We wish to thank the subscribers of this city for their promptness in paying for the Bystander. Only a few that have not paid their arrears and the near future, and we are glad that the members of our race are reading more publications that are owned by Afro-Americans. A daily paper is almost indispensable and since we have but few of those (if any), most every man and woman could spare 3 or 4 cents per week for some Negro publication. Were it not for them we would not know what progress our race is making, as most all the daily papers will not give us much news about the good things we do, but will find plenty of space when a member of our race commits a crime. We certainly admire what Chancellor Avery of the University of Nebraska says about other universities wanting them not to play Mr. Ross simply because he is colored. In a recent statement given to the press by the chancellor, he says: "I will request the board of regents at the next meeting to pass a rule that the right of students at the University of Nebraska to participate in any athletic contest, intercollegiate or otherwise, shall not be abridged on account of race cr color, and Nebraska will not enter any association or conference where such right is denied." Now if the board of regents adopt that rule we command them for such action. K. U. and N. U. game scheduler will next Saturday and the manager of athletes at K. U. had made a request to Nebraska asking them not to play Ross, and that Chancellor Avery issued the above statement. In our notes after the game we will inform the Bystander readers who won and if Ross played. Mrs. O. T. Duncan left last week for Bedford, Iowa, for a few weeks' visit with her relatives and friends.

As the date of the meeting was changed from Friday night, as Mr. Tyler was delayed by a train wreck, the attendance was not very large, yet the meeting served to have some good suggestions made about giving more patronage to the Afro-Americans who are engaged in business.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Unless the mortgage now resting on the old home of the late Frederick Douglas in Washington is paid, the estate will have to be sold. It was bequeathed, with all the furniture, books, papers, art treasures and curios, as well as the 15 acres of land surrounding it, to the colored race to be maintained by it as a memorial, the same as Mount Vernon maintained by the people of this country. In heavy mortgage has resided upon the home. The trustees have no funds to meet the obigation, and the home has no earning capacity, being a memorial. Because of lack of funds, not only is the mortgage pressing, but the home is falling into decay. The Douglas home is a large, old southern mansion sitting at the top of Cedar hill, Anacostia, D. C., overlooking the Potomac river and Washington. Anacostia, once a municipality, now is a part of Washington. The Douglas home has been maintained has grown out to it and around it, and it is only a few minutes ride by street car from the White House or the capitol. While the colored race this year is celebrating the fifth anniversary of the emancipation, this old home of Douglass, who contributed so much to bring about that emancipation, is failing into decay, and in grave danger of passing out of the hands of the race by the foreclosure of the mortgage. The mortgage will have to be lifted this year. Ralph W. Tyler of Washington, D. C., former auditor for the navy department, is making a strenuous effort to arouse his race to the necessity of contributing funds to the home. Mr. Tyler said today it would be a sad reflection upon his race if, after 50 years of freedom, it would permit a return to the furniture, books and art treasures which Douglass spent a life time in collecting, to be scattered. The Douglass home is one of the historical spots in Washington. There was much of moral making, much of human kindness and even human affection under slavery as managed by the southern white man. Punishment there was, but there is punishment for offenders under every system. But the point is not that slavery was morally or politically either right or necessary, but that the black people are amenable to training and kindness. The great Christian white people of American can not escape a certain degree of moral responsibility for the Negroes' condition. Superiority can not escape being responsible for the inferiors around it. It may despise these inferiors and keep them in their place and discipline, and in their place or sphere, but superiority in a Christian people can not escape responsibility for its inferiors just as Christianity is responsible to send the gospel to the heathen and just as the state must educate its ignorant people, of whatever race. The Negro public schools should be brought up to a state of real efficiency in giving a sound intelligent, moral and manual industrial training. Every grade of every Negro school should have its graded exercises in the useful manual, industrial arts. The white people have it in their hafts to mould the Negro people to a greater usefulness.—E. L. Blackshear in the Houston Post. New York's mine output in 1912 was valued at $35,519,382. A negro boy of six years, whose parents moved from the country, entered a city school. The teacher, observing the child, went to him and learning that he had come to enter the school, asked: "What have you come to school for?" "To learn to read," said the boy. "So I can read the sign boards at the forks of the road, and know which road to take," replied the boy. The child's conception of education was, indeed, narrow. But his words contain a broad truth. The child soon finds that the road of life forks, the left division leading to the city of wickedness and destruction; the right to usefulness, happiness and eternal life. So much alike are the two roads at and near the division point that he does not always know which one to take. He needs the influence of the school and an education to enable him to read the sign boards aright and know which road of life to take. A youth named Abdul Latif was arrested at Calcutta for having climbed up a water pipe 120 feet long in order to hold converse with his sweetheart. Among those who attended the national convention of Rural Mail Carriers in Indianapolis recently were many women. There are 16,000 working girls in Philadelphia who are- living in furnished rooms away from home. Russia's women have taken violently to sport and aspire to lead all Europe both physically and mentally. Italy has more than 900 hermits living in caves. A general movement is under way in New York city for the establishment of a municipal ice plant to supply consumers at cost price. This demand is the direct result of the determination of the ice trust to boost prices during the summer. Napolon is said to have had 19 horses killed under him in his various bodies. His favorite war horse, Marengo, which the emperor rode for eight hours at Waterloo, long survived his master, dying in England in 1829, at the age of thirty-six. Sam Keeton, colored, of Bloomington, this county, left Sunday morning for the Mount Sterling market, with $8,000 or $10,000 worth of cattle. He was forced to take the stock away on account of the scarcity, of water, which, we are told, threatened a famine in his neighborhood until the situation was relieved by Sunday afternoon. Sam Keeton is one of the most widely known "cattle kings" of eastern Kentucky. He is a farmer, but the major portion of his wealth has been realized through cattle dealing. Like other successful "punchers," he "takes the saddle" and rides from county to county, and as regular as clockwork he is at Mount Sterling on each court day with thousand dollars worth of boyfriends. Should Sam Keeton, "the Magoffin county nigger," be allowed to work on big white gemmets, would flee through superstition like an actor when a dog trots across the stage. Sam Keeton was born, reared and (not) educated at Bloemington, in the northern end of Magoffin county. He "don't know a letter in the book," using his own words, and neither can he "figure." In short, he is absolutely illiterate. But his wife is well educated, and they are educating their offspring. His method of calculation is simple, unique and remarkable. This is how he does it: For a dollar he makes a long mark; for half a dollar he makes half a mark; for a quarter he makes a "little" mark; for a dime he makes a dot. He married a daughter of Green Gardner, and the union has been blessed with seven children, six of whom are living. He is still in the prime of life, being only forty-one or forty-two years old. -Salyersville (Ky.) correspondence to N. Y. Sun. Georgia is to lay more stress upon teaching Negro children in the country districts practical subjects rather than those which will be of no use to them. Of this the Savannah News says: "Prof. George D. Godard will doubtless find no other part of his work as state supervisor of rural elementary schools more interesting or important than that of carrying out plans for changing the system of instruction in the colored schools. It is understood that the plan provides for paying more attention to teaching colored pupils and helping their heads with a lot of ill digested learning that would be of little value to them. "Industrial and manual training is infinitely of more value to the average Negro, than such an education as he would be likely to get by studying grammar and geography and the like in the schools. The Negro who is a trained workman is more likely to be happier, steadier and a better citizen than the non-working class, education that would make him look upon honest work as beneath him. "The contemplated changes in the rural colored schools should tend to make Negroes more contented on the farm and to keep them from flocking to the cities to spend most of their time in idleness, which is the first step toward crime. The loading Negro is a heavy burden on the taxpayers. The hard working Negro is a good cottizer. The dignity and usefulness of profitable labor underlie the teachings of Hampton institute and Tuskegee institute, highly successful schools for training Negroes. The industrial exhibit at the recent negro exposition at New York included 50,000 patents from the United States patent office at Washington, which have been granted to negroes for useful inventions. A model of the first machine for manufacturing shoes, the invention of a negro, was one of the interesting exhibits. An automatic device for oiling locomotives was also on view. Exhibits were shown from the negro republics of Hatti, Santo Domingo and Liberia and pageants presented daily at the armory illustrating important events in the history of the negroes in the United States. --- Lucifer matches—that is, matches tipped with an explosive substance that bursts into flame on being struck—were first used about 1838. Many improvements have been made in matches since then, the most important of which was the invention of the safety match, striking on the box only. In England and Wales there are 1,179,276 women who cannot hope to get husbands, this being the number of females in excess to males. Although she is eighty-seven years of age, Eugenie Eugenie is still very active and retains her faculties and strength. Fifty expert needle women are employed at the Brooklyn navy yard, where they are kept busy making American flags. The harbor of Reykjavik, in Iceland, is to have a railway built about it so as to facilitate the transport of freight and ease the congestion due to old-fashioned methods. The new money-washing machine has been installed in the Philadelphia mint by Burgess Smith, its inventor. It weighs 6,800 pounds, has a capacity of 5,000 notes an hour, and has two parts—one scrubs the note, the second gives it a cold water bath. A resident of a section of Australia where the roads are few and poor has had his country automobile built into his own ideas, high enough to clear several feet of water and with a winn and reel of wire rope to pull it clear should it sink into soft ground. KEEPING AWAY HARM Almost All Peoples Place Faith in Charms. Even In Civilized. Countries Ornaments Are Generally Worn That Are Supposed to Bring Good Luck to the Wearer. Perhaps the instinct to avert the evil eye is born in our natures. Civilization has lessened it to a great extent, but in every race we find such an instinct exists. The wearing of nearly all personal adornment seems to have originated in an idea of pacifying evil deities. The savage wears ornaments symbolizing the protective powers supposed to be able to keep away harm or danger. In the West Indies there is a bean or seed which the natives think possesses many valuable properties. If carried in the purse they say the owner will never want for money; if hung on a catch chain they can be held by the giver. But woe betide the man who loses his precious charm. The East Indian leaves a tiny corner of his embroidery unfinished to propitate the gods; the dusky mother calls her baby hard names for fear her love should bring ill fortune upon him. In England superstitious country folk the amulets around their necks to prevent diseases. Some of the earliest of these were skilfully wrought by the people who inhabited this country thousands of years ago, because of the filth that the same as a camel producing varied effects by cutting into the different layers of color. Several examples of this practically lost art may be seen in the museum at Ipswich. They are carved to represent the heads of men and women, birds, fishes and reptiles, and are for the most part cleverly and pretty down to helmets found on many of our coasts embedded in the rocks were once thought to be thunderbolds and were worn as charms by fisherk. Farmers in ancient times decorated their horses by hanging amulets and gypsy fetish charms among their trappings to insure a good harvest. These amulets were frequently associated with a royal worship of the sun and were of Egyptian, Moorish and Persian origin. Although most people profess to laugh at the idea of wearing them purely for luck or from superstitious motives, yet charms are worn still with good-humored toleration and, for reasons none can explain, secretly favored, just in the same way that sober-minded men and women cling tenaciously to a crooked sixpece and treasure a three-penny bit with a hole in a pink coral hand in Italy is supposed to ward off the evil eye and plays its part in ornaments. Ruby ornaments are supposed to disperse evil spirits and are considered a protection from poison and other dire evils. Emeralds benign blindness. Garnet ornaments are supposed to keep one in good health; the sardonyx insures happiness. The sapphire keeps off fever. Amethysts keep off worries. A turquoise means that you will never want a crown. A crystal locket is a favorite charm and is said to bring good fortune and long life to its wearer. Jade also has a reputation as a luck bringer—Pall Mall Gazette. The Carbonarl. People are mistaken in their estimate of the Carbonari. The society did not have its origin in robbery and murder. On the other hand, its original purpose was to expel the foreigner from Italy and to establish civil and religious liberty. In 1620 the society, it is said, numbered 700,000, and it will never be known how much they did for the promotion of the spirit of nationality among Italians and the establishment of a "United Italy." Civilization owes much to the Carbonari, especially in the Italian peninsula. Jewish New Year The Jews date from the "Creation," which they consider to have been 3.760 years and three months before the commencement of the Christian era. To reduce Jewish time to Christian time subtract 3.761 years. The Jewish year consists of either twelve or thirteen months, of twelfth time or thirty days. The Jewish year coincides with the month Tisr, immediately after the new moon following the autumn equinox. The ecclesiastical year begins with Nisan. Jurymen In a Hurry. In a case of Middlesex (England) sessions in which an agent was charged with false pretenses, the evidence for the prosecution had not closed when the foreman of the jury announced that they had made up their minds. Mr. O'Connor, the defending barrister, at once demanded a new trial, and the judge ordered the case to be considered by a fresh jury. Fate "My good man, how did you come to be in prison?"

Origin of "Thuga." A real thug was a member of an organized society of fanatical murderers in India, who considered their vultures to be sacrifices to their gods. Their method was by strangulation. The English tried to suppress them about 1810, but did not succeed till about 1830. Can Tell All About It.

IOWA STATE BYSTANDER Lesson That All Must Learn In Their Journey Through Life. Wearly the Woman's eyes closed and she dreamed of the battle waging within. "Ah," cried the Heart, "what you ask is impossible—it would mean starvation—I should die!" "Are you, then, so afraid of death?" questioned the Soul, half pityingly, half contemptuously. "It is I who must triumph, I and the Intellect, to give lasting happiness." For a space the quivering Heart was silent. The Soul was convincing it against its will. But it would mean so much, this stifling of its longing—the endurance of pain and agony which only a little human heart could know and a great soul could not comprehend. The Heart, too, could give the Woman happiness—the Soul could not deny that, for the Heart, he had made the And, before he deliriously happy. "And," thought the Heart, "it was the Soul with its chiding and the Intellect with its cold reasoning who had caused the after hours of remorse, indication and reset." Fired by the injustice, the Heart spoke of these things, but the Soul answered sadly, "Can you not see that the happiness you would give the Woman is to be measured by Time? I would lead her to the white peaks of the Spirit—so that she might have happiness Eternal. That which you offer her is not Love," the Soul went on patiently; "it is that base thing, Passion, which erring once have ever confused with the Divine Gift. "It is physical beauty alone which fascinates and attracts this Woman to the Man—this Man to the Woman; and if you gain your desire, if you give her to the Man, in the degradation of her so-called 'happiness', with my teachings forgotten, all her victories, her sacrifices, her tollings upward will have been in vain. Oh, little Heart, there are many existences through which the Man's soul must pass, many cons of time through which it will have to live, before it can attain the heights upon which I am empowered to place the Woman—even as I must pass through countless existences before I may unite with the Perfect Source from which I sprang. The Man's soul is but just awakening. "Think you then, then, or Heart, that for long a Woman would rest content, that which grouping gropes soul? Passion, which you in your blindness call Love, would then fail to compensate, for Passion is but mortal and of the body, while Love is divine and of Eternity." The Woman awoke, pale and trembling, for she had shared in the Heart's agony as well as in the exaltation of the Soul. A fortnight passed, and again the Woman dreamed. And now the voice of the littel Heart was filled as with an untold weariness. "No more, O Soul," it said, "shall I oppose your wish. The battle is yours. But in losing I am also victor, for I have conquered Desire," and the voice sighed waveringly off the soul softly, and then from afar off came, in tones of infinite sweetness: "Thou shalt die, O Heart, but by thy sacrifice thou hast gained Eternal Life. In thy next existence thou shalt be a divine soul." And, when the Woman woke, there was in her eyes the peace of renunciation.—Janet Reeve, in New York Press. Straw Stacks a Nulsance. Kansas is said to lose between 2,000,000 and 3,000,000 bushels of wheat each year because of the straw stacks. The straw is of comparatively little feed value. Some farmers have a hundred more times straw than all their stock could eat. The straw is of no use as a fertilizer until well rotted, and it takes four to six years to rot. Not less than 100,000 acres of land, it is estimated, are covered with straw stacks and made useless for farm purposes every year. Burning these straw stacks does great damage to the ground on which it stands, as the terrific heat takes all the life out of the ground for a hundred feet or more around the stack. Rusala and United States. Territorially, Russia is by far the largest single country on earth, embracing more than 5,500,000 square miles (almost three times the area of the United States proper). The population of Russia is 164,000,000, and her natural resources are great, almost inconceivable. The United States has an area of something over 3,000,000 square miles, a population of 100,000,000, and a vast amount of, as yet unexplored, land in the United States overtowers that of Russia today, but when the great empire of the north becomes republican in spirit and institutions, as some time it must, it will be a mighty power indeed. Colossus of Rhodes. The accounts which we have received of the Colossus of Rhodes are very various—the extreme statements are 90 feet and 157 feet. If we accept the larger of these measurements, the Colossus, standing at the water's edge without any pedestal, would have overtapped the Bartholdi "Statue of the God of War" six feet. Barthold himself says of the ancient "wonder": "We may consider it as having been a very remarkable piece of work, independently of the legend of the ships passing between its outspread legs."

FROM THE BEAR'S PAW Gibraltar and I are partners. Gibraltar is a dancing bear. Some people might say I am Gibraltar's owner, but between him and me there's never been a question of master and beast. We're partners, share and share alike. We walk from town to town. We have enough to eat, and there is no sweater sleep than the sleep one gets under the star. We walk Gibraltar and I were strolling along a country lane we saw a girl coming toward us. She stopped a little way and called: "Will your bear hurt me?" "No, indeed, miss," says I. "He's as gentle as a kitten." She came up to us and my! she was pretty. Her eyes were like the sky and her cheeks were like the wild roses in the hedges. "Will he mind if I pat him?" she asked. She patted old Gibraltar's head and puffed his ears. "I do love bear," she said. "What's his name?" I told her and she said that was a beautiful name for a bear. I made him dance and she sat down by the road and laughed and clapped her hands. After ailho she said she must go. She dropped a dollar in my money basket and went her way. It was about sundown and we stopped at the first haystack and ate our supper and went to sleep. In the night I woke up. There were people on the other side of the hill, and when she哭ed, then a man said he was sorry; that he couldn't help it; he didn't love her any more; change was the law of nature and she must accept conditions. She said something about the love of the old days and the claim it gave her. That seemed to make the fellow tired and he said he didn't care for hash love. He asked her to give him something—I couldn't hear what—and she said she wouldn't, it was hers and gave a little scream. "Oh, you brute," he said. "You've been the victim of it." That woke Gibraltar and he groaned. The man cane around the haystack. "What are you doing here?" he asked. "Sleepin'." I says. "Get out," says he. "This isn't a hobes' roost." Next morning when I woke up I saw we were near a house and we ambled toward it looking for a breakfast. It was a big house with a long porch in front of it and on the porch were a lot of people. It wasn't a farmhouse, as I had supposed, but some swell's summer cottage, and Gibraltar and Algeria. When they saw us they called to us to come to the porch, they wanted Gibraltar to dance. On the lowest step my little sunshine lady and beside her was the fellow I had seen the night before. Near them was a tall woman with yellow hair. After Gibraltar had done his stunts I passed the money basket. The last person it came to was the fellow beside me and the fellow being talking to her that he never looked at what he pulled out of his pocket and into the basket. I hung the basket on Gibraltar's paw and told him to make a bow. He bowed so low that the basket slid off and fell at the sunshine lady's feet. There was something in it which didn't look like money and she picked it up. It was a gold locket about the size of a half dollar. She opened it, and there was the fellow's picture and: "To Beatrice, from George." She snapped the locket shut and handed it to the tall woman. "This is yours, I think," she said. He looked keen as he wanted to smash Gibraltar and me particularly. The little sunshine lady put her hands in Gibraltar's fur and shook his big head. "Gibraltar," she said, "you have done a great deal for me today and I thank you, old fellow. Even out of the paws of bears—" She kind o' choked then and I took up Gibraltar's chain and we went off. When Snuff Was Useful. "Some people have the knack of coding and saying the right thing at the right time," comments Lord Ross-more in "Things I Can Tell." And as an instance of the value of presence of mind in an emergency, he tells of a dog fight in Bond street, London. Two terriers that belonged to two socially eminent ladies had engaged in a businesslike tussle. The distracted ladies alternately made tearful but vain appeals to their favorites and to the bystanders. Just as the sight seemed about to terminate fatally for one of the animals a blase-lookup "chapple" elbowed his way through the crowd with a polite "Permit me." He similarly surveyed the two strangling dogs; then he produce a hand-some gold snuffbox and taking a pinch of snuff from it he dropped a little on the end of each dog's nose. A fit of sneezing ensued, which compelled them to release their grip, and the combat came to an end. With a polite bow to the ladies, the strategist walked leisurely away. Youth's Companion. A.

Queen Victoria had just been crowned when Donald Smith, at the age of eighteen, left his home in Morayshire, Scotland, relinquishing the prospect of an easy life in the city to take his chances with adventure in the wild and isolated provinces which are now the dominion; and since Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst while in the detention pen at Ellis island was ankhurst while in Atl丝 island was informed that the Washington au thorities ha granted permis sion to allow her to land in this country.

"Commissioner Uhl told her she had just five minutes to each the 12:30 transfer boat to Manhattan. She snapped the bag shut, and hurried to the landing.

"Who is McKenna?" asked an American reporter, who did not recognize the name of the man. "Iaï" said Mrs. Pankhurst with a triumphant laugh. "You know who Mrs. Pankhurst is, but you never heard of McKenna. Now, perhaps, you see why we have adopted militant measures. We have made ourselves felt and have forced thought and action for our cause. "McKenna, my young friend, is the chief torturer of England. He is a narrow-minded, ignorant, pigeonhead person. He is the negation of all liberal principles, though he calls himself a Liberal.

LARGE WRAPS ALL THE MODE Practically No Other Design Is Worn by the Elegant Parisienne. Many Materials May Be Employed in Its Construction, but They Must Be Supple—Smart Hats Are Small and of Original Design. PARIS.—I have seen recently one of the sensational modes of the present season, namely, the voluminous out-door wrap, which seems absolutely without form and many times too big for its wearer. These wonderful garments are the rage of Paris now, and they will be the rage of the winter—right on into the spring, writes Idalia de Villiers in the Boston Globe. Such mantles may be made of many different materials, supple cloth, charmeuse, velvet, embroidered crepe de chine and silk-finished cashmere. The model I gay was really regal, so far as material and outline were concerned. It was composed of plain and stamped velvets, and the borders of rich sable added greatly to the general effect. A feature is a curious, unexpected sash, which confines the mantle just below the knee line. This is also one of the newest and most popular ideas. Such a rash, when arranged on an immensely full mantle, gives a peculiar outline to the figure. The shoulders seem very much too heavy for the lower limbs. But this effect is what our great dressmakers Simple Hat in Black and White Velvet, and tailors are striving to obtain; this is the latest idea in the world of fashion. Such mantles are made of hand- painted gauze and of fine black lace; they are trimmed with bands of sable, fox, chinchilla, skunk and various other furs. Material Must Be Supple. The choice of material is wide, but one thing is absolutely necessary, that is that the garment should be made of some stuff which is as supple as chiffon. Upon the pliable qualities of the material the success of the garment depends. Such a model would be simply grotesque if carried in thick cloth or heavy silk. To look well it must hang in straight, clinging folds, and this is only possible when ultra-supple materials are employed. Charmeuse embroidered in Japanese style is extremely effective for these mantles. The Parisian dressmakers and tailors vie with each other in an effort to obtain original and uncommon designs for these embroideries, and with the addition of bands of fur and dainty linings, the loveliest garments are created. Such a cloak as that will be very popular all through the winter for afternoon wear at the smart restaurants. These loose wraps can be thrown off with the greatest ease and a costume of white or pastel tinted crepe looks delicious when emerging from the generous folds of velvet or embroidered satin. I have mentioned in several recent articles that this is essentially a picturesque age. Women are looking unusually pretty and attractive this winter, and I attribute this fact, largely, to the picturesque dresses and dresses which are so much the fashion. Smart Autumn Hats. I have sketched this week one of the new models for autumn wear. One of these sketches represents a very original and uncommon tricorne. This shape is once more fashionable. In fact, it is going to be one of the most popular shapes of the winter season. The model shown in my sketch was made of black velvet, and it was bordered with white fox. The turned-up brim was so arranged that the curved lines seemed to overlap each other. This hat is one which I can confidently recommend to those in search of an effective model for wearing with autumn walking suits. Another popular design as a simple little hat in black and white velvet, with a quaint white marabou mount jutting out at one side. This mixture of black and white velvet is in great Dark Town. Of 10,000 townships in France having more than 1,000 inhabitants, about 6,000 are without any public lighting. Of the remainder, there are 1,249 lighted by gas, 2,763 lighted by electricity and 172 by acetylene. Where He Was Wrong "Dobbs says that he is a man who takes his medicine without complaining." "That's true, but he has a mistaken idea as to the medicinal value of alcohol."—Birmingham age-Herald. IOWA STATE BYSTANDER favor with the more important of the Parisian milliners. I have already spoken of the extreme popularity of white velvet, both with dressmakers and milliners; now the "chile" thing is a clever mixture of black and white velvet, or black and white silk beaver. The little shape is ideal for early morning wear. It fits close to the head and is almost universally becoming, at least to youthful faces. In white felt, with a black velvet edge, this shape is as useful as it is becoming, and it is also very charming in violet or cherry-red felt, with a border of black velvet or black moire. Though the Parisiennes have got quite tired of the small close-fitting snaps which were such a rage last spring, they are still wearing very small hats and toques in the morning; and even in the afternoon with tailored suits. Everything depends upon the manner in which such a hat as this is worn. It must be placed at exactly the right angle of the head and pressed down on the hair without hiding it, as did the "bathing-cap-toeques." Camellia Hair Cloth Camel's Hair Cloth. Camel's hair cloth is one of the favorite materials of the season, and it is specially effective in a rich shade of cherry red. Yesterday afternoon I saw an exquisite walking costume in this material. The skirt was set in flat pleats at either side and there was a sort of tight overdress which was buttoned down on the pleats with large flat buttons made of red enamel and ivory. The coat was fashioned in Russian blouse style and it showed the new long waist line to perfection. There was a deep border of heavy silk embroidery on the coat and below this a shaped band of skunk. The sleeves were long and quite tight and there was a collar of skunk which ended, in front, in two points. These points were buttoned down with the same buttons as those on the skirt. A large "Granny" muff was to be worn with this costume and a turban toque of black mirror velvet which had a very high mount made of horse hair. A similar costume, seen at the same dressmaker's studios, was made of the same cloth, but in a rich shade of Egyptian blue. On the underskirt—for there was a shaped tunic—there was a broad border of wool and silk embroidery. Various shades of blue and dull appeared in this embroidery and the same design formed large revers and gauntlet cuffs. The coatie was betted in at the waist by a culture of dark blue leather and on this belt there were many facets of wrought copper. The coat opened over an elaborate blouse of the finest white linen it is possible to imagine. This blouse had pleated frills on either side of the front and a straight, stiff collar which was finished off by a narrow black taffeta tie. Long Waist Line. Nearly all the new coats show the long waist line of which I spoke in a recent article. It was at first thought that this peculiar line would prove very trying to the average figure, but quite the contrary is the case. These boyish-looking coats are almost universally becoming. They give a curiously youthful outline to the feminine figure, for they reduce the apparent size of bust and hips. In fact, in one of these new coats a woman looks rather like a well-made boy. That this peculiar "ligne" will remain popular for some time to come there can be no doubt. It has "caught on," and already it is being exploited by all the leading elegantes of Paris. Very handsome Russian belts, made of embroidered leather, are worn with the new tailored coats which show the long waist line. In some cases these belts are of great value. They are not only embroidered very finely, but they are also inset with facets of copper or brass and finished off with antique buckles. One of these genuine Russian belts gives immense cachet to a simple tailored suit of serge or cloth. Indeed many of these belts are in themselves so beautiful and decorative that they take the place of trimming or full borders. Not Even Skin Deep. Things had altered since Clara and Clarence had been made one. When they were engaged he had been furious if anyone had gazed at her; now he was enraged because nobody did. "Not a soul ever looks at you twinkle!" he grumbled. "I can't think why I married such a fright!" "Why should anybody look at me when they see you with me?" asked Clara. "Unless they looked in pity! You keep a few yards behind next time we are out and see what happens then!" So Saturday afternoon saw Clara walking proudly down the High street, while Clarence tagged along behind. With mixed feelings he noticed how everyone looked at his wife, some even turning round to stare after her. Eventually pride overcame everything else and Clarence hurried to his wife's side. "Darling, I take back all I said. You were right and I was wrong. I—" In his excitement he failed to notice Clarence removing a large false nose! The Result. "If naval officers are compelled to witness surgical operations they will be reduced to the condition of the patients." "How so?" "I should think they would be very much cut up."

She who hankers to know how it is made, that light, soft, thick frosting that is twirled on cakes so tempting, need no longer envy the professional's skill. "Make ordinary boiled frosting," says the woman who has discovered the secret. "and after you have beaten it stiff enough to hold its own firmly on a cake empty it into a double boiler. "Place the double boiler over a good fire that will keep the water in the lower pan at a brisk boil. Do not stir the frosting at all, but watch it until it begins to fudge around the side of the pan. "Then take it from the stove and beat it in the pan until it is cool enough and thick enough to swirl on your cake, holding its own in what ever irregularities you wish to perpetrate. "If you let it get too cool it will harden in the pan perhaps before you have finished frosting your cake. This is specially likely if you have many little cakes, which take time to cover one by one. If it does harden a little hot water beaten in will remedy the difficulty. "It is the double boiling that gives the frosting the enviable fudgy, marshmallowy consistency. "Do not use a knife to put on frosting when you want the frosting to have a swirly, irregular look. Use a fork handle." TO MAKE CORNSTARCH CAKE Recipe That Has Been Held of Value for Managers. This Recipe Becomes Available Below. Put one-half cup butter in the biscuit pan and set on back of stove. Put into your mixing bowl one-fourth cup milk, one-fourth cup cornstarch, yolks of two eggs and lemon extract to suit taste. Beat the two whites and add them. Put into your flour stir three quarters cup sugar, one scant cup flour, $1\frac{1}{2}$ teaspoons baking powder. Sift these into the other things and whip together with a few strokes. Pour in the hot butter and mix it in with a few tight strokes and pour into the biscuit pan which is still sitting on the stove and put into the oven to bake. If you wish it richer, leave out a bit of the flour. This keeps well and is usually nice to eat with ice cream. Bake a good brown and frost if you wish; cut in squares. The egg, milk and extract may be put together any time and set aside in the safe to wait. The same with the dry ingredients. Then, when the time comes that the oven is right they may all be whipped the cake making is no longer a bugbear to the cook. Try this way of making cake just once and you will never again make it the old slow way. Creamed Potatoes When creaming potatoe, cut them cold boiled, then sprinkle generously with flour and mix all together. Add the amount of cold milk desired and put all on the fire to cook. As it heats, stir gently. It will thicken without lumps and be smooth and creamy. This does away with the disagreeable task of making thickening, and the whole is completed in half the time and with half the work. The same method may be used when frizzing beef or creaming turkey, chicken or codfish. It is not necessary to melt cocoa before adding it to the milk if you put the ingredients together before heating. Rag-O-Muffins. Three cups flour, four level tea spoons baking powder, one-half tea spoon salt, two tablespoons sugar about three-quarter cup milkls, one half tea spoon cinnamon, one-half cup currants or chopped raisins, two table- spoons butter. Mix as for biscuits. Roll out to one-quarter inch thickness in a long sheet, brush with butter and sprinkle with fruit, sugar and cinnamon. Roll like a jelly roll. Cut off pieces three-quarter inch in thickness. Bake in butter tin in hot over and about 15 or 18 minutes. How to Cook Dried Peas Place a lump of soda the size of a walnut in a saucepan of cold water, add the peas to this, and bring to the boil; allow them to boil for forty minutes. They will then be beautifully soft and well cooked. If for soup, add to the stock, otherwise they should be drained in a colander, buttered and peppered, and set aside for a few seconds for the butter to melt into them. Roast Goose. Select a bird with a clean white skin, plump breast and yellow feet and let it lift for a few days. To have a proper flavor it should be stuffed with sage and onions before roasting. Roast from an hour and a half to two hours, according to size, and serve with good brown gravy, bread crumbs richly browned, and a tureen of apple sauce. Potato Straws Wash and peel some potatoes, cut them into small shreds, about the thickness of matches, wash and dry on a cloth; throw them a few at a time into plenty of clear, boiling fat; shake the potatoes about in the fat until they are crisp and of a deep yellow color. Drain on a cloth, sprinkle slightly with salt and serve on a folded napkin. Mexican Codfish Saute a small onion chopped fine in three tablespoons of butter, then add two tablespoons of flour, half a green pepper minced and a cupful of stewed and strained tomato. When the sauce reaches boiling point add half a pound of faked cofish that has been freshened in cold water and parboiled. Slowly for ten minutes and serve very hot. Rocks One scant cup butter, two eggs, one and one-half cups sugar, one teaspoon cinnamon, one soda soda dissolved in two-thirds cup hot water, one pound of English walnut meats, one and one-half cups of raisins, three cups of flour, one gill grape juice. Bake in a slow oven. Ovite Trader Willing to Admit Young Woman Who Had Helped Him "Aln't Doin' No Harm." The mountaineers of Virginia and Tennessee are notoriously chary of praise. Miss Babbitt, the social worker who came down from the north, established a mission among the "cotties," and labored with them, found the people hard to get along with and said so. But there was another side to it. A covite trader came into the little college town near by one day and was questioned by one of the professors. "John," asked the professor, "how long has Miss Babbitt been out in Lost Cove?" "High onto four years," answered John. "The people like her, don't they?" "Some." "But she's a mighty good woman, John," urged the professor. "She's out there working to help you and your children. I've heard a lot about the good she's done." "We all," said John reluctantly, "I will say she ain't 'no' on harm"—New York Saturday Evening Post. DOTH BUSY. Hickson—My wife is trying to get into society. Dickson--What are you doing?

Foolishly he asked her for a kiss; naturally she said "no;" bravely he took it, anyway; angrily she put him away; scornfully she told him what she thought of such action, and meekly he stood for the same old bluff. "I am surprised and mad at you!" she said, and she looked every bit of it. "I don't think a gentleman would do such a thing; and now, if you are going to stay here this evening, I don't want you even to touch me, but let us sit here and talk like sensible people." Thoroughly cowed, he agreed. Seeing, however, that she had carried her little bluff too far and he was taking her seriously, she made use of a bright idea.

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 annual 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-casting 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. FECTOR'S OBSERVATIONS We will next begin in Colfax, Iowa. Here we found about 200 colored people located. Most of them are following mining as an industry. They have known here several years and are doing fairly well. Most of them own their own homes and have one church the Baptist church, which at present the pastor. Mrs. Battles runs a room nice room and boarding house. She owns some valuable property in this town. Her only child is Dr. Leo Welker, an alumn from Grinnell college and a graduate of Harvard, and is now practicing medicine in Nashville, Tenn., and is a teacher in Fisk university. He has recently taken himself one of the beautiful Tennessee damsels. Mr. Geo O. Terrell, D. G. M. of O. F., lives here and is doing well. He owns a nice home. J. C. Welch and Mr. J. W. Holmes are doing nicely and are representative men. Mr. Geo F. Shaw has a fine tailor and repair pantatorium. He formerly was in partnership with a white man, but has recently bought him out and now owns the entire shop himself. He is doing a very large business. Mr. Wm. Bell, Crede Taylor and J. H. Broadus are hustling men. We next stopped at Buxon, the colored metropolis of Iowa. Having written so much about this town and run so many cuts in former issues, I shall be very brief with my observations this time. Here is a mining town of about 5,000 people, of which fully 3,000 are colored. The town has five churches, three of which are colored and two white. Rev. F. B. Woodward is the pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist church. He has a large organization and is a fine minister. St. John's A. M. E. church is pastored by Rev. W. H. Wharton, who is a very eloquent preacher and has a large following. He has inaugurated a recreational and processional ceremony in opening and closing his meetings, with the choir clothed in robes, per- haps borrowed from the Episcopal idea, which is very beautiful and effective. They have an orchestra united with the choir and the music is very inspiring and interesting. J. A. P. Northcross is preacher at the Second Baptist church. He is a new man here, but has entered into the life and work of the camp. Oscar J. Peterson, manager and proprietor of the Hotel Buxton, is one of the successful business men here. This hotel is a credit to any race and an honor to zen of Buxton. Y. M. C. A. is a friend of Buxton. The new secretary, Mr. McGrew, has recently secured Mr. Townsend from New Jersey, who superintends the boys' department. Here the Y. M. C. A. young men are strong and well equipped and are a credit to our race.

Mills had been postmaster for years and all of his clerks were colored. Now all of them are white except one. This shows that the democratic party is not desirous of elevating or giving the colored man recognition in politics and the colored people of this country should not expect anything from this democratic president other than what we are getting and those Negro democrats who have supported that party should experience by the present status of things, not only in Buxton but other towns.

As the average individual does not know it only for the law of the state that we are permitted in these theaters of discrimination, and as it is we get inside of the door and no further and any Negro with any degree of pride and intelligence cannot, will not and should not accept such conditions, most especially where there awaits him a cordial reception with courteous treatment in the house and management to which I am now calling your attention. Wm. Wrs. Shepard is visiting her sister, Mrs. Gus Hall, at West Liberty, Iowa, this week. The Sewing Circle of the Third Baptist church held its annual sermon Sunday at 3 o'clock p. m., preached by Rev. F. K. Nicholson. It was a very fine service. TO THE EDITOR OF IOWA STATE BYSTANDER. Dear Editor: I am always glad of an opportunity to bring matter of this kind to public attention, because, after all, what we really need is to have the public wake up to existing conditions and I feel sure they will remedy them themselves. I hope and feel that every colored citizen of Des Moines will arise to this occasion and no longer lend their help to the Jim Crow theaters of Des Moines. As two-thirds, of our colored citizens of Des Moines have come here within the last ten years and to us who have resided here previous to that time, and in the days of the late Wm. Foster, owner and manager of the two existing theaters in the city at that time (Grand and Foster's), can readily remember as I call their attention to the fact that their money would purchase any seat in these buildings. Now with the passing of the late Wm. Foster, new managers have come in the theatrical field, who have seen fit to discriminate against us as a race, which fact we cannot assign any cause or reason, and somehow we cannot bring ourselves to feel that it is any more necessary now than in times past. As the present manager has said, if we give to him our presence in sufficient numbers to show our appreciation of his outlay of money he will in due time bring forth for our benefit what we have not had at any time in the past history of Des Moines, the employment of colored vaudeville and theatrical performers soon. We all should feel of this. Of course in order to do this it will mean an additional expenditure of a thousand or more dollars in the matter of stage settings, etc. Now is there any reason, my dear readers, why this cannot be so as in cities like Indianapolis, Chicago and others containing a Negro population. Let us all co-operate and endeavor to bring about this most edifying condition for our colored citizens of Des Moines. Now in conclusion I might say that there had been opened among us an amusement enterprise known as the Mystic theater, operating in a building owned and controlled by colored citizens of Des Moines, the manager of which the writer has known for some time and has not yet seen anything but that he is a large and broad-minded man of the type of our late Wm. Foster. He has started this work in our hide without an or favor of no man, and its to every right thinking individual to spend with him whatever he or she may choose along that line of entertainment. Thanking you in advance for service you will give. Respectfully, A. G. Rhodes, Jr. Subscribe for The Bystander and know what is going on in the other city among the race.

ICWA TELEPHONE COMPANY PARKS AND PLAZA BROOKLYN NEW YORK PARKS AND PLAZA BROOKLYN NEW YORK There is, in the connection of infections and fevers, an old idea that many still cling to of "inward fever." If there is fever there is fever, there is no such intelligent symptom as "inward fever," nor is there at this time any specific agent, save cool water, for checking fevers. Fever "break" when the body has worked up a sufficient reaction to overcome the harmful effect of the agent causing the disability. Fever is an indication of the body reaction to an invading infection, and unless it assumes high proportions we who try to do the right thing do not attempt to cool people by thirst or fever. The hills, the fever, the headache, the aching, the loss of appetite are all the result of one factor, and when the underlying cause is reached all the symptoms disappear. Patients with fever are allowed all the cold water they want unless it causes them to vomit. The water has several effects. It cools the system, dilutes the poisons floating through the body, and keeps them from being so irritating to the kidneys; it promotes perspiration, which also contains some of the poisonous material, and promotes the action of the bowels, cleansing them and often stimulates the appetite. Pain is valuable inasmuch as it attracts attention and enforces rest. Some pain is bound to be present in a fractured limb, or an abscess or in pleurisy. When the broken bone is properly set, the abscess opened, or the plura held quietly the pain subsides. It is pleasant to the patient to have this pain immediately relieved, but it is rather a high price to pay when we receive so much morphine and so many hypodermic injections. The dorsots who relieve pain most quickly are usually the ones who are most gifted at writing for morphine or some of it. In all disease process the element of time is a prominent factor and it is well to consider this, for when we are run down by the causing agent it is well to conserve our energy and strength. The kind hearted nuisance who knows a little something beyond all medical knowledge is still with us. The cures for diphtheria, the immediate remedy to break the fever, the sure cure for rheumatism. Why they do not get rich or sell these wonderful remedies or keep still when a person has quite enough to do to think of their illness is one of the wonders of the age and the price we pay for having friends.
