Sovereign Grand Inspector General of the Consistory for Missouri, who will assist Wise Master Dickens in conducting the Scottish Rite services Saturday night. To the Baptists in Particular and Public in General. We, the officers of Highland Avenue Baptist church, desire to answer an erroneous statement which was made through the columns of the Western Messenger regarding our acts and doings with the Rev. L. H. Mills of Atlanta, Ga. First, we wish to state that the Rev. Mills was invited by the Rev. Bold, pastor, individually. The Church knew nothing of his being invited until the Rev. Mills had given his consent to come to run a meeting at our Church. In due time he came and preached nothing less than the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, and thereby won the confidence and approval of all who heard him. We wish further to state that according to rumors circulated we, the board of officers, have been maliciously charged with conspiring with the Rev. Mills to dethrone the Rev. Bold, pastor, by resorting to underground work. We hereby refute the charge and stand ready to defend ourselves. Now as to the Rev. Mills' conduct, we wish to state that during the time he preached for us his conduct was not ing less than that of an humble Christian gentleman. SIR RICHARD FULBRIGHT.

It is of course unfortunate for a lodge when the idea gets out that it is being run by a certain gang or clique of brethren who all call it the lodge. Yet there is another side to that question. It is true in nearly every case that the members of the lodge are the ones who are regular in their attendance upon the meetings and the only ones who can be depended upon to do any work. The lodge is paying a dues of Masonry. The casual brother is always busy when it comes to work on committees, whiting, staking, and other tasks, and paying dues. Were it not for the ring, sometimes, all these things would be neglected and nothing would be done. The lodge is paying a gang in the lodge is to join with it in the work and your good influence will soon dispel all criticism. If you are not in the lodge and pay only desultory attention to the transactions you must be content with the way things go on during KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1914.

To the Editor of the Sun: Dear Sir, I desire through the columns of your paper to call attentive to an organization about to be formed in our city of the Colored graduates from the various Colleges and High Schools of our country. It may not be realized that we have in greater Kansas City, graduates from many of the leading Universities and Colleges both North and South, such as Chico go University, Atlanta, Fisk, Oberlin the State Universities of Michigan Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa and Kansas; Cornell, Dartmouth, Brown, Washburn, Denver University, Lincoln, Pa. Howard, Wilberforce, Hampton and Tuskegee, besides our own Institutions of Lincoln Institute, Western University, Summer High and Lincoln High. The graduates of all professional schools would be included in this list, whether of Theology, Law Medicine, Dentistry or Upharmacy. It is true that some of these schools have formed local Alumni Associations and it is not desired to disturb any of these, but to form one whose scope and influence would be even greater. These young men and women of education and culture. Wilted together would be a potent force in our community for social and intellectual uplift. A strong club like this could bring to our city men and women of distinction as speakers and guests of honor. It could even aid some worthy struggling student by means of a scholarship. Organization is the great power of the 20th Century, and if our educated men and women cannot unite to wield it, who can? The Board of Education has kindly granted permission to use the Auditorium of Lincoln High School for organization of this body, and we hope to see every graduate of College, University, Normal School or High School who has a four year course, at that place Thursday evening, February 26 at 8:45. We hope that each Alumnus, young and old, will make himself a committee of one to find and notify young people who may be strangers in our city, but who are eligible to membership in such a club. Come, bring your school colors, badges, yells, to Lincoln High School, February 25 at 8:45 p. m. Roll call of Institutions, 9 p. m. ANNA H. JONES, Chairman of Committee. ANDERY NO. 3 OF WHICH SIR H.

Mr. Harvey R. Edwards, 59 years of age, died last Monday, February 16, at 8:30 p.m. at his residence, 922 Highland avenue, after a long and painful illness. Brother Edwards was one of the most popular men of the race in this community and his loss is sincerely mourned by not only the members of the fraternities to which he belonged, but by all who knew him. He was married to Miss Maria Sally in 1876 and leaves the widow COMMANDER WHICH WILL ACT AS AN and Mrs. Stella Ross, one grand-daughter, Miss Joyce Dorsey, and a son-in-law, E. R. Walden. Sir Edwards joined the A. M. E. church in Liberty, Mo., in 1879, and after moving to Kansas City, joined the Christian church, but removed his membership from there to Allen Chapel last year. He became a Mason in Liberty in 1877, joining Liberty Lodge No. 37 and was one of the charter members of Amos Johnson Lodge No. 149½ in this city; also a charter member of Monrovia Lodge, No. 4506, G. U. O. of O. F. At the time of his death, Brother Edwards was also Right Eminent Commander of Far West Commandery No. 3 of this city, and had taken all the degrees in Masonry up to the 32nd. Every care and comfort that could be shown was given him by his family and friends. The fraternal organizations have decided to bury him with the high honors befitting his position and the splendid services he has rendered.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Recently in New York there met the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The association, according to committee reports, is growing. That is well. There can be no doubt of the need of organized effort to protect the interests and even the most elementary rights of the negro. This is an unpleasant thought, but true. The appearance of Jim Crowism in the national offices at Washington, now thrown into higher relief by the president's strange reluctance to attack it, is only one expression of the tendency to isolate and hold the negro down. Recently Mr. Hyde has described the harsh and demoralizing conditions with which the most worthy class of negroes has to cope in Chicago. There is now appearing in the south a new segregation proposal, namely, that when more than a half of the acreage of a section is owned by one race, the voters of the section may exclude ownership by members of another race. In other words, says Doctor Du Bols, here is the policy of race segregation which has resulted in the degradation and destruction of the Indians. The reminder is sharp-edged. Our mistreatment of the Indians has been admitted to be a blot on the nation's 'scutcheon. Are we to drift into an evil even greater? As Doctor Du Bois says, a quarter century ago the solution of the negro problem was formulated thus: "Take the negro out of politics. Train him for work, especially for farm work." The negro has been taken out of politics by various devices of disfranchisement which in effect annul the thirteenth amendment. This process of constitutional repeal has been accepted complaisantly by a generation preoccupied with its own material achievements and political and social problems. The results of this twofold policy, according to Doctor Du Bois and other observers are "that the negro schools have been neglected; that a large proportion of the negro children are not in school, and that there has been quiet but determined opposition to the success of the higher schools for negroes, while in the industrial and agricultural field the negro has had to content against tremendous odds." It should be said in supplement to this, that in the south white schools also have been neglected; that the south has been very poor and economically retarded, and that in many districts the poor whites are worse off than the negroes. Yet, after all factors are brought within view, the human paradox appears that wherever the negro, in spite of the staggering handicaps under which he moves, has forced himself upward he thereby places himself in competition with white men and immediately becomes the object of their opposition. What is really wanted of him is humble, useful labor. Freedom in name he is to enjoy, but not the freedom a free soul demands, the freedom to move forward, to enjoy "the blessings of liberty," freedom in the "pursuit of happiness." We shall not solve the negro problem on any such basis. The wisdom of Abraham Lincoln, who said "this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free" is wisdom to day. Our policy toward the negro most certainly and most profoundly will react upon ourselves. That is a consideration which gives to the movement for the advancement of colored people the force of enlightened self interest.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Fifty-seven years of continuous service as a weaver is the remarkable record of a woman employed in a cotton mill in Saco, Me. The National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People, of which Oswald Garrison Villard, president of the New York Evening Post company, is one of the prime movers, was characterized as dangerous and misleading, and one of its Washington agents charged with fraud in a meeting of colored people in the Metropolitan church in M street, Washington. A resolution was adopted inquiring the number of school teachers and government employees who are giving their aid to the association, the manner of expenditure of money publicly collected for "the advancement of the colored people," the necessity for the existence of such an organization in the district, and whether the organization is incorporated according to the laws of the district. The largest electrical egg hatching plant in the world is in England, having an average output of 8,000 chickens a week. Mme. Alice Deschamps, a well-known French sportswoman, celebrated her eighty-fourth birthday by taking part in a lawn tennis, a golf and a croquet match at Le Touquet. To encourage the use of paper twine instead of jute for balancing wool the government of Uruguay has lowered the duty on the former. Montana produced a record amount of zinc last year and increased its silver output 4 per cent. over the figures for 1912. Another Tribute to the Horse. When it was first said last April that horseracing was to be resumed in the state of New York, Col. Frank Lin P. Morgan, who loves sport of any sort, expressed his gratification at the news. "Horseracing," he said enthusiastically, "is a great and glorious thing. It warms the heart, thrills the brain and puts money into circulation." in the group who was listening to him. "The only trouble is," added the An earnest plea for the bettermort of the rural colored schools of the south was made by James H. Dillard, president and director, at the annual meeting of the board of the Negro Rural school fund of the Anna T. Jeanes foundation, which was held at New York a few days ago. "The city, town and village schoolhouses for the colored children are often fairly good," says Mr. Dillard, "but in the open country, where we profess to wish the people to remain, and where we profess to wish to train these country children to better country living, anything better than a disgraceful shack is rarely found for the schoolhouse." The Jeanes foundation, established five years ago, and with the active and financial co-operation of the various counties of the southern states, and that of the Phelps-Stokes fund, is carrying on an educational campaign among the rural negro population of the south. The scope of the work is so large that though more than $38,000 has been spent for teachers' salaries alone, the officers and executive committee find themselves badly handicapped for funds with which to properly extend the work of the foundation. Only $1,195 was available for repairs and equipment of schoolhouses. So great has been the increase in the number of schools, that it has been found advisable to organize a corps of supervising teachers and state supervisors. The problem of meeting the traveling expenses of these workers is by no means an easy one. In many cases they are dependent upon private contributions from patrons of the schools, where the counties have made no appropriations for the purpose. Mr. Dillard is optimistic regarding the future of the work, and feels that in spite of many handicaps, a constantly increasing appreciation and spirit of co-operation is being manifested by school officials, both state and county. More than 300 members of the congregation of St. Francis Xavier's Catholic church at Baltimore, Md., sat at a banquet in the lecture hall of the church, the occasion being the continuation of the golden jubilee celebration of the church, which was opened by Cardinal Gibbons on Sunday. The congregation of St. Francis Xavier's church is a colored one and around the table were many of the most prominent people of the colored community. Councilman Harry S. Cummings said in part: "We are all citizens of a great government to which we owe all the loyalty and patriotism which we can command. We owe respect and obedience to the law of the land and devotion to everything which makes for the prosperity of our common country. And as our president, whoever he may be in person, is the head of the government, we owe respect and loyalty to him as citizens. We, in return for this loyalty and patriotism, are entitled to receive and enjoy to its fullest extent every right granted to us under the law. And as there should be no difference in degree in our patriotism, so also should there be no difference or discrimination in according to all citizens their rights. Let us hope that our president, with all the power at his command, may see to it that all citizens may be accorded the full measure of their rights, so that each and every one of us may vie with each other in his love and devotion for our flag and our country." A cork sunk 200 feet deep in the ocean will not rise again to the surface, owing to the great pressure of the water. At any less distance, however, it will gradually work its way back to light. Booker T. Washington finds that "Virginia is setting a great example for the rest of the south in the matter of showing how the white and colored people may co-operate for general improvement. I find," Doctor Washington adds, "that not only have the efforts of the Negro Organization society received the hearty support of the white people of the state, but that other special lines of endeavor have likewise received their most cordial support. "This is particularly true in the matter of education. Virginia was the first state to have a state supervisor of rural colored schools, and by so doing set an example for the rest of the south. The work of Jackson Davis in improving the negro schools of Virginia is an indication of how the best white people of the south are ready to give their time and talent for the betterment of conditions among negroes." Among improvements to be carried out soon on the harbor of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, is the building of an electric power plant to supply new coal loading machinery.

Canada cuts about 2,000,000 cords of pulp wood annually, about half of which is exported for manufacture in the United States. colonel dryly, "that in the matter of horseracing all of the horse sense is on the track, and none of it in the bett ing ring."-Popular Magazine. Keeping Cheese. To prevent cheese from getting hard, cut a small piece off for present use and place the remainder in cool place. Spread a thin film of butter over the cut part and cover with a clean cloth. This will prevent that hard, cracked condition which ruins the best of cheeses. TO MAKE PERFECT DUMPLINGS Really Is No Great Secret, Though Some Housewives Fail to Make a Success of it. The ability to make really good dumplings is to be desired in these days of high prices; and if we can get as much food value from half the quantity of meat, while adding to it a palatable and digestible amount of dumplings, we will get a better proportion of protein to the needs of the body. Dumplings made by the following recipe will be light and dry, and will be found excellent to serve with chickens, guinea fowl or veal, and may be beaten in the gravy in a casserole. They may be made successful on the top of the stove, also, if care is taken to keep the liquid at the simmering point, and not let boil rapidly after the dumplings are dropped in. Have the gravity thinner than is wanted to serve, as it will thicken some with the cooking of the dumplings. For five persons, beat one egg till smooth and light, add one cup of sweet milk, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt, and flour enough to make a stiff batter. Mix one teaspoonful of baking powder with the last of the flour, and beat well. Drop by teaspoonful into the hot gravy, cover and cook 15 minutes. Dish around the edge of a deep plate, the meat and gravy in the middle. OLD STYLE OF POTTED BEEF Nothing Better Has Been Devised Than This Method That Was Used by Our Grandmothers. Take a good piece of a round of beef and cut off all the fat. Rub the lean well with salt and let it lie two days. Then put it into a jar and add to it a little water in the proportion of half a pint to three pounds of meat. Cover the jar as closely as possible (the best cover will be a coarse paste or dough) and set it in a slow oven or in a vessel of boiling water for about four hours. Then drain off all the gravy and set the meat before the fire that all the moisture may be drawn out. Pull or cut it to pieces and pound it for a long time in a mortar with pepper, allspice, cloves, nutmeg and melted fresh butter, adding these ingredients gradually and moistening it with a little of the gravy. You must pound it to a fine paste, or till it becomes of the consistency of cream cheese. Put it into the potting cans and cover it an inch thick with fresh butter that has been melted, skimmed and strained. Tie a leather over each pot and keep them closely covered. Set them in a dry place. Game and poultry may be potted in this manner. From the use of melted fresh butter, instead of paraffin in sealing, and other points in this recipe, it will be simply suggestive and a good study for adaptation to modern conditions by those who desire to put up some of this delicacy for special occasion or emergencies. Angels on Horseback In spite of its name, this dish is a close relative of our older friends "pigs in blankets," To make these tid-bits, wrap each big plump oyster, drained and dried and seasoned with salt and pepper, in a nice, thinly sliced blanket of bacon. Skewer with a wooden toothpick and stick two cloves in the fat end of each oyster. Cook in a hot frying pan or the chafing dish blazer until the bacon is crisp and the "angel" or "pig," as you choose to call it, is ruffled around its edges. Serve on small squares of toast with a garnish of watercress and an olive or tiny pickle as an appropriate finish. Cupid Wafers. Beat one-half cup of softened butter to a cream and gradually beat into it the following in order given: One-half cup powdered sugar, grated rind of one lemon, one cup of strained honey, and two cups of sifted flour. Spread thinly on buttered tins in round forms about two inches in diameter and bake in moderate oven till browned slightly. Let stand for a minute then lift carefully and roll over a round stick. Very dainty to serve at St. Valentine's party. Tie each roll or two together with ribbon and serve with the ice. Poor Man's Sauce Mince an onion finely. Fry it in a little dripping until it is tender, then pour over it a glass of vinegar and a glass of water or broth, and a little pepper and salt. Let the sauce simmer gently for a few minutes, then add a tablepoon of mushroom ketchup. This sauce is to be served with young roast turkey. Sufficient for three or four persons. Painted Flat Irons One neat housekeeper's flat frons were painted with aluminum paint, such as is used to give a silvery appearance to radiators and stove pipes. She says it keeps them in perfect condition, preventing them from rusting. They were treated to a coat once a year. Of course the flat face of the iron is not touched with the paint. Old English Crisps. One cup sugar, one-half cup butter, one and one-half cups molasses, three cups flour. Melt the butter and the other ingredients, mix well together and drop by small spoonfuls far apart on a greased fat baking tin. Bake in a rather slow oven, remove from the tin with a broad bladed knife and place over the edge of a bowl to curl and cool. Whiten Scorched Linen. When white linen has been scorched in the froning, wet it with soapsuds, and lay it it in the sun, if the scorch is a slight one. If this does not remove the scorch, boil the piece in milk and soap in the proportion of a quarter of a pound of soap to a quart of milk. Butter Toffee. Very good toffee is made with one pound of sugar, one-half pound of butter, one-quarter pound of sirup, a pinch of salt, a little water and two tablespoons of vinegar, which last-named should be added Just before the toffee is done. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS It is the reproach oftened brought against the colored laborer that he loves pleasure too well to work steadily week in and week out the year round, and the charge is well founded, though it is equally true as regards a part of the native whites. Happy- lucky habitures inherited from slave ancestors are in large part responsible for the disbelief of the whites in the manifest improvement in the material condition of the colored people. Canners in the Chesapeake basin often import foreign labor from Baltimore through the padrones, because the newcomers can be counted upon to stick by the job the season through, while the colored laborer is apt to run off to a camp-meeting or take a trip to Balti- more when the cannery is busiest. Housewives are driven nearly mad by the impossibility of knowing whether the cook will report for duty on any given morning. When spring comes and the men have regular work and wages, the women desert the kitchens and let their husbands or lovers support them. With late autumn, when the farm work is done and many farm laborers are idle, the women are glad to go back to the kitchen in order that there may be money for the household. Thrift is a lesson that the descendant of the slave is slow in learning. In spite of much idleness, however, and extravagant indulgence in pleasure, the colored people of the Chesapeake basin are vastly transformed for the better in outward aspect within the past generation. The colored folk that crowd the villages on Saturday night are far better dressed than many European peasant proprietors. Indeed, the colored man's improvidence is apt to take the form of over-indulgence in dress and display. A colored farmer on the eastern shore of Virginia, finding himself with more than $2,000 in bank at the end of the season, bought five vehicles of various kinds. The bicycle is already much used by the colored people, and it will not be many years before colored men in the Chesapeake basin will be seen driving their own auto.—A. E. Vallandigham. The clinic of the negro school is showing every day more plainly the price southern white people have paid for their neglect of the problem of the backward race. A cook in a famous Nashville hotel, followed to her home, was found to house in a cellar beneath a foul tenement, to the last degree unsanitary. From this she passed daily to the preparation of food for fastidious whites. A student nurse found a colored baby sick of a contagious disease lying staring up at a clothesline stretched across the crowded, untidy cabin, on which hung the spotless linen destined to be sent back to an exclusive white home. Here in the north the doctrine of social interdependence has been pretty thoroughly learned. We know, if we do not live up to our knowledge, that the rich pay a terrible toll for the degradation of the poor. In the south, it would seem, there has been too much trust among the less inquiring classes that the negro's sins against sanitation would react only upon himself. They are awake now. Five thousand students in southern colleges are this year studying Dr. Weatherford's book on the race problem. The rank and file are coming to see that the tying up of negro religion with social hygiene is likely to have results incalculably important to the whole south—Mary Bronson Hartt, in the Boston Transcript. Fifteen thousand colored men in Paris are forming a trades union to resist the efforts of the white workmen, who are claimed to be attempting to prevent the colored men from getting an increase in pay. The union will include chauffeurs, hotel porters, domestic servants and others. To the Department of Public Instruction and Fine Arts of Spain has been allotted $63,000 for use toward establishing and improving workshops of the country's industrial schools. Canada is nearly 30 times as large as Great Britain and Ireland, the total area of the Dominion being only 237,000 square miles less than the whole continent of Europe. A Freiburg physician reported in his practice alone seven persons whose eyes were permanently injured by gazing at the sun during the progress of an eclipse. The average woman can get more exhilaration out of a cheap compliment than a man can out of a quart of champagne. The United States patent office last year granted 38,754 patents. In the same period 21,427 patents expired. Searchlights are to be found mounted on the observation platforms of some western railroad trains. The largest and highest cactus in the world is found in Arizona. It is 232 feet in height. German cities having a population of 100,000 or more boast of their fine taxicab service. Jane Addams, while walking in South Halsted street the other day, was approached by an excited woman, evidently a Greek. The woman, unable to talk English, was gesticulating frantically and pointing to a house in Ewing street. "Pyrros!" she exclaimed. "Pyrros! " "Yes?" said Miss Addams gently. "Pyrros!" repeated the woman, tugging at the other's sleeve. Finally a great light broke *boke* in the Addams. "Pyrros" is *greek* on these words. Many of the whites in the Chesapeake basin believe that their colored fellow-citizens are not improving materially, morally and intellectually, but he that has known the region for 30 years or so, and who returns to it with a fresh eye, cannot fail to note the improvement that has taken place in that time. The statistics of farming alone in the period between 1900 and 1910 are convincing as to the recent economic improvement of the colored man. In Maryland, Delaware and Virginia, as in many other states, the actual acreage in farms decreased in the decade 1900-1910, but in each of those states the number of colored farmers owning their land decidedly increased. In Delaware the increase was from 332 in 1900 to 406 in 1910; in Maryland, from 3,262 to 3,350; in Virginia, from 26,566 to 32,228. In each of these states colored tenant farmers are being converted into land owners, for in each the number of tenants is decreasing, while the whole number of negro farmers is increasing. The value of farm lands and buildings owned by colored persons was more than $22,500,000, and colored tenants and managers were intruded with the administration of farm lands and buildings to the value of nearly $25,000,000. Thus the colored farmers of the Chesapeake basin are now in the ownership or occupying of farm lands and buildings to the value of more than $55,000,000. A generation ago, when the colored people were still almost within the shadow of slavery, a prosperous negro farmer was a rare sight in the Chesapeake basin. In that region the system common in the cotton states of turning over from 20 to 100 acres of land to be cultivated to cotton by a single slave family was little practiced, so that the colored people were not ready to be turned into tenant farmers, and then into land owners. A few free colored persons had owned land in Delaware, Maryland and Virginia while yet slavery flourished.—Baltimore American. Twenty-two years ago Jonas W. Thomas, a negro of Marlborough county, South Carolina, began his career as a farmer by buying an old horse for $40.75, and by renting 30 acres of South Carolina land for 1,400 pounds of lint cotton. After four years of hard work and close saving he was able to buy a mule for $65 and also 67 acres of land. Then he began renting and working farms which belonged to other men. Gradually he was able to buy the land he had been renting. He also found it worth while to open a commissary. Now Thomas lives in a 12 room house and employs on his $40,000 plantation, 39 families, consisting of 189 men, women and children. He grows a variety of crops, including cotton, corn, and some garden truck, and raises his own horses, mules, cows and hogs. He has received as much as $31,000 for his cotton crop alone—400 bales of long staple. On an average he has saved $3,000 a year for 22 years. All that he now has on his farm is his own, "directly and indirectly," he affirms with justifiable pride. In a single year he has borrowed one local bank and repaid $23,000. "Good credit," so Thomas says, "explains a fair share of my success." There are floating "movies" in the Netherlands. A bill was introduced in the senate by Senator Kenyon of Iowa providing for the expenditure of $200,000, the balance remaining in the hands of the freedmen's bureau, for the construction of a home for aged and infirm colored persons in the District of Columbia. When navigation officially opened April 24, there were in elevators, on steamers and on railroad cars at Ft William and Port Arthur, at the head of Lake Superior, more than 42,750,000 bushels of grain awaiting transportation. British exports to Mexico during the first ten months of this year were considerably greater than during similar periods of the two preceding years. There are 438 iron mines in the United States, employing 65,170 persons, and costing for operation and development $74,017,830. A gas buoy broke away from the moorings in the St Lawrence and drifted for two years, covering a distance of 18,000 miles. The total production of coal in China at present reaches almost 10,000,000 tons a year. A patent has been issued for a pen-cil-holding clip to be fastened to a person's ear. The homes of this country require about $239,887,000 worth of furniture each year. The total output of Idaho's various metal mines last year set a new high record. word meaning "fire," and the woman was simply trying to tell her that her house was on fire. An alarm was sent in. The blaze proved to be only a small one and the fire department experienced no difficulty in putting the "pyrros" out—Chicago Inter Ocean. Hallowe'en Happenings When the boys smash our neighbor's gate, it's the exuberance of youth, but when they smash our gate, it's an outrage. YUCATAN,the AMERICAN EGYPT Copyright by Underwood & Underwood SCENE IN YUCATAN GES past, so the Greek historians tells us, there was a continent called Atlantis that was peopled by a highly cultured race. Warriors they were and on conquest bent. The Greek gods, fearing the subjugation of their own people, cast about for means to stay the victorious onrush of the Atlantean, and finding none, appealed to oxyed Juno, who persuaded Jove to destroy the Atlanteans by sinking Atlantis to the bottom of the sea. Tradition has it that at the same time another continent rose, like Aphrodite, from the sea, and that some of the Atlantean survivors escaped into this newborn country and there established another empire. How much of truth and how much of romance there is in this is impossible to state, but there is one thing certain, the peninsula of Yucatan is an infant, comparatively speaking, and of neptunic parentage. Its entire area is nothing but limerock (madreporis) containing the shells of living species and that of fossils bridging the phocene and pleistocene periods, about 12,000 years ago, the traditional date of the Atlantis disaster. bacteria from a topographical and geographical point of view is a strange and remarkable land. It is practically an absolute flat and there are no rivers and no lakes as generally known. The crust of rock covering the peninsula is very porous and full of immense subterranean caverns. The abundant rainfall of ages filtered through this crust and filled these caverns, these great masses of water under pressure gradually perforated the rock and found an outlet to the sea underground. The crust over these subterranean streams in some places, caving, formed pools, nearly all circular and with steep sides and with a depth of water from a few feet to several hundreds, but rarely exceed 200 to 300 feet in diameter. The pools—cenotes as they are called there—are not plentiful and not all have potable water. None have really good water. All are heavily charged with the different salts. No metals or any of their chemical compounds or combinations are found on the peninsula, but on the south and where the peninsula connects with the mainland and the geological formation changes, there are large copper deposits, which were known to the Maya. His smelting furnaces and the scoriae from them can be found today along the banks of the Río Hondo, the boundary of British Honduras and Mexico. Of soil there is very little. Planters in that country do not buy plows, but use giant powder to cultivate and plant with; still it seems paradoxical, the whole peninsula is covered with a thick, luxuriant and barely penetrable forest of precious hardwoods, such as mahogany, cedar, rosewood, sainwood, lignum vitae, ebony and hundreds of other beautiful woods. Pre The three-year-old daughter of a young married couple has been reared to appreciate moving pictures and vaudeville, but, until recently, she had never been to church. When she accompanied her parents to worship, she naturally expected to be entertained, and was a little restless as she waited in vain for the expected performance. When the family returned from church the little girl's mother asked her how she liked the service. "Well," said the child, thoughtfully, "the music was nice, but there wasn't any vaudeville." First Turtle Soup. According to some authorities, Bristol, England, has a special claim to fame as the city where turtle soup was invented by a seventeenth century mayor who was also a shipowner. The captain of one of his ships brought home a live turtle, thinking that the owner would like to have it in his fahond. This happened just as the mayor was about to give a civic banquet and deeming that his A Yucatan a Strange Land. Little Girl's Criticism. First Turtle Soup. dominating is the achras sapote, or the chicle gum tree. There are enough of these to make chewing gum for the whole world. This is the land of which the Maya made himself the lord and master when he came from the mystic land of "We-know-not." At a later period, probably a thousand years before the Spanish conquest, there came to him from across the sea and from the west some mystic wise men, who became his teachers and instructors in the arts and sciences. The peninsula, away from the highway of nomadic tribes and nations and unknown at that time to the captains of industry, was the home of the dove of peace, the symbol of which to the Maya was the quetzal, the jewel of the jewelbirds. The Mayan, hot having to keep up an enormous standing army to keep peace or to defend his country from a foreign invasion, not being bothered within by trust, monopolized lions, schisms or the high cost of living, devoted their time to the mystic and wise men, who evidently found a willing and apt pupil in the Maya, as the result shows. They soon became expert stone cutters, masons, painters and architects. They were excellent astronomers, proof of which is their calendar, and naturally they must have known the fundamental elements of mathematics. Having passed the stage of pictographs, they had evolved a system of hieroglyphs from which to the letter was but a step. And so they prospered, multiplied and built their magnificent and stupendous temples and palaces. But as time passed they became (as it always was and will be with men) divided against each other, with disastrous results. A few decades before the coming of the Spaniel, one of these internecine wars commenced and did not end until the common danger compelled them to Jay aside their petty quarrels and combine against their greater foe, who slew them by the hundred thousands. Population Decimated. Tradition says that the Mayans numbered about 2,000,000 at the time of the conquest, but scarcely 3,000 full-blooded and free Indians remain today. Physically they are short and sturdy of body, colored somewhat lighter than the northern Indians, and that they are of Mongolian origin is plainly shown by their skulls. Some writers seek to connect the Maya with the hero god, Itzamma, who, they say, led the Maya from the east across, or rather through the sea, thus giving the Mayan an Atlantean origin; but a close study of Mayan architecture, myths and tradition rejects that theory and accepts the western immigration of the Maya as the only tenable one. Of all the Indian tribes of the American continent, the Maya was the most highly cultured and civilized. guests might appreciate a new dish. he ordered that turtle to be stewed. The aldermen were so delighted with the novelty that they re-elected their host to the municipal chair nine times running. Very often when the dining room is near the kitchen the sickly smell of cooking becomes unpleasant. By pouring a few drops of oil of lavender into a glass of very hot water the air of the room is purified almost instantly. This is also useful in a sick room. If the lavender is prepared just before dinner is ready to be served, the room will be filled with a faint but very acceptable odor of freshness. Really Forced to it. "I understand," said the judge, "that you stole the watch of the doctor who had just written a prescription for you at the free dispensary. What have you to say to this charge?"

FISHERMAN TELLS THIS ONE Giant Sturgeon Tows Austrian to Camp and is Later Served to Crew of Hungry Men. Lashing a 100-pound sturgeon to a raft, when he found the fish too heavy to carry, forcing the big member of the finny tribe to haul him into camp where later the sturgeon was served up to a crew of hungry men, is the latest fish story that has reached Boise. It was brought to Boise, Idaho, by Frank Maxwell, an engineer of the forest service with headquarters in Boise. A large crew of men is stationed at the Ox Bow tunnel, on the Snake river, between Idaho and Oregon. A rancher named McPherson notified the foreman in charge of the camp that if he would send some of his men up he would give them a fish. Thinking that one man could manage a single fish without trouble, the foreman sent one of his Austrian laborers after it. When he arrived at the McPherson ranch, however, the Austrian found the sturgeon. As the fish was still alive the Austrian built a raft from logs, leaving an opening in the middle for the fish to swim, and then lashed the sturgeon securely to the raft. Pushing the craft from the shore he allowed the fish to propel him into camp, several miles below. A fish menu was served at the camp that night. "It is estimated that one-ninth of the world's supply of quinine is used in India," said a well known Chicago doctor at the Hotel Safford. "Java now gives the world more quinine than any other country. At one time India tried to lead the world in the supply of quinine, and if that country should at present take steps to extend the culture of cinchona it may not only protect its own interest, but perform a world-wide service.

Chase it und, like the yelping hound, st will run and attract everyone within hear ing, Let it alone and it will die of its own weight, leaving @ bitter taste on the lips of its originator. A young man handed a shop girl a getacquainted note. That was very indiscreet, A welfare worker trapped the young man by means of a fake telephone call. That was very unfair. A judge fined the young man five ‘Thundred dollars, That was very high, Moral:—"Let ‘em alone.” Prof. J. Silas Harris, president of the Negro Educational Congress, is disposed to take a gloomy view of Tecent proposed legislation aimed at the Nquor traffic. He thinks that the enactment of such laws would sstrike at the very root of human lib: verty and that they should not have ‘whe support of the Negro. | OVERCOMING PREJUDICE. By Charies A. Stark. ‘Every person of color is compelled ‘Ao notice some instance of race hate, prejudice or socalled intolerence every day of his life. This is es: pecially true of the down-town worker, ‘whose active and widespread activity ‘carries him into the different marts, ‘Dusiness district; then, too, on the ears; in the homes of the other race aod every concetvable place where ‘wctivity is or has any bearing with ‘the life of a great bustling city. Perhaps the colored porter is more soften reminded that there is a “dif- erenca” between him and. ba, faire sther who works along beside him the fame employer, often st the me scale of wages, but with this aif ‘the colored brother's sta- tion Is usually “fixed ae he % seldom encouraged to look above | certain height; whereas his fairer brother is flooded with opportuninti ‘and inducemonts to rise to the high jest possible position, May we not conclude that the Negro loses out on Account of color? Of course unjustly ~ ie ) What About Personality? It the Negro loses on account of color prejudice he is making it up ‘in personality. Herein les the one power to overcome’ prejudice and ‘solutlonize the race problem indivue Ally and effectively in our own busi- ness dealings with the other feltow, whether it be transacting a pure ‘business deal or as employe and em ployer. Personal worth is a fair definition of personality, since it is left to the individual to prove of what grade hls personality is made. Whether it be good or bad, strong or weak. Wo believe the average col- ‘ored person who works in the down, |town stores is aiming to make his personal services win recognition over | the usual boundary lines and hence ‘overcome an unreal prejudice which can not stand before his intrinste worth to his employer, This Is cer ‘tain: Good service has never hurt any employe’s standing, but goes a long way toward breaking down fences which have been built by the vain imaginations of men, The In: telligent Negro keeps this thought in mind, The ‘other fellow” whom we showed to be overflowed with oppor: tunities for advancement, often fails ‘on account of lack of this “personal: ity” or personal wort. Seeing this, how much more should the Negro seek to be efficient in his own line (to use the vernacular) and not be content to merely “get by.” In pro: portion as the Negro becomes a rec ognized economle factor in that in stitution by which he Is employed. {however humble that moy be, he is not only demanding a better wage but | wins for his race a deeper consider ation, | Intelligence and Politeness. | We have confined this line of rea |soning chiefly to the porter, the hote | waiter and the car driver, believing \these to make up what is terme in contace with other races more s | than any other class of Negroes an jamons! whom are found some of th s| vest examples of manhood. — Thes | people know better than anybody ho *lthe door of opportunity is linge! ‘| cloced and they know best how t | art open that door, too, The ,| Know that intelligence has won fo °! them places which nothing else cou! [have done, ‘There was a time whe the Negro was considered ag a mer .|clown and an object of amusemen | but the “yessa, boss” person {s by coming obsolete, employers perferrin | service rather than entertainmen ") ‘Phen intelligence and politeness at | the prime factors which will mot *.) any amount of intelligence, in ot "0| business relations with others, W ,.|find that courtesy is not altogeth ®-| withheld from us and that it is large .g|dependent upon our own sense what {s good and true in attempti ~ | to break down the barriers of a false p,|drawn line which cannot remain Bee ne eee VILLA 18 NOT GOLDSBY. We are In possession of definite in- formation that proves beyond a doubt that General Francisco Villa is not Goldsby, the Negro sergeant of 10th Cavalry. ‘The proof is that when Villa was closely and thoroughly examined and all his personal effects scrutinized it was found that his shoes bore the stamp of a shoe firm in Mexico City “Mex. while it is a fact that “G.

M. EGBERT (Copyright, 1913, by W. G. Chapman) Our little yacht cut daily through the great waves that rolled in an unceasing surge off the great Northcape of Norway. It was the end of September; the nights and days were equal, but a blue line on the horizon betokened the approach of the Arctic icepack that would soon descend to seal that silent coast until the following spring. Nothing could exceed the loneliness and desolation of the sea-scape; not a sail or line of smoke was visible. Far on our starboard lay the Norwegian coast. There were six of us aboard with Nikolai. We were all consumed to know the reason for our presence in those cold waters, far from civilization. This was the day on which we were to be told. Nikolai assembled us on deck—we were all members of the international league—and broke the seal of a document. Then he read out the orders. "Satcha Alexandrovitch, with five other revolutionary patriots, is on his way to Archangel aboard the Potemkin," he told us. Our mission was to rescue them. For these men had been the hope of Russia and of freedom through many stormy months; at last, treacherously betrayed to the minions of the tsar, they had been sentenced, after a mock trial, to perpetual banishment in the frozen wastes of northern Russia, where no man ever lived long enough to communicate with his friends again. It was a sentence of death in the penal settlement there. And on the following day the cruiser Potemkin would round the great cape on her journey into the White sea, the last before the closing in of the ice, bearing her victims. Afterward, Nikolai communicated to me his plans, as we sat side by side within the cabin, studying the charts. "Here we shall intercept her," he said, pointing to a dot off the coast. "And all her guns and complement of soldiers and sailors will never save her." He unfolded his scheme. "Here is the lighthouse," he said. "Its light, burning steadily, alone makes possible a voyage between those rocks and shoals. We shall destroy the light; the ship, misled, will be buffeted to pieces upon the rocks. The prisoners have been warned. They will escape in the confusion. Perhaps they will perish; but the chance is better than the certain death which awaits them." It was a desperate undertaking, the little yacht against the armored battleship, but none of us thought of chat. Our hearts were elated with the magnitude of our task. That night, running in close along the rocky shore, we sighled the lighthouse. It was of the old-fashioned type. The lenses did not revolve, but a steady stream of light issued through them on three sides, shooting out like a warning finger far into the darkness. "We shall shoot out the glasses," I said to Nikolai. "Perchance, if we shoot out the central lens, no light visible from a distance will issue. The Potemkin will sail to her destruction." Nikolai smiled rather sadly. "We cannot approach that coast within two thousand yards," he answered. "And, at that distance, no rifle bullet would penetrate those thick lenses. Moreover, at such a distance, who could hit a beam of light by night—or even the lighthouse, by day, clothed, as it always is, with perpetual sea-fogs? "What then?" I asked. "We must take it by storm," he answered. "It is guarded by three soldiers—veterans of the Imperial Guard, Russia leaves little to chance. It must be captured." That night the lighthouse was to be rushed. There was no other way. At dark we took our way in toward the shore cautiously by means of the Sead; we anchored at a distance of a mile and a little more, and leaving two men aboard, the five of us remaining rowed cautiously through the rocks. More than once our little boat upset, leaving us clinging to the sharp, needle-pointed crags. But each time we recovered ourselves, by some fortuitous miracle. At length, dripping, frozen and utterly exhausted, we reached the rocks on which the great lighthouse stood. It towered above us, a veritable colossus of masonry; and from its summit the steady beams of light poured forth on three sides through the fogs. And now I perceived why my suggestion could not have been carried out. The lenses were set back into the masonry, so that no rifle bullet could have been aimed at them from the base of the cliffs. Only far out at sea would they become accessible, and there, as Nikolai had said, they could not have been pierced. We had brought cutlasses and revolvers. At a word from Nikolai we crept cautiously across our slippery foothold until we reached the ironbound door at the base of the tower. Faintly within we heard two watchmen singing a peasant song. "Now, men," said Nikolai, "it will be useless to knock. Nobody will open IS THE BACKYARD OF EUROPE Conflict Between Races the Result of Centuries of Mohammedan Oppression. Those are not a particularly popular tot of Christians who are just now fighting the Turk. Bulgarians, Servians and Macedonians sound a bit rampageous and fantastic to those of us in this country who do not happen to be running for office. Nevertheless, "What then?" I asked. to the sea, for they know that no person could some here with anything but evil intent." He picked up a huge bowler, polishing it aloft with ease. "Follow me!" he cried, and hurled himself with his burden against the door. That was the mightiest blow that ever I saw struck. It shivered the oaken timbers from bottom to top. Only the iron bolts restrained the fragments of the door. A moment later and we had cleared away this obstruction, just as two bearded giants stepped along the flags within and confronted us. "Yield!" cried Nikolai in Russian, covering them with his revolver. They threw up their hands with alacrity. "Where is your companion?" Nikolai asked. "In the light chamber," they answered sullenly. We dashed pell-mell up the stone stairs. We came upon him as he descended; in a twinkling he was disarmed. The lighthouse was ours. It was the work of a few moments to pour out the oil and break the lenses. "We should have kept those fellows prisoners," said Nikolai. "Still, they can do no harm. They will not dare attack us, and there is nowhere for them to go. Now, men, back to the boat. We hurried down. As we ran we heard shouts beneath us—defiant, mocking, they seemed. When we reached the ruins of the door below the cries came from the darkness, mingled with the pounding of the surf. Nikolai exclaimed aloud and ran on alone across the slippery rocks. I heard him stumble and fall. Then curses came to us from without, and a hall of bullets whizzed past our ears. At the same instant we heard oars grating against the rocks. Then we understood. We had not thought to guard our boat. The watchmen had taken it, and, knowing every inch of the coast, would doubtless run it away. Another hail of bullets made us dodge. Nikolai came limping back to me, his face convulsed with fury. "We're trapped like rats," he said between his teeth. Then a thought struck him. "They must have a boat of their own," he called. "Follow me!" He dashed across the rocks again, the rest of us after him. When we reached the other side we found the remains of a painter. The light-house keepers had taken their own boat as well. And, while we waited there, a succession of five shots came from the darkness on this side also. We cowered back into the darkness. "One man in that boat," said Nikolai. "Those shots are from his magazine. And two in the other. Now—are they acting in concert, or does each think we are the other?" We were soon undeceived. As by a signal, a volley came from either side. Two of our men cried, stumbled, and sliding across the slippery weed, splashed into the sea. The wind was rising, and all the while the breakers had been pounding upon the rocks. We shouted in vain; we could not make our voices heard above the uproar of the elements. Rain was falling, mingled with a light snow. "Into the light-house, men," cried Nikolai; and we reached cover just as another volley flattened itself against the massive walls. We looked around us. In a tiny chamber was a heavy table, bolted into the stone. Nikolai set his shoulder against it and wrenched it bodily from its fastenings. Then we half dragged, half carried it along the narrow passage to the doorway, where we tilted it on end. It fitted the orifice well and formed a barricade against surprise. But our condition was a desperate one. We had only our cutlasses and revolvers against rifles, and no more than twelve cartridges apiece. Yet we were three against three; and if our adversaries had command of the offensive there was always the vacht. As the attack was not renewed, we left the third on guard and descended into the bottom story of the lighthouse. Here we found a curious, winding passageway, cut out of the living rock, apparently, and opening into an extensive chamber, evidently the work of engineers. At the entrance we discovered ample provisions in the shape of flour and salted meat, as well as dried fruits and a great tank of water, connecting with what must have been a rain reservoir on the top of the light-house. As we approached the chamber in the rock a low moan reached my ears. "There are men in there!" I cried to Nikolai. "Who are you?" he called. Only a moan answered. An oil lamp was burning in a niche of the damp wall. Nikolai snatched it up and, despite my warnings, advanced toward the dark recesses of the prison, I following. In the far nook we saw a sight that called forth a cry of pity from my companion. Stretched out upon a bed of filthy straw, his hands chained to steel staples in the wall, was an old man, emaculated, and apparently upon the verge of death. Beside him knelt a remarks Harper's Weekly, they represent Christian civilization as against Turkish Mohammedanism, and if they are backward in it, be it remembered that it is the Turks who have kept them backward. In the fourteenth century, when the Turks overran the Byzantine empire, southeastern Europe was well to the front in civilization and the leader of Europe in the arts. For six centuries the Turks "In the name of God who are you?" Alfred Marris woman, of mature years, but bearing the marks of great beauty and dignity, despite the prison pallor of her face. "In the name of God, who are you, friend?" asked Nikolai. "I am Adam Gortchakoff," answered the old man, opening his eyes. I saw Nikolai start back and clap his hand to his forehead. "How long have you been confined here, Adam Gortchakoff?" he asked with a quavering voice. "Twelve years," the old man answered. "And my daughter also." "God help you," muttered Nikolai. Tears welled into his eyes. "Russia has not forgotten you," he said, raising the old man's hand to his lips. "Nor you, madame. But we thought you had died in Archangel." "There were twelve prisoners here when I arrived," said the woman in French. "My father and I have alone survived." She turned upon Nikolai fiercely. "Does Nicholas Stambuloff still work for Russia?" she asked. "He is still our hope and Russula's hope," said Nikolai. Then, hastily, he began telling-them of the desperate chance that had let us hither. "Can you endure your chains for a few hours longer?" he asked. "We have endured them twelve years," answered the woman; and she bent over her father and pressed a damp sponge to his lips. The sight was inexpressibly painful to me; for the first time I began to understand "In the name of God. who are something of the hatred which inspired Nikolai against the tyranny of the tsar. But he could linger no longer. Bidding them a hasty farewell, and assuring them of their approaching liberty, Nikolai retreated up the stairs. Outside dawn was breaking. Our man was still on guard; the attack had not been renewed. "I dared not tell her that her lover is aboard the Potemkin," said Nikolai to me. "Nicholas Stambulov was captured and sentenced to Archangel; he is one of the six revolutionary leaders —otherwise known as Satcha Alexandrovitch. We must and will restore him and his bride to liberty. And think—for twelve years they have not met." "On guard!" cried our companion. We heard steps on the rocks; we drew our revolvers and waited. But, what was our astonishment when, through the mists, we saw our two companions of the yacht and the three Russian soldiers conversing amicably together as they approached us. A short interrogation convinced Nikolai that the truce was a genuine one. We hurried down and, by the aid of a file which the soldiers gave us, had soon freed the prisoners from their bonds. Then, seated together over a meal, explanations were offered and received. It appeared that the light-house was used as a secret penal station to which prisoners were sent who had been sentenced to the mines of Archangel. The secret had been well kept, and this explained why none of those sent to the frozen north had ever been heard from. They were not there; the cruisers put them invariably up on this desolate rock, where they remained in chains until death claimed them. The soldiers naturally thought have damned the progress of these states that have now assailed them. For all that time southeastern Europe has been a hotbed of hatreds and racial, political and religious jealousies, and the atmosphere of such things does not favor the gentler and more attractive virtues. The Christians out there seem pretty wild religionists, but they have the Christian impulse to better themselves. It is a cruel war, full of desperate venoms, but well worth understanding and following To persons who that we had discovered the location of their captives; this explained their desperate efforts to regain the lighthouse. They had abandoned the attempt, knowing of the death of two of our men, and had resolved to make by boat for the open sea. But they had known nothing of our yacht. The men whom we had left there, seeing the soldiers advancing in their boat through the fog, had believed them to be us; they themselves were not seen by the soldiers, who, in rowing, naturally had their backs toward the open sea. Thus the two parties ran into each other's arms. Cut off from the open sea, the soldiers had nowhere to escape; on the other hand, the men in the yacht, anxious to learn our fate, opened a parley with them, being all Russians and from the same territory. In the end it was recognized that a truce must be effected until the fortune of war should decide for one side or the other. This was satisfactory to the soldiers, but more so to us, who knew of the approach of the Potemkin. "Fools that we were," said Nikolai to me. "Had we known what we know now we should have let the Potemkin land her new captives here, concealing our yacht in the offing, and, when she had departed, we should have taken them with us and sailed away. Now all is lost. The vessel will pound to pieces on the rocks and our captives will die with the crew. Or if they land, we shall encounter you? the attack of a hundred desperate men. At all costs the Potemkin must be saved." "We can save her yet," I answered. "One lens is still unbroken. It was struck from the frame but not shattered. With this we can bring the vessel in safely." "How?" asked Nikolai. I took him up into the light chamber. As I had said, one of the three great lenses had remained uninjured. Then I explained my plan. As Nikolah took it in he became greatly excited. He clapped me upon the shoulder and strode up and down the room, vowing that the bride should yet be restored to her husband, from whose arms she had been snatched a short week after the wedding, twelve years before. This was the scheme. The single lens, set into the central frame, would convey the light straight out to sea and afford a signal for the cruiser. The Potemkin would anchor in the offing, place the prisoners in a boat under a guard, and row them ashore. We should admit them, capture and disarm the guard, and hold them in the vaults. The next party that came would meet a similar fate; and so all who arrived, for even if they suspected any danger, we could defend the light-house against a regiment, while the thick fog would render a bombardment impossible. What would probably occur, however, would be that the ship's officers, after the second party failed to return, would believe that both boats had been swamped in the breakers, and would take the ship back to Russia without further investigation. We raised the great lens into the central frame. We refilled the oil lamp; and once more, though on either of two sides was darkness, through the central aperture a great are not students of history and international politics it may seem just a backyard fight. To scholars and diplomatic experts it is much more interesting, for there, in the backyard of Europe, the leaf is turning on six centuries of history, and the processes of civilization are working out with scrapping and bloodshed, as is the immemorial way. Rescue Mission for City. Atlanta is to have a large interde nominal rescue mission. ```markdown ``` --- searchlight shone straight out to sea. It was a little after midday when, through the thick mists that cafedo us, we heard the booming of guns. One, two, three—and silence. Then the signal was repeated. It was the Potemkin. We put our three friendly enemies down in the vaults, first exchanging clothes with them. They went readily enough, when we had explained to them that their imprisonment—was only temporary, until after the vessel's departure. Then three of us, dressed in the Russian uniform, with the two other men in the rear of us, waited for the arrival of the boat. It seemed an endless interval—it was really about an hour before the ship's boat grated against the rocks. She carried the six prisoners, chained, with six armed guards. Nikolai welcomed the sailors in their native tongue. They advanced, entirely unsuspecting. Then, in a trice, we had sprung on them and disarmed them. So sudden was our attack that they attempted no resistance; they stood staring at us, foolishly grinning. The prisoners were no whit less astonished. I did not admit Nicholas Stambullo to see his bride, as Nikolai wanted. The shock would have been too sudden for both of them. We kept her below with her father; he still required her constant attention, although the hope of freedom had wonderfully fanned the flickering flame of life. But he would live now: he Alfred Morrow would see freedom if never Russia again. We placed our new captives with the soldiers below and waited for the second boat. But no boat came. With the callousness of the Russian officer, the commander cared nothing for the fate of the crew. If they had perished on that dangerous coast, at least their captives, chained as they were, had died with them. That was all he cared about. At four o'clock we heard four guns fired in swift succession. It was the sign of departure. Excusing himself, Nikolai rushed up the stairs. I would have followed him, but he signed to me to wait below. When he returned I could gather no information as to the reason of his departure. We brought our captives, now nine in number, up from the vaults. The situation had already been explained to the sailors by the three soldiers. We offered them a safe passage to England, our destination, whence they could readily ship aboard some boat for the Baltic. As there was no alternative, our terms were eagerly accepted, and once more our enemies were converted into friends. I congratulated ourselves upon the termination of our adventure—bloodless, save for the death of our two men the night preceding. But when at last Nicholas Stambuloff understood the situation he turned upon Nikolai like a madman. At first his anger was in comprehensible to all of us. Nikolai, soothing him as a child, told him that presently he should meet some one whom he would be gald to see. “There is nobly whom I would be glad to see,” raved Nicholas. “Do you know what you have done, you hound? Listen, and I will tell you. Pretty Tradition of Moss Rose. A German tradition gives the origin of the moss rose as follows: Once upon a time an angel, having a mission of love to suffering humanity, came down to earth. He was much grieved at all the sin and misery he saw, and all the evil things he heard. Being tired, he sought a place where in to rest, but as it fared with his master, so it fared with him, there was no room for him, and no one would give him shelter. At last he lay Twelve years ago my bride, married a week to me, was snatched from my arms and carried off to a dungeon by the soldiers of Russia's tyrant. I never saw her face from that day to this. After a mackery of a trial she was found guilty of conspiring against the taar and sentenced to Archangel. "I could have given myself up and received the same sentence. I could have been banished thither and have joined her there. And I refused. Do you know why I voluntarily cut myself off from sharing her exile? For Russia's sake. For Russia's sake, and because, while free, I could still fight for liberty, I hid from the soldiers, I worked in Russia for the cause. Every day I have hoped for capture; and every day I have worked like a mole in the dark to avoid it—for Russia's sake. "And when at last the tsar laid hold of me and I was sentenced to Archangel, all my heart leaped up. I knew she was not dead. Had she died I should have felt and known it. I always knew that somewhere my wife lived, waiting for the day of reunion. And all through the voyage on the Potemkmil, I was happier than I have ever been before, because I was going to her and should see her again! "And you, you fool, have ruined this! You have given me back my accused liberty, and once again I must return to Russia to fight for freedom." Nikolai had signaled to me in the midst of this tirade and I had understood. I went into the vault and led the woman up the stairs. I think she saw him first. Her face grew even paler than the prison pallor had bleached it. Then a flush spread over her cheek and throat. I caught Nicholas by the arm and spun him around. At first he gazed at her with incredulous eyes; then he drew toward her, wonderingly. She held out her arms. I turned and left them. On the next day we pulled out to the yacht and put our crew aboard. There was nothing but joy among us all at the prospect of departure from those gloomy shores, for already winter was at hand and ice floes choked the sea. There was no time to be lost. We set off southward down the Norwegian coast toward a land of sunshine. I never saw a happier couple than Nicholas and his bride. Only one thing siddened me: bith announced their determination to return to Russia to take up the people's battle. "It is right," said Nikolai. "That is their only happiness in life. And some day through their efforts and those of their comrades, the land will find its peace again." Upon the rocky shores lay the wreck of a mighty ship—an armored vessel. Trough the glasses I could make out the name Potemkin on the stern. She lay half submerged among the lapping waves. There was no signal, no sign of life on board. Had a man survived that sudden wreck he must have perished in the boisterous surf. Nikolai, standing by my shoulder, smiled grimly. "Look at the light-house," he answered, to my unspoken question. And then, looking backward, I saw no light. "Yes," said Nikolai, "that is my work." And then he told me what he had done in the tower on the preceding day. With his blood-thirst unsatisfied, he had creep up and shifted the great lens from the middle to the side compartment. The light, cut off from the open sea, now flared at an angle of ninety degrees, invisible from where we were, but clearly discernible round the arm of the coast. The captain of the Potemkin, ignorant that the direction of the light beam had been changed, had steered his course by it straight upon the rocks and perished there, with all his crew. ENGLAND'S MANY RICH MEN Incomes Largely Derived From Investments Abroad, Which Reach an Enormous Total. England's assessed income from abroad, as set forth in the income tax statistics last year, reached the immense total of $620,000,000, which represents capital of nearly $13,000,000. These incomes are derived from foreign mines, gas works, water works, tramways, breweries, tea and coffee plantations, nitrate grounds, oil fields, land, financial, telegraph, cable, shipping and insurance companies, branches of banks and mercantile companies, mortgages on property, loans and deposits abroad and profits of all kinds arising from business done abroad by manufacturers, merchants and commission agents. When it is realized how great is the capital invested by Englishmen abroad in these varied interprises the immense aggregate income, outside that included in the income tax statistics, can be imagined. According to the same statistics, there are 214 persons in the United Kingdom with an income of $275,000, which means that there are that many persons possessing a capital of about $6,000,000 each. But these are not the richest Englishmen. There are 66 with an income of $500,000 and over, 55 with an income of from $375,000 to $500,000, 27 with incomes of $235,000 to $375,000, and 56 with incomes of from $275,000 to $325,000. Furthermore, there are 4,143 persons with incomes of $50,000 and over, which means the possession of a capital of $1,000,000 and more. Consequently the total of persons 'in the country who possess at least $1,000,000 does not fall short of 4,751.

HOME TOWN HELPS New Town Official Has Become an important Factor in American Life. There is a new official in American city life—the civic secretary. He represents the link between education and life in the big cities. For a number of years American educators have been striving to bridge the chasm that seemed to exist between educational influences and the every day lives of the people. By means of evening schools, libraries, extension lectures and more recently civic, social and recreational centers much has been done. It has remained to combine these connecting educational forces under one active officer, and this has been accomplished by the new position of civic secretary. The civic secretary at Duluth, Minn. is appointed by the board of public welfare of that city. He has charge of all the local social center work. Plans to secure the same sort of officer are reported to be under way in several other cities of the middle west. The official may not always be called the "civic secretary," but his functions are generally the same. He organizes educational extension work; gives intelligent and sympathetic aid to play and recreation; stimulates discussion of public problems; in short, he consolidates and directs the civic agencies of the community for the benefit of all the citizens. In Superior, Wis., a "city exposition" is planned by the civic secretary, who is here called "director of the civic center department." In this city exposition not only local industries but the educational and municipal institutions will have an opportunity to exhibit their methods and results. The exposition idea is only a single item in a large program mapped out by the director. There will be various social and recreational activities, lecture courses, civic and ward improvement clubs, and a clipping bureau will be established to collect information on social, civic and municipal matters. BEQUESTS ALL COULD ENJOY Money Left for Public Parks Would Keep Donor's Memory Ever in Remembrance. He hath left you all his walks, His purple arbors, and new planted or- chards. On this side Tiber; he hath left them you, And he hath bare him from some snares and to your heirs for ever; common pleasures. To walk abroad and recreate yourselves. Why do not more persons wishing to benefit the people after their demise leave, for park purposes, their private gardens to the dear public? What more effective way to insure remembrance after one is good could be devised? Those who provide in their wills for silly shafts of stone, etc., do the public no lasting benefit, nor do they perpetuate a memory of the donor, for they leave nothing worthy of remembrance or that proves either a boon or a benefit to their fellow-man. Parks, either large or small, are imperishable monuments to the fellow-being who, in his wisdom, craved remembrance from his kind. Misuse of Vines. The mission of the vine, in its relation to dwelling houses, is to soften the harsh, monotonous lines of architecture, to extend its beautiful tracery partially over the sides of the building so that sprays of stem and foliage have their beauty accentuated by a suitable background. Its misuse consists of allowing it to grow in thickened mass, obscuring all lines of architectural beauty, shutting out light and air, thus conducive to unhealthful atmosphere, funeral aspect and a general air of depression suggestive of tomb-like darkness and silence. Vines are glorious in their proper use, but become nuisances by abuse. Basic Idea of City Planning The basic topic of city planning is the clear recognition of the fact that no one can accept responsibility for any smallest element in the complex unit that we call a city without participating also in the joint, undivided and complete responsibility for the future excellence or inferiority of the city as a whole, says Frederick Law Olmsted, in the American City. This joint responsibility is one which cannot be shifted, even though our knowledge and powers be inadequate to the task of meeting it completely. San Diego to Have Civic Center San Diego to Have Civic Center. San Diego, Cal., is to have a civic center and the Business Men's and Civic association are determined to make it a model of its kind. The idea of locating it so that the courthouse will be on the north, the park in the center and the city hall on the south, with the enlarged San Diego hotel on the west and the chamber of commerce on the east of the park, has aroused the admiration and enthusiasm of all. Excess Condemnation. Without the principle of excess condemnation American cities must either be planned from the very beginning, or else city planning on any effective scale must be abandoned, for the cost is prohibitive. It is strange that frowns should be worn by some people who could not possibly be induced to wear anything else that did not become them.—Lipncott's. Questioning Your Own Worth.

THEIR BEST PEOPLE BY LAWRENCE DEVINE. Linfield meant to buy the old house in that remote Mississippi county. He held the option, and Colonel Jarrett had courteously left him in charge for two weeks while he went to New Orleans to sell his tobacco. Linfield was tired of city life; he wanted a good soil for the crops he intended to plant, with hunting for his leisure hours, and enough atmosphere to make his next novel readable. Besides, his people came from the south. Then there was the girl—a shy, wondering girl of about twenty years, who took her outhouses out walking every day past Linfield's gate. Linfield had been set upon once by Tiger, and the girl's apologies opened the way for an introduction. Linfield learned that her name was Mary Gates, and that her father, the major, and three brothers, lived in the big house a mile away, among the cotton-pickers' cabins. Once, while they were talking, one of the brothers rode by, and at the sight of him the girl turned swiftly aside, as though she had not spoken to Linfield; yet, as the man rode by Linfield could see that he half checked his horse, with a frown on his face. After that the girl only offered the least nod. "Our best people, the Gates," said the only other neighbor that Linfield had—the man who brought the milk and provisions from the town, four miles away. "Real southern gentry, sir." "Those brothers don't seem remarkably friendly," said the writer. "Friendly!" echoed the other. "They haven't any friendship for strangers. Why, only last year there was a fellow town here from Nashville, staying with Colonel Jarrett. Miss Mary used to go past his gate, and a sort of flirtation sprang up. She got talked about—you know country ways. The brothers came down with guns to shoot him up, but he got over the back fence a minute too quick for 'em. Jarrett and Gates haven't spoken since." Evidently the Gateses were dangerous neighbors. Linfield was conscious of an increasing interest in Miss Mary. She was a type he had never met before, a primitive survival in these wilds. Next time she passed he drew her into conversation. In the midst of it hoofs were heard, and instinctively the girl darted into the shelter of a high privet hedge, leaving Linfield staring foolishly into the face of the rider as he came past. Stolen interviews are proverbially sweet, and not many days had passed before both were conscious of their dawning love. But when Linfield hinted at an invitation to the house Mary showed every sign of terror. "I had a friend last year," she said R. H. H. P. E. S. "What Do You Think of This, Mary?" tremulously. "He was only—a friend—he lived here—and Jim and Bob threatened to shoot him. Some busy-body saw us talking. Colonel Jarrett and father haven't spoken since. You see, we are very formal in this district. If only we were friendly with the colonel, and he could introduce you—" The thud of fists against his door startled Linfield out of his sleep. He struck a match and lit his oll lamp. The blows were redoubled. Outside were threatening voices. Linfield opened the door. A rush of men bore him to the ground. In a trice he was bound, limp and helpless, and staring up into the faces of the Gates men. "Get his clothes on, Bob," said one of them. Ten minutes later, having been unbound and dressed, Linfield was conducted at pistol point into the road, where, fastened to a horse's bridle, he was made to jog over the ruts and stones until the Gates house was reached. The captors led him into the huge hall. There stood Mary and an old man with a long beard, whom Linfield guessed to be her father. And a little apart, with downcast eyes and clasped hands, stood a man in clerical costume. "We've got him, dad," said one of the men. The old man turned to Linfield, and his hands shook with passion as he spoke. "We've caught you this time, you infernal scoundrel," he shouted. "Thought you'd eluded us last year, didn't you? In these parts, when a man gets a woman talked about—" "Father," cried Mary in agonized tones. "I tell you this isn't—" "Silences!" roared the old man. "When he gets her talked about he dies like the dog he is or—" "Marries her!" yelled the young men in chorus. "Make your choice and make it quick!" said Major Gates. Linfield lifted his eyes toward the blushing girl. If they had said hell or heaven he would have felt much as he did then. "T'll marry her," he said. "Parson, you may proceed," said the major to the clergyman. THE RESIDENCE OF LORD FAIRFAX AT ALEXANDRIA VA PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH AT ALEXANDRIA VIRGINIA OMEN have done much at Alexandria, Va., to preserve the relics of the days of George Washington.

On the right the large dragon's day it w white, and the took an activeivity and lea- Alexandria played no small part in the formative years of Washington's youth and early manhood. A representative Virginia town, it stood then and for generations later for all that was beat of colonial standards. Its people had much to do with the molding of Washington's character, and Washington richly repaid Alexandra, or Belle Haven as it was first called, by his never failing concern for its welfare and advancement. Probably no surviving structure in Alexandria harbored Washington within its hospitable walls more frequently than the old Carlyle house, and certainly none was more directly associated with the foundation of the milltary side of his life. Strange as it may seem, for many years this historical landmark has been hidden away behind the battered front of Alexandria's once noted hotel, the Braddock house, occupying one corner of the inner courtyard, shut away from the public gaze and denied the outlook of the broad approach which it once enjoyed in the days of its well nigh baronial importance. Until a few years ago the Carlyle house was largely used as a storage place by a local dealer in colonial antiques, but a few patriotic Virginia women saved the building from further indignity, though not entirely from danger, as the old furniture found a new abiding place within the still more inflammable Braddock house, adjoining. 1732 John S. Carlyle imported from the Isle of Wight the stone of which the house is built, and he absorbed for part of the foundation a portion of an old fort which had been built many years before for the protection of the English traders at Hunting Creek, as the place was then known, against the Indians. The barracks of that ancient defense became the cellar of the Carlyle house, and in those cool, dark, dry retreats were stored in Washington's day the bulging casks, cob-webbed bottles, and delicious old hams for which Virginia has long been noted. Another part of the old fort forms the plaza at the rear of the house upon which the broad central hallway opens. It was upon this plaza, in the far away days, that the Carlyles and their guests gathered on summer evenings to discuss the questions of the time or to pass the hours chatting over a heartsome glass amid the soothing smoke of the fragrant Oronoko. It was there the young people watched the moon rise over the river and took their pleasures in the decorous manner of those days. Then, the gardens ran down to the river's bank and overlooked the docks at which the trading craft were moored —trading craft that came from over HAD THE STAFF GUESSING New Reporter's Monumental Bluff All most Deserved to Succeed, But He Overlooked One Point.

"My boy," he said, "family relationships are hard things to come by sometimes, but, once made, we hold to them in this part of the country." There were tears in his eyes as he clasped his daughter in his arms. "What do you think of this, Mary?" asked her husband, reading the above. "I think it's the stupidest story I've ever read," answered Linneld's wife. "And you've actually used our names." "I have to, dear, according to the rules of the competition," replied her husband. "Competition, my dear?" "Yes. The 'Ladies' Fireside Companion' is offering 20 prizes of a thousand dollars apiece, you know, for the best description of 'How I Met My Wife.' Don't you think this ought to have a chance?" "Well," said his wife thoughtfully, "it's got sentiment, and it's got atmosphere. But don't you think it is a little improbable?" "Not so improbable as the truth," answered Linfield. "Fancy, in a whole world full of people, that I should actually have met you that unforgettable morning in the subway." "I'm afraid we weren't introduced properly, dear," his wife answered. "Were we?" "Well, you see, you didn't happen to have any brothers," said her husband, kissing her. (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) NERVES ALWAYS SUFFER No Matter What the Bodily Affliction, They Are Bound to Be Involved in the Trouble. Almost every little or great alliment throughout your system affects your nerves, says a writer in the New York American. Your eyes and liver and lungs and stomach and heart and many other things throughout your system all "take it out" on the poor nerves if they happen to be a bit out of order themselves. Recent discoveries show that 90 per cent. of nervous troubles are due to other disorders. Eye strain is one cause. Not only those who have to use their eyes constantly, like students and lapidaries and miniature artists and engravers, but city folks who live and work where their vision is restricted, are all sufferers from nervous troubles, more or less. The eye wants to get exercise as well as muscles. Living in narrow streets and gazing out across little alley against brick walls, rushing into narrow cars and hurrying into small rooms, all keep the vision down to narrow limits and pretty soon eye strain sets in and this brings on nervous trouble. And one of the peculiarities of this is that many people will not notice that they have eye strain because the nervous disorders that result will be so much worse than the cause. Eye strain is much less common in the country. Working in a stooping position, curving the spine, brings pressure on the tiny blood vessels, and this in turn acts on the nerves. "I get so nervous sitting still," one will say. As a matter of fact, the continual pressure on the spine reacts on the nerves. As Sedentary occupations are more common to the cities there is more nervousness from this cause in cities. Liver troubles bring on quick nervous disorders; city noises in time affect the ears and the nerves are again in for a siege of trouble. Not even at night or during sleep is there complete quiet in the city. Women become irritable because of excessive blood pressure, and again it is their nerves that suffer—also every one else about them is apt to suffer. Valuable Antiquarian Find Valuable Antiquarian Fidg. An antiquarian find has recently been made in the Isle of Oxna, a barren, sea-sexed spot near Scaallow, Shetland. It is one of the most ancient and interesting gold ornaments ever found in Scotland. A crofter's son observed a brownish yellow object protruding from a spot where turf had been taken for farm purposes. He picked it up and found it was a heavy, curiously-plaited bracelet of rustic or rude make, and from its weight, seemingly gold. Recently it was shown the schoolmistress of a neighboring district. She wrote the antiquarian society describing the bracelet and suggesting purchase. An offer of $100 was made, and at once, without further inquiry or advertisement", accepted by the holder, James Fulaton, Hamno Voe, Burra Isle.

A farmer asked a blacksmith what he would charge to join five pieces of chain of three links each. The blacksmith answered, "A cent a cut, and a cent a weld." "Let me see," said the farmer, "that would be eight cents." "No, six," replied the blacksmith. It took the customer a long time to see how the two extra cents could be saved. "Youth's Companion.

OMEN have done much at Alexandria, Va., to preserve the relics of the days of George Washington. It is not the capital of the nation, despite its name, that is richest in intimate associations with the life of the first president, but Alexandria, which stands midway between Mount Vernon and the city of Washington. TOWN WASHINGTON LOVED the seas to barter the silks and riches of the east and the tropic abundance of the West Indies in return for the famous tobacco with which Alexandria's one big warehouse was filled. That was a period of bounthe hospitality and courtly grace. On the right of the broad hallway is the large drawing room. In Washington's day it was finished in gold and white, and there on many occasions he took an active part in ball and festivity and led many a fair Virginian through the stately steps of the minute and the less exacting reel. The hallway itself, if tradition be correct, is not without its sentimental interest, for it was at the foot of the beautiful staircase of solid mahogany that Washington awaited the coming of the lovely Sally Fairfax upon a particular evening and while escorting her into the ballroom offered her his heart, which she rejected. On the opposite side of this same hall is the blue and white room, which was John Carlyle's particular retreat. Within that room Washington received his commission as a member of General Braddock's staff in 1755. What that meant to Washington we can only partly divine, but there is no doubt of its significance to us as a nation because of what it taught him of the fighting ways of the British soldier. From the broad portico of Mount Vernon Washington saw Braddock arrive with his transports and his regiments of red coated soldiery and pass onward to Alexandria, nine miles above, coming with the splendid traditions of the king's troops and with all the martial fanfare of regulars. As a leader of the local provincial troops Washington had won for himself a creditable renown, but here were soldiers supposedly of sterner stuff and higher military capabilities. General Braddock promptly accepted the hospitable invitation of John Carlyle and established his headquarters under the roof of that gracious host, the little blue and white room becoming the council chamber in which were planned the preparations for that memorable but ill fated campaign against the Indians, Washington's previous experience as a leader of local troops against the savages made him welcome at those conferences and his keen judgment and practical advice earned for him Braddock's admiration and the invitation to serve upon the British general's staff. It is enough to add that in the trying work that followed the British records testify that "the Virginia officers and troops behaved like men and died like soldiers," and Washington came out of the strife unscathed and ripier for the far more serious task that lay ahead of him. The architectural student will find much to interest him and to warrant study in the Carlyle house. The old windows, the doorways, the primitive cupboards, chairboards, doorsteps, cornices, molding, etc., are exquisite in taste and rich in quaintness and elegance of detail. There they are as they were in Washington's time, and in common with the rest of the mansion are regarded as among the best specimens of the so-called colonial style. In February, 1752, a market was in Jefferson McAddister would like to speak with him? Yes, that's the name, McAddister, journalist. (The other reporters listen in awe-struck silence.) The New Reporter—Is this really Mr. Devoy? My name is—Ah, you recognize my voice? You perhaps remember that I interviewed you yesterday? What's that? Best report? Oh, thank you! You're very kind. I tried to make it so. Has anything turned up in regard to that case since noon? Well, sorry to trouble you. Eh? Din moment's notice. With such speed do they get ready to start that often they arrive on the scene before the hospital ambulance. Many lives have been saved by this almost instantaneous response to a hurried call for help. There is much that the nurse can do before the ambulance comes, and not infrequently these few moments mean the saving of life. Each nurse wears a plain dark costume. There is a short skirt, a simple blouse, with white turnover lines. 1 situated in Alexandria and the citizens were justly proud of their enterprise. The market place then lay directly in front of the approach to the Carlyle house and that same mart of country produce was intimately identified with Washington's domestic life at Mount Vernon and was one other means of displaying his common sense. We of today know but little of the hardships of that colonial period, and feasting was not always as abundant as the etory book would have it. Rev. Mr. Weems, that chatty chronicler of the times, tells us that Alexandria then boasted more rightly of its beauty than its means of charming the palate. "The neighborhood of Belle Haven was not a desert; on the contrary it was in many places a garden spot, abounding with luxuries. But its inhabitants, the wealthy, were not wise. By the successful culture of tobacco they had money. And having filled their coach houses with gift carriages and their dining rooms with gift glasses they began to look down upon the poorer sort and to talk about families. "Of course it would never do for such great people to run market carts! Hence the poor Belle Havenites though embosomed in plenty, were often in danger of gawning their nails. And unless they could cater a lamb from some good natured 'cracker' or a leash of chickens from the Sunday negres were obliged to sit down with long faces to a half graced dinner of salt meat and journey cake. "This was the order of the day, A. D. 58, when Washington, just married to the wealthy young widow Custis, had settled at Mount Vernon, nine miles below Belle Haven. The unpleasant situation of the families at that place soon reached his ears. To a man of his character, with too much spirit to follow a bad example when he had the power to set a good one and too much wit to look for happiness anywhere but in his own bosom, it could not long be questionable what part he had to act. "A market cart was instantly constructed, and regularly three times a week sent off to Belle Haven filled with nice roasters, kidney covered lamb and veal, green geese, fat ducks and gobblers, chickens by the basket, fresh butter, new laid eggs, vegetables and fruits of all sorts. Country gentlemen dining with their friends in town very soon remarked the welcome change in diet. 'Bless us all,' exclaimed they, 'what's the meaning of this? You invited us to family fare, and here you have given us a lord mayor's feast.' 'Yes,' replied the others, 'thank God for sending a Colonial Washington into our neighborhood.' Cut Off. The world is well aware that a stern kaiser has forbidden his officers to dance the tango or to go to tango parties. They say that a young lieutenant met a friend in the streets of Berlin the other day and embraced him with fervor. "I'm dying of loneliness!" said the lieutenant. "What!" said the friend, "lonely in Berlin!" "Just that," returned the other. "You can't go to anybody's house any more. They all dance the tango"—New York Evening Post. ner? You're extremely kind. At Sherry's? What? And a bottle? (Surging interest in the entire staff.) It's awfully kind of you. Well, say Tuesday at eight. But really I—City Editor (in his everyday voice)—I have some work here, McAddister, when you are quite through talking to yourself. That telephone has been disconnected since morning.—Puck.

"By the way, did he say anything about me?" "Not a word. We were just having a pleasant little chat, you know." COOKING TERMS MADE PLAIN With These Thoroughly In Mind the Housekeeper Will Have Complete Understanding of Recipes. Different terms are properly used for different methods of combining ingredients in cooking, as any one who has handled a cook book very much must know. But every one who has tried to cook does not know just what these various terms signify. Stirring is one thing, beating is another, folding and cutting are yet others—that we all know. But what are they? Stirring is effected with a circular motion, widening from the center. That is the technical description. Folding is the term applied to the motion which prevents the air already inclosed from escaping and at the same time mixes the ingredients concerned. It is this motion which must be used when whipped cream, beaten egg whites and other light and beaten ingredients are mixed together or with more solid masses. Keep the meaning of these terms in mind when you cook according to a recipe. Remember that an ordinary cake you stir and beat. An omelet you beat and fold, and you do the same thing to a sponge cake. Cutting is the lightest sort of mixing—hardly mixing at all. Shortening is sometimes cut into flour with a knife. But the shortening and flour cannot be mixed completely by cutting. IN THE MATTER OF FLOUR Important Thing to Know, Since So Much Depends on the Quality of This Staple. Perfect flour has a slight yellow tinge and a faint, pleasant smell, especially after wetting. Dazzling whiteness indicates bleaching; a gray tinge or minute black specks, showing only under the microscope, grinding from spoiled grain. Test by gripping a handful—if it remains the shape of the hand and shows the lines of the palm, buy it. Gluten is a most desirable element. Test for it by wetting a pinch to a stiff dough, and washing the starch out of it in cold water. The greater and tougher the stringy residue the greater the gluten content. Wet another pinch very soft, take it betwixth thumb and finger, and try to spin a thread. If it spins it is right; if it does not, but makes only blobs on the finger tips, there is likely to have been corn ground with the wheat. Another test for corn mixture is to dry a pinch, but not scour it, and rub between the fingers. Pure wheat flour will not feel gritty, but corn, no matter how finely ground, remains a little rough. Set flour barrels a little above the floor, and do not use the same one continuously. Any wooden container may become a harbor for insects. A japaned tin can, emptied and aired monthly, is best for keeping flour, meal or oatmeal in bulk. All should be kept where it is dry, airy and free of smells, as all take up taints very readily. Tea Ring Method—Use part of the dough and place on well-filled board. Now put and work it lightly, dipping the hands into flour until stiff enough to handle. With floured rolling pin pat into a flat sheet, brush with melted butter, strew sugar and chopped almonds over, then roll like a jelly roll. Grease a large flat tin, place a greased empty baking powder can in center and slip the ring around. When light, flour a dull pair of scissors, snip the ring two inches apart, from outer edge to center, now turn each section on edge, like a star. Bake in brisk oven, reducing the heat after awhile. When nearly done brush with icing made of confectioners' sugar rubbed smooth with hot water strew chopped almonds over and place New Upholsterings. Among the materials for upholstering are a lot of new Puritan prints. These are new in texture, in design, in colorings and color harmony shadings. One called "fantasy," shows a well covered floral pattern allover, with fluttering birds between, splendid color harmony and exquisite shadings. A new printed linen in Riverlin design, and mercerized rep in diadem and feeton designs, are unusually attractive, while Aurora and other new subjects on Bedouin cloth show to exceptional advantage. French and Fruit Creams French Cream—Break into bowl white of egg, add equal amount of water, stir into it confectioners' sugar and mold into shape. Then set aside to dry on plates of waxed paper. Fruit Cream—Seeded raisins, fig, citron or currants chopped fine, may be mixed with French cream before all the sugar is added. Press into cake an inch thick and cut into cubes. Chopped nuts are very nice. English walnuts with cream between, too.—Eryad. Dry in the Shade While it is well to dry all stockings out of the sun, this is particularly true of black stockings. Another precaution to take so that hosiery will not lose the quality of its black is to add a little vinegar to the water in which they are rinsed—a teaspoonful to a quart of water is the right proportion. It is well, after the stockings are dry, to shape them with the hand but not to iron them. When Peeling Apples When peeling apples if boiling was needed, you can use the skins the will come off more easily. Willing to Suffer. Louise had made loud and repeated calls for more turkey at the Sunday dinner. After she had disposed of a liberal quantity she was told that too much turkey would make her sick.

"It's curious how habits fasten themselves on people. You know Wappsley?" "Yes." "He's an enthusiastic fisherman, and always has a story to tell about some gigantic monster of the deep that he almost caught." "I've heard him tell a lot of lies of that kind." "Well, it seems that burglarls broke into his house the other night and he got up and captured one of them—a little fellow—but you ought to hear him tell about the size of the one that got away." Didn't Get It. "So you think you are entitled to a raise of salary?" "Yes, sir. I am always the first one here in the morning and the last to leave at night." "Oh, that's no argument. I happen to know that your home life is unhappy." Enviable. Deeply loving, and glad at heart, He goes his way. Faithfully doing his ordered part From day to day.

"I shall not do it," she saucily replied, for she had just been invited to go to dinner with the son of a Pittsburgh millionaire. "When I trample on your love I shall do it with my feet." Might Have Expected It "My wife belongs to all the antisultry societies there are. She believes that kindness will accomplish anything. It would pain her to even harm a fly. In fact, she once tried to write an essay on sticky flypaper." "What happened?" "She got stuck on the first sentence." A Mean Man. "Does your husband turn his salary over to you?" "Yes," she sadly replied. "Then why are you so downhearted?" "Oh, it doesn't do any good. He often makes a few dollars extra which he spends for his own pleasure without letting me know about it." His Only Chance The man who has never become sufficiently important to lift a first shovelful of earth or lay a corner stone or drive a last spike may as well try to become reconciled to the fact that prosperity will have to honor him, if he is to be honored. How It Happened "How did you ever happen to pick out such a dismal place as the Mammoth Cave in which to spend your honeymoon?" "You see, our parents objected, and we were both anxious to keep it dark." Remarkable. "Chiggsworth admits that he gets seasick every time he happens to be on a boat in rough weather." "Remarkable!" "What is remarkable about it?" "That he admits it." Voice of the Skeptic. "What a liar Bankhead is." "Why do you say that?" "He has just got home after having been away on a four weeks' trip with his wife and three children, and he claims that he enjoyed himself." 1910 This house was built for an ex-Mayor of Kansas City. It has 9 large, light and airy rooms, large attic suitable for pool room or gymnasium, full cemented basement, combination furnace, lot 50x150, east front, street and alley paved, large barn suitable for garage. Several prominent Negroes have bought in this block, so the owner has decided to sell and in order to make a quick sale has reduced the price from $4,000 to $3,500, $500 down and $20 monthly. An ordinary family could live in four of the rooms and the other five could be rented for enough to make the payments and interest. Surely opportunity is knocking at your door. Will you continue to pay rent or will you buy? If this is too large, we have several others.

Richard Rush of Sedalla, Mo., preached the sermon, which inspired rather than made sad the vast throng of citizens who turned out to pay last respects to the departed that stormy morning. J. C.
