The Corner Stone of the Colored Y.M.C.A. will be Laid May 31 A FEARLESS DEFENDER OF THE RACE VOLUME VI. NUMBER 38. Oswald Garrison Villard Speaks National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has Master Meeting. Seemingly it was an audience of sober-minded people who listened to the extended address of Oswald Garrison Villard at the Second Baptist Church of Wednesday evening the 13th. No doubt many allowed their minds to revert back to that period of our national life when William Lloyd Garrison courageously and uncompromisely fought to overthrow that inhuman institution known as slavery. Now, they thought here is Garrison's grandson fifty years after in our very midst, equally courageous and protesting against the outrages perpetrated against this same people in the multiform segregations and deprivations numerous beyond naming. The several hundred people which greeted the speaker felt a sense of gratitude even in being here and attested this in a close attentiveness and hearty approval of all that was said. Mr. Villard indicted this country's indifference to the Negro's education and its crime against the Afro-American's civil rights. He called attention to the Association's effective work in checking segregation at Washington in governmental departments and a score of other important cases in which the organization successfully aided the Negro's cause. He urged as a solution the co-operation of the whites and blacks in stamping out hate and race prejudice. Mr. J. Dallas Bower, recent from the Post Conference, supplemented with a brief address. Mr. Woody Jacobs presided while the Church's symphony Choir rendered several selections which were well accepted. CHARLES A. STARKS. Note—Ex-Mayor Beardsley introduced the speaker and at the close of the meeting quite a few persons joined the organization. BLIND BOONE'S CONCERT. Colored Pianist Gives Wonderful Exhibition at Park Church Before Packed House. Standing room was at a premium last evening at the Park church, the auditorium, galleries and parlor beings filled with eager spectators to listen to the concert given by the Blind Boone Concert Company. This was a concert of unusual merit from a musical standpoint, and everyone felt doubly repaid for going. The company is made up of John W. Boone, who of course is the principal member; Mr. John Lange, his manager; Miss Jessie Borsius, mezzo soprano, and Miss Melissa Fuell, Soprano. Miss Borsius was sick and unable to appear. Mr. Boone himself needs no introduction to a Bloomington audience as he has delighted Bloomingtonians before with his playing. His playing is marvelous and most artistic and he is one of the most wonderful pianists of recent years. His play is wonderful if he were not blind, but the fact that he cannot see a tung makes him a phenomenon and a wonder. Mr. Boone after hearing any composition played on the piano can go at once to a piano and reproduce it without a single mistake. Another marked feature of his work is that he can play almost any song in the exact register of the vence of the singer; his ear is so true that he can detect the quality of the voice in an instant. Boone exhibited a musical talent from a very young child. He lost his eyesight when but six months old from an attack of brain fever. His first instrument was a tin whistle up on which he could play any ordinary tune. Next he was given a mouth organ with which he charmed the whole neighborhood in which he lived. He was sent to a school for the blind in St. Louis and later through the interest taken in him by Mr John Lange, his first and only man ager, was given some musical instruction. He is of a happy disposition, or a charitable nature. This is his thirty third season on the road. Boone's program of last night included some heavy numbers, among them being the "German Triumphal March," by Lizzt; the Military Polonaise, by Chopin, and the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 6, by Lizzt. He played two of his own compositions, "Dream Waltz" and "The Tornado." He also gave imitations of several musical instruments. A chief feature of interest was when Mrs. Eugene Pitts, one of Bloomington's well known pianists, was called upon by the audience and played a Chopin number. Immediately afterward Blind Boone went to the piano and after telling the key played the whole composition through after Mrs. Pitts. The vocalist of the company sang several very charming songs, including Negro Melodies.—Bloomington Pantograph. flats. Bath and private hall and porches. Call Mrs. Roberts, 1418 E. 24th street. FOR RENT—Modern four-room The Kansas City Sun AN OPEN LETTER TO MISSOURI CLUB WOMEN, JEFFERSON CITY, MO. This is to inform the clubs that the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs will convene in Lexington, Mo., May 28 to 30, 1914, instead of Jefferson City, Mo., June 1 and 2, 1914. As the Grand Court of H. of J. will convene in Lexington the same week and a large delegation of women will be present, it has been decided to hold the Federation at this place in order to give the women an opportunity to attend both meetings for one railroad fare, etc. It is hoped to have the largest delegation and the best meeting we have ever had. We are urging every club in the state to send a delegate. Each club should assist to make the Federation a success. A few of us can not do the work. We need the co-operation of all the clubs. The representation fee is five cents per capita and a delegate for every ten members. We extend a cordial invitation to all clubs to join that are not members. Any organization desiring to join shall make application to the corresponding secretary. If impossible to send delegate represent by letter.

Death has been here and borne away A brother from our side, Just in the morning of his day, As young as we he died. Not long ago he filled his place, And sat with us to learn; But now he's run his mortal race And never can return. We cannot tell who next may fall, Beneath the chastening rod; One must be first, so let us all Prepare to meet our God. The grim messenger has again summoned the soul of one of our fellow-worshippers before the judgment bar in the great unknown. While yet a young man, in the prime of life, Mr. Harry Bean, has folded his tent like the Arab, and has silently stolen away to take up his abode methinks in the city celestial. For him death could have no terrors for several years ago, Christ had placed Krug Victor's crown upon his head and prepared him for his conflict in which he was to be victorious, so that Friday afternoon, May 8, when the grim monster summoned him he hade his friends and relatives leave the room while he conversed with his Master. And lo! When next his friends came into the room he was entering that sleep peaceful and serene that knows no waking. Whereas, Mr. Bean was a member of Allen Chapel Choir for about fifteen years useful and loyal, and. Whereas, the choir realizes it has lost one of its best members, whose place it dares not even hope to fill, and though we are stricken with grief. Be it resolved, that we bow our heads in humble submission to Him who doeth all things well. Resolved, that as we commit the body to the grave, we commend his spirit to the God that gave it. Resolved that we bid the bereaved ones look up and be consoled and say with the poet: "Jesus Thou Prince of Life Thy servant did not die, Like thee he conquered in the strife, And reign with Thee on high." Be it further resolved that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved ones; a copy to the Kansas City Sun for publication and a copy to be placed on file with the secretary of Allen Chapel Choir. Faithful friends, it lies I know Pale and white and cold as snow, And you say, "My friend is dead," Weeping at the feet and head. I can see your falling tears, I can hear your sighs and prayers; Yet I smile and whisper this— I am not the thing you kiss. Cease your tears and let it lie It was mine, "It is not I," Sweet friends, what ye have For its last bed of the grave. Is but a hut which I am quitting, Is but a gamet no more fitting, Is a cage from which at last, Like a hawk, my soul has passed. Loving friend, be wise and dry Straightway every weeping eye, What he left upon the bler Is not worth a single tear. It is an empty sea shell—one Out of which the pearl has gone The shell is broken—it lies there The pearl, the all, the soul is here. Where I am, you too shall dwell KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1914. When ye come where I've stepped You will wonder why ye wept, You will know by wise law taught That here is all, and there is naught Faithfully submitted. James Crews, President. R. G. Jackson, Director. Sarah Hammett, Secretary of Choir Laura Gilmore Mother of Choir. Magnolia Lewis, Secretary of Com --- SPECIAL NOTICE TO TEACH ERS.

I go to church on Sunday morning in sunny or rainy weather to hear a sermon on hope forelorn, and chase my sins a skelter. The preacher preaches his stirring lay and rents my bones asunder. On closing I know just what he will say and never have to wonder. "Give us something for the church, please," we hear it all day Sunday. Miss Sarah Jane and Daddy Lane keep it up till Monday. When church is over, I will talk to Pearl, says I, and ask her 'bout her health. But are I can walk and greet the girl, a cry. "Give me of your wealth." "Won't you help our church, please?" "Blessed is the Cheerful giver." I grab my shaking knees, and feel my beating liver. They are legion who prey on a single pocketbook and all the while a smiling one. Oh! if I could just give 'em one rocket-look and show 'em my blood a-biling! I go to Deacon Jinks and feel safe, methinks, that I've dodged another beggar, but he says, "Hello, old pard, help me on my card." Then I begin to stagger. Some other functions I often go to which they say "are entirely free," "no admission," and other Bunctions are what they hand to me. But are I leave the doubtful place and take myself away, I'm made to grieve and hide my face and think how fair they play! "The speaker of the evening has traveled long, and for the shining stuff he does not care. But let ev'ry one "give" in this great throng"—here, I note the bluff and says to myself: Beware! MASONIC. At the funeral of the late Brother Harry Bean held last Sunday at Allen Chapel, Masonic services were held by Westport Lodge, No. 46, to which the deceased belonged. It is safe to say that the lodge burial ceremonies were never carried out in a more impressive and appropriate manner than they were upon this occasion. Brother B. O. Cave, the W. M., was perfect in his own function, delivering all his work from memory and in a very effective manner. He also knew the parts of each of the other officers and directed them with such skill as to win the commendation of all who witnessed the services. Westport Lodge, No. 46, has had a series of misfortunes during the last few years and it has required a great deal of patience and fortitude to keep up the spirit of work. The number of deaths alone this year has been exceedingly heavy but the brethren, led by the energetic and intelligent young W. M., B. O. Cave, have faithfully stood by their vows and expect to make a clear showing for the year. Under such leadership their ambition is sure to be realized for it is impossible to think that such meritorious zeal should not only be appreciated but should inspire an enthusiastic following. BONNER SPRINGS, KAS. Thursday, May 7, the Baptist church held its 7 church Baptist Union which was a credit to Bonner Springs. Rev. Mosby, Rev. Daniels and Rev. J. W. Hurse of Kansas City, Mo., preached great sermons and had a large congregation. J. M. Gilbert of Kansas City, Mo., was pastor in charge...Master J. C. Hickman died Friday night at 10 o'clock.

Church...Grandmother Wheeler has been very sick but is reported to be somewhat better, but is yet in a bad way. Old age has a great deal to do with her illness. The Clippers Entertain Elaborate Reception and Dance at Lyric Hall. May 9 at Lyric Hall is a day and evening long to be remembered. The event was a reception and an evening's entertainment given by the Clippers. The young ladies' decorations of the hall were the most noted. The center of the hall was covered with two large rugs and rocking chairs. On a table was a Grecian vase filled with Snap Dragons, Narcissus, carnations, daisies and sweet peas filled small baskets in each window. The walls were latticed in white and sweet peas were interwoven, which made a site beautiful to behold, giving the hall the appearance of aspiring garden. Snowballs and iliacs covered and banked the furnishings. Ferns, palms and other potted plants were piled in huge masses, latticed with sweet peas, leaves and other such flowers to denote spring. Each young lady was attended by a matton who wore a beautiful corsage bouquet of the same flower as the young lady. The matrons were Mesdames D. N. Crosthwait, H. T. Kealing, R. T. Coles, W. F. Fairax, I. F. Bradley, The Clay, L. Kennedy, Jones, W. H. Hubbel, all of whom are justly proud of their young friends, the Clippers. The following are the Clippers: Misses Robertann Barbee, Rosa Barbee, Ruth Bradley, Katherine Davis, Irva French, Effie Grant, Amelia Hutchings, Sue Hutchings, Marguerite Jackson, Bessie Jacobs, Winifred Morton, A. Della Newsm, Victoria Newsm, E. Naomi White and Grace P. White. The associate Clippers are, Gertrude Barbee, Anne E. Crosthwait and Ethel A. White. E. NAOMI WHITE, Pres. RUTH BRADLEY, Sec'y.

The Lake of Fire and Brimstone The lake of fire and brimstone is mentioned more than once in the book of Apostles or Revelations in which the Apostle John in his pro- By WILLIAM STITTS, International Bible Student. phytic vision had described the condition of the incorrigible sinners. He called it a lake of fire and brimstone which is the second death. Rev. 21:8. The symbolic lake of fire has been falsely taught by creeds and in connection with that blasphemous doctrine of eternal torment which was produced about the fifth century has bound the minds of the Christians and of the race of sinners and has kept them in ignorance and superstition. Why should we expect fruit on the old tree of false doctrine which will soon be plucked by the root and the tree of edification planted in its place? Notice we read by the grace of God, Christ tasted death for every man. Then why has it been taught that when sinners die, the first death that they goeth into this lake of fire? All of the heathens that have not heard the Gospel preached, has not God provided a way for them? Heb. 2:9; Rome 10:14. Will they not have a chance to come to a knowledge of the truth? We answer yes and all Bible students that have come to a knowledge of the truth will agree on the subject. We will take the Scripture for our guide. God will have all men to be saved and come unto the knowledge of the Truth. 1 Timothy 2:4-6. The race of sinners that has not accepted die and go in to hell the invisible grave. The bodies that they now possess will not rise; they will be formed in terrestrial bodies to hear their just decision; after coming forth from the grave they will be permitted to live (100 years) Job tells the condition; he said his flesh will be fresher than child's, Job 33:25-1; Cor. 15:37-38-40. That he would return to the days of his youth and if he does not accept the right way, will be counted as incorrigible and will be destroyed in the second death. The prophet Isaiah 65:20 gives us the key to the subject. As a child shall die a (100 years) old and a sinner who dies 100 years old shall be accursed. All will live 100 years. They will be formed in terrestrial bodies to hear the everlasting Gospel. We will take the (Revelation 14:6) Apostle John in his prophetic vision. He spoke his words with much weight. He said "I saw an angel fly in the midst of heaven having the everlasting Gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth. The Saints then will be lifted and join themselves with their Lord the head of the Church of the first born. Col. 1-18. The marriage of the Lamb will be complete. We find that when the bride class has been completed we hear the voice of the bride and the spirit and he that heareth say come and he that are athirst take the water of life freely. All the heathens and the race of sinners when they come forth from the grave will be athirst for the truth which is symbolically called the water of life for they have not heard the everlasting Gospel in this present life. Rev. 22:17. For all creeds and churches are in contrast—one differs with the other. Each creeds a different doctrine; which must the sinner believe? They cannot all be right when they are all in contrast. How can this be? We answer by the Scripture. The dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God and they that hear shall live. They all will hear call to come from the dead—to hear the sound means to awake out of the sleep of death and second is to obey and after coming forth from the grave if they obey the teaching of the Son of God they will live forever. If not they will die the second death St. John 5:25-28. God knows the identity and the character of each one There will be two classes in heaven The bride class and the great company. Rev. 7:8-8 and Chapt. 14-1. The prophets of old that died before Christ, God will make them princes on all the earth. Ps. 45-16. And the race of sinners, after they have come to a full knowledge of the truth will be called the meek for blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are the poor in spir ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME PRICE. 5c. for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matt. 5:3-5. The Spiritual Class will be in heaven and the other class will be on the earth for God created earth not in vain but he formed it to be inhabited. Isa. 45-18. The first work Christ will do he will bind Satan for a thousand years so he will not deceive the Nations any more till the 1,000 years should be fulfilled. Rev. 20:3. Then the earth will be full of the knowledge and the glory of God as the water covers the sea. Hab. 2:14 and after the race of sinners has been brought to the light and all that will not make progress toward obedience and hear and obey, that great preacher and prophet will be deemed unworthy of everlasting life and will be sentenced to the second death. They will be cut off at 100 years old. They will be unfit for life. All the incorrigible sinners who once were redeemed from the Adamic curse and condemnation and would not accept with them the symbolic beast and the false prophet a system of deception shall be cast in the symbolic lake of fire which is second death. Rev. 19-20. Hell is the condition of the first death or the Adamic death for Adam we all die (I. Cor. 15:22) good and evil go in to hell but only the incorrigible go in to the second death. HANNIBAL, MO. The Masonic Relief Board met here last Monday and paid off claims amounting to $3,850.

First American Diplomat Illy Reward ed, and His Services Long Went Unrecognized. The first diplomatic agent of the United States was Silas Deane, who was born at Groton, Conn. He became a merchant and a delegate to the first continental congress. In the spring of 1776 he was sent to France as a secret diplomatic agent. He posed as a merchant from Bermuda and upon his arrival in Paris sought an interview with Count de Vergennes, the minister for foreign affairs, who refused to receive him. Deane was reduced to the direct poverty and was ejected by his landlady. Subsequent American ambassadors have complained of the lack of suitable embassies, but Deane was reduced to a point where he had to accept poor lodgings from a sympathetic Frenchman. Eventually he was given an audience with Vergennes and began the diplomatic relations which eventually resulted in the French alliance. In 1777 Deane was recalled. In the bitter controversy which followed his recall Thomas Paine revealed the fact that supplies furnished the colonies had been furnished by the French government—a diplomatic indiscretion which cost Paine his place as secretary of the committee on foreign affairs. Deane driven into poverty and exile, died in England in 1789. Half a century later his claim for his services abroad was adjusted by congress and a large sum was paid to his heirs. --- --- A. R. STEWART. Epicures in the United States, who love mushrooms will long for a time in the Austrian Tyrol, where real mushrooms grow. A traveler writing of the region says: Bordering the road that led up the mountain were Italian chestnut trees, so large that it took from three to five of us to span the trunks of most of them. Under one of these one evening I saw crouching what I took to be a small, dark gray kitten. Stooping, I found that it was not a kitten, but a mushroom. Our good peasant neighbor, hurrying toward me, begged that I would not disturb it, saying that she depended on this every year. After a few days of rain, what had seemed a kitten now looked a stately cat, and when it reached the weight of six pounds it was gathered and eaten. A lecture by that brilliant craftsman and poet, William Morris, was not always a season of rare enjoyment. Sometimes, according to Morris's recent biographer, Mr. Compton-Rickett, his lectures were dull, as on that occasion when he turned to one of the ladies in his audience, and asked her how she had liked the lecture. "Not at all!" was the unexpected reply. "But I thought the color of your blue shirt charming." Morris was delighted, for he had taken great pains to find the right dye. His love of color, particularly indigo blue, was as keen as his delight in Gothic Art—Youth's Companion. Some Mushroom. QUITE STRONG ON ECONOMY Of Course, These Remarks May Never Have Been Made, but Here They Are, Anyway. "Do you know, I'm getting so I don't care for eggs any more. Honest, I used to like them for breakfast, but now I don't care whether I ever get one. It's no hardship for me to go without them, I assure you." "Sometimes my mother says: 'Why don't you use more butter on your bread?' She thinks I ought to eat a lot of it, but I don't. Besides, what's the use of eating a lot of something you don't care particularly for, especially when it's expensive?" "People, I think, would be a whole lot better off if they ate less meat. I used to think that meat was a necessity, but I don't any more. Why, I could get along on about a pound of beefsteak a week. I think it's all ridiculous nonsense, paying such avful prices for meat." "I can't it fierce the way some girls and women want to deck themselves out in furs? They look positively barbarous with the heads of animals hanging on all over them. Wearing of fur is a rolle of barbarism anyway, so I think. A good warm cloth coat is plenty good enough for me, and always will be." "I can't for the life of me see why married people get so worried every year over the price of coal. Coal is going up all the time, I know; but people always get a lot more of it than they really need. Nearly every house you go into is overheated, and the people suffer in consequence. If I were housekeeping I'd buy just as little coal as possible, and then use it sparingly, so that the folks in the house with me would have some chance of keeping healthy."--Brooklyn Times. POSSIBLY A FEW DOORS OFF But Little Man Had Small Chance of Getting What He Wanted in That Particular Store. The apoplectic little man pounded the counter with his apoplectic little fist. "I never dealt here before and I'll never deal here again!" he shouted. "The management here is rotten. You have nothing, nothing! I'll try once more. Have you any tomatoes?" "No, sir; sorry, sir," replied the clerk. "What? Not even in cans?" "Not even in bottles." The apoplectic little man crushed his hat down farther on his head and bit his mustache until the blood came. He consulted the list in his hand. "I give you another chance! Have you any potatoes? Think carefully now!" "Not a potato in the place," said the clerk apologetically. "Ye gods! Well, I'll give you one more chance. I'd like to see the end of this. Have you any sugar?" "Not a grain, sir. Sorry, sir." The apoplectic little man sat down on a stool and let his list flutter to the floor. "And you call this a grocery store?" he said tauntingly. "No, sir," corrected the clerk mildly. "This is a cigar store." The apoplectic little man rolled off the stool in a fit. Owing to the continuous rise in the price of lavender essence the acreage devoted to the cultivation of lavender flowers in the Marselle consular district has increased considerably. The fact that barren soils, unproductive for other purposes, may be successfully utilized renders this industry particularly attractive to the farmers in this part of France. Thin, rocky soils, well exposed to the sun, situated at an altitude of 1,312 to 3,937 feet, are best adapted for this purpose. Suitable soils at lower altitudes, unless properly fertilized, seldom give satisfactory results. Experience shows that flowers cultivated at altitudes of 2,953 feet produce the best essence. Truffles are often planted between the rows, that every foot of soil may be put to use. Judgment by Faith. Judge not by deeds and things, take the good heart and the good motive on trust. Belleve in it, affirm it. To affirm a thing is literally to make it firmer. To glorify the good self of another is to set going the machinery by which goodness manifests. When others believe us good, or wise, or lovely, we catch the vibration by thought transference and begin to believe in ourselves as true, beautiful and good. And whatsoever things we believe in we think upon, and we become like that which we think upon. Also we act accordingly. If you want to see beauty in this world, just believe in those about you.—The Nautilus. Worth Knowing. Automobiles date back to the time of Sir Isaac Newton, who in 1680 proposed a form of steam carriage which embodied the essential features of a steam automobile. In 1790 Nathan Read patented and constructed a model steam carriage. In 1769 a French army officer, Nicholas Cugnot, built a three-wheel automobile. In America as early as 1788 Oliver Evans suggested a road wagon to be propelled by steam. In 1803 Richard Trivethick went 90 miles in a steam carriage which was exhibited in London. Many such were operated during the past century till 1895, since when improvement and perfection have come. Confirming the Book Mr. Brown had been helping little eight-year-old May with her school work, and she had learned to believe implicitly in his knowledge. One day at dinner she asked Mr. Brown what the United States paid for Alaska. "A little over $7,000,000," said he. "All right," said May as she consulted a slip of paper. "I looked it up in the encyclopedia." "Why did you ask me, then?" said her father. "I wanted to see if the encyclopedia was right."

FIGHTING FOR LIFE. Father and Son, Because the Latte 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 decision handed down by the supreme court of Colorado in regard to my case, which was hastily tried in district court of Otero county at La Junta, Colo., in July, 1911, where I was instantly convicted and sentenced to death and my aged father, a man of near 83 years, was also convicted as an accomplice and sentenced from 30 to 50 years at hard labor in state penitentiary. I was sentenced to death for protecting my aged father and mother, in their own home, and my life at the cost of the lives of the two brutal, inhuman, prejudiced, Negrohating, 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 attorney, Ex-Judge Lyman I. Henry of Pueblo, Colo., assisted by W. B. Townsend, attorney-at-law of Denver, Colo., aided at great expense by good citizens of both races and members of my lodge, the R. T. Coles lodge, No. 86, A. F. and A. M., Kansas City, Mo., and my father's, Prudent lodge, No. 6, A. F. and A. M., Kansas City, Kas., in getting in our case to the supreme court, which readily reversed the judgment of the lower court, and granted me a new trial which will soon 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 their desire to see me get justice. I appeal to you for financial aid, if you can assist me in any way through the columns of your paper, or otherwise, to meet the financial demands involved, it will be greatly appreciated. My reason for sending you a copy of the supreme court's decision and comments, is for you to see clearly it was not an act trying or attempting to defy the law in any way, but one of protecting my parents and my life. I again beg to state that I 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 a 32 degree man and a 33 degree gentleman. So I appeal to you most earnestly, that you may do for us what you can. You may refer to your respective lodges as to our standing. Should you feel disposed to aid 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 looks to her to be paid for any expense incurred in helping father and me. Please acknowledge receipt to me. Hoping for your assistance, I am. Yours respectfully and fraternally in A. F. and A. M. ROBERT HARRIS, No. 8180, Colorado State Prison, Canon City, Colorado. Wm.

One evening this week at the close of a very busy day I drew me up at my desk. Before me was scattered a mass of newspapers, all bearing the distinction og colored. My already tired brain and sun strained eyes almost refused the task that was set before. But from somewhere and somehow I gained courage, and plunged in by string with the one on top—it was the Oklahoma—O, there I go, I didn't mean to call any names, but the press work on that particular journal was so poor that one could not even properly translate the answers to Booker Washington's article, asking for better traveling accommodations for Negro passengers over certain railroad lines; which was bravely undertaken. The Dallas Express came in for a similar criticism while the Boston Alliance and Conservative Counsellor is void of that harmonious toning with other parts of the papers on account of too much front page advertisement. In others there were similar and even more grievous errors. The colored papers that take first rank in typographical cleanliness and mechanical accuracy are the Amsterdam News, Richmond Planet, Kansas City Sun, and New York Age. It is with no small degree of appreciation that I review the merits and demerits of these journals and journalists, who are struggling as I am; for to publish a Negro journal at this period means sacrifice at every stopover. I see written in great red headlines at the head of the meanest effort in the way of a Negro journal these words, "Self Sacrifice." Our readers are more sensitive to literary abuse in a race paper than they are to the big dailies. I often have a man come into my office to complain about a stick of matter upside down in the last issue of an article that was backed up the wrong way. Now, if he, perhaps, knew that my day had been 36 hours instead of eight in comparison with his, instead of criticising he would step in and offer to pay his subscription with the hope that his mite might help a little in relieving the situation. For whenever you see faults standing out conspicuously in Negro papers there is but one conclusion to come to, and that is that finance is oh, so short. Now, don't stand apart and laugh jeeringly or criticise an effort that you yourself are not brave enough to make. If you cannot give thousands, you can give the widow's mite and the least you pay on your subscription will be precious in the editor's sight.—California Eagle.

The custom of exposing the dead at the close of a funeral for the public gaze of a curious public is bad enough in itself and should be discontinued by law if common sense is not strong enough to stop it; but the habit of lifting up the members of the stricken family in order that they may give public evidences of their grief is not short of barbarous. The churches lodges and schools of our race should make an unrelenting war upon this gruesome practice to the end that if be entirely forgotten. Lyric Hall is the acknowledged headquarters for the social activities of the city and it is certainly due to the liberal patronage which it receives that it be maintained in such manner as to meet the greatest possible demands for convenience and comfort. The facilities for checking wraps could not possibly be worse unless there were no conveniences at all as is the case on the ladies' side of the house. Those in charge of the hall ought to take advantage of the summer and add some long over-due improvements. The Negro Business League of Greater Kansas City held a very well attended meeting last Tuesday evening. A very cosmopolitan and progressive step was taken when the league joined hands with most of the leagues of every town and city in the Union when they voted to exempt teachers and preachers from paying dues when they are not engaged in any business. Every teacher and preacher in the state should join the league and help make opportunity for Negro youth. You owe it to our rising generation to make efforts now for their success in the battles of life, love and Union will pave the way. Now all the schools are busy preparing for their public closing exercises and graduations. Simplicity should be the rule in all cases. Anything which bears the mark of extravagance whether in dress or in attempted literary efforts does the children more harm than good. There is already too much vanity and veneer in the life of our people. The schools should be fully aware of this and should be a strong fortress against it. Let the children be children. They are not expected to be philosophers. Abstractions do not concern them, neither are they expected to be wizards of economical sciences. There are just children of an infant race. Mr. Murphy of Baltimore, Md. Grand Imperial Potentate of the Shrines, make a visit to the Daughters of Isis and Nobles of the Mystic Shrines (Allah Court No. 6 and Allah Temple No. 7) last Saturday, May 9. He was a guest while here of Past Grand Master Noble and daughter R. T. and Mrs. Coles. ANNOYED THE GOOD FOLKS Surely New York Chauffeur Might Have Been Just a Little Bit Accommodating. "New Yorkers ain't what you would call neighborly." Mrs. Bates summed up to her friend, Mary Abby Thomas, at the end of a dramatic account of her ten days' sojourn in Manhattan. "No, nor even humanly accommodating as one man to another," she added, firmly; "they're plain stuck-up." "How so?" inquired Mary Abby, with eager interest. "In more ways than one, but one'll do," Mrs. Bates answered, with dignity, her long, cheeky flushing as with some poignant recollection. "The last morning but one before we left, as Hiram and I were starting out for the day, he noticed a spot on the front of my gray skirt. You know how part'lar he is, and I expected he'd send me back to the hotel. But he didn't. He seemed to have a quick idea, near 's I could make out from his face, and before I could ask what he was doing, he stepped up to a public chauffeur, pulled up at the sidewalk in a big automobile. We'd seen him lots of times, and noticed that he favored our Alice's Frank considerable, and there was no reason why he shouldn't have recognized us. Besides, he'd ought to have known we wa'n the borrowing kind of folks, but meant to pay. "Young man," Hiram says to him, "can you spare us a little mite of your gasoline? My wife's got a grease spot on her dress." "What!' s he. But it wasn't a question; he understood what Hiram said well enough, for he began to snicker, and before I could pull Hi along that boy was laughing fit to split." "I call him stingy," said Mary Abbey, with an air of furnishing a fresh interpretation of character. "It wouldn't have taken more than a drop or two of his old gasoline."—Youth's Companion.

To a certain southern town, on legal business, came a most pompous young lawyer, who, notwithstanding his name was McNaught, had an excellent opinion of himself. He found it necessary to talk with Squire Gardner, an unpolished justice, who had no good opinion of anything, and especially of anyone who had a good opinion of himself. The squire had never heard of his visitor till he called and he was a poor hand at remembering names, but he was an expert in human measurements. The young lawyer proceeded promptly to say what he had to say, the squire listening, but watching. Presently he thought it was time for him to say something. "Hold on, Mr. McCipher," he began. "My name is McNaught," the lawyer stiffly corrected him. "Excuse me, excuse me," apologized the squire, and finished his remarks. It was not long before the squire again felt called upon to speak. "Well, now, Mr. McZero—" he started in. "I said my name was McNaught," the lawyer interrupted, sharply. Again the squire apologized, doing so profusely, and the lawyer concluded his consultation. He was not feeling very kindly towards the squire, but he thought it wise not to manifest his feelings, and said good-bye with a fair degree of politeness. "Good-bye, Mr McNothing," said the squire, as innocent as a lamb, and as the visitor walked pompously out of the office the squire chuckled. CANNOT FIGHT THE MEMORY Real Reason Why Contributions to "Conscience Funds" Come in More or Less Regular. Practically every government in this country, local, state or national, has what is known as a conscience fund. Contributions are continually being received for this fund from unknown sources. They dribble in day after day, sometimes in amounts of a few cents and sometimes in sums of substantial proportions. Each contribution means that some person has found the memory of dishonesty so troublesome that he goes to considerable trouble to get rid of it. Of course, those who make restitution are probably far fewer than those who have taken what does not belong to them and escaped detection. The conscience fund is an illustration of the way in which a guilty memory must interfere with efficiency. A memory which is what a distinguished psychologist has called "ingrowing" takes the mind off other subjects at great expense to the life. The ingrowing memory gradually becomes the central thought of the mind, and the mental power is paralyzed. A bad conscience has often cost men their positions, simply because it diverts them from the duties assigned to them. It is usually far less expensive to get rid of a bad conscience than to keep it. Y. W. C. A. NOTES It costs one dollar yearly to be a member of the Y. W. C. A. "I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10—National Y. W. C. A.

Mrs. Dibble will speak on David Livingstone and our girls will do well to come with the women to hear her. We close at 4 o'clock. Miss Anna H.

A. gave among other beautiful quotations the following: "Hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil. Teach the hands to work, the mind to think and the heart to love. Do the best you can and leave the rest." Both women and girls would do well to appropriate and practice this advice.

It is not generally known that Mme. Edmond Adam introduced Pierre Loti to the public. One afternoon in 1880 the editor of La Nouvelle Revue dropped in at the publishing house of Paul Calmann- Levy and while rumaging through the newspapers on a table said: "Haven't you anything new? Just now I have no novel that I think would please my subscribers. Can't you find me a white blackbird?" Paul Calmann-Levy picked up a manuscript entitled "Azzyade" that had just been received from the provinces. "By whom is it?" asked Mme. Adam. "A naval officer, I believe, who wishes to Keep his identity a secret," the publisher replied. Mme. Edmond Adam skimmed through several chapters and exclaimed: "But this is delightful; may I have it?" And shortly afterward there appeared in the Revue the first work of the writer who later signed himself Pierre Loti. "Le Mariage de Loti," which followed, was a revelation. The author described his own adventures under the romantic skies of Tahiti. All Paris went mad about Rarahu, the little savage, who in the despair of unrequited love, cut off her own hand. Loti was famous! Told of Turner. Turner, the English painter, was blunt-spoken and often gruff, but on occasion he unbent enough to jest—occasionally at his own expense. The Bristol Times and Mirror gives an amusing instance. His famous picture, "The Slave Ship"—that wonderful combination of faming and gorgeous colors—was once described by an exasperated critic as "a cat having a fit in a dish of tomato salad." Turner had never heard the phrase, but once when a salad was passed to him at a dinner, he put on a critical and considering air as he regarded it, and remarked to his neighbor: "Nice, cool green, that lettuce, isn't it? And the beetroot a pretty red— not quite strong enough, and the dressing, delicate tint of yellow, that! Add some mustard, and then you have one of my pictures!" Told of Turner.

BE STEADFAST. Do not be alarmed because you heard that some one said something not complimentary about you. People have always said ugly things about those who struggle to be, and are achieving something; those against whom there is nothing said, are negligible quantities—people talk about those who are doing good. You go ahead, like the ancient philosopher, who, when he was asked by an apparent friend, who really desired to help the old sage, what he could do for him, replied: "Please stand out of my sunshine." That is all the alert, energetic aspiring young person asks; "stand out of my sunshine." Ladies' Tailoring Dressmaking AND Drafting...

An inch of rainfall is the equivalent of 603 barrels of 45 gallons each to the acre. This amount of water weighs over one hundred and thirteen tons. Think of hauling it to the farms in wagons holding a ton each. That seemingly light air and clouds are capable of handling this enormous amount of water is one of the marvels of meteorology. One inch of rain is not such a heavy rainfall either—Farm and Fireside. Law of Sanitation. Sanitation is a natural law. Nature will not tolerate disease and decay in her own domains. She buries the dead in her forests with leaves and vines. She cleanses impurities and overcomes pollution in her fields and streams, and she demands the same effort of men. When men fail to obey these natural laws they pay the penalty, declares the Healthologist. They suffer or die. When they do obey, no effort brings surer returns. For cleanliness means health, and health means ability, peace of mind, content and success. Women's Club Notes The Sorosis Ladies will meet with Mrs. C. A.

"There are a great many persons injured on windy, rainy nights because they hold their umbrellas down in order to protest their faces from the driving rain," explained a New York ambulance surgeon. "In their desire to protect themselves from the rain they place themselves in grave danger of being struck and run over by surface cars, automobiles and other vehicles. "If you wish proof of my assertion just stand in a doorway some night where you are protected from the rain and where you are in a position to see an expanse of thoroughfare which all kinds of vehicles use. You will be surprised at the large number of persons you will notice crossing the thoroughfare with their umbrellas held down so far that it is impossible for them to see anything approaching. They seem oblivious of danger, and a spectator would suppose from their actions that there was not the remotest chance of an accident occurring. "It is a fact that many pedestrians are injured on windy, rainy nights. With their umbrellas pulled down so that it is impossible to see ahead or to the sides, the pedestrians walk in front of vehicles and are knocked down and injured before they realize what has happened." HAD AN EYE TO BUSINESS Ugly Man by No Means Cast Down Over the Lawyer's Opinion as to His Looks. He had a sample of a subscription book under his arm, but instead of asking the lawyer to look at it he said: “As a matter of fact, my friend, am I not one of the homestell men you ever met? Give it to me straight.” “I-I think you are,” replied the lawyer after a long and steady look. “Yes, I think you take the cake over any homely man I ever set eyes on!” "That's candid, and I'm much obliged. Now, one thing more, and don't deceive me in that. I have been told that I look like a hippopotamus in the face. You have seen a hippo, and now you see me. Do you find any resemblance? "To be frank with you, I do." "A very close resemblance?" "Very close. If you were looking at me through the bushes I should feel certain that you were an escaped hippo. Sorry to have to tell you so, but you have asked me to be frank, and—" "That's all right, sir, all right. I thought people had lied about my looks, but I find they have told me the truth. I look like a hippo, and a hippo is the homeiest looking beast on earth. That's all, sir, and I thank you." "But you won't go off and—and commit suicide?" queried the lawyer. "Suicide? Not by a jigful! No, sir. I shall continue to live right on, but instead of canvassing for subscription books as heretofore I shall go around stopping clocks and arrange with some fellow to pay me 10 per cent commission on all repairs."—Ex- False Alarm.

I want you to please send by mail 3 bottles of shampoo, 3 boxes of hair grower and 2 boxes of pressing oil. I like the remedy just fine; I would not be without it for anything. I am using it on my little girl's hair; it seems to be helping it greatly. MRS. ANNA BRUNER. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 20, 1913. Dear Madam Dahney: 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 Dahney'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. A six week's treatment of Madam P. M. Dabney's XXth Century Hair Preparations sent on receipt of P.

(Copyright by W. G. Chapman) O. IRWIN MYERS 1913 SUDDENLY THERE LEAPED UPON HIM A DREADFUL, SCREAMING THING THAT CAUGHT HIM BY THE THROAT WITH A GRIP OF STEEL At one o'clock on the afternoon of April 14, 1918, a thousand newsbysr ran racing through the streets of New York city, shouting at the top of their lungs and frantically waving "extras," wet from the press and smudgy with printer's ink, were snatched up by all who could get near them. "All about the devil-chair!" they shouted. "The devil-chair runs up the cables of Brooklyn bridge!" "The devil eludes the police force of the five boroughs!" "The devil at large in New York state!" "Shoot like a dog, says Governor Smith!" "Extra! Extra! Ten cents, sir!" afforded a very simple explanation. The chair was fitted with a large gyroscope, that ingenious toy which has lately been found to possess remarkable qualities capable of being applied to traveling vehicles of all kinds. In brief, the gyroscope is simply a top which, when set spinning at any angle, retains the same plane of incidence and cannot be dislodged from it until the motive force runs down. Controlled by an ordinary gas engine, and affixed to the chair, the latter was enabled to run with perfect steadiness upon a single wheel, attaining the prodigious rate of two hundred miles an hour. began the biggest battle that the state had known. It might have dragged on forever, would certainly have ended in Haynes victory. His enemies sent spies and the guise of friends, learned his sturge points and his weak ones. They four among other things, that he had an aggerated idea of the customs present in that unsettled portion of the community. A blackguard insulted wife; his pretended friends told him when the man came out of the hital, that he would have to accept challenge to fight a duel. Haynes nocently accepted the invitation. The facts were these: About midday a crippled man in a strange wedge-shaped invalid's chair was seen by two policemen in that residential section of Brooklyn in which resided Mr. Frank Staples, the millionaire director of the Nokomis Land Development company and numerous other organizations. What seemed most curious to them was that the chair was balanced upon a single wheel, while from its interior there issued a faint buzzing sound, like that of a top humming at full speed. The cripple, having gained access to Mr. Staples' house, had forced him, at the revolver's mouth, to open his safe and hand him five thousand dollars in bills; he then made his way out of the chair, and limped into the chair, when he was arrested by the patrolmen, who had opportunely arrived upon the scene. Then occurred the inexplicable feature of the performance. In the midst of a huge crowd, the cripple suddenly snatched the money out of the hand of one of the patrolmen, pressed a spring in the chair, and dashed away at the rate of a hundred and fifty miles an hour. He raced through Brooklyn, eluded the police force upon the Brooklyn bridge, and, traveling upon the single, wheel, ran up the six-inch cables and down on the Manhattan side, and so made his way in safety into the northern part of New York state. No wonder that this amazing vehicle became known as the devil-chair! The mystery was solved about ten minutes after the first "extra" came from the press. Like all mysteries, it Line of Least Resistance. The waiter, in wishing me good morning, remarked that the day was much colder. I had as a matter of fact thought it particularly close and muggy, but I agreed with him. At the cloak-room, where a man, at a daily remuneration of sixpence, takes charge of a hat and coat that would repose on a chair beside me for nothing, had I the courage, I was told that the weather seemed much more promising; and again I agreed, although I had no such belief. Finally, the splen- afforded a very simple explanation. The chair was fitted with a large gyroscope, that ingenious toy which has lately been found to possess remarkable qualities capable of being applied to traveling vehicles of all kinds. In brief, the gyroscope is simply a top which, when set spinning at any angle, retains the same plane of incidence and cannot be dislodged from it until the motive force runs down. Controlled by an ordinary gas engine, and affixed to the chair, the latter was enabled to run with perfect steadiness upon a single wheel, attaining the prodigious rate of two hundred miles an hour, while, so long as the gyroscope revolved, no mechanical force short of a trip-hammer could upset the vehicle, which could move on roads or sidewalks, or, with still greater facility, upon the single rails of train and trolley tracks, on stretched ropes, or on telegraph wires, for the wheel was grooved for this special purpose. Who was this crippled man who had contrived so wonderful a machine? had contrived so wonderful a machine. John Haynes was an Englishman forty years of age, and, five years before, in no wise differed from thousands of other Englishmen of good family and fair circumstances. Then the day came when he received a letter from a certain lawyer named Frank Staples, who was at that time just struggling out of want into affluence through dubious practices. Staples informed him that his uncle, one of the original settlers of Nokomis Falls, had died, leaving him sole heir to property in land, the value of which was estimated at $1,000,000. He offered to settle up the estate for that sum. John Haynes sailed by the next steamship with his wife and daughter, surprised Staples in his office, and discovered that the value of the estate was not one but eleven millions of dollars. He threw Staples over and went west to fight his battle alone. That was the man's sterling honesty of nature and fighting quality. He would not compromise with crooks. He found that Staples had formed a company claiming the land under certain antiquated acts of the legislature. John Haynes refused five millions and did creature who, in return for more money, blows the whistle once for a cab for me, said that it was a nice day on the whole; and once more I agreed. But what I want to know is, what does the Recording Angel do about this kind of thing?-Punch. Man a Woman Likes. I do not think I have any definite opinion as to what sort of a man women like best, says Elinor Glyn in the Strand. It always seems to me the sex is divided into two general began the biggest battle that the state had known. It might have dragged on forever. It would certainly have ended in Haynes' victory. His enemies sent spies under the guise of friends, learned his strong points and his weak ones. They found, among other things, that he had an exaggerated idea of the customs prevalent in that unsettled portion of the community. A blackguard insulted his wife; his pretended friends told him, when the man came out of the hospital, that he would have to accept a challenge to fight a duel. Haynes innocently accepted the invitation, went out before daybreak, and met his adversary with a pistol from which the bullet had been secretly extracted. Both fired. John Haynes fell, crippled and paralyzed by a bullet in the spine. When he recovered consciousness he was lying in a city hospital under a different name and charged with murder. His enemies, knowing the gigantic issues at stake, had played their last card upon the young Englishman's ignorance of American customs, and had won. Afraid to murder him when he lay bleeding and helpless upon the "field of honor," they had spirited him away to a city slum, dressed him in rags, and left him lying in an alley arranged with a dead man beside him. As Pete Timmons, a notorious gang leader, he was arraigned before a corrupt judge and sentenced to serve for fourteen years in the state penitentiary. Next day the case was discontinued; it was reported that Haynes had accepted a settlement and gone back to England; the conspirators came into possession of the land. John Haynes, in court, had reserved his defense, by the advice of his corrupt counsel, and only learned that sentence had been pronounced while he lay a helpless paralytic, in the jail hospital. Every element in the state that should have been a force for justice was leagued against him. He never saw his wife or child again; he could learn nothing. He entered the penitentiary as Pote Timmons; when he persisted in his story he was placed types—the women who want to rule, and the women who want to be ruled. Each type naturally prefers a different sort of man. And, while women keep the ideal of what they would prefer somewhere in their imagination, they succumb to the attractions of the most incredible creatures. But this is a great truth, that you can judge of the woman individually by the sort of man she attracts. Or I should say, the sort of men she attracts, because they are generally of the same type. Like draws like. in the insane ward. He learned to be silent; outwardly accepting his fate, he grew more bitter until the idea of revenge became his dominating motive. At the end of his first year of imprisonment the first ray of hope broke in upon his soul. In the penitentiary he recognized a new face—that of a man named Ricardo, an American of Italian parentage, the blackguard with whom he had fought the mock duel that morning when he stole away from his wife and daughter to avenge the insult which had been offered to the former. Ricardo was serving a five years' sentence for burglary, which would be reduced, in practice, to about four. He made himself known to him. At first Ricardo, smarting under the failure of his confederates to save him, was inelled to listen to propositions for alliance; but when he discovered the indomitable honesty of the Englishman his mood changed. He heaped curses upon him whenever they passed and devoted his life to making the other's unbearable. In particular he delighted in torturing Haynes about the fate of his family. That Ricardo knew where they were was clear to Haynes from certain statements which the Italian had let fall at the beginning of their association in the prison. In some way, then, Haynes must force Ricardo to tell the truth to him before he could begin to work out his revenge. This was the man concerning whose exploits all America was now agape. At first the idea of revenge had centered itself almost exclusively upon Ricardo. To Haynes this man embodied all the wrongs that he had endured. With that apparently unending fourteen years of imprisonment, always before him, he resolved to kill Ricardo; and, because he could not match the strength of his crippled body against the Italian's, he devoted his long hours of solitary imprisonment to developing the muscles of his right arm. Some day, he knew, he would come by stealth upon his adversary, grasp him by the throat and crush the life out of his body. Within a year he had acquired the arm and fingers of a Hercules. But within that year new hopes had come to him. He realized, when the first fit of brooding had passed, that in Ricardo alone lay the hopes of discovering where his wife and daughter were. He must save him, not kill him; but he must place him at his mercy, so that he could wring the truth from the Italian's lying lips. One day John Haynes came upon an article in an old magazine which gave him his first coherent plan of escape. It contained a description of a new scientific toy, known as a gyroscope, together with a diagram for its construction. Within a few days, under the plea of wishing to learn a trade, he had been transferred to the machine shop. In the machine shop, as soon as he had familiarized himself with his surroundings and had become a part of the force, Haynes worked feverishly on his machines. He had torn out and secreted the pages of the magazine describing it, had pored over them at night in his cell, straining his eyes under the light of the electric globe over the entrance until he knew each word and every line of the diagram by heart. In the machine shop no very close watch was kept upon his movements. It was comparatively simple to secrete a bolt here and a nut there and to collect them later into a remote corner of the big building. As the men were searched only when they went out, and not during the day, nothing hindered him from carrying out his plans. He forged the iron in the intervals of hammering out bolts; he threaded the screws among a hundred others; and at last the day arrived when he had his machine all but completed and hidden in a heap of waste. On the next day the waste was sold. Haynes found the shop empty, with nothing to show for his labors. He was forced to start over again. By the time his machine was again nearing completion the third year of his imprisonment was ended. Then he was taken out of the machine shop and set to cobbling shoes. Again his hopes were dashed to the ground. In this manner the fourth year passed. The fifth was half completed when a change of management in the penitentiary enabled him to return to the machine shop. Doggedly he began his labors once more. This time he must succeed, for Ricardo would be set tree in six months' time — Ricardo, whose毒 against him had but increased during the years of his imprisonment, who never passed him but with itsers and curses. When but two months longer of the Italian's time remained to be served the gyroscope was again completed and hidden away in the new pile of waste which had accumulated. Now there remained the more difficult part, the making of the gas engine and the application of the one to the other so that the motive power could be turned on or shut off at will. The gas engine in itself was a comparatively simple affair—in fact, at the last Haynes simply appropriated one from among the constituent parts of a powerful automobile which was being manufactured for an exhibition of convict labor. The attachment device racked Haynes brains for several days. When but a month remained, more by accident than by design he hit on the solution. And then remained the task of making an experimental test of the mechanism. This Haynes achieved by managing to secrete himself after the order to quit work had been shouted at nightfall. When the lights had been extinguished and the door closed upon the last convict, Haynes hastily assembled the constituent parts of the gyroscope, attached them to the gas engine, and, with the medium of a few "Automobile foot" is a new disease for which Dr. Alexander Block of St. Louis stands sponsor. Automobile foot, due to lack of pedestrian exercise among automobilists, is a weakness that changes the walk into an ugly hobble. "The automobile habit is so widespread," said Dr. Block the other day, "that our ignorance of walking threatens to equal the broker's ignorance, real or assumed, of farm life. ounces of gasoline, prepared to make the test. He bound the instrument to one of his crippled feet, hobbled to the farthest corner of the room and set off the ignition spark. Two minutes later his absence was discovered by the guards who lined up the men to count them before returning them to their cells. There was no need to speculate as to the identity of the missing man. Pete Timmons' crippled form was always conspicuous among the prisoners—and besides, Ricardo was the first to shout his name. He was a trusty now and had the charge of assisting the warders. His hatred for the convict had grown until it surpassed every other emotion; now the thought that Haynes have escaped goaded him to a fury of rage. Shouting wildly, he ran toward the door of the machine shop, broke it open and rushed inside accompanied by the guards. The lights were turned on and Haynes was found lying unconscious against a wall with concussion of the brain. The test had been successful beyond his wildest hopes. No sooner had the gas engine come into operation than the gyroscope, whose motive power Haynes had ignorantly turned on to the full, attached as it was to his crippled feet, carried him across the machine shop with the speed of the wind. By a miracle of luck he escaped a collision with the machines and was dashed into the opposite wall, stunned by the impact. But for the interposition of some barrels, he would have been dashed to pieces. By another miracle, the strap that bound the gyroscope to his feet broke under the strain. When Haynes was picked up the powerful machine lay hidden from sight under a heap of scrap into which it had plunged, and there it hummed, inaudible beneath the layers that concealed it, until it ran down from want of gasoline. When, on his return to the machine shop, the prisoner found his machine among the debris, uninjured, the hope of freedom, hitherto but dimly imagined, suddenly became a burning reality. He had accomplished all but the last step. If he could once get free of those confining walls, his gyroscope with him, he knew that escape was certain. But inside he was quite helpless. And only three weeks remained. He knew the day on which his enemy would be set free; and, if Ricardo preceded him into the world outside, his plans would be shattered probably forever. Then came the unexpected stroke of luck which counterbalanced everything that had gone against him. Feigning that the accident had made him lose courage, Haynea had pleaded to be transferred to the shoe shop again, from which there was a desperate hope of obtaining access to the outer yard. But the prison doctor looked him over on the occasion of his last visit and noted the wasted body, the prison pallor and the cough which he had acquired from working among particles of steel. "That man needs fresh air," he said, "Let him accompany the gangs at work on the new prison." The edict was given out on a Friday morning. That afternoon Haynes set about taking the machine to pieces. By the time the shop was closed he had reduced it to its primitive condition of scrap metal. The searching of the men was more or less perfunctory and none of the guards suspected that "Pete Timmons" meditated escaping, for in spite of his evil record he had always proved himself to be a model prisoner. On the Saturday morning, Haynes contrived to stow away the remainder of the machine. That afternoon, while he worked feverishly within his cell, Ricardo came merrily past, stopped and looked in. Haynes glanced up at him and stared in amazement. The man was resplendent in a new suit of blue serge; in his pockets were silver coins which he was fringing. "Good-by, old friend." Ricardo called through the bars. "I go out under the new law today instead of Wednesday. I go to find your wife. See, I have letters from her all the time." he continued, patting his breast pocket. "Maybe you did not know. Yes, and then I find your daughter, la bella Eleanora. Maybe I like her better than your wife, and maybe not so well—time will show. We meet again, in nine years, is it not?" he ended reflectively. He stretched out his hand warily. "Goodby, old friend. Maybe you see me Monday, maybe not." On Monday, Haynes carried a few fragments of his machine out of the prison, riding in the contractor's cart, beside which trudged the convicts and their guards. The breath of the fresh air, the blue sky, the freedom of the waste country, stunned him; at first he could not think. Stretched out upon the rocks among the toiling men he ruminated bitterly. His hatred for Ricardo now almost transcended his longing for freedom. A shadow fell across him. He looked up. Ricardo stood near in his new, suit, jugging his money. "Good morning, dear friend," he murmured, warmly keeping out of the way of Haynes' antidated reach. "I came to tell you that I seen your daughter. She might fine girl, I tell you Pete. Soon, maybe, we go to Italy together." Goaded by the wretch's lying words, Haynes struck at him wildly with his crutch. Ricardo merely leaped nimbly aside and mocked his impotent vletim, a Guard came running up. "Hey! Beat it!" he shouted, leveling his rifle. "Beat it or I fill you with lead. God help me, I'll do that, if I catch you talking to my men again!" Ricardo sorely stilled away, pansing only to wave his hand to his enemy. By Friday Haynes had set up his machine in the hollows of the boulders. His heart was burning in his breast; "A broker spent the Christmas holidays cn a Georgia farm. The farmer said to him, as he came back one morning from a before-breakfast stroll: "Been out to hear the haycocks crow, I suppose? "Yes, answered the broker—and to tie a knot in a cord of wood and watch the hired man milk the milkweed." Hunger the Least of His Troubles. A Dayton, Ohio, newspaper, in reult. he scarcely slept a moment thinking of Ricardo and of the need of wringing the truth from his lying lips. Twice since that Monday he had seen him in the distance, now bobbing up with a mocking salutation among the rocks, now waving to him from a hiding place among the trees. Why he took so keen a delight in disturbing him, Haynes did not know. He could not know that Ricardo had been commissioned by Haynes' enemies to keep in touch with him so long as he was outside the walls, and so less secure; on the other hand, neither could Ricardo know that, hidden in the rocks, complete even to the gasoline which the cripple had discovered in one of the contractor's carts, the terrible machine lay waiting to work upon its master's bolder nud. That, on the following day, Haynes was to put his long cherished plan into effect. He had planned it so perfectly, this first act in his revenge, that he could gloat over it, even to the minutest detail. Haynes had learned from observation, for instance, the times of the trains that passed the prison site; he knew them all, from the expresses to the locals, and had jotted down the hours and minutes upon the tablets of an almost perfect memory. And, since each day's delay was dangerous, and since the order for his return to his cell might be forthcoming at the week's end, he prayed with all his soul that Ricardo would be there on the Saturday. He did return. He crept up under the shadow of the boulders under which Haynes was seated, fastening the gyroscope to one of his crippled feet. The Englishman had contrived this etrap of his to a nicety. While it bound fast the gyroscope, it also passed over the other foot, fastening the two feet together, and thus converting him into a sort of statue. Haynes could balance himself without effort upon either foot, by reason of the peculiar nature of his paralysis, which, when he stood, pulled fast the tendons of either foot in exactly the manner of a fowl's muscles when it roosts, which fasten it to its perch without an effort. Haynes had everything completed at the exact moment when his divine luck brought Ricardo under the rock, not ten paces away. The guards were at the other end of the long line of men, and the Italian ventured nearer. A hundred paces away stretched the shining metals, and the north-bound express was already rumbling in the distance. It would rush northward on its way to Nokomis without stopping, and ten minutes later, would possibly have timed Ricardo's appearance more ingeniously. "My friend," hissed the Italian from among the rocks, "I come to say goodby. I go away—maybe. She damn fine girl, Mees Eleanor, and she and me got marriage license yesterday and get married. Now she make damn fine bride. Good-bay, friend Timmons. Tomorrow maybe we be en route for Italy—and maybe not. We think of you much. Maybe we pray for you. Maybe we come back in nine years more, and maybe not. Good-by, old Pete." Goaded to desperation, though he knew there was not a fragment of truth in his enemy's taunting words, Haynes swinging round his crutch and missed. Ricardo waved his hand mockingly and turning his back, started quickly back along the road. He knew that Haynes could never reach him. He did not even turn his head until it was pulled backward upon his shoulders. For suddenly there leaped upon him a dreadful, screaming thing that caught him by the throat with a grip of steel, beat him down, struck him, trampled on him; and, even as his screams grew fainter and the guards came running up, Ricardo felt himself borne off as by a whirlwind and hurtling through the air as in a nightmare. Bullets were whistling over Haynes' head and he laughed loudly. It was delicious; this quaint fulfillment of the dream which he had cherished through five long years of agony, exactly as he had planned it; and the guards might just as well have fired at the sun, or at the rushing winds. For now Haynes was upon the metals and speeding far away in the wake of the north-bound express train that had come hurtling past, following it upon a single rail, holding up his enemy with ease with his strong right arm, while with the left he pounded him mechanically until the weak muscles tired. And now he began to hear the rear of the approaching southward train up on the alternate track, and bending down as he ran, he half shut off the motive power, so that he moved comparatively slowly. He saw the train flash round the bend of the line, a dreadful thing, a smoking monster with a hiss of noisome breath and glowing eyes. Ricardo saw it and understood and uttered a wild scream of terror and prayer. And Haynes, holding him firmly with his mighty right arm, hissed into his ear: "Where are they?" A babbling cry issued from the Italian's foam-flecked lips: "Ask Jack Poole at Grand Valley, northern New York." Haynes hesitated one instant, and then, with a thrust of his arm, he pushed the Italian down the side of the embankment, away from the train as it awept past him. He ran on exultantly for miles, shouting deliriously in his happiness. Afterward, when the sense of self-preservation was renewed in him, he returned. He found the Italian lying in a crumpled heap at the bottom of the embankment, and after satisfying himself that his enemy was only stunned, he stripped him of his clothes and the few dollars he carried, left his own uniform beside the track, and set off at full speed along the metals eastward. ing some of the tragic scenes which occurred in that city during the recent flood, recounts this episode, which goes to show that even the most awful disasters are not without their occasional tinges of humor: A fat man was sitting astride the roof of a barn floating complacently down the stream. Some of the rescuers on the bank yelled to him and asked him if he was hungry. "Hungry? No! There are fourteen bens in the hayloft and they lay twelve eggs a day!" HOME TOWN HELPS MOVE TO ABOLISH FENCES Pittsburgh Newspaper Regarde Idea With Favor, but Has Doubt of Its Practicability. Baltimore comes forward with a community back yard idea, already the subject of practical experiment in that city, remarks the Pittsburgh Dispatch. It aims to abolish the unstightly back yard and its rubbish-hiding fences, and to create instead a neighborhood open space or park and playground that would keep the children off the streets and offer residents instead of a little cooped-up and practically useless piece of private domain a chance to stretch themselves and enjoy a freedom of movement to be had in no other way. A correspondent who directs attention to the scheme suggests that it might be expanded into a factor in reducing the cost of living if the community would devote part of the open space to growing fruit or garden truck. Admirable as the idea may seem in the abstract, it may be questioned whether neighborhood human nature has arrived at the perfection necessary to its success. It is not difficult to imagine a refractory resident angered by some neighbor spoiling the whole plan by restoring his fences. It may be doubted, too, whether this could be avoided by any binding agreement being secured in advance. Then, also, there is always the possibility of an untidy neighbor mussing up the community back yard, of clothesline fights and dogs and chickens and all the numerous troubles that add spice if not sweetness to neighborhood existence. GOOD IN GARDEN MOVEMENT City of Duluth Has Demonstrated That it Is of Value in Many Different Ways. In the summer of 1913, the Duluth Commercial club obtained three vacant lots in different parts of the city and put a man in charge of the three tracts. He conducted demonstration gardening through the season; was always available to help puzzled gardeners; guided the school children in their work, and otherwise stimulated the garden movement in the city. From an importer of garden products, Duluth became at least a producer of its own supplies. Duluth's hinterland is developing agriculturally, but the garden movement in the city has lost none of its significance. It has promoted the ownership of many homes; it has drawn children from the street and made them garden enthusiasts; it has induced greater efficiency among wage earners through contentment and more healthful surroundings, and it has made Duluth a city of gardens beautiful to behold. Of greater value to Duluth is the moral effect on the city. The rising generation is one of gardeners. Factory workers and office employees not only raise their own vegetables, but they have developed their bodies by the exercise. The demand for saloons, gambling houses and similar resorts is dying out. Camphor Trees for Streets A trade journal quotes a Texas nurseryman as saying that the camphor tree is very popular for street planting in the southern part of that state; that it is never troubled by insect pests and that mosquitoes will avoid it. No tree is exempt from insect pests, and camphor trees may be found with such a thick incrustation of the red scale of the orange that bark on twigles may scarcely be seen. Mosquitoes avoid camphor and its fumes and therefore will not literally "roost" upon the tree, but they do not avoid the general territory in which it grows. The camphor tree is a prime favorite in southern California and we do not allow fear of insect pests to deter us from planting it wherever and whenever opportunity presents.—Los Angeles Times. Encouragement of Thrift. In Chicago there has been started an association for the encouragement of thrift. Far-seeing men are behind the movement, confronted with the enormous waste in time, opportunity, and material which has been a natural inheritance from a generation that found everything to spare at hand. This condition no longer exists. A changed economic condition calls for changed methods of living, to which the people must be educated. As the lasting and formative influences are those belonging to childhood, the school garden may be counted upon to play no small part in bringing about a better understanding of the elements of living, all the way from the market basket onward to the best that goes to make happy and prosperous homes. Does More Harm Than Good. The charity is bad which takes from independence its proper pride and from mendicity its salutary shame.— Bouthey. His Own Detective In Schenectady, N. Y., a farmer recognized in a leather shop the green hide of a horse which had been stolen from him but two weeks before. By means of the hide he traced the thief and eventually was paid for the horse. Thing of Most Importance the importance. "What matters the most of our work so long as it is well done?
