It was their new laundry ane bakery plant, which had been the pride and talk of the town. It was owned by colored men principally, with a few white men as stockholders. The origin of the fire is not known but geneally thought to be incendiary, and the company has offered a reward for the arrest and conviction of the guilty. It was a pity, a great loss to the race, as it was one of the greatest and most successful business venture among our race in the middle west. The plant, building, etc. cost about $9,000 00. SOME PEOPLE WE MEET. Arriving at Boone last Friday we went to Mr. Tucker's grocery store where our old friend Mr. Fred Anthony has clerked for years. He and his mother and brother are still living at their home, 1103 Lymn street, the latter is employed at the C. & W. N.-Ry. Fred is thinking of opening a grocery store of his own. We trust he will decide to locate in Des Moines, for we believe one owned by an Afro-American well managed in the Capital City would be a good investment. The Messrs. B. F. Taylor and John Starks we were unable to see. Mr. S. L. Terry was in Cedar Rapids and Mr. G. W. Williams was away on his vacation. Mr. Fred Taborn is studying architectural drawing, and from a few of his specimens that we saw, he is making good progress; trust he will be successful in that work. Mr. C. H. Coleman still lives on the West Side and his son is now farming in Minnesota. Rev. J. W. Dowden and Mrs. F. D. Murdt were among the new subscribers. Fort Dodge. -We met Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham, former residents of Des Moines, the latter's health has been poor for some time and she expects to go to the hospital for an operation. Her mother is living with her. Mr. Chas. Lewis was very busy putting in his garden products, and as usual they have a number of chickens. Mrs. L. B. Buckner and her two children still live here. The son is attending school. Miss Flora Kennett will hereafter read the news as prepared for the Bystander, also G. P. Russell. The latter has secured good land in South Dakota and may move there this fall. You will see but very few unemployed men in this city, which show progress and thrift. We were informed that if you want work the police will find you employment, and then, if you refuse to work, they will escort you to the city limit and invite you to "move on." Mason City.—There are so many former Des Moines people here that we really felt at home. Rev. H. W. Porter of Des Moines was in the city. Mr. John Reeler is still owner of a barber shop and doing an excellent business. Claud Carr has a nice shining parlor with an excellent patronage. He is also president of the Tuxedo club, a social organization. He is remembered that Mr. Carr and family moved from Des Moines to this city a few years ago. His wife is a member of a woman's club that has been organized to assist in establishing a church in this city. Mr. and Mrs. W. Allen are still residents of this city. Mr. Allen has not been enjoying very good health this spring. Mr. Elmer Wright expects to leave sometime this summer. Mr. Chas. Watson, one of the pioneer torsional artist, owns a lovely home. His son assists him in the shop. Mr. Watson is one of our new subscribers. Elsewhere will be found the announcement of the death of Anderson Perkins of Buxton, who died very suddenly in California where he was preparing to move. He was without doubt the best all around man in Buxton and had been with the Company for more than twenty-five years. He was the first colored postmaster in Iowa and was a true race leader, not in words but in action, and in council a great church worker; a lovable husband and a Master Mason. He gave yel editor his first clerical position when he left college, clerk in the Star Grocery Store of Muchakinock. Subscribe for the Bystander. Whooping Cough. This is a more dangerous disease than is generally presumed. It will be a surprise to many to learn that more deaths result from it than from scarlet fever. Pneumonia often results from it. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been used in many epidemics of whooping cough, and always with the best results. Delbert McKeig of Harlan, Iowa, says of it: "My boy took whooping cough when nine months old. I got a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy which proved good. I cannot recommend it too highly."

Broadway **STUDIO BROOKLYN** One of the most recognizing signs of the educational progress which is being made by young Afro-Americans in Greater New York is found in the fact that a larger number of them are to be found on the records who have passed satisfactory examinations for public school teachers, clerks and stenographers, positions in the postal service and other municipal positions than has been the case in former years. They have been inspired and seem determined to overcome those difficulties which formerly kept back many from reaching the goal of their ambition. They are learning the lessons of self reliance and persistence, by which alone they may hope to succeed. A young woman in Brooklyn who is making good use of these essential qualities and also learned from the girls' high school in 1907 with honors in English, mathematics and MISS AMELIA HOWARD. physical geography. Miss Howard afterward entered the Brooklyn Training School For Teachers, in which she displayed rare ability as a student in mastering the principles of teaching. Feeling confident that she was prepared for the work to which she had set her mind, she entered the teachers' examination, which she passed successfully, and was awarded one of the teachers in public school No. 149, the only Afro-American teacher in that school. Miss Howard's success has greatly encouraged many of her former classmates, who had given up hope as to ever finishing their studies or of taking the teachers' training course. The public school system of New York is among the best in the United States, and, since it is a well known fact that the applicants must pass the color determination fitness to teach, our girls should have no fears about getting assigned to teachers' positions when they meet the requirements of the board of education for such. PATRIOTIC RECEPTION. Military Orders Unite In Brilliant Social Function At Boston. The first grand union military reception, which was given by the Mrs. Roger Walcott auxiliary, No. 18, and Peter Salem garrison, No. 16, of the Army and Navy union at Berkeley hall, Boston, recently, was in every respect a brilliant and successful affair. The orchestra, which was led by Fred P. White, furnished excellent music, giving many of the old time patriotic strains. The attendance included many distinguished military personalities, many of whom he joined heartily in the festivities of the occasion. The grand march was a feature of the evening previous to the serving of supper. It was led by Commander Seanon of Peter Salem garrison and Lady Commander Mrs. M. Cravath Simpson of auxiliary No. 18. The national colors were presented by Mr. Charles Alexander, who in turn presented them to Lady Commander M. C. Simpson. The colors, with a set of regalia, were given by Mrs. Roger Walcott, widow of the late Governor Walcott of Massachusetts, after whom the auxiliary is named. Industry of W. W. Morgan. W. W. Morgan of Glen Ridge, N. J. operates a successful automobile service. He started in business in 1007 by opening a garage and reselling it for $9.00. And the end of the first year his receipts were $277.03. The second year, 1008, the gross earnings were $448.27. His garage and repair shop are kept busy all the time, and he also keeps one large automobile for hire and has established a lack and cab service at the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad station at Montclair, N.

Our city has been losing some of her old citizens this spring and on last Tuesday evening Mr. Henry Bell, after a lingering illness of several months, died at his home, 1104 Fremont street. He had lived in our city nearly half a century and he lived to be nearly one hundred years old. He is one of the best known colored men in our city and highly esteemed by all who knew him. He was especially mourned by the old soldiers, for during the war he had befriended so many of them at Corinth, Miss. The funeral was held from his residence Thursday at 2 o'clock, conducted by' reV, T. L. Griffith, assisted by Rev. S. Bates, Rev. Geo. W. Galnes and Dr. J. Dulin, and Rev. B. F. Abner. The pall-bearers were Jeff Logan, Jennifer McCormick and Walker Walker, G. E., Tupon, T. G., Ward Henry Bell, or Henry Essick, to use his generic name, was born in Goose Creek, Bedford county, Virginia, September 28, 1811. When the boy was sixteen his master, Cd. Essick, gave him to a son-in-law by the name of Dobbins who started with him from Virginia to Alabama. They stopped in New York for two years and Henry was married to "Aunty" Bell, a slave on the Bell plantation. After they had been married for two years, Dobbins wanted to take Henry away with him but the latter demurred. Touched by his devotion to his wife, Bell purchased a farm known as Henry Bell, taking the name of his new master as was the custom in slavery days. A GREAT GOOD MAN GONE.

New Secret Order in New York, Based on African Ideals, Seeks to Federate Negroes Into One Great Fraternal Union. BY JOHN EDWARD "BRUCE GRIT." There has recently come into existence the Beneficent and Philanthropic Order of Rebucks of America and elsewhere, incorporated under the laws of the state of New York. The name is significant, and it is also expressive of the feelings of its founders. The prophet Isaiah, xil, 14, in picturing the condition of Babylon, which had been threatened with destruction because of its wickedness, said: "It shall be as the chosen people, and as a shepherd that no man taketh up. They shall every man turn to his own people and feye every one into his own land." W. MUSGRAVE LA MOTTE, SUPREME BADIX. What could be a more appropriate name, then, for a Negro fraternal order than that of the beautiful and gentle roe, always an object of special fondness in ancient times and even to this day spawn of in terms of endearment in the east—the meek eyed, loved and lovable gazelle? That Negroes should select the name of this animal for a great fraternal and benevolent order is significant and full of meaning. Among the higher order of meaning, among the higher order of modern times and "the sheep that no man taketh" he. He is just now beginning to "turn to his own people and face every one into his own land." The Roebucks owe their origin chiefly to Mr. William Preston Moore of Brooklyn, who was imbued with the idea two years ago that Negroes might better employ their intellect and talents in originating and constructing a great Negro fraternal order of their own which would not suffer by comparison with any organization of white men. This has been accomplished, and the basis of the organization is the Negro fraternal order. The fallow deer, roe and gazelle, characterized by its beauty, gentleness and loving disposition. Love, charity, gentleness, beauty of life and character—these are the fundamentals of Roebuckism. Love to God, love to fellow man (which, broadly interpreted, means charity), gentleness of manner and the cultivation of beautiful lives and characters—these are the chief claims of the Roebucks of America and Elsewhere. They are claims that ought to appeal to Negroes everywhere and impel them to investigate this unique order, which is striving to wield together the Negroes of the United States, the Negroes of Puerto Rico, Australia, Canada, South America, Central America and the West India islands into one compact brotherhood, each for the other and God for all. The coming of the Roebucks at this critical period in the history of the Negro in America is significant as showing the desire of thoughtful and progressive Negroes to delve into these African mysteries and problems and evolve from them an original Negro fraternity. The mission of the Roebucks therefore is to originate, not to imitate. It is an order based on African ideals, history, philosophy and science. Africans were once the school of the black man, the church, the husbands, and the Greeks and Romans of old time journeyed into Africa annually to sit at the feet of its black philosophers and drink in wisdom. The descendants of these blacks scattered in every habitable part of the globe are the residuary legacies of this wisdom and learning, buried in Africa's sands, graven on her imposing monuments and temples and reposing in the tombs of her mighty rulers. The mission of the Beneficent and Philanthroper Order of Roebucks of America and Elsewhere is first, the most important, second, organization; third, co-operation; fourth, the vindication of the color and character of the Negro; fifth, the consolidation of intelligent Negroes throughout the world into one mighty fraternal brotherhood, the basic principles of which are love to God and fellow man, gentleness of manner and beauty of character. The lack of manhood on the part of so many of the would be leaders has always been a great stumbling block the way of the race—Boston Guard. Mr. and Mrs Ben Lewis spent Sunday at Lucas, Iowa. Mr. Ross Johnson of Buxton spent Sunday with his family in Albia. Mrs. Lula Miller who has been with her sister in Des Moines is home again this week. Mr. Blueheart spent Sunday in Otumwa.

Constantinople, May 12.—A difference of opinion has arisen between Schweitzer Pasha, commander of the constitutionall army that entered Constantinople, April 24, and the present cabinet. Schweitzer Pasha is of the opinion that the capital found in the imperial palace of Yildiz after the expulsion of Abdul Hamid should be used to pay the expenses of his army, while the ministers want the money turned into the national treasury. The funds in question now amount to almost $8,000,000 in cash and in marketable securities. Schweitzer Pasha one advantage in the controversy, inasmuch as the money is in the possession of the military and has been deposited in the war office. District is Laid Waste Belrut, Asatic Turkey, May 12—Recent firing in the vicinity of Marash has laid waste to that entire district. Marash itself was spared, although a few persons were killed, but within sixty miles to the southwest a total of sixteen villages with a population of 8,000 souls have been practically wiped out. The only survivors are boys under 10 and old women. The girls were carved away reports reported declare that the immigrant and naked number 14,000 immediate relief is required. The interior districts are still far from settled and from all directions the most heartending accounts and appeals are being received here. Riot at Council Bluffs Council Bluffs, Ia., May 12—A crowd of several hundred persons gathered at Tenth and Broadway, near where Patrolman Horner was shot and for a time riot was imminent. The whites declared they would "clean out" the negro settlement. The arrival of police prevented the carrying out of the threat. The negroes were lined up on one side of Broadway and the whites on the other and several missiles were buried, but nobody was injured. Negro's Finger Prints.

No Foreign Eyes Permitted to See the Constantinople—Whatever for good or evil, Mehmed M. now rules Turkey. His gold sword was girded on Monday and he ascended the throne from which his brother, Abdul Hamid II, recently was ousted. Following the ceremony, which was witnessed only by the governor, degree, was a pictureque procession. This girding of the sword, which corresponds to that of coronation, took place in the mosque Ayuob, the single mosque in Constantinople which Christians are not allowed to enter, or even congregate about the entrance or courtyard. It lasted but a few minutes and no foreign eyes witnessed the sword, the final power consigning the temporal power to the sultan. A stand was erected for the diplomatic corps and distinguished foreigners some eight or ten blocks from the mosque. The sultan proceeded from the Dolunabagstache palace to the mosque, which stands at the water's edge, and there, atended by the grand vizier, uluslam, the members of the cabinet, the chiefs of the army, the two higher grades of ulemas and many other functionaries, went to the Top Kapun palace, about six miles distant, to kiss the robe of the prophet. The sultan's train made a rich display of fabrics, jowled arms and fine horses. The government is taking hold of the sultan's property with vigor. It was announced that $150,000 had been sent there. The grand vizier and Ferdish Pasha the minister of the interior, received a deputation of the Armenian clergy and laity. The delegation was headed by Arscharini, the provisional representative of the patriciale, who was assured that the government would inquire thoroughly into the Adana massacres and severely punish those guilty of inciting them. The minister said the investigation would be con deduced from the court. Notable Armenian met and submitted to the government the following requests: First, that the murderers of Christ. lans be punished; second, that stolen property be returned and indemnities be paid for property destroyed; third, that the women and girls who were stolen be returned, and also that men and women who were compelled forly to adopt Mohammedanism be allowed to resume their original faith; fourth, that the investigation conducted by the management of theovordeepen be allowed; that a new investigation of the discovers from their commencement be made by a military commission; fifth, that Christians be permitted to participate in the local police establishment and, sixth, that Armenians be allowed to participate in defraying the cost of erecting a monument to those who have fallen in the army of liberty; 21 ARE REPORTED DEAD. Duluth Hears the Steamer Shores Went Down in Lake Superior— Vessel Long Overdue. Duluth, Minn.—Advices received here are to the effect that the steamer Shores, six days overdue at Duluth, went down off White Fish Point in Lake Superior with all on board. The crew and passengers numbered 21. News of the destruction was brought to Duluth by the crew of the steamer Northland, who say that as the latter was passing White Fish Point on the way up they discovered wreckage strewn all over the lake and in their four question it added to Shores. The fact that she was a week overdue adds color to the theory. The Adela Shores belonged to the S. O. Nof Transportation Company of Milwaukee, Wis. The gale in which the ship founded last week and in which also the Aurania, the Russia and the Nester went down was one of the fiercest in the history of Lake Superior for this season. The year Superior at times gained at velocity of 70 Km/h. Together with the fact that a violent snowstorm prevailed for three days, made navigation extremely perilous for ships that were caught away from land and in the trough of the sea. Loeb Ousts Five from Office. New York:—Collector of the Port Loeb has announced the removal from the customs service of five assistant weighers—Joseph P Quinn, Simon J.

KIDNAPERS IN PRISON BOYLE IMPLIGATES WHITLA BOY'S UNGLE IN MURDER AND TELLS SENSATIONAL STORY Says Harry Forker Planned Crime to Get Money to Hush Up Story of Skating at Youngtown—Acused Denies Charge. Pittsburg, Pa.—Sentenced to life imprisonment and 25 years, respectively, by Boyle and his pretty wife, Helen, kildapers of Wilhelm Whitsa, began their work in the Western penitentiary Tuesday. They were brought to the prison Monday evening. The prisoners upon their arrival were taken first t o a side room and told that they would have to say goodbye as the rules of the prison would not permit them to see each other again. Mrs. Boyle threw her arm around "Jimmy" s neck and kissed him. She said: "We must take it the best we can." Boyle's number at the penitentiary is 6631A, and that of his wife 6632A. The prisoners were photographed and Berklin measurements of them were taken. Before he left Mercer Boyle gave out an interview, to be used under his name. He said in part: "On the morning of —, between the hours of —, Dan Reeble, Jr., was found dead on the sidewalk in front of the Mauser block, east Federal street, Youngstown, and over the prostrate form was Mr. Harry Forker of Sharon, Pa., holding in his right hand a package of letters that was gathered from the sidewalk near the dead body of Mr. Reeble. "As he was about to depart from the vicinity he was intercepted by the writer and a man who has since passed to his reward, Mr. Dan Shay, a saloonkeeper of Oak street, Youngstown, O. "In Mr. Forker's hurry to leave the scene he failed to find two envelopes that contained four letters. The same was plucked up by Mr. Shay and later taken to his place of business on Oak street. "The writer and Mr. Shay examined and read the contents of same which proved beyond a doubt the presence of Mr. Forker there at that time. The letters were written by a lady, two from a party in New York state and the others from Cleveland, O." After telling how Forker had paid him hush money Boyle declared it was Foraker's plan to kidnap the Whita boy, his nephew, in order to pay $5,000 demanded by Boyle. Then Boyle goes into a description of the kidnapping, saying it was not he who took the boy to Warren. He says he met James P. Whita, father of the boy, in Cleveland, before the boy was surrendered, and told him about Forker's connection with the kidnapping and Whita promised there would be no prosecution. Whita brands Boyle's story as a lie. Sharon, Pa.—Harry Forker was seen regarding the statement issued by James P. Whita in him in the kidnapping of Willee Whita. He said, "I know absolutely nothing of this case. There is nothing to it. I only know Boyle as I know other members of his family, as residents of Sharon. I have never had any dealings with him. I do not know the woman who is said to be his wife. Boyle never showed me any letters. The whole story is a slanderous lie. FOIL PLAN TO STEAL MILLION Criminals Dig Tunnel to Vault—Five Men and Women in Des- tress Map Gorl, Russia.—A daring plan to rob the treasury of Gorl, in which $1,000,000 are kept, was discovered Saturday. The scheme of the criminals, five men and a woman, was to dig a tunnel into the building from outside. They had progressed a distance of 300 feet, and had reached a point directly below the cellar when a book keeper heard sounds of excavating machinery, the police to negotiate, with the result that all six were captured. It seemed that the criminals relaxed their precautions owing to the fact that Saturday was a holiday. This was the second similar attempt to rob this treasury. Attempts to Slay Police Chief. Paris. — A Polander named Viktokoff bade an attempt, in a hotel here Sunday, to kill M. Von Kotten, chief of the secret police of Moscow. He fired five shots at the police official, but missed his mark. M. Von Kotten asserts that Viktokoff is a damn terrorist. He says he was Siberia. Viktokoff said that he attacked Von Kotten to expose the methods of the Russian political secret service.

Metropolitan Women's Business Club of Brooklyn Gives Big Recital—Public Interest Shown in Effort to Break Away From Landlord Bodage. The recital and reception given by Miss M. P. Felton for the benefit of the Metropolitan Women's Business club, Brooklyn, N. Y., recently was a success in more than a financial way. It emphasized, in the first place, the business capacity and leadership of the women at the head of the club and, secondly, it showed by the quality and standing of its patrons to what extent the race in Brooklyn is interested in purely business movements. The literary program was made up of persons who have gained distinction along special lines in the professions and in business and whose sympathies are in accord with the objects and aims of the club—viz, to lead the Negro out of rental slavery and landlord bondage into a house of his own in the way of some public accommodations. Among them were Madam Bertie Toney Craig, who recited with brilliance the "Legend of the Organ Builder," accompanied by Mr. Merville Charlton on the organ; Mr. M. A. Medley, who is a baritone solist of note; Miss Lena B. Simma, who is a gifted linguist and soprano singer, and Miss I. L. Moorman, president of the club and who knows more about real estate and finance than any other woman of the race of whom we know. The closing part of the program was taken by Shungopavi and his Indian maiden, Juanin, who were very amusing. The presence of the Rev. Dr. William A. Creditt, who is the successful pastor of the First African Baptist church of Philadelphia, who made the principal address and who was followed by Mr. George E. Wibecan of Brooklyn, was another evidence of the solidarity and influence of the club. Dr. Creditt dwelt at length upon the leadership of women, which had been MADAM BERTIE TONEY CRAIG. made manifest in the nation, the state and the church and all good movements. He also made a plea for the sacredness of the home and said that the American home today is not what it was fifty years ago; that home life in the large apartments and hotels in cities was being minimized. He also urged upon fathers and mothers to provide suitable comforts and pleasant pastimes for their sons and daughters at home if they wished to save them from evil companionship. In closing his address Dr. Credita express high approval of the undertaking of the club to build a hall and called upon the men of Brooklyn and New York to either acknowledge their incapacity for leadership or fall in line with the women of the Metropolitan Business club and assist them in raising sufficient means to accomplish the object which they have in view. Mr. Wibecan, who is a well-known politician and progressive citizen, stated that he had the uttermost confidence in the women back of the movement and that every dollar invested with them by the public was protected by first mortgages and that he was willing to trust them with his money for such a worthy and timely object. The fact that over $3,600 has already been subscribed toward the fund is sufficient evidence to show that real progress is being made. The race must wake up to a realization of its financial strength and make use of its financial strength for its own benefit. It is not a question of money alone which prevents the Negro from owning and controlling business enterprises; it is his inactivity and lack of keep him dependent upon other races for that which he could easily provide for himself. With thousands of dollars on deposit in the banks and trust companies of the city, there is not a hall or convenient assembly room owned by Negroes in Brooklyn, and the same is in nearly every large city in the United States. The Grand Fountain of the United Order of True Reformers as an organization owns more real estate in comparison than all of the other Negro secret and benevolent organizations in the United States. Let the race get busy everywhere and look well to its future welfare. The Metropolitan Women's Business club is on the right track and is going to succeed in a way which should give hope, inspiration and courage to the race-for generations to come.

Soreness of the muscles, whether induced by violent exercise or injury, is allayed by this liniment. For sale by all druggist. MAINE GHOST ON HORSEBACK. Peculiar Spook That Has Struck Terror to Farmer Folk. The horseback riding ghost is the very latest variety that has appeared in Bowdoinham, and he is a particular spirit, making visitations only at certain times. The hunter's ghost, they call him, and the big man on the big white horse who comes galloping down the Lisbon road on the full o' the moon right up to the side door of Sunny Crest farm strikes terror to the heart of the farmer folk as he raps smartly with his riding whip on the panels of the door. Whenever one appears in answer to the knock the ghost, so they tell the story, wheels round and disappears at a gallop, turning into the old woods road much used in revolutionary times by the soldiers of that stormy period. Ghost of the old Cap'n, they call him, connecting this horseback riding spook with a certain officer of unsavory fame who once haunted the district of Maine. It is on the hunters' moon when the ghost rides abroad, and nervous people on the Lisbon road are much disturbed by this galloping horseman.—Lewiston Journal. A FEW OF LIFE'S PARADOXES. All True, Though at First They Seem to Read Rather Odd. Peace we secure by armaments, liberty by laws and constitutions, simplicity and naturalness are the consummate result of artificial breeding and training; health, strength and wealth are increased only by lavish use, expense and wear. Our mistrust of mistrust engenders our commercial system of credit; our tolerance of revolutionary utterances is the only way of lessening their danger; our charity has to say no to beggars in order not to defeat its own desires; the true epicurean has to observe great sobriety; the way to certainty lies through radical doubt; virtue signifies not innocence but the knowledge of sin and its overcoming. The ethical and religious life are full of contradictions held in solution. You hate your enemy?—well, forgive him, and thereby heal coops of fire on his head; to realize yourself, renounce yourself; to save your soul, first lose it; in short, die to死.—Prof. William James, in Hilbert Journal. Ancient Uses of Bloodhounds 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 Scottish clan fends 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 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. Success. "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."—Bessle A. Stanley. Blindness. "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 in the midst of a regiment of soldiers 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."—Charles 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 contrived to keep 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 themselves what is practically self-government. BUC6418.

SINCE 1930 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 use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind.) See that name PORO is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by Mrs. A M PORO.
