(Signed) HORACE S. GRAVES, St. Paul A. M. E, Chureh, 2nd and Center Sts. EDITOR'S OBSERVATION IN MIS SOURI TOWNS. In writing these observations one does not have the time in each town to do justice, while those we write to the public, those we write to our mother and you must remember that we cannot and do not meet all the people Arriving in Kirksville, the county seat of Warren county; this little town is made famous by being the home of the author, James Patterson and I might say that from all the schools of a similar nature grew. Kirksville is a town of about 6,000 people, 1,000 colored. Mr. L. A. Embanks is one of the substantial and pioneer people. He owns first-class chairs for the president, a reliable man. Mr. Richardson is a shoemaker and has been there many years. Mr. Coursey's folks are race people. Mr. H. Johnson is doing well. Mrs. Bledsoe of our city was here visitation her mother. She at one time lived here and still owns property here. Our next stop was at Mason City where the Western college is located. It is the oldest Christian institution in the west for the education of colorful children and is conducted under a licensed veterin educator, Prof. Enos Larkin Scruggs, as its president. Ye editor had the pleasure of spending a few hours with the president at his beautiful home overlooking the campus, where he have a beautiful site their buildings are located. This is the greatest need of the college—money to build new modern buildings with equipment to accommodate the over-crowded school. Those who have the money and are generously willing to pay for the location is ideal, comprising 12 acres of land overlooking the city. See their advertisement elsewhere. Later we will issue a special edition with this school illustrated. Macon University has 2,000 and about 2,000 colleges. There are two colored churches—Baptist and Methodist. Rev. E. D. Green has charge of the former and is an able young man. Mr. E. C.

This is a town of about 1,200 population and about 200 colored. There are no colored people in business except the shop. Scott who owns a black smith shop and a McDonald's White has a restaurant and Dr. Peaky conducts a hack line. He is a physician and has been there a number of years and is a graduate of Maharashtra medical college at Nashville, Tenn. He is the key business in my judgment. It is a railroad town and rather wild. Excursions carry the people away every Sunday. There are two colored churches the Methodist and the Baptist. He key business — Mr. A. Stapleton is an engineer, having worked for one employer for a number of years. Thus he proves that honesty, integrity and punctuality have won the respect of every body race, he had been bit by other colored men coming through getting money for some paper in advance, then not sending the paper. Consequently it was little difficult for ye editor to convince him in favour of Vaughn is principal of school and he is a good race man, saving his money and investing it judicially. He has a lovely home of five acres in the city of Brooks. B Brooks is a teacher in the public school. She is a great church worker and a very useful lady in this community. Five hours stop was in Huntville, the capital of Warren. Here we find him, the colored people very industrious and prosperous. Most of them are armed, and many are homes. While its principal industry is the manufacture, yet they are a quiet class of people. There are two churches, the M. E. and the Baptist. The latter is presided over by Rev. G. C. Chinn, who is an author and a teacher and an educator, Miss Delia E. Henderson Prof. Rufus Logan of Columbia, Mo. The latter is principal of the school. He is a coming young man, a graduate from the Lincoln Institute, and a graduate of the University of World, one of the best newspapers in Missouri. He is a cousin to Mrs. J. H. Shepard of this city.

A New York girl who after being filted vowed that she would find a husband within a month got him in fifteen days. She must understand, however, that she has not broken any records. The chorus girl who after being married to an old gentleman a year became a widow with a fortune of $5,000,000 is probably convinced that skill in the matter of choosing is more important than luck. If the spots on the sun are responsible for the heat, as some of the scientific gentlemen assure us, a total eclipse of the sun ought to be about the hottest proposition that ever came over the weather pike. Magazine writers are discussing this question: "Is it a sacrifice to take great office?" It may be, but if it is, it only shows how self-sacrificing the average American can be when called upon to accept a public trust to which there is attached a salary. Two wealthy Pittsburgh families have gone to law over a game rooster that is owned by one of them and has disturbed the other by early morning crowing. If they don't watch out they may not have enough left when the lawyers get through with them to buy titled husbands for their daughters. Paterson, N. J., has offered $2,000 for her lost mayor. This high price is explained by the fact that he took $100,000. If the finder returns the money, they will let the mayor go. A correspondent queries the New York Sun as follows: "Do you know any place in this country where a poor gentleman can spend his vacation?" As a gentleman he would be welcomed anywhere, but, having indicated that he is somewhat short on the price, we fear that he will not be overwhelmed with invitations. Statistics show that the birth rate in America is slowly decreasing. What's the reason the stork? Hey, the proud fathers are forgetting to tip him property? THE BLOODHOUNDS ARE USED Authorities Believe Professionals Lead Raids-Store of Maloy Mercantile Company at Maloy is Broken Into Second Time Within a Month Harlan, Ia., Aug. 31.—Shelby county has been much infested with burglars lately. Petty burglaries have been committed at Tennant, Panama, Portsmouth, Jacksonville, Botna, and elsewhere. It is believed that part of the work has been done by local talent, and a good deal of it by outside operators. Bloodhounds have been used in some cases, and in one or two instances have been of service in hitting the trunk. Bloodhouses have been in parts of the county. Officers expect soon to catch some of the light-fingered craft and make an example of them. Maloy Store Robbed. Malloy Store 310. The Maloy store, Maloy, 310. The Maloy mercantile store was broken into Tuesday night. Entrance was effected by taking out a glass on the west side of the building, which was carefully laid on the grass. The loss cannot yet be accurately estimated, as stock of hats, shoes, floor, clothing, and other items. A small pair of pincers were found under the counter, and the cash drawer was demolished. This is the second time in a month that the mercantile company has suffered loss by robbery. No clue has yet been found. Grief in Manchester. Manchester, a., Aug. 31. Thieves are angry at Manchester, a number of residents on the west side having been touched up for small articles, the total amount of which comes to quite a tidy sum. At the home of George Slack, a good harness and bridlerid, valued at $20, were taken, and at the home of Rev. James Hunt, a small hand sachtel contain a number of gospel hymn books were missing yesterday morning. The books were found at the barn of a neighbor who returned them to Mr. Caul before that gentleman knew they had been stolen. An attempt was also made to retrieve the premises of John Provan, but the thieves we3] evidently frightened away before they accomplished their purpose. A bad gang of thieves who had terrorized residents of the west side for a number of years was broken up. They are now in the penitentiary at Anamola. Local officers are working on a clue whereby they expect to apprehend the guilty parties. IOWA FARMER REFUSES TO EAT COOKED FOODS Iowa Falls, Aug. 30—My Meyer, who lives near this city, is convinced that raw food is the only proper nourishment for human beings, and after living on this kind of food for eight months is sure that nature never intended cooked food for human nature. Mr. Keyes is well well known in this vicinity, states that after trying the experiment of living on raw food, he would not return to the old order of things for any consideration: He has given the test a thorough trial and says the change in diet curred him of a severe case of indigestion. He never eats cooked food unless away from home and placed where he can eat. He is convinced that the cooked food destroys the vitality of the food and poisons the system. HENDERSON CRITICALLY ILL. Former Speaker of House Unable to Write His Name. Waterloo, Ia., Aug. 28—Col. D. B. Henderson of Dubuque is still in a critical condition, and his recovery from the recent attack of paresis is not as rapid as some of the reports nave indicated. He is still unable to write his own name, as was attested by the coroner and his wife disposed of a lot here to J. W. Krapfel for $500. The signature of the ex-congressional, who served the Third congressional district so long and faithfully, contains a bit of pathos and reveals the true condition of this gallant veteran of the civil war and distinguished statesman. The signature, "David B. Henderson," is flanked above and below with the words, "his marks." On the margin of the deed it is noted that the witnesses of the case George Henderson, Mr. Henderson's law partner, and Belle S. Henderson, his daughter. BOYS GO TO PRISON FOR FOUR BEERS Muscatine, Aug. 29.—Fred Brown and H. Simone of this city were arrested this morning for passing confederate money. They bought four beers, tendered to $20 to the barrens, and sold off the change. The case will go to the federal court. The boys are well known here and have respectable parents. Alleged Grafter held Red Oak, Ia., 60–H. H. Seymour, warranted ten days ago for alleged fraud in connection with bounty land warrants, etc., had his preliminary trial before Judge Watson Saturday afternoon and was bound over to the grand jury, which meets October 10, under $500 bonds. Seymour, warranted ten days ago. Blackstone's court ten days ago because he thought Blackstone had it in for him. After the trial he realized that he had jumped out of the frying pan into the fire, as Justice Watson was one of the men he had caught, and told of wolfer's battle, and deeming him a braid, bound him over. Des Molnes, Aug. 31—In his brief address at the capitol rudder taster day morning Governor Albert Cummins promised protection and care to the old battle flags of Iowa so long as the government seat shall endure. No more imposing and impressive spectacle can be witnessed during fair week than that which took place under the glided dome. Old color-bearers, with halting steps were there. Reverently they lifted the faded bunting flags in their arms. The blush of a bride mantled their faces as the duty folded carelessly, browning. Stretching out from the rotunda, all through the corridors of the state house the floors were thronged with men and women from all over the state. Breathless they watched every detail of the ceremony fraught with a paths not all could understand. One hundred and thirty-eight of the old battle flags were moved from temporary cases in the city to a decade to hermetically sealed cabins in new niches of the rotunda. Military men of prominence, state officials from every department, gathered closely around the platform on which stood Rev. Pete Cox, the pastor, Mrs. J. Jessie Cheek, General James B. Weaver and others. The address of the morning was delivered by the gallant old brigadier-general, Jas. B. Weaver. Time and again his audience was moved to tears. It was an impressive occasion. In his own words, "Never again can ceremony be enacted in the state." TRIES TO KILL HIS TWO STEPSONS Charlton, Sept. 1—The Rev. Mr. Bradley, colored, attempted to kill two of his stepsons, George and Albert Thompson, aged respectively 20 and 17, yesterday evening. The old man seemed to be in a pretty bad mood, for he had been amusing himself by breaking up the furniture and his wife's dishes, and tried to drive the boys away from home. This did not seem to satisfy his anger, so he drew a large pocket knife and assaulted the two boys, with the result that Albert received several wounds about his shoulder. George received a severe gash in the left side and a big hole was cut out of the flesh over his heart and would have caused instant death, but fortunately the knife struck a rib and glanced. Bradley was tried before a justice of the peace this morning and bound to pay the cost of assault with intent to commit murder and placed in jail. Bradley is the man who has gained wide notoriety last winter by starting the story that he was the father of seven pairs of twins, the latest pair having arrived last winter, after he had reached the advanced age of 78 years, but when a reporter came to see him, he was unable produce them, and the whole story proved to be a hoax. He claims to be a minister and often gathers a crowd about him and preaches to them. Corning Prisoner Escapes. Corning. Aug. 30.—James Farrar broke jayesterday afternoon by prying away the bars from an upstairs bedroom, and then dragged the ground by means of bed clothing tied together. The other prisoners were in the plot to escape, but the alarm was sounded too quickly for the police to linger court on a charge of burglary. BABY'S COUGH SAVES THE LIVES OF THREE Grinnell, Aug. 31.—A baby's cough saved the lives of Dr. T. E. Somers, his wife and child early this morning when the Somer's hospital was practically destroyed by fire. Dr. Somers and his wife were sleeping soundly at 3:30 o'clock when the baby's cough awakened them, and investigating, they found the entire top of the hospital aire.

Wiggins Smashes Jerry Stone's Face With Pitchford. Fairfield, Sept. 1. — Jerry Stone's face was smashed in with a pitchfork by William Wiggins while thrashing six miles northwest of the city yesterday afternoon. It is said that the trouble started over a trivial matter. Wiggins then came to Fairfield, where he stopped all prosecutions, but this was refused. He returned to his farm without being arrested.

Aug. 31.—Crowned heads of the world unite with distinguished statesmen of America and Europe in according the glory of peace between Russia and Japan to President Roosevelt. Throughout Tuesday night and yesterday telegrams of congratulations poured in upon the president in a great flood. They came from persons of high degree and of low and from all quarters of the civilized world. Among the first messages received was one from the king of England, as follows: "Marlenbad, Aug. 29.—The president: Let me be one of the first to congratulate you on the successful issue of the peace confidence to which you have so greatly contributed. (Sirenod, Edward R. L.)" Soon afterward a notably cordial cablemag was received from Emperor William of Germany. It read: "Neues Palals, Aug. 23—President Theodore Roosevelt: Just received cablemag from America announcing our embassies and preliminaries of peace; I'm overjoyed; express most sincere congratulations at the great due to your uniting efforts. The whole mankind must unite and will do so in thanksking you for the great boon you have given it. (Signed) William R. I." Ambassador of France seals diplomatic agreement "London, Aug. 30. President Roosevelt: Heartfelt, warmest congratulations. (Signed) Jusserand." Then came telegrams from diplomatic representatives of foreign governments in this country, from Sir Mortimer Durand, the British ambassador; from Sir Charles Bassendorf of Italy and from Sir Chenting Liang Cheng, the Chinese minister.

NO COAL STRIKE SAYS BAER. The Reading President Declares That the Operators Want Peace. Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 30—Mr. Bacr, president of the Reading Railroad company, who returned Saturday from a trip to the west, does not 'ook for a strike in the anthracite region. "While I have had been in closeouch with events in the last few weeks, so said, the miners are satisfied with present conditions, and will make a peaceful adjustment of the wage scale for another term of years.

Washington, Aug. 30.—Of particular importance to the southern cotton spinners and weaves is the announcement by Minister Rockhill yesterday that the Chinese boycott on American piece goods is about to be lifted. The Pakistani minister, this information is to the effect that the anti-American boycott as a whole is gradually subsiding. The Chinese merchants at Shanghai dealing in piece goods are strongly opposing the boycott. Minister Rockhill believes probably will break it so far as piece goods are concerned. Kansas City Packers Called. Kansas City, Mo. Sept. 1. W. D. Miles, former manager of the dressed beef department of the Armour Packers, was named by Thomas P. Ruddy, president of the Interstate Ice and Cold Storage company of this city, have been served with subpoenaes ordering them to appear in Chicago early in October to testify in the trial of the packers indicted by the federal grand jury in Chicago on October 16, testified in this case at Chicago, as to methods used by the Armour company to secure business. St. Peterburg, Sept. 1.—The Associated Press is in a position to state that the report emanating from Portsmouth to the effect that the war party is urging the emperor to repudiate the treaty of peace is untrue, and absurd. All the necessary maneuvers for putting an armistice into effect have been taken into account in the actual operation in the absence of an understanding with the Japanese. Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. 1.—Japan, through Baron Komurn, has agreed to the immediate conclusion of an armistice. At 11 o'clock last night, Baron Komurn de Rozen's room and explained that he and Baron Komura received instructions to arrange terms of an armistice. Baron de Rozen immediately communicated with M. Witte and it is probable that a meeting will be held today for the prosecution of hostilities preliminary to the arrangement by the dedals by the two generals upon the battle field. MAY MEAN THIRD TERM FOR THE PRESIDENT Washington, D. C. Aug. 31.—But one subject has occupied the attention of Washington for the past twenty-four hours—the peace agreement at Portsmouth. Everywhere the outcome of the conference is discussed. The phase of it that excites the most comment here is the remarkable prestige that has been added to the conference. It is the termination of the conference. Already politicians are asking if pressure on Roosevelt for a third term will not be almost irresistible. PLAN DASH FOR POLE. To Start From Dawson—Composed of Experienced Feynners Seattle, Wash., Aug. 29.—An expedition in search of the north pole will start from Dawson, Yukon territory, next summer, if the plans of the International Society for Polar Research and Experiment are fulfilled. Gov. W. B. M. McInnes of Yukon is one of the leaders in the movement, and General George Arctic explorer, thinks the main reason for the success. The main difference between the plans of the Yukon explorers and those of expeditions in the past is that the latter expect to utilize their knowledge of ways and means of existence and transportation. They point to the many mistakes made by persons unaccustomed to artic climbing or on long journeys of entirely unnecessary clothing that does not add to comfort and weakens the system. RAILROAD OFFICIALS DISCUSS GRAIN RATES Chicago, Aug. 30.—The executive officers of the western roads held a meeting yesterday and discussed the alleged payment of commissions on freight business. Every one denied that such commissions were paid except on export business. Considerable trouble was caused by the fact that the proportional rate on grain from river to Chicago are such that it is putting more of the grain from sections to the river and then to Chicago. A meeting to discuss this fraud of the rates has been called for Friday. Recommends More Marriages Boston, Aug. 24—The race suicide question has been officially taken up in Massachusetts by Charles Felton Pidgin, who is in charge of the state census now in progress. He is going to camp on the trail of the man with the most children and will deliver a few things, which Mr. Pidgin believes will help the state. Mr. Pidgin has an idea that the fact that the population does not increase is to be blamed more upon men who refuse to wed than upon small families. A list of married women and children is the women of the estate to determine whether or not the same birth rate exists among married women of the state as among the married women of other states. If the rates are the same, the marriage of married women that marriages in Massachusetts are later or fewer than in other states. If it is evident after the returns are all in that the married folk of the state are doing their duty by the commonwealth then it will be the state that plans whereby the great unmarried division may be lured or coerced into matrimony. Learned The President's Na Tacoma, Wash. Aug. 30—The isolation of some United States citizens is shown in the report made by the revenue cutter Perry, which recently arrived in Juneau. The cutter touched at Atka, in the Aleutian group, 400 miles west of Dutch Harbor. Only one white man lives there and trades with the Indians who both once a year he leased a boat with them. Indian goods and goes to Dutch Harbor to sell them to the Alaskan Commercial company. In this way he has accumulated a fortune. His last trip was made in August, 1804, and since that time he has not seen a white man in the area. Of the first questions he asked when the Perry cast anchor was, "Who is president of the United States?" Depew Company Paid Big Loan New York, Sept. 1.—Announcement was made yesterday by the officers of the Equitable Life Assurance society that the indebtedness to the society was paid, the principal and interest amounting to $293,850.82. The correspondence incident to the transaction was also, at the suggestion of President Paul Morton, made public, to the end, Mr. Morton said, that an impression unjust to Senator Chauncey M. Depew might be removed. The most important letter was from Senator Depew, who states explicitly the part in the transaction between the deceased and the Equitable society and points out what he declares are inaccuracies in published statements through which a grave injustice has been done him. WAR IN EAST AT LAST ENDED Accepta Czar's Ultimatum Providing For Division of Sakhalin and Pay for the Maintenance of Russian Prisoners of War. What Russia Grants. Recognizes Japan's preponderant in- fluence in Korea. Concedes mutual obligation of both countries to evacuate Manchuria; Japan pan to restrain in Manchuria Chinese sovereignty and civil administration. Surrenders leases to Japan of Lalo Tung peninsula, including Port Arthur and Dany and Blonde and Elliott islands. Cedes to China by agreement with Japan that part of Chinese Eastern railway south of Marshal Oyama's present position. Grants Japanese fishing rights along Siberian littoral. What Japan Concedes. Foregoes all indemnity or reimbursement for cost of the war. Agrees to equal division of island of Sakhalin without demanding that Russia buy back northern half. Drops articles referring to surrender of interred Russian warships and limitation of Russia's naval power in far east from conditions of peace. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 30—The long and bloody war between Japan and Russia is ended. The terms of peace were settled by M. Witte and Baron Komura at the session of the conference this morning, and this afternoon preliminary arrangements for the war were final. The actual work of framing the "treaty of Portsmouth" was by mutual agreement turned over to M. de Martens, Russia's great international lawyer, and Mr. Dennison, who for twenty-five years had acted as the legal advocate for the war. The treaty is expected to be com- This happy conclusion of the conference, which a week ago would have been shipwrecked had it not been for the heretic intercession of President Roosevelt, was sudden and dramatic. For the sake of peace Japan, with the magnanimity of a victor, at the last moment yielded everything still in issue. Russia refused to budge from the ultimate Emperor Nicholas had given to President Roosevelt through Ambassador John Koehler. In response, he agreed with an agreement to divide Sukhalin and reimburse Japan for the maintenance of the Russian prisoners were his last words. Articles 10 and 11 (interned warships and the limitation of Russia's sea power in the far east) were withdrawn. Japan agreed that only that land south of Chanfu, the portion occupied by Oyama, should be ceded to Japan. Both sides, once the deadlock was broken, wanted a "just and lasting peace and in that spirit it would be Sakhalin, each country binding itself not to fortify its half of the island and Japan assuming an obligation not to fortify La Perous strait between Sakhalin and Hokkaido, which would bar Russia's commercial route to the east. The plenipotentiaries went further, they decided to add a new clause in the nature of a broad provision for mutual commercial privileges, by which each country will secure for the other the most of the "most assured nation" clause and the "open door." The new treaty, therefore, will be a wonderfully friendly document, of character to raise the suspicion that the two countries have not only negotiated peace, but have concluded the basis of a future alliance. There is no doubt that the treaty is devoted that any secret clauses are to be appended to the present treaty. RYAM ADVISES FEDERAL CONTROL seattle, Wash., Aug. 29.—Thomas F. Ryan, the financier of New York city, who recently acquired the controlling interest of the Equitable Life Assurance society of New York, in an interview here with the Associated Press said in part: "The management of all the great life insurance companies must become an open book, or confidence, which is the very foundation on which they rest, will not be soon restored. The federal government should have practically the same supervision of life insurance companies as it has over national managers of these companies have in their keeping a trust of the most sacred character and they should not object to this step in the best interests of their business. I am quite sure that President Roosevelt has given me the hope he will express his opinion to congress in his usual vigorous and straightforward manner." Mount Lebanon, N. Y., Sept. 1.—At the Shakers' power convention yesterday, Dr. Peebles presented figures of the loss of life and cost to nations of wars. To abolish war he made the following recommendations: the loss of life of an eye for an eye and praising Jebah as a god of battle; disband the boys' brigades, which breed and encourage wars; give suffrage to woman, who will voice her sentiments for peace; cease to resentry yearly the war ghosts of Yorktown and Bunker Hill. The war does no more boasting webbing about the British. True patriotism," said the soldier, does not consist of noise and blood-shed, but in justice aglow with mercy and equal opportunities for all. Radda—"How" much does that chauffer cost you a season?" Greene—"Repairs, fines, or salary?" Yankees Stateman. A Chicago druggist had gone to the back part of the store to answer a telephone call, leaving his ten-year-old boy temporarily in charge. Yang Pim, the Chinese laudryman in the store, came in at this amount to buy two bottles of milk, and we got some, said the conscientious boy, "but I don't believe it'll do you any good. You might take a dozen bottles of it, and you'd still be a Chinaman." A teacher was instructing a class of infants in the Sunday-school, and was letting the children finish her sentences to make sure they understood. "The idol had eyes," she said, "but it couldn't——" "See," cried the children. "It had ears, but it couldn't——" "Hear," said the class. "I lips, lips, lips," she said. "Speak," said the children. "It had a nose, but it couldn't——" "Wipe it!" shouted the little ones. The American in the corner of the non-smoking first-class carriage on an English railway insisted on lighting his cigar. The indignant Britisher in the other corner protested, and protested in vain. At the next station he hailed the guard, with hostile intent; but the plaid American was too quick to believe. "I think you'll find that this gentleman is traveling with a third-class ticket on him." Investigation proved him to be right, and the indignant Britisher was ejected. A spectator of the little scene asked the triumphant Britisher, "Well," explained the imperturbable stranger, "it was sticking out of his pocket, and I saw it was the same color as mine." The late Secretary of State John Hay was fond of telling a story of a king who once upon a time fell into a state of deep melancholia. Court physicians could do nothing for him, and were in dispair, when a certain wise man bethought himself of the well-known cure of sleeping In the shirt of a happy man over night. So couriers were dispatched everywhere in search of the shirt of a perfectly happy man. One by one they returned from their fruitless search through the kingdom. It last only one courier remained out, and he, too, began to despair of finding the shirt of a perfectly happy man. It was just about twilight, and he was riding over a village green, when he was attracted by the careless woman of disreputable beggar who was stretched full length upon the sword. Are you perfectly happy man, demanded by the careless woman, "I am," said the beggar, "a thousand crowns for the loan of your shirt!" "But I haven't any," replied the beggar. Lesson for Women. Jersey Shore, Pa., Aug. 28th (Special)—"Dodd's Kidney Pills have done words of good for me." That's what Mrs. C. B. Earnest of this place has to say of the Great American Kidney Remedy. She laid up sick. Mrs. Earnest continues, "and had not been out of bed for five weeks. Then I began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills and now I can so I can work and go to town without suffering any. I would not be without Dodd's Kidney Pills. I have good reason to praise them everywhere." Women who suffer should learn a lesson from this, and that lesson is the Dodd's Kidney Pills and your suffering will. Women's health depends almost entirely on her kidneys. Dodd's Kidney Pills have never yet failed to make healthy kidneys. A woman can take a voll, a couple of ribbons and a smile and be all the work that nature ever performed for human beauty—New York Press.
