Stitts, an International Bible Student who will soon appear before the public. Man is a living soul and God formed him of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man become a living soul. The word soul came from the Hebrew word "Nephesh," It signifies "sentient being," the Greek word "psuche" having the same meaning. Genesis 2:7; 1:20. Note the text, "Whosoever will have his life shall lose it, and he that loses his life for my sake shall save it." Mark 8:35 (Soul) (being) without the body and the breath there could not be a soul; the union of the breath of life or (spirit of life) and the body completed the living soul. To separate the body and spirit would reduce the condition of man to where he was before he was created. A great mistake has been made in thinking that soul and spirit are the same. The Hebrew word (rauch) spirit signifies animating power. The Greek word pneumo has the same meaning. "The wind bloweth where it listeth, thou can hear the sound thereof, but can not tell from whence it come or whish or it goeth." St. John 3:8. In this "BISHOP" L. H. JOHNSON, LL. D. Presiding Bishop of the Rocky Mountain Conference. Gospel age Christ is selecting a special class to reign with him. He is pouring his holy spirit on his servants and hand maidens. Acts 2-17, Joel 2-28. When Christ cometh the second time he will bind Satan for one thousand years so he will not deceive the Nations. Rev. 20-1-2-3. The Holy Spirit will be the means of reconciliation between God and the Sinner; "After those days I will pour my spirit upon all flesh." Acts 2-17, Joel 2-28. Satan has deceived the world ever since he crept into the garden of Eden when he told the first lie. Genesis 3-4. St. John 8-44. Why should we becloud ourselves with that unscriptural doctrine based on a misconception of eternal torment "Fear not him that can kill the body, but fear him who is able to destroy soul and body in hell." Matt. 10-26-28. Christ will bind Satan hand and foot and he will sit on the throne and judge the world. Rev. 20-4. "God has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness." Acts 17-31 "For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of God as the waters that cover the sea." Habak. 2-14. We know that sin has reigned for six thousand years, which is six great days of a thousand years each, but Christ will reign the seventh day and bless the world of mankind. Rev. 20:4-7. NOTE—In last week's translation of the word pirit it should have been three times instead of twenty. The Kansas City Sun REV. WM. H. THOMAS, D. D. The brilliant pastor of Allen Chapel, who has made an unequalled record in the four months he has been pastor of this great church. NIGHT SCHOOL CLOSING AT LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 23. It was refreshing to hear the entertaining program of the pupils of the Night School. It was inspiring to see these fullgrown people receive certificates attesting their proficiency in certain lines of effort. Mrs. Laura McDonald and Miss Margaret Buford received certificates for their three years' work in catering. Mr. E. Davis Bennett, Mrs. Rosa L. Countee and Miss Hazel McFadden were awarded certificates for the successful completion of the intermediate course in bookkeeping. Space will permit but to mention the display in Manual Training, Sewing, Rafia, Shorthand, Bookkeeping, Typewriting, Cooking and the common branches done by these grown people at night. These and more extensive courses will be open to the grownups of Kansas City nextx year free of an attendance of sixty days is registered. Possibly the most attractive department will be the course of "Discussion of Topics of the Day," based on the Literary Digest. It may be that the brilliant Professor Grisham can be prevailed upon to conduct this course. It is the earnest desire of the school authorities that this splendidly appointed building be a light house reflecting its brilliance in every Negro home. R. F. QUINN who is forming commercial clubs, will give an entertainment at the Second Baptist Church, Tenth and Charlotte streets, Refreshments to the church beginning promptly at 1 p.m. the church beginning promptly at 2 p.m., April 24.

In a company doing business in every state in the Union composed of some of the best writers the country affords, the printed records sent to all parts of the United States on new business last February gave E. A. Robinson first place in Missouri and third place in the entire country. Robinson's special agency commission giving him permission to use his own trained assistants under his immediate superintendency....Mr. G. F. Porter is director of Kansas and Missouri divisions of the Standard Life Insurance Company. Mr. Robinson's commission granted him by Mr. Herman E. Perry, president of the Standard Life under the supervision of G. G. Porter is a distinct recognition of local merit. Mr. Robinson's entire force consists of Kansas City boys. The selection of Robinson by Mr. Perry and Mr. Porter is a chance given to home talent rewarding where reward is due and inspires hope and confidence. NOTICE The Benefit Dance for the Hod Carriers' Hall was a great success. It was largely attended by the best Color-ored people of Kansas City. Everyone was well pleased with the excellent string music and the famous Crosthwaft punch. Something over $40 was realized which will be used in beautifying and enlarging the ladies' dressing room of this splendid hall. This was the first of a series of entertainments planned by Dr. Theo.

Claybrooks, died very suddenly Thursday night at 9 p. m. at Mrs. Witney's, on Pacific near Tracy, after a few moments' illness. She had started to visit a neighbor when she was suddenly stricken at Fifth and Tracy and was assisted by passersby to the house of Mrs. Witney, where she died before medical attention could be given her. She was a member of Centennial M. E. church and the Court of Calanthe and S. M. T. Funeral will be Sunday, March 29. REV. W. SAMPSON BROOKS, D. D. Pastor of St. Paul's Chapel, St. Louis, Mo., and the undisputed financial King of the race, whose magnificent achievement in raising $14,500 cash in one rally at his church last summer stands unsurpassed in Negro church history. Orator, scholar and traveler, who has preached from Mars Hill, who has dipped up water from the River Jordan, who has stood on the spot where Paul made his famous address before Agrippa and who has stood uncovered on the mountain where our Blessed Savior was crucified. His book of "What a Blake Man Saw in a White Man's Country," is one of the most interesting contributions to race literature of the century. Every Negro, man, woman and child in greater Kansas City, should hear him Moonday night, March 30th, at Allen Chapel at 8:30 p.m., under the auspices of the Nine Mock Conferences of the Church. CENTENNIAL M. E. CHURCH. A lively week closes conference year at Centennial M. E. church.... The Annual Bazaar and a splendid reception to Rev. Richard Davis, pastor and wife. Church literally jammed .... The Ladies' Aid, sponsor for the brilliant close. A lively week indeed marked the close of the conference year at Centennial Methodist Episcopal church, 19th and Woodland avenue. The Annual Bazaar, consisting of three nights entertainment, proved a delightful affair and a profitable one as well, the ladies clearing $68.62. The reception to the pastor, Rev. Richard Davis and his wife, may truthfully be characterized as overwhelming. At least 500 persons crowded the seating capacity of the Auditorium to the extent that additional chairs had to be brought in. A splendid program was rendered and the dainties of the season were served. The church was beautifully decorated. The color scheme was pink and white. Dr. Davis closed six years of successful service and these 500 guests, consisting of members and friends from practically every denomination in this city, were out, not to bid him goodby, but to bid him, if possible, to return. Just 742 additions have been made to the membership during his pastorate, bringing the present membership up to 880. In the year just closed 168 persons joined the church, and without any attempt at a rally $3,700 was raised. The trustees are now planning an Anniversary for the latter part of April, to celebrate the 34th year of the organization of the church in Kansas City in connection with which the first big rally in two years will be carried out. The Ladies' Aid Society, composed of some of the most talented ladies of Centennial's membership, was sponsor for the brilliant fetes which marked the close of the conference year. Rev. Davis and wife left for Fulton Tuesday morning, to attend the annual conference. Two features full of touching sentiment in connection with Monday night's reception was the presentation of flowers to Rev. Davis by five small Sunday School children, each of whom recited appropriate verses, and the presentation of $10 by the Ladies' Aid Societies to Rev. A. J. Williams of Clarks Chapel Mission, 17th and Madison avenue. "BISHOP" GEO. W. TEETERS, D. D. Presiding Bishop of the Turncoat Conference. Everybody is invited to hear the brilliant lecture by Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, D. D., of St. Louis, Mo., on "What a Black Man Saw in a White Man's Country." Monday night, March 30th at 8:30 p. m. Admission 25 cents. Under the auspices of the Nine Bishops of the Nine Mock Conferences, for the benefit of their great financial rally now going on. P. H. REV. E. S. WILLETT. Rector of St. Augustine's P. E Church, who will deliver the Annual Sermon to the K. of P. and O. O. C. Rev. E. S. Willett, who is to preach the annual sermon for the K. of P. on Sunday afternoon is a Pythian of high rank. He is a Past Chancellor, a ember of the Uniform Rank and Chaplain of the Second Regiment of Missouri. He is a preacher of extraordinary ability, being an eloquent and convincing speaker of magnetic temperament. Father Willett, as he is called by all who know him, is an Episcopalian of the Catholic type, but very popular among ministers of all denominations, because of his broad sympathy and appreciation of all Christian people. He is a strong race man and is identified with almost every movement in the community for the improvement of conditions among our people. He is a Mason of high degree and a member of Ideal Lodge No. 70. Father Willett enjoys an unusual degree of reverence and respect from all classes of men in the two Kansas Cities and is pre-eminently strong among the young people and children. In his own denomination he is recognized as one of their ablest clergymen and holds the confidence of a dozen or more of the most prominent Episcopal Bishops. Strong and self confident he is modest and unobtrusive; sympathetic, tender and intensely religious. He is the pastor of St. Aug. ustine's P. E. Church and during his seven years of leadership has made its influence to be felt in this community as it never had been before. He is a man of the people who live for the people and is appreciated by the people. I want to personally thank Prof. G. N. Grisham, Mrs. I. I. Bradley, Mrs. John Lange, Miss Grace Dusen, and the Kansas City Sun and all those Bennett Dance for their efforts in making it such a glorious success. "BISHOP" F. G. GILMORE, D. D. Presiding Bishop of the Cyclone Conference. MASONIC If in presenting such matters as extra assessments and other grand taxes to the lodges the masters would keep in mind the fact that they themselves are members of the body which set the requirements, there would be less chance for misunderstanding. As a rule the master is responsible for a grumbling, discontented craft. If he puts on a long face whenever he speaks of grand lodge or grand officers, the members will do likewise; but if he wisely demonstrates that fine devotion which he owes, being a member of the grand lodge as well as the subordinate, he will have no trouble in his function as a connecting link between the two. As a rule Masons are very stingy concerning their charities and benevolences, though they talk more about them than anyone else. It is also true that in every community the Masonic lodge always contains the most prosperous and substantial citizens, able to make the lodge shine cut in all its glory of good works. But they don't do it. Usually it is the fault of the leaders who all fall into the rut of narrowness and short-sightedness. If Masonry means anything, it means breadth, liberality, generosity and wide benevolence. ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME PRICE, 5c. Sunday Night DISTURBING THE MUSES. By CHAS. A. STARKS. All was quite in the land of thought, Sweet Peace, Hushed and awed with its own silence, sought no release. God's goodness was proclaimed and the A Angels sang: "Holy is Thy Name!" the softened echoes runs. Except this singing, now and anon, not a sound Reverberated, while Harmony looked around. The Muses were asleep, they gave us not one lay. And said, "Away with this Peace! Let's talk of h—". The die was cast, and my! such shoddy stuff! Some said, "Tis real," while others said, "the vowel of the questioned place." Others said, "Tis yet to come to this ignoble Race." While many contend that only Satan will dwell Where the Brimstone wreaks, and the raging flames swell. But it has latest effusion is from a fiery pen Which would set the Mind right concerning that He rips the Freaching One into the smallest threads And rides majestically along as his Wisdom sheds. "Hell is no burning place," says that Wonderful Man. And proceeds to riddle the barbarous plan. But not without a certain homatic style While outstrips egotism one proverbial mile. "O recognized Genius in Oratory," "Imperative One!" Not the thing is thine, but an emblazoned Sun. We all were groping in dark ignorant night. "Til they designed us one beam from your terrible light. The Muses are re-awaken'd from a restless sleep By strange reflections on the much harraigned deep. But tails on this, if God is Everywhere, Where is that "place" where he is not tails. And give to Eternal Truth their mortal flaws! Tails pure conception, and unto Babes re- vealed.

Father and Son, Because the Latter ‘Tried to Protect His Aged Parents —Let Us All Help Financially, Colorado State Penitentiary. = | Hon, N. C. Crews, Dear Sir: I am enclosing herewith a copy of a decis- ion 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 T was in- stantly convicted and sentenced to death and my aged father, a man of near 83 years, was also convicted as an accomplice and sentenced ¢rom 30 to 60 years at hard labor in state pen- itetitiary, I was sentenced to death for protecting my aged father and mother, in thelr own home, and my life at the cost of the lives of the two brutal, inhuman, prejudiced, Negro- hating, lawless policemen who were assaulting my mother and father, and seeking to murder me, But after being denied.a new trial by the judge trying my case, my at- torney, ExJudge Lyman I. Henry of Pueblo, Colo., assisted by W. B. Town: send, attorney-at-law of Denver, Colo., aided at great expense by good citi: zens of both maces 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., T 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 will s00n come, Now, dear sir, the fight ‘has just commenced as the prejudiced class in that community are determined that the sentence imposed on my father and myself be carried out, and they will use every means in their power to gain their hellish ends, and to thwart all in thelr desire to see me get justice. I appeal to you for finan- cial aid, if you ean assist me in any way through the columns of your pa: per, or otherwise, to meet the finan: ‘lal demands involved, it will be great- ly appreciated, ‘My reason for sending You @ copy of the supreme court’s de- ‘ision and comments, is for you to see clearly it was not an act trying or at: tempting to defy the law in any way, but ‘one of protecting my parents and my life, I again beg to state that 1 am a worthy member of R, T. Coles lodge, No. 86, Kansas City, Mo,, and my father, Joseph Harris, of Prudent lodge, No, 6, Kansas City, Kas,, being @ 2 degree man and a 83 degree gen tleman, So I appeal to you most ear nestly, that you may do for us what you caa, You may refer to your re spective lodges as to our standing Should you feel disposed to ald us forward same to my mother, Mrs Clara Harris, No. 1319 River street Canon City, Colo., as she is striving to gain us justice and every one look: to her to be pald for any expeuse in curred in helping father and me.

The welfare of the city is hanging in the balance and everything depends upon what the curbstone orator says. The "niggah" haters, Tillman and Vardaman, voted against woman suffrage because they could not bear to think of it. Senator Gore of Oklahoma, voted against the proposition because he could not help but think of it. It's going around again—"I've always been a strong friend of the colored race. I shed tears when I think of my dear old colored mammy. Boys, if you'll help me out this time, I'll see that you don't lose nothin'." The absence of Prof. Jackson last Sunday from the Organ at Allen Chapel made many of us old timers think of sweet little "Phee" Watts, now Mrs. Elmer Jackson, who was one of the most lovable and accomplished organizers Allen Chapel ever knew. Why not hold her in reserve in case of the illness or absence of Prof. Jackson? The office-seeker who has not spoken to you for two years is now anxious to renew your friendship. His hand comes down upon your shoulder like a catapult and you think your hand has been run through a wringer. It's hard to keep your head on straight but do the best you can.

For several weeks past, in fact since the closing of the Criterion Theatre, the work of reconstruction and putting in shape the third floor at 1740 Vine Street had been eagerly watched by the pleasure seekers of greater Kansas City, and when the announcement cards were mailed, reservations from many of Kansas City's most exclusive set were daily received, until upon the evening of the grand opening every available table had been contracted for. A special representative of the Sun was on hand at 9:00 o'clock to witness the most elaborately appointed Cabaret operated for and owned by Negroes in America. The natural beauty of this large and spacious room was materially augmented by a profusion of palms and cut flowers, which virtually transformed the Cafe into a garden fit for a King. A six-piece Orchestra under the directorship of Milton D. Vassar, furnished the music. Mr. G. O. Smith, Kansas City's popular head waiter, who officiated at the opening of the Blue Goose and Prince Henry Cafes, with his regular crew of twenty-six men from the Hotel Kupper, uniformed to the minute, did the serving, and the service which they rendered was par excellent. The two entertainers, Miss Bessie LaBelle of Omaha Neb, and Speedy Smith, sang a Repertoire of songs and ditties that served only to make one forget the very inclement weather without and wish for more. From 9:00 o'clock until the wee hours of the morning crowds continued to come and go and not a hitch nor a bobble of any description was in evidence at any time. The Management of the Lincoln Cafe is to be congratulated on the kind of service and entertainment which they are offering to the pleasure seeking public. The atmosphere from every angle of this institution inspires the most wholesome respect and decorum upon the part of all who pass within its portals. The Lincoln is open every evening in the week and the cabaret entertainment begins at 9:00 p. m. ```markdown ``` PUBLIC CORDIALLY INVITED CROSTHWAIT FLORAL CO. KANSAS CITY, KAN.

Interment in Woodlawn Cemetery. Possibly the most unique surprise party so far this year was the one of Mrs. Lottie J. Gamble on her birthday, March 19, led by Mrs. T. Davis. It is unique in that it was at the home of her employer and that he and his charming and cultured wife and daughter, as well as two guests present contributed largely to furthering the merriment and jollity of the occasion. "Netewaka," the beautiful country estate of Hon. O. L. Vanlaningham is like a dream come true, located at 81st and Broadway and for the novice it was at the disposal of the party. They magnanimously elected to use the spacious billiard room leaving the rest of the Mansion for the use of the "Lord of the Manor." But when the sweet strains of the Cosmos Club Orchestra rose upon the air the Lord and Lady who are devoted to Mr. and Mrs. Gamble wooled by the sweet strains than which Orpheus never made sweeter and fearful the guests would not make themselves at home came right on to the party to see that they did. A splendid program was rendered. Those in the party were: Dr. and Mrs. Hayden, Hon. Milton Collins, Mr. Clyde Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Barnett, Mr. and Mrs. Foster, Mr. and Mrs. Claybourne, Mr. and Mrs. Robinson, Dr. and Mrs. Banks, Dr. and Mrs. Soanes, Prof. Reynolds, Miss A.

When in health she was active and faithful in the discharge of her duties, her motherly counsel and service will ever be held in grateful remembrance. She was ever ready and willing to do what she could. The removal of such a life from among our midst leaves a vacancy and a shadow that will be deeply realized by us all. She was ever ready to succor the needy and distressed, prompt to advance that interest of the order, devoted to its welfare and prosperity one who was wise in counsel, fearless in action, an upright Christian woman whose virtues endeared her not only to her sisters, but all who knew her. Resolved, That we, the members of Rebecca Tabernacle No. 11, tender our heartfelt sympathy to the family and relatives of our deceased daughter in this, their sad affliction. We realize that God alone can comfort one so deeply affected as yourself. Look, therefore, to him whose wise purposes though often mysterious, are nevertheless directed always toward infinite good. It is the order of man that death shall come to us all and though we reckon it a hardship the inexorable should be accepted as the will of him who is wise beyond our understanding. May you receive strength from heaven to bear your loss with the resignation of a trusting and loving heart, willing to sacrifice itself to God's desire. "So live that when they summons come To join the innumerable caravan Which moves to that mysterious realm Where each shall take his chamber In the silent halls of death, Thou go not like the quarry slave at Thou go not like the quarry slave at night. Scouraged to his dungeon; But sustained and scotched By an unfaltering trust Approach thy grave like one Who wraps the drapery of his Couch about him and Lies down to pleasant dreams." "Servant of God well done Blest be thy new employ; Thy battles fought, the victory is won, Enter thy master's poy." Resolved that a copy of these resolutions be spread on the face of our minutes; a copy to our official organ, and a copy forwarded to the bereaved family. MRS. LENA B. DOWNS, Ch., MRS.

Whereas it has pleased the supreme ruler of the universe to remove from our midst our beloved mother and daughter, Martha Lee, who departed this life Thursday, March 12, at 10:10 p. m., and Whereas she has been connected with Rebecca Tabernacle No. 11 more than twenty years, she was a faithful and highly esteemed daughter. She was devoted to her order and was instrumental in its cause, ever ready to obey the calls. The hours were never too long or nights too dark for her to do whatever her hands found to do. She was a loving and devoted mother. We will miss her in our chain. Though she is separated from us, we cannot commune with her again on earth she is gone where they speak a higher language, to live in a higher sphere, and when the day comes that we shall disappear from these earthly scenes we shall be joined to her again, not as we were, for we shall not then be as we were, but as they are with God. Be it resolved, That while cruel fate has robbed you of one of the dearest mothers, the community its best friend, we the members of Rebecca Tabernacle No. 11, extend to you our heartfelt sympathy in this your hour of great grief. May God give you the grace to bow with resignation before the stroke which has fallen so heavily. "Low she lies who blest our eyes Through many a sunny day, She may not smile, she will not rise, The life has passed away.

There is silence still and deep, Yet we know that she sings by God's bright throne bright throne— Then, wherefore, do we weep. That world of light with joy is bright.

They are members of a group of girls headed by Miss Ella Robinson. These girls are to make a specialty of physical culture. They are entitled to all privileges in the Association.

The members of the staff evinced much interest in the work being done and Superintendent L. A. Halbert on behalf of the board expressed much pleasure with the demonstrations. Mrs. Williams has instructed three hundred and sixty-six women and girls in the art of Domestic Science since she established her most interesting school, many of whom are filling lucrative positions in the homes of the best families of the .two Kansas Cities and the Board of Welfare unanimously voted to, endorse the work she is doing and, to commend her school and pupils to the people of this city.

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. 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 XXth 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 XXth Century Preparation in my house. MRS.

Peculiar Natural Fact. One of the puzzles of nature ts the fact that many springs show an in: creased flow of water several hours before a coming rain begins to fall. Various explanations have been at- tempted, the most plausible being that the weather before a storm is often of the kind which checks loss of moisture from the ground by evaporation and hence leaves more to feed the springs. ‘Trees Resist Lightning. ‘The electrical resistance of trees fe quite great, a quality which pro- tects them to a considerable degree from lightning stroke.

Inculeating Right Views. Some people hold that children should hear sad things to cultivate their sympathy. Might it not be just as effective to teach them to sympa- thize with gladness? Is {t not much easier to weep with those that weep than It {s to really rejoice with those who do rejoice? It is very hard- ened heart that is not softened at the sight of pain and distress, while it re- quires something higher and nobler to be glad when another has some pleasure or happiness greater than ‘we possess, City’s Charter Centuries Old. ‘A 600-year old charter granted by King Faward I. to Aberystwyth, (Car digan), Wales, has been discovered by Dr. Lewis of the University Col- lege of Wales, in a search for docu- ments for the town council.

He was managing to make a living, but he had not gotten his friends’ trade because he had neglected to let his friends know that he was in business, How many friends were there just like the first?’ How many dol- lars had this colored man lost through neglect to notify the public which includes his friends. ‘The business man did not even resort to the somewhat out-of- date method of scattering circulars, He had never considered ad- vertising. He, too, knew that white merchants who have built their Jusiness from small beginning to large propositions had been large ‘users of advertising space in the newspapers. He did not seem to care to know that the publie largely patronized these merchants be- cause they let the community know what they had for sale. He was still in the beginning class, making but little more than a laborer gets. Mr, Colored Business Man, the opportunity is yours, like that of the white man who began small.

The plow, drawn by a pair of zebus, 1s a very crude affair. The share, mado of soft iron !mported from Sweden, fs attached to rough wooden bars made by the village carpenter, and the plow ts fastened to the heavy yoke by a chain. Tho soll ts merely scratched on the surface, for the depth to which the share penetrates depends entirely on the physical exertion of the driver, who 1s often mere- ly a youth. As soon as the rainy season sets in, generally somewhere about November, fleld work begins, Only two kinds of grain are grown in Fars, wheat for bread and barley for the food of the horses, donkeys and mules, though now it 1s also often used for baking purposes by the poorer classes. When the seed has been sown, a plank, five feet long by one and a halt feet broad, pressed down by the weight of the driver, who stands on it, 1s driven over the ground to level {t and to cover the seed so that it shall not be washed out when the fields are flooded by artificial Irrigation. If the rains are good and plentiful, the young green blades soon show above ground; but if the nour- ishlug element falls, artificial irrigation must be resorted to, and the few springs which exist in the Shiraz valley become worth a good deal of money. Water is scarce in southern Persia, and has to be bought by most farmers throughout, a dry sea- son. On specified days in the week each fleld owner gets his supply for certain hours. The fields are then flooded, and to retain the water as much as possible each division 1s crossed by num- ders of dams, two feet high, which conflne the water, and in this way the earth Is thoroughly soaked, Where running water {s not obtainable, wells and underground channels are dug. From the wells, some of which are as much as 60 or 100 feet deep, the water ts drawn by horses or other animals, A rope attached to the harness runs over a wooden wheel on a gentry above tho well mouth. The “bucket” consists of the skin of a sheep or other quadruped, from the neck of which the water flows into a basin level with the ground, and then through narrow channels to the growing crops. These wells can be seen and the squeaking noise of the wooden wheels heard throughout the land. ‘The canals, very often many miles long, are covered aqueducts, through which the water {s led from the mountains to the plains and vil- lages. The soll thrown up in digging these passages form mounds at the mouths of the shafts, which are sunk at intervals of 25 or 80 yards. The dlgging of these canals 1s a special trade, and the secret of their construction 1s guarded jeal- ously by the men who earn thelr living in this manner. Tho crops begin to ripen and harvesting starts towards July in the Shiraz valley, but earlier as one goes further south. The simple sickle is the ouly reaping implement used all over the vast country. When the crop is reaped it is not tied into sheaves, but Is merely stacked up. When threshing time arrives, the simplest of machines appears on the scene, It 1s combined thresher ‘and chaff-cutter. Between two broad wooden run- ners there is a pair of wooden rollers, in which short, wide, blunt knife blades are fixed. The upper part consists of four wooden uprights, on which a board {s mounted as a seat for the driver. ‘A pair of 2ebus drag this machine over the straw, which {s spread flat on the ground, and {s cut, or, rather, broken, up by the constantly rotating knives, while the pressure of the runners sepa- rates the grain from the husks. The weight of the driver supplies the necessary pressure. It takes eight or ten days to thresh out a stack, and ‘when this Is finished, {f the wind 1s blowing fresh- ty, the winnowing can begin. Again a very sim- ple instrument, merely a wooden fork, 1s all that {s used by the peasants. The monsoon, which blows in August and September over southern Persia, plays an {mportant part in this proceeding. ‘The winnowers start on the weather side of the threshed stack, tossing the straw Into thé air wth thelr forks, the breeze blows the light chaff several yards to leeward, where {t collects In a heap, while the heavy grain falls at the feet of the workers, and in this rough-and-ready manner the separation of the grain from the chaff Is effected. ‘Tho remaining operations of harvesting are very simple. The chaff 1s baled up in large, specially made nets, and brought on donkeys to the vil lages, while the grain follows in bags on the backs ot camels or donkeys. The poor people are now allowed to glean over the fields, sifting the dust ‘and gathering such grain and chaff as are left. Before the grain goes to the mill it 1s cleaned REN er aca ee ee Japanese Domiciles Are Buildings Without Walls. Stiding Panels and Windows of Paper Are Used in Dwellings; Flimsy Character of Habitations of the Flowery Kingdom. ‘Tho paint pot {s virtually banished from Japan, That is the first thing you notice as you approach the coast, for the first adventurous fishing boat you pass is built, it would seem, of About half a dozen broad, unpainted deal planks, So with the sampans that cluster round your ship as soon as the anchor Is dropped; they are all nature colored, undecorated and un- defaced by a single lick of the paint Brush. So with the houses of the first Japanese streets you enter; they ‘are weathered to the sliver gray of unpainted pine, Such color as there fs proceeds from the innumerable strips of calico, inscribed with huge hlerosiyphics, whicif flap perpendicu- larly or horizontally before every house. House construction becomes very much clearer when we think of the partitions as consisting not of screens, but of sliding panels. Nor is it true that the Japanese house 1s not divided {nto rooms. ‘The line of demarcation between room and room 1s definitely fixed by the grooves in which the panels slide. There is even a solid and permanent boundary; for the panels are only some five feet nine inches in height, whereas the height of the room Is generally about elght feet, so that from twenty to thirty tnohes of fixed partition fill the space between the panels and the ceiling. Mt is true that when all the panels are drawn back a whole floor of a Bouse becomes virtually one large room, but this is almost as true of some English and many American houses when all the folding or slid- tag doors are open. Looking now at the Japanese house ‘at large, ono ‘can easily define its dominant characteristic. It is a house without walls; it 1s a roof raised on wooden uprights over a wooden plat: form some eighteen inches above the ground, which forms the matn, and fm one story houses, the only floor. ‘The roof and the upper floor or floors ‘are supported entirely by the beams, which form the skeleton of the whole erection. The space which in Buro- pean houses {s occupied by walls and windows is here given over to sliding Panels of a different sort than those which form the partitions between rooms. Each house has an outer and an Inner casing. The outer casing of wooden shutters, called “amado,” slides away every morning into cup- board boxes so disposed that a dozen “amado" slip into them with perfect ‘ease and can \be slipped out again at night with a minimum of exertion. ‘And what of the inner casing? It Mkewise consists of sliding panels Placed some two or three feet behind ‘the outer casing, which space of two ‘or three fect forms a sort of veranda for a lower story, or balcony for an upper story. But these inner panels, called “shoji,” are entirely different from the “amado,” and are the pecu- War characteristic of Japanese archi- tecture, They consist of light wooden frames, over the rectangular panes of which, so to speak, white paper 1s pasted in Het of glass, Translucent, ‘but not transparent, paper admits Ught, while {t secures privacy; though “secure” is perhaps hardly the word for privacy which an inquisitive ‘baby's fingers can destroy. ‘The reader may now understand Perhaps, the toylike fragility of the Fapanese house. Save its roof and its floors, there is scarcely anything solid or tmmovable about it. When the “amado” are stowed away for the day ‘the walls are literally of white paper, and, though these paper walls are seldom quite removed, one panel ts generally slipped behind another, #0 that, to all intents and purposes, the ‘building is wall-tess as a bandstand, or a3 a doll’s house with the front un ‘booked. Land Campaign of 1814. One hundred years ago March 2 the preparations of the Americans and British for beginning the land cam- paign of 1814 were about completed ‘The American army under General ‘Wilkinson had already crossed the Canadian frontier. On the Canadian «side the preparations for the campaign were being conducted with equal en- ‘ergy. Stores of every kind, and in vast quantities, were being forwarded from Quebec and Montreal by brigades of slvighs to points of distribution near the frontier. At this time the Prospects of peace. appeared very re- mote.

Early spring was often a trying time for him, when his supplies of cattle food were apt to become exhausted before the new grass appeared. ‘There were then no turnips, mangolds, oll-cake) soy beans or similar foods to be procured, and he had some- times great difficulty in keeping his cattle trom starvation, especially in the late districts. It 1s dificult to belleye, but it s nevertheless true, that, in parts of Scotland the cattle were at times 80 weak in spring from want of food that they were unable to rise from their stalls when the new grass did come. ‘The custom therefore arose for farmers in a nelghborhood to meet together and ko from farm to farm for the purpose of carrying the helpless cattle out to the fields. This was termed the cattle lifting, a much more humane method of “cattle lifting” than that which used to prevail on the borders. In tho wilder parts of Scotland, where gorse or furze was plentiful, the young shoots were often used in spring as a supplementary food for both cattle and horses. The shoots were cut down and then removed to the farm to be there crushed. {nto a rough pulp which could be eaten by the cattle. It was eagerly devoured by them, and they throve upon it, Cows gave richer milk when they Were supplied with crushed gorse, and the milk was free from unpleasant flavor, such ms other green winter foods sometimes {nduce, . Horses, too, relished the food, Great faith was placed in the nutritive value of whin shoots. Indeed, so popular did whin diet become, that flelds, especially where the soil was Gry and light, were set aside for the whin crop, the seeds being sown in drills in March, so that the shoots became ready for use in the autumn of the following year. For several years in suc: cession forage was obtained from the orlginal crop. ‘There were several methods employed for pulp- ing the gorse, In small farms, where only a limit. ed quantity was needed, the method usually adopt- ed was to lay the young shoots on a flat stone or block of wood and hammer them with a mallet similar to that now used for driving in paling posts. Sometimes one end of the mallet was fitted with fron blades for chopping the gorse, while tho other end was flat for pounding it. Otherwise &"rammer” or “bruiser” might be employed, an instrument consisting of a “shank of wood, three feet eight inches in length, © bulged out part to sive the instrument welght on belng used, and a base which is contracted Into a square, and shod with an fron shoe embracing parallel tron cutters ‘oue inch asunder and three Inches deep, aud sharpened at their lowey edge.” as nearly as possible, if milady would appear up to date in the newest dresses.

In such case a gorse, furze or whin mill, as {t was variously called in different dis- tricts, was utilized. The whin mill was bullt after one of two types; the most common consisted of @ clreular stone, shaped somewhat Ike a mill stone, standing on edge, with approximately a diameter of four feet and a thickness of a foot. In the center of the stone a hole was cut, through which a shaft about 14 feet long was fixed. On end of the shatt was attached to an {ron pin firmly fixed into an earth-fast stone, and the other end was ftted with tackling to which a horse could be yoked. ‘The gorse shoots were then thrown into a circular trough or course, where they. were crushed as the millstone slowly revolved. ‘The farmer occasionally stirred them up with a hay- fork and sprinkled them with water to facilitate the crushing process. Crushing went on for about @ couple of hours, by which time the gorse was sufficiently pulped to be eaten by the cattle. In the second type of mill another form of stone, shaped somewhat like a fleldroller, was utillzed! ‘This pattern was not so common as the wheel: shaped. ‘The rolier revolved on a flat circular course paved with stones, and had one end rather thicker than the other to enable {t more readily to turn round tho cigele, ; In process of time these gorse mills gradually fell into disuse. As the land became better popu lated, gorse became less plentiful and cattle food more abundant. ‘The Introduction of turnips, too, provided a plentiful supply of food in spring, when it had formerly been very scarce. Farmers, more over, grudged the amount of labor entailed in pre paring the gorse, and were not unwilling that the ‘apparatus shoud fall into decay.

These elements are the more significant in a school which has thus far been of moderate size, and which, located in white, the northern white, the southern ern-central Alabama, is distant from the centers of southern education. ‘This educational co-operation seems natural and inevitable. ‘There {s no loss in the spirit of racial integrity, but a salutary race consclousnesss 1s inspired. No danger is evident, either to cultural inheritance or to normal development. In the broad field of negro education excellent results are achfeved where elther white or colored educators work alone. But peculiar effectiveness, indispensable for some phases of the work, is gained where all the available forces work together. The white leadership on this co- operation needs to be of exceptional quality. Social experience ts required for relations which are not in them- selves difficult, but which might be come so without the social art. Neces- sary qualities for the white educators in this united labor are professional accomplishments, critical apprecla- tion of those for whom they labor, pa- tient faith in them, and a broad and deep religious life. To these qualities the colored participants in the work are responsive. The names, careers ‘and associations of the white work- ers at Calhoun would surprise those who have not learned that the best service attracts the best servants, without thought of reward outside the service. ‘The increasing co-operation of the finest southerners in tho education and uplifting of the negro ts one of the most significant movements in our country. But this power needs to be still moro aligned with the others. ‘The presence of a representa- tive southern gentleman in the work- ing force of Calhoun 1s one of the most noted contributions to negro education. The inevitably _rapld growth of the school includes the en- largement, already planned, of this element. Mr. E. 3. Chestnutt has for his spe- clal task the oversight of the business affairs and agricultural methods of the colored owners of the thousands of acres which the school and he have given them opportunity to acquire. ‘The intimate knowledge, tact, author- ity and enthustasm of ‘a representa- tive of his class have been devoted to the task which has given Calhoun. its finest success and chfef distinction. An expert agriculturist, a successful man of affairs, he is an invaluable counselor, guide and friend to these steadily ascending people. With the unfailing gentleness which comes of Intimate ‘comprehension, he knows also how to be unsparing in warning and rebuke, and, when necessary, un- swervingly severe in action.

E A Bid for a Throne An Audacious Hazard of Nikolai, Independent Agent, as Related by His Lieutenant, Summers By H. M. EGBERT (Copyright, 1913, by W. G. Chapman) We were in South Russia—that southernmost portion of the vast empire where the black earth yields two harvests a year and the grape ripens, the pleasant land which the Romans colonized and which their descendants, the Roumanians of today, inhabit, though under Russian rule. We were at Kishineff. I knew that beneath his cynicism and contempt, Nikolai cherished an unappeasable love for the land of his birth. That was the magnet that had drawn him back. Exiled in childhood, his father's vast lands confiscated on account of his adhesion to the abortive insurrection of 1863, he had returned a dozen times to aid the people of his unhappy country, risking imprisonment and death. This was during the blackest year of the reign of Nicholas, when the land groaned beneath his oppression and his troops, desperately resolved to crush out the revolt, diverted the hatred and prejudices of the mobs by organizing massacres of the Jews at their ruler's command. All through the district the massacres had spread, from the borders of Germany to the south. Everywhere fire and the sword had made women widows and children fatherless; age nor sex was sacred to the fanatics. It was because they were heart and soul with the movement for freedom that the earl loose his hordes upon these people. And every time a new report of a revolted city reached the despot, cowering in his palace upon the Baltic's shores, the order went forth for another riot of blood. We had reached Kishineff, the scene of the first slaughter, in the guise of American commercial agents. Even yet the streets bore witness to the scenes of violence that had occurred. Windows were still broken, doors burst in, ominous splashes of blood showed darkly upon ledges and stairs. And the czar's yoke was still heavy upon the victims of his fury. And yet again he planned to let loose his soldiery and his Black Hundreds. Whispers of a coming massacre were everywhere. We heard them in our hotel; they floated up to our windows through the still, summer air; strangers ceased speaking and looked at us with startled eyes as we passed them. Most ominous of all, bars of thick steel fastened the shuttered doors of houses and churches. Krushevan, the organizer of the last massacre, wrote in his newspaper: "The time has come to make an end of these traitors to church and czar. We wait only the word of our illustrious ruler. Humly, with bared heads and throbbing hearts, we await it. May it come soon!" Nikolai flung the sheet away as though it were something venomous and unclean, rested his chin upon his hands and remained silent, motionless as a statue for a long time. At last he roused himself and burst into such a torrent of execration that I trembled for fear his words would reach the ears of some spy lurking behind the thin partitions of our bedroom walls. "It is the desperation of impotence, Summers," he said to me when he grew calmer. "The monster's throne is not tterting. You know that the people are armed, that a new spirit of reprisal has taken hold of them, that they are prepared to resist massacre more desperately than their forefathers resisted Titus and his Romans. If this determination could be turned into the right channels, the imperial throne would fall. "Look at the facts, Summers," he continued. "Five millions of them are shut into a small square of Russian territory. They number at least half, often three-fourths of all the population of the cities. They are organized and their adversaries are not Russia is splitting into fragments. Five million—an army of five hundred thousand men, more than the Arabs were who overran Europe and threw down the thrones of a dozen emperors—why should they not suffice to set Russia free and establish themselves as a nation?" He lit a cigar, puffed at it furiously and strode up and down the room. "Now is the time," he cried. "Let them rise here in Kishinen and fifty cities will follow their example. They need but some leader, some opportunity." And, knowing Nikolai, I knew that already he dreamed of himself as both that leader and that opportunity. But I said nothing, and presently he outlined to me the plan he had formed. The people of Kishineff, he said, were organized under the leadership of Rabbi Jacob, a man of middle age, whose intense piety nevertheless had not prevented him from identifying himself secretly with the revolutionary cause. While they dwelt on friendly terms with their Russian and Roumanian neighbors, it needed but a few drinks of vodka and a few words from the priests of the Greek churches to rouse the latter's murderous instincts. Suppose, said Nikolai, that both of these parties could be incited to attack the persecuted quarter, under the belief that its denizens were arming against them. Suppose the attack was timed so that they would Pen Sketch of "Prominent Citizen," as a Magazine Writer Views the Type. A prominent citizen (according to Smart Set—Any male who owns a dress suit, is a member of two expensive clubs, is opposed to child labor, acts as honorary palebearer at least four funerals a year; is a member of at least two public boards or commissions which never meet, pre- meet in the dark and each mistake the other for its hated enemy. They would fall upon one another and mutually annihilate each other. Then the downtrodden would be masters of the situation; the Russians and Roumanians would both be at their mercy! And since the civil and the military governors of Kishineff were at loggerheads, his purpose could be more readily attained. It was useless to attempt to oppose Nikolai's imperious will. As he grew cooler, he became more resolute. And on the following afternoon I yielded to his proposals. That evening, wearing the uniform of a member of the Committee on Internal Affairs at St. Petersburg, and passing under the name of Captain Linovieff, Nikolai entered the grounds of the civil governor's palace, I being in attendance as his orderly, and sent up his card to that official. After an endless time he came out from the dinner table. A party was being held, and I heard the laughter of ladies and the mirtful voices of officers within. The governor $\textcircled{3}$ as inclined to be curt, but a glance at Nikolai's uniform reduced him to a condition of deference. He sat down a little heavily, as though he had been drinking, and motioned to Nikolai to be seated also. I stood at attention behind my master. "What can I do for your excellency?" the governor asked, "before you join our party?" "My task accomplished, I must return to St. Petersburg at once," said Nikolai harshly. "Governor, how long are you going to let this brood of vipers hatch out their plots beneath the windows of your palace?" The governor waved his hands in deprecation. "Had I my way, I would smoke out the rabble," he murmured. "But you know, excellency, how our monarch is abused by the press of England and America. We must be cautious!" "I shall communicate your refusal to his majesty," said Nikolai with a bow, making as if to withdraw. "Wait! Wait!!" screamed the governor. "Your excellency did not deign to tell me that this was his majesty's command." The Little Father has no need to command," said Nikolai coldly. "His willing servants wait upon his nod and read his thoughts before they reach his lips." "It shall be done," cried the governor in panic. "We shall make a more thorough job of it this time. If only the soldiers leave the police to finish—" "The police will do nothing," responded Nikolai. "You will pass the word to the Greek bishop of the Russian community. He will see to it. He has his orders. And your task will be to see that the police are passive and do not restrain the rioters. And, above all, say nothing to General Baratoff, the military governor, for he is under suspicion of being lukewarm where the czar's interests are concerned." "Rely on me," replied the governor, winking. "He will go mad with jealousy when he learns the truth. When is it to be?" "五 nights hence, when the moon is late in rising. Let the rabble arrive at midnight, all armed, at the south corner of the great square." "It shall be done," cried the governor, rubbing his hands. "And now, captain, you will take a glass of wine with the ladies?" "I regret that I cannot," Nikolai answered. $\textcircled{1}$ "I must leave for the capital at once. My droschky waits to convey me to the station. Farewell; see that you do not disappoint the czar, or your place will be endangered." And he withdrew, while I marched after him looking neither to the right nor the 19th until we reached the street below the palace. Then I burst into laughter. But Nikolai was in no mood for laughter. "Now for the military governor," he said. And we set off for his headquarters on the opposite edge of the town. General Baratoff had retired to bed by the time we arrived and came down blinking like an owl. His military service had been performed in St. Petersburg; he was a favorite of the royal family and had never seen real service in his life. His sole exploits had been against his fellow countrymen. "General Baratoff," said Nikolai, "five nights hence, at midnight, before the moon comes up, the sheep will fall upon the wolves and make an end of them." General Baratoff was wide awake upon the instant. He understood the allusion perfectly. Such parables were common everywhere during those days. "It is the cxar's command," said Nikolai. "Good," said the general, grinding his teeth. "Very good. My little soldiers are yearning for a taste of blood." "Your little soldiers will stay within their barracks, and armed sentries will be posted at the gates," retorted Nikolai. "Those cursed English and American newspapers must not befers a musical comedy to "Tristan and isolde," owns a "library edition" of Guy de Maupassant, bought from a book agent, regards all socialists as secondrials, has a theory to account for all money panics, possesses only one wife, sends his children to Sunday school as a punishment for petty misdemeanors, believes in free will and the greatness of Charles Dickens, is (or wishes he were) director of a national bank, has his shoes shined every day, cultivates an illegible signature, thinks it is immoral for a workingman Alfred Morris permitted again to say that the ear sets his troops upon his subjects. No, it will be the mob, the mad, uncontrollable mob that will do the shooting. Do you understand?" "Ah, I will speak to the Russian priests," said Baratoff. "There again you are in error," said Nikolai. "It must not even be the Russian. His majesty is as gentle-hearted as a child, and it would wound his soul to think that his Russians could commit such atrocities. No; it must be those bloodstrict Roumanians." "Ah, they are devils, those Roumanians," said the general, winking. "I understand. Five nights hence, at midnight." "Let the mob assemble, all armed at the north corner of the great square. It is learned that the others are armed. They will assemble on the south side and attack the peaceful inhabitants to glut their savage thirst for blood. Let the Roumanians wait until they see their enemies; then let them open with a fusilade. You understand your instructions?" "Trust me," the governor answered. "And, above everything, let no inking as to this reach the ears of the civil governor. He is in sympathy with the enemy, and his recall is being deliberated in St. Petersburg." "Good," said the military governor. "He will certainly be recalled when the czar learns of the successful doings of the night. We shall smoke out that brood of cobras—" "Aye, smoke them out," said Nikolai, with a bitter laugh. "I shall inform his majesty of your discretion. Farewell." "Your excellency will take a glass of wine with me?" General Baratoff urged. "I regret that I am unable to. My Oliver Morrison droschky waits to convey me to the railroad station, for I must leave for St. Petersburg to report to the czar the success of my mission." And he stalked out, leaving the old general winking and leering in the doorway, a lighted candle in his hand dropping grease all over his dressing-gown. "And tomorrow my friends must be warned," said Nikolai. "But," I urged, "if you warn them they will merely barricade their houses or prepare to fly." "I shall pass the word among the defense committee," Nikolai answered. "They have a corps of three hundred men; they will be prepared." On the next day Kishineff was ablaze with excitement—a smoulder. I should rather say, for nobody dared to speak openly. Yet the word had already been passed around, for Krushevan's newspaper teemed with dark and cryptic sayings, and special editions were being yelled upon the streets. "Let all loyal subjects of the czar keep their houses after nightfall during the next two weeks," read Nikolai to me. "And let them see nothing and hear nothing. And let them keep well away from the great square." And then next day the flight began. The spectacle was pitiful. Men, women, children streamed out of the persecuted quarter toward the railroad station, crowding the compartment to get drunk on a Saturday night, contributes to all relief funds managed by newspapers, rides in a taxicab, constantly argues that the country is going to the dogs—and wears a stick. Willie's Crime. Mother—It shocks me awfully to think you took the penny. Remember, it is as much a sin to steal a penny as a dollar. Now, how do you feel, Willie? Willie—Like a chump. There was a dollar right alongside the penny. "YOU ARE NOT OF OUR PEOPLE." HE SAID. ments of the carriages, herding together; some took owen wagons across the frontier; some walked. They left their property to the plunder which all anticipated; life was more precious still. But a strong residue remained. And sometimes, from behind barred windows, one saw dark, resolute faces or caught the quick glint of r steel. "The defense committee has been warned," said Nikolai to me. "They will defend themselves. And their leaders have more than inking as to the true state of affairs." "And the Rabbi Jacob" I asked. "It was thought best to keep him in the dark. He is essentially opposed to violence except in case of self-defense. And yet—is it not self-defense to strike before you are struck?" asked Nikolai, impatiently. The word had spread throughout the district, he added, and everywhere a nation would rise to free itself, and, in freeing itself, to set free the country. On the fifth afternoon Kishineff presented a strange appearance. All through the persecuted quarter the doors were bolted and the windows barred. The flight had subsided; all who could depart were gone. The Russian and Roumanian quarters were filled with excited crowds, mostly already drunk, for somebody had handed out free drinks to all who called for them. The tumult of apprehension had given place to a strange, ominous calm; but it was a calm charged with electricity, foreboding a storm. By evening all our plans had been completed. Nikolai and I repaired to the house of the leader of the committee of defense, who was secreted with a dozen companions in the upper story, the windows being shuttered. "YOU ARE NOT OF OUR All were armed, and it was determined that, as soon as the Roumanians and Russians had fallen upon one another in the public square, the party should burst into the streets, collecting strength as it progressed, and make for the home of Rabbi Jacob. Though he was not in the secret, it was estimated that he would be unable to resist the pressure to put himself at the head of the movement. His presence would kindle a flame of enthusiasm throughout the quarter; an armed force would fall upon the rioters, overcome them, seize guns from the cantonment and depose the governors, afterward proclaiming a republic. With Nikolai at their head, the native element would quickly be brought to alliance and the empire of the czar would fall. As Nikolai unfolded all his scheme I saw his eyes flash and his nostril dilate; his breast heaved with pride I knew that once again he was, in imagination, a great noble whose word was law throughout a province. The streets were very still. Waiting in silence, we heard the clocks toll out the hours of ten and eleven. The police had been withdrawn; there was nothing to bar the rioters. From our position we could command a view of either side of the great square. The half-hour struck, and suddenly a murmur rose from the south corner, low and like the humming of bees. Then came the rhythmic tread of men, strangely muical, but growing "Horse Sense." Was the sojourn of Gulliver among the Houyhnhnms a fable, after all? The Society of Psychical Research listened to a remarkable report recently upon the education of heres, as conducted at Elberfeld, in Germany. Mr. Krall, who acts as "coach" to a select number of the species, brings his pupils to a remarkable proficiency, both in literature and mathematics. Their spelling shows a tendency to eliminate vowels, and they have not yet extracted the square root harber and heavier as it neared us. And from the north corner came other sounds, but louder and more discordant, for the Roumanians, less furious than the Russians, lacked also their cold stolidity. They were inflamed with vodka and their rage found vent in cries and threats. Their leaders could with difficulty quiet them. The Russians, on the other hand, were silent as savage wolves that wait for the killing. It was ten minutes before the hour, and now the streets beyond the Russian corner were crowded with a seething mass. I saw the dreadful banners of the Black Hundreds raised through the semi-obscurity. The civil governor had done his work well. Then scouts came alinking through the square, creeping from house to house and from wall to wall. Opposite them, against the white walls of their cat-cadral, the Roumanians, still disorganized, broke into a tumult of cries. The scouts ran back; somebody fired, and then, with a concerted and spontaneous cry, just as a river bursts its ice barrier in spring the Russians swept forward to glut their hate in the blood of their sup posed enemies. Leaders were swept aside. They burst across the square, one living, moving crowd, filling it from corner to corner. From the north side the Roumanians heard the challenge; they saw their enemies and were no less mistaken. With a yell they broke up on them. In the middle of the square the forces met. For an instant I saw the white paving stones between the leading files; then the two bodies dashed against one another as two currents, and just as conflicting streams toss up spray so human bodies, forced forward by those behind them, were hurled into R PEOPLE. HE SAID. the air somersaulting upon the heads of the fighters. They were too close-packed to fire. They fell upon each other with claws and teeth! the air was filled with an animal-like yelping and the fierce screams of triumph and groans of the stricken. The square had become a moving mass that swayed hither and thither, forced on, drawn back, whirling into eddies that spun and tossed up bodies and opened and closed. Knives gleaned, and suddenly I perceived a line of fire spring up and fringe the combatants. Somebody had thrown the torch that started the conflagration. The flames spread rapidly from house to house. They flickered on the fierce faces of the combatants. From every street more and more came streaming into the fray and knowing not friend from foe, they fought blindly and insanely till the ground was heaped high with the bodies of the slain. And then, when at last the Rounmanians had given ground, and the Russians poured in upon their quarter with torch and axe, when Kishineff seemed to have fallen upon itself to strike a blow at its own heart, Nikolai gave the signal. We dashed into the streets, running from house to house, and from each recruits of our party came pouring out. At last we were too many to fear any attack, even had the combatants had time to notice us. Nikolai and the committee leader led the way, and we burst into Rabbi of anything beyond 144. But they are able to "write from dictation," and they have the multiplication table and more abstruse branches of arithmetic at what, in other circumstances, would be their fingers-end. The delegates of the Psychical Research society have seen these things for themselves, and find that they are "not in a position to give any definite solution of the problem." They seem to have found at Elberfeld that the "thinking horse" is not such a strange variety, after all. And in these days, --- Jacob's home, afame with ardor, unddened with our abortive hopes. There were sounds of singing from within. And, as we entered the large central room which was used as a place of private worship, our passions died away. For he was seated upon a kind of dals, surrounded, quite simply, by the women of his family and a few neighbors, all unarmed. Men and women, none seemed to fear. He was chanting a prayer, and they, regardless of us all, joined in the worship. They neither looked up nor stirred. Afterward I learned that they had mistaken us for rioters, and having laid hopes of life aside, were waiting for death to strike them, fully prepared. But as each man entered, he fell into silence; and presently, one by one, each took up the burden of the song. It rose and fell in the plaintive cadence of a world-old melody, drowning the fierce, distant cries of the murdering Russians now sacking the Roumanian quarter, until its peaceful influence fell upon our hot passions like rain upon our parched field. When that song was concluded, the leader of our band stood forth and very sheepish, and in stammering accents made his petition that the rabbi should assume leadership of our movement. The man on the dais litened in silence, often looking from the speaker to Nikolai and back again. When all was silent he spoke but to Nikolai. "You are not of our people," he said. "You say you have come here to save us from massacre and to organize a revolution against the czar. For your good will I thank you. "But we are organized for defense, not for murder or battle. There has been murder enough in Kishineff tonight. Do you think, he continued sternly, "that I would rise from prayer—not for ourselves alone, but for all mankind, for peace and righteousness—to imbue my hands with blood? "And to you, he went on, addressing himself to his compatriots, I would say: 'Give up your schemes, fight for your homes, but leave such plots to others.' Aye, he continued to Nikolai, "though you have no ambitions, though your aims are to protect us only, we will have none of them." He turned to the young leader. "There are many dead and wounded in the streets tonight," he said. "Send your men to their homes; let their women take blankets and go out to the stricken, tend them and wash their wounds." I looked at Nikolai, and I perceived that, all unconsciously, the rest had withdrawn from him, so that he stood alone, facing the man on the dais, alone in that assemblage and alone in his designs. He bowed his head up on his breast. His ambition had gone out as one blows out a flame. Slowly he turned and made his way into the street. There Was One Thing "Well, I think we have lots to be thankful for," said Mrs. Browning at the breakfast table as she looked over to her better half. "Humph!" he growled. "Neither of us have died during the year." "No," he grudgingly replied as he cast a furtive glance at her. "Your business has been good." Mr. Browning growled. "Our house has not burned down" Another growl. "We might have been swept over Niagara Falls." "And we might have been eaten up by cannibals!" "Jacob Browning, can't you find one single thing to be thankful for on this day?" was demanded. "Last night when I went to bed, he said, "I had $15 in my pocket." "And now—this morning?" "Oh, I'm thankful that you left me a dollar and a half to run the week on!" Mule's Long Service. A forty-eight-year-old mule died recently at Springfield, Tenn. The mule was born in 1865 on the farm of Robert Holman, near Springfield. He was named Mike and was broken to work by Holman in 1867 as a two-year-old. As the time rolled on Mike was finally dubbed Old Mike and sold as a "plug" to an old negro, who with his cart and Old Mike, has been a familiar figure on streets of Springfield for more than thirty years. When Old Mike died he was the oldest mule Tennesse see ever produced. Old Mike saw Springfield when it was emerging from a simple village into a town. He saw wooden buildings give way to modern buildings of brick and stone as he ploled his solemn way hauling slop from the backyards of hotels and old boxes and rubbish from the basements of business houses. Commenting on the fact that the Tower building, located on lower Broadway, the first so-called skyscraper to be erected in New York city, is soon to be razed to make way for a more modern structure, a writer in a recent issue of the Times states: "There is something pathetic as well as distinctly American in the fact that this building, though now only twenty-four years old and illustrating a method of construction that still passes as new, should have been condemned to destruction on the ground that, owing to its antiquity, all its tenants have left it." It is noted that while the structure was but 120 feet high, it was the first to receive the name of "skyscraper" in New York city. when he only lags superfluous upon the stage of traffic, the leisure that he will enjoy for an intellectual career should enable his buried talents to be uncovered to the fullest advantage.—Pall Mall Gazette Grandma used to be an old lady who would throw a shawl over her sl outers and sit in a rocker and knit stockings all day. But, nowadays she puts on a nickel's worth of prepared chalk and follows the crowd—Cincinnati Enquirer. Home Town Helps Englishwoman Deplores the Absence in This Country of These Adjuncts to the Home. Mrs. Philip Martineau of London delivered an illustrated lecture at Washington recently on the subject of gardening. Mrs. Martineau deplored the absence of "cottage gardens" in the United States, which she declared are so common in England. Here, she said, "the back yard," which she called "a most delectable name," is usually merely a place to hang clothes to dry. "A love of gardens," Mrs. Martineau said, "would, to some extent, cure the restlessness so often found among the poorer people of the United States. If a man loves his rose bushes he always hesitates to move." She declared that gardening is the oldest pastime in the world, quoting Virgil and others—among them sir Francis Bacon—to prove her statement. "It is the one sport," she said, "devoid of jealousy, and a gardener, whether professional or amateur, is never selfish." What perhaps appealed to some of the women present in what she said, more than anything else, was a remark that gardens and love of gardening "keeps one eternally young, for the old live in the past, the middle-aged in the present and the young in the future, the garden being essentially a thing of the future." In England Mrs. Martineau said, every one plants his or her own garden, even duchesSES and other women of the peerage. She spoke of the great help the Royal Horticultural society there is to every class, and hoped for the establishment of some similar organization in the United States. COTTAGES MAKE BEST HOMES Good Sense in Move to Get Away From Monotonous Ugliness of Workmen's Abodes. The archbishop of York has been deeply interested in the conditions of the English coal workers and his counsel to the village builders has been to avoid those "long lines of monotonous ugliiness," so generally seen in house groups for the poor. The London News quoted from an article in Scribner's magazine recently telling of efforts in this country to effect model town construction. The type adopted at Edington, England (detached cottages, with a small garden) would appeal to the average American wage earner much more than any settlement idea, no matter how attractive the first offers might be. It is an inherent trait in the American to love his own cottage and bit of ground. The steel trust could do some genuinely good work among its employees if instead of devoting so much publicity to its pension and profit-sharing schemes, it would help its toilers to get away from the grime and squalor of a city tenement or shack, give them opportunite to acquire a little ground, and also make it possible, by cutting down the twelve-hour day, for them to have more time to rest or to cultivate a garden plot. Proper Lighting of Streets In the good old days before the illuminating engineer was with us the street was lighted by the hit-and-miss method. The poles were set up where most convenient and the lamps installed in the easiest way, regardless of how they looked, or how it affected the efficiency of the illumination. Many and many a street is made hideous by long rows of unsightly wooden poles, by drooping arc lamps sagging from a network of overhead wires, by strings of unsightly incandescent lamps. It was not until very recently that this subject of ornamental street lighting was seriously considered. Then it was speedily demonstrated that a lighting system in any city or village could be made an ornament to the place in daylight hours as well as at night. Down came the unisightly poles and the cobwebby wires. Ornamental standards classic of design and beautiful in appearance were set up at regular intervals along the curb. The wires were all put underground, where they belong, and at once the street was transformed. Help From the Newspapers. Civic workers in an increasing number of cities are coming to realize the value of the co-operation of the local press in campaigns for municipal improvements. The willingness of many newspaper editors to assist in such movements for the public good is shown by the liberality with which their columns are thrown open to those who can write on such subjects with knowledge and ability, says the American City, editorially. Petrographer Wanted. The department of commerce is vainly trying to find a man to take a place as petrographer, although all a petrographer has to know is chemistry, physics, mineralogy and all about stones and their suitability for constructional purposes. Thus we are reminded again that there are men who do not care for money. Blasting Fond Hopes. "If you marry my daughter, will you promise she will never miss anything to which she has been accustomed in her home?" "I'm afraid sir, she will have to miss her old man." Hla Class. "Oh, pa, my Harold is so handsome he is a perfect picture." "That's all right, but you let bfrm know that when I stamp my foot upstairs he's to get busy and be a moving picture." 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.

M. Thursday, April 2nd 1914. They desire to meet them face to face and explain to them the exact condition of the business of the Company. The Mollie Groves Mining @ Milling Co. JOHN W. JONES, Pres. J. H. JONES, M. D. Secy. St. John's A. M. E. church, Omana, was packed on last Thursday evening to witness the great lecture, the "Twentieth Century Negro and His Message to the World," by Dr. W. T. Vernon. For one hour and a half Dr. Vernon held his audience spellbound and all were sorry when he had finished. It was a treat that Omaha selum enjoys. Dr. Vernon is a polished orator and his eloquent flow of language is pleasing, carrying with it great facts and food for thought. He came under the auspices of the Willing Workers' Club of St. John, who received hm and tendered an elaborate dinner in his honor at the parsonage. The table was richly laid with a large center of pink ad white carnations, and the delightful course dinner was served in grand style by Mrs. Rufus Long, Mrs. Maude Scott and Mrs. Eva Heirionymous. Dr. Vernon pronounced the Willing Workers one of the greatest bodies of young women he had ever met. He said they knew how to do things. Nearly $86 was realized from the lecture. Mrs. W. T. Osborne and Mrs. Kate Wilson, the president and secretary of St. John's W. M. M. S., Omaha, Neb., under whose management and training the DuBois Dramatic Club realized $324.70, and won laurels and reputation for themselves in the dra A. MRS. W. T. OSBORNE. ma, "Under the Shadow of a Crime," are two of Omaha's most progressive women. The largest representative audience ever gathered in Omaha to witness a rendition of its own race along any line, demonstrated their confidence in the work of the W. M. M. Society and the Dramatic Club, when near 900 persons responded to the advertisement, "The best drama yet given by local talent." This being the fourth play given under the auspices of the W. M. M. S., supervised and managed by Mesdames Osborne and Wilson, each growing better and more interesting, till the confidence of the public at this time had been gained and the sentiment went without the saying that the play would be interesting and well rendered. So positive of the fact that they would be proud of the young people, the representative citizens added to their appreciation by occupying boxes, parquet and balcony arrayed in the latest dictates of fashion. It was a genuine dress variety such as is seldom seen in public gatherings. All this betrayed the esteem and confidence in which the public holds the management and Dubois Club. The lower boxes were occupied by Mrs. Fannie Russell and party, The O. N. O. Club and G. W. Obe and party. The upper boxes by Miss Fannie Fitzgerald and party and Mr. Simmons and party. It would not be fair to call special attention to any particular person in the play, all deserve praise. The natural pose of each was far beyond expectation. Miss Audry Slaughter, the leading lady, Mr. Leon Robinett, the villain, Mr. Andrew Singleton, the hero, Mrs. G. W. Obe, the poor yet independent girl, R. C. Price, the colonel, Mrs. L. P. Robinett, the heroine, Andrew Reed, the decoyed father of the villain, J. A. Bryant, true friend to the hero, Miss Pearl Alexander, as maid, Jas. Peoples and J. N. Thomas, the comedians, all played their several representative parts well. All of the city papers spoke in highest terms of the play and splendid audience. Mr. Rufus Long, Omaha's favorite ore bateau singer, delighted the audience between the scenes and receivd roars of applause. Mrs. W. E. Osborne entertained on Monday at her residence, 613 North Eighteenth street, in honor of the Dubois Dramatic Club, who were a decided success in the drama, "Under the Shadow of a Crime," at the Krug, Thursday evening. Near nine hundred persons were in attendance and $234.70 taken in. The reception, which was a brilliant affair, was enjoyed by the jolly bunch and their friends. Music and conversation together with a delightful menu prepared by Mrs. Lawrie, one of Omaha's splendid cateres, made the evening a very pleasant one. Miss Audry Slaughter, the clever vemfwpwfvm Slaughter, leading lady, Mr. Leon Robinet, the clever villian, Mr. Andrew Singleton, the hero, Mrs. L. P.

Mrs. G. W. Obe and J. A. Bryant, other leading characters, they were unavoidably detained. Other guests were Misses Russell, Willis, Newman, Campbell, Bowler, councelor; Mesdames Thomas and Price; Messrs. Wilson, Wheeler, Wigginton, Wood, Jones, Dr. Dobson, Herald brothers, who gave showers of congratulations to the club for their excellent performance and neat sum realized. All insisted that Mrs. Oss borne plan another drama for the near future. ROSEDALE, KANSAS. HOSEDALE, KANSAS. Mr. and Mrs. E. L.
