Be Sure and Vote at the Primaries, Next Tuesday, Sept. 10 THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY FACTS ABOUT THE NEGRO VOL. XVIII. FACTS A THE (From Dallas Morning News) BY CHARLES STELZLE The Negro problem is shifting from the South to the North. At any rate, the Census figures indicate that the South is becoming whiter, largely due to the fact that there is a steady migration of the Negro to the North. Also, the figures show that the Negro is going to the city in both the North and the South. The percentage of Negroes for the entire country is 107; for the cities of 25,000 and over it is 16.5. Negroes constitute one-fourth or more of the total population in each of twenty-seven of these cities, and in four of them the proportion is more than half. In each of twelve cities there are more than 40,000 Negroes, although in Washington, D.C., the Negro population is 94,446. The wildest guesses imaginable have been made as to the future of the Negro race. It has been said with equal insistence, and with probably equal authority, both that the Negro would ultimately dominate the United States because of the large birthrate among Negroes, and that the Negro race would some day be practically eliminated. As a matter of fact, while during the past sixty years the total population of the country has increased four fold, the Negro population has increased only two and two-thirds fold. But it must not be forgotten that, whereas the increase of the white population was largely due to a considerable influx of foreigners, the increase of Negroes depended almost entirely upon native stock. However, the actual situation may be arrived at by comparing the relative death and birth rates of the two races. While it is impossible to secure complete vital statistics in this country, there are certain registration areas in which figures are kept. Unfortunately these areas are for the most part in the cities; there are almost no records for the country. In 1890 the death rate for Negroes in the registration areas was 29.9 per thousand, whereas for whites it was only 19.1 per thousand. As these figures for the Negroes included a few Mongolians and Indians it would be fair to say that the actual death rate was about 29 per thousand for the Negro. This means that for every thousand Negroes, twenty nine die annually. In the Census report for 1900 the figures for deate rates are as follows: Negroes 30.2 per thousand; whites 17.3 per thousand. It will be seen that not only is the death rate among Negroes nearly twice as great as it is among whites, but that the death rate among Negroes is increasing, whereas it is decreasing among whites. In the matter of birth rates, all the facts are against the Negro. Absolutely reliable data is not available' but taking the number of children in the United States females between the ages of fifteen to forty four years of age, we arrive at the following conclusions: In the United States as a whole there were in 1880 to every 1,000 white women 586 children; to every 1,000 Negro women (including Indians and Mongolians) 765 children. In 1900 there were to every 1,000 white women 508 children, and to every 1,000 Negro women there were 585 children. While the birth rate has greatly declined for both races in twenty years, it has declined more rapidly among Negroes than whites, namely: Seventy-eight per thousand whites, and 174 per thousand for Negroes. These figures would seem to indicate the continued supremacy of the white race—if present tendencies continue. But this fact continues to stare us in the face; the Negro is actually increasing in numbers, not as fast relatively as is the whites, but we may as well make up our minds that the Negro is here to stay. It's simply a question as to whether he will be a "good" Negro, or a "bad" Negro. And the answer to this question depends as much upon the whites as it does upon the blacks. We should also consider it a finality that the white race and the Negro race will rise or fall together. It is impossible to have a nation part free and part slave; it is still more impossible to have at the same time in one country, a n. orally and physically decaying race, and a surviving race untouched by the dying race's fate. If we could definately settle this it would save us from a lot of flab. by thinking and worse scheming. The Negro will never return to Africa to establish a Liberian Republic. He is the only man in America who was brought here against his will. For 250 years there was systematically expunged from the Negro race, the best qualities which fit a man for citizenship in a democracy. Considering the lack of opportunity, the advice of fool friends, and the inheritant limitations which are both natural DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7 1912. Bpte List & Nut Hist Boosts State House e at the Prim RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORAD and acquired, the Negro has done pretty well since the day that he was set free. The fact that the Negro is dying in such large numbers of tuberculosis and other still more frightful diseases is, of course, due to his ignorance and to other reasons for which he is largely responsible, but we cannot forget that it is also to be charged to the fact that he is compelled to live in the worst sections of our towns and cities often without drainage or sewerage or garbage service, without water within a reasonable distance and scarcely any of the sanitary conditions in house or yard or street which whites consider an absolute necessity. We drive the worst forms of immorality into the Negro quarters and then curse the Negro because of his moral weakness. We subject him to the severest test of our city life—physical, moral and political—and then cynically declare that the "nigger" is no good anyway. Let's give him a square deal—a man's chance. Neither race hatred nor mawkish sentimentality will settle this very delicate question. The South can not settle it alone, and the North cannot do the work for the South. The North and the South, the city and the country must tackle the thing together, for this is a National problem. PUPILS ON STRIKE TO QUIT NEGROES Pittsburg, Sept. 3. Because they were ordered to attend the Franklin and Forbes schools of the Oakland and Hill districts, in which they lived, when the school opened today, 200 boys and girls refused to enter the school buildings and to voice their protest against being compelled to associate with foreigners and Negroes, sat on the lawn all day. The pupils were orderly, but did not fail to make their protest known to the teachers and officials of the schools. Many parents have absolutely refused to send their children to the Hill district public schools, owing to the fact that most of the pupils attending the schools are foreigners and Negroes. WHITE MAN TURNS BIACK Mr. S. A. Hendricks, St. Louis, Mo., has been growing black for the past five months, and now he is as black as any man in the jungles; this disabuses the theory that black men are the sons of Ham, but have turned dark by other causes, other than from climatic condition or environments. This must be a hard pill for Mr. Hendricks, as he is from Missoui. ANNUAL SESSION OF ELKS The National Convention of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, which convened in Dayton, Ohio, from August 25th to the 30th, in their thirteenth annual session elected the following officers for the year:—H. H Pace, Memphis, Tenn., Exalted Ruler; T. G. Nutter, Charleston, W. Va., esteemed leading knight; Stewart Hoyt, Boston, Mass., esteemed loyal knight; James E. Churchman, Orange, N. J., esteemed lecturing knight; James T. Carver, Richmond, Va., grand tiler; W. H McFarland, Brooklyn, N. Y. grand inner guard; J. Finley Wilson, Norfolk, Va., grand organizer; Dr. C. W. Owens, Atlanta, Ga., grand medical director; Wm. Freeman, Paris, Ky.; grand esquire; Joseph James, Chicago, grand trustee. Atlantic City, N. J. was selected for the next annual meeting place. ANTAGES THEATRE FINED FOR DRAWING THE COLOR LINE The question whether a theatre management can exclude from parquet seats colored persons was determined August 5, by the superior court of Los Angeles county in favor of the plaintiff in the case of G. O. Cochran (a colored man) against A. Pantages, proprietor of the Pantages, theatre, Los Angeles. The facts are substantially as follows, to wit. On May 20, 1911, Mr. Cochran, accompanied by a young colored lady, went to Pantages theatre, purchased two reserved seat tickets, and when he presented them at the door he was refused admittance to the first floor on the ground of color. When he complained to the ticket seller, the latter offered to give him seats upstairs or refund his money, both of which Mr. Cochran refused. Suit was filed by Cochran against Pantages May 16, 1912, for damages in the sum of $1,000. Suit was brought under certain provisions of the civil rights law of the state of California which prohibits discrimination, etc., in the theatres and other places of public amusement and accommodation. After a stubbornly contested trial which lasted two days (July 23-24), the case was submitted to the court for further consideration and decision. On the 5th the court gave Mr. Cochran judgment and awarded him damages in the sum of $50 and costs. Attorney Paul M. Nash of this city conducted the case for the plaintiff—Portland Advocate. NOTICE.

RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES A. P. Curtis, who has been in the employ of the Burlington Railroad for thirty years has recently been appointed passenger director and depot policeman at Alliance, Nebraska. In the beautiful city of Buenos Ayers is perhaps the only statute in the world erected by white men to a Negro. This is the statue of Falucho, a Negro soldier who refused to hall down the Argentine flag at the bidding of the Spanish soldier, during the first Argentine revolution, and was shot down by the Spanish. Aurora, Ill.—Mr. E. A. Hall, a well-known citizen, has been appointed to the position of street inspector. Mr. Hall is the son of Father Hall, the veterans A. M. E. preacher and founder of Quinn Chapel church, Chicago, and lives in Batavia, Ill. Every one throughout the Fox river district is pleased with this appointment. The State of Georgia spends annually for the education of white men and women in industrial and technical studies $324,000, and only a beggarly $8,000 for the education of colored persons in the same line. The attention of Col. Clark Howell, the usually fair-minded editor of the Atlanta Constitution, should be called to this discrimination, which works a hardship, not only upon the Negroes immediately affected, but robs the state of a large measure of valuable production which trained colored hands would yield. Prof. Roscoe Conkling Bruce is succeeding admirably as assistant superintendent of the Wasnitg ton schools, having full charge of the colored department, with nearly 20,000 pupils and about 600 teachers. In 1911, the appropriations for the colored schools amounted to $245,000, or 33 per cent. of the total for the schools. In 1912, the appropriations amounted to $284,000, or 34 per cent of the total. The estimates for 1913—not yet passed—call for $318,000, or 41 per cent. of the total amount appropriated for all the schools. The Negro represents about one-third of the population of the district. Former Register of the Treasury W. T. Vernon is the president of Campbell College, at Jackson, NO 52 Miss. The school is devoted to the higher education of the Negro, and is under the authority of the A M. E. Church Campbell College owns 1,000 acres of valuable farming lands a few miles east of Mound Bayou, and it is thought by some that steps will be taken to utalize this land for the agricultural and industrial training of a portion of Campbell's student body, embracing those that elect these courses. Dr. Vernon has a fine opportunity to develop this school into one of the best educational institutions in the South. He has found a great work. James Ray, a colored boy living with his mother at 2026 Sixth avenue, this city, has constructed a wireless machine that is perfect in its working in every detail. About two years ago James, his mother and sister made a trip to San Francisco on the steamer Governor. While on the voyage he saw for the first time a wireless telegraph. He became interested and soon became acquainted with the operator who gave him the first idea of the science. Since then he has read every book he could find pertaining to the subject, and today he is well versed in the different codes of wireless, and also well informed on many other scientific subjects. He is a deep thinker and a keen observer and converses fluently on many other subjects with which he is acquainted. He attends the public school and is in the eight grade.—Detroit Leader. Richmond, Va., August. 30. On the 6th day of August news was heralded to the four corners of the earth by the Associated Press as well as by telegrams that R. T. Hill, who had defrauded the savings bank in Richmond of thousands of dollars, had been captured in Memphis, Teun., and was in jail in Fulton, Ky. Detectives from this city with necessary papers from the governor were ordered to go to Kentucy at once. Meanwhile Dr. R. L. Oliver of Louisville, Ky., who had known R. T. Hill for many year, received a telegram from the official department of the Grand Fountain to go to Fulton, Ky., at once to identify R. T. Hill. On his arrival he found out that this suppose Reuben T. Hill was the wrong man. The detectives throughout the world are still on the hunt for the Reuben T. Hill.

The famous Rose carnivals of Portland and Pasadena have a rival in Bozeman's sweet pea carnival, which was ushered in under the most auspicious conditions. Chief of Police Sebastin issued an order to proprietors of Chinese and Japanese cafes in Los Angeles that they discharge immediately all of their white female employes. Federal incorporation of the Grand Army of the Republic probably will be the leading question to be considered at the national encampment which will begin at Los Angeles on Sept. 9. Fire which originated from a defective flue at the Casino café on the pleasure pier at Ocean park, at Los Angeles, caused one death and property loss estimated at $2,250,000.

Under authority conferred by the postoffice appropriation bill, Postmaster General Hitchcock has increased the salaries of rural letter carriers on standard routes from $1,000 to $1,100 a year, thus affecting 30,000 men, with proportionate increases to carriers on shorter routes. The order is effective Sept. 20. This will mean an increased disbursement of $4,000,000 a year. The increase provides rural carriers adequate compensation for additional burdens to be imposed by the parcels post system, effective Jan. 1. The total investment in irrigation work at present in the United States is $600,000,000, according to an announcement of the twentieth National Irrigation Congress at Salt Lake City Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, 2 and 3.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The Philadelphia Tribune has a philosopher on its staff who signs himself "Just Gone." In a recent issue of the Tribune he says: "There are some .mong us who seem to be worried because of the evident steady growth of color prejudice. They should remember that the proper thing to do is to stop worrying and bend their energies to improving conditions. Other classes have been as much despised as are we. For a Christian to associate with a Jew years ago was considered a degrading act. And yet by industry and economy the Jew has overcome it. The serf of Russia is not deprived of his rights because of his color, nor is the Irishman because of his brogue. The underlying cause in all such cases is condition, such as by comparison shows one class of people to be stronger than another. We must, therefore, develop our powers by all the means within our reach. Many of us grow enthusiastic over white peoples' business, but show little or no interest in affairs which concern us directly. We allow vice to flourish without an effort to check it; wrongs to be plotted against us without striving to checkmate them, and fakirs, both in church and civic life to pursue the even tenor of their ways while we smile; talk of their smart tricks, but make no organized effort to stop them in their mad career. As though unmindful of the fact that these things affect conditions." And it should not be overlooked that negroes have as much color prejudice as other sorts of people, and have as nasty a way of showing it. It is hard to find a negro who thinks and speaks well of another negro, before his face or behind his back. The Christian Recorder says: "Following the lead of Chicago, Philadelphia has appointed a commission to study the social evil, and the conditions creating vice in this community. This is a step forward. The Chicago commission has a colored member—our Bishop C. T. Shaffer. It is unfortunate that Philadelphia, with a larger colored population by twofold, has no such representation. For the vice question greatly concerns our people; not that we are given more to vice than others, but that, being poor, as a rule, many of our neighborhoods have forced upon them conditions which they are unable to prevent. It is notorious that a great deal of the vice of the white race is concentrated in colored communities. This condition deserves most careful study, and we are sure Philadelphia's commission will lose much of its efficiency because it has no person on it who has studied first hand and knows conditions among our hundred thousand people of color." The best way for a person to get things done for himself needful to be done is to take the lead in talking and doing them, and in a short time the things will be done. The negro ministers of Philadelphia, and of every other large city in the Union, should be an association in restraint of the social evil. In some cities they already have such, as in Chicago, but all the cities need it. Negroes of the large cities have got to organize themselves and combat immorality, crime and poverty as others do it. When they have so organized they become a factor to be counted in all of the uplift work in the community and to share in the moneys set apart by public appropriation or charitable benevolence to aid in improving and relieving immoral, criminal and indigent conditions. At the A. M. E. General conference in Kansas City, Dr. C. V. Roman said: The Negroes are only beginning to be a race. Racial consciousness has been lacking, but the Negro is finding himself. The material for a strong race is in him, but he faces the difficulties that every growing race has encountered—class prejudice and race prejudice. It has been said the Negro is dying out, but the race never was stronger than today. At the close of the civil war there were 4,000,000 Negroes in the United States; now there are 10,000,000. Mrs. John A. Cathey, 1201 College avenue, Memphis, Tenn., manager of the "All Star Musical Course," alleged that she was mistaken for a colored woman as a basis for her $50,000 damage suit against the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad filed in the Shelby county court, Tennessee. Funny thing about bargains. The people who offer them always get rich faster than those who take advantage of them. J. Pierpont Morgan promises Fisk university $25,000 if all of $240,000 less that amount is raised from other sources. More than half of the required sum has already been subscribed and collected. It takes the dark periods in our lives to make us conscious of the lives of others, just as it takes the darkened sky of night to reveal to us the existence of other worlds. Nine times out of ten pastime is time wasted. The Tuskegee Student quotes the following from Dr. Washington's talk to the summer school members at Tuskegee Institute, June 21: "How often is it true that you see a school-house that is a little old building out in a field somewhere—in a lonely spot, with no shelter near it? There is no sense in that. There is no reason why that building should not be alive with the activities that concern the people in that community. There is no reason why it should not be like many of the homes of the pupils in that community. In many cases, if you go inside, you will find that there is not a single thing taught there that has any relationship to the life of the people in that community. I might just as well be located 50 miles from that spot, so far as there is any vital connection between the school and the home life. "Whether you are in the city, town or country, study the life of the parents and their activities, and every time you get a chance, make a connection between what you are teaching in the school room and the life of the people. Suppose, for instance, you are teaching in the city and you have a problem relating to measurements. Suppose you find a room being plastered by colored mechanics. Instead of spending the time on a dead problem in a book, take your class to that room and let them measure the room. Let them figure the cost of lathing and plastering, not in an imaginary room, but in an actual room right there in the city, and those colored mechanics will begin to wake up and get interested in you. Moreover, the children will have an interest in the problem that they never would have had so long as they were dealing with a mere book problem." This is high class advice; but there are no dead problems in books; they all had life and meaning once as problems; when they ceased to be problems the spirit of them was transformed into new problems, with life and meaning in them, such as we have now. The problems of life are solved in the philosopher's library, as Plato, Bacon and Emerson solved them, and in the scientist's laboratory, as Marconi, Burbank and Edison solved them, before the school teacher, the preacher or the mechanic can apply them to the parents and children, they seek to instruct in the rudiments of mind, heart and hand education. At its forty-ninth annual commencement this year Wilberforce university conferred degrees upon 76 graduates. In addition the degree of LL. D. was conferred on-Bishop J. Albert Johnson of the South African diocese, Bishop Levi J. Coppin of Philadelphia, and Hon. J. C. Napier, register of the United States treasury. The degree M. A. was conferred upon Dr. A. H. Hathaway, president of the Edward Water college of Florida, and William Stewart, a brother of Chaplain Stewart of Wilberforce. Two degrees of D. D. were conferred. The board of trustees concluded its work by re-electing Prof. W. S. Scarborough president of the university and re-electing all of the old teachers and providing for two or three new ones, who will be named later. The university is still at work on a fund of $25,000 for a new science building. Its efforts in this campaign have just received the commendation of former Senator J. B. Foraker. Every one begins life allike—it's the finish that tells the story. After all it must be conceded that the white man who presides over a Negro audience has the advantage of a Negro, is the conclusion of Rev. Richard Carroll. I have had occasion to notice the proceedings of the M. E. colored church and other organizations that are presided over by white men. The Negro, as a rule, shows more repect to a white man than he does to his own race. There are less "pints" of order raised, less noise, better decorum. I have never known any one to attempt to insult a white presiding officer, especially a white bishop. Pullman porters are not being considered in the bill pending in congress to provide a remedy and compensation for accident injuries resulting in disability or death to employees of railroads and common carriers engaged in interstate or foreign commerce. An effort is being made to strengthen some of the weak points in what is known as the employers' liability and workmen's compensation act, with a view to protecting workingmen in the matter of compensation. In public education Texas is leading all other southern states. Last year it built two schoolhouses a day at a cost of $3,000,000. That's setting a pace worthy to be imitated by her sisters. No one is so particular in his des- cription of a thing as the man who is ordering the impossible and is too dumb to know it. "A stitch in time" is all right, but it isn't so pleasant when time begin to take stitches in you. FOR UNITED STATES SENATORS CONGRESSMEN AND STATE OFFICERS TO BE VOTED FOR AT PRIMARIES SEPT. 10.

Victor Pangranzi had previously confessed to the deed to shield the woman. Following the telling of the details of the tragedy, Pangranz reluctantly admitted that the woman was correct, and expressed regret that he could not be held in her place. "PRODUCE LIFE ARTIFICIALLY" PROF. SCHAEFER SAYS CHEMICAL REACTION CAN ORIGINATE LIFE. ALL LIVES FINALLY DIE TELLS SCIENCE CONGRESS PRODUCTION OF LIVING MATERIAL NOT FAR REMOTE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Dundee, Scotland.—The most interesting feature of the opening session of the British Association for the advancement of Science was the presidential address of Prof. E. A. Schaefer of Edinburgh University, which dealt with the nature, origin and maintenance of life. In his address he said: "We may fairly conclude that all changes in living substance are brought about by ordinary chemical and physical forces." Further on he said: "It has been proven that we can no longer consider such an apparently vital phenomenon as the fertilization of the egg as being the result of living material brought to it, since it is possible to start the process of division of the cell in the egg and the resulting formation of cells and ultimately of all the tissues and organs—in short, to bring about the development of the whole body—if a simple chemical reaction is substituted for the male element in the process of fertilization. We may even hope some day to see the material which composes the nucleus of cell life prepared by the combination of the proper substances." He said that research "seems to point to the conclusion that the possibility of the production of life—that is, of living material—is not so remote as has generally been assumed." SHERLEY MURDERED ZABRANSKY Brighton Gardener Declares Mireovsky and Yoder Are Innocent. Denver,—"I did it! I did it all alone! There was no one else in it but me. Dodge and Mireovsky and Yoder are innocent. I killed John Zabransky for his money. That is God's truth, and I will stand by this confession." With those words, Jacob H. Sherley, Jr., the Brighton truck gardener arrested in Cheyenne, made a clean breast of the Zabransky murder to Sheriff Herman J. Schloo of Adams county, absolutely freeing the suspects, Yoder, Dodge and Mireovsky, from all participation in the crime. Results of Nevada Primaries.

The political force which the Negro might exercise in the United States has never been developed along the lines which would tend toward his great- est good, because of reasons which the groping intelligence of the Negro has not given him ability to master. The long-continued dominance of the so- called race issue in the South has served to keep the white people of that sec- tion in unrelenting political enmity to him, and has deprived him almost entire ly of participation in poltical affairs of every description. ‘The unnecessarily bitter aspect of this proscription practiced in the South and kept at the point of highest tension by politicians, who have thus found a way to perpetuate their own personal rule, has created the feeling among the unrestricted Negro voters of the North that the liberties of the race everywhere in the nation were in danger, ‘and for this reason they have voted just as solidly and per. sistently for interests which seemed to be in opposition to the growth of na- tional power, among their southern persecutors. ‘The white people of the South and the black people of the North have thus devoted themselves to single political ideas, with results differing only in the superior relationships of one over the other. The white South has sacri- ficed ‘that higher political develompment which is common to other sections of the country,and has remained in the rear of other section industrially and commercially, The Negroes of the North have deprived themselves of all wider political experience because of the supposed necessity for clinging to one unchanging line of battle. Qut of this long-sustained condition is growing the belief that the Negro case is a useless and unnecessary source of political controversy between the white people of the nation. While politicians, both North and South, have been the chief beneficiaries In the maintenance of this unnatural condition of stress and passion, and the idea that the development and substitution of a new sys- tem whereby the Negro or race question shall be ignored politically, is slowly taking root among the white people of both political parties North and South. ‘Phe! ontward forms of justice do not keep the white people trom ruling, wherever they will, because of their superior intelligence and experience. Oth- er than political interests will preserve in their hands complete control. This is the new idea. And it is shared by the leading advocates of the oncoming regime in both of the great political parties. ‘The necessity for the develop- ment of new and independent thought on the part of the Negro is becoming greater antl greater. Upon his ability to grow and to adjust himself to chang- ing conditions must rest his security from being shifted from one dependency to another. THE PRIMARY ELECTION—INSTRUCTIONS. ‘uesday, September 10th, the first direct primary ¢ © new primary election law enacted by the la’ ime the people will have the long-sought opportu of the political parties to which they belong, | | the last general election 10 per cent of the tot: On next Tuesday, September 10th, the first direct primary election will be held under the new primary election law enacted by the late Legislature. For the first time the people will have the long-sought opportunity to choose the nominees of the political parties to which they belong, provided these parties cast at the last general election 10 per cent of the total vote. He tofore the people have complained, and with justice, about the evils of = old convention system. Whether they prize highly the power conferred upon them to substitute for that system their own direct choice will be revealed by the extent to which they avail themselves of the new opportunity. If they fail to exereise this power, they alone will be to blame, and will no (one have any right to complain of machine boss or corporation rule. ‘The Re: publican and Democratic parties are the only two which will bave any part in the primaries. The primaries for both parties will be held at the same time, in the same polling places, and under the supervision of the same election judges and clerks. A person desiring to vote enters the polling place. ‘The judges of election hand him two ballots, fastened together. One of these ballots contains the list of candidates seeking nomination before the Democrats of the state—the other is a Republican ballot containing the names of those nominated by the assembly and by petition, seeking nomi- nation at the hands of the Republicans of the state. ‘The voter enters the booth. If he is affiliated with the Republican party he takes the Republican ballot, votes for the ones he desires to nominate, folds up both ballots and walks out of the booth. He then hands the ballot he has marked—the Republican ballot—to one of the judges of election and it is placed in a box for marked ballots. ‘The other ballot—the Democratic ballot given him, which he did not mark— is placed in a receptacle for blank ballots. Keep this in mind: YOU MAY ONLY VOTE A REPUBLICAN OR A DEMOCRATIC TICKET AT THE COMING PRIMARIES. You will be handed two tickets containing the names of the candidates for nomination made by the assemblies or filed by petition for these two parties. In order that Democrats may not vote Republican tickets, or Republi- cans vote Democratic tickets in furtherance of a pre-arranged plan to pro- cure a nomination of some candidate dishonestly, the primary law provides a form of oath, in case a voter is challenged,.as follows: “1 DO HEREBY SOLEMNLY SWEAR (OR AFFIRM) THAT I AM A QUALIFIED VOTER, THAT I AM A MEMBER OF AND AFFILIATED WITH ONE OF THE POLITICAL PARTIES REPRESENTED BY BALLOT AT THIS PRIMARY ELECTION, AND THAT I WILL AT THIS ELECTION VOTE ONLY UNDER THE BALLOT AND ONLY FOR THE CANDIDATE OF THE POLITICAL PARTY OF WHICH I AM A MEMBER AND WITH WHICH I AM AFFILIATED.” After the polls are closed the marked or used ballots will be counted ‘The persons on the Republican ballots receiving the highest number of votes will be declared to be the Republican nominees for the different offices. In the same way those on the Democratic ballot receiving the highest number of votes will be declared to be the Democratic nominees. The result in the case of state offices will, of course, not be known until all the precincts in the state shall have been heard from. x ‘The method of voting is simple and will require but little time. It will give the members of the two leading parties the desired opportunity to ex- press their choice for party nominees. Everywhere in the state the primaries should be largely attended. All citizens who are members of either the Republican or the Democratic party are under an obligation to attend the pri- maries and discharge the duty of selecting nominees. It is second in im portance only to the duty to be discharged at the regular election in No- vember. y Saving Rule By JOHN M. OSKISON, Chicago JIAVE a philosophical friend in Wall street who Believes that the | small man ought to be encouraged and guided both in gaving and using money. THe sces in many men with a credit of only $200 at the bank the future rulers of industry and finance. He was talking the other day about saving of the right sort. ? “Really artistic saving,” he said, “consists in putting money aside and at the same tite dressing as well as anybody else, eating as well as anybody else and having generally as good a time as anybody else. “T have as little admiration for the man who makes himself miserable in order to save money as I haye for the man who lives an extravagant, thoughtless life and runs into debt. “The successful corporation is not the one of rash, improvident methods. Nor, yon will notice, is it the one which balks at spending money. Tt is the one which, systematizing its entire operations, spends money, the more the better, if only it spends it well. “So with the individual. He may spend money in a way to help him maintain his self-respect. He may spend money in a way to help him keep cheerfully energetic. And withal, by avoiding the ordinary wastes of everyday habits, he may save money. “Like the corporations, he must introduce ‘scientific inanagement’ into his personal and family life. He must adopt a system. He must stop the leaks and preserve what was formerly lost. He must create a sinking fund and invest it.” ‘This statement embodies a notion I have held for a long time. Look up the financial methods of some successful corporation and see how these methods compare with your own, ‘There's likely to be considerable point and profit in it. : Bey baat But now in many cases how different they are. Now we can hardly pick up a paper that hasn’t something about boys. Some try to burglarize a house. Some try picking pockets and it all ends in getting found out and going to pail. Our jails are full of them and after a boy has been caught do you think he can hold his head up again and be the same? No, he can not. | Ii always stays with him. His companions shun him; he gets to think no one cares for him; then he doesn’t care what he does, but follows the downward path. Mothers, you can belong to your clubs; you can be a leader of fashion, but while you are wrapped up in these things where is your boy, the idol of your heart? Ten to one, he is out with company that will lead him on to vice. Be a loving companion to your boys and girls; teach them to confide in yon; go with them if they want to go to places of amusement that are suitable for them; make yourself one of them and your life will be full of joy and contentment with the knowledge that you have done your duty and that you have brought your children up to be an honor to yourself and to society. ‘Too many lives have been ruined, too many hearts broken because of these foolish restrictions being placed on womankind, It is time for a change. Let the women act! Even the men themselves admit that the woman is the better judge of the situation in matters of love, so why should she be tied hand and foot in the matter of choosing her man? Again I say it is high time for the woman to come to the front when her intuition calls her, and save both herself and the man who lacks the courage to speak. nny! ploye nust rely on the good graces of the ‘The writer has seen several ins noting good work in an office, it | celing.

Why is it at the present age that there are so many boys and girls that are not what their parents would have them be?

Sooner or later she is going to meet him, and then—what?

How often are these promises kept? ‘ It seems to be the custom nowadays in business offices to employ a man from the outside whenever there is a vacancy, give him a larger salary than is given to the ones that have been faithful and give him more consideration, simply because he has a “pull.” In many cases the man thus em- ployed knows nothing of the business and sf the old employes for assistance. al instances of this nature.

FOODS WHICH CONTAIN SUGAR Vegetables, Grains and Frults Yield the Sugars We Eat—Must Be Well Cooked. Fruits, grains and vegetables con- tain the sugars we eat. Fruit sugars are directly absorbed Into the system without previous prep- aration by the digestive juices of the Intestines, and are almost the only food eaten by man of which this can de sald. The sugars found in cane, beets and the maple tree must under go the digestive process before they san be absorbed by the body. Grains contain the sugar in the form of starch. This sugar can only be developed by thorough cooking oF partially digesting starch, which {8 found in the form of small granules ‘aeased in a woody covering; when thoroughly cooked the granules burst this covering and can be reached by the saliva and good digestion {8 as- sured The starches, we have found, are the most abundant of all food ele- ments and are largely contained in seeds and plants. All of our cereals, breakfast foods, breads, legumes, etc., are about three-quarters starch, there- fore we can realize how important it is to cook them well. A form of sugar called “dextrine” ts developed In well cooked or partially digested starch, and scientists tell us there are twenty-five changes in dextrine be- tween raw starch and digested or fruit sugar. The sugar in vegetables appears also in the form of starch, in small quantities compared to that found in cereals, Most of them are made more digestible by cooking. The exception is green corn, which contains almost twenty per cent. of sugar in the place of starch, and therefore should be cooked a very short time. NEW PAPER CUPS FOR JELLY Little Vescels That Will Be Hailed With Delight by the Modern f Housekeeper, The new paper sanitary tumblers which have just come out ought to be hailec with delight by the modern housekeeper especially at preserving times. These little vessels are made from spruce pulp. They are treated with aseptic qualities at the mill be- fore being packed in cartons and shipped to the various stores and in these cartons sold to the housekeeper, 30 the only thing she has to do is to break the seal and the jelly jars are ready for use. ‘They are so inexpensive that they may easily be thrown away at the end of the winter season, says the Philadelphia Times. Each tumbler is treated with a wax process which en- ables the jelly to slip out as easily as from a glass Jar, Little round lids come for covering the vessels and slip into a small groove at the top. The hot liquor can be poured directly into these pa- per tumblers, haved inddinn Use old china cups or metal must- ard cups. Each cup is to be half filled with pitted pie cherries, a gen- erous teaspoonful of sugar and a pat of butter. Prepare a plain, sweet cake batter and drop one mixing-spoonful on each cup. Stand the cups in a long pan half full of boiling water. Place in the oven and bake quickly. The cake batter should puff up over the cups and bake a nice brown. To serve, turn each cup's contents upon a small plate, with the cherries on top. eee sete ’ 1 Fried Porgies. Scale clean, trim and wipe dry six small, fresh porgies; heat three table- spoons melted lard in a frying pan. add the fish, season with teaspoon salt and half teaspoon white pepper and fry for five minutes on each side, place on a hot dish; remove all the fat from the pan, place on a brisk fire with half ounce butter, toss the butter in the pan until a light brown, squeeze in the juice of half a sound lemon, adding one teaspoon chopped parsley; lightly toss, pour over fish, and serve. Varnished Paper. When varnished paper becomes dust covered it may be cleaned in this manner. To a pail half full of warm water add two tablespoonfuls of ammonia. Wash the paper with this mixture, using a flannel cloth. Then to a pail half full of water add two tablespoonfuls of turpentine. With a plece of chamols wipe the surface of the paper. This produces a polish. A Good Stew, One pound beef, two pounds pork chops, two onlons, cut up beef in small pleces, place in layers, season each layer with salt and pepper; use no wa- ter, but cover tight; place in a larger dish of boiling water. Do not uncover for three hours. There will be a nice lot of gravy when done. : Rum Omelet, Four eggs beaten separately, four teaspoonfuls water, four teaspoonfuls powdered sugar, pepper and salt.

I present myself as candidate for the house of Representatives. I am asking your support in the coming primary election, September 10, and hope to prove I am worthy of it, on the following claims of qualifications to serve you: I am possessed of a healthy body and active, inquiring and thinking mind, constant devotion to work and study that I may learn the right and do it and not only help my- self but be able to help other. Most of my life has been spent as a farmer but I have devoted enough time to other occupations to gain good knowl- edge of human nature and some of its needs. I hope from the knowledge and experience gained in this way to be able to be of service to mankind. I am not a fanatic on any subject. 1 realize the knowledge and wisdom and fitness to serve mankind comes from work and study and a thorough ming- ling with men. I consider the privi- lege to serve the state more than the emolument of the office. I regard persons more than property. I believe in and encourage the free and full de- velopment of public opinion and its recognition by those who serve the public an open mind, faithful service, fairness to all, the cultivation of cour- age and ability to meet conditions honestly and fairly as presented.

Conclusions Drawn About World's Harvest Prospects From Reports Received at the Department of Agriculture — Estimates Gathered From Almost Every Quarter. Washington.—The season of year has come when the department of agriculture is getting a line upon the growing crops of the world and drawing conclusions about harvest prospects. It affects the value of crops at home and also points with some accuracy to the likelihood of prices for foodstuffs six months hence. The department estimates are gathered from almost every quarter of the world, and include a vast deal of official information. All in all, it is more reliable than the information which comes from commercial sources, because of the evident interest of commercial authorities in influencing prices. The information of the department of agriculture is comprehensive. It furnishes much about the great food staple, wheat, but also much about feed for animals, about apples and divers fruits, barley and hops, in which brewers and malsters are concerned, flaxseed, which is of moment to the great paint industry, and so on through a long category. The wheat harvest in Europe is now beginning. It is plain that the yield is to be much better than last year. Russia in later times is always an uncertain factor as to wheat. The reports from that great domain are always late. It looks as though Russia would raise 780,000,000 bushels of that cereal this season, which is above the harvest id Russia during 1909 and 1910. The Russian wheat crop, depleted by severe drought, in 1911, amounted to hardly 500,000,000 bushels. Wheat conditions in central and western Europe are not quite as good as in 1911, and a wheat shortage of about 60,000,000 bushels is expected there; but, even taking this into account, there is promise that the wheat crop of all Europe this summer and autumn will be between 100,000,000 and 150,000,000 bushels more than in 1911. Field crops, each as oats and hay and other cereals, in which the European yield for 1911 was phenomenally small, are much better this season, but sufficiently short to warrant a continuance of good prices. The first cutting of hay in the European countries bordering upon the Atlantic ocean has been noticeably short. This will be felt the more keenly because the surplus crop carried over was almost nothing. The English wheat crop will be smaller than last year. The French wheat crop, although sown on 600,000 more acres than in 1911, will not exceed that year's yield materially. The great object of agriculture in France is to make the country self-sustaining, but this will be the third year when the French farmers, in spite of the high agricultural tariff for their protection, will not raise all the foodstuffs the nation will require. Imports of wheat into France were 75,000,000 bushels in 1910 and 125,000,000 bushels in 1911. The Spanish wheat crop has been seriously affected by drought this summer, and the product will be less than in 1911. The Italian wheat crop is expected to show some shortage over 1911. In the Scandinavian countries wheat, however, is promising well, but their crop is comparatively small. Wheat shortages are reported from Hungary and Roumania, but these will affect the international market rather than the consumption requirements at home. Canada has become a mighty factor in the raising of wheat to furnish bread for the world. The wheat acreage in Canada has been increasing by leaps and bounds in recent times, and it is claimed that 3,750,000 additional acres have been sown there during 1912. Nowadays men who study the world supply of food products are constantly looking away to the southern hemisphère. This is the beginning of winter in Argentina, but the outlook for a tremendous acreage of wheat there is much emphasized. More acres will be under wheat in Argentina this year than ever, and that is true also of flaxseed and oats in Australia the sowing has been retarded over a wide region by the lack of rain, and the drought will probably result in quite a reduction in the crop. Considerable anxiety exists through British India as to wheat, because the monsoons have not come with their customised force. BEEF SUPPLY LESS That the people of the United States are facing a serious beef famine, was the statement made the other day by an official of the bureau of animal industry. Government statistics on file at the department of agriculture show that in the last ten years there has been an increase in population in the United States of about 20 per cent, while the supply of beef cattle in that time has decreased 6,500,000, or 3 per cent. The supply of dairy cattle has kept pace with the increase of population. "The changed conditions of farming in the various parts of the country are the direct causes of the scarcity of beef cattle," said a government expert. "Under ordinary conditions the grass farmer who raises beef cattle turns them over to the corn farmer and he in turn supplies the market. The grazing grounds in the middle west have disappeared practically, and instead of buying beef steers from the grass farmer the corn feeder expects to go to the market and buy his stock. In Indiana, for example, statistics show that in the last ten years there has been a decrease of 280,000 in the supply of beef steers, because of the disappearance of grazing land. "The current reports on file in the bureau of animal husbandry show that although the receipts at the stock yards at Indianapolis and other cities are about normal, that there is a marked scarcity of fat cattle. Grain has been selling above normal, too, for some time and that has discouraged the feeders. "The remedy for the scarcity is to increase the breeding of beef cattle in the grazing belt of the United States." PEER OF NAVY. The battleship Colorado is the peer of the American navy in gunnery for ships of the battleship class. That vessel heads the list with a score of 71,618 for the fiscal year ended June 30-last. Her closest rival is the battleship Delaware, with a score of 51,434, with the New Hampshire third, score 39,961. In recognition of the showing made by the Colorado, the commendations of the secretary of the navy have been communicated by letter to Capt. W. A. Gill, her commander. The super-dreadnaughts Arkansasas and Wyoming, the newest ships of the American navy, will be placed in commission about Sept. 1. Capt. Roy C. Smith, now on special duty at the navy department, will command the Arkansas. The commander of the Wyoming, which will be the flagship of Rear-Admiral Hugo Osterhaus, commander-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet, has not been picked. ACTIVITIES WORLD-WIDE. The Smithsonian Institution has issued an attractive pamphlet describing, in part, the expeditions which it has organized or participated in during the field seasons of 1910-11, covering a wide variety of investigations conducted both in this country and abroad. During the last two years the institution has been represented in eighteen different exploration and field parties. The scope of these activities has been world-wide, but more recently especial attention has been directed to Africa and the Panama canal zone. Altogether the institution has had work in progress, under its various branches, in East Africa, Abyssinia, Algeria, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Panama canal zone, Aleutian islands, British Columbia, California, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Nebraska, New York, Maine, Massachusetts, Oklahoma and the District of Columbia. LESS "STYLISH" KIND WANTED There recently appeared in a Washington paper an advertisement, as follows: "Girl—American; 18 years old; pleasant mannered, smart, tidy, without artificial hair, powder or paint, to wait on store and soda fountain." The above advertisement shows to what extremes employers are forced to resort in order to obtain reliable help. The proprietor of the store who is advertising for a girl with the characteristics required above, but whose name is withheld, in an interview, said: "It is almost impossible to obtain a girl who does not paint or powder, or wear an immense coll of puffs. It may be the 'style' for a young girl to do all these things, but it does not pay from a business standpoint. I am forced to advertise for the less 'stylish' kind." CASH AN OLD DRAFT. The other day the post office department cashed a draft for $24.02, dated April 1, 1831. This draft was drawn by Assistant Postmaster-General Charles K. Gardner on James Millikin, postmaster of Tuscarora, Pa., in favor of David Kyle. It took many a long day's search through half a million forgotten and musty files before the draft could be finally certified. This research brought to light the fact that David Kyle, 81 years ago, was a mail carrier from Selin's Grove, Pa., through 10 villages to Fannettburgh, Pa. He made the trip once a week, and was paid $5.67 each week. The funny part of this payment is that the government contracted this debt five years before the department which paid it was created. WYOMING THE FASTEST. Uncle Sam's fastest big warship is the Wyoming, which makes a little over 22 knots an hour. That breaks all speed records for big-gun battleships. The naval expert board says that the Wyoming is the fastest battleship in the world carrying 12-inch guns. The Arkansas a few weeks ago made 21 knots an hour, which was a record-breaking performance at that time, but the Wyoming betters the Arkansas's average. Endless Trouble. "I've got nothing but trouble "Why don't you go to the baseball park and forget your troubles?" "I tried that the other day. The home team lost, and I came away with more trouble." MAKES HER TALKATIVE RAPIDITY OF BLOOD FLOW CAUSE OF FEMININE LOQUACITY. Sir James Crichton-Browne, English Scientist, Gives Explanation of Theory in Address Before Child-Study Society. For generations and even for ages uncounted woman has been the greater "talker" in the human race. All sorts of harmless fun has been poked at woman because of her love of conversation and her ability to rattle off more sentences in a given time than the average man has the ability to do. Now comes the great authority, Sir James Crichton-Browne, M. D., LL. D., F. R. S., president of the Child-Study Society in London, with an explanation of this. In his address before that body a few weeks ago he made this explanation, for the most part in somewhat technical language, but nevertheless intensely interesting. Reduced to simple words, Sir Crichton-Browne explains that the talkativeness of woman is due entirely to the difference in the flow, of blood to her head and the flow of blood in a man's head. The feminine brain gets the greatest supply of rich arterial blood at the posterior region of the brain, or back, while the best and biggest supply of blood to man's brain is in the anterior region, or front. Sir Crichton-Browne explains that the work of the two regions of the brain is different, that the back of the brain is mainly sensory and concerned with seeing and hearing. The front of the brain contains the centers of the will, the association centers which include appetites and desires based upon internal sensation. The brain is supplied with blood throughout, but in women the greater quantity of blood flows through the back of the brain, while with men the greater quantity of blood circulates through the front of the brain; thus the various brain centers are variously stimulated according to the blood supply. This, explains Sir James, is why women see things quicker, are quicker readers and faster talkers, why they talk with greater ease and enjoyment. Their delicate powers of sensuous perception, rapidity of thought and emotional sensibility are increased in comparison to those of man. On the other hand, the richer blood supply in the front region of the brain in man gives him greater originality on the higher lines of intellectual work, calmer judgment, stronger will and stronger power of volition. Hieroglyphics. Jules Janin, whose memory was recently honored by the placing of a memorial tablet on his house in Paris, was famous for two things, his great critical ability and his abominable handwriting. The anecdote that Gli Blas tells of the fate of one of his letters can hardly record an incident of very rare occurrence. One day a friend of Janin's received a letter from him. With great pains and patience he managed to gather from the few words he could declipher that it was about a matter of importance, but what the matter was he could not make out. There was nothing to do but to take a cab and drive directly to Janin's house. "Ah," said Janin, "it is you! So you have read my letter?" "Not at all," replied his friend. "I have just received it, and have come to ask you to read it to me." "Oh!!" said Janin, in a dazed, hopeless voice. Then with a sigh of supreme resignation, "Very well, I will try!" The Situation. One year, when the youngsters of a certain Illinois village met for the purpose of electing a captain of their baseball team for the coming season, it appeared that there were an excessive number of candidates for the post, and that more than the usual wrangling must ensue. Youngster after youngster presented his qualifications for the post; and the matter was still undecided, according to Lippincott's Magazine, when the son of the owner of the ball field stood up. He was a small, snub-nosed lad, with a plentiful supply of freckles, but he glanced about him with a dignified air of controlling the situation. "I'm going to be captain this year," he announced, convincingly, "or else father's old bull is going to be turned into the field." He was elected unanimously. A Tribute to American Railroads. A Tribute to American Railroads. A tribute to American railways is indirectly paid by Maj. Freeman, traffic manager of the railways of Delhi, India, during the recent durbar, which brought 200,000 visitors to that ancient capital. He says that the signally successful system adopted for train management at the durbar was founded on the American "A-B-C system," as evolved by Mr. Beamer, superintendent of the Northern Pacific road. The smoothness with which the railway traffic was handled is spoken of as having been one of the marvels of this historic occasion. What He Needed. The amateur golfer had not been doing very well and toward the close of the round he turned to the caddle and said: "Let me see; is that 195 or 196 strokes?" "I don't know, sir!" was the reply. "What you need is an adding machine, not a caddle."--Ladies' Home Journal. SURGEONS CANNOT PROVE CHAS. CARSON ISN'T SHAMMING. Even the Ether Test Failed to Loosen the Prisoner's Tongue After Silence of Nearly Three Years. Even the ether test left alienists absolutely undecided whether Charles Carson, a convict in Folsom penitentiary in California, had been stricken dumb or is shamming. He has not spoken a word in three years. Physicians say that although the test would have proved that Carson is not insane if he had talked, the negative result does not prove he is insane. The common effect of ether is to loosen the tongue while the subject is coming under or out of its effects. It was expected that Carson would lose voluntary control of his vocal organs and reply to questions put to him by the physicians. No sound escaped his lips. Yet when not under the influence of the drug, Carson conversed with his examiners in his usual manner, by shrugs and signs, and by pointing to letters in printed matter. He refused by a shake of his head to write, although it is known that his education makes him capable of it. "What do you think will be done to you if you are kept here?" he was asked. Carson gripped his neck with both hands to indicate the noose and raised his right arm to indicate the gallows. Carson was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1904 for assault and robbery. Two years later he was given a death sentence for his share in a murderous jail break. He is a South Carolinian and the only member of his family to escape drowning at the time of the submergence of Charleston by the tidal wave of the early '80s. Repeated reprieves have thus far saved him from hanging, and prison officials believing that his muteness was assumed and indicated insanity brought about the present investigation. When first overtaken by, or having assumed, the phase of insanity known as aphonia, or inability to use his laryngeal and pharyngeal organs, Carson also refused to eat. Food was forced upon him, however, and he remained quiet. From that time on he gave no sign to anyone that he was able to utter a sound. He made his wants known and answered questions by signs and shrugs. Physicians have found no evidence of physical disability which would cause muteness, and have refused to try the test by electricity, which they say would be torture. Wall Paper That Elies Hate Next time you are having your walls repapered you will be wise to choose colors that flies dislike. Some rooms seem infested with flies, while others are comparatively free from them. The secret lies in the general color of the room. The favorite color of flies is green. A doctor who recently made experiments with flies prepared a box on which he pasted squares of paper of the same size but different colors. On the square of green paper there were no fewer than eighteen flies. This was closely followed by a rose colored square with seventeen. After that came clear yellow, dark gray and white. The least attractive colors to the flies were lemon yellow, dark brown and blue. On papers of this color only one fly had settled. Plenty of attractive wall papers can be chosen from these three colors, and you will be rejoicing at your freedom from flies while your next door neighbor has her walls covered with them because her wall paper is green.—Pearson's Weekly. Not Thinking of Himself. When the sleight-of-hand artist calls one of the audience to "aid" in a trick, he generally manages to "get the laugh" on this obliging person, but not always. The following is told in Tit-Bits: The conjuror in the village schoolroom had invited any gentleman from the audience to step up on the platform, and a rustic in a velveteen coat responded. "Now, sir," said the professor, "I suppose you consider it a matter of impossibility for me to make that rabbit in the box on the table pass into your coattail pocket?" "I dunno about impossible," came the reply, "but I wouldn't do it if I was you, sir." "Oh, you'll be in no danger, I can assure you," smiled the sleight-of-hand man, alrily. "I worn't thinkin' about myself," the rustic answered. "I was studyin' the rabbit. I've got a couple of ferrets in that there pocket." A Social Leader's Complaint.

GULICK LOVER OF OUTDOOR LIFE Every summer, Mrs. Luther M. Guilck, foremost among women outdoor lovers in America, closes her city home, and joyfully hies her to the forests to become a tent-dweller for the space of six months. The time seems all too short to her, for she not only enjoys the delights of nature herself, but sees that thirty girls enjoy them too. lovers In America, closes her city home, and joyfully hies her to the forests to become a tent-dweller for the space of six months. The time seems all too short to her, for she not only enjoys the delights of nature herself, but sees that thirty girls enjoy them too. In short, Mrs. Gu- lick, knowing what outdoor life means, or should mean to a girl has instituted a sort of summer camp for girls up in Casco, Maine, which camp is probably one of the most unique in the world. "With the exception of two years, I have really lived in tents whenever it was possible, all my life," says Mrs. Gullick; "and no one who has not undergone the same experience, can even imagine what it means. To sleep under the stars on a bed of pine boughs—to build your own eyre in a tree top, to sit by the camp-fire in the evening with the soft hoot of the owl in your ears, and the sighing of the pine branches all around you—to flash through silver water like a fish, paddle your own canoe around rocky ends of headlands in search of undiscovered country—there is no life or pleasure in the world so natural and free. Every year my husband and I go on what we call our annual wedding trip; and every year we are assigned to the bridal room on steamboats or railways, as we are usually taken for a newly married couple on account, I suppose, of my brand-new outing togs. He is as devoted as I, to outdoor life and sports, and we have brought up our family of three daughters and one son to feel the same." Mrs. Gulick, however, has introduced a new-old spirit into the outdoor life. She feels that much of the old, wild romance of America passed with its first dwellers—the Indians—and she has set herself in a measure, the task of restoring and cultivating this spirit in her summer camp. Thirty girls become members of this camp every summer, and they preserve as far as feasible, the traditions and customs of those Indians of the olden days. Each girl has her buffalo robe, her ceremonial dress, her moccasins, her symbolic beads. They sit in council on the last day of the week, often on the banks of a singing stream, with only the rustling of the tree branches to break the silence, until their voices rise in the chanting of the Omaha Tribal prayer. The council fire is lit in true Indian fashion—by the rubbing of sticks—which ceremony is performed by one of the maidens whose buck-skin dress, hair in two heavy braids, fastened only by the embroidered bead band across the forehead, and soft-stopping moccasins, make her a veritable daughter of the forest, after which comes the roll-call, each maiden responding to her musical Indian name. Mrs. Gulick, wearing her own ceremonial robe with its beads and embroidered symbols of outdoor sports in which she has acquired herself with honor, rules the camp—illustrated Sunday Magazine. AMBASSADOR O'BRIEN'S FINE HOME IN ROME Ambassador O'Brien has provided himself with a home in Rome that is worthy of the representative of a power like the United States. but he could not do it if he was not almost as rich as Rockefeller. Be it understood that in Rome the ambassador of a great country is scarcely recognized and loses much prestige if he lives in worthy of the representative of a power like the United States. but he could not do it if he was not almost as rich as Rockefeller. Be it understood that in Rome the ambassador of a great country is scarcely recognized and loses much prestige if he lives in a modern house or villa residence. In Rome there are many magnificent old palaces, rich with paintings and tapestry and century-old furniture, which can be rented; but, oh, the cost of it. The French ambassador occupies the Palazzo Farnese, a national monument in itself; the Austrian ambassador lives in the Palazzo Venezia, a stronghold so called because it belonged to the republic of Venice; the ambassador of Spain has the Palazzo di Spagna, which for centuries has housed grandees of that country; the German ambassador has the Palazzo Caffarelli, which from the heights of the capitol frowns over the Eternal City below; the Japanese ambassador lives in the historic Palazzo Altieri, erected in 1670. Mr. O'Brien has signed a contract to occupy a gorgeous apartment in the Palazzo Barberini, the most imposing structure of the Renaissance, begun by the great architect, Maderna, in 1624, and finished by the ubiquitous Benini. The palace is more than royal and is surrounded by one of the most magnificent gardens in Rome, full of stately pine trees and sweet-scented orange groves. "They must have needed an interpreter." "Why?" "She talks golf and he talks baseball." LADY MARJORIE MANNERS BECOMES MARQUIS' BRIDE LADY MARJORIE MANNERS BECOMES MARQUIS' BRIDE Bow low to her—Lady Marjorie Manners, eldest daughter of the Duke of Rutland, is now the Marchioness of Anglesey! MARIA MARIA After ten years of suspense this "most beautiful girl in the king-dom," as Queen Alexandra called her, was the other day married to one of England's richest peers. Lord Anglesey has a real $1,000,000 a year. What is something more, he is considered the handsomest man in all the house of lords. He has been in this country several times, always after big game. London society—and this includes very many Americans—is all upset about the newest betrothal, quite the most important of the year. It is the greatest surprise of the season now ending. Designing dowagers have been angling after Anglesey ever since he came so unexpectedly into his marquisate and his millions in 1905, and all but one of them are now beaten. Anglesey was only a cousin of the title—and the money—when it all suddenly came to him. That bejeweled young fop, the fifth Marquis of Anglesey, was his cousin. Crazy about clothes, actresses and display, he knew not how to enjoy the great wealth which was his. He died suddenly at Monte Carlo, and his body was flung into the suicide's patch awaiting orders from England. Finally it was shipped there in a plain deal packing case, and only a score of persons attended the quiet funeral of the young man who had a million a year and didn't know how to spend it properly. And so to plain Charles Paget, his cousin, went the money and the title. This young chap was cast in a wholly different mold. Good-looking, clever, fond of life and people, he had spent his modest nineteen years in all simplicity. He found his vast estates—40,000 acres make up his domain—quite encumbered. Even then they were worth $400,000 a year in income to him, but careful management has put them back where they were when his eccentric cousin inherited them. Today they are worth half a hundred million dollars and bring him in two hundred thousand pounds sterling a year income, which is the American equivalent of a million dollars a year. Lady Marjorie was born in a tent near Las Vegas, N. M., when her parents were spending a vacation there in 1883. The bride is two years older than her husband. VICE-PRESIDENT'S WIFE ACKNOWLEDGES MANY FADS Mrs. Sherman, wife of the vice president, acknowledges many fads, and says that the more varied the interests woman has in life the younger she keeps. In the past 10 years she has possessed more leisure for such occupation as flowers, books, patriotic and philanthropic work than in the days when her children were small and her husa and says that the more varied the interests woman has in life the younger she keeps. In the past 10 years she has possessed more leisure for such occupation as flowers, books, patriotic and philanthropic work than in the days when her children were small and her husband just beginning a career which has rounded out with the vice presidency of the nation. One of her chief joys is in the love of growing things, and as the years have passed she has added extensively to the modest greeneries, ferneries and gardens of her Utica home. Since her marriage Mrs. Sherman has managed her end of the dual responsibility of making a home, and has taken entire control of domestic matters. It was she who selected and in many instances planted the many choice trees, shrubs and flowers that fill the well-planned gardens, and it is she who attends to the house plants and their transfer into winter quarters. For years Mrs. Sherman made it a habit not to go to Washington until after Christmas, in order that she might give undivided care to the plants removed from the grounds and distributed through her home and placed in the greenhouse. For years also she discouraged her husband in getting a Washington home, for the reason that her plants and flowers are such an essential part of it that she could not conceive a pleasant environment without them. Among the large and influential group of New Yorkers resident in Washington she is held in particular esteem, and in a way a sort of dean and arbiter of social affairs for them. Obliged Him.

Many of Them Pathetic, Has Recently Been Installed in Hall of History in the National Museum. An interesting collection has recently been installed in the hall of history in the National museum, consisting of articles donated and lent by Mrs. George A. Custer, widow of Brevet Major General George A. Custer, U. S. A. BANK General Custer is immortally remembered by his achievements in the many Indian fights in which he participated, and by his record as an Indian scout. The collection includes a memento of this phase of his career, in the form of the white buckskin coat in which he has been most often pictured as a plainman and scout. This coat is in excellent condition and looks as if the general had just removed it and hung it up. It has deep collar and cuffs and is heavily fringed with slashed buckskin trimming. The pockets are made much as in modern sporting coats, while the buttons are of the regular army pattern of the period. This coat calls to mind the services which General Custer rendered to the government in the campaigns against the Sloux in 1875 and 1876, in the last of which, the battle of the Little Big Horn, he met his death. Accompanying the coat is a yellow plumed cavalry helmet and a buckskin gauntlet, both worn during his active service against the Indians from 1866 to 1876, while lieutenant colonel, Seventh cavalry, U. S. A. There is also a blue regulation army officer's coat, with two starred straps, plush collar and cuffs—the coat which he wore on the occasion of his marriage to Miss Elizabeth Bacon, February 9, 1864. A straight cavalry saber of tremendous size is also included in the collection. It was a spoil of war captured by Major Drew, who presented it to General Custer, since he knew no other man able to wield such a large weapon. It has a Toledo blade, on which is engraved in Spanish, "Do not draw without cause and do not sheath me without honor." A Virginia state flag, a prize of the general's personal prowess, captured by him in 1861, when a lieutenant, is also on display. It is supposed to be the first standard captured by the Army of the Potomac. One object of great historical significance, though of rather an unromantic nature, is half of a white towel which figured conspicuously in the battle just preceding the surrender of General Lee at Appomattox. It seems that while General Lee had gone to the rear of the confederate lines to secure an interview with General Grant, leaving General Longstreet in command, General Gordon's division became hard pressed by the enemy and called on Longstreet for assistance. Not being able to furnish assistance at that time Longstreet sent his inspector general, Maj. J. R. M. Simms, to suggest to Gordon the sending of a flag of truce to the federalals, requesting a suspension of hostilities pending the interview between Lee and Grant. Following this suggestion, Gordon at once dispatched Simms to Federal Commander Sheridan with this request. As Major Simms galloped toward the lines of the federals he searched his haversack for something white to cover his advance, but found only a towel. This he drew out and waved above his head as he approached the enemy. The Union soldiers caught sight of the white towel, held their fire, and under this improvised flag, Simms was allowed to enter the lines, where he was met by Colonel Whittaker and taken to General Custer, who was in command of that part of the field. Neither of these officers, however, cared to declare a temporary cessation of hostilities just then, feeling that they held the southern army at their mercy. So Simms was obliged to return to his own lines without accomplishing his purpose. He left the truce towel in the hands of Colonel Whittaker, who took half of it and gave the other portion to General Custer. Most important among this collection of war relics is a little oval table of wood, much battered and scarred, on which General Grant wrote the letter containing the terms of the surrender of General Lee at the home of Wilmer McLean, near Appomattox Courthouse, Va. Great Seal of House The great seal of the house of representatives, which has been in continuous use since 1830, will be laid aside as a historic relic just as soon as Chief Clerk Jerry Smith can have a new one manufactured. The old seal has been worn until it makes only a dim impression. It contains 24 stars, representing the 24 states constituting the Union at the time of its adoption. The new seal will be identical with the old one in every respect except that it will contain 48 stars, representing the 48 states of the Union at the present time. The old seal will probably be deposited in the National museum. Uncle Sam's Patent Office Is Working Overtime on Some Unheard-of Novelties. Uncle Sam's idea factory (otherwise known as the patent office) is working overtime. Its output has never been so great as at present, and some of the novelties it is turning out in the way of brain products are both valuable and interesting. Take, for example, the "bubble hat," which is so new that it has not yet had a chance to become fashionable. In the top of this article of feminine headgear (which may be made of any pattern that is most becoming) is placed a cup-shaped receptacle partially filled with a soap and water solution—the very stuff, in fact, for making soap bubbles. The cup is connected by a concealed rubber tube with a little metal cylinder which is conveniently hidden in some part of the dress. The cylinder contains hydrogen gas under pressure. A push with the thumb on a platon opens a valve and allows some of the gas to escape through the tube, with the result that a soap bubble forms in the cup and rises into the air. Of a much more extended usefulness, however, are the "artificial eyelashes" which a lady of Ottawa has recently patented in this country. An Ohio man is the originator of the rubber warship. He thinks that our fighting vessels would be much more efficient if they were built of rubber instead of steel. Just imagine. The new battleship Caoutchouc comes upon an enemy in midocean The latter at once opens fire at short range. The first shot misses; the second strikes the Caoutchouc squarely amidships, and, bounding back, carries away the dastard foe's smoke-stack, the cook's galley and all the captain's official brie-a-brac. Many more just as queer could be named. BLUE LAWS ARE ENFORCED Washingtonians Hit When Maryland Sheriff Clamps Down and Clinches the Lid. An extraordinary, utterly unprecedented aridity prevailed at the Chevy Chase club the other Sunday, Golfers returning from the links sat down on the plaizzas and slaked their thirst with plain water. Fair motorists who had journey out from Washington and found their throats dry from a little dust called for lemonade and got none. Such a thing as a highball or a gin rickey was absolutely unthinkable. Men who found themselves out of cigars or cigarettes called "Here, George," in vain. The Maryland blue laws were rigorously enforced. Similarly at Chevy Chase lake the same night there was nothing doing in the selling and buying line. No cigars were sold, no soft drinks. The shooters did not shoot in the gallery. Broncho Charley Anderson did not ride desperately to foll the villain in the moving picture theater, and the merry-go-round did not go around. At Glen Echo the Ferris wheel was as still as the Washington monument. A band concert was given, but nothing else was doing. Some time ago Sheriff Howard visited Chevy Chase lake and the Chevy Chase club and other places in his jurisdiction and gave warning that the lid would be clamped on tight and clinched from the under side. The lid went on according to specifications. MANY CATS BEING KILLED Capital City Police Force Destroying Them at Rate of 50 a Day. At the rate of 50 a day cats of the District of Columbia are being killed off by the capital police. More than 200 have been slain within a month and a half. The slaughter was ordered by the district commissioners, who believe that the capital of the nation is threatened with a real, serious cat problem. It is estimated that Washington has more cats than any other city in the world. Cats eat the song birds that nest in the shrubbery that beautifies the capital grounds and kill the squirrels that romp in the city parks. They wail in the back yards of statesmen and make them nervous. They fight on Pennsylvania avenue at night and attract crowds. "Kill cats—stray cats, unattended cats, any sort of cats," is the substance of the order issued to the police. Took Money Through Error. An annual contribution to the government's conscience fund reached the treasury department the other day. It was a $20 bill in an anonymous letter posted at Syracuse, N. Y. The writer stated that he desired to return the amount, which was not stolen or taken with intent, but through an error. Most persons sending "conscience" money to the treasury department admit or intimate that they had either taken the money or in some manner defrauded the government. The latest contribution was addressed to the interior department and forwarded to the treasury department. Surprise for Cannon The capitol hall of fame soon will be adorned by a bust in marble of Representative Joseph B. Cannon of Illinois. The work is being done by Albert J. Jeagens and is to cost $2,000. One hundred members of congress, Democrats and Republicans, friends of the former speaker, are behind the little surprise for the ex speaker. They subscribed $20 apleca. GIRL CAPTURED BY BRIGANDS FINDS HERO By JOHN PHILIP ORTH. Miss Clare Benson had the pony and phaeton brought around to the door of her father's house in Bellville that she might take a drive down the Shady Beech road. She stepped into the vehicle, gathered up the lines and gave the pony a cut with the whip and was off. A man always utters a cluck to start a horse; a woman always gives him a cut. After a drive of three miles Miss Claire turned out of the road and hitched the pony and then strolled into a grove to sit down and think as the summer breeze sighed through the branches above her head. The girl thought and thought and thought! She had got it about settled in her mind that her hero would never come along, when a chipmunk ran along the ground before her and dived into his burrow. "Poor thing—he shall not smother down there because he fears me!" exclaimed the tender-hearted girl as she rose up and looked around for help. In a moment more she was running through the woods, thinking she heard the voices of men. She was right about that. She hadn't taken a hundred steps when three brigands lying hidden in a hollow leaped up and came rushing at her. They wore rough clothes; they had long hair; their whiskers were black as the ace of spades and matted with leaves. "Seize her and to horse!" shouted the leader. Miss Claire was duly seized. She wanted to stop and explain about that suffering, suffocating chipmunk, but the brigands were hustlers and they made her hustle, too. In a minute and a half three horses were reached, and the leader of the brigands shouted: "Keep the sheriff off, boys, until I can get a little start!" And then there were whoops from the bushes across a creek, and the reports of firearms from all around, and Miss Claire was hustled further. That is, the leader mounted his cayuse and she was grabbed and hoisted up to him and the beast started off on a run for life. "After 'em, boys!" "Shoot 'em down like dogs!" "No quarter to brigands!" "KI-yi! Whoo!" Miss Claire only partly lost consciousness. It was a wild ride up and down hills—across meadows and through thickets, and she prayed that the sheriff's party would not fall. It was wonderful how very quickly that suffering chipmunk was forgotten. At length justice prevailed, as it always should, but never does when the other man has the most money to spend on lawyers. The two brigands covering the retreat were killed off after being struck in vital parts about thirty times apiece and then the leader's horse gave a stumble and a groan and fell to breathe his last. Nobody hurt in the fall—merely bounced some more. Behind the carcass knelt the last and the most desperate of the brigands and emptied his guns at the advancing foe and then died with the sacred name of "mother" on his ashen lips. Then the sheriff's posse dashed in with whoops of victory. Miss Claire Benson lay sprawled out in a graceful and picturesque position. "Who are you, and how did you happen to butt in here!" "She's the girl." answered the brigand leader who had died and come again to life with promptness and dispatch. "The girl be hanged! You made a mistake! There is the girl over there you should have carried off, but she was late, in getting here. Nice sort of a thing you've done!" Miss Claire recovered her dignity, and as the "sheriff" stepped forward and raised his hat she demanded in turn: "Sir, will you explain this outrage?" "I'll try to, miss, and beg your pardon a thousand times over. We are moving picture actors, and are out here acting a play for a reel. The girl who was to be carried off by the brigands is a farmer's daughter, but through some blunder she didn't reach her assigned place in time. It seems you were there, and the brigands thought it was all right to go ahead. isn't it so, Mr. Aldrich?" The brigand leader had doffed hat, wig and whiskers and laid aside his guns and bandolier, and he now appeared as a fine looking young man. With a bow and a smile he said: "It's my fault, and I can't hope to be forgiven. I think you tried to make an explanation, but it was too late then. Our cue was out and we had to hustle. You were in the woods to gather flowers?" His query reminded Miss Claire of that poor chipmunk, and she forgot all else temporarily and cried out: "Some one must come with me at once! There's a poor little animal dying back there!" With her hand in Mr. Aldrich's they hastened back to the woods with scarcely a word between them, and presently arrived at the tragic spot. When the chipmunk business had been explained the young man sat down on a log and laughed. It was three months later when Mr. Benson felt it his duty to say: "Claire, I could never give my consent to your marrying an actor." "I don't expect one to ask for my hand," was the reply. "But this—this Mr. Aldrich?" "Oh, he went into the coffee trust long ago!"

[Image of a woman in a long dress and wide-brimmed hat, seated on a bench, with her arms gracefully extended.] The gown is built of an underskirt of white crape and an overdress in the peplum style, the edges of which are trimmed with small pearls. A chiffon draped waist completes the costume. This gown is very effective for afternoon teas and garden parties. They May Be Made of Lace, Eyelet Embroidery and Chintz With Silk Linings. Keep the lace covers on candle shades separate from the lining so they can be laundered easily. They are quickly tacked to the linen or silk lining, with bead fringe and mica lined, that comes in various shades of green, white, pink, blue, red and yellow, and costs about forty cents apiece. Another cover for these linings is the lingerie one made of sheer white linen, embroidered in mercerized cotton in eyelet designs. A distinctive set has a fine buttonholed scallop at top and bottom, a bunch of conventionalized forget-me-nots at one side and on the other a medallion in eyelet work with the monogram of the owner done in raised satin stitch within. Even newer is the white candlestick cover of thin white linen crash worked in punch work background, with raised design. This is finished with pliot edge or a knotted cotton fringe. The girl who likes raffia work can weave fancy covers in the natural or tinted raffia and use it over the beaded linings in tint to harmonize. A popular shade is made of overlapping silk petals with bead fringe. These come in green, yellow, red, old rose, blue and pink. The same shades can be found in the electric shade made to fit 16-candle power bulbs. For bedroom use a pretty candle shade is made of the quaint English chintz or a rather thin cretonne. The heading at top and bottom is of guimpe in harmonizing tone or the guimpe may be used at the top only and a cotton ball fringe at the bottom. New Medici Collars. The new Medici collars, distinguished by extended ruff effects in the back, are gaining wider representation and will no doubt be welcomed on all sides, says the Dry Goods Economist. The Medici have the advantage of being more generally becoming than many of the Robespierre styles. The general effect is softer and more youthful, while the extended ruff in the back affords a delightful finish. Fine nets nets and batistes in combination with shadow laces and hand embroidery are favored in the development of some of the most striking novelties. Great individuality is given to this style by the cut of the jabot or vest effect with which it is finished. Leather Collars. Leather collar and cuff sets of Dutch style are, possibly, the newest of all the generous host of novelties at the neckwear counter. The collars are made of kid, with bands of suede outlining them, and the fronts, left slightly open, are fastened across with two buckled straps. The cuffs are of the same style fastened with straps and buckles. There are collars and cuffs of white kid, with outside bands and straps of suede in white, gray, green, or blue, and there are black suede sets with bands and straps of white. These latter have white pearl buckles. The leather sets are used with little silk frocks, with heavy linens, gowns, tailored coats. Pearls and Laces. An original head dress is a simple mob cap of lace, encircled with a string of priceless pearls, and with one of the new straight feather algrettes standing erect in the front. For the girl whose hair is not one of her best points these caps are a godsend; but it always seems to me a pity to cover up so completely a really pretty head of hair Burden of Feminine Headgear If Placed on Animals Would Cause Protest. Grant Ramsay believes that if dumb animals were forced to carry such burdens as the large hats now affected by some women, protests would be made in the name of humanity. Women were even more overburdened in mid Victorian days. According to Herr Otto Fischel, whose "Costume in the Nineteenth Century" is written with German thoroughness, "about 1856 a woman of fashion wore a flannel petticoat, an underpetticoat three and one-half yards wide, a petticoat wadded to the knees and stiffened in the upper part with whalebones, a petticoat with three stiffly starched flounces, two muslin petticoats and then a skirt. "Even if all these were made of light stuff, the weight and discomfort of such a quantity of material was so great that the idea of a steel crinoline was greeted enthusiastically, and the inventor cleared $150,000 out of it in a fortnight.—London Chronicle. VISITING DRESS Golden brown Shantung is employed for our simple and effective model, which has the skirt made with a wide front set on with wrapped seams and trimmed at foot by two lace revers with a button and loop sewn at the points; small buttons trim the sides. The Magyar bodice has a yoke and collar of plaited lawn; the sleeves are also edged with it; pieces of the lace trim the sleeves, also the front of bodice, and form revers.
