The following resolutions were adopted today: The National Negro Business League, in twelfth annual session assembled, finds many things for which the race and the country may well rejoice. The movement among the Negroes of this country to buy land, establish commercial institutions, schools and other organizations, which are growing stronger each year. The race, has recognized the truth that the standard by which it is to be measured in its permanent place is that which has been applied to all other elements which enter into our common citizenship. "Having by reason of past conditions been deprived of capital training and opportunity to enter the field of manufacture, transportation and commerce, we necessarily turn our attention almost exclusively to agriculture. But now under the stimulus of this organization we are starting upon the more expanded economic stage so necessary to our full development. "We find that since our last session more banks have been started, more commercial enterprises and stores opened, and more manufactories begun than any other single year in our history. We believe that the ownership of land, the acquisition of an education, the improvement of the home, both as to its appearance and the inner life and loyalty to the teachings of Christ are the foundations upon which civilization may be closed. "On every moral issue we urge our race at the ballot box to align itself with the forces of law and order and civic righteousness. No man can be permanently kept out of place which belongs to him by reason of his usefulness as a factor in the industrial life of the community. His character as a man and his ability to look upon matters of general public and general concern, with a vision wide enough to protect the interests of all. "We are profoundly grateful for the interest shown in our progress by the best element of the white people, both North and South. Their spoken word of cheer and their deeds of kindness speak in louder tones than words and have done much to inspire us. "In all the history of this movement nowhere has this feeling of sympathy, friendship and real Christian expression found a more pronounced expression than here in Little Rock—the city where any Negro should be glad to be counted a citizen. We can hardly find words strong enough to express our gratitude to Governor Donaghey for his masterly address to us, which not only evinces the type of Christian sympathy, but to our minds the highest type of statesmanship. "We feel it due to the colored citizens of Little Rock concerning our entertainment to say in the language of the Bible, 'Thou excelest them all.' DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 26 1911. "We congratulate our race upon the remarkable showing made by those communities composed entirely of members of our race. Their record for ability to initiate and maintain enterprises, to establish and enforce law and order and to win the respect and even the admiration of the people of their State and the country is not only a source of encouragement to our own race, but is the finest possible concrete argument that the Negro is worthy of citizenship. "We hope that the great fraternal organizations among our race will either establish financial institutions of their own or let the millions that they own be used to strengthen our financial institutions already established. We reaffirm our faith in wisdom, judgment and purity of purpose of our leader, Booker T. Washington, and believe that under his safe and sane leadership the race will climb step by step into full and complete citizenship." A petition to Congress was read by the same committee which read: "The National Negro Business League in twelfth annual session do renew out petition to the President of the United States favoring the bill ta pay the balance due the depositors in the Freedman Savings and Trust Company, and to establish a National Memorial Home for aged and infirm colored people and working girls out of the money due the estates of the deceased colored soldiers, sailors and marines of the Civil War that cannot be paid to the individuals as a matter of justice." The resolution asked that the matter be referred to the President of the United States, and ask him to renew his recommendation to the Sixty-seconv Congress that was made to the sixiy-first, and also a copy be sent to the chairman of the committees having charge of these measures. After considerable minor business and several addresses by individual members of the organization, the league abjourned to meet in Chicago in 1912.—The Arkansas Democrat. New Orleans, August 15.—President Arthur Barclay, of Liberia, has conferred upon the Hon. Emmett J. Scott, of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., and Dr. George Sale, of Atlanta, Ga., the order of Knight Commander of African Redemption, and has authorized Bishop I. B. Scott, who is now in this city, to represent him in making the formal presentation. This will be done as soon as the bishop receives the jewels; the certificates have already been received. **QUIRKING** A man who plays at his work should remember that he isn't the only one on the job who may be entitled to happiness. - Atchison Globe. RACE NEWS TOMPKINS DINING HALL, TUSKEGEE INSTITUE, ALABAMA. In this building 1,700 students during the school term take their meals three times daily. It is the largest dining hall for colored students anywhere in the world. The building also contains an assembly room with a seating capacity of 2,500, a teachers' dining room with accomodations for 200, kitchens, and a large bakery which supplies the needs of the school and of the Institute community. The tables in the dining hall are neatly arranged and decorated with flowers, and it is a most interesting sight to see the whole student body at a meal. The next session of the Tuskegee Norraal and Industrial Institute opens Tuesday, September 12th. Canterbury, Conn., August 15. The state of Connecticut will erect a monument here to Prudence Crandall, who preceding the Civil War, founded a school for Negro children and was a leader in aiding slaves to secure their freedom by the underground" route to Canada. One dollar bills bearing the signature of Register J. C. Napier have been issued Five dollar bills are to appear shortly. Mrs. Napier was presented with the first of the new bills that came from the press at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Cardiff, Wales, Aug. 15. The police today charged a mob of 500 striking Negro seamen who had started on attack against the officers of the shipping companies. The police used their billies freely and a dozen of the Negroes, were taken ta a hospital, two of them suffering from dangerous wounds. Georgetown, Colo., Aug. 22. Charles Townsend, a barber, aged 69 years, and a resident of Georgetown forty-two years, died suddenly yesterday afternoon. Townsend was the oldest Negro in Clear Creek county. He engaged in mining until ten years ago and at the time of his death he owned valuable property in West Argen- tine district, the holdings lying in close proximity to the old Brick Pomeroy tunnel, better known as the Atlantic and Pacific. Before the war Townsend served as a slave, but his master gave him his freedom. He then enlisted on the side of the North and saw active service for a period of four years. Upon being mustered out, Townsend came to Georgetown. Indianapolis, Aug. 22.—Thousands of Negroes assembled for the national convention of the Colored Knights of Pythias, heard Booker T. Washington say in an address tonight at the state fair grounds that "he had no patience with the black man that was not proud he was an American Negro." "Teach the Negro boys and girls through this organization that regardless of color their is the same chance for them that there is for the poverty stricken Greek, Jew or Italian that can reach America and begin at the bottom and gradually grow into great prosperity," said Dr. Washington. Scientific scholars of both sacred and profane history had better put on their research caps and gowns if they expect to be able to confirm or deny the statement of Bishop M. F. Eason of the A. M. E. church, who, before sailing for NO 50 Egypt and Abyssinia recently, said: "When I return I expect to lay before the scientific world some data of the first importance regarding the origin of the colored race, which is the oldest of all races and I firmly believe, the progenitor of the Greeks. "The colored race was in existence more than 3,000 years before the birth of Christ. The Greek race sprang from this colored race in Africa and lost color through intermarriage in later ages with white races." A bulletin, just issued from the Census Bureau, shows that: Of the whole number, 262,720 of farms reported in 1910 in Alabama there were 152,347, or fifty-eight per cent, operated by white farmers and 110,273, or 42 per cent. by Negroes and other non-white farmers, as compared with a total of 223,220 in 1900, of which 129, 137, or 58 per cent. were conducted by white farmers and 94,083, or 42 per cent. by Negro and other non-white. The increase in the number of farms of white farmers during the decade amounted to 23,210 and in the number of farms of Negro and other non-white farmers to 16,200. The principal point to keep in mind in regard to these figures is that the colored people in Alabama have bought over 16,000 additional farms during the past ten years, while the white people have bought .23,000 additional farms. When it is kept in mind that the colored people of Alabama are only about 45 per cent. of the whole population, this is not a bad showing by any means Indeed, it is most interesting and encouraging showing. THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS A BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND FOR-EIGN COUNTRIES. IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROGRESS OF THE AGE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. WESTERN. A large forest fire is reported at Jardine, Mont., on the edge of the Yellowstone Park. Business men of Spokane have raised $2,300 to finance a national apple show there the coming November. One thousand delegates attended the eighth annual encampment of the Spanish War Veterans at Oklahoma City. Orders have been issued at the Union Pacific headquarters to lay off 2,500 men, the order to take effect immediately. United Spanish War Veterans, at their annual encampment, at Oklahoma City, went on record as opposed to the army canteen. Eight dead, forty injured and $150,000 property damage is the result of the tornado which struck northeast of Minot, N. D. A tornado passed over Huron, Neb., wrecking the high school building, court house, Catholic church, Catholic parsonage and school buildings. A terrific windstorm along the international boundary line of North Dakota blew down houses on the heads of their inmates and whipped crops in places into shreds. Many persons are reported killed and injured. Damage is heavy on both sides. Twenty-two sawmills in Louisiana and two in Texas have been closed and 8,000 men are idle as a move, it is said, in the fight waged by sawmill operators against the unionizing of their employees by the Brotherhood of Timber Workers. At the offices of the Southern Pacific Company in San Francisco it has been announced that 6,000 men would be dropped from the payrolls of the Pacific system of the railway before the end of September. Two thousand will be dropped immediately. A private in the signal corps at Fort Omaha, Neb., who is said to have deliberately cut off the index finger of his right hand in order that he might gain his discharge from the army, will instead be given a term of imprisonment and then taught to shoot with his second finger. This, at least, is the plan outlined by one officer of the courtmartial which will hear the evidence against him. GENERAL Heavy rains have fallen over southern Kansas. The first city in New Jersey to try the commission form of government is Trenton. The Lake Shore railroad has approved a plan to expend $11,000,000 in Toledo, Ohio, soon, according to reports. W. G. Beatty, in a Wright biplane, beat the world's record for duration while carrying a passenger, at Chicago.

The jurors who convicted Capt. Peter C. Hains, U. S. A., of the murder of William E. Annis, in New York three years ago this month, it was learned, have sent a petition to Gov. Dix asking the pardon of Hains. The National Association of Railroad Commissioners, which has been investigating the subject of express rates, may issue a recommendation that Congress take action leading to the abolition of express companies. This prediction is made by railroad officials and others. Although the cost will exceed $1,000,000 and the house will have to stand tenantless for more than two years, John D. Rockefeller has begun the actual work of remodeling his residence at Pacantico hills, near Tarrytown, N. J., in order that when the alterations shall have been completed ten new guest chambers will be available. Mrs. E. H. Harriman has given $50,000 to Dr. F. K. Ainsworth, chief surgeon of the Southern Pacific system, for the establishment and endowment of a bacteriological and pathological laboratory for the benefit of the employees of the company. According to his announced plan to give away his fortune before his death, Dr. D. K. Pearson's has turned over his home in Hinsdale to that town for a public library, art gallery and park. The property is worth $35,000. He will spend the remainder of his life in a sanitarium. FOREIGN. Violent outbreaks against Jews have occurred in Mornmouthshire, England, and are giving the authorities great concern, as this is altogether a new phase in British life. When the announcement was made from the board of trade offices in London that the railway strike had been settled and that the men would return to work immediately, a great wave of relief swept over the entire country. The election campaign has gained full headway throughout Ontario, the great industrial province of Canada, by the visit of Sir Wilfred Laurier, the premier, and R. L. Borden, the opposition leader. On all sides it is now recognized that reciprocity is the issue. Two hundred thousand railway employees throughout the United Kingdom are on strike and traffic everywhere is badly disorganized. The leaders of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants declare that 220,000 men, or nearly half the total employees of the railways of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, have answered their call to stop work. Managers of the railways say these figures are greatly exaggerated. SPORT. Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman and conqueror of Al Kaukmann, is in New York, where he is scheduled to meet Carl Morris, the Oklahoma fighter, in a ten-round contest about the middle of next month. La Junta, Colo., was successful in the first of the tri-city matches of trapshooters for a loving cup. The match was between La Junta, Dodge City, Kan., and Pueblo shooters. The Dodge City men state that they intend to win the cup if it takes all summer. Harry Riede, the Aspen "Whirlwind," and "Kid" Dix of New York will in all probability clash in a twenty-round-bout Labor Day. They have been offered two dates, but have not yet accepted either offer. Both boys are doing active training in Denver at present, but will accept the offer of the club which will give the best inductions. WASHINGTON. Statehood for Arizona and New Mexico now only awaits the perfunctory approval of President Taft. Postmaster General Hitchcock has, in all, designated ninety first-class offices as postal savings banks. Last order was for seventy. The first session of the Sixty-second Congress has ended. The session record of measures introduced is 14, 038 bills and 484 resolutions in the House and 3,296 bills and 58 resolutions in the Senate. Only a few of these were passed. The Democratic House of Representatives met defeat in its supreme effort to pass the wool and free list bills over the President's vetoes and virtually fixed upon adjournment of Congress at an early date. The vote was 227 to 129. Three short messages were sent to Congress by the President, one urging a further appropriation to complete the work of raising the wreck of the battleship Maine, a second asking Congress to determine whether the wrecks of the Spanish vessels sunk by the American navy shall be given away and the third transmitting reports of engineers of surveys on the Great Lakes. The House adopted, 282 to 27, the conference report on the campaign publicity bill. The report already has been adopted by the Senate and the measure will go to the President at once. It requires that all candidates for the Senate or House in general elections,' primaries or nominating conventions, shall file statements of their expenses not more than fifteen or less than ten days before the election or nominations. Representing the commissioner of the General Land Office, Frederick R. Dudley, has gone west to confer with state land boards and state engineers in regard to the operation of the Carey desert land act. Mr. Dudley, who will hold conferences in all of the public land states in which the Carey act is in operation, is chief of the lands and railroads division of the General Land Office and has immediate charge of Carey act applications. On a basis acceptable to Mr. Taft, statehood for New Mexico and Arizona was approved by the Senate through the passage of the Flood Smith resolution presented by Senator William Alden Smith, chairman of the committee on territories. The resolution was adopted, 53 to 8. A new altitude mark for aviatora was set by Oscar A. Brindley at Chicago by arising 11,726 feet in a Wright biplane. The world's record was 10,761 feet made by M. Loridan at Mourmelon, France, July 8, 1911. Western Newspaper Union News Service. COMING EVENTS. September 4-9 — Arkansas Valley Fair, Rocky Ford.

Skinner and wife, of Dallas, Tex., were frozen to death near the summit of the peak. Their bodies were found side by side the next day by Z. C. Crow, who was walking down the mountain. Mr. Taft to Visit Denver. Washington.—Plans have been completed for President Taft's coming trip through the West and to the Pacific coast. The journey will be almost as extensive as that taken by the President on his famous "swing around the circle" in 1909, when he traveled more than 13,000 miles and visited thirty-three states. He will break ground for the Panama canal exposition at San Francisco, make scores of addresses and attempt to scale the 14,000 feet of Mount Rainier's slope. Among his stops will be Denver, where he expects to make one of his important speeches. Federal Court Makes Ruling Denver.—A decision was hounded down by Judge R. E. Lewis, after nine years in the Federal Court in the United States government's $4,000,000 damage suit against the Rio Grande and wealthy lumber corporations of Colorado and New Mexico for alleged illegal timber cutting. The decision is a big victory for the Rio Grande in every point except one. Judge Lewis held that adjacent lands to a railroad right-of-way from which timber may be cut for railroad uses under the terms of a congressional grant, may not reasonably be over three miles from the right-of-way, or in certain instances six. For all timber out at a greater distance than three miles from the Rio Grande right-of-way it must pay the government. In some cases the Rio Grande went as far as nineteen miles and persons connected with the road have admitted that the damages may reach as high as $500,000. That is considerably less than $4,000,000, however, and the Rio Grande officials felt some relief when they read the decision. Judge Lewis ruled that a master in chancery must estimate the damage and will appoint one. Judge Lewis then held that the contract with the Santa Fe and the Union Pacific not to invade the territory of either, did not operate as a surrender of rights under the congressional grant of June 8, 1872. It is further held, contrary to the contention of the government attorneys, that the San Juan railroad from Antonito to Durango and Silverton was entitled to cut timber under the terms of the grant. It is held that lands in the Ute Indian Reservation, from which the Rio Grande cut timber, was subject to the terms of the grant and the government cannot recover there. It is held that the lands were adjacent to the Rio Grande in all cases with three miles of the right-of-way. Bob Harris Must Hang. La Junta—Judge Essex denied motions for new trials in the cases of Robert Harris and Joseph Harris for the murder of two Rocky Ford policemen, J. B. Craig and Jacob Kipper, July 4. The Judge then told Robert Harris the jury had found him guilty of murder in the first degree and recommended hanging, asking: "Have you anything to say as to why sentence should not be pased upon you at this time?" Robert Harris said: "Yes, sir. At the time this happened I did not have murder in my heart." Judge Essex then sentenced him to be hanged at Cañon City during the week ending Dec. 9 next. Ninety days were allowed to file a bill of exceptions and arrest of judgment. In the case of Joseph Harris, now eighty-one, the motions for a new trial and arrest of judgment were overruled. He was asked if he had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced upon him and replied: "I have stated all the facts. I thank God that I am not going to the penitentiary a guilty man." The judge said: "Your act made it possible for Bob Harris to do what he did." He then sentenced Harris to fifteen to twenty-five years in the penitentiary.

The authorities of Mancos are baffled over the finding of the lifeless body of Mrs. Amella E. Nichelson of Aztec, New Mexico, in a room she had engaged with two bullet holes in her body, one through the head and the other near the heart. Estimates on the Greeley potato crop at the present time vary all the way from 60 per cent of a normal yield to one made by well-known dealers, who say that if weather conditions are right there will be a normal crop, or about 8,000 car loads.

COLORADO Midsummer Hats THE HAT COMFORTABLE IN SUMMER LATEST PARISIAN NOVELTY UST why all the feminine world, from Maine to California, wake up some morning determined to possess a certain kind of hat, no one has ever been able to tell. But this state of things comes to pass time and again. And now every one wants a white felt hat. And every one wants fluffy white feathers about the hat, or big bows and drapes of white taffeta and a bit of white silk fringe for trimming. This demand is varied by another for white trimmed with royal purple, vivid green or black silk velvet. Other all white hats are trimmed with rich silk braid. With these are worn the floating silk vell of large mesh, white canvas shoes or slippers, and cool looking linen dresses made very plain. Washable gloves in white complete the daimtiest of summer costumes. The half bleached linen suits, of crash, are worn by the nearest women. Styles and Delft blues and pea-greens, with occasional pale pink, and many white linen suits, array our summer Coats and Skirts of Fine Shantung Silk Have Won Deserved Appreciation. Cool, comfortable coats and skirts are being made of the finer, softer weaves of shantung silk, chosen in the natural biscuit shade, and also of soft satins—the uncrushable kinds—and a favorite fabric called "silk serge," which closely resembles our old friend, "satin marvelleux." A pretty model is of delft blue satin trimmed in quite a new way, with long silk ribbons chosen in a darker shade of blue. The skirt opens on the left side in panel effect, revealing a long end of ribbon, and caught across with a dull silver button. The coat is treated in a similar way, with a trimming of satin ribbons and silver buttons, and is finished with a pleated side flair of fine white batiste. A high-crowned hemp hat to watch the gown has a brim of irregular shape, which is turned off the face and lined with black velvet, and is trimmed in a daring manner with one large dark crimson rose. A New Rouge. The woman who finds that a dash of rouge adds greatly to her appearance, and yet who wants above all things to avoid the suggestion of artificial coloring, can hardly do better than make a trial of a new rouge prepared under reliable management, and put up in smart little nickel cases without any name to attract curious or prying eyes, and of just the right size to slip inside the wrist bag. Another novelty is the form, for this is a powdered rouge to be shaken out of little perforations in the screw top upon a bit of absorbent cotton, to make it spread smoothly; or even the flat of one's finger tips may be used to rub it in. Like most of the latest and most popular rouges, it is rather on the mauve in tint before applied, but when spread upon the cheeks becomes exactly the shade of the blood coursing under the skin and as nearly impossible to detect as anything I have seen. It is the least obstructive way of carrying rouge possible.—The Vogue. Parisian Ivory Sets. Paristan ivory is the name given to imported celluloid and in the rich, creamy material are seen any number of lovely conveniences for the dressing table. Glove stretchers, powder and rouge boxes, pin trays and hand mirrors are some of the dainty trifles. The same articles in domestic celluloid often show the rich cream and such fittings are more used in summer than those of silver. girls and matrons in costumes irresistibly charming. There is almost no trimming on these linen suits, except a little hand-embroidered design or insertions of cluny or crocheted lace. A little party of women in these costumes reminds one of a bevy of white pigeons or a bouquet of flowers showing a few dainty colors set in a background of white. Their costumes are altogether comfortable and with them the white felt hat is just the right finishing touch. Some of the hats have very little trimming, just a band of black velvet—a drape of white taffeta or a collar and facing of braid. These hats are as effective as the panama, as they are soft enough to allow the brim to be turned in any fashion. They are far less expensive than the Panama, however, and their life is shorter. But, however, they are undoubtedly as beautiful in their effect as any headwear our women have worn. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. A Broderte Anglaise in ninon witt black velvet. Embroidered Fur Sets.

URGES CONTROL OF INSURANCE REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF U. S. INSURANCE COMMISSION. METHODS CRITICIZED ONLY FEW COMPANIES ARE FOUND TO BE FAIR TO POLICY HOLDERS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Milwaukee, Wis.—In the report of the special committee of the insurance commissioners of the United States important legislation for the control of insurance companies doing an industrial, health and accident business is proposed. The basis for the legislation proposed is given in reports on the examination of fourteen companies in which nearly 2,000 settlements effected by these companies are discussed and criticised. In discussing the settlement of these calims the report says: "Of the specific claims examined, where the amount involved is considerable, the percentage of scaled or rejected claims is high; indeed, very much too high to be explained by error of judgment or carelessness. "Indeed, the committee feels warranted in concluding that when dealing with companies doing an industrial, health or accident business, the policy holder public of the country has too frequently been the victim of inconscionable practices in the claim departments of the companies criticised in this report. "Promises of reformation made at the hearing are, therefore, not enough. This convention should take action which will guarantee the just treatment of policy holders in the future." The companies whose examination was the occasion for the report follows: Standard Accident Insurance Company, Detroit. United States Health and Accident Insurance Company, Saginaw. Massachusetts Accident Company, Boston. Great Easter Casualty Company, New York. Federal Casualty Company, Detroit. Equitable Accident Company, Boston. Continental Casualty Company, Hammond, Ind. North American Accident Insurance Company, Chicago. National Casualty Company, Detroit. Fidelity Accident Company, Saginaw. General Accident F. and L. Insurance Corporation. American Assurance Company, Philadelphia. Phoenix Preferred Accident Company, Detroit. German Commercial Accident Company, Philadelphia. The report says of one company "It is impossible in language fitted to an official document aptly to characterize what seems to have been the practices and methods of the industrial department of this corporation in settling with its policy holders. It appears to have resorted to every possible means, not merely to protect itself against imposition, for which it could not be criticised, but also, and more particularly, to cut and shave down claims apparently without conscience and certainly without right." "Three or four others merely show in reasonably isolated cases either errors in adjustment, or that the bad practices of competitors were sometimes followed. About half the companies examined show serious conditions in their claim departments, particularly in the adjustment of specific claims of considerable amounts; while at least two of such companies call for immediate and emphatic reforms." The report concludes with twenty-four recommendations, the most important of which are: That a standard of health and accident provision law be enacted; that pro rating for change for occupation should be permitted only when the insured has actually changed his occupation; that the policy fee be abolished; that all industrial agents and collectors be licensed by the state; that frequent examinations for the covering not only financial conditions but also treatment of policy holders be conducted either by the individual states or by a committee of the convention and that publicity be given to the results of all such examinations.

FACTS ABOUT CANNING HOME WORK, BOTH ECONOMICAL AND DESIRABLE. Some Few Things That Must Be Remembered If Work is to Be a Success—Complete Sterilization a Requisite. There seems to be a belief by the general public that there is something mysterious in the commercial canning process. The great secret of this process is a careful observation on two things, absolute cleanliness and complete sterilization. It is possible for every housewife to run a small canning factory in her own kitchen and on the farm that is both economical and desirable. Before Sealing. Fruits and vegetables can be "pu-up" in glass jars or tin cans at home much cheaper than they can be purchased in the form of commercial canned goods, and the flavor, texture, and general quality of the home-made product can be made superior to the product of the average factory. All forms of bacteria are killed by complete sterilization. This is nothing more than enclosing the product to be sterilized in jars or cans that can be sealed air-tight, and submitting them to heat of sufficient degree, for a time long enough to destroy the bacteria that cause the raw material to spoil. Sterilization is readily accomplished by the use of boiling water, and there are three different ways in which this can be done. While the parent bacteria can be killed at a temperature of boiling water, their spores retain their vitality for a long time even at that temperature. Smaller factories, and the different home-canning outfits usually make use of the "open-kettle" process. Here the cans are submerged in boiling water and kept at that temperature for a time sufficient to destroy bacteria and spores. The third process, known as fractional sterilization, is that of keeping cans or jars in boiling water for a specified time upon each of two or three consecutive days. The process of boiling upon consecutive days is the safest method, and is much to be preferred in home canning. The first day's boiling kills practically all the bacteria, but does not kill all of the spores. As soon as the jars or cans cool, these spores develop, and a new lot "After Sealing." of bacteria begin their destructive work on the contents. The second day's boiling kills this new lot of bacteria before they have had time to produce spores. Boiling the third day is not always necessary, but it is advisable in order to be sure that sterilization is complete. The product to be canned, the various utensils used, the cans or jars, and the entire surroundings cannot be too clean. Cleanliness is half the secret of making the canning business a success. Molasses Doughnuts. Two eggs well beaten, 1 tablespoon melted lard, $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups molasses, $1\frac{1}{4}$ cups sour milk, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg to suit taste. Mix in flour enough to handle easily, fry in deep, hot fat. This was sent in years ago by Josie P., but it seems to me there should be some soda added don't you? Here is another not from the column: One cup molasses, 1 egg, 1 rounded tablespoon of butter, 2-3 cup of milk, 2 teaspoons of cream of tartar, 1 of soda, $1\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon nutmeg and ginger, or cinnamon, little salt and flour to roll and handle nicely. Laundering Plaited Jabots. It is often difficult to get the plaits of one's dainty jabot ironed to suit. If a few moments with thread and needle in hand are spent before putting the jabot into the wash, the laundering will be simplified. Tack the plaits into place and then launder the dainty linen. A wondrous amount of trouble is saved by this simple expedient. If there is a bit of Irish lace on your jabot, after it is laundered, pick out the figures with a fine crochet hook.

THE COST OF PLEASURE. has unequaled measure of hard work, than any other race of people, that other people have—the situation—but he apes them or succeeds imitation off with a joke, a neediness is a virtue up to a degree which has its limitations, beyond welfare of the easy-going and selfish we are living governs the nature of its irresistible and indiscriminate demands and laugh away in their unnatural pleasures some time. But the Negro is not put at heart and his less-interested endeavor. The Negro is living too tough for improvement by hard work, most important institutions, dearest serious side of our well which they provide the public for their financial sustenance. Individuals among us make the extreme, the already extreme pastime and irreparable war, the lack of the inculcation of our youth, who are to become and proper education which the Negro can ever measure up to other people. The dependence on business and his institution, his independence and self-sustenance, the establishment and support, the newspapers, his own commercial, incoming more and more imperious and all-important ends only threeulgence in unlimited pleasure begin to teach these facts. Notwithstanding his unequaled measure of hardships, the Negro has more fun, more pleasure, than any other race of people on earth. He doesn't have the same comforts that other people have—the conveniences and privileges of wealth and station—but he apes them or substitutes something else for them, and passes the imitation off with a joke, a laugh and a ready forgetfulness. Light-heartedness is a virtue up to a certain point, but there can be no doubt that it has its limitations, beyond which it becomes an evil and a menace to the welfare of the easy-going and self-indulgent victim. The spirit of the age in which we are living governs the welfare of all people within the world-radius of its irresistible and indiscriminating influence and those who disregard its demands and laugh away its seeming incongruities must pay the cost of their unnatural pleasures some day, no matter how far distant that day may be. But the Negro is not putting off his day of payment so far as his light heart and his less-interested and jocund observers would lead him to believe. The Negro is living too much for pleasure and by pleasure and not enough for improvement by hard, patient and sober endeavor. Many of our most important institutions, devoted professionally and fundamentally to the most serious side of our welfare and being, depend upon the idle pleasure which they provide the public for an important part of the revenue necessary for their financial sustenance. Many individuals and aggregations of individuals among us make their living by catering to and encouraging, to the extreme, the already extravagant propensity of the rogo toward pleasurable pastime and irreparable wastefulness. The cost of it all is the lack of the inculcation of serious ideas and aspirations in the minds of our youth, who are to become the race of the future; the lack of that special and proper education which is necessary and must be acquired before the Negro can ever measure up to the spirit of the age and hold his own with other people. The dependence of the Negro, as a race, upon the white man, his business and his institutions, is becoming more and more out of date, and his independence and self-sustenance is becoming more and more required. The establishment and support of his own business institutions, his own newspapers, his own commercial, industrial and agricultural enterprises, is becoming more and more imperative and vital. He can reach these serious and all-important ends only through the sacrifice of his idle and inordinate indulgence in unlimited pleasures, and all true teachers of the race must soon begin to teach these facts. THE JESTERS. is one of the fixed institutions appointed comedian of the cow laugh. He was always a jester series that have marked the art of these compulsory fun-male clear clear that he who jests for, almless and unaccountable the comedians of our day, who writers of old, inherit the same when the humor of life chan The King's fool was one of the fixed institutions of early European monarchies. He was the appointed comedian of the court, and it was his business to make the King laugh. He was always a jester but seldom a fool, and many are the tragic stories that have marked the annals of the early courts, in which the real lives of these compulsory fun-makers are revealed to the world, and the fact made clear that he who jests for a living is not always the frivolous, wayward, aimless and unaccountable being that his calling makes him appear. The comedians of our day, who are the legitimate successors of the royal jesters of old, inherit the same experiences, and the day seems to come to all when the humor of life changes to the serious, the solemn, the tragic side. With the laughter of the people still ringing in their ears, it seems to be the fate of our modern jesters to turn to see that other Great Joker, Death, mocking and echoing all the ribaldry of a lifetime as he prepares to score the "hit" that never fails. For the comedian must see the final curtain fall, and hear the ghoulish jesters shout, "He laughs best who laughs last-" There is something pathetic in the successive taking off of three of our foremost fun-makers in the last three years—Ernest Hogan, George Walker, Bob Cole. With his strong mentality attending him to the end, Ernest Hogan became a physical wreck, a victim of tuberculosis. And although he had made a comfortable fortune in his lifetime, the personal comforts and liberties of his last months were limited by meagre allowances from a benefit fund provided by friends and fellow actors. George Walker's mind gave away, although the thousands who had seen and heard him in his happy stage portrayals, doubtless imagined that mental worry and care were as far from his natural make-up as they are from the most careless of tramps. He is said to have managed all the business arrangements of the Williams and Walker partnership, and his reputation for keen financial direction was of the highest. Something more than fun-making was at the bottom of his aliment. And now Bob Cole puts off the comedy role for the tragic. Less than a year ago, while robust and strong, he suffered a mental breakdown. The team of Cole and Johnson had done a vast amount of work in the three years immediately preceding. As humorous song-writers, playwrights and vaudeville headliners, their output told a story of hard work and mental strain such as few men, of similar station, undergo. The life of the comedian became something more than a playground. Bob Cole was the originator of ideas, the writer of plots and verses, the humor student. And he was not only ambitious, but apparently exhaustless of startling innovations and ideas and tireless. But suddenly the stroke fell, and he was sent to a hospital and then to a sanitarium. His treatment benefited him and he seemed on the way to recovery, and when he was taken to the mountains in Northern New York in July, relatives and friends thought that he would soon again be fit to return to his chosen work. But he alone probably realized that the Grim Jester was mocking him. He died by drowning in a small creek, on August 2, probably the result of his own voluntary act. He was the third of three star fun-makers who worked themselves to death. All aspired to the achievement of serious results, and in their endeavor to conquer the world of laughter, found only life's deepest tragedy. By WELLS ANDREWS, M. D. RESS has a great influence.

The two cardinal points to be here borne in mind with reference to their clothing are, first, that the material should be such as may serve to retain the necessary warmth, and, second, that its form be so arranged as to occasion neither undue abdominal compression nor any interference with muscular action. Hence the physician should try to induce his girl patients to adopt underclothing of merino, as well as to persuade them to eschew compressing corsets, elastic garters and tightly fitting high-heeled shoes. This advice we should give whenever the occasion offers, seldom as our counsel may be followed, for in such matters fashion and the modiste will probably continue to the end of the chapter to reign over common sense and the doctor. The injuries that may be inflicted by the absurd modes prevalent in the dress of girls are shown in the effects of tight lacing on-the breathing functions. The results of errors of this kind are most apparent at the period when the young lady exchanges the easy garb of girlhood for that imposed by the requirements of fashionable life. Were young men to be so laced, so imperfectly exercised, so inadequately clothed, so suffocated, so exposed, their bodily vigor would soon cease. Defects of clothing, though most signal about the chest and shoulders, are not confined to the upper part of the body. The feet require warmth, which fashion denies. They cannot be compressed except at the cost of suffering, some distortion and the infliction of positive disease. Fashion also permits the legs to be covered with only the thinnest materials. The circulation of blood to the feet becomes further impeded by the pressure of tight shoes and the debilitating effects of cold. The crippled state, too, thus occasioned is an obstacle to efficient exercise, and so adds to the general debility. as little for your meals as he can. I have been out harvesting in Nebraska.

An article in a recent household magazine gives an enthusiastic description of a compact kitchenette, so tiny that it is modeled after a ship's kitchen and takes up almost as little room. The writer tells with what difficulty she stowed herself away, in order to visit with the owner while luncheon was being prepared. At first I felt a pang of envy, contrasting the order and neatness which prevailed there with the somewhat chaotic condition which met my eyes as I looked up from the magazine I had picked up to fill in the moments until the high school boy should arrive in his usual starved condition. When he came, however, I wondered how he would fit into that tiny kitchenette, for the high school boy is long of limb and broad of shoulder and still growing. I envied no more, for our kitched is the Heart of the House. On the kitchen table the high school boy builds his aeroplanes and telegraph instruments, and solves his algebra problems, and conjugates his Latin verbs; with chemistry and physics, all with mother's sympathetic interest and help. A perfect kitchen companion in the jolly, whistling high school boy, with his slang, his popular songs and his interest in everything, from modern aeronautics and wireless telegraphy back to Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. You can't lose your hold on every part of your boy's life, if he and his chums are under your feet in the kitchen on holidays and stormy days. Where is there room, play tell, for taffy pulls and pocom in a kithchenette? On the fireless cooker in the corner (cooker made by said high school boy) the ten-year-old boy finds subjects and predicates, with mother's help, cons his spelling and "bounds North America." In the chalked ring in the center he "knuckles down tight," and he may even spin his top here, build his kites and mend his sled. Baby boy gets his first lesson here, too, builds his blocks and runs his choo-choo train, "cranks his auto" with meat grinder and bread mixer, learns his letters from oven door and cereal carton, and his numbers from clock and scale dial and calendar. Even the master of the house warms his back at the hot water boiler in the corner after his drives, as he answers the "Queen of the Kitchen's" inquiries about different patients he has visited that morning. There is even room for the high school boy's chum, "the yaller dog," and four-year-old's kitten; yes, there is even a comfortable chair for the neighbor who runs in "to borrow" and stay to chat. No, a kitchenette would never do for us.—E. Roberts in Boston Cooking School Magazine. GOOD IDEA FOR WASH DAY One Woman's Plan Which Saves Much Time and Labor and Offers Convenience. The manner in which one housekeeper solved her laundry problem may help some other reader. On Monday the clothes were gathered together, sorted and all stains removed; the white clothes were put to soak in the afternoon and after supper were placed on the stove to boil with washing powder and soap—they were stirred several times during the boiling process. After twenty minutes they were taken from the stove, put in a tub, cold water poured over them and left until morning. The tubs of rinse water were now filled for use on the following day. In the morning as soon as breakfast was over, the clothes that had been boiled were rubbed on the board, while the towels and similar articles were put on to boil. The first clothes were soon ready for the line, and the washing was finished in the early morning hours before the heat of the day made the work oppressive. Another point in favor of this plan is that in summer the greater part of the boiling of the clothes is done at night when the kitchen is unoccupied, and as a result the room is not so warm during the remainder of the washing.—The Designer. Bouillon in Cups. Six pounds of beef finely chopped, 4 quarts of cold water, 1 pound of bones, cracked, 2 heaping teaspoonfuls of salt, 1 teaspoonful of finely chopped red or green pepper, 1 onion stuck with cloves, 2 stalks of celery cut in dice, 1 chopped carrot, 6 whole peppers, 3 cloves, 1 bay leaf, 1 blade of mace, $ \frac{1}{4} $ cupful of sherry wine, 3 tablespoonfuls of butter. Cover the meat and bones with cold water; simmer slowly for 5 hours. Fry vegetables in the butter, add to stock with seasonings, except sherry wine. Cook for one hour longer, strain, cool, remove fat and clear. Add sherry and serve in bourillon cups. Orange Ice Cream. Beat the yolks of 2 eggs until light, add $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups of sugar and 1 pint of hot milk and stir and cook in a double boiler until the mixture coats the spoon.

Flat irons that have become rough or rusty can be made bright and clean again if rubbed vigorously on a coarse cloth after coating with paraffin.—Woman's World. Rally! Rally! for Church Roofing!

Central and South American Republics Regard it as Model—Policy of United States in Fighting Counterfeiters. To say that Americans make the best bank notes in the world may sound at first rather boastful, and yet any history of the art and indus- at first rather boastful, and yet any history of the art and industry of note engraving which failed to record that fact would be incomplete. Paul Revere was the first American bank note artist, and from the time of the chartering of the Bank of North America under the direction of Robert Morris, 1781, up to the present, American engravers have excelled not only in the artistic quality of their designs, but in their provisions against counterfeiting. The American style of bank note has become the standard in the countries of Central and South America. The experience of the Brazilian government led the way in this, after varkous disappointments. First the much vaunted Austrian system was tried, the notes being engraved and printed in England under that system. They proved a complete failure. Counterfeiters flourished. The Brazilians tried bank notes made in France, and these were promptly and extensively imitated as soon as the counterfeiters could get their plates and paper ready. Brazil tried German and English establishments, but still without securing protection to the bank note circulation, and at last turned to the United States and found a type of bills practically impossible to counterfeit. So it is no boast but a mere record of fact to state that Americans make the best bank notes in the world. The governments of continental Europe depend exclusively upon color work to protect their paper currency, and several of the large banks of issue have civil engineers in charge of their bureau of engraving and printing—though what connection there may be between engineering and engraving is a mystery. Many Italian bank notes are easy to counterfeit. The Bank of Spain has of late abandoned its own plant, because its notes were imitated so successfully that counterfeits were accepted by the bank without question. A private concern now does the work. The Bank of Greece now uses the American method, having had sad experiences with notes of Austrian, German and English fashioning. A myth that probably will never tells us that the notes of the Bank of England cannot be counterfeited. As a matter of fact, they can be imitated readily enough, for little attempt is made to protect the notes beyond the use of a water mark paper. The water mark can be easily copied. Nevertheless, the shadow of the hangman still seems to deter English counterfeiters. The custom of circulating soiled bank notes, of course, gives the counterfeiter his best opportunity. Forgery is much more readily detected in a crisp, stiff, new bill than in a rumped and dirty one. The United THE MUSICIAN Washing Paper Money. States government recently has begun to wash old notes, press them and restore them to circulation. In China the provision against forgery is simple to the point of severity — "Counterfeiters hereof will be executed. Persons giving information of counterfeiters will be rewarded with taels 250, and, in addition, will receive the property belonging to the criminal." Another great government has placed much dependence upon death as a deterrent toimitators of its promises to pay. When Jacob Perkins of Newburyport, Mass., invented the method of transferring designs from hardened steel plates to steel cylinders and retransferring to flat plates, thus enabling the engraver to devote the time necessary to accomplish his best work in the original and reproduce it at will, the new process aroused international interest. Mr. Perkins and his associates went to London in 1819, at the instance of the British minister at Washington, to help the Bank of England issue notes not easily counterfetted. But the conservative old bank refused to adopt the new method, preferring, as one of the Americans sald, to rely upon the hangman rather than the engraver. Nevertheless, the English began in time to follow American methods. Head of Bureau of Engraving Makes Over Eleven Billions of Them Each Year. Joseph E. Ralph makes 11,100,000,000 stamps every year.

Recently ten postoffice inspectors went to the brueau and checked up the number of stamps printed there within a month and the total was 1,768,285,000. The bureau prints an average of 42,000,000 stamps a day. As these pass through the machine the number printed is automatically registered. Later the stamps are counted and when delivered to the postoffice department they are checked up. All the time that he has been printing these stamps, Mr. Ralph has never had one unaccounted for. For many years the stamp contract was given each year to a private business concern in New York. One day the head of the bureau of engraving decided to put in a bld for the work, and it was so much lower than the other blds that it got the contract. It has held it ever since. Business is transacted between the departments just as it is between individuals. The treasury department bills the postoffice department for its stamp work and the postoffice department makes out a voucher which eventually goes through the treasury W. H. Joseph E.

CQW LIVES IN BOVINE LUXURY Swedish Masseur, Shower Bath and Electric Fan Are Now Among Her Comforts. Not content with a life of ease and inaction, quietly munching grass on the broad lawns back of the white house. Pauline Wayne II., officially designated as the milk producer for the president and his family, has been housed in a brand-new stable fitted up with every modern convenience. The stable is situated at a convenient distance from the white house grounds, so that Pauline will not get unduly tired traversing the distance twice a day. Pauline's abode is fitted up with conveniences which usually are found only in dwellings for human beings. The stable is built of brick and steel. The floors are concrete and the walls cement, so arranged that the entire structure can be flooded with water. There are patent automatic filling feed and watering basins, electric lights and a shower bath. And the shower bath is for Pauline. Every evening Pauline is brought home, rubbed down and masaged by a special Swedish attendant who will see that the bovine lady does not get too fleshy from want of exercise. Following this she is bedded in sterilized hay and fanned to sleep by an electric fan. THE "CURE" LABEL STANDS Makers of Medicines May Falsify All Statements Except List of Ingredients Contained. Sweetened water or pills composed of colored mud may be labeled "cures" and sold as medicine with impunity under the national pure food and drugs act, according to a decision rendered by a majority of the United States Supreme court. Provided there is no misstatement on the bottle or package as to its content, the manufacturer is free to sell his goods. The court acknowledged that "In a certain sense the statement on the label was false or, at least, misleading," but it held that the language of the pure food law is such that the statement contained therein as to the meaning of misbranding "is aimed not at all possible false statements, but only at such as determine the identity of the article, possibly including its strength, quality and purity." Trust Suits on Hand. An indication of Uncle Sam's activity in the prosecution of "trusts" was evidenced in a compilation of the suits now pending under the Sherman law. Twenty-seven cases are now in the courts. They involve lumber, ice, sugar, church seats, milk, meat, bath tubs, paying bricks, incandescent lights, wholesale grocers, butter, eggs, box board, steel wire, magazines and various forms of transportation.

General Thomas L. Clingman, who from 1843 to 1858, with the exception of one term, represented North Carolina in the lower house of congress and was a member of the senate when the Civil war began, resigning that office to return to North Carolina and become a Confederate brigadier-general, used frequently to re-visit Washington in the late seventies and early eighties. He did not come upon any political errand, for he eschewed politics at the close of the Civil war. He was an enthusiastic prophet with respect to the mineral wealth of his state; the first man, in fact, to make this wealth known. If any one were willing to chat with him he would sit by the hour describing the treasures of platinum and of precious stones, even diamonds, which he was sure were within the bowels of the North Caroline mountains. Notwithstanding his snow-white beard and the wrinkles which time had left on his face, he seemed to be mentally as active as ever, and there was no faltering in his step. "Of all the great statesmen of the North that I have known," once said General Clingman to me, "the one I always recall with the greatest satisfaction, is William H. Seward. I made his acquaintance before I entered the senate, and that acquaintance, in due time, ripened into something like friendship. Did you know that, in Seward's time, there was no northern member of the senate who was on more friendly terms with the southern members of congress generally? And that reminds me of the first and only time I saw Senator Seward weep in public. "Seward became a member of the senate in 1849. Three years before Texas had sent to the senate as its first representative in that body Sam Houston and Thomas J. Rusk, who had stood second to Houston in the war which had established the independence of Texas. Between Rusk and Seward there soon sprang up a friendly relation that gradually ripened into a real intimacy, and this relation was a nine days' wonder to many, for Seward had then become recognized as the leading anti-slavery Whig in the senate, while Rusk represented a How William T. Sherman, When a Young Lieutenant, Confirmed the News of the Discovery of Gold in California. "I was one of those who sailed from New York as soon as the news came of the discovery of gold in California and I spent several years in California," said Mr. Dudley E. Jones, president of one of the largest of the industrial companies of Arkansas, to me recently. Mr. Jones was a native of New York state, and while still hardly past his majority he was tempted to California and lived in the very heart of the gold mining excitement. "Much has been said and written about the discovery of gold at Sutter's mill," continued Mr. Jones. "I was there in October, 1849, and I was there agin in 1903, and Suttler's ranch and mill near the Sacramento river looked in 1903 to me exactly as they looked in 1849. The only change that I noticed was that indicating the approach of the suburbs of Sacramento City to that historic spot. It has always seemed to me that one of the real heroes associated with the discovery of gold in California and the making of that discovery known to the world has not been recognized by the people of this generation as he should be. Perhaps this is because he gained other fame 15 years later. However, I will tell you the story exactly as I had it, authoritatively, not only from one, but from many persons back in the old gold days. "At the time of the outbreak of our war with Mexico a portion of the American army was sent to California. A little garrison was stationed at Monterey, and it was under the command of Colonel Mason. "One day there floated into the little garrison rumors that gold had been discovered near the Sacramento river, and that it promised to be a rich find. Coloney Mason regarded this as very important news, and felt that the government at Washington should receive this news at the earliest possible moment. He therefore got together a few pack mules. He procured them with some difficulty, because pack mules at that time were a very valuable asset for the miners. Thn he called one of his young lieutenants to him and said: "I want you to go as speedily as possible up the Sacramento valley to a place called Coloma and learn whether these stories about the discovery of gold up there are correct. If you find them true, return to Monterey as soon as possible." Lost Invitation Beat Blaine Lost Invitation Beat Blaine slave state. But strange as this intimacy seemed, it continued unbroken to the day of Rusk's death in 1856, when he committed suicide in a moment of temporary mental aberration. "Of course the customary memorial services were held in the senate, and Seward delivered one of the eulogies. In fact his was the chief eulogy, and I have always regarded it as a classic. But the most remarkable thing in connection with its deliverance was that, suddenly, Senator Seward broke down. He was convulsed with his grief. He buried his face in his handkerchief and sobbed. It was so affecting that many of his colleagues also were moved to tears. "A few days later, when I congratulated Seward on his eulogy of his friend, I suggested that there must have been something of an unusual character to bring two such men as himself and Rusk together on terms of intimacy. "Shortly after President Pierce's administration began," he told me, "I Dr. Burchard Was Substituted for Dr. Thomas Armitage at Clergymen's Reception and Uttered the Famous Fatal Words. Rev. Dr. Thomas Armitage was, in his lifetime, recognized as the ablest and most influential Baptist clergyman in the United States. Although he was an Englishman by birth, not coming to the United States until he was near his majority, nevertheless there was no native-born American who ever exceeded him in patriotic ardor, nor was there any clergyman who gave service of greater value to the Union at the time of the Civil war. He was for years the pastor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church in New York, commonly known as John D. Rockefeller's church, although during his pastorate Mr. Rockefeller was not a member of the congregation. Dr. Armitage was an intimate personal friend of the first American cardinal, Archbishop McCloskey, and he was at the time of the Civil war in very intimate relations with Archbishop John Hughes, whom President Lincoln sent to Europe as a special "That young lieutenant was off on an hour's notice. He made a forced march to Coloma and back, within a few days reporting to Colonel Mason that gold had certainly been found at Coloma, and in abundance; Colonel Mason thereupon summoned a courier in whom he had every confidence, and handing him certain dispatches for the government at Washington, commanded him to make every effort to reach Fort Brown (now Brownsville) at the mouth of the Rio Grande river, as soon as possible. There the nearest mail communications with Washington could be reached. These dispatches reported to the government authorities at Washington that a lieutenant in whom Colonel Mason had every confidence had investigated the reports of the finding of gold at Coloma and that what the lieutenant said about this discovery could be relied upon. "In due time the report reached Washington and was published. It set the whole country in a fever, but the name of the young lieutenant who had vouchered for the discovery of a very great gold field was speedily forgotten. You would like to know his name. It was William T. Sherman. And, relatively speaking, I think that his quick journey from Monterey to Coloma was beset by almost as many difficulties as was his march from Atlanta to the sea which made him world famous 16 years later." (Copyright, 1911, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) Hurt Spawning, Not Voyaging. Herodotus told of fishes bruising and hurting their sides while swimming up the Nile in spawn. It is often stated and nearly always believed that salmon get hurt in many ways when en route to their spawning places. in central Idaho an examination of many salmon shows that at the time the salmon came to the spawning beds all were in fine fix—not a scratch or bruise to be found. But in a few days scratches and sores and bruises were enough and plenty. Most of these injuries were got from nuzzling and bellyng gravel for spawn nests, or else from fighting, which was fierce and continuous. Soon after the several days of spawning both bucks and roes died invariably, infallibly. A Sigh for the Plumber "Blessings brighten as they take their flight," said the ready-made philosopher. "Yes," replied Mr. Growcher. "I'd give a good deal to go home now and have them tell me that the water pipes are frozen." was informed that a personal and very loyal friend for whom I had secured appointment in one of the government departments was in danger of removal. I was very anxious that he should be retained. One day I mentioned my apprehension to Senator Rusk and told him why I was so anxious that this friend should be retained in the department. He had been of great service to me in New York politics, and at considerable personal sacrifice. I knew, also, that if he were removed from this place he would be in actual want. "Senator Rusk begged me to relieve my mind of all apprehension. "I shall make the retention of this friend of yours the test of my loyalty to President Pierce's administration," he said. He was as good as his word, and now you understand why I felt so keenly the passing of Thomas Rusk." (Copyright, 1911, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.) An Extreme Measure. "Bings" wife is a great fault-finder, I understand." "Yes; she even made poor Bings put a knocker on the front door." plenipotentially, representing the president, in the winter of 1861-2. Dr. Armitage was, therefore, very widely recognized by American Roman Catholics as one of the clergymen of the Protestant denominations who, like Henry Ward Beecher, maintained intimate personal and social relations with the leading prelates of the Church of Rome in America. I had heard that but for what seemed to be a slight accident or misunderstanding Dr. Armitage. Instead of Rev. Dr. Burchard, would have spoken for 800 clergymen at the reception given to James G. Blaine in New York city near the close of the presidential campaign in 1864, the reception at which Dr. Burchard spoke the words "Rum, Romanism and Rebellion," which caused Mr. Blaine to lose the presidential election. I met Dr. Armitage a year of two before his death, which occurred in 1896, and asked him if the reports which I had heard were accurate. "Yes," he replied. "That strange and adverse fate which prevented Blaine—as a like destiny had prevented Henry Clay—from becoming president was responsible for the accident which brought about my non-appearance as spokesman for the clergymen at the reception for Mr. Blaine. "This reception, as you may remember, was a suddenly arranged affair. It was the understanding of those who planned it that I was to be invited to speak before the candidate. It so happened that I was in Philadelphia at the time, attending a great meeting of Baptists called especially to commemorate the services of Rev. Dr. Peddie. Therefore when Stephen B. Elkins, who had arranged for the reception, sent the invitation to me to act as spokesman it did not reach me. Haste was necessary, so it was determined to call upon Rev. Dr. Burchard, who was a good man and an earnest man but curiously lacking in tact. "When I read the dispatch from New York to the effect that the clergymen were to attend the Blaine reception and that Dr. Burchard was to speak to them, I was instantly dominated by the conviction that I ought to be in New York to meet Dr. Burchard and find out what he was going to say. I boarded the earliest possible train for New York and upon my arrival was taken by cab to the Fifth Avenue hotel. I was too late. The reception was almost over. "But even then, had I been told what Dr. Burchard had said, I should have challenged him on the spot. I should have made an effort to clear the atmosphere immediately, and it would have been possible for me to do so because the great leaders of the Roman Catholic church in the United States knew of the warm personal relations which existed between Cardinal McCloskey, Archbishop Hughes and myself. "Unfortunately, I did not learn what Dr. Burchard had said until it was too late to repair the damage. As you know full well, his expression was instantly caught up and published widely, and I knew from that moment that Mr. Blaine was doomed." (Copyright, 1911, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.)

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS No institutions have more keenly felt the effects of the increased cost of living than have our church schools. They have been caught between two fires as it were; they have had to pay more for supplies and equipment than ever before, and yet the general stringency precludes the possibility of charging any more than formerly for the advantages and opportunities offered to the student. Many of these schools will, through the efforts of their managers and directors, levy a heavier assessment on the general public and especially on the various churches who support them. This policy may tide them over for a while—but only for a while. And, further, this policy may lead in time to that condition of "riding a free horse to death." It occurs to us that one sensible plan for these institutions to follow is this: Many of them own from 30 to 150 acres of land. This land has heretofore played only a subordinate part in the support of these institutions. Why not make this land productive? Use it as a support to the school and as a means of giving the student the best sort of education? Schools owning this land could get in touch with the agricultural department of the government or with some experiment station and thus become an industrial school in ways other than on paper. These schools draw largely upon country districts for their students. What finer opportunity could be desired for training "in right methods" of farming? This education could and should be a part and a real part of the work done. We appreciate the difficulties that these schools have to face. A dozen youngsters come up from the country with the most preposterous ideas about education and life. If they are turned loose on a course leading through algebra, Latin, French and Greek, they are happy and so are their parents. Their loyalty and support are assured. If these youngsters should be introduced to the plow, and other farming paraphernalia, it is just possible that there would be walling and gnashing of teeth on the part of both students and parents. Heroic beginning of this sort may be postponed from time to time, as has been the case in the past, but events are gradually showing the need of just such a start. We were in conversation recently with one of the promoters of a denominational school. This denomination has bought and paid for 50 acres of land near a growing city. Buildings have been erected and work will begin in the fall. My informant regretted that in electing a principal, they had to elect a man who is only a normal graduate! Next year, he thought, they would send and get a man versed in Greek, Hebrew, German and French! "Now, don't that beat h—ll," we said to ourselves! That 50 acres of land could be developed into a model farm helping to defray the expenses of the school and giving valuable instruction in work that the world wants and is willing to pay for. Another fact worthy of note in this connection is this: Within a radius of a hundred miles of the town where this new school is to be erected there are eight denominational schools, all doing identically the same sort of work. Two of them are giving and are prepared to give training in the higher branches of education. The others are for the most part doing the work of well-organized and efficient country schools, and are not doing it nearly so well. Our activity in establishing new schools—schools that duplicate the work of one another—suggests a possible result similar to that in the story of Midas. This latter got all the gold he wanted, but all of his gold was absolutely worthless and injurious to him.—Dallas Express. We fear sometimes that those who are endeavoring to educate themselves and their children, or who are trying to make progress in various ways, have in mind the effort to bring themselves and their children to a point of superiority over others, rather than the keeping in mind the fact that this education is for lifting the particular individuals that the whole people may be lifted higher. The proper progress is made only when all education, for whatever people, has for its end and purpose the betterment in a larger way of a race and individual. Education that is selfish is no education at all.—Negro School News. Army officers are really the dictators as to what enlisted men shall stand for promotion, and they are not in the main in favor of the promotion of enlisted men, white or black. They stickle for the West Point graduation in the officers, and negroes have so much trouble getting into West Point as cadets and out of it as officers that only three have done so—H. O. Flipper, Charles Young and J. W. Alexander. Major Young is now the only West Pointer we have in the army. Army officers should have less power over the designations of enlisted men for promotion.—Rochester Sentinel. Every member of the Afro-American race should resolve to be a monitor, and see to it that every other one of us behave and deport ourselves as becoming a lady or gentleman in every particular.

There in infinitely too much laxity along that line among us as a race variety in this city, and who knows but what much discrimination and prejudice on the part of the white people against the race has had its rise in that fact.—Philadelphia Courant. A white preacher from somewhere in the south has written a book in which he attempts to incite division between the blacks and yellows of the race, claiming/ the light shades are gobbling all the best places in life from the darker ones. He calls the dark people to arise in mutiny and annihilate their yellow kindred.—Cincinnati Pilot. "Is dat Ca'line Jackson?" asked a masculine voice at the far end of the phone.

Hot headed, rowdy negroes would do well to take the advice given from time to time in these columns to be careful in all their conduct, be polite to everybody, both white and black, and in all cases attend only to their own business, thus keeping out of trouble.

Years ago when colored women looked after the cleanliness of stores, residences, offices, etc., almost exclusively, they were referred to as scrubwomen. White women nowadays who perform the same service are referred to as care-takers.

Mr. Hill's family thinks he is insane. When Hill is caught—as he will be—his lawyer will probably file a plea of insanity. We're imitating the white folks right along. The preacher should be a moral teacher and a moral doer; a man to lead the people by teaching them what is right, and setting the cleanest and unblemished examples before them, then their followers would be a greater per cent, the better.

She is the first and only one of her race, and she has attracted a great deal of attention by her work in the Tombs. "Miss Campbell is doing fine work here, and there isn't any one who won't respond to her sympathy. She is an ideal disciplinarian." This is Probation Officer D. E Kimball's tribute to her feminine coworker. When I saw Miss Campbell at the National League for the Protection of Colored Women she explained how she had been drawn to the work through her interest in kindergarten teaching in Chicago and Washington. Like her father and mother, Miss Campbell was a graduate of the Howard university, at Washington. Her father is a minister and was born in British West Indies. Her mother was a Washington woman. Miss Campbell has large, soft, brown eyes and a quantity of black hair. It is her eyes that make the most eloquent appeal, although her soft, well-modulated voice is almost as persuasive. "Do you think there is any difference in the attitude of the colored girl and the white girl, when you appeal to them to reform?" I inquired. "No," she replied, "I think human nature is the same, no matter what the color of the skin. I consider that mental deficiency is one of the greatest causes of crime in all races. I believe that there ought to be schools for the mentally deficient, where the nature of the defect might be studied, as well as the possibility of educating the delinquents in some work that would appeal to them and thus make useful citizens of them, instead of treating them as criminals and exposing them to further temptation in institutions. "The most stubborn cases, I find, respond to sympathy and the proper kind of discipline. Investigation shows that the colored girl is very often a victim of an employment agent who has lured her from her southern home with promises of plenty of work. The girl, flattered by these assurances, leaves her home with little or no money, few clothes and absolutely destitute of experience. She reaches the big city penniless, and has no place to go. Of course the lure of the north for southern colored woman is just the same for the southern white woman who hopes to obtain employment here. "But where there is protection for the white girl there is not so much for the negro. The National League for the Protection of Colored Women first of all tries to prevent the colored woman from coming north, but then if she has made the mistake and arrives here we try to find a place for her as soon as we possibly can. My work at the docks puts me in touch with many of these girls, for I am not at the court the whole day. ``I know that the temptations of these innocent colored girls from rural districts are great. The lost address to a friend or a decent lodging house is one source of a girl's downfall. She must be properly sheltered the first night she arrives in the city, or perhaps an agent, seeking girls for purposes of which the victims are ignorant, come into possession of them and then follows the life of misery and disgrace. "The girls who find their way to the night courts are often the victims of these spurious employment agents. If they can only be reached in time a few words will put them on the right road. We find proper lodgings for them and legitimate work is supplied by the league, which has associations in Philadelphia, New York, Memphis and Baltimore. The same good work is done in these other cities. "The majority of people forget that the colored race is not naturally vicious or shiftless, but that lack of proper training and the fact that they have been so long oppressed militates against their development."—Viola Justin in New York Daily Mail. LEGS BAR TO PEANUT SELLING BONHAM, TEXAS, MAKES DOUBLE AMPUTATION VENDING QUALIFICATION. Bonham, Texas—The city council has just passed an ordinance providing that no one may sell peanuts on the street of Bonham until he has suffered the amputation of both legs. The purpose of the ordinance is to permit an aged negro, who has lost both legs to "freeze out" all able-bodied competitors in the peanut-selling line. THE CACTUS, NOT THE VINE. "The clinging type of girls is disap pearing," she said. "Yes," he replied, "modern woman with her numerous hatpins, is more like a cactus than a vine."
