SEGREGATION ADVOCATES WHERE WILL YOU SPEND ETERNITY? TWELVE MONTHS $1.50 NO RELIEF FROM TAX REBATES NO RELIEF FROM TAX REBATES MEASURE TO APPORTION BURDEN TO ALL SUB-DIVISIONS IS KILLED. Representative Allen of Wyandotte County Made a Hard Fight to Get the Bill Through to Relieve the County General Fund, But Failed. Topeka, March 8.—Among the senate bills that met death in the house was the bill that was designed to make all subdivisions of the county stand the loss of revenues by tax rebates, instead of having the county general fund hold the sack for oil rebates. The bill had passed the senate and Representative George R. Allen was endeavoring to push it through the house. He stated that the tax rebate cost the general fund in Wyandotte county thousands of dollars a year, and the county wanted to distribute the loss among all the funds. "Didn't this house pass a bill to abolish the tax rebate entirely," asked Bruner, of Kearny. "That bill passed the house," said Allen. "But some of the heavy taxpayers of the state made a fight and had it killed in the senate. The tax rebate gives these 10 per cent interest on the money they pay in December that is not due until the following June. They borrow money at 5 per cent and clear 5 per cent on the deal." "Who were some of the heavy taxpayers that killed the tax rebate bill in the senate," demanded Coffin of Morris. "I don't know that I care to mention any names, but the biggest railroad in our county would have had to pay $3,000 a year more in taxes, leaving that much less for the rest of us," replied Allen. "I think every big corporation in the state was against the bill, and several of them had men here fighting it." "Would it have saved the state and counties hundreds of thousands of dollars," continued Coffin. "It is my judgment that it would," said Allen. "The measure to abolish the tax rebate, as I said before, was a good measure—but I could'n vote for it in the senate. I did what I could to help the house pass it." Coffin announced he would try to amend the bill then under consideration, sa as to abolish the tax rebate, but the house peevishly struck out the enacting clause before he had a chance. DUNBAR THEATER STARTS WITH A BOOM. The new Dunbar theater on Tenth between Freeman and Walker, opened its doors this week to crowded houses. Manager Smith stated that he was more than satisfied with the week's attendance, in fact he said they had all the people they could take care of. There are two shows each evening and the 500 seats have been filled at each performance. A change of pictures are put on daily and of the high class reels. Matinee every Sunday afteynoon, Manager Smith also stated that nothing would be tolerated around this play house but the highest and best deportment. The first show starts at 7:30 in the evening and the second at 9 o'clock. The whole of the Dunbar theater company is very much delighted in seeing the appreciation of the general public in their effort to give the people of Kansas City, Kansas, a first class place of amusement. FIRST BAPTIST SEWING CIRCLE PRESENTS $100 SILVER COMMUNION SET. The new $100 individual communion set given First Baptist church Sunday by sisters of the First Baptist Sewing Circle, was highly appreciated by every member of the church. The gratitude of the whole church can be expressed, but the manner in which it will be taken care of, and the pride with which each uses it, will go more to express our feeling that mere words, God bless, sisters of the First Baptist Sewing Circle. CHURCH EDITOR Miss Carter, one of the efficient teachers of Dunbar school, is very ill at the Y. W. C. A. Her mother is here from Lawrence tenderly nursing her. WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO SPEND ETERNITY? THEY SAY— It is hard to find a better male quartet or a better basso than the one in the Argentine quartet. Mr.-N.-Thatcher is one of the poli-test persons in town. That the Lawrence, Forum will be down soon to visit our Forum and give us a fine program. Also that we will send some one from our Forum to give them something fine. That all of our women and men should register and vote at the primaries and election, too. That the Bone Dry law is a blessing to the people of our state and when we get National Prohibition the blessing will be to the whole country and there will not be so much sin. That that law and the 25 states which have gone dry are simply answers to true Christians' prayers. The night schools are composed of many mothers, fathers and old people, but not every one. Some night school pupils are young and some are exteachers or teachers in active service, doctor, lawyers, etc. The best prayers are sentence prayers in our secret closets shut out from the world. The Society Editor was the only colored Bible leader present when the Bible Leaders of the other race were invited to the Athanaeum social. Wonder will she attend? ALONG THE LINE OF REASON. The history of the course of men on earth, is made up largely, of a record of what has been termed Courage. This quality in man, when exercised in connection with facing danger, and assuming chances as to our personal safety, is called prowess or bravery, and in some instances—Dare-devil courage. There is another sense and capacity in which the quality is used, which covers and concerns our conduct as Civic and Social beings in the community in which we live. This gives rise to what we know, and call "Moral Courage." In this domain, all our acts and deeds, which have any worth, have their rise, and are to be considered. In this field, Right and Duty spring or and Dishonor, have their origin. In this field, Alight and Duty spring up and grow side by side and we get the conception of manliness, or the lack of it. Under such circumstances in the light of Reason we learn that it is easier to possess the first mentioned sort of Courage—even to the Dare-devil degree—than it is to be capable of possessing and exercising that, which is known as "Moral Courage." One of the most common and frequent instances of our failing to have and exercise that much-desired moral courage is that in which we see and hear, a fellow-man wrongly assailed and falsely accused and charged with that which we know or have reason to believe is not true. And still we are too narrow and not courageous enough to rise and speak the truth, or protest against the wrong that is being committed. This is a most contemptible, weak and sinister quality, and we should cease to practice it. Together, once and for all time; cease this detestible method, and sprout and grow that delightful quality—"Moral Courage." That will make us think of the only hard and fast rule ever given by The Christ: "As ye would, that others should do unto you; do ye even so, unto them." This is one, and among the first suggestions that I would have our ministers hammer hard, loud and long; so that the great Horde, will get a clear and practical notion of its economic worth, as a Rule by which to live—as was intended by the great Character Christ. ATTENDS EXECUTIVE BOARD AT LAWRENCE Mrs., Ruth Collins, Mrs. Pauling Woodfork, Mrs. Mollie Jackson and Mrs. Glover met the executive board of the Women's Mite Missionary society which was held in Leavenworth, Kansas, Wednesday of this week. It opened at 10 a.m. and adjourned at 3:30. This meeting was preparatory for the convention, which is to meet at the First A. M. E. church in Kansas City, Kansas, in July. J. B. BROWN FOR PARK COMMISSIONER IS WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY. And Independent KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, MARCH 9, 1917. SUMNER HIGH NOTES School was dismissed Thursday and Friday of last week so that the teachers might attend the National Educational association, which met in Kansas City, Mo. Special assembly was called Monday, at which time Superintendent Pearson introduced Mr. Short of Chicago, who gave a short address in behalf of the campaign that the Mercantile club is making for the betterment of Kansas City Kansas. Monday was the beginning of the fifth six weeks. My! how time does fly! The history classes during the last week had a dramatized exercise showing how we of today are indebted to the ancients for many of our necessities. On Monday, February 26, Superintendent Pearson, other superintendents and President Van Scoy on the board of education of Washington, D. C., visited this recitation. They were highly pleased with the demonstration. Superintendent Pearson was so much impressed with the work that he brought with him on Monday of this week Principal Bailey of Kansas City, Kansas, high school, Principal Shepard of the junior high school and Principal Rice of the Argentine high school. These school men were greatly pleased with what they saw and heard and to use their own words, "Enjoyed it immensely." You will have a chance of witnessing this demonstration at the Forum Sunday. Miss Aileen Trotter has returned after several weeks illness. At the assembly March 7 Mr. Albert Maddox was elected to give the welcome address on Sumner, night of March 30. Miss Mabel Brown, a member of the senior class, died Tuesday of pneumonia after two weeks illness. Miss Brown was a very industrious student and she was working hard with the idea of entering the normal training class next fall. She was well thought of by all the students who knew her and she will be greatly missed in her various classes. Mr. Charley Turner of the junior class is quite ill and has been for several weeks. The services were largely attended Sunday, especially at the 11 o'clock service. Rev. Ransom, while not himself physically, was no less a power in his spiritual power. Rev. A. T. Parker of Eldorado delivered the message at the evening service, which was extra strong and eloquent. The congregation was lifted up by his great truths. Sunday will be quarterly meeting, which will be in charge of Presiding Elder Smith. The quarterly conference will be held Monday evening when quarterly reports will be heard from all the departments. Mrs. Pphelia Watts-Jackson is certainly a fine pianist and a fine pipe organist, and the first woman to receive an organ encore. Mr. Jackson is one of the finest bassoes we have heard. WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO SPEND ETERNITY? By Mervin Harris. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH ONE CANDIDATE IS DOOMED SO FAR AS THE NEGRO VOTE IS CONCERNED. / It is said there is one candidate running for park commissioner who is doomed so far as the colored vote is concerned. Very unfortunate for him, he allowed his prejudice to become too intense with hatred toward the Negro. When one of our women some years ago entered his place of business and solicited him for a donation for the Colored Children's Orplans' home, he ordered her out of his place of business, slating he drew the line when it came to making any donation to such people. He is American only by adoption. GOSPEL CAMPAIGN EVANGELIST GORDON OF TEXAS FILLS CHURCH TO ITS CAPACITY—MEN AND WOMEN YIELD TO HIS WONDERFUL LOGIC. The union revival this week has been drawing immense crowds every night. The revival is held at the First A. M. E. church. The local ministers have been preaching soul-stirring sermons and many were converted into the knowledge of a living Christ. Evangelist of Texas Comes. On Thursday one of the greatest evangelists of the Lone Star State arrived and preached his first sermon Thursday night to a packed house. Dr. Gordon delivered one of the most logical and convincing messages that has ever been heard to a dying congregation and when he closed strong men who had been feeding on the husks of sin for many years, rose from their seats and threw themselves upon the altar of God. No one should miss hearing this intellectual, spiritual messenger. The church was afire with Christians from nearly every denomination in the city. These meetings will continue for a season with this wonderful gospel campaigner holding Christ up before a lost world. The Gospel Choir of a hundred voices under the leadership of the race's greatest chorister, Prof. Jackson, brings many a soul to their feet and the hallelujahs are heard throughout the church. A great outpouring of the Holy Spirit is being felt throughout the city. EIGHTH ST. BAPTIST CHURCH NEWS. The presence of sixty-six pupils in Sunday school at our first meeting in M. & O. hall was very encouraging. Miss Myrtle Stewart, superintendent of the Sunday school, shows great ability in that capacity. We are glad to have Miss Rosalie Tapp and Miss Orpheus Scott as teachers in our Sunday school. Mr. James Turner is assistant superintendent and a worthy young man. Miss Sallie Brown, Jr., is assisting Mrs. E. J. Thompson with the Rose Bud Mission. The pastor and members of Eighth Street Baptist church are shouldering their new responsibility bravely. We hope for a financial success with Bro. Knapper as booster. Buy a tag and go to the Irish Green social at 819 Freeman avenue, March 17, 1917. BIRTHDAY PARTY. The friends of Mrs. R. F. Noland, 344 Greeley avenue, dropped in on her Friday, March 2 and gave her quite an agreeable surprise. The occasion was her birthday. She received many beautiful presents. The afternoon was spent in a pleasant social manner and a fine course luncheon was served. H. FRANKLIN BRAY EVANGELISTIC COMPANY. Galena, Kas, March 8th—Dr. H. Franklin Bray and his party of baptized gospel workers arrived in Galena, Kansas, on Thursday and on Sunday morning, March 4th, began a battle against sin in Mount Zion Baptist church with all the churches and pastors of the city united for the fight. Four souls have accepted Christ and only three services have been held. Great throngs are in regular attendance and there is every indication that the entire city will be stirred and scores saved. Every member of the party is a power for God. Dr. Bray's semmons are convincing, logical and unanswerable, and, accompanied by the Holy Spirit, Mrs. Sarah L. Hammett is undoubtedly the greatest lady gospel singer of our race and gives forth the gospel in song with such great power that men and women weep and rejoice and surrender to Jesus Christ. Mrs. Leone B. Bray of Fisk University has been added to the parry and is easily one of the greatest piano soloists the race has yet produced. All Galena is rejoicing because of the presence of these people of God and the armies are assembling from the four quarters of the city for the battle. Keep your ear to the ground for things are going to come to pass these days in Galena, Kansas. More at the close of the campaign. REV. R. C. DAVIS. ALBERT PRICE SAYS FAREWELL A YOUNG LIFE GOES TO ITS REWARD. Mr Albert Price, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Price of 703 Oakland avenue, bid his father, mother and young wife farewell Thursday morning of last week. At the home of his aged parents Albert had been a sufferer for quite a while and had been up and down for some two years or more but his last sickness was unto death. He graduated from the high school in 1908 and was a bright student. He had many friends both in and out of school. His future was all that any young man could desire, but God had a work for him, who sent the pale horse and rider to bring him home. The funeral was held Sunday at 1 p. m. from the First A. M. E. church of which he was a member, his pastor, Dr. Ransom, officiating. The pall bearers were of his classmates. Mr. Walter Maddox read a resolution representing the class of 1908, touching feelingly upon the life of their friend, classmate and brother. There were many handsome and large floral offerings. The church was crowded with sympatizing friends of the deceased and family. He was 29 years of age at the time of his demise. He leaves a father, mother and devoted wife, also relatives and scores of friends. The Advocate extends to the bereaved its sincere sympathy in their hour of sorrow. THE FORUM. The Forum convened at Metropolitan Temple promptly at 4 p. m. After the opening preliminaries, President Buster announced the program. Good current events were given by Miss Smith of W. U. Mr. Hill's fine tenor solar was encored. "Our population and death rate as compared with other races," was discussed pro and con. Mrs. Pphelia Jackson's pipe organ selection was encored. The Choral Society of Argentine rendered several selections. The male quartet of the same place was immense. It received two encores. Dr. Davis' led it. Inst solo, "La Torrent de Montaligne," by Miss Benson, of W. U., was encored. Program committee was Mrs. Dwlgins and Mr. Geo. Williams. Next Sunday will be a good one. Come. DISTRICT STEWARD Will you allow me kindly to call the attention of the class leaders and members of the First A. M. E. church that on Sunday, March 11th, is our second quarterly meeting so I urge upon every one to be ready to meet their church obligations. It's the wish of your servant that our quarterly reports may be commendable in His name. THOS. KENNEDY, District Steward. HALE AND HEARTY AT THE AGE OF 96 MR. ALLEN DOUGLAS. One of the most interesting persons in Quindaro is Mr. Allen Douglas. Some years ago his faithful wife was translated leaving, him to tread the path of life alone. This he has done in a remarkable way. His life is based firmly on the Christian faith. His care, his needs, his comforts, his good health and bounding vitality he draws from his abiding faith in God's care. And the noteworthy thing about it is that he has the years to his credit. It was a pleasure to see him on his ninety-sixth birthday hall and hearty—just a little affected by the prevailing grip of the season—having prepared his own birthday dinner. It was last Sunday morning at seven o'clock ninety-six years ago that his mother "birthed him," to use his expression. He has his garden already started and his hot bed made. He spades up three or four lots and plants them. He keeps a rotating crop from early spring to late fall. His grandfather lived to be 117; his father to 110. He expects to reach the 100th mark. Long life and joy, Mr. Allen Douglas. METROPOLITAN TEMPLE. The theme of the morning subject was "Prayer." The pastor was so inspired he preached longer than usual. Two joined and 11 were fellowshipped in and took their first communion with the older church members. During the communion several beautiful old songs were sung by the congregation which caused spiritual rejoicing. Among them were "Nearer My God" and "Did Christ O'er Sinners Weep?" ets. At 8 p. m. "The Open Door" was the subject. Two more joined and three others were baptized by Elder Holmes for Elder D. B. Jackson. The collection was over $50. Metropolitan has more yet to be baptized. Two hundred fifty souls came to them from this revival. HOLINESS MISSION 937 Everett Ave. Revival services are being conducted by Rev. J. Hubbard, evangelist, of Waukesha, Wis. The services are very eductive. The evangelist is preaching sin-condemning and soul-stirring sermons which fill the unsaved with alarm and edifies and inspires the Christian. The mission superintendent, Elder W. F. Nickerson, will preach at the M. E. church, corner Ninth and Oakland Sunday at 11 a. m. and at the First Christian church, Kansas City, Mo., at 8 p. m. Service at mission, 2:30 p. m. and 7:30 p. m. The public is invited. MOBILIZING AMERICA. Industrial preparedness requires not only a mobilization of the resources we have, but of those we haven't. Some of these latter are so important that without them we could not make war at all. For instance: With all our metalliferous abundance we are dependent upon Canada for practically our entire supply of nickel ore. Our antimony so much used in making alloys, comes from China. All the vast supply of nitrates absolutely necessary for our immense powder production is drawn from Chile. If at war with Great Britain we would be without nickel; if at war with Japan, we might kiss antimony and nitrates good bye for a season, along with some of our island possessions. Aside from the necessary commodities we do not possess, at least one that is absolutely invaluable lies exposed to enemy attack. This is sulphur, an ingredient common to all high explosives. All the sulphur in this country, except that found in bad eggs, comes from some beds on the coast of Louisiana and Texas. These beds are said to be in range of the guns of any marauding dreadnaught.—From Peter Clark Macfarlane's "Mobilizing America," in Collier's Weekly for March 10th. Mr. Wyatt, the undertaker, is very sick, yet. WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO SPEND ETERNITY? VOTE FOR J. B., BROWN FOR PARK COMMISSIONER.

There is no doubt of the ability of any one of these three gentlemen being able to cope with the problems that would naturally con- front them if honored with the high. est office by the gift of the voters in the Metropolis of Kansas but it is so ordained and through no fault or choice of ours that we, the colored voters, have been made to look into men’s records as to class judgment If it’s found to be one of good report there is never much doubt of that one receiving the support of the col ured electors.

Whenever a man neglects bis busi- ness and leaves it to some other man it suffers. Tho parents of this city have left the schools too long to employees and to @ school board with- out a salary. The Board of Educa- tion spends money like drunken sail- ors that the people work hard to get is remark often heard from citizens and taxpayers. And it is frequently commented upon by observing people that the supervising principals often degenerate into walking delegates car- rylng the orders of men higher up. run a system of red tape that wastes the time and energy of the teachers that ought to be given to teaching. Principals seem to get the idea that they own the schools. Then there also is the principal who actually has a settled continued habit of dismissing boys and girls from school and depriving them of their tight to go to school for days oyrer mere trifles that no person compe tent to handle children would remem: ber over night against them. One \principal sits im his den like an auto. jest and sends out summons for the Parents to come in and get his ord. lers. He actually sends children home and says you can’t come back te school unless your father or mother comes to see me. Who owns these echools any way? What are they run for, the benefit of principals 01 children? The time has come to open je a new set of books. } The reign of the silk stockings and the administration of the bosses has | proven 2 failure. The taxpayers must take hold again.

For almost twenty years Draper has been a hard working man in this city. He belongs to the class of hardy industrious men who make the city and are its backbone, While he is not a rich man he is a compe- tent and successful man, a man with a-family of his own. He has not been dabbling in polities but has an intelli gent interest in public affairs, It hae developed that he can make a very good talk if the occasion requires There seems to be a general feeling that he is one of the men that ought to be elected.

Frederick Palmer in "If War Gone," in Collier's Weekly for March 16th. I perfectly agree with the average citizen that Germany could not do as much harm. She could not, even if we had not half as many coast guns as we have, and if we did not build any more. She cannot until she first Bats the Allies But I strongly disagree with the view that we can do Germany no harm. There is something in our general attitude of late suggestive of a celosal tame elephant of a nation which does not realize its own power. In half war against Germany we could accomplish nothing. In a real war, without sending a soldier to France, probably without firing a shot except at a submarine periscope, and with an increase of prosperity if we choose we can force the decision against Germany, leaving us at the end of the war prepared for any eventualities—in a position of national security, with the satisfaction of having served the ends of humanity and helped to establish an enduring world peace. When the world is molten in the most formative period since the Christian era began we could make of war with Germany the greatest opportunity we have ever had in our national history; and ultimately we should earn the thanks of the German people. FOR THE PARTY'S SAKE Kanazas Legislature Passes Bill Restore Old Ballot System Topeka, March 8.—The modification of the Massachusetts ballot law, by which it will be possible to vote a straight party ticket in Kansas again, finally got by both branches of the Kansas legislature yesterday. In the afternoon the senate amended the measure, introduced in the house by Mack of Harvey. The amendment cut out the provision allowing help in the voting booth for the illiterate voter. The senate passed the amended bill by a vote of 21 to 12, six Republicans voting against the measure. The house concurred in the senate amendment last night by a vote of 70 to 35. Two house Republicans, Foster of Ness, and McIlvor of Sheridan, stood out against the caucus and voted against the bill on final passage. The Mack measure modifies the Massachusetts ballot law passed by the 1913 legislature. It places at the top of the ballot on which are the names of the candidates for national and state officers three lines, followed by squares instead of circles, through which the voter expresses his preference for a straight party, mixed party or individual ballot. The voter who doesn't want to go to the trouble of picking out his candidates can make his mark in the square opposite the "party ticket," and his voting is done.

Coy did borrow from the Minnesota Avenue State Bank, certain sums of money, amounting in total to the sum of $850.00 giving notes therefor, which became due November 20th, 1916, and did pledge as security therefor certain bonds of the Township of Phillipsburg, in Phillips County, Kansas, of the face value of One Thousand ($1,000.00) Dollars: And that whereas the said F. H. Cog, has since the loan above mentioned became due, failed to pay said loan and has failed entirely to respond to notices sent to the last known address of said F. H. Coy, Therefore:— The Minnesota Avenue State Bank will on Monday the Second day of April, 1917, at 11 o'clock in the morning of said day, offer for sale, in the lobby of the Banking Office of said Minnesota Avenue State Bank, the bonds held by them a collateral security to said loan as follows:— Refunding Bond No. 21, Dated July 1, 1906 and maturing January 1, 1918 in the sum of $500.00 and also Refunding Bond No. 22 dated July 1st, 1906 and maturing January 1st, 1918 for $500.00, both issued by Phillipsburg Township, County of Phillips and State of Kansas, to the highest bidder for cash; the proceeds of said sale to be used for the payment of the debt above deferred to.

BROWN FOR PARK COMMISSIONER. PRIMARY MARCH 28TH. REPAIR 7TH STREET VIADUCT. Commissioner Begga Expects to Re open It for Traffic Soon. Commissioner James Beggs yesterday began the work of repairing the Seventh street viaduct which spans the yards of the Union Pacific and Rock Island railroads. The commissioner expects to have the viaduct in condition for the resumption of traffic in a few days. The railroads and the street railway corporation are to pay the larger proportion of the cost. The unsafe condition of the old viaduct, which caused the stopping of traffic over it early in the winter, has been an inconvenience to travel to and from the Armourdale and stock yards district and to the passenger stations of the Union Pacific and Rock Island. After being put in good repair the old Seventh street viaduct will be used until the Kansas City Terminal Railway passenger station is built. Then a new viaduct is to be built.

THE KINGDOM GATE UNIVERSITY GUIDEDBYBEACONS LIVES OF TRAVELERS SAVED BY "LAND LIGHTHOUSES." Safety Signals on Desolate English Waters Were a Necessity in Times Gone By—Many of Them Still in Existence. Of all the remarkable lightkouses in existence, and there are many of them, what is described as "the only land lighthouse" is the most extraordinary. This is the lofty tower, 100 feet high, on the lonely levels of Lincoln Heath, five miles from Lincoln, in the parish of Dunston. It is known as "Dunston Pillar," says a writer in London Answers. When the strange building first came into being in 1751 Lincoln heath was easily the most dangerous waste place in England. About twenty miles square, it had then no made roads, no signposts and no enclosing hedges. Travelers found it a risky place to venture in, especially in the short days of winter. The registers of Leasingham church, on the outskirts of the vast solitude, contain accounts of the burials of many unfortunate travelers who lost their way here and perished in snowstorms and tempests. So notorious were those dangers that at Potter Hanworth and at Blankney, in this region, there are pieces of land bequeathed as thank-offerings by strayed wayfarers whose lives had been saved by hearing the church bell's chimes, so that their steps were guided to shelter. The revenues from these lands were intended to secure the continuance of those nightly ringings, so that no others should run such risks. It was Francis Dashwood, Lord le Despenser, who built Dunston Pillar. It served as a signpost by day and as a beacon by night, being at that time surmounted by a lantern, which was brilliantly illuminated. But, after some fifty-nine years, a good road was at last made across these wilds and the lantern was no longer considered necessary. So in place of it a colossal stone statue of George III. was placed there in 1810, the year of his jubilee. And there it stands today. Besides Dunston Pillar, there are many more beacons that were intended to keep the old-time travelers in the right path. We have one in the neighborhood of London. This is the old iron firepot, or cresset, on the angle turret of Monken Hadley church, near Barnet, placed there originally hundreds of years ago for the express purpose of guilding travelers who might be coming after nightfall through the lonely and deeply wooded districts of Enfield Chase. The iron pot has, of course, been often renewed. A similar firepot stands on the tower of Gillingham church, near Chatham, overlooking the River Medway. A much more elaborate affair, which was as much a "land lighthouse" as Dunston Pillar, is the lantern which still stands on the tower of Great Weldon church, in the Rockingham Forest district of Northamptonshire. It was lighted every night for the express purpose of guiding benighted travelers to safety through the entangled forest brakes. Of course, many of our lighthouses serving our mariners along our coasts are actually built on land, notably the famous North Foreland and the Lizard lights. Among the most curious of these is Dungeness lighthouse, standing on the desolate wastes of shingle on the Kentish coast. It was about 1615 when the first lighthouse was built there by a private speculator, who disposed of his interest to one William Lamplough, clerk to the king's kitchen. To Stimulate Reading. Five books, fiction or nonfiction, may henceforth be drawn on one card issued to an adult reader from the Chicago public library. This is to include all sorts of books, except the newest fiction, which is issued as before, only for a seven-day period, nonrenewable. "We do not expect, however, that there will be a noticeable increase in the number of books taken out according to this privilege," said Carl B. Roden, assistant librarian. "We are doing this merely as an incentive to the public to read more. The power of suggestion is more effective than anything else in making the public read. For instance, one of the popular column conductors of a city newspaper will merely mention a certain book, and our librarians are swamped with requests for that book, no matter how abstruse or lengthy it is. No other book on the same subject will do."—Chicago News. Start of Phrenology. The first announcement made by Franz Joseph Gall regarding his system of phrenology was in an address delivered before his medical colleagues in Vienna just a century and a quarter ago. Gall was a native of Baden, but settled in Vienna in 1731 and began the practice of medicine in the Austrian capital. From his boyhood he had been interested in studying the cranium of his companions, and many observations and much study convinced him that the talents and dispositions of men may be inferred with perfect exactitude and precision from the external appearance of the skull. This theory he elaborated in many lectures, pamphlets and books, and zoon gained many adherents in the scientific world. A Nervous Woman Finds Relief From Suffering. Women who suffer from extreme nervousness, often endure much suffering before finding any relief. Mrs. Joseph Snyder, of Tiffin, O., had such an experience, regarding which she says: "Bix months I was bedfast with nervous prostration. I had stinking spells, a cold, clammy feeling, could not stand the slightest noise. At times I would almost fly to pieces; stomach very weak. My husband insisted on my taking Dr. was breakfast with nervous protraction. I had stinking spells, a cold, clammy feeling, could not stand the slightest noise. At times I would almost fly to pieces; stomach very weak. My husband insisted on my taking Dr. Miles' Nervine, and I began to improve before I had finished the first bottle until I was entirely cured." Many remedies are recommended for diseases of the nervous system that fail to produce results because they do not reach the seat of the trouble. Dr. Miles' Nervine has proven its value in such cases so many times that it is unnecessary to make claims for it. You can prove its merits for yourself by getting a bottle of your druggist, who will return the price if you receive no benefit. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind. DRESS MAKING AND PLAIN SEWING.

The club is formed of boys in the Eighth and lower grades, organized to fight the use of tobacco. The resolution was signed by 39 boys. The edict has been in force ever since Mr. Chapman's election, but was again brought to the notice of the force when seven employees failed to observe orders and filled one of the offices with a fog of cigaret smoke. They were "suspended" for several days, and later allowed to return to work. --- The weather has been very chilly and we had quite a snow here Friday and Saturday.
