It is the croc HAVE A SYSTEM IN MENDING COAT Will Save Much Time and Trouble. and Carments Will Be in Order When Required. Materiel Ch There is nothing on earth like system, and nowhere do you realize this more than in matters of dress. The tiny hole in your stocking that you might have mended in two minutes grows into an undarnable "run," the rip under the arm in your new blouse extends alarmingly; nothing that must be mended stays "where it is put." The remedy for all this is a regular mending day or a regular mending evening if you are a business woman. As soon as a garment needs mending if it be only a button or a hook that must be replaced, put it aside unless it is so necessary that you must attend to the trouble at once, and when mending day rolls around do the required sewing. You will be surprised to find how much lighter your work becomes when you can thus catch rents and tears at their start instead of at their disastrous finish. The other point to remember is to always have your sewing implements where you can get them and in perfect order. Do not wait until the very moment for mending to find that you are out of white thread or that your needles are rusty. When a thing needs repairing, repair it; when it needs replacing, replace it. It might even be well to have a "preparation" day to antedate the mending one. Light gray serge is used for the costume we show here. The skirt has an added piece at lower part of sides and back, which is piped at top withilk of a little darker shade; the buttons are covered with the same silk. The coat has an added piece to match skirt. The right front wraps over in a point and is fixed with press studs; the cord ornaments being for trimming only. Gray Tagal hat, trimmed with cerise ribbon Normandy Needle. A special needle, called a Normandy needle, is necessary for one of the new kinds of hand work—punch, it is called—used on table linen or gowns. The needle, being large, pushes the threads to one side, much the same as in the Bermuda fagoting. The pattern, in this way, is worked out in a series of holes. The Greeks have long done work of this sort on hand woven linen, which is most beautiful. Punch embroidery is effective, too, on marquisette, chiffon or volle.

THE GAZETTE COATS OF ALL DESCRIPTIONS Materials and Designs So Varied That Choice Is Made Something of a Difficulty. A very jaunty model for a young girl is a coat of wool diagonal, which comes in brown and white, and gray and white mixtures, with blalc cuffs and button-trimmed sailor collar. It is piped with braid. Another practical junior coat is made of a novel diagonal mixture, in tan, gray and brown combination. It is semi-fitted, and has a large round sailor collar. The collar and cuffs are trimmed with plaid cloth. A good looking coat for misses or small women is made of all wool navy diagonal, with a large round collar and deep cuffs, trimmed with bands of tan or Copenhagen chevot. A woman's coat of heavy blanket coating comes in a variety of colors. It has a large convertible round sailor collar which will button high at the neck, as well as with turndown collar. The collar and cuffs are inlaid with contrasting color broadcloth. An extra bag to match goes with this coat. An attractive,model is made of a good quality of gray and brown mixture. The large round sailor collar and turnback cuffs are inlaid with good quality velvet. A good looking coat is made of reversible cloth in combinations of gray and coronation purple, or blue and tan. It has the new set in sleeve. The cuffs are made of reverse of material, and the deep shawl collar and large patch pockets are inlaid with reverse of material. Novel Emery Bags. That useful little article of the sewing and embroidery bag which first appeared in the strawberry form, can be bought at up-to-date counters in several other shapes, among them being the thornberry, grape and chestnut. By this it can be seen that almost any bag, no matter how elaborate the basket, no matter how expensive, can have an emery bag to match it. A needle worked through this tiny object will have many minutes of vexation endeavor in drawing the needle through the obstreperous silks and the thicker linens. Many bags have a complement of the whole gamut. New Ideas In Negligees. Fashion's latest decree is to use two thicknesses of messaline or thin silk, white for the outside and a delicate color underneath. They are separately made and are only caught together at the hems. They are elusive in their shadings and are trimmed with five ruffles of five-inch footing. The neck is pointed in the front and the back. The sleeves are rather loose and ruffled from the elbow to the shoulder with the footing. From the point at the back of the neck there is a square bow of the silk edged with footing. Leaf green under white makes an exquisite combination. Silk Stockings. First, buy them large, maybe a full size, larger than you may wear in a cotton or lile stocking; next, darn loosely the heel and toe and places for garter catches—all before wearing the stockings. This prevents holes from appearing in heel and toe and the knee from having "runners." Rinse out in cold water after each wearing and the stocking will last two or three times longer than when these precautions are not taken—L. S. W. in Harper's Weekly.

PLAN MUCH ACTIVE WORK CONSOLIDATION OF ORGANIZATIONS MARKS NEW DEPARTURE IN SOCIAL WORK—OFFICERS OF NEW LEAGUE. New York City—Three organizations which have been doing a great work in the interest of the negroes of Greater New York, namely, the Committee for Improving the Industrial Conditions of Negroes in New York, the National League for the Protection of Colored Women, and the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, consolidated with a view to doing more constructive work, and formed what will be known as the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. The organization of the new league marks a new departure in social work among negroes as well as in the entire community. This is the first time that a number of social agencies have gotten together with a definite aim of uniting their work and preventing overlapping and duplication. It is also the first time that such organization have come together to make a consolidated appeal to the community for financial support. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes will not only act as a clearing house for information, but will superintend and direct in a general way the work of the different organizations under its direction. The objects of the league are to promote and to carry on constructive and preventive social work, for improving the social and economic conditions among negroes in urban centers; to bring about co-ordination and co-operation among existing agencies among negroes in urban centers to develop other agencies where necessary; to secure and train negro social workers, and to make such studies in cities as may be required for the carrying out of the objects of the league. The membership of the league consists of equal representation from the membership of the three organizations. The officers are: Prof. E. R. A. Selligman, chairman; Dr. Wm. L. Bulkley, Mrs. Wm. H. Baldwin, Jr., and Jacob W. Mack, vice-chairman; Edward W. Pratt, secretary; A. S. Frissell, treasurer; L. Hollingsworth Wood, assistant treasurer. The executive committee are: Paul D. Cravath, Prof. Felix Adler and Miss Frances A. Kellor, from the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes; Dr. E. P. Roberts, Mrs. E. B. Leaf and Mrs. Haley Fiske, from the National League for the Protection of Colored Women; the Rev. Wm. H. Brooks, Abraham Leckowitz and the Rev. S. H. Bishop, from the Committee for Improving the Industrial Condition of Negroes in New York. The members of the finance committee are: The chairman, secretary treasurer and assistant treasurer, ex-officio; V. Everit Macy, Fred R. Moore and Dr. Wm. Jay Schieffell. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes is not only a local committee. Already branches are being organized in various cities throughout the country, which will be under the general direction of the new National League. The object of these committees in other cities will be to do work similar to that done by the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, which has been in existence in New York city for about one year. This new movement toward the consolidation of the negro activities in New York and other large cities is the outgrowth of the work of the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, which was organized largely through the efforts of Mrs. Wm. H.Baldwin, Jr., the latter part of 1910. The work of the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes during the past year has been peculiarly successful. In addition to bringing about the organization of the new league, it has made a preliminary survey of the Harlem district, which has resulted in a local movement among the colored residents for improvement. The committee is also conducting the work of the Central Bureau of Negro Fresh Agencies and has supervised and directed all the fresh air work among negroes in New York city during the last summer. The committee also conducted a model camp for colored boys at Manville, L. I., and a playground was established in Harlem. One of the most interesting parts of the committee's work, which will be continued under the national league, is the work done in economics and social science at Fisk university. This work has been conducted with great success by Prof. Geo. E. Haynes, and the students have not only been given academic work, but practical work in the community as well. This year there has been established two graduate fellowships under the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, and two students, one a graduate of Fisk university and the other of Atlanta Bipist college, are studying at the New York School of Philanthropy and Columbia university, The National League for the Prevention of Colored Women has been doing a growing and important work in the community. Stations of the league have been established at Norfolk, Philadelphia, Memphis, Baltimore and New York, where travelers are met and aided. At Philadelphia the league has established its own lodging house. It also keeps a list of reliable employment agencies to which people seeking employment are referred. Several amusement clubs for young women have been established. The Committee of Improving the Industrial Condition of Negroes in New York, which is one of the older organizations working among negroes, has continued through its committee and officers to carry on work which has for its object the bettering of the industrial conditions among negroes in New York city. It is promoting toward education, facilities for finding employment for negro artisans and for the promotion of social work among the negro communities in the city. The membership of the executive committee of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes is representative of all points of view and various sections of both the white and colored communities. The remaining membership of the new national league will be chosen by the executive committee already elected. With such representative membership, the success of this new movement seems almost assured. IROQUOIS CLUB ELECTION JAMES LEWIS, JR., CHOSEN PRESIDENT—RESOILUTIONS ADOPTED LAUDING WORK OF W. L. COHEN. New Orleans, La.—At the annual election of officers of the Iroquois club, the following officers were elected: James Lewis, Jr., president; J. Madison Vance, first vice-president; Dr. L. B. Landry, second vice-president; E. O. Moss, third vice-president; Ed Barnes, recording secretary, defeating R. J. Maurise; C. J. Reeves, financial secretary; Dr. J. A. Hardin, treasurer; members of governing committee, Joseph Cavalier, Z. A. Cohn, Jordan Cavalier, Theo. Evans, John Alberts, Dr. E. Vincent, J. E. Hobbs and E. M. Holland. At a recent meeting of the club called to nominate officers in conformity with the recommendations of the special committee on reorganization, of which Attorney J. M. Vance was chairman, the following resolution offered by Ed Barnes, was unanimously adopted: "Whereas, Hon. W. L. Cohen, president of the club for twelve successive terms of one year each, or as can be said since its organization down to the present, has declared his inability to further serve the club in that high office, and in view of the fact that his splendid executive ability, coupled with the valuable services he has rendered were largely instrumental in advancing the club and proved a potent factor in its existence to this time, there by manifesting a devotion that none will gainis; and "Whereas, After more than a decade of faithful and honest service volunteered and put forth to maintain and continue the wide reputation this club enjoys abroad, it is meet and proper that we should express our regrets that his pressing business affairs compels him to relinquish the throttle and commit it to the hands of others; therefore, be it "Resolved, That the Iroquois club in meeting assembled on this date reiterates the abiding faith and confidence it has repossed and still reposes in W. L. Cohen, its retiring president, and places the highest estimate on the services and sacrifices he rendered unselfishly for the club's uplift. "Resolved, Further, That as a mark of esteem to Hon. W. L. Cohen, who now descends from his office to take a place in the ranks of active workers—"The Men Behind the Gun," carrying with him the good will and wishes of the members, the club endorses the proposition to confer on him as a token of appreciation of his real worth, the exceptional distinction of honorary life member; and that his name and the proposed title be placed accordingly on the ballot along with the officers and members of the governing committee to be voted for, and so that each qualified voter may register his approval to so elect Hon. W. L. Cohen the words "For and Against" shall be printed on said ballot." WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY FOR CONGO REGION Berlin, Germany.—An ambitious venture with wireless telegraphy is about to be tried by the German government in the colony of German East Africa. At present that colony is without a direct cable connection with Germany and uses a British line. The government is planning a continuation to Kamerun of the telegraph line recently carried down the Moroccan coast to connect with the new Bramarian-German cable. It is further planned to send wireless messages across the vast Congo wilderness to Central East Africa. The central station in that colony will be erected at Tabora, which lies about 175 miles south of Lake Victoria. It is about 2,500 miles from Kamerun station, and a specially powerful equipment will be required. The authorities apparently entertain no doubt as to the success of the undertaking, and they even expect to make substantial reductions in the cost of cabling to East Africa.

MANAGERS RESPONSIBLE HOTEL MANAGERS' ASSOCIATION FORMS AGREEMENT TO REPLACE COLORED HELP WITH WHITE. New York City.—Since September nearly one hundred colored waiters and bellman have been thrown out of employment in several of the large hotels and restaurants in New York city and their places filled by whites. The discharge of colored help and the employment of whites has been going on with such frequency for the past two months that an investigation of hotel conditions was made and it was discovered that the wholesale discharge of colored waiters and bellman has been brought about at the instance of the Hotel Men's association. The members of the association have shown an unwillingness to discuss the subject, although one white head bellman, who only a few days ago went to work with a new force at one of the large hotels, supplanting colored bellmen, admitted that he was in his new position thanks to the Hotel Men's association. Colored hotel men view the present situation with unconcealed alarm, and do not hesitate to say that something must be done at once or the colored waiters and bellmen will be out of the white hotels and restaurants in New York city altogether. There are quite a number of bellmen and waiters now idle, the number having been increased last week when two more hotels discharged their colored help. The men were greatly surprised when given notice that their services were no longer required, and were unaware of the agreement that had been reached by the Hotel Men's association to get rid of all colored help in favor of white. It is said that at a meeting of hotel men held in August a resolution was adopted declaring that any hotel in New York employing colored waiters, etc., was not considered first class. Since then it has been noticeable that almost every week has brought about the dismissal of colored waiters and bellmen from some hostelry. The attention of the various associations in New York organized to promote the industrial welfare of the negroes of this city has been called to the turning out of colored help in the different hotels, and steps will be begun this week by such organizations as the Committee for Improving the Industrial Conditions of Negroes in New York and the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes to bring about more favorable conditions for the colored hotel men. NORMANDY NUGGETS STONES THAT FIND THEIR WAY INTO THE MOUTHS OF MANY PEOPLE. It is a far cry from "the lonely stretches of the wave kissed shore" to false teeth, but by unexpected paths we often descend abruptly from the sublime to the utilitarian. Many a man calmly chewing an indestructible steak in America little dreams that the picturesque coast of Normandy has been sacrificed to provide him with molars. Such is the painful fact, however. If you walk along the southern shore of the English channel between Dieppe and Havre you will see men and boys searching for stones of a certain size and shape from a varied collection of rocks which form the beach. These are put into sacks and shipped to America, where they are converted into porcelain. The industry—for such is the term used to designate this invigorating occupation—has grown to considerable proportions in the past few years. Its simplicity is perhaps its greatest charm. Having once learned the kind of stone you are looking for, all that is required of you is to pick it up. If you do this steadily and uncomplainingly for several hours you will be sure to fill a sack. Then all you have to do is fling it jauntily over your shoulder, run across the bowlers to the superintendent and demand one franc. With this wealth in your pocket you can then sit down and look dreamily over the water while you allow your imagination full play. You seem to see the stones after a long voyage across the Atlantic being slowly rescued from their rude state. Bit by bit they are dragged from their primitive nothingness up to the heights of twentieth century porcelain. They are then shaped, polished, mounted on a gold plovet—but why go into it? It is too painful—Minneapolis Bellman. DISCOURAGING OUTLOOK. "In the Cumberland mountains of East Tennessee," the Hon. "Bob" Taylor says, 'a good coon dog is considered a valuable asset. "A visitor once asked a native, Bill Smoon, how many dogs he had. "A ain't got but five,' said Bill, dejectedly. 'Looks like I never ktn gitt a start on dogs agin.'"—Lippincott's. ```markdown ``` BISHOP SMITH HONORED HONORARY DEGREE CONFERRED ON HIM BY VICTORIA UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO—ADDRESS8 ON "THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN." Toronto, Can.—While In Toronto Bishop C. S. Smith of the A. M. E. church was awarded an honorary degree by the Victoria university. The occasion marked the first time in the history of Canada that a university of this country conferred such an honor on a negro. In his address at the Ecumenical conference on "The Brotherhood of Man," Bishop Smith stated that there exists too much exaltation of race superiority and too little exaltation of life and spirit purpose of the Lord Jesus Christ. He said in part: "I wish to speak of the spirit that should possess the propagandist of the Christian religion as he goes out among the non-Christian races. What is the Christ spirit? What is the Christ idea of the brotherhood of man, his idea as it relates to the commonwealth of mankind? If the propagandist of the Christian religion goes out among the non-Christian races asserting the spirit of race superiority, he finds himself at once handicapped. And from my observation in foreign fields I am frank to confess, though I do it regrettably, that at least in many instances, there is too much exaltation of race superiority and too little exaltation of the life and spirit and purpose of the Lord Jesus Christ. "Point to a single utterance of the master wherein he boasted of his racial lineage, wherein he emphasized or laid stress upon the mere incident of race superiority. I say 'the mere incident' because there are four things for which no man is responsible—of whom he was born, when he was born, where he was born, and how he was born. I know that there is no lack of stressing the idea of the fatherhood of God and the sonship of Christ. But there is a weoful lacking of stressing the brotherhood of man—not as white men, not as black men, not as yellow men, not as red men, not as brown men, but as men. "Now, I postulate that if the brotherhood of man is not one of the cardinal and fundamental teachings of the New Testament, then the whole scheme of the Christian religion is but a cunningly devised fable, the agony of Calvary the echo of a deceiving dream, and the reputed vicarious death of Christ a more figment of the imagination. Jesus said: 'If I be lifted up I will draw all men unto me. All ye are brethren. Love one another, even as I have loved you. Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.' And unless the brotherhood of man is brought into realization here the apocalyptic vision never becomes a reality—the vision wherein John saw a number that no man could number gathered together out of every tribe and tongue under heaven; and when the inquiry was made, 'Who are these?' the answer was not white men, not black men, not yellow men, not red men, not brown men. No, but 'these are they who have come up through great tribulation and have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb.' In the counties of Kent and Sussex in England there are to be seen certain curious well-like excavations, popularly supposed to date from the time of Danish rule in England. These are invariably about three feet in diameter, and seldom less than sixty feet in depth. Ingress and egress were provided for by means of rude ladders and hide ropes. Various explanations have been offered to account for their existence, some supposing them to have been places of refuge, others that they were connected with secret forms of worship, still others that they were dug for the extraction of chalk and flint. The latest theory inclines to the view that the holes were made to serve as granaries. They are found close together in groups, corresponding with the habit of various tribes of clustering in restricted areas.—Harper's Weekly. William the Conqueror was a man of very gross habit of body and at the siege of Mantes was hurt by the rearing of his horse, the pommel of the saddle striking the king in the abdomen and causing injuries from which he died in a few days. Before his death he was deserted by all his attendants, who stole and carried off even the coverings of the bed on which he lay. The body remained on the floor of the room which the king died for two days before it was buried by charitable monks from a neighboring monastery. "I thought you told me this place was so healthy that nobody ever died here," objected the prospective purchaser to the real estate agent. "I did, and I'll stick to it." "I'll bet you will. You also told me that people in this suburb didn't have to pay grocery bills, because the ground raised their vegetables for the—" "I told you that, too." "How do you account for the fact that one of your prominent citizens died of starvation yesterday."" "That was a doctor." SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. USED WELLS AS GRANARIES? DESERTED AT THE END.

IN UNION THERE IS STRONGITY BOSTON MEMORIAL TO HARLAN PROJECTED BY BOSTON LITERARY RESOUTIONS IN HONOR OF THE GREATEST JUSTICE AND THE BEST FRIEND OF THE COLOR-ED RACE ADOPTED—REV. J. D. CORROTHERS PLEASES LARGE AUDIENCES WITH SPECIMENS OF HIS OWN POETRY AND HUMOROUS VERSES. Boston, Mass.—A meeting of the Boston Literary and Historical association was held in St. Mark's Congregational church last night, at which resolutions of sympathy on the death of Justice John M. Harlan of the United States Supreme court were adopted, copies of which will be sent to the family. The association voted to hold a meeting in commemoration of Justice Harlan in co-operation with the New England Suffrage league and the National Independent Political league. Rev. J. D. Corrothers of Haverhill read poems by Paul Laurence Dunbar and verses of his own composition, and there were solos by William H. Reed and Dr. J. H. Thompson. The Resolutions Adopted. The Resolutions Adopted. "The Boston Literary and Historical association, seeing in the late Justice John Marsh Harlan the greatest jurist Marshall of the United States since his illustrious nameakes, Chief Justice John Marshall, and the greatest friend of freedom and equality of citizenship under the constitution ever on the Supreme court, hereby records its grief at the death of a noble champion of the rights of colored Americans and sends its heartfelt sympathy to the family of this defender of the republic, sharing their grief in this death which is an irreparable loss to a race of ten millions, who are proscribed and denied political freedom, because of color." The association voted to arrange a public memorial meeting to Justice Harlan, with the cooperation of the New England Suffrage league and the National Independent Political league. Rev. Congorsh, Reading. Rev. Corruthers' Headings. The meeting at St. Mark's church, 1042 Tremont street, was opened by President Trotter with prayer by the chaplain Wm. D. Johnson. Miss Haitie V. Macdonald, read the minutes, which were adopted. A note of appreciation for the late Justice Harlan was adopted, and a motion carried for a public memorial meeting by all libraries and the suffrage societies, etc. Several names were proposed for membership. Rev. Corruthers said he had not agreed to read Dunbarn, but his own poems and prose. He read a little of Dunbarn's and closed with his own poem on Dunbarn, to be published in part by the Century magazine. His poems were liberally applauded and his humorous writings kept the audience in convulsions of laughter. He made one of the most interesting nights ever held by any literary in Boston. A large audience was out to hear the gifted writer and poet. Mr. W. N. Reed sang as never before and was enclosed. His beautiful baritone voice caused regret that he follows Mr. Hodges in soon leaving Boston. Dr. J. H. Thompson's solo so pleased the audience he was greatly applauded and given an encore. PROFESSOR DUBOIS TALKS OF THE RECENT RACE CONGRESS New York—Dr. W. E. B. Dubois delivered a most E. W. interesting lecture at St. Mary's Lyceum on the Race congress, which was recently held in London. The lecture possibly contained nothing which has not already been published in various publications, that it was extremely interesting and not the least hit monotonous. As a rule, Doctor Dubois seldom makes his audience laugh. On this occasion, however, he produced laughter when he said that at one time scientists were wont to acclaim long heads a sign of highest civilization, such as Germans, etc., but when they found that the Zulus had the same kind of heads they were at sea again. The doctor says it is not so much a race problem as it is a social problem. The problem in Africa is simply one of labor and labor. In Morocco, capitalists against labor. The consensus of opinion of the leading scientists was that it is impossible to draw the line between races. The color of the skin is simply a matter of climate. In describing the suffragists parade which was 40,000 strong, eight miles long, the doctor took occasion to say that the greatest question that the country has to deal with today is "What are we going to do with the women?" The doctor's highest praise for all who took part in the congress, saying there was all harmony. The next meeting will be held in America. HE HAD A DIFFERENT RULE. J. Pitt Hardacre has recently been touring the country with East Lynne. "Funny things happen to us actors sometimes," said Mr. Hardacres. "This is what occurred to my friend, Tim last week: "A society belle from Bayswater went into the water at Blackport, wearing one of those fashionable transformations or wings. A big wave went up over her, and when she came up the transformation was floating to sea. She turned and ran to Tim. "Oh, save my hair!' she yelled. Save my hair!' "Pardon me, lady,' says Tim. 'I'm a life saver, not a hair restorer.'"—Human Life. One Year.....$1.50 Six Months.....1.00 Three Months......50 Subscribers are requested to mit by postoffice money or order or registered letter.

The man who suffers personal wrong without protest or opposition, the "peaceful" member of the community, is a demoralizing factor in our social fabric. The class that does not struggle for civic and industrial rights will eventually lapse into slavery. The nation that passively contenances encroachments upon its rights and territory is doomed to dismemberment and national bankruptcy. It is the man who defends his rights, the class that battles for political and industrial advancement, and the nation that holds its own against the entire world; it is the "litigious" person, the revolutionary class, and the vigilant nation, that keep the world from stagnation and force it onward on the path of progress. -Hillquit. THE TRUTH OUT AT LAST. Some time ago the American daily papers were busy explaining why Jack Johnson was not permitted to fight an English pugilist by the name of Wells, and whether they intended to do so or not, they explained why the Johnson-Jeffries fight pictures were barred in the south of this country and every effort made by that section to keep them from being exhibited even in the north. The plain fact was, in the case of England, that the spectacle of a Negro whipping a white man would give too much encouragement to the blacks of the English Provinces in several of which that country was and is having more or less trouble to keep them subjugated. The same thing is true in the case of the whites and our people of the South. Protests against permitting the Johnson-Wells fight in England were sent to that country from South Africa, where Colored men are denied the franchise just as they are in the south of this country, and kept in subjection to the whites in many similar ways. The fact that Bombardier Wells was a former British soldier and bears an army nickname, only served to complicate the matter all the more. In large parts of the British empire it is vital to the maintenance of existing conditions, without greatly increased expense and danger to the powers that be, to keep up the "prestige" of the white race and make much of the inferiority of all men with dark skins. This is imperative because the masses of Colored men dominated and made to stand aside by a small minority of white men. This is true in South Africa and in England, where England does not yet rule by law though she does in fact. It is so in India, where the difference between the alien masters and the native masses is a matter of color than of race, in the broad sense. Similar conditions exist in the British West Indies, where the bulk of the population is black. It is the same in the Malay peninsula and islands of the East Indies such as Borneo. The same is true in the case of the southland of this country, as we have already pointed out. If Jeffries had whipped Johnson there would not have been any outcry in the south or anywhere else in this country against the exhibition of the fight pictures. Indeed, that section of this country would have "revelled in" their exhibition. It is a matter of some satisfaction, however, that Cleveland and other cities of the north that hastened to "bite at the southern bait" and exclude the pictures, are at least yielding and permitting the exhibition. May the good work go on. MR. MAYO FESLER. The Cleveland Association of Colored Men in its Lyceum calendar announces that at its meeting on Feb. 5 at Cory M. E. church, Mr. Maye Fesler, secretary of The Municipal Association, will talk on "Some Steps Toward Municipal Efficiency." Mr. Fesler is the man who, in spite of the protests of the Citizens' Association for Civic Interests which represents many of the best Colored men in this community, refused to recede from his position and insisted upon designating all of our candidates for office as "colored" in his reports and official bulletins, thus all but ensuring their defeat from the start. He did this, he said, in accordance with the instructions of the executive committee of the Municipal Association. And yet, when each member of this committee was appealed to personally and sent the correspondence between our Civic Association and Mr. Fesler, the next report of the Municipal Association referred to our candidate, the editor of this paper, without any reference to his color or race. Thus it seems that Mr. Mayo Fesler was trying to force the executive committee to be aggressively prejudiced against its will. How then, can any organization of self-respecting Colored men ask a man of such caliber, such indecisive character, a man so unjustly prejudiced, to address them on any subject, to say nothing of discussing municipal efficiency? What can a man so full of prejudice as he, know of the requisites for municipal efficiency? Mr. Fesler said in defense of this gross injustice that the nationality of other candidates was indicated by their name. How weak and foolish an argument? Do you know at once the nationality of Messrs. Jones, Smith, Black, White and Baker simply from the name? Do not people of all nationalities here bear English and American names? But what matters your nationality as long as you are an American citizen? What we cannot see is how the Cleveland Association of Colored Men could so far forget themselves, could so completely lose their pride, their dignity, their self-respect, as to invite Mr. Mayo Fesler, a man who has clearly shown that he does not believe in the equality of all races, and believes still less in justice to all, to address them on any subject. Harry E. Davis, Welcome T. Blue, and Samuel T. Bowy, the lecture committee of the Cleveland Association of Colored Men, ought to recall their invitation at once, and not attempt to foist such a farcical affair upon our people. THE PERIL OF LYNCHING. What saith the Saxon and the nation now? "Why, blood is spilled, and one more black man burned! Strength has spurned weakness, as it should be spurned, And Saxon ire is sated!

Indianapolis, Ind.-Amid the fragrance of grass and flowers and capped by a beautiful monument the mortal remains of Dr. Richard Gatling, inventor of the famous Gatling gun, lie in. Crown Hill cemetery. But few people in this part of the state know that in that western corner of the cemetery back of the chapel is the last resting place of the man who gave to the powers the powerful medium of authority, the deadly Gatling. Richard Gatling gave a fortune out of the gun and died poor. "Like all inventors," said attorney John E. Duncan, "Dr. Gatling had nothing when he Dr. Gatling's Tomb. died, although he amassed a fortune from his gun." Mr. Duncan is a nephew of the inventor. His mother and Mrs. Gatling were sisters. Dr. Gatling came to Indianapolis when a young man. He invented the first wheat drill, after which he entrusted the real estate business, dealing in western lands. It was after the war he invented his gun. An unsuccessful effort was made by local men to form a company and sell stock to manufacture the gun. Finally Gatling got the Colt people at Hartford, Conn., to manufacture the instrument. This took Gatling to Hartford. Later he traveled through Europe and the powers took up the gun immediately. It proved its worth afterwards, particularly in the Boer war. Gatling died in New York city about three years ago. His remains were brought to Indianapolis and the monument was erected by his only living child, Richard H. Gatling, a New York city mortgage broker. Gatling was born in North Carolina.

THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1911 BROTHER LONG LOST Indians Carried Away William Brown at Austin, Tex. Recent Rumors Have Prompted a Search by Mrs. Carrie Jayne McFarland, a Sister, but So Far Without Result. Darlington, Okin—Nearly seventy years age William Love Brown, then twelve years old, was carried away by a band of Comanche Indians from the home of his parents in the outskirts of Austin, Tex, and taken to the Comanche camps in what is now southwest Oklahoma. Ever since that day the kinsmen of the lost boy have been searching for him, and hoping that he might be found. Their inquiries were lately renewed by reason of a news paper story telling of an old man, long captive among Indians in Oklahoma, who was trying to find his people. Mrs. Carrie Jayne McFarland of Port Lavace, Tex., sister of Brown, heard of the story and has written to United States Indian agents in Oklahoma, asking if they know of the man. The agents have no knowledge of him. Mrs. McFarland is being assisted in her search by her son-in-law, F. P. Penfield of Houston, Tex. Missionaries among the Klowas and Comanches have been requested to question the old men of these tribes and, if possible, learn if they have any knowledge of the attack on the Brown home. Mrs. McFarland lately told this story of the incidents that led to the loss of her brother: "Some eight or ten Comanche Indians rode up to our gate Sunday, July 10, 1842, and asked the way to Austin. Father walked out near the gate to direct them, my mother and the children following to look at the painted faces of the Indians and the shields they carried. "An Indian reached over the fence and picked up my brother Amos and placed him behind him and started to put a belt round his and the child's waist, in that way trying to strap the child to him. Father stepped out the Mrs. Carrie Jayne McFarland. gate and took Amos from the Indian, and then turned to my mother and told her to take the children and go quickly into the house. "My mother ran with the children at her side. An arrow narrowly missed her and stuck in the door facing as she entered the house. My father ran, but was shot, and fell in the yard near the door. An arrow passed half way through the arm of little Amos, just above his left elbow. Two carpenters at work on the house were present. One of them, Mr. Hoskins, was shot and killed. "My mother called to the carpenter in the house and they carried my father inside. He asked for brother William and was told by the negro girl that the last time she saw him the 'Injins were takin' him off. Father died in fifteen minutes after he was shot. He and Mr. Hoskins were buried across the road from the house. My mother kept hoping and looking for brother William's return for thirty years or longer." RUNS MULE BY ELECTRICITY Owner Has Device to Hurry Beast When He Shows Symptoms of Hookworm. Forrest City, Ark.--Friends of Superintendent Chilner of the city water and light plant are at a loss whether to class him as the meanest man in Arkansas or the most ingenious one. The water department has a Missouri mule which possessed the reputation of being the laziest quadruped ever harnessed until Mr. Chilner rigged a patent starter on the wagon to be drawn by it. He put a small electric battery with a switch convenient to the driver's hand, and attached an insulated wire to the headstall of the bridle, thence to the ring on the bit, and then back to its tail. Now when the gang is ready to start there is no cranking lor horsewhipping to be done. The device was resorted to after his muleship threatened to bankrupt the plant buying whips. Mr. Chilner has applied for patents. Molasses Kills Many Fish Molasses will make Pine.

Prof. Franz Boas, of Columbia University, says that there are two types of "Negro" in Africa, i.e. the agricultural and the pastoral. He says that the Africans have progressed far along their own lines, speaking very highly of their industrial development and of their judicial system. Our farmers are said to own nearly the land, one land around Marcellus, Texas. One farmer, Miles Mottel, is said to have six or seven hundred acres in corn and one thousand in cotton. He also controls a store and cotton gin. J. T. Henderson, owning 900 acres, is said to be worth $175,000. A very successful sanatorium is that of Dr. B. R. Blutt of Dallas, Texas. It was built in June, 1905, at a cost of over $12,000. Over 400 patients have received medical treatment there and some of the most skilful operations known to the surgical world are said to have been performed there by our physicians. Percy Davis, a Harlem alderman, known as a staunch friend to the race, introduced a resolution, at a meeting of the Board of Aldermen of New York City, recently, requesting that the heads of the Fire and Police Department and the Afro-American on the eligible list, now and in the future, as patrolman and fireman.

QUEER CHINESE BUG Tenodera Sinensis Has Appeared in This Country. Curiosity From the Orient Said to Have Been Imported by Green-house Owners to Destroy Insects. Philadelphia, Pa.—The Tenodera Sinensis or Chinese Mantis is in our midst, nowadays and the insect experts at the Academy of Natural Sciences on Logan Square have been kept busy recently answering questions as to what the queer-looking insects are and where they come from. Philadelphia is about the only American city that is the home of the Chinese Mantis. About 10 years ago a number of the insects were brought to this city from China on some plants that had been imported by the Meehan Nurseries, in Germantown. Gradually the mantis spread through Germantown, and are now rather abundant north of Market street. That they will in time spread throughout the city and suburbs, and, perhaps, in time throughout the country, seems probable. The mantis, according to Dr. Henry Skinner, of the Academy of Natural Sciences, has no sting, but has a rather large mouth and will bite if annoyed. Several weeks ago a woman living in Germantown became terrified when one of the insects flew against her arm. She declared that the bug stung her and that her arm was badly swollen for several days. Not a day has passed that several persons with the insects in bottles have not come to the Academy to have their pets examined. The mantis lives on smaller insects, such as files, mosquitoes and gnats. According to Dr. Skinner, the bug is really valuable. The eggs of the mantis are laid in autumn and hatch in spring. About the last of August the mantis becomes full grown and lives until 1 "The Chinese Mantis. cold weather. In size the bugs range from two to six inches long. They are sometimes called *Proving Mantis*. Soothe savers and the Prophet Bugs. It is said the Chinese tell their fortunes from the actions of the insects. The name Praying Mantis comes from the fact that the insects hold their two front legs, which are very short, in a praying position, and often work them rapidly back and forth. The most peculiar parts of the bug are its eyes and long neck. The eyes are like miniature shoe buttons on the outside of the insect's head, and in proportion to its size are very large. The neck shoots out from the body and forms about one-third the length of the bug, ranging from one to two inches. The mantis can fly, has green wings, a brown glossy back and long feelers protruding from its head. All together it is not a friendly looking beast. Recently, it is said, the owners of greenhouses in this country have imported the insects to use in destroying insects in their greenhouses. The Last Word.

FORAKER FOR PRESIDENT And Not for the U. S. Supreme Court Bench—A Lady Friend of the Race Writes. Grass Valley, Ore., Nov. 7, 1911. Editor Gazette—Dear Sir: Congratulations on your choice as a candidate for member of the Ohio Constitutional Convention. I sincerely hope you will be elected. I am sure you will work for the best interests of the dear old state. I see one of your subscribers wants our dear Senator offered the vacancy on the Supreme Court bench. I would like to see President Taft offer it but hate to see Senator Foraker accept it. If he became a U. S. Supreme Court Justice he would have to quit politics, and be in the right way. Besides I think we can put him in the White House in 1912 or '16 and the Lord knows we need him badly there. What hypocrits we are to criticise Russia for her treatment of the Jews and Belgium for the Congo; and permit peonage and lynching and other brutalities in our own land. There is a big job for some one to sweep our own doorstep and Senator Foraker is just the man to do it. I know of no one else who has thou requisite courage and ability. So let's honor him in every way possible but don't retire him to the Supreme Court Bench. Yours sincerely. MRS. PATRICIA ROBISON. Another Lyncher Pleads Guildy.

Prof. Hatton's lecture in our local business league's lyeum at Shiloh church, Monday evening, proved a treat in every way. Owing to the inclement weather the audience was not large, about 75 persons being in attendance. Many questions were asked at the close of the lecture and answered satisfactory. Prof. Hatton and his most interesting and instructive discussion of matters of prime importance. A return lecture by him would be an excellent substitute for the "Fesier lecture" in February. The Hlaiwath club met at Mrs. L. Douglass, E. 31st St. Tuesday, Nov. 7. The club donated $10 to the Associated Charities. They will also give a musical at St. Andrew's Episcopal church, Friday evening, Nov. 24, for the same purpose. An excellent programme is being prepared by the committee: Mrs. J. Walter Wills, Mrs. J. M. Gilmere and Mrs. P. J. Tarrer. The following officers were elected for the year: Mrs. Mary Evans, pres.; Mrs. Welcome Blue, vice-pres.; Mrs. Crawford, sec.; Mrs. William McIntyre, asst. sec.; Mrs. Jenl, sec.; Mrs. J. P. Tarrer, pres.; Mrs. J. M. Gilmere, committee. The club adjourned to meet at Mrs. Mary Evans' Rlaine Ave, Nov. 21. A delightful musical and descriptive travel lecture was given at Cory church, Scovill Ave. and E. 36th St. on last week Wednesday evening for the building fund of St. James' church, under the auspices of the "New Site Club." Mesames Blanch Glimmer, Bessie C. Kitzmiller, Saitia C. Vola Burbridge, committee, Rev. F. G. Snelson gave an excellent address on things he had gleaned in his travels. The musical program follows: Piano solo, Madeline Jones; male quartette, Messrs. Prior, Wiggins, Wilkins and Simmons; solo D. O. Gates; solo Gates; recitation, Alma Burks; vocal solo, Miss Ruby Gates; violin solo, Master Louia Jones; vocal solo, Mr. Arthur Spencer; whistling duet, Miss Mamie Gates and J. W. Wills; vocal solo, Miss Ruth Anna Fisher. After a short talk by the editor of The Gazette a delightful social time was enjoyed. Refreshments. A neat sum was real- Desiring to show in some material way their interest in the work of the Tuskegee Institute, several of our Women's clubs of the city have formed a temporary formation known as the Tuskegee Club for the purpose of promoting a musical and literary entertainment at St. John's A. M. E. church, Wednesday evening, Dec. 6. The proceeds will go to the institute as the committee's testimonial of good will. A program of high character will be presented and all who attend may be assured an evening of pleasure. This in addition to the community's testimonial to Tuskegee, makes the club hopeful of such general patronage as an entertainment for this purpose ought to have. The ministerial Association and other organizations, as far as they have been reached, are favoring the movement, and the hope now is that all will join in an effort to make the movement succeed in college.

Smith of Cleveland, Ohio, has been made a member of the Constitutional Convention of the state of Ohio. This is a signal honor, and one that carries with it a large responsibility. Here is a great state about to revise legislation that would treat and adequate to the spirit of the times. The old laws that have become useless by reason of the change that the evolution of Progress has produced must be relegated and the pages of the Code must be written with the laws and statutes that mean for the benefit of the hundreds of thousands of Ohio's citizens. Not a few of these statutes and statutes that will aid and proper that there should be one of their own on that committee who through all the laws of nature is qualified to suggest what will be an aid and assistance to his fellow members in their upward trend. And in our own opinion, which, by the way, does not bear much weight, yet it is ours, there could be no better selection made if the whole state of Ohio had been given over with a finetooth comb.

WARNED HIM AND VANISHED AND JUST WHEN HE THOUGHT HE HAD "JOCKEYED THE GHOST" THE PREDICTION BECAME A FACT—STORY OF A SPECTER DOG AND THE LEGEND OF LADY HOWARD. Belief in specters, phantoms and apparitions still lingers in many parts of England. We scoff at ghost stories as stuff that is "considered ridiculous by all persons of sound education and common sense," and yet mixed in with the legends of wraiths and hellhounds are some true tales that are hard to explain from the standpoint of natural cause and effect. A strange story is that told of the notorious second Lord Lytleton, who is said to have been as evil as his father was the reverse. He died in his prime under the following well attested circumstances: A few days before his death Lord Lytleton saw enter his room a woman who told him that on the third day after her appearance he would die. He was very much frightened and extremely depressed by the occurrence, but on the morning of the third day his fears had abated somewhat, and he had to breakfast with him a party which included Lady Flood, Lord Fortescue and two of the Misses Amphlett, to whom he said, "If I live over tonight I shall have jockeyed the ghost, for this is the third day." In the forenoon the party set out to Pit place, Lord Lytleton's country seat near Epsom, and were not long arrived when his lord ship had a suffocating fit, but recovered sufficiently to dine with his friends at five o'clock. By what is described as "a friendly trick" the watches and clocks throughout the house were advanced half an hour. The evening passed, and Lord Lyttleton's spirits recovered their usual gayety. At half past eleven he retired, and, according to his valet's report, "he kept every now and then looking at his watch. Within a minute or two of twelve by his watch he asked to look at mine. His lordship then put both to his ear to make certain that they went. When it was near the real hour of 12 he said: 'Come; I will wait no longer. Get me my medicine. I will take it and try to sleep.'" It appears that the valet stirred the draft with a toothpick, and this angered Lord Lyttleton, who sent him for a spoon. When the man returned he found his master in a fit. Instead of attempting to relieve him he ran for help, and when he returned with the alarmed guests' Lord Lyttleton was dead. A peculiar class of apparition in which many persons believed is that of specter dogs, which are again divided into three kinds: (1) Black dogs that are fiends in disguise; (2) evil spirits that hunt souls in this guise; (3) spirits of the wicked departed made to take this shape for their sins. These black dogs are of all sorts and sizes, big dogs and little dogs, long haired dogs and short haired dogs, meek dogs and fierce dogs, but as a rule the standard specter hound is huge, most ferocious looking and shaggy like a wolf, and, we are told, packs of these hellhounds have been seen, sometimes hunted by a huntsman whose description much resembles the popular conception of the devil. A famous story is told of a goblin hound which used to inhabit an old mansion at Lyme Regis, in Dorset, that had been partly demolished and turned into a farmhouse, in which lived an old drunken farmer. Having been urged to drive out the black dog by his companions, he seized the poker and rushed at the dog, which sprang up instantly and rushed upstairs, followed by the tips farmer. It fled into an attic and, he presto, jumped clean through the ceiling. The angry farmer struck at the place, when, to his amazement, down fell from the hole he had made an old fashioned money box, which proved to be full of gold and silver coins of the reign of Charles I. The dog was never again seen in the house, but it is said to haunt a lane which leads to it, where it can be seen at midnight and which bears the name of "Dog lane," while a local inn display the sign "The Black Dog Inn." Lady Howard, who lived in the reign of the first James and was as famous for her wit as for her beauty and her wealth, was also possessed of a good many bad qualities. She had four husbands, whom she killed off rather rapidly, and was very cruel to her only daughter. For her sins she was transformed when she died—so the story runs—into a black dog, and at midnight she runs between Fitzford, her one time residence, and Oakhampton park in order to carry to the place from which she started a single blade of grass. This she is doomed to do until she has removed every blade of grass from the park—London Globe. FARM BOY TAKES CARE OF HIM SELF.

GERMANY IN AFRICA ARRIVING FULLY A GENERATION LATE AT THE DIVISION FEAST, GERMANY HAS NOW AN AFRICAN POLICY. At the present moment Germany has on the west coast of Africa and facing the Gulf of Guinea the triangular shaped colony of Kamerun, which touches Lake Tebah on the north and is cut off from the Congo by the comparatively narrow strip of French territory that connects the French possessions of the Sudan with the establishments near the mouth of the Congo. On the east coast, again, German Southeast Africa extends from the Indian ocean to Lake Tanganyika, there touching the Congo Free State, which stretches in a solid block to the Ubangi river. If German Kamerun should be extended by the French cession of the territories between the Kamerun and the Congo Free State the sole interruption to a German ocean to ocean colony would be the neutral state of Belgian Congo, the possession of a minor European power which could not defend it and to which the Germans would hold the reversionary title. What Germany asked, moreover it is plain now that she will substantially obtain, the French territory certainly, the reversionary title perhaps less certainly. Each of the larger European schemes in Africa has been expressed in the terms of a great railroad. The French planned the Trans-Saharan and are actually building the Trans-Sudanese; for the British the Cape to Calro line has served as a promise of unity. The Germans on their side have already begun two sections of their railroad of empire, the Trans-Equatorial, which will cross Africa near the equator, both ends being in German territory. One other detail completes the German conception as European colonial observers now see it. South of the Congo Free State and separated from it by Portuguese Angola is German Southwest Africa, which stretches to the Orange river on the south. If in the general collapse of Portuguese colonial power or in some settlement induced by German influence Angola becomes a German possession, then save for the brief interruption of the coast enclaves of French Congo and Spanish Guinea, Germany would have an Atlantic coast line stretching from the Orange river to the Gulf of Guinea, while on the Indian ocean it would extend from the Zambesi to Uruguay. Such in bare outline is the German African conception, now accepted by all European journals. Yet it has one incidental consequence which cannot be disregarded. If Germany is to have an African colonial empire stretching from the Atlantic to the Indian ocean it must have Congo Free State. But in the British Cape to Cairo scheme Congo Free State is equally the keystone; the success of one ruins the other. Since only one can prevail, therefore, it is not strange that English, German and French commentators alike see arising out of the settlement of the Moroccan question another source of international difficulty, of Anglo-German rivalry the extent of which cannot yet be accurately measured. But for the moment what is most interesting, most novel, is that the Germans in their turn have achieved an African policy. Arriving a generation late upon the African field, they have already successfully upset the exclusive policy of France and England, and with complete triumph laid the foundation for their "place under the sun." Henceforth Germany must be reckoned with in Africa. The best part of the continent England and France have obtained by previous activity, but the empire Germany now seeks is neither inconsiderable nor lacking in enormous commercial possibilities, while its population may easily exceed that of British and French Africa alike.—Editorial, New York Sun. RIDDLE OF GRAVITATION. Nearly two hundred and fifty years ago one of the greatest intellects connected with science turned his attention to gravitation. In that 250 years physical science has made rapid advances. A boy who has completed a year's work in elementary physics could entertain Newton in electricity were it possible for the great philosopher to return to earth. After learning of the great progress in electricity I can imagine him at his eager desire for knowledge turning to the boy and expecting some light on gravitation. Alas, not only the high school boy, but even the most learned, can give any definite information on gravitation. The problem is about where Newton left it. — Popular Science Monthly.

A BELASCO EPIGRAM. David Belasco was condemning two melodramas that had had an unmerited success among the less cultivated portion of the public. "The first," said Mr. Belasco, in his epigrammatic way, "was all blood and thunder, and the other was all thud and blunder." GOOD BUSINESS. "I once got a man to take out a £5,000 life policy, and he met with a fatal accident within a week." "You must have wished your persuasions had been less successful." "Oh. I don't know. You see, I married the widow."—London Opinion. A handsome man is not enough for his excuse, but he must invent others. Lots of people are generous with money successfully swindled. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1911. ADVERTISING IS THE KEYNOTE TO BUSINESS SUCCESS ADVERTISING IS THE KEYNOTE TO BUSINESS SUCCESS CHICAGO PAPER INVESTIGATES RESULTS OBTAINED BY ADVERTISERS USING ITS Does advertising pay? In answer to this general question, one hears many and varied answers. From the constant advertiser the answer is spontaneous and direct, "Yes, advertising always pays." From the spasmodic advertiser more different answers come than from any other persons in business, some say it does pay, at some times, others that it depends on circumstances, while others still, say it does not pay. From the business men who do not advertise, we get the answer, "No it does not pay." The reason why such an answer is given is obvious. It is evident that the man who says it does not pay to advertise bases his conclusions upon his ignorance. Not having tried advertising he does not know whether it pays or does not pay, and being blinded by his own narrow prejudice, he is unable to see the full page and even ten and twelve pages of advertisements of the large commercial houses of the city as well as thousands of bill boards confronting him in any direction he may look. The Chicago Negro Business league in their campaign to interest negro business men in the city have discovered numbers of interesting facts. Among the most interesting being the large number of colored men in business who are unknown to business men and the masses of consumers in their own community. At every meeting of the league several people who have been in business for some time in the city are introduced and their business mentioned who are wholly unknown or their business unheard by members living within one block of their places of business. The reason being they do not advertise. Along this line, Dr. George C. Hall, president of the league, at a recent luncheon of the league, had this to say: "The reason why the negro business man does not get more of the colored business in his community is because he thinks the only thing to do is to rent a store, put up a sign and then sit down and wait for the public to look him up. There are too many people here looking for the public, for the public to bother to look up a man in an obscure place just because he is a colored man. Note the number of men present here tonight who are in business and yet many of us have never heard of them. Notwithstanding there are a half dozen colored papers in the city who are anxious to advertise their business. You even hear colored men say that their business is principally with the white people. The reason is that the colored people do not know of their business, if they did they would support them. They support me and they are the backbone of all the rest of negro business and professional men in this city. It does not make any difference how much white trade a colored man may have, he would be much better off if he had all of the colored trade in his community and when he does not get it, it is either because he does not advertise or does not treat his customers right." Upon investigation the Chronicle finds that more than ninety per cent. of the business people who do not advertise are complaining of lack of business and that the other ten per cent. are wholly discouraged and are just waiting for an opportunity to close their doors and give the business up altogether. On the other hand the Chronicle finds that ninety per cent. of those who advertise are doing good business and report their business on the increase and in most instances are increasing their stock and expecting to do a larger business; while the other ten per cent. are getting along and are still hopeful. They all consider advertising as a necessary part of their business. In fact they claim that if it were not for advertising they would not be able to keep open. ACCURATE MEASUREMENT. Prof. Frederick W. Williams of Yale, who is an expert on China, believed too many missionaries to the Chinese are tactless. To their tactlessness he imputes the small number of Chinese converts. Professor Williams, at a luncheon at Princeton, said last month: "I have known missionaries as ignorant of tact as Jim Driscoll was ignorant of foot rules. "Jim Driscoll, a farm boy, got a job in a steel mill, and his boss gave him a foot rule one day, and said: "Measure me that plate out there in the yard." "Jim, at the end of a half hour returned and said: "The plate is the length of the rule and three fingers over, with this piece of cobble stone, and the stem of my pipe, and my foot from here to here, bar the toecap." HEROIC TREATMENT. The physician turned to the office patient in the canvas coat and leggins. "You must follow my directions implicitly," he said, handing him a small vial of liquid. "You are to take three drops in water every four hours." "Three drops in water every four hours!" ejaculated the patient, in a bewildered manner. "And I'm an aviator!"—Lippincott's.

It succeeded in this instance (vs. 28, 31, 32). It would be well if this way were offender followed today. Some think that fasting is out of place in the present dispensation. They surely have read their Bibles carelessly (Acts 13:23; 14:23). Every great emergency in individual and church life should be met by fasting and prayer. There is, of course, no virtue or merit in the mere abstinence from food or other desirable things, but there is power in that downright realization of our dependence upon God and determination to obtain his help that leads us to forego things that are good and desirable in their right time and place. We would have more of God's guidance and help if we with the simplicity and faith of Ezra cast ourselves upon him in fasting and prayer. The object of the fasting in this case was "that we might humble ourselves before our God" (R. V.). The one who desires God's help must get down low before him (1 Pet. 5:6). If we come seeking things as our right we will not get them, but if we come casting ourselves sinners and casting ourselves upon his grace we will. That which they desired of God was "a straight way." This he has promised to give to those who meet the conditions (Prov. 3:6). We should look to him (Jer. 10:23). Ezra had made his boast in the Lord and was consequently ashamed to ask man. Well he might be. But the church is not so sensitive nowadays. They proclaim their faith in God who has promised to supply all our needs (Phil. 4:19), and then resort to all sorts of discreditable schemes to extort money out of the godless for God's work. Ezra was unwilling to weaken his testimony to God's goodness and power. His testimony had been a very notable one. "The hand of our God is upon all them that seek him for good; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him." The Bible is full of the truth that forms the first part of this testimony (2 Ch. 16:9; Ps. 33:18, 19; HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF AS SCIPIO WAS TO HANNIBAL SO WAS WELLINGTON TO NAPOLEON. There is probably no more remarkable history parallel than that exhibited by the career of Sclpio Africanus, the hero of the second Punic war, and the duke of Wellington, the conqueror of Napoleon. Each was descended from an ancient and noble family. Each was the second greatest soldier of his age, pitted in a life and death struggle against the greatest. As Sclpio was to Hannibal so was Wellington to Napoleon. Hannibal threatened the very existence of Rome; Napoleon was on a fair way to become the master of Europe. Again, Spain was the center of the most splendid achievements of both commanders. The victories of Sclpio in Spain are too well known to need recapitulation, and Wellington's triumphs in the insular斯历史 form one of the commonplaces of history. Neither of these great generals met his arch-adversary until the final and decisive battles—Zama and Waterloo respectively. And the result of both battles was exile to the defeated chiefs. Hannibal retired to Ephesus; Napoleon was deported to St. Helena. But the parallel does not end here. Both Scipio and Wellington exchanged a military for a political career. And here the same fate pursued them. Scipio incurred the enmity of the Roman senate; Wellington gained the host'ity of the London populace. And here follows the most remarkable feature of the parallel drawn between these two great men. Seventeen years elapsed from the battle of Zama—seventeen years to the very day—when the great Seipio was tried on a question of bribery. He was not slow in his defense to remind his judges that on that day he had saved the republic. Seventeen years elapsed from the battle of Waterloo—seventeen years to the very day—when the great Wellington had to take refuge from the attack of a London mob, angered on account of his opposition to the parliament reform bill. The only point in which the parallel fails is this: Seipio died outside his beloved city of Rome; Wellington has his monument in St. Pauls cathedral, London. But the parallel between the careers of these two extraordinary men remains as one of the curiosities of history. Youth's Companion. OLD KING WITH A NEW NAME. "Mr. Titewadd, can't I get you interested in settlement work?" "Why, you might. What do you want me to do?" "Settle this little bill you owe Shears, the tailor." RING OFF, WILD BELLES. Maybelle--See the beautiful engagement ring Jack gave me last night. Estelle--Gracious! Has that just got around to you? 34:15, 22; Lam. 3:25; Rom. 8:28). Hapley is the man who believes it and walks in the power of this truth. He will never fear man (Rom. 8:31). But the last part is just as true (cf. Josh 23:16; 2 Ch. 15:2; 1 Pet. 3:12), and men should be warned more frequently and faithfully along this line. And the "all" should be emphasized. Every man fancies his case will prove an exception, but there are no exceptions. "He was entreated of us," how often the Bible records instances of answered prayer. How often every true believer can say, "He was entreated of me." The God of the Bible and the God of Christian experience is a God who hears and answers prayer. It was in exact accordance with a very old promise that God listened to them at just this time (Deu. 4:29; see context). Manasseh had tried and proven the same wonderful promise (2 Ch. 33:12, 13). How fortunate that more who are in captivity through sin do not put the promise to the test. 2. Twelve Chief Priests and ten others Commissioned and Exhorted 24.30. Though Ezra was a man of prayer and great and simple faith, he was in no wise a fanatic, but a man of levelheaded business serse provide carefully even in the secular details of God's work for things honest in the sight of men as well as God (2 Cor. 8:20, 21). He while he could and did trust God, he kept and required an accurate account of God's treasures. That is the Bible way of carrying on God's work. These men who were separated unto his work were regarded as "holy unto the Lord" (v. 28). Those who bear the vessels of the Lord should be holy (Isa. 52:11). They were to exercise great care in the charge of the things committed to their trust, "to watch and keep them" (v. 29). This they did (v. 33). Every servant of God must watch (cf. Mk. 13:23-27) and keep diligently that which is entrusted to him. Their vigilance was not to cease until their work was done and everything turned over to the proper ones at Jerusalem, who should be thereafter responsible. 3. God Brings Ezra and his Company Safety Through to their Destination, 31, 32. It was a long and perilous journey, it took them four months to brave the desert, they were not equipped for fighting, the way was infested with thievish Bedouin, but God had justified E₆. 's testimony to the king. God had given himself better than an army. H is just as able and ready to deliver it is from the hand of the enemy. Our enemy is far more powerful and powerful than Ezra (Eph. 1:12), but he is not match for our deliverer. He too is "a lier in wait by the war" (see R. V.). God's protection was not for a day, but until they reached their journey's end, "We came to Jerusalem," says Ezra. So it will be to you. He will deliver us and protect us until we reach our Jerusalem. How glad Ezra must have been when he reached Jerusalem that he had cast himself so utterly on God. How all-sufficient is his help. To have "the hand of our God upon us" is enough in any time of peril (Rom. 8:31). REACHING FREEZING POINT The shimmering moonlight silvered the placid water. The tinkle of a banjo down in the cabin floated up the companionway and spread itself around the deck. The girl leaned against the rail. The captain was first. "Miss Oldegirl," he said softly, "from the first minute you decorated this ship with your charming presence I have worshipped you. Yes, worshipped. Worshipped. As an old sear dog, the word ought to have 'ship' in it somewhere. Will you go halves with me for the rest of this earthly cruise?" The girl was just about to answer when the first mate appeared. "Hear me before you promise," he begged. "If you don't make me the happiest man on earth I will jump overboard and stick out my tongue at the lifeboat. Say, yes; ah, s'yes!" Softly, though. The second mate is approaching. "Hear me, are you decide," he be besought. "I love you so much it's a shame. Nobody did. Nobody could. Won't you?" With a start the girl awoke and rubbed her eyes with two knuckleless and a sigh. It was her thirty-second birthday and thirty-two is freezing point. NOTHING TO HIM Pat and Mike made fur fly when they started discussing national insurance. And, of course, they brought the argument to a close in the usual way. "Shure," declared Pat, banging at the table, "it's meself can't see any good in insurance of any koind!" "But," urged Mike, "can't yer see how the employers will be after havin' to pay for the loikes of us? There's consolation in that, anyway, bedad!" "Thrue!" retorted Pat, with a triumphant gleam in his eye. "But answer me this, me boy. What's the good of insurance to a man if his wife's a widow?" RAKING UP OLD PERSONALITIES Andrew Jackson was inspecting his latest portrait. "I seem to sport a rather aggressive toon," he said.

THE VALUE OF BUSINESS ENTERPRISES AN INTERESTING EDITORIAL FROM THE ILLINOIS CHRONICLE. After a man's moral rating is made his value to the world is judged by what he has accomplished. And in a final analysis what he has accomplished usually reduces itself to dollars and cents. With this fact in mind it is well to remind ourselves of what our business enterprises stand for to ourselves and the world at large. By business we speak directly of commercial interchange. Its value is almost inestimable. No man can rise or fall alone, every individual is much too closely interwoven with the general woof. Thus so the development of our business enterprises spells success or failure for us individually and collectively. It is an excellent thing that a man shall have certain employment, which he knows brings him a stated stipend. But it is not this man who is doing the hard work in race upbuilding. It must always be remembered that if some one had not toiled over a business there would be no possibility of salaried employees. It is the man who starts on little and gradually increases it to whatever size he may be capable, who is building the future welfare of this people. Monetary considerations is a basic principle of exchange between all races. And their value is accredited in exact proportion as they are able to cope with competitive races and nations. Now everything must grow from something. The salaried man (without depreciating his value to his community) is always more or less of a parasite, however worthy his end-eavors may be. It is the business men who create values, who establish laws and who control interests. Business is the backbone of a nation's success. As a country's business houses grow, so it becomes powerful among nations and its opinions and rights respected. And Jews perhaps give the most noteworthy example of this principle. Their is a people who at all parts of the world are despised and humilfated. Yet they are rejected, or perhaps better, ejected from no place because of the command they have in the business world. Our business enterprises should receive our best encouragement. Every race of people looks chiefly to its own members for sustenance. And every man who is able to command capital is able to give employment to another man, as his enterprise is successful. Employment among our own people means a closer welding together of our interests and greater strength. We cannot always be beggars at another man's door, however just is the reason for our begging. It robs the race of independence and unity, thus sapping away its strength. Our business ventures must receive encouragement, and if not from us, then from whom? True there will always be those who toll and those who reap the results of this labor. But this should make us but the more anxious to see that some of the reward of labor falls into hands where we may benefit, however indirectly. It is to our business men that the future will be responsible for the homes, the standing and the uplift of the race. Let us then be mindful of our enterprises. Encourage them by our patronage and sacrifice ourselves for their welfare if necessary. Their success means the greater opportunity for the children of today. It means financial standing for those who are making an effort to take us from the mediocre. They are adding power to our interests in the financial world. As our business enterprises succeed we shall be able to demand and receive recognition and concessions along all lines. They place more money within our reach, they open opportunities where none existed before. Every effort should be made by every freedom loving, ambitious citizen to give all the alld within his power to any man who has courage and will enough to make an effort to build a financial enterprise.

A certain editor had cause to admonish his son on account of his reluctance to attend school. "You must go regularly, and learn to be a great scholar," said the fond father, encouraging; "otherwise you can never be an editor, you know. What would you do, for instance, if your paper came out full of mistakes?" The boy looked up into his parent's face with childish innocence. "Father," he said, solemnly, "I'd blame 'em on the printer!" And then the editor fell upon his son's neck and wept tears of joy. He knew he had a successor for the editorial chair. Children's Headwear. There is a great variety in children's headwear this autumn. There are hats of all descriptions to be found in the new models—beaver, velvet, plush and satin—in many smart shapes. These hats are usually trimmed with a wing or a good looking bow of ribbon. Fancy bonnets of satin, velvet, soft beaver and other materials in a number of new shapes are also in evidence. Hats and coats must match to be modish, which simplifies the selection of both articles of apparel. Innocent. Kind Gentleman—What are you crying for, my little man?
