The day dawned gloomy and unforsbidding and it seemed that rain was inevitable, but thanks to the prayers of the faithful members of the organization and the gracious providence of God, before the hour of assembling clouds broke away, a delightful breeze sprang up and the procession began to form amidst the most joyous enthusiasm. The brethren began assembling at their hall at 1 o'clock and in a short while both large halls were crowded until it became necessary 'o open the offices of the Grand Master on the first floor. They were quickly filled by the 133 members of Mt. Oread No. 76. While the two crack bands of the West, the Masonic band of 28 pieces, under Prof. Blackburn, a 32d degree Mason, and the second regiment K. of P. band, 30 pieces, under Prof. Cooper, were pouring forth inspiring music to the enjoyment of immense crowds that had assembled to witness the demonstration. Promptly at 2 o'clock Grand Marshal E. S. Miller and his assist, Sir T. B. Carter, under the direction of District Deputy Eugene Lacey, formed the parade. First came Metropolitan police officers W. G. Melford, John Bailey, John W. Hughes, J. W. Williams and Oscar Hardin, all Master Masons. Next the Second regiment K. of P. band with their imposing drum major and the Knights Templars 110 strong, acting as escort to the blue lodges and their Rt. Eminent Grand Commander Sir W. G. Moseley. Next the 33d degree Masons under command of illustrious E. S. Baker, then the Royal Arch chapters under Deputy Grand High Priest Wm. H. Dawley, Jr. Then the famous Masonic band under the leadership of Sir Knight D. E. Blackburn, followed by the eleven blue lodges according to their seniority, Mt. Oreal No. 76, W. C. Hueston, master, to which the band belonged, being first; then came Ideal No. 70, under H. Walden, W. M.; R. T. Coles No. 86, W. H. Johnson, W. M.; Amos Johnson No. 149, Geo. Thomas, W. M.; Green Pasture No. 128, Thos. Flood, W. M.; John Turner No. 106, Wm. H. Brown, W. M.; Graham No. 85, Frank L. Martin, W. M.; M. Olive No. 53, Sandy Meyer, W. M.; Pritchard No. 2, Cecil Thompson, W. M.; Westport No. 46, A. R. Russel, W. M.; and lastly mother of them all, Rone No. 25, J. C. Granger, W. M. Following the blue lodges came Western Hope No. 14 of Independence, Mo., T. T. Wilson, W. M.; then Liberty lodge No. 37, of Liberty, Mo., J. A. Gay, W. M., after which came the district deputies supported by stewards with white rods, then the various Grand Lodge officers who are in the city, then Past Grand Master R. T. Coles, supported by two stewards with rods, then the Grand Chaplain, the Grand Marshal, then Brother Benjamin Frye, with the book of constitutions, and Most Worshipful Grand Master Nelson C. Crews of the Missouri jurisdiction, and Grand Master E. J. Hawkins of the Kansas jurisdiction, supported by Grand Lodge stewards with Brother Wesley Bell, rear guard. In splendid order this imposing procession moved north on Woodland from the hall to 14th street, to Vine, NELSON, MO. St. John's day was fittingly celebrated by the Masonic family of this little city Sunday, June 27, and an able sermon was preached by the Rev. A. W. Williams of Warrenburg, Mo. Worshipful Master L. J. Barnes is very happy over the success of the affair and the large number in attendance. DOUGLASS. ARIZ Joppa Military lodge No. 150 of the Missouri jurisdiction celebrated St. John's day last Thursday night with a most impressive program. Illustrious George W. Prioleau, chaplain, 32d degree, and District Deputy Grand Master, was master of ceremonies. After the program a magnificent ban- The Kansas City Sun to 11th, to Charlotte, to the church, where the ladies of the Court, the Eastern Star, the Golden Circle and the Daughters of Isis were awaiting them. After the blue lodge chapters and other branches had passed in the Knights Templars formed an arch of steel and Deputy Grand Master Lacey and his marshals escorted the ladies of the various organizations under the arch into the church to the inspiring music of the combined bands. The church was crowded to its utmost capacity and after all had been seated the following program was splendidly rendered: Arriving at the church the following program will be rendered: Introducing Master of Ceremonies—E. G. Lacey, D. D. G. M. Master of Ceremonies—Nelson C. Crews, M. W. Grand Master of Masons. Invocation—Rev. J. W. Hurse, D. D. Music—Choir. Reading of the Grand Master's Proclamation—George W. K.

The impressive prayer by Dr. Hurse, the beautiful singing of Mrs. Lewis and that matchless song bird, Miss Margaret Jackson, who evoked the most tremendous applause, and the magnificent and impressive sermon of Rev. Wm. H. Thomas, D. D., coupled with the splendid papers and addresses delivered as well as the excellent music of the Second Baptist church choir under the capable leadership of Mrs. S. W. Bacote, made an occasion that will live in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to be present. In addition to the regular program a brief but eloquent and congratulatory address was delivered by Prof. E. J. Hawkins, Grand Master of Kansas, also an address by Mrs. Williams, Most Ancient Grand Matron of the H. of J. of Kansas. At the conclusion of the program the parade was again formed and with bands playing, plumes and banners waving and the men marching with a military precision that is seldom witnessed in fraternal organizations, traversed the principal business streets of the city where their splendid appearance evoked much spontaneous applause from the white citizens who crowded the sidewalks and returned to their asylum tired but happy and fully satisfied that they had not only established the numerical supremacy of Masonry in this hustling city, but had made history for the race. Much credit it is due Deputy E. G. Lacey for the success of this affair, and there were more than 600 men in line. quet was served and a souvenir program and congratulations were wired to Grand Master Nelson C. Crews of Kansas City.

McCLAIN, Pastor. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1915. Y. M. C. A. NOTES Tennis is becoming very popular with the younger boys of the boys' department. The interest the boys have shown in the game points to more stars at tennis in the near future. The management is expecting a busy day at the building July 5. One night this week fourteen transients were registered in the building, showing the heavy travel through Kansas City. The "Ham Fat Wonders" practiced volley ball against Dr. H. C. White's "Bone Heads" this week, and received a very good work out. However, "Doc" promises a shake up in his team and some interesting contests will be staged next week. At the dinner in the cafeteria of the Methodist ministers and their wives 20 were present. Aside from the local ministers of the A. M. E., M. E., C. M. E. churches, there were two presiding elders of the A. M. E. and one of the C. M. E. church. After the dinner a business session was held. Having had such excellent meetings in June, the religious work committee has decided to continue the men's Sunday afternoon meetings through July. Next Sunday, July 4. Rev. Wells of the Bethel A. M. E. church will address the men at 3:30 o'clock. Subject, "Imperial Highway." Sunday, July 11, Rev. J. M. Green will speak.

If you want a week of fun, and for wit and jest is what you are looking for, if side splitting, rip roaring laughter is desired, patronize the Criterion theater Shriners' week, which begins Monday, July 12, and ends July 19. Not that the fun begins at the Criterion or ends upon these particular dates, but that the talented owner and manager, W. H. King, promises to have it more abundantly and distributed accordingly upon these five particular nights. It will be Shriners' week and Allah Temple No. 6, under the guiding genius of Noble Billy King, will be in evidence with fez and camel and hot burning sands and other mery making stunts too numerous to mention. If you miss it half of life is gone. There will be two shows each night. ST. LOUIS, MO. Masons Celebrate The 14 Masonic lodges of this city, with four commanderies as an escort, paraded the principal streets of the city to St. Paul's A. M. E. church, where splendid services were held in honor of St. John's day. Sir Knight I. H. Bradbury, 32d degree, was master of ceremonies, and a program of much merit was rendered under his direction. The ladies of the Eastern Star and the Heromes of Jericho were out in full force, and it made on of the most pleasing spectacles ever witnessed in this city. Under the leadership of District Deputy James L. Henderson more than 100 new Masons have been initiated this year. 1 The Lincoln High school alum- ni Association will hold its last meeting before the testimonial Wednesday, July 7, at the Y. M. C.

KKS AND REFRESHMENTS [Name not visible in the image] ST. JOSEPH, MO. Annual Sermon of Masonic Bodies of St. Joseph June 27 at Ebenzer Chapel, A. M. E. Church. The festival of St. John the Baptist, one of the patron saints of Free Masonry, was celebrated Sunday at the A. M. E. church by the three Masonic lodges—Wilkerson No. 26, Queen City No. 41 and Pioneer No. 109, and the ladies' auxiliaries, composed of St. James Court, H. of J. Foster Golden gate and Boxley chapters, and Daughters of Isis. This very unusual and beautiful celebration was in response to a request given by the Hon Nelson C. Crews, Grand Master of Missouri and its jurisdiction, and carried to successful consummation through the energetic efforts, skillful endeavors and master mind of that prince of connoisseurs of St. Joseph's oldest and best business men, Prof Harry Robinson. Without him and his able corps of workers the hitherto divided hosts could not have been marshaled under the glittering standard or stepped so gaily to the strains of music which caused all hearts to beat as one, and all hearts seemed to be extended in friendly greeting to the multitude that assembled to view the white wings of the dove of peace which hovered over the sacred edifice for a long stay. Truly the sight was glorious. The decorated church, resplendent in palms and exotics, the heavenly music rendered by choir and violinists, the sweet peal of the organ, the many beautiful uniforms, the ladies in front like flowers, while behind sat the brave knights, the haughty fez topped Shriners, the gallant plumed Sir Knights and the grand old blue lodge in lamb skin and snowy gloves made a beautiful picture. Truly Grand Master Crews and Sir Harry Robinson, premier of the royal hosts, deserve the salutation of the entire state of Missouri. The sermon, by the Rev. N. C. Buren, was a masterpiece replete in Masonic lore and filled with wisdom, supplemented here and there with wit which captivated the brethren. Dr. J. R. A. Crossland, district deputy Grand Master, and Past Grand Master Dr. M. O. Rickettes were both at their best. Miss Lena Moseley, Mrs Pansy Saunders and Dr. John R Crossland rendered solos which pleased the audience so much that encores would have been indulged in but for the sanctity of the day. Prof. Wm. H. Jones, chairman of and decorating committee, was ably assisted by Past Eminent Grand Commander A. D. Butler, Thos. Coleman, Dr. W. S. Carrion, Moses Laurie and ladies Ella Henson, Beatrice Cleveland and Mable Hurts, Prof. Wm. H. Jones, who for five years piloted the waves of the Masonic order and so efficiently and unintently financed the organization so that every penny was accurately and honestly reported and accounted for, practically and intellectually introduced the master of ceremonies, and the latter responded fittingly by saying: "Missouri has within its geographical boundaries one of the leading Masonic Grand Lodges of the race, and it is a source of great pride to me to reflect that the city of St. Joseph has contributed so much to that greatness by giving to that work the brain and energy of such distinguished Masons as P. G. Master M. O. Rickettes, J. M. Trent, B. F. Graves, A. D. Butter, Jas. Gordon, J. R. A. Crossland, D. D. G. M. J. M. Green, Dr. W. S. Carrion, Dr. I. F. Ramsey, L. Bradford, M. Laurie, J. Carpenter, J. W. Walker, J. B. Jones, G. E. Sims and others too numerous to mention. We can not pass over in silence the name of one Mason who in the point of long years of service in Masonry stands out pre-eminently and today the safest adviser, Prof. W. H. Jones, principal of our high school. In 1887 to 1901, which makes a period of 14 years, he served as Grand Treasurer, handling more than $40,000, every cent of which was counted and returned as received. His Masonic zeal and devotion to Masonry is as firm today as ever. For this Mason I accept this selection of myself as master of ceremonies as a distinguished honor" On reaching the musical selection, "Just as I Am," sung by Miss Lena Mosely, Prof. Robinson, master of ceremonies, spoke as follows in introducing the talented young lady: "Back of every successful structure there has been that wisdom which contrives, strength which supports and beauty which adorns. This is as true of race building as of any other building. It requires great skill and ingenuity to construct a beautiful and substantial building but the most unskilled of men may wreck any building. Destroying that which has already been created is not nearly so beneficial as it is easy. As a race we must become creators of the beautiful and useful, both materially and artistically. History shows us that the races which go fartherest along the highway of civilization are the ones which discover in the youth of that race its special aptitude and then proceeds to encourage its development. "Arthur Pryor, one of the world's leading band masters, is a St. Joseph boy, and we know the pride with which the people of this city have watched his growth and development. The white people of this community have demonstrated that pride by rendering him every possible moral and financial support, and today it is difficult to find an auditorium which will hold the people who want to attend his concerts. "We have long imitated the bad qualities of our white neighbors, and the time has come for us to begin to imitate some of the good qualities which may be found in it. I esteem it a great honor to have the privilege of presenting to this audience a young lady who is destined to become one of the great artists of the race. By birth, instinct and training she belongs to St. Joseph today. On account of a naturally sweet voice, rounded out by hard work, which has demanded constant and faithful application on her part, she will belong to the world tomorrow. Miss Mosely—our Lena—has been secured out of our civic pride for this occasion and will now sing for you a solo entitled 'Just as I Am.'" Past Grand Master M. O. Rickett, M. D. is too well known in Masonic circles to need any introduction to your many readers. He delivered an address upon the subject "Speculative Masonry," and we have no hesitancy in saying that he was never in happier vein and he charmed the large audience not only by his eloquence but by his profound knowledge of his subject. Dr. Rickett was for many years the chairman of the committee on foreign correspondence of the Grand Lodge of Missouri, and it has been often said and truly said, that his reviews of sister Grand Lodges did more to make for our Grand Lodge its present enviable position in the sisterhood of Grand Lodges than any other one influence. It is generally conceded that Prof Harry Robinson has in the success which attended his efforts, in working up this celebration of St. John's day, accomplished the thing which has been thought to be impossible. He harmonized the order in this city as to have representatives from every lodge and every branch of Masonry working together for the success of (Continued on Page 4.)

EVENT COMMEMORATING SEVEN- TY-FIVE YEARS OF AFRICAN METHODISM WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. TO BE CELEBRATED IN BEFIT- TING STYLE BY THE HOSTS OF METHODISTS IN ST. LOUIS, MO. BEGINNING THE WEEK OF JULY '5 AND CONTINUING UNTIL THE 9TH. Thousands Are Expected to Participate Under the Invincible Leadership of Bishop H. E. Parks, Presiding Bishop of the Fifth Episcopal District, and Many of the Most Brilliant and Profound Scholars of the Church and Race Will Deliver Addresses. MANY KANASAS CITYANS WILL GO Seventy-five years! Two generations of men have come and passed into the silent vista of yesterday. Those of the second that remain, with the mighty host of the third that has entered Zion's gates, will meet in St. Louis, July 4, 1975, to celebrate the triumphs of the seventy-five years of our religious existence west of the Father of Waters. Our sons and daughters from the shores of the Pacific, from the International line of British America, from the arid wastes of Arizona and New Mexico, from beneath the shadow of the stately and framing Rockies, will come back to our Mecca of Western Methodism back to the shrine of the mother of this Western Religious Empire, beautiful in her robes of righteousness, we gather July 4, to bow at her sacred altars and sing together, the praise of God. Back to the altars of St. Paul, the Queen of our empire! What honors shall we bring in memory of the illustrious fathers of the past? We believe that every loyal son and daughter of African Methodism in all this vast territory—these twenty-five thousand children of Father Quinn, will each make an offering according to their ability. We are trying to raise means to carry on our Mission work in this territory and ask all who can possibly do so, give us One Dollar. If you cannot give One Dollar give Fifty cents; give twenty-five, give ten cents, give five, give as God has prospered you in life. Those who give fifty cents or more will have their names printed in the records of the celebration. PATRIOTIC CELEBRATION. At Lincoln's amusement park on July 5 at 1:30 p. m., one hour will be devoted to public speaking of a patriotic nature and to national songs with the assistance of the band. A part of the Declaration of Independence will be read. A thousand school children will give the thrilling flag salute and sing national anthems. Some of our most distinguished speakers have been invited to appear. Among them Hon. N. C. Crews, Revs. W. H. Peck, W. H. Thomas, J. W. Hurse, J. M. Booker, R. Davis, W. C. Williams; Lawyers Houston, Knox and Calloway; Profs. King, Talton, Cook, Foster, Stewart and A. G. Page, under the auspices of Daughters of American Revolution. MRS. GILMER MERIWETHER. President. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS --- What the Afro-American has thus far accomplished is only a promise—an expectation; the realization belongs to the future. A school must and will be established, perhaps in Washington, D. C.; to head this school, an eminent European composer and teacher secured (preferably a Russian), who, unhindered by prejudice, will understand, appreciate and foster the peculiar musical genius of the Afro-American child. While giving the child the same grasp upon the science of composition as was Beethoven's, he will also show that strength of character and profound knowledge of his people, as well as technical skill, which made Beethoven the master. Individuality—and then, more individuality. Such a school will require money. It will not be forthcoming if as soon as a few Negroes have learned the principles of breathing, or being able to play the scale of G one or two octaves without serious offense to tonality, they are at once exploited in some temple of music where, maybe, the Boston Symphony orchestra had just finished a concert, perfect in every detail. The Negro composer (there are a few in the United States who are receiving serious consideration) should mainly find his inspiration in the impishable melodies of his enslaved ancestors. When he shall have developed works worthy of rendition, he will find both Negroes and whites ready and willing to offer them. All through the South, Southwest and West there are Negroes with beautiful voices. What is more, because of the home life of these people, they are gaining real culture. They are laying aside their shame of the past and are beginning to glory in their unmatched heritage of folk lore and folk songs. The Afro-American Folk Song Singers, Washington, D.C., the chorus of Howard university, Fisk university, and others, are ready to do justice to the choral works of a Negro Beethoven, should he appear. To them we look for results; by them would we be judged. New York and other large cities of the North are neither seeking nor finding the right way—Will Marion Cook. --- Hannibal Beatty died the other day at Yorkville, S. C. He was born a slave and never rose above the station of a humble worker, yet the whole city joined in paying tribute to his memory. He was sexton of one of the churches of the white folks for 48 years—the church of the "quality" and for 41 years he also was the jankor of the courthouse. By the compelling power of a long life of faithful honest service he won the respect of everybody. If ever he gave offense to white or black the circumstance is not of record, says the Yorkville Enquirer, one of the best newspapers of the South. Courteous, faithful, kindly and obliging he exemplified in his character the best qualities of his race. When he came to die he had one request to make. That was that he should be buried from the church of which he had been the sexton so long. The services were conducted by the white pastor with the Negro clergyman of the Methodist church, of which Hannibal was a member, assisting. The church was crowded with whites and blacks in about equal numbers. There were many floral offerings from both whites and blacks. Most remarkable of all the tributes was that bench and bar, city and coun A baking rpoon and bowl have wrought magic in black hands for many generations. That the secret of their wonder working may not be lost, and that the young Negro women of Kansas City may learn to render good service as cooks and housemaids, Mrs. V. T. Williams, 1325 Jackson avenue, gives her time and her home. For six years Mrs. Williams, herself a famous cook and for years a schoolteacher, has taught the Domestic Science Training circle without compensation, her only reward being the growing efficiency of the members, nearly all of them employed in South side homes. Although the class meets only on Thursday afternoons, lessons are given every day. Whatever a member of the circle needs, that she is taught. In no case are the lessons measured by the ability of the pupil to pay. Each girl joining the class pays one dollar "if she happens to have one," for a year's membership. This is not enough to pay for the materials used in the class work. But it helps, and the circle is growing so rapidly that the Council of Women's Clubs has Miss Kathleen Dunsmuir of Vancouver. British Columbia, twenty years old, daughter of James Dunsmuir, former lieutenant-governor of British Columbia and millionaire mine owner, has sailed for France to offer her services to the Red Cross as an ambulance motor driver. In 1880 there were a few more than 1,000 inns for the accommodation of travelers in Switzerland, but since then the number has probably trebled. British Parliament Elderly. The British parliament is now composed of more elderly men than at any session in living memory. About two hundred members of the commons are with the forces either in the kingdom or abroad, and nearly one hundred and fifty peers keep them company. These 350 of the empire's lawmakers are naturally able-bodied men, and most of them can be counted as young. The elder members have done their part in giving their sons. Prefer Asquith has three sons serving ty officials and officers of the church acted as the pallbearers. They included L. R. Williams, probate judge; W. W. Lewis, J. S. Brice, Thomas F. McDow, J. R. Hart, J. A. Marlon, members of the bar; H. I. L. McCaw, court stenographer; J. L. Moss and George W. Williams, deacons of the Associated Reformed Presbyterian church; H. G. Brown, sheriff; F. E. Quin, deputy sheriff; B. M. Love, auditor; H. E. Nell, treasurer; John E. Carroll, superintendent of education; J. A. Tate, clerk of the court, and Thomas W. Boyd, supervisor. Yorkville honored itself in honoring Hannibal Beatty. He played well his modest part and man can do no more. He was a credit to his race in his living and in the tribute paid to him in his death here is abiding proof of the affection in which the Southerner holds the worthy and faithful black—Richard Spillane in Commerce and Finance. --- In the canning plant at Prairie View, Tex., says the Houston Post, a plant by the way which cost $150 complete, sufficient vegetables are canned to last the students at the dormitory the year around. Last year 10,000 cans of vegetables and fruits were put in this plant and this year the agricultural department will can fully 15,000 cans. In the college garden of 15 acres there are 25 varieties of vegetables grown. Of these beans, beets, tomatoes and a few other such vegetables are canned and are served to the students during the winter months when fresh stuff is not available. Incidentally this greatly reduces the cost of living. Beef is slaughtered by the students under the general direction of members of the teaching staff. There are 1,400 acres of land in the site owned by Prairie view. OF that number 350 acres are in cultivation, 90 acres being planted to corn, 25 to black-eyed peas, 20 to sweet potatoes, 25 to watermelons, 25 to sorghum for making sirup and the others to various other crops. Twenty acres are planted to broom corn for use in the manufacture of brooms, and ten to cotton for the use of the mattress making school. In the sewing department all kinds of dresses, children's wearing apparel, hats and fancy work were shown. These patterns were made by the students in the domestic arts department. Graduating dresses also were made by these girls. The sewing department this year has made 684 complete uniforms for the girls, these uniforms consisting of blue serge skirts for wear in the home, on the farm, and men's overalls and jumpers, skirts and undergarments also were made by these girls, who are enrolled in the domestic arts courses. Food principles, properly balanced rations, chemistry of cooking, the economical management of the kitchen, including cost estimates for each meal, are a few of the things that are stressed in the domestic science course of Prairie View. A neatly furnished dining room where the girls are taught to properly serve meals and dinners by courses is another feature of this department. The number of sheep estimated to have been shorn last season in Australia and New Zealand was 109,692, 264, which produced seven pounds and twelve ounces each head, including lambs, as against seven pounds for the previous season. lately taken under advisement some provision for its future.—Kansas City Star. Some labor unions admit Negroes in considerable numbers. The Tunnel and Subway Contractors' International union of New York city, for example, reported about 200 Negro members, and added: "In our trade they are as good as there are in the business." The tobacco workers reported 400 or 500 members, a decrease, however, from the 1,500 they had in 1900. The United Mine Workers of America reported 25,000 colored members, while Negro members predominated in the largest local organization of the union. The secretary of the organization described them as "intelligent, honorable, progressive and good workmen," and this union exacts a fine from members who discriminate against Negroes. Among the officers of the Indian troops forming part of the British expeditionary force are three native princes, each of whom has a fortune exceeding $20,000,000. Probably the best cure for the dissatisfied girl is to permit her to run away with a musical comedy.

Highbrow—There is, madam; our efforts to sell them What Really Happened on FIRST INDEPENDENCE DAY BENJAMIN FRANKLIN THOMAS JEFFERSON ROM much that historians have written about the Fourth of July, 1776, an erroneous idea of the happenings of that great day has become a common heritage of the people of our land. Many an American considers it a part of a patriotic duty to muse upon the imaginative picture entitled "The First Fourth of July," which some historical writer has painted upon his vision. In fancy he sees Independence hall in Philadelphia and the Continental congress with its ruffled shirts, long cloth coats, knee pants, silk stockings and low shoes sitting with dignity, but listening spellbound to a wonderfully strange and entirely new document called "The Declaration of Independence." In fancy he even hears the popular acclaim of "That is just what we all say!" and "It is well worded, Mr. Jefferson." Then the mind pictures the various delegates to congress hastening forward, eager for the honor of fixing their signatures to a sheepskin document. The scene changes to the ringing of the great liberty bell, to the assembling of the people at Philadelphia who applauded the reading of this bill of rights and to the final closing of the day with every man, woman and child in Philadelphia happy because he is no longer a British subject, having become a free American in a single day. Such a vision pictures a heroic scene; but the true record of events does not affirm that these so-called happenings took place on that memorable day. By blotting out the imperfect details of the picture The Fourth of July is in no way robbed of any of its glory. An authentic account of what transpired at that time changes the meaning of the Fourth of July from one day to about sixty in which the whole history of our national liberty is told and the heroic heart-throbs of the sorely tried colonists are keenly felt. The day itself properly symbolizes the liberty for which the patriots of that time stood ready to sacrifice their lives in order to launch the United States as a national craft which should be anchored by no weight of foreign despotism. It was a time of danger when brother, friend and neighbor became estranged by reason of political opinion. Some colonists still loved the mother country with true English pride, while others were so embittered by the injustice of the sovereign across the seas that they willingly gave their all to the cause of the people of the new land. During the latter part of 1774 George Washington himself wrote that no thinking man among the colonists wanted to separate from England, and Franklin ridiculed the idea. During the early days of the revolution the bluecoats never dreamed of separating from the beloved land of their ancestors. In fact, such a course would have been condemned by Americans themselves as treason. Jefferson declared that prior to April 19, 1775, he had heard no whisper of the disposition of anyone to stand from under the governmental power of Great Britain. The inevitable, however, came with the spring of 1776, when local assemblies began formal discussion regarding the liberty of colonists. These legislative bodies possessed but little power, but they did a great part in crystallizing the sentiment for independence in many quarters and forcing those opposed to the idea to declare their inimical attitude. The good work of these small legislative bodies was reflected and magnified as soon as the delegates were sent to the Continental congress. Then the spirit of liberty permeated the very atmosphere of the national assembly and many an individual received the courage to align himself with the new cause. If, June 7, 1776, there had been an "extra paper" to have informed the public of the latest political news one might have read the flaring headlines "Richard Henry Lee of Virginia the Man of the Hour," for it was he who on that day started the Fourth of July. It was this southerner who introduced the first declaration of independence in congress declaring the American people free. Good judgment dictated the caution of omitting John Adams' name from the minutes, as the second to that motion, yet the fact is known today, when there is no army of redcoats waiting to seize patrols as rebels. Too much praise cannot be given to the introduction of Lee's resolution, yet it was to the credit of the Continental congress that action was not forced upon such an important measure at that time. It could not have succeeded until all objections had been silenced, all fears of England's success allayed, until all were conscientiously convinced that the cause of liberty was just. It was imperative that all should look the Goddess of Liberty squarely in the face with a devotion to follow where she should lead. As no agreement could be reached on June 7 the resolution was laid over until the next day, when it was again postponed for consideration until July 1. In order that the cause of liberty should not be retarded during this wait, congress at that lution complete, for the next day congress sat as a committee of the whole to consider the bill. At that time slight alterations were made, certain clauses censuring England were omitted, and others regarding slave trade were left out, while other amendments were added. On July 4 congress assembled again and immediately resolved itself into a committee for the consideration of the Declaration of Independence. When John Hancock, as president of the congress, resumed the chair, Mr. Harrison, great-grandfather of our former president of the United States, reported that his committee had agreed to the declaration, which they desired him to report. What followed this announcement is largely a matter of surmise, despite the fact that the debate lasted all through the warm day, when delegates either talked or listened swathed in heavy, close-fitting stocks. If it had not been for a seemingly trivial incident the debates of that day might probably have bill of rights of the American people. It is said that even this signing was entered into with "fear and trembling." Satisfied that the signed parchment was a lasting evidence of the birth of the new nation, congress took no further official action regarding the instruments itself until January, 1777. By that time the new republic began to feel its strength, and congress decided to promulgate the names of the signers of the Declaration of Independence by ordering that printed copies of the document should be made, with the names of the signers added. Mary Katharine Goddard, a woman who carried on the printing business on Broadside, Baltimore, probably never heard of woman's rights, yet it so happened that it became her right to print these copies of the American bill of rights. From these copies numerous others were soon made, until before long every home boasted at least one copy of the original document which gave life to our republic. structed out of matter, a home is such stuff as dreams are made of.

Policy demanded that a southerner should be chosen to write the declaration in order to increase the probability of its unanimous adoption. Logically, Jefferson was the man to carry this work through, for the masterly style of his pen was well known. With such coworkers, though, it cannot be supposed that he alone was the author of the resolution; for the responsibility had been assigned to all five jointly, and the counsel and advice of all were necessary. However, the credit of the phraseology is given to Jefferson, while John Adams is said to have given close attention to the revision and the amending of the resolution. The entire committee helped perfect the documents by making it the subject of critical analysis. In allowing the Declaration of Independence to be ready before its assembly on June 28 congress preceded its schedule. Satisfied that all were acquainted with its contents, the legislature then laid the bill on the table until it should come up for discussion by congress sitting as a committee of the whole. By trial vote July 1 only nine colonies voted as favorable to the resolution. Final legislative action was therefore deferred until the next day. That, July 2, was probably the most memorable of all dates of our national history. During the stormy debate at that time the declaration was both attacked and commended. When the vote of the day was taken it was found that the declaration had been unanimously indorsed by all of the thirteen colonies. The vote in favor of the declaration was not sufficient to make the adoption of the new resolution complete, for the next day congress sat as a committee of the whole to consider the bill. At that time slight alterations were made, certain clauses censuring England were omitted and others regarding slave trade were left out, while other amendments were added. On July 4 congress assembled again and immediately resolved itself into a committee for the consideration of the Declaration of Independence. When John Hancock, as president of the congress, resumed the chair, Mr. Harrison, great-grandfather of our former president of the United States, reported that his committee had agreed to the declaration, which they desired him to report.

Toward evening the discomfort of the assembly was increased on account of the swarms of files which came from a nearby livery stable into the hall of legislature. These pests were so audacious in assaults upon the statesmen that Jefferson said their annoyance helped bring the matter to a conclusion, and Harrison reported the declaration to congress as accepted, though in the minutes of that day the declaration was at first left out on account of the vengeance of England. Today Independence hall, in the old state house in Philadelphia, remains about as it was on that July 4, and so as far as the setting of the stage the drama is complete, but the drama itself is left for us to supply. All that we have left of the record of that memorable day is the text of the Declaration of Independence, and as that represents what all brave American colonists were ready to lay down their lives for and what should be handed down to us and guarded as courageously as it had been won, the Fourth of July has amply served its purpose and deserved its one monument. Seems to be of Liberty for all." The Spirit of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776, by any but Hancock, as president of the Continental congress, and Thompson, as secretary, is a matter of doubt, for the journal entry records "signed by order of and in behalf of congress." Jefferson himself made conflicting statements regarding this question. Some contend that the delegates met informally on the morning of July 5 and signed the document. Whether or not the signatures were affixed on July 4, congress' act was official on that day that Jefferson's Declaration of Independence was declared acceptable to every colony. And so it resolved that copies should be sent throughout the new-formed republic. The general assemblies, conventions, councils, committees of safety and the commanding officers of the Continental army had to be informed of the independence of the United States. These copies were signed by Hancock and Thompson. The Congressional Record of July 19 shows that a resolution was introduced in the national assembly to the effect that the declaration should be engrossed on parchment and presented for the signature of every member on August 2. This fact, therefore, serves as authority that the parchment copy signed on that day in August, after it had been compared with the fair copy and the latter destroyed, is the copy of the Declaration of Independence which was considered for so many years the original draft of the great bill of rights of the American people. It is said that even this signing was entered into with "fear and trembling." Satisfied that the signed parchment was a lasting evidence of the birth of the new nation, congress took no further official action regarding the instruments itself until January, 1777. By that time the new republic began to feel its strength, and congress decided to promulgate the names of the signers of the Declaration of Independence by ordering that printed copies of the document should be made, with the names of the signers added.

INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the School Course of Moody Bible Institute) LESSON TEXT—H Samuel 18:1:15. GOLDEN TEXT—Children obey your parents in the Lord; for this is right.—Ephesians 6:1. His connivance with Joab, in the death of Uriah, was a costly bargain for David, and the development of sin in his family with its long train of fearful consequences teaches us that sin respects not person nor position. The dark story of chapter 13 involves Absalom's flight and Joab's strategy in getting him back to Jerusalem (ch. 14). All is not as well, however, as it outwardly appears, for Absalom the beautiful (14:25) soon stole the heart of the ten tribes, Israel (ch. 16), from his indulgent and indifferent parent. Then follows the story of that father's flight and of the son's entry into the capital city. This entire story is one of the most wonderful dramas recorded in secular or sacred history. It may be divided roughly as follows: Act I. Absalom slays his brother. Act II. David fails to become fully reconciled. Act III. Absalom's rebellion. Act IV. David's grief. The lesson for today has to do with Acts III. and IV. Act III. Scene 1. David's Flight and Finesse, chapters 15, 16 and 17 "A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her that bare him" (Prov. 17:25). On the other hand an indulgent and an indifferent father brings grief to his son. Scene 2. The Battle of Mount Ephraim (chapter 19). David at the Gate, v. 15. The place where David "numbered" (v. 1) his followers was Mahanaim (17:27), where Jacob saw the two "hosts" of angels (Gen. 32:1, 2). What David saw was quite different. As he waited he had time to contemplate that other time that he remained behind when he ought to have gone forth to battle and which resulted in the sin for which he was even now suffering (ch. 11:17). Absalom was shrewd as men count shrewdness, but he made one fatal omission in planning his campaign, he left God out of his reckoning (ch. 17:14 R. V). David's use of Hushai was fully justified by the situation into which this reckless son was precipitated, still it is probable that David listened to the advice of his followers (v. 3) more willingly because of his reluctance to fight against his own son. It is, indeed, a sad, sad spectacle to see David stand watching his army go out to battle, perhaps to slay his son, and his exhortation (v. 5) to his three captains falls upon dull ears in the case of Joab. David's chief concern was for Absalom, not for himself nor for his army, but the time when his anxiety would avail had passed. Every man pays dearly, sooner or later, for his sin; the longer he waits the greater the reckoning. Scene 3. Absalom's Defeat, vv. 6-10. The battle was so planned that the advantage of the forest was on David's side and more of the enemies of David were smitted by the hand of God (v. 8) than were slain by the servants of David. These men brought judgment upon themselves through their disloyalty to God's chosen king (Judges 5:20, 21) and in this we see a type of that final victory which shall end our David's engagement with his foes (Rev. 79:11-21; II Thess. 2:8). Men who today are disloyal or disobedient to God's chosen King can only expect "a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation which shall devour the adversaries" (Heb. 10:27). At the end of the battle proud Absalom is not found in his charis, but helpless entangled in the crown of his pride, his hair (v. 9), while both his men and his mule fee, leaving him to his fate. Lost mankind is as helpless as Absalom (Gal. 3:10), but has one who hung on a tree that he might "redeem us from the curse" of death (Gal. 3:13). Scene 4. Absalom's Death, vv. 11:15. "Absalom chanced to meet" (v. $ R. V.); there is no chance in the providences of God. His desire to meet David's servants is granted, yet that meeting brought Absalom dismay, defeat and ruin. Joab now takes matters into his own hands. He held David in his power and had a debt to pay Absalom (ch. 14:29). Most dearly did Absalom pay the penalty to this vegetable, time-abiding soldier. Joab was not content to slay this proud youth, but, to show his contempt, he cast the dead body into a pit and raised over it a "great heap" of stones (v. 17). So Absalom's proud monument (v. 18) failed of its intended purpose. David's victory was complete; even so will be the ultimate victory of our "greater David" (Phill. 2:10, 11). Act IV. David's Grief, v. 19-23. Scene 1. The Messengers. Again our attention is centered upon the grief-stricken father. His anxiety is sincere and heart-breaking, but it is tardy. The first messenger, Alhimaaz, is a good man, but brings not good news. Is our message one of life or of death? The second messenger gives a diplomatic but a blunt answer to David's anxious inquiry. What cared David for his enemies, his army, nay for himself, if only the "young man" were safe. Application. "Is the young man safe?" Industrially, socially, physically, morally, spiritually, his safety defends upon the guidance of the home, the father and the church. Only as parents hear and obey the Master's words, "Bring thy son hither" (Luke 9:41) is the young man safe. David's sin was not, however, sufficient cause for Absalom's downfall; he courted his own ruin (John 5:40). The great outstanding lesson of this entire drama, extending from the eleventh to the nineteenth chapters, is: "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." SEEING LIFE with JOHN HENRY BY George V. Hobart John Henry on Automobiles THE CARTER They Rushed Nearly Into the Bosom of a Flock of Cows. SAY! did you ever have to leave the soothing influence of your own rattling radiators in the Big City and go romping off to a rich relation's for the Christmas week-end? Well, don't do it, if you can help it, and if you can't help it get back home as soon as possible. When Uncle Gilbert Hawley sent us an invitation to run up to Hawleyville for a day or two I looked at Peaches and she looked at me—then we both looked out of the window. We knew what a wildly hilarious time we'd have splashing out small talk to the collection of human brie-brac always to be found at Uncle Gilbert's, but what is one going to do when the highest old gink in the family waves a beckoning arm? I'll tell you what one is going to do—one is going to take to one's O'Sullivan's, beat it rapidly to a choo-choo and float into Uncle Gilbert's presence with business of being tickled to death—that's what one is going to do. You know nature has a few immutable laws and one is that even a rich old uncle must in the full course of time pass on and leave nephews and nieces. 'Leave them what? Ah! that's it! Where's that time table?' Hawleysville is about forty miles away on the P. D. & Q., and it is some burg. Uncle Gilbert wrote it all himself. Uncle Gilbert has nearly all the money there is in the world. Every time he signs a check a national bank goes out of existence. He tried to count it all once, but he sprained his wrists and had to stop. On the level, when he goes into a bank all the government bonds get up and yell, "Hello, papa!" When he cuts coupons it's like a sheep shearing. He has muscles all over him like a prize fighter just from lifting mortgages. When Peaches and I finally reached the Hawley mansion on the hill we found there a scene of great excitement. Old and distant relations were bustling up and down the stone steps, talking in whispers; servants with scared faces and popping eyes were peeping around the corner of the house and in the roadway in front of a sobbing automobile stood Uncle Gilbert and Aunt Miranda, made up to look like two members of the Peary expedition at the Pole. After the formal greetings we were soon put hep to the facts in the case. "You see, John," bubbled Aunt Miranda, while a pair of great green goggles danced an accompaniment on her nose; "your Uncle Gilbert loaned the money to a man to open a garage in Hawleysville. But automobilists never They Rushed Nearly Into the got any blowouts or punctures going through here because there isn't a saloon in the town, so the garage failed and the man left town in an awful hurry and all your Uncle Gilbert got for the money he loaned was this car. We've been four years making up our minds to buy one and now we have one whether we want it or not." "Fine!!" I said. "Going out for a spin, Uncle Gilbert?" "Possibly," he answered, never taking his eyes off the man-killer in front of km, which stood there trembling with anger. "What car is it?" I inquired politely. "It's a Seismic." Uncle Gilbert said. "Oh, yes, of course; made by the Earthquake Brothers in Powderville—good car for the hills, especially coming down," I volunteered. "Know how to run it?" "I guess so; I was always a good hand at machinery," Uncle Gilbert answered. "Don't you think you should have a chauffeur?" Peaches suggested. "Chauffeur! Why." Uncle Gilbert snapped back. "What. I do want with one of those fellows sitting around, eating me out of house and home?" Now you know why he has so much money. "We'll be back in a little while," Aunt Miranda explained; "just make yourselves at home, children." Uncle Gilbert continued to eye the car for another minute, then he turned to me and said, "Want to try it, John?" "Nix, Uncle Gilbert," I protested. "What would the townspeople say? You with a new motor car, afraid to run it yourself, had to send to New York for your nephew—nix! Where's your family pride?" "My family pride is all right," answered Uncle Gilbert; "but there's a lot of contraptions in that machine I don't seem to recognize." "Oh, thats' all right; you're a handy little guy with machinery." I reminded him. "Hop in now and break forth. Don't let the public think that you're afraid to blow a bubble through the streets of your native town. The rubber sweater buttoned to the chin and the Dutch awning over the forehead for yours, and on your way!" Reuctantly Uncle Gilbert and Aunt Miranda climbed into the kerosene wagon and I gave him his final instructions. "Now, Uncle Gilbert." I said, "grab that wheel in front of you firmly with both hands and put one foot on the accelerator. Now put the other foot on the rheostat and let the left elbow gently rest on the deodizer. Keep the rubber tube connecting with the automatic fog whistle closely between the teeth and let the right elbow be in touch with the quadruplex while the apex of the left knee is pressed over the spark coil and the right ankle works the condenser." Uncle Gilbert grunted. "Why don't you put my left shoulder blade to work?" he muttered. "It's the only part of my anatomy that hasn't got a job." "John," whispered the nervous Aunt Miranda, "do you really think your Uncle Gilbert knows enough about the car?" "Sure," I answered, and I was very serious about it. "Now, Uncle Gilbert, keep both eyes on the road in front of you and the rest of your face in the wagon. Start the driving wheels, repeat slowly the name of your favorite coroner and leave the rest to fate!" And away they started in the Whiz Wagon. Before they had rolled along for half a mile through the town, the machine suddenly began to breathe fast and then, all of a sudden, it choked up and stopped. "Will it explode?" whispered Aunt Miranda, pleadingly. "No," said Uncle Gilbert, jumping out; "I think the cosmopolitan has buckled with the trapezoid, and then with a monkey wrench, he crawled under the hood to see if the trouble was stubbornness or appendicitis. Uncle Gilbert took a dislike to a brass valve and began to knock it with the monkey wrench, whereupon the valve got mad at him and upset a pint of ancient salad oil all over his features. When Uncle Gilbert recovered consciousness the machine was breathing again, so he jumped to the helm, pointed the bow at Boston, Mass., and began to cut the grass. Alas! however, it seemed that the demon of unrest possessed that Coal-Ol Coupe, for it soon began to jump the Bosom of a Flock of Cows. and skip, and suddenly, with a snort, it took the river road and scooted away from town. Ucle Gilbert patted it on the back and spoke soothingly, but it was no use. Aunt Miranda pleaded with him to keep in near the shore, because she was getting seasick; but he tears were in vain. "You must appear calm and indifferent in the presence of danger," muttered Uncle Gilbert as they rushed madly into the bosom of a flock of cows. But luck was with them, for with a turn of the wrist Uncle Gilbert jumped the machine across the road, and all he could feel was the sharp swish of an old cow's tail across his cheek as they rushed on and out of that animal's life forever. Aunt Miranda tried to be brave and to chat pleasantly. "How is Wall street these days?" she asked, and just then the machine struck a stone and she went up in the air. "Unsettled," answered Uncle Gilbert when she got back, and then there was an embarrassing silence. To try to hold a polite conversation on a motor car in full flight is very much like trying to repeat the Declaration of Independence while falling from a seventh-story window. Then, all of a sudden, the machine struck a chord in G and started for Newfoundland at the rate of 7,000,000 miles a minute. Aunt Miranda threw her arms around Uncle Gilbert's neck, he threw his neck around the lever, the lever threw him over, and they both threw a fit. Down the road ahead of them a man and his wife were quarreling. They were so much in earnest that they did not hear the machine sneaking swiftly up on rubber shoes. 1 As the Benzine Buggy was about to fall upon the quarreling man and wife Uncle Gilbert squeezed a couple of hoarse "Toot Toots!" from the horn, whereupon the woman in the road threw up both hands and leaped for the man. The man throw up both feet and leaped for the fence. The last Aunt Miranda saw of them they were entering their modest home neck and neck, and the divorce court lost a bet. Then the machine began to climb a telegraph pole, and as it ran down the other side Aunt Miranda wanted to know for the tenth time if it would explode. "How did John tell you to handle it?" she shrieked, as the Rowdy Cart bit its way through a stone fence and began to dance a two-step over a strange man's lawn. "The only way to handle this infernal machine is to soak it in water," yelled Uncle Gilbert as they hit the main road again. "I don't see what family pride has to do with it; there isn't a soul looking," moaned Aunt Miranda. "Oh! if I could only be arrested for fast riding and get this thing stopped," wailed Uncle Gilbert as they headed for the river. "Let me out! Let me out!" pleaded Aunt Miranda, and the machine seemed to hear her, for it certainly obliged the lady. I found out afterwards that in order to make good with Aunt Miranda the machine jumped up in the air and A car is falling off a railway track. Aunt Miranda Wanted to Know for the Tenth Time If It Would Explode. turned a double handspring, during the course of which friend uncle and his wife fell out and landed in the most generous mudpuddle in that part of the state. Then the Buzz Buggy turned around and barked at them and with an excited wag of its tail scooted for home and left them flat. Late that evening Uncle Gilbert explained that there would have been no trouble at all if he had removed a defective spark plug. But I think if Uncle Gilbert would go to Doctor Leiser and have his parsimony removed he'd have more fun as he breezes through life. Peaches thinks just as I do, but she won't say it out loud. She's a fox, that kid. A Fly Town. San Vicente, Mexico, is a community of fly catchers. It lies in the Sierra Madre mountains and its industry consists in catching files for a European market where compressed fly cakes are used as bird food. The Mexicans harvest their crop on a marsh which breeds millions of black files somewhat larger than the common house fly. During the season the peons go among the swarms of insects with nets. Each catch is emptied into a bag and at the end of the day the bags are emptied into a box which is also a press. A cover is placed on it and pressed down and weighted with heavy stones. After 24 hours the contents are pressed into a layer. This is cut into six-inch cubes and dried in the sun and is then ready for export. A special tariff on the importation of these cakes is leved by Germany, where most of them go. The San Vicente community almost lives on this unique industry.—Technical World. The Home and the Child. In the development of the child along lines most satisfactory undoubtedly the home exerts the greatest and most salutary effects.

This holder is mounted on the desk just back of the typewriter, so that the copy will hold vertically within easy range of the eye. The line finder is stationary, while the portion of the device that supports the copy is raised one line when the lever is pressed down, or lowered one line when the lever is raised. The device is easily adjusted to any spacing from one thirty-second of an inch to one and three-seconds of inches. Romance vs. Reality. "Ah!" sighed the sentimental vald.

Its area is equal to that of France and the British isles combined. But what renders it most interesting is that it is today the least known portion of the habitable world, fully nine-tenths of the island being as yet unexplored. This may well seem surprising when it is considered that New Guinea is separated from the north coast of Australia only by a broad strait. A glance at a map of the world will show that it is in reality the largest member of the great archipelago in the eastern seas, which includes the Philippine islands on the north and Borneo and Sumatra on the west. The line of the equator runs almost directly through it. Ferocious Black Cannibals. Ferocious Black Cannibals. New Guinea is inhabited by tribes of ferocious black people, with great mops of woolly hair, who evince utmost hostility toward all intruders. When vessels have been wrecked upon their inhospitable shores they have in a number of known instances captured the unfortunate mariners and eaten them. But if the island is to so great an extent a terra incognita today it is not mainly on this account, but because of its unhealthful climate. FISHING WITH BOW AND ARROW From the foothills of the huge mountain range, running through its entire length from east to west, extend to north and south vast swampy plains covered with dense forests, intersected by innumerable streams, and haunted by the deadliest of fevers. Thus it comes about that German New Guinea is practically an unknown land, except for a narrow strip along the coast, while the portion hitherto held by Great Britain has been explored only in part, and what is known of the Dutch half of the island was ascertained mainly by an English expedition undertaken in 1910. This expedition, headed by Capt. Cecil C. Rawling, which penetrated some distance into the interior and made considerable surveys, came across tribes of hitherto unknown pygmies, the men barely reaching 4 feet 7 inches in height. It is presumed that the women are proportionately smaller, but no bribes or other persuasions could induce these little folk to produce any of their females for inspection. The savages along the coast, on the other hand, are good-sized people, remarkably muscular and with a great development of chest. The men are sooty black, the women being slightly fairer. Among them are occasional albinos, with dirty reddish hair, their pink skins blotched unpleasantly with darker color. Both sexes go nearly naked, the women wearing either a short grass petticoat or a strip of bark cloth passed between the legs and held in place by a string tied around the waist. For the man a gourd similarly attached in front often serves the purpose of riment. Native Village One Long Room. A native village is one long room, which may extend to any length, the newest member of such a community building his hut on the end of the row, without any partition. Thus there is no attempt at privacy, though each family has its own doorway and natives of New Guinea. They are treated as slaves, worked almost to death and savagely beaten when their owners happen to be in a bad humor, which is often. It is their business to cultivate the fields of banana and rice, while their lords and masters attend to the fighting and hunting. If a man chooses to murder his wife, nobody interferes, and nothing much seems to be thought of it. New Guinea is for naturalists an unexplored wonderland. It has many species of birds that are as yet unknown to science. The forests are full of parrots and other feathered creatures of brilliant plumage, and among the marine curiosities along the coast are fishes that climb trees. The swamps swarm with the deadliest snakes. As for the mammals of the island, nearly all of them are, like those of nearby Australia, marsupials. Motion Pictures in Color. A serious effort is being made to reproduce motion pictures in color, but as yet little success has been obtained, and the pictures in color which have been show in recent years have been painted. Attempts to adapt three-color photography, by using simultaneously three films, each with a sort of light of appropriate color, and combining the three images on the screen, have to overcome great difficulties in regard to maintenance of register, because very minute errors of adjustment between the pictures on the films are magnified to an intolerable extent by projection. In a process devised by G. A. Smith, the results of which were exhibited at the Society of Arts of London, in December, 1908, the number of colors recorded was reduced to two. In the French school of violin making the art was not practiced generally until the eighteenth century. The French were rather more skillful as imitators of the Italians than as originators, and the most famous of these Violin Makers. its own fireplace. The floor is of sand fresh from the seashore and covered with grass mats, and the only furniture consists of elaborately carved wooden pillows, most uncomfortable, as one would think, for sleeping purposes. Dangling from the roof, and much blackened by smoke, are human skulls and bones, formerly belonging to defunct relatives, the bones being sometimes contained in woven grass bags. The price of a wife among these primitive people may be anything from a yard of calico to an ax head, according to the physical attractions and domestic accomplishments of the woman. The savage warriors of New Guinea adorn themselves with crowns of paradise feathers, which are held in place by a band of plaited grass encircling the head. Sometimes they wear a sort of halo, the rays of which are many pieces of plaited into the hair and standing out at right angles to the scalp. Such a headdress, which is not disturbed or remade for months, must be rather uncomfortable to sleep in. To lend a fierce expression to the face the beak of the hornbill split in two is worn through a hole in the septum of the nose, in such a way that the two thin white blades, each five or six inches long, curve up at the ends like Kalser Wilhelm's mustache. Captain Rawling, in his book, "The Land of the New Guinea Pygmies," says that the natives are engaged in perpetual strife and drunken brawls their favorite intoxicant being a fermented liquor obtained from the sugar palm. Just outside each family door ```markdown ``` way stand the owner's spears and stone clubs, which are used in domestic quarrels or to fight with enemies. Violent temper seems to be a characteristic of these savages, and with hardly a moment's warning the peaceful village is converted into a scene of turmoil and spears. Spears whizz; clubs are wielded indiscriminately and with murderous intent, and the place resounds with ferocious yells. At intervals raids are undertaken to procure heads as trophies and human flesh for food. There are no fiercer cannibals, judging from all accounts, than those of New Guinea. In 1858 a vessel was wrecked off the coast of British New Guinea, and 300 men on board of her, all of them Chinese, were marooned on a small island. There they were fed and systematically fattened by the natives, no escape being possible, and at intervals, as required, two or three of them at a time were taken to the mainland, boiled in a spring of hot water and eaten. Women have no rights among the natives of New Guinea. They are treated as slaves, worked almost to death and savagely beaten when their owners happen to be in a bad humor, which is often. It is their business to cultivate the fields of banana and rice, while their lords and masters attend to the fighting and hunting. If a man chooses to murder his wife, nobody interferes, and nothing much seems to be thought of it. New Guinea is for naturalists an unexplored wonderland. It has many species of birds that are as yet unknown to science. The forests are full of parrots and other feathered creatures of brilliant plumage, and among the marine curiosities along the coast are fishes that climb trees.

The German school never got very far in its success, Jacob Stalner standing at the head of the makers of that country. To Kill a Cat. The most merciful way of destroying cats is to chloroform them. Draw an old sock over the cat's head, so that the toe is brought not quite to its nose. Pour a teaspoonful of chloroform on to the sock close to the cat's nose. Almost as soon as the animal begins to be frightened it will doze off. Twice more soak the end of the sock, and the cat will not wake again.

COOKED IN ITALIAN STYLE Delicious Ways of Preparing Fruit That May Be a Novelty to Some Housewives. For the many who prefer cooked to raw fruits the various delicious ways known to the Italianis may be received with pleasure. Different from the usual apple sauce is this method of cooking. Pare and quarter apples of any size, drop into a saucepan, for every six apples add the juice of one orange, and a quarter of the peel sliced with the pulp. If not sufficient juice a little water may be added and granulated sugar to taste. Cook only until the apples are tender, not long enough for them to lose form. Pears cooked the same way are very good. Apricots, fresh or dried, are cooked in the same way. If dried soak for eight or ten hours. Place in a baking pan, cover with sugar and marsala wine, or a good quality of sherry. Place in the even, cook until soft and julcy, basting occasionally. Plums will be found equally good cooked as apricots. Prunes, always seasonable, are wonderfully delicious when prepared in the true Italian way. Soak over night prunes of any size in sufficient red wine to cover the fruit and for each pound of fruit add half a cup of granulated sugar. Cook until tender and add more wine if much juice is desired. Just what the wine does to the flavor of the prunes it is difficult to say, but certainly they are well worth trying. Dried cherries, as well as the fresh ones, are good cooked this way, and blackberries stewed with claret instead of water will prove a new delicacy. Peaches cooked with brandy are of course not a novelty, but peaches cooked with raspberry syrup instead of sugar and the usual brandy will be something to remember. CHINTZ NEEDS GREAT CARE Precautions Must Be Taken When There Is Need of Washing This Delicate Fabric. The housewife whose home is filled with dainty chintz draperies and covers is often troubled by the fact that each time her chintz is washed its lovely designs grow a bit lighter, until they are so faint as to be almost indistinguishable. Of course the fading is all due to the way the chintzes are laundered, and a little more care in that department will keep the bright colors practically the same as new. The chintz should be soaked in cold water made briny with plenty of salt and vinegar. When the brine has thoroughly penetrated all through the goods a little hot water should be run into the tub; not enough to make the tub full of warm water, just enough to make it tepid. The washing should not be done with a very strong acid soap—in fact, a soft soap is preferable. When the chintz is hung up to dry care should be taken that it is not put up in the direct sunshine, but is hung in the shade. When not quite dry it should be taken down and ironed from the wrong side. The great thing in preserving the colors of chintz is not to let heat come in contact with the right side of the goods. Of course the irons will have to be fairly hot in order that the chintz may look fresh and without wrinkles, but this heat should be applied to the wrong side of the goods. How to Clean Suede If you are wearing a pair of fashionable shoes it goes without saying that they have some suede somewhere in their makeup. They have suede tops or they have suede trimmings, or some place there is some suede. Also, as a matter of fact, the suede becomes soiled rather easily. Now, there are several sorts of cleaners sold for suede and all of them are fairly good. But a woman who has had much experience with cleaning suede says that the best way to clean it is to rub it with a fine emery cloth. This literally rubs off the dirt and leaves the suede smooth and clean. Radish Salad Radish salad is very pungent and appetizing. Select firm, fresh radishes and wash and scrape them carefully. Cut into dice and cover with ice water till crisp. Mix a cake of cream cheese with a few sprigs of parsley chopped. There should be sufficient celery to make half a cup. Stir in the radishes and serve on lettuce leaves with French dressing. Salad Surprise. Select white turnips of large size and uniformity, peel carefully, cut off the top and scoop out the inside. To this add salt and English walnuts mixed thoroughly with French dressing made with a liberal quantity of olive oil. Refill turnip cups, place mint cherry on top and serve on lettuce hearts. Baked Eggs in Pepper Case Parboll the peppers (one for each person to be served) for about ten minutes. Remove from the water and break two eggs into the cavity. Stand the peppers upright in a small baking tin, place in a hot oven about five minutes or until the eggs are sufficiently cooked. Lay one or two strips of bacon across each pepper and serve. Small Cakes for Luncheon. One-half cupful of butter and lard, mixed and creamed with $1\frac{1}{2}$ cupfuls of brown sugar, two eggs well beaten, two cupfuls of flour, one even tea spoonful of soda in a little hot water, one pound of chopped dates, one-half pound of English walnuts; flavor with vanilla; mix with the hands, pat out in small cakes and bake in ungreased tins. Chicken Soup. Three pints chicken stock (use water) you boil your chicken in), ten peppercorns, two slices carrot, one slice onion, one blade mace. Cook half hour. Add one pint milk, thicken with three tablespoons each of butter and flour. Salt and pepper to tast. Three-Hour Trip to Town Cut Down to Thirty Minutes by Advent of Gasoline Motor Car. (By L. J. OLLIER.) The prosperity of a state depends largely upon good roads. They mean cheaper transportation, better living conditions, and happier homes. Quick communication ranks as the great factor in the universal dissemination of knowledge. Where good roads abound sectionalism cannot exist. The desire for good roads leading to a city that those with automobiles could have a greater pleasurable tour radius first brought the matter prominently to the fore as a good roads movement with automobile back- ing. Gradually the farmer, antagonistic at first, began to take an interest. With good roads and an automobile he could cut down the three hour trip to town to perhaps thirty minutes. Good roads brought the doctor quickly—at a time when minutes were precious. Good roads and an automobile took the family to town in the evening, something unheard of before, or to visit a friend or relative in a distant part of the county. When farmers learned that other farmers were doing these things, that good roads and automobiles made them possible, then they, too, desired good roads for their own county. By means of the telephone and quick motor truck delivery the farmer is now able to top the market. He can rush his produce to market at the right moment to command the best price. But he could not do it were his roads not well built and in good repair. Consequently the farmer is now most active in the agitation for good roads and jealous of any legislative power delegated to irresponsible authorities. While in time every road should be a good road, yet all the work cannot be done at once. Therefore the authorities who are building roads should see that each one is linked to another to make continuous highways. The advantage of this lies in the fact that the main arteries of travel will then first receive the attention of the good roads builders. It will also facilitate touring, in itself a valuable asset for any community. It is interesting to note that in 1913 Ohio had the largest mileage of improved roads of any state in the Union with 28,312 miles. Indiana was second and New York third. Illinois was seventh with 9,000 miles. While New York can claim the greatest progress in road building from 1909 to 1913, having built nearly 10,000 miles in that time, I feel that the work California is now doing probably puts that state in the lead. I have just returned from California and am amazed at the Gravel Road Near Richmond, Ind. wonderful way in which this state is taking hold of good roads work. Three years ago California appropriated $18,000,000 for good roads. The various counties each appropriated in addition from $250,000 to $3,500,000 for the improvement of county roads which are feeders to the main highways. Los Angeles county has over 400 miles of improved roads. By September one will be able to drive from Los Angeles to San Francisco by the coast route and return by the valley route over continuous good roads—a boulevard 1,000 miles in length. The same agitation that brought California its appropriation for good roads is now being waged elsewhere throughout the West. In some places actual work is in progress. The state of Utah has passed favorably upon an improved road that eventually will be part of one all the way from the Yellowstone National park to the Grand canyon of the Colorado river in Arizona. In the East New York is working out its good roads plan and I am interested in the efforts Illinois is making to improve its roads. Work for Convicts If set to work on our pubs, highways the convicts in our prisons would go out into the world after their sentences are fulfilled better qualified to take their places as self-respecting men and stronger mentally, morally and physically. This aspect of the good roads' subject is receiving constantly increasing attention. Easy Transportation Easy Transportation. When you consider the question impartially, perhaps nothing has had so much to do with the advance of civilization as transportation. It has affected economics in almost every branch. The feeding of nations, the growth of business, civilization itself really rests upon the fundamentals of quick and easy transportation—the kind of transportation that has been evolved within the last 50 years.

Complaint is being made that minors are being allowed to visit pool halls, and it is hoped that the evil may be stopped even if some of the places have to be closed. Eight young colored men were graduated from Yale this year and it is reported that each attained a high degree in class rating. This is bad news to the Negrophobists. A white man in Tennessee dying left $80,000 to his common law colored wife, who had borne him several children. The courts have upheld the will over the protests of white relatives. It is claimed that the cheap grade of brandy which is being sold into South Africa and is having such disastrous effect upon the native consumers, is having the direct connivance of the government. The local Y. M. C. A. is considering the advisability of lowering the prices for billiard games and otherwise improving the service. The members should respond to this spirit and boost the Y. M. C.

Champ Clark is one of the really big Democrats among whom the Negro always fares well. The magnificent demonstration given by the Masonic fraternity last Sunday was not only creditable to that organization but to the race in this city, and should be an inspiration to every organization in the city to make its public showing so dignified as to command the respect even of the other race. With the dissensions existing in the Democratic party in city, state and nation and the hard times prevailing throughout the country which can be traced to Democracy's mismanagement of public affairs and the get together spirit prevailing with all classes of Republicans, makes it reasonably certain that the shrewd and competent management that this city, state and nation will be carried by the Republicans by unprecedented majority. Get in the band wagon, boys. That the jittneys so prevalent in this city that are being shown so much consideration by the Kansas City Star and which are without doubt COMMON carriers in the legal acceptance of the term, should be allowed to discriminate against Negroes is as unreasonable as it is unjust. Negroes should either have them put out of commission or serve the purposes for which they exist—carriers for all the people. Let's try the courts.

WASHINGTON IDEAS—"BACK TO THE FARM." By T. W. H. WILLIAMS Dear Editor of the Sun: As you were once commissioned by the President of the United States to investigate farming conditions and the ownership of farms by Negroes of the West, I thought it would still be of interest to your readers to note that the question of the Booker T. Washington slogan "Back to the Farm" is still receiving the attention of our best men and women. What I mean by our best men and women are those persons not only of the Negro race but the white race also. For, be it well understood that there are multiplied thousands of white persons in this country who are aiding in every way possible the advancement and uplift of the Negro. The only hope to reward that they expect to receive is a demonstration of his (Negro's) worth as a man and a citizen. In my article yet to appear in your columns, I have discussed with much feeling the question of segregation and citizenship. When the Negro will have proven himself a man and a citizen segregation and other kindred matters will be destroyed. There can be no special laws made for the Negro of this country. He must see himself as he is, a part of the great common whole. Therefore it is worth while and it is up to him to adjust himself with conditions he must confront in this country, and the best way for him to do so is to go back to the farm. The following from the Christian Science Monitor, Boston, Mass., June 26, should engage the profoundest attention of every Negro interested in the uplift and welfare of his race. I do most sincerely hope that you can see your way to publish every word as here stated, for it clearly shows that our race, also, has a good per cent towards reclaiming the soil; NEGROES FINDING Increasing Movement Toward Country Districts—Farm Ownership Spells Progress. Students of the negro are calling attention to an increasing tendency among the people of that race to move into the country districts and become farmers. They express the conviction that the country, far more than the city, is adapted to the negro's present needs or—to quote an authority—that it is the "environment most suited to his biologic, social and economic heritage." Facts show that the negro makes greater progress in the country than in the city, especially where he owns instead of renting his farm. "Stability, thrift, industry and purpose, it may be said," according to S. T. Bitting in the May number of the Southern Workman, "where competition is free, constitute the prerequisites of economic independence. Granted that this is true, it follows that the environment which will best facilitate the development of these qualities in a race still in the plastic stage of social adaptation is the one to be desired. Recognized authority is of the opinion that the farm offers the best opportunity for the development of the qualities leading to industrial freedom in the race; and it is certainly the lesson of history that the roots of civilization must be struck deep in the soil before the processes of production can be mastered or before the higher social group can be evolved. "Of no less importance are the laws of consumption—the balancing of maximum of benefit with the products of labor—and these were likewise first learned in the cultivation of the soil." One obvious advantage that country residence has over city residence is, the writer points out, that country residents are quite likely to find it possible to own their homes. Ownership immediately develops a sense of pride and responsibility. No matter how small the farm which belongs to the negro, because it is his very own, he has some incentive to make it as productive as possible. He is inspired to become industrious and thrifty. Furthermore, through ownership the man begins to feel a sense of social responsibility, to take an interest in the affairs of society and government, to feel that he is a necessary unit of a larger group. Though the opportunities for academic education may be less in rural districts than in the cities, this is more than compensated for, the writer implies, by the stimulus to racial education that the negro receives in the country. He says further: "In the growth of any race there must be certain guiding principles thoroughly worked into its actual nature before there can be any real adaptation to the newer ideas." What is most essential, in other words, is that the negro shall learn economic efficiency and racial sufficiency, and these can be most readily acquired by farm ownership and farm cultivation. One distinct economic advantage which the negro farmer has over the native American farmer is that he can live at less expense. But this is true, too, of the immigrant farmer who makes his home in the United States; therefore the negro is not without a competitor in this matter and must not only maintain but increase his standard of efficiency if he does not wish the immigrant farmer to take his place. Having reviewed the advantages which accrue to both race and individual from rural land ownership, the writer turns to conditions in Virginia to discover whether the negro is choosing the wiser course. Figures for the decade between 1900 and 1910 show that there has been a steady increase in the ratio of negro farmers to negro population. In Virginia negroes are moving to the country and becoming independent there. In the entire state over 66 per cent of the negro farmers own the land they cultivate, and these land holdings total more than a million and a third acres, an area nearly twice that of the state of Rhode Island. This means that the total negro acreage in Virginia has doubled since 1892. EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, MO. Next Sunday is communion day and Rev.

W. G. Jackson, after which Dr. Wm. H. Thomas of Alen chapel delivered a powerful and eloquent sermon. This day will be long remembered by all who were present. HUNTSVILLE, MO. Finney lodge No. 98 held its annual thanksgiving service Sunday at 2:30 p. m. to a very large audience. The speaker took for his subject "Strength," and the sermon was full of strength and courage. MOBERLY, MO. The inclement weather was the cause of a few in attendance at Sunday evening's service...At 2:30 p.m. at the Second Baptist church the U. B. F. and S. M. T. and juveniles held their annual thanksgiving services. Rev.

Crews, Grand Master of Masons, made Silver Jewel lodge No. 102 an official visit June 23. Long will live the name of Nelson C. Crews in the hearts of the Masons of Mexico. On June 27 Silver Jewel lodge No. 102, Wisdom chapter No. 36, O. E. S., A. R. Chinn No. 106, H. of J., turned out in full regalia in compliance to a proclamation issued by M. W. G. M. Crews, designating that as a day of thanksgiving. Rev. Smith officiated. His sermon was very masterful and brought us a message that will not soon be forgotten. Sunday was a great day in Mexico for the Masons and each of the adoptive rites. Great is Masonry in Mexico. We are building slowly but surely. CHILLIGOTHE, MO. Mr. Quinn of Indiana is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Quinn... Miss Saunders, who departed for St. Joseph, Mo., last Sunday, informed us of the illness of Mrs. Smith Crews....

St. John's day was celebrated by the members of Golden Rule lodge No. 77, A. F and M. A, and O. E. S. Sunday afternoon at Mount Zion Baptist church, with Mr. Thos. Quinn as master of ceremonies. Prof. V. E. Williams and 'Mr. Benjamin V. Longdon spoke clearly and practically of the local fraternity and emphasized the fact that a work of organization and inspiration had lifted the jurisdiction to a level never before attained or attempted. Rev. John Carter of Carrollton preached the sermon with his accustomed pertinence and force. A bass solo was sung by Prof. V. E. Williams. "We may forget the singer but we'll not forget the song." It occurs to us to refer here to the music furnished by the senior choir of the Baptist church uned rhe direction of Mrs. Lottie Montgomery and Mr. James Banks. The anthems contributed much to an influence that was deeply, quietly and sweetly spiritual. To bring the public into touch with Masonry and its Christian patrons is a purpose of the most vital importance. This effort on the part of the Masons in accordance with the Grand Master's proclamation has bee, if not marvelus, at least highly gratifying.

Dear Sir and Brother: Have just returned from St. John's day observance. It was the grandest turnout of Masons ever witnessed in the city. Every branch, the Shrine, the Commandery, the Royal Arch chapter, the Daughters of Isis, the O. E. S., and the H. of J. were represented. The program was exceptionally fine and the sermon by Rev. Buren was par excellent. The church was filled to overflowing. I fall to find words to express my enjoyment of the time spent. I regret very much that you were not present to hear the sermon. I am forced to say that had it not been for your proclamation bidding all Masons to observe that day, our observance of it would have been rather tame, and the far-reaching benefit that will result from this day's meeting would not have been attained. We had arranged to observe the day, but not on such an elaborate scale as we did. The masters of the two other lodges and their members were there, all mingling as brothers should. It only remains to keep alive the smoldering fire of friendliness that has been started until it bursts into flames, consuming everything antagonistic to peace and harmony, then Masonry in this city will be what the word implies. This day will go down as the red letter day in Masonry. Fraternally, A. D. BUTLER. ROSEDALE, KAS.

A boat from France to England, according to a recent report, was loaded with buyers from this country who were abroad getting new styles. Not even submarines and cannon can keep the American woman away from the latest in millinery and gowns. Fears that the woman in politics would forfeit customary chivalrous consideration have been set at rest. The feminine vote in Chicago is in such demand that no man with a grain of political sense will hesitate about giving a seat to a lady in a street car. It might be worth while to try to reduce automobile accidents by removing all limit to speed. It may have been noted by observing that only slow or moderately-moving vehicles knock down and kill people. The fact is remarkable enough for psychological analysis. Doctor Rittman, the discoverer of the new chemical processes, insists that in the development of the processes commercially, no private concern shall obtain any monopoly of the discoveries for individual gain, but that they shall be used solely for the benefit of the public.

Jan Voorst, burgomaster, leaned over, seized my ear—for he was pudgy and short—pulled himself up and myself down and murmured an ominous word. I thrilled. I started, too, and ten feet distant the beautiful lady who was perforce my prospective companion for a long and dangerous journey, regarded us both with close attention, almost suspiciously. What Jan Voorst had told me answered a question I had asked. It related to a patient, plodding pack horse, standing beside the one where "Lady Disdain" sat, superb and statusque, in the saddle of a more mettled steed. Why I called her so was, first, because I did not know her real name; next, because when she was not secretly weeping over the great anxiety and surprise that filled her mind she was cold as ice in her manner. She suggested the lofty disdain of a person forced into an unpleasant and disturbing situation and submissive only because circumstances compelled it. This much only I knew concerning her—she was a lady of high breeding and the daughter of an affluent American family. Separated, they had been caught in the battle zone. It might be that her parents were dead, for she had not heard from them. Stranded in the city where I myself had been halted in my art labors by the progress of the war, an acquaintance, a native college professor, had become interested in getting her past the disputed frontier. I, too, was anxious to leave the war center of peril. I had a good friend in Beirne—the burgomaster, Voorsl. in fact he was a relative by marriage of my brother-in-law. Few and selected were those who were allowed to leave Beirne, and they practically smuggled out. Honest, helpful Jan came to me one day. "My friend," he said, "I have secured a power, or rather a safe conduct through the Belgian home lines for yourself and your wife." "But I have no wife!" I exclaimed "You must imagine that you have then," he returned. "A friend is in terested in getting a charming and de serving young lady through the lines I have a limited influence. I have suc Gas "I Have Succeeded in Securing a Pass." ceeded in securing a pass for 'Walt worth Doty and wife.' It is your last chance. Within forty-eight hours access to the whole frontier will be impossible. The lady and yourself must go on horseback. You will lead a pack horse with a heavy load. It's to be delivered at the end of your journey. The fact that you are to thus act for us is the excuse for your safe con duct. You will follow to the letter the route marked out." "But the young lady—has she a knowledge of this awkward arrangement?" "I will confess that she has reluctantly agreed to it," replied Voorst. "She is proud, angered at the treatment she has received in the war zone and half distracted with the fear that her parents have perished. I need not ask you to be courteous. Be more—indulgent. She seems never to have before experienced the rigors of deprivation, nor the horrors of the scenes through which she has been forced to go." The restriction that I should deliver the pack horse and the heavy burden the animal carried had something mysterious about it. Now that the nature of that burden was made clear to me in one ominous, almost terrifying word, I shrank and thrilled. For a moment it dazed me. Then I said: "Very well. I will carry out your instructions to the letter." THOSE THAT ARE BORN TIRED World Has Different Ways of Looking at Them, According to Their Station in Life. Out of the words of some modern thinkers those who are "born tired" may find consolation. They are the victims of a malady as incurable as birth itself. Like many other alliments, and like certain crimes, it bears different names in different circles of society. He of low degree is the "incorrigible idler" of the police courts, the "Weary Willy" of the comic papers. More fortunate lotus eaters escape with an epithet; they pass for "dreamy" or "thoughtful" among their follows—the delicious phrase "temperamental languor," was recently coined anent an eminent specimen—and they acquire actual kudos instead of a "week's hard labor" for their lounging. They are commonly great readers, long sitters in armchairs under the light of green-shaded lamps, when it is assumed that they are revolving mighty matters. It was dusk when we started. As Voorst bade the lady good-by, she took his hand and expressed her gratitude tearfully but with warmth. As he waved his hand towards me with the words: "This is your guide and my friend. He is brave and a gentleman," she drew up haughtily and gave me simply a cold, formal bow. It rather nettled me, but I said simply: "I will lead the pack horse. You had better follow at, say, twenty feet." She viewed me with a challenging stare, as though wondering at the arrangement. "Yes, it is best," spoke the burglaster, and the approving look in his eye told that he appreciated my desire to run all the risk—for risk it was. There was a clear half-moon, and the road was broad and even the first part of the journey. I noticed my companion shiver as we diverged into more obscure bridle paths. Twice she urged up her horse and kept close to mine. I saw that the weird loneliness of our environment affronted. "You must fall back," I spoke definitely, but pleasantly. "But—but I fear—I am afraid!" she demurred. "It must be as I say," I insisted. "It is necessary to your safety. You will appreciate what I say when the journey is completed." She did not understand, and bridled. She fell back, but with an offended look upon her face. Twice up to midnight we came upon friendly encampments. My credentials passed us on. At the last place the commandant read the safe conduct: "One Walworth Doty and wife. Madam, I salute you." She directed a flashing glance at me, as if arraigning me for an affront. I met her glance steadily. That beautiful face enchanted me, but I tried to act the guide under strict discipline. It must have been three o'clock in the morning when we reached the most difficult part of the route. Here the road ran along the edge of a cliff. I had been advised by Voorst that the enemy were likely to be prowling about. I thought of that—and of the load the pack horse carried. I increased the space between myself and my convoy. Her angry, yet anxious face resented this. I had to speak sharply to have her maintain the distance. She received it with a pout and a toss of her head. Suddenly, turning a curve in the rock-lined road, there came a quick word: "Halt!" I made out an armed officer. He was of the enemy. Beyond him, 50 feet in a ravine, was a temporary camp. He kept a revolver and leveled at me as he grabbed out to seize the bridle of the pack horse. The animal swerved, threw up its head, curvetted past him and broke into quite a trot. The officer turned and leveled his weapon, intent on halting the flight with a shot. "Stop! Stop!" I shouted. Too late! The well-aimed bullet struck one of the packages on the back of the horse, bored into it and there was a frightful detonation. I saw the officer, struck by a huge fragment of rock, fall prone and lifeless. I saw the pack horse, blown to atoms, go over the ledge into the midst of the camp below. I heard a shriek and ran back to my charge. "You are hurt!" I cried solicitously. "No! No! But you—" and I felt the warm blood trickling from my forehead, where a flying piece of rock had struck me. Then I hurried on her horse and my own past the motionless officer, away from the camp. "What was it?" she shuddered, as we deviated to a broader road. "Dynamite." She started and paled. Then she insisted on binding up my wound with a lace scarf. She kept close beside me. "And it was to shield me that you took all the risk!" she murmured. Within the hour we were safe in friendly hands. All her disdain and coldness was gone now. She seemed to look to me for help. I placed her in kindly hands. Within two days I located her father and mother. She insisted on my taking her to them. Then that I become their guest. And thus it was that out of a great war I won a bride—no longer, however, my dear Lady Disdain! (Copyright, 1915, by W. G. Chapman.) His Reasoning. "I believe I'll go to the city. The city offers more opportunities than a country town." "What can the city offer you more than Plunkville? You do nothing but loaf." "Maybe so. And here I loaf on a fence rail.

"That is what I call going to extremes." Often, indeed, they experience the exquisite pleasure of being begged to "stop working now" for their eyes' or health's sake, and Melancthon himself, after days and nights of intense study, never rose from his bench more cramped than they, for they are really tired. The world holds no such hero as he who, thus afflicted, conquers his very nature and works. As the Lights Dim Last words are a mirror to life. They reflect all spiritual endeavor, faith, courage, aspiration, greatness of motive, beauty of temperament. When the Lusitania sank, the miracle of heroism was enacted. Charles Prohman's last known words were: "Why fear death? It is the most beautiful adventure that life gives us," and Alfred Vanderbilt, speaking to Denyer, his valet, exhorted him to help "Find all the kiddies." These expressions are typical. They are true to the temper of the race in time of disaster. They are a gleaming screen to that immortality nations aspire to attain.—Corpus Christi Caller THE TANK Men of the Royal Scots Fusileers handling a heavy gun in the fiercely contested battle that took place in the ruined village of St. Eloi. HIDDEN IN BEER CASK, SPY RIDES PAST HIS FOES French Officer's Conveyance, a Dutchman's Dray, Passes Safe 'Mid Man Hunt. STOPPED NEAR THE FRONTIER Purloiner of German Secrets at Namur Finally Emerges in Holland From Barrel Refuge—Close to Capture Several Times. By EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER. (Correspondent of the Chicago News) Paris.—This is a story that was told me by a hotelkeeper's wife at Namur, who has traveled considerably about Belgium. After the Germans destroyed the forts of Namur with their long-range, heavy cannon, the Belgians, for reasons which are not yet quite clear, evacuated the place. The invaders occupied the city, made it one of their centers of operations and settled down as if they intended to stay. With their usual precision they saw, even in August, that a time might come when a retreat would be necessary. Namur, at the junction of the Meuse and the桑bre, would be one of the plvots for a line of defense. They hastily began to rebuild the forts, enlarging and strengthening them. Namurrois Go to Work at Last. But this work demanded many hands. The Germans called upon the inhabitants, offering high wages. For a month not a man from the town responded. The Namurrois would die rather than work for the Germans, and said so. So the German military brought a few hundred civilians from Germany, but left the original offer open to the Belgians. There was no work in Namur; the prices of foodstuffs rose higher and higher. Finally one man, maddened by the pinched faces of his wife and babies, shouldered his shovel and reported ready for work. This was the signal. Not only the Namurrols but idle men from all over Belgium came to toll at the massive fortifications. With them one day arrived a Frenchman, who turned out to be an officer of the engineering corps. He came originally from Glivet, near the Belgian frontier, so his French resembled that of the Belgians. He was dressed like a workingman, even to the insignia of the Belgian I. W. W., which he wore conspicuously. His papers showed his name was Georges Bezon, Belgian, thirty-two years old, born at Neufchateau. The Germans accepted him without question or suspicion. Notices Hands Are Small. For three weeks the French officer dug on the fortifications. He did his work well. Then, one day, a German officer, who happened to pause near where the Frenchman was digging, noticed that the latter's hands, despite their coating of dirt, were small and well made. To this German they seemed too small and too well made. He questioned the pseudo-laborer. The latter's replies were satisfactory. But the German felt that in spite of appearances something was wrong about this Georges Bezon, born in Neufchateau in April, 1882. That night Namur telephoned Neufchateau Search among the municipal records failed to reveal the name of Bezon. "We'll get him," laughed the German officer who had laid bare the deception, and he gave orders to arrest Bezon the following morning. When morning came it brought the workers to the fortifications, but Georges Bezon was not among them. A search was made. Inquiries at the house where the suspect had been staying showed he had not come in the night before. All of the efforts made by the military failed to reveal how the artful Georges had escaped. Perhaps some of the inhabitants didn't tell all Head of Hotel Cloak Room Could Make $2,500 Extra, But Turn It Down. Seattle, Wash.—May Steleh, in charge of the cloak room at the Hotel Washington here, is unittippable. If she would take tips she could make $2,500 a year in addition to her salary. "But," she says, "I would lose my self-respect." The hotel management could, "if it they knew. The hatred of the Nazi murroirs for the German is extreme. Next Seen in Licee. the next that the clever German officer saw of Georges Bezon was at Liege. He had gone over to visit a friend, an officer in the artillery. The friend was conducting him about the town one evening. They entered a cafe. At the first table, slipping a glass of bitter wine, dressed as a well-to-do bourgeois, sat the man who had worked on the fortifications in Namur. "Catch that man," the German cried to some soldiers, and he himself rushed upon his enemy. But the well dressed man had seen the German as quickly as he was seen. In a flash he was out of the cafe, around the first corner and had disappeared. The garrison of Liege was all upset and a hunt was begun in earnest. The inhabitants were disturbed, guards were posted, German cavalry scoured the country, descriptions of Georges Bezon were telephoned broadcast. But when evening came and the cavalry bands returned none of them had the desired prisoner, though they had plenty of others who were magnanimously released as soon as they proved their innocence. Were Close to Capture. But the Germans had come closer than they knew to catching their man. From Liege to the Dutch frontier at Esden is about twelve miles. Sentries are posted on the outskirts of the town and again at the frontier. But enterprising Dutchmen drive a flourishing trade by loading drays with beer in Holland and driving to Liege and selling their refreshments. Whether legal or not, the trade seems to be allowed by both nationalities. On the day of the man hunt a Dutchman was returning from Liege to the frontier with a drayload of empty casks. He was passing through the ruined village of Vise, when from the wreck of a house a man rose and called to him to stop. "Let me go with you into Holland," said the man, who wore the clothes of a workingman. "I can't, friend," replied the Dutchman. "My pass is good only for one. Who are you?" For answer the other made the wide French salute with the palm forward and the fling of the arm as it returns to the side. "Oh-h-h-h-h!" said the driver. "Will you help me or not?" went on the other. "Make up your mind quickly. The cavalry are after me. It won't be long before they're here. You know what that means, a spy?" The sympathies of those Dutch who live along the Belgian border are not doubtful. The carter was risking his life, but he did not stop to think of consequences. "Can you get into that cask?" he asked, pointing to one on top. WEALTHY NEGRO EXPLAINS His Man "Friday" Arrested, He Pays Fine Because of Man's Expertness as Driver.

Temple, Tex.-During a recent campaign for diversification of crops in this (Bell) county it developed that, notwithstanding its unusual advantages for hog raising the county last year sent away $12,157 for meat. Forthwith H. C. Poe, president of the Temple State bank, communicated with breeders of fine hogs and then announced in a newspaper advertised, fire Miss Stehle and save her salary and, to boot, sell the cloakroom "privileges" for $150 a month. But the mere fact that it has an employee who actually spurs tips has proved such an advertisement that the hotel can't afford to let Miss Stehle go if it wanted to—which it doesn't. The traveling public cannot believe its ears when it hears Miss Siehle refuses tips. "Thank you," she says of gracious smile, but I do not take them. The Frenchman sprang to the top of the load. "Yes," he called from the inside. "put on the head and hammer it in well. Hurry." German cavalry overtook the dray 500 yards from the frontier. Stop!! ordered the sergeant in command. "What's in that load?" "Empty casks," answered the Dutchman, pulling up his two horses. The cavalry surrounded the dray. They inspected the driver's pass, and found it in good order. "There's nothing in those barrels?" the sergeant asked, as he pounded lautily on the very one where the fugitive was curled. The barrel boomed a hollow reply. If the sergeant had pounded another barrel he would have noticed a difference in the tone. But he didn't. Instead, he turned his horse and the party galloped back the way they had come. Ten minutes later the French officer stood on Dutch soil, a free man. In his pocket and in his mind went some sketches of the German defenses of Belgium. HER FIFTH DIVORCE CASE Mrs. Woodson is Only Twenty-Three and Has an Unusual Collection of Matrimonial Experiences. Kansas City, Mo.—A divorce hearing in a suit brought by Henry N. Woodson, an employee in the cashier's office of the Kansas City Gas company, against Lana V. Woodson, twenty-three years old, five times married since 1910 and four times divorced, was begun a few days ago in Judge Guthleys' division of the circuit court. Woodson charges that Mrs. Woodson went to dances without his consent and that she never had told him of her former matrimonial ventures. All of this, however, Mrs. Woodson denied on the stand. She says she told him everything of her past. Mrs. Woodson got a divorce from her former husband, she said, one month before she married Woodson. She was married the first time in March, 1910, and divorced the same year. In 1910 married again. In 1911 she had obtained a second divorce and married a third time, and two years later took a fourth husband, having obtained a third divorce. In February, 1914, according to the evidence, she and the man she married in 1913 were divorced and a month later she married.

Before the newspaper was off the press the printer's devil made an application for a hog. After that the applications piled in on Mr. Poe until he was fairly swamped. Mr. Poe says that the deposits in his bank have increased $200,000 within ninety days, or coincident with the hog distribution. Antique Maine China. Auburn, Me.-Mrs. Mary B.

NEWS and GOSSIP of WASHINGTON Florists Present Roses to the United States WASHINGTON.—The formal presentation to the United States government of more than 400 varieties of roses now growing in the experimental farm of the department of agriculture at Arlington, Va. took place the other years. They were donated by florists, both amateur and professional, living in all sections of the country. The roses are being grown for the purpose of ascertaining the effect of this climate on the different kinds of plants. Similar testing gardens have been established by the National Rose society at Hartford, Conn.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Ithaca, N. Y., and others are now being established on Long Island and at San Francisco. Two years ago the department of agriculture set aside about two acres of ground in the experimental farm for rose testing. The rose plants were supplied by various rose growers desiring to have different species tested. The testing of rose bushes takes three years. They are examined by experts at frequent intervals during this period and an accurate record kept of their growth and performance. Silkworms and Their Work In National Museum itself a cocoon composed of a single thread from 300 to 700 yards in length. The time consumed for spinning is usually from two to five days. A case of preserved specimens shows the cycle of life of this industrious little animal. The egg of the silk moth is about the size of the head of a small pin, and hatches in about ten days into a tiny worm. Its growth from this minute form takes about a month, during which time it develops into a very respectable worm about three and one-half inches long and one-fourth of an inch in thickness. Upon reaching its maturity, the worm stops feeding, and begins to crawl in search of a place in which to spin its cocoon. Within the finished cocoon the silkworm sheds its skin, and passes into the pupa, or chrysalis, stage. If the cocoon is not put through a storing or stifling process, which kills the chrysalis inside, it will become a grayish-white moth in about two weeks more, and break its way out of one end of the cocoon. Such procedure, however, is allowed only when silk moths are needed for breeding purposes, since in breaking its way out the moth pushes through every layer of the filament, thus making the cocoon useless for reeling, and of value only for spun silk. In order to reel the cocoons, they are first immersed in boiling water, and brushed, to rid them of the loose outer filaments. The true thread is then unwound almost to the chrysalis, but the inner lining is far too fine to be reeled, and is used with the outer waste in the manufacture of spun silk. A single cocoon strand is too fine for commercial use, and is, therefore, combined with several others to make a single thread of reeled silk. One pound of six-ply reeled silk will reach a distance of about 180 miles. Naval Observatory Exposes North Pole's Vagaries THE naval observatory has erected a very curious and interesting machine, whose purpose is to see just how much the North pole falls from grace. This instrument is in charge of Prof. F. E. Ross, who is making the experi- The instrument is a small house on the observatory grounds. It resembles a water tank standing on end, but is ornamented with scientific paraphernalia. Contrary to the commonly accepted belief the pole does not keep pointing in the same direction. Its axis is moving about constantly in a spiral and describes a path which varies at least 60 miles from its true station. Its farthest point will gain 30 miles one side and the same rate on the other, but it has not yet been known to make any wider swing out of its standard position. Its variations are in periods extending over seven years. The pole spends about three and one-half years in swinging outwards, then the same time in retracing its steps. At the present the pole is going on its outward voyage and will take more than a year to complete the trip. One remarkable feature is that these variations of the pole, especially when the variations are erratic in character, are generally characterized by earthquakes. The theory has been advanced that this changing of the pole from its fixed tilt in the heavens is in reality the cause of many seismic upheavals. Be that as it may, there is no chance now that any of the polar eccentricities will ever elude the eagle eye of the star sharps at the naval observatory.

All men who desire restoration are put through a regular course on modeling these trenches in sand in a "sand table," as well as instruction in constructing overhead shelter, zigzag apperches, pits, barbed-wire entanglements, etc., in miniature. After the prisoners have become expert at the modeling game they are transferred to the open fields, where they reproduce the work on the normal field scale. The sand-table work is a very small part of a very thorough three-month course of instruction required to be taken before a man is considered as qualified for restoration to the army. The course includes, also, drills, instruction in target practice, estimating distance and military signaling (flag and seaphore). Many restored men have been promoted to be noncommissioned officers. One of the latter is used to give lectures to the noncommissioned officers in his regiment, while the reports as to character from a large per cent of those restored show "excellent."

Promptly at 7 p. m. at the home of the bride's daughter, Miss Cora Ramey, 1013 Michigan avenue, the bride entered the parlor accompanied by Mrs. Patterson, her matron of honor. They were met by the groom and Mr. Patterson. The Rev. W. H. Thomas, pastor of Allen chapel, read the Methodist Episcopal ring ceremony and the bride was given in marriage by Miss Ramey. Mrs. Gaines wore a beautiful gown of white serge trimmed with the Calanthean colors and carried a beautiful bouquet of bride's roses, while the matron of honor wore a gown of blue slik and carried a bouquet of red and white roses. The house was decorated with the Calanthean colors. At 7:45 the bridal party was carried to the Lyric hall, which was said to be the most beautifully decorated in Kansas City in many days, all being carried out in Pythian colors. They were met at the entrance by Col. L. A. Knox, the Second regiment and Second regimental band. About 200 of Kansas City's representative people were in attendance at the reception.
