There are many successful farmers living adjacent to this town. While the crops this year were very bad, yet, like most of the farmers, they were making the best of the situation that they could. There are two churches here, moving along as usual. The school is presided over by Professors S. W. Bigby and R. H. Payne, who are very competent young men, with a bright future before them. They are well liked and are doing fine. Messrs. Ben Price, Spencer, Payne and John L. Ford are some very successful men. Mr. S. R. Robinson and J. W. Morris are living in town, but working out in the country. Mr. Blanton and Mr. Griggs and S. W. Franklin are hustlers and well respected. Chillicothe was our next step. Here we find Mr. E. C. Quinn building an addition to their beautiful home, which when completed will be one of the finest modern cottages owned by colored people in this part of Missouri. They are very successful people. Rev. B. S. Sawyers, a pioneer Baptist preacher of this part of Missouri and well known throughout the middle west, owns valuable property. NOVEL GAME LAWS Marked Features of Legislation of Year Was Unusual Progress in Establishment of Bird and Game Refuges. Washington — Ohio and Pennsylvania now require hunters to wear a badge conspicuously exposed, bearing the number of their hunting license, according to Bulletin No. 22 of the department of agriculture, setting forth game laws of the United States and Canada for 1913. Hunters are required by the authorities of Manitoba to wear a white coat or sweater and cap, while those who hunt for big game in Saskatchewan must wear a complete outer suit and cap of white. Maine, New Jersey, North Dakota, Washington, Mississippi, Louisiana, Minnesota and Wyoming prohibit the use of a Conceit has provided that any hunter who shall injure a fence or let down a bar without replacing it shall forfeit his hunting license privileges for two years. Connecticut, Pennsylvania and British Columbia require license applicants under sixteen years of age to furnish the written consent of parent or guardian. Vermont has a similar restriction for those under fifteen, and Oregon does not permit children under fourteen years old to hunt except on the premises of their parents, relatives or guardians. Numerous states are restocking preserves with elk and other big game. In the effort to protect this game Pennsylvania, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin have protected elk for a term of years, and in Massachusetts, where a few moose have escaped from the Mountain forest,rive into the adjoining highlands, a perpetual close season for moose has been provided in the hope that this area may eventually be restocked from this nucleus. During the year 18 states created game preserves, 14 in the United States and 4 in Manitoba. In Washington the county game commissioners were authorized to create game preserves, not to include more than three townships in a county, and the authorities of Michigan, Ohio and Vermont were authorized to establish game preserves on private lands. One of the marked features of the legislation of this year was the unusual progress in the establishment of bird and game refuges. By executive order four national bird reserves were created, the Aleutian reservation, containing the entire chalus of Aleutian islands, in Alaska, and the smaller reservations of Walker lake in Arkansas, Pettis岛 island in Alaska and Kala岛 island in Pyramid lake, Nev., thus bringing the total number of national bird reservations up to 64. Recently the Niobara bird reservation has been enlarged and stocked with a herd of buffalo, elk and deer. A number of changes in laws protecting big game were made during the year. Colorado and North Dakota prohibited all killing of deer for a term of years and Saskatchewan has provided a close season throughout the year for all big game snowfishing that does not all seasons were enacted in Florida, Nevada and Wyoming. The deer seasons were shortened from two weeks to two months in Utah, Wyoming and Quebec. New Hampshire lengthened the season two weeks in Coos county Vermont ten days, and Massachusetts opened the season in the few closed counties, the hunting shooting throughout the state. Wyoming and Montana, heretofore affording the principal hunting for elk and sheep, have recently limited the hunting area to a few counties in each state, where the seasons have usually been shortened. Wyoming has adopted the innovation of allowing the killing of female elk only under ordinary conditions, and sees to obtain a special $15 license to kill a bull or an additional cow. The most important changes in seas sions are due to the passage of the federal law protecting migratory birds. Under the regulations proposed by the department of agriculture spring shooting is entirely eliminated and the seas sions materially shortened in several states. Restriction of hunting and greater uniformity of laws is the general trend of state legislation in the matter of seasons. Florida repealed all local game laws and made the season uniform through the state amnesia of a measure in Wisconsin adopting the same opening date for upland game as is in force in Minne eota and North Dakota illustrates the fact. New York phased a close season on quail for five years and Kansas added both quail and prairie chickens to the close-season list until 1918. Ohio suspended hunting of quail, ruffed grouse and doves for two years. Pennsylvania eliminated the open season on doves, kildere plover and blackbirds, while Utah extended complete protection to doves, swans and all shore birds except snipie. The strand of legworms was been held toward electing the close season. Delaware shortened the season on ducka a month and on geese two weeks; Indiana curtailed the season six weeks on doves and ten days on quail and ruffed grouse; Michigan, 16 days on woodcock, and Missouri, one month on quail; Ohio shortened the season, 45 days on doves and pigeons. The Chinese get a very palatable food from the chrysalis of the silk worm. The poor remove the envelope, broil the chrysalis and eat it with salt and pepper. In the homes of wealth, however, the chrysalis is fried in lard, butter or oil, and mixed with the yolk of an egg. But the strangest of all food is the larvae of a certain fly, the Ephydra. The flies are used on the shore in windows and can be collected in bushel baskets. The in- six weeks on shore birds, rail and geese, and west of the Casemes curtailed the season on ducks 17 days. New Jersey shortened the open season 36 days on upland game and the Virginia cut down the woodcock season two weeks. In Utah 45 days were taken off the open season on sage hens and in Wyoming one month on sage grouse and two months on sage hen and geese. Americanizing the aliens. Regulations have been in effect in the department for more than a year to prevent the enlistment in the navy of any but American citizens. The success of this new policy may be shown by the fact that more than 95 per cent of the sailors in the navy are now Americans. It is declared by the navy department that the policy of not accepting any foreigners was adopted because it was desired not to discriminate against any nationality. Citizens of some countries are highly desirable in the navy, but others are very objectionable, it was said. The department found it could occur some enlistments of foreigners and in newborn others without causing trouble. The same regulations are not in force in the army and marine corps, although there is talk of their adoption there in the near future. There has been so much trouble in filling up the army under existing conditions that the heads of the war department have hesitated to exclude allens. An officer of the navy department said the other day that the new rule was put into effect because of the desire to protect the government's naval secrets from other nations. With allens in the navy department and on the island, it is always danger of "heaks" he said. "It is desirable that our yards and ships be manned by Americans who have sworn allegiance to the flag," he continued, and "and therefore we are getting rid of foreigners as rapidly as possible. We have gone about it gradually, as we are not able to draft men for the service." Developing a New Fruit. the plant line that this country has drawn from China. The new fruit is the "cha," a near relative of the Osage orange, but it bears fruit that is good to eat, which the Osage orange does not. Anything that is good to the Osage orange has to create interest in the southwest. That plant has proved one of the most valuable for windbreaks in the west. There are literally thousands of miles of Osage orange hedge on the Western ranches. It has proved drought and alkali resisting and will stand almost any amount of heat while it makes an osage hedge that is impenetrable to almost anything. The new relative of the hedge plant, the cha, is not so well understood. It will thrive above the frost line, but just how far is not yet known. The fruit is small and round and looks something like a sycamore ball. It has small seed and is sweet and indistinguishable flavor. Several have been raised in the experimental garden and they are being distributed and tried under varying conditions of soil and climate to see what they will stand. The fruit was first brought here and tried out in the experimental garden by David Parachild of the office of plant and seed introduction, since it has been found and sent in by Frank Myer of the same office, who is on an agricultural exploring trip in the interior of China. That the inventive genius of the country is busy is indicated by the annual report of the commission of Busy Year. Interventions, for pat- ments during the year totaled 67,986 and the largest on record, except for 1912, when there were 69,236. During the year 38,754 patients were granted, and 166 trade marks, 664 licensees, and 154 cases were registered, the receipts from all sources aggregated $2,082,490; expenditures, $1,924,294; the net revenue being $158,030. The patent office has the distinction of being one of the few bureaus of the government that is operated as a profit, the net surplus of the office since its establishment being $7,500. The retiring commission, Edward St. Moore, who made the report, recommends an increase in the salaries of patent office officials in order to retain exceptionally well-equipped men in the service, and urges strongly the erection of an adequate building to insure the preservation of "the records and archives of the office." Protection of Records. To protect records of the government from fire, congress has made an appropriation for the installation of a modern system of auxiliary fire protection for three of the largest buildings occupied by the department of the interior in the city of Washington. A committee has been appointed to investigate the relative merits of systems adapted to the buildings of the department and to prepare plans and specifications. dians gather them, dry them and grow fat on them.

No one but it is regarded by some critics as "quite suitable for the amusement of children, and is labeled 'The Pickwick' and 'The Bigelow Papers' of the Bible." If the story is "wholly fiction," says Professor Townsend, and the church teaches that it is "really historic," then we have a right to laugh at it; but if it is "regarded by many intelligent and scholarly people as veritable history," then the real investigation is in order. Beginning at the beginning, he sets out to establish by evidence the historical character of Jonah, and the actual existence of Nineveh, and Mrs. George W. Goethals, talented wife of Col.

To his wife is due much credit for building the canal once hailed as a clean, deity and desirable place in which to live. She is a most admirable mate for Col. Goethals.

The weekly issue began in 1861, and though the great preached tiled in '1891, he left behind so much material that the publication has continued to grow for at least another dozen years. No other published sermons ever attained such IOWA STATE BYSTANDER Jonah's mission and voyage. His reason for doing this is because there have been critics who did "not hesitate to affirm that Nineveh, as well as Jonah, was a myth." Having proved the existence of both the sinful city and the prophet sent to preach repentance to its citizens, Professor Townsend leads one on to see how credible is the recital that on being thrown overboard "a great fish (dagh gadhol) was near the shark and selzed Jonah the moment he struck the water." He stresses the water "more simply a great fish, or more-monster" while the word "whale" is the translator's word, and he proceeds: "So far, therefore, as the Hebrew and Greek words are concerned, the highest criticism makes it perfectly clear that the fish that swallowed Jonah may have been a whale, a shark, a sea-sperm, a sea-lion, or any other large monster of the deep. And even if the skeptic insists in this discussion the threat should be used, still the need not suffice. For while it is true that the right whale has a throat sufficiently large to swallow a man without, the least difficulty. There is not a shipmaster or a sailor who has been on a whaling voyage who will question the following statement made by one of the crew of a New Bedford, Mass, whale-ship, that he, though a man of large, weighing 170 pounds, frequently had passed through the whale and throb he did this after the head of the whale had been cut off from the body, and when the faws and smallest part of the throat had been taken on deck." less to probably more great persons than almost any other American woman. This duty required remarkable tact and finesse.

Luxemburg, which is only a miniature state, possesses also a miniature army. It is composed of only four hundred men and is more ornamental than actually usef. But it is a part of the almost complete individuality of the state, which has its own parliament, government and stamps, though it belongs to the German customs union.

As to fagging, Prince Henry will soon learn that the czar, the kaiser, the sultan and the shah are but most humble individuals as compared to his seventeen-year-old fagmaster. Besides being at the beck and call of the czar fagmaster, his cousin for ordinary fagging, the prince will have his own special fagmaster, for whom he will be valet, butter and slave in one. He will have to prepare this great person's tea for him every day, toasting his toast—and, if it be burned, there is a cane.

WELL TO REMEMBER Easy Way to Keep Silver Bright—Use No Soap on Hardwood Floors —Several Handy Hints for the Housewife. To cure a felon, take common salt, as used for salting pork or beef, dry in the oven, pound fine, mix with equal parts of spits of turpentine, put in a cloth and wrap around the affected part. As it gets dry put on more. Twenty-four hours of this treatment will kill the felon. Soaking mildew stains in buttermilk or sour milk will many times remove them, but not always. Try a solution of one heaping teaspoonful of chloride of lime to a quart of soft water; strain, when well dissolved, and dip the mildew spots in it until the stains disappear, then rinse immediately and thoroughly in clear water. Silver will keep bright, and much laborious cleaning and polishing saved, if once a weak, it is immersed in sour milk and felt there for 20 minutes or longer. Wash it in very hot water and polish as quickly as possible. Soft pieces of old flannelette are excellent to use in wiping and polishing silver. Do not use soap on your hardwood floor; instead add half cup of borax to a pail of hot water, and rinse your mop well each time, and see how nice and white the floor will look. When any article of food burns and sticks to the saucepan or kettle while boiling, set the vessel once into a pan of cold water, while you get another kettle ready, thus preventing a scorched table. You will surely do this if the food is not too badly burned. Try having a bed of sweet Williams. Once started it will require little care, and will last for years, rewarding your trouble by a profusion of pretty flowers.

HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS Encourage the children to have a garden of their own. A saucer of charcoal placed in a refrigerator will help to keep it pure. Seorch marks on white fabrics may be removed by hanging articles in strong sunlight. Try browning flour for making graves, keeping a can of it on hand. It makes a nice brown gravy quickly. Pour boiling water over frozen eggs and let them remain until cold; they may then be used as if never frozen. Dig a root of horse radish now and fix it up a relish. You may shed a few tears over it, but they will be tears of joy. A few grains of rice in the salt cellar will prevent the salt caking, as they keep it loosened and moving whenaken. Try pouring scalding water on apples, as well as on tomatoes, peaches and similar fruit, letting them remain in it a few moments. The skins may be more easily removed and much labor saved. To remove ink stains, sprinkle with lemon juice and salt, let it remain until dry, and rinse. If the color of the goods is affected, sponge with weak ammonia in the treatment will absorb the fabric. The goods are apt to pucker when sewed on the machine. To overcome this difficulty put two thicknesses of tissue paper, or other soft paper, beneath the cloth and stitch through paper and all.

HIGH ONES SAFEST Delicate Instruments Record Lateral and Vertical Vibrations—Evidence of Selamograph and Trepadometer Used in Suits for Damages. The towering skyscrapers, despite their massive appearance, are rarely absolutely at rest. An almost continuous series of vibrations passes over New York's massive skyline, says the Sun of that city. The rush of street traffic, the action of engines and elevators, the tricks of wind pressure are constantly setting up wave motions throughout the great structure of steel and masonry. The fact that the wind pressure is within certain limits, elastic, is of course an assurance of their safety. Accidents from too much vibration are practically unheard of. The problem of the vibrations is perhaps nowhere so complicated as in downtown New York. Here are grouped, of course, the greatest collection of skyscrapers to be found anywhere in the world. The constant passing of subway trains at the very base of the buildings causes vibrations in every direction. The elevated railroads and the surface cars cause still other vibrations. In every office building again will be found considerable machinery for running the elevators and performing other work. This is usually located in the lower basements at the roots of the foundation and to the extreme height of the structure. The wind pressure is another important factor. In order to know exactly how a building is affected by these vibrations several extremely delicate instruments have been invented. They are adaptations of the familiar seismograph used to record earthquake, although less complicated and sensitive. The common form, the seismograph, is used to measure lateral vibrations. Another machine, the trepadometer, measures the vertical vibrations. The general principle of the apparatus in both cases is very simple. The seismograph consists of a metal table supported by screws so curved that the screws may be placed in an arbitrarily horizontal position. On this table rests a sheet of heavy steel on four steel balls, which are perfectly spherical. Above the glass plate is an adjustable needle which passes back and forth along a sliding bar. A piece of smoked paper is laid on the glass and the needle adjusted to touch the surface. And vibration of the building is taken up by the steel balls so that the glass on them remains absolutely stationary. The needle, however, vibrates exactly like the floor beneath it and scratches a fine, ragged line along the surface of the smoked paper. This line records the vibration of the building with scientific accuracy. In the trepadometer a heavy weight is suspended by a long vertical string so delicate that it responds to the slightest vibration. A long arm carrying a pen is attached to the lower section of the spring. A very slight vibration is magnified by the squares us, and the pen is placed on the arm in a regular line as the spring moves ever so slightly up or down. The pen is set above a sheet of paper which is moved by clockwork. The paper is placed about a drum which revolves once in 24 hours. The irregular line traced by the pen thus records the vibrations of the building for one day. The records of these instruments are used at times in court to decide damage cases in which the vibration of buildings figures. There may be great difference of opinion as to the damage done by the vibration, but the damage caused by the adometer are accepted as accurate. In a recent case suit was brought to recover damages alleged to have been caused by the vibration set up by machinery in operation. A number of printing presses, it was said, had caused such vibration that the walls were finally cracked. Several witnesses testified that the economy was contradictory. The readings of the apparatus told the true story, however, and the damages were awarded on this evidence. The most violent vibrations are not found in the highest buildings, as might be imagined, but often in structures three or four stories high of old construction. Such buildings are are of solid masonry, and therefore have little elasticity, and cannot take up the wave motion. When heavy machinery, such as printing presses, for instance, is set in such a building, the jar will be very perceptible on every floor. The structure of the modern masonry as interior façade is entirely flexible. In a brick or stone is merely a brick or stone upon a great steel structure. The steel riveted together is more or less elastic. A building of say 40 stories could vibrate like a giant tuning fork, could even crack and loosen the brink and masonry, and yet not in danger of being injured. The vibrations in a building may be shown with a spoonful of water in a small dish. A glass dish is better for the purpose, a watch crystal is just the thing. Let this be set in any building in the busy, crowded parts of the city and you will find a frequent vibration. The test may be made more delicate by placing a few drops of mercury in the receptacle. You will find that the surface of the liquid is constantly vexed by minute waves. Qualities of the Diplomat "What is a diplomat?"

It Looks Easy, but It Requires Special Methods—Two Recipes from England, Where Coal and Not Wood is Customary Fuel. When the first chilly days of autumn come, the open fire claims most of the affection and attention of the household. For nothing is so cheerful, so comfortable and so beautiful to look upon as a fire of logs cracking or the hearth, or of glowing coals burning in a grate. There are some women and some men, as well, who think they do not know how to light a fire; so, if they want to be warm or want to cheerful or want to watch the cracking fire, they need must wait for some more skillful than they to build it. Doubles are there some persons who cannot build a fire, just as there are some who cannot make geranium grow and some others whose cake always falls in the baking. But most persons, if they will take the trouble to learn a thing or so about the chili, and about the fires in fire in general, will find themselves able to master the art of fire making. Every one knows, of course, that a draft is one of the first essentials for a good fire, dry fuel is another. So see to it that you have them both at hand. Even a poor chimney can be made to harbor a good fire. If its drawing powers are not good, cuddle and coax the fire past the smoking stage. Don't burn an all wood fire, but establish a bed of coals and rest assured that the poor draft will prove sufficiently strong to carry off the coal gas and the little smoke that the coals give off. Often even a good chimney smoker when the fire is first built, because the chimney is cold and damp. If you are sure that there is a substantial layer of fireproof construction between the chimney and any framework about the house, light a crumpled sheet of newspaper and thrust it as far up the chimney as you can reach. Light half a dozen of these in succession and you will have the chimney warm enough to start a smokeless fire. On a damp day this same newspaper warming process might be used to advantage, as much moisture and dampness collect in the chimney in fogs and rains. There must always be room for air to circulate under and behind the fire. If you have and/or your task is simulating a place the logs so that room is left clear, you can circulate; the androids turn high enough to let the air circulate under them. If there are no androids and no coal basket—a very good fire of logs can be built in a coal basket—lay two stout sticks like androids and build the fire on these. Have plenty of kindling — paper, shavings, exorcelier, dry sticks, pike knots or chips—and let this get lighted before you pile on logs or coal. Here is an English recipe for lightening a coal fire—and the English who use coal to the exclusion of wood should be authorities on the sublust. Put some cinders in the bottom of the grate. These insure circulation of air, for they are porous and do cake down. Put a pike knot on a newspaper, crumpled loosely and lay ten sticks of dry wood on the paper. Put the fire will back in the grate, but allow room behind it for circulation of air. When it is crackling, put on a shovelful of coal, and repeat this process until the grate is sufficiently filled with fire. Another English method of fire lighting is to light the fire from the top and let it burn downward—which at first sounds something like scooping up water with a sieve. This is how it is done: Put a layer of cliders in the bottom of the grate and cover these with a good bed of coal. Then lay dry sticks—a dozen or so loosely, the coals. Put on a shovelful of coal and then put half a dozen sheets of crumpled paper on top. Light the paper and watch the fire burn downward.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS This is the story of a negro youth who came to New York not so long ago penniless, alone and friendless, and who has advanced himself from the occupation of sign painter until he has become a painter of landscapes and other pictures. His work has been exhibited in a Fifth avenue art gallery and some of his pictures have been taken by Jacob Helfl the artist, and by art connoisseurs from Europe. Incidentally he has been taken up by New York painters of note, among them members of the National academy. Richard Londale Brown is the name of this negro artist, and he is twenty-one years old. Grandson of a slave and son of a black man who is a brick layer and tile layer by turns, he was born in Indiana, but when a child was taken by his parents to West Virginia. There he lived until he came to New York. He was a landscape painting until he came to Manhattan to seek an education as an artist. He told his story the other day in his studio in Harlem. "I was a little less than a year old when my parents took me to Parkersburg, W. Va., from my birthplace, Evansville, Ind., where my father had worked at his trade of the layer," he said. "When I was old enough I went to public school and when ten years of school had ended, I moved to Pittsburgh. Later we went to Charleston, W. Va., where I entered a trade school and worked to become a sign painter. "I remained five years, and being then a journeyman sign painter I traveled through the mining districts of the state, working at my trade. My journeys took me almost altogether through the mountains—through those mountains where, when God made them, he placed scenery the equal of which I think, cannot be found in all series." "I had confidence in myself and knew I was worthy of better things than painting signs, but I needed the money for my daily living and so kept on doing that which brought me food and lodging, but whenever I could did landscapes as well as other subjects. I was determined that some of my paintings might have an opportunity to do something higher in the art scale than sign painting. "At last the day came when I decided to make the plunge. I left West Virginia with a small trunk and my paintings and came to New York. I rented a cheap room and the day after my arrival started out to sell some of my paintings, for my money was nearly all gone. Knowing that the art gallery were in Fifth Avenue I went there." "Things are better with me now than, but as I look back I can recall the chill which seized me as I entered several art shops with three or four of my landscapes under my arm I was greeted with a cold stare and an inquiring look. Instinctively I felt the men in the shops were asking them, "What does this negro want here?" I braced myself and said, "My name is Brown. I have some paintings to say." "What Brown? I never heard of you," was the reply. "No, we're not buying pictures today, Brown," and the man smiled and turned his back. "I walked for days up and down the street, visiting art stores in my desperate anxiety to sell some pictures whereby I might get food and pay my room rent, but it was the same story That the colored youths of the District are given greater opportunity for education than anywhere else in the world, was the declaration of President Henry P. Blair of the Washington board of education, at a meeting of the colored teachers of the public schools. The meeting was held at the M Street High school. In addition to President Blair, the following other members of the District addressed the meeting: Former President of the board of Education Capt. James F. Oyster, R. C. Bruce, assistant superintendent in charge of the colored public schools; Mrs. Carolina W. Harris, Dr. Charles H. Marshall and Dr. Creed W. Childs. President Blair declared that with the facilities offered them the colored youth of Washington should "give a good account of themselves. He assured the teachers that the policy of equal facilities for white and colored children would be continued. Captain Oyster reminded the teachers and officials that they always would find him ready to serve them.

No one seemed to take me seriously. Indeed, in some places I could see they thought I had perhaps stolen the pictures and was trying to dispose of them.

Often I visited the local Museum of Art here a painting called 'In the Garden,' done by George do Forest Brush, who painted 'Silence Broken,' 'Mourning Her Brave,' and 'The Sculptor and the King,' the subjects for which he found when he was visiting New Mexico, and also the Swan, which was in the collection of the late Stanford White. "I began to think that perhaps I was without actual talent for painting and that I had overestimated my ability, and that this was why the art dealers of Fifth avenue would not give my work consideration. Desperate and with hope nearly gone, I determined to see Mr. Brush and ask him to look at my pictures and give me an honest look. I was told that I called at his studio in Macdugal alley, near Washington square, and told him my story. "He asked to see my work. When I showed it to him he told me I did have talent, but that I needed directing. He promised to help me, and he did. What I owe him in gratitude I can never repay. I went to Keene, N. H., near which place Mr. Brush had his summer home and studio. I studied under him and, by his guidance, my work improved. I came back to New York and entered the American Academy of Design. "Meanwhile I kept up my studio work. I offered a number of my paintings to an art dealer in Fifth avenue, near Thirty-second street, for exhibition purposes. They remained on exhibition for several weeks. There one of them I called 'Mount Monadnock, N. H.' was seen by Mr. Jacob H. Schiff who bought it. Last winter short address in an art gallery of Amsterdam, Holland, who was visiting New York, bought another, which I named 'A Bend in the Stream.' I hope to go to Paris to study next year. "May I say without being thought guilty of egotism or a desire to boast, which is far from my intention, that I think that what I have accomplished and what has been accomplished by other negroes in other lines gives proof that the negro is capable of worthy things, and that the conception of many white persons that the negro is capable of doing and such other work as does not call for much mental effort is not only unfair but incorrect? "After a people have been held down for centuries, as we have been, is it to be expected that we should in only fifty years of freedom equal, or even approach the white race in every particular? Many persons, even today, gain their ideas of the negro from story books, while it is a fact that many educated persons who have not had the opportunity to know the negro at close range still regard him as but little more removed from the position in society he occupied while a slave. "Meanwhile, the sensible, honest-minded negro everywhere throughout the United States is endearing to do the work God gave him to the best of his ability and understanding, confident that in time God will set all things right."—New York Sun. The colored people in the south are better off financially than the colored people of the north, according to Dr. Simon P. W.

LITTLE HELPS IN HOME LIFE Aunt Emily Gives Three Household Hints to Housewives in order to fit to *Housewife* By Aunt Emily A shelf back of the kitchen table on which to place cups, spoons and small vessels that are used frequently, the wash basin, within reach of the roller towel, a drinking cup near the water pail, all save needless exertion and time that may be utilized for something else or rest. The very best stove holder can be made of an old stocking by cutting off the foot at the ankle and folding it into the leg, fastening it well as it is folded over and over until it is the square shape of the common ironing holder. A brass ring in one corner is a great inconvenience for hanging such a tool. It is standard. In the sewing room, pattern should have their place of quick and easy access and if each one is marked it will often prove a blessing. A bag fastened on the lower part of the sewing machine for scraps will likewise be a comfort, and sharp scissors and a work table are absolute necessities. Maple Waffles. Beat the yolks of two eggs, add a teaspoonful of salt, one-fourth cup of maple sugar and one cup of sour milk, into which has been placed a pinch of oil, stir it in two and a half cups of flour and stir it in until it is perfectly smooth, then add a tablespoonful of melted butter. The well-brown whites of the two eggs should now be stirred in, and last of all two and a half teaspoonful of baking powder, beat the whole thoroughly. Billing the hot waffle irons about two-thirds of the batter should be too thick use a little water for thining. Short Cake. Four cupfuls of flour, three tablespoonfuls butter or lard mixed, three teaspoonfuls baking powder, one teaspoon salt. Sift the flour with baking powder and salt, rub in the butter, add enough milk to make a soft dough, just soft enough to handle. Divide in half, roll or pat out one-half inch thick to size of pie plates. Brush first layer with melted butter and lay in baking dish. Pour over hot oven; separate without cutting. Pick, wash and drainberries, spread between layers of shortcake, sweeten to taste. Serve with cream. Veal Leaf, Tomato Sauce Chop two pounds of lean veal, put it into a basin and add a quarter of a pound of chopped salt pork; then add well beaten, eggs, two teaspoonfuls of lemon juice, one teaspoonful of onion juice, one teaspoonful of salt and a few grains of red pepper. Moisten well with veal stock and press into a buttered pan. Cover and bake for one hour. Baste frequently during the baking. Turn out and serve with tomato sauce. Glazed Chintz Shades In the country cottage glazed chinis is taking the place of plain shades. Made to fit the window and run on an ordinary roller, these shades are most attractive, the light fitting through which the glaze is visible. The chinis patterns. Over these the white drapes are hung straight or draped back. Hay Tea for Coloring When it is desired to preserve the cream shade in any article that is originally cream color and is likely to wash out white, dip in hair, tea, after rinsing. The same color as cream. The bright hay by rolling in two gallons of water for 20 minutes. Strain, and add a pinch of powdered alum. Custard Onions Cook the young onions after peeling them.

THE BURGLAR It was a dark evening in November. The street was deserted. A dark figure sneaked through the park surrounding the cottage and climbed into a tree and from there it looked into a room on the first floor through the open window. A young man was sitting at a desk covered with books and papers leaning back in his chair lost in thought. Suddenly he set up, opened a drawer and a谜器. He looked at it a moment and then pressed it against his temple. At the same moment the man in the tree jumped into the room through the open window. The young man turned to him. "What do you want?" "My name is Hock and I am a burglar. I am rather new in my profession, so I could not help making a noise when I came." The young man stared at him in silence. Then he said: "You need four hours to spare. Sit down and let us have a talk. You don't look like an ordinary burglar. Help yourself to a cigar and tell me what brought you here." Hock shrugged his shoulders. He's "maragged this abolition" of any interest to you. Horr. Haller." Lost His Fortune. "By a more accident. But what can I tell you about myself? I was once rich, but I began to gamble and lost my whole fortune. For a while I made a living as an actor, but then I sank lower and lower, until today, when I, for the first time, made up my mind to steal. You seem to have chosen the more honorable evil of committing suicide." "I do not know whether it is more honorable or not," said the young man. "imagine that you are in love. Your sweetheart is beautiful and in every way far too good for you. You have begun to gamble. You sit at the gambling table every night and you always lose. Your fortune is gone, you get into debt, which you see no way paying for it. You do but you miserable life?" Haller had barely finished talking when there was a knock at the door and a tall, broad-souldered man entered. "Good evening," he said, shaking Heller's hall way. "I saw there was a light here and thought I would give you revenge for last night. I beg your pardon," he said, turning to Hock, "my name is Kerzen." "It is a pleasure to meet you," said Hock, and there came an etrange gleam into his eyes. Heller stood lost, the eyes of the crowd flashing. "All right, I still have two hours and may as well use them playing poker as any other way." Kerzen produced a deck of cards from his pocket and the play began. Haller lost continually, and several of his I. O. U.'s found their way into Kerzen's pocket. Suddenly Hock tore the card out of Kerzen's hand, held the revolver which he had taken from the desk close to Kerzen's head and said: "I'm playing false." Kerzen jumped up, but a pressure of the cold muzzle and a contemptuous command from Hock's lips held him motionless in his seat. Markedi Cards "Will you please examine the cards, Mr. Hailer?" Haller took the cards and examined them carefully. "They are all marked," he said at last. "What do you say to that, Herr Kerzen? asked Hock. "Rather an unfortunate coincidence, eh! Look at me! Perhaps you recognize an old acquaintance. Ten years ago under another name you robbed me of my whole fortune. Today you have played your last game of cards. You have won Herr Haller's whole fortune, I hear. Now make out a check for the whole amount, or Herr Haller will ring up the police. There are plenty of proofs." Kerzen glared at him. Then he slowly took out his check book and fountain pen, made out the check and was permitted to go. "Too late! Too late!" grenaded Haller as the door had closed behind the gambier. He looked at his wah, which showed two o'clock. "I am very grateful to you, Herr Hock, but it is of no use any more. If this had only happened last night. Now it is too late. She has come home from the ball and has read my letter. If I don't show myself now she will think I am a coward. "You need not despair," said Hock. "You are still alive and there is no harm done. Perhaps she has not yet received your letter." Haller shrugged his shoulders. "Then you compel me to tell what I would rather have kept to myself. I made my debut as a burglar in the home of your sweetheart. I had barely entered the apartment when I heard steps. I hid myself, a saw a servant and lay a letter on the desk. I had never before opened another person's letter, but a strange power entered me. I gave my name Kerzien, and as I read the letter through I knew that every moment was precious. The rest you know. Here is your letter." Haller took the letter and tore it to pieces. His face beamed with happiness as he took Hock's hand and shook it—Chicago American. Helpful Hints. "These magazines are so helpful." "What's the latest?" "In the house the hints they tell you to make the lovely sargazette bomb out of an old tomato can." Ghouliah Gles "From this time on," said he, when the only woman who had ever rejected him passed from his sight, "from this time mine shall be the delight to be a shoe salesman, and instead of selling them one size too small, with my persuasive manner I shall make them buy them smaller still. Ha, ha!" Truth is Power. Truth, and, by consequence, liberty, will always be the chief power of honest men—Mine. De Steal. OLD AGE AND DIET Physician Writes Instructively on the Subject. After Fifty, the Amount of Food Needsary Grows Less With the Years, and Appetite Must Be Curbed. There is a marked difference between the dietetic necessities in old age and those earlier in life. It is because many do not know this fact that they die too early, and often suffer side deuces. Most of the sudden deaths you read about, following a hearty meal, in persons of fifty or more are entirely unnecessary. In the first place, after a certain age is reached, which varies with different persons, but is passed by most of them as early as fifty, the necessary amount of food gets gradually less all the time. Now, the appetite may, not get any less, indeed, may even increase; and the result is trouble sooner or later. A person at the age of eighty, for example, does not need more than half as much food as was needed at forty. The actual amount of food needed in old age varies with different persons just as it does at any age. Women need less than men; those who hard work need more than those who do work, more is needed in winter than more is needed so on; but the total amount needed in old age is always less than that for younger persons even if the other conditions are the same. In old age the powers of digestion and assimilation are much less than they were when the person was younger. Growth has ceased, so that there is less call for new building material. As a rule, much less work is done, so that there is less call for food which creates energy. It follows, then, that it is not merely some of the food elements but all of them, that need reduction when this period of life is reached. Another point of great importance is the fact that excretion is less active in old age. This means that, while a young person may with safety eat a great deal more than is necessary, an old person cannot do so. In the young organs of excretion are strong and active, and will take care of the excess of food eaten. In old age they cannot do this; and the result of overeating is always suffering and not infrequently sudden death, ascribed to acute indigestion, but really due fully in doing so by one bulbred, writes that in old his age he lived on only twelve ounces of solid food a day, bread, broth, eggs and meat. Diet in old age, then, should be relatively small in quantity, should be easy of digestion, and should not contain a large amount of waste, that is indigestible material. It should not be too complicated, with pastry or rich made dishes. It goes without saying that no old person should attempt to take up a diet fad. His system will not respond to the changed demanded, and this is regardless of how good the ideas in such a fad may be for younger persons.—Ernest F. Robinson, M. D. AMERICAN CARS FOR EUROPE Fifty Thousand of Them Will Be Exported in 1914, According to an Expert's Predictions. John L. Poole, an export manager of the Hupp Motor Car company, makes the prediction that the United States will have 80,000 motor driven vehicles in 1914. The entire output of this country was only 55,009 cars in 1908. "The figures I have used are not wild guesses," said Mr. Poole. "There were 25,286 motor-driven vehicles exported from this country last year, for a total value of $26,093. The greatest growth in the last five years, but the greatest increase has been in the last two years." Probably He Got It A traveler in London was set upon by an importunate Irish beggar, a shiffless-looking fellow, but with the bairney-wagging tongue of one gifted. The beggar followed the traveler mouthing sweet nothings and lies, "An sure, your rivière, it wasn't that I was ever like this," he said. "It's often I've heard me mother say that we was noble by rights, and that one of the family once wore a crown of Ireland, sir." "Well, what do you want? asked the traveler. "Would you have the crown back? I can't give it to you." The Irishman sided a bit closer. "Half a crown d'id, do sir." He Plaused Him. The catcher was having an argument with the umpire. "I'll fix you so you won't be an epidemic any longer!" threatened the umpire, beginning to lose his temper. "What do you mean, I won't be an epidemic any longer?" asked the catcher.

"Could any wife sit and hear her husband talk for two hours without interrupting him?" To Polish Windows. There is no need to trouble about water and soap when cleaning a window. The easier way is to crush up a newspaper, dip it lightly in paraffin, and use as a polisher. The paraffin removes all dirt and stains very quickly, and the paper gives a splendid shine to the glass, which not only lasts a long time, but keeps files from setting. Hard Lines.

The habitual con- ‘sumption of more food than is neces- sary for these purposes is the prime cause of stomach troubles, rheuma- tism and disorders of the kidneys. If troubled with indigestion, revise your diet, let reason and rot appe- tite control and take a few doses of Chamberlain's Tablets and you will soon be all right again. For sale by ‘all dealers.
