Kiplings New Storie's Kiplings New Storie's THE DELINEATOR for September contains what is really the literary feature of the month in the magazine world—the first of a series of short stories by Rudyard Kipling. The story is entitled "Cold Iron" and introduces Puck of Pook's Hill, who will be welcomed by all lovers of fiction. This tale reveals the author at his best; its magic will enthral the reader and give him much to ponder on. It is a long time since Mr. Kipling has contributed to any periodical, and the fact that he has written these stories for The Delineator speaks volumes for the foremost of the women's magazines. DR. WASHINGTON'S ANNUAL ADDRESS DR. WASHINGTON'S ANNUAL ADDRESS Speaks Before National Negro Business League at Louisville, Ky., August 18, at 8 o'clock, p. m Officers and Members of the National Negro Business League: In coming together again for another annual meeting of the National Negro Business League, we have some reasons to congratulate ourselves upon the success of this organization. When we had our first meeting a few years ago there was comparatively little interest among our people in business, commercial and industrial enterprises. This organization has grown during these years to the point where hundreds of our best men and women now come together representing all parts of the country, for these annual meetings. We have at least 500 local Negro business leagues scattered throughout the country. When we began work there were a few drugstores owned and controlled by black people. Now we have nearly 200. A few years ago there were only about a half dozen Negro banks in the country; now there are 47. Drygoods stores, grocery stores and industrial enterprises to the number of over 10,000 have sprung up in all parts of the country. A little more than forty years ago, when the Negro was made free, he had almost no acres of land. Now he has an acreage nearly as large as New England. Then he had almost no homes; now he has 400,000 homes. Then he had few farms; now he has 200,000 farms. Then he had no insurance companies; now he has 85. Then he had no undertakers; now he has several thousands. When the American Negro was made free about 3 per cent. could read and write; now 57 per cent. can both read and write. Then he had few churches; now he has 26,000 churches. Our work is not yet done. The years that are to come are to bring us, in my opinion, even a larger degree of success and encouragement The greater part of this progress has taken place in our Southern States, right in the midst of the people who once owned our bodies. Here, let me add, this growth could not have taken place unless we had in each one of these Southern communities not a few white men who have believed in us and stood by us and stimulated and encouraged us. The Negro who lives in the South, as well as the one who lives in the North, should learn to love his home and the community in which he lives, and take as much interest in promoting its welfare as any other citizen. A few days ago, in conversation with a gentleman who has traveled widely in Africa and in other parts of the world, including the United States, he remarked to me that the Negro in America was at least one hundred years ahead of the Negro anywhere else in the world. We ourselves, as well as our neighbors, do not always appreciate the growth that is going on among us day by day, so gradual is it. Races, too often, like individuals, yield to the temptation of noting their troubles and disadvantages and overlooking their successes and their opportunities. In an increasing degree we must be an optimistic race. There is no hope for a despairing individual or a despairing race. Since our last annual meeting I have traveled through the States of Mississippi, South Carolina and portions of Virginia and West Virginia for the purpose of seeing for myself the actual condition of our race. Everywhere I noted progress—marvelous progress in many cases. Much of this progress in due to the stimulus and guidance furnished by the National Negro Business League. This organization has succeeded and will succeed because it has a constructive program and not a destructive one. A constructive program is the only one that will hold men toge her and make work for the common cause. In the Southern States which I visited I found a cohesiveness and oneness of purpose which was most inspiring.

Supervisors, Recorders, Auditors and Treasurers All Eager for Changes in the State Code and All Want More Salary. Sloux City, Ia., Aug. 20.—The laws of Iowa are being ripped up in Sloux City this week and remolded nearer to the heart's desire of the county officials of the district. They are all held in convention—recorders, supervisors, auditors, treasurers—and they all are for reform with a big R. The supervisors demand untrammeled control of county affairs and besides, more money for their services, preferring a stated salary to the per diem system. They want the legislative machinery to secure better highways, declaring the last legislature blocked the good roads movement by unwise acts. Changes in the tax laws are desired by the treasurers, particularly with reference to personal property. Four-year terms of office are favored by the recorders. The county clerks demand a better system of registering births. They, too, want higher salaries. The naturalization laws came in for considerable criticism. In an address before the County Clerks' association here, F. W. Wargent, city attorney of Sioux City, recommended the appointment of the clerks of the district court by judges and that they hold office for life. The Iowa supervisors decided to hold their next annual convention at Cedar Rapids, which probably transports teachers and recorders will vote likewise. Mason City, Fort Dodge, Spirit Lake and Des Moines also were considered. The treasurers re-elected the following officers: W. S. Ellis, Montgomery county, president; James A. Palen, Dubuque county, vice president; Colonel Halgrims, Humboldt county, secretary; W. S. Wadsworth Winnebago county, treasurer. The auditors, clerks and recorders will hold elections today.

The value of the stored grain was at least $4,000. The proprietors held $2,000 insurance on the mill, which reduces the total loss to about the original price paid for the mill.

Logan—The remains of the late Charles S. Brown, who was killed in a railroad wreck in Colorado Saturday, and whose remains were later buried in the M. M. church. Bride Comes to Life—Tells of Haverallmouth—One of the wicked, and at the same time one of the saddest deathbed scenes ever witnessed in this city was that surrounding the passing away of Mrs. Walley Oleson, aged 20. Mrs. Oleson, a bride eight months ago, had been ill a long time. Her death had been expected for several days, and her family had been summoned. Mother, brother, and sisters stood about her bed, and the end was rapidly approaching, gasp, and the last flicker of her had apparently passed. She loved ones about her began to weep, and with the young woman pronounced dead, were a start and opened her eyes. Her husband, thinking there was still hope, clasped his arms about his wife's neck. As he tenderly kissed the girl he cried, "Susie, O Susie," "Walley," the young wife answered, apparently realizing her surroundings, "Walley," she repeated, "I'm not dead. I've come back to take you with me. But I'm going soon. Walley, I saw the golden gates and the angels, Walley, and was in papa's arms." With these words the girl sank back on her pillow, and in a moment expired. She had returned from beyond and lived long enough to tell those about her of the wonder. Mrs. Oleson was formerly Susie Newton, a daughter of the late Dr. P. S. Newton, a former dentist here. William Coates a Hero. Cedar Rajda, Iowa. — William Coates, a veteran employee of the Northwestern, died here, a hero in all that the name implies. He gave up his life in order that a baby girl might live. Coates was flagman on the Twelfth avenue crossing. He was bothered by a crowd of little tots who persisted playing on the tracks. He warned them not to step on the tracks away. Just as a switch engine was backing down the tracks he noticed them at play near some box cars. He crieled to them and several of them ran. He noticed one little girl not over four years old standing dazed in the center of the track. Seeing the baby could not get off the track he started towards her. He had only time to throw her from between the rails when he was struck by the pilot of the engine. From which he died within three minutes after being removed to the hospital. The little girl was the only child of Mrs. Frank Trejcy and her father was killed by the Northwestern in this city a little over a year ago. Wife Witness to His Drowning. Pleasantville—For the second time within the past month the Des Moines river has claimed a victim from among the farmers of this community. Tom Peffers, a well known farmer, in company with his brother-in-law, John Speed, was bathing in the Des Moines river a few miles east of town. The young men tried to swim across the river. Speed succeeded and was sitting on the opposite bank resting, waiting for his companion to complete this task. When a little over half way over the river he called to Speed to come and help him. Speed went to his assistance. The struggles of Peffers, however, as he caught hold of his would-be rescuer caused both to go under water, and for the sake of self-preservation Speed was obliged to give up the attempt and save himself. Peffers' body was not found for some time, having drifted about 100 yards in the strong under current. While the sad tragedy was being enacted Mrs. Peffers and her two small children stood on the bank, saw the drowning of her husband and the drowning of her mother under assistance.

Canae, Island of Crete. — A well-fleeced shot fired by one of the parties of bluejackets landed from the international squadron anchored in Canae harbor brought down the flagstaff of the Canae fort and with it the Greek flag that has threatened to bring about war between Turkey and Greece.

Seattle, Wash.—Indiana's method of preventing the spread of crime through the employment of surgery in the state prisons, has the approval of the American Prison association, but the plan of Mrs. L. R. Eastwood of South Dakota to chloroform all idiots met with laughter and ridicule. A paper by Dr. Sharp of Indiana was read by Amos W. Butler of Indianapolis and was listened to in silence. After a discussion of the outdoor plan of treating convicts, in which every speaker told of the good results of banning armed guards and putting prisoners on honor, the debate on the Indiana plan was begun by a delegate moving that Dr. Sharp's paper be suppressed on the ground that the Indiana plan was contrary to the Bible. The debate on the "Indiana plan," which prevents the propagation of criminals and idols, developed almost unanimous sentiment for it. The discussion, according to President Gilmore of Toronto, Can., was the most profitable the association has held in years.

New York—The raging sea was cheated of seven human lives as its prey when the gallant Long Island life savers rescued seven of the crew from the stranded schooner Arlington on Long Beach and added another victory to their long list of battles against the ocean's fury. The eighth member of the crew, Madden Plierson, a Swede, put off from the schooner on a raft with the hope of reaching shore by the tide and lost sight of it. It was believed that he perished.

In a letter to De Nedrey Collector Loeb vigorously protests against an article recently published in the paper stating that Mr. Loeb contemplates appointing Charles A. Stillings, former public printer, to a position of trust in the New York customs service, and which concluded with the question: "Who was at the head of the audit system?" It is understood Mr. Loeb took office at that he believed to be a vailimated印念 that he was interested in the audit system which was inaugurated at the government printing office by Mr. Stillings, and which ultimately, was responsible primarily for the resignation of Mr. Stillings as public printer. Mr. De Nedrey says he was absent from the city when the article appeared in his paper, and does not know how it got into print. In the next issue of his paper he says there will be an explanation, which, in his opinion, will satisfy Mr. Loeb. "If it does not, he added, 'I shall govern myself according to the circumstances.' At the time of Mr. Stillings' discussion at the public printer Mr. De Nedrey took an active part editorially in discussing conditions at the big printer. He knows of no basis, he says, for an allegation that Mr. Loeb was connected with the audit system, and sees no reason to criticise him for his attitude toward organized labor.

Romadka, perpetrator of a string of daring burglaries and former wife of Charles L. Romadka a multi-millionaire manufacturer of Milwaukee, probably will be released next month. Another chapter was added to the ether of weird life of Mrs. Romadka, which is even more fantastic than that of Hornung's fiction character "Raffles," when it became known that friends of her girlhood days, of Fond du Lac and Oshkosh, Wis. had petitioned Gov. Deneen and the Illinois board of pardons asking for the liberation of the former school-teacher and millionaire's wife. Undaunted by the wealthy Romadka family's refusal to assist in gaining the release of the woman, whose prison confinement has undermined her reputation as an aged father, Caina, who owns a large rubber plantation in Mexico, has declared he will spend his entire fortune in his daughter's behalf.

Companion of irritated Divines Came to the Front with Order to the Waiter. Joaquin Miller is to establish a colony of poets in Fruitville, Cal. Mr. Miller, discussing this colony recently, sald: "We poets will, of course, argue and squabble. That will be delightful. Arguments and squabbles over Matthew Arnold, Swinburne, Tennyson and Keats are pleasant and sensible things, you know. They are not like political or religious arguments, which in their bitter rancor always make me think of three Maine divines. "While three Maine divines were sapping together, two of them begged argue about the comparative religious merit of the royal houses of Stuart and Orange. The argument became heated. The divines grew excited and angry. "William III. was a great rascal, roared the first, as he struck the table with his fist. 'A great rascal, and I spit upon his memory!' "The second divine, turning very red, shouted: "No, it's James II. that was the rascal. I split upon his memory!" At this point the third divine rang the bell, and said gently to the waiter: "Spittoons for two, please." The Artless Boy. The boy bowed politely to the grocer. "I understand," he said, "that you want a boy, sir. Will you kindly look me over." "I only pay $3," said the grocer, abruptly. "I understood," said the boy, "that you paid four." The grocer nodded. "I did pay four," he said, "until I saw in the paper the other day that Millionaire Rogers began his business career on $3 a week." The boy smiled. "But I don't expect to be a millionaire," he said. "I don't care to be rich, much to the good." The grocer was so much pleased with this artless reply that he compromised with the boy for three and a half. And Ma Falnted.

Whole Body a Mass of Raw, Bleeding, Torturing Humer—Hoped Death Would End Fearful Suffering. In Despair; Cured by Guticura. "Words cannot describe the terrible esema I suffered with. It broke on my head and kept spreading until it covered my whole body. I was almost a solid mass of sore from head to foot. I looked more like a piece of raw beef than a human being. The pain and agony endured seemed more than I could bear. Blood and pus oozed from the great sore on my scalp, from under my finger nails, and nearly all over my body. My ears were so crusted and swollen I was afraid they would break off. My head fell out. I could not sit down and would stick to the raw and bleeding flesh, making me cry out from the pain. My family doctor did all he could, but I got worse and worse. My condition was awful. I did not think I could live, and wanted death to come and end my frightful sufferings. "In this condition my mother-in-law begged me to try the Cuticura Remedies. I said I would, but had no hope of recovery. But oh, what blessed relief I experienced after applying Cuticura Ointment. It cooled the bleeding and itching and brought me the first real sleep I had in weeks. It was as grateful as ice to a burning tongue. I would bathe with warm water and Cuticura Soap, then apply the Ointment freely. I also took Cuticura Resolvent for the blood. In a short time the sores stopped running, the flesh began to heal, and I knew I could well begin. Then the hair on my head began to grow, and in a short time I was completely cured. I wish I could tell everybody who has eczema to use Cuticura. Mrs. Wm. Hunt, 135 Thomas St, Newark, N. J, Sept. 28, 1908." Peter Drug & Chem.

HIS RIVALS ARE EXONERATED Inquiry Court Decides That Lieutenant Was to Blame for Own Death—Mother Will Ask Congress to Start New Probe. Washington—That Lieut. James Sutton of the United States marine corps killed himself accidentally or with suicidal intent is the finding of the court of inquiry which has been approved by Acting Secretary Wintrop of the navy and so far as the department is concerned the case is closed. Counsel for the Suttons intimated, however, after the court's decision and because definitely known, that they were far from satisfied with the verdict, and that they probably would take the issues involved to congress with a view of having a full hearing of the case by a committee of that body. In part the court says: "Leut. Sutton is directly and solely responsible for his own death, which was self-inflicted, either intentionally or in an effort to shoot one of the persons restraining him, and his death was not caused by any other injury whatever." The court also finds: That Lieut. Uley failed in his duty as senior officer present, under article 286, United States navy regulations, 1909, in appearance, to arm himself instead of calling on those present for assistance and following Lieut. Sutton, preventing his arming himself, by force if necessary, and turning him over to the custody of the officer of the day. That Lieut. Bevan, officer of the guard, failed in his duty as officer of the guard in not disarming Lieut. Sutton by force, while in front of his (Sutton's) tent. That Lieut. Willing, the officer of the day, failed in his duty as officer of the day in not immediately assisting by force in helping to disarm Lieut. Sutton when he arrived on the scene before the fatal shot was fired That the charges of wilful murder and conspiracy to conceal it, made by the complainant, Mrs. Sutton, mother of Lieut. Sutton, are purely imaginary and unsupported by even a shadow of evidence, truth or reason. The court recommends, however, that in view of the youth and decided experience of Lieuts. Utley, Willing and Bevan at the time, and of the altogether unusual conditions of excitement, threats and danger during the aforementioned fray, that no further proceedings be taken. The report is signed by J. Hood, commander United States navy, president of the board, and Henry Leonard, major, United States marine corps.

I would never think of going back to coffee again. I would almost as soon think of putting my hand in a fire after I had once been burned. "A young lady friend of ours had stabbed me in the long time, and could not get well as long as coffee. She finally quit coffee and began the use of Postum and is now perfectly well. Yours for health." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." GEMSUS JOBS NOT POLITICAL GEMSUS JOBS NOT POLITICAL TAFT SAYS ENUMERATORS MUST NOT ELECTIONEER.

Denver, Col., Aug. 19.—Great cheers greeted Gifford Pinchot, chief forester of the United States department of agriculture, as he began and ended his term as chief forester of the sppl congress. He was introduced by Thomas F. Walsh, the multimillionaire of Colorado, with whom he exchanged compliments. The so-called "enemies of Pinchot" said they were satisfied with the conservation ideas of the speaker and joined in the cheering as lustily as did the adherents of the chief forester. Mr. Walsh, in presenting Mr. Pinchot, referred to the latter as a patriotic young American, who, rich in his own right, is devoting himself to the service of the country, and whose mistakes, if there are any, are those of the head and not of the heart. In return, Mr. Pinchot spoke of the mine magnate as a "soldier of the common good" and wished for more of his kind. And in this mood the congress lainted with evident satisfaction. Based on the "Roosevelt policies," Mr. Pinchot's address dwelt on conservation as a practical business policy. He said that the law oriology of one great staple will not only injure that particular business, but will strike at the heart of many allied interests. He paid his compliments to Roosevelt.

Tildings Borne by Amateur Actor Sufiicient to Lead Hearers to Expect the Worst. The Shakespeare club of New Orleans used to give amateur theatrical performances, a most worth distinguished for the local prominence of the actors. Once a social celebrity, with a gorgeous costume, as one of the lords in waiting had only four words to say: "The queen has swooned." As he stepped forward his friends applauded vociferously. Bowing his thanks, he faced the king and said, in a high-pitched voice: "The swoon has queered." There was a roar of laughter; but he waited patiently, and made another attempt: "The swine has cooed." Again the walls trembled and the stage manager said in a voice which sounded like a cry from the house. "Come off, you dogged me." THOSE NEW HATS A man running away from a burger. Your Salary.

Robinson, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria certainly has merit. Is not its age, its continued use by mothers through all these years, and the many attempts to imitate it, sufficient recommendation? What can a physician ask? Leave it to the mothers." Dr. Edwin F. Purdee, of New York City, says: "For several years I have recommended your Castoria and shall always continue to do so, as it has invariably produced beneficial results." Dr. N. B. Sizer, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I object to what are called patent medicines, where maker alone knows what ingredients are put in them, but I know the formula of your Castorl and advise its use."
