PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV.IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY COUNTRY OR CITY LIFE VOL. XX. Which do you prefer, city or country life? Which is the more healthy and profiable? And are persons let free in choosing for themselves the place they will reside in and the occupations they will engage in to make their daily bread and meat and a penny over for the rainy day? All these questions have been and are being discussed in all lands, and especially in our own, because of the wonderful increase in population, the natfraal tendency from country districts to the city districts, and the failure to produce enough food stuffs in the country to feed those in the cities with corresponding advantage to both. People are no longer satisfied with steady occupation and a living return for their labor, either as wage earners or independent workers in any line; they want more than that; they think they do; they want to make enough to furnish them with the luxuries, in many instances the extravagancies, of life for themselves and an added fortune to bequeath to their children. It is not possible to do this in the country districts. The average farm will yield a fair living for the industrious; so, the sons have been leaving the farms in the United States ever since the commercial era set in after the Slave War, most notably in the abandoned farms in the New England and Middle and the Southern States. The Philadelphia Record, speak ing on this subject, says: Booker Washington is urging a great ameliorative reform in his efforts to induce the black men of the United States to embrace the opportunity the white men have so largely neglected of making good any lack of corn, or cattle, or cotton to meet future demand. He pointed out in his late address, delivered in this city, and there were 200,000,000 acres of unused and unoccupied and in the Southern States alone ready to the hand of the 10,000,000 blacks who, if they would go back to the land instead of flocking to the towns, might turn the South into a new Garden of Eden, with no less advantage to themselves than to the country at large and all its inhadrants. The black who owns and cultivates a farm is master of himself and independent. He is at the same time a source of strength and standing to the country he lives in. The tillage of the land is the one great bottom industry on which all others are dependent. In the eventful movement "back to the land," which must come in the near future, Booker Washington will have brought an inestimable advantage to his race if, following his persuasion, they shall get there first. But colored people are just like white people in this matter. Some of them want to get rich quick, and imagine that this can more easily be done in the city than the country districts, and have not only flocked to the cities of the South but those of the North and West, as the whites have done, since 1876. And, too, the city life offers attractions in every direction that the country life does not and never will offer. This phase of the matter is the most difficult to deal with in the case of both colored and white people, especially the younger ones. The real countryman has to be born, soil of the soil; it is difficult to manufacture, to create him, when he has been born in the city or with his face towards it. The Negro is, naturally, a countryman, a ruralist, but he is easily spoiled by a trip to the great city. Our farmers in all sections should be encouraged to send their sons and daughters to agricultural schools, so that they may return to the farm with knowledge to improve the productivity of the land their fathers own and to add to the acreage. It will be found a difficult task to induce the hordes of colored people who have gone from the country districts in the past twenty-five years into the large cities to return to the country life or to convince their children that it is best for them to do so. They can't see it. They have made human ties and material obligations from it is hard to break away; so hard that they will not in most instances consider the matter at all. Yet, some few will return, with much persuasion. The proper work, then, is to encourage colored farmers everywhere to send their sons and daughters to agricultural schools, where they will be prepared for the higher, better and more effective work of farm and country life. Then, too, there should be an organized effort in the cities of the North and West to induce the people who come from the farm districts of South to seek employment among the farmers of the North and West. Such an organized effort could do much to relieve the large cities of the ever increasing number of colored people who become "floaters" and "hand to mouthers," whom the police have to watch. DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 20 1913. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House GIANTS WHO ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO MILLIONAIRE MARRIES COLORED HOUSE MAID (From Chicago Defender) Tuesday was an awful bad day for millionaire Geo. Willis (white) a Grand boulevard millionaire, who for three years had in his employ Ethel Smith, young, comely woman of 27 years, a maid in his bachelor apartment. As water wears away rock it seems this cultured gentleman's prejudices had vanished and before he was aware of things he was nearing the state of fatherhood and maid the mother for his child. Tuesday the climax came when he was hauled into court and made to marry the woman he had wronged. Many a colored man is serving time in Joliet for such acts and this gentleman can consider himself fortunate that he was sentenced to marry this young woman and pay-her $35 per week until the child becomes of age. The judge that tried the case made him give a bond of $25,000 and pay the money into the court each week or month, as he desires. While in court, his honor in rebuking the man of wealth said: "Look at you, a man of intelligence in silks and satins, heir of the ages, taking advantage of this poor, illiterate ignorant girl in this manner. If you were living in the South you would walk off from your prey and not give her a dime if you disposed to do so. But the time is here now when all judges, to get the respect of his community and nation, must give the law as laid down and not as he feels." The judge sent the 'prisoner's brother for a gold ring and performed the ceremony in his chambers. Mr. James Carter, 3025 State street professional bondsman, was best man and main witness to the marriage. As we go to press the millionaire's attorney said his client need not pay any more than from $8 to $12. The judge dissents from this and said that law was for working men, but the child of a millionaire calls for more. It's station in life required more to raise it. The judge refused to reduce the bond and the money allotted to the unfortunate young woman. This case is a celebrated one and one that our daily papers ought to give big headlines after the way they cut up over the Jack Johnson case. This case will not reach the light of day as far as the papers are concerned and the poor, benighted heathen will see that the king can do evil and he must answer for his evildoing. We are glad to live in a city and a state where the respect for law and human rights stand so high." CHINAMAN DRAWS COLOR LINE Springfield, Mass., Sept. 6. Because Jue Fun, a Chinaman, drew the color line against Frank Prestrige, colored, a suit for $5,000 damages has been entered in the Superior Court. Jue Fun recently opened a Chinese restaurant on Worthington Street. Prestrige, who is a waiter at the Worthy Hotel went to the restaurant with his wife one evening recently to eat some chop suey. According to Prestrige's story, no waiter appeared to wait on them. Finally Jue Fun was called, and when they asked for some chop suey they were told it was all out. They then asked for a steak, but were told there was also a shortage in the meat line. When asked how it was that other people were being served, Jue Fun said they were regular customers. Prestige claims he went to the restaurant another night and was again refused food. He gave the same order that a white man sitting at the next table gave and was told the supply had run out. Prestige, according to his story then ordered a pot of tea, but was told he could not be served. Prestige, has engaged the leading attorneys in the city to fight the case. The situation is made doubly peculiar from the fact that Jue Fun has a colored wife about whom much has been said. At present they are not living together. NEGRO MEDIC BARRED BY BRITISH GUARDIANS London, Sept. 18.—The "color line" is not often drawn in England, but the Camberwell poor law guardians today declined to appoint a Negro as district medical officer on the ground the poor were very fastidious in such matters. It was admitted during the session of the guardians that the Negro doctor's qualifications were better than those of the other candidates and some of the guardians wanted to treat him as "a brother." The majority of the guardians, however, supported Dr. Robert Capes, who opposed the appointment of the Negro physician. In doing so, he said: "In plain English he is not a suitable doctor for a post of this sort. The pcr are a great dea more fastidious than people imagine. They would refuse to be attended by a man of color. Ring Denoted Physician. Ring Denoted Physician. Previous to the sixteenth century every physician in Europe wore a ring on his finger as an indication of his profession. Miners Not Prone to Suicide. There are fewer suicides among miners than among any other class of workmen. Washington, August 5,—The United States bureau of Education, cooperation with the trustees of the Phelps Stokes Fund, to day announced that he is making a study of private and higher schools for Negroes. A report of the equipment of the different schools, their work and their place in the educational system with which they are connected will be published later. The Phelps Stokes fund is a residuary estate amounting to about $1,000,000, bequeathed by Mrs. Carolina Phelps-Stokes of New York, for various philanthropic purposes, among which is the education of Negroes. Gifts have been made to the University of Virginia, University of Georgia and to the Peabody College in Nashville, Tenn., for the maintenance of fellowships and research work in the field. A number of smaller sums have been given for related purposes. Muskogee, Okla., Sept. 7.—A colored girl 10 years old will pay the largest income tax in Oklahoma. Sarah Rector, who lives just west of Muskogee, has an income of more than $112,000 a year. It is the old story of the lucky allottee and the oil well. Sarah is the descendant of a Creek freedman. She had nothing to do with the selection of her allotment and probably has never seen it and does not know where it is. But it is 160 acres of land and upon it has been drilled the biggest producing well in the mid continent field. This is what is known as the Jones Gusher, near the town of Cushing. The well is producing more than $2,500 a day and Sarah gets one-eighth as her share. This is just the beginning. Arrangements are already made to drill other wells. There is no doubt but these will also be big producers. Washington, D.C., Sept. 10- Like hungry suckling calves which have been kept away from the mother cows, the Democrats are trying to suck all the teats of the government milk bag at once. The edict has good forth that every position filled by a Republican is to be filled by a Democrat, and it matters not what the position is. At a recent caucus a set of resolutions were adopted that provide for turning out every employee appointed by a Republican. Even the Negro barbers are slated to go, and their places filled by white barbers. On this point a Southern Democrat expressed himself by saying that he saw many places filled by colored men and he knew they were Republicans because in all his life he had never seen a colored Democrat. The white man of the old Southern aristocracy would never have countenanced for a minute the ministrations of any but Negro barbers. They placed a white man who did that sort of work beneath their consideration. No better indication as to the class of white men now controlling the South is to be found than is shown in this contemplated action. Fort Mills, Corregidor, P. I.—It is asserted by soldiers of the 24th Regiment, U. S. Infantry, stationed at this point, that they are the victims of rank discrimination and injustice, in that they are relieved from soldier's regular duty and compelled to labor every day, including Sundays, with picks and shovels in the mud and water. It is also said that their tents are pitched in swamps where the water flows under the cots, and that the soldiers have to tie their shows to the cot legs to keep them from washing away. This regiment has been stationed here for three months and during that time have had to work night and day during some periods. The white soldiers are not required to do this work and some of them sit around and jeer and ridicule the Negro soldier at work in the mud. There are 1,200 native prisoners at this station, and when the rain starts they are taken in. The native prisoners, it is said, frequently ask the Negro soldiers if they are prisoners, and want to know why they have to work in the rain. Conditions for the Negro soldier at this station are getting worse every day. The food is plentiful, but is half cooked, and hardly more than slops. The soldiers are faithful and willing and are trying to do their duty under these adverse circumstances, but they feel very keenly the humiliating discrimination from which they are suffering.

ORDERED BY TRINIDAD CONVEN. TION ON SEPT. 23 Impassioned Speech By Mother Jones Precedes Vows of Vengeance Against Operators Western Newspaper Union News Service, Trinidad, Colo—As a climax of an afternoon of impassioned speech-mak- ing, 250 delegates to the so-called United Mine Workers’ convention of Colorado voted unanimously to call a strike in the southern district Septem- ber 23. The convention then adjourned amid a storm of cheers and singing. While the action of the convention was expected in all quarters, it was hardly believed that those present would work themselves into such a fever of enthusiasm. They shouted, danced about the room, vowed ven- geance on the operators and pledged themselves to stay with the strike un- til they won “or dropped into their graves.” ‘The resolution calling for the strike was included in the report of the pol- icy and scale committee, and was as follows: “In view of the failure of our efforts to obtain a peaceful solution of our differences, and in view of the fact that the operators have even refused to answer any of our invitations for a joint meeting, we hereby instruct that a strike call be issued by the district policy committee to all the Mine Workers of Colorado to take effect Tuesday, September 23, 1913. * | “We further recommend that any ‘member who is discharged because of affiliation with our movement shall be promptly supported by the organiza- tion. “In conformity with the past policy of the organization, which has worked so successfully in our district, we rec- ommend that we sign up with all com- panies that agree to our demands, pro- vided, however, that they agree not to furnish coal to fill contracts of com- panies on strike and that companies ‘that sign up must do so for all the “mines they operate.” At the same time was presented the report of the policy and scale commit- tee. The report of this committee. after setting forth the menner in which the demands of the union have been ignored, submit the following as a basis of settlement: First—Recognition of the union, Second— Ten per cent advance in wages and tonnage rates (the gradu- ated scale on day wages, practically in accordance with the Wyoming wage ‘seale) and a 10 per cent advance in wages of coke oven workers. ‘Third—-An eight-hour working day for all classes of labor in or around the coal mines and at the coke ovens. Fourth—Pay for all narrow and dead work, which includes brushing, timber- ing, removing falls, handling impur- ities, Fitth—Check weighman at all mines to be elected by the miners without interference by company officials in said election. Sixth—The right to trade at any store we please and the right to choose our own boarding place and our own doctors, Seventh—The enforcement of the Colorado mining law and the abolition of the notorious and criminal guard system which has prevailed in the mining camps of Colorado for many years. Reading of these reports was pre- ceded by an impassioned address by Mother Jones, who worked the dele- gates into a frenzy by a long speech on the “downtrodden labor man” as she saw him. Following the report of the commit- tee on policy, Frank J. Hayes also made an address in which he indorsed the action of the convention. Leap From Train Results in Accident.

The Golden Rule is trampled upon daily, and there is a small inclination to render as we would recelve. Sentl- ments, enthustastically expressed {n favor of religion, fall short in its practice; and promises faithfully giy- en are treated with disdain, Through this medium a lack of confidence is created, and operations are hampered, because faith In integrity is destroyed. There are few who, seemingly real- izing that the performance of obliga- tions of individuals to each other ts the basis upon which prosperity stands; because a solemn trust be- tween man and man removes obstruc- tions and throws wide the gates of opportunities. But when these are closed on account of man’s delinquen- cy and indifference to the duties which should direct his steps, stagna- tion follows; and general depression reigns where peace and plenty should abide, Nothing is so destructive to happiness as the unsettled condition which disturbs the repose of communt- ties; and every act which casts a shade over the conduct of society re- tards to. a certain degree, its on- ward strides. Little forethought rel- ative to the part each {s expected to play in the drama of life is exhibited; and we drift along heedless of inev- itable consequences. Very often, dil- igence in small matters leads to con- trol in great ones; and by our failure to properly cultivate the chances by which our varied careers are affected, we forfeit cherished blessings and lose the reward which faithful service begets. Our understandings are ex- perimental, and we are not wise as to the outcome; but where duty meets its requirements, things may be reck- oned with a less degree of uncertainty. The wheel of fortune ever turns; at each revolution somebody wins and somebody loses; but winner and loser alike pursue their occupation In hopes of final success. With faith in the honesty of our fellowman, we rest our hopes of triumph; but should he desert our cause in the midst of ac: tion, our prospects are doomed to dis: appointments. Human interests are so interwoven that whatever injures one member has a baneful effect up- on the other, likewise; therefore, it is fitting that caution in dealing should be exercised lest, in our ef. forts to handicap the progress of others, we do irretrievable damage to our own. Resolutions: declaring that the pol- icy of the administration at Washing- ton in segregating the races is a petty one were adopted by the Illinois State Federation of Colored Women’s clubs. ‘The federation promised co-operation in preparing for the semi-centennial celebration of Negro freedom to be held in 1915, The state was com- mended for providing an appropria- tion for this event. It was decided to hold the 1914 convention in Moline. Among the speakers were Senator John Dailey of Peoria, Bishop Fallows of Chicago, Rev. A. J. Carey of Chi- cago, Rev. Charles Virden, visitation agent for the state board of adminis- tration, and Mrs. Nora Taylor of Cht- cago. ‘The National Negro Business league in an address to the public setting forth the achievements of the race during fifty years of freedom, says that the possessions of Negroes in the United States amount to $700,000,000, exceeding the possessions of the white peasantry of Russla. ‘The address fur- ther states that while there were 4,- 500,000 Negroes at the beginning of the civil war, of whom 3,600,000 were slaves, the number has increased to ten million; that only 30 per cent. of the race owns twenty million acres of land, equal to the area of South Caro- Mna. ‘The annual convention of the league ended with the re-election of Booker 'T, Washington as president for the fourteenth consecutive time. Charles Banks, of Mound Bayou, Miss. was elected vice-president; Emmett J. Scott of Tuskegee, Ala., secretary. and Charles H. Anderson of Jacksonville, Fla., treasurer. ‘The statement has been made that life would be prolonged if persons would acquire the habit of stooping by the hips instead of bending the backbone.

While the millions of Negroes in the south are largely an ignorant peo- ple so far as letters are concerned, they are not as a rule’a degraded people, declared Booker Washington at Philadelphia. Some of the finest specimens of physical and moral man- hood to be found anywhere in the world can be found among the coun- try people of our race. There is a vast difference between ignorance and degradation, Now as to our program for the fu- ture. We should make up our minds thoroughly that there 1s a permanent place in the country for us, and that we haye more friends both in the north and the south than we have enemies. We should make up our minds that we are to use material gain and pros- perity not as an end, but as a means towards securing and enjoying the best things in our American life. What are our chances and what is the outlook? The large number of in- dependent, prosperous and lawabiding black people right here in Philadelphia partly answers this question. What hundreds in Philadelphia have done others can do throughout the United States. There is a place for at least 900,000 independent, self-supporting Negro far- mers. When I was recently in the far west, nothing impressed me more than to note the large number of educated white men who were beginning life as farmers. Often they started in a little hut or “dug out,” and suffered priva- tions, but they were sticking to it. ‘Those are the people who in the fu- ture make the great kings of indus- try. There are openings in the south for 1,000 more saw mills and 1,000 brick yards. It is easily possible to find in- viting places north and south where 4,000 more grocery stores can be opened. We need 2,000 additional dry goods stores and 1,500 shoe stores. Our race needs 1,000 more good restaurants and hotels. ‘The officers of the Philadelphia Negro Business League's committee in charge of the recent celebration are: Chairman, Charles H. Brooks; secre- tary, Charles R. Taylor; treasurer, B. C, Dawkins. Other national officers of the league besides Dr. Washington are as follows: - Vice-presidents, Charles Banks, Mount Bayou, Miss.; J. B, Rush, Little Rock, Ark.; S. G. Elbert, Wilmington, Del.; Harry T. Pratt, Baltimore, Md., and John M. Wright, Topeka, Kan.; corresponding secretary, Emmett J.

A truckers’ association, composed of colored farmers, was organized at Natchez, Miss. About 100 acres was pledged. There were fifty colored far- mers at the meeting who evinced much interest and enthusiasm. The assembly was addressed by Prof. G. W. Brumfield, Prof. 8. H. C. Owens, Dr. A. W. Dumas, J. R. Ross and James Boyd. Prof. G. W. Brumfield was elected president. J.

We must have pride of race. We must be proud of being a Negro as the Japanese is of being a Japanese. Let us go from this great meeting filled with a spirit of race pride, rejoicing in the fact that we belong to a race that has made greater progress within 50 years than any race in history, and let each dedicate himself to the task of doing his part in making the 10,000,000 of black citt- zens in America an example for all the world in usefulness, law-abiding habits and high character.

Lauro Garcia, Under Death Penalty for Killing, May Escape Hang- man’s Noose. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—The sentences of two men were reduced and four requests for executive clemency denied by the State Board of Pardons. Denyer citizens awaited with great- est interest action in the case of Frank Campbell, sentenced from two to three years for killing Charles Blackford, a prisoner. Denver police- men, court oficers and legislators haye made pleas for Campbell, but his case was not even considered. It came before the board as a continued case. The request of James Edwards, sen- tenced from Garfield county to twen- ty to thirty years for bank robbery, was denied, Walter Irving’s sentence, from Pu- eblo, to life imprisonment, was com- muted to twelve years to life. Lawrence Rex's sentence,-from Pu- eblo, to death for murder reduced to thirty years to life. ‘The board denied the application of A. H. Shoettler, Pueblo, seven to eight years for assault to rob. Shoettler applied at the Elk’s home for aid. He was put to work, clothed and fed. According to the evidence he struck the night watchman and en- deayored to rob the home. The case of Lauro Garefa, sen- tenced from Larimer county to hang for murder, came before the board. Garcia appealed to the Supreme Court for a new trial but was unable to ob- tain enough money to pay for the transcript of the case. If the case does not go before the Supreme Court, the pardons hoard will act. One of the Important cases con- tinued was that of W. C. Baragar, who killed Alvina Bollen, his former sweet- heart, on the streets of Denver. The case has attracted attention because of threats of the girl’s brothers to [kill Baragar if W@ is pardoned. Her- man Bollen, a brother, wrote the board that he would be at the prison doors to shoot Baragar as soon as he is pardoned. Baragar was sentenced to life imprisonment by former Judge E. T. Johnson, October 5, 1900. Haven Reports to Land Board. Denver.—More than 200,000 acres of state Jand are tied up by persons who have failed to make their pay- ments as agreed, according to a re- port made to the State Land Board by Horace Hayen, clerk in the depart- ment. The report was made follow- ing « suggestion by the board that Haven give them information regard. ing the state of affairs in the depart- ment.

Denyer.—The work of county as: sessors will be checked up by four special deputies appointed by the tax commission. The majority of com- plaints received by the commission have not been on the assessments, but on the way they have been distri- buted. A careful investigation will be made by the deputies on the 1913 val. uations throughout the state, and a report made to the tax commission in two or three weeks. The special depu ties appointed by Commissioner C. P. Link of the tax commission with the approval of the other members are A. R. Fischer, former assessor of Weld county; J. H. Decker, former assessor of Boulder county; C. D. Wright of Denver, and W. N. Beatty of Saguache county. A fifth deputy will be named.

WILL NOT RECOGNIZE HUERTA GOVERNMENT UNTIL PEACE 1S ESTABLISHED eyestern Newspaper Union News Service: Washington.—So far as the Wash- Ington adininistration is concerned, it became known that no move is con- templated in the Mexican situation at present. The elections of October 26 now are awaited here with keen inter- ‘est, and the next step in the policy of ‘the United States is likely to make its ‘appearance thereafter. | Administration officials made no ‘comment on the long excerpts of Gen- ‘eral Huerta’s message to the Mexican Congress, published here. It is under- stood that the administration does not attach much importance to the docu- ment, though there are passages in it Which did not pass without careful notice. Huerta’s statement that “the tense- ness of diplomatic relations” was with the government of the United States, although luckily not with that people,” invoked little attention, as the same sentiment previously had been voiced by the Mexico City of- ficials and the answer from here was the enthusiastic reception which Pres- ident Wilson received when he ad dressed Congress, and the speeches supporting him made by Republicans and Democrats in Congress. Although the period allowed for for- eign battleships in Mexican waters by the Huerta Congress expires next month and Huerta opposes an exten- sion of time, United States vessels will remain to protect Americans. Meanwhile, officials at Washington ‘will make no move in the situation. Bryan cables Lind at Vera Cruz of America’s views of Huerta’s message.

ECONOMICS AND THE NEGRO Although there are many things mixed in with the principles underlying the various economic reform propositions preached to the numerous classes and sects identified with and largely composing the masses of the general citizenship of the United States, which in their abstract nature seem to appeal directly to the interests of the Negro, he has never been known to exhibit any considerable amount of interest in them, and any effort that has ever been made to gain his support for them in a political way has, in the end, proven a very dismal failure. Socialism, labor unionism, the single tax and all other economic movements which have tended to array the poorer classes or the laboring masses in a political struggle against what is called the capitalistic class, have passed entirely over the head of the Negroes of the United States and left them in nearly the same political position which they have occupied since the franchise was placed in their hands. It is a common thing to find distinct efforts being made to convert other racial elements and to draw them to the standard of these struggling reforms, but similar work among colored people, if attempted at all, has not proved fruitful. It may be generally supposed that the colored man's intellectual capacity is not sufficient to appreciate the force of the arguments favoring the overthrow of long-settled social, political and economic conditions, but, in fact, there is hardly any industrial or political argument of prominence which has been brought before the people which has not been quite thoroughly studied and digested by the intellectual leaders of the Negro race. Indeed, there are individual Negroes of undoubted intellectual ability who strenuously champion some of these reform causes, but they are given seant and impatient hearing among their fellows. Instead of mental inactivity it is sober judgment or strong intuition which keeps the Negro anchored in one political harbor. The promoters of economic reforms, as a rule, dream of conditions which they do not really want to see realized in their entirety. The social strata from which these reformers generally rise is one which accords no equitable ground upon which the Negro can stand, and the social and industrial prejudices of labor unions and Socialistic centers are ever-present contradictions of the virtue of their principles. Strange as it may seem, social reforms founded upon justice, such as do all humanity the most good, are generally initiated by those whose finer intellects and feelings arouse a sympathy stronger than the logic of the class reformer. The Negro's greatest champions have been men of culture and intellect, and the higher social classes, south as well as north, furnish him his greatest protection and help. Thus it comes about that in all efforts to array class against class in a political or industrial way, the Negro sees his interests plainly allied with those who are responsible for conditions as they exist today. RACE UNITY. Perhaps the subject of unity, or lack of it, is oftener discussed by our leaders and the race journals than any other one subject, and it is deservingly so, because we are going to progress along the lines we most desire only in proportion to the unity in action upon the things that concern us as a race. Rudyard Kipling has written in verse the "Jungle Law" which every Negro should commit to memory and ever keep in mind. It is as follows: Now this is the Law of the Jungle, as old and as true as the sky: And the Wolf that shall keep it may prosper but the Wolf that shall break it must die. As the Creeper that circles the tree trunk, so the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack, is the Wolf and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack. We don't mean to discount any of the wonderful progress the race has made during the past fifty years, but we are of the opinion that still greater progress could have been made along many lines if there had been unity. The most of the wealth the race has accumulated has been; for the most part, of individual effort. Aside from our fraternal societies, we have few big business concerns or buildings, the result of united effort on our part. In cities like Philadelphia, Washington, New York and Chicago where the Negro population exceeds eighty thousands there is little to point to with pride which Negro capital has done. The Negroes in these cities have failed to provide places of amusement for themselves and every dance or picnic that is given, the hall or grounds have to be rented from a member of the other race. To give an idea of how much the four cities mentioned must spend in rentals for places of amusement we will compare Denver's population and expenditures for the same thing. Denver's Negro population is about ten thousand, and it has been estimated that fully ten thousand dollars is paid out annually for halls and picnic grounds, so one can see what an enormous amount of money is being paid to others that had just as well remained within the race, if there was only unity in our investments however small they may seem. We have spoken of the great gains to be made in a financial way by united effort, but we by no means mean to overlook the many advantages to be gained by unity in resenting every insult or attempt to treat us other than full fledged American citizens. Dissemination of Disease by Pets By E. Starz, Montana Department of Health That our house pets and domesticated animals may be the cause of disseminating certain diseases among the human family is an established fact, and many cases of that kind are on record. Yet many lovers of pet dogs, cats, birds, etc., are not aware of the dangers which such animals present to them when afflicted with some disease. It is a well-known fact that the cat is susceptible to diphtheria, and the records are full of cases of transmission of that dreadful disease to children playing with such afflicted pets. Likewise are birds carriers of diphtheria. Dogs are infested with many kinds of tapeworms (taenia), among them tenia echinococcus, the eggs of which cause hydatid cysts. It is, therefore, not strange to find persons who are constantly surrounded with dogs suffering frequently from hydatid cysts and tapeworms. Barber's itch (tinea tonsurans), a contagious and persistent skin affection, is frequently transmitted from cats and dogs to man. The same is true of favus or tinea favosa, which is caused by a parasitic mold called achorion schoenleinii, producing yellow scaly crusts on the skin. Another disease of the dog which is transmissible to man is the sarcoptic itch, caused by a microscopic mite called sarcoptes scabiei. Hydrophobia is still another disease of the dog and cat which is transmitted to man by being bitten by these animals and many persons die from it yearly. The disease called glanders or fancy is caused by bacillus mallei, and numerous cases of infection from afflicted animals to man are known. The greatest number of cases of natural glanders infection occur among hostlers, drivers, farmers, horse butchers and other habitual handlers of horses. The bacilli generally gain entrance through abrasions or wounds of the skin. Laboratory workers occasionally become infected through the respiratory organs (nose and lungs) by spilling accidentally culture material. Glanders infection is highly fatal. Anthrax, charbon, splenic fever, or wool sorters' disease is a disease of animals, and easily transmitted to man. The name "wool sorters' disease" is derived from the fact that handlers of hides from cows or wool from sheep which have died from anthrax occasionally contract the disease. Actinomycosis, or "lumpy jaw," is a disease caused by a ray fungus generally found in cattle or swine; rarely in horses or sheep; occasionally cases having been observed in deer, elephants, dogs and cats. Infection in man generally occurs by inoculation with lumpy jaw material carrying the ray fungus, actinomycosis bovis. Human tuberculosis is certainly transmitted to dogs, cats and birds. Many investigators and observers cite cases where dogs, cats and parrots, presenting all the lesions of tuberculosis, were shown to have contracted it from contact with human beings. These examples should suffice to call the attention of the public to the danger which is connected in keeping pet animals in our apartments. Any pet animal showing signs of disease should be removed from the living room and isolated. We owe that precaution to ourselves and others. What's the Harm of Little Kiss? By Jefferson Emerson, Baltimore, Md. What's the Harm of Little Kiss? By Jefferson Emerson, Baltimore, Md. Some features of the "purity wave" now on in this city reach the ludicrous, as witness the arrest of an eighteen-year-old girl and a sixteen-year-old boy in Gwynns Falls park for spooning. Witness, also, the good sense of a Baltimore magistrate in dismissing the youthful couple with the pronouncement that spooning is not indecent. The serious feature, however, in this incident is the arrest, the ride in a patrol wagon and the hearing in a police court of this youthful couple for what? For that which is ages old and which will continue for ages—simply spooning, which is the slang name for courting. Courting—that which the gods smile upon, which is as natural to a boy and a girl as is the budding of the trees, which is as natural as the cooing of the birds, and which is predestined by nature to be preliminary to the popping of the eternal question which makes happiness hold sway over this broad land. This age is prosaic and commercialized enough without minions of the law stepping in and laying hands on those who recall to us all our youthful lovers' spoon. As the magistrate has wisely decided, there is nothing indecent in holding hands and even in a stolen kiss. Fly Swatting Scheme Futile and Absurd By Dr. Charles E. Page, Boston, Mass. Fly Swatting Scheme Futile and Absurd By Dr. Charles E. Page, Boston, Mass. Flies are our fellow sanitarians. Oceans of filth are by them consumed and transformed into the tissues of their healthy bodies in the course of the "fly season." When you kill one fly early in the season you kill a swarm of busy little scavengers that would have been helping to prevent disease by helping us to "clean up." When ever we make everything and every corner and place clean we have said goodbye to flies; on longer needed and with nothing to subsist on, they are doomed. The cleanup at Panama, in New Orleans and Cuba brought about as a matter of course improvement in health of the residents at those points; not from absence of fly bites or mosquito bites, but solely from the banishment of filth and filthy surroundings. The effort to banish flies by swatting here and there one is about like attempting to drain the ocean by dipping it up with a teaspoon. Not one fly in ten millions alights on a human being; and when one does the contact is harmless. At any rate, the swatting scheme is as futile as absurd. Chain gangs of prisoners in many communities are compelled to live under conditions of filth that are ideal for the spread of soil pollution diseases. Chain Gangs of Convicts Breed Much Disease By Prof.Chas.Wardell Stiles,Birmingham,Ala. During the past twenty years I have had a number of opportunities to observe prisoners in penitentiaries, prison farms, jails and chain gangs, and have been seriously impressed with the average lack of cleanliness among the criminals and their guards, although the opportunities for rigid discipline rendered it possible to make these penal institutions admirable schools in which the state might easily give to its charges some good lessons in cleanliness hygiene and sanitation. With few exceptions, the authorities not only failed to see and to utilize the opportunity offered, but they actually permitted things to occur which were dangerous to the communities. JOHN H.

He had just tempted For- ‘une, and for once the jade had proved ~+ prude, and he was left with a broken purse. ‘To describe his remorse would be impossible, he wondered dully what his mother would think when he should seek her out that night in their unpretentious hotel that overlooked the bay at Monaco and tell her that the trip would have to be postponed; that they must hasten home without delay. He cursed himself for a fool, and then chuckled grimly as he thought of the surplusage of money he would have when he had pawned ya: rious articles of apparel, the proceeds ‘of which would go to buy tickets for home. “Just enough for a box of cigar ettes,” he muttered as he stumbled down the steps to the street. “Sir, can you not understand even English?” spoke a delicious musical yoice. Bracebridge scrambled slowly back to earth from the realms of de- spair into which he had descended. A big red limousine car stood by the curb, and from its window protruded a vision of pink and gold and fluffiness that caused ®racebridge to uncover with a haste that was more worshipful than graceful. “Eh! What do you want?” he asked, rudely, for his dulled brain was not as quick as it was wont to be, nor his tongue as smooth; but the next in- stant he blushed in cogfusion at his own gruffness. “I beg your pardon, madam; can I be of service to you?” “Ah, you can,” she sighed, relieved: ly. “Come into the car,” and she threw open the door, making room for him beside her. “But,” said Bracebridge, hesitating, caer ba “Come, if you are going,” she spoke impatiently, at the same time rising and grasping his wrist. Bracebridge stepped from the curb and dropped on the seat beside her. “Away, Adolphe!” she cried, sharp- ly. The chauffeur started the machine with a rush, Bracebridge had a_ sensation of a swift journey through the night, but it was a dim one, for he was busy drinking in the woman's beauty as she sat beside him, her neck encircled by @ pearl collar, an expensive opera cloak thrown over her shoulders. The girl laughed mischievously and sald: “Tam human; you act afraid, as though you might be in the presence of a deity. I would not harm a living creature and surely not you. Besides, 1 am smaller than you, you see.” She ranged her tiny gloved hand in white kid beside Bracebridge’s larger ones. ‘And then the eternal masculine as “sumptiveness of soul arose in Brace- bridge. He could not tell from whence came his sudden courage, but with a pounce he captured her fingers and threw his muscular arm around her. “You are mussiug my frock; I will all Adolphe, you insolent man,” she vaid, between gasps. ‘The car ran to the curb and stopped with a jerk. When the door was opened Bracebridge was saying: “I am clumsy, madam, in arranging your cloak, and I greatly fear your ruffles ¥ ill be spoiled.” He stepped out and looked around; they were back in front of the Casino again. “{ thank you greatly that you will aid me at all, sir,” she said, smiling. “I abducted you o na wager, sir, that I could carry off the first gentleman } saw at the Casino.” “And may I see you tomorrow?” he asked, his soul in suspense. “The heart cannot be, controlled,” she whispered softly.” “Drive on, Adolphe.” The machine whirred away. “And now to purchase those cigar ettes,” said Bracebridge. Something crackled in his coat pocket; he felt, and it was a newspaper. “How did I get that?” he asked him. self, opening it ¢bsently. The flaming headlines caught his eye: WOMAN IN RED AUTO ROBS ENGLISH LORD. Most Daring Scheme In Years—Lord Algernon the Victim. He put his hand in his change pock- et, where reposed his last five-frana note, “a remnant of the last battle.” “The devil; that girl has touched me!” he cried. “I was a fool not ta think before what her game was. . .. But thank the gods that I am only a common person; they'll never know what a fool I've been, as they know about the Englishman. I don't believa I will smoke cigarettes tonight,” he added, as an afterthought. He pulled out his old briar pipe, lighting it in silence; then he slowly took his way toward the hotel. “pis sad to lose your money and your ideal on one summer's eve,” h¢ quoth, very crestfallen.

This house once gave shelter to princes and poets—among the latter Dante and Goethe—and was at one time the most fashionable hos- telry in Rome. It was particularly popular because the price of a room— some 50 cents—in the fourteenth cen- tury comprised wine ad libitum, while in other inns the refreshments to which guests were entitled free of charge was limited to a certain por ton. WANT NEW BULLETIN Big Demand for the Weekly News Letter. Department of Agriculture Embarrassed by Growth in Popularity—Locking for Some Way to "Side-step" Without Hurting Any One's Feelings. Washington.—Again the department of agriculture is suffering from an excess of popularity. The last time it ran into an embarrassment of this sort was when the past spring it issued its now famous "bird book," which was a manual of the common farm and orchard birds of interest to farmers. There was such a shoal of requests for copies that the department has never been able to catch up with the requests. This time it is in connection with the "weekly news letter" that Secretary Houston undertook to get out as a sort of compensation to the 36,000 crop correspondents who get no other reward for their services. The first issue of this letter has just been put out. It consists of about 1,800 words of typewriting, giving in popular language and paragraph form summaries of bulletins and other things of immediate interest to agriculturists. The intention was to get out an edition just large enough to supply the correspondents. The first number contained paragraphs about investigations into seed adulteration, damage to the market value of hides by the cattle tick, action against misbranded insecticides, etc., of direct interest to farmers. There was an immediate flood of applications for the letter from country papers and besides other things a request that a copy be sent to each of the $8,000 postoffices for posting for the benefit of visitors. All this was quite complimentary, but the appropriation for white paper alone to meet such a demand was too much of a drain, and the mechanical facilities for printing and mailing all the copies were entirely inadequate. So the department is now looking around for some way to sidestep gracefully without hurting any one's feelings. Monthly Bulletin of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, department of commerce, showing exports from the principal customs districts of breadstuffs, cottonseed oil, food animals, meat and dairy products, cotton, and mineral oils shows a total of $47,750,000 for July, 1913, against $33,000,000 in July, 1912. The chief increase occurs in wheat, of which the exports from the principal customs districts during July, 1913, were 9,397,745 bushels, against 523,385 bushels in July of last year, the value being $9,003,182, against $537,928 in July of last year. These exports of wheat in July were larger than in July of any earlier year since 1901. Flour, also, shows a considerable increase, being $3,611,986 for July, 1913, against $2,616,022 for July, 1912. Meat and dairy products show an increase of about $2,500,000 over July of last year; cotton an increase of $1,333,000; mineral oils, an increase of nearly $1,000,000; while cottonseed oil and cattle and food animals show a slight decline. The total for the six groups of articles named—breadstuffs, cottonseed oil, food animals, meat and dairy products, cotton and mineral oil—for July, 1913, is $47,739,815, against $32,992,614 in July of last year, and for the seven months ending with July, $486,691,678, against $486,978,217 in the corresponding months of last year. The present model of rifle used by the United States army should have of rifle used by army should have a life of usefulness of at least ten years, in the opinion of the Keeping U. S. Rifles Clean. ordnance officers, and a determined effort is being made to prevent the condemnation of thousands of rifles that are turned in as worn out when they are really serviceable. A circular issued last week declares that one of these rifles should be capable of firing 8,000 to 13,000 rounds before becoming so worn as to be inaccurate. Many of the rifles turned in as serviceable are found to be in this condition more through want of careful cleaning and the use of abrasives than by any reason of the actual number of rounds fired. Therefore, it has been ordered that such guns as are worn at the muzzle with barrels rusted or pitted, a sign that they have not been properly treated, shall be tried out by expert riflemen, and not condemned unless they show marked inaccuracy at the targets. James M. Sullivan, minister to the Dominican republic and a resident of New York, is a literally hot-footed Democrat. This is literally true. The other night, after a gruelling hot day of meeting officials of the state department and trying to find a job for some friends, Mr. Sullivan pulled up at his hotel here lame and hot footed. He said his feet were so hot that they were giving him agony and making the rest of his body and spirits hot, too. He called a sea-going hack, jumped in and ordered the driver to find a place where it was cool. The driver headed for Potomac park along the river. Arrived there Mr. Sullivan saw some long, wet, soft looking grass. "Halt!" he called to the driver. The latter did so, suddenly. Mr. Sullivan reached down, unlaced his shoes, pulled them and his socks off, rolled up his pants and stepped out of the vehicle into the grass. He waded, dragged his feet, lifted them up and put them down softly. He had blades of grass between his toes, pulled great handsful and washed his feet with it. After being in the grass for half an hour the sky became overcast. The driver said a storm was coming. Mr. Sullivan told him to never mind; that he would be paid for getting wet. A storm did come. It rained torrentially. Through it all Mr. SuHivan stayed in the grass. About two hours after-leaving the hotel he returned with cold feet and a pleasant temper. It was a large bill he gave the cochera. the stress of the storm, but this chimney has never stood up within the memory of old inhabitants. It has been a leaning chimney for many years, but in view of the tenacity and persistence with which it leans one would hesitate to call it a decrepit chimney. This old chimney leans as much as it did when 16th street was only 16th street and no more, when the section over which it leans was generally called Meridian Hill neighborhood, and before rich men began to build residences in that section. Friends of the crooked chimney felt that in the late storm the end of it had come. They felt that its bricks and mortar and its topping tile would be scattered on the ground. But the chimney never lost a brick. On the west side of 16th street, at the intersection of Columbia road and Mount Pleasant street, is a row of small frame houses. They sit rather far back from the street, for the line of 16th street and its grade were slightly changed when it was made into a great way. The chimney leans over the roof of the northernmost of these old houses. Increase in the industrial and commercial activity of the United States during the last fiscal year, as compared with 1912, is disclosed by figures made public by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce. These show there was a gain of almost 12 per cent, in the value of exports of manufactures, manufacturers' materials and agricultural products. The increase amounted to $262,000,000, and the total exports this last year were $2,466,000,000. The imports increased almost ten per cent., the gain being $160,000,000, the grand total during the year aggregating $1,813,000,000. Exports of iron and steel manufactures this year amounted to $305,000,000, against $268,000,000 last year, and the total exports of manufactures other than foodstuffs were valued at $1,187,000,000, against $1,020,000,000 in 1912. The copper produced in the first six months this year was $809,000,000 pounds, against 736,000,000 pounds in the same period last year, and the exports of copper and manufactures thereof, exclusive of ore, approximate $140,000,000 this year, against $114,000,000 last year. The conversation in the cloakroom having turned from tariff to servants. Senator Warren of Wyoming told this tale: Washington family had resigned, according to the senator, and an hour or two before she left the house her mistress, in anything but a sweet temper, said to her: "I hope you will leave here in a better manner than you came. If I remember rightly your goods were brought here in a wheelbarrow!" "I am going away in an automobile," said the maid, as a motor car's chugging was heard outside in the back alley. "My new mistress is sending one for my clothes and things." "Is that so?" was the scornful response of the ruffled woman. "Then why don't they drive up to the door in a respectful and respectable manner, instead of choosing the alleyway?" "I don't know," replied the maid, "but I suppose they don't care to let people think they are on visiting terms here." Baseball by Wireless. When the battleship Illinois was returning from Madera to the United States and was distant 2,115 nautical miles from Arlington, and 2,610 nautical miles from Key West, she intercepted wireless messages from these stations and at the same time heard stations on both sides of the Atlantic Baseball scores were received the night the Illinois left Madeira, which added greatly to the interest of the messages.

German Scientists Point Out the Heavy Cost to Humanity for Standing Position—Experiments Prove Virtue of Locomotion on All Fours. Three of Germany's famous scientists have been making experiments to prove that humanity makes a great mistake in walking upright instead of on all fours. Thereby, they declare man brings on himself many physical evils from which the more sensible and less aspiring horse and dog are free. When man first stood on his hind legs he disturbed the whole equilibrium of his organism; and since then he has been trying in vain to adapt his architecture and organs to his unnatural carriage. As he has failed he has brought on himself weakness and disease. One of the first to occupy himself with this question was Prof. Ernst Haekel, the Jena biologist and Darwinian. It has now been carried much further by the experiments which Dr. H. Gerhart has lectured on at the Berlin University Polyclinical institute. Dr. Gerhart placed quadrupeds in a similar position, and observed them. A typical test was made with a fox terrier, which stood and walked on its hind legs for seven hours a day for 28 weeks. The terrier was then compared with an ordinary dog. Examination showed that the change had radically transformed the terrier's anatomy. In order to counterbalance the tendency to fall forward, the dog had continually bent its spinal column backward. The result was a marked deformation of the vertebrae. Standing upright had also deformed the thorax and pelvis. The bones of the hind legs had bent forward in a way suggesting rickets or degeneration of the bone. The internal organs also showed changes. The left lung had fallen slightly; the heart was enlarged owing to the constant exertion of standing as a biped, and it had turned round partly on its axis. The liver, stomach and kidneys had also receded further from the head. In other words, the dog had grown closer to the human type. Certain penalties caused by the upright carriage are shown by Dr. Ernest Klotz of Leipzig. It was plainly intended, he says, that the spinal column should be horizontal; and that all vital and easily injured organs, such as the heart and stomach, should hang downward from it and be protected by it. "The spinal column," he says, "is nothing but a roof of bone." It is not at all intended to stiffen the body into an upright carriage. When man went four footed, with his organs pendent from his spinal column, all the organs were in exactly defined positions as regards one another. When he began to go upright these organs tended to sag and fall downward and thus disturbed their functions. This caused many ailments, and particularly digestive complaints, which no animal suffers from. These complaints have been a cause of weakness to man and, instead of returning to an all four attitude, he has for millions of years past been trying to adapt himself to the new conditions. But he has not altogether succeeded, and is still suffering from the disturbed equilope. Most marked is the fact that the human legs have not adapted themselves to be man's only support. It even seems that in civilized countries the adaptive process has come to a stop and as a result of the failure of two legs to do the work of four patological deformation of the sole of the foot is going on. Today man unconsciously hankers after his lost position of quadruped. This is seen by the attitudes he takes during sleep. Numerous scientific tests show that the regenerative effect of sleep both on body and mind is greatest when a man sleeps face downward as do the majority of animals. Nightmares, "sleep drunkenness," "brain pressure" and other abnormal sleep conditions are never experienced by a man sleeping in this position. They are caused by the genuine biped attitude of sleeping on the back. Sleeping on the back with the limbs outstretched, is so unnatural that the lower animals can be temporarily paralyzed by fixing them in that position. In short, man's upright carriage, which he regards as his unique distinction and glory, is merely a psychological blunder, and it will remain so until man has perfectly adapted himself to it. Unluckily, there is reason to think that the perfect equipoise will never be attained. Circus Catastrophe. At the circus grounds many people wondered at the unusual delay, caused by the late arrival and a lack of sufficient workmen. "They ain't goin' t' be no show today," said a live looking newsboy. "Ain't goin' t' be no show? What fer?] anxiously queried another. "Cause the elephant stepped on the coffee pot and they can't find the grounds." Worth Remembering.

There Are Scores of Lunatics Who Are Good Artists, and Some of Them Make Big Incomes by Their Art—Work Is Unreliable. "I am sure," said a well-known mind doctor, in an interview with the New York Press, "you would be amazed at the clever work that is done by hundreds of men and women who are hopelessly insane. Some of it at least is as good as that done by sane people who earn large incomes. "Among my patients today is one man whose skill with the brush would almost surely qualify him for high rank if he were only in possession of his senses. There are few of the great exhibitions which do not contain one or more of his canvases, and he has often received as much as $500 for a picture. And yet this man is as 'mad as a hatter,' the victim of terrible delusions and subject to violent homicidal attacks. "Naturally, his work is unreliable. One week he will produce a masterly and beautiful picture, with genius in every line of it. The next he will paint the most weird picture, perfect nightmare in color which, curiously enough he always considers a masterpiece. "And this man is no exception, for there are scores of lunatics who are quite excellent artists, and many of them make good incomes by their art. Several years ago an exhibition of pictures, the work of insane patients of the Bethlehem Royal hospital, was open to the public, and I can assure you many of them are beautiful works of art. "There are hundreds of other lunatics who are just as skillful in music and literature. One of my own patients, who is hopelessly mad on one subject, and who is a perfect musical genius, has composed operas and symphonies and scores of songs which have won considerable fame for him and have brought him a small fortune. And I know of many other insane men and women who earn small and regular incomes in the same way." "There are, similarly, hundreds of the insane who make a hobby, and sometimes a very profitable one, of writing. Indeed, many of our asylums have magazines which are almost entirely the work of the patients. "Even in our public asylums there are hundreds of patients who make money by skilled work of one sort or another. Thus, in a county asylum I know well one man who does the most exquisite water color sketches, for which he receives from $15 to $50 each, and he has a market for as many as he can produce. Unfortunately, like so many mad artists, he is often unable or unwilling to finish a picture, and thus at least four-fifths of his work is wasted. "Another patient, a former sea captain, spends his time in making the most perfect tiny models of ships, carved with infinite skill and pains from bone or ivory, for each of which he gets $5 to $10. For one very elaborate and beautiful model of a cathedral he was paid as much as $150, and it was certainly very cheap at the price. A third patient in the same asylum earns many dollars a year by cutting the cleverest silhouettes out of colored paper. "Other patients are equally skilled in a very wide range of industries, from inventing toys and puzzles to making watches and picture frames, and from breeding canaries and mice to raising flowers. One very ingenious man actually made a clock, with no other material than pins, buttons, iron bed laths and pieces of knitting needles. "The women, too, are just as clever as the men. I know one demented woman who writes the most charming books for children, and verses for Christmas cards, another who makes a good income, in her lucid hours, by illustrating books, and a third who draws several hundred dollars a year from royalties on her plays. And there are countless women in our public asylums who earn money in scores of ways, such as knitting, lace making, straw plaiting and leather work." Watered Stock. A milkman in a country town not far from New York was brought before the local court to answer a charge of adulteration of milk. "You are charged," said the judge, "with a most serious offense, of selling adulterated milk. Have you anything to say in answer to the charge?" "Well, your worship," answered the milkman, "the night before it was raining very hard, and the only cause I can give is the cow must have got wet through."—Harper's Weekly. Hurrying Home. Years ago, when there were only wooden sidewalks in the City of Winnipeg, Canada, holes were bored in the planks to let the water run through. In the morning twilight a policeman found a man with the tip of his wooden leg in one of these holes and hurriedly walking around it. "What are ye doing here?" asked the policeman. "G'way offser," said the man. "Got to get home before the old lady wakes up."—Everybody's.

Thomas Edward Bridges, D. D., who was from 1823 to 1843 President of Corpus Christi college, Oxford. At Eton, and later at Oxford, Mr. Bridges was noted for his schol- arship, but he found time to distin- guish himself in athletics. He was an enthusiastic cricketer and oarsman. In 1867 he was placed in the second class in the Final School of Litterae Humaniores. After leaving the unt- versity he spent a number of years in foreign travel, familiarizing himselt, to an extent unusual for an English- man, with life on the continent and in the far east. On his return to London he became a student of medicine at St. Bartholo- mew’s hospital, receiving, in due course, the degree of M. B. at Oxford. He then began the practice of his pro- fession, being regularly attached to the staff of St. Bartholomew's hospital and of the Children’s hospital in Great Ormonde street. Retiring from prac- tice in 1882, he married and left Lon- don for his beautiful rural estate at Yattendon, in Berkshire. Since that time he has devoted himself exclu- sively to literature, and particularly to poetry.

The difficulty of getting farm hands into a union 1s great, be- cuuse the men live at great distances from one another, and because thelr Mr. Bridges’ admirers is his devotion to the most technical and abstruse Problems of versecraft. His book, “Milton's Prosody,” is, in the words ot Dr. Herbert Warren in “Robert Bridg- es and Contemporary Poets,” one ot the most minute and illuminating con: tributions ever made to the study of English metric generally, and especial- ly to that of Milton’s blank verse. In- fluenced largely by the work of the late W. J. Stone of Radley college, he tas written a large number of poems in the classical meters, poems in which the quantities of the syllables, rather than their accents, are the es- sentials. Of this extremely difficult ‘sort of writing, which can never be ‘thoroughly appreciated except by ‘those intimately familiar with Greek and Latin postry, a good example 1s the “Peace Ode,” written in June, 1902, on the conclusion of the Boer war. It is unrimed and in Alcaics. Interesting to students of the sub- ject as are Mr. Bridges’ experiments in classical meters, it is on hiw work done in the familiar English rhythms that he must depend for popular es- teem. ‘There can really be no difference of opinion about Dr. Robert Bridges’ place in English poetry. Among the men poets of today he 1s unquestion- ably one of the most entirely poetical. His only rival in fine lyrical quality is Mr. W. B. Yeats, whose true work in poetry is concentrated in some ten or twelve poems, most of the copious writing—plays and verse—which are to be found in the fine edition of his works that was published some years back by Mr. A. H. Bullen being of a markedly inferior quality. If the office of laureate tx 80 be con- fined to a man, there can not be a question but that Dr, Bridges haa done the most perfect lyrical work among them, and that all his books will be greatly enhanced in value by the ap- pointment. But the post of poet laureate, row shorn of all its trappings of office, its need for odes on state occasions and the like, which Dr. Bridges is no more likely to write than Mr. Yeats, should obviously be given to the greatest man et letters, to the man who {s not only a fine poet and prose writer. day, but no worse than the whole state had experienced for many weeks. Half the farmers in the au- dience had given. up their corn crops as lost on account of the drought. The sky was clear and the sun burn- ed like, a big coal of-fire. Dudley started to speak at exactly two o'clock. He looked at his watch and said: - “I promise you that within an hour we shall have rain. Therefore, I shall talk only 45 minutes so that Mr, Jackson may have a chance to say a few words.” “It it rains, we'll vote for you!” shouted many persons in the crowd. Doolittle spoke 40 minutes and then turned to sit down. Before he reached his chair a torrent of rain began to fall. ¢ Not only was Jackson unable to speak that afternoon, but so great was the rainfall that his night meeting in the opera house was canceled, too. And inasmuch as Doolittle kept his promise of rain, the crowd kept its promise of votes. nine. But the most interesting part of the new reform is the novel meth- od of electing members. The elec: tors are to be divided into groups of fifty, and each group will elect an elector-delegate. The _electors-dele- gate, in turn, will be divided into groups, each representing about 200,- 000 inhabitants, and each such group will elect one member to the assem. bly. Every elector-delegate is bound by law to keep in touch with his fifty electors. ‘This system, which gives the humblest peasant an immediate voice in an election, has been de- scribed as one of the most effective methods of ascertaining the wishes of a nation ever inyented. It also dis- tributes the electoral right more evenly. Hitherto each town, village. or district had only one elector-dele- gate, irrespective of its population, and thus a large town might have had no greater rights in an election than a small village. low wages make it impossible for them to subscribe more than five cents a week. As Mr. Edwards (the secretary of the union), an assistant secretary and two organizers receive in all about $1,000 a year, the en- thusiasts at the head of the organiza. tion are hardly leading it for what they~can get out of it! In Scotland a farm servants’ union is making sound progress, and is able to publish a re- markable illustrated — twenty-page monthly, the style and tone of which reflect no small credit on those di- recting the movement. Telephone Wire. There are 6,000,000 telephone sta- tions in this country, and the amount of wire made use of will total at 12, 000,000 miles. Some idea of what this total means may be grasped when we calculate that this length of wire could be wrapped around the earth 500 times and that {t would make fifty separate Ines from the earth to the moon, but there would not be half enough wire to reach from the earth to our nearest planetary neighbor. Food Believed to Have Effect on Character. Men Who Have Given Thought to the Subject Are of Opinion That Proper Kind of Eating Is of Immense Importance. Nowadays eating has become a ver- Itable science, and there are those who assert that a man can alter his very character if he will only Indulge in the right kind of dict. The other day the private secretary of the Ma- harajah of Jhalawar gave a lecture on food in London, in the course of which he stated that the eating of onions is conducive to “darkness of spirit.” He also averred that the caste system in India fs largely regulated by diet. Thus, those of the highest caste only eat vegetarian meals in order to keep thelr souls pure. Members of an- other caste are allowed to eat meat so that they may become fitted to be war- rlors; while the lowest caste of all eat “stale, flat foods,” which suit their unspiritual natures, ‘Two noted German professors gave it as their opinion not long ago that if people would eat plenty of chalk they would have not only more energy and happiness, but considerably increased brain power. A doctor in Philadelphia recently stated that no one who eats a pound of macaroni daily will ever become a drunkard, but he also stipulated that the would-be teetotaler should live en- Urely on a vegetable diet and never touch meat in any circumstances. In direct contradiction to the “vege- tarianism for soulfulness” theory is that of a New York woman. She be- Meves that there is nothing like fine chops and glasses of beer to inspire ‘poets and writers, and she opened a ‘restaurant for the express purpose of ‘providing those who would woo the ‘muse with the proper kind of diet. ‘She has no patience with people who ‘would become “soulful” on prunes and lentils. and her “inn for bohemians,” as her establishment is called, has certainly been well patronized by bud- ding Tennysons and future Merediths. ‘The belief is gaining ground in many quarters that if you wish to stave off old age and to have the feel- ing of perennial youth and gaiety, no matter what your actual years may be, you cannot do better than eat plenty of sugar. One of the pioneers of this theory {s Professor Metchnikoff, who has made exhaustive experiments to prove his statements. There are some who even assert that not only does the frequent eating of sugar keep one from growing old, but that if a man or woman will begin the sugar treatment, even after senil- ity has set in, the effect will be so great as to amount.to a complete change in his or her character. Moneker. Moneker, or moniker slang, and probably “thieves Latin” for “a name” has for some time puzzled those who try to follow such graceless fag-ends of language back to their originals. One who has evidently devoted much study to the subject says that “in ac- cordance with the law of back-slang moneker is but cognomen disguised. ‘The objection does not lie that a pure- ly Latin noun is above the reach of the thief in his kennel, for the Alsatla of the mediaeval thief was the kitchen of the monastery, whence Latin came out with the garbage. With the tre- mendous vitality of word roots the master-of back-slang inverted the order of root and prefix and cognomen was rearranged into nomencog. The next inversion took hold of the first syllable of the root and inverted it; the result is mon-en-cog. From this to moneker is the easy progress of word degradation in the pronouncia- tion of those unworthy to speak. It is for this reason that, if any prefer- ence is preferable in speech so low, moneker is the preferred spelling.” ‘There does not appear to be finality about this derivation, however. Can any reader help us out? Countess Dances 15,000 Miles. The Countess Lambsdorff has just given her unique memoirs to the pub- lie in book form, and St. Petersburg ts full of talk about them. The author states that she attended 225 dances prior to her marriage and 557 after her wedding. Before she was married she received 18 offers of marriage at different balls, and afterward 272 men sent her love missives, while 100 more enthusiasts and temperamental gen- tlement threatened. to shoot them: selves in their despair. ‘The number of dances which Count: ess Lambsdorff takes to her credit is nothing short of stupendous. She took part, she says, in 2,934 square dances, 4,500 waltzes and 600 polkas. She had 1,700 partners, of which, she declares, 1,200 were stupid, 300 boresome, 120 in- offensive, 22 nice and only three witty. ‘The countess estimates that she has danced over 15,000 miles; as_ she at tended 7,934 dances, this estimate 1s modest. timmavion’® Used labMan.

WIN’S AWAKENING tyranny they said: “As bossy as Win Neffens’ wife.” Win Neffens’ wife had been named Serena before her characteristics had @ chance to develop. She was pretty ina birdiike way, with snapping black eyes and a pert twist of the neck and a general snug, trim round- ness of person that reminded one ot @ sparrow. When Win first knew her he was charmed with her little air of proprietorship and the way she ruled him and ordered him around. It was pleasing to think that a girl took enough interest in him to act as though she owned him. Nobody had ever interfered with his having his own way before and it amused him to Iet such a scrap of a girl bend him, ‘a six-footer and broad in proportion, to her will. After the novelty wore off it was different, Still, being a good-natured and placid fellow, he endured it and was not particularly unhappy about it till the question of joining the Antelopes came up. The Antelopes were primar- fly a fraternal order, but they were fitting up real club rooms, with a reading room, billiard and card rooms, and Three Pines had never had any- thing of the sort before, Up to that time when fell the shades of night and business men In Main street shut up shop there was no place to go but home, and they went, If clustering around the eve: ning lamp reading the Daily Clarion and the Farm Journal ever palled they dla not voice their boredom, be- cause the case was hopeless. With the advent of the Antelopes a great light shone out. All the male popula tion hastened to join the Antelopes. Then and there Serena Neffens de lvered her ultimatum. “Don’t you let me hear of your go- ing near those Antelopes, Win Nef- fens!” she told her husband. “It's perfectly scandalous the way the men are acting about it. I for one am go- ing to keep my husband at home! Where should a married man be but home, I'd like to know? Pretty idea, | deserting his wife and family just to -waste money on cigars and billiards and gossip! You don't see me going out to clubs evenings, do you? Well, you don't go, either!” Win Neffens walked out of the house without a word, as was usual with him when Serena talked, but he wore a@ frown, which was unusual. Every man in town but himself was going to join the Antelopes and he wanted to join, also. It would be nice to have a comfortable club to drop into occasionally—Serena _ needn't have been so peremptory and selfish. He felt rebellious. It was while he was fuming bitterly that the tempter in the shape of Ben Sprankle got hold of him. “S'pose Serena kicked up a row, eh?" asked that astute elderly personage when Win told him shortly that he wasn't going to join. “Huh! Don't be an idiot! You join anyhow and she'll never know it! The boy's won't tell on yeh!” In a fit of reckless daring Win Net. fens followed Sprankle’s advice and with the freemasonry of a small town all the other members . were aware that they were to keep still about it at home. Thereupon Win launched out on his double life. When he was date to supper he ex- plained that he had been talking with a traveling man. Besides, his business Jinereased so that every once In a | while he had to go back to the store after supper to work on the books and his correspondence. It wore on Win and he developed nerves. Serena was always lecturing on the sins of the Antelopes. She called the club a home-breaker and said she, for one, wouldn't stand it the way the other women did. Win was always guiltily expecting the blow to fall. When Serena did not come home one day till a half hour after he arrived for supper, he took ono look at her face and knew the blow had fallen. Somebody had told her. As he surveyed her standing gazing at him breathlessly, biting her lip, collecting her forces for one grand explosive attack, a curious calm fell over him, the calm of despair. Then | to his utter amazement, he heard him- self speaking, or, rather, roaring. Hoe even pounded the table with his big fist. “What do you mean,” he heard com- ing from own. lps, “by being away from your home this time of the day? What do you mean by keeping me waiting for my supper? Gadding | about, gossiping, neglecting your bus- band and your duty—" “Wh—wh—why, Win!” gasped his startled wife. He had never in all the | years even raised his voice before. “[ tell you, I won't stand it!” he concluded at the end of five minutes’ heated remarks that seemed to form themselves, “This is what drives a | an to clubs!

Every housekeeper likes new and tasty ways of dishing up potatoes, and these two recipes are particularly ‘good. | For potato cakes take cold boiled mashed potatoes, dredge lightly with flour and season well with salt and Pepper, adding a little bit of -yeast. Mix the potatoes with a little cold milk into a paste and roll out into round shape about one inch in thick- ness. Place a lump of butter In a frying pan and put in the cake, cov- ering it and allowing it to cook. When one side is brown turn, and a little more butter and brown the other side. Drain the cake well and garnish with parsley and serve hot. For potato duchess, select mealy boiled potatoes and beat them with a fork lightly while they are still hot. Have ready a couple of eggs well beaten (the whites and yolks separ- ately), the whites being beaten to a stiff froth. Beat the yolks into the potatoes and season to taste; then add a tablespoonful of butter and two of cream. Whip all together until creamy and then whip in lightly the beaten whites of the eggs. Place the mixture over the fire in a saucepan and stir well together until thorough- ly hot, then serve.

As in all those des: serts calling for cantaloupe, only those of the finest flavor should be selected. Cut the melons lengthwise, in halves or thirds, according to size. Remove the seeds and spongy tissue. Fill each with vanilla ice cream and some very thin slices of fresh peach. Dec- crate with two or three cherries, candied or fresh. Occasionally, when- the cream 1s served with these melons, the pulp 4s scooped out, diced and flavored, and then returned to the shell, with the cream and other garnishes. The va- rious flavors are in that case more likely to be amalgamated, if one con- aiders that desirable. Usually the flavors in such sweets are better for being kept distinct. ‘Baan Mold | A reader who asked for a thicken- ing medium to use with fruit juices to replace gelatine, ete., will find this simple dish desirable, Add a little sugar according to the acidity of the fruit, to whatever fruit 1s to be used. Set in a rather cool oven until the juice flows freely. Soak a teacupful of sago in a pint and a half of cold water for an hour, then bring to a boil in a saucepan, then simmer gen- tly until clear and rather thick, Add halt a pint of the fruit juice, boll to- gether a few minutes and sweeten to taste, Pour into a wet mold or bowl, and set away until firm enourh to turn out. Serve with sugar and cream. Mayonnaise of Chicken in Shells. Pour a teaspoonful of mayonnaise Into some china shells and fill up each with finely minced chicken, a little minced ham, shredded lettuce, strips of hard boiled egg and a stoned olive. Cover it all thoroughly with mayon- naise and sprinkle with minced pars- ley and sleved yolk of egg. Any re- mains of meat can be served in this way, to which a chopped up anchovy is a delicious addition. RNG cere ee Stove polish, when mixed with tur pentine and applied in the usual man- ner, is blacker, more glossy and more durable than when mixed with any other liquid. The turpentine prevents rust, and when put on an old rusty stove will make it look as well ar new. s To Stop a Leak. To stop a leak, mix whiting and yel- ‘low soap into a thick paste with a lit- tle water. Apply this to the place where the leakage is and it will be instantly stopped. A visit from the plumber will still be necesary, but there is no special hurry for more radical repairs. When Milk Curdles. | should you ever have trouble with milk curdiing when you put it on to boil try adding a liberal pinch of bi- carbonate of soda to each quart of milk before putting it on the stove.

Forecast of Styles That Have Been Settled On as the “Smartest of the Smart." In the majority of fall models wom- en will look older, This is because the bonnet, mushroom and bell shapes have given way to the hat with an up- turned brim, and to be strictly in style the brim raust turn at the back If you are young and fair to look on, by all means wear a chinband on your new fall hat. This can be of vel- vet ribbon, taffeta or moire or of tulle and maline. It can have a fastening by means of a hook and eye, or the streamers can be tied at one side, co- quettishly under one ear or just in front. ‘The chinband will be noticeable on hats for afternoon and evening. One “cap” is of velvet, with a puffed erown and a visor which comes down in front. At one side is a panache mounting to a great height and giving a dashing effect that would look well with a military suit. On a black velvet hat for evening there is used chantilly lace for the brim and for the wired bow at the back that holds the turned-up brim. ‘The sugar-scoop hat of black velvet will be a typical fall style. It has no clearly defined crown and the greatest height is at the back. The tilt is down toward the nose, and a pandeau is frequently the means to the end. In a boat-shaped hat the length from front to back is emphasized by a hort- zontal line of feathers. The brim flares up decidedly at the side. There has been inspiration in- the Jockey’s cap, which is now shown in green velvet, the brim turned up at the back and extending out in front. Wired loops rise at the back. A visor cap has a satin extension in front, a low crown and loops of ribbon ‘at each side pointing backward, Alluring robes in delicately colored crepe de chine and white lace are list- ed as nightgowns, but may quite as properly be worn as negligees, and most women buy them for that pur- pose. The back and front, each cut from a single breadth of double-width crepe de chine, are so gradually sloped from the lower edge—finished with an ‘a-jour-headed hem—to the bust, that nowhere is there an atom too much fullness. At the top the crepe de chine widths at back and front are opened at the right side and drawn in a point to that shoulder, while the other side is caught under the left arm. The entire lower sec- tion is swung from a deep yoke of white lace whose neck is drawn taut by a ribbon run beading after the robe is on, for there is no other open- ing and no fastening to bother with. The elbow sleeves are simply wide puffs of lace ending in narrow ruffles gathered with ribbon and beading. PRETTY COMBINATION. IE cdl | Ti \ (WG Cir ; peel y ‘ i] oy Hidden Sashes. Half hidden sashes are considered tne grand chic. The sash frankly en- circles the waist and forms a more or less conspicuous bow at the back. Then the ends pass under a tunic of lace chiffon or machine embroidery— according to the nature of the costume —emerging at the knee to fall over the skirt. Sometimes the ends of the sash are knotted under the semi- transparent tunic and caught against the skirt, to give the clinging effect now fashionable. Indeed, most sash ends are now attached to the skirt 1n some fashion, for floating ends are anything but smart. If the sash is not sewed against the skirt at its ends, it is at least substantially weighted, so that even when the wearer dances the ends fall limp and straight. Women Wear Sandals. | Cothurnes, the quaint laced foot- ‘gear of the season, may lead us to the ‘sandal period again. A great many ‘smart women are wearing sandals in ‘thieir homes, and, of course, any num: ‘ber favor sandals for the country, but ‘sandals on city pavements are neith: ‘er sensible nor practical, and it {s to be hoped they will not become peuninniahie: The combined knickers and camisole has now become very popular wear, and here we show a pretty design. ‘The camisole has a square opening edged with beading and lace, the lat- ter only finishing the armhole. Wide beading forms the waist-band, also edges the legs, to which are set deep material frills, trimmed with in- sertion, tucks and lace. Materials required: 3 yards 40 inches wide, 1% yard narrow, 2% yards wide beading, 2% yards inser- tion, 2 yards wide and 3% yards nar- row lace, 4 yards wide and 1% yard narrow ribbon .__ Fall Colors. Among the fall colors is a curious shade of green known as Bakst green. Copper, brick, silver and violet in ex. quisite tones are among the colors of beautiful new fabrics. e Aeystone Social Club .
