Smith of British Sierra Leone, Scholved in the Sociological, Financial and Economic Questions of His Country, Is Shrewd Statesman and Scholar. By "BRUCE GRIT." It was, I believe. Burke who said, "Great men are the guideposts of a nation," and Shakespeare said, "Some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." Both Burke and Shakespeare were wise men, and the guideposts of a nation," and "some men are born great." The subject of our sketch is a guidepost not only of a nation, but of the nations, and he was born great- NON. JAMES CARMICHAEL SMITH. great in the conception and promulgation of practical and useful ideas, great in the ability to state with clearness and precision his views upon the financial, sociological, economic and industrial questions, to the consideration of which he has devoted years of patient study and application; great as a scholar and thinker who has revolutionized modern accepted theories as to the solution of the problems which he has worked out with mathematical accuracy and which touch humanity the world over at every point. Not many Negroes in the United States are cognant of the fact that in the British colony of Sierra Leone, on the west coast of Africa, there resides a colored man who occupies the position of postmaster general of that colony and who is president of the government and dishures hundreds of thousands of pounds sterling annually. James Carmichael Smith is a many sided man and an intensely busy man. Aside from his official duties he has found time to write in the past few years eight or more valuable books on financial, economic and industrial subjects. Their literary value is attested by the funding by books and journals devoted to the discussion of these questions and the highest authorities on economics in the world as well as by leading financiers and sociologists in Europe. Asia and Africa. There is but little if any doubt as to the accuracy of the writer's knowledge of his subject. Mr. Smith gets right at the kernel of his subject in the following vigorous analysis: down to the facts and realize the magnitude of the financial power controllable today by small groups of men, some of them the most villainously unscrupulous specimens of the human race, and these money kings effectively rule the men who nominally govern the nations." This is neat put and as is inclusive as it is true to the facts as they present themselves to every reader, and has been the trend of affairs in financial circles in the United States. Mr. Smith was born in 1852. From June, 1876, to August, 1889, he was chief clerk and storekeeper of the imperial treasury and commissariat department in the Bahamas; member of the board of education, 1888 to 1902; postmaster, 1889 to 1893; justice of the peace, 1890; member of Bahama house of assembly, 1882, 1889 and 1896; resigned in 1897; assistant postmaster general, 1897; assistant postmaster of peace, 1897; postmaster general, 1897, 1899 and 1900; acturer of institutes, Sierra Leone, from January, 1890, to January, 1900; postmaster general and manager of government savings bank, 1900; acting collector of customs, October, 1902, to April, 1903; acting colonial treasurer in 1900 and postmaster general in 1000. The race may well feel proud of this able and scholarly representative, who has trodden paths which few if any members of it have thus far ventured to do, either in Europe or America. He was a member of the Society of Mr. Smith had said the last word on the subjects covered in his eight or more books and numerous pamphlets which he has written on the money question and kindred questions growing out of it. If John C. Caliboun, who doubted the ability of the Negro to conjugate a Greek verb was in the flesh and read one of Mr. Smith's books he would probably acknowledge the truth of the famous utterance of the polished African Ternace: "Homo sum; humani nihil a me alienum puto." The A. M. E. Sunday School held its exercises Christmas night. A nice program was rendered by the little four. There will be a watch meeting at the A. M. E. church beginning at 10 o'clock.

As the taxes were pretty heavy before, the additional burden will not make the people any more contented.

The top record of American building permits in October were: Seattle, 1,247; Brooklyn Borough, 1,325; Philadelphia, 1,253; Chicago, 988. In cost Brooklyn and Chicago were nearly alike, with New York county, which erects few buildings but big ones, far ahead of either. French seronians have ascended in a monoplane to a height of 1,245 feet and in a biplane to 1,181 feet. While people generally are unacquainted with details they are satisfied that flying machines are vindicated their name. A foreigner must be in China for 20 years before he is naturalized. This has the advantage of giving him time for reflection and prevents the government from absorbing him too hastily. But it is a very hard system on the explanation of a foreign vote.

Dee Moles—Fire of unknown origin totally destroyed the old Tahoma bench on East Grand avenue between Fourth and Fifth streets and did considerable damage to adjoining buildings. Grow Big Lemona. Muscinate, in-I. J. E. Krans of this city has certainly put California and Florida off the map when it comes to growing lemona, and the good old Iowa soil can still produce about the best there is in the way of fruit, and, in fact, products of most any nature. The above stem impelled through the display of three immense lemona the largest weighing fourteen poundes and the largest a pound and three-quarters, measuring fifteen inches in circumference and eighteen inches from the stem around to the stem. The lemona are surely the biggest ever seen in Muscinate and are now on display in Mr. Krans's window. About nine years ago Mr. Kranz planted the seeds in the solid ground at his greenhouses. The growth naturally seemed slow, and last year the tree bore fruit for the first time, one lemon appearing. This year eleven were on the tree. Mr. Kranz has grafted several other trees from the one seedling, and all are doing well, and are many years a good crop of Muscatine produced lemons, weighing about one and one-half pounds, will result. Some idea of how enormous the lemons are may be gained from the fact that they are equal to about a dozen ordinary lemons. Sportsmen are Aroused Iowa Falls—Sportmen in this part of the state are aroused over the proposed diversion of the hunters' license funds now in the hands of the state, and should an attempt be made to turn over the funds raised the past year by the hunters who have paid the license under the new law, formal action will be taken. It is the sentiment among sportmen that these funds should be used for the purpose originally intended, that of protecting the fish and game in the state, with the ultimate end in view of making a game preserve of the state where licensed hunters may find plenty of game for legitimate hunting. It is cited that other states have accomplished this object after a few years of protection to game and fish. With $30,000 raised by the sportmen's license fees, the true sportmen feel that these funds should be used exclusively for game and fish protection. Should state officials seek to divert the funds to other purposes, the sportmen of this part of the state propose to file a protest that will carry with it much weight. Iowa Second State in Crop Value. Des Moines—Iowa ranked second in value of agricultural crops this year, according to figures compiled by Secretary Geis Botsford of the Commercial club from the various state reports.

SAYS PEOPLE ARE PLUNDERED SAYS PEOPLE ARE PLUNDERED CHIEF FORESTER PINCHOT FLAYS "RICH CRIMINALS." Declares Special Interests Have Made Repeated Attacks on U. S. Forest Service. New York — That the people of the United States have been the complacent victims of a system of plunder of the public forests—crimes often perpetrated by men of high station in commercial and industrial life—of Chief United States Forester Gifford Pinchot in an address before a number of prominent publishers at the University club. Condemning the methods of these "rich criminals," he said: "But they have suffered from a serious moral perversion by which it becomes praworthy to do for a corporation things which they would refuse with the lootiest scorn to do for themselves. Fortunately we can all delusion is passing rapidly WAY." "The American people have evidently made up their minds that our natural resources must be conserved," he said. "That is good, but it settles only halt the question. For whose benefit shall they be conserved—for the benefit of the many, or for the use and profit of the few? The great conflict now being fought will decide. There is no other question before us that begins to be so important—or that will be so difficult to straddle—the great question between social interest and equal opportunity; between the few and the rights of the many; between government by men for human welfare and government by money for profit; between the men who stand for the Roosevelt policies and the men who stand against them. This is the essence of the conservation problem to-day. SLAYS GIRL; KILLS SELF Fondly Embracing Sweetheart Roy McKinney Shoots Her, Then Ends His Own Existence.

For twenty-five years I suffered agony from a terrible humor, completely covering my head, neck and shoulders, so even to my wife, I became an object of dread. At large expense I consulted the most able doctors far and near. Their treatment was of no avail, nor was that of the —— Hospital, during six months' efforts. I suffered on and concluded there was no help for me this side of the grave. Then I heard of some one who had been cured by Cuticula Remedies and thought that a trial could do no harm. In a surprisingly short time I was completely cured. S. P. Keys, 147 Congress St. Boston, Mass., Oct. 12, 93". Face Covered with Pimples "I congratulate Cuticura upon my speedy recovery from pimples which covered my face.

To-night is the time of all times to plan for the future. To resolve; to forswear our petty vices; to lay aside the evils in our lives. Have you, John, considered what to-night means to you, and to me? Have you thought of the things I have gone without and might have had but for your extravagance? Have you counted the cost to you, and to me, of your so-called pleasures? You sit there smoking a vile weed, but have you thought of the gowns you have burned up within a year? I venture to say no. Let's talk it over, John, just you and I, and as the old year dies plan for better and more noble things in the year to come. Said Mr. A to Mrs. A on Dec. 31:— Your sentiments, my dear, are noble on approval. We will plan to-night for the year not the year alone, but years. We will study a that mean a better and truer life for you and little things we might improve upon. So man to spend the small sums we now but throw av novel you are reading would have purchased need. Now let's begin by my giving up cigs but vile weeds, and you your novels, which are of trash and twaddle. Your sentiments, my dear, are noble ones, and meet with my approval. We will plan to-night for the year that is to come. Yes, not the year alone, but years. We will study and solve the problems that mean a better and truer life for you and me. There are many little things we might improve upon. So many better ways in which to spend the small sums we now but throw away. The price of that novel you are reading would have purchased the slippers I so badly need. Now let's begin by my giving up cigars, which I agree are but vile weeds, and you your novels, which are but the cheapest kind of trash and twaddle. Said Mrs. A to Mr. A on Dec. 31— With all the many vices with which you in- that you might overlook the one small pleasure admit there are more elevating books than pr am I to give up my only pleasure, the one sm get my wee mite of enjoyment? Do you, Jo- of me this sacrifice that you might have the not need? Your vices are so, great beside my mean all that you say about planning for the your club? It is but another of the many you incur year after year. With all the many vices with which you indulge yourself, it seems that you might overlook the one small pleasure which I have. Yes, I admit there are more elevating books than present-day novels. But am I to give up my only pleasure, the one small thing from which I get my wee mite of enjoyment? Do you, John, think it fair to ask of me this sacrifice that you might have the slippers you certainly do not need? Your vices are so, great beside my small one. If you really mean all that you say about planning for the future, why not give up your club? It is but another of the many needless expenses which you incur year after year. Said Mr. A to Mrs. A on Dec. 31t- That's right, and I'm glad you mentioned of it before. That will be money saved. Now and it's fair. My resignation from the club will join me in the good work and mail to-night the bridge club or class or whatever you may is always better when it's doubled, and that you accomplished, two savings made, instead of or dear; will you join me in turning over this new of a new year? The question is entirely new course, that you will. That's right, and I'm glad you mentioned it. I had not thought of it before. That will be money saved. Now I propose a bargain, and it's fair.

You certainly can be horrid upon this one night of all nights when you should look back upon the things which you have needlessly robbed me of during the year just closing. I should think you would be ashamed to sit there and point to my few small pleasures as though they were vices from which I should escape. There is certainly little enough in life for me without being deprived of books and social intercourse. But if I must, I must, and if the sacrifice of my innocent pleasures will put a stop to your many vices I presume I must offer them on the altar of noble and obedient wifehood.

Dated 12 o'clock, midnight, December 31. NEW YEAR MESSAGE-- "BE NOT AF MESSAGE--- NOT AFRAID" NEW YEAR MESSAGE--- "BE NOT AFRAID" At the beginning of a New Year we can receive no better message than the old one: "Fear not, for I am with thee." It has come to us and made us strong and unafraid many times before, and all who have heard of it know the comfort of it. So we not need for our equipment a fresh accession of courage? Fear is a paralleling thing. We may be shaken by many storms which do not wreck us, but a storm of fear plays sad havoc with all our forces. That there is nothing to be afraid of is a fact difficult for even faith to receive, but it is more easy, as it ought to be, to the old than to the young. So many times we have been frightened, alarmed which have praised to be false if the years had taught us no lessons in quietness. So often the trials we feared were unreal, the passages which looked darlly were lighted by some glimmer of hope there was a path across the desert and appear to be trackless, and we have come to me quite high to climb. Some cares and crosses have become quite familiar to us and we have some blessings which nothing else could have brought us we have seen certain divine truth which only they could have illuminated. If we were asked we should mit that we would rather have throught the blessing together to go without them both. Therefore, let us take heart and let the New Year call be one of shoes. All is we. —"heot straid." At the beginning of a New Year we can receive no better message than the old one: "Fear not, for I am with thee." It has come to us and made us strong and unafraid many times before, and all who have heard it know the comfort of it. Do we not need for our equipment a fresh accession of courage?

Schooner Davis Palmer, with 12 Men Wrecked Off Massachusetts Coast — Boston Laws 88,000,000. Boston — The opening chapter of the death toll taken on the sea by the great storm which Sunday and Monday swept New England includes the news of the probable loss of the big five-masted schooner Davis Palmer with 12 Men. David Palmer was the wrecking of all other vessels along the Massachusetts const. Capt Cod is still cut off and with the restoration of communication there it is feared that a tale of marine disasters and storm damage unequalled in years will be related. Fifteen lives are known to have been lost in New York and there in Chicago, Everett and 12 through the wreck of the Davis Palmer. Five million dollars' loss in the estimate made of the havoc wrought in and around Boston by the blizzard which swept New England and drove a record tide over the cost. Thirty-two cities and towns were plunged in darkness, wounding the cuttings of the electric light service. The storm was easily the greatest that New England has experienced in 11 years. All along the coast, phenomenal tides we've reported. In many places sea walls were battered to pieces, boulevards ruined and curbs and houses along the shore destroyed. In Boston the tide swept over the city, and the coast as far inland as the Chamber of Commerce. It is estimated that the damage in this section will reach at least $500,000. The worst damage was in Chelsea and Everett, where, it is believed, it will be several weeks before the tidegate on the island End river can be reached and the flooded district reclaimed. Having escaped through the snow, scantily clad, and many of them bare-footed, the residents of the submerged section of Chelsea had to stand for hours in the blizzard waiting for wagons to take them into shelter. Hundreds of the homeless were taken care of in relief stations established in public schools and churches. New York's storm experienced in the east in 20 years tied up traffic in cities from Pennsylvania to Maine and disarranged train schedules in half a dozen states, according to reports received here. Conditions are improving rapidly, however, and railroads and municipalities are making every effort to move intercity and local traffic. A number of persons met death through exposure or accident—five in Philadelphia and about 18 in New York. In Philadelphia business is almost at a standstill. Through trains were late, only one street car line was running and the city is suffering from a shortage of milk. Reports from Pittsburgh and Harrahsburg indicate that conditions are improving rapidly. ROCK ISLAND STOCK SOARS New York Exchange Appoint Committee to Inquire into Alleged "Corner" in Common Shares. New York.—Following one of the most sensational movements in stock exchange history, with Rock Island common shares as its subject—a movement, too, enshrined in some mysteries of the exchange—the governors of the exchange met Monday and perfected plans for a rigorous investigation. The governors appointed a special committee of inquiry who began their labors at once to run down the men who "cornered" Rock Island, and gave Wall street a brief chill. At the opening of the market Rock Island common, which had closed Friday at 49%, started at 50%, and in the next 18,800 shares ran up to 80. A minute later it touched 81 at which price 2,000 shares changed hands. It then fell back, as rapidly as it had risen, to 50. The whole affair was over in less than half an hour. DICKINSON AT SAN JUAN War Secretary and Party Dine with Gov. Colton After Landing from Cruiser. San Juan, P. R. — J. M. Dickinson, American secretary of war, accompanied by Brig. Gen. Clarence R. Edward, chief of the bureau of insular affairs, and party, arrived here on a gay march. Many persons gathered at the whart to witness the landing, and the visit of the secretary has been the occasion of a display of elaborate decorations. Secretary Dickinson has been on an inspection of Santo Domingo, giving special attention to the revolutionary conditions in that island. He will make an inspection also of Porto Rico. Gov. Colton gave a dinner in honor of the distinguished visitors. Ex-Mayor of Elgin Killed. Elgin, III—Falling on an icy sidewalk, former Mayor Charles H.

If you have an enemy, pernade him so go deer hunting. Nature smiled on football—and the undertakers—this year. Snowbirds are crowding the quail pretty close in the northwest. See that your horse is well blanked and well shod during the winter. Mars must have started a deep waterways movement thousand of years ago. The football season is ended, and boxers are figuring up the dead and injured. It will be new Turkey in fact, with telephones and telephone girls in Constantinople. The high price of food has seriously reduced the income of many stomach specialists. Ohio may be the greatest state up in the air, but Texas is pre-eminent on the ground. Indian summer is always sure of getting the glad hand when it plays a return engagement. With your five or six inch object glass telescope, you may easily see Mr. Halley's comet now. If football would eliminate mass plays it would no longer be encumbered with a death list. In Chicago are men who make bomb-throwing a profession. In Russia it is a habit, not a profession. Lots of old-fashioned people will soon begin to tell us of the time when Christmas used to come in the winter. Spotts on the sun now may be seen with the naked eye, provided the eye is first modestly veiled with smoked glass. Victor Hugo made himself rich writing books, but that doesn't say that every man should take to writing books. One difference in current sports seems to be that in aviation necks are imperiled, while in football they are broken. Lunar eclipses that hope to receive favorable mention in this column must show up at a respectably early hour in the evening. An Indiana woman calls her husband a "nag" and a "scold." Doubtless the cruel creature has refused to button her gown in the back. A big concern in New Jersey is to bring about a cut in ribbons. So there will be some comforting exceptions to the rise of the necessaries of life. At last the Balkan states have formed some kind of union for the purpose of pushing the Balkan war cloud on the political weather map. There recently died in Nebraska a man who saw the Chicago fire, the Galveston flood, the San Francisco disaster and spent four winters in Alaska. The new Chinese minister to this country brings 67 servants with him. Astute man. Had he made it 57 he would have been in a pickle with the paragraphers. It must be really awkward for a bride whose husband was careless about the staying qualities of his divorce to discover that she never was really married. There is no wild enthusiasm over the successful efforts of a French scientist to make a dead dog howl. It is hardly necessary to start an investigation into the cause for this lack of appreciation. Director Lowell of the observatory at Flathead, A. T., reports the discovery of the first Antarctic snowfall of the season on Mars. It is not now up to the director of some other observatory to demand at once samples of the snow before the report can be believed? Discoverers are not taking the words of other discoverers without proofs these days. National budgets appear to be the chief source of worry to European governments. France is the latest in experience to be able in this direction. He increased budget this year is $400,000 greater than the preceding one, and provides for new taxes which make the taxpayers sit up and take notice. As the taxes were pretty heavy before, the additional burden will not make the people any more contented. Those so-called craters on the moon may be merely the marks of bumps received in collisions with other orbs, but that theory does not seem to explain the presence of a tall cone in the center of so many of them. The top record of American building permits in October were: Seattle, 1, 147; Brooklyn Borough, 1, 125; Philadelphia, 1, 153; Chicago, 866; in county, Chicago, 1, 125; alike, with New York county, which erect few buildings but big ones, far ahead of either. French astronauts have ascended in a monoplane to a height of 1, 145 feet and in a biplane to 1, 181 feet. While people generally are unaquainted with details they are satisfied that flying machines are vindicating their name. A foreigner must be in China for 20 years before he is naturalized. This has the advantage of giving him time for reduction and prevents the government from absorbing him too hardly. But it is a very hard system on the organization of a foreign vote. 11 BRICKAND TILE MEN Will Hold Twenty-eighth Convention in Des Moines.

Tabernacle Destroyed by Fire. Des Moines — Fire of unknown origin totally destroyed the old Tabernacle on East Grand avenue between Fourth and Fifth streets and did considerable damage to adjoining buildings. Grows Big Lemons. Muscinate, Ia.-J. E. Kranz of this city has certainly put California and Florida off the map when it comes to growing lemons, and the good old Iowa soil can still produce about the best there is in the war fruit, and, in fact, prove that statement is impelled through the display of three immense lemons, the smallest weighing one and one-quarter pounds and the largest a pound and three-quarters, measuring fifteen inches in circumference and fifteen inches from the stem around to the stem. The lemona are surely the biggest ever seen in Muscinate and are now on display in Mr. Kranz's window. About nine years ago Mr. Krzans planted the seeds in the solid ground at his greenhouses. The growth naturally seemed slow, and last year the tree bore fruit for the first time, one lemon appearing. This year eleven were on the tree. Mr. Krzans has grafted several other trees from the one seedling, and all are doing well, and are many years a good crop of Muscatine produced lemons, weighing about one and one-half pounds, will result. Some idea of how enormous the lemons are may be gained from the fact that they are equal to about a dozen ordinary lemons. Sportmen are Aroused. Iowa Falls—Sportmen in this part of the state are aroused over the proposed diversion of the hunters' license funds now in the hands of the state, and should an attempt be made to turn over the funds raised the past year by the hunters who have paid the license under the new law, formal action will be taken. It is the sentiment among sportsmen that these funds should be used for sports, originally intended, that of protecting the fish and game in the state, with the ultimate end in view of making a game preserve of the state where licensed hunters may find plenty of game for legitimate hunting. It is cited that other states have accomplished this object after a few years of protection to wild game and fish. With $30,000 raised by the sportsman's license fee, the state should be used for these funds should be used exclusively for game and fish protection. Fremont Drainage Ditch. Fremont Drainage Ditch. Sidney.—Word has been received from the clerk of the supreme court of Iowa that in the case of the land owners vs. the board of supervillors in the matter of the drainage trail No. 2, decision has been decided in favor of the appellants, or land owners, which means the ditch will not be constructed. This matter has been in litigation for over two years.

THEY NEVER TOUCH ME TRUST EMPLOYE TO JAIL TRUST PRESIDENT JOHN CHINESE JOURNAL SAYS PEOPLE ARE PLUNDERED SAYS PEOPLE ARE PLUNDERED CHIEF FORESTER PINCHOT FLAYS "RICH CRIMINALS." Declares Special Interests Have Made Repeated Attacks on U. S. Forest Service. New York. — That the people of the United States have been the complacent victims of a system of plunder of the public forests—crimes often perpetrated by men of high station in commercial and social life as the救护员 of Chief U.S. Forester Gifford Pinchot in an address before a number of prominent publishers at the University club. Condemning the methods of these "rich criminals," he said: "But they have suffered from a serious moral perversion by which it becomes praiseworthy to do for a corporation things which they would refuse with the lootiest心思 to do themselves. Fortunately for us, all that delusion is passing rapidly away." "The American people have evidently made up their minds that our natural resources must be conserved," he said. "That is good, but it settles only halt the question. For whose benefit shall they be conserved—for the benefit of the many, or for the use and profit of the few? The great conflict now being fought will decide. There is no other question before us that begins to be so important—or that will be so difficult to straddle—the great question between social interest and equity community; between the few and the few, and the rights of the many; between government by men for human welfare and government by money for profit; between the men who stand for the Roosevelt policies and the men who stand against them. This is the essence of the conservation problem to-day. SLAYS GIRL; KILLS Fondly Embracing sweetheart Roy McKinney Shoots Her, Then Ends His Own Existence.

For twenty-five years I suffered agony from a terrible humor, completely covering mx head, neck and shoulders, so even to my wife, I became an object of dread. At large expense I consulted the most able doctors far and near. Their treatment was of no avail, nor was that of the —— Hospital, during six months' efforts. I suffered on and concluded there was no help for me this side of the grave. Then I heard of some one who had been cured by Cuticula Remedies and thought that a trial could do no harm.

To-night is the time of all times to plan for the future. To resolve; to forswear our petty vices; to lay aside the evils in our lives. Have you, John, considered what to-night means to you, and to me? Have you thought of the things I have gone without and might have had but for your extravagance? Have you counted the cost to you, and to me, of your so-called pleasures? You sit there smoking a vile weed, but have you thought of the gowns you have burned up within a year? I venture to say no. Let's talk it over, John, just you and I, and as the old year dies plan for better and more noble things in the year to come. Said Mr. A to Mrs. A on Dec. 31:— Your sentiments, my dear, are noble approval. We will plan to-night for the year not the year alone, but years. We will stucc that mean a better and truer life for you little things we might improve upon. So n to spend the small sums we now but throw novel you are reading would have purchase need. Now let's begin by my giving up but vile weeds, and you your novels, which of trash and twaddle. Your sentiments, my dear, are noble ones, and meet with my approval. We will plan to-night for the year that is to come. Yes, not the year alone, but years. We will study and solve the problems that mean a better and truer life for you and me. There are many little things we might improve upon. So many better ways in which to spend the small sums we now but throw away. The price of that novel you are reading would have purchased the slippers I so badly need. Now let's begin by my giving up cigars, which I agree are but vile weeds, and you your novels, which are but the cheapest kind of trash and taddle. Said Mrs. A to Mr. A on Dec. 31:— With all the many vices with which you that you might overlook the one small please admit there are more elevating books than am I to give up my only pleasure, the one get my wite mite of enjoyment? Do you, of this sacrifice that you might have the not need? Your vices are so, great beside me mean all that you say about planning for the your club? It is but another of the many you incur year after year. With all the many vices with which you indulge yourself, it seems that you might overlook the one small pleasure which I have. Yes, I admit there are more elevating books than present-day novels. But am I to give up my only pleasure, the one small thing from which I get my wee mite of enjoyment? Do you, John, think it fair to ask of me this sacrifice that you might have the slippers you certainly do not need? Your vices are so, great beside my small one. If you really mean all that you say about planning for the future, why not give up your club? It is but another of the many needless expenses which you incur year after year. Said Mr. A to Mrs. A on Dec. 31: That's right, and I'm glad you mentioned it. I had not thought of it before. That will be money saved. Now I propose a bargain, and it's fair. My resignation from the club will go in to-night if you will join me in the good work and mail to-night your withdrawal from the bridge club or class or whatever you may call it. A good deed is always better when it's doubled, and that will be two good deeds accomplished, two savings made, instead of one. What say you, my dear; will you join me in turning over this new leaf with the opening of a new year? The question is entirely needless, for I know, of course, that you will. That's right, and I'm glad you mentioned it. I had not thought of it before. That will be money saved. Now I propose a bargain, and it's fair. My resignation from the club will go in to-night if you will join me in the good work and mail to-night your withdrawal from the bridge club or class or whatever you may call it.

Sold Mrs. A to Mr. A on Dec. 31e- You certainly can be horrid upon the when you should look back upon the things robbed me of during the year just closing. be ashamed to sit there and point to my few they were vices from which I should escape enough in life for me without being deprive intercourse. But if I must, I must, and if it pleasures will put a stop to your many vices them on the altar of noble and obedient w did not think you would ask it. (Tears.) You certainly can be horrid upon this one night of all nights when you should look back upon the things which you have needlessly robbed me of during the year just closing. I should think you would be ashamed to sit there and point to my few small pleasures as though they were vices from which I should escape. There is certainly little enough in life for me without being deprived of books and social intercourse. But if I must, I must, and if the sacrifice of my innocent pleasures will put a stop to your many vices I presume I must offer them on the altar of noble and obedient wifehood. But, oh, John, I did not think you would ask it. (Tears.) Said Mr. A to Mrs. A on Dec. 31t- Now, wife, don't cry. I am a brute and anew and talk this over. Let's see if we have or others.

Let's start anew and talk this over. Let's see if we have hinned against ourselves or others. Let's see if our so-called vices are not mere pleasures to which we are entitled. I think they are. I see nothing we need repent of; nothing to swear off. I'll keep my cigars and you your novels. I'll keep my club and you your bridge game. We'll get gowns and slippers go hang if need be, and enjoy ourselves. Now, that is better, isn't it, my dear? That meets with your approval. I am sure, and we will greet the coming year with joy and not with tears and lamentations. Resolved by Mr. A and Mrs. A on Dec. 31: During the next year and the years to follow we will live our lives as we have lived them. We will enjoy to the full our several pleasures. We will make no new resolutions which we will later regret and break. We will not ask either of us from the other that which each is not willing to give to the other, and now let the New Year come. Dated 12 o'clock, midnight, December 31. NEW YEAR MESSAGE--- "BE NOT AFRAID" had taught us no lessons in quietness. So often the trials we feared were unreal, the passages which looked dark were lighted by some glimmer of hope there was a path across the desert which appeared to be trackless, and we were so high to climb. Some carees and crosses have become quite familiar to us and we have some blessings which nothing else could have brought us we have seen certain divine truth which only they could have illuminated. If we were asked we should admit that we would rather have throught passing together than without them to take heart again, and let the New Year call be one of cheas. All is we—"he not afraid." At the beginning of a New Year we can receive no better message than the old one: "Fear not, for I am with thee." It has come to us and made us strong and unafraid many times before, and all who have it know the courage of our equipment a fresh accession of courage? Fear is a paralyzing thing. We may be shaken by many storms which do not wreck us, but a storm of fear plays hadvoc with all our forces. That there is nothing to be afraid of is a fact difficult for even faith to receive, but it is more easy. We have the old one: the young. So many we have been frightened by alarms which have proved to be false that it would be strange if the years 38 LIVES ARE LOST IN STORM BLIZZARD IN EAST BRINGS DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. Schooner Davis Palmer, with 12 Mm, Wrecked Off Massachusetts Coast — Boston Logs $8,000,000. Boston — The opening chapter of the death toll taken on the sea by the great storm which Sunday and Monday swept New England includes the news of the probable loss of the big ship that was sunk with her crew of 12 men, off Boston harbor, and of the wrecking of nine other vessels along the Massachusetts coast. Capt Cod is still cut off and with the restoration of communication there it is feared that a tale of marine disasters and storm damage unequalled in years will be related. Fifty years ago it have been lost in New England, three in Chelsea and Everett and 12 through the wrecking of the Davin Palmer. Five million dollars' loss is the estimate made of the wavoc wrought in and around Boston by the blizzard which swept New England and drove a record tide over the cost thirty-two cities and towns were plummed in dawn owing to the cutting off of the electric light service. The storm was easily the greatest that New England has experienced in 11 years. All along the coast, phenomenal tides were reported. In many places sea walls were battered to pieces, boulevards ruined and curbs and houses along the shore destroyed. In Boston the tide swept over the city as far inland as the Chamber of Commerce. It is estimated that the damage in this section will reach at least $500,000. The worst damage was in Chelsea and Everett, where, it is believed, it will be several weeks before the tide gorges the island End river can be penetrated and the flooded district reclaimed. Having escaped through the snow, scantily clad, and many of them bare-footed, the residents of the submerged section of Chelsea had to stand for hours in the blizzard waiting for wagons to take them into shelter. Hundreds of the homeless were taken care of in relief stations established in public schools and churches. A storm experienced in the east in 20 years tied up traffic in cities from Pennsylvania to Maine and disarranged train schedules in half a dozen states, according to reports received here. Conditions are improving rapidly, however, and railroads and municipalities are making every effort to move intercity and local traffic. A number of persons met death through exposure or accident—five in Philadelphia and about 18 in New York. Philadelphia business is almost at a standstill. Through trains were only one street car line was running and the city is suffering from a shortage of milk. Reports from Pittsburgh and Harrisburg indicate that conditions are improving rapidly. ROCK ISLAND STOCK SOARS New York Exchange Appointed Committee to inquire Into Alleged "Corner" in Common Shares. New York.—Following one of the most sensational movements in stock exchange history, with Rock Island common shares as its subject—a movement, too, enshrouded in some myriad of rumors, the governors of the exchange met Monday and perfected plans for a rigorous investigation. The governors appointed a special committee of inquiry who began their labors at once to run down the men who "cornered" Rock Island, and gave Wall street a brief chill. At the opening of the market Rock Island common, which had closed Friday at 49%, started at 50%, and in one string of transactions amounting to nearly $200,000 later it touched 81 at which price 2,000 shares changed hands. It then fell back, as rapidly as it had risen, to 50. The whole affair was over in less than half an hour. DICKINSON AT SAN JUAN War Secretary and Party Dine with Gov.

Col. Gordon Successe McLaurin, Jackson, Miss.—Col. James Gordon was Monday appointed United States senator to succeed the late Senator A. J. McLaurin. DEVELOPMENT OF CENTRAL CANADA DEVELOPMENT OF CENTRAL CANADA THE STORY OF BIG YIELDS OF GRAIN COMES FROM EVERY SECTION. When the man in the States was told that he could get 160 acres of land in Central Canada—comprising the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta—that under cultivation would produce from 20 to 30 bushels of wheat to the acre, or if seeded to oats the yield would be 40 to 60 bushels, he was skeptical. The same story was told the man who wished to get nearer to existing lines of railway, and was only asked to pay $10,123 to many, many, some people and some others. The man who accepted the 160 acres as a free gift, as a homestead, and was willing to put in the required residence duties of three years has now a farm worth from fifteen to twenty dollars an acre. The man who chose to purchase, and did so, took up his residence just the same. He has land, that in many cases, is worth twice the money he paid for it. Both have the story of splendid yields was verified. They have had crops exceeding that promised; they have seen oats that yielded 100 bushels to average 40 and as high as 50 bushels to the acre. Their wheat was not a 57 lb. to the bushel article but with 62 and 63 lb. They have within the past year or two trunk lines of railway constructed through their district, and throwing out branch lines to the gates of their farm. They have seen schools established in their neighbourhood and the Government contributing largely to their expense. Churches have been erected, villages have been established, towns have sprung into existence and cities are grown to the new heights if the hand of some unseen conqueror was at work. But it was not; it was the legitimate offering of the wealth of the field which made all these things come about, naturally, and easy. The prairie that three years ago was merely prairie, a patch of brown, just waiting for the ploughman, is to-day dotted with tilled farms and splendid homes. The line of elevators with their glistening metallied fireproof sides and roofs, indicate the location of the town and the railroad. There is the new town up the hill, the elevator, the splendid store buildings and the comfortable hostelries denote wealth, beyond that of the strength of the man who fashioned and built them but the wealth of the soil, which means that the newness will be followed by a steady growth. The writer recently was a passenger over the Grand Trunk Pacific, the latest factor in this great marvelous field of development. The rapidity with which towns were being built up, the farmsteads occupied, was something even his experienced eye had not looked into this new transcontinental was the distinguishing mark of progress. There was not a mile of the length of the road from Winnipeg to Edmonton and its way that did not bear token of the revenue of the road. Because it is made of this not, because it is the last in the best built roads on the Continent and traverses one of the best districts of a country. It is well operated, and already has gone into active service as another means of transportation, and the speedy transit from the grain fields to the shipping centres. It had been the intention in this article to have spoken of some of the yields of grain that have made the farmers of Central Canada contented this year, but space will not permit, so that delightful task will be taken in another issue. In the meantime it would be well for the reader, if he is interested, to put himself in touch with some official of the Canadian Government that might be useful in making the best possible contribution in Central Canada, and become one of those who will be instrumental in building up a great country to the north. In doing so, you will be assisting the United States. In a few years' time the United States will be a wheat importer. Canada will supply the wheat and you will be one of the producers.

Among the most interesting entertainment this season was the night school program at the school of thirty-five or forty scholars and they are doing well. The program is called the evening. The school is under the management of Prof. C. W. Rodgers, who has shown that he knows how to handle both old and young. He has a school of thirty-five or forty scholars and they are doing well. The program is called the evening. The declaration "Advice to Girls," by Mrs. Mary Rhodes, was addressed with much interest. The debate was the main feature of the evening. The subject was "Resolved, That women should be educated." Affirmative: Rev. W. H. Simmons and Mr. J. I. Carter; negative, Mrs. Emma Simmons and Mrs. Emma March. This was a hard fought battle. The affirmative struggled hard to convince the judges that a woman in education should be educated equally with him, but the ladies were successful in convincing the judges that she was not inferior to man and should be his equal in education. Both ladies deserve much attention, and the subject. The leading speaker, Mrs. Simmons, displayed natural ability in presenting the subject, while Mrs. March showed her firmness including subborn facts. The judges rendered a verdict. After the program, Mr. Hammer, of Tuskegee Institute, spoke encouragingly to the teacher and schools. Rev. B. W. Woodard, the pastor, spoke in the highest terms of the efforts. Hon. Geo. H.
