PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY THE BIRTH OF A NATION THE WHITE MAN'S ANSWER TO THE NEGRO AGITATOR'S CHALLENGE OF FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT. VOL. XXI. THE BIRTH OF A THE WHITE MAN'S ANSWER TOR'S CHALLENGE OF "The Birth of a Nation." "Amidst the mists with angry boasts, He thrusts his fists against the post And still insists he sees the ghosts." The white man looks upon himself as the fairest flower in the Lord's garden. He regards all other races his inferior. He has vowed and intends to keep all dark-skinned races in subjection, admitting none upon an equal footing with himself. To back up this intention he has at his command the numbers, the industries, the law, and the army and the navy. Among our race and dating from the Jamestown colony which was found in Virginia in 1607, we have the so called Negro aristocracy, who have paraded the country advising the Negro to "agitate; fight; fight for your rights," that they might have power and revel in white society with the masses of our people barred spectators. The word agitate is somewhat elastic in description but the way in which it is presented to us it appears in its worst forms: making trouble, keeping up a disturbance, and exciting friction between two races which otherwise could live in peace and harmony. The word "fight" is a challenge. In these days a man or a group of men can get all the "fight" they want and more, so when you make that challenge you must expect to be answered. The white man is answering that challenge, and how? In the South it is by Jim Crow laws; in the North it is by a well-directed system of diplomatic ostracism; on the stage with such plays as the "Clansman" and in motion pictures such as "The Birth of a Nation." Are we making a rejoinder by simply protesting his method of meeting the challenge of "fight; fight; fight" in indignation meetings with oratory and insolence. We boast of our education; we laud our scholars of Latin and Greek; we applaud our students in music, arts and science, and yet in many instances this education is so unbalanced that we failed to appreciate the virtues of such teachings. ```markdown ``` "The Birth of a Nation" is a wonder in science; it is a marval in art and stupendous as a motion picture production. It is an ingenious, thrilling, hair-raising, heart-rendering, passion-creating, pathetic appeal from the South to discredit the Negro and justify the Southerners in the extreme measures which they mete out to the Negroes; but it is overdrawn. It is one of the best illustrations that has ever come before the American public of how the Southern white man overrates and grossly misrepresents the conditions in the South to the disparagement of the American Negro. The courtships of Lynch and Gus are so in the extreme that no one could look upon such in real life. The court room and Southern legislature scenes are so obviously mockeries that they could not be viewed in any other light! The white villains with their Negro tools arming and exciting the freed masses of ignorant Negroes, the street riots and Ku Klux raiders, lynching and killing regardless of law and order, are all incidents which would naturally follow with the conditions after the civil war and the assassination of the emancipator and the only logical savior of the South in Abraham Lincoln It is impossible for us to conjecture what might have been the results had Lincoln lived and carried out his plan out his plan of "treating the South as if they had never been away." Since that has been impossible, it should not be a very difficult matter for us with our knowledge of industry, arts and science to look upon a production of this sort without stretching the imagination too far and view ourselves at a remote period of our history the tools of the white villian, emulating the white man's vice, villainy, and treachery. It reflects more upon the whites than it does upon the blacks. We admit everything that the agitators claim to the detriment of this picture, "The Birth of a Nation," but in appealing to the sense and reason of our race, we suggest that the period from which it is drawn is too far removed and the Negroes of today are such an effulgent contrast to the Negroes represented in the "Birth of a Nation" that the picture will have no damaging effect upon the intelligence of America. The picture teaches a strong lesson to our race. It shows us that we have our Silas Lynches of today. They are the blood and thun- DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. APRIL 24 1915 State Hist & Nat Hist Societ State House ANTS WHO ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO der agitators, with Negro characteristics but Indian judgment. The Negro journal and periodical that is advising the masses of our people to agitate, agitate; fight, fight, fight, without looking far enough ahead to see what the consequences will be, when the challenge is met, like Silas Lynch, they call the masses together and say, "My people fill these halls; they protest against your method of fighting back at us." But the only rejoinder which bears the Negro up in these emergencies comes from the National Negro Business League. Its existence of fifteen years tells a history of the intelligent use of Negro opportunity; the industry, thrift, and progress of a race, the most marvelous in the history of the world under like conditions and in so short a time. It is dotting pictures all over the United States, a fac-simile of the one in this issue in contradiction of the "Birth of a Nation.", It is agitating the race problem. It is producing the argument that means something and registering the real protest against the wrongs we suffer from race prejudice in the South. In truth, it is the organization for the advancement of Colored people.—Boston Reliance. SEGREGATION IS NOW IN THE U. S. ARMY SEGREGATION IS NOW IN THE U. S. ARMY Fort Leavenworth, Kan, April 13—The Negro United States soldiers stationed at this point are sore and sick under what they term the rankest and greatest humiliation which has been shown Negro soldiers since the Brownsville affair. For the first time in the history of the service segregation found its way into an army post, when the detachment commander issued orders that all Negro enlisted men with their families should occupy a part of the balcony separate from the white enlisted men and their families at the graduating exercise of the class in equitation held in the riding hall at Fort Leavenworth on April 1. It has always been the privilege of the enlisted men to attend army functions in this hall, and no discrimination has ever been shown because of color until this occasion The humiliation of the detachment commander's order is accentuated by the fact that the Negro soldiers are in charge of the riding hall, so far as its care goes, and the order also detailed Negro soldiers as ushers to segregate themselves. APPEAL TO WAR DEPARTMENT USELESS While it is well known that the War Department has never herefofore countenenced discrimination against any part of the military forces, the men feel that an appeal to the Secretary of War is useless Direct communication is imposs- ible, because of military law, and any communication through regular channels would bring down up on the men the vengeance of the race prejudice martinet who is in command of the detachment. This action of the detachment commander is looked upon as a gratuitous insult and humiliation, as the Negro soldiers have been stationed here since the organizing of the detachment and not a complaint of any sort has ever been registered against them. It is a matter of common report that the Negro soldiers are on the best terms with the white soldiers of the post and with the civilians of the city. The soldiers feel that they are being treated even worse than their comrades were at Brownville, since the authorities in that case based their action on the plea that it was a necessary disciplinary measure. That argument, however cannot obtain in this case. Similar occurrences reported from the Philippine stations have been pronounced without foundation, but the most casual investigation will prove that the soldiers at this station are discouraged and depressed because of the uncalled for humiliation which this segregation order has put upon them. The order was not issued until the day of the exercises, April 1, and it descended upon the men like a thunderboldt from a clear sky. The colored men are in Detachment No. 2. COLORED LAWYER MADE SPE CIAL JUDGE. Little Rock, Ark., April 17—Hon. Scipio A. Jones of this city was elected special judge of the municipal court in this city recently. On account of the fact that Judge Fred A. Isgrieg had filed suit against the attorney for the defendant in the case, he was disqualified and according to the provisions of the new municipal court law a special judge had to be selected by members of the bar in court and Mr. Jones was unanimously chosen. Considerable comment went the rounds of the city regarding the incident, especially among the white people and as a result of the numerous queries as to why white lawyers should select a Negro, Judge Isgrieg said: "I suppose all the white lawyers thought as I did, that for the trial of this particular case—a complaint among Negroes—Jones was peculiarly fitted by environment as well as marked ability as a lawyer, and in recognition of his reputation and standing in the community and in the bar of Little Rock, he was elected." Mr. Jones was admitted to the Circuit court of his county in 1889; to the Supreme court of his state in 1900 and to the Supreme court of the United States in 1905. He is chief counsel for the Mosaic Templars of America and state counsel for the Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias and several other fraternal organizations and a member of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES C. W. Brown, a colored lawyer of Elizabeth City, North Carolina recently passed the State Supreme Court' Examination. Philadelphia, Pa., April 14 — Charged with smuggling opium, George Speeler, 532 West South 13th street, was arrested last Saturday and held by the United States Court. Speeler is a West Indian and said to be very wealthy. He has earned the title of "Diamond George," because of the fact that he constantly wears gorgeous and expensive pins and rings set with diamonds. His home is furnished with barbaric splendor. Chicago, Ill., April 13 — The Auditorium Hotel management drew the color line against colored Catholics on April 7 when it refused to serve the colored women members of the Ladies Catholic Benevolent Association at the annual banquet held at the hotel. The colored branch, Order No. 67, of the L. C. B. A., was invited to attend the banquet, but on April 4 the hotel management notified the banquet committee that the colored order could not be served. Philadelphia, Pa., April 14. - On the plea that the constitutional guarantees of fair trial in South Carolina is a dead letter so far as Negroes are concerned a babeas corpus writ was sworn out on Monday in the Supreme Court in the behalf of Frederick Brown, a Negro, who has been held in this city for two year pending an attempt to extradite him to South Carolina. Brown is charged with a murder committed fifteen years ago, a white man being the victim. G. Edward Dickerson, attorney, is making the plea. Portland, Oregon, April 13 The State Legislature has made provision to place on the ballot at the next election a constitutional amendment formally repealing sections 5 and 6, Article 1, of the Constitution of the State of Oregon. These sections constitute the "Black Laws" of Oregon, which excluded from the State any Negro or mulatto, denying the right of suffrage to them regardless of place of birth or their citizenship. Both sections, of course, null and void, and of no effect for the reason that they conflict with the fundamental law but this action is taken to remove the offensive sections from the statute books. NO 35 Notes On Racial Progress FURNISHED BY THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. Bartow F. Powell, a farmer of Baker County, Georgia, recently sold 500 bales of cotton at 8 cents a pound.

ATHOUGHT FOR THE WEEK We had four pairs of shoes to be repaired the other day and we took them to a colored shoe shop. The shoemaker had caught up with his work and had nothing to do. We told him that we wanted a quick job done, so he inspected the shoes and declared that they were not worth fixing; that he could not fix them; and we thought what he said was true. But we happened to pass a white man's shop and so we asked him if the shoes were worth mending; he replied "yes" and in less two and a half hours he had the four pairs of shoes mended and the amount of two dollars in his pocket. When we passed back by the Negro shop he had locked up and and was standing out in the sun with his hands in his pockets waiting for a job, as he called it, and declaring that the times were dull and that he could get no work to do. The white man had plenty of work to do, was making money hard over fist, only two hundred yards away from the Negro, because he had "an eye to business"—Editorial, Charleston (S. C.) Messenger. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD. DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE. ABOUT THE WAR Conflicting reports of the battle at Celayo still are received; both Obregon and Villa claiming victory. Italy has 1,200,000 soldiers under arms and fully equipped, according to General Zupelli, minister of war. The British admiralty announced officially that the British submarine E-15 was destroyed in the Dardanelles by British picket boats. Two Turkish torpedo boat destroyers were blown up, says a Saloniki dispatch, while passing through a mine belt which Russian ships had succeeded in laying across the entrance to the Bosporus while the Turkish fleet was cruising in the Black sea. The British, as an offset to their success in destroying a Turkish torpedo boat, which attacked the transport Maniton off Chios, lost the submarine E-15, which, while carrying out a difficult reconnoissance in the Dardanelles mine field, ran aground on Keppez point, the crew being made prisoners. According to the Turkish report, seven of the crew are missing. Lord Kitchener's army of 1,500,000 men has begun its "big push" to drive the Germans out of Belgium and northern France, which has been promised in the early spring, according to dispatches from the front, supported by the London war office official report. Abandonment by the German general staff of plans for a general offensive in France is inferred from dispatches received at London. WESTERN Fire, started by lightning, caused a loss of $15,000 when the Barkhausen oil warehouses at Green Bay, Wis., were destroyed.

At Los Angeles, presiding Judge J. Perry Wood electrified auditors in the Superior Court by saying that Charles E. Sebastian, suspended chief of police, would have to go to trial on a charge of attempting to intimidate the grand jury, even if an indictment accusing him and Mrs. Lillie Pratt with subverting the morals of Edith Serkin "blows up." WASHINGTON President Wilson went to New York to attend the annual luncheon of the Associated Press. The appropriations for public building sites in Colorado that are to be held up are Canon City, $15,000; Monte Vista, $10,000; Montrose, $15,000; Sterling, $15,000. Washington society circles were surprised when it became known that William F. McCombs, chairman of the Democratic national committee, and Mrs. McCombs had separated. The Supreme Court held that the state of Georgia had denied Leo M. Frank no right under the federal constitution in sentencing him to death for the murder of Mary Phagan, an Atlanta factory girl. Mrs. Ida M. McNabb, thirty-seven, Escanab, Mich., and Wisconsin, won a $30,000 breach of promise verdict against John S. Kinney, seventy-eight, of the same state. Mrs. McNabb, a widow, sued for $500,000. President Wilson in an address at the annual luncheon of the Associated Press in New York gave a definite statement of his idea of true neutrality and of the duties that devolve upon America's connection with the European war. The need of self-possession, calmness and a judicial temperament on the part of the United States in the present world crisis was urged by President Wilson in a speech before the opening session of the twenty-fourth continental congress of the Daughters of the Revolution. The President said self-possession was the supreme test of a nation's mettle.

She carried a cargo of coal. Baron Augustus Julius Clemens Herbert de Reuter, managing director of Reuter's Telegraph Company, committed suicide at Reigate, Surrey. Grief over the death of his wife, who died recently, is believed to have been the reason. Rumors that the Alaska engineering commission had decided to throw open to settlement the sixty-acre terminal tract at Seward acquired by the government with the purchase of the Alaska Northern Railroad, caused a stumpede of squatters who have occupied almost all of the tract. Work that has been going on for several days preliminary to an attempt to raise the submarine F-4, submerged outside the Honolulu harbor since March 25, was halted because of bad weather. The hulk, which contains the bodies of twenty-one men, is resting at the place on the ocean floor to which it was towed after being raised twelve feet.

The ministerial fraternity need to give addresses from their various public life to hope our ministers will enter heartily in the much stirring and impressive appeals to their co-operative innumerable benefits from this worthy act, most invaluable, as the cleanliness of our premise of the breeding of disease germs, but rather man's city and everything around and about us. Take a wonderful results achieved by keeping clear action which tends to lend forgetfulness to our hope, therefore, that in accordance with self-response to the requests of our Board of Health, we engage in this manly action and in our little love that which is health, pure and simple, getting which is baneful in its tendency and deadly in it.

We have published a number of articles on Clean-Up Day which we thought ought to open the minds of our people as to the necessity of entertaining that grand quality, Cleanliness which is second to Godliness, but on our coming in contact with certain proofs which stare us in the face we cannot help from emphasing the need for better attention and obedience to this admirable adjunct to man's existence. The ministerial fraternity of our city having planned to give addresses from their various pulpits on this subject tomorrow, we hope our ministers will enter heartily in the spirit of the day and make such stirring and impressive appeals to their congregations as we are sure to reap innumerable benefits from this worthy act. Of interest to health, the most invaluable, as the cleanliness of our premises offers no contribution to the breeding of disease germs, but rather make attractive our homes, our city and everything around and about us. Taking a serious view of the great and wonderful results achieved by keeping clean, one cannot but denounce any action which tends to lend forgetfulness to this most desiring quality. We hope, therefore, that in accordance with self-preservation and in cheerful response to the requests of our Board of Health, sanitary authorities, etc., we will engage in this manly action and in our little sphere do all we can to improve that which is health, pure and simple, getting rid for all time of that dirt which is baneful in its tendency and deadly in its effect. COLORADO STATESMAN ENDORSES GOVERNOR CARLSON IN CIVIL SERVICE BILL. Governor Carlson is the governor of the state, elected by the people, and the power to approve or veto all bills resting in his hands as warranted by his official position must be respected. While provisions are made for referring bills after this power is brought into effect, yet it is more than annoying and humiliating when a political party, or a news Journal, or an individual will continue to hammer, pelt, burlesque, and cause to become angry the chief executive of a state who has the confidence of the majority of the people and who is doing his best to adjust matters to meet the demands of the public. Although some of our leading dailies declared before and on the day of election they were non-partisan, yet we find since the Republican party has been successful that there seems to be an avalanche of threats, ridicule, vituperation, etc., hurled on them by these dailies and the Democratic party. Now the bone of contention is the Civil Service question which meets the disapproval of the Democratic element because it interferes with a few subordinate office-holders. The act of the Legislature as regards the question is approved by the governor. This paper fully endorses the governor's action, and will stand as it always stood, for fair play; and if the threat of any newspaper, legislator or organization for referring the matter already passed be carried out, we will summon our courage, gather our forces and fighting under the banner of the real and only loyal political party in the United States of America—the Republican party—go on conquering to conquer. "Dead flies causeth the ointment to give an offensive odor." Which is better, to act honorably, giving way to peaceful and harmonious government, eventually having a sweet odor, or be a DEAD FLY? AN UNSHACKLED DENVER. "Know then thyself, presume not God to scan, The proper study of mankind is man."—Pope. with all her popularity must be placed in the have suffered from the lack of real men to us as her to be in such a serious condition at the will the people support men on their appeara y of the individual, so as to be relieved from t and build our city on that stability of action w the attention of the nation at large, placing a better sphere of usefulness. the month of May the people of Denver will Denver with all her popularity must be placed in the category of those cities that have suffered from the lack of real men to handle her affairs, which causes her to be in such a serious condition at the present time, that no longer will the people support men on their appearances, but make a thorough study of the individual, so as to be relieved from the burden hitherto borne by us and build our city on that stability of action which will command and attract the attention of the nation at large, placing us upon a higher plane and in a better sphere of usefulness. During the month of May the people of Denver will be called upon to elect two members of the Board of Education and three commissioners, one of property, another of social welfare, and an election commissioner. The former, generally called the school election, will be held Monday, 3rd; the latter, Tuesday, 18th, and our reason for reminding our colored voting element in this detailed manner is for the sole purpose of getting them thoroughly informed on these important events, which contribute to our betterment or our detriment. Our people must engage to the fullest in all educational interests, as our standing in this country and our advancement in civilization will only be recognized when we can compete as a whole favorably with other races. The laws of God and nature compel a difference between the educated and the uneducated and while there are some of us who have been deprived of such advantages, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, now that the means present themselves to accomplish the ends we should be particularly interested in these two elections which will be worth so much to us if we support men of broad shoulders who can bear the unjust criticisms of a public and carry out their plans beneficial to a community even at the cost of self-sacrifice and self-denial. The Colorado Statesman, in its advice to the people, makes it clear that the candidates for these positions must be studied, not from an angle, but as the mariner puts it, from all points of the compass. They must express their views and give their platforms of their belief in fair treatment for the people in common. We have not forgotten the treatment we received from some of our officials on the Education Board, neither can we condone the unmerited pressure brought to bear on us by the present Commissioner of Property, who forgets he is a public servant, and never hesitates to demonstrate his selfish action, which generally terminates in our people being victimized. If then, the only legal weapon to destroy such fakes and false agents is the FRANCHISE, then we impress you with the necessity of using it to the best of your ability, removing from our midst politically, men who have been experimenting with our sacred right, replacing them with others of the people who stand for fair play to all and favor to none. The time is short, therefore act now, today, right away. Interrogate your candidates individually or collectively and put the salient points that are affecting us squarely up to them, and if their replies are satisfactory then put your confidence in them and help to insure their election, if otherwise, consign them to the dust from whence they spring. Remember your obligation to truth, honesty and good will to all men. Remember all other races have pride in themselves. Let us be proud of ours and select for these public positions Men, Real Men—MEN who will in their leadership stand and fall by us, and prove to Denver, Colorado and the whole country that by our votes on May 3rd and 18th we are not a brainless people. t bent is quite opposed to the artistic; the poet's business is to express himself, let the consequences be what they may. Not only that, but he should be given all freedom and encouragement to express himself as he pleases. This is a line of talk we have all heard—a form of the "art for art's sake" cant of some three decade's ago. There is something grandiose in it, something immensely flattering to the artist, who thus declares himself superior to ordinary human and social considerations, a soul like a star, that dwells apart, a lofty being who condescends even in living among common mortals, and whose wings must on no account be clipped of a single feather. What is the common sense of the matter? If I were to comment on Mr. Yeats' remarks I should agree that the artist should not attempt or purpose to teach—that he must avoid the didactic attitude. A good many of Longfellow's and Bryant's and Holmes' poems were injured by a bitter tang of teacheriness. There is a certain opposition between the spirit of art and the spirit of instruction. This is a matter of mental posture. The two moods, like oil and water, do not mix. Furthermore, we as readers resent the teaching attitude in poets or artists. We subject ourselves willingly to their spell, we open our susceptible hearts to enjoy their beauty, and then if the poet suddenly begins preaching at us he breaks a tacit compact, takes an unwarranted liberty, begins hammering at an intellectual effect when we had rightly assumed his purpose was emotional. We tolerate didacticism in scientists, in pedagogues and in ministers. But we are frankly learners from the scientist; we were children under the pedagogue, and a great many of us are no longer any too ready to be absorptive and humble listeners to our fellow-mortals, the clergy. Granting, then, that the poet or artist should not attempt to be instructive, if we go a step further and ask, Should the poet or the artist be instructive? we can but answer, Of course! Should he teach us anything? The question is superfluous. If he is at all worth our while he can't help teaching us.

The bigger and nobler the man the greater his unconscious influence. in his practice. Women may not work so hard as men in money getting, but the rush of modern life affects them nevertheless. The old quiet life of women is gone. Social functions are carried out now under much the same conditions as business, and women with their more excitable nerves do, in fact, suffer more acutely than men. A day's shopping produces extreme nervous exhaustion. It is a mistake to suppose that work alone is responsible for nervous breakdown. Modern nervous tension is due to many causes—the increase of education, the haste and speed characteristic of every affair of life, the irritability resulting from dazzling lights, bewildering noise and the whirl of amusements. The result of natural fatigue is a lowering of sensibility, which passes away entirely after rest. But the overfatigue so common in the present time produces a state of irritable weakness which a night's repose fails to remove. A woman suffering in this way will find that her heart beats more quickly and weakly, that her breath is "short," her temperature slightly raised and that she has lost her ordinary strength and vigor. To add to these evils many busy women nowadays do not get enough sleep, and what sleep they have is often disturbed by city noises. To get the most out of life it is well to go slow. The only preventive and cure of overstrain is rest, and the woman who leads a tranquil life will really succeed in enjoying a maximum of its pleasures. be born. The period of helpless childhood soon passes into youth, and from youth unto the grave conflicting issues are drawn before the mind and a decision is imperative. To be responsible for our choices, to reckon with their consequences, and to render at least a wholesome account of time and talents—this commands the attention and the capabilities of divine personalities. No choice of life! But choice of sides in life—this is its glory or its shame. In view of such possibilities it is important to weigh well each new decision. Some are so freighted with immortal consequences that no earnest soul can view them save with the long-range vision of eternal valuations. These most vital issues are, first, the choice of eternal life; second, the choice of a life work, and, third, the choice of a life companion. This is their logical order if one would be certain of highest usefulness and happiness. treme weariness, for the authors and all sensible people know there is no such thing. I wonder why we go to so much trouble to describe things as "typical" when everyone who stops to reflect knows that this country still is in the formative stage and has not yet evolved a type of manhood or womanhood? It is no more true that there are "typical Americans" than that we are a branch of the "Anglo-Saxon" family. It would be far better if, instead of talking about a nonexistent "American type," we were to devote our energies to evolving a type that will be creditable to America.

The wedding reception was held at the residence of the groom's parents, 2658 Williams street, on Wednesday evening, April 21st, of which a full account will appear later. REDEEMER CHURCH ENTERTAINMENT. By the presence of a large and appreciative audience the efforts of the ladies of the Redeemer church were rewarded at their entertainment at East Turner hall on Wednesday evening last. The program, consisting of songs and recitations was well rendered, and the special feature, The Fashion Show, made a very favorable impression on the audience as it was numerously applauded. Special mention must be made of Mrs. Jones, wife of the assistant rector of St. John's cathedral, who contributed the recitations, as she gave a fine exhibition of her artistic temperament. The management offers its sincere thanks to those who kindly assisted in making the entertainment a success. FUNERAL NOTICES BY CAMMEL & CO., UNDERTAKERS. Baby Rose, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

Quite a privileged opportunity was offered Madam Jones when she was requested to sing at the Annual Missionary service of the Denver Episcopal churches, held last Sunday afternoon at St. John's cathedral. She rendered "Consider the Lilies of the Field," by Topliff, in a manner deserving of the commendation she received. The advantages for a good rendition were all that could be desired, the edifice possessing the best acoustics, then at the organ the noted musician, Pro. Henry Housely, who lent inspiration to the singer by a faultless execution, which materially catered to her success. This opportunity of singing before such a congregation and at a church that is accredited with having the leading choir in the West and one of the best in the country and receiving commendation from those present is another step in helping to break down the cruel bars of race hatred and another indisputable proof of the common brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. Madam Jones is at present helping in choir work at the church of the Redeemer, where she is the soloist. Her musical career will endear her to the hearts of the people and we hope a bright future and successful career in her profession.

Mrs. Lillian Hawkins-Jones was highly complimented for her singing, which was enjoyed by the congregation, from the numerous congratulations she received. Confirmation service will be held Tuesday evening, April 27th, at 8 o'clock. Bishop Brewster will perform the rite. THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. Twenty-fourth Avenue and Ogden Street—David E. Over, D. D., Minister. The singers advertising Tuskegee Institute appeared at Zion last Thursday night and rendered a magnificent program. The audience was more than delighted as these young men are masters in the art of singing and entertaining. Several concerts in the leading white churches will do much to make Tuskegee better known in this section. Mrs. F. Branton Tule, who spent 15 years in South Africa as a missionary worker, gave a splendid message at our evening service last Sunday. Her story of wonderful experiences in that land are interesting and touching and cannot fail to move an audience with warmer sympathy for the needs of our fatherland. Mrs. Tule will be heard Sunday afternoon, at 5 o'clock, at the People's Presbyterian church. The Bible Class work will be resumed after the suspension due to the revival meetings. The men will meet at the usual hour on Tuesday evening and the women on Thursday afternoon at 2:30. The Executive Board of the Western Association will convene at Pueblo next Tuesday with the Bethlehem church. All the members of the board are expected to be there. The rite of baptism will be administered at the close of both the morning and evening services Sunday. The pastor hopes that every candidate will be ready. SHORTER CHAPEL'S NOTES. Rev. Robert L. Pope, B. D., Pastor. Shorter is in the midst of a great revival and men and women are being led to decide for Christ at almost every service. Spiritual fervor and religious enthusiasm are running high at all the meetings. This was especially true of the Sunday services when Dr. Howard preached with such telling effect that his message will not soon be forgotten. His sermon topics tomorrow will be as follows: 11:00 a. m.—"Jesus As a Shepherd." 3:30 p. m.—"Jesus Among the Children." 8:00 p. m.—"Indecision." 8:00 p. h.—Inclusion Great Children's Mass Meeting Sunday, 3:30 p. m., in which the pastors, Sunday school superintendents, teachers and pupils of all our churches will co-operate, will be held with the hope of saving the children by wholesale. The difficulty which Christian workers experience in winning the grown-ups for Christ, not to say, keeping them in Christ, is forcing the Christian world to the conclusion that saving the children is not only the easiest way, but the most effective way of saving the world. In view of this fact we call upon every father and mother who has an unsaved child to bring him to this meeting tomorrow afternoon and let us help him into a better life. In our Easter rally the BLUES, under the leadership of Mrs. Mattie P. King, triumphed over the REDS by almost $100. Mrs. R. L. Pope, who has been on an extended visit to Florida and other points, is expected to return to the city, accompanied by Mrs. Elizabeth Crane, her mother, Friday of next week. Our pastor is all smiles and our entire congregation rejoices to have his helpmate return with her health greatly improved. A strong and well-arranged program has been gotten out by the local temperance workers, announcing a one-day institute of Shorter Thursday of next week. The meeting opens at 10 a.m. and is backed by the pastors and workers of the city. Being held just at this time when the whiskey interests are seeking to have set aside the prohibition enactment, this meeting should have special significance. Mothers' Day will be appropriately observed at Shorter this year. Special music for the occasion has been ordered and is in the hands of the choir.

Having made one of these flying trips when there is hardly a moment to spare and everything must be done within a certain time and the return trip must be taken advantage of, I went with lightning rapidity, taking in all I could and returned very favorably impressed with Boulder and its population. Everyone who has been to Boulder has the experience of the splendid Colorado sceneries that give you a glad reception, so that to offer a graphic description herein is not quite necessary at this time. Conditions in the shape of employment for our people appear to be brighter than heretofore, as I met at the Hotel Boulderado, one of the finest hostelries in the country, a number of our young men in the capacity of waiters. This hotel, under the management of Mr. Beatty and his valuable assistant rough Marks, offers the best that the visitor requires, and with a good and competent staff in the culinary department caters to the most fastidious appetite. The following comprise the corps of waiters: John Allen, Wm. Evans, Frederick Kinney, George Lewis and Arthur Lockhart, who in the performance of their duties give faithful and efficient service. The management is highly pleased with their services and commends them very much.

Bavaria has the world's record for beer drinking. Perhaps that accounts for a certain push button in the city of Nuremberg. On one of the many interesting little streets of that quaint old town there is a large, plain-looking building which serves as the downtown office and warehouse of a certain large brewery. In the wall near the door of this wholesale establishment there is a push button that evidently connects with an electric bell somewhere. Over it is a sign reading "Bierglocke," which translated literally into English means "Beer Bell"—evidently an arrangement for summoning more beer in case of emergency. Public Morality I have not the slightest regard for that statesmanship which is divorced from the morality which we say ought to guide us in our private life, which we gather for a nation as for individuals from the religion we profess. Time, persistent labor, fidelity to the great principles which we hold and believe in, will give us the victory over existing evils—John Bright. Wearing the Surplice Surpice is the Latin super-pelliculum, meaning that which is worn over a fur or fur jacket. As the jacket worn by the peasants, and for that matter by all classes, was apt to get dirty and unsightly, a kind of smock frock, that could be washed when necessary, was worn over it—and this was called the super-pelliculum, the surpice. Drink Water and Live a Century DRINK Water and Live a Century. A Roumanian scientist claims that anyone can live to be one hundred years old, barring accidents, if he drinks enough water. He declares he has discovered that old age is due to a decrease in the amount of water in the system and that Father Time may be checkmated by systematic water drinking during middle age. Inherited Weaknesses. When the causes of short life nowadays are counted up, it is found that most of the deaths are due to disease. Very few people die from old age. And the reason why people die from any one disease is that they have been weakened by other illnesses which they have had, or which have been vended down to them by their ancestors. Carrying It Too Far. An agreeable disposition is a nice thing, but some people are so easy to get along with that it's no fun to get along with them Blessing in Happiness. Happiness, like mercy, is twice blessed: it blesses those who are most intimately associated with it, and it blesses all those who see it, hear it, feel it, touch it, or breathe the same atmosphere.—Kate Douglas Wiggin.

A seven-pound shoulder of lamb, cut off both long ends and take the center, thick chunk of meat; place in pans over a good range fire. Cover closely and let it sear brown about twenty minutes. Take fork, turn it over, let it sear another twenty minutes on this side, then pour three or four cupulps hot water, salt, three large onions. Cover closely again, letting it simmer. Loosen the meat from the bottom of pan before adding water. At the end of an hour more add three large carrots in long strips. Cover for half an hour more, then add three large parsnips cut in strips and cover again for half an hour longer, when your roast of meat and vegetables will be done. Celery can go into this with parsnips also. This is all done on top of the stove. Serve with potatoes or simply the vegetables in the pan. Next day take the two long, swinging ends of the lamb shoulder that you had put away from the roast part, put in soup kettle or deep stewpan, with celery leaves if you have it. Boil it. Boil a full hour in salted water, add a head of cabbage soaked in cold water over night, to crisp it; pepper it at this stage of the cooking. Boil another full hour. Peel potatoes, boil twenty minutes in separate kettle, pour on water, shake gently until mealy and serve with your lamb and cabbage. Do not have too much water on your lamb, for the cabbage throws off much water. Cover all closely while boiling. This is the only good way to get all that is possible out of a shoulder of lamb and have tasty meals. Skim off fat with cabbage dinner, as those two long swinging ends have more fat than one would wish to eat. Reserve that for soapmaking. TO WASH WOOL ARTICLES Especial Care I₅ Required if One Would Have the Material Last Any Length of Time. Where there are small children articles of wool are constantly in use, and therefore require washing, and unless it is properly done they will be ruined. If this simple plan is followed success is sure: Make a fairly hot suds with good quality white soap; immerse the piece; allow it to soak for half an hour, then swish and pat it around. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible and repeat the process; if it does not look perfectly clean do it a third time. Rinse it through clear warm water until all traces of soap are gone; squeeze it, then place it on a towel; twist the towel tight to get out more water; put a clean towel in a large agate pan or a china bowl; place the article lightly upon it; put all in a warm (not hot) oven; leave the door open. Fluff it up occasionally by turning it over until perfectly dry. The washed piece should look almost like new. Never rub crocheted or knitted wool articles, as it stretches them; to hang them up also pulls them out of shape; done as above they will not be hurt in either way. Baby sacks should be laid in shape on the towel. Lamb Flank Roasts Buy two pieces of lamb flanks which will weigh about three pounds and cost from five to eight cents a pound. Make bread dressing, as for chicken. Place four or five pieces of twine on the table and lay one piece of flank on the twine, spread the dressing over the meat and place the other on top, then tie each piece of twine around the whole to keep them together and hold in shape. Put in the roasting pan, salt and dredge with flour. Bake two hours. This makes a very pretty and delicious roast, large enough for six people, and also excellent cold. Chain Lightning Cake Here is something easy as well as good for the busy housewives: One and one-half cupfult flour, one cupful sugar, two teaspoonfuls baking powder, speck salt, two eggs, one-quarter cupful melted butter, milk and one teaspoonful vanilla. Mix and sift dry ingredients together. Melt enough butter to make one-quarter cupful, add eggs whole and enough milk to fill the cup. Add to dry ingredients. Add vanilla and beat. Bake 30 to 40 minutes. To Use Cheap Cuts of Beefsteak. To Use Cheap Cuts or Beersteak. Cut into pieces small enough to serve, roll in egg, cracker crumbs. Have good dripping or butter in frying pan and when smoking hot put in the pieces of steak, and sear well on both sides. As fast as ready put into the steamer, then add the gravy and a little hot water if needed. Let steam about three hours, then add one can peas. As soon as they are hot it is ready to serve. This will be found to be as tender as chicken. Salt Fish. Soak salted white fish over night. Dry, dip in flour and fry a crisp brown. Take two tablespoonfuls flour, one tablespoonful butter, one-half teaspoonful salt and one pint sweet milk, and make a smooth white sauce. Just before serving add one teaspoonful vinegar and one tablespoonful horseradish. Pour over the fish and serve. Easy Way to Skin Sausages. A very easy and quick way to skin sausages is to immerse them for a second or two in cold water. NEWS and GOSSIP of WASHINGTON President Wilson, Believing in Slang, Said "Rats" WASHINGTON.—Though the diction of President Wilson is elegance itself, he is not so bide-bound in his exactions of the refinements of it as to be intolerant to the lapses in style called slang. He frequently uses it with president really back of the document?" he was asked. "Oh, rats," was his sententious reply. Now, in cold type it looks as if the president was not observing the presidential proprieties in dignity. But the president conducts himself ever in such a manner that his dignity is never in question. There is a wonderful graciousness of manner in him and an ever prevailing smile on his face and a merry twinkle in his eyes, so as to pass as natural and consonant with the utmost requirements of the dignity of his station whatever he utters, though couched in language which on other lips would be called vulgar. These sallies and departures of the president are sure to be followed by a hearty laugh, which it was intended they should occasion. In short, the president will laugh a question or a proposal out of court. A good story, of which the president has a great store, or a sharp word in slang is the instrumental used. Uncle Sam Searches the World for New Fruits FROM the office of information of the department of agriculture comes the delectable announcement that a smoothstone peach has been brought from China and is to be used to improve our commercial fruit of the same dustry of the United States government never make announcement of the addition of new fruits, plants and flowers to the American field until their successful growth has been proved. The government employs explorers to go into lands new and old for the purpose of finding valuable trees and plants which can be added to the native growths of the United States. The explorer must know his own country well, for in his work of discovery he must bear in mind just what section of the homeland it is which resembles the region in which his work is being done. These explorers are a hardy lot, and their work is at times dangerous. They delight in it, apparently, and always are ready to undertake journeyings into new fields, no matter how forbidden. Comparatively little is known of Uncle Sam's bureau of plant industry. Its work, however, is apparent all over the United States. Treasures in Crypt and Vaults Under the Capitol THERE are all kinds of treasures in the crypt and vaults under the capitol rotunda, but during the last few years many of them have been taken out in order to make space. Immediately under the central dome is the large masonry of the base walls of the building and designed as a tomb for the immortal Washington, but other influences of a more sentimental nature defeated the object. In an adjoining vaulted room the plaster cast of Cranford's "Goddess of Liberty," from which Clarke Mills cast the bronze figure that surmounts the dome of the capitol, was kept for years. In another room are the plaster statues of Alexander Hamilton, Thomas H. Benton and also a sitting figure of Hamilton by the artist Stone. In various portions of the crypt are paintings of large size in boxes waiting for their owners to claim them. Among them are the "First Nebraska Homestead," by a lady who desired to present it to the government; "Rescue of Greely," by Operti, and "Farthest North," the subject of which is two of Greely's men taking observations. Washington Has a Thousand-Dollar-a-Week Hole NO one does justice to a visit to Washington who does not take a long look at the huge crater which is the hole where once stood the famous Arlington hotel. This was torn down four years ago to make room for a modern free building, but it is understood that everything is off again and the loss of more fortunes seems in sight. Charles P. Taft, brother of former President Taft, having lost about $200,000. The hole is so deep that nothing can be done with it except to provide a foundation for a great structure, and as matters now stand the owners of the hole pay $1,000 a week in interest and taxes. It is the costliest hole in Washington, and has become one of the sights of the city. On this land formerly used to stand the home of Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts. Hard by is Lafayette square and near is the White House. Two prominent clubs look right into the hole from their windows. Shored up are the grounds and the walls of a large private house, which used formerly to be the British embassy, in which Bulwer-Lytton wrote "Lautile."

This was torn down four hotel, to be up by the 1913 inauguration, but the hotel has gone no further than down about forty feet into the ground. An immense fortune has been lost in the speculation so far. While construction was begun, the plans fell through, because the capital required was not raised in toto. Everything went under the creditors' hammer a year ago, and what had cost about $1,600,000 was sold for half that sum.

"But, dear, 16 shillings a day for the room!" "War rates. What'd you expect?" with a shrug. were always high.

Shampooing for "Listen to this," and Helen read aloud a notice on the door: "Owing to the shortage of help, guests will be expected to make up their own beds until further notice." "Good stuff!" chuckled Warren. "Do 'em good to make 'em work. Here's another," going over to a sign by the washstand: "Guests will kindly use as few towels as possible. Laundries are now running only part time and deliveries are uncertain." "Better go slow on your own laundry, too. Now let's wash up and get down to breakfast. Ring for some hot water, there." Helen started to touch the button by the door, but over it was still another typewritten notice: "Please make as few calls on the attendants as possible. The hotel is now being run with less than half its former staff." "But, dear, we must have hot water. I feel positively grimy. That was the filthiest train!" "Punch away there! I want hot water to shave. Get me out a clean collar, will you?" Warren unstrapped the suit cases, and Helen began taking out the most needed things. "Dear, I'm going to give you this side of the dresser—this small drawer and the bottom one. Here's your toothbrush and shaving soap. I'll put them on this end of the washstand." It was the inevitable long English washstand with the two massive bowls and pitchers. A single basin with running water would have been more convenient than all this double array, but their previous trip had reconciled Helen to the lack of English baths and running water. "Oh, these shelves are thick with dust!" as she started to put some things into the wardrobe. "Hold on there! Don't take that towel! What'd that sign say?" Helen put back the towel and wiped off the shelves with some crumpled tissue paper from her trunk. The maid brought the hot water, and Warren, who could shave with astonishing rapidity, was soon ready. "Dear, don't wait for me; you go on down and order the breakfast." "Nothing doing—we're going down together," decisively. "Come on," rattling the doorknob; "you lock good enough." Helen thrust in a few more hairpins, her fingers nervously incapable under Warren's impatient glare. "Got the key?" They went down the broad red-carved hall to the cage-like "lift." "That room's closed, sir," a page informed them as they crossed the rotunda to the main dining room. "The breakfast room's just beyond." Even the breakfast room had a cheerless, deserted air. A waiter ran forward eagerly and seated them at a table by the window. "Let's see your breakfast card," demanded Warren. "We don't have any now, sir." We're serving only one breakfast—coffee, bacon and eggs, toast and marmalade." "How much?" "Five shillings, sir." "That's a hold-up," growled Warren, "but bring it along." "Five shillings," exclaimed Helen, "for just coffee and eggs? Why that's—" "Now cut all that!" savagely. "Make up your mind they're going to soak us right and left. We're here, and we've got to eat. No use putting up a howl every meal," and Warren retired behind the war news of the London Times. When the breakfast was served, he threw down the paper and peered frowningly into the coffee pot. "Can't get a decent cup of coffee in England, "pouring out the black chicory mixture. But this disgruntled mood was somewhat mollified by the delicious Wiltshire bacon and the delicately flavored English eggs. "I'll not have time to go back to the room," when they left the table. "Now what're you going to do today? Got any English money?" "Why, yes, dear, you gave me three pounds on the train." "Well, take care of yourself. I'll meet you here about seven." Helen watched him hurry out through the revolving doors. Vaguely depressed, she went back to the room alone. The next hour she spent in unpacking, in going over her clothes which needed attention after the week on the steamer. There was a button off her shoe, a rip in a too narrow skirt, and a spot on Warren's dinner coat. Then she made a list of the soiled clothes for the laundry. She would look up one outside; hotel laundries were always high. Her handkerchiefs and gloves she washed out in the basin and hung about the room. Then came the dreaded task of washing her hair, which was clinging and sticky from the sea air. On the wall by the telephone was the sign: Ladies' hair dressing parlor on first boor. Shampooing four shillings; facial massage, five shillings; manicuring, two shillings. But much as Helen hated to wash her own hair, she felt that she should not spend four shillings to have it done. In her own bedroom, with the spray and every convenience, it was hard enough, but here, without even running water, she found it a torturous process. Every time she changed the water she feared the heavy bowl would slip from her soapy hands. When they were here before Warren had dropped one on the slop jar. She still had visions of that crashing catastrophe. Stooping over always made her head ache, and when she straightened up from the final rinsing water, she was sick and dizzy. The mirror reflected her pale face and dripping, stringy hair. Why did the English invariably place the dresser in front of the window? The glaring light from the unshaded upper sash would make anyone look hideous. With a sudden resentful strength she shoved the dresser from before the window, toppling over a bottle of toilet water. She could have cried with sheer irritability. It was not often that Helen gave way to a temper, but now her eyes filled with angry tears. Her head throbbed—she was wretched! That her first day in London should be spent like this! All the way over she had wondered what changes the war had made in the streets and shops. She had planned her first excursion through Piccadilly and up Oxford street. And now she had wasted the morning fussing over her clothes and hair. She had given herself a sick headache and spoiled the whole day. A wad of paper lay on the rug before her. It had served as a wedge to tip forward the mirror, and had dropped out when she moved the dresser. As she picked it up to replace it, she caught the headlines: Reads her husband's name among those killed, then wanders through streets insane. Mrs. W. F. Edwards of 42 Buckingham road, was found wandering the streets in a pititable condition. Her husband, a lieutenant in the Third lancers, was killed at the siege of—The rest was torn off. With a rush there came to Helen the realization of her own petty irritability. Her eyes were still wet with temperish tears. She had worked herself up—over what? How much she had! How deeply grateful she ought to be—if only because Warren was coming back to her at seven! She thought of this woman, of the countless women, to whom seven o'clock was now an hour of anguish. How insignificant all other worries would seem to them—if only their husbands were home at seven! From outside came the sudden jangling notes of a hurdy-gurdy. The air was "God Save the King." Helen looked down to the street below where a weatherbeaten old woman was grinding out the tune from an organ draped with an English flag. Unmindful of her wet hair, Helen caught up her purse and stepped out on the narrow balcony. The woman, who kept an appraising upward glance on the windows, saw her and hopefully held out her apron. Helen had nothing smaller than a shilling, but she threw it down. She had saved four shillings by washing her hair—and perhaps this old woman had a husband in the war! As she stepped back through the window it dawned upon her that the woman's husband, if she had one, would be too old for the war. She was merely a professional organ grinder—a foreign one, too, and the flag-draped organ was but a clever appeal. Helen's eyes met their amused reflection in the mirror. How foolishly emotional she was! A few moments before she had been wretched because she had seen herself with straggling hair, in an unbecoming light. Then she had been swept to an emotional height by a torn newspaper item. And now— Impatiently she shook back her hair. She would stop dissecting her emotions and waste no more of the day. It was just two, her hair was almost dry, her headache better. She would still have time to see something of the London streets and shops before seven. Woes of the Verse-Carpenters.

INTERESTING ITEMS FROM THE CITIES "Virginia Olive Oil" That Roused Dry Tennessee NASHVILLE, TENN.—That bromide expression of earnestness and satisfaction, "Ah! That's good whisky; it tastes so rich and oily;" not unusual when heard in public places where liquor is dispensed in wet states, no that had in some mysterious way sprung a leak. Applying his nose to the hole in the can, he became solemnly impressed with the fact that, instead of containing "pure olive oil," the contents were made up wholly of brandy. The inspector brought the can to Nashville and turned it over to District Attorney Lee Douglas. The can reached the town through the medium of the parcel post, and was branded "Virginia Olive Oil, Made From Selected Olives," and guaranteed under the pure food act. Just how long the manufacturer has been doing an "olive oil" business in this state is, of course, not known, but it is positively known that there was no oil in this particular can. Neither is it known as a matter beyond proof that the brandy is "oily," for none of the officials in the federal building was willing to sample the stuff, though all of them expressed a desire to take a sniff at the bunghole just to satisfy themselves that the contents had the same old smell that it used to have before state-wide prohibition went into effect. According to their combined testimony, there was no reason to doubt it, and it was unhesitatingly pronounced brandy, or whisky with a brandy odor.

Of a sudden there was a swift psychic change met this man who now stands at my side as my codefendant. He said his name was Frank Schaefer. In response to a question I informed him I had come here to look for work. "‘Work?’ said he. ‘My boy, you need not work. Your face is your fortune. It is the saddest face in the world. Have you never noticed that people are sad and gloomy when you are about?’ “So I went with Schaefer. He bought some packages of court plaster and sent me through an office building. The packages had cost less than a dime a dozen. I had no difficulty in disposing of them at ten cents each. I did not even have to speak.

Vanderhuizen, the big Dutchman, stepped aboard the downcountry train from Kimberley, South Africa, en route for Cape Town. He laid his suit case carelessly upon the rack, placed his hand upon his breast to make sure that the package for which he had risked many years of freedom, was there, and sat down in a seat, looking out at the desert landscape. At Boshof a stranger came into the traia, looked keenly about him, and finally, spotting Vanderhuizen, seated himself opposite him. Vanderhuizen recognized him as a man named James, from Kimberley also; he had once been a mine guard, but had been dismissed for some dishonesty. He had contrived in some way to avoid the clutches of the law, always severe on buyers of diamonds from the native quarrymen. Vanderhuizen nodded surily. James was the last person in the world that he wanted to see just then. James smiled sardonically. "Come into the smoker, Van," he said, "and we can discuss business." Vanderhuizen uttered an oath and his hand stole in a betraying manner to the package inside his coat. He saw James' eyes follow the movement and realized that he was trapped. Sullenly he arose and accompanied him. "Well?" he growled, as they took their places in the empty smoker. "Halves!" said James, laconically. "I'm fly." "Curse you!" said Vanderhuizen. "It's a lucky thing you met me," returned James, quietly. "Do you know Thompson of the Kimberley police?" "What of him?" "He's in the next compartment. He's undoubtedly waiting to arrest you as A "Hand Over the Bag!" soon as you step off the train. If he can get you to Cape Town without doing so, he will save himself a lot of trouble. That's why I came—I got wind of the affair." The big Dutchman scowled fearfully. Seven years on the breakwater for illicit diamond buying was the last thing in the world that he wanted. And the stones in his breast pocket were worth twelve thousand pounds anywhere. "What's the game?" he demanded. "Halves?" questioned James. "I suppose so." "I've telegraphed for two saddle horses to wait at Klipfontein station. We'll get there at dark. We can make a dash from the train, mount and be away before Thompson spots us. The saddle-bags are loaded with a week's food. In three days we can cross the desert to Khama's Land, where we can pick up an ox wagon and make our way into Johannesburg. Thompson will be clean off the scent. It will take him a couple of hours to find a horse, and then he won't know for sure that we are going to Khama's Land." "I'm with you," replied Vanderhuizen, curly. At Klipfontein the program was carried out. As the train drew, shrieking, up to the station, the confederates leaped from the carriage. At the rear of the platform a native man was waiting with two saddle horses, tough little Basuto ponies, of the kind that would carry their loads where no European horse could go. Two leaps into the saddles, two pulls at the reins, and the thieves were padding quickly through the single street of the settlement and out into the desert. They looked back when they reached the sand. In the distance they saw a crowd gathered about a tall man who was making futile efforts to strike a quick bargain for a horse. They rode till evening. When the moon came up they were alone upon the desert. They dismounted, made a fire from the scanty thorn scrub, and cooked some of the meat in James' saddle bags. On either side of the saddle hung a large water bag, the mois ture from which, evaporating, kept the contents cold as spring water. They watered the horses scantily. They watched by turns and started out at dawn. It was ten miles to the nearest water pool, where the water bags were to be refilled. "I believe we've missed the pool," said James, toward noon. All around them was the shimmering desert, devoid now even of thorn scrub. The horses panted from the heat. James gave them the last of the water. "We'll strike another water hole before dark," he said to his companion. But they did not strike the water hole, and by sunset the horses were unable to proceed farther. James' was down, and Vanderhuizen's stood trembling, and evidently on its last legs. "We had better press on afoot," said James. "I know there is a water hole at the foot of the mountains." And he pointed to where the blue outlines of a distant range rose against the cloudless sky. He removed his saddle bags and slung them across his shoulders, and the two men proceeded wearily. James lagged behind Vanderhuizen, who, tortured by thirst, walked like a man in a nightmare. On they went, hour after hour, till suddenly the big Dutchman went down. "You'd best leave me; I'm done for," he murmured. James set down his saddle bags, opened them, and pulled out a bottle of water. He held it in the air. Vanderhuizen leaped to his feet, to find himself looking down the muzzle of a revolver. "Hand' over the bag," said James, briefly. "You scoundrel!" shouted Vanderhuizen, through his swollen lips. "This bottle for your half." James pursued. "And—I know where to find the water hole." Vanderhuizen glared at him; then, with a gesture of despair, he took the precious bag from his breast and tossed it to the other. For a man will give all that he has to save his life. Next moment Vanderhuizen had knocked the head off the bottle and was gulping down the life-giving fluid. James watched him sardonicly. "You will find the water hole half a mile distant, at the foot of that elevation," he said, indicating a hummock in the sand. And he watched Vanderhuizen stagger away. He went back to the horses and, knocking the heads off the other bottles, poured the contents down their throats. The animals, revived, staggered to their feet. His own horse was done for, but Vanderhuizen's seemed capable of carrying him to his destination—another water hole along the wagon route across the desert, which he knew like a book. He clasped the diamonds to his breast as he rode, and chuckled. The scheme had been an excellent one and had worked out better than he could have expected. He had heard in Kimberley, by the merest chance, that Vanderhuizen intended to go down country. He himself had never dared to purchase diamonds from the natives, but he knew Vanderhuizen's reputation as a successful and daring thief, and it had occurred to him that there was a splendid opportunity of compelling the man to share his plunder with him. The advent upon the scene of Inspector Thompson had been a little disconcerting; but the same chance which had told him of Vanderhuizen's maneuver had given him information that the police were on the man's trail. He had then telegraphed to Kliptontein for the two horses—and everything had gone like clockwork. It was no wonder that he chuckled. Looking back he could see the horse still lying upon the sand, and Vanderhuizen, a tiny figure under the moon, marching painfully back. His own plans could not fall him. He would strike the water hole, refresh himself and his steed, and then proceed in a leisurely manner toward the wagon path. At last he reached the place. He shackled his horse to a torn tree and climbed the ascent toward the hollow crater in which lay the pond. But when he reached the summit he found himself staring down into a dry mud hole. The water had drilled up under the influence of the hot sun and an unusually long dry season. For a few minutes he could not believe his eyes. Then he lost his self control. He would have to go back to Vanderhulizen. And his bottles were empty. He was parched with thirst, and his animal was incapable of proceeding farther. For hours he raved beside the water hole, clenching his fists and calling down curses upon his luck. He spread the diamonds in a little heap before him and looked at the dull pebbles, each one worth a little lake of wine. And for all these he could not get so much water as would wet his lips. "I'll go back then—back to Vanderhulizen," he muttered, and flung himself upon the rocks. "When I am rested. . . ." But nature, outraged, revenged herself upon him by drawing down his eyelids, and he slept profoundly. "Get up. James!" He started to his feet. The sun was high in the sky. Before him stood Vanderhuizen and—Inspector Thompson. "I want you, James," said the inspector, fingering the bag of diamonds, which he had taken from beside the sleeping man. "I thought Vanderhuizen was the man I was after, but—well, you understand. Your horse is dead, but you won't mind a little walk of twenty-five miles or so? You see, we've got plenty of water."

Many of these coats have been designed this season, and they have been enthusiastically welcomed. They are shown in tans, grays, black and white mixtures, and in checks. In these neutral colors they go well with frocks or skirts in any color. One of the newest and smartest of coats of this kind is shown in the picture. It is cut with almost straight lines at the front and back and trimmed in braid and buttons with a crisp military precision. At each side, a little below the waist line, there is an insert of fan plaits, giving the desired flare, and the double turnover collar, set on at the back, is another concession to demands of the vogue. The skirt to match is plain, fitted about the hips and with a very conservative flare from hip line to bottom edge. It is a little longer than ankle length, but short enough to be a correct tailored model. In nearly all coats of this kind the fit is vague, the waist line either Headwear for All Now that the return of spring lures everyone to the out-of-doors, devotees of motoring are happily busy getting together their "motor togs." Coats and headwear for rain-or-shine driving must be considered from every point of view, and let no one think that becomingness is not as important in motor apparel as in any other. But this is a hint hardly needed for the buyer of headwear. Women are accustomed to placing becomingness as the paramount essential when choosing any kind of millinery. In the choice of motor hats there is so great a range this spring that one can afford to be exacting and to look until the very best model is found. Two motor bonnets are pictured here that may be depended upon for good service. They are made of silk. One of them boasts a brim and is quite like a hat in shape. It is developed in pongee with brim-rever turning up at the back over the folded-over crown. A silk cord and fan of fringed braid supply the decoration and these are supplied in any color demanded. are supplied in any color demanded. The bonnet at the left of the picture is made in changeable taffeta piped with a dark color in the same silk. raised above or dropped below the normal, and only a suggestion, at most. In many of them lines are perfectly straight or show a gradual flare from the shoulders down. New Towels. Some of the newest Turkish towels have an initial quite four or five inches long, worked in French knots at the left of the towel, above the border, instead of in the center, as is usually done. For a man's use towels worked with these large letters are very good looking. Among the newest designs for small guest towels is one of a fine damask of a very small pattern without a woven border. The latter is hemstitched on and consists of an inch-wide hem of colored linen, pink or blue. The initial may be embroidered in white on the hem or worked on the towel itself in a color to correspond with the hem. Separate Coats. Separate coats are receiving a great deal of attention; motor coats continue to be full length or seven-eighths. Some of the newer coats are of uneven length. -Weather Motoring The "body" possessed by this silk makes it especially well suited to sort crowns. Also, in the better grade, it has fine resisting qualities against dampness, and sheds dust readily. This bounter is finished with broad ribbon ties in a soft weave that will not crush. A buckle, made of the silk used in the pipings, over a foundation of buckram, and two flat buttons of the same, are used for trimming. Many of the new veils are large squares of chiffon hemmed all around. Among them is a novelty showing a square insert of net or lace in the chiffon at one side. This is placed over the face, when the veil is not needed for actual protection, and allows the wearer to see clearly. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Spring Waists. Spring waists are both novel and wearable. The most noticeable features are the continued use of high collars and the return of jabots and ruffles. That the jabot has returned is good news, for never did women look more attractive than when they wore jabots and ruffles of crisp linen and lace.—Vogue.
