THIRTY-FIRST YEAR. NO. 2 EAGLE OF THE UNION EX-GOV. LINDIS SENT TO MEXICO Goes as President's Personal Representative. WILSON 'GIVES UP POSITION His Resignation, Which Will Go Into Effect at End of Sixty Days, Is Accepted by Secretary of State Bryan. Washington, D. C.—President Wilson late Monday afternoon announced the appointment of John Lind, former governor of Minnesota, as his "personal representative" and sent him posthaste to Mexico "as adviser to the embassy in the present situation." Mr. Lind had departed on his mission before the announcement of his appointment. He goes by way of New Orleans or Galveston, by whichever route he can make best speed. The former governor takes with him the ultimate views of the president. Mr. Wilson is unalterably wedded to his mediation plan. This will be submitted either by Lind or United States Charge d' Affairs O'Shaughnessy. Secretary of State Bryan, acting for President Wilson, accepted the resignation of Henry Lane Wilson as ambassador to Mexico earlier in the day. The resignation will go into effect at the end of 60 days. Ambassador Wilson was closed with the secretary of state for about two hours discussing matters connected with the administratin in Mexico. On leaving the state department he said he had no comment to make on any policy or proposed policy of the president or of the secretary of state, and added that the president's plans for peace in Mexico have not been discussed with him. HENRY LANE WILSON. The ambassador said he was sure the president and the secretary of state were actuated by motives of the highest patriotism and that he is sorry that he cannot consider himself in accord with their ideas. When asked what he intended to do, Wilson replied: "Frankly, I do not know. I probably shall return to the practice of law." ORDERS EXPRESS RATES CUT I. C. C. Move Means Active Competition Between Express Companies and the Parcel Post. Washington, D. C.—Active competition between the express companies of the United States and the government parcel post will begin on Oct. 15 next. The express companies were forced into this move by the interstate commerce commission which has just announced a drastic reduction of express rates to go into effect on that date. The commission in issuing the mandate declared that the express companies had for years gouged the American public to the extent of millions of dollars annually in swollen profits. The reduction ordered is from 10 to 60 per cent, transportation of foodstuffs and packages under 50 pounds in weight being largely cheapened under the new tariff. The most important change prescribed by the order is by way of modification of the present graduated scale of parcel rates. One hundred-pound rates for short distances either have been left unchanged or slightly reduced; for longer distances they have been lowered; for 50 pounds or less all rates have been practically reduced. For packages more than four pounds going more than 200 miles and less than 2,000 the new express rates are generally lower than the parcel post rates; for more than 3,000 miles rates are practically the same. The express companies had filed statements indicating that the losses of revenue under the proposed rates would be intolerable. State Solons Sent to Pen. Webster Springs, W. Va. --- Sentences were imposed upon the five members of the West Virginia legislature by Judge W. S. O'Brien in the superior court. The legislators were convicted of bribery in connection with the election of a United States senator early in the year. The sentences follow: Delegates S. U. G. Rhodes, Rath Duff and H. F. Asbury, six years each in the pentennial; State Senator B. A. Smith, five years and six months; Delegate Davie Hill, five years. C. RAPPS & SONS Mr. Newman, the newspaper man whom President Wilson appointed one of the three commissioners of the District of Columbia, is still being fought by the local Democratic politicians. They assert Mr. Newman has not lived long enough in the District to be eligible, though the attorney general has ruled otherwise. Representative Britton Is Prompted to Take Action by Statement Made by Admiral Takara of the Japanese Navy. Washington, D. C.—Immediate construction of three additional dreadnoughts for the American navy is authorized in a resolution introduced by Representative F. A. Britton of Illinois, a member of the house naval affairs committee, in a resolution presented and referred to his committee for consideration. This proposed emergency increase in the navy is urged because of the statement of Admiral Takara, Japan, that "it was proposed to form a fleet strong enough to beat a fleet of a 'certain foreign power' which the government had principally in view in drawing up the naval program. "The foreign power was able (or would be able before long) to send its principal squadron, consisting of 21 battleships and cruisers, into certain waters which would form the scene of the next possible encounter in war." Britton is convinced that the admiral was alluding to the United States, the opening of the Panama canal, and a possible conflict in the Pacific ocean. He believes in being prepared and says that the majority sentiment of members of the house naval affairs committee is favorable to more battleships and a general strengthening of this arm of the country's defense. The resolution calls attention to the continued unsettled conditions of relations with Japan and Mexico and says that the "apparent inability of the administration to cope with the situation have rendered so acute the annexation of our people by our unpreparedness for war as to make it imperative to at once begin the construction of at least that many battleships." SHOWS FARMERS PROSPER Continental & Commercial National Bank of Chicago Gives Out Compilation of Crop Estimates. Chicago, Ill.—Again the horn of plenty has been tipped over the land, and grain, basis of the nation's welfare, is abundant over the United States' farms. Wheat, essence of the people's food, has come forth from the earth, not in bumper yields, but in amounts ample for the people's needs. Corn and oats, food for animals and in growing importance for men, are plentiful. Cotton, staple for clothing and, for our trade with foreign nations, is a bountiful crop, though not a phenomenal one. The Continental & Commercial National Bank of Chicago has given out its annual compilation of crop estimates, gathered from correspondents on or near the farms throughout the country, and those are the conclusions the bank draws. It finds that the American farmer has come to use improved means in his work. Two Bandits Hold Up Train Birmingham, Ala.—A northbound Louisville & Nashville passenger train from New Orleans to Cincinnati, was held up near here. A telephone message from the scene of the holdup says the messengers in the express car were handcuffed and two safes riffed. All the registered mail was taken from the safes, it was later learned. The robbery was perpetrated by two men, both white. The train was the fast mail northbound. It reached Birmingham at 8:17 p. m. ESTABLISHED AUGUST 25, 1883, AND ISSUED EVERY WEEK ON TIME SINCE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1913. TELLS WHY N. A. M. WAS FORMED Another Witness Before the Lobby Investigators. Present Anti-Injunction Legislation and the Exemption of Union Labor From Prosecution Under Sher- Washington, D. C.—in his testimony in the lobby investigation James A. Emery declared that opposition to the closed shop principle and the aggressive demand of labor organizations for favorable legislation were the cause of the organization of the N. A. M, and the National Council of Industrial Defense and have since been the chief objects of attack by these associations. Mr. Emery appeared before both the senate and house lobby inquiry committees. Martin M. Mulhall was excused temporarily before the house committee on his plea that he is on the verge of nervous collapse. He promised the committee he would produce more letters bearing on his relations with congressmen, especially Fairchild of New York. Fight Against Two Features Fight Against Two Features. At present anti-injunction legislation and the exemption of union labor from the prosecution under the Sherman act, Mr. Emery told the house committee, are the two main features of legislation against which the manufacturers organization is working. To the senate committee he described the genesis of the N. A. M., stating that it represented the result of a natural evolution of employers associations which had been organized to offset the work of their enemy, organized labor. Emery described to the house committee a "prodding process" which the N. A. M. resorted to to get members of congress to vote against labor legislation. He denied that threats to defeat such members were the intervening step in such processes. Tells About Letter. In a letter of April 24, 1911, Henry R. Towne, a manufacturer of New York, wrote to Emery saying he favored "enlistment" of all employees of public service corporations so that they would be punished by law as "mutineers." Emery, in reply about the labor situation in congress, made this reference to Representative W. B. Wilson of Pennsylvania, now secretary of labor but then chairman of the labor committee: "In order to close all avenues of information to the committee or rather, to retain control of all of them, Mr. Wilson as chairman has his daughter clerk of the committee and his wife as janitress of the committee, a situation which suggests the well known ad: "Wilson, that all." PLANS PENSION FOR PASTORS Committee of Episcopal Church Recommends Giving Half Pay to Clerkgymmen Over 65. New York City—A half-pay pension for Episcopalian clergymen older than 65 and financial aid for widows and orphaned children of clergymen are recommended in a preliminary report issued by the commission on pensions of the Episcopal church. The pension plan, framed by Monell Sayre, an expert of the Carnegie foundation, after an exhaustive investigation of every pension system in the world, embraces in its scope the entire body of 5,500 clergymen employed in domestic and foreign fields. The annual obligations would be met, under the plan, by a tax on individual churches of 6 per cent of the amounts paid in salaries and scientifically graduated with respect to the ages at which their rectors were ordained. KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS ELECT Delegates to Convention Rename Practically all the Supreme Officers of Organization. Boston, Mass.—Practically all the supreme officers of the Knights of Columbus were re-elected at a session of the annual convention. The officers unanimously chosen were: Supreme knight, James A. Flaherty, Philadelphia; deputy supreme knight, Martin H. Carmody, Grand Rapids, Mich.; supreme secretary, William J. McGinley, New Haven, Ct.; supreme treasurer, Daniel J. Callahan, Washington. Dr. G. L. Harrington of Wisconsin withdrew from the contest for supreme physician in favor of Dr. E. W. Buckley of St. Paul. Man 27 Years in Bed. Dies Wellington, Mo.-Thomas L. Lockhart, after spending 27 years in bed, practically in one position, came to the death for which he had prayed. Lockhart's joints were ossified so that the only movements of the body he could make were a shrugging of the right shoulder and the middle points of two fingers on the right hand. With this shoulder and finger movement Lockhart had written an autobiographical book which had 'brought him funds sufficient to purchase his home. General Carranza, leader of the Constitutionalist forces in Mexico and chief opponent of the Huerta government, is the governor of the state of Coahuila. Couple-Leave Not! Saying "We Have Sinned but We Love Each Other; Sooner Trian Part We New York City—With a bright smile on her face and an expression of perfect peace and love clearly distinguishable many hours after death, the body of Miss Ellen Sidley was found lying beside the dead body of Harry G. Ellott, who had murdered her and then killed himself in a clump of bushes in Macombs dam park, the Bronx. Two shots had been fired into the woman each of which would have caused instant death and one shot into the man who had also died instantly. Even the face of Ellitt bore a calm and satisfied expression. John Gerring, a park employee, came upon the bodies suddenly while searching the bushes for waste paper. By the side of Ellitt lay a 38 caliber revolver with three out of the five cartridges fired. In the man's pocket was a note written in a feminine hand on expensive foreign note paper with a lavender border which read: "Aug. 4, 1912—To whom it may concern: This is to certify that we both have agreed to die together. We have sinned but we loved each other. Sooner than part we die together. Our wish is that our bodies will not be parted in death—Ellen Sidley-Harry G. Ellott." Pinned to the note was a card which read "Mr. H. Ellitt, 218 W. 148th st. New York city." A pathetic feature of the case was the discovery that the man and woman had carefully prepared for death. The position of the bodies indicated that Miss Sidley had stretched herself out on the ground and had removed her corsets, which she used as a pillow to prevent the possibility of the bullet being detracted in any way. She had come to the spot without underclothes of any sort aside from silk stockings, expensive black pumps and costly tailor-made foreign silk dress. She had removed her equally expensive straw hat mounted with two large and costly plumes before the fata! shot was fired. Elliott had prepared likewise, wearing merely a neat suit of blue, silk undershirt and collar and a straw hat bearing the name C. H. Gwynne & Son, London, England. MINE BLAST FATAL TO 19 MINE BLAST FATAL TO 19 Double Explosion In Colliery Kills Officials of Company and Also Foreigners Who Were at Work. Tower City, Pa.—The number of dead as a result of the double explosion at the Eastbrookside colliery of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal & Iron Co. was increased to 19 by the death at Pottsville of John Lowenz, mine superintendent. Of the dead seven were mine officials. They were working about the colliery inspecting as is the custom on days when the colliery is idle. An examination shows that almost all of the American workmen died as a result of being poisoned by the after damp, while the foreign workers were mostly all mangled and killed by shock. Six Killed in Riot. Sacramento, Cal.-District Attorney A. E. Manwell of Marysville, Constable L. C. Anderson of Wheatland, Deputy Sheriff D. Riordan of Marysville and three others are dead, Sheriff George H. Voss of Marysville, Marshal Scoggins of Wheatland, Postmaster John Johnson of Wheatland, George Billy of Marysville and a score of others are suffering from gunshot wounds as a result of a battle between the officers and 500 members of the Industrial Workers of the World in the hop fields in Wheatland. BESTOW PRAISE NOW BESTOW PRAISE NOW Nothing Gained by the Putting Off of Timely Word. Greatest as Weil as Lowiest of Mankind Welcome the Spoken or Written Phrase That Shows Enthusiastic Appreciation. How often after a play, a sermon, a concert that has stirred us we feel the impulse to make known to actor, preacher or musician what it has meant to us! Yet how often the impulse perishes as the warm glow of the instant's inspiration wanes—like a rill of water that runs alimessly to waste in desert sands and is lost. It is so easy to let the world of enthusiastic appreciation remain unspoken—perhaps by a trivial accident, such as the absence of pen and ink to serve our inclination. But had we written, had we said the word, it might have been just the lift that was needed toward the light and the air and life itself for a soul that struggled. We think the eminent men and women so strongly poised, so independently secure, so braced and fortified that they need no limping phrase of ours to bring them succor; but it is not so. Just because most people do not think—or else think and then forget—the one who gives generous rein to the feeling aroused, in the presence of the one who has aroused it, is a comfort and a reinforcement more than is realized except by the tired, grateful heart that is comforted. "Encouragement" literally means putting a heart in a person. That is what the timely letter or spoken words may do. A young man whom fate laid by the heels and compelled to take a protracted rest-cure was frankly discouraged. The busy life that edied and seethed about him seemed to have no use, no place for him. The future was as black as the bottom of a well. He cried out against the destiny that—at the golden culmination of promise—seemed to have relegated him among the failures and the unfit. Then there came a friendly; human, sympathizing letter. It was from an old man, a good man, a man of experience, fit to be an apostle and a philosopher. It reminded him of the fine saying of Henry Vaughan, "I climb when I lie down," and bade him to be the stronger, like Anteaus, for the contact with the earth. It concluded with the prayer that all his dreams with patience and waiting might come true. It gave him strength and the will to proceed, and comforted the chafing, rebellious spirit. He recovered and went back to his work again after the complete restoration, to health and happiness. Any one may leave unaided the timely word. Blessed is that man or woman who says it.—Philadelphia Public Ledger. Knew What He Wanted. A roughly dressed man went into a drug store and presented a doctor's prescription to the clerk. This paper called for ten grains of quinine, but when the druggist proceeded to do up the prescribed amount his customer objected. "Here; I want you to put that quinine on this prescription," he said; "and I want a lot more n what you've weighed out, too!" "But your prescription calls for only ten grains," exclaimed the clerk. "Never you mind; you dump all the quinine you can get on the paper the doc gave me. I know what he said I told him I wanted some quinine for a cold, and he says, 'You take this paper right over to the druggist and get it filled!'" McKinley's Stolen Stein. The abstinent habits of President McKinley led to an amusing incident during the visit of Prince Henry of Prussia to America. Desiring to honor the prince with a beer fest, and finding the White House cellars lacking the necessary equipment, the president ordered ten dozen stems from a local saloon. When Prince Henry "took the first observation" through one of these steins he found engraved on the bottom the words: "Stolen from Ernst Gerstenberg." Stein collecting patrons had laid the saloonkeeper under such heavy tribute that he had been forced to adopt this method of protecting his property. Taken at His Word. "Silk" O'Loughlin, the illustrious originator of "Strike Tuh," is not slow in his retorts to players who object to his decisions.

That was over my head," said Chase. No reply from Chase. The foot pitched came speeding in a foot over Chase's head. "Right in the same place," said Hal, smiling. "Oh, was it?

It was Mrs. J.

After many a hard fought love affair, in which several have been worsted, Cupid has been successful in piercing the heart of the romantic and rockless former King Manuel of Portugal.

Cupid has been successful in pleuring the heart of the romantic and reckless former King Manuel of Portugal. He has been fortunate in winning the heart and hand of Princess Augustina Victoria, who is both young and attractive. She is twenty-seven, tall, and athletic looking, has regular features and a great wealth of hair. The engagement took place in Sigmaringen castle, the home of the princess' father, where Manuel was visiting. The rumor of their impending betrothal has been about a year ago, the notice that the former king was spending so much time in Sigmaringen. At times it even reached the ears of the girl's parents, but they never have taken the Unrest at the certainty of a whole summer in the torrid climate of some climate of Washington has started legislators to considering the feasibility of the establishment of a "Summer Capital." PETER H. With the temperature driving the mercury into the neighborhood of the 100 degree mark and the evident determination of the leaders to hold congress "on the job" throughout the heated term, and, furthermore, the recollection that for the last five years every session has run well into if not clear through the "Dog-days." Representative Borland of Missouri is considering the desirability of laying plans for the midsummer transfer, in future years, of the place of holding the congressional session, at least during June, July and August, to some spot in the mountains contiguous to Washington. Miss Inez Milholland was married at the registry office in London the other day to Eugene Van Bolsse vain, to the utter surprise of her parents and friends. Neither her mother, who at present is in London, nor her father, who is in New York, had the slightest suspicion of her intention. P The other after noon her mother had the following startling telegram: "Married this morning. Will arrive with hus band for dinner at 7:30. Leaving for Holland at 8:30 p. m.—Inez Von Boisevaln." At first the family almost thought it a joke, but knowing Miss Inez' original and independent character, they concluded it genuine. 1 theist. It shows she possesses that which hundreds of thousands of men crave—a practical mind and will to operate it. After it became known that the employees of the railroads were in a mood to take drastic steps to force the railroads to meet their demands for increased wages, and before any of the leaders of this great army of employees, or any of the male managers of the various organizations seeking peace between capital and labor gave thought to the question of how the employer and employee could be brought together and induced to adjust their differences without injury to the general public, Mrs. Harriman conceived her plan. Secretary to the president, Joseph P. Tumulty, was at Avon, N. J. It was about dinner time. He was with his family. His telephone bell rang. He answered it. Mrs. Harriman was on the line, the other end of which was in New York. Mrs. Harriman told Mr. Tumulty that the trouble between the railroad managers and the employees was serious. The result was that a long telegram to the president at Cornish, N. H., where he was spending a few days with his family, telling him of the situation and pointing out the desire of all parties concerned to avoid an open conflict such as a strike. The president after reading the telegram from his secretary, instructed the latter to ask Secretary of Labor Wilson to arrange the conference. friendship seriously. They knew of the romantic nature of Manuel, and that his most desperate affaires de coeur had not ended seriously. Even when the young people announced their engagement their friends refused to congratulate them, for the young ex-king is supposed to be without any fortune and with many heavy debts resting on his shoulders. Since his banishment from his kingdom he has been leading a democratic life in Paris and London, consorting with artists, singers and other types of bohemians. Although Princess Augustina is not of the reigning family, her father was in direct succession to throne of Roumania. He renounced his right at Baden Baden. The present prince of the family has remained quiet most of the time in his historic castle, pitched on a high craig rising above the town of Sigmarlingen in Hohenolzern. Though Kaiser Wilhelm and Prince Wilhelm are both Hohenolzerns, they belong to different families. The kaiser calls the prince "cousin," but the blood relationship between them antedates the present generation. Therefore the marriage will not bring the former king into closer relationship with the kaiser. "It would be a perfectly feasible thing," said Mr. Borland. "Few people seem to realize when we are swintering here in the torridity of a Washington summer that not more than an hour's run by express train there runs a range of beautiful foothills averaging in altitude more than 1,500 higher than Washington itself. "The Blue Ridge is but fifty miles away. A lesser range, the Catocintis, are a scant forty miles distant from Washington. It would seem to me that a 'congress house', a roomy, alry, cool, and healthful sort of a place, to be built with a view to housing both branches of the national legislature and not at great expense, might be built." "It would not be necessary to transfer the whole legislative plant to the mountains. A building of concrete and steel with two legislative chambers and the necessary committee rooms could be constructed for a limited amount of money, probably for as little as $250,000, and certainly well with in the half-million mark. The plan is feasible enough, and 98 in the shade within the hall of the house of representatives is enough to make one think seriously of this proposition, which I would like to see investigated." It is understood that they are acquainted very slightly, if at all, with Eugene von Boissevain, whom Inez had only met a short time ago, casually in New York before he was their fellow passenger on the trip over. After a family reunion, the bride and bridegroom left for Amsterdam to visit the bridegroom's family, to whom the marriage came with as great surprise as to the bride's. Mrs. Boissevain was seen at her father's house in London after she had been to dinner, followed by a theater, with a party consisting of her husband, his brothers, Mrs. Milholland, Miss Veda Milholland and Mr. Marconi. Mrs. Boissevain, looking radiantly happy and beautiful, said: "We were married at the registry office in Marloes road, Kensington. I had to be married at that office because it is in the parish where I reside. I do not know how the report got about that we were married last Friday, unless it was because we cabled my father then that we had been married. We had to tell him that it had taken place because we knew he would object otherwise."

That Minneapolis Negro waiter who turned in the Gates $900 tip is now ready to enter the "pearly gates." He is entirely too conscientious and "good" for this miserable time and earth. Southern democrats in Congress did not have to worry long over the President's appointment of that Oklahoma Negro democrat as Register Napier's successor. Patterson "declined" the $4,000 a year job, so an Oklahoma Indian could be appointed, and everyone directly concerned seems to be happy, even Patterson. Good Lord! Scat! you "Negro democrat." J. M.

Beginning, August 1, 1913, the open saloon became a constitutionally legalized (business) institution in Ohio for the first time in the state's history. This makes our Ohio Civil Rights law the perfectly effective statute or measure we intended it to be when we secured its enaction in 1894. In 1900 a state supreme court decision exempted saloons, and of course restaurants in the same, from the provisions of the law on the general ground that the saloon business was not a legitimate business. The saloon is now "public place" of entertainment etc. under our Ohio Civil Rights law. Remember this and tell it. A MAN IN THE U. S. SENATE. But, (not Burton of Benj. Wade's state). Senator Clapp of Minnesota demands explanation from the Post master General regarding his order segregating the white and the Colored employees in his department. The Senator points to the fact that such employees have worked together without friction for half a century, and he asserts that there is no more reason, today, to make a change than there has been in the past; moreover the "new order" would cost the people 150,000 dollars annually extra. It is reassuring to find a man in these days who is not afraid to combat the tendency to moral reaction, the "New Freedom" democracy Professor Wilson (now President) is trying to foil on the Republic. Let us hope there are more of this kind in that body and that they will succeed in downing the Bourbons. AN OBLIQUE POINT OF VIEW. In a leader on the recent muddle the U. S. had with Japan on account of California's alien law bill, the Chicago Inter-Ocean, siding from "patriotic" reasons with the Californian view, requests the Japanese to be less sensitive upon the point of honor and to accept the American view, which is in accord with the belief in a special prejudice. The Inter-Ocean while acknowledging that, "in our brief national experience, race prejudice has somewhat decreased," and that we may hope for further decrease, yet de facto, if not de jure, race prejudice endorses it as an American trait, which "we" try our best to inculcate even in our newly arrived European immigrants, who are not yet infected with this un-Godly germ. The Inter-ocean is veritably brutally frank in confessing that race prejudice is, "undemocratic," narrow-minded, unethical; aye! unchristian, "yet we must" yield to it! Aye—but it is not "unchristian;" it is anti-christian, and there you are. TWO KINDS OF MEASURE In a lengthy review of the Johnson case the Chicago Abendpost, the leading German paper of the middle western states, reads the Government a chapter on its double-dealing because (evidently) of the race of the culprit. Without any tase for prize fights and vulgar sports and with no sympathy whatever for Jack Johnson, the editor asserts, "that if the culprit had been a white man the Government and its agents would not have exerted themselves to such a degree as to render its motives open to challenge; nor would the American press have indulged in publications with a glee that speaks for anything rather than justice and decency." "Abroad," says the Abendpost tersely, "the Americans veritably fulminate with enthusiastic proclamations of liberty, equality before the law, humanity and justice, but at home, the Negro is little less than the slave he was actually during slavery days; he is treated as an equal on paper, that is theoretically; in practice he is often treated like cattle." Of late this great American prejudice includes the yellow races, and it still maltreats its Indians." SHAME, O, SHAME! 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 will attempt to enrich the treasury of the Luna Park management at least once a year, usually in August and September, 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 an effort to make a few "tainted" dollars, for themselves or anything or anybody else in such a miserable way? That the alleged "emancipation celebration," of last Monday, was not the financial success anticipated, and the one last year was a failure, is due to the fact that the great mass of manly and womanly Afro-Americans of this community refused to attend it. The few who did, went with apologies on their lips, as a rule, and explained that they were there because relatives, some church or other organization with which they were connected, was directly interested in some phase of the unfortunate affair. Last year, led by the lamented Dr. G. A. Sissle, and Dr. H. C. Balley and other members, our ministers' Alliance of this city was active in the support of the position The Gazette has maintained all along in this matter. This year the Alliance failed to take the loyal and aggressive stand of last year, but individual members of it, like Dr. Chas. Bundy of St. John's A. M. E. church, spoke out against the "celebration" like MEN, from their pulpits, prior to last Monday. All honor to them—loyal, fearless and manly race men. Again, the privileges accorded Negroes in that park, on Monday last, were limited. We are informed that the dancing pavilion and rocker-skating rink were not opened to them until 6 p. m., and that the swimming room was closed both day and evening to them as was the case last year. The crowd in attendance was away below expectations, and the attendance at the dinner of the "association" that promoted the affair, also fell short, there being many empty plates. The fact that white men and women eagerly entered upon the floor to dance amongst the Negroes, in the evening, in spite of the effort to keep them off, stamps as false the statement that they (whites) object to dancing beside or with our people, in this city. It is this false premise as sumed by prejudiced management that cause color-lines to be drawn in such public places; and it is our people who, with the law favoring them permit them to be drawn day after day, and year after year. SHAME, O SHAME! The whole conduct of the entertainment, at Luna Park, Monday showed the indifference of the Negro management, toward their rights, and the courtesies due their manhood (?) and citizenship. And still our sighted Negroes continue "fattening frogs to feed snakes"; for, three of our organizations are announcing "outings," this and next month, at color-line Luna Park where they are welcomed on some "special" or particular day out of the four weeks the year, even then, in a restricted or limited way. May God help them "to see the light as they should" and stop their efforts at such "business" for any purpose whatsoever. MR. EDWARD C. BERRY Again "in the Harness"—Has Taken Charge of His Splendid Hotel. Athens, O.—There is no question about the increasing prejudice in this country. Mr. Ed. C. Berry recently took charge of his hotel again, the lease having been extended to him, he was about to lease the barber shop in his hotel, and said: "If I lease this shop to you, you are to shave Mr. E. C. Berry, Athens, O. me", and the fellow said: "Well, I won't shave you". To this Mr. Berry replied, "Then, that ends the matter of a lease to you". So you see, Mr. Smith, one can "read between the lines" of the preface! The South Carolina inoculation is on the increase in the OBITUARY. Mrs. F. H. Harleston of Charles town, S. c. sister of W. D. Mickey who was killed several years ago in the Mentor, O. wreck, died, Aug. 4 at her home in Charlestown. She leaves a husband, her deceased brother's two orphaned children, and other relatives, to mourn her demise.

Patterson of Oklahoma, Negro democrat to be the next president, declined the appointment and the President nominated Gabe E. Parker of Oklahoma, a Choctaw Indian, recommended by both Senators from Oklahoma and the Congressional delegation. The Senators fought at Patterson's nomination because he was a Negro. What Do You Think of This? Minneapolis, Minn.—Charles G. Gates, millionaire son of the late John W. Gates, nearly caused the collapse of the management of the Rogers Hotel cafe Monday night. His dinner check amounted to about $100. He called the waiter, pulled out a roll of $1000 bills, slipped off the top one and said: "Here, boy, keep the change for yourself." "Why, Mr. Gates, do you know this is a $1000 bill?" gasped the astonished waiter ("Negro"). "Yes, sure," said Gates; "that's all right, just keep the change anyway." Whereupon the Gates party left the cafe. The waiter reported the facts to the manager, turned $200 over to him and the cafe manager mailed Mr. Gates a check for the amount. JOHNSON TO GET $300,000. Boston, Mass. — Sam Langford through his manager, Joe Woodman has confirmed the report that he has agreed to meet Jack Johnson in Paris this fall to settle the heavy weight championship of the world. According to the announcement the fight is to be 29 rounds. Johnson is worth $32 million, lose or draw, and Langford is to receive 25 per cent of the gross receipts. Leading fight promoters estimate that the fight will draw more than $100,000 at the gate. This proves how silly and futile is the prejudiced world's championship effort to eliminate Jack Johnson.

Editor, Gazette, Dear Sir—I beg to acknowledge receipt of your card with reference to the proposed ex- tending of East 24th street. With reference to your inquiry I wish to state that the Sinking Fund Commission, at the last meeting I attended indicated that it would be the banks for the street opening provided the Director of Public Service would promise to proceed with this improve W. S. FitzGerald, ment when the money became available. Mr. Springborn wrote the Sinking Fund Commission that if they purchase the bonds, he would proceed with the work of opening the street. Shortly after Mr. Springborn's letter was received by the Sinking Fund Commission, W. J. Hart, attorney, instituted a suit against the Sinking Fund Commission and a temporary injunction. I was informed yesterday by the Secretary of the Sinking Fund Commission that the City Solicitor had advised the commission not to purchase any bonds until the suit instituted by Mr. Hart had been decided and that the commission had reviewed the view of these facts, it appears that nothing can be done with reference to the purchase of the East 24th street bonds at the present time. I will be glad to have you verify these facts through the Secretary of the Sinking Fund Commission. Verify firmly. W. S. FITZGERALD, Councilman 11 Ward. DRIVEN OUT OF TOWN.

The Wilmington College correspondent to the municipality of Blanchester to task and asks, are they "as careful to exclude undesirable white citizens as they are to keep out of Sambos." He reminds them that the white man brought the black man to this country and points out their inconsistency in making a Patron Saint of Theodore Roosevelt, the Booker T. Washington, of dark skin, in his home and ate with him at his own table." The voice of justice usually comes from high places. CORRESPONDENTS WANTED.

"Does anybody ever kick you in the nose?" said the ass. "Aye, does there," said the spider; "you and your like that are always walking on me, or lying down on me, or running over me." "Well, why don't you stay on the wall?" said the ass. "Sure, my wife is there," replied the spider. "What's the harm in that?" said the ass. "She'd eat me," said the spider. "Have you got a wife yourself now?" "I have not," said the ass. "I wish I had." "That's a bachelor's talk," said the spider; "all the same, we can't keep away from them."

The library contains 9,000 volumes at present. More will be added later. The new library is situated at 2200 E. 30th St., and, owing to the predominance of children in that district, will be especially well adapted to the needs of the boys and girls. A room will be furnished with a large desk, hours. Miss Rose Gymer is head librarian. She was librarian of the Perk branch.

Copeland, business directors, are well-known and a guarantee that of course, you will not miss it. Do not forget the wonderful singing and dancing Abyssinia Minstrels! Everybody will be there at the Grand Theater, Aug. 19 and 20. Beginning Aug. 1 the open saloon became a constitutionally legalized institution in Ohio for the first time in the state's history. Although the new liquor license became technically operative Aug. 1, it will not affect saloons until after the fourth Sunday in November, the beginning of the official license year. Hereof the liquor traffic has been taxed on the saloon, and the regulatory license law was enacted by the last legislature. The new law limits the number of saloons—one to every 500 people. Theoretically, character is to be the predominating factor in obtaining licenses. Lawabiding saloonkeepers in business prior to May 12, 1912, will be given the preference to own one saloon or be interested in a brewery. Bars of clubs and summer resorts and druggists selling liquor, except on prescription, are required to have a license. Minors are strictly barred from saloons, but to protect the saloonkeeper from misrepresentation, a person misstating his age is liable to punishment. A second violation of the liquor laws means revocation of license, but the officer entitled to own a liquor trial on the second day. Licensing power is vested in a state licensing commission, appointed by the governor. This commission in turn names a county licensing board in all "wet" counties, consisting of two members of opposite politics.

Some woman "mashed" a man in face with her fist, out at Luna park, Monday afternoon, cutting his face so it bled freely, so we are informed. She must have had on "some" ring. "Bee was plentiful away," said one at Luna park, some of our churches were "boosting" the practical failure! What do you think of that? Last year's "celebration" was a financial failure that we were several weeks learning the truth of. This year, it was about the same. Just wait and hear the truth, we have been heard on Luna park, the Ministers' Alliance would have been heard from this year, in this matter, as it was last year. GRAND LODGE AND HOUSEHOLD.

STATE CHAMPION NOT IN IT Real Hero of the Links in This Community Was the Man Who Refused to Play the Game. We had a chance to demonstrate our theory last fall, says a writer in the Topeka Capital. It worked like a potato in a rheumatic's pocket. Through the influence of the missus, who has friends, we obtained a card to a very select country club in an eastern state, where we stayed ten days. The club had golfists in its most acute form. The men and women who frequented the club played golf, talked golf, ate golf and slept it. It was the home of the state champion and the game was the one important tonic of conversation. For a day or two, we were lost in the atmosphere of golf which beforged the place. Then we began to attract a little attention by indicating in a delicate and polite way that the whole thing bored us to extinction. When we respectfully declined to engage in the game or borrow any of the implements connected with the sport there was great surprise. Our assertion that we did not play the game and did not wish to was received with amazement. Up to the time of our advent the state champion had been the colossal figure of the club. At the end of three days we had the state champion hanging on to the ropes. At the end of a week his existence had been forgotten. As a curiosity he had been crowded out of place by the "eccentric" Kansan who sat around reading the reports of the world's championship games, deaf to golf and all of its manifestations. It isn't always the hand that is dealt you. It is the way you play it. ACCORDED A HIGH POSITION Women of Servia, Well Educated and Able, Are Companions of Their Husbands and Brothers. There is no country in the world where women occupy a more dignified position in the home than Servia. The Servian idea is quite different from that of the Turk, who keeps his women behind shut doors or the German, whose ideal woman is a hausfrau. In Servia the woman is the companion of the man. A man is responsible for his unmarried sisters, and throughout the Balkan states it is considered rather a breach of etiquette for him to marry before his older sister. No Servian girl would feel she could hold up her head in society unless she could speak four languages. There is hardly a Servian woman who cannot play some musical instrument. Embroidery, painting, drawing, and sculpture are all studied. Politics is a popular feature among women. Servian women are very domesticated and the highest ladies pay personal attention to trivial matters of house-keeping. There are two women doctors practicing in Belgrade, and several women teachers. But public opinion, as is the case against women entering the labor area, Jekyll and Hyde Both Out. One day Mr. Jenkins, senior partner in the firm, came out of his private office and handed Jimmy, the office boy, a slip of paper and said: "Here, Jimmy, go over to the public library and get me 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.' I have written it on a piece of paper for you so that you will not forget." Jimmy lost the slip of paper on the way. When he discovered his loss he returned to the office without going to the library and was seated at his little desk innocently shooting flies with a rubber band when Mr. Jenkins said to him: "Well, Jimmy, where's 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?'" "Please, Mr. Jenkins," responded Jimmy with well feigned candor, "the lady at the library said they both just went to the ball game and to call for them in the morning." FOR SALE!

Jack seems to be able to hit the pill as well as ever, and he doesn't need any advice as to how to play his position. A college course in baseball at Harvard is a suggestion made in all seriousness by William F. Garcelon, graduate manager of athletics. He says that a football course also would not be amiss. Pitcher Rube Benton of the Reds is becoming quite a hitter. In a recent game he poled out three bingles, scored three runs and, best of all, turned a squeeze play and then beat the ball to first. The pasing of Letty Leifield from the National league marks the going of a pitcher who was one of the best left-handers of his time. He helped the Pirates win many a game. For once Manager Mcfraw got the worst of it in a trade. Both Josh Devore and Groh are playing a brilliant game with the Reds, hitting and fielding in superb style. Al Demaree, the Giants' recruit pitcher, broke into the majors by beating the Boston Braves and it seems to have become a confirmed habit with him since. Chicago has six players in the .300 class. They are Tommy Leach. "Red" Corridon, Bert Humphries, Heline Zimmerman, Joe Benz and Johnny Beall. Walter Johnson has a reach of 82 inches, or just two inches less than seven feet. His great length of arm is said to be a factor in his tremendous speed. Whenever the Nap wrecking crew, comprised of Lajoie and Jackson, fails to connect, the team is of second-division caliber, according to a Cleveland critic. When Hap Myers, recruit first sacker of the Braves, is in full stride stealing bases, he covers nine feet at a stride, something unusual in running. This year the Athletics are said to be the greatest drawing card on the American league circuit, supplanting the Tigers and Tyrus Cobb in that respect. Walter Hirsch, the Cotton States pitcher whom the Reds bought a year ago, but never used, has been made manager of the Meridian (Miss.) club. Danny Murphy, captain of the Athletics, can't see how anybody is going to stop the White Elephants. "It's going to be a walkaway," said Danny. It is reported that Bill Brennan will be the National league umpire with the Giants and Sox on their tour around the world next winter. The rumor that is going the rounds now is Sheckard was let out by Miller Higgins because he feared the veteran Cub would get his job. Ted Sullivan is busy making preparations for the tour around the world of the Giants and White Sox, of which he is the director general. Another Larry Cheney will join the majors. This one halls from Youngstown, Ohio, and has been signed up by the Beston Rew Sox. Jimmy, Johnston of Frisco is not only showing them the way to steal bases on the coast, but he is beginning to climb in hitting. Schulte, who started off the season for the Chicago Cubs as if he were going to lead the league in hitting, has taken a big slump. Christy Mathewson has turned play-wright. He has written a baseball play called "Fair Play," which will be produced next fall. Hy Jasper, who has just been purchased by the White Sox from the Ducubec (iowa) Three I league team, is a spitballer. Ward Taylor Miller, the Cubs' outfielder, is older than most fans imagine. He has passed his twenty-eighth yearstone. Misbehavior and dissension in the ranks of the Phllces get the blame for their recent sad showing in some quarters. Joe Tinker is shaking hands with himself for his faith in one Mordecal Brown's ability to come back. Amos Strunk, the former association player at Milwaukee, has become one of the Athletics' standbys. Eddie Collins is the leading American league infielder at starting double plays. He has launched 16. Shortstop Maranville of the Braves continues to shine as one of the bright stars of the season. Eddie Plank and Chief Bender have landed nearly half of the games won by the Athletics. Connie Mack declares his pitching staff is as good as any corps in the league. Ray Chapman of Cleveland has the honor of leading the sacrifice hit col- umn. Milan, Collins and Moeller are the three leading base runners of the masters. A. B. President Jimmy McAleer of the Boston Red Sox says he is going to be one of the party to go around the world next fall with the Sox and Giants. He could not get on the last world's tour, he says, and does not propose to get left out this time. The frequent additions of new stars to the White Sox team indicates Manager Callahan has made up his mind to get a winning combination if such a thing is possible. Nick Altrock gets credit for most of the success of the sensational young Joe Boehling, and he now has taken the boy southpaw, Harry Harper, under his tutelage. McCormick of the Giants is one of the greatest pinch hitters in the business, but when placed in the game as a regular he seems to lose his batting eye. Rariden, the Boston catcher, has been rapidly advancing in the batting averages, and his rival, Whaling, seldom gets a chance these days. Manager Griffith says he will never again try to build up a team with veterans from other clubs. He will not buy any more cast-off players. Age isn't showing up old John Titus a great deal. The veteran fielder is hitting at a .230 clip and is Stallings' most dependable player. Fred Clarke tried out 28 men for his team this year before he found a combination that could win. The Buffalo team of the International league is first in fielding and last in batting in the league. The remarkable improvement of Steve O'Nell behind the bat is the talk of the Nap camp. Umpires are often roasted alive in this country and little comment is made. Manager Stovall is the only .300 sticker on the St. Louis team. Jake Stahl's contract to manage the Red Sox expires next fall. Otis Crandall is leading the Giants in batting. SPORTING WORLD Since the adoption of the Poughkeepsie-Highland course on the Hudson river by the Eastern Intercollegiate Rowing association in 1895, 52 races have been held, including varsity and freshmen eights and varsity fours. Cornell has been successful 33 times and in addition Cornell holds every record for the last course. Syracuse has won eight races, Pennsylvania six, Wisconsin two, Columbus two and Yale one. Harry Payne Whitney, who captained the polo team which again successfully defended the America cup against the challenging English squad, will, it is reported, build a $100,000 tennis court on his country estate. It is to be glass roofed, electric lighted and steam heated. Leo Friede of the Manhattan Canoe club was successful in defending the international canoe challenger trophy for the New York Canoe club against Ralph B. Britton of the Gananoque Canoe and Motor Boat club, the Canadian challenger. Naughton still believes that if Ad Wolgast would forsake city life and take to training seriously, that he could make himself a dangerous contender for the lightweight title Ritchie wrung from him on a foul. The profits of the initial round of the Davis cup matches between the United States and Australian tennis teams played in New York amounted to $12,000. Axtoll, 2:12, earned upward of $150,000 in the stud. He was bred to 788 mares and got 549 foals. For four years his stud fee was $1,000. The eastern intercollegiate cross-country run will be decided over the Van Cortlandt park course, New York city, on November 22. Philadelphia has 105 playgrounds and will give free swimming instruction to children under fourteen years this summer. San Francisco plans to hold light harness racing in 1915 and give $20,000 purses, open to the world. The new Imperator ocean liner includes a running track in its equipment. The French army has mounted boxing as a new kind of physical exercise. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, C. SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1913 --- DIAMONDS DECK EVENING SHOES Fashionable Parisiennes Go to Extremes in Costliness of Their Footwear. STOCKINGS OF TINTED LACE Traced With Silver Threads, These Are Costly, but Mark the Extreme of Elegance—Necklaces and Ropes of Pearls Have Become a Rage. PARIS.—Over here in Paris we have been interested in the article recently published in the United States on the subject of "Mile. Prince and the Paris Dressmakers." Mile. Prince is a charming actress and a very pretty woman; more than that, she is possessed of excellent ideas. Mile. Prince insists that in the world of dress women are looked down on if they do not spend a great deal of money each year on dress, but I, myself, have heard Worth say that many of his best customers think nothing of wearing the same gown two seasons or more, and that there is no reason why they should not do so. In theory Mile. Prince is right, but it does not appear that she has gone very deeply into the subject. When one speaks of the "world of dress" one means the world in which the art of dress is thoroughly appreciated and understood; not a "world" in which Mime. A dresses for the purpose of outdressing Mime. B., regardless of expense and suitability. Expensive Evening Shoes Expensive Evening Shoes. Some of the newest evening shoes are made of pearl gray satin outlined with very small rose diamonds. Those pearl gray shoes are exceedingly becoming and they are worn by cobweb silk stockings in the palest shade of gray, which have traceries in silver threads running up the fronts. The new evening shoe is that made of white peau de soie, cut very low in front; this shoe is richly embroidered in silver and incrusted with fine paste. It is worn with stockings composed entirely of fine lace, and these stockings sometimes show clocks reined in thy diamonds. Very large sums of money are now spent on shoes and stockings for after- Simple Evening Coliffure In Seed Pearls and Diamonds. Simple Evening Colliffure in Seed Pearls and Diamonds. noon and evening wear. The gowns of the present day are cut in such a way that they display the feet and ankles freely, with the result that the cost of shoes and stockings has increased enormously. For wear with ball dresses some ultra smart Parisiennes vote in favor of lace stockings traced over with diamond sparks and of very low shoes in black satin, which in conjunction with the white stockings give a Goya impression. Difficulties of Combination. Personally I think that only a Spanish dancer from Seville or Cordova can wear black shoes and white stockings with good results. Everything depends upon type. And with a full skirt of bright colored silk and a gorgeous manton de Manila these quaint little shoes look wonderfully dainty. For ordinary evening wear low shoes made of metallic leather in pale pastel shades are effective; these are made in various shades of blues and greens, as well as in old rose and pale nut brown. This particular leather is curiously prepared. It is very soft and supple, and in certain lights it shows a metallic gleam which is attractive. Such shoes as these should have handsome buckles, either in old paste or in enamel set in a rim of diamonds or of seed pearls. Some of the new shoe buckles are things of real beauty; very original in design and executed in the most artistic materials. Lace stockings freely traced with silver threads are fashionable this season; in all the pale tints they look charming; almost fairlike, but I do not like black stockings worked in either gold or silver. Accessories for Street Wear. For street wear plain black or white silk stockings are the correct thing. These are worn in conjunction with smart cothurnes made of black glove kid and laced with black satin ribbons. For street wear cothurne fittings should be very plain, even if rich. They must not call attention to the feet and they must be of the same color as the shoes. This season we find a marked change in connection with jewels for evening wear. The idea that the diamond tiara was suitable only for private dinner parties or for gala performances at the opera has gone out of Hawkward Haspirate. Perhaps it is for the reason that the influence of American visitors to London has begun to have its effect on the spoken Britannic tongue; at any rate it is remarked in the great city there has been an awakening in favor of the letter h, "the hawkward haspirate," never before known, and that fairly well educated English people are now taking up their h's and applying them where they belong. On the other hand, in the absurd use of the article an before an aspirate one may fashion; this season in Paris we find diamond tiaras worn freely in the evening, and by women of the beast type. But then the tiara of today differs very considerably from its companion of yesterday. The newest diamond tiaras are really like large combs. They are rarely high and the favorite form is that known as the Greek bandeau. This is a broad, rather flat, shape which is worn well forward on the head and which looks, as I have said, more like a large comb than a tiara. It is a particularly becoming shape to women who are possessed of small heads, and it is very useful since it can be worn on almost any occasion without attracting undue attention. Then the present rage for necklaces and ropes of pearls is becoming a serious affair. It is essentially a pearl season. Women think nothing of appearing at the opera wearing four and five ropes of magnificent pearls hanging low over their bust; and these ropes, when real, are of very great value. But then it is not every one who possesses ropes of real pearls. The result of this is that a vast quantity of artificial pearls are now worn in the evening, and by women of good position. Fashion's Whim Deplored. This is a pity. Real pearls are lovely things which seem to become part of their owner. They seem to be alive. It is certain that they change in color and that they are affected by the health of those who wear them. Milk white pearls have always been associated with beautiful, ultra feminine, women; it is a thousand pities to make them common. I have lately noticed that diamond chains are again fashionable, those long chains of clear set stones which give a ripple of light on the front of an evening dress. For several years past these diamond chains were not considered correct. Another novelty in the jewelry world is the flat plaque which used to bear the name of stomacher. This is an important looking ornament which lies across the bust and gives a majestic appearance to the figure. Some of the queens of old used to wear these elaborate ornaments on state occasions, but it has been left to modern women to make the fashion an ordinary one. I have seen large stomachers in diamonds or in diamonds and turquois worn with quite simple dinner gowns. The result was good, it must be admitted. Nevertheless I am of opinion that this tendency to overload the person with jewels ought to be checked if possible. There ought to be a wide gulf between the ornaments worn at a court reception and those worn at a fashionable theater. Among the week's novelties I must record the quaint little race mantles of tusser silk embroidered in Japanese fashion, with floss silks. These mantles are very loose and vague in design and they can be pulled on over the most elaborate corsage with the greatest ease. A lovely model has very full sleeves finished off with plaited frills of beige colored net, and the tusser surface is decorated with irregular flowers worked in black and white floss silks. At the neck the mantle closes tightly to keep out the dust and there is a tour de cou of plaited net similar to that on the sleeve frills. Tusser, Elaborately Embroidered. Another wrap of the same order, also composed of tusser, had embroideries carried out in dull blue floss silk, tipped with black. This wrap was very voluminous and in front it crossed from side to side, being fastened by two large buttons of blue enamel. The lining of this latter wrap was of shot gauze which showed tones of blue and mastic. Another novelty is the scalloped shoulder cape, made of Indian muslin, for wearing with linen suits. The scallons are worked over with embroidery silks and very often the cape is edged under the scallops with a plaited frill of tulle. Shoulder capes of all kinds are becoming more and more fashionable as the summer season progresses; as often as not the cape is finished off in front with an immense loose bow of net or tulle. Long tulle sleeves, finished with wide frills, are also popular novelties. These sleeves are worn with the new sleeveless baleros and they are almost transparent. Lines of Hat Important The all white hat is charming on the beach, and the hats trimmed with very high bows of white moire or tafetta with picot edges are as decorative as they are practical. While ribbon is for the moment a little more fashionable than feathers, there are effective feathery fantasies which the dampness does not affect and any number of quills and wings which are very appropriate in aquatic surroundings. The wings poised across the front are a little newer than those shooting out in the back, but it is far more important to have becoming lines in the hat than to have the trimmings arranged according to the fad of the hour. Summer Bedroom Slippers. A pretty and cool pair of bedroom slippers for summer use can be made with a pair of quilted-satin soles and about a yard and a half of satin ribbon of the same color and about seven or eight inches wide. Sew one edge of the ribbon around the edge of the soles, without making any fullness until you come to the toe, then gather the ribbon quite full on both edges to form the shape of the toe, and sew to the sole. Turn in the upper edge of the ribbon and run narrow elastic through.

WIT and HUMOR STRATEGY OF GEORGIA YOUTH STRATEGY OF GEORGIA YOUTH Resorted to Cute Artifice to Gain Possession of His Uncle's Pet Newfoundland Dog. Representative Tom Bell of Georgia, one of the assistant "whips" of the lower house, has a favorite nephew, aged ten. Also he has a Newfoundland dog which he cherishes more than he does his job. The nephew also thinks a lot of the dog. In fact, he has suggested more than once to his uncle that Rags—that being the dog's name—would be most acceptable as a gift. A few weeks ago, indeed, tired of beating about the bush, he came right out and asked for the dog. But he was refused. "You see," said Bell, "I have to keep Rags to guard the house when I'm not here. If I give him to you I wouldn't have anybody to keep bad men away." The nephew pondered over this remark long and earnest, and finally went home wrapped in thought. The next day he was back again. "Uncle Tom," said he innocently, "do you believe in prayer?" Representative Bell fervently declared that he did. "Well—well—if you pray hard enough for anything do you think God would give it to you?" "Yes," said Bell. "I think he would." "Even a dog?" inquired the newhew, still innocently. Bell hesitated, but it was no time to welch; and so, firmly, he replied, "Yes, even a dog." "Then," said the nephew, triumphantly, "then you just give me your dog and you pray for another one!"—Washington Star. Lesson From the Past The agent of the accident insurance company had tackled Noah. "According to your own story, uncle," he said, "you are going to be afloat in a short time in a ship built on dry land, without any motive power, and you don't know a thing about sailing a vessel, anyhow. You can't tell what may happen to you. Don't you think you'd better take out some accident insurance?" "Young man," said Noah, "I lived to be 600 years old and I'll be still alive when you and your insurance company have perished from the face of the earth. Will you please step off the gangplank? You're in the way of the animals that are trying to come aboard." Noah, as we learn from the records, was no victim of misplaced confidence, either. He lingered 350 years after this incident. A STARTER. The Youth—Don't you think you could learn to love me? The Maid—Wait until I see the engagement ring. Considerate Spouse Rich Old Husband—I admit that you come of a famous family, while I belong to the newly rich, but is that any reason why you should always be indirectly reminding folks of that fact? Charming Young Wife—I? How? Rich Old Husband—You are forever talking about your ancestors. Charming Young Wife—Really, my dear, you do me injustice. My reason for keeping people reminded of my great-grandfather is to make you seem younger by contrast. Clear Case. Clarence—As I undahandt it me, boy old Gotrox first told you that you could have his daughter and then went back on his word? Willy—That's just 'bout th' size of it, bah Jove! Clarence—Then, deuce take it, old chap! I should just sue him for non-support, that's all—Puck. Keeping the Hopper Full. "There's only one trouble with our legislature," said Farmer Corntossel. "What is that?" "Too industrious. It kin think up more laws than you could obey in a lifetime." Old-Fashioned Cure. "Sore throat, eh? Get your wife to give you one of her old stockings to wrap around your neck." "Tried that and it did me no good. She had nothing but these new-fangled openworks." "Society ladies are taking up the suffrage cause." I always looked for it. Now well see the high handshake in politics."
