GIRLISH COSTUME HAS MERIT
Pale Blue Zephyr Would Be Particularly Appropriate to Make Up This Dress.
Pale blue zephyr is used for this pretty girlish dress. The skirt is slightly full and has three inch-wide tucks above the hem, then above these is a band of embroidery insertion.
The bodice has a front of the material laid over a deep piece of the
F
trimming, with narrow pieces at the sides. Flaited net frills finish the sleeves. Hat of Tagel, with a crown composed of frills of ribbon, with a wreath of roses beneath and a satin ribbon bow at the side.
"No Gloves" Graze.
The "no gloves" craze is making visible headway. It Is a season for many and very large rings on the fingers, while more than a few smart women are just now cultivating the jeweled spider web, fastening from rings worn on the thumb or index fingers and little fingers on to a narrow, rather tight bracelet.
All these hand ornaments, together with the several bracelets it is now modish to wear at intervals up the arm, render gloves difficult to wear from the practical point of view, while there is always the rooted objection in human beings of hiding their light and jewels under a bushel.
Gray and Purple.
There seems to be a veritable epidemic of neat, light gray spring suits. Every third girl one meets seems to be wearing one, many selecting purple as the relieving note. A black hat worn with one of these gray costumes looked particularly attractive. The low dome crown was left quite plain, while on the wide straight brim near the edge there was laid a flat feather trimming in a rich shade of purple; around the throat there was worn a close fitting feather ruffe the same shade, finishing at the left side with a cluster of pastel toned satin flowers.

Detail That Must Be Kept in Mind,
or Unsatisfactory Results Are
Assured.
If your complexion is a brunette
tint do not make the mistake of
applying a white powder. It is plainly
visible against the darker skin, giving
a fragrant "made up" look to the entire
face. Powder is obtainable in
several flesh and ivory shades.
First apply a good cold cream, then dust on the powder, rubbing it well in with a soft cloth or piece of absorbent cotton. Be careful to have the powder evenly distributed, making certain it extends behind the ears to the back of the neck and well down on the throat. Brush the eyebrows and eyelashes to remove all traces of powder and see that none remains in the edges of the hair.
Gift For Baby.
Babies always need bibs, and it is easy to make these. They may be plain ones or fancy, finished with embroidery lace or feather-stitching; but an important point to remember when making a bib is to fit a pad of absorbent cotton under the outer-covering, else the moisture from the little one's mouth will soak through and ruin the dainty frock underneath.
A pillow-slip is also a nice gift for baby. It may be made of fine linen, embroidered on each end with a dainty spray of blossoms. This should cover a small down pillow.
Another idea is a bassinetine or carriage cover of French flannel, decorated with garlands of orisebuds worked in natural colored foss.
To make the cover still more elaborate, crochet lace medallions may be inserted in the center of each garland.
Three Types of Gowns.
three Types or Gowns.
There are three separate and distinct types of evening gowns this season, and every new dinner gown partakes of the other two types. There is the formal gown, with straps, wading draperies ending in a narrow train. There is the debutante type (worn by every woman who believes she looks best in girlish effects), which has floncess on the skirt and usually a sash knotted around the waist. And there is the pannier type, which is gay and chic and eminently Parisian, with its puffed-out or looped-over drapery and skirt short enough to reveal coquettish little satin slippers with high heels and sparkling buckles, or the pretty buttoned boots of satin, which do make the foot and ankle adorably slim and distinguished.
Taffeta the Favorite
Taffetta is perhaps more used than any other kind of silk for this season's little coat, though the soft satin stubbornly retain their popularity here as elsewhere in fashion's realm. Many of the costumes sent over by the best Parisian designers show fanciful little coats associated with one piece frocks. In the more conservative models the coat is in the same tone as the frock, though it is likely to be in contrasting material; but perhaps more frequently the coat contrasts in color with the frock, though its color may find an echo in some trimming note in the frock.
Pleated Skirts.
The new tailored skirts combine comfort in walking with a slim appearance, and the fashionable paneled skirts conceal their width in knife-plated folds which are only discovered when walking, and which drog neatly back into place at once.

COMMON INTEREST
BETWEEN NEGROES
There seems to be no serious thought or effort on the part of negroes anticipatory to the commercial, industrial, and political revolution logically subsequent to the opening of the Panama canal and as to its effect upon negroes. The commercial aspect deserves profound consideration; no less does the industrial and political.
The tendency will be to draw into closer relation all the countries of continental America and incidentally the whole world, by intensifying the interests of the nations to facilitate exchange with each other and to develop standards that will better serve industrial and commercial relations. By reason of its proximity the south will take on newer life. If the vastness of its resources must be explored and developed, the capitalists will seize the situation with energy, alertness and tenacity. Against the exacting and tenacious capitalists labor must be protected. We still hear more of the replication that unions are indispensable; that they cannot exist without franchise; that it is unsafe to admit any laborers to unions without franchise and especially without ambition to secure franchise at all hazards. What answer will American negroes make to the question that they are without social efficiency to withstand the sacrifice that franchise and unionism demand?
The Panama canal will take a new south. Who is not willing to admit the possibility of a new south becoming a north, a Yankee land? For an instance, we are familiar with white competition driving the neo wafter to the wall. Foreigners and native born are hardfast in the patches of the high cost of life. We must seek and dignify any anecdote of employment. Even the white woman is competing with the negro woman for the scrub brust. If the waiters' condition is without remedy, will not this soon apply to other avenues? There seems to be no public sentiment to quicken in his favor, either as to reforming hotel or as to demanding better "tips." This is also a phase emanating from a dwindling political status affecting the industrial outlooks.
This political status as appertaining to the negroes of continents, America and its islands will be revolutionized. Negroes of the United States, in Haiti, San Domingo, Cuba, Brazil and Central America are to be equalized by the ugly hand of the arrogant Caucasian. Will this be done to the white man's taste or will nature foliom and suit it to the taste of the negro? Here are twenty-five million negroes inhabiting countries whose climate more or less is fashioned after the climate of their origin, whose land abounds in wealth, and where in some instances rights are equal and the means by which to defend them are equal.
Prelude follows the American flag. The white man is growing the same everywhere, like causes produce like effects, what he has not done we may expect him to attempt at any time. It becomes a matter of common interest to all these negroes that justice shall prevail. The Panama canal will approximate them as if they were of states of the same union. Where is the negro leader of construction statesmanship to marshal and apply the means by which to bring about a better understanding and substantial helpfulness? This is the negro's prerogative.
It is urgent to cast his future into the proper mold. The crisis is impending, shall Haiti retain her sovereignty, shall other island neighbors and adjacent countries retain equal rights and the means by which to defend them and shall the reaction be the political emancipation of American negroes? I do not doubt the negroes of these islands. They cannot endure serfdom. To them it would be more bitter than death. If the test is applied will they not only successfully defend themselves, but create a reaction that will produce the political emancipation of negroes? There has never been an instance where any country, however large, has conquered a negro country, however small.
When Alexander was in quest of kingdoms, had laid Egypt at his feet, he fell against Abyssinia, was utterly regulated and had to retreat. England threw her giant strength against her, was defeated and had to withdraw. Italy fell against her, with 45,000 soldiers, and in the decisive battle that followed lost 33,000 soldiers and officers, killed and wounded, 20,000 arms, 200 field pieces and paid two million dollars' indemnity. L'Overture and Dessalines whipped England, France and Spain to a "frazzle." Here a half million black men whipped half of Europe. Cuban negroes fought Spain thirty years and won with the assistance of the 24th and 25th infantries and the 9th and 10th cavalries of the United States. They are now fighting for industrial and political emancipation. Will they produce another Maceo and win? American negroes will be affected eventually by political changes to the south of us. External forces once at work are sometimes powerful in events shaping other countries. When it became imissible that the revolt of San Domingo negroes against their masters would be successful, England said to the United States, "Let us abolish this importation of slavery." The queen-elect of England said: "I will not ascend the throne of England till slavery is abolished in Jamaica and Brazil." Napoleon in the height of his glory excclaimed, "If a
handful of negroes in San Domingo can destroy 50,000 of my best soldiers, I could not hold Louisiana in case of war. I will sell at once." Halti sent arms and printing press to Argentina which precipitated freedom there. Let the American negroes lend Cuban negroes their moral support; let the hearts of the 25,000 million negroes of this section of the world beat as one. If their opportunities are lost in the impending crisis, what of the race?—J. Arthur Davis in New York Age.
AFRO-AMERICANS IN HIGH SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES
STUDENTS FROM MANY STATES
INCLUDED IN HIGH RECORD
LIST.
Afro-Americans have shown
brilliant records as students in the
various high schools, academies and
colleges during the past year, as may be
seen from the following report:
Miss Edith Palmer of Philadelphia
won the free scholarship prize to Cornell
university. Edward Witrop Robinson
was awarded a scholarship at
Amherst college. Bessie Ganner was
valedictorian of her class in the Hilburn
(N, Y.) high school. She finished
a four-year course in three
years.
Marlon Reed of the Brighton high
school was the best student to be
graduated from a secondary school in
Boston. She was valedictorian of her
class and received a $100 scholarship
to Simmons college. The fly fighting
committee of the American Civic Association
of New York city offered a prize of $10 for the best essay on
the housefly as a carrier of disease. Willie
Henderson, a thirteen-year-old colored
girl, won the prize.
Ethel Davis of Boston in a competitive examination against, 1,400 other pupils won a scholarship of $500 per year in Wellesley college. George W. A. Scott won the second prize in the Curtis medal contest at Columbia university in 1910 and first prize in 1911. James B. Clark, a junior negro student at Cornell university, was awarded the prix d'honneur in the annual competition in French essay writing and translation, held under the auspices of the Society of French Professors of America. Charles Henry Crippen of New York in a competitive examination won the state scholarship in Cornell university. Dorothy C. Guinn of New Bedford, Mass., won a $200 scholarship at Radcliffe college. Thomas S. Lowry, a graduate of the medical department of Howard university, stood highest in the Florida state medical examination. P. E. Robinson of Durham, N. C., graduated with the highest honors from the Northwestern University Dental School of Chicago. He was appointed demonstrator in clinics, the first time a colored man has ever held such a position. L. Aldridge Lewis of Nashville out of 15 competitors received the highest grade, 92%, for internship at the city hospital and City dispensary in Indianapolis, Ind. James B. Murphy in a recent test at the St. Paul (Minn.) postoffice made an average of 99.75 per cent, the highest general average ever established by a government employee in the northwest.
At last the little door is open.
At last the little door is open.
So watch the prisoner look up to the
sky—
Yet finds it not as blue as when he
saw it last:
And, so where freedom leads he goes,
Looks to the prison door again.
But knows that slavery is of the past.
Discretion isn't a quality that gets
high praise.
Even the flavor of forbidden sweets
turns to ashes.
The first flowers of summer are the
kind men find steep.
The stamp of disapproval is far
more forceful when not driven by
anger.
Laugh before the world laughs at
you.
A hungry mouth can be forgiven
thoughtlessly.
Once shy may get many times blitten.
The gilded youth shows scratches
pretty quickly.
HOW MEREDITH NICHOLSON EX-
ERCISES.
They were talking about the value of regular physical exercise, and one of the group, noticing that Meredith Nicholson, the author, seemed pretty fit, asked him what he did to keep in condition.
"Who, me?" he exclaimed. "Why, I don't need any calisthenics or things of that sort. I live in a house on the sunset side of the street, and I get all the exercise my system needs in building the fire every morning."
"That doesn't seem to offer much chance for exercise," remarked a friend. "What kind of a fire is it you build, wood or coal?"
"Neither," replied Nicholson. "We use gas, and I have to scratch a match every time I light it."
TO STENOGRAPHER
REMARKABLY RAPID RISE OF AN AFRO-AMERICAN WHO HAD AMBITION AND BRAINS.
Washington.—A few years ago Woolsey W. Hall, an Afro-American was a laborer working for $548 a year in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, but now, he is a stenographer in the division of printing and stationery, at an annual salary of $1,400.
The story of the rise of this young man is interesting. Hall was born in Washington and educated in the public schools of the city. When he had completed his course in the high school, instead of accepting a place as a teacher, he decided to enter the government service, begin at the bottom and work his way to the top. He went into the bureau of engraving and printing as a laborer at $548 per year. He toiled hard during the day, but studied stenography at night and soon become proficient.
In the winter of 1905, Hon. J. Milton Turner, of Missouri, was before congress fighting for the interests of the freedom of the Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian tribes, and the bull of the testimony and evidence necessary to be presented to the committee of congress being too voluminous of his regular stenographer he employed Hall after department hours. Mr. Turner's sponsor in congress was Hon. Richard Bartholdt, of St. Louis, the then chairman of the house committee on public buildings and grounds, and the clerk of this committee at that time, Mr. Edward E. Miller, mentioned to Mr. Turner that he was overrun with work and would like to secure the services of a stenographer until the rush was over. Mr. Turner inquired if the stenographer's color or race was a consideration. Mr. Miller replied that the only qualification required by Congressmen Bartholdt, Rodenburg and himself was proficiency. Turner then took Hall to the capital and introduced him to Miller, who in turn presented Hall to Congressmen Rodenburg and Bartholdt, and from that hour fortune has seemed to smile on his pathway, for Congressman Rodenberg interested himself in Hall, worked with him over confidential legislative and personal correspondence, thus giving young Hall the best and most practical stenographic education it is possible to receive, and as a clitam to this work, in 1908, when Mr. Miller found the work of handling the omnibus public buildings bill of the 60th congress to require more stenographic help and asked that some arrangement be made to detail Hall to the committee, Congressman Rodenberg prevailed upon Chairman Bartholdt to request the house to appropriate for an assistant clerk to the committee and when the place was created, had Hall appointed.
When Hon. Franklin MacVeagh became secretary of the treasury in 1909, Hall had reached the grade of messenger in the office of an assistant secretary of the treasury at $1,000 per annum. Mr. Rodenberg told Hall that a young man who was qualified by experience and competitive examination for a clerical place should not be retarded in life and kept a messenger, even at $1,000 a year, and without solicitation on Hall's part, Congressman Rodenberg of Illinois, whose interest in the race is well known, called upon Secretary MacVeagh and after a short consultation received a promise that Hall would be given an opportunity. He was at once transferred to one of the divisions of the secretary's office, as a clerk, at $000 (the regular entrance salary), and shortly thereafter he was promoted to $1,200, skipping the $1,000 grade. He has again been promoted by Secretary MacVeagh, to $1,400 per annum.
Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh is known as the "Square Deal Secretary" and he well deserves the title, because the employees in his department get a square deal. When the secretary "discovers" a young colored man who has made good he does not hesitate in giving him a promotion.
There are 1,400 Afro-Americans in the treasury department and their annual salaries aggregate more than $1,000,000.
WOULD NOT SAVE HIS HEROINE
Balfour's toast of the "literature in particular which serves the great cause of cheering us all up," reminds one how an artist was once tempted to give the heroine health and happiness.
"Clarissa Harlowe" ran its course in volumes issued periodically, and at the end of the sixth Clarissa was left dying. This so affected a misguided enthusiast that he at once offered Richardson $5,000 if in the next volume he would restore her to health. Richardson refused. Literature has its heroes.—London Chronicle.
THE RIVER NILE.
These are some of the pupils' answers to examination problems in Butte, Mont.: The countries benefited by the overflow of the Nile are Europe, Asia, Australia and America, because they are not there to be drowned. The source of the Nile river is its main strength. Example—A boy paid $8.25 for a wagon and sold it for $7.75. Did he gain or lose, and how much. Answer—He gained on the cents and lost on the dollars.—Kansas City Star.

The making of a man and citizen is the highest and most difficult obligation of the Christian father and mother. The home training of the child is of as much importance in laying the foundation as the training of the schools. Up to a certain age, say twelve years, the child is subject more to the influence of the mother than of the father. Indeed, when the mother gets through with shaping the education of the child the kindergarten, the primary, grammar and high school grades, and turns him over to the father for his higher and finishing education the father, oftener than otherwise instead of undertaking the work himself, pays some one else to do it for him, turns the son over to the preparatory school head master and the university professor for a term of seven years. In the main, the father has very small part in the home training and education of the child, whether boy or girl; the work falls mostly upon the mother. Women therefore, should have the very highest and best home training and scholastic education to prepare them to be the very best wives and mothers.
The new president of Princeton university, Dr. John Grier Hilben, in his inaugural address, speaking on "The Essentials of Higher Education," stated it as his belief that "the chief of an education is the making of a man." It is "the progress of developing a power within which enables the human being to dominate the instincts and habits of his animal life." As to higher education this is true in a larger sense than is generally accepted. Only the person with the highest education is capable of overcoming the anima bruta of the heart in conflict with the animisma bruta of the soul—the microbes of the body that thrive upon ignorance and filth and die when in conflict with the animisma of the soul, of the spirit. It is from this viewpoint that President Hilben's definition is most valuable. But for the every day life we adhere to the definition once made in the Southern Workman, that education should aim primarily to fit the person to make a living, to make the most of his opportunities, along the lines of least resistance. Industrial education does this; coupled with a university education it does it in a double and higher sense. Much profit should be gained by a careful study of Dr. Hilben's elaboration of his idea, in the following:
"While man is a part of the natural world he also belongs to the world of mind and of spirit.
"The particular function of education is to give him the power of freedom and to make him sensible of the duties, and worthy the privileges of a person in the midst of a universe of things.
"Personality, however, is not mechanically formed from without, but must be evoked from within. The appeal of the teacher therefore is constantly directed to the inner spirit of the student, that spirit of life which informs the man and puts him into possession of his powers. The forces which find play in the activities of the mind are like the architectonic principle which is at work in the inner nature of a plant, fashioning it into the form of grace and beauty. Thus with the emancipation of a free spirit at the source of his being, the man with begins to develop both in power and in promise.
"An education is won by work; and the labors to be undertaken and the end to be attained may all be summed up in the command—Be a person. This is a command which is not merely the word of the teacher, but is essentially an inner compulsion possessing the solemn authority of self-legislation."
It is not enough to train the mind to think wisely upon the small as well as the large affairs of life, which find expression in thoughts that are spoken and written thence converted into works; it is equally necessary to train the forces of the heart that work silently and crave all manner of food and drink and apparel that may gratify vanity for the time being but bankrupt pride and often character in the long run. The system is full of microbial forces that crave and lust after things that destroy health and make for scandalous expenditures that in turn make for poverty and misery in the end. The educated mind knows best how to control these silent forces that crave and lust after forbidden things, and how to deny them; while the ignorant, untrained mind denies them nothing and is finally devoured by the vanity that "eats, drinks and makes merry because tomorrow it may die." That is not wisdom.—New York Age.
Men are needed on guard everywhere, negro men, who have their own best interests at heart, who know their best interests, and therefore have the best interests of their own people and those of the nation at heart. No man can help others who cannot help himself. That is a self-evident truth to all those who do not make a fat living out of others on the pretext of helping them instead; parasites they, who preach loud and long the wisdom of working and saving for the rainy day but who do not work

themselves and save nothing, and must depend upon the charity of those to whom they preach for everything they need; gamblers they, who spend most of their time and talent thinking out how they can make something for nothing, how they can coax out of others, who want "to get rich quick," that they have worked hard for, by the turn of a card or a twist of the stock market, gambling for the most part on "a sure thing," alike the gambler in the Tenderloin and gambler in Wall and Broad streets.
And there is another sort, of the parasite class, who deal in what people must have to eat and drink and wear, who adulterate whatever they have to sell and give short weight and measure, and carry the price on all things as high as they can without arousing the suspicion of the customer; cheats they are, and they are to be found wherever men buy and sell. Men are needed on guard everywhere to keep flying the flag of right thinking and honest living and dealing; to make a positive factor in their lives and the lives of others the Christian philosophy of brotherhood, of friendship, of common faith, without which no work can be properly done, no word safely relied upon. The word of truth and the works of honest men go together; when so united in one person all the community singles him out and says of him, "Now, there's an honest, reliable man who can be depended upon to do what he says he will do." A certificate of character like that in any community is worth a fortune to any man.
Our young men in all sections are going into business for themselves; they should do it and be encouraged in doing it, because a race of servers, of loafing parasites, who make all and spend all of and with others than their own, hewers of wood and drawers of water, with no great enterprises of their own, matured or on the way to maturity, cannot respect itself and need not expect others to do so. Barred out of the manufacturing industries, the wholesale and retail trades, and the banking business, their children denied employment and opportunity for promotion in them, there is nothing left for 10,000,000 people so circumstanced, as Afro-Americans are, to do but to build up manufacturing industries, wholesale and retail trades and banking business of their own. They cannot accept the industrial and business station, place they call it, whit men want them to occupy without sinking finally to the level of the Mexican peon, the Egyptian fellahean and the Chinese coolie. That they are not doing anything of the sort is shown unmistakably by the report of the twelfth annual convention of the National Negro Business league, held in Little Rock, in August of last year. The report shows that the 12 years of constant work by the business league has had a wonderfully stimulating influence upon the business initiative and development of the negro. The foundation is laid and they are building the superstructure slowly but surely.
We need men on guard everywhere to set the example of making the most of small things as well as great things, such as they have done at Boley, Okla, Mound Bayou, Miss, and other places, and as they are doing in an isolated way in all parts of the country. Our vast industrial population, wage earners should regard the business ventures of our men as their own ventures, and support them to the utmost of their means and opportunity. They will find it a good investment in the enhanced respect the success of the ventures will. Insure to the race and in the employment of their sons and daughters in profitable work, with a chance to learn how to conduct business undertakings of their own when they walk out of the schools into the world of affairs, where "the victory is not to the swift, nor yet to the strong, but to him that endureth to the end."—New York Age.
The school has recently installed a six thousand egg capacity incubator. With the smaller incubators which have been in use for some time, this will give an egg capacity of nearly ten thousand. The institute is trying to make its poultry plant of the largest possible service to the students in poultry raising, as well as to the several thousand farmers of the south who gather at the institute from time to time during the year. There are in the poultry yard at the present time 3,950 fowls, of which 1,460 are chicks hatched within the past few weeks.—Southern Letter.
Mrs. Rosa, Simpson, one of the deaconeses from Galveston, Texas, says that Champion Jack Johnson paid her expenses to the Methodist conference. He met her in Chicago, and took her to his house to see his mother, also telegraphed a friend in St. Paul to meet her and find a nice place for her to stay. She says that Jack did this because of his good heart.—Minneapolis Star.
We have great faith in the final triumph of right and in the words of the prophet, will be content to wait "until the day break and the shadows see away."—Richmond Planet

rent the place for “emancipation cele-
brations” and other affairs, instead of
going into the courts to put a stop to
the damnable discrimination there

fight to the death, and die bdefore
they would carry their bard-earned
money to them and lay it in their laps

treatment, May God forgive the
“jimerow” Negro! He is more harm-

place of amusement, recreation ete.
It has no more right under Ohio law
te draw colorines than any other
purely public piace. And our people
can put a stop to it if they want to;
they have the Iaw on their side.
Why, in God's name, don't they use it

AS TO MURPHY’S “RACE IDEALS.”
Murphy in his “Race Ideals” tires
us some, it ts to be deplored that
whites who write on the Negro, ean-
not‘have contact and association with
other than the antebellum or common
classes. Had they, they might cover
the ground unerringly. Possibly hea-
then Negroes have a black ideal God.
But why Afro-Americans should have
a Colored God any more than Ger-
man-Americans, Irish-Americans, ete.,
etc. should have a God in some way |
Gistinetively racial, we cannot see,
‘The missionaries and evangelists |
Preach one God. And, if the Negro |
just as readily receives the teaching
as other nationalities, why should it
be construed to be a repudiation of
his race? Just as this new nation—
the Ameriean—recognizes the superi-
‘or long-established learning of the old,
and does not feel that it has reached
its ideal until it has finished up in
the old world, just so does the Negro
jrecognize the centuries of advantage
the whites have had over him; nor
oes his ideal fall short of an ac.
quirement of all of these. Forced seg-
regation cannot accomplish its object.
‘The classes are distinct. Do not
‘think because some Negroes who
have been forced into a “jim-crow”
‘car or run down Colored nelghborhood
have nothing to do with fellow pas-
sengers or neighbors, are trying to get
away from their race and “be white.”

with Democratic legislation against

JUDGE JULIAN W. MACK'S
BLUNDER.
Chicago, I, June 25, ‘12.
Editor Gazette, Dear Sir:—Your re
marks, last week, objecting to Judge
Mack's attempt to introduce segrega-
tion Into northern cities, are timely
and manly. What makes this matter
bad enough in its-self, from every
point of view,—the ethical, christian,
the “republican” (or “democratic”,
Which means government by the peo:
ple)—even worse for Judge Mack and
his supporters, is the fact that Mr.
Mack Is a Jew and a “liberal” one at
that! A Jew—member of a race,
which has drained the bitter cup of
persecution and segregation to the
dregs—proposing segregation along
the colorline, instead of exerting to
his utmost, energy and influence
AGAINST such an iniquity. IT 18
AMAZING! IT IS SHAMEFUL!
Some Jews should protest and loudly
at that. Jacob Egberth, (white.)

that a doctrine which sanctions the

THE CORY LECTURE.
The lecture given recently in the lecture room of Cory M. E. church, under the auspices of the Women's Auxiliary to the Human Society and Juvenile Court, was very successful. Probation officer of Pittsburg; Mrs. Shippen of the Home for Delinquent Boys of Virginia; Miss Latimer and Dr. Hart of the Russell Home of New York; Prof. North of Du Bois University and Mrs. Harper, presided over the court to the Human Society and Juvenile Court.
Dr. Hart, the first speaker, said that no interest in the community is so sacred—so valuable as that of the child. The community must sacrifice and struggle as does the parent to meet the needs of the child. He commended the placing of delinquent children in homes and not in institutions.
Miss Latimer said that malnutrition, physical infirmity and child labor are the greatest causes of most juvenile delinquency.
Mrs. Hamilton explained her work as probation officer. She has been a salaried officer of the Pittsburgh juvenile Court for four years. She spoke encouragingly and urged the work of the Cleveland organization. "We are judged by the submerged tent," she said.
"This is the century of child. The most vital movement of life is the studying for the betterment of the child. The whole attention of modern life is centered around the future and future is centered around the child. Work done for the child is the nation'sation." was the natural thought of Prof. North's remarks. Ms. Shippen and others spoke along the same lines. A silver offering was taken to aid the work of the Auxiliary and ice cream and cake was sold, netting about ten dollars. Rev. Bundy received the first prize and Rev. Sissle, the second. The prizes were awarded the pastors of the church having the largest membership in the organization. The first prize gift of the May Co.; and the second, a pair of gold cuff links, donated by Sigler Bros.; through the solicitation of C. L. Lacy. The committee raget that the illness of their corresponding secretary prevented the sending out of noticees to all of the churches.

An actor was recently asked to give
a recipe for a successful play, and
this was his reply. "There are two
ways of having a successful play.
One is to make money with it; the
other is not to lose money. There is
no sure recipe for the former. To
absolutely insure the latter—don't produce the play."

"I wish," said the slight and elegant Mrs. Fitzbob to her friend Mrs. Tigg, whose embonpont was striking, y handsome. "I wish I had some of your fat and you had some of my lean." "I'll tell you what is the origin of that wish," replied the fair wit, "you think too much of me, and too little of yourself."
Recovered Her Speech
After being speechless two years, as a result of a long illness, Miss Jesse Fishel, of New Orleans, instantly recovered her voice the other day when started by a vivid flash of lightning and a loud peal of thunder. Seventeen specialists in several cities had tried to restore her voice but with no success. Her father declares the recovery is the result of prayers offered constantly by the family. A big family celebration has been planned.

Middle-aged graduates of an acad

school days, says the Chicago Post
"What became of that red-headed
boy who was so afraid of the girls?"
asked one. "He has just been di
vored from his fourth wife," said
the graduate who had kept up with
the times.

THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and
Hair treatment is based on the lates
scientific and sanitary methods,
effectively promoting a growth of beautiful hair.
The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to that name; and I, alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary condition of hair gives the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the germs of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.

CANALS 1X ENSLAND
THEY ap ROR ORIGIN IN A
MATRIMONIAL. BISAPPOINT-
5 MENT.
The British system of artificial in-
land navigation, which Includes. sev-
eral thousand miles of canal, may be
said to have had its origin in a matrl
monial disappointment. ‘The duke of
Bridgewater, the orlginator of the sys-
tem, was engaged to be married just
after he had attained his majority. A
dispute arising between the couple,
the mateh was broken off. The duke's
chagrin changed the course of bis life.
He gave his first and last ball to the
London world of fashion and then bur-
fed himself among his coal flelds at
Worsley. Eschewlug the soclety of
women, he refused even to employ
them as servants in hls manor house.
Disappointed in marrying the most
beautiful woman in Englund, be de-
termined to unite by means of a canal
his coal flelds with Manchester, then
beginning {ts career as a manufac
turing town, In those days good roads
‘were the exceptions, bad roads the
rule. The cottons of Manchester and
the woolens of Leeds were conveyed
from place to place on pack horses,
which jogged along In single file. The
freight charge from Leeds to London
Was $63 a ton, When, the duke's canal
was finished the prices of coal and
other commodities in Manchester felt
onehalt,
‘The sugcess of this canal started
the duke to build one which would
connect Manchester with Liverpool.
To procure the funds he reduced his
personal expenses to £400 a year. So
straitened was he at thies that the
Lonsion bankers hesitated to discount
his note for £500. Sometimes when
“hard up" he would send his steward
‘upon a collecting tour among the ten-
antry of the ducal estates. The stew-
ard would ride from tenant to tenant,
Setting 25 here and. £10 there.
When he had collected money enough
he would return and pay the canal
laborers thelr weekly wages. In a

her departure the clerk discovered
that the dollar was a counterfelt.
He went hurriedly to the proprietor
and informed him of the fact,
“How about the ten cents,” asked
the proprietor—"is that good?”
“Yes, sir,” answered the clerk, “that

eee
Many of the New York dally papers
seem to favor the employment of ne-
groes In preference to foreign help in
the local hotels and restaurants. Un-
der the caption, "A Touch of Color,"
the Sun says;
“In not too distant days which
youngsters glibly dub simpler than the
time we live in, there were hotels that
were proud of their squads of black
Servants and black servants who were
proud of thelr service. Before the
Amerfean plan nn had become a mem.
ory in Fifth avenue and Broadway the
opening of the dining room was a
sight worth watehing. The head wait-
er, large and impressive, gloriously
self-conscious of his importance and
dignity, marchalled bis subordinates
with ell the care of a military com-
mander, marched them ts well drilled
ranks the length of the great roonr
and told them off to their stations like
a general assigning the captains of
his army. Perhaps there is an uncon:
taminated spot where that review and
drill is sill trezsured; where the
guest's hat ts cared tor by a specialist
who scoms the use of checks, who
never errs in restoring a man’s head
covering to him, and who himself
pockets the fees pis guardianship
earns.
“The black man as a waiter has al-
most disappeared from those places
that exploit thelr fazhionableness. At-
lantic City was long a stronghold of
those dark ard satisfactory: boys who
understood what was eald to them in
United States, and could make intelli-
Bible answer to the unlearned. But
the phrase white help exclusively is
found more and more frequently in
the asnouncements from that city of
hotels. The dining rcoms are cleared
of the darkles first; the bell boys
change color next; in a short time no
gleam of white in a stiling face of
ebony cheers the visitor, Perhaps
prejudice is responsible for the bleach-
ing of the servitors. No mprovement
in manners or attention accompanies
ft. The white waiters and boys are
not more respectful or willing than
their predecessors. ‘Their unfamfliar-
ity with the only language spoken by
an overwhelming majority of their pa-
trons makes for misunderstandings
‘Their impassivity fs Iargely a myth,
and even when it is displayed in per-
fection it is not more conducive to
gcod digestion than the easy grin and
wholesome chuckle of the nezro.
“One drawback there is in this
town to the employment of negroes in
eating plazes. New York is cursed
with a population of ‘professional
southerners,’ most of whom never saw
the south, who obirude themselves
whenever they find opportunity. These
exhibit thelr familiarity with polite
usages by blackgwarding black men
with a pair of ‘I know how to treat
fem; we had 500 on our plantation,
suh, befo" the wah. The b'ockguard:
Ing is done when It is ebvionciy safe
to Indulge In. We have seen south-
em gentlemen who ached to maim
these impostors, curlous excresoences
on urban life,
“Perhaps the astonishing strike that
now perturba the tavern keepers may
bring back the negroes to favor. If it
does the public will loze nothing by
the reappearance of a tribe that fash-
fon has exiled but that deserved better
treatment from a public long tended
skillfully and satisfactorily.”
DAIRY ITEMS.
Dehorn calves to be kept on the
farm by applying caustle potash In the
stick form to the horn button. Do the
work before the calf is a week old.
‘A distended udder 1s natural for the
cow at calving time, When the cow
freshens do not attempt to relieve the
udder of all the milk at once. MINK
her partially dry three or four times
eacls day for the first day or two.
Allow the calf to be fed by hana
to take its first meals fresh and
warm from the udder. It needs thie
milk in the naturel and warm form at
frst to start healthy digestive and
bowel operations. It can be taught to
drink just’ as well after running with
its mother couple of days.
Breed common cows to some goot
pure bred, registered dairy bull ot
known merit, This will give helfer
calves onehaif pure blood. Then
breed these grade helfers to a bull of
the same breed. This will give calves
three-quarters full blood. Continue
breeding in the same line without
change. In time you will have a herd
of grado animals that will be as good
producers as pure bred registered ant
mals.
Milking 1s more convenient when
all of the cows are stalled. By using
plenty of bedding, milking in stalls
jn summer is ag pleasant as milking
a the open lot. ‘The manure made
will be worth much. Screening doors
and windows of the dairy stable wil
make conditions more pleasant for
the cows and for the milkers. Spray-
ing the cows with fly repellant will
prevent decrease of milk during fy
time.
Af you must buy cows, put all of
your purchese money together and
purchase one extra good animal ratb
er than two or three common ones.
Money invested in a good dairy cow
will return good interest. while with
poor or eommon cows there 1s often
doubtful promt.
Tt is a good plan to feed the produ.
