Dancing Every Thursday Evening at Barksdale's Academy, 10550 EUCLID AVENUE THIRTY-FIFTH YEAR. No.38 THE EAGLE SAYS HE DOESN'T PURPOSE TO BECOME OBJECT OF CHARITY So at 50 He Declares He Will Get Into Business—Scores "Knocking" Parishioners. Pueblo, Colo.—Declaring that he is tired of being buffeted about from pillar, he post "at the whim of any conflagration which may desire a change in preachers," the Rev. W. T. Hilton, for the past four years pastor of the Central Christian Church of this city, tendered his resignation from both the church and the ministry in a sensational farewell sermon. He had been asked to resign because of lack of harmony in the congregation. The retiring pastor chose for his subject "The Discouragements of Presaching for a Living," and handled it without gloves. "Some persons regard the average preacher as a sort of a brainless essay," he said. "In their opinion, he is too bloodless a creature to deserve classification as a human being. When I started to college, thirty years ago, it was with great ambitions for the future. I saw myself rising to the heights. But in the quarter of a century which has passed in the work I have been cruelly undecolled. "I am now 50 years old. In ten years more there will be more wrinkles on my brows than now. The church has no use for a 60-year-old minister. In the church I face the prospect of being an object of charity when I am old. I have ten years of active life still before me, and I do not purpose to spend it preaching." One of the hindrances in church work, the retiring pastor said, is the fact that a congregation soon grows tired of any minister and begins wanting a change. When my successor arrives, you will give him a royal reception," he said. "He will be wined and dined and treated as a very distinguished visitor." When after this splendid reception, he and his wife are alone that night one of them will say to the other: "Wonder which of that bunch will be the first to start knocking." Hilton added that, beginning at once, he proposed to enter upon a business career. He will continue to live in Dublo and to attend the same church from which he has resigned. We show that he bore no malice, he insisted that the whole congregation come forward to shake hands with him at the close of the sermon. Hundreds of men, women and children responded with the tears streaming down their faces. DOLL DOZES OFF GRADUALLY Man invents One That Goes to Sleep While Being Rocked. "When little girls put their dolls to sleep like real babies, so I simply devised a way for the doll to do that, by going on a physically while bonded." Thus spoke William A. Trost, a traveling salesman, who has invented a doll that does practically everything that a human baby does except breathe. Shewer of Butterflies We may find out something surprising about the commonest things when we begin to read books. The big monarch butterfly, who lives on milkweed, migrates like the birds. He spends the winter in the south and goes north in the spring. This is the big one with black markings on his orange-brown wings. Sometimes butterflies have been found far out at sea. They have been known to fly from one island to another, hundreds of miles apart. These migrating swarms of butterflies have often been seen by sailors. One naturalist describes a shower of butterflies that he saw off the South American coast. It extended as far as the eye could reach and even with a telescope it was not possible to find where there were no butterflies. A large swarm of a certain kind of butterfly was once seen by some sailors, out at sea. 1000 miles from the nearest place where such butterflies were known to live. They were probably going somewhere else to settle. The white mountain butterfly is one of the most interesting. It is found only on the top of the White mountains and at the top of the Rocky mountains, on the very highest peaks. It is supposed that there butterflies were distributed over all the northern part of the United States during the glacial period, which was just before the present period in North America. With the gradual coming of warmth to the continent these butterflies were driven to the tops of the mountains, where it was coolest, and there they are found today.

Waters, was found in a dying condition. Saturday, having fallen from a third story window. He lived on that floor in a flat here with his family. It is thought that he leaned, too far out of the window bidding some friends (visitors) "good night." He died, Sunday afternoon. Mr. Waters had held many minor political positions in the last decade and was assistant clerk of the state supreme court of his death. His hosts of friends and acquaintances throughout the country will deeply regret to hear of his tragic death. A wife and daughter, a teacher in our schools of this state, survive him and have the earnest sympathy of the community. JUDGE ROBERT H. TERRELL Reappointed and Confirmed-A Unique Record—Our Only Judge The recent appointment of Judge Robert H. Terrell by President Wilson to succeed himself on the Municipal Court bench of the District of Columbia, and the confirmation of the nomination by the U. S. Senate, last Thursday, makes a rather unusual record. Judge Terrell is the second member in point of service of the five members of the Court. He has served sixteen and one half years consecutively. He has been confirmed by the Judge Terrell Senate five times. His appointments have come from three Presidents, all of whom are living. Roosevelt named him twice, Taft once, and Woodrow Wilson twice. He is the only Republican on the bench of the Municipal Court, but has the backing of the lawyers of the District almost to a man without regard to politics. During his tenure, he has paid in many cases of great importance to the people of his community. His re-appointment meets the heartiest, approval of all classes of citizens of the District of Columbia, among whom he has always maintained an unusual popularity. THE MORAL CONQUEST OF AMERICA By the American Negro In 1914 a black tree to America was a red flag to a bull—an unassimilable, non-adjustable, "third something" —an ill one word—"bridge of JOBS" In 1918 the same black" face is found to be in fact the oasis in a desert—the one absolutely reliable good thing out of Nazareth—a sort of balm in Gilead—a good proof positive of the absence of the bomb of anarchy or the poison of the assassin—an inducer of dreamless sleep—something that can fit in anywhere and be trusted with anything—a good omen of loyalty—A NATIONAL ASSET. This is the most distinguished achievement of the American Negro in his three hundred years of residence in this country: That by the superlative courage of patience under suffering he has finally constrained a great nation to take his character for what it is—REAL AMERICAN! This he has done by the sublime power of indigenous destroyers and long range guns. Verily are the victories of peace no less renowned than those of war. But after the war, let us say, in 1920—WHAT? "In the Beginning." So it begins in Holy Word. But not all beginnings are good and cruel. For example, we are going to win this terrible war in the END, in spite of the false beginnings of some of our leaders and in spite of the Germans. And the end is often very different from the beginning. In the beginning Lincoln said in effect; "This war will not disturb slavery"—and in the end he wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. General Ballon, of the 92nd Division, has according to the press, made one of these erroneous beginnings: not because he counsels his colored soldiers to be generous in dealing with the prejudices of their white fellows, but because he sweetens (2), this counsel with the bitterness of a threat. He has also ruled out arbitrary rights as American citizens; however, "legal" their claim, the white men "who made" them will "break" them. I do not know what men the 16 HON. JAMES WELDEN-JOHNSON National Organizer of the N. A. A. C. P, and Francis E. Young, President of the Local Branch of the Organization, Refused in an East End Restaurant Mr. Johnson, a distinguished member of the race, came to the city, last Saturday, to speak at St. John's A. M. E. church for the purpose of assisting in the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P.'s "Moorfield Storey" drive for new members. He was met at the E. 105th St. railroad station by Mr. Young to whom he expressed a desire for something to cat. The latter escorted Mr. Johnson to a restaurant in that section of the city and both wore a dress that was appropriate of their race or color, or both. In opening his talk at the church, Sunday afternoon, Mr. Johnson made brief reference to their harrowing experience and said that Cleveland was evidently in need of work the N. A. A. C. P. had been organized to do and was certainly right. That reminds the Gazette of the fact that in recent years it has frequently called on the local N. A. A. C. P. branch in vain, time and again, to assist in just such a situation. He did not done anything of the kind it has been kept "mighty" quiet. This is one of the several important charges that have been brought against the local organization to its detriment for a long time and is hoped that the insulting treatment accorded the two gentlemen named—officials of the N. A. A. C. P.—by that color-line East End restaurant Keeper will be resented by the organization in a legal way, and promptly, too. Twenty-four years later, in the late sixties, the first bill the writer introduced was what is now the Ohio Civil Rights law, covering just such cases as the one-made by that restaurant refusal of last Saturday. Both John- General refers to. For that class of white men in America is not at the head of the government; but are he found in East St. Louis and a few hamlets of Tennessee. Soldiers without personal pride would be mighty poor material to pit against the proud German. And what we must all do at home now is to bend, our energies to BREAK THE ENEMY and not each other. People, and their sensible friends, devoutly wish for the same thing which General Ballou no doubt wants, but which his methods, as exhibited in this order, will not get: That the brave block soldiers will be high minded and ingenious enough not to allow any small thing to deter them from the great honor which they now pursue or the duty that they now perform; and that they will be generous to the faults of their home land, and as for bearing as possible, to the very annoying attitude of some of their fellow-country men. The average Negro. He the average man, is very amenable to sympathetic advice, but rather insensible to threats and scares. Therefore, he is fit to fight the German. I cannot think for other people, but I can say what I believe I WOULD do of the other fellow's job were mine. If I were a leader of white men in America today, I believe I would counsel there to sacrifice for the time being as much as possible of their unprofitable prejudices upon the alter of our country's future. As Americans and men (neither black nor white) we must all subordinate the internal WAR which confrends us as a nation and a civilization. The National Colored Liberty Congress will convene in Washington, D. C., from May 29 to June 2. Every society and organization is asked to send a delegate. The sole object of the Congress, which is made by permission, is to secure a guarantee from Congress of a restitution of equality of civil and political rights and the civil rights of the German.

The famous 8th Illinois Regiment, the only all-colored American regiment commanded by a colored colonel, left Newport News, Va., last Saturday, "Somewhere in France." — Chicago Idea. For the first time in the history of this country, the race is to be represented in the Annapolis Naval Academy. As a result of a competitive son and Young can enter suit for damages to the amount of $500 each and each can be a witness for the others. There can be no good excuse for a failure to do so. Such a failure, would be a parody on the boasted claims of the organization and harmful to all the members of the race in this city, many of whom have been contributing their good money to it for years and patiently awaiting just some action in favor of the race from it. Holding big meetings only, practically, is not honest and it is now high time for some practical effort and action as will result from the institution of the Johnson and Young civil rights suits referred to. There would be little or no color-line drawing in the public places of entertainment, etc., of this city and state if our people would assert their manhood and use our Ohio Civil Rights law oftener as we have steadily pleaded with them through the columns of the Gazette Talk is good sometimes but it is not enough when matters reach the stage of the Johnson-Young and similar experiences in this and other parts Ohio, to say the least. The rest of Mr. Johnson's address was devoted to an account of the work of the national organization in the East St. Louis riot cases, the Louisville, Ky., segregation suit and kindred matters. He is an interesting talker and a man of sunscreen, a man of a able man to the race to be insulted and mistreated as he was, just Saturday, in that East End restaurant. He was furnished a large and interesting audience, Sunday afternoon, and the meeting was a success. The National Colored Liberty Congress will convene in Washington, D.C., from May 29 to June 2.

The Cleveland (Ohio) Gazette reports that a Colored man's Townsite and Colony over near Jacksonville, this state, heretofore by the name of Dandy will hereafter be known as Cuney and is now a L. S. P. O. town. The Meddler wishes the enterprise God speed; for it seems perfectly clear to us that only in incorporated towns of his own, has the Texas colored man any chance of getting any training in theory and practice of civil government, and of getting anything like equitable returns for the taxes he has paid in the proposed tax. The Gazette informs us that there a suitable monument to the late Norris Wright Cuney for whom the town has been named, and we wish that expectation happy fruition also—Waxahachie (Tex.) Meddler. IN JUNION WE IS STRENGTH SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS SAVE CIGAR ASHES RECOMMENDED U: S. FLIICKS AWAY $50,000,000 ANNUALLY, HE SAYS Tells Why Tobacco Refuse Should Be Collected Where Much Smoking Is Done. The war is teaching the rations of the earth how much they have been throwing away. Germany was supplying the world with potash, and as the supply has been cut off there, France, England and the United States have been put to it to supply the great need of this important product. The latest discovery of a large source of potash, which has been overlooked, was made by Prof B. A. Burroll of London, who shows that England is throwing away tons of potash in a very usable form. He has made a special study of the ashes derived from burning tobacco, in pipe, cigar and cigarette, and he has proved that 30 per cent of the tobacco is preserved as ashes, and that from these ashes may be extracted 20 per cent of potash and 5-6 per cent of anhydrous phosphorus. He found that a cigar weighing two ounces left more than one-half ounce of ash, which yielded 1 per cent of potash. Twenty cigarettes weighing a little more than one ounce yielded one third of an ounce of ash and one-twentieth of an ounce of potash, and a pipe stuffed with tobacco gave a similar percentage of ash and potash. He claims that it would be well worth while to collect tobacco ashes, especially where much smoking is done, as in the clubs and hotels and restaurants. On one day Professor Burrell collected nearly three ounces in a hotel lobby, over three ounces in a restaurant and nearly fourteen ounces from a theater where smoking was permitted. He figured that as England smokes 45,241 tons of tobacco a year, they would get 15,373 tons of ashes and 2,715 tons of potash by saving the ashes. In the United States the consumption of tobacco is far greater. We produce more than 1,000,000,000 pounds, we import over 45,000,000 pounds from Cuba and Porto Rico, besides imported cigars - containing more than 41,000,000 pounds and 85,000,000 worth of manufactured tobacco and cigars, but our consumption is more than 700,000,000 pounds a year. This would yield over 220,000,000 pounds of ashes, from which we would secure more than 44,000,000 pounds of potash and some 10,000,000 pounds of anhydrous phosphorus. The value of both of these products has increased so enormously since the war began that it is easy to see how we are flicking away something like $50,000,000$, which could easily be saved by gathering the ashes from all the ash receivers and selling them to chemists who are equipped to extract the potash and phosphorus. EXHIBITS TALKING DOG TO THEATER MANAGER Woman's Bull Terrier Said 'to' Imitate Words Like a Parrot A dog which seems to have a parrot's skill in memorizing and imitating words was in New York the other day. It mistress, Mme. A. E.Richard of Columbus, Ohio, brought it to interview a theater manager for a position in vaudeville. "What do I hand you when you are mad?" Mme. Richare asked, beginning the conversation to show the manager the dog's ability as a conversationist. "Lem-on," the dog replied. "Whom do you love?" she next asked. "Love my mam-ma," came the an awer with amazing distinctness. "Don't know," came the reply. "Where do you want to go?" "Home, mam-ma." The dog answered many other questions, but these were its most distinct utterances. Its "mam-ma," "jamb" and "lem-on" were enunciated as clearly as tho-it were a person answering, and the other words were sufficiently clear to be understood readily. The dog's name is Zydis, an English bull terrier. It is 3 years old. Mine. Richard has been training it since it was one month old.

SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1918 While we are "war stamping" here, the boys across the ocean seem to be doing a little "war stamping" over there on their own account. They are examining soldiers for hookworm. It might be a good idea to test some of the officials in the War Department while they are at it. Russia is the only nation God ever made that seems to be really too proud to fight. It also seems to have met up with considerable peace without victory, too. Two hundred pounds of bread were taken from the garbage pails in a single day in the most intelligent part of New York city. The wasters should have been made to eat it before being allowed to even hear the word bread. History repeats itself. Notice the inevitable way in which the administration orators out of Washington always manage to work in that nice little boost for Secretary McAdoo. And then—draw your own conclusions. Why is the price which the Northern farmer is to get for his wheat fixed by law while there is no limit of any kind placed on the cotton of the Southern planter? Why is the South generally favored and the North generally discriminated against? Congress should enact a law that all job holders of military age who have managed to get civic places with military titles, should be allowed to wear all of the army uniforms except that bloomers should be substituted for trousers. To judge by the way young men of draft age are being put in "safety first" jobs in Washington, it would seem that a good many American families knew what they were about a few years ago when they were singing "I Did Not Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier." Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, of Nebraska, bewails that the executive departments are discourteous to the Senate. Can anyone he discourteous to a Rubber Stamp? And has a Rubber Stamp any rights that anyone is bound to respect? Let Senator Hitchcock take a long walk and commune with himself as to why anybody or anything becomes subject to discourte We must confess that the logic of certain policies toward the soldiers do not seem logical to us. Parcels, unless specifically requested by them, are banned from the mails. Soldiers are not expected to vote. The addresses of those killed and wounded are not to be made public. We are not Spartans. We are not living in a Spartan age. The disadvantages of these regulations will outweigh any advantages that may be claimed for them. Let the people keep as close to their soldiers as possible. Let the soldiers keep as close to their people as they can. OFFICERS WILL BE NEEDED It must be apparent now to even reluctant pacifists that we are in for a long and difficult war. Enormous armies must be prepared, not one on two millions, but five or six millions, at least. The longer we string out our preparing on the needful scale, the longer the war will last, the more men we will lose, the more money it will cost. And armies of millions mean tens of thousands of officers. Officers are not being provided for on a sufficient scale. General Leonard Wood, a man who really knows something about war, says we must have 40,000 more officers. "I am in favor," he says, "of opening new officers' training camps at once and making the course one of six months instead of three. Then, too, we must have older men, say from 35 to 40, for our officer material." Three things the people must fully grasp. This is a war which is to test our strength to the uttermost. It is to be a long and wasting war. There must be no more delay or lack of vision in anything. SPEED THE AIRPLANES A distinguished employee of the administration at Washington recently spoke in Columbus. After the usual extended and laudatory commendation of Mr. McAdoo, an integral part of all addresses of officeholders out of Washington, he spoke of the aircraft deficiency. He said while there might be a lack of combat planes, there was a superfluity of practice planes, and he argued, logically enough, that a man had to learn to fly in a practice plane before he could hope to carry on a combat in one. He overlooked stating, however, that there were eleven hundred American aviators idle in France, waiting, waiting, waiting for practice planes. He neglected to state that the sending back of seven hundred of them to America was contemplated. And now comes the word, according to the Chicago Tribune, that at one aviation camp there are a thousand apprentice aviators, graduated in the ground work, who have been waiting a month or more for practice planes. So may be the practice plane prophecies are about as reliable as the battle plane predictions. Over seven hundred millions of the money of the American people was voted last summer by a patriotic Congress for aircraft production. Mr. Creel's publicity thereupon informed us that twenty thousand American airplanes would darken the skies over the German trenches this year. It is now said that we will have thirty-seven by July 1st. But our beating put dread into the heart of the enemy and he worked feverishly all winter to equal what he feared would be the output of this country—the greatest industrial and manufacturing country in the world. The American troops have what aircraft protection they get only from the generosity and self-sacrifice of the British and French who give up what airplanes they can spare to their own detriment. Additional Locals --- Private Frank Morrison, who was transferred from the Cleveland to the Springfield company of the Ninth Ohio Battalion, now the 332nd regiment of the New National Army, at Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, Ala., last December, was buried in Woodland cemetery from his mother's residence in Broadway, last Friday afternoon. Frank was accidentally shot at Camp Stuart, Newport News, Va., in January while on guard duty, and died in the hospital there, week before last. The remains were escorted to the train by white comrades at Camp Stuart, the "Ninth" being "somewhere in France." Only three soldiers attended the funeral: Privates Bass, Branch and Sergt. R. Smith, all three contributing toward the poor mother's expenses incident to the funeral. Mrs. O. V. Hamilin, E. 43rd St, ala. assisted by Mrs. Carroll of Arthur in the hospital of the institutions, had charge of the program for the W. M. M. society reception for new members at St. James. A. M. E. church, last week Thursday evening. The event was one of several given during the week in celebration of the church's 25th anniversary and proved the equal of any social affair ever given by St. James. Among the program participants were: Mr. Geo. Fields, Mesdames Evans, Washington, Robinson, Grace Willis Thompson and Emma Robinson. The congregation and friends were delightfully entertained. Forty-five new members have been added to the church since Rev. O. W. Childers took charge, six months ago. Splendid progress! It speaks for itself and for others, too. The Misses L. Harris and Bessie Foster also assisted in the program. The selection of a Congressman from the twenty-second district already has attracted attention far outside its territorial limits. The Journal of Education, a magazine with a large circulation among educators in all sections of the United States, makes the positive statement that "former Superintendent of Schools J. M. H. Frederick will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for Congress in the twenty-second Ohio district." This paper is published in Boston and edited by Dr. A. E. Winship. It observes; "School people everywhere will wish Mr. Frederick success." Friends of Mr. Frederick assert that the thousands of members of the teaching profession in the district are interested in his probable candidacy and say that many already are actively urging his nomination. The twenty-second district comprises all of Cuyahoga county outside of Cleveland; all of Cleveland wards 19, 20, 22 and 26, practically all of ward 18, the majority of the precincts of ward 11 and one precinct of ward 15; and in addition Lake and Geauga counties. Something New in an Antiseptic Our attention was called to this discovery. The manufacturers of FORMOSOL desired to use advertising space in The Gazette to bring it to the attention of our readers. But in view of the policy of the publisher of The Gazette, we declined to accept the advertisement until we knew more about the merits of FORMOSOL. We are glad to state that after a thorough investigation we find FORMOSOL to be everything the manufacturers claim. We can heartily recommend its use as being beneficial to the health of the public.—Adv. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. OHIO APRIL 27. 1918 She Myst Remember Thousands of Names and Many Dialects. There is a telephone exchange in Chinatown, San Francisco, that is unlike any other in the world. In the first place, it is housed in a bit of richly carved and highly colored architecture that "looks like a picture press far," or like a bit of old Pekin set down in a modern city. When the visitor enters he is received by a a man in rich Chinese garb, but an up to date business man, and quite American in everything but his race and costume. He is an expert electrician a.d. he has charge of the exchange which serves all the Chinese customers in the city and its slurbs. There are about a thousand telephones in the Chinese quarter, and calls up to 8,000 in number are handled every day by the dainty little oriental girls who sit at their work clad in the costumes of their own people. These girls have, in addition to a perfect knowledge of English, a command of the different Chinese dialects that are spoken in the quarter. More wonderful than that, however, is the fact that these "centrals" must remember the name and number of all subscribers, since the Oriental does not call by number. MAN'S "SAFETY" DEVICE Lets Auto Hit Him, but Fender Fails to "Make Good." Just to prove to an interested public that he had a new automobile fender which would eliminate all accidents, James Locorriero of Hoboken, N. J., gave a partial demonstration in a public street of that city. He had assembled a party of guests, photographers and moving picture men, and uninvited persons lined the sidewalks. Locorriero stood in the middle of the street. At a signal an automobile, going at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour, bore down on him. The next moment he was under the car, and the crowd, thinking he had been killed, became panic .tricken. Patrolman Marni lifted Locorriero into an automobile and took him to Roosevelt Hospital. There Dr. Sanford dressed his wounds and permitted him to go home. He said the accident was caused because the fender did not hit him squarely and that he will give another demonstration next week. PULL UP FENCES TO MAKE DYES Kansas Farmers Sell Roots of Osage Orange Hedge Trees. With the discovery that osage orange hedge tree roots can be utilized in the manufacture of a substitute for dyes of German make, farmers near Hutchison, Kan., are grubbing out their hedge fences and disposing of the roots to buyers of Eastern manufacturing concerns. Many Kinds of Wrens. The wren is a tiny little bird and a brisk one too. There are many kinds of wrens found in North America. The common house wren is the best known, but they all look a good deal alike, with the perky tail that stands up nearly straight. They may be called the creeping wrens, the rock wrens, the house wrens, and the marsh wrens. The brown-headed wren, or the creeper, is found in the border states next to Mexico. It lives in barren places where there is little vegetation but the cactus plants. It has a clear ringing song, however, and runs about the grass and among dry leaves and builds the largest nest known among birds in proportion to its size. The nest is composed of a large mass of grass interwoven on a branch of the cactus. Sometimes it is a foot one way and two feet the other. The nest itself is 10 or 12 inches from the opening of the mass and has a long covered passageway leading to it. The wren lines it with soft feathers. The white threatened wren is a rock wren rnd is found in the Southwest. It lives among the piles of boulders and cliffs in the canyons of the Colorado river, for example, and has a beautiful song. The tones can be heard echoing among the rocks. Another rock wren is found all over the mountains of the West. It lives in the high places of the earth having little song but only a low cry. It is very wild. The great Carolina wren is a house wren, and the wood wren and the winter wren... are called house wrens by some naturalists. The house wren is found all over the United States. It is a wide awake, saucy chap and takes lordly possession of bird houses or other snug spots. The marsh wren is found most often on the scaucoast or in marshes by river banks that are reached by the sea tides. It builds a nest of grass about the size of a coconut with a side opening. It is placed in a low bush just above reach of the tide water. This bird has no song but a cry that sounds like an insect. Its eggs are a mahogany brown color. The short billed wren is found in fresh water and inland meadows. It is very shy and has a quaint and lively song, sung with great earnestness and as if in haste. If it observes you the song becomes a harsh cry. It lives in tall rank mendow grass, where it weaves long growing stalks into a round mass. Its eggs are pure white. It's awfully hard for the average man to look in a mirror and believe that he was once a cute baby. "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it"—Abraham Lincoln. COUPLE TRY MARRIAGE ON FIETTY-FIETY PLAN New York, N. Y.,—Pretty 21-year-old Eleanor Taylor, as attractive a girl as ever helped carry the daisy chain at Vassar College, has given Greenwich village a great shock. And that is going some, for Greenwich village is a district populated chiefly by persons connected with the arts who live the so-called Bohemian life. From the quiet of the halls of the ancient seat of learning pretty Eleanor has walked with bold and undaunted step into the very center of the "village" Bohemians. What has she done? She has entered into the queerest of marital contracts with Benjamin Marsh, war correspondent, radical and seventeen years her senior, in what now becomes famous as the "individual marriage." The "individual" clause of the contract was added when Miss Taylor and Mr. Marsh—not Mr. and Mrs. Marsh—found themselves sipping tea in the cheerful home they had previously fixed up in the environs of Washington Square. In a word, the clause that makes a marriage an "individual" one is nothing to be scoffed at by the struggling artist who finds both ends hard to meet. True, it robs him of what many men glory in—dominion over his spouse—but it makes life less worrisome. It seems that the wife is to retain her individual rights, including everything. She does not even have to give up her name, her position, her thought, her work; nor does such a marriage permit a husband to support his wife. She supports herself, and Miss Eleanor Taylor and Benjamin C. Marsh are carrying their contract out to the letter. Each contributes, an equal amount toward the morning meal. Each has a job in New York. At night they wend their respective ways home to 11 Vandam street. After comparing expenses for the day they go over to the Greenwich Settlement House, where they dine sumptuously for 35 cents each. As they stop at their desk on the way out, Miss Taylor pays her own check, Mr. Marsh his. To the movies, a lecture or the theater, Miss Taylor pays for her ticket, Mr. Marsh pays for his. "I met Mr. Marsh a year ago at the Greenwich Settlement House," she said. "Neither of us wanted to impose his belief on the other. We agreed in purpose, tho. We decided on our mode of living, because we knew it would make us happier; all the more because each has his own work. We decided that each contribute to the support of the household. We figure out the cost of breakfast—just now it is 15 cents—and we divide the amount. We pay our laundry and other bills separately. "No man, husband nor anybody else, could make me change my individual thinking, and why my name? On our doorbell we have Mr. Marsh and Miss Taylor." JACOB SCHNEIDER Fresh Rolls, Pies, Cakes Daily 3121 Café Infantil To The Loyal! Five of our soldier boys are at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, awaiting death as a result of the recent Court Martial proceedings growing out of the Houston riot. Though these men have been sentenced to die, their cases will be reviewed by President Wilson, and he has the power to commute their sentences to life imprisonment, if he will. He can even pardon them, if he desires so to do. These men were victims of rank prejudice. They were forced to take the law into their own hands by reason of the oppression and insults offered them by southern whites. Their cases are not ordinary ones, and they deserve extraordinary consideration. Their comrades who died a few weeks ago were hanged without executive intervention. These five boys have a chance to live, if the President says so. "The Gazette" urges our people to fill out the appeal to the President, to be found on this page and also to write a letter to his or her U. S. Senator and Congressman asking that the President be urged to save these boys. They are victims of peculiar circumstances and conditions born of prejudice and hatred. Write today; help to save them. FILL THIS OUT AND SEND IT White House, Washington, D.C.

THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Sumner. PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against (injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —Ella Wheeler Wilcox. $106 000 000 Saved By Dec. 31 W.S.S.

Kansas City, Mo.—What are your requirements of the person whom you would marry? That question was ask- ed of the students in connection with a discussion on "convention" by Prof. L. L. Bernard in his sociology class of the University of Missouri the other day. Sixty-eight students—forty-one women and twenty-seven men—placed on the professor's desk anonymous statements in reply. The tabulated opinions show the women consider moral habits as the prime requisite. Nineteen women make it the first requirement, six the second requirement, eight the third requirement, sixth the fourth requirement, one the fifth requirement and one does not mention it. Good social position is considered most important by seven women while the average place this requirement in fourth place. Good income is held to be of prime importance by five women, while seventeen hold it to be of secondary and ten of tertiary importance. Congeniality and good treatment is placed among the first four requisites by thirty-one women, three of whom make it the first requirement. One signifies her willingness to abide with a middle-aged man, while thirteen place youth as fifth in importance. One insists that good looks is the first essential in a husband, while the majority seem willing to waive this quality after putting in requests for a good income, congeniality and a good social position. Just as the women require good moral habits as the prime essential, so the men insist on good character, and twenty demand it as the first requirement. While the women are more insistent for intellectual ability, the men base their faith on physical beauty. Five men make it a first requirement, while no one places it below the fourth place. "All except five of the men express an opinion on congeniality, but they do not hold it as a high requirement, and indicate their trust in character, youth and beauty to include that quality. The men are generally interested in the training for home making, making this requirement average fourth in importance. The men are decidedly interested in good heredity, while the women make no mention of it. Two women and two men desire their mates to be religious. One man years for mutual infatuation, and places it as a third requirement in his scheme of things for martial bliss. One woman longs for sympathy and assigns it in fifth place. One man in sists on sincerity and common sense while another requires musical talent in his wife-to-be and a third demands his wife must be economical. Negro Baby Embalmed Long Ago It Preserved by a Chester, Pa., Undertaker. Chester, Pa.—A real mummy, a little colored baby, born some twenty years ago, who died after living several weeks, was viewed with interest the other day at an undertaking establishment here. There is no record of the parentage of the infant, and, in brief, its history is that it was found dead twenty years ago, and the body was turned over to the late Thomas Minshall, then an undertaker and deputy coroner. As the body was never claimed, he decided to use it for experimental purposes in embalming, and prepared a special mixture of embalming fluid, a portion of which he injected into the little body. The result proved successful, and in a short time there were evidences of mummification, and after being an object of curiosity and a "ten days wonder," the mummy, characterized "lizie," was taken to an unused room in the building and tucked away on the top shelf of a closet. During all these years the infant body has lain there undisturbed, except when some curious person has called at the establishment and requested permission to see it. The mummy is twenty inches long, weighs two pounds, and resembles in every way a real colored baby. TRAMP DOG ATTENDS FUNERALS Nesquehoning, Pa.— This community has a dog which manifests a fondness for attending funeals. Since attention was drawn to his habit he has never been known to miss one. He usually walks beside the hearse and will go into the church if permitted. He has frequently been driven out, but when this happens he will loiter outside until services are over and then accompany the cortege to the grave. He is only a common tramp dog, but since he has shown humane instinct people are taking more kindly to him, and instead of being kicked about he is now being treated with the utmost consideration. Master From Whom Animal Recently Was Stolen Tells of "Timber Devil's" Savage Nature Seattle, Wash.—"Wolf" is Alaska's savage outlaw dog. The blood of many creatures is on his hardened conscience, and the brand of his fang on man and beast. Son of the wild, he is, by virtue of what he has learned from his human associates, a super-brute. Many call him the "Timber Devil." The story of his battle to the death with a she bear near here probably is unmatched for dog courage and loyalty to master. It was fold by Paul Buckley, widely known Alaskan, from whom this remarkable dog recently was stolen. Wolf's mother was a husky, his father a timber wolf. From puppyhood he has been a killer. Battle scars cover him. One ear is gone. A tuff under his jaw, like a beard, gives the broad, wolfish head a particularly sinister look. And he hates a bear with all the inherited venom of his breed. When Buckley, his master, hunting up Valdez creek, jumped a large she bear and two cubs in the blueberry bushes, Wolf leaped to the attack to protect the man. Circling for advantage, slashing and snapping warily, the two arch enemies bore off up a slope. Buckley, fearing for his dog, tried to whistle him back. Once or twice Wolf attempted to return, but the bear outflanked him. Then Wolf, with all his cunning, began a deadly maneuver that ended only when the two had gone deep into the solitudes. Just as the she bear had forgotten her cubs, so the wolf dog had now forgotten his master until this wilderness feud had been settled. Running with tireless ease, Wolf drew the black bear on until fatigue had sapped her terrible energy, until her slashing charges had begun to abate. She was fat, and he was lean—the resilient leanness of fighting fitness. And they closed, in a whirl of fury. It must have been magnificent, that finish of cardinal hate, but no man saw it. Buckley, who had watched the beginning from a tree top, and who waited many hours for his dog's return, had finally made temporary camp and had shot the two whining, deserted cubs. Hours later Wolf dragged himself into Buckley's permanent camp six miles distant where his master's partner was getting dinner. His tongue was out. He was badly mangled. With supreme effort he got upon Buckley's bunk, calling weakly for his master. But there was bear's blood on his muzzle, and a gleam of victory in the baleful eyes. Next day, too, prospectors told of having found a dead she bear not far away in the timber—with her throat ripped open. MESCAL-EATING HABIT GROWS AMONG INDIANS Becoming a Menace, Says Secret Service Agent Fighting Evil. Winnebago, Neb.—The mescal evil among the Indians is becoming a menace, according to F. T. Thunder, an Indian employed in the Government secret service. In addition to his regular work Mr. Thunder is fighting the mescal traffic. Indians of the Winnebago reservation are especially given to the use of the drug, Thunder declares. The mescal plant bears small brown pellets about the size of the average overcoat button. These when eaten in quantities of a dozen or more leave the user in a temporary state of mental derangement, during which, the Indians believe, they are communicating with the holy spirit. "While you are under the influence of this drug you do not see things as they really are," said Thunder. "I used the drug for a long time, and I thought as some of them do now. I could hear bells ringing and could see visions of heaven. I had a hard time quitting, but I did so. I am trying to persuade others to quit. "But we are powerless to stop the evil except thru gentle means. When I come upon a number of men using mescal, each has a Bible, and they say they are holding a religious meeting, if I try to interfere they can have me arrested for disturbing the peace. "There is no law I know of against the use of the mescal plant, but we hope the Legislature will take it up soon. It is killing many red men. Some of them feed it to their babies to quiet them." FIND WOOD IN HORSE'S HEAD Animal Is Relieved of Oak Splinters After Ten Years. Covington, Ind.,—Two pieces of oak wood, one two and three quarter inches long, and the other slightly shorter, were removed by a veterinarian from the head of a horse belonging to Julius Loeb. The wood had been in the animal's head for more than ten years. John Bowers, who used the horse while on Loeb's farm, says the accident took place about eleven years ago. In striking its head against a projecting piece of oak, the left eye had been destroyed. The two pieces of wood which were removed from a place a little below the other eye, were well preserved. The horse had worked until a year or so ago when Charles Howard, its present caretaker, turned it out to pasture. It is hoped soon to make all of Yosemite National Park accessible throughout the year. HOTEL BELLBOY INVENTS THREE-IN-ONE FLYER Gets Patent on Machine That Is Airship, Hydroplane and Land Traveller Billie McKenzie, a bell-boy at the Waldorf Hotel in Seattle, Wash., has invented an airship, not an ordinary airship but a submarine out, designed to run on land, water or in the air. Floyd Bates, elevator boy, at the Waldorf has a third interest in the venture. Final patent papers have been received, and the two young men are contemplating leaving the hotel business for a higher profession. The machine has nine box planes, like apple boxes with ends knocked out. These are set above the body. Then the machine is ascending a forward elevating plane directs it upward, and the box planes all present a sharp edge towards the front. When the aviator is high enough, he turns down the elevating plane and all the box planes turn square with the body. "And then," explains Billie, "you just float." The aeroplane has runners for snow, rubber tired wheels for ordinary land travel, and a pontoon body for water navigation. A motor is attached to the wheel and the propeller is at the stern. If the plane happens to land on the ground with too rude a bump, a patent shock absorber takes up the jar. DIGGERS FIND OLD BEAVER DAM Embedded in It Are Bones of Human Arm While digging a ditch from a well at the city pumping station in Roundup, Mont. workmen discovered an old beaver dam 17 feet below the present bed of the Musselshell River and in the dam found embedded the bones of a human arm. It is believed the dam was built hundreds of years ago. The tusk of the mastodon was found recently by employees of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Pau Railway 25 feet below the surface of the earth at Forsyth, Mont. It was 18 inches long and 16 inches thru its thickest part. When brought to light, the tooth was soft, but after being exposed to air hardened and shone like ivory. ALLIGATOR CLEANS A SEWER Saurian Drags Rope Thru the Clogged Sections. A six hundred foot twelve-inch sewer in Florida recently became clogged with sand and dirt. Several sewer-cleaning contrivances were used and about $1,500 was spent, but to no avail. The pipe remained in its unsatisfactory condition. Just when every one had given up in despair a small alligator was secured, to which was fastened a rope. The animal, when lowered into the pipe, proceeded toward the next manhole, dragging the rope after him. When the alligator, had traversed one section of the sewer, the rope, in the middle of which knotted chains were attached, was pulled back and forth and the obstructions removed. Stage and Their Horns. A stag and his antlers are almost as inseparable in the mind of the sportsman as in the mind of one to whom deer stalking is nothing but a name. Yet there are not only hornless varieties of the family cervidae, but not a few members of the great red deer group are found to have been denuded by Nature as well as by accident of the crowning glories of their race and sex. Stags without horns are called Hummie stags, and they are far from being the helpless creatures one might reasonably have imagined them. They have been known to fight and to conquer heavily-antlered stags of their own weight. The appendages known as antlers are so far from being universal among the cervine tribes that naturalists prefer to rely upon other characteristics in their definitions of the several families and groups. But a hornless stag is so far an exception that the system of judging the merit of the stalkers' spoil by the character of the head and the number of tines or points is certainly the best that could be devised. Many years ago an antler with 15 points was dug up from an Irish bogg. Assuming an equal number on the antler that was missing, the mighty hart to which the horns belonged would have been a stag not of 12 or 13 but of 30 points. Such prizes are not however, nowadays likely to fall into the lap of the Scottish deer stalkers, still less will they be able to send to the stuffers such magnificent examples as those which may be found in many an old German schloss. The continental deer have always been more heavily antlered than the British, a fact which may partly be accounted for by their having access to much better feeding than they are able to procure in Scotland. But, remembering that heads of 18 and 20 points have been killed in this country, it seems quite reasonable that any head with tines in excess of the "royal" should be distinguished by a special designation. There is some difference of opinion as to what constitutes a royal hart. Strictly speaking the head should not only possess "brow," "bay" and "tay," and three on the top, but these last three—the "sur royals," as they are called—should form cups in order to qualify the head as "royal." The more generally accepted proposition that a royal head is a head of 12 tines, is, however, also the most convenient in the awarding of honors where honors are due. It's sometimes easier to step into another's man's shoes than it is to walk in them.
