TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR. NO. 47. Handsome Costumes THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY IN UTOPIA THERE IS SUPREME TWENTY-EIGHTH Handsome THE handsome calling costume at the left is of scarlet satin. The skirt laps to one side both in back and front and is ornamented with passementerle buttons to match. The corsage is draped and crossed and is trimmed with a sort of revers collar of venetian lace and with a cockade of gold ribbon. The gulpe, with round low neck, is of white lace ornamented with two rings of jet buttons. The more dressy toilet at the right SERGE IS POPULAR MATERIAL Coats for Both Grown-Ups and Children Are Seeh Both in Dark Blue and Checks. Serge is preferred to cloth for the serviceable coat and very often a smart little coat of serge has no trimming at all save a big collar of some contrasting material. Dark blue serge and black and white check seem to be the favorites for the tailored coats designed for serviceable wear, though biscuit and khaki tones are considerably used. On the dark blue serge a big collar of dull blue crash, plain or with scalloped and embroidered edge and perhaps some other embroidery design is liked. Ercu linen is used for collars, too, and some little coats in dark blue have big collars of soft rose linen embroidered in white. Then, too, big collars of embroidered white pique are very smart on the dark coats. Often in the coats for children from three to six years of age the coat which falls almost to the bottom of the dress has a collar wide over the shoulders and sloping down quite to the bottom of the coat. Or perhaps the fronts cross diagonally, following the natural line of such a collar and two big buttons are set on diagonally at the very bottom of the overlapping front, the collar ending just above. THE LADY OF THE TOWN Decidedly chic is this simple little empire frock built of snow white mohair and trimmed only with big white pearl buttons. The shawl reverg give a graceful line to the shoulder and at the back these revers extend into a deep sailor collar. The smart side frill of tucked muslin and lace is matched by deep cuffs, which have much to do with the distinction of this simple little afternoon costume. The hat is a white chip model faced under the brim with black velvet and trimmed with a white curled ostrich wreath. The parasol is white silk with a border of venise lace and a carved ivory handle. THE GAZETTE has a skirt of white liberty veiled with white mousseline de sole, which is slightly gathered, trimmed with an applique of fine black guipure and finished, according to fashion, with flounce of green liberty. The pretty new bolero is also of green liberty with collar of white satin bordered with a gold embroidery and a band of black satin. The plastron is of white mousseline de sole with an applique of black lace. A gold cord with tassels form the girdle. TAPESTRIES IN NEW DESIGNS Light Summer Hangings This Year Are Prettier Than Those of Recent Seasons. Each year brings its special fashions in furnishings, and just now, when the question of house cleaning is prominently to the fore, no little interest is being taken in the new chintz and tapestries which are now on show for loose coverings of all kinds. Everywhere one notices the effect of the Jacobean influence which is reasserting itself in matter appertaining to household decorations. L. place of the bunch of roses tied with bows of colored ribbon, which have figured on all chintz of late, one finds the new furnishing fabrics are printed in a variation of rich reds, greens, browns or wine color on a cream ground, or display bold conventional designs somewhat closely patterned, which lend themselves admirably to furnishing purposes and which look far more handsome and imposing than the simple floral designs of yesterday? This new Jacobean taffeta is being used for curtains, bedspreads and cushion covers, as well as for covering chairs and sofas. SMOOTH EYE NEEDLE BEST Choice of Needles for Embroidery Matter in Which Great Care Should Be Exercised. Exercise care in the choice of needles for embroidery. The best is a needle with a smooth eye that allows the silk plenty of leeway and will not pull or rough it. Be sure your needle is adapted to the size of the silk. A too small eye cuts and frays the silk, gathering it in a thick lump which must be forced through the fabric. A too large one, on the other hand, shows the holes and makes the work look as if it had too few stitches. In general, when working on the usual materials, a No. 9 or a No. 10 needle is best for double silk, No. 12 for fine embroidery with a single thread, No. 7 for thick floss, twisted embroidery silk and outline silk and No. 3 for rope silk. In shading, where a number of colors are used alternately, have a needle for each color, and use the different needles in succession, instead of unthreading and threading again as you come to each new color. Neckband Again. The mode of the low-necked dress and the collarless frock has called out the black velvet neckband once more. This band is about an inch in width. When last worn this was merely a band, fastening in back or front under a buckle or pretty pin. Now, however, it is fastened in the back in the manner of thirty or forty years ago, with the long ends hanging down the back. Skirt Contrasts. The sheath, harem, hobble and other clinging skirts of today serve to make this photographic reproduction of this skirt of a couple of generations ago the more interesting. It was made of flowered silk and its fair weirer co cupied an entire sofa ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1911. COLORED PHYSICIAN URGES CLEANLINESS Dr. John A. Kenney of Tuskegee Institute Is Issuing Series of Health Bulletins. KILL THE FLIES NOW ABUNDANCE OF FLIES MEANS MUCH FILTH AND THE TWO MEAN PREVALENCE OF DISEASE Tuskegee, Ala.—(Special.)—As a result of the tuberculosis exhibition held here a year ago much valuable education work is being done along health matters. The second of a series of sanitary bulletins, which follows, sent out by Dr. Jno. A. Kenney, physician of the school, is devoted to the fly and tells practical things which the colored people can do. Now is the time to kill the flies. The common house fly is one of the worst enemies to health we have. He breeds in filth; such as manure heaps, unclean barn yards, stables, pigpens, toilets, garbage garses, and heaps of old rubbish. He is not very discriminating about his food. He will feed on the refuse of the above-mentioned places for a while, and then with legs, wings, and belly loaded with this filth and thousands of germs, many of which are disease-breeding, will fly away to your kitchen, or dining room, or bedchamber. There he will walk over your meat, fruit, vegetables, bread and over the sleeping baby's lips, leaving behind him a trail of this filth and these germs, many of which are deadly. Thus, he spreads diarrhoea, dysentery, typhoid fever, tuberculosis and other dangerous diseases. The fly that falls into the pitcher of milk and is thrown out has possibly had washed from his body sufficient dangerous germs to poison the entire household. Abundance of flies means much filth. The two means prevalence of disease. Therefore, clean up! clean out!! keen clean!! Attack them in their breeding places. Cut off their sources of supply. The female lays her eggs in accumulated filth. They hatch in about ten days. Hence, if the rubbish is disinfected and removed or destroyed once a week, we destroy a generation of flies. By so doing we stop the breed and at the same time cut off their food supply. Then they will seek the interior of your homes. Screen all your doors and windows and keep them out. Keep your kitchens and dining rooms clean. Cover up everything that is eatable. Don't let soiled dishes or kitchen utensils stand for a minute. Where there are earth closets, use pails, plenty of dry earth, lime, ashes and fly proof covers. Starve out the flies; then put down fly paper and fly poison and they'll flock to it. Even more essential now to take these precautions than in early summer, because the cool weather of approaching fall and winter will run them to your dwellings for shelter and food. Will you continue to furnish board and lodgings for some of your deadliest enemies? Statistics from some of the large cities prove that the above classes of diseases increase many fold in the fall months when the first cool weather drives the flies in; and before it is sufficiently cold to kill them. Away with the deadly house fly! Civilization, decency and health all demand that he must go. TENNESSEE WANTS PROPERTY OF EX-SLAVES' TO GO TO THE STATE Memphis (Special.)—Involving the rights of property owned by ex-slaves, the state of Tennessee, through Attorney General Estes has filed a bill in chancery against the unknown heirs of Susan Ann Reilly, for sale of real estate, which it is claimed, has reverted to the state by escheat. Susan Ann Reilly, it is said, died in 1874, owning lots in the Canovan subdivision at Driver street and Railroad avenue. The woman's husband took possession and it afterward passed through several hands, a portion being sold for taxes. It is claimed in the bill that Susan Ann Reilly was never legally married and that all of kniw of were of slave marriage and ex-slaves. It is the prayer that the property be sold and the proceeds used for churches and schools. MEETING OF MISSISIPPI NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. Mound Bayou, Miss.-The Mississippi Negro Business league, of which Charles Banks of Mound Bayou, Miss., is president, has secured Prof. Kelly Miller, the famous writer and educator of Howard university, to deliver an address before the league during its annual session at Natchez, Miss., June 28 and 29. ONE OLD RUIN. Mr. Cleverton—You saw some old ruins in England this summer, I suppose? Miss.

Boston, Mass. (Special.)—Theodore Cable, the colored weight thrower of Harvard, who won the hammer throw against Yale with a throw of 148 feet, 8 inches, is considered one of the best men in this event in collegiate circles this year and must be considered when the Intercollegiate come around week after next. The best throw that Cable has made this spring has been 150 feet, 7 inches. This was made in the Harvard handicap games two weeks ago, and broke the Harvard record formerly held by Harry Kersberg. In the Dartmouth meet the big fellow was far from being in form and was forced to take third place, being beaten by Tilley and Marden of Dartmouth, and himself throwing the weight but 136 feet. But during the past week he has received more valuable coaching and has seemed to regain his former form. Cable is a phenomenon in one way, for he never had a hammer in his hands before coming to college from Shortridge high school at his home in Indianapolis. He was taken in hand by Coach "Bill" Quinn when a freshman a year ago, and soon became so proficient that he won the event in the freshman dual games with a throw of 117 feet. This year he has successfully mastered the triple turn and at present is able to take all three of his turns and gain the resultant momentum without any difficulty in staring within the ring. Many of those who have seen him in competition at his best predict a bright future for him in his favorite event, and Coach Quinn will have valuable material for the next two years to go after the intercollegiate record. In addition to being a crack hammer thrower, Cable is very good as a performer in the dashes, low hurdles and broad jump. In the latter event he has done 21 feet in practice. In the Harvard-Yale freshmen annual dual track games in the Harvard stadium, A. L. Jackson was second in the high hurdles and first in the low hurdles at 220 yards. In this he made a record for these games at 25 2-5 seconds, which was not allowed, however, as he knocked over several of the barriers as he went over them. Carl F. Johnson, a senior in the Bangor, Me, high school, was awarded the third honor in its annual gold medal essay contest. He is the only colored pupil in this school, and the first to receive such an honor. SPREADING THE HEALTH KNOWLEDGE COLORED CHILDREN ARE BEING EDUCATED TO FIGHT FILTH AND FLIES. Greensboro, N. C.—To show the possibility of spreading health knowledge through the children of the colored race, President J. B. Dudley reports that in one of the public schools the principal was disappointed by the failure of a speaker to appear at the agreed time. One of the negro ladies volunteered to talk and he told the children about a visit to the A. & M. C. college, where he had heard a talk about how tuberculosis is communicated by flies crawling over sputum and carried to the food. The effect upon the boy who told the story gives hope to the teachers of the A. & M. college to stress instruction upon the lines of hygiene and better care of the body. Many of the tuberculosis enemies have long agreed that the great hope for reaching the negro race is through the children who are in the public schools. During the last week of the exhibition in Greensboro, special attention was given to the colored schools and arrangements were made for them to get all possible benefit from the exhibition campaign. NO CHOICE YET FOR THE HAITIAN MISSION Washington, Dd. C. (Special.)—There is no choice as yet for the Haitian mission, to be vacated in July by Minister H. W. Furniss of Indiana. The various "booms" have been working overtime this week, but the president gives no intimation as to what he intends to do about the matter. The newest entrant to the race is Mr. William T. Francis, a St. Paul attorney, who has had much experience in railroad litigation, and who is chief clerk of one of the most important divisions of a railroad company in his home city. Mr. Francis is a native of Indianapolis, Ind., but went to Minnesota as a boy thirty-odd years ago. He has the support of Senators Clapp and Nelson and the entire Minnesota delegation in congress. It is understood that Congressman F. C. Stevens of the St. Paul district will push Mr. Francis' claims vigorously, and he expects to carry a delegation of influential Minnesotans to the White House in his interest within the fewest of days. 70 YEARS OLD SHE WINS TWO MEDALS Mrs. Martha Harmon Is Honored by Board of Education of New York City. RECORD AN UNUSUAL ONE AGED PUPIL HAS NOT MISSED A NIGHT AT SCHOOL DURING THE PAST FOUR YEARS. New York City.—(Special.)—Up In Harlem the colored residents boast of celebrities galore, but a new one has been added to the list in the person of Mrs. Martha Harmon, seventy years old, who is also the pride of the New York board of education, and the principal and teachers of public night school No. 157. Despite her advanced years, Mrs. Harmon is now enjoying her school days, and the remarkable record she has made within the past four years has brought her fame. A few evenings ago she was presented with two gold medals which she proudly wears on "state occasions." One of the medals was given for attendance and the other for efficiency in her studies. Mrs. Harmon is considered an ideal pupil by her teachers. At public night school No. 157, the principal and teachers often refer to their seventy-year-old pupil and her record. For four years she has been attending night school, taking an elementary course. During the four years Mrs. Harmon has never missed an evening and has been late but once. She would not have been tardy the one time had it not been for company who called on her one evening last season, and in the midst of an interesting conversation the aged pupil failed to pay attention to the clock, walking into her class room a few minutes after the teacher had called the roll. Mrs. Harmon resides at 198 West One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street, and public night school No. 157 is located at One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street and Manhattan avenue, yet this woman, seventy years old, has walked to school every evening during the four years, braving the snow, sleet, rain and wind. Not once has she ridden to the school house. The night school term commences in October and ends in April. During the winter months school is held every week day except Friday and Saturday. In order to acquire education, Mrs. Harmon has donned her heavy coat and mittens for four years and wended her way on foot to school, defying the wintry blasts and treacherous sidewalks. Mrs. Harmon was born in Kentucky seventy years ago, and while young moved to Dayton, Ohio, where she spent most of her life. She resided for years just around the corner from Paul Lawrence Dunbar, and members when he was quite a lad. Some years ago she moved to New York. She is a widow and has a daughter and a grandson. Mrs. Harmon does not seem to think that she has done anything unusual for a woman of her age, and is not disposed to speak of how enviable record. She says the medals speak for themselves. REVOLT AGAINST SIMON PLANNED IN JAMAICA Kingston, Jamaica—According to papers another revolution, directed at the administration of President Simon of Haiti, is baiting here, where Haitain exiles long resided in this city, have joined forces with their expatriated countrymen from Porto Rico and St. Thomas. The published reports state that the revolt will be greater in scope and more relentless than any that has occurred in the republic. If it succeeds Gen. Cincinnatus Leconte, who took part in the recent rebellion, will be proclaimed president, and Gen. Antenor Firmin, who has not been allowed to return to Haiti since he left his post as minister at London without authority, will be made minister of war. Several Cubans here are said to be ready to join the rebel ranks. President Simon is reported to be aware of the conspiracy and to have taken steps to cope with the new situation. INTERESTING INVESTIGATION COLLEGE PROFESSOR WANTS TO KNOW WHERE COLORED GIRL CAN BE TREATED FOR TUBERCULOSIS. West Point, Miss (Special).—President Johnson of Mary J. Holmes college, has started an interesting investigation and one which may lead to important developments. He has requested the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis to inform him as to a sanitarium where a colored girl can be treated. In view of the widespread interest among the whites in reaching the increase of tuberculosis this question as to institutions for the treatment of those who ought to get well is especially significant. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. WESTERN RESERVE CLEVELAND, O. HISTORICAL SOCIETY. SINGLE COPY AFRO-AMERICA The Southwestern Christian Advocate, whose brilliant editor is one of the south's most useful citizens, devotes its last issue to celebrating the accomplishments of the leading laymen of the Methodist Episcopal church, among whom are some of the important figures in present-day affairs. There are more than 300,000 colored members in the mother church, and they are there to stay, we believe. The influence of the church upon the general lives of the nation may be seen in the lives of the men pictured in the Southwestern, and many not pictured there, who have been educated on Methodist money, inspired by Methodist doctrine, and led in the way of achievements by Methodist examples of persistence. Among the number of whom Dr. Jones writes, is Emmett J. Scott, whose excellencies many men know, whose rare service in his day is household of Dr. Scott it is here household: "Emmett J. Scott is the pride of Texas, an honored son of the whole race. He is a product of Wiley university and this distinguished alumnus of this Texas institution is loved and honored, not only by the alumni of Wiley and the Methodist host of Texas and the Methodist host of the country over. He was discovered by Dr. Booker T. Washington 14 years ago when he was in Houston, the editor of the Texas Freeman, which he had founded. Previous to this time Mr. Scott had done work upon the white dalles of Houston. Mr. Scott is best known as the executive secretary of Tuskegee and the strong right hand of Dr. Washington. He enjoys the full confidence of his chief, and because of Mr. Scott's clear thinking, devotion to the high ideals, his integrity, and his high moral character, he has not only been able to serve Dr. Washington and the great Tuskegee institute, but he has made a place of his own. It was no empty honor when President Taft appointed him one of three commissioners to the Republic of Liberia, being the first negro ever sent abroad on a warship by our government on a like mission. Emmett J. Scott is a prince." The schools are turning them out by the thousands at this time of the year. And fortunately more opportunities are opening every year for young colored men and women. The demand does not as yet equal the output of the more scholarly classes. The masses, however, are finding employment, and which, after, all means very much to the professional people who must depend on the welfare of the masses. The condition is not unlike that elsewhere, but of course, in a smaller and a more limited way. The white people have no sharp, abrupt, well defined gradation as between classes as the colored people have. Their societies, speaking industrially, gently merge into one another, making it more difficult to observe that the professional classes depend on the welfare of the masses. The point is that the colored people are also approaching that plane where the well being of one class, right among themselves, aside from the same general condition, means the prosperity of other classes, thus establishing an interdependent relationship, which in the end, equals the welfare of all. Heretofore the colored people have looked almost solely to the white race for everything. And indeed they are by no means eliminated as yet, since that same general interdependent relationship includes them. But they have reached the place where thousands depend on other thousands of the race directly for their daily bread. Here is an excellent chance to talk optimistically of the race and of the country, regardless of other conditions. Talking up the good points of the country will do more good than harm.—The Freeman. I am conscious that the Negro race is laboring under disadvantages, but I always prefer to put the emphasis on advantages. One of our advantages is this: In studying American history you will find the Negro is the only race that came to this country as the result of a special and urgent invitation. Moreover, they were so anxious to have us that we came here without having to pay a cent of passage money. We are gradually getting into business. Many thousands of small shops are owned by Negroes, and they can get banking facilities as easily as the whitest of the whites. Why, there are fifty-seven banks in the southern states owned and controlled by Negroes. And always remember that from the south you hear more of our enemies than of our friends. Up north you hear of the white man who burns a Negro's house or lynches him, but you do not hear of the thousands and thousands of the quiet southern men and women who help, and advise the Negro, lend him money to start and look after him. We are progressing wonderfully, and it is only by the aid of such friends as these.—Booker T. Washington. IN WICH HARLEY STREET The Boston Herald has the following trenchant editorial on the Colored races as colonists of Great Britain. The influx of Negroes into the Canadian Northwest is viewed with little satisfaction by the other settlers, large numbers of whom are themselves from the United States. Parties of Colored people, evidently of a good type, well supplied with funds, have been subjected to rigid tests by the immigration authorities; but it has been found impossible to shut them out, and they have pushed on to the Peace River country. All they asked, the men said, was free land and a chance to make homes for themselves and their families. "White settlers talk of an exclusion law. Now is the time, they say; soon it will be too late. Some argue that legislation is not needed; the government could refuse to grant homesteads. A member of the Alberta provincial cabinet favors a head tax. "Sentiment has been particularly stirred by reports from South Africa. There Lord Gladstone exercised the prerogative of clemency in the case of a native condemned to death for an offence which is usually followed by lynching in the southern states. Lord Gladstone gave" the man the benefit of a doubt, but feeling among the white people of the colony was strongly stirred. "Britain is also confronted with the problem of Hindu immigration in Canada and Africa. The problem is the more perplexing because the Hindus are British subjects. There is also the question of Japanese immigration in British Columbia and Australia. Altogether, the race difficulty is growing serious for England. "With regard to Negroes in the northwest, only those of the best type, physically and morally are likely to brave the rigors of that northern land. Such will not be a menace to any community. If the Negro succeeds as a pioneer, he will be able to lay claim in an equality now denied him." The leading article in a recent number of The Outlook, "The Man Farthest Down," by Dr. Booker T. Washington, is the first of a series of six articles "based on observation abroad, comparing the living conditions of the European peasant, woman worker, and miner, with those of the American negro." Col. Roosevelt is one of the editors of the Outlook. In his first article Dr. Washington finds that the American negro is so much better off in every way as to make it in any way comparable to that of the white man in Europe at the bottom of the ladder. The vast number of European workmen in the United States and those who are steadily coming here indicates, he thinks, also the hard conditions of the poor in Europe. Afro-Americans should read the series of articles by Dr. Washington, as they will in that way get a vivid picture of themselves and their condition as compared with those of the least favored class in Europe. Dr. Washington's faith in his race and what it has accomplished and what it will accomplish, with its splendid opportunity for development, is one of the most hopeful assets the race has at this time. He strikes the high note of hope, and it is possible to follow that note with the faith in honest works which makes for the largest success and happiness.—Editorial: Atlantic City Messenger. We met a selfish pastor 20 years ago who had no use for a poor struggle and fought to keep hard working, consecrated young men and women down. Today that same pastor is in rags and poverty and his church members disrespect him. It pays best to be good and sympathetic all the time. No man nor woman has ever lost anything by sympathizing with others and helping others. To be true, liberal and congenial beats the world. This advice is to children, be kind one to the other and as you leave the school room give nothing but buques to your schoolmates and acquaintances. Don't speak of your as sociates; be liberal to all and selfish to none for many have fallen in shame and disgrace because they laughed at others, and they themselves soon became a laughing stock. The last selfish girl we read of went straight down to hell when she died. Therefore it pays not to be selfish—Charleston Messenger. More and more, a certain amount of race pride is taking hold of the negro in the north. Every now and then, this is evidenced on State street, Chicago, when a little grocery store or some other business enterprise is opened by a member of the race. Every office, real estate firm, print shop, restaurant, millinery store, dress making department that opens up, means employment to members of the race. What colored man or woman objects to seeing members of the race making an honorable living? If you wish to encourage this sort of livelihood, rally to those that operate race institutions; it means a salvation to the educated young man and woman. It is high time we think of these things—Illinois Chronicle. 2 THE GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY One Year.....$1.50 Six Months.....1.00 Three Months......50 Subcriblers are requested to mit by postoffice money or der or registered letter.

The next President should be a Republican other than Taft. The Governor of Ohio appoints more than "three of the trustees" of the State Department of Wilberforce University. This for the benefit of the N. Y. Age. The "great big things" President Taft has done to injure the race far outweigh the few small "things" he has done for it. There are but few of our people who do not know this or who refuse "to see it." The Ohio Legislature appropriated nearly $140,000 for Wilberforce's State Department—the Normal and Industrial department—and not for the University. Many of our exchanges do not seem to understand this. O, that our great and good friend, Judge Foraker had been in the Senate when that "direct vote for U. S. Senators" resolution was pending. How he would have made "the welkin ring!" The Republican party and the people sadly need him there, these days. A recent decision of the Alabama supreme court, which was unanimous, was that the sheriff by failing to provide a sufficient defense of the jail and protect his prisoner, an Afro-American, proved himself unworthy of the office, and the court removed him from office. Good! If one-half of the "stuff" American daily papers have published about Jack Johnson, since he landed in England the first of last week, are true, he certainly is "going some." The chances are that most of it, however, is "manufactured" and "cut out of whole cloth, too." N. Y. State is to have an Afro-American regiment. The State Assembly passed the bill last week and it is said Gov. Dix will sign it at the special request of Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, the grand old veteran of the war of the rebellion. All democrats. N. Y. republicans have for years refused to do this very thing. Prelude, particularly American color and race prejudice, is a terrible thing. If you do not think so, just note the sad case of Mrs. Cora Clamorgan Collins of St. Louis, Mo., and her six weeks old baby, mentioned in our last issue and in The Gazette's" doings of the Race" department. According to the latest dispatches Mr. Collins' father is urging him on against his will. The husband is under age. When the South stops lynching disfranchising and "jimcrowning" our people on both railroad and street cars, perhaps Afro-Americans will be willing to stand the other discrimination and mistreatment to get some of that "two hundred million acres of unimproved land in the South." Dr. Booker T. Washington talked so well about, at Wilberforce, last week Thursday. Mrs. Laura Nelson was outraged by white brushes before she and her 16 year-old son were taken from jail at Okema, Okla., on May 25, dragged to the "Canadian" river, six miles away, and hanged from a bridge. She was jailed because alleged stolen goods were said to have been found in her home. S'more southern "chivalry." There is a million acres of land in Oklahoma for settlement, Dr. Washington! When a doctor was needed in Pittsburgh, the other day, so resuscitate a fireman (white) who fell suffocated on a burning roof, and no white doctor was "in sight." Dr. W. H. Christian was good enough to go to that roof and save the life of the man. It was a brave and, too, a generous act when it is remembered that these very same firemen will not permit a member of Dr. Christian's race to act as a fireman with them. One of the leading and oldest hotels in the south, the Yarborough House of Raleigh, N. C. has introduced waiter-girls of color and they have shown marked improvement over men of color, it is said. In view of the fact that our waiters and barbers are "losing out" too generally throughout the country, it might be well for those most interested to find out why and endeavor to remedy the evils before it is too late. Father Justin, President of Christian Brothers' College, a Catholic school in St. Louis, Mo., told six white members of the senior class who threatened to refuse their diplomas if the Afro-American member was given a degree, that the latter would receive his diploma if he was the only member of the graduating class to do so. That settled the threatened "strike." More power to Father Justin and his kind. Albert Wilkinson, the Afro-American, has been in the class for three years, and has a model record, leading his classmates in mathematics. "Jim-Crow" or separate Y. M. C. A.'s, are "out of place" and inexusable in the north as they are wrong as a matter of religious principle, everywhere. "Fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man!" Mr. Julius Rosenwald, a Jew, of Chicago, could have given his thousands of dollars in a better way to the same work, without promoting separate Y. M. C. A.'s. Senator Joe Bailey of Texas, at the close of an address to Confederate veterans on the anniversary of the birth of Jeff. Davis, introduced to the audience an aged Negro who had been a body servant of the rebel leader, Davis, saying: "He is the only man living who knows where the seal of the Confederate states is, and he won't tell." Good! Let the secret die with him. A MIGHTY CLOSE CALL! Southern Democratic U. S. Senators made a fight last week to reconsider the vote which adopted the Britow amendment to the resolution for direct election of U. S. Senators, and lost it. Another good thing! The amendment (if the resolution as amended is adopted by the lower house of Congress, and approved by three-fourths of the states of the Union) preserves in the U. S. constitution federal control of the election of U. S. Senators (as well as that of U. S. Representatives). This is as it should be, unless it is desired to make it possible for Southern states to LE-GALLY disfranchise their Afro-American vote, something they are now unable to do, notwithstanding their unconstitutional disfranchisement acts of various kinds. It is worth remembering, too, that Senator Pomerene, Ohio's Democratic member of the upper branch of Congress, voted with his southern Democratic colleagues, in this contest. Ohio Afro-Americans should never forget the fact, as there is sure to come a time when we can "square" this account with him, and under this self-same "direct vote" provision. Vice-President Sherman, President of the Senate, who cast the vote that broke the Senate tie-vote, and secured the adoption of the Bristow amendment, is entitled to unstinted praise and the thanks of our people for his action in the matter. He was undoubtedly "the man of the hour." Aent the resolution, the Chicago Daily Inter Ocean says, editorially: "Had this resolution been opposed, not with a mere lawyer's argument, like Root's, or a scholar's presentation, like Lodge's—had it been opposed by a real leader (Foraker) with a statesman's courage in his heart the bread warming of his hand, the blood of his failure and the firewall of this representative Republic would have been spared a staggering blow."

They get all of it from the white man and give 90 per cent of it back to him in one way and another.

"Within sixty days after that ghostly massacre down in Texas, last July—where more than sixty Colored people were done to death by mob violence, lynched, shot down in the fields, shot down in the streets, home at night, kicked and clubbed or stabbed to death, and all on account of an ordinary street-brawl between a white man and a Negro, and all without any subsequent investigation by local, state or federal authority—Dr. Booker T.

England has a race problem in India but she has grappled and is grappling with it and with a prospect of solving it successfully. She has a race problem on her hands in Egypt, but it also is in the process of solution, not understanding the gratuitous advice given her by the Goosevelt, who "trying to teach his grandmother to egg's", attempted to tell the great liberal government of England, the most progressive that ever ruled the British Empire, how to do something that his own administration at home utterly failed to accomplish and failed in the most contemptible, ignominious manner.

JUNE 23, 1911 Feeling himself as an American citizen. I denounce it as has been in the actualities of the case. He may succeed in deceiving the English people, but I don't think so. He certainly will not if the Colored people of the U.S. exhibit one-tenth as much courage, common sense and ordinary perception as they have patience through all these long years of trial and suffering. It is a deplorable, abominable business in which he has engaged himself. As an American citizen, I denounce it as has been in the actualities of the case. FRESH OHIO NEWS OUR OWN WRITERS Youngstown. Mrs. V. Lightfoot of Denora, Pa., is visiting her sister Mrs. Hurst of W. Madison Ave. "It may interest the country," Hon Joseph C. Manning (white) of Alabama said recently in Boston, "to know what is being done for the education of the Colored masses by the South, which so much desires to be let alone. In Alabama, for example, the year 1910 for the Colored public schools 322,707. The average attendance is shown by the reports to be 89,008, while the enrollment is but 142,813. There were 179,894 Colored children who did not even get their names enrolled. The average duration of the so-called Colored public schools is only five months of the year." Only the ales of ex-Semester Foraker classes assess unprejudiced, thinking people. During debates upon the great questions of the halls of Congress, ques Hon. Joseph C. Manning. tions pregnant with promise of good or ill to this great country, there is no Foraker to counsel, no Foraker to guide, no Foraker to sound loud the alarm as to dangers that lurk in every pathway of contemplated legislation! He has been sorely missed! A wise and honest lawyer, a splendid orator, a courageous statesman. He is too young to retire from the arena of public life. The hue and cry about contagious diseases has with has about run the course of other fads and bugaboos. A recall of Senator Foraker would in our opinion be the wisest move possible in view of present dangers to the country and grand old party. The plaudits of the Sunny South are only valuable, during times when no voting is being done,—when election day comes, it ever turns to Democracy. Foraker should not be permitted to stay retired how much he may so desire. The country needs him!—Cincinnati Union. John B. Collins (white) of St. Louis, Mo., who is under age, husband of Mrs. Cora Clamorgan Collins, a member of the race, 17 years of age, and father of her six weeks old baby, says he will rewired her when he is 21 years of age if their marriage is annulled. This his father is seeking to have done in the courts of St. Louis. Suit has been filed. The Collinses were married in 1915, an eloquence will not contest a divorce, but will fight the suit for annulment—for obvious reasons. Intermarriage is barred in Missouri by state law where either person has more than "one-eighth Negro blood." Mrs. Collins claims to have much less than that amount.[11] The great grandfather of Mrs. Collins, Cyprian Clamorgan, wrote and published a book, in 1858, "The Colored Aristocrat of St. Louis." The history in detail of several wealthy and prominent Negro families, and it is a matter of tradition that one family for whom streets and are named in that city, was omitted at the urgent request of members of that generation. Cyprian Clamorgan, in addition to writing this social register, started a legal battle for possession of some valuable land in St. Louis and St. Charles counties, time the U.S. Government recognized the claim by offering a considerable sum of money as a compromise. This was refused, and a bill is now pending in Congress for an adjustment of the matter. The lands involved are worth many million dollars, and the claim of the Clamorgans is based on grants from Spain to Spanish paternal ancestors. The wealthy woman of St. Louis' Colored colony at that time, as Mrs. Pollegie Rutgers, who is described as the "Lady of the Rutgers," has 50,000 perhaps equivalent to $5,000,000 at this time. Her home, the old Rutgers mansion at 1308 South Seventh St., is described in detail, including the lavish manner of her expenditures and the $2,000 piano in her parlor. Her daughter, Antoinette, was "a most desirable match," the book says. Phone Bell, North 1075-X Cuy. Cent. THOS. P.

The participants were Misses Mamie Clark and Jessie Ferguson, a piano duet: Miss Addie Hackley, a vocal solo: Mrs. H. K Price, a reading, and Mr. Thos. Reynolds, teacher of music at our State School of Alabama, who will spend the day with the students in respon- request, and was compelled to respond with a second number. The mention of County Prosecutor John A. Cline as a Republican candidate for the Mayorality nomination, this fall, recalls the fact that he promised our voters of this city, representation in the office of County Prosecutor John A. Cline, and elected that office. After induction into office, Cline, refused to keep his promise to appoint Alexander H. Martin, Esq. In view of the fact that Cleveland Republicans and Democrats are about evenly divided, we fail to see the wisdom of the talk of the nomination of Cline who if nominated is bound to have the united opposition of every self-respecting Afro-American Republican city Councilman in this numbers four thousand—a conservative estimate. Loud and noisy talking, laughing and "singing" at all hours of the night and early morning, while others are trying to sleep, are among the things that make many Negroes undesirable to tenants and neighbors. "Hah! Hah! !" he-ee-ehah!!!" and "Good nee-ee-yight," velled several times at any time between midnight and early morning, by both men and women, so one a quarter of a mile away, can hear it plainly, is still another reason why it is so hard for Negroes, as a rule, to rent houses in most desirable sections of the city and utterly impossible for them to do so in others. Then, too, too many of our people are not as near as particular about paying their rent, etc., as they are to spend the money "going visiting" in the summer time, attending picnics, dances, etc. Think it over and see if this is not right. While "the other fellow" (white) has much to be blamed for, in our case, some of it, indeed considerable of the blame rests at home—with us. There must come a change for the better soon, that we can effect, or conditions will be almost unbearable for Cleveland Negroes in the near future. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY JUNE 23. 1911 BUYS MOST EXPENSIVE CAR. Jack Johnson Does Not Consider Expense Automobile to His Wife. LONDON, England—Jack Johnson has ordered the most expensive automobile obtainable as a gift for his wife. It will be a Chalmers limousine and will cost $18,000. The champion signed a contract today with a jeweler for $2,500 worth of interior fittings. The car will be royal blue in color and will be lined with blue and gold brocade. Included in the fittings will be gold vases and a solid gold arrangement containing cigarette boxes, match boxes, flasks and soap bottles and the car will also have a 14-carat gold arose Johnson insisted on 18-carat and also ordered a duplicate set in silver for ordinary use. The initials, "J. A. J." will be emblazoned on the panel and incrusted with Montana sapphires so imbedded that steal them would be impossible. Johnson and his wife spent Saturday in their giant racing car and were cheered by the populace and followed by thousands wherever they went. The champion is the idol of the street thrifts. Whenever his car stops he jolts and shakes his head on the running board to feel muscles. Johnson has engaged expensive hair dressers and manicurists for his wife, who is a fine looking woman. DR. WASHINGTON'S SPEECH He Urges Our Young Men to go South —Cheap Land, Fertile Soil and Rising Cotton Demand Pointed To. Wilberforce—The largest crowd during commencement exercises, which lasted more than a week, was present last Thursday when Dr. Booker F. Washington spoke. Commencement this year was exceptionally brilliant and successful, and President Scarborough and the faculty of the university are very much pleased and gratified. Among the things Mr. Washington said was, "I sometimes fear that we, as a race, do not rightly appreciate the advan- D. tages and opportunities which we enjoy in this country. The great bulk of our people, 6,000,000 at least, reside in the southern states. Two hundred million acres, or over 50 per cent, of the total and the 50 per cent improved, but that is the land that an entire time is comparatively cheap and can be purchased by black man or white man, but it will not remain cheap long. The price of cotton is increasing in value every year. There is only a small territory so far found in the southern states, and it isuced. That territory is in our southern states. The black man can get this land. He can share in the immense profits of the present and the still greater profits of the future in cotton growing. Cotton is being consumed in larger quantities every year throughout the world; that means an increase in the cotton production it will be harder in the future to get cotton producing land' than it is now. There are millions of acres of land in the South that can be purchased for cotton raising, for trucking, for dairying and for fruit growing. There are millions of acres from which coal and iron can be produced. All these are possibilities within the reach of the humbest black man in America."

LOUIS, MO. ed at the Brewery Case of We Grow Our Hair Now Let Us Grow Yours With Spiritual Growth A Sermon In the spiritual, as in the physical, order growth is the law of life. In the natural state only one man—Adam—was ushered into the world complete and perfect; so, too, in the supernatural, but one man—Christ—was conceived and borne in the perfection of holiness. The rest of us must attain to that perfection by measured, slow degrees—must grow, expand, develop, in soul as well as in body. To those who observe closely the phenomena of both there is a striking parallelism between physical and spiritual growth. While there are for all of us, even the most highly favored, many ups and downs and setbacks in our course of physical growth—periods in which we seem to be at a standstill, times of sickness, loss and arrested development—yet there are types which, for the most part, grow apace with seeming ease and naturalness despite all adverse surroundings, while others, notwithstanding their superior advantages and their wishes and efforts to grow, make but little apparent advance. Of stunted growth and dwarfed proportions, they never succeed in reaching the stage of perfect physical manhood. So with the progress of the spirit. Some seem to grow quite freely and naturally, with little trouble or labor. Religion and its requirements are a real pleasure to them. Their temptations are not very strong or numerous, and their course in the spiritual life may be aptly compared to a pleasant sail on a bright summer day over the waters of a calm, unruffled lake. Others, on the contrary, find the spiritual life a most severe and trying ordeal. In spite of their strenuous efforts to grow they seem to make but little headway. Their passions are strong and imperative; their temptations many and great. Religious restraints are galling and burdensome. Their course lies over a rough and troubled sea. Buffeted and tossed about by the howling winds and the angry waves, their frail bark is often on the very verge of shipwreck. Or (to adopt another figure) like the weary and footsore traveler climbing a steep and slippery mountain ascent, just when they have succeeded in making a little advance the foot slips and down again they go, perhaps even lower than ever. But if, undaunted by repeated failures, they presevere manfully, determined to reach the top at all hazards, they are assuredly deserving of far more credit than the first class mentioned. The soul that has to struggle and strive in order to work out its destiny, the man who tries to do the right in spite of all the obstacles he meets with, in spite of his towering passion, his natural infirmities, his lack of opportunities, his disadvantages of birth and education and training, who struggles and pushes ahead in the face and teeth of every adverse circumstance, may be better in the sight of God, even though he fall at times, than the man who is easily and naturally good, good almost without effort; who seldom fails simply because there is little or nothing to make him fall. The poor soul everlastingly beset with difficulties may not seem to be growing very much, but it is growing nevertheless, if it is but doing its best—growing slowly, perhaps, but none the less surely and steadily. In speaking of the superior merits of the sorely tried soul, there is no intention of discouraging or disparaging those who are, in a way, naturally good, for their condition is, in many respects, an enviable one and a subject for gratitude, enabling them, as it does, to work out their salvation with comparative ease. Nor is it intended, on the other hand, to encourage those sluggish and self-indulgent souls who are everlastingly excusing themselves on the score of their real or imaginary difficulties. To say that we couldn't help falling is virtually to accuse the Almighty of unreasonableness, and even of downright tyranny, for He is bound in justice to give us the necessary means to reach the end He proposes. What we say is meant rather as a word of encouragement for those who are deeply in earnest, thoroughly sincere, who mean to do right, who try generally to do right, but who, in spite of their good resolutions and endeavors, sometimes fall. Through their own fault they fail, for if they made a proper use of their God-given helps they need never succumb. But, while their failures are a source of humiliation, they are not a reason for discouragement. When the benighted traveler falls by the roadside he doesn't lie there all night, unless he be a fool, but picks himself up and goes on again with greater caution, profiting by the experience. To "grow unto a perfect man" is not the work of a day. One of the most sensible and practical of spiritual writers—Thomas a Kempel—consideres it a great feat to root out one vice a year. It is only by prudent and long-continued exercise that the athlete hardens his muscles and brings himself up to the state of perfect physical manhood. And even after he has reached that stage his work is not ended. If he would remain as he he must keep up his exercise, otherwise the muscles will eventually grow soft and flabby. So, too, with the growth of the spirit. To reach the heights of perfection constant exercise is needed—the heavy crosses, the SCRIPTURAL. A country vicar discovered not long ago that one of his male servants was in the habit of stealing his potatoes. Happening across the bishop, the vicar mentioned the matter, and asked his lordship's advice. "Well," replied the bishop, "of course you must remember what the Bible says, 'If any man takes away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.'" strong temptations, the severe afflictions that try men's souls and show the stuff they are made of. Such trials are to the soul what physical exercise is to the body. They are indispensable to its growth and maturity, and those who have not been subjected to them can scarcely be said to have arrived at any great perfection. As "our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against principul- ties and powers, against the rulers of the world of darkness"—in plain speech, not against men like ourselves but against invisible and superior demon- foes—we cannot reasonably hope to win out single-handed. We must have help from on high. Nor is that help ever wanting to those who ask for it. The Almighty "will never permit anyone to be tempted beyond his strength, but will always make with temptation issue that he may be able to bear it." The trouble with too many is that they expect too much from God and do too little of themselves. Grace does not do away with the necessity for personal effort. It is a help—a powerful help—but it will not do the whole work. AN EDUCATED MINISTRY IS VERY ESSENTIAL It is too late in the day to attempt to justify the education of the minister or indeed any other man, it matters not what his calling may be. Education is fundamental in all kinds of work. It would certainly be responsive to the needs of the people if the elementary subjects were placed within reach of all. Not only ought they be placed there, but those who are unwilling to take advantage of them ought to be forced to do so. Then this ought to be supplemented by about two years of industrial training with the design to place every man in position to make an honest living with his hands. When each has been thus equipped the state should regard its work as completed, but until it is done the state should be held responsible for at least a part of the failure of the laboring poor to make good. When it comes to higher training it is required that this is the work of philanthropy and private enterprise. As to the education of the ministry it is the duty of the church to see that it has educated men to do its work. In the case of negro churches the demand is imperative. As a general thing the church should not attempt to do any other kind of educational work until ample facilities have been created for the education of all needful workers. Indeed it is not prepared to go into any other kind of educational work until this is done. This has an obvious reason. The minister cannot look to any other source for training while the lay people are provided for by the state and the preparation which is made would be increased if it were found that there was an increased demand. As to higher education the field is already more than covered. It is asserted that out of all the colleges of the state there are not ten graduates a year, and there is a corresponding lack in the number enrolled in such schools. Should we ever get to a basis of this kind it is not going to be difficult to control the development and progress of all backward people in this country. THE GENTLE HINT. A north country collier, anxious to pop the question to a girl whom he honestly admired, but unable to sum up courage to ask her the question outright, adopted a method of sounding her as to her idea of matrimony. "Jenny, ma lass," he said, nervously, "Ah've insured my life." "Has ta, lad?" said Jenny, indifferently. "Ay, and Ab'm a silly for doing so." "How's that?" "Why, supposin' Ah get killed 't pit where dost t' think t' money go?" "Why, to thy feyther for sure." "True enuf, an' it isna fair. It ought to be, held, to ma wife." "To thy wife? Why, she hasn't got one!" "That's just it," said Bill; "but thou's a nice lass, Jenny, and I want thee to hev that money." "Why couldn't she say so at first! cried Jenny, joyfully—Tit-Bits. FALLING UP OUT OF A BALLOON If a man falls out of a rising aeroplane or balloon he will not go toward the earth, but will continue rising into the air for an appreciable time. If the air machine were stopped in its ascent at the time it could catch the man as he came down. If the airship were ascending at the rate of 32 feet a second the man would rise 16 feet before beginning to fall toward the earth. Thus, by reducing the speed of its ascent', the vessel might keep by the side of the man and rescue him. The reason why the man rises is the same as the reason for a bullet's rising when shot from a gun into the air—both the man and the bullet are given a velocity upward, and it take some time for gravity to negative that velocity.—Harper's Weekly. TOO WISE FOR THAT "Rogers, they say you've found a rich vein of gold on your plantation in the tropics. Are you developing it?" "I should say not! Do you suppose I want a gang of splay footed miners trampling down my young rubber trees?" "John, asked Mrs. Dorkins, "what is a 'political con game?' "What is a piece of "Oh shut up!

BUILDING THE LADDER BY WHICH WE RISE AN EDITORIAL FROM THE SOUTH- ERN LIFE MAGAZINE. Every individual of balanced mental powers has been guilty, times without number, of constructing before the mind's eye visions of what he hoped to see, at some future time, turned into a targible, existing reality. It is true that in retrospect the mind's castles in the air often appear both ludicrous and forerunners of every notable achievement mankind can claim to his credit. Though a weakness common to us all, yet are they like a common vantage ground upon which we gather together our forces and maneuver them for the impending struggle after achievement. It has ever been as is expressed in the scripture: "Your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions." He who dreams of success as a reward for his endeavors, is unwise if he fail to weave inseparably into his life those fundamental qualifications without which no goal of real success can be reached and held. Failing to possess these, all our dreams must be at last resolved into thin air, and bitter disappointment must shroud our meditations. The untutored as well as the enlightened can readily recognize these basic principles for fruitful endeavor; and wherever success of whatever kind has been attained, to a necessary degree have these qualifications been followed. There is no true and genuine success unaccompanied by the sanction of conscience, the outcome of honest dealing, "Honesty is the best policy" and it alone is fit to be the main one among the bottom rounds of the ladder leading upward to a career of genuine service. Practice it in dealing with others, and one will of necessity be fair with himself; and conversely, "To thine own self be true, and it must follow as the night the day—thou canst not then be false to any man." With its use one is doing unto others as he would have them do unto him. It will be the means of a man working unwatched. If generally practiced it will annihilate the ranks of the eve-servants. Patience and faith in one's plans and in one's self are two qualifications especially needful to the person striving to make a place for himself in the affairs of the world. There is many a bright prospect spelled by haste or impatience. To hold one's self under perfect control, especially during crucial periods; to wait with self-possession for the arrival of the psychological moment, requires the severest discipline. "Every thing comes to him who waits" while continuing to plug away, seems paradoxical, but it is nevertheless true. And through it all one must feel absolutely sure of himself, remembering that in his wonderfully constructed brain are countless billions of brain cells, each holding therein an idea by the use of which he or she may make further progress toward the goal sought to be reached. These make up indeed an inexhaustible store of power and means for the carrying out of a; purpose. A mother seeing in her promising son an inclination to work steadily, sought to impress upon him the necessity of holding himself unswervingly to a task until he had reached its completion. She ended her motherly instruction with the oft-repeated quotation: "A man diligent in business shall stand before kings." The trumism sank deep into his heart and brain. By the cultivation of this inclination, and being at all times thorough in everything he attempted, the deserving young fellow filled higher and still higher positions in his line of work until he had veritably come into touch with, and into the confidence of, some of the most prominent men of his section and time. The gift of continuity is one found today in too few men, young or advanced in years. The majority prefer to do a little at this and a little at that, starting a new task before the one in hand is completed, turning from one to another like a will-o-the-wisp, or a searcher for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The power of continuity will in almost every instance make up for a lack of genius. One of our country's most eminent and successful men has given it as his opinion that genius is hard work. He might have said hard work accompanied by continuity. It is just here that the will power needs to be brought into play with all the rigor possible. Tasks often become drudgelike; the interest may lag; something seemingly more inviting may attract and tend to lure one away from a duty; but the will, like the hand at the turning lathe, must be at such times brought into play with all its force to hold the worker to his tasks as the hand holds the chisel grimly to the wood. Patience, faith and the gift of persistence are rounds of extreme importance in the ladder by which we rise. "Heights by great men reached and kept." Were not attained by sudden flight; But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night." Cool, certain and accurate judgment is of vast importance at this stage of the climb. It need not be enlarged upon, as its place is readily understood. With honesty, patience, faith, continuous hard work, and good judg- If you have a sunny back porch which you want to screen off with vines why not try beans? The vines make rapid growth, if the seed is sown in rich soil, and the foliage remains glossy and handsome until frost, the vines also furnishing quantities of green beans for the table. Make the soil as rich as possible by adding well rotted manure, rich mold, etc. Plant the seed, eye down, in a perfectly straight row, the seeds be- ment, astounding achievements can be attained But without a working knowledge of human nature, much resistance is sure to be met with which will be difficult indeed for us to overcome. There is no science of human character. The man who says he knows men, or boys, or even women, but strengthens the Biblical assertion that "all men are liars." There is no more subtle or uncertain study than that which supposedly enable us to forecast how an individual will act under given conditions. Knowledge of it cannot be obtained in logical sequence from text books. Indeed, there are none on the subject. One must read the history of the race and of nations; pore over biographies of men and women; interpret it from the literature of all ages; keep up with current human event; then study the human specimen himself. It requires a lifetime of patient and keen observation to obtain a fairly reliable idea of human nature. Yet how important is an amount of this knowledge to him who must handle men or deal with them to a large degree in pursuing his life work. The earlier in youth the study is begun, the better the results to be obtained in steering clear of what is termed by sociologists "conflict" in the social order. Assume that he who would climb the ladder to the summit of success, possesses all the qualifications enumerated. Yet is he a failure at last if he has not formed such habits, upon an unassailable moral foundation, as will enable him to keep the height he his reached through long and patient struggle. "Man is a bunch of habits" says one. Let those habits be of the undesirable kind—licentiousness, extravagance, no sense of proportion and balance—and the otherwise successful person will after all come to grief. Desirable moral and economic habits will hold one to the rightful enjoyment of success. Of what good is the possession of a thing, however valuable, that one has not the power to hold or keep? As he climbs, there must be cultivated by the climber habits of sobriety, economy and of saving which will be his mainstay at the top. Let us, therefore, commend to the ambitious these necessary qualifications for the attainment and enjoyment of true success: Honesty, patience, faith, continuous hard work, good judgment, a knowledge of human nature, desirable habits. To the one who places in his ladder of life these essential rounds, will there come at last the joy of a life well spent—a life of usefulness to one's fellows; the joy of achievement against odds and opposition; a maintenance in old age, and the benediction of his fellows and his God. For—"Heaven is not reached at a single bound; But we build the ladder by which we rise. From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies. And we mount to its summit round by round." SPRING CLEANING. From attic to cellar is the old-fashioned rule for spring cleaning and usage has proven its wisdom. If the home is a flat the chimney should be swept and the ceiling whitewashed before the rooms are cleaned, otherwise the careful work of the housewife in the remaining rooms will avail little and the entire apartment will look grimy. Unless one is painting and paper-hanging spring cleaning is merely a thorough turning out of the rooms. If the housewife has put her dependence in the painter or paper hanging at the time of year when he wishes he had a dozen pairs of hands the turning out is likely to become something of a task. Unless one is moving there is little excuse for this cramping the painter for time when there is a whole year from which to choose. Besides, when he is so hurried he cannot do his best work. Dull and dirty paint can be rejuvenated by washing it in water with a little ammonia added. When it is thoroughly dry apply a coat of good enamel. This process is not expensive. It can be done by the home worker, and the results are sure to be satisfactory. Spolled wall paper may be dusted down thoroughly and rubbed with bread as a means of brightening it up a bit. THE LAST DOLLAR. Its something serious to spend your last dollar, especially foolish. An incident a few mornings ago brings back to my memory a case of uncalled for spending money. The scene is the following: A haggard, poorly-clad, worked-to-death colored woman standing around the jail-house door seeking freedom for a worthless, good-for-nothing son, who had been arrested upon a charge, most disgraceful, that could have been avoided. Those dollars their parents spend on them to live better in their declining years instead of throwing it away for fines. Let that worthless boy go to the chain gang several times and he will soon learn right from wrong.—Palestine Plaindealer. CLEAN COFFEE POTS. Physicians claim that the unclean coffee pot is one of the worst menaces to health. Housewives often neglect to keep the inside of the coffee pot as clean as the outside. The result is a decided loss in taste and aroma. The inside of the pot should be cleansed every day with powdered knife brick or fine sand. Then after a good scalding with boiling water, put it out for a sun and air bath. ing planted about four inches apart. Drive pegs into the ground at the ends of the rows and run small wires across from peg to peg. Run strings up from the wires to a convenient height on the porch, and train the vines up on these strings. Keep the plants well watered and cultivated, and they will completely shelter the porch, besides furnishing lots of "snap" beans for use. Of course, it need not be said that "pole" beans are the sort to plant.—Washington Star. The Sunday School Lesson Sunday School Lesson for June 25, 1911 REVIEW GOLDEN TEXT—"What doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?"—Michah 68. The lessons of the quarter cover a period of 184 years from 84 B. C. to 716 B. C. They are not in exact chronological order as will be seen by looking at the preceding notes. They are principally concerned with five prophets: Elisha, Joshua, Isaiah, Micah and Hosea; with four kings; Joash, Josiah, Hezzelah and Abaz; and with one queen, Athalian; two prophets, Jebubai and Azariah; and one queen, Ephraim; and only in the lessons. It would be well to have different scholars give an outline of the story of each prophet, king, queen, priest and general, and state the principal lessons to be learned from that life. It would be well to review topically, assigning to different scholars to find out what the lessons of the quarter teach about God, about sin, about salvation, about faith, about the Word of God, about worship, about backsliding, and about The lessons have so little direct connection with one another, and the books from which they are taken have been given to them. The lessons miss sort of way, that a satisfactory historical review, or review of a book as such, is impossible. All one can do is to seek to fasten the great outstanding lessons of history, and the lessons are excellent in themselves, but seem quite disconnected logically or historically, excepting that the prophets from whom some of the lessons are taken be taken from which the historical lessons are taken. CHRIST IN US. It is a great loss in every way that we are accustomed to speak of faith in Christ, forgiveness, and cleansing from sin as they were the crown and climax of Christianity, instead of being its outworks, its outer-courts, the staircases and corridors to its throneroom, its reparative processes preparatory to its essential life and heart, Christianity falls of its chief end in any life that it affects, unless it produces there, so far as may be possible, the life of the eternal God himself, as it is resident in Jesus Christ and communicated by the holy spirit. In regeneration, at whatever time it takes place, and under whatever circumstances, the principle of a new life is inserted in the human spirit. As the animal has a higher life than the plant, and as man, in his moral nature, has a higher life than the animal, the man who has been regenerated by the spirit of God has become possessed of a life to which the ordinary man can lay no claim. He has become, as the Apostle Peter puts it, "a partaker of the divine nature." Whatever be our difference as to creed or church, they are comparatively unimportant, so long as we possess within our spirits this divine life, which is Christ in us, the hope of glory, "Know ye not," said the apostle, as though it were an anomaly to be ignorant of this primal fact, "that Jesus Christ is in you, except we be reprobates?" The whole theme of redemption, the entire work of Jesus Christ, his birth in which he brought the divine under the condition of the human. His death by which he acquired power to pass it on, his resurrection and ascension through which he bore it regnant and triumphant to the throne, his gift of the holy spirit by which he makes it available to all who believe—all tend to this as their flower and fruit, that he should reproduce himself in us. And if year by year we are not becoming more pure and strong and Christ-like, we may gravely question whether we have not deceived our selves in thinking that we have received him into our nature—F. B. Meyer. YE DID IT UNTO ME Matthew 2:160 "What shall the Lord or O Lord? The kings that came of old Laid safely on Thy cradle rude The myrth and gems and gold. 'Thy martyrs gave their hearts' warm blood "Thou knowst of sweet and precious things There came a voice from heavenly heights: THE CARNA MIND The carnal mind is the embodiment of enmity—not merely at enmity—with God. Grace subagulates the carnal nature but does not destroy it. Sugar may counteract vinegar but does not change its nature. As long as the carnal mind exists it fights God and can not do otherwise—it is enmity and always will be. The only hope is in having it cast out. It can not be tamed nor educated; it must be destroyed—Thomas H. Nelson. IT'S YOUR CHANCE Say, brother, sister, that boy or girl you are now teaching may have the best teacher he or she may ever have; and it may be that you are the only person in the world that can ever lead them to Christ. Will you not pray earnestly that the Lord may help you do your duty?—Western Methodist. CHURCH'S SUPREME MISSION. To restore man to himself, to his place in nature, to society and to God was the comprehensive mission of the son of man, and it is the supreme mission of his church in the twentieth century. HUMILITY THE FIRST LESSON. Humility is the first lesson we learn from reflection, and self-distrust the first proof we give of having obtained a knowledge of ourselves.—Zimmer-man THE JAMAICA NEGRO (The following article is from the open of an educated West Indian.) In the midst of the chaos and confusion of the present state of affairs all over the world, I would like to assure my people that there is no special reason for us to be fearful. The gathering of the negro from all lands is going on steadily, and the meeting place is in these United States. Here the bitter association with the white man has compelled the black man to make forced marches towards a higher state of efficiency. Here we will take our bearings and compare notes. By looking up and down, the New York Age has found the keys to the Truth, locked up in the storehouses of Fact. One seldom hears, of a negro leaving the United States to become a resident of any other country. On the other hand thousands of black people from the West Indies, Africa and elsewhere are constantly flocking to the United States. Again, it is noteworthy that the colored people who come to the United States from Jamaica, almost without exception, are very intelligent, so far as the book goes. It is well known that in the island of Jamaica the negroes are provided with first-class schools, that they suffer under little or no race discrimination. Since they have good school facilities, equal civil and political rights with the white man, why is it that they leave a country where they enjoy the same opportunity to get an education that the white man enjoys, and the same opportunity to use all the conveniences of travel? These nuggets of truth, scattered broadcast by the New York Age, will energize black men in all lands and push them on to the zone of development. The negroes in distant lands are not slumbering, neither does the development of their cause stand still there. The Ethiopian fathers knew for centuries that the north temperate zone, inhabited by the redmen, would come in their possession after they have passed through great tribulation. It is 73 years since freedom was conceded to the Jamala negroes, and in the interval they have had an opportunity to evolve into a higher type. The government has been in the hands of whites, and the negroes have enjoyed a liberty of thought and action, a security from disturbing influences. Jamala may be taken as the best country for negro development. Some of the other countries may exhibit greater progress in certain aspects, but in none is there so complete a manifestation of all the phenomena associated with the development of a people. But notwithstanding all the great advantages in Jamaica and other countries of the tropics the still small voice is calling the Negro to the temperate zone, to be cooled down, developed, charged up with spiritual and natural energy, and then become the reserve force of the human family. The island of Jamaica has fulfilled her task as the temporary zone of development. The Jamaica Baptist Missionary society and other churches have done wonders for the enormous mass of black humanity in Africa for over 50 years. There are of value as a contribution to the great cause, but the American negro and all other negroes who may enter this zone, must remember that his duty to God and his fellowmen cannot be placed on somebody else. Silver and gold were offered as payment for negro freedom in the British empire. Here in these United States the blood of our fathers paid the cost for negro freedom. The time has now arrived when this question should receive some serious consideration. On all hands difficulties are springing up in connection with the blacks. Re-enforcements are coming in daily to strengthen the whites. These people from continental Europe know nothing about the blood of our fathers in the soil of this great country, and in their ignorance they hate us without a cause. With few exceptions, the negro from other countries never reports at headquarters for service. WE DO NOT READ ENOUGH. During this modern age, since the invention of the printing press and the circulation of books, these accessories of knowledge have been extended throughout the world; with railroads, steamboats and other ways of travel and dispatch to facilitate these knowledge spreaders and enlighteners in reaching the most remote and secluded homes, yet there are thousands of us who are neglecting this opportunity. A book or newspaper is not known around some of our homes—these who know nothing of the world, only that small scope in their immediate surroundings. This is a negligence that is doing much harm to the race. WISHING THEM A SAFE VOYAGE, "Mabel and George, after much quarreling over the arrangements for their honeymoon, have decided to take the trip in an airship." "Well, I trust that when they get above the clouds they won't have a falling out!"—Widow. TO CLEAN OIL PAINTINGS. Oil paintings, if the surface is not badly cracked, may be cleaned by washing with a soft rag wring damp paint. If the surface is badly stained in a little manner may be used.

If the tears rolling down his vast expanse of cheek fall to make you laugh, you know where the river is. AT THE DOOR. "Yes, my mind is made up. Tonight I shall ask her to be my wife. B-by Jove, I h-hope she's out!"—Woman's Home Companion. Practical Fashions GIRL'S DRESS. 4892 In this, as in most dresses for little girls, the real foundation lines are simple. The small illustration shows the dress untrimmed. It has a plain panel front, formed by tucks which extend from the shoulders to the belt in both front and back. The skirt also has a panel front and the rest of it is gathered and attached to the waist at the belt. The ornamental part of this waist is found in the handsome bertha collar, which is cut out in square outline on the inside, but which has the edge of the outside shaped in fancy outline, with a tab down the center of the front. In making this dress any material, such as chevot, serge, challis, linen, plaque, ponge silk, gingham, etc., may be used and a collar of衣 or allover embroidery or of silk of contrasting color will be effective. The pattern (4892) is cut in sizes 6 to 12 years. Medium size requires 4% yards of 24 inch material. To procure this pattern send 10 cents to *Pattern Department,* of this paper.

The gypsy moth is a European pest which was accidentally introduced into Massachusetts nearly 40 years ago, and has since spread rather slowly, being still confined to the eastern part of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, the southern part of New Hampshire, and to more or less isolated localities in eastern Connecticut and southwestern Maine. The presence of this insect was first discovered in Boston in 1899, and the state of Massachusetts for a number of years kept up a vigorous effort to exterminate the insect, making large appropriations therefor. This work was abandoned, however, in 1900, but the conditions soon became so bad that appropriations were again made in 1905, and have since been continued annually. In spite of the work of that state the situation became so serious that the national government practically on the ground of the great danger that these pests would soon spread to other states, was called upon to assist, and since 1907 congress has been making annual appropriations to aid in the work of control. The amount of this appropriation is now $300,000 annually.—Farmers' Bulletin No. 453
