She made it perfectly clear why we should be interested in the right of suffrage for women and aroused much interest in the subject. Nearly every one in the house spoke on the subject.

Miss Flora Dunlap, president of the State Suffragette League, will be the speaker of the evening. Everybody is invited to attend. Fever Sores.

Some years ago the late Bishop Grant, in addressing a western audience, insubstance said: "The man who does not avail himself of the opportunity to purchase lands now offered him within the next fifty years will not be able to do so, so rapidly is the land being taken up." The people of Washington seem to have accepted the advice and everywhere all over "The City Beautiful" are making rapid strides to secure lands and homes. Within ten years sections of the city that prior to that time were the fair residences of the dominant race are today largely occupied by colored people as tenants and landlords. It may not be too much to say that this spirit of realty getting is greatly due to examples set by people from the west and southwest, who, coming here, could not stand to see all of their money going from them in rents, leaving no equity in return for it, commenced making payments on homes, the effect of which has been to cause others to do likewise, until today there are at least 25 per cent more people trying to own homes than there were ten years ago. The drug business in Washington gives, perhaps, the greatest examples of business thrift of about any other line. With a small beginning something like a decade ago there are now over twenty well equipped drug stores run and controlled by colored pharmacists. Pharmacy, unlike many other lines of business, requires a thorough knowledge of it before it can be entered into, hence to this is due the subsequent success of the pharmacist. There is a growing interest developing among the colored people along the line of incorporation industries. True, there have been some failures in these business attempts, as must, as a matter of fact, be expected, but the benefit derived from organized business has been manifold. No better example of it can be shown than in the National Life Benefit association, that writes all forms of life policies into the thousands; has large real estate holdings; owns many stocks and bonds, and gives employment to over fifty employees. The Laborers' and Mechanics' Realty company does a general realty business, giving a safe investment for its many depositors and substantial employment for its clerks. Out of this enterprise has grown the Industrial Savings bank, which has a splendid rating and is doing its share of the business. Time nor space will allow me to more than give cursory glances at the various activities of the 127,893 colored population of Washington, but it suffices to say that while they are doing well, there yet remains a vast field for improvement along all lines. It can be said for the Iowa people, and especially of those hailing from Des Moines, that they have made good, both in the halls of congress and in the common walks of life. Not only do the Iowa people feel a satisfied pride in the representatives from the Seventh congressional district, but it is an open secret in progressive circles that they feel that this district offers presidential timber of no mean caliber, and openly associates the name of Hon. Albert B. Cummins with those of the possibilities for 1916. Mr. T. E. Barton, Jr., is a junior in the M street high school. After finishing this course he expects to take a full course at Iowa State university, preparatory to taking up the practice of dentistry. Owing to the comity of states laterly established between Iowa and the District of Columbia, Mr. J. F. Blagburn, who, as you all know, was a pharmacist of merit, will soon be able to register as a full fledged pharmacist in the district. This will mean much to him in the race of life. Mr. J. Edward Moseley and family, Dr. P. M. Edwards, all of Philadelphia, were over Sabbath guests of Mr. and Mrs. I. E. Williamson. Mrs. Lucy A. Blagburn has accepted, for the ensuing year, the position of leading soprano in the Metropolitan A. M. E. church. This means much to her, as Washington has many fine singers. In the religious world Atty. I. E. Williamsurprised many of his friends by connecting himself with a poor Baptist mission, but recently organized and incorporated, through his efforts as the Antioch Baptist church. Williamson has been actively associated with the big A. M. E. churches for many years. Among the fraternal societies, I. E. Williamson is the president of and an active member in the American Workmen, an order that accepts all Americans on terms of equality. Mr. J. F. Blagburn is a very earnest and active member in a number of fraternal orders, but his greatest activities are, perhaps, best known in the order of Elks, one branch or lodge of which he is the exalted ruler. The order is quite strong here and stands in high favor with the public. Among the social functions none perhaps has been given in a long time where merriment and genial good will was the order of the occasion as was the one given by Columbia lodge, No. 85, I. B. P. O. E. W., Tuesday evening, the 4th instant, in honor of the exalted ruler, J. F. Blagburn, and his cabinet, at the private home of Mr. John H. Banks, one of the best known chefs in Washington, and a very prominent Elk. There were no females present to do honor to the occasion, but like the animal the order personified, it was a real "stag" party in honor of the exalted ruler and his cabinet. The exalted ruler being permitted to invite a friend, the writer received that high honor. Mr. Banks, the host, though on the shady side of two score and ten years, and also a great favorite among the boys, has never as yet yielded to the fascinations of female charms, though sought by many of them. His home on this occasion was one of exquisite taste and beauty. While the elk of the forest is a great drinker and feeder, these Elks of the lodge room proved themselves to be no exceptions to the rule at the convivial feastings on this occasion. But it can be said of this stag party, in honor of the exalted ruler, his cabinet and his invited friends, none had converted the hours of refreshments and festivities into intemperance or excess. DAVENPORT NOTES Atty. Geo. Woodson of Buxton, Iowa, spent a few hours in Davenport on Monday on legal business. Mr. Woodson stopped at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Green, where he met some of his old friends and passed a few pleasant moments with them.

Mrs. Flora Mitchell left Tuesday for Little Rock, Arkansas, to be at the bedside of a very sick daughter, Mrs. Ella Jones. The E. L. D. club will give a "Mum Social" at the A. M. E. church January 28, 1914. Mrs. Geo Hawkins is reported quite ill at her residence on Wilson avenue. Rev. T. B. Stovall delivered an excellent sermon on "Remembrance that inspires."

A comedy, entitled "Too Much Married," will be repeated at the A. M. E. church, under the auspices of the Sunday school, February 11, 1914. This is a unique little play and those who saw it are anxious to have it repeated. Mr. Howard James remains quite ill. Among the graduates from the grammar schools there are Ross Hopkins and Harold McGaw. They will both enter high school, which makes fourteen colored students in the Davenport high school. Mrs. Ben Bright is now on her annual tour for the Order of the Eastern Star, as grand matron. She will visit every lodge in this state. OTTUNWA IOWA.

Last Thursday was observed as temperance day all over the Spe. --- special meetings were held all over the city at the various churches, special services being held at the Baptist church in the evening. A large attendance was present. On Friday the ladies continued the temperance movement at the Aid society and evening also. Mrs. J. D. Reeler gave a very interesting talk, in which she showed the vital uses and results from the use of liquor. And continuing with the discussion, Mrs. Taylor, like the good Samaritan, read a very interesting article on temperance. This entertainment was under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid society. A large crowd was out to witness the affair. Scarcely enough seats could be found to accommodate the crowd. Refreshments were served by the committee and a neat sum was cleared for the ladies. Mr. James Mitchell while in the city was the guest of his sister, Mrs. Maud M. Brewton. A special supper was prepared, where all of the family sat down together to eat one meal. This has never happened before in ten years. Those present were Mr. Perry Mitchell, father, Mr. James Mitchell, Fred Mitchell, John Mitchell, Harry Mitchell and Mrs. Maud M. Brewton and husband, Mr. Charlie Brewton Cecil and Theodora Brewton, two children. This is to be long remembered by the family. Mr. John Spencer of Grinnell addressed the Epworth League on Sunday evening, which was very interesting, and we regret very much that the time was so short that he couldn't talk any longer. Following the address Mrs. Brewton, our president of the league, made a very touching talk to the league. Her subject was based on "What Would Jesus Do? or Walking in His Steps." This indeed was helpful to all who heard it and a motto for every member of the league and church. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Allen entertained Mr. John Spencer for lunch on Friday evening.

The committee also will give special atten- ton to the economic changes in meat production and distribution brought about through the centralizing of slaughtering and meat preparations in large packing establishments, and the changes in transportation and sfmilar matters which have resulted from this centralization and other causes, the economle possibility of communal and community effort tn cattle raising and the advantages of establishing local or municipal abattoirs will also be fn vestigated.

It was in full bloom when Coronado, in 1542, came across it on fan exploring tour northward from Merfco. He found the Pueblo Indians ving then what they are doing today and doing it in the same fasbion, ‘and the houses on the rocky fslands that rise several hundred feet out of the plains are the same houses that Coronado'a eye rested on as he camo on the Indian city. St, Augustine, which ts often refer- red to as the oldest elty in the United States, was not discovered until 1565, when Menender came on Florida while chasing a French ship under Rebault. Years before Coronado found {t, Acoma was a recognized ‘abode of the Pueblo Indians. The Pueblos told Coronado that their first city was on Katzimo, the rocky island three miles away, which 1s also called the “Enchanted Mesa.” Many years ago, they told the Spanish explorer, the original Acoma rested on the top of Katzimo. One day, while all but three women vere in the plains below the table- land, a great cliff fell, destroying the trail from the plains to the ancient tity. ‘The Indians took this an ind! cation of the great spirit’s displeasure over something they had done and to punfsh them bad cut off the path to thelr city. Instead of clearing the path and returning to thelr old homes on top of Katzimo the Pueblos went to the adjoining tableland and there set up the present city of Acoma, the same clty that Coronado visited in 1542. . ‘The Pueblos look at the old city on Its rock site nearly 400 feet In the Air asa sacred place, and woe to the person caught trying to penetrate Its precinets. The present city of Acoma ts on a plateau that rises 250 feet out of the arid plains of New Mexico. The sides of the plateau, a mass of brown sand- stone, are almost straight. To get to the top one must climb a crude stair way cut In the stone. On top one will find three or four rows of primitive apartment houses. ‘These houses are three stories high and are built on each side of streets 1,000 feet long. The houses follow a line that seems even straighter than the building line In big eltfes, since the houses are all of the same type of architecture and are bullt up close to the line. The streets, too, are 100 feet wide, which may be another feature that modern city bullders may have copled from the red men of the southwest. ‘One may be sure that the Pueblos aid not get the idea of broad streets and building lnes from the white men's cities, for 100 foot streets and building lines were tald down years and years before pale faces came across the ocean. ‘These things were a part of Acoma when Coronado called on the Pueblos in 1542. Anoth- er feature of this quaint clty ts that the houses have flat roofs. ‘The upper Moors are reached by outside stair- ways In the shape of ladders. ‘The first Moor is the longest. The second floor is ten feet shorter than the first and the third floor is ten feet shorter than the second. This ten feet serveo as yards for each of the apartments. In summer fhe Indian and his famfly use this yard for sleeping. In winter he sleeps indoors. Houses are built of mud, ordinary New Mexico mud, shaped into blocks and baked hard.

And in the discussion it puts forth these pertinent truths: "The business of safeguarding the health of the community, in its negro as well as its white sections, is that of self preservation and not sentiment or philanthropy." The disease germ is the original democrat. It ignores the boundary line of race, of wealth and of station, as well as of more geography. It knows no prejudices, inherited or acquired. It is murderously impartial in its depredations. You may not believe you are your brother's keeper, and you may be a triflic cynical about your 'duty,' to the negro. But you can hardly be negligent about your duty to your own child, and your own health personally, and keep a clean conscience." The Post for years has been stressing the importance of this very question for all southern cities. It has repeatedly urged upon the people of Houston that they cannot afford, even from the selfish point of view, to ignore the living conditions of the nego population. The negroes are the domestic servants of the servant-employing class of the southern cities. The negroes are a part of the life of the south, and will always be, and even if the white who employ them are not concerned in philanthropy at all, they owe it to themselves to have a deep concern for everything affecting the health and morals of the nego people. The nobler part is, of course, to realize in a broad and sympathetic sense our obligation to aid the negroes to better standards of living, because they are in so many respects depend upon the whites and because they so implicitly rely upon the whites. It will be to our everlasting honor and glory if history shall be able to say of us that we accepted the problems the war left us, and worked them out kindly, intelligently and well, but if we are concerned only for our own welfare, then it will be secondary philantropy for us to see that living conditions among the negroes are such that they will not menace the health and prosperity of the white people. Negroes living amid insanitary conditions in southern cities are going to suffer the hardships of poverty and disease, they are going to suffer contamination and destruction in a moral sense, they are going to be a heavy consuming and inefficient element of population. But the whites will not be able to escape the consequences. They will have to bear the economic losses that a large and inefficient mass is certain to inflict, they will be victimized by the diseases that spread death and disaster among poorly housed and miserably environed human beings, and they will not escape the deadly blight of the immorality and vice that thrive among the ignorant, the desperate and the neglected poor. The vital statistics of every southern city reveal the inevitable consequence of inefficiency to conditions among the negroes—the servant class that brings into well-kept homes the deadly germs that multiply amid the miserable conditions that afflict the negro sections of so many southern cities.—Houston (Tex.) Post. Golf enthusiasts in Massachusetts yearly spend about $800,000 on the game. The 300 striking nego students of Shaw university at Raleigh, N. C., forwarded a memorial to the trustees of the institution in New York asking that Dr. Charles Meresive, president of the institution, be removed and a negro be put in his place. President Meresive, backed by southern white members of the faculty, issued an ultimatum ordering all rebellious students to resume their places at once, under penalty of expulsion. During the holiday a student married, against the college rules, and was dismissed. The boys asked to be heard through a committee. Dr Meresive refused to receive the committee, but agreed to hear any individual. The strike resulted.

For the first time since 1905, a colored boy is among the seator officers at Harvard. Alexander Louis Jackson of Englewood, N. J., was chosen class orator at the 1914 election a few days ago, and will write and deliver the oration, which is one of the principal parts of the exercises in Sanders theater on the morning of class day. Jackson has been a member of the varsity track teams for two seasons. He is one of the best hurdlers now in the eastern colleges, particularly good over the high hurdles, but fast in both events, and has won many points for the Crimson teams in various meets. He has not been particularly prominent in other ways during his college course. He has won good grades, though he is not in the honor class. At Andover he won several prizes in public speaking, but at Harvard he has been so much occupied with other affairs that he has not tried for the prizes in speaking, though he has taken some of the courses offered. He is preparing for a teaching position in some one of the negro schools of the south. It is not the first time that a negro has been honored by election to such office at Harvard. The last time was with the class of 1905, when William Clarence Matthews, a clever baseball player, was chosen a member of the class day committee. In the years before that, the election of negro orators was quite frequent with the college classes. William H. Lewis, who has since served as assistant attorney general of the United States, was a commencement speaker on his graduation from the law school in 1895. He was not a graduate of Harvard college, but had his college education at Amherst, where he was graduated in 1892. There are in the southern states 9,000,000 negroes, writes Booker T. Washington. There are 3,000,000 negro children of school age. Fifty-three per cent., or more than half, never go to school. Many of these negro children, particularly in the country district, are in school only from three to four months in the year. I am trying to get the white people to see that, both from an economic point of view and as a matter of justice and fair play, these conditions must be changed. I am trying to get the white people to see that sending ignorant negroes to jails and penitentiaries, putting them in the chain gang, hanging and lynching them does not civilize, but on the contrary, though it brutalizes the negro, it at the same time blunts and dulls the conscience of the white man. I want the white people to see that it is unfair to expect a black man who goes to school only three months in the year to produce as much on the farm as a white man who has been in school eight or nine months in the year; that it is unjust to let the negro remain ignorant, with nothing between him and the temptation to fill his body with whisky and cocaine, and then expect him, in his ignorance, to be able to know the law and be able to exercise that degree of self-control which shall enable him to keep it. I am trying to get the white people to realize that since no color line is drawn in the punishment for crime, no color line should be drawn in the preparation of life, in the kind of education, in other words, that makes for useful, clean living. The men who don't go to jail are either too good, or too rich. So far as the south is concerned the problem is in process of wholesome an certain solution. The future of the negro has never seemed so promising and bright. As a laborer, citizen and a man the negro, under this-bright and beneficient policy, has advanced and is advancing day by day. There are no greater people in the history of nations than the people of the south. And in view of the history of the Civil war and of the reconstruction period that followed, the southern people have never been greater and wiser than in their present splendid attitude toward their former slaves.-Chicago American. Colored babies are often regarded as "cuter," if anything, than white babies. A newspaper for negroes, The Crisis, notes the fact that at a recent baby show held in Fall River, the first prize was won by a one-year-old colored baby, the only colored entrant in the contest. Fuel oil consumption by the United States navy this year is estimated at 30,000,000 gallons.

NOURISHMENT IN DATE NOURISHMENT IN DATE ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE OF NATURE'S FOODS. Excellent When Eaten Raw. Though There Are Many Approved Meth- ods of Cooking Them—Make Dainty Filling for Sandwich. An old legend relates that one of the Arab chieffaites supplied each of his soldiers with a bag of dates and a loaf of barley bread and that with this equipment they started off on a ten days' march. Because of its very high sugar content the date offers in a condensed form an unusual amount of energy. It is a particularly good sweet for children, much more to be preferred than artificial candy. Dates are most frequently eaten raw, but are *equally good in many* cooked forms, as many of the following recipes will indicate. When combined with nuts and used with milk they form, indeed, a complete meal, as vegetarians have often proved. Dates With Cereal.—Wash a pound of dates and let them stand in a pint of water overnight. Let them come to a boll, then simmer gently for a few minutes, flavoring with a few drops of lemon or lime or orange juice. Remove the fruit, add a little sugar to the liquid left in the saucepan and simmer until thickened. Pour over the fruit and serve cold. Date Sandwiches. — Chop stoned dates until soft enough to spread. Use thin slices of buttered bread and make sandwiches. Instead of buttering the bread one may substitute finely chopped nuts, if desired. These sandwiches will make a most satisfying bunche Date Gems — Stone and chop half a cup of dates. Beat separately the yolk and white of one egg. Add the yolk to the dates, with a pinch of salt, a half pint sweet milk, two scant cups of four, into which two teaspoonfuls of baking powder have been sifted. Add a tablespoonful of oil or butter and beat in the whipped white of egg. Bake briskly for 20 minutes. Spliced Apples With Merlingue Pare and core six large apples and arrange in a baking dish. Mix three fourths of a cupful of sugar, one tea spoonful of cinnamon and one fourth of a teaspoonful of salt; fill the cavities. Add one-fourth cupful of water and bake until the apples are soft, basting frequently with the sauce. Remove from the oven and cool slightly pile meringue on the top of each apple, return to the oven, bake eight minutes. Cool and serve with cream or custard sauce. For the meringue, beat the whites of two eggs until stiff and add very gradually, while beating constantly four tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar; add one-half teaspoonful of vanilla Delicious Celery Soup Boil the green leaves, stalks, roots and parts of celery not desirable for the table in water and a little salt until tender; press through a sleeve, add this to the chicken or turkey bones from a roast fowl and boil about 30 minutes; the longer you cook it the stronger your soup will be. Drain and to this stock add enough flour and butter rubbed together to make a creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper. If there are a few stewed tomatoes left over from a meal, I add about two tablespoonfuls, which some of the family think a great improvement. However, either way served, with or without whipped cream, is very delicious. This makes an excellent course for a luncheon. Ox-Tall Soup Cut one oxtail into joints and fry brown in good dripping. Slice three onions and two carrots and fry in the same dripping when the oxtail has been taken out. Tie these with thyme and parsely in a cheese cloth bag and drop into a soup pot containing four quarts of water. Put in the oxtail and one pound of beef cut into fine strips. Let slammer several hours. Grate over these two carrots, with a half teaspoonful of pepper, a spoonful of salt and, if liked, a little celery seed. Strain and thicken with brown flour. Boll 15 minutes. Floor: Polisher. A serviceable brush of good weight for polishing floors may be made out of an old discarded carpet sweeper, says Good Housekeeping. Remove the brush and place a brick inside, fastening it by wires to keep it from slipping. Then cover the sweeper all over with a piece of heavy carpet. The swing of the handle will give the brush an easy motion and lessen, to a considerable extent, the arduous work of polishing the floors. Apple Macedoine. Cut a thick slice off the stem end of red apples, core and remove the pulp with a potato ball cutter. Cook one-half cupful of sugar with one cupful of water. Add clean rose geranium leaves and apple balls; cook until the balls are tender. When the sirup is cold add the juice of one lemon and a couple of peaches sliced into small pieces. Fill the apple shells with the mixture and serve very cold as a first course at a luncheon. Cheap Pudding. Into a quart of water stir a pinch of salt and three tablespoonfuls of tapoca and boil until the tapoca is clear. Then put in a cup of dark brown sugar, boil for a minute longer, sir in a cupful of chopped nuts and set aside to cool. While still warm flavor with vanilla. When cold and jellylike serve with cream. Smothered Chicken Open the chicken as for broiling Put into pan with a little water. Season with butter, pepper and salt. Cover with another pan and cook till done Take off cover and brown. Make a gravy in pan of milk and browned flour. Pour over chicken. Potato for Brown Shoes A slice of raw potato rubbed over brown shoes before the polish is applied will brighten the feather and remove statis.

Armstrong, the new head coach, is to act practically as graduate manager, and Nickalls, the English coach who favors the Bob Cooke stroke will be retained. FOOTBALL --- The action of Wesleyan in declining to meet Yale in football in 1913 has won approval from a number of the followers of the game at the smaller eastern universities. Many continental European players are now taking part in first-class association football games in England, and an Italian, Attilio Frezia, from Genoa, will be the latest recruit.

HIS BURGLAR HUNT PIRACY NOT KILLED Under the Circumstances It Is Probably Just as Well It Was Fruitless. It was in the mouth of November. Darkness was closing in on the city as I returned from work. Entering my home, I noticed the street had a deserted, wintry appearance. The men in my neighborhood, nearly all of them, work nightwork, and many were leaving their homes as I was entering mine. On this particular evening one of my neighbors whose husband had already left for work, told me as I was entering my home that she was very frightened, for when her husband went to work a stranger who had been standing at the corner had followed him. I told her that it was doubtless nothing at which to be frightened, but in case the stranger again appeared in the neighborhood to let me know, and I would watch him. About five minutes later I happened to look from my parlor window and saw a stranger standing in front of my home, apparently watching it. I cried him for a few minutes, then went on the north to see what he wanted. As soon as he saw me he asked if I knew a milkman by the name of Harkness. I told him that I was positive there was no one by that name living on the street. At this he went away. Several of the woman in the neighborhood, especially those whose husbands were at work, told me that he was the man who had been around earlier in the evening. They were nervous by this time, but I asked them to call me if he returned and I would have the police take him in custody. About half an hour later Mrs. Hill, two doors above me, whose husband was also one of the night tollers, rang my bell and informed me that she had just come face to face with the intruder in her back yard. There is an alley running back of our homes which turns at the end houses back on to the street. Although I am no hero, or a particularly brave man, this fellow's persistence nettled me, so, telling Mrs. Hill to telephone the police I started for the alley. I searched the alley thoroughly, but no trace of him could I find. The policeman arrived, and together we searched the house, then again through the alley. As we emerged on the street again, one of my neighbors across the street said that he had been on her front porch peering in her parlor window. We were about to search the neighborhood thoroughly, when a young man, one of my neighbor's sons, asked me what the trouble was. When I told him he said a man had just asked him the same question, and a bystander near had referred the stranger to a house two squares away. Of course I thought this ended it, as apparently he was only seeking the person he had asked for, and that my neighbors had imagined some of the happenings. The policeman, however, said: "We'll follow this up." After numerous inquiries we found a family by the name of Darkness, the descriptions tallying with the stranger's. When we asked them if they had any visitors, they first denied it, and later the lady of the house told us that her brother, whom she hadn't seen for four years, had paid her a visit. She called him out, and identified him as the men that had been loitering around. He denied. However, being in anybody's sard, and, we, attributing it to the nervousness of the women, departed. We told the neighbors of our findings, and although they wished to have him arrested, the policeman said that we better leave it go, as he would hardly ever return to that neighborhood. About a week later as I picked up a newspaper I started when I saw the stranger's picture on the front page. I was almost struck speechless with astonishment, however, by the statement under the picture, which was to the effect that the stranger was no other than a desperate criminal, who had a record of always shooting on the slightest excuse. The day before, in a fierce fight up the state, he had been killed and a half dozen police wounded, some of them probably mortally, in a pitched battle between them. When I told my neighbors about it, one of them said that she had quite a large sum of money in her home, that her husband had brought from a beneficial organization and to put it in the bank the next day. I went around to see Harkness, the milkman, but I found the house empty and the neighbors said he had moved the week before after occupying the house for only two weeks. The police searched the empty house, but found nothing. Whether they were accomplices or relatives, no one knows. I often wonder what would have happened if I had cornered him before the policeman arrived, as I had been unarmed and would have been no match for the desperado. Unpopular Sport. "A man should be judged, not so much by what he accomplishes as by what he tries to accomplish." "That's right. When a fellow tries to play a practical joke on me and fails I think he's just as big a fool as if he had succeeded." Real Cigar. This "Ever smoke an igorot cigar?" asks Power. "Well, these igorots, in the Philippine islands, make a cigar that in one respect is like the old-time Christmas plum pudding—it lasts a week. It's fifteen inches long and three to five inches thick. Old man Ig, rolls the cig, and smokes it an hour; then Mrs. Ig, and all the little Igs, take their turns. By about the fourth day it must need a cuspidor attachment to keep it in operation. One smoke like this would last some people a lifetime." --- Buccaneers Still at Work in a Spasmodic Way. Trade. However. Does Not Flourish as It Did in the Days of Old—Some Cases in Comparatively Recent Years. Not long ago a London man was sentenced to penal servitude for life for the crime of piracy. It sounds preposterous to talk of the black flag in these days of 40,000-ton liners and wireless telegraphy, yet the bald fact remains that piracy is by no means an extinct offense. This modern buccooner was a steward who, after serving in various ships, was stranded at Callao, in Peru. There he picked up with a man named Sherratt, and the two shipped aboard a small schooner, the Neva Tigre. They, with the captain and mate, composed the whole crew. A week out from port these two soundrels attacked the captain and mate with an axe and gun and literally made them walk the plank in the most approved eighteenth century fashion. They then renamed the vessel White Rose, and set sail for nowhere in particular. Neither knew the first principles of navigation, so eventually they ran ashore in the Gilbert Islands, where they were promptly arrested. The most daring case of piracy on record for years past occurred aboard the Alaska-Pacific liner Buckman, when two armed passengers made a deliberate attempt to seize the big ship and her cargo. One of them, named Thomas, took a revolver, went into the cabin, and fatally shot Captain Wood, then ran on deck to help his accomplice, whom he had left to tackle the mate on the bridge. But the mate had been too quick for the batee, and Thomas reached the deck to find his accomplice in irons. He at once seized a lifeboy and jumped overboard. As he was never seen again he was, presumably, drowned. Aboard the Italian transatlantic finer Margherita there was a few years ago a regular Captain Kettle battle. The steamer, after leaving Trieste, called at Messina, and there 22 Spillans stowed themselves away. As soon as the Margherita was out of sight of land they rushed on the deck in a body and attacked the crew. They were surrounded and driven below, but at night broke out again and rushed the officers quarters. The crew armed themselves with revolvers and a fierce fight raged for over an hour. Two of the mutineers were killed, a number were wounded and four sailors were badly hurt. At last the pirates were driven into the forecastle, and while the crew stood guard the vessel steamed hard for Algiers, where the police took the ruffians into custody. The steamer Sophia was crossing the Black Sea from Odessa to Korthion, and the captain and passengers had just sat down to supper in the saloon when three young men, masked and armed, appeared in the doorway and covered them, bidding them not to move on pain $£ death. At the same time two others seized the man at the wheel and forced him to turn the vessel back to Odessa. Others—there were 18 in all—opened the safe and took out $25,000, the property of a Russian bank. They then robbed the passengers of all they possessed, disabled the engines, destroyed one boat, and, taking the other two, escaped. There is, or was a few months ago, still in use a Danish schooner named Emanuel, believed to be the oldest vessel afloat. She was built in 1749 and for years sailed the Caribbean Sea under the black flag—Stray Storles. Clouds Hypnotized by Earth Clouds Hypnotize by Earth. The very latest theory concerning the clouds is that they are magnetized by the earth. Many scientists believe that the changes in the earth's magnetic force have much to do with the shape, course, gyrations and general conduct of the clouds. The view was first published by a Swedish physician, Birkland, and observations at the Lyons observatory seem to support it. These observations have been centered upon clouds called "cirril," which float at a very great height and sometimes appear like parallel filaments and at other times as curls of hair. They often produce halos, and their antics, it is said, are due to variations in the earth's magnetism. The Word Mother There is no more beautiful word in the English language than that of "mother," and it is remarkable that it is almost the same in all other languages. In fact, it is an almost universal word, so that a child pronouncing the word in any language could be understood in almost any other lan- here are a few of the names: "Madr," in Persian; "matr," in Sanskrit; "meer," in Greek; "mater," in Latin; "madre," in Italian; "mere," in French; "moder," in Swedish; "moder" in Danish; "moader," in Dutch; "mutter," in German; "mater," in Russian, and "matah," in Celtic.

D. ‘There is a great deal of specula- tion about us after we pass out of this life. Every man is anxious to stay here as long imams as possible and oe J to be as useful as (PSB EEE possible to his ie ; family and seci- Ru cty, if he has the J Pag) right stuf in ba] him. There ‘are ‘ a number of ways | in which @ man BBB can live after .ho = ie dead. He will always live in the memory of those who love him; if he be gifted, bis work will ever live, if it be worthy; the names of Tennyson, Shakespeare, Edison, Westinghouse’ and Morse will never die. Few of us are great so far as the world generally is concerned; most of us are greater than people give us credit for being; all of us would make the world happy if we knew how. Very few people are mean; some have allowed disappointments to sour their disposition; others feel that, they are the buffers of fate; some have no friends in whom they ean confide and ‘are mistrustful; but on the whole men fare pretty square and fair, Get to know a man's real soul and you will find qualities like gems hidden from the public gaze, People keep the best side of themselves protected from criticism and injury. Alll of us want to do good and cer- tainly most of us can. The most practical way to do some good is to protect those who are dependent up- on us after we are gone. It is use- less to say, “If I die.” Say, "When T die”; for all things born ‘in time must perish and there is no “if” nor hut" in this matter—you, like all the rest, are going. The way to live after death is to let your family feel your presence by/ something substantial; they carnot live on love and memory. Some poor fellows imagine that if they leave a few hundred dollars levery ran in the country will be after his widow. If they marry your widow they only compliment you, and surely ‘a man would not be 80 selfish as to want a woman to be thinking about him all the rest of her days, But if you want her to cherish your memory for goodness sake leave her some- thing tc do it on. As a matter of fact the less a woman has the more likely she is to marry the first scala- wag that comes along, hecause she is lonesome and dependent; now unless a man leaves his wife in such shape that she eay be free from annoyances and bills he does her a great injury. ‘A woman’s chances of marriage de- ferease as her years increase, and if ‘she has paid you the compliment to be loyal and true you owe it to her to be cqually as complimentary by providing for her after you are gone It makes a man feel better to be fable to pass an insurance examina. ‘tion; it makes his passing beyond 2 little easier because he knows that his power of protection does not pass with him and he still lives in deed Jand memory. Now the great insur ance companies have made it pos: sible for every man to be sure that hhe will be a factor in the life of his widow; if a woman respect you sh will not let some one spend your mon ey; if she love you, and her living with you, with all your faults, prove this, she ‘will not care less for you i your last illness, but do all she cat to help you because she knows wher you are gone she can pay the bills You can get a policy from companies from 5, cents a week to $10,000 year ahd every self-respecting mat ‘ought to have one. I sce cases ever now and then where these peopl come in with a check, and it is like w angle of merey pouring balm over wounded soul and is like the hand o the dead reaching out assistance, lik ‘a voice from heaven telling of love and thought. Get a policy; put your wife and family in the respectable class; live after you are dead anc make your widow as attractive a: possible; the better you are to hei now the better youw ant to be to het after you ure dead.
