LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Green Tells Of Experience Head of the Knights of Pythias Put in Jail Where He Remained All Night Next Morning Was Fined $25 for Violating the "Jim Crow" Law. Train Conductor Said to Have Started Trouble. VOL. XIX. Green T Ex Head of the Knights of Pythias Pu All Night Next Morning Was I Crow" Law. Train Conductor New Orleans, La., June 3.—S. W. Green, who barely escaped lynching at the hands of white toughs in Florida several days ago, has given out the following statement in connection with the disgraceful incident: "I arrived home safely Wednesday night, after an unexpected and unusual experience with a Florida mob. While quietly occupying a seat in the Pullman on Sunday, May 18, the train conductor informed me that the sentiment in the day coach occupied by white people was opposed to my riding in the Pullman car and that he would advise that I take a seat in the day coach for colored people. While he admitted that I was clearly within my rights under the law, but in order to avoid trouble I could go in the day coach, if I so desired. I readily consented to take a seat in the day coach in order to avoid any trouble. "I paid extra fare for the drawing room from Jacksonville to New Orleans and felt myself secure as being entirely separate from the white passengers, without any need of being in their presence, as I kept the door closed at all times. To my surprise when the train arrived at River Junction, Fla, en route to this city, I was informed by the conductor of the sleeping car that expressions from some of the white persons at the depot at River Junction were decidedly against my occupying even the drawing room in the Pullman car. I, then readily consented to abandon the drawing room and go into the day coach in order to avoid trouble. "Upon my arrival at De Funiak Springs, Fla., a large crowd of young white men and boys had gathered on the outside of the coach and were pointing to me while I sat in the day coach for colored passengers. Just before arriving at Milton, Fla., I was in the day coach and some one claiming to have a warrant for my arrest caught hold of my hand and I went with him out of the coach and the train pulled out. A crowd of about 17 or 18 persons surrounded me with one large man on each side of me, holding each hand and accompanied me from the depot into the town where they carried me to jail and interviewed me. Af- ter learning my name, residence and the position I occupied and the duties I was called upon to perform, the crowd seemed to become somewhat appeased and I was then placed in jail by the deputy sheriff, Mr. Martin. "The next morning I was carried before a justice of the peace and allowed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor and fined $25 and costs for violating the 'Jim Crow' law. "I wish to add that for the past five years I have traveled to and from Jacksonville, Fla., over this same road every year occupying Pullman berths, drawing room, without molestation on the part of any person and have frequently, while traveling got off the train and greeted my friends and acquaintances and went back to my seat or drawing room in the Pullman car. The trouble seemed to have started when the train conductor inquired as to how I came in possession of the ticket for the berth and when he was informed, stated that he had been in charge of trains over that road for the past 17 years and had never seen a colored person occupy space in the Pullman car." JUDGE CARPEN- TER'S DECISION (Richmond Planet) Judge Carpenter on Wednesday, June 4, 1913 at Chicago, Ill., saw fit to over-rule Jack Johnson's plea to set aside the verdict and proceeded to sentence the prisoner at the bar to pay a fine of one thousand dollars and to serve one year and a day in the penitentiary. Counsel for the Champion of the World noted an appeal and Johnson announced that he would continue the fight. We have believed all along that Johnson's enemies had made up their minds that he should wear the stripes of a convict. Under Federal law, the judge can release the prisoner under a suspended sentence. Judge Carpenter's remarks indicate that he will not do this. Jack Johnson can reduce his time of incarceration by good conduct or he can be released on parole after six months. The feeling DENVER. COLORADO. SATURDAY. JUNE 14 1913. State Hist & Nat Hist Bodies State House CE PI ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO against him is so intense that there is little hope that he can win by an appeal to a higher court. Every branch of the government is permeated with race prejudice and the latest reports from the white house show that it has found an abiding place there. There has been no colored man in the history of the country who has done more to injure himself in particular and the colored people in general than Mr. Jack Johnson. He agitated this debilitating race question, this inter marriage of the races, just when the country was least prepared for it. Coming from Texas, the hot-bed of racial antipathy, he violated every rule of decency and looked with suspicion upon every rule of right. He never considered that "every thing lawful is not expedient" and he proceeded to do the wrong thing at the wrong time. His associates and boon companions are largely responsible for his undoing. Still, we regret to see a man of his type and calibre enter the walls of the penitentiary. The championship belt goes with him. The keepers there, in all probability will so arrange it, that when he comes forth at the expiration of his term, he will be an "easy mark" for a third rate heavy weight. "The way of the transgressor is hard." Money that comes easy, goes easier. Johnson has sowed the wind; he is reaping the whirlwind. There are sad hearts in this country today among the colored people. Their idol is shattered. The man that stirred the innermost recesses of their hearts lies prostrate in the dust, a victim to his own lust, passion and appetite. It is painful to contemplate. There is mourning in the Southland. Farewell, Jack Johnson! JAPAN DOES NOT WANT AMERICAN MISSIONARIES Tokio, May 30.—The newspaper Yorodzu fiercely attacks America and terms America a heathen people. It says: "If any other Power were treated like Japan war would be inevitable, and if Japan tamely tolerates the same her national dignity is forfeited. "American missionaries are not wanted here. They would teach their own country. Japan would not grieve if intercourse with America were suspended." Mr Nakano, president of the Tokio Chamber of Commerce, bitterly assails the secretive policy of the Foreign Office in concealing from the public the full details of the American reply to Japan's protest and her consent to the prohibition of Japanese emigration to Hawaii. The Osaka Mainichi advises --- that Japan propose the cession of the Philippines in exchange for the exclusion of Japanese residents and immigrants. NOTES ON NEGRO PROGRESS AS FURNISHED BY THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE A Negro real estate concern has begun an $8,000 flat in Memphis, Tenn. The Yale Locksmithing Company is a prosperous Negro Locksmithing and technical supply firm of St. Louis. At a recent meeting in Memphis, Tenn., of the Endowment Board of the Court of Calanthe of Tennessee, the treasurer reported "over $15,000 in cash" in the exchequer. The colored business men of Chicago recently met in the Hotel Baker to further consolidate business relations among Negroes and to give employment to intelligent, thrifty members of the race. The National Home Builders Army is a Negro real estate organization of Austin, Tex. Its purpose is "to aid colored people to buy and improve homes in the city and country." It seeks business not only in its own town but in any town or part of the country. The Negroes of Washington, District of Columbia, have a bank of their own. It was opened May 1st and is to be known as the Industrial Savings Bank. The institution was organized on the 6th of February, 1913, in the office of the Laborers and Mechanics Realty Company, with a minimum stock of $5,000, shares valued at $10 each. These shares were all sold one week from the date of organization. JACK JOHNSON GETS FIVE MORE DAYS OF LIBERTY Chicago, June 12.—Jack Johnson, Negro heavyweight prize fighter, obtained five days of freedom when Federal Judge Carpenter today granted his counsel five days to prepare a writ of error to bring the Negro's case before the United States court of appeals. Johnson was sentenced to a year and a day in the state penitentiary when he was convicted of violating the Mann white slave act. The suspension of the sentence now is until June 23. Height He Had Reached. Small Edgar was in the pantry and his mother called and asked what he was up to. "It's up to the third shelf with the jam on it, mamma," he replied. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Washington, D. C.—Robert A. Prather, of Little Rock, Ark., has reached here with the long-looked-for petition signed by more than 8,000 white railway mail clerks, asking an order segregating white and colored clerks in the railway mail service. The petition says that from fifteen to twenty clerks work in the same car; that the white clerks are often outnumbered by Negroes, sometimes subject to their authority, and on long runs have to share sleeping quarters with them. Postmaster General Burleson, to whom the immortal document was presented, has promised to take the matter under consideration. Nework, N. J., June 6. When a prominent addition to this city was placed on the market not long since, the announcement was made that the property would not be sold to colored people nor to Italians. Insofar as the Negroes were concerned, the announcement was not unusual and they offered no protest, but it was different with the Italians and they immediately notified the Italian embassy at Washington. The representatives of the Italian government took the matter up with the State department and within a few days the attention of Gov. Fielder was called to the matter and the protest. The governor gave his assurance that the matter would be investigated. Chicago, May 16.—The practice of Joe Hudlun, a Negro janitor of the board of trade, of saving letters tossed into waste baskets of members and officials, may win $2,500,0fi0 for Charles H. Baker, a son of the late William T. Baker at one time presdent of the board. The son was remembered in the father's will, which, among other properties, disposed of profits from water power enterprises in Seattle and Tacoma, Wash. The plaintiff claims that he was his father's partner in these projects and that the $2,500,000 which he avers was his share should be paid him from the estate separately regardless of his share in the remainder of the estate. The letters which the janitor has saved for many years are said to show that the father regarded his business relations with his son as a partnership. Harrisburg, June 4.—A bill introduced in the House tonight by Representative Bass extends the time of the emancipation proclamation celebration in Philadelphia NO 41 from one week to six weeks. The bill is an amendment to the act of June 14, 1911, which fixes the first week in September, 1913, for the celebration. The amendment provides that the celebration shall be held from August 18 to September 30. Representative S. B. Scott objected to the bill, and Mr. Bass announced that no additional appropriation was asked. "Nevertheless," said Mr. Scott, "in view of the fact that I intend to try to prevent the appropriation of any money whatsoever for this celebration, I object." Representatives, Speises moved the rules be suspended, and John R. K. Scott seconded the motion, which carried. The original, bill created a commission of seven and gave it $20,000. There is now pending a bill giving the commission $75,000 and it is this Representative S. B. Scott says he will fight. (From Ennis Cemiter.) There 92,000,000 people in Uncle Sam's domain, 10,000,000 Negroes and 42,000,000 foreigners, these people are different in ideas from the real American. This country has more to fear at the hands of the foreigners than that of making discriminating laws against the Negro. Should war be between these governments it would be an easy matter to muster a startling army of enemies, subjects right here in our door. This country could not be safe in enlisting them in her armies or navies either. The Negro has been the standard bearer of the white man, having borne his burden in the revolutionary war. He saved the day on San Juan Heights and waded through blood for him, could people be just or a lover of the human family and make such laws that tend to down one who has ever been his friend and neighbor? This government cannot hope to reach the level with other nations of the earth when she lets a few race haters agitate and cause laws to be made to down one and raise another. Merit should win, let the Negro, the white man, Japanese, Chinamen and all people run in this great commercial race and on the same level, the one who gets to the end first let him wear the crown. China enclosed herself by building a wall around herself. She was self righteous; she had 4000 years of civilization, behold the wall is now broken and China's condition is greater than that of Rip Van Winkle. No people can exalt themselves and be base others and still move upwards. THE MONARCH INE ALCOHOL CO.

The high cost of living received a jolt at Chicago, when old white Burbank potatoes were offered on the Chicago market at $16½ cents a bushel, the lowest price in the memory of local dealers. A year ago at this time these potatoes were selling at $1 and $1.15 a bushel. PUEBLO CASE DECIDED SUPREME COURT SUSTAINS COMMISSION GOVERNMENT. Opinion in Tate Case Written by Chief Justice Musser—Justice White Dissents. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Commission government in Pueblo, adopted September 19, 1911, in the form of a new city charter under provisions of Section 6 of Article XX of the State Constitution—known as the Rush bill—was declared valid by the Supreme Court in a decision handed down in the Tate case. The decision was based entirely upon the "home rule" amendment to Article XX of the State Constitution, adopted at the general election last November. In upholding the constitutionality of the home rule amendment the Supreme Court not only declares legal the Pueblo charter under which commission government displaced the old form in that city, but also the preferential system of voting and other provisions contained in the Pueblo charter. Court holds that under the initiative and referendum amendment to the constitution, as many proposals for constitutional amendments may be submitted at a general election as the people initiate, and that the old restriction of six amendments is not applicable to the initiative. The decision leaves valid the constitutional amendment to the Rush bill adopted last November, under which the February election in Denver was held. This makes easier any litigation that may follow in Denver over change of government. It is held, too, that while the people may initiate as many amendments to the constitution as they please, the Legislature is restricted to the old rule of not more than six at any one time; and, further, that an initiated statute is not of the force of an amendment to the constitution and may be ruled unconstitutional by the courts. Decision written by Chief Justice Musser, Justice White dissenting and Judice Hill not taking part. Artist Jailed Again. Steamboat Springs.—R. P. King, artist, who, two weeks ago eloped with Edith Milner, daughter of F. E.

All over this country are scattered many million dollars' worth of church and school property, built and maintained through the gathering of pennies from our people. In the accumulation of all this vast property we have done much to add to the sum total of the world's wealth. We have world knowledge of the fact that we are a hard-working people, who make money and are willing to give it to a good cause.

As with everything else the worth of playgrounds depends upon their management. Neither playgrounds by themselves nor industrial schools are going to create original ability or make character, though that they can largely revitalize dwarfed minds, morals and bodies is very evident. The whole playground movement is the declaration of the child's bill of rights, but as a reform movement it will probably present many fads as panaceas or cure-alls. When blindman's buff is "educationally" recommended as tending to develop the senses of hearing and touch, the genuine lover of play for the sake of unadulterated fun grants that the tendency is true, but wishes that there was some one kind of play which was just fun. Play is nowadays so analyzed and made a subject of such social research and so much pedagogical red tape is applied to its functions that there is a fear lest the free, untrammeled play of childhood may be guided solely along moral issues, as in the sentimental kindergarten, and end like that in weakening a child's power of self-determination. Playgrounds can be made too polite and too parental. But certainly school nurses are most helpful adjuncts to them and much needed, if merely because of the promiscuous handling of ropes and games. Health and morals will win out better in the race for personal achievements just because it is now recognized that playgrounds are as much a matter of necessity as once were schoolrooms, and that the moral value of clean sport, playing fair, etc., affects character—ultimately politics? Only too much directed play, too organized games, too finical supervision may not develop the ability to fight one's way in the world by courteous aggressiveness. The dangers of the playground movement are of real though minor import. They lie (1) in the large expenditure they entail, for "organized, supervised play" is costly, and forgets that the sense of play is so innate it can be somewhat left to take care of itself; (2) in subtracting the child from home influences; (3) in leading him to think that the state exists to take care of him and his health instead of his taking care of himself or of the state. Yet such possible dangers, even if realized (and they can be avoided), will be far outranked by the direct values of the playground; (1) in their outdoor atmosphere; (2) in their clean sport, no trickery; (3) in the mental and bodily health and agility they develop; (4) in the children's recognition of themselves as potential factors in the community and in the perspective they get of civic worth as dependent upon their health and morals. matrons who have need of help in their homes, and their requirements are not more exacting than those of the store or factory. They offer board and room and wages and as much opportunity to advance as is offered in a business career. There is no reason why a girl should have to choose between starvation and vice when there are innumerable opportunities at hand to secure good, well-paid positions with board and room assured. After all, housework is the logical work for a girl, and especially for one who has had limited educational advantages and no special training in any line of work. It is logical because every girl hopes some day to have a home of her own and that very hope should have the substantial backing of capability in the domestic requirements. It is not fair to a man who is expected to support the home for a woman to be unable or unwilling to do her share. She should be in every case a better manager than he is a provider, for much of the happiness of the home depends on the woman's ability to run her affairs in a wise, economical way. In doing housework the girl becomes thoroughly experienced in the important features of housekeeping, and her position thus guarantees a temporary and a permanent benefit; temporary, because it provides a good living, and permanent, because her work develops and perfects in her the requirements that her future husband and home have a right to demand. and exercises the ordinary precautions.

Due display of herself to aid THE DUEL BY LEWIS A. WENTWORTH. "But your promise, Senorita," cried Unzar, his swarthy face growing darker; "remember my oath—I am here to keep it." "Your oath," she repeated, scornfully; "have you not already forfelt all claims upon me? Have you not left me neglected these many years? Did you think none other would seek me?" She glanced at that tall, handsome figure and her mind wandered off to that day, ten years before, when she had last seen him in old Madrid. "Oh! Unzar," she cried, "I know not what to say. I thought you had forgotten me. I have heard nothing from you since that day ten years ago. Felipe wanted me and I—I—" "And do you love this—this Fellpe?" he burst out, his face flaming. "I—God help me! no, no, no! I almost hate him! But, Unzar, you must not stay here, for should he see you he would force you to fight." Unzar's face darkened. "I must fight him, for I have sworn you shall be my bride." "And I swear she will not!" Mona stifled a scream, and even Unzar recoiled a step at this unexpected retort. The intruder was Felipe. He was tall and wiry, his eyes black and piercing and his face, usually expressionless, now wore an ugly look. "You will pay for your insolence," cried Unzar, livid with rage. "Name your time and place." "At sunrise beyond the eucalyptus grove—with pistols." The first grey streaks of dawn were just visible in the eastern sky when two figures emerged from the grove of eucalyptus trees and glanced about. One was a gray-haired man bent with age, his companion a tall, erect figure, whose face was covered with a mask of black silk. The old man was Tony, the keeper of the inn where Unzar had passed the night. Felipe and his two companions appeared. "Why does the senor wear a mask?" asked Felipe, striding toward the old man, who met him half way. "That he may not be recognized should he win or known if he fall." The two coatless figures faced each other 30 yards apart. There was a moment's pause, then: "One." The masked figure started slightly at some noise coming from the trees. "Two." They both bent slightly forward. They both bent slightly forward. "Three!" cried Tony, in a shrill voice. Simultaneously with the two reports that rang as one came a wild yell from among the trees. Old Tony and the two Mexicans turned—the other two lay motionless where they had fallen—to see a halfclad, disheveled looking figure running toward them. Then they bent over the fallen dualists. Old Tony tore away the shirt to find the wound, then paused, his face ashen, his eyes bulging. "My God!" he cried, and again, "My God!" The newcomer thrust the old man aside and he stripped off the mask. "Mona!" cried the old man, crossing himself, his eyes dilated with horror. "I thought it was you—" "Me!" cried Unzar, madly shaking the other. "Didn't you drug me while I slept?" "No, senor, no! By the Virgin, I swear it!" "Who did, then?" Unzar vociferated, his grief relaxing. "I don't know," whined Tony, caressing his throat. "When I knocked at your door you—she came out wearing the mask. It was your room, your clothes, your—" Her bosom swelled slightly, then fell, and a convulsive shudder passed over her, the eyes opened, looking straight into Unzar's. "I—I am not hurt," she cried, sitting up, "I guess I fainted. You could not shoot, "and I could; he taught me," and she pointed to the motionless figure, over which the two Mexicans were talking excitedly. "I feel myself a coward," said Unzar, "unworthy of such love. And you have robbed me of the only opportunity I had to prove my love for you." "No," said Mona, "there is one way." "Then name it." he cried. "By keeping your oath," she an swered, raising her lips to his. (Copyright, by Dally Story Pub. Co.) When the Turk Comes. Terrible scenes were witnessed in Constantinople when Mahomet II. captured the city in 1453. When the conquerors entered they slew 2,000 and made slaves of all who took refuge in the sanctuary of St. Sophia. Gibbon records the fate of the 60,000 prisoners: "Male captives were bound with cords, the females with their veils and girdles; the senators were linked with their slaves; the prelates with the porters of the church, and young men of the plebeian class with noble maids whose faces had been invisible to the sun and their nearest kindred, and in this common captivity the ranks of society were confounded, the ties of nature were cut asunder, and the inexorable soldier was careless of the father's groans, the tears of the mother and the lamentations of the children." She Don't Care. When Rev. Anna Howard Shaw's little grandniece of eight confessed to her mother that she could not be a suffragist because the other children made fun of her, her wee sister of six fiercely exclaimed: "I wouldn't be a coward; they've been making fun of Aunt Anna for hundreds of years." HERO ROLL IS LONG Many Deeds of Self-Sacrifice Dot History's Pages. Bravery of Northumberland Pitman's Daughter Deserves Place in Same Category as Grace Darling's—Rescue From Flames. The heroic self-sacrifice of Captain Cates in the Antarctic has led to the detailing of many incidents of heroism, which go to show that the virtue is no more confined to class than to time. Here, for instance, is the case of a pitman's daughter in Northumberland, which deserves to be placed in the same category with the brave act of Grace Darling. It was Dora Chandler, a wisp of a girl of seventeen years, to whom the testing moment came, on a winter night within sight of the wild North sea. The wind howled round her wooden cottage at Blyth, but within a strange, heavy silence held the little rooms. Dora awoke shivering to a sense of ill-defined terror. She was not alone; five others—three women and two children—slept in the little place. Her father was at work in the pit. Suddenly her fears took shape. (1) It was smoke, heavy and stifling, which hushed the fury of the storm outside. Starting from her bed in her night-dress she raised a shrill alarm. The three women ran gasping and shivering into the open. The fire was blazing in the lower rooms, where that day the pitman had stored many pounds of blasting powder. The girl joined her terrified friends, but the dull glare showed her that the children were missing. Despair and dread seized her heart; too well she knew there was no time to lose—perhaps no time to act—but her native courage rose undaunted. She sprang back across the threshold and groped blindly through the smoke, to reappear faint and choking with her seven-year-old brother in her arms. Her mother seized the boy, and Dora pushed back into the moll of flame and smoke. In silent terror the women waited till they saw her staggering out with her baby cousin safely enwrapped, her own scantly night attire torn and smouldering. Her precious burden safely delivered, she pressed yet again into the doomed cottage. This time, with stillened heart and trembling hands, she fought her way to safety laden with the blasting powder, and fell fainting into her mother's arms. She had saved five lives, and by her undaunted courage prevented an appalling catastrophe. At Christmastime a young soldier was passing with a friend an electroplater's shop in Clerkenwell Close, London, Eng., when a dense cloud of suffocating smoke burst from the window overhead. At the same moment a boy threw up the lower sash and screamed for help. The boy had been playing with his sister and upset two cans, one filled with cyanide of potassium, the other holding six gallons of vitriol. In a flash the small chamber reeked with a dense, black cloud of poisonous gas. The screams ceased abruptly, telling how the fumes were doing their work. For one instant the soldier blanched, then he turned quickly to his friend. "I'm going through it, Jack, whether I come back or not; so 'goodby,' in case," he cried. Words of a true gentleman, a nameless hero, who whilst he spoke seized his companion's muffler and adjusted it about his mouth. He disappeared inside, while the crowd waited in dazed suspense. Then one by one he recovered the unconscious children—another boy of fourteen, a woman, and, lastly, her husband. How he lived inside, where no other dared to venture, can be understood only by such as possess the same invincible courage. It was the spirit of sacrifice, quickened by undaunted pluck, which bore him through. His task concluded, he fell senseless to the ground with the man in his stiffened arms. Let us not forget the never-to-be-forgotten heroic act of Father Canevin, a Roman Catholic priest, who died that an unknown messenger boy might live. In the city of Pittsburgh the boy lay disabled in the cellar of a skyscraper mown down by a cyclone. Father Canevin heard the sufferer's cries, and at once climbed down to him undeterred by the danger of a rocking wall which held all others at bay. The good priest was in time to save the boy, but at the expense of his own life. He saw the wall cave, and deliberately arched himself over the lad that he might receive the falling mass upon his own back instead. The boy was dug out and lived; the heroic father was recovered—dead. Wild Game In Kansas. "The wildest land in Kansas is the land in these Arkansas river islands," remarked Senator Fred Dumont Smith after a week's trip up and down the river surveying the islands. "I have a whole family of wild deer on one of the islands near Ellinwood," said the senator. "There was a buck, a doe and a fawn. They were wild and disappeared as soon as they saw us. We found no end of coon and 'possum tracks. I saw where tons of wild grapes had gone to waste. Wild animals are abundant. The land of the island is rich and the soil is moist the year round. I saw enough young ash waist high to supply this town for 20 years with wood."—Topeka Capital. Born—To Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Bolden, Wednesday, a fine son.

The first colored appointment made to date by any of the new commissioners was on Monday, when the Hon. Clair J. Pitcher, commissioner of finance, appointed Captain Thos. Campbell to a position in his office. Mr. Pitcher was the first assessor who ever appointed a Negro deputy assessor in Denver, when he made Capt. Campbell a deputy assessor, and the colored citizens rallied to his support in appreciation of the recognition. Capt. Campbell is well known to all and will make good in his new position, as usual. We congratulate Mr. Pitcher on his appointment of Capt. Campbell and hope that the rest of the commissioners will do likewise and not wait until their term of office has almost expired and another election is on. O.BANNION-WALKER WEDDING. By far the most brilliant wedding ever held in Denver was that of Mr. Ned O'Bannon and Miss Irene Walker, last Saturday evening. Many of Denver's well known citizens turned out to witness the ceremony and although the sudden and serious illness of the groom held the guests in suspense for some time, but finally the Italian harpist, Devirio, began to play the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march, and from then on all went well. The bride, dressed in a gown of white satin and all that goes to make the perfect costume for such an occasion, was attended by Misses Edith Baker, Nellie Eubanks, Marguirie Graves and the bride's sister, Grace. Mr. John Moss acted as best man. Rev. Henry Brown of the Episcopal church officiated. * At the conclusion of the ceremony Mrs. Senora Langston sang a beautiful solo. During the reception Mesdames Wm. Russ. Thos. Webb, R. Emmett Webster and Langston presided at the refreshment table, and were assisted by the bridesmaids. There were many costly presents to attest the popularity of this young couple. Several members of the Bon Vivants club gave a silver service, and presents from other sources showed equally as good taste. The bride is not only pretty, but clever and talented and a favorite in the social circles of Denver and Omaha. That their voyage on the matrimonial sea may be happy and peaceful is the sincere desire of their many friends. SHORTER CHAPEL'S NOTES.

The visit of Dr. McDonald of St. Paul, secretary of the National Baptist Convention, was a very great blessing to our congregation. His sermon Sunday morning was a delight and a joy; the congregation was refreshed by a baptism of tears. Five persons were added to the church. The stereopticon service Sunday evening was a delightful success. The subject was "Joseph and his Brethren." A splendid audience was in attendance and greatly enjoyed the lecture. The subject for this Sunday evening is "the Parable of the Great Supper." The popular songs, "Jesus Lover of My Soul" and "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," will be illustrated by stereopticon views. Everyone is welcome. The Men's Bible Class together with Mrs. Over arraigned a very enjoyable birthday surprise party for the pastor at the close of the lesson last Tuesday evening. The pastor more than appreciates such courtesies and is under a weight of responsibility for such kindly response of his friends. The Baptist state meeting will convene at Colorado Springs next Wednesday, where a number of Zion workers will be in attendance. The Men's Bible class is preparing a special programme to close the season's work on the first day of July.

"You've certainly transformed the room." I said to Edith, opening the door and walking in, in response to her bidding. It had originally been an attic. Tapestry hangings now hid the face of timbers rough-hewn in the days when Washington was young and Fourth of Julys like any other day, for the house itself was of colonial antiquity, and there were wide divans on which one was allowed to sit among dozens of cushions done in colors to the rainbow unknown. There was a writing desk of odd design in one corner, and a desk from the depths of which a much-used typewriter was apt to half emerge, like a Jack-in-the-box, if one walked about with a heavy step. There was the usual array of brass articles used for ornamentation. "Now," she went on, "very much of what I've been able to do has been owing to your kindness. Of course I thank you, Robert." "I shall receive my reward some day," I reminded her. "So the Good Book says." "Oh, I am speaking of temporal things." "Your mind should be above them," she admonished. "You are as near an approach to divinity as I care for at present," I insisted. "You should be ashamed to say so. What is any one of us after all? What are our little loves, our half-formed fancies but things of a day—shadows that cross the face of the great sun of fame?" "But my love is not a little love, neither is it the thing of a day," I contradicted, hotly. Edith blushed. "You think—" "I know—" "Very well," this with resignation. On the table lay a sheet of Edith's work, done in a masculine chirography popular of late years. "What is this a map of?" I asked, innocently. "It's not a map. It's the start of a story." "Where's the rest of it?" "Oh, I haven't thought it all out yet," with a sigh. "Do you know what the title is to be?" "I haven't decided on one." "Will you let me suggest a title for it?" "But you don't know what the story is about." "Is there any connection," I asked, meekly, "between a story and its title?" "Certainly," sniffed Edith, indignantly. "Then there's a missing link to some." I declared. "Those are by interior authors." "To change the subject, have you sold any stories of late?" I asked. "No, Robert, you are more partial to me than the editors are." "Confound them; I've half a mind to call on two or three of them and let 'em know what I think of their judgment!" I exclaimed, viciously. "If I can't win by merit, I don't want to win," she declared stoutly. "Edith," I asked, tenderly, "why couldn't you write just the same after we were married?" "Of all the impudence! I've not said we were going to be yet, have I? And, besides, marriage is said to be an impediment to a literary career." "Aren't so-and-so married?" I asked, naming over a half dozen of the best-known feminine authors of the day. I didn't know whether they were or not, but spun them off at random. "I suppose so," she admitted, doubtfully. I pursued my unscrupulously gained advantage. "For the seventh time, Edith," I warned, "I am going to ask you to marry me." "And for the seventh time—" she began, mockingly. "Now, Edith," I interposed. "I am only human and I can't go on this way forever. I have here"—and I showed it to her—"a ticket to Havana. Shall I buy another, or go alone tomorrow?" Edith looked me squarely in the face. Her own was rather white. She hesitated. "The seventh time," I said quietly, taking up my hat. "That was the title I was going to suggest for your story." There was a long silence. Edith's face was half averted, but what I could led me to hope. "You are going?" she asked in a voice intended to be quite steady, but still looking away from me. "If you tell me to," I replied. Another silence. "Can't you get the tickets for a week from tomorrow?" she asked. And that was Edith's seventh answer. (Copyright, by Dally Story Pub. Co.) Slege of Crete. Crete deserves mention of our list of memorable sieges, for in Cretan history we find the longest siege on record, besides which Troy's ten years seem but a skirmish. In 1648 the Turks, attempting to conquer the island, laid siege to the capital city of Candia, which, however, did not surrender until September, 1869, when 21 years. Again in 1821, when the Cretans revolted, the defeated Turks were able to hold the fortified cities against all attacks, and many of them were still uncaptured when the powers intervened nine years later IN BANKER'S HANDS Postal Savings System Under Man of Experience. Former Governor Dockery, Who Devoted Many Years to the Banking Business, Now Supervises the Deposits. Washington.For the first time since its inception the postal savings system is to be administered by an experienced banker. Third Assistant Postmaster General Dockery, before he became interested in wider political life, was in the banking business. As far back as 1866 he organized with the assistance of a coterie of his financial friends the Farmers' Exchange bank of Gallatin, Mo. Later he became its cashier and remained such until 1882. While in many respects the postal savings depositories are widely different from banking institutions, in the ordinary acceptance of the term, still there is much similarity noticeable, and for this reason, more than for any other, it is said, Postmaster General Burleson was influenced to call to his assistance in the administration of the new system that means so much to the saving population of the country the experience of a trained banker. The last reports that may be said to be complete thus far cover the system up to March 31 last. At that time there were 12,823 depositories, located at 12,160 postoffices, of which 8,222 were of the presidential class and 3,938 were fourth-class offices. The number of depositors at that date approximated 335,000, and the amount on deposit about $33,500,000, or an average of about $100 per depositor. XIAMS & LONDON Alexander M. Dockery. About $21,600,000, or more than three-fifths of the entire deposits, were held in 251 postoffices, each of which recorded deposits amounting to $15,000 or more; $15,000,000, approximately, was held in 37 offices, each holding about $100,000 or more. New York leads the list with deposits amounting to $2,366,049, with Chicago second, $1,689,024; Brooklyn third, with $876,091, and Portland, Ore., the leading city in the west, fifth, with $718,745. Washington ranks twenty-seventh, with $153,560, and Astoria, Ore., the lowest on the scheduled list, thirty-seventh, with $107,866. In addition to this big sum in deposits, representing the savings of the country, so far as the postal system is concerned, $2,389,120 of the depositors' savings have been converted into interest-bearing $2½ per cent. United States bonds. While the faith of the United States government is specifically pledged to the return of the money when demanded, the deposits, under the law, are for the most part in solvent banks organized under national or state laws and subject to national or state supervision, including savings banks and trust companies doing a banking business. Of these 7,248 institutions have qualified as depositories, including 3,808 national banks, 2,412 state banks, 401 savings banks, 572 trust companies and 54 "organized" private banks. A story is going the rounds on Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels. Should Change His Uniform. It is said that after an experience in a Washington hotel where he was to be one of the principal speakers at a banquet the North Carolina secretary remarked that he is meant for the life of a country town. Arriving at the hotel, so the story goes, Secretary Daniels took an elevator for the banquet hall, where he was met by a distinguished looking man who apparently was a foreigner. With typical southern courtesy, the navy secretary bowed. "I'm glad to see you." he said. "That foreign persons of distinction should take an interest in our politics is gratifying to me. We are a new people, sir, but—" "The distinguished looking man" interrupted with— "Name und number, please?" "Name and number?" repeated Mr. Daniels. "What number?" "Ze zeat number," answered the other. "Eaf you gif me that, I'll find your zeat for you." "Are you a waiter?" asked Mr. Daniels with amazement. "Then, by George, you should change your uniform so, I could tell you from the guests of honor," said Mr. Daniels. William C. Redfield secretary on commerce, in commenting on the de Exports and Imports Big. States for the month of March and the nine months ended March, said: "The figures are striking, both in their magnitude and in their details. The aggregate business, inward and outward, of the United States with foreign countries for the nine months was a little in excess of $3,300,000,000—an impressive total, which if maintained at the same rate would bring the business for the entire fiscal year well in excess of $4,100,000,000. "Great Britain is our largest customer, buying from us over $478,000,000, and selling us over $234,000,000, an aggregate for the nine months in excess of $712,000,000, or a total business of nearly $80,000,000 a month. Canada is our second best customer, buying from us $300,000,000 in nine months, equal to nearly $1,300,000 every working day. A pretty fair customer, that. Then Germany comes third, buying $268,000,000 from us in nine months and selling us $146,000,000. She is a pretty fair customer, too—buys over $1,000,000 a day. And fourth comes France, to whom we sold $120,000,000, and from whom we bought $112,000,000 "The figures for the entire nine months are such as to give just pride to every thoughtful American to whose notice they come. Out of the total transactions of $3,300,000,000 there is a balance in our favor of a little over $500,000,000. Doing pretty well, that. But a few comparisons with 1912 make it look even better. For example, our sales of manufactures for further use in manufacturing increased over $56,000,000 and our sales of manufactures ready for use increased over the same period last year $88,500,000, an increase in these two lines of manufactured goods alone of over $114,500,000, as compared with the same period of last year." Typhoid Death Toll Reduced. sus declares, however, that this is far in excess of the mortality from this cause in progressive European country. This reduction, it says, "indicates that the public health officials of the country and the people who support their efforts are awakening to the necessity of wiping out this filth disease." The statement declares that in 1911 there were 12,451 deaths from this cause in the registration area. This is a death rate of 21 per 100,000 compared with 23.5 the year previous. Lower death rates are also noted in tuberculosis, measles, scarlet fever, cancer, infantile paralysis and organic diseases of the heart. Increases were shown in the deaths from pellagra, suicide and violent deaths excluding suicide. The increase in the mortality from pellagra was large, according to the statement. During the early part of the decade, 1900 to 1909, the reported mortality from this disease was insignificant, two deaths being returned for 1900, two for 1903 and one for 1904. For 1908, 23 deaths were returned, all of which occurred in southern cities. A large increase was shown in 1909, during which 116 deaths were reported, and a still larger increase for 1910, when 368 deaths were reported as due to this disease. The mortality of 659 for 1911, as compared with 368 for 1910, indicates an increase of 79 per cent. An important statement in the census bureau's paper is that organic diseases of the heart in 1911 caused more deaths, 83,525, than any other disease or group of diseases shown in the abridged international list, although the number of deaths from tuberculosis of all forms, 94,205, was considerably greater. However, the death rate from organic heart trouble in 1911 was slightly lower than that for the preceding year, but the rate for these two years is declared to be much higher than that of previous years. After reading that so many congressmen had obtained their election to the house of representatives "without spending a dollar" it was refreshing It Was Case of Necessity. It Was Case tatives "without spending a dollar" of Necessity. it was refreshing to hear one southern member the other day admit to a few intimates that if he were hailed before the bar of justice he would have to acknowledge that he had bought votes to secure his nomination and election. "It was a case of necessity, though," he added, "because my opponent was doing the same thing." The congressman went on to relate an incident of the last November elections. "I overheard my campaign manager talking with one of his assistants. The latter was protesting that a voter had taxed him $5 for his vote. "My manager exclaimed angrily: I won't stand for it. It is an outrage. We have never paid more than $3 for his vote. But then I suppose the other side has been after him. However, before we let the other party get him I reckon we will have to meet his figure. Hold him down, though, if you can.'" A new member of congress who was present was frankly amazed. "Suppose detectives should have heard your manager admit he was buying votes?" "Well," replied the other, "detectives did come to my district once, but the sheriff arrested them for carrying concealed weapons." PRESIDENT WILSON'S BUSINESS MANAGER PRIVATE SECRETARY OF WILLIAM J. BRYAN PRIVATE SECRETARY OF WILLIAM J. BRYAN DAUGHTER OF KAISER WEDS PRINCE ERNEST CUBA'S NEW PRESIDENT A CORNELL GRADUATE A round, elecutionary eye, blue in color, and an oratorical mouth, the human appraiser would say, if there were such a specialist, as he wrote the items down on the schedule of assets. To which he would add, as he proceeded to inventorize features and surface characteristics, a good, tuneful voice, ringing and robust in both the higher PETER H. BURGESS In like manner he would specify two military shoulders, an energetic manner, a sky-blue necktie, a flax-colored mustache and a pair of thick, mahogany-colored side-whiskers. Drawing a line at the bottom of the column he would total the whole into William Cox Redfield, the new secretary of commerce and the personal tariff counselor of President Wilson. A propensity for getting money and a talent for putting his active and progressive thoughts into language have removed Mr. Redfield from the overcrowded ranks of mediocrity. Once Mr. Redfield was a teacher and the superintendent of a Brooklyn Sunday school for 20 years. All he had to do in politics was to change his subject, and, possibly, his coat and cravat, and then go ahead. Still it must be admitted that he has the gift of speak- The duties of the private secretary are more onerous, if not more im- portant, at the beginning of an administration than at any other time. Also in most instances in the present administration the private secretaries, like the men they serve, are new to their places. PETER B. As Mr. Bryan is premier of the cabinet, so to his new secretary falls the honor of being premier of the corps of private secretaries. This honor came not through seniority. There are other private secretaries who have been in service many years, while Manton M. Wyell was appointed only recently. But he is rapidly acquiring experience, for regardless of the fact that the appointing powers of the secretary of state are the most limited of any of the ten cabinet members, the principal attack of the officeseekers has centered about Mr. Bryan's office. It requires a man of cast iron nerve and extended experience in the buffer busi- When the Princess Victoria Louise, Emperor William's only daughter and the apple of his eye, became the bride of Prince Ernest of Cumberland a few days ago, she was attended by a bevy of young women as distinguished for their beauty as for their exalted rank. Mary At the wedding were assembled proud monarchs and their glittering suites; kings and ruling princes of that mighty confederation of which the kaiser is the chief; special envoys laden with jeweled orders, queens and princesses famed for their pulchritude, shining with价钱less gems, decked in superb costumes. And in this surrounding were grouped the bride and her four bridesmaids, fresh, blushing, fragrant, like rosebuds set in a gaudly-enameled vase. "I shall choose my bridesmaid." "I shall choose my bridesmaids," said the girl whom Berliners have de- Gen. Mario G. Menocal was a few days ago inaugurated as president of Cuba. In his inaugural address the new executive contented himself with the declaration that he will devote all his energies to giving the country a clean business administration, which will foster the industries of the island and develop its splendid resources, which in its inaugural address the new executive contented himself with the declaration that he will devote all his energies to giving the country a clean business admin ist ration, which will foster the industries of the island and develop its splendid resources, which will welcome foreign capital and immigration and maintain friendly relations with all nations, especially with the United States, to which Cuba is so closely linked by bonds of mutual affection and interest. General Menocal was born in 1866 at Jaguey Grande, Matanzas province. His family moved to the United States and he was educated in the military college of Washington and at Cornell university. He graduated from Cornell as a civil engineer. Upon leaving Ithaca he went with his uncle, Anlceto G. Menocal, chief of the en- Two years ago Mr. Redfield came to the house of representatives. It is a principle in business that nothing overtakes the sensitive man who looks and stands back. The firing line of commerce has its own methods and point of view. Likewise its own casualties, which is an essay in itself. Mr. Redfield, besides, was filled with principles battling for utterance. He talked in congress right off. Better still, he was heard. He was a manufacturer. Money came at his beck and call. Maybe he would reveal the secret. Moreover, he was precise. Once he was a bookkeeper and a cent even could unbalance his accounts. By habit and by instinct he abominated errors of fact as he saw the truth. So he took the floor when he thought he heard them and slew them on the spot. Wherefore he was also respected and privately feared. The secretary of commerce investigates the organization and management of corporations. He has no authority, however, over railroads. Furthermore, he is directed to scrutinize and foster commerce. He is the business man, it might be said, at the solemn table of the president's counselors. His eye, in a way, is supposed to be on iron, steel, oil, sugar, tobacco, and other products more or less monopolized. The detection of corporate lawbreakers, because he must know their management, is one of the duties he is required to perform. Their prosecution is the employment of the attorney general. ness to fill the position of private secretary to William J. Bryan. Secretary Bryan picked Mr. Wyvell on the ground, primarily, of his personal fidelity. Mr. Wyvell is a Bryan devotee. Nearly 13 years ago, when Mr. Bryan was making his second campaign for the presidency, he discovered Mr. Wyvell, then a student at Cornell, and president of the Cornell Bryan club, an organization of vast activity and limited membership. Now, Cornell is one of the most prolific of the American universities in the production of Republican graduates. The principles enunciated from the chair long held by Andrew D. White, were distinctly anti-bryan, and it occurred to the anti-imperialist leader of 1900 that a man who could develop Bryanism in the atmosphere of Ithaca, must have the real spirit. There and then he picked upon Wyell as his disciple, and such Wyell has remained until on March 6 he reaped his reward by being called to serve his leader in the confidential capacity of private secretary. Mr. Wyell is still young, hardly thirty-five, but he has been in politics ever since he left college. Last fall he ran for congress, but was defeated. His new position is his first federal appointment. lighted to call "Prinzesschen," "little princess." And her royal and imperial father, who bows to nobody else on earth, bowed his assent. Princess Victoria Louise has chosen well. Her bridesmaids were Princess Mary of England, King Edward's daughter; Grand Duchess Olga of Russia, the czar's daughter; Princess Yolanda of Italy, King Victor Emmanuel's daughter, and Princess Elizabeth of Roumania, daughter of Prince Ferdinand, heir presumptive to the Roumanian throne. These princesses are of distinct types of loveliness. Princess Mary, who is second cousin of the bride, is fair haired, with the ruddy, healthy complexion of which so many English girls boast. Princess Mary was sixteen years old last month. Grand Duchess Olga will be eighteen years old next November; she, too, is a second cousin of Princess Victoria Louise. The grand duchess is a pronounced brunette, with somber hair and eyes. Princes Elizabeth of Roumania, who is nearly twenty, is of the brilliantly clear caucasian type, and is almost as lovely as her mother, the famous Princess Marie. gineering staff which made the survey of the Nicaragua canal, and worked with him. He returned to Cuba as an engineer for a French company. At Santa Cruz he joined the revolutionary forces as a private and rose rapidly until he became general of division. His military record was brilliant; he rendered great service to the Americans at the time of the Spanish evacuation, and General Ludlow, civil governor of Havana province, appointed him chief of police of Havana, a position requiring at that time great tact and ability. He managed a large sugar estate until a few weeks before his inauguration. Mrs. Vastlee Rich (sentimentally)—Longfellow says: "We cannot buy with gold the old associations."

Styles are set forth at their best, for there are the women of dis- criminating taste,and the American, ‘above all others, knows how to cos- tume herself for the promenade. pp ihe most notable and smartest of the prevailing styles reconcile us even to extremes. The revival of interest in mourning millinery and mourning gowns has resulted in the adoption of white or white and black for summer wear, instead of all black. There are wonderful examples of this elegant headwear to be seen more frequently than for many seasons. It has an un- ‘deniable distinction. Added to this, the new white crape fs very beautiful. The all white crepe hat is to be seen, with either white or black net veil bordered with crape. Besides the all-erepe hat in white, black and white are combined and so Oe aaeuaemreeer—> SLIPPERS FOR THE BEDROOM Dainty Affairs Fashioned of Brocaded Satin Are Being Shown for ‘Gummer Wears ‘To wear with the summer neglige the shops are showing dainty slippers fashioned of brocaded satin. These are rather expensive if you desire to purchase them, but if you are clever at needlework they can be duplicated at home for very much less. First purchase a pair of soles the required size and bind them with a tancy silk braid of the predominating color used in the brocade. When choosing the brocade select a design which will lool: well on the top of the foot. From heavy muslin cut a piece of material to form the toe portion of the slipper. This must fit smoothly to the sole and be wide enough to comforta- bly accommodate the foot. Using this as a guide, cut two siml- lar pieces from the brocaded satin and baste the two together. Outline the design, with twited silk of the same tone and improve the slipper top by embroidering tiny flowers here and there, To the back of the muslin whip- stitch a lining of white silk and bind the top with braid to match the soles. Join the toe portion to the soles with trong silk thread, whipstitching the two together. A pair of these slippers makes charming gift to the graduate or the oride-to-be, ‘They are quickly made and the re- tult speaks for itself, A case can be fashioned to contain these slippers from brocaded satin of the same design. Make it to resemble ‘a large envelope and place the slippers between the folds, fastening the flay with a pearl button and a buttonhole. Now that you have the suggestion why not begin to make a pair of slip yers?. You may have some odd scraps of lovely brocaded satin to form the nucleus. Why not utilize them? WAISTS WITH NEW TOUCHES Washable Crepe de Chine, Heavy China Silk and White Madras Are Favorite Materials. Among strictly tailored waists those mannish shirts with the soft turned- over collar and cuffs are popular, Usu- ally they are made of washable crepe de chine, heavy china silk and mad- ras in white, and white with a colored stripe. Buttons of colored glass are very effective when they match the stripe of the silk. In addition to the mannish silk waists that are worn with the strictly tailored suit the business woman will welcome those in challis, flannel and albatross. Many of these are made in the usual mannish style, with the front opening, and soft collar and cuffs, but there are very attractive models, slight ly more elaborate and more feminine, with bits of hand embroidery, and fancy collar and cuffs of satin. As a rule, flannel is used for the tailored waists, and pretty challis and colored albatross for the more elaborate. mod: els, but since all of thém launder beau- tifully the light tones need not be a var to the usefulness of the blouse. ‘On dark-hued waists there is always « touch of white at the neck, a frill or a yoke. The ground of the Scotch plaids used for some of these blouses is vaually a blue, brown, green or well balanced that everyone admires them. Sometimes white predominates with only touches of black, and some times the design shows the reverse treatment. In the black and white crepe sailor pictured here there ir about an equal division of the colors All white is worn for first mourn ‘ing, exactly as black erepe is. A smart example Is shown here, with the body of the hat and the trimming both bee of white crepe. It is character istic of mourning millinery that the trimmings and ornaments are made of crepe. The new modes show wings and flowers simulated In this material A wreath of small lilies in white and clusters of small roses in black were so strikingly beautiful that they com manded more than passing admiration They will not be forgotten. White mourning has much to com- mend it. It is cool and it is inconspic uous. Also it is beautiful and elegant; above all it is not sombre anr oppres- sive.

Black tulle is very much worn with spring and new summer hats. It may be put on ag a “ruff to atand upright over brim and against crown, or it may be put under the brim to lie against the hair and temples. A very pretty idea is that of laying it on the hat to be a go-between for the hat and the trimming. If a white hat of satin the trimming is apt to be tiny roses in brilliant shades of red, yellow and green on a green vine. Fruit and all kinds of impossible designs are thus reproduced and dwarfed in satin, Hat Cleaner. A white beaver hat will respond de- lightfully to this cleanser: Equal parts of French chalk and powdered mag- nesia; sprinkle it well into the beaver, allowing it to remain at least a dav. Then brush and shoke out thoroughly. Where the hat is badly soiled ft may be necessary to repeat the process ‘MAKE SALADS OF ALL KINDS Many Tasty and Savory Dishes Are Easily Prepared at a Very Small Expense. I may have told of the clever little housewife who used to make a ‘veal pot ple with “plenty of gravy and sink- ers and not much meat.” Take a leaf out of her book and feed your family on stews with vegetables and light, delicate dumplings and well seasoned gravy, and see if this will not suit them as well as meat in coarse abund- ance. Try Itallan combinations of macaroni and cheese or noodles and cheese enriched with a meat gravy. Make savory rice dishes in which the meat {s a neglible quantity and is yet sufficient to render the compound ap- petizing. Introduce salads of all kinds, with French dressing or mayonnaise, or one of the gogd boiled dressings. ‘Turn to the generous choice of vege- tables that come to us in the summer. Fill tomatoes or peppers or cucum- bers or egg plant or potatoes with a well seasoned stuffing which contains no meat or only enough to give zest to the food. Compose scatlops along the same line and vegetable stews of a like kind. Do you think I am contradicting my- self when I tell you in one breath to simplify life and in the next urge you to study variety? The two pieces of counsel do not interfere with one an- other. The time and strength you save by reducing the work of keeping your house clean and in order is not all spent in cookery, even if you have novelties on your table. They need not require much care or labor and the change of menu, like the change you achieve by altering your room and its furnishings, will give you something different that will be an equivalent to fresh surroundings. Try it and see if I am not in the right. HINTS FOR THE HOME SEWER Some Useful Suggestions for Thos¢ Who Try to Do Their Own ; Needlework. ‘The soft wash silk shirt waist is made more or less plain, according to the figure that {ts wearer possesses. For those who are plump the plainest models are chosen. But shoulders are long and so are sleeves. ‘The neck of these waists is finished with a turnover collar and tie. The collar is soft and rather high at the back. Cuffs are turned back, and link buttons are worn with some of them. By the way of a little frivolity, Ja- bots of net or lace provide a finishing touch which seems superfluous with the four-in-hand tle, but is neverthe- less in evidence. , When made up for a slender figure these waists are set to a yoke in the back and fulled into the shoulder seam in front. ‘The collars are widened. Soft waists of crepe cloth are made plain with long sleeves and wide sailor collars, as well as in the regulation designs just described. Turn-back cuffs are often finished with crystal buttons. These waists are opened at the throat. mapaned Vinsnare: Flavored vinegars are welcome addl- tions to the spring salad. One which 1s useful for potato or meat salads, which are improved by the addition of a little onton flavor, ie’made by grat- ing two large Spanish onions and let- ting them stand with two teaspoonfuls of sugar for an hour or so and then adding a quart of vinegar. Bottle this and shake the bottles every day for ‘a couple of weeks, then strain the vinegar through cheesecloth and bottle {t in small bottles, corks and keep in a cool- dry place until it 1s wanted. It is better to bottle it pqsmanently in small bottles, so that when only a little of {t is wanted only a little need be uncorked. Eggs Stuffed With Cheese. Stuffed eggs are always welcome, but never more so than when the atuffing contains cheese. Boil the eggs hard, then remove the yolks; mash them well and add an equal quantity of grated cheese—the yellower and snappler the better. Add paprika and salt, also a very little mustard it de- sired. Mofsten with melted butter, cream or olive oll, according to one’s preference. A few drops of onion fuice may also be added. Spinach makes an agreeable garnish for this dish. ; ante Sha dta Me’ Mina mie meer ‘To remove a screw with one side of the head broken off, place the screw driver against one side of the head, and with a small block press firmly against the screw driver, at the same time turning the screw driver and the block. The screw will come out almost as easily as if the head was intact. Turkish Delight. Stir together and bring to a boil one quart granulated sugar and one cup water. Add one box gelatin, dissolved fn one cup cold water, and boil ten minutes. Add juice of a lemon and orange and cook ten minutes more. Cut in squares and roll in pulverized sugar.

Apply this to the place where the leakage {s and it will be instantly stopped. A visit from the plumber will still be necessary, but there 1s no special hurry for more radt cal repairs.
