THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY NEGRO PUB- LIC SCHOOLS An Open Letter from Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Institute. An Appeal for the Negro Child. VOL. XVII. NEGRO LIC S An Open Letter from Booker T gee Institute. An Appea To the Editor of Colorado Statesman: Through the medium of your valued newspaper I desire to say a word to the colored people regarding the importance of good public schools. It has been some months since I have had anything to say on this important subject. I wish to repeat that which I have tried to emphasize from time to time, that there are few, if any subjects, which are of more vital and far-reaching importance to the masses of our race in the country at the present time than that of building up a good public school system. Only a very small per cent of our people can ever go to a large boarding school, or any kind of college, or industrial school for their education. The masses must depend upon the public school in their neighborhood for whatever education they get. If the public school is a failure the masses grow up in ignorance, and so I am making this direct appeal to every minister, teacher and business man and woman throughout the South to take a personal and deep interest in the condition of the Negro public schools. First of all, we should bear in mind that we are American citizens and that we should have our rightful share of the public school fund. Where we are not getting our just share of the public school fund, a direct appeal should be made to the public school authorities for a more just distribution of the public school funds. This kind of appeal should be repeated again and again until we do receive our just share. We should not give up or stand still, in cases where the public school authorities are not willing or unable to give more money. It will be no excuse to the future generation of children, if they grow up in ignorance; to tell them that they might have been educated, if the public school authorities had done their duty. In traveling through the South, I have observed that wherever a good public school house is provided, in most cases, the result is, that the community will have a good teacher and a school term of respectable length. I advise then, that every community set to work to secure either through the public fund or from private gifts in that community a good public school building. In many cases, where people are not able to give money toward, the erection of a good school house, they can give the use of their teams to haul lumber, or they can give material, or give without charge so many days' work each week, but in some way, every community that is now without a comfortable school house should set to work to secure one. In many cases the school houses in which the children are taught are not fit for pigs to live in. The roofs leak, the floors are full of holes, there is no stove, and in many cases, the benches and other furniture are so rude and worthless that it is impossible for teacher and children to stay in such houses without being in continual misery. A school house is not completed until it has been either painted or whi'ewashed on the inside or outside; neither is a school house complete until it has been ceiled or plastered on the inside, and every school house should be thoroughly furnished with good seats; a teacher's desk, with good blackboards, etc., before it should be considered completed. It is almost as cheap to build a good school house as it is to build a poor one. If every community will organize and come together, with the direct object of providing a good school house, I am safe in saying that before the present school year passes, a larger number of communities will have good first-class school houses. I also advise that an architectural plan be drawn, wherever possible, for these school houses. In many cases a good deal of money is practically thrown away in the erection of a building, because no plans have been drawn. Aside from the building being almost useless, when a plan is not drawn, it does not usually present a good appearance. I shall hope to hear, as a result of this letter, that a larger number of communities throughout the South have erected school houses. One other thing: My travels through the South convince me that the public schools for our race are often crippled and weakened by reason of the fact that denominational jealousies and rivalry enter itno the public school system. It should be understood in every community that the public school must be separated wholly from church influences. In some communities, the public school system is weakened because the Baptist element want a Baptist teacher, the African Methodist element want an African Methodist teacher, and the Zion Methodists want a Zion Methodist teacher. This kind of contention and jealousy is all nonsense and results only in weakening the public schools. In some communities, the people are now trying to support three little weak schools, with three differ- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10 1910. ent teachers, representing so many church denominations, when the people in the community should have one good, strong public school, regardless of denomination. In some cases there are three little public schools lasting only three months in the year, when, if the people were united, they might have one good public school lasting seven or eight months in the year. In public school education, there is no Baptist Arithmetic, or Methodist Arithmetic, or anything of the kind. What the people want are good, sensible, moral, upright, Christian teachers, regardless of the church to which they belong. There are other matters in connection with the public schools of the South, to which I shall hope to call attention soon through another letter. (Signed) BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. December 5, 1910. CONFEDERATE GENERAL'S Macon, Ga., Nov. 29.—The address of Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet, wife of the late noted Confederate General James Longstreet, at the Colored State Fair several days ago is being generally commented on in this section of the country. During her address, Mrs. Longstreet said in part: "I speak today not only to the colored race, but to the white men between the two oceans, words they should heed, from a Southern woman of the Anglo-Saxon race, holding Georgia not dearer than Massachusetts; but the high destines of this great republic, and every inch of soil the old flag protects, sacred as the ruddy drops about her heart. "In considering the race problem—that ever increasing burden upon the national conscience—the white man's responsibility looms large and larger. "Our race problems will never be settled in righteousness until the white men of this nation join hands as Christians and patriots, worthy to enjoy the blessings and shape the destinies of the grandest republic on the earth; with no end to serve save the welfare of our great country, through the uplife of that black brother whose keeper we are. "The white man should not longer seek to delude the Negro with dangerous dreams that may never be realized, while the Anglo-Saxon holds this continent. He found here a wilderness and builted the greatest, freest republic the world has known. His antagonism for the Negro on planes of social equality, or equality in the civic offices of this government, is deep seated as life; implanted by the Almighty. It is the old story—old as creation—of the survival of the fittest. "The rewards that belong to worth and achievement should not be withheld because of color or previous condition. This is the language of patriotism. It is the language of Christianity. No man worthy of the protection of the flag that shelters justice and symbolizes freedom to all the world may voice a different conviction. Favors Settlement of Negro Towns. "I believe that one step—perhaps, a short one, but still a step—in the direction of solving the problem, will be found in the settlement of towns and cities by the Negro, in which he will own and control exclusively. Our vast Western territory open inviting fields for experiments along this line; as well as the abandoned farms in the East and South. Small colonies might be established by the Negro in our Pacific island possessions. In the ages to be, may we not hope that the Negro, uplifted by our Western civilization, shall journey back, to have an heroic part in civilizing and Christianizing the continent from which the white man tore him? May not this be the high destiny toward which the race is moving? "But whatever may be our conflicting views on the race question, there is one subject on which the American people do agree. In tribute to the faithfulness of the slaves of the Southern confederacy, all our hearts beat in unison. From '61 to '65, while their masters were fighting that war, the results of which would leave them in shackles or make all men free, they guarded the homes of the Southern confederacy with a fidelity that the pen of literature will one day take hold of and immortalize in all lands—in every tongue. "A little while ago, it was my privilege to assist in the organization of an association for building a monument to the slaves of the Southern confederacy. Whatever race difficulties confronted the South after the Civil War, the old slaves had no part in its making. They remained faithful to the end."—New York Age. Disease Has Freaks. No medical man needs to be told that even disease has its freaks and that recovery has occasionally been brought about by means inexplicably trivial. One of the most remarkable of these unaccountable eccentricities of disease took place at Halver, in Westphalia. The case was that of a boy who, as the result of a very heavy fall backward on his head while skating, had for a year and a half been deaf and dumb. One morning his brother went to awake him, and finding him sleeping heavily tapped him lightly on the forehead. To his amazement the deaf and dumb boy awoke with a loud cry. Both speech and hearing had been restored. Split and Scratch. "Yes, it took all of five minutes to really get my ballot marked the way I wanted it. I never vote straight, anyhow. I'm sure to always split my ticket." "I see you are sure to split your infinitives, too." The Philosopher of Folly. "Robbing Peter to pay Paul never won and never will," says the Philosopher of Folly. "You can't cure a sore throat by wrapping a woolen sock around it if you have to go barefooted to do it." RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Mme. Hackley is suffering so severely with an abcess on her ear that she has decided to abandon her tour with Miss Mary Fitzhugh. Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 29. Within the past five years the Negroes of Macon County, Ala., have raised in cash $20,000 toward building schoolhouses and extending terms. Mrs. Aida Overton Walker states that the doctor has given up all hopes for her husband's recovery and that he is growing weaker all the time. Mr. Walker is now in a private sanitarium in New York city and Mrs. Walker has engaged a private nurse and pays him $50 a week. William H. Mitchell, a wealthy man of a proud family was tried and found guilty of disguising as a Negro woman and assaulting a white girl. Gov. Brown of Georgia has refused to allow the law to deal leniently and insists that the limit be given him. Baltimore, Md., Nov. 30.—The deal has been consummated by which Bethel A. M. E. church secures the handsome property of St. Peter's Episcopal Church, on Druid Hill avenue and Lenvale street, right, in the heart of the best colored residential section. The purchase price is $90,000, and is secured by mortgages. The Washington Herald decries the proposed segregation of the colored people of Baltimore, arguing that such a suggestion of Negroes in a definite section of the city will create a Negro "Ghetto," which would be undesirable from every point of view. The Herald is opposed to the regulation, and is of the opinion that should it become a law, the last condition of the perplexed Baltimoreans will be worse than their first. Washington, Dec. 5.—The possession of one-sixteenth Negro blood brings a person under the classification of "Negro" according to a decision of the district court of appeals today in the case of Isabell I. Wall, 8 years old, against the board of education. The girl was admitted to a white school more than a year ago, but was after excluded on the ground that she was a Negro. The evidence showed that the girl is one sixteenth Negro. NO 13 Robert Harlan, of Ohio, has been engaged for several weeks in examining the books of the various branches of the treasury department as a member of the committee of accounting experts to whom are entrusted the responsibility of recommending changes in method of handling the work of the department in a more economical and business-like manner, without sacrifice of efficiency of administration. Mr. Harlan is filling the bill admirably. Birmingham, Ala., Nov. 29. There has just been completed in this city a firstclass, up-to-date high school for colored children. This is a new building, a brick structure, two stories high, and contains between twenty-five and thirty rooms. It is in every way a modern building, with all the latest appliances and conveniences. The completion of this high school building gives to Birmingham the finest structure of its kind in this part of the South, and all of our citizens are justly proud of the building. Little Rock, Ark.—Ex-Governor J. K. Vardaman, of Mississippi, who has been relegated by the people of his state as a back number, spoke here last night. On the Negro question he said in an appeal: "To the men of the South and the North to take the right to vote from the Negro race and in this way bring the Negroes into a state where they may be controlled. He stated that the Negro children were able to learn as fast as the white children of corresponding ages and conditions, but that the brute spirit to the Negro race prevails and makes all attempts at educating them fruitless." Several years ago the mixed breeds among us had a high day in literature and art. What they did in the way of breaking the shackles was much indeed. There are, seemingly, no more creative writers among us, no novelists, no poets, no painters. Mr. Chestnut is sternly silent; Mr. Tanner is altogether a Frenchman; and not a single man since his day has come within a thousand rods of Dunbar. Mr. Briathwaite's exquisite verse is unhappily too exquisite for the vulgar, upon whose lips depend the power and popularity of all verse. Sutton E. Griggs is a great novelist, but he is too truthful; besides, he has turned to raising money for a preacher's college. We may do nothing save hope.—N. Y. Age. BORM-ALLEY JEWELRY GR.

Prompt Response to Bold Move of President Vall.—"Accuracy" Reduced Western Union's Surplus $13, 000,000—"Publicity" Restored Confidence and Its Stock Went Up. Are the great financiers of the country beginning to see a new light? Time was, until recently in fact, when the men at the head of the big corporations "kept their business to themselves," as far as the law would allow. Capable men at the head of the big concerns, long realized the weakness of their position, but what was needed obviously, as in all great reforms, was an unmistakable occasion and a courageous man. The occasion arose in the purchase of the Western Union Telegraph company by the American Telephone and Telegraph company, and the man appeared in Theodore N. Vail, President of the purchasing company. It was last December when public announcement was made that the Gould holdings of Western Union had been taken over by the Telephone company. On account of the high esteem in which the management of the telephone company is so generally held, great things were predicted as a result of the absorption of Western Union. By the press of the country the "deal" was most favorably commented on, it being widely pointed out that under the direction of such men as Theodore N. Vail and his associates, the telegraph company was bound soon to work itself into a position where it could offer the public far more efficient service than it had ever before been able to offer. But a very few months had elapsed when it became apparent to the new management that a modern and up-to-date appraisal of the company's assets would make possible a far greater degree of efficiency of operation. "Here," they said to themselves, "we've bought control of this property and we know it's immensely valuable, but we don't know just how valuable. These appraisals of real estate and securities owned were made a long time ago. If we have a complete inventory made of every thing we've got we can announce the facts to the public, start a new set of books, and begin our responsibility to stockholders right there." How Inventory Was Taken. The most expert accountants and appraisers to be had were put at the task. Their labors lasted over eight months. Their report and its publication by the company marks an epoch in finance. It began by recommending an adjustment of the difference between the appraised and book values by a charge of $5,595,089 against surplus. Book values of securities held were reduced to market values, bad and doubtful accounts were "charged off," an allowance of $2,000,000 was made for "depreciation," another of $500,000 for "reserve," and so on, until the old surplus of $18,867,000 came down to $5,136,000. It required courage, the publication of this statement to stockholders, saying in effect: "The property of your company has been revalued: the surplus isn't nineteen millions, as you have been led to believe, but five millions," but it was the truth, and President Vall did not filch. "Accuracy and publicity," he declared, was essential. "The stockholder has a right to know. The shares of this company are scattered from one end of the Union to the other. This is more than a private corporation. It is a great national enterprise. The public is entitled to the facts." The report was ordered published forthwith. Financialers of the old school and speculators generally were aghast. What would happen? Would the bottom drop out of Western Union when the shareholders realized that their proptery was worth $13,000,000 less than they had supposed? But the amazing thing happened. The stock went up and stayed up. The public had responded to this remarkable display of frankness and confidence; to the new motto, "Accuracy and Publicity." The full significance of the action of the new board is stated concisely by Harper's Weekly in these words: by Harper's Weekly in these words: "Is this policy of publicity and of open-handed dealing with shareholders and public the forerunner of a similar movement on the part of other big corporations? Certainly it is to be hoped that it is. In the case of these big companies, dependent upon public patronage and doing business under public franchise, can there be any question of the right of the people to know? "That right is being recognized. It is recognized now in this epocalyx act on the part of the telephone and telegraph interests. It is the dawn of a new era in corporation finance." Timelliness. All measures of reformation are effective in exact proportion to their timeliness; partial decay may be cut away and cleansed; incipient error corrected; but there is a point at which corruption can no more be stayed, nor wandering recalled. It has been the manner of modern philanthropy to remain passive until that precise period, and to leave the sick to perish, and the foolish to stray, while it spent itself in frantic exertions to raise the dead, and reform the dust.—Ruskin LITTLE COLORADO ITEMS. Small Happenings Occurring Over the State Worth Telling. Greeley's municipal skating pond is completed. An old-fashioned literary society has been organized in Gill. Three men were instantly killed by a cave-in at Marble. Mrs. Ellen Senton Beckwith died in Longmont, at the age of 92. Fort Collins will be lighted by a combination of gas and electricity. A franchise for lighting the town of Fort Lupton with electricity has been granted. A farmers' union has been organized at Lucerne, with I. F. Read president. Plans are being made for the formation of a county anti-saloon league in Weld county. The population of Grand Junction is 7,755, an increase of 4,252 over the census returns of 1900. A Boulder man has discovered a treatment for gold ores which, if successful will do away with smelting. The automobile of Gus Nietzke ran away on the El Moro near Trinidad, and two persons were seriously injured. It is reported that a grading camp for the Burlington railroad has been established between La Salle and Hudson. Walter Currie, a noted British mining expert, is in Colorado for the purpose of inspecting methods of ore treatment. The seats and pews for the new Baptist church of Greeley have arrived and will be put in place as soon as possible. Denver packers have announced that there have been no reductions of any importance in the wholesale prices on meats. A new postoffice will soon be established about fifteen miles northeast of Grover, probably in the house of G. F. Thorman. The annual institute and fruit fair of the Fremont County Horticultural Society will be held in Canon City the first week in January. The commissioners have appropriated $80,000 for expenses of Jefferson county during 1911, an increase of but $2,000 over last year. A Colorado Springs attorney has received an ear of corn from friends in Iowa which contains 1,200 kernels and weighs over two pounds. Thirty-five miners at the Keystone mine near Colorado Springs went on strike, refusing to work with a new weigher because he was not a union man. Fire completely destroyed a landmark, the old Baptist Church building in Loveland, sold about ten years ago and since used as a business block. The Colorado Telephone Company will spend $200,000 in building an addition to the present offices and making improvements in the system in Pueblo next year. Wattenberg, the youngest town in the county, located on the D. L. & N. W. railroad, has already made a great shipping record, the total being about $36,000 mostly of beets. The El Paso County Ministerial Association of Colorado Springs appointed a committee to arrange for a state conference to be held soon to discuss marriage and divorce evils. About fifty children are now making their homes at the McClelland Orphanage in Pueblo, and more interest than ever is being taken in the institution by the public at large. Builders are taking advantage of the good weather and incidentally the news of the coming of the railroad, with the result that a veritable building boom is now on in Meeker. After going the rounds of the undertakers in Eaton, H. Gottleib said none of their coffins were strong enough for his five-months-old baby and had one made of heavy boards by a carpenter. The announcement of General Manager Clark of the Denver & Rio Grande that work on a new depot will be started by January 1st was received with great rejoicing in Colorado Springs. The famous Meredith case in which the trustees of the Stratton estate of Colorado Springs are being sued for $77,600 by E. A. Meredith, is being retried in District Court on order of the Supreme Court. Because of lack of interest shown by Sons of Veterans the C. J. Stolbrand post was disbanded at Fort Collins. While there are 200 Sons of Veterans in the city, only six regularly attended meetings. Miss Florence Starr of Canon City left for Peking, China, where she will teach English and art as a member of the faculty of the industrial school recently established by the Chinese government from the proceeds of the Boxer war indemnity fund returned to it by the United States. Having obtained a lease of 640 acres of coal land in Weld county along the line of the D. N. & L. W. railroad, the Colorado-Wyoming Coal Company will prospect the land at once, and if good coal is found will open a mine and start operations on a large scale to furnish coal to Denver. Walter Rising, condemned to life imprisonment and hard labor in the penitentiary for the murder of "Wild Horse Jerry" McGahan, has been taken to Canon City from Greeley to begin his sentence.

Greeley.—With increased crews of workmen, building the big electric loop by which the Northern Colorado Power Company will encircle northern Colorado, the entire work will probably be completed within a few weeks, as only the gap between Millikin and Evans remains to be closed. Sues Minister for Plowing. Greeley.—Rev. C. L. Baxter, presiding elder of the Methodist church for the Council Bluffs, Iowa, district, is defendant in a suit now in court involving an alleged breach of contract for $490, claimed by C. W. Cline, plaintiff, as due him from the minister for plowing a large tract of defendant's land near Dover. Cannot See Tax Books. Denver.—A Treasury Department order received by the local internal revenue office announces that the returns made by corporations in compliance with the new corporation tax law will not be open to public inspection but may be examined under certain conditions on the order of the secretary of the treasury. More Money for Colorado. Washington.—Included in the estimates for appropriations submitted to Congress by the secretary of the treasury are the following items: Public Buildings: For continuing work on Denver public building, $1,000,000; for site and commencement of public building at La Junta, $10,000; site and completion of building for Fort Collins, $40,000. Salaries officers of Denver mint, $48,100, an increase of 8,600 over the present year; wages of workmen, $44,000, a decrease of $46,000; contingent expanse, $30,000, a decrease of $10,000. General Thomas Quits Army. Denver.—The Department of the Colorado will have a new commander within the next few weeks, by reason of the fact that Brigadier General Earl D. Thomas, now commanding, will retire January 4, 1911, after having spent forty-nine years in the army service. General Thomas could have retired nine years ago at his own request, as the law provides that after forty years' service in the army a man may retire. General Thomas, however, decided to wait until he was sixty-four, and at that time he has nothing to say about retirement, as the law says he must quit then. Great Irrigation Job Completed Greeley.—According to L. L. Stimson, chief construction engineer for the project, the great North Sterling irrigation system, by which 80,000 acres will be brought under cultivation at a cost of $2,000,000, is practically completed. Engineer Stimson will now begin construction of the Sedgwick reservoir, in Sedgwick county, to irrigate 19,000 acres and cost $700,000. Instead of the water decreasing in the Platte river, in the northeastern part of the state, because of the drain on it from reservoirs and ditches near its source, its flow here has greatly increased during the last few years because of seepage from the vast irrigated tracts. When Potatoes Will Freeze. Fort Collins.—As Colorado is being settled by corn growers, many of whom do not realize their need to learn new ways when they become potato growers, it is distressing to see so many of them regard the time of potato harvest as optional, somewhat like corn husking or beet harvest says C. T. Fitch, Colorado Agricultural College. The experience of years has established dates past which it is dangerous to leave potatoes in the ground subject to heavy frost losses. Waiting for potatoes to ripen is not wise; it is better to devise ways to ripen the earlier another season and save what is on hand this time. At 7,000 to 8,000 feet altitude October 1st is about the danger line and October 10th is very risky for the completion of potato field work. At Greeley, Colorado, the leases used to read October 20th, but the growers feel safer to be done several days sooner, as damage has occurred on the 16th. Lower still, about Julesburg, for instance, October 20th is quite safe. Old growers recognize these limits of safety. New ones will do well to adopt them. East Walking. Ault.—After wagering that he could walk from the Ault depot to the Eaton depot, four and seven-tenths miles in 35 minutes, Robert W. Riddell, a druggist here, made the trip in just 22 minutes, making a mile in less than five minutes. Killed Same as Father. Greeley.—Meeting death in the same way as did his father twenty years ago, B. S. Thompson, aged 20, of Windsor, was caught between two cars at Pierce and instantly killed. SYSTEM FULL OF URIC ACID---THE GREAT KIDNEY REMEDY CURED Two years ago I was very sick and after being treated by several of the best physicians in Clinton, I did not seem to get any better. I was confined to my bed. Seeing your Swamp-Root advertised, I resolved to give it a trial. After using it for three weeks, I found I was gaining nicely, so I continued until I have taken a number of bottles. I am now restored to health and have continued my labors. My system was full of Uric acid, but Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root cured me entirely. I am sixty-years old. State of Iowa Clinton County On this 13th day of July, A. D., 1908, W. C.

Thousands of men and women who have felt the sting and torture of that dread disease, Rheumatism, which is no respecter of age, persons, sex, color or rank, will be interested to know that it is one of the easiest afflictions of the human body to conquer. Medical science has proven it not a distinct disease in itself, but a symptom caused by inactive kidneys. Rheumatism is uric acid in the blood and other waste products of the system which should be filtered and strained out in the form of urine. The function of the kidneys is to sift these poisons and acids out and keep the blood clean and pure. The kidneys however, are of sponge-like substance, the holes or pores of which will sometimes, either from overwork, cold or exposure become clogged, and falling in their function of eliminating these poisons from the blood, they remain in the veins, decompose and settling about the joints and muscles, cause the untold suffering and pain of rheumatism and backache, often producing complications of bladder and urinary disease, and general weakness. The following simple prescription is said to relieve the worst cases of rheumatism because of its direct action upon the blood and kidneys, relieving, too, the most severe forms of bladder and urinary troubles: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. The ingredients can be had from any prescription pharmacy, and are absolutely harmless and safe to use at any time. POST OFFICE 1763 CURTIS STREET BONDED WHISKIES PHONE MAIN M.

The new Army made up of members of being colored representative, especial to Europe" not to accuse them to have given in of the colored people in the a strongly-worded argument and his supporters in a bid between our thought leader and talk. The appeal is signed of the Odd Fellows; Biscay State United States Consul to Vladivostok, Siberia, and Washington's great optimism it are called the manhood hope shall not believe that the colored American are are social, social and industrial than should be reasonably friends are beginning to say off in the United States ever treated here than he is countries appealed to. But none of it will probably have just starting, Mr. Washington A big talk has started in the East. The new Association for the Advancement of Colored People, made up of members of both races and of which W. E. B. Du Bois is the leading colored representative, with headquarters in New York, has issued an "Appeal to Europe" not to accept the assurances which Booker T. Washington is alleged to have given in his recent lectures in Europe that the conditions of the colored people in the United States are satisfactory. The appeal is a strongly-worded argument which will undoubtedly involve Mr. Washington and his supporters in a big argument. It is a breaking out of an old feud between our thought leaders which promises no great outcome other than a big talk. The appeal is signed by such men as Edward H. Morris, Grand Master of the Odd Fellows; Bishop Walters, Bishop Caldwell, Archibald Grinke, late United States Consul to Santo Domingo, Richard T. Greener, ex-Consul to Vladivostok, Siberia, and Mr. Du Bois, all of whom are big talkers. Mr. Washington's great optimism and conciliatory policies are confronted with what are called the manhood rights of the race and the expressed desire that Europe shall not believe that the well-known abuses and constant complaints of the colored American are accepted as necessary evils attendant upon his political, social and industrial development, or that his hardships are no greater than should be reasonably expected. Mr. Washington's friends are beginning to say, with Mr. Roosevelt, that the colored man is better off in the United States than anywhere else in the world, and that he is better treated here than he is in any of the African colonies of the European countries appealed to. But none of the argument on either side is new, and none of it will probably have any great effect upon the white people anywhere. With the big talk just starting, Mr. Washington is yet to be heard from. SOCIALIST ACTIVITY. nounced that the Socialists of Oklahoma in their politics other reliable, the idea is no way of conducting special instead of making their effect educational results and so on. They have been made IT is unofficially announced that the Socialists are undertaking to interest the colored people in Oklahoma in their political propaganda. While the information is not altogether reliable, the idea is not to be entirely discredited for the Socialists have a way of conducting special local campaigns where conditions are favorable, instead of making their efforts general, having found, we presume, that greater educational results and surer ultimate successes can be achieved in this manner. They have been making special efforts in Oklahoma for some time, without any apparent intention of mixing in the race question, but the recent act of the dominant Democratic party in bringing into a new state the deplorable disfranchising tactics of the old slave states has created an opening under conditions not found elsewhere. The colored population of Oklahoma is composed of individuals who were intelligent enough and independent enough to leave unfavorable conditions in their old homes and become pioneers in a new and promising territory. Such bold spirits, of whatever race and from wherever they may come, do not make bad citizens nor unfit voters. They are no menace to the welfare or liberty of any commonwealth, but rather represent an asset on the side of the state's native wealth and power of productiveness. For they take up lands, till them, raise crops and become active producers, even though they may not be as competent farmers or as skilled artisans as their better prepared white neighbors. At any rate, there is no legitimate reason for denying them the righteous privilege of the ballot, outside of the might of a narrow, undemocratic sentiment, which seeks permanent political advantage upon the strength of a race prejudice too blind to see the final injury to the state that must follow in the wake of unnecessary and unjust political restrictions. Nowhere do white Republicans seem to deem it wise to force a final test of these disfranchising statutes, and therefore it remains for some new and bolder political force to essay the demonstration of a universal ideal which hides no fear of men, classes or conditions in its broad schemes of political and social economy. At such a difficult point the ideal Socialist is content to start. If there is anything wrong with his fundamental scheme of social adjustment, at least his heart is right and he is courageous. We are not disposed, therefore, to distrust his advances or discredit his claims. As to whether the colored man will make a good Socialist it is difficult to prophesy. In the present stage of Socialism's doctrinal development the result appears doubtful. The theory has not proven itself a complete cure for race prejudice in America, despite the protests of its leaders. Socialism is declared by its critics to be founded upon a concrete form of class prejudice, but so is the opposition to it. There is a kind of selfishness in all politics, but the greatest good and the most exact justice to the greatest number is not the settled principle of present-day rule. A political adventure of some kind is due the colored American, and in the face of the menacing policies of Democratic disfranchisement and Republican non-resistance, he may be driven to the nearest and most promising refuge. TO MAKE RICH BISCUIT TO MAKE RICH BISCUIT VARIOUS RECIPES FOR MIXING THE DOUGH. A Measure of Flour, Add Salt, Baking Powder, Milk and Lard—Handle Mixture as Little as Possible —Mix With Knife. "America seems to be peculiar in its impromptu bakings of Parker house rolls, biscuits, and 'johnny cake,'" says a recent writer, summarizing the experience of a round-the-world traveler with breads, brod, etc. Just why the biscuit, and particularly the baking powder biscuit, should be considered such a dainty I could never understand. Perhaps it is because it really does require considerable skill to make it. Cream biscuits were my own first proud accomplishment, but their making was forced upon me, albeit my efforts were rewarded with a bouquet which I did not deserve, because so much had been done for me that they could not be a failure. It is easy to understand why beaten biscuit should be considered something fine, but as for the other, it is easy to see why the unsophisticated Englishman, accustomed to calling all forms of crackers biscuits, should not be altogether satisfied with some of the things he gets in America called biscuits. Hot Biscuit I.—To one pint of sifted flour add a half teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon of baking powder, and sift again. Work in very lightly with the fingers a tablespoon of lard. When thoroughly mixed cut into it with a knife about one cup of ice cold milk. Roll out on a well floured board about three-fourths of an inch thick and cut with biscuit cutter. Bake in hot oven. The secret of good biscuit is to have the dough very soft, to handle it as little as possible, and to bake in a very quick oven. Hot Biscuit II.—One quart of flour a pinch of salt, two tablespoons of lard, two teaspoons of baking powder. Wet up with cold water, roll out softly an inch thick, and bake in quick oven. Biscuits made with lard and water are much lighter and better than when butter is used. Quick Biscuit.—Two cups of flour, one-half teaspoon of salt, three tablespoons of lard, three teaspoons of baking powder, one cup of water. Sift all the dry ingredients into a bowl and rub the lard lightly through them. Stir in the water, drop the dough into greased gem pans, and bake in a quick oven. Emergency Biscuit I.—Two cups of flour, four teaspoons of baking powder, one-half teaspoon of salt, two tablespoons of snowdrift, one cup of milk. Mix shortening with flour to which salt and baking powder have been added. Add milk. Drop mixture from spoon, allowing about one tablespoon to each biscuit. Bake 20 minutes in moderate oven. This makes from 12 to 14 biscuits. Emergency Biscuit II.—Two cups of flour, four teaspoons of baking powder, one-half teaspoon of salt, two tablespoons of butter, one-half cup of milk, one-half cup of water. Sift dry ingredients, cut in butter, add milk and water gradually. Drop mixture in greased muffin tins and bake in a hot oven 12 minutes. Che Home In preparing eggplant press it under water instead of just salting, as is customary. This prevents the vegetable from turning black and keeps it much crisper. Tomatoes cannot be cooked in a hurry. If you cannot give them at least an hour, preferably two, do without them for that time. They will taste raw and offend the palate of one who knows how they should taste. Never use sand soap on a porcelainlined tub or washstand. There is no surer way to ruin the enamel. What's the use of soap? It means only extra work, and here is always the coal oil rag, which is better. Lamp chimneys can be quickly cleaned by holding the hand over one end and putting the other end over the spout of a simmering teakettle. Rub at once with a smooth cloth or tissue paper. Mahogany and other hard woods can be kept in good condition by wiping off with a chamois skin wrung from cold water and immediately polishing with a dry piece of chamois. 8quash Ple. A pint of steamed, mashed and strained squash, two cups of milk, one cup of sugar, two eggs beaten light, half a teaspoon of ginger, one teaspoon mixed mace and cinnamon. Beat all well together and bake with under crust only. Before buying canned fruits and meats see if the top is flat or depressed.

ANNUAL DOCUMENT IS READ Conservation, Ship Subsidy and Fortification of Panama Canal Leading Topics Discussed—Has Little to Say About Tariff. Washington, Dec. 6.—Economy in government affairs is the keynote of President Taft's annual message read before both houses of congress today. The message approximates 40,000 words and is one of the longest ever submitted by a president. Conservation of the public domain, ship subsidy, fortification of the Panama canal and the continuation of the present tariff board are the leading subjects touched upon. He also reviews the work of the various government departments and concurs in recommendation, tending toward the bettering of the service, made by several of the members of his cabinet. Economy Is Urged. In dwelling on the urgent need for economy in government expenditures, the president says: "Every effort has been made by each department chief to reduce the estimated cost of his department for the ensuing fiscal year ending June 30, 1912. I say this in order that congress may obtain that these estimates thus made present the smallest sum which will maintain the departments, bureaus and offices of the government and meet its other obligations under existing law, and that a cut of these estimates would result in embarrassing the executive branch of the government in the performance of its duties. This is in order to ensure that harbor estimates, except to those for expenses of maintenance and the meeting of obligations under authorized contracts, nor does it apply to the public building bill nor to the navy building program. Of course, as to these congress could withhold any part or all of the estimates for them, nor does it apply to the ordinary obligations of these functions of its departments, bureaus and offices. "Against the estimates of expenditures $40,494,013.12, we have estimated receipts for next year $80,000,000, making a probable surplus of ordinary receipts over ordinary expenditures of about $50,000,000, or taking into account the estimates for the Panama canal, which are $60,930,847.69, and $50,000,000, respectively, it will leave a deficit for the next year of about $7,000,000, if congress shall conclude to fortify the canal." Wants Forest Limitation Removed. On the subject of conservation he devotes considerable space to forest, coal, oil and gas, phosphate lands and water sites. As to the reservation of forest lands he says: "The law now prohibits the reservation of any more forest lands in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Colorado and Wyoming, except by act of congress. I am informed by the department of agriculture that the owner own other tracts of timber land in these states which should be included in the forest reserves. I recommend to congress that the limitation herein imposed be repealed. "Congress ought to trust the executive to use the power of reservation only with respect to land most valuable for forest administration, 62,250,000 acres of land largely non-timbered have been excluded from forest reserves, and 3,200,000 acres of land principally valuable for forest purposes have been included in forest reserves, making a reduction in forest reserves of non-timbered land amounting to 2,750,000 Wants Canal Fortified. Regarding the Panama canal, the president asserts that unless unexpected obstacles arise the waterway will be completed well within time limit of January 1, 1915, and within estimate of cost, $755,000,000. Suggestions for levying tolls and management are made, and regarding fortification of the canal, he says: "Among questions arising for present solution is the decision whether the canal shall be fortified. I have already stated to the congress that I strongly favor fortification and I now reiterate this opinion and ask your consideration of the subject in the light of the report already before you made by a competent board. "Failure to fortify the canal would leave the attainment of both these aims in the position of rights and obligations with which the canal was never intended and which could never in any way be absolutely safeguarded against a desperate and irresponsible enemy." Ship Subsidy. The president urges such action as he believes will increase American trade abroad, and says:: "Another instrumentality indispensable to the unhampered and natural development of American commerce is merchant marine. We must recognize the importance of this factor. The greatest commercial nations, our competitors, jealously foster their merchant marine. Perhaps nowhere is the need for rapid and direct mail, passenger and freight communication quite so urgent as between the United States and Canada. We can expect another quarter of the world such immediate benefits in friendship and commerce as would flow from the establishment of direct lines of communication with the countries of Latin America adequate to meet the requirements of a rapid and efficient proximal dependence of the countries of the western hemisphere upon each other's products, sympathies and assistance. "I alluded to this most important subject in my last annual message; it has often been before you and I need not recapitulate the reasons for its recommendation, but I will tell you the completion of the Panama canal will find this the only great commercial na- A Quick Recovery. "It seems that prizefighters never 'come back.'" "Maybe not, but 'blind tigers' do. One resumed business the other day in 15 minutes after it had been raided." Depending on Chance. "I wonder why there are so many failures in the world." "Probably because so many people go through life hoping to win some day on a 100-to-1 shot." tion unable to avail in international maritime business of this great contribution to the means of the world's commercial intercourse." Criticism of the Tariff. In the space devoted to the tariff the president says: "The schedules of the rates of duty in the Payne tariff act have been subjected to a great deal of criticism, some of it just, more of it unfounded, and too much misrepresentation. The act was adopted in pursuance of a declaration by the party which is responsible for it that customs bill should be a tariff for the protection of home industries, the measure of the protection to be the difference between the cost of producing and the cost of producing it at home, together with such addition to that difference as might give a reasonable profit to the home producer. The basis for the criticism of this tariff is that in respect to a number of the schedules the declared measure was not followed, but a higher difference retained or inserted by way of undue discrimination in favor of certain industries and manufactures. Little, if any, of the criticism of the tariff has been directed against the protective shipship aboard ships in the body of the criticism has been based on the attempt to conform to the measure of protection was not honestly and sincerely adhered to." The president also refers to the appointment of a board of experts to investigate the cost of production of various articles included in the schedules of the tariff, and asks, "Whether or not the protective policy is to be continued, and the degree of protection to be accorded to our home industries, are questions which the people must decide through their chosen representatives. But whatever policy is adopted, it should be based on an impartial, thorough and continuous study of the facts." Recommends Parcels Post The adoption of the parcel post is again adopted. On this subject President Taft says: "With respect to the parcel post, I respectfully recommend its adoption on all rural delivery routes, and that 11 pounds—the international limit—be made the limit of carriage in such post. The same argument is made against the parcel post that was made against the postal savings bank—that it is introducing the government into a business which should be conducted by private persons and is paternalism. The postoffice department has a great plant and a great organization, reaching into the most remotebarlet of the United States, and with this it is able to do much more things economically than if a new organization were necessary it would be impossible to do without extravagant expenditures." Department of Justice. Discussing the affairs of the department of justice, the president says: "I invite especial attention to the prosecutions under the federal law of the so-called 'bucket shops,' and, of those schemes to defraud in which the use of the mail is an essential part of the fraudulent conspiracy, prosecutions which have saved ignorant and weak members of the public and are saving them hundreds of millions of dollars. The violations of the anti-trust law present perhaps the most important litigation before the department, and the number of cases filed shows the activity of the government in enforcing the statute. In special message last year I brought to the attention of congress the propriety and wisdom of enacting a general law providing for the incorporation of industrial and other companies engaged in interstate commerce, and I renew my recommendation in that behalf." The crying need in the United States of cheapening the cost of litigation by simplifying judicial procedure and expediting final judgment is pointed out and action looking to correction of these evils is urged. The president recommends an increase in the salaries of federal judges. Postal Affairs. In regard to postal matters the president points with pride to its present efficient management and the recent reduction in the deficit. The present unrestricted budget is a positive comment with a suggestion for the adoption of better methods for its regulation. Abolish Navy Yards. The president calls attention to certain reforms urged by the secretary of the navy which he recommends for adoption, and continues: "The secretary of the navy has given personal examination to every navy yard, and has studied the uses of the navy in the fleet. Reefer to the necessities of our fleet. With a fleet considerably less than half the size of that of the British navy, we have shipyards more than double the number, and there are several of these shipyards expensively equipped with modern machinery, which, after investigation the secretary of the navy believes to be entirely useless for the tasks authority abandon certain of the men and to move their machinery to other places, where it can be made of use." Speaking of our foreign relations the president says: "During the past year the foreign relations of the United States have continued upon a basis of friendship and good understanding. The navy has been mottled as witnessing the pacific movement of two important international controversies before the permanent court of The Hague. "The arbitration of the fisheries dispute between the United States and Great Britain, which has been the source of nearly continuous diplomatic correspondence since the fisheries convention of 1818, which has satisfactorily to both parties. This arbitration is particularly noteworthy not only because of the eminently just results secured, but also because it is the first arbitration held under the general arbitration treaty of April 4, 1908, between the United States and Great Britain, and disposes of a controversy the settlement of which has resisted every other resource of diplomacy which has been the cause of friction between two countries whose common interest lies in maintaining the most friendly and cordial relations with each other. President Taft makes a few recommendations for changes in the interstate commerce law and says: "Except as above, I do not recommend any amendment to the interstate commerce law as it stands. I do not now recommend any amendment to the antitrust law. In other words, it seems to that the existing legislation with respect to the regulation of corporations and the restraint of their business has reached a point where we can stop for a while and witness the effect of the vigorous execution of the laws of the statute books in restraining the abuses which certainly did exist and which roused the public to demand reform."

Boston Billings—Ah! ma'am, I assure you the double negative is a solecism I've never been guilty of. Benny on Benevolence. Benevolence is a great thing. When you have benevolence you cannot rest until you do something to make other people feel grateful to you. The other day my mamma went up into the attic to find a lot of old clothes to give to poor people who could not afford to buy any clothing for themselves. While she was hunting around she found a gold-headed cane worth $25 that grandpa had put up there 18 years ago, and forgot all about. Thus we see, dear friends, benevolence brings its own reward.—Benny. An Unmistakable Hint An Unmistakable Hint. "Young Staylate got a delicate hint from the young lady he was calling on the other evening." "What was it?" "She found looking at the clock and other familiar devices useless, so she ordered some refreshments and her mother sent her a plate of breakfast food."

Retail Rg. Co., 745-47E, 3200S, Chicago RED CROSS SEAL IN HISTORY First Used During the American Civil War—Now an Aid in Fighting Tuberculosis. Red Cross Christmas seals date back in their origin to "charity stamps," first used for the soldiers' relief funds in Boston in 1862, during the Civil war. After the war, this method of raising money was discontinued in this country for a generation, although it found vogue in Portugal, Switzerland, Australia, France, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Russia, Sweden and other European countries. There are now several hundred different types of charity stamps used in all parts of the world. Stamps or seals were first used to get money for the anti-tuberculosis crusade in Norway and Sweden in 1904. After being used in these countries for three years, as a direct result of the interest of Jacob Rils in Tuberculosis association, headed by this movement, the Delaware Anti-Miss Emily P. Bissell, and the Red Cross society of Delaware combined in issuing a tuberculosis stamp. So successful was this campaign that nearly $3,000 was realized, and the next year, in 1908, the American Red Cross was induced to issue a national Red Cross tuberculosis stamp. From this sale, $135,000 was realized, that amount being almost doubled in 1909. This year, for the first time, the sale is organized on a comprehensive basis, taking in all parts of the United States. A million for tuberculosis work is confidently expected. Old Pete's Little Joke. Foolish questions and funny answers were under discussion in the Trenton avenue and Dauphin street police station the other day, and after listening for a while to some amusing instances, Sergeant McCay told the following: "Old Pete Flood was the attendant in the Franklin cemetery some years ago, and it became the custom to ask him how business was, just to hear his reply. It came in a heavy bass voice: "'Alnt buried a living soul today.'" —Philadelphia Times. Anything that interferes with good health is apt to keep cheerfulness and good humor in the background. A Washington lady found that letting coffee alone made things bright for her. She writes: "Four years ago I was practically given up by my doctor and was not expected to live long. My nervous system was in a bad condition. "But I was young and did not want to die so I began to look about for the cause of my chronic trouble. I used to have nervous spells which would exhaust me and after each spell it would take me days before I could sit up in a chair. "I became convinced my trouble was caused by coffee. I decided to stop it and bought some Postum. "The first cup, which I made according to directions, had a soothing effect on my nerves and I liked the taste. For a time I nearly lived on Postum and ate little food besides. I am today a healthy woman. "My family and relatives wonder if I am the same person I was four years ago, when I could do no work on account of nervousness. Now I am doing my own housework, take care of two babies—one twenty the other two months old. I am so busy that I hardly get time to write a letter, yet I do it all with the cheerfulness and good humor that comes from enjoying good health. "I tell my friends it is to Postum I owe my life today." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." Ever read the above letter! A new one appears from time to time. They assume, true, and full of human interest. WAS JEALOUS; HE KILLS TWO GRAND VALLEY MAN SHOOTS WOMAN AND KILLS SELF. MAN 60 YEARS OLD HAS WIFE AND DAUGHTER LIVING IN COLORADO San Francisco.—Stopping the elevator midway between two floors of the hotel which they conducted as partners, James Whitley fired four bullets into the body of Mrs. Julia Bartley and then cut his own throat and immersed himself in a filled bathtub. Both will die. Whitley was a prominent citizen of the Grand valley, Colo., where he still owns a large orchard. He was a deputy sheriff of Mesa county at one time. His wife and daughter in Grand Junction have been in regular correspondence with him. He was about sixty years old. Mrs. Bartley, who is thirty-five, is the divorced wife of Benjamin S. Bartley, a wealthy grocer of Oakland. Shortly after her divorce she met Whitley here. The police say Whitley had deserted a wife and daughter in Grand Junction, Colo., just before he met Mrs. Bartley. From this city the two went to Salt Lake, returning with a stable full of racehorses. Returning here last August they purchased the hotel in which the shooting took place, and conducted it under the firm name of Whitley & Webb, Mrs. Bartley having resumed her maiden name. The police say Mrs. Bartley was out today and Whitley awaited her return in the elevator after relieving the operator. Without noticing that her partner was operating it, Mrs. Bartley entered the elevator, which was brought to a stop between the first and second floors. Telling her to kiss him good-bye, Whitley drew a revilver, and on her refusal to comply fired five times, three bullets striking her in the abdomen and the fourth lodging in her chest. The fifth shot went wild. Leaving the elevator, Whitley sent it with its bleeding burden to the top of the shaft and rushed to Mrs. Bartley's room, where he cut his throat with a paper-knife. Hotel employees and a patrolman forced open the door of Mrs. Bartley's room and found Whitley trying to drown himself in a bathtub. Many Hurt In Riot. Toronto, Ont.—A riot, remarkable for its spontaneity and for its fierceness while it lasted, resulted in the injury of eighteen men, the complete wrecking of eleven street cars and the shattering of the windows in over 100 more. For two hours a mob of several thousand people surged back and forth on the principal business thoroughfares, demolishing every street car that came within reach and completely tying up traffic. The trouble started when the street car company installed pay-as-you-enter cars. Ballinger-Pinchot Investigation. Washington.—The Ballinger-Pinchot investigating committee, after eleven months' work made its final report to Congress. In the opinion of seven Republican members, a majority of the committee, Secretary—Ballinger "honestly and faithfully performed the duties of his high office whit an eye single to the public interest." In the opinion of the four Democrats Mr. Ballinger "has not been true to the trust reposed in him as secretary of the interior and should be requested by the proper authorities to resign."

PAGE FROM A ROMANCE Conversation, However, Reads a Whole Lot More Like a Scene In Real Life. "And so your father refuses to con- gent to our union?" "He does Rodolphus." The sad youth swallowed a sob. "Is there nothing left for us, then, but an elopement?" said he. "Nothing." "Do you think, Clementine, that you could abandon this luxurious home, forget all the enjoyments of great wealth, banish yourself forever from your devoted parents' hearts, and go west with a poor young man to enter a home of lifelong poverty and self-denial?" "I could, Rodolphus." The sad youth rose wearily and reached for his hat. "Then," said he, "you are far from being the practical girl I have all along taken you to be." And with one last look around on the sumptuousness that some day he had hoped to share, he sobbed and said farewell.-Browning's Magazine. 16 YEARS OF SKIN DISEASE "For sixteen long years I have been suffering with a bad case of skin disease. While a child there broke out a red sore on the legs just in back of my knees. It waxed from bad to worse, and at last I saw I had a bad skin disease. I tried many widely known doctors in different cities but to no satisfactory result. The plague bothered me more in warm weather than in winter and being on my leg joints it made it impossible for me to walk, and I was forced to stay indoors in the warmest weather. My hopes of recovery were by this time spent. Sleepless nights and restless days made life an unbearable burden. At last I was advised to try the Cuticura remedies [Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills] and I did not need more than a trial to convince me that I was on the road of success this time. I bought two sets of the Cuticura Remedies and after these were gone I was a different man entirely. I am now the happiest man that there is at least one true care for skin diseases. Leonard A. Hawtof, 11 Nostrand Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y., July 30 and Aug. 8, '09." MERELY A THEORY. Landlady—Dear me! What a peculiar odor! It smells like a piece of burning rubber. Sarcastic Boarder—Perhaps.

Hat of stitched velvet swathed with soft silk. Materials required: Four yards cloth 48 inches wide, one dozen yards A Little Thought and Time Alone Necessary to Produce An Art tistic Effect. A knack for arranging flowers may be developed into a great gift by the girl who wishes to add to her per- sonality the charm of varied accom- plishments. Even in elaborate establishments the most exquisite and expensive hot- house blossoms are often poorly arranged. They are left to servants who are ignorant of artistic effect, and so lose half their beauty. If a girl has a pretty gift of this sort she may often have occasion to use it at week-end parties and so lift a large item of worry from the har- assed mind of the house party hostess and at the same time gain for her- self the reputation of being a most satisfactory guest. At country houses where flowers are brought every day from the hot houses only a little time every morning need be given to seeing that the vases are freshly filled and taste displayed in their arrangement. But if one is staying in a simpler house then more time is required for the exercise of this happy gift, as the flowers must be picked as well as arranged. If there is a clock and pair of candlesticks or vases of bronze on the mantle, surround them with ivy or a groundwork of caladium leaves, filled in with the clusters of pink dahlia, which must be put into small bowls of water that are hidden by the greenery. Or, remove the ornaments and have seven white candles graduated in pyramid fashion, the tallest in the center. Each candle must be stuck firmly into a small can filled with sand and hidden by the foliage. The floral arrangements should conform with the candles, graduating in pyramid style. This arrangement has a striking effect at night when the same flowers are piled in like manner on the dinner table. A more simple idea can be carried out by filling a shallow pan with wet sand and imbedding the candles in this. Then fill the pan with flowers or merely asparagus fern in the center with a border of white, pink or yellow chrysanthemums, set singly and primly in. Cheap Cuff Linke. Cuff links of good quality are far from inexpensive, and the inferior ones mounted in brass are apt to stain ones linen. A good substitute is to purchase the pretty pearl buttons which sell two for five cents; choose either the kind with shanks or with holes. Whatever style is chosen, bind them in pairs with a loop of silk cord to form sleeve links. They will be found serviceable and neat. Buttons that have been tubbed are not so desirable, as washing destroys the luster of the pearl. To Fasten Flowers. To wear a cluster of flowers or a single blossom on a tailor-made coat, sew a little loop of heavy braid underneath the collar lapel with the ends sewed together at the outer edge, just under the buttonhole. In this way flowers can be attached without sticking a pin into delicate cloth just where it will show most. It is a plan adopted by men also for their boutonieres and a very useful one. braid, two dozen buttons, four yards silk for lining coat to hips. On the right is a lady's coat, and would look well in serge or cloth. It has a panel back and front, and fastens below the revers, which are faced with material; small buttons and loops of braid trim these, also the cuffs. Hat of soft felt trimmed with feathers. Materials required: Four and one-half yards serge 48 inches wide, $1\frac{1}{2}$ dozen buttons, $4\frac{1}{2}$ yards silk for lining to hips. Recently Devised Garment That Sure Has Many Points of Ex- Women generally might be interested in hearing about a work dress that is evidently convenient. It is made like a coat, is fitted in the back, while the fronts are cut so large they fold over as far as the underarms. Just at this point a short belt is sewed to each front and corresponding slits are left in the underarm seams. The dress is cut square in the neck and has long sleeves. It is open all the way down the front and put on like a coat. The fronts cross and the belts pass through the slits, buttoning in the back. Only a few minutes are necessary to adjust the dress, and for slipping on to get an early breakfast or over a good gown to get dinner at night it cannot be excelled. Again, as the frocks are double when the one front becomes solled the other can be placed over it and conceal the soil so that the frock lasts twice as long as the usual model housework dress. - Made from a piece of wide flounce embroidery threaded with ribbon, which forms the shoulder strap. To Make Stockings Last. In order to make new stockings last beyond their time one clever woman rubs paraffin on the heels and toes before putting the stockings on. They wear wonderfully under this treatment. Another woman who considers this method uncomfortable (though, really, it is not so) runs a stocking darner into her new hostery and darns it round and round at heel and toe with fine darning cotton. Done once, it never seems to be needed again, and the stockings last practically forever. Some of the new traveling coats have pockets almost as big as handbags.
