KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Subscription $1.00 Per Annum Wyandotte The Leap Party Baptis The Leap Year Party at First Baptist Church A SCREAMING SUCCESS—ENTIRE AFFAIR A HUMMER—DRAMA CHALLENGED PROFESSIONALS IN STAGE EFFECT AND THOROUGH EXECUTION—STANDING ROOM AT A PREMIUM. That the Leap Year party at the First Baptist church, Fifth and Nebraska, on the 29th uit, eclipsed everything of the season in the way of church entertainment, is the consensus of opinion throughout the two Kansas Citys today. It was simply a screaming success through — the result of a united effort on the part of the Building club of the above named church to entertain Kansas City delightfully. Early in the evening the crowd began assembling and continued until after 9 o'clock, when every seat was taken, every available space in the alsles and only standing room at places could be had. It was a novel affair, hundreds of submissive gentlemen on the arms of lovely ladies—it is leap year, you know, and the ladies had leaped into the genelemen's places and were leading them to and from their residences on foot, on the trolleys, cabs and autos, but they were not their husbands nor sweethearts, but some other lady's. It was a grand affair, that assemblage of lovely women and jovial men. The program was an immense success, leading with a drama, "The Day Before the Wedding," in which the following persons participated: Miss Olivia Lewis as bride-to-be; Junius J. N. Gray, as bridegroom; Miss Melonee Minor, as Mrs. Padelthorp and mother of the bride, Miss Ada; Mr. Milton Wyatt, as her husband; Miss Gaynell Johnson, as Dollie Boston, bridesmaid and the fiance of the best man, Mr. Roy DeR. Trotter, as Dickson if the Padelthorps. All players covered themselves with honors in their rival professional acting. "It's the best we've ever seen," is what the merry spectators said. After the drama there were a few musical numbers by the orchestra. The repast in the dining room closed the evening's program with only words of praise for the pastor, the amiable Rev. W. A. Bowren, the committee and the participants in the evening's entertainment. JOTTINGS FROM RENSSELAER. The social given for the pastor of the A. M. E. church was a success. A good crowd was present and a neat sum was raised. The scholars for Lincoln school are rehearsing for a concert to be given soon. Misses Evelyn and Mary Taylor entertained Thursday evening in honor of Miss Muriel Allen, who is their guest. Every one present had a delightful time. Miss Evelyn Taylor left yesterday for Sydney to be the guest of Miss Muriel Allen for a week. Mr. and Mrs. Hammond Coursey left yesterday for Hannibal, where where they will remain until Tuesday. Then they will leave for their home in Kansas City, after visiting for two months with Mrs. Coursey's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Harrington. Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Hale are moving and will begin housekeeping on Boone's farm. The community wishes them success upon their new life. The Citizens' Forum had a very large and appreciative audience at its last meet at the Metropolitan church. Chaplain A. Brown read the 24th Psalm, and President Marquess presided with his usual ease. Miss O. Lewis read a good journal of the last meeting. The following program was rendered: VOL. 2. FORUM. 1. Quotations. Republica p Year at First st Church 2. Current events by Mrs. L. Buckner and Miss Maymle Morris. 3. Cornet solo, Mr. T. J. Jackson. 4. Address. The Gospel of Today and the Gospel of Tomorrow, Miss Bowles of New York City Y. W. C. A. 5. Address, "Co-operation," Mr. E. R. Robinson. It was one of the most practical addresses ever given before the Forum. The president appointed Mr. William Miller sergeant-at-arms, and the following committee as boosters: Messrs. J. T. Roberts, Jess Thomas, C. Daniels and Mesdames Gaines, J. Woods, M. Morris, Bessie Trambell, M. Merritt and G. A. White. Committee on state of country, Dr. Davis, Mr. T. Davis, Mesdames Toole, Dickerson, Reynolds and Miss Mary Frye. The executive committee filled the vacancy caused by Mr. P. Gardner resigning with Miss E. Caution Davis. Mrs. H. Dwiggins made a plea for a large attendance at Baby Week exhibit, and after a pleasant meeting all returned to their homes benefited. Fine program next Sunday. ALPHA ART CLUB. Alpha Art club was entertained by Miss Marie Johnson last Friday afternoon. A large number were present. Mrs. N. Wilson presided and a program was rendered of quotations from Bacon, current events and household hints by Mrs. H. Gamble. Little Agnes Robinson rendered a very fine reading and was encored. Mrs. M. C. Matthews, the first City Federation president was invited to make remarks, and music closed the program. The young ladies served salmon croquettes on lettuce leaves, new peas, mashed potatoes, beaten biscuits, ice cream, fairy white cake and Vienna coffee. Misses H. Flower and E. Neely and Mrs. Thomas assisted. A very delightful afternoon was spent. WHISTLING BURGLAR. Last Monday at the town of St. Joseph, Mo., something out of the ordinary took place. A short time before the closing hour of the Mechanics' bank a colored man walked in and as the clerks were busy their eyes did not fall upon their customer at once who came in whistling and still was making his favorite music when the eyes of the bank officials were lifted only to look in the death chambers held on them by their supposed customer who was a colored man. He whistled three, one a customer, in the large vault and then closed the door, then he commenced whistling out the coin of which there was $1500 and then walked out with that same tune, as when he entered. No trace or clue as to his whereabouts have been obtained up to this time. While the musical burglar was separating the bank from some of its earnings two or three customers came in and asked for the cashier and with a wave of the hand and still whistling, says "back there." This is the first time a colored burglar was known to hold up a bank in this part of the country. The fellow is what one might call "A progressive burglar." HON. CHAS. STEWART OF CHICA- GO IN THE CITY. The great Charlie Stewart, of Chicago and a member of the Associated Press and its first of color, was mingling with his friends here, who are many, a few days. Dr. Stewart preached Sunday night at the Metropolitan church to a large audience and Monday afternoon at 3 p. m. he lectured to women only at the First A. M. E. church. While here he stopped with Mr. and Mrs. Tilford Davis, on Washington boulevard. Charlie, you are always welcome to Kansas City, Kansas. One of our brainy young lady school teachers got off this pun on our Negro papers. "I will take the Elevator up to the Sun if the Advocate will assist me." Rather apropos, don't you think? Who will be the next? And Independent KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, MAR. 3, 1916 BISHOP JOHNSON AT FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH ALL DAY SUNDAY —WILL LECTURE WEDNESDAY NIGHT, MARCH 8. Bishop J. Albert Johnson, who has been the presiding bishop in South Africa of the A. M. E. church for a number of years will preach at the First A. M. E. church Sunday both morning and evening. Bishop Johnson is one of the strongest men on the bench of bishops and has no equal as a pulpit speaker. On Wednesday night, March 8th, he will deliver with stereopticon, an illustrated lecture on the Dark Continent. He will also tell us something about the raging war as he saw it in passing through the European countries. No one should miss a lecture of this character, but if the public takes an eleventh hour chance they will either have to stand or not get in at all. The choir, under the supervision of Major N. Clark Smith will have special music for all the services on Sunday. The Rev. Mr. Moore preached to a large audience last Sunday night, and his jubilee singers furnished the music which was enjoyed in a high degree. MISS BOWLES, GENERAL SECRET TARY OF Y. W. C. A., HERE. Miss Eva Bowles, general secretary of the Young Women's Christian association with headquarters in New York City, has been in the Kansas Citys for the past two weeks, in the interest of the work here. Miss Bowles is an ardent worker and has the Association at heart. She is busy from early norn until late at night from the time she steps off the train in the city up to the time she takes her departure. Through Miss Bowles the women of Kansas City, Mo., have taken hold of the work on their side and hope in a short time to be able in having one of the strongest associations in the west. Miss Edna Cook of the Yates branch has worked earnestly and faithfully for the success and upbuilding of this branch of which she is secretary, but it seems as though its friends are somewhat spasmodic in their support. If there is any race, and especially the girls of that race, who need an institution of this character, it is certainly the colored race. If we save our girls we save the morals and virtues of the mothers of unborn generations. Let us rally to this noble and much needed cause, and build to the moral good of our girls.

A successful Fifteen Years CRYSTAL WEDDING CELEBRATED —MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED GUESTS—MANY FINE PRES- ENTS RECEIVED. Monday evening at 933 Oakland avenue was the happy scene of more than one hundred guests who were invited to the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Law, the occasion being their fifteenth wedding anniversary. The bride and groom demonstrated to the guests that they were not new in the receiving line. Mrs. Law was handsomely dressed in white, carrying that every day smile and Mr. Law had a pleasantness equal to that of his fifteenth year bride. There were quite a number of guests present from Kansas City, Mo. Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Law's mother, Mrs. Williams, ner sister, Miss Robinson and Mr. Dunn being in that number. The punch bowl was kept busy during the evening and a fine dainty luncheon was served in courses. The bride and groom were the recipients of many fine pieces of crystal. DR. KEALING TO SPEAK BEFORE MERCANTILE CLUB. Dr. H. T. Kealing, president of Western University, has been invited to speak before the Mercantile club of this city next Monday night. Dr. Kealing is in great demand as a speaker and lecturer. One who hears him will ever avail themselves of the opportunity to hear his logic and philosophy again. STATE CAPITAL NEWS STATE CAPITAL NEWS The white man who obtained license to marry a colored woman a few days ago and about which event much has been said in the papers, we understand had been carrying on an illicit relation with this same colored woman, and for which relation we are informed both were convicted. Under such circumstances we wonder if the probate judge who refused to perform the ceremony made matters any better? It would seem to us that if the parties wish to legalize the relation they should be permitted to do so. Miss Alberta G. Whitman, one of the famous Whitman Sisters, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Guy for a few hours last Saturday. Miss Whitman formerly resided in Lawrence, but at present the home of the Whitman Sisters is Asbury Park, N. J. Miss Whitman is a play writer and actress. A good dancer also. TOPEKA, KANSAS. She is the youngest daughter of the Rev. A. A. Whitman, the distinguished divine and poet, who before his death some ten years ago, made an enviable reputation as a public speaker and writer. Miss Whitman was en route to Chicago to join the company, which has a lengthy engagement in that city. Miss Jessie Oden and Miss Zenolia Jackson have opened a studio at 413 Kansas avenue. The public recital given by them on Wednesday evening was a very enjoyable affair. We bespeak for these talented young ladies much success in this, an effort to raise and advance the musical standard in our city. Attorney General Brewster has filed a very elaborate and strong answer to the petition which seeks to have the court compel the state censor to pass the picture "The Birth of a Nation." The matter is in the first division of the district court and will be heard soon. Good lawyers seem unable to see how the court can decide this. Many different than the decision by the same court in the school board case recently decided. In that case the court held that it had no right to interfere with the decision of the board's judgment, fairly exercised, whether it be good or bad. We look with favor upon the resolutions adopted by the conference of colored Republicans held in Kansas City, Mo., last week, as printed in that issue of The Advocate. If the contemplated permanent organization could be formed along such lines as to bring benefit to the colored people generally in the western states, and not be used for the advancement of some individual political aspiration (signs of which we are told appeared in the conference) it would do much toward rehabilitating the party in this section of the country. Party success first, the mantle of patronage afterward. We note with much pleasure the activity of the K. C. K. branch of the Association for the Advancement of the colored people as reported in last week's issue of The Advocate. We trust that from it the Topeka branch may take a lesson and increase its membership also. And some time a convention of local branches might prove to be healthy. The action of the whites and blacks of Kentucky in opposition to the bill now before, the legislature of that state providing separate street car accommodations for colored people, is worthy of mention. The opposition on the part of the white people of Kentucky to the passage of such a bill is surprisingly agreeable to see. Among those mentioned for delegates at large to the national Republican convention at Chicago are Lawyer Jas H. Grey and Dr. O. A. Taylor of Topeka, Judge I. F. Bradley and Thomas Kennedy of Kansas City, Hon. T. W. Bell and Dr. C. M. Moates of Leavenworth. A fine field to pick from. It is claimed by many of the leading colored Republicans that colored men identified with the national committee, which has to do with electing the ticket, would be of more service to the party than being on the delegation to the convention having to do with making the ticket. A few colored Republicans in the west and a few in the east and north as advisory to say the least, would add much to the success of the campaign. The announcement of H. I. Monroe as a candidate for county clerk and that of F. M. Stonestreet as a candidate for marshal of the court of Topeka are both meeting with much favor. Each has been proven a very capable officer. Go to it, boys, go to it. ST. CLOUD. MRS. SARAH JACKSON-ROWE DIES IN LOS ANGELES. Mr. Taylor Jackson, of 1141 Ann avenue, received on last Wednesday, February 23rd, the sad intelligence by telegram of the death of his daughter, Mrs. Sarah Josephine Rowe, whose residence was 1625 West 26 Place, Los Angeles, Calif. Mrs. Rowe was well known here, and had a host of friends, who will regret very much to learn of her demise. During the many years of her living in this city, she was known to be very active in church work and identified herself with the Eighth Street Baptist church. She leaves a devoted husband, Mr. Lester Rowe, father, step-mother, two sisters and many sorrowing friends. The husband and relatives have the sympathy in the loss of one whom they loved. NO.28 Dove of Peace Spreads Her Wings over Old Party REPUBLICANS OF WYANDOTTE SEE VICTORY-LARGE MEETING LAST SATURDAY-HARMONY IS THE SLOGAN. The call by Capt. Hayes, chairman of the Wyandotte Executive committee for a meeting of the County Central committee for a meeting on last Saturday at 2 p. m., brought out hundreds of Republicans with a good sprinkling of Democrats. The purpose of this call was to make arrangements for a primary to select delegates to the Congressional convention of the Second district which will be held at Ottawa March the 14th and delegates to the State convention which will be held in Topeka March the 21st. The meeting was called to meet in the district court room No. 3, 717 Minnesota avenue, but long before the hour arrived, it was found it would not accommodate the large crowd, so the chair announced that they would retire to court room No. 1 in the court house and it was only a short time until this room was filled with enthusiastic Republicans. Chairman Hayes called the meeting to order and then in a few brief remarks told the purpose of this meeting which was to set a date and hour to hold a primary to select 26 delegates and 26 alternates to the Congressional Convention, who would take part in that convention in selecting two delegates and two alternates to the National Republican convention at Chicago in June. This primary would also select 26 delegates and 26 alternates to the state convention which will be held in Topeka, March 21st at which time 4 delegates at large and 4 alternates will be selected to the National Republican convention in Chicago. It was the unanimous will of this large body of committeemen that the chair be empowered to appoint a committee to set the date, hour and draft rules governing said primary. During the recess enthusiastic addresses were made by Attorneys Getty, Enright and Judge Crew. The committee being ready made their report at which time the only friction appeared on the scene which was of a minor nature. when Mr. Ed Shores presented a substitute report. The two reports were practically the same, the only difference being the report of the appointed committee gave the candidates for national delegates from this county the power to select such electors as they saw fit to run under their name, as delegates and alternates, while Mr. Shores' substitute called for what one might call "a free for all" and let the candidates fight it out with the delegates might be elected. Mr. Getty in a manly argument for peace and harmony defended the committee's report and Mr. Enright with vim and eloquence defended the Shore substitute. When a vote was taken on the substitute it was shown to be in the minority by 87 to 15. The original report then was unanimously adopted. This meeting was marked with that peace and harmony of the old time Republican victory and a few more meetings of that kind will bring the metropolis county back to where she long ought to have been, in the ranks of Republican victory. Adjournment was made to be called by the power of the chairman. BROTHERHOOD MEETS. The Brotherhood of the First Baptist church met at the First church on last Sunday at the usual hour of meeting, 5 p. m. Press. H. A. Geren punctual to time, began the devotional exercises, Scripture reading, prayer and song. Both the Scriptural lesson and current topics were dismissed and the time given to a book review on church covenant. Deacon H. L. Moberly, catechist, read and catechized the covenant with much animation. The hour for meeting expired so quickly that the pastor, Rev. W. A. Bowren, suggested a Brotherhood day at a near date. (Watch The Advocate for date.) After the regular routine of business a silver offering was taken by Treasureman J. H. Dount. The meeting closed in usual form. H. H. GEREN, Pres. H. J. MESSLEY, Secy.

E. church's greatest evangelist, closed a three weeks' campaign last Sunday evening at North Street church, Springfield, O., which was said to be one of the most wonderful gospel meetings ever held in the Buckeye city. Upwards of five hundred were turned about and started on the road to eternal life by and through the plain and simple Christian logic of this great evangelist. Dr. Adams is a resident of this city and resides at 1016 Tauromee avenue.

NEVER LIE DOWN TO READ Easy to See Why the Practice Is Injurious—How Proper Breathing Promotes Health. "I never read without using a book rest," said one well-known literary woman. "I think it easier to adjust a book to the sight by its use. A book rest can be raised higher than the level of the lap and the hands and the wrists will not be wearied by the strain of holding it higher than the knees. "I never read in bed. I am thankful to those, older and wiser than I, who taught me that to read while reclining was to overfill the blood vessels of the eye and so cause a degree of congestion in the eye. If one is too tired to sit straight I am convinced she is too tired to read. She should rest in the silence and darkness of her room." In the very way a girl carries her body when walking or sitting she can do good or harm to the prettiness of the neck and throat. The chest must always be held high, and this instinctively raises the head more prettily. The abdomen must be held in, and since some intaking of the breath is required for this last muscular effort, the muscles of the throat and chest are at once benefited. Muscles, by the way, depend tremendously upon good breathing for health and firmness, so if a girl never did anything more violent than picking a rose, if she simply gives the windmills of her lungs all the good air they need, the blood will be freshened and the muscles nourished almost as well as if she played golf every day. The value of outdoor sports, however playful, is in their action upon the mind. PUT UP STRONG ARGUMENT Kentucky Statesman's Unique Appea for Retention of the Bounty on Foxes' Scalps. A new angle is given the old yarns about the parson and the chickens and the necessity of having the latter on the table when the former appears in the homes of his parishioners by the story related in Case and Comment, of the speech made by a member of the Kentucky legislature against the repeal of the law for the payment of a bounty on foxes' scalps. The member came from the mountainous section of the state and he put his arguments this way: "Do the gentlemen want to deprive my constituents and me of the benefits of hearing the gospel preached? "We all are Methodists up my way, and our preachers won't come with out we can give 'em chickens. We can't raise chickens unless the foxes are killed by somebody, that's sure; and there ain't anybody that can afford to spend their time huntin' foxes and get nothin' to pay for it. "So, gentlemen, if you repeal this law you'll be depriving my constituents of the benefits of hearin' the gospel preached. That's the way it looks to me. And we need the gospel." The vote was against the repeal. Restaurant THE NEW IDEA "pressing and training the Hair while you sleep" G.A. MORGAN'S HAIR REFINER Before After TRADE CLEVELAND.O. MARK PRICE $100.

REASON GIVES WAY TO WILL Physiological Explanation That May Bring Strong Denials From Those Fond of Argument. "Men's interests come to them from such sources as their parentage, birthplace, party or sect," writes Dr. W. Hanna Thomson, "and the influence of these factors in life sway their reasoning as naturally and irresistibly as the wind carries with it the dust of a read. "This subservience of reason to the will is simply physiological and therefore so unconscious that it is in no sense hypocritical or insincere, however some may wonder at the intellectual feats in reasoning of those who have differed from them, not in mental faculty, but in their native environment. "No one should wonder at or resent any reasoning as such, for this subordinate in man has to do as he is hidden by his master. "In short, the world has yet to learn, once for all, that men are not to be justified nor condemned by such superficial things about them as their opinions. "Set the will right first and men's opinions will follow suit as soon as they have opportunities for knowing better." Number of Dark Stars. It is reasonable to assume that the number of stars in space having a temperature so low that their radiations do not affect our eyes or photographic plates is extremely large. That these invisible stars are far more numerous than the luminous stars is suggested by Mr. F. A. Lindemann, who attempts, in the Monthly Notices, a rough calculation of their relative number, based on the assumption that new stars (novae) are due to collisions. He concludes that there are about 4,000 times as many dark stars as bright ones. Irish Make "Turkish" Bugs "Irish Make Turkish Rugs. "Turkish" rugs are now being made in Donegal.

Colored Solicitor HORSES THAT WERE JUMPERS Some Really Remarkable Feats on Record That Are Without Doubt Authentic. What distance and what height can a horse jump is a curious inquiry. If the reader will carefully measure out 30 feet, an idea of the horse's capacity in this direction will be gathered, remarks the London Times. Such a distance a steeplechase horse called Old Chandler is reported to have covered at Warwick some years ago, and there is more than one apparently authentic record of a horse clearing seven feet in height. The scene of one such exploit was at the Phoenix park and the horse was an animal descended from a famous winner named Potsos, himself called Turnip. The animal belonged to Sir E. Crofton, and the duke of Richmond, then lord lieutenant of Ireland, wagered £500 that seven feet in height could not be cleared. A wall of the requisite dimensions was built and Turnip was ridden at it. He did what was asked of him in perfect style, but it happened that his grace not knowing that the feat was ready for performance, was not looking when the jump was made, but Turnip was therefore ridden over it again, not only successfully but easily. The wall of Hyde park, opposite Grosvenor place, six and a half feet on the inside, with a drop of eight feet into the road beyond, has also been cleared. Going Home to Mother. Just what I mean by going home to one's mother in its larger sense, is perhaps a little difficult to define. Yet surely, it must be a very universal experience. Have we not all at some time—often following a period of confusion and stress of circumstances—suddenly experienced that deep sense of finding ourselves where we be longed? A sense of restfulness, of homecoming, of general rightness and well-being? It is a sloughing off of the nonessential and the trivial and a shifting of the spirit into deeper and simpler channels; a pause, when in the midst of all this mad dance of time and circumstance one gets a sudden, enlarging glimpse of truth and of eternity. Atlantic Monthly. MORE UPHEAVALS MAY COME Abundant Proof That Nature's Resistless Forces Have Not Been Forever Quiled. The Wasatch mountains, once a level plain and formed through some gigantic upheaval of nature, are still restless, showing that the process of nature which carved the peaks and canyons is still in progress. During the long period of slow earth movement which made these mountains, flat-lying parallel beds of rock were locally turned on edges, crumpled and folded in a wonderfully intricate manner. These upturned and crumpled rocks are well shown in Ogden canyon. The west face of the Wasatch range is believed to mark the plane of a normal earth fault at a nearly vertical crack in the earth's crust, the rocks on the east side of which went up or those on the west side went down. A number of parallel faults were developed close together and the broken pieces of the earth's crust between them were pushed up, the rocks on one side of each crack riding up over those on the other side until the great mountain range was formed. RED ALWAYS DANGER SIGNAL Excellent Reasons Why That Color Should Have Been Selected for the Purpose. Everywhere you turn, red is used to signify danger. As tall-lamps to motors and trains, at torn-up streets, red lights universally announce "Danger!" Why is red used in preference to any other color? There is a very good and sufficient reason for this. Red, no matter how distant, never ceases to appear red. It retains its color better than any other, and plays no illusionary tricks with your eyesight. Enjoying normal weather conditions the ranges of colored lights in use on the railways are recognized as follows: Red, $3\frac{1}{2}$ miles; green, $2\frac{1}{2}$ to 3 miles; lunar white, 2 to $2\frac{1}{2}$ miles. It will be seen that red is far ahead of its fellows. Green, its nearest rival, of course, the color of which nature makes such extensive use. Consequently, green is much more liable to become absorbed in any background than red. That is why red takes pride of place.—Answers. Able to Defy Burglar. The story of the strong room is nothing more than one long fight between the safemaker and the burglar. But at last the vault maker would appear to have won, and it is the boast of experts that many of the strong rooms found in the more up-to-date safe deposits, banks and other institutions are not only burglar-proof, but proof against attack by armed mobs and also from earthquake shocks. Their great steel walls are absolutely undrillable on account of the hardness of the metal employed, while by welding the plates together it is virtually impossible to burn through them. Then, by means of time and combination locks, it is impossible to open the doors without a key and a knowledge of the combination, once they are closed. As a further precaution, many of these strong rooms are so designed that an electrical alarm is sounded should attack be made upon them, or the basement in which they are situated is flooded with water the moment their mechanism is tampered with. Composers of Hymn Tunes. Frequent study has been made of the writers of famous hymns, but less heed has been given to the makers of the tunes which have often been the means of carrying the words into universal use. A tune is easier to learn by car than words are, and thus a singer may have recourse to a book for words without heeding the score for the melody. But after all, our associations with hymns are quite as apt to be with the music as with the words; and the writers of our best hymn tunes are often eminent composers. Among the obscurer composers of hymn tunes that have lasted long the Christian Work mentions Isaac Baker Woodbury of Beverly, Mass., who began his career as a blacksmith's apprentice. His interest in churchgoing brought him at last to an interest in music, and he even studied in Europe and was an associate of the better known musicians of the day. His tune called "Siloam," sung to Heber's "By Cool Siloam's Shady Rill," is known to most churchgoers. Men Who Wear Feathers. Among the strange tribes of men about whom little is known are the Chamacocos of the region about the upper Paraguay river. Although the Chamacocos wear but little clothing they excel in the art of making personal adornments from the feathers of birds. Their country abounds with birds of the most beautiful plumage, including parrots, toucans and trogons, whose feathers are dazzling in color; rheas, with gray plumes; musk ducks of a glossy black color, egrets with feathers of pure white, and spoonbills of a delicate pink hue. All this wealth of color and graceful plumage is combined by the Chamacocos in a most artistic manner. Some of these savages walk their forest glades in colors more brilliant if less ample than any woman's dressmaker could produce. NITRATE DEPOSITS OF CHILE Many Things to Which the Users of the Supply Should Give Close Attention. The world's supply of nitrate, for use in the manufacture of fertilizers, explosives and other chemical products, is now derived almost entirely from the deposits of sodium nitrate in northern Chile. These deposits are vast, as compared with any probable future demand and even the best efforts of a close monopoly supervised by the Chilean government have not been able to do more than keep output and prices under some small degree of control. In ordinary times the Chilean deposits can swamp any possible competitive supply, and in the past this has operated to prevent the development of small or less well located deposits elsewhere. The Chilean deposits have, however, one marked defect which is brought into prominence by the present European war; and which would have come out in still more disastrous form in case of a war between the United Stales and any power having an active fleet in the Pacific ocean. The defect is that the distribution of the output is entirely by sea, and that the steamers carrying the nitrate must make a long run along open coasts. We must, therefore, consider that nitrate, though the supply is more than ample, is likely to be entirely cut off under war conditions. In default of a supply of Chilean nitrate, a country would have to fall back upon either (a) local or other supplies of natural potash or soda nitrates, (b) nitrogen extracted from the air, or (c) nitrates manufactured from coal tar products. All of these are technically feasible, and none are absolutely prohibitive as to cost under war conditions, though in normal times none of them can at present compete with the Chilean supply.—Engineering Magazine. ALL RUN BY ELECTRICITY Labor-Saving Devices a Feature of House Exhibited at Panama-Pacific Exposition. Electrical labor-saving devices form one of the most interesting features of the manufacturers' exhibits at the Panama-Pacific exhibition. A novelty shown in this department is an allelectric house. Many homes have been built and adapted to use electricity in as many ways as possible after construction, but the house exhibited has had the various features built in. Each room is equipped with labor-saving devices and electrically operated comforts. All the kitchen machinery, from potato peelers to the electric refrigerator, is motor driven. The dining room is arranged so as to show how light lunches can be prepared on electric chafing dishes and stoves. In the rear of the house there is an electric workshop and a garage equipped with a battery recharging device for the electric automobile. Who Invented Khakl? The answer to the question, "Who invented khaki?" is not easy, although we all know that the adoption of khaki by our army dates back to the South African war. It will surprise most people, says the Liverpool Mercury, to be told that nearly fifty years ago a Liverpool celebrity advocated something akin to khaki as the most serviceable color for the uniform of our troops. W. G. Herdman, the artist, and author of "Ancient Liverpool," writing in 1839, condemned the red uniforms of the British and the white uniforms of the Austrian armies as the worst possible colors, having regard to their visibility at long distances. He added, "If armies went into action clothed in a gray-green all over, head or cap and all, they could not be distinguished till close to." Turkish School Children. "Turkish children recite their lessons all together in the old-fashioned schools, and if you could hear them, you would think that you had gone into Wonderland with Alice, where 'things wouldn't come straight.' The little girls go to school in groups, and with them is always an old servant who carries all their books on what looks for all the world like a small clothes-tree. The boys go and come in two long lines attended by their teacher. They carry their own books and wear long trousers and fezzes exactly like their fathers. Some of the tiny girls carry their own little tables and drawing-boards. In the gypsy village in Scutari the children learn their lessons by songs in the street. They stand in a circle with a big girl in the middle, and they get noisier and noisier the more interested they grow."—Lindamira Harbeson, in St. Nicholas. Only a Collection. Usually the holdup man's way of getting the coin from the belated citizen is to put him to sleep with a crack on the bean. But the other night a New York journeyman highwayman adopted a different method. He held up a preacher in a Harlem street and with the aid of repartee and a gun made him come across with his roll. After the preacher had dug down in his jeans and given his money to the highwayman he rebuked the man for adopting that way of earning a living. "Can't help it, brother," said the strong-arm man; "I need the coin. I am only taking up a collection; you can do the same, you know, and get away with it twice as easy as I can.

All that is ever likely to be known of the aborigines of Newfoundland has been printed by an antiquarian who has made these vanished people the study of his life. These mysterious people were, it appears, not Eskimos like some of the tribes in "Doctor Grenwell's parish," across the strait in Labrador. The Eskimo has a squat body, a flat face and a nose hardly large enough to be called such. But this race was tall and long limbed, while such skulls as have been preserved show the bones of noses rather of the Roman than the Tartar sort. ```markdown ``` Dandruff Itching Scalp, Tetter, Falling Out Breaking Off, Bell, West 906.

In a recently published book, "Souvenirs de la Vie de Theatre," Pierre Berton tells of meeting him the night before the production of his "Rol de Lahore," and congratulating him on the success that was sure. He was astonished at the weary, melancholy attitude of the composer. "Massenet silently took off his hat, and pointed with his finger at his hair.

While her sisters in London, Paris, Berlin and Petrograd are discarding their jewels, giving the gold to the common treasury and selling the gems to swell relief funds and keep the wolf from the door, the New York lady is daily acquiring an increased penchant for the finest jewelry that the world produces. Prosperity is once more smiling on New York, particularly in the financial district, and consequently the great jewelry houses are benefiting thereby, says the Wall Street Journal. Any of the leading Fifth avenue diamond merchants will tell one that hundreds of prominent Wall street folk visit their showrooms weekly to buy of the best, and the best is never too good for them to tender to their womenfolk. Many European workers in gold and silver, whose art is famous in Europe, and who could not have been bribed to work in this country a couple of years ago, have come to these shores seeking work which cannot be found in Europe. The great De Beers syndicate in London has prevented an influx of gems on the market by purchasing privately the collections of jewelry offered by prominent women in the European centers, and this has undoubtedly held up the price for diamonds. Many great American jewelers sent over representatives to Europe soon after the war broke out in the hope that they could pick up quantities of gems cheaply, but they came back empty handed owing to the activities of the De Beers syndicate Jewelers expect the demand for their wares to increase as the country grows in prosperity, and a business that was at the lowest possible ebb a little over a year ago now has glided possibilities. Battle Famous In History. The capture of Warsaw antedated by a day another historic anniversary in German history, the battle of Woerth, August 6, 1870. Here the French under Marshal McMahon, fresh from their defeat by the Prussians at Weissenburg, ten miles away, were again overwhelmed by the victorious Germans. The fiercest fighting occurred in the village of Freschweller, which had to be stormed, the struggle in the streets being of the most desperate character as may be judged by the fact that the Prussian loss was 10,000 and the French 8,000 with 3,000 prisoners.

Sex the Key to the Bible The World's Three Greatest Books By Sidney C. Tapp, PhB. "The Truth About the Bible" about five hundred pages, $3.00. "Why Jesus Was a Man and Not a Woman," three hundred pages, $2.00. "Sexology of the Bible," over one hundred and seventy- hundred pages. All cloth-bound. These books treat of the nature of sex and show that the Bible is a book of sex and a book of spirit, and that sex is the dividing line between the physical and spiritual worlds. They show that disease, sickness and insanity are within the sex, and that sex-lust was the orig- in and cause of death. They are arresting the nation. They are a scientific, philosophical and theological worlds and people of all classes as no other books of modern times, and will probably do more to shape the thoughts of the human race than any books ever written. They are daily going to the great think- ers of all parts of the civilized world. "I would rather be the author of the Truth About the Bible, by Sidney C. Tapp, than to be the President of the United States. His sex interpretation of the Bible, as therein contained, is so daring and his conclusions are so unanswerable that the author staggers under the ideas presented. For ideas, it is the world's greatest book, Mr. Tapp's books on the Bible and his sex interpretation of the Bible will live until time shall be no more. Republics may perish and Empires may decay, but the ideas presented by the author in these books on the Bible will never die."—Prof. J. Silas Harris, A. M. Mr. Tapp's works on the Bible will do more to elevate it, insane institutions and hospitals than any other idea that has ever been given to the world, in our opinion, to say nothing of the great good, morally and spiritually, that they will do the ruman race. He has indeed produced a world idea that should be in every home and library in the civilized world. W. A. Thompson, M.D. W. A. Swan, M.D. S. M. H. M.D. W. F. Mikel, A.B. M.D. Theodore E.

The authorship of the saying, "I expect to pass through this world but once; if, therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do my fellow beings, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again," the precise wording of which changes with almost every quotation, has never been settled. It has been attributed to Stephen Grellet (1773-1855), an American Quaker of French birth; to Emerson, Sir Rowland Hill (1744-1833), Mareus Aurelius, Addison, Carlyle and others. On page 448 of W. Gurney Benham's "A Book of Quotations" (Lippincott, 1907) it may be found in clearer form, together with a short history of the effort to trace it. According to a footnote in Bartlett's "Familiar Quotations" (1914) "I shall not pass this way again" was a saying of William Penn's. Composers of Noted Hymns. Silas Jones Vail, for a time a hatter in New York, composed the music for Faber's beautiful hymn, "There's a Wideness in God's Mercy," and he also set "We Shall Meet Beyond the River," by the Rev. John Atkinson of New Jersey. Ithamar Conkey of Shutesbury, Mass., composed "Rathburn" in 1847. He was tenor soloist in a New York church. George N. Allen, composer of the tune "Maltland," was a Massachusetts man who went to Ohio and composed a good many sacred songs and tunes. "Maltland" is sung to Thomas Scott's "Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone?" Turn to Painted Glass. The draftsmanship of the stained-glass window must always remain conventional, and bound by its own peculiar limitations; but the designer was seeking for a more plastic medium in which to express himself; and this he found in the invention of glass painting, or rather, transparent enameling, which gave his pencil greater freedom, even though it could not hope to equal the masterpieces of color of the older style. And so stained glass proper yields place more and more to painted glass. FISH SCALES ONCE VALUABLE Greatly In Demand In Days Gone By as Necessary Part of Important Industry. Among unconsidered trifles may be included the scales of fish. Of value and utility to the owner during its sojourn in the vasty deep, the scales are ignored after capture as good only for the manure heap. But it was not ever thus. In days gone by fish scales possessed a real value, notably those of roach, bleak, dace and whitebait. Older writers tell us how the scales of these fishes were collected and used in the manufacture of necklaces, earrings and such-like ornaments. The Thames fishermen used to catch the fish, take off the scales, and throw the body back into the river. A pigment was obtained by treating the scales in a certain fashion, whitebait being the most popular fish used for the purpose. So great, formerly, was the demand at times that the price of a quart of fish scales varied from one to five guineas. This treatment of fish scales for making small personal adornments is attributed to the French. A Parisian artist one winter, it is said, used thirty hamperfuls of bleak scales in the course of manufacture. Today, however, the industry is practically extinct.—London Tit-Bits.

It is interesting, says the London Chronicle, to recall that Stevenson has recorded his imprisonment in France as a German spy, so foreign looking was he in appearance. Andrew Lang found his appearance at twenty-eight was anything but that of a Scotsman, and the same difficulty pursued the novelist through life, more especially on the continent. "It is a great thing, believe me," he wrote in the Inland Voyage, "to present a good normal type of the nation you belong to," and, as he says in the same chapter, "I might come from any part of the globe, it seems, except from where I do." At a North Shore golf club a man, who had been playing with a clergyman was quite sure that he heard the holy man swear two or three times under his breath. Suspecting the lapse, he could not be sure of it, until one monosyllable came out with unmistakable clearness. After he had finished the match, a friend of his said: "I saw you playing just now with Rev. Dr. Smith. Of what demonination is he?" "Some people say he is a Unitarian," said his late opponent, "but I should call him a Profanitarian." Salt Water Improves Coal. In recovering cargoes of coal from sunken vessels it has been discovered that the combustion of coal is improved by submergence in salt water. Coal subjected to the action of seawater for a number of years will burn almost entirely away, leaving only a small amount of ash and no clinkers. Crates of coal, each holding approximately two tons, were submerged by the British admiralty in 1903, and at different times since certain of them have been raised and experiments conducted. The tests all have been in favor of the salt-water treatment. New Sect. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE. Headaches - Stop them!"

MADE HIS PROMISES GOOD Ardent Wooer Gave Bride at Least a G'impse of the Splendors She Longed For. She managed to withstand his wooing (though, what with his red hair and sparkling teeth and impetuous manner, and all, he was "some" wooer!) until he described the honeymoon that he would provide for her. Ever had it been her ambition to travel. "The world will lay its treasures at your feet!" he cried. "The silks and chopsticks of China, and the perfumes and lovely horses of Arabia, the mysticism of India, and the cavorting Corsacks of Russia!" "Oh, Wilton!" she whispered, enraptured. He went on glowingly: "You will ride on the camels of the desert, and see, safe by my side, the obstreperous wild beasts of the jungle. The splendors of the East and West, the glories of the North and South—all shall be at your service! The Orient, the Occident, the Accident!" "Wilton," she gurgled, "I am yours!" And he clasped her in his arms and they were married. And it was all as he had promised, for she spent her honeymoon with Darnum and Nalley's circus, where he had a steady job keeping mice away from the elephants. The present status of knowledge regarding the flora of the Philippines is reviewed in a recent paper by E.D. Merrill, in the Philippine Journal of Science. In the last fifteen years the number of known species of flowering plants has increased from 2,500 to more than 7,000, but it is probable that the total number is not less than 10,000. Most definite botanical exploration has thus far been confined to parts of Luzon and Mindanao. Philippine Flora. PEASANT WITH TRUE VISION Traveler Heard Robert Burns Praise Washington, the American, for His Patriotism. A traveler exploring the wild beauty of the Caves of Colzean in Scotland met a young pessant, who astonished him by his poetic description of the scene, according to Hugh Miller's "Tales and Sketches" published in Boston half a century ago. A discussion of literature and philosophy, as well as nature, is concluded as follows, an exchange remarks: "Man," said my companion, "should love his species at all times, but it is ill with him if in times like these he loves not his country more. The spirit of war and aggression is yet abroad; there are laws to be established, rights to be defended, invaders to be repulsed, tyrants to be deposed. And who but the patriot is equal to these things? We are not yet done with the Bruces, the Wallaces, the Tells, the Washingtons—yes, the Washingtons, whether they fight for us or against us—we are not done with them. But we are getting ashamed of our country, of our language, our manners, our music, our literature; nor shall we have enough of the old spirit left us to, assert our liberties or fight our battles. Oh, for some Barbour or Blind Harry of the present day, to make us once more proud of our country!" I quoted the famous saying of Fletcher of Saltoun, "Let me make the songs of a country, and I will let you make its laws." "But here," I said, "is our lugger stealing round Turnberry Head. We shall soon part, perhaps forever, and I would fain know with whom I have spent an hour so agreeably, and have some name to know him by. My own name is Matthew Lindsay. I am a native of Irvine." "And I," said the young man, rising and cordially grasping the proffered hand, "am a native of Ayr. My name is Robert Burns." WONDERFUL INSECT IS FLY Nuisance, and a Menace to Human Life, but Well Worth the Most Careful Study. Kill a fly, but study him. He is a wonderful creature, though a menace and a nuisance, writes Garrett P. Serviss. His muscles are as strong as steel; his nerve action is as quick as lightning. If you were proportionately as strong as a fly you could seize a beam over your head with your hands, and, with two tons of iron fastened to your feet, easily raise yourself, together with the attached weight, from the floor. This calculation is no mere guess; it is based upon experiments made by the Belgian naturalist, Felix Plateau, who harnessed insects and small animals of many kinds, in very ingenious ways, to ascertain their strength. Likewise, if a fly were as big as a man, and retained his relative strength, he could kill tigers with his hands and split asunder the jaws of lions with much more ease than Samson did. If you were as quick as a fly you could let an oncoming express train, travelling a mile a minute, come within a foot of your nose and then dodge it. Strike at a fly that is lazily circling with a playmate before your eyes and observe with what nonchalant ease he avoids your blow and instantly returns to his play. Time Lock Universal. Practically all the modern safe deposits possess time locks. These timepieces operate from one hour to three days. When the doors are closed the timepiece is set, and on no account can the doors be reopened until the clock has run its allotted time. The other week a clerk overwound the timepiece at a well-known safe deposit, with the result that the renters could not gain access to their safes until late in the afternoon. Anyone, of course, can hire a safe in a public safe deposit by paying the necessary rent. Each renter is supplied with his own key, and if he loses it his safe has to be broken open, for the company does not possess duplicate keys. New Discovery In Iron. Very pure iron in tubes and other forms is a French factory's electrolytic product from a basis of ordinary cast-iron. To cause a deposition of iron on the surface, the negative pole is rotated in a solution of ferrous salt, which is kept neutral by iron turnings placed at the bottom of the tank, and by adding iron oxide as depolarizer. The electrolytic iron deposited, very hard at first, becomes soft and malleable, with the giving off of some gas, on annealing. A rod being used as core, iron pipes are produced direct, and the production of sheet iron, without rolling, is expected and is looked upon as very valuable for electrical machinery. Cow Makes New Butter Record Cow Makes New Butter Record. A world's record for butter production has just been completed at Pina Groves farm, owned by Oliver Cabana, Jr., of Buffalo, by Lady Pontiac Johana, a three-and-a-half-year-old cow valued at $20,000. In seven days Lady Pontiac Johana produced 4181-100 pounds of butter and 658 pounds of milk. This performance makes her the third highest classed cow in the world, the two higher ones being full-grown animals. She beat the former world's butter record by 5% pounds. WESTERMANN BROS.
