State Organization Meets In Greensboro, Aug. 12.
WHO WILL BE GRAND MASTER
Choice For Chief Office Indicated by the Executive Committee at its Recent Meeting—Qualifications of Colonel James H. Young For Leadership in Great Fraternity Not Doubled.
By GEORGE FRANCIS KING.
Greensboro, N. C. This city is preparing for the forthcoming annual meeting of the North Carolina Odd Fellows, which will bring here some of the leading men of the race in the state. This fraternity has been pushing very progressive strides in this state, and from present indications at the forthcoming annual meeting it will keep up its record of same legislation to meet the popular needs of the Afro-American people in this state.
The late J. B. Catus, grand master for North Carolina, has been succeeded by a character that is eminently fitted for the head of the organization. Mr. Catus was one of the leading factors of the race in North Carolina and
COLONEL JAMES H. YOUNG.
was highly esteemed by both races. Until his death he was postmaster of Winton, N. C., and as a public officer he had made an enviable reputation and reflected credit upon the Negro's ability to hold such important positions.
His recent death is imitated by citizens in every section of the state. Mr. Custis was an ardent advocate of equal opportunities for the race, and especially was he active in giving the people of his state the best opportunities that they could command for their educational development. He was a trustee of Winton Normal Institute and made many sacrifices in order that this institution could survive the strenuous times peculiar to all such movements during their incipient periods.
At a recent meeting of the executive committee of the Odd Fellows of North Carolina a selection for the head of the fraternity was made which met the approbation of the subordinate lodges throughout the state, and this board is being commended by leading Odd fellows in many sections of the country for its election of Colonel James H. Young of Killeen to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Custus. A man move competent to all this office cannot be found in this state.
"The colonel" says a man of large stature "is considered by those in high authority as the best and most thoroughly equipped financier, bookkeeper and up to date manager of all our public officers." For the past twenty-five years he has admitted held an important position in the internal revenue department at Ingleigh, and if political events should bring about a change affecting the colonel it will not be an easy task to readily and a man to hold down the job like the present topmasters.
In every movement for the uplift of the race in North Carolina for a number of years the colonel has been a guiding solitir. He possesses a kind of intellecultism and penetration of affairs which give him the power to control such forces that will work for the ultimate ascendance of his people, pledges and patriots amine.
Undoubtedly there will be a birth of new things for this fraternity under the guidance of the colonel. He is extremely bound "on with the kind of requisites and limited enthusiasm that will attestate the thousands of Odd Followers in North Carolina.
The element of decay is not present in this especial organization, and from every Indication the colonel will unanimously be elected the district grand master of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of North Carolina ar the annual meeting, which begins here on Tuesday, Aug. 12.
Women's Clubs Doing Great Work.
At the annual meeting of the Texas State Federation of Women's Clubs, recently held in San Antonio, copies sent from forty-five clubs made encouraging reports on work among girls, emergency homes, rescue houses and general uplift work in the rural Americas.
VACATION TIME AT SHAW.
Ivons Things at Noted School.
Raleigh, N. C. The vacation of the students of Shaw university has not completely made the campus of the institution lonely. The man who is constantly at his desk creating new life in various departments of industries is Professor G. A. Edwards, who can be found in his office any month in the year.
As far south as Mississippi this energetic head of the industrial departments of Show and one of the leading Afro-American architects in the country has buildings, the product of his brain, in course of construction for people of both races. Standing out pre-eminently as the result of his ability is the new hospital at Shaw, with which will soon be associated another beautiful brick structure, known as Theological hall.
It will have three stories and a basement and will have all modern improvements and will accommodate fifty-two students. The theologs will have all of their recitation rooms in this building, and the Young Men's Christian association will have well appointed quarters in the basement.
Professor Edwards will superintend the construction of this building, and if the same was given to a contractor it would not cost less than $18,000. This will be one of the most attractive buildings on the campus and will reflect much credit upon Professor Edward's skill.
He has recently completed plans, which were accepted, for a brick building for the local Old Fellows to cost $22,000, and the Christian church, now in the course of creation, at a cost of $27,000. Professor Edwards is the head industrial worker of Shaw. He is certainly helping our people in this section to procure comfortable homes, which means so much to the community life of the race.
WORK OF THE NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION
High Tribute Paid to Its Efforts by W. Anthony Aery.
Mr. W. Anthony Aery, press agent at the Hampton (V.A.) institute, pays a high tribute to the efforts, work and achievements of the National Negro Press association in an article which recently appeared in the Southern Workman. The article in full is as follows:
Wider publicity for the facts of Negro progress and problems of race adjustment is being everywhere secured through heartier and more systematic co-operation among Negro editors and correspondents. Today men have a better chance than they have ever had before to secure accurate and timely facts concerning the struggles and successes of colored people, especially in the south. An important factor in the widening and deepening of public interest in the Negro as a progressive and vital element in American civilization is the National Negro Press association, organized in 1900 and given new life in 1912 at the Chicago meeting of the National Negro Business League.
The officers and members of the Negro Press association are working harmoniously "for the highest development of Negro journalism." Their policy is that of printing "the news without fear or favor, giving a true reflex of existing conditions without concealing exif." Their policy also includes the publication of a Negro newspaper and publishers' directory and the establishment of higher standards in advertising, business methods and news service for the public.
The work on the directory is being fully done by Henry Allen Boyd of Nashville, Tenn., the national corresponding secretary. The problems of working out a plate service and of developing a reciprocal news service are being worked out by a subcommittee of the executive for action at the annual meeting of the association to be held in Philadelphia in August.
The white papers are coming to realize that the public is interested in Negro progress. They are printing as news items the advance of the American Negro in indownding, home building, community and school improvement. The Negro papers are devoting more space to live news concerning their own people and less to sensational material in which the ways, and not the best ways, of white people are exploited. In short, there is a graftifying growth in the common interest of giving all the people all the news of mutual progress and good will."
The officers of the National Negro Press association are: R. W. Thompson, Washington, president; Joseph S. James, Chelmsmith, O., and Gurley Brewer, Indianaapolis, Ind. vice president; Henry Allen Boyd, Nashville, Tenn., and Charles Summer Smith, Minneapolis, Mn. secretaries; John L. Thompson, Des Moines, la. treasurer; N. Barnett Podson, New York city, chairman of the executive committee.

J. from Tuesday, Apr. 29 to 30 in Instrument, James A. Lightfoot, editor of the Atlantic Advocate has charge of the bureau of information and has already announced Toune's pier as the place for holding the annual ball and reception of the order on Thursday, Apr. 29.
GREAT LEADER AND ORGANIZER
BELIEVES IN CO-OPERATION
Brief Account of How the Cause of African Methodism Has Been Advanced Through the Uniting Labors of a Minister Who Is Worthy of Promotion.
St. Louis.—The Rev. William Sampson Brooks, D. D., pastor of St. Paul A. M. E. church in this city, has broken the record for money raising for religious work. He has made for himself a place in the history of the African Methodist Episcopal church that will ever remain as a monument to his energy and which will mean his promotion to higher official life.
Dr. Brooks was born in Calvert county, Md., in May. 1805. He has achieved success by hard and persistent labors, and his home state is proud of his admirable record. Schools for the education of colored people were few and far apart when young Brooks arrived at school age.
It was after he had reached his majority that W. Sampson Brooks decided to take on more education, hence went to Baltimore and entered Morgan college, remaining there just seven years, during which time he completed the academic course and spent some time in the college department. This was the beginning of his active work in the church and for his people. He felt that the Lord desired to use him, and he put himself where he could be used. He started in the work of the gosset ministry, joining the Iowa annual conference at Des Moines in 1803
DR. W. SAMISON BROOKS.
DR. W. SAMISON BROOKS.
and was assigned to Minneapolis, Minn.
where he was given an opportunity to
show his ability. During his stay in
Minneapolis he erected a fine church.
It was while in Minneapolis, that Dr. Brooks decided to broaden his sphere of usefulness, hence arranged for an extensive tour through the old world. He sailed from New York on Feb. 27, 1855. He first visited London, and while there took a special course in the Art museum. He then visited Liverpool, Rome, going through Italy, France and along the course of the Mediterranean sea, spending some time in the holy land, and then into Africa. He speaks the Swedish and Norwegian languages as fluently as he does his mother tongue.
He has pastored churches in Des Moines, Chicago and Nashville. In Nashville his zeal worth as a pastor was recognized by the people during his short stay there, where he accomplished a great work, adding many to the church, and raising large amounts of money for the church. When the congregation of the St. Paul A. M. E. church here was struggling under a heavy debt, Bishop Parks was petitioned to send to the church a man of experiences in church finance, an organizer and leader. Dr. Brooks was then pastoring in Nashville, but the bishop heeding the call of the St. Paul church assigned Dr. Brooks as its pastor. On taking charge he met the officers of the church, talked over conditions, then met the people, outlined the work and put every member in the church to work, and each new member was informed that he would have to work for drones were not wanted.
The indebtedness amounted to $14,000 and he declared that it should be wined out. May 19, $7,541.85 was the amount put on the table, and it is declared that within a few weeks $2,000 will be placed on the table and there will be a shouting In St. Paul A. M. E. church, St. Louis, for it will be out of debt.
In 1010 will be held the centennial general conference, and many of the ministers have already declared that it will be then that Dr. Brooks will be elevated. The man who can bring souls into the church, raise $5,000 one Sunday, and then on another Sunday put down over $7,000 is a born leader and is the man who should be put where he can lead more largely, and the A. M. E. church is going to put Dr. Brooks in such a position.
AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS
Hampton Institute's remarkable results in training negroes are vividly set forth in the forty-fifth annual report of the principal, just made public. From a school of fifteen pupils and two teachers the institute has grown into a busy educational village of over a thousand persons, with a far-reaching influence, not only for the races it is designed to aid, but for the whole nation, which benefits by the splendid work and example of Hampton graduates everywhere. Industrial training is the keynote of the Hampton success, according to Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education, who is keenly interested in the Hampton work. It is noteworthy that this industrial training is of the most immediate and practical sort, applied to the ordinary producing tasks of life, first of all in the educational plant itself. At Hampton practically all the work is done by the students themselves. There are buildings to be kept in repair and occasional new buildings to be erected; there is a farm of 600 acres to be cultivated, with 150 cows and young stock, 40 horses and mules, and hog and poultry. There are horses to be shod, to be built, boys to be clothed—these are a few of the industrial opportunities which the plant itself offers. Last year the students received over $60,000 in wages, of which about one-fourth went to the girls for domestic work in the institute. This year the boys of the trade school have built Clarke hall at a contract price of $26,142. The work called for the services of bricklayers, plasterers, carpenters, sheet metal, workers, steamfitters, plumbers, cabinetmakers, electricians and painters. The architect who designed the building, after inspecting the brick work done by the boys, said it compared favorably with similar work done by New York men, and some of the local builders proounced it the best piece of work in that section of Virginia. At Hampton work is considered a privilege; in fact, one form of punishment is the taking away of work from a pupil. No student is ever punished by being forced to work. At the same time labor is not insisted on as an end it self, but rather as the means to an end. "The aid of Hampton," says Dr George P. Phoenix, vice-principal, "I not merely to train workmen, but to educate men and women who shall stand for the best things in the communities to which they return, and who can make their skill contribute to this end."
Colossal fortunes have been won and lost through the enterprises of men, but reverses have never succeeded in checking the ardent spirits, in all ages, in all climbs, among all people, evil fat—as well as fortunes has played a part, but despite its frowns the combat has been waged, and valorous deeds have emerged which redound as a tribute to genius. The Negro should not carve the luck which is of his own creation, but impart every energy to make his positions more tenable. Uplift is the outgrowth of hidden forces driven by individual will, and cannot be divorced from the benefits their efforts grant to man.
A simple polio call is in use in Chicago, where one has but to ask for Main 13 and connection is at once made with the nearest police station.
There is one high office of the United States government which since the Civil war has been filled by a Negro. It is considered their property, after a fashion, and appears to be hereditary in the race. It is the office of register in the treasury. It is at present filled by J. C. Napier, a Negro of course. Every piece of currency issued by the United States treasury bears the name of the register of the treasury. One need only look at the paper money in his pocket to read the name of this Negro. W. T. Vernon and J. W. Lyons are former Negro registrars of the treasury whose names appear on a large amount of the currency now in circulation.
The poultry trainer need not have a watchdog to protect his flocks. Instead, a burglar alarm may be installed, which will be much more efficient protection. An alarm attached to the henhouse door with a bell in the owner's bedroom is inexpensive.
The voice of the past is but that of a will-o-the-wisp. To heed it is to die of fatigue. The present wants you, and the future awaits.
In focussing binoculars the tubes should be extended to their limit before placing to the eyes and then adjusted, for, if extended afterward, an optical nerve strain is caused that sometimes results seriously.
The offer for $10,000 for a safety train stop brought out 1,574 responses most of which were entirely impractical.
The efficiency of the water turbine has been recently raised by various improvements to 94 per cent.
In city and in country wherever there are any large number of negroes they are confronted with the same sort of a problem that confronted the colored workmen at the Newport News ship yard. That is the problem of making the most of the opportunities for working. Nowhere in this country are the difficulties in securing work for colored persons as great as the opportunities for working. No negro in the south has to be idle because there is no work he can get to do. On the contrary, jobs, especially in the trades, are continually hunting him. If he loses his economic hold upon the south it will be because he has not made the most of his opportunities. Nevertheless there is everywhere, as at the Newport News, always the likelihood of the Negro being displaced by foreigners unless he become a reliable, a dependable workman. Although the problem of the shiftless, irresponsible Negro is general, it can be most effectively dealt with in a local way, just as was done here at Newport News. The responsible colored people here have set an example which should be followed by the better class of colored people in every community. Led by the ministers, teachers and—parents, they should come together and take steps to see that the shiftless, irresponsible negroes stick to their jobs. This class of Negroes is a menace to the entire race. It is from their ranks that the chain gangs are recruited. It is they who bring discredit upon us, and cause the whole race to be charged with being unreliable and irresponsible—New York Age.
Men of genius have not always been good financiers. They have known how in many ways to make fortunes for others unscrupulous enough to steal their ideas or inventions, but they have not been shrewd enough to secure the protective copyright or trademark and provision for royalty, and so have died and filled the pauper's grave. It is said, for instance, that the great Thomas A. Edison knew so little about money matters in his early career that he did not know what to do with the first check he got, said to have been for $100,000, for one of his first inventions. The story seems incredible, but may be true. A news dispatch in the Philadelphia Record says that after spending all of his money to buy books from which to gain "additional knowledge to facilitate his work." John B. Trusty, aged forty-five years, "a colored man of unusual intelligence," has been removed to the poorhouse, "there probably to end his days." The Record says further: Trusty said his money is gone and he could not afford a physician or buy medicine if he did have a doctor. His food was nearly exhausted and he was fainting starvation. Trusty is the inventor of numerous mechanical appliances now in use in local plants. All of them are regarded as most efficient and economical machines. The inventor, however, does not seem to realize what his inventions would have meant to him had he had them patented, and he never received a royalty or even fair pay for them. While he worked he spent all his money, practically, buying books to help him work, and he had acquired a considerable library
This country's production of bond during last year was 400,824 bet tons, a decrease of more than 6,000 tons over the previous year.
The farmer who sells eggs should have a dating stamp, and after the eggs are brought to the house they should be carefully sorted and dated with indelible ink. The date will add 50 per cent to the flavor of the egg when it is served at the consumer's breakfast table. It is a good idea for the farmer who retails eggs to include a card guaranteeing every egg to be as represented. It is not difficult to get five cents above the market price for such eggs, particularly when eggs found to be bad are replaced cheerfully with good ones.

‘There is “method” in Arthur's

in the world (to Chdmpion Jack John-
son) are “Negroes”—Sam Langford,
Joo Jeannette, and Sam McVey who

SLAVERY IN THE PHILIPPINES...
A heartrending hue and cry has
been recently ralsed throughout the
United States over the slavery which
exists under the Stars and Stripes in
the Hinterland of the Philippine Ist
ands. The American. Secretary of the
Interior, burning with patriotic “zeal
and undying love of liberty, had set
about the remedying of this frightful
condition. It seemed incredible to the
patriots of the present administration
that slavery should anywhere exist
‘within our domains; it was their pri
mary duty to relentlessly pursue and
uproot the dread system until it was
stamped out, But lo! the enraged
ardor of the American people sudden-
ly cools; the Wilson administration's
patriotic fervor for. freedom in every
mile of our national territory Is abated
and silent. It now comes out from a
white American, William 8, Lyon, of
Manila, that by’ far the most vicious
and degrading and numerous slavery
that exists in the Philippine Islands is
carried on by white American rest-
dents themselves. True it is, he says,
that orphan children among the un-
cfvilized Negritos are either killed or
when some greedy Filipino merchant
interposes, are” sold as household
slaves until they reach their majority,
to civilized families; but no such hap.
py Inck awaits the Filipino girl if she
comes into the clutches of an Amer
fcan.—N. Y. City Amsterdam News.
WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC
Presidential “Victory” Means To Our
People in Washington, D. C.
and the Entire Country—
An Outrage!
Washington, D. ©, July 24.—A
sweeping segregation order went into
effect in the Treasury department
last week, which requires all of our
employes, regardless of their position,
to use a separate toilet room, one lo-
cated in the basement of the main
buflding. ‘The order alo compels our
employes in Treasury bureaus, located
in rented buildings, to also use sep-
arate ‘toilet rooms. In the Post Office
department this segregation has been
in effect for weeks. Now that the
Treasury department has ordered seg-
regation, the order eminating from
Assistant Secretary Williams; who
comes from, Richmond, Va. with the
approval of Secretary MeAdoo and
President Wilson, it is expected that
the other departments will follow in
their steps, The segregation order

‘the motive, of course.

AN INSULT AND THE PROTEST!
Albany, Obio, July 21, 1913.
Below I give a true statement of
my cake as nearly as I can remem:
ber the conversations of last Friday
morning:
On Friday morning (about 8:00),
July 18, 1913, I entered the barber
shop in’ the hotel basement, where I
am accustomed to being shaved and
haying my hair cut by the barber
who happens to be on duty there. 1
found a new barber in the shop who
was cutting young Crabtree's hair,
and another man occupied a chair
upon the shoeshining stand, whom I
learned later was a brother of the
new barber. I took a chair and await-
ed “next” as usual. The new barber
walked across to the man on the shoe-
shine stand and said something in an
undertone to which the man on the
stand seemed to nod. The new bar-
her resumed work. At that moment
Mr, Joel Lowther (white) came in
and seated himself next to me. In a
few moments the new barber came
partly across the room towards me
and said: fi
“L (or we) don't.shave Colored peo-
ple here.”
I replied, “Who are you, and where
are you from?”
He answered, “My name's McVay.”
“And where are you from?” I asked
again.
“From Athens,” he answered.
‘Then I asked, “Who owns this
shop?”
He answered, “George Spring.”
My next question was, “What is
your objection to shaving Colored peo-
ple?”
,He replied, “I just won't shave
‘em.”
“Do you think Colored people in-
ferior?” I_ asked,
“Well, I don't know about that,”
he replied, “but I'll leave before Till
shaye a Colored man.”
‘Then I told him that character and
not color made a man, and that the
sooner he left the better it would be
for the community, as such a man
‘was not needed in the community. 1
immediately left the shop and went
to Geo. B, Spring and laid the case
before him, George said, “I'm awful
sorry, but I never thought about you;
if I had, I would have come over and
told you about the shop.” I told
George that I would see a man in
“that other place” before I would let
him draw the color line like that in
a room of mine; and I asked George
to “fire” this new racediscriminating
youngster or I should demand satis-
faction for the insult. Geo. B. Spring
owns and conducts a shoe store and
millinery business, and also owns
“Hotel Spring,” in the basement of
which is the barber shop whieh he
also owns. In reply to my question
he stated that he had NOT leased the
barber shop, but employed the afore-
said MeVay to work.

‘This warning has been given many
times to the nervous bridegroom on
the morning of the great event of his
Ufe. One would hardly think it nec-
essary to remind a man of 60 impor-
tant a feature of the ceremony. Yet.
again and again has the agitated bride-
groom found himself in the awful pre-
Aicament of being minus the hoop ot
gold. And distressing are the scenes
Which sometimes ensue. In some in-
stances, the clergyman has come to
the rescue. At one wedding, when the
bridegroom confessed that he had for-
gotten the ring, the miulster prompt
ly drew a bunch of keys from his
pocket, handed the largest of the
Dunch to the embarrassed young man,
who looked stupidly at the large loop
at Its end. The bride, however, had
the presence of mind to thrust the
proper finger through the loop, where-
upon the bridegroom, prompted by th
clergyman, said in a dazed fashion:
“With this ring I thee wed.” An
other clergyman, at a suburban wed-
ding, supplied the suddenly discovered
deficioncy by removing his eyeglasses,
slipping out one of the lenses, and
offering the gold rim to the bride.
She had tact enough to accept the
strange substitute without question.

er” or “taller.” But any large diver-
gence from the characteristic height
(amounting in the case of man to a
third more or less than the average
or normal height) we regard as alto-
gether exceptional, and speak of the
abnormally tall individuals as “giants,”
and the abnormally short as “dwarfts.”

First Civilization.
It was Egypt, in all probability, that
the condition we call civilization had
its rise at a time when the very idea
of writing was unknown to other na-
tions. An attempt is now being made
to show that the idea of the settled
and more or less orderly and peace-
ful social state to which we give the
ame of civilization came from Chal-
dea, or Babylonia, where that sort of
thing existed long before it was
brought to Egypt. But not as yet is
the theory clearly proven, though its
‘advocates are making some pretty
strong points in {ts favor. So far,
however, the “Land of Egypt” holds
the title.

There are more Afro-American voters in the 11th ward than there are voters of any other class of Americans. Isn't it about time we were having the member of the City Council, instead of always being asked to support some white candidate? What is worse still is that all the positions allotted that ward always go to the other classes of voters and none to us. Give the matter a little thought.

The "Sterling" branch library, a gift of Mr. Andrew Carnegie, is to be completed in a few days. It is about the cheapest and tastest-looking building of the kind, we have seen in the city. Why? Why? was our institution the War Department officials, to allow such a poor-looking building to be erected? It cost but $36,000 and it took eighteen months to complete it. It is situated on E. 30th St., between Pine and Central Ave's. Books for it have been purchased. Figures compiled by Librarian W. H. Brett show that Cleveland has the most books per bar of books read per capita and third in the circulation of books. New York and Chicago are the only cities ahead of Cleveland in circulation. The "Phyllis Wheatley" home for working girls of the race has been established in the house owned by the M.E. School to the latter, in E. 40th St. (No. 226) near Central Av., with Jessie E.

Seven out of the 15 coaches (over 900 persons) that went to the union picnic, last week, were in total darkness for over an hour coming in to the city from Crystal beach—on the Nickle Plate road. Many of the young people took advantage of this. Several persons lost their pocketbooks and packages. Mrs. T. J. Hicks was injured before the train got out of the city. When the conductor's attention was called to it, he treated the matter with indifference. Outside the railroad, people gave, no money was made, it is said. The picnic was a fat thing for the railroad, however. A number of persons in surrounding towns and cities, as well as many in the city, who have been in the habit of attending it, did not hear of the picnic until it was a thing of the past by several or more days.
The DuBois Literary club will give a "garden party" at Mrs. T. W. St. John's, E. 71st St. Aug. 27, when the playlet, "Sewing Circle of the Period," will be given by the club. as part of the program. The party is to benefit the clubs student time. The club will be on par with the Paint. Aug. 20. Mrs. St. John was hostess to the club, Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Case, delegate, read a very interesting report of the Oberlin state meet and the club had as guests: Miss Adèle Love of Oklahoma, Miss Pearl Smith, formerly of Oberlin, and Mrs. W. H. Hunley. After a delicious meal, the club and other amusements were indulged in. All left with praise for the excellent hostess.

Light refreshments were served at the conclusion of the meeting. Mrs. Plerson is an admirable hostess. The club has a large area and a look for a successful year's work excellent.
Out at Luna Park, nearly every day in the year, our people are refused the privileges to skate, dance, bathe, etc., freely accorded to the denizens of the tenderloin, just so they happen to be "white," who go out there and apply for them. And yet there are "Negroes" who are entitled to the treasury of the Luna Park management, at least once a year, on the first of August, by attracting a crowd of their own kind to that place of amusement. What has become of the Negro's manhood, self-respect, race pride and about everything else, who will so truckle to anything or anybody in order to make a few "tainted" dollars, for themselves, to own a vehicle else in such a miserable way? May God help them "to see the light as they should" and stop their efforts at such "business" for any purpose whatever. It is not necessary for us to tell our good people of this community, their duty in this matter.

"Papa," she asked, "was it a very wise person who said "The good die young?" "Yes," replied her father. "I suppose he must have been very, very wise." "Well," said the child, after meditating for some time on the import of his answer, "I'm not really so much surprised about you; but mummy—no, I don't see how mummy managed to get grown up!"
Not the Ordinary Fare
During a visit in his church is pacity through southern Maryland, Cardinal Gibbons was entertained by the Order of Jesuits at Leonardtown. That part of the state is famed for its diamond-backed terrapin, canvas-back duck, oysters, crabs and fish, and a sumptuous table was spread before the cardinal.
During the repast the cardinal turned to a priest near him and said, with a twinkle in his eye:
"So this is the way the Jesuits dine!"
"No, your eminence," replied the priest, "this is the way the cardinal dins!"—Judge.
Good Execution With One Shot.
With one shot a man named Gossip of Tyalgum (N. S. Wales), Australia, killed three dingoes, the other day. On investigating a disturbance among his dairy cattle, the man noticed several dingoes attacking one of the herd. It was bright moonlight, and Gossip, firing at the nearest dingo with a rifle, was surprised to find later that he had killed three with one bullet. The bullet struck the first dingo in the neck and passing through broke the second's back, and entered the third dingo between the ribs, breaking its foreleg. The pack had previously killed a valuable cattle dog.
Pen Pictures of Mother's Love.
Pen Pictures of Mother's Love.
You know what it would be to spend one of your winter evenings in a chamber without a fire on the heart or a carpet on the floor; even though the furniture were costly and the friends congenial, nothing could imitate comfort or diffuse the wonted radiance. And in this wintry world, your mother's love and care are the carpet on the floor, and the blaze on the evening hearth. To life's latest moment they mingle in every picture of pre-eminent happiness—Dr. J Hamilton.
Ancient Election Customs
Ancient Election Customs.
No complaint with regard to undue limitation of polling time was possible in the old British parliamentary days. The danger was that polling might be prolonged for a fortnight or a month. Drastic action to bring the poll to a close once provoked a riot in the Westminster division of London. At the general election that began on April 25, 1741, the two Westminster candidates were on the fifth day of polling well ahead; but an opposition party of electors approaching the hustings in great force, the high bailiff (who favored the ministerialists) declared that he feared a riot, and closed the poll. The baffled voters rioted and the military were called out. The high bailiff had afterward to apologize on his knees to the speaker and pay a heavy fine.

KING PAID A "COMPLIMENT"
Told That His Dog is More Beautiful
Than He, and Far Younger,
He Tips Girl.
Geneva.—The king of Wurttemburg is taking his holiday this year in walking excursions. He goes quite alone, except for his favorite dog. He is staying at one of his country places near Friedrichsafen, on the other side of Lake Constance. He came over a day or two ago in the little tourist steamer to the Swiss shore at Rorschach. As a simple traveler he went into a bar and ordered a glass of beer.
"You have a beautiful dog," said the Swiss waitress as she served him.
"Yes, more beautiful than I am," replied the king.
"That is true," said the girl, glancing at the king, "and certainly he is far younger.
"You are perfectly right," replied the king.
He drank his beer and laid a gold piece on the table. The girl ran after him down the stret, saying he had forgotten his change. "Oh, no," answered the king, "you are to keep the money as a souvenir of the king of Wurtemburg, to whom you have paid an unacustomed compliment of sincerity."
STRANGE PARTS OF THE SEA
Submarine Earthquakes Are Said to
Cause Mysterious shocks to
the Walters
New Orleans, LA—Mariners say that in the midst of the Atlantic, about where the twenty-fifth meridian west from Greenwich crosses the equator, there lies a region of mystery. It is on the line that ships take from Madeira to Brazil. Only within the last half century has it been sounded and its strange phenomena reported. One investigator declared that he saw the sea about half a mile from his vessel suddenly disturbed. For about two minutes it boiled up violently as from a subterranean spring.
THINKS JAR OF JAM A BOMB
New York Judge Flinds Mysterious Bundle, Which Police Soak In Water.
New York—Strawberry jam caused the scare. Jam like that which mother used to make—the kind that we stole when we were kiddies, and then got licked for the "swipin." When Judge Thompson of Brooklyn returned home he found on the fourth floor an oblong pasteboard box about eight inches long and three inches wide in which were what appeared to be two metal cylinders. His curiosity stopped then and with more speed than grace he darted downstairs and called up, police headquarters, explaining that he had found a bomb.
Detective Ward was sent to the house. At arms length he carried the bomb to the police station and soaked it in water, while the nerves of some of his fellow-policemen began to become a bit ragged.
Visions of an honor medal appeared to Ward as he began to open the suspected bomb. Everybody was breathing hard. He severed the strings and —there was a sorry-looking detective, for the "bomb" was two innocent jars of strawberry jam.
All Modern Improvements.
Sparker and Plug had just returned from a glorious spin in Sparker's brand-new automobile, and as they sat in Sparker's library they talked of many things despite the noise Sparker's youngsters were making.
"Tell you what, Sparker," said Plug, "you've a fine, healthy lot of children. By the way, how many have you?"
"Seven," said Sparker, proudly.
"You know, I've often wondered," went on Plug, "whether you people with so many children have any particular favorites."
"Well, no," answered Sparker, hesitatingly; "that is to say, you know, we don't have favorites exactly, but of course you can't help being more interested in this year's model than in some of the earlier ones!"
When little Doris climbed up to her father's knee, it was quite oblivious that some deep problem was troubling her mind. Presently she unburdened herself of the momentous question. "Papa," she asked, "was it a very wise person who said 'The good die young?' "Yes," replied her father. "I suppose he must have been very, very wise." "Well," said the child, after meditating for some time on the import of his answer, "I'm not really so much surprised about you; but mummy—no, I don't see how mummy managed to get grown up!"

PARIG TAS TAKEN
Fascinating Little Trifle Is Being
Worn on Every Possible
Occasion.
ACTRESSES SET THE FASHION
Not the Only Dainty Design That Has
Been Copled From the Stage—
Delicate Coatees Also Have
Great Favor—Society in
che tev Ganial,
ARIS.—The success of the boudoir
cap may be said to be phenom-
enal. It has been adopted by wo-
men of,all ages and it fs worn on
all sorts of occasions—in bed, when
the early cup of tea is taken; in the
doudolr or dressing room, while let-
ters are belng read and answered; in
the afternoon, in conjunction with a
picturesque tea gown. Pretty women
have discovered that the ‘boudoir cap
at its best is a particularly decorative
headdress and naturally they have
made thelr own of it.
In a cap designed for Mlle. Jeanne
Provost, who wore it with great suc
cess at a recent matineo, when she
was playing the part of a charming in-
valld, the crown was composed of
hand-painted chiffon which showed a
delicate paitern of blurred roses om an
Ivory ground, writes a correspondent
of the Cincinnat! Enquirer. ‘The frills
which fell over the hatr, were of plain
white chiffon, and a length of black vel-
vet ribbon wag arranged In little loops
all round the crown, with a full rosette
at one side,
‘The tea gown with which this cap
was worn was made chiefly of rose Du
Barry chiffon. ‘There was a veiling of
white tulle which took the form of a
long tunte and at the walst, thrust Into
tho velvet ribbon ceinture, there was a
cluster of roses in the same shades
as those painted on the crown of the
cap. At the left corner of the mouth,
and also on the right cheek near the
eye, patches of black velvet were
worn; the ensemble was old world
and delightful.
Velvet Patches Popular.
‘These velvet patches are rapidly be-
coming a craze. They were introduced
some months ago by a beautiful Parl-
slan woman who makes a specialty of
her lovely white hair. She is not in
reality very gray, but at right she has
her hair discreetly powdered and she
always wears a patch or two.
Our sketch shows a boudoir cap of
another order. Here you have a genu-
ine Marle Antoinette shape, aud the
trimming belongs to very much the
same period—a conventional wreath of
roses made entirely of pale gold chit
fon with a velvet bow in a dull shade
of heliotrope at one side, very low
down. The cap itself is miade of fine
lage in the old yellow shade and pleat.
ed frills almost cover the hair in front.
T have seen some delicious coatees
made to accompany these dainty. bou-
doir eaps; and these coatees can be
worn over plain skirts of soft satin,
erepe dé chine or crepon. Tulle
coatees, bordered wih pleated frills
are also in great favor, and the same
may be said of little boudoir wraps
which look like gigantic fichus and are
made of Indian muslin.
With the cxaggeratedly decollete
necks short sleves are worn in the
house, Sometimes the arms are cov-
ered with fine laco mittens, but far
more often they are left bare, save for
a veiling of tulle illusion. Here I
must again mention that scarts of tulle
{ilusion are worn at all hours of the
day and with almost every kind of cos-
tume. In the evening, at the theater
these litle transparent scarfs are ubl-
quitous; they aro entirely becoming.
Mile, Cecile Sorel is the grande
dame of the Parisian stage. At the
‘Theater Francais she always plays the
roles of famous beauties, such as Mme.
Du Barry, La Pompadour, ete. For
this Is her type. And for the mon-
daines of Paris Mile. Sorel’s gowns are
always things of, vital tmportance:
the celebrated actress understands the
art of picturesque dress better than
any other woman of modern days.
Best Dressed Parisian Women.
‘The National theater of, France is
rich is artists, from the dress point of
vlew as well 26 from the point of view
of dramatic art. Mlle. Sorel and Mme.
Bartet are incomparably the two best
@ressed women in Paris, each In her
own individual way, for Mme. Bartet’s
toflettes do not resemble in style those
of Mile. Sorel. ‘The latter exploits to
‘perfection everything that is magnifl
cent and luxurious and exaggeratedly
pieturesque. Mme. Bartet on the
other hand 1s an {deal model for the
society woman who wishes to be per-
fectly dressed at all times without un-
due eccentricity.
In the plece “Vouloir” Mile. Cecile
‘Sorel wears some charming robes
which might easily be turned into
ideal tea gowns—for example her
clinging robe of ivory tulle yelled in
Malines lace accompanied by a casa-
‘quin of black chantilly which 1s vague
in form and Infinitely becoming. And
again In the second act her dress,
which is composed of charmeuse in
the delicate shade known as “nymphe,”
‘which seems white In certain strong
light, but which shows faint tints of
peach ang faintest green. This robe
fs veiled in Nattier biue tulle and here
and there at unexpected points there
are deep red roses made of gauze.
Still another pleturesque robe worn
by this actress is made of fine white
Malines lace with a casaquin of silver

Flow of Electric Current.
When an ¢lectric current flows
through a conductor it is not sent or
pushed through like a fluid in a pipe,
but is rather banded on from particle
to particle. In other words, it is a

and gold threads, At the waist there
is s superb velvet rose in a strong
shade of carmine,
Fiower Ornaments In Vogue.
In one of iny recent articles I spoke
in detail of these curious flowers which
are now so fashionable {a Paris, They
hardly deserve the name of flowers at
all, for they are absolutely unreal, in
design as in material, They are simply
exotic ornaments which give a splen-
@idly effective finishing touch to an
elaborate costume, and they are worn
‘at the waist or breast as though they
were in-reality flowers. >
Sometimes these ornaments take
the form of conventional roses in vivid
colors and with strings of tiny dla-
monds veining the petals and leaves;
sometimes they represent water lilies
in black velvet. Sometimes they are
like sunflowers in shape, but carried
out in green or vermilion velvet. They
were invented by one of the most
eclectic couturieres in Paris as an ef-
foptive final note for clinging robes of
tulle or embroidered chiffon and for
this purpose they are having an ex-
treordinary success.
Parisian hostesses take special
pr'de in searching out or tnventing
‘unexpected novelties for the “five
o'clock,” new floral decorations, new
cakes and sandwiches, new table ap-
‘pointments.

‘There was a time when high tide on
the Thames might have emptied Lon-
don. For there is on record an in-
stance of a general exodus from Lon-
don through fear of the overflowing
of the river. It was in 1524 that the
astrological experts almost all agreed
in predicting that on a certain day the
‘Thames was going to overflow the
city, and for weeks beforehand the
population was busily engaged in moy-
ing itself and its belongings into the
country. In fact, the only unmoved
person was Father Thames, who on
the great day quite failed to rise to
the occasion, thereby placing the
prophets in some danger of mal
treatment at the hands of the deceived
emigrants.
