The program then proceeded as officially arranged. An Interesting Character. One of the most interesting delegates in attendance upon the annual session in Topeka this week of the National Negro Business League is M. W. Gibbs of Little Rock, Ark. Eighty-four years of age, he is full of the vim and alertness of a man half that age. Mr. Gibbs has hewn a path for himself of honorable endeavor and one which has been rich in fruition. In turn he has been a carpenter, constructionman, railroad builder, superintendent of mine, attorney at law, county attorney, municipal judge, register of United States lands, receiver of public monies for the United States, United States consul to Madagascar and banker. He was considerable valuable property in Little Rock, Topeka and other localities and is considered very wealthy. Though born at a period when slavery was strongly entrenched, Mr. Gibbs was fortunate in being born out of bondage, his father being a Negro Wesleyan. Methodist he received a good preliminary education. Equipped with this he learned the carpenter trade, engaged in contract work, and with the gold excitement of 1849 he ventured to the Pacific coast. Here after working at his trade he established a shoe store. He was also a teacher and a friend he received to Victoria, B. C., where he engaged in business with considerable success. Mr. Gibbs by reason of his forceful character soon became one of the prominent citizens, and was elected to the council. He secured an interest in a coal mine in the vicinity of Itafo after residing in Victoria ten years he removed to Oberlin, Ohio. resided at the National Business Men's for the eighth time as its president. Ople Read, at one time editor of the Gazette at Hittle Rock, considered Gibbs one of the brainiest men of that state and was always a warm personal friend. Dr. S. G. Elbert of Wilmington, Del., presided at the opening of the second day's session of the National Negro Business League this morning. The Rev. R. D. M. A. Johnson of Vicksburg, Dr. M. A. lel in singing "Hold the Fort, Hold the Fort," and praying that the prayer was made by the Rev. Dr. C. G. Fishback, pastor of the Shiloh Baptist church, Topeka. Dr. D. F. Tipton of Emporia told his experiences covering a period of twenty-eight years in house moving success which he had curried that time. John Spencer of Grinnell, Iowa, told of his experience as a contractor and builder, while the real estate business was discussed by John Bell of Robert C. Owens of Los Angeles Cal. George L. Knox of Indianapolis, Ind., editor of the Freeman, made the opening address. He said that he was glad to be in Kansas, the state which he had heard of from childhood. He said: "I am proud of my race. I am sorry that there are some who are an inferior race, but they are mistaken. God never made a superior and inferior race, but out of one he made us all." The he declared was the declaration by the Apotheke Paul from the heights of Mars Hill. "The white man is not just to us because he measures himself from the bottom of the barrel. We have Negroes superior and Negroes inferior just as whites men superior and inferior." "Sugar Beet Growing" was discussed by George W. Grass of Rockyford, Col. In his address he showed that the Negro was making rapid progress in the sugar beet growing business in the state, himself. He is said to be the only Negro in that state in the business and has made a success. Chas. Banks, cashier of the bank of Mound Bayou, was introduced and made a short address. He is one of the most successful Nero business men in the south. He was born in Mississippi and graduated from Rust University, Holly Springs, Miss. He organized the business Negroes of his state and is president of the State Negro Business League and is a recognized leader of the Negroes of the state. A. Wilson of Kansas City, Kans., discussed the jewelry business among the Negroes, showing how he learned the business of watch making when a boy and how he had applied for a position, but was refused on account of race and color. He decided to go in business for himself, which he did, and close application to business that he had practiced and showed how he had advertised, always showing to the world that he was a Negro and had helped him in the business. Dr. L. W. W. Manaway of Jackson, miss., told about the success of the Negroes of his state. He furnished the following statistics from the Mississippi Negroes. Lincoln Savings bank, Vicksburg, capital stock, $25,000; Penny Savings bank, Indianola, capital stock, $35,000; Yazoo Penny Savings bank, Yazoo City, capital stock, $35,000; Southern bank, Jackson, Miss, capital stock, Bank of Mound Bayon, Mound Bayon, $25,000; American Trust and Savings bank, Union Savings bank, Vicksburg, capital stock, $10,000; Bluff City Savings, bank, Natchez, capital stock, $10,000; Penny Savings bank, Columbus, capital stock, $10,000; Knights of Honor Savings, Knights of Honor, capital stock, $10,000. Total amount of capital of banks, $20,000. Robert N. Turner of Topeka talked about "Market Gardening." He said that the first thing a gardener should do was to get the best available seed and not buy seed because they were and an up to date gardener would always be able to grow it. "Do not borrow from your neighbor," he said, "but have your own tools. I try to be the first in market with my vegetables. I learn that in order to do this I must keep in business." "Genius Farming" was discussed by Benjamin J. Carr of Hartville, Tenn. "Every Negro should buy a farm," he said, "and pay for it. I started to buy a farm back in the eighties and had a mule and $75. I raised some tobacco on that small farm and off all the note and bougainvillea and had acres of land all paid for. I continued to rise tobacco, also raise corn, wheat, sheep, hogs, cows and everything else they raise on the farm. You young men of today have better opportunities than we had when I was a child. I learn that this mission in this world is to work and he must not fear the hot sun. Then he must learn that a man can't sit around on street corners telling yarn and run a farm. You have got to get a move on you. Get a new home and learn to own a home in the city, but I tell my wife I don't want to live in town. The people in town are complaining about things being high, but that is just what we farmers want." J. C. Napain, president of the Penny Savings bank, Nashville, Tennessee, was the first person to work and influence of Ben Carter. His address was short but practical. Thomas J. Caloway, who is at the head of the Negro department of the Jaunestown exposition, was introduced and made a short address, telling of the exhibits which the Negroes had and urging the members of the race for a special day under the auspices of the National Business league.

Johnson of Vicksburg, Miss., is representing the Negro Baptist president of the State Baptist convention, which has a membership of 280,000. W. T. Vernon, registrar of the United States treasury, spoke to the league in Representative Hall on "The Negro and the Nation." The first message of great hope which was brought to the league by its president and founder, Booker T. Washington, in his speech of Wednesday night. Said Mr. Vernon in part: "The growth and spread of the goodness in mankind have given just cause to the American Negro to look up and take the better people of America to help us all that they can. We are having in the north a strong effort to secure the direct primary system in our elections and I think it is to be considered a great step in advance. Governments of the world have arisen and fallen. The best public is really the right of the world. John T. Writt of Pittsburg, Pa., followed by a talk upon "Practical Catering." Mr. Writt appeared in evening dress, and told of his rise in the catering business. He began as a waiter and had attained good results. He became a feature of his business policy. Mrs. Belle Davis of Indianapolis, Ind., discussed the subject. She said she started out in the business a few years ago without a penny. Now she has stock valued at $30,000. We talk P. Fred Romore of Joplin, Mo., talk Prof. R. R. Wright of Georgia was introduced and talked briefly.

Tallaferoer, a wholesale and retail merchant of Perry, O.K., spoke upon his way of conducting business. Mr. Tallaferoer went to Perry in 1893 and sold pennants and red lemonade for a while, and since then has built up a business which lately invoiced at $22,000. S. Laing Williams and L. L. Jones of Chicago, Ill., told the growth of a company in which they were interested, and gas business near Chianute, this state. W. H. Chadwick of Guthrie, Okla., gave experiences in building up first the grocery and then the undertaking business. He said he started with $2.25 and then went on to succeed of success which he had reacquired in the clothing business. The auditing committee reported, showing receipts of $4,745.16; and balance on hand at the opening of this meeting, of $1,069.46. The reacquired committee was received and adopted. Adjournment was then taken to Garfield Park, where dinner was served to the hundreds of visitors and delegates, and where a reception was held for the guests. The cools and Biggs' bands played and there were speeches by L. W. Manaway of Mississippi, George L. Knox of Indiana, M. W. Guy of Indian Territory and G. W. Sawyer of Oklahoma. The most important features was the banking symposium on Friday morning, when fifteen bank press ```markdown ``` Price Five Cents He dents and cashiers were present and a representative of each bank was given only five minutes to tell of his bank. Space will not permit us to speak of all those banks, but I will speak on only one, the oldest colored bank in America.

Business League Notes. The National Business Men's League was a great success. Booker T. Washington is a great man in the right place as its president. It was the first time Ye Editor ever met so many wealthy colored men. He was the first national meeting will be held in the old classical and historical city of Baltimore, M. D. Iowa for the first time was represented by seven persons, John L. Thompson of Des Moines, Lewis E. Johnson and A. L. DeMond of Buxton, W. H. Jones and of Keokau, Chas, P. Davis of Council Bluffs and John Spencer of Grinnell, all good men. Gee, L. Knox, editor of the Freeman, and T. Tomas Fortune of the New York Age were very conspicuous and real race men. When the honored roll for life membership was called by Dr. Washington and Dr. Bush of Little Rock, Ark. We were the membership of $25 in the person of Chas. Davis of Council Bluffs. So we are now on the man. There was corn, wheat, rye, potatoe, beans, timothy hay, baking powders, etc., on exhibition. J. A. Lankford, the architect from Washington, D. C., was present with exhibits J. A. Davis of Washington, D. C., who teaches typewriting and telegraph by phonograph was here. There was a number of exhibits at Representative Hall, all made by Negroes. One of these was by the business department of Western University, Quindara, by student J. A. Lankford, by department. Another was by manufacturers of a brand of baking powder in Kansas City. J. K. Lankford, a Negro supervising architect and builder, has an interesting display of pictures and drawings, showing his work. He employs a little more than 40 students. University students are doing letter writing in the postoffice room of Representative Hall, to those delegates and visitors who desire it. Charles Stewart, a Negro news writer, is "covering" the convention, Mr. Stewart has been in the newspaper since 1910, and during that time has had connection with all of the great daily newspapers of the south. He has "covered" eleven lynchings throughout the south, all of them important from a news standpoint. Mr. Stewart says the race problem is a difficult one and of it has been increased by the disfranchisement of Negroes in the south. It is said that the interest and enthusiasm in the work of the convention is fully-up to the standard. It is believed that the railroad rate situation has seriously cut down the attendance of visitors from what it was in the past, and the realities been the same as they were in other years. But it was thought last night that the attendance was not far from 1,200. THE NATIONAL BUSINESS MEN'S LEAGUE Last week the National Business Men's League met for its first time west of the Mississippi river in Topeka, Kans. It was a great gathering of the best and most influential men in the country, and many might feel proud to have this representative body in their midst. The sight of this convention is inspiring and hearing the addresses was very helpful and encouraging to every true citizen. There was no tone of failure over the course of the circumstances surrounding the race, but that true and noble spirit of I'll do the best. I can amid disadvantages, and those men told of their success and the obstacles that they had to overcome. It was good that they should come out west to entwine with the men of the community we have heretofore to drink the experiences of successful men and women as they told their simple story in a plain, simple way was like a novel. It has been of untold help to the young people there gathered, men of the community senting millions and millions of dollars; some young men not yet 40 years old worth $25,000 to $50,000 certainly demonstrate the future of this race. We only wish all of our readers could have been there and seen for themselves what eyes 15 bankers represented. Read my report elsewhere and you will then have a brief conception of its magnitude. A TALENTED YOUNG LADY. We are informed of the death of Miss Goggins of Jefferson, Iowa, who died last Friday at the home of her parents, Mr. Frank Goggins, after a lingering sickness of nearly one year. She was a very talented and accomplished young lady in music, having been born in a small city of birth, Ohio. She has visited our city a few times and many of our musical lovers remember how exquisitely she rendered several instrumentals when in our city. She was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Windsor at 117 W. Seventh street. Her parents are an old and highly esteemed citizens of Jefferson, where the young, woman was born. She is in the beautiful cemetery amid many beautiful bouquets of flowers. The man who invented the Teddy bear has been arrested for an entirely different crime. Some Spanish anarchist has started the story that the queen of Spain writes poetry. A Georgia preacher announces that there must be no hell. Must be cloudy in Georgia nowadays. Hell is in the sun, according to a greacher. The sun has certainly been acting like that this year. King Chulalongkorn of Sham is going to visit us. Won't he be great picking for newspaper poets? Mark Twain, probably wears that white suit to match his hair. That involves less trouble than changing the color of the hair. A Harvard graduate is walking to San Francisco. He says it is on a wager, but probably the facts are that he wants to get there. Kink Edward is one of the few men who can afford to tutorain 7,000 guests at one time and take his chances with the souvenir hunters. What a fine, hearty laugh Englishmen will have in about five years from now when some of Mark Twain's jokes have begun to dawn on them! Don't quarrel about nature, gentlemen writers about the beasts of the fields and the birds of the air. She is old enough to take care of herself. Psychic epilepsy is the latest excuse for shooting up the town. Psychic confinement on psychic bread and water should be tried as a cure. Thirty thousand gypsies are to be banished from Hungary, and it is reported that they may come to this country. They will make a mistake if they come now. The advent of the automobile has made horse trading untractive, and the fortune-telling business has almost completely gone over to people who do not pretend to have any gypsy blood in their veins. It seems like a curious reversal of ocular conditions when the west comes to the east to get buffaloes, with which to replenish its stock. Yet that is just what has happened. The owner of a big ranch in Oklahoma, relates the Troy, (N. Y.) Times, has purchased a collection temporarily located at the Bronx zoological gardens, and the animals will be shipped to the new owner's home. The transaction involves a buffalo hunt, but with a difference. When the king of Italy was told that a son had been born to the wife of Lloyd C. Griscom, the American ambassador in Rome, he exclaimed: "I had always believed that ambassadors were blessed only with grand sons!" Ambassadors, as well as senators, used to be old men, but this all seems to have been changed. Ambassador Griscom is only 34 years old, and it will be many years before he is a grandfather; and there are many men in the senate less than 50. Another man 101 years old has wed his first sweetheart, now 100 years old. This is getting to be quite a fad. The man or woman who doesn't get married on his or her one hundredth birthday is very much behind the times. There is nothing like starting the second century right. Many a man who looks back regrettely as memories of his first sweetheart are recalled would be willing to marry the girl provided she would consent to wait until his one hundredth birthday. The natives of the Tonga or Friendly islands, off the east side of New Zealand, are said to be the finest in physique of any on earth. The average height of the males is five feet ten inches. Many of them are over six feet. They weigh from 160 to 300 pounds, and are very straight, being built in proportion. The women average a greater height than the women themselves. They have fine figures and average from 100 to 160 pounds in weight. They are of a copper color, straight-haired and with features which made the Greeks famous. Congress is to be called upon to transform the United States into the emblance of the garden of Mistress Mary, the "quite contrary" you g lady who raised "columbines all in a row." The Columbine association is perfecting plans to petition the national legislature to make the columbine the national flower. One of its members, a professor of botany, maintains that no flower would be more appropriate, as the name comes from the Latin word meaning "a dove, the world's emblem of peace—a name given to this flower because one common form of it resembles a group of doves." There seems to be a growing disposition among sportsmen to give the hunted animal a fair chance. Few hunters will now defend the pursuit of deer at night with a jack-light, a method of hunting in which the animal has little chance for his life. Mr. Cleveland, a hunter and fisherman, as well as a former president, has lately conferred with sportsmen fishing with night lines, and has urged that humane persons whose friends thus violate the principles of sportsmanship should express in some way their condemnation of such conduct. The waiters in convention in New York have decided not to abolish the tipping system, because the object of their organization is "to raise the social standing and increase the individual culture and refinement of the waiter." It is contended that to do this the waiter must have money for books and paintings and statuary and travel. From this point of view the more expensive waiter a dime at the close of the meal, or a badly served dinner can feel himself in the same class of philanthropists with Andrew Carnegie. TAFT TALKS OF RACE ISSUE AND THE DEMOCRACY. Is of Opinion That When Negroes Become Respected Business Men Suffrage Will Be Accordeed. Lexington Ky., Aug. 23.—With a discussion of the race problem, general political issues from the southwestern point and an appeal to Kentucky's population and other southeners to come to the aid of the republicans in support of those principles which he believed they favored. Secretary of War William O. Hearn opened the state campaign in this city. Calling attention to what he called the south's lack of representation in the councils of the nation, the chief justice of the court, "because a single issue has made the south the perpetual tail of the democratic party so that however small the northern head, it wags the tail of the south," he shadows an issue that circumstances ought to have long removed from political controversy, to blind its solidity to the democratic party, no matter what principals or candidates that party "selected." He called attention to the prosperity of Kentucky's developing industry, and he pressed the belief that many Kentuckians who favored a protective tariff had blindly voted the democratic ticket from the feeling of the After mentioning the various means of disfranchising voters, declaring that such laws were proper if applied with equal fairness to both black and white, he expresses his confidence in the citizens under the leadership of such men as Booker T. Washington would "become respected business members of the communities in which they live and when they exercise independence of judgment in respect to politics," he adds. "Initially, the right to vote will be accorded them and they will exercise a far more useful influence as intelligent and solid members of the community for the benefit of their race than the right to vote.

In this way, through devious ways which cannot be justified or approved, we may still reach a result that will square with the requirements of the federal constitution, every political and economic right and will confer great benefit upon the colored race." STANDPATTERS WILL FIGHT. The Utterances of Chairman Payne Are Significant. Washington, D. C., Aug. 23—Chairman Payne of the house ways and means committee delivered himself of some utterances on tariff revision that make it clear that he has no thought of revision before the president is informed that he is not willing to commit himself to revision after that election. He said that he considered that there was general consent among republicans to the proposition that it would be on the eve of a presidential election. When asked if there would be a revision after the presidential election, he said: "I think the republican national convention will decide that the president should favor revised revision after election, he merely said: "I have great confidence in a republican convention and in a republican congress. I am willing to abide by the decision of the republican congress in any question relating to party policies." He added there were no hard times in New York state. Factories were running full time and every man who wanted employment could have it. Mr. Payne's caution tone about reopening the factory has long other developments among standdatters, are making it more and more plain that tariff revision has plenty of obstacles yet ahead of it, and that the high tariff forces have not by any means been an overhauling of schedules after the presidential election.

To one not qualified, and few laymen are, to discriminate intelligently between physicians' prescriptions, proprietary medicines and nortrums, it may seem little more of a crime to hint even that physicians' prescriptions are not easily manner related to examination, nevertheless, an impartial examination of all the facts in the case leads irreasibly to the conclusion that every medicinal preparation compounded and dispensed by a physician is, in the strict sense of the word, a nostrum, and that the average, ready-prepared proprietary remedy is superior to the average specially-prepared physicians' prescription. What is a nostrum? According to the Standard Dictionary a nostrum is "a medicine the composition of which is kept a secret." Now, when a physician compounds and dispenses with his own hands a remedy for the treatment of a disease—and it is authoritatively stated that probably 60 percent of all physicians' prescriptions in this country are so dispensed—the names and quantities of the ingredients which constitute the remedy are not made known to the patient. Hence, since its composition is secret, the remedy or prescription is unquestionably, in the true meaning of the word, a Simpure nostrum. Furthermore, the prescription compounded by the average physician is more than likely to be a perfect blem—replete with therapeutic, physiologic and chemical incompatibilities and bearing all the marks of pharmaceutical incompetency; for it is now generally admitted that unless a physician has made a special study of pharmacy and passed some time in a drug store for the purpose of gaining a practical knowledge of modern pharmaceutical methods, he is not fitted to compound remedies for his patients. Moreover, a physician who compounds his own prescriptions not only deprives the pharmacist of his just necessity, but he also does so for the patients; for it is only by the detection and elimination of errors in the prescriptionists that the safety of the public can be effectively shielded from the criminal blunders of ignorant physicians. Nor can it be said that the average physician is any more competent to formulate a prescription than he is to compound it. When memorized or directly copied from a book of "favorite prescriptions by famous physicians," or from some text-book or medical journal, the prescription may be all that it should be. It is only when the physician is required to originate a formula on the spur of the moment that his incompetency is distinctly evident. Seemingly, however, the physicians of the United States are little worse than the average British physician for instance. The average Materia Medica and Pharmacy, Edinburgh, launceting in the Medical Magazine the passing of the prescription and bemoaning the fact that seldom does he find a "final man" able to devise a prescription even in "good contracted Latin." And what, it may be asked, is the status of the written prescription—the prescription that is compounded and dispensed by the pharmacist—is it, too, a nostrum? It may be contended that the patient, with the written formula in his possession, may learn the character of the remedy prescribed. So, possibly, he might if he understood Latin and was a physician or a pharmacist, but as he usually possesses no professional training and is not practically a dead secret to him. Furthermore, the average prescription is so badly written and so greatly abbreviated that even the pharmacist, skilled as he usually is in dechiphering medical hieroglyphs, is constantly obliged to interview prescribers to find out what actually has been prescribed. It may also be contended, that inasmuch as the formula is known to both physician and pharmacist the prescription cannot therefore be a secret. But with equal truth it might be called nostrum is not a secret since it is known to both proprietor and manufacturer; for it must not be forgotten that, according to reliable authority, 95 per cent. of the proprietors of so-called patient medicines prepared in this country have their remedies made for them by large, reputable manufacturing pharmacists. But even should a patient be able to recognize the names of the ingredients mentioned in a formula he would only know half the story. It is seldom, for instance, that alcohol is specifically mentioned in a prescription, for it is usually contained in the form of distillate extracts, as are a great many other substances. It is evident, therefore, that the ordinary formulated prescription is, to the average patient, little less than a secret remedy or nostrum. On the other hand, the formulae of neatly all the proprietary medicines that are exploited exclusively to the medical profession as well as those of a large percentage of the proprietary remedies that are advertised to the public are published in interstates) are published in a full. Under the Food and Drugs Act, every medicinal preparation entering interstate commerce is now required to have the proportion or quantity of alcohol, opium, cocain and other habit-forming or harmful ingredients which it may contain plainly printed on the label. As physicians' prescriptions are made, cocain and other herbicides they are practically exempt under the law. And if it be necessary for the public to know the composition of proprietary remedies, as is contended by those who through- An elderly woman entered a shop and asked to be shown some tablecloth. The woman brought a pile and showed them to her, but she she had seen those clothes suited her. "Haven't you something new?" she asked. The man then brought another pile and showed them to her. "These are the newest patterns," he said. "You will notice the edge runs right round the border and the center is in the middle."Dear me, yes. I will take half a dozen of them," said the woman. norance or for mercenary reasons are opposing the sale of all household remedies, why is it not equally necessary for patients to know the composition of the remedy prescribed by a physician? Does any same person believe that the opium in a physician's prescription is less potent or less likely to create a drug habit than the opium in a proprietary medicine? What is the difference between addicts and cocaine-frauds have been made through the criminal carelessness of important physicians than by any other means. Unquestionably, there are a number of proprietary remedies on the market the sales of which should be prohibited, and no doubt they will be when the requirements of the Food and Drugs Act are rigidly enforced; many are frauds, pure and simple, and some are decidedly harmful. Of the average proprietary remedy, the most bitter that it is dismayably better than the average physicians' prescription; for not only is its composition less secret, but it is prepared for the proprietor by reputable manufacturing pharmacists in magnificently equipped laboratories and under the supervision and advice of able chemists, competent physicians and skillful pharmacists. It should not be considered strange, therefore, that so many physicians prefer to prescribe these ready-prepared proprietary remedies rather than trust those of their own devising. JUST THE MASS AS CURRENCY. Third Son Felt He Had Nothing to Reproach Himself with. William Knoepfel, of St. Louis, has invented and hopes to patent a secret plowing method for the cure of baldness. "A genine cure for baldness," said Mr. Knoepfel the other day, should make a man very rich. Why, men grow rich on fake cures. It is amazing, it really is, whatakes some of these cures are. Yet there'money in them." Mr. Knoepfel gave a loud, scornful laugh. "In their crookedness they remind me," he said, "of the third son of the old eccentric person you have heard the story. Well, you know, he has fortune equally to his three sons. But the will contained a strange provisor. Each heir was to place $100 in the coffin immediately before the interment. A few days after the interment the three young men met and discussed the queer proviso and its execution. 'Well,' said the oldest son, 'my conscience is clear. I put my hundred in the coffin in clean, new notes.' My conscience is clear, too,' said the second son. I put in my hundred in gold'." The third son, self with, said the third son. I had no cash at the time, though, so I wrote out a check for $200 in poor, dear father's name, placed it in the coffin' and took in change the $200 in currency that I found there." PUSHED THE BEAR ASIDE. Surveyor Tells of Experience He Does Not Care to Repeat. To walk right up to a monster bean and try to shove it out of the way and then escape without so much as a scratch is an experience of a lifetime. Harry I Engelbright found it so a few days ago in Diamond canyon, above Washington, says a Nevada City correspondent of the Sacramento Bee. The young man, son of Congressman Engelbright, has just returned from the upper country, where he has been doing some surveying, and related his husband's work. It was on dusk, at the close of the day's work. In the brushful trail he saw protruding what he thought were the hind quarters of some stray bovine. He walked up and gave the brute a shove. It came to its haunches with a snort that made his hair rise and caused him to beat a haasty retreat. The big brute looked around and then shuffled off into the woods. It was either alpine or else so busy eating ants from an old log that it failed to hear the young surveyor, whose footsteps were heard in the thick carpet of pine needles. Later it was learned that the same bear, a monster cinnamon, had killed a dog earlier in the day. The dog ventured too close and with one blow of its paw the big beast sent it hurting yards away, dead as a doorall. Magnifying Choir Leader's Voice. In the old village of Braybrook in Northamptonshire, England, is a monster trumpet, five six inches in length, and having a bell-shaped end two feet one inch in diameter. The trumpet is made up of ten rings, which in turn are made up of smaller parts. The use of this trumpet—only four of the kine are known to exist at the present time—is the voice of the leader in the choir and summer people to the church service. At the present time neither the choir nor the service is in need of this extraordinary "musical instrument," but the vicar of the church lakes carc, of the ancient relic and is fond of showing it to all visitors. Painfully Exact. A New England man tells of a prosperous Connecticut farmer, painfully exact in money matters, who married a widow of Greenwich possessing in her own right the sum of $10,000. Shortly after the wedding a ...and met the farmer, to whom he offered congratulations, at the same time observing: "It's a good thing for you, Malachi, a marriage that means $10,000 to you." "Not quite that, Bill" said the farmer, "not quite that." "Why," exclaimed the friend, "I understood there was every cent of $10,000 in it for you!" "He had to pay $2 for a marriage license," said Malachi. Wit. A witty, man is a dramatic performer; in process of time he can no more exist without applause than he can exist without air; if his audience be small, or if they are inactive, or if he possesses him of any portion of his admirers he all over with him—he slackens and is extinguished. The applause of the theater on which he performs is a essential to him that he must obtain it at the expense of decoy, friendship and good feeling —Sydney Smith. PUZZLE—FIND A GOOD TRUST. FEDERAL INVESTIGATION MIDWAY PAPER'S NEWS ROMANCE ENDS IN TRAGEDY NEW YORK MAN KILLS WIFE AND COMMITS SUICIDE. Julius Teich Finds Sweetheart After Long Search, Weds Her, Then Killa Her. New York—After a search that lasted five years and covered 15,000 miles on two continents, Julius Teich found the girl he loved and persuaded her to marry him, only to kill her in a fit of anger after two months of wedded life and then, repentant, to take his own life.

But he was possessed of a violent temper and Emily feared him. Her parents also objected to the marriage. But Tetch was insistent so the girl left Germany secretly to escape him and came to America. This was five years ago. For two years she but failed to find her. Then her parents admitted to him that she was in America but refused to tell him where. Nothing daunted, the young man came to America and renewed his search. He hunted New York for months but failed to find her. Then he went to Minneapolis, St. Louis, Philadelphia and Scranton where he thought the girl had friends, but without result. He returned to New York a few months ago and accidentally met Emily on the street. She was living here with an aunt and, in spite of her aunt's objection, Emily finally conceived. She had been so faithful in his search that they were married two months ago. Neighbors in the apartment house say that there was a quarrel in the Telch apartment Wednesday morning because Emily refused to get up to partake of the breakfast Julius had prepared. There were sharp words and a pistol shot. Then pleading words for forgiveness from Julius, followed by another shot.

Good Reason for Capt. Bascomb's Intermittent Hearing. When Capt. Bascomb had left his old friend, Capt. Somers, and the new school teacher sitting on the south porch, and had disappeared down the road, the young woman spoke of him with some curiosity. "I understand from Mrs. Bascomb that her husband was very deaf, almost stone-deaf," she told me, I am sure," said the school teacher. "But he seemed to hear all we said with perfect ease." And capt. Somers leanced toward her and aped in a spoke in low, cautious tone, although there was no eavesdropper to hear him. "Don't let Mis' Bascomb know it," he said, hurriedly. "He does seem to hear pretty well when she ain't round, but none of us folks ever or to her. She's a good woman as ever lived, but a most tremendous bosser and an everlasting talker. An' was all thinkin' ten years ago that if he didn't want to be harried right off in the face o' the earth, the thing for him to do was to grow deef, gradual, but steady—an' he done it, to all intents an' purposes, ma'am!" —Youth's Companion. He Was Not to Blame. Little Bartholomew's mother overheard him swearing like a mute child, and displayed a fluency that overwhelmed her. She took him to task, explaining the wickedness of profanity as well as its vulgarity. She asked him where he had learned all those dreadful words. Bartholomew announced that Cavert, one of his playmates, had taught him. Cavert's mother was straightway informed and Cavert was brought to book. He vigorously denied having instructed Bartholomew, having threats for teammates make his confess. At last he burst out: "I didn't tell Bartholomew anyuss words. Why should I know how to cuss any better than he does? Don't his father got an automobile, too?" Used ink for Bluing. "One can never be too careful about apparently harmless articles setting about the house," said a housewife the other day. "Not long ago my husband brought home one of those big tail bottles of ink from the office. It had got to be a nuisance buying one of the small five-cent bottles every time we ran out of ink, that he said he would bring home a supply. "I bought a week after that I got a sow ear, and when she did the washing she took the big bottle of ink for bluing. Of course every stitch of our white clothes in the washing was cuined." Fresh Fuel. The scrap between the married couple had died down to a few listless muttersing, and the canary bird in the cage was beginning to think about singing again, when she remarked, as a sort of afterthought: "At any rate, everybody in my family thinks I am very intelligent." "Yes, by the side of them you are," he replied with a bitter snort. After this the scrap was renewed publilyed. **One to Reckon With.** There's a little girl who gave her talks a shock the other day.

FOOD FACTS Grape-Nuts FOOD A Body Balance People hesitate at the statement that the famous food, Grape-Nuts, yields as much nourishment from one pound as can be absorbed by the system from ten pounds of meat, bread, wheat or eats. Ten pounds of meat might contain more nourishment than one pound of Grape-Nuts, but not in shape that the system will absorb as large a proportion of, as the body can take up from one pound of Grape-Nuts. This food contains the selected parts of wheat and barley which are prepared and by natural means predigested, transformed into a form of sugar, ready for immediate assimilation. People in all parts of the world testify to the value of Grape-Nuts. My message "I have gained ten pounds on Grape-Nuts food. I can truly recommend it to thin people." He had been eating meat, bread, etc. right along, but there was no ten pounds of added flesh until Grape-Nuts food was used. One curious feature regarding true health food is that its use will reduce the weight of a corpulent person with unhealthy flesh, and will add to the weight of a thin person not properly nourished. There is abundance of evidence to prove this. Grape-Nuts balances the body in a condition of true health. Scientific selection of food elements makes Grape-Nuts good and valuable. Its delicious flavor and powerful nourishing properties have made friends that in turn have made Grape-Nuts famous. "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Walt's Well." in press.

The marriage is the sequel to the most curious courtship on record at least in the Iowa courts. It began with a fight, lingered up with police court episodes, court proceedings, insane hearings and violated injunctions. In his marriage of Miss Human Peyton is violating an injunction with the judge, a few months ago, and is liable to a heavy fine and jail sentence. Academic Frank G. Geotell and Miss Nelle Tool of this city, both very prominent and popular young people, changed the date of their marriage after the wedding announcements were sent out, because their friends frightened them to send flowers to them, and then to give them a helium-moon trip. He talked it over with the young woman, and stealing a march on their friends, they were married here at half past ten o'clock the night before the day set for the wedding, and a half hour later were on their way to Chicago.

Unable to Do Even Housework Because of Kidney Troubles Mrs. Margaret Emmerich, of Clinton St., Napoleon O., says: "For fifteen years I suffered from kidney troubles. My back pained me terribly. Every turn or move caused sharp, shooting pains. My eyesight was poor, dark spots appeared and I had dizzy spells. For ten years from kidney troubles. My back palmed me terribly. Every time we cried sharp, shooting palms. My eyesight was poor, dark spots appeared before me, and I had dizzy spells. For ten years I could not do housework, and for two years did not get out of the house. The kidney secretions were irregular, and doctors were not helping me. Doctor Kidney Pills brought me quick relief, and finally cured me. They saved my life." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. CAME PRETTY FAST FOR PAT. At That, He Had Had Only What the Doctor Ordered. A Philadelphia physician says that not long ago he was called to see an Irishman, and among other directions told him to take an ounce of whisky three times a day. A day or so later he made another visit and found the man, while not so sick, undeniably drunk. "How did this happen?" the physician demanded of Pat's wife, who was hovering about solicitation. "Sure, dochter, an 'tis just what you ordered, an 'n' no more, that he had," she protested. "I said one ounce of whisky three times a day; that could not make him drunk," the physician said. "He has had much more than that." "Divil a drop more, dochter, dear," she declared. "Sure an 'n' didn't drink, but an ounce was no oint wint to the drug store an 'a' asked, an 'l' lad—he's a broth of a boy, too—told me that an ounce was 16 drams and Pat has had tighter regular, an 'n' no more!"—Harper's Weekly.

Five minutes after the tardy gong had struck, the principal of the school was walking through the lower hall when he saw a pudgy little fellow scammering toward the first grade room as fast as his fat legs could carry him. "See here, young man, I want to talk to you," called the principal to the late comer. "I hain't got time to talk to you; I'm late already," replied the breathless beginner as the door of his classroom closed—The Circle. A Country Marvel. The little fresh air boy was comfortably quartered in a farm house near the salt water for his summer's outing. The first day he strolled down the road to the marshes and he stared in astonishment at the cat-tails growing there. Then turning around to a native of the place who was accompanying him he said: "Gosh; I didn't know that sagswegs仓 on sticks." Left Army for Pork Trade Aladar Stolinicki, an aristocrat leutenant, of a Hungarian hussar re- gnent, has resigned his commission to the Hungarian army and is in Budapest.

Fasters have gone without food for many days at a time but no one can go without sleep. "For a long time I have not been sleeping well, often lying awake for two or three hours during the night but now I sleep sound every night and wake up refreshed and vigorous," says a Calif. woman. "Do you know why? It's because I used to drink coffee but I finally cut it out and began using Postmum. Twice since then I have drank coffee and both times I passed a sleepless night, and so I am doubly convinced coffee caused the trouble and Postmum removed it. My brother was in the habit of drinking coffee three times a day. He was troubled with sour stomach and I would often notice him getting soda from the can to relieve the distress in his stomach; lately hardy a day passed without a dose of soda for relief. "Finally he tried a cup of Postum and licked it so well he gave up coffee and since then has been drinking Postum in its place and says he has not once been troubled with sour stomach." Even after this lady's experience with coffee her brother did not suspect for a time that coffee was causing his sour stomach, but easily proved it. Coffee is not suspected in thousands of cases just like this but it's easily proved. A ten day's trial works wonders. "There's a Reason."

INTERNATED IN OTHER LOGS OF SCHOOL WORK, WRITE US FULLY UP WITH THE TIMES. Oklahoma City Surpriased Narrow- Minded New Yorker. Oklahoma amazes an easterner. The wide, asphalted streets, the plate glass fronts of department stores, the clean sidewalks, the well-dressed, unhurried shoppers, the final, the metropolitan air you find in Oklahoma City, for example, seem marvels to find in a territory only 17 years old. But do not say go. A New Yorker who went there on business complained that fate was thrusting him into a wilderness, and his Oklahoma associates could not reassure him. But coming down to breakfast the first morning, at his hotel in Oklahoma City, he stared around in wonder as he entered the dining-room. "This," he exclaimed, "this is Oklahoma! Why, do you know?" concluding, "I ever found a porcelain bathub in my room." "Well," said an Oklahomaan, drilly, "don't you have those in New York!" BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING. Rash Covered both and Feet—Would Cry Until Tired Out—Speedy Cure by Cucicura. "My baby was about nine months old when she had rash on her face and feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her most, especially nights. They would cause her to be broken in her rest, and sometimes she would cry until she was tired out. I had heard of so many cures by the Cuticura Remedies that I thought I would give them a trial. I had seen a wound in a few hours, and before I had used one box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet were well and have never troubled her since. I also used it to remove what is known as 'cradle cap' from her head, and it worked like a charm, as it cleansed and healed the scalp at the same time.
