The toy- HANKSGIVING day as it is now celebrated is a composite of the ancient Harvest festival, whose origins go back to the dim prehistoric beginnings of civilization, and of the solemn Puritan religious ceremony of thanksgiving. The joyous celebration of the gathering of the year's harvest, a day or week of feasting, song, dance and revel, is found in all ages and among all peoples. Thanksgiving days are also common to all religions, past and present, but they were not regular or periodical events—occurring generally after some victory of war. "The Puritans and the Pilgrims brought with them from England both the Harvest festival and the Thanksgiving days, the latter being observed whenever the deeply religious mind of the Puritan saw in their prosperity or good fortune the direct intervention of Providence. The Puritan also stripped the ancient Harvest festival of much of its rude license that had grown up around the celebration in England, and gradually through the two centuries following the settlement of New England, there grew up the practice of combining the two events and making the Thanksgiving annual. The religious element has been greatly subordinated as the years passed until at the present time it is to a majority of Americans only an incident that by many is observed only in the breach. To the stern old Puritan of almost three centuries ago, the Thanksgiving day of 1912 would seem little less than sacrilege so far as the thinkgiving feature of it is concerned. But he would understand and appreciate the day's feasting and revel as a part of the celebration of the Harvest festival. The difference is apparent in the records of the early settlement of America. The first thanksgiving service held in North America was observed with religious ceremonies conducted by an English minister in the year 1578 on the shores of Newfoundland. This clergyman, accompanied the expedition under Frobisher, settled the first English colony in America. The records of this significant day have been preserved in the quint rules and regulations of the expedition as follows: "In primus: To banish swearing, dice and card playing, and filthy communication, and to serve God twice a day with the ordinary service of the Church of England. On Monday morning, May 27, 1578, aboard the Ayde, we received all, the communication by the minister of Gravesend, prepared as good Christians toward God, and resolute men for all fortunes; and Maister Wolfall made unto us a goodly sermon, exhorting all especially to be thankful to God for His strange and marvelous deliverance in those dangerous places." The second record of a thanksgiving service in America is that of the Popham colony which settled at Sagadahoc on the Maine coast in 1607. It consisted of prayer and sermon as in the first instance. These were thanksgiving days pure and simple, and after the settlement of Plymouth many others of a similarly solemn religious nature occurred. The first Harvest festival held in America was upon December 13, 1621. It has been called, wrongly, the first autumnal thanksgiving held in America, but it was in reality the observance of the Harvest festival, with which the settlers had been acquainted in England. It was not a day set apart for religious worship and it is not likely that any religious service was held; on the contrary, it was the beginning of a whole week of festivity in celebration of the successful garnering of their first harvest in THE GAZETTE their new home. Gaintly does "Mourn's Relation" chronicle the event: "Our harvest being gotten in, our Governour sent foure men on fowling, so that we might achieve a more speciall manner rejoice together, after we had gathered the fruit of our labours; they foure in one day killed as much fowle, as with a little help beside, served the Company almost a wecke, at which time amongst other Recreations, we exercised our Armes, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and amongst the rest their greatest King Massasoyt, with some ninetie men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed Deere, which they brought to the plantation and bestowed upon the Captaine, and others. And although it be not always so plentiful, as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodness of God, we are so farre from want, that we often wish you partakers of our plentile." While the bill of fare of this first American celebration of the Harvest festival has not been preserved the feast was no doubt a royal one even if some of the food and the methods of preparation would seem strange and outlandish to present day Americans. The provisions must have been bountiful for there were about 140 persons including the 90 of Massachusetts company who were entertained for three days, and all had their share of supplies. From other sources we know that the foods of the sea were abundant and that the Pilgrims had made the acquaintance of the oyster. Ducks they had in plenty of the choicest species and also geese. Game, from grouse to venison, was brought in from the forest in abundance, and there was a "great store" of wild turkeys. Barley loaf and cakes of corn meal were highly THANKSGIVING "Have you cut the wheat in the blowing fields, The barley, the oats, and the rye, The golden corn and the pearly rice? For the winter days are nigh." "We have reaped them all from shore to shore, And the grain is safe on the threshing floor." "Have you gathered the berries from the vine, And the fruit from the orchard trees? The dew and the scent from the roses and thyn In the hive of the honey bees?" "The peach and the plum and the apple are ours And the honeycomb from the scented flowers." "The wealth of the snowy cotton field And the gift of the sugar cane, The savory herb and the nourishing root— There has nothing been given in vain." "We have gathered the harvest from shore to s And the measure is full and brimming o'er." "Have you gathered the berries from the vine, And the fruit from the orchard trees? The dew and the scent from the roses and thyme, In the hive of the honey bees?" "The peach and the plum and the apple are ours, And the honeycomb from the scented flowers." "The wealth of the snowy cotton field And the gift of the sugar cane, The savory herb and the nourishing root— There has nothing been given in vain." "We have gathered the harvest from shore to shore, And the measure is full and brimming o'er." Then lift up the head with a song! And lift up the hand with a gift! To the ancient Giver of all The spirit in gratitude lift! For the joy and the promise of spring, For the hay and the clover sweet, The barley, the rye, and the oats, The rice and the corn and the wheat, The cotton and sugar and fruit, The flowers and the fine honeycomb, The country, so fair and so free, The blessings and glory of home. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1912. prized by the colonists and played their part in the feast. For vegetables the Pilgrims had much the same as they had in England, Gov. Bradford's list naming beans, peas, parsnips, carrots, turnips, onions, melons, cucumbers, radishes, "skirts," beets, coleworts, and cabbages, in addition to wheat, rye, barley and oats. Besides these they had the indigenous squash and pumpkin, and it may be taken for granted that a careful Pilgrim housewife had possessed during the summer a quantity of gooseberries and "poke" Take it altogether, the food basis of the first Harvest Thanksgiving day celebration in America was much the same as today. But if the good housewife of today was obliged to prepare the thanksgiving feast with the utensils and inconveniences of the kitchen of three centuries ago she probably would throw up her hands in hopeless despair. The kitchen with its great glowing fire place was the housewife's domain and the general living room of the entire family. The walls and the floor were bare and the furniture meager and comfortless, while the kitchen furnishings were odd and strange. It was in this great cavernous chimney that the Pilgrim wife cooked her thanksgiving dinner. Placed high up in the yawning chimney was the heavy backbar or lug-hole, of green wood, afterwards displaced by the great iron crane. It was beyond reach of the flames, and from it hung a motley collection of hooks of various lengths and weights. They had many different names, such as pot-hooks, pot-hangles, pot-claws, pot-claws, trammels, crooks, hakes gallow-balke, words that would puzzle a housewife of today to define. From these were suspended the pots and kettles in which the food was cooked.

The utensils were mostly of iron, wood, pewter or latern ware. Glassware was practically unknown and bottles were made of leather. Wood played a great part in kitchen and tableware. Wooden trenchers from which two ate were used on the tables for a century after the settlement at Plymouth. Wood was also used for pans and bread troughs and a host of other things displaced by tin in the modern kitchen. Of wood were made butter paddles, salt cellars, noggins, keelers, rundlets, and many kinds of drinking bowls which were known under the names of mazers, whiskles, pliggins, tankards and kannes, words many of which have disappeared from use. The dining table of these old days was the old Anglo-Saxon board placed on trestles, and the tablecloth was known as the "board cloth." Thus we have the origin of the time-worn phrase: "Gather around the festive board." And the furnishings of the "board" were simple, inventories of that period mentioning only cups, chafing dishes, chargers, threnchers, salt cellars, knives and spoons. The table fork was an innovation not yet in general use; the fingers of the eater were used to thrust the food into the mouth. The spoons were of wood and pewter mostly. Silver spoons were rare. There was no chinaware on the tables of the early thanksgiving feasts; for no chinaware came over the Mayflower. That and the lack of glassware and silver would make a thanksgiving table of the seventeenth century house impossible to a household day. Complete the table by imagining large trenches, square blocks of wood hollowed out by hand, placed around the "board" from each of which two people giggled their food out with their fingers and you have an idea of the museum in which our ancestors celebrated Thanksgiving three centuries ago. But if the kitchen and table furniture would appear strange to a housewife of today some of the dishes served would appear even stranger. How many housekeepers of today can cook "suppawn" and "samp" from corn meal? Or bake manchet, simmels, cracknels, jannacks, cocket bread, cheat loaves, or "wasel" bread? "The colonists did not take kindly at first to the pumpkin, which in the pie form has become a distinctive feature of the modern thanksgiving feast. They called them "pomlons" then, and this is a aw-inspiring recipe from which the colonial housewife made "pomplon" pie: "Take a half pound of Pumpion and slice it, a handful of Tyme, a little Rosemary, Parley and sweet Marjoram slipped off the stalks, then the cinnamon, nutmeg and pepper, and six cabern, and beat them. Then mix them and them together and put in as much sugar as you see fit; then fry them like a froiz. After it is fried let it stand until it be cold. Take sliced apples, rounde wounds, and lay a row of the froize and a layer of apples with currents betwix the layer while your pie is fitted, and put in a good deal of sweet butter before you close it. When the pie is baked take six yolks of eggs, some white wine or Vergis and make a candle of this, but not too thick. Cut up the lid and put it in. Stir them well together whilst the eggs and the pomplons be not perceived and serve it up." Thus saith the old cook book, and the modern housewife who faithfully follows this recipe can have at least a unique concoction, fearfully and wonderfully made, to grace her Thanksgiving table. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Dr. P. A. Johnson, ex-president of the National Medical association, and who served three terms as chairman of the executive committee, is of the opinion that the south is destined to be a great field for efficient colored doctors and surgeons. This conclusion was formed while he was attending the recent session of the National Medical association at Tuskegee institute, Alabama, when he participated in the interesting clinics and came in contact with the physicians and surgeon of the south, whose efficiency was in the nature of a revelation to him. Dr. Johnson became so deeply interested in one of the cases during the session of the National Medical association that he is treating the patient by mail, although the case is an aggravated one. The patient is a sixteen-year-old gold who lives about 30 miles from Tuskegee. For ten months she has been under the care of a doctor who was treating her for pulmonary tuberculosis. An examination by Dr. Johnson showed that she had Bright's disease. Emaciated and weighing only a few pounds, the sick girl has not been able to sleep in bed for five months for fear of smothering to death. Since she was given medical aid at Tuskegee institute her condition is much improved. The need of additional capable doctors in the south is further emphasized by Dr. Johnson in relating a case in which a male patient, fifty years old, was being treated for indigestion when an examination by doctors attending the session of the National Medical association showed that he was suffering with the enlargement of the heart. Dr. Johnson was shocked to find that in many parts of the south no record is kept of the death of a negro, a condition he did not think existed anywhere in the United States. It is commonly reported that the number of mulattoes is decreasing, and observation in the south tends to confirm that view, but the census returns show an increase for the country generally. Among mulattoes are included all persons except full blood negroes, who show any trace of negro blood. In 1910 the census enumerated 9,827,763 negroes of whom 2,050,696 or 20.9 per cent. were reported as mulattoes. In 1830 there were counted 7,488,676 negroes of whom 1,132,060 or 15.2 per cent. were reported as mulattoes. In 1870 there were counted 4,880,000 negroes of whom 584,049 or 12 per cent. were reported as mulattoes. This showing of a steady increase would be alarming but for the accompanying suggestion that it does not necessarily mean a growing intermixture of whites and negroes, and that it may be accounted for by a growing intermixture of mulattoes and full blood negroes, and the marriages between mulattoes is increasing, it may still be true that fewer children are born of pure white and black parents than formerly. From the southern point of view it is encouraging to find that the comparison of states shows relatively fewer mulattoes where the negro population is densest. In New England, the east north central, and in the Pacific states about one-third of the negroes are reported as mulattoes, while a general average of about twenty per cent. is the estimate. It is strange that the average writer on this subject never reckons with the fact that marriages between mulattoes increases the number of mulattoes—Macon Telegraph. The negro soldier has demonstrated his ability to serve with less loss of time from active duty by reason of sickness than the white enlistment. According to the annual report of Surgeon General George H. Torney, made public today, the non-effective rate of the colored soldier was 25.88, while that of the white soldier was 33.60; the Porto Rican 29.78, and the Filipino 18.86. The report likewise shows that the white troops required the highest average number of days treatment for each case of disability. The Porto Rican had the highest rate for admissions to hospitals and for deaths and the colored troops the highest rate for discharge.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY SINGLE COPY MAN CULLINGS "Have you a man to take care of our farm?" "We wish a young woman to teach domestic science in our city school?" "We need skilled mechanics to teach carpentry, wheelwrighting, and blacksmithing?" "Negro nurses, men and women, are in great demand here in our town." There are some of the many calls that assail the principal of Tuskegee institute at all seasons of the year. It is reasonably so. The change of the trend of education among both white and black; the increase of wealth and courage to venture into business among negroes; the higher and higher esteem into which the skilled negro workmen are rising—all make this call louder and more general. At Tuskegee Institute some 30 odd of these industries are taught. There are millinery, dressmaking, ladies' tailoring, upholstering and mattress-making, domestic science, laundering and gymnastics for girls; there are shoemaking, tailoring, wheelwrighting, carpentry, cabinet making, tinsmithing, printing, harness making, mechanical and architectural drawing, mechanical, electrical and steam engineering for boys; and there are dairying, swine raising, truck farming, poultry raising, stock raising, floriculture, landscape gardening, veterinary science, fruit growing and many other branches of industry, both mechanical and agricultural trades for both boys and girls. This again is the modern trend of things. Therefore let no one halt at the idea of young women entering the agricultural trades. Moreover, experience and experiments at Tuskegee institute are demonstrating that the young woman is just as apt and able a pupil with the machinery in the creamery, with the science of feeds in the poultry yard, with packing and handling fruit in the orchard as she is with grammatical syntax in the class room, and just as quick and aggressive as her young man classmate, to whom time and prejudice have hitherto restricted these trades. The colored man that proposed a negro flag has certainly lost his bearings. And he is said to be a bishop, too. Well, whoever he is, he has a right to his private opinions, about what printout, but when he breaks into print with the object of influencing and teaching he should be cautious. Of course no harm follows, but it makes the race appear silly and foolish. How is it possible to get a flag under the conditions? Flags stand for something. We think the bishop would be ashamed if he was driven to the possible source of his flag getting. The Africans, apparently, have not worried themselves about what banner they essayed their wars under, or cultivated their fields in peace. Perhaps he would not be ashamed of the source of his extraction, but ashamed of the actual banner if they had any. The art of manufacturing cloth did not spring up in our portion of Africa. It would be too bad to hark back to the Garden of Eden in the hopes of finding a vestige of cloth sufficient for a flag design—Indianapolis Freeman. A man who lives right and is right has more power in his silence than another has by his words. Character is like bells which ring out sweet music, and which, when touched, accidentally even, resound with sweet music.—Phillips Brooks. At the recent meeting of the Negro Business League the most striking story of financial success was that of Watt Terry, a young negro, who in 1900 went from Virginia to Brockton, Mass., with a capital of 15 cents. He worked as coachman, Janitor, porter and shoemaker, and finally became a real estate broker. In the last named occupation his success has been so great that at the present time he reports that his income ranges from $6,000 to $7,000 a month. One great value of initiative is the conquering of fear. Through all history we find that those that have accomplished things lived above fear. Fear of adverse criticism, fear of hardship, fear of failure, all were lost in a supreme effort to share with their fellow men the gifts entrusted to them.—Blanche Blessing. Talents are best nurtured in solitude; character is best formed in the stormy billow of the world.—Goethe. Have it a fixed principle that getting into any scornful way is fatal to the best that is in you.—Bushnell. The world always judges a man (and rightly too) by his little faults, which he shows a hundred times a day, rather than by his great virtues, which he discloses perhaps but once in a lifetime and to a single person.—Lowell.

TIDAL WAVE KILLS MANY DEVASTATES TOWNS AS HURRICANE LEVELS VILLAGES. Torrential Rains Wash Away Roads and Bridges and Cause Other Damage on Jamaica Island Kingston, Jamaica.—The partial restoration of wire communication throughout the island brought the news that a great tidal wave had practically wiped out the town of Savanna La Mar on the southwest coast and the town of Lucea on the northwest coast of the island and that more than 100 persons had been killed by the hurricane in Montego Bay. The latter report was confirmed later by a dispatch from Port Antonio, where a steamer had arrived with the same news. The hurricane swept over the island for three days, accompanied by continuous and torrential rain. Many great banana plantations were ruined, roads and bridges washed away and much damage done to all manner of industries. The railroads were heavy sufferers, but have managed to effect temporary repairs. When news of the loss of life and damage reached Kingston a special train was at once made up and started for the scene. The governor of the island took personal charge of the expedition. A detachment of artillery was taken along, together with 300 tents and a quantity of provisions. Houses were blown down in large numbers in various sections of the islands and many persons are homeless. It was feared that there will be looting and for that reason artillery was sent to the scene. Lucea is a town of 2,000 inhabitants on an inlet on the northwest coast of Jamaica, while Savanna La Mar is a seaport with about the same population, on the southwest coast, almost directly across the island. HUNTER RIDDLES FAGES OFTWO Becomes Infuriated When Auto in Which Couple Were Riding Runs Over His Hound. Erie, Pa.—Infuriated when their automobile ran over his hound near Walnut Creek, 14 miles west of Erie, Lloyd D. Pastorious, 25, fired both barrels of a shotgun at Mr. and Mrs. William Forster and their chauffeur, George Keller. Mr. and Mrs. Forster were less than ten feet away when Pastorious fired and the charge from both barrels struck them full in the face. The side of Mrs. Forster's face was practically town away and Mr. Forster's face and head were riddled by the shots. Keller was not seriously injured. Mr. and Mrs. Forster were hurried to the Hamet hospital. Their condition is very critical. Chauffeur Keller, as soon as the shots were fired, jumped from his seat and started after the hunter who ran away but wheeled around and, holding Keller at bay with his gun, said he had been firing at the injured dog and did not intend to shoot Mr. and Mrs. Forster. He then turned and ran down the road. Pastorious was arrested. He will be held pending the outcome of the injuries of his victims. Start War on Drug Frauds. Washington, D.

The campaign is directed against medical concerns and doctors. The pre-arranged plan for the arrests were carried out over 22 states and in nearly 200 cities in the United States.

Editor. We are pleased to note that the "white slave" law has reached out to save a woman of the race who came or was brought to Cleveland from Canada via Detroit, in recent weeks. Our contemporaries will please note this fact. --- In a most fortunate interview in a local daily paper, last week, Hon. Henry T. Eubanks, who it seems has ceased selling stock for the Douglass Insurance Co. (defunct), said, among other things: "The need of a hotel for Negroes is becoming more urgent in Cleveland, every year. There is almost no public place left that will receive Negroes." This last sentence is not true, and even if it was, a member of the race ought to be the last person in the world to be heralding it through the columns of the local daily papers. Even Eubanks ought to know this. The statement going the rounds of the race press to the effect that local Afro-American property-holders were anxious to help furnish bail for Jack Johnson has absolutely no foundation in truth and is wholly the output of a sensational-craving local daily paper, aided by the southern-sympathizing and controlled Associated Press. What a pity that such men as C. J. Crawford who is responsible for the "rot" referred to in the foregoing, and H. T. E.ubanks, cannot realize how very harmful to our people in this community, are such misstatements as they fathered in the local daily press, last week. Senator James K. Vardaman of Mississippi, lectured in the city, last week, could not resist the ever present inclination to strike the Negro a vitally injurious body-blow. Although he was announced to speak on "The Power of Public Control," he digressed long enough to discuss the "black Peril," as he termed it; advocated the repeal of the fifteenth amendment to the U. S. constitution, and the formation of a U. S. commission to handle "the Negro problem in the south." What is really needed is a commission of some kind, that will place a bridle on the mouths of such southern blatherskites as Vardaman, Tillman, Dixon, Heflin and their stripe. We often wonder if our people have any real good idea as to how very harmful these men are, when lecturing in this section of the country. ```markdown ``` There is absolutely no truth in the dispatch of Nov. 18, to the daily papers, alleged to have been received by cable from Melbourne, Australia which stated that the police had been called out—in that far off country—to protect an American Negro minister trumpet in the city of Melbourne, because some of the members of the company had been seen walking with a white woman; that the government "might" take steps to have the minstrel deported because of an alleged "intense feeling" against Negroes as a result of "Jack Johnson's episodes in Chicago." This is but one of the many lies that have been so freely circulated in recent weeks by the American press with the help of the Associated Press, for the purpose of increasing prejudice against the race in this country. What a pity it is that we have no way of striking back in the American press (white) or of stopping these malicious attacks. THOMPSON'S LITTLE "JOKELET." The Cleveland Journal may be revived by N. D. Brascher, W. T. Blue, John P. Green and others. Cleveland ought to be able to support two race papers.—R. W. Thompson, a correspondent, in the Pensacola (Fla.). Scr No danger! They have had quite enough. "Noonady" Brasher "was roosed de town" a year or so age and is, goodness knows where. There are many here in Cleveland who wish much, very much indeed, to see him. We wish "Cleveland" could "support" ONE race paper. In the thirty years we have been publishing The Gazette members of the race have started another paper, on an average, nearly, of every two years, and have gained an experience that has "hold all of them for awhile." They have never repeated the experiment, either, brother, is a wish, father to the thought you expressed in the Sentinel! It would seem so. Again We Say Subscribe for THIS PAPER "JACK" REARRESTED! After Being Released on Ball—$USD for $1500 paid—Bonds- $700,000 paid—Perscription CHICAGO, Ill.—Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight pugilist, accused of violation of the Mann white slave act, was released from custody Nov. 15 before Judge Carpenter in the U. S. district court in bonds of $30,000. The sureties accepted the pugilist's bail and the pugilist'shew S. Baldwin (white), real estate dealer, "Jack" was taken to the county jail Nov. 8 and had made many efforts to regain his freedom. As he was leaving the federal building he was arrested on a charge of having attacked a newspaper photographer when he was entering the county jail. The pugilist was taken to a police station, his appeal appeared in court, and later the photographer filed a suit asking for $10,000 damages from Johnson. Baldwin claims—so the daily papers say—that he received a fee of $750 for going on "Jack's" bond, and that "Jack" agreed to pay a private detective, employed by him, to be with "Jack" day and night unimpeded in his apartment on Nov. 16, "sounds fishy." On Nov. 16, "Jack" visited U. S. S. District Attorney Jas. H. Wilkinson in an effort to stop the prosecution which now about amounts to persecution. The case will amount to nothing, in the end, anyhow. On Nov. 14, Albert C. Jones (white), a real estate dealer, who signed $30,000 bail, was sentenced to one year in jail for contempt of court by Federal Judge Lan dis. Reason and Justice vs. Prejudice. Reason and Justice vs. Prejudice. Editor Chicago Daily News—Dear Sir: Let us consider the matter fully before reaching a conclusion; why should intelligent men and women permit the demon prejudice to paralyze their reasoning power? Is it not a Johnson's saloon and cafe without his solicitation? If the place and its inhabitants had not been up to her standard, or according to her liking, would she have remained? And if she remained rather than offend, why did she make repeated visits later? If any one is guilty of forcing the girl to do anything illegal, then they should be punished according to the governors' order. For her associates Johnson does not add to her offense one bit, and, if they are satisfied with their relations, providing they do not break the law as it now stands, then we, the people that make the laws, should be satisfied, since our laws have been kept. But if they have been violated, then prosecution should take place, and penalty accorded to them. If any and all persons guilty of breaking them. This justice will have been done and every one will be satisfied. The black race is no more pointed that Jack Johnson should be pointed out as its ideal type of moral or mental man than the white race is that Lucile Cameron (or the Schreiber woman) should be pointed out as its ideal type of more or more mature woman. If any and all persons guilty of Miss Cameron's beauty and Mr. Johnson's blackness, Personally, I think they are devoting quite a bit of valuable space to people who have nothing more than immorality, beauty and blackness. In conclusion, I wish to say if the good people of any and every race wish to get away from vice, let us get together, put our trust in them, and make things necessary for better development of morals is the forbidding of the housing of saloons, dance halls, cafes and hotels under one roof and management. PAUL E. JOHNSON. Jack Freed on Abduction Charge. Jack Freed on abduction Charge. CHICAGO, Ill., Nov. 15.—A charge of abduction against Jack Johnson was dismissed before Municipal Judge Hopkins today, because of the prosecution's inability to prove that Lucille Cameron (white), whose association with Johnson led to his arrest, had been abducted by him. That the U. S. Supreme Court will dismiss the case taken to it last week, is now daily expected. Where He Was. The mayor of a small town was trying an Afro-American for abusing his wife. She claimed he got drunk and tried to beat her and she hit him. The mayor turned to their little girl and asked: "Girl, was your father under the influence of whiskey when your mother hit him?" "No, sah. He was under the kitchen table," she quickly replied—National Monthly. The Chicago Live Stock Show. Mr. W. R. Goodwin, managing editor of the Breeders' Gazette, Chicago, in speaking of the International Live Stock Exposition, which will this year be held from Nov. 30th to Dec. 7th, said: "I have seen more of the great stock shows and fairs in America in the past thirty years than any other man, and I ought to be somewhat case-hardened; but the "International" annually fills me with awe. I approach each exhibition of the concomitate triumph of the breeder's art and knowledge, and may become indifferent to the roar of Niagara, but I do not see how any man can fall to find new instruction and inspiration in each of these show."

Prominent Englishmen Honor the Memory of the Race's Greatest Composer—An "Appreciation." London. Eng.—In memory of the late Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and to furnish funds for the wife and two young children of the famous composer, a big concert was given in Albert Hall on Friday, Nov. 22, when the largest choir, numerically, has ever appeared in the hall sang. The program was made up exclusively of the dead composer's compositions, and there were three choirs, Sir Fred Mason, Sir Charles Standford and Mr. Landon Ronald. The first part consisted of orchestral items, and the second part of "Hiawata's Wedding Feast" and "The Death of Minneaha." Among the prominent men identified with the movement were the Earl of Pembroke (president), Col Herbert A. Walters, Sir Hubert Parry, Sir Frederick Cowen, D. McNaughty the Earl of Shaftesbury, the Earl of Plymouth, Lot, J. C. H. P. Lloyd, M. P. Sir Walter Parr, Sir George Martin, Sir A. Camp bell Mackenzie, Sir Henry Wood, Dr. Walford Davies, Dr. Hartford Lloyd W. Boosey, A. Boosey, Alfred Littleton, Augustus Littleton, Algernon Ashon and Edward German. An Appreciation of Mr. Taylor Those of us who knew Mr. Coleridge-Taylor best are just beginning to realize that it is really true that our eminent composer has passed to the great beyond. When the news came from London on October 14, Mr. Coleridge-Taylor had died the day before we could not believe that this master of only 37 years was no more. But, alas, it is too true! I believe that Mr. Coleridge-Taylor's life and work meant more to young Negro than to young white in America than can be told in words. That his life was an insolation to me is putting it mildly. n o g n . t s n e O e . s v e x h o u t . n . k . i THE BANJOER Clarence Cameron White My acquaintance with Mr. Coleridge Taylor dates back to my student days at Oberlin (1896-1900), when I received from him a number of his violin compositions and a very kind letter saying that Mr. Frederick Loudon, who was then in London, had spoken to him of me. It is useless for me to say how eagerly I practiced those compositions and how many, many Yield of a Grain of Wheat Very few people have an idea of the bounty of nature. A scientist of Cambridge, Eng., recently made an instructive experiment which showcethat a single grain of wheat sown in June, produced 47 pounds 7 ounces. One acre of fairly good land will produce 30 bushels of wheat or 1,200 pounds of flour.

Producing Optimism times I read and re-read that letter. On the occasion of Mr. Coleridge-Taylor's first visit to America I had the honor of playing with him for the first time in America his "African Dances," and then was formed a friendship that lasted till the time of his death. During my two years' private privilege to be his pupil in Thessaloniki to play in the famous "String Players Club," of which he was then the conductor. As Landon Ronald, the famous English conductor, says in the London Daily Telegraph of September 3d, "Mr. Coleridge-Taylor was in every sense a gentleman and was ever ready to give a helping hand, and had a gift for everybody." He was one of the most famous men been my lot to meet. And so it was I knew him. In his home he was always the devoted husband and father. How well I remember many delightful walks we had about both London and Croydon, where he lived. Only a few weeks ago I received a long letter from him telling of his new works and his experiences. He was the past season, and how he was looking forward to his early autumn work. As both friend and teacher I found him a man of great personality and one who, of goodness of his heart, was ever ready with encouraging words and helpful suggestions. He had a keen sense of humor and always enjoyed a good story. Those he cherished over the years his cheerful smile and affable manners it was indeed a blessing to know him and count him as a friend. Coleridge-Taylor will live as long as there is a boy or girl with Negro blood in his or her velus who has the "spirit of song" in his or her heart, and his life and achievements will be a beacon light to all who have the ambition to go on and accomplish what he is in which he was such a glorious star. CLARENCE CAMERON WHITE, Boston, Mass Chicago Honors Mr. Taylor Chicago, Ill.—Dr. Charles E. Bentley, one of the foremost leaders of the race, was the principle speaker Nov. 10 at the memorial exercises under the auspices of the Choral Study Club at Institutional Church, where the life and character of the late Samuel Coleridge-Taylor was etu logized. The church was filled with Chicago's most representative business and professional men and women. One of the best literary and musical programs ever heard in this city was rendered on this occasion; each number was taken from some of the famous works of the noted composer. Among the artists were: Harrison Emmannuel, Daniel Protheroe Mrs. Martha B. Anderson, Mrs. Mavine Marshall and the Cheral Study Club under the direction of Walter E. Gossett. Miss Gertrude Jackson was the organist. At the close of the program the following temporary officers were selected to make the memorial an annual occasion: Pedro Tinsley, president; Dr. Charles E. Bentley, secretary; James S. Madden, treasurer. A man slightly under the influence of licor strolled into the art gallery, wandered about aimlessly for a while and stationed himself in front of a painting of several mermaids half submerged in water. He regarded this picture intently for perhaps a half hour. Then he walked over to an attendant and said: "Shay, ole fellow, what time doesh tide go out, ary-way?" Humane French Burglar. Humane burglaries broke into the shooting box of M. Lindet, president of the Paris Law society, at Fosse Mousson and after ransacking the place carefully destroyed traps and snares for animals which they found there. On a wall where the traps had been hanging they scrawled the words: "Be kind to animals or else we will return." No Chance to Hold a Goat-Getting. Some time ago a Mexican stepped into a Herington grocery store and was very wryly when he discovered that some other Mexican had been getting groceries charged to him, relates the Herington Sun. "Why don't you get his goat?" suggested the grocer. "He got no goat," replied the Mexican. "He not even got a dog."

To the responsibility: Oh, Liberty, how sweet the name! What wonders have been wrought by thee; A race oppressed so long a time, Gave Washington, through Liberty. A Douglas too, and men renowned. Whose peers are very few indeed; Let's awaken then—prove to the world, That Liberty is all we need. All that we need for greater strides, Along the line of true progress; All that we need to reach the goal, The last milestone of sheer success. Some time, some place, they'll understand, All who believe that God is good; Some day they'll see and recognize The universal brotherhood. On this day the day we keep and own. Let's thank the God, through whom we're free; Beseech, and trust. His wondrous love That gave to us our Liberty! Oh, race of mine, awake, arise! Shake off the scales of lethargy; And let the world know that we stand For manhood, and for Liberty. Again, review those darkened days, The time, the source that made us free; All praise to him, who without lack, Through Lincoln, gave us Liberty W. Wallace Needham, in Zanesville (O.) Advocate "WISDOM'S CALL" REVIEWED. In his latest book, "Wisdom's Call," Dr. Sutton H. Griggs has found and offers to the American a solution and a remedy for the southern problem which cannot fail to be eminently satisfactory to all. His solution and remedy antagonize the interests of neither race but is in complete harmony with the American, cold, well known facts which are everywhere observable and must be observed. Dr. Griggs takes for his premises simple facts—facts that you have no desire to deny. Then with the wisdom of a philosopher, and delft analysis of a psychologist and the unerring mercillness of a Logician, he partly leads on, but gives you no desire out of which you have no desire to escape. You simply wonder why a thing so self-evident had not before by you been seen. As an unmistakable panacea for all the ill growing out of the southern problem—be they religious, financial, political or social—this book cannot fail to be a success. It needs only to be read in order to understand mission work a man in America can do is to read this book himself and then pass it on. It is the book that will give the American people permanent relief from all phases and conditions of the problem. It contains 153 pages, is well printed on good paper, and has a beautiful leatherette cover. It is also added for postage, to the Orion Publishing Co., East Station, Nashville, Tenn. Thanks to the Cartoonist Party emblems that figure on ballets represent the more serious purposes and type the traditions of various political followings; but the emblems that the cartoonists and humorists have established are the more popular, because they represent that cheerful mood in which a majority of persons attack politics without abandoning the earnest aim that underlies its manifestations.-Judge Science and Death "Even in the face of the inexorable law of death," says the Lancet, "science still has a consoling message. It can hold out the hope that one day the ravages of disease may so far be eliminated that death will be nothing more than a quiet and painless phenomenon. It will cease to be feared, and come even to be desired as a fitting close to a weary day." Specialists Recommend Yawning. In the opinion of learned specialists no one can be healthy unless he or she does a certain amount of yawning.

"Weren't you afraid to go downstairs in the dark last night?" asked a woman of her little son recently. "Yes, I was a little afraid," answered the boy.

THE SOUTH'S SEPARATE SCHOOL SYSTEM The recent complaint of our people of Richmond, Va., that the separate schools conducted for them by the white board of education there, prevented their children from acquiring training in the commercial school of that city, calls attention to the recent inquiry and reports of Atlanta, Ga., University, on the separate school system of the south which are causing considerable adverse criticism upon the part of many fair daily papers and magazines published in the north, particularly in the east. The scope of the inquiry was wide, information coming from the following sources; annual reports of the U. S. Commissioner of Education:/ State school reports, past and present; replies of city superintendents to certain questions; and replies of teachers and educators in all parts of the South. A large part of the university's work, of course, was with enrollment obtained from all the Southern states and compared with the authentic statistics of the past, the comparison yielding the following important conclusion: That there has been in recent years no marked increase in the average daily attendance of Negro children in the public schools. That the percentage of Negro children of school age enrolled in the public schools has decreased in the last twenty years. That without doubt the proportion of Negro children in average daily attendance in the public schools has greatly decreased in the last decade and in the last two decades. The nub of these three conclusions is that no serious attempt is being made in the South to offer to all degrees of proper age an opportunity for education. As a matter of fact, a still stronger statement might be made without fear of contradiction, vis: that in many parts of the South there is deliberate effort to keep the Negro from getting an education. In most Southern states, it should be remembered, there is a dual system of schools, involving separate schools for whites and Negroes. And in most Southern states, as might be expected, the larger sums of money are spent on the white schools irrespective of the number of persons they are supposed to benefit. Here are a few typical figures: South Carolina. 1900— Cost of Schools Age (5-18, 1989-9) White ... $1,590,732.51 ... 201,968 Negro ... 308,153.16 ... 316,007 Alabama, 1909— White ... $2,143,662.15 ... 364,266 Negro ... $2,143,645.43 ... 311,552 North Carolina, 1908— White ... $1,851,376.57 ... 437,376 Negro ... 366,734.28 ... 232,624 A little mathematics make it clear that if the Negro schools of South Carolina had been held in the same respect as the white schools, they would have cost about $3,000,000 instead of $300,000; in Alabama they would have cost $1,$330,000 instead of $287,000; in North Carolina, $1,000,000 instead of $367,000. And it may be further stated that there appears to be similar discrimination in Virginia, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas. The showing in Kentucky and Maryland and Tennessee is slightly better, and fairly decent in Texas and Missouri. The per capita cost of education, the amount of money spent on each child in the white schools and in the Negro schools make some interesting and instructive reading. Here are a few figures taken at random: Other statistics bearing on the general situation show that Negro school-houses are cheaper in every way, have smaller amounts spent on them for repairs and that teachers in the Negro schools are paid much lower salaries than teachers in the white schools. Mention has been made of the dual school system. The continuation of this system is perhaps made necessary by local conditions, but the great difficulty in a proper administration of it lies in the fact that in very few of the southern states is there any attempt to give the Colored people a voice in the direction of their own schools. Superintendents and teachers are usually chosen by the white voters and lack of intelligent supervision is plainly apparent. In fact, Negro schools are often absolutely neglected. And all this in 'ace of the fact that the Negroes in most States are paying an educational tax that brings in more money than is spent on their schools. 1. That the overwhelming majority of Negro children of school age are not in schools. 2. That the chief reason for this is the lack of school facilities; and a further reason is the poverty and ignorance of the parents. 3. That the Negro children who are in school are as a rule poorly taught by half prepared and poorly paid teachers and through short terms of three to six months a year. 4. That the school houses and equipment for Negro schools are for the most part wretched and inadequate. 5. That the Negro schools as a rule receive little or no helpful superintendence from the school authorities. 6. That the result and apparently one of the objects of disfranchisement has been to cut down the Negro school fund, bar out competent teachers, lower the grade and efficiency of teachers and enable teachers in the Negro schools those willing tools who do not and will not protest or complain. 7. That in the attempt to introduce much needed and valuable manual and industrial training there has been introduced into the curriculum of the Negro common school a mass of illiterate teachers who have overburdened the teacher and pushed into the background the vital studies of reading, writing and arithmetic. In a large measure this has been done with the avowed object of training Negroes as menials and laborers and cutting them off from the higher avenues of life. 8. That the forward movement in education in the South during the last century has almost entirely to white people. The movement for local school taxes, better high schools, consolidation of schools and transportation of children has with small exception been encouraged and made possible among the whites and not among the Negroes. In many cases the Negroes have not been involved in the movement of white school facilities, while their own schools have not been allowed to share in these improvements. 9. That along with this curtailment of elementary public education for Negroes has gone a tendency to decry the work of those schools which are devoted to the higher training of ricula, to cut off Northern benevolence and increase the supply of intellectual leaders for the Negro race.

Miss Eugenia Ballard had the pleasure of witnessing a performance of "Everywoman" at the Colonial one evening last week, as the guest of a local publication. She was the winner of two of the best seats offered as a prize for the title to a place in one of its recent issues.

Siddall, attorney-at-law; Fred H. Goff, president Cleveland Trust Company; Rev Gilbert P. Jennings, pastor St. Joseph's Episcopal Church; Euclid Ave. temple, and F. W. Steffen, secretary Cleveland Federation of Labor. We should have one member of that commission. Our leading people in this community should beware—a "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. stranger has drifted into the city from "New York" or elsewhere and is quietly at work. Our people should remember the recent experience of the city's other cities where "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. as quickly resulted in "jim crow" or separate schools and many other color lines that were not in existence in those communities before the establishment of the "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. This latter is invariably urged, that it may furnish jobs to "jim crow" Negroes, who would forst any iniquity upon the race in order that they could "live" in the a tin can to the coat-tail of the "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. Negro and send him to join "Noonday" Brasher in innocuous desuctue, which may mean Columbus, or any other old place in central or southern Ohio. The first round a victory!

Washington The immense volume of business of the department of agriculture in educating the farmer will be demonstrated by Secretary Wilson in his annual statistics, which will show that in the last year the department mailed 34,000,000 pieces of documents and other printed matter. --- The official "bellwether" of the national house, Representative John A. M. Adair of Indiana, will be supplanted in the next house. His office will be gone when Representative J. W. Abercrombie of Alabama takes his seat, for Mr. Abercrombie, alphabetically, will take precedence of the Indiana Democrat. In an epoch-making decision in the so-called "bathut trust" case, the Supreme court of the United States laid down the broad principle that there can be no monopoly in the unpatented product of a patented machine without violating the Sherman anti-trust law. At the request of the German government, Secretary MacVeggh of the treasury department postponed until December 20 the date of enforcing the proposed countervailing duty on split peas and flour from Germany. Colonel Goethals, chairman of the Isthmian canal commission, submitted his annual report, which indicated that the canal will be completed within the next twelve months. One of the most important moves in recent years to prepare a national militia for use in time of war is proposed in letters addressed by Acting Secretary Oliver to the governors of all the states and territories, inviting their co-operation in the war college plans for the organization of the militia into twelve divisions. Arthus L. Edington, Earl A. McGowan and John J. Boles, constituting the government board of appraisers of the surface value of the 450,000 acres of valuable coal and asphalt land belonging to the Chocatw and Chickasaw Indians in Oklahoma, have telegraphed their resignation to the president. Their action, which will be followed by the creation of a new board, follows an investigation of detailed charges filed with the interior department at Washington. Domestic Edward Smythe and James E. Ray of Peoria, Ill., two of the forty-five defendants in the "dynamite conspiracy" trial, were placed in jail in Indianapolis because their bondsmen withdrew the security on which the men had been at liberty. A masked maniac, armed with an internal machine containing a large quantity of dynamite, a bottle of nitroglycerin and a 45-caliber revolver, held the occupants of the Los Angeles (Cal.) Central police station at bay for an hour and created a panic among hundreds in adjacent buildings and streets. A commission of five alienists who examined John Schrank, who shot Theodore Roosevelt, reported to Judge Backus in Milwaukee finding Schrank insane. Decision of the doctors was unanimous and means that Schrank cannot be tried for the attempted murder of Roosevelt, but will be committed to an insane asylum. Oliver Akin, former member of the Oklahoma legislature, who was being returned to Cleveland, Okla. from Los Angeles, where he was arrested several days ago on a charge of forgery, jumped from a train in the suburbs of Amarillo, Tex. and escaped. The first annual road congress of the American Association for Highway Improvement opened in Washington with delegates present from all parts of the country. Trial of John H. Patterson and twenty-nine other officials or former officials of the National Cash Register company of Dayton, Ohio, charged with violation of the criminal section of the Sherman anti-trust act, began at Cincinnati, Ohio. James B. McNamara's purpose to explode a bomb under Miss Mary C. Dye, a woman stenographer employed by the Iron Workers' union, "because she knew too much," was related at the "dynamite conspiracy" trial by Frank Eckhoff. Ray McManaway, Harry Kobel and Elmer Dillavou were indicted by the grand jury for participating in the riotous attack on the Walker opera house in Champaign, Ill. October 19. The grand jury returned 25 true bills in all. The Louisiana state railway commission in a report holds Mark Cunningham, a flagman, responsible for the wreck on the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley railroad by which 15 persons were killed. Two girls and five men were rescued from the North silver mine, near Frisco, Utah, after 14 hours' entombment 300 feet below the surface of the ground by an explosion and during their imprisonment the rescue runners worked in 15-minute shifts. "Gyp the Blood," "Lefty Louie," "Dago Frank" and "Whitey" Lewis killed Herman Rosenthal, the gambler at the instigation of Police Lieutenant Charles Becker, and like him must pay the penalty of death in the electric chair. The jury in New York city so decided when it returned against them a verdict of murder in the first degree after but twenty minutes of deliberation. Two members of a wedding party at Greenwood, Del., were shot by serenaders. Martin Willey, forty-two years old, a prominent resident of the place, probably will die. The other victim, John Collins, a young farmer, is in a critical condition. Six train men were killed and six others were badly injured in a head-on collision between the northbound and southbound Florida-Cuba specials on the Seaboard Air Line railway, Narilina, N. C. --- The circuit court of Cuyahoga county, Ohio, by a unanimous decision, has rendered a verdict of guilty in the cases of State Senators Isaac E. Huffman of Oxford and La Forrest R. Andrews of Fronton, charged with accept ing bribes at the last session of the Ohio legislature. --- The jury in the case of E. G. Lewis, charged with using the mails to defraud, reported to Judge Willard in the United States district court at St Louis that it had found that Lewis was not guilty on three of the eleven counts in the indictment and that it was unable to agree as to the other counts. The jury was discharged. An international swindling combination, reaching in a chain of sumptuously furnished offices in nine cities including Chicago, New York and London, selecting as its victims only men of supposed keen business intelligence, and mulcting them to the extent of $3,000,000—such are the amazing allegations on the strength of which federal agents made arrests. The wage schedule which the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen will submit to the committee of general managers of the 52 railroads in the territory east of Chicago was made public at Cleveland by General Secretary Albert E. King of the trainmen. The new schedule asks for guaranties of fixed amounts—for conductors, $135 a month; for baggagemasters, $87 a month; for rear brakeman, $84 a month, and for other brakeman $81 a month. Three persons were killed and twenty injured in a fire which started in the St. George hotel, Third and May streets, Los Angeles, Cal. I. E. Trent and W. D. Frad, found guilty in the federal court at Kansas City of using the mails to defraud in connection with the sale of lots through the Oakland Townsite company, have received sentences of 18 months in the federal prison at Leavenworth. Five workmen were killed by an explosion of dynamite near Winchester, Pa. in one of the quarries of the General Crushed Stone company. A laborer was carrying a box of the explosive when he stumbled and the box dropped from his hands. The dynamite exploded. Fire destroyed a large part of the business portion of the village of Tower City, N. D., twenty miles west of Fargo. Balkan War Turkey's request for an armistice, made direct to the Balkan allies, is assented to. The allies probably will demand the unconditional surrender of Adrianople and other important points, but will permit the Turks to retain control over Constantinople if they consent to the other terms of the armistice. Any idea that the Turkish government may have had of benefiting by continued resistance must be shattered by news of the fall of Monastir. In the capture of that important town the Servians took three pashas, including the commander-in-chief, Zekki Pasha, 50,000 men and 47 guns, thus achieving the greatest individual success of the war. Personal Mrs. Ella Flagg Young of Chicago made the principal address at the dedication of the new East high school building at Des Moines, Ia.

Grant and Robert E. Lee in the capitol by direction of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, who have just concluded their convention in Washington. Former Governor and former United States Senator Joseph M. Terrell is dead at his home in Atlanta, Ga., after a long illness. He succeeded A. S. Clay in the senate and held the office until the present incumbent, Hoke Smith, was chosen. Mrs. Frederick A. Dow, president of the Arena club of Chicago, was elected president of the Illinois Federation of Women's Clubs, it was announced at the convention at Aurora, Ill. Foreign The Madrid police announce that their investigations show that the assassination of Premier Canalejas was the result of a plot arranged in Havana during a recent meeting of international anarchists THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1912. MRS. DAVID HUME GUEST OF SULTAN OF ZANZIBAR MRS. DAVID HUME GUEST OF SULTAN OF ZANZIBAR Mrs. David T. Hume, wife of Commissioner Hume of the Killanjaro district of British Africa, recently visited the harem of the sultan of Zanzibar. The young sultan, Ali bin Hamoud, has a splendid English education, being a graduate of Eton. M. Mrs. Hume, in an article in the Chicago Sunday Tribune, after describing her reception at the palace, and the splendors of the sultan's home, has this to say regarding the harem proper: "The harem is in a building connected with the palace by a bridge. As we entered the long court he (the sultan) pointed to some rooms with the doors closed, or half open, and said these were unimportant, as they belonged to the lowest class of women, who are practically slaves. "In one of these rooms I noticed two Arab girls wearing masks in semi-moselm fashion. They were squatted on the floor, just as do the higher types of monkeys. Their faces were protected by bright yellow masks that reached the mouth and were slit so the eyes showed through. Their dresses were even more ridiculous. The one had a large black and white shawl wound to protect the lower part of her body. Her chief upper covering was a long strand of sillel beads. "We walked on some paces and entered a more spacious apartment. The first room was a large reception room. The floors were covered with splendid rugs from Persia and India, and about the room were scattered great quantities of ebony, ivory, and lacquer work. "The adjoining room was a bedroom crowded with furniture, including a handsome Turkish couch, costly silk draperies, and a handsome ebony dresser, piled high with toilet articles of solid gold. "On the couch was a slight, graceful Zanibar maiden. She was fairer than most of the women in the harem, and when she smiled she showed a double row of handsome pearls. "Close by were the sultana's room, the favorite wife of the sultan. As we passed the sultan pointed out the suite and said that he was sorry he was not able to show me his favorite wife and her handsome rooms, but it was the rule of the harem that he was the only one, other than her slaves, who had the right to enter her apartments. "As we retraced our steps we passed a room with the doors wide open, and I saw a beautiful girl with rosy cheeks, reddish hair, and large blue eyes seated on a couch doing some beautiful English embroidery. "She had been brought to the place when she was not much more than a child, and was the daughter of a San Francisco carpenter, but he could not find out from her or from anybody in the harem how she had been brought there." "As we left the laemh I remarked to the young sultan: "You are fortunate to have so many wives." "It is all the way you regard these things," he replied. "If I had my way, I should choose an American or English girl for my wife, and love her and her alone." WEDS THE MAN HER DAUGHTER REJECTED Mrs. George A. McLean of Riverside, Ill. is the bride of George Isham Randolph, son of Isham Randolph, the well-known engineer of Chicago. W. H. The couple were united in marriage at the Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul in Chicago by Dean Walter T. Summer and Rev. Oscar De Wolf Randolph of Lee Memorial Church, Lexington, Va. The wedding is the sequel of a romance begin when the groom was rejected by a daughter of his bride. Announcement of the engagement of Miss Dorothy McLean, daughter of the bride, to Mr. Randolph, the bridegroom, was made in August, 1909, and was later canceled. Harold Heller, next door neighbor and childhood sweetheart, had become a constant caller on Miss McLean and within a year she married Heller. The jilted man continued calling at the McLean home, and the fact that he is in the early thirties while Mrs. McLean is nearly forty-five, served to allay notice. The wedding came as a surprise. Another General Rule Gen. Sir John French of the British army told to a reporter on the Lustania about aviation. "Its mortality is dreadful," he said. "Such sacrifices, however, attend every human advance." With a grim smile he added: "On an aviation field an aeroplane inventor said one day to me complacently: "See the aeroplanes looking down on the plodding motor cars! That is the general rule now. Aeroplanes everywhere are looking down on motor cars." "Yes, and falling down on them, too," said L." "Yes, madame." "Take Panky out for an airing in the car." "Yes, madame." "And be sure you put on the little darling's rain coat. I thought his bark sounded rather hoarse this morning." One Must Eat. "I presume there is the deuce to pay when Scriblet writes a poem?" "No. It is usually the butcher." HIS ONE REDEEMING FEATURE Ball Player's Averages Were Poor, but He Selected Good Man to Write Stories of Game. "Yes, we're mighty proud of Bill." "I spose you are. Still his fieldin' average wasn't quite up to the mark this year, was it?" "No. Bill sort of had an off year in his fieldin', but we're mighty proud of him, just the same."

Didn't seem to have no luck; but we're proud of him, just the same." "Mebby he done some great work stealin' bases. That's a mighty important part of the game." "To tell the truth Bill didn't do much in the way of stealin' bases this year. He got spiked early in the season and it seemed to kind of slow 'im up." "Well, what is it you're so blamed proud of him about, then?" "Didn't you notice them reports he wrote about the world's championship games? Bill's was the best of the whole lot." "I don't see anything much about that to be proud of. I s'pose he got somebody else to write 'em for him." "Sure. But look at the judgment he showed in plickin' out the chap that done it." Unthinkable. Quite unexpectedly one of Brooks' distant relatives had remembered him in his will, but Brooks hadn't told anybody about it.

How would you—" "Twelve hundred dollars!" gasped Rivers. "All at once? Great Scott, I couldn't believe it! I'd think I had gone crazy!" Music. "Just listen to the baby!" said young Mrs. Torkins.

BEST SUIT FOR WINTER BEST SUIT FOR WINTER NEW MATERIALS AND FASHIONABLE COLORS FOR IT. Wool Velour and Ratine in Two-Tone Stripes Popular Fabrics Abroad—Zibeline and Diagonals Preferred on This Side. PARIS.—"It is the Americans who always want something new," exclaim the French manufacturers. "No matter how much we beautify and improve the old fabrics, the first question the American buyer asks is, 'is it new?' "But what is the reason," you yourself are perhaps inquiring, "why we can't have more new materials every year?" Well, for one thing, there doesn't seem to be anything left to invent, and for another, even a variation in an old material is a risk that a manufacturer is wary of embarking in unless it has been favorably passed upon by one of the famous makers of fashion. Take the much-run-to-the-ground ratine for example. In the early fall of 1910 a well known American costumer visited the ateliers of Mime. Champot on the Rue Royale. She showed him a revival of an old fabric. "It is called ratine," she said, and the manufacturers are prophesying a wonderful season for it next year. What do you think of it? "It is new. Nobody else has it, and it is good looking." replied the costumer, "but I should be afraid of it for suits and gowns because it will not press well." Became the Favorite. For this very reason the fate of the old-new material hung in the balance, but there was no other decided novelty for the next season and ratine (or enopge if you will) became the fabric of the moment in Paris and New York. Perhaps you think it has faded out of existence this fall. Not at all, it has simply changed its name. More correctly speaking, it is masquerading, with but slight differences, under three new names, besides its old one. "Drap de mouton" so-called because its deliciously soft woolly texture is like the skin of a short sheep, is one. It can be had in beautiful shades of delft blue, brown, taupe and navy, and sells for $3 a yard. "Drap d'agneau" is practically the same as "drap de mouton," only a slightly finer weave. "Three and four dollars a yard is its price. "Frisse" is the third variation. In some respects it has more character and brilliance to it than either of the others, but for this very reason the majority of American women will be chary of adopting it for anything but afternoon wear. The background is an exquisite shade of blue, garnet, green or gray, rather sparsely dotted with tiny black curls, which give a curious but rather fascinating effect. Besides these one can also find the original all-wool ratine, which, however, has taken to itself a stripe or lighter color; black striped with white, brown with lighter brown and blue with lighter blue. These are pretty designs and should have an exclusive patronage considering that the cost runs as high as $4 a yard. They are much better looking than the so-called two-toned ratine, which is a weaving of two shades of the same color and results in a more or less mottled apearance. The New Suitings. These suitings are by all odds the smartest of the season so far, for the tailored morning suits, and they are the ones upon which Paris has set her seal of approval. Many American women, however, will not care to pay these prices and they will choose, as they have done for a number of years back, a native woven chevot, zebeline or diagonal suiting. Any of these are good, particularly the latter, but the finish should be as rough as possible and the cord as wide. There is a merry war of woods over the place that broadcloth will occupy this season. Some say it will be revived; others say it will not. Here is the belief of a man who has made a life study of fashion tendencies and who is close to the Reading fabric buyers: "Yes," he said when the question was put to him, "there were a few broadcloth models shown at the openings, and undoubtedly some women will do as they always have done and wear broadcloth. But despite all this it is not a good choice for this sea son, and the woman who has a suit of it will wish before spring that she had chosen one of the newer and more picturesque fabrics." It is a fact that not for a number of years have there been so many really attractive novelties. They all, how ever, have certain characteristics in common. For instance, they are delicously soft and silky in texture, and so supple that they naturally fall into the most graceful lines. All of them have an inclination to roughness, either by raised cords or a raised conventional allover design. For example, take one strikingly lovely novelty—"Luyan d'orgue"—in other words, pipes of an organ. There is a wide, raised gray velvet cord on a contrasting colored ground, emerald green, Marle Marie, blue or delicate orchid color. Can you imagine the shimmering, almost iridescent appearance it presents? Five dollars a yard is the price, and one wouldn't feel like begrudging it. Almost, if not quite as lovely, is the new corded "velour de laine," a raised, wide woolen cord with an undertone of contrasting shade. A black cord, for example, on a ground of turquoise blue, or chocolate navy or reddish Evening Coats White satin and broadcloth are popular materials for evening coats; velvet and brocaded silk are newer and are preferred where service and expense need not be considered. These new embossed velvets on the sheerest and most clinging of crepe or satin or chiffon grounds have been seized eagerly by the evening coat designer, and exceedingly beautiful models have been built from them. The velvet may be in one tone or two tones may combine gold or silver with brown may be the prevailing color. This, too, is an imported novelty and costs $5 a yard. Another velour whipcord, also imported, has very fine black diagonal ribs separated by narrow lines of gray, blue, green or brown silk. This gives the effect of different colors in different lights and is very lovely. It is much finer in texture than the others, and it is particularly suitable for the handsome two and three-piece costumes or wraps for afternoons. Still another novelty, and quite different from any of the preceding, is a brocaded "velour de laine." The raised velour design is the same color as the wool background, otherwise the effect would be too garish. Even so, one could scarcely imagine this material, attractive as it is, being employed for an entire costume. It is clearly intended to be used in conjunction with a plain tissue, say, for example, a silk and wool poplin of the same shade. Pretty for Afternoon. The illustration shows an effective style for cloud-gray cashmere. The skirt is filled in on the hips, and trimmed with a "V" shaped piece of blue and white foulard at front and back of waist, also each side of foot; buttons are sewn down the center stripe of each of these pieces. The bodice has sleeves and sides cut Mag- 1 yar, and has the front and back of the stripe. The upper part of front turns back with little revers faced with material, and showing a little vest of lace to match collar. The sleeves are drawn up and set to bands of the stripe. Materials required: Three and one-half yards cashmere 44 inches wide, one yard foulard 40 inches wide, one fourth yard lace for vest and a lace collar, about four dozen buttons. DESIGN FOR LAMP SHADES May Easily Be Made at Home at Little Financial Cost and Small Trouble. Have you seen the new lamp shades in the shops, those made of pale silk and decorated with pictures of Watteau shepherdesses and Gainsborough beauties. Didn't you long to possess one of them? Though expensive to buy, they may be made at slight cost and the method is very simple for the girl who is deft with her fingers. First buy a wire frame to fit your lamp. Cover it with a straight length of silk shirred on full and fastened tightly top and bottom to the frame. Finish with a plaiting of silk at the upper and lower edges. The pictures to be fastened on should be such as "Madame Le Brun and Her Daughter" and other small prints of famous paintings of that period. These may be bought for a few cents each at a picture dealer's. Four or five different pictures are needed. Trim them all to the same size and shape, all oval or all round. If they are printed on thin paper, mount each on a backing of plain paper, gumming it smoothly and trimming to the shape of the picture. Then, arranging all the pictures at regular distances apart, sew them firmly and neatly to the silk. A tiny gilt braid should be sewed around each picture as a frame, covering any stitches that might otherwise show. Now cut away the silk from under the pictures, hemming down the cut edges carefully on the wrong side. In many of the shades for sale in the shops this is not done, and the folds of silk show through and make dark streaks across the pictures, when the light shines through. By cutting away the silk, you insure a clear image of the picture when the lamp is lighted. If your work has been done neatly the result will be a shade which will elicit admiration from every beholder. New Ideas in Furs. Fur is sometimes considered superfluous where these muffs are concerned, and some of the prettiest have a long curling ostrich plume on either side, entirely taking the place of the fur and making a very soft and attractive finish. The flapping saddle-bag shaped type of muff is entirely out of favor, many of the new designs being round, with the fur draped softly instead of being stretched tightly over the surface, while they are big enough to have satisfied the demands of our great-grandmothers, whose muffs were invariably larger than their hats. its color scheme on a shot ground of chiffon or crepe. Rhinestones Effective Silver and crystal represent the keynote of the new trimmings. There is a crystal lace which follows the design of fabric lace. Rhinestones will flash from gowns in many ways this winter. They form the outline of bodice garment, of girdle and of sleeves. Effective as the rhinestone trimming is, it should be used discreetly, as it is very easily overdone. MISSES' AND SMALL WOMEN'S COAT. 5943 The woman or young girl planning a new tailored suit will no doubt welcome with delight an elegant model as the one presented, both because of its good style and its simplicity of construction.

The sounds which a correspondence between them most often very common in Somerset and Devon. And from the other end of England comes Tennyson's "Northern Farmer," of which the first words are "Where asa bean saw long." The variety of English speech in England completely negatives the possibility of establishing a sharp line of demarcation whereby Americanism may be set off to one side as something singular and to be reprobated. It was that matter which particularly interested the former correspondent. Working the Change. "Do you make a different, speech every time you are called upon for an address?" asked the beautiful malden. "Yes," replied the political candidate, "I always shape my remarks to suit the audience I am addressing." "How in the world can you think of new things to say every day?" "Oh, I don't say anything new. If I did the people wouldn't understand what I was trying to get at. I merely blame my stories on Lincoln sometimes, while at other times I let my hearers understand that Mark Twain was the author of them." Fixing the Blame. The car had nearly slid over the embankment. "Heavens!" cried Slithers. "I thought you said this car wouldn't skid?" "So I did," said the demonstrator.
