Nibal, Missouri, September 15, 1864 The simple but beautiful remarks of Brother Jas. H. Crews her class leader of Prof. G. N. Grisham, on her rep To my many readers and friends I desire to say that she was a loving and devoted wife. She professed a hope in Christ when but a child and ever after lived a consistent Christian. She lived in Hannibal in the early years of her life and her father having died in the early seventies and her mother being poor and with other small children to support, she determined that if she was to secure an education, she must, win it for herself and so she earned her way through school by working for the family of J. B. Price, a wealthy lumber dealer in that city. She finished the course laid down in the Hannibal schools and in 1879 the family moved to Omaha where after taking several courses in languages and music, she graduated. In 1884 Prof. J. H. Pelham sent for her to become one of the Faculty of the Douglass high school in the city of Hannibal and she taught there until 1879. After a severe attack of illness, she was compelled to give up her work and her mother who was then living and brother John E. Bruce took her home to Omaha. Although I assisted in carrying Miss Bruce on the train on that day many years ago little did I think that she was at a future day to be my wife. After her recovery Prof. Jas. H. Baldwin, knowing her ability as a teacher sent for her to come to Kansas City in 1901 where she remained and taught very successfully until 1905 when she was wedded to the writer, June 21st of that year. I can truthfully say that from that day until, her death she never spoke a harsh or ugly word to me and oh how I shall miss her; but God "who doeth all things well, knows the best." The funeral services of the Ladies of the Golden Circle held at 6:00 p.m. Saturday, January 16, were very impressive. As were also the public services held on Sunday at Allen chapel, and as I sat and listened to the lovely music by Prof. R. G. Jackson and those sweet and beautiful songs that she loved so well as sung by Allen's unequaled choir which were "Take it to the Lord in Prayer"; "Let Jesus Come Into Your Heart"; and "Asleep in Jesus"; sounded like an angel choir in Heaven and will never be forgotten by me. Also permit me to make special mention of that sweet solo "Flee as a Bird" as sung by that dear friend of our family, Mrs. Mattie Dean. After this music our hearts were tuned and prepared for the beautiful Eulogy and resolutions of Condolences which were read from the Golden Circle, the Book Lovers' Club, Carnation Court WORTHY OF NOTICE A convincing argument of the growing appreciation of the efficient service rendered daily by the Negro physicians, surgeons and Negro controlled hospitals in this community is the example of Mrs. Minnie White, 922 E. 21 street who underwent a major operation January 18 under the supervision of Drs. E. A. Walker and J. E. Perry at the Provident-Wheatley, 1214 Vine street. Commendable are these two forces—race loyalty and race efficiency which in the course of the success of any race must necessarily go hand in hand. Miss Bessie Jacobs entered the Rev. and Mrs. T. H.

No. 85 and the Grand Court, H. of J. The simple but beautiful remarks of Brother Jas. H. Crews her class leader of Prof. G. N. Grisham, on her reputation and ability as a teacher and the magnificent and intellectual funeral sermon by Dr. Wm. H. Thomas will always be treasured in the sacred recesses of my heart. And after the solemn ceremonies of the court, our beloved one's remains were carried to the Union Station and conveyed to Omaha, accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Laura Elligan, her niece, Miss Ottoma Elligan, her brother, John F. Bruce and myself. When we arrived at Omaha we were met by the undertakers, Hudson and Reed fine gentlemen on the order of C. H. Counteen whom I believe as an undertaker is second to none in this country and though the people had to wade through eighteen inches of snow yet they turned out in large numbers to express their sympathy and demonstrate how they loved her. The funeral services here were held at 3:00 o'clock from Allen Chapel of which Rev. W. T. Osborne, an old friend of her family is pastor, and in his remarks he told of her profession of eighty years of age. And his splendid remarks and the beautiful singing of the choir and the universal sympathy shown, made one like laughing for joy instead of crying in sorrow. An automobile funeral procession was held here to Forest cemetery, where her body was were forever at an end. And we shall meet her around the great white throne. Mrs. Tillie Rummons and Mrs. Mattie Johnson my cousin will always be cherished in my heart for the many deeds and loving kindness shown my wife during her long illness. And I also desire to sincerely thank my many friends for their heartfelt sympathy, their words of consolation and their beautiful floral offerings and I ask you to continue to pray for me in my sad hour of loneliness, believing that if I live an upright and Christian life here, that I will be enabled to gain admission to that celestial lodge above where the Supreme Architect of the universe presides.

Harvey Groves, dealer in hogs and live stock in Manitou, Colo., died in Chicago at the Provident hospital, after a few weeks' illness of pneumonia. Messrs. Dan Beckwith and Deeves brought the body to Manitou, Colo., and it was buried from St. Andrews chapel. His sister, Mrs. Anna Hogue, attended the funeral from Denver. He leaves surviving him two sisters, a brother George, a mother and other relatives.

A Great National Health Week to be Observed From March 21 to 27, 1915 Tuskegee Institute, Ala. — After carefully considering the whole matter, I am authoried by the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League to invite the following organizations, as well as others to be named later, to unite with the League in observing a National Health Week: Daily and weekly newspapers, Health journals, The National Medical Association, The National Association of Graduate Nurses, The National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, The National League on Urban conditions among Negroes, The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, The National Negro Press Association, The bishops and other officers of colored religious denominations, State Medican Associations, Annual Church Conferences and Associations, Secret society organizations, Colored insurance companies, Farmers' Conferences, Farmers' Improvement Societies, Churches, schools, and other local organizations, State health officers. In Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina and other states special Health Days have at one time or another been observed. For some years the Virginia Organization Society, under the leadership of Major R. R. Moton, has observed a Health or Cleanup Week. It is thought to be well to unite all these efforts into a National Movement and join the movement on to the Virginia effort. It is thought the race will welcome this opportunity to unite all these efforts in one great National Health Movement, and thus gain the benefit of the momentum and the enthusiasm that will come from the great united Health Movement. Without Health and until we reduce our high death rate it will be impossible for us to have permanent success in business, in property getting, in acquiring education, or to show other evidences of progress. WITHOUT HEALTH AND LONG LIFE ALL ELSE FAILS! The following facts will illustrate something of the need and importance of this health movement: 450,000 Negroes in the South alone are seriously ill all the time; the annual cost of the sickness of these 450,000 Negroes is $75,000,000. 112,000 Negro workers in the South alone are sick all the time; their annual loss in earnings is $45,000,000; 45 per cent of the annual deaths among Negroes are preventable. 225,000 Negroes of the working class die annually; 100,000 of these deaths can be prevented. The annual funeral expenses of Negroes in the South alone are $15,000,000; $6,500,000 of this amount could be saved. Sickness and death cost Negroes of the South alone, $100,000,000; $50,000,000 of this amount could be saved. We must reduce our high death rate, dethrone disease and enthrone health and long life. We may differ on other subjects, but there is no room for differences here. Let us make a strong, long, united pull together. Other facts will appear in the weekly press and in circulars from week to week, and information will be gladly furnished. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, President National Negro Business League. The assessed value of colored people's property in Brooks County, Georgia, is $556,977.00. In the Dixie district of this county, an industrial school under Miss Lillie Gaines and the Simon Hill Baptist Church, under Rev. W. F.

C. A. building suggest that everyone was on tiptoe listening and waiting for an important person who happened not to be a Greek myth but a much alive man full of plenty good fighting blood. Prof. Spingarn arrived about forty minutes late after being suddenly transported from train to motor car and as quickly to the Paseo branch where he found a crowded house awaiting contentedly the arrival of the man whom colored people are learning to admire and love. It was a quick message and narration of real acts of association work that have amounted to something in the last ten days. Segregation, Proscription, Jim Crowism and discrimination have heard the voice of justice commanding thus: "Back, hitherto shalt thou come and no further and here shalt thy proud waves be stayed." Mr. Spingarn has an earnest, decisive and enthusiastic style of address that takes hold and pitches everything in front and that of which he does approve he turns toopsy turvey, the rest he pushes in the right direction. The gentleman did not know that he was billed to speak (owing to a confusion of telegrams) but the very fact that he spoke under the conditions is the finest testimonial of his sincere work for the Afro-American's cause. While waiting several were called on for "remarks" among whom was Mr. Albert Jacobson a white friend and member of the association who won applause and friendship by his pure and noble words which everyone voted as "coming from the heart." Miss Todd, Miss Anna J. Jones, Dr. Kealing, Prof. Bowser, and others shared the evening's duties and there was much gained in the way of helpfulness. C. A. STARKS.

DYNAMITERS' PLEA IS MADE BY NEGRO. Turned W. Bell of Kansas Argues Here Against Allegel Excessive Penalties for Three. A hearing to determine whether sentences to six years' imprisonment imposed on Philip Cooley, Frank C. Webb and Jack Bright, alias J. E. Munson, for alleged complicity in the McNamara dynamiting outrages three years ago, was excessive, was held in the United States Court of Appeals yesterday. The men, structural ironworkers of Indianapolis, were sentenced December 31, 1912, and imprisoned in the Leavenworth, Kans, penitentiary. Turner W. Bell, Negro attorney of Leavenworth, represented the prisoners. He contended the men should have been sentenced on one count only and that maximum punishmet for the offense is two years and a fine of $10,000 under the revised statutes of the United States. The case was tried originally in the United States District Court in the eastern division of Kansas July 10, 1914, but the decision was against the Negro attorney's contention. The appeal yesterday was before United States Appellate Judges Adams, Carland and Amidon. They took the case under advisement. Bell has practiced in every Court of Appeals in the eight states of this district. He has practiced law 28 years and the great majority of his clients have been white men. Born in slavery on a Tennessee plantation in 1861, he moved with his parents to Oskaloosa, la., after the war. He was admitted to the bar in 1886 and has accumulated a fortune.—St. Louis Republic.

The geological survey reports that the number of working days at the anthracite mines last year was the largest on record—257. The average number of men employed was 175,745, an increase of about one thousand seven hundred over the previous year. Owing to the increase in the use of artificial gas and coke, says the report, there is little probability that the production of anthracite will show any marked increase in the future.—Exchange.

In Jerusalem the American tourist can, before the war, visit such sites as the garden of Gethsemane, with the olive tree where the Savior was betrayed by Judas and the garden tomb of Jesus, near Mount Calvary. Many of the most interesting parts of Jerusalem have, however, not been open to the visitor or the explorer. Chief among these is the site of the temple of Solomon, which cannot be touched by a Christian or a Hebrew because it is occupied by a Mohammedan mosque. Excavations in the temple area may still reveal the altar of sacrifice, the balzer altar, the table of shew bread, molten sea and various other sacred objects mentioned in the Bible. table of snow bread, molten sea and various other sacred objects mentioned in the Bible. The palace of Solomon, where he received the queen of Sheba, is a building concerning which great interest is naturally felt. It was "built of the cedars of Lebanon." When the stories of Herod's palace are unearthed it is not improbable that beneath these may be found the cedars of Solomon's building, for in those times they had a habit of building on the ruins of their predecessors. A notable instance of a Biblical site of extraordinary interest from which investigators are entirely excluded is the tomb of Abraham and the Hebrew patriarchs at Hebron in Palestine. It was here that Abraham, the forefather of all the Israelites, dwelt with his family, as the book of Genesis tells us. Before he died Abraham bought the cave of Machpelah from Ephron the Hittite as a burial place for himself and his family (Genesis 17). The site of the cave of Hebron has been known from time immemorial. It was known in early Christian times, and in the days of the Savior. No confusion has ever arisen as to its position, such as has occurred in the case of other Bible sites. The cave of Machpelah is situated within an inclosure called the Haram, formed by a gigantic Herodian wall. Above the cave stands a church built by the crusaders in 1187, but since converted into a mosque and for many centuries in the possession of the Turks. In the cave were buried Abraham, his wife, Sarah; his son, Isaac; the latter's wife, Rebekah; Jacob, son of Isaac; Leah, wife of Jacob, and Joseph, son of Jacob and Rachel. In the mosque above the cave are monuments in the form of tombs to Sarah, Isaac, Rebekah, Jacob, Leah and Joseph, but they do not inclose the actual bones. These are presumably in the cave below. The Mohammedans venerate the Hebrew patriarchs, although they oppress their descendants. Ordinarily Christians and Hebrews are not even allowed to enter the Haram surrounding the mosque. Occasionally Christians of great influence, such as the king of England's heir, have been permitted to enter the mosque. Recently photographs were taken for the first time of the six cenotaphs or memorial tombs of the patriarchs within the mosque. These are reproduced in a recent report of the Palestine exploration fund, which gives some very interesting information about the building. "In the church pavement," says the Rev. A. B. Grimaldi in this article, "are three movable slabs which give access by ladder or rope to the cave. But two are fastened up, and not even Moslems are allowed to enter by the third. It is used to throw down written petitions to Abraham; and, looking down, the floor is seen to be covered as with snowflakes. "When King George V (then prince of Wales) visited the mosque a light was let down, and the rocky sides were seen and a doorway entering out of this antechamber into the tomb cave itself. With the granting of freedom to the inhabitants of Palestine the representatives of religion and science will be able to enter this mysterious cave and disclose its contents to the world. Around Hebron center all the interesting events of the patriarchal age recorded in the Bible. Here Abraham prepared to sacrifice his own son, Isaac, in obedience to the will of God, Jacob labored seven years for Rachel, and Esau sold his birthright for a mess of potage. From here Joseph started on his fateful journey to Egypt. A remarkably interesting relic affected by the war is the monastery of St. Catherine, on Mount Sinai, shown in one of the accompanying photographs. This occupies the traditional spot where the Lord delivered the ten commandments to Moses. In the library of this monastery was recently The "America" Manuscript. Perhaps the most precious manuscript acquired by any library of late is the original manuscript of "America," of which Harvard university became the custodian recently. The manuscript is the gift of the son of Dr. Samuel Francis Smith. Doctor Smith wrote the famous hymn in 1832, three years after he was graduated from Harvard. It was first sung on the Fourth of July of that year in the Fark Street church in Boston.

In 1868 the German missionary, Klein, discovered an inscription of Mesha, king of Moab, who is mentioned in II Kings 3. In 1880 some boys, playing in the conduit which leads to the pool of Siloam, discovered an inscription in ancient Hebrew characters dating from the time of King Hezekiah. In 1891 Schumacher discovered a monument of Rameses II (1292 B. C.), who was probably the Pharaoh who oppressed the children of Israel in Egypt, and in 1901 Prof. George Adam Smith discovered a beautiful stele of Seti I, the father of Rameses II. The Harvard expedition at Samaria in 1909-1910 discovered remains of the palace of the Hebrew kings Omri and Ahab, and in one of its chambers potsherds were found containing business accounts written in a character similar to that of the Siloam inscription. These discoveries are only a beginning of the exploration of Palestine. The sites excavated, except that of Samaria, are relatively unimportant towns. The great religious centers of antiquity, such as Hebron, Jerusalem, Bethel and Dan, remain unexplored. Hundreds of large mounds exist all over the country, within which the records of ancient times are deposited one above the other in chronological order. It is not unreasonable to expect that, if these mounds could be explored thoroughly many more Babylonian tablets such as those found at Tanach would be discovered. Perhaps even a whole library might be unearthed in such a place as Kirjath-Sepher, whose name means "Book Town." Since Hebrew inscriptions have been found already there is no reason why more might not be found, or why even manuscripts might not be discovered sealed up in earthen jars, which, as we know from Jeremiah 32:14, was the custom of the Hebrews. Think how the world would be startled if some of the lost books mentioned in the Old Testament were rediscovered, or ancient manuscripts of some of the canonical books! Not only the sacred places of the Holy Land but the most famous sites of the ancient and classical world, barring those of Greece and Rome, lie under the clutches of the unspeakable Turk. Among them are Constantinople, Troy, Babylon, Nineveh, Damascus, Tyre, Sidon, Arbela and many others. Before the war French archeologists had just begun some very interesting researches at Constantinople. They have now partially laid bare the ruins of the palace of Constantine, which, of course, is of great interest as the residence of the emperor who gave his name to the city. This amazing building covered a space of many acres, including quarters, baths and every luxury for the one thousand persons who composed the imperial household and the guards of the palace. It surpasses incomparably both in extent and splendor the palace of the Caesars at Rome, and yet it is probably equaled in interest by many of the other ruins in the city. Few Americans realize the extraordinary interest of Constantinople and the strange manner in which the wealth of the ages has been locked up in it. Constantinople has a longer continuous history than any other great city in the world. Everybody hopes that one of the first results of the war will be to free this ancient center of culture and Christianity, as well as the Holy Land, from the horrible, barbarous Turks.

"He keeps the lawyers busy," said Mr. Whitman. "He always has two or three suits on hand. He reminds me of Blanc. "My goodness, George,' said Blanc's wife, plaintively. 'I don't know what would happen if you ever agreed with me about anything!" "Humph,' growled Blanc, 'I'd be wrong. I'd be wrr AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS --- What shall be done with the Negro? This question is frequently asked and but seldom given a rational, intelligent, satisfactory answer. Possibly it ought to be changed to read thus: What shall the Negro do with himself? Not a few Negroes are answering the question in this form and in very satisfactory fashion, too. Instance the Negroes who have been building up the town of Boley, Okla., and its surrounding section. There is an illustration of the successful and suggestive working out of the self-segregation idea. It has been described and commented on by the Southern Workman: "Boley, Okla., is the largest Negro city in the United States. It is surrounded by some of the richest land in the world and has in its neighborhood most valuable mines of coal and wells of oil. Recently it was the scene of joyous activity when Dr. Booker T. Washington and some 400 delegates to the National Negro Business league came to its citizens from Muskogee, through Okmulgee, Boynton and Clearview, where Negroes are succeeding in farming, in cattle raising, in mining, in the oil and gas fields and in storekeeping. "Boley was founded in 1904 by Thomas M. Hayes of Texas in the rolling prairie land on the Fort Smith & Western railroad between Deep Fork and North Canadian rivers, and is in the heart of a vast region capable of producing such diversified crops as corn, wheat, cotton, potatoes, alfalfa, apples, peaches, grapes, berries and the common garden vegetables. "This Negro town is 'making good.' Today it has over eighty business concerns, an electric lighting plant, efficient waterworks, two banks, several attractive churches, a high school worth over $15,000, a normal and industrial school supported by the C. M. E. church, flourishing fraternal orders, a Masonic temple of the Oklahoma jurisdiction worth $35,000, a telephone system, several cotton gins, a chamber of commerce, a city hall, a Negro station agent and a Negro newspaper. From 15,000 to 20,000 people live in the region surrounding Boley—3,000 are in the township of Boley and 1,300 are in the city of Boley. Here, then, is the beginning—really an excellent beginning—of a demonstration in Negro city building which will be watched closely by those who are interested in the Negro as a factor in business. "The people of Boley, all of whom are Negroes, have shown rare pluck in going into a new country and doing together what most people said Negroes never could do—exercise initiative and judgment in building up business enterprises apart from white men. They have won their present success by making their lot one with the man on the farm. "Boley is in many ways a substantial evidence of the ambition, thrift and capacity of the Negro who takes life more seriously than the average man of the race and is not interfered with by unwise friends or out-and-out enemies. Boley reflects credit on Mr. Haynes and his coworkers. It gives promise of great things. It ought to be better known by young, doubting Negroes, especially city Negroes, who are dissatisfied with their lot and are ignorant of what the South and the Southwest offer in golden opportunities for the sober, hard-work- The Negro Year Book, 1914-1915 has just been issued from the Tuskegee institute, Alabama, Monroe N. Work, editor, and is a more thorough compendium of vital information than ever before, not only to persons of the race, but all students of the life and growth of that race, and all who wish to be informed in regard to a people which has had amazing growth in numbers and in all material and intellectual development since their emancipation from slavery hardly more than half a century ago, the present issue of 448 pages is about 70 pages larger than the last previous issue. Another interesting publication is "The Crisis, a Record of the Darker Races," published weekly at 70 Fifth avenue, New York city. In both publications the question of race segregation is discussed at some length. The warden of a Georgia prison has been puzzled by an order to give one of his prisoners a ten days' allowance on his sentence. As the sentence is for life the order is difficult to carry out. Allen law may bar a red-headed man, but it won't bar a red-headed woman. The earning capacity of a woman determines her right to vote in Norway. Success is always due more to the ability to stand the bumps than anything else. As a rule the self-appointed censor of other people's morals has a busy time of it. Uncle Sam Will Test Your Watch. Regular testing of watches for the public was inaugurated by the United States bureau of standards recently, thus taking up the testing and certification of watches in a similar manner to that carried on by the Kew observatory in England, the Beauncon observatory in France and the Geneva and Neuchâtel observatories in Switzerland. Preliminary tests upon the various types and makes of American watches have already been made, the results of which have been the modifi- ing, cheerful man, regardless of color. "What the future of Boley will be depends not only* on the men and women who have planted a thriving city in a rough country, but also upon the Negroes who are trained (and will be trained within the next few years) for leadership in education, business and public health, as well as in religion and law. "Dr.Washington's visit to Boley, his words of encouragement and advice, together with his vital relation to problems of race adjustment, give the demonstration in 'big business' for the Negro more than passing significance." I am sure that it will prove both interesting and educative to many of your readers to have laid before them certain statistics of church work among the colored race, and gleaned from the recently issued Living Church Annual and Churchman's Almanac for 1915, writes George F. Bragg, Jr., in a communication to the Living Church. Organized congregations to the number of 233, within 53 dioceses and missionary district, report 23,706 colored communicants. They are distributed as follows: The province of New England: In two dioceses and five congregations, there are 1,413 communicants. The province of New York and New Jersey: In six dioceses 19 congregations, 4,439 communicants. The province of Washington: In nine dioceses, 63 congregations, 6,432 communicants. The province of Mid-West: In eight dioceses, 15 congregations, 2,318 communicants. The province of Southwest: In eight dioceses, 18 congregations, 1,189 communicants. The province of California: In two dioceses, two congregations, 222 communicants. The combined colored communicant lists in the entire states of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas and Texas amount to just 266 more communicants than are reported by the single colored parish of St. Philip's church, New York. It would certainly seem that the church needs the "Racial Episcopate," or something else, which promises better results than the machinery we have tried for a whole half century. Here is the real thing which tests the catholicity of the church. Steps taken to improve facilities for the education of the Negro are summarized in an installment just made public of the forthcoming report of the general educational board. Assistance is shown to have been given what the board alludes to as some of the more efficient of the industrial training schools as follows: Hampton institute, $138,000; Tuskegee, $196,912; other institutions, $85,384, making a total of approximately $585,780. To provide for higher education of Negroes, contributions have been made to colleges and universities as follows: Atlanta Baptist college, $5,000; Atlanta university, $5,000; Flsk university, $70,000; Lane college, $7,000; Leeland university, $2,000; Livingstone college, $12,500; Mines Memorial college, $5,000; Paine college, $5,000; Shaw university, $18,000; and Virginia Union university, $11,500, total. $144,000. That the men of the Negro race are strongly averse to taking their own lives as a way out of this world of woe is proved most conclusively by the suicide and attempted suicide records of Houston for the past five months. Bichloride of mercury tablets have no fascination for him and all other forms of poison are classed in the "don't touch" list. On the other hand, the women of the Negro race are not so prone to take solace in the carbolic acid bottle as are the women of the white race, and in following the statistics still further it is shown by the records that there are fewer attempts at suicide by women of the white race than by men. —Houston (Tex.)

SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) GIDEON AND THE THREE HUNDRED. LESSON TEXT—Judges 7:1-8, 16:23 GOLDEN TEXT—Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, salth Jehovah of hosts.—Zech. 4:6, R. V. This was the period of Israel's transition from a nomadic to an agricultural life. The record we have is an alternate succession of idolatry and subjugation with a return to Jehovah and to liberty. 1. "Gideon and All the People," vv. 18. Rallying about him his clansmen Gideon chose a position at the spring of Harod near Jezreel, his back to Mt. Gilboa and the Midianites to the north next to Mt. Moreh. He thus controlled the fords of the Jordan and could prevent the enemy from returning to their homes in the desert country. Outwardly the great discrepancy of numbers made the situation look dubious for Israel, but in reality the danger was that the army was too large, since when the victory was gained they might "vaunt themselves." Individuals and churches usually count their strength according to numbers. (See II Cor. 12:9.) If we desire God's strength it must be as we ourselves are weak (Isa. 40:29). God is sometimes limited by having too many and not enough of the right sort. When God delivers he leaves no room for boasting (Eph. 2:8, 9; Rom. 3:27). God can save as well by the few as by the many (I Samuel 14:6), and frequently uses the weak and despised things to confound the mighty (I Cor. 1:27, 28). that "no flesh should glory in his presence" (I Cor. 1:29). These were two tests whereby Gideon was to select his warriors: (1) "Go to, proclaim, whoseover is fearful let him return” (v. 3). It is not well to criticize too severely the 22,000 who returned; even in the Garden not only Peter, but all the ‘disciples forsook the Master and fled. God does not choose men because they are heroes, but to make heroes of them by the power of his might. (2) There is yet another sifting. God gives Gideon the clue (v. 4), vtz., to decide by their method of drinking. Those who drank “as a dog lappeth,” were those not to be taken off guard even while drinking. An ox glues his eyes upon the water and is oblivious to all else, not so a dog. God cares more for quality than for quantity and there were too many cowards, too many who thought most of self-comfort, to allow them to enter this battle. It was also a strange equipment God gave this army. All they took was food and trumpets (v. 8). The all-essential things for the followers of Christ are the word of God for food (I Pet. 2:2) and the voice of prayer for a trumpet (Num. 10:9, 10; II Chron. 13:14; Rev. 12:11). II. Gideon's Second Assurance, vvv 9-15. It was absurd, humally speaking, for 300 men to expect to defeat 135,000. God "strengthened" Gideon (v. 11). Gideon and Phurah, at God's command, entered the valley and drew near the Midianite host. Avoiding the guard, if any, they drew near enough to hear a man telling his dream to "his fellow." The latter interprets this as nothing else than the "sword of Gideon" (v. 14). Gideon worshiped God and at once returned to arouse the camp of Israel. III. The Sword of the Lord and of Gideon, vv. 16:23. In all probability these men wore their usual weapons as soldiers and carried food for their use in pursuing the enemy. However, for this midnight attack they needed only three weapons, lamps, pitchers and trumpets. Each of these have a spiritual suggestion for the Christian. (See Matt. 25:4; Ps. 119:105; also II Cor. 4:6, 7, and Ezek. 32:3, 1. I Cor. 14:8.) Gideon's stratagem of dividing his men into three companies and then as the pitchers are broken to blow the trumpet caused a lively panic among the Midianites. That Gideon had faith and courage in himself, and in the word of Jehovah, is suggested in his words, "Look on me and do likewise." We are to look to the "captain of our salvation" (Heb. 13:2) and by our lives of obedience prove the devotion of our life (John 15:14, 14:21). As already suggested, there were probably no defenses surrounding the enemy and in the darkness Gideon and his men easily approached the camp. It is easy to imagine the scene—the midnight hour, the army suddenly awakened by a deafening shout, the blasts of trumpets, the 300 torches flashing forth amid the 300 of the encharnery, and all of this in dense darkness, and all of this in the Midianites in the confusion turned their weapons against each other and fled toward the Jordan and into the regions beyond toward the desert. Others followed by the ten thousand, fleeing toward Succoth and Penuel. We of this day have our wars and battles against the wrongs, the principalities and powers of evil, which are around us and within us. Such battles require the same courage, and skill, and consecration of ourselves, as did the wars of those ancients against the enemies that threatened the very existence of the people of God. (See Eph. 6:10-18; I Tim. 6:12.) The trumpets were a call to God and a type of prayer; the pitchers (earthen vessels) a type of our frail bodies in which we have the treasure of the gospel truth (2 Cor. 4:6, 7, Matt. 5:16). Our business is to blow long and loud the trumpet and hold forth the light, which is the Word (Phill. 2:16), and being broken ourselves (John 12:24, Gal. 2:20 R. V.). expect to see the enemies of God overthrown. As every man stood in his appointed place (v. 21). God did the fighting and brought confusion to the enemy (v. 22). A. E. H. Mrs. Mattie E.

Can a white man be a Negro when he has Caucasian blood pumped to his brains from a heart which has been given him by the Almighty God? We have mingling with without high Scribes and Elders a white man whom I have heard preach to many Christians that is a friend to the Negroes. I may speak too boldly of this white man who is Judge Mayo of Chicago, but if I do, God will forgive as I may be a fool and a fool is not held accountable for what he says or does. I would like the reader to stop and ask himself in a worldly way: Do we want another Theodore Roosevelt for a president in 1916? I do not expect anybody who has not studied life worldly and spiritually to see that Judge Mayo is nothing else but a false Christ among us. I have heard him say that he is rich and does not need money. I am a Christian and I feel it my duty to warn others of any danger which in years to come will cause them to suffer by being misled. It comes to me that if Judge Mayo is a true born Christian minister of the Gospel as I have heard him say, why there is the A. M. E. Zion church 1805 Woodland avenue a few hundred dollars in debt and there is the Ebenezer A. M. E. church, 16th and Lydia and Allen chapel and the Second Baptist and St. Stephen's Baptist church and a little church at 12th and Woodland and another near 12th and Woodland and several others that I could mention in need of money and I feel if Judge Mayo is rich and knows God's laws concerning a rich man and the gates of heaven as he claims to know, he should not ask so much about what a friend he is to the Negro Christians but prove by making arrangements to stand good for all the debts on church property in Kansas City and a few other churches that he is using to pave his way to the president's chair in 1916. As far as I am concerned it won't make much difference who is in the White House as I feel what the Negro churches need is capital but we haven't time to take such a long shot for the money as Judge Mayo is blindly leading my race into.

The average banquet speaker does not know the difference between a toast and an annual address. It is difficult to understand how people of intellectual pursuits can stay up late every night and do their work next day. The man or the woman who is identified with every movement is not doing any of them very much good. Banquets among our people ought to be given in sections at least one week apart, then they would not need to last all of any one night. Taking away the box seats from the colored patrons of the Orpheum has largely increased the patronage of said patrons. To please Negroes, squeeze them. The lowest and most cowardly person on earth is the writer of an anonymous letter. Next to him is the person who would give such a letter any serious attention. President Wilson has a ready supply of kind words for the suffragettes always on hand and says some nice things about the Negroes when the southerners are not listening. Don't say anything back. It's an insult, you know. Every vote in favor of the Negro exclusion feature of the immigration bill was cast my Democrats. Every Republican vote in the House was in favor of our people. Yet there are Negroes still going around calling themselves Democrats. Well Colored folks let's stick with the old Metropolitan. Already the "Jitneys" are saying they can't handle Negro trade. The whole scheme is apparently a sinister effort to segregate the Colored people in a small, mean, contemptible manner, backed up by the Negro hating Star which is as bitterly opposed to the Negro as any newspaper published in Southland. The Grand Master of Masons regrets exceedingly that he is unable to comply with the insistent demands of the brethren of the subordinate lodges that he send them copies of the new Masonic hand book. Although he appointed a committee which for efficiency and ability cannot be surpassed, yet their duties have been of such a nature that they have not been able to complete this revision which we promised to the brethren in ninety days but we are quite sure that if the brethren will be patient for a few weeks longer that we'll be able to give them a volume that will be a credit to the entire fraternity. A week'y discussion of Hygiene and Sanitation, First Aid Measures and Preventive Medicine. Questions will be answered but no diagnoses nor prescriptions will be given in this column. He By Dr. A week'y tation, H tive Me wered B tions w ON EATING MEAT. One of the most pronounced characteristics of our race is its decided partiality for meat. Any butcher in a mixed neighborhood will attest to the fact that the colored patrons buy twice as much meat as the whites. It has been our experience frequently to see members of our race walk out of a meat market with an armful of meat for which they have paid from one to two dollars. It has been our further experience in the attempt to put patients on a suitable diet, from which meat is usually excluded, to encounter the following vigorous protest: "I would just as soon be dead if I can't have my meat three times a day." In these days of the high cost of living, with the almost prohibitive prices on meat, it will be readily seen that, with our people, the meat problem, from the viewpoint of social economy has become one of alarming proportions. With far too many of us, that little mite that should be laid aside for the rainy day goes into the butcher's coffers; that part of our income which should be devoted to the accumulation of wealth is ruthlessly and needlessly sacrificed to our ad normal appetites. An abundant meat diet is to be the more condemned because it is not only unnecessary but decidedly detrimental to our health and physical economy, and -- shall be the purpose of this article and the next to point out the dangers to the human body from the ingestion of a super-abundance of meat. Notwithstanding the fact that meat, unless it contains much white connective tissue and sinew matter, is far more digestible than the majority of other foods such as cereals, vegetable, and fruits, it was not intended that man should be a carnivorous animal. For indeed a certain amount of indigestible material is essential to Mr. Editor: Can you find a man by the name of Tom Lewis who lived in Kansas City when last heard from? His brother Peter Lewis, has not heard from him for twenty years and wants to get in communication with him if he is alive Brother Peter Lewis is a member of Pike's Peak Lodge .o. 5. F. & A. M. T. H. Patton, 518 South Wakatsch street, Colorado Springs, Colo. LIFE IS VEILED IN MYSTERY. LIFE IS VEILED IN MYSTERY Rev. J. N. Brownlee, Joplin, Mo. It is appointed unto man to die. All of his life is filled with mystery and worked by wonderful epochs veiled in mystery. We entered a mysterious world and as our mind developed, the horizon of vision was constantly set back. We experienced the epoch of childhood of youth and then maturity for us as well as our departed. The most profound of all life's mysteries is the mystery of death and the grave Man is born to die. We read in the sacred pages of God's book, it is appointed unto man once to die. That man was born of woman, is of a few days and full of trouble, he cometh forth like a flower and is cut down, he fleeth also as a shadow and continueth not, we look around us on every hand and see the work of death. Observation has taught us that ever the long lived and towering oak will eventually fall and decay. Of all the sweet and sacred ceremonies in which the sons of men engage, none is more beautiful than the custom of meeting in heavenly places where we can think ever of those who have fallen before the sickle of the reaper and have crossed the river and are resting under the shade of the trees. All of life is filled with mystery and worked by wonderful epochs. We entered a mysterious world, and as our minds developed the horizon of our vision was constantly set back, we experienced the epoch of childhood of youth and then maturity, some of us have entered the mystery of old, touched and hallowed by the sweet foregream of the mysterious. Beyond these comes finally the most profound of all life's mysteries the mystery of death and the grave.

GEND'TWO CENT'STAMP TO DAY FOR BOOK AGENTS WANTED HUMANIA HAIR Co. Dept 100 23 Duane St. New York City the proper working of the digestive system. The intestines, in particular, need the stimulus of cellulose food like vegetables and fruit, for good peristaltic movements. These movements of the intestine are necessary to the proper digestion of food in the intestine and to the proper movement of the bowels. It is a matter of common experience that after a good dinner, especially after a sumptuous Sunday repast in which there has been an abundance of meat, to have a feeling of heaviness, a sensation of drowsiness which is not easily overcome or thrown off. Indeed this feeling is often so overpowering that immediate work is out of the question and sleep becomes inevitable. Such sensations do not follow a meal consisting of vegetables alone or of milk and vegetables. Hence it follows that it is the meat which exercises the depressing influence over the brain and nervous system. It can be seen also that constant depression of the brain and nervous system resulting from an abundant daily meat diet will bring about not only functional changes in these organs with their attendant mental and physical sluggishness, but structural changes with permanent and still more direful results. An abundant meat diet also endangers the circulatory system by increasing the viscosity of the blood to the extent that its circulation through the blood vessels is impaired. Apoplexy is more frequent among those who have long been addicted to excessive meat eating. For reasons which it is beyond the limits of thi spaper for us to point out, it is inadvisable to give meat to young children, or to persons advanced in years, particularly if they are decrepit. In our next article we shall point out the dangers to the liver and kidneys from an excessive meat diet and make some recommendations. THE CHRIST SPIRIT. "Whatever things are true, whatever things are venerable, whatever things are righteous, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report," all owe their origin and continuance to the Christ spirit. In this Christ-mas season is a good time to meditate upon the Christ spirit and to reckon up the blessings that have their origin and impulse in the Christ spirit. Is it possible to think of anything in all the wide world that contributes to human hope and happiness that does not exist because of the Christ spirit? All consolation, all comfort, all hope, all gladness, all that soothes, the rough asperities of life in this human world all of these exist and abound because Christ came into the world and breathed upon it his spirit. The Christ spirit is a spirit of good will. In the angel's song that echoed over the Judean hills on the night of the birth of Jesus was the glad and glorious refrain: "Good will toward men." That was an expression and declaration of the kindly purpose of God toward sinful men. It contained that the greatest blessing and the highest good might come to all men. Just this is what the Christ spirit means in the world today. As this spirit gets possession of human minds and hearts and wills there is good will toward men—all men. There is no enmity, no malice, no hatred, no feeling of revenge but the desire that blessings may be upon the heads of all men. The Christ spirit is a spirit of good cheer. Again and again during his ministerial work on earth Christ spoke these words: "Be of good cheer." He tried to show men how there was solid ground for good cheer. He endeavored to assure them that if they would ally themselves with him and trust him and follow him that there was even in a world of sin and sorrow and in spite of all the difficulties and burdens and trials and sorrows good reason for hope and cheer. The Christ spirit smiles and sings glad songs and lightens burdens and puts light in dark places and gives flowers and wipes away tears. The Christ spirit is a spirit of love. The love of Christ is boundless and timeless. He loves the unworthy, the ungrateful, the lowest and most lost of all the earth. His love never falters nor falls. "Having loved his own, he loved them to the end." He so loved that he gave his life for the ungodly. The Christ spirit of love is in the world today. Human hearts are responding to his love. Men and women are imbued with his spirit having his spirit they love—love him and love what he loves. Saved men and women are loving their neighbors, loving lost men and women for whom Christ died and acting from a spontaneous impulse are giving their time, their money and themselves to the rescue of the pershing. The Christ spirit is a spirit of service. Christ spirit is a spirit of service. Christ was the greatest of servants. Hear this work from Paul: Have this mind in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who existing in the form of God accounted not his being on an equality with God, accounted not his being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself taking the form of a servant, becoming in the likeness of man; and being found in fashion as a ma, he humbled himself becoming obedient to death and the death of the Cross. Of himself Jesus said: "For even the son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister." And at the same time he said to his disciples; but whosoever will be great among you shall be your minister; and whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be the servant of all. So the spirit of Christ gives itself in service to other. How wide this field of service. The more there is of the Christ spirit in the lives of men and women, the more there will be of an selfish service. The Christ spirit is the spirit of sacrifice. Christ gave his life as a ransom. He became obedient unto death even the death of the cross. He laid down his life to save the objects of his love. It is in the nature of love to sacrifice. We may say that love loves to sacrifice in the interest of the objects of love. True love is always and everywhere sacrificial. There are no limits to which it will not go and no price that it will not pay. There is no pain that it will not suffer and no depth of humiliation to which it will not descend. Love will suffer without complaints and die if need be. HEALTH, HAPPINESS AND POS PERITY What a Blessed condition. I want every colored person in America to realize this great truth. I teach you how.

Smith's splendid business career and success should be inspiring incentive to every Negro youth in greater Kansas City. —That a guy answered an ad in an Eastern paper which said: "If you send us 25 cents we will send you by return mail a coat hanger and a cigar lighter of good quality." He sent the 25 cents and got a ten-penny nail and a match. They delivered, didn't they?

He won the majority of the games, showing that he is an adept at this form of recreation. On Saturday evenings he intends to teach a number of persons the difficult game of chess.

Both Auditorium and balcony were filled. Prof. Jackson was in one of his happiest veins with the result that the music was of an exceptionally high order. The sermon was by Rev T. H. Wiseman and for elegance of expression, brilliance in application and magnificent delivery has seldom been excelled. The duet by Mrs. Hamnett and Miss Moseley will long be remembered and stirred the audience to its depths and at its conclusion Miss Mosley and Miss Mazie Woodson leading sopranos of the choir united with the church amid shouts, hallelujahs and tears from the other members of this renowned organization.

Dr. S. W. Bacote, the pastor was very forunate in being supported by a body of coworkers who seemed to vie with each other in an effort to be instrumental in saving souls. The open air street meetings and parades are a grand success both in impressing sinners and stirring up luke warm Christians and back sliders. All of the auxiliaries of the Church have suspended their meetings and are consolidating their forces by God's help in an effort to uproot sin and Satan from their trenches. Already there have been 75 additions to the Church of which number 43 are candidates for Baptism. Let the good work go on. VINE STREET BAUTIST CHURCH.

A QUICK AFFAIR Salt Lake City, Utah. The record of the marriage license bureau of January 12th at Salt Lake City, Utah reads, "George Conn and Lorenza McMillan, ages 34 and 28 respectively"; but to the greater number of their Kansas City friends, they are known as "Peg" and Bobbie. The old train fairly creeped along all the way, and I was compelled to lay over six hours in Denver. Just think of it!" remarked the bride-elect as Bobbie took the grip from her hand and led her to a waiting auto. The rest of the conversation was lost to your correspondent as the driver started the car and yelled "where?" "To the court house," quickly answered the anxious bride-groom elect. It was 6:40 p. m. and so thorough were the arrangements that by 7:20 in the presence of a few friends at the home of O. D. Jackson, 357½ South Second East street Rev. Wilkinson of the Cavalry Baptist church, pronounced them man and wife. Although that will be their future home address, Mr. Conn gave those present little time to get acquainted with his bride, for they were whizzed away to the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. Frank Neal, where a sumptuous wedding supper was served. Mr. Conn is the efficient assistant of Mr. A. Frank Neal at the Hotel Utah and has made a host of friends, with both patrons and employees. We wish for him and his, nothing but that which is good. Very truly, H. W. OSBORNE.

At fifty Hilda Mainwaring was accounted the prettiest woman in the town, and her son Walter was said to be the image of his father, by those old enough to remember the late general. Augustus Mainwaring had fallen in love with the beautiful village belle while on a visit from England to the United States. He had married her and taken her to England to live. After his death she had returned to her native country. At school Walter was twitted by his friends with being an Englishman. When he was twenty-one the vexed question of nationality could be decided. Most people thought that that choice would be made, next year, in favor of America, on account of pretty Miss Agnes Latham. Village gossip coupled together the names of the bank president's daughter and Walter. It would be an ideal match. She had money; the Mainwaring lived decently enough, they were not supposed to be rich, and were, of course, of good family. After leaving the high school, to everyone's surprise, instead of entering college Walter accepted a position in the bank. At that heads were wagging knowingly. The reason did not seem an abstruse one. And then, like a bombshell, came the news that war had broken out in Europe. Walter Mainwaring, reserved by nature, had told nobody of his secret dream one day to emulate the exploits of his father, who had won the Victoria Cross in the Sudan for heroism. Perhaps he had, looking at the matter in a common sense way, decided that the realization of his dreams was impossible. On the evening of the declaration he walked home from the bank with his mind made up. England was calling for soldiers; it was said to be the duty of every able-bodied man to enlist. How much the more his, then, with his father's record behind him? Practical that he was, Walter Mainwaring went straight to Miss A "I Am Going to Give Up My Position." Latham's house, because it was the nearest point of call to the office. "In't the news dreadful, Walter!" sighed Agnes, after greeting him with an unusually warm handshake." Walter plunged abruptly into the subject that occupied his thoughts. "Agnes, I am going to England to enlist," he said. The girl looked keenly into his face. Was he joking? But it was unlike his serious nature to joke in that way. Yet it seemed horribly unreal, in the Little peaceful village: War, shots falling, and Walter in the thick of it. She caught him by the hands. "What do you mean, Walter?" she cried. "England wants every man," he answered. "You know my father's record, Agnes. It would be expected of me." "But when are you going?" asked the girl, stricken almost speechless by the thought. "Tomorrow," he answered. That was all, but it was a fortunate thing that there had never been any lovemaking between them. Agnes felt that she had no excuse for tears—except in her own room; for reproaches, except perhaps dim feelings that he had wronged her. She had loved him, and had awaited the time when he would be able to declare his love. She thought he had gone into the bank instead of to college so as to bring that time nearer. Perhaps he had. Walter Mainwaring did not wear his heart upon his sleeve, however, and nobody knew. The next house he came to was that of the bank manager. The president, Agnes' father, was away on a business trip. Walter had not been able to catch Mr. White at the bank. So he took the most direct route; he went to his house. "I am going to give up my position, sir," he said. "I am going to England to enlist." "Good Lord!" said Mr. White, starring at the young fellow. He did not know what to say. "I suppose it is because of your father, Walter?" he asked. "Yes, sir," answered Walter. "You don't think you are doing wrong?" asked the manager. "Your future—well, my mother—she is all alone, you know." "I don't think my father would have wished anything else, sir," said Walter; and Mr. White said nothing more. Privately, of course, he thought him a fool, and he would not have hesitated to say so to most young men; but Walter always won respect, even where he did not gain sympathy. He went straight home, and his mother was waiting for him at the door, as she always did. Walter kissed her. "Well, it's come, mother," ate, the boy, nerving himself for the ordeal. "Yes, Walter," answered his mother. "War is a dreadful thing, but sometimes it is necessary. And this seems necessary. England could not have done anything else." "No," answered the boy. When his mother yielded so realily he knew that she had stronger dissuasive arguments behind. "I want to show you something, my dear," she continued, and, leading the way into the living room, she began rummaging among a heap of papers in a desk. At last she brought out what she had been looking for, and, smiling at her son, sat down beside him at the table. "You knew we were not rich enough for you to go to college when you wished it, Walter?" she asked. "I suspected so, mother," answered the boy. "I have never told you how our atfairs stand. Your father was a disciplinarian; he wanted you to be under me until you were twenty-one; then you were to become master of the house. He left $12,000. His instructions were that, if I decided to return to America, you were to receive the best education that our means allowed. He had planned a college course for you, but living costs twice as much as in his day, and the money would not cover it." "We have lived on our capital, mother?" asked Walter, wondering. "Yes, my dear. Your father's idea was that the capital would last four years after you had left college. Then you were to begin supporting me. Later, perhaps, you would be able to marry. That rt. rt was left indefinite. He wanted to do his duty toward you to the full; to give you every opportunity, so that you should be able to support me in comfort afterward. I am afraid, my dear, that your father thought more of me than of you—he had the English idea of children's duty to subordinate themselves to their parents." "And we have spent—?" "All but $1,500, Walter. As I told you, prices are much higher than when I was a girl. Your father reckoned on our living modestly upon a thousand a year. It costs us twelve hundred and fifty. That is the reason why you went into the bank and not to college." And suddenly she threw her arms around his neck and kissed him impulsively. "O, don't you think I know, dearest?" she cried. "Don't you supose your mother can read your heart? And you haven't said a word to her yet—and there is no need for you to say that word, Walter. "Let me tell you something; during the South African war your father longed to go to the front. He was one of the cleverest strategists in England. He would have come home a peer, with a pension large enough to give us everything we wanted. But because of his ability he had to stay at home and help direct the others, who were less skillful than he. He bore it bravely. You know his mottot: 'They also serve who only stand and wait.'" The boy looked up at her, and in the tragedy of his face she saw that all his youthful dreams were shattered. But she knew that a Mainwaring would not prove false to the duty which lay immediately to hand. She saw what he was suffering; knew that his father's instincts were strong in the son. She saw the quiet life in the village, without even the consolation of marriage for years to come. Perhaps she guessed that he had already told Agnes of his intention, and pictured the smiles at his enthusiasm, the commendation of his "common sense" which would prove more galling than the criticism of folly. She saw all this, and how he received the blow just as his father had done in England, ten years before. The boy rose up. "God bless you, mother," he said. "I believe I'll run over to the bank after supper to help, because Mr. White is balancing the accounts." (Copyright, 1914, by W. G. Chapman.) Origin of the Tides If then there exists on the earth's surface, under the moon, a mass of liquid, such as the ocean, whose particles, like those of all liquids, move freely among one another instead of being fixed rigidly like those of a solid, it is evident that this liquid will tend to be drawn away from the solid earth by virtue of the greater attraction to which it is subjected, and in this tendency lies the origin of the tides. But there are two tides per day, owing to the fact that the same differential effect of the moon's attraction is felt, in a reverse way, on the side of the earth that is turned from the moon. On that side the ocean water is farther from the moon, than the center of the earth is. In consequence the earth is drawn away from the water, and the latter is raised into a tide analogous to the one on the other side. Wedding Ring Fancies Fancy weaves the prettiest of ideas around the golden symbol that the happy lover places upon the slender finger of his beloved on the great day of days. Some of the old sayings are worth remembering, for at heart most of us have a tinge of belief in fates and fairies and the like. If the ring should be taken off after the wedding service has been performed, it is said that dire misfortune will ensue. Probably the foundation of this belief lay in the fact that the ring, having been hallowed, should not be removed for any reason. For the Defense. Judge—And you still claim to be innocent, although six witnesses say they saw you commit the crime? Prisoner—Your honor, I can produce 6,000 who didn't see me.—Cornell Widow. Intimate Affairs "That was a wedding worth seeing." "Why so?" "She had previously been engaged to all the ushers and he to all the bridesmaids." Royal Ermine in a Chic Matched Set I Two Views of Velvet Turban, and a Hat THE FASHION WEEK ERMINE is for those who may in dulge in luxuries and buz; other furs for real utility. Not that the roary fur is not durable enough, but because its creamy whiteness makes it unpractical for the workaday world. It is a fur for occasional wear and, since it will last for a long time, should be selected in shapes of muffs and neckpieces that are always in style. The rather large flat truff and the plain straight scarf are never passe, and therefore the safest choice in the richest furs. Narrow boas of ermine and small neckpeaces are really more chic than any other finish to the pretty midwinter promenade or visiting toilete. Muffs, whether made to wear with large or small scarfs and neckpeaces, are usually rather large. But ermine is one of those splendid things that look best when sparingly used. Like diamonds that are too large, and rich lace recklessly used, as if it were of little account, something is lost of the best effects when ermine is made Two Views of Velvet SOON those deft fingers that carry out inspirations and translate fancy into headwear will be busy with flowers and straws and ribbons with which we shall salute the spring. Just now they are making ready for this and fashioning some of the between-season and midwinter hats for which they must depend upon the tourist to make the demand. Gladly those who create millinery turn to the fabrics and novelties that inspire them. The story of the winter is almost told, but occasionally one sees a new development of the most familiar materials. Two views of a rich velvet turban are shown here, and with them a picture of a brimmed hat. The turban is trimmed with two fitch skins and is noticeably original in draping and lovely in color scheme. The frame is brimless and the velvet sweeps toward the back in a full puff which is extended into a wing. It fits closely The New Peticoats. Petticcoats made of pique, buttonholed in big scallops about the hem, are durable and serviceable. They are not transparent, and that is one of the things that commends them for practical wear. Quite the opposite of the pique petticoat is that of net. It is often hand embroidered with a scalloped edge and some sprays of leaves above the scallop. The dancing petticoat is usually made with a slash in each side. This into entire coats or very ample capes and scarfs. In the picture an attractive set is shown, with the neckpiece only two skins in width and the muff an excellent shape. The set is exquisitely made. The setting-in of the brilliant blackpoints of the tails is a feature that shows how expert workmanship can add to the beauty of that which is already beautiful. There are certain types among women to which ermine is especially well suited. There must be something in the wearer to match up with the eminence of that fur which is the wear of queens. Beautiful Fur Set. A beautiful fur set is of tallessermine—a quaint, pointed cape-like toque, with one long slender quill held in place by a cluster of black crystals, a long, wide stole, with much elongated pointed ends and a bunch of talis forming a tassel to finish them off, and a heart-shaped muff. Turban, and a Hat about the head. Its outlines and the rich depth of color in the king's blue velvet make it rich and becoming before the handsome furs are added. The two skins are mounted with heads posed at the left front. One of them runs over the crown and the other follows the line of the velvet draping on the side crown. The reverse view shows the velvet draping on the right side and the pose of the hat on the head. A handsome brimmed hat has a soft crown, with collar of velvet and a moderately wide brim that lift. at one side. A short plume at the right side curls downward from the collar to the brim, and a second plume at the left is mounted to stand and curl downward. Hat and plumes are in black and made just the right sort of background for the wreath of a small brilliant, metallic flowers that encircle the crown. JULIA BOTTOMLEY arrangement insures freedom, without which it is impossible nowadays to dance. The lower edge of the front and back of the petticoat are usually rounded, so that the petticoat is really formed of two sections rounded into a deep oval at the hem, fastened together along their long edges and fitted or gathered into the waist along the narrow edges. Fountain pens were invented shortly before the beginning of the nineteenth century. FOR THE SUCCULENT CARROT Six Ways of Serving Vegetable That Should Be of More General Consumption. Creamed Carrots. — Scrape and wash the carrots, cut in thin slices crosswise; boil in salted water until tender, drain off the water, cover with sweet milk, add salt to taste and a small piece of butter. Thicken with a spoonful of flour to the consistency of good cream. Carrot Croquettes.—Boll four large carrots until tender; drain and rub through sleeve, add one cupful of thick white sauce, mix well and reason to taste. When cold, shape into croquettes, and fry same as other croquettes. Carrot Soup.—One quart of thinly sliced carrots, one head of celery, three or four quarts of water, boil for two and one-half hours; add one-half cupful of rice and boil for an hour longer; season with salt and pepper and a small cupful of cream. Carrot Pie.—Scrape and boll the carrots until very tender, then mash thoroughly, and to one cupful of carrot add one pint of milk, one-half teaspoonful each of salt, cinnamon and ginger, one well-beaten egg, sugar to sweeten to taste. Bake slowly in one crust like squash pie. Carrot Preserve.—Boll the carrots until tender; peel and slice them and to each pound add one pound of granulated sugar and one half cupful of water; flavor with lemon. Simmer slowly until rich and thick, then seal. Carrot Marmalade.—Boll the carrots until perfectly tender, then mash to a fine smooth pulp, and to each pound allow one pound of sugar, six almonds, the grated rind of one lemon and the juice of two and a few drops of almond flavoring. Bring to a boil gradually, and let boil, stirring constantly for five minutes; then pour into jars and seal. DAINTY BASKET OF MACARON For the Luncheon Table or the After neon Thin Skin Delicious Take two cupfuls sugar, one cupful boiling water and one-eighth teaspoonful cream of tartar. Put ingredients in a smooth saucepan, stir, place on range and heat to boiling point. Boll without stirring until sirup begins to dissolve. Remove from fire and place in larger pan of cold water to instantly stop boiling. Remove from cold water and place in a saucepan of hot water. Now dip macaroni in sirup at regular intervals close to edge and put two together. When firm add a third macaroni and so on until a circle is formed large enough for base of basket. Over these fit another layer of macaroni and over the second layer a third one. Make a handle of stretched candy twisted, and adjust same. Arrange basket on small plate, fill with ice cream, garnish with whipped cream, flavored and sweetened, and surround with holly.—Exchange. Wash Chamois and Doeskin Gloves. The secret of success in washing chamois and doeskin gloves lies in using lukewarm or cool water—better cool than even a few degrees too warm. That, at least, is one of the secrets; the other is to use soapy water. The soaper the water, providing it is of the right temperature, the silkier and softer the gloves will be. They should first be freed from all dirt in a soap bath, and then put through another soapy bath in order that they may be rinsed from the dirt set free. They should then be pressed and squeezed in a thick towel until they are free from soap and water as nearly as possible. Then they are ready to be hung to dry in a cool, dry place. Never hang them near a fire, and never hang them in the sunshine if you would have them soft and pliable after laundering. Individual Cocoanut Pies. Beat together the yolks of two eggs, one cupful sugar, three tablespoonfuls flour and pinch of salt. Add one pint boiling milk and stir briskly until it thickens smoothly. Remove from stove, flavor with vanilla and add three-quarters cupful shredded cocoanut. Pour into individual shells that have been previously baked. Make a meringue of whites of two eggs and a tablespoonful of sugar and drop on ples. Brown in quite hot oven. These are truly delicious. Heavenly Hash. Beat yolks of four eggs until very thick; beat into them gradually one cupful powdered sugar and one-half teaspoonful of salt. Beat until sugar is dissolved. Add juice of two lemons and beat again. Peel and slice thin six bananas and four oranges, put in a deep dish a layer of bananas, then a layer of dressing, then of oranges, and so on, having the bananas on top, and pour the remainder of dressing over it. Serve very cold. Beef Scraps With Tomato Take pieces of beef left from a roast that are not inviting enough to serve again at the table. Place in the bottom of a granite baking dish, season with salt and pepper and pour over this a quart can of tomatoes, or a can of tomato soup is even better. Then cover with bread crumbs and dot with butter and bake till golden brown. Fine served with fried potatoes. Beef Fricassee. Cut two pounds of sow beef into pieces about two inches square. Roll them in flour. Have some meat drippings heated in a large frying pan. Put in the meat with six or eight onions sliced. Cook until brown. Add the contents of a can of tomatoes. Remove to back of range and cook slowly two hours. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Real nice if served with well-baked potatoes. More Comfortable Shoes Paste a round piece of black velvet inside your low-cut shees when they begin to stretch, and you will not be bothered with them slipping up and down. Scarborough Famous Resort WHEN the German fleet bombarded Scarborough and Hartlepool, both known only as watering places, it was taken for granted that the raid was designed to terrify the people of England, since neither place is really fortified. Scarborough has no military history in modern times, but it was a stronghold of prime importance in the middle ages, and the great peninsula, or Scar, from which the town takes its name, and which juts out boldly into the North sea, is crowned by an ancient Norman castle, now in ruins. It was off Flamborough head, a promontory a few miles south of Scarborough, that John Paul Jones, in the Bon Homme Richard, fought and took the British frigate Serapis in the Revolutionary war. The thunder of the cannon in this sea duel was plainly audible to the inhabitants of Scarborough, and they were in constant dread that Jones would sail in and batter their houses about their ears. But his own ship sank from the effects of the Serapis's fire, and Jones made haste to get away with his prize before the British fleet could come up; and so it was a century and a quarter before Scarborough felt the effects of hostile cannon. Scarborough is what is known as a municipal and parliamentary borough, and its liberties date back to the charter granted in 1181 by Henry II. It is 37 miles northeast of the episcopal city of York and a little more than two hundred miles from London by the North Eastern railway, lying in that section of Yorkshire called the North Riding. It has a population of more than forty thousand. Geographically, it is distinguished by the peninsula which juts out from the center of the town, crowned by the remains of the castle first built by Henry II, and Copyright Underwood & Underwood The CASTLE CAPE MARY POPEWALD & UPPERWALD VIEW of SCARBOROUGH added to by most of the successive Norman monarchs. This peninsula is 285 feet high, and has suffered much from the erosion of the waves. In 1190, the old chronicles say, the area of the castle yard was 60 acres; now it is but 17. There is a moat on the landward side, with walls and towers and a lofty Norman keep, partly in ruins. Near the landward end of the peninsula is the Church of St. Mary, occupying the site of a Cistercian monastery founded in 1198. This church, which would be in line of German shells in consequence of its imposing and commanding position, was destroyed by the castle guns during the Commonwealth, when the Roundheads besieged the Cavalier garrison. It was afterward repaired. Famed as Watering Place. In 1620 Mrs. Farren, a resident of the borough, discovered two mineral springs near the shores of the South bay—the semiprotected areas of water on each side of the peninsula are called the North bay and the South bay. From this time dates the rise of Scarborough as a watering place. It is now one of the best-known resorts in England. The climate is equable at all times, and the sur Records Telephone Talk. No more will we deny having said certain things over the telephone, for there is now a little "listener in" which will record every word spoken. This instrument is called the telescribe. It was invented by Thomas A. Edison, who has at last succeeded in making a telephone remember. To operate the telescribe, the receiver of the telephone is inserted into a socket of the machine and a small receiver connected with the machine is placed to the ear. Two small buttons are used to stop and start the machine, which can be done instantly, thus allowing no waste on the wax record, which records the words. The telescribe is invaluable in important conversations," as a perfect record is in the possession of the speaker for reference, if confirmation of the talk is desired. Nonster Attacks Ship Nine Days Many of the theories which seek to dispose of such accounts postulate the existence in the sea of monsters which, if they are not sea serpents, are as terrible as if they could be so An Ancient City. rounding country unusually attractive. Sea bathing is safe and pleasant. The borough authorities for many years have added to the attractions, and the southern part of the town, which is the more fashionable, contains an aquarium and concert hall; the museum, a Doric building; two theaters, and the assembly rooms attached to the Spa house. A handsome marine drive 4,200 feet long was opened in 1908. Aside from these attractions the chief buildings are the town hall, market hall, public hall, several modern churches, and a number of benevolent and philanthropic institutions. The South harbor is always full of fishing boats. Old and New. Hartlepool. Hartlepool, a borough of the County of Durham, embraces the municipal borough of East Hartlepool, population 25,000, and the municipal and county borough of West Hartlepool, population 65,000. East Hartlepool is the old part of the port, and lies on a peninsula which forms the protection for the bay. Formerly it was heavily fortified, and the ancient walls today are used as a promenade. Like Scarborough, it is dominated by its parish church of St. Hilda, an ancient building, with a heavy Norman tower standing on an eminence above the sea, forming a splendid mark for German shells. Its handsomest structure is a fine borough hall in the Italian style. West Hartlepool is entirely modern, and has many handsome buildings, including several beautiful churches, municipal buildings, an exchange, market hall, Atheneum, theaters, and Library. There are numerous hotels and an extensive system of docks. The twin boroughs are situated 40 miles northwest of Scarborough, and about two hundred and forty-seven miles from London, and are as noun- The CASTLE lar as tourist resorts as for their trade. Before the war they had a considerable traffic with the Baltic ports and Hamburg, Bremen and Rotterdam. The chief industries are shipbuilding, iron-founding and the construction of marine engines. A very large import trade in lumber was carried on. This is the first time hostile cannon have assaulted Hartlepool since the days of the civil wars. The nucleus of the town was a monastery built on the promontory in 640, destroyed by the Danes in 800, and rebuilt by Ecgred, bishop of Lindisfarne. During the twelfth and thirteenth centuries it was a bief of the Norman-Scottish family of Bruce, and up to the termination of the commonwealth the place was frequently captured or garrisoned by the Scots. "What can you pit against blood and iron?" "Rubber and gasoline," answered the other diplomat, with a bow. "A chauffeur's is a good job, isn't it?" "Well, they certainly manage to raise the dust." named. A squid forty feet long, capable of killing a whale, is enough for the imagination. The captain of a Dutch bark, the Hendrik Ido Ambacht, reported in 1858 that his ship was pursued and attacked for nine days by a monster ninety feet long and twenty-five to thirty feet broad, which pummeled her stern with such violence that the ship vibrated under its blows. At last, when a hundred musket balls and a narpoon had been lodged in its body, the creature fell behind. "Let me out of this building!" exclaimed the book agent. "What's your hurry?" inquired the elevator man. "Don't you try to get me into conversation. I used to think that sign, 'No Solicitors Allowed in This Building,' was a slight. But it's a blessing and a safeguard. I'm a good book agent, but I don't want to do any more business around here." "Haven't you sold anything?" "Not a volume—and I came pretty near buying 500 shares of mining stock." Modern War. A Narrow Escape --- Dr. Marden's Uplift Talks PICKING UP KNOWLEDGE BY THE WAY. I often receive letters from young people, complaining that it is impossible for them to attend school or college because they have to work, and therefore have no opportunity to acquire an education. Did you ever stop to think, my your complaining friends, that a great many of the most prominent men of today have been self-educated? I do not mean that they have worked their way through school or college, but that they have actually gained an education in its widest and best sense by their own efforts, with little or no actual schooling. Thomas A. Edison had only a few months' regular schooling for his parents were poor, and at twelve years of age he had to earn his own living. But he began reading "solid books" very early. When only ten he was absorbed in Gibbons" "Rome" and Hume's "England," and had already read the biographies of many great and noble men. Andrew Carnegie had only an elementary school education, but by reading and studying in his leisure moments he acquired the culture that has fruited in several books and many magazine articles on topics of worldwide interest, to say nothing of his business achievements. Prof. William J. McGee, who recently left the United States bureau of ethnology after remarkable geologic and ethnological achievements, was a blackmith in Iowa when he began to study geology, the higher mathematics and languages. He was chief of the department of ethnology at the Louisiana Purchase expedition. He is now editor of the National Geographical Magazine. You who complain that you have no opportunity to get an education, read the lives of men who have lifted themselves into place and power by self-education, biographies like that of Franklin, of Lincoln, of Vice-President Marshall, men who from the direct poverty, by sheer force of their own will power, have lifted themselves into the highest stations of life. Did it ever occur to you that you are right now in the greatest of all universities, the university of life, where you are meeting people every day from whom you can learn something valuable, no matter how humble they may be? If you are ambitious you can absorb knowledge every moment of your life; every piece of work you do, every human being you meet is a study for you. If the young people who long for knowledge and think they are deprived of it because of their unfortunate position as wage-carners could only realize what a marvelous opportunity is theirs to drink in wisdom at every breath, to absorb invaluable knowledge through their very pores. The results of all the schools, of all the colleges and universities of the past are spread out here before our eyes in the civilization that now is. There never was such a time for gaining an education as the present. To the busy worker our free public libraries, art galleries and museums, which are now opening their doors to evening visitors, offer splendid advantage for picking up knowledge. The greatest characters in history have been noted for their perpetual self-improvement habits; they were always absorbing knowledge, power, from their experiences and surroundings, treasuring up gems of thought, valuable deductions. It does not matter what your occupation may be, determine that every day, no matter how busy you may be, you will add a little something to your general improvement, you will absorb something that will make you a little larger, fuller, broader man or woman. Keep your eyes and ears and your mind open and you will be astonished at the number of useful things you will learn every day. If you want to improve yourself form the habit of carrying a pad or notebook and pencil and lot down things you would like to be able to remember. You will be surprised to see how much you will gain in this way in a single year. It is astonishing what the passion for self-improvement, the determination to get an education, will do for one in the course of a few years. MOST PEOPLE THEIR OWN WORST ENEMIES. This is John Wanamaker's recent advice to men: "Don't be blue. If I only thought of my mistakes I would be miserable all the time." Many a once prosperous man has gone down in financial ruin because he dwelt so much on his mistakes and gave way to discouragement and the blues. The so-called "hard times" which we have been passing through and which have distressed business men for many months were not so much due to the actual financial condition of the country as to the mental condition of the people. I have in mind a man who suffers Applying the Old Saw. Father—You talk altogether too much. You should cultivate the art of listening. Willie—But you told me the other day that listeners heard no good of themselves. Her Dream Comes True. Mrs. Golligly—What do you think, my dear? Such luck! We leave for Paris in an hour! Chapple—Really! Mrs. Golligly—Yes; we're going to so terribly from "blue" fits that his whole appearance is completely changed while under their influence. He does not look like the same man. He is absolutely unfitted to attend to business, and even his best friends try to avoid him. His whole appearance is that of utter despair, of intense mental suffering. You would think by his expression that he was bearing on his shoulders all the troubles of mankind. It is difficult to smile or feel serene in his presence. No matter how enthusiastic or joyful you may be, his icy expression and discouraging conversation, his doubts and pessimism, chill you. Every time I go near him I feel as though I were running out of the sunshine into a dungeon. Isn't it pathetic to see a strong, vigorous man, made to be a giant among the forces of the world, cowering, the abject slave of mental clouds which cast dark shadows over his life? Think of a man capable of leading hundreds or thousands of employees in a great enterprise—a man of achievement, born to do great things—the victim of the "blues," in the clutch of mental demons which he ought to be able to throttle in five minutes! Think of the life force wasted every time he talks of failure, of hard luck, of troubles and trials, of past errors and mistakes! There is no place in civilization for the morose, gloomy or despondent man. Nobody wants to live with him or do business with him. Everybody is dejected and depressed in his presence and tries to get away from him. When you look at it squarely it is a very foolish, almost criminal thing to go about this beautiful world, crowded with things to delight and cheer us, with splendid opportunities, showing a sad, dejected face, as though life had been a disappointment instead of a priceless boon. Just say to yourself, "I am a man and am going to do the work of a man. It's right up to me and I'm going to face the situation." No one is capable of correct judgment, of using good sense, when there is fear or doubt or despondency in his mind. Discouragement colors the judgment. People will do all sorts of foolish things under the pressure of fear. I have known men who own their own homes to sell property or do the most ridiculous things, in order to raise money, because they were afraid they would come to grief in their business if they did not have it, when, as a matter of fact, there was no real cause for anxiety whatever. When you are at your wits' end and do not know which way to turn, you are in danger, for you are in no condition to plan anything or to do the best thing. You should do your planning when you are cool and calm. Most people are their own worst enemies. We are all the time "queering" our life game by our vicious, bearing-down thoughts and unfortunate moods. Everything depends upon our courage, our faith in ourselves and others, and in our holding a hopeful, optimistic outlook. When you are low-spirited and feel the "blues" getting a grip upon you, just stop whatever you are doing and make a business of driving these enemies out of your mind, neutralizing them, killing them, by their opposite suggestions. You know perfectly well that a cheerful, beautiful thought, no matter how difficult it may be for you to hold it when you are suffering, will soon bring you relief. Assume the cheerful, hopeful virtue, if you have it not, and it will be soon yours. Among the Highbrows. A famous baseball man is a profile story teller, and oftentimes his yarns are the source of amusement to his friends. Here is one of his new ones: "A friend of mine, a metropolitan merchant, who had amassed quite a fortune by close application to his business, was being entertained one evening at a friend's house, where he encountered a number of young woman graduates, whose conversation suddenly turned to a discussion of the development of the English novel. "The merchant speedily experienced a feeling within which told him that he was 'out of it.' After a few minutes of animated colloquy, during a brief respite, one of the young women turned to him sweetly and asked: "What do you think of Fielding, Mr. Ellis?" "Oh, fielding is important, of course,' our friend quickly responded, 'but it isn't worth much unless you've got good pitchers and men who can hit the ball."—"Harper's Magazine."

Gardens in Palestine are found mainly in the environs of the larger towns and owe their existence to springs and fountains whose precious waters give life to the fruits and flowers, orchards, parks and pleasure grounds which enter into the oriental conception of Paradise.

They are always carefully inclosed and protected by hedges, walls and ditches, and the traveler is surprised amid the heat and glare of the Syrian sun to enter their pleasant pathways and find retired and shady nooks under embowering greenery.

LIKE WATCHING GREAT MOVING PICTURE DRAMA Count de Beaufort Describes Trip Along the Battie Line in West Flanders. HIGH PRAISE FOR BELGIANS Courteous and Hospitalized and Will Do Anything for the English—Comfort in the Trenches—Germans Really in Kind to Belajan By COUNT M. DE BEAUFORT. (International News Service) Belgium.—A Belgian officer returning with his men from a week in the trenches along the Yser was asked by one of his colleagues, whom he met on the road from Nieuport to Furnes, how things were going in front. "Oh," he replied, "all right, but it isn't exactly a plicic, you know." That is exactly the answer I felt like giving today when I returned from a few days' gypsying in West Flanders. It is difficult to know where to start in relating my impressions. It seems as if for four days I have sat in a huge moving picture theater and watched one film after another being reeled off, at the same time listening to an extremely eloquent lecturer. How and why I was able to wander from village to trench, and from trench to village, or whatever is left of them, is a story which, perhaps, with many others, will be told later—after the war. They are a courteous, open-hearted, hospitable lot, these Belgians, and anybody who seems to be English, either in appearance or accent, can have anything they own "Ah, England," I hear from all sides "why they have certainly stood by us Les Anglais sons, chic" "chic" in this sense of the word refers to character not to appearance). The most interesting place in the line along the Yser these days has been the village of Stuyvekenskerke. It lies on the left bank of the Yser. The main road from Dixmude to Pervyse runs about half a mile to the west of it, and the railroad about another half mile farther. Both lines are held by the Belgians. On Tuesday morning some of our advanced patrols ventured close to the village, and not seeing any life there, went in. The Germans had retired to the other side of the river. Promptly the village was "retaken" by the Belgians. But of what use is a practically razed village anyhow? It would have taken a great number of extra men to guard it at night against surprise attacks, so the officer in charge retired at sunset into his own lines along the railroad. Enjoy Temporary Armistice On Wednesday morning the Germans were occupying the village agaun for the day, but this afternoon the Belgians might have had their tea there but for the sudden interruption of business of the only patisserie. The English sign, "Tea served at all hours," was still intact. We took it down, and now it is being the entrance to one of the sleeping trenches a mile back. At certain points around this village the advance lines are not further than 1,200 feet from each other, and I have seen soldiers on both sides walk about unconcerned without a shot being fired on either side. But in the distance, one hears from time to time the roar of the guns. My wanderings landed me near a lonely Belgian field gun, one of the "75's," in the neighborhood of Pervyse. I knew the officer in charge, and was promptly invited to stay, and take pot luck, an invitation which needless to say, I accepted. Somehow one seems to be always hungry, yet one eats more and oftener than at any other time. His underground dwelling had been made quite habitable. He insisted that I should take the "fauteuil" in the shape of the only soapon present, while he balanced himself on a one-legged plano stool. Our meat was simple enough, but plentiful. Dry biscuits, sardines, apples and cold coffee. Fires of any sort, either inside or outside, are strictly forbidden in the lines. A smoking chimney is asking for shrapnel. Quite an amusing incident took place here. The lieutenant told me during luncheon that every time he fired a shot, the Germans answered him in kind; if he sent a shrapnel, they promptly sent a shrapnel back; when he fired a shell, a shell whistled back. After luncheon he illustrated his story, and indeed the Germans seemed to be in a joking mood. He fired a shrapnel and a shell in turn; a few minutes later a shrapnel and a shell whistled back over our heads. I asked for the commandant, and expected to find him also in one of the underground dwellings, but I was directed to one of the houses on the outskirts of the village. "His, offices there?" I asked, looking at the remains of what had been a little villa. "Certainly, monsieur. Follow me," said the little soldier. Ruins Everywhere. On all sides we were surrounded by blackened bricks and burnt wood, fallen walls, and broken furniture. Finally, we arrived near a cellar door and the mystery was soon solved. The commandant met me with all the cere- CALLS FOR WAR ON THE WAR Carl Liebknecht, German Socialist, Sends Plea to British Sym- pathizers.

"I am sorry," he said in excellent English, "to have to receive you in this improvised flat, but 'c'est la guerre.'" LOCATE BULLET BY PHONE London Surgeons Have New Method of Discovering Presence of Foreign Body. And the cellar offered certainly a curious picture. Fourteen soldiers sat around a makeshift table, at the head of which—on a barrel—our officer had presided. We had evidently interrupted a meal. An iron bedstead, with planks and a few bunches of straw, took up one corner; a tier of knapsacks and some more straw, lined the opposite wall. An old-fashioned gramophone rescued from the ruins, formed a conspicuous piece of furniture, but the records had been smashed. Still, one gets inventive when time is long and tedious—and it has been very slow around here these last days—so some of the records were pasted together on a piece of cardboard, and with the assistance of a helping finger, bridging over the gaps and rents, the old machine managed to give "Carmen," the La Boheme, and some popular French airs. The first opportunity I have I shall send them much-needed records and needles, so that in future the inhabitants may have some decent music with their meals. The food consisted of cold beef, brown bread and water, the color of which did not look appetizing at all. One of the soldiers noticed me glancing - the water bottle, and he remarked, especially for the benefit of the younger men, "Oh, it's all right, this 'Eau de l'Yser,' there may be a dead German or two in it, but that adds a sting to it, as they say in the States." The cellar was lit by an improvised little torch in a bottle, and the men around the table with their two weeks' growth of 'eard looked like pirates. HE IS A WAR HERO AT 13 Marcel Vernier is the Youngest Noncommissioned Officer in the French Army. Paris.—The youngest noncommissioned officer in the French army is Marcel Vernier, who is thirteen years and seven months old. He followed the artillery as a kitchen helper at the opening of the war and learned to ride a horse and was quickly promoted to be a corporal. He has been named adjutant sergeant major and his name has been proposed for the military medal for valor in action. He was recently wounded and was brought to a Paris hospital. Vernier is an orphan and is one of a large 'family of young brothers and sisters. MODERN DISPATCH BEARERS INTERNATIONAL Motor SERVICE A Belgian aviator handling a dispatch to a motorcycle messenger.

London Surgeons Have New Method of Discovering Presence of Foreign Body. London. — One of the romantic touches in modern surgery which the exigencies of the present war have introduced is a method of detecting bullets and fragments of shell in the human body by means of a telephone. This method is employed in special cases in one of the large London hospitals. To a telephone receiver two short lengths of wire are attached. One of these ends in a small piece of platinum; this is placed upon any part of the patient's skin which has been moistened with salt water. The other end of the wire terminates in a thread of antiseptic silver, and this is bound around the surgeon's probe or lancet or other instrument. The surgeon then places the receiver to his ear and makes the incision. The instant the instrument touches the bullet a very distinct rattle is heard, quite different from the faint murmur audible as the instrument merely cuts through the flesh, and in this way when X-rays fall, as they sometimes do, the foreign substance is located.

KAISER TO EAT WAR BREAD Orders Food Made Partly of Potato Flour Served to Himself and Staff. Berlin.—Emperor William has given orders that the so-called war bread be served to himself and the members of his entourage. This bread, styled also "K" bread, consists of 85 per cent rye flour and 15 per cent potato flakes. It is being consumed in accordance with a war time proclamation with the idea of making the supply of foodstuff in the empire last longer. Up to the present time it has not been bought readily by the general public. It is hoped, however, that the decision of the emperor to eat this bread himself will influence the people to follow his example. The newspapers are giving much attention to the course of the emperor in this connection. HE WON'T FIT ANY TRENCH Canada's Tallest Soldier, Six Feet Eight Inches, Hails From New York.

Improvements in the Popular Tit-Bit Known as the "Club" Have Been Made—Oysters Used in Place of Chicken. Tea rooms in the big city shopping districts are serving some new varieties of the always popular club sandwich. While the principal ingredients remain the same each style of club sandwich differs from its fellows in some detail which makes it distinctive. What is known as a French club sandwich is served with a toasted English muffin substituted for the usual slices of toasted bread. It is set down before one garnished with a few sprays of parsley pressed deep into the yielding surface of the half muffin which tops the substantial filling of chicken, bacon, mayonnaise, lettuce and sliced tomato. Watercress is used in similar fashion, the spray of green in either case being embedded in the toasted muffin so firmly that it seems to be a little flower holder. Two halves of crumpt are used for a similar sandwich and filled with the same combination, making a sandwich still more hearty. Where toasted bread is used variety is given to the club sandwich by reason of some other meat or fish being substituted for the usual foundation layer of breast of chicken. Thinly sliced duck is delicious with the bacon and other ingredients, and turkey is also another good substitute. Strips of rare beef, either cold or freshly cut from a hot roast and moistened with horseradish may also be used, and strips of rare steak are equally appropriate. An oyster club sandwich has for its distinctive feature two or three large fried oysters. These are laid on the under slice of toast, sprinkled with lemon juice and then topped with two strips of bacon, two lettuce leaves, a spoonful of mayonnaise and then the second slice of toast. For those who do not care for fried oysters the oyster club sandwich comes in still a different form, the oysters being poached in their own liquor until the gills curl, when they are drained of moisture and used for the foundation of the sandwich. If preferred oyster club sandwiches may be served with Russian dressing instead of mayonnaise, as the addition of the tomato flavor in the chill sauce is particularly agreeable with oysters, either fried or poached. Sardine club sandwich is made of large boned sardines sprinkled with lemon juice and arranged as usual and finely cut lobster, either hot or cold, offers still another variety. The egg club sandwich is usually served with a basis of an egg fried on both sides, and seasoned well with salt, pepper and paprika before the other materials for the sandwich are added. Hard-bolled eggs, sliced or chopped, result in a sandwich less rich. In both cases the eggs should be served hot. Economy Helps. In most households greater economy of time and energy can be practiced by cooking larger amounts of food at one time, and this means a saving in the fuel bills as well. Enough mayonnaise dressing for all the salads you will make in a week can be made on one day. It is just as easy to cook a kettleful of potatoes that will last two days as it is to prepare only enough for the midday meal. There is hardly a vegetable one can think of that cannot be cooked in large quantities to advantage and that will not lend itself readily to warming in a variety of ways. And on those days when the oven is being used for baked dishes in which the vegetables play an important part, double portions of puddings should be baked. What is not required that day can be served a few days later, steamed over the vegetable pot, and it will be just as appetizing, if not more so, as if freshly made. Fig and Nut Jelly. Wash a cupful of pulled figs in cold water. Put over a slow fire with two cupfuls of cold water and stew figs until tender. Skim out figs and to the juice add one-half cupful of sugar and boil until it is like thin sirup (there should be one cupful of liquid). Chop figs and one-quarter cupful of shelled pecans not very fine. Soak one-half box of gelatin in one cupful of cold water for half an hour. To the gelatin add one-half teaspoonful of lemon juice and to the fig sirup add one-half cupful of boiling water. Strain through fine sieve of cheesecloth. When nearly set add nuts and figs. Turn into molds and set in cool place for three hours. Serve with whipped cream. Scotch Broth Without Meat Soak four ounces barley in one quart cold water over night; next morning drain, put into a soup kettle with one onion, one turnip and one carrot, cut into slices; add a few green tops of celery if obtainable and four tablespoonfuls of oatmeal; cover with two quarts boiling water and simmer gently a half hour, then add salt and pepper; strain and serve. Fruit Cream. Cook the juice of three lemons and three oranges with two cupfuls of sugar, set aside to cool. Soften two tablespoonfuls of gelatin with milk, then heat over hot water until dissolved. Whip two cupfuls of cream, add the fruit juice and gelatin, stir until well blended, then pile high in a deep dish or mold if preferred. Steamed Dried Beef. Here is an unusual recipe, but a very good one. Prepare a spiced vinegar as for fruit pickles, only less highly seasoned. Cut very, very thin slices of dried beef in narrow strips, diamond or any fancy shape, and cut with scissors. Steam the beef in the vinegar for one hour. Serve hot with toasted wafers. HOME TOWN HELPS STREETS OF MANY LEVELS Time May Come When Multiple Roadways Will Be Matter of Necessity. Fifty years ago the notion of a 20-story building would have seemed extravagant. Now it is commonplace. We have with us some prophets who talk about the city of the future as a place of many stories. We have now but one level of streets. They foretell many levels, the Portland Oregonian states. Perhaps there will be a plane of streets for every floor in the big buildings. The streets will be laid on concrete arches and lighted by electricity. Keeping them clean will not be much of a task because no horses will be permitted upon them, nothing but gasoline trucks. The horse, amiable and useful creature that he is, must be blamed as the great defiler of the streets. When he has taken his final farewell of the world, dirt and flies will vanish too. The need of some such modification in municipal architecture has become apparent. In a few years it will be pressing. Few single streets are wide enough to accommodate the population of the big buildings which border them in the busy quarters of our cities. There is always congestion, turmoll and delay when the cave dwellers pour out in a body. In case of a great fire there would be terrible panic and destruction of life. Besides all that, there is great loss of time in continually going from the top to the bottom of high buildings. The elevator service is usually exemplary, but it cannot work miracles. With streets connecting all the tenth stories of the same city with one another the dwellers at that altitude would constitute an independent community. There would be another set of streets at the fifteenth story and still others higher up and lower down. Business would naturally tend to segregate its departments on different levels and an endless saving of time and toil would ensue. SAVE THE COST OF SPRAYING Martins and Bluebirds Should Have Houses Provided for Them Near the Orchard. The American Bird House Journal says that farmers and orchardists can avoid the cost of spraying fruit trees by providing the purple martins with a residence in or near the orchard and encouraging these intelligent birds to keep down the insect pests. The paper produces evidence to show that the martins protected a certain orchard to such an extent that great crops of fruit were raised without any spraying at all. It may be too much to assume that the birds will take care of all tree pests; the San Jose scale, for instance, must be beyond the reach of any bird. But there is no doubt about the activity and the value of martins and bluebirds in fighting insect pests, nor any doubt at all of the readiness of these birds to occupy and take advantage of the nice little houses provided for them, provided the English sparrows are kept at their distance. Best Not to Copy Too Closely "After the general change of the political situation in the middle ages that took away the city-planning activities from the princes, and either annihilated or put them in the hands of the citizens, those citizens in very many cases turned out to be very ordinary, short-sighted, and uneducated bourgeois." Therefore, continues Dr. Werner Hegemann, German expert, it behooves city planners of today to take too seriously the work of city planners of yesterday. Beauty is all very well, but there are other things to be considered. A Wide Range. A young woman with an aspiration to shine in the chorus applied to Andrea Dippel, who has managed opera singers all his life, for a position in his company. "To sing in a chorus of mine," said Mr. Dippel, "you must have a good voice." "Oh, but I have one," replied the girl. Mr. Dippel led her to the piano and asked her to demonstrate her vocal powers. Sitting at the instrument and then swinging around, she smiled sweetly and asked: "Shall I sing The Chairs in the Parlor Miss Miss You, or something light?" American Surgeons in the War The satisfactory work done at American hospitals in two German cities has induced the German government to ask for more American surgeons of whose skill their German fellow surgeons "speak in terms of the highest appreciation." That is praise from a high source, and it is matched by the recognition given the work of American surgeons in French hospitals. Refugees Prove Relativeness Belgian refugees, a boy and girl, were adopted by a man and his wife of Abercyon, Wales.
