The band gave concerts during the season at the public park, and on the night of the closing concert the citizens of Douglas presented Mr. Hammond a beautiful diamond studded medal as a token of their appreciation of the pleasure the concerts had given them. We found Mr. Hammond a man with advanced ideas an da worker as well as a student. He is a delightful conversationalist and is doing his share toward the solution of a vexious problem. He has certainly raised the respect of army bands and has won the respect of his superior officers and of the people of Douglas. It will doubtless be of some interest to the many readers of the Sun to know that the son of one of Kansas City's leading educators is the leading violinist in the orchestra of this band, and that Leon Herriford is making good as a musician. It was very pleasing to me personally to find Leon popular with his associates and a general favorite about the camp. Many of the old men of the famous Ninth cavalry are refusing to relist because of the fact that prejudice is so acute as to make life unpleasant.

R. Gen. yours While we were in Douglass hostilities broke out at Naco, about twenty-nine miles up the line. Our friend George W. K. Love was always regaling us with stories of his prowess as a member of the Twenty-third Kansas, which saw service in Cuba. When he heard the mutterings of the cannon up at Naco his impatience to get into the fray was pathetic. Our work being done, the time arrived for us to resume our pilgrimage, and as good fortune would have it, the line which we took out of Douglas went right by Naco. Our friends came down to the station to bid us adieu and we were away. When we reached Naco the train stopped to unload 250,000 rounds of ammunition for the Hill forces, which were holding the town against the forces of Mytorena. The platform of the station was crowded with troopers who had been concentrated at this point to protect American interests, and the martial air of the surroundings was more than the soldierly soul of George W K Love could stand and followed by the Grand Master he hastened to join the soldiers. He had been there only a few minutes when the machine gun in the Mytorena camp on the hillside began to pop and the balls began to strike the station. Mr. Baker and I were sitting in the car and we heard a terrible commotion on the outside, and before we were able to ascertain the cause George W. K. Love, the soldier, statesman and patriot, came tearing into the car and crawled under a seat. He was ghostlink in his appearance and with chattering teeth he told us, when we tried to reassure him, that he was a follower of the doctrine, "Safety First." The Grand Master, in his masterly retreat, set at naught the well established law of physics, that large bodies move slowly, and explained his haste by telling us that it was his duty as Grand Master to look after the craft, and he came in to see that Baker and I were out of harm's way. It was at Naco that Trooper Wilson was shot while on guard duty, and he was placed upon our train and carried to the hospital uchauha, Ariz. He was in charge of sergeant Major Edward W. Spearman. Sergeant Spearman is a bright young man whose home was formerly in New York and he proves our statement that he is bright in that he came to Missouri to select his wife, having married a Miss Fannie J. Jones of independence. We read with some regret, on that Trooper Wilson died of the wound inflicted. When we read of this death we could not help reflecting on the injustice of the treatment of the American Negro of account of a senseless caste prejudice. We saw our men patrolling this frontier, exposed to all kinds of weather, and other dangers incident to war, that the white people might rest secure in the enjoyment of life, liberty and property, and at the same time the children of these very men were being denied equal educational advantages and their wives and daughters were being denied the courtesies which are accorded American womanhood. They are subjected to the damnable jim-crow cars, separate waiting rooms and other humiliating influ- --- The Kansas City Sun ences incident to travel in that section of the country, while the peons of Mexico, hostile to the genius of our government, dirty, ignorant and uncoath, are permitted every privilege granted American citizens. Such things are enough to embitter the souls of the most loyal and most patriotic Afro-American. We arrived at Tucson an hour late and after transferring from the R. S. W. to the S. P. depot, we realized that: "The falcon preys upon the finch, the finch upon the fly, And naught will loose the hunger pinch but death's wild cry. so we went in search of something to eat. We found a restaurant owned by a colored man and here we secured a fairly good meal. From here we started out to take a look at the city. This is a very old city, dating back one hundred and fifty years. Here as elsewhere in Arizona, we found Mexicans doing a greater part of the work given to common laborers. The parks are beautiful and splendidly kept, which shows a good bit of civic pride. We found here quite a colony of Negroes and among them we found lodges and churches. We met in the person of Ill. Robt. M. Lawson, Sov. Inspector Gen. of the Valley of Arizona, a fine young man who seems full of pluck and energy, and who seems to be making good in this city. There seems to be no business enterprise among our people here, and that is easily understood when one stops to consider that there is little opportunity for K. M. Baput Who is bringing a military training and discipline to Western University such as she has never known before. them to work and earn wages. Here the color of the skin or the texture of the hair is no sure indication of race or nationality, for we find Mexicans of all shades of complexion. While Mr. Baker, Love and I went over to the home of Mr. Lawson, the Grand Master went out to look after the commissary department. He found the cost of high living and the high cost of living had drawn themselves very closely together here. Bolied ham was quoted at fifty-five cents the pound, and other things in proportion. We did not have the heart to ask him what he paid for the pie. After an all-night ride we arrived in Los Angeles about 8 o'clock the next morning, and went to the Golden West Hotel and secured rooms. Here we told our friend Baker goodbye, for, on account of his limited leave of absence from his position as an employee of the government, he found himself under the necessity of hurrying home. A good bath, shave and breakfast made us feel like Christians again, and we started out to see Los Angeles. Los Angeles is a remarkable city and the livest wire on the American continent today, and since we are going to have quite a bit to say about this young giant of the Pacific coast, perhaps a bit of its history will not be out of place. August 2, 1769, accompanied by a small force, and by Father Junipero Serra, a Franciscan, the Spanish governor, Portola, arrived at what is now the cite of Los Angeles. In 1781 the city was founded and the settlement was given the name of Pueblo. In 1790 it had a population of 139. One hundred and ten years later KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1914. the county's population jumped from 170,293 in 1900, to 504,161 in 1910, while the city alone showed a population of 320,000. Los Angeles is at once the oldest, as well as the youngest city of importance of the western world. It was a hundred years reaching a population of 10,000. In 1880 the city was without a sewer system, a paved street or a street railway line. In 1890 the flood of eastern immigration had set in. Wide awake business men from the east and the middle west had discovered the fascinating charms and the unlimited possibilities of Los Angeles and the population increased by leaps and bounds. Skyscraper after skyscraper has reared its head into the soft sunshine and balmy air of this fairy land. The spirit of push places a million of people in sight. We have never seen such bustle and push. We have been able to go about the cities of New York, Chicago or Boston without assistance, but we were helpless and had to depend upon the traffic officer to help us across the streets. Los Angeles has almost every imaginable natural and it is already great and destined, and it is the years roll on to become America's greatest city. We had great difficulty in getting the thing fully fixed in our minds. We went to the beach—one of them—Venice, and if the paper for which our story is being written did not pride itself upon the fact that it is a clean up-to-date family weekly and strictly interdicted slang, we would say that Venice has Coney Island "backed off the map." We gazed out across the Pacific and as the waves rolled in we wondered where this, the greatest of oceans, got its reputation of being peaceful. We have never seen it when it was not rough. A scientist once said to an old colored gentleman: "Uncle, do you know that the moon is more luminous than the sun?" The old colored gentleman said: "What you mean by luminous?" "I mean that it throws off more light." "Dat may be true, sir, but if it is, all I has to say is dat it has a devilish poor way of showing it." If the Pacific ocean is calm and peaceful it has a devilish poor way of showing it, is all we have to say. (Continued next week.) CAUCASIAN POLICEMAN Contributes to Delinquency of Race Girl—Arrested, Admits Being the Father of Child—Startling Case. (From the New Age, Cal.) Arrest of Frederick August Winter, police officer, for contributing to the delinquency of Juanita Nelson, makes public one of the most startling cases of revolting features in the history of the city. Juanita Nelson is an orphan Race-girl barely 18 years old. She is the mother of a child over a year old, the acknowledged father of which is Winters, a Caucasian of 32 years of age, an ex-fireman of the city department and member of the L. A. Police Force when arrested by Deputy Sheriffs Gillis and McKay. Detective Stevens was immediately detailed by Chief Sebastian to investigate the case and the facts unearthed are astounding. Winter, while a fireman, saw the girl upon a street car in 1912 and began, flirting with her, obtaining her address. They continued to the end of the line, and many other rides and meetings occurred at a Los Angeles Street lodging house, although Juanita Nelson was then, to his knowledge, a ward of the Juvenile Court. Their liaison continued until the girl was expecting to become a mother as a result of their illicit relations. Winter urged a criminal operation, but she refused, fearing the result, and finally was taken to the hospital where the child was born September 21, 1913. Winter had never given his victim either his real name or address and although she described him and a warrant was sworn out for his arrest, he was never found. Ebon-hued Juanita Nelson; child mother of an almost white baby, was given a home with an elderly Mrs. Anderson, at 1455 E. Twenty-third street. Last Saturday at Seventh and Main they met—Juanita Nelson and Frederick Winter, the white father of her illegitimate child. He was glad to see her, stood and talked, asked for and wrote in his notebook her address and phone number. She told him of the child and asked what he would do for its support. They parted, she returning home with his promise to telephone her at 2 p. m. Arrived home, Juanita told Mrs. Anderson she had seen the child's father. Soon the phone rang; he was on the wire. "Are you alone" he asked. The old woman prompted her to answer "yes." Then he would come out and in a few minutes Winter was there. He greeted the girl affectionately, played with the baby and gave it two dollars. His former lust returned; he made improper proposals. Mrs. Anderson had meanwhile phoned the sheriff's office and two deputies motored to the address. One entered the front, the other the rear door, catching Winter as he tried to escape. They obtained shocking evidence of his parlor-attempts. At first Winter claimed he had never seen Juanita Nelson, until she called him in as he was passing; he gave a fictitious name. Then, winking at the officers, claimed he was there on police duty as they were. At police headquarters he made a confession, admittit, the facts as alleged by the girl. Since then he has made a clean breast of the whole matter and offers to support the mother and child by a monthly payment of $15. He wished to marry Juanita Nelson, but is prevented by the state law.

Matron; Mrs. Lottie Gamble, Grand Secretary; Mrs. Annie Love, Mother; Mrs. Katie Love, Wife; Mrs. Minnie L. Crosthwait, Mistress of Ceremonies. The funeral of Mrs. Minnie F. Mosely, 39 years old, wife of Willis G. Mosely, 39 years old, wife of Willis G. Mosely, one of Kansas City's best known letter carriers, and Right Eminent Grand Commander of the Grand Commandery of Missouri and its jurisdiction, was held last Tuesday from the Centennial M. E. church, church N. eleventh and Woodland, of which she was a consistent member. Mrs. Mosely died on Saturday, October 31, after a long illness. She was a member of the Golden Circle and of Ruth Court Order of Calanthe, who had charge of her funeral. The body was taken from the residence to the church under the escort of a platoon of Knights Templars, composed of P. C. Kincaid, Chas. Monroe, W. C. Malory, Ed Johnson, A. B. Adams, Geo Thomas, Sandy Myers, G. W. Johnson, I. W. Page, E. L. Ward, George C. Cole, Lewis Rhodes, Thomas Watson, Frank Scott, G. W. K. Love and Grand Master N. C. Crews. After the funeral the body was taken to Hold en, Mo., where the parents of Mrs. Mosely reside, for burial, and was accompanied by Grand Master Crews. Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd of St. Louis, District Grand Master of Odd Fellows T. B. Watkins, Mrs. Jess Taylor of Independence and Mrs. Bell Harmon. The floral offerings were beautiful and numerous and the funeral was conducted as only the Watkins Bros. can conduct a funeral. The Sun extends to Brother Mosely and to Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Jackson, the parents, its sincere sympathy in their hour of bereavement. The death of H. Milton Kennedy formerly one of the best known barbers in this city, but more recently of Minneapolis, at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Lewis Moseley in Rosedale, was a distinct shock to his multitude of friends in this city who did not know of his presence in the city, much less his illness and death "Count" or "Bud," as he was familiarly known by his intimates, was an Adonis in physique, Chesterfield in manners and was intellectually one of the brightest young men in the city. He was well known to hundreds of the older citizens who would doubt less have attended his funeral had they known of it. The Sun extends its sincere sympathy to the family in its bereavement, and feels that the race has lost a splendid young man. WANTED.

More than 400 persons were present to witness the program. There were two preliminaries before the main event. The first being a go between Kid Willis and the Unknown Kid, in which Kid Willis was given a sleeping potion in the second round that didn't wear off for thirty minutes. It was the cleverest knockout ever recorded in the local arena. The second preliminary was a rattling dingdong affair between Bennie Banks the id of Kansas City, Kas., and One Round Shine, in which One Round was awarded the decision by the referee although it didn't prove popular with the audience. Mr. Felix H. Payne ably referred both preliminaries. The main bout of ten rounds was between Jack Johnson of Topeka and Oscar Mortimer of Canada. The agreement was reached ig both men were on their feet at the end of the tenth round, that the contest should be declared a draw, which it was according to the referee, Kid Rose, although the crowd seemed to think that Mortimer had the shade the best of it. It was the finest exhibition of boxing ever witnessed in the city. And under the management of Leon H. Jordan, master of ceremonies, ably assisted by Bush Wells, Frank Amos and Walter Pritchett, has done much to firmly establish the boxing game in this community. MRS.

TRUTH Down the long centuries of time truth has swept, Challenging the wrong, the false and untrue. Mortal men have turned aside and sadly wept, Before their evil deeds which caused them to rue.

WINN Of Triplett, Mo., one of the most aggressive and intellectual women of the race in Central Missouri. THE BANEFUL HYPOTHESIS. By C. A. Starks. The white man in seeking to enthrone himself on the high hills of heaven has used every argument from the sublime to the ridiculous. This last one he has so warmly espoused that though recognizing its utter falsity he has learned to actually believe it himself, and between the real truth and a decent doubt he finally grits his teeth and proclaims truth falsehood and falsehood truth. One of the fallacies that has become a dogma in his religion is color prejudice and the unrealistic dream of white supremacy. Scientists and naturalists in summing up causes and effects usually pretend to find a certain law or evidence of proportion in generalizing them, and the deduction thus gained they call a rule or principle. We have never believed much in these deductions because error and falsehood are generally the result of all. Nothing proves this better than the position the average white scholar takes regarding color. He usually sees himself as the prototype of the human species and the world's civilization. However, present conditions refute the first and history denies the last. The white race is not the original of the human family, the darker races having this preference according to all authentic history. It is generally known that civilization knew its incipiency in the Egyptian and Ethiopian governments of which the Greeks borrowed generously from their customs. Our white brother dates his origin some centuries from this in what history calls the "Aryan type." In stating causes for this breach of color some attribute it to sociological complications and others simply to leprosalic tendencies. According to this, then, white is neither natural or supreme. As a color white is not dominant in any line or species. First of all over 85 per cent of the races are of the darker type. This holds good in the animal kingdom, on earth and under the sea the darker colors predominate. The heavens are blue and dark as against the "feecy white." The birds wear the fine plumage of the darker tree; the sun is golden, also the saffron moon; the earth, full of God's riches, is black. Gold, the most precious metal, is "yellow." Diamonds are appreciated for their blue fire. The world is teeming with color. This proves white the reverse type. White appears only as a reversal of the natural order of the color scheme. This may be brought about by atmospheric or climatic conditions, or chemical processes. The white light is artificial, the yellow light is natural. The white cotton ball comes from a black stem. If the world is so full of color and colored things so much admired, why is a COLORED PERSON so much hated and despised? Why does a white something pretend to despise a colored something when all nature declares that that colored something is the rule of all creation? White is not supreme. Black can not be a basis of inferiority. When we behold color so dominant in everything earthy, then we begin to think that this is the rule of creation. Are you satisfied with your hair?

If there is anything in a name, then the National Negro Business League means a great national body of Negro business men leagued together, mind you, to promote the general order of business among Negroes. This is doubly true in local organizations, as the national affairs are fraught with the convention spirit, it is to our local league that we must look for an effective work toward uplifting business standards and the promotion of trade among ourselves. To do this we will find it necessary to follow the well established rules of commerce which has always for its basis honesty, full value for the money and fair dealing. Other peculiarities should be dalt with strong and unusual methods of race loyalty and common sense. The business outlook for the negro is great. To the wide wake the light of truth sheds its rays over the horizon of the business world and opens to him possibilities never discovered before, but across this favorable sky emblazoned in bold and stern reading is this one command—work. Unless you invest your money in a business of some kind and work and feel the hopes and setbacks, follow the dalyy routine with added vigor, improve and wrestle with the thousand phases that bob up for consideration, you can not lay claim to real membership in the local league if that league means business. Then the Negro Business League is for business people, and business people should only be admitted to the ranks in order that nothing but business might be transacted or promoted. If you wanted to organize a carpenters' union you would not go to bricklayers, iron workers or common laborers to secure members, would you? No. But you would naturally go to carpenters, an dear carpenters only. Here we have quite a contrast from this. We have the business league going to churches, women's clubs and to every place but to the highways of business life to get timber for its use, so that today we have upon the books of the organization a list of names that really mean nothing and stand for nothing in the business community. What the Negroition of a roomful of vociferous per-Business League wants now is customers and patrons of the business the individual members and associations arguing points of order, berating each other about their knowledge of "parliamentary usages" and debating whether preachers shall be admitted with special honor, and that gratis. "Resolve," said Booker T. Washington, rolling up his sleeves in imitation of the mysterious individual whose activity consists in making resolutions that reach no farther than the door of the meeting place. Let us get out of this habit of resolving and do a little active work in bringing about better conditions among our people and institute a sounder business policy among business people. There are some 33,000 Negroes in Greater Kansas City to be fed, clothed and housed. Abstractly, this means much, how to feed, clothe and house these people through Negro enterprises and with capital controlled by Negroes is the practical problem of our business men. We have had great orations in abundance telling us how far the Negro has come, but little or nothing about how to really solve the "eternal row" problems which are confronting the business person of the hour. We believe that the Business League started wrong, and therefore can not end right. The thing to do is to halt and correct ourselves and put this organization which really has a latent power for great good upon a better working basis. To do this we are giving (what appears in our opinion) some practical suggestions to advance the cause of business. zFirst—Cleaner and better appointed business places, neat and attractive, polite and prompt service, not a mere sign hanging on the wall, but a real active and sincere effort to please and satisfy. Satisfaction they say makes regular customers. Second — Honest advertisements with persistency, not the halting or sporic kind, but steady, practical advertising that brings business and keeps alive business consciousness of the people who would otherwise forget. Back up everything we say and pay for advertising as scrupulously as we do our gas bills. Advertising is a science. If you do not know the game secure the services of an expert and pay him for his labor. Advertising is what keeps the wheel of industry "a going." "So the people may know" is a good slogan in advertising. Fourth—We speak for cleaner and better places. Remember it does not cost as much to keep a place clean as it does dirty. Cleanliness is economy—dirt is wastefulness. Order invites business and trade. Disorder repulses both. Fifth—Let the league get out a "merit sign" for window display and general efficiency to be given only to members who meet requirements or standards set by the league. Sixth—Appoint every member a delegate to actively patrol the streets and boost Negro business and direct customers to all progressive Negro enterprises. Gy a little work on our part and a little loyalty on the part of the public we could easily "freeze out" a certain element who are not of our race and who do not contribute anything to our churches, public institutions or to our real economic life. As the administration for cleaner streets in our business district. Stop the tendency to slum our best community. Put our small Black Race Forms Ten Per Cent of the Population of the Country. Washington, Oct. 14.—A bulletin on negroes in the United States will be issued at an early date by William J. Harris, director of the census, which will contain all the principal information obtained through the census regarding the number and distribution of the negroes, their rate of increase, their sex and age distribution, and their marital condition. The bulletin will sho what the number of negroes in the United States (exclusive of the outlying possessions) in 1910 was 9,827,763, and they formed 10.7 per cent of the total population. In 1900 the number of negroes was 8,833,994, or 11.6 per cent of the total population of that date. The increase among the negroes during the decade was 993,769, or 11.2 per cent, as compared with an increase of 20.8 per cent among the native whites and 30.7 per cent among the foreign born whites. The growth of the negro population results from their own natural increase, while the growth of the white population is accelerated by the great influx of immigrants and the high birth rate in immigrant families. Of the total number of negroes in 1910 about one-fifth were reported as mulatto; that is, as having some white blood. The proportion that mulattos formed of the total negro population increased from 12 per cent in 1870 to 15.2 per cent in 1890, and to 20.9 per cent in 1910. Urban and Rural Distribution. Nearly three-fourth of the negroes (7,138,534, or 72.6 per cent) were rural dwellers, while about one-fourth 2,689,229, or 27.4 per cent) lived in towns or cities of at least 2,50 0inhabitants. Of a total of 2,953 counties in the United States there were only 110 in which there were no negroes, and there were fifty-three counties in 1910, as compared with fifty-five counties in 1900, in which seventy-two per cent of the population was negro. There were 263 counties in 1910 in which fifty per cent of the population was negro. In 1910 there were 4,885,881 negro males in the United States, as compared with 4,941,882 negro females, the number of males to 100 females thus being 98.9, as compared with a ratio of 106 for the whites. The negroes were the only race in the United States in which there were more females than males. The negro males in the United States of voting age numbered 2, 485,873 in 1910, and the negro females of voting age numbered 2, 427,742. Of the negroes 6 to 9 years of age 488,954, or 49.3 per cent, were reported as having attended school during the school year 1909-10; of those 10 to 14 years of age, 791,995, or 68.6 per cent, were so reported; and of those 15 to 20 years of age, 338,750, or 26.5 per cent. In each age group the percentage of school attendance was much lower for the negroes than for the whites. Percentage Decreased. Of the total number of negroes 10 years of age and over, 2,227,731, or 30.4 per cent, were reported as illiterate; among the whites the percentage of illiteracy was five, being three among native whites and 12.7 among the foreign born whites. The percentage of illiteracy among negroes decreased from 57.1 in 1890 to 44.5 in 1900, and to 30.4 in 1910. The total number of farms operated by negroes in 1910 was 893,370; of this number, 218,972 were operated by their owners, 672,964 by tenants, and 1,434 by managers! The number of farms owned by negroes increased by 31,175, or 16.6 per cent, between 1900 and 1910, and the number of negro tenants increased by 115, 790, or 20.8 per cent, during the decade. The total value of farm property operated by negroes in 1910 was $1,144,181,000, as compared with $499,941,000 in 1900, indicating that the value of agricultural property operated by negroes increased considerably more than two-fold during the decade. The statistics show that 1,806,727 negro males and 1,050,849 negro females were engaged in agriculture. The death rate among negroes in 1910 in this area was 25.5 per 1,000, showing a decrease as compared with the rate in 1900, which was 29.4, and the death rates for 1910 show many decreases, especially in the southern municipalities, capitals together and do something practical. A big, well established grocery store on Eighteenth street, run and controlled by negroes, would contribute toward more race salvation than a hundred poverty ridden churches which sap the vitality of the people at least financially.

There are 5,000 suggestions to be carried out, but let us start right. It isn't every doctor who can turn a theory in practice. TREAT YOUR SCALP, AND HAIR MUST GROW!

Trees and fields Shifting Science in Public Life. By the time that Congress has been some months in session, the members form fast friendships, and the impulse to have a little fun now and then will assert itself. The other day one of the large paintings on the stairway was being taken down, rope and tackle were required to handle the gigantic gift frame, and the senators stopped while going to lunch to discuss it. One of the Democrats remarked that "if we are going to make real changes in this administration, let us make some that the people will recognize as they come and go. You'll notice that Colonel Roosevelt's and President Taft's portraits no longer adorn the executive office," he finished exultantly. We must let the shifting pictures into the story in these 'movie times.'"—"Affairs at Washington," by Joe Mitchell Chapple, in National Magazine. "The road to success—I speak of financial success—is rarely long and arduous." said George W. Perkins in one of his brilliant Y. M. C. A. addresses in Cleveland. "It is, as a rule, short and easy. "A man nodded toward a handsome young millionaire and said: "He began, I suppose, as an office boy in the establishment, and worked his way up, step by step, to his present management of the whole vast business." "Not at all," was the dry answer. 'Not at all. He began as Harvard's champion baseballer and married the boss' daughter.'" Japan in Korea. Japan has undertaken to reforest the bare hills of Korea, and in the last few years has planted 12,400,000 trees in that country. This is a piece of far-sighted common sense which is bound to benefit the Korean people, even though not designed for that purpose. No American feels like approving the way in which Japan overrode the rights of a weaker power and annexed Korea, but every candid observer must admit that the mikado's men have carried with them better government and a higher civilization.—Cairo Journal.

It was Frederick Douglass who said: "The Republican party is the ship, all else is the sea." Those Negroes who are still hanging on to the Roosevelt-Nelson regime should crawl into the ship before they drown. Election figures from the Eastern section of the country do not indicate that the G. O. P. is dying out. The so-called Progressive sensation, on the contrary, is being rapidly cast aside by those who appreciate the real elements of good government. Missouri does not appear to be very enthusiastic either upon the suffrage question or the prohibition movement. Advocates of these measures, however, declare that the present setback is only temporary and that success in the near future is sure. It is regretted that the Harvey catering system did not see fit to continue the services of Negro waiters in its magnificent new quaters at the Union station, and the change is so greatly at variance with the well established Harvey spirit that the disappointment is all the more keen. The Sun is receiving calls from everywhere for copies of the paper containing Dr. Rickett's entertaining story of "The Negro and the West." Our first edition being exhausted we have had extra copies issued containing the first issue which can be had by writing to this office. Lincoln school is to be complimented upon the fact that the board of education has selected it as the center in which to try out the experiment of using paper towels. It is said that Lincoln has won approval of school authorities by the economical use which it has made of other school supplies, and if the experiment is a success the sanitary towel supply will be made permanent. The service of the newly equipped lunch room and shoe repairing shop will begin Monday and each is expected to prove a big success. Negro women need a great many things worse than they need the ballot. They need to be inspired with a deeper sense of domesticity and a more sacred regard for maternity. These are the virtues that make for sound citizenship and guarantee real happiness. Let others spend their time upon fads and foibles. We are yet in our infancy and should first solve the elementary problems about us. We need better home life, better trained children, higher moral and social ideals, better refined tastes and a higher appreciation of such virtues as punctuality, economy and sincerity.

In these times fogism should be less perceptible even among the old. * **REMOVAL NOTICE.** * Attorney L. A.

"I don't know what I'm ever going to make of that son of mine," said a prominent citizen of the city of good will the other day. The P. C., it may be said, is a self-made man, graduate of the university of hard knocks, etc. And it naturally grieves him that his son is not aggressive. "Maybe your son hasn't found himself yet," we consoled. "Isn't he gifted in any way?" "Gifted? I should say he is. That's the trouble. He hasn't got a darned thing that wasn't given to him." Offhand Suggestion: "A man is fortunate when his wife regards him as a man whose wisdom can always be depended on." "Yes," replied Mr. Growcher; "but that confiding faith can be carried too far. It's embarrassing to have your wife tell the company that dinner will be fifteen or twenty minutes late, and that while they are waiting you will explain all about the tariff and banking and currency." Oh, Yes. "Pop!" "Yes, my son." "This paper says a fool is born every minute." "Yes, my boy." Oh. Yes. "And doca the stork bring them, too?"

The executive committee, through its chairman, Prof. Buster of the Summer High school, Kansas City, Kas., reported that it had decided that the association should discuss for study this year the history of the Negro race, from its origin and development up to the present time, through all of its phases and many sidedness. This history shall be in the form of monthly editorials, in which at each meeting there shall be an editor in chief who will associate with him two or three associate editors, and they together will write and prepare for presentation in person their editorials on that particular phase of the historical development of the race, set apart for that particular monthly discussion, and so on down the line until we have systematically, intelligently, authoritatively and logically studied and discussed, by all members, up to and inclusive of, the present time, in order that we may have a thorough and fundamental conception of the origin and "parl passu" development of our beloved race. For instance, for our next meeting, which will take place on the third Thursday in November, we shall present for discussion and study the history of the Negro race up to and inclusive of the Fifteenth century, from the very beginnings of human existence. The speakers or editors for this occasion will be: Prof. Buster, who will be the editor-in-chief His associate editors will be Rev. Wm. H. Thomas, pastor of Allen Chapel Prof. G. N.

Whereas, it has so pleased the Omnipotent in his all wise arrangements to call from labor to reward our sister and co-worker, Mrs. Minnie Moseley; and, Whereas, Mrs. Mosely has so faithfully and earnestly worked in the church when her health would permit and was always willing to do what she could; we will miss her pleasant smiles and cheerful words. She never shirked from doing her Christian duty. Why should our tears in sorrow flow, When God recalls his own? And bids her leave a world of woe For an immortal throne. Is not e'en death a gain to her, Whose life to God was given? Gladly to earth her eyes to close To open them in heaven. Her toils are past, her work is done, And she is fully blest. She fought the fight, the victory won, And entered into rest. Then let our tears cease to flow, God has recalled his own. But let our hearts in every woe Still say, "Thy will be done." May the blessings of God rest upon the dear and faithful husband who like his wife is a faithful worker in the church. Be it resolved, that we invoke the blessings of the Almighty upon the bereaved family, administering them to put their trust in him, who is father to the fatherless and a strong support in the time of trouble. Be it further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family, a copy to the Kansas City Sun and a copy to the fraternal orders and a copy properly filed in our minutes. CABINET AND MEMBERS OF THE EPWORTH LEAGUE. Ghastly Custom. The medical profession has succeeded in doing away with a revolting custom that has prevailed in Constantinople for almost a century. In 1827 the authorities discovered that the Greeks were in the habit of smuggling in large quantities of arms and ammunition in closed coffins. They therefore ordered that thenceforward coffins containing the corpses of Greeks should be borne idle through the streets and only sealed after entering the cemetery. Since that time the Greeks have attempted by painting the faces of the dead and resorting to other crude devices, to render the procedure less ghastly. They have also agitated, from time to time, for the abolition of the custom, but made no impression upon the Ottoman government until the local doctors came to their aid. The recent funeral of Constantin V, patriarch of the Greek church, furnished a test case. After an acrimonious debate, it was decided that the coffin should be closed and the custom abolished. KEPT ON "LAYIN." Anthony Comstock at a luncheon in New York said of certain tabooed books and plays: "The motive of these works was perhaps all right. But the expression, the form, was bad. And that spoiled the motive completely. "Expression, form, you know, is everything. Consider how the lack of it spoiled the mason's speech. "A mason at a memorial service said of a bricklayer who had been accidentally killed: "Yes, gents, I looked out once on the beauties of nature, and all was calm. Our friend, deceased here, was layin' a brick. I looked out once again, and still all was ca'm, but our friend, deceased, was no more. He was layin' a corpse."

I used five bottles of Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy and seven bottles of Dr. Miles' Nervine. I was congratulated to the doctor about months. The action of my heart is now, and has been normal for the last six months. I can truly recommend Dr. Miles' Nervine. I needed to do what they are integredent if used according to directions.

WESTERN HAT WORKS 1806 Forest Ave Bell Grand 135W Child' Acts Surgeon's Role. Sarah Shaffer, thirteen years old, of Los Angeles, Cal., developed into a little heroine when her five-year-old sister fell on the sidewalk while at play and shattered her elbow. Dr. Edward G. Willey, chief police surgeon, explained patiently over the telephone how the splint should be put on, and Sarah made such a good job of it as to win the admiration of all who saw the tiny patient when she arrived at the receiving hospital with her little amateur nurse. The children's father is at the county hospital and their mother went to visit him. Maybelle fell and broke her arm. Sarah called up the receiving hospital, but owing to the distance was advised to call one of the district doctors. She could raise none, and again called the receiving hospital. Doctor Wiley told Sarah what to do to relieve the baby's pain, while the ambulance raced out to the Shaffer home, and Sarah obeyed instructions to the letter. London Criticizes New York London Criticizes New York. The little differences between life in London and New York are by no means all to the credit of the latter. Our letter post crosses London in a couple of hours; theirs often takes a couple of days to cross New York. In London the goods you purchase in the morning may be sent home before the evening; in New York you are lucky if they arrive next day. The parcel post, too, is quite a new thing in America. Add to this such facts as the absence of "boots" in the hotels—the guests having to resort to the street-corner "shiners" and the display of dust-bins, even in fashionable streets, long after midday, and it will be seen that the "smart" and "slow" of which the American is so fond when comparing himself with us are not always to be applied as he applies them—London Chronicle. Probable Duration of Sun Adopting the well-known hypothesis of Helmholtz, which attributes the production of the heat emitted by the sun to its contraction, an idea can be formed of the sun's duration. If one gives to the sun a co-efficient of expansion intermediate between that of mercury and that of gas, one arrives at the conclusion that it has taken one million to three million years for the sun to contract to its present radius; in particular, it would have taken ten thousand years to contract from infinity to a radius twice its present radius. Finally, the sun will take 200,000,000 years to contract from its present radius to half that radius, and even then its temperature at the surface will be 3,000 degrees.-Scientific American.

Edwin Booth once scolded one o his supers for the carcless way in which he took his part. “Look at me,’ sald Mr, Booth, “why don't you do as I do?" “Ah, Mr. Booth,” sald the man, “if T were you I would not be carrying spear for one dollar o night.” Don't scold the employee who doesn’t always do things as you Would do them. Remember, he has not your experience, judgment or pres ent ability. If he had he would not be working for you. Don't’ fire” the boy who has disap- Pointed you. ‘Think how you would lke to have some one treat your boy who happened to make a mistake or to do some foolish thing. Do not throw him out. ‘Take all interest. in him. Try to arouse his ambition, ‘Tell him of your struggles to get a start in the world and how important it ts to do everything to a finish. Show him that every letter he writes, that every well done thing is a step to something higher. Did you ever think, Mr. Employer, what ft may mean to you to discharge ® boy or girl, perhaps in a ft of tem- ber or for a trifling offense? It may seem a little thing for you to discharge employees, but it may bo the turning point in thelr careers. It fs a most unfortunate thing for young people, who are very suscep- tible to discouragement, and who are the victims of their moods, to be dis- charged, ‘They sometimes become so disheartened they think it is no use to try to do their best. Some employers say that thelr time fs too valuable to spond breaking in green boys, and they discharge a boy upon the slightest provocation, for a ttle instance, a blunder, carelessness. ‘They do not realize that this may ruln him, Remember that you can persuade a boy, you can lead him, into almost anything, but it { very difficult to drive him, if there is anything in him, Perhaps the boy you want to dis charge has not had the love ‘and care, the tender influences in his home, which your boy has had. In fact, he may have no real home at all, a8 you have it, His home may even have a victous influence upon him. Are you sure there is, nothing 4n him which you can bring out? Employers should resort to every possible expedient before discharg- ing help. Sometimes just a tittle en- couragement, a ttle praise, when an | unruly employee does well, vill re- sult in wonderful tmprovement. Only recently the manager of a large department store told me that he had been so tired with the stu: Pidity, the carelessness and apparent indifference of a girl clerk that he made up tis mind ho must discharge her. He had talked with her and ad- vised her, but found that it did little or no good. He called fier into the oMce one morning to tell her that he Would have to let her go. While talk- ing to her, however, he asked her why {t was that she could not do better, and she told him that she didn’t like the work she was doing; that if he would put her in the silk department he would find she would do better. He made the experiment, and she be- came a different girl. She took a great interest in silks; in fact, had an al- most perfect knowledge of silk tex- tures and colors. The girl is now in charge of the silk department at a large ealary, and her employer says she has become indispensable to the concern. Instead of firing an employee who has tried you perhaps past endurance, change him about, try him in different positions. He may develop genius, He may now be a round peg in a square hole, and after he has found his place he may prove very valuable to you; but if you discharge him it may discourage him from trying, Many men seem to think that they can treat their help in any way; that they can scold them, hound them, nag them, find fault with them, and use all sorts of slave-driving methods in their treatment of them, and yet get their best service, While tliere is now and then a con- selentious person who tries to do his dest under all circumstances, there are a thousand who will give back what they receive, Action and reaction are pretty near-| ly equal in this world, As a rule, People pay us back in our own coin. || They will pay back kindness with kindness, hate with hate and fngrati- tude with contempt. TODAY 18 YOUR DAY AND MINE, The majority of people get a very small percentage of the possible hap piness out of Ife because they are Waiting for that paradise of tomorrow when they believe their worries and thelr anxieties and the things that embarrass and harass them and fret them will be eliminated and only the good things, the things that make People happy, will remain.

Somehow we cannot seem to manage to extract satisfaction and enjoyment Out of the day that Is so full of cares, anxieties and the humdrum routine of life, We are dreaming of that Utopla somewhere in the future that will have all the good things, the comfort, the convenienaes and lux- urfes without the annoying things, the thousand pin pricks and the little annoyances, the fretting and the wor- rying and the anxiety of today. We are dreaming of the condition when our family will all be well, when we shall be strong and healthy, vigorous, and when we sbail be rid of the things ‘that harass, But there fs no such Paradise awaiting us. We are really now in the Paradise which we pictured in our dreams a few years ago. We all are in it. This is the future we looked forward to when we were in School or college, when we first left home to start out in the world for ourselves, and {s it materially different from yesterday? Is {t not the same humdrum sort of life, with the same anxieties, the same worries, the same. cares that we had then, and probably many more? Life is made up of days, each one must be a success or the whole {s marred. ‘The habit, there- fore, of resolving when we start out each morning that the day shall find us a little farther ahead, a little far- ther on, is a wonderful help. Life as a whole will be a success if each day is a success, “Today is your day and mine, the only day we have, the day in which we play our part,” says David Starr Jordan. “What our part may signify in the great ‘whole we may not un- derstand; but we are here to play | it, and now is our time. This we know; it fs @ part of action, not of whining, It is a part of love, not cynicism. It is for us to express love in terms of human helpfulness.” Today is the day that holds the key fo your future, What you do today | you will likely do tomorrow; what you are today you will be tomorrow, with simply one day's growth or one day's retrogression. Today is the bulletin-board of what you do tomor- row. By what philosophy can you {dle way Your time today, waste your ‘nergy, squander your force, and do your work like a drudge, and expect | magnificent harvest ‘of success, prosperity and happiness from such sowing? Today is the seed you are owing for tomorrow's harvest, and if you sow seeds of carefulness, accu- ‘acy, energy, zeal and enthusiasm, If fou sow optimistic good cheer, help- ul seeds, you will reap the same kind if a harvest tomorrow, Evolution of Modern Trade, In a jewelry store more than fitty years ago, John Wanamaker was buy- ing a present for his mother with a few dollars of his earnings. “I'll take that,” he said, pointing to a dainty Jewel and handing out the cash a little proudly. As he spoke, he saw another shiny something that pleased him still more, even though it came higher. “I think I'l change my mind and take that one instead,” he sald to the man, who had not yet wrapped up the first selection. “It's too late now,” snapped the jeweler. “You've bought this and you must keep it.” Doubtless it had been in stock a long time and the salesman felt proud that he had worked it off. It was an affront to the young purchaser, but it was the in- ception of one of the basic policies in the Wanamaker system. The jeweler's attitude reflected trade conditions prior to ‘61, but all this was reversed in the Wanamaker idea, whose creator has lived to see his convictions adopt- ed as business axioms. One price tor goods and the return of purchases has revolutionized retail trade not only in Philadelphia, where it met with bitter opposition, but in all parts of the country. John Wanamaker was one of the first merchants to recognize the privilege of the American woman to change her mind.—"A Modern Busi- ness General,” by Flynn Wayne, in National Magazine, Cire Away: A company of territorials were at the range.

Jesus plainly instructs us that “tres- pastes must needs come.” Our prob- Jem is (a) to avold being the tres- aster and (b) the manner of our con- duct towards those who do trespass. In this lesson the second question is treated first. Though a man be over taken in the very act of trespassing, those who are taught and governed by the Holy Spirit (see chapter 5:16-25) are to prove to the werld by their conduct that they are thus taught and soverned. They are to ‘restore such an one," considering at the same time themselves lest they, too, stumble. To Festore {8 to replace, “to reduce a frac ture," to put a member of the body into Its proper place. Every believer is a member of the body of which Christ fs the head I Cor, 12:12, 14, 2%, and one who falls (stumbles) into sim |is a member out of place. This work |!s not a severe or brutal process. It 4s to be gently and meekly done, Thera is great danger of spiritual pride at this point, as we see others down that we, {n our assumed holiness, no not | alienate, or offend, those whom we are seeking to restore, sce I Cor. 10:12, Man's Duty te Man, ‘The first step ts to help our erring brother to bear his burdens (weights) of temptation, weakness, failure and sin, and in so doing we “fulfill the law. of Christ,” Ch, 6:14; John 19:34; Rom. 15:3. Jesus Christ not only gave us this law, but he also lived it as well, Phil, 2:58, The true disciple, who 1s really trying to help his brother bear his burden, does so with the consclous- hess not of his own rectitude, but rath- er that through the grace of God he has been kept from a like fate. (Other- wise the man who “thinketh hlmselt to be something” deceives himself, and no one else. God knows, so does tie one whom we seck to help, if we are animated by spiritual pride and boast- fulness, This 1s a measuring line whereby we may judge ourselves (v. 4). Pride and criticism of others largely comes from a desire to glory tn ourselves, not so much that we condemn the acts of our neighbor. In Verse three we are admonished to bear the burdens—‘weights"—of others. In verse five we are told that every man must bear his own burden—"load,” 4, ©, the burden of his own responsi bility. No man can bear that load for another, whereas all men can share the “weights” of temptation, weak- nees, failure and sin. No man is held responsible for the failure and weak- ness of others, Rom. 14:12, and every man {s urged to cast his burden of care upon him, I Pet. 5:7. No man can es- cape the burden of his personal re- sponsibility, and part of that respon- sibility is ‘the work of helping the weaker brother to bear his burden. Ill. Those Who Are Taught, vv. 6-10. Paul clearly sets before us the re- sponsibility of being enlightened, Being taught, we must pass on the knowl edge we have been taught, share the “good things” (v. 6) we have re- caived, see Prov. 11:24; I Cor. 9;6. Those who refrain from thus aiding their teachers gain no personal ad- vantage. The word “mocked” means to sneer. Men may sneer at God and think they escape the result of their sin, but ke still produces like. Sow corn, reap corn; figs, reap figs; sin, reap sin; Rom. 8:5, 6. In spite of the contempt men have for God and in the face of thelr acceptance of this principle in other realms they con- tinue in their sin with a strange fa tallstic persigtence. Habits Bless or Curse. This principle has a wide applica. tion. Sow shame, reap dishonor; sow hate, reap bitterness; sow love, reap the fruits of love,’ kindliness, affection and esteem, Every act is a process of sowing. Every appetite fostered, grati- fled and pampered helps to produce a crop of habits either to bless or to curse, This gives color and signifl- cance to the words of verse elght. “He that soweth to his own flesh shall of (ls own) the flesh reap corruption.” If, however, under the leading of the Holy Spirit (cf..John 6:63; II Cor. 3:6) we sow to the Spirit, we will reap eternal life for “this 1s eternal life that we may know him.” ‘To sow to the flesh is to reap moral and physical decay and destruction. To sow to the | Spirit is to reap life, eternal, endless and like ‘unto his divine life.

As on other mornings, the holy com- munion was celebrated at seven O'clock. There were business meet- ings at 10 a. m. and 8 p. m.

George Chaim: ers Richmond of Philadelphia made an impression by an address, and Miss Julia C, Emery of the Woman's aux- lary took active and helpful part in the meeting ofthe women.

It was addressed to. Mr, Charlee Black, and was signed by Andrew Usher.

Could she not read her husband's character in the flashy attire, the money that he spent so lavishly, the ever-ready smile, 80 different from the sour visages of Four Falls? And then, everybody knew that it ‘was no legitimate business which took him away. He was not traveling for any firm. Miss Plumtree sat in a daze for a long time. She must tell Mrs, Usher. But how could she without betraying her own breach of trust? She looked at the heading of the letter again. It ‘was Portstown, of all places, where all the flashiest “sports” went about that time for the county fair. Suddenly a brilliant idea came to her. She knew there was another let ter in the mail addressed to Mrs. Usher by her husband, She found it and looked at it. It was mailed from another city, and, like its predecessor, it was unfastened. Mr. Usher was careless with his mail, ‘The postmistress quickly exchanged the envelopes. Then, sealing them carefully, she handed them to the car- rier for delivery. After that she waited. About half an hour after the deliv ery Mr. Charles Black came into the post office with a singular expression on his face. “Any letters for me?” he asked. “Why, I think there was one for you, Mr, Black,” answered Miss Piumtree watehing him narrowly, ‘\. Mr. Black looked perplexed an¢ walked away. And Miss Plumtrec squinted out up the street, watching for her victim. Surely enough, there she wae coming down. “Good morning, Miss Plumtree,” saic Rose Usher. “Good morning, Mrs. Usher," sat the postmistress. “I think there was letter for you this morning.” “Yes, I have just received it," an swered the girl. To the disgust of the postmistress there was not the shadow of trouble on her face. \ “Do you know, Mr. Usher is growing very careless,” she continued, laugh ing. “What do you think he did? He actually put @ letter to my brother int my envelope.” “Dear me!” murmured Miss Plum tree. Then, venomously, “It isn’t tha he takes anything, you suppose, is it?” she asked. Rose Usher turned on her with dig nity. “My husband is the finest mat in thé world, I would have you know, she answered. She walked out of the office, Th postmistress watched her, She say her go into the railway station, J train would leave for Portstown in 1 few minutes. It was an hour's run the county seat. Miss Plumtree smile to herself and nodded her hea briskly. “Phat settles’ you and your man, she said to herself. “I can see throug! you; you'rs almost us deep as he is Mrs. Usher, but I ean see throug! you.” » In strictest confidence she told on of the nelghbors, omitting all men tion of her part in the affair, By thre In the afternoon half the gossips in the village knew. By six all the gossipe were waiting on the station platform to see Mr, and Mrs. Usher return, They were enjoying thefr anticipa- tons. And when Charley Black put in an appearance, looking decidedly downcast, they nudged each other and chuckled. ‘The train drew in. There were only & few passengers descending at Four Falls, Duly arriving among them were Mr, and Mrs, Usher—radiant, Charley Black ran toward them, 0 word passed, and he wrung his broth- erintaw's hand warmly. And the smiles on the three faces, which had only been normal smiles of happy peo- ple, broadened as the three encour- tered the onlookers, until they became regular grins. “This is quite a gathering,” said Andrew Usher, addressing the post: mistress. “Waiting to meet some body?" “Don't you dare speak to me,” said the offended woman, “I know all about you, if you think I don’t. And let me tell you this, Four Falls is a morai village, and we won't stand for any of your abominations,"* “Ha!” exclaimed Andrew Usher briskly. “Been opening letters, eh?” “How dare you!” cried Miss Adilah “Well, all T can say is that thos¢ two unfastened tetters were in the right envelopes when they left my hands,” answered the bad man, “be cause T took pains to have a witnes: present.

Alas, many of them are in ruins, and others are but old-world, sleepy vil- lages, possessing but a fraction of their former population and little of thelr ancient glory and wealth, But a new era has set in, and these old Bible cities of Asia Minor are again to become prosper- ous and regain some of their lost greatness. Altogether Paul made four great missionary Journeys, Three of these were taken from An- tioch, in Syria, which may be described as the Apostle’s headquarters, the Inst being his voyage from Sidon to Rome as a prisoner, Antioch, there- fore, became the cradle of gentile Christianity. It was here that a Christian community was for the time formed independently of the synagogue, and here the members of the new sect were first called Christians. In the days of St. Paul, that ts, in A. D, 44 to 50, over elghteen hundred years ago now, this his- toric and memorable city of northern Syria was a delightful place to sojourn in. ‘The ancient writ ors called it “Antioch the Beautiful” and “The Crown of the East.” It boasted of a population of half a million souls and was the capital of the old Greek kings of Syria. ‘The banks of the River Orontes that flows through it were lined with stately and noble palaces, while it contained many fine public buildings and works of art and’ some ‘beautiful synagogues. It was amidst this magnificence and splendor that the first Christian church arose, which through {ts disciples, carried the gospel north- westward into Asla Minor, to the tslands of the Great sea, to Macedonia, Greece and Italy. Paul's first journey was taken in company with Barnabas and a relative named Mark, and lasted about two years. His first objective was the 1s- land of Cyprus, lying off the Syrian coast, now under British administration. We can picture the Uttle band crossing the bridge over the Orontes and making thelr way past the plantations to Seleucia, the anefent port of Antioch, where they. embarked, ‘The port is now in ruins, though the walls inclosing the basin are still preserved From this very harbor, then, Paul and Barnabas sailed to commence the first great evangelistic tour deliberately planned by the Christian church. After a tour of the island the preachers sailed to Perga, in Pamphylia, a Roman province on the south coast of Asia Minor, traveling thence to Antioch in Pisidia, ‘To follow them step by step is unnecessary here, as thelr Journeys are record: ed In the Acts.

In St, Paul's day the river was navigable as far as the city, but it has been allowed to silt up, with the result that only very small boats can approach the city now. From Tarsus we have a somewhat rough ride to Bulgurlu, where we again strike the railway. Our Toad is a romantic one, over the Taurus mountains and through the famous Cilician gates. The latter is a pass in a deep rocky gorge. Here a band of engineers are making a track for the railway, 80 that in the near future one will be able to cross the pass in comfortable coaches. The apostle passed through this very defile on his second jour ney. At Bulgurlu we again take the train to Konia, passing over what is likely to become an exceedingly fertile plateau, Konia is in the center of a great cotton-growing district, and is surround ed by luxuriant orchards of plums and apricots. ‘This is ancient Iconium, a very old city, and said to be the first place to emerge after the deluge. ‘The railway has wrought great changes in this ancient city. Modern European houses are spring- ing up near the station, the population 1s growing, trade has Increased four or five-fold, and there is ‘a general sense of alertness. Portions of the old walls that once surrounded the city are still to be Seen, as well as one of its old towers. St. Paul visited this elty twice, once in company with Bar- nabas and the other time with Timothy. It was here that the apostle was taken for a heathen god and had much ado to prevent the priests of Jupiter offering sacrifices to him. In the end, however, the great missionary had to flee the town and seek refuge at Lystra, which les a little to the south and is easlly reached on horseback, About thirty miles southeast of Lystra Hes the site of Derbe, in St. Paul's day an Important fron- tler town of the province of Galatia, The exact Jocality is still uncertain, but is generally placed near the slope of a mountain, Hadji Baba (Pilgrim Father), 8,000-feet high, on a spot which shows in- ications of covering a buried town.

Retracing our steps to Konia, we make prepara tions for a tour to Pisidia Antioch, in Phrygia. It stood on the great high road from Syria to Ephe- ‘sus, and in those early days was the administra- tive and military center of the southern half of the Roman province of Galatia, ‘Away to the south is Perga, now called Murtana, some twelve miles from the coast, the old-time capital of the province of Pamphylia. Paul visited jt twice. On the first occasion he simply passed through it, but on the second made a short stay and preached the word of the Lord. The city has ‘been gradually eclipsed by its seaport, Attalia, now known as Adalia, today a very busy and thriving place, and from whence we can take steamer and gail westward around the coast of Asia Minor, passing many places associated with the missionary story of the apostle. Yonder are the ruins of Myra, once an important port of Lyeia, the harbor where Julius, the centurion who had Paul in charge, transhipped him with his other prisoners into a vessel of Alexandria bound for Rome, the same that was afterward wrecked on the coast of Malta. Then in succession we catch sight of the places touched by the apostle when returning to Syria from Philippi on his third mis- sfonary journey. A few hours only from Myra are the ruing of Patara, where he arrived from Miletus and changed for a vessel bound for Tyre. Pres- ently we come within sight of the island of Rhodes and the town of the same name rendered famous by the bronze Colossus, and then catch sight of Cnidus, mentioned in the account of Paul's voyage to Rome and Cos. The scenery {s now superb and remains so until we reach the Gulf of Mendelyah, where we anchor, and in about an hour stand amid the ruins of Miletus. This famous Greek city, perhaps the greatest of all the old Greek cities in Asia Minor, had lost some of its importance in Paul's time owing to the growing prosperity of Ephesus. As We gaze upon its wonderful ruins we recall the touching story of Paul's solemn and affectionate farewell to the elders of the church at Ephesus. whom he had summoned to Miletus to meet him. Rejoining our steamer, we slip through the nar row channel between Samos and the rocky pro: montory of Trogyllium, in the neighborhood ot which {s an inlet still known as St. Paul's bay, anc in due course arrive at busy Smyrna, from whence we can go by rail to the ruins of Ephesus and alsc to ancient Philadelphia and Laodicea. Leaving the train at Ayasoluk, we are soon among the ruins of the once proud and mighty city of Ephe sus. In Paul's day it was a seaport with a service able harbor, but now, owing to the continuous washing down of soil by the Menderes and th Cayster, it stands high and dry some four or fiv miles east of the latter river. It was the capita of the Roman province of Asia and the then Liv erpoo! of the Mediterranean. It was on the grea line of communication between Rome and th East, and behind it lay such efties as Philadelphia Laodicea and Apameia, Northward again, but easily reached by loca ‘steamer, is the island and town of Mitylene, wit!

However, the word “active” is capable of a very wide interpretation, and may be used indifferently to describe Asama-Yama, one of the most violent of Japanese volcanoes, and Tarumal, which only exhales a little steam from some of its minor cones, so that an estimate based merely upon Professor Milne’s figures would be extreme. pea ache Envy and avarice are the two mean: ‘est pashuns, and I notiss they are gen: erally found together—Jush Billings. ADVICE OF EXPERT NEEDED Other Cities Would Do Well to Re- member This Counsel Given Mew Yorks ‘This city-planning department, while made up of men who have made a ‘study of city planning, should be ad- vised by outside experts, whose sal- ary should be a small percentage of the money saved by their advice, Such a commission or board should have the same power as the bureau of highways or bureau of building, gas and water supply. It should be a per- manent organization so that the work once started should not terminate with the termination of the general municipal administration in force. It would be the duty of the city planning department to co-operate with other departments In order to obtain the best results, At present city planning in New York is being carried on to a certain extent by a more or less informal com- mittee of the board of estimate and apportionment, which, while including high city officials, contains no expert in city planning, and its members are largely, if not wholly and necessarily, occupied with other affairs of tho city’s administration. Under such circumstances it is tm- possible for justice to be done the city in the highly important work of city planning, which affects the future of the city for numberless generations to come. Surely this is a condition which should be remediod.—New York Sun, START THE GARDEN SUBURB Residents Should Have a Proprietary Interest in That Ideal of Dwele Jing Places.

Lack of Color. ‘Too many home places suffer from a lack of tone or color, Many plants with light-colored flowers, vast stretches of cement or gravel walks, faded and undecided shade tn the house paint, all tend to a wishy-washy effect that 1s sadly in need of brightening. Such conditions call for, not a mere touch of color, but a dominance of some strong-growing plant of effective: ness. Scarlet geraniums or Ragged Robin roses in masses or hedges will bring the desired effect and produce ‘@ really wonderful transformation in what was formerly a very uninterest- ing prospect. Manicure Shops Gpread: Disease. Many serious cases of infection of the hands have been traced to the manicure shops. The operators as a rule have no idea of the importance of sanitation and sterilization, Felons and other diseases of the hands are conveyed to patrons of these shops by using utensils which have not been sterilized. Lack of skill in handling the instruments Is another way of spreading infection. After treating the hands of each visitor the operator should disinfect all the instruments she used, also she should sterilize her own hands. If these precautions are observed disease will not be spread. ‘Taking No Chances. Prospective Father-in-Law—You've got some crust to ask me for an advance payment of the dowry.

The opening of the new Union tSation necessitates a re-routing of several of the street railway lines. The passengers' time and convenience were considered first in making these changes; next came the avoidance of congestion of street car and vehicle traffic. Under the new service about 56 cars will be operated past the new Union Station in either direction during the busiest evening hours. These are the new routes: INDEPENDENCE-ROCKHILL: The former Independence Ave. Union Depot line will operate from Hardesty and Independence Ave. on Independence Ave. as heretofore, but will turn south over Walmat St. and hence to the Union Depot via 19th and Main Sts. The former line will continue as heretofore from the south, turning west on 21th St. and into the business district over Walmat St. via Main and 19th Sts.

The greatness of Wellington is never more admiringly remembered than in times of strife—and perhaps never more usefully quoted. The duke one day wanted a bridge constructed, and the officer of the royal engineers whom he consulted on the matter reported that it could not be managed. Another officer was sent for, from another division of the army, with the result that the task was duly accomplished. This caused the duke to put the following in "Orders:" "He who in war fails to do what he undertakes, may always plead the accidents which invariably attend military affairs; but he who declares a thing to be impossible, which is subsequently accomplished, registers his own incapacity." Another "wise saying" of Wellington comes from another reader, and it is appropriate to the moment. He was asked what was the best test of a great general, and he answered: "To know when to retreat; and to dare to it."—London Chronicle. Noncommittal.
