Governor Moorhead of Nebraska has vetoed a bill providing for the sterilization of the confirmed criminals and the mentally incompetent, declaring such treatment would be more like the practices of pagan nations than those of a Christian country, and would be unconstitutional. The Chicago police are searching for the murderer of George Dietz, wealthy owner of a woman's tailoring establishment, who was slain in his home, while asleep. The only chie they have is a letter typwritten on a sheet of paper and evidently left by the murderer. The police have concluded that the deed was committed by the father or sweetheart of some girl who thought Dietz had missed her.

Takes Up State Work. Columbus—Mahion G. Bally, who has just taken up work with the Ohio State Sunday School association as assistant secretary to General Secretary C. W. Shinn, has been boys' secretary of the Columbus Y. M. C. A. and has been so successful that the larger field of the state work has opened up to him. Mr. Bailey has had seven years' experience in Y.

SUFFRAGETS BURN SEASIDE MANSION Place Explosives in Many Parts of the House. Militants Also Cut All Telegraph and Telephone Wires, at Entrance to to Box Tunnel on Great Wester Railway. Hastings, England. — Militant suffrages destroyed the handsome sea side mansion at St. Leonard's on the Sea belonging to Arthur Philip Du Cros, member of parliament for Hastings. The women not only set fire to the house, but placed explosives in many parts of the house. The residence had only recently been vacated. The women adopted a method often used by burglars, or entering houses. They first spread papers covered with jam over the window, so as to deaden the sound, and then smashed the large glass with hammers, the jam catching the broken glass. As soon as the flames were noticed by a passerboy the fire brigade was summoned. The firemen had barely begun their work when a series of explosions occurred. One of the firemen was struck on the head by a piece of metal and seriously injured. A large quantity of suffrage literature was found in the vicinity. Militant suffrages cut all the telegraph and telephone wires at the entrance to the Box tunnel on the Great Western railway, near Bath. Great inconvenience was caused to the train service. GEN. SICKLES SAVED AGAIN Warrior's Plea to be Allowed to End His Days in Old House Averts Eviction From Home. New York City.—When foreclosure proceedings were about to take his 5th-av property away from him, Gen. Daniel E. Sickles appealed to the president of the Bowery Savings bank "to be allowed to end his days in the old house." With the consent of his wife and son, Stanton Sickles, an arrangement was made by which the general is to be a tenant in his home and the $2,000 a year rent he is to pay will go for interest on the mortgages. "The Bowery Savings bank holds a first mortgage of $138,000 and my mother holds a second mortgage of $70,000," said the son. "My father will pay $2,000 for his apartments out of his $6,000 pension." SUFFRAGE PARADE IN COURT Proceedings Are Turned Into Votes for-Women Demonstration at Trial of Alleged Swindier. Little Rock, Ark—Court proceedings here were turned into a suffrage demonstration during the trial of Frank Schubert, charged with wielding nearly 500 women out of about $6,000, in connection with the furniture clubs. Just after the court had ordered that Schubert must make restitution and while the 600 women present were applauding the court's order, two local politicians paraded through the court room bearing a banner inscribed, "Votes for Women." The 600 forgot their financial troubles and joined in the procession. Dead Woman in Runaway Newark, N. J.-While the funeral of Mrs. Lena Cohen was going along S. Orange-eay, Newark, Arthur Cannard, the driver of the hearse, raised an umbrella to shield himself from a heavy shower. In doing so he let the reins slacken and the team took fright and ran away. In front of Fairmount cemetery the hearse upset and the casket, containing the body was thrown to the road, with the driver a few feet away. The body was placed in the palearbets' bus and continued to the cemetery. FATHER MURDERS HIS FOUR YOUNG CHILDREN Lines Up Boys and Girls, Then Shoots Them to Death. Slayer Who Was Thought to Have Been Made Temporarily Insane by Continued III Health Blots Out His Own Life. Fitchburg, Mass.—Ernest Moschner, aged 35, murdered his four children and then killed himself by shooting at his home on Rollstone-st. Continued ill health made the man temporarily insane, the police believe. Mrs. Moschner, upon returning from work, discovered the bodies of her children and husband with bullet holes in their heads. The murdered children were Elsei, 12; Myrtle, 11; Norman, 8, and Ernest, 6. According to the police, the children were playing in the yard when their father called them upstairs to his bedside, from the marks of muddy feet, the officers believe, he lined the children up in front of the bed. No Chance to Escape. No Chance to Escape. While the children, half frightened, were gazing at him, Moschner drew a revolver and fired at his elder daughter, Elsie. The bullet entered the head near the left ear, causing instant death. The other children evidently broke the room madly. Ernest, the youngest child, was frightened on the floor of a closet in the front of the same floor. The shot had entered the left side of his head just below the temple. Myrtle and Norman fled downstairs. There Myrtle sought refuge in a closet, but her father's unerring alm brought her down just as she stumbled over the threshold. From appearances, only one of the children had any chance for self defense. Norman, the older boy, was found in the coal bin, his torn clothes and a blood spattered club beside him giving mute evidence of a brave, but futile struggle. Covers Boy's Body. Moschner then retraced his steps, first having covered Norman's body with rags and boards. Halting at the closet on the first floor he covered Myrtle's body. Then entering his bedroom he drew a sheet over Elsie's form as it lay on the bod and, standing beside her, sent a bullet into his brain, causing instant death. Two hours later Mrs. Moschner came home. Missing the sounds of the children's voices and noticing the overturned furniture, she rushed upstairs to her husband's room and found his body and Elsie's. She fell in a faint and when she recovered ran shrieking out of the house to call her neighbors. Up to a short time ago Moschner had been a tuberculosis patient at the state hospital. Previously he had been employed as a baker for 23 years. When his health broke down he bought a delivery wagon and delivered baked goods. When he grew too weak for this work his wife took up the work. Brooding over his poor health, the police think, caused his mind to become unbalanced. RIGH TAILOR IS FOUND SLAIN Chicago Man Thought to Have Been Murdered With Hammer by the Father of Wrong Girl. Chicago, Ill.—George Dietz, wealthy owner of a woman's tailoring establishment, was found murdered in his home at 733 Aldine-av. His head had been crushed and he is believed to have been beaten to death with a hammer which was found in the room. A letter was found indicating that revenge was the motive for the crime. Mrs. Dietz discovered the crime. The slayer escaped without awakening Mrs. Dietz, who occupied a separate bedroom. When questioned by the police, Mrs. Dietz said the first she knew of the murder was when she went to awake her husband. The letter was undigned, written on a typewriter and was illiterate to a degree that led the police to suspect that this feature of the crime had been planned to confuse investigators. It read in parts as follows: "I feel like a man that do rhtt. I kill him like we kill beast. Gerly tele me all when she was sick. I work hard and he is rich man. He steal my little girl. Poor gerly she is not bad she is foolish and like good clothes he gave her. He not think she tele me. These I writhe if I get killed young friend not done it. I not give name. If I get chance to kill old pig we all saved." The police are working on the theory that either the father or sweetheart of some girl committed the murder. Mrs. Dietz told the authorities that she knew nothing of the circumstances mentioned in the letter. The crime was committed with a mason's hammer. Kills Wife and Himself Port Jervis, N. Y.—George Denk, a fireman on the Erie railroad, who saw his hopes of promotion fade away when a doctor told him that he was color blind, went to his home here after work and with a double barreled egotgun killed his wife and himself while his two little children watched. Denk wanted to become an engineer and so certain was he of promotion that he stopped before going to work at the home of a physician and laughingly asked that his eyes be tested. A few days ago a number of gentlemen met in this city and decided to form a social club, lease or buy a residence and furnish it and equip it on a sumptuous scale. This club is designed for the amusement and pleasure of its members. It does not appear that we, of Washington, will continue to begin working from the top down, instead of from the bottom up. With such a crying need for organization to promote and finance commercial enterprises it does appear that if men can organize to spend money lavishly for amusement they ought to be able to organize to spend money judiciously to foster business enterprises. With not a single colored grocery store of size and stock deserving the name of a grocery store in Washington; with all grocery stores of any dimensions, located in negro neighborhoods, controlled and operated by Russian Jews, Greeks and Italians; with not a single dry goods, confection or china store or bank in this city of 127,000 negroes, it would appear that it would be far better to organize clubs to promote business rather than to furnish amusement. And these are anything but amusement times. This is a serious period in our history. With a house of representatives passing jim-crow measures, and each day the daily prints carrying cruel, outrageous attacks on the race by members of congress; with right after right and privilege after privilege being swept away; with the door of opportunity being closed more effectually every day, there ought to be something more serious to command our attentions than the providing of a sumptuous club in which to loll our time away with nectared wines and alimless conversation. The sumptuously appointed social club, among the whites, came after the amassing of wealth and business success. Just at this particularly crucial period in our history, which invites serious thought and earnest work, a social club, sumptuously appointed, would be theimitating of Nero—fiddling while Rome burned. Let's begin at the bottom and work up, rather than at the top to work down.—The Washington Bee. No man who is just and unbiased will condemn you for contending for what is right; therefore, we should contend for what is right. This, of course, should be done in the proper way, at the proper time, and at the proper place. This is a lesson that some people are yet to learn. Human rights are very sacred, and no man should be deprived of them. Every sane man should contend for his rights. We have civil, political and religious rights. The man who stands up for his rightful rights in the proper way will be respected and will in the end get them. God is not dead—right is bound to win.—The Baptist Reporter. For as a general rule, the colored women have had more courage to speak out in the defence of the womenhood of the race than the colored men, who are to a great or less extent cowards and trimmers, they having no higher object in view than to appropriate all the honor and glory unto themselves. They are unwilling to speak out in thunderous tones against the many outrageous wrongs and insults heaped upon the weak and defenseless women and children belonging to the Afro-American race.—Broad Ax. In Houston, Texx, the colored people have thirty barber shops, one bank, one dry goods store, three undertaking establishments, two bakeries, six printing offices, forty groceries, five newspapers, twelve contractors, one brickyard, nine lawyers, four dentist, sixteen doctors, three drug stores, ten real estate agents, six notary publics, five peace officers, two carriage and wagon manufactories, twenty-one blacksmith shops, thirty restaurants, four hotels, two insurance associations, one badge factory, two beauty parlors, three jewelers, four ice cream factories, one business college, two night schools, two architects, sixteen hucksters, fourteen trained nurses, twelve music teachers, fifty dressmakers, one kludgeran ten, six manicurists, two chiropodists, one veterinary surgeon, three cemeteries, eighteen painters, six cabinet makers, three plasterers, one sign painter, one second-hand store, six cement contractors, two stone cutters fourteen brickmasons, three tailor shops, four hack lines, two steam laundries and two photographers. It pays to be kind in kind. Mrs. Booker T. Washington, president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, delivered an address before the teachers of Tuskegee institute, in which she took occasion to speak on the subject: "What Negro Women Are Doing for Themselves." Mrs. Washington declared that the association was opposed to the turkey trot and ragtime. She was frequently applauded. Benevolence must be well hid toward some people, or it will be overtaxed by them. PY FIVE CENTS AN CULLINGS That year after year football is getting a strong footing among the athletic events of the negro schools and colleges of the country was demonstrated very clearly last fall by their general participation in the game. The schedule of games of the various schools was more complete and more satisfactory to the public this year than ever before and with but few exceptions was played without a hitch. Everything taken into consideration the teams representing most of the colleges have shown themselves to be well versed with the new game, and some of their exhibitions have called for the highest praises. The season has come to a close with two teams standing out pre-eminently above the others; they are the Atlanta Baptist College and Howard University. Both teams at least for the present year will have to content themselves with sharing equally the honor of holding the leadership among the negro colleges of the country. A meeting between the two this year would have been a battle royal with a toss up as to which would be returned the victor. The Atlanta Baptist College met and virtually slaughtered the other Atlanta schools and won from Tuskegee Institute and Fisk University in two of the most beautiful contests ever seen on a southern gridiron. Howard University on the other hand won most decisively from all her opponents. To date seven bills have been introduced in the Illinois legislature, all of them antagonistic to the negro. They are known as the Shaw bill, the Campbell bill, the Foster bill, the Poorman bill, the Hollenbeck bill, the Karch bill and the Full Crew bill. With the exception of the latter, the sponsors for these measures place the blame for their action upon the lack Johnson incident. The Campbell bill seeks to establish the "Jim Crow" car on the transportation lines of Illinois, especially on the street cars of Chicago and the other large cities. The Full Crew bill will eliminate the railroad porter, and is believed to be the first step in the thorough elimination of negroes in railroad service. The other five measures alm at the prevention of marriage between negroes and whites, thus permitting illicit intercourse and wholesale miscengation. It is significant that these bills have been introduced by Democratic, Republican and Progressive members of the legislature. The Full Crew bill has been made a party measure by the progressive party. What is still more significant is the attitude of the so-called friends of the negro. They are not anxious to assert themselves at Springfield. The opposition is thoroughly active and gaining force. The negro having no membership in the legislature and no leader in either of the two parties, with whom he votes anxious to voice his position, is in a dangerous position. It is very difficult to find a young woman now, but that as soon as she marries loses her usefulness to the church. More men would be useful to the church today if their wives would exert the same powerful influence over them for religion that they do over them for style and pleasure. Woman, keep your husband closer to the church and he will stay closer to you—The Vanguard. The other man's philosophy was never meant for our circumstances. The executive board of the National Baptist convention have decided that in connection with the next annual sessions of that body, in September, in Nashville, Tenn., there will be an exhibition of the progress the denomination has made since the emancipation. The plans are yet to be worked out in detail. Dr. Booker T. Washington was at the board meeting in Nashville last week, giving counsel and offering his aid financially. It is estimated that the proposed Baptist exhibition of the advancement of their work along lines of education and religion, the building of schools, churches, the work of publication of literature, current and permanent, statistics and material evidences, will cost three thousand dollars. To start, Dr. Washington and other members of the committee subscribed liberally and the denomination will be called upon to help this laudable phase of the next annual meeting. Your true friend will warn you of the impending dangers and assist you to steer clear; the false friend will magnify them but offer no relief. The Torch Light. Intellectual qualifications and moral stamina are of course the prerequisites for the school room in our race, and after them comes the proper connection and who you stand with in civic affairs. Are you wise enough to get right?—Saturday Evening Tribune. Some of the every day policy players and "liquor guzzlers" are away over in the "amen corner" on Sundays; can sing psalms the loudest and exhort sinners the strongest, but by their walks and works are the known—Arkansas Review.

Every branch of the American gov- ernment is now in the hands of the Democrats with southern Democracy the controlling power.

A hint to the wise ought to be sufficient, these days. ‘The Nebraska “Separate Marniage” law strikes at its Jepanese as well as its Chinese and Afro-American resi- dences. (See Lincoln.

Our people of this state were slow, very slow, warming up to the fight on that miserable “Separate Mar riage” bill, but onee they got started they made a “Garrison,” or rather an “Isaac Murphy" finish, ‘The bill wos defeated, lust week, Thursday, by a Yote of 66 to 82, as we anounced in the telegram published last weok.

Some Facts Gleaned From Careful Biblical Reeearch+A Member of the Race's Strong Letter. _ Hiditor Gazette, Dear Sir: In look- ing over our valhable paper, The Ga- ‘zette, of recent date, 1 noticed that ‘the Kansas, New Jersey, Michigan and Towa Legislatures have killed their ‘anthintermarriage bills, Evidently ‘those law-makers are fair-minded men and not heathens. ‘They know from Whence intermatriage sprang. Aceord- ing to biblical records, it began with ‘one of God's chosen’ vessels—Abra- ham, Shem was the progenitor of the pa: ‘trierchs, prophets and of the Jews and also of Christ. “And on these “accounts,” says. an eminent. writer, “the renown of the house of Shem ‘has been great in all the earth.” Into ‘this renowned family, black Ethiopian women were taken as wives. Abraham, the father ef Jesus, mar ried the first one. Gen, 25-1 “Moses, the great Hebrew legislator and law-eiver, married an Ethiopian woman, Num, 1241. Judah, Simeon and Joseph, the sons of Jacob, married black women also. Gen, 41-45. Judah had only five children. They were males, st. Chron, 24. ‘Three, by his first wite and two by his second. Ist Chron, 234. And both of his wives were Canaanitish women, They were descendants of Canaan, @ black man; and Canaan was the son of Ham, Gen, 106. There were two classes of Jews dur- ing the time they had kings ruling over them, ‘There was the royal Jew and the common Jew. The royal Jew was the black Jew and the common Jew was the white Jew. Solomon was ceriainly one of these royal black Jews, because biblical history shows that he built the most costly and roy- alist temples that were ever erected. ‘And that he was black—see "Songs of Solomon,” 1st chapter, 5th and 6th Verses. Solomon's most’ royal nest, aiter the dedication of the temple, was a Negro woman-the Queen of Sheba. See ist Kings, 1-1. Now to prove that the Queen was a Negro woman: One of her ancestors whose name was Sheba, was a grandson of Keturah, the Ethiopian woman who was Abra- hams second wife. See 25th chapter of Genesis, Ist, 2nd and 3rd verses. Now you can plainly see that the Queen of ‘Sheba and ‘Solomon has some of Abraham's blood in their ‘veins, and also some of Ham's too. In ‘the United States of America there are ten millions of people who are neither white nor black, who are called Negroes, Who is responsible for this? Will the white man “fess. up’? We are not asking any favors: or special privileges from the Legis- lature, but contend for and demand our rights as American citizens, ‘Andrew McSpadden, $10.

DIBBELL. <Copyright, 1913, by the McClure News paper Syndicate.) Tears wied up in Doris Mortime's eyes blinding her so that she stumbled on the last long step down from the car and would have gone headlong had not a man who stood waiting to come aboard made a quick step forward and received her in his arms. "I beg your pardon," he said as he released her. "But it seemed the only way to keep you from a bad fall." "Thank you, for it was all my fault—I hope I did not hurt you." The shock had restored Doris' self control and she tried to smile as she asked the question. "No indeed; I am very glad I was on the spot when needed," and touching his hat, her rescuer swabbed the already moving train. He dropped into the first vacant seat on the station side of the car to look at Doris hurrying down the platform. "I never saw a sweeter looking girl, but the poor little soul seemed to be in trouble," was his mental comment. As he settled back in the seat, loosening his overcoat, something fell to the floor with a soft tinkle. He stooped in surprise to pick up a pink carnation, caught on the stem of which was a gold stick pin. The pin was an exact imitation of a four-leaved clover and tiny diamonds in the two upper leaves formed the initials "D.M." "Great Jehoshaphat! Have I taken to robbing people unconsciously!" was Stephen Lorimer's first thought—then suddenly he remembered that the pretty girl he had saved from a fall was wearing a pink flower. "Oh horrors—she will think that was why I caught her, to relieve her of this!" Doris had not noticed the loss of either pin or flower, but was hastening to her afflicted brother. Six months before, he had come to the small town of Brantford to become assistant surveyor in a firm which had chosen him from their numerous applicants. He was getting on well until one unlucky day there came a farmer from an outlying farm with the request that some capable man be sent with him at once to survey certain fields over which he and a neighbor had come to disagreement. The work fell to David Mortimer, and he made a successful job of it—for his survey was accepted as satisfactory by all concerned, a friend of both farmers acting as David's assistant. Late in the afternoon as the farmer was driving the surveyor back to Brantford behind a team of young and spirted horses, a runaway resulted from the sudden bouncing out of a big dog from behind a wall. Both dog and David were thrown out, but in the ensuing weeks the farmer escaped injury, while poor David who was fungi onto a sharp rock at the roadside received a broken leg and a severe scab wound. The farmer's first thought after picking him up was for his horses. He ran after them and found them at a standstill not many rods away. They had swerved into the dense undergrowth which came to the very edge of the road, and were unable to proceed. The light wagon which had tipped over on its side behind them acted as a sort of anchor. It took several minutes to extricate them, but to his delight their owner found that they had not been hurt. When he had righted the wagon and got his team once more within the traces, the farmer suddenly thought of his companion in misfortune and hurriedly drove back to find him. David lay unconscious from the wound on his head, but the farmer managed to lift him into the wagon and drove as speedily as possible to a Brantford doctor. It was in the doctor's spare bedroom that the young man regained consciousness. The scalp wound made him feverish; and after a wound or two it was thought best to send word of his accident to the Mortimers. Thus Doris came at once to nurse her big brother. It was the thought of him which had brought the terrars which caused her own tumble. Dr. Rogres' house was a short distance from the station and Doris was shown at once to David's room. "Doris! How good it is to see you—I didn't know they had sent word about my smash up." Doris kissed him wherever she could find a place below the bandage. "You look as though you had been on a regular orgle—I never expected to see my immaculate brother making such a disreputable appearance. But as little Alice said when her brother had chicken pox "I love you just the same, even if you are ugly." David laughed for the first time since his disaster. "Always something cheerful even for the battered—you are a dear girl Doris," and he squeezed her hand. "Father and mother sent you a car load of love, and mother says that if she hears another word about feverishness she will drop everything and come to take care of you herself. Here is a little message she wrote you." Doris produced a note. "Oh! Where is the lovey carriage that Mona pinned on my coat so I should be sure to remember to give it so you!" Doris spoke in sudden panic, as she realized that the flower had vanished. "And my dear little pin that Daddy gave me—I wouldn't have lost it for the world. But never mind, I'm sure I shall find it again." "I hope you will find your pin, girlle, for I know how you value it. And did Mona really send me a flower?" There was ill concealed delight in this question, and Doris answered tessingly: "You dear old goose; don't you suppose I know what that means to you? Yes she surely sent you one of her pink carnations, and wanted me to tell you it bore her sympathy and the bone that you would soon be all right." "I see that my wise sister can't be deceived. So I may as well own up that I feel the loss of that flower quite as much as you your pin." Dora says him a loving pat, and in- formed him that all conversation must cease for the present. David had no return of fever after his sister's arrival, and Dr. Rogers considered him one of the most cheerful and tractable patients he had ever attended. Doris smiled mischievously when the doctor gave her this opinion; and later said to David, after repeating the compliment, "Dr. Rogers doesn't know how helpful an effect just a little pink flower which never even materialized has had on my suffering brother." Stephen Lorimer's business trip which occupied a week, seemed endless to him; for the little gold pin had become a real discomfort—his chief desire was to get back to Brantford and try to find its rightful owner. But even when the return to town was accomplished he seemed no nearer to a return of the pin. Stephen spent all his spare time for several days in wandering about with the hope that he might encounter the young woman of the train incident; but as Doris remained continuously with David his quest was fruitless. One morning he stopped to see the younger member of the firm which employed David Mortimer; it was only a friendly call and in a very short time McArling said, "I am sure you will forgive me if I seem not quite civil, for we are rushed to death since our best surveyor's accident. The poor chap broke his leg and everybody seems to choose this as the time to have extra work done—I haven't a spare minute." "That's all right—don't you let me hinder you a particle." Stephen never knew what prompted him to ask as he rose, "Has your surveyor anybody to look after him, or did he have to go to the hospital?" "He was boarding, but Dr. Rogers took him in after the accident, and his sister came on ten days ago to nurse him. He has picked up wonderfully since she arrived—I don't wonder, such a pretty girl as that ought to cure anything." Stephen had suddenly become all attention. "When did you say she came? And how does she look?" he inquired eagerly. The busy man' laughed, "Firstly, Miss Mortimer got here a week ago last Thursday; secondly she has the finest pair of brown eyes and the wavest golden brown hair that any girl need wish for—who is in a rush now?" for Stephen started toward the door at top speed. "Have just remembered an important engagement—will see you again soon," called back Stephen as he vanished. All Brantford knew Dr. Rogers and Stephen made a bee line for his residence He asked the trim maid if Miss Mortimer was within, and she answered yes. Then she was requested to tell Doris that someone whose name she would not recognize, desired to speak with her on an important matter. Doris came down. She recognized Stephen and gave a cry of delight as she saw what he was holding out as he advanced to meet her. "I did not want you to think me a pickpocket, Miss Mortimer. I have tried my hardest to return this to you—and you cannot imagine what a load it lifts from my conscience to do it." "Thank you so much. I have mourned over the loss of Daddy's pin—though of course I did not let David see. I suppose you haven't the carnation too?" The question was asked eagerly, for Doris remembered what David had said about its loss. To her dismay Stephen Lorimer blushed up to his hair. "Yes-es," he stammered. "I have it with me—did you want it?" "Only for David—" hastily explained Doris. "A dear friend sent it to him, so it was not really mine to lose." "Then I return it willingly." Stephen drew a leather case from the breast pocket of his coat, and took from it a withered pink carnation. Doris tried to look very matter-of-fact as she took it, and succeeded only in blushing divinely. "My friend McArling told me of your brother's misfortune—don't you think I might cheer him up a little if I came to see him now and then, Miss Mortimer?" This proved a master stroke, for to make time pass pleasantly for David was Doris' only thought. The pink carnation had fulfilled its purpose in life, and two weddings which occurred within the ensuing year could be directly charged to its account. Point She Overlooked. "No safety deposit vault red tape for me!" declared the woman who cannot help being the wife of a very rich man. "I keep my jewels in a shabby old trunk in my room. There isn't even a lock on it. I had to force it off one time when I mislaid the key." "Evidently you don't encourage enterprise in burglaries," observed one of her hearers. "All a man would have to do would be to raise the lid. You might at least give him a little trouble. "He'd have trouble enough," said the woman mysteriously. "Our coach-man's brother is an old sailor—a perfect artist in knots!" and he showed me how to bind up the trunk in the most complicated way, and no burglar could possibly untie it. He wouldn't know the combination." The only man in the group grinned. "Of course," he murmured reflectively, "no mere man would ever dream of cutting those knots." Measuring California Streams. Throughout California field work has been carried on by the federal survey at nearly 200 points in the measurements of the principal streams. These records of the behavior of rivers throughout the year, and year after year, are of the utmost importance in the consideration of all projects relating to the development of water supply for irrigation, power, etc. The report is available to the public.

With the Change Has Come a Great Vogue for Small Flowers as Decorations — English Walking Hat a Return to Old Style. There ought to be plenty of bargains in hats these days, for many of the new millinery models can be worn without the anchorage afforded by that once indispensable article. In fact, one could as easily pin a baby's tight bonnet upon its little head, declares a fashion authority in the New York Times. Hats are not "perched" upon our heads nowadays. They are crushed down over them. The crown of the head fits the crown of the hat. Where are the bandeaux of yester year? Gone with the velvet waste baskets and the huge satin chopping bowls, completely surrounded by a satin terrace, which have been doing duty as hats, the most few seasons. I have yet to see an absolutely flat stiff crown on one of this year's models. Even the sailor shapes—and there are some charming modifications of that type—exhibit a crown rounded at the top so that the head will fit up into it. There is a great vogue, by the way, for these small flowers. They are used in tight bunches or made into tall spikes or in wreaths which very often encircle the upper part of the crown. Several different colors and varieties are used in the same bunch or wreath. On the larger-crowned hats these thy artificial blossoms are sometimes arranged in dainty festoons around the crown over the drapery of lace or ribbon or other material. The close-fitting, head-shaped hat will apparently have a considerable vogue, especially among younger women. But the more exclusive models, and certainly those which as a rule will be the more becoming ones, are less fashionable in sizes. The best of these show the long line from front to back which is characteristic of this season's millinery. Most of them have a brim S turning up at both sides, but more decidedly at the left. If the brim does not roll more at the left than at the right, however, the upstanding trimming is very likely to be placed at the right side. These shapes also are worn crushed down upon the head. One of the best of these models is in what is called the English walker, one go on "English walking hat" we use of those Alpine felt things which would have transformed Ninon de 'Enclos herself into a fascimile of the caricaturist's new woman. The English walking shape, on the contrary, would make the most brilliant of suffragettes look like a bosom friend of Queen Victoria in her youth. One can find this same low, long rounded hat in the fashion planes of the '80s and the '60s. It was the accepted riding hat, also for the perfect ladies of the early part of the nineteenth century, when the peculiarly "female" graces and virtues were at their apotheosis. Curiously enough, it seems to be quite as becoming to the essentially modern type of woman as it was to her more languishing sister of another age. Makes Better Appearance. Naturally it is not quite the same today. There may be ostrich feathers, it is true, but they are quite likely to show only a single row of flues, and these uncured. Even the comparatively few remaining flues may have been subjected to acids that have eaten off the tiny fuzz from certain sections of the plume. This treatment of ostrich feathers is a French innovation which has gained in popularity the present season. It sounds unpleasant, but the results are rather effective. The plume is not entirely denuded of its fluffiness. The edges and the center are protected and the acid is then brushed over the strip down the middle of each row of flues. In this way the feather retains its soft filaments, except along these strips of fine bare threads, and the effect of transparence has a curious charm. The first American flag of the pres- ent stars and stripes pattern was hoisted over Ft. Schuyler, then a military post on the site of the present village of Rome, Oneida county, New York. At that time the flag had only thirteen stars, but the stripes were the same in number as now, thirteen Oil Drilling by Hand. Oil exists in great quantities in Slam, but the methods of securing it are exceedingly crude. The wells are Numidi feathers are very extensively used, especially on the medium shapes. They cannot be said to be beautiful, but they have a certain style. Women who do not as yet know them by name will readily recognize them as rather weird upstanding fountains of threadlike filaments. They are oftenest in black, but are also seen in colors, especially the purples and yellows. They do not really look like natural feathers, but they are said to be part of the plumage of a bird that is rather common in the northwest of France. If they retain their present popularity, however, it will be another case of a once familiar bird being wiped off the map. Gourah and paradise feathers—alas for the bird lovers!—continue to be used. Appeals to the feminine sense of humanity seem to have as little deterring effect as do the climbing prices, which range from $75 to $250 for a hat trimmed with these feathers. With so much variety and beauty in the ostrich trimmings and with the wonderful flowers and ribbons now being shown, it is possible that even the woman with the least conscience—and the most money—may be lured into more humanitarian paths. Prominent Straw Weaves. Chief among the straw weaves this season are Milan, hemp, tagal, Neapolitan, Leghorn, and crin. All these are wonderfully light in weight and comfortable to wear. Draped satin crowns are a feature of many of the simpler models as well as of the more elaborate ones. Almost all the hats should be posed at quite a decided angle, sloping downward at the back. When this is done, the plume, fancy feather, or whatever forms the trimming at the back of the hat, stands out at right angles with the figure, giving a rather rakish piratical effect. Some of the "question mark" feathers, springing from the rear of the more extreme chapeus, find an echo of interrogation in the mind of the beholder. Others, whose curve shows at once where they got their French name of queue de chen, or dog's tail, at least seem more appropriately placed. Masses of stiff loops of ribbon, generally with a picot edge, are also located at the very back of the slope of the crown. Or a fountain of Numidii feathers may show itself in the same spot. Hat in Grey Silk. Grey silk is used for the hat shown in the illustration, with its upturned brim. A large bow of satin ribbon in a beetle's-wing shade form the trimming. FASHION LINES ARE PLEASING Not in History Have More Graceful Designs Put Forward for Feminine Acceptance. The draped lines are lovelier than ever, perfection having been stained through seasons of practice. The softness of spring fabrics makes possible a grace that is art at its highest. Long lines are emphasized in its most successful draperies, giving height and dignity to wearers. In skirts the fullness is kept either decidedly up around the hips, with a narrow lower line, or down around the feet. Shaded skirts have their fullness draped up and caught under clusters of flowers, or held in under straps of material or beads. Skirts with tunics or overskirts frequently have them plaited along the central front line, held flat under stitched bands. This gives a decidedly oriental effect. Draped skirts that show an upcurved line at the bottom of the dress, have inset panels of accordion-plaited chiffon. Crossed drapings on skirts require cleverness and artistic appreciation of line or they detract from the grace of a gown. The most successful are of the straight lengths of supple fabrics attached on each side of the front, crossed and caught around at the back of the gown, near the lower part. Net and lace on bodices are draped into the "scarf sleeve," into butterfly bows and in graceful, loose lines that are attached to train around the arm by means of loops or hung in loops across the gown as a tulle scarf might be held. Ribbon in softest weaves is draped under chiffon and lace on dance frocks. Lines of chiffon and silk roses are garlanded or draped over sleeves and corsage of bodices. Tulle figures largely in the over-drapery on evening gowns. The main rule in drapery is to drape on the figure with an unlimited amount of goods and an eye to "la ligne"—that most important feature in the spring gown. For the Bedroom. To carry out the color scheme of a bedroom is not so difficult a matter today as it was in time past. Among the afss offered by the shops are the sets of shams, table covers, covers for the pincushion and sofa pillows, whether square or oblong, all of the same materials. Sometimes it is pretense which is used in combination with a plain colored sateen or other fabric, while a flat trimming finishes the edge. Another pretty set has the center of volle or scrim. The banding is of a lace made of filet squares, the center design in each one being most attractively colored. Then, too, it is often possible to get the small chests of drawers to stand on the dresser or table, covered with cretonne or chintz. These drawers will be found of the utmost convenience for holding small trinkets that are apt to clutter up bureau drawers and elude a seeker. not more than sixty feet deep and are dug by hand. The oil secured is that which is baled from the bottom of the well by dippers on long sticks of bamboo. The oil is sold to the natives who live within calling distance of the wells. Daily Thought.

STATE Treatment of Burns. The first duty to be performed in connection with burns or scalds will be the removal of clothing from the affected part. The clothing should be cut off and such portions as may adhere to the burned surface should be either floated off by immersing the burned part in a bath of tepid or warm water, or in lieu of this the part should be thoroughly soaked with olive oil so as to loosen the portions of clothing which may be attached to the burned surface. After the removal of clothing from the burn the dressing of the injury forms the next step. Any form of oily dressing which can be had may be used for the treatment of burns. A typical application consists of equal parts of linseed oil and lime water, or any oil of thick consistency may be used, ranging from castor oil to ordinary olive oil or to vaseline or laxine Small Print Bad for Children. Small print leads the young scholar to look too closely at his books. He is not yet familiar with the words of the words he has eyesight has not reached its full acuteness. For easy vision he must have retinal images larger than those which satisfy the trained reader. To obtain these larger images he brings the book too near to his eyes, or his eyes too near the book, and this is apt to be injurious. Her One Great Desire.

Penail Case for Travelers When one is traveling and puts a pencil into the traveling bag it is so apt to slip into unhandy crevices, that a small flat pencil case, well filled, is a convenience not to be despised on a trip. Red leatherette cases may be had, filled. They contain three pencils, a small case of pen points, a rubber and a penholder, each fastened in place.
