In this great growing city, where we have more than 5,000 Afro-Americans, with their five churches and two missions, with their six restaurants and one manufacturing plant., one blacksmith shop, eight barber shops, two pool halls, one grocery store, two pantatoriums. Leaving the West Side, I want to make a few observations on East Des Moines. Fortunately or unfortunately our city of Des Moines is divided by the Des Moines river, and this demarkation still exists even though we have been trying to eliminate this separation. The railroads maintain an East Side and a West Side depot, and consequently the people are known as East or West Siders. But within the past five years this dividing line is about faded away by our Des Moines commission plan of municipal government. Mr. R. Smith and Mr. Owen on East Locust are hustling young married men. Mr. Benj. J. Hack is still working at the same building, superintendent of the Iowa Trust and Savings bank building. He owns a nice home on Penn avenue. He is one of the rising young men. Jefferson Logan, who is perhaps the wealthiest colored man in Des Moines, lives at 1332 Lyon street. He is one of the oldest and most highly esteemed men and is well known throughout Iowa, as he has worked in the Iowa legislature for the past twenty years or more. Vivian L. Jones, the only colored undertaker in Iowa, is located at 519 Court avenue. He has most all the trade of the colored people. He is a good business man and a hustler. His amiable wife is quite a helpmate to him. His father, G. H. Jones, formerly of Oskaloosa, is here and assisting a few years while resting up from his old trade of barbering. Mr. W. A. Thyrous, 320 East Court, is running a restaurant. He has been in business for the past ten years and is doing well. He is a true race man. Mr. C. A. Dorsey is still here. He has the rheumatism, which cripples him. Mrs. M. A. Alexander, formerly Mrs. Anderson Monroe, resubscribed for The Bystander. She says that she was one of the first subscribers to The Bystander nearly twenty years ago. She has some copies that are eighteen years old. Mrs. Bell has recently moved here from Quincy, Ill. Mr. Geo Taylor, 706 S. E. Seventh street, is a pioneer citizen here. He like Jeff Logan, can number about one-half century here. He is now blind. He served in the Spanish-American war. Mr. Newton Orange, another old citizen, is almost blind, although he owns several lots and raises hogs. Mr. Al Moss is also another old settler here. He owns a nice home. He is a good citizen. Mr. J. W. Heath owns several lots here. He is a hustler. Arriving at the Des Moines Packing House, I took dinner at the restaurant in this building. This restaurant is run by our old time friend, S. C. Thompson, and he knows how to cook, or either I was so hungry that I enjoyed the meal. Our real packing house meat, his pumpkin and apple pie were delicious. Mr. Thompson owns a nice home and several other lots. His good wife assisted him in his restaurant. His oldest son has just returned from South Dakota, where he spent the summer on his brother's farm. Next week we will finish this section of our city. Sick Headache. This distressing disease results from a disordered condition of the stomach, and can be cured by taking Chamberlain's Tablets. For sale by all dealers.

Fifteen Winners of Tomato Raising and Canning Contests in Southern States to Be Rewarded by a Trip to Washington. Washington—Fifteen girls, one from each of fifteen southern states, are soon to be given a trip to Washington as a reward for their splendid work in connection with the girls' canning clubs which are conducted under the auspices of the United States department of agriculture. These fifteen girls are the state winners in the various contests that have been carried on and are the pick of about 25,000 girls who are enrolled in the canning clubs. The canning club work was begun three or four years ago by the bureau of plant industry in co-operation with various private agencies. Prizes have been given before, but never have the winners been sent in a body to Washington, although the state winners in the boys' corn clubs have been rewarded in this manner. The moment of agriculture considered that the show ripe for the prize gris to have a similar trip. The selection of the winner is made differently in different states. In Georgia, for instance, the prize will be awarded by the Atlanta chamber of commerce at the Atlanta Corn show. In some cases a women's club or an individual or a board of education give the prize. A great number of public-spirited people are encouraging the growth of the canning club due to the success of the club's tries will all be paid for through the generosity of private agencies or individuals. While the department of agriculture does not supply the funds for the trips which the young women will make, it has arranged that the women agents of the canning clubs shall be summoned to Washington for an official conference at the same time that the girls are to visit the capital. They will, therefore, be called upon to attend the conference, and in respective states and will be in charge of them during their visit. The eleventh of December is the date on which this conference is now expected to be called and on which the girls will probably arrive. They will come for a stay of four or five days. In order to determine which girls are to be chosen, a choice first is made of the best girl in each county, on the basis of notes, reports, and exhibits of the competitors. A state contest is held in them, and the various competitions compete. This is frequently held in connection with a state fair. Each girl of the 25,000 girls enrolled in the canning clubs is supposed to have carried out a definite project in gardening on a tenth-apot. plot. The girls have raised tomatoes principally, but frequently they plant strawberries. In certain regions figs are preserved; in others grape juice is made. The raising of the vegetables or fruits is but one feature of the work. When the family has been supplied with fresh products and then the local market, the girls are expected to can the surplus. This is for home use and for the sale of the fruits and corn are frequently put up as side lines in the canning. Miss Bessie Starkey, the Virginia girl who had the best record last year of all the states, as far as yield obtained,拿了 528 pounds of tomatoes in one season from her ten-acre plot. Many girls have made a profit of over $100 from their one-tenth of an acre in one season. Some of these have even failed to win first prize as there might be more than one in a single state able to attain this result. This year even better results are expected as there are many more girls enrolled and the competition is, therefore, keener. The good results from the girls' canning clubs have not been restricted to individual stores that have been assembled. Apart from this thousands of homes have had home-grown canned vegetables through the winter months when they would otherwise have been without them. The profits have like-wise enabled the girls to help get an education. A young Mississippi girl has made enough to start in the state normal school and has continued working her way through that institution by growing and canning tomatoes in her vacation. She is now beginning her second year. She has become a recognized canning expert in that community and has been put in charge of a club of girls in the state school who are going into the work of canning tomatoes to help pay their expenses. This is but one case among many of those who have been able to use the income from their canning work to great advantage. The funds which the department of agriculture expends on the girls' canning club work goes strictly for instruction and organization. Even then the department does not supply all the funds, but works in co-operation with the various agencies that happen to be interested in the project for their individual districts. Thus the department may co-operate with a college of agriculture, with a state department of agriculture, with a board of education, or with a local chamber of commerce. The work was originally first started in the southern states, but so great has been its success that it There was a young man very vals of his accomplishments as a presacher, who, after officiating at a certain service for a Scottish minister who occasionally had to avail himself of the assistance of probationers, was met by the old gentleman with extended hands as he descended from the pulpit. Expecting high praise, he said: "No compliments, I pray." "Nay, my young friend," said the parson, "nowadays I'm glad o' any has been extended to the northern states as well, and similarly satisfactory results are hoped for throughout the country. It is to stimulate a more widespread interest in the proposition that the present project of having the winning girls visit the capital at one time was decided upon. Beauless, it was considered that if the corn club boys were given these yearly visits to Washington, something was due to the canning club girls. The organizations are closely allied and work along together in the same districts, often being administered by the president to Washington have aroused much general interest; they have received diplomas from the secretary of agriculture, have shaken hands with the president, and have been shown the sights. The girls are expected to receive similar attentions during their stay in the capital. From the girls' standpoint the main interest in the visit will be the liberal education they will receive from the experience, but from the broader standpoint the increased interest throughout the states will more than compensate for the outlay made. While this is the first visit of the girls in a body to Washington, one girl made the trip last year when the corn club boys were sent. She was the winner in a canning club contest in an Arkansas county and the county presented her with the trip, which she undertook with the department's official county agent as chaperon. ELECTRICAL APPARATUS AND SUPPLIES. Statistics of the electrical machinery, apparatus and supplies industry in the United States for 1909 are presented in detail in a bulletin soon to be issued by Director Harris of the bureau of the census, department of commerce. It was prepared under the supervision of W. M. Stewart, chief statistician for manufactures. This industry includes the manufacture of the machines and appliances used in the generation, transmission and utilization of electric energy, together with most of the parts, accessories and supplies for them. It does not include, however, the production of iron or steel; nor does it include the manufacture of glass and porcelain ware made expressly for electrical purposes, that of bare iron and copper wire, or any of the materials of electrochemical and electrometallurgical products. The total number of establishments in the United States in 1995 engaged in the manufacture of electrical machinery, apparatus and supplies was 1,009. The total number of persons engaged in the industry was 10,600, the total number of employees 102,960. The total capital employed was $267,844,432, and the total value of products was $221,306,563. The industry in 1999 was largely centralized in the six states of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Illinois and Ohio. These states together reported 83.9 per cent of the total average number of wage workers employed in the total value of products, and 83.1 per cent of the total value added by manufacture. SEEKS GENUINE GREENHEART. Clayton D. Mell of the U. S. forest service sailed the other day from New York for British Guiana to inspect greenheart timber to be used in the construction of docks and other marine works for the Panama canal. He goes at the request of the isthmian canal commission, in order that the engineers may be sure that they are getting genuine greenheart timber, for which a number of inferior substitutes are offered. Genuine greenheart has the reputation of being the most resistant wood to the attack of marine borers and to decay. Borers are especially bad in tropical waters. The wood is, in addition, hard, heavy and durable, and not subject to damage from impact and wear. Indisputable records show that the best grades of this wood surpass iron and steel as to lasting qualities in contact with salt water. It has been known and used since 1769. Logs have remained intact under water for one hundred years, and the only limit of their durability so far has been the length of the log, which is often broken, which usually can be renewed without much trouble. Greenheart in Liverpool lock gates, built in 1856, removed to allow a deepening and widening of the ship channel in 1894, was used over again when the gates were reconstructed. The sills and fenders of the lock gates at Panama will be made of greenheart, and much of the docks will be constructed of the same material. SAFETY AT SEA. Secretary of Commerce Redfield's committee on hulls and bulkheads, to prepare recommendations for the use of the American delegation to the international conference on Safety at Sea, to be held in London, November 12, has made its report. The committee emphasises the fact that the department is concerned many of the important questions could only be obtained through careful and exhaustive research by a body of experts having at their command ample resources to prosecute their investigations to a satisfactory conclusion. Such a body of experts under the jurisdiction of the department of commerce was recommended by the committee, it being pointed out that it would assist in the execution of rules already established and to encourage improvements in ship construction, and to increase the safety of passengers and crew.

HUSEIN, WIFE OF TURKISH DIPLOMAT MRS. HOUSTON, YOUNGEST OF CABINET WOMEN MRS. HOUSTON, YOUNGEST OF CABINET WOMEN SENATOR'S VIEW OF CLASSICAL EDUCATION The name of Mme. Hussein, wife of Abdul Hak Husein Beey, first sec sein Bey, first secretary of the Turkish embassy at Washington, suggests a darkened, glassed heroesine of The Arabian Nights or a member of the mythical kingdom of the fascinating Haroun Al Rashid. But in reality the pretty woman who sat in American living room the other day answering the questions of the "newspaper per- lash embassy at Washington, suggests a dark browed, fashing eyed heroin of The Arabian Nights or a member of the mythical kingdom of the fascinating Haroun Al Raschid. But in reality the pretty woman who sat in her typical American living room the other day answering the questions of a "newspaper son" suggests the athletic, vivacious English woman. She is tall and gracefully erect, just slender enough to be fashionable, and not too plump to long to "reduce." Her soft brown hair parts loosely over a clear white brow. Her eyes are long-lashed and expressive, and when she smiles her parted lips show even white teeth. Her gown was thoroughly modern and American. It was merely a white shirtwaist and skirt, with a lace crust at the throat and a soft, green cricket tie loosely about the waist. "Yes, I was born in England," said Mme. Hussein, in response to the interviewer's suggestion, "and it was in England that I met my husband. He was in school there and it was while his father was secretary and counselor of the Turkish embassy in London that we became acquainted. You want to know about myself. Oh? I am not interesting, not at all. I am not a suffragist. My real hobby, if I have any, is horses. I am so anxious to see what happens to a better moment of horses in Boston. It just makes me miserable to see how they are abused. As soon as my friends come back to town I am going to try to interest them in providing a shelter for old and sick horses, like the one on the outskirts of Boston. "I have heard that such a movement has been started many times. The plan has never been carried out, however. It seems to me that it is a matter that must not be delayed any longer. It seems that there should be enough wealthy women here to establish a shelter, she cared not too much for me. I am afraid, too domestic. I love to sew and keep house and read, incidentally, look after my little daughter. I sing and play just a little bit, but not enough to make any attempts in public." The interviewer here attempted to glean some memories of madame's experience in Turkey. "Why, my dear, I have never been in Turkey," the Englishwoman laughed. Madame is vivacious and quick-witted.

What a shame that I can't tell you. I've heard a great deal about my husband's countrywomen, however. And naturally I know many of the customs of the land. Hussein Boy, though he seldom goes back home, is quite familiar with the happenings in his own country." "Is your husband a member of the Progressive party of Young Turks?" "Well, I just won't say that he is not progressive," and Mme. Hussein smiled evasively, "but he is necessarily passive. A diplomat must be so. There is a feminist movement in Turkey, just as there is here, but somehow I don't think it will ever accomplish very much. In fact, my husband says that he does when the time when the women of the country will even go with their faces uncovered in public. It is not so much a custom of the country as it is a religion for a woman to be modest to this degree. "You know that a Turkish lady is never allowed to entertain any marriageable man. By that I mean that if she has a dinner party for her near relatives the only man guests must be those so closely connected that marriage with them would be impossible. Marriages are often by pauses. When a girl takes the vell and then she is old enough to marry." "At what age do you think your little girl should marry?" was asked. "Not under twenty-five," was the quick reply. "In fact, I believe that a woman isn't sure whom she wants until she is half way along in the thirties." Mme. Hussein explained that a Turk may marry a Christian, but a Turkish lady may not mary a Christian gentleman. And the distractions is that she is not going to take the religion of their father, and it is desirable to increase the number of faithful Mohammedans. It was time to leave and the interviewer gathered up her purse and parasol. A little sight escaped her. She had expected to greet madame in a dimly lighted apartment, carpeted in heavy oriental rugs and hung with faded old tapestries. She had imagined ornaments unusual in shape and color, deep-cushioned divans, incense burning fragrantly in darkly draped corners of the daring-room, soft-footed maid servants and a man servant in baggy trousers and loose blouse, with a tiny red fox hanging on the back of his head—all this to complete an atmosphere of Bagdad and old Turkey. But the big sunshiny room, the charming, charitable house, and this white chinchin awaying in the breeze hadn't a bit of mystery about it. "Not one Turkish thrill and no hint of the barem about the little mistress of this cozy apartment," mused the interviewer as she came out into the tree bordered street. "Queer, the difference between imagination and reality, isn't it?" a drive in the open, the tremendous responsibility of the official baby of the Wilson administration. "There is no joy like that of a round, rosy baby in the household," said Mrs. Hissey, his assistant, who rested essential demands from the nursery that dropped to the floors below with beautiful insolence. "And my children are so well and strong that they are an uninterrupted delight. Practically. I have two babies, because my daughter Helen is not quite three years old, but David Franklin, Jr., is very much grown up—he is fourteen years old. We have two babies. We enjoy tremendous joy!" Mrs. Houston possesses the unique charm of knowing such a lot about so many things without being aggressive, and charm of all charm! she doesn't dream but that all other people know the same things. She talks with equal ease about what is best for babies and the most vexing problems of sociology; she knows the ways and actions of the world and the galeens and cathedrals of Europe; she is familiar with the social and historical life of the capitals of Europe, and loves the keen, fresh air of the moors of Scotland. ject his course of study.

RECIPES THAT SAVE MONEY Writer Shows How Same Effect May Be Obtained Less Expen- What may be done in the way of economical cutting of recipes may be seen from the following: Coffee Cake (original recipe)—One and one-half cups of brown sugar, one cup of molasses, one egg, one-quarter pound of citrons, one teaspoon of soda, two pounds of raisins, one teaspoon of cloves, one-half cup of butter, one cup of strong coffee, two cups of fennel, one-quarter cup of cinnamon. This was changed to read as follows: One and one-half cups of brown sugar, one cup of strong coffee, one-half cup of butter (part butter and part lard), one cup of raisins, one teaspoon of cinnamon, one-half teaspoon of cloves, two teaspoons of baking powder, two heaping cups of flour. Baked in a loaf this cake, without eggs or milk, was delicious. A recipe for cornbread read like this: Two heaping cups of cormel, two tablespoons of sweet milk, one tablespoon of milk, two tablespoons of sugar, two teaspoons of baking powder, one teaspoon of salt, two eggs.

Novel Ice Cream Freezer An ice cream freezer has been brought out by an English firm, which, it is claimed, begins delivering a continuous supply of ice cream within thirty seconds after the turning process is begun. The operation is directly opposite to that of the ordinary freezer, the ice and brine being placed in the cylinder, and the cream in the case, so that the lower part of the cylinder is submerged in the cream stream to the cylinder as it revolves, and is scraped off and deposited in a receptacle by means of the small chute.

GREAT KING CORC IT IS NOT UTOPIN Owned World-Renowned Spring Near Famous Town. Sights to Be Seen Today by Pleasure Seekers in Lough Alongside Old Road to Kinsale Near One of Erin's Famous Cities. A little way beyond the gallows green of Cork, and just outside the town, there is a great lough of water, where people go a pleasuring. But the sport above the water is nothing to what is under it, for at the very bottom of this lough there are buildings and gardens far more beautiful than any now to be seen. And, says the Brooklyn Eagle, how they came there was in this manner: Long, long ago there was a great king called Cork, whose palace stood where the lough now is. It was in a round green valley that was just a mile about. In the middle of the courtyard was a spring of fair water, so pure and so clear that it was the wonder: of the world. The king thought a great deal of this spring that was such a curiosity within his palace. People came in crowds from far and near to draw the precious water, until at last the king feared that his wonderful spring might be so he had a high wall built around it, and he would allow nobody to have the water. This was a great loss to the poor people who lived round about. The king had an only daughter, and sometimes he used to give her the keep of the well, for he could never trust his servants to fetch him the precious water. One night the king gave a great feast, at which many princes and lords and nobles were present. Now there was present at the feast, among others, one young prince who was a princess. Right merrily did he dance with the king's daughter, and the musicians played the better for seeing their dancing. At supper this young prince eat next to the king's daughter, and she smiled upon him as often as he spoke to her. In the midst of the banquet one of the lords said to King Corc, "May it please your majesty, here is everything in abundance that the heart can wish for both to eat and drink, except water." "Water!" said the king, mightily pleased at some one calling for that which he had purposely left out. "Water you shall have, my lord," said he, and speedily. And it shall be of such a delicious kind that I shall sing to the Daughter he added, "go fetch some in the golden vessel which I caused to be made for the purpose." The king's daughter was called Flor Usga, which in English means spring water. She did not much like to be told to do such menial work as fetching water before so many grand people. But she dared not actually run around with the commands of her father. Still she hesitated, and looked down upon the ground. The king, who loved his daughter very much, seeing this, was sorry for what he had asked her to do. "Daughter," he said, "I do not wonder at your fearing to go alone so late at night. But I doubt not the young prince at your side will go with you." The prince was pleased at hearing this. Taking the golden vessel in one hand, with the other he led the king in the hall of the hall so gracefully that all the other princes and nobles gazed after them with admiration. When the two came to the spring of water in the courtyard of the palace, the Princess Usaun unlocked the door with great care. But as she stooped down with the golden vessel to take some of the water out of the well the vessel proved so heavy that the princess lost her balance and fell in. The young prince tried in vain to save her, but the imprisoned water so weak that the entire courtyard was speedily covered with it, and the prince hastened back, in great terror to the king. The door of the well being left open, the water which had been so long continued rejoiced at being free, and rushed forth in great volume, every moment rising higher, so that it was reached the hall of entertainment almost before the prince himself arrived. And by the time he had reached the king's side he was to his neck in water. It was but a very short time before the prince came to such height that it filled the entire green valley in which the king's palace stood, and so the present lodge of Corc was formed. Yet the king and his guests were not drowned. Neither was his daughter, the fair Usga, who returned to the banquet hall the very night after this dreadful event. And every night since the same entertainment and dance go on in the palace at the bottom of the lough, and they will last until some one has the pluck to bring out of it the golden vessel which was the cause of all the misery. Nobody can doubt that it was a judgment upon the king for shutting up the well in the courtyard from the poor people. If there are any who do not believe this story, they may go and see the lough of Corc, for there it is to be seen to this day. The road to Kinsale passes at one side of it. When the waters are low and clear the tops of towers and stately buildings may be plainly viewed in the bottom by those who have good eyesight, without the help of spectacles. Forced to Beg.

Government Agent Warns Young Men Who Want to Go South—Tells of Danger in Seeking Opportunities in Central America. The question as to the opportunities in Panama and Central and South America for the young man without capital is asked hundreds of times monthly, according to United States Commercial Agent Garrant Harris. It will be asked many times more now, as the Panama canal ends completion, Mr. Harris thinks, since many young men are figuring vaguely as going to one of the Central or South American republics, believing with pluck and energy they can win out of spite of all handicaps. "The impression seems to be," Mr. Harris, "that the government plans either to homestead the mile strip across the lesthmus or sell lease the land upon such terms as will attract immigrants, and that Panama government will deal place, where the government will allow a person to guarantee every man a livelihood, or at least an immediate cash market and not to notch prices for what he can produce. "The fact is there are no opportunities in any of the Central American republics for a man, either young or old, who lacks capital. To go there without ample resources usually means an ultimate call on the folks back home for help to get away, unless, of course, the person intended to take a tract of land and farm it. In her effort to improve his labor with him, for lack of what prevents the more rapid development of the entire region from Belize to Puerto Bello. "While, as a rule, land may be had cheaply in Central America, except on the canal zone, and settler effects may be brought in, free of day, the problem of clearing and putting the land in cultivation is a serious and calls for considerable money. Moreover, there must be a reserve to support the developer until his land produces something besides a weekly payroll." Mr. Harris says banana farming requires a tremendous outlay, for bananas grow best only in the tropical garden at practical sea level and a distance of about 100 miles. It moreover, a considerable outlay to clear the land, and a year or more before a cent of revenue may be expected. Longer time is required for coffee, which costs more to establish than bananas, and takes longer to come into bearing. "To get out mahogany, cedar, and other woods," continues Mr. Harris, "takes capital and equipment. To develop the mineral resources require money and lots of it. There is gold is most of the Central American countries, but generally it is not of the mills sorting. Very little place gold is found, and there must be mills and plains to extract it. Mills and plains lead, lead and other minerals requires smelters, equipment and much outlay. "The mercantile field is filled by new merchants and by Germans and others who speak the language perfectly, who have been long in the countries, and who are familiar with conditions and customs. There are more commission men and manufacturers' representatives than the amount of business would seem justified. There is no demand for the part of native houses for the part of native houses with interior arrangements for business connections before starting, and giving man is too likely to expect to see these countries expecting to find something to do. There are vastly more charges at home." With reference to the Panama canal zone, Mr. Harris says the average person does not realise how broken and hilly the land is, and how unsuitable to cultivation. "Except for quarters for the 2,000 or more operatives who will be needed in connection with the canal and the Panama railroad," continues Mr. Harris, "the canal zone will be a sort of military reservation. This is an extremely bad time to go to Panama looking for opportunities. The one of the work has been done on the canal and the canal commission now gradually cutting down forces and letting competent men who have served in clerical, operative, mechanical, and other capacities. If there is any chance for work in the republic of Pe There are no opportunities for the man without money, definite as special occupation.

While there he made a close study of the conditions of his race and has given out the following interview: "I am more impressed with the real need of practical and useful education than heretofore. I am also glad to say that the best people of both races are fully cognizant of these facts and are willing to relieve the conditions when they find the opportunities that guarantee the certainty of making the masses better. "I do not overdraw the picture when I say the greatest need of the negro masses in the south as well as other parts of the country is a useful education that teaches how to do something with the hands. "The leaders of my race, the heads of families, the teachers in the school room should be thoroughly apprised of these conditions and go about their work so that they may do something definite and helpful. "The country is taking on new life in almost every phase and nowhere more than in our own section. Why shouldn't we prepare the masses of the negro race for it? Those of us who in the slightest way attempt to impress our child-race from any other viewpoint either show that we do not understand or we try to be an adept at deception. "It was this state of things that has brought the Atlanta Normal and Industrial institute, a school for the training of the masses to do the everyday things of life, into existence. I have been more than surprised to note how willing the best and most prominent people of this city and section have been to encourage a school that makes for the best interests of our people. "The importance of a school like this in a community can hardly be overestimated. We would not by any means discourage or oppose those who espouse the cause of higher education by advocating the closing of the colleges in our midst, for they are doing a good and commendable work; but we do we say there ought to be tenfold more schools of this kind among our people at this stage of their advancement so that when the colleges are building and finishing the top story these practical schools may be kept busy with the masses at the bottom, helping the lay a foundation for good citizenship by training first of all their hands, teaching the boys how to use the saw and hammer, the trowel, the painter's brush, how to farm scientifically, etc., the girls, how to sew and cook and do housework and the like. "It is amazing how marry young women there are that have a high school and even a college education who could not prepare you a decent meal or wash and iron a decent shirt. Only the Recording Angel can tell the deaths that may be attributed to the frying pan and baking oven. A young man seeking a wife had better wed a young woman with ordinary education, but a splendid cook, a good seamstress and a good housekeeper in preference to one who could play skillfully upon the plano Chopin or Beethoven, discuss psychology and economics or quote readily from the literary author of the day. "The tendency of the age seems toward superficiality, sham and show. We give tenfold more thought to what Gutta percha, now obtained from the leaves of the couchauthe tree, is said to be more durable than that obtained by tapping the trunk and is coming into use in France for insulating submarine cables. By an ingenious arrangement of reflectors a 30-candle power incandescent lamp recently mounted on a lightship off the Virginia coast is made to give flashes of more than 100,000 candle power in certain directions. Resenting the assertion that Sydney, Australia, was the dirtiest town in the southern hemisphere, the lord mayor has organized a special force of a hundred police for the preservation of good order, cleanliness and neatness. Cotton was cultivated in Morocco and sold in England during the Civil war in the United States, and during the cotton crisis in 1871. After that period the demand failed and cultivation was dropped. Egypt, in 1912, imported goods valued at $128,062,035. The London General Omnibus company has undertaken to supply cars for a newly chartered company which plans to establish motor car service between the principal cities of England. A gelatine dynamite which gives off no poisonous fumes has been developed by the United States bureau of mines. W. W. Cottingham, superintendent of schools at Easton, Pa., has taught 60 years in that one position. Fat men are seldom meaner than thin ones, in spite of the fact that there is more of them to be mean. A pessimist is a person who expects nothing, and is disappointed if he doesn't get it. Rather than to see a man shot, almost any of us would prefer to see two men half shot. Lots of people are just bubbling over with enthusiasm, but unfortunately bubbles do not accomplish much. we would like to have than to properly preparing ourselves to earn the means whereby we may get it. We think far more of consuming than producing. We must change our plan of action, our point of view, and try to become a race of producers as well as consumers. To do this, then, along with the development of the mind must go the training of the hand. "The college-bred man must often sit and wait for something to 'turn up', some opening to be made, some position to be offered him. The man with a trade does not wait for something to 'turn up', but turns up some thing himself, and that, too, quickly. He is the most independent being upon the face of the globe. He waits for no man, he cringes to no man, and even dictates to men of wealth and power. Like the village blacksmith 'he looks the whole world in the face for he owes not any man.' North south, east or west, he is able to stand in his own shoes and curry favor with nobody. "Realizing all this, how important, then, is it that the principles of practical training for which this institute stands should be appreciated and maintained." Ante-bellum days were recalled at the "Mammies' Dinner" given to the "Ole Massahs" by the Ex-Slaves' association at Birmingham, Alabama. Five hundred uncles and aunties, all ex-slaves, were present. Some time ago the ex-slaves of Birmingham formed an association with 350 members. The organization will be extended over the south. An ex-slaves' home will be established near Birmingham. Plans are already under way for this institution, which will be unique in many respects. The home will be equipped with the old-time wheel, spinning wheel and carders. Plots, ovens and the ash-cake will take the place of modern cooking utensils and baker's bread. Only Negroes born before 1860 are eligible to membership in the Ex-Slaves' association. These only were present the "Mammies" Dinner." From all parts of the country the old men and women came to the "mammies" dinner. Among the guests were a number of former slave owners, and they joined heartily in the spirit of the function. The dinner was cooked in the same way as before the war. Barbecued meats, ash cakes, flapjacks, buttermilk, fried chicken and other ante-bellum dishes formed the menu. Speeches were made by former slave owners and responded to by former slaves. An old-time camp meeting service was held. Aged, bent and silver-haired ex-slave preachers shouted and exorted the listeners to keep away from the wiles of the devil or be doomed to eternal fire and brimstone, and old-time scenes were reproduced in detail. Old masters and their slaves were reunited after many years of separation. Some embraced in the joy of meeting again. An incident of the day was the meeting of Marshall Light, aged seventy-one, and Alfred Avery, aged seventy, ex-slaves, who, though cousins and living in Birmingham more than thirty years, had never met. The aged Negroes sang and danced in celebration of the event. Andrew Beard, who was born a slave on an Alabama plantation, has won fame as an inventor. He sold a coupler to one of the railroads for $50,000. It has been conjectured that excessive atmospheric precipitation might be responsible for earthquakes by increasing the supply of subterranean water, leading to a washing away and collapse of the earth's crust; but it may not be so. A Japanese company has planted 200,000 pearl oysters in a bay in that country, and believes it will harbest millions of pearls through a recently invented process for impregnating the mollusks. During the first four months of 1913 there were slaughtered in La Frigorifica Uruguaya and the Frigorifico Montevideo 48,121 cattle and 212,655 sheep, a monthly average of 12,000 cattle and 53,000 sheep. Jusi (pronounced hoosey) is a Philippine combination of silk and pineapple fabric which is becoming popular in this country. Beirut, in 1911 and 1912, imported 145,000 sacks of flour of 220 pounds each. Vancouver, British Columbia, real estate is valued at $138,557,595. Forgive the man who smites you on one cheek, and he will generally swat you on the other. Some people are so disagreeable that it's a wonder they can manage to keep on such good terms with themselves. The trouble with the average man is that he wants to reap his reward before it is ripe. Some girls never learn to flirt, for the same reason that fish never learn to swim. Shears which cut through three inches of steel, the most powerful ever built, have been installed in a Pennsylvania mill. It takes a philosopher to keep from worrying over the fact that he is not appreciated. China, in 1912, exported 82,244 pack- areas of firecrackers. SPORTS FOOTBALL Big guns say that of the top-notchers Yale is farthest to the front just now. Walter Eckersall says the new rules are better than any others in the history of football. "Germany" Schultz, the old Michigan star, is assisting Coach "Hurry Up" Yost at Ann Arbor. Yale looks stronger now than it did at the opening of the football season, but Harvard is still favored. In games outside its own section, Michigan plays Penn, Cornell, Syracuse and Vanderbilt this year. Eddie Vanderboom, a former Wisconsin halfback, is assisting Head Coach Juneau with his alma mater this year. Exendine, former star end of Carlisle, is back at the college helping Glenn Warner instruct the Redskins in football art. Ten touchdowns in a game lasting just 44 minutes was the record of the Princeton Tigers in their game with Fordham. Harry Kersburg, the former Harvard guard, has developed a strong and well-drilled team at Holy Cross this year. The Stanford university football squad is already in strict training for the annual Rugby game with the University of California. John Oates, the old Yale end and track captain, is helping the coaches develop the Johns Hopkins university squad at Baltimore. A son of Poe, Princeton's great quarterback of 1885, is out for the St Mark's school eleven. Of course he is preparing for Princeton. Coach Yost is driving his Michigan squad at a harder pace than ever before. As soon as one man vacates the hospital list, two more go on it. . . . Dartmouth has shown a lot of improvement of late. The Hanover eleven is lighter than for some years, but will make up for this in speed. Coach Warmer of Carlisle is tutoring three mom—Capt. Welch, Guyon and Crane in the fine art of goal kicking, with the hope of finding a successor to Jim Thorpe. --- Stagg is finding himself in possession of a surplus of kicking material for one time in his Chicago career. Captain Norgreen is rivaled by no less than three clever performers with the toe. . . . Charley Brickley, star of the Harvard squad, is in partnership with Bill Bingham in the laundry business. The name of the Brickley-Bingham firm is the Harvard Independent Laundry company. Four of the Western Conference teams have changed coaches, the new mentors being R. C. Zuppke at Illinois, Happy Smith at Purdue, John B. Wille at Ohio State, and D. H. Grady at Northwestern. Shaw, Semmens and Haviland are having a keen tussle for the position of center on the Princeton eleven. With Bluetenthal to teach them the fine points of the position, one of the trio should develop into a good man. Wilson, who has been playing quarterback on the Yale varsity football eleven almost since the beginning of the season and who was generally regarded as a find for that position, has been shifted by the Yale coaches to fullback. HORSE RACING Massachusetts promises to have a lot of half-mile track racing next year. Lady Cochato, a four-year-old trotter, is said to have worked in 2:06 3-4 for Mike McDevitt. George H. Estabrook has sold Zarine (2:07 1-4), a daughter of Bingara and a Kremlin mare. John L. Dodge expects to name Silk Hat in all of the 1914 early closing events to which he is eligible. Cox looks to be in line to head the money winners this year, as his total has reached $70,000. A. B. Coxe's Zombro Belle (2:13) has won all of the three-year-old races in the Pennsylvania circuit. The little Texas mare, Cheeney, won the twenty-fifth annual age rotting championship at Lexington, the $5,000 Transylvania stake. Cabel (2:05 1-4), one of the bread winners in the Cox stable, is the sire of some promising colts in Maine. Walter R. Cox is the first one to start out for the 1914 campaign, as he has bought the pacer, King Couchman (2:12 1-4), with the Chamber of Commerce stake in sight. Nervolo Belle, dam of Peter Volo, is by Nervolo (2:04 1-4), and out of Josephine Knight, by Betterton, a son of George Wilkes, and her dam was Mambrino Beauty, by Mambrino King. IOWA STATE BYSTANDER 10 Alonzo Stagg of Chicago. Coach Stagg is far from pleased with the work of his men. He has intimated there is a little too much opera temperament; and too little hard work being shown on the Midway and has hinted at some radical changes in the lineup. The sixth annual Middle West Bowling association tournament will open in St. Louis next Thanksgiving day. George Lyon of Durham, N. C., well known over the trapshooting world has turned golfer. Lyon is said to be a star on the links. AQUATIC Kansas City, Mo., wants the annual Mississippi Power Boat association regatta for 1914. American yachtsmen seem unanimous in the viewpoint that the next battle for the American cup will be the toughest in history. James Paddon, the champion professional sculler of Australia, and Richard Arnet, the ex-world's champion, have signed articles to scull for the cham-cup and $1,000 a side. PUGILISM Willie Ritchie is willing to box Ad Wolgast, if the latter will come in at 135 pounds ringside. Bat Nelson has promised to retire from the ring. He realizes he is through and will probably go into vaudeville or on the lecture plaform. Jim Driscoll, the world's feather- weight boxing champion and winner outright of the Lonsdale belt, has definitely announced his retirement from the ring. Connie Mackin fortune is estimated by some of his close friends at $250, 000. --- One hundred and fifty-one thousand fans paid a total of $325,980 to see the world's series. Connie Mack declares that the Athletics in 1914 will, barring accidents, run first for the top honors. Is Eddie Collins more valuable than Jack Barry? Baseball scribes and fans answer "yes" and managers say "no." The Athletic players have rechristened Schang, the young catcher of the world champions, "Walloping Wallie." To Ray Keating fell the honor to be the first New York pitcher to defeat the Red Sox on New York ground in two years. Cincinnati has released Pitcher Herbert, once of Shreveport and Austin in the Texas league, to Montreal of the International. Jawn J. McGraw has now equaled the world's record formerly held by Hugh Jennings of losing three consecutive world's championships. A. G. Spalding predicts that after the conclusion of the present Giant White Sox world's tour baseball will become an international game. Walter Johnson always said that there wasn't a pitching staff in either league that could stop the heaving batting of the Athletics, and he was right. --- Harking back to 1909, when Detroit made its last assault on the world's championship, Hugh Jennings calls Leslie Bush the Babe Adams of the 1910 series. Just now Babe Adams has been representing himself against the Clevelanders. --- Lee Garvin has been retained as manager of the Portsmouth club in the Virginia league for next season. Jack Barry, the star shortstop of the Athletics, is one player whose name is seldom seen in print, but still he is classed as the best of all shortstops. Connie Mack is one of the few managers who believes in college diamonds as recruiting fields. Connie has developed more college players than any other manager. MEANS MONEY SAVING INTELLIGENT USE OF MATERIAL IN THE KITCHEN. Especially In the Preparation of Soups Can the Housewife Who Knows, Economize on Her Butcher's Bill. The housewife by judicious selection of her food materials and intelligent cooking may perform her part in saving. It is not so much what comes in the kitchen door as what goes out in waste, that determines the size of the fill the housewife must meet. These recipes are simple and selected with the idea of promoting economy. Tomato Soup—One-half can tomatoes, 1 pint cold water, $\frac{1}{2}$ onion, $\frac{1}{2}$ tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, 2 tablespoons of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, $\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoon pepper Strain tomatoes, add water, salt, pepper and sugar, cook $\frac{1}{2}$ hour after which stir in mixed flour and butter, boil 10 minutes and serve hot. Boulillon and Vernicelli—Buy a 10-cent knuckle of veal. Put on to cook in 2 quarts of water and let come to a boil slowly, then add salt, pepper and onion. Boil slowly for three hours, strain through a fine sieve, and let come to a boil. Add about ½ cup of finely broken vermicelli and boil for 10 minutes longer. Cream Carrot Soup—Wash, scrape and cut into slices enough carrots to fill a fruit bowl. Boil these in a quart of water, slightly salted, till soft enough to rub through a sieve with the potato masher. Mix together in a thick saucepan 2 tablespoons of flour and 1 tablespoon of butter, stirring with a wooden spoon till they begin to bubble. Gradually stir into this a pint of milk and carrot pulp. Add hot water to make 1 quart of soup. Put the yolk of 1 egg and a tablespoon of chopped parsley together in the tureen, turn in the hot soup, stir gently, and serve at once. Rice Soup—Take 1 quart of water and 4 tablespoons of well-pickled and washed rice, put in a granite kettle, and place in a moderate oven. Add a quart of rice milk and salt to taste, and boil 10 minutes or until rice is done; a slice of onion or a stalk of celery cooked with it and removed before serving will improve the flavor. Add 1/2 cup of sweet cream to the soup and serve. Consomme—Fifteen cents for 3 pounds of veal or beef bone. Crack the bones well and cut the meat from them into small pieces. In a hot soup kettle put 1 teaspoon of sugar and a few slices of onion. Heat until both have become dark brown. Put in the meat, sear slightly and cover with 2 quarts of cold water. Add the bones, bring quickly to boiling and skim. Let simmer gently for 3 hours, then add 2 or 3 whole cloves and a bay leaf and allow to simmer a half hour longer. Strain through cheesecloth and set aside to cool. When cold remove fat from surface. When heated, with the addition of salt only, this makes a most delightful dark brown clear soup. Lima Bean Soup—Soak one pint 61 lima beans over night in cold water and in the morning boil in water until soft. If the water boils away very much add a little milk or water. Add salt, pepper and cayenne to taste. If you like add a little onion juice. Melt one tablespoon of butter and rub into it until it is perfectly smooth one tablespoon of flour. Pour on this one cup of boiling water and stir hard. Stir the two mixtures together. Slice 2 or 3 very thin and put in the soup. It will be ready to serve as soon as it boils. Mock Olivae Mock olives made of green plums are worth making. Get a quarter of a peck of them. Mix an ounce of mustard seed, two quarts of vinegar, two tablespoonfuls of salt and boil it. When it is boiling, pour it over the green plums, which should have been washed, sorted and laid out on a board or table to dry. Let the plums stand in the spiced vinegar until the next morning and then drain it off. Heat it and pour it over the plums again. Let them get cold and bottle and cork them. Potatoes in the Shell Bake 8 medium sized potatoes. When done take from oven and cut into lengthwise pieces. Remove the inside carefully without breaking the skins, mash, add butter, pepper and salt, 2 tablespoons of milk and the beaten whites of two eggs. Stir to gently, fill the skins or shells with the mixture and bake 20 minutes. Serve hot. There is no time to be wasted in preparing these, and the quicker you can do it the better. Silver Thimble I never throw away my silver thimble because of the holes that wear in the top. Instead I mend it in the following manner: Drop a small quantity of sealing was inside, dip the middle finger in cold water and press the thimble on. When this is finished polish the thimble up with a piece of chamels and you have a new silver thimble set with coral—Exchange. Egg Toast. Beat one egg lightly, roll a pinch of salt and a cupful of milk. Soak the slices of bread in this custard until soft. Have a griddle hot and well buttered. Brown each slice on one side, put a piece of butter on top of each slice, then turn and brown on the other side. If preferred this can be fried in the drippings from the ham, which gives the bread an appetizing flavor. Useful Hints. Pertumed olive oil sprinkled on library shelves will prevent mold on books. Mud stains can be removed from black cloth by rubbing them with a raw potato. After Peeling Onions After peeling ontons rub your hands with celery or parsley. It will counteract the odor. TRAGEDY OF ROSE PETALS By JEAN D'AUVERGNE. The season of the rose sellers was at its highest in the topsy-turvy ancient city of Moscow, which, in spite of its stucco German buildings and miniature American sky-scrapers, still seems to recall the east at every corner of its tortuous streets. Even the rose sellers here are different from the pale-faced, tired-looking men and women who ply the same trade in the great cities of western Europe. Every morning, when the dawn is just beginning to break and the sun, like a great red ball of fire, is forcing its way up into the silver-gray sky, they take their stand—a rugged, bare-footed band of smiling urchins—on the new bridge beside the first station. Motor cars are comparatively rare in Moscow, and the rose sellers have not yet learned to judge their deceptive pace with the same nicety as their American prototypes. And so sometimes it happens that the bridge is a silent witness of many a little tragedy. Suddenly there is a startled shout, of warning from the driver. The car takes a wide swerve to the side. A piercing shriek rings out in the cold morning air. A sickening thud follows. The car stops, while a police man comes forward with his notebook. The little fellow is taken into the car and driven off to the nearest police station. In a little by-street across the river in the driest part of the town a trail, shriveled-up little' woman is busily cleaning out her room. She swears gently to herself every few minutes. The samovar has been ready for over an hour, and her brat of a boy has not yet come home. Most likely he has gone off with the other lads to play pitch and toss. She is still meditating on the punishment she will certainly mete out to him when a knock at the door disturbs her, and the great, gruff voice of the doorkeeper rings out: 'Marla Vasiljeva! Marla Vasiljeva! You are wanted at the ouchastok (police station) at once.' A policeman pushes his way into the room. Wonderingly she wraps a shawl about her head and totters out into the street. The neighbors gaze at her lazily, curiously, and exchange notes with each other as to the exact nature of the crime Maria Vastiljevna has committed. At the ouchastok she is ushered into the superintendent's office. He has a harsh voice, but he looks at her not unkindly. "See, if the mother," he says stammeringly, while he shuffles on the floor with his heavy top boots, "there has been an accident." She bows her head resignedly. "It is my Pavel, is it not?" The officer nods assent. He takes her into another room and shows her the poor, emaciated body with the white, pinched face and the wide-open, startled eyes. The little hand is clenched tightly over a bunch of faded roses. "Is that your son?" he asks. The answering "yes" is swallowed up in the muttering of a prayer. As gently as he can the officer leads her back into his office. The law must be carried out, and the body has to be identified. He shows her where to make her mark in his book, for she cannot write her name. "May I take the roses with me?" she asks pleadingly. The reply is in the affirmative. She goes back to the bare, cold mortuary. A bunch of faded roses is lying beside the corpse. Greedily, penningly, as though frightened that the officer might go back on his word, and without a thought for the body beside her, she gathers up the precious bundle. She counts them over once, twice, last there any mistake. Then, with a quiet good-by, she takes her leave. Once in her own home she puts the flowers in water, and the faded petals refuse to resume their appearance of freshness. "The devil take them," she mutters disgustedly. "They are worth ten copecks—not even on the Tverskala." She takes a needle and pricks the long, green stems in a last effort to revive them, but the flowers are as dead as the child whom she has just left. Banking Under Difficulties Many years ago gold was discovered at Hokitika, on the west coast of New Zealand. There was a rush to the small Maori village, and within a few weeks seventy vessels, of all rigs and tonnage, were waiting to get over the dangerous harbor bar. The author of "Antipodean Notes" describes the first bank established in the little town. With the vessels came two agents of a local bank. Their bank furniture consisted of a safe, a pair of scales, a tent and a couple of revolvers. The two agents set up their tent, put the safe in the back part, and a plank, lald across two tree stumps, in front. The bank "staff" sat down behind the plank; before one man were the scales, a bottle of acid, and a notebook; the other with a cocked revolver. The digger brought his gold to the plank "counter," where it was weighed and tested. When the value was determined the testing clerk unlocked the safe, placed the gold in it, brought a bundle of dirty bank-notes, and handed them to the digger. During this transaction, the clerk with the revolver looked carefully to see if any auspicious persons were lurking near—Youth's Companion. Unbusinesslike "What does the Mexican official mean by 'manana'?" "Manna means tomorrow." "That shows he's not a good buskness man. If he were he would not mention anything less than sixty days." The Difference. "What is the difference between a political gathering and one of a hunt club?" "I know. One is a mass meeting and the other is a meet massing." NOT DAY OF SPORT World Has Become a Thing in Which Work Counts. Despairing Cry Uttured by Duke of Westminster in England Is Not Likely to Be Greatly Heeded The sporting blood of Englishmen has been brought to a boil by the duke of Westminster, who has appealed for a public fund of $500,000 to equip the British team for the Berlin Olympic games of 1916. Seldom has the land that loves a lord so criticised a coroneted head as the English have assailed the wealthiest of the peers for this appeal for mere necessary money. Now Westminster, hinting that his sentiments are in vague degree the same as those of George V. has fauntled in the faces of Englishmen a glaring list of sports in which other nations have outclassed the "mother of sport." And all England is looking, and all the other nations are looking, too, at what the duke declares "America is now champion in pole, rackets, yachting, lawn tennis (Davis cup), tennis, boxing, swimming, trotting horses, running horses, in 100-yard, 220-yard, 440-yard and 880-yard foot races, in hurdles, high jump, pole jump, weight-pputting and hammer-throwing. "New Zealand leads in lawn tennis (singles), Austria in billiards, South Africa and New Zealand actually lead in rugby football. Canada leads in lacrosse and shooting. France leads in fencing, France and Russia in horse jumping, France and Germany in cycling, Sweden in skating. No one can dismiss a list like that as meaningless. The list includes some sports which became classic in England. The champions include some countries of small population. Golf, rowing, cricket are not one the list of "national disasters," as the sport-loving duke calls it. But he does not seem to say too much when he speaks of the lost prestige of a great sporting nation." However, perhaps the English are not such a "great sporting nation." There was a time when they heard with docile patience the snobbless assertion of Wellington that "Waterloo was on won on the cricket fields of Eton." Kipling has shown his people that the men who win battles are: "Duke's son, cook's son, son of a belted earl. Son of a Lambeth publican, it's kill the same today." And from the hot fields of bleeding South Africa he wrote this for Eton cricket lovers to read: "The fannel fools at the wickets and the muddled oats at the goals." And white cricket lovers did not like it the rest of the English did. And this is why the rest of the English look on in indignation at the idea of public subscription for a mere international muscle contest. They are much more interested in Westminster's family troubles than in his Olympic worries. They like games, of course, for the fun of the thing, but records are for experts and contestants to study. And in this, English common sense is close to the common sense of all peoples. England is a country that has produced great sporting figures, but "a great sporting nation" such as the duke speaks of never existed since the fall of Rome. There is too much work to do in this busy world—Detroit Journal. On a Monday Morning. Monday morning is a hard test for the institution which we call life. Life may be all very well on Saturday night and Sunday morning, but how about Monday morning? If you wake up then with a pleasurable anticipation of the week of work which is ahead of you, you are a happy amm. The instinct of the bad boy who plays truant never quite dies out of us. One dreams of a Monday morning, when the sun is shining and the air is clear, of slipping quietly into one's clothes, of tiptoeing softly out of the house, of scaling the fence and crossing the meadow and losing one self in the alluring woods, while time-clocks remain unpunched and whistles blow in vain. Hone Springs Eternal "Hope," said the late Mayor Gaynor, at a luncheon in New York. "Hope—man is never without it." The mayor looked about him in his quiet, whimsical way. "Hope never deserts man," he said. "When a man is young he hopes to attain fame. When he" old he hopes to escape the poorhouse." Pleasing All. "I boble I could be a doctor myself," said the office boy. "How'd you work it?" inquired the elevator man. "If a man that works in an office comes along, you tell him he needs fresh air and exercise. If it's a motoran or a truck driver, you tell him to stay in the house and keep warr." Only Surface Coloring. Willie—Mamma, what's that stuck in papa's throat? Mother—That's papa's Adam's apple. Willie—And did he swallow it green? Mother—Don't be grotesque, dear; papa wears a brass, collar button.—Cornell Widow. Careless. "Have you made a special study of the subject on which you are going to lecture." "No," replied the gifted speaker. "I tried that once and I got so interested in the subject that I didn't have time to write the lecture." Her Little Task "How's your new housemaid?" "Artistic, but not much for rough work. But the housemaid is a morning manicuring the hands of the parlor clock." Services morning and evening on Sunday were well attended at both churches. Rev. A. N. Webb and Rev. Carr, acting pastors, preached. The series of meetings at the Second Baptist church have closed and Rev. Carr has six new members added to his congregation. The A. M. E. Sunday school will give a Halloween and masquerade social Friday evening, October 31. Mrs. Pearl Davis is visiting in Mason City, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Davis. Mrs. Edna Jones is an over Sunday visitor with her sister, Mrs. Charles Wilson. Mrs. Queen Taylor, who has been confined to her home with rheumatism, fell and fractured her hip. She was taken to the hospital. She was resting easy when last heard from. Her friends greatly sympathize with her, as it seems she is having a series of misfortunes. Mrs. Earl Wagner was hostess at a delightful informal Thursday at her home in compliment of Rev. A. N. Webb and Mrs. L. Paton of St. Paul. The table was beautifully decorated with ferns and fruits. The hostess served a five-course dinner. The K. of P.'s gave an excellent entertainment at their hall Saturday evening. The ladies served a fried chicken supper. It was well attended and financially a success. Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Patton last week, a son. Mr. George Johnson has returned from Clarinda, after a pleasant week's visit with relatives. The Benevolent society meets with Mrs. Cheshire on Thursday evening. Richard B. Harrison, the celebrated Negro reader, will give one of his elegant recitals at Mt. Zion A. M. E. church November 1, 1913. Do not miss this recital, as he has no equal in the race. Remember the date. Prof. Hammond of Chicago was a week's visitor, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Wells Fowler. The Mt. Zion A. M. E. church is making great preparations for a grand rally on Thanksgiving day. The church has been divided into four companies, under four able captains. All are ready and on the field for the great battle. Three hundred dollars is the amount we expect to raise. Rev. Bowles has returned to his home in Ft. Madison, after a successful two weeks' series of meetings with Rev. Carr at the Baptist church. ROCK ISLAND, ILL Miss E. Smith of Des Moines, Iowa, visited Mr. William Terrell on his vacation at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Jones. Mrs. G. H. Merchant spent two days in our city visiting Mr. and Mrs. Lambert, who spared no pains in macking it very pleasant for her in their beautiful home at 609 Michigan avenue. Mrs. Andrew Hoskins has returned home, after visiting relatives in Macon, Mo. Mrs. Cass Lambert is contemplating taking a trip west in the near future. The funeral of little Genevieve Harper was held at the McKinley Baptist church last Sunday afternoon. Rev. Whitfield officiating. There were many beautiful florals. We extend our sympathy to the family. The reception which was given in honor of Rev. Whitfield and wife by the members of McKinley Baptist church was very nice. A very large crowd was present to welcome the Rev. and his wife for another successful year's work. A very nice program was rendered. Dr. Davis, Rev. Stovall of Davenport, Iowa, and Mrs. McClain were the principal speakers of the evening. After which the festivities took in the basement of the church. Mr. John Blackwell left today for Chicago. He will be gone about fifteen days. The Hallowe'en entertainment given by the little Gleaners was quite a success. Little Mary Ligons cut her arm last week while playing on a piece of glass, but is able to return to school this week. Ulysses Clark has won great honors while playing football and also a champion runner. He will finish high school next year. He is also a member of the high school orchestra, playing the leading cornet. He is one young man we should be proud of. The services at the McKinley Baptist church were very good Sunday.

COLFAX NEWS ITEMS Colfax people are enjoying som- very fine weather. Yesterday seemed like a spring day, yet quite a number of the patients at the different rest homes are gone and more are going. Hallowe'en was greatly enjoyed by the young folks. A Hallowe'en party was given at the residence of Mrs. Miller for her little daughter, Rosa. She entertained quite a number of her school friends. Mrs. Rev. Henry Clark, a former resident of this city, but now of South Dakota, returned to the city on a business trip in the interest of their property here.

The Bethel Baptist church, with pastor and members, will start in on a ten days' revival meeting November 3. Rev. Evans, the pastor, will conduct the services. BRUNSWICK, MO., NOTES. Our church is prospering as never before. Sunday morning we listened to an excellent sermon delivered by our pastor, Rev. W. H. Davis, from Matthew 7-7. Subject, "Asking and Receiving." Collection for day, $40.90 Wedding bells rang out over the city. Miss Velma, the daughter of Prof. and Mrs. L. W. Bigby, was united in holy wedlock to Mr. Isaac Ray of Kansas City in the First Baptist church of this city, Rev. W. H. Young of Fulton, Mo., and the pastor, Rev. W. H. Davis, officiating. It was indeed one of the grandest events of this occasion that has occurred in our city. Amid the inclementy of the weather there were 300 people in the church. The very best of order prevailed throughout the services, after which an excellent reception was given at the residence. Fully $350 was the value of the presents that the bride and groom received. They are making their home in Kansas City. Miss Velma was one of our brightest jewels. She had been the organist of the First Baptist church here for a number of years, a devoted Christian girl. We hope and wish for her a bright future. BELOIT. WIS. (Special to Bystander.) We are very glad to note the progress of Rev. A. L. Johnson, who formerly pastored at Sioux City, Iowa, but is now pastoring the A. M. E. church of Beloit, Wis. Rev. Johnson did splendid work in Sioux City, building up the church when it was almost disbanded. He with the sixty-eight members that were added to the church did splendid work and are to be commended. He is now in Beloit working with the same arder as before and he now has a very good church. The people of Beloit made his welcome very strong. We wish Rev. Johnson continued success.

A. J. Boower, M. D. The question of infection and contagious disease is not clear to some people. An infectious disease is one that is transmitted from one person to another, either by direct contact by coming in contact with something that the diseased person has handled; in this manner acquiring the germ. A contagious disease on the other hand is always an infectious disease, but by some means a person contracts the disease with no apparent contact with person or things. The term contagion is older than infection in the present light of our knowledge of disease dissemination. Practically for every day purposes in matter of care they are both the same. As a matter of fact every person knows that some diseases while infectious are not necessarily contagious. Take for example tuberculosis or rheumatism or tonsilitis, these are infectious but not contagious; while on the other hand scarlet fever and smallpox are both infectious and highly contagious. Yet we all know by common experience that some in the same house will not take "these" diseases, although confined with them or often while nursing them. This is an important and valuable hint—it brings up the question of why. We, I mean physicians, know that la gripe, measles, pneumonia, scarlet fever, diphtheria, typhoid, tuberculosis, smallpox, tonsilitis, wheoping cough, and some ailments are due to infection, or to be more plain, to a person becoming susceptible to the ever-present germ. The germ of diphtheria will not cause smallpox, nor will that of smallpox cause typhoid fever. The specific germ must be present, and always is All infectious diseases begin in about the same way. A languid, tired feeling, loss of appetite, some chilliness, or a chill, fever, and often vomiting—this is a general trend of symptoms but not absolute in all cases. The reason some people are easy prey to these diseases, some are not susceptible, and in others these diseases run such peculiar and often disastrous courses is summed up in one word by immunity, or lack of it. This is the reason we all should take great care of ourselves, keep the body repair up, so that if we do run into germs they will find us resistant. In its last analysis the body must resist the attack and overthrow the attacking germs. When a doctor tells you he scattered pneumonia, typhoid and other diseases, or he kept you from developing it he is either a self-deluded ignorantous or a willful prevaricator. It goes without saying in the light of the above brief explanation that some attacks are not so bad as others of the same disease. But typhoid, diphtheria and other diseases must be developed before a physician can tell what they are. Declare War on Colds. A crusade of education which aims "that common colds may become uncommon within the next generation" has been begun by prominent New York physicians. Here is a list of the "don'ts" which the doctors say will prevent the visitation of the cold: "Don't sit in a draughty car." "Don't sleep in hot rooms." "Don't avoid the fresh air." Don't stuff yourself at meal time. Over-eating reduces your resistance. To which we would add—when you take a cold get rid of it as quickly as possible. To accomplish that you will find Chamberlain's Cough Remedy most excellent. Sold by all dealers. MOBERLY NEWS.
