The Oldest Fraternal Organization in the city of St. Louis, Mo., pay $22,500 for Three-Story building—Home for Sixteen Lodges. tesa, stewards, stewardesses and deacons. In behalf of the church and its members the keys of the new church were presented by J. E. Webb one of the trustees in a neat little speech. The Bishop in return accepted the keys and proceeded to the dedication ceremony, which is said by all that heard it, that it was the most impressive service they ever listened to, not-withstanding the Bishop's illness. Dancing and cards were the feast of the evening. The first prize whist was won by Mrs. Matt Bodgett, second prize Leon Tylee Mrs. John Trent won the Booby. Present were Mr. and Mrs. Geo. T. Mr. and Mr. Geo. Parker, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Keith, Mr. and Mrs. Trent, Mr. and Mrs. A. Pleasant, and Mrs. C. Badgett, Mesdames in The purchase of the handmade three-story brick structure at 3615 Easton avenue, known as Ekaton avenue Hall building for $22,500 by the Negro Masonic Hall Association, for investment and fraternal meeting purposes, is another milestone in the record of material progress of our people in St. Louis. Within the last five years the Knights of Pythias, at 8137 Pine; the United Brothers of Friendship, at 2629 Lawton avenue; the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, at 2629 Morgan street; Widow's Son Lodge, at 2720 Morgan street; the True Reformers, at 2800 Pine street, the Colored Young Men's Christian Association, at 2702 Lawton avenue; Douglass Hall and Building Association, at 2845 Lawton avenue, and the Provident Hospital Association, at 2824 Lawton avenue, have made property investments of a similar nature in the district, between Jefferson and Grand avenues. In addition they have acquired several large churches, at prices ranging from $35,000 to $60,000. Although the last to purchase a home, the Masonic Fraternity is the oldest of the orders in St. Louis, its first lodge Prince Hall Lodge No. 1, being over sixty years old. The order has an active membership of over 1500, among whom are many of the oldest and most substantial people of the city. The purchase was made for the association by a committee composed of Capt. William H. Butler, Dr. A. W. Craddock and Dr. Wm. H. Mansifee. Easton Hall was erected twenty years ago, at a cost of $25,000. Three stores occupy the first floor, the second story is divided into flats, and a large lodge hall, with cloak and committee rooms attached, covers the entire third floor. It is well suited for lodge purposes of the Masonic order. Nine blue lodges, four Royal Arch chapters, four Knight Templars commanderies, one Scottish Rite consistency, one Shriners' temple, five courts of the Herolera of Jericho, five chapters of the Order of Eastern Star, and one Kadasha council, all of which are stockholders of the association, will have permanent headquarters in this building. Capt Butler, chairman of the purchasing committee for the Masons, said: "We do not expect the slightest protest from the people of the neighborhood, for the simple reason that there will be no cause for it. I have lived in the immediate vicinity of the hall for a number of years, and I have never had the slightest friction with my neighbors. The Negro Masonic fraternity is composed of orderly, self-respecting men and women, who are recognized as good citizens, and nothing will be permitted on or about the premises to which any neighbor could offer a protest. For many years our order occupied lodgerooms in the heart of the retail business district at the northwest corner of Fourth and Washington avenue, and no protest was ever filed against us, owing to the orderly and genteel character of our gatherings. The elimination of the Sunday night ball and the sale of intoxicant drinks, which will not be permitted under our management, will be an improvement that will be welcomed by the people of the neighborhood. Dedication of New Church At Evanston, Ill. (Special to Bystander.) Sunday March 21st, 1909, was a great day at Ebenezerze A. M. E. church, Evanston, Ill. The pastor Rev. James Higgins and his excellent board of trustees, Mr. S. J. Cannon, J. E. Webb, Dr. W. F. Garnett, D. Davenport, A. Freely, Joseph Prather, Wm. Lee, Geo. Pressly and W. H. Twiggs, and the co-operation of the members and friends have reason to be proud of their new edifice. At 10:45 a.m m Rev. I. N. Daniels of Aurora, Ill., prescheduled a large and appreciative audience from the subject "The talents the test of fidelity." At 1 p.m, the Sunday school with our superintendent W. H.

T. Shaffer, D. D., M. D., presiding Bishop of the 4th Episcopal district, went at once to the entrance of the church, where he met the trus- You can make every pay-day count for more by buying your clothes and things in Younker's Great Economy Basement.

Webb one of the trustees in a neat little speech. The Bishop in return accepted the keys and proceeded to the dedication ceremony, which is said by all that heard it, that it was the most impressive service they ever listened to, not-withstanding the Bishop's illness. Presiding elder E. G. Jackson of the St. Paul district, an account of the illness of the Bishop prescheduled the dedicatory sermon from the text Isaiah 65: 5. "Mine house shall be called a house of prayer for all the people. Subject, "The house of God," he preached an excellent sermon to a packed house of about 600 people.

E. church were present and made short addresses. Dr. A. J. Carey of Bethel church and Dr. H. E. Stewart of the Institutional took the collection in the afternoon.

Beet Treatment for Colds. *Most ordinary colds will yield to the simplest treatment," says the Chicago Tribune, "moderative laziness, hot foot bath, a free preservation and an avoidance of exposure to cold and wet after treatment." While this treatment is simple, it requires considerable trouble, and the one adopting it must remain in doors for a day or two, or a fresh cold is sure to be contracted, and in many instances pneumonia follows. Is it not better to pin your faith to an old reliable preparation like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, that is famous for its cure of colds and can always be depended upon? For sale by all druggists. MR.

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 12th century, and accompanied by 800 dogs, in the Scottish clan feuds and the wars between 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 corps 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. Large Catch of Herring. The east coast herring fishing has been brought to a close and the boats are being rapidly updied and the crews paid off. At Yarmouth and Lowestoft the oyster catch has been, in spite of the high prices, up to 182,000 fish. What the retail value would be is difficult to estimate, but at three a penny—and seldom are they ever hawked about the streets at a cheaper rate—the sum works out at £1,434. 662—London News.

"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 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."—Bassie A.

McGann of New York for her heroism in the General Slocum disaster of June 15, 1904, when she saved nine children from a terrible death. Medals of honor are thus granted more commonly to men, and in most cases for conspicuous gallantry on the field of battle. There is an organization called the Medal of Honor Legion, and it is composed of officers and enlisted men of the army and navy of the United States who have been decorated in the manner indicated. At the present time the legion has more than 450 members. The conferring of these medals was authorized by a resolution adopted by congress in 1862, in the early part of the civil war. The list of medal of honor men is given a conspicuous place in the official Army Register. The granting of a similar medal to Miss McGann is recognition of bravery quite as commendable as that of soldiers and sailors in action. She worked fearlessly, herself in imminent peril, in rescuing others. What deed of valor could surpass that in merit? Wealthy Englishmen have provided the funds necessary to open a radium institute in London, where for a long time the London hospital has been devoting special attention to the treatment of disease by radium. Striking results have been attained, and although Sir Frederick Treves, the famous surgeon, "begged his medical friends to be cautious as to the way they spoke of permanent cures," he recently declared that many affections of the skin, including birthmarks, together with tumors, cancers and certain types of ulcers, have been removed by radium, "and have not returned." The remedy is applied from a flat surface. One of the instruments in use, which is about as large as a postage-stamp, and contains 90 milligrams—about one and one-third grains—of radium, cost eighteen hundred dollars—a statement that throws an interesting light on the commercial value of this extraordinary substance. Happily, it is added that the new institute, which is designed for both curative and research purposes, will treat the poor as well as the rich, and the needy will not have to pay. It has long been known that red-hat stoves were not always safe if left without a guardian when proviers were around, but the burglar in Los Angeles who picked up a boa constrictor and departed with it for parts unknown made the stove lifter look like an amateur pilferer. Well may the householder ask what is safe if he can't go to bed and leave his favorite boa constrictor basking in front of the hearth, says the Chicago Daily News. If the poor boa must be looked in the safe along with the family diamonds and bargain mining stock, its rest will be broken and it will suffer all the diseases we get from not having enough fresh air. Still, that might be preferable to waking up and finding it in a strange household, where the cooking did not agree with it. The only way out that we can see is for the boa to train itself up to be a watchdog. Friends and admirers of the American Indian will be glad to know that the Carlisle school is making a systematic effort to foster and develop native Indian art, as manifested in drawing, decoration, silverwork and basket and blanket design. The head of the department is an Indian woman of great cultivation and ample education, trained in the best schools of the east. Two of the most promising pupils have received scholarships, which enable them to study at the School of Industrial Art in Philadelphia. The effort at Carlisle is not to graft the art of the white man upon that of the Indian, but to preserve the primitive art native to the red man—an art that was simple, sincere and direct, and had other admirable qualities. President Taft went into office with the record of the world's greatest traveler. A tabulated statement of the distance he has traveled since 1900 fixes the total at more than 202,000 miles. These travels have not been for pleasure or curiosity. In every case they have been in the public interest, and they have also served to make Mr. Taft a familiar personality in foreign lands, and help to explain his popularity abroad and the strong confidence felt in his capacity to strengthen international unity. With Dartmouth college and Clark university looking for new presidents and Radcliffe college and Barnard college each looking for a new dean, there is certainly reason why some prominent educators just now should feel expectant. Two sweetragettes mailed themselves to Premier Asquith, in London, the other day and were refused. But the postal authorities were kind enough not to send them to the dead letter office. The new woman in China, instead of following the example of her English and American sisters in railing against the tyranny of men, has revolted against her relations-in-law. One of the women's clubs in Shanghai proclaims as its object 'rebellion against mothers-in-law.' The Japanese government is waging a successful war on rats by paving torrents, and one brought in and giving them a cloak to a kottery. SCARE NEWORLEANS CRIES ALARM IN EFFORT TO SECURE NAVAL BASE. FLOOBS NATION WITH PLEAS Boosters Try to Show That Cities Are at Mercy of Foreign Foes Washington, D. C., April 9—That all the cities along the Mississippi, from New Orleans to St. Paul, are liable to attack and demolition in case or war with a foreign power is the startling information that is now being disseminated. Not only this, but many cities on the tributaries of the Mississippi, such as Council Bluffs and Sioux City on the Missouri, Cincinnati and Louisville on the Ohio, and many others are in like danger. In the deep water, it is compelled from Chicago to the Mississippi, then Chicago itself will be in danger, and it would not be difficult for foreign gunbots to get up into the great lakes by way of the mouth of the Mississippi and lay waste Milwaukee and its breweries, not to mention numerous other localities. The attention of the country to the danger under which the whole Mississippi valley reposes is being called by propaganda which is being sent out broadcast from New Orleans. It is part of a great movement which has been organized there for the purpose of inducing congress to make an appropriation for a powerful fortified naval base at New Orleans. The arguments used are ingenious and interesting. It is likely a good deal will be heard of the project in congress the coming regular session. Death for Rebel Burials DEATH HAVANA, April S. The decision of the court martial which tried Sergt. Cortes, his son inspiracy on a charge of conspiracy in connection with the recent revolutionary uprising at Vueltas has been announced. Sergt. Cortes and his son were found guilty, and the penalty named was death. Ricardo was acquitted of the charge brought against him. The findings of the court martial were approved by Gen. Montegado, commanding the Rurale Guards, but owing to the fact that the court was unable to take cognizance of extinguishing circumstances it is probable that the death penalty will be remitted.

"They said that I had nervous dye pops. I took the medicine for two years, then I got sick again and gup all hopes of getting cured. "I saw a testimonial of a man whose case was similar to mine, being cured by Perunus, so thought I would give it a trial. I procured a bottle at once, and commenced taking it. "I have taken nineteen bottles, and am entirely cured. I believe Perunus is all that is claimed for it."—Mrs. J. C. Jamison, 11 Marchant St., Wattonsville, Cal. NOT A WEIGHT LIFTER.

Buffalo, N. Y. The Strenuous Blanche. One of Blanche Bates' most intimate friends is telling a rather funny story about this clever actress. "She came into my house one evening very much excited, and I said to her: 'Blanche, for heaven's sake, what is the matter?' You seem to be all gone to pieces. "But rather, she answered, as her voice shook with anger, 'I have been accosted by a man in the streets,' "What did you do? I asked. "I hauled off and hit him in the face, she answered, 'and I said to him: 'You dirty dog, would you speak to a defenseless woman?'" "Where was he when you said this? I was inquired." "Rolling in the gutter where he fell when I hit him, she said, in a surprised tone at my question."—Toledo. Judging by Size. The Georgians of Augusta are chuckling over a new story about Mr. Taft, who drove out one afternoon to see a Georgia planter. The planter's cook, a very old woman, takes no interest in public affairs, and she did not recognize the porty guest. She thought of that gentleman, Martha?" the planter asked, after Mr. Taft had driven off. "Well, sir," old Martha replied, "I can't say as I saw nothin' perticler about him. He looked to me like the kind of man as would be prettier regio to his meals."- Louisville Times. LPC, MCGORR, OR MUSCER The motto of success was given in this tale, told at a banquet: A Swede among the miners in the west was noted for always striking pay dirt. His fellows thought that there must be some secret to the unusual success of the Swede and questioned him as to how he always succeeded in finding the spot where the gold cropped out. "Vell, Ay don't know of Ay can tell anytang 'but daut'," answered Ole. "Ay only know dat Ay must keep on diggh!"—Milwaukee Free Press. SISTER'S - TRICK But It All Came Out Right. How a sister played a trick that brought rosy health to a coffee fiend is an interesting tale: "I was a coffee fiend—a trembling, nervous, physical wreck, yet eliciting to the poison that stole away my strength. I mocked at Postum and would have none of it. "One day my sister substituted a cup of Postum piping hot for my mornings, and did not ask what it was. I noticed the richness of it and remarked that the coffee tasted fine but my sister did not tell me I was drinking Postum for fear I might not take any more. "She kept the secret and kept giving me Postum instead of coffee until I grew stronger, more tireless, got a better color in my sallow cheeks and a clearness to my eyes, then she told me of the health-giving, nerve-strengthening life-saver she had given in place of my morning coffee, of Postum and no words can do justice in telling the good this cereal drink did me. I will not try to tell it, for only having used it can one be convinced of its merits." Ten days' trial shows Postmum's power to rebuild what coffee has destroyed. "There's a Reason." Look in pigs, for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are gentle, tree, and full of humbs. Iowa State News Events of Recent Occurrence Throughout the Commonwealth LINE IS TO BE CONSTRUCTED Promoters Decide to Go Ahead With Short Line. Treynor.—After a session lasting the greater part of one night the subscribers to the guarantee fund for the Iowa and Omaha Short Line railway, voted to proceed, with the work. The proposition received a vote when first submitted, but later was reconsidered and adopted by a majority vote. As soon as it had been agreed to go ahead with the work it was arranged to put surveyors in the field at once. Grade stakes will be set as the line is located. It is estimated that it will require three weeks to complete the survey and that actual work construction will be commenced by him. A representative of an eastern bond house was present at the meeting and announced that there would be no trouble, whatever in financing the road or in placing the bonds. An issue of $100,000 in bonds is contemplated, which will cover the estimated cost of the line. The total amount subscribed is about $85,000. When the bonds are issued the subscribers will be given the money when they are and all not sold to the subscribers can readily be placed in the east, so the promoters were assured. That portion of the line covered by the present plans will be about ten miles long, connecting the town of Treynor with the Wabash at Pony Creek. The action taken insures the completion of the project and there is great rejoicing in consequence. $150,000 for Iowa Ex-Sheriffs. Mason City.—Encouraged by the decision of the district court of Fayette county it is evident that suits will be field by sheriffs and ex-sheriffs for the recovery of large sums of money paid out by them for deputy hire. While the Fayette county case is pending in the supreme court sheriffs are getting ready to institute suit against the counties in which they reside for the money they have paid their deputies. In Kossuth county "Billy" McDonald has filed a claim for $3,000. He is an ex-sheriff. This is about the size of at least fifty other sheriff bills in the state who will immediately proceed to recover if the decision of the Fayette county case is sustained by the supreme court. It is safe to say that the total amount involved in this way in the state will reach $160,000. Max. Success Shanklin. Mason City—There is a strong probability that District Superintendent of Schools Henry F. Kling of Chicago will be elected president of Upper Iowa university, located at Fayette, to succeed Dr. Shanklin, who has gone to Middleton, Conn., to accept the presidency of the college there. For the past three months the board has been engaged in the work of selecting a successor. Eight names were before them. During the meetings held they sifted the names down to eight, and while the board is endeavoring to keep matters pretty well to themselves, it is understood that Henry F. Kling is the high man of the eight. New Humboldt Church. Humboldt—The Christian Scientist of this town will be proceed at once to the building with a substantial church building. A site has been procured in a central location, and the contract will be let forthwith for a church edifice which will be a noteworthy improvement to the town. Cornig Browning Contest. Corning—Miss Clara Taylor, superintendent of public instruction, is starting in to organize a corn contest early this month, and a call all the boys and girls who wish to enter such a contest to meet at her office and start such an organization. The boys and girls are to plant ten acres of corn and tend the same, the best to receive prizes. Murder Case Outlined. Lyons, N. Y—When the trial of Mrs. Georgia Sampson, charged with the murder of her husband, Harry Sampson, was resumed, District Attorney Gilbert outlined the case of the prosecution. Mrs. Carrie LeClaire of Chicago, sister of the defendant, arrived today. Story City Planner is Dead. Story City, Mork. Torkol Henryson, an old and respected planner, peacefully passed away at her home in this city at the age of 86 years. Mrs. Henryson and her husband, who still survives her, and who has just passed her 87th birthday, were married in 1863. In 1863, which year they emigrated from their fatherland, ill., where they resided until 1865, when they moved here, where they have lived continuously since this early day. Old Church Demolished. Alba--The tearing down of the United Presbyterian church to make room for the new $10,000 structure that is to occupy the ground, has caused a great many of the people of the city and county to go back in memory to the time when the church was first erected. At that time it was one of the best church buildings in this part of the state, and its destruction at this time calls to the attention of public the rapid advance of the building for larger and better buildings. Falling Bank of River Leaves Skeletons Exposed. Madrid—An Indian grave yard was disclosed here when part of a steep bank of the Des Moines river weakened with the recent floods and into the water. The recent floods the first to make the discovery. They picked up several bones, and skulls, some Indian beads and two or three queer looking pipes. The river Has been cutting into this hill for years. The recent spring rains caused the slide and uncovered the graves that have been resting in quiet for years. One party has just dug out a full skeleton resembling a female, as the bones are small, and also the skull. At one point a large number of bones were found as though there had been many placed in one grave. There have been found many odd relics, such as were made by that class of people. A large jar that had been made out of some kind of stone, after being washed and cleaned up was just as fresh and clean as the day it was placed in the grave along with its owner. In the inside of this stone jar and the same on the outside, one could see the cutting of some instrument that shaped it for its purposes as plain as the day it was made, and the same on many of the stone hammers that were found. Grant Helice in Iowa. Carroll—C. M. Morris of Coon Rapids, a pioneer of Carroll county and an old sheriff, was making recollections of Glenna Grant and Abraham Lincoln. He knew the former at Galena, Ill., and he treasures among his possessions the copper tablet from the outer box in which Grant's body was carried after death to its final resting place at Riveride Park. Mr. Morris being a member of the escort. He also has in his possession a certificate of membership in the Soldiers' Monument association of Davis county, of which Grant was president and which was signed by him shortly after his return from his trip around the world. He also carries as a keepsake a metal disk. This he received in 1859 during Lincoln's candidacy for president. He was present at the Lincoln-Douglas debate at Freeport and heard him speak on several other occasions. To Eight For An Estate TO FIGHT FOR AN ERA Mason City — there will be a detention for the possession or a division of the estate of the late O. B. Morse of Grand Meadows, Minn., was evidenced by the relatives here who caused suit to be filed in the Mower county, Minnesota, court objecting to the probate of the will. The estate is valued at $100,000 and the bulk of it went to Mrs. C. W. Martin of Grand Meadows, who is a niece and is the nearest relative of the deceased. Distant relatives are Nellie P. Jackson and Mrs. Fannie Smith, living near Conn., and Miss Alice Pollock of Austin, Minn. The land composing the estate lies along the state line and is considered fine property. Three prominent law firms from Rochester, Northfield and Austin and a. firm from Northwood have been retained. Humboldt Wants Court House. Humboldt—The question of a new court house for Humboldt county is receiving lively agitation here. The present one is entirely inadequate to the growing needs of the county. The county now has to rent inside rooms for three of its officers, and the vault room is rarely insured. A new collection of records. Before a new court house is planned, however, a relocation of the county seat is a foregone conclusion. Nobody thinks of erecting a new structure for county purposes anywhere but in Humboldt, which has long been virtually the county seat, although the adjoining corporation of Dakotah City has nominally held the title. New St. Paul Bridge M'Gregor—As further evidence that this division will be made by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, their main line to the coast, is their plans which have now been perfected to put in a bridge at McGregor, which is to cost $1,000,000. The plans are now completed for this structure and work will be commenced as soon as affairs can be shaped. The government is going to work pretty soon to remove the old piling which has stood in the river ever since the Lawler pontoon was first constructed and have been used as ice breaks. This is to be the most costly bridge spanning the Mississippi. Dies of Cancer of the Face. Knoxville—Mrs. W. E. Hyer of West Knoxville is dead of cancer of the face. She suffered severely for more than four years, and during that time lost her nose, right eye and practically all of the right side of the face from the inroads of the dread disease. Hoping for C. G. W. Shops. Fort Dodge. - Fort Dodge is on the qui vile anticipating the return of the Great Western shops, moved to Clarion a few years ago. Officials of the road are propheying the change in the road's design and standpoint it is most practical and advisable. Frequent visits of Northwestern railroad officials to this city and the gathering of data by them of freight tonnage to and from the city, seem to indicate serious consideration on their part of building a branch to Fort Dodge $401 for County Courthouse. Muscatine — "Jim, what will you give for this?" said Auctioneer Bato to James Seldon as he made an effort to get a good figure for the structure that has been the hall of justice for Muscatine county for more than a quarter of a century. The dollars, replied the contractor, who had just appeared on the scene, "Going, going, gone to James Seldon," said the auctioneer, and Mr. Seldon became owner of the structure in which the business of Muscatine county has been irre-acted THE CRACKING OF PAINT. Do you know what is wrong when paint peels, or cracks, or otherwise necessitates premature re-painting? Well, sometimes it hasn't been properly applied—the surface being damp or there being too much turpentine or too much drier. But, nine times out of ten, the trouble is caused by adulterated white lead. To avoid, all such trouble, every houseowner should know in a general way, when a surface is in proper condition to receive paint, what kind of primer and finishing coats different surfaces require, and how to avoid adulteration in materials. A complete painting guide, including a book of color schemes, specifications for all kinds of painting work, and an instrument for detecting adulterations in painting materials, with directions for using it, can be had free by writing National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg., New York, and asking for Houseowner's Painting Outfit No. 49. This book contains the largest makers of paint, the largest lead, invite tests, by means of the blowpipe (included in outfit), or in any other way, of the purity of the white lead sold under their famous "Dry Boy Painter" trademark. That trademark on a keg of white lead is in itself an absolute guarantee of purity and quality. HAD A RIGHT MERRY TIME. Presents and Souvenirs Distributed on Casey's Birthday. "Yis," began Mrs. O'Toole, "ye see, it was Casey's birthday yesterday, an Casey brought home two bottles of rule stuff—one inside an one outside to allibrate the occasion, an they fist had the tome of their lives last avenit.

Woman Had No Idea of Being Proxy for Medical Treatment. A missionary, discounsuring upon India, told of a woman who had come to her complaining of a very sore back and desired that she pray for its cure. This Mrs. Jackson did, but the woman again appeared before her and declared that the back was still in a had coction. Mrs. Jackson advised her an application of iodine, and I out a bottle of the drug to appl. in the affliction part of the woman's anatomy. But she regarded the bottle suspiciously and acted, though it equalled her, when she to use it. To allay her fears upon this score Mrs. Jackson applied some of the drug to her own finger and showed her that it would not burn, and that she had better allow her to put some of it upon her back. "But," said the woman, "it would do no good." "How so?" inquired Mrs. Jackson, sympathetically. "Because," replied the woman, "it is my old man's back that is sore." The First Word. "That is what I call an ideal marriage," Hardy declared to his wife as they were walking homeward after a long day at the Capitol. "Actually I believe both think absolutely alike." "Yes, they are certainly charming" assented Mrs. Hardy; "but about thinking, Joe, if you will notice, she generally thinks first."—Youth's Companion.

The late Prof. Schiller's work is the best of all the has this amusing reminiscence: "The first occasion was when a sally cousin of mine with too much wine in him challenged a well known duelist, James Jackson, who as a general fell at Perrilleville. Fortunately, I knew Jackson well as a boy of 18 may know a man of twice his years. I made my plea to him to give my kinsman his life—he had, indeed, reason to be vexed—but in the end he told his second to 'fix it up' with me. My good, I may say indeed affectionate, relations with Jackson had begun a year before in a like absurd business in a ballroom. Frankfort. I had accidentally stepped into a mess made on the floor by the breaking of a bottle of champagne, which he as manager was trying to have cleaned up. With a sharp wrench he pushed me aside; afterward manmade messes; so therefore, as usual in such cases, I asked him for his card. His answer was: "I beg pardon, my dear sir, I took you for a boy." We both saw the fun of the situation, and became friends. He was one of the glories of this world; he lifted my sense of what it was to be a man—the ancient type of gentleman." HE HAD THE FAMILY FAILING. Humorous Apology Made by Pompous Old Colored Butter. A relative of Thomas Nelson Page, who resides in the south, has his in employ an old family butler, who goes by the name of "Ebe," short for Ebenhart, an old german "cultured gummel" "intentionally of family" and emulative of his master, "do cuheler," in every possible instance. A few days ago there was a big dinner "up at de house," and in the colonel's absence Ebe took advantage of the occasion to get gloriously intoxicated, and was unable to attend to his duties for a day or two. A daughter of the household undertook the man, who expressed great repentance, promised reform, and finally, when she saw how seriously his o'cense was taken, ended with: "Now, Miss Lucy, doan be'yo be too haid on his dahkey. Ah knows ah oughtn't tuink drink dwhlskey when all dem folks was heah, but den yo' knows, Miss Lucy, Ah's jus'lak' ek cnnelhet; and Miss Lucy, ye' knows yo're'l none ob us Pages evah canst' stan no lquah." The "No-Breakfast" Habit The no-breakfast habit is harmless enough, provided a heavy meal is taken, not before going to bed, but early in the evening. Late dinners have no need of "breakfast" until noontime. The French and other continental people discovered this age ago, and have thrived under it. Barring the cup of coffee or chocolate, the late dining Freemain was nothing to eat until lunch. But the habit of drinking and drink in this stimulating climate will keep energy must be taxed during the morning hours is one of those silly notions which bear anaemic results, visible in the complexion, the color and eventually the constitution of those devoted to it—Boston Herald. Principle of Education. At the foundation of the art of education must be the following principle, which those who make in advance the plans for such education must understand: It is necessary to bring up children so that their education shall be adaptable not to the present, but to the future, perhaps better, condition of the human race—that is, it should be adapted to the idea of mankind and its emancipation. This principle is important in the highest degree. Usually parents bring up their children so that they shall be fit only for the present world, even though it is deprived. But they should educate their children better in order to create thus a future better state of mankind—Kant. Small Boy Then and Now. This is the way the editor of the St. Joseph, Ga. Eye writes it: "David was considered a noble little fellow because he went forth and slow the giant, Goliath, with his sling. It pleased King Saul and all the children of Israel to such an extent that he was at once crowned as a hero and made a ruler. Very little herosom would be credited to an act of that kind in our day of the world. "Dive the average ten-year-old boy a shallow Dahlia vine and he would not only kill all the vine in four miles of him, but there would not be a window light nor a dog with in that radius." Fashion and Good Taste It is very foolish and betrays what a small mind we have, to allow fashion to sway us in everything that regards taste; in our way of living, our health and our conscience. To have a hobby is not to have a taste for what is good and beautiful, but for what is rare and singular and for what no one else can match; it is not to like things which are perfect, but those which are most sought after and fashionable. It is not an amusement but a passion; and often so violent that in the meanness of its object it yields only to love and ambition.—Jean De La Bruyere. Object to Strong Medicine Many people object to taking the medicines usually prescribed by physicians for rheumatism. There is no need for internal treatment in any case of muscular or chronic rheumatism, and more than ninety percent of the cases of the disease are of one or the other of these varieties. When there is no force and little if any childbirth, you may know that it is in only the most rheumatic's Likelihood to cause pain. Try COMPLIMENT FOR THE PASTOR Remark Not So Intended Really Amounted to as Much. Asaron Bancroft, the father of the historian, the author of the autobiographies clergy-man who revolted against the Calvinism of the day. The young minister found himself held as arm's length by the surrounding clergy. In "The Life and Letters of George Bancroft" Mr. M. A. DeW. How quotes the following item from the old minister's "Memoranda:" An honest but very intelligent farmer of parish, since ten years ago, accosted me in this manner: "Well, Mr. Bancroft, what do you think the people of the old parish say of me now?" "I answered, I hope something good." "They say, 'If we find fault with him he does not mind it at all; and if we praise him he does not mind it, we therefore stand on his own way; we best to let him alone." "The farmer mentioned the fact as a subject of laughter, but I thought, and still think that, taking the declaration in its bearings, it was the pretender that had been through my whole life."—Youth's Companion. AT TOMB OF GREAT WARRIOR. Description of Last Resting Place of Gengkhian Khan. Genghis Khan, the Mongol chief, in the thirteenth century proved himself one of the world's greatest warriors. His tomb exists at Mchen Koro, and is described in Count de Leadais' "From Pekin to Skikim;" "Two small tents, one behind the other, and connected by a very low inner door, made of worn-out felt, and admitting through their rents the rain and the wind, are the 'monuments' destined to perpetuate the renown of the greatest conqueror the world has known. . . . The ashes of the body of Genghis Khan are deposited in a kind of chest, cubic in shape, and a wooden support made of small colored wood, adorned with paintings on its sides, facing south, which is covered with a finely worked copper plate representing a divinity surrounded by four animals which are difficult to identify. . . . The tomb, in fact, has not always been here, but it is difficult to know exactly where the first descendants of the great emperor laid his remains." Give Your Dog More Water Fully one-half of canine misery comes from lack of drinking water. The agony of thirst frays dog temper to the vicious point, and impatient animals are much like cross humanity, ready to resent an act or look. Thoughtful families leave basins of fresh water where stray animals can find it, but they are not many, and they will never do as much good as running water in places where it can be reached at will. Dog lovers are many, but they do not always give due attention to the animals which more than repay their kindness and affection. Let us make a New Year's resolution to use our influence to establish a few sensible preventives of mad dog scares, chief of which is plenty of fresh water for all animals. Where They Came From It is surprising from whence came the most common articles of food. The onion, the leek, garlic and pea were favorites in Egypt; rye and parsley in Siberia; the citron and currants in Greece, and radishes hall from China and Japan. The horsechestnut is a native of Thibet, "The Forbidden Land," and the mulberry tree, walnut and peach traveled westward from Persia. Very numerous that oats originated in North Africa, and time when Egypt was the granary of the world. The chestnut came from Italy, celery from Germany, spinach from Arabia, the sunflower from Peru and cucumbers from India. Tobacco is a native of Virginia. Between Two Thorns Rosenbaum had a store between Smith's and Brown's, and all three sold clothing except Rosenbaum, who only tried to. Smith and Brown were often hilarious together over their neighbor's lack of business ability. After the three stores had been visited by a very cautious fire, Smith and Brown covered the fronts of their stores with flaming sigma announcing that they were the only ones everybody went to Rosenbaums. Not until their unbusinesslike neighbor had sold everything but the gas meter did they discover his large sign, "Main Entrance." — Success Magazine. A Cookroach Remedy. A housekeeper who was recommended to try cucumber peelings as a remedy for cockroaches strewed the floor with pieces of the peel not very thin and watched the sequest, says a writer in Suburban Life. The peats covered the peel in a short time so that it could not be seen, so voraciously were they engaged in sucking the poisonous moisture from it. The second night that this was tried the number of cockroaches was ruced to a quarter and none were left on the third night. Perhaps.

Well Defined by the Father of Bir College Course in Politics To Columbia university belongs the credit of offering the first course designed 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 if they were to take the fairness of that city, and the invitation 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 unit course established on the lines indicated by the innovation at Columbia. Haltians 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 complains and a greater disregard for human life than in the remote countries of the east. Situated in the very heart of the West Indies, where the island is in the West Indies, 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 lazy 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 conceived as reformed are put to work on the state farm. "It is the conditions of our cities that breed crime," says the governor. "Most of it can be traced to idleness and drink, and idleness 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 farm would come to like it and escape the associates who carry him down when he returns to the city." Milk on Intralict Milk is an inexplicant. New York City city consumes annually 840,000,000 quarts of milk. We drink 2,300,000 quarts a day. And this does not include mothers milk for infants; just cow milk is preferred milk 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 way. The skin was undoubtedly none too clean, some milk of the previous day being left in it, which would act as a leaven. Sleeplessness. A good remedy for sleeplessness is 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 skin and making the mind and peaceful slumber. Warm water, than cold for the purpose. This remedy will prove useful to people suffering from overwork, excitement or anxiety. "There are various degrees and kinds of blindness, widow. There is the connubial blindness, ma'am, which perhaps you may have observed in the course of your own experience, and which is a kind of willful and self-damaging blindness. There is the blindness of party, ma'am, and public men, which is the blindness of a mad bull clothed in red. There is the blind confidence of youth, which is the blindness of young kittens, whose eyes have not yet opened on the world."—Cary Dickens. Curious Mexican Indians. Buried in the heart of a civilized, powerful and progressive foreign people, a little handful of Indians have lived for 300 years and have con- trived to keep during all that time that they have learned to respect the 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 per-haps the only people in the republic who have succeeded in retaining for "henselves what is practically self-government. Willing to Oblige. "When you feel any temptations comin' alone," said the friend and adviser, "you must say; 'Get the behin' me, Satan.'" "Do's what I done said," answered Mr. Erasus Pinkley, "na' den I imagines I huhns Satan answer me back: 'Do's all right. We both give de same way, notoh, and it do make de me which leads de dehumanization." Well Defined by the Father of Sir Walter Scott. Among the treasures which glorified the "den" of Sir Walter Scott was a thina saucer—the memorial according to the author of "Edinburgh Under Sir Walter Scott," of a striking incident in the domestic life of Scott's mother and mother. One autumn Mr. Scott, Sr. had a client who came regularly every evening at a certain hour, and was a devoted private room usually on after the family had gone to bed. The little mystery of the unknown visitor excited Mr. Scott's curiosity, and her husband's vague attentions increased it. One night, therefore, although she knew it was against her husband's desire, she entered the room with a salver in her hand, and offered the gentleman "a dish of tea," as it used to be served to him. His reception, Mr. Scott's coldly refused it, but the stranger bowed and accepted a cup. Presently he took his leave. That Mr. Scott seized the empty cup and threw it out on the pavement. His wife was astonished at first, but not when she heard the explanation. "I may admit into my house, on business, persons wholly unworthy to be treated as guests of my family," he said. The next comes after Mr. Murray, or Broughton's. The client who had called was none other than the traitor. Secretary Murray, who bought off his life and fortune by giving evidence against his gallant Jacobite associates.—Duncee Advertiser. SOME SMALL ENGLISH PARISHES. Dozen inhabitants in One; in Another Only Two Houses. Probably few people know that this country contains a number of parishes so small that their population can be housed under one or two roofs. For instance, Upper Eldon, near Stockbridge, consists of two houses, which with an eleventh century church and a tiny "Gods Ace" in the middle of a farmyard adjoining one of the dwellings, comprise the whole parish. Not much larger is the population of Lullington, five miles from Eastbourne. Small as its church is—the interior dimensions are only 16 feet square—it is quite large enough for the inhabitants. In Grove near 'Lighton Buzzard, there are only about a dozen inhabitants, the parish containing a modern farmhouse, two cottages and a tiny church. At Rhyd, in Flintshire, while there are only three adult inhabitants, the village contains five cottages and one ship. Until recently there were two licensed houses, one of which still remains—Tit-Bits. Store Carries Old Hotel Name. Away up in Harlem is a sign which reads: "The Old Astor House Store." In reply to an inquiry the proprietor sald: "The business was established in the vicinity of the old Astor house when the latter was the big hotel of Fourteenth street and carried the name of the old hotel with it. Some years after it moved up to forty- second street and the name went with it. Then it jumped all the way to Harlem and, as the name had become one of the fixtures of the business, it was moved to Fourteenth street and the hands of the third generation of the family that established it. Just a bit of sentiment."—New York Press. Pleasant Situation Clintonville, this county, had several thrills of nervous apprehension on Tuesday of last week. A driver in the employ of a torpedo firm started with a load of 40 quarts of nitrogycerine, and when a short distance from the barn stopped, got off his wagon and started an argument with the owner, and ended and started to run, but had not gone far until the front wheel of the wagon struck an iron support of a porch at a street corner and the horses stripped themselves from the harness, leaving the wagon, with its load of condensed destruction, standing. -Oil City Derrick. Waterproof Coats of Grass. In the tropics of Mexico, where torrential rains fill a part of each year, raincoats are a very necessary part of man's apparel. Owing to the intense heat which prevails in the summer season in many tropical areas, raincoats are not worn. A rainproof coat is made from native grasses, and is worn by the men of the middle and upper classes. The grasses are woven close together and it is impossible for the rain to beat through them, no matter how hard the storm may be. Some of these coats are made with a hood which protects the head as well as the body. Will Found in a Hat. Probate has been granted of the will of a peddler who left an estate valued at £11,937. He was Mr. Harrius Norman, a Polish Jew, of Mill road, Cambridge. The document was found in his silk hat after his death. It was dated January 15, 1903, and by it he lost the whole of his property equally between Addenbrooke's house and the synagogue for the relief of pome and needy Jews—London. Evening Standard.

A rare and curious mazotint 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* by its certified owner, 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 Postraits of Washington," says that only one impression of this mazotint has come under the notice of the writer. It was in neither the Clarkson nor the Carson sale of Washington portraits. INSTITUT ON Yellow Flour. Charles Christodorn, 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 realise 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 £5 to £9 per cent of the large flour mills of the country were using this bleaching process, the decision is far-reaching."—National Food Magazine.
