"NEGRO YEAR BOOK." "NEGRO YEAR BOOK" A four book called the Negro Year Book which is an encyclopedia of statistic of historical events given upon the life and character of the Negro Race. The book was compiled by Mr. Tuskegee University at present, is in charge of the Department of research and records at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Tuskegee, Ala. It is indeed, the best and most concise and sys- tical of the books ever seen or read, and I assure the public that no person and especially no colored man should be without this valuable little book. It contains the most authentic History of the Negro Race that has yet been published. We are arranging to have in our office about 100 of these books for sale at only twenty-five cents per volume and I am sure that we will be best equipped in the way of Negro literature than this encyclopedia. "THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF AN EX COLORED MAN" Is the name of the new book just published and the first copy has reached our office. This book is printed on good paper an dnely bound in literary style and retails at $12.00 per copy. It is published by the French & Co. Boston, Mass. It is written in a very interesting and narrative story picturing the conditions that brought about the race question in the U. S. and shows in a dispassionate manner without sympathy but state the conditions as they actually exists between the whites and the colored today. It reveals many astonishing facts in the under-current against the Negro in the larger cities of America and the unaccountable deeds of the district where he is less noticed, at present. In fact, it is a glimpse behind the scene, a bird's eye view of our race as it really circulation today and I feel that when its circulation has been extended over the U. S. it will be more friendly view of the difference between the two great races that now inhabit the American States. THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE.

CO., Publishers DES MOINES. IOWA Wise Man Has Very Considerately Laid Down Certain Rules to Be Remembered. When you discover a serious liking to a young woman never discourses your passion to her by way of letter. It will either give the woman an idea that you are a bashful booby or that you have not any address in conversation both of you will be well-educated to rule you in the estimation of only tolerable good sense. At the time of your courtship be careful never to discourse with the woman upon serious subjects, or matters that are not immediately pertinent to the purpose you are upon. If she asks you what news, you must not tell her a long story out of the Dutch or English gazettes about the decline of trade, and fall of stocks, or the death of Myner Van der Posum. She looks for no such answers. You must relate a melancholy tale of two or three young gentlemen of fortune and handome expectations that have lately drowned themselves in the Schuylkill or thrown themselves headlong from their third-story windows and been dashed to pieces on the pavement for the sake of a certain man. You cannot recollect, but the beauty and shafts of whose eyes these poor young gentlemen could not possibly withstand. Such intelligence as this will instantly put her into good humor. Have a care that you do not pester her with descriptions of the Alps, the Apennines, and the River Po. A woman is not supposed to know anything of such matters; besides, you must be a very cold lover if those far-fetched things can command your attention a certain way. Whatever she believes proper to assert, it is your business to defend, and prove to be true. If she says black is white, it is not for men in your probationary situation to contradict her. On the contrary, you must swear and protest that she is innocent of demonstration, cautions of using inappropriate arguments, making nice logical distinctions, or affecting hard and unintelligible terma—From Philip Frenau's Essays. Good Advice Was Retroactive At the new Union station recently two workmen had an angry dispute that culminated in a fight. In the mix-up one of the combatants was hurt on the head and a bystander advised him to secure a warrant for his antagonist's arrest. While the matter was being discussed by those who had gathered around a big fellow, who had heard and seen the whole affair, made his way to the injured one and said: "You don't want to get no warrant, Bill. You just go to the drug store and buy a bottle of wine." —good big one.

At a law banquet given at Chicago, the following story was told by William Lester Bodine: "An Irish couple had been 'keeping company' for a long while. The court ship progressed for years, but no wedding bells were heard. Finally an inquisitive friend asked Miley to tell her the story. "Shure and it's a case of vaccinium' timperament' he replied.

"All Baba," said the grand vister in great excitement, "says he has discovered forty thieves." "All Baba?" echoed the caliph. "What party's candidate is he?" AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS It may or may not be generally known, but is nevertheless true, that the lowest form of negro life (morally) is found on large plantations where hundreds of negroes are grouped and worked from generation to generation. Conditions on many such plantations are not only immoral, but unmoral. Our uplift leaders find it more convenient to collect money to send to Africa than to attack these "little Africas" right at our doors. Occasionally some preacher finds himself sent out to some of these big plantations, and is afraid to cry aloud against the corrupt life he finds there — we have never produced any pulp martyr! Hence, the problem remains untouched. The Interstate Reporter touches the issue, and shows how the negro is protected in this sort of living. It says: "On some plantations owned by rich white men, a negro can do anything he wants, if he is a good hand, and the plantation owner will see to it that he is not molested. This kind of thing is as much against the best interest of the negro race as any other evil that exists within the race; that is not the way to protect him, when he is so strong; he should not pay the rent of his wrong-doing. The negroes on some of these farms are allowed to shoot one another, separate one another from their wives or husbands, and if the one who is guilty of this kind of crime is a good hand he is allowed to go unpunished. This kind of protection is keeping the race down and making criminals of them. But the kind of protection the negro needs is to give him a fair and impartial trial when he is accused, the same as if he was found guilty and if he is found guilty according to the law and evidence, let him suffer the penalty of the law, and not protect him just because he is a good hand." Despite the fact that Chicago is a "wide open" city, there are hundreds and hundreds of young men here that are living decent and clean lives and are not going on daily blindfolded into the pits of immorality. There are ten or more social clubs here that have for their members a certain level of legalement to their lives. They are members of the various Sunday schools, Y. M. C. A. and churches. They are business and professional men, clerks, carriers, and others engaged in other walks of life that require honesty, sorbidity and intelligence. There is no doubt about the importance of the corners and in bar rooms—they are here, too, in great numbers, muen to our regret—Illinois Chronicle. The first annual meeting of the negro business leagues of the state of Kansas was held at Topeka, convening at St John A. M. E. church. The following officers were elected: John M.

Washington returned to his Tuskegee school after delivering addresses in cities in Massachusetts, Maine and New Jersey. During the course of his trip, he spoke under the following auspices: On January 21, at St. John's Congregational church, a colored congregation, and at Unity church, a white congregation, Springfield, Mass; on January 22, before the Hampton club, Springfield, Mass; at the Friends' church, Roxbury, Mass; on January 23, at the Robert Gould Shaw Colored Settlement house, Boston; on January 24, at the meeting of the Boston Local Negro Business Men's league; on January 25, before the club of Congregational Church, West Newton; on January 26, at Bowdow college, Brunswick, Me.; and Bates college, Lewiston, Me.; on January 28, at United church, a white congregation, and also St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal church, a colored congregation, at Montcolar, N. J. a busy program for a week. Sleeping in a bed of panes might be a flowery bed of ease, and then again it mightn't. Discussing the gloomy outlook for a "white man's hope" in the pugilistic world, a London paper says: "We want a real good man, too, and we want him badly. With Sam McVey in an almost even break of it with Langford, the four top places must be readily conceded to the representatives of the colored race—Jack Johnson, Sam Langford, Sain McVey and Joe Jeannette. Langford would appear, from the reports of his recent fight in Paris, to have been far below his usual form, and McVey is said to have appeared stale and overtured." John Patrick, a chief gunner's mate in the United States navy, re-elisted guard the U. S. S. Franklin at a monthly rate of $100.18. Patrick is a negro and has had over twenty-seven years' service. He will soon be eligible to retire on a handsome annuity. Mr. C. S. A. B. Aaker, a colored man of Detroit, Mich., has sold his patent of a friction heater for street cars to a Canadian company for $160,000. Baker conducted his experiments on a street car in Detroit, Mich. Herein lies the hope of every nation and people since the world began. Because "The Sun of Righteousness" shines nations advance in learning, in science, in art, in invention, in exploration and discovery and in wealth. Every law is subservient to the law of righteousness, and when nations or men forsake that law they come to the worst. The law of righteousness knows no color or cante, no social superiority or political inequality. It is the law for the government of all men, and love is the fulfilling of that "law." This unbased law finds explanation in a few words: "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them." The law of the "righteousness of faith" and in this righteousness alone is the hope of the negro. The negro must not be allured into the belief that the salvation of the race is in the possession of houses and lands, or in education and social advancement. These are all important and are excellent as stepping-stones to self-respect, but unless he seeks righteousness, as a race he is doomed to utter failure. The words of Robert Burns concerning happiness will well apply in the case of the negro's hope: "Tis not in title, nor in rank, 'Tis not in wealth like London's Bank. To purchase peace and rest; If happiness has not her seat And center in the breast, We may be wise, or rich, or great, But never can be blest." The negro must be an unright and loyal citizen because the King of Righteousness requires it; not a criminal evading the law, but an honest man; "saving God and "doing the will of Christ" as he knows it. He must even feel that "the laws which be are commanded of God," and that those who believe them them "ministers of God." In conformity to this requirement the negro's hope is sure. —Southern Ploughman. Do not forget the negro business man. The negro bank too should not be neglected.—Colored Alabama. Steps are being taken by a number of prominent citizens of Seattle, Waah, to obtain a Carnegie hero medal for Newton Johns, the colored bootback, who at imminent risk of drowning saved the lives of eight people in the accident.

Johns has consistently refused to accept any remuneration for his heroic services, but his friends have insisted on giving a benefit for his aged mother, who is solely supported by her courageous son.

"A majority of our educated people should remain on the farm and lift up the home life of the masses in that place where they can be independent." —R. Lovinggood, President Sam Houston College, Austin, Tex. Every colored man nowadays is a supporter of race enterprise—with his mouth. We have right here in this city negro professional and tradesmen, keepers of shops, wares, etc., men playing at the game of business in a small way, and who in large measure must depend upon their own race for support, who never think of it, and who are not sure they have money. If perchance their money gives out and they can secure something on credit from their brother in black, all well; otherwise nothing doing. This element of the colored race need to be pitted rather than abused, for notwithstanding many of them can read and write, they are tools and do not know it. They are less successful than the order of creation. Then the insects and the birds of passage have more sense than the average American negro. Get together, not in strife, prejudice nor lawfulness, but along broad lines. Let us cease so much talk and remember that "it takes money to buy land."—Dallas Express. When a selfish motive drives there is bound to be a wreck on the road. As a result of a recent election held by the Minnesota State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs which met in St. Paul, Minn., Mrs. W. T. Francis was unanimously chosen president, to succeed Mrs. I. E. Gibbs, who was made honorary president. Mrs. Francis, who is well-known in the east, is one of the younger club workers, which emphasizes the fact that her ability to lead the forces is recognized as a more important factor than experience. The program of the Minnesota Federation is an exhibition of up-to-date club work. Although the colored delegates to the Chicago convention had offers of money to violate their instructions, they stood firm. They were as a whole men of courage and intelligence. Well may Grus. Field Adams said, "The colored delegates demonstrated to the world that their honor is unpurchasable." New York is look askance at us now. It is in Chicago that the necro business man is most felt, he is energetic, ambitious and keeps abrased of ALEXANDRA AGAIN THROWS DOWN GAUNTLET TO MARY Two queens of England warring for supremacy have set the empire gaping. Haughtily defying her royal on to relocate her to a secondary place. Alexandra, very inch a queen, has again thrown down the gantlet to her daughter-in-law with the ptylid declaration: A "Once a queen, always a queen." Queen Mary, entitled by law and custom to precedence over the consort of her royal mate's late father, King Edward VII. she has not hesitated to battle for her prevoratives, but the result of these encounters has made her the unconcern. The latest episode, which only too plainly showed Queen Alexandra's determination to hold the exiled place she occupied as Edward's consort and which has caused a commotion in the royal household, occurred at a monster garden party given by Queen Alexandra for the Red Cross league. Standing under an indian canopy of red and gold, she insisted on shaking hands with more than 1,000 guests. She was loudly acclaimed for her condescension, and news of the event was carried to her rival, Queen Mary. Her reply to Alexandra is not being awarded wisely, but from intimate sources it is reported that she realizes that she has been conquered. Ever since ascending the throne Queen Mary has been humiliated again and again in her efforts to oust her mother-in-law from the place she held and apparently still holds. Her designation as "Queen Mother" in the manual of the Church of England and in other official records, was bitterly resented by Queen Alexandra. She demanded that this be instantly changed and her power was sufficient to gain acquiescence to her command. Coincident with the change in the national anthem, when King George's name was inserted in place of his father's, a secondary "national anthem" made its appearance, with "God Saved Queen Alexandra" as the motif. Buckingham palace, the principal seat of the court in London, was to have been turned over to the new king and his consort, while Queen Alexandra was to have taken up her residence in Marlborough house. To Queen Mary's vexation one delay after another prevented this, and when finally lacking in all other excuses, the dowager empress of Russia was conveniently taken ill in the palace and her condition was declared to be such that she could not be moved. Suggestions that she should find that she could take up residence at Copenhagen with her sister, the dowager empress, are said to have caused the king to go about with a dazed look for several days. Her popularity and her strong hold on the imagination of the people have combined to make her position almost impregnable. The king is hedged about by constitutional provisions, but the queen's despotism in social matters has made her a victim. Alexandra had the prestige of rank. Queen Mary tried to seize it, but found that possession is nine points of the law, even when it comes to a queen's crown. Queen Elizabeth had Mary Queen of Scot's head cut off when her position was questioned. This method of disposing of an England, but Queen Mary has been unable to discover a satisfactory substitute method. HARUM-SCARUM DAUGHTER OF DUKE OF SUTHERLAND There is an entertaining story concerning Lady Rosemary Leveson-Gow er, only daughter of the duke and Duchess of Sutherland, now going the rounds of Mayfair in rooms in London. As you probably know, she is a harum-s c a r u m young miss, almost a tomboy, who cares not the least bit for societie finds it hard work to keep her in rein, one of her P favorite diversions is shying her slippers about any room in which she happens to be, with disastrous consequences to many of the ornaments.

Since the sesational end of the long-drawn-out fight in the Baltimore convention, people everywhere have been asking each other this question. BENNETT In answer to the query several thousand loyal Princeton alumni leap to their feet in brass-lunged frenzy, and we get the reply: "Ray' Ray' Ray'! Tiger' Tiger'! Tiger' Siss' Siss'! Boom! Boom! Boom! A-aah! Princeton! Princeton! Princeton! This ebulition of spontaneous enthusiasm in a rapidly accelerating tempo is popularly supposed by New Jersey undergraduates to be a correct and lifelike imitation of the Twentieth Century Limited getting under way, and is known as the locomotive cheer or O.K. masu. Mr. McCormack is the Princeton Alumni association. He is the first, last, and final expression of graduate sentiment. He is all of these things and more. And if you don't believe it, ask Gov. Woodrow Wilson. McCrombs has been assisted in his labors in behalf of Gov. Wilson by a natural ability to judge men and by the possession of unusual tact and finesse in approaching those whose sympathies he desires to enlist. He has been handicapped in his work as campaign manager by reason of the lack of training and discipline. He must be called to call Princeton alumni everywhere for financial assistance when it was sorely needed. Thus, the locomotive has been the most valuable asset of Gov. Wilson's canvass for delegates. "What, ho," would ejaculate the experienced accelerator of alumni sentiment when informed by his assistants that the funds were running low. "Hand me a list of Princeton grads who informed by his assistants that the funds were running low. Then for an hour, Mr. McCombs would dictate letters of appeal to members of the tribe of "Old Nassau" which were calculated to wring tears from a wooden image. "Can we stand idly by and have it said that Yale has furnished a president of the United States and Princeton has never found a tenant for the White House? Are we to see "Big Bill" Tail, Yale 78, or "Teddy" Roosevelt, Harvard, class of 1912, fight each other to a stance still without murder with a clever cheer for Woodrow Wilson? Never!" Mr. McCombs is only 36 years old, having been born in the little town of Hamburg, Ashley county, Ark. on December 26, 1875. He received his early education in a small, ungraded country school and later prepared for Princeton and the locomotive cheer at the famous Webb school in Tennessee. He was graduated from Princeton in 1898. FIRST WOMAN OBSERVER IN WEATHER BUREAU Of the newcomers in the senatorial set at Washington, few are more interesting than a Mrs Henry Fountain Ashhurst, wife of the senator from Arizona. She was born Elizabeth Lillian McEvoy, a native of Ireland, but for the past 15 years a resident of Arlona. MARY E. Senator Ashurst is the son of William Henry Ashurst, who emigrated from Kentucky in the days of the corral wagon, and he struck his tent near what is now the town of Flagstaff, Ariz, when the pioneer needed his gun in one hand to fight the Apaches and an ax in the other to clear the wilderness. "My residence in Arizona," said Mrs. Ashurst, "came after those exciting days and when railroads had replaced the trails and modern civilization had penetrated through the country from the Athenaeum to the cifc. Left a cairn with a young child, obtained a position in the other bureau and resided in Washington for a few years. In 1898 I was sent as the first woman observer in the weather bureau at Flagstaff, Ariz, and I remained there until 1904, when my marriage to Mr. Ashurst occurred. "I count that time when I was the sole woman at the bureau with a staff of young men under me, among the interesting and profitable years of my life. It was such a wonderful experience, coming, as I had, first from the lovely, quiet country about Killeenburg, in Ireland, and later from Baltimore and Washington. "The grandeur of the mountains and the free, unrestrained life of the west, with its exact valuation of real things and the ignoring of artificial ones, made a deep impression, and one which has never failed me. I think in the west that people make more of an appeal and externals less. Many young men came to Arizona, whose country was the most curious country it was as if the entire country was organized into a vast co-operative society." Sparring for Time Bacon—Who is that talking about the law's delays? Egbert—He's the lawyer. "What he's saying about the law's delays?" "He says they're too short." Pirsey.

New Branch of Red Cross Organized in Washington. Will Instruct Women in the Care of Injured in Emergencies and Also in Sanitation and Nursing of the Bick. Washington—Lack of preparation for the duties of voluntary aid workers has given rise to the organization of a new branch of the American Red Cross society, which is to be known as the woman's First Aid detachment. The first detachment yet formed belongs to Washington, D.C., where during the last winter the new work was begun. The movement is rapidly branching out to other cities throughout the country. The detachment idea in the Red Cross work, while new in this country, has received the support of various foreign countries. In Russia the movement is headed by the cairina. The purpose of the American detachments, while similar, is not identical with those in other countries. The idea which has been carried out by the detachment already formed in Washington is to afford women in instruction to become skilled in cooking, the preparation of rooms for the sick and infured and courses in personal hygiene and sanitation. In order to prepare the detachments for the performance of their duties the American Red Cross has arranged a graduate course of instruction extending over a period of two or three years. The first year ten lectures are given on first aid and on nursing; the second year two lectures taught twelve lessons and diet cooking in two. Six periods are also devoted to teaching what is necessary to provide to take care of the sick or hurt in an emergency, with proper arrangements for such articles in any place set aside for the purpose. A post-graduate course of twenty lectures, is given on personal hygiene and sanitation, but this is no compulsory. The course of the American Red Cross says: "The members of these detachments are permitted to enroll after passing the required examinations at the end of the first year. It must be distinctly understood that these women are in no sense Red Cross nurses. From the instruction received they are, however, individually much better prepared to take the emergency care of the family and others in case of illness or injury and the detachments as such have a clear field of their own as in auxiliary corps. "They will find an important field of employment in civil functions when great numbers of people are assembled. Nowadays it is generally regarded that the emergency care should be provided for and injured. At such times doctors and nurses will not be lacking, but women's detachments are required to get together the necessary materials and to take care of the housekeeping end of these relief stations. Moreover, there is not infrequently an opportunity for first aid on their part. "In war every nation except our own has long recognized the value of such corps. Throughout Japan during the Russo-Japanese war special relief organizations helped to organize and participated at every point where railroad trains stopped for any length of time. "The success in other directions of the American Red Cross assures that, having now taken in hand the organization of women's detachments, in the not distant future these will be used to carry the country playing their large part in the relief of suffering humanity." TO BAR CUPID. The general delivery window of the postoffice will no longer be an aid to Cupid if the crusade which has been started by Chief Inspector James T. Cortelyou is successful. All the far fewer letters which have been shipped along the way through the window; the secret miscellaneous meetings past and to come, will hence be sent direct to the homes of the girls unless these blushing maids can prove that they are twenty-one. Mr. Cortelyou believes that much harm comes from the secret correspondence carried on with the aid of postboxes and he wants the general delivery office to be accorded to its legitimate purpose, which is far from being an aid to Cupid. "When we notice," says Cortelyou, "that young girls are frequently asking for letters at the general delivery window we ask them for their home address and send all their letters by carrier. Of course at times they are given wrong addresses, but the carrier are careful to find out if the girl really lives at the address given. "The mall clerk also asks if the girl is of age, and if she is not the guardian, or the guardian is learned and the latter is by carrier," he said, a little ruthily. WHY OLLIE WASN'T NOMINATED "During the Baltimore convention I won a wine supper from a friend on an argument as to the weight of the ponderous permanent 'chairman, Ollie James,' said Fred B. Nidever of Milwaukee the other day. 'I guessed him at 295 pounds, while my friend's figures were 280 pounds. Later we ascertained that the weight of the big fellow was just 290 pounds. Old Tines "Whitsun Ale" Whitsun week was once devoted to beer drinking bouts. During March malt, or the money to purchase it, was collected by the church wardens, who brewed very strong ale, called "Whitum ale," which was sold sometimes in the parish church, sometimes in the tithe barn or other convenient place. When the purposes afterward were applied to church rates and poor rates, Deddington, a charming little Oxfordshire town on the Cherwell, still preserves "Thereupon I won the supper and it happened that Mr. James was seated in the same dining room that evening while we enjoyed the good meal that my friend paid for, and not far from where we sat. By way of jest the loser of the repast asked our waiter if he could tell us the name of the giantic guest. 'Yes, gentlemen,' answered the waiter, proud of his ability to impart information, that is Mr. Ollie James, who, they say, is going to be nominated for president, but I hardly be minded it, because people might take objection on account of what his brother did. "And who was his brother?" queried my friend. "Why, sir, his brother was Jesse James, the biggest train robber in the country." COUSIN D INDOSAURI UNO EARTHED. A fossil has been discovered in the state department—no, wait a minute, by the state department, not in it. Dispatches to Washington from Isaac Manning, United States consul at Barquilla, Colombia, state that the fossil has been unearthened to the vicinity. A sognathus was next of kin to the dinosaur, when those familiar beasts were roaming about the wilds of the western hemisphere. Mr. Manning has not been permitted to view the remains, but by clever service as a member of the consular service of the United States, an adjunct to the diplomatic service he succeeded in obtaining a description of them. He says: "The spinal column section measures 25 centimeters in height, 13 centimeters in width at one end, and 15 centimeters at the other. The cavity of the spinal cord is 7 by 3 centimeters long, attached to the spine is a short rib-like bone with a round knob at the end." Mr. Manning says Colombia has never produced anything like this before. The Smithsonian institution is to be informed of the discovery. OLD WAR CLAIM GRANTED One of the funny things that often happen in legislation happened the other day. An old Civil war military service claim that has been pending for nearly half a century was granted by the controller of the treasury. The amount involved is but $6.29. The claimants are the children of Oran W. Smith, alias Oran W. Emmett, who served in the Thirty-fourth New York and then in the Twenty-second New York cavalry. After serving an enlistment in the former Emmett re-enlisted in the latter January 1, 1864, at Urbana, N. Y. He was promoted to second lieutenant and mustered at at Rochester, N. X. Military College, 1865. He served his service, and allowed transportation only to the time of his being discharged at Rochester. He filed a claim for $6.29 as pay and transportation expenses in going on to his home at Urbana. The claim had been repeatedly disallowed. Smith died at Dix, N. Y. February 21, 1904. $120,000,000 18 FILCHED. One hundred and twenty million dollars was filched from the American people during the last fiscal year by swindlers who operated largely through the United States malls, according to a statement just made in a formal report to Postmaster General Wendell Hook. This was an increase of approximately $50,000,000 in the aggregate of the previous year. Of those who are alleged to have operated the fraudulent schemes, 1,063 were arrested by post office inspectors. They included people in all walks of life, merchants and mechanics, politicians and professional men, paupers and millionaires. That week ended June 30 last 452 persons were convicted and sentenced and 571 cases are awaiting final disposition. MEMORIAL FOR BUTT. One of the most striking plans to honor the memory of Maj. Archibald Butt, aide to the president, who went down with the Titanic, is for a memorial building to be erected at the University of the South at Sewanee, Tenn. Major Butt was an alumnus of that university and was known there as an excellent athlete. The plan was to build ayman theater and auditorium. President Taft has promised to serve as honorary vice-president on the board or commission to raise the $250,000 fund called for. First Briton In Japan "Will Adams, the first Englishman in Japan," one of the most delightful books ever written, has been out of print for 30 or 40 years, but its memory remains. Those fortunate enough to have read it will be interested to learn that a memorial to Adams was unveiled by the British ambassador on June 16 over the grave in Tokyo, where the famous pilot lies beside his Japanese wife. Will Adams, who was a navigator, landed in Japan in 1800 and was kept in the cabin of the emperor on account of his Knowledge of ships. He was presented with an estate, was not allowed to return to England, where he had a wife and family, and died in Japan in 1620. "Paw's" View. Wille—Paw, what is a telling situation?

French Writer Insists That Abstinence From Fish Food Improves One's Resistance to Fatigue—Experiments Made. The recent experiments to discover the effect of diet on physical endurance are regarded by a writer in the Revue Scientifique as clearly indicating that entire or partial abstinence from meat greatly improves one's resistance to fatigue. It is also evident that ways live content on between meat-eaters and vegetarians, but all question of theory or self-appreciation apart, he believes it is interesting to inquire whether flesh-eaters resist fatigue better than abstainers. He notes first a series of experiments made by our own Prof. Irving Fisher on healthy subjects chosen from among both flesh-eaters and vegetarians. He notes that resistance fatigue much longer than the others. "This fact having been duly established," he says, "it remains to investigate the cause." He continues: "Dr. A. Halg thinks that this resistance is acquired by all those who give up foods that are able to form uric acid; for, according to him, it is caused fatigue. His theories have found both adherents and opponents." "According to Haig, the action of uric acid is due to the fact that it makes the blood viscous, and that therefore the heart finds difficulty in forcing it through the capillaries, so that there is an increase of blood pressure. Observation shows, in fact, that persons who have great endurance have often a low blood pressure." "Another theory that Haig has is that flesh food contains fatigue poisons which accentuate the effects of those produced by the muscular activity of the organism. "Finally, according to a third theory, that of Prof. Chittenden, as noted in the book, the other that substances and carbohydrates are burned entirely in the organism, being reduced to carbonic acid and water, which are easily crystallizable residues, among which is uric acid. Now, theoretically, these products are the cause of fatigue. "To sum up the problem of alimentation remains still to be solved, but it is at any rate proved that when the uric acid is in the case with abstinents from flesh, the endurance is more considerable." "Physicians are tending to diminish the quantity of meat in prescribed diets, and are thus in accord with the theories of . . . partisans of a non-fish alimentation. "A large number of persons, without being subjected to any spiritual degeneration, are not out from their evening meal, without inconvenience and even with benefit. Abstinence from animal food would be observed much more generally if the adoption of this new regimen were brought about progressively and not suddenly, as often happens; it is necessary to habituate the stomach to it, and this habit is quickly acquired. "May be added that experience shows that the stomach is been dropped from one's diet one feels better and never desires to return to it."—Literary Digest. Decline of Jet Jewelry For ages the jet trade figured as one of those domestic industries which were such a feature of England before the industrial revolution. A considerable portion of the population of Whitby devoted their energies to it, so much so that the village was the staple industry of the village, ousting fishing and other coastal pursuits. The Whitbys craftsmansmen working in their own village were also involved in the application for their decorative skill. The decline of this ancient domestic industry is to be attributed to many causes. In the latter part of the Victorian era jet ornaments went out of fashion, and nowadays they are seldom worn even in times of mourning. Moreover, the industrial revolution, occasioning as it did a great demand from iron and coal, attracted the jet mills of the industries owing to the higher wages that could be obtained. New Idea In Coloring Maps New Idea in Coloring Maps. Herr Freyag of Vienna, has devised certain improvements in the stereoscopic effect of relief maps by means of a color scheme. The effect is said to be well shown when a square is colored with the reds in the center and the yellows, greens and blues ranges outside the red in the order named. Such a square appears to the eye to be raised in the center. If the order of the colors is reversed, the central part of the square appears to be depressed. Arranging the colors, the tints are varied by careful graduation and violent contrasts are avoided. Swiss Guides Become Canadians. The Swiss guides who have been employed season by season in the rocky mountains are now to become Canadians. A village of Swiss chalets has been built for them on a hillside in the Edelweed Hills. Each will have a bit of land, and will be employed in the town or otherwise during the winter. The other hoped to rise up at last a race of Canadian Alpine guides worthy of the "Canadian Alps."—London Times. Cultivate Cheerfulness Cultivate cheerfulness, if only for personal profit.

An Instance and a Warning for the Married, Against the "Sine of the Tongue"—Sense of Humor Saved the Day. "I never can understand why a woman wants to keep a room as dark as a pocket!" "And I never can see why a man can't read a paper without having every blind in the house wide open!" Sunday noon—a cloudy Sunday—when Paul had felt too tired to go to church and Frances had gone alone. Returning in the state of readiness for irritation that often follows spiritual uplift, she found her husband in the parlor, halved by tobacco smoke and encompassed by Sunday papers. Every day as up to its full height, every curtain rolled aside. The sermon had been on "The Sine of the Tongue." If it hadn't been for that, Frances felt she would have said volumes as she went about the room, straightened curtains and shades. As her efforts narrowed the light which fell on her husband's paper, he looked up with some annoyance. "You make it so dark I can't read," he commented. "There's no sense in having everything sprawled wide open like that. It makes the house look horrid to have a clear up to the top of the windows." And Frances left the room with digging, her head very straight. To go to church and say your prayers and come home feeling happy and good, and then to be met by a thing like this the moment you got into the house! What was the use? Like a profane echo came the murmur from the room she had quitted: "Oh, hell, what's the use?" Proffane stood still. Should she go up patels and cry or go back and laugh. Then—was it the sermon or the sweat? she began to giggle. That saved the day. She dropped into a seat on the bottom step and broke into a shriek of laugh. "Hullo! What's the matter?" from Paul. "It's so funny! Here I come home feeling pleas and prayful, and lose myself and feel it and lament and scold, and you swear! Say, I want it funny!" Paul's mouth swirled. "If that's the way you look at it—" "Well, it! I leave your old papers all over the room, if you want, and put the peaky shades out of the windows if you like. I don't care. I'd put the peaky shades than a row. Let's be comfortable!" Paul made a circular grap at the papers. "They may go hang for all me! I thought you were going off to cry." "I was!" "I'm glad I glad you know how to break up a weep. One little 'cuss word' worked the cure. By George, I'm glad I married a good sport!" Ice In Surgical Practice Perhaps it is in the hospital and sick room where ice plays its strongest part in the alleviation of human misery. Dr. Gorrie's discovery arose from his effort to find a means of cooling the rooms for fever patients. Now the cold storage facilities of the hospital are likely to make possible many seemingly impossible operations in the way of grafting tissues or even transplanting some organ from the body of one person to another. The results of several experiments led physician Dr. Gorrie to believe it will be possible to preserve healthy human tissues for months in cold storage. By this means the man who has had the skin of his arm destroyed by an accident may be supplied with a new epidermis from the cold storage room, which may have been taken from the amputated limb of some other unfortunate. Honor for Paul Mauser Paul Mauzer, inventor of the rife of that name, who has just entered his seventy-fourth year, began work as an unsalaried apprentice 60 years ago in a small German arms and ammunition factory. He is now president and chief proprietor of the plant in which he started his career, and has the degree of doctor of engineering from a dozen colleges and universities, in addition to possessing the coveted German title of privy counsel of commerce. In honor of the sixtieth anniversary of his death the factory hired government arsenal workers, erected a monument in the factory yard bearing in bronze relief a portrait. He was present at the unveiling. Worthy Example. When Louis Mann first met his farmer neighbor, Shag Rossman, upstate, Shag was very much interested in the Thelanian. Do you a sailor, oh?" he asked. "Indeed, 'tis true," replied Mr. Mann. "Good one!" "Abem!" came from Mr. Mann. "Some people say I am." "Well, you geta go some to beat a occasion in a show one time," said, Gald. "So? Who was he?" "Ive forgot his name," said Shag, switching his chew to the other cheek, "but I seen him with my own eyes turn a back somersault on top of a horse that was runnin'."—New York Telegraph. Subtle Admonition "Why do you always ask that regular customer if the razor hurts him?" asked one-barber. "Just as a gentle reminder," replied the other, "that if he forges the tip it's liable to hurt him next time." Easy Morey. Easy Money. "Why don't you marry him, he is rich and old?" "Did? He may live for ten years yet?" "Marry him and do your own cooking."—Houston Post. GENERALLY TOO MANY THINGS ARE LEFT TO GUESS WORK. For Correct Results in Bread Making, for Example, Temperature Should Be Gauged Accurately—Use of the Thermometer. In the modern up-to-date bakery the thermometer controls the working of the plant, water, flour, dough, fermenting room and oven. The temperature is gauged accurately so as to produce the correct results. Every move is dependent upon the thermometer. In the olden days and even yet, where old-fashioned methods prevail, the thumb of the baker was the guide as to temperature of water, flour, dough and oven. In the home the word "teepot" covers the each woman to decide for herself what may be tend or otherwise. No dairyman would think of conducting his business without a dairy thermometer, and this same thermometer, costing from 25 to 30 cents, should be in every woman's kitchen who pretends to be a good bread maker and who wants her bread the same every time. Making bread by rule of thumb in the case of much of the "bad luck" you head discussed and why this baking was so much poorer than the last. There need be no guess work about how hot your dough will be if a simple rule be followed. Let us presume you wish to set your dough at 90 degrees F. by the thermometer. You ascertain the temperature of your dough and the temperature in the flour you are to use for a minute and that tells how warm it is. Let us suppose your kitchen is 70 degrees F. and your flour 70 degrees. Now, how hot should the added water and milk be to bring the dough up to 90 degrees? Multiply 90 by three and that gives you 270 degrees. Add the flour and room temperature together, and 140 to bring your liquid to 130 degrees by the thermometer and test your dough and you will find it is close to 90 degrees, the temperature required. Room 70, flour 70, water 130, total up to 270. It is said that the innsane syrups of the northwest are harboring more farmers wives than any other region of the world, of lack of kitchen and domestic facilities generally, and many other reasons, not the least of which is worry, worry, worry! How much has the making of the daily loaf to do with this worry? What effect has the chilling of the sponge or dough and perhaps the subsequent souring of the dough and no bread for a meal or two on the table, unmade baking or cooked as made, the nerves of an overburdened, overworked housewife with farm help to feed and a horde of husky, hungry children? Dandy Cheeze Croquettes. Cut into small dice one pound of American cheese. Have ready one cap of hot cream sauce in a sauce pan; add the cheese and the yolks of two beaten eggs, diluted with a little cream. Stir until well blended, and let the mixture remain on the stove for a moment until the cheese gets steady. Season with salt, red and white pepper, and milk. Tie mug. Go to the oven until cold, then four couches and roll in fine bread crumbs. Dip in egg, then in crumbs again and dry in deep, hot fat until a delicate brown. Hickory Macaroons Put one-half of a pound of hickory nut meats through the food chopper, using a fine knife. In a dish beat very slightly the whites of three small eggs, then stir in one-half of a pound of sifted powdered sugar, the chopped nuts, a pinch of salt, and the chopped powder. Drop by half teaspoonful an inch apart on flat buttered pans and bake in a very moderate oven. Birthday Cake Ring. A newly imported novelty from Germany is a wooden birthday cake ring, brightly painted in a manner to appeal to children and pierced with holes, in which the birthday candles are to be set. As the holes are many, it is possible to have as many candles as are necessary, even when the children of a family are grown up. The ring of wood is only about an inch thick, and it is intended that the cake be set inside this rim. To Mend Gloves White gloves especially have an annoying habit of tearing "at the last moment," when you haven't time to darn them. To temporarily mend the rip, place a piece of courtplaster upon the undermark. This will neatly close the ripped seam and will wear for a long time. Washing Quilt. It is impossible to successfully wash quilts without having the cotton filling be matted and lumpy. If the cotton batting is covered with cheesecloth and tied before covering is knotted over the cotton the latter may be removed at any time and washed. Afterward it may be replaced and knotted, making the quilt perfectly new again. Mexican Spaghetti! Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in a granite saucepan. When hot add four ounces of spaghetti, broken small, half an onion chopped fine, a teacupful of canned tomatoes, half a teaspoonful of salt, and a little cayenne pepper. Stir it slightly browned, and then add a large cupful of hot water, and smother till the water is absorbed and the spaghetti tender. Restore Matting. Matting which has frequently been washed and has lost its luster can be made fresh looking by painting with a mixture of shellac thinned with turpentine to the consistency of varnish. Paint one breadth at a time. It dries rapidly, though it darkens the matting. FEED BROKEN-WINDED HORSE Principle to Be Recognized is to Feed Little and Often—Care of Stall is Important. By B. G. WEATHERSTONE By R. G. WEATHERSTONE For running horses green food cannot be used. It makes the animals soft, but it may be fed to a wrought. When wounded horses of a wrought, when that done it should be given in a chapel state, rye, vetches, etc, being fed before the seed begins to ripen, else it loses its digestive qualities, and a few roots o carrots with dry grain make a good winter feed. In fact the principle to be recognized is to feed little and often, to avoid long fasts, and if it is necessary to work immediately after feeding to go easily at first. It is a good plan to keep a bucket of water in a corner of the manger so that it can be taken when desired, if dry food is given, and in this way seldom will excess be indulged in. When succulent green food is given of course there is not the same need for water. In the water may be bound beneficial and the manger may begin to it to readily. A ball made of tar and tallow is greatly favored for broken wind, it there is any sign of distress. Cool, well ventilated stalls or boxes are of the utmost importance, as the animal should have as much pure air as possible. Long spells of rest in the stable followed by excessive spells of work only serves to aggravate the complaint. Good "hard" condition is what is wanted and this can only be had with frequent exercise or when the horse is idle a free run in a field. Above all, constipation should be avoided and the digestive organs carefully watched. Poor constructions may not cure but they greatly reduce the original cause of the aliment and modify the trouble. Ordinarily medicines are not of much use but where there is distress from excessive work, an overloaded stomach, constipation, a hot stable, or close, muggy weather, a sedative may be given to obtain temporary relief. ADVICE TO POULTRY RAISER Don't Pay Good Money for "Barretz" —Forced Molding Out of In- tention (By MILLER PURVIS.) BY MARY HENRY Don't be a dollar or any other sum for some "secret" about poultry raising. We will guarantee that every valuable "secret" about the business will be published one or more times in these columns every year. The man who advertises "secrets" is seeking for suckers, every time. He is forced to about forced moulting of fowls in order to get them to moult early and begin to lay before winter comes. It has now been demonstrated that forced moulting, if it makes any difference in the annual output of eggs from a hen, is a damage rather than a benefit. Hens which are allowed to moult are not as successful as they would if they had been forced to moult quickly. Droppings Boards In order to facilitate cleanliness in the poultry-house and to greatly reduce the amount of filth, dropings boards should, by al means, be used. By using a little precaution in placing the dropings boards so as not to obstruct the light, the entire floor space beneath can be utilized for a scratching floor. At least six inches should be allowed between the dropings boards and the roosts, the distance depending entirely upon the arrangement of the roosts. If the platform is made like these it can be handled much more easily, as it is frequently found desirable to remove them in cleaning. Smooth boards are the most desirable to use. Value of Boll Fertility. It has been estimated that a $1,000 worth of wheat will take about $250 worth of fertility from the eoll; a $1,000 worth of pork, $60 worth of fertility; a $1,000 worth of beef, $80 worth of fertility; a $1,000 worth of wheat, $80 worth of butter only about $1.25 worth of fertility. Think on these things when deciding upon the kind of farming you will practice. Small Fruit Orchards Small fruits are sometimes grown successfully in orchards. Such a farm I have in mind near Hilton, N. Y. Currants, in this case, are planted among apples, peaches and grapes. The currants have more than paid for the farm, the cost of the trees and their care up to maturity. I attribute this unusual case much more to the aggressiveness and character of the grower, however, than to the method itself. Intenalva Agriculture Solling, that is, is cutting the growing crops and feeding them in the lot or in the barn, is an intensive form of agriculture which is becoming more and more practiced as land advances in price. The use of soiling crops and of silage in the field is the most recent day feeding problem. Field corn, fry, clover, field peas, sweet corn and millet are all good soiling crops. Removing Buckers Buckers should be removed from fruit trees as fast as they appear, and they sap the vitality from the trees and cause too dense a growth. Kindness to Cows. The dairyman who is looking for results will not allow the dog or the small boy to worry his cows. He knows that if he wants a well-filled pail they must not be frightened, but kept quiet and content. Cooling Milk. Milk should be cooled as soon after milking as possible unless it is to be run through the separator, then it should be cooled directly after separation. Separate the milk while it is warm. LARGE WASTE IN ROAD WORK Annual Loss of $2,500,000 of Tax-Payers' Money Reported by Illinois Bankers' Association. Some startling figures were given the Illinois Bankers' association in a report recently rendered by their good roads committee. The committee has made an exhaustive study of the road situation in the state and has discovered, among other things, that there is an annual waste of $2,500,000 of the tax-payers' money under present conditions. It exists township highway system is severely criticised. The report says: "There is no other branch of the public service that shows such a large percentage of waste. Any business enterprise under such a system would not last through a season, but so long as the people continue to put up the money and retain the present system this loss will continue." It is estimated that about $7,000,000 annually is spent for road purposes. Reports to the bankers' committee from 15 townships showed that 100 per cent of the money was wasted; from sixty-eight townships, 50 to 75 per cent; from 95 townships, 25 to 50 per cent; and for 47 townships, 10 to 15 per cent. The report shows that conditions are getting worse instead of better. "The money is not willfully wasted," says the report, "but it is spent on the endeavor to patch up and make a poor road and a poor bridge. There is not money enough at hand to do a good job. This makes it necessary for the highway commissioner to do the best he can with what he has. The result is the same work has to be done over each successive road, and the benefit to the roads." The worst of it is that these same words might be applied to a dozen other states, particularly in the south. SUCCESS WITH AN INCUBATOR Should Be Run Two or Three Days Before Putting in Eggs to Secure Even Temperature. Run the incubator two or three days before putting in the eggs. This is so as to have the machine absorb heat, and also to test the thermometer and adjust the regulator. When you secure twenty-four hours at 100 degrees you are safe to put in the eggs. Do not crowd them. Cull them carefully and use no eggs of abnormal shape or size. The temperature naturally will fail noticeably when you put in the eggs. Don't get nervous and imagine something is wrong. Within a reasonable time, say an hour, the eggs will get warm, and the temperature will go back to 100 degrees if and rise gradually within two days to 108, where it should be kept. If your incubator is a well-made one, you need not spend over ten minutes, morning and night, refilling lamp and trimming wick, and once a day turning the eggs. Look closely after the lamp, the machine will probably do the rest. Be regular, careful and study the incubator and the instructions till you understand both. Plum Trees. Plum trees are set in this state from 12 to 20 feet apart, the former being far too close. The distance should depend upon the soil and the variety, says a writer in the Baltimore American. It is well to set a little close—16 to 18 feet—and cut down when the trees begin to decline. Twenty years is a fair span with the best of orchards. In this region plum trees are usually set two years from the bud, though the Japs are often but out at one year. Plum trees should be headed at one-half to two feet, five main branches, five main branches, five main branches, a central leader for domestics and damsons, but a vase-shaped tree for Trifora sora. Burbank and Abundance require much pruning; other kinks little. Many growers head back every year. This procedure is to my mind of doubtful value. Good for Young Ducks A good feed for young ducks is one measure of crackers or stale bread crumbs, one measure of middlings, one-half measure of bran and five per cent of grit. Wet with water or milk to a dry, crumbly state. Do not feed any sloppy feed while ducks are real young. Underfeed them a trifle, rather than overfeed them. Feed just what they will eat up clean and quickly during the feeding time. Feed them in troughs which are kept clean by scalding them in hot water. Keep their quarters perfectly clean. Plane for a Good Road. In laying out and grading up a road the principal thing, of course, is to get the center higher than the sides of the roadway so that the water will find its way to the side ditches quicker than it will start down the center of the road. If the water can be quickly drained off the road surface the road will be cut up very much less by traffic after rains and dry out in half the time required on roads not properly rounded up. Make-Up of Good Cow The good coch is thin in the regions of the thigh and flank, but very deep through the stomach girth, made so by long, open ribs, underer is made to open ribs well forward on the abdomen and high behind. It should be full, but not fleshy. Planta for Poultry Yard. If your poultry yard has not already some shrubs or trees, plant some for shelter for the onions on hot days. It is well to have two yards and sow one with grass while they are living in the other. Cutworm Guards. Tubes made of stiff paper and placed around tender plants will protect them from outworms, which work at night. The paper should extend two inches below the surface of the ground. LOOKED UP WIFE AFTER YEARS, FOUND HER MARRIED. Story of a Georgia Man's Many Reveres Which Began In War Times —Now He Has Wedded an Old Sweetheart. Savannah, Ga.—Parted from his young wife and baby daughter by the fatalties of war, exiled from Savannah by order of General Sherman after marching through Georgia, Peter J. Thompson, wanderer extremalny, and wandered through Georgia for 47 years to find the wife of his youth happily married to another man and mother of many children, his baby daughter grown to womanhood and nursing babies of her own, and his sister unable to recognize him. After having his roof blown from over his head by a cyclone in Kansas, his barns and granaries and another state destroyed by fire, trampling over the whole of the west and middle west, selling trees and lightning rods in the Mississippi valley, associating with feudists in the Kentucky mountains, Thompson, in his old age, turned his eyes and heart toward his own old barn. So worked his life the intervening states and came at last to Pembroke. But all the friends of his youth had disappeared. Many of the old families were broken up. The slains in the little churchyard told him where many of the people he had known had gone. The graves of his father and mother he found there. No trace of his wife and child could be find. A chance acquaintance told him that his sister was married and was living in Sawanah. Coming here he found Mr. L. A. Schumann. With some difficulty he persuaded her of his identity. From her he learned that his wife, after giving him up for dead, had married again and, with their daughter, also now married, was living at Biltchton. He went to Biltchton and spent a day with his daughter and his former wife, now Merry. Berry Jones. The law had presumed him dead and he had ceased to have the status of a husband. By means of pictures and other moments of her babyhood he persuaded his daughter of his identity and her, his father, of his identity and his look up what was once his family and returned to take up his residence with his sister. There were two families living in the house occupied by Mrs. Schuman. While passing through the hall an aged woman, who was living with the family above, saw him. "An't this Peter Thompson?" she asked. "Don't you remember Ann Waller?" Of course he did. Then he learned that she had been married twice, but was now a widow. He himself was a sort of a "widower." And Ann Waller had been married before he met the man who became his wife. They were married the other day by the Rev. John S. Wilder, pastor of the Southside Baptist church, and are as happy as two doves. They will make their home in Savannah. JESSE JAMES A TRAVELER Son of the Famous Outlaw Enjoys His Honeymoon in a Light Spring Wagon. Philadelphia, Pa.—Jesse James, Jr., son of Jesse James, once noted outlaw, is in Philadelphia. With his wife, a former Philadelphia girl, and his three-months-old daughter, Myrtle, he is staying with the family of William Crooks, relatives of Mrs. James, at 246 Slocum street, Germantown. Mrs. James was Miss Elsie Lincasy of 6718 Chew street, Germantown. The younger James has had a pictureque and enlivening career, though now only thirty-five years old. A soldier in Uclein Sam's regular army; a participant in the San Juan engagement in the Spanish-American war; a soldier in the eventful battle of Budaulho at Jolo, in the Philippines, an army carrier, a cowboy, a prize fighter, an ordinary laborer, a broncho busher, a professional athlete, a stockman, a newspaper reporter—these are some of the few things the son of the outlaw has done. All of his life he has had a mania for traveling. Three times around the world, a residence in every state in the United States, across Australia in a buggy, a pedestrian in China and Japan, with an explorer in Africa—James, with an explorer in Australia, where. Of all the things he has done there is only one which he regrets. He did not drive his horse Robbins into every state in the Union. But he says he will. Of all the things he has been into, this man likes the army best. But he is done with it. Married nearly two years ago, he has given up all thought of solidering any more for a living. He has spent enough to acquire a traveling bus, as he calls it, and then sets out. The honeymoon trip which brought him and Mrs. James to Philadelphia started more than a year ago in Los Angeles, Cal. They traveled via nature's roads, using a light spring wagon as the carrying apparatus, and what they both clicked the finest bay marvel in the world to power. The year James, Jr., with Philadelphia. Then he is going back to California. Not So Funny. Berlin—Motoring incognito is fun, but Crown Prince William will not do it any more.

Barge Carrying Convict Laborers Down the Mississippi River to Work on a Louisiana Levee is Cut Adrift to Tow-boat Flops. Iaton Rouge, La. The steamer Marjorie of that town is lying beached at Conrad's Pad Fort in Louisiana. The Rouge, turned turtle and tied to the bank, after turtle and tied to the bank, after the most remarkable voyages of the lower Mississippi. The Marjorie was under charter by the state board of control when the accident overtook her. She was towing one of the penitentiary barges, one of the penitentiary barges, under command of Captain Anderson. The negrones have been at Hope plantation, but we're being taken up the river to Angola, to be used in closing the Torras crevasse. The Marjorie, with her tow, had proceeded up the river without mishap as far as Morganza bane, six miles above Bayou Sara, when she ran into a storm, at about six o'clock. Just as the storm struck her she was caught in a strong eddy and became unmanageable. She was pushed through the eddy, however, and as she struck the eddy again turned turtle. The convict barge was cut loose from her and started aliminally down the river. But as it laid Bayou Sara a gasoline boat put out and brought the barge to the bank. In the meantime the officers and crew of the Marjorie, who, with the exception of the noose groc, had escaped, witnessed an unusual sight. Instead of sinking, the Marjorie started down the river, bottom upward, and soon was lost to sight. Next morning, shortly after daybreak, Ski Carpenter Broussard of the Baton Rouge Ferry company saw her, bottom up, passing down the her. He telephoned to Capt. William McCauley, the Baton Rouge company, who rushed to the front, got one of his gasoline boats and with Broussard started in pursuit. He overhaulmed the Marjorie several miles below the city, and after working all day to save her, succeeded in beaching her just before night. It is likely that the Marjorie will provide a lift. She was insured for about $3,000 and in towing barges of cotton seed and other products for the oil mill. Her performance is said by river men to be unique. They attribute her long night voyage down the river to the fact that she was much larger than is custom- Captain Starns was master of the Marjorie, Capt. Laurence Mehaffy was at the wheel when the accident occurred, and George Fredericks and Mooney Aucoin of this city were among the crew. They had narrow escapes in leaving her. The body of the man who served as cook was found in the wreckage in the morning. So far as known, this was the only loss of life. PRESENTIMENT IMPELLED HIM Vivid Impression That All Was Not Well Causes Man to Hurry to Sick Mother. Pasadena, Ca.—At length giving in to a presentment that something serious had happened at home, Orlsit Sullum, son of H. R. Sullum, No. 602 Sum- mage, rushed back with all possible appeal to Pasadena from a remote place in the third floor of a room mains north of the city, where he had gone to camp with a boy companion, to find that his fears were well grounded. He arrived late at night, and learned that in his absence his mother had become ill with a fever and had been taken to the Pasadena hospital. So vivid was the impression that all was not well which obtruded itself upon his inner consciousness that young Sullum made a madd rush of the recurring journey. He and his companion, a green of, No. 611 North Los Robles avenue, traveled 35 miles with a pack during the day. The boys held up well under the strain, but the pack man was about used up. It was reported later that Mrs. Sutliff's condition had improved and she is not believed now to be in danger. "I cannot describe the feeling that came over me," the said Sutliff youth. "It not that I ever took any stock in that kind of thing or anything of that kind ever have. But I suddenly got to feeling something was wrong. The fear became a settled conviction. Although we had provisions enough to keep us two weeks longer, and had started out with the intention of remaining as long as possible, I could not keep from turning back. I felt very much disturbed. Nothing could be held me back." The boys were near the head of Mill Creek, very near the hills that border upon the desert. Told Champion to Behave Chicago—When Jack Johnson appeared in United States Commissioner Buell's office wearing his hat and smoking, a 120-pound ballt jerked the weed from his mouth, threw Johnson's hat on the floor, told the champion to "behave" and got away with it.

POPE-TURNBO PROPRIETOR "Poro" College 3100 Pine St. St. Louis, Mo. THE "PORO" SYSTEM of Scalp and Hair treatment is based on the latest scientific and sanitary methods, effecting a healthy scalp thus promoting a growth of beautiful hair. The "Poro" preparations used in connection with the treatment are made and sold exclusively by myself, having the exclusive right to the name and I alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "PORO," it will continue to do so if only the scalp and hair be kept clean. This sanitary method of treatment is also having the desired effect in helping to prevent the spread of diseases, for it fact faces the hail in sanitary condition which often proves fatal to innocent persons coming in contact with them.
