Dr. R. C. Ransom, America's Greatest Orator, at Allen Chapel Sunday Morning A PROPHETIC ORATION ENTHUSES LARGE AUDIENCE IN HISTORIC FANEUIL HALL Reverend Reverdy C. Ransom Discusses the Future of the Negro—Presages Wonderful Achievements-A Fitting Finale to the Boston Garrison Memorial Meeting. A FEARLESS DEFENDER OF THE RACE VOLUME VIII. NUMBER 5. Dr. R. C. Ran A PROPHETIC ENTHUSES LARGE AUDIENCE FANEUIL H Reverend Reverdy C. Ransom of the Negro—Presages W ments—A Fitting Finale Garrison Memorial It was an address by a Negro orator—a fitting close to the two-day celebration of the William Lloyd Garrison century—that stirred a crowded audience of Negro men and women in Faneuil Hall as no white speaker had been able to stir them throughout the whole series of Garrison addresses at previous meetings. They cheered, they shouted, they threw handkerchiefs and hats into the hair. The speaker was Rev. Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom. In part, he said: "It is not a man's right, it is his duty to support and defend his famil yand his home; he should therefore resist any influence exerted to prevent him from maintaining them in comfort; while he should oppose with his life the invader or despoiler of his home. God has created man with a mind capable of infinite development and growth; it is, therefore, a man's right, it is his duty to improve his mind and to educate his children; he should not, therefore, submit to condi- REV. REVERDY C. RANSOM, D. D. Editor of the A. M. E. Review and the most eloquent orator and preacher the race has yet produced. tions which would compel them to grow up in ignorance. Man belongs to society; it is his duty to make his personal contribution of the best that is within him to the common good; he can do this only as he is given opportunity to freely associate with his fellowman. He should, therefore, seek to overthrow the artificial social barriers which would intervene to separate him from realizing the highest and best there is within him by freedom of association. It is a man's duty to be loyal to his country and his flag, but when his country becomes a land of oppression and his flag an emblem of injustice and wrong, it becomes as much his duty to attack the enemies within the Nation as to resist the foreign invader. Tyrants and tyranny everywhere should be attacked and overthrown. "The question which America is trying to answer and which it must soon definitely settle is this: What kind of Negroes do the American people want? That they must have the Negro in some relation is no longer a question of serious debate. The Negro is here 10,000,000 strong, and for weal or woe he is here to stay—he is here to remain forever. In the Government he is a political factor; in education and in wealth he is leaping forward with giant strides; he counts his taxable property by the millions, his educated men and women by the scores of thousands; in the South he is the backbone of industry; in every phase of American life his presence may be noted; he is also as thoroughly imbued with American principles and ideals as any class of people beneath our flag. When Garrison started his fight for freedom it was the prevailing sentiment that the Negro could have no place in this country save that of a slave but he has proven himself to be more --- The Kansas City Sun valuable as a free man than as a slave. What kind of Negroes do the American people want? Do white men believe that 10,000,000 blacks, after having imbibed the spirit of American institutions, and having exercised the lights of free men for more than a generation, will ever accept a place of permanent inferiority in the Republic? Taught by the Declaration of Independence sustained by the Constitution of the United States, enlightened by the education of our Schools, this Nation can no more resist the advancing tread of the hosts of the oncoming blacks than it can bind the stars or halt the resistless motion of the tides." "What kind of an American does the Negro intend to be? The answer to this question he must seek and find in every field of human activity and endeavor. He does not intend to be an alien in the land of his birth nor an outcast in the home of his fathers. He will not consent to his elimination as a political factor; he will refuse to camp forever on the borders of the industrial world; as an American he will consider that his destiny is united by indissoluble bonds with the destiny of America forever; he will strive less to be a great Negro in this republic and more to be an influential and useful American. As intelligence is one of the chief safeguards of the republic, he will educate his children. Knowing that a people cannot perish whose morals are above reproach, he will ally himself on the side of righteousness, having been the object of injustice and wrong, he will not be the foe of anarchy and the advocate of the supremacy of law. As an American citizen, he will allow no man to protest his title, either at home or abroad. He will insist more and more, not only upon voting but upon being voted for to occupy any position within the gift of the Nation. As an American whose title to citizenship is without a blemish or flaw, he will resist without compromise every law upon the statute books, which is aimed at his degradation as a human being and humiliation as a citizen. He will be no less ambitious and aspiring than his fellow countrymen; he will assert himself, not as a Negro, but as a man; he will beat no retreat in the face of his enemies and opperss; his gifted sons and daughters, children of genius who may be born to him, will make their contribution to the progress of humanity on these shores, accepting nothing but the honors and rewards that belong to merit. What kind of an American does the Negro intend to be? He intends to be an American who will never mar the image of God, reproach the dignity of his manhood, or tarnish the fair title of his citizenship, by apologizing to men or angels for associating as an equal, with some other American who does not happen to be black. He will place the love of country above the love of race; he will consider no task difficult, nor sacrifice too great in his effort to emancipate his country from the unchristlike feelings of race hatred and the American bondage of prejudice. There nothing that injustice so much respects, that Americans so much admire, and the world so much applauds, as a man who stands erect like a man, has the courage to speak in the tones of a man and to fearlessly act a man's part. If Americans become surfeited with wealth, haughty with the boasting pride of race superiority, morally corrupt in the high places of honor and of trust, enervated through the pursuit of pleasure or the political bondmen of some strong man plotting to sieve the reins of power, the Negro American will continue his steadfast devotion to the flag and the unyielding assertion of his constitutional rights, that this Government of the people, for the people and by the people may not perish from the earth."—The Transcript KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBR 26, 1914. EVER HEAR OF A FUNERAL PYRE SAVING A MAN'S LIFE? This was intended to be a funeral pyre. But it did TWO consistent things. First—SAVED Alan Law's life instead of TAKING it. Second—Kept a woman's heart from breaking. Two ways you can find out "how"—first: see the pictures or second: read the story. Better still—do BOTH. THE TREY HEARTS By LOUIS JOSEPH VANCE Author of The Destroying Angel—The Black Bag— The Lone Wolf, Etc. See the pictures at Produced MOVING by the UNIVERSAL PICTURES You should know that the Rex Theatre, 2411 Vine street, owned by Dr. E. J. McCampbell, is a motion picture house of the finest quality. That the music furnished by Prof. Roy Gibbs, who is undoubtedly the best picture musician in the city, and Mr. Frank Watts is the best procurable. The operator is a man of experience and handles the two machines with wonderful dexterity so that there is no possible delay between the reels. The pictures are from the Universal Film Co., the largest and most up-to-date film company in the business. Wednesday night an exceptional program was given; in addition to the regular four reels, "Quo Vadis" was shown. The 800 people who witnessed this great play pronounced it the best they had ever seen. Such plays as "Love Victorious," "The Forbidden Room," and the "Sob Sister" have made a great reputation for the house. "Lucille Love" cleaned up. "The Trey O' Hearts," a wonderful story written by Louis Joseph Vance, and in fifteen installments, will begin Monday night. You had better start in with the first number of this great picture for it is going to create such a sensation that you are bound to see some of the later installments and will always regret that you missed the first part. The show starts at 6:30 p. m. and if you do not care to be in a great crowd, come early. ALLEN CHAPEL NOTES. The services at Allen Chapel last Sunday were of a very high order. An excellent sermon being delivered at the 11 o'clock service by Rev. A. R. R. Fox, student of Wilberforce, and at night by Rev. R. L. King, presiding elder of the A. M. E. Zion Church. Everybody should help our beloved minister to secure his conference claims so that all worry and embarrassment may be removed before the sitting of the Conference. The Choir will don its robes again next Sunday. Sunday, September 27, we will be extremely favored with the presence of Dr. R. C. Ransom of New York, editor of The Review, both morning and evening. He will also lecture Monday night at the church. Admission free. Professor Jackson promises a splendid musical program next Sunday.

COLONEL ALLENSWORTH MEETS TRAGIC DEATH. Lieut-Colonel Allen Allensworth is gone, his life virtually snatched away by the crushing impact of a heavy motorcycle by which he was fatally injured Sunday. The frightful accident that cost this noted life occurred at Monrovia, Cal., about 10 a. m. Sunday morning. He had just stepped from the train and was proceeding to a church at which he was to speak. Using the paved roadbed of Myrtle avenue, a sixty-foot boulevard, for better walking than the mere pathway afforded, he was overtaken and struck down by a motorcycle ridden by two young caucasians. The bruised and bleeding form was rushed to the hospital at Monrovia where death came after two days of unconsciousness. Word reached Los Angeles and relatives hastened to the bedside. Mrs. Allensworth hurrying from Allensworth by fastest train. Announcement of the Colonel's misfortune was made at different churches and the whole community seemed stunned by the news. At the coroner's inquest held Tuesday afternoon at Monrovia, E. S. White, who drove the motorcycle, and W. E. Ray, who rode with him, were closely examined as were other witnesses also. Both men swore that the machine was running only about 12 to 14 miles per hour and that warning was given Col. Allensworth when 150 feet away. They claimed that he looked back, then walked on and that he became excited as they were passing and in dodging to and fro to prevent being struck, ran into the machine, which was not stopped for 150 feet after striking the Colonel. Sharp questioning and direct expressions afterward showed that many believed the motorcycle must have been going at high speed, and that Colonel Allensworth probably had little opportunity to save himself. The coroner's jury returned an open verdict, without fixing any responsibility. Following the inquest, the remains were removed to the parlors of A. J. Roberts & Son of this city. Colonel Allensworth's death is a fearful shock to his devoted family, the widow, Mrs. Allensworth, and two daughters, Mrs. H. B. Skanks, and Mrs. L. Blodgett. Fearing the strain upon them, very simple funeral services will be held at present.—Eagle. Milk Sterilized by Electricity.

SUMMARY OF ADDRESS TO COUNTRY OF NATIONAL INDEPENDENT EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE. Seventh Annual Meeting, New York City, September 7-10, 1914. Let the American people and especially the President, in view of the bloody war of all Europe and the probable grant of freedom to Ireland and suffrage to women, freedom to Poles and Finns and relief from segregation and political disabilities for the Jews, induced by the needs of warring nations, remember that 12,000,000 native citizens in this country are worse proscribed than those of Europe. We appeal to President Wilson to free Colored Americans from Jim-crow cars, disfranchisement, lynching and segregation, especially under the Federal government at the Federal capital now rather than await some awful war here. Southern disfranchisement encourages other forms of lawlessness and renders the Colored citizens helpless in as cowardly fashion as the lynching which its disrespect for law breeds. Jim-crow cars were absurd enough, but residence segregation shows the South knows no limit in proscription if let alone. Segregation of Federal employees is the most alarming symptom. The petition presented against it to President Wilson by a delegation of this league checked it only. We ask President Wilson to entirely remove this nationalizing of caste. We protest against disfranchisement, lynching, segregation, denial of civil and political rights. We want only the rights all others enjoy, even the foreigner. We shall never cease until all citizens have full equal rights in every state. We advocate enforcement of the constitution, making lynching a Federal crime, abolition of legal segregation, Federal aid to educational. This proscription, visited upon no Americans but those of color, is serious and not to be minimized. Colored citizens are warned that they must never resist it by agitation and organization. Organization of Colored persons is the only means to gain rights or retain them if gained. We urge the use of the ballot as the real weapon of self-defense, voting independently for our rights and liberties and not for party. Greetings and appreciations are extended to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Constitution League for aid, and thanks given Congressman T. C. Thacher and A. J. Peters of Massachusetts for securing a hearing against segregation and opposing it. Federal segregation as practiced in the departments and encouraged in various bills should be made an issue as to supporting candidates for Congress, and no doubtful men on these issues should be voted for. Another delegation to see President Wilson on undoing Federal segregation is advised. Next to segregation, the denial of employment of industry is the most inhuman practice of this country. As an attempt to reduce Colored Americans to permanent caste is so powerful, acceptance of non-legal segregation in philanthropic institutions in the North is opposed. EBENEZER A. M. E. CHURCH.

THE VALUE OF PROPER HOME TRAINING. (By Dennis S. Thompson.) Home is the first and most important school of character, and it is there that every individual receives their best moral training, or their worst, for it is there that is imbbed the principles of conduct which endure through manhood and cease only with life. It is a common saying that "manners make the man," and there is a second that "the mind makes the man," but truer than either is a third that "homes make the man." For the home training includes not only manners and mind, but character as well, and it is mainly in the home that the heart is opened, the habits are formed, the intellect is awakened, and character moulded for good or for evil. From this source, be it pure or impure, issue the principles and maximus that govern society. Law itself is but the reflex of homes; the tiniest bits of opinion sown in the minds of children, in private life, afterwards issue forth to the world, and become its public opinion, for nations are gathered out of nurseries, and they who hold the leading strings of children may even exercise a greater power than those who weld the reins of government. The child's character is the nucleus of the man's; after all, education is but superposition; the form of the crystal remains the same. Thus the saying of the poets holds true in a large degree, "The child is the father of the man"; or as Milton puts it, "The childhood shows the man, as morning shows the day." Those impulses to conduct which best the longest and are rooted the deepest, always have their origin near our birth. It is then that the germs of virtues or vices, of feelings or sentiment are first implanted which determine the character of life. Thus homes which are nurseries of children who grow up into men and women, will be good or bad according to the power that governs them. Where the spirit of love and duty pervades the home, where head and heart bear rule wisely there, where the daily life is honest and virtuous, where the government is sensible, kind and loving, then we may expect from such a home an issue of healthy, useful and happy beings, capable as they gain the requisite strength, of following the footsteps of their parents, of walking uprightly, governing themselves wisely, and contributing to the welfare of those about them. On the other hand if surrounded by ignorance, coarseness and selfishness, they unconsciously assume the same character, and grow up to adult years rude, uncultivated and all the more dangerous to society if placed amidst the manifold temptations of what we call civilized life. "Give your child to be educated by a slave," said an ancient Greek, "and instead of one slave you will have two." The poorest dwelling, presided over by a virtuous, thrifty, cheerful and cleanly woman, may thus be the abode of comfort, virtue and happiness; it may be the scene of every ennobling relation in family life; it may be endeared to man by many delightful associations, furnishing a sanctuary for the heart, a refuge from the storms of life, a sweet resting place after labor, a consolation in misfortune, a pride in prosperity, and a joy at all times. The good home is thus the best of schools, not only in youth, but also in age. There young and old best learn cheerfulness, patience, self-control and the spirit of service and of duty. The home is the true school of courtesy, of which woman is always the best instructor. Philanthropy radiates from the home as from a center. To love the little platoon we belong to in society is the germ of all public affections. The wisest and best have not been ashamed to own it to be their greatest joy and happiness to sit behind the heads of children in the inviolate circle of home. The best regulated home is always that in which the discipline is the most perfect, and yet where it is the least felt. Moral discipline acts with the force of a law of Nature. Those subject to it yield themselves to it unconsciously; and though it shapes and forms the whole character, until the life becomes crystallized in habit, the influence thus exercised is for the most part unseen, and almost unfelt. It is a fact very much to be regretted that so many parents, and children as well, do not recognize the value of proper training in the home. We have about come to the place where the church, the school, the home and society have become slaves to the children, instead of the children profiting through the influence wielded by the various branches of religious and educational uplift. In many instances the parent gives the child the proper home training, but they are handicapped because of outside influences that are generally exercised by persons of ill design. One fact, however, stands out in bold relief, which cannot be disputed, and that is we are not placing enough race literature at the disposal of our children. If the child has no knowledge of the higher achievements of the race, and the best efforts that are being put forth by the race, what interest can it have in the better order of things? It is the duty of parents and those having the care of children, to impress upon their minds, the importance of working for higher things; if it is noticed that a child has some good work in it, which study and labor might bring out, teach it the value of self-denial and the application of its energies to the culture of its intellect. It is astonishing how much carefulness, thrift, the reading of proper books and diligent application will help such children onward. Too many parents expect the world outside to do for their children what ought to be done in the home. Kansas City'sLeading Negro Tailor Kansas City'sLeading Negro Tailor Drafts Pointed Letter to Those Desiring First Class Workmanship ONLY EXPERTS EMPLOYED This Institution Should Receive the Support It Richly Deserves. To those who wear clothes:— I desire to announce that we now have on display at our establishment, 1605 East 18th street, as fine a line of Suit Samples as have ever been shown in the city. Every sample shown is either from the famous Detmer or Taylor Mills, which is guarantee superior in fabric. I have lately secured the service of Kansas City's expert cutter whose cutting and fitting ability is unsurpassed in this section. He cut for years for the most exclusive tailoring shop in Kansas City, where the cheapest suits were made at a cost not less than $50. It has been no small effort to secure "such exclusive patterns and a cutter like the one above mentioned, all of which is an advantage to you. The thought has often occurred to me since moving to Kansas City, that the Negro rightfully boasts of his fine schools, able teachers, drug stores, physicians, dentists, and in fact successful men in every phase of life's endeavor; but where do they buy their clothes? I have wondered what each individual thinks of his own efficiency. If he were in business would he want the support of his fellow men? This establishment is not disposed to "knock or run down" any of like nature in Kansas City. Our policy is "All men up." It is a lamentable fact, however, that a press table and iron, with positively no knowledge of tailoring, has been quite sufficient for some entering this much abused field of labor. The Golden Steam Dye Works in its every appointment proves to the contrary. Every workman employed is an expert in his line. You take no chances here, we guarantee every job from the insertion of the smallest patch to the cleaning and making of the most expensive garments. Here you get the largest values for the money we ask you to pay. We are asking that you stop in. Ring our phone; yes, give us a trial that we may demonstrate our superiority in this line.

The next step to be undertaken by the Masonic Hall committee should be to remodel the second story into office suites. Professional men would eagerly seek such desirable locations and the building would thus become a real headquarters for the Colored people. Although the elementary schools report increased enrollment, it is noted that the total for each year is but a small percentage of the number annually enumerated. It is this getaway class of children who are running the streets and recruiting the criminal class. The sun is so large that if it were hollowed out into a shell and the earth placed in the center, there would still be room enough for the moon to revolve around the earth at its present distance. Those who want the earth or any part of it should ad vertise in the Sun. If the government sends a warship to protect the Christians in the City of Constantinople, it should also send one to protect the Christians who are trying to establish a theological school in Kansas City. If it is a shame to kill missionaries in Turkey, it must also be a shame to dynamite them In America. The Masons of St. Louis will tender a reception to John G. Pettiford, who has been a Master Mason for fifty years, and was a charter member of the first lodge ever organized in St. Louis. The Grand Master received an invitation to be present, but owing to previous engagement, will be deprived of the pleasure to be present. The Garrison Field House is rapidly growing in popularity as a social center in spite of its location and the Fifth street car service. It is to be hoped that the frequent visitations of the best class of people from all parts of the city and the high class of entertainments given, may bring about results that will prove lasting to all concerned. The announcement that there are to be several new women's social clubs organized, leads to the opinion that this phase of social work is being considerably overdone. The average club of women appears to be instituted for the mere purpose of entertaining men in lavish manner at intervals during the year, thus reversing the natural order of the obligations of the sexes. Man are growing into the habit of depending upon this sort of attention and few clubs are formed among themselves. If it has come to the point that women must literally "run after men" in order to have the pleasure of their society, then it surely looks bad for the social order of the times. And it looks that way. When Grand Master Morris, called the fifth day's session of the B. M. C. (today) Friday morning all the delegates were present and took part in the opening which was conducted by Rev. Wm. D. Johnson of Georgia. The journal were read and then followed the visit of the Grand Household by a Committee of 45 women. Then came the election and the following officers were duly elected: Grand Master, Edward H. Morris, re-elected: Deputy Grand Master, Julius C. Johnson, Maryland; Grand Treasurer, W. David Brown, New York; Grand Secretary, James F. Needham, Pennsylvania; Grand Directors, A. T. Shirley, Virginia; E. P. Jones, Mississippi; J. H. Johnson, North Carolina; George H. Mays, Florida; I. L. Roberts, Massachusetts; Grand Auditors, T. J. Green, South Carolina; W. H. Mixon, Alabama; J. H. Miller, New Jersey. One of the most hopeful and peaceful signs of continued Friendship, Love and Truth was at the close of the session when, with tears running down their cheeks, Grand Master Morris and Benjamin F. Davis of Atlanta, Georgia, grasped each other's hands, truly the same was beautiful to behold and offered a good example to the large delegation as to the real Friendship, Love and Truth. Washington, D. C., was selected as the meeting place in August, 1916. After a very pleasing session and an excellent report during the past two years the following officers were elected in Grand Household: Mrs. Mary A. Parker, Most Worthy Grand Superior, D. C.; Mrs. Martha J. Wells, Right Worthy Grand Superior, Pa.; Mrs. Jessie L. Page, Grand Treasurer, Superior, Fla.; Mrs. B. E. Detoscan, Grand Worthy Recorder N. Y.; Mrs. Mary E. Washington, Grand Prelate, Ind.; Mrs. Carry Brown, Grand Worthy Usher, Mass. Miss Minnie L. Bradley, Grand Worthy Chamberlain, Conn.; Miss Bessie Malone, Grand Worthy Shepherd Miss.; Miss L. P. Fortune, Chairman Committee on Government, Ga.; Miss H. E. Caroline, Committee on Government, Ark. A NEW FEATURE OF THE LEAGUE ENTERPRISE. We have secured the agency of the Douglas Hand Laundry and we expect to hake ourselves felt in this line of work. There is no good reason why we should not handle 90 percent of the Colored people's laundry. We have appointed our store to accommodate our customers and the new additions (which were necessary) are in harmony with the high standard of neatness and order which is peculiar to the League Enterprise. We could have put in an agency long ago for some white laundry employing white girls and boys, but we refused, preferring to wait for a concern that employs Colored girls and boys. Note—We are first in demonstrating the Negro for the Negro handling more goods, playing a more conspicuous part in real Negro economics than any other place in town. Our display windows are not only the most attractive and interesting on Eighteenth street, but rival in real values the downtown stores; every article displayed is something you need and must have. Today we have on sale at regular prices, supplies for the atool, such as Webster tablets, note books, composition books, pens, pencils and many other useful things. Yes, we have new pictures, beautiful, oh, so beautiful. "A Mother's Love," "Unfortunate Heroes," and "A Busy Day." This last one is quite interesting. It seems to be "sweet," "cute," "beautiful," and everything according to comment overheard in front of our place by onlookers. Come and see this picture. Only 35 cents will secure one for your home. Good bargains or every picture or book in the house. Remember you can call us on the Bell phone, East 1521, or you can call on us at 1521 East Eighteenth street. Our phone number happens to be the same as our street number "O consistency thou are," etc. NOTE—Our supply house does not handle school books, therefore we were embarrassed for advertising such. CHAS, A. STARKS, Prop. HOW TO SECURE GOOD ATTENDANCE AT THE LODGE. These rules must be followed exactly to succeed: 1. Have the lodge room convenient, comfortable, scrupulously clean and attractive. 2. The Master must know the work and lectures perfectly, and perform the work impressively. Slouchy, slipshod work will ruin any business. He must see that his officers know their duties and perform them properly; and conduct the business according to the rules, without talking too much in the chair or letting matters drag. 3. The secretary must be prompt, efficient, affable—permit no one to get behind in dues and make his record and reports in a neat, business way on time. 4. The deacons must welcome and accommodate visiting brethren and members and see that others are also attentive. 5. Members must make an effort to be orderly and social. 6. Once or more a year have a public reception or entertainment, and make it a good one—creditable to the fraternity. 7. Four times a year have light refreshments and devote a half hour to social features, or a smoker. It pays. 8. At lodge meetings have a ten-minute, no longtime, talk or address on Masonic subjects, if there is time, but give the "talker" due notice, telling him to be fully prepared and not to occupy more than ten minutes. If he does, call him down. 9. Occasionally, when there is time, let one who is qualified, read some selection from the Journal or a Masonic book, and if desired have a half hour discussion of it. 10. Never be tiresome, encourage all to participate in the business, etc., and keep the talkee, talkee fellow within bounds. 11. Don't keep late hours or let things drag. Have a live meeting if it does not last more than half an hour. Betty& Sam's Little Corner —That it is going to be an-awful-cold-winter. —That the Negro who does not advertise soon has no business to advertise. —That the president of a certain club can sure eat a plenty. Ask the members. —That it's bad enough to be beaten with clubs and spades in whist, but with the real things. Oh, my— —That if the Negroes expect to maintain a decent Business League, they must bear the expense of maintaining it. —That the Negro who falls to hear Dr. Reverdy Ransom, Sunday, misses hearing the greatest orator in America. Do you get that? —That 100 real linen cards, correct size and style, are given to callers at Franklin's Printing Office, 1008 East Eighteenth street, for 25 cents. —That there are two or three Negro enterprises around here that are pure fakes, and as soon as the Sun can get the right dope, it intends to show them up. —That when the wind was blowing so keenly the other morning a certain dude disconsolately said: "Oh, if I had some of that change I paid for gasoline this summer, I could get me an overcoat," but alas, too late. American Hats In France American Hats In France. Marquis de Castellane, in his Paris letter to the New York American, says: "Once upon a time everything in France came from England; not only our clothes, but also our soiled linen, which was sent across the channel to be washed and then returned to Paris with an immaculate whiteness. In other words, Paris was in the hands of the English and they decided what clothes should be worn and imposed that decision upon Europe. In due course came the silk hat and, willy-nilly, Parisians were obliged to adopt this awful form of headgear. America, by inventing more practical head coverings, has, to a certain extent, liberated the world from these hideous 'stovepipes', which England was pleased to impose upon us, and we are profoundly grateful to the United States for this blessing." Bridge for New Orleans Bridge for New Orleans. It seems that the project of a bridge over the Mississippi near New Orleans, first proposed in 1888, is to be put through. The original design was for a crossing about four or five miles above New Orleans, where no change of bed or banks has occurred in the recorded history of the river. The span of the cantilever bridge was to be 1,070 feet between centers of main piers, the suspended span being 440 feet long and the anchor arms each 660 feet 8 inches in length. The foundations were to extend to 170 feet below water and were to rest on a bed of firm sand. The piers were to be sunk by dredging through open wells or cylinders. The present plan calls for a double bridge, one deck for highway and electric railway travel, and the other for railway service.—Scientific American. Legal View. A Cleveland attorney took the Mediterranean trip a month ago. It was his first time across the water, and he stated on his return that he would have had a perfectly glorious time but for the silly questions asked him by customs officials. It was on the pler at New York that his woes came to a climax. The officer looked up in amazement. "Open your trunk, please," commanded the custom-house officer. "Have you anything in there but personal property?" he continued. "What do you mean by personal property?" countered the lawyer. "For heaven's sake, don't you know what personal property is?" "I thought I did," answered the attorney. "And I can assure you that there is no real estate in my trunk."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Church, State and Poor. A book on "The Church, the State and the Poor" has been written by an English vicar. The book is comprehensive, tracing the subject of preformation days. The author regrets that during the growth of collectivism, under which he classifies what is called "Christian socialism," the church has trusted too much to the state to better the conditions among the poor. Now there is a revival of interest in the welfare of the poor on the part of the church. The writer's contention is that a firm belief in the Christian creed is the only inspiration and guide to any effort to solve "the social problem." MASONIC HOME NOTES. Hannibal, Mo.—We are under many obligation to Brother T. G. McCampbell for an eighty-pound shoat; "Tom" is holding his own. We would like a few more gifts like Brother McCampbell's.—Sister Eliza Golns of Moberly, entered the Home last week.…We wish to thank the ladies of the Grand Court for the improvements of $90 they have made since May.…We thank the "Sun" for quite a few exchanges.…We always are glad to hear of the success of our people.…Rev. Miller and about a dozen members of his congregation came to the Home last Sunday afternoon and spent several hours in praise service. The exercises were enjoyed by the inmates. Who will be the next pastor to visit us?…Mrs. Anna Henly of the Douglass school teaching force, seems always interested in the welfare of the inmates.…Prof. Thomas Reynolds, Kansas City, Kas., and Dr. H. B. McMechew of Hannibal, were pleasant callers at the Home last week ... Mrs. Ida A. Walker of St. Joseph, spent several days recently with the Matron, Mrs. S. W. Dixon. We are expecting a visit soon of "Uncle" Tom Williams of Frankford. He believes the Masonic Home is the grandest thing in the state. The Matron is kept very, very busy, preparing good things for the coming winter. W. H. DIXON. Supt. Y. M. C. A NOTES. Kansas City is to make another record. The new building is to be paid for when entered. A progressive woman's club of the city has offered to donate a portion of the furnishings for the new building. Our out-of-town subscribers have been almost as prompt in their payment as those residing in the city. Wilson Dawson, now of St. Louis, and Wm. McKnight, of Excelor Springs, have sent in checks this week. A large crowd of men greeted S. S. Kay last Sunday, when he made an excellent talk on "Sociability." Next Sunday, September 27, Edward Ross, chairman of the Religious Work Committee, will address the meeting. This probably will be the last talk before the Men's Big Meeting for the fall and winter will start. The Paseo Y. M. C. A. building, the greatest plant of its kind for Colored people west of Chicago, is nearing completion. The contractor will turn it over to the Executive Committee in a few days. It will cost $10,734.00 to furnish this building. Although these figures give an idea of its size, it cannot be fully realized until gone through from the top dormitory floor down through the boys' and swimming department. Y. W. C. A. NOTES. Prominent among our recent out of town visitors were Miss Gracia Corneal of Minneapolis enroute to Springfield, Mo., where eshe is to teach music in the high school. Mrs. E. L. Hendry, a teacher in the Nashville schools; Mrs. A. F. Bryant of Tulsa, Okla.; Miss Susie Ambers of Conway, Ark.; Miss Vera Ward of Denver, Col., a student at Fiske university, and Mrs. Mary D. Loache of Lancaster, O. The Rev. Ernest A. Browne, rector of the Protestant Episcopal church on Kansas side, will be our speaker at the Vesper service at the Y. W. C. A., Fifth and State avenue, Sunday at 3:00 o'clock. Come and bring your friends to hear him. Rev. Browne is an author and an able teacher. Mrs. R. Tobias Smith will conduct the music (singing). Last Sunday at our opening we had a good service. Miss Melvina Lewis rendered a solo. Our women and girls are showing unusual interest in the gymnasium work of the Association. The General Secretary will be glad to register those of the last yelar classes or new pupils daily throughout this month. The classes will be conducted as usual at the Central Y. W. C. A. gymnasium, but all registration fees like the Y. W. C. A. membership, must be paid at this office. Membership—Y. W. C. A., $1 a year; gymnasium fee, $1.50 for gym year. For girls—Y. W. C. A., 50 cents for year; for girls gym fee, 50 cents for gym year. The entire cost for a young woman, $2.50. It costs a girl over twelve years, $1.00 to hold membership in the Y. W. C. A. and in the gymnasium classes. This is a splendid opportunity for our women and girls. No one would dare undervalue either the corrective or developing work of the gym class. The physical director is from Oregon University. Our young folks get for less than half the fee the same instruction as those of the whites and the use of the gymnasium. CENTENNIAL M. E. CHURCH. CENTENNIAL M. E. CHURCH. "Is My Son Absalom saved?" Those who were not at Centennial M. E. Church Sunday evening missed a very notable and impressive sermon by the pastor, Rev. Richard Davis. He gave a complete history of Absalom and applied it to our present surroundings. "Beware of flattery, compliments and advice from disinterested persons. Always place mother, and father's advice above all. Mothers are usually careful in training their girls and should be careful in training their boys. If you provide shelter, clothing and food for your children, give them to understand that they must obey." Milk Sterilized by Electricity Milk sterilized by electricity. Milk sterilized by electricity, the microbes being killed by electric shocks, is being supplied from the Liverpool corporation milk depots to about a thousand babies daily. The advantage said to be gained over sterilization by steam is that the milk tastes the same as when it leaves the cow. It is said that all contamination is removed. Build island of Concrete. An artificial island of reinforced concrete has been built in the Mediterranean at Hyeser strait, near Toulon, the great French naval base, which is to be used solely for testing torpedoes. The island is not a large one, being less than 80 feet long by about 50 feet broad, and is built upon a reinforced concrete caisson which was towed out from Toulon and submerged. It is divided into compartments by walls 4 feet thick, in the largest of which, 10 feet below the sea level, the torpedoes are handled. Projecting from this compartment are three torpedo tubes, while above the surface of the water, 10 feet in the air, are two aerial-torpedo tubes. The operating mechanism, which uses electricity as a motive power, is all contained in the superstructure built over the caisson, and lighting and ventilating systems as well as wireless and searchlights are provided. An electric crane extending out from one side permits the torpedoes to be lifted from the water and returned to their stations after practice—Popular Mechanics. Missionaries Discover Waterfall: Missionaries Discover Waterfall. Father Colbachini of the Salesian order, founded by Don Bosco, which has important mission stations among the Indians of Brazil, reports the discovery of a great waterfall on the Río Mortes, in the Matto Grosso, which he named after Plus X. The Rio das Mortes, which is between 150 and 200 meters wide and more than two meters deep in its higher course, narrows down gradually to about eight meters, and the immense volume of its waters dashes down through a mass of high rocks in a wonderful waterfall more than 500 meters long. Father Colbachini the name of Plus X cut in the rock near the waterfall and erected a large cross made from the branches of two trees on the brink of the water. He then explored the lower course of the river. The surface of the region crossed by Father Colbachini and his party of Bororos is covered by strata of sandstone deeply eroded and indented by water, and the river basin was surrounded by ridges and ranges of hills.—New York Sun. New Paper Fabric The Boston News Bureau says that at the sugar mill of the Nipe Bay company in Cuba more bagasse or refuse is being developed from the cane that is needed for fuel and that the surplus is being made into paper. It says that this paper is of a "splendid grade," selling at high figures and good profit. This possibility has been discussed often and sugar cane is not the only product considered capable of such use. Over in the Philippines one of the difficulties of agriculture is the rapidity with which the cogon grass springs up and occupies the soil. Many experiments have been made with this fibrous substance in the way of papermaking and good prospects have been reported. If it proves available, we shall have a crop, self-sowed, which ripens in a few months, as against the spruce, which if it revives at all, takes 20 years for renewal. The Bottle Tree. The Sterculias is a genus largely represented in Queenland, and widely distributed. To it belongs the bottle tree of the west of Queenland. Blacks eat the seeds of one of the species of the coast, and in the Philippines those of apparently a closely allied species are considered wholesome when roasted or boiled, though eaten in large quantities. The tree belongs to a good family, being related to the Theobroma (food of the gods), which supplies the world with cocoa and chocolate. When the fruit splits open it is a brilliant scarlet with orange-tinted interior; along the parted edges are the seeds, oval and black, covered with a rich purple bloom. The fruit, being tough and leathery, it remains on the tree a long time, forming a most effective display in the gloom of the jungle. Bolling Down a Profession. Boling Down a Profession. A young fellow living in one of Indiana's small towns was graduated from the high school and looked about for some easy, yet lucrative profession. He finally decided to study medicine, and settled down in the office of the town's most popular doctor for a summer's reading. As he read he watched this busy man's hours of work. One day in the late summer the doctor came in out of a draining rain, tired out, and a trifle cross. Glancing at the immaculate young fellow, whose heels were reposing on the office desk, he asked brusquely: "Still think you want to be a doctor?" "Ye-es," came the languid answer, "but I've decided to practise only on fair days, and not go out of nights." Joke on Depew. An episode at 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.

Often before a sufferer realizes what the trouble is, he is on the verge of a complete nervous breakdown. It is of the utmost importance to keep your nervous system in good condition, as the nerves are the source of body power. Mrs. Rosa Bonner, 82s N. 18th St., Birmingham, Ala., says: "I have been suffering with nervous prostration for nine or ten years. Have tried many of the best treatments in Birmingham, but they failed to reach feel as if I was smothering; finally I went into convulsions. My little girl saw Dr. Miles' Nervine advertised in the papers and I at once began to take it. I continued to take it for some time and now I am well." If you are troubled with loss of appetite, poor digestion, weakness, inability to sleep; if you are in a general run down condition and unable to bear your part of the daily grind of life, you need something to strengthen your nerves. You may not realize what is the matter with you, but that is no reason why you should delay treatment. Dr. Miles' Nervine has proven its value in nervous disorders for thirty years, and merits a trial, no matter how many other treatments have been tried. Sold by all dregglegs. If first bottle falls to benefit your money is returned. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhardt, ind. Dancing lessons taught at Armory Hall every Saturday night. We teach all the latest dances.

"Sorry, Mrs. McChesney," said the clerk, and he actually looked it, "but there's absolutely nothing stirring. We're full up. The Benevolent Brotherhood of Bisons is holding its regular annual state convention here. We're putting up cots in the hall." The boy crossed the crowded lobby. There was a little worried, annoyed frown between his eyes. He laid a protecting hand on his mother's arm. Emma McChesney was conscious of a little thrill of pride as she realized that he did not have to look up to meet her gaze. "Look here, mother, they tell me there's some sort of a convention here, and the town's packed. That's what Emma McChesney's keen blue eyes glanced up from their inspection of the little bunch of mall which had just been handed her. "Welk, pick out a hall with a southern exposure and set up a cot or so for me," she said, agreeably, "because I've come to stay. After selling Featherloom petticoats on the road for ten years I don't see myself trailing up and down this town looking for a place to lay my head. I've learned this one large, immovable truth, and that is, that a hotel clerk is a hotel clerk. It makes no difference whether he is stuck back of a marble pillar and hidden by a gold vase full of thirty-six-inch American beauty roses at the Knickelbocker, or setting the late fall fashions for men in Galesburg, Ill." By one small degree was the perfect poise of the peerless personage behind the register jarred. But by only one. He was a hotel night clerk. "It won't do any good to get sore, Mrs. McChesney," he began, suavely. "Now a man would—" "But I'm not a man." Interrupted Emma McChesney. "I'm only doing a man's work and earning a man's salary and demanding to be treated with as much consideration as you'd show a man." The personage busied himself mightly with a pen and a blotter, and sunny papers, as is the manner of personages when annoyed. "I'd like to accommodate you; I'd like to do it." "Cheer up," said Emma McChesney, "you're going to. I don't mind a little discomfort. Though I want to mention in passing that if there are any lady Bisons present you needn't bank on doubling me up with them. I've had one experience of that kind. It was in Albia, Iowa. I'd sleep in the kitchen range before I'd go through another." Up went the erstwhile falling poise. "You're badly mistaken, madam. I'm a member of this order myself, and a finer lot of fellows it has never been my pleasure to know." "Yes, I know," drawled Emma McChesney. "Do you know, the thing that gets me is the inconsistency of it. Along come a lot of boobs who never use a hotel the year around except to loaf in the lobby, and wear out the leather chairs, and use up the matches and tootbicks and get the baseball returns, and immediately you turn away a traveling man who uses a three-dollar-day room, with a sample room downstairs for his stuff, who tips every porter and bell-boy in the place, asks for no favors, and who, if you give him a half-way decent cup of coffee for breakfast, will fall in love with the place and boom it all over the country. Half of your Beenvolent Bisons are here on the European plan, with a view to patronizing the free-lunch counters or being asked to take dinner at the home of some local Bison whose wife has been cooking up on pies, and chicken salad and veal roast for the last week." Emma McChesney leaned over a desk a little, and lowered her voice to the tone of confidence. "Now, I'm not in the habit of making a nulsance of myself like this. I don't get so chaty as a rule, and I know that I could jump over to Monmouth and get first-class accommodations there. But just this once I've a good reason for wanting to make you and myself a little miserable. Ysee, my son is traveling with me this trip." "Son!" echoed the clerk staring. "Thanks. That's what they all do. After a while I'll begin to believe that there must be something hauntingly beautiful and girlish about me or every one wouldn't petrify when I announce that I've a six-foot son attached to my apron strings. He looks twenty-one, but he's seventeen. He thinks the world's rotten because he can't grow one of those fuzzy little mustaches that the men are cultivating to match their hats. He's down at the depot now, straightening out our baggage. Now I want to say this before he gets here. He's been out with me just four days. Those four days have been a revelation, an eye-opener, and a series of rude joils. He used to think that his mother's job consisted of traveling in Pullmans, eating delicate vands turned out by the hotel chefs, and strewing Featherloom petticoats along the path. I gave him plenty of money, and he got into the habit of looking lightly upon anything more trifling than a five-dollar bill. He's changing his mind by great leaps. I'm prepared to spend the night in the coal cellar if you'll just fix him up—not too comfortably. I'll be a great lesson for him. There he is now. Just coming in. Fuzzy coat and hat and English stick. Hist! As they say on the stage." RAINY DAYS ON THE ISTHMUS Inhabitants of Panama Strip Certainly Cannot Reproach Nature With Niggardiness. For nine months of the year it "rains some" on the isthmus of Panama. The precipitation of one month not long ago was 59 inches. This broke even the Panama rainy season record and nothing like it has occurred since, but with something like an av- The boy crossed the crowded lobby. There was a little worried, annoyed frown between his eyes. He laid a protecting hand on his mother's arm. Emma McChesney was conscious of a little thrill of pride as she realized that he did not have to look up to meet her gaze. "Lock here, mother, they tell me there's some sort of a convention here, and the town's packed. That's what all those banners and wore were for. I hope they've got something decent for us here. I came up with a man who said he didn't think there was a hole left to sleep in." "You don't say!" exclaimed Emma McChesney, and turned to the clerk. "This is my son, Jock McChesney—Mr. Sims. Is this true?" "Glad to know you, sir," said Mr. Sims. "Why, yes, I'm afraid we are pretty well filled up, but seeing it's you maybe we can do something for you." He ruminated. tapping his teeth with a penholder, and eying the pair before him with a maddening blankness of gaze. Finally: "I'll do my best, but you can't expect much. I guess I can squeeze another cot into eight-seven for the young man. There's—let's see now—who's in eight-seven? Well, there's two Bisons in the double bed, and one in the single, and Fat Ed Meyers in the cot and—" Emma McChesney stiffened into acute attention. "Meyers?" she interrupted. "Do you mean Ed Meyers of the Strauss Sans-silk Skirt company?" "That's so. You two are in the same line, aren't you? He's a great little piano player, Ed is. Ever hear him play?" "When did he get in?" "Oh, he just came in fifteen minutes ago on the Ashland division. He's in at supper." "Oh," said Emma McChesney. The two letters breathed relief. But relief had no place in the voice, or on the countenance of Jock McChesney. He bristled with belligerence. "This cattle-car style of sleeping don't make a hit. I haven't had a decent night's rest for three nights. I never could sleep on a sleeper. Can't you fix us up better than that?" "Best I can do." "But where's mother going? I see you advertise 'three large and commodious steam-heated sample rooms in connection.' I suppose mother's due to sleep on one of the tables there." "Jock." Emma McChesney reproved him, "Mr. Sims is doing us a great favor. There isn't another hotel in town that would—" "You're right, there isn't," agreed Mr. Sims. "I guess the young man is new to this travelling game. As I said, I'd like to accommodate you, but — Let's see now. Tell you what I'll do. If I can get the housekeeper to go over and sleep in the maid's quarters just for tonight, you can use her room. There you are! Of course, it's over the kitchen, and there may be some little noise early in the morning— Emma McChesney raised a protesting hand. "Don't mention it. Just lead me thither. I'm so tired I could sleep in an excursion special that was switching at Pittsburgh. Jock, me child, we're in luck. That's twice in the same place. The first time was when we were inspired to eat our supper on the dinner instead of waiting until we reached here to take the leftovers from the Bisons' grazing. I hope that housekeeper hasn't a picture of her departed husband dangling, life-size, on the wall at the foot of the bed. But they always have. Good-night, son. Don't let the Bisons bite you. I'll be up at seven." But it was just 6:30 a. m. when Emma McChesney turned the little bend in the stairway that led to the office. The scrub-woman was still in possession. The cigar-counter girl had not yet made her appearance. There was about the place a general air of the night before. All but the night clerk. He was as spruce and trim, and alert and smooth-shaven as only a night clerk can be after a night's vigil. "Morning!" Emma McChesney called to him. She wore blue serge, and a smart fall hat. The late autumn morning was not crisper and sunnier than she. "Good-morning, Mrs. McChesney," returned Mr. Sims, sonorously. "Have a good night's sleep? I hope the kitchen noise didn't wake you." Emma McCheney paused with her hand on the door. "Kitchen? Oh no. I could sleep through a vaudville china-jughang act. But—what an extraordinarily unpleasant-looking man that housekeeper's husband must have been." That November morning boasted all those qualities which November-morning writers are so prone to bestow upon the month. But the words wine, and sparkle, and sting, and glow, and snap do not seem to cover it. Emma McCheney stood on the bottom step, looking up and down Main street and breathing in great draughts of that unadjectivable air. Her complexion erage of twelve feet of rainfall in nine months the isthmus can keep up a showing of dampness without being worried about an ability to live up to soaking records. Gatun lake, the artificial body of water created by Leut. Col. William L. Sibert by the hard process of damming the unruily Chagres river, is now, at-the close of the rainy season, at the high level which the army officer predicted it would reach. The Chagres pouring into the valley made the lake, but the rains made the Chagres. M. H. "Come on out of here and I'll lick the shine off your shoes." stood the test of the merciless, astrangent morning and came up triumphantly and healthily firm and pink and smooth. The town was still asleep. She started to walk briskly down the bare and ugly Main street of the little town. In her big, generous heart, and her keen, alert mind, there were many sensations and myriad thoughts, but varied and diverse as they were they all led back to the boy up there in the staffy, over-crowded hotel room—the boy who was learning his lesson. Half an hour later she reentered the hotel, her cheeks glowing. Jock was not yet down. So she ordered and ate her wise and cautious breakfast of fruit and cereal and toast and coffee, skimming over her morning paper as she ate. At 7:30 she was back in the lobby, newspaper in hand. The Bisons were already astir, She seated herself in a deep chair in a quiet corner, her eyes glancing up over the top of her paper toward the stairway. At eight o'clock Jock McChesney came down. There was nothing of jauntiness about him. His eyelids were red. His face had the dachy look of one whose sleep has been brief and feverish. As he came toward his mother you noticed a stain on his coat, and a sunburst of wrinkles across one leg of his modish brown trousers. "Good-morning, son!" said Emma McChesney. "Was it as bad as that?" Jock McChesney's long fingers curled into a fat. "Say," he began, his tone venomous, "do you know what those—those—" "Say it!" commanded Emma McChesney, "I'm only your mother. If you keep that in your system your breakfast will gurdle in your stomach." Jock McChesney said it. I know no phrase better fitted to describe his tone than that old favorite of the erotic novelties. It was vibrant with passion. It breathed bitterness. It sizzled with savagery. It—Oh, alliteration is useless. "Well," said Emma McChesney, encouragingly, "go on." "Well!" gulped Jock McChenney, and glared; "those two double-bedded, bloomin', blasted Bisons came in at twelve, and the single one about fifteen minutes later. They didn't surprise me. There was a herd of about ninety-three of 'em in the hall, all saying good-night to each other, and planning where they'd meet in the morning, and the time, and place and probable weather conditions. For that matter, there were droves of 'em pounding up and down the halls all night. I never saw such restless cattle. If you'll tell me what makes more noise in the middle of the night than the metal disk of a hotel key banging and clanging up against a door, I'd like to know what it is. My three Bisons were all dolled up with fool ribbons and badges and striped paper canes. When they switched on the light I gave a crack imitation of a tired working man trying to get a little sleep. I breathed regularly and heavily, with an occasional moaning snore. But if those two hippopotamus Bisons had been alone on their native plains they couldn't have cared less. They bellowed, and pawed the earth, and threw their shoes around, and "Come on out of here and I'll yawned, and stretched and discussed their plans for the next day, and reviewed all their doings of that day. Then one of them said something about turning in, and I was so happy I forgot to snore. Just then another key changed at the door, in walked a fat man in a brown derby, and the stuff was off." "That," said Emma McChesney, "would be Ed Meyers of the Strauss Sans-silk Skirt company." "None other than our hero." Jock's tone had an added acidity. "It took those four about two minutes to get acquainted. In three minutes they had told their real names, and it turned out that Meyers belonged to an organization that was a second cousin of the Bisons. In five minutes they had got together a deck and a pile of chips and were shirt-sleeving it around a game of pinchole. I would doze off to the slap of cards and the For the next three months the river will be little more than a trickling rill, but water enough has been stored to keep the lake level as it is until the rains descend and the floods come once more as they have descended and come uninterruptedly ever since the day of Balboa, and since how long before nobody knows. The United States government has built a lock canal across the isthmus of Panama. A sea-level waterway would have been imperative if the skies above the isthmus were not in the habit of weeping click of chips, and wake up when the bell-boy came in with another round, which he did every six minutes. When I got up this morning I found that Fat E Meyers had been sitting on the chair over which I trustingly had draped my trousers. This sunburst of wrinkles is where he mostly sat. This spot on my coat is where a Bison drank his beer." Emma McChesney folded her paper and rose, smiling. "It is sort of trying, I suppose, if you're not used to it." "Used to it!" shouted the outraged Jock. "Used to it! Do you mean to tell me there's nothing unusual about—" "Not a thing. Oh, of course you don't strike a bunch of Bisons every day. But it happens a good many times. The world is full of ancient orders and they're everlastingly getting together and drawing up resolutions and electing officers. Don't you think you'd better go in to breakfast before the Bisons begin to forage? I've had mine." The gloom which had overspread Jock McChenesy's face lifted a little. The hungry boy in him was uppermost. "That's so. I'm going to have some wheat cakes, and steak, and eggs, and coffee, and fruit, and toast, and rolls." "Why sligh, the fish?" inquired his mother. Then, as he turned toward the dining room. "I've two letters to get out. Then I'm going down the street to see a customer. He'll be up at the Sulzberg-Stein department store at nine sharp. There's no use trying to see old Sulzberg before ten, but I'll be there, anyway, and, so will Ed Meyers, or I'm no skirt salesman. I want you to meet me there. It will do you good to watch how the overripe orders just drop, ker-plunk, into my lap." Maybe you know Sulzberg & Stein's big store? No? That's because you've always lived in the city. Old Sulzberg sends his buyers to the New York market twice a year, and they need two floor managers on the main floor now. The money those people spend for red and green decorations at Christmas time, and apple-blossoms and pink crepe paper shades in the spring must be something awful. Young Stein goes to Chicago to have his clothes made, and old Sulzberg likes to keep the traveling men waiting in the little ante-room outside his private office. Jock McChesney finished his huge breakfast, strolled over to Sulzberg & Stein's, and inquired his way to the office, only to find that his mother was not yet there. There were three men in the little waiting-room. One of them was Fat Ed Meyers. His huge bulk overflowed the spindle-legged chair on which he sat. His brown derby was in his hands. His eyes were on the closed door at the other side of the room. So were the eyes of the other two travelers. Jock took a vacant seat next to Fat Ed Meyers so that he might, in his mind's eye, pick out a particularly choice spot upon which his hard young flat might land—if only he had the chance. Breaking up a man's sleep like that, the great big overgrown mutt! "What's your line?" said Ed Meyers, suddenly turning toward Jock. Prompted by some jpm—"Skirts." lick the shine off your shoes." answered Jock. "Ladies' petticoats." "As if men ever wem 'em!" he giggled inwardly.) Ed Meyers shifted around in his chair so that he might better stare at this new foe in the field. His little red mouth was open ludicrously. "Who're you out for?" he demanded next. There was a look of Emma McChesney on Jock's face. "Why—er—the Union Underskirt and Hosiery company of Chicago. New concern." "Must be." ruminated Ed Meyers. "I never heard of 'em, and I know 'em all. You're starting in young, aln' you, kid! Well, it'll never hurt you. You'll learn something new every day. Now me, I—" In breezed Emma McChesney. Her quick glance rested immediately upon Meyers and the boy. And in that moment some instinct prompted Jock McChesney to shake his head, ever so day in and day out for nine-twelfths of the year. Some of the Panamans through the years probably looked upon the drenchings as a curse, but commerce must look upon them as a blessing. Every mile of the way through the canal, except for the comparatively short distances of the ocean approaches, the trading ships of the world will sail through fresh rain water. All water is rain water, but down at Panama, somehow or other, it seems as if a "liquid differentiation" properly might be made. M. Fischer "HIs name," smiled Emma McChesney, "Is Jock McChesney." slightly, and assume a blankness of expression. And Emma McChesney, with that shrewdness which had made her one of the best salesmen on the road, saw, and miraculously understood. "How do, Mrs. McChesney," grinned Fat Ed Meyers, "You see I beat you to it." "So I see," smiled Emma, cheerfully. "I was delayed. Just sold a nice little bill to Watkins down the street." She seated herself across the way, and kept her eyes on that closed door. "Say, kid," Meyers began, in the husky whisper of the fat man, "I'm going to put you wise to something, seeing you're new to this game. See that lady over there?" He nodded discreetly in Emma McChesney's direction. "Pretty, isn't she?" said Jock, appreciatively. "Well—I—she does look familiar but—" "Oh, come now, quit your bluffing. If you'd ever met that dame you'd re "His name," smiled Emma Mc member it. Her name's McChesney—Emma McChesney, and she sells T. A. Buck's Featherloom Petticato. I'll give her her dues; she's the best little salesman on the road. I'll bet that girl could sell a ruffled, accordion-plated underskirt to a fat woman who was trying to reduce. She's got the darnest way with her. And at that she's straight, too." If Ed Meyers had not been gazing so intently into his hat, trying at the same time to look cherubically benign he might have seen a quick and painful scarlet sweep the face of the boy, coupled with a certain tense look of the muscles around the jaw. "Well, now, look here," he went on, still in a whisper. "We're both skirt men, you and me. Everything's fair in this game. Maybe you don't know it, but when there's a bunch of the boys waiting around to see the head of the store like this, and there happens to be a lady traveler in the crowd, why, it's considered kind of a professional courtesy to let the lady have the first look-in. See it? It sno't so often that three people in the same line get together like this. She knows it, and she's sitting on the edge of her chair, waiting to bolt when that door opens, even if she does act like she was hanging on the words of that lady clerk the. Minute it does open a crack she'll jump up and give me a fleeting, grateful smile, and sail in and cop a fat order away from the old man and his skirt buyer. I'm wise. Say, he may be an oyster, but he knows a pretty woman when he sees one. By the time she's with him he'll have enough petticoats on hand to last, him from now until Turkey goes suffrage. Get me?" "I got you!" answered look. "I say, this is business, and good manners be hanged. When a woman breaks into a man's game like this, let her take her chances like a man. Aln't that straight?" "You've said something," agreed Jock. "Now, look here, kid. When that door opens I get up. See? And shoot straight for the old man's office. See? Like a duck. See? Say, I may be fat, kid, but I'm what they call light on my feet, and when I see an order get away from me I can be so fleet that I have Diana looking like old Weston doing a stretch of muddy country road in a coast to coast hike. See? Now you help me out on this and I'll see that you don't suffer for it. I'll stick in a good word for you, believe me. You take the word of an old stager like me and you won't go far—" The door opened. Simultaneously three figures sprang into action. Jock had the seat nearest the door. With marvelous clumsiness he managed to place himself in Ed Meyers' path, then reddened, began an apology, stepped on both of Ed's feet, jabbed his elbow into his stomach and dropped his hat. A second later the door of old Sulzberg's private office closed upon Emma McChesney's smart, erect, confident figure. Now, Ed Meyers' hands were peculiar hands for a fat man. They Labor Company Must Pay. In Klein vs. Phelps Lumber company in the supreme court of Washington (September, 1913, 135 Pac. 226), it was held that where a lumber company which had secured permission to remove a dam on the premises of a duck club notified the caretaker who lived near by at about six o'clock in the evening, that the blast was about to be set off, but later informed him that it had missed fire, it was liable for injuries received by him when the blast was set off later on were tapering, slender, delicate, blue-veined, temperamental hands. At this moment, despite his purpling face, and his staring eyes, they were the most noticeable thing about him. His fingers clawed the empty air, quivering, vibrant, as though poised to clutch at Jock's throat. Then words came. They spluttered from his lips. They popped like corn kernels in the heat of his wrath; they tripped over each other; they exploded. "You darned kid, you!" he began, with fascinating fluency. "You thousand-legged, double-joined, oxfooted truck horse. Come on out of here and I'll lick the shine off your shoes, qu蓝眼-eyed babe, you! What did you get up for, huh? What did you think this was going to be—a flag drill?" With a whoop of pure Joy Jock McChosen turned and fled. They dined together at one o'clock, Emma McChesney and her son Jock Suddenly Jock stopped eating. His eyes were on the door. "There's that fathead now," he said. Chesney, "Is Jock McChesney." excitedly. "The nerve of him! He's coming over here." Ed Meyers was waddling toward them with the quick light step of the fat man. His pink, full-jowled face was glowing. His eyes were 'bright as a boy's. He stopped at their stable and paused for one dramatic moment. "So, me beauty, you two were in cahoots, huh? That's the second low-down deal you've handed me. I haven't forgotten that trick you turned with Nussbaum at DeKalb. Never mind, little girl. I'll get back at you yet." He nodded a contemptuous head in Jock's direction. "Carrying a packer?" Emma McChesney wiped her fingers daintily on her napkin, crushed it on the table, and leaned back in her chair. "Men," she observed, w'eringly, "are the cussedest creatures. This chap occupied the same room with you last night and you don't even know his name. Funny! If two strange women had found themselves occupying the same room for a night they wouldn't have got to the kimoon and back hair stage before they would not only have known each other's name, but they'd have tried on each other's hair, swapped corset cover patterns, found mutual friends living in Dayton, O., taught each other a new Irish crochet stitch, showed their family photographs, told how their married sister's little girl nearly died with swollen glands, and divided off the mirror into two sections to paste their newly washed handkerchiefs on. Don't tell me men have a genius for friendship." "Well, who is he?" insisted Ed Meyers. "He told me everything but his name this morning. I wish I had throttled him with a bunch of Bisona' badges last night." "His name," smiled Emma McChenney, "is Jock McChenney. He's my one and only son, and he's put through his first little business deal this morning just to show his mother that he can be a help to his folks if he wants to. Now, Ed Meyers, if you're going to have apoplexy don't you go and have it around this table. My boy is only on his second piece of pie, and I won't have his appetite spoiled." Driven to It. "Do you want work?" "Yep," replied Plodding Pete. "If you'll gimme somethin' light an' easy, I'll engage. I believe I kin get more rest as a regular hand than to on go in' waylaid an' pestered by people that's tryin' to hire me." Her Advantage. "A ship has one paradoxical advantage in a storm." "What's that?" "No matter how she may lose her grip she generally manages to keep her hold." Almost Synonymous. Mrs. Malaprop—I gave Jim some of that compulsion of cod liver oil today.

HOMETOWN HELPS AVOID ALL WASTE OF GROUND Italian Gardeners Utilize Space Which Americans Would Consider of Little Account. Just outside the railway station at Springfield, Mass., is a row of tenement houses occupied by Italian families. Between them and the tracks is a garden, divided into long, narrow strips, each strip being tiled by one of the families. In the early morning and evening laborers from the factories may be seen busily at work in these small patches, some of which are not more than ten feet wide. In the daytime the women and children are busy in them. These Italians raise enough vegetables for their own tables and have a supply left for sale. It is intensive gardening. Not an inch of ground is wasted. Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts have thousands of such patches and thousands of abandoned farms have been taken up and made highly profitable by these expert gardeners from Italy. They do it by wasting nothing. The refuse from their homes is returned to the earth, as nature intended that it should be. Chickens and pigs are made to fertilize unbroken ground, and the pigs root up underbrush and loosen stones. The simplest of implements are used, but the Italian gardeners know that constant attention is the secret of success. Never a weed is allowed to spring up; the soil is not allowed to go without hoeing and raking. The fence is a support for tomato, bean, pea and other climbing plants. On an area smaller than that of the ordinary city backyard an Italian will grow vegetables enough to supply his table the year around. TREE PLANTING AS A DUTY Effective Way in Which Each Citizen May Take Part in Bettering the Community. The man with a vision plants a fruit tree, and there is pictured upon the canvas of his mind the full grown, developed tree, laden with the fruit of its kind, painted and flavored with the richest colors and most delicious extracts, but he knows that before that picture can become a reality his hand must give that tree a fertile soil, the best cultivation, a scientific trimming and spraying for years. But nature thus assisted, does her part, and the tree, as the years go by, develops and in time produces its perfect fruit and rewards the labor of the tender. But the tender took the greatest delight in his work, knowing that the time would come when his labor would bear its reward. His work was a work worth while, and the community in which he lived was made better for his work, for he who does nothing more than plant a tree by the wayside and tends it to maturity has done more for mankind than he who sits and dreams and talks great things of accomplishment, but does not a thing to bring them about; or even he who ever works at his task with stold indifference to its great importance or unmindful of its pleasures.—From "The Business of Farming," by W.

Last year window boxes and hanging gardens were introduced in the shopping thoroughfares, and there were more than 15,000 feet beautified in that way. This year, by private subscriptions, a fund has been raised to put 500 miniature gardens on them as many lamp-posts and to keep them bright with blooms. "Flowers on lamp-posts would astound New Yorkers," says the New York Evening Mall, "and would certainly set the kids to climbing. How long would the lamp-post gardens last on the east side?" Why City Planning Pays It promotes trade by supplying direct and easy ways for the extension and development of commerce; fosters city growth by making it easier and cheaper to conduct all classes of business, increases and insures all property values by preventing the many evils of haphazard building; makes every citizen a more efficient worker by saving time and money in transit of goods and people; and, above all, it assures to that city which adopts it, a future citizenship sound in body, mind and morals. Prizea for Bibliophiles A first edition of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," by Lewis Carroll (C. L. Dodgegyn), fetched $1,000 at Sotheby's in London. It was bought by Mr. G. D.

MOULTON A FISH FROM THE INDIAN OCEAN, WHICH BEARS AT THE TIP OF THE SHOOT AN UMBOUTS OCEAN OME remarkable models of fishes that inhabit the great depths of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans have just been put on exhibition at the American Museum of Natural History. Only two sets of these models have been made, one for the British museum in London and one for New York. They are considered the most noteworthy contributions yet made to popular knowledge concerning the appearance, complicated structure and habits of the curious creatures that dwell from one to five miles below the surface of the ocean, in regions never penetrated by sunlight.

The habitat of these extraordinary looking creatures is the deep sea floor, a vast region of everlasting darkness and eternal silence. At an average depth of two miles the sea floor forms an abyssal plain, 90,500,000 square miles in extent, or nearly half the surface of the earth. The fishes of which models are shown were captured and brought up to the surface from enormous depths in recent deep sea explorations; as soon as they reached the vessel's deck wax casts were made of them. CANNIBAL FISH FROM A DEPTH OF 5 MILES IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN Notable researches of this kind have been made by the Albatross, controlled by the United States bureau of fisheries. Dr. Charles H. Townsend, now director of the York aquarium, commanded this vessel for a number of years on its voyages and made many interesting dis coveries of the life of the deep. The ship, Challenger also made a note around the world for the purpose of investigations. Its trip yielded larger than any other single cruise, but the Alkma made a far greater number of expeditions. Among the foremost living deep sea are Sir John Murray of England, the chorey on this subject, and the Prince who is one of the most active student trons of oceanography of today. He the steamer Princess Alice well equipped specially designed for deep sea exploits also has established an oceanographer at Monaco to exhibit deep sea inhaleable. Fishing at depths of from one to five bring up to the surface specimens of habitats of the deep sea floor is acid by means of a large trawl net about a wide and twenty-five feet long.

Fishing at depths of from one to five miles, to bring up to the surface specimens of hidden inhabitants of the deep sea floor is accomplished by means of a large trawl net about fifteen feet wide and twenty-five feet long.

It is difficult to realize the immense pressure of such deeps; at a depth of 15,000 feet the pressure per square inch is two and a half tons, whereas on land the pressure is under fifteen pounds per square inch. The tremendous pressure of the water keeps the creatures developed in it from extending their range upward or downward. A deep sea fish rising above its depths is killed by the reduction of the outside pressure. Its tissues swell, its blood vessels burst, its eyes are forced out. On the other hand, a fish sinking below the range to which it is accustomed is soon crushed or suffocated by the unaccustomed pressure. Some- TERRIBLE COST OF ILLITERACY The annual cost of adult illiteracy to the United States is enough to build a new Panama canal every year, besides constituting a menace to representative government. The difference in productive power between those who can read, and write and those who are illiterate is $100 a year, and since the census of 1910 showed that there were over 5,000,000 illiterates in the United States, the economic loss easily reaches the stupendous amount of $500,000,000, says Leslie's. Speaking at the Industrial league conference on adult illiteracy, P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education, brought out the fact that, while during the last 20 years illiteracy in the southeastern group of the southern states has been decreased by 600,000, in the same period the number of illiterates in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut has increased by more than half that amount, a large proportion of the number being foreigners.

After Queen Wilhelmina's marriage Queen Emma withdrew to quite a modest residence at The Hague, where it is said she spends a third of her civil list allowance in charity. Queen Emma strongly instilled into her daughter the quality of courage. On one occasion the horses of the royal carriage ran away, and were only stopped at the gates of the palace by a superhuman effort on the part of the coachman. The queen-mother held her trembling daughter in her arms, ```markdown ``` times the deep sea fish, in a struggle with its prey, is carried above or below its depths, in which case both are destroyed. When fish from the greatest depths reach the top they are always dead, having been killed by the change in pressure in the early stage of their upward journey. Many of the creatures from the depths are cartilaginous and do not have a bony structure. Nearly all the fishes have formidable teeth and are extremely voracious, with mouths of enormous capacity; in fact, some have stomachs of such expansion that they can perform the astonishing gastronomic feat of swallowing animals larger than themselves. Probably the most interesting and astonishing of the deep sea dwellers are the luminous fishes, marvelously equipped with organs for projecting light. These light organs are a means of illuminating the dark abyssal regions which they inhabit and of enabling them to avoid foes, recognize their own kind and capture prey. Many of these fishes display curious eyelike organs down the sides of the body, forming as it were a series of miniature bulls-eye lanterns. Again, others possess light emitting organs behind the eyes or on the head and shoulders. Provided with lanterns or luminous spots, these fishes find their way in the great depths and plow through the dark waters like flaming torches. Some of the deep sea fishes are provided with a rod which is hinged so that its tip can be swung immediately over its back or in front of the voracious mouth. At the end of this rod is a luminous lure. This decoy attracts other sea inhabitants, which are quickly engulfed as they approach this shining point. Thus the fishing rod is employed by the fishes of the deep. The lamp is also used by the fish itself in pursuit of prey, throwing out a beam of light like a searchlight as it darts to and fro in the inky waters. Many of the fishes are totally blind; these fall easy victims to the hunter after being detected by the bright rays of the lure. It has been found that at a depth of 3,000 feet OF ILLITERACY Men and women forty and fifty years old have been taught to read and write in a series of ten lessons. The problem is to secure co-operation of industrial managers and boards of education in providing free instruction during working hours. The Standard Oil and General Chemical companies, with large plants at Bayonne, N. J., have arranged with the local board of education for instruction to be given to a thousand of their illiterate employees. George B. Gifford, general manager of the Standard Oil company, thinks that a vocabulary of about 600 words would be sufficient to enable the average workman to understand directions and to answer ordinary questions. Having that to begin with, the ambitious man could rapidly acquire more. The increased economic efficiency both to the workman and his employer, amounting, it is estimated, to $500,000 a year, is scarcely second to the benefit the civic life of the country would receive.

"The queen and I are going back over the same ground. A sovereign cannot be afraid." On another occasion the two queens were driven through a mob of strikers whose demeanor was alarming. Seeing that the child-queen was uneasy, Queen Emma stopped the carriage and led her daughter among the men, who drew back in confusion. She spoke to the men herself and, seeing that they the sun's rays cease to penetrate the ocean. The eyes of the deep sea inhabitants have undergone some curious modifications. In the majority of cases it is found that the eyes are either very large or very small. A large proportion of the denizens of the deep possess either no eyes or eyes reduced to mere vestiges. The very large eye seems to represent an effort to make the most of what little light there is. The deepest sounding so far reached on the ocean floor is in the North Pacific, near the island of Guam, 5,269 fathoms, or 31,614 feet, or about 66 feet less than six miles. This enormous depth is 2,612 feet greater than the highest land elevation above the sea, that of Mount Everest in the Himalaya mountains being 29,000 feet. These great deeps, as they are termed, vary in form and size. The Nares Deep, lying wholly in the Atlantic ocean, north of the West Indies, is the largest. The floor of this deep sinks to 4,000 fathoms and is estimated to cover an area of 700,000 square miles. The animal life on the ocean floor is enormous. Not all of the species have as yet been described. CAPTIVE BALLOON AT WORK Balloons are being put to some practical purpose in Germany, where, at Salzburg, they are employed as a sort of locomotive for hauling a car up a mountainside, London Tit-Bits says. The inventor's idea is merely an adaptation of the captive balloon principle, so arranged that long, but regular flights are possible. The balloon is attached to a steel rail laid on the mountainside, and upon this it makes its journeys. It spans great chasms without the necessity of bridging and by running the rail over any projecting points there is, of course, no need of any tunneling. Fastened to the rail is a heavy steel slide, which holds the balloon captive. From the slide to the balloon runs a steel cable, which permits the balloon to soar about twenty-five feet above the rail, but holds it firmly in place. Suspended from the balloon is a circular car capable of holding ten passengers, which can be equipped with heating devices. In going up the mountain the balloon is lifted of course by the hydrogen gas it contains. No matter how desperately the captive may tug at its steel cable, it cannot get away, but must ascend directly over the guiding steel rail. Reaching the top of the mountain the balloon is simply anchored until the time arrives for beginning the descent. This is another problem easy of solution. A tank under the car is filled with water and the entire affair is dragged downhill by weight and gravity.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS --- Building operations in connection with the construction of a Masonic temple at Washington for the colored Masonic Temple association, at an approximate cost of $125,000, will be begun as soon as the contract has been awarded. The plans and specifications for the edifice, which is to be of the Italian renaissance style, are being completed by Claughton West, architect, of Washington. The building, which will be an architectural and artistic ornament to the part of the city where it will be located, will be five stories high with basement. It will be fireproof throughout, steel construction being employed with reinforced concrete floors and slag roof. The structure will measure 93 feet on U street and 134 on Tenth street, and the main entrance will be on U street. Brown tapestry brick, with Indiana limestone and granite trim, will be used in its exterior construction, and the roof will be bordered with highly ornamental galvanized iron cornices. Wrought iron grills will be used in guarding many of the windows. Both facades of the building will be treated with a central pavilion feature. The front on the U street side is to be divided into three bays, separated by Italian pilasters surmounted by ornamental capitals of Indiana limestone and embracing three stories. There will be seven bays on Tenth street, all of which will be surmounted by a tablature with a medallion. The fifth story is to be treated in the form of an attic with openings in windows and wrought iron grills. There will be a roof garden laid in red tile. The rooming facilities of the structure are as follows: The basement will contain a large drill hall, office rooms, toilet rooms and heating apparatus. On the first or ground floor will be located a banquet hall, measuring 50 by 75-feet, with kitchen and serving room adjoining. There will be two stores on the U street side and five stores on the Tenth street side. A wide stair way leads from the main entrance on U street to the upper floors. An auditorium with a seating capacity of 1,200 clear-spanned and with no column support, will be the feature of the second floor. The auditorium is to be about 90 by 100 feet in dimensions, and around it will be office rooms and in the rear a promenade separated from the auditorium by a panel partition with brass railing. The auditorium is to have high arched windows, guarded by wrought iron grills. The third floor will be the balcony floor and will also have offices. The fourth floor will contain lodge and anterooms and three smaller halls and on the fifth floor will be located lodge rooms and a spacious banque hall. The corridors will be of marble, bordered in mosaic design. The British colonies have enacted laws holding masters of vessels responsible for passengers landed in the colonies, excepting those passengers under contract to engage in service either for the government or for some business firm or company considered financially responsible by the government, or those convincing the government authorities that they have sufficient money within their possession to pay their return passage from the colony. The Kamerun government requires each person not a native of Africa and not engaged by the govern- A pertinent suggestion for the church life has reference to the financial support of the church. Most negro churches are constantly overtaxed. The collection table is used more frequently than any other instrument in the church. The people are generous, but the desire is stronger than the ability. Often the largest influence of the church and especially of the minister, is broken on the rock of constant and necessary exhortation to give money for the support of the church. I am told that the minister shoulders the responsibility of getting the money practically alone. This is un-Baptistic. I am told that the trustees are a body who spend the money thus secured. This is un-Baptistic and unfair. They are at present merely the channels through which the church expends. They ought to be co-operating agents in securing church support. Practical experience has taught us that the greatest results come from the widest distribution of responsibility for securing adequate support for the current expenses of the church as well as for its benevo. Ties made of a species of native hardwood have been used on the Panama railroad without renewal for more than 50 years. Brass farthings were authorized by English law in the year 1613. They were suppressed as worthless about 40 years later. Field experiments in Ireland have shown that liquid manure produces better crops of hay than any other fertilizers. Harpooned Big Cock To harpoon a shark in the Delaware bay with a weapon hastily constructed from a section of a bamboo fishing rod and a clasp knife was the experience of William Maag, clerk in the Dover (Del.) post office. He and his companions were fishing in a rowboat when they noticed that the baited hooks and sinkers of their lines had been snapped off. Maag said that a shark was near by, and he began to shape the crude harpoon. A few minutes later the shark appeared ment or by responsible business people in the colony upon entering the colony to have in his possession 2,000 marks ($476), and the Woermann and other steamship companies require such passengers to deposit 500 marks ($119) each against return passage to port of embarkation. While I am not certain, I think the rule holds true for French West African possessions. Thus it will be seen that Liberia is the only place American negroes can well attempt to colonize. The impression gained by conversations with various government officials of the different colonies is that the American negro is not desired. This consulate is informed that "Chief Sam" of the Gold Coast, with the assistance of some American negroes, claims to be at the head of a scheme to colonize the Gold Coast colony, or some part of the colony. My advice is to select some well-informed person to make a thorough investigation, visiting the particular section in which they intend settling, before they pay any part of their passage to West Africa. It is quite evident that some of these schemes are in every sense fraudulent. Those who have come to West Africa ca suffer untold misery, are for the most part illiterate farmers who have through a long struggle, managed to save enough to pay passage for themselves and family, with barely enough to live on through their first certain attack of African malaria. Many have expressed the choice of prison life in America to freedom here. In addition to the above, now aid then a misguided independent missionary comes suffers and dies—Consul W. T. Yer by Sierra Leone in Daily Consular Reports. The Frenchwoman who complained that it was difficult to grow old gracefully had evidently not begun early enough. "The child is father of the man," and hence of the patriarch, and whoever would easily grow old gracefully must take care and regulate wisely the earlier stages. A little artificial tinkering later on will never compensate for radical defects permitted to persist through a lifetime. In one of his letters Huxley remarks: "Somebody started a charming theory years ago—that as you get older and lose volition, primitive evil tendencies, heretofore mastered, come out and show themselves." Huxley treated this theory too lightly; there is more truth in it than he seemed aware of. Botanists tell of defects existing in plants as "sleeping eyes," diseases remaining in a lethargic state for several years, and then, with favorable conditions, revealing themselves; while physiologists similarly allow that more old growths in the human body may remain lethargic for years and then become disastrously active. There can be no doubt but that it is much the same with the moral life. During the years when criticism and circumstance hold us to good behavior, and in which the will is most masterful, tendencies to temper, avarice and self ishness are checked and disguised, while they become painfully obtrusive when the volitional power declines and the consideration paid to old age gives them unrestrained play.—Ex change. The man who would reach success hasn't much time to sit under shade trees by the wayside. lences. Increasing responsibility in securing financial support should be placed upon the trustees and strongest members of the church. Another suggestion is also along the same line. There is a tremendous need of trained leadership in the fields of evangelism, education and church management. Some pastors have expressed their great desire to secure such training for the members of their church. They have expressed their appreciation of the help given by the Home Mission society in their former fields in the South, where the actual direct assistance given them in training their workers in specialized fields seems much larger than in this apparently more favored section. —Standard.

The shark leaped from the water and then headed for the boat. Maag's companions rowed desperately and pulled out of danger. Then began a struggle that continued for a quarter of an hour. The shark finally died from loss of blood. The men's capture weighed 250 pounds and measured seven feet. Limit of Hopefulness. And some people count their chickens before the eggs are laid. (By E. O.

GOLDEN TEXT-I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown. Rev. 3:11. The lessons of the first quarter of this year's cycle chiefly present Jesus as the great teacher. Those of the second quarter principally concern the aspect of his saviorhood, whereas during this present quarter we see him mainly as the great judge. These lessons have dealt with matters which occurred during the last months, we may almost say the last weeks, of his life. During the "year of opposition" he is met with the most determined hostility and persecution. Nevertheless he proceeds against it all with calm assurance, in strict justice and without a shadow of faltering. This reading lesson contains the most celebrated and familiar verse in the bible. In it we see: A mighty God—"For God" A mighty motive—"So loved" A mighty sacrifice "-So gave His only be- gotten Son" A mighty escape—"Not perish" A mighty gift—"Eternal life." We here see Jesus set forth in grace and while it does not declare that he came to judge, yet, in the passage are set forth those principles upon which he is constantly the judge, and whereby he will eventually act in the last and final judgment. God's Right. In the first lesson, that of the laborers, Jesus taught his disciples the sovereignty of God. God has a right to do as seemeth best to himself. In this parable we see the true motive in service, viz., idolity and not for hope of reward. Jesus thus prepared the way for his denunciation and judgment, of the rulers. Lesson two, which deals with the self-seeking disciples and the self-sacrificing Savior, is intended to teach that there is but one path to true and lasting greatness, and that is the path of sacrifice and service. In it the discipline has presented the question of association with himself in power, and the method and value of service. The story of Bartimaeus, lesson three, is a beautiful and touching exhibition of his activity of mercy even in the midst of the approaching judgment. In the fourth lesson is presented the parable of the pounds and the talents. Both are spoken to the disciples and both deal with their responsibilities to himself in the coming days. Our eternal reward depends upon our acts and attitudes in the life that now is. We are rewarded not according to what the Lord has bestowed upon us but rather as we use that which is bestowed upon us. These parables preeminently deal with our responsibilities to himself in the days to come. Thus far the lessons were spoken as he approached the city. The hour was approaching, therein, in which he would declare the verdict and pass sentence upon the chosen people. Lesson five presents Jesus as the Messiah prophesied of in the Old Testament. It deals with the story of his coming into Jerusalem. Entering thus in such a manner demands our attention for it foreshadows the time of his judicial activity with reference to the people and the nation. The next five lessons may be said to deal with this ministry of judgment. In lesson six we see some of the preparatory signs and teaching. The blasting of the fig tree and his cleansing of the house of God are both symbolical. Lesson seven teaches us that if we fall to be faithful in the kingdom which has been entrusted to us it will certainly be taken from us. Jesus compels the rules to define their own failure and to pass sentence upon that failure. He then most solemnly warns them that in the economy of God, his people Israel had been set aside from service. Lesson eight presents the parable of the marriage feast in which Jesus unfolds the plan of God's invitation and its human rejection in three stages. God's Kinship. The ninth lesson is a political inquiry which our Lord answered by setting forth all of the important state relationships according to the fundamental fact of the kingship of God, "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that be God's." No other answer of his better reveals the infinite wisdom, skill and tact of our Lord. Man's supreme duty towards God is the chief content of lesson ten. The last of these lessons are in the realm of controversy in which we hear him as he deals with the fundamental question of law and sets over against it the master principle of love. Man is to put God first in everything. From the Olivet prophecy we get the last two lessons. In lesson eleven, the parable of the virgins, we are taught that the Lord Jesus is coming again and we must watch and be ready against that imminent event. This lesson also suggests the responsibilities of his people during his absence. The twelfth lesson is a prediction of the judgment of the nations and reveals the way by which he is to begin the administration which will ensue when that kingdom is established. There is a kingdom prepared from the foundation of the world for the righteous and a punishment prepared for the devil and those who willfully choose to do his will. Those who cast their lot with his must go with him to spend eternity. They themselves sit in judgment upon themselves, judge themselves not worrying BARBERS: T. E. Grear, Prop. F. J. Walker.

I want you to please send by mail 3 bottles of shampoo, 3 boxes of hair grower and 2 boxes of pressing oil. I like the remedy just fine; I would not be without it for anything. I am using it on my little girl's hair; it seems to be helping it greatly. MRS. ANNA BRUNER. Kansas City, Mo. Jan. 20, 1913. Dear Madam 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 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.
