SPECIAL SESSION OE The calling together of a special session of Congress last week by President Taft to revise the tariff schudules will be watched with more interest than ever before for the Republican party was elected on a plaffarm pledge to reduce the tariff and now the American Congress is in special sessionfor that specific purpose.

It is the first time in the history of the State that Negroes have held such positions, and is largely through Mr. Harris and his paper that the bann be has let down.

OBITUARY. A Promising Young Man, Gone Bert Clark beloved son of Rev. and Mrs. T. A. Clark of Chicago, Ill. died in Durango, Co., March 18, 1909, after an illness of a few days, the remains were brought to Chicago and the funeral services were held from the residence of his parents at 8000 Forest avenue Monday March 15th, at 11 a.m. Rev. Trophy Reeves, officiated assisted by Rev. D. P. Roberts, A. J. Carey, H. E. Stewart, R. E. Wilson and J. S. Woods. Interment was at Graceland cemetery. Bert Otis Clark was born in Litchfield, Ill., Oct., 23rd 1883. He died at the age of 26 years 4 months and 11 days. In 1894 his parents moved to Des Moines, where Bert attended the public schools and the East Des Moines High school for three years. In 1900 his parents moved to Sioux City, IA, where he attended Morningside College for one year. From there they moved to Chicago in 1901, when Bert returned to Des Moines to complete his course in the East Des Moines High school from which he graduated in 1902. He was the only colored boy and was the class historian. During his last year in High School he contracted a heavy cold which settled on his lungs and from the effect of which he never fully recovered. After graduating he returned to Chicago where he remained for three years. In 1906 he went to Colorado, on account of falling health, his health began to improve quite rapidly and he took the examination for railway man clerk and passed with an excellent average. He was soon appointed on the Denver Rio Grande Railway and served in this capacity for a little over two years up to the time of death. He lived a Godly and exemplary life and was loved by all who knew him. The end came peacefully and painfully. He went not like the quarry slave at night secured to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed by on unfaltering treat, approached his grave like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams. He leaves a mother, father, three brothers, two sisters and a host of friends to mourn his loss. LAYMEN MEET. A great parliament of laymen of the state of Iowa met in Des Moines on the 23-25th inst. Seven hundred men were present it was an inter-denominational movement. Gov. B. F. Carroll and Bishop T. T. Morrison of Iowa, J. Cambell White of Calcutta, India, Col. Halford of Washington, D.C., J. H Garrison, of St. Louis, J. M. Springer, of Central Africa, A. L. Warshins, of China, G. H. Huizinga of India were among the noted speakers. This was a great uprising of men of men of all denominations to go forward together, to win the world for Christ, and to increase the intelligence and interest of men in church work. Every one who attended the meetings went away with a greater desire to be used by God to make the world better. As a race we are continually crying about being kept out of various places, how is it that so many of our people keep themselves from places where they can learn of the greatest of all work, viz, the leading of mankind to Christ, Let us be more and more identified with those who can teach us the things that will make us men and women such as God will be pleased with. As a representative of the Negro race I regret that more of our representative men did not attend the great parliament of laymen. Men in the name of God open your eyes and see, and your ears and hear. The World demands that we be alive. H. W. PORTER. Danger in a Cold Because you have contracted ordinary cold and recovered from them without treatment of any kind, do not for a moment imagine that you will be sick from the mona, but also the infectious diseases such as diphtheria, scarlet fever start with a cold. The cold prepares the system for the reception and development of the germs of the cold. Our air curtains care your cold while you can. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy by his remarkable cure of colds has become a staple article of trade and commerce. It is promptly it is effective it is reliable. Try it. College Courses in Politics. To Columbia university belongs the credit course signed to give students a practical knowledge of the conduct of political affairs. That institution has asked the bureau of municipal research in New York to give the members of the class the benefit of the experience it has derived from the study of the akko. The course has been accepted. The growing demand for the adoption of the scientific methods of city governments lends support to the view that college men will be in demand in this department of the public service, hence the propriety and usefulness of a university course established on the lines located by the Innovation at Columbia. Haitians a Lazy Lot. Sydney Brooks, writing to the London Chronicle about Haiti, says the Haitians were the first people in the world to abolish slavery, and Mrs. C. R. Miller, writing in Leslie's Weekly, says of Haiti: "In that little republic, covering about 10,000 square miles, within five days' sail of New York, one may encounter more strange complications and a greater disregard for human life than in the remote countryside. It is situated in the very heart of the West Indies, civilization exists in a high degrees, Haiti alone has kept her doors closed to progress. She became an independent state more than 100 years ago. Her rich lands were already under cultivation, but the laity natives allowed the plantations to go to ruin, and forests have grown up instead." Farm Employment for Criminals. Gov. Harris of Ohio believes that criminals can be employed on a farm with advantage to themselves and the state. He proposes that prisoners in the penitentiary who are not confined criminals be transferred to the reformatory and put to work on the state farm. "It is the conditions of our cities that breed crime," says the governor. "We can be traced to the plantations and drink, and it is frequently the cause of drink. There is little drink in the country and practically no idleness. If the young man who had slipped over the bounds of a law were taught scientific farming he would come to like it and escape the associates who carry him down when he returns to the city." Milk inhospitable. New York City, 340,000 square miles; $400,000 square miles; we drink 2,300,000 cups of milk; this does not include mothers' milk for infants; just cows' milk—watered and unwatered, for both infants and adults; "Milk," says Emerson, "is readily made intoxicating in warm climates simply by agitation. This feature was quickly discovered." Being placed in a skin and slung from the shoulder or over the back, it was agitated by the motion of the hunter, and fermentation was soon well under control. Some milk, some none too clean, some milk of the previous day being left in it, which would act as a leaven. Rare Washington Portrait. A rare and curious meszotion portrait of George Washington in the library of the late Lafayette S. Richardson of Lowell, Mass., was auctioned off last year in Boston. It is entitled "George Washington, late president of the United States of America, etc." and was published March 14, 1801, by J. Hinton Linden. It is a small folio and is colored by hand. It looks as much like George III. as it does the Father of His Country, Baker, who wrote the "Engraved Portraits of the American Revolution," a pression of this meszotion has come under the notice of the writer. It was in neither the Clarkson nor the Carson sale of Washington portraits. Charles Christadoro, an expert on flour and grains, sounds the keynote of the new situation brought about by the bleached flour decision when he says in a communication to the editor commenting on the bleached flour decision: "The housewife will now insist on yellow tinted or creamy flour, and will learn to realize that a natural flour very white can in no manner compare with the creamy or yellow flour in so far as glutens and muscle building values are concerned. "As from 85 to 90 per cent, of the large flour mills of the country were using this bleaching process, the decision is far-reaching."—National Food Magazine. Protective Device When a telephone line is electrostatically charged the telephone acts as a condenser. The winding serves as one plate of the condenser, the frame of the receiver as the dielectric and the person who is holding the receiver to his ear as the other plate of the condenser. In order to prevent this condenser from discharging through a German laver, provides a grounded metallic cover for the receiver, the capacity of which is somewhat greater than that of the body. Large Gatch of Herring. The east coast herring fishing has been brought to a close and the boats are being rapidly made up and the crews paid off. At Yarmouth and Lowtraft the total catch has been, in round figures, 73,780 lasts, or 1,011,153,000 fish. What that resultual value is difficult to estimate, but at three a penny—and seldom are they ever hawkered—it is worth out at £1,609,463—London News Oe ER ORAM Cog MME TS REMERON A Ce ree.

HEARING ON RESUBMISSION Des Moines.-Anticipating the hearing upon the Meredith prohibition resolution in the Iowa state, crowds of visitors are at the state house. From all over the state have come prohibitionists and anti-prohibitionists, church workers and politicians, idealists and men who are peculiarly practical in their views of legislation. The senate chamber is crowded to capacity during the hearing before the senate and the legislature for amendments. The opponents of prohibition talk against favorable action by the committee, and a part of the hearing will be given over to the prohibitionists. This gathering will go down in Iowa legislative and political history and will be long remembered for its influence upon the prohibitory statutes of the commonwealth, regardless of the outcome of the present war over the Meredith resolution. Prohibition and temperance forces are leagged in the support of the measure, and opposed to it by business men from different parts of the state. Some opponents of the prohibition are present. Few active liquor dealers are present among the opponents of the resolution and among their leaders there is a tendency to criticise the newspapers of the state for referring conveniently to the opponents of the prohibition amendments as "the liquor men." Many Translents at Asylums. Condemnation of the policy of hiring transient attendants in the state insane hospitals and of the punorious policy of paying attendants salaries from only $25 to $30 per month will be a feature of the report of the committee from the house of representatives named to investigate charges of cruelty in the insane hospitals. The committee has returned from a visit to Clarinda and Mount Pleasant, where, the members say, much evidence was uncovered, some indicating needless cruelty to inmates and some indicating that such charges are largely unfounded. Indefinitely Postponed. The bill by Allen of Pocahontas provides for the inspection of all county and city jails under direction of the board of control, introduced a few days ago in the senate, was short lived. The senate committee on cities and towns recommended indefinite postponement of any action. Members of the committee (thought the inspection ordered by the courts on the part of grand juries every time they sit to be sufficient. Nonpartisan Elections. Senator Fruden expects to introduce a bill which will provide that in cities of the first and second classes and cities under special charters, nomination and election of city officials shall be made in accordance with the commission plan. The object of this measure is to provide for city governments administered by non-partisan corps of officials. To Get Interest on Deposits. The house passed the Dowell bill requiring banks to pay interest on county deposits. The same bill was introduced in the house by Representative Hunter of Polk county but the senate acted first and the Dowell bill was substituted. It was amended in the house to require 2 per cent interest on only 90 per cent of the average daily balance. Anti-Frat Bill In. The senate committee on schools has introduced a bill which provides that there shall be no "frots" in public schools. The custom of "rushing" high school senior classmates who are planning college careers is also barred by the bill, and any college fraternity man who is found guilty must, on conviction, pay a fine of from $2 to $10. To Kill Off Brown Tail Moth. The brown tail moth is to be the subject of investigation under legislative sanction in Iowa, from all appearances. The senate passed the Gilliland bill making an appropriation of $100,000 to use in studying this little fruit destroying insect and securing its eradication. Do Wolf Bill Passed. It is surely going to be a State Teachers' college instead of State Normal school. The house passed the De Wolf bill for change in name of the institution after amending it to make it read State Teachers' college. The bill, as it left, the senate, changed the name to State Normal college. WILL Make Appointments. Already Governor Carroll has been besieged by those who would be placed on the educational board of control of the school. Friends who would be placed on those boards. The governor will make the appointments within the coming few days, as they are to be approved by the senate. Ad Bill Killed. The senate committee on public health reported for indefinite postponement of the publication in newspapers of alleged "objectionable" diving. . . Kidnapera on Scaffold. Death for kidnappers in the drastic penalty provided for kidnappers in a bill introduced in the house by Fullam of Muscatine. Fullam insists that only the most vigorous steps will put an end to what he regards as the most infamous crime in the category. He polls to the number of children who have been stolen and never recovered during the past twenty-five years and says the time has come to make an example of those that are captured. At present the penalty in town is from ten years to life improvement. School Matam Bill Fixed Up. Senator Adams has perfected his bill providing for life certificates for school teachers, which is now in the hands of a sub-committee, and hopes to get early action upon it by the senate committee on schools. The secretary of the giving of certificates without examination to persons who have completed a four years' high school course, or its equivalent, and to persons who have completed a college course. In order that there may be no question about the course of the high school graduate the school must reach a standard approved by the state board of examiners. The section relating to college graduates has been stricken out, so the law will remain as it now is with reference to this. The college graduate now receives a second grade certificate for two years, and by successful teaching he may work into a third grade certificate, a means of holding up the standard in another way the bill requires that the persons holding a second grade certificate must show in addition to the five years' experience an average on examinations of not less than 85 per cent and in no study less than 75 per cent, in order to secure a life certificate. Banking Laws to be Revised. Revision of the banking laws of Iowa in a manner that places both state and savings banks on the same footing is being attempted by the committee on banks and banking of the house of representatives of the general assembly. Most important of the changes in the law sought in the giving savings banks the privilege of securities outside of the state. This provision is guarded by the requirement that the loan shall not be in excess of 40 per cent of the value as appraised by four disinterested persons. Six bank examiners are provided for under the proposed statute instead of four, the number now in the service. As a bill is now pending in the legislature which has for its end the rejection of the proposed bill, the office of the auditor of state to that of the state treasurer, the revision bill is drawn with that in view, although as introduced it names the auditor as the supervising officer. Bill Hite Swindlers. Swindlers who tie up the Iowa farmer—or merchant or banker or lawyer—with fraudulent contracts for nursery trees, land sales, lightning rods, books or cheap jewelry will no longer be permitted to bring suit at their headquarters in the other end of the state and force the farmer to pay up rather than leave home to defend himself. A bill which probably will do more to put a stop to swindling of this variety than any law on the statute books was passed by the house of representatives. It was introduced and supported by Representative Cooper of Jasper county, and provides that the defendant in a suit to recover on a contract may secure a change in the place of trial to his home county by pleading fraud and putting up a reasonable bond with his local court. Utility Bill Reported for Passage. Senator Smith's public service gilly commission bill has been reported for passage by the senate committee on railroads. The Sammis bill on the same proposition, but drawn along different lines, is in the hands of the committee on cities and towns, where a sub-committee is going over it. The Smith bill places only railroads, telegraphs and telephones under the commission and makes the body appointive instead of elective. Civil Rights BILL Lost. With nine votes opposing it and twenty-one senators failing to answer to their names on the roll call, Senator Clarkson's civil rights bill was lost in the senate, and there will not be any law enacted at the present legislative session to compel incorporated schools to enroll wouldbe students regardless of race. The bill received nineteen votes, seven short of the number required for its passage. Search for Cigarettes Search warrants will be obtainable in Iowa by persons who have reason to believe that the law regarding the sale of cigarettes and cigarette materials is being violated. The bill introduced by Representative Kunter Poll count and framed by John Hampton helped by Representative club movement, was passed by the senate in practically the same form in which it passed the house. Roads BILL Defeated The only good roads bill that seemed likely to pass the lower house of the Iowa legislature was defeated through the indifference of members, more than thirty of whom were away from their desks when the roll was called. It was Representative Dodd's bill permitting the creation of road improvement districts and the levying of a 2 mill tax by the board of supervisors, both for the construction of permanent roads. Wante More Support. President Storms of the state college at Ames appeared before the appropriations committee of the house and urged an increase in the recommendations of the committee for additional support. Dr. Storms declared that schools in other states are forging ahead, while the college at Ames is losing its best men because their salaries cannot be increased, and that the outlook is almost discouraging unless the support fund is boosted by at least a $50,000 annual increase. Voting Machines to be Used. Voting machines now owned by Polk county will be used at the primary, so the Koontz bill, passed by the Iowa senate provides. The present voting machine statute does not permit their use at primaries, but the Koontz bill fixes it. The bill had already passed the house. Hold Night Sessions. Representative Cunningham has prepared a resolution that the house of representatives hold night sessions the remainder of the assembly. PREVENTING PAINT TROUBLES It's easy enough to recognize the symptoms of poor paint, after it has been on awhile—after its inherent tendency to crack and peel and scale and blister, etc., has developed into trouble. You know these paint "disease" usually indicate adulteration or substitution in the paint materials. And you know the only remedy is re-painting. A little knowledge of paint and painting requirements, and how to make sure of the parity and quality of materials, would prevent all trouble, and save the big extra expense of re-painting; just as a proper knowledge of simple health laws, and observance of them, prevents sickness. A complete painting guide, including a book of color schemes, specifications for all kinds of painting work, and an instrument for detecting adulteration in paint materials with the ability to can be had free by writing National Lead Co., 1902 Trinity Bldg, New York, and asking for Houseowner's Painting Outfit No. 49. A very simple guide in the pur- chase of white lead (the only sure and safe paint material) is the fa- mous "Dutch Boy Painter" trademark; that trademark is an absolute guar- tee of purity and quality. Bank Balance and Independence. Business women have evolved the idea of saving, and the thrity incentive was not inspired by their brothers, but rather envelopes the girl with pendence which evolves the girl with $300 or $400 to her credit and spurs her can to add more and more to the reserve. Breaking the News Gently. A good example of, the extremely courteous in public correspondence was the notice sent to Charles James Fox that he was no longer a member of the government of George the Third. It read thus: "His gracious majesty has been pleased to issue a new commission, in which your name does not appear."

In a Canadian town a few days ago a dry goods firm was burned out in the morning. In the afternoon a competing firm inserted the following advertisement in a local paper: "We desire to extend our sympathy to our respected competitors in their loss by fire and to express the hope that their affairs may soon be so adjusted as to enable them to continue business without undue loss of time." She Had Tested the Oyster. The dog, the pet of the household, was very fond of oysters, and after eating her lunch of oysters and crackers she thought of her dear mother busy at her sewing machine. She selected a large oyster, put it in a plate and carried it to her mother, who, pleased with her little daughter's thoughtfulness, ate the oyster and said: "It is most as good as my little girl." "Yes, answered Dora. "I know it is good 'cause I liked it all the way from the kitchen."—The Dellineler. Some Resemblance. A little girl in a California public school complained to her teacher that a Mexican boy had struck her. The teacher took Joe, the only Mexican boy in the school, sharply to task for the offense, but the boy denied it. "Mary," said the teacher, "Joe says he didn't strike you." "Oh," said Mary, "twan Joe; that hurt Mary over there," and she pointed to the blackest of negro boys in the school. "But, Mary, that boy isn't a Mexican," said the teacher. "Well, anyhow," said Mary, "he's very much tanned." Why She Shrut Down. "A charming gentleman about four years old, used to pass my house every day on his way to kindergarten," said a lady, "and in course of time I made his acquaintance and gave a penny to him each morning when we parted. "Eventually his mother requested me not to give any more money to him. The next morning I did not present the usual penny. He did not seem to notice the omission. The succeeding day, when the penny was not not present, he did the morning of the third day, when the penny was not forthcoming, he sidied up to me and whispered: 'What's the matter. Aln't your husband working?" LESS MEAT Advice of Family Physician. Formerly people thought meat necessary for strength and muscular vigor. The man who worked hard was supposed to require meat two or three times a day. Science has found out differently. It is now a common thing for a family physician to order less meat as in the following letter from a N. Y. man who suffered for years with dyspepsia and nervousness. My physician advised me to eat less meat and greasy foods generally. I tried several things to take the place of my usual breakfast of chops, fried potatoes, etc., but got no relief until I tried Grape-Nuts food. "After using Grape-Nuts for the cereal part of my meals for two years, I am now a well man. Grape-Nuts benefited my health far more than the $500.00 worth of medicine I had taken before." "My wife and children are healthier than they had been for years, and we are a very happy family, largely due to Grape-Nuts." "We have been so much benefited by Grape-Nuts that it would be ungrateful not to acknowledge it." Name given by Postm Co. Battle Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Wellville," in pugs.

They are greeting, true, and full of human One of the Important Duties of Physicians and the Well-Informed of the World is to learn as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufacturers of medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of its product, has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy. TRUTH AND QUALITY appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent success and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is allike important to present truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won the approval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed, because of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufacture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only. This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of—Syrup of Figs—and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial effects always note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for—Syrup of Figs—or by the full name—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. and the same heretofore known by the name—Syrup of Figs—which has given satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout the United States, in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which is fifty cents per bottle.

The dream of an unknown Kansas editor: She was dressed in green, and a serpent of old gold and with red eyes encircled her arm. Her hair was very black and hoose. Her eyes, black and deep, seemed to search me through as she held my hand in hers and looked up from the palm she had been reading. "Your death will come suddenly," she said. "Will it be a railroad colliston or a hotel fire?" we inquired. "I cannot say," she said, "but it will be so sudden as to be painless."

Du Hois says that the Negro does not want to bleach his soul in the blood of white Americans, for the Negro knows that the Negro blood has a message for the world, he wants instead to make it possible for man to be an American and Negro, without being cursed and spat upon by his fellows and without having the door of opportunity roughly closed in his face. When the Negro is asked to state his complaint against the South and the reasons for migration to the north, the answer comes promptly "I cannot get justice in your country. I am politically disfranchised, I find a lack of good school facilities, I find Jim Crow cars and by that I mean separate cars in which the Negroes have to ride, and the whites may ride if they choose, and lastly I am in danger of physical violence." Then the question follows why do you go north? And his answer is "Because I enjoy better educational facilities and enjoy comparative freedom." But while the Negro has the above mentoined advantages, he is never-theless terribly handicapped, he is heild back and cannot rise to a position which his capabilities would entitle if not for his color. This causes much discouragement among the Negro who after fitting themselves for life find their opportunities cut off. To illustrate, an electrical company of New York sent out a communication months ago stating that they could use some bright clean industrial boys in their business and thus aid them in learning the trade, W. L. Buckley, principal of sc:00 number 30 New York, wrote a note to them asking if they would give employment to colored boys, and their answer was this, no colored boy however promising is wanted. Is that not that discouraging and all because of color? Again a colored engineer who ran out of Indianapolis and who met with much favor from the company was forced to give his position because he was a Negro. But there are many places in the north that give the Negro the place he can earn despite the fact that there is discrimination made against him the unions rarely admit a colored man, yet the Meddle Steel Company overpowers this and employs the largest number equal to a thousand they take these men unappreciated and make them foreman and give them other good positions as soon as their skill permits, these men do not drink and they have their own bank accounts. The progress made by race in the last 45 years is a marvelous one, men and women are occupying responsible positions in Chicago. New York and elsewhere among whom are plumbers, nurses, teachers, musicians, electricians, pattern makers, artists, doctors, editors, clergymen, scientists, bankers and lawyers, and many of the plumbers are employing their own help colored. George A. Harrison a pattern maker receive the highest salary in the business he graduated at the head of a class of 60 members. Among the most prominent men of this country are Henry Tanner, the famous painter, who picture the "Association," recently captured N. A. Harris prize at Chicago and was purchased by the French Government and now hangs at Luxurburg; A. Scarborough whose Greek textbook is used at Howard University and many other colleges to day. Judge Church Terrell is a District of College and his wife a lecturer and a member of the Oberline College board of trustees; William T. Vernon is register of the United States Treasury; also there are 297 in the retail business men; the Negroes own over three million dollars worth the hotel in Boston they own the Hotel hotel with 250 rooms and telephone service in each room and all other modern improvements; there are 200 magazines and newspapers published by the Negro; schools and universities and beautiful edifices of worship are constantly being erected by them, and all of this from a race but 45 years out of slavery and that slavery covering a period of 200 years. Many broad minded people are working to give the Negro-his proper place in the world. Miss Adeen of Boston; Mrs. Parker-Wooley of Chicago, both white have devoted their lives to the Negro and his welfare and much settlement work is being carried on; the colored women's clubs of Chicago have organized a day nursery to take care of the poor unfortunate children whose parents are unable to care for them. George A. Feenbady a London Banker, but born in Danvers. Mass, gave $2,500,000 is as a fund to educate the Negro, and the Slater fund of $1,000,009 is also used in this way. It is often stated that the Negro given equality in business lines he will demand it socially but this is not true. I do not think there are many Negroes in the United States who desire such, he is looking for the place where he is will be judged as a man, it is a tremendous struggle, the struggle of a backward race with the swift moving civilization of an advanced one. No one can look upon it without profound faction. Port Arthur and the battles of Manchuria bloody as they were are not to be compared with this for the Negro is not fighting Russians, but the Americans the English, Germans, Irish, Jews, slaves and all of those who make up this great nation of ours in America. How long this struggle is to last no one knows, but we hope before long to take our place beside our white brothers and as men and women, push on in the swift race counseling ourselves with the noble thought of Napoleon, ability is but of little account without opportunity.

"He has achieved success who has lived long, laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men, and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty nor failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction."—Bessie A.

Ancient Uses of Bloodhounds. Although the use of bloodhounds for tracking criminals still survives, another ancient use of these dogs seems to have died out. Bloodhounds were at one time often called upon to assist an army in the field, the forces with which the earl of Essex suppressed the Irish rebellion in the time of Elizabeth, for instance, being accompanied by 800 dogs. In the Scotch England and Scotland bloodhounds were regularly employed in tracking fugitive warriors, and both Wallace and Bruce were hunted in this manner. Wallace is said to have baffled his pursuers by killing a follower and leaving the corpse for the hound to find, while Bruce adopted the less cruel plan of wading some distance down a stream and ascending a tree which overhung the water.

Buried in the heart of a civilized, powerful and progressive foreign people, a little handful of Indians have lived for centuries and have kept during all that time their national characteristics, their traditions and their individuality. If you seek them you will find them in Amatian de los Reyes, a village in the state of Vera Cruz, Mexico. They are the Amatecas. The Amatecas are perhaps the only people in the republic who have succeeded in retaining for 'henselves what is practically self-government. Willing to Oblige.

Good Cough Medicine for Children: The season for coughs and colds is now at home and too much care cannot be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to contract diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk.

This remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to a child as to an adult. For sale by all drugstores. ORIGINAL NOTICE.

While it is often quite painful, quick relief may be had by applying Chamberlain's Liniment. Not one case of rheumatism in men requires internal treatment.

A good remedy for sleeplessness it to wet a towel and apply to the back of the neck, pressing it hard up against the base of the brain and fastening over this cloth to prevent too rapid evaporation. The effect will be prompt and pleasant, cooling the brain and inducing a sweet and peaceful slumber. Warm water is better than cold for the purpose. This remedy will prove useful to people suffering from overwork, excitement or anxiety. 1 When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds; rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that theirs is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO. We advise you to use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oidest and best of its kind.) See that the name PORO is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by Mrs. A. M. POPE.
