Dr. Vernon is engaged in raising $10,000 for his Institution and is having remarkable success. A SUCCESSFUL PHYSICIAN. No physician in either of the Kansas Cities has built up a more lucrative practice nor achieved such remarkable success in so short a time as has Dr. R. C. Hayden, who resides at 945 Everett avenue, Kansas City, Kas., and who has an elegant suite of offices at Fourth and Minnesota avenue. Dr. Hayden came to Kansas City, Kas., in 1907, after graduating with high honors from Mehairy Medical College of the class of '07, and in being successful in curing some of the most difficult cases in Kansas City, Kas., and Argentine, he began at once to build up a large practice in these two cities. There are several people in Greater Kansas City who constantly sing the praises of Dr. Hayden and say after they had been given up by several other well known physicians, he was able to restore them to complete health and each one of these happy persons became a walking advertisement for this brilliant young physician. He married Miss Estelle Wilson, a popular and accomplished teacher in the Douglass School, and so large has his practice become that he was compelled recently to purchase a handsome new Hudson automobile in order to be able to reach quickly his numerous patients. He and his estimable wife are exceedingly popular among all classes and they are both of that kind and friendly temperament that has won them a host of friends. They have two valuable residences, besides the beautiful home in which they reside, one at 1403 N. 10th street and the other at 2816 N. 6th street, both of which are rented to splendid tenants and for which he receives a neat income. Dr. Hayden's phenomenal success should be an inspiration to every competent and aspiring young man and that success which he has achieved in such a large degree can be found only by earnest application to duty and constant devotion to one's profession. The Negroes of the two Kansas Cities are proud of Dr. R. C. Hayden. Flowers for Easter Or Any Occasion ```markdown ``` We Lead in Quality and Low Prices.

Eighteenth St. We are practically in the very spirit of Easter. As the Delmonico has always led in everything that spells service for the Cafe patron so today we are offering unusual advantages and accommodations that eclipse anything we have been able to offer in the past. Recent improvements have made it possible for us to serve our customers more efficiently and satisfactorily than ever. The already spacious dining room has been made even larger. A fine appearing partition now separates the Bakery Display from the Cafe proper. We believe this departure will please the general public since anyone desiring to purchase Bakery Goods only, need not feel the least embarrassed in coming in. (This part of our business is highly appreciated, and we feel deeply grateful that we are playing so large a part in the economic life of the bread consumer.) Whereas, the exclusive Cafe patron, by our new appointment and arrangement, can enjoy an increased privacy. We have also added another Institution in our new plan. It is music.—High Class Entertainment. This will be rendered Sunday afternoons and every evening. It will be a permanent part of our standard service. Remember, Easterites! The day will be incomplete without dinner at the DELMONICO. Realizing this we have prepared an elaborate menu which is both alluring and appetizing, the same being served at a popular price.

It was argued strongly years ago that now bound bodies by many professors that Masonry is a religious cult. Nothing would serve a better purpose in *f*ucating such bodies once each year. The Grand Lodge a few years ago went on record as endorsing the idea and even sugared in a few points in the jurisdiction the plan is followed with gratification. It is true that Masonry is a conservative art and has never depended upon any sort of vain show or esteem, but it is also true that any unreasonable conservatism is not very well observed than good and this act should be a point whereupon the practical side of Masonry is very closely situated. The world should not only be told this but it should be made at least once a year. All bodies and branches of the craft, as a demonstration, annually would not only serve to extol the cause the glory of the older secret institution in the world. (In a la Kelly Miller Style.) (With due apologies to that truly great writer, by C. A. Starks.) I see the swarthy malden bending up and down in her mistress' wash tub. I hear her singing merrily along as she sweeps the great halls, and as she prepares the noon lunch, I see her shaving all day for a pittance, and he her weary self toward home in the evening, long after twilight. I see her shopping on Thursday afternoon. In the cheap and common stores? Oh no! But there, where only the rich can afford. She lingers long, pondering over an expensive garment. I see her place her small mite upon the counter saying: "This for me, and no other, though it costs a hundred." I hear this ejaculation and feel pained for I know she will sacrifice. I see her making weekly trips to pay the purse-straining price, laying upon the vain glorious altar, her very all, and I wonder what great influence impels her on. I see the African youth moved by the same force, struggling and scheming and screaming to purchase a new spangled suit, thus seeking to spread his last dollar as a garment on his back, and I wonder what it means. I see that long looked for Easter morn as it is ushered upon the city. The Sun in golden rays smiles its approval on earth (that is maybe) and I begin to understand just why all this preparation. I see Church-Hill and its army of embellished ones, runnifg to and fro from church to church displaying the latest villany in dress creation, and am astonished with the multifarious designs and styles worn by the chocolate gentry. I see (perhaps) these fluffy garments stirred by inclement breezes that seem cruel to the willow-like ones and even the well decked amazon suffers difficulty in retaining her equipoise when these ungentle zephyr play havoc with her lovely gown and ungraciously discovering hosiery even to the non-perspective eye. I see the elite of the town in triple colors of black, brown and yellow. Brilliant dames and beautiful damels, seasoned men and fair youths and I hear them chattering about little things, the resurrection? Not one. The Ascension? Not a soul. My heart grows weary with this as I see and am dissatisfied because all is vanity. EVERYBODY IS GOING Everybody is going to Smith's Drug Store to try the famous Tango Sundae on a Blazer. The following is a list of distinguished guests and popular society people who have visited and declared the Tango Sundae to be the most delicious they have ever eaten. Is Your Name In the List? WM. STITTS. The International Bible Student who will give a lecture at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church at 19th and Askew Avenue. W.M. STITTS. The International Bible Student who will give a lecture at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church at 19th and Askew Avenue. ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME PRICE. 5c. A MAGNIFICENT ORATORIO. The Musicale by the Vested Choir of the Second Baptist Church a The rendition of the Oratorio, "The Seven Last Words of Christ," by Dubois, Thursday night, was one of the most musical and artistic treats of the year. More than 500 persons, among whom were quite a few of the leading white people of the city, heard this delightful program and were loud in their praises of its excellence. The management and arrangements were in the hands of that cultured, accomplished and tireless worker in her distinguished husband's church, Mrs. Dr. S. W. Bacote, and it is needless to say that every detail was carefully arranged. Mrs. Bacote deserves all the splendid compliments she received on this magnificent presentation and she is a distinct and valuable asset to the race in this city. The soloists were Mesdames L. J. Bacote, Corinne Lester and Miss Leslie King, soprans; Wm. Briggs and F. Fiche, tenors, and F. Wright and Jas. Anderson, bassos, while Miss Lula Knox presided at the organ. Mr. J. Ellison, trombonist, with Mrs. Bacote at the piano and director. A beautiful souvenir program from the artistic print shop of Mr. Arthur W. Harris, was given each patron and today all who were present are loud in their praise of Dr. and Mrs. Bacote. PRIZE WINNERS. In the contest launched by Dr. Theo. Smith some days ago to give three valuable prizes for the best twenty-five words describing the Tango Sundae on a Blazer, the judges have made the following awards: The first prize, $5 in gold, was won by Prof. D. G. Watson, 1906 East 24th street, with the following contribution: "You should test the taste of Smith's Tango-Sundae on a blazer, the acme of perfection in frozen dainalties. Smith's Drug Store, 18th and Tracy." The second prize, a fine tennis racket, was won by Miss Claudia L. Quarrels of 2412 Montgall avenue, with the following effusion: "We are all tangoing. Where? At Dr. Theo. Smith's Drug Store. We are dancing the Tango, we are singing the Tango, we are wearing the Tango apparel, and why not be served a Tango Sundae, bubbling over with deliciousness on a blazer? It contains a dainty marshmellow, a tiny loaf of sugar surrounded by a blaze which reminds you of the volcano Saqura Yima in full eruption, candied cherries, a la nuts, strawberries to suit the taste and bananas to remind you of the banana glaze. While eating it it reminds you of the Titanic going down, so come on and have one because you can't get away from it." The third prize, a year's subscription to the Kansas City Sun, was won by Attorney W. B. Bruce of 117 West 6th street, with the following: "It is indeed enjoyable to go to Smith's and partake of that delightful, refreshing and wholesome combination of appetizing delicacies—Tango Sundae on a Blazer." And the following came in for honorable mention on account of the excellence of their suggestions: Mrs. J. E. Frazier, 1000 Benton boulevard, sent in the following: "Go way Rastus, youse a fake. Ise done got classy and up-to-date. Has done got classy of that I'm sure; got a Tango Blazer at Smith's Drug Store. I'm going backward; what is more I'm going to take you to Smith's Drug Store. Let you try something classy at a classy store—a Tango Sundae on a Blazer." And the following from Miss Susie E. Johnson, 2412 Montgall avenue: "What do you know about "the latest" craze? Why is a Tango Sundae on a blaze, down where nice people like to go? At Eighteenth and Tracy-Dr. Theo. Smith's Drug Store. After wearing the Tango from our head to our feet, to our surprise we can get it to eat. Most popular people like its contents and you can get it all fr 15 cents. So buy and eat the Tango, you won't regret it. Dr. Smith will give you a souvenir so you can't forget it. On it is decorations which remind one of ferns, the little blaze cumsens all disease germs. It is wholesome, its sweet, so pleasant to taste, and no one could consider three tacks a waste for nuts, fruit, candy and cream all there, get, your name in the Sun there is nothing so fair. You can get other refreshments there at your request, but we prefer the Tango because it is best. I've said the above with no thought of the prize, it is just the opinion of little Sue with hazel eyes." The Kaw Valley Truck Farm Co., under the aggressive management of H. P. Ewing, is making a tremendous success. That Mr. Ewing has receipts for $400 in seeds, $150 in implements, $150 in labor, $350 on lease, proves conclusively that he is a hustler. Mr. Ewing has twenty acres ready for cultivation, six hot beds planted, fifteen acres prepared for watermelons. Mr. Ewing invites all stockholders and friends to inspect the progress of this farm. Mrs. W. G. Moseley, 2220 Woodland avenue, who has been quite ill for the past five weeks, is somewhat better. "House of Love" Lodge and Church Societies The Tuskegee Edition of DR. BOOKER T.

Address. FREQUENT WARNING The young Englishwoman had become very fond of American seaside hotels, with their rockers and cool plazzas, but in one respect she was critical. The story is told in the Wide World Magazine. "If only they would clean our boots once in awhile," she cried, "instead of sending us out to have a 'ten-cent shine' at a 'shoe parlor'! I have left my shoes outside my door every night for a week, and they have not been touched." Her new acquaintance looked at her a few moments pityingly, and cleared his throat. "I am afraid," he said, "you can hardly count on finding such honesty everywhere." She Was No Easy Mark Martha is seven, and has shown more than ordinary childish aversion to learning lessons, being washed and having curls made smooth and shiny, and less than the average delight in fairy-tales. One day upon her return from Sunday school she was questioned as to what she had learned from her nice teacher this time. She cried out with flashing eyes and an indignant toss of her pretty head, "Why, mamma; my teacher told me today that story about the Children of Israel walking across the Red sea and not getting theirselves wet one single bit—and she es-pected me to believe it!" Another Triumph for Cement. By using finely-powdered ingredients, articles are now made of cement which have the quality of the finest porcelain. Philosophic. The difference between truth and gossip is that one is true and the other merely true to life.—Puck. In and Out of Damascus Buildings. The hotel is called the "Grand Victoria," but it is above a blacksmith shop and a saddle shop. The lower stories are mostly blank, bare walls. From the upper stories project balconies of lattice oriels, some of which extend so far over the street as to make it easy for the velled damsel of the harem to leap across. In contrast with these plain exterior, the interiors are often exquisitely beautiful, having an open court paved with marble and a fountain fed by the waters of the Abana, tinkling and splashing through the hot hours of the day, and wooing one to rest during the cool of the evening. Palms, orange trees and oleander stand here and there. Within the house you discover rooms cold and formal to an American, but brilliant with Oriental hangings, brasses and inlaid mother-of-pearl furnishings.—Christian Herald. Transforming Trouble. An artist once painted a lovely picture, but just as he finished it he managed by some mishap to get several blots in the sky. To rub these out without spoiling the whole picture was impossible. What did he do? Possibly you may think that he began to tear his hair and fume. Not at all. He quietly took his pencil and turned the blots into birds. To each blot he gave a beak and a pair of wings—and lo, it was a bird! A glorious way of dealing with troubles. Make them into birds, and get them wings, and then they may even fly away and leave you. Negro Business League of Kansas City. A. E. ESTES, Secretary.

Professor DuBois claims for the "Crisis" is a rapidly increasing circulation, though the size of the magazine remains unchanged and the contents are marked by a doleful monotony. All the dark and discomforting phases of the race question are paragraphed from the south and west, while much space is devoted to the hopeful erudition of the eastern section of the country. The "Crisis" should grow harmoniously and me theoretically and should travel around and see more of the country. Negro school principals are unantious in their disapproval of the lengthened noon hour for the school children. The period is now ninety minutes and the principals declare that it only offers greater chance for the children to loiter upon the streets and fall into mischief. This has been especially noticeable in cases where parents are away from home all day. It is urged that a much shorter period which would encourage a greater number of children to remain at the schools during noon, thus being under the constant supervision of the teachers, would be highly preferable to the present plan. It is announced as a social axiom that no matter how bad a woman may be she is entitled to safety upon the public streets against thugs and other criminals. Now, if the jury can be instructed that no matter how "black" a woman may be she is entitled to the same protection and will receive it, our modern civilization will be getting down to a working form. Since it is a social principle that everything black is bad, the black and bad woman should at least be treated alike. The influential colored politician is now back into his own. The election is over and his courageous wisdom has been vindicated, one way or the other. His glory has departed and his office-seeking "brother" knows him no more for two years. His striped red and black vest, together with his red necktie has been placed in moth balls for a long hibernation. His voice is stilled and the curbstone knoweth him no more. Neither will he get that promised janitorship now, for it has been found that his color will be objectionable to the white clerks around whom he will have to sweep. O, woeful day of days! Hon. Nelson C. Crews, Editor Kansas City Sun, City. Mr. Dear Mr. Crews: I write to congratulate you upon the steady improvement in the Kansas City Sun. It is one of the cleanest and most up-to-date Journals published by our race and reflects great credit upon you and those who contribute to its success. The Sun is a potent factor in the life of Kansas City and we know that in your hands it will rapidly become indispensable to our people. Yours for continued success, GEO. F. PORTER, Agency Director, Standard Life Insurance Co. LAWRENCE COUNTY —That the New Theatre, 2411 Vine street, is showing the finest and best pictures in Kansas City. —That at Dr. Smiths' Easter Opening there will be flowers, music and pretty women galore. —That a certain white man spends a lots of time at a certain lady's house each week. Why? —That there is one Buffet flat in this city where the ladies who serve wear pink pajamas. Oh, Me! —That Dr. Theo. Smith's decorations for his Easter opening are the finest ever seen in Kansas City. —That a certain physician takes more of his medicine than anyone else which is usually rock candy and whisky. —That all those two dollar bills in evidence on Election Day have found their way by the route of the saloon back to the white folks pockets. —That Dr. M. L. Flinn, the polite and efficient drug clerk at Smith's Pharmacy, is an expert on making Tango-Sundaes on a Blazer. —That another well known married lady has a beautiful black eye for Easter which she received "running against a door jamb in the dark." Uh huh. —That there was a hair pulling match last week because one woman charged another perfectly innocent party of being the lady who ran off to Chicago as recounted in our column last week. Now both are wearing handsome new wigs bought at Caldwell & Chapman's popular hair store. EBENEZER GREETS THE NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE WITH A GREAT AUDIENCE. President Weaver of the Negro Business League and the members of that enterprising organization received a splendid welcome by Rev W.C. Williams and his grand church and friends Sunday night, April 5th. The president opened the exercises by giving his hearers a general idea of the true situation of the Negro in the business world. Dr. J. Edgar Dibble was introduced and it is stating it mildly to say that the learned, logical and practical talk he made was able and fully sustained by his past record for wit, facts, statistics, and general information. The race needs more men like Dr. Dibble to stand on the firing line of its cause; men who are workmen indeed, approved of God, and men; men who stand for a square deal, who respect the other fellow's rights, and who without giving offense to any man, holls up high the cause of Negro individuals for ability, for merit and for principles which will assure success to Negro enterprise. Such a careful, candid and courageous talk can but result in lasting impressions of good to all Negro business. Mr. J. A. Wilson, the pioneer jeweler, and J. H. Malone also made remarks which were timely and accept able. Brother Williams' welcome and his pointed sayings served to add importance and dignity to the occasion. Permit us to say that the flying Calvary under Mr. C. A. Franklin and William Hopkins met the congregation of Rev. J. A. Wilson, 1743 Bellview, and it is sufficient to say Franklin made a decided hit with that good people for the cause. Next Sunday, April 12th, Mr. C. A. Franklin and his speakers—Henry Laden, C. H. Countee, John Day and Dr. Herbert Bruce—are booked to appear at the Greenwild Baptist church, Eighteenth and Terrace. Owing to the fact that the churches in general are all anxious for these meetings, the campaign committee decided to have two meetings each week as it would be impossible to reach all with one meeting a week before hot weather. Another meeting is scheduled for the 12th, at Eleventh and Highland Baptist church, with Mr. F. J. Weaver, president, leading, assisted by Mr. J. A. Wilson, master of ceremonies; Speakers: Dr. L. P. Richardson, T. B. Watkins, J. L. Mattson and Dr. L. E. Baller. You members who dwell nearest the above named meeting places are earnestly requested to turn out and aid the greatest cause of this age to you and me by your presence, namely, "The Second Emancipation of the Negro." Yours for Negro Enterprise, E. A. ROBINSON, Sec'y Campaign Committee The Kansas City Sun can be found on sale at the following prominent places: Palace Barber Shop, 19th and Vine streets; Shumacher's News Stand, 18th and Highland; Unthanks' Drug Store, Independence and Harrison; Tucker's News Stand, 12th and Vine. Y. W. C. A. NOTES "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit saith the Lord of Hosts." Zech. 4: 16. World's Y. W. C. A. motto. Our last notes announced to the readers of our column in the "Sun" that Miss Eva D. Bowles, National Secretary for City Association of our young women in the Y. W. C. A., with headquarters in New York City, had arrived and was guest of the Yates Branch, Y. W. C. A. at 5th and State avenue on the Kansas side. Miss Bowles spent twelve busy days, having received a most cordial welcome from our Association women and Mary Louise MRS. LYDIA C. SMITH, the Affable and Aggressive Secretary girls, and also our citizens in general. She came to conduct our finance campaign to meet the current expenses of this year, and to inspire our women and girls in the worldwide movement, "The Young Women's Christian Association." She accomplished both. As speaker of the vesper service at our own Association, Sunday, March 29, she swayed the large audience from beginning to end of that remarkable address on looking upward. The campaign was launched on Monday, March 30, and in nine days, though busy with Association affairs and with several of our workers ill, we realized more than $800 of the $1,000 in subscription which we started out to raise for our budget of $1,500. Several of our workers are yet to report. The campaign closed on Wednesday evening with two of the Smith family (though note related) in the lead. Mrs. J. H. M. Smith and Lydia C. Smith had one hundred fourteen dollars and $121.00 respectively. Mrs. W. G. Wood ran next with $67.00, Mrs. D. F. Harris (who was very ill for a week during the campaign, Mrs. F. K. Douglass, Mrs. Tilford Davis, Jr., Miss Ollie Henderson, Miss Myrtle Jackson, Mrs. H. T. Kealing, Mrs. J. C. Branche, Mrs. J. N. Freeman, Mrs. Dorsey Green, Mrs. J. J. Lewis, Miss Gertrude Lankford, Mrs. E, J. Thompson, Mrs. Fitzhugh Raynes, Mrs. W. Barnett, Mrs. Kate Cummings and Mrs. Ann Scruggs followed as workers. Too much in praise cannot be said of Miss Gertrude Jackson, who gave the Association twelve days in clerical work Mrs. John Hodge, Mrs. S. C. Bucken and Miss Ida May Jones also assisted in office work, giving service as other workers. A. Y. W. C. A, mass meeting was held at the First A. M. E. Church, Rev. Dr. J. R Ransom, pastor, on the evening of March 31. We had a good audience. Miss Brooks was the principal speaker. Mrs. W. G. W. Wood presided. Mrs. Toole gave an instrumental selection; Miss Harlan rendered a solo with Miss Jackson as pianist. Remarks were made by Prof. A. J. Neely, Judge I. F. Bradley, Prof. G. B. Buster and Mr. Thos. Knapper. The Rev. G. L. Prince conducted devotional and the Rev. J. W. Jacobs gave the benediction. Echoes since the meeting evidenced the fact that it proved helpful to the interest of the Y. W. C. A. among our people here. The election of officers of the Board of Management for our Association was held on Tuesday afternoon with more than two-thirds present and resulted as follows: President, Mrs. F. K. Douglass; vice president, Mrs. J. W. Jacobs; recording secretary, Mrs. Dorsey Green; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Thos. H. Dickerson; treasurer, Mrs. J. M. Freeman. Others of the members of the Board of Management are Mrs. W. G. Wood, Mrs. J. M. H. Smith, Mrs. H. T. Kealing, Mrs. W. Sinclair, Mrs. B. C. Scott, Mrs. D. W. White, Mrs. J. H. Claybourne, Mrs. D. F. Harris and Mrs. J. C. Branche. Mrs. Wood presided. Following the parting words of Miss Eva D. Bowles, our National Secretary, to the members of the Board, each of the latter pledged her allegiance to the Association. Miss Bowles left on Wednesday of this week for the West Side Y. W. C. A. in St. Paul, where she is to be the guest of Miss Edith Leonard, the general secretary, During her stay in this city she was domiciled with Mr. and Mrs. P. L. Groomer in N. 6th street. LYDIA C. SMITH, General Secretary. Y. M. C. A. NOTES Next Sunday and the Sunday following will be given over to praise services at the Association rooms, 3:30 p. m. All men are cordially invited to take part. The work on the building is progressing rapidly. The wooden forms for the upright concrete columns and the cross beams are now being set between the first and second floors. In compiling a list of the vocations of the subscribers, including professional, business, tradesmen and laborers, it is found that the employees of the school board subscribed $2,081.50. The largest amount by any one of these was $525; the smallest $4. The bulk of all the subscription made by the school employees has been paid. Other lines and vocations will be given later. The New Theatre The New Theatre, 2411 Vine street, is absolutely the finest and most up to date motion picture house owned and operated by negroes, in the United States. The building is not a made-over house, but was built strictly for a theatre. Since the acquisition of the place by Dr. E. J. McCampbell and Homer B. Roberts, many notable changes have been made. Two cozy corners at the entrance have been inaugurated at no little expense. The one containing a beautiful mirror, 4x8 feet, framed in the finest mahogany, in which you might "see yourself as others see you" from your Easter bonnet down to your shoe tops. On the floor in either corner is a beautiful oriental rug and the walls will be decorated with fine oil paintings from the world's famous artists. The aisles have been carpeted with heavy cocoanut matting and the exits are garnished with heavy green portiers. Also 400 opera chairs, every one commanding a direct view of the curtain. By far the biggest investment in the theatre, cannot be seen by the public, but the result can surely be observed. When this place was opened several months ago, complaints came to the ears of the management of the delay between the pictures. To avoid this delay $600 was spent for new machines, so that now one picture follows another with mechanical precision, without a moment's delay. The service is the best that can possibly be procured. The Universal Film Company is the largest and most up-to-date firm in the movie business. The same pictures are shown to you for 5 cents that the Maze theatre, at 12th and Baltimore, shows to its patrons at 10 cents. Your patronage is solicited. If you enjoy motion pictures you will be pleased if you visit the New Theatre. Sunday, April 12th, in addition to the regular program will be shown "Absinthe," a four-reel picture featuring the "King of the Movies," that handsome and most popular actor, King Baggot. The drink absinthe, or green devil as it is sometimes called, to France bears almost the same relation as opium does to the Chinese nation. It is used by the high and low in France and might almost be called the national drink. Used mildly it acts almost in the same way that whiskey does, but when used to excess it takes a grip upon the victim that is more difficult to loosen than perhaps any other drug. In the taking of one of the scenes of this picture Mr. Baggot was wounded by Miss Baird, the leading lady, who struck him a blow while resisting an attack of the supposed absinthe fiend. The emotional strain upon Miss Baird was terrific and she put herself so completely into the part that she fainted twice during the taking. Mr. Baggot sustained a badly lacerated lip and the loss of a tooth. This four-reel picture cost the Universal Film Company thousands of dollars to produce, and incidentally cost the management of the New Theatre $25 just for this one night. This picture will be educational and beneficial, for while the drug, absinthe, has no hold upon the American people, the realistical portrayal should act as a moral lesson to all and any against the use of alcohol and drugs in general. Don't miss this special feature. This is absolutely your only opportunity to see it. Remember, this is shown in addition to the regular program, so you will see eight reels of the best motion pictures at this time and it will take only a short time to show them with the two machines working with undoubted precision. The admission at this time will be: Adults 10c, children 5c. The pictures start promptly at 6 p. m. The program of the New Theatre for the ensuing week will appear in this paper every Saturday. Watch for it! STITTS LECTURE STITTS LECTURE On April 19th Mr. Stitts will perhaps finish his subject, "Resurrection of the Dead." Not only on this subject but scores of other subjects he is able to throw a flood of light and there are but few can equal him. He has a clear view on the Scripture and speaks evil of no Christian, regardless of denomination. He is calm and considerate in all biblical discussions. He was born July 4, 1880, at Anniston, Ala. (Note—In the last issue the word guber was used instead of qebar, meaning the six-foot space for the dead body.) CRUCIFIXION. By Charles A. Starks. Despised and rejected the lowly Savior came, Bearing the hate of men with His spotless life. Serenely he bore the cross of ill-heaped Fame, And willingly drank the bitterness of sin and strife. Eager to save those of this hatred so rife, He spake not, thus dumb-like reproving the vain. While religious scourges applied the spearing knife, Crucifying Him who with God must reign. Executed, dead and buried this solemn fact, Too brief! But how beyond all mortal pain. Ingratitude and envy had done their last act, They thought to villify Him whom they now had slain. Placed in a sepulcher where man ne'er lain, They thought to bury truth with a massive rock. But immortal life threw off this stain, Hence the victory over the grave and death made a mock. Arise! Arise! Oh truth, heaven saw and heard! Angels descended and rolled the stone away. This must have been because it was the Word That was to rise on that glorious day. He had said: "I am life, thus beyond decay, Rising in Eternal being, his work was done. From now, only the spirit was to play. Now Father is glorified in the glory of the Son. Ascension. O' Gallieans, what marvel do ye behold, As you gaze so steadily on Heaven's bright blue? Is your Master, forsaking His dear bought fold? Not so! Only hiding himself from mortal view. Immortality claims its own, the time is due, Christ takes the one Heavenward flight And stamping spirit on time, proving truth true He loses himself to all fleshly sight.

Sun | NAPOLEON SMITH | ‘| Real Estate Promoter || : | ll Lm ee nae eae ee of the modest Smith residence at a 004 round clip, for he had his usual fcant weconds to catch the elght twentyeven. An elastic stop at his aide suddenly swung into pertect ac- cord with his heel and toe rhythm, and a young voice, which nevertheless sounded like that of a “regular man,” dade him a very cheerful good morn- ing. “Mr. Hammond, 1 want a job,” was the next remark of the voice. Captain ‘Hammond frowned and turned to find himself looking slightly upward, straight into the grin of young Na- poleon Smith, Now the grin of young Napoleon was the most infectious and ingra- tlating joy ever devised, Meeting the grin, Captain Ham- mond relaxed and emiled in spite ot ‘himself. “What can you dot" he asked. “Hustle,” stated young Smith in re ply to the question This time Captain Hammond laughed outright, “That's the most valuable asset you can own,” he declared. “Your name's Smith, tén't 12” Napoleon admitted that it was, ‘The cight twenty-seven just then whistled for Briarscot, and both men started to run. “But about that job?” suggested young Smith again. “Oh, yes,” sald the captain, and un- consciously he frowned once more. “I don't know of a thing at our pluce. You say you've had'no business ex- perience at all?” “None that I care to tell about,” re- plied the other, smiling reminiscently. “All through college I served as a cor- Tespondent for various papers, and through vacations I worked on gen- eral assignments on the Courier. 1 could go to work on the paper now, but the occupation doesn't seem to promise much of a future.” ‘The captain nodded his head with a Jerk. “Choosing a profession {s like mak. ing a wise investment," he said. “I understand your father's estate didn't cut up quite so well as was expected?” “No,” returned young Smith cheer- fully, “It totaled to exactly nothing, and ‘nothing to carry, You don't think, then, that there is anything In your plac?” “Not just now,” eald the captain. “However, 1 shall bear you in mind.” Captain’ Hammond strode into his voffice and fred off his usual morning question. “Where's Bluffing?” “Not down yet,” sald the girl of the straw-colored hair, slightly worried. About half an hour later, Bluffing, a young man with a big straw hat and puffs under his eyes strolled in, smok- ing a cigarette, and, after a moment's seliberation, decided that hé might as well work as not, “Mr, Bluffing,” said the captain, “Ta like to remind you that the address of this office ts 710 Green street, and that we look forward with pager anticipa- tion to the pleasure of your society Detween the hours of nine and twelve ‘and one and five. If those hours seem 4 trifle inconvenient to you, you might state so in writing and I'll put the Jatter up to the board of directors.” “Very sorry, Mr. Hammond,” said Bluffing with 'a wink at the straw- haired girl. “You see, we got caught doa jam at—" “E don’t give a continental what held you,” responded Mr, Hammond. “The point is that we want you here at nine o'clock, with no excuse short of a broken leg.” On The ‘econd mail an excessively large order soothed the captain some what, and at noon the arrival of a tall, ‘bluckhaired young lady with o color in her cheeks which never came from a chemist’s shop, soothed him still more. “T suppose you have a lot of old Dusiness engagements for luncheon, haven't you, daddy? Now tell me yes,” she said, “But I am going to tell you no,” re plied the captain, all emiles. “Then,” she Informed him with a ‘mock courtesy, “I am going to allow you to buy some cclairs and things for a stunning young lady to whom you may point with pride.” “By George, Margie,” said the cap tain, now as gentle as any suckling lamb, “how you have developed! ‘There is just a Little bit of a pang in ‘that last remark of yours.

Philander very oblig- on Hesiod and started he doesn’t like the name very much, so we call it to him all the time.” “You know him pretty well, then?” “Why, he fairly haunts our front porch! “Haven't you seen him there?” “No.” “Yes, you have, I know; but you're a fine, trustful daddy, and you never put a microscope on the young men I bring around.” “What sort of a fellow is this Pole Smith?” he asked. “Why, daddy, he's a regular, sure- for-truly, cross-my-heart, hope-T-may die fellow.” He looked at her in affectionate wonder. “If you had all those words in your system, I am glad you got them out,” said he, “By the way, I formed about the same Impression of your Pole Smith that you've given me. He's good to look at, and I've been remem- bering that wonderful grin of his all morning, It's Ike a drink of good wine.” “He's a perfectly grand grinner; ho fnvented It, I think,” agreed Marjorie, and they went to lunch, ‘That evening, just before closing time, Hammond looked suddenly up from his memoranda and enapped: “Bluffing, did you see about securing that adjoining tract of land for tho extension of the Eureka Works?” “Why—no,” faltered Mr. Bluffing, “I haven't seen to it yet.” “You haven't!" roared Haiamond, “Bluffing, I am going to pain you. Go do business with the cashier, and don't bother to come back and shake hands. Good-by.” ‘That evening, after having accepted the angry resignation of the girl with the straw-colored hair, the captain took a train 15 minutes earlier than his accustomed one, and stopped at the gray cottage of the Smiths’ on his way up to his own big stone residence at the end of the boulevard. In answer to bis ring a very pretty brown- hatred girl came to the door, and Cap- tain Hammond, whose heart was growing younger through the da$’s ex- perience, fairly beamed upon her. “My goodness me! And you're one of the grown-up Smith children, too, aren't you?” he said, as one awaken- ing to a startling discovery. “Yes, Captain Hammond,” she re- plied, dimpling, "I'm June.” * “Where's your brother?” “Ob, he's up at your house playing tennis, I think, We were just going up to join them,” and she looked back over her shoulder and smiled, as a chubby young fellow of about twenty- two strolled out hatless and saluted the captain with a flourish of his hand, “Hell, Peters!” said the captain; “you're a great one. I never see you twice with the same girl.” “Hush!” said Billy Peters in a care- ful burlesque of a confidential under- tone, “I don't dare encourage any of them too much.” And he gave a fine imitation of a man yawning. “Some of these days, my boy,” warmed the captain, laughing, “you're going to be 60 hard hit that it will make a man of you. By the way, June, I'm suddenly so énterested in all you young people that I forgot my er- rand, I understand that your brother is looking for a position.” “Oh, no!” she said, beaming with sisterly pride, "he found one this morning.” Then the captain, who usually tried to be most circumspect in the com- pany of ladies, forgot himself, “Hell!” he said. Napoleon Smith had “scouted” in perhaps a dozen places before a good Samaritan led him to the offices of Forsythe and Spencer. They called themselves promoters, did Forsythe and Spencer, although they chiefly promoted real estate deals and would follow a dollar through Hades, or un til they had annexed it, Forsythe's hatr, face, mustache and beard were the color of a dish of ice cream, and he looked up at one through shrewd old eyes which bored down through the soul to the pockets. “Yes, Mr. Smith,” he quavered in his high-pitched and nasal voice, “we do need a man, but I’m afraid from what you tell me that you haven't had enough business experience.” “Assuming that you are correct,” he said, “how much money would you be willing to pay me?” “Ten dollars a week.” Napoleon grinned. Forsythe liked that grin; he knew it had commercial value, and he waited with concealed anxiety for the answer. “And what would I be expected tc dor” “Anything you're told." “No,” decided Mr. Smith. “One gets more money for that. We'll say abou 25 dollars, and even then there'd have to be reservations.” Around the corners of Forsythe's mouth there came an unfamilia twitch, and after @ hard struggle the corners turned upward, “I gee,” he said. “Well, Mr. Smith, ‘suppose we leave the question of salary an open one.

He hurried back to the station, where there was a public ‘phono, and called up Panz’s office. “I understand you have a tract of land for sale at Hammondville,” he observed, “I couldn't tell you about that,” said the clerk at the other end. “Who's this speaking?” “Smith, of Forsythe and Spencer's office.” “Oh! Yl find out about it right away, Mr. Smith.” Then a moment later: “We no longer have control of that tract. It was sold yesterday.” “To whom?" “To the Consolidated Hame-ring Manufacturing company, which we understand intends to erect an ex- tensive plant there.” “Good,” said Smith, “Thank you,” and he rang off. “Who owns that piece of property to the west of the Eureka iron mills?” ho asked the station agent, “Mrs. McGundy,” said the lantern- jawed station agent, scraping his finger nail tenderly over his nose, “She lives in that sky-blue house just to the end of the frog pond.” Napoleon hurried away to the little blue house, where he found Mrs. Mc- Gundy to be a globular person cut into two hemispheres by an apron string. “Mrs, McGundy,” queried Napoleon, “do you wish to sell your land over here?” “Show me the man that will buy it?” said she. “I eurely could part with it without breaking my heart. Twenty years ago, when Jim bought It for @ song, It was supposed that if we held on to it for 20 years it would be worth all the money in the mint, but in all that time never have I seen the man that would ever be wanting that land, unless {t would be Captain Hammond, But he don't want it Twice 1 have gone myself to sell It to him, and twice he gave me to un- derstand that if he bought any land it would be the other piece, You're not répresenting Captain Hammond?” No,” eald Napoleon brisky. “What will you take for the land?” “Well, there's 20 acres, and it's worth, Jim always said, 200 dollars an acre, That's $4,000. Give me that and I'll take the next steamer for Dublin.” + “T’can’t give you the four thousand cash,” said Smith, “but I'll give you one thousand cash, and a mortgage note on the balance, payable in 60 days. You can wait ‘the two monthe for the collection of that note, or you can probably discount it” “Let me understand that,” said Mrs. McGundy, He carefully explained to her about the mortgage note, and with each period she nodded her round gray head emphatically. “It sounds well,” she said, “and you seem lke an honest boy. But before I say aye, yes, or no, I'll go in and see Mr. McShane of McShane and McShane. Do you know Mr. Me- Shane?" Mr. Smith was unfortunate enough never to have had that pleasure, and he expressed himself contritely about it “What time does tho next train go?” he wanted to know, “Can you come to town with me right now?” Mrs. McGundy looked him over carefully, and glanced at the clock. “Lord love you, boy!" she said. “What a ragin’, tearin’ hurry you're int Oh, well, it’s been many a long day since I took a jaunting with a handsome-looking young fellow like yourself, and I think I'll treat myself to it just this onee. There's a train goes in about 20 minutes, Do you go down to the station and wait, and in due time I'll come along with my best bib and tucker on.” ° Napoleon lost no time in getting down to the station, and lost no time, furthermore, in calling Captain Ham- mond by ‘phone, “This is young Smith, Captain Ham- mond,” said he. “I want to borrow a thousand dollars.” “Oh, you do?” inquired the captain. “On what security?” “Mortgage on our house,” returned Napoleon crisply. “When do you want it” | “Within an hour or so, Captain, 1 want you to let me have the check this morning and let me fix up the mortgage with you tomorrow,” “It isn't business, but I’ll do it,” agreed the captain after some hesita- tion, “But would you mind telling me what you want it for?” “Ob, 1 have @ littlé real estate op- portunity.” | The captain pondered a moment, : “You want to'be careful about that,” he warned. “Real estate deals are not season when the larger bucks become victous, and a number of them were shot.

You have purchased it, and I presume intend to sell it to him at an increased price, Now, we might ‘arrange to fix the price between For- ‘sythe and Spencer and yourself, and you and us split the profits.” Napoleoh paused for an extra spe- lal grin. “No, L resign,” he stated, “That's a still better scheme. Now I'll sell yon that land for $6,000 cash.” In vast pain Mr. Forsythe eventually was compelled to call up Mr. Ham- mond, and inform that gentleman that the land for his extension would cost him the modest sum of $6,000, “Buy it," directed Hammond. | “I might add,” said Mr, Forsythe with a malignant glance at his ex-em- ploye, “that the property in question is at present owned by young Smith, formerly in our employ, but today re- signed.” “Smith!” exclaimed Hammond. “Is he in your office now? It he is, put him on the ‘phone.” And if Mr, For- sythe indicated the captain’s desire to Napoleon, he could hear the captain, at the other end of the wire, saying to himself: “Well, Ill be damned!” “Look here," demanded the captain of young Smith, “did you actually have the nerve to borrow that thou- sand dollars from me this morning to buy the very plece of property you knew I wanted, 60 as to compel me to pay you a two:thousand-dollar profit on the loan?” “That's right, captain,” admitted Napoleon cheerfully, “Well, Smith, don’t you think that was a little ungrateful and unfriendly? Don’t you think you stepped over the bounds of both business and social ethics?” “By no means,” sald Napoleon. “You told me yourself, just the other night, that business knows no friendship, and that a dollar has no sentiments or emotions, Moreover, captain, I in- tend to retrieve the reputation my father made with you for allowing his feelings to interfere with business. Do you want this property at six thou- sand?” “Of course I do, you young ingrate,” sald the captain. “AN right,” laughed Napoleon. “T'll be right over, thank you.” “Thank nothing!” snorted the cap- tain. “I ought to have you arrested.” ‘That night as the captain sat in the Ubrary, Marjorle came in to use the telephone, and paused behind her father’s chair to pull his ears. “Who's that you have with you on the porch, Margie?” he asked, “Pole Smith,” she informed him. “He's just telling me all about how well he's going to like business, Ho says he made $2,000 in one deal to- day.” “Yes, confound it, he did!” exploded the captain. “He made it out of my pocket and borrowed my money to do it with.” $ Her laugh upon that was delicious; 80 much so that the captain stopped to listen to {t in positive Joy, all his annoyances of the day forgotten. “I guess I'm a lemon,” he confessed, laughing with her. “A nickel’s. worth of them,” she woman in Leesville who wants us to tell the truth about him or her stand up and we'll try to be accommodat- ing.” ‘ Air Purifier.

Messenger Lindsay was fifty-nine years old, having been appointed in the government service when a youth of seventeen years. Lindsay was born in 1855, the property of the Temple family of Fredericksburg, Va. Miss Temple, one of the daughters of the family, who now lives in Richmond, Va., never came to Washington without calling on the old family slave, whom she held in great esteem and watched over. It was during the Civil war that Lindsay first made acquaintance with the army, with which he was to be associated for the rest of his life. In 1865, when ten years old, he used to sell pies to the soldiers of the army, encamped near Fredericksburg. One of the veterans of that campaign, now an official of the war department, tells of an attack of indigestion which he charges against a bit of pastry bought from Lindsay. A year ago Lindsay made his first appearance as an actor. In the role of himself, playing the part of a messenger to the commanding officer of the army, in a playlet written by Captain McCoy of the army, he appeared when the play was presented at the dinner of the Carabao society. Lindsay saw service in Cuba during the Spanish-American war. Detached from the war department he accompanied General Bell, in command of the army of pacification, and was his personal attendant throughout the campaign. Appointed a laborer in the war department July 1, 1872, Lindsay was given a fireman's job November 1, the same year, July 17, 1879, he was made a messenger. Transferred to the door of the adjutant general of the army, at that time the commanding officer of the military service, November 4, 1879, Lindsay was given the rank of an assistant messenger because of the change of service. June 16, 1893, he became a messenger at $840 a year. When the office of adjutant general of the army lost its directing influence, and the office of chief of staff was created, Lindsay was transferred from the one office to the other, maintaining his dignity and responsibilities. He was relieved for temporary duty in Cuba October 6, 1906, when he accompanied General Bell. He resumed his duties as messenger January 3, 1907. Lindsay served as messenger and personal attendant to every adjutant general of the army from incumbency of General Drum to that of General Corbin, and-of every chief of staff of the army since that time. Not many years ago Russia was a strong rival of the United States in the production of petroleum. Now the Russian empire yields only about 68 per cent as much old as California alone, and not much more than Oklahoma. Two carpenters and a plumber from England have recently been traveling in Belgium. Vocational scholarships were awarded to them, by means of which they are investigating old and new methods of house construction. The colored man in America has gone through the same experiences as the white man. He gave 250 years of unrequited toll to build up the nation. In the Revolutionary war Crisp Attuces, a mulatto, was the first man to shed his blood that white men might be really free. One hundred and nine of the 425 dawntess sailors who fought with Perry at the battle of Lake Erie were colored men. Nearly 200,000 colored soldiers fought with white men in the slaveholders' rebellion in defense of their common country. In the Spanish-American war the colored troopers did their duty splendidly at El Caney. From a little farm owned by John Jones, a former slave in Shelby county, Tenn., has come to the Supreme court of the United States the question of whether former slaves are entitled to inherit from their brothers and sisters who likewise were in servitude. The supreme court of Tennessee had held that ex-slaves have no inheritable blood. One of John Jones' brothers has taken the case to the United States Supreme court seeking a reversal. It is estimated that 75 per cent of the laws have to do with the home in some way. The United States has become the heaviest buyer of South African diamonds. A bill providing for women judges in the children's court has been introduced in the New York legislature. Margaret E. McNamara has been appointed chief matron of the Industrial School for Girls at Delaware, Ohio. Changes In Geography. Should the scheme proposed by Isle of Wight councillors for a tunnel to the mainland go through the island will merely be reverting to its ancient bond of union. For there is the evidence, not only of geology—convincing enough—but of a Sicilian writer, who speaks of lctis as a market for tin, the theory being that lctis is the sale of Wight, and that an overland route existed just before the beginning of the Christian era, by which the tin was brought from Cornwall. E eaten in Poland. Good Friday, dressed in mourning, the women go to church and pray for an hour. The grave of Christ is always represented at the church, and it is before this prayers are said. Saturday, too, is spent in fasting and prayer. Easter Sunday the great luncheon, or "swieceny," as it is called in Polish, takes place. At the castles of the nobility refreshments are prepared for hundreds of guests. The tables are laden with cold meats, pigs roasted whole, various kinds of sausages and great cakes, or "haba," which are always eaten at Eastertide. During the afternoon visitors call. It is the custom of the host and hostess to meet their guests at the door with a plate of eggs, each visitor takes a small piece and the greeting of the day, "Hallelujah," is exchanged. On the day preceding this luncheon the food is blessed by the priest. As the castle is usually the center of the community, the peasants or farmers bring their food there. When the priest blesses the castle luncheon he also bestows a blessing upon the food of the servants and peasants in the lower hall. During the entire week following Easter Sunday visitors are invited to partake of the cold dishes on the Easter luncheon table, which is replenished as necessity arises. Landowners receive gifts from the peasants on their estates at Eastertide. One may bring his best calf, another his fattest pig, and a woman her largest chicken or duck. In turn the peasants receive presents of money and other valuables. The children play with eggs on Easter Sunday in much the same manner they do on the White House lawn in Washington. In Austria-Hungary the same ceremony is observed, with the exception of the great luncheon. Always on Good Friday the emperor and his court attend divine service for an hour. Easter in France is primarily a floral celebration. The flower market along the Seine is redolent with the perfume of lilies and other as fragrant, though less stately blooms. Every one wears a flower at Eastertide, and poor indeed is the household that does not display a floral symbol of "the resurrection and the life." It is not one of the great celebrations of France, but is decidedly a children's day. Of course, it is a legal holiday and the banks, government buildings and schools are closed. There are the usual religious services to be found in a Catholic country. The Parisian child makes mery with Easter eggs, which are generally painted in vivid colors. For the children of the wealthier class are eggs of chocolate and sugar, either solid candy or hollowed out so as to conceal pretty favors in the form of small toys. In Italy, Easter is quite the most important religious festival of the year and a time of public and private rejoicing. In Rome on Easter Sunday and for several days afterward religious processions are to be seen on the streets. Dignitaries of the church, clad in gorgeous raiment, march from church to church, blessing the baptismal fonts and rekindling the altar fires that were extinguished on Good Friday in memory of the death of Christ. A unique ceremony marks the observance of Holy week in Florence, Italy. It is probable this ceremony will be discontinued before many years because of the fatalities and serious accidents which have occurred in recent years. At noon on Saturday of Holy week a ceremony called the "scoppio del carro" (the explosion of the car) takes place in the Plaza del Duomo, just in front of the Battistero. It is in fulfilment of a provision in the will of the de Pazzi family, an ancient Florentine household, certain members of which brought flints from the holy land with which to kindle the fires on the altars at Easter. The "car," which resembles an altar and is nearly as large as a small frame house, is drawn to the square before the cathedral by a team of white oxen, where it is filled with fireworks and dressed in mourning, the women go to church and pray for an hour.

A map printed for the purpose of defining the distribution of the northern white tailed deer, the representative of the race above the continental divide, shows that within recent years the animal has come almost to the outskirts of Detroit, the Toledo Blade states. It would seem that it still which street York to south northwester of Ohio, will for many hunters, the that follow closed the A woman lives in Philadelphia who has seen three centuries; who has been an eye witness of the changes they have brought; who has herself been most thrillingly affected by them. Her name is Mrs. Kate Whitehurst, and her century and more of life was most of it lived as a slave in the South long years before there was a dream of questioning seriously the rights of slavery to exist. Her home is at 2237 Oxford street with her daughter, Mrs. Caroline Mitchell. She is still able to move about, although feebly, for she suffered a serious nervous shock a few weeks ago, when fire broke out right in her bedroom, and she was saved by policemen when she was not very far from suffocation. She is known to be in her one hundred and fourteenth year, but she may be somewhat older, and one estimate gave her age as one hundred and seventeen. But the recollection of her age by a daughter of her old master in the South, based on the record in her sales papers as a slave, is that she was born at the end of the eighteenth century, and she may be the senior by a few months of Aunt Mahala Ayers, whose one hundred and fourteenth birthday celebration has been planned as an event this year at the Home for Aged Colored People. Mrs. Whitehurst's own memory of dates in her long Life carries her back as far as 1811, when the great comet, from whose year the most famous wines of Europe have been dated, was visible and gravely at frightening all over the world. "I saw the great star fall," she says, when she refers to that overshadowing event in her childhood, the one thing which could leave an indefinite impression on the mind of a girl slave not yet in her teens, when all the ignorant, startled around her lived in terror of the great star's fall. She still sees herself standing in the midst of other skives, at night under the soft southern sky, staring up at the awful portent and wondering, while her elders in that doubly hapless horde argued its consequences of pestilence and war. PRACTICAL TRAINING FOR GIRLS. 1 Hampton girls are taught to do plain hand and machine sewing, cut, fit and make dresses, trim hats, weave rugs and select house furnishings. Tuskegee institute was opened July 4, 1881, in a rented church, a mere shanty, with 30 pupils and one teacher. To bring a school with such a beginning as that up to what it is now, and to gain for it a more than national reputation in the lifetime of one man, is a marvelous work. Back of it all is a master mind. There are scores of well-trained teachers, preachers (from Phelps Hall Bible training school), farmers, mechanics, trained nurses, seamstresses and good housekeepers sent out every years from this school, carrying with them the spirit of Tuskegee to uplift the race. Wyoming mines and oil wells in 1913 had an output valued at $37,000,000, and live stock gave the state's ranchers revenues totaling more than $35,000,000. Gas City, Kan., has a population of 1,200, but abolished the office of city marshal for the reason that there has been nothing for him to do in a long time. Boston is planning to establish municipal lodging houses. There are two wage-earning women to every five wage-earning men in Great Britain. In Denver a woman can sign her husband's name to a check even when the bank account is in the latter's name. Vancouver recently received a shipment of 125 cub foxes from Skagway, Alaska, valued at $100,000. Sweden this year will import coal from Spitzbergen. At low water the carts were able to cross the Solent to the Phoenician galleys lying at anchor in Rickster Cove. One must not forget that in the sixth century the Island of Jersey, now separated from the mainland by a gulf of waters, was linked to France by a plank bridge.—London Chronicle.

TO REACH THE HOLY FIRE=HOLY SEPULCHRE CHURCH ASTER in foreign lands is the gala day of the year and is celebrated with a zest rarely found in this country, where the chief features of the occasion are choral services and Dame Fashion's parade of Easter finery.

EASTER SUNDAY AMONG THE ARMENIANS occurs in that part of Ontario bordering Lake Erie, and in the northern part of the southern peninsula of Michigan, to mention only sections near by where it is known. But over all that sweep of country which stretches from eastern New York to southern Minnesota, including northwestern Pennsylvania, the whole of Ohio, wild deer have not been seen for many years. Agriculture, the hunters, the lumbermen and the fire that follows the lumbermen have closed the region to the white tailed. CATHEDRAL OF TOURS decorated with flowers. A wire is stretched from the car to the altar in the cathedral. At the conclusion of the service a wooden device known as a "dove," traveling over the wire on a wheel and bearing a small fuse, is lighted from the sacred fire on the alter. It rushes down the wire to the car filled with combustibles. The explosion that follows is a wonderful pyrotechnic display. The peasants in and near Florence attach considerable importance to the explosion of the "car," and especially to the uninterrupted descent of the "dove" down the wire; if everything transpires without a hitch, they consider it an omen of plentiful crops the rest of the year. Abounding in quaint customs and strange ceremonies Mexico upholds her reputation in her Easter celebration. The day is a day of vengeance—not upon the living, but upon the numberless images of Judas Iscarlot, the betrayer of Christ. All over the country countless images of Judas are made, generally in peasant clothes, with ropes fastened around their necks. Amid the hooks and jeers of the crowd the images are swung aloft and hung. As they swing to and fro stones and knives are hurled at them; out in the provinces the figures are riddled with bullets until they are literally cut to ribbons. Sometimes an image is stuffed with cigarettes, confections and trinkets, strung aloft and exploded from a fuse running to the ground. The contents are scattered in the explosion, of course, and the grown-ups as well as the children scramble for the flying gifts. The ceremonies really begin with Thursday evening of Holy week, when the "visita de la siete casas," or the calling of the seven houses or churches, is held. The populace on this occasion visit seven or more churches—there must be seven at the lowest—and pray. All the churches are decorated, and there is considerable rivalry as to which has the most gorgeous altar. On the afternoon of Good Friday there is a service called "la siete palabras," or the seven words, referring to the seven words of Christ on the cross. All women attending this service are dressed either in mourning or in somber colors. In the evening, attired in the same manner, they attend a service called "pesame," a service of condolence and mourning. On Saturday morning the "gloria" service is held, after which comes the hanging of the effigies of Judas. In the afternoon the people attend the theaters or a bull fight if the weather is not too warm for the latter. On Easter day proper the celebration is almost entirely a religious one. Easter is the holiday of holidays in Russia. This is partly due to the fact that Easter is the first celebration of the spring season, and the warm weather naturally draws people to the out-of-doors.

Easter day the emperor receives the members of his household, his bodyguard and representatives from the officers and soldiers of the regiments stationed in and near St. Petersburg. Easter is a joyful occasion for the children. For two or three days previous their elders dye eggs for them, much as is done in this country. Easter the children roll them and play with them. It is also the custom to exchange eggs, and many people carry a few with them to present to their friends after the church service. The children play with their eggs for a week after Easter and sometimes longer.

Another phase of the Russian celebration of Easter is to be found not in Russia, but in Palestine. Thousands upon thousands of pilgrims, from Russia, but also from other parts of the world as well, assemble on the banks of the river Jordan on Easter morning to bathe in the same waters in which Christ was baptized. As the rays of the rising sun gild the tops of the mountains of Moab a shout of "Hosanna" bursts forth with one accord from every throat, followed by song. Baptismal robes are drawn on and the people rush into the stream. The Russian government has erected hospices for the pilgrims all along their line of march. Easter in Jerusalem is a great occasion. At the Church of the Holy Sepulchre the ceremony of the descent of the holy fire is celebrated on Saturday. All lights in the church are extinguished at a certain hour and the worshipers stand praying that the holy fire be sent down from heaven. Two high priests go down into the sacred sepulchre, suddenly lights appear in the tomb, and other priests hand down candles, which are returned to them lighted. These candles are then carried to the various churches in the city to light their altar candles, and, in fact, there have been instances wherein they have been carried all the way back to Russia by pilgrims. On Palm Sunday a great service is held in the church, at the conclusion of which the worshipers stream forth shouting "Hosanna!" and waving their palm branches. The most remarkable feature of the Easter celebration in Jerusalem, however, is the march of the pilgrims through the Vla Dorosura. Many thousands of persons from all over the world participate in this march, following the course taken by Christ in his journey to the cross on Calvary. Good Friday in Spain, especially in Seville, is the day on which the various guilds and societies and the monks array themselves in fantastic garb and parade the streets as mummers. They bear before them huge standards, crosses, images of the Virgin Mary and queer symbolic devices. In other sections of the country the parade takes the form of a carnival of flowers; queens of the carnival are chosen and they are fed with all the homage usually shown a real sovereign. Vast sums, secured by popular subscription, are expended upon the parades. The images of the virgin are garbed in robes and jewels that cost thousands of dollars. The beautiful service in St. Mark's cathedral is by far the chief feature of the Easter celebration in Venice. The worshippers come to the church in gondolas literally covered with flowers. The entire scene is a riot of color and blooms. In the afternoon every one bears a supply of food to the square in front of the cathedral and scatters it broadcast to the countless flocks of pigeons that fly about the stately edifice. are also eaten during the week after Easter, and always served to visitors who may call.

Many thousands of persons from all over the world participate in this march, following the course taken by Christ in his journey to the cross on Calvary. Good Friday in Spain, especially in Seville, is the day on which the various guilds and societies and the monks array themselves in fantastic garb and parade the streets as mummers. They bear before them huge standards, crosses, images of the Virgin Mary and queer symbolic devices. In other sections of the country the parade takes the form of a carnival of flowers; queens of the carnival are chosen and they are fed with all the homage usually shown a real sovereign. Vast sums, secured by popular subscription, are expended upon the parades. The images of the virgin are garbed in robes and jewels that cost thousands of dollars. The beautiful service in St. Mark's cathedral is by far the chief feature of the Easter celebration in Venice. The worshippers come to the church in gondolas literally covered with flowers. The entire scene is a riot of color and blooms. In the afternoon every one bears a supply of food to the square in front of the cathedral and scatters it broadcast to the countless flocks of pigeons that fly about the stately edifice. --- --- now roaming at will almost to the banks of Thoreau's beloved Concord. Strict game laws and a humane interest in these former inhabitants have served to bring this about. It will be interesting to people who care for such things to watch if deer, recovering their boldness and widening their present narrowed range, venture again to seek a living within the borders of Ohio. In the British museum there is to be seen the first envelope ever mada. When Grumpus Struck Us A man in a coat and hat walks past two men. "Cheer up," said Mr. Gladstone, As he and Grumpus met; "Cheer up," said Mr. Gladsome. As they parted: "whispering." Who can tell what joy, what blessings. Fate may be to tomorrow bring? Yes, before the sun goes down. You may strut around the town. The special pet of fortune and as proud as any king." Next day when Mr. Gladsome And the happy Grumps met, Mr. Gladsome's heart was heavy. He was prone to snarl, to fret; Every minute he got sadder. Every hour he got madder. He was envious of Grumps, who had struck it rich, you bet. CANDID 'OPINION If a widower doesn't buy his wife's tombstone till after the first year of his bereavement he is pretty sure to save money on it. Love is made in the same old way, but every boy thinks he has hit upon an important improvement. Man's superiority over animals is further shown by the fact that they can't swear when they get mad. Most men would rather have money here and fame when they go where there are no dollar-marks. All the literature that has been made to order wouldn't cover a mosquito's left hind foot. Rebuked. The Bostonian who had opened a grocery in St. Louis; was called to the telephone in great haste. "Does some one wish to speak to Mr. Perkins?" he asked. "Yes," said the young lady at the other end of the wire, "mamma wishes me to tell you that she wants the eggs she ordered this morning very bad." "I am sorry," replied the obliging gentleman, "that we have not, to my knowledge, a bad egg in the house. Couldn't your mother possibly use good ones?" "Dear me!" he said, hanging up the receiver, "I wonder why she rang in my ear that way?" Justly Condemned "What an unfortunate contretemps that was of Mrs. Goldthwaite's at the Rockingham's last night." "I know it. I was tellin' Josiah on the way home that I was surprised that a woman who's the mother of grown-up daughters should of wore such a thing, and with her long neck, too." Ah. Me! "Did you have a pleasant voyage?" "No," sighed the beautiful American heiress. "It was one of the saddest experiences of my life. There were two counts and a duke aboard, but the weather was so rough that they never came out of their rooms." HIS HARD LUCK. "I read in one of the papers the other day," said Mrs. Henpeck, "that a Pittsburgh man has just discovered that his wife secured a divorce from him ten years ago." A "Heavens!" replied Mr. Henpeck. "Ten years of joy taken right out of the poor felkow's life." Consolation. The things you wished for as a boy Would, if you had them, yield no joy; Cheer up—the joys denied today May, when you're eighty-one or two, And bent and weary-limbed and grar, Have not a single charm for you. In Old Missouri. "I beg your pardon," said the polite stranger; "can you direct me to the foundry?" "Which one," asked the Missouri lady; "hash or iron?" Farthest Limit "Henpeck doesn't dare to say his soul's his own." "It's worse than that. His wife even tips the waiter when they go out to lunch together." The Ruling Passion: "How was it that Mrs. Dubbs paid so much more for the same article than you did?" "Oh, she got hers in a bargain sale rush." Mixed. "How do you like my biscuits, hubby? I got the recipe out of a paper." "Well, my dear, I found a button in one and a feather in another. Maybe you got the cooking recipe mixed with the fashion hints." Of Course "That fellow Smith has his wife well trained," said Mr. Gabb. "Yes," replied Mrs. Gabb. "He can make her do almost anything that she wants to do."—Cincinnati Enquirer.
