Discussion in Atlanta Constitution by Race Leaders and Prominent White Men and Women. Establishment of a CathOlic Tuskegee. VOL. XVI. "SERMO CHU Makes Many Converts in the Discussion in Atlanta Con and Prominent White M lishment of a C Atlanta, Ga., July 12.—If the voice of the people is the voice of God, the Creator of men is speaking in great volume just now down here in Atlanta. For leaders of Negro thought and education, white club women high in society and white men are growing gray in service, in law courts and legislative bodies have joined the trumpeters playing to the tune of "Betterment of the Negroes here in our midst." All this because of the "Sermon to the Churches" preached from the sanctum of the Atlanta Constitution, a paper that seems bitten these days by the microbe of fair play. The colored brethren are crying "Preach again," and the white people are exclaiming "It's true. Let's see what we can do." "The voice of God," we say. It was a voice from quite another quarter that some three years ago set the city rampart with blood and lawlessness. But now the needle has turned. Another voice certainly whispers in the breast of those who stand at the helm. Mastered everywhere by the spirit of good will and of mutual help, the members of these representative bodies, the Negro leaders, the white club women and the leading white men, are speaking out frankly the truth as they see it. "The Negroes will not receive us," exclaimed a white brother of the cloth some weeks ago, in defending the lethargy of the church toward the Negro. "I do not know of a single instance," modestly replies Rev. J. A. Bush, of the Central Avenue Methodist Church (colored), "where the efforts of Southern white people to help the Negro in his mental, moral or spiritual uplift has been refused. On the contrary every time they have helped a church, a school, a home or an individual it has been hailed with rejoicing and thanksgiving." "We hail with delight anything our white friends do for us in a missionary way," answers Rev. E. P. Johnson, of the Reed Street Baptist Church. Suggests a System of Lectures. As if to silence this excuse forever, Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, of Gammon Theological Seminary, invites --- the white people to plan a system of lectures and the like to be given to the Negroes. "Inquire among us," he writes, "and you will find that the Negro churches and schools and benevolent institutions would welcome the co-operation of the white people in training the young and fitting them for service in any and every capacity. May there not be found in our city a large number of your Christian ladies and gentlemen who would consent to come into the Negro churches and teach Sunday School classes and assist in conducting meetings?" Tuning his lyre to a sad lay, Benjamin G. Brawley, a songster of some standing, adds his word of melody to soothe maybe and to concentrate the feeling from the black man's point of view. Picturing the black boy as standing bewildered before the bar of justice, Mr. Brawley sings: whirl of years The scale of justice and the meed of sin. Ye men who own the cotton fields and plains, Who build the whirring factories and the mills, Weaving the fabric of our common wealth, What is the heritage ye give this child? What will ye say in that hereafter day, When far beyond the systems of the world, Within the circuit of the Eternal Judge, His asking eyes once more shall fix on you?" Club Women Take a Hand. The daughters of slave owners and knowing the Negro at first hand from the servant girl problem, the club women who have shared in the discussion speak with authority of practical experience. "The Negro problem and its solution is essentially a religious movement. But the pulpit cannot do it alone. Our State and Government must lock hands with the pulpit in this burning issue of our country. Religion, reformation and industrial education can solve this problem of problems," says Mrs. Balling Jones. "The Negro's emigration or extermination seems very improbable as conditions now exist," writes Mrs. W. Woods White. "It seems DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 23 1910. to me the immediate point of attack is the home. This is the weakest spot in the life of the race. In the first place we should provide them better homes, better locations, more grounds, better sanitation, constant inspection and helpful visitations." Thoroughly agreeing with Mrs. White, Mrs. Hamilton Douglas writes: "The great need of the Negro is the development of the home ideal. It is the lack of the home, the primary unit in any civilization, that fills our streets with vagrant Negro children. Among the agencies that may be used are the kindergarten, the playground, industrial education and industrial reformatory." South Should Follow Example of "We have a direct personal relation with the Negro," declares Mrs. John E. White. "I fear," she continues, "it is true that Southern women have to share very largely in the blame for the general inattention in the South to the moral abandonment of the Negro people." Mrs. Victor H. Kreigshaber urges the South to follow the example of the North. "I, myself, coming from the North, know of existing conditions there, where the white people provide ways and means for the colored people. In the North they have long since realized that education and occupation are diametrically opposite to ignorance and idleness, therefore crime. Are they not showing foresight in building schools and colleges instead of jails and reformatories for the improvement of the neglected race?" It is with no uncertainty of sentiment that the "big men" of the State enter the discussion. "True religion administered by the white man without prejudice" is the remedy offered by Judge John L. Hopkins. "If the churches," declares Robert S. Quinn, "would get together and use as much energy in caring for the heathen at our back doors as they do for the salvation of the foreign infidel, we would soon have a decided change in conditions." Hon. Seaborn Wright, the evangel of Prohibition in the State of Georgia, sees in the strict enforcement of Prohibition laws the banishment of Negro crime as well as of white crime. "Crime," he declares, "among the Negro population of Georgia has decreased 50 per cent, since the passing of the prohibition laws. The saloon is the maker of criminals. It is their rendezvous and visiting place." A "Catholic Tuskegee." Strange, and yet most natural, is the tribute that occasionally breaks out to Tuskegee. Indeed the whole situation is a sort of compliment to the sage of that institution. More than a year ago Booker T. Washington declared both in New York and in Washington that a change in race feeling was everywhere taking place in the South, that a better relationship was being established. He must smile indeed at this flattering instance of his declaration. How complimentary it must be to have suggestion after suggestion from both men and women that industrial schools will go far toward the solution of the problem as it exists in the congested city. Finally a white Protestant, seeing that his church owed the Negro fully as much as did the Catholic denomination, suggested that Protestants follow the example of Father Burke, of New York. Wishing as a missionary to establish something for the Negro in the South, Father Burke turned to Tuskegee for a model. Here he found a "civilization works," and the Catholic missionary board at Baltimore favored the establishment of an institution in the heart of the South to be known as the "Catholic Tuskegee." "Everything," says a British writer, "goes by talk, having its origin at the fireside, around the table, and in the social circles." Let us hope that here in Atlanta something of material help to the Negro will spring from the many kindly discussions arising from the "Sermon to the Churches." Johnson At Victoria Theatre. John Arthur Johnson, undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, is the principal attraction at Hammerstein's Victoria Theatre this week, and despite the heat the theatre is packed and jammed at every performance. That the New York theatre-goers have a friendly feeling for the colored fighter is demonstrated by the vociferous applause that greets him at each appearance. After punching the bag and giving a three-round exhibition with Walter Monohan, Johnson makes the following speech: I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this ovation. When I was in this city some time ago before the match between Mr. Jeffries and myself was made, I said that Mr. Jeffries was one of the greatest fighters in the world. Since that time I have had a practical experience of Mr. Jeffries' worth, and I have no occasion to change my opinion. You all know how the fight was prohibited in California and was transferred to Reno, where we fought it out. Mr. Jeffries is game to the core. He put up a game fight and took a terrible gruelling without flinching. He fought a fine battle and took his defeat in a manly way. While I hold the position in the pugilistic world that I do I will try to defend my title againit all comers.—N. Y. Age. RACE NEWS New York, July 17.—Richard J. Comiskey, who Jack Johnson says is his secretary, was bounced out of the champion's car as it took a sharp curve in the theatrical district this afternoon, and his left leg was broken. Comiskey was put in a private room at a hospital at Johnson's order. Atlanta, Ga., July 8.—According to the books of the State Tax Commissioner, there are about 261,000 persons entitled to vote in Georgia. Of these only a little over 11,000 are colored. Four of the 181 counties have not a single colored voter. Fulton county in which Atlanta is situated and which has a colored population exceeding 80,000 has only 759 colored voters. that members of the legal secure fertilizer for seven a ton less than those we belong. The Patapsco composed of business and national men and farmers Relay, a few miles from Cornelius C. Fitzgerald ful lawyer with offices it was re-elected president Jeremiah Gaither and Brooks were elected of the National Negro League, which meets in next month. Atlanta, Ga., July 11. turn around has taken its headship of two imputations in this city. The institutions are Clark University Gammon Theological Up until a few days ago. Newark, Ohio, July 11.—By the irony of fate the first case to come under the new Eubanks anti lynching law will be that caused by the lynching here of Carl M. Etherington, the anti-saloon detective. The new law provides a penalty and the removal of sheriffs who permit lynchings. The author of the law, is Harry F. Eubanks, a colored member of the legislature from Cleveland. The Hon. Charles W. Anderson, Collector of Internal Revenue of the Second District of New York, and leader of the colored Republicans in that city and state, has succeeded in having Benjamin F. Thomas, proprietor of the Hotel Maceo, New York City, appointed a state examiner of automobile chauffeurs, at a salary of $1,800 a year. As usual, Mr. Anderson is looking out for the interests of the race. Ocean Grove, N. J., July 9.—Dr. W. G. B. DuBois, director of publicity and research for the Association for the Advancement of the Colored People, delivered an address to-day before the Friends' General Convention. He spoke at length about the Negro question and declared that the race question was more acute than ever. He spoke of the poor educational facilities for the Negro in the South, and urged better educational facilities as one of the solvents of the race question. Baltimore, Md., July 13.—One of the advantages of being banded together was brought out at the recent meeting of Patapsco Business League was the statement NO.45 that members of the league could secure fertilizer for several dollars a ton less than those who did not belong. The Patapsco League is composed of business and professional men and farmers near the Relay, a few miles from Baltimore Cornelius C. Fitzgerald, a success ful lawyer with offices in this city, was re-elected president. Messrs Jeremiah Gaither and William A. Brooks were elected delegates to the National Negro Business League, which meets in New York next month. Atlanta, Ga., July 12.—Quite a turn around has taken place in the headship of two important institutions in this city. These institutions are Clark University and Gammon Theological Seminary. Up until a few days ago each had a colored man as its president. For a number of years Prof. W. H. Crogman has been president of Cark University, and Dr. J. W. E. Bowen has been president of Gammon Theological Seminary. For some reason it appears that the trustees felt that the administration of these two institutions on par of these two gentlemen could be improved upon, and therefore at a recent meeting of the board of trustees it was decided to consolidate Clark University and Gammon Theological Seminary under a single president and he to be a white man. Prof. Crogman takes a professorship at Clark University and Dr. Bowen takes a professorship in Gammon Theological Seminary. Guthrie, Okla., July 12.—On August 2 the proposed "grandfather" clause will be voted upon in this State with a view to disfranchising thousands of Negro voters. The Republicans will do everything in their power to defeat the measure, and more Negroes will vote next month than ever before in the history of Oklahoma. The proposed grandfather clause reads as follows: No person shall be registered as an elector of this State, or be allowed to vote in any election held herein, unless he be able to read and write any section of the constitution of the State of Oklahoma; but no person who was on January 1, 1886, or at any time prior thereto, entitled to vote under any form of government, or who at that time resided in some foreign nation, and no lineal descendant of such person, shall be denied the right to register and vote because of his inability to read and write any section of such constitution.

Grand Junction.-The Colorado Stock Growers' convention closed Tuesday. Little was done at the last session beyond passing the resolutions offered by the executive committee and one censuring the Colorado Live Stock Association for claiming to represent the majority of stock raisers of Colorado and leading ex-President Roosevelt to believe their claim. The convention was adjourned until the stock show opens in Denver in January, when the annual meeting will be held. Cowboy Breakfast for Ted. Denver.—Former President Roosevelt has accepted an invitation to attend, during his coming visit to Denver, a cowboy breakfast on the InterState Fair and Exposition grounds, as the guest of the Denver Press Club.

Investigation showed that Welch had crushed cyanide on a rock at the spring and drank it in a collapsible cup he carried. FOREST FIRES DEFY RANGERS MONTANA AND WESTERN CAN ADA STILL IN FIRE KING'S FIERCE GRASP. RAIN IS THE ONLY HOPE WESTERN WASHINGTON ADVICES INDICATE POSSIBLE CONTROL OVER DEMON. Kalispell, Mont.—The forest fire situation is growing worse. No sooner is one fire gotten under control than two others are reported. The smoke in the city Wednesday has been worse than before and the mountains have not been seen for weeks. The sheriff has a large force of deputies fighting the fires on the state timber lands and he has made a call on the state board for more funds to hire fire fighters as the fire area appears to be spreading. The only hope of quenching the flames appears to be of rain, and there is no present indication of that. Some fear has been expressed that the smoke would injure the grain and fruit crops, but so far no damage has been done. Winnipesq, Manitoba.—Forest fires continue to burn with intense fierceness in the Slocan and Kootenal districts in the West and are breaking out in the Rainey River district in the East. Only a heavy rain can stay their progress. The whole country is covered with smoke. Forest fires reached the Revelstoke Lumber Company's big plant at Revelstoke Wednesday afternoon, destroying it with a loss of over $100, 000. Milwaukee, Wis.—Dispatches from the northern part of the state tell of havoc being wrought by forest fires in the small lumbering towns. Maniwa, with 400 inhabitants, and Heineman, a town of 500, were destroyed. Forest fires are also raging in the vicinity of Wittenberg. Seattle, Wash.—Absence of wind enabled the men fighting forest fires in western Washington to keep the flames from spreading seriously Wednesday and with rain predicted, the forest rangers are hopeful of being able to put an end to the blazes threatening valuable standing timber in this section. Prognosis on the President Bar Harbor.—Sailing from Eastport Wednesday morning, President Taft and his party are in Bar Harbor and will remain here until Saturday, Mr. Taft is still keeping "hands off" in Ohio and there is no indication of a change in his attitude of "not mixing" in the situation prior to the selection of candidates. The President will have an important conference Thursday with H. C. Emery, chairman of the new tariff commission, regarding the latter's tariff inquiries abroad. Mr. Taft hopes to have the entire commission meet at Beverly later and this conference will be a preliminary to that gathering. Senator Hale arrived in Bar Harbor shortly before the Mayflower was sighted and had a long talk with the President. Uncle Sam Loosens Up. Washington.—The postoffice department today authorized promotions of postal clerks in Colorado as follows: Denver, fifteen from $600 to $800; five from $800 to $900; seven from $900 to $1,000; seventeen from $1,000 to $1,100; thirteen from $1,100. to $1,200. Boulder, one from $1,100 to $1,200. Renudiated Their Action.

Proper Niche There Is Right Place for Every Man By MADISON C. PETERS "The Deserted Village." Cromwell was a farmer at forty, and Grant a tanner at thirty-eight, although the latter had fitted himself for his great life work by military education at West Point. No man will ever do his best until he fills his proper niche. Many an ambitious parent forces a boy to become either a doctor, a lawyer or a preacher, and thus defeated, disappointed and dispirited, the boy who might have become a successful farmer, a good blacksmith or a merchant prince. There are many fathers who think it their divine right to dictate the boy's calling in life. Handel, the great composer, was set aside for the law, and his father, a physician, did all he could to destroy the boy's fondness for music. The parents of Bach meanly denied the boy a candle so that he had to copy his music by moonlight. Galileo, discoverer of the pendulum, inventor of both the microscope and the telescope, was set apart by his parents for a physician, but he would hide his physiology and on the quiet work out the most difficult problems in mathematics. Lorraine, the painter, was apprenticed by his parents to a pastry cook, while Arkwright's parents apprenticed him to a barber. John Jacob Astor's father intended to make a butcher of his son, which determination caused the boy to run away from his home in Germany and brought him to America. There can be no greater mistake on the part of the parent than to seek to bend the boy's design where his genius does not incline. The world does not demand that any man shall be a famous lawyer, a skillful Ignorant of Causes of Insanity By DR. CARL A. WICKLAND Dr. William H. Thompson, physician to the Roosevelt hospital, New York, has alluded to the unexpected discovery that insanity is not a disease of the brain, because no anatomical investigation, microscopical or otherwise, can show the least difference between either brain cell or fiber of a person dying insane and the healthy brain of one killed in an accident. The underlying cause that the symptoms indicate is ignored and this principally because it leads to the unpopular subject, namely—demoniacal or spirit obsession. On the other hand, research in abnormal psychology has so far advanced that it has now become feasible to transfer the insanity, in given cases, to a psychic sensitive who exhibits all the symptoms of the insane patient, with the result that the latter is relieved. This has actually been done in a number of cases and if carried out on a large scale would soon solve the problem which confronts every state institution in the land. When the medical profession becomes willing to devote more attention to the psychical side for causes more rapid progress will be made in the treatment and cure of insanity. Unclean Fly Our Worst Enemy By L. W. PACKARD The fly by its nature is a filthy thing. The fly is born in filth, feeds upon filth and takes naturally to filth. Then he enters our homes and promenades upon our meats, our fruits, our bread; he falls into coffee, he gets into our milk, he gets into our sugar bowl. He leaves the bacteria of a dozen or more diseases on and in the food we eat. To prove this, catch a half-dozen flies and put them under a microscope. There you may see the bacilli. To prove them dangerous bacilli take them to some medical laboratory and you will find the truth of my statement. The common house fly is the worst enemy we have and our landlords should be compelled to screen the doors and windows of his houses and flats to protect the tenants.

No discounts allowed on less than three months' contract. Cash must accompany all orders from parties unknown to us. Further particulars on application THE GREATEST PROBLEM People disagree seriously regarding the comparative importance of matters and things engaging the minds of men in the forward march of civilization; those things considered pre-eminent and vital by some, being almost entirely ignored or given but passing notice by others, who themselves are absorbed with problems of far greater importance to them. It is from an individual or a clannish standpoint that most men consider the affairs of life, without caring to go deep into the fundamentals upon which continued success and happiness must be founded. Matters of selfish importance are often pushed into greater prominence than other matters, of wider application and greater virtue, are permitted to attain, because the power concentrated behind them is greedy for its own enlargement and unmindful of evil influences or the inexorable laws of natural adjustment. The success of the individual is often declared to be the best indication of the possibilities of the many, and the prosperity of many is likewise made to appear as an exemplification of the well-being of all. So in this free government of vast and complicated interests, it is easy for statesmen to see the country's good in the advancement of one or more of those interests even while others of greater fundamental importance, are neglected. Industrialism and commercialism are the all-absorbing twin motives of governing directorates throughout the world in this age, and moral and social advancement wait upon the recognition and glorification of their younger sisters. Social and moral questions are no longer popular in politics. Those which formerly made political parties powerful or ignominious are now mere platform reminiscences. Labor questions, assuming to fill the gap, are made to create but a false division of sentiment and cut but a sorry figure in all great political contests. Commercialism is powerful enough to divide the labor vote, and lesser social forces dwindle to numbers too small for division. The pleas of the moralist and the sentimentalist are as vain as are appeals to a wooden Joss. The greatest problem with which we have to contend, as a people professing freedom and individual sovereignty, is how to bring the country back to its first principles which were declared to be based upon the right of every man to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." PRAYER IN THE PRIZE FIGHT. Echoes of the Reno prize fight are still reverberating on the circumambient air. And where the air is thickest with tobacco smoke the reverent silence of the gladiatorial throng is still unbroken. The echoes, therefore, have an unchallenged monopoly of the sounding board, and the most important of them which has found notice and irreverent treatment in the columns of the daily press, has to do with the religious side of the original contest. For it now transpires that the church was interested in that fight as it has never been interested in another similar contest since the days of David and Goliath. Prayer, silent, fervent, reiterated prayer, flowed from the lips of holy men, not that the fight might be stopped, but that Johnson might win. Venerable Bishop Tanner, of the A. M. E. church, one of the most learned and refined of our religious leaders, and, after him, scores of Negro ministers throughout the country, have confessed that they asked this favorable disposition of the affray by the hand of the Almighty. 'If anybody prayed that Jeffries might win, nobody except his heart-tormented old father, who is also a minister, but who never wanted his son to fight, has had the hardihood to admit it. The press speaks cynically but not with open ridicule of these prayer-armed disciples, for the latter make it plain that they prayed not as champions of Johnson's personal pugilistic fortunes, neither as revilers of Jeffries, but as humble and loyal advocates of the righteous cause of the Negro race, whose intrinsic moral and physical worth as men in comparison with other men, was made an unholy and unrighteous issue through this fight. It is fair to suspect that many a white preacher who is now opposing the exhibition of the moving pictures of the fight secretly nursed this disparaging belief regarding the Negro, for the sinful hope was world-wide among them who are vain and jealous of the white man's Godless power. It may not yet be clear that the Lord takes any account of a prize fight or ordains its outcome, yet His favor is faithfully sought as the eternal arbiter of wars, the banisher of pestilence and the infallible guardian of the destines of races and of nations. He had no need to be in Jack Johnson's corner at Reno, but, if Christian principles are consistent, He used that dumb, unregenerated instrumentality to save a tender sprout of the human family from the demoralizing sting and shock of a poison-laden giant. "The prayers of the righteous availeth much," for righteousness' sake, not merely for pugilistic triumphs. MERSON said: "The crowning fortune of a man is to be born with a bias to some pursuit which finds him in employment and happiness." E The business which we love is the one to which we go with delight. No man can struggle victoriously against his own character, and the man who tries to do anything else than that for which nature intended him will be worse than nothing. Many of the world's most successful men have failed in several pursuits before they finally discovered the bent of their genius. Goldsmith failed as a physician, but became immortal in historian, an eloquent orator, or a merchant prince, but that with a noble purpose, a high endeavor and a useful end in view you shall make yourself master in your line. M. B. There is a place for everybody, and when a man is on the right track he will know it by the way things run. If you have been boring away in the same hole for years without striking oil, either your auger is too short or you are in the wrong hole. When a man has found his true calling he will not find nature putting any barriers in his path. In the right place you will be resourceful and happy, you will expand and grow and be at least comparatively successful. Eminent alienists agree that clinics reveal nothing of the causes of insanity. Dr. W. M. Coplin, director of the bureau of health and charities, Philadelphia, says: "Insanity in most cases is unaccompanied by any perceptible change in the brain structure. The brain of the patient, when examined under a microscope, shows absolutely nothing which differs in any way from the appearance of the brain of a perfectly sound person." Dr. A. W. Campbell, another authority, says: "Insanity neither affects nor disarranges the brain structurally." Is there on law or any feature of our sanitary laws that will compel landlords to provide screens for the doors and windows of houses and flats to protect their tenants from the worst enemy we have—the common house fly? The egg of the fly is laid in filth, hatched in filth, and the parasite feeds upon filth until it is able to fly and enter our homes and deposit its germs. It is scientifically proved that the common house fly is the cause of more fatal disease than any other thing we contend with. --- HARDWARE AND SPORTING GOODS 1648 to 1654 Arapahoe Street, Denver REMODELING SALE The Carson Crockery Company Denver's Largest Exclusive China Store If it is a GENUINE BARGAIN you are after, you must come and see for yourself as we are offering China, Classware, Silverware, Etc., at prices that will astonish you.

Following is the biography of Mrs, Mosby. Mrs, R, W. Mosby was born in Virginia April 12, 1829, and went to Cin- cinnati when three years old. Later years Mrs. Mosby lived in Detroit and Milwaukee, Wisconsin, then in Chicago, where she married George Smith Unto them’ were born two children. In 1862 she married Augustus Mosby in Chicago, and for many years she was a solo singer in Olivet Baptist chureh, und was also a music teacher in that city. . She was often spoken of as the twin to the great singer who was known as the “Black Swan of the West.” Mrs. Mosby came to Denyer forty-two years ago, went in Zion Baptist church, and established the choir and was leader for twenty years. She kept the boys and girls together, having them at her home every Friday evening at singing school, charging them nothing. She labored long in Zion with sew- ing circles and concerts, and the young people always stood by her. No one ever knew her to get angry. She had a sweet disposition and no end to her patience, Many would go to her for counsel and after talking with her would ome away’ benefited. Mrs. Mosby was the first matron of Queen Elizabeth Court, which was organized in 1876, and for years she has stood well in dif- ferent societies, and last but not least a member of the church for over sixty years. Mrs, Mosby nursed Mr. Mosby until she herself became unable td do for him or herself. And for awhile her many friends thought she would pull through bravely, but at last the reaction came, although everything was done for her, but her time had come and God called his beloved one home.

Let honor go where honor’s due, All hail the champion through ’ an¢ through; Make loud’ acclaim with fife an‘ drums, For Jack the mighty hero comes. A double champion, by the way, With none to doubt his right to sway; The “White man’s hope alack alas, Proved but a farce, a bag of gas. Why Jeff's head was never rocked. His knock-out punch was never blocked: And take the count, what silly trash, The White man’s hope, why none could thrash. How on the “White Man’s Hope” they dote, His “mug” will sure get Johnson's goat; But when he lands on Jack's poor beak ‘Twill surely find that yellow streak. ‘That yellow streak did but beguile, It proved to be the “Golden Smile;” ‘The smile that would not fade away, Like Jeffrey Frost, Independence day. Now Johnson he’s a fakir right, ‘They all knew that he'd throw the fight; And lay down to this bu-ga-boo, Yes, show his yellow quite a few. He showed the yellow, yes that’s true, It was pure gold, clean through and through; ‘The kind that brings the bacon home, And all the trimmings but the foam. Well, it's over now, the die is cast, And Jee the champion first and ast; Jim sure was trimmed to a perfect frazzle, Jack wears the belt of many a dazzle.

Overwork, colds, strains, etc., weaken the kidneys and the whole body suffers. Don't neglect the slightest kidney ailment. Begin using Doan's Kidney Pills at once. They are especially for sick kidneys. Gerry Picture tells it Story Ted Hiatt, Oswego, Kans., says: "For many years I suffered from kidney disorders. I was treated by specialists in Kansas City and Chicago, was told I had an abscess of the kidneys and an operation was advised. I thereupon began the use of Doan's Kidney Pills and gradually improved. Soon an operation was unnecessary as my kidneys were well." Remember the name—Doan's. For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box.

"The public conscience is now being awakened upon this aspect of public morality. Last week I was invited to take part in a meeting organized by men who are not directly connected with any Christian church, but who are sincerely desirous of assisting in the reformation of their countrymen. Their purpose was to start an antigambling league, and with this in mind they called a public meeting, which was attended by some hundreds of Chinese scholars and business men, and resolutions were passed in approved public meeting style, approving of a campaign against the gambling vice. Members of the Chinese Young Men's Christian association were asked to assist in the meeting, and to demonstrate by the means of games the possibility of recreation without vice. Suitable addresses were given by prominent Chinese, and the chief organizer of the movement is one of the government education inspectors for the provinces of Kiangsu and Kiangsi. A Chinese Roman Catholic teacher gave a violin solo, a Chinese secretary of the Young Mens' Christian association rendered two cornet solos, and a Protestant missionary sang to the gathering. The whole meeting was conducted in so orderly and orthodox a fashion that it was scarcely possible to realize how tremendous a reformation in the whole Chinese outlook upon public life this meeting revealed. Twenty years, even ten years, ago such a meeting would not have been within the realm of possibility. Today we have a chass of public moralists arising who have undoubtedly learned from Christianity in their midst the ideals which they are desirous of impressing upon their countrymen."

WASHINGTON GOSSIP Uncle Sam Probes Third Degree System "Corpse" Aroused by Noise, Runs Away Sold MacVeagh Spoiled Vinegar; Fined Sold MacVeagh Spoiled Vinegar; Fined Government's O. K. on the Lowly Toad Government's O. K. on the Lowly Toad HOW DO YOU LIKE THE THIRD? WASHINGTON.—One of the investigating committees set in motion at the late session of congress that is expected to yield some interesting results is the subcommittee of five senators, members of the judiciary committee, who have been directed to investigate and report on the workings of the "third degree," as exemplified by federal officers in criminal prosecutions. The investigation will take a wide range. One member of the committee will be sent to Oklahoma to learn what basis there is for the charge made by Gov. Haskell and his friends, that the prosecutions started against him under the Roosevelt administration were inspired by personal malice, and that the methods resorted to by the special agents of the government in their efforts to convict Haskell, were discreditable. Another branch of the investigation will relate to some of the western prosecutions, especially those conducted by Robert Kay Devlin, as United States attorney for the Northern district of California. Devlih's nomination was hung up in the judiciary committee of the senate for a long time, on a complaint that he had "THERE'S a dead man in that alley." This exclamation by an excited colored man at Eleventh and E streets, in Washington, caused considerable consternation among pedestrians and loungers in that vicinity a few days ago. He pointed to a narrow alleyway on the north side of E street between Eleven and Twelfth streets, between two buildings. Pretty soon the mouth of the little alley was blocked by curious people. A business man in the neighborhood who peered over the heads of the morbid crowd and saw a man stretched out full length, and apparently very ill or dead, in the alleyway, telephoned to the Emergency hospital for an ambulance. Other men ran hither and thither in search of a policeman. "He may be drunk," suggested an old man as he gazed at the prostrate form. ILL NEVER 'DULIERATE NOTHIN' AGIN. YER HONOR HONOS' JAMES WILSON, secretary of agriculture, has been hot-footing it after a Chicago man who had the temerity to sell Franklin MacVeagh, secretary of the treasury, a barrel of bogus vinegar. MacVeagh bought the vinegar believing it was the reak thing, the kind that father used to make on the farm, fit to put on lettuce and pickle pigs' feet with and all that sort of thing. The looks and smell of the stuff made him suspicious, and so he hallowed for the pure food inspectors to come and examine. They reported the alleged vinegar was in reality adulterated and artificially colored and misbranded. A criminal information was filed against the luckless storekeeper and he was taken into the United States court, accused of deceiving and misleading MacVeagh. UNCLE SAM KNOWS WHAT I AM WORTH ALRIGHT A RECENT bulletin of the department of agriculture in Washington has taken up the case of the toad, dispelling the "host of vague and ludicrous fancies as to its venomous qualities. Its medicinal virtues, or most commonly, the hidden toadstone of priceless value." Touching toads, says the bulletin, does not produce warts on the hands. The toad's breath does not cause convulsions in children, nor does a toad in a newly dug well insure a good and unfailing water supply, nor in a new made cellar will one bring prosperity to the household. The Massachusetts experiment station has been investigating the habits, food and economic value of the toad, and the result establishes its persecuted Dr. Perrin, one of the defendants in certain land-fraud cases, who, after being indicted, was finally discharged for want of evidence. A special agent of the department of justice sent out to investigate the charge made a written report that Dr. Perrin should never have been indicted; that improper methods were employed to bring about his indictment, and even after the government officers were aware that they could not make a case against Dr. Perrin, the indictment was allowed to hang over his head for many months, to his great personal detriment. The methods of Francis J. Honey and Detective Burns may be inquired into, and it is not unlikely that some attention may be given to the charge made against the method of administering the criminal laws in Alaska, especially at Juneau, where the United States attorney and United States marshal were recently removed from office on the complaint of Gov. Walter E. Clark. The resolution directing an Investigation was offered by Senator Heyburn of Idaho, and was based upon reports in newspapers of the police methods employed in the Sayler murder case at Atlantic City. That case was not one with which the federal government had to do, but, in as much as the methods complained of may infringe the constitutional guarantees of the individual citizen, the committee feels that it has jurisdiction, and that case along with others complained of will be investigated. "No," another man declared, "I reckon it is a case of heat prostration." "I think he's just dreamin' about Jack Johnson's victory," said a third. In the meantime the Emergency hospital ambulance with clanging gong arrived on the scene, and a policeman with perspiration streaming down his face rushed up to the mouth of the alley and was forcing his way through the crowd to get at the supposed dead man. The noise aroused the "corpse." The prostrate figure slowly arose, disclosing the stalwart form of a negro. He gazed in astonishment at the crowd that blocked up the entrance to the alley and saw the policeman and white-coated Emergency surgeon elbowing their way toward him. With a yawn and a stretch of his arms, the negro darted into the side door of a printing office, slamming the door behind him. Investigation disclosed the fact that the negro has been employed at the printing establishment a number of years. He said he was tired and went out into the quiet, cool alleyway to take a nap during the lunch hour. That was all. The man pleaded guilty and was fined $25. He promised to be good. A Buffalo milling concern has been fined for mixing ground corncobs with flour middlings. The same concern was also found guilty of putting ground corncobs in a "gluten" preparation. A lot of "raisins," shipped from California to Texas, was discovered to be in part a decomposed vegetable substance. A Chicago firm selling a "quick-rising" buckwheat flour has been fined for fraud in having sold in reality a mixture of wheat flour and buckwheat without any quick-rising properties. Another Buffalo dealer was caught selling to Michigan folk a wonderful "hair tonic" which was advertised to cure headache and loss of hair and all sorts of thins. Analysis showed it contained 98.5 per cent. of alcohol and nothing to cure anything. The dealer was let off with a fine. A Michigan man was detected selling in large quantities a "hay fever cure" composed of 99.95 per cent. cocaine hydocloride. He was fired $100. Several lemon extracts and vanilla extract fakers have been recently caught and punished. claim to consideration and appreciation. First of all, as to the longevity of the toad, the investigators express the opinion that many toads reach an age of at least ten or fifteen years. They also believe it possible for the toad to live for a limited time without food, but doubt stories about toads being found in rocks and trees. "The toad," says the pamphlet, "is a nocturnal animal, and ventures out during the day only when tempted by an abundance of food or when the air and moving insects, centipeds, etc. At is full of moisture. It eats only living night, soon after sundown, or even before on cool evenings. It emerges from its shelter and slowly hops about in search of food. Almost a regular beat is coveted. In the country this includes forays along roadsides, into gardens and cultivated fields and wherever insect food is abundant and grass or other thick herbage does not prevent locomotion. In cities and suburban villages the lawns, walks and particularly the spots beneath electric lamps are favorite hunting grounds. EXCELLENT BUTTER CAKES Instructions That Will Enable the Cook to Prepare These the Most Appetizing Way. Sift together three cups of flour, four and a half level teaspoonfuls of baking powder and three-quarters of a level teaspoonful of salt. Rub into this two tablespoonfuls of butter until the flour looks and feels mealy, then add one and one-half ounces of milk, and beat for a moment to a smooth dough. Have a coarse linen or canvas cover for your molding board and a woven cover for the rolling pin. Turn the dough out on a well-floured cloth and toss into a ball with a knife. Slip the cover over the pin and rub it full of flour, then roll out the dough with light pats. This should be moist, so it will stick to anything but the well-floured canvas. It must not be touched with the hands except when the cakes are laid on the griddle. Roll the dough out into an even sheet, about three quarters of an inch thick, cut out with a biscuit cutter and bake on a granite griddle, leaving them far enough apart so they will not stick. The fire should not be too hot. When the cakes puff up to double their size, turn and bake on the other side. Have a second batch baking while the first is being eaten, like griddle cakes. Serve hot, so the butter will melt at once when the cakes are split and the butter is spread between them. Labor Saving Cleanser The labor of housework may be materially lessened and better results obtained by the use of kerosene instead of soap, powder or polisher. It is a foe to soil and grime, which disappear under its use as if by magic. To Wash Windows—Add one-half cupful of kerosene to a gallon of cold or tepid water. Wash with one cloth, wipe dry with a second, and then rub lightly with a third. The result will be windows of a brilliancy and transparency not to be obtained by any other means. Mirrors and chandelier globes may be treated in the same manner. To Polish Hardwood Floors and Woodwork—Wipe the surface with a cloth slightly dampened with kerosene, then rub lightly with an old soft cloth. To Whiten Clothes—Three tablespoonfuls of kerosene added to the clothes while boiling makes an excellent bleach. Care must be taken to use only hot water for rinsing and bluing the clothes after the use of kerosene. This cleanser has the additional value of being excellent for the hands, both softening and whitening them. Ice Cream Cake Whites of five eggs, one and one-half cups fine granulated sugar, one-half cup of butter, one cup sweet milk, one teaspoon cream of tartar, one-half teaspoon soda, three cups sifted flour. Color one-half of the mixture pink with strawberry coloring and flavor with vanilla. Flavor the white part with lemon. Bake slowly in a brick loaf tin, putting the white dough in first and the pink dough on top. Forty minutes is about the right time. Try with a straw and take out as soon as done or the colors will not keep their color otherwise. Turn on a board and frost with a white icing. Color one-half of it pink. Spread the pink icing on the white part and then the white icing on the pink part and cover with a chocolate glaze made by melting one and one-half squares unsweetened chocolate. Do not stir, and when melted spread over frosting. Surprise Cake. Make a plain white cake of one cupful of sugar, one-half of butter, two cupfuls of flour sifted with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, and add at last the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs, one-half teaspoonful of vanilla. Bake in flat pan. In each square press a chocolate cream before frosting with the yolks of two eggs beaten and stiffened with powdered sugar and flavored with vanilla. Green Pea Salad. Boil green peas until tender; when done, drain on a sieve and let them get cold. Rub a salad bowl with a clove of garlic, arrange the peas with some cooked beans neatly in the bowl, and garnish with rings of hard boiled eggs, rounds of cooked sliced beets, and parsley. If the flavor of onion is liked, one finely chopped shallot may be mixed with this salad. Serve with French dressing. Oatmeal Cakes. Cupful of butter or one-half lard and one-half butter, one cupful of sugar, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, one cupful of sour milk, one level teaspoonful of soda, one egg, one cupful of raisins and mixed currants, two cupfuls of cracked oats, two cupfuls of flour. Drop on pans about size of walnut an inch apart. If sweet milk is used use two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. These have a nutty flavor. Omelet With Calf's Brains In serving an omelet with calf's brains parboil the latter in salted water, adding a clove, slice of onion and a bay leaf. Chill, cut into dice, dip in egg and crumbs, fry in deep fat and serve round the omelet. Cheese Balls. Beat the whites of two eggs stiff. Have ready one-half cupful of finely grated cheese. Mix cheese and beaten eggs quickly, mold into balls with floured hands, and fry in hot fat Serve while hot. Papa—Why can't we see the moon in the daytime?

SHE RECOGNIZED THE VOICE And From Remark Made, Also Knew the Party Was Not Engaged in Prayer. Confidential friends of Louis B. Shields are telling this story about that eminent Republican: A state convention at Columbus had just adjourned and the Cuyahoga county delegates were all back home when somebody suggested a friendly game of poker. The game was going along right merrily at three a. m. At that hour an officious attendant called up Mr. Shields' residence, which happened to be almost next door. "This is long distance," said the servant with no warrant of authority whatever. "We are all here in Columbus and can't get home until morning." "That's all right," came back the reply, "but if that voice I hear in the apartment house next door saying 'that's good' isn't Mr. Shields' then I can't recognize a voice when I hear it at night." And that is the end of the story, for the voice saying "that's good" was indeed that of Mr. Shields, and it was so near home, so the narrator relates, that there was no use in offering a denial—Cleveland Leader. Incorruptible. The lady of the house hesitated "Are my answers all right?" she asked. "Yes, madam," replied the census man. "Didn't bother you a bit, did I?" "No, madam." "Feel under some obligations to me, don't you?" "Yes, madam." "Then, perhaps you won't mind telling me how old the woman next door claims to be?" "Good day, madam," said the census man. Awfully Busy. Jim—A stitch in time saves nine. Tom—Who said that? Jim—Gee! Ain't you read your Bible? Tom—Nope; I ain't even had time to read the sporting page this morning yet.—Cleveland Leader. HARD TO PLEASE Regarding the Morning Cup. "Oh how hard it was to part with coffee, but the continued trouble with constipation and belching was such that I finally brought myself to leave it off. "Then the question was, what should we use for the morning drink? Tea was worse for us than coffee; chocolate and cocoa were soon tired of; milk was not liked very well, and hot water we could not endure. "About two years ago we struck upon Postum and have never been without it since. "We have seven children. Our baby now eighteen months old would not take milk, so we tried Postum and found she liked it and it agreed with her perfectly. She is today, and has been, one of the healthiest babies in the State. "I use about two-thirds Postum and one-third milk and a teaspoon of sugar, and put it into her bottle. If you could have seen her eyes sparkle and hear her say "good" today when I gave it to her, you would believe me that she likes it. "If I was matron of an infants' home, every child would be raised on Postum. Many of my friends say, 'You are looking so well!' I reply, 'I am well: I drink Postum. I have no more trouble with constipation, and know that I owe my good health to God and Postum.' "I am writing this letter because I want to tell you how much good Postum has done us, but if you knew how I shrink from publicity, you would not publish this letter, at least not over my name."

Couldn't Use It. He doesn't seem to be a practical man." "No, and he hasn't the least bit of faith in himself. He is always building castles in Spain, and yet when I tried to get him to study Spanish he turned up his nose."

SLEEPING IN THE OPEN AIR Useful Book With Full Directions Given Away by Philanthropic Association. ```markdown ``` "Direction for Living and Sleeping in the Open Air," is the title of a pamphlet being sent out by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis to its local representatives in all parts of the United States. The pamphlet is meant to be a handbook of information for anybody who desires to sleep out of doors in his own home. It emphasizes the fact that outdoor sleeping is as desirable for the well as for sick. The booklet will be sent free of charge to any one applying for it at the headquarters of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis in New York, or to the secretary of any local or state antituberculosis association. Some of the subjects of which the pamphlet treats are, how to take the open-air treatment in a tenement house; how to build a small shack or cabin on a flat roof in the city; how to make one comfortable while sleeping outdoors either in hot or cold weather; how to arrange a porch on a country house; and how to build a cheap porch; the construction of tents and tent houses; the kinds of beds and bedding to use in outdoor sleeping, and various other topics. The book is well illustrated and attractively prepared. Truth is cut up to patch too many lies. You can never boil the lies back into truth again.

Best results If afflicted with i sore eyes, use i Thompson's Eye Water OF THE OLD SCHOOL OF THE OLD SCHOOL TWO SOUTHERN SENATORS WHO HAVE RECENTLY DIED. Daniel of Virginia and McEnery of Louisiana, Strong Men of the South, and Known In Washington as Being Unchangeable. John Warwick Daniel of Virginia and Samuel Douglas McEnergy of Louisiana, United States senators, who died recently, were known in Washington as being of the old southern school of thought, unchanged and unchangeable. U.S. CAPITOL For months Senator Daniel made a fight with the disease which finally came off conqueror. It was not the first fift of his life for his life. He was thrice wounded in the Civil war, through which he went to the end, in the army of the Confederacy. Four months previous to his death the attending physicians said that their patient would die within 24 hours. He said he would live and he began the battle which went his way until a second stroke of paralysis came and weakened the vital forces so that they were unable to respond to the will of the old soldier. Senator Daniel always was a conservative. It is true that he was touched with the silver "heresy," but it was the belief of most Virginians that party loyalty and the fixed habit of following the leader were responsible for the espousal of a cause in which neither head nor heart were engaged. Under the floor leadership of others Daniel was one of the men strong in senatorial counsel. He always was consulted and he shaped the course of his party in the upper house on many occasions. He was an engaging speaker who adopted at times the methods which made southern oratory distinct. Daniel under all circumstances was courteous in debate. On only rare occasions would he lose control of himself, and then only when other men would have lost all reason in speech. The Late Senator Daniel. The Virginian unquestionably resented Tillman and some other representatives of the new political order in the south. Once, when the South Carolinian had transgressed in speech, as at one time it was his habit to transgress, Daniel rose and said: "The senator from South Carolina is offensive when he debates with gentlemen." Tillman reddened, struggled with himself a moment, and then—apologized. The Carolinian knew when a rebuke was deserved, and even if it were put into words that carried insinuation and sting he was humble in answer when once the heat had passed. In the Civil war the Virginian was chief of staff to Gen. Jubal A. Early. His third wound was received at the battle of the Wilderness and for the rest of his days he was compelled to walk with crutches. In the corridor off the senate chamber one day Senator Daniel met Gen. Oliver O. Howard, who had lost an arm in battle. Daniel looked at Howard's empty sleeve and said: "I didn't do it." Howard looked down at Daniel's crippled foot and said: "I didn't do it." Daniel said: "If you had done it and I had done it, we would still shake hands." And they shook hands. Senator McEnery served a few months longer than a year of his third term as United States senator from Louisiana. It was the custom to speak of the Louisiana as a Democrat who voted for Republican measures. This was true only in a limited sense, but because the Republican legislation which McEnery favored was in the main of prime national importance the prominence given his defection led to the general belief that he was at all times out of sympathy with his party. Senator Culberson of Texas was the Democratic leader in the senate when the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill was under debate. Like Daniel, McEnery was a soldier of the Confederacy. He was a states' rights Democrat notwithstanding his bolting from the party fold when the greater protection lure was strong. He was a likeable man and his Democratic colleagues did not hold personal rementment because of occasional and temporary voting affiliation with the enemy. "UNCLE JOE" ON ECONOMY Speaker Tells a Bunch of Boys How He Has Lived on 50 Cents a Day. About 100 New York and Philadelphia boys from the Wanamaker Commercial institute were presented to Speaker Cannon in his private room at the Capitol, shortly before congress adjourned, and the speaker in his little talk to these kids told them some things that made them open their eyes, and there isn't a bit of doubt in the world that what Speaker Cannon said will make a whole lot of people open their eyes: "I had to endure the grind when I was a boy, back on the Wabash," sald Mr. Cannon, "just as you boys have to do it today, but I learned then to live within my income, and I have kept up that practise ever since. If you keep within your incomes now you will be able to do it when you are a man, and thus you can save a little for a rainy day." The speaker thine told an interesting story about his own daily routine. How, when his daughter was away and the house was closed, he got his breakfast at a little restaurant across from the treasury. He added: "Five cents for a cup of coffee, five cents more for an egg sandwich, good coffee and a good, clean egg, and as wholesome a roll as you could get anywhere; that makes a cost of 10 cents, but sometimes if I want a little more I buy an orange, and that adds five cents more to the breakfast cost. Now, I am not too proud to get that kind of a breakfast, and I feel better for it, and more able to do the hard day's work that I still have to do than if I had dined at the swellest hotel in the world." How many government clerks who are earning a salary of $900 a year are willing to live as plainly as Uncle Joe does? You will find more of them spending 50 cents for breakfast, 25 cents for lunch and $1 for dinner than you will find living on 50 cents a day, as "Uncle Joe" said he did for many years. GUARD FOR THE MONEY VAN Seven Million Dollars in Cash and Stamps Transferred Daily From the Engraving Bureau. Washingtonians were recently treated to a new sight and they are pretty well used to sights too. It is the newly organized "money guard." There is a brand new, great big, shiny black van; in fact, it looks like a Black Maria, but is specially designed to transport the millions of stamps and money from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to the treasury. It is so wide that seven men can sit abreast on a seat at the near outside, and they look like a young arsenal when they perch themselves up there for a trip. Behind them, on a full-blooded horse, rides Director Ralph himself, and all clad in brand-new bright uniforms with their white caps, they are a gorgeous-looking lot. Peter R. Kelly mounted on a fast horse pilots the van from the bureau of engraving and printing to the treasury department. Every man of the van guard has been sworn in as a special policeman and will wear the silver shield. The vehicle which is to be so thoroughly guarded in the future carries daily to the treasury $7,000,000 in bank notes, certificates and stamps. Of this amount $3,000,000 is in silver certificates, $2,000,000 in national bank notes, $1,500,000 in postage stamps and $500,000 in internal revenue stamps. Washington Spreading Out. Two-thirds of the increase in tax assessment of real property in Montgomery county, Md., in the past year is attributed to the growth of Washington, which has passed the bounds of the District and gone over into the adjoining territory of Maryland. The returns of the assessed value of property in Montgomery county show a total increase of over $600,000, as compared with that of the preceding year. Two-thirds comes from the appreciation in the value of property in the Bethesda and Wheaton districts, the former comprising the territory along the Rockville road and the latter that along what is the maryland extension of Georgia avenue. In both of these sections in the past year there has been a good deal of building, and for the most part to meet the demands that came from people whose business and other interests are in Washington, who wanted homes in those localities. In consequence, houses have been put up, farm lands have been laid off into building sites and these changes are reflected naturally in the enhanced values in the books of the tax assessors. Capital Wants Convention. To concentrate all their efforts to secure the 1912 convention of the grand sovereign lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, local members have abandoned the idea of obtaining the 1911 convention. Last year tentative plans were made to obtain the convention in 1911. This year's convention will assemble in Atlanta. Ga., next September and the Washington delegates had intended to make a strong fight for the next convention. The grand lodge has never met in Washington. The Washington members, 200 strong, will make the journey to Atlanta in the fall, however, and will impress it upon the convention that Washington has withdrawn from the race this year in order to insure this city the convention in 1912. "Is not auto driving terribly hard on the eyes?" we asked. "Well, I guess not," replied the chauffeur, withering us with scorn. "Why, before I got to runnin' a car I was thinkin' o gettin' specks, my eyesight was that poor I couldn't see the contribution box in church until it was so near past me it was too late to dig for any money. But I hadn't been runnin' that wagon two days till I could see a policeman's little finger stickin' out from behind a tree four miles away. I could even see which way a copper's eyeballs were turned if he was standin' in the shade three miles off. Hard on the eyes! Well, not much! It's the best medicine for weak eyes that was ever invented, don't you forget it." At a social gathering a cert.in man, intent on knowing every one, was introduced to Senator Julius C. Burrows of Michigan. "The name Burrows is very familiar to me," he said. "I am certain that you are a man of some prominence." "Yes," replied Senator Burrows, "I am the man that 'died at first' just before Casey came to bat in that celebrated ball game in Mudville."—Success Magazine. "Of course, you know the story of William Tell," said the serious citizen. "To tell you the truth," replied Mr. Cumrox. "I'm not clear about him. I can't exactly remember whether he was a great marksman or a famous opera singer." Him—I was confused for a bit, I confess, but it took me only a moment to collect my wits— Her—Yes, it couldn't take any longer than that.

For preserving the hands as well is for preventing redness, roughness, and chapping, and imparting that velvety softness and whiteness much desired by women Cuticura Soap, assisted by Cuticura Ointment, is believed to be superior to all other skin soaps. For those who work in corrosive liquids, or at occupations which tend to injure the hands, it is invaluable. Treatment—Bathe and soak the hands on retiring in a strong, hot, creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry and anoint freely with Cuticura Ointment, and in severe cases spread the Cuticura Ointment on thin pieces of old linen or cotton. Wear during the night old, loose gloves, or a light bandage of old cotton or linen to protect the clothing from stain. For red, rough, and chapped hands, dry, fissured, itching, feverish palms, and shapeless nails with painful finger ends, this treatment is most effective. Cuticura Remedies are sold throughout the world. Potter Drug & Chem. Corp., sole proprietors, Boston, Mass. The Stomach Hold. Col. H. N.

Hints For Hostess TIMELY SUGGESTIONS for Those Planning Seasonable Entertainments What does that name recall to your mind? Visions of spiders, ants, toads and other horrid insects not invited? Piles of cake, with only enough bread to go around once—the salt forgotten—so the hard boiled eggs were a "drug in the market." The coffee bottle leaked—so half the quantity was wasted and you went home hungry declaring it was the last picnic you would ever go to. Well—plenics can be made most delightful. First of all the party must be thoroughly congenial, all well acquainted, even one stranger is apt to make things somewhat formal, but of course this all will depend on the person. Ten or twelve is a good number. The place to go to must not be too far away and if possible should be near water—if only a small stream. The girls should meet and decide upon the lunch—each one knowing definitely what they are to furnish. One will bring the sandwiches, another the cake, pickles, olives, cheese, crackers and jelly, with sugar for coffee and salt being divided between two more. Potatoes to roast and butter falling to another. Corn if in season makes an agreeable addition. To one may fall the responsibility of seeing that the dishes, coffee pot and table linen are provided. All these little items are carefully talked over. Paper napkins can be used and plates for each one cut out of white stiff paper, with quotations written around If liked, smaller plates can be made for butter. Small pieces of soft paper should also be provided with which to hold the potato, for they are to be roasted. To the girl who furnishes the sandwiches I will tell her just how. Get a can of corn beef, remove any gristle, chop very fine, then make a dressing, like for cabbage salad. One egg, lump of butter, salt, pepper and mustard, with one cup of vinegar, diluted with water if too strong, is a good rule, boll until it thickens, being careful not to let it curdle; pour this over the meat and mix thoroughly with a spoon. The bread must not be too fresh, but not dry. Cut in thin slices, spread with butter, then the meat. Cut off the crust or not, as you like. Toook pretty, these sandwiches can be tied with ribbons in piles of a dozen, pack in a covered paste board box which can be thrown away, saving one basket to carry home. The hard boiled eggs can be left in the shell and each one ornamented with a quotation, or taken out of the shell and wrapped in tissue paper. Cabbage or salmon salad or any kind that is liked can be made and carried in a glass fruit jar. The small dainty pieces of celery are nice if the distance is not far so they will keep fresh, but if the pieces are wrapped in wet paper, then a napkin or a towel put around them they will be found very nice and crisp. Lettuce sandwiches are appetizing if made properly. Use only the small tender leaves, place with a dash or salad dressing between two thin slices of bread. The can opener and an olive fork must not be forgotten, although a hat pin has been made to serve very well for the latter. Some like radishes, Girls' Dresses Some Girl Some Girls' Dresses L. THE first is a simple sailor dress suitable for either linen or serge. the plain skirt is turned up with a deep hem; the blouse is slipped over the head, therefore no fastening is necessary; white drill or linen collar and cuffs are worn.

Supposing the boys furnish the conveyance and driver. Each one must be ready when the wagonnette arrives. The baskets are snugly stored away and the merry party start. After arriving the fire should be built and when it is one mass of red coals, take the potatoes, put each one deep down under and each ear of corn unhusked. It will take about forty minutes to cook these properly. Meanwhile the table is prepared and when all is ready, not one thing is found missing. People never know what there is in a potato till they have eaten one roasted, with salt and butter. After the baskets have all been repacked with the little that is left dishes, spoons and jars returned to their proper owners, comes the camp fire, around which they all gather songs and stories told, till the stars and moon illumine the sky and all are reminded that plenics must end. To start at three or four in the afternoon gives ample time, providing the distance is not great, which should not be the case. Generally the mistake is made of going too far and staying too long and having a large party. Fruits, such as bananas, cherries plums and apples make a welcome addition. A Conundrum Tea. Of all the novel and interesting ways of entertaining one's guests I think the Conundrum Tea party took the beat, for one given recently was the talk of the town, for several days after its occurrence. The guests were 26 in number, filling two tables and as two sisters were the hostesses, one presided at each table. Everything in the way of china and floral decorations were simply perfect. At each place was found a card with the name of the person who was to occupy the chair, but besides the name, there was a conundrum. Each guest had the privilege of guessing her own first and if she failed it was passed on to the next person. The one who guessed the largest number of conundrums received the first prize and the one who answered the least received the "consolation" prize. There were prizes provided for each table. I can assure you there was no lack of conversation. After tea, the prizes were distributed, games were played and from the lateness of the hour when the guests departed I am sure every one had a delightful time.
