Subscription $1.00 Per Annum HENRY ALLEN BOYD FLAYS SUTTON E. GRIGGS Lumberton, Miss., Nov. 4th (Special to Adrocyate)—In an hour and fifty minute's speech before the East Mississippi Baptist State Convention, Henry Allen Boyd, the secretary of the Sunday School Congress and the son of Rev. R. H. Boyd, D.D., the secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, completely annihilated Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, who preceded him in a two hour and ten minute speech before the same convention. The Rev. Mr. Griggs was supporting the Incorporated side of the National Baptist Convention and condemning the National Baptist Publishing Board at Nashville. In course of his argument the Rev. Mr. Griggs reviewed a long list of accusations against Dr. Boyd, the father of Henry A., relative to his attitude and conduct of the Publishing Board. In answering the Rev. Mr. Griggs, Henry A. Boyd completely demonstrated to the satisfaction of the magnificent audience using his own language, "that Rev. Griggs was not only false in one statement, but was false in his entire presentation." Rev. Boyd presented the deeds and transfers to the property as his first proof that the charges were false. These deeds and transfers were passed upon by an eminent white lawyer of the Mississippi state senate, who declared after a thorough examination, that every deed and transfer was correct. Step by step Rev. Mr. Boyd tore holes in his opponent's speech, finally working Rev. Mr. Griggs up to the point where he lost his temper, and, with a mad and frantic look on his face, he advanced towards Mr. Boyd, who, smilingly waved him off and told him to take his medicine. President Lee of the Convention admitted Rev. Griggs that Rev. Mr. Boyd had sat quietly and smilingly throughout his (Griggs') address and had shown him every possible courtesy. The president insisted upon Rev. Mr. Griggs taking and keeping his seat while the Rev. Mr. Boyd poured, as it was announced here, grape-shot and shell into his antagonist. "I will prove conclusively to every minister on the floor of the convention that the Rev. Mr. Griggs, like many of those in his camp, is a monumental failure. They have never built anything, not even a chicken coop. They have never run anything except their mouths," declared Mr. Boyd in reaching one of his climaxes. He showed that the Rev. Mr. Griggs, his opponent, had collected thousands of dollars of the people's money under the guise of building a theological seminary, and that he could not show five hundred dollars in actual buildings in the way of a theological seminary. "Where is the people's money? What have you done with it?" said Mr. Boyd. The convention went wild and Mr. Griggs became more excited and angry. At the conclusion it was the unanimous opinion of the East Mississippi convention that David had killed Goliath, and that the National Baptist Publishing Board with R. H. Boyd as secretary, at Nashville, Tenn., would continue to get the support of the Negro Baptists of the state of Mississippi because of the great and good work it is doing in not only sending out Negro Baptist literature written, printed and bound by Negro groves, but because it is giving employment to scores of Negro boys and girls who otherwise, would be out of employment. Both speakers left to day for their respective homes, one the victor, the other the vanquished. Mrs. Willis Allen, 1001 Walker, is ill.

The great need of Kansas City, Kansas, is to be considered next Wednesday evening, November 22nd when some of the leading business and professional men will assemble at the office of McNeal & Anderson, 400 Minnesota avenue, to lay plans for the purchase of an office building. That five story brick building at the northeast corner of Fifth and Minnesota, has been under consideration for some time and can be bought at the low figure of $22,500.00. It is agreed by all that the one great need of the colored business and professional man is a respectable office building into which they can all assemble under one roof and do business. I. B. BLACKBURN STRICKEN. Mr. L. B. Blackburn of North Ninth street, and one of the city's prominent real estate men, was found last Sunday morning about 10 o'clock in a semi-conscious condition lying on the floor of his room. A physician was called and it was found a stroke of paralysis had been the cause, which occurred some time Saturday night or Sunday morning. His entire left side was paralyzed. He was removed to St. Margaret's hospital where his condition is thought to be quite critical. Mr. Blackburn lived alone and was only discovered when he failed to come to his morning meal where he boarded. His many friends hope for his recovery soon. STATE CAPITAL NEWS The colored teachers of the state, were well represented in the State Teachers' association which has just closed its session here. The pipeorgan recital given by Prof. Jackson of Kansas City for the entertainment of the association is highly spoken of many. Cards are out, announcing a carnival to be given under the management of the Men's club of St. Simon's church at Metropolitan hall, on the evening of November 24. It promises to be a very brilliant affair. The king of the carnival is Mr. John Odell. Much speculation is who the queen will be up to date all that is known in relation to queen-to-be is that she will be gorgeously gowned, and attended by twenty or more beautiful maids, in costume. Mrs. W. I. Jamison is to be mistress of the robes and Mr. Jas. H. Guy, master of ceremonies. The Inter-State Literary Society of Kansas and the west, convenes in this city on December 27, 28 and 29, and promises to be a very interesting session, it having been twenty-five years, since in Topeka the association was organized. President G. G. Brown of Wichita, is very desirous that the press of the country make mention of the dates of this meeting and otherwise direct the attention of the people to it. In order that the literary societies of the country composing the association may have a voice in the meeting, it will necessary that they send in the names of their delegates and representatives to the corresponding secretary, Mrs. E. M. Guy, 410 Kansas avenue, Topeka, Kas., within the next ten days, of before December 1st. Of all political breaks, the most remarkable one is, Kansas, a Republican state, electing her entire state ticket, and yet being lost to Hughes, the Republican candidate for the presidency. There is no substantial reason why this should have been. There should have been a red-hot fire-eating campaign put on by the state committee. Had this been done, we would not only have given the state to Hughes but would also elected a majority to congress. Such gross neglect of duty, is deserving severe criticism. The best campaigners in the party were not called into active service. And why? Among the color- KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, NOVEMBER 17, 1916. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC! NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC! WE HAVE KEPT FROM IT AS LONG AS WE COULD—HIGH COST OF PAPER COMPELS US TO DO SO. Owing to the advance of price in newspaper print in the past twelve months with prospects of it going another four hundred per cent up in the next few months, we regret very much to say that on January 1, 1917, The Advocate will have to raise its subscription to $1.50 per year. The monthly rate in the city will be 15 cents. Nearly all dollar papers throughout the country have long since raised their price of subscription, but The Advocate has been hopeful and holding out for a drop in prices, but there seems no relief at all. A CHANCE TO GET THE PAPER FOR $1.00. All those who subscribe between now and January 1, 1917, for one year, will receive The Advocate for one year for one dollar, payable in advance. If you want to save 50 cents send in your $1.00 before January 1, 1917. All who fail to pay up by January 1, will be dropped from our books. This, however, will not exempt any one who is in debt to the paper, from paying. According to the Federal law, anyone owing for a newspaper is held responsible and expected to settle the claim. Remember, you can still take advantage of the $1.00 per year in advance rate, by paying your subscription before January 1, 1917. Send your money into the office, 834 Nebraska Ave.. Kansas City, Kansas. ed campaigners we learn of but one of ability that was called into service. Why the services of others were rejected we are at a loss to know. There is no reason why, with two strong leaders, Hughes and Capper, every Republican congressman should not have been elected. Just a little "pep" would have served the state to all. Now that Governor Capper is re-elected and the "hold-overs" appointed by ex-Governor Hodges have served their terms, it remains to be seen what the governor will do for the colored contingent of the party. Some substantial recognition should be given the colored voters of this state. We are losing our political standing in this state. In none of the departments of state government do we see a colored person occupying a representative position. Such should not be the case. The colored voter, the most constant of all members of the party, should have his loyalty encouraged by giving such political recognition as his party loyalty deserves. Let us have a get-together meeting. What say you, boys? ST. CLOUD. TO HAVE A WELFARE OFFICER SPRING ELECTION COMING. The commissioners have finally decided that a colored officer of some kind is needed in the city and have decided to put a lock on the door after the horse has been stolen. Some dozen murders have been registered in the past year and none of them have been convicted. We not only need a welfare officer, but a few regular patrolmen. Spring election will soon be here and things come to pass nearing its approach that are not heard of at other times. This appointment will be a man who is well qualified for the place and a better selection in all the city white or black could not have been made. The public will know in a few days who the gentleman is. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH. Dr. Ransom delivered an extra strong sermon last Sunday morning to a large and appreciative congregation. While Rev. Ransom is serving his fifth year, his gospel messages are no less appreciated than his first year. Rev. Albert Brown, one of our young theologs, preached a splendid sermon at the evening service. The church is taking on new life, especially in a financial way and from one to five join the church most every Sunday. The auxiliaries of the church elected their officers last week and Sunday. The trustees were elected last Friday evening and are as follows: Shelton French, Geo. McClelland, Dr. S. H. Thompson, Preston Younger, Chas. Williams, J. H. Clayborne, J. E. Patterson, Dorsey Green and W. H. Jarroth. The ladies will serve a turkey dinner at the church on Thanksgiving day, November 30. ADVOCATE And Independent JO THE PUBLIC!

Game Called 3 O'clock Admission . . . 50 Cents DR. JACKSON VISITS PLATTS BURG, MO. Dear Friend:— I have just come home from a trip over to Plattsburg, Mo. It is a very nice little village or town. There are three churches for our people, A. M. E. Christian and Missionary Baptist. Also an Odd. Fellows, lodge. There are about 5,000 people, approximately 400 Negro population. Rev. Win. Alford, D.D., is the pastor of the Second Baptist church. He has been there about sixteen months, and is doing a good in the city and church. They raised a little more than $1,000 last year, or pastoral year just ending. His people regard him as a great factor in the city and church. Brother Dickerson, a young man, is superintendent of the Sunday school and is serving his second term. The school is in a very healthy and prosperous condition. Sister Alford, the pastor's wife, is an energetic Christian woman and is doing much good in the work of the Mission circle. Pastor Alford has just closed a very good meeting in his church. It was well attended most of the time and was enjoyed by those in attendance. The writer was in the battle of the Lord with pastor and church and the Lord saved six souls and there were two restored. Mr. and Mrs. Kelley, with whom I stopped, have a nice home and they with the pastor and wife made it very pleasant for me while there. On my return home to the people of my best choice, I found them waiting and on Sunday morning we preached on the subject of Christ and all the people. The evening subject was, "Beware of Companionship." All enjoyed the services. Rev. Williams, formerly of Chicago, will preach for us next Sunday night, November 19. God bless his cause.—D. B.

NO.13 ASSOCIATE EDITORS ARTICLE COMMENTED And That The Dead is Alive—The Lost is Found, and The Prodigal is Returning — While The APPEAL MAN, Brings up The Rear. That sounds all right, Mr. Editor. And permit me to congratulate you on the good work of The Advocate in the premises. The article in the last issue, by Mr. G. A. Gregg, on Segregation, was full of Human Interest, and Reason; and of "Sterling Worth." The truths set forth in it, were clear, clean-cut and well directed. They were sledge-hammer blows against the wrongs perpetrated by a class of people, therein called "Human Moles" out of which class certain Negroes choose their "Other Friends." While the conclusion's reached therein, force themselves on all alike. And these conclusions bring to mind, in bold relief, other conclusions, not therein written, yet of which, we get the moral force and effect; as fully as if they had been written at large therein. We agree with you, Brother Gregg, that Segregation is wrong and reprehensible in those whom you call "Human Moles"—Yes, it is wrong and reprehensible in them; even though, they are of the same type of people, as are those "other friends" of a certain class of Negroes; And I mean that class who can see nothing good in Negroes, while they see all excellence in their "other friends." And we further believe that it is equally as wrongful, cowardly and reprehensible, in a Negro to segregate, and set apart his black Brothers; as those, with whom he will not deal, when it is a question of recognizing Honor and Ability—as it is in those "Human Moles" of whom you spoke so appropriately. And now that you have so suitably named the one class, who wish to segregate in one way—will you kindly give us an equally suitable name, for that class of Negroes—who when they come to the exchange of thoughts, deeds, actions, opinions or money—for comodity in the trades and professions—can see nothing commendable in their Fellow-Black-Men, while they see all that is desirable, in their "other friends" as they trail along BEHIND them. And I implore—Brother Gregg—please give us a suitable name for that class. (I confess, I "AINT" got no name for them.) Changing the subject—but not the theme—we are mindful of the fact, that not every one, who assumes to ask consideration at the hand of his Fellow-Black-Man, is entitled to receive it. We know that there are those who are Un-worthy—who do not "see through a glass dimly" even. And next week, a few doses from "Looking into the Future" will be applied to this class. Very Respt.

Every Republican candidate who was elected Tuesday, November 7, in Wyandoote county concedes his office through the loyalty of the colored elector of this county. Now it is to be shown by these victors how much they appreciate their work and vote. Some of these candidates who were elected, unsolicited pledged themselves publicly where they stood and what they would do for the colored people if elected, so it has come to pass, and their word was taken as their bond so no one has any right to question the power and veracity of any of these gentlemen elect, for they are men of their word. The Advocate has no one to offer for any appointment, but would like to see the race and community represented by persons who stand far more than mere politicians and especially that class of politicians of grafters double ladder climbers and law-breakers. Good men are not hard to find, lad ones are always on hand. The Citizens' Forum met as usual at the Metropolitan Temple and the following program was rendered: (1) Sacred music, led by Chaplain Brown, (2) current events, (3) instrumental duet, Miss Elizabeth Wilson and Prof. R. G. Jackson, encored (4) address, "Opportunity," Lawyer Herrod of the district court, (5) vocal solo, "O God, Be Merciful," Madame Nelle Hendrix, encored and sang again then was requested to give an instrumental selection, (6) recitation, Catharine Rhodes, encored. This fine program was enjoyed by the large audience; especially the perfect time and fine playing of Miss E. Wilson, our "musical" prodigy." Prof. Jackson, her teacher and her relatives and friends must feel proud of her. Lawyer Herrod said some very good things but some said "he does not know yet just how to appear among the better class of colored people." President W. Dwiggins appointed a committee to protest against our people being "segregated" by the white people, unless for disease, crime, etc. It is as follows: Judge Bradley, Mr. H. Dwiggins, Rev. D. A. Holmes, Miss C. Davis, Mrs. M. C. Matthews, Attorney Shackleford, Prof. T. Davis, Prof. A. J. Neely, Mrs. F. Morris, Miss K. Johnson, Attorney Hendrickson and Mr. Thomas Knapper. Sunday, November 19th, Messrs Tucker and Wendall French will have charge of the program. Prof. T. H Reynolds is their sponsor. Also Prof. Nathaniel Sawyers of Topeka, a great speaker, on segregation will speak at the Forum. ANNOUNCEMENT. Attorney, Shackelford wishes to announce that he has removed his office to 611 Minnesota avenue where he will be pleased to receive his friends and plaques. Some Record Trips From City to City Which Have Been Made by Noted Thesplans. Envious persons who have been known to pooh-pooh the actor who thinks that his life is not all cakes and ale. Many years ago we thought the limit had been reached when E. L. Davenport acted at a matinee in Philadelphia and duplicated the performance in New York the same night. Later came the sensational jump of Lawrence Barrett by special train from New York to San Francisco in less than four days and the Joseph Brooks-Janauschek leap from Milwaukee to Philadelphia between Saturday midnight and Monday in time for a regular performance in the latter city. Once Richard Mansfield's energies compassed a hurry trip between New Orleans and Chicago. On a Saturday evening he presented "Julius Caesar" in the Crescent City and on the next succeeding Monday evening he repeated the experience in Chicago. Meanwhile, he had traveled a thousand miles and transspirted all the ponderous impediments of his well-remembered production of the Shakespeare classic. This is how it was done: A special train in ten cars was under steam in New Orleans at the close of the engagement. As soon as a scene of the play was worked off it was conveyed on trucks to the whiting special. When the curtain fell on the last act the players who appeared in it without changing their costumes, were driven to the railway station, and the train was out of sight of New Orleans before midnight. Right of way was given for the entire distance, and relays of fresh engines were provided from division to division. Thus a new record between the gulf and Lake Michigan was made. The running time for the 1,000 miles was 23 hours. WASTE OF MENTAL ENERGY Of All Forms of Foolishness the Giving Way to Anger Is About the Worst. It wouldn't be easy to find the person who never makes a careless or unkind remark. None of us likes to be criticized for every chance word we may happen to utter. Why allow ourselves to become angry at some chance remark or carelessness of another? Give him time to recover his good nature. "A soft answer turneth away wrath." Very likely the hard word wasn't meant, anyhow, and was no sooner uttered than repented of. Do not lose your temper because someone else lost his. It isn't well that two should be angry at the same time. If someone really wishes to be mean to you, the best return you can make is to show him he can say nothing important enough to disturb you. It is the best revenge one can take. Anger is not good for body or mind. It poisons the blood; it disturbs circulation; it retards digestion. It takes from your vitality and saps strength. It hinders you from being happy or from giving happiness to others. It is a waste of mental energy. It leaves a scar on the soul not easily affaced. If you would retain your self-respect, keep control of your temper. Anger is the weapon of the fool. A Good Indian. With all his faults, the American Indian in his best estate has the mighty virtues of loyalty and courage. A touching example of the nobility of character that many of them are capable of is given in the late John Muir's "Travels in Alaska." Mr. Muir describes the coming of missionaries to the Stickeen Indians of Fort Wrangell and their success in Christianizing them. The tribesmen, he says, were encouraged to accept the Christian faith by their head chief; but he told them he could not himself become a Christian, for this reason: "I wish you to learn this new religion and teach it to your children, so that you may all go when you die to that good heaven country of the white man and be happy. But I am too old to learn a new religion; and, besides many of my people who have died were bad and foolish people, and, if this word the missionaries have brought us is true, as I think it is, many of my people must be in that bad country the missionaries call 'hell' and I must go there also, for a, Stickeen, chief never deserts his people in time of trouble. To that bad country, therefore, I will go, and try to cheer my people and help them us best I can to endure their misery."—Youth's Companion. Making Lead Penclla. Missouri—Particularly the Ozark hills—furnishes the greater part of the wood used in making lead pencils. Though many other varieties have been tried, none has proved as satisfactory as the red cedar. The cedars grow on the rocky hillsides all through the White river district of Missouri. They are small, stunted trees, seldom reaching a diameter of more than a foot at the butt. At the mill the logs are first cut lengthwise by circular saws into planks. These are cut into right lengths for lead pencils, and those chunks go into the hands of men who, with circular saws, rip them up into what are called "slats". Only the red heart of the log is used; the white sapwood, is thrown away. The slats are bound in bundles and sent to New York, where the greater part are worked up into lead pencils, and the remainder goes to lead pencil factories in Europe.

Selous, Famed on Two Conti- nents, Fighting With the Allied Troops in East Africa. Capt. F. C. Selous, famous through- out the world as a big-game hunter, is hunting the biggest game that has fallen to his lot. For he has joined the allies, and somewhere in East Africa is accrediting him so well that only recently he was mentioned in dispatches for "gallant and distinguished conduct." Selous, among the natives of Afrique, is noted as a scout and hunter. Although he has passed his sixty-fourth birthday, age did not deter him from joining the Legion of Frontiersmen in February, 1915, and, a month later, he was gazetted a temporary second-lieutenant of the Twenty-fifth battalion Royal Fusillers. Since then, he has been promoted to a captaincy. Since he was a youth of nineteen, Selous has spent his life hunting big game in the wilds of Africa. When he left Rugby, he packed his equipment and sought Matabeleland, where he started his career. Years ago, he brought down his hundredth elephant. Seventy-eight of them were slaughtered with an old smooth-bore, muzzle-loading duck gun. He holds a record of three full-grown lions in four shots, and his aggregate bag of big game runs into the thousands. Besides scouring Africa, he made a 1,500-mile tour of Alaska hunting moose and caribou. "Selous is usually accredited with having been the inspiration for Sir Rider Haggard's "Allan Quatermain," "Allan Quatermain's Wife," and "King Solomon's Mines." EXCELLENT TRAIT IS CAUTION Better to Be Sure Before You Move Than to Have Occasion for Vain Regrets. Caution is the parent of safety. It is better to use caution in time than regrets too late. It is better to give the mind some exercise in consideration before beginning a new thing, remarks the Milwaukee Journal. It is wise to make friends slowly. Some people like to boast of being "so impulsive," and think that this should be an acceptable excuse for many failings. Impulse is often a good thing, but it needs a long course of careful training before it can be safely indulged. First impressions are often deceiving. One may not at first be attractive in appearance, but on further acquaintance prove to be admirable in character. Those who are impulsive in making professions of friendship are not entirely to be depended on to be permanent or reliable. In giving way to a strong liking or aversion one often does injustice. Acquaintance is quite as likely to show admirable as unlikable qualities. Often an aversion has been changed to a deep and true friendship. And, on the other hand some who appear admirable on first meeting, prove otherwise. Do no judge hastily on the impulse of a moment. Acts done on the impulse of the moment may cause repentance for many a year. Short. and to the Point. A book entitled "Coke of Norfolk and His Friends" gives a picture of an earlier period of English rural life when there was more of a feeling of equality between land owners and their laborers than exists today, and describes a dinner given at the end of the sheep-shearing season. The shortest speech on record at the elipping is the following. It came from a farmer who had been observed making efforts to rise to his feet, but had been pulled back by his companions. Suddenly Coke noticed what was going on and interfered. "I see," he said, "that good fellow has something to say to us. Pray let him speak." The man, thus encouraged, rose triumphantly to his feet and hammered on the table. Profound silence at once reigned through the room, and he delivered himself as follows: "Master Coke and gentlemen, what I wish to say is—if more landlords would doe as Master Coke he doe, there'd be less doe as they doe doe!" And amid thunders of applause he resealed himself. Modern Fiction. "Will you?" he murmured, gazing into her eyes appealingly. But she was undecided and turned away. "Say 'yes!'" he exclaimed, hourly. "Don't let me go without some encouragement!" He bent down and showed her the rich presents he had to offer; dull, animal appeal poured from his very soul into hers. She drew a deep breath. "I will," she whispered, unsteadily. "Wait." He watched her as she left him, and a smile curled his lip as he saw her return, clutching her husband's second-best trousers in a limp hand. "Well, mum!" he sald, cheerfully. "What'll you have; a fern or a geran'um?" Students at Berlin. There are more students at the University of Berlin than a year ago.

LIKE PIECE OF FAIRYLAND Remarkable Cavern, Known as Shattuck Cave, Discovered When Miner Sets Off Blast. A blast in the Shattuck mine in Arizona, set for the purpose of bringing down ore, was responsible for the discovery of a remarkable cavern, now known as Shattuck Cave, which has yielded unusual mineral specimens, some of the finest of which have been added to the collection at the Michigan College of Mines. When the miner who had been working in that part of the 300-foot level returned with the night shift he found a great opening that reached farther than his light could penetrate. Looking upward, he could see tiny lights flashing, and, in the belief that they were stars, he run back to the shaft and declared that he had blasted a hole clear through the surface. On investigating the mine official found that the blast had opened a great circular cavern 345 feet in diameter and 175 feet high, which seemed like a piece of fairyland. On the roof myriads of crystals reflected the lights from the miners' lamp. The walls, the roof and the floor were covered with great clusters of crystals, and near the center of the cavern a mass of stalactites, 40 feet long, hung from the ceiling like a grent chandelier. For the most part the crystals were pure white, in in places where the filtering waters had contained iron and copper great transparent stalacites and stalagmites, some ruby red, others a clear emerald green or azure blue, added to the beauty of the scene,—Argonaut. APHORISMS OF GREAT MAN Trite Sayings of Napoleon Have Been Collected and Classified, and Are Worth Attention. Among the Frenchmen who have contributed to gnomic literature is Napoleon: "Adversity is the midwife of genius." "Love is folly committed by two." "It is imagination which loses battles." "A good philosopher makes a bad citizen." "The man the least free is the man bound to party." These and several hundred other of his truths and half-truths were collected and classified by Jules Bertaut. They have been translated by H. E. Law and C. L. Rhoades as "Napoleon: In His Own Words." The collection does not pretend to be complete nor to add anything new, but it is sufficient to mirror the man of action in a striking way. The aphorisms, of course, lack consistency and continuity, because Napoleon had no profound moral convictions. He was no philosopher nor a publicist seeking to mold events by political reason. He was a man of action, who spoke for the immediate effect which his words might accomplish — a Roman Catholic in France and a Mohammedan in Egypt. "Simpletons talk of the past, wise men of the present, and fools of the future." The translations are good, but many a reader would like to have the date, chapter and verse cited; for half the significance of a saying often lies in the occasion on which it was uttered. Might Move Some Time. Being economical is an excellent virtue, but old Skinflint had practiced this quality to such an extent that with him it had become almost a vice. His wife was sometimes driven almost to the verge of distraction by his meanness. The elimax came when they moved into a new house. When old Skinflint was out his wife thought she would repaper the walls of the drawing room so as to make it look attractive and pretty. But when Skinflint saw it he nearly had a fit. "I don't dislike the pattern or the color," he gasped, purple in the face with rage, "but I do object to the way you have put it on. You extravagant woman," he cried, "how dare you paste it on?" "Why, how else could I have done it?" meekly answered his wife. "How else?" he retorted. "You should have facked it on. You don't suppose we shall always live in this house, do you?" Realize the Good You Desire. He who knows the spirit of law is not forced to stand powerless in anguish, of heart before wasting sickness. Strive with all the power within you (and it is great if you but recognize it) to break down the walls of belief that any eyil can dominate you. Cast out the error that stands between you and the greatest good you desire. As surely as the sunlight of day melts into the purple twilight of evening, so surely do you strike sturdy, determined blows against the prison walls of delusion and false belief. Not a pain but will vanish when the wise tongue gives it the lie. Not a misfortune but will give place to peace and joy when the wise tongue speaks truth concerning it—Unity. Popularity. The definition of popularity as given by a salesman in a large music shop is one that may be applied to other things besides songs. "Is this a popular song?" asked a young woman, holding up a sheet of music brilliantly decorated in red and green. "Well, no, you must the salesman, you must a musicaliaire. I can't scroll it, as yet. Of course, lots of people are shouting it, and everybody likes it, but nobody got fired enough of it yet, for it to be what you'd call a popular song, nigra."

SOME NEW TESTS OF DEATH Italian Scientist Has Made Public Methods for Determining When Life Is Ended. An Italian scientist describes the following three new methods of determining the cessation of life: "The first is the ether test. A drop of ether is instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye. If this is followed by a reddening of the conjunctiva it affords proof that the circulation is intact and that life is still present. The other eye is used as a control. "The second test consists in the subcutaneous injection of fluorescn, which, if the individual is still living, is soon followed by a yellowish coloring of the skin and mucosa. The conjunctiva and the mucous membrane of the mouth, and particularly of the frenum of the tongue, show this coloration most distinctly. A negative result is obtained in cases of marked slowing or enfeeblement of the circulation. "The third test consists in direct exploration of the heart by means of a stylet. This is introduced through a small incision in one of the intercostal spaces. Any movement in the heart is communicated to the stylet." --- An illuminated fountain pen which carries its own miniature battery and tiny Mazda lamp is used for writing at night. PUBLICATION NOTICE.
