TWENTY-NINTH YEAR. NO. 3. Lovely White Hats 9 IN VONTON DIERE EST TRUSTITA TWENTY-NINTH Lovely W THIS is the whitest of white summers, and everywhere the preponderance of white gowns makes a background against which millinery is displayed to the very best advantage. The greater number of hats are white also, but not entirely. Plume-laden or flower-laden, they are adorned with exquisite colors. Pink, in the coral, sea-shell and other delicate tones; blue in the matter and other grayish tints; illac, rose, green and cerise, are favorites, and, just at the hour, yellow has put in an appearance. In any large gathering of women, out for the summer evening, these colors, in the liveliest of shades are scattered in a sea of white. For the entire costume, from shoes to chapeau, of the great majority is colorless, except for the trimmings on the hats. Two very beautiful white hats are pictured here, which illustrate very clearly the foregoing. The small hat in white hair braid is decorated with a band of gray net on which a pattern in white beads is wrought. The When a Quantity Is Required, as for a Picnic, Try the Following Method. The picnic season—hence the sandwich season—is at hand. When quantities of these unfailing requisites are required, try the following plan and see how easily this trying work can be done: Cut the crusts from a loaf of bread with four strokes of a sharp knife—front, back and sides, then cut the crustless loaf in half, butter each half where you cut the loaf, slice piece of bread from each half, put in filling and the slices will exactly fit. Proceed, cutting one slice from each side of loaf. Wrap in waxed paper, and you will have dainty, symmetrical sandwiches when the luncheon basket is opened. Place a napkin around the top of the pineapple, give it a twist, and the stem is removed. Lay pineapple on a board and with a sharp knife (silver is preferable) cut into slices. Pare each slice as you would an apple. This dainty dress is of white batiste elaborately trimmed with swiss embroidery and valenciennes lace. The skirt is plaited; the blouse forms a sort of corset and the girdle is of ribbon fastened at the side with a cockade and long genda. This dainty dress is of white batiste elaborately trimmed with swiss embroidery and valenciennes lace. The skirt is plaited; the blouse forms a sort of corset and the girdle is of ribbon fastened at the side with a cockade and long guda. transparency of the braid and delicacy of the net are adorable for midsummer wear. Two flat rosettes simulate roses full blown and are made of a light weight ribbon in a wonderful shade of pink. The rosettes are joined by a bride of ribbon. A rich hat in white hemp is covered with a plateau of princess lace which is fastened down with a twist of wide nattier blue ribbon having a highly lustrous surface. Small blown garden roses with foliage and some mossy stems, provide the touch of color here. Nearly half the plateau of face is folded both from the left side and tacked to the crown, leaving the hemp braid uncovered. Scarfs of white down and down with ostrich border finish the midsummer toilet, providing more warmth than one would imagine. In fact, they are quite equal to protecting the throat, even when their wearers are out until the "wee sma" hours," which are the coldest of the twenty-four. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Have Achieved a Popularity Almost as great as Has Come to the Black. Almost as popular as the black sailor or hat is the one of brown straw, or its close kin, that of burnt straw. It is especially well liked for wear with the popular brown linen suit—for brown seems to be having quite a vogue this season. Newest, of course, are the small sailor with the large head size, the small or medium sized brim and the rather high crown. These are somewhat trying to many types of women, but look exceedingly well on the girls who are "tailbish" enough to don them. On the black and dark brown hats white bands are the most approved and fashionable style, while the burnt straw hats are encircled by bands of darker brown. And the smartest hats, of course, are those of the extreme straws—either very rough or quite smooth and fine. Changcable Taffeta Garments. Not many are yet seen, but they are expected to have a great run a little later on. One reason why they are not yet more in evidence is undoubtedly because of the price of the French chiffon qualities of which they are made. From $2.50 to $3.50 per yard is asked in the retail shops for these new taffetas. By another season domestic manufacturers will have popular-priced lines, but if one desires an exclusive silk gown for the present summer she should invest in one of changeable chiffon taffeta. Striped Coat Set Fine muslin, chiffon cloth, and marquiseette are all used to make collar and cuff sets for short jackets. These, with evelet embroidered batiste, have taken the place of Irish lace, which seems at a discount these days. The striped coat sets are in any color that one wishes, not necessarily to match the suit. The collar is quite long, deep at the back, and finished with an edge of cluny lace or a hem of colored muslin or linen to match the stripe. Of Fascinating Quaintness. Frock of white cacmeire de sole with peachblow satin stripes. The simply designed bodice has a finely plaited fichu drapery of Malines lace, finished at the top of the wide apricot velvet girdle by a rose of pale pink chiffon. The slightly gathered skirt is quaiatly trimmed with three narrow ruches of white taffeta. Vogue. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. NEGRO OFFICER UPLIFTS RACE GRACE CAMPBELL, SUCCESSFUL PROBATION APPOINTEE AT NEW YORK, DECLARES GIRLS' DE- VELOPMENT AND RECLAMA- TION IS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT MENTAL TRAINING —WHITE OR BLACK ALL ARE HUMAN. Grace Campbell is her name, and at the criminal courts building she is known as one of the most success- ful probation officers. She is the first and only one of her race, and she has attracted a great deal of attention by her work in the Tombs. "Miss Campbell is doing fine work here, and there isn't any one who won't respond to her sympathy. She is an ideal disciplinarian." This is Probation Officer D. E Kimball's tribute to her feminine coworker. When I saw Miss Campbell at the National League for the Protection of Colored Women she explained how she had been drawn to the work through her interest in kindergarten teaching in Chicago and Washington. Like her father and mother, Miss Campbell was a graduate of the Howard university, at Washington. Her father is a minister and was born in British West Indies. Her mother was a Washington woman. Miss Campbell has large, soft, brown eyes and a quantity of black hair. It is her eyes that make the most eloquent appeal, although her soft, well-modulated voice is almost as persuasive. "Do you think there is any difference in the attitude of the colorful girl and the white girl, when you appeal to them to reform?" I inquired. "No," she replied, "I think human nature is the same, no matter what the color of the skin. I consider that mental deficiency is one of the greatest causes of crime in all races. I believe that there ought to be schools for the mentally deficient, where the nature of the defect might be studied, as well as the possibility of educating the delinquents in some work that would appeal to them and thus make useful citizens of them, instead of treating them as criminals and exposing them to further temptation in institutions. "The most stubborn cases, I find, respond to sympathy and the proper kind of discipline. Investigation shows that the colored girl is very often a victim of an employment agent who has lured her from her southern home with promises of plenty of work. The girl, flattered by these assurances, leaves her home with little or no money, few clothes and absolutely destitute of experience. She reaches the big city peniless, and has no place to go. Of course the lure of the north for southern colored woman is just the same for the southern white woman who hopes to obtain employment here. "But where there is protection for the white girl there is not so much for the negro. The National League for the Protection of Colored Women first of all tries to prevent the colored woman from coming north, but then if she has made the mistake and arrives here we try to find a place for her as soon as we possibly can. My work at the docks puts me in touch with many of these girls, for I am not at the court the whole day. "I know that the temptations of these innocent colored girls from rural districts are great. The lost address to a friend or a decent lodging house is one source of a girl's downfall. She must be properly sheltered the first night she arrives in the city, or perhaps an agent, seeking girls for purposes of which the victims are ignorant, come into possession of them and then follows the life of misery and disgrace. "The girls who find their way to the night courts are often the victims of these spurious employment agents. If they can only be reached in time a few words will put them on the right road. We find proper lodgings for them and legitimate work is supplied by the league, which has associations in Philadelphia, New York, Memphis and Baltimore. The same good work is done in these other cities. "The majority of people forget that the colored race is not naturally vicious or shiftless, but that lack of proper training and the fact that they have been so long oppressed militates against their development."—Viola Justin in New York Daily Ma.1. LEGS BAR TO PEANUT SELLING BONHAM, TEXAS, MAKES DOUBLE AMPUTATION VENDING QUALIFICATION. Bonham, Texas.—The city council has just passed an ordinance providing that no one may sell peanuts on the street of Bonham until he has suffered the amputation of both legs. The purpose of the ordinance is to permit an aged negro, who has lost both legs to "freeze out" all able-bodied competitors in the peanut-selling line. THE CACTUS, NOT THE VINE, "The clinging type of girls is disappearing," she said. "Yes," he replied, "modern woman, with her numerous hatpins, is more like a cactus than a vine." FURNISS MAY BE RETAINED IN HAITI STATE DEPARTMENT SAY8 FURNISS HAS MADE A FINE RECORD IN HAITI. Washington, D. C.—It is announced at the White House that President Taft has definitely decided to retain Minister Henry W. Furniss, of Indianapolis, Ind., as our representative in Haiti. The president has reached this decision not only because of the strong desire of prominent colored people throughout the country that Dr. Furniss be retained, but especially because the young man has made such a fine record in Haiti as a diplomat, statesmen, and master of the large public questions that the people in New York, Chicago, Boston and all of the great metropolitan centers of the United States, as well as those residing in Haiti, who have financial interests involved, are practically unanimous in their demand that Minister Furniss remain at his post at Port au Prince. He has assisted American commerce in various legitimate ways, and at the same time has helped the Haitian people by placing them in touch with HENRY W. FURNISS. the latest and best productions of the mills and factories of this country, and has preserved the spirit of fraternity between the two republics in the face of many trying ordeals. It is very encouraging to note that the president has recognized the worth of Minister Furniss in this signal manner, and that he has been so gracious in the matter of following the wishes of those most interested in the welfare of Haiti. Minister Furniss has been at all times in hearty accord with the broad and far-reaching policies of Secretary Knox, and the state department says that he has made a super record in Hatti, contending that it would be an injustice to sever his connection with the diplomatic service of the nation at any time in the near future, in view of the very excellent reasons why he should remain in the field where he has been so useful. ARNST REGARDED AS "WHITE HOPE." New York.—The real live "white hope" that has a possible chance to defeat Jack Johnson for the title of heavyweight champion of the world is Richard Arnst, the champion sculler of the world. At least Australians are planning their faith to Arust, and are predicting, now that he has entered the list as a boxer, that he will fulfill all promises and wrest the title from its present holder. Arnest recently accepted favorably the suggestions by many Australians that he take up boxing and become a claimist for the title. He has started training, although he is an adept with the gloves. It was the showing he made in private and his powerful physique that caused Australians to regard him favorably as a possible heavyweight champion. He weighs 196 pounds. Before becoming champion sculler of the world and beating all the best oarsmen brought against him, Arnst was a bicycle rider. It was while riding the wheel that he developed his great muscles and gained much of the endurance which later stood him. In stead as an oarsman. IS THIS TRUE? If a ten-pound fish is put into a tub of water, does that add ten pounds to the vessel and its contents? Let George M. Myers, some fisherman, answer that question. "Your first inclination is to answer yes," says Myers, "but do not be too fast. Yes is the correct answer only when the fish touches the side of the tub. When the fish floats clear of the sides the vessel and its contents weigh just what it did before the fish was put in." Several mine owners here recently bet a large sum on this question—Kansas City Star. FEDERATION OF VIRGINIA COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS WORTHY ORGANIZATION FORMULATED PLANS THAT WILL RESULT IN MUCH GOOD TO THE RACE IN VIRGINIA. Roanoke, Va.—The Federation of Colored Women's Clubs of Virginia held its annual meeting at Roanoke, Va., and formulated many plans that will result in much good to the race in Virginia. These ladies are determined to have a state industrial home school for colored girls of tender years, who are so fortunate as to fall into the hands of law, and by this means keep them from the jails and the state penitentiary. The members are firm believers in doing all in their power to lift up the fallen before appealing to the general public. They have been signally successful in their efforts, and deserve to be complimented for their activity along this line. The Roanoke Times has the following to say about the meeting: "Colored women from various cities of Virginia, including Richmond, Lynchburg, Norfolk, Petersburg, and Portsmouth, are meeting in the High Street Baptist church in Roanoke this week to discuss and form plans for the advancement of the negro race. Many subjects of interest are being discussed and yesterday six hundred dollars was subscribed to a fund for the establishment of an institution for rescue work. It has been said that God helps bhm who helps himself. The individual, the community or the race, satisfied with conditions and content to depend upon others for progress, usually will either stand or deteriorate. Self help is necessary to growth, mental, physical and spiritual, and the fact that colored people of Virginia and the south are recognizing this principle, may be regarded as a most encouraging indication. When members of the race work for themselves and are anxious to keep pace with the march of civilization, results can be expected. Coming into close touch with each other and being in position to teach and to advise their people as to what will best contribute to their welfare, philanthropic and educational organizations among them should find a fruitful field of labor and be able to accomplish much good. In these efforts they will have the sympathy and earnest cooperation of all citizens who are interested in their country and anxious to see it attain to the highest development." FOR LAWLESSNESS New York.—"I have been in many corners of the world, but Haldi is the most lawless country I ever saw." This is the summing up of the situation in Port au Prince given by Captain Willey Arens, the German officer who brought the mysterious Haltien cruiser, Consul Grostuck, across the ocean on her recent trip from Italy. On his arrival in New York Captain Arens said positively that General Cipriano Castro had not been either one of the crew or a passenger on the Consul Grostuck on the voyage from Italy. "The voyage of the Consul Grostuck, with her leaky boilers, is one I shall not soon forget," he said. "The ship was in awful shape. Her funnels were rusted away at their base and her guns were well-nigh useless. "When, at last, the steamship was delivered to President Simon four salutes were fired and since then the guns have not been used. As the ammunition lies exposed to the heat of a tropical sun, it would not be surprising if a premature explosion blew the ship out of the water. The funnels are uncovered and everything is rusting. The city of au Prince is full of knaves and thieves. I was attacked, robbed and nearly killed in the public square and afterwards never left the hotel." HUBERT NAMED PRESIDENT Jackson, Miss.—In keeping with its policy of turning its large negro schools over to the management of negroes as soon as practicable, the American Baptist Home society has recently named Prof. Z. T. Hubert, of Atlanta, president of Jackson college, located at this place. This fact, together with the installation of Prof. John Hope as president of Atlanta Baptist college, and the turning over of the new Roger Williams university to negroes gives the society a warmer place in the hearts of the colored people of the south. Prof. Hubert, who is one of the most advanced representatives of the young educated negro, succeeds Dr. Luther G. Barrett, who was president for seventeen years. By his coming, an all-negro faculty will be in charge of the work of Jackson college. The new president was born and reared in Georgia, and understands thoroughly the economic and educational needs of his people. He is an alumnus of Atlanta Baptist college, the Massachusetts Agricultural college and Boston university. HIS IDEA OF ECONOMY.

MISSISSIPPI LEAGUE HOLDS MEETING Colored Delegates Made Welcome by the Citizens of Natchez. DR. A. W. DUMAS MADE WELCOMING ADDRESS FOR COLORED CITIZENS OF NATCHEZ. Natchez, Miss.—The Mississippi Negro Business league has just closed its seventh annual session, which will go down in history as the best session held. The good people of Natchez, both white and colored, left nothing undone to make every one feel welcome and at home. The officers and members of the local league, headed by Prof. S. H. C. Owens, the popular president of the Natchez college, had everything ready and in perfect order to give the delegates and visitors a swell time, and every one went away with words of praise for Natchez and her good people, and wondering whether they will get such treatment another year in Yazoo City, Miss. Dr. A. W. Dumas, one of the leading colored doctors of the south, made the welcome address on the part of the citizens, and Prof. S. H. C. Owens on the part of the local league. Responses to the welcome address were made by Prof. L. J. Rowan of Alcorn and Rev. A. A. Casey, D. D. of Mound Bayou, Miss, and Dr. Walker, of Indianola, Miss. Mr. Banks then complimented the delegates and visitors and thanked Hon. Chas. Stewart and Hon. Horace Slater and Rev. John W. Cook for being present to publish the doings of the league. There were men and women of all walks in life present to do honor to the league, mingling one with another, the banker, the merchant, the lawyer, the doctor, the preacher, the editor and the plain old farmer, which made a great crowd of leading citizens and business men. The many speeches and addresses that were made gave new life to the negro business man and woman, and by the popularity and high esteem in which Hon. John L. Webb is held by the members of the league, they accepted an invitation to go to Yazoo City, Miss., in 1912, where Mr. Webb promised a real nice time and where every one will be treated nice and made comfortable. DR. JACKSON MAKES DISCOVERY ATTRACTING ATTENTION IN MEDICAL CIRCLES BY DECLARING HE HAS CURE FOR RHEUMAISM—NEW YORK MEDICAL JOURNAL COMMENTS ON NEGRO SURGEON'S FINDINGS. Philadelphia, Pa.-Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, the well-known surgeon of this city and head of the Mercy Hospital, is attracting attention in medical circles by announcing that he has discovered a cure for acute articular rheumatism, and in the current number of the New York Medical Journal tells of his experiments and findings. Dr. Jackson refers in his article to five cases which turned out satisfactorily under his method of treatment. In commenting on Dr. Jackson's discovery the New York Medical Journal says in part: "There are few young practitioners who have not had the chagrin of imagining, at one time or another, that they had accomplished a cure in some long-standing case by the exhibition of some recent and well-advertised remedy, only to see their patients sink back into their former condition after a few days or weeks. The treatment, however, of rheumatic fever described in the issue of the Journal by Dr. Algernon Brashear Jackson, and for which he is careful not to claim too much, has nothing mysterious or magical in its nature. Our readers will join us in the hope that the hypodermic administration of magnesium sulphate will prove in this wretched disease, if not a specific, at least sufficiently analgetic and eliminant to give comfort to thousands. In speaking of his discovery Dr. Jackson says that his article in the Medical Journal is a preliminary report and that he hopes in the near future to present to the public a more careful study of his method for curing rheumatism. QUOTATION FROM THACKERAY. This is from "The Newcomes," when Ethel and Clive, separated by his marriage and other things, happen to be in the same hall, when Barnes is lecturing: "Of course she knew that Clive was present. She was aware of him as she entered the hall; saw him at the very first moment; saw nothing but him. I dare say, though her eyes were shut and her head was turned now toward her mother, and now bent down on her little niece's golden curls. And the past and its dear histories, and youth and its hopes and passions and tones and looks forever echoing in the heart, and present in the memory—these, no doubt, poor Clive saw and heard as he looked across the great gulf of time, and parting and grief, and beheld the woman he had loved for many years." SOUTHERN PLOUGHMAN SCENTS DANGER IN HOLDING MEET- INGS AT CHURCH THAT LAST LATE INTO THE NIGHT. We have already suggested that the average night service during revivals is too long. This running the service to a very late hour makes the preju- dice against night meetings all the greater. A line which we learned years ago comes to our mind just at this point, which will perhaps cover the ground of all we had intended to say. We think it comes from a noted author in hymn writing: "Temption and danger walk forth with the night." There is a rowdy and careless element among the young—and old, too, for that matter—especially in the communities where there is little or no law protection, who follow up all night gatherings for the express purpose of committing mischief. While the meeting is in progress, just a few yards away, concealed (?) from the view of the church officers, is a dean of gamblers. If not that, the "blind tiger" is at its best, and one evil after another is committed right in sight and hearing of what is, or ought to be, the most sacred place on earth. While the church is not responsible for the veil, yet it is responsible for late services, which furnish a better opportunity for evil-doers to carry out their evil designs. There is another evil equally alarming, if not more so. People all the way from 15 to 90 years of age are in attendance at these night meetings, almost every night, but, as a rule, the children under 10 years of age are not there. Where are they? Certainly their fathers and mothers are there, and feel that they are dutybound to be there. So they came and left the children at home exposed to danger and intrusion. How often we read of the father and mother going to church leaving the children locked up in the house, and sometimes it turns out that the house takes fire? But the horror of having a child burned to death will lightly compare with the regret of having one led astray while both father and mother are at church half the night for eight or ten nights in succession. But these are facts and conditions that will come under one's observation in almost every community. Another evil in conducting revivals is that of calling mourners to the bench to be prayed for, and when the poor mourners kneel a great crowd of sympathizers sometimes gather around them, however hot the weather or uncomfortable the position, to sing and yell over them for the sake of excitement. Then some brother will pray a long prayer for which, before he is through, he will ask the Lord to forgive him. We have known preachers to run revivals for the purpose principally of getting a good collection by the time the meeting is ready to come to an end. Think of the motive! Preachers sometimes run revivals simply to get a big membership in his church. It is not so much the saving of men as it is a great membership. The result is that a great number of members are taken into the church unsaved who will naturally prove a burden in the work and government of the church.—Southern Ploughman. MARRIAGE IN THE CONGO A wife in the Congo region costs $10. This sum is paid to the parents of the girl or to the man who owns her as his slave. The girl seldom has any voice in the matter. Sometimes, however, the couple wishing to be married make their own bargain, and then this is an interesting business. The young man seeks to meet the darling of his dreams. But how and where are the questions that worry and puzzle him? Often he takes refuge in the home of the evangelist, and gets him to write a note for him. He then goes out, cuts a stick and splits it at the top, puts the letter in the split and hurries to get a carrier. When it is delivered he stands around to see how it is received. If it is favorably received a nice pot of food is cooked and sent to him. The parties are then considered engaged. A man can have as many wives as he can buy. I saw one man, a king, who had forty. The marriage feast is a ceremonial affair with the heathen. if the groom is wealthy all of the drums, horns, bells, musicians and dancing masters are hired to do the bride honor. All of the luxuries of the tropics, according to the native ideas, are in evidence at the feast. I have known them to have a hundred pots of food at a single wedding supper.—Southern Workman. SHE CAUGHT HIM A girl, recently riding in a street car, was annoyed and made curious. Seated opposite her was a man afflicted with crossed eyes. The girl was pretty and knew it. She knew, too—or thought she knew—that all men on the car were looking at her. That is what annoyed her. She was in doubt as to whether the cross-eyed man's gaze was fastened on her. That is why she was curious. He may have been reading the advertisements over her head; he may have been looking at the conductor on the rear platform. To satisfy her curiosity the girl yawned. The act is as contagious as the measles. She found out the man was looking at her. For he yawned, too—New York Tribune.

Just think of ita tract of land, in ‘the center of Tulare county, the moth- ‘er county ‘of San Joaauin valley, 1s ‘a Colored colony divided into town- lots and farming lands, comprising ‘the Allensworth townsite devoted ex- clusively. to the promotion of Ne- groes’ interests. ‘There is an easy payment plan that permits ihe small pald wage earner as well as the high- ersalaried professional man, (0, pro- cure a home, a farm, or both. ‘Town- ots sell trom $100 to $200. Inclusive, ‘at $5 down and $5 per month. ‘The farm lands are $110 per acre, in two and a half, five and ten acre farms: for a five acre farm $10 down and $10 per month. You cannot afford to pass up an offer like this, Your money in the bank is not as secure as. this, neither does it pay as well, as an in: Vestmient, Aside from all other con- siderations ‘the Allensworth propos! tion Is yours—protect it, promote It, and you will prosper.

Bookwalter interests, from drowning in Buck creek Monday afternoon, The boy was sailing a toy boat in the creek when the string that held it to shore broke and the breeze quickly wafted the craft down stream, ‘The Ind waded in without hesitation to gain possession of ‘the boat and just as he caught hold of it found himself in beyond his depth. His cries for help brought Miller, who was work. ing near by, to his rescue. The lat- ter dived into the creek from the bank and swam to the lad, bringing bim to shore. He then went back to work and the boy went home. Monday evening when Police Judge Miller heard of the incident he ordered the release of the Afro-American, Just as the trusty (Miller) was being told of his good fortune by the turnkey, Lamar Dalle, father of the lad he had resculed, came into the prison, asked for Miller and handed him $56.

Perhaps we cannot do better on this mid-July Sunday than meditate on the love of God for us all. Nothing sustains a wanderer from home, nothing gives him strength to put up with inconveniences and to bear fatigue or really enables him to interest himself in the objects and occurrences around him, more than the knowledge of the love of those he left behind him. Nothing imparts to our lives here on earth in all their phases and vicissitudes, in all their aims and interests the peace that comforts, the spirit that impels the strength that upholds as well as the influences that permeate—more than the abiding consciousness of God's love for each and every one of us. The sweetest sentiments and the most lasting agencies and the most powerful incentives of childhood days—the thing that brought us then the deepest joy and caused us not to know what care and trouble were, or inspired us with all the trust and confidence that children have—came from the love which we instinctively felt that our parents had for us. The efforts made to learn and to do, the courage oft to take the initiative in many ways, and, not less, the undisturbed sleep and the absence of fear and timidity resulted from the same conviction. So in our mature years and older state must a similar condition exist from the knowledge of an actual, ever-present, overshadowing all-comprehending love—the love of God above. He who knows not God's love is lonely and weak indeed. He walks the earth as they might walk who find themselves in sunless, pathless, darksome jungles. The universe has no magnificence, or glory, or power for him; and the world possesses no beauty, attraction or joyousness. Everywhere he goes, he meets no infinite friendship to delight him, no power strong enough to uplift him and no peace deep enough to enthrall him. In all the ways of life he will be the victim of discontent or despair, of anxious foreboding or anguished fears, of troubled misgivings or trenchant disappointment. On the contrary, when we are imbued with a sense of that love, the hardest things will become easy, the darkest days will be bright; no poverty or misfortune will destroy the peace of our souls or the joy of our hearts. We cast all our cares on him, and we know he will not fail. Just as children who, in times of trial and trouble, crying from hunger, nestle closely on the bosoms of those that love them—unconsciously feeling that parental love will provide. God loves us, beyond a doubt, each and every one, low and high, unfortunate and fortunate, sinner and saint. Christ assures us and Christ is God. "God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten son." "Christ loved us and delivered himself for us." On one occasion, when our blessed Saviour was teaching his apostles how BURYING THEIR DEAD --- From the days of the earliest civilization it has been the business, as well as the disposition, of men to give considerable time and attention to the burying of their dead. There is nothing improper about this save the fact that it is often done to the serious neglect of the living. God who is "not the God of the dead, but of the living," has clearly revealed to us that our greatest mission is to the living. True it is that the dead are to be buried, and it is nothing out of harmony with the eternal fitness of things to lay them away decently. Memorial occasions are not out of place, and as far as it is practicable, monuments should be built in honor of the dead. Hero-warship is a commendable instinct in human nature. "When hero-warship dies the gods are soon forget, and when monuments cease to be reared, attails will soon be overthrown." But the practice in subordinating the care of the dead is by no means of divine origin. Observation has convinced us that too much time and attention, as well as money, are given to preparations for the dead. We are for their convinced that it more of our time and means were devoted to the living fewer would be the dead to be cared for. A dollar in medicine would often save $50 in burial expenses. Men are so inclined to neglect the living that they are virtually dead to the higher purposes of life, and their minds become absorbed in things pertaining to the dead. This inclination on the part of men is aptly portrayed in a line from Shakespeare which reads: "Come not when I am dead to drop the foolish tears upon my grave." Health and the things conducive to it are considerations only of those who are alive with the spirit of helpfulness and uplift. They are truly "the dead" who lay no stress on the things which concern the living, and they constitute an organized majority whose chief glory is found in "burying the dead." Though living, they are dead; and though dead, they yet speak the living truth that the "dead" are still "burying their dead." -Southern Ploughman. TWO POINTS OF VIEW. Nice discrimination would be required to decide which is the presumist and which the optimist in the appended war reminiscence. During one of the battle of Murfreesboro a group of wounded womens was huddled about a field hospital, waiting surgical attention, when a big bullet hit them, with a bullet in his left leg and another in his right arm, hobbled up, holding his wounded arm in his left hand. "Doc," he drawled, "the Johnites to pray and in whose name they should offer their prayers, he said: "I do not say that I will ask the father for you, for the father himself loveth you." The whole purpose of Christ's coming and the trend of his every deed was to show us and to convince us of heaven's love and care of us all. The Christian idea is of a God—good, kind, beneficent, merciful; and repudiates the thought of him as a Moloch, burning children in a fiery furnace, or a Saturn devouring his own offspring. He gave the earth to men for their use and enjoyment, and he has entrusted his angels with the charge of us that they bear us up, lest we dash our feet against a stone. He imprinted his own image in us, granted us intelligence and life and destined us to unending happiness. God is love. We must not allege, in opposition, or emphasize the evil that encompasses us, or the misfortunes that overtake us; for what we suffer is usually of our own doing. God, in his love and goodness, made us right and we have married his work and introduced discord where he placed order and harmony. He gave us free-will, and we would not have it otherwise; from the use or rather abuse of the free-will come the miseries and bitterness of which we complain. Even personal and individual sorrows we trace to actions for which we are responsible. Whatever afflicts us disproves not that God loves us. Children will hurt themselves in spite of great love and tender solicitude; willful sons and wayward daughters will be plunged into disaster and distress though the best of care and attention have been bestowed on them; but the parents' love prevails and can be counted on for the healing of the wounds, the assuaging of the griefs and the bringing back to health and strength. God cannot prevent the sins I commit, or binder my injustices, or destroy the consequences of my unwise choice and imprudent course; his, power will not override my independence and willfulness; but he loves me all the same, and wills that I be converted and live. He loves me—and I shall not fear any darkness, for he will make it light. He loves me, and I shall not indulge any excessive sadness at my mishaps, for he will turn my sorrow into joy. I shall not worry or be troubled; I shall not dread even death, for he will raise me up to life. Let due acknowledgment be rendered him in grateful praise and faithful service. He will still be God and his love for mankind still endure; our neglect or indifference may not mean anything to his essential nature and intrinsic happiness. But it means a great deal to us. Unfilled and undutiful conduct on the part of a child may not destroy or alter a father's and a mother's love or make them less sensitive to its welfare and good, yet failure to remember and to return that love will result in shame and dishonor to the child. God may not need us, but we need him; and unless we be impressed with his love for us and give him just return for the same, we shall suffer loss indeed, even in our self-respect. AN IMPROVEMENT. Husband—How do you like your new girl? Wife—Well, she works me a little harder than the last one, but she is more respectful. PROFANITY IN FICTION The protuse use of profanity, the Bookman says, is not merely inartic; it stamps unmistakably the beginner and the ineffectual workman. Profanity in fiction is at times not only excusable but necessary. In the hands of the master, who will employ it with wise economy, it is a kind of reserve force, a battalion of the old guard, to be held strongly in leash and to be released only at the vital moment. For example, in a memorable chapter of "Vanity Fair" Lord Steyne is bullying the women of his household, who have objected to the presence of Mrs. Rawdon Crawley at Gaunt House. "This house," he cries, "this temple of virtue, belongs to me, and if I choose to invite all Bedlam here, or all Newgate, by God, they shall be welcome!" Here the oath is inevitable. It gives the final touch and brings to the reader the desired thrill. But had Thackeray wasted it by distributing it freely and unnecessarily in preceding paragraphs it would have failed utterly of its point. Again, in George Du Maurier's "Peter Ibbetson" we can recall just one oath, but that we shall never forget. It is held back until the great moment of the story and then let loose with hurd and terrible effect. THE CARES OF BUSINESS. The old storekeeper down in the country, who gave up keeping Turkey red because the women insisted on buying all he had as fast as he got it, must be related to the New Hampshire merchant. There was nothing he liked so well to do as to lie back in an old armchair on the elm shaded porch of his store and whittle a green willow stick. One very hot afternoon, just as he got his jacknife out, a boy appeared on the scene with a gallon jug. "Can I get a gallon of molasses?" he inquired. "Oh, hum!" growled the storekeeper, showing considerable temper. "Confound it! Nobody else in town's got molasses to sell but me, I suppose." With this stinging rebuke he went in and filled the Jug—Boston Globe. came pretty near hitting me." Another fellow blowing blood copiously from his nose, the point of which had been shot off, promptly interposed: "Doctor, the rascals"—sputter—"came near"—another blow and sputter—"missing me." If it were required, the little republic of Switzerland could put into the field a well equipped army of 200,000 men, and this could be done in ten days' time. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 1911 THE SUPERIOR ETHIOPIAN New Discoveries in Art Show the Ethiopians to Be Far Superior to Latter-Day Egyptians. The gem of the exhibition at Burlington House of the antiquities discovered by Professor Garsiang during his last winter's work at Merge, according to the excavator, is a bronze head which he regards as representing Germanicus. It is twice the size of life, and furnished with eyes of alabaster, with inlaid pupils and iris of colored glass, and eyelashes of bronze. The strong lines of the face and the small but projecting ears show much character; but there seems little reason for its attribution to Germanicus, the passage in Tacitus on which Professor Garsang relles merely stating that Germanicus went on a tour in Egypt to see the antiquities and sailed up the Nile as far as Assuan. That he ever made his way above the catacacts there is no evidence; and Strabo, who probably wrote in the lifetime of Germanicus, speaks of the Roman garrison of three cohorts, "and those not complete," being stationed only at Assuan or Syene, where they formed a sufficient guard to the upper country. It is therefore unlikely that Germanicus as a mere tourist, traveling, as Tacitus tells us, without the permission of Tiberius, should have the permission to the city of the Ethiopians at all, still more so that he should have appeared to them so important a personage as to deserve a statue. It is more likely that the head formed part of the plunder obtained by the Ethiopians when they raided Syene in the time of Augustus "and threw down the statues of Caesar." Most of the iconic statues of that time had detachable heads, and this one might easily have been taken away by them as a fetish, and as such hidden from the punitive expedition of Petronius. The other exhibits, when taken with those of last year, afford a clear idea of the scope and nature of Ethiopian art, which it is now plain must have been largely indigenous, and owed less than was supposed to Egyptian influence. The pottery here shown is of a ware perfectly different from anything in Egypt, and it is notable that all the larger vessels are evidently modeled from gourds and other vegetable forms, instead of, as in the earlier Egyptian types, from baskets and ivories. Their construction displays high technical skill, and a young negro's head in sandstone, if it is indeed of native work, shows that the Ethiopians were in sculpture far superior to the Egyptians of any but the earliest dynasites. Some neolithic implements, axes, and the like, of polished stone, show too that their civilization was of considerable antiquity, and some beautifully shaped arrow heads either of glass or translucent stones, are longer, narrower and more delicate than any yet found in Egypt. Nevertheless the Ethiopians must have looked toward Egypt from a very early date, and there are in the present exhibition a cylinder seal of protodynastic pattern, scarabs and jewels of Amenhotep III, and Queen Thyli, and a large figure of the god Bes, of typically Egyptian execution. One wonders whether these too are not lost from one of the raids which the Ethiopians made from time to time into the Nile valley during the periods of weakness of the central power; but there is also plenty of proof that at a later date or, particularly, within the last millennium B. C., the worship of the Egyptian gods, especially Amen and the deities of the Osiris cycle, was taken into Meroe, and probably grafted on to some existing native cult. The new faith seems to have been associated here with many cruel and savage practices unknown further north, including, according to Professor Garstang, human sacrifices. The scenes here shown from the walls of the Meroetic temples, which depict prisoners being goaded and dragged to execution, and a small clay figure of one having his feet tied to the back of his neck in a position to which the "frog's march" must be a relief, reveal a thoroughly African delight in cruelty for its own sake. Equally African is a large piece of pottery with a slightly concave top and a central opening, which is described on the label attached as a bottle, but is evidently a low stool like those used by the Ashanti chiefs or cacaoeers at Coomassie and elsewhere. Among the smaller objects shown we note a beautiful cameo with a pair of galloping horses, black and white respectively, some good and unusual beads and some curious molds of pottery. One of the last is for making the sacred ankh, and another for an emblem which is supiciously like a true lover's knot. What the substance was that was poured into these vessels remains a puzzle, as the pottery, which is not particularly well baked, would probably not have stood the heat of molten metal. A stela discovered on a former occasion by Professor Garstang, in which the ankh was represented by a hole, may possibly have been connected with these and makes one wonder whether the castings were not made in some perishable substance, such as wax. But in this case, what was the symbolism involved? There is, of course, the possibility that the molds were used for the baking of cakes or loaves but their relatively large size militates somewhat against this view. The strictly historical inscriptions here shown include several corticouches of King Mer-ka-Ra, whose other name seems to have been Aspalut, and King catch-kai-Ra, named Horon, catch-kai-Ra, Horus or Horus an appear, to have been discovered, and BOOKER T. WASHINGTON AT HIS SUMMER HOME. Dr. Booker T. Washington, the head of the great Tuskegee Institute and famous the country and world over as the century's greatest educator is resting quietly on Long Island Sound at his summer home which he ought this summer. This summer home of Dr. Washington is beautifully located on the Sound commanding an elegant and picturesque view of the famous river front. Dr. Washington is sur- It is evident therefore that the Ethiopian kings only imitated the royal protocol of intitulature of Egypt in part. Lastly there were discovered within in the ruins of one of the royal palaces some pottery jars containing gold dust and nuggets to the value of about £1,700. It is suggested that this formed part of the royal hoards stolen from the treasury and hidden by the thieves. Another explanation would be that it was concealed by its lawful owner when Meroe was taken and sacked, as Professor Sayce has shown by Ta-zena, king of Axum, in the fifth century of our era—The Athenaeum. RACE BUILDING THERE SHOULD, BE A CLOSER UNION AMONG NEGROES ALONG ALL BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL LINES. The salvation of the American Negro is in his own hands. It is useless for him not to attempt to rise to enmine educationally and financially unless he does it himself. If one would improve his own household he must do it by individual energy. So it is with the race. There should be a closer union among Negroes along all business and professional lines. In order to help the race upward we should purchase what we need from Negro merchants, and get our professional work done by Negro professional men. We should patronize Negro banks—for they are just as secure as any others—all are liable to failures. In whatever community the Negro has gotten together it is in that place we find the greatest success. We must learn to be self-helpers. We contribute largely toward enriching other races and leave ours to struggle. Let us bend our energies toward race building and put ourselves on record as being helpers instead of hinders. In many respects we are responsible for many of the shortcomings, and it is for us to improve upon our disadvantages. The love of race must be instilled and stimulated in the young and it cannot fail to produce the most gratifying results in the business endeavors of the race. In bringing about good results the duty of business and professional men of the race toward their customers, clients and patients cannot be overlooked. We admit that both sides expect lenience and indulgence when neither should be allowed. Let every Negro business and professional man furnish the articles, and render the service, and then use the methods used by men who furnish the standards. We live in a section where there are great possibilities for the race, provided the opportunities offered us are used in the right direction. Dr. Booker T. Washington in his speech at the commencement of Wilberforce university brought out many facts in regard to the advantages possessed by the southern Negro.—Richmond Reformer. "MAN FARTHEST DOWN" COMMENTS ON THE SERIES OF ARTICLES BY BOOKER T. WASHINGTON NOW AP- PEARING IN THE OUTLOOK. Interesting, instructive and logically, graphically portrayed are the series of articles that are being published from the pen of Dr. Booker T. Washington in The Outlook Magazine each week. The subject the past week is "Life and Labor on the Continent," and consists of the personal observation of the doctor, as to the conditions of the natives as witnessed during his late European trip. From the information gained the Negroes of this country have much to gain and nothing to lose by following and obeying and emulating those progressive principles that are being taught to progressive Negroes throughout the land, by the recognized leader of the black race, Dr. Booker T. Washington.—Providence (R, I.) Advocate. If there is one thing which one gathers from Dr. Washington's articles which may be regarded as the mainstay of social progress and betterment, it is the possession of the land, and freedom in the control of it and one's self. These conditions do not seem to exist anywhere in Europe to the same extent that they are found in America. Large land holders who control the life and destiny of the laboring people are found everywhere and it is possible that this alone is responsible for much of the stagnation of European society. The Negro has none of these conditions to contend with except in a few scattered localities. As a rule he can buy a small farm and remain in the secure possession of it. This very opportunity would be highly prized by the laboring millions across the sea. Dr. Washington's articles ought to open the eyes of the Negro to the priceless privileges offered by the color-blind south—Durham (N. C.) Reformer. ISAIAH AND LUNCH COUNTER Fogg remarks that they must have had railroad lunch counters in Isaiah's time, for we read in that prophet's writings: "And he shall snatch on the right hand and be hungry, and he shall eat on the left hand and then not be satisfied. rounded by his happy family, which includes Mrs. Washington, and the rest of them.

Golden Text. "—Blessed are are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil aging you falsely, for my mack." Saint. 5: 111 Jeremiah 37: 42-1 Commit. v. 15. Jeremiah 37: 42-1 C. to 588 B. C. PLACE —Jerusalem EXPOSITION.—I. Jehovah's word to Jermiah concerning the temporary departure of the Chaldeans from Jerusalem, 4-10. Zedekiah has many followers who inquire what God's Word is, but do not follow it when they find it. Zedekiah and his people were deceiving themselves with false hopes (v. 9), but God's Word was sure and their hopes were vain (vs. 8, 10). Whatever temporary calamity might overtake the Chaldeans, their ultimate victory was sure, for God had predicted it (v. 10). It may have seemed impossible for the people to believe that a God of love would permit the city of his choice to be burned with fire, but in point of fact it was burned with fire. God's predictions of punishment upon the rebels are true no matter how impossible it may seem to us to reconcile them with the doctrine that God is love. PECULIARLY GIFTED "I don't know what I'm ever going to make of that son of mine," complained a prominent Cleveland business man the other day, says the Plain Dealer. The old chap is self-made, a graduate of hard knocks and all that, and it naturally grieves him to have a son who is not aggressive. "Maybe your son hasn't found himself yet," we consolled. "Isn't he gifted in any way?" "Gifted?" I should say he is. He ain't got a darned thing that wasn't given to him." A LUCKY FELLOW. Mrs. Jinks—What do you think? A thief shot at Mrs. Bingle while she was sitting in her room, and the bullet lodged in a ball of yarn which she was winding. Mr. Jinks—Well! well! Bingle is a lucky fellow, isn't he? Mrs. Jinks—I should say he was. Mr. Jinks—Yes, indeed. He has a wife who darns stockings. The average length of a moving picture film is 1,000 feet.

And there’s happiness in sight; But when Hope has fled and the skies are gray. And the friends of the past have turned away. Ah, then indeed it’s a hero’s feat To conjure a smile in the face of defeat. It’s easy to laugh when the storm is o’er, And your ship is safe in port; Yes, easy to laugh when you’re on the shore, Secure from the tempest’s sport; But when wild waves wash o’er the deep deck. And your gallant ship is a battered wreck. Ah, that is the time when it’s well worth while To look in the face of defeat with a smile. It’s easy to laugh when the battle’s fought. And you know that the victory’s won; Yes, easy to laugh when the prize you sought Is yours when the race is run; But here’s to the man who can laugh with the blast Of adversity blaws, he will conquer at last. A FEW THOUGHTS. If no one read our papers But just some certain folk I'd write a little article That wouldn't be a joke. But as our papers are popular And go from town to town. I'll only make a few remarks And put the pencil down. Now why don't some these people That have so much to say About our country people Come out and spend a day. They would find that there's a difference In talking in the shade Than hoeing corn and cotton And transplanting tater blades. Of course it might be easy To say "Go to the Farm" But where's the fertilizer? And how about the ground? We've waited for the longest For some of you town folk To come out in the country If you think its any joke. But we've noticed you're clever Its much nicer in the shade Than hoeing cotton in the sun Or transplanting tater blades. Lizzie Hopkins Lewis. THE FIRST LOVE. Vividly now come to mind Youthful joys not far behind: When my thoughts of love were pure Nothing being then unsure. Sense had taught me then to choose one of my own. As my future bride and wife 'Oer my kingdom,' 'Oer my life.' Early in our biblical past, Grew our love in that good time Being able true and pure Winning her, I thought was sure; Hence I struggled with my art Morning, noon and night, to start Wife the teacher, to teach Then to call her as my wife. Years of happy days we saw Yielding joys without a flaw. That was the best of the day. Came to earth from far above Just to move dear Jessie Bell, Whom I loved so truly well, In a land I know not where. Sure I cannot rest here. -Jas P. Mgwood. POSSIBILITY. Earnestly what we desire, Truthfully what we admire. None are things we cannot gain. By enduring care and pain. Surely God delights to see, Every soul sincerely be. Striving for a worthy prize Then in life to higher rise. Failures come when faith we lack, Striving in the doubleer's track Where the light of hope is pale Nothing reigns, inspiring life's sail. Alms fall not of motives true, Deeds too great we cannot do; Yet the wisest ones for man Throng the paths he daily scan. MAKING USE OF IT. "There is no use giving you a check, my dear. My bank account is overdrawn." "Well, give it to me anyway, George. And, say, make it for $500.

I used to be very forgetful, and could not remember half the time where I had put things around the house. Finally I hit upon this scheme. I live in the upper flat of a two-family house, and there are just eight rooms in our flat. I got a big white sheet of paper, and wrote on it the names of the eight rooms, and beside the name of each room I wrote the name of a certain place in that room. I decided that every time I put anything out of my hands for a minute I would put it in the place beside the name of that room on the paper. The paper I tacked up in a conspicuous place in my own room. By using this system I always knew just where to look for things, and after a little while I got so in the habit of putting things in certain places and of remembering where I put them that I no longer needed the paper-Harper's Bazar. Lawyers Predominate. The new congressional directory shows that more than 65 per cent of the number of those in the national lawmaking body are lawyers. Attorneys outnumber all others in the senate more than two to one, there being 64 to 27. The predominance of lawyers is not quite so marked in the house, the percentage there being 63, or 244 attorneys. The conditions reported in congress are very similar to those found in most legislatures. The Minnesota senate, for example, includes 25 lawyers in a total membership of 63, and 19 of the 119 members of the house are attorneys. Couldn't Interest Him The Ark had been out forty days and time was hanging heavy on Noah's hands. "If I only had something to read," sighed the patriarch, "I'd give half of the menagerie for almost any kind of reading matter." "Have you read all the books in the library?" asked Mrs. Noah. "Yes, I've read 'em all but one." "What's the matter with the one you haven't read?" Noah sighed in a bored manner. "It's a treatise on dry farming," he replied.
