Subscription $1.00 Per Annum TIS A CONSUMATION DEVOUTLY TO BE WISHED TIS A CONSUMATION DEVOUTLY TO BE WISHED AT LAST—BUT AT LAST—AT LAST "Is a consummation devoutly to be wished." We have seen the necessity, and force, and efficiency of united action. Yes, we have decided to join heart and hand; in an united effort to protect our interest against a common enemy to suffering humanity. And it does not matter, that this condition of affairs has been brought about by reason of a needless, and an American attack upon our common right as citizens, so long as it has been, "Sufficient unto the day, be the evil thereof." It is not that any well balanced person, desires to be any nearer to a certain kind and class of persons—than such other persons would have them be. It is not that any well balanced person of the race, desires to be any nearer to certain other persons, not of the race, than such other persons would have them be,—but on the contrary, it is but the manly expression and assertion of a common right of citizenship; that makes each and every one of us revolt at the notion of segregation. And we rejoice, and are "Exceedingly Glad" to see such united and efficient action in the premises. And it is but one step further, and in the same direction, for us to determine? "United in thought, effort and purpose; are we—and from this day forward,—never again shall we be otherwise." "While it has been upon a heavy sea, and under an adverse wave; that we have learned this very valuable lesson—we will make of it, "The tide, that leads to Fortune." The fortune that lies in store; for one imbued with the notion of Thinking and Reasoning. kind of Thinking and Reason that makes one feel and know. that there can be no real progress on our part, while we are grossly inconsistent and false to ourselves and to our Race. That kind of Thinking and Reason, that makes one feel and know. That it is Wee, Small, Niggard and Contemptible; to be active, forward, and loud in Protesting; when it is a question of heaping wrong upon the whole race, in such a way as to reach the Party protesting—for that same protesting party—when it is a question of doing their duty, in recognizing ability, true worth and efficiency, in members of the race; to sneak away, and spend their effort and their substance, to the up-building of those, who do nothing but take all you render unto them, (their other friends) while for you, they hold nothing but contempt and desire your undoing The kind of thinking and reasoning that will impress the idea and notion—that such Hollow, Empty and Honest protests mean nothing, and are of no effect, unless they are backed up by Honesty of Purpose, together with a Manly and Womanly Respect for Worth and Merit in our fellow-man, although he, like ourselves, wears the dark skin of a Negro. That kind of thinking and reasoning, that will make us bottle-up a very able dissertation, delivered by our fellow citizen, "Looking into the Future" and from it, take Alopathic doses daily. Of this dissertation, we will have more to say later, for we will keep up this Appeal. Waltzing Contest AT M. and O. Hall THURSDAY NIGHT, NOVEMBER 30TH, 1916 — THANKSGIVING NIGHT. Prizes—A Beautiful-Punch Set, 16 Inches In Diameter. Handsome Mission Smoking Set. FINE ORCHESTRA ADMISSION 25 CENTS. W. M. Mundy, Prea. J. F. Crockett, Vice-Pres. B. G. Crockett, Sec. The combined recital given at the First A. M. E. church last evening by Thos. Johnson, baritone; Miss Johnson, his sister, soprano, and Mme. Stewart, plano, was a trio of high class artists and while the audience was not equal to the class of entertainment, it was none the less appreciative and time after time were the performers called back. Mr. Johnson has a correct-baritone voice with depth and range, with splendid diction. A richer baritone is seldom heard than Mr. Johnson's. Miss Johnson, soprano, has a well rounded voice with great latitude. It is sweet, mellow and full of musical expression and shows possibilities of greater development. Mme Stewart as a pianist—there are not many who have such technique as she. Her numbers as the singers, were of our best authors and the performance of each number was nothing but remarkable. As one old brother was heard to say, "My, O my, don't dat gal claw dem ivories!" A return engagement of this musical combination without a doubt would fill this large church auditorium to its full capacity. THE ANNUAL FOOTBALL CLASH THANKSGIVING DAY AT ASSOCIATION PARK, WESTERN UNIVERSITY VS. LINCOLN INSTITUTE. The annual gridiron clash of brain, brawn and muscle between the two greatest colored colleges of the Middle West, will take place Thursday of next week, Thanksgiving day, at Association Park, Kansas City, Mo. One team of football warriors from Western University, Quindaro, Kansas, and the other from Lincoln Institute, Lincoln, Mo. These two schools have for many years been what college athletes call bitter rivals and as Western up to this time has considerably the best of their old fighters of Missouri, every year brings warmer blood between these two teams. Lincoln's coach, Mr. West, says he will have this game if it takes every student in the institute to win it. Prof. Jackson of Western, says W. U. will still retain her past record and will use only the college team. Lincoln expects to bring her student body and all professors who haven't a weak heart. W. U. will be there in full force accompanied by the entire faculty, regardless of any palpitation of the seat of life. While, these annual laurels are meaningless to some, they carry and mean much to the life of a student whose love and patriotism reaches much farther than mere self. The Western University band will be on hand to enliven things. A record breaking crowd is expected this year from the intense feeling that now exists, between these two teams. JUDGE-SIMS TAKES YOUNG COL ORED MAN-IN HIS OFFICE. Judge John T. Sims of the probate court has taken in his office a young colored man, Mr. Walker Manaway. It is hoped that other officers may follow the example set by Judge Sims. It is only fair to the taxpayers and citizens who are putting something in all the time and get nothing back. Taxation without representation will within itself bring about hatred, animosity, ill feeling and finally result in the best friends and neighbors in becoming hostile toward one another. Judge Sims is to be congratulated in being one whose heart and soul stands for justice toward all mankind. The Forum was the first organization to take steps toward asking for our constitutional rights concerning "sogregation." Mr. A. Sykes and Mrs. Meeks attended the Sunday school convention. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, NOVEMBER 24, 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..

CHURCH, AT OAKLAND AND EIGHTH STREETS. Rev. M. I. Warfield who has been the beloved and faithful pastor of the C. M. E. church of this city for several years, was returned for another year by the presiding bishop of this district at the Annual Conference, which closed at Leavenworth, Kas., last week. The members of this church and the many friends of Dr. Warfield in the two cities congratulate and receive him with hearts, full of gratitude and joy. The doctor preached a masterly sermon Sunday morning to a large and spiritual congregation. Dr. J. W. Jacobs ex-pastor and presiding elder of this church, preached a owl-stirring sermon at the evening service. The Neighborhood Bible class at Mrs. L. T. Green's was opened by Mrs. L. Hall. The lesson was given by the leader. It was very instructive. Bible quotations and talks were fine. Closed with that beautiful song, "Face to Face." At Mrs. Kemp's on North Eighth-street a reading meeting was held, although the weather was in-plement. The next meeting will be at Mrs. William Boone's, 1028 Freeman avenue.

WELFARE OFFICER A BETTER SELECTION COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MADE. Mr. Presley Younger, an ex-police man of this city, and one of the best officers who ever walked the streets of Kansas City, Kansas, was appointed and confirmed Monday as a welfare officer. There could have been no better selection in the city of any race for this office and its duties than Mr. Younger. As a policeman those who know of his work and worth as an officer when he patrolled these streets admit his removal from the force left, a gap open that quickly filled with more vice, murder and immorality than ever occurred in our fair metropolis in its history in so short a time. Officer Younger is a man of excellent temperament, good reasoning powers, a cool and fearless head and was never known to be handled by men or any set of men. The citizens and city are to be complimented in the selection of this man, which has long been needed and especially by the race, who wish to see high class citizenship extend its borders and that lawless element either come within the confines of decent citizens or be driven out, we feel thankful to those in authority who saw and realized the condition and its needs. It was long in coming, but on arriving the proper remedy was applied. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE. At 11 a. m. service Rev. Holmes preached from John 3:16, a very fine sermon, and the Holy Spirit was manifest in many. At 8 p. m. he preached from Luke 3:4-5. Theme, "How We May See the Salvation of God." It was a fine sermon which told of the deceit of the hypocrites, or lax church members. The ordinary collection was about $60. Wednesday night Rev. Hayden preached. Thursday and Friday the Missionary and Sewing Circles had good meetings. These two societies have the largest room in the church as a rest room. It has pretty rugs and mirrors, etc., in W for ladies. FOOTBALL GAME Western University vs. Lincoln Institute THANKSGIVING DAY THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30TH 1916 AT Association Park 20th and Olive, Kansas City, Mo. Game Called 3 O'clock Admission . . . 50 Cents Paola, Kas., Nov. 22., 1916. Special to Advocate: Rev. H. Franklin Bray, the noted Evangelist of Denver, Colo., is here conducting Union Revival meetings for the Baptists and Methodists at the A. M. E. church. Rev. Bray is one of our ablest preachers and he is giving his life to the salvation of souls. He is a forceful and earnest speaker and he talks to a good audience each night, and he is meeting with much success as he drives the truth home to the souls of men and women. Paola is witnessing a spiritual atmosphere it has not known for many a day. Rev. Bray is ably assisted by his wife and co-workers, Mrs. Sara L. Hammett and Mr. Thos. Johnson. Mrs. Bray is devoting her time and labor to the young children. She is making them a life study and the children are justly proud that they are under her care. Mrs. Hammett and Mr. Johnson are talented singers of the first magnitude and they are assisting Rev. Bray by making heaven ring with their sweet songs of Zion. Since their coming into our community they have organized a young people's choir which under their skillful discretion is contributing much to the success of the meetings. The good work this Evangelist party is doing here will ever be remembered and may God speed them on. Services will be conducted at the opera house all day Sunday. John E. Lgwry, Prin. of Public School THANKSGIVING TROLLEY PARTY CONTEST DRILL AT LEAVEN- WORTH. One of the biggest prize contests between two great military companies will take place Thanksgiving evening, Thursday, the 30th, of next week at the Post gymnasium at Ft. Leavenworth, Kas. The two contesting companies will be Mid-West Company No. 2, Knights of Pythias, of this city, Captain McCamey commanding, and Attucks Company No. 8, Knights of Pythias, of Leavenworth, Kas., Captain Carroll, commanding. The latter company is principally made up of army boys of the post of many years of hard drilling under officers of West Point fame, but when it comes to a test of executing the military regime as laid down in the drill manual for Pythian soldiers any team that beats Captain McCamey's bunch will know they have been under fire from many angles. Special cars will leave Fourth and Minnesota avenue at 7 p.m., carrying hundreds of K. P's and their friends. Also one of Kansas City, Kansas', best orchestras will be on board, which will furnish music for the full dress military ball. This big affair will take place at the Fort in their mammoth gymnasium where hundreds of the Post boys will be present to witness this great contest. The round trip is only 60 cents and if you expect to go you had better secure your ticket before the 30th. Get them at Slaughters' place, Ninth and Everett. Excelsior club of the Metropolitan met at Mr. and Mrs. Lake's, on Washington boulevard. Mrs. C. Meeks is contemplating organizing a juvenile mission band. NO.14 WILL MEET TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL SESSION OF THE INTER-STATE LITERARY ASSOCIATION OF KAN- The Inter-State Literary Association of Kansas and the West will hold their twenty-sixth annual session at Topeka on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, December 27, 28, 29, 1916. This organization was founded twenty-five years ago by a few of our richest literary brain of men and women of its day. While many who helped organize this most helpful and intellectual society have gone by the way of the earth or dropped out of the circle, a number yet survive as its brightest lights, and it has grown until today it is recognized as the pler of any like society of the Middle West. This organization is to be held in the city where it was founded a quarter of a century ago and now it returns to the place of its beginning, rather a home-coming where one of best literary programs will be on for three days, that can be found in this part of the country. There will be debating clubs, oratorical contests, musical contests and many literary productions from some of our profound thinkers. The citizens of Topeka are making extravagant preparations for this great home-coming and celebration. It will be three days feasting from a twenty-five years of progressive literary digest. Dr. G. G. Brown of Wichita, is president and Mrs. E. M. Guy, of Topeka is corresponding secretary. MAYOR GREEN DECIDES NOT TO BE A CANDIDATE FOR THIRD TERM. Mayor Charles Green, who has been the chief executive of Kansas City, Kansas, for two terms, decided after a careful consideration due his many friends who waited on him some weeks ago and asked him to be a candidate for the third term, that he could not possibly do so. Mayor Green gave as his reasons that he wished to establish a business in his home city and that he was growing in years, and he did not think it visible to put it off. Mayor Green has been probably the most efficient head the city has had for a good many years. There have been more real big things accomplished under his two administrations than others who have had the same opportunity. We are not giving things from a political standpoint, but from a desire for the real good of our municipality. EVENT EXTRAORDINARY MISS M. H.

Since Mayor Green has dropped out of the race for a third term the slats of the political hive have been very loose and the mayoralty bees have been heard buzzing in most every part of the city. Those who are sparring for an opening at this time may never step on the mat when the bell taps. Politics is a great game and the one who plays it often loses his last marble. But the game is an open one whereby the lame, halt and blind can enter. All of the commissioners will have opposition and in some instances plenty of it. And from the dormant attitude they took from a party standpoint may have troubles which they themselves brought, into their own camp. "They will certainly have to explain to somebody," as one can often hear on and around the streets. MRS. TULE ENTERTAINED: Mr. and Mrs. Mansfield, of 2219 North Walnut street, entertained at dinner Mrs. B. Tule, the Baptist Missionary, who left for Africa last week. Mrs. Rogers, city missionary of the Baptist churches, also was a guest. While an enjoyable evening was spent it was a sad parting with Mrs. Tule and her friends, knowing what her future work and life would probably have to endure, but the Master says trust in Him and He will help you endure all things. A PLEASANT SURPRISE. Mrs. M. C. Matthews, a staunch Republican, is the recipient of a letter and autograph from Hon. Charles E. Hughes, nominee for president. It came from the Hotel Astor in New York City. She is very proud of it and has shown it to many. FISK JUBILEE SINGERS. This company gave a recital at the Metropolitan Temple before a large audience. They are fine singers and sang without the usual pantomimic action which seems a mockery of the songs that our ancestry used solely for worship of Christ. Dunbar's colored folk poems were interspersed. Mr. Taylor's house and all of his furniture was burned Monday about 11:30 a.m. He is a widower and has two children. He has the sympathy of the entire community. Mr. S. Ball, 1035 Freeman, came home Monday morning from his work very ill. Mrs. Blanche Hodge of Warrensburg, Mo., is visiting her sister, Mrs. E. Anderson, 950 Nehraska. Mrs. Vivian Taylor, a singer of note of Topeka, worshipped at the C. M. E. church, Oakland and Eighth streets, Sunday morning. Notice.

Hughes was really elected if that fraud of the 'Solid South' was done away with.

One was Jack Price and the other golf. Although naturally athletic and proficient in most outdoor sports, there was more than mere pastime in golf for her this year. For she had set her heart on marrying Jack, and she was keen enough to see that the girl who got him would have to use drivers, putters and cleeks as the keys to his heart. A match was pending, a tournament for women, and Nettie felt that to carry off the laurels on this occasion would mean much in her campaign for matrimony. With so much depending on the result of Saturday's play, Nettie was practicing. One morning, at eight, her little road car turned in at the club gate and in fifteen minutes she was out on the course. Crack! The first shot whizzed past the marker and straight up the course nearly two hundred yards. The caddy ran on ahead and pulled out nn iron for the next shot. Nettie took the iron. "Pat, who is that person just starting down number two? Is she playing?" A girl in a pink sunbonnet and a pink dress was plainly visible against the green background of the trees. The course doubled and one and two lay side by side with only a narrow strip of rough between. The other girl, coming toward them, stopped and made a play. The ball went high and far. It landed close to Nettie and the caddy. He grinned. "I should say she is. Dandy shot, wasn't it?" Nettle frowned. The shot had been too good for comfort. The girl stopped and watched the play. Caddying for herself, she had her bag slung over her shoulder. Nettle had had a good chance to see that she was pretty, very pretty, and that the pink linen dress and pink linen hat, made sunbonnet style, were not the milkmaid get-up that she had at first supposed. Nettle seemed to have lost her power of concentration, for the rest of the morning was bad. After playing 18 holes, she went home hot, tired and in a dangerous humor. But the prospect of dinner with a party at Sycamore inn and a ride home with Jack through the moonlight gradually restored her spirits. "Does anyone know who our new acquisition is at the club?" she asked in a conversational pause at table. Everyone was interested, but nobody knew. "I believe you mean the girl I met on the course this afternoon," said Jack. Nettle was instantly alert. "She wasn't in pink, but she was a cracker-jack of a player and a peach for looks," he added enthusiastically. Nettle didn't sleep and was up early practicing. An anxious week followed. She watched the score board to see if any new names had been turned in, but neither that nor the list of hand-caps warned her of any formidable antagonist to be dreaded on Saturday. But at two o'clock on Saturday, when the players began to arrive, a new name had been placed on the board. Katharine Hilton! Eyebrows went up. No one knew the Hiltones were home after five years in England. Nettle consulted the handicap list. Her name was not there. "She'll get the maximum, twenty-four, I suppose!" "No! Miss Hilton is playing scratch. No handicap!" said Bert Morton, coming up. "Oh, how do you do, Miss Hilton? I'll have to introduce you anew to your old friends, I see, since you've grown up." Nettle suddenly realized that Katharine was the pink girl and, moreover, she was paired to play with her. The scores were close—in fact, at the eleventh hole the girls were even, counting Nettie's handicap of four. Then—they drove, Nettie first, then Katharine. It was down a slope and over the creek and both lost their balls! "If I find mine," thought Nettie, triumphantly, "and she doesn't, it will mean an extra count for her, for she'll have to take it over again!" Then Jack found a ball, "Here's one," he cried, "beside these reeds, in good shape for a drive. Whose is it? It's a Dimple—four black dots?" "Mine!" cried both girls together. "You must be mistaken," said Nettie quickly. "I was playing a new ball, four black dots, and it went down here just where Mr. Price is standing!" "Twas playing one, too!" said Katharine simply. "And I thought it came just about here!" "I must win!" thought Nettie. "I'm sure it's my ball," she insisted. Jack looked from one girl to the other—the one that he had about decided that he would ask to be his life mate, the other whom he had seen only a few times, but who had stormed his heart. A sudden notion possessed him, for he was impulsive. "I believe," he said to himself deliberately, "I will marry the girl who gives up that ball, if she will have me." Katharine flushed at Nettie's words, hesitated an instant, then stepped back. "Very well, please play, Miss Richardson. Here, caddy, give me another, bull, please, and-I'll go back and take it over." The rates have decided, prettied Jack.

KANSAS CITY, KANSAS FORUM. The Forum met at Metropolitan Temple and Chaplain A. Brown opened with devotionals. President Willa Dwiggins secured a good speaker as the executive committee was not quite ready with a program. (1) Quotations were given and (2) Current events were given by Messrs. A, Lewis, J. J. Thomas, D. W. White and M. C. Matthews. (3) Inst. solo, Mr. Gatewood. (4.) Address; "Seggregation," Prof. Nathaniel Sawyers, Topeka. In part he said: "If we are going to have a genuine Democracy, everyone regardless of his race or color, should have an equal chance. The good and clean property holders of the race still need encouragement. Shall those rights which we have be taken away from us?" Rev. J. R. Richardson was asked to open the discussion and Messrs. Nelson T. Napper, D. W. White, Prof. Nely, Prof. J. P. King and Mrs. Dickerson discussed it. It was a fine practical talk and was cheered greatly. The Forum had a large attendance and a silver offering was given Prof. Sawyers. Prof. T. Davis with a committee, is to give a Forum Concert, soon. Mr. Booth Smith acted as secretary in the absence of Atty. Booker. The president secured the Pierian Reading club for the Forum Sunday, Nov. 26th. (The executive committee had another program for the same day.) Mr. and Mrs. Roy Boone are now located in Winfield, Kas, for the winter. Mr. Boone's run is changed. Rev. Richardson, Rev. Terry, Mr. P. Younger, Mrs. Haywood, Mr. and Mrs. Summers, Mr. and Mrs. Sawyers of Topeka, and Mr. and Mrs. Summers were some of the many who attended the Forum last Sunday. Mrs. Jordan at Tenth and Nebraska who had her eyes dissected, is improving nicely. The young people of the Ninth street M. E. church gave a program at which Missionary Tule was the principal speaker. Mrs. Wm. Boone's orchestra furnished fine music. Mrs. T. Booker on Everett, visited her sick mother in Topeka and left her improving. The society editor is a very busy woman; she has two and three invitations to luncheons and dinners every week. This week she was entertained by Mrs. C. Russell, 941 Washington boulevard and Mr. Long, the real estate man. She attends two Bible classes, church, and does mission and temperance work. The special matinee programs which have been held in the Idle Hour theater, corner Seventh and Quindaro, under the auspices of the Longfellow Mothers' club, have been moderately successful, but in order to insure a larger attendance of the older folk tomorrow's program will be given in the evening.

Curvature of Spine and Round Shoulders Too Frequently Developed in School. As an outcome of medical inspection in public schools, people are beginning to appreciate the important part which school seats play in the physical development of the young, M. V. O'Shea writes in the Mother's Magazine. The statistics of deformities of growth have been compiled in a number of American cities, and they are impressive. A considerable proportion of school children are afflicted with curvature of the spine. This difficulty becomes more common as we go up the grades and into the high school. What is the relation of school seats to curvature of the spine? Suppose a pupil during the growing period uses for four or five hours each school day, thirty-eight or forty weeks each year for eight or twelve years, a desk which is so high that in order to rest his arm on it he lifts his shoulder, and so pulls the spine out of correct alignment. Originally, the right shoulder will be raised too high, and the left will be too low. It is probable that any child who maintains this posture in school year after year will acquire some degree of curvature. Even if no curvature results, there will be inequality in the height of the shoulders, which will prove a handicap to an individual in later life. Older pupils often use desks which are too low. It is practically certain, then, that they will bend over the desks, and they will be in a cramped posture several hours each day. In such a position the lungs are constricted, the shoulders are pressed forward and the common round shoulder develops almost serious of all, the circulation in the brain is interfered with. When children keep this posture in school day after day for years, they are likely to become either neurotic or dull. BUILT BY AMERICAN EXPERTS Europe's Largest Dam, near Talarn, Spain, a Monument to United States Engineering Skill. The largest dam in Europe, situated near the old fortified town of Talarn, Spain, was recently completed by American engineers and experts. It is constructed of concrete, and is 830 feet high, 700 feet long and 230 feet at the base, gradually decreasing to 14 feet at the top. The Noguera Pallarea river flowed through the chasm across which the dam is built, and it shuts on almost perpendicular cliffs. The valley above the dam was bought from the various landholders at a cost of nearly $1,000,000, and now, filled with water, forms an artificial lake, 15% miles long and 3% miles wide. The floodgates are so carefully balanced that they open automatically under the pressure of a rise of one inch of water. The natural formation of the rock near the dam has been utilised to provide a spillway with a capacity of 70,000 cubic feet of water a second. The dam has a twofold object in the production of electric power and use in irrigation. The water that now passes through the powerhouse yields an electric current of 20,000 horse power. Later it will be increased to 40,000 horse power. The water is carried by a system of canals into an arid district, where it irrigates a surface of nearly one hundred square miles. A great deal of American-made machinery was used in the construction work. Back-Door Etiquette. It is back-door etiquette for a woman to send back the dish in which her neighbor has sent her something to eat, full. As a result of trying to observe this rule, two Atchlson women are on the verge of nervous collapse. Sunday morning one of the women sent her neighbor a pan of string beans. Promptly the woman receiving the beans returned the pan filled with some plum butter. The other woman returned the pan filled with fresh doughnuts. Her neighbor sent the pan back with some ralsin bread in it. The other woman fired the pan back filled with tomatoes. The neighbor quickly stirred up a cake and it was no time until that pan was sent back filled with little hot cakes. The other woman was ready for the pan and sent it over filled with pickled beets. The other neighbor flew to her pantry and ferked up some sliced ham and sent the pan back, but the other woman's then folks met that pan before it reached its destination; there is not enough of it left for the junkman—Aitchison Globe. Emerald Most Precious Stone. The most precious of all stones—provided it contains no flaw—is the official tribute paid to the emerald in a bulletin issued by the Smithsonian Institution. Tracing the history of emerald finds from the days of Cleopatra, the Smithsonian furnishes interesting scientific information regarding these gems, saying: "Unfortunately it (the emerald) is seldom free from flaws, and were this not the case an emerald would be of greater value, carat for carat, than the diamond. Today a good diamond is worth about $250 to $400 per carat, according to its purity and size, while an emerald varies in value from $250 to $500, increasing very rapidly with size. Flawless emeralds weighing more than four carats are among the rarest of jewels; a perfect stone of four carats is practically priceless, whereas a diamond would bring only $1,000 to $2,000." Pretty Ornament That Is Easily Made by Combination of Belling Water and Alum. Water will, especially when boiling dissolve large quantities of various substances, which, when the water has cooled, are left behind in the forms of most beautiful crystals, the shapes of which may vary with the substance employed. One may take advantage of this fact to make very handsome ornaments, says a contributor to the Electrical Experimenter. It is also known that boiling water will take up a much larger quantity of alum than cold water. If we dissolve as much alum as possible in the former, as the liquid cools crystals of alum will be deposited on any object placed in the fluid. A piece of coke or cinder allowed to stand in a boiling solution of alum will become coated with numerous glistening crystals as the liquid cools. It will have the appearance of a naturally formed mineralogical specimen. Ornamental baskets, etc., may be formed in this way by covering wire or willow baskets. The baskets covered with wire and then cotton are the most successful, as the surface to be coated with crystals must be somewhat rough. Take twice as much water as will be sufficient to cover the basket, cover it in a saucepan and add as much alum as will dissolve in the water. A quart of water will require about eighteen ounces of alum. Strain this through muslin or blotting paper into a large jar and hang the basket in the boiling liquid. Stand the jar on one side to cool and keep free from dust. In a few hours the basket will be completely covered with white crystals of alum. Should it be desired to color the crystals, add the requisite dye stuff to the alum solution before straining it. A few drops of cheap dyes will serve the purpose well. WOMEN WRITE BEST LETTERS Their Propensity to Dilate on What Men Would Consider Trifles Is Given as the Reason. The art of letter writing is considered by the French an essentially feminine gift, probably because for years it was the only means of literary expression-open to women. But the real secret of women's ability to write good letters is that they are not ashamed to record trifles. Men feel after they have described the weather and the state of their affections that they have done their duty. A woman will tell what another woman wore, what her best friend said, who is rumored engaged to whom, what two best enemies are not speaking, and add, maybe, the breakfast menu. In letters women give a little of real life and their correspondence is really written conversation. Letter writing is a delicate and difficult art, for, aside from its charming features, more harm has been done by the written word than by all the foolish converse in the world. Unkind remarks written are hard to erase from the heart. A foolish protestation of affection is a shame and grief forever to the writer. Every indiscreet written confidence is a curse that will come home to roost with the inevitability of the barnyard fowl. Letter writing should be an art; the art of frills. It should be the art of being interesting, but not compromising. An Imaginary Journey. An imaginary journey will amuse children on a rainy day and is something easily accomplished. First provide each child with a book made of brown paper. These books can be made quickly by folding a number of thicknesses of the paper, and stitching them down the center on the machine. This large book may be cut into as many smaller ones as needed. Bring from their places old catalogues and magazines, telling the children they are about to start on a "play" journey. Let them cut out pictures of trunks and paste them in their books first. After that have them hunt through the catalogues for articles to pack in their trunks, pasting these below the trunks. Trains and boats may be added, also hotels and pretty scenery; indeed, until the children are tired, a great variety of ideas may be carried out—Ladies' World. Cause for Doubt. We rested our sleeve against the wet paint. "But did you not see that sign?" solicitously inquired the proprietor of the corner grocery, "which says that the paint is fresh?" "Certainly!" we replied with biting sarcasm, for we were greatly annoyed. "But we have often beheld placards in your accursed establishment announcing fresh eggs, butter, vegetables and so on, and usually found them erroneous and deceptive. So why should we suspect that this sign was anything but a pleasant table?"—Kansas City Star. Sheer Brutality. "I don't think you can really care for me any longer," cried the young bride, as, dissolved in tears, she threw herself upon the couch. "Why not?" asked the perplexed bridegroom. "Why do you say things like that? Didn't I kiss you before I left home this morning?" "Ye-ey, you did," admitted the disconsolate fair one, "but as you walked to the corner to catch your car, you turned and waved good-by on ly three times."—Bichmond, Times-Dispatch.
