Samuel Vernon Held on Charge of Shooting With Attempt to Kill,— Shoots Self Also. Victim Long Employed at The Delmonico, Kansas City's Fashionable Restaurant. Both Expected to Recover Samuel Vernon, a waiter in the dining car service of the Burlington Route, lies on a cot in the old City Hospital, slowly recovering from a self-inflicted wound which he made upon himself Tuesday morning about 11:30 o'clock just after having fired four shots at Mrs. Nora Vernon, his wife, from whom he had been separated for some time. Fashionable Restaurant Scene of Shooting. The cause of the shooting is said to be jealousy. It is said that Vernon went to the Delmonico cafe, 1512 East 18th street, about the noon hour and sought to have a conversation with his wife. When she refused to stop to converse with him, saying that she was too busy, she turned to carry her orders to the kitchen. With apparently no real reason Vernon then drew his revolver and fired four shots in her direction, three of them taking effect in her side and shoulder. Vernon then turned his weapon upon himself, but inflicted only a slight wound, from which he is expected to recover soon. Firing of Shots Cause Commotion. For awhile 18th street was wild with commotion, the telephone wires being kept hot with the sending out of the news of this very regrettable affair. When the police had recovered the assailant he was placed under heavy guard and sent to the old City Hospital until he can recover. The guard still remains over him, and when he is able to, he will have to face a charge of shooting with attempt to kill, placed against him by the police. Victim a Faithful Employe. Victim a Faithful Employee. The body of Nora Vernon was carried to the Phyllis-Wheatley Hospital where her wounds were given the best medical attention. At our last call she was doing only fairly well. The victim was a faithful and trusted employee at the Henry Compton Delmonico cafe, having been employed by Mr. Compton for a number of years.

Lovers of tennis who fail to see this final game before the "big doin' is" will miss a treat, for the skill are displaying exceptional skill, and the game will be a surprise. The slogan in St. Louis is "beat Kansas City," and the determination in Kansas City is that we won't be beaten. The St. Louisans say that the Kansas Citians think they can do anything they undertake just a little bit better than anybody else, and we think it well said, but the St. Louis men say that they are going to show us on the seventeenth that this is not true, and we Kansas Citians are willing to be shown. Our team leaves Kansas City for St. Louis, Sunday morning, at 10 o'clock over the Alton, and the players will be Professors Cook, Page, Grisham, Westmorland, Drs. McCampbell, Smith Low, Messrs.

THOMAS POLLARD, WILLIAM JOHNSON, HOMER CAUL, Committee. WELCOME ELIZABETH RICHARDSON SLEEPS Succumbs Suddenly on Floor at Court of Calanthe. Death comes to us all, it misses none; the rich, the poor, the high, the low, are allike gathered into his garner. There is nothing so common as death; nothing so universal. 'Tis the common fate of all; and yet, when this Grim Monster stealthily embraces a loved one, he is a stranger, with whom we cannot acquaint ourselves. Last Thursday afternoon, August 6, marked the close of the career of one of the oldest, in point of service, and most useful and loyal sisters of the splendid organization, known as the Sisters of the Mysterious Ten. Though she had been in falling health for several months, yet the community was shocked when it received the sad intelligence that Sister Elizabeth Richardson had suddenly and without warning, taken her departure for the Great Beyond. She had left her home on this memorable afternoon, apparently in better health and spirits than she had been for several days previous. She was attending her Calanthean meeting in Castle Hall, and was on the floor addressing her superior officers and coworkers when suddenly she received the summons from her God. There was no hesitancy; no faltering. For her death had no terror. Forty years ago she had met him at the gates of hell and had wrested from him his sting. The Almighty had placed King Victor's crown on her head and the stamp of salvation on her forehead. So, when the summons came she had but to step in the Charlot as it swung low and was wafted into the city celestial. True, it came unexpectedly, but she was ready; for she had said only a few months previous in her temple meeting; "Children I am growing old and feeble and my time is short with you, but whenever I fall, I shall fall in the arms of Jesus." Here was a useful life. Those of us who knew her best can truthfully say she did not rust; she wore out. Twenty-four years a member of the Sisters of the Mysterious Ten; twenty-four years of activity. She was one who had made every day count for something as concerned the sisterhood. Sister Richardson was a charter member of Sylvester Temple No. 24 and in these last years of her life, when disease had played sad havoc with her dear old frame, rendering it impossible for her to do as her heart so desired for her temple, she kept her dear old fingers busy making sofa-pillows, quilts and other things to be sold, the proceeds from which she gave to her Temple. Not only has Sylvester Temple, Sanhedrian Court of Calanthe, and Allen Chapel lost a tireless worker and a loyal, true and tried member, but the community is bereft of a strong advocate of Christian womanhood and right living. We mourn with Sister Annie E. Floyd, the beloved daughter of the deceased, in this hour of sad bereavement, but we entreat Sister Floyd to find comfort in the words of two of her mother's favorite songs: "Servant of God, well done Rest from your loved employ, The battle's fought; the victory's won. Enter your Master's joy. and "Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep." Asleep in Sessus, messed up. From which none ever wake to weep. A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes." The funeral was held from Allen Chapel, Sunday afternoon, August 9, at two o'clock, under the auspices of Sylvester Temple No. 4. The following program was carried out; Owen Kelanty, Flee As a Bird Organ Voluntary ..... Flee As a Bird Miss Edna Hammett Miss Edna Hammett. Invocation .....Rev. J. W. Hurse Song.....Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me U. B. F. and S. M. T. Choir. Ceremony .....Sanhedrian Court of Calanth Heading Oltuary .....Geo. W. Teeters Sermon .....Rev. W. H. Thomas, assisted by Rev. J. W. Hurse Solo .....Blessed One Mme. Sara L. Hammett. Resolutions .....Arlivia C. Watson, Juveniles Resolution .....Neighborhood Mrs. Nannie Oxley. Resolutions .....Hosanna Royal House No. 5 Mrs. Eliza Linn. Resolutions .....S. A. Haworth Council No. 1 Mrs. Lula Bates. Resolutions .....Golden Gate Temple Mrs. Calloway. Resolutions .....Sylvester Temple Mrs. Roy Reed. Song.....Servant of God, Well Done Led by Mrs. Francis I. Wilson Led by Mrs. Francis J. Wilson Cremony ... Sylvester Temple Song ... Christian's Goodbye U.B. B. and M. T. Choir The floral offerings, 36 in number, were beautiful and profuse. Three among them deserve special mention on account of their extreme beauty and elaborateness. The Golden Gate Ajar, with three beautiful white doves artistically arranged upon it, standing up three and a half feet, was the offering from Golden Gate Temple of which Mrs. Floyd is Princess. This Temple went further in its great desire to show its deep and unrestrained sympathy for its leader, by it turning out in a body. The Star and Crescent, was the offering from the Juveniles of which Mrs. Floyd is Mother Matron, and last but by no means least was the exquisitely beautiful Triangle, from Sylvester Temple. The resolutions as may be seen from the program were numerous and their expressions were those of deep and profound sympathy mingled with prayers and entreaties for the consolation of the bereaved family. Sister Richardson leaves to mourn her loss, which we believe was Heaven's gain, a loving and devoted daughter, two sisters, one brother, three grandchildren, and a son-in-law. "She sleeps; wake her not, Her slumber is profound, Her dreams are peaceful, of the hallowed spot, And angels hover round. "Sleep on, beloved, sleep and take thy rest." Lay down thy head upon thy Savior's breast. 'oodea We loved the well but Jesus loved the best AAGNULD LEMVIE By request of the daughter, Mrs. Annie E. Floyd. CONDOLENCES. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 9, 1914. "There is no death; an angel from above. Passes over this earth, with swift, silent tread, Takes our best loved ones away. And then we call them dead." August 6, an angel from Heaven mounted his steed and rode to Castle Hall and claimed for his own, unknowingly to herself and friends, Sister Elizabeth Richardson. As she left her home, the home she loved so well, how little did they dream that she would never enter it again in this life. Never would she see those dear grandchildren again, or look upon the face of the daughter she loved so well. "Mother is free from pain of oppression, No friend could prevail with her longer to stay; She smiles on the fields of eternal protection... While death, like a bridegroom attends her mourn. tends her way." Sister Richardson was not a member of Golden Gate Temple, but we loved her just the same. She was the devoted mother of our beloved Princess, Annie E. Floyd. She came and visited our temple whenever her ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME PRICE. 5c. health would permit. She was always willing to aid or assist us and her presence in our temple was like the sunshine is to the flowers. Her sweet smile and encouraging words we all loved to see and hear. We have lost a loving mother, a dear sister and a kind friend, but let us hope, however, in the language of the scripture, "I go to prepare a place for you," that in the golden summer of another world we will meet again. "Some day, some time, our eyes shall see the dear ones kept in memory. Some day her hand will press our hand, just over in the Promised Land." Mother Richardson loved to have her friends about her, to converse with friends was her great delight; of their society she never seemed to tire. Her daughter and grandchildren were her thoughts and care; for her the home was bright and fair. Many years they had traveled together, hand in hand, in foul and fair weather. "Like a child at rest she sank to sleep And Death stole in the harvest to reap. Forever on earth she has closed her eyes. She has bidden farewell, never more to rise. The Holy Father's will must be done, Praises be given to Fa'er and Son." "Peaceful be thy silent slumber Oh Mother dear, Theo' no more you'll join our number, Oh mother dear. I place these roses on thy breast, Sweetly lie and take your rest. Respectfully submitted, BIRDIE L. GALLAWAY. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 9, 1914. "After the pain and sickness The tears hear all she had sown." The tears have all been wiped away. After the flowers are gathered. No more on earth to decay; After the deep heart sorrow, An end of every strife; After the daily crosses, A glorious crown of life." Sisters, again all wise God has visited our ranks and taken from us Sister Lizzie Richardson. Sister Richardson was a devoted member of Sylvester Temple No. 24, and a faithful Christian. She had been a member of Sylvester Temple ever since its organization, which is about 21 years. Until she began to fall in health it was never too cold nor ever to warm for her to attend her meetings. She was always first to be at the doors when they were opened. Sister Richardson was always ready and willing to do whatever was assigned her. It was a pleasure to her to be doing something for her temple as she always said, "This Temple is my heart." Oh, how we loved her, but God loved her best. And you say, "She is dead?" No, she is only sleeping. Yes, sleeping in the arms of Jesus. To the heart-broken daughter and family, "Wipe away your tears." We know you did all you could for your mother. Oh look on the bright side. God is too wise to be mistaken. Yes, too just to be unkind and doeth all things for the best. Her chair in Sylvester Temple will never be filled. Oh. how we will miss you, but sleep on, sleep on, Sister Richardson, we will meet you in that Grand Temple above where parting will be no more. Be It Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be placed on the face of our minutes, a copy sent to the beavened family, and a copy to the Kansas City Sun for publication. Respectfully submitted, MRS. SARAH JACKSON, W. P. MRS. IDA MATTHEWS. Sec. CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our gratefulness to the neighbors, friends, Temples and Courts for their deep and sincere sympathy shown us during our late bereavement caused by the sudden death of our sainted mother and grandmother. Your acts of sympathetic kindness and your thirty-six beautiful floral offerings shall ever be held in grateful remembrance by us. We wish especially to thank the two trained nurses, Mesdames L. E. Ingram and N. B. Oxley for their tender and efficient care, and also Mesdames Cora Clay, Tom Greer, Eveline Freets and Letha Greggs for their tireless efforts to alleviate the painful surroundings.

Golden Steam Dye Works 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? 10.4 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 MOFF-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 Snops 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.

NEXT WINTER LIKE THE LAST United States Appellate Court Fails to Hand Down Expected Decision at St. Paul. Kansas probably will have no more gas next winter than it had last. The failure of the United States appellate court at St. Paul to decide which family of receivers shall have the disputed receivership funds will prevent the Kansas state receivers from carrying out their pians for obtaining a larger gas supply. The receivers named by the Kansas court had planned an extension of sixty miles of pipe line into new fields. It could not be completed now before February or March. The case was advanced on the appellate court docket and heard in May. The court took it under advisement. A decision, expected a week ago, was not given. Now it will be of little benefit. "With the thermometer at the present mark few citizens are thinking about gas, but I have been thinking of little else." Willard Breideental, receiver for the Wyandotte County Gas company, said recently. "My company will be able to supply just the same amount of gas it supplied last winter. It is too late now to make the extensions to the new fields and should the decision come at once it would be of little benefit to Kansas. The receivers could do nothing without money and we cannot get the gas unless the pipe lines furnish it." R. J. Higgins, attorney for the receivers, made a similar statement. Mr. Higgins said he had hoped for an earlier decision. The pipe line company furnishes the gas for both cities. It can obtain no more until the question of the right to spend the funds collected by the receivers is decided. NEWTON HAS $500,000 FIRE Flames Destroy Entire Block of Business Buildings Near the Santa Fe Depot. Fire that broke out in the Newton auditorium at 2 o'clock in the morning wiped out an entire business block in the heart of Newton and caused a loss of $500,000. Probably $300,000 in insurance was carried on the property which burned. The principal business houses burned were: McManus company's dry goods and furnishing store; Newton Gas and Electric Company's office; Will May's shoe store; Duff & Sons, furniture and undertaking; Newton Lumber Company's yards; Herold Book and Publishing Plant; First National bank; several rooming houses, restaurants, shoe shops and small confectionery stores. The Wichita fire department went to Newton on a special train and assisted the Newton department. Mayor Duff, whose place of business was burned, personally led in the fight against the fire. ★★ An Atchison Manufacturer Dies.—Charles F. Hooper, a school furniture manufacturer, is dead at his home in Atchison. Mr. Hooper had been in ill health two years. He is survived by a widow and three children. Leopard Dined on Boy's Arm.—When Lester Hannon, 11 years old, thrust his arm through a door in the bottom of a leopard's cage at the Barnum & Bailey circus here Friday night he couldn't draw it back. The leopard seized it, and before attendants could drive it away, ate part of the flesh on the arm and hand. The boy's father sued the circus for $6,000 immediately after the accident, and the management had to put up a surety bond for that amount before the sheriff would allow the big production to leave town. Doctors say the boy will not lose his arm unless blood poisoning results. Enjolins Sunday Show Men.—There will be no performance at the Pittsburgh theaters on Sunday. A move by A. B. Keller, county attorney, and Ben S. Galtskill, attorney for the anti-Sunday leaders, accomplished what two trials and many arrests have failed to do. The prosecutors applied to Judge Curran in district court for an injunction against the theater men, alleging that they were persistently violating the law. Judge Curran issued a temporary injunction. Some Colt This.—"Green" Berry, a farmer living east of Atchison, exhibited a colt there recently which it is believed holds the northeastern Kansas record for size. The animal is only 15 months old and stands 15½ hands high and weighs 1,295 pounds. Banks Remove Restrictions—All the Wichita banks have removed the cash payment restrictions established on the declaration of war. There is plenty of cash now in the Wichita banks to pay all demands of depositors. Joke on Depew. An episode on the Yale bicentennial in 1901 illustrated the readiness of President Hadley's intellectual resources. One of the distinguished guests was the representative of the University of Upsala in Sweden. This gentleman, when received by President Hadley and the corporation in the reception room of the Art school, delivered a long address in Latin. As soon as he had finished, President Hadley made a lengthy reply, also in Latin. "Well, well," said Chaucey M. Depew—at least the story represents him as saying—"I never knew that President Hadley could talk Swedish!"—World's Work.

State Highway Commissioner Sends Out General Appeal For Co-Operation, SUGGESTS PLANS FOR WORK Officials Anxious to Improve on Last Year's “Good Roads” Days if Possible. Frank W. Buffum, state highway commissioner, has sent out a general letter, urging co-operation on the part of all farmers on the two “Good Roads” days on August 18 and 19, designated by Governor Major. The farmers are asked to turn out en masse and help improve the high: ‘ways. ‘The highway commissioner sug: gests that preliminary meetings be ‘held in all communities and that the various townships strive to work on ‘a systematic plan. Lack of organiza: tion, he says, hampered the work on the “Good Roads" days last year. Among other suggestions offered are these: ‘That a “good roads” sermon _ be preached in every church on Sunday, August 16. ? ‘That the automobile be called into service in the work of keeping ice water supplied at yarlous points for the road workers. ‘That the women co-operate to the extent of providing meals for the workers and that it be thoroughly understood at what points the meals are to be serwed. There was con. fusion in this regard last year and some of the road patriots went hungry. That it be understood that every ‘owner of an automobile is expected to give the reasonable use of his ma chine for service on the two days. The Pee’ Uoeraig C.

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 newspapets, all bearing the distinction og colored. My already tired brain and sun strained eyes al- most refused the task that was set be- fore. But from somewhere and some: ‘how I gained courage, and plunged in by strting 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 pour- nal was so poor that one could not even properly translate the answers to Booker Washington's article, ask- ing for better traveling accommoda- tions for Negro passengers over cer- tain ralroad lines; which was brave- ly undertaken, The Dallas Express came in for a similar criticism while the Boston Alliance and Conservative Counsellor 1s vold of that harmon- lous toning with other pirts of the papers on account of too much front page advertisement. In others there were simflar and even more grievous errors. ‘The eolored papers that take first rank in typographical cleanliness and mechanical accuracy are the Amster- dam News, Richmond Planet, Kansas City Sun, and New York Age. It is with no small degree of ap: preciation that 1 review the merits and demerits of these journals and Journalists, who are struggling as | am; for to publish a Negto journal at this perlod means sacrifice at every stopover. 1 see written in great red headlines at the head of the mean est effort in the way of a Negro jour nal these words, “Self Sacrifice.” Our readers are more sensitive to Mterary abuse in a race paper than they are to the big dailies, 1 ofter have a man come into my office tc complain about a stick of matter up side down in the last issue of an arti clo that was backed up the wrong way. Now, if he, perhaps, knew that my day had been 36 hours instead o! 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 iit jtle in relieving the situation, For whenever you see faults standing ou conspicuously in Negro papers ther Js but one conclusion to come to, anc that is that finance is oh, so short. Now, don’t stand apart and laugt Jeeringly or criticise an effort tha you yourself are not brave enough t make.

Now comes the news that belligerent tops are now occupying points of advantage on the "Dark Continent." The present year has been a notable one for conventions, and Kansas City has had her full share. But the convention of conventions is yet to be held. Next Wednesday morning when the National Negro Business League meets in Muskogee, Okla., the biggest and most important convention of Negroes will be held. Two dollars a year and your unquestion good will and support of deserving Negro enterprises is all that is asked. When Kansas City's big delegation returns home next Saturday they will have a great story to tell. We could tell it now, but it will be better told then. Then wait. PURE FOOD, PURE AIR, PURE WATER. In an advanced section, taken from the 1914-1915 Negro Year Book, pure air, pure food and pure water are set forth as the three graces of health. An interesting little booklet, this, for it contains much new information concerning the "South and the Conservation of Negro Health." It is set forth herein that the average life of the Southern Negro, which is now 35 years, can, where sanitary science and preventive medicr are applied, be increased to 50 years. Further, it states that 450,000 Negros in the South are seriously ill at all times, a loss of 18 days a year for each Negro inhabitant, the annual cost of this sickness being $75,000,000, the annual loss (112,000 workers) $45,000,000 annually. The following table indicates the diseases most fatal to Negroes: Disease of infancy . . . 27 per cent Tuberculosis . . . 18 per cent Pneumonia . . . 11 per cent Disease of the heart . . . 8 per cent Bright's disease . . . 7 per cent Diarrhea . . . 6 per cent This report is made after careful research of the records of the entire South as regards Negro health.

The Sunday School, meeting at 9:30 o'clock; is growing, and the church as a stranger's home, doing good work. Rev. Norfleet is very ably assisted by a most gracious wife.

One of the most brilliant social affairs of the season was the formal reception given by Prof. Joe E. Herrford at his beautiful home, 1217 Woodland avenue, to Mr. and Mrs. Joe E. Herrford, Jr., on last Friday evening. The house was elaborately decorated with ferns and palms and over two hundred guests graced the happy occasion. Those in the receiving line were Mr. and Mrs. Joe E. Herrford, Jr., Mrs. Sallie C. Rogers, Miss Eda Herndon, Miss Effie Feniston, Miss Josephine Martin and Miss Anabel Montgomery, Mr. Herrford was further assisted by Mrs. A. M. Wilson, Mrs. Zella Porter, Mrs. Anna Gilliam, Miss Naomi E. Twyan and Miss Genevieve Wilson. Mrs. Walter Lindsay and her mother, Mrs. Christine Twyan, left this week for a short visit with relatives at Sioux City, Ia. Mayor Rolla Rothwell delivered the welcome address to the Masonic Grand Lodge held at Moberly this week, and Prof. Joe E. Herriford of this city, responded upon behalf of the visitors. Fortunately none of the Colored teachers of the city were spending their vacation in Europe and unless the war extends to Benton Harbor, all will be back on time for work, September 8. The vesper songs of the young Baptist College students reverberating through the corridors of the Massie building on Sunday evenings, would be very objectionable to the neighborhood six blocks away, so the Christian protestors say. A writer to the "Public Mind" column of the Star, says that the Baptist school property should be purchased as a new site for Mercy Hospital, which cares for poor afflicted children "regardless of creed or color. Since when, may we ask? The enemies of France learn with relief that Jack Johnson may not join the French army after all, owing to a lack of finality in his naturalization. The champion is reported to be greatly disappointed, but his disgust will not prompt him to return to America. Allen Chapel and Ebenezer each realized big financial returns from the three weeks' open-air carnival and religious services. The former is now back at the old stand and the latter is pushing to completion its fine stone edifice at Sixteenth and Lydia. It is always the friend from the unexpected source that comes to you in adversity. Those who have been swearing by you and enjoying your boasty all the years are usually far away in the hour of real need. Therefore, do all you can for every one and expect few returns from any one. That's the right dope. The open letter from Dr. J. H. Garnett on the school removal question is forcible and manly. Its sober consideration ought to appeal even to the most confirmed Christian Negro hater. There is no real reason for objection to locating this religious institution in its new quarters unless jealousy, prejudice and hate have become christian virtues. Mrs. G. R. Baldwin, M. E. S., Golden State Council No. 123 X. U. K. 1. of A., Los Angeles, Cal., and Mr. George Walker of this city, were pleasant callers at the Sun office.

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. Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 20, 1913. Dear Madam Dabney: I am a mother of four girls. In trying to improve their hair I had tried several preparations, but none gave me good results until I used Madam Dabney's XXth Century Preparations. Their hair was thin, harsh and would fall out so that I dreaded to use a comb. Now their hair is growing nicely—does not fall out—has no dandruff—is soft and pretty. Three of these girls are attending Wendell Phillips School, Howard and Vine streets. Investigation will bear out my testimony. I would not be without the XXth Century Preparation in my house.

Van de Water Intimate and Human, Intensely Alive, Each Story Presenting a Problem Which Might Occur to Any One of Us at Any Time WHOM GOD HATH JOINED UR greatest sin as a people is sham." The words strike straight home. And to nothing do they apply more trenchantly than to our theories and teachings with UR greatest sin as a people is sham." The words strike straight home. And to nothing do they apply more trenchantly than to our theories and teachings with regard to marriage. Were we more honest, there might be fewer weddings, but there would also be fewer divorces. The woman who "brought up" Louise Morton had no such iconoclastic ideas. She was one of the women who had, all her life, called a spade "an agricultural implement." To her, delicacy and what she termed modesty were the requisites to morality and decency—whether they were true or false. Left a widow with an only daughter, she had trained this daughter as if she were preparing her for the life of a num. When the girl married, bore a child, lost her husband, and died, the mother took the orphaned grandbaby to her lonely heart and held her close there, figuratively, until a man of whom she approved, because she liked his bearing and manners toward herself, and with whom the unsophisticated girl had fallen in love, asked the devoted grandmother to give her darling into his keeping. It would be untrue to say that the grandparent did not shrink from parting with her grandchild, but the feeling of grief was not unmixed with one of relief that the responsibilities which she had carried alone for so many years were to be shared by another, and that the girl's future happiness was assured. That is the way some parents and guardians think of the marriages of their charges—especially men who can provide comfort for them. "They lived happily forever after" is their idea of the finale to girlhood, courtship, and marriage. The man or woman who knows life may be pardoned the cynical smile caused by this conviction of the idealist. Mrs. Phelps was such an idealist, and she talked much to Louise of the romance of love and marriage, the union of two souls, the merging of two individualities into one perfect whole where there would be mutual affection, trust, and comprehension. And Louise, talking with the man who had been won by her fresh young beauty and girlish innocence, told him of these theories. As Tom Marshall was a man of the world, he was glad that his soon-to-be bride knew nothing of the life that he knew, and, to humor her, he expressed his agreement with all her views of the existence they were to lead together. When the Marshals had been married for a year, they seemed to the outside world to be happy. The disillusion that had come had been received by the wife dumbly. Even her husband did not suspect the inward shudder with which she saw the ideal changed for the actual, the romance for the reality. All the happy anticipation of motherhood of which she had read and heard was hers. She fashioned the tiny garments as she would have embroidered an altar-cloth, and met the anguish of birth as a martyr might endure the suffering that would admit him to glory. When she awoke from the unconsciousness following the pain and found her tiny baby lying beside her, she smiled wanily at her husband. "I once read," she whispered, "about helping God find a soul in the dark, and that's what I have been doing. But I've found it." Tom Marshall was glad that she was happy and safely through her trial. Away down in his heart there turked a shadow of disappointment that the baby was a girl. "But it's a fine kid." he acknowledged to the doctor. "And perhaps the next one will be a boy." When he said as much to his wife, she looked at him with wondering eyes. "I cannot understand," she said faintly, "how any woman can dare go through such anguish twice." Yet, two years later, when the second was coming, she wrote to her grandmother—now living in her old home in the south—telling her of the approaching event, and hoping that the elderly woman would try to be as contented as she was at the prospect. "Children are all that makes life worth living," she wrote. But, on reading the letter, she erased a part of the sentence and wrote in its stead. "Children are among the things that make life worth living." Even her grandmother must not suspect the truth. When the second little girl was a month old the nurse left, for Louise was able to be up and about. She did not confess to doctor or nurse how weak and "shaky" she felt. She would get up, she determined, so that she could take care of Constance, the older baby, herself. She was not satisfied when the little one was out of her sight. She would not trust any ignorant, perhaps coarse, servant with her child. Since her marriage she had grown morbidly sensitive with regard to all things that were not refined, or that were vulgar or common. THEATRICALS IN YEAR 1765 Hamlet Used His Sword to Drive the Encroaching Audience From the Stage. Before the curtain went up the audience was treated to a number of selections on the harpsichord by the young Mozart as he appeared at the Haymarket Little theater in 1765, of whom it was written that "all the overtures were of the boy's own composition." Next came the ar- So, prompted in all her dealings with her children by her belief in their need of her personal care, she took charge of her babies as soon as the nurse left. On the first night that she was alone with Ruth the second child, her husband told her he was going to the club. He explained that, during her illness, he had not had the heart to mingle with any of his friends, but tonight, unless she objected seriously, he would like to run out for a smoke and a game of cards. Louise hid the consternation which she felt, and answered colorlessly. "Of course you must go if you wish to," she said. "But as I am not very strong I hope you will not be out late. I might need you." "Maggie is at home," he reminded her. "Yes," she ascerted, "but when one maid does all the work it is hardly fair to disturb her rest at night." "That's true," agreed Tom good-naturedly, "but I feel blue this evening and want to get away. It's been lonely here with you sick so much lately." "It's a bit lonely tonight for me, too," she reminded him gently. "Ah, yes, but you have your baby," he replied. "She is your baby, too," she asserted, with a little quiver in her voice. Then she tried to laugh. "Go out, Tom, if you want to. I will get on all right, I think." Tom Marshall meant to come home early, but a number of his friends were at the club, and most of them insisted on drinking to the baby's health and he drank with them. He found it good to get with men again, and wondered how some fellows seemed satisfied with the company of one woman most of the time. Then he remembered that Louise was waiting for him at home, and he looked at his watch. It was after midnight. One of the men suggested that they start for home, and Tom left the club with a member who lived near him. He stumbled as he went up the steps of his house, and his fingers fumbled so when he tried to fit the key in his front door that his friend took it from him and turned it in the lock. "Go upstairs softly, Tom," he warned him, "or you will wake your wife." "And what if I do!" asserted the husband, more loudly than was necessary. "I'm master in this house!" He slammed the door behind him. Louise, lying awake after several hours of wretched nervousness, heard it all. She also heard him start to come upstairs, and the banister creak as he leaned heavily against it. Springing up, she slipped on her bedshoes and wrapper, and went to the head of the stairs. Her husband, near the top, staggered against the wall and looked at her with a foolish smile. "Waiting for me, eh? Goin' to kiss me or scold me?" She turned sick as he came toward her. "Tom," she said in a hoarse whisper, "you've been drinking too much!" He frowned. "That's a nice way to welcome a man home isn't it? I tell you I've only had a couple of drinks. You're informally suspicious, that's the matter with you!" He started toward their room, the room in which both of the babies slept, but she laid her hand on his arm. He looked at her and gave a short laugh, then threw his arms about her and drew her to him roughly. "Confound it, but you're pretty with all that hair hanging around your face! You ought to keep it that way all the time! I say, old girl!" holding her at arm's length and looking at her with a maudlin smile, while teases reddened his eyes, "don't get mad at me! Let's kiss and make up!" "No, no!" she gasped. "If you have a spark of decency in you, don't touch me again! You will make me hate you!" She turned quickly toward the small room in which the nurse had slept while she was with them. "Here," she said hastily, "is a bed all ready for you. Let me help you undress." The warmth of the house was beginning to have its effect on the man's brain, and he was too stupid to argue. He sat down on the side of the bed while his wife took off his coat and unfastened his collar and necktie. Then he pushed her aside and pulled himself to a standing posture. "I'm going to sleep in my own bed, Louise," he affirmed, "I won't stay in here." "Then the babies and I will have to sleep in this small room," she said. "You're too good to stay near a fellow that's had a drink, eh?" he sneered. "No," she replied calmly, "but my little daughters are." The bed looked inviting to the drowsy man, and he started toward it, then stopped and glanced at the door of his own room. "Aren't you going to let me kiss the babies good-night?" he quavered with a silly whimper. "No," said the wife firmly. Then, as he sat down on the side of the bed. rival of a "royal personage," and down through the stalls, attended by his suite, and preceded by Kemble holding a candelabrum, came the august gentleman to be placed with many bowls in a seat near the stage. John Philip Kemble then reckt a well-written prologue done for the occasion by Arthur Scott-Craven, and to the cry of an orange wench in the audience calling "Sweet China oranges," the play began. For the most part the producer has treated his subcubes in a spirit of she stooped and unfastened and removed his shoes. The action roused him for a moment to a sense of fitness, and he caught her hand and kissed it. "Don't do that!" he exclaimed. "That's no work for you! I'll get un-dressed all right. You go to bed." dressed all right. You go to bed." With a muttered good-night the wife went into her own room and shut the door. Very softly, that her husband might not hear her, she turned the key in the lock. Then staggering almost as badly as he had done, she entered her dressing room beyond and washed her face and hands, scrubbing with feverish intensity the spot on her hand which the hot and flabby lips had kissed. As she lay down on her bed her tiny baby stirred and whispered. With a passionate movement she snatched the child from the crib and pressed it to her breast. "Oh, my baby, my baby!" she murmured, "my poor little woman-child! If it were not for my children I would get out of it all!" And then she whispered the only prayer that had come to her mind that night, "Lord, let me live until they need me no more, until I have taught them to hate the things that I loathe, until I have made them believe in things as they should be, not as they are!" As years went on Tom Marshall never interfered in the training of his daughters. He loved them and petted them. In return for an uncritical and over-indulgent devotion they gave him warm affection. "Dad is such fun!" they would say as they grew older. "He is always in a good humor." True to her determination to spare her daughters the knowledge of the sins from which she shrank, the mother fostered in them a belief in their father's goodness. Still, even her most intimate friends did not suspect that there were more thorns in her lot than in that of the average wife and mother. "Perhaps there are not," she would muse. "Perhaps all men are like that." Then her reason would insist that this was not so. She had made a mistake, she acknowledged to her inner self, in marrying a man whose ideals did not coincide with hers. Once her husband suggested tentatively that she might be making a mistake in the training of her girls. "Constance is sixteen and Ruth fourteen," he reminded her, "and they know just about as much of life and its problems—yes, and its facts—as they did when they were born." "They know all that is needed," she said defiantly. "They know enough to hate to lie, to tell the truth, to shun vulgarity, and to love God. That will carry them pretty safely through the world." "It is the kind of training that you had," mused Tom Marshall. "Do you think it fitted you for what was before you." "My training was not to blame for what came later," she began, then checked herself. After a moment of silence her husband said, doubtfully: "Perhaps you know best what girls need, but that kind of teaching, without knowledge of things as they are, would ruin a boy." "Thank God I have none!" she ejaculated fervently. It was on Christmas Eve of that year that Louise Marshall, coming suddenly into the drawing room, found her husband standing under the mistletoe he had just hung, his arm about the waist of the pretty governess who had lived with them for the past two years. The suprised pair tried to laugh, and the girl caught Mrs. Marshall's hand and begged her not to be angry. "It was all in fun, really!" she explained. "But it was a silly thing to do. I did not think twice about it." In a moment the wife had collected her wits and resumed her usual manner. "I understand," she assured the embarrassed girl, "that at Christmas everybody kisses everybody else." And she tried to laugh. "Of course!" said her husband, as he stooped to kiss her. Her hands closed upon each other in a sudden grip, but nobody was looking at her hands. Later, when alone with her husband, Louise asked for an explanation. "Why, Miss Drayton told you how it happened and that it was just a joke," declared Tom Marshall easily. "Don't make so much of a trifle!" "It is no trifle, Tom," urged his wife. "For some time I have been uneasy when I saw your attentions to that girl, but I chided myself for being suspicious, and persuaded myself that you would stop short of familiarity. But you didn't. How can you do such things!" "Well, if you must know," he said, with an attempt at a laugh, "when a woman is a bit in love with a man it is rather hard for him to get out of paying her some little attentions—" His wife sprang to her feet and confronted him, her eyes flashing. "For heaven's sake," she exclaimed, "don't make me despine you as well as distrust you! Any man who says that a woman cares so much for him that he cannot avoid being dishonorable in his dealings with her is a cad; any man who says such things of a woman years younger than he--for gentle burlesque and quite wisely he has gone to some of the most bizarre episodes in the history of the English stage.

You have taken advantage of "he fact that she is in your house to pay her attention and to flatter her until you have turned her head, and now you throw the blame on her!" Tom Marshall shrugged his shoulders and laughed again coarsely. "Well, if she didn't like it I wouldn't do it!" he insisted. "Good heavens!" ejaculated his wife. "Are men like that? Is that the way they talk of women—of decent, pure women?" Again her husband laughed. "Your ignorance of men and of women is colossal," he sneered. "I know many good women, and I know myself," she affirmed stoutly, "and I know—you! "I hear the sneer in that last sentence my lady!" exclaimed the angry man. "And I suppose you think I deserve it! You expected to marry a man who was a creature of your imagination, a kind of Sir-Galahad-Lord-Fauntierio who would think only of his soul and never of his body. And because you didn't find me that kind you feel that you have fallen into the clutches of a brute and a beast. I'm a mere man, that's all I am—do you hear? No better and no worse than hundreds of other husbands whose wives think they are pretty lucky to be so comfortably married. You say you know yourself, and I suppose you think you do. So do I, and I know you are the coldest bit of humanity that ever lived; without feeling, except along the high and low lines laid out by yourself—and ideals no mortal man could live up to. Perhaps if you were a bit different I might be, too. There! take that or leave it as you please!" He flung himself from the room, while she stood white and shaken. Yet ten minutes later, when Ruth came to the door to ask if it was not time to down and light the tree, the mother said cheerfully: "Yes, tell your father that we are all ready for him. Call Miss Drayton, too." And, as the child obeyed, the woman strengthened her faltering will by the thought, "It is for the children's sake!" It was for their sake, too, that a week later, she dismissed the governess of whom they were fond. The "YOU GIRLS STAY AND C IT WILL DO YOU BOTH two girls had never gone to school. Their mother, herself, had conducted their studies until two years ago, when she had engaged a resident governess of whose principles and refinement she thought she might be confident. As the months passed she watched her husband more closely, and, with her whole nature, shrank from his weakness and from what she now began to fear were his gross sins. Looking at her girls, she wondered that she had been able through all these years to guard life and speech so carefully that they suspected none of their father's inconsistencies and sins. In spite of her distrust of him she felt at times a throb almost like gratitude to him for helping her conceal from his children all knowledge of his doubtful habits. People have a way of declaring that there are certain courses that they would never pursue, and of finding themselves suddenly confronted by conditions that put a new face upon these resolutions. Such a time came to Louise Marshall a year after the Christmas when she and her husband had quarreled about Miss Drayton. Tom announced one morning that his sister in Baltimore had written asking him to run on to see her, and that he had decided to go on the following day, Friday. His wife approved cordially of the suggestion. It would do him good, she said, to have a day or so with a member of his own family who loved him as much as did his only sister. To herself she acknowledged that she was glad to know that, during Tom's absence, he was to be in such safe company. He went as planned, assuring Louise and the girls that he would be with them again on Monday evening. On Sunday afternoon a cousin of Tom Marshall's called at his house, and Louise explained to him that her husband was out of town. a large fortune before he retired from the stage. With him were Mrs. Siddons and Mr. Kemble, stamping grandiloquently, bowing low to the applause of eminence in rather a mountebank fashion. This was "an stalking about in an amazing plumed hat, a comic Hamlet if ever there was one (the burlesque must have been laid on rather thick here), and finally, in a passion, driving away at his sword's point the spectators who had encroached too far on the stage.—London Mall "Yes," assented the unsuspectious relative, "I knew that he was away yesterday, for I caught a glimpse of him lunching at the Bellevue-Stratford when I was, in Philadelphia, but I thought it likely that he was coming home last night." Louise suppressed the start of astonishment that threatened to betray her. It was almost twilight, and her visitor did not notice the sudden pallor that swept over her face. "I know," she said steadily, "that he meant to lunch there. Did you have any talk with him?" "No," repiled her caller, "I was in a hurry, and he seemed much engaged in chatting with that nice little governess of yours. What is her name, by the way? It has escaped my memory." Louise moistened her dry lips. "Miss Drayton," she said unalteringly. "Oh, yes! When I saw them I jumped to the conclusion that the girls might be staying down there, also," said the cousin. "No," replied the wife, "they were here. But I asked Tom to take Miss Drayton out to lunchoon, as I had a message to send her. She has not been well, and has been visiting relatives in Philadelphia for some weeks. I hope the little diversion did the poor girl good." Tom returned as expected on Monday evening. His wife had bought tickets for a lecture which she wished the girls to attend, and to which the governess accompanied them. The mistress of the house was thus alone by eight o'clock. She had planned for this, as she would prefer that there should be nobody else at home when her husband returned. It was half-past eight when she heard his latchkey turn in the lock. She sat in the library while he closed the front door, hung his hat and coat on the rack, and came down the hall to the room in which she waited. Then she rose to meet him. He started slightly at sight for her. "Why, Louise! I was wondering where you all were. Didn't you hear me come in? Where are the girls?" He spoke unembarrassedly, and, as his wife looked at him, she wondered if long practice had accustomed him to such self-confidence. "The girls are out with Miss Belk CHAT WITH YOUR FATHER GOOD." den," she replied. "They are at a lecture." "Oh, I see; but aren't you going to kiss your husband when he comes back after such a long trip?" he asked smilingly. She did not move. "Baltimore is not very far away," she remarked, "and Philadelphia is still nearer. Ned Marshall saw you in Philadelphia on Saturday with Miss Drayton. You told me you were going to your sister;s; you went to Philadelphia. I do not know where you stayed, but I do know that you led to me, and that you were with a woman with whom you have already had a love affair." The man's face was dark, and the veins stood out on his forehead, but he did not raise his voice as he asked, "Well, what are you going to do about it?" "You don't attempt to make any explanation?" Her question was very low. "Why should I? You know enough to warrant you in believing that I have been unfailent to you, although you can't prove it. See here, Louise, we may as well understand each other here and now. You think you were cheated when you married me—well, I was cheated, too!" The woman paled. "I have done my best. I have taken care of your home and your children, and I have been a faithful, honorable wife." The man sprang to his feet and towered above her. "Yes, and you seem to feel that that's all there is to marriage—to keep the house clean, to care for the children, and to be strictly moral! Have you in all the time we've been married given me a spontaneous cares? Have you ever of your own accord put your arms around my neck and said, 'I love you?' "I have never repulsed your demonstrations of—affection"—she hesitated at the word "except." her voice Needed No Fortifications. Brave and fearless the Spartan men were; every man a soldier. While other Greek cities were building fortifications to protect themselves from outside invasion the Spartans did nothing of the sort. Their fame as warriors kept all hostile tribes and nations at a distance. That they were entitled to that fame was evidenced at the battle of Thermopylae when 300 Spartans kept at bay the entire Persian army. They might have won the battle, too; but they were betrayed dropped. "when you have been—drinking." "And do you think that's all a man wants—a passive submission to his kisses, an enforced endurance of his love?" For the second time the husband hurled his question at her, "What are you going to do about it?" "I am going to leave you." "And what about the girls?" he queried. The excitement suddenly left his manner. He eyed her calmly, calculatingly, like a person who was sure of his ground. She looked at him in astonishment. "I shall take them with me, of course," she declared. "The law would give them to me, anyway—and when they know the truth they will want to go with me." "Who's going to tell them the truth?" "I shall!" she affirmed. "You needn't try to stop me!" "I shant't try to stop you," he said slowly, steadily. "But before you make that decision I have something to say to you. Sit down again, please; you look tired." "Louise, you may, as you say, tell your children all, but I want to remind you what that 'all' will be. Your teaching, year in and year out, repeated over and over, has been, briefly, that the soul is all, the body its servant; that all decent women shun fleshly appetites and seek soul harmonies; you have told them nothing of marriage except that it is a sort of earthly paradise in which two pure mortals wander hand in hand, and that those who enter it without love sin against God and their own souls; you have warned them that the woman who marries a man who does not regard marriage as she does coarsens her whole being by sinking to his level. You acknowledge that these are pretty nearly the doctrines you have instilled into them, don't you?" The listener bowed her head. "They are what I believe. That I have not found life what I think it should be would not justify me in lowering the standards by which I want my children to live." "That is your way of putting it," said the man. "My way would be that since you have found out that some things are shams, it would be well to prepare your children for the same discovery." "The things that I have taught them are not shams!" began the wife eagerly, but her husband stopped her. "Wait a moment, please, till I finish. You agree that you have declared all these things which you call facts to your daughters. Now you propose to inform them that the man, who you have told them was a good man, was all the time bad, and that you have known it; that he is coarse and sensual, and yet that you have lived with him, as his wife, mind you! —for almost twenty years. What explanation will you give them of that? For children of their age and with their training cannot understand what you call the mother-love that would sacrifice truth and purity for the sake of the beloved object! How will you explain all this? For, mind you, if you leave me, and take my children with you, I shall tell them the brutal facts as I know them—that you have all along known what I am and that you have lived with me in spite of your high-flowed theories; that you have lied again and again to them about me, and that, in fact, you have not lived up to one of the doctrines you have taught them." "Tom, you couldn't do that, you wouldn't do that! Have you no pity, no gratitude, when you remember all that I have endured for you?" But the man did not take her hands in his. "You endured it for the children, Louise, not for me. You know perfectly well that had you not had them you would have left me. But I love them, too, and I propose to fight fire with fire. I shall not disgrace them publicly, I promise you, as long as they are under my roof and protection. But if you attempt to take them from me they shall know just why you are doing so. What is your answer?" The wife started to her feet at the sound of voices in the hall. "Here are the girls now!" she exclaimed agitatedly. "So much the better!" declared her husband. "For you can answer me in their presence. They will not understand, but I shall!" She caught at his arm, but he evaded her, and, striding to the library door, flung it open. "Come in, children!" he called heartily. They came, flushed by rapid walking in the night air and by pleasure at the sight of their father. "It's good to get you back again, daddy!" exclaimed Ruth as she threw her arms about his neck, while less demonstrative Constance remarked, "Home isn't nearly as nice when you're away, dad." The mother turned wearily toward the hall. "Where are you going, mother?" Constance asked. Louise Marshall stopped and looked for a moment at the group. Her figure drooped, and her lips twitched nervously. But her eyes met her husband's steadily as she spoke: "I'm a bit tired, dears, and think I will go upstairs. You girls stay and chat with your father for a while. It will do you both good." She climbed the stairs with a firm step and head erect. But, when she reached her darkened room and closed her door, her self-control vanished. With a sob of anguish and defeat she fell on her knees by her bed, and a moaning broke from her lips: "Lord! be merciful to me, a hypocrite!" (Copyright, by Moffat, Yard & Co.) from the rear, and the 300 Spartans fought until every one of them was dead. Original Meaning of "Jovial." Jovial once meant the type of character supposed to belong to all persons who were born when the planet Jupiter or Jove, was in the ascendant. They were supposed to possess more of the cheerful elements of character than others, and hence to partake of the benign qualities attributed to the father of the gods. HOMETOWN HELPS WARNING TO AMERICAN LIFE Seen In Congestion, Ugliness and Discomforts of the Average English City. If the English city presents in its congestion, its ugility, its discomforts, a horrible warning to American life, experiments like that at Hampstead present a hope and an inspiration and a way of avoiding the urban evils which followed in England the mad deluge of the industrial revolution. For the chief value of building beauty into the collective life of a city is that thus the ideas and principles which animate that beauty are given the most effective and dramatic form. Every one can feel the charm of open spaces, of effective vistas and the harmonious grouping of buildings; a village like Hampstead attracts immediate and widespread attention, and becomes the leaven which leavens a broad lump. Though it is the external form and not the inner spirit and motive which are being coped, already in the countryside about the village are to be seen the inspiration of the model; new building estates are being developed in the frankest imitation of the Hampstead principles, while pioneer rows of unregenerated brick villas stand tenantless, unable to compete with the new idea. And if a village composed on these principles can permeate its own vicinity so quickly and so completely, it almost guarantees itself as a model and inspiration for the builders of the cities which men of the twentieth century will find fit to live in.-Randolph S. Bourne, in the Atlantic. LINE RIVER WITH BEAUTY Cities Along the Mississippi Are Building Attractive Water Fronts. Cities that line the banks of the Mississippi, all the way from Keokuk to Memphis, are "running a race" to outdo each other in beautifying the water fronts. The river terminals of the small city today are not even surpassed by those of the metropolis. River walls and driveways, flower beds and shady promenades now grace the landings of the more progressive river cities in Missouri and Illinois. Cape Girardeau has announced that it proposes to surpass even the Mound city for a beautiful levee. That ancient city sits on a hill blessed with natural beauty, and the union of two slopes, one from the north and one from the south, form a picturesque water front. But Cape Girardeau isn't satisfied with natural beauty alone. It is going to improve on nature. Promenades and driveways will run the full length of the city along the river, and sand-wiched between them will be flower beds more than a mile long. It is said that Cape Girardeau will have one of the finest and probably the prettiest river front along the Mississippi. -&Sq Louis Republic. COUNTRY TOWNS ARE NEEDED The local merchant is not only a necessity, but a benefit to his community. If there were no country towns and no country merchants the whole fabric of our system of trade in the agricultural states would be changed. It would be inconvenient for farmers to send to distant points for everything needed and would, on the other hand, be impossible for them to do efficient long-range marketing of their produce. Town property and adjoining farm lands are increased in value through the prosperous extension of town trade and the building up of towns in centers of thriving sections. It is therefore of joint benefit for farmers and tradesmen to work together for the stimulation of home trade. Farmers cannot be expected to patronize home trade from motives of sentiment only. If they can get better service, including personal inspection of the goods before buying and the guarantee to replace them or correct imperfections, they will find it more satisfactory than the alleged advantage of buying of the catalogue houses. Artificial Silk. Much artificial silk is made from cotton or pine wood pulp completely dissolved. This forms a slightly viscid fluid which is pressed through fine holes. The strands coming from these holes, after being solidified and purified, have an appearance very similar to genuine silk, but they are solid instead of hollow, about one-eighth as strong as real silk and very much weaker when wet. There are several different kinds made by different processes, but none of them are as strong or as durable as genuine silk and none will endure heat and moisture as well as real silk. Most of them would be ruined by moltening them and attempting to press them with a hot iron. Worth It.

MONTE CARLO'S ENORMOUS PROFITS the recent annual general meeting of the "Societe des Bains de Mer de Monaco," or "Monaco Sea Baths company," showed that the net profits for the working year 1913-14 amounted to $4,006,729.55, an increase of $320,000 over the net profits for 1912-13. This handsome profit is not by any means made out of the bathing establishment on the sea front under the shadow of the rock of Monaco, and which, by an amusing piece of fiction, is supposed to constitute the reason for the company's existence. Indeed, though I have been to Monaco a good many times, and once lived there for four months, I never discovered any foreign visitor who went to the sea-bathing establishment to take his bath, and as for the natives . . . well, the minority who do occasionally take a bath are invariably provided with free admission cards, says a writer in the New York Times. The profits which enable the Monaco Sea Baths company, to pay such substantial dividends are exclusively derived from the Casino, or clubhouse, which belongs to the company, and which is erected on the adjoining promontory of Monte Carlo. Pursuing the pleasant fiction which gives the company its name, it may be pointed out that when erecting the bathhouse half a century ago, the directors, in their wisdom, came to the conclusion that a physical reaction generally occurred after a sea bath, and that it would be well to provide possible baths with some form of mild excitement which, while stimulating the nerve centers, would not raise the temperature unduly. Prompted by such a praise worthy motive, the directors obtained permission from the then reigning sovereign of the little princealty—namely, Prince Charles III—to build a "house of recreation." in which a number of games should be installed, and especially a game known as "roulette." I have heard it stated, but cannot, of course, guard the truth of the story, that the late M Blanc called upon the prince and showed his highness the little cylinder or wheel, with its red and black "spokes" and its numbered edge, and explained the working of the game of roulette, Charles III, who had received a Christian training, looked distressed. "Dear me," he is reported to have said, "I am afraid this seems very much like gambling;" but the bishop of Monaco, who had had some previous conversation with M. Blanc, and who was present at the interview, intervened opportunely. The right reverend gentleman suggested to the prince that it seemed to him, judging from M. Blanc's explanations, to be "rather a scientific form of propounding, in a recreative manner, the interesting theory as to the laws which govern chance." The prince, who was probably less innocent on the subject than his bishop, asked no better than to be convinced, especially as he was to receive a very substantial annuity in return for the concession. So, on May 13, 1888, the foundation stone of the Casino was laid, and the bishop attended and read prayers for its success. Monte Carlo at that time was a very different sort of place to that which now exists. Certainly it enjoyed a beautiful climate and the sunshine was perpetual, but there were no roadways, no palm trees, no hotels and no flower gardens. The few tumble-down houses that existed on the hillside were fuller of fleas than of guests, and the little pocket handkerchief principality was so poor that a tax on bread had been established, and the inhabitants were in the proverbial condition of the patient Job. Of course, a railroad had never been heard of in these parts; communication was by steamboat or by an old-fashioned coach once a day from Nice. Without loosening his sway over Homburg, which was then the queen of gambling resorts, M. Blanc set out to transform Monte Carlo into a sort of earthly paradise, not forgetting Eve and the serpent. Into this place poor Adam has wandered ever since, only to leave it, most of the time, in the same denuded condition as his first ancestor left the Garden of Eden. The native-born inhabitants of the principality have every reason, on the other hand, to bless the advent of the Casino; they pay no taxes of any kind and live in a sort of land of milk and honey. All the cost of upkeep, the laying out of the roads, the sewerage, the paving, the gardens, the police, administration of justice, lighting, armed force, and, indeed, the public services of every kind, are paid for by the foreigner—namely, out of the money he leaves on the green cloth tables at the Casino.

PRINCE OF MONACO HE offici- ment, issu- the recent- of the "Sco- de Monac Baths com- net profit HE official statement, issued after From the Day of Mary Wollstonecraft to That of Helen Keller is a Long Jump. Occasionally a glimpse of the past throws fresh light on the present. In 1792 Mary Wollstonecraft made her classic plea that women should be treated as human beings. One feature of the attitude of that day is vividly brought out in this paragraph from her NAPLES BAY C A DETAILED VIEW OF THE MONTEX CARLO CASINO to be so poor as to have to beg for a living is promptly turned out of the principality. There are no paupers in Monaco. In renewing the concessions in 1898 for a long term of years the prince stipulated for the payment of a sum of $5,000,000 from the Monaco Sea Baths company in installments over a period of 5 years, and, furthermore, he draws an annuity of $250,000. Moreover, the company has to "contribute" substantially to certain "works of public utility" carried out in the principality. That the company should be able to do all this and still make larger profits than ever is surely an eloquent testimony to the blindness of the "punters" who frequent Monte Carlo in such numbers during the winter season. The gambler never goes on strike, and neither wars, nor financial crises, nor pestilences, nor the ever-increasing cost of living seem to interfere with the steadily advancing prosperity of the Monaco Sea Baths company. It is only loss of time to attempt to persuade the "punter" that he can never really win, and that, in the long run—try any system he likes—he is mathematically bound to lose. If you told him that only one in every thousand gamblers can hope to win substantially he would still be convinced that he was the thousand. It has been estimated that an average of something like $100,000 in hard cash falls on the green tables daily throughout the year, and not a season passes that one does not meet with hundreds of people who have come to Monte Carlo to attempt the impossible, namely, to seek a fortune at the tables. This year the dividend was raised from 335 francs per share to 350 francs. The share, the nominal value of which is 500 francs, or $100, is now quoted on the Paris Bourse at 5,590 francs. Roulette made the fortune of the Blanc family, who are now multimillionaires, while at Monte Carlo, and, indeed, throughout the little principality, M. Camille Blanc is only second in importance to the prince. With two machines and a few hundred pounds in notes the Brothers Blanc applied to the prime minister for permission to start operations in one of the rooms at the hotel. The following year, 1843, the Brothers Blanc obtained from the landgrave of Hesse-Homburg the exclusive right to carry on public games of chance in his domination, for which they agreed to pay the sum of £3,200 per annum, and undertook to build a "Kursaal," and lay out a public promenade.

This year the dividend was raised from 335 francs per share to 350 francs. The share, the nominal value of which is 500 francs, or $100, is now quoted on the Paris Bourse at 5,590 francs. Roulette made the fortune of the Blanc family, who are now multimillionaires, while at Monte Carlo, and indeed, throughout the little principality, M. Camille Blanc is only second in importance to the prince. With two machines and a few hundred pounds in notes the Brothers Blanc applied to the prime minister for permission to start operations in one of the rooms at the hotel. The following year, 1843, the Brothers Blanc obtained from the landgrave of Hesse-Homburg the exclusive right to carry on public games of chance in his dominion, for which they agreed to pay the sum of £2,300 per annum, and undertook to build a "Kursaal," and lay out a public promenade. Then it was that the newspapers of Europe began to "boom" the waters of Homburg as a certain cure for all troubles of the digestive organs, and for liver complaints, and the --- to beg for a living is the principality.

The principality of Monaco has had its fair share of the extraordinary prosperity brought to the place by the gold left by gamblers from all parts of Europe and America. Fifty years ago the entire land and the buildings erected thereon, exclusive of the prince's domain, could probably have been bought by a speculator for $500,000. Statistics drawn up for official purposes in 1911 showed that the approximate value of the land and buildings in the principality—exclusive of the prince's domain and government property—was 227,000,000 francs, or $45,400,000. There is a mild "Uitlander" question in Monaco, for the 1911 census showed that out of a total resident population of 19,121 persons no less than 17,639 were foreigners and 1,482 Monagasques. Even in this small number all were not genuine Monagasques, the inhabitants of native-born stock belonging to native families who have lived in the principality for at least two generations only numbering 635, the others being naturalized subjects. Roulette was banished from France in 1837, from England in 1853, from Germany in 1872, and from Belgium within quite recent years. It is making its last stand in Europe at Monaco, which, as everybody knows, is an independent and sovereign state, about as large as an English country parish. The company has a concession which expires in 1947, and until that time it can only be dislodged by the payment of such a formidable indemnity that no reigning prince, even if so minded, would venture to repudiate the concession. Perhaps by that time the powers will have brought pressure to bear to end the career of Monte Carlo as the gaming house of Europe, but meanwhile it must be admitted that few investments have brought such profit to their shareholders as has the Societe des Bains de Mer de Monaco. Gambling is one of the strongest passions of human nature, and so long as it is openly catered to in one of its most reproved and, therefore, most enticing forms as at Monte Carlo, so long will it make fortunes for the caterers.

A QUEER SIDE. able blindness or babbles!—Kansas City City Lawn Precautions Landscape gardeners of the department of agriculture declare that lawn mowers should be set so high that the grass will not be cropped close. They declare raking or sweeping disturbs the soil and that if the clipped grass remains where it drops it will form protection to the roots and keep the lawn in good condition during dry weather. SAVING TIME AND STRENGTH Proper Planning of Household Duties Will Do Away With Much Unnecessary Wear and Tear. The housewife should carefully study the conservation of her strength and energy during the hot weather. All the short cuts to housekeeping, as well as the many little devices for saving time and labor, should be carefully considered. That is one of the best features of the modern housekeeping. It teaches the conservation of energy, of training the head to save the heels; the adding of the element of inventiveness and scientific thought to the problem of the home that will save the wife and mother from unnecessary wear and tear. Careful menu planning is one of the means by which she may reduce her labor—by omitting many dishes laboriously made that are often served from force of habit. The mother and grandmother probably handed them down as prized possessions, and it seems almost a sacrilege to omit their preparation, even though it means hours over a hot stove. By substituting others of equal food value, but which require less time and labor in preparing, much time and strength may be saved. A more careful study of food values will soon enable even the busiest housewife to do this. The same reduction of labor may be made in regard to clothing. There are so many fabrics on the market that are equal in appearance if not superior to garments made from those that often require hours and hours of the most arduous toil over the wash tub or ironing board to make ready for a few hours' wear. When the housewife studies the elements of the science of utility and proportion that underlie even the commonest household task she will then be guided more than ever by common sense, which avoids unnecessary work, worry or any of the things that rob a woman of her birthright of pleasure and happiness and make her look old before her time. MAKE USE OF RASPBERRIES No Other Fruit More Suitable for the Tit-Bits That All the Family Raspberry charlotte is made from one pint of raspberries, half a pint of bread crumbs, two eggs, one pint of milk, two ounces of powdered sugar, one ounce of butter. Butter a pie dish and sprinkle with bread crumbs, then put in a layer of raspberries and sprinkle with sugar. Repeat the alternate layers of crumbs. raspberries and sugar until the dish is full. Beat up the eggs with milk and pour into the dish. Scatter a few bits of butter on top and bake in a moderate oven. For a delicious raspberry pudding take half a pint of raspberries, six ounces of bread crumbs, quarter pound of powdered sugar, quarter pound suet, two eggs and half a pint of milk. Finely chop the suet and mix with the sugar and bread crumbs. Beat the eggs separately, then with the milk and add to the other ingredients. Lastly add the raspberries. Put the mixture into a greased mold and steam from two and a half hours to four hours. Raspberry porcupine requires a large stale sponge cake, half a pint of berries, one pint of made custard and two ounces of sweet almonds. Stew the raspberries gently with a little sugar and set them aside to cool. Scor out the center of the sponge cake and fill the hole with the raspberries. Pour over it the custard and when partly cool stick it all over with blanched almonds. Custard Sauce. Add a pinch of salt to a pint of milk and scald in a double boiler. Pour this over the yolks of two eggs which have been well beaten and added to one-half cupful of sugar. Stir for a few minutes, then pour back into the double boiler. Cook until smooth and creamy, but not too thick to pour easily. When cold flavor with one scant teaspoonful of vanilla or almond, or better still, crack a few peach stones, blanch the kernels and cook them with the custard. Potato and Olive Salad Cut into dice four good sized boiled potatoes and add 15 stoned olives cut into good sized pieces and two hard-boiled eggs also cut up. Sprinkle with salt, olive oil and vinegar and fold together; set on ice for an hour; add half a cupful of stiff mayonnaise; cover with what is left, and put a few rings of olives on top. This can be made very attractive nicely arranged on a bed of lettuce leaves. Recipe for Bran Bread Doctors now prescribe dieting foods largely in place of medicine. Nothing is better for constipation than bran bread. Here is a recipe that has been tested and is palatable as well as healthful: Four cupuples of sterilized bran, two cupuples of white flour, two cupuples of buttermilk and one-half teaspoonful soda. Bake until thoroughly done. Add raisins if desired. Creamy Cocoa. To make a delicious, creamy cup of cocoa or chocolate, add a pinch of salt to the usual ingredients. When the whole comes to a boil beat with a Dover egg beater for two minutes; the scum, which is so unsightly and distasteful, will not form. A marshmallow placed in each cup before pouring the cocoa rises to the top and takes the place of whipped cream as well as giving a delightful flavor. Flight the Fly. The files will keep you fighting these days. Clean up every dirty spot around the house and barn, and go over every floor and window screen carefully to see that there are no broken spaces. Helpful Tenices. Garlic, leeks and olives stimulate the circulation of the blood. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The recent visit of Dr. Booker T. Washington to this city and the splendid address which he delivered brought to mind an incident of a few weeks ago, relates the Chicago News. A young negro of what might be called the diletante class, was heard saying to a newly arrived stranger: "Don't tell any one in Chicago that you are from Tuskegee institute." To this advice the stranger without hesitation replied to the effect that he was proud to be identified with an institution that meant so much constructively in the life of his race, and that any one who was conversant with the needs of the people served by the school could not be disloyal to it. The former young man did not necessarily mean harm, but unfortunately he misrepresented the spirit of this great city. Chicago, sharing the American ideal, is in harmony with movements everywhere which makes for human uplift, and her representative citizens are as eager to encourage in Alabama as well as in Illinois any organization representing an investment in useful, nondependent citizenship. The Tuskegee institute is not only an efficient school for training the negro in manual arts and in agriculture. It is primarily a school for human culture, indeed for race culture, considering the important part it has played and is destined to play in the education of the negro race. It took the world a long time to acknowledge the truth that physical control and the workman's skill in the manipulation of his tools and the practice of his art are as essential contributions to human welfare and to appreciate the are from an academic point of view or to translate classical writings or declipher fascinating problems in mathematics. Those who from apathy, indolence or prejudice have not kept abreast with the trend of education and the progress of the glorious humanitarian movements of this day are the ones who date upon what a living age has buried in books. They offer no helping hand in the solution of vital problems. The Tuskegee institute is an active agency not only in education but in social amelioration. Truly there can be no complete appreciation of the work that Doctor Washington is doing for this country if the appalling need for this work is overlooked. As this need is realized so will the friends of the work increase, together with the encouragement and inspiration of his benevolent supporters. At an expenditure exceeding $10,000,000 London will build a dock a sample enough to accommodate any merchant steamer affoat or which will be likely to enter the Thames for many years to come. A thousand persons gathered in Epiphany church in G street at Washington to bid farewell to James. For forty-one years James, the colored sexton, had rung the chapel bell that called the parishoners and greeted their arrival with a happy face. He was accorded honors at his funeral service that no person ever buried from that church has received. The aged negro was given the distinction of having a funeral address preached for him, as sermons on burial occasions are never given in the Eposcapal service. Five hundred colored people attended the service and were ushered into their places by the usual church attendants. The Panama canal is lighted along its entire length by electricity, for lighthouses, buoys, etc. A recent bulletin issued by the census bureau giving mortality figures for the year 1913, seems to have made a deep impression in the South because of the ominously high figures for the negroes in the southern cities. These are the deaths per thousand: | White | Negro. | | :--- | :--- | | Memphis | 15.9 | | Richmond | 16.7 | | New Orleans | 15.6 | | Baltimore | 16.2 | | Nashville | 14.7 | | Birmingham | 12.3 | | Atlanta | 13.5 | | Washington | 14.4 | The Atlanta Constitution vigorously calls attention to this situation, pointing out that the diseases which cause such a death rate among the negroes must, in the close contact of urban life, be a menace to the whites, and that, therefore, the whites have a selfish interest in improving the standards of negro life.—Springfield Republican. A serious-minded Englishman read a paper before the Royal Statistical society the other day, in which he recommended that a card index registering the details of the lives of every person should be kept at some central government office. Every person would have his number, according to this scheme, which already has given considerable amusement to Punch and the humorists generally. Electric vehicles are now being used in the streets of London for sprinkling and sweeping. Stocking Economy. Children's white hose that are merely worn at the top from pinning them up, and are good everywhere else may be made into nice little socks. Cut them off at the top and crochet an edge of color to make them pretty and to prevent theirraveling. To keep the many pairs of children's stockings in a large family separate sew two inches of very narrow tape at the top and back of each stocking. Except when being worn each pair is kept tied together. It does "Give the negro a chance." This was the theme that thrilled through the address of Booker T. Washington when he spoke at Chicago before the convention of the International Sunday School association in Medinah temple. Mr. Washington proved to be one of the most popular speakers that have addressed the convention and his appeal to the Sunday school leaders to help the negro and to give him a chance brought repeated applause from the delegates and visitors who filled the big hall to overflowing. "What the black man needs is the old time religion," said the speaker. "That's the theology I want to take to my people. The negro is better off close to the soil and in the South, and I want to keep him there, if you will bring the Sunday school to him. Take the old theology to him, the theology that says, 'Thou shalt not steal,' 'Thou shalt not kill,' 'Thou shalt not bear false witness,' 'Thou shalt not commit adultery.' "I want no man's sympathy because I am a negro," he said. "I thank God every day that I belong to this race. I wouldn't change places with the whitest man in America. We have problems to solve, such problems as the white man has not, and my people need some one to lead and help them. But remember, it is not always unfortunate for a race to have problems to confront; such problems turn races into kingdoms and nations." The resolutions committee reported to the convention and resolutions favoring a federal law for the regulation of marriage and divorce, a single standard of purity for both sexes, rigid laws against commercialized vice, lotteries and gambling, consoling of moving pictures, the abolishment of child labor under the age of sixteen, the destruction of the liquor traffic, the advancement of international peace and the observance of the sabbath were passed. Country negroes of the better type are good workers and thrifty managers, pretty sure to become ultimately land owners and self-employers. Negro ownership of land in the South increased 150 per cent in the first decade of the twentieth century. But in this advancement of the best of the race from tenantry and wage working to larger or smaller agricultural proprietorship the author sees a bad influence upon those less fortunate or deserving, an agency making for the deterioration in character and efficiency in the labor left available for the white man's plantation; her observation and interest seem to be rural and agricultural more than urban and industrial. And the unreliability of this labor is in turn responsible for devices verging upon peonism, holding the laborer to the land with chains of debt; "For many years the South squandered the fertility of her fields. We are learning of late years, slowly and painfully, to build up the impoverished soil, and restore it to its former richness. But we have overlooked the squandered fertility of labor. Until we build up the worker the material on which his work is spent will never yield its normal return. The houses of very many farm laborers are more than enough to sap their vitality, to destroy ambition and self-respect and to foster immorality and disease. Conditions like these flich from the community its capital of human productiveness."—Mrs. L. H. Hammond, in her book "In Black and White." The president of Urugued is reported to be considering the advisability of creating a national printing establishment to undertake all the printing work of the various government departments. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes has for its purpose to protect colored women from moral and financial exploitation, to provide playgrounds and recreation centers, to organize boys' and girls' clubs and neighborhood unions of adults, to secure and train negro social workers, to develop co-operation among welfare agencies, to provide employment facilities to fit workers for their occupation, to provide probation care for juvenile and adult delinquents, to render neighborhoods free from vice where respectable people may have homes, and to investigate city conditions among negroes. Its headquarters are in New York. Argentine telegraph companies are bringing into general use a system whereby messages are received automatically with printed type. In the days of old Rome a woman's character was known by her dress. The toga was worn by the men, but the stola was the raiment for the women. It was a loose garment worn over the tunic, and was usually caught at the waist by a girdle. Divorced women and courtesans were not allowed to wear it. Russia is making great efforts to develop unproductive parts of the Caucasus by preventing river floods and increasing irrigation drainage and canal construction. not interfere with washing them, and there is no tedious sorting when the laundry comes home. Sewing Hint. The best way to reduce mending is to guard against it. You will find that one reason why children's clothes rip is because the seams are sewed with cotton thread, which is brittle. Any dress which will give hard wear should be made up entirely of silk. The sun and water rota cotton, but does not affect silk. WHOM SHALL I EMPLOY?

How welcome this when it reaches our sanctum. How it makes our pulse throb, how it makes our heart dance; The steady subscriber who pays in advance. NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE 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. $ ^{4} $ 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.
