In the realm of Being where Silence Supreme, when the Mind finds Consolation sweet, Wondering over the interminable bounds, The Soul exulting in the Atmosphere of Security, Acts Best, Thinks Best, and is Best, Oh, Solitude! Still Noble Thought catches us everywhere, With most great spirit in hearts All is Mind, hence the low places are Skimmed And the lofty peaks are touched, Oh Thought! A BRILLIANT RECEPTION.

KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1914. Women's Club Notes A meeting of the members of the greater Kansas City branch of the National Association for the advancement of colored people was held Saturday evening at Lyric Hall, President Woody Jacobs in charge, the object being to place the Association in the firing line for active work during the year. The refusal of the Loose-Wiles Biscuit Company to admit the colored women members of the Welfare Board Study Class and the attempt to oust the colored tenants in the 25th Block in Highland Avenue were among some of the more serious matters the society will aim to redress. A light lunch-on was served. The next meeting will be with Miss Anna H. Jones, April 4th. The Sorosis which is composed of some of the most intellectual ladies of the two Kansas Cities met Monday with Mrs. R. E. L. Bailey, 2620 Euclid Ave. Much time was given to the laying of plans for the study of Modern Social problems and the appointment of delegates to the various Institutions of the City.

AN APPEAL TO AFRO-AMERICANS Afro Americans let your voices rise, Let your echoes rink thru the skies That by your country you'll do the Let your echoes sink thru the sites That by your country you'll do the work. That for your liberty you will fight. Afro Americans betray not your trust Nation's blood has been shed for us Then by your country you should be true, For your race's success depends on you. Afro American upon you the lives Hang on your sons, your daughters andwives, Then by your race you should fall And abstain the things that injure us all. Afro Americans go on until you hear The voice of God, ringing out so clear Come unto me, you who the victory has won, As to respect of persons I have none. God we know created all mankind, And in the midst the blackman you'll find 110 Where you're going to shun him no one can tell. For he is sure to be found in earth heaven and hell. We have just read a complete account of what will undoubtedly prove to be the most dastardly and outrageous assault upon womanhood that has ever blackened the pages of civilized history. Edgar Allen Poe and Balzac could not with their remarkable imagery have detailed a more horrible account of rape than that alleged to have been perpetrated by six WHITE men of this city upon a WHITE woman. That they were sober is the testimony of the victim. THEY THEN MUST HAVE BEEN impelled by a brutality indigenous to their very nature augmented by a constant practice. The very contemplation of the assault is revolting to the most conservative mind. The luring by that serpent, the calm and calculated preparation for the attack, the actual assault by the brutes; the excruciating torture; the threat of death for resistance; this on the part of the six fiends, the pitiful cries for mercy, the futile struggle for freedom, the sustained agony, the longing for that Demon to pull the trigger, the swooning, the dash for liberty, all this from the victim and finally her own relation of the awful details of the afternoon's terrible outrage present to the citizens of this city a graphic picture of the most infamous and perfidious crime ever conceived and perpetrated by men of any race. What motive actuated these despoilers remains to be proved. What extenuating circumstances can be urged? What alibi can be offered? What plea for clemency? NONE. Death is the only reward. The law says Death. The honor and safety of women cry out, Death. Justice decides Death. The necks of two Negroes were broken for a crime less brutal. We stand waiting to see how fares Justice in the hands of a white man when white men are to be judged. Will the Potters hand shake? We stand waiting to see how fares Justice in the hands of a white man when white men are to be judged. Will the Potters hand shake?

LAST CALL YOU PEOPLE TO WHOM WE HAVE MAILED STATEMENTS, WHY DON'T YOU PAY UP? OR AT LEAST BE KIND ENOUGH TO ANSWER OUR LETTERS WHICH WERE SENT YOU? LAWN TENNIS CLUB. The Kansas City, Lawn Tennis Club Missouri Valley Champions will begin practice in a few days preparatory to making up the team that will play St. Louis early in June. In the interview with Dr. McQueen Carrion, captain of the Kansas City Tennis Club, he said to a reporter for the Sun that all members will be given a chance to make the 1914 team, and that they would be expected to report promptly for try out. The Doctor said that when the games are played with St. Joseph this summer he hopes to charter four cars to carry the Kansas City Club and their friends and make it the social event of the year. He also expects a large number to accompany the Club on their trip to St. Louis. Preparatory to the work of the season the Club will give a ball immediately after the Lenten season which is expected to be one of the most delightful affairs ever given here. Regardless of the fact that news reaches this city that the St. Louis players have been practicing constantly all fall and winter, Dr. Carrion predicts that Kansas City will have no more trouble "trimming" them this season than they did last. All Tennis players desiring to join the Club and all others desiring information are invited to call Dr. McQueen Carrion, captain, 18th and Paseo, over the Peoples' Drug Store.

Submission to constituted authority is a cardinal point in the doctrine of Masonry. Through that principle only has the great importance with the words, "one is right all the time, therefore should not have his way all the time." In this respect, this in mind when tempted to continue vain contentions. The peace and harmony of the lodge should be maintained by the care of personalities, Harsh, ill-tempered speech is the tool of the ruffian, not of the Mason. True Masonry exertes its power and the care of benefits as not as compared to diviner tenets of the order. In former days Masons met only to converse with the little ones.

Cast of Characters STRIKING A GUSHER When Jared Bliss took sick and the reports from the doctor looked gloomy and foreboding, his friends and relatives called once or twice and then left him to die. It had been ascertained that he was "all in," not only physically but in a financial sense. "He's simply reaping the folly he sowed," sapiently observed his nephew, Walter Pope, forgetting that it was the liberality of the good old man that originally started him in business. Other selfish and ungrateful relatives echoed the sentiments of the ingrate, Pope. The man upon whom they had counted to enrich them when he was through with life had "wantonly thrown away his fortune!" He had given about half of it to charity. He had a hobby for antiques and became the victim of every unprincipled curio huckster. He was credulous, benevolent, unsophisticated. The stock jobber and the promoter had worked him to a finish. 100 100 100 100 Netta Lysle was an orphan and daughter of a half-sister of Bliss. The old man knew her, and when her mother died had seen to it that her child was bestowed in the care of the Pope family. They had made Netta work for what they gave her. One Christmas Jared Bless had given her a pretty watch and chain. Its inner case bore a photograph of her mother, and she had always cherished the gift. Feeling kindly as she always did towards all humanity, Netta was shocked at the petty meanness of the Pope family when sickness and ill fortune overtook the artless kind hearted old man. She realized that he was practically deserted. One morning she appeared down stairs with her few possessions packed in a satchel. "I am going away, Aunt Martha," she said simply. "When? Where? Why?" challenged Mrs. Pope. "Right now, to Mr. Bliss, because he must need some one to take care of him in his sickness." "Folly! Why. He has no money! Do you want to starve to death with him?" "I won't let him starve while I am able to work," declared Netta. "This is simple nonsense!" insisted Aunt Martha. "So, Netta, if you leave A "I Found This Among the Rubbish." this house on any foolhardy errand you need not come back again." "You have been very kind to me, Aunt Martha," replied Netta, "but I feel it my duty to go to Uncle Jared." Netta found Mr. Bliss hobbling about his home scarcely able to get around. He listened gravely as she told him she had come to be his housekeeper until he got well. The place was in a state of great neglect and disorder. The piano, the books and some of the furniture had been eized and carted away to satisfy a debt and most of the rooms were bare and cheerless looking. Before night the industrious Netta had Uncle Jared so comfortable and well fed that he began to cheer up magically. "You are going to get well very fast," she declared the next morning. "Now I am going to clean house." It was when she had removed all the rubbish that littered the place, swept it into one room and dusted and put in order the rest of the house, that she told Uncle Jared that he must look over the mass of papers and sort out what was of value. "You'll find nothing amounting to anything," he observed. "They've taken all the books, old coins and pictures that would sell. I'll go over the mess, though, to please you," but he soon got tired of sorting out the stuff. Then Netta took a hand. She came to the old man somewhat later with a legal looking document. "Uncle Jared," she said, "I found this amongst the rubbish. It is a deed, it seems. It tells about some land that you bought." "Well! Well!" exclaimed the old man, as he glanced at the document, "I had actually forgotten all about it. I remember now, I bought the land, some forty acres, from a friend who paid a large price for it thinking it was oil land. He spent a fortune sinking wells but never found any oil. I took it off his hands to help him out." A few days later Netta came to him again. "I've been thinking about that land, Uncle Jared," she said. "It is right over the state line. It must have some value. Why, it would make a nice little farm. You say there is a house on it. Why couldn't we make a living there?" "We!" repeated the old man. "You don't mean to say you'd bury yourself in that desolate spot?" "Uncle Jared," replied Netta, "I am help take care of you just as I will let me." going to. with later when Mr. long as you. themselves lo.

Before the week was out an operative company in the field made Mr. Bliss an offer of a fabulous amount for his forty acres. Uncle Jared did two things right away. The first was to purchase a lovely home in the village, the next to settle on his faithful little housekeeper one-half of his fortune. And then—a wedding. They called the new home "Heart's Delight," because it sheltered three loving spirits who had known adversity and appreciated the new dawning prosperity with humble, grateful souls. (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) FAITHFUL FOR MANY YEARS Great Clock in New York Courthouse Tower Has Given Time to Good and Bad Allike. High in a courthouse tower in the greatest of our cities, a clock has given the time to several generations of men. By day, black hands on a white face are visible down the streets and avenues that radiate from the triangular courthouse which uplifts the tower and its timekeeper. That bland face in the sky starts the newsboy on his rounds with his sheaf of penny papers, and keeps tab on the loiterer leaning against the railing far below, or half-slumbering on the steps. Girls of the department stores, scurrying to work, glance up at the early morning face and slacken pace when the day still gives them a portion of grace. Motormen, chained to their schedules and clanging their way through the choked traffic, speed up their laden compartments, under threat of those ongings. By night the tower is a pillar of light, and time to a fractional minute can be read for a half mile. With a fire in its belly, the clock throws its beams into the naughty world of midnight, speeding the tardy lover, rebuking the roisterer who staggers past its base as it circles toward the new day. And soon it signals the corner tavern that the gracious eve ning is ended, and time is for turning out of doors the befuddled cus tomer, mumbling in his cups. It seems to those who have lived in sight of this sure-footed and lofty witness, that it would conduct their journey to the end. But, of late, workmen have been tinkering with its stately process and have obscured it with their laths and timbers. From the ground clear to the summit of the tower has sprung a rude temporary structure of ladders and scaffolding which sprawls across the high red pillar in uneasy zigzag lines. The tangle of woodwork is as dense as a thicket, so that you can no longer read the face of time. All the unfailing witness is quite blotted out—Harper's Weekly. First Davy Safety Lamp. January 9, 1816, saw in the deeps of an English coal mine near Newcastle a little drama in which there were but two actors, the one a clergyman, the other a miner. The latter was busily picking out the coal by the light of a "steel-mill" when he saw approaching him a light. The miner knew the gassy nature of the pit and shouted, "Put out the light!" but no notice was taken even when prayers took the place of oaths. The newcomer was Rev. John Hodgson, rector of Jarrow, and he had in his hand the first Davy safety lamp, now safely housed in the Museum of Practical Geology in Jermyn street, London. Sir Humphrey Davy, when urged to patent it, replied: "It might undoubtedly enable me to put four horses in my carriage, but what could it avail me to have it said that Sir Humphrey drives his carriage and four bought at the expense of miners' lives?" Titled Bounders. Eva Tanguay, the actress, was congratulated at Jack's in New York upon her recent marriage. "It's a love match, too," said Miss Tanguay. "It's not the sort of match that our young heiresses make with title bounders. The average titled bounder, if he told the truth, would, when he proposed to a young heiress, make a speech like this: "Miss Golde—Lotta—I love you for your self alone." Danger. The proud father who tells his young hopeful that some day he may be president had better not let the boy find out that the president gets only three weeks' vacation. Bargains. Apropos of a railroad property that had been sold at a ruhously high price, a statistician said: "It takes two to make a bargain, but only one them gets it." AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS When Alonzo Steele died in Texas a year or two ago the last white man who fought in the battle of San Jacinto passed away, writes Frank Putnam. A few days ago W. P. Zuber, who, as a boy of sixteen, was with the Texas army at San Jacinto, but did not bear arms in the fight, died at his Texas home. He was on hospital duty during the fighting. He was the last survivor of all the white men present on that occasion, but it is not wholly clear that he was the last survivor. It is likely that honor belongs to an ancient darkey, believed to have been Sam Houston's body servant, who still lives in or near Houston. The old man's story is accepted by the oldest residents, sons, some of them, of men who fought at San Jacinto, and more familiar than any one else with the history of that afair. The passing of the last white survivor of San Jacinto directs attention to one of the most extraordinary pages of all history. San Jacinto ranks next after the battle of Saratoga and Gettysburg among the decisive battles fought on this continent. Saratoga proved the British could not subdue their revolting American colonists; Gettysburg determined the fate of the Confederacy; San Jacinto pushed the American rule southward from a vast region on the Pacific coast and from an inland region including all of Texas, with parts of New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and Wyoming. The battle of San Jacinto was in character unique. It was won with the bowie knife against odds of three to one; won by undisciplined plainsmen opposing Santa Anna's best drilled and best equipped regiments. It was the only battle in which the lesser army lured the greater into a position from which there was no escape for either except by death or victory. Houston, retreating before Santa Anna, led him into a region bounded by swamps and marshes on two sides, with a wide, deep bayon on another and a narrow bayon, branch of the first, on the fourth side. Houston backed into his position and Santa Anna followed. 'Then Houston burned the bridge across the narrow bayon, the only entrance or exit of the theater of battle. A whirlwind campaign was carried on by the colored people of Philadelphia to raise enough of the money pledged last year toward a colored Y. M. C. A. to make the $15,000 originally asked of them. It was announced at a meeting of the board of directors of the Y. M. C. A. that the choice of location had narrowed down to two lots, on both of which they have options. The money for the lot is already in bank, and when a decision is made it will be bought at once. An architect accompanied a special committee to Indianapolis to study the new colored Y. M. C. A. that has recently been erected there and is considered one of the most complete in the country. It is expected the building will be well under way early in the summer. The building will contain a gymnasium, swimming pool, etc. It will have educational features and be a social center for the colored men of the city. It will also provide a hotel for the better class of colored people who are passing through the city and now have no accommodations. Of the 2,273,000 illiterates 617,000 are native whites, including both those of native, foreign and mixed parentage; 879,000 are negroes and 738,000 are immigrants. There are interesting and encouraging points with regard to the two latter classes. The negro illiterates seem to be a large number. But it represents a decrease of 157,999 during the decade, while the total of that population shows an increase of 398,000. The illiterate negroes are almost wholly located in the south, where they are not permitted to vote and are decreasing there. In 1894 the total forest area of Switzerland was 2,091,000 acres, representing 20.2 per cent of the total surface area of the country. In 1911 the forest acreage was 2,258,000, equal to 21.86 per cent of the total area of the country, an increase of 167,000 acres. Instead of being an expense, the foresta of Switzerland are a source of profit to the government. Most of the widows of Paris are remarried within 18 months of their first bereavement. The colored men's branch of the Y. M. C. A. of Indianapolis closed its observance of health week. The state exhibit placed in the lobby of the Y. M. C. A. was studied by hundreds of persons. A special lecture was given each evening in the auditorium of the building, to which the public was invited. A large number heard Dr. I. N. Hurty deliver an illustrated lecture. Doctor Atkins and Dr. L. A. Lewis lectured Friday evening to men only. A man is, indeed, ignorant if he is ignorant of his own ignorance. You Are *Part of Influence*. "We are, all of us, whether young or old, famous or obscure, women of influence. We cannot live a day without affecting the world somewhat for good or ill, whether we will or not. "We are all a part of its forces, whether we know it or not. Be as humble as you like, you are still a person of influence, if not by your own choosing, then often by God's decree. It may be only a smile or a simple kindness that you have given to a little child, but it starts agencies you lit- After a careful investigation of the facts, I am convinced that every day in the year there are as many as 200,000 people of my race who are sick enough to be incapacitated for work, writes Booker T. Washington. Other persons have estimated the number of negroes who are sick all the time to be as high as 450,000. If these figures are correct, it means that on the average every member of my race spends annually 18 days in bed, in the hospital, suffering pain or recuperating from sickness that might be spent in some form of wholesome enjoyment or in useful and efficient labor. It is safe to say, on the same basis, that every day in the year there are 112,000 negro workers idle, as result of sickness, who would otherwise be at work in some form of useful employment. This is a great loss not only to the negro, but it is a great loss to the country. It has been estimated that in the south alone there is a net loss to the negro in earnings and to the community as a whole in productive labor of $40,000,000 a year. "This immense loss is not due to the physical weakness of the negro race. I have frequently heard it said that the negro, as he lived in Africa, was more vigorous and more robust than any other race on earth. He had to be so to stand the climate. Even today one will seldom find among any race of people finer specimens of physical manhood than the sturdy, unspoiled people of the negro race in the country districts of the south. These people are an asset to the country and to the south, and it seems to me that it is the duty of every patriotic citizen to do what he can to conserve the life and health of this portion of the population in the condition in which it now is. Boston people who are deeply interested in the work that Dr. Bookeer T. Washington is doing at Tuskegee turned out in numbers to hear him at Trinity church, where he told the story of Tuskegee's progress during the last year. Dr. Washington has just come from the south on his annual visit to Boston. Owing to the generosity of thousands of Tuskegee's friends Dr. Washington has been able to give more of his time to the administrative work of the institution year after year. One of the great problems now is that of training specialists in varied lines of southern work, particularly those of education and agriculture. Just before Dr. Washington left Tuskegee 26 county superintendents of education from various counties in Alabama spent a part of two days at Tuskegee with the idea of getting information and plans for their work among the colored children. The influence which Tuskegee is exerting as a strictly educational force is rightly gratifying to the trustees. Furthermore, Tuskegee cannot begin to supply the demand for farm leaders. The boll weevil has convinced the southern planters that they must take up diversified farming in order to make their lands pay. Bankers and merchants are also vitally interested in the training of these agriculturists and many prizes are being offered. Dr. Washington told his Boston audience about the greatest year the institution ever had and the possibilities of splendid advances in the near future. Many a man punctures his tire on the road to wealth. The United Layman's evangelistic campaign was one of the largest religious efforts that has been attempted by the colored people of Indianapolis. Rev. S. L. Howard of Nashville, Teen. conducted the meetings. Special meetings for boys were held several afternoons during the week. The series of meetings closed with a united church service under the direction of the Interdenominational Ministers' association, Sunday evening, March 1. The state of Hyderabad, located about midway between Madras and Bombay, in the south central part of India, with a population of about 13,500,000 (about equal to that of New York and Massachusetts combined), and with an area of $23,987 square miles (just about the same area as Kansas), is generally speaking, the most important native state in India in population, wealth and potential resources. Co-operative stores, owned and managed by natives, are fostered wherever possible in Alaska by the United States bureau of education, which has charge of education for the natives of Alaska. Theodore Harris, colored, whose funeral was held at Camden, N. J., recently, was one hundred and eleven years old when he died, according to war department records. He was born on the eastern shore of Maryland. February 13, 1803. Harris was a veteran of the Civil war and received a pension. In Greece the minister of education has opened negotiations for the installation of 4,000 natural color moving picture machines, with supplies of films, for use in the state schools. the dream of; or it may be some selfishness and lack of honor, some weakness in you that sets in motion a long process of change in places or circumstances. For all life is endangered, and whether you wish it or not your life affects other lives."—Woman's Home Companion. Truth About It. Many a man who is credited with being wise enough to keep silent, is really growing deaf—but won't acknowledge it. TO GET PERFECT CHOCOLATE One Way Recommended Is to Mix It With Sugar Before Cooking—When Cocoa Is Used. If you have difficulty in cooking chocolate with any liquid so that it is smooth and without lumps, try always mixing the chocolate with sugar before cooking it. For hot chocolate, for instance, shave the chocolate, melt it, add sugar, let the sugar melt and then add milk and water. For chocolate sauce for puddings and ice cream melt the chocolate—in a double boiler, of course, so that it will not burn—add sugar, melt that, and then add the water. One recipe for this sort of sauce says to melt the sugar in the water and to boil them together for ten minutes, then to add them to the melted chocolate. But it is better to melt the chocolate, add half the sugar, boil the rest of the sugar with the water for ten minutes, and then add this syrup to the sugar and chocolate. The sauce made in the first way is smooth if you use great care in mixing the syrup and the chocolate. Made in the second way it is practically sure to be smooth. In many cases cocoa can be substituted for chocolate in cooking. In blan mange, for instance, cocoa can be used. So can it be used for cake filling and for chocolate sauce. When it can be used it can be more easily mixed with other ingredients than chocolate, for it is part sugar. RECIPE FOR PLANKED STEAK Served With Duchess Potatoes It is an ideal Dish for Dinner or Luncheon. Wipe, remove superfluous fat and parboil seven minutes a porterhouse or crosscut of the rump steak, cut one and three-fourths inches thick. Butter a plank and arrange a border of duchess potatoes close to edge, using a pastry bag and rose tube. Remove steak to plank, put in a hot oven and bake until steak is cooked and potatoes are browned. Sprad steak with butter, sprinkle with salt, pepper and finely chopped parsley. Garnish top of steak with saute mushroom caps and put around steak at equal distances halves of small tomatoes saute in butter, and on top of each tomato a circular slice of cucumber. You can use potato balls, small onions, peas and carrots diced as a garnish. Duchess Potatoes—To two cups hot riced potatoes add two tablespoons of butter, one-half teaspoon salt and yolks of three eggs slightly beaten. Shape, using pastry bag and bag. Brush over with beaten egg diluted with one teaspoon water. Braised Beef and Carrots Braised Beer and Carrots. Select a nice piece of brisket or shoulder and have the butcher cut it into suitable pieces for serving, rejecting superfluous fat. Heat a little dripping or bacon fat in a kettle, toss in the meat and sear it quickly on all sides, than let it simmer until all the juices that have been liberated at first are absorbed again. Now see that the meat is actually browning, but do not let it scorch. Season with a grated onion, salt and pepper, then pour on enough hot water to make a nice brown gravy, almost covering the meat. Cover and let simmer about two hours, then add scraped carrots, sliced lengthwise, laying them on top. In about an hour everything should be tender. However, this depends somewhat on the age of the beef. When serving take up the carrots and place in center of plate, thicken gravy with a little dissolved flour, boll smooth, then pour around carrots. French Grilled Oysters Procure large, fat oysters, the creamy looking kind. Drain and wipe on a soft cloth. Dust with salt and pepper. Have some melted butter in a large frying pan, drop in the oysters and fry briskly for a moment or so, simply to stiffen the oysters on each side, then quickly arange in a fine wire oyster broiler, and broil a light brown on both sides over a moderate fire. Place them on buttered toast, moistening a little with some of the heated liquor, then pour the butter from the frying pan over the oysters and serve with parsley and lemon quartered. Stuffed Onions. Stuffed onions give the paper bag enthusiast an opportunity to try a new dish. Parbell onions for 15 minutes. Drain and scoop out half the onion. Chop this and mix with sausage or ground meat (either raw or cooked). Season to taste and put back in the onion. Wrap each onion in tissue paper or a greased cookery bag and bake in a hot oven. Baste occasionally with hot water in which a little butter has been melted. Table Linen Note. Breakfast or luncheon cloths are now embroidered in colors to match the china used. Some of the gaily flowered sets in use at present suggest an appropriate embroidery design, while the china is an easy model for the woman who can do her own stamping. For Burnt Pans. To clean cooking utensils save your eggshells, and when you burn anything in your granite pans or anything sticks badly, use the eggshells to scour the pans. Take a bunch of shells and rub over the burned part and see how quickly all trace of burned food is removed. Model: Concept Stickhead making sure they are busy. Five times the orange wood stick to the side of the washstand by a cord. Children are less likely to forget when the "cleaner" is handy, and the nails also clean more easily when the hands are moist. Orange Sauce Cook one-half cup sugar with one tablespoonful rice flour and cup water; and one teaspoonful lemon juice. one-fourth cup orange juice and grated rind of one orange. 九京 奉 Copyright Underwood & Underwood TEMPLE GARDEN, KYOTO YOTO has long withstood the temptation of foreign architecture to mar or beautify or modernize. In Tokio these new buildings have gradually grown up, and the feudal gates and walls have long since disappeared. It is only as we are shut up in our new rubber tired, steel wheeled, coupe-like jinriksha that we fall to dreaming that we are once more being pulled in and out the old gateways into the outer closures of the palace. In those days the great spaces incleded were used for parade or practice ground for the guards. Only a few foreign buildings were found there, writes Nellie Hall Clement in the Chicago Daily News. As we rode about we could see just how the dalmyo trains must have appeared in bygone days. Today there are, besides the great steel structure of the new central station, large office buildings of stone or brick, hotels, clubhouses, banks and, last but not least, the new Imperial theater. In this last mentioned beautiful place the only thing which reminded us that it was not in some European city was the attendance of Japanese young men and women at the stand at one side of the entrance where picture post cards of plays and players were on sale, and on the opposite side the flower hair pins and hair ornaments. A favorite writer on Japan, who has given us such delightful descriptions of travel here, says of "Old Kyoto": "The situation was wisely chosen in a beautiful plain crossed by the Kamogawa and circled by wooded mountains. Even so Florence lies in the Tuscan hill, but there comparison ceases, for the view from Yaami's or Murayama shows no Duoum, no Palazyo Vocchol, only a sea of low black, tiled roofs and here and there a mass of trees or a red temple, showing up, as LaFarge says, 'among the lesser houses.'" But today the fascination is broken and we see a new building, the Dalmaru department store, "showing up" above the trees and temples. We are glad, though, that the invader is such a fine structure. I remember the great surprise which waited us in one of the old Japanese stores of Kyoto in 1908. After doing temples, palaces and parks, we went to see where the beautiful Kyoto dolls are made. The building was small, low and rambling, but even so it was the headquarters for dolls. We were ushered into one storeroom where thousands of the white cotton "bunnies" covered shelves and tables. On our inquiring, our guide informed us these were for exporting to the United States for the eastern trade. But that invasion was under the low Japanese roofs. Dalmanu boasts of "electric cable cash carriers," foreign reception We are glad to get off by ourselves in the quiet tea and rest rooms and think things out. Did we really mind because up in the lunchroom a group of kindly country people stood about our table to see us eating with chopsticks? It was embarrassing when we could not succeed as well as we generally did just on account of our self-consciousness. What does all this mean to these country people who have come in to see the sights of the metropolis? We love their kindly friendly curiosity and courtesy. Yes, we are happy and contented in the new but more so that we have had our share of experience in the Japan of the old days. Growing Children and Study. As soon as a child begins to grow rapidly all intellectual exertion should be checked. Such is the theory, which Dr. C. Mercier, an English authority on children, expresses in an article in the London Lancet. Especially when there is any family tendency to nervous or mental disorder, rapidly growing children should be withdrawn from school altogether until the period of rapid growth is over. Paris Plana Monument President Polincare received a delegation proposing to erect by 1920 a monument commemorative of the Bittithe year of the third French republic, which would be a companion piece to the Arc de Triomphe. It is proposed to erect the monument in the Place de La Defense. The design represents a Latin cross the four arms of which will form a terrace. Kind of Man He Likes. The best citizen we have in town, to my notion, is a fellow who comes around every week and pats me on the back and says: "Deacon, that room in green and white, two Japanese reception rooms, a room for entertainments with band stand at one end and a stage at the other, photograph studio, roof garden, and a children's playroom with latest good-time appliances from a Chicago house. Last but not least is a lunchroom, where tea, coffee or chocolate and foreign cakes are served, or, if you prefer, the daintiest of Japanese lunches. It will not be long before we will only have dreams of the days when it took many hours for shopping. We went to the somber looking black buildings, entered amid the profound bows of the clerks sitting on the floor by their "hibachi" Tea was brought in, and finally, when we had made known our wants, owed the messenger boys to the storehouse and in course of time returned with goods from which our selection could be made. No one ever complained; however often he had to tret back and forth. To be in haste on our side would mean we were not the women of leisure who frequented such stores. As for the clerks, that was-what they were there for! When finally the purchases were made the clerk clapped his hands to call the attendant to bring writing box and paper. The ink was deliberately made "while we waited," our bill properly made out and stamped with the various seals, the goods partially done up (for no woman went shopping without her "bundle handkerchief" in those old days) and we took our departure with bows and "thank you" from the whole staff. Getting Used to It. We are very glad of all these new and facilitating arrangements for shopping, because we are learning to "hustle" in the East. We are trying to adjust our senses gracefully to the present, dodging the automobiles on our way, having our boots covered by overcloth shoes or slippers at the door, trading at counters, having our purchases registered on cash recorders, being jostled and pushed (politely) at the special sale tables and hearing telephone bells on this side and that. We are glad to get off by ourselves in the quiet tea and rest rooms and think things out. Did we really mind because up in the lunchroom a group of kindly country people stood about our table to see us eating with chopsticks? It was embarrassing when we could not succeed as well as we generally did just on account of our self-consciousness.

Some of these days some brave Masons are going to get together and rewrite the major ceremonies and not only to deter them but to bring them into touch with modern spirit. Each ceremony appears to have been written without regard for any other and the higher the rank of the degree, the longer and more tedious the ceremony, and positively tiresome, especially as they are usually carried out. There was a time when ceremonies were a time taken to the public but the time has passed. What formerly interested them now borens them and the demand for norms and laws perhaps it would be better to carry out all the ceremonies in private, without the demand for norms and laws sincerity in our grief and eliminating the physical endurance features of our public appearances.

W, Hurse preach on “Hell,” and among his audience wns about 100 hundred prominent whic people who came in a body, Dr. Hurse preached one of tis characteristic sermons and proved conclusively to his hearers that hell was a good place to stay away from, The collection was nearly $100, = ‘The local daily press reports that six white men lured a woman into a room and criminally mistreated her this week, No colored man could in any way be connected with the dread- ful affair, so the attention of the pub- lic was recalled by the reminiscent reporters to an offense committed by “two black brutes” several years azo. A Nesro is sure to be connected up in every rape offense even if he must be found in bis grave. There is one respect in wilich the Negro is not “getting more like the white folks every day”. Tie does not stand with his own people hke the “white folks” do. He easily takes cn the weaknesses of his fair criterion, but he spurns his virtues, In this way the race is bound to lose more sub- stantial ground than it gains. ‘The few examples of brave, loyal manhood and patriotie womanhood make a sor- ry showing in contrast to taat great sullen, indifferent throng which, hay- ing eyes, sees not; having ears, hear not, On last Tuesday the Parent-Teach: ers’ Associations of all the Colored schools in Kansas City were organized into a Federation at the School Board rooms by Mrs. L.

Father and Son, Because the Latter Tried to Protect His Aged Parents —Let Us All Help Financially, Colorado State Penitentiary. Hon. N. ©. Crews, Dear Sir; [am enclosing herewith a copy of a dects: fon handed down by the supreme court of Colorado in regard to my case, which was hastily tried in district court of Otero county at La Junta, Colo. in July, 1911, where I was In- etantly convicted and sentenced to death and my aged father, a man of near 8 years, was also convicted us an accomplice and sentenced from 80 to 50 years at hand labor in state pen- itentiary, I was sentenced to deat for protecting my aged father and mother, in their own home, and my life at the cost of the lives of the two ‘brutal, imhuman, prejudiced, Negro- ‘hating, Iawless policemen who were assaulting my mother and father, and seeking to murder me, But after being dented a new trial by the judge trying my case, my at- torney, ExJudge Lyman 1, Henry of Pueblo, Colo,, assisted by W. B, Town- send, attorney-atlaw of Denver, Colo., ‘aided at great expense by good citl: zens of both races and members of my lodge, the R. T. Coles lodge, No. 86, A. F. and A. M., Kansas City, Mo, and my father's, Prudent lodge, No. 6 A. F, and A. M., Kansas City, Kas. I succeeded in getting our case to the supreme court, which readily reversed the judgment of the lower court, and granted me a new trial which wil soen come. Now, dear sir, the fight has jus commenced as the prejudiced class In that community are determined that the sentence imposed on my fathel and myself ‘be carried out, and they will use every means in their power to gain their hellish ends, and tc thwart all in their desire to see me get justice. I appeal to you for finan ‘cial aid, if you can assist me in any way through the columns of your pa per, or otherwise, to meet the finan cial demands involved, it will be great ly appreciated, My reason for sendin you a copy of the supreme court's de cision and comments, is for you to se clearly it was not an act trying or at tempting to defy the law in any way but one of protecting my parents an my life. I again beg to state that Jam a worthy member of R. T. Cole | lodge, No. 86, Kansas City, Mo., an my father, Joseph Harris, of Pruden | lodge, No 6, Kansas City, Kas., beins a 32 degree man and a 33 degree gen |tleman. So I appeal to you most ea: nestly, that you may do for us wha J you can, You may refer to your re spective lodges as to our standing | Should you feel disposed to aid u: |forward same to my mother, Mrs Clara Harris, No, 1319 River streel | Canon City, Colo., as she is strivin to gain us justice and every one look | to her to be paid for any expense ir | curred in helping father and me.

FUNERAL OF EMMA SMITH. FUNERAL OF EMMA SMITH. The funeral services of Miss Emma Smith for many years with the Blind Boone Concert Co., was held Sunday, at 10:00 o'clock from the Second Baptist Church and the order of services was as follows: Organ Voluntary, Miss Lulu Knox; Scripture Reading, Rev. W. C. Williams; Hymn, "Nearer My God to Thee," Choir; Prayer, Solo, Mrs. Caddle Witcher; Sermon, Rev. S. E. Bacote; Solo, Mrs. Corrine Lester; Resolutions, Fannie J. Dawley Court No. 44; Resolutions, Clio Art Club; Hymn, "God Be With You." Choir. The Blind Boone Concert Co. was represented by A. O. Coffin and Miss Melissa Fuell. The body was enclosed in a beautiful white plush couch casket and was borne in a white hearse drawn by white horses with white trappings and the funeral was under the personal supervision of Mr. A. T. Moore and burial was in Highland Cemetery. The Clios attended in a body and acted as ushers and the flowers were the most beautiful seen in years, at a funeral. --- After rescuing a boy from a pond at Zurich, Switzerland, recently, a peculiar reason for doing so was given by another boy, ten years old, Hans Weber. "I should never have troubled about him, if he had not been wearing my skates," was the laconic protest of the boy, when complimented on the rescue, at the risk of his life, of the boy, who had fallen through the ice. Good Kindler. In some sections kindlings are very hard to secure, owing to a lack of timber of all kinds. An inexpensive kindler may be made as follows: Take to one pound of resin three ounces of tallow, and while still hot after melting mix with fine sawdust, straw or any inflammable material and mold in small pieces about one inch square. One pair will start a fire in the stove. Self-Confidence. Lack of self-confidence ever makes you fall back in the ranks, weak, helpless, despairing. It shuts from you the revelation of power that is born only of action. Feel in every fiber of your being, feel with the heat and glow of conviction that you have infinite possibilities you must yourself make realities, or you will do nothing truly great.-Herbert Knowles. "Under the lax American system of bringing up girls," says a Paris journal, "the American young man rarely wins the first kiss from the girl who is to be his bride." Maybe, but by Heck! that is not so bad as the Gallic discomfort of never knowing who has won the last kiss from the "madame."—Louisville, Courier Journal. Rather, Far-Fetched. A scientist, at least he styles himself "Dr.," has been suggesting that young people and children may be cured of bad habits when in a hypnotic sleep. He has a long, long time to wait till parents, or teachers, either, will approve of hypnotic influences being used upon the young. As a Last Resort "Should a girl propose to a bashful suitor?" "Not until she has tried everything else. Ask him if he is going to invite you to his wedding. That usually starts something." German Use of Potatoes German Use of Potatoes. Potatoes are dried in slices, chips and flakes in Germany for feeding to cattle, swine and sheep and hundreds of thousands of tons are consumed in that way. Mrs. Mary D.

I want you to please send by mail 3 bottles of shampoo, 3 boxes of hair grower and 2 boxes of pressing oil. I like the remedy just fine; I would not be without it for anything. I am using it on my little girl's hair; it seems to be helping it greatly. MRS. ANNA BRUNER. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 20, 1913. Dear Madam Dabney: I am a mother of four girls. In trying to improve their hair I had tried several preparations, but none gave me good results until I used Madam Dabney's X7th Century Preparations. Their hair was thin, harsh and would fall out so that I dreaded to use a comb. Now their hair is growing nicely—does not fall out—has no dandruff—is soft and pretty. Three of these girls are attending Wendell Phillips School, Howard and Vine streets. Investigation will bear out my testimony. I would not be without the X7th Century Preparation in my house.

Chapman) ‘Stat, it was a summary of the long ‘column that followed, and merely stat- ed that Prince Leopold, of a certain Balkan state, the identity of which I shall conceal under the name of ‘Transylvania, was to be crowned king ‘on the following Monday. “You have followed the events which Jed up to this, of course,” said my ‘companion. “Not with much interest,” I an- swered. “Weil,” sald Nikolai, “I will explain them to you. As you are doubtless aware, Transylvania has played a long and unhappy role as champion of the eastern Christians against the Turks. Alter five centuries of subjection, she achieved her independence in 1878. A prince from the native stock was chos- en to rule the people. Unfortunately their many wars and insurrections had unsettled their habits and six months ago, his son was driven from the throne and a republic established. ‘This proved disagreeable to Rus- sia and Austria, A threat of war, which followed, induced the parlia- ment to submit'to the appointment of a new prince, Leopold, a scion of a petty German state. As a salve to his subjects, who hate him vehemently, he is to be made a king, and he arrived in Chesicaf, the capital, yesterday eve- ning, for the first time tn his life, On ‘Monday he will be crowned in the cathedral with some little ceremony and strongly guarded, for riots are feared, and, if the mob gets hold of ‘him, his life will be endangered.” “What is your scheme?” | asked. Nikolai took up the paper and read aloud: “*The new crown, with the orb, scoptre, and complete royal regalia, thas arrived from Paris at the king's residence in Cheskaf, where yntil the coronation they will be displayed each day to his majesty’s future subjects.’ You are not going to steal the crown?" I cried. “Tam going to take the next train to Cheskaf and have a look at it.” Nikolai replied enigratically. “Are you going to accompany me?" ‘That evening we were speeding over ‘he vast Hungarian plains, At noon next day our train steamed into Ches- kat station, We engaged apartments at the best hotel aud, that same after. noon followed the multitudes into the pelace, to the room where the regalia ‘were oa exhibition, Here we encountered our first dis- appointment, for the statement con- cerning the orb and scepter proved incorrect. ‘There was nelther, There was however, a magnificent crown, fresh from the Paris jeweler's, stud- ded with pearls, diamonds, rubies, and sapphires; its value, Nickolal whis- pered to me, must have been close up- on a million and a half in American dollars, Beside it lay a few of the iking’s decorations, but of trivial value, “The crown alone is worth the at- tempt,” said Nikolai, planting himself in front of it until moved on by the sentries. There were at least a doz- en of these Germans, from Leopold's own principality, and they formed the butt of much Jesting and scurrilous re- marks among the native visitors, who evidently bore them no good will. ‘The crown was placed within a case of strong plate glass. Around this ran an tron railing, and the whole was enclosed in a network of tough, ex- ceedingingly fine steel wire. Even had the sontries been absent it would have been dificult enough to get at our booty. Nikolai admitted defeat when we had returned to our hotel. “Then for heaven's sake let us re- ‘curn to Vienna,” I exclaimed. “The ‘thing, as you say, 1s impossible.” “At least we'll see the coronation,” Nikolai answered. “Who knows but that I may yet become a king. I have tong wished to be. Once I nearly was, but that—" He paused. “Did you ascertain which was his majesty’s apartment?” he asked. He laughed when I replied curtly. “1 did,” he said. “I gathered its lo- eality from some remarks let fall by one of the Transylvania chamber. ‘lains, who was abusing the German sentries. Transylvania Is almost iden- ‘tical with French; Rome was the par- ent of either tongue, The apartment overlooks the inner courtyard, so that to reach it one must pass through ‘the palace.

I hate to deal with women; they're apt to ‘scream. Besides, one cannot well break into a princess’ apartment—at least, not if one ts a gentleman.

Don't you think we should be much alike if I had a square red beard like our beloved Leopold?” T glanced at the portrait, There was indeed, a resemblance; had Nikolai a beard it would have been striking. “And nobody knows him,” sald Nik- olal, chuckling. He slapped his thigh, as was his habit In moments of excite: ‘ment. “Summers,” he said, “I am go- ing to be crowned tomorrow. And wo shall dispose of Leopold, for the nonce, in the cistern at the back of his bed: room. Yes, I looked over the ground | last night after I left you.

And now I knew that nothing 1 could Bay or do would | restrain my companion from his prank. | So I fell in with tt perforee. “Now here's the plan, Summers,” he said, when he had gained my reluc- tant’ acquiescence. “At the palace I have already established my status as a detective, sent by the king of Hoch Darmstadt, who is Leopold's brother, to look after bis interests.

So I have arranged to take up my station tonight, with my conf dential assistant, at his bedroom door, while, in an ante-room, there will be stationed six Transylvanian officers and six of his Germans, whose mutual hatred may be reckoned on to prevent "any conspiracy against him and, incl dentally, to divert attention from us. Now then: “At 8 o'clock in the morning we enter to robe him—he won't trust his ‘own people for that, he's so afraid of poniard thrust. At 9 the heralds ar- rive at the palace with his coach, At 10 we reach the cathedral. At 11 the gorgeous, million-and-ahalf dollar crown is placed on Leopold's head. He throws off bis black robe, appears in all his glory, and marches down the | aisle behind his guards and gets into his coach, to drive back to the palace amid the cries of a mob thirsting for Leopold, bound and gagged, will be balancing himself on tip-toe in the cis- tern at the back to bis bedroom, to keep his head above the water. I shall march down the aisle with my crown on—but I shall not drive to the pal- ace, Overcome with terror, I shall ad- dress the mob, plead for my life, abdi- cate, and drive to the railroad station to take train for Vienna. They'll see that I get into the train. But in the excitement they won't be thinking of the crown. That will go into a-pocket which I have had specially construct: ed in the most voluminous portion of my royal robes, which were made for me in Vienna.” I gasped with amazement, The man detailed this scheme as though he were planning some simple detail of Dusiness, And the plan was perfect, down to every detail. None knew the king. Only the unexpected could pre- vent success. And Nikolai had planned it all in Vienna, before he even spoke to me of Transylvania! Let me here interpose to say that not even Nikolat’s mind could have {magined the denouement which frus trated him. Shortly before midnight we were installed in the prince's anteroom. Nikolal was in the complete attire which Leopold was to wear on the morrow, concealed beneath a long overcoat. In his pocket was the red beard. We found the six Germans and six Transylvanians scowling at one an other from opposite sides of the room Beyond, behind a closed door, Leopold was sleeping, dreaming of his king: ship. ‘The officers, who had been instruct ed as to our advent, saluted us briefly and would have pald no further atten tion to us, but Nikolai, who seemed to speak every language perfectly, a once launched into a panegyric | o!

"I am going to say a fen words to those fellows, for the sake of amity.” And, crossing the room, he address. ed the ‘Transylvanians in their own tongue. ‘Their astonishment was doundiess, ‘They thawed under his persuasive eloquence as he urged har mony between the factions. Thon he turned the screw again, and, having brought the two parties ‘to speaking terms, he sowed tho seeds of discord. Before another hour had passed, swords were rattling in thelr seabbards. And Nikolai was forgot: ton. Ho had effaced himself, and the ‘guards, morosely drunk, were passing the Ife one to another. Nikolat Iook ed at me. I looked at my watch; it was balf-past four. “Now!” he sald, and slipped into the King’s _bedchamber. ‘As I stood by the hdltopea door, uncertain whether or not to follow watching the brawlers, I heard the faintest groan from within. I hur rled in. The king lay in his sleeping robes, gagged, and writhing in Niko Iat's strong arms, but helpless. Niko lal pointed to the pocket of his over cont, from which the end of a cord protruded. In a moment I had trussed up Leopold and he lay helpless before us. “It you attempt to utter a sound, you die,” sald Nikolai sternly. “Other wise you shall not be injured. Sum- mers, you take his feet.” ‘Together we carried him through his bedroom to the bath-room, Beyond this lay an immense cistern, connecting with the roof, in which rainwater was stored. It was empty, all but for a few inches of muddy water, for pipes had been laid that summer to the new reservoir. We ascended the lad- der which led to it, carrying our bur den. We hoisted him with an effort and let him drop inside. ‘Then we stood and looked at him, He was not hurt, but his face was gray from terror. “The servants will find him this evening,” said Nikolai to me. “The palace will be empty through the day. And anyway, he can't ery.” Then a thought came into his head. “Listen! he whispered in German. “There 1s a conspiracy to have your life, We are your friends, Do you un- derstand?” The helpless king nodded. “1 am fulfilling your brother's tn- structions to watch over you. ‘The palace 1s in the hands of the revolu- Uonaries. If they discover you, your life will not be worth « moment's pur chase. At night we shall come for you and take you to safety. Now do you understand? I crave your ma Jesty's pardon.” He unbound and ungagged him. He kissed his hand, and we departed leaving the prince cowering there. “If I know human nature,” Nikola said, “he will not stir or ery. It would have been inhuman to have left him trussed and gagged.” ‘When we returned, the partisan were still quarreling. “And now,” said Nikolal, “I think | will go to bed.

I might attempt to gain en: trance to the cathedral, or proceed directly to the railway station. In any event, {f we missed each other, ‘wo were to meet at the same hotel which we had occupied in Vienna. I carried out my instructions. The tu- mult gradually abated as the guards sank into various stages of intoxt: cation; by seven o'clock the ontire twelve were stretched out upon the floor, sleeping off the effects of the champagne. T aroused Nikolai at elght. For a moment he did not realize where he ‘was; thon he sprang to his feet and smiled as he caught sight of the royal robes. “Can you get mo something to eat, Summers?” ho asked “Not if we have to depend upon the guards," I answered, and told bim of thelr condition. He laughed out loud But as if in answer to his demand, there came a knock at the door. I sprang forward and opened it a cou ple of inches, at tho same time inter posing my body. A little page stood there with a tray on which was a light repast. I took {t trom him and set it down on the. bed. As I dismissed him, I looked after him into the ante- room and saw him wake the guards. When I turned my head Nikolai and the tray had disappeared, I looked around in consternation. A moment later I heard him coming from the direction of the bathroom. “L gaye the food to that poor devil in the cistern,” he sald. “I told him that the palace is in the hands of the mob, but that they had given up the search for him and that relief will arrive by nightfall. Oh, he hasn't stirred, Summers. Now help me dress.” Five minutes later he was strug- gling into the royal robes. He cast the black coat around his shoulders. He affixed the square red beard. And he stood before me, a very falr coun- terfelt of the prines. ‘Then he strode to the door, opened It, and stood there, Squinting over his shoulder, I could barely restrain my laughter. ‘Twelve very haggard and disheveled figures struggled to thelr feet and sa- luted him. ‘They ‘were in no state to Getect the fraud that was being play- @d_upon them. ‘Then, from without, I heard a fan- fare upon horns. I hurried back to the bedroom and looked out. In the courtyard below, twelve heralds, in fantastic, mediaeval costumes, were drawn up, and, as I watched, 1 saw the blue and yellow coach, drawn by eight cream-colored ponies, swing over the stones. Following it, two by two, came mounted guards. I turned back. Nikolai stood tacing me. “Good-by, Summers,” he sald, grip ping my hand. “Or au revoir, rath erj, we meet in Vienna.” And he marched forward to meet his followers, the cloak east over bis arm, his plumed bat pulled well down, every inch as kingly as the man whose place he had taken A Century Ago. About one hundred years ago a pub- Mc reception and dinner were given tn New York city in honor of Commo- dore Oliver Hazard Perry, the hero of the battle of Lake Erie. This was put one of many similar honors be- stowed upon Commodore Perry in - recognition of the nation’s gratitude ‘ for his sigaal yictory over the Brit- fh in the great naval coullict at Put " fm-Bay Septomber 15, 1815, and as » commander of the ‘naval battalion in the battle of the Thames the follow. T heard tho footsteps of the attend: ants die away down tho corridor. Now 1 could go where T pleased, for there ‘was no mote order in the palace. Leo- pold’s recent arrival with his retinue, ‘his own attendants and those of his brother, had thoroughly upset all plans and arrangements, — Nobody knew who his nelghbor was, Guards and attendants in every possible cos- tume swung pell-mell into the court- yard, forming in a rabble around Ni kolal, their king. I saw him enter the coach and leave the palace. Follow- Ing {t, I found myself all at once in the middle of a jeering mob, not openly hostile, but wanting, I could see, only the stimulus of a leader to convert ‘them into a bloodthirsty horde. They thronged around the coach, which could proceed through the streets at a snail's pace only, thrusting — them- selves among the guards, who rode with drawn swords, catching at the horses’ manes, even insinuating their heads into the carriage windows and ‘hurling taunts at their new ruler, as they supposed Nikolai to be. And he played his part well. Forcing my way beside the coach, T saw him cow: er back as though in terror—he, who hnd never cowered before any man, At that moment I wished with all my heart that fortune had cast him for some better role than that of an im: postor and—even though he aimed at High stakes—a common thief. The prize, the magnificent crown of ‘Transylvania, with {ts rubies and dia- monds, seemed a strangely insignifi- ‘cant guerdon to be won at the expense of such emotions. ‘They conveyed him onward to the cathedral. At the doors, some order had been created. A regiment of ‘Transylvanian troops was drawn up, and, a8 Nikola! stepped from his ve- hicle and passed in, something like a cheer came from thelr throats. To the minds of these men he represented something of the ancient glories of their race. How he could have changed hostility into enthusiasm at such @ juncture, had he been set upon a throne and not on a crown! I forced my way into the cathedral. ‘was resolved to witness the drama to {ts conclusion. I elbowed aside all in my way. While men muttered and stared and jostled, I calmly made my way on until I found a place among the ranks of the nobility. ‘They made room for me perforce, and then, as the archbishop came forward, in mitre, with golden wand, the tumult died away. I saw Nikolai stand straight up be- fore him. He cast aside the sable cloak that covered him and flashed forth in all the magnificance of royal array. A sigh went up through the whole vast assemblage. This was their first king—thelr king, even though {n.posed upon them from with out. ‘Then, stooping, the archbishop raised something in his hands and, holding it aloft, placed it upon Niko lat's brow. It was a plain fron circlet! And suddenly I remembered, What fools we had both been, and how a little thing had defeated all ou: far-flung aims, The papers had saic that Leopold would be crowned. Yes but they had not stated with wha {ng month.

I saw Nikolai stride from the dais and advance down the aisle toward his coach at the door. I ‘Sprang to my feet and followed him, pushing my way over the bodies of the half prostrate multitude. I was five paces behind him at the door. It was flung open, and, as Nikolai ap- peared in the sunlight, a roar went up from a vast multitude without. But it was no roar of welcome—it was a clamor of death. They sprang for him, fighting back ‘his guards, who formed a solid circle around him. They beat them back, they clutched at him, they seized his ‘robe. The crown fell from his head. A courtier seized it before it touched the ground. Nikolai was at the car- riage door. They urged him in. But he hesitated, and, with bent shoul- ders and quavering knees he looked a king no more. And suddenly, with what seemed a supreme effort, raising his hands, he cried in accents tremu- lous with fear: “I abdicate my throne. Spare my life, good people of Cheskaf, and let me go home.” For one brief instant, overcome with astonishment, the mob was silent. Then hideous cries went up: “His life! His life! Death to the usurpert” But others answered them. “No! Let him go. To the railroad station! Take him to the railroad station!" ‘They sprang upon the box, they dragged at the wheels, they lashed the horses into a furious gallop. Run- ning at top speed, amid the cheering throng, I arrived at the terminal in time to see them drag Nikolai from the coach and hurry him to the train, A few of his attendants, seeing that his cause was hopeless, managed to form a flying wedge in front of him and to beat back the baser element among the mob. They thrust him into a carriage and stood guard before the door with swords drawn, while Niko lai, cowering within, bespattered with filth and mud, his long robes trailing upon the ground, hid his face in feigned humiliation and terror. Some- body brought up an engine. Some- body gave the signal for departure. His guards, stood with shame-bowed heads as the revolving wheels carried their broken idol trom the ken of ‘Transylvania forever. When I rejojned him in Vienna the papers teemed with conflicting stories of the emeute, Some sald that Leo pold had taken flight in fear; others spoke of an impostor, believed to be a lunatic, who had been found in Leo pold’s apartments in the palace that same evening, claiming to be the king. Some even said that the king’s en emies had contrived a plot. whereby ‘a tool of theirs was crowned in place of the real sovereign, tha abdicated in the streets to ruin his cause.

Quicksilver is used mainly, accord- ing to the United States Geological survey, in the manufacture of ful- minate for explosive caps, of drugs, of electric lighting and scientific ap- paratus and in the recovery of the precious metals, especially of gold, by amalgamation. An increasing demand has been reported in manufactures of electric appliances. An interesting and increasing use in Scotland is the floating of the lights of lighthouses upon a body of quicksilver. The metal {s not consumed, of course, and the Joss in use is insignificant. Concerning this Consul Fleming writes as follows: “Quicksilver 1s used for ‘floating’ the revolving lights in lighthouses. The commissioners of Northern Lighthouses, Edinburgh, have in their charge 90 lighthouses on the coast of Scotland. Up to the year 1900 the revolving lights were borne on rollers, The ‘float’ system has been gradually introduced, how- ever, and is now in operation at 30 coast stations and will be used at all others. The lUghting machinery rests ‘on @ pontoon which runs on quick- silver in a groove.

Baldness, if itisa sign of anything at all, is a sign of respectability. The conventional jest about the gayety of the baldheaded man has absolutely no foundation in fact, Occupants of front rows at the theaters and musical comedies are not at all remarkable for their baldness, whatever else their claim to distinction, One of the prominent papers in Lon- don made an extensive investigation to prove the truth of this statement. ‘The result was that the proportion of baldheaded men at the churches and universities and lecture hally in Lon- don was so enormously in advance of ‘tho baldheaded men at the theaters that there was no possible conclusion other than that baldness 1s really an indisputable concomitant of reapeo- | tability and that the jokes about bald heads and the front rows of theaters ‘aro merely traditional, ON nn OOD Shell of the Crab.

ACTION SHOULD BE GENERAL New York Post Heartily Indorses the City Planning Exhibition Being Held There. Especial interest attaches to the city planning exhibition from the fact that the probable ratification of the excess condemnation amendment will enlarge the possibilities before New York. Bx- cess condemnation has probably worked to best effect In Ohio, where Cincinnati and Toledo have entered upon large programs of city building; while Cleveland, as the current Survey records, has “undertaken the first mu- nictpal experiment in suburban plan- ning and housing,” through acquisition of large tracts of land to be divided and sold in building lots for working- men’s houses, In many other ways the exhibition, which we owe to George McAneny ‘and the Merchants’ associa- tion, should be highly stimulating. More than forty among the 200 Ameri- can cities participating, and 12 among the Canadian, have elty planning com- missions, while in Massachusetts, New Jersey and Pennsylvania helpful legis- Intion has been enacted.

Ho feels keenly the dimming of Brit- ish fame by the exploits of Amundsen and Peary. ‘With no more poles to conquer, he might well sit down and weep, like Alexander the Great. But Ynstead he has set himself this unique feat. ‘The news that Sir Ernest expects to come to the United States before leaving for the south seas has stirred great interest among Americans over plans for the exploring expedition. Sir ‘Brnest |s very popular here, where he has lectured extensively. It s probable that wealthy Amer- feans will add considerably to the funds of his ex- pedition. He started on his last expedition $100,000 in debt. It took him two years after his return. to pay off this debt and {t was hard work, too. This time he has resolved not to run into debt again. He has $260,000 guaranteed by a friend whose name has not been made public. ‘This sum he will make do if necessary, but he will be able to carry on scientific work much more extensively if he can obtain a further sum of $100,000, Sir Ernest has announced that he will experi- ment with aeroplane motors and propellers for travel over the snow this winter, his laboratories to be in Canada or Siberia. He hopes to perfect this novel substitute for the Eskimo dog, which he will also use, and the hardy Shetland pony. Besides aeroplanes and parts of aeroplanes, Shackleton will take advantage of wireless, the movies, prepared foods, and many other of the newest inventions. He believes he will have the most perfectly planned expedition that ever set out, and as he himself helped to equip many others expeditions ‘and has been a member of several, he ought to know. Sir Emest Shackleton is now in the prime of life, a splendid man physteally and possessing an inspiring presence. He is a born leader. He makes all about him enthusiastic, especially when the fire of memories of the frozen south moves him. Ho is forty years old—pictures taken of him on his antarctic trips before he has had a shave make him appear sixty-five, while in his street clothes on the Strand he appears a virile thirty. To the layman {t may be surprising to learn that there are 5,000,000 square miles of unknown terri- tory on the continent of Antarctica. This gives an {dea of the possibilities of discovery open to Sir Ernest. More than half his journey fs sald to be laid along a new route and, if things go right, al- most all of it will traverse virgin flelds. It 18 no overstatement to call it the biggest polar journey ever attempted. Briefly stated, {t will cross the dead continent of snow, mountain ranges, volcanoes and frightful storms from the side of the Western hemisphere to tho side of the Eastern hemisphere, ‘The main party will leave clvilization at Buenos Ayres and reach it again in Christchurch, or some bther New Zealand city. ‘The start will be from Argentina in October of this year, and if @ good landing 1s made on the shore of Weddell sea by the beginning of Novem- ber, @ shore party will proceed immediately ‘across. In this case the expedition should reach Ross sea, on the other side, by March, 1916, But if the shore party has hard luck, it will content itself with laying a series of caches and will then return to the Weddell sea shore, start- ing out again a year later ‘The expedition will have two ships. ‘The first, ‘which carries Shackleton to the Antarctic contt- nent, will do work {n tracing the shore of the con- tinent to the west, and will go back to South America before the close of navigation, return- ing the next year to take up 4 party which will winter on the shore of Weddell sea and carry out sclentific work in the so-called “Weddell quad- rant." Long sledge Journeys will be taken east ‘and west of the base by this party. ‘The second ship will approach the continent from the other, or Ross. wea, side, and take back Shackleton, according to his plans.

LBL CONVERIALLE WLIO AV IGLOO + Se Re ae crosses the first season, he will reach civilization again by the middle of April, 1915. Otherwise, it will be a year later. ‘This second vessel will sail from New Zealand about the same time as the Weddell sea ship sails south. On landing at a prearranged base, the second party will send a sledging expedition as far south as possible, to latitude 83, if practicable, but this expedition will return in time to go north again before the close of navigation. The expedt- tion will endeavor to lay a series of depots along what may be the last stages of Shackleton's route. But Shackleton will not depend on them in any way. They may not be lad at all. If Shackleton doesn't arrive this season, the second ship will return south the next year again, Five months 1s the time Shackleton estimates as necessary for his crossing of the south polar continent. He allows ten days for delays by bliz- zards. The minimum distance from sea to sea is, 1,700 miles, but it 1s probable that Sir Ernest will try to cover new ground throughout and so go much farther. The “transarctic party,” as Sir Ernest calls it, will begin {ts Journey with 120 dogs, two sledges driven by aeroplane propellers with aero- plane engines, and an, aeroplane with clipped wings to “tarr!” over the ice. But a large part of the work of transport will be by dogs. Dogs will eat their fellows’ flesh, while ponies will not. Motor sledges have been found to be practical- ly useless in the Antarctic, as the amount of work put on the engine when passing over varying sur- faces generally causes the motor to break down. Sir Ernest proposes to build an ordinary sledge, larger than the usual size, and on this to mount ‘an seroplane engine, with an aeroplane propeller in front. He figures that a sledge of this descrip- tion 1s capable of dragging a ton at five or six, miles an hour. Instead of one sleeping bag, each explorer will carry three, so that when one is iced up it can be discarded. The tents will be made of three-ply wood, strong enough to support a domeshaped covering of snow, thus insuring more warmth. ‘The full complement of the short party will be 12 men, and six of these will make the Journey across. Both of the ships will be fitted to burn oil tstead of coal, as the liquid fuel extends the radius of action and renders the vessels inde pendent of ballast, The ships, which will carry 80 men altogether, will be fully equipped with cages and tanks for bringing home live penguins ‘and seals, such as have never been taken from the antarctic regions. Bach ship will have a biologist, geologist and physicist, and the three from the first ship will ‘be stationed in her winter quarters in the Weddell gradually, 80 as not to depress exist: ing prices. It fs estimated that at Jeast 40,000 persons will be required to cultivate this reclaimed sea land, which will be used for the grow: ing of root crops, sugar beets, pots: toes, peas and other vegetables, “It 4s estimated," says La Gazette de Hol- land, “that the value of these crops will be nearly $30,000,000. The prea- ent Zuyder Zee fisheries employ 3,017 4 eae — el men and produce herrings, flounders, anchovies, smelts and shrimps to the value of $835,000 a year. The boats in use tn the Zuyder Zoo will be un- suitable for fishing in the North sea, and new boats will be supplied by the state to enable the fishermen to work that sea.” Spontaneous Generation Life's Origin. Dr. Charles Bastion brings forward fresh evidence intended to prove the spontaneous generation origin of life. From solutions of sodium silicate and ki sea. Another party of three will explore un- known tracts along the coast near the winter quarters, ‘The aeroplane with clipped wings will not be able to fly. Its wings will take practically all the weight off the wheels, Wireless and moving picture outfits will not be carried, it 1s expected, on the transcontinental trip. But one cinematograph machine will go with the party working from Ross sea and another with the party working about Weddell sea. These films will have both scientific and popular inter- est. Pocket wireless outfits having a range of from 100 to 200 miles will also be carried by these two expeditions, but the main party will not attempt the added welght of either device. While the North pole is situated about two miles beneath the sea, the South pole is on the plateau two miles above the sea. The conditions of journeys to the two points are widely different. In the North, within 500 mites “of the pole, in summer time, there are 100 different species of flowering plants. There are no flowering plants within 1,700 miles of the South pole, and within 700 miles of it there is no plant or animal life of any description whatever. In the North you may expect to get the arctic hare and the ptarmigan on the northermost land. ‘There are also bears and the life in the sea. On a trip to the North pole, the explorer sledges over a moving sea of ice that packs up and breaks up, and it is impossible to lay any depots. ‘The danger of northern sledge traveling is the break-up of the ice and the opening of what are called leads—open water channels left by the parting of the tee. In the South the difficulties are the varying na- ture of the snow surfaces, the fact that the tem. peratures are much lower and the danger of crevasses. In the North one can fall 10 to 20 feet Into the sea, but in the South one may fall 1,000 feet down a.crevasse. By this notable expedition, Sir Ernest hopes to cut In two one of the largest, if not the largest, white spaces yet remaining on the map. He ex- pects to solve the complete continental nature of the Antarctic, Especially scientists would lke to know whether the great range of mountains on the New Zealand side of the Antarctic continent really stretches all the way across and ts a con- tinuation of the Andes. This Victoria chain has been traced to the pole by Amundsen and other explorers. The solving of this problem is of in- tense Interest to geographers all over the world. ‘The discovery of the great mountain range, which is assumed to extend in a general way from the pole to Weddell sea, would be one of the biggest geographical triumps possible, The geological results will also be of the great- est scientific value. The Weddell sea party will take many specimens, and even the transconti- nental party will chip off pleces of all exposed rocks they find. Continuous magnetic observations will be taken all the way from Weddell sea to Ross sca, as the route will He not far from the magnetic pole. In- formation of great value to navigators would be jearned. Continuous scientific observations of the weath- er will algo be taken, and these should be very valuable when correlated with the results obtained by other expeditions. Biological work will be thoroughly carried on, and the distribution of fauna and flora will be studied. Both the ships will be equipped for dredg- ing and sounding. All branches of science will be most carefully attended to and the net result Saee But ant aod tergaesh, fon Geagtae et t and foremost, the crossing of the polar continent, will be the main object of the ‘expedition.

At the same time he fully recognizes that the actual steps of the spontaneous generation process re- ‘main to be discovered, ROMANCE IN RAIN Cupid Chose Wet Night for Work, but His Arrows Were None the Less Effective.

There is always room for a man of force, and he, in turn, makes room for many. Society is a troop of thinkers, and the best heads among them take the best places. A feeble man can see the farms that are fenced and tilled and the houses that are built. A strong man sees the possible houses and farms. His clear eye makes es tates as fast as the sun breeds clouds. -Emerson. First Use of Stage Money Stage money, that is, money of no value off the stage, is first said to have been used by David Garrick in the eighteenth century. The money is said to have been made by the wealthy actor-manager so as to look actually like real money. There was little money, even of this counterfeit kind, used in the days of Shakespeare, because of the scarcity of any kind of money, particularly among actors. Charlemagne's Talisman. Charlemagne's talisman is famous in history. It was of the fine gold, circular in shape and set with gems, with two sapphires and a fragment of the holy cross at the center. This charm was found attached to the neck of Charlemagne when his tomb was opened, and was presented to the great Napoleon, who in turn gave it to Hortense, ex-queen of Holland. Find Statue in Tree Trunk. Find Statue in Tree, Trunk. While cutting up a century-old fir tree on the Simplon (France) foresters found in the heart of the trunk a bronze statue of the Virgin Mary.

The Judge (to the accuser)—The lady whom you kissed agree her will is ready not to press for a conviction if you ask her pardon and express your regret. Accused (to the pretty prosecutrix)—Yes, I humbly ask your pardon, but as a truthful man I cannot honestly express my regret. For Cane Seats. When cane bottomed seats sag, sponge both sides of the cane with hot soapsuds in which a handful of salt has been dissolved, then stand the chair in the open air. Treated like this, the seats will become as firm as when new, shrinking into place. About of Equal Worth. The Son (proudly)—I am going to have my college diploma framed. Where would you advise me to hang it? The Father (grlmy)—Put it alongside that beautifully embossed mining stock certificate of mine—Puck. Cause of Pink Eyes. Albins have pink eyes, because in their case the cornea is absolutely free of all pigment as well as the iris, and as all is absolutely transparent the blood-vessels make their color shine through. Reflection on the Lawyer. Lawyer—I must know the whole truth before I can successfully defend you and establish your innocence. Have you told me everything? Prisoner—Except where I hid the money.
