THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY "Successful Poultry Raising" The Subject of the Paper read by Walter C. Bell of Anacosta, Md., before the National Negro Business League held in New York recently. VOL. XVII. "Success Poultry The Subject of the Paper read costa, Md., before the Nation held in New Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen. I have been invited here to try and tell you how I have made poultry pay. A few years ago, there was so much talk of the fortunes being made by raising chickens, that I began to think of the possibilities of such a business. I started to learn everything about the one thing that we love so well—the chicken. (Laughter.) I began by reading everything that I could get on the subject; every book that I saw advertised I would buy; I got all of the government bulletins and experiment station works that I could get, and all the information that I could get from any dealer that I chanced to come across. In fact, I did nothing but think, walk, talk, dream and even eat chicken when I was able to buy one. In fact, I had "chicken on the brain." (Laughter.) So I decided to see if I could not get something out of chicken beside thought, and that something was money. We were very ambitious to succeed, that is, my wife and myself. She had now become as big a chicken crank as I. We had very little money to start with. It is true that I was getting a small salary that was hardly enough to keep the wolf from the door. Anyhow, we made up our minds to try and see what we could do. We had saved a few dollars, so I started to see if I could find a place where chickens could be raised. When you have an idea of the price of property around Washington, you will know that my task was no easy one. While looking for a place, I used up every spare moment of my time, but that hunt was an education to me in every way, because I came in contact with farmers of every description, and in that way, I learned many things that I was very anxious to learn. At last I found a place that suited me, but when I tell you that it had not been worked for twenty years, you will see what a task I had before me. The place was beautifully situated at a corner of two roads, facing the main road that leads to the city. But what a sight to behold there was the old house ready to fall to the ground, the place all grown in weeds and underbrush; there was one redeeming feature; in front of that old house, were two of the finest maple trees you could find for miles around. The old well had caved in, and there was no water on the place. Our friends said that we were going there to starve, but my wife said that "we can make it," and I will leave it to your judgment, after you have heard this paper, as to whether we succeeded or not. The first thing that we did was to try and fix a place to live in, and when I tell you that we built as nice and cozy a little home as any one would desire, you will see how well we succeeded. After finishing the house, we started in to clean up the place. It was the hardest job that I ever had or want to undertake again. I was up early in the mornings, worked until three o'clock in the afternoon, then walked one mile to the cars, rode seven miles on the cars to work, worked until twelve o'clock at night, then rode seven miles back again. We had no horse, and of course, I had to be horse and wagon also. Many a night you could see me tugging along that mile of road with a load upon my back. At last we succeeded in getting the place cleared and started in to get ready to raise our chickens, but what little money we had was all gone, we needed hen-houses incubators, brooders and many other things, but had no money to get them. But my wife said, "we can do it," that pharse became our motto, and has been ever since. We bought a second-hand incubator for six dollars and a hundred eggs for seven dollars—that was our start. We now had the machine and the eggs and no place to put them, so we decided to start the machine in our parlor. We gave the machine every attention that it needed, and on the nineteenth day, our first hatch began piping. My wife was like a child with a new plaything. I could not keep her away from the machine. Up to bed time that night no chickens had been hatched; we then went to bed—I to sleep; but she was too excited to sleep. I do not know why, but about three o'clock that morning I awoke to find my wife gone. I called and received no answer. I jumped out of the bed and started downstairs when suddenly, I saw a light. There she was sitting upon the floor, holding up her hands for me to keep silent and come and see what she had found. I also became excited and rushed to see what had gone wrong, and what do you think I found? A machine full of the whitest, prettiest, downy little chicks that I had even seen. Our first hatch had been a success (Applause.) The weather had been very bad and the snow very deep. I did not have a brooder and could not get out of doors to make one; we got some window screens and divided off a corner in our kitchen and covered the floor with newspapers and started to raise our chickens. By the time they were two weeks old, it was so that I could work out of doors again. I got a piano box and made a brooder and it raised the chickens as good as any that I have since owned. We had as many as eight of them going before the season was over. We raised quite a number of chickens that year—the people had never seen them raised that way before, and they came to see us by the dozens. That fall we had about 250 or 300 of the finest white Wyandotte pullets that you have ever seen. My wife and I started to build a house for them; she would drive a nail mash her finger, cry a little and keep right on working. (Laughter and Applause.) At last, we had the home finished; it DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8 1910. was twenty feet long, twenty feet wide, with an open front. The pullets began laying about October 1st. We let a few people have a few eggs, and after that, we could not keep an egg for ourselves. The next year, we were able to build another long house, fifty feet long, that would hold 300 more birds. That year we sold eggs for hatching, broilers and eggs and the table and could not think of supplying the trade. The next year, we still increased our stock and had to build two more long houses and an incubator and brooder house, with a hatching and brooding capacity of a thousand chickens. At the beginning of my third year in the business, my brother became interested in the business, and we added pigeons to our stock. We now have over one thousand pairs of brooding homers, and sell squabs to the finest trade in the city of Washington, D. C. (Applause.) We have found out that it pays to produce goods better than the other fellow, and our every effort has been along that line, and we have never been able to think of supplying the demand. Four years ago the place was bought for three hundred dollars ($300,00); today it could not be bought for seven thousand dollars ($7,000,00). We now employ four men and a woman, besides my brother, his wife, my wife and myself. I used to carry eggs in a basket, now we have four horses to do the work. That has been our success to date. The possibilities of the chicken business are unknown. There is more money made for the amount invested than any other business that I know of. Just think, one egg will produce other eggs in six months, and every egg will produce other eggs, if correctly handled. Remember that nature intended that the hen should manufacture eggs; she is simply nothing but a machine; if you give her the material to make the egg, she cannot help from laying any more than she cannot help from eating. But you cannot expect her to lay pure clean wholesome eggs when poorly or improperly fed, or allowed to drink from mud holes, stagnant pools or old rusty, dirty drinking vessels. When you stop to think that the egg is made from the food that the hen eats, you will readily see the need of giving them nothing but pure, clean, wholesome food to eat and pure, clean water to drink. Then keep only the busy working the one that is off the roost the first thing in the morning and is busy working all day long. The one that is here, there and everywhere; picking here, scratching there, getting a worm here, a bit of grain, shell or bone there, who is busy turning out one of the grandest and most nutritious products known for human consumption. Remember that it is the hustling hen, like the hustling men, working from dawn until long past the setting sun, then success is assured. Our place is five miles from the city of Washington, D. C., on a five-acre tract of land, and connected with the city by telephone; on this small farm we raise and keep annually about 1,000 hens; these hens have laid from fifteen to thirty dozen eggs a day, and these eggs sold from 30 to 60 cents a dozen, depending upon the season of the year. Up to this time we have had to buy all of the food used on the place, but this year we are growing our food on an additional twenty-seven acre tract of ground that we have leased for that purpose with the idea of buying it. Mr. President, we are crying for the door of opportunity to open for our young men and women. Now I want to say that there is no better door than the poultry business. Just think that of all the products in this great country, poultry and poultry products equal that of corn and wheat combined, and still the demand is greater than the supply. But let me make it plain to you, you must stick through thick and thin, through prosperity and reverses, and success is sure. Dr. Daniel H. Williams Performs Brilliant Operation Dr. Daniel H. Williams, the well known physician and surgeon of Chicago, was in the city a few days this week, the guest of the Indiana Association of Negro Physicians, Pharmacists and Dentists. One of the noteworthy events in the history of the medical profession of Indiana occured in connection with this third annual meeting. Through the courtesy of the City Board of Health and Superintendent of the City Hospital Dr. Williams held the first public clinic in the City Hospital by a colored man. The operation was brilliantly done. The internes, superintendent and spectators were interested, all of whom were unstinted in praise of Dr. Williams' work. He has no doubt the most complete knowledge of the human body of any man of our race. His advent into this city marks a new area in the medical circles. His lectures are pregnant with wisdom and cannot but produce a wholesome effect upon the profession. Wednesday morning he performed another brilliant operation at Dr. J. H. Ward's sanitorium and visited the Lincoln Hospital in the afternoon. He was the recipient of much attention while here and the Indiana Association has already a plan on foot for his return.—The Freeman. PROTEST AGAINST NEGRO NEIGHBORS Baltimore, Md., Sept. 27.—Riot and every other means of intimidation were hinted at in a hearing before the City Council Committee on Police Jail yesterday by white people, who were there to favor an ordinance confining the colored people to streets almost solely occupied by members of the race. Within the past ten days colored people have bought or rented much desirable property that had been either idle or thrown on the market and a tempest in a teapot was caused a few weeks ago when colored people moved in property on McCulloh street that had been occupied by Hebrews. A number of white persons made arguments for the proposed law, which, by the way, is not a law in any city in this country. The colored people who moved into this property were said not to represent the better element of the race and the white real estate agents who sold or rented it to them were declared to be unscrupulous. A number of colored citizens were on hand to oppose the reactionary measure, but they were told that they and others would be heard next Monday. REGISTER! REGISTER!! Your Duty to Register. The voter who gets tired Fighting for his Rights and Liberties might as well have none. Colored Men and Women have Special need to Vote. REGISTER! REGISTER!! TER!!! "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." It makes no difference whether that liberty be small or great, it takes a fight to preserve it. And it is one long, never-ending fight, calling for eternal readiness, eternal fitness, eternal vigilance. The man who gets tired fighting for his rights and liberties might as well have none. If it were not for other men who continue the fight for him he would have none. The greater the number to give up the fight, the greater the labors of those who must carry on the struggle for all. It is not fair to give up the fight; it is not just to ourselves or to those who must continue the struggle for us. It should hardly be necessary to make such an appeal as this to colored men and women in the endeavor to have them register and get ready to vote at the coming election. But this duty has been too largely neglected. And it is not mere neglect that is responsible for the diminishing of our representation at the polls, but, in many cases, it is downright indifference. It is the mean and lazy quality which sacrifices benefits we have as well as those which we might attain. Because we cannot accomplish all that we would like to accomplish and as soon as we think we ought to accomplish it, we get tired of the effort or disgusted with the conditions requiring the same struggle over and over. Then we begin to complain about the injustice we meet with and to whine about the wrongs we suffer, and in this way we seek to justify our withdrawal from political activity and the abandonment of our political responsibilities. It is a shame that we are so short-sighted. The mere exercise of the right of franchise is a benefit in itself. The man who votes regularly is respected more than the man who does not vote, no matter how or for whom his vote is cast. He is respected because his vote is an expression of his individual civil power, which some time, in some way, may possibly decide some great and important matter, and at least help to make a majority. It is not necessary that we should see some special or personal benefit as the result of our voting. The greatest benefit is the respect which the intelligent exercise of the right of franchise brings to us. On the other hand, the neglect to vote or the constant abuse of the bal- NO.4 lot power causes contempt. The man who takes no interest in the kind of government he lives under, or in the character of the officials elected to direct that government, is a poor business man and a poor citizen. If a majority of the people were like him no man's life or property would be safe, because the government would be a despotic farce. It takes men and women who care and who voluntarily do their duty to keep a government safe and free. But colored men and women have special need to vote. To neglect to vote is to stagnate. Over in Oklahoma a grandfather disfranchising clause is being worked into the state constitution to take the colored citizen's vote away from him. They are to have no say in the election of officers who will govern them, if the Democratic policy is carried out. Their political progress will be cut short; their civil liberties will be menaced; they can exert no influence that will insure them a safe standing under the law. The same situation may not confront us in Colorado, but the neglect of our rights and duties will create conditions approaching those promised in Oklahoma. Democracy is the same at heart everywhere. Even progressive Democrats in Georgia demand disfranchisement of the Negroes. They will not do it in Colorado, but Democratic successes in Colorado in recent years have helped to lessen the political regard which the colored citizens formerly enjoyed. We have lost representation and general political consideration. And some of us have contributed to that loss by neglecting to register and vote or by voting foolishly. The Republican party is still the party of sympathy, of progress and of political safety. On the complete Republican ticket this year there are the names of many particularly earnest friends of the colored people. We do not mean merely political friends, but sincere and outright friends on purely personal principles. They are big-hearted, progressive Americans, such as we must depend upon all that we expect to gain in the way of civil and political improvement. We should need no greater consideration or inducement to persuade us to register and vote. Don't wait to be begged or carried to the registration places. Go as a duty which you owe to yourself and your people, as well as to your country and state, and go without delay. It is your best move.

Ellison Carroll retained his title of champion of the world at Hugo, Okla., Monday. After a world-wide search lasting six years, Baron Von Mellenthen of Prussia, who is in San Francisco, has recovered his young son, who is heir to a large estate near Stoten. A simple device attached to a wringer drew from a live wire more than 2,000 volts of electricity and dealt death to Thomas McMester and his sister at Brighton City, Utah. Los Angeles detectives believe they have found the launch "Peerless" in which the dynamite was conveyed to this city. They believe the "Pastime," located in an estuary at Oakland is the much sought craft. The boat was identified by George Phillips, salesman of the powder company at Giant, as the one used by the men who bought the 500 pounds of dynamite Sept. 23. Delegates to the thirty-sixth annual convention of the American Bankers' Association, numbering about 1,500, met at Los Angeles Tuesday. The committee on express companies and money orders recommended a plan that banks shall issue such form of money orders as are now issued by the government through the postoffice department and by the express companies, and have some financial institution of merit act as agent. New Mexico's constitutional convention opened Monday at noon in the hall of representatives at Santa Fe. Former Delegate to Congress Thomas B. Catron called the convention to order after Rev. Jules Deraches, chaplain of San Miguel church, the oldest church in the United States, had asked for the "seven gifts of the Holy Ghost" to descend upon the one hundred delegates, the oath of office was administered by Judge R. McFle, of the New Mexico Supreme Court. Under the stimulus of proffered rewards aggregating $100,000, hundreds of policemen and private citizens at Los Angeles and in all coast cities are searching for claws that may lead to the arrest of the band of conspirators who are held responsible for the blowing up of the Times building last Saturday and the attempted destruction of the homes of General Otis and F. J. Zeehandelaar, secretary of the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Association. Three men who bought dynamite found here and identified by the salesman are known and are being searched for. The constitutional convention convened at Santa Fe, N.M., Tuesday and devoted the greater share of 4 hours to the assignment of seats to the 100 delegates, the Democratic minority having rebelled against the seats given them. The matter was finally disposed of by lot. An invitation was telegraphed to President Taft to attend the convention. Mrs. Mary C. Prince, state regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution, presented a gavel made from wood of the mantel in a room of George Washington's mother and from one of the three oak trees planted by the father of his country. The Civil Service Commission will hold an examination for assistant forest ranger Oct. 24-25. The United States Department of Agriculture estimates that 400 alibes will be needed during the field season of 1911. Assistant forest rangers are paid an entrance salary of $1,000 per annum. The examination will be held at national forest headquarters in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Kansas Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming. No examinations will be held in Arkansas, Oklahoma and Utah, except at Kanah, Utah, the headquarters of the Kalibab national forest. Since all of the Kalibab forest is in Arizona, residents of Arizona will, under the law, have preference in appointments for this forest. Monday night on the eve of convening of the Silver Bow county Republican convention, the News, Augustus Heinze's newspaper, announces that it will absoluteiv refuse to support any Republican candidates in the employ of the Amalgamated Copper Company, and demands that President John D.

FOREIGN. King Frederick Monday received Boker T. Washington in Copenhagen, and conversed at length with him on the subject of the negro race. The long-waited revolution in Portugal has broken out. Lisbon is in the hands of the Republicans; the royal standard has been torn from the palace and the flag of the revolutionists raised in its place. Some reports have it that King Manuel is a prisoner; army and navy have added their support to transforming a monarchy into a republic, and the movement that began in the capital is likely to spread quickly throughout the country. As is usual under such conditions, telegraphic communication with Lisbon has been practically cut off; but wireless dispatches from vessels lying off Lisbon have amply confirmed the revolution. WASHINGTON. The Interstate Commerce Commission ordered the proposed increase in the freight rates on lumber and forest products generally, from the Pacific northwest to points of Eastern destination, suspended until February 8, 1911. The proposed advances were to become effective October 16. The commission will inquire into their reasonableness. Several million dollars a year in freight rates are involved in the proceeding. The lumber manufacturers of the Pacific northwest contend they cannot pay the proposed advance and that it will mean ruin to them if it is put into effect. The case is one of immense importance to the north Pacific lumber manufacturers, particularly to those in the Williamette valley district. The immediate case is directed against the Southern Pacific company, the Corralis & Eastern Railroad Company and the Independence & Monmouth Railroad Company, on behalf of which the tariffs have been filed. All of the northwestern lines eventually will be drawn into the case. GENERAL A Greek immigrant on the steamer Germania, from Naples, died of cholera in a hospital in New York. Two men are dead and one seriously injured as the result of an explosion in the high explosives building of the Washington navy yard Tuesday. Thirty-eight persons were killed and from 16 to 25 injured in a collision at Dickerson's curve on the Illinois Traction system two miles north of Staunton, Ill., Tuesday. The estimate of the losses sustained by the Illinois Central railroad through forming out its car repairing was raised at Chicago Tuesday until officials now assert that nearly $2,000,000 was taken from the company. John D. Rockefeller got the surprise of his life Tuesday. The Commission of Scientists, to which he gave $1,000,000 to find out the best way to eradicate the hookworm in the South, sent a preliminary report to him in which they declared kerosene was a cure. Dr. Harry Thurston Peck, one of the foremost Latin scholars of the world, named defendant in a $100,000 breach of promise suit brought by Esther Quinn of Boston, was dismissed as professor of Latin and literature by the trustees of Columbia university Tuesday. Dr. J. B. Murphy, president of the American Medical Association, is on the eve of an announcement of what physicians says is one of the most important discoveries in the history of surgery. The discovery is to the effect that ankylosis, or stiffening of the joints, from any cause except tuberculosis, is preventable, and that where joints have become stiffened through inflammation, they may be cut open and new pliable joints made. Fire in New York Monday swept an area 500 by 300 feet causing damage estimated at $1,500,000. Chief Croker announced that it was the greatest burned area during his experience in New York city. The space swept comprises almost three acres of lumber yards, factories and stables. For nearly three hours the fire was beyond the control of the department and it was stopped at length by an action of apparatus which, combined, threw water at the rate of 25,000 gallons a minute. Five hundred horses were rescued from stables. John E.

In these degenerate days things sadly are altered and he who would marry at twenty-five either must have a comfortable and assured income or be possessed of a sublime belief in himself and his bride-elect. He must be ready to forego most of the pleasures and luxuries which custom and popular habit have converted into almost necessities, and, alas, he will discover that the young wife of the present day expects much more and performs far less than did her mother thirty years or so ago. She by no means will be content to sit at home evenings and darn stockings while her husband goes to the club, or, if he be the exemplary man his father was, stays at home also and reads aloud from some improving book.

It has been said that "when a man turns his toes out much in walking and treads upon the whole base of his foot, and is always stopping to look back, he is already old." The decline of life is characterized in all humankind alike by an indurating condition of every tissue. The arteries harden and nutrition proceeds more slowly. The muscles waste and fat lessens. The blood becomes paler, the skin dry, sallow and wrinkled. The heart up to an uncertain period grows larger and more muscular to meet the obstacles offered to the circulation, but finally it, too, ceases these efforts. The dryness of the skin casts harder work upon the kidneys in eliminating water and increases the disposition to disease of these organs. A prime necessity for old age is warmth. Nothing kills the aged so certainly as cold. It is of first hygienic importance, after seventy-five, that the individual should be loved and cared for. Those who live longest and enjoy the fullest measure of activity are those who do not overtax their stomachs when their teeth begin to fail them and who adapt their aliment to their enfeebled powers of mastication by having their food properly cooked for them. Stews, minces, meats boiled and afterward baked (cooked, that is, twice) are more easily digested; vegetables and fruits (not bananas) are better than overloading the stomach with milk and farinaceous foods. Great attention should be paid to the functions of the bowels and of the skin. A hot bath once a week and a hot foot bath every night may be advised. Further, their clothing should be warm and their bedrooms heated and well ventilated. A short nap in the afternoon is the natural habit of the aged and certainly advisable. Another shortage has bobbed up in the country. It's a shortage in farmers' wives. Without waiting for any outside assistance, farmers who are affected by this situation are casting about for relief, and the latest effort in this line is an appeal to the humane societies in the cities. The Manneapolis Humane society recently has received several letters from farmers seeking wives. One of the most remarkable of these missives comes from a young man in Wisconsin, who declares he owns a 160-acre farm but has been unable to secure a suitable wife. And of course a farm is not a farm without a farmer's wife. This enterprising tiller of the soil says he is thirty-five years old, admits he is good looking, and believes he would make an ideal husband for a factory girl between the ages of eighteen and twenty-six. Not only that, but he is willing to share the income from a productive tract of 160 acres with any good looking and congenial woman who would like to get "back to the farm." Here is an opportunity for the practical application of the return-to-the-land idea. Officers of the humane societies, however, are not especially anxious to shoulder this new task of matchmaking between the city and the country, and the situation suggests the organization of an official matrimonial bureau. Uncle Sam in the role of Cupid would be a new one. But if the problem of securing a larger country population is as important as seers believe it is, it is apparent that farm recruits must be found in some way, and possibly an honest matrimonial bureau would help. Long-distance matchmaking for the farmer is not a new idea by any means, and there are plenty of willing hands to represent either party in an affair of this kind for a small fee.

Most people like to be praised, no doubt, but Colored people think that they are slighted and wronged if they are not constantly given effusive credit and praise for what they are pleased to consider astounding progress and surprising capabilities. It is a common trait with us to profess all the capabilities of other men and other races, while declaring those capabilities handicapped and thwarted only by the unjust and overwhelming opposition of the prejudiced elements about us. The conviction that we are quite up to the test in any fair contest is a dangerous conviction, to say the least, for it gives birth to the resulting assumption that it is unnecessary for us to go to further trouble to make our claims doubly good and absolutely incontrovertible by overcoming the things which so unjustly restrict us. The only real triumphs of a people are those which are attained through a hand-to-hand struggle against opposing circumstances and which establish and emphasize an irresistible character before which all unjust and all unreasonable opposition must give way. Progress, which is but an upward drift, as a relative portion of another and a greater progress, is not substantial progress, like that which is gained by a life and death struggle against hostile conditions. We have not yet learned the subtler and more tragic side of life which knows no excuse to offer for suppression or failure. Mere commercial or social progress is not racial progress in the concrete, but they are borrowed assets, which we must pay back or surrender. True progress is original and independent, and relies upon nothing but the inherent daring and self-sufficient power of the people. See how the white man is battling to conquer the air. Life after life is being sacrificed in scientific daring, yet there is no limit to the hosts of willing volunteers. By such desperate effort the progress of the Caucasian race has become an example for mankind. The Black race is but an infant race, but it has these supreme measures to attain before it can consistently boast of its capabilities, or even dream, with complacent satisfaction, of a measure of progress upon which it may reliantly rest. COLORADO REPUBLICANS PROGRESSIVE The Republican state convention this year put Colorado in the list of progressive states without subjecting the party to the suspicion of being hysterical or in any degree carried away by the demoralizing clamor of extremists for the endorsement of those experimental fads which professional agitators have tried so hard to foist upon all the political parties. The Republicans of Colorado go on record as progressive along conservative and reasonable lines, without in any manner committing the party to a single theory embodying radical revolution or the sacrifice of that reputation for reliability which has characterized Republican administrations in the past. Every important proposition that can be recognized as a demand arising out of the progressive thought of the people and in line with advanced sentiment of the saner brand, has been clearly met and given sound direction in the state platform, while the wild fallacies that battered at the doors of the convention for abortive recognition were left on the outside. The people are not anxious to burden themselves with the responsibility or the demoralizing absurdity of direct legislation; all that intelligently progressive people ask is that they be given full and free opportunity to select from among themselves those in whom they have the greatest confidence to enact and administer the laws. The direct primary is the first and supreme demand, and nothing could be clearer or more emphatic than that plank in the platform insuring the adoption of this reform, in a manner to make it effective for the good desired, including the opportunity to be extended to the electorate to express its choice, binding upon the legislature, among candidates for the United States Senate. Coming from an open, untrammeled and representative Republican convention, where platform declarations mean what they say, and insure the enactment of effective laws without the requirement of extra sessions of the legislature, this is a big step forward and a sure and substantial one, which will either force or correct Democratic action, as haphazard contingencies may require. It will create new interest on the part of all Republicans throughout the state, for the opportunity which every element will have to seek representation and expression will prove inspiring. For instance, the Colored people feel that they should have a representative in the legislature at each biennial session. County conventions lose sight of the claims of Colored candidates in the excitement of the scramble of more favored elements over the list of nominations. Only by the personal permission or order of men of commanding influence are we occasionally given the representation to which we feel entitled. The direct primary may not insure us the representative we desire, but it will give us our first unrestricted opportunity to unite and fight for him in a manner at once instructive and beneficial, and finally we shall learn how to direct our claims and secure our aims like other elements. The necessity for registering and voting will then become more personal than it is at present, and the importance of public affairs will then be brought home to the appreciation of every voter. Progressive Republicanism is the one great pathway to political success. Young Man of Present Day Lacks Courage By HELEN OLDFIELD T GENERALLY is agreed that young men nowadays show much less disposition to marry, above all to marry young, than was manifested by their fathers and grandfathers. Judging by observation, which is less misleading than statistics, young men, as a rule, do not tumble headlong into matrimony in the happy-go-lucky, cheerful, not to say reckless fashion which was comparatively common fifty or a hundred years ago. I "Different times, different manners;" the changed conditions of social life have much to do with this change of heart. It seems to take the young man of today at the least ten years susceptible age and settles down into a steady-going, club haunting bachelor, who is content with his billiards and bridge, and has no inclination toward marriage. Victoria Nevertheless, the fact remains that when a man truly is in love, still more when passion seizes him in its grip, the question which exercises him is not whether he shall marry Her, but whether She will marry him. Then it is, for her sake, that he should weigh the pros and cons and remember that it is the part of true love to shield the beloved from privation. The periods of advanced life from sixty to eighty, and of old age, from eighty years upward, may be considered together. It has been said that "when a man turns his toes out much in walking and treads upon the whole base of his foot, and is always stopping to look back, he is already old."

WASHINGTON GOSSIP Uncle Sam Is Loser in Cash Account Hall of Fame Statuary Not Artistic Much-Read Social Science Bulletins Postal Thieves Comparatively Few HOLY, SMOKE, I AM SHORT WASHINGTON.—One of the mighty few instances on record of the United States having been "done" in its cash accounts came to light at the treasury department the other day in a decision handed down by the controller of the treasury. In this particular instance the government is short more than $4,000 and has no way of helping itself. It became a victim through the carelessness of its own officers, and the victimization, too, was not criminal in its nature. Prior to 1879 the late Samuel J. Little of Georgetown owned four certificates of 6 per cent. stock of the old corporation of Georgetown. Upon his death he left a life interest in the stock to his sister, Mrs. Eliza A. Ricketts, and the residue to his minor children, J. C. Little and Julia A. Little. In the settlement of the case before the probate court the actual possession of the four certificates of stock was passed to Mrs. Ricketts, so that she might collect from the treasurer, from time to time, the interest due her. Shortly after this United States Treasurer Gilfillan issued a circular calling upon all holders of Georgetown corporation stock, which was THERE is a determined effort being made in Washington to have old Representative hall in the capitol cleaned out. This is the room now known as the Hall of Horrors to those who have seen the statuary in it, but which is aristocratically titled the Hall of Fame. There are a lot of statues that are freaks from way back. There is only one piece of really good sculpture in the whole bunch of some 35 or 40, and that is Father Marquette, which was presented by Wisconsin. It is an exquisite piece of work. The rest of the statues are practical caricatures. There is one of Fulton, who is seated in a chair with a piece of machinery in his hand. He lops all over the chair, his legs are sprawled in all sorts of ways, and it is about as woebe-gone a piece of marble as can well be imagined. There is a marble of I'll send for some SOCIAL SCIENCE, DINGIT! WHEREHER the high price of food is causing the public to take an uncommonly keen interest in domestic problems now, or whether the cause is something else, the officials of the Department of Agriculture do not undertake to say. The fact remains that there has been a greater run up to date on the so-called "social science" series of bulletins than on any other pamphlets the department has ever produced. Up to the present there has been a total of 16,672,000 bulletins distributed. Some now out of print have been applied for so often that it is probable the estimates for next year will include provision for reprinting. This government is the only one in the world that has gone into the business of printing cook books. It was I'll KNOW BETTER NEXT TIME THE Postoffice Department daily receives hundreds of complaints caused by the losses of packages and money. Mails are easy to rob, but few postal thieves ever escape final detection; they are sure to be entrapped and punished in the end. While speaking of these numerous complaints, an old detective, called inspector, of the Postoffice Department said: "No thief is harder to catch than the one who robs Uncle Sam's mail. The methods of such thieves are ingenious, the plunder is easily hidden or destroyed, and their rascality is well masked by the honesty and integrity of associates. "Postoffice thieves are not arrested every day, although valuable letters and other articles are stolen almost daily and an army of shrewd inspectors are on the alert. Positive proof of guilt must be in the possession of the inspector before an arrest is made. one of the old forms of obligation by the District of Columbia, to present the certificates for redemption. Mr. Ricketts took the four certificates to the treasurer's office, indorsed "I hereby assign the within certificates to the treasurer of the United States for redemption, on account of Eliza A. Ricketts." The treasurer refused redemption upon this indorsement. Mrs. Ricketts then asked the first auditor of the treasury, as he was known in those days, to approve the indorsement, but he refused. She appealed to the office of the then first controller of the treasury and obtained the desired approval. Accordingly the treasurer paid Mrs. Ricketts $4,012 principal and $9.23 interest. In 1894 Julia A. Burnell, formerly Julia A. Little, the daughter of Samuel J. Little, made claim for the $4,021.23, alleging that it had been erroneously paid to Mrs. Ricketts, who had a life interest only. The claim was disallowed by the treasury. Mrs. Burnell and her husband then entered suit for the amount before the court of claims. A year ago they obtained judgment for the amount, and in the deficiency act of June 25, 1910, appropriation was made to pay this claim, along with others. Mrs. Burnell has been fighting for sixteen years to secure the money she thought was hers and is just now coming into her own, while the government is out over $4,000. Webster, whom everybody knows was not a large man, but the statue makes him a regular giant. There is a statue of John J. Ingalls, the only one as yet sent by Kansas, and excepting that it is like a line, has neither breadth nor thickness, which was a good description of Ingalls. It is the limit for ugliness. There is a statue of Frances Willard in a basque and ill-hanging dress, which bears not the slightest resemblance to that dainty, sweet-faced woman. There is a statue of Phil Kearny in bronze, which is very pretty to look at, but has very little artistic merit, and there is one of Shoup, of Idaho, which looks as though it might have been sandpapered out of a piece of marble. And then there is Washington, a dapper little darling with sloping brow, as fashioned by Houdon. The Washington newspapers some time ago began a crusade to have the law placing statutes in Statuary hall by the states repealed. It is to be repealed on the ground that the hall is already jammed to overflowing, and if any more statuary is presented it will be necessary to make a second and inner row. stated, when the Department of Agriculture recently issued the book on the use of cheap cuts of meat, that it was the first government cook book ever printed. The social science series has been running for more than a decade, and has, incidentally, taken in various domestic problems in the food line under the head of "Nutrition Investigations." The earliest of these was one on the composition and cooking of meats, issued nearly 14 years ago. Of this there has been something over half a million copies distributed. But the most popular of all the bulletins was the recent one on "The Economical Use of Meat in the Home." This has been out only a few months, and there have already been distributed 1,200,000. Calls are still coming in rapidly. The series comprises books on all sorts of subjects—the preserving of fruits and vegetables, fish as food, the care of milk in the home, the value of peas, beans and legumes in general as food, the cooking of vegetables, and more than a dozen other subjects. Circumstantial evidence does not go at any time with us. It is an established rule that the evidence must be positive and direct. In almost every case an arrest means conviction. "From one point of view it is wonderful that there are so few thieves among the many thousands of clerks who handle the mails first and last, for great temptations surround them, as they handle millions of valuable parcels. It is known that these clerks soon learn to tell by the very touch of a letter whether it contains money. If so inclined it would be an easy matter for the dishonest clerk to slip letters into his pocket and open them in the privacy of his room. That the cases of dishonesty are comparatively few is a high tribute to the moral qualities of the postoffice clerks. "There are but two successful ways to catch a postoffice thief—constant watch and decoy letters. With these, and a large supply of patience, the game will be landed, though it often requires months, and sometimes years. It is one of the most annoying and difficult lines of detective work, and requires the most earnest application. Not a single circumstance or detail must be overlooked." NEW REPUBLIC OF PORTUGAL OLD SPAIN OFFICIALLY PAYS RE SPECTS TO THE YOUNG REPUBLIC. THEOPHILE BRAGA PRES. FIERCE FIGHTING IN STREETS OF LISBON.—THE KING IS UNHARMED. London.—Portugal has been proclaimed a republic, and Theophile Braga, republican leader, is the president. The Portuguese marseillaise is the new national anthem, and the emblem of monarchy on the palace has been replaced by the flag of red and green, the colors of the republican party. That there was fierce fighting in the streets of Lisbon is evidenced by dispatches from all quarters. Disorders at Oporto have been repressed by the troops, many regiments of which are said to be still loyal to the king. King Manuel, the queen mother and the queen dowager, are reported to have taken refuge in the palace at Mafra, near Lisbon. They may be on a British warship bound for Gibraltar. Lisbon.—The capital is now completely in the hands of the republicans, who have formed a provisional government with Theophile Braga as president. A new national flag of red and green is flying over all public buildings. It is impossible to estimate the number of those killed or wounded in yesterday's fighting but it is expected to reach several hundred. The city has been considerably damaged by the bombardment of the insurgent warships. Thus far, however, no attack has been made upon private property, and it is reported that the banks are being guarded by bluejackets. All through the night artillery and rifle fire was incessant and toward dawn it increased in intensity. At 11 o'clock Wednesday night insurgents encamped on the heights of Avenida do Liberado, and tried to force their way to the center of the city but were driven back by loyal troops. The insurgents were led by the retired admiral, Carlos Reis. Their forces were greatly augmented by desertions from the monarchists, and they succeeded eventually in getting control of the city. The inhabitants paraded the streets, most of them with rifles in their hands, singing the Portuguese marseillaise, which has now become the national anthem. Red Cross ambulances and parties and police and men from the fire brigade are patrolling the streets and removing the dead and wounded. The revolutionists raided all buildings that flew the old flag and tore down the emblems of the monarchy. The warships greeted the hoisting of the Republican flag with salvos of artillery. Theophile Braga, the provisional president, is a poet and economist. He has been an avowed Republican for forty years, but only recently made his entry into politics. He is essentially a man of the people. Bernardino Machado, who is the most profound politician of the Republican party, is a candidate for the presidency of the new republic. Civil war, the correspondent adds, between the capital and the country, is probable and should it occur, there seems no reason why the Republicans, backed by a Lisbon mob, should not be able to dominate the rest of the country. The French newspapers are urging the government of France not to permit intervention, even if Spain, too, is threatened with an overthrow. The French cabinet will meet to deliberate on the Portuguese situation and on the advisability of sending a warship to Lisbon. Times Dynamiters Said to Be Miners. Times Dynamites Said to Be Mineral Los Angeles.—It is believed here that the men who carried out the plot to wreck the Times plant and attempted to destroy the homes of General Otis and F. K.

Seven poor children, four girls and three boys, all about ten years old, went to a nearby seashore resort, in charge of two women, for a day's outing. The funds for the picnic were provided by two boys who sell papers and who live in one of the two houses from which the excursion party was recruited. One of the women in charge of the children said that the boys had arranged the outing "of their own accord, and the remarkable thing is this: They are not good boys by any means and one of them is probably the naughtiest boy in the neighborhood. But we think that when boys do little things like this they will come out all right."—New York Tribune. A Question. Vera (eight years old)—What does transatlantic mean, mother? Mother—Across the Atlantic, of course; but you mustn't bother me. Vera—Does "trans" always mean across? Mother—I suppose it does.

A little miss of five years who had been allowed to stay up for an evening party, was told about 8:30 to go to bed. Very, very slowly she moved toward the stair. An aunt, seeing her reluctance, asked: "Helen, can I do anything to help you?" "No," replied Helen. "I will get there altogether too soon as it is." If a woman doesn't hate a man all of the time she is in great danger of loving him part of the time. A FOOD DRINK. Which Brings Daily Enjoyment. A lady doctor writes : "Though busy hourly with my own affairs, I will not deny myself the pleasure of taking a few minutes to tell of my enjoyment daily obtained from my morning cup of Postum. It is a food beverage, not a poison like coffee. "I began to use Postum eight years ago, not because I wanted to, but be cause coffee, which I dearly loved, made my nights long weary periods to be dreaded and unfitting me for business during the day. "On the advice of a friend, I first tried Postum, making it carefully as directed on the package. As I had always used 'cream and no sugar,' I mixed my Postum so. It looked good, was clear and fragrant, and it was a pleasure to see the cream color it as my Kentucky friend always wanted her coffee to look—'like a new saddle.' "Then I tasted it critically, for I had tried many 'substitutes' for coffee. I was pleased, yes, satisfied, with my Postum in taste and effect, and am yet, being a constant user of it all these years. "I continually assure my friends and acquaintances that they will like it in place of coffee, and receive benefit from its use. I have gained weight, can sleep sound and am not nervous."

A Boston doctor sat in a front seat in a Tremont street theater the other night. In the breathless silence as the third act neared the climax, there was a commotion near the door, and then a grave voice said: "Is Dr. Blank in the audience?" Dr. Blank rose calmly. He walked down the aisle with the serious, self-contained air of one on whom the life of a fellow creature depended. A young man awaited him at the door. "Well?" said the doctor. "Well, sir, what is it?" "Doctor," said the young man, as he drew a large wallet from his breast pocket, 'I'm Cash & Payup's new collector.

A worker in the Salvation Army tells the following story: "A down-and-out beggar came along an uptown street the other day where I was getting ready to hold a meeting. The man looked pretty much up against it, and I watched him to see what he would do. "He approached a bystander, shame facedly, and muttered something.

'Where is the bed?'"—Boston Traveler. Why He Was Patient. Gushing Young Wife—This talk about men always being impatient when a woman is getting ready to go out is all nonsense. Her Old School Friend—why, does your husband never complain? Young Wife—No, indeed; only last evening I asked him to go out with me, and I couldn't find the gloves I wanted to wear. Then I had a long hunt for half a dozen other things. Yet, when I was finally quite ready to go, and went downstairs, I found the dear boy seated reading the paper and calmly smoking as if I had not kept him waiting at all. Friend—You don't say so? But may I ask where you were going? Young Wife—Shopping A Freak of Nature. Col. Dennison had become the happily father of twins, and his unbounded in his two-fold . blessedness found expression on every occasion. He stood with a friend on the bank steps one day as a young woman passed wheeling a baby carriage containing a pretty girl baby. "Dosen't a woman look queer," said the colonel, loftily, "with only one child?" A year ago there emanated from the Passenger Department of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad a folder giving the time of trains, with notes descriptive of the points of interest, the scenery and the industrial and commercial importance of the cities located on its line together with information regarding altitudes and populations. This folder, at once so simple and understandable, was such a marked improvement over the puzzling leaflets usually handed the traveler that it was received with instant favor and attracted much attention. Its drawback was an awkward fold, and it was minus a map. All this has now been remedied, a new descriptive folder, with a splendid Coast to Coast map and a collapsible fold that simply falls together, having made its appearance a day or two ago. The Rio Grande now enjoys the distinction of issuing the simplest and most readily understood time table of any railroad in the United States. HOWARD E.

Ralston, auditor of the News, have jointly and several, ly decided that sleeping out in the open isn’t all that it has been declared to be, says the Cleveland Leader. They were both in a deep snooze out at the Beattie farm, near Chagrin Falls, the other night, when a runaway team from the county fair city turned Into the lane leading up to the Beattie es- tate and came along at full speed. Sound asleep, but dreaming of {m- pending danger, Ralston rolled oul. of his cot toward the north, and Beattie from his cot toward the south. ‘The runaway horses dashed between the sleepers, oyersetting everything in the way, but missing Beattie and Ralston by margins too narrow to be meas- ured. Since that night Ralston has slept in his town house and Beattie has found shelter under the ample roof of his house on his big planta- tion. Why He Wouldn’t Hurry. ‘They were riding to church and ‘were late. Several of the party were worried and one remarked: “The au- dience will be waiting.” “Well,” ob- served the old pastor (who was to preach that forenoon), “don’t let's fret cover it if we are a little late. It re- minds me of the man who was being taken to execution. His guards were greatly exercised over the fact that they could not possibly get there on time. ‘Never mind,’ said the poor fel- low, philosophically. ‘Don’t fuss over {t. "The people can wait.

That was in the sum- mer of 1864, That a part of Fort Stevens stands 1s not due to any organized effort to preserve this historic landmark, but is due only to the fact that the fort is not yet required for building sites. Washington's suburbs have grown northward to the fort and over lapped it.

One side of that street has been built up with small frame houses. The north face of the fort, which fronted the southern troops, has not been lev- eled, nor has the ‘broad deep ditch— the dry moat—been filled. On the spot where Lincoln stood a black locust tree has grown, and on ‘the trunk of this tree has been nailed a rude signboard, on which that in- | teresting fact is inscribed. In the pic- ture a man, one of the dwellers in the fort street, is seated and leans against the tree. Above him may be seen the sign board. ‘The proposition that this fort site be secured by the government and preserved frequently has been broach- ed, and a number of*patriotic organt- zations have passed fitting resolutions. but the matter always has ended in thin air. Early's dash in Washington was one of the daring enterprises of the great war. The north was waiting {mpa- tiently for Grant to take Richmond. ‘The capture of Washington would have meant increased foreign compli- cations for the United States. It might have meant recognition of the Con- federate states by the European pow- ers. It would have been a sentimental blow to the Union and would have meant irreparable loss. Early after the campaiga said. “General Lee did not expect me to be able to enter Washington. His order were merely to threaten the city, and when T sug- gested to him the idea of capturing it he said It would be impossible.” Early crossed the Potomac river at Shep- herdstown and on the 9th of July fought the battle of the Monocacy, de- featins the army of Gen, Lew Wal- lace. On the afternoon of July 10 Early's army was at Rockville, 18 miles west by north of Washfngton. In this place he threatened both Washington and Baltimore. There was pantie in both cities. The First and Second divisions of the Sixth army corps had been ordered up from the James river. A part of the Nineteenth corps returning from New Orleans to Join Grant's army arrived at Fort Monroe and were ordered on to Wash- ington without leaving their trans- ports. The Twenty-fifth New York cavalry was the first of the troops of Grant to reach Washington, arriving ‘at Fort Stevens at mfdnight July 10. In the meantime every man that could be utilized for the defense of the cap- fat] had been pressed Into service. ‘The hospitals in and around Washington were drawn on for convalescents, the quartermaster’s department for em- ployees, the executive departments for volunteers, the National Guard of Ohio, the District of Columbia militia, the Veteran Reserves and the few unassigned regular detachments of in- fentry and cavalry, sailors, the Wash- ington firemen and police and citi- zens. Early marched from Rockville at awn, July 11, and came upon Fort Stevens in the afternoon. Line of battle was formed, skirmishers thrown out and the fighting began. Early’s men gained ground, but late in the day the Eleventh corps arrived. On the next morning, hopeless of success in the face of such euperi. umbers, Barly retraced his steps. PRAYED JUST TO KILL TIME Blind Chaplain Implored to Keep at It While the Lost Journal Was Being Sought. There {8 a good deal of quiet laugh- ‘ter golng on when two or three of the ‘members get together over a prayer ‘made by Rev. Dr, Couden when he ‘was chaplain of the house, Chaplain ‘Couden, who ts known as the blind chaplain, having been totally blind for nearly half a century from bursting of shells in the war, is a very special pleader, making an appeal to the Most High in @ yery personal manner. In this particular prayer he was deploring muck-raking, and told the Lord all about {t very effectively. It recalled to mind @ prayer made by @ chaplain & good many years ago, which was re- called by a member of the house, who stated he had actually forgotten who made the prayer orgwho was speaker at the time. He only remembered the incident. “The journal clerk,” relates the member, “rushed into the house and up to the desk while the chaplain was praying. The chaplain stands right beside the journal clerk while he prays. The clerk looked over the pa- pers on his desk in a very hasty man- ner, and then leaned over to the chap- lain, slamming his papers about all the time, and sald: ‘Keep on praying. We can’t find the journal.’ “Mr. Chaplain was so startled that he faltered in his prayer, but after a moment he seemed to grasp the situ- ation, He bowed his head still lower and continued to pray. ‘The usual time devoted to prayer in the house {8 aout one minute. Members began to shift uneasily on thelr feet, to look at their watches, and, instead of bowing their heads in reverence, they looked at the speaker pleadingly. The speak- er, evidently, had been informed of the difficulty, and, realizing that the business of the house could not pro- ceed without the journal, he was will- ing that the members get plenty of prayer. After ten minutes’ solid pray- ing the preacher showed signs of get- ting nervous. He knew the members were getting restive, and he looked down to one of the clerks. “ ‘Don't stop,’ pleaded the clerk. ‘We haven't found it yet.’ “The preacher did not stop until he had been praying for 15 minutes, at the end of which time the journal clerk rushed into the house bearing the precious book under his arm. “‘Amen,’ said the chaplain, with a sigh of rellef, and the speaker prompt: ly ordered the clerk to read the jour- nal of the preceding day's business.” WOMAN IS FORESTRY EXPERT Miss Gerry Has the Distinction of Be- coming an Experimenter in the Service. ‘The distinction which has come to Miss Gerry is one which, it is sald, might well be envied by forestry ex- perts the country over.

The other day a man of family in Washing- ton proceeded to do things by way of the courts against a laundryman. This man had sent his wash to the laundry in a nice, clean box. He got his laun- dry back in an old, dilapidated box, which looked as though it might have served for such carrying purposes for months. There was not even a piece of paper between the supposedly clean clothes which were returned to him and the soiled box. The man immedi- ately wanted to know why. He want- ed to know if he was supposed to wear clothes sent home to him in a soiled box, a box soiled by some other man’s soiled linen—a man whom he did not mow and who might have had all sorts of ills in his family. The que» tion was declared pertinent by the laundry inspector of the department, and the laundryman will bave to am swer the “why.” Color more goods brighter and {aster colors than any other dye.

The benches in tho waiting rooms at the Union depot in Kansas City are used for other purposes than to rest on by travelers, the Kansas City Star enlightens us. At every midnight the mafds clean out the rooms. They do not forget to poke under the benches for stray bundles left by trust: Ing travelers. Sometimes, after intervals, the tray- elers return to claim their. property. Some time ago a red cap at the depot saw a man in a linen duster, a felt hat and the manner of one who had spent his life in a secluded part of the Ozarks get down on his knees and peer carefully under several of the benches. “Lost anything, mister?” the red cap queried. “Wall, no, sonny, not a’zactly. I left a pair of rubbers here last January when I was on the way tew Emporey. Hain't seen nuthin’ of ‘em, have you?” ‘The red cap explained that he hadn't, and, moreover, that the room had been cleaned out several dozen times since last January. “Well, I swan,” replied the traveler, blinking and stroking his beard, “the city methods do beat me.” Nini Safa uska RAG, “Confound these election bets, any way!” grumbled Harker. “Lose heavily?” inquired his friend “No, I won ten boxes of cigars and they were so rank I sold the whole lot to the corner tobacconist for a dollar.” “Well, you made a dollar, anyway." “Yes, but that is not the worst of it. My wife saw the boxes in the window marked ‘A Bargain, $2,’ and bought the whole lot to give me as « birthday present.” BABY’S SKIN TORTURE “When our baby was seven weeks old he broke out with what we thought was heat, but which gradually giew worse. We called in a doctor. He said it was eczema and from that time we doctored six months with three of the best doctors in Atchison but he only got worse. His face, head and hands were a solid sore. ‘There was no end to the suffering for him. We had to tie his little hands to keep him from scratching. He never knew what it was to sleep well from the time he took the disease until he was cured. He kept us awake all hours of the night and his health wasn't what you would call good. We tried everything but the right thing. “Pinally I got a set of the Cuticura Remedies and I am pleased to say we did not use all of them until he was cured. We have waited a year and a half to see if it would return but ft never has and to-day his skin {s clear and fair as it possibly could be.

Cleaned and Putti dition d by City of Denver Denver, Colorado For the Hostess Chat on Interesting Topics of Many Kinds, by a Recognized Authority T For a Bride-Elect. So many of my letters are from just the dearest girls in the world who count themselves among the bread winners; and every once and a while some one of them is married, and then all her good friends want to do all they can in way of showers and wedding gifts. When such an occasion comes I have many queries as to how and what should be done. Now this is the way ten girls in an office did when one of their number was to marry a young doctor with very little money but a splendid fellow for all that. They called a meeting and decided that at the most three dollars apiece was all they could spare for both wedding gift and a shower, so it resolved itself into this admirable plan. They invited the bride-to-be to spend a Saturday afternoon with them at the home of one of the girls and, when the tea was served, they presented the honored guest with a half dozen teaspoons, a half dozen forks and a half dozen pearl-handled knives and told her this was her wedding present from the ten. They selected a stock pattern, so that at any time more silver could be added, and they left the marking to be done as the bride wished. I think this was a most sensible and satisfactory thing all around and the combination of funds made a fine showing, much more practical than if each girl had tried to put her three dollars into a separate gift. A. Whittler Contest For those who are keen after literary games this Whittier stunt may be acceptable. It may be used in connection with school work, especially when studying our American classics: 1. Guess the name of the poem shut in by the storm. Snow bound. 2. The poem where volumes abound. The Library. 3. The poem devoid both of shoes and stockings. The Barefoot Boy. 4. The poem that flows from the ground. The Mountain. 5. The poem whose mother in Salem was hanged. The Witch's Daughter. 6. The poem of sunshine and rain. April. 7. The poem which gathered the hay in the field. Maud Muller. 8. The poem that's hard to explain. A Mystery. 9. The poem which shared in the games of my youth. My Plymute. 10. The poem when lessons were learned. In School Days. 11. The poem which guarded the flag from disgrace. Barbara Fletchie. 12. The poem in fire places burned. Burning Driftwood. A Dutch Chocolate. Now that the cooler days have come hot drinks are very acceptable at afternoon affairs. On quaint Dutch post cards the hostess asked twenty guests to spend the afternoon with her from "three to five." The first stunt afforded great amusement, the girls sat four at a table and the hostess passed a square of Delft blue card board to Embroide SEPARATE motifs for embroidery and stenciling usually are presented in running designs, in small or large squares or in single flowers that necessarily vary in shape, but tend toward general roundness as a whole. Now there are articles for the house beautiful that demand an upright or tall, slender motif, such as are shown in these illustrations. They belong to all who care to trace or transfer them and to the more experienced, who can enlarge them. They will be found applicable to lampshade panels, to such small articles as the fancy-work bag, and sash curtain and table runner and to many small crash hangings for the library and the boudolr. Also it will be possible to use these on various beaten brass articles and as pyrographic outlines for wood, leather or velvet. The square outlines of the conventional rose and the more rounded tree design are especially planned for those each with a tube of library paste and an envelope containing a Dutch figure cut into a puzzle, the bits were to be pasted upon the blue background when the picture was completed. The one who first accomplished this was presented with a Dutch brand of chocolate for a prize. Then the hostess showed us a fine collection of postcards all representing Holland scenes. The refreshments consisted of nut bread sandwiches with porcelain mugs of piping hot chocolate topped with whipped cream, and delicious creamed finnan haddle in ramakins. There were charming place cards in shape of wind mills and the table centerpiece was a large wooden shoe filled with golden glow. The dolls were of blue denim, fringed all around with the hostess' monogram done in white in the center of each. An Autumn Luncheon. At a country house, just before being closed for the season, there was a delightful luncheon given for eight city guests. Every thing was suggestive of the fall; the flowers were asters and the centerpiece was a brown basket filled with all sorts of fruit. After the repast there was a game of bridge with grape juice served from a punch bowl with bunches of purple and white grapes hanging over the edge. The effect was lovely and all exclaimed "How pretty!" For prizes the hostess had arranged baskets of vegetables and arranged baskets on the place, and put up daintily with flowers on top. MADAME MERRI. FANCIES OF FASHION. Light old rose tints are genuinely girlish colors for millinery purposes. Children's silk socks are embroidered in small detached flowers in self tones. Foulard velled with chiffon make up simple little afternoon or visiting gowns. The summer stockings are embroidered in vivid colors on instep and ankle. Dull silver slippers will be worn quite as much as the white on summer evenings. The bandana handkerchief cap is in good repute this year, and is seen accompanying many of the smartest bathing suits. In suede shoes one sees taupe, old nattier, wood rose, all dark browns and blues, and, of course, black. Fashionable women have a pair for each handsome gown. ery Motifs who stencil, and it will be seen at a glance that they can be carried out in one color or in two. The rose itself may be a dull pink, with the stem reproduced in dull leaf green. All of the tree is green except the central portion of the upper head. More suggestive of embroidery are the cattail and iris, both of which are intended for quick work in long flat stitches after the Japanese. Very frequently, when the outlines have been done in black to produce an effect quickly, just such stitches as are here shown are hastily placed within leaves and petals; just a few to produce the color, for instance, or the purple iris or the rich brown of the cattail, as is desired. All of these designs will serve also as models from which to paint upon Japanese burlap paper for lampshades, or upon parchment, and their outlines will suggest the similar treatment of other flowers.
