The clerk refused, whereupon the Treasurer discharged him at once. We command Mr. Dobson f91 his many act If more of our leading white men would promptly resist and punish the many wrongs and insults unjustly heaped upon our worthy citizens, it would create a better public sentiment for worth and honesty and fair dealing.

Since the setting of the date for the Republican National convention last week, the politicians all over the country is stirring up things. The faction lines are beginning to be drawn and each faction will appeal to the colored voter. The fact is that neither faction have done enough to merit our support. They will make great promises. They hunt every imaginary way to keep from fulfilling their promises. Even a part of the republican party believe it is right to reduce the Southern states delegates to the actual number that are permitted to vote, thus acquiescing the action of the Southern states in disfranchising the Negro, thus abrogating and nullifying the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the constitution. RUFFIAN PUNISHED BY MR. KENDALL. Iowa Solan Comes to Rescue of Aged Colored Washerwoman Knocked Down in Street. Below we clip an article from the Daily Washington Herald: "Shooting out his right arm with the skill and strength of a pugilist, Representative Kendall of Iowa, last night planted his fist, squarily on the lower point of the jaw of a white ruffian who had upset an aged colored washerwoman and scattered her basket, of fresh-laundered clothing in the dirty slush at the busy corner of Fifteenth street and New York avenue northwest. As the hard fist came in contact with his jaw, the ruffian went down and out, lying motionless in the snow for several seconds, and then rising to a sitting and gazing stupidly and with blinking eyes about him, as though trying to guess whether he had been kicked by a mule or struck with a sledgehammer, meanwhile nursing his swell- Watches.....

Cruise in now and pick it out Schlampp's Sixth and Locust St. lsg jaw with both hands. Representative Kendall assisted the aged colored woman to her feet, aided her in gathering her wash, and helped her on a Fourteenth street car, dismissed her exclamations of thanks and gratitude with a smile. Then he turned and left the vicinity, going to the New Willard to keep an appointment. The Representative was going from his apartments in the Ontario to the hostelry when he saw the assault on the colored woman. He had just alighted from the car when he saw two white men jottle against the woman and then stopped a second and then saw one of the white men knock down the woman with a blow of the fist, Mr. Kendall strode across to the man and lifted him. Angel welcomed our city and taken from our midst, Mrs. Carrie Picket, one of most beloved young women, who has been sick for some time with cancer of the stomach.

Kendall act in resenting that brutal insult is just what we are taught upon the free priice of Iowa. It is typical of our sense of justice. If perchance that old washwoman had been a white woman he would have done the same and every honest true American citizen will say that he did the right thing and we commend him. He is a true man with that vision that knows no color when it comes to treating human beings. If more of the Angle Saxon race would resent the wrongs unjustly heaped upon the defenseless colored man. This inferior race hated and unrespectable class would not burn, kill, murder and lynch human beings. There are thousands and thousands of white people who just shudder daily at the strocities and insults being heaped upon the black man, but they will say nothing to stop it. They seem to be afraid of public sensor, consequently will let the hoodlum have his course. Let all America take a lesson and profit by it. PROTECT BLACK WOMANHOOD. Never in the history of our lives we demand the great force for us to stand up as men and protect our wives and daughters with every spark of manhood in us from the ravages of the indecent street masheres who lay in wait to destroy the honor and virtue of our women. These human vultures are doing more to sink us into the depths of degradation than any other evil in existence. They are not all men of our race but men of other races as well, who are not satisfied with the association of the *s.arot* women of our race, but will use every means available to reduce any Negrowoman to a state of immorality. They have the temerity to ask Negro men to assist them in running their quarry. If the reader doubts the truthfulness of their statement let them ask the Negro hotel porter the saloon porter and even the Negro policeman, and if they would give you a求助 answer, they could tell of being asked to supply women of their race for immoral purposes for the men of other races. At one time it could be said that this abominable practice was confined to the south but at this day and age it is not restricted to any particular section of the country. We must awake to the fact that unless we arise and assert our manhood against this damnable practice. We will all be classed as an inferior people. A race a; nation is measured largely by the moral status of its women and when we fail to resent the insults of this kind that are heaped upon us. We are less than men and traitors to the advancement of humanity. Let us resolve that by the "eternal" we will protect the honor of our women with our manhood; money and our lives if necessary; and by doing this the world will respect us men.

For sale by all dealers' Secretaries of Cabinet Members May Need Them Any Time in Dealing With Granks. Five out of the nine well groomed and gentlemanly private secretaries of members of President Taft's cabinet keep loaded revolvers handy in their desks every day of the week. They do not often use them, but there are just enough cranks departments to Washington and the revolver feel good to the touch occasionally. Robert O. Bailey, private secretary to Franklin MacVegh, secretary of the treasury, keeps his even handler than a desk drawer. If you were to step back of the big mahogany desk at which Mr. Bailey works you would find a small shelf to the right beside his knee. Upon it there is a business-like looking 33 caliber revolver. It has been there ever since Mr. Bailey was demanded to see Secretary MacVegh that he might get "a license for free speech." Mr. Bailley was alone in the office on a midsummer day. Into it dashed a disheveled individual who had long neglected the art of the safety razor and who was plainly looking for trouble. He rushed up to the desk and, crowding close to Mr. Bailley, brought his fist violently down upon the blotter and shouted: "If demand a permit for free "I demand a permit for free speech." "All right" said Mr. Bailey; "go ahead." This seemed to be a surprise to the man, who showed a desire to shoot up the place. He recovered himself and stepped back a few paces. Then he began an oration. It lasted ten minutes. At a halt Mr. Bailey put in: "Fine; that's the way. You are all right." The crank accepted the verdict, made a deep bow and walked out of the room. Testa for Jurora. Probably every reader knows one or more persons of wide culture and sound judgment who are notoriously bad spellers. At times it seems as if the art of spelling correctly were a natural gift rather than an attainment. It is curious, therefore, that correct spelling should be considered an essential qualification for jury duty. Yet that is the view of counsel who are examining candidates for the jury which is to try the meat packers in Chicago. Several citizens summon the court and asked spell and define the following words: Irrelevant elimination, evasive; presumption, credibility, inadequate, elucidate, artificially untrained, interstate. It is quite possible that some of the prospective job and knew the meaning but not the ethnography of those test words. All of this in support of the contention that bad spelling is not necessarily a proof of general ignorance. American Soldier of Fortune. Gen. Homer Lea, U. S. A. (retired), now said to be a prominent figure in the Chinese revolutionary forces, has had a fascinating career since he resigned from the United States army to seek adventures in China. He held a commission as lieutenant general in the imperial army and spent a number of years interior of the americana making a name for himself as an officer and an author. With the uprising he quit the imperialists. General Lea is a native of Denver. His education was finished in California, at the University of the Pacific and at Stanford. Father Bernard Vaughan, the distinguished English priest and author, said of an unbeliever at a dinner in New York: "He misunderstands. He is like the little schoolgirl.

Emmet O'Neal before the conference of the A. M. E. church recently in session at Montgomery, Ala. It is interesting to use to note how these colored people in the south get on with leading officials. Seldom or never does one read of the governor of a northern state attending any of the conferences of our people, nor do we read of any of them offering words of advice which will encourage colored people to better living. Never to be found around colored people except when they are seeking their votes. The report of this incident in the far south, however, is so interesting that we are publishing it herewith just as it appears in the Advertiser: "The fourth day's session of the A. M. E. conference, which is in session at the Madison Avenue church, was a gala day for negro Methodists of the state. The principal feature of the day being an address by Gov. Emmet O'Neal, who had been invited to speak before the conference. "At high noon all available space in the auditorium was filled by negroes who had turned out to do honor to the chief magistrate of Alabama. A committee headed by Rev. R. H. Pope, the pastor of the church, met the governor in front of the church and escorted him to the platform. H. W. Hiron of Bentonville, the wife of the minister, helped him to Rt. Rev. H. B. Parka, the presiding bishop, who introduced the governor to the conference. A Chautauqua salute was given, amid long applause. Governor O'Neal assured the conference of his sympathy and for interest in the negro ministry. He said: "No class counts for so much in the uplift and advancement of your people as does the negro ministry. It is for the interest of the white man as well as the black man to have the negro educated in the sciences and handcrafts of our civilization. To allow the negro to remain among us ignorant and vile may prove to be a weight about our necks to drag us down. While in New York some weeks ago, I was interviewed by New York University, the negro uncontrollable thirst for strong drunk responsible for the failure of prohibition on the south, I said emphatically, no. I was born and reared among negroes and for twenty-five years I practiced at the bar in Lauderdale county, yet I do not recall two negroes who were confirmed drunkards. I can never forget the loyalty of your race during the Civil war. History does not recount another instance where a servant race exhibited such loyalty to the master as has been exhibited by the American negro. I can never foot the same horse I long to occupy the governor's chair I shall do all in my power to see that even-handed justice is meted out to every citizen of this commonwealth, be he rich or poor, black or white." "Bishop Parks replied to the governor's address. "At the close of the reply a resolution of thanks was offered the governor." When strong men like Governor O'Neal are willing to speak out openly in praises of the loyalty of negroes and in determined assurance of his intention to mete out even-handed justice to blacks and whites alike they are entitled to our thanks. For one, The Age intends to give proper report to all such incidents. It is the kind of thing for which we publish this newspaper—New York Age. A New Orleans paper takes great pains to point out the desirability of giving the negro a square deal, and refers to many disabilities under which the negro labors in the south and nation. Some injustice may be expected under the circumstances. When it comes to the courts it is better that the negro stay out of them. The sooner the negro learns how to attend to his business and to avoid clashes with any and everybody the sooner he will learn the lesson which present unfavorable conditions are designed to teach. The point is not to be concerned too much about the privileges that are denied and to be concerned about the right use of those which are retained—Durham (N. U.) Reformer. "Have you ever thought of it—that great Son of Palestine was a carpenter's son," said Dr. E. G. Hirch of Chicago, in an address at Tuckekee Institute. "He did not have a classical education, but he learned the lesson of life in his father's carpenter shop; he did not go to academies, but he heard his divine father's call. Whatever message he had, he clothed it in the phraseology, not of the counting-room, and not of the drawing-room, but into the impressive vocabulary of the farmer and the artisan. In practicing and learning to practice the religion of inborn, you become Christianized, in the spirit of the great teacher, and Judized in the spirit of the great Jewish prophets." A number of industrious colored boys could find profitable employment after school hours and learn a valuable trade if they could be induced to put in a few hours around either or both of the local colored printing shops. There are too many colored boys wearing out valuable shoe leather on Commerce street smooing cigarettes and going to the big general--San Antonio Inquirer. Spend your money with your race. They are struggling to build you up; help them. There is no occasion for alarm on the part of the white people of this state because the negro population shows a slightly larger rate of increase. They still outnumber the colored people about eighteen to one, thus making the fear of "negro domination" groundless. The negroes, however, cannot view the increase of their number with as little concern for the reason that it has come about very largely through migration from other states of a type of undesirables, of men brought here to labor in the industrial centers, who too frequently mistake license for liberty. Coming as they mostly do from Virginia, North Carolina and Kentucky where wages are lower, they are more likely to be at the attitude of the whites toward them is more hostile than in this state, they are endangering the civil and political privileges not only of themselves, but of the entire race in West Virginia. This state of affairs has come about through the development of coal mining and the consequent demand or labor. In but few instances have the law-abiding, property-owning negroes of other states responded. Those who have heeded the call are, for the most part, the unattached, ignorant, happy-loyalty element who are the best patrons of the saloonkeeper and form the reserve force from which the population of the penitentiary is recruited. This being the situation those negroes in the state who have any regard for the civil and political status must "wave with alarm" this infur and hope that it will either be diverted or that those who come hereafter may be of a higher type; otherwise, the movement for Jim Crow cars and disfranchisement will grow space—Charleston (S. C.) Advocate. The People's investment and Savings bank of Birmingham, Ala., Dr. W. L. Lauderdale, president, closed its doors, says the Birmingham American. In explanation of the trouble, Dr. Lauderdale has issued the following statement: "By a special call of the board of directors of the People's investment and Savings bank by President W. L. Lauderdale, after a brief discussion pertaining to the affairs of the bank and the subject which disturbed the confidence of its depositors, the board did not deem it wise, nor for the best interest of all parties concerned, to continue its present operations, and in view of this fact a resolution was passed calling on Hon. A. E. Walker, superintendent of banks of Alabama, to take the affairs of the bank in hand and liquidate its indebtedness to secure the best interest of the depositors of the bank and board further feel that in their judgment the bank has sufficient assets to pay its depositors in full." Thomas L. Masson, editor of Life, recently delivered a lecture on "Newspapers" before the students of the Glen Ridge, (N. J.) High school. The speaker explained that there are three vocabularyes in common use. These he classified as the social vocabulary, literary vocabulary and the vocabulary of names or persons. The first, he said, is used in every day "chit chat", and and the second in the schools, but the third, he declared, to be of the most importance. Well-read people, he declared, have an acquaintance almost personal with many persones they have never met. Three sources are open, Mr. Mason declared, from which this same vocabulary may be derived. These are papers, the vocabulary paper and the monthly reviews. The first, he asserted, are so hurriedly edited as to be often inaccurate; the second, having more time, are usually more accurate, while the third class contains the substance of the news in the best forms—South Life Magazine.

Booker T. Washington Guest of Honor at Famous Hostelry PROMINENT MEN PRESENT INFORMAL TALKS MAD DURING THE EVENING MAD THAT WERE VERY INTERESTING AND INSTRUCTIVE. Washington, D. C.—The recent visit of Dr. Booker T. Washington to this city was the occasion for a brilliant dinner party given in his honor at the Arlington hotel, one of the most famous hotels in the country. The dinner was served in that portion of the hotel known as the "Charles Sumner House," the name it has borne since days of that great statesman and champion of the rights of the black man. I was here that Sumner lived during the session of congress, and it was here that he died. It was peculiarly fitting that then that charge in the session in honor of Dr. Washington should have selected this particular place. There were no set speeches at the dinner, but the brief, informal talks that seemed to have found their inspiration in the atmosphere, sentiments and association of the historic building were intensely interesting and instructive. The trustees of the Anna T. James fund of $1,000,000 for the education of the rural negro population of the south were the other guests of the occasion. They were in the city to attend the annual meeting of the board, which has always been held at the White House since Mr. Taft has been president. The dinner party was arranged by a committee of which the Hon. William L. Ivie, assistant attorney general, was the chairman, and its spendid success in all of the efforts the energy and effective work which he put in the affair. The decorations of the dining hall were beautiful, and an orchestra played throughout the dinner. Those at the Dinner- Those present to honor Dr. Washington were: Hon. J. C. Napler, Maj. R. M. Roten of Hampton, Robert L. Smith of Texas, Prof. H. T. Kealing of Kansas, Prof. E. C. William, Dr. M. O. Dumas, Dr. J. R. Wilder, Dr. W. A. Wahfield, Hon. James W. Johnson of New York, Hon.

Tegrell, Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, Prof. Bruce Evans, C. H. Tyson, Hon. William H. Lewis, Prof. W. J. Hale of Tennessee, Fred R. Moore of New York, Prof. A. T. Glenn and Prof. Ernst Just. Later in the evening Dr. Washington was the guest of honor at a large banquet given by the Odd Fellows of this city. No man ever received a more enthusiastic welcome than he did. When he entered the hall where the function was held and again when he arose to speak. The genuiness and good spirit of his reception surely must have touched him deeply. Past Grand Master William L. Houston presided at the banquet and introduced Dr. Washington in an able and eloquent speech. "Football," cried the old gentleman in the Red Lion smoke room, "is a sin and a disgrace. Football," he continued, thumping the table with his fist, "is an abomination and a blot on civilization. The very name of football," he shouted, sweeping two glasses and a pint pot off the board in his excitement—"the very name of football is enough to make a decent, respectable man go and hang himself out of pure disgust!" "The gentleman seems to feel rather deeply on the subject," said a commercial traveler, who had been listening to his remarks. "He do," assented one of the natives. "Has he lost something at a murder," inquired the commercial traveler. "He've so. 'Ad a relative killed at one,' replied the other oracularly. "What relative was it?" asked the querist. "Is wife's first husband," was the response. "Now, if I were only an ostrich," began the man at the breakfast table, as he picked up one of his wife's biscuits, "the—" "Yes," interrupted the patient better half, "than I might get a few feathers for that old hat I've worn for three winters."—Chicago News. A LIBERAL LOAN. Dr. H. W. Wiley, the food expert, was talking at a luncheon in Washington, about a food adulterator. "His first offer," said Dr. Wiley, "sounded on the face of it, fair to the public, but it was in reality as unfair as the offer of the divorce. A wife, after the divorce, said to her 'husband': to loan you to the baby half of the time Goodwill, the rubbing his hand, splendid." she resumed, you may have him nights."—Washington Star PRAISED BY LEE THE FORMER ATLANTA MINISTER WRITES OF GOOD WORK OF INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE. Atlanta, Ga.—R. D. Stinson, principal of the Atlanta Normal and industrial institute, a training school for negress, has received a letter of high commendation from Dr. James W. Lee, the well-known Methodist minister, who was located for several years in Atlanta. Dr. Lee says that he has been delighted to know that Stinson is making a success of the work, and raises the question, outspoken" position which he has taken in regard to the race problem. In view of his sensible views along these lines, says Dr. Lee, he is not surprised that Atlanta citizens have been ready to co-operate in the establishing of the training school. JUST WHAT NEEDS BEHIND THE Institute offers is just what the negroes need says Dr. Lee, the importance of industrial education being emphasized. Such education not only teaches the negro to think, but it goes further and shows him how to relate what he learns to practical living. Dr. Lee's letter continues as follows: "The disposition to look upon industrial training as not being quite up to the style of our mental faculties is a delusion. If one's mental faculties are not trained to give out through the hand as much learning as he takes in through the head, then his place is in the cloud and not down in the depth of thief or workday affairs of this earth. Ever since the war the poor negro has been deluded and misled and victimized by foolish leaders. "It is generally understood that the anestest and wisest leader the God of history has ever raised up to show the negroes out of the wilderness of ignorance and superstition and importance is Booker T. Washington. You are fashioning your institution, in some degree, after the type of his. By teaching industrial education, including domestic science and allied skill you will play the use of the hand, you are preparing the way to give employment to thousands of the negro girls and women in the large southern cities, and in so far as you show them how to employ their hands in useful work, you are giving them the means of building up a pure and honest home life. "You are showing the negro, too, the importance of cultivating the friendship of the white people at his door, with whom he is in daily association, and with whom the white people are aiding you thus to train the negroes of the state, they are opening the way for their own well being while advancing, at the same time, the well-being of the negroes. White People Must Share. "The time has come for the rich white people of the south to share largely in the support and oversight of the negroes' institutions that send out teachers, preachers, and workers that are to shape the thought and conduct of the negro citizens. Those who have insight and intelligence among the south know very well that they can go along without the contributions which the negro makes to the commercial well-being of the country, and as the two races are necessary put into association with one another in the practical affairs of every day life, it becomes of the utmost importance that the white people see to it that the negroes have every advantage that looks to the cultivation of their practical activities along such lines as make of them good citizens. "I am glad to learn that such men as Mr. Clark Howell, Captain English, Mr. S. M. Inman, Mr. J. A. McCord, Mr. W. Woods White, Mr. W. O. Foote, Mr. S. A. Johnson, Mr. H. S. Jackson, Mr. A. Gude and others have established a great work you are trying to do. Akiana is the greatest city in the south and desired to grow with the passing years, and there is no center in all Dixie where such a school as you are trying to establish will do so much good. I trust such friends as have money and insight and leadership will be constantly added to the list of those who are willing to help you. Every dollar invested in your institution will be worth it and back to the general prosperity of the country, multiplied a thousand-fold."

"They say that lightning never strikes twice in the same place." "Doesn't it hurt a woman who's three times as strong as the man three times?" -Detroit Free Press HEAD OF QUINDARO UNIVERSITY SELECTED TO FILL VACANCY CAUSED BY DEATH OF BISHOP GRANT. Washington, D. C.-At the White House an important meeting of the Jeanes Fund board was held, at which President Taft, who is a member of the board, presided by courtesy. The report of Prof. James H. Dillard showed that the fund expended in the past year in the interest of negro education in the south was over $40,000, and in conjunction with the Black Fund board there are bently engaged in 500 community in the south giving advice relative to how negro children can be educated along practical lines, two field agents and 108 supervising teachers. Prof. H. T. Kealing, president of Western University, Quindaro, Kan. was elected a member of the board, succeeding the late Bishop Abram Grant. Prof. Kealing's election met with the favor of all the other members, as he is highly conversant with negro rural life. The colored members on the board are Becker, Napier, register of the treasury; Mal. R. R. Moton of Hampton institute; Hon. R. L. Smith of Waco, Tex. and Prof. H. T. Kealing. The Jeanes Fund board and the Slater Fund board are working harmoniously together to uplift negro life in the rural communities of the south, and the result has been gratifying. Prof. Dillard, as general agent, has $3,000,000 under his supervision to expend for educational purposes. He has $2,000,000 of which has been set aside by the Slater fund and $1,000,000 by the Jeanes Fund board. The two boards combined expended $200,000 during the past year for negro education. It was reported at the session that the directors of the Phelps-Stokes fund had set aside a scholarship of $12,500 each at the University of Georgia and the University of North Carolina, to be awarded yearly to the successful student from each institution, who must be in sympathy with the students. The students sent out in the rural communities to study negro life and education in all its phases for one year and write a treatise on his findings. NO USE FOR MOLLY. "The late Admiral Schley, as his own splendid career showed, didn't believe in automatons," said a Washington veteran, according to the Star. "He didn't believe in the subordinate who let his boss do all the thinking for him. "I once heard Admiral Schley talking to a young Annapolis student. He told the student that unreasoning and unquestioning obedience to orders was, if the orders were wrong, a foolish thing. He said the navy had no more use for men of that stamp than the Widow Black had for her maid, Molly. "The widow, he explained, told Molly one evening that if anyone called she was only at home to Mr. Munn. She retired to her room and took a little nap. On towards ten she sawes, and, ringing for Molly, she asks: "Did anyone call? "Ob, yes, m'am," said Molly; "Mrs. Blank called, and Miss Dash, and the pastor." "And you told them what I told you to" "Yes, nm'am. I said you was only home to Mr. Munn." A SYMPATHETIC BURGLAR. "I woke up suddenly the other night and thought I heard a burglar in the room. I sat up in'bed and that woke me up." "What did she do?" "What did she do?" "She accused me, as usual, of having a burglar bug. Said I never hear a real burglar if I lived, 1,000 years old. But I bet I would. She said she'd bet I wouldn't. And just then a shadowy figure came from behind the dresser and a hairdre voice exclaimed: "He wins, ma'ma." "Did you catch him?" "Catch him? I didn't try. I just laid there and laughed and heard him slam the door and run down the street. And say, my wife was so mad she didn't speak to me for a whole day. But I'll bet one thing." "What is it?" "I'll bet that burglar was a married man."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. WHAT THE LESSON TAUGHT.

Every citizen of Petersburg will wish gospeed to the members of the board of visitors of the Virginia Normal and Industrial institute in their efforts to induce the general assembling appropriation of $20,000 for additional buildings at the institution. The money which will be asked for is urgently needed, and it is difficult to see how such a sum could be appropriated to a purpose more entirely worthy. The citizens of Petersburg and Chesterfield and Dinwiddie and Prince George, who may be termed the neighbors of this school, can testify to the excellent manner in which it is conducted so far as the conduct of the pupils is concerned, and the official government attest the fine management which it is run from a business point of view, and the high character of work being done for the pupils. The joint auditing committee of the general assembly which visited the institutions, reported after a careful examination of the methods of keeping accounts and an inspection of the buildings and grounds, that the accounts were in a perfectly satisfactory manner, and the remarkable absence of wilful detachment at all other state institutions. The committee said on this subject: "At this institution there is an entire absence of any wilful defacement or injury of property, such as sees from top to bottom and from one end to the other of the great educational institutions. As this institution is offered by negroes and used by negro students, this particular fact might well be studied by those in charge of other places. The wilful abuse of the property of the state at other great educational institutions, is the most serious form of the committee reported that the negro institution of education set an example to the white schools of the state. The work being done for the negro boys and girls of the state by the Virginia Normal and Industrial institute is of a character to command itself without reserve. The girls are taught plain English, needlework, cooking, canning, preserving, house cleaning, washing, ironing, gardening, etc., while the boys are taught farming, dairying, poultry raising, and the use of tools. Girls are also given training in farming. The students last year produced an income of $2,410.20 from the farm. The school is the only state educational institution in which students pay a sum larger than the amount appropriated by the state. The sum required is $21,000, including the regular appropriation of $20,000 and the fund for the support of a summer school for teachers, amounting to $1,000, while the students paid for board and tuition a sum amounting to $28,450.38. The board of visitors, composed of T. O. Sandy, recter; Dr. R. E. Blackwell, president of the Randolph-Macon college; Judge Asa D. Watkins of Farmville and John D. Watkins, Esq., of this city, is planning to make a strong effort this winter to induce students to grant in extra appropriation of $20,000 to be used to erect homes for the teachers in the school and an additional dormitory for students. Last year 203 applicants had to be refused admission because of lack of facilities and this year 314 had to be denied entrance for the same reason. The parents of these negro youths are unable to gain for their children the training which is required of people of the state want them to have, although full payment of the charges thereof is offered. The school is doing a work, in training negro boys and girls to earn their living with their hands, that commends itself to every thinking white man of Virginia, whether or not be specially friendly to the race. Everything which makes the negro a better and more useful citizen deserves the encouragement of the whites who have to live by side. The whites of Virginia has withdrawn with rare generosity in the matter including the negro in the public school. In so doing the have done well. The legislature will display both generosity and wisdom if it heed this pressing plea for help for the negroes in a work in which they are helping themselves in a manner that compels admiration—The Daily Index-Appel. CONSIDERABLE INFLUENCE. Ex-Gov. Joe Brown of Georgia only weighs a hundred pounds, but he is powerful. By deeds you shall know him. The Atlanta Constitution says "his voice was clear and firm and reached every part of the theater." Said he: "When I was chosen in the primary of 1008 the price of turpentine, one of South Georgia's chief products, was 37 cents per gallon, and in June, 1811, it was $1.07 per gallon. "It is also pleasing to note that the two winters covered by my administration were the only ones dunng the past forty years within which the price of cotton did not go below 10 cents per pound. Not everybody can do that—Cooker's Weekly." A DIFFERENT. TOUCH. "How does this noted healer, who cures his patients by touching them, differ from a regular physician." "Why, he touches them before as cures them."—Cleveland Plain Dealer VE6. THEY WILL Son—Father, do lawyers sometimes tell the truth? Father—Yes, my boy. Lawyers will do anything to win a case—The Ram Horn MAKE COTTON YOUR SERVANT, NOT YOUR KING. We should "live at home," of course, but merely to make enough to meet as home is not enough. The southern farmer can make grown corn and stock, as western farmers do, that can thereby acquire the corn that they enjoy. The old list of considering cotton-making the supreme" purpose in life, and all other crops as mere "supplies" is deplorable plight. Cotton has been king indeed, and the cotton threer servant. Now let the cotton farmer make himself king and cotton his servant. "And this can be done only by adopting a thoroughgoing system of supply," the farmer must "supplies" to enable this "live at home," but profit also money crops and stock raising is enable him to have all the comforts and conveniences that farmers other sections enjoy. Old Aesop has a fable which comes appropriately to mind just here: A poor man, who longed, to get used to pray day and night for wealth, to a Wooden Idol which he in his house. Notwithstanding all the prayers, instead of becoming rich he got poorer. Out of all patience with his Idol, one day took it by the legs and dashed it to pieces upon the floor. Hundreds of gold pieces, which has been hidden, were transported to the right. he exclaimed: "How have I wrested my time in worshiping a gracious deity, who yields to force what he would not grant to prayers." The farmers of the south have been in much the same condition as the poor man in the fable. They have made themselves the humble servile serviles of King Cotton, only to get priety for their pains. Now let them insert their independence and have one forever with the idol-worship hat has put him up as the one god of southern agriculture, and he will rain pollen showers on them in return—the Progressive Farmer. THE CROW, THE FARMER'S FRIEND. If I were to say that the crow is a helping hand about the farm, many farmers might think I lived in the city, writes William L. Finley in Success Magazine. Many might prefer it be without such help. The crow has a reputation as black as his coat. He has been charged with causing peat injury to the corn crops, stealing fruit, robbing nests of poultry and eating young birds. To determine the real economic status of the crow, the scientists of the biological survey examined nearly a thousand stomachs of crows killed in every month of the year and throughout the country. The crow was proven guilty of these charges, but it was also shown that most of the corn that he had eaten was waste corn, and the part destroyed while growing was only 3 per cent of the total food. The destruction of fruit and eggs was only while, on the other hand, the corn was destroyed and mice eaten rendered the final verdict in favor of the crow. It was proven beyond doubt that he was of more real economic value than harm. DON'T USE WET FEED. There is no advantage in moistening the meal portion of the cow's ration. It is better to force her to thoroughly masticate her feed rather than to aid her in swallowing it quickly. Mixing of the feed with the saliva of the mouth helps in its digestion. The fluid secreted by the mouth is quite important in digesting feeds rich in starch. Once grain is moistened there is less saliva secreted, and therefore the digestion of the feed is more or less impaired—Field and Farm. FOUR THINGS TO DO. There are four things in connection with our live stock which should receive more attention this winter. (1) Better protection from wind and rain, especially for the young animals and the milk cows. (2) More and better feed. (3) Protection from lice and ticks. (4) More and better care of the animals. If we prepare to do these things, and do them, much more profit will come from our live stock—The Progress Farmer. Every schoolboy has been told how 'it' plant will eventually break a great rock if it is once able to penetrate into the interior of the stone, but indications are that the entire island of Aldabra is gradually being broken by mannoves which abound in this piece of land. They grow along the foot of the rocks and open up little cracks in the rocks, into which the waves in their way, and in this manner the rocks will gradually be reduced to their bit. In solving the farm boy problem the automobile is entitled to a big share of the credit. Not because of the pleasure it affords him, but because it practically removes the curse of distance and the isolation of farm life which so many arkl. Then it gives an interest in good roads and leads to an appreciation of other forms of improvement and an interest in other municipal affairs—agricultural automobiles. THE TILLER OF THE SOIL. There is but one person whose welfare is as vital to the welfare of the whole country as is that of the wageworker who does manual labor, and that is the tiller of the soil—the farmer. If there is one lesson taught by history, it is that the permanent greatness of any state must ultimately depend more upon the character of its country population than upon anything else. No growth of cities, no growth of wealth can make up for a loss in over the strength or the character of the growing population. In the United States, and in the country we should realize this and should price our country population. When this nation began its independent existence it was a nation of farmers. The towns were small and were for the most part mere seacoast trading and fishing ports. The chief industry of the country was agriculture, and the original citizen was in some way connected with it. In every great crisis of the past a peculiar dependency had to be placed upon the farming population; and this depend upon the fact that agriculture cannot be satisfied in the future if agriculture is permitted to sink in the scale as compared with other employments. We cannot afford to lose that permanently typical American—the farmer who owns his own farm—Theodore Roosevelt. THE COLD STORAGE PROBLEM Rightly used, cold storage belongs with all of the wonderful improvements in transportation and business that add to the betterment of living. Wrongly-used, it becomes a terrible engine of oppression. If men may buy without limit they can keep the price at the time abnormally high and in times of scarcity, dole out supplies at extortionate rates. It is a device as old as Joseph's granaries in Egypt. The difference is merely in extension and variety that whereas he prudently laid in a supply of grain against the lean years, this modern method works always and keeps abnormal prices against which fat years and full industry are confronted with another condition, and one that bears very directly on that mysterious something by which in a land of plenty, with industries well occupied, labor well paid, yet month after month almost, it takes just a little more earnings or incomes to live—merely to live. The problem of living grows harder continually in a land under conditions where nothing is visible to account for it—Indiana apolis News. TO IMPROVE RURAL ROADS. *Senator Bankhead of Alabama, who is always interested in rural affairs and the betterment thereof, has introduced a bill in congress providing for an appropriation of $500,000 to be expended by the secretary of agriculture in improving the condition of the highways over which "ural delivery routes are established." This appears to be a much needed resource for not be established owing to the bad condition of the roads on the proposed route, which in a large number of instances are reported to be almost impassable. It has been stated by competent authority that rural routes have had the largest influence in serving to accentuate the necessity of improvement in the public highways, and bills for their improvement are not received from time to time, which, with continual agitation, will probably result in a committee report and investigation by either the house or senate, after which the matter may receive probable consideration. ALFALFA FOR PIGS. Under ordinary conditions- affaits will forage from 10 to 20 shoots the acre. New seeding should be pastured very lightly the first season. No more than ten shoots the acre or one sow and her litter should be used. After the first year as high as twenty head the acre or two sows and their litters may be pastured on it throughout the season. In any event it should be pastured so closely that no woody growth will take place. A very good rule to go by is not to pasture it, so closely, but that one cutting of hay may be taken off in the forepart of the season—Field and Farm. QRAIN SPECULATOR IS A CURSE It's the business of the farmer to raise the grain; it's the business of the grain dealer to receive, clean and market the grain; it's the business of the miller to grind the grain, and it's the function of the speculator to buy the surplusage of 5,000,000,000 bushels of grain produced in this country as a speculation, and any farmer, grain dealer, miller, artisan or professional who attempts to reap a livelihood from fluctuating grain prices is a quack speculator, a counterfeit and a curase. J.R. Ralph Pickell, secretary Council of North American Grain Exchange. IDOL OF FORGOTTEN RACE. In excavating at Preston, Kan., an image of what appears to be a good or idol of some prehistoric race was dug up at a depth of 17 feet below the surface of the ground, in clay soil which has apparently not been disturbed for ages. Numerous fragments of the peculiar plaster-like material of which the image is made were found scattered through the soil. Domestic economy is foreign to most homes. The Sunday School Lesson THE BIRTH OF CHRIST, Green Text—For unto you is born the Son of the city of Israel a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord Luke 2: 11. Lesson Text—Luke 2: 1-20. Commit vs. 10, 11. TIME—Dec, B. C. 5. PLACE— Bathieham. EXPOSITION—I. The Shepherds told of the Birth of Christ the Lord, 8:14. Seven hundred years before, Micah had prophesied that he that was to "be ruler in Israel; whose goals are from of old, from everlasting" was to come out of Bethlehem. (Mic. 5:2). Note how many decrees and deeds of men, unconscious of God's purpose and prophecy, worked together to fulfill God's word and saviour of the world, the Christ, the Lord, began in a stable the life he was to close upon the cross. There was "no room" for him in the inn. There is "no room" for him today in the hearts of most men, in the home, in business, in society, in politics. The announcement of the advent of the king was made to shepherds. The shepherds proved their fitness to receive the announcement. (v. 15). They were faithful to fulfill God's precision of spiritual truth, in spite of their lowly position. They seem to have been waiting, Jonging, looking for the coming of the Christ. (v. 16). They were faithfully attending to their lowly duties when the revelation came. It was not pleasant work, but it was their work and while at it the angels met them (comp. Ex. 3: 1, 12; judg. 6: 11, 12; k. 1 K. 19; Luke 1: 8, 11). The glory that shone around them was an angelic Shekhinah that blessed the day the God of the church day the God of the church were to behold this glory. The supernatural, by bring God near, always felt the heart of sinful man with fear (Rev. 1:17; Luke 8: 1a, 6:5). But the angels' message at once dispelled all fear. They came to announce salvation, not judgment, because they frequently messages men 'fear not'. But the angels not only hade them "fear not", but brought forward the only real cure for fear, the Gospel. They brought "good tidings of great joy." The coming of Jesus the Saviour, Christ and Lord, is the best news this old, sin-cursed and Satan governed world ever heard. It was a strange place to be sent to seek a king, a barn. And it was a strange sign to mark the Saviour which it gave to Lord." The clothing, clothes, and lying in a maner. The world receives this wonderful proclamation to this day with indifference, but the heavenly army received it with exultant shouts of POETRY of and by Our People TODAY A. A. L. WILSON, SOCIETY HILL, B. C., IN THE SOUTHEAN LIFE MAGAZINE. A. A. L. WILSON, SOCIETY HILL, S. C., IN THE SOUTHERN LIFE MAGAZINE. Today is great as any other day. When we consider its great heritage. Received from Father Time without a scar. The warriors on a thousand battle fields, Amidst the charge of steeds, and clash of steel. And storm's roar in mighty thunder tones.

Philosophies, inured to study deep, To find the What, the Whence, the L historic way, Did尔她 and there and everywhere To give unto this day the clearest sky.

"O! whether dost thou go 'tith grits, In pomp so great" she cried. "We follow yonder blender star, A bearded king replied. "I leads us to the babe, new born, And in the manger laid." A certain editor had cause to add month his son on account of his reluctance to attend school. "You must go regularly and learn to be a great scholar," said the fond father, encouraging, "otherwise you can't be an editor, you know. What would you do, for instance; if your paper came full of mistakes?" The boy looked into his parent's face with childish innocence. "Father," he said, solleness. "Id blame 'em on the printer!" praise to God. Well they might! The word "suddenly" shows that they could hardly restrain themselves until the message was fully delivered. They all but interrupted their spokesman's proclamation to be a twofold result of the Saviour's birth—"gloy to God in the highest," on earth peace among men of his good pleasures. As to whom the men o' his good pleasure are, see Heb. 11: 5, Jno. 8: 20. B1: 51, Ph. 1: 6, 7. In what senses the word "good" is used in 1: 20; 2: 10; 3: 20; 4: 20; 5: 18; 19; Ro. 5: 10; Jno. 14: 27; Ph. 4: 6, 7. II. The shepherds hastening to find the Christ, 15, 16. The shepherds, though humble and illiterate, were wise men. They showed it by believing God's word and to see for themselves the glorious truth that had been proclaimed to them. Of the truth of what had been told them they had not a doubt. They spoke of it as "this thing (or word) which is come to pass." Wise and happy the man who when God tells him anything counts it done (Luke 1:45; Jno. 20: 29). They knew it was so because the Lord had made it known. That is faith (Heb. 11:1, R. V.; see context). They did not "go" to test the truth of the word of God, what they already believed, what they already knew any great fact or truth known to us we should at once believe it and then "go and see this word which the Lord hath made known to us," 1. e. enter into it experimentally. Note the eagerness and wholeheartedness of these shepherds, "they came with haste." Surely they will rise up in the judgment against our cold-hearted slowness in appropriating the fullness of blessing that God makes known to us. "They came with haste" to find the Christ, but today men will scarce come at all; and, if they do come, it is with such reluctance that they must be urged and reasoned with and plead with and almost pulled to the Saviour's feet. These shepherds were rare souls. They found it all easier. Acts 10: 20; ch. 19: 32; Acts 27: 25). Therein a "babe lying on the one who was to be the Christ of God and Saviour of the world. Who can measure the posthabilities wrapped up in a poor babe. III. The shepherds witnessing for the Christ they had found, 17-20. They did not keep to themselves the good news. They told only that, "which was spoken to them." Christ was the whole subject of their testimony. Their testimony awakened the little besides wonder with most. Mary "kept" in her heart and "pondered" all these wonderful revelations. "That is the way to deal with God's word. The shepherds were true and wise men. They did not lose their heads. They went back to their humble toll. But they went back in a new spirit, "glorifying and praising God." It is worthy of note for what they glorified and praised God. LEADING QUESTION—What do the shepherds teach us about God? About Jesus? About God's word? About angels? In what respects are these shepherds worthy of our imitation? What do these verses teach us to do with the word of God? With Jesus? What is the most important lesson? Who comes to save the wicked world, Pray join our cavalcade. "First I must sweep the ashes up, At I have followed to sit, Then I will follow too," said, "The glory in the skies." But when the pot and pans were scoured, And hearth and table cleared, Bee doth follow again, The star had disappeared. When loud and sweet the Christmas balls, Clime out from tower and town, Still seeking for the infant Christ She wanders up and down. Her armma is full of cookies and toys, Her weary feet are sore, The snow is on her old gray head, She knocks at every door. When fair and frosty falls the eve Of Christmas, She fill the children's stockings up And deck the Christmas tree. No little one is overlooked, Winter will come, Lest one might be the Holy Child, And she might pass him by. --Minda Irving in Leslie's. WORK. With such as found, man ought to work, Nor wait a better world to find. A better world will never come But to the persevering mind. Kind Nature opens wide her book And shows an operating plan That takes away the lowest hearts She toiled and wrought her acme-man. The greatest deeds, the sweetest songs, Are echoes from the lowest hearts Who buried with skill the nearest darts. Seek not the path of ease and sloth. If you would be a burning light! Tomorow is another time. For you, the day that is in sight. THE OFFICE SEEKER. Senator Bounce was talking about a confirmed off, seeker. "His little son," said Senator Bounce, "looked up from his history lesson one night and said to his mother: "Mother, if anything should happen to the King of England, who would be king." "The Prince of Wales," his mother answered. "If the Prince of Wales should die, who would be king then?" "The mother hesitated. She stammered something or other. It was plain she didn't really know who would succeed the Prince of Wales. Then the boy interrupted her." "Well,' he said, with a sigh, 'anyhow, I hope father won't try for it.'"—Washington Star. And then the editor fell upon his son's neck and wept tears of joy. He knew he had a successor for the editorial chair—Sacred Heart Review. "Have you thought of any way to keep your boys on the farm?" "Yep," replied Mr. Corntossel; "quit raisin' crops an' turn the place over to rabbits and partridge."—Washington Post. Of Interest to Our Women FASHIONABLE SCARFS Scaffars are an important item in the toilet this season. There are designs innumerable, of satin lined with bright-hued silk, of the sheerest fhioned lined with satin, of lace, of spangled net, in short, of any article which can be artistically converted into a scarf. Those made of satin and chifon are gathered into a sort of tassel-like bunch at the ends with some sort of a jewelled form of satin scarf, which is from 9 to 12 inches wide and 100 inches long, is not only fashionable and pretty, but serviceable and practical. It may be wound about the throat on a cold day, and it may be arranged to protect the chest. Some of the newest scaffars are edged with transparent or wooden beads, or a deep band of embroidery. Some have a deep band of fringes edged with a fine spray of embroidery spreads out over the scarf, reaching up a foot or more. Chiffon edged with marabou, velvet lined with satin, and trimmed with fur, and a great many other designs are shown. A bright blue毛里棕衫 lined with chinchilla, worn with the black tailored-gown, is pretty. Those of heavy, lustrous black satin on one side and white satin on the other, caught together at the ends with a long tassel, are the fad for young and old. The white satin scarf edged with swaonsand or marabou will be much in evidence as an evening wrap the coming season. The satin scarf, which matches the dress in color, and which is lined with white silk, is also being trimmed on each side with marabou, may be worn over the shoulders in the day time, but for evening it can be thrown over the head like a hood and the long ends drawn closely about the neck. A gorgeous scarf is made of a cream-colored satin with great designs at each end embroidered in gold, edged with a fringe about six inches long, made of a golden colored ribbon. The scarf is made of black lace down the center and a band of black satin on either side, the ends being tied and drawn into a big tassel, is very attractive. A very simple and pretty scarf is made by sewing three strips of marabou upon a broad strip of silver-blue satin masehline. A fringe of marabou fabric is sewn across the scarf, and satin is gathered to a point. When making a satin scarf care must be taken to cut straight, or it will not hang well. PETTICOAT PROBLEMS. The widening of our skirts is as yet too gradual to have left any trace on our undergarments, and petticoats are, therefore, cut to the figure and guillotine of pleats or gathers. This applies equally to every other kind of undergarment. Many women even have learned to dispense with everything that is superfluous, and close fitting combinations, a corset coming very deep over the figure, and woolen combinations for practical and very often even for full dress wear, have superseded with these women all the erstwhile daintiness of feminine attire. Close woven garments are to be had in many different colors in wool and in silk, and their convenience is undoubted. Their elegance, however, is questioned, and their hygiene is doubtful and so there are still many women who will have none of them. There are others who express their own love of line linen in the daintyness of their cache corset. Others, again, have done away with all under-petticoats and their accessories, but still cling to the symbolism and the smartness of a silk top skirt. In case one wishes to wear a petitcoat one must beware of succumbing to the attractions of "Hillies." Let the petitcoat be ever prey, ever wild, and never small as it is if it is so many inches wider, or if the fulling of the flounce will make the dress stick out balloon fashion from the knee downward? Soft silk or satin, or even, crepe de chine, should be chosen for an underskirt, and from the height of the knee it should show long, closely pleated folds, stitched down in the center and at the edge to keep them in position. Anyfulness of drapery is permitted only to such soft materials as mousseline de sole or the lightest makes of lace. Fine bastiste is often chosen for evening wear, but fine silk clings to the figure more closely, and so it is to be preferred. The fact is that though for a long time we have rebelled against the combination garment its success is this season more assured than ever. FASHION HINTS. Longer skirts—and just a little fuller, if you would behed the Parisian mandate. Fashionable batiste blouses for afternoon wear under thin coat suits are entirely plain, with just a group of hand tucks at the shoulders and an attached frill in front of handsome lace. Paris is sending over young girl's topcoats made of reversible cloth in two tones of blue, in black and white, which is very smart; in gray and blue, in black and red, and in purple and red. Three colors used more than any others in millinery are coronation purple, empire green and raspberry red. Hats with decidedly high crowns fit closely down over the hair and are trimmed with ribbon, velvet feathers or quillings. The shapes of beaver and soft felt are the favorites. The Parisian blouse frill has a rival—the new lingerie lapel. The effect of each is practically the same, except that the frill is softer and more feminine. These new lapels are of fine handkerchief lines, daintily hand embroidered and finished with a hand GOOD ADVICE IN NUGGETS. Dress for the winter season has settled down into very sumptuous grooves. Constant employment of lace is an important asset toward this impression, for lace in its every guse, from the coarse, boldly patterned macrame qualities to a weave so line it might have been spun by a spider, is to be observed doing service. The lace counters at the various large establishments which specialize in this accessory are veritable traps of temptation. The piece laces are especially alluring, and, although the price per yard may at first sight prove a little startling, mature consideration brings the comforting reflection that comparatively little is needed in fabrics that the prevailing condition bodies to the high want or princess style of skirt. But quality throughout is the kernel of the whole dress question of the hour. Dame Fashion has spoken, and is still firm in advocating simple outline effected in irreproachable fabrics. This decree holds equally good in the ordinary everyday frock or corduroy garment, cloth, tweed or corduroy velvet. The all in one dress, which is worn beneath fur cots and is an ideally useful possession to the busy woman, is again to the fore. Sometimes strong touches of contrast are introduced into such a costume with admirable effect. A dress of this kind seen recently is in navy blue serge, the corsage of which was thrown open with a single large rever, faced with purple, dulf faced satin, over a clear chemisette of ivory net, which was ornamented with one of the new flat jabots of lace. At the left side of the front the skirt was silt up to allow the introduction of a sharply pointed panel or rever of the purple satin, and round the there was worn narrow patent leather belt, in which little oblongs of the satin. When the sleeves to the dress are not arranged in one they are cut perfectly straight from the shoulder to just below the elbow, the long sleeve, alas being still more honored in the breach than the observance. Although fur as a decorative adjunct cannot possibly be wrong this season, its services-being employed on every manner and style of garment, one notes how light it is never for a moment allowed to become a predominant feature, but is made subservient to the other component parts DEVICE FOR PERFUMING. There are dainty perfumed sachets, filgree trees and pads to toss in dresser drawers and sew among miladi's belongings, so that whenever she moves she may be surrounded by an impalpable sweetness. The newest addition to the perfuming paraphernalia is a device for making the air of her boudou also sweet with her own particular sachet powder. Perfume sprayed from an atomizer evaporates almost as soon as it touches the air, but this new method of perfuming a room is much more lasting. In an exquisitely dainty jar and dove in a mouth which fills much of the air. Perfume is poured into the jar and the saturated wick is set静, the alcohol, which is a part of all perfume making a little blue fame. When this tiny lamp has been burning ten minutes the room and everything in it is sweet with violet, valley lily or what ever odor miladi may fancy. KITCHENETTES. To peel tomatoes without scalding, rub them backward with the blunt end of a knife. In selecting beef, the pieces which are well mottled with fat will be found the richest and juicest. For the roast of cold lamb course, try serving an egg salad, sprinkled with minced mint leaves. Coal dust is wasted unless the mistress sees that it is burned, and yet it makes beautiful fires. Have a galvanized iron scuttle for the purpose. Add sufficient water to the coal to make it moist. When a fire burns, pump bank it up with this wet dust and you will have a clear fire which will last for hours. When purchasing a roast of veal have the butcher lard it with salt pork. This will make the meat juicy instead of being dry, and it will have a fine flavor that can be had in no other way. WASHING DOUBLE BLANKET8. All housewives have trouble with washing double blankets. They are too heavy to handle comfortably and take too much strength from other work more necessary to the home. If you can, take your double blanket and bind raw edges; then when you wish to wash them you will find a great difference. They are easier to handle and very much better to put on the beds, because there are times when the double blanket is too heavy and you cannot separate them to suit yourself. But you can bind the edges that the double ones. In all ways they are handler for the woman of the house to take care of. DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE. Cream a half cupful of butter, work in little by little one cupful of sugar and then the well beaten yolks of two eggs. Beat in gradually and alternately one heaping teaspoonful of baking powder and a half cupful of milk. Then fold in the whites of two eggs beaten stiff, and finally two ounces of cream. Beat in the cream of vanilla. Beat well or together, put in a deep cake pan, bake 40 minutes, and, if desired, cover with white frosting when cold. Tonight, for the First Time In Nine Months, the Troopers Will Sleep in Real Beds in Real Houses. Des Moines, Jan. 19—The Sixth United States cavalry arrived in the yards of the Chicago Great Western railroad at midnight last night on the last lap of their long journey from Port Hanover Ark. where they have been stationed for the past nine months while doing patrol duty on the Mexican border, to Fort Des Moines.
