LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY COMPOSITION Written for her Graduation by Miss Bertha Pitts of Montrose, Colo. Makes Eloquent Plea for Fair Treatment of the Race. VOL. XIV. COMPO Written for her Graduation by rose, Colo. Makes Eutreatment of How many people ever think as much about the injustice done to the black man as about the crimes and outrages committed by him? Some do 'tis true but the general mass see in him a low wretch suitable only for a submissive slave or Judge Lynch. A Negro? What is a negro? is asked by many people in this country whose motto is: "A government of the people, by the people, for the people." He seems to be a species of monkey, a degeneration beside the white man. True, the Negro has faults and traits that are to be condemned, but how could he have risen, in forty years, from the demoralizing effects of almost two hundred and fifty years of slavery. You will doubtless say slavery nevertheless gave him arts of civilized life. Well if it did it also denied him the greatest blessing he might have had, the product of his labor; therefore he had no incentive to labor at these arts and make the most of them. Now, my reader, looking at the depths from which the Negro has risen to such present positions as he now holds, let me show you that according to his advancement in every line of art, he is treated unjustly by the white man. How does the Negro fare in the field of labor? Because of the labor unions a skilled laborer can not get employment often. This is especially true in the north where Negro population is not dense enough to support their own people. If the same chance to earn a living as his white neighbor he would be a far more desirable citizen and wealth producer. Surely the black man has the same capacity for work, the same spirit purpose and desire to rise as the white man and he is as much entitled to share the blessings of life, its honors and rewards. Many a white laborer refuses to work beside a Negro. And why? Because the color of the skin and the texture of the hair is different. Now the Negro must have a living and he will get it by foul means or in an honorable way; the white man can determine the way. In this "Land of the free and home of the brave" every good citizen should be provided with opportunity and stimulus to make the most of himself be he black or white. Suppose a Negro goes hunting for work in some part of this country. Barred on every hand; plenty of sentiment ```markdown ``` but no work; he is told to move on. "He is a bad white man who will not help his black neighbor when that black man shows the spirit to help himself. No person can hold another in a ditch without remaining there with him." So it is as advantageous for the white man to help elevate the Negro as it is his duty to a fellow-citizen. When the white man helps the negro it is not a case of "all going out and nothing coming in." Surely this country, for which he has toiled, fought and died owes him a living if he desires to make one. All citizens, if orderly and respectable have a right to be served in all public places and in a courteous manner, and yet there exists in most all places discrimination in hotels, soda fountains, restaurants and such places, on account of race and color. What reason does the white man give for such treatment? He will say they are disorderly. Are there no respectable, law-abiding people of the colored race? Are there no low disorderly white people. Alas! the entire Negro race must suffer for a crime or wrong of one of its members. All colored people are held as belonging to the same class; a crime one would commit so would all the rest. Now the whites should show the Negro that if he respects himself he will be respected. By this discrimination the white man should not make him feel that he is a subject of hatred and strife and that he is handicapped at every effort to rise from the low depths in which he is plunged. Respect the right, white citizen, that the black man has as a citizen. The constitution that gave the white man his rights granted the same ones to the Negro. The whites demand that their rights must be respected and they in return should respect the same of other people. Everyone knows the important part the women of a race play. Injure them and the race to which they belong is injured. Senator Tillman has said in his various lectures that NO negro woman is virtuous. Such a hatred breeding speech is a kick to the Negro womanhood of America. People gather to hear this degrading thing spoken, some believing, others not; but race feeling becomes more bitter on account of it. Think of having this disgraceful thing preached from town to town? Can't the white man imagine the feelings of DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1908. DENVER'S NEW AUDITORIUM WHERE THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION WILL BE HELD. the poor black who has tried so hard to rise under all kinls of kicks and blows. Does Tillman better anybody by such speeches? Of course not. He heaps more live coals on the unfortunate black. All Negroes are immoral! If this were applied to the white race it would astonish the entire work. Why not judge the Negro with the same logic that the white man is judged with. Some negroes are now immoral, many, almost all, were for some time after they were freed. But where did it originate? Again the blame is on the whites. During slavery the temptation of the white masters to abuse the power they held over those who could not and dared not resent any crime against them and the gratifying of baser appetite brought on this terrible immorality among the blacks. Let the whites allow the negro two hundred and fifty years to wear off the marks of slavery endured for the same length of time, and at the same time be as ardent in elevating him as they were in degrading him—then judge him as to moral goodness. * * * * * * * * * The success of a race is meas- DENVER'S NEW AUDITORIUM NATIONAL CONVEN ured by the depths from which it has come and under what conditions it has developed. If a race is successful it should have the credit and be treated as such. Is a race who can produce a B. T. Washington, P. L. Dunbar, Henry Tanner and many others as great, successful? Can one say that a race who only forty years out of slavery is a failure when it has produced skilled workmen in every line of work carried on by the white man? The Negro is not merely an imitator, but he has shown that he possesses inventive genius. There have been hundreds of things invented by him not mere changes in somebody else's work but his original work. He has shown his ability to give as well as receive knowledge; he has displayed his ability in the field of authorship and he has in every way proved a capacity for entering every occupation, equal to that of the white man. Therefore the Negro is not a failure. But if the white man thinks the Negro race is indolent and void of ambition, let him open to it the door of hope that the black boys and girls may be inspired with the same ambition to occupy positions of honor and dignity as the whites. Do not close the doors of every avenue of usefulness in the negro's face and then curse him for being indolent. And so I think that a little equal chance and a little fair play will do more for the colored race than millions of charity money. This paper has not been written by one who holds a bitter attitude toward these things but the writer merely wants to bring before you things as they exist which you, my reader, have not noticed or have not thought seriously upon. Won't you, reader, do your part to better these conditions should you ever have the opportunity? NEGRO DEATH RATE The health and mortality report for the week ending March 14 for Washington, D. C., places the number of deaths there for that period at 151 of which 90 were white and 61, or 10 more than one- M WHERE THE DEMOCRATIC TION WILL BE HELD. third were Negroes Compared with the total number of Negro inhabitants in Washington, thus shows a continued increase in the death rate in the colored race, and is very much greater than that of the white race Now what occasions this large death rate among Negroes of Washington? Why, because thousands of them are poorly housed, poorly fed and poorly clothed. Thousands of the race there barely eke out an existence, and yet they prefer to remain in Washington, only to meet death by consumption and other diseases that result from improper living than to leave that city and go out into the states, out into the country, and live a simple healthful life surrounded by those comforts and fed on wholesome food which their own hands can make and produce. At the rapid rate Negroes are dying off in Washington because of unwholsome living, a serious problem confronts the race in that city. The Negro death rate in Washington, comparing the white and black population, is rapidily reaching that point where it will be 50 per cent greater than the white death rate.

The address to the graduates was delivered by Professor C. W. Todell, of the Woman's College. There were 49 graduates. A number of whom will pursue collegiate courses. For the past six years the school has been under the principalship of Dr. J. H. N. Waring, and the academic work is of such a character that colleges like Amherst, Brown, Oberlin, University of Pennsylvania and Howard University admit its graduates without examination. Larchmont, N. J., June 14. Tom Harris, known throughout Westchester county as the millionaire Negro, and who counts President Roosevelt among his personal friends, celebrated his forty-fifth birthday last night by giving a dinner party to a dozen white friends at the Plymouth Inn. Those who attended are well pleased socially. The dinner cost $10 a cover. Harris launched into politics two years ago and attempted to capture the Republican nomination for receiver of taxes, but the cottagers turned out at the primaries and defeated him. At that time it is said that Harris received a letter of sympathy from President Roosevelt. Wilmington, Del., June 19th—The color line has had its oddest application as a result of the finding of the several skeletons in the sand pits at Newport. Many of the bones are considered to be those of slaves who died a century ago, while others contend that they are probably the remains of white people, Coroner Calloway, who has to bury the skeletons anew, is in a dilemma as to where he should inter them. The portion of the community that clings to the slave theory objects to the bones going into the whites' cemetary because of their Negro character. The other side objects to their desecration, as those of whites, by being consigned to the colored cemetery. The Coroner does not know what to do. Baltimore, June 19.—The legality of marriages between blacks and whites in Maryland is one of the questions raised in a bill filed in Court today in an effort to have Mary E. Hamilton Fisher, a white woman, removed from the trusteeship of an estate left to her three stepchildren, who are colored. The proceedings were instituted by Louisa Fisher (colored), moth- NO. 41. er of the children of William L. Fisher (colored), deceased. The complainant recites that Fisher was divorced from his first wife, Louisa, and married Mary E. Hamilton. He left the bulk of his estate to his three children by the first wife, naming his second wife as trustee. The complainant asked that the trustee be removed on the ground that she never was legally married to Fisher. Pueblo, June 30th.—Jim Lynn, the Negro who murdered Sarah James, a white girl, May 13, was sentenced to be hanged during the week ending October 10th by Judge Essex in the district court today. Lynn did not show any emotion, but pretended not to know what it was all about. His attorneys made a motion for a new trial, but it was overruled. Lynn broke into the house of Mrs. Julia James and, after an altercation with a white man who was there, drove Mrs James and her daughter into the street. He then shot both, killing the girl and badly injuring the mother. Lynn escaped, but was captured later in Limon. While he was in jail at Colorado Springs, where he was held for safekeeping, a mob broke into the Pueblo jail, bent upon lynching him. Mrs. James is now in Seattle. The first colored girl to be employed in the government bureau of engraving and printing was appointed under President Harrison about seventeen years ago. Today more than 200 colored girls are employed in that bureau. The number of Negroes holding government jobs in Washington in 1892 was 2,397. In 1907 there were 2,785 of them. That is an increase of just about $16\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. In the same period the increase in the number of white employees in Washington was only about 9 per cent. The number of Negroes taking the civil service examinations is constantly increasing. Comparatively well educated Negroes are perfectly willing, indeed glad, to take minor clerkships under the government, places which do not appeal to white men of ability for the simple reason that the white man can do better. The consequence is that the most capable of the Negroes compete with whites of at best only mediocre ability. Naturally the colored man often comes out ahead in the examination, and when that happens there is nothing to prevent his getting the appointment. In Washington one government employee in every nine is colored, and the proportion is constantly growing larger. Where Ivy is Beneficial.

FORMAL EXERCISES AT NATURAL HISTORY BUILDING IN DENVER, NOW OPEN TO PUBLIC STRUCTURE WHEN COMPLETED WILL BE THREE TIMES PRESENT SIZE. Denver.—Wednesday afternoon the Colorado Museum of Natural History, standing alone on the highest point of City Park, was formally dedicated to the public. A representative audience listened to the remarks of prominent public men who haye been closely as- sociated with the movement to give Denver the most complete museum in America, ‘The services were opened by Dr. Da- vid Utter, who offered prayer. John F, Campion, chairman of the museum board of directors, dwelt upon the spirit that caused some thirty of Den- ver's prominent citizens to foster the plan which is now to give the city a great educational institution, Jacob Filius, chairman of the park board, told of the plans of the park board to create a setting in keeping with the beauty of the building. ‘The subject announced for ex-Gover- nor C. S. Thomas to deal with was “The Laws of Irrigation as Applicable to the Producing of Green Lawns About the Museum.” Mr, Thomas said that he would much prefer to deliver his speech intended for the Democratic national convention than to discuss law, of which he has had his fill.

CRATIC PARTY, Denver. — The Associated Press ‘Thursday night sent out the following report from this city: Charging that Alton B. Parker's res- olution of tribute to the memory of the late ex-President Grover Cleveland is a clever move on the part of enemies of William Jennings Bryan to infuse factional feeling into the Democratic National convention, friends of the Ne- braskan today determined to offer a resolution of a character designed not to raise controverted political issues. Through control of the temporary or- ganization of the convention, the Bry- an following expects to have its resolu- tion brought to the attention of the delegates immediately after the speech of the temporary chairman has been delivered. In that event the Parker resolution would have to be offered as. a substitute, if submitted at all, and the Bryah men declare that the New ‘York delegation would thereby be placed in the attitude of attempting, junder the guise of eulogizing a great party leader, to create strife and dis: sension and to make harmony impossi- ble. All Democrats, without regard to factional affiliations, applaud the sug- gestion coming from New York that the National convention should em- brace the first opportunity of honoring the memory of Mr. Cleveland, but most of those who have expressed them: selves on the subject are of the opin- jon that the resolutions adopted should not contain anything over which there could be the slightest difference of opinion. The New York resolution, which was made public last night, is denounced by such Bryan leaders as Mayor James C. Dahimann of Omaha and Judge M. E. Wade of Iowa, the lowa member of the national committee from that state. They declare that its adoption would be a direct slap at Bryan and insist that in giving it out for publication the New York delegation intended to disparage the Nebraska candidate. The portions of the resolution which par- ticularly aroused the ire of the friends of Mr. Bryan relate to Mr. Cleveland's record on the question of maintaining the integrity of the courts and finance, the paragraphs being as follows: “He respected the integrity of our courts and so’ insisted upon strict en- forcement of the law that every hon- est man or interest might be protected and all offenders punished without fear or favor. “He maintained the public credit and honor, stood firm as a rock in de- fense of sound principles of finance, and resisted dangerous economic doc. trines and practices left by the Repub- lean party as a heritage of our peo- ple.” It was said today by Mayor Dahl- man that these expressions are but thinly veiled attacks upor Mr. Bryan and his well known attitude on the question of adopting an anti-injune- tion plank, and his position in 1896 and 1900 on the money question. The publication of the Parker reso- lution was a bombshell exploding in the midst of the Bryan followers and steps were at once taken by members of the committee on convention ar- rangements to head off its introduc: tion in the convention. Educators Coming to olorado. Cleveland, O.—Denver is the choice of the National Educational Associa- tion for its next annual conyention. ‘The strong fight made by the Colorado delegates, combined with Denver's prestige as the meeting place of the Democratic National convention, and the fame of Colorado's scenery and climate, aroused the enthusiasm of the teachers, and the formal ection of the board of directors ‘Thursday, in com- mending the Colorado city, was merely an official ratification of the unani- mous preference expressed by the dele- gates and was received with enthus- jasm. Final action will not be taken until the next session of the board in December, but the selection of Denver is assured by Thursday's report. Among the “also rans” were Atlantic City, Chicago and Seattle. Moyer Predicts Trouble. Denver.—A Republican special from Grand Junction Thursday night says: A sensation was created here today by the publication of a letter from Pres- ident Mover of the Western Federation of Miners, addressed to the members of the federation at Telluride, warn. ing them of a plot by the mine owners to anger them July 4th, force them into a fight and then deport them. Gen- eral Bulkeley Wells promptly denied the charges, asserting that there was no organization of mine owners and no Citizens’ alliance at Telluride. Gen. eral Wells announced farther that he would be in Telluride July 4th and would see that peace prevailed there. Grover Cleveland's Will, New York.—That the late Grover Cleveland wrote his own will and that in it he gave the bulk of his estate to his wife, became known ‘Thursday, when jt was also learned that Mrs, Cleveland will within the next ten days g0 from Tamworth, New Hampshire, to Princeton, New Jersey, to be pres: ent at the probating of the instrument. ‘The will shows that the summer place at Tamworth, New Hampshire, which has been supposed to be the property of Mrs, Cleveland’s mother, was in reality, owned by Mr. Cleveland. ‘This place is disposed of in the will. The General Demand of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its com- ponent parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet) prompt, in action. ; In supplying that demand with its ex- cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along cthical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remark- able success. That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine—manufactured by the Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.

BURIAL OF THE EX-PRESIDENT GROVER CLEVELAND'S FUNERAL MARKED BY SIMPLICITY AND ABSENCE OF POMP. NOTABLE GATHERING PRESIDENT, GOVERNORS, EX-CABINET OFFICERS AND DISSTINGUISHED GUESTS. Princeton, N. J.—Grover Cleveland's body lies buried in the Cleveland plot in Princeton cemetery. At 6 o'clock Friday, just as the sun was sinking in the west, a distinguished company silently watched as the body was lowered into the grave. Then the simple burial service of the Presbyterian church was read, and before the last carriages in the cortege had driven up to the path leading to the burial place, the benediction had been pronounced and the members of the family, President Roosevelt and others who had gathered about the grave, were leaving the cemetery. Many of the personal friends of the dead statesman lingered about the spot which was to mark his last resting place, and each in turn was permitted to cast a shovelful of earth into the grave. Agreeably to the wishes of Mrs. Cleveland, the services, both at the house and at the cemetery, were of the simplest character. Although the funeral was of a strictly private nature, those in attendance numbered many distinguished citizens, including President Roosevelt, Governors Fort of New Jersey, Hughes of New York and Hoke Smith of Georgia, former members of President Cleveland's Cabinet, officials of the Equitable Life and friends and neighbors. Upon arrival at the house the President went to Mrs. Cleveland, offering his sympathy and expressing keen regret at Mr. Cleveland's death. A few minutes later the four clergymen who officiated, came down stairs to the hall leading to the reception booth, followed by Mrs. Cleveland and the children, Esther and Richard. The services began with an invocation by Rev. Sylvester W. Beach of the First Presbyterian church of Princeton, which was followed by Scriptural reading by Rev. Maitland V. Bartlett of the West Farms Presbyterian church of New York, a former pastor of Mr. Cleveland, who read from the fourteenth chapter of the Book of John and a number of passages from the fourth and twenty-second chapter of the Thessalonians. In closing, Doctor Bartlett read from the Book of Revelations. Dr. Henry Van Dyke then said that "according to the request of one whose slightest wish at this moment we all respect, there will be no address or sermon, but there was a poem written more than a hundred years ago by William Wordsworth, which is expressive of his character." He then read the poem, "Character of the Happy Warrior." This was followed by readings from the Presbyterian book of common worship, the services at the house concluding with prayer. The services were concluded at 5:30 and five minutes later the casket had been tenderly carried to the hearse and the procession started on its way to the cemetery. Along the streets from the house to the cemetery national guardsmen, mounted and on foot, policed the way. As President Roosevelt passed through the gate leading from the Westland grounds the militiamen presented arms, and the President doffed his hat in recognition. The pall bearers, six on either side of the hearse, marched with the procession as it wended its way slowly down Bayard Lane to Nassau street and on along the main thoroughfare of the town. Business had been suspended during the afternoon and curtains were drawn in many of the houses. The silent crowds stood with bared heads as the procession passed along into Vandeventer avenue, and the bell in the tower of Old Nassau hall tolled mournfully. The route led over Wiggins street to the cemetery, which was reached a few minutes before 6 o'clock. The members of the family alighted from their carriages, and, with the four clergymen in the lead, walked slowly down the graveled path leading to the open grave and the rose-strewn grave of Ruth, both almost hidden in the profusion of green boughs and flowers. Mrs. Cleveland stood with Esther and Richard and Doctor Bryant as the coffin was slowly lowered into the grave. Dr. William M. Richards of the Brick Presbyterian church of New York had started to read the committal services even before President Roosevelt and others had reached the scene. The President stood just back of Mrs. Cleveland as the impressive final words were spoken. The services lasted less than five minutes. King Edward's Birthday Honors. London.—The list of honors accorded on the occasion of the official celebration of King Edward's birthday was issued Thursday, June 25th.

One of the greatest monuments to the memory of that benevolent despot, later the Great, is the imperial library of Russia, established by him in 714. Present ranking places it third among the world's great libraries. It preceded by the National Library of arts and that of the British museum London. It contains 1,500,000 volumes and 23,000 manuscripts. The most important accession it ever received was probably at the time of the suppression of the Society of Jesus in Russia, when most of the Jesuit collections were transferred to the imperial library. Among them was the famous collection of Count Zauskli consisting of 260,000 volumes and 10,050 manuscripts. The most important manuscript in the library is the "Coex Sinaticus" of the Greek Bible brought to Russia by Prof. Tischendorf in 1859 from the convent of St Catherine on Mount Sinai.

A com- manding ballot is the one that commands friend or foe and is never satisfied until the command is obeyed. THE HEDGING SEASON. ‘This is the season for hedging. A hedge is a variety of fence, but we are not considering the shrub fence when we speak of hedging in this connection. We have reference to that branch of horticulture or agri- culture which embraces political fences in their numerous forms. Now is the season for candidates and other interested persons to adjust those marginal lines enclosing their wide fields of political principles, aspira- tions, intentions and relations which possibly have been knocked away by the preliminary storms of an on-coming campaign. The man who has had his well-rounded stack battered or blown away is skirmishing about the country gathering up the fragments, or joining hands with some more or less fortunate individual in order to present a better front to the winds that will surely blow in the ides of November. ‘The successful convention candidate wants the aid of the fellow he has just defeated, and the defeated candidate wants the aid of his con- quorer for the sake of saving what is left of his scattered opportunities. It is a time of compromise upon the ground of political expediency, and the enforced love feast is one of the wonders of political science. Senator Foraker has sent his congratulations to Secretary Taft and Mr. Taft has expressed his ardent appreciation and gratitude to Sen- ator Foraker. Speaker Cannon and all the bitter opponents of the ad- ministration forces have declared their enthusiastic acceptance of the outconie of the Republican national convention, because one of their own household was given second place upon the ticket. Banquets are being gotten up to placate disgruntled Negroes, whose highest interests were unmercifully trampled upon in the stampede that destroyed the harvests of the many to save the crops of the favored one. And the Negro, with nothing to lose, and nothing to gain but the chance to form the advance guard to meet the next big storm, is eating his mince pie and thinking of the generosity and other hitherto unknown virtues of those who so lately walked all over him, Some people have much to gain by hedging, but the Negro has nothing to gain thereby, except campaign fodder. At San Juan Hill the Negro fought after his leaders were killed, and won a notable victory. What will he do now,—fight on or hedge? ELIMINATING THE NEGRO. foree which the Negro might exe een developed along the lines wh ood, beeause of reasons which the ; jot g:ven him ability to master. ' o-called race issue in the South ha it section in unrelenting political | The political foree which the Negro might exercise in the United States has never been developed along the lines which would tend to- ward his greatest good, because of reasons which the groping intelligence of the Negro has not ¢:ven him ability to master. The long continued dominance of the so-called race issue in the South has served to keep the white people of that section in unrelenting political enmity to him, and has deprived him almost entirely of participation in political affairs of every description. The unnecessarily bitter aspect of this proscription practiced in the South and kept at the point of highest tension by pol- iticians who have thus found a way to perpetuate their own personal rule, has created the feeling among the unrestricted Negro yoters of the North that the liberties of the race everywhere in the nation were in danger, and for this reason they have voted just as solidly and persist- ently for interests which seemed to be in opposition to the growth of national power among their Southern perseeuters. The white people of the South and the black people of the North have thus devoted themselves to single political ideas, with results dif- fering only in the superior relationships of one over the other. ‘The white South has sacrificed that higher political deyelopment whieh is common to other sections of the country, and has remained in the rear of other sections industrially and commercially. The Negroes of the North have deprived themselves of all wider political experience be- cause of the supposed necessity for clinging to one unchanging line of battle. Out of this long sustained condition is growing the belief that the Negro case is a useless and unnecessary souree of political eon- troversy between the white people of the nation. While politicians, both North and South, have been the chief beneficiaries inthe main- tenance of this unnatural condition of stress and passion, and the idea that the development and substitution of a new system, whereby the Negro or race question shall be ignored politically, is slowly taking root among the white people of both political parties, North and South. The outward forms of justice do not keep the white people from ruling, wherever they will, because of their superior intelligence and experience. Other than political interests will preserve in their hands complete control. This is the new idea. And it is shared by the lead- ing advocates of the on-coming regime in both of the great politicat parties. The necessity for the development of new and independent thought on the part of the Negro is becoming greater and greater, Upon his ability to grow and to adjust himself to changing conditions must rest his security from being shifted from one dependency to another. Universal Peace By FRANK D. La LANNE, President of Notional Board of Trade N our study of history we find that most of the records tell of the exploits of the warrior, the conquests of arms. ‘The conquests of peace are not as seriously written about, yet the thoughtful reader is wont to pick from his books their results and note how the greatest commercial nations planted colo- nies, carried civilization and peace wherever commerce went, and how great cities and countries were created, whose sta- bility stood for wealth, progress, and enlightenment and peace. The Phoenicians. those greatest of earlv traders. banded together in boards of trade the merchants of their great cities, who con- tended in friendly rivalry for the trade of the world. Later we find the greatest league of all times for peace dominating the commerce of north- ern Europe and the Baltie—the union of the Hansa cities. Not for war- like purposes did the Hansetic league maintain an army and a navy, but only as guardians of the peace of the world. This is a brief synopsis of the merchants? influence upon civilization, happiness and peace of the world; but let us not think that the business man desires peace at any cost, for the stability of commerce; he is no less ® patriot than any other citizen, and the records show that he willingly sacrifices his fortune and his life if need be in defense of his country. How best shall we continue at peace? We want an adequate annual increase in our navy to keep us abreast of other first-class powers, so that like the Hanseatic league whose armed ships were called “Peace Ships,” our flect may be called the “Squadron of Peace,” and when the Panama canal is finished, it will be strong enough to insure peace on the east and west coasts of North and South America. Stability resulting from universal peace is the hope of every mer- chant, and in the light of progress thus far made he sees not far off the realization of his hope. The agreement by all nations for the creation of an International court in prize cases, alone, is worth all the work done and time expended by the Hague Peace Conference. ‘The agreement that force of arms shall not be resorted to to collect contract debts till arbitration has been carried through and disobeyed, is of much value to the world. ‘To have two-thirds of the nations of the world agree to the old favorite American doctrine, that private property of enemies at war even if carried in ene- mies’ bottoms, shall be exempt from capture, is a victory but deferred. Is it not an important step taken by the second Hague conference towards the speedy accomplishaficnt of our most cherished hope, the per- manent establishment of an “International Court of Arbitration,” that all nations voted that such a court ought to be created, and that the confer- ance agreed to a scheme, functions, organization and procedure of such a court? A stumbling block as to the method of appointing the judges prevented for tho time the full accomplishment, but I am glad to say our able secretary of state, Mr. oot, is hopeful that objections may be smoothed out by diplomacy, and such a method for sclecting the judges be adopted, so that the court anay be established without awaiting for another Hague conference. ¥ use of our fuel supply, both in production and consumption, is equaled | only by our criminal disregard of the personal safety and the lives of the men who toil in the mines. For every 190,000 tons of coal produced a mine worker is killed and several are seriously injured. For each 1,000 men employed, 8.40 are killed annually. Last year nearly 2,500 men were killed and more than 6,000 were seriously injuxed in the mining industry of our country. No other country in the world shows so large a percent- age of fatalities, Indeed, in those foreign countries in which mining is most hazardous the proportion of men killed to the number of employed is from 50 to 75 per cent. less than in our country. It is a sad commentary upon our vaunted civilization that more men are killed or crippled in mining in the United States than in any other: nation on earth. In our mad rush for spoils and profits we do not only Waste and destroy those materia: resources with which God has so bountifully endowed us, but we press for- ward in the race sacrificing also unnecessarily the lives and the comfort of our fellow-beings. It seems to me that the time has come when we should stop a moment to think—not alone of these inanimate things that make for comfort and prosperity, but also of the men and women and the children whose toil and deprivation have made and will continue to make our country and our people the most progressive and the most intelligent of all the nations and all the peoples of the earth. verge of the valley of death.

Because of the leasing of the old Van Wyck homestead by Booker T. Washington, the colored educator and friend of President Roosevelt, an open rupture has almost resulted between the good citizens of quiet Long Island village, with the Bookerites on the one side and the anti-Bookerites on the other. A month or so ago it was announced that Booker T. Washington proposed making his summer home here if he could get the place he wanted. The citizens prepared to receive the visitor with open arms, the sentiment among this faction of the villagers being that nothing was too good for any man, regardless of race or color. if he was a friend of Neighbor Roosevelt. Not so, however, with some of Huntington's "400." The colored educator was pleased with the Van Wyck homestead, which he occupied last summer on the West Side, about two and a half miles from Huntington proper. But he insisted that there must be telephone connection in the homestead. The real estate men thought the matter could be arranged and went to see the telephone people. But here is where the social prestige lever began to exert pressure. When the telephone people came for permission to erect poles and string wires on the estates ad joining the Van Wyck homestead they were met with cold refusals. The villagers heard of the latest development in the case and were met with cold refusals. The villagers got busy and, as a result, the Van Wyck homestead had a telephone installed and connection was made with the exchange in a round about way It will give us pleasure to wait upon you Michaelson's 1508-1514 Larimer Street Ice Cream, Ices, Candies N.

Black lace should not be washed unless it is decidedly dirty, but should be well shaken to remove as much dust as is possible and then dipped in a solution of deep blue gum water. When the lace has become dirty and brownish in color, the best plan is to wash it in soap suds and then rinse and stiffen it in deep blue water, to which the gum water has been added. The deep blue water will help to restore the lace to its original black. The lace should be all rolled in an old cloth for a short time and then pinned out with the cloth between it and the sheet, as it imparts a blue stain, which it would be necessary to remove from the sheet. When the lace is quite dry remove the pins and place a piece of tissue paper over it. Iron it with the paper between it and the iron. If the iron is placed directly on the lace it will leave a gloss on it which is not pretty and which stamps it as "washed lace." A good method for washing lace is to dip it in a solution made of equal parts of milk and water. After squeezing out the lace should be rolled in a cloth for a few minutes and then straightened and placed between folds of tissue paper and ironed until dry. The above solution makes the lace stiff, therefore if it requires but a slight stiffening increase the amount of water and decrease the amount of milk. FOR BREAKFAST OR LUNCH. Poached Eggs with Mushroom Saucee Make a Good Dish. Poached eggs with mushroom sauce makes a delicious dish for breakfast or lunch. Chop finely a half pound of mushrooms. Add them with the juice of half a lemon, salt and cayenne pepper to an once of melted butter and stir over a slow fire for five minutes. Soak the crumb from a French roll in milk and add it to the mushroom mixture; then stir in a quarter of a cup of milk and boil, stirring all the time for ten minutes. Rub the mixture through a fine sieve; return it to the pan and make very hot. Scald a half pint or more of milk, according to the number of eggs. Flavor with a piece of onion, which is removed later. Poach the desired number of eggs in the milk. Place the hot sauce on the bottom of flat pudding dish, arrange the eggs on top of it and garnish with fried squares of bread. Economy Eggs. The foundation for this dish is cold boiled potatoes. Select large potatoes and cut thick slices lengthwise, so you have the largest oval possible. Have ready some boiling hot lard or clarified fat. Drop into this the potato ovals and cook until golden brown. Drain thoroughly. Arrange on a hot platter with a rasher or two of bacon cut thin and cooked very crisp on each slice of potato. Then poach an egg for each person and lay this on a slice of potato with the rasher of bacon in between. A sprig of parsley on one side, and you have a very tasty service. Be sure your poached eggs are drained very dry, as the rasher of bacon and potato should be very crisp. Chocolate Eclairs. Weigh four eggs in the shells, take their weight of sugar, half their weight of flour and three-fourths teaspoon baking powder. Sift flour and baking powder well together, beat sugar and egg yolks thoroughly, beat whites stiff. Alternately beat these and the flour into the sugar and eggs, flavor with vanilla. Make little canoes out of stiff white paper and stick together along the sides. Grease and drop a spoonful of the mixture into each, bake in a rather hot oven. Frost with this frosting: Three squares melted chocolate, beat egg whites stiff, add eight tablespoons confectioners' sugar, then the chocolate. Flavor if desired. Patty Cases. Make out a light puff paste, roll it about quarter of an inch thick and cut from it with a sharp biscuit cutter dipper in flour, rounds of pastry. If you wish six patties, cut 18 rounds. Out of 12 of these cut center rounds, thus leaving an opening large enough to contain the compound with which you intend filling your patties. Lay two of the rings on top of each of the rounds, pressing them together lightly and bake in a rather quick oven. They should puff up to nearly or quite twice their first thickness. If the oven is too hot cover them for the first three or four minutes. Creamed Clams. Hard or soft-shelled clams may be used. Steam until they open, and if soft, cut off the back part with scissors. Chop into small pieces and measure them. To each cupful of clams add an equal quantity of white sauce made with one-half cup of cream, one-half cup of clam juice, a tablespoonful of butter and one of flour. Stir until smooth, and at the last moment add clams and heat through. Serve on thin slices of buttered toast, garnished with parsley. Baby's Table. Have in infant's room a small table near the bed in which is a drawer and a little shelf across the center of table just below the drawer. On this table keep articles for baby's use. On top keeps its little basket, a basin and a sponge, and the napkins all folded for use. In drawer keep blips and two small flannel blankets. On shelf below keep pads and large napkins.

"B OOMVILLE Will Celebrate the Nation's Na-Sammy Smith and I stood with our hands in our pockets tal Day." and read the notice in flaming red letters as "Cy" Smith unrolled the poster preparatory to tacking it on "Doc" Blaston's shoe shop. We didn't understand what that "natal day" business meant, but "celebrate" — that could only mean one thing this season of the year. A Whoopee! Cracky! Boom! and Sammy and I shied a tin can at "Doc" Blaston's setter pup and dug down the alley as fast as four brown legs could carry us. Tied a Can on the last as four brown legs could carry us. Pup. "Hey! Stub, it's a-goin't to be; they're puttin' the bill up now." Stub dropped the bait can half full of worms and joined the proclaimers of the glad tidings. Two minutes later we ended up in front of the bill to read further. "I call that a mighty neat job of printin'," said the editor of the Weekly Banner, who had happened along. "We broke the claws holdin' the arrows off our eagle wood cut two years ago and blamed if we could find the piece this year. The old bird looked mighty squatyty until we hit upon havin' him sit on that log from the Mink Lumber Company's ad." "Looks like that old turkey buzzard that roosts on the rotten log in Deacon Shuffecorn's pasture," sniffed old Prof. Krain. Krain had started a paper in opposition to the Banner three years before, but it had fizzled out after intermittent issues for six months. But there wasn't anything squatty about the birds of freedom, as far as we kids could see. Besides, we were busy reading down further what was going to happen. "Fine shade, grand music, magnificent parade, most eloquent speakers in the state. Races! Races! Races! Ball games, climbing the greased pole, catching the greased pig, a grand spectacular exhibition of tight-rope walking by Cant, McMain. "The grand finale, $95.50 worth of fireworks, let off from a stand in front of the city calaboose." These were a few of the features that would mar the usual lethargy of Boomville on July 4. "Shore goin' to have $95 worth of fireworks; there'll be pinwheels, giant fire crackers and skyrockets, till you can't rest," said Sid Girkens. "I know, cause dad was at the meetin' the night they voted to have 'em." It had been five years since Boomville had had a celebration. For 12 years before that time the eagle had screamed in vociferous fashion as regular as Independence day came around. That was when the boom was on the town. In those days Jeff Dascom gave $150 to buy fireworks. Jeff borrows his chewing tobacco now. The bubble had bursted. the lean days time the eagle had screamed in vociferous fashion as regular as Independence day came around. That was when the boom was on the town. In those days Jeff Dascom gave $150 to buy fireworks. Jeff borrows his chewing tobacco now. The bubble had bursted, the lean days had come and patriotism had waned in Boomville. The celebration this year was due to young Leon Talbert who had bought out old Shoebuckler's general merchandise store. He had offered to give $25 as the first contribution. His rival in business, old "Dan" Turner, across the street, growled and said he did it just for advertisement. A man's business was the last thing attended to in Boomville during the next three weeks. Floats had to be built for the Goddess of Liberty and her attendants to ride on. Boomville had no trees that would do as a shade, for the drought three years before had killed even the trees in the city park. Where the young cottonwoods, 20 feet tall, used to grow, was an oat field. Beside the oat field was a stretch of ground that once bore the appellation of "Dascom, boulevard." "Joe" Skinner said he'd have the best crop of potatoes on that ground this year ever raised in Boomville, if the bugs didn't hit 'em or the hot winds blow. "I reckon they ought to be better than ordinary, bein' raised on that high-flutin' ground," he used to fling at Joe Dascom, who helped him hoe them. A thin line of cottonwoods and a few scragged elms on Cewskin creek, five miles away, were the nearest trees to Boomville now. Jim McGood solved the shade problem. He would build an arbor, himself, if they would give him the sole privilege of selling lemonade and ice cream near by. Jim's offer was accepted. On July 3 Sammy Smith and I were pretty busy. We kept the road warm between the place where Jim McGood was putting leafy branches of cottonwood, brought from the Cowskin grove, over a frame work of plank, and the back part of the livery stable where the floats were being decked in tinsel and red, white and blue bunting. We never had any real fun until late in the afternoon, when we tied a can on "Doc" Blaston's setter pup and set off a bunch of firecrackers in it. We hated "Doc" Blaston and had even less regard for his setter pup, because he wouldn't chase a jack rabbit. We were sorry afterwards we did it, for that premature can spoiled a whole lot of fun next day. Every dog in Boomville decamped that night; even the cats roosted in the trees for two days. A boom that rattled the window frames awakened me before day next morning. With no hat and only one suspender over my shoulder I scurried down to Uncle Billy's blacksmith shop. Uncle Billy was out in front shooting off the anvil. He had a whole quart can of powder. Carefully the square hole in the anvil was filled with powder and a hardwood plug whittled to fit it. A gorove in one side of the plug was left for the fuse. Uncle Billy scratched the match down the leg of his overalls, touched the fuse and then hurried behind the shop door. The aged blacksmith was slightly deaf and liked a noisy Fourth. Thirteen times the powder was poured in and touched off. The events of that day crowded upon each other fast and furious. The parade started half an hour late because the Goddess couldn't get her brown hair waving to the best effect. After the parade things dragged a little until the speaking began. We wouldn't have stayed around near the speaking except we sometimes got a dish of ice cream for turning a freezer for Jim. A man running away from a bomb. The Hon. Timothy Todhunter gave the oration and Deacon Heffle-tower read the Declaration of Independence. That is he started to read it. He had taken a copy of the declaration from his hlp pocket and started to read when Sammy Smith touched a cannon cracker off behind the speakers' stand. The deacon was naturally very excitable. He tried to proceed but his hands jerked spasmodically. Suddenly the declaration parted in the middle where it had been folded in the deacon's pocket. They sent after a new declaration, but the crowd had left before it arrived. The greased pig had been caught and the entries were just in for the slippery pole climbing exhibition when my recollection came to a vivid close.

ICE DECLARED MILES DEEP Congealed Liquid in Vast Quantities Flowed Far Down Mississippi Valley—Underlying Strata Highly Polished by Motion. BY G. FREDERICK WRIGHT, A. M., LL. D. (Author of "The Ice Age in North America," "Man and the Glacial Period." Etc.) (Copyright, Joseph B. Bowles.) The story of the glacial period has not been half told. Its wonders are increasing every day. It is the last of the great geological epochs, and has not yet passed away. Greenland is still shivering under the rigors of glacial conditions. With the exception of a narrow belt of mountains around the southern end, the whole continent, some 500,000 square miles in extent, is still buried beneath ice from one mile to two miles deep, while the antarctic continent, with a still greater area, is so completely enveloped in ice that explorers have yet been able to penetrate only the merest fringe at two or three points. But during the glacial period proper the ice to a depth of more than a mile covered 4,000,000 square miles ```markdown ``` View of an Antarctic Ice Sheet. of North America and 2,000,000 square miles in Europe. In North America the southern border of this ice field extended into the ocean off the New England coast, rising like a great ice wall out of the water, and westward to a line running through Long Island, across New Jersey and Pennsylvania, to Salamanca, N. Y., where it turned southwestward and, with many minor variations, reached the Ohio river 50 or 60 miles above Cincinnati, crossed Kentucky and southern Indiana, reaching its farthest extent at Carbondale, Ill.; thence northwest, it crossed the Mississippi river at St. Louis, and followed the Missouri and Kansas rivers to Topeka, where it swung northward across the eastern parts of Kansas and Nebraska, and through central Dakota to near the Canada line; thence proceeding (with a long loop where it crossed the Rocky mountains and the Sierras) to Puget sound and the Pacific ocean. If one had approached this line during the glacial period anywhere from the south, he would have immediately struck the conditions of Greenland, and found them continuous for thousands of miles. Alaska still retains the stumps of this great glacier, several hundred square miles being covered by the Muir glacier alone, and a still larger area by the Malaspina glacier, which comes down from Mount St. Ellas. In Europe the ice fields radiated from the Scandinavian peninsula, extending across the North sea to southern England, and across the Baltic to central Germany and southeastern Russia. In thinking of the glacial period it should be kept clearly in mind that glacial ice is simply compressed snow. Glaciers are formed wherever there is a snowfall which exceeds the melting power of the warm season. Everyone is familiar with the fact that a snowball may be made as hard as ice by sufficient pressure in the hands. That ice in great masses could flow like cold tar or molasses or any other semi-fluid seemed, until a short time ago, impossible, and did not enter into the thought of mankind. But about 70 years ago it was demonstrated in Switzerland that the ice was actually moving down the valleys, proceeding, not like an avalanche, but creeping with a true flow, and carrying on its back and frozen into its mass fragments of rock of varying sizes, some of them being as large as a small house. Under the lee of one of these rock masses on top of the Aar glacier Agassiz built him a hut, and conducted many of his important observations. The great extent of this glacial movement in former times was shown by the distance which some of these bowlers had been carried. In North America the transportation of bowlders by glacial ice has been even more remarkable. The backbone of Cape Cod and Long Island, a line of hills from one hundred to two hundred feet high, and two or three miles broad, is simply a pile of bowlders and small fragments transported from New England to Canada. Plymouth Rock is a glacial bowlder which journeyed from its northern home thousands of years before the Pilgrims set out from Holland. Bowlders from the Adirondack mountains are found upon the summits of the Alleghenies in northeastern Pennsylvania. In southern Ohio there are long belts of Canadian bowlers which can be traced to ledges of rock north of Lake Huron. Even in Boone county, Kentucky, a few miles south of Cincinnati, a number of red jasper conglomerate bowlers, some of them two or three feet in diameter, have been found, which came from well-known ledges in Canada north of Lake Huron. Bowlers of large size from these same ledges have also been found as far southwest as Keokuk, Ia. Bowlers from Wisconsin and Minnesota and Dakota abound in northern Missouri down to the Missouri river, some having recently been uncovered. Armed with these facts concerning the former extent of the Swiss glaciers, Agassiz went to Great Britain, and came to America, and initiated those investigations which have shown the spread of glacial ice over the areas already mentioned. Scandinavian bowlers cover northern Germany, and are found 700 miles southeast at Kief in Russia, found at Tuscumbia, 60 miles up the Osage river, which comes down from the Ozark uplift to the south. They are also found on the south side of the Kansas river as far west as Lawrence and Topeka, while windwinds of them are found in central Dakota which have been derived from ledges in the vicinity of Lake Superior. The size of these ice-transported bowlders is certainly surprising. Several in Switzerland which have been moved more than 100 miles would weigh more than a thousand tons apiece. The celebrated Pierre-a-Bot, a bowler above Neufchatel, Switzer- ```markdown ``` land, measured 50 by 20 by 40 feet, containing about 40,000 cubic feet; while another near Monthey contained more than 60,000 cubic feet. Ship rock, near Peabody, Mass., is a glacially transported bowler estimated to weigh 1,100 tons; while Mohegan rock in Montville, Conn., near Norwich, would weigh 10,000 tons. At Madison, N. H., there is a bowler measuring 30 by 40 by 75 feet, which can be traced to ledges Conway granite, about two miles away. The so-called Judge's cave, or West Rock, near New Haven, Conn., is formed by a transported bowler weighing 1,000 tons, which can be traced to well-known dykes of trap 16 miles to the north. A granite bowler near Lebanon, O. which was brought by the ice from Canada, measures 17 by 13 feet, with eight feet out of ground, and evidently a much larger mass under the ground. But Prof. Orton has described a mass of Clinton limestone in Freeport, Warren county, Ohio, which is three-fourths of an acre in area and 16 feet in thickness, which has been brought several miles. The central part of northern Iowa contains a great number of bowlers of exceptional size brought from several hundred miles away. One of them furnished building stone enough to construct an entire church. Although these transported bowlders are such striking witnesses to the slow but majestic movement of glacial ice during the glacial period, they are by no means the only ones. As the ice slowly crept over the surface fragments of rock became frozen into its lower strata, and bowlders, gravel, sand and clay were dragged along beneath it, furrowing and scratching and polishing the surface of the rock to an astonishing degree. Almost anywhere over this glaciated area the removal of the soil will reveal scratched and polished rocks underneath. The direction of the scratches and the grooves shows the direction in which the ice was moving at the time they were made. This was, in the main, outward, toward the margin of the glaciated area which we have described, but there were many curious variations. In central Ohio the direction of the glacial scratches is southeast, whereas on the islands in the western part of Lake Erie it is very nearly west. At Logansport, Ind., extensive grooves and scratches have been found where the movement is toward the north. This variation in the direction of the grooves and scratches indicates that there were eddies in the ice, such as are found in the current of a deep, slow-moving stream of water. The grooves on the islands in the western end of Lake Erie are among the most remarkable in the world. One groove, in hard corniferous limestone, was about 20 feet broad and eight feet deep, extending for a long distance across Kelley island. The surface of this groove is most finely polished, corals and other fossils being cut off as sharply as could be by any graver's tool. The direction of these grooves in the bed of Lake Erie is evidently due to the fact that the depression of the lake diverted the ice movement in its closing stages in the direction of its longer diameter toward the natural outlet on the west. --- OF POTATOES AND CHEESE. New Way of Putting Together Two Popular Foods. Boll about a dozen potatoes, and while hot mash very soft with hot milk and melted butter, adding salt and pepper to taste. Whip light and heap in the center of a baking dish. Smooth the sides of the mound with a knife, and carefully remove about a cupful of potato from the center of the mound, leaving a cavity in its place. Dip a feather or brush in the white of an egg, and cover the inside of the hollow, and the top and sides of the mound with this. Set in the oven to get very hot and to brown lightly, when done take out and fill the hollow with cheese sauce; sprinkle the potatoes and cheese with crumbs and return to the oven for five minutes before sending to the table. To make the cheese sauce, put half a cupful of butter in a saucepan and melt. When it simmers stir in gradually five heaping tablespoonfuls of grated cheese, the beaten yolks of two eggs, a pinch of cayenne and salt to taste. Stir until thick and smooth; pour into the hollow of the potato mound and around the base. TO MAKE GOOD ANGEL CAKE. Important That The Whites of Eggs Be in Proper Shape. Mix seven ounces of fine winter flour, one ounce of cornstarch, three-quarters of a pound of powdered sugar and one heaping teaspoon of cream of tartar, together, and then sift them five times. Take $1\frac{1}{2}$ pint of the whites of eggs and beat them until stiff and smooth as possible. Your cake will be tough and leathery unless the whites are sufficiently firm to bear an egg, and the texture very firm and fine grained. Now stir in the sifted materials as lightly and quickly as possible, using for the purpose a wire spoon or egg beater. Bake in an ungreased Turk's head, or, better still, a Van Dusen cake mold, in a moderate oven for 35 or 40 minutes. When done, take it from the oven, turn the bottom up, allowing the pan to rest on the table to cool. When the cake is cold pass a limber knife around the sides, shake lightly and the cake will drop out. Ice it with vanilla, orange or almond soft icing Sand Bag for Sickroom One of the most convenient articles to be used in a sickroom is a sand bag. Get some clean, fine sand; dry it thoroughly in a pan on the stove. Make a bag about eight inches square of flannel, fill it with dry sand, sew the opening carefully together and cover the bag with cotton or linen. This will prevent the sand from sifting out, and will also enable you to heat the bag quickly by placing it in the oven or on the top of the stove. After once using this you will never attempt to warm the feet or hands of a sick person with a bottle of hot water or a brick. The sand holds the heat a long time, and the bag can be tucked up to the back without hurting the invalid. It is a good plan to make two or three of the bags and keep them on hand, ready for use at any time when needed. Strawberry Sarabande. Whip a cupful thick cream until very stiff, then fold carefully into it a pint fresh berries cut in small pieces with a silver knife. Have ready a tablespoonful gelatin soaked in a quarter cup cold water for half an hour, then dissolved by setting the cup containing it in hot water. Add by degrees to the berries and cream, whipping it in so that it will not string. Add three tablespoonfuls powdered sugar and when it stiffens turn into cold mold and set on the ice. When ready to serve turn out onto a pretty dessert platter. Art in Ice Cream Molds. It is almost an art now to design molds for ice cream. Often the customers of the large shops suggest what forms they wish the cream or ice for a certain occasion to assume, and the caterer arranges to have the idea carried out. In this way many odd molds are acquired. Flowers and fruit are always a favorite. One may have roses to match the color scheme of the table decorations. There are also tiny automobiles, "Teddy bears" and dolls. Small Girl's Hair. To dress the hair of the baby girl who is not blessed with curly locks, take a piece of ribbon just long enough to reach across top of head from ear to ear, fasten to each end a bow or rosette and a narrow elastic to fit snugly around the head beneath the hair. Brush the hair back or part in middle or on side. Place the ribbon on the head, a rosette above each ear. This will keep the hair in place and be becoming. Counternanes for Metal Beds Dainty counterpanes may be made with little labor and small expense by buying a pair of lace or muslin curtains. Fasten the sides of the curtain which are not ruffled with insertion as wide as you desire. The ruffled ends will fall over the sides and end of the bed with a charming effect. A cambric cover of any color to harmonize with the room may be placed under the top cover. Pure Pressed Meat. In preparing pressed chicken or pressed meat of any kind there need be no fear of poisoning, as is sometimes the case, if two things are observed: First, never pack it in tin; porcelain lined pans or crocks are best. Second, never cover it while warm, as that sometimes causes a poisonous gas to form which is injurious in its effect USE FAULTLESS THE BEST STARCH FOR LAUNDRY WORK FOR SHIRTS COLLARS CUFFS AND FINE LINEN WOODWORTH SHORTHAND COLLEGE AND Wallaces Business College Principal of Stenographic Department is a Court Reporter.

When Patrick McGinnagan became a member of the Chicago police force last week, a delegation of his friends burst in upon him while he was at dinner and presented him with a handsome night stick in honor of his popularity and their esteem. Completely bewildered by this unexpected token, the new policeman nevertheless struggled to his feet and stammered his appreciation. "Frinds, ye have upset me wid y'r kindness," he said, flourishing the night stick. "Oi'll try an' do me duty wid this little shillay, an' I hope an' thrust that ivry mon here'll live t' feel its infiltrice." Suicides in Natal. The abnormal suicide wave which is passing over this country has been made the subject of very serious thought, and it is well that it should be so. In Natal within the past four weeks there have been three suicides of Europeans, which, on the basis of population, is four times greater than the suicide rate in England and Wales, a deplorable state of affairs indeed. In Durban a few weeks ago it was stated that suicides were taking place at the rate of one a day.—Natal Witness. In a Pinch, Use ALLEN'S FOOT-EASE. A powder.

COSTUME OF GREEN CLOTH. Crochet Work the Best for Use in the | Model That Is Very Popular Just at Hot Weather. Present. Crocheted edgings make a pretty and useful finish for pillow cases used during the summer, when simple bed furnishings are preferred to the more ornate. Many women keep a bit of this crochet work at hand to do when enjoying the cool breezes of the ver- anda or whiling away a few minutes in their rooms. It makes excellent pick-up work. ‘The favorite crochet pattern for this use is the Greek key, which is made with the corner worked in the lace. For shams the corner is necessary, but for the pillow cases straight cro- chet is all that is required. The Greek key pattern is about two inches in width, with a battlemented edge. ‘The key design runs through the upper side of the lace. A wheel pattern looks well when used this way and is simpler to make on account of being narrower. The fa- vorite one has a row of wheels through the center and a fan-shaped edge. The Worcester cross border is an- other effective pattern if one likes a wider lace. When made it is at least three inches in width. SPEND TIME ON THE COIFFURE. Simple Effects Require Patience and Artistic Taste. Present coiffures reveal infinite pa- tience and infinite time in the doing, and the effect is simple and artless in the extreme. No more of your round bullet heads, encircled with regular and almost metallic waves achieyed by the systematic passage of a hot iron mathematically balanced, and sur- mounted by a geometrical coil of pre- cise proportions and definite outline— all this is now thought provincial, prim, graceless, not to say demode. Instead, the hair is bundled, rolled, twisted and looped with the appear- ance of carelessness and indefinite in- tention, high drawn here, drooping there, now sweeping in a smooth, long, flat stretch of shining lock, then break- ing into a witching tendril or fascinat- ing curl. The iron crumples up this little spot, or a bit of brilliantine smoothes out that, after the coiffure fs almost completed, as the exigencies of the hair ornament or hat suggest. No two women wear their hair alike, save that it is done over, invariably, for the evening in a more elaborate fashion than for the morning.—Vogue. Old Jewelry Fashionable. Bring out your old-time trinkets this summer, as they will be fashionable, no matter how ancient they may be. Old-fashioned necklaces will be espe- clally in favor, and those with long pendants are preferred. One such set seen recently in the east was of the bunch-of-grapes design, and attracted a great deal of attention, but they were not used as earrings, but as pendants for a necklace that was made out of a pair of bracelets of the same desigv Secure Pins for Large Hats. New hatpins are shown that fasten to the bandeau with small spikes, and from there they run with double prongs through the hair. These novel- ties seem to hold the hat firmly in place, more firmly than any of their ornate cousins, and they cannot pos- uibly do any injury to the hat. Fichu Frocks.

In a certain home is a large reading table and in the center of it is fas- tened a hand-wrought mission lamp that cost $12. It is securely fastened to the center of the table with iron screws and bolts underneath the table. ‘The owner explained that the lamp was necessary in the room and the children liked to play games on the table or it was a favorite place for study and they lived in constant dread of a lamp being tilted until the idea of fastening it securely to the table was thought of.

In the case of nervous troubles or a run- down condition of the system it may be taken both internally and external. ly with great profit, Massage with olive ofl and afterwards rub down with a Turkish towel and the result will soon be felt.

Bridge coats and blouses of every description are again to the fore, and nothing can equal the smartness of the lace coats, usually three-quarter lengths, sometimes with long, hanging points in front, and sometimes closed up across the bust; and for these gar. ments crochet is first {n favor. Eidle weiss lace, with a design in the Greek key pattern, is used for the three quarter length coats with deep gilt fronts, turning back in the form of Tevers. SS» J Cc ‘b 925-/6'" ST... —- OPP.

By This Device Three Dishes May Be Prepared at Once in the Same Frying Pan — Welcomed by Many. The New Frying Pan.—For the woman who cooks for two a great con- venience will be found in the new fry- ing pan, in which it is possible to pre- pore more than one dish at a time, thus saving fuel, utensils and trouble. A picture in a recent magazine shows a simple frying pan, with ordinary handle and different only in having a partition in the center bent in the shape of a broad V. Another straight piece goes from the point of the V to the other side of the pan. This makes three compartments, and per- mits the cooking of three dishes at once. For the bachelor girl in cramped quarters who gets her own breakfast, any device is a help. Often her room or studio is equipped with only one gas bummer, and it must be made to do as much service as possible in a limited time. Among the girls at the Art institute there are many who cook their own meals with slim parapher- nalla. An actress in the “Road to Yesterday” company, recently said: “Many of us prefer to breakfast in our rooms rather thin bother to dress and go to the hotel dining room early in the day.” She proudly produced a tin cup and a spirit lamp “by aid of which,” she said, “I can, in the course of human events, boil an egg and make a cup of coffee." Her ambition was to have a small gas burner and tube and a lit- tle frying pan of her very own. “Think of the Welsh rabbit I could make, after the play,” she said. To such a girl and to thousands of her kind this new frying pan ought to be very welcome. Polish Tarts.—Roll some good puff paste very thin. Cut into three-inch Squares. Brush each square with the white of an egg, then fold the corners so that they all meet in the middle. Brush over all with the white of an egg, sift sugar over them and bake in a quick oven. When done, drop a spoon of jam or jelly in the center where the ends join. Dried Peach Pie—Until the fresh peaches get a bit cheaper, the average housewife will make her family con- tent with pie made of the dried fruit. ‘This is really very nice if carefully prepared. To the stewed and sweet- ened fruit add some sweet cream and a little butter. This, with some spice, makes the pie delicious, and is well worth the trouble and trifle of added cost. Cocoanut Pyramids.—These can be made in ten minutes in the afternoon if company comes in for a cup of t Beat the whites of two eges with ou half pound of powdered sugar; bet well, until they will “stand alone.” Then beat in one-half cup of dessi- cated (or grated) cocoanut and shape into pyramids. They require no cook- ing, but should be placed in a greased tin, or on paper, and browned in a quick oven.—Chieago Journal. Uses of Paper. The careful housewife has a use for everything, and the daily papers are by no means an inconsiderable factor toward insuring a clean kitchen. For instance, a supply of paper folded in eight and hung up over the kitchen sink will be found convenient to slip under a hot kettle that has just been lifted from the stove, A store of full-sized printed sheets should likewise be kept in the kitchen table drawer, so that there is always one handy to spread over the table if necessary during work, which can be afterward burnt. Prunes Without Sugar. I wonder how many housewives know that prunes require absolutely no sweetening. I found by accident that if they are cooked slowly for “hours and hours” there is a sugar from them that nature provides as a sweetening, In other words, “they sweeten themselves,” aad if cooked long enough are covered with a rich syrup, without one grain of sugar be- ing added to them. ‘The flavor is also improved by this method of cooking them, and the oftentimes despised prune sauce becomes an enjoyable aa- dition to the table—Boston Post. Mint Crackere with Tea. An English fancy this, and a very taking one. Mix into a dough one cup- ful butter and three of sugar creamed together, three well-beaten eggs, a cup- ful of milk, two teaspoonfuls baking powder sifted with six cupfuls flour and a tablespoonful finely minced mint, Roll very thin, cut into squares and bake ina hot oven to a light brown. Apple Custard Pie. One large cup real wet, sour apple sauce, one cup sugar and the yolks of two eggs. Beat all together and bake in one crust as a custard pie. When done frost with the whites of two eggs and one tablespoon of sugar beaten stiff. Set in oven to brown. English Mint Sauce. The English make their mint sauce with the addition of broth or con- comme. To a handful of the finely minced leaves they add a half cupful each of water and broth, then four tablespoonfuls vinegar, a tablespoon- ful salt and a teaspoon of sugar. Mix well.
