Y. C. M. C. A. NOTES
Rev. Dr. J. C. Bied, president of the Iowa State Afro-American Council and pastor of the Second Baptist church of Ottumwa, delivered a splendid address on "Bace Segregation," at the meeting of the Young Colored of the Christian University afternoon address contained much food for thought and was well received by a large and representative audience of the men and boys of the city. The Y. M. C. M. A. quartette composed of C. M. G. H. A. quartette composed of M. M. Mass added much to the interest of the meeting y the masterful way in which they rendered several sacred quartettes among which was an original arrangement of "Lead, Kindly Light" by Mr. Wilson, a member of the quartet. On next Sunday afternoon the meeting will be addressed by Hom. A. J. Mathis, Ex-Police Judge and Ex-Mayor of Des Moines and also by Rev. A. H. Higgs, D. L. L. B., District Suppl. of the St. Joseph District, of the first Negro graduate of the State University of Iowa. No Negro man or boy over fourteen should fail to hear these.
Mrs. Emma Pyree of the Callanan Industrial Club acted as matron during the first week of summer and girls at the "wintery afternoon."

Edwards, a graduate of the American Correspondence School of Dressmaking, will conduct free sewing classes at the Association rooms each Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. All绞衣room to 20 years of age admitted free, the only requirement being that each pupil must bring her own material to work upon and when the garment is finished it will be sold for one half a regular dress-maker's charge for making and the proceeds deposited in the treasury of the Junior Christian Endeavor Society. The students and ability to give such instruction to their girls at home should take advantage of this gratitudous service which is being rendered by one who is competent to teach and willing to sacrifice for a worthy cause.
The members of the church are hoping for great things in the rally next Sunday. A number of have pledged ten and five dollars each, the hope being to raise a sum sufficient to pay off the church debt. Services morning and night as usual. A cordial welcome to all.

In our last week's special edition in giving a list of Iowa High School graduates we naturally made a few errors in giving a list of 140 odd names, therefore those that have since been reported are in Ottumwa the name of Miss Edna Fowler should have been Miss Edna Martin, now a clerk in a music store in Red Oak.
In Gravity the name of Miss Frances Johnson should be added.

When a telephone line is electrostatically charged the telephone acts as a condenser. The winding serves as one plate of the condenser, the frame of the receiver as the dielectric and the person who is holding the receiver to his ear as the other plate of the condenser. In order to prevent this condenser from discharging through the person, a German inventor provides a grounded metallic cover for the receiver, the capacity of which is somewhat greater than that of the body.

ident Taft.
In a message to congress the presi:
dent scathingly arraigned the mani
facturers of what he denounced aa
“dangerous drug frauds” and urged
congress to amend at this session the
‘pure food and drug lew to strengthen
‘hat act in vital polnts of weakness
recently potnted out by decisions of
the United States Supreme court.
President Taft believes that unless
the law is amended forthwith the
country will again be flooded by “in

Which were common before the pure
food law frst was enacted.
‘The message was transmitied to

“has been vigorously enforced,” more

“The Supreme court has held ina

Friday, the 18th, dawned clear and
mild for Miss Cynthia, and the early
hnorning breezes that ruled the tar
hale on het pillow breathed no_ hint
of adventure, though they. wakened
her long before the usual bour. She
opened her eyes on a window-framed
Jindseape with the downriver hills
and banks in the distance. She had
the feeling that she was going on
vith a dream in the top of the barn
in which she hed been Just about to
roice her admiration for the picture
toa tall and glorified Miss Selina Lue
in gray knlekerbockers, when her con-
sciousness formed complete connec:
tion and she sat up and stretched ‘her
white arms with a smile. The im:
pertinence of the man to presume to
mix in her dreams, even it his ple-
tures were wonderful!
‘Aa Miss Cynthia dressed in’ « Ils
urely way she found it hard to keep
her thoughts from straying to tho
blutt and the barn. She had for more
than a week controlled the inclination
of her feet to wander in that direc.
tion, and now she felt impelled to see
iilss Selina’ Lue and. Blossom—and—
On dear! how she did love those ple
tores!
On her way downstaits. she looked
eauilously in her mother’s door and
found her awake and in the act of
taking her morning nourishment,
Brerything Mrs. Jackson Pago did
‘was in the way of @ ceremony, and
the recetved Miss Cynthia graciously
—in a potnt-lace breskfast-cap.
“How ere you, mother, this lovely
morning?” she:tngulred gently. Mrs
Jeckson Page preferred to be spcken
‘to in cadences of deepest sympathy at
all times,
“As well as T can ever hope to be.”
she answered languidly, though she
‘Apped with a degree of relish the seo-
ond cup of coffee and began a busl-
nessitke attack on a substantial tray

her. “Are you golng in to town to-

‘on one of the streets sald to be paved
with gold.
After a proper degre of concern and
consolation, Migs Cynthia beat a hasty
retreat down the steps. The telephone
stopped her on her way to the outslde
world and an animated conversation
ensued, conducted by Byelyn Branch,
‘Who was up and doing far earller than

Miss Cynthla finally reached the door

then only on the most urgent bust

‘The Anointing and Coronation.
King George now was divested of
his crimson robes by the lord great
chamberlain and seated himself in

Drensts and the palme of both hands,
and blessed him, ‘The king was next

farms put on thelr coronets.
‘The inthronization was a handsome
part of tho ceremonies, The king
‘was lifted up Into his throne by the
archbishops, the bishops and certain
Deers, and all the great officers and
those who bore the swords, the scep-
ters and other regalia grouped them:
selves about the steps of the throne.
Next the princes and peers did thelr
homage, led by the archbishop of
Canterbury and the prince of Wales.
Each of these and the premier duke,
marquls, earl, viscount and baron

The anointing and crowning of

with the ring, was crowned by the
archbishop of York and received the
scepter and the ivory rod with the
dove.

Anclert Uses of Bloodnounds.
Although the use of bloodhounds
or tracking criminals still survives,
another ancient use of these dose
‘seems to have died out. Bloodhounds
‘were at one. time often called upoo
to arsist an army in the field, the
forces ‘with which the earl of Essex
‘Suppressed the Irish rebellion in the
time of Ellsabeth, for instance, being
‘ecompanted by 800 dogs. In the Scot
tah clan feuds and the wars botwoen
England and Scotland blocdhounds
‘were regularly employed in tracking
fugitive warriors, and both Wallace
and Bruce were hunted in thie man
ner. Wallace 1s sald to have baffled
his purruers by killing a follower and
Jeaving the corpse for the hound to
find, while Bruce adopted the lest
eruel plan of wading some distance
down a stream and ascending + tree
which overhung the water.
