REPUBILCAN ARE VICTORS FOR THE BAD YOU DO READ OTHER PAPERS FOR THE GOOD YOU DO READ THE BYSTANDER XXVI NO. 19 REPU G.O.P. Triumphs In "For some reason," he says, "conditions in many Southern States are such that there is not even a free Government, and apparently those conditions have escaped the attention of Congress and the public. There are conditions in the chapter 20 of five people who do not even participate in the elections, and in the State of Virginia. Mr. Lockwood takes the position that the whole suffrage situation should be adjusted. "The eleven States of the old South, plus Oklahoma, have fewer voters than Illinois, but five times the representation in Congress and in the Electoral College." In Mississippi and South Carolina only one person in thirty votes, while in Indiana one in four votes. This does not take in account the new woman vote. The situation should be cleared up. At present the eleven Southern States have a representation in the House of 104 members. How much this membership could be cut has not been figured, as the Committee on Census prefers to be announced. It is said however, in some quarters that a reduction of one third could be made. Touring Japan Nashville, Tenn.-News has just reached this city from Rev. Henry A. Boyd, the accredited delegated of the Baptists of this country to the World's Sunday school convention, that the eighth annual session of that august body has just come to a close and that much work is in the ten days of modernization which was effected upon the modernized Sunday school methods. According to the program handed out before the convention opened, Rev. Boyd was to appear four times, thus giving the Negro Baptists of the United States much attention and an cavious place in the program of the World's Sunday school work. Rev. Mr. Boyd and his party will spend ten days touring Japan and will then tour towards the west. Immigrant and Negro Labor The great tide of immigration now setting in from Europe, and the Southern influx along the Mexican border, with their bearing upon Negro labor in both sections, are receiving careful attention from Negro leaders. The result is that the Negro labor in the colored press, is full of encouragement to all who wish the Negro well. There is a marked absence of complaint or self-pity in considering this new competition. Negro labor is merely warned that increased efficiency in production, and greater thrift, are necessary if advantages are to be held. North or South. There is no way, the leaders urge, for any reason to perma- tize the labor by temporary estances except by raising his own standards of faithfulness and efficiency. A XXVI NO.19 Harding and Coolidge were swept into office in the presidential election Tuesday by one of the greatest Republican landslides in the history of the nation. Cox and Roosevelt, the Democratic nominees and defenders of the Wilson League of Nations, were buried beneath an avalanche of unprecedented Republican pluralities from coast to coast. Senator Albert B. Cummins has been returned to the senate; the entire state ticket was elected, the legislature Representation And The South Talk of Reapportioning Quotas of Congressmen as a Result of the New Census. With the result of the 1920 census almost in sight, and some chance of a Republican Administration in charge at Washington, there is already agitation over reapportioning the membership of the House of Representatives. The idea at present seems to be not to enlarge the membership, which is at present 435. It is urged that already the House has become physically too unwieldy to allow efficient work. It requires nearly three-quarters of an hour to call the roll. When the membership was increased, after the 1910 census, from 393 to 425, it was necessary to take out the desks in the House and replace them with seats. The hall is now almost filled to capacity. Several schemas are suggested for reapportionment. Under the 1910 arrangement a member represents 211,877 of the total population of the country. Each Congressional district is supposed to contain that many persons or less. There is also an additional representative for each factional part of 211,877. As it works out, each member today represents an average of 210,504 persons. The first plan is to increase that number. Another plan suggested in the past by Republicans, and which is now being revived again, is to cut the Southern membership by apportioning all representation on the basis of the Presidential vote instead of upon the basis of population. Manifestly, this will be vigorously fought by Southern members, for it would result in a much greater reduction in the Southern delegations than in those of the Northern States, and Republicans would gain a great advantage over Democrats in point of numbers, but already there has been a proposal to the House Committee on Census that the number of representatives from Southern States, where Negroes are disfranchised by various laws, be reduced. Article 1. Section 2. of the Constitution originally provided that representatives shall be apportioned among the several states "according to their respective numbers." But See Chapter the Fourteenth Amendment altered this principle that the right to vote is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State being 21 years of age and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the same proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens 21 years of age in such State." Out of an estimated population of the country for 1919 of 106,871,294 persons and eleven States of the "Solid South" had 25,758,494 persons, practically a fifth of the nation. But out of the total Presidential vote of 18,528,743 in 1916, these Eleven States cast only 1,786,108 ballots. It will be seen that the Southern States are much embarrassed if the representations were placed upon a voting basis. The political cast of the situation is emphasized when it is seen that in 1916 Presidential election 1,328,432 for the Republican candidate, Justice Hughes. will be overwhelmingly Republican and a solid Republican delegation will go to the national house of representatives. The G. O. P. candidates on the county ticket were elected with the exception of Charles M. Saverude, incumbent, who was defeated by the World War Hero, former Chaplain Winifred E. Robb. The election was a repudiation of Woodrow Wilson and his administration and was a triumph for Americanism. Subtraction of both Republican and Democratic vote in Tennessee and North Carolina, the only Southern States where Republicanism has proved any factor in the past, makes the votes in the nine other Southern States Democratic, 1,007,001; Republican 220,319. George B. Lockwood, editor of the National Republican, who lastly appeared before the Senatorial Committee investigating campaign expenditures, is much interested in the Southern situation. DES MOINES, IOWA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1920. WARREN G. HARDING © EDMONSTON. Health In The Schools Fifty-eight per cent of the teachers of the United States are trying to teach their pupils to care for their teeth, according to statistics recently prepared by the Federal Bureau of Education. Thirty-two per cent of the schools use textbooks or some sort ofassessments to help their teeth, 14 per cent use the Modern Health Crusade of the Anti-Tuberculosis Association, and 19 per cent weigh and measure the children according to plans suggested by the Bureau of Education and the Child Health Organization ofAmerica. In other words, 15.6 per cent of the 760,563 children in schools reporting were weighed and measured at some time or times during the year. Of the children, 56 per cent of same schools have medical inspection, and only twenty-nine schools, less than 1 per cent, have nutritional clinics and feeding. Utah stands at the head of the list of states in this respect, with 72 per cent of the children weighing 81 per cent of the children are weighed. Iowa is second with 54 per cent of the schools weighing 51 per cent of her children. Minnesota is third with 31 per cent of her schools weighing 46 per cent of the children. Other states in their order are Indiana, California, Pennsylvania, Illinois and New York. At the foot of the list is Oklahoma with only four per cent of the schools weighing 0.4 per cent of the children engaged with 5 per cent of the schools weighing 1.2 per cent of the children Ohio is third from the foot with 2 per cent, while Nebraska, West Virginia, Virginia, Mississippi, Michigan and Alabama are not much better. Minimum Wage For Teachers Minimum Wage For Teachers Negro Teachers Benefited By the New Law Frankfort, Ky.-Seventy-five dollars a mouth has been fixed by the state of Kentucky as the minimum salary for schools teachers, either white or colored students, so what the state has control. The same examinations are required for teachers of both races, as well as the same length of term in the schools. These laws cover all rural public schools, where efficiency is being developed among both teachers and pupils.

The county boards bear the main expense, giving nearly double the state's appropriation to the 14 county training schools alone. The Sister and the Vocalist contribute $7,000 to the same schools. The state Board also employs a colored state supervisor of teacher-training, and a colored illiteracy worker. Five six-weeks summer schools for teachers were held this year with a total attendance of over 800. The General Education Board supplemented these efforts by sending 85 teachers to the Tuskegee Summer School, and 25 industrial teachers to the school at the Tuskegee Industrial School. They covered the 25 counties having James industrial teachers. Four-weeks schools were held by the co-operation of state and county boards. The Home Makers' Clubs, aided by the General Education Board in co-operation with state authorities, are also building up Negro character and homes. Fifteen thousand women and girls have been enrolled the past year, and 29,000 school children, in 28 counties. Figures show little of the work done; but 412,000 quarts of fruits and vegetables canned—an estimated saving of $64,000—for the training of juveniles in standard standards of thrift and comfort. The Negroes and their local white friends gave $43,000 for school improvement; 35 schools have qualified for help from the Rosenwald Fund; and 34 have lengthened their term by two months.

Shellton, Owners 1 Price Five Cents Negro Business Men Hear White Speakers A successful meeting of the Alabama Negro Business League is reported at Gadman, Ala., and which appreciated addresses of the Co. Harford, the student of the Gadson Chamber of Commerce, and by Mrs. Mathia, state lecturer during the war for the Alabama Bankers Association, and well known both for her own business success and for her interest in the Negroes. She congratulated them on their large and growing bank accounts; and in urging further investments in land and homes advised colored real-estate mea to watch thrifty Negroes as closely as white automobile salesmen do, and to "go after prospects" with the same enthusiasm. Col. Food is quoted as commending the Negro's "unprecedented prowess" and adding that a race which had proved itself so progressive could not long be denied the ballot, many Negroes in the state having already attained to that right by reason of their good citizenship. Dr. Moton of Tuskegee, made the main address. He disclaimed for his people all desire to mingle with whites, but said "We do want equal accommodation, opportunities, justice protection, and an impartial administration of the laws." $500 Offered For Conviction NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE OFFERS $500 REWARD FOR LYNCHERS.

The Dearborn Independent prints an interesting little story in regard to Bishop Matthew Wesley Clair, who was elevated to the episcopacy at the Meth- odist general conference held in Des Moines last May. The story shows how this talented Negro carly in life gave evidence of, the persistency and per spicuity which have been prime fac- tors in his ultimate success. Here is the story: On ‘In Decémber, 1882, a black boy, 17 years old, was trying to make bis way ack to ‘his home and birthplace at Union, W. Va., from Toledo, 0., where he had been a laborer on public works and in coal mines, but he decided to spend Christmas in Charleston, ” The chief reason that impelled him to stop at the Inter town was because he ran out of funds at that point. Instead of waiting for a position, he togk the first job which presented ’ itself—that of Gishwasher at the Hale house, On the princely wage of $2 a week he soon was enabled to proceed on his way. The boy who found means to make his way at 17 years of age has succeeded in making his way ever since. On May 20, 1920, ho was elected by the recent gen: eral ‘conference at Des Moines, Iowa, by 569 votes out of a total of 734 votes cast,'a bishop of the Methodist Epis- copal church, the highest honor that ean come toa minister of that faith. — «= »& ee a i Se | Sg -_ So fe | eas eS Hi pt fi » ‘ a : : tse Z Ce | x | CALVIN SS ; COOLIDGE , QO SCHERVEE STUDIOS, a?) is On Sunday, May 23, 1920, Mathew Wes- ley Clair, former dishwasher at the Hale house, was consecrated to that high and holy office and he is now performing the duties of that exalted station. That black boy who had been 0 signally honored was never a wild, rekeless lad. He was born at Union, in ‘Monroe coun: ty, West Virginia, Oct. 21, 1865. His parents were loyal Christians and the very name they gave their son, Mat- thew Wesley, was both biblical’ and Methodistie. “While a lad he readily re- sponded to their training. In his own words he confessed, ‘I always was de- vout and revered my Lord. Even in early childhood 1 JYayed preacher?

THE FARM Sol Butler to Study In The East ( Special to The Bystander.) Dubuque, Iowa, Oct. 28.—Sol Butler, internationally famous colored athlete the University of Dubuque's representative to the Olympic games, doesn't intend to return to school here. Butler is in the city for a short stay before going to Hutchinson, Kans., his home. Late this month he is to give a series of instructions to members of the Chicago Athletic club, after which he will enter the Pennsylvania law school. Butler's showing in the Olympic games was a disappointment. Regarded a sure winner in the broad jump at Antwerp, he failed even to qualify for the finals. During the preliminaries he pulled a tendon, which put him out of commission. Butler set a new world's record in the broad jump at Chicago, at the Olympic trials. The phenomenal colored athlete was a student at the University of Dubuque for five years, during which time he not only starred on the track, but in football and basketball as well. He was one of the greatest quarterbacks ever seen in action in this part of the state. HOW TO KEEP WELL J. Alvin Jefferson, M. D. It is just as unreasonable to expect thorough and complete digestion in one who has a mouth and an incompetent set of teeth as it is to expect pure water from a foul spring. We sin against our digestive tract when we allow our mouths to become garbage pails. Tobacco chewers and snuff users are chief sinners in this respect. Among diseases that invade the mouth are the various types of stomatitis, mumps, or parotitis, pyrhornea, glanditis, etc. It has been said, "The mouth is the battleground of the face." It is the only feature which can be relied upon alone to give a general insight into the character of the possessor. Even when silent it is eloquent of truth. This is especially true of the mouth-breather with his long lantern-jawed face. Mouth breathing is the result arising from a curious spongy growth located in a back of the throat opposite the posterior opening of the nose. This posterior nasal growth is better known as adenoids. Many parents often make the mistake of scolding their children for acquiring the habit of breathing through the mouth. A number of mothers have been heard to scream "For heaven sake child, shut your mouth." The best way to correct this evil is to have those adenoids removed. Healthy adenoids like healthy tonsils should not be removed, but when they become chronically inflamed and enlarged they become a source of danger. Backwardness and indifference on the READ THE METHING WORTHWHILE" uses for, in this world are—wealth, luxury, price.

BIRDSEYE VIEW OF PINE BIRDSEYE VIEW OF PINEY WOODS COUNTRY LIFE SCHOOL BRAXTON, MISS. BUTBUQUE Sol Dutler 1972 part of many school children may be traced to diseased tonsils and adenoids. Those little sufferers are physically as well as mentally abnormal. They are from one to four inches below the normal height for their years and five to fifteen pounds under weight, one to three grades behind in their school work. These adenoid growths are the remnants of the gills in fish and are arranged about small openings called the eustachian tubes. When they become inflamed they pour out a thick mucous secretion which enters the ear-tubes and sets up earache. It is said that two-thirds of all cases of carache and five-sixths of all cases of deafness are due to adenoids. It can be easily shown why a child with adenoids is usually underweight. We all know how flat our foods taste when we suffer from cold in the head. Smell and taste are so closely correlated that to destroy the one is to cripple the other. Without the sense of smell one cannot tell chalk from cheese if the sense of taste alone is to be his guide. If the nose becomes stopped it is impossible to smell foods. This lack of appreciation of the sense of smell is the permanent condition of the mouth-breather. His nasal openings are blocked by these spongy growths. For this reason his sense of smell is deranged and his food does not taste well to him giving rise to a poor appetite and defective digestion. Do not scold your child if he goes around with his mouth open and his lower lip hanging down. Take the child to a physician and find out whether he has diseased adenoids or not; if so have them removed at once. BYSTANDER [Name] SIR H.

HOUSE CLEANING ABOUT DUE IN WASHINGTON March 4 a lot of persons who have held sway at Washington for the last eight years are going to be retired. There is going to be a thorough house-cleaning at the national capitol—and it is time. A large proportion of the people picked by the Democratic administration are radicals (especially on "The Negro Question"); near socialist experimenters and visionaries. They must give way to the adherents of Republicanism and Americanism. The new show shows are better things ahead and especially is this true with reference to the 12,000,000 loyal law-abiding members of the Negro race who voted more than 99 per cent straight for the Republican candidates in the state and nation. THE LINCOLN THEATRE. (By Dr. W. H. Lowry.) The opening of the Lincoln theatre marks a new epoch in the history of the Negro race in Des Moines. The least that can be said about the theatre is that it is modern in every respect and affords the best accommodations of any theatre in the city. The entrance has a tile floor and the doors are mahogany finished. The interior is beautifully decorated, well ventilated, and has a seating capacity of 400. The operating room is the largest of any other theatre in Des Moines. This room is strictly fire proof and is equipped with two power 6 'B' machines, latest models. The entire lighting system of the theatre is controlled from the operating room. The theatre has a first floor and in order to keep up to the standard, a contract of $2,000.00 has been let for standard pictures, many the production of the best Negro screen artists. Besides the "movies," the theatre has a fine stage, well arranged for vaudeville. Some of the leading vaudeville shows will appear upon this stage during the winter season. The theatre is run by Banks & Robison. The building houses the theatre contains an undertaking a drama studio, three other store rooms. The entire project was conceived in the minds of Messrs. E. Tracy Blagburn and L. J. Shelton. At the beginning, the proposition involved an outlay of $3,500.00. Subsequent changes have increased this amount to more than $5,000. These men, laboring under a great financial burden, them in the face, continued to beat upon the iron until their visions finally rounded into success. Public Opinion He may wear a last year's straw hat; his finger nails may need manicuring; his vest may hang a little loose and his pants may bag at the knees; his face may show signs of second day's growth, and the tin dinner bucket he carries may be full of dents and doughnuts; but don't call him "the old man." He's your father. For years and years he has been rushing around to get things together. Never once has he failed to do the right things by you. He thinks you are the greatest earth, but not enough you plaster your back, wear smart clothes, smear cigarettes and fail to brig home cement. He is the man who won the love and life partnership of the greatest woman on earth—your mother. He is some man and not "the old man." If you win as good a wife as he did, you will have to go some.—The Silent Partner. STATEMENTS BY PROMINENT MEN "The Bystander is the only Negro paper in this part of the country and endeavors to serve the needs of organizations, every individual in our race should make it their duty to put the Bystander in every home in America by Rev. G. W. Robinson, pastor of inthian Baptist church, who has a membership than eight thousand. The Bystander should be in the home of every Negro family in the country and especially Iowa and adjoining states. It is newsy, clean, fearless in its editorials on racial conditions.

Every man has his hobby horse. There is no wheat without chaff. A prudent haste is wisdom's leisure Confidence often begets confidence—men. Umbrellas seldom come home to roost. A bad life, a bad end.—German Proverb. A camel has twice the carrying power of an ox. Mutton is considered the most nourishing meat. Speedy execution is the mother of good fortune. Chains of gold are stronger than chains of iron. A bean in liberty is better than a comfit in prison. Liberal hands make many friends.—Danish Proverb. A word of diplomacy is worth a volume of apologies. Ancestor worship is still observed among the Chinese. A crank is a man whose head is more or less turned. It is as easy to buy experience as it is difficult to sell it. Getting Worried. Clarence constantly played with Marguerite, one of twins, until his parents tessed him about his "girl." One afternoon Clarence's mother was sitting on the porch. Clarence, Marguerite, and a few other children were playing in the yard.

To Make Screws Hold. When screws are driven into a plaster wall they may be made firm enough to hold considerable weight if they be withdrawn, wrapped with cotton string and dipped into plaster of paris until sufficient adheres to fill the hole in the wall and to permit some of it to be forced behind the plaster. This latter forms a plug that holds the screw firm. Invest To-day Invest Now In a racial enterprise, with a Sound Investment.

During the administration of Ben Woolgar and Jackson Mrs. Coalson was appointed policewoman of the city. Her main duty was to look after the welfare of her own people, but she has in many instances helped individuals of the other race. Her reappointment by Mr. Marshall Miller of the safety department, was very gratifying to the colored people of the city. Mrs. Coalson, prior to her present duties as policewoman served as matron during several sessions of the Iowa state legislature. Mrs. Coalson is the widow of Wm. (Billy) Coalson, who for a number of years served as private messenger to the governors of Iowa. Her work here in the city has been a success from every viewpoint and her methods of helpfulness have been copied by other cities in their reforms for the betterment of the colored man, woman and child. 1920 Style. In an Indianapolis barber shop a man got a shave, haircut and tonic and gave the boss barber a dollar bill, which the latter rang up as he said, "Just right."

"There is a bigger difference than that," replied the boss barber; "Jesse was a piker. Why, I've got a seven-passenger car."—Indianapolis News. Agreed.

May Be Retained by the Elimination of Preventable and Premature Decay. At 70-odd you can be healthy, vigorous and full of fight. This is the belief of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, who is conducting in Good Housekeeping "The League for Longer Life." We read: "Life in the United States, and in every other country, is unquestionably shorter than it need be, and its period of healthy efficiency is too short even for that average length of life. It has been computed that the average of fully efficient manhood and womanhood under the present conditions is only about ten years. Health is unquestionably the most important possession that we have; our happiness, our success in business, and in family life, depend upon it. "Average life, as revealed by the mortality statistics, undergoes in this country two critical danger points as regards death—the first under one year of age, the second about the age of seventy-five. The prolonging of the average duration of life, which is now about forty-five years, to the second danger point, is theoretically possible by the elimination of preventable and premature decay." AND HE NEVER CAME BACK! Pursuing Swimmer Had No Idea of Letting a Chance Like That Get Away From Him. There were mutinous murmurs nboard a certain merchantman when word spread among the crew that the ship would not, after all, put in at Tahiti, but merely drop the mall over and go on. Tahiti, being French soil, is a little island of liquor in mid-Pacific, and the thirsty men aboard had been lying awake nights thinking of the drinks that lay ahead. The disappointment was too much for one seaman, who, uttering a plaintive cry, leaped into the sea and started to swim for the visible shore. The captain, much vexed and a little envious, ordered the best swimmer in the crew to go after him and bring him back before he reached land. An excited lookout kept all on deck posted on the progress of the race. "He's gaining! He's gaining! Two hundred yards—a hundred yards-fifty yards. In a dozen strokes he'll have him. Five more strokes! A yard to go. * * * Great guns!" "What is it? What is it?" "Great guns, sir, he's passed him!" "American Legion Weekly." A. Cubist Difficulty Blasco Ibanez, the Spanish novelist, was talking in New York about .the cubists.

A tall ancestral clock stood upon the mantelpiece in a Southern home, faithful to its duty. It had run uninterrupted for years. On a holiday occasion the maid, an old-time negro, decorating the house with holly and mistletoe, furnished the clock with a particularly brilliant wreathe, and as she said, dressed it up for the occasion. The next morning when she came to work, the faithful old clock had stopped. She stood before it, arms aklubo, and apostrophized it: "I knew you was going to stop, clock!

Sitting in the rear end of a day coach on a jerkwater road in Texas, my end of the car being a smoker for white passengers and the front end being reserved for the accommodation of colored persons, I—looking through the open door of the dividing partition—saw the conductor stop in the aisle alongside a half-grown negro boy who had boarded the coach at a flag station. "I ain't got no ticket, cap'n," I heard the darky say. So saying, he hauled a handful of silver dollars out of a pocket and extended the hand, its palm covered with coins. "Well, then, where do you want to go?" asked the conductor. "Capn. It don't make no difference," quoth the boy.

"You've been very good to your little girl since her engagement." "I'm always glad to make my sunbeam happy," murmured father fondly. "I want you to think sometimes of your foolish old father and remember that he did everything he could to make home pleasant for you before you left him in his lonely old age." "Oh, you dear, sweet man! What would you say if I didn't leave you, after all?" "Eh!" exclaimed the startled old man. "How can I be so selfish after you have been so good to me, and done everything for me?" said the girl tenderly. "I don't care so very very much for George. I'm going to tell him it was all a mistake, and that he can find somebody else, for I'm always going to stay at home with you. . . And then you can always give me nice things!" THAT BROUGHT HIM TO TIME Really Little He Could Do After Such a Declaration From His Aide In the hush of the twilight they lingered by the gate. He was full of hope, but fearful to try his luck, while she—well, her fair face was lined and drawn with determination. Presently, after a silence long and deep, she began: "I will never—" Her eyes met his pleading orbs with an intensity of purpose which made his heart quall. "Wed any man!" His bronze face paled and he felt as if he stood on the brink of a chasm of despair. Then, with a politely cold smile on her curved lips, she continued: "Present company—" Again she paused and he waited in feverish anxiety for her next words." "Always accepted!" And soon the wedding bells will be ringing for him and his girl. Piscatorial Labor Saver.

"This simple, this invention of Uncle Eph's, It is not patented. On the contrary, its inventor offers it to any and all devotees of the rod and reel.

"It ain't nothin' native of a labor saver," said Uncle Eph. "You see, every time I get a bite the fish bends the umbrella rib and the bell rings. Den I wakes up an' hauls him in."—Exchange. SCRAPS It isn't always a compliment to the baby to say it looks like its parents. A babbling brook is probably called so because it can't keep its mouth shut.

Yes, Hazel, dear, repartee during courtship develops into plain back talk after marriage. A married man's iden of heaven is a place where wives do not ask their husband for money.

Cheerfulness and content are great beautifiers and are famous preservers of youthful looks.-Dickens. I hate to see things done by halves. If it be right, do it boldly; if it be wrong, leave it undone. -Gilpin. No girl can successfully chew peanut brittle and nurse a case of disappointed love at the same time. Courtesy is the eye which overlooks your friend's broken gateway but sees the rose that blossoms in his garden. And the average married woman would doubtless spend more money if her husband had any more to spend. GOT HIS SEATS, ALL RIGHT Under the Circumstances, Many Will Think Bell-Ringer Was Moderate in His Demands. One of the annoyances of the manager of a show is the "free list" in small towns, and it is his duty to look over the list when he arrives and do the necessary cutting. Edward Arnold of "The Storm" company, tells of a manager of his company in the Middle West, who found two seats allotted to the "bell-ringer," asked the house manager why, and was introduced to the man. "Why two seats?" he said. "There's a curfew in this town," he said. "I am the bell-ringer. If I get the seats the bell gets a couple of light taps. If I don't it rings an hour." "Where is the bell?" "Next door." He got the seats—New York Post. The Price of Silence The negro preacher had successfully concealed the fact that he had served a term in prison, but long years of upright living had not destroyed his fear of exposure. One Sunday, on rising to begin his sermon, his heart sank on seeing in one of the front pews a former cell mate. Quick thinking was necessary. Turning the Bible round a couple of times to gain time he fixed his eye on the stranger and delivered himself slowly and impressively as follows; "Ah takes mah text dis mo'nin' from de sixty-fo' chapter an' de fo'hundre'th verse ob de Gospel ob Saint John which says, 'Dem as sees me, an' knows me. an' says nothin', dem will Ah see later."—Exchange. A Helping Hand. A very shy young farmer was courting a serious-minded young woman who was not averse to him or to marriage, but she found herself after a long period of silent courtship no nearer the goal than ever; the young man could not summon up courage to speak. One night, as they sat together—in dead silence, of course—in her father's parlor, she decided that the hour and the man had come. "George," she said in her most serious tones, "George, if you love me and don't like to say so, you may squeeze my hand." The Spirits Were Cuttin' Up An aged chief of the Sautenau tribe lay in his topee, the cold sweat of death on his forehead. His glassy eyes gazed into vacancy, and recognized not any of the walling women nearby. Then, suddenly, the grim, war-scarred face lit up with an eager joy, and he cried: "I see 'em." "See what?" queried one. "See 'em spirits," replied the dying chief. "What they doin'?" "Drinking tea and ligging." Sorry He Spoke.

LESSON FOR NOVEMBER PRINCIPLES OF CHRISTIAN LIVING. LESSON TEXT—Matt. 6:1-7; 12. GOLDEN TEXT—Seke ye first the kingdom of God-and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you—Matt. 6:33. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—Mark 10:23-31; Luke 11:2-4; 12:22-32. PRIMARY TOPIC—Our Heavenly Father's Care. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Teaching How to Pray. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC -Golden Rules for Living. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Counsels for Daily Living. Having set forth in the previous chapters the standard of righteousness, Christ now exhibits the underlying principles which control the heir to the kingdom. 1. As to Giving (6:1-4). Doing alms before men is not condemned, as that would contradict Matthew 5:16, but the doing of them before men to be seen of them. To seek publicity in doing our alms is to miss the reward of our heavenly Father. II. As to Praying (6:5-15). 1. False prayer (vv. 5, 7). This consists (1) in praying to be seen and heard of men (v. 5). (2) Using vain repetitions (vv. 7). This does not mean that we should ask but once, for we have examples of Christ and Paul praying three times for the same thing (Matt. 26:39-46; I Cor. 12:7, 8), but the using of meaningless repetitions. 2. True prayer (vv. 6). Since prayer is a transaction of the soul with God, we should have a real desire for fellowship with the Father, then go and meet him in secret. 3. The model prayer (vv. 9-15). This involves (1) right relationship—"Our Father" (vv. 9); (2) right attitude—"Hallowed be thy name" (vv. 9, 10); (3) right spirit—"Give us our daily bread." "Forgive us our sins," "Lead us not into temptation" (vv. 11-13). The Lord knew the temptation which would befall his children in their pilgrimage here below touching wordless, and the anxiety to which it would lead; therefore, he sets forth the proper attitude toward them: 1. The nature of earthly riches (vv. 19, 21). (1) Uncertain (vv 19, 20). Earthly treasures corode, or are taken from us. (2) Seductive (v. 21). Christ called riches deceitful (Matt. 13:22). It is not wrong to possess earthly treasures, but when earthly treasures possess us they become a snare. 2. The effect of earthly riches (vv. 22-24). (1) They blunt the moral and spiritual perceptions (vv. 22-23). When the heart is upon earthly treasures it is taken off God. (2) They render null and void all service (v. 24). IV. As to Faith in the Heavenly Father (vv. 25-34). 1. Be not anxious about food and clothing (vv. 25-32). Because (1) it shows distrust for God (v. 30). (2) It is useless (v. 31). Anxiety can bring nothing. (3) It is heathenish (v. 32). Those who have not learned to know God may worry over temporal affairs, but those who knew him as a loving Father should be free from care. 2. Be anxious to seek the kingdom of God and serve him (vv. 33, 34). This does not forbid proper forethought in making a reasonable support for one's self and family. V. As to Censorious Judgments (7:1-12). 1. The sin and folly of censorious judgments. This does not forbid us making an estimate of the lives of those about us, for "by their fruits ye shall know them;" neither does it prevent us from administering rebuke to those who deserve it. It rebukes that readiness to blink and to magnify their weakness errors. 2. The duty of discrimination dealing out holy things (v. 6). The gospel should be preached to all, but there should be discrimination, for "dogs and swine" have no comprehension as to holy things. 3. Qualification for discrimination (vv. 7-12). (1) A life of prayer (vv. 7-11). A life of prayer is a requisite for rightly divining the word of truth. (2) A disposition to treat others as one would be treated (v. 12). Confessus set forth this principle negatively, but only the Christ could do it positively. Between the negative and positive sides of this rule is found the difference between heathenism and Christianity. No man can live this rule unless he has been born from above and abides with Christ in the school of prayer, till he becomes like him. What God Requires What God requires is an undivided will—a yielding will, desiring only what he desires, rejecting only what he rejects, and both unreservedly. Where such a mind is, everything turns to good, and its very amusements become good works. Happy indeed is spik a one.—Fenelon. When Death Comes. When death, the great reconciler, has come, it is never our tenderness that we repent of, but our severity.—George Eliot. Wooded: Juliet came out on the balcony. "I am the original porch campaigner." she boasted. Bob—You look sweet enough to eat. Gert—I do eat. Where shall we go? —From the Orange Peel. Great Loss of Cows.

At 70-odd you can be healthy, vigorous and full of fight. This is the belief of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, who is conducting in Good Housekeeping "The League for Longer Life." We read; "Life in the United States, and in every other country, is unquestionably shorter than it need be, and its period of healthy efficiency is too short even for that average length of life. It has been computed that the average of fully efficient manhood and womanhood under the present conditions is only about ten years. Health is unquestionably the most important possession that we have; our happiness, our success in business, and in family life, depend upon it. "Average life, as revealed by the mortality statistics, undergoes in this country two critical danger points as regards death—the first under one year of age, the second about the age of seventy-five. The prolonging of the average duration of life, which is now about forty-five years, to the second danger point, is theoretically possible by the elimination of preventable and premature decay." AND HE NEVER CAME BACK! Pursuing Swimmer Had No Idea of Letting a Chance Like That Get Away From Him. There were mutinous murmurs aboard a certain merchantman when word spread among the crew that the ship would not, after all, put in at Tahiti, but merely drop the mall over and go on. Tahiti, being French soil, is a little island of liquor in mid-Pacific, and the thirsty men aboard had been lying awake nights thinking of the drinks that lay ahead. The disappointment was too much for one senman, who, uttering a plaintive cry, leaped into the sea and started to swim for the visible shore. The captain, much vexed and a little envious, ordered the best swimmer in the crew to go after him and bring him back before he reached land. An excited lookout kept all on deck posted on the progress of the race. "He's gaining! He's gaining! Two hundred yards—a hundred yards—fifty yards. In a dozen strokes he'll have him.

Sitting in the rear end of a day coach on a jerkwater road in Texas, my end of the car being a smoker for white passengers and the front end being reserved for the accommodation of colored persons, I-looking through the open door of the dividing partition—saw the conductor stop in the aisle alongside a half-grown negro boy who had boarded the coach at a flag station. "Iain't got no ticket, cap'n," I heard the darky say. So saying, he hauled a handful of silver dollars out of a pocket and extended the hand, its palm covered with coins. "Well, then, where do you want to go?" asked the conductor. "Cupn', it don't make no difference," quoth the boy. "Jes' you tells me, please, sah, when dis yere money is done ridden up an' den I'll git off effen I lak de looks of de place, an' effen I don't lak it I'll give you some me' money an' keep on a-ridin"—Irvin S. Cobb in the Saturday Evening Post. COULDN'T LEAVE DEAR DADDY Sweet Girl's Affection Must Have Been Very Comforting to the Old Gentleman, Yesl The blushing girl leaned over her father's chair and put her arm around his neck. "You dear old papa!" she cooed. "You've been very good to your little girl since her engagement." "I'm always glad to make my sunbeam happy," murmured father fondly. "I want you to think sometimes of your foolish old father and remember that he did everything he could to make home pleasant for you before you left him in his lonely old age." "Oh, you dear, sweet man! What would you say if I didn't leave you, after all?" "Eh!" exclaimed the startled old man. "How can I be so selfish after you have been so good to me, and done everything for me?" said the girl tenderly. "I don't care so very very much for George. I'm going to tell him it was all a mistake, and that he can find somebody else, for I'm always going to stay at home with you. . . And then you can always give me nice things!" THAT BROUGHT HIM TO TIME Really Little He Could Do After Such a Declaration From His In the hush of the twilight they lingered by the gate. He was full of hope, but fearful to try his luck, while she—well, her fair face was lined and drawn with determination. Presently, after a silence long and deep, she began: "I will never—" Her eyes met his pleading orbs with an intensity of purpose which made his heart quail. "Wed any man!" His bronzed face pailed and he felt as if he stood on the brink of a chasm of despair. Then, with a politely cold smile on her curved lips, she continued: "Present company—" Again she paused and he waited in feverish anxiety for her next words." "Always accepted!" And soon the wedding hells will be ringing for him and his girl. Piscatorial Labor Saver. Uncle Eph Johnson, aged negro, native of Scott county, Kentucky, has invented a machine that reduces to the minimum the labor of fishermen. "This simple, this invention of Uncle Eph's, It is not patented. On the contrary, its inventor offers it to any and all devotees of the rod and reel. Stick an umbrella rib perpendicularly in the mud on the bank, fasten a sleigh bell near the top, and connect the line with this "invention" and you are ready to fish—and sleep. "It ain't nothin' more a labor saver," said Uncle Eph, "You see, every time I get a bite the fish bends the umbrella rib and the bell rings. Den I wakes up an' hauls him in."—Exchange. SCRAPS It isn't always a compliment to the baby to say it looks like its parents. A babbling brook is probably called so because it can't keep its mouth shut. Only a very brave youth would attempt to steal a kiss from an unfair maid. Sobriety may not increase the wisdom of the world, but it gives it a better chance. A brilliant conversationallist is in danger of falling into a belief in art for art's sake. Look pleasant, even if you force a laugh. Life's always taking your photograph. A man's first conviction of his importance comes when a newspaper interviews him. About the only fault the average woman has to find with her past is that it's too long. Black, green, brown and white amber, as well as the yellow variety, is sometimes found. Don't boast of what you can do unless you are willing to take off your coat and make good. Yes, Hazel, dear, repartee during courtship develops into plain back talk after marriage. A married man's iden of heaven is a place where wives do not ask their husband for money. If you train servants in the way they should go, the first thing you know they are gone. If a man is born lucky he discovers the hole in his pocket before he puts any dimes into it. Cheerfulness and content are great beautifiers and are famous preservers of youthful looks.-Dlekens. Make your chart before you start. Know what you're after before you start out for it.-H. Kaufman. I hate to see things done by halves. If it be right, do it boldly; if it be wrong, leave it undone.-Gilpin. No girl can successfully chew peanut brittle and nurse a case of disappointed love at the same time. Courtess is the eye which overlooks your friend's broken gateway but sees the rose that blossoms in his garden. If all men were compelled to practice what they preach the majority of them would discontinue preaching. And the average married woman would doubtless spend more money if her husband had any more to spend. GOT HIS SEATS, ALL RIGHT Under the Circumstances, Many Wil Think Bell-Ringer Was Moderate in His Demands. One of the annoyances of the manager of a show is the "free list" in small towns, and it is his duty to look over the list when he arrives and do the necessary cutting. Edward Arnold of "The Storm" company, tells of a manager of his company in the Middle West, who found two seats allotted to the "bell-ringer," asked the house manager why, and was introduced to the man. "Why two seats?" he said. "There's a curfew in this town," he said, "I am the bell-ringer. If I get the seats the bell gets a couple of light taps. If I don't it rings an hour." "Where is the bell?" "Next door." He got the seats—New York Post. The Price of Silence The negro preacher had successfully concealed the fact that he had served a term in prison, but long years of upright living had not destroyed his fear of exposure. One Sunday, on rising to begin his sermon, his heart sank on seeing in one of the front pews a former cell mate. Quick thinking was necessary. Turning the Bible round a couple of times to gain time he fixed his eye on the stranger and delivered himself slowly and impressively as follows: "Ah takes mah text dis mno'n from de sixty-fo' chapter an' de fo'hundre'th verse ob de Gospel ob Saint John which says, 'Dem as sees me, an' knows me, an' says nothin', dem will Ab see later."—Exchange A. Helping Hand. A very shy young farmer was courting a serious-minded young woman who was not averse to him or to marriage, but she found herself after a long period of silent courtship no nearer the goal than ever; the young man could not summon up courage to speak. One night, as they sat together—in dead silence, of course—in her father's parlor, she decided that the hour and the man had come. "George," she said in her most serious tones, "George, if you love me and don't like to say so, you may squeeze my hand." The Spirits Were Cuttin' Up An aged chief of the Sautenui tribe lay in his tepee, the cold sweat of death on his forehead. His glassy eyes gazed into vacancy, and recognized not any of the walling women nearby. Then, suddenly, the grim, war-scarred face lt up with an enger joy, and he cried: "I see 'em." "See what?" queried one. "See 'em spirits," replied the dying chief. "What they doin'?" "What they don't? "Drinking tea and jigging." Sorry He Spoke. Hub—The preacher said this morning, you'll remember, that the finest garment a woman can wear is the mantle of charity. Wife—Yes, and judging from the fuss they make over the bills, it's about the only garment some husbands want their wives to wear.—Boston Transcript. Household Bills on His Mind.

LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 7 PRINCIPLES OF CHRISTIAN LIVING LESSON TEXT—Matt, 6:1-7; 12 GOLDEN TEXT—Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you—Matt, 6:33 A CONSONAL MATERIAL—Mark 19:23-31; Luke 11:2-4; 12:22-32 PRIMARY TOPIC—Our Heavenly Fr PRIMARY TOPIC—Our Heavenly Father's Care. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus Teaching How to Prax. to Pray. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Golden Rules for Living. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Counsels for Daily Living. Having set forth in the previous chapters the standard of righteousness, Christ now exhibits the underlying principles which control the heir to the kingdom. I. As to Giving (6:1-4). Doing alms before men is not condemned, as that would contradict Matthew 5:16, but the doing of them before men to be seen of them. To seek publicity in doing our alms is to miss the reward of our heavenly Father. II. As to Praying (6:5-15). 1. False prayer (vv. 5, 7). This consists (1) in praying to be seen and heard of men (v. 5). (2) Using vain repetitions (vv. 5). This does not mean that we should ask but once, for we have examples of Christ and Paul praying three times for the same thing (Matt. 26:39-46; II Cor. 12:7, 8), but the using of meaningless repetitions. 2. True prayer (vv. 6). Since prayer is a transaction of the soul with God, we should have a real desire for fellowship with the Father, then go and meet him in secret. 3. The model prayer (vv. 9-15). This involves (1) right relationship—"Our Father" (v. 9); (2) right attitude—"Hallowed be thy name" (vv. 9, 10); (3) right spirit—"Give us our daily bread," "Forgive us our sins," "Lead us not into temptation" (vv. 11-13). The Lord knew the temptation which would befall his children in their pilgrimage here below touching wordless, and the anxiety to which it would lead; therefore, he sets forth the proper attitude toward them: 1. The nature of earthly riches (vv. 19, 21). (1) Uncertain (vv 19, 20). Earthly treasures corrode, or are taken from us. (2) Seductive (v. 21). Christ called riches deceitful (Matt. 18:22). It is not wrong to possess earthly treasures, but when earthly treasures possess us they become a snare. 2. The effect of earthly riches (vv. 22-24). (1) They blunt the moral and spiritual perceptions (vv. 22-23). When the heart is upon earthly treasures it is taken off God. (2) They render null and void all service (vv. 24). IV. As to Faith in the Heavenly Father (vv. 25-34). 1. Be not anxious about food and clothing (vv. 25-32). Because (1) it shows distrust for God (v. 30). (2) It is useless (v. 31). Anxiety can bring nothing. (3) It is heathenish (v. 32). Those who have not learned to know God may worry over temporal affairs, but those who know him as a loving Father should be free from care. 2. Be anxious to seek the kingdom of God and serve him (vv. 33, 34). This does not forbid proper forethought in making a reasonable support for one's self and family. V. As to Censorious Judgments (7:1-12). 1. The sin and folly of censorious judgments. This does not forbid us making an estimate of the lives of those about us, for "by their fruits ye shall know them;" neither does it prevent us from administering rebuke to those who deserve all rebukes that readiness to blind and to magnify their weakness errors. 2. The duty of discrimination dealing out holy things (v. 6). The gospel should be preached to all, but there should be discrimination, for "dogs and swine" have no comprehension as to holy things. 3. Qualification for discrimination (vv. 7-12). (1) A life of prayer (vv. 7-11). A life of prayer is a requisite for rightly divining the word of truth. (2) A disposition to treat others as one would be treated (v. 12). Confucius set forth this principle negatively, but only the Christ could do it positively. Between the negative and positive sides of this rule is found the difference between beathenism and Christianity. No man can live this rule unless he has been born from above and abides with Christ in the school of prayer, till he becomes like him. What God Requires What God requires is an undivided will—a yielding will, desiring only what he desires, rejecting only what he rejects, and both unreservedly. Where such a mind is, everything turns to good, and its very amusements become good works. Happy indeed is sigh a one.—Fenelou. When Death Comes When death, the great reconeer, has come, it is never our tenderness that we repent of, but our severity. George Elliot. Wooded: Jullet came out on the balcony.
