Here is a place that is attractively and appropriately fitted. The surroundings will please the most captious and yet are so homelike that the most humble may enjoy anything from a plain soda water to a palatable meal or light refreshment. There is the absence of tinsel and the place has the sturdy yet dainty bearing of a practical need in a city where there is an encroachment upon the privileges of a certain class of people.

All that is needed is the continued and growing support of the people for whom it was intended. So long as the management continues in the same high class service, the success of the enterprise will depend on the loyalty with which support is given. There is nothing lacking. An elegant fountain, chairs, tables, fans, music and utensils being of taste selection. We hope that the responsibility of success will rest with those who seek liquid and solid refreshments. To let an enterprise of this character fail will be less a reflection upon those whose money and time have been invested than upon the civic pride. It is an inspiration to younger people and a faith binder for those who think we ought to do things. To help this young man is to help the tone of all business here. Our feeling must be "All for each, each for all." GREAT EMANCIPATION EXHIBIT In Connection With the National Baptist Convention, Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17-22. There will be an exhibit at Nashville, Tenn., in connection with the national Baptist convention of the special achievements of the colored people in the last fifty years. This exhibit will not in any wise be confined to the Baptists. All the states will have a special exhibit. The Negroes of Iowa should be represented in this exhibit. As representative of the association in the convention I am taking the liberty to ask all the pastors of the state in general and Mrs. J. B. Rush in particular to lock after these exhibits. Works of art, needle work, inventions—anything representing progress—should be collected and sent to the association. They will be cared for and returned to the owners. I wish to urge every pastor to do the same. In this writer, and st I wish to urge every pastor to do what he "can in this matter and attend to it without delay. T. L. Griffith. I approve this letter. S. Bates, Moderator. Selma, Ala., Aug. 10, 1913. My Dear Brother Pastor: It is the intention of the officers of the National Baptist Convention to get in touch with every Negro Baptist in the United States, and I am seeking, through you, to have a short talk with every true missionary Baptist and race loving person in your congregation by asking you to read this letter to them. It is pretty generally known by this time that the National Baptist Convention has planned to hold an exposition in connection with the next meeting of the convention, September 17 to 22, 1913, which will be in the nature of a jubilee celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation of the race. It is expected that many thousands of people will attend that celebration, and all others cannot attend, and those millions will rejoice with the thousands that will be there at what God has wrought for the race in these fifty years. We are desirous that all shall at least be heard from, and we are sending out a large number of addressed envelopes to be used by persons and organizations, who can't be present in person, and would be glad to have a few words from each one, and a donation in money to help forward the work of the Baptists in this and other lands. Every person who sends as much as one dollar will be given a souvenir of this, the greatest celebration ever held by Negroes of the United States, for $2.00 will receive the badge of the convention and minutes of the jubilee session. Use the enclosed envelope and it will insure prompt delivery and the souvenir and badge. It is needless to say that no Baptist organization can afford not to be represented at this forthcoming jubilee. Very truly yours, R. B. Hudson, Secretary National Baptist Convention. Attest: E. C. Morris, Pres. National Baptist Convention. OTTUMWA, IOWA. George Downey of Chicago is in Ottumwa visiting his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Downey. Blanche Bell of Chicago is in Ottumwa visiting friends.

IOWA WOKE TO NEED OF EDUCATION Pathos in Story of Man of Forty-Five Who Realized What He Had Missed in His Youth. "Can I get something for you?" The girl rested her hands on the counter and looked across at the customer. He was a middle-aged man. His hair was beginning to turn gray, his hands were work hardened, and the nails were scared and broken. His clothes were shabby and he wore a short, unkempt beard. "I want a 'rithmetic please." "What kind?" The girl turned toward the shelves. The man did not answer. "What kind of use?" I "I don't know." The girl turned back. "We have two kinds, you know," she explained, "one to the town and one for the country schools. Is the child going to school in town or in the country, and what grade will he be in?" "He—he ain't going to school." The man flushed, then looked into the eyes. What he saw there caused him to lean across the counter toward her. "I'll tell you the truth. I'm going to study it myself. I ain't got an education, and I'm going to get one. When I was a boy I didn't think learning amounted to nothing, and I wouldn't go to school what little chance I had. But when I grew up I seen what a fool I was, and how could be nothing more. I thought it was too late then, and so I took along for 20 years more. Now I know it ain't never too late and I am going on forty-five I'm going to have a education if it can be got. I don't have much time to learn, for I have to keep hustling to make a living for six children; but work or no work, I'm going to learn something. So if you'll tell me what 'rithmetic to get, and what other books I will need to start on, I'll be thankful.' Girl, with a little lump in her throat and her eyes smarting, turned back to the shelves—Youth's Companion. Not Liable. Senor Travieso Jr. of Porto Rico was visiting a few days ago in the office of his friend, Senor Rivera, who represents that island in congress. Travieso is a young lawyer and tells a story of a client in San Juan who was thrown out of the window of a trancar during an accident and so badly smashed up generally that he looked as if he had been to an Irish wake. Travieso sued the company for damages. Imagine his surprise when the verdict was rendered that no damages could be awarded, on the grounds that "the law allowed competition for hurts received by being thrown off the platform, but did not mention anything about damages when a passenger was projected through a window." Needed Rest. Harry Maynard used to be a member of the house of representatives until political misfortune overtook him. The last time he was in the national capital he was explaining in a jocular manner, that an extra secretary, the Secretary, Congress reminded him, he said, of a planola of which he had heard.

Bockdeloger A sockdoger) is a slang word, at one time often used for a knock-down blow, a settler or coup-de-grace, or generally "that which does the business" effectually and once for all. According to Mr. Lowell, the United States people among whom it originated, have always taken it to be a conscious perversion of "doxooger," standing for doxology, the finale of a Psalm, and so a triumphant close or ascription of praise. The connection is not easily traced, but it is doubtless the sense of finality about the doxology, which led to this rather irreverent origin of the term.

NEW PLAN ADOPTED Department of Agriculture Revises System of Publications More Popular and Practical; Matters for Scientists to Be Circulated Only Through the Journal of Washington.—The secretary of agriculture announced the other day the new plan of publication work of that department. There has been an independent series of bulletins and circulations in each of the 13 publishing branches, divisions and offices of the department. These have been discontinued and will be superseded by the Journal of Research for printing scientific and technical matter, and by a departmental series of bulletins, written in popular language for selected and general discussion. By this time that has resulted from the multiplicity of series of publications will be avoided, and the saving of a considerable sum will annually be effected. Under the new plan the department will discontinue the general distribution of matter so scientific or technical as to be of little or no use to the lay reader. It will supply technical information that is interested and capable of using scientific analyses, and of understanding the results of research work couched in scientific terms. A larger amount of information in popular form which the average reader can immediately apply to his own direct advantage, and therefore the usefulness and the health of the nation, will hereafter be distributed. The highly scientific matter heretofore published indiscriminately in bulletins and circulars will hereafter be published only in the newly established Journal of Research, which will be issued about once a month. It will be royal octave, of the scientific magazine type, from 75 to 100 pages, 12 numbers to constitute a volume. Such of the matter in the Journal as seems to be published in the form of reprints or separates. The Journal, for the present at least, will be limited to the publication of the results of research made by the David F. Houston, Secretary of Agri culture. various bureaus, divisions and offices, but it may be extended to include the scientific research work of the state agricultural experiment stations, in which event two editors representing these stations will be added to the editorial committee. Exclusive scientific articles, embodying a complete report of research investigations, will be considered as monographs, and may be published as supplements to the Journal. Permission will be given to specialists to publish technical reports or even monographs in journals of scientific interest. The journalical magazines specializing in highly restricted field of scientific endeavor The Journal will be distributed free to agricultural colleges, technical schools, experiment stations, libraries of large universities, and certain government depositories and institutions making suitable exchanges; also to a restricted list of scientists. Copies of the Journal will be sold to miscellaneous institutions, government printers, ent of documents, government office, and possibly an annual subscription price will be affixed, as is done with the Experiment Station Record. The Monthly Crop Reporter will no longer be published. The crop statistics will be collected as heretofore, and telegraphic and news summaries of these statistics will continue to be issued to the press. The printed Crop Reporter was discontinued because it did not bring the information into the hands of the recipients until from 10 to 17 days after the really important news had been circulated by telegraph and printed in the daily press throughout the United States and Europe, the statistical information, therefore, reaching the actual crop correspondent and through him the local products too late to be of practical service. As a partial substitute for the printed Crop Reporter, a weekly News Letter to crop correspondents will be issued in typewritten or other form. This can be prepared and put into the mails sooner than was possible with the Reporter. The Experiment Station Record, the Weather Review and North American Fauna will continue to be issued with certain modifications. The Yearbook will be restricted to articles of the magazine type, which "Then your wife didn't enjoy her trip to Niagara." "No; the minute she saw that rushing water she began to wonder if she hadn't come away from home and left the bathhauc faucet running" Hence the Delay. "Why doesn't she sue for divorce if her husband is as bad as all that?" "She's going to. But He has just bought a 1913 model car and she wants to get some use out of that first." it is believed, will add greatly to the popularity and value of the volume, of which 500,000 copies are printed and distributed annually. The series of farmers' bulletins will be continued. The object of these bulletins is to tell the people how to do important things. The bulletins will contain practical, concise and specific and constructional statements with regard to matter relating to farming, including farming, etc. Under the new plan the bulletins will be reduced in size to from 15 to 20 pages, and will deal particularly with conditions in restricted sections, rather than attempt, as heretofore, to cover the entire country. Much of the information selling for immediate circulation will be issued hereafter in the form of statements to the press instead of being held back as heretofore for weeks until a bulletin could be printed and issued. The publication of bulletins selling with foreign crop sales will be discussed in detail of this character when deemed important will be furnished to the press for the information of the public. Consideration is being given to the discontinuance of certain annual reports of bureau now required by law to be printed, with the belief that much of the matter therein contained is unnecessary, while certain portions could be more advantageously and more promptly as bellesleys of department. All executive reports of chiefs are to be reduced with the object of confining them to business reports strictly. The secretary of agriculture has designated three experts in veterinary upon meat-packing establishments operating under federal supervision at various points in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Missouri and Illinois. It is the purpose of the secretary to extend this work, and to secure for these inspections the leading authorities in the country, with the idea that such action will foster confidence of the public in the meat-packing work. These already authorized are as follows: Dr. W. T. Sedgwick, professor of bacteriology and sanitary engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston, to inspect the federally inspected establishments at Boston, Worcester and Brightwood, Mass., and New Haven, Conn. Dr. V. A. Moore, professor of pathology, New York State Veterinary college, Cornell University, to inspect the conditions in the meat-packing establishments at Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Buffalo and New York. Dr. J. W. Connaway, Missouri Agricultural college, Columbia, Mo, to inspect and report on conditions in the meat-packing establishments of Kansas City, St. Louis, and St. Joseph, Mo, and National Stockyards, Illinois. The secretary's instructions to each of these experts reads as follows: "With a view of safe guarding public health and maintaining the highest detection in the meat inspection service of this department, it is my desire that you report directly to me fully and frankly the conditions as you find them at the various packing establishments, together with such recommendations looking to the improvement of the service as in your judgment may seem best." This new inspection of meat-packing establishments by outside experts, under temporary assignment by the government, will in no way be done or lessen the time and done by the supervision of animal industry. The idea, according to the secretary, is simply to have the inspection and regulatory work checked up by competent authorities who will report directly to the secretary. turtured by the confessed and sur- rendered "conscience money" to the federal go- vernment d ur p j g This Fund a sense money” to Sacred Subject. the federal government during the fiscal year 1913 than for many years. the “conscience fund” received during the twelve months ending June 30 totaled only $8,141.44, the lowest amount since 1901 and comparable with a hundred-year average of $4,200. The fund is the only official index to scraps, but no treasury official attempts to explain the decrease in restitution of money received from the government by fraud or error. During the last hundred years the government has received conscience contributions aggregating nearly a half million dollars, the exact figures up to June 30 last being $43,415.69. The remarkable fund was established during President Madison's administration in 1811, when the first contribution of $5 was received. The largest amount ever received in one year was $385,868 in 1902, and the greatest individual contribution of $1,689,690 was made to the collector of customs in New York more than a year ago by an unidentified person, who presumably defrauded the government of tax takers. Treasury officials surround the fund with a certain degree of sacredness. Usually the penitent sends his contribution anonymously, but if he signs his name his secret is locked in the archives of the government. It is the one place in the federal establishment where a contrite sinner may make confession and amends without the slightest danger of prosecution.

Thus writes Mr. Thomas Ellison in his "Cotton Trade of Great Britain": "Fabrics as fine as any that can be turned out at the present day by the most perfect machinery in Lancashire were produced by the nimble fingers of the Hindoo spinners, and the primitive looms of the Hindoo weavers, a thousand years before the invasion of Britain by the Romans."

"Of course I cannot help feeling just a little anxious about Mildred going away off to that cold country," said Mrs. Armour, "but I understand that the Cliuet is a very good vessel and they have very skillful officers and crew on board. "Mildred, you know, was in Smith college and Doctor Grenfel has always obtained proficiency teachers that they will teach a kindergarten class in the mission at Battle Harbor, which is attached to the big hospital Doctor Grenfel maintains there.

In tones of imperious authority she addressed the senator: "I want you to seat me over yonder in the corner by the window," she said, pointing to a vacant seat.

Proudly menu, she demanded, addressing Colonel Lewis, still playing the role of head waiter, "Now what do you advise me to take?" "Well, madam, under ordinary circumstances," responded the smiling senator, "I would advise you to take; but as I am married that would cause both of us embarrassment under the law. The man who has just entered the room and is now standing at the door is the head waiter of this place, and I am certain he will demand you food. I will send him to you." Senator Lewis withdrew with several profound bows, not divulging his identity, but thoroughly enjoying the experience. The judge is dissatisfied with the present embassy, which he finds too small. "I could not invite my mother-in-law," he observed. "The president must have been aware of its size and therefore selected a childless ambassador." Being asked what he estimates it will cost him to suitably maintain the dignity of the United States, he answered: "Well, one American ambassador who has been in Europe less than a year told me that so far he has spent $128,000, and he did not seem to be making a sultur either." The judge have the talk about poor men for diplomats and about diplomatic simplicity a severe jolt in the interview, frankly declaring that he intends to conform to the customs and court of the country to which he has been sent, even to wearing a diplomatic uniform and that he purposes doing everything necessary to give Germans the right idea of the dignity, importance and greatness of America. from the jungle.

AFTER MANY YEARS Justice Sent in Her Bill, and, as Usual, It Was the Woman Justice Sent in Her Bill, and, as Usual, It Was the Woman Khiroda, at the tag end of her youth, woke up one morning to find that her lover had departed in the night, leaving her destitute. She found that, in all the thirty-eight years of her life she had not even made one person her own, nor earned the right even to the corner of a home in which to live and die. She realised that life had no pity upon her and would relax even to the corner of a house tended to down to the smallest detail, and she rolled on the floor beating its hardness with her forehead in an agony of despair. Evening came, and it grew dark. Khiroda had not the heart to tidy the room, nor to light the lamp. Her hungry child cried till it could cry no longer, and fell asleep. A knock came to the door and a man's voice called out "Khiro, Khiro." Khiroda fung open the door and rushes out at him who stood there with her broom hung. Then she convulsively clutching the child to her bosom, she went out of the house and jumped into the well. The splash brought the neighbors hurrying to the spot and the bodies were faked out. The mother was unconscious, but the child was dead. Khiroda was brought round in the hospital and was committed to the sessions by the magistrate. Mohit Datta was the sessions judge. He sent Khiroda to death. Her advocates tried their utmost to get some mitigation of the sentence, but without success. There was some reason for this severity of his attitude toward feminine abuse in his time to impose into his earlier history will disclose. Mohit in his undergraduate days lived near the house of an elderly couple with a young widowed daughter, Sasi. What little of the world Sasi used to see from behind the barrier of her lonely widowhood seemed to her like some golden land of mystery, where happiness stalked abroad. Her laughing cramped the beatages of her heart. In the intervals of her domestic duties Sasi sat at the window watching the crowd on the public road. She thought to herself how happy were the passers-by, how free were the hawkers in the comedy of life, and morning and evening saw the well groomed Mohit strutting past in the fulness of his self-concet. To her hawkers in the comedy of life she saw she saw around her. Perhaps Sasi could have cheerfully spent all her life playing with her demi-god in the heaven of her fancy had not her evil star made the demi-god smile upon her and materialize the heaven within her reach. It is needless to relate at length when Mohit's covetous glance first fell upon Sasi, how he began to write to her under the false name of Binode, when the first trembling, ill-speech reply threw him into a frenzy of the poor little wonders world was turned to topsy-topsy in the whirlwind of ecstatic surrender. Late one night Sasi left her father and mother and got into a carriage brought by Mohit, alias Blinode. When her demi-giud, with all his tinsel showing, got inside and sat close beside her, a sudden inrush of remorse bowed her to the dust. And when the carriage actually began to move she fell at his feet, crying: "For pity's sake, let me go back home." But the carriage rapidly drove away. To narrate all the episodes of Mohit's early career would grow monotonous. This will serve as a sample Today there was no one to remember the escapades of young "Bilnode." Mohit Datta was quite a reformed character. His reading of the sacred books was incessant; he even practiced austerities. A few days after passing sentence on Khriroda, Mohit happened to be in the prison garden, where he grew fresh vegetables for his own table. He heard from inside the jail the sound of high words, and entering, found Khriroda in the midst of vigorous bickering with the warder. Mohit smiled a superior smile. She would dispute, thought he, amused at his conceit, even with the doorkeeper of Hades. As he drew nearer Khriroda, with clapped hands, addressed him, saying: "Mr. Judge, for mercy's sake, tell him to give me back my ring." On inquiry he found that a ring had been hidden in the loops of Khriroda's hair, which the warden discovering had appropriated. Mohit was again amused. This desire for a baule on the steps of the prison garden, "Let me see the ring," said he to the warden, who handed it over to him. Mohit started as if it had been a piece of live coal. In the ring was set a miniature portrait on ivory of a young, beardless youth. In its gold rim was engraved the name "Binode," He raised his eyes from the ring, and for the first time looked Khrida roses. He looked at them there the fresh, fond, tear-beded countenance of 24 years ago. But, ah! what a difference. Literally.

An old she bear with her two tour-month-old cubs had snapped around the camp of a party of angels in the wayback trout region of Pike county, Pennsylvania, until the campers be mind that they would have to move out and the bear family more in to the law protected the bears against gun or trap. One evening the cubs came walking along on the edge of the camp alone, having evaded the watchers of their mother. The camp guide believed he knew enough about bear to get some fun out of the camp. There was New England rum as well as other snake bite anteaters in the camp commissary. The guide mined a quart of rum with a sufficient combination of molasses to make the combination effective, put the mixture in a big ground near where the two little bears were inspecting the possibilities of the camp. The cubs sniffed around a white, and then with some caution sampled the rum and molasses. The sample suited them so well that they instantly got busy sopping it up out of the basin by the pawful. By and by one of the cubs, evidently fearing the moving influence of the disorientation, sniffed off and swatted his mate across the sutton that roused the temper of the sutton cubs and be rose on his haunches with and be growl and fire in his eye, and a termination to pitch into his companion. But the rum and molasses had gone to his head, and over he went on the ground, in a heap. Then the cub that had started the fuss made a dab at the one on the ground and fell on top of him. The fun was on. The two tippy cub claw and scratched and pawed and clawed and tumbled around, snapping the fun was paying off a party war. The fun was paying off all the annoyance the basset had given them, when suddenly the old she bear appeared on the scene. For a few seconds she stared at the fighting cubs and then seemed to come to an understanding of the situation, for she dashed forward, grabbed the cubs each by the scaff of the neck, and ran with their teeth all but rattled. They sounded, while they whined and wigged under the chastisement, and, giving an ugly growl at the campers, were doubled up with illiteracy over the situation, she marched her inebriated offspring away from there on the double quick. Camping party remained there a week after that, but that bear family did not come near the camp again, again. Hla Oblituary. Sam Polk was editor of the Polkton Clarion. Horatius F.

A. J. BOOKER. Any child old enough to go to school has intelligence sufficient to be taught the absolute necessity of cleanliness. Civilization and refinement are based on oral righteousness—the use of the tooth brush. Every child should brush its teeth and rinse the mouth after eating by holding water in the mouth and forcing it through the teeth. If one will take time to explain, take time to reason, in a calm, reasonable way to point out the advantages of oral cleanliness, children will respond. A prominent physician said a few days ago that he had observed infections of the glands about the mouth more frequently in Negro than other children. This was not said in a reflecting nor unkind spirit. There is a reason. School children should be taught again the necessity of visiting the toilet at regular periods. The bowels should be regularly and naturally evacuated. This should be done as home before the hustle and bustle of school work begins. Many ailments of later life, especially among girls, date from negligence of this important matter. It takes more than commands and a mere telling; sit down and reason with a child. Do not depend upon frightening a child—no one is justified in lying and surely never to a child. Keep the mouth clean; it is germs, not candy, that cause can lie. Instruct children to care for themselves. Time must and will be taken somewhere along the route and it is better to take the time before the doctor comes and bad habits are firmly established. It is pitiable to see young growing children taking up the cathartic habit, suffering from headache and other illnesses that a few moments a day would prevent. CLINTON, IOWA.

Good Reason For His Enthusiasm. When a man has suffered for several days with colic, diarrhoea or other form of bowel complaint and is then cured sound and well by one or two doses of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, as is often the case, it is but natural that he should be enthusiastic in his praise of the remedy, and especially is this the case of a severe attack when life is threatened. It never fails. Sold by all dealers. MINNEAPOLIS MINN. Mrs. Anne Goode and son Willie of Grinnell, Ia., visited Mrs. R. B. Moulden a few days last week.
