DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, MAY 23, 1913. EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS 1913. (By John L. Thompson.) Again on bicycle with pen in hand we have started out upon our regular annual collecting trip incidentally to observe the changes and improvements that have been made among our race in each community, town or city that we might visit. I sometimes think that these lessons become a bore or monotonous to our readers, yet after all and after a lapse of a year we are glad to hear of the progress that the race is making in their community, which to some degree is encouraging because they are so many towns and so many individuals that are deserving of space that we must necessarily condense the articles even though we would like to do otherwise. still here working at her business, doing well. The tri-cities will be our next stop. (Special to the Iowa State Bystander) The official program for the Colored Women's Federated Clubs of Iowa, which is to meet in Davenport, May 28th to 28th, 1913, seems to be quite a bit mixed up and misleading in the main. The erroneousness of the official program is causing some dissatisfaction. The official program is persistent in stating that the federation is to be held at the Third Baptist church, which statement is not true. Bethel A. M. E. church, southeast corner of Ripley and Eleventh streets, is the place of meeting. Bethel A. M. E. church asked for the meeting long before the Federation voted Davenport its meeting place for 1913. I told the ladies who went up to Sioux City to tell the Federation if Sioux City to tell the Federation for their next visit. ceased are extern sympathy of sorrow. We glad to I. T.

This town bears an Indian name and was one of the oldest settlements in Iowa by a band of Quakers from Pennsylvania. In fact Oakalaose is today unique in Iowa, as it has the only Quaker college in the state and the only Holiness college in Iowa. In fact it has three colleges with a population of about 1000, of which about 600 are colored people, who have two churches, the A. M. E. presided over by our friend, Rev. John H. Bell, who is making a success, and the M. E. church, pastored by Rev. A. A. Tolson, a new minister recently assigned here. He is now a pastor, and upon his work, Mr. A.

I think perhaps a larger per cent of our race here own our own homes than any other town in Iowa. Our agent, Mr. N. L. Black, had done his duty as a real agent. He had collected most all the subscription dues. Rev. W. D. Brown, pastor of the A. M. E. church, the only colored church here, is doing well. He is improving the church both on the interior and exterior preparatory to entertaining the district Sunday school convention on the 25th of June.

He is neither a brother of John Spencer, the con- director of Grinnell. Mr. Geo. Black is the oldest colored barber in Iowa. He has been barbering in Iowa since 1852 and Ye Editor is indebted to Mr. Black for some manuscripts and early history of the first colored colonies in Iowa, which we are compiling to some day print a history of Iowa colored men. Mr. Mott, the barber, is one of the best fixed financially here. Mr. Rhodes is still working at the depot. Iowa City was our next stop. Dwells but a few families.

Here lives about 500 colored people. Mr I. P. Johnson and Arthur Manley i. P. own very valuable acreage garden farms near the city limits. Wm. Thompson is doing well. His wife. Mrs. Alice, is improving from a spell of sickness. Miss Fannie Gooms is still matron at the court house. The three Greenway boys and father are still running a first class barber shop.

I told the ladies who went up to Sioux City to tell the Federation if they chose Davenport for their next meeting place that we extended them a cordial welcome to the Federation in Bethel A. M. E. church. Now I understand that this invitation was accepted by the Federation. The federated clubs of Davenport all understood that Bethel A. M. E. church is the meeting place of the Federation, which convenes in our city May 26th to 28th. We also have a number of men by the name of Stovall, and some of them are reverends. I notice that a Rev. Stovall is to make a welcome address on behalf of the Federation. I would like to know the gentleman's full name and where he is from, etc. I think this is due anyone who is placed upon a program of this kind. and oblige. Yours for the Federation T. B.

Measure Known as House Bill No. 28 intended to Prevent Intermarriage between Races Failed of its Purpose by a vote of More than one-half. Big Victory For the People. Columbus.—The second week in April records the defeat of Ohio's separate marriage measure known as house bill No. 27. The fight against the permissible proposition was won after a severe Ohio, which lasted for several weeks. Ohio. Afro-Americans, male and female, with the aid of their influential white friends, protested vigorously against the measure, which was intended to humiliate the race in the state in particular and in the nation in general. The Cleveland delegation, known as the "militant warriors," led by the HON. HARRY C. SMITH. brave and experienced Harry C. Smith, was composed of Dr. H. C. Bailey, Theodore B. Green, Madama Bianche Glinore, Beside Kilzmiller and Mollie C. Green, gave their leader the most loyal support throughout the tedious struggle which culminated in a sweeping victory for human rights regardless of race or color. The vote stood thirty-two for and sixty-six against the passage of the separate marriage bill. Thus Ohio registers her protest against discrimination on account of race in no uncertain terns. This makes the sixth state to vote down measures of this kind. The other states are Iowa, Kansas, New Jersey, Michigan and Pennsylvania. The Hou. Mr. Smith has been three times elected to the state legislature, though not a speaker, and to support which members of the race gave him in this recent brilliant fight has greatly encouraged him to continue in the work for racial uplift. On Nov. 7, 1805, when Mr. Smith was a candidate for re-election, he received 3,000 votes more than the Republican candidate who was running for common pleas judge. In September, 1809, Mr. Smith was renominated for the second time and was elected by a large vote. There were thirty candidates, and Mr. Smith's plurality on election was the most popular work, personal and newspaper, in the interest of the race and the Republican party for a period of more than twenty-eight years is well known. His most conspicuous work as a legislator in the interest of the race during his first term (in 1804) was the passage of the Ohio civil rights law. His "mob violence or anti-punching" law, which is now on the statute books of the grand old state, overshadows all his work in the general assembly of Ohio. For four years, during the time Senator Foraker was governor, and as a result of his favor, Mr. Smith was a deputy state oil inspector. His bond of $5,000 was signed by three of Cleveland's oldest and most highly respected colored citizens. Though born in West Virginia in 1853, he has lived since 1851 in Ohio at Cleveland, where he attended the public schools, graduating from the Central high school. No other Negro legislator the state has ever bad has such a splendid record for work done, and he has been the best benefit to the race. No other is more highly respected in Ohio than Mr. Smith. Indeed, he is the only Negro legislator who has ever accomplished such work for the race. Mr. Smith has always wielded a fearless and able pen for right and truth. He has fought squarely in behalf of his race, demanding for it recognition wherever denied. Though at times he has been severely criticized, he has never yelled from what he considered his duty.

The press reports of it were inevitably fragmentary and did not carry information of the proceedings much beyond local limits. A complete and official report has now been published, and the pages that are as interesting as a romance. In fact, though a mirror of actual experiences, they bear not a little of the spirit of romance. The convention lasted three days. It was composed of delegates from all over the country, representing all kinds of business and the several professions. The farmers were perhaps in the majority, but there were mergerists, doctors and ministers, the unction of whose prayers and the eloquence of whose addresses have rarely been surpassed in gatherings of that kind. These conventions are to a very significant extent barometers of progress. It is eleven years, since the league held a previous one in Chicago a year over a decade. At that time it was in the experimental stage, but emerged from that a considerable increase in the number of the an occasion for looking hopefully to the future. On the return to the western metropolis there were scores of guests and delegates who had gratifying personal records of progress to present. About fifty different enterprises were listed on the programme. As stated by the compiler of the report S. Laing Williams, assistant United States attorney at Chicago and of actual experience growing confidence were never so great at any previous convention of the league." It was an experience meeting of the most interesting kind. Stories of coming up from nothing to independence, to popularity and even to affluence were told with the quaintness of speech that we expect from the shrewd negro who has gained his education in the rough school of experience, and the compiler has not corrected his syntax or attempted to translate his idioms into conventional phrase. That would have extracted some of their choicest flavor. That the audience derived the keenest enjoyment from these recitals was evident from the frequency with which applause was produced, and pictures the various life stories that ought to be an inspiration to the younger members of the race. Nothing is wasted upon such a gathering. It is as quick to recognize humor as it is ready to give close attention to serious counsel. The only remarkable thing about that first Chicago convention, says the compiler, "was the wide vision and splendid optimism of its president, Dr Booker T. Washington." He is still its president and conducted the latest deliberations. Since the league was launched there has been an outgrowth of scores of affiliated leagues, all of the agencies of negro progress. It is one of the children of Booker Washington's wise enterprise and consecration to the welfare of his people. When his service for the race shall come to be measured it is not alone Tuskegee that must be taken into the account. Smile and your friends will join you.

Among the hymns Mr. Morgan requested while alive, that if "Calvary" was sung by Harry Burleigh, the Negro bartone, whom he had heard often and of whom Mr. Morgan was an admirer. Burleigh lives in Atlanta, Ga. The magnate and the Negro were friends. The one had great fortune, the other had great talent.

Forrest Cozart, one of the best known colored waiters in the United States, and who has been greatly interested along with thousands of other readers in the articles on "Why Colored Waiters Are Losing Out." In an interview save the views on the subject. Mr. Cozart is an ex-head waiter, having had twenty years' experience as head waiter in large hotels jocated in every section of this country. He is author of the "Waiters' Manual," the first book of its kind published in America, and is one of the founders of the Head and Second Waiters' Benefit association, and was the organization's first presided over. Mr. Cozart, in discussing the subject, said: "I desire to submit the following reasons why colored waiters are losing out: "First. Owing to previous conditions and race prejudice he is not only held within certain bounds, but many avenues heretofore open to him are now being closed. The influx of foreigners of many nationalities is producing a labor crisis in all branches of labor, therefore they are crowding out the colored workingmen all along the line. "Second. $\Gamma$ have no knowledge of the individual cases cited a few weeks before. But B. P. Connolly convinced that the greatest drawback to the colored waiter is the lack of a sufficient number of competent head waiters. "That I have not hastily embraced this conclusion may be known by presenting the following facts: The colored waiters are facing the same condition today that confronted them twelve or fifteen years ago. At that time a general movement seemed to be unfolding among colored waiters. Matters became very serious, especially throughout the middle states and northwest. About this time a few progressive head and side waiters rose to the emergency and aroused their fellow-craftmen all along the line and accomplished much good. Having heard many hotel proprietors claim that they were not ready to how to give good service, I published the "Waiters' Manual," a treatise on dining-room service. CONSUMERS COME BACK. An old farmer had a daughter who was seized with an ambition to study high art. She dingledong at him until he agreed to send her to Paris. She went, but do not conceive any notions about what happened, for you will miss it. She lingered in gay Faree and stood for lessons from the flat-chested arteworks for a year and two months. She learned to draw so well that one could tell her Ben Davis apple from a Hubbard squash. One day she hung a good sized canvas over the head of a mashy artist and came home. In addition to various trinkets which she picked up, she brought back an idea. She injected high art into the produce marketed from the ranch. Vegetables, butter, eggs and poultry went to market in fancy packages patterned strictly on rules of art, which in plaid hats and shirts looked good to the eye. She named the place and put the farm trade-mark on every package. In two months she was getting a premium on all the good stuff the farm could turn out. The consumers were coming back and asking the retailer for goods made on this farm.—Denver Field and Farm. NURSERIES SPREAD SCALE. Professor Bentley of the Tennessee state station says that San Jose scale spreads chiefly by means of infected nursery stock. When once introduced it is only a short time before multitudes appear. When the scale are young and active they crawl upon the feet and legs of birds and insects and are thus transferred from tree to tree. Strong winds and beating rains frequently cause the young scale to be carried some distance. Young fruit trees that were planted in the autumn of last year, or in the spring of this year, should be examined carefully. Any dead twigs should be removed with a sharp knife. All very thin or delicate looking limbs that seem to be in the shape of stronger ones should be removed. Fame is made up of four letters, but how much spirit. A whispered rumor generally becomes a rumble of nosip. Brush pie crust with cream to insure a rich brown color. It is hard to reach the "so-called" big Negro with a newspaper, unless his name is in print.

Optimism is the new religion, ever needed in this hour of theological contentions. The farmer at his case has more case anyone riding on tires on the street. BASEBALL Connie Mack is carrying ten pitchers on his roster. Lee Magee of the St. Louis Cardinals is a fast man. Mike Donlin has announced that he is through with the game. "Up and at 'em, boys!" is the spirit Chance has instilled in his Yankees. Joe Jackson is ready to try for big league base-stealing honors again this year. We know that you'll be glad to learn that Brief still lingers with the Browns. When it rains just console yourself with the thought that the home team can't lose. There have been numerous extra inning games in the National league this spring. Bobby Wallace of the St. Louis Browns has been in the big leagues seventeen years. With the bases loaded, Buck O'Brien recently walked a man and handed a game to the Athletics. Howard Shanks and Ray Morgan have won regular berths for themselves with the Senators. Acosta, the sixteen-year-old Cuban who is with the Washington team, is looked upon as a coming star. The tendency of the time is to use as many pinch hitters as possible. About one in ten seems to deliver. Nick Altrock and Germany Schafer are still rehearsing their vaudeville act and coaching between times for Griffith's Senators. Bobby Besucher of the Reds is the star base stealer in the game today. Bobby not only possesses speed, but knows how to use it. Pitchers Johnson of Cincinnati, Mayer of Philadelphia, Steele of St Louis and Demarce of New York have twirled three-hit games. Manager Charley Carr's baseball college is to cost $750,000. Carr will have many star players of the majors as instructors in his school. Manager Jennings is doing his old stunts on the coaching lines this year and everything about the Tiger team is much the same as last year. Manager McGraw has decided to keep three recruits on his staff, Gaulat, Demaree and Schupp are the lineup candidates for the regular turn in the box. Chapman, one of the recruit catchers of the Reds, is attracting the attention of Manager Tinker because of the way he handles himself behind the bat. Vean Gregg, Cleveland's star south-paw hurler, thinks that a red shirt is a jinx, and says there will be nothing doing in the fery garment line for him this year. A Cincinnati sport writer says that Tinker has a good team. "All he needs is one more star twirler; the other portions of the team will do," says the oribe. Pitcher Fuchin, who has made a first-class with the Nashville team in practice, cost Nashville $30, that being the price paid to the Beatrice club for his release. Foster, the young pitcher who is showing up splendidly with the Red Sox, was once with the Browns, and last season was the star heavier of the Houston, Texas, team. Grit has decided that Ray Morgan will cling to second base. Frank Laporte is to be the utility infielder and pinch hitter of the Nationals. Beauty before age did it for the veteran. Sidney W. Challenger, of Bridgeport, has been elected president of the newly organized Eastern Baseball Writers' association, whose members will report Eastern association games. And now Connie Mack doesn't think that the Senators will cut much of a caper in the American league pennant race. Either the Athletics or the Red Sox will attend to the winning stuff this season, avers Connie. --- The New York Sun states that "camera fiends have become so numerous at major league ball parks that a halt may be called. Some of the club owners believe that persons are using cameras as a stall to get past the gate tenders for nothing." When the Nape face the Yankees on the afternoon of June 2 at the Polo grounds it will be Larry Lajoel's first appearance at the historic ball yard since 1901. Larry hopes he will bat as well there as he did in the old days, when he was a National league slugger. Harry Lord is regarded as a comeback in baseball this year. He was taken off third base last summer, but put back there this spring because he had recovered his stride. When Griff's Nationals licked the Glants in an early exhibition game, McGraw criticized Griff for instructing Johnson to go at top speed. "Weather didn't even work up a awe," was the Old Fox's reply. "If we ever get into a world's series with the Glants, he will show them a lot more than MANAGER FRANK CHANCE Leader of the New York Highlanders is much satisfied with his team and sanguine of finishing near the top in the race for the American league pennant despite the fact that from the very start of the season many of his best players were kept out of the game by reason of injuries. Leader of the New York Highlanders is much satisfied with his team and sanguine of finishing near the top in the race for the American league pennant despite the fact that from the very start of the season many of his best players were kept out of the game by reason of injuries. This promises to be a good year for Eddie Collins. Manager McGraw intends to make speed the main factor in the work of his players again this year. Another collegian who may break into the majors is Costello, the Georgetown indefender, who obtained gridiron fame last fall by booting the field goal that beat Virginia. Cleveland looks better as a pennant contender than in years; in fact, since that memorable race of 1908. The Forest City infield is one of the strongest it has ever boasted. Baseball traditions hold that in the spring the pitchers get the big end of it, pitching few hit battles, while along in June the batmen get on to them and begin to smash the pill. Jim Thore is taking the very best care of himself, according to the Giant players. He is far from being a finished ball-player, yet they claim he is learning to hit the ball good and hard every day. --- The smoothness of the workings of the Polo grounds as a home for the Glants and the Highlanders this season has revived the talk of the two big leagues doubling up on grounds in some of the other cities. SPORTING WORLD Cleveland has declared off both of the free-for-all events because of the scarcity of entries. Big money on the half-mile track is keeping a lot of horses from the grand circuit this year. Havis James has a three-year-old pacer by Hedgewood Boy that has worked a mile in 2.12¾. Koji Yamada, the Japanese expert, has challenged Willie Hoppe for the 18.2 balk line billiard championship. Gunboat Smith, with 183 pounds of heft, is the lightest heavyweight now in the limelight, but he has the stiffest punch. Shattuck of California hurled the sixteen-pound-hammer 175 feet 10 inches, setting a new mark for the intercollegiate. Harvard breathes a sigh of relief at last. Haughton has signed his three-year contract. The Crimson is now ready to sit up and take notice. The French champion cross-country runner, Boun, is ambitious of beating Watkins's record of 71 miles, 1,286 yards in an hour before retiring. Tom Burrows, the Australian, made an attempt to beat the record of 112 hours of continuous club swinging in London a few days ago, but failed after 108 hours of effort. The interstate tournament committee has appointed its committee to allot the grand American handicaps Guy Dearney, Ed Cain, Charles Newcomb, Harvey Dixon and F. M. Edwards. Henry Ordeman, the Minneapolis heavyweight wrestler, defeated Charley Cutler of Chicago in straight falls at Minneapolis. The first was made in forty-one minutes and the second in eleven minutes. Swedish athletes who won championships at the Olympic games in Stockholm last summer are to be invited to participate in the American Olympic games to be held here from June 28 to July 6. Charles Williams of London, the world’s racquet champion, beat Jack Soutar of the Racquet club, Philadelphia, four out of six games in the first half of their $2,500 a side match at the Queen’s London. Forrest Smithson, the Pacific coast athlete, who won the 116-meter high hurdle race at the London Olympic in 18 seconds, has started out as a professional coach, take charge of the Santa Clara college track team at Santa Clara, Cal. The Berlin Olympic stadium will be better than either the London or Stockholm building, the team prepares for the feet by 112 feet; the cinder track will be 1,125 feet by 19 feet, and the cycle track will measure 2,160 feet by 83 feet. TEMPTING DISH FOR EITHER DINNER OR LUNCHON. Secret of Old-Time Famous Philadel phia Caterer Revealed for the Beneft of Those Who Wish to Try IT. One of the most appetizing and tempting dishes one could wish, for either a good dinner for the family or for a most elaborate lunchon may be made by following the directions given below, which is one of the secrets of a famous Philadelphia caterer of twenty-five years ago. Drain the liquor off one can of salt malt vinegar and add asideth. Then remove all the skin and bone from the meat, plucking it up into small pieces with a silver fork and put on to boil in the liquor for ten minutes, if there is not sufficient liquor add a little boiling water, but a half cupful of liquor is sufficient. Bring to the boiling point one-half pint of milk, then stir into it a thickening made by rubbing together a tablespoonful of butter and two tablespoons of sour cream to four inches. Then add two beaten eggs, the juice of a good-sized onion, a teaspoonful of parsley, a dash of cayenne pepper and salt to taste. To the salmon add one cupful of cucumber pickles, sliced fine, and two sliced hard-boiled eggs, also the juice of half a lemon. Stir this well and pour over it the cream dressing, mix all together thoroughly and cook two minutes, then pour into an enamelled baking dish and cover with bread crumbs and bake one-half hour or until the cheese is melted, ramekins or individual fish shells and cover with bread crumbs and bake. To prepare this dish for twenty-five people use three cans of salmon, four beaten eggs, four hard boiled eggs and double the other ingredients. For two cans double only the milk and use three eggs boiled hard and more pickles, otherwise use the same quantities as given in the first recipe. At first reading this recipe may sound very complicated, but if the ingredients are brought out and set they then should be done in the order it is written and the entire dish prepared in fifteen or twenty minutes. Hamburg Roast Take two pounds of beef (top of the round is best); one-third (or more) cup of soft breadcrumbs; one egg well beaten; one teaspoonful of salt; one teaspoonful of expressed onion juice or finely minced onion; one tablespoonful of chopped parsley; one of chopped red peppers, if at hand, or a pinch of red pepper, and one fourth teaspoonful of ground glove (if desired). Mix all together thoroughly, and shape into a compact roll. Put into a baking pan with a slice of bacon or fat salt pork above it and baste with dripping as it cooks. Bake for 30 or 40 minutes. Have prepared the meat in ready, and after the meat has been seared on the outside by about 10 minutes in a very hot oven, drain the potatoes from their salt water and set them around the roast, basting both vegetables and meat with the hot fat as they cook at a slow even heat till done. Hominy Gems. One-quarter cup hominy, one-half teaspoon salt, one-half cup boiling water, one cup scaled milk, one cup white corn meal, one-quarter cup sugar, three tablespoons butter, two eggs, three teaspoons baking powder. Add hominy and salt to boiling water and stand on back of range until water is absorbed. Add milk to cornmeal then add butter and sugar. Mix well and add hominy. Cool. Add egg yolks well beaten and whites beaten stiff. These gems are delicious. Buy hominy (ground) and white cornmeal in five-pound bag. To Remove Marks From Furniture. To remove the white marks caused by the dampness from a flower-pot standing on your polished sewing machine, rub the spot with a cloth moistened with lined oil and turpentine blended together in equal parts, then polish immediately with a clean dry cloth till all traces of the treatment is removed. A cloth moistened in ordinary coal oil will often have the desired effect, depending on the kind of finishing varnish used on the article. Mending Gloves I used to find mending kid gloves more trouble than they were worth until a friend told me to mend them in the following manner: First, buttonhole all around the edge of the tear (not quite so close as when making an ordinary buttonhole); then overcast, taking up the edge of the buttonhole, and draw the two edges together.—Exchange. Little Plum Cakes. One cup sugar creamed with half a cup of butter, add three well beaten eggs, a teaspoon of vanilla, four cups sifted four, one cup raisins, one cup currants, half a teaspoon of salatier sauce, half a teaspoon of salt, enough to make a stiff batter. Drop on well buttered tins and bake in a quick oven. Corned Beef Balls Two teacups freely chopped corned beef, one onion minced very fine, three teacups mashed potato, salt and pepper to season, one egg; beat all together well, form into bails, roll well in floor and fry in deep fat, as you would dry-dried potatoes—gratin with water or celery leaves and serve hot. To Wax Hardwood Floors. Boll one half-weight of potash with the same weight of water and add one pound of beeswax; apply to the floor while hot. This makes an excellent finish for any waxed work such as inside finish of dwellings. Old Bedspreads Used. A bedspread too old for use makes very nice bath towels. Cut them the size desired and ham all around. THE BROKEN COIN ALWAYS UP TO DATE Aunt Betty, who is not really an aunt at all, but only a very dear friend of mother's, has made her home with us for over 20 years. She had been with us ever since she lost her little boy and her husband in a forest fire in Canada. One of her ideas was that some day her son would come back, alive and strong, and that he would marry Dorothy. She kept the half of a coin that had been her since her courtship days. The other half had been tied round the neck of her husband, who had vanished in the smoke. She would fetch it out of its hiding place every little while and fiddle it, saying: "My husband, I shall see you again, but my son will be here, the other half of this coin for Dorothy, as his father brought it to me." Dorothy, who is my sister, took it all in good part, and never let Aunt Betty catch her smiling at me when her future husband was mentioned. One would have thought that Chadwick was the last of people to cause any disturbance in our quiet, well-ordered life. He was an ideal chauffeur, a clean, upstanding American of far above the average intelligence. Mother liked him because he never drove too fast for her. I liked him because he had sane views on the tire question. And Dorothy liked him, she said, because he had a perfectly straight nose. As a matter of fact, there was nothing about Chadwick's nose to call for the comment which used to exasperate poor Cyrano de Bergerac. Nevertheless, either the nose or the fascination for motorising made Dorothy sadly neglect her horses for the sake of the automobile. None of us thought anything of it until one day Dorothy said she was going to see the Johnsons, who lived about 20 miles away, and went off with Chadwick in the automobile. About half an hour later he met Betty and she would like to go to the Johnsons' also. I borrowed Tony Spencer's machine and took her along. About ten miles from home we came up with our own car standing empty in the road. I pulled up and jumped out to find what was the matter. We could see no one. But it was a warm summer day, and the soft breastcare a low murmur of voices from some bushes a few yards from the road. I walked over to them, and came upon a scene I shall never forget until by dying day. Dorothy and Chadwick were both seated on the ground. He had his arm around her waist, and she had a luncheon basket in her lap. "Good heavens!" I cried. They both looked up, and then, seeing who I was, they scrambled to their mercy. "Mercy sakes!" cried Aunt Betty, who had followed me. After that there was a silence which Dorothy was the first to break. "I don't care," she said. "I love him." I was wild with rage. "What right have you to touch her, to so much as look at her?" I asked Chadwick. "You—a greasy mechanic, with your hands and clothes slimy with the oil of machines. What sort of a home could you give her? A stucco dwelling in a back street, with the neighbors' children clambering over the front porch—the neighbors' weekly wash flapping in the back yard!" He heard me out without finching, though I could see every word it uttered hurt. When I stopped for breath, he began to speak. "My God, Miss Henderson. You don't have to tell me all that I've been lying awake nights thinking about it. But what are we to do? We love each other. I swear to you I meant no harm. I want to on the thing I was most sacred." He was gigging at his neck as he spoke, and then he drew from under his shirt the half of a coin exactly like Aunt Betty's. "Where did you get that?" screamed Aunt Betty. "I've had it since I was a boy I remember my father putting it round my neck just before he fell exhausted from smoke on the banks of a river. Before he died he put me on a sort of blanket and floated me on the stream. I remember his saying, 'Go, take the old token to your mother, lad.' I was picked up further down the stream. I don't even know who my father was, but I have been trying to find my mother ever since." "My son, my son!" cried Aunt Betty, and she fainted in his arms. I shall never forget the expression on my mouth face when I brought Chadack down the river and introduced him as Aunt Betty's son and Betty's fance—Buffalo Express. Owed Good Dinner to Fish The valuable contents of a pike recently furnished the means for a festive supper to more than four hundred poor persons at Fuenfkirchen, near Budapest, Hungary. The fish, a fourteen-pounder, was purchased in the fish market of Josef Abazon, the manager of the municipal charity kitchen, and in its stomach was found a leather purse, containing gold, silver, and nickel coins. The mayor directed that part of the money should be expended on a meal to the poor, and a generous supper was served in which the voracious but luck-bringing fish formed the leading course. Mutual Confidences "Whenever I propose anything at all, my wife invariably throws cold water on me." "That's better than the way my wife does." "What's that?" "Keeps me in hot water."

He carries a compound of nitro glycerine cylinder two of oxygen and acetylene, and a blowpipe. With these easily concealed tools he can force his way through the toughest steel. The blowpipe is the deadly enemy which the safe manufacturer is now trying, with the aid of science, to circumvent. Under the intense heat that it generates the strongest steel crumplies up like paper. A circle some two feet in diameter can be cut through the metal, even if an inch thick, in a few minutes. A shell from a 4.5 gun fails to dent will fall an easy victim to a few cubic feet of oxygen and acetylene gas in combination. When the thermite process for welding iron was discovered, advantage was immediately taken of this for the purpose of burning through plates of steel. Deadly forces must be handled with care and an exact knowledge of the power of which they are capable. It is not for the reckless or the bungler to toy with the blowpipe or nitro-glycerol. To handle it, you need to acquire a scientific knowledge and skill of manipulation that, if put to some legitimate use, might open up to him an honorable career. Quite recently a safe-breaker, whose successful career was suddenly halted by the law, fairly amazed expert scientists by the completeness of his library, which comprised a valuable collection of books in French and German written by scientists for presentation to technical societies. He made a specialty of the subject of the force of the blowpipe on metals. He admitted that he had spent three years in this study. A laboratory adjoining his library was small and compact, but for completeness of equipment would have done credit to a science school. In this laboratory he discovered some tremendous force than he must to work to counteract that force in the hands of the criminal. It is said that recent experiments have produced a steel that will even withstand the blast of the blowpipe. -Harper's Weekly. Appearances Are Deadtiful An amusing comedy of errors is reported from England. A titled lady was expecting a wealthy and well known man at her country residence and sent her carriage to meet the train. At the station the coachman saw only two people—a shabby old man and an immaculately groomed woman. When he arrived later if he were going to the house, which was two miles away. He was, and drove up in state. Then came the comedy. The gentleman was asked to see her ladyship in the drawing-room, and she realized at once that a mistake had occurred. "No mistake at all, your ladyship," was the reply. "Here is my card." He was the piano tuner! The coachman asked him to meet the shabby old man covered in mud and lamenting loudly at having to walk a mile and a half in the rain. Executiona for Witchcraft Executions for witchcraft were common in England in the seventeenth century. In 1616 nine women were hanged in Leicestershire for witchery, and at Newcastle, in 1650, fifteen persons were put to death for a similar offense. Barrington estimates the "judicial murders" for witchcraft in England have two hundred to 30,000 in the space of two hundred years and has been computed that from first to last not fewer than nine millions of persons have suffered for witchcraft under the Christian regime. The last persons judicially executed in England for witchcraft were a woman and her daughter, nine years of age, who were hanged at Huntington in 1718. The last judicial execution in Scotland for witchcraft was carried out by who was condemned to death by the Sheriff of Sutherlandshire. The penal acts against witchcraft were repealed in 1738 in the reign of George II. Sixteen Weddings in Ninety Minutes. Sixteen young couples were married in an hour and a half at St. Luke's church, Victoria, Docks, Canning Town, the other morning. Some walked to the church, some came in taxicabs, and two or three in carriages drawn by pairs of grays. Two brides were in white with veils, and several wore bright costumes and enormous hats and feathers. Some of the bridegrooms had no collars; others wore tall coats and ambitious walstcoats. "I officiate on an average at five hundred marriages a year," said the vicar (Canon J. C. Buckley). "I have married more than 6,500 couples since I came here and solemnised 40,900 baptisms."—London Mall. Resonance of Mind Sound Him PRESENTS OF MIND SAVED HIM Locked in the ice chest, Levi, a ninth-grader at the Azalea School, calls the name is a mystery, escaped death in a downtown hotel, the other day by turning off the entire beer and ale supply of the establishment. Levi went into the ice chest on an arrand when some one accidentally locked the big door behind him. He shouted and pounded in vain for help, when he thought of turning off the beer and ale supply as a means of attraction. The results were immediate and excited investigators found Levi nearly frozen. MMe Rr er Nal v Me , , ‘CLARINDA NEWS.

Twies bias a petition of consent been cireulated and the necessary 80 per cent to open saloons found short only a few names. With public senti- ment thus strongly in favor of regu: lation and with the many bottles good evidence that drinking has not de- creased, what argument is there in favor of keeping the’ saloon ut and allowing the “bootlegger” to-ccme in. ‘From what we can learn, however, it. seems that the conditions that exist in Anamosa are similar to those that prevail in other towns in the state.
