M. T. NOTES. The indications are that the grand sessions to be held in Keokuk, Ia., next month will be largely attended. As is usually the case the annual election of grand officers will be the predominating question in the minds of the majority and while it is regarded as the year for the big "Log Rolling," it is predicted that some important changes are being freely predicted. It will be the first grand session of the organization ever held out of the borders of the state and will probably be the last. As there is a pronounced sentiment against it even though the jurisdiction extends to other states. The Grand Temple has had the misfortune to lose their grand treasurer in the person of Mrs. Sallie Moore Haworth, by death, which occurred several weeks ago. The coming grand session will elect her successor and there will probably be several candidates and there are a large number of qualified members who are already being mentioned for the position. There are no indications at present of any change in the heads of either grand lodge or grand temple. The voting contest conducted by the board of management through the Search Light, the official organ, is now claiming the attention of many. Dr. J. H. Williams the grand medical director, is far in the lead and the indications are that he will drive back to Kansas City in the touring car offered by the board as first prize.—Professional World. The Kansas City Sun At this year's sessions plans were further perfected for the successful administration of the business portion of the lodge. Now it is the purpose of the Odd Fellows to organize a state regiment, and to that end all city lodges have agreed to organize Patriarches where such do not now exist. It is noteworthy that the sessions of these two great bodies were harmonious in every respect, and both exchanged greetings in the most cordial manner. The progress -for the last two years, under the present grand master, has been the grandest in the history of the organization. These facts deserve consideration: In 1912 there were 718 members in the district, while now there are 911. The amount of money in the treasury in 1912 at the end of the fiscal year, was $1,649.63. The report for the year ending July, 1914, showed -collected, $4,000, after expenses paid, the sum of $3,946.87 in endowment treasury. The officers elected for the ensuing year are as follows: District grand master, Attorney Dorsey Green (re-elected), Kansas City; deputy grand master M. L. Butter, Parsons; district grand secretary, M. C. Rhoten (re-elected); district grand treasurer, G. M. Harrison, Hutchison; district grand director, R. C. Chapman, Weir City; district-grand endowment secretary (sixth term), S. M. Banks, M. D.; district grand endowment treasurer, D. D. Hope (sixth term), Topeka. Thursday afternoon one of the finest parades the people of Atchison ever witnessed passed through their streets. The Atchison band, the Patriarches No. 147, K. C. K., the Patriarches of Topeka together with the Odd Fellows in a body formed the leading line of march. The District Grand Lodge and the H. H. of Ruth officers "brought up the rear" line in automobiles and carriages, which were furnished free of charge by a white undertaking and embalming firm, Messrs. Sawin and Douglass, who also were gracious in subscribing to the Sun. The city hall was lent gratuitously to the lodge by Mayor Finney and the city park was thrown open for the plonic which was enjoyed after the parade. Atchison must be a mighty fine town for conventions with such magnanimous people in it. A correspondent from southeast Missouri criticizes the Grand Masters for the infrequency of their visits to that section of the Masonic jurisdiction and we have heard similar criticisms of Grand Masters who have visited that section and asked that their expenses be paid for so doing. Lodges in southeast Missouri contain some of our best Masons but the matter of official visitations involves an item of cost which conscientious leaders hesitate to make. The southeast is an agricultural section and it is difficult in many cases to assemble the brethren during the working season without great inconvenience to them. There are several sides to the visitation question and most of the Masons realize this. The fact that other heads of societies make their annual pilgrimages and "cleanings" upon that section should have no bearing whatever upon the actions of the Grand Master of Masons. HERRIFORD.

On last Saturday, July 11, death claimed one of the most distinguished men the Colored race in this country has produced, in the person of Col. James Lewis of New Orleans. From his early manhood until his death he was one of the most prominent Colored men in all activities touching his race on the American continent. He first gained national notice as a commissioned officer in the Louisiana Native Guards, in which our fellow townman, Gov. P. B S. Pinchback, also served. These troopers were merged into what was afterwards known as the Second Louisiana Regiment of Colored Volunteers, and fought in the desperate battle of Port Huron, one of the bloody conflicts of the Civil war. Colonel Lewis took part in this fight. After the war he became a leading figure in the politics of his state. He attended all of the National Conventions of the Republican party as a delegate, often at large, and sometimes from his district. He served in many important public offices, and held commissions from several Presidents of the United States. He was United States naval officer, surveyor of the port of New Orleans, and served several terms as United States Surveyor General for Louisiana, and held that office until its abolition by the Government because all of the federal lands in the state had been surveyed. Colonel Lewis was the head of the public works of New Orleans when that city was undergoing a sort of a renovation and was installing a new water plant. Under his supervision millions upon millions of dollars were spent for this work, and Colonel Lewis won the applause of all of his white as well as Colonel fellow citizens for the admirable manner in which he disbursed the great sums of money entrusted to his care and performed the other exacting duties of his office. The Colonel was Past Commander of his G. A. R. Post, Past Grand Master of the Masonic Order, Past Grand Commander of Knights Templar, and Past Grand High Priest of Royal Arch Masons of his state. RESIGNS UNDER CHARGES. George C. Poage, until last Thursday night a teacher in the Summer High School, has left the city for parts unknown, according to reliable information, after having tendered his resignation late Tuesday afternoon to Prof. Frank L. Williams, principal of the school, and the Board of Education. Mr. Poage was one of three teachers against whom charges had been filed before the board involving their moral character. The hearing was set for 7 o'clock Tuesday evening. Tis said the resignation was handed to Prof. Williams about 6 o'clock, before the hearing began, but no intimation of the fact was made at the hearing. When consulted by phone, Professor Williams refused to either deny or affirm that he had received Mr. Poage's resignation, stifling he had no statement to make at this time. Mr. Gerald Tyler and Mr. Ben F. Mosby are the other teachers involved. It is said the committee in charge of the hearing made a very strong case. Some of the most damaging testimony was introduced, and a startling condition of affairs was disclosed. Several of the witnesses have been interviewed. About twenty persons were present and testified in the case. Substantial business and professional CRITERION men and women were among those who appeared, and the board were told frankly of the conditions and the widespread reports in the community. No definite action was taken by the board Tuesday night, as the hearing was not completed. When this is finished the case will be disposed of. THEATRE Attorneys Geo. L. Vaughn and Homer G. Phillips represented the committee of citizens.—The Argus. 18th and Highland Ave. NOT A NEGRO REAL ESTATE DEALER. Since the daily papers have been airing the Western College deal at Thirty-third and Jackson, many inquiries have come to this office wanting to know if we were in the deal. One of this week's issue of the Kansas City Times says the college was victimized by unscrupulous real estate agents. This seems to be true. BIGGER BETTER GREATER WE WANT THE NEGROES of Kansas City to know that these were white agents and no Negro agents had a lock-in on the deal, not even to rent or collect rents after the deal was made, and these same white agents are working among the Negroes of Kansas City today trying to make real estate deals whereby they will ignore the interest of both the seller and the buyer as is true in the Western College deal. Everything New, Some Old Favorites and Many More New Ones Will Greet You With ten honorable, intelligent Negro real estate agents in Kansas City, the Negroes who just will have a white agent anyhow, might as well make up their minds to take their punishment as it is sure to come from one of two sources.

FUNERAL OF JOHN HARVEY. John Harvey, fifty-five years of age, residing at 1011 Pacific street, died last Thursday after an illness of less than a week and was buried Sunday from the St. Stephen's Baptist Church of which he was a faithful and valued member. He leaves a wife, cousin, a step-son and a multitude of friends to mourn his loss. John Harvey was one of the best and truest Colored men that ever lived and was loyal to his friends at all times. He believes in the advancement of his race and, though not having had the advantages of an education himself, he was always ready to push, help and encourage others who were striving to do something for the race. He was for many years janitor at the city hall and the city market, and his politeness and courtesy, especially to women and children, won him many friends. He was a member of Fred Douglass Lodge No. 86, U. B. F., which had charge of the funeral services. And the most powerful and pathetic sermon ever preached by Dr. Hurse was delivered over the remains of this splendid old servant of Christ. At the request of the family Nelson C. Crews, Grand Master of Masons, and with Brother Harvey, a charter member of Fred Douglass Lodge No. 86, U. B. F., made a few remarks on the life and character of the deceased after which resolutions of sympathy were read from New Hope Temple of which the widow was a member. The funeral services of the order were ably conducted by Worthy Master Geo. Martin and his efficient corp of assistants. Characteristic of Dr. Hurse, but with a worthy spirit, many ministers could well emulate a free will offering was taken while the congregation were viewing the remains for the benefit of the widow who is blind. And nearly $23.60 was contributed. All honor to Rev. Dr. J. W. Hurse for the splendid work he is doing for God and the race. The Sun extends to the family its deepest sympathy and the Editor realizes that he has lost one of his dearest and best friends. Susia Cook, Toy Chappelle, Travalli McMahan, Anna Holt, Nettie M.

Golden Steam Dye Works 1605 EAST 18TH STREET When sending your Clothing to be cleaned and pressed have you ever realized, and every clean minded man would shudder with disgust at the thought, that the cloth use to press your suit had just previously been used to press the suit of a man suffering from Disease, Filthy Habits, etc.—the cloth in the interim being wet and wrung out in a pail of probably dirtier water, especially so toward the end of the day's work? A man seated in a chair, wearing a suit and boots, sits in front of a table where another man is working on a piece of fabric. The man in the background is wearing a suit and hat, and is standing behind a rack of clothing. OLD WAY OF PRESSING To overcome unsanitary methods we have installed an up-to-date Sanitary Steam Press. A garment that passes through this machine is disinfected, as no germs or microbes can exist under a temperature as high as the dry steam we inject. At the same time it removes any odor, takes away the grimy appearance, raises the nap, revives the colors and imparts to the garment that freshness desired by all dressers. THE HOFF-MAN NEW WAY OF PRESSING We are Hatters, Tailors and Cleaners. No delay in getting your work. We do everything in our own shop. When you send us your work we do not have to disappoint or delay you, as our equipment is equal to anyone's. We specialize on quality and carefulness, for if it pleases you it pleases us. We have one of the best Dyeing and Tailor Suits in the city. Everything new and up-to-date. We are prepared to clean any garment, no matter how richly trimmed or flounced, without injury. We employ only expert workmen and guarantee to satisfy every customer. Soliciting an opportunity to serve you, we are yours.

The Fifteenth Annual Meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held at Muskogee, Oklahoma. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 19, 20 and 21, 1914 The Oklahoma State Negro Business League in co-operation with the Muskogee Local Negro Business League has arranged a most comprehensive program for the reception and entertainment of the delegates who may be present. Aside from the regular and most interesting sessions of the League itself, arrangements have been made for an Industrial Parade on Thursday afternoon, August 20th, which shall embrace a large number of floats upon which will be represented the progress and industrial achievement of the Negroes of Oklahoma. Thirty (30) full-blooded Seminole Indians in native and picturesque costumes are planning an entertainment at the Fair Grounds, following the Industrial Parade on Thursday. On Friday afternoon, August 21st, the delegates will be given a view of the city. A live stock and agricultural exhibit, showing the great possibilities of the southwest section, will be open for the inspection of the delegates; also, on Friday evening, a Grand Banquet will be given in honor of the delegates. On Saturday, August 22, a special train will leave Muskegue for Boley, Oklahoma, the largest and most prosperous Negro city in the United States. The train will pass through some of the richest agricultural land in the world much of which is owned by Oklahoma colored citizens. For the annual meeting of the League, the Southwestern Passenger Association has announced through its chairman an intention to authorize an open rate of four cents a mile for the round-trip from all points in the territory of the Southwestern Passenger Association except Oklahoma, selling tickets August 16th to 18th, inclusive with final return limit to reach original starting point Augusta 31. The Western Passenger Association through its chairman also announces an intention to authorize an open rate of two cents a mile in each direction from points in Missouri and Kansas to Muskogee and return, tickets to be sold on August 16th to August 18th, inclusive, with final return limit to reach original starting point prior to midnight of August 31, 1914. Application has also been made to the Southeastern Passenger Association embracing the states south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers, and east of the Mississippi river, for reduced rates, and these will most likely be granted on the basis of four cents a mile for the round trip. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad with headquarters in New York City is planning to provide for the transportation of delegates from the eastern territory—New York City, Philadelphia, Wilmington, Baltimore and Washington, and for all eastern delegates who plan to be present at the meeting. A special Pullman Car will be provided if enough delegates signify their intention of making the trip. Delegates will most likely be present at the coming meeting in larger numbers than ever before from the Southern and Southwestern States. It is expected also that the east will not be neglectful of its duty, considering the fact that the Southern States have always been so largely represented at all of the meetings which have been held in the North and East. The annual session of the affiliated organizations of the League will be held at the same time—The National Negro Bankers' Association, The National Negro Press Association, The National Negro Funeral Directors' Association and the National Negro Bar Association, a group of the strongest organizations in the country among Negro people. Further information as to details, plans for the coming meeting, etc., may be secured from: Booker T. Washington, President, J. C. Napier, Chairman, Executive Committee, or from Emmett J.

MERRIAM CO. Springfield, Mass. U. S. A. How Tunes Are Built The mystery of music never just "came naturally" to any human being. The world has never known a more industrious worker than the illustrious Franz Schubert. Yet, if to any one in the world music "came naturally"—it seemed to come so to him. When the school principal asked his harmony teacher how young Franz Schubert was progressing, the teacher said: "He is a wonder. Whenever I explain anything to him, he always seems already to know it. He must have received his knowledge straight from heaven. Yet in spite of such superb gifts, there was never a harder worker than he. And don't you think that we, with our lesser gifts, should follow his example? If he, with all his heaven-sent genius, could not succeed without strenuous daily labor, how can we hope to accomplish anything worth while, without ceaseless, patient and conscientious toll?—The Study of Music, in Woman's World. Back to the Land. In New York certain persons who have purchased 1,000 acres of land in New Jersey, have formed the "American Agricultural association," to encourage and produce a "back to the land" movement. The 1,000 acres will be subdivided into five-acre parcels, on each of which will be built a house and a barn and on which a well will be bored. These little ready-made farms will then be sold practically at cost. Purchasers will be urged to enter truck and chicken farming to supply the New York market. Fine idea, isn't it? But does it take account of all the needs? That is, has it been demonstrated that the five-acre farm can in the majority of cases be made to pay? Or is the unit of land too small by 50 per cent? And does the farmer need some practical experience or can he just jump in and win right off the bat, so to say? For Flower Holders. No veranda is complete that is not decorated with flowers. Flowering vines growing about the posts of the veranda are attractive. Climbing roses and other vines can be trained over lattices that can be ordered to fit any space. Jardinieres of heavy pottery in browns or blues or greens can be kept filled with field flowers—daisies, buttercups, wild asters, or golden rods, each in its appointed time. Other bowls and jars and vases, of plain glass or of heavy pottery, can be filled with garden flowers for the veranda. Hanging baskets of Japanese, mahogany-stained split reeds or willow are very good on the veranda. They can be hung from the eaves or from brass or wooden spikes driven into the house wall for the purpose of holding them. "Oh. Hello. Hello. Hell—" Morris Feldman of 307 Washington street, Brooklyn, was in the men's court on a charge of peddling with out a license, says the New York Tribune. Patrolman McMahon said he found the prisoner at Fourth avenue and Fourteenth street selling paroquets. "Hell, oh, hell," said a small yellow bird, climbing out of Feldman's pocket. "What's that?" demanded magistrate House. "Hell-o, hell-o" said the paroquet cheerfully. The magistrated smiled and regarded the bird more kindly. But the moment he turned to resume the case the same syllables, differently accented, smote his ear. "Hell, oh hell-o, hell-" "Feldman, I fine you two dollars," snapped the magistrate. Sample of English Obstinacy. Sample of English Obstinacy. A twelve-year dispute has just been settled in a little village on the Holderness (England) coast namel Ulrome. The dispute was over a clock for the church tower, for which 40 poor parishioners subscribed. The clock was not placed in position because the representatives of the subscribers were unwilling to let the clock pass under the control of the vicar. The vicar declared that the clock was not erected because the farmers did not want the laborers to know the time to knock off work. After the lapse of all these years the clock has now arrived in the village and will be installed shortly. Pipe Worth Half Million Dollars. Among the royal treasures of Persia is a pipe set with diamonds, rubles and emeralds, to the value, it is estimated, of no less than $500,000. This pipe was made for the late shah, and it is said to be even more valuable than his famous sword. In the matter of swords, it is said that the gawkward of Baroda who, on the occasion of the coronation of George V in India, added to his fame by snubbing that monarch, possesses the most precious blade in existence. Its hilt and bait are incrusted with diamonds, rubles, sapphires and emeralds, and its value has been put at $1,000,000. Improving the Language. Improving the Language. Apart from the United States, where the coining of new words and phrases is by way of developing into a recognized industry, writers in this country are constantly adding to the language. "Chocolatist" and "mixologist" are the titles lately adopted by a confectioner and a blender of cocktails respectively; and one of our contemporaries has just invented "incepted." Another is responsible for "massacry." The English language is rich enough without these unnecessary additions.—London Globe. This would be a grand old world if people could purchase experience on trial, with the privilege of returning it if not satisfactory. Mime.

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 Counselor 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 meantest 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. ADVERTISE YOUR SOCIETY.

The dastardly crime reported to have been committed upon the person of a hospital nurse by a bad Negro is regretted by all and all hope that the criminal will be apprehended and punished. That there is no palliation for such offenses goes without saying. They are the foul issues of nothing less than brute instinct and the perpetrators should be dealt with acordingly whether they are white as was the case in the Grand Avenue affair or black as in this case. Our city seems to be at the mercy of an element of criminality just now which is unusual for this time of year and unnecessary at any time. So long as tough Negroes and tough white men, known to be such, are permitted to lie around in idleness as they do in some sections of the city there will always be crimes committed against society and society is in this way responsible for the conditions. The elevation of Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley to the head of the O. E. S. forces in Missouri is a well deserved compliment and honor to a woman particularly adapted to leadership. The Eastern Star ladies who chose her unanimously doubtless recognized this and will make this a big year for the order. In George W. K. Love as Grand Patron, she will find a strong ally and supporter. Brother Love is young, capable and energetic. He is full of Masonic zeal and as a business man he has few superiors. Mrs. Frances L. Boxley retired from the office of Grand Matron and was chosen to manage the beneficiary department on account of the high esteem which the order has for her wo manly integrity and her gentle, dignified demeanor. This tria with Mrs Lottie Gamble as Grand Secretary and Mrs. Alma Clark as Grand Treasurer, looks good for a new and proper era in this popular Masonic auxiliary. AN OVERHEARD CONVERSATION. Eighteen street in the now fifteen hundred block one can see and hear most anything. As the writer stood in front of a bakery shop (run by whites two elderly women attracted his attention who were in the place evidently making small purchases but their conversation seemed BIG according to the gesticulation being made and the head *o* head manner in which they carried it on. They had also enlisted the interest of the white women, who were waiting on them, in the conversation, too, though we must say she appeared more patronizing so than sincere. We were curious to know just what was being said but had little hope of having our curiosity satisfied, when for some unknown cause the pair of Colored ones came walking and talking out of the place. "Yes, Chile, God has certainly taken two of them --- Where Kansas City's Elite Eats the Tango on a Blazer. Price 15c. SMITH'S DRUG STORE, 18th AND TRACY. THE COFFEE SHOP Smith's Drug Store the Sensation of the Town. Everybody Going. Conspicuously before the public's eyes is Theo, Smith, our druggist, who is located on the busy corner of 18th and Tracy. If you belong to that class of men and women who think and do things, don't ever be guilty of saying that you have never visited this up-to-date store. His latest creation is the Tango Sundae on a Blazer, 15 cents. This is a combination of the best fruits and fruit syrups incorporated with ice cream and capped with angel cake, served in gold and silver containers under a bamboo tree among gleaming electric lights and before the breeze of an electric fan. This is irresistible. The following is a list of distin guished guests and popular society people who have visited and declared the Tango Sundae to be the most delicious they have eaten.

It's something I've done and God knows I try to do right and live a good Christian life. If I've drank beer, if I've lied on my neighbors, if I've talked about anybody, then I want to die and to torment but I know that I live right and try to do my duty; I care nothing 'bout these heath browns as you call 'em. When I come to die I want to go to heaven; this place ain't my home." "Yes, sister. Amen," interjected the other, who had listened to and approved every utterance her eloquent companion had made. "Where do you live, Hannah" "I live right down in that first house on the Paseo," answered Sister Fields." (This was the other's name.) They both went ambling off in different directions renewing their pledges of friendship and hospitality by hollering them back at each other and inviting each reciprocally to her home. The writer regretted that he did not hear more of the last unique harangue. Minister Was Puzzled. At a marriage service performed some time ago in a little country church in Georgia, when the minister said in a solemn tone: "Wilt thou have this man to be thy wedded husband?" instead of the woman answering for herself, a gruff man's voice answered: "I will." The minister looked up very much perplexed and paused. He repeated the sentence, and again the same gruff voice answered, "I will." Again the minister looked up surprised, not knowing what to make of it, when one of the groomsmen at the end of the row said: "She is deaf. I am answering for her." — Lippincott's Magazine.

Emergency Hint. Persons falling out of aeroplanes will find it quite useless to depend upon any of the ordinary safety devices, antidotes, block systems, fire extinguishers, life preservers or other similar contrivances, for though all of them are perfectly good in their proper time and place, they do not meet this particular emergency. The only thing to do when convinced you are falling is to make a thorough examination of the underlying landscape. For this purpose it is often well to have handy a geological chart, or relief map. When you have thoroughly familiarized yourself with the topography of the approaching landscape, it is then perfectly simple, by two or three little bodily maneuvers, to pick out a relatively soft spot. If you have acted wisely in the matter, there is nothing more to do but lie there and wait for help. -Life. Eat Before Working. However practicable it may be for the stalwart farmer to rear himself out of bed in the cold, gray dawn—or even before—and do half a day's work before he comes back to* the farmhouse for breakfast, experiment seems to show pretty conclusively that it is almost useless to attempt to do any work that calls for the exercise of the reasoning processes of the mind before the morning sacrifice to the stomach. Particularly is this the case with children and yet how often do we see the little ones urged to get up and study in the morning before breakfast, or at least permitted to lay aside some of the home work in the evening on the plea that they can "do it in the morning." Some may be able to do it; but it is safe to say that 90 per cent cannot, nor is it right to ask them to try. Keep Cool and Be Pleasant!

POLITETY RAIING FOR PROFIT Tuskegee Institute, Ala. — The changing character of the many industries in the South cannot be better understood than in the attitude of farmers and truck farmers toward the raising of poultry. Poultry raising in all sections of the country has become more of a business within the last twenty years than ever before. Fancy breeders with an eye on the blue ribbon of the county fair have always paid a great deal of attention to fowls. The produce exchange report, and the railroad companies bear out this report, indicates that the business of raising poultry has increased almost 500 per cent in the last decade. One has only to keep an eye on the crates carrying chickens, geese, turkeys and ducks through the western and southwestern states to appreciate the growing importance of the business of raising and marketing fowl. In certain sections of the country poultry farms are as numerous as truck farms; in fact many truck farmers carry poultry raising along with the cultivation of vegetables. One of the finest poultry farms in the South is at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. It forms the working plant of the department devoted to poultry raising, which runs from feeding for eggs to artificial incubation. How to build for chickens, for geese, for ducks and for turkey is a part of the course of study. How to hatch them is no less in importance than how to market them. There are at present in this poultry yard about 2,500 fowls. The plant is cared for by the students of the division of poultry raising. Several young men and women have received certificates as finished poultry raisers. There is not a Southern city of any size that will not support two or more poultry farms, and the profits in the business are exactly what the operators make them. Chickens never lack a market, among the rich or the poor, and all races alike are partial to fowl. 212-Cent Street Car Tickets for Children on Sale in Both Kansas Citys The half fare street car tickets for children between the ages of 12 and 8 are on sale by all conductors within the city limits of Kansas City, Mo., Kansas City, Kan., and Rosedale, Kan., at the rate of two for five cents.

The boy or girl who is given some useful work to do at home is helped to realize and to enjoy the responsibility of doing the task and doing it well and is thus gaining in character building. It may be that a boy is expected to keep a yard in order, go on errands, or relieve some one of care; or that a girl is required to attend to some household tasks, to dust a room, or keep a desk in neat condition, arrange flowers for the table, or make a dainty dessert. Little things faithfully done, help to form habits of neatness, orderliness, thoroughness. These duties may seem small, but they are important beginnings. Australian "Squatters" Exclusive. In this country the term "squatter" carries anything but an implication of dignity. It suggests the interloper, the fellow who is getting the use of land to which he holds no legitimate title. But, in Australia, it has a vastly different significance. The landed gentry of the great antipode continent are called squatters. They are the descendants of the original pioneers. They own the great sheep ranges of the interior and the vast cattle grazing areas which are called sheep or cattle "stations," as the case may be. The Squatters' club of the beautiful city of Melbourne is the most exclusive club in the whole commonwealth. --- R. J. Dunham, Ford F. Harvey, Receivers.

Human Documents of Married Life By Virginia T. Van de Water Intimate and Human, Intensely Alive, Each Story Presenting a Problem Which Might Occur to Any One of Us at Any Time WHY I LEFT MY WIFE can say truthfully that Doris and I loved each other when we married. Heaven knows there was no need for either I XXX of us to marry if we did not want to. Doris could have had any one of several eligibles whom she kept dangling after her—never quite refusing a man until he insisted upon her taking him or leaving him; while I was very well satisfied with my life as a bachelor physician with enough money to keep me comfortable until I made a success of my practice. And, as to him that hath is usually given, so, as I was not dependent for bread and butter upon the practice of medicine, I was soon earning enough from my profession to put jam on my bread and to buy the "gilt-edged" quality of butter. To drop the metaphor, I had a handsomely furnished office, and lived with my mother. I spent many evenings at my club, and had a goodly number of friends. Altogether, my life was a comfortable one in every way—until I fell in love. Then I thought I could never be happy until Doris married me. Perhaps I would not have been. Who knows? I do not mean to be frivolous; but in contemplating the follies in one's life (one must laugh—or curse. All married people have their little squabbles, their little differences of opinion, I suppose, and I regarded the arguments and disputes that my wife and I had as part and parcel of every wedded life. For the first year or two we were very well satisfied with each other, and with our new surroundings. As a physician I had, of course, a right and a duty to keep professional business to myself, but as I did not mention this fact to Doris until an isse was raised, she did not know how much or how little I told her of my private affairs. When we had been married about eighteen months, however, I had occasion to express my views upon the subject. A patient sent me a letter which came when I was out. This patient chanced also to be a friend of my wife, and when Doris saw her hand-writing on the envelope she jumped to the conclusion that the writer had made a mistake and that the letter was meant for her. So she opened it. In doing this she did not tear the envelope, as the flap did not adhere tightly, and came unfasted easily, without marring the paper. When Doris had read the letter, which was a request that I call, professionally, the following evening, she simply touched the envelope-flap with a drop of mucilage, and closed it, putting the letter with other mail on my office table. Naturally I did not mention the matter of her friend's indisposition to Doris. In fact, I knew that the patient was averse to having anyone known of it. So when, at dinner the next evening, Doris remarked, "I suppose you are going over to the Clarkson's tonight?" I started slightly, then recovered myself. "Ah! Mrs. Clarkson told you she had sent for me, did she?" I commented. My wife smiled and said nothing. Later when I referred to the matter in talking to Mrs. Clarkson, saying that, of course, I had not felt at liberty to mention her illness to my wife until I learned that she had heard of it from the patient herself, I was informed that I was mistaken, and that nobody but the patient and her husband knew that she was not perfectly well. Suspecting that my wife had opened my mail, I reproached her with having done so. She reminded me that, not knowing I was the Clarkson's physician, it was quite natural that she should have made the mistake thinking that the letter addressed in her friend's handwriting was meant for her, and that the "Dr." on the envelope had been written in error. "Why didn't you tell me what you had done?" I demanded sharply. She tossed her head. "Well, if you must know, because I was afraid you would scold—as you are doing now. You see, I was right in my fears." A week later I chanced to see lying at my wife's plate one morning a letter addressed to her in the handwriting of a man whom I knew, and who was an occasional caller at our home. I supposed that when Doris came down to breakfast she would explain the letter to me. Instead, she opened it, glanced over it, refolded it, returned it to its envelope, and opened and read the rest of her correspondence. As I was leaving the house, she remarked carelessly: "Shall you be at home to luncheon?" I replied that I expected to. "Why?" I asked. "Katie will take care of you," she informed me, "for I shall not be in." "Ah!" I said, "I did not know that you had anything on hand for this morning." "I am lunching down-town with a friend," she replied briefly. The next day one of my patients mentioned, carelessly and innocently, that she had seen my "pretty wife lunching with Mr. Moore yesterday." I did not betray my surprise, but when I reached home I asked Doris why she had gone to lunch with a man BACK to the Land. In New York certain persons who have purchased 1,000 acres of land in New Jersey, have formed the "American Agricultural association," to encourage and produce a "back to the land" movement. The 1,000 acres will be subdivided into five-acre parcels, on each of which will be built a house and a barn on which a well will be bored. These little ready-made farms will then be sold practically at cost. Purchasers will be urged to enter truck and chicken without asking my permission. She looked at me with a triumphant half-smile. "And do you ask my permission before you make appointments with women?" she queried sarcastically. I strove to speak calmly. "Do try to be sensible, Doris! You know that professional engagements are very different from social affairs." I did not ask her not to go to lunch-on again with men, for I was sure that if I did she would go when she chose, only would say nothing to me about it. My wife and my mother were never intimate. I am sure that my mother tried to think of Doris as a daughter, but they had little in common, except their love for me—and that is not often a bond of union between a man's wife and his mother. Of course I went to see my mother whenever I could, and soon I learned not to mention many of these calls, for Doris had a nagging way of objecting to them. Each afternoon, after my round visits, as I returned toward home, I would glance at my watch as I neared my mother's house, and if I had time I would run in and chat for a while. A week after the conversation just recorded I was warming my chilled hands at my mother's cheery grate-fire when the telephone in her hall rang sharply. I was wanted on the wire. It was my wife who was speaking. She had reached home ten minutes before, expecting to find me there, as my office hours had already begun. The maid had told her that I had been called up three times by one person, as I was wanted on an urgent case. "It just occurred to me," added Doris, "that perhaps you were at your mother's, although I could hardly believe it, as you called there only yesterday afternoon." Perhaps the fact that the telephone was between us made it easier for me to say, "I am here many afternoons." That evening, over our coffee, she remarked: "Tom, I wish you would pay more attention to business." I looked my amazement. "Yes," she continued, "I do! This afternoon you might have missed a good big consultation fee just by stopping to see your mother." "There are some things I care more for than money," I remarked illogically. "I know it!" she exclaimed. "And I think it's pretty hard on me that you do not earn all the money that you might. Don't you suppose that I would like to have the things that rich doctor's wives have?" I set down my cup and gazed at her incredulously. "Oh, yes," she went on, "I mean what I say! You think just because I don't speak of such things that I never wish I had a motor car, and trained servants, and a private house, and lots of handsome clothes! I tell you, Tom, those are the things that make life worth while." "And is not your life worth while?" I asked. "Of course you think it is because I am married to you!" she burst forth. "But what have it? An apartment, when I want a house; two servants, when I want a half-dozen—as other women have; a trolley car or a taxi-cab to ride in, when I want my own motor; one new dress where I really need a half-dozen!" "Perhaps," I said coldly, "you may some day have all these things, but it will not be until I am an older man. If you loved me you would be willing to wait and be patient." I pushed my chair back and left the table. I simply did not dare remain longer in the room with my wife. My temper is quick and hot, and the only way in which I can control it is to get away alone with it. I had had time to become calm when, an hour later, Doris opened the door of the library where I sat reading. "Dear Tom," she said softly, "I was very horrid, and cross, and piggy tonight, and I am sorry. Won't you please forgive me? For I love you, Tom, and even if you were as poor as—a newspaper man"—with a gurgling laugh—I would love you just as much as I do now." I gathered her into my arms and kissed her. She perched contentedly on my knee and talked, running her fingers through my hair. "Really, Tom, I think one thing that makes me so horrid and fretful is because I am worried. I need some new clothes dreadfully." "Many of them?" I asked, remembering sundry obligations I must meet the first of the month. "Well, several," she laughed. "And now that I am trying to be good I think I ought to make a confession to you. Tom." "Go ahead!" I said. "Well, I really need a new street-dress and a reception-gown, and, besides that, an evening gown, but I did not want to bother you about all this when you have so much on your mind, so I just ordered one of them—the reception-gown—without saying anything to you about it. It is made so handsomely that it will do for an evening gown, too, except upon very farming to supply the New York market. Fine idea, isn't it? But does it take account of all the needs? That is, has it been demonstrated that the five-acre farm can in the majority of cases be made to pay? Or is the unit of land too small by 50 per cent? And does the farmer need some practical experience or can he just jump in and win right off the bet, so to say? Automobile Spreads Peets. Strangely enough, the automobile has proved an ally of the moth. Not swell occasions. And, Tom, it is really a beauty!" "Well, dear," I said gently, "your old husband is not so poor that he can't pay for a really pretty dress for you, especially when you have come to him of your own accord and 'fessed up' your extravagance." The above episode was still fresh in my mind when, a few evenings later, as I was starting out to attend a dinner of my medical club, I knocked at the door of my wife's room to bid her good-by. Before she could reply I turned the knob and entered. She stood, fully dressed, before her long mirror, surveying herself approving. She wore a costume which I had never seen before, a gorgeous affair, cut low in the neck, and with filmy lace veiling the upper part of her shapey arms. "My new reception-gown, the one I told you of," she said in reply to my inquiring look. "Oh, are you going out this evening?" I asked, in surprise. "No. I've invited a friend to dinner," she repiled hastily, as she hurried from the room to give her maid some forgotten directions. She was gone before I could ask for further particulars, and she lingered so long in the kitchen or dining room that I could not wait until her return without being late for my engagement. As I stepped from the elevator of our apartment house I came face to face with Richard Clarkson, the husband of the patient whom I have already mentioned. A vague wague crossed my mind as I nodded to him as to whom he was going to visit in our building. He wore, I also noted, his evening clothes. Then the matter passed from my mind. Nor did I think of it again until I stepped into my wife's room when I came home at twelve o'clock that night. She lay in bed, propped among her pillows; the electric bulb above her threw a strong light upon the French novel she was reading and upon her unnaturally flushed face. She had been eating marrons glaces from a huge box of these sweetmeats that stood on the table by her bed. Glancing at them, I remembered that they cost a dollar and a half a pound, and noted that the box before me must hold easily four pounds. "Who has been spreading chestnuts at your feet in lieu of roses?" I asked teasingly, thinking, first of all, of one or two women friends who had an abundance of money and were fond of humoring my wife's love for sweets. "Oh, a friend of mine," she said lightly, and straightway began asking me about what kind of an evening I had had, who was at the dinner, etc. It was not until I rose from the easy chair into which I had thrown myself that it occurred to me to inquire. "By the way, who dined with you tonight?" For a moment she hesitated, then mads an effort and said frankly, "Mr. Clarkson." "Clarkson!" I gasped. "Pray, why not?" asked my wife defiantly. "But how does he happen to dine with you, and how do you happen to let him, a married man, dine alone with you?" Her face hardened. "And how," she asked, imitating my manner, "do you happen to dine with Mrs. Clarkson, and how does she, a married woman, happen to let you dine alone with her?" "Don't be a fool!" I exclaimed. "I should think that even you, with your shallow comprehension, would see, when I have explained it to you dozens of times, that there is a difference between a physician accepting an invitation to remain to dinner at a house at which he is calling and his wife deliberately asking a married man to dine with her when she knows her husband is going to be out until nearly midnight! Did he bring you these bombs?" I asked suspiciously, as my eyes rested for a moment on the box beside her. I stood looking down at her. The white light over her bed showed me that, although when angry or frightened Doris usually became pale, the vivid rose in her cheeks had not faded. Before she could suspect my intention I turned quickly to her dressing table, poured some violet toilet water upon my handkerchief, and, as quickly, bent over my wife and wiped her cheek with it. The handkerchief was stained with pink. I showed it to her and sneered: "Painting, eh? I suppose that the complexion you wear for your husband is not quite strong and vivid enough for one of your men friends? How long since you adopted the 'making-up' business?" She sat up in bed, her eyes flashing. "You are rude and unjust!" she explained. "How long is it since you qualified as a censor of morals?" My anger left me as suddenly as it had come. I sat on the side of the bed and tried to make the excited woman listen to reason. "Child," I said, "are you miserable, really, or are you only angry when you say these things? I want you to be happy, and I do not want to be hard upon you." I saw that she was listening, and I only does it stir up currents of air which scatter the fallen and infected foliage, but it actually carries insects many miles into districts which have hitherto been immune. On one occasion some years ago there is every reason to believe that a deliberate attempt was made to spread the pest. Eggs said to have been found in California were sent to the department of agriculture for examination and for a time it seemed certain that in some unaccountable way the pest had traveled across the entire continent. In M. T. G. SHE HAD TURNED THE KNOB NOISELESSLY AND ENTERED continued: "I give you all that I can afford to give you. I wish I could let you have everything that money can buy; but, you see, I am not a rich man." "There are other things that money won't buy that you might give me, and don't!" she exclaimed. "What do you mean?" "That you can always find time to go to your medical club, and to see your mother, and to go here, there, and everywhere, while I must amuse myself. You know as well as I do that I want you to make as many calls as you can, for they mean business. But there are lots of other places you go, and, I warrant, have a good time, too, while I can stay at home, and then get scolded if I have a nice man friend here to dinner." It was useless to try to make her understand. All during that winter Mrs. Clarkson suffered with a nervous trouble that made it necessary for her to consult me often. One of the exciting causes of her condition, I shrewdly suspected, was the fact that she and her husband were growing steadily apart. Perhaps he did not understand a woman of her sensitive nature, perhaps her mercurial temperament irritated him, for he was calm and uninspirative. All doctors know his type—the well, strong, robust man who is angered by tears and exasperated by a woman's nervous fancies. Once or twice I had attempted to make him see that his wife's health was in danger, but as long as she was up and about he attributed her depression and excitability to "whims". When her nervous attacks would threaten her, the sufferer would send for me to give her some quieting prescription or to reason her out of the "horrors" that were symptomatic of her nervous condition. She was very young, and I was heartily sorry for her. She had no relative in our large city, and was too proud to take ordinary friends into her confidence. Some one—possibly Clarkson himself—mentioned to my wife that this one of my patients was very dependent upon me. Of course Doris spoke to me of it. "To my way of thinking," she said, "a popular young physician should be very careful not to get himself talked about." "If people are looking for evil they will find it everywhere," I affirmed. "And the physician in the discharge SHE HAD TURNED THE KNOB of his duties should be above the fear of such gossip." Her lips quivered, and, seeing that she was unhappy, I explained to her the situation as dispassionately and fully as I could. "You know, Doris," I assured her, "that I am always, and everywhere, faithful to you." That she doubted me to the extent of watching me was proved one day when I came suddenly on her reading a letter which I had left, inadvertently, upon the hall table. She started and tried to conceal her action. "What are you doing?" I demanded. "I found this letter here, on the hall table, instead of on your desk where you usually leave your mall, and I though you had left it here for me to read, but as soon as I began it I saw my mistake, and did not read more than the first line," she said, avoiding my eyes. I knew that she lied, but a man does not tell his wife a truth of that kind—unless he is very angry. When I was alone, I glanced again over the letter. It was from Mrs. Clarkson, saying that she was worried about a matter that concerned her closely, and would call at my office at six o'clock that evening. By the time she came the fact that Doris must know of the appointment had slipped from my mind, but away down in my inner consciousness was a feeling of resentment that she had read my letter. Man is a complex being, and it may be that the contrast between her scheming and uncandid ways and the frank, open manner of my patient made me especially gentle to the latter when she called. She had come to confide to me that she felt she must get away from town for a while, and to ask me to suggest to vestigation revealed the fact, however, that the man who forwarded the eggs had previously been employed in fighting the moth in Massachusetts.

We talked the matter over, and she had risen to leave when she said: "I hate to go on a journey alone, yet my husband has not the time to accompany me, even if he wanted to. Then, too, he thinks me so silly, as I suppose I am. He can't comprehend why I have such foolish notions, and I try to control them; but, oh, I get so frightened!" "Poor child!" I said, "you poor girl!" She dropped her head on my shoulder with a sob. She seemed so young and so helpless that, instinctively, I laid my hand on her bowed head. "I know it is hard, dear," I whispered. "I know all about it." "Yes," she sobbed. "Thank God you do! I go away, how shall I get on without you!" A rustle at the door made me look up. My wife stood there. She had turned the knob noiselessly and entered the room. Before I could speak she was gone. When the last patient for that evening had left my office my wife asked me if she might see me alone. Her manner was cold, her eyes hard. She sat down in my desk chair, and I stood in front of her. I was angry; so was she. I waited for her to speak. "Tom," she began, "I wish to say to you that you will have to carry on—affairs—such as you have with Mrs. Clarkson somewhere else than in your own home. You know that I saw what took place this evening." I held my temper in check, as I asked, "Do you think that scene requires an explanation?" "No! Anyone can understand a scene like that, unless he has a purer mind than most people." "Than you, you mean?" I asked bitterly. She flushed hotly, but went on, "As long as I am your wife I will not be insulted by having these things happen where the servants may come in upon them." I tried to speak calmly. "You are laboring under a misapprehension, Doris. On my own account I care nothing, but for the sake of a good woman I wish you to understand-" She interrupted me, springing to her feet and confronting me. "I tell you I understand it well enough!" she exclaimed. "When a woman has her head on a married man's shoulder, and is wondering how she 'can get on without him', it can have but one NOISELESSLY AND ENTERED meaning. And I will not stand it. Oh, I am no fool! I know what such scenes mean!" I clenched my hands to keep from touching her. Even in my rage I remembered that she was a woman, and my wife. "You ought to know what such scenes mean!" I retorted. "Since you make demands, so shall I. I have made them before, however, without enforcing them. Now I repeat that you are to accept no more favors from Jack Moore. Do you hear? Don't you suppose your maids gossip about that affair? Don't you suppose that one or the other of them saw, as I did, his card lying on your dressing-table with the box that had contained the orchids he sent you? Moreover—listen to me!—Moore has a reputation that ought to keep a decent woman from wanting to speak to him, much less accept his favors." She looked at me for a moment, wide eyed, then burst into tears. "That is the way with you men!" she exclaimed. "You can do as you please! But we women must not take a step outside of the narrow path you, our owners, mark out for us! I won't believe anything against Jack Moore. He is my friend, and I like him. You are jealous, that's all!" "You have heard what I said!" I warned her. "See that you do as I tell you in this matter!" "I'll do as I like!" she flashed out vehemently. "You do!" "For God, God!" I resisted. "For God's sake," I exclaimed "shut up!" She caught her breath and gazed at me aghast. "Yes!" I went on, my voice breaking sizzling, in space of all my efforts to steady it. "I mean it! Are you trying to drive me insane? I tell you I as Sully and look upon that tall and wiry frame without feeling that here is presented at a glance the strength and vigor of "Old Hickory." The portrait is very familiar, owing to many reproductions, but the visitor is generally surprised to discover that Jackson had blue eyes and sandy hair. His voice and action had a peculiarly martial air to one English writer, who further said that he seemed to be a "human gamecock." Yet he could also see a lofty ideal of honor in the deep eyes overhung by bushy gray can't stand much more of this damnable nagging! And I won't stand it!" Again she gasped, but I continued: "Listen to me! You misunderstood entirely and, I believe, wiltfully the scene between Mrs. Clarkson and me. If you hadn't been dishonorable enough to read my letter you wouldn't have been here eavesdropping. Put since you were, I have the right to tell you that I don't lie to you and that I'm innocent. I declare it on my honor! You can believe it or not, as you like!" She was standing near the door, watching me, startled, but, at these words, she threw back her head and laughed harshly. "As you make the assertion on your honor, I do not believe it!" And she was gone. I slammed the door behind her, locked it, burped my face in my hands and, to my own horror, burst into hysterical sobs. I had expected to go to my club that evening, and had told my wife so earlier in the day, adding that I would not get home before midnight. After the scene through which I had just passed I was too much shaken, my nerves were too raw, for me to want to chat with a crew of men, and I went instead to spend a couple of quiet, restful hours with my mother. I told her nothing of what had happened, but her very presence calmed me. Leaving her at ten o'clock, I came home and let myself into the apartment noiselessly, supposing that Doris had gone to her room and, possibly, to sleep. With no other thought in mind, I pushed open the door of a little room which we called "the den." As I entered, I saw that the room was lighted only by the glow from the grate-fire. At right angles to the fireplace was a couch heaped with cushions. Seated on this, leaning back among the cushions, was my wife. She wore a new evening gown, and, even in that moment, I remembered with a sensation akin to ironical amusement that only today I had sent her dressmaker a check for it. Bending over her, and gazing down at her, was Jack Moore. His hand held hers, and she smiled up into his face. The look in his eyes made me want to kill him. I stepped forward and touched an electric button, flooding the room with light. In a glance, I saw on the table by the couch two glasses, siphon, and a bottle half full of Scotch whiskey. Before I could collect my wits, Moore laughed lightly. "I was just saying good night to this fair lady," he said, relinquishing the hand he pretended to have been shaking. "And now I bid you good night, doctor." Ignoring his outstretched hand, I strode to the door and flung it wide open, pointing to it with a quivering finger. "Get out of here, you curt!" I exclaimed. He justified my use of the epithet by obeying silently, and so quickly that in less than thirty seconds I heard the front door close behind him. Without a word I caught my wife by the arm and dragged her to her feet. As I did so I felt my fingers sink into her flesh. I saw her wince, and I was glad. She gazed at me as if fascinated. I heard myself speaking as though I were another man—all the while holding her firm, cool arm. I told her that this was the end of things between us; that I could no longer endure her and her lies; that she could go her arm and I mine; that I would support her, but I would never live with her again—never! She made no protest, only stood there and looked at me with a half-sneer on her lips. "What have you got to say?" I asked her at last, in a hoarse voice which I scarcely recognized as my own. I let go of her arm and waited for her to speak. She must answer me, I thought, but she was silent. "What have you got to say?" I repeated, more loudly. Once more I heard my voice rise to a querulous falsetto. My teeth chattered as though I had a hard chill. I gripped my wife by both shoulders, seizing her so tightly that I thought she must cry out that I was hurting her. I hoped she would, as I felt my fingers sink again into her flesh. But this time she did not wince. She looked me straight in the eyes, and her reply slowly and distinctly. "That you are a cad, and I hate you!" she hissed. My hands dropped. I saw on her bare shoulders the prints of my strong fingers and the livid dents my nails had made. I watched the finger-marks as they changed from white to angry crimson. Then I went out of the house, and left her standing there. Three months after my wife and I had parted, I chanced the one Sunday noon to be passing the fashionable church of which Doris had been a member before our marriage. A throng of people were pouring out after the morning service. A whim seized me to enter. Of late years I had attended church but seldom. I remembered that after the service just ended there would be the celebration of the communion, to which only a small part of the congregation would remain. Entering, I went into a pew in a shadowed corner and listened to the service, until, looking up suddenly, I saw Doris passing up the aisle toward the chancel. A wave of regret, compunction and compassion swept over me—a desire to be at peace with her—and, obeying an inexplicable impulse, I followed her up the aisle. As she knelt at the altar-rail, I knelt down beside her. As I did so, she raised her bowed head and glanced at me, then quietly arose, walked down the aisle, and out of the church. Kneeling there, dazed, I remembered that it was at this altar we had been married.

BLAME THE CLIMATE Local "Feria," When Every Gambler Lets Instincts Revel and Plays His Favorite Game—Quick Changes in a Day. Gambling, which is as old as the pyramids and as young as Broadway, is one of the chief features of life in present-day Mexico, the New York Evening Telegram remarks. And the philosophy of gambling among our southern neighbors beyond the Hío Grande is given by Henry Baerlein in his "Mexico, the Land of Unrest." "And now we come to the philosophy of all this matter," writes Mr. Baerlein. One may argue that there is none, and that people gamble in the Mexican republic for the same reasons as they gamble elsewhere. "But, according to a certain school, the Mexicans demand consideration that is quite peculiar. "They are given, so 'its said, to gambling on account of imperfections in their agricultural economy. Wide stretches of the land are always running from one extreme into the other, from extreme fertility to unproductiveness. "In four and twenty hours the people pass from wealth to misery. Their wheat is all destroyed, their flocks are dying, and underneath the wheel of fortune they are helpless if it does not take another turn, which consummation is not to be brought about except by gambling. "Mexico is vast, and on the one hand there are tracts of country which unroll a savage fruitfulness—such as the part of Coahuila where it is sufficient for the cotton to be planted once in ten years, and the district near to Irapuato where, a mile or more above the sea, one has throughout the year crop after crop of strawberries; and so the jungle, round a rubber clearing, where the tentacles of the vegetation try to choke all human effort, and if they are cut will grow again, and at the rate of half an inch a day. "Then, on the other hand, we have the desert places where the summer's heat or ghastly whirlwinds or the dust goes dancing, but where cactus grows and nothing else. "In either sort of territory you know what is to be expected; it will surely happen, but a great deal of the land is subject to the vacillations we have mentioned. And the causes are less difficult to find than to prevent. "What a country! Portions of it change so little that we have the tale of a Chicago woman who came down to live in this eternal spring, and as the mercury of the barometer did not so much as tremble she was certain that the instrument was out of order, and she broke it! "In those other regions that we have described a laborer would formerly have chosen one of three professions—brigandage, rebellion, gambling. "Now the former has been more or less blotted out by the rurales, rebellion does not always offer the antique inducements, and the disappointed laborer falls back on gambling. He is not restricted to the lottery. "There is said to be a time for all things, and in Mexico it is the local feria (the fair) when every gambler is supposed to let his instincts revel. He can start to play soon after sunrise, and if he should be unfortunate, can visit, now and then, the image in whose honor the festival is being held. "Monte, roulette and lotto are the chief games. It is curious to see a circle of adults, thought of the poorer classes, solemnly seated at their lotto cards and wait until the fish or bird is called. . . . "There is a demand for fighting cocks. . . . The cock fight in itself is unattractive, being but a matter of some seconds.

Peru the Source of Cocaine. There is a shrub in high Peru which does not bring the blessing of the potato—I mean the coca tree, whence comes cocaine. The leaf is chewed by young and old. Some doctors say it is very bad for the people of Peru. The infantile death rate is high. And they say few old persons are to be found. Other doctors aver that the coca leaf is very good for the peasants. I am inclined to take a view between the two opinions. I met a man in Cuzco who was running a grocery store, and Professor Gliesecke told me they had very good proofs in that town that he was a hundred and fifty years old. He sold me chocolate and also coca leaves. I chewed the leaves to try to cure an ulcer in my stomach, and they helped me more than all the medicines of civilization that I had tried—National Magazine.

MPEROR WILLIAM highly pleased the democratic element which is anxious he should make it possible for them to remain loyal to him, by his gracious consent to the morganatic marriage of Prince Oscar, his fifth son, and the sprightly Countess Ina von Bassewitz-Levitzow, the empress' of honor. Indeed the recent history of European royalty would lead to the belief that the mysterious theory of "equal birth" is rapidly breaking down. Since beautiful Princess Sophia of Saxe-Welmar killed herself because she was restrained from wedding a simple nobleman the disintegrating tendency has been still stronger. Probably the greatest single factor in breaking down the walls of Hohenzollern tradition of exclusiveness is the curious position of Queen Mary of England. She is the granddaughter of a German morganic marriage. Her grandfather, son of Duke Alexander of Wurtemburg, renounced his royal rank to contract a morganic union with the Polish Countess Claudine von Rhedy. He was then created prince and duke of Teck. So the Tecks do not belong to the "higher nobility" of Germany. This class includes only those who hold the title under the holy Roman empire. If Princess Mary of Teck had remained in Germany she could only have been the morganic wife of even the youngest son of a reigning German family. Indeed, her marriage with a member of a family which had once reigned, but long ago lost its possessions, would have been morganic. By this quintet theory of "equal birth," a marquis or even a duke may not have the "equal birth" of a plain count, supposing the count family is in the musty old list of the holy Roman empire and the duke and marquets are not. The inconsistency of the "equal birth" theory was once admitted with much sang frold by Kaiser Friedrich, father of the present emperor, according to an anecdote widely quoted. A country gentleman of the lowest rank was discussing families with Friedrich and finally exclaimed: "I can't say I understand all these rules, but I claim my family is quite as good as the Hohenzollerns." "Very true," quoth the kaiser, "but the Hohenzollerns have got on faster!" Perhaps the better standing of "unequal marriages" is to be attributed to the almost uniform felicity of such matches. Two non-royal marriages in the English reigning family, that of Queen Victoria's daughter Louise to the duke of Argyll and of King George's sister Louise to the duke of Fife, turned out most auspicious to the parties directly involved and at the same time did much to build up the present good feeling between the English rulers and their people.

There was little romance about this transaction, but the king proved happier with his morganatic wife than he had been with his mate of "equal birth." So eager was Prince Constance of Hohenzollern to marry morganatically the daughter of Baron Schenk that he abdicated the governorship of the principality of Hohenzollern in 1850 in favor of the king of Prussia.

The countess's best friend in her love affair has been the Crown Princess Cecilia, whose brother is the grand duke of Meklenburg, of which the countess' father is minister of state. Coming from the same place to Berlin, and with the same vivacity, good looks and pleasure in pretty clothes and piquant society, they naturally formed an alliance against the stiff and conventional surroundings.

The day after the marriage of Prince Oscar and Countess Ina the royal bridegroom will confer a settlement upon his wife. This is the "morgengabe" (morning gift), from which the term "morganatic" comes. The marriage ceremony differs from the usual custom in that the bride joins her right hand to the bridegroom's left hand (a token of their unequal birth) and for this she cannot inherit the estates of her husband or receive his royal name. Hence, the day after the marriage he bestows a new title upon her, according to the arrangements of the state, and a financial settlement. This morganatic marriage is considered as founding an entirely new family. The kaiser will grant the family a new name and Prince Oscar will be paid a lump sum instead of his princely allowance.

This morganatic marriage is considered as founding an entirely new family. The kaiser will grant the family a new name and Prince Oscar will be paid a lump sum instead of his princely allowance. Morganatic marriages have from time to time been attacked as equivalent to concubinage. This is a mistake, for the whole system of morganic marriages has been built up by the Protestant church to preserve the purity of the marriage relation and at the same time preserve the sanctity of royalty. The royal bridegroom cannot marry again in the lifetime of his morganatic wife unless she is regularly divorced. The children take the title and rank of the mother, but they invariably obtain high office and rich emoluments from the royal family when they are grown and, as in the case of the Tecks, frequently marry into royalty.

"So that the people who are hard of hearing can get their money's worth." --- the heads of the talented woman until her tormentors received the well-deserved title, "souls of lackeys." The colonel of a Prussian regiment stationed in Meiningen forbade his officers to greet the wife of the duke (now a baroness) when she passed them. The Hohenzollerns ignored her. By a curious coincidence on the day when his son publicly announced his coming morganatic marriage the kulser for the first time sent a message of friendly greeting to the wife of his "cousin of Saxe-Meiningen," who that day attained her seventy-fifth birthday. But while the Bassewltzes never have had the privilege of "equal birth" with royalty, they have held the honor of knighthood as far back as they can be traced. It is to be noted that the Bassewltzes were knights in the days when the ancestors of the Princess Fugger was a master weaver in Augsberg. Yet the Fuggers now have the privilege of "ebenburtkertke!" The countess captivated the hearts of all Germans who have met her, as well as the members of the royal family, by her sparkling wit and by AT THE CONCERT. And before he would allow the guides to hitch him to the rope and drag him to the surface he compelled them to set down in writing the exact amount they would require for the performance of their life-saving duty.

India has 315,000,000 people, less than half of whom can read even the native vernacular. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS "The farm is the place for the people of my race," said H. P. Ewing, in referring to the Kaw Valley Truck Farm company. "We aim to come to Kansas City and hire our help. Men who are loofing around the street corners now will be given an opportunity to earn good wages and also will be taught practical farming in all its branches. "We are now employing nine men at the farm and will have' employment for 60 when harvest time comes. As fast as our capital will permit we will lease other lands, carrying out the same system in vogue at our present location, which we call Farm No. 1. Judge Sims of Kansas City, Kan., has promised that he will parole to us some of the negroes' sentenced for minor offenses, so that we may make better men of them." Among some of the ideas Ewing has put to practical use in his plan for intensive farming is in the raising of spinach. This he drills in and cultivates thoroughly, resulting in a plant that commands a ready market. Between the spinach rows he plants tomato vines. In 20 days the spinach is harvested and the tomato plants are in shape to furnish another good crop from the same piece of ground. In one plot of 20 acres on the association farm he has watermelons, tomatoes and turnips. Between the watermelon rows are two rows of turnips, and between the turnip rows a row of tomatoes are planted. The watermelon vines curling around the tomato plants steady them during hard winds, resulting in a sturder plant, while the tomato plants furnish shade for the watermelons, each benefiting the other and at the same time making the ground produce twice what it otherwise would. While a board of directors controls the Kaw Valley Truck Farm company, the farm work is under the direct management of Ewing. The officers are: Rev. J. R. Richardson, president; Rev. Bowen, vice-president; Rev. D. B. Jackson, treasurer; H. P. Ewing, secretary and manager; Rev. George McNeal, assistant treasurer; N. Chickles, auditor; J. F. Bradley, attorney—Kansas City Star. No wonder the colored men, with the habits and traditions inherited from slave ancestors, tends to idle self-indulgence, where work is to be had for the asking, and food to be obtained by the occasional use of net, od, or gun. A colored family can be brought up in rude abundance if the head of the household earns in cash even as little as $150 or $200 a year, and this he can do by working two days a week. On most of the tidal streams a boy of ten can supply the family with fish much of the year by tending a set net morning and evening. There are basket-making communities where all adults who choose can earn from $1 to $2 a day the year round. There are canneries where men and women are employed for most of the year in canning oysters, vegetables and fruit for nearly ten months out of twelve—Exchange. Attempts recently were made to grow tobacco commercially in the south of England. In Ireland the department of agriculture for several years has offered substantial bounties in connection with this industry. However, neither in Ireland nor in England has the attempt gone further than the experimental stage. The christening of the steamship Liberia, the "Back to Africa" vessel controlled exclusively by negroes, took place at Galveston, Tex. The Liberia was waiting to take a large number of negroes to Africa under the leadership of A. C. Sam. Speech making and the breaking of a bottle over the bows by an Oklahoma negro girl formed the christening ceremony. New York will have the highest jail building so far erected if present plans are carried out. It will be built in Thirtieth street, near Sixth avenue, will be 14 stories tall and will cost about forty-five thousand dollars. It is planned chiefly for the care of women prisoners. In the Malay peninsula an English naturalist has discovered a species of ant that makes its nest in the fleshy stems of ferns that grow on the limbs of trees high in the air. Probably the highest death rate of any city in the world belongs to Cochabamba, Bolivia, where there was a mortality of 75 in each 1,000 last year. The Bank of the Philippine Islands received about April 1 from the syndicate mine in Masabe a consignment of 500 ounces of gold, valued at $10,000. This makes the second shipment from the same mine in two weeks. The smallest tax bill in New York is on property in Tottenville. The assessment is $1 and the tax amounts to one cent a year. The city already has spent four cents for postage stamps in an effort to collect the one cent. Saving the Gables. The success achieved in the past by various societies organized for the prevention of infant mortality and disease has been so notable that the public generally is likely to regard the activities of baby week with more attention and more favor than are usually granted to similar spectacular movements. The record of work done attests not only the worth of the service but the right of the workers to ask further help, public or private. According to figures given out by the Creek-Seminole Agricultural college, founded by President J. C. Leftwich, under the Christian churches, is the most potent factor in developing the town, and Christian education and agricultural training among the Indian and negro youths of the town, community and state. Mr. Leftwich founded this college seven years ago, without a dollar to begin with, with the encouragement of J. H. O. S. Smith, formerly minister of First Christian church of Oklahoma City, Okla.; he ventured to build a large institution. It was believed, among the people of the town, community and state, that to build a school of such character out in the forest, and in a new country, was simply folly and out of the question. Pluck and tenacity dominated the spirit of the young man to try, if but to fail. To the astonishment of all, Mr. Leftwich succeeded, in seven years, in building up a plant valued at $25,000, 300 students, and faculty of eight instructors. Eighty of the students are full-blooded Indians. Mr. Leftwich was succeeding nicely up until the 18th of May, 1912, when his main building burned, at a loss of $10,000; five students were burned to death. This was a great blow to the president and to the college. Mr. Leftwich is still determined to build a great institution, and asks the aid of his brethren in the effort to do so. This is the finest field in America for the brotherhood to help build and foster a college for Indians and negroes President Loftwell has been traveling in the North for 12 months, appealing to the Christian churches to help him in his hour of struggle and trials. He is attempting to raise $2,000. The college proper will be located on 40 acres of land, as an agricultural experiment station. This institution is located in the heart of the red and black belt of Oklahoma, only 20 miles from Craz (Indian) Snake's "Stamp" and camp grounds. This institution now calls on the churches and interested friends to raise $2,000 at once—Exchange. How long will the negro be upon this step of life's ladder, depending upon the whites for assistance? The monotony is unpleasant to the ear in this progressive age. If they have been like the grasshopper, instead of the ant, consider the punishment as the reward. If they had learned self-reliance in the nineteenth century the negro problem would have been solved today. If negro men would form stock companies to purchase lands, erect buildings and establish stores they would not be dependent upon the white union for work. Apparently they have not the necessary confidence.—Exchange. Bohemia has a forest area equal to 29 per cent of its total area, and the quantity of wood cut annually averages 6,474,105 cubic yards, of which 4,316,070 cubic yards are suitable for building and manufacturing, and the remainder for fuel. Bohemia exports annually about one million three hundred and seven thousand cubic yards of forest products to Germany. As a result of promising surface indication of petroleum near Villamartin, a small town 27 miles from Jerez, the Spanish government has appropriated 700,000 pesetas (approximately $126,000) for exploring the region thoroughly, and has sent a force of engineers into the field. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago has sent his check for $25,000 toward the erection of a building for negro men by the Young Men's Christian association of Kansas City. This is the fifth city to receive a like sum for Young Men's Christian association buildings for negroes. Besides Kansas City they are Washington, Philadelphia, Indianapolis and Chicago. A popular drink among the peasants of Russia is called quass. It is made by pouring warm water over rye or barley meal. It is fermented liquor and is very eour, but has been used for years by these poverty stricken people. Sandy Archer, a former slave, believed to be one hundred and twelve years old, died in Hayden station, Conn., at the home of M. M. E. Garrett. He had lived there for more than sixty years. At the close of 1911 the asylums in Ireland held 24,655 insane, or 5.63 to each 1,000 population. In 1880 it was 2.50 in each 1,000. Philo Thomas of La Prairie, Wis., is wearing a pair of the old style knee-high variety of shoes which he says he bought in Janesville in the spring of 1872, 42 years ago. He has had them rebuilt four times.

Last year the rate was only 102. This represents the saving of the lives of upward of eight thousand babies within a single twelvemonth—New York World. Beast and Burden. In savage countries woman is a beast of burden, and in civilized countries man is a beast and woman is a burden—Like THE ONLOOKER HENRY HOWLAND The TREE of GOSSIP Three gossips sat alone one day, And where they were a tiny seed- The little seed of truth, indeed- Unharmful and unhidden lay. Ere they had gossiped long the shell Began to open, and a sprout, At first half timidly, peeped out, And grew as something watered well. The stalk was big and coarse and strong, And sticky leaves upon it hung. Each shaped as is a gossip's tongue- The tree filled all the room ere long. They dragged the slimy trunk outside. And there the warped tree spread and grew, And there by every breeze that blew Its fertile seeds were scattered wide. The gossips three behind the tree That from the little seed had grown; A stench from every leaf was blown. Its fruit was horrible to see. They held their noses and they turned Their backs upon the horrid sight; The tree had met with much delight. With shaken their checks at parting burned. Technical. Mrs. Ducksey—What business is your husband in? Mrs. Fastleigh—He manufactures wind instruments. Mrs. Ducksey—Oh, indeed! Now, that's a chance for my son, George. He's wild to get a flute. Do you think he could get one at your husband's factory at cost? Mrs. Fastleigh—I—I really don't believe he could. You see, the wind instruments my husband makes are bicycle pumps. How? "Smithson claims that his wife is the most beautiful woman in this town." "How is he going to prove it? Has her portrait ever been used as an advertisement for face powder or massage cream or anything like that?" CHOOSING HIS TIME. A Charley — S o you've decided to ask Miss Dallington's father for her, have you? By George, you have more courage than I gave you credit for. Fred—Courage? Why, I think no more of facing that man today than I would if he were not half as large as he is. Charley—I'm astonished! Fred—You see he's laid up with a severe attack of gout. Fatal.

"I know it," shouted a man in the gallery. "My wife succeeds in making me contradict myself every time I try to explain to her when I have been out late at night." "Would you recognize a former husband of yours if you should meet him in the street?" "I'm sure I don't know—or, yes, I think there are one or two of them that I would know almost anywhere."

Then the wild wierd notes of distant chimes, As dreams which lead me on to worlds unknown. Sometimes a tuneful instrument lures to sweetest rest, With charms of strangest symphonies. Sometimes a mighty orchestra engulfs the soul, Rising and falling in grandeur, and astounding, Again the dulct lulls and then the in-expressible Music that hints of peace divine. A world of poetry and song, touching, then solemn I soar to realms of beauty, of love, then contentment. This manna that feeds the hungry soul, When relaxation of things material, Then mind knows harmony for its very own 'Tis the music of the muse, Divine Thought Blessing. And the whispering of angels which delight To drink in the rich notes of Truth- mind. To have the dark waters of mentality or thought Turned into sparkling wine or inspi- ration Is sweeter than chiming 'bells or heavenly notes of the harp. —Charles A. Starks.
