THIRTIETH YEAR. NO. 27 FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF MEXICO UNITED EFFORTS OF THE PEOPLE Put Miles Memorial College on Good Footing. AMBITION OF THE STUDENTS Alabama Institution Receives Loyal Support From Members of Religious Organization Which Enables It to Broaden Sphere of Usefulness—J. W. Oveltress to Direct Industries. Birmingham, Ala.—The establishment and maintenance of Miles Memorial college, a local institution of learning under the auspices of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church in this state, present the most remarkable example of self help among the colored people of the south perhaps yet on record. The institution has been in existence for several years, but recently it has received a character of support from members of the race in Alabama who are members of the church in this state that has placed it in its equipment and in the character of work on a par with any other institution in the state, with the exception of Tuskagee. For four or five years the ministers and laymen in the various churches have given of their meager earnings on an average about $12,000 per year. With the increased needs of the work and the demands made upon it by its constantly growing influence this amount will hardly be adequate for all purposes. In keeping with a well acknowledged conception of the needs of education in the south, no colored school is considered able to fully meet the demands made upon it unless it has a well developed manual training or industrial department, giving training to its young people in such callings as they are most likely to follow in the future. Miles Memorial college has just got to the place where it feels that it can with wisdom and justice to all concerned give attention to the development of its industrial plant. The management feels that the people have done so well in developing this institution so far that it will be encouraged in the effort to provide for its young people such industrial training as they undoubtedly need. They have accordingly called in an experienced man to develop the industrial work of the institution. J. W. Ovettre, who has charge of the work, is a Tuskegee graduate. He was for fourteen years at the East Tennessee Normal and Industrial institute, located at Harriman, at which place he did some effective work. Two years' work in Anniston, Ala., as principal of the colored public schools secured for Mr. Ovettre the best commendation of the authorities and all the local journals, and he is now working manfully to build up in this great Birmingham district such an industrial plant that will be able to train the young people so that they may cope with the larger demands of rhs highly industrial section. Those who appreciate the situation have given generously of their means, and the management of the institution has always expressed a grateful and sincere acknowledgment of the sacrifices the more thoughtful of the race was making. Encouragement of these people by the friends of education generally will have a twofold effect—that of helping to place within immediate reach of practically 15,000 young people the very kind of education they desire. To meet this situation the trustees decided to call in Mr. Oveltrea, who is regarded as one of the most experienced men available for industrial leadership. Developments thus far since the beginning of the work have proved the wisdom of their choice. The students do not by any means manifest that distaste for work that is so often held up to be the truth. The race itself has got entirely away from that. The girls do sewing, raffa work, basket, housekeeping, cooking and laundering. Some good results are also seen in the practical and scientific farm work attempted on the twenty-acre farm which the school owns. The needs of the institution for the development of an industrial plant sufficient to meet the demands of the people can therefore be very plainly seen. It does appear that one good, well developed school in this district, where our people in such large numbers are depended upon to do practically all the work—work of a character that places Greater Birmingham in the class with the world's greatest industrial centers—will appeal especially to people who would want to do anything for a race of people that is making such a heroic fight for development. Certainly the needs of the work and Mr. Ovelreau's ability to develop and maintain it on a high character should commend it to every one who for the moment gives thought to the vast amount of work yet to be done for the larger emancipation of the masses. Bishop Leete to Hold Conference. Bishop Leete of the South Florida conference of the Methodist Episcopal church is meeting with satisfactory success in his field. The bishop will hold his next conference at Palatka, Fla., on Jan. 80. Much interest is being manifested in the work among the various churches belonging to the conference. THE GAZETTE DEARTH IN PLAYHOUSES. Amusement Companies Show Lack of Efficiency in Management. Oklahoma City, Okla.—That the theatrical profession among the colored performers of the southwest is sadly in need of proper leadership and the individual players almost discouraged has been recognized by every one conversant with the show business in this territory recently. In this city a theater where colored players perform was closed all during the past holidays because it could not get actors. At the same time there were in this city, Dallas and Fort Worth, Tex. and in Kansas City and other show centers an abundance of actors who had played in these different towns, but whose plays were new in other towns. In this section a team or a troupe stays at a house from two to three months, not because it is popular or house packers, but most of the time because it has nowhere else to go. Such conditions as these, however, are to be remedied if present plans EARRISON M. GILLIEAN. for a circuit covering this territory are carried through. That a circuit movement is on foot was made known here when a representative of the Chisolm news service visited here a few weeks ago and made a careful investigation of the local conditions. Previously the other larger towns in this state and Texas had been visited and first hand information obtained. The proposed circuit is to include this city, Muskegue and McAleister, all in Oklahoma; Dallas, Fort Worth, Waco, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Galveston, Palestine, Smithville, Marshall, Greenville and Denison, in Texas, with Texarkana and Shreveport, Ark., as the other towns. The foundation of the plan really rests on the co-operation of the Negro press, and the plans call for liberal use of advertising space in the papers, supplemented by a theatrical press service. H. M. Gillian, brother of Dr. B. B. Gillian, is to have charge of the press bureau. If the plan goes through and the interests behind it are hustlers, in all probability several new houses will be established in the territory served. CORNELL PROFESSOR ON COLORED SOLDIERS. No Truth In Rumor They May Be Disbanded, Says War Secretary. Professor Burt G. Wilder of Corneb university, Ithaca, N. Y., sent the following letter to the presiding officer at the emancipation proclamation celebration held in Washington recently: "Dear Sir—Referring to the recent reports that one of the topics to be discussed at the conference of the general officers of the army was the proposal to disband colored regiments, I submitted to the secretary of war some facts adverse to such proposal and offered to appear personally, if necessary, for the same purpose. "The secretary of war informs me that 'there is no truth whatever in the rumor; that the four Negro regiments have been established by law and could not,' he believes, 'be eliminated except by the action of congress.' "A previous engagement prevents my attendance at the meeting. The matter above referred to might naturally be mentioned, and it is well that there should be no misaprehension." DR. S. N. VASS' LECTURE TOUR. Superintendent D. A. Scott Announces Ministry of Noted, Biblicalist Upon the completion of a course of lectures at Bancet college, Columbia, S. C., the last week in January, the Rev. Dr. S. N. Vass, the well known Bible instructor, will make a tour of Texas under the auspices of the executive board of the state Sunday school convention, accompanied by Dr. D. A.

Much interest is being manifested in art circles in New York over the prospect of viewing some of the rare paintings of Henry O. Tanner, the renowned artist, which Mr. Tanner will put on exhibition in New York in February. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883 AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. FROM INDIAN TEPEE TO WASHINGTON FLAT INVENTOR OF DOUBLE-FLOWERING PETUNIA INVENTOR OF DOUBLE-FLOWERING PETUNIA GROWN PRINCESS REFUSES TO KEEP HOUSE WILL BE HOSTESS TO THE NEW PRESIDENT WILL BE HOSTESS TO THE NEW PRESIDENT No one would imagine that the rather handsome, splendidly proportioned duly proportioned brunette, who presides over a chair division of the Indian office at Washington, and who is known to her fellow clerks as Mrs. Marie L. Baldwin, is really a three-quarter blood "red skin" with an Indian name. N-Dan-Sis, meaning the daughter presides over a section of the claims division of the Indian office at Washington, and who is known to her fellow clerks as Mrs. Marie L. Baldwin, is really a three-quarter blood "red skin" with an Indian name, N-Dan-Sis, meaning the daughter of a chief. Thoroughly cultured and speaking English far more correctly than some of her acquaintances to whom it is the mother tangle, Mrs. Baldwin is none the less an Indian and Uncle Sam prides himself on his sense of fairness in placing her where she has a part in settling the claims of dealers who furnish supplies to her own people. Her face is of an enviable olive that, her hair, soft, brown and slightly waving, is luxuriant as is that of all women who have gone hatless through youth. Incidentally, she displays a truly "pale-face" vanity in this same adornment. One of her first remarks, after the caller had boldly enthushed over her crowning glory, was "But I don't get any credit for it! Just because every second woman wears rats, or puffs, or braids, or all three, every one concludes that I do also." She has the large, dark, inscrutable eyes which cause so many students to insist that the red man came originally from the east. No suggestion of her eyelids are momentarily lowered It was an American woman, Mrs. Myrtle Shepherd Francis, of the France: quaint old mistown town of San Buena Ventura, Ventura-by-the Sea, who had successfully succeeded simultaneously with the noted German hybridist in what seedgrowers of many nations have for years been striving to produce—a self-feeding, double-flowering petunia! town of San Buena Ventura, Ventura-by-the-Sea, who recently succeeded simultaneously with the noted German hybridist in what seed growers of many nations have for years been striving to produce a self-feeding, double-flowering petunia! The result of this young California floriculturist's splendid work with this popular flower is said to bid fair to revolutionize the double petunia business. In the six years that Mrs. Francis has been working and experimenting with petunias and in the creating of new flowers she has won wide recognition, and today, she is recognized, not only in America, but in England, in scientific and trade circles, and her recent achievements have made the name, of Mrs. Myrle Shepherd Francis known among hybridists of two continents. She is a member of the American Breeders' association, and her double-seeding petunia was announced in a recent issue of the American Breeders' Magazine, Washington, D. C. Mrs. Francis is the daughter of the late Mrs. Theodiosa Burr Shepherd, known as the Mother of Flowers, or the feminine wizard of the plant world, who was recognized as one of the world's greatest hybridists. Mrs. Crown Princess Cecilia of Germany has signified her intention never to keep house again. She has become a disciple of the latest custom among the members of the higher circles of the fatherland and elsewhere — that of living in the fashionable hotels or boarding houses. MARY And O, what a rage it has put the kaiser in! He is not so angry at Cecilia herself as he is at the Princess of Pless, who put the idea into his daughter-in-law's head. The emperor fears the totering of traditions may follow this innovation among the high and mighty. The war lord, though progressive in many things, clings tenaciously to kingly prerogatives. A Hohenzollern's castle is his home and a noble's palace his domicile. He wants these things kept up. The crown princess says she likes the modern hotel. Mrs. William Corcoran Eustis, daughter of a former vice-president of the e-president of the United States and wife of the chairman of the inaugural committee, will be hostess to the president and his wife and daughters at the inaugural ball on March 4. P While it is not probable, as has been generally stated, that Mrs. Erwin will lead the grand march with President Wilson, she will be the first to greet the to be quickly刷新 again—in itself a plainman's habit—and then a faint tinge of crimson in their veining is revealed. But she is in an Indian all the same, as she proudly insists, even though she talks without a trace of accent. "Indians never have any accent," she explained, "unless they have learned French or Spanish before English and permit a reminiscent hint of them to creep in. Our own language is made up of dead monotones, with each syllable pronounced and it enables us to speak alien tongues with whatever accent they require." Mrs. Baldwin chats as readily in French as in her childhood tongue; indeed, far more so, since she confessed with reluctance, her knowledge of her native language is departing. For more than half a dozen years she has been here in Washington. "No, when I go n ar my own people," she confessed sorrowfully, "I hear whole sentences of which I know not the meaning. And that is a disgrace with them. Sometimes ago I was sent on a special trip for the office among the Indians and I realized then that I was growing frightfully far away from them—not only in speech but in dress, ideas and appearance. But in one thing an Indian never changes"—and unconsciously Mrs. Baldwin drew her figure up until she appeared to gain several inches—"I mean in the feeding of the heart. It explain, why so many of us, after becoming educated, return to live the same as before." Listening, one caught the chant in her voice and saw visions of sweeping plains, a circle of indignant braves and, in their midst, a humiliated figure in store shoes and a college rig. Francis says: "It is my greatest ambition to round out the life work of my mother, which she felt was but begun and all things point to a realization of that ambition." Among her marvelous new creations in petunias, which are her specialty, are petunias of such extraordinary size and beauty in form, texture and color as to surpass all others; many of the hybridized species are in their rosette-like doubleness very similar to a carnation, while one of the favorites is the new single "orchid flowering," which bears a close resemblance to an orchid. The huge flowers are supported on long, graceful stems, and the dainty overlapping petals are exquisitely ruffled and fuded, and of a rich satiny texture, with the widest imaginable color range, seemingly embracing all the delicate hues and tints of the rainbow. This energetic young woman has many interests, but first and above all else is her home, and she considers her petunia work an aside; yet in the six years that she has been manager of the business, aside from her marvelous new creations in petunias, she is conducting a most successful general forist business. Mrs. Francis is a member of various clubs and associations; since the advent of equal suffrage, delegates from the various women' clubs in Ventura have been admitted to the local chamber of commerce. Mrs. Francis was the delegate from the Shakespeare club, of which she is the president for the ensuing year. In the chamber she is on the landmarks committee, which is a subject of great interest to her. The kaiser says he will have none of it. The crown prince likes the crown princess and likes her idea of liking the hotel. But— Since the kaiser is so set against the idea the crown prince doesn't know just exactly what to do. The Princess of Pless is living at a hotel and says she will continue to do so. The kaiser rages, but the princess only smiles. And there you are. How it will end nobody knows. The Princess of Pless is really to blame for it all. This feud, primarily between one of the most powerful of Europe's rulers and one of the most beautiful women in the world, began when the princess suddenly became tired of her palatial home and took a large apartment in the most up-to-date hotel in Berlin. In doing this the princess gave birth to an idea that became immediately popular. Many of her friends followed her example. Thus the merry row extended. Her associates, one by one, closed up their homes and moved to fashionable boarding houses. presidential party when it enters the ball room and will follow close behind them on the arm of her husband to the promenade. The president and Mrs. Wilson will circle the room twice and will then be invited to a seat in the gallery, where they can see the dancing. Later they will be escorted by the inaugural committee, Mr. and Mrs. Eustis leading, to the supper room, where Mrs. Eustis will play the part of hostess to the distinguished guests. Mr. and Mrs. Eustis will have prominent seats on the stand near President-elect and Mrs. Wilson during the inauguration ceremonies, and among their duties will be to greet and make at ease the notables in Washington at that time. HOLSEY ON ADVERTISING. Some Essential Elements in Success- Some Essential Elements in Successfully Conducting Ad. Agencies. "Many are called, but few are wanted." Many ambitious, well meaning colored men have felt the call to enter the advertising agency business, says Albon Lewis Holsey, but few have been able to "stick," and if I were asked to give the reasons for this contention they would be stated in part as follows: Colored advertisers do not conduct national publicity campaigns in the real broad sense of the word. Therefore they do not have occasion to show their "race loyalty" by placing their business through the colored agent. To be sure, there are many colored enterprises whose annual business goes into the thousands and who should conduct such campaigns, but as a rule they are local advertisers, because their business has been built up in some locality through years of patient toll and energy of perhaps one person who depends entirely on local trade. Again, advertising agents lack capital. To establish an agency requires sufficient backing to carry the business at least two years under present conditions. Postage, stenographic help, etc., make rapid inroads on a small bank account, but these helps are essential to the establishment of such a business. The publisher must have confidence in the new concern, and the advertiser who is responsible will not trust his advertising business to any concern unless reasonably sure that it will make a judicious investment of his money. To obtain this confidence necessitates a great deal of advertising. Furthermore, the white advertiser knows and appreciates the value of the service offered him through the advertising agent, and his demands for better qualified workers in this field and the natural growth of his business have opened the way for thousands of white agencies to handle their enormous business. Thus none of the business from white concerns is left to the colored agent with his limited experience and resources. NEW DIRECTORS ARE ELECTED National Association Fills Vacancies on Board at Annual Meeting. At the annual meeting of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People, held in the banking room of the Evening Post building, in New York, Tuesday, Jan. 21, Charles H. Studin, Mrs. Max Morgenthau, Jr., and Wilson M. Powell, Jr., were elected to the board of directors for the term expiring in 1916. The Rev. Hutchins C. Bishop was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mrs. F. R. Keyser, whose term would have expired in 1914. Dr. V. Morton-Jones was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Mrs. M. D. Maclean, whose term would have expired in 1914. The following were also elected for terms expiring in 1916: George W. Crawford, New Haven; Thomas Ewing, Jr., New York; Paul Kennaday, New York; Joseph P. Loud, Boston; Dr. William A. Sinclair, Phila- delphin; Miss Lillian D. Wald, New York, and Rev. G. R. Waller, Baltimore. SHOULD PRACTICE THE GOLDEN RULE AT HOME. Example of Puritans Exemplified in Afro-Americans Who Go Abroad. The following letter, the writer of which signs the initials E. H., recently appeared in the Philadelphia Press: Shr-I read in the columns of a Philadelphia evening paper of the 5th a note of warning from an unknown source, pointing out the danger in England's tolerance of the colored man in the British 'isles. Assuming the author of the letter to be an American citizen and that his sentiments are already too widely indorsed, I feel justified in submitting the fact that if this nation's moral ideals were higher and its common sense kept pace with its material development none of its people would have cause to go elsewhere in search of life, liberty and happiness. History repeats itself. Human nature is always and everywhere the same. Therefore why discourage them in seeking relief from oppression when they are but following the examples set by the pilgrims, Puritans and Huguenots, who sought relief in this country from religious and political persecution? The class of colored people who go abroad are of a higher order of intelligence than the hordes of emigrants who flock here, and yet no note of warning is sounded against their coming. I think that all the world, America excepted, realizes the fact that the colored people have, on the whole, a creditable idea of moral responsibility and are, of all races, the least to be feared. President Boyd Makes Clear Report. The address of Dr. R. H. Boyd, president of the One Cent Savings bank in Nashville, Tehn., at the annual meeting of the stockholders recently held was a well defined and exhaustive statement of the progress and internal workings of the institution. The bank was organized Jan. 16, 1904. It started business with a capital of $1,600 paid in by sixteen persons. The reports at the meeting showed a clearance of $82,000 for the past year, which is an increase of $45,000 over the previous year. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Tuskegee, Ala.—"Agricultural Credit" and "Finances of the Negro Public School" were the two principal topics of discussion at the twenty-second annual negro farmers' conference held at the Tuskegee Institute, Tuskegee, Ala. The first day's conference was given over to the negro farmers. As stated in the program, the subject for discussion was "How to Secure Cheaper Money for Running the Farm." This put the problem of agricultural credit in terms that the negro farmer understood, and was interested in. Representative negro farmers from Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas described the present condition of the negro farmer in the states from which they come and the present methods of obtaining loans, rates of interest and so forth. Individual farmers told how they have succeeded in reducing the principal and rates of interest upon their yearly loans. Tuskegee, Ala.—Booker T. Washington, principal and founder of Tuskegee Institute, the famous school for negroes, delivered a characteristic address in the chapel of the school to nearly 1,600 students, 200 teachers and several hundred colored citizens from the town of Tuskegee and the Greenwood settlement. Much interest was attached to the address, because it was the last talk to the student body and teachers for the old year and because it was expected that the address would touch upon future work of teachers and students. The address was delivered without notes stenographically reported, and it was characteristic of the practical and helpful discourses Dr. Washington delivers Sunday evenings to the school Washington's address emphasized two principles as applied to the negro the value of organization and the necessity of obedience and discipline Summing up his arguments and stressing the need for respect of authority. R. L. Smith of Waco, Tex., who is the head of a negro farmers' co-operative association in that state, which has established a bank, discussed the subject of co-operative credit and the success of the Texas farmers in cutting down the item of interest in the farmers' annual budget. Charles Banks, cashier of the Bank of Mound Bayou, Mississippi, which supplies a large share of the funds necessary to conduct the agricultural operations of the farming community in which the little negro town of Mound Bayou is the center, discussed the question from the point of view of the man who makes the loans. One of the features of the day's proceedings was the exhibits showing some of the results of the demonstration farming work being done in the several counties adjoining Tuskegee Institute where the demonstration method of teaching farmers has been in operation. The report of the demonstration agents was followed by a distribution of prizes to the corn clubs organized and conducted in these counties. The second day's session of the conference was the meeting of teachers, principals, school trustees and others actively interested in school work. The subject for discussion was: "How to Secure More Money for the Public Schools." Teachers and principals of schools in Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia described the present condition of the schools in their home communities, and the various means employed by the county school teachers to secure the interest of white planters, county school superintendents, and others, in meeting the needs of the negro schools. They will also report upon the extent to which the negro farmers are taxing themselves in order to improve the school building and lengthen the school term in different local communities. Representatives of the Anna T. Jeanes fund, for the improvement of negro rural schools, and also the new state supervisor of negro public schools in Alabama spoke at this conference session. Philadelphia, Pa.—Dr. Booker T. Washington addressed the students at the University of Pennsylvania in Logan Hall. His theme was "The Progress Made by the Colored Race During the Forty-nine Years of Their Freedom." At the conclusion of his talk he was asked about the intermarriage of races. "We do not teach it," he replied quickly. Le Siecle of Paris, France, publishes from the Colonial Bulletin the following article under the headline "An Example." The negro throughout the world will learn with pleasure and satisfaction of the great recognition given a representative of the negro race by the great government of France. The French republic is not afraid to honor such of its black citizens as deserve honor and who, by worth and achievement, deserve it. The march through Fashoda several years ago of a portion of the French army was under the command of General Dodds, also a representative of the negro people. The French seem to believe in the "square deal," and are not afraid of giving honor to those to whom honor is due. A new skyscraper, a six story Odd Fellows building, to cost $135,000, is the work of a Negro contractor, Mr. R. E. Pharrow of Atlanta, Georgia. This is only one of a great many buildings he has erected, among which is Sale Hall of Atlanta Baptist College, and the First Congregational church of Atlanta. Dr. G. W. Gates, late president of Fisk university, died at Winter Park Fla., a suicide from wounds in the throat inflicted by his own hand. Continued ill health is supposed to have been the cause. The punishment for bad manners and habits is more certain than the punishment for crime. The man who does not seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, will find little else that will do him much good. Y FIVE CENTS. AN CULLINGS Tuskegee, Ala.—Booker T. Washington, principal and founder of Tuskegee institute, the famous school for negroes, delivered a characteristic address in the chapel of the school to nearly 1,600 students, 200 teachers and several hundred colored citizens from the town of Tuskegee and the Greenwood settlement. Much interest was attached to the address, because it was the last talk to the student body and teachers for the old year and because it was expected that the address would touch upon future work of teachers and students. The address was delivered without notes, stenographically reported, and it was characteristic of the practical and helpful discourses Dr. Washington delivers Sunday evenings to the school. Washington's address emphasized two principles as applied to the negro: the value of organization and the necessity of obedience and discipline. Summing up his arguments, stressing the need for respect of authority, he said: "One of the fine results, satisfactory results, following the mastery of that lesson is that in any organization, a school or what not, where people have learned that great fundamental lesson of respect for authority, obedience to commands, there you will find order, there you will find absence of friction, there you will find success. Now, let me repeat that one of the differences between ignorance and intelligence, between crudeness and culture, consists in the fact that an individual has learned obedience, respect for authority and the other has not learned it, and don't make the mistake that so many people make, often educated people make, that to obey is a sign of weakness, is a sign of degradation; to obey is a sign of strength; to obey is a sign of all that which indicates nobility of character. I want you every day to get into your blood and bones and practice it in every avenue of work here, the lesson that if you want to be useful, even great after you leave here, learn the lesson of obedience; practice it here and through all times." Throughout the country there seems to be an awakening to the fact that the Negro is to be a hewer of wood and a drawer of water just so long as he is satisfied to be that. Positions above the mental class must come if they come at all, through cooperation among Negroes along commercial lines. The duty of patronizing race enterprises is being talked everywhere. And just here it is well to caution the Negro in business against the fallacy of trying to do business solely on his color. In order to get a share of even the Negro's business, he must adopt and use those methods—often inexpensive—which spell success for other business people. He must be reliable, keep a decent place, as against a dive, and hang-out for the worthless; he must let his place of business be noted for cleanliness and up-to-dateness. In short, he must not only prepare to win success, but to deserve it. He must stand ready and willing and fully able to "deliver the goods."—Dallas Express. There was a run on the Mechanics Saving bank, colored, in Richmond, Va., caused by a carpenter who tried to cash a check after the closing hour, and because he was refused, spread the report that the bank was broke. The run was handled by the officials in a master manner. Always be the first to see the bright spot in a black sky, and your face will soon begin to look as good to those you meet as a barrel of apples does to a boy. White principals and teachers have been in control of the public schools of Charleston, S. C., since these schools were first established. The introduction of a Jim crow street car ordinance has aroused many of the colored leaders to realize now the injustice of white teachers continuing in their schools to the exclusion of prepared negroes, whereas formerly they felt flattered by having them. It is argued that these leaders are acting in a spirit of retaliation. No matter if they are—being aroused to action on this subject is the essential thing just now. An investigating committee of the C. M. E. church has found Bishop Stewart guilty of embezzlement of church funds, and voted his suspension. Of the money handled by the bishop over $43,000 could be accounted for and $10,000 could not be traced. White men made Jack Johnson, and now the belief is growing that his recent troubles have been brought on by attempts of white men to break him. True to the growing racial consciousness, negroes have gone to his rescue. Attorney Gilchrist Stewart, sent to Chicago by the Constitutional league to investigate the case, says: "Owing to appeals to race prejudice, we shall have to make a great effort to save him from the penitentiary." All doors fly open to the man who has plenty of sunshine in his face.

We are indebted to Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Burbridge, Dr. and Mrs. J. M. Glimmer, Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Taylor of this city, and others in and out of the city, for beautiful and appropriate souvenir-post cards, received Tuesday, the 28th, ult.; also to our old and very good friends, Messrs.

Many other good friends remembered our anniversary with gifts and in various other pleasing ways. Thank you kindly, dear friends, one and all. The remembrance is not only very pleasing in deed but encouraging. --- A few weeks ago, the Haynes Advertising Agency of N. Y. City, furnished many of our race newspapers an ad vertisement of S. T. Delano's rheumatism cure, for the Wylie B. Jones Advertising Agency of Binghamton, N. Y., which the last named is endeavoring, in at least our case, to secure an other publication of (the advertisement), claiming the key number published in the advertisement was wrong. In the copy furnished by the Haynes Agency, the key number was 481. The Binghamton Agency now claims it was 482, which is and was not true in, at least, our case. This looks very much to us as if there is an effort being made "to get something for nothing"—a second publication without charge. Therefore, we warn our contemporaries to be on the watch and not "bite." If the key number, 481, of the advertisement was furnished you, as it surely was us, and doubtless was others, does not thus be taken advantage of, and remember both the Haynes and Wiley B. Jones Agencies. It will pay in the future. MORE POWER TO MRS. WOOLEY The fiftieth anniversary of emancipation was celebrated in Chicago, Jan. 5, at Lincoln Center. It was one of the finest meetings ever held in that city in the interest of our people. While the chief speakers enugolized Abraham Lincoln, others spoke on the socalled "Negro question." S. Lang Williams, Louis Brandels, a Boston lawyer; Edward Markham and Harlam Garland delivered fine addresses on Lincoln, we are told, but it was left for Mrs. Cella Parker Woodley to talk on the Negro. Mrs. Woolley, a white lady, said among other things: "We praise the Colored man and ourselves; him for his progress since emancipation, ourselves for the aid rendered him. It is all right to do so, yet the question of importance to me is. When are we going to emancipate ourselves from the prejudices which we have against him? We tell him he has done it, and we instituted to literature, science and art as other races; yet when he asks for a chance to earn an honest living in our factories and shops, we refuse him. Not that he is incapable or unskillful, but because of the fact that we white people are yet slaves to prejudices and should emancipate ourselves. Ninety-nine out of 100 are such slaves. I am now speaking to you men of business who can give the Negro a harbor in a New York city, was a highly trafficked Colored singer. Other members of the choir notified the leader that unless the Colored man was discharged they would leave the choir. The leader informed them that he was sorry that he was unable to dispense with the services of the Colored baritone singer. And the choir told the whites that We would have the whites threatened to leave, wherever the employer has had courage to inform them that he is sorry, but if they will go he would have to fill their places, in most every case they have failed to leave. Only jobs given the Negro are janitors, porters and waiters, regardless of qualifications. The white people are daily closing the doors of opportunity against the Negro's educational schools, kindergarten schools are unjust to the Negro. All the Negro asks now is justice and nothing more." More power to Mrs. Woolley and her kind. She has struck a "key-note" all recognize but which few whites have the manhood, womanhood and courage to "touch with a ten-foot pole." Dr. Francis H. Rowley of Boston, Mass., president of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and one of the editors of its splendid illustrated monthly publication, "Our Dumb Animals," is another one of the "few" that are honoring this great American republic with their presence and citizenship. In "Our Dumb Animals" for February, 1913, Dr. Rowley has the following splendid editorial: "Mtv years ago, Jan. 1, 1868, Abbr. Johnson, John, died of a stroke. Some but not to whom the name wonderful tidings. came could know what visions this sublime act of the great Emancipator opened to their inner eye. To have been a slave—to know oneself henceforth forever free—who shall imagine the soul's tumult of joy and expectation in that hour when it all stood forth a reality! That the Colored race has fulfilled the promise of its friends no man doubts who knows the facts. The progress made in half a century in education, in the growth of self-respect and self-confidence, in the production of distinguished leaders, in the acquisition of property, has no parallel in the annals of mankind. We of the white race are the faithless ones. What promises have we fulfilled! What gregorian heaves we suffered to do in literal words! What bitter and unchristian prejudices have we allowed to take possession of our minds! North and South alike have shamed and wickedly proved false to a great trust. Is it anything but the color of his heart that makes a man black or white in the sight of Heaven and of the noblest manhood? "The second half century since emancipation opens with ominous clouds still darkening the eastern sky where slowly the sum of hope has begun. We will next 50 years will see forces at work with rapidly accumulating power that will right many a cruel wrong, inspire a larger faith, and hasten the day that must come, since God is God when it shall be ungrudgingly known, knowing that men and brothers step-brothers, or brothers-in-law, the world over." Further comment is unnecessary. We might, however, ask Dr. Rowley to have the proper noun, Negro spelled with a capital "N" when it apears in his publications. We feel sure that he will grant this request. A PHILOSOPHY FOR 1913. I am by birth and law a free black American citizen. As such I have both rights and duties. If I neglect my duties, my rights are always in danger. If I do not maintain my rights, I cannot perform my duties. I will listen, therefore, neither to the fool who would make me neglect the things I ought to do, nor to the rascal who advises me to forget the opportunities which I and my children ought to have, and must have and will have. Boldly and without filinching, I will face the hard fact that in this, my fatherland, I must expect insult and discrimination from persons who call themselves philanthropists and Christians and gentlemen. I do not wish to meet this despicable attitude by blows; sometimes I cannot even proctest by words; but may God forget me and mine if in time or eternity I ever weakly admit to myself or the world that wrong is not wrong, that insult is not insult, or that color discrimination is anything but an inhuman and damnable shame. Believing this with my utmost soul, I shall fight race prejudice continually. If possible, I shall fight it openly and decidedly by word and deed. When that is not possible, I will give of my money to help others to the deed and say the word which I cannot. This contribution to the greatest of causes shall be my most sacred obligation. Whenever I meet personal discrimination on account of my race and color, I shall protest. If the discrimination is old and deep-seated and sanctioned by law, I shall deem it my duty to make my grievance known, to bring it before the organs of public opinion, and to the attention of men of influence, and to urge relief in courts and legislatures. I will not because of inertia or timidity or even sensitiveness allow new discriminations to become usual and habitual. To this end I will make it my duty without ostentation, but with firmness, to assert my right to vote, to frequent places of public entertainment, and to appear as a man among men. I will religiously do this from time to time, even when personally I prefer the refuge of friends and family. While thus fighting for right and justice, I will keep my soul clean and serene. I will not permit cruel and persistent persecution to deprive me of the luxury of friends, the enjoyment of laughter, the beauty of sunsets, or the inspiration of a well-written word. Without bitterness (but also without lies), without useless recrimination (but also without cowardly acquiescence), without unnecessary heartache (but with no self-deception), I will walk my way, with uplifted head and level eyes, respecting myself too much to endure without protest studied disrespect from mothers, and steadily refusing to assent to the silly exaltation of a mere tint of skin or curl of hair. In fine, I will be a man, and know myself to be one, even among those who secretly and openly deny my manhood, and I shall persistently and unwaveringly seek by every possible method to compel all men to treat me as I treat them—The Crisis, N. Y. City. MISS BURROUGHS RIGHT! Miss Nannie H. Burrows, corresponding secretary of the Women's Auxiliary convention and president of the National Training School for Girls, said recently in a strong plea for help, for the race: "We have too many organizations. The Negro is the most organized race in the world, and his organizations are the least effective. We have our manners less of people, and this man is plastic—but, it seems exceedingly difficult for the leaders to settle upon a definite plan either for our moral, social, political or industrial bettement." Time and again we also, called attention to the fact that we have a number of so-called "national" organizations, and not one of them making the slightest effort in a PROPER way to solve any one of the three greatest and by far most important problems of the times confronting our people—disfranchisement, "jim-crow" cars (as relating to inter-state passengers of color), and mob violence or lynchmurder. The first two can only be solved in the U. S. Supreme Court. Dr. Booker Washington, president of the National Business Men's League, knows this; Dr. W. E. B. Du Bols of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, knows this; too, so do the presidents of all the other "national" Negro or Afro-American organizations. Then, why do they fritter away time, money and effort with matters and things of minor importance? Washington, Du Bois and all the others know better, as we have indicated, and both are being maintained by ample funds supplied by both our people and the whites. There ought not to be any difficulty in "settling upon a definite plan," Miss Burroughs. All know what is to be done and the only way in which an effort to accomplish it, can be made. The thing to do is for our people, the country over, to demand of Messrs. Du Bois and Washington, particularly, and all the other "presidents" and heads of our "national" organizations, that they do their clear duty to them, and stop the frittering away of time, effort and money "chasing shadows." We say this, too, with full appreciation for all the many little "side issues" both the N. B. M. L., and the N. A. A. C. P. may have handled successfully. Rap them again, Miss Burroughs, but a little more definitely and to the point. BUCKEYE LETTERS WRITTEN BY "THE OLD RELIEABLE" GAZETTE'S CORRESPONDENTS. THROUGHOUT OHIO What Our People Are Doing Each Week—Church, Personal, Social, Lodge, Literary and Musical — Marriages, Deaths, Etc. XENIA.—Miss Olga Sanders was called from Wilberforce, by her father's illness. Rev Henry Hill, another Wilberforce student, conducted very successful rekey of the Erie. Brownsville, Pa. at Mr. and M.

D. of last Thursday, cers of McKi for the benefit of the show, be church on the Taylor Choral movement club and supper, the mortal A. M. and Alabama will participate awarded the v. PAINESVILLE in Cleveland and Lice Goddin and Virginia Mark Geneva, were As pertinent to much of the foregoing it is only necessary to call our readers' attention to the fact that on the 10th of last month, the Supreme Court of Mississippi decided that its state "jim-crow" law applies to through sleeping cars, as well as day coaches. Here we have the spectacle of a state court endeavoring to fix our rights (in its state) as inter-state (U. S.) passengers, when this power for all the states rests in the U. S. Supreme Court. And we are making absolutely no effort whatever to defend our rights as inter-state passengers, as voters or anything else. We believe the U. S. Constitution will uphold both efforts—to knock out disranchisement and "jim-crow" car laws (at least as far as the latter effect inter-state passengers of color), if Drs. Washington and Du Bois or either, will but lead. Both can afford the time; they are being paid well, as we have indicated. UNCLE SAM'S SCALE OF TIPS. That the tip is an established institution in the United States is conceded by that serious agency of government, the federal treasury department. It has promulgated an order specifying the tips that its employees may include in their traveling expenses while transacting public business. Some may be inclined to accept the government's scale of tips, as they accept the government's weights and measures, as establishing the standard. The treasury department of a national administration that has tried to make a specialty of efficiency and economy permits an employee in New York or Chicago to tip the person who brings his meals to him not more than 50 cents a day. He may spend a like sum for this service 1 any one of a score of other cities or considerable size, the names of which are specified. For the service of sleeping car porters he may spend 25 cents a day and of chair car porters 15 cents a day. If he crosses the Atlantic ocean he may use $10 for steward's fees; going to or from Hawaii he may give the steward $15; going to or from Panama or Porto Rico, $10. He is not allowed to give baggagemen or porters more than 25 cents on his arrival at or departure from hotels, wharves, railroad stations and such places. Tipping is a serious matter to many an American of small resources, says the Chicago Daily News. Not a few persons wish they had the federal treasury behind them to stand the expense of tips when they travel. It may comfort them somewhat to know that the treasury itself parcel out the tips with a considerable degree of prudence. The days when the wandering minstrel sang his song and told his story by the yuletide board in the manor hall, and master and men, mistress and maids, wept and laughed together, is gone forever. The sage, the storyteller, the singer of songs no longer stops on his gypsy way to make us merry and strengthen the bond of brotherhood with tears. But into our homes there comes a guest, as gay, as sad, as full of common sympathy and human fire as ever sat by a blazing heart and strummed his battered harp, says Collier's weekly. The story writer touches the source of human emotion in the swarming life about him and sends into a million homes his message of laughter and of tears. The girls of Chicago who organized a club, whose members are pledged to marry no man with an income of less than $5,000 per year, evoked a retort in kind from a subsequently formed club of young men, pledged that in cases where a girl has been brought up to need that income, the parents responsible for that sort of training shall be called upon to furnish the income. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. But the probability is that when Cupid takes a hand club pledges have no more force than tricky pledges have in congress. Wealthy and fashionable women in Boston have formed an association to discourage cruelty to animals in the cause of fashion. They have renounced meat as a diet, and given up the wearing of furs and feathers, which are procured at the cost of suffering to the fur-bearing animals and to birds. They may not establish a large following, but that they are in earnest is proved by the sacrifices made, which are particularly hard for well-dressed women to initiate. An athletic young woman in Washington who blackened a policeman's eyes was fined $60 for each eye in mourning. But she probably thought the fame of such an exploit cheap at the price.

The "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair. The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having a degree in dermatology, and I, alone, know the secret of the position 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 method of treatment 's also helps the hair to remain in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it is a fact that hair in an unsanitary condition carries the gerns of disease which often prove fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them. For treatment, call on or address: MISS KATIE B. COLLIER, MISS KATIE B. COLLIER, 4812 Payne Ave., Cleveland, Ohio.

Monday morning, urging support for a home for our girls. The association indorsed the project. The proposition, aided by Mrs. Levi T. Scofield, Mrs. T. W. Hill and Mrs. Dan P. Eells, and others, is either to rent or otherwise provide a home to be used as a refuge as well as a training school for Green. Green is the institution from the south is heavy and Cleveland affords no protection of any kind for our girls. It is said that our organizations of the city have pledged $500 to the project. James H. Beason is at the head of an organization which has such an object in view. The Cleveland Benevolent Association held its first anniversary celebration, Sunday evening, at Antioch Baptist church. An excellent musical and literary program was rendered. Rev. H. C. Balley delivered the annual address. Mrs. John D. Jackson, vice president, had charge of the meeting. A collection of $15.11 was taken for the Association.

Mrs. Russell, while about to step on a Central Ave. car, at the corner of E. 30th St., Monday noon, was struck by an automobile, knocked quite a distance and seriously injured. It is a wonder she was not killed. She was taken to the hospital, struck at such an angle as to cause her to be knocked out of the way of the car and the machine, which never stopped. She was taken in an ambulance to "Charity" (St. Vincent's) Hospital. The chauffeur was white. The auto's number was secured by Ariot. It was going at a great rate of speed. PETER H. HARRIS MR. THOMAS J. TURNER. Something of His Splendid Services for the Race—A Strong Candidate for U. S. Minister to Haiti. We are proud to note that Indiana is again to endorse a man of the race for Minister Plenipotentiary to Halti, in the person of Mr. Thomas J. Turner of Ft. Wayne. Originally from New Jersey, where for many years he was prominent in state and national politics, it was through his uniting effort to our race were put through the legislature of that state. While military instructor in Iron-side Industrial School at Bordentown, it was largely his capable and efficient service that precured for that institution an annual appropriation which enabled it to move from squalid and unsanitary surroundings to the Iron-side estate, overlooking the historic Delaware river, Mr. Turner also won a signal victory in his fight against unjust discrimination in the insurance laws of New Jersey, which compelled our people to pay a higher rate than the whites, while receiving lower premiums. Many other reforms of more important surroundings were pursued through his determined effort, such as mixed schools, free school books, etc. The good things accomplished by Mr. Turner has by no means been easy. Race hatred and prejudice stood ever over to block his way, and it was nothing short of eternal vigilance and a determined purpose. He was a man of unchallenge. Believing that the square deal was growing more arbitrary and arrogant, especially in the arbitrary and arrogant, people he was convinced of better opportunities in the Democratic party, and about the time of Col. Bryan's first campaign he went over to the other side, where his abilities recognized his ability. He was made an member of the state committee, and has done other things to help relieve the pressure of economic conditions that affect alike black and white. Ill-health forced Mr. Turner into retirement for a number of years, and in the meantime he drifted to Indiana. While there, the call to political recognition was made in the thick of the fight for Democratic principles and human rights, and did splendid work in the recent campaign for the party. Our people of Indiana and of other states will make no mistake in their hearty indorsement of Mr. Turner. W. O. THORNHILL. Somewhat Incomplete.

I send you one subscription (paid in advance) as a token of my good wishes. If fifty of your true friends were to do likewise it might make you feel a trifle younger and a better man than heretofore. Allow me to add an encouraging word you must not look for, nor expect, proper appreciation from your friends. Some you are a Christian: I hope you are a churchman. At any rate, I judge you to be a noble man, a gentleman in the true sense of the word, and as such you cannot expect to draw your pay twice!

The "Angry"-Saxon Race Doomed. Chicago, Ill.—The Anglo (Angry)-Saxon race is vanishing, according to Rev. P. M. Larkin of Los Angeles, who addressed Sunday school workers here, recently.

Chicago — Jack Johnson's automobile a safe, the fixation of the saloon of which he will recently the proprietor, were seized by the sheriff to satisfy a judgment of $3,621, obtained against him by a brewing company. This seizure was made at the residence here which Johnson gave his mother and where he makes his home. For some time the pugilist has apparently been training to fight again. He has been boxing at a local gymnasium. Objection was made to his using the gymnasium most afar from reality, however, and he was requested to find some other place in which to box with his sparring partners. He Has Not "Met" Jack! McCarty! He's Apollo all over again. The new champion (?) is 6 feet 3¾ inches tall, weighs 205, and is built just about right.

Famous Manuscripts Sought After. Manuscripts of famous books of the present time and of the future will probably be of little interest to bibliographers as compared with those of the past, for nearly all book manuscripts are now typewritten, and thus have no special individuality. But the genuine holograph "copy" of the old literary masters is treasured and brings good prices; for example, Sir Walter Scott's "Life of Jonathan Swift," in the original manuscript, with annotations brought $1,910 at the recent Hoe sale.

AQUATIC A junior eight-oared shell race may take the place of the four-oared shell contest in the eastern intercollegiate rowing races at Poughkeepsie. Harvard, Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania will meet in a three-cornered rowing race on the Charles river early in May. The date has not been set, but the race will probably take place about two weeks before Harvard meets Cornell at Ithaca. WRESTLING Stanislaus Cygianewitch, otherwise known as Zbyszko, alias Zbyszko, is out with a new challenge to Frank Gutch. Zbyszko, the Polish wrestler, defeated Jack McGrath, the Irish heavy-weight, in a finish match at Worcester, Mass. The Pole gained the required two falls within the hour. After Henry Ordemann of Minneapolis had won the first fall on a half-melon and crotch hold in twenty-four minutes his opponent, Jess Westerguard of Des Moines, Ia., won two straight falls and claims the heavy weight wrestling championship of America. Frank Gutch, retired champion, was referee. HORSE RACING Prince Arundle, 2:00% has been sold to Canadian parties. It is said that Baden, 2:05% left but three foals in this country.

It is reported that the noted Ohio stire, Bobby Burns, 2:19 1:4, now in his twenty-fifth year, is very feeble and not likely to survive the winter. August Belmont has presented the celebrated stallion, Dandy Rock, by Rock Sand out of Madonna, to the government for breeding purposes. James A. Murphy, the New York road driver, has purchased Hertha. 2:15 1:4, by Onward Silver, 2:05 3:4, from John Kernan of Philadelphia. John E. Madden has offered ten thousand cold for Helios, the sunnamed champion 2-year-old, but Johson Camden, his owner, refuses to part at any price. Camden says he will win the Kentucky Derby this year with Helios. PUGILISM McCarty has been sailor, tramp trestle builder and cowboy. McCarty has made a specialty of two punches—the cow punch and the hook to the jaw. The friends of Eddie Murphy are loud in their claims that Packey Mc Farland used foul tactics in their recent match at Kenosha. Reports from Chicago have it that Abe Attell will assume the management of the fistic affairs of Jesse Willard, the Lone Star cowboy. Abe couldn't keep away from the glamour evidently. If he can't fight himself, he will take to promoting. Next April Johnny Kilbane will defend his title against Johnny Dundee in a 2-round bout before the Pacific Athletic club at Vernon, Cal. The two feathers are almost unquestionably the best of their class and the promise promises to be a lively one. Hugh McIntosh has announced the sale of his Australian stadium to "Snowy" Baker, an American fighter, and followed up the proclamation with his "Vale" to the ring game. In the past two years McIntosh has stood out as the most notable single figure connected with the promotion of the fight game.

In a game up-hill battle with George Slosson for the supremacy in their 2,000-point match at 18.2 balkline billiards last night Koji Yamamada, Japanese cuelist, won the final block, 720 to 400, but lost the match, 2,000 to 1,920. FOOTBALL Three Brazilians are on the Cornell University association football team of the Eastern Intercollegiate league. Football coaches could learn a lot about interference by studying the methods of some baseball club owners. Andy Smith is back flatfooted at Dr. Carl Williams, stating that his ideas did not prevail at Penn until late in the season when the team found itself and licked Michigan and Cornell. It must be a source of grief at West Point that no punishment is to be meted out to the 400 middles who violated the commandant's orders and bet on the annual army game. Five Cogdells will fight for place on the Auburn eleven next fall. Two are younger brothers of the famous Auburn All-Southerner of 1909-10-11, and the other three are first cousins. Not one of the family weed under 190. On New Year's day Alonzo Stagg rounded out 20 years of service as professor of physical culture at Chicago. Stagg was a Yale athlete of note in years long gone and made Walter Camp's All-American of 1889. Bill Roper, some time Missouri coach and more recently head mogul at Princeton, believes that despite the success of the 1912 code that the attack should be strengthened still more, the onside kick restored, and the forward pass unrestricted except that it be made from behind the line of scrimmage. Vanderbilt will not go east next year, having turned down an offer from Yale and having announced that no effort will be made to secure a game with Harvard. The commodores intend to devote their attention to southern games, incidentally making a return trip to play Virginia at Charlestville. BASEBALL George Davis, the sometime shortstop of the Sox, will be found coaching the Amherst nine next spring. Hub Northern of the Dodgers, who looked like a coming star, has been traded to Toronto for Benny Myers, a catcher. Fred Clarke has agreed to the proposal of a series of exhibition games in Hot Springs next spring between the Pirates and the Red Sox. Harry Davis will probably be found next season as manager of Reading in the Tri-State, a club of which Connie Mack is a big stockholder. Ivy Wingo, the Cardinal's' catcher, who will do most of the backstopping next season, is the most promising receiver in the National league. The New York Yankees will play all of their borne games on the Polo grounds, as the work on the new site of the Highlanders' park has not yet begun. Connie Mack has made six separate efforts to sign Robert McGraw, Jr. (no relation to John "Muggsy") who is a pitcher and at least eighteen years old. The Newark club owners came to an understanding with Harry Smith over salary and he has signed his contract to manage the Indians next year for $4,000. Benny Meyer, the utility outfielder of the champion Toronto team, says he has quit the game. He was married recently, and his bride does not want him to play baseball again. Christy Mathewson, talking baseball, said the Chicago Cubs, in their prime, formed the best baseball club he had ever seen, and that the Athletics of 1910 and 1911 were far superior to the present world's champions THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. O SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1913. QUICK RETURN OF PRODIGAL Father and Brother of Cash Martin Extremely Agitated by Sudden Reappearance of Latter. Cash Martin was the most brilliant boy in his community. Whenever the neighbors got tired of discussing the weather or wondering why the hens had stopped laying, they turned themselves into a prophesying circle for the benefit of Cash. The future of Cash unrolled itself before their admiring gaze in limitless splendor and led to a towering unnacle of greatness. One day excitement in the village became intense. Cash had decided to leave home and wrest from the cold and cruel world that fame and fortune which must surely be his. One old man opined that Cash would be gone 20 years and return with his pockets bulging with the wealth of J. P. Morgan. Another declared that at the end of 17 years he would come whirling through his native town on the rear platform of a special car in his campaign for the presidency of the United States. Cash listened to all these predictions with a smiling ease that indicated his belief in everything his admirers said. Then he went away. One week later Cash returned, and worn out by excessive walking and terrific underfeeding, strolled into his home and asked his mother for a piece of bread. Cash's younger brother went to break the news to Cash's father, who ran a sawmill. There ensured this dialogue: "Pop. Cash is come back, by George!" "Has he, by George." "By George!"—Popular Magazine. The Kind Lawyer. "Now," said the fatherly old lawyer, "what's the trouble?" "I want a divorce. My husband has no regular employment, and besides he is cruel. He throws knives at me." "Throws knives at you, eh? That's a queer fad. How long has this been going on?" "Several years." "Then you must have become fairly expert at dodging knives." "Oh, yes; I can dodge them all right." "Now, my girl, look here. You don't want a divorce. Make up with your husband and take your knife throwing specialty into vaudeville. There you are; all your troubles settled at one crack." Only One Jot Left A Chicago man who has a son at Cornell took occasion while on the way home from New York recently to stop off for the purpose of seeing how the boy was getting along. It happened to be just after the Cornell football team, which has undergone many humiliating experiences this season, had been beaten by Colgate. "How are things going with the Cornell football team?" the father asked, pretending to be seeking information. "The Cornell football team!" the young man exclaimed with all the disgust that he could put into his tones; "It has been beaten by everything except the Colonial Dames!" POOR. Hoax—How does Kutem rank as a sculptor? Joax—He doesn't cut much of a fig- ure. His Specialty. The manager of a large lace factory in Nottingham said to one of the foremen: "That new man of yours seems to be a hard worker." "Yes," answered the foreman, "that's his specialty." "What, working?" "No, seeming to." His Rapid Rise. "Yes, gentlemen," said the senator, proudly. "I rose from a country justice's bench." "Who placed the bent pin there?" shouted somebody from the rear of the hall. A Specimen. "Our doctor says nothing pleases him so much as the appropriate in all things." "Then I suppose he is charmed to attend a grass widow with the hay fever." Appropriate Color. "Jaggs came home last night much the worse for wear and insisted he had seen a lot of black snakes." "Well you know Jaggs' family is in mourning." FOR HIS WIFE'S EARS ONLY Business Man Couldn't Find Redeeming Feature in Makeup of His New Stenographer. "How do you like your new stenographer?" "I don't like her at all." "What's the trouble?" "Oh, she isn't any good. If it wasn't such a bother to break a new one in I'd let her go tomorrow." "I understood from what your chief clerk said that you considered her a gem." "He must have been thinking of the one I had before. There was a woman who had some sense. She was old enough to pay attention to business instead of thinking of her clothes or her beau. I'm mighty sorry she inherited money so that it wasn't necessary for her to keep on working." "I was in to see you yesterday. Sorry I missed you. I had a little talk with the new girl. She seemed to me to be rather interesting." "You wouldn't think so if you had to have her in your office." "In't she good at taking dictation?" "Fair—that's all. As soon as business lets up a little I'm going to discharge her. I don't want her around the place. Just now we are so badly rushed that I couldn't get along with a green girl who didn't know anything about our line. And the next time I'm going to try to get a woman who has got past the frivolous age." "I thought the way she spoke that she was keenly interested in your business, and that you probably placed a good deal of confidence in her. Mighty pretty, too. A regular peach. I'm surprised that—" "Sh-sh-sh! Confound it! Can't you see that my wife's listening?" 12 Guest—Ten dollars a day! Can't you make a reduction? I'm a rebuff. Hotel Proprietor—What's that to do with it? Guest—I thought perhaps that you recognized the profession. Apprehension. "You are nervous, sir, are you not?" "Yes, sir. I shall be nervous until the drafting season is passed and gone." "The drafting season." The drafting season. "Yes—for cooks! I live in the suburbs, you know. We are divided into leagues out there—major and minor, and each league is further divided into classes. To the major league belong those families whose cars cost more than 2,500, to the minor league those whose cars cost less. My family is in Class B of the minor league, which means that our cook is subject to draft Class A of the minor league and all the classes of the major league. A number of scouts have dined with us, and—in short, I fear the worst."—Puck. Took the Tail End The Lancashire people are fond of dogs—in fact, they’re very proud of them, and, therefore, when a prominent dog fancier came home one night and found his son had bought a nondescript mongrel he was rather riled. “How much didst thee gie for that dog?” he inquired. “五 shillings” replied the son. “Tell what thee all’do” replied the parent. “A’ll go shares wi’ thee. A’ll gie thee half a crown for ma share.” The half crown was duly paid; then the father remarked: “A’ll tak’ t’ail end, and A’m go'n to kick my half outen t’door!” And he did—London Tit-Bits. Why He Remembered "Well, Tommy, what did you think of Venice?" "Oh, I'll never forget Venice!" "No doubt you were profoundly impressed. What did you see there?" I saw the little girl who lived in Oklahoma from me, back in Oklahoma City. Small Favor. "Charles, would you lay down your life for me?" "Yes, my love." "Then it ought to be comparatively easy for you to lay down that novel for a few minutes and let me tell you what Mrs. Whiffens said yesterday about Mrs. Gastonbury." His Klck. "His daughter is dancing barelegged in a musical extravaganza for $150 a week." "He has reason to be crazy!" "Yes, he claims she is worth $200." A Difficult Feat First Actress—I have the 'latest fashionable gowns to wear in the new play, and I have a fat part. Second Ditto—Then how are you going to wear the fashionable gowns? Exceptions. "The immensity of nature strikes everyone with the same awed feeling." "No, it doesn't. I took a girl, to the circus once and she told me she thought the hippopotamus was cute." Sure of it. "Hamlet knew he couldn't get a square deal from his mother." "How did he know it?" "Didn't say herself she was going to be round with him?" --- AS TO TAILOR MADES Revival of the Newmarket and the Directoire Is Also Noted—Trimness Always the Main Thing to Be Attained. NEW YORK.—Every woman is at present discussing the new tailor or mades. They boom so large on the modistic horizon and the details are just now so enthailing that there is scarcely a tea table where the subject does not rise to the surface above the clatter of the teacups during the hour between 4:30 and 5:30. Those, too, who have been too precipitate in choosing their outfits for the coming months are repeting at leisure, in view of the tempting models over which the tailor is expending much thought and attention. The basque coat is making its appearance to such an extent that it can no longer be ignored. Everywhere one sees it. The accordion platted basque has struck the newest note of all. It is chiefly to be seen in conjunction with the velvet suit, and is, of course, only possible to the woman of tall, slight figure, who has nothing to fear from the introduction of superfluous fullness, the basque being about fourteen inches deep and plaited as closely as the young debauteur's ball gown of the eighties. In nearly every other case the fronts of the basque are cut away, while there is more than a mere suggestion of the Newmarket coat which was worn twenty-five years ago. In the pocket flaps which appear on the seam of the basque, the manner in which the latter is split up in the middle of the back, and in the trim tautness of the whole costume. With the revival of the Newmarket there is, beside, the revival of the directoire. The tall, slim woman looks her best in the little cutaway coat. FASHION with its long position coattails, its up- standing turnover collar, and its huge striped revers. These latter are a feature of the coats in almost all styles for winter wear. But where is the Robespierre collar where the morning costume is con- cerned. Want of Trimness Gone. Every woman who looked confidently for these features of fashion among the new styles is metaphorically rubbing her eyes at their sudden disappearance. Gone, in fact, is everything which seems to suggest a certain sloppiness of style or want of trimness. Once again we have our collar bands concealing the throat as completely as we revealed it in the summer and surmounted, as the season advanced, with a tiny tibal of fur, which, against the pink and creamy smoothness of a good skin, will act as a most potent and valuable beautifier. The new and curious relics of ornamentation as regards these collars is supplied by a little square of filmsy lace, hardly larger than a doily, which hangs suspended from the top of the collar in front over the vest like a bib which has been attached under the chin. And here, indeed, is the new note modified and softened into feminine guise, but unquestionably following the masculine idea, nevertheless. The taller suit which is to be first in favor and most in demand is the suit which faithfully follows the lines of a man's morning coat in some thick and heavy but plain and fairly smooth material, while the skirt is of striped suiting, such as supplies the correct trousers with the morning coat. Failing this strict adherence to a man's fashion, there are numbers which are Box Table. A handy place to keep doilies, embroideries and crochet material, patterns, etc., can be made of four cheese boxes, well washed and dried and lined with any suitable material, according to a writer in the Modern Priscilla. Use a cord at the top edge of the box to cover the edge of lining. The legs are made of eight pieces of half round molding, each two feet long. Two strips of the molding are used side by side for each leg and being made in two materials, the coat being perhaps fashioned of corduroy velvet with a thick heavy rib, and the skirt of plain cloth, or the new "wallpaper" velvet, which has a pattern stamped lightly upon it, but not embossed, so that it suggests a flat wallpaper design and which is also worn with a cloth skirt. Mole is, curiously enough, once again the popular color. One sees quantities of mole suits, just as one did five years ago, and with these there are waistcoats of bright tomato red or tangerine cloth or velvet trimmed with tarnished gold or silver braid, and perhaps a few buttons. Three-Quarter Length Coat. The three-quarter length coat bids fair to replace the long coat of last season and some of the models are attractive enough to insure the success of this new fashion. Those of clothing trimmed with fur seem particularly good in that they may do double duty, serving for both day and evening wear. Quite the prettiest Paris design up to date is one carried out in old rose colored broadcloth on simple but new lines. This model is edged about neck, hem and sleeves with black fox fur bands of varying widths and a matching muff is carried, giving a correct finishing detail to which the French woman always gives careful attention. Cut on kimono lines with diagonal closing in front, the sleeves are cut separate and attached flatly to the coat shoulders without running off the corners. Some of the new one piece dresses that are worn under the three-quarter length coats are real style innovations. A one piece frock on tailored lines, ideal for a short, stout figure, is of black velvet opening over a white full length vest front that shows bib fashion above the empire belt. Below the black velvet empire belt is placed one of folded white satin, so that the becoming empire effect is retained while the natural waist line is defined by the vest belt. While satin buttons and overbutton holesclose the white satin front and the black velvet strap fastens under a cord ornament. Plaited wrist ruffles of white net are almost covered by plaited black chiffon. More elaborate in workmanship is another gown with skirt of oddly draped black satin, as if the train had been drawn toward the front. The upper part of the corsage is red moire. This introduces also the once popular pelerine collar, a fashion detail noted in many of the late models. This pelerine collar, a fashion detail noted in many of the late models. This pelerine is lined and piped with black satin; the revers and cuffs are of the same material. Style Lines Break Traditions A curious point of the afternoon gown is the way the style lines break the usual traditions. The neck of the dress is cut lower than is usual in daytime models; deep, transparent yokes are left unlined or with a single sheer thickness of chiffon, and the ankle peeps startlingly through the crossed skirt draperies or slashed seams. The muff of this winter is to continue the prestige gained for its predecessors of last year and previous ones and is to be worn morning, noon, or night. There are evening muffs as well as day muffs, and muffs for every occasion, for the car, pedestrianism, the theaters, visiting, and so forth. Why does not some one revive the girdle muff, the muff shown in an old drawing of an English woman of 1582? It is depicted as a trifle of a muff, a mere fairly when compared with the giants of today. But it has a more than passing charm slung from the girdle rnd would own the merit of always being there when wanted and not easily lost. Alas! the modern muff is of a truly vagrant behavior. The great big fat muff is the smart one of the day and the basis upon which others are designed. Made of tailless ermine, it is given a bordering of skunk and a demure little black velvet bow through which a few sprigs of heather are thrust. To agree with the ermine and skunk muff a quaint looking tippet and cap are worn. The tippet has a high, fold over collar, and it and the cap are decorated with skunk. Another black velvet bow is added, centered like the first, with mother-of-pearl slide. One variation of the flat muff has a triangular front and another has double points. A third has rounded corners and is trimmed with a broad band of opossum, finished at one side by a plaque of handsome embroidery in the bright peasant colors of Bulgaria. The rest of the muff is carried out in black panne, of which material the cap is made. A throatlet of opossum completes the trio in the case. The bolster muff recalls the fashions of the time of Charles II. There is on record a muff of that period that sounds delightfully smart. It was made of yellow silk with a black fur edging, and another developed in miniver has a modern note about it, for it was trimmed with a blue rosette. Walking Costume. Wool, serge, tweed, or any firm woolen fabric could be employed to advantage in the costume illustrated. The skirt has a double wrapped seam down center of front; trimmed above the rounded corners with buttons, a piece of material fills in the opening. The coat is a little high-waisted, and has the joining of basque to bodice part hidden by a patent leather belt, buckled in front; buttons trim down center of front, also the collar and sleeves. Felt hat, trimmed with velvet and a feather mount. Materials required: 5 yards 48 inches wide, 1 dozen large and $1\frac{1}{2}$ dozen small buttons, 5 yards silk for lining coat. are attached to the boxes with screws. One leg is hinged so that the case can be opened between first and second boxes, the next leg sawed completely off at the same point, and the next one half way. You can stain, paint or varnish it when complete. A nice finish for the top would be one of the box lids. Make a cushion to fit onto it. To use the other lids get material for four legs and nail the lids five inches apart to the legs. This is handy for setting things to cool, etc. LADY'S COAT. 5961 Here is one of the handsomest coat models of the season, and one that is not in the least difficult to carry out. It has a large collar which may be made of lace over satin as suggested by the drawing, of self material, or of any wanted contrasting fabric. The edging of fur is a clever touch. The coat fastens with a single braid and jet ornament. Velvet, satin, serge or any desired woolen material may be used. Pattern (5961) is cut in sizes 32 to 44 inches bust measure. Medium size will require 7½ yards of 36 inch material, 1½ yards of 22 inch all-over and 3½ yards of fur. To procure this pattern, send 10 cents to "Pattern Department," of this paper, and please give to give size and number of pattern. MISSES' DRESS. 5958 Here is a stylish frock for the miss and small one, and one the construction of which is well within the range of the home dressmaker's skill. The dress closes at the front, the fastening being effected at the left side. The Empire or regulation waist line may be used, as preferred, and the skirt, which is a six gored model, is one of the newest designs, and is particularly attractive for the young girl. Pattern (5958) is cut in sizes 14, 16 and 18 years. Medium size will require 4% yards of 44 inch material, % of a yard of 24 inch satin and % of a yard of 18 inch all over. To procure this pattern send 10 cents to "Pattern Department, of this paper. Write Mr. Maude and % of a yard to give size and number of pattern. NO. 5958. SIZE NAME TOWN STREET AND NO. 7 STATE Eating Sunflower Seeds. Sunflower seed eating is the favorite holiday pastime of the Spanish He- brews of the Levant. The kernel of the seed, which is about as large as a grain of rice has a nutty, oily flavor, somewhat similar to raw peanuts. On Saturday, after synagogue, Hebrews all over the Orient are to be munching the sunflower seeds with gusto. The wealthier classes substi- tute the salted pistachio for the sunflower seed. If it be true to say of any author that everybody has read him, but anthor is Dickens. He is more of a national institution today than Shakpee peare, whose works, praised and perverted, explained and darkened by an amazing mass of commentators today are not, in our experience, really known to the average reader—London Athenaeum.
