NUMBER 8. Black Men, Fifty Years of Masonry By Joe E. Herriford, P. M. CHAPTER VI. When the committee on credentials reported at the Thirteenth Annual Communication of the M. W. Grand Lodge, Macon, August 9, 1879, it was evident that the proxy gathering had not been overlooked during the few weeks previous. Past Grand Master Clark had his pockets quite full of these useful commodities and before the meeting was over he used them for a noble and glorious purpose, even if without the intended success. Contrary to what one might expect from one so capable and scholarly as the new Grand Master, Willis N. Brent, the Grand Lodge was allowed to dillydally along for nearly all the first day without getting down to any formal business. Contrary to all regularity the first active business after the routine of opening was the con gone in resisti Dicksa ing a barrie Mason of this until which cap of ter of Eno spared the c dress the re use.

One of the most brilliant and accomplished singers of the race, who may be secured for a limited number of engagements this fall. sideration of some charges against a member of the body, then Grand Secretary Robert O. Smith came forward with some resolutions regulating the establishment of new lodges. The discussion of these resolutions occupied all the afternoon and evening sessions of the GrGand Lodge without any conclusions being reached or anything accomplished. One would have expected the annual address of the Grand Master to follow early the next morning, but such was not the case. There were reports from committees which occupied all the forenoon and part of the afternoon. The time was even set for the election of grand officers before the plans were laid out on the T. B. THE DENVER LAW. The following ordinance was passed in Denver some weeks ago before the vicious and iniquitous "Birth of a Nation" got a chance to show there. The credit for its passage is due Hon. W. B. Townsend, the well known attorney. AN ORDINANCE. An Ordinance to prohibit certain kinds of shows and theatrical plays in the city and county of Denver and to repeal all acts and parts of acts in conflict therewith, and to fix the punishment for violation of the same. Be It Enacted by the City Council for the City and County of Denver that from and after the passage of this Late in the afternoon the address was delivered. It was a fine production and showed a wide range of Masonic consideration. For two or three years the Grand Lodge had been making donations to the yellow fever sufferers in the South and this year the Grand Master reported fifty dollars donated for that purpose. It was apparent from the address that the relations between the Grand Master and the Grand Secretary were none too dove-like and the minutes of the previous year had not been published, for which everyone was to blame and no one responsible. The Grand Master asked for more revenue, the only source then being twenty-five cents tax upon each subordinate member and a slight margin on organizations. The Grand Lodge appreciated the lack of funds, but for some reason failed to favor an increase of the grand dues as recommended from the East. Among the "decisions" rendered by the Grand Master even before he read his address was one claiming that the holder of a proxy could assign the same to anyone else without the written consent of the lodge. The proxy vote was apparently worrying everybody and it was decided not to leave the hall until the election was held. A recess was taken, however, until 7 p. m., after which the election was began and lasted five and one-half hours with only one ballot being cast, electing Grand Master Brent to succeed himself with a big majority over Past Grand Master Clark, who attempted to defeat him. The old order was dying hard, as may be seen. Moses Dickson was serving as chairman on obituaries and Wm. R. Lawton was dozing in a seat near the Grand East. Matthew Ricketts was not only Grand Registrar, but was also chairman of the committee on Grand Master's Address. A. R. Chinn was figuring up the returns of the eighty-one lodges, but had his eye on the position of Senior Grand Warden to which place he was elected the next morning after a spirited contest. Brother Chinn, in this instance, demonstrated that rare degree of natural popularity which has increased as the years have The Kansas City Sun gone by and which to this day is irresistible. His friendship for Moses Dickson, who was at that time fathering a new secret cult, was the one barrier between himself and higher Masonic honors and though conscious of this he remained loyal to his friend until the death of the latter, before which time he had outlived the handicap and had been elected Grand Master of Masons. Enough time of the third day was spared from the elections to permit the committee on Frand Master's Address to report'. M. O. Ricketts wrote the report and set a model for future use. An attempt was made to locate the meetings of the Grand Lodge permanently at some central place, but fortunately it was not successful. An amendment to the constitution was offered by Brother G. W. Guy abolishing the proxy vote of past masters. It afterwards became a law and was the beginning of the end of the entire obnoxious system. The next meeting was awarded to Hannibal.

KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1915. VERNON-LANDOR. Sister of Dr. W. T. Vernon Becomes Bride of Mr. Edward F. Landor. Bride of Mr. Edward F. Landor. Quindaro, Oct. 1—There is beauty in simplicity and truly was it found in the marriage of Miss Essie Jean Vernon, daughter of Mr. anda Mrs. Adam Vernon and sister of Dr. W. T. Vernon, ex-registrar of the U. s. treason, to Mr. Edward F. Landor of this city, which was solemnized at the home of the bride's family in Quindaro, on Friday, October 1, at 8:30 p. m. The marriage ceremony was read by Dr. W. T. Vernon, assisted by Rev. T. F. Jones, pastor of Allen Chapel, Quindaro, Kansas, the ring ceremony being used. The house and porches were beautifully decorated, a profusion of flowers being used to carry out the color scheme of yellow and white. Promptly at 8:30, to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding march, played by Prof. R. G. Jackson, the party, led by Dr. Vernon, came down the steps following the white canvas which marked the aisle leading to the parlor where the ceremony was performed. Miss Effie E. Grant, teacher of voice at the University, sang with much feeling, "Oh Promise Me." The bride's dress was of the latest design, being a creation of white crepe with a yoke of lace over chiffon beautifully set with rosebud trimming. She carried a bouquet of bride's roses. The matron of honor, Mrs. Minnie Lewis Robinson, a classmate of the bride, was beautifully gowned in a creation of pink chiffon and shadow lace, carrying an arm bouquet of pink roses. The aged father and mother of the bride viewed the ceremony from a large settee just opposite the bridal party. The house was filled with friends and admirers of the happy pair, who stronged about them showering them with congratulations and good wishes. A reception followed where the guests were served with choice dainties. The wives of the teachers and the senior class assisted in the serving. The bridal cake, which was heart shape decorated with yellow roses corresponding with the color scheme, was given by the matron of honor. A number of guests from the Twin Cities were present. The following presents were received: Coffee percolator, Miss Matte Mae Lawrence; chest of Colonial silver of twenty pieces, faculty and officials of Western University; Mayonnaise set with cut glass knife rest, freshman class of Western University; bath towels, young ladies of senior Sunday school class; silver teapoons, Mrs. Felix Landor Washington and Mrs. Rosa Landor Green of Los Angeles, Calif.; bed set with crochet insertion, Mrs. Katherine Bishop; bath towels, Mrs. M.

We arrived at Douglass, Arizona, at 8:50 p. m., and were met at the station by our distinguished Deputy Chaplain, Geo. W. Prieleon, and the officers of the two lodges located here and after greetings all around we were placed in the Chaplain's elegant Overland auto and driven to the home of Sergeant Frank Love, brother of the Grand Secretary, where an elaborate dinner was served to eight of H. DAWLEY. on entertainment of visiting teachers us. After a social chat we were taken to the home of our old friends, Sergeant Wetherly and wife, which was to be our stopping place while in the city. To say that we were sumptuously entertained is putting it mild; our only regret being that the Sergeant was absent on duty out on the border. At 3:00 next day we meet Joppa and Olympia Lodges in joint session, after which we were the guests with Sergeant Henderson, W.M., at the residence of Chaplain Prieleou, where we had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Carter, wife of the Chaplain of the 10th. Mrs. Carter was Mary Moss of Knoxville, before her marriage, while Mrs. Prieleou was Ethel Stafford of Kansas City, Kansas. At 7:15 we witnessed the Movie Show of the 9th Cavalry recently installed by the Chaplain at an outlay of several hundred dollars, after which we delivered an address to the men of the 9th in the post Hall. Many of their officers were present as well as many citizens of both races from the city, and our effort was apparently well received. During the day we drove in an auto through the courtesey of Prof. Jno. Beck, along the Mexican boundary and viewed the trenches and barbed wire fortifications erected by Mayorena forces to repel the expected assault of Carranza men. More than 5,000 Mexican soldiers were in camp at Agua Prieta while on the American side were about 7,000 troops to prevent both factions from trespassing on American soil. Harry Langham, one of Kaansas City's best trap drummers, is now playing with the 9th Cavalry band under Prof. Wade H. Hammond, which is considered one of the best bands in the army. Sergeant Henderson goes with the band to the Philippines and the boys regretted very much the loss of Colonel Gulifloy, who goes to the 4th at Honolulu after 28 years with the 9th. On Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock Chaplain Prieleon called at our residence with his elegant outto to carry us to the station, and bidding goodbye to our excellent hostess we were quickly whirled to the Southern Pacific station, where we found many of our friends waiting to give us a fitting send off. Sergeant Vrooman, who has just retired after 30 years of efficient service, brought us two boxes of delightful Mexican cigars; Sergeant Love, fruit and so forth, and we left Douglass with a sincere feeling of regret. At Douglass we met Rev. H. A. Walls, pastor of the A. M. E. Church at El Paso, a very pleasing and intelligent gentleman who knew many of our acquaintances and we had a delightful chat all the way to Tucson, our next stop. Rev. Wells was converted under Bishop Grant; was licensed by Rev. Joe P. Howard, and has pastored many prominent churches in Texas, of which he is a native. (To be continued.) AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS As a result of the sixteenth convention of the National Negro Business league, which recently held its three-day session in Boston, where in 1900 the league was started by Dr. Booker T. Washington and a few like-minded, farsighted colored men, the northern Negro will better understand his southern brother, and the southern Negro will appreciate, even more fully than he has done, how much the South offers him in the form of opportunity to do something worth while, and to become somebody in the life of his community. Out of this better understanding there must come to the race more respect for itself, a greater degree of confidence, a growing determination, especially on the part of young men and women, to begin at once to improve their economic condition by practicing greater thrift, pushing out into new fields of business activity, and becoming more efficient in their everyday business operations. Seven hundred delegates came to together from thirty states, including the District of Columbia. Here were some of the most prosperous members of the Negro race. Yesterday many of them were not only poor in a worldly sense, but they were without any influence for progress in their home communities. Many of these same delegates were hopeless fifteen years ago, so far as thinking that they could succeed in business. The way to economic independence, however, was lighted for them by the National Negro Business league. As men with out education and property, they exerted little constructive influence either on their black or white neighbors. Today how different is all this! The heart-throbbing stories of uphill climb through long years of sacrifice, work and faith, which were told with directness, simplicity and sincerity, under a fire of incisive questions from Doctor Washington and others, would make even the critical and hard-headed citizen marvel at the Negro's rare progress during the fifty years of his freedom, and especially during the last ten or fifteen years, during which time the pace in business has quickened and competition has become keener. Surely a silent revolution has taken place among American Negroes. Some men in congress, years ago, honestly supposed that Negroes would always have to be fed, clothed and sheltered. They were not able to look beyond the days of reconstruction. Today, however, ex-slaves and their children, in many instances, are powerful landlords, rich merchants, level-headed bankers and important community builders. Today the American Negro is a real asset. Today the best white people of the South are thinking of the Negro as a man and are saying it out loud. They realize that education does help to improve the Negro. The National Negro Business league does not claim all the honor of bringing about the splendid transformation which means, for racial understanding and good will, much more to the white citizen of the nation than it does to the millions of colored people. The league has endowed, however, to encourage Negroes to go into business, apply to their work the highest standards, and depend for patronage not on any color-line appeal but solely on merit. The league through its annual meetings has been a rare inspirational force. It has discovered human beings and has opened the way for the young, the discouraged or the inexperienced, to catch a vision of what real In a sermon that he preached nearly forty years ago in Plymouth church, Henry Ward Beecher declared that one of the influences that had most strangely shaped his life and character was that of an old colored man, Charles Smith, who worked as a hired man on his father's farm when he was a small boy, the Youth's Companion states. "He did not try to influence me; he did not know that he did it; I did not know it until a great while afterward. He used to lie on his humble bed (I slept in the same room with him) and read his Testament, unconscious that I was in the room, and he would talk about what he had read, and chuckle over it, in that peculiar, unctuous throat tone that belongs to his race. I never had heard the Bible really read before; but there, in my presence, he read it and talked about it to himself and to God. He turned the New Testament into living forms right before me. It was a revelation and an impulse to me." But for the little lad ten years old, who listened, first curiously, then At the twelfth annual meeting of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools emphasis was placed on the need for training the Negro vocationally. It was urged that this training should result in really skilled mechanics and well-prepared farmers. The United States does more to stock its inland waters with edible fish than any other nation. Overtalk tires more people than overwork. Great European University. Yuriel's renowned university was founded by the headlong warrior, Justatus Adolphus, in 1632, the year of his death. Attached to it are an observatory, an anatomical theater, a museum of natural history, and one of the finest botical gardens in Europe, whose collection contains more than 12,000 plants. Its library, 250,000 columns, is housed in a restored part of the old cathedral. The university remained thoroughly German in spirit and sentiment until the year 1895. success in business means, and how that vision may be fully, if painfully, realized. The league's real work, however, is carried on silently and efficiently through its executive officers who help to organize local business leagues; keep alive the existing leagues, 600 in number; administer the necessary tonic for those leagues that seem ready to faint away; offer helpful suggestions to merchants for reaching available Negro customers and for securing better business methods, and keep, through the press, the best interests of the Negro in business before the American public. Doctor Washington summed up the progress of Negroes in business and indicated that hundreds of thousands of opportunities in business await Negroes who are ready to grasp and capitalize them. That the Negro in business must pay the price of success Doctor Washington frankly admits. That the South is clearly the field for the Negro to make his greatest gains is evident from the testimony of Negroes from the North and the South, as well as from such Southerners as the Rev. Dr. John E. White of Atlanta, Ga., and Dr. James Hardy Dillard of Charlottesville, Va., president of the Jeanes fund and director of the Slater fund. That Negroes in business, especially the women, are going ahead with a tremendous stride and are meeting with the co-operation of the best white people everywhere should prove encouraging even to those who are inclined to be pessimistic over segregation legislation, lynching and other handicaps.—William Anthony Aery, in Chicago Daily News. There live in Birmingham today many families of Negroes who have been our family friends always, and as we go to their homes we find pictures of "the old white folks" hung conspicuously on their walls, writes Mrs. J. B Reid in the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald. These remind us that the true type of Negro stands by his white friends today, and the whites value that respect and that friendship as a token of justice one to the other. Wherever we can help each other we are only creating a better world, and that is what progress is working for today. The Negro is striving to make his share of it better like the rest of us. Their homes have a peculiar advantage, and they are availing themselves of the privilege. As they serve in the homes of the white people they catch the phase of life that teaches homemaking; they have the opportunity to study home arrangement, housekeeping economy and good cooking, and the ambitious class is taking these lessons home with them, and are making themselves more comfortable, more cleanly and more healthy, thus better citizens. The Negro teachers are preparing for better service among the parents and children of their race. Booker T. Washington, the leader of the race, is ever on the alert to give opportunity, and in so doing is conserving the interest of both races. The entire plant of a Pennsylvania asphalt block manufacturing concern is mounted on freight cars so that it can be taken wherever there is work for it to do. Unrequited love is one brand of heart failure. But it's never fatal. thoughtfully, to the poor old Negro's devout reading of the Bible, the name of Charles Smith would never have been mentioned beyond his own narrow circle. It is probable that his emotional religion was sometimes actually ridiculed by those who knew him. Had Charles Smith been told that he would bear an influential part in making one of the most famous of American preachers, that his name would be mentioned with reverence in one of the greatest of American churches, and be revived for praise and commendation after forty years, such a result would have seemed to his simple mind quite incredible. It is not unlikely, either, that some humble, unpretending Christian was cheered and encouraged by Mr. Beecher's recital of the incident that day, and that new impulses were started, quite as important and far-reaching as the original one. To many readers of these lines, too, the story will come with a fresh suggestiveness, and the simple faith of a plain, unlettered man may thus influence other lives that Charles Smith never could have dreamed of touching.

M Showing the Direction of the Millinery Wind A design in a dress and coattee for a little girl, which may be successfully made up in any sort of material is shown here. As pictured the dress is of Irish poplin with a border of ottoman silk in a wide bias band about the bottom of the skirt, and a jacket of the same silk as the band. But the model is just as well adapted to many of the new cotton fabrics. It might be developed in cotton gaberdine for the dress, and cotton corduroy for the jacket, in any of the light, staple colors that these new fabrics are made in. As shown in the picture the skirt is set on to a belt of the poplin which is also the belt of the plain bodice. The bodice has a small yoke, opening at the neck in a shallow "V" and finished with little, buttonholed scallops. The coat is cut with long shoulders. Showing the Direction Here are two pretty dress hats which show which way the millinery wind blows. As to trimming it points to simplicity, but as to shape it continues to blow "every which way." In materials hatters' plush, velours and combinations of velvet with other materials are in steady demand and such combinations appear in these two hats. At the top the pictureque shape is of velvet and plush, the velvet appearing on the upper brim and in a wide flange against the plush facing. The top crown is of velvet. A wide, handsome fallie ribbon is laid in folds about the side crown and the ends are joined at the right of the front. Here an odd feather ornament is posed at an equally odd angle. Sprays of fine feathers, which look like frost-covered twigs, spring from a big cabochon of feathers and dance in every breeze that blows. At the left, a ball and tassel of silk, fastened against the crown, give this model more than the usual allowance of ornament. The brim in this shape is very irregular and the crown is eccentric in shape but both are made on good and FRIENDSHIP BRACELET A FAD Pretty Idea Which at Once Met With Recognition and Is Spreading Among Young People. There is a fad among young people for so-called "friendship" bracelets. Each of her friends, of either sex, furnishes the girl who is starting her bracelet with one flat link, upon which his or her initials are engraved. Then the links are slipped on to a flat velvet band and tied with a bow. and short sleeves and is lined with the poplin. This is used also for the turnback cuffs and collar and appears in a pliping about the edges of the little garment. Small pink frogs form the single fastening. A girdle is worn with the dress. Among other pretty models for the little miss are full skirts of plaid material confined at the waist with several rows of shirring and set onto a plain belt of the plaid. Wide suspenders made also of the plaid material are set onto the belt. Such skirts are finished with a plain, three-inch hem and are only moderately wide. They are worn over thin blouses made of batiste or organdie or other sheer material. Short top coats or jackets of plain woolen goods, matching the dominant color in the plaid skirt, are worn with them. Together they make a smart looking outfit for the little girl. of the Millinery Wind becoming lines. Such shapes are not universally becoming, but when they do suit the face, they seem made especially for the wearers. Below is a French sailor with the brim widened at the left front, which is an indication of the privilege accorded to brim by the mode. They do all sorts of unexpected things. The brim is of hatters' plush faced with velvet and has a narrow velvet binding. The top crown is soft and of velvet. This hat, becoming to almost every face, has a band of the new, brilliant flitter-jet about the side crown. The sequins are small and set very thick, overlapping one another in a mass of brilliant scales. Two long "feelers" spring from a small oblong body of the flitter-jet, the little sequins or spangles extending a little way on each one. Two of the odd, stiff ornaments are set at the back—one on each side of it. The hat would be prettier without these, and measured by the season's standards would be amply trimmed. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. or have a clasp which the girl herself has made, with her own initials engraved upon it. Many dealers furnish the links from 25 cents up, according to size, material and weight, engraving the initials free of charge. If desired, one may have the links fastened together by little rings, doing away with the velvet band. It is believed by the superstitious that a mole in the hollow of the cheek denotes a quarrelsome disposition IN WASHABLE LINGERIE MANY CHARMING AND PRACTICAL DESIGNS SHOWN. French Ideas Improved Upon by American Makers of Underwear --All Kinds of Laces Have Sanction of Fashion. The best of French ideas have been adopted by American designers and transferred into washable lingerie. Such a display of charming and practical conceits are glimpsed in the lingerie field that each one seems prettier than the other. It is gratifying to note that even in the moderate-priced undergarments the quality is not sacrificed for the benefit of cheaper show trimmings and workmanship. Laces of all kinds are used on feminine underapparel, Valendiennes, binche, fancy net laces, milan and ribbon laces such as bruges, are amply used. Openwork embroidery in English and Madeira styles in the form of motifs, wheels and flowers meet in various ways with lace trimming. Little tiny plats alternating with handmade openwork are features of the white lingerie, which does not permit of a touch of color to mar its snowy fairness. The newest lingerie is of silk volle trimmed with a succession of frills and footings. A nightgown trimmed with ribbon threaded through puffs of net in empire style had rather wide satin ribbons used to draw the tucked upper part together and relied more upon the grace of outline and daintiness of material for its charm than upon any adornment of lace. Nightrobes of lustrous pussy willow taffeta are made in redingote style, trimmed simply with bows of ribbon and picot edging. A row of large eyelets just below the bust and another row just below the knees allow wide ribbons to be drawn through and tied in bow knots. Deep square scallops at the hem finish the rather full skirt portion. Almost all the chemises have removable shoulder straps. They are made shorter than usual and have gained in width what they lost in length. KEEPS CUSHION IN POSITION Device Does Away With Difficulties That Every Housekeeper Has No Doubt Encountered. A cushion at the back of an ordinary dining room chair is another com- A fort, especially so with a chair the back of which is composed solely of wood, but it is difficult, if not almost impossible, to keep a cushion in position in a chair of this description, as the least forward movement of the occupant of the chair causes the cushion to slip out of place; then again, if one sits at a table with back to the fire, it is often a comfort to have something over the back of the chair. In this little sketch we illustrate a way in which this difficulty may be met, and it is a notion that can be carried out with any ordinary cushion already in existence. It merely consists of sewing a piece of material, about the same size as the cushion, but a trifle longer, to one edge of it. To the end of this piece of material ribbon strings are sewed, and on either side of the lower edge of the cushion ribbon strings are also attached. Diagram A, on the right of the illustration, expla's this, the cross indicating the large tab of material which is allowed to hang down behind the back of the chair and then secured in position by tying the rib- PUMP CLINGS TO THE FOOT Model of 1915 Has at Least One Good Thing That Can Be Said in its Favor. There is one pleasant thing about the pump of 1915. If the foot is once persuaded to squeeze through the narrow ankle opening it is likely to stay in place. And really this new pump is not so difficult to get into. A shoehorn is absolutely essential. But then, even a plump cut out over the instep ought always to be adjusted with the help of a shoehorn. And as for toe room, there is as much of that in these new pumps as there is in any of the season's shoes. Although they are all cut on an apparently narrow last, they are quite comfortable. Many inexpensive little shoehorns are sold, and one might well invest in several of these, so that one will always be on hand. So with handles that are shoe buttoners are sold in little leather cases. The handles fold shut and so make the shoehorn very small and compact. The cheap- UNDERWOOD UNDERWOOD French Modiates Were so Charmed With the Pantaleite Idea (Although they Were Worn Way Back in 1863) That They Decided to Adopt It and Worked Out This Charming Model for Fall Wear.

The Pantaloons and Waist Are Combined. The Material Used is Black Broadcloth Trimmed With Russian Fitch. bon strings together. This is shown accomplished in diagram B. The tab should be made of the same material as the cushion is covered with, a similar design may possibly be worked upon it, and it should be lined with soft silk and edged with a silk cord. EDICTS OF FRENCH MODISTES Likelihood of a Return to the Small Waist—The Latest Thing in Dance Pottlecoats. The French designers say hips are still flat, and there is no sign of a curve in them, but the normal waist line may lead to the small waist, which in turn, will call for rounding hips. Designers show a desire to revert to the Louis V fashion of the small elbow sleeve, with its deep ruffle of lace. Quite the latest thing in dance petticoats are the loose-scalled, or petal-floored skirts, as they are called. The petticoat is of organdle, in sheath model to the knee. From it depends a flounce of scallops or petals six inches wide, gathered full enough to hang close together, though each scallop is trimmed all the way around the flounce by a beading through which the ribbon is run. The flouces are of dotted Swiss lace and insertion trimmed, of dainty shadow embroidery, in dainty ruffled net, and in lace medallions, with lace insertion and edging. Two other new petticoats worth mentioning are the ones in plaque and satine. They have darts enough to fit well without being bulky, and are finished with six-inch embroidered or tucked ruffles at the bottom. Their special appeal is that they are not transparent under thin gowns. Frock for Girls. For little girls there is no more popular or becoming style than the plated tunic frock with smart little raglan sleeves, the flat kilt held to, the figure at the waist by a fairly wide black patent belt, while practicability as well as a dainty finish has been studied in the adjustment of the white pique collar and cuffs, so disposed they can easily be removed for washing purposes. Coats Button High. Many of the coats are being made to button up high on the chest, with deep collars at the back. This will permit the stoles of fur to fall gracefully on either side, and not necessarily to be drawn up very high to the throat. Rivals of Serge. Gaberdine and woolen duvetyn are rivals of serge and velvet, but silk often displays velvet checks and stripes, and skirts of this would accompany a plain velvet bodice. Optimistic Thought. Always remember that birds of a feather flock together. est of the.e costs less than 20 cents. It is small enough so that it could be easily carried in the handbag. Crinoline Facings. Crinoline facings are a feature of many of the new dance frocks. These supports are used for the overkirts; Tulle-made frocks depend upon cored hems for their extended effects. Princess underslats of satin in pale colors are being brought forward. These are for wear under dancing frocks made of tulle, net and lace. Flesh colors, white and black are the preferred all-one-color modes, but striped and brocaded silks and satins are draped with airy white tulles--after the fashion of the 1795 period, lashes are boned and girdles are growing broader.

G. Mitchell. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (BY E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course, the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago). LESSON FOR OCTOBER 24 ELISHA'S HEAVENLY DEFENDERS. LESSON TEXT-II Kings 68-23. GOLDEN TEXT—The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them—Ps. 34.7. A map is useful in teaching this lesson. The events occurred during the revolution which resulted in the extermination of Jezebel and her brood. Dothan, a small walled town, was about ten miles north and slightly east of Samaria, the capital of Israel, and in history is connected with Joseph (Gen. 37). Damascus was the capital of Syria. 1. Danger, vv. 8-13. Jehoram, king of Israel, cleaved to the sins of Jeroboam and of Ahab, his father. In Judah, Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, married Aalthiah, the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel. General Jehu, famous for his driving, was soon to become king of Israel. The king of Assyria, being otherwise engaged, allowed Syria, the constant enemy of Israel, to make a fresh attack unhindered (v. 8). Elisha, the patriot, the "man of God," proves to be Israel's real safety. Elisha has not left us great revelations like Isaiah and other prophets, but he knew from day to day God's will, and he has power with him so that he could warn his people of impending danger. He had what the king and the people both lacked, a vision of God. He saw the needs and dangers, but also the resources at his command. Thus he delivered Isreal many times (v. 10). We, too, are thus frequently delivered, let us praise God. The underlying reason for Israel's danger was its neglect of the word of God, and the same can be said as explaining the defeat of the Syrians. True patriotism combines vision and warning. The king of Syria, like countless other despots, knew not friend from foe, but evidently he had one, retainer who told him the truth (v. 12). Some have suggested that this was Naaman; perhaps it was a captive Israelite. In either case it suggests God's knowledge of us. (See Ps. 139:1-10.) II. Defense, vv. 14-18. It was not a mere guerrilla detachment sent to Dothan to capture Elisha before making the main attack upon Samaria, but a well-officered army. Elisha meant more to them than did the king of Israel. The servant of Elisha had risen early and saw only the hills surrounding Dothan, upon which was "a host with horses and chariots round about the city" (v. 15), and in consternation he exclaims: "Alas, my master, how, shall we do?" Again we are impressed with the vision of Elisha and the lack of it on the servant's part. Elisha saw what the servant could not see; walking by faith he was not arghitted (John 14:1; Phil. 4: 6; 7; Isa. 12:2; Ps. 56:3). In response to Elisha's prayer the servant's eyes were opened, yet he was not one whit more safe than before (v. 17). It is a striking contrast here with the Elisha of chapter 2:10. It is a suggestion of the Christian annotated by the Holy Spirit and that of the saved sinner before that experience. Our eyes need to be opened to see that "they that be with us are more than they that be with them" (v. 16). We need to see God's love, power and wisdom in nature, providence and grace. There is nothing incredible or unscientific in this experience. It is a rational and a glorious belief that Providence is working in our behalf through the unseen power of the Holy Spirit, the power of prayer and the answers thereto. The unseen is gloriously real. III. Deliverance, vv. 19-23. In the first section we are taught the danger of a lack of vision. In the second section the emphasis is upon the need of a vision, whereas in this there is presented the use of a vision. To crystallize vision into experience is a difficult task for us all. Elisha prayed Jehovah, for whom he was acting, to smite the Syrians with blindness. This was not for vengeance, but (a) to teach the Syrians who the true God is (b), to lead Jehovah, the king, to go to Jehovah for help, and (c) to deliver the people from the raids of the Syrians. This word "blindness" (v. 18) conveys the idea of dazzling, visual bewilderment, hallucination and not of total loss of sight, thus making it easy for Elisha to lead them as he willed (v. 19). Mentally bewildered as a result of their physical aliment they failed to recognize the prophet. He did not deceive them, for they at last "found him" when he led them into Samaria and once more they could see. Within the walls of Samaria Elisha's prayer is again answered, their sight restored (v. 20) and they find themselves at the mercy of Israel's king. The older and wiser man Elisha, forbids the younger, the king, to use his advantage (vv. 21, 22), but rather to heap coals of fire upon their heads by setting before them food (Rom. 12; 20, 21); within his power, such acts could not be attributed to fear. "Great provision" was made and after their departure we read, "so the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel" (v. 23). Elisha taught the Syrians the lesson of the power of Jehovah, and the dangerous position of those who refuse to see in him what he really is. There are here presented three principal lessons. (1) The foolishness of seeking to circumvent 'God' or of thwarting his purposes. (2) The protecting-care God is constantly exercising over those who put their trust in him, and in his boundless resources. (3) The lesson of making the right use of prayer and the answers which we receive, and to be unmagnanimous to our enemies. God honored Elisha's prayer because Elisha acted according to God's Word (I John 3:22; Prov. 28:9). eee ey SS a SOAP Riedie 1 AL LATAG VAR APERAL SP AAD NGmetoRt S8 RR ZA Ais q SSS ; Ke Lae ie Be — Yee J CAN WO f Plans for New Public Buildings Are Deferred WASHINGTON The tone réndng plans fr construction of new vais for the state, {ustice and commerce departments, south of Pennsylvania avenue, between Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets northwest, will not be departments now occupy leased buildings.

In the spring of 1900 the perilous situation of the members of the American legation at Peking, and their complete isola- tion in the midst of a murderous population demanded prompt action for their relief. The commandant, division of the Philippines, was instructed by cable, June 6, 1900, to send at once a regiment of infantry to Taku, and Maj. Gen, Adna R. Chaffee, U. S.

He looked not so much like an old man as like one who had recently been through a severe sickness. There were deep lines in his cheeks and myriad little wrinkles around his eyes, while the skin hung loose and flabby on his neck and his complexion was of a grayish pallor.

He is just home from Ger- many.” “Then you are a soldier?” I asked, as I shook hands with him. “Not yet," he replied. “The govern- ment has given me fifteen days’ leave before I join my regiment.” “Auguste has done his service,” said Madeleine. They were all very proud of their cousin and stood close around him in a little circle. “But yes,” sald Auguste. “I did my three years before I went to Germany, and I have been home every year since for my two weeks’ training.

Dr, H. Barrington Cox of Bedford Hills, N. ¥., has invented a compact and ‘efficient wireless receiving and sending apparatus which may be strapped about the waist and safely hidden in the folds of a cloak #0 that ft would be invisible to an un- suspecting person. The sending ap- paratus consists of a box in which yee is 4 Ph co are five dry cells and a vibrator. The electric pulsations are started by tap- ping a telegraph key, and the currenc which the doctor says :f modified with ‘a hidden transformer of his invention, sends out its messages in waves long and short. The equivalent to a halt watt or one-eightieth as much as 13 required for the ordinary electric light bulb {s the amount of electricity necessary, From the box projects a wire. In warfare use this wire is car- ried down the leg of the soldier, and connected with a metal plate or spur in the shoe, ‘The receiving instru- ment consists of a drum about which {s a coll of wires.

Fig. 6 shows how the lapped ends should be sewed with a double row of stitching, also how to slip the ‘bands over the frames, one at a time and fasten them to the sticks with tacks.

A turban of red cloth sup- plies the finishing detail. Did you ever hear of this method of fortune-telling? The guests are sent one at a time to a tent in a cor- ner of the room where a witch hands them a mirror, which upon being breathed on tells what the future holds forth for them. Thiz is how the trick is done. The witch writes the fortune upon the mirror with French chalk, then rubs it off with a handkerchief so no trace of the writing can be seen. When the mir. ror is breathed upon, the molsture makes this writing reappear. Pinning the tail upon the witch's cat {s lots of fun. Upon a sheet ot large piece of wrapping paper make 1 drawing of a witch astride of her yA Bt i broom, with her cat seated behind her. The sketch in Fig. 3 will help you in drawing this. Use black crayon or charcoal. Prepare short pleces of clothesline with a small safetypin sewed to one end, as shown in Fig. 4, for tails. Blindfold the guests, one at a time, and start them across the room to pin ‘the tail upon the cat, For choosing partners for supper, ‘give each boy a card with a name written upon it with ink made of bak- ing soda and water, The cards will appecr blank, because the writing will not be visible, but direct each boy to pass his card over tho flame of a candle and when this is done he will discover his partner's name written in brown upon the card.

ARRANGE WITH ARRANGE WITH THE SUN FOR FREE TRIAL H. A. MANUFACTURING CO., IRA C. HUBBELL, Pros. 4961 Wornall Ed., KANSAS CITY, MO. The TEMPTRESS BY H. M. EGBERT (Copyright, 1915, by W. G. Chapman.) The little Welshman and Van Trevor looked at each other in the rich man's library. The little Welshman was obviously in need of a job. Van Trevor thought. A sense of compassion rose up in him as he inspected the shabby figure. "Well, Mr. Evans?" he inquired blandly. "I have come with reference to that advertisement for a man to catalogue your books," said Evans. His heart was thumping madly; he was desperately afraid Van Trevor would see his need and cut down the salary. "You are acquainted with the classes, I believe?" inquired Van Trevor, "Yes, sir. I studied Greek and Latin at Cardiff university. I know French and German, a little Hebrew, some Spanish—" Van Trevor extended his hand cordially. "My dear fellow, that is satisfactory," he said. "The work should last about three months. You understand it is not permanent, of course?" he added. "I only need it for the summer, sir," replied the little Welshman. "I am studying at the Theological seminary. I have a means of working off our board after the term begins." He hesitated. The use of the plural form had betrayed what he had not been anxious to reveal. "My wife and myself," he explained, hesitating. Van Trevor nodded. "Well, my dear fellow, about the salary," he said. "Would—er—forty dollars a week be satisfactory?" The little Welshman could not restrain a gasp. He had expected twenty, he had hoped daringly for twenty-five. "That's settled, then," said Van Trevor. "And now, Mr. Evans, you W. F. W. "She's Too Good for That Little Shrimp." must lunch with me and meet Mrs. Van Trevor." Mrs. Van Trevor proved to be a little, vivacious brunette. She shook hands with Evans cordially, and they sat down to lunch in a magnificently furnished room, while a butler served them. Evans was conscious of a painful diffidence. A gentleman by birth, a long period of hardship had made him self-conscious. He wondered whether he was using his knife and fork correctly. The Van Trevors seemed sticklers for etiquette. In Wales one met all classes upon a free and easy basis; here there seemed to be a conventionalized ritual, a little different and puzzling. The Van Trevors drew him out about his wife. "You must bring her to see us," said the rich man's wife, as they parted. Leila Evans' beauty and copper hair was the sensation of Mrs. Van Trevor's afternoon. The girl had been married six months. She had run away from a wealthy home in Cardiff to go to America with the little Welshman. Those six months had been of unmitigated hardship. Her illusions of happiness in the New World were shattered. She loved her husband, but she hated the sordid barrenness of life in furnished lodgings. The visit to the Van Trevors had opened up a new vista of life for her. She clung to Evans' arm as they left the house together. "Dear," she said. "Mrs. Van Trevor has asked me to come to the house every day to act as her secretary. What do you think of it? She is going to pay me twenty-five dollars a week!" Evans was overcome by emotion. "They are splendid people, Leila," he said. "Who would have thought that we should find such good friends in New York? It looks like a prosperous future for us, doesn't it, dear?" Elsie Van Trevor and her husband sat together in their drawing-room after the guests had gone. "What do you think of them?" asked Van Trevor. "She's dear," said Elsie. "She's too good for that little shrimp. Too good altogether." "Poor little devil!" said Van Trevor. "He told me he's saving up for an operation on his ear. He says it's likely to prove serious some day if he doesn't have it done." "She's too good for him," his wife repeated, following her train of thought. "I don't see how she came to marry him. I if have any chance I'm going to open her eyes. Why, he isn't even a gentleman, dear." Elise Van Trevor had gone to their bungalow at the seashore and taken her secretary with her. The little Welshman was cataloguing the books in the library alone. He missed his wife greatly. it was their first separation. Somehow he felt that Mrs. Van Trevor's sudden friendship for Leila bodied ill for them both. But Leila had been crazy to go; there were to be house parties and all sorts of gayety, and later Evans was to be invited for a day or two. Somewhere a bell had been ringing furiously all the morning. The little Welshman wondered where it could be. He threw up the window and looked out. Suddenly a violent pain shot through his head, as if a knife had pierced him. The bell was in his own head. And the pain was stubbing without cessation. He screamed with the agony of it. He tried to stagger across the room, collapsed, and moaned upon the floor, He saw Van Trevor standing over him a look of fear in his eyes. Then through a period of unconsciousness he grew to a dim realization of the jolting ambulance, the hospital, the white-capped nurses, and the sickening stench of the ether cue. He opened his eyes to find himself in a bed in the hospital. His head was swathed in bandages. "You'll do finely now," the nurse said, and he opened his eyes a second time to see Van Trevor at his side. "How are you, my dear chap?" he asked. "By George, that was touch and go, but the surgeon says you are all right now." "You haven't told my wife?" asked Evans weakly. "No. I thought it best not to alarm her," answered the other. Van Trevor never came again through the slow days of convalescence. Evans' letters to Leila were unanswered. Gradually a sickening fear began to come over the little Welshman, a sense of some undefinable tragedy. At last, when two weeks had passed, he was permitted to leave the hospital. He hurried to the Van Trevor house. The butler, who opened the door, stood in his way. "Mr. Van Trevor left a letter for you, sir," he said, handing him a missive. The little Welshmen opened it. It stated briefly that the work had come to an end, and included a check for five hundred dollars. Evans tore the check to pieces and turned away from the house in blind agony and rage. IV. The bungalows stood side by side in their trim plots at the edge of the shore. Near by, at the huge hotel, were music and dancing, and the mirth of holiday-makers. Many couples, strolling along the road, looked askance at the seedy little man, with the bandage about his head, who walked hurriedly toward the bungalow at the end of the row. In the shadow of a pine tree Evans halted. The bungalow was ablaze with lights. He heard the voices of Van Trevor and his friends, and the tittering laughter of his wife. Then came a laugh that made him clutch at his heart—Lella's. Then suddenly the little Welshman seemed to become inspired with a strong personality that had never been his. He strode through the open door into the living-room, and stood there at the door. He saw a look of fear in Van Trevor's eyes, astonishment in the guests', wonder in Lelia's. The little, shabby man suddenly dominated the situation. "Hugh!" exclaimed Lelia, leapig to her feet. "You are ill! What is the matter?" "I have come to take you home, dear," said Evans. Mrs. Van Trevor advanced with mincing steps. "This is Lelia's husband," she explained to the group. "He has been unwell, you know. Mr. Evans, it would really have been more seemly to have written." "Come, dear," said Evans, taking his wife's arm in his. In that moment he saw all the struggle in the girl's soul; the old love and the new pleasures. It was a hard test for her, beaten by the storms of uncertainty. "Lelia is certainly not going away with you," exclaimed Elsie Van Trevor angrily. "This is an outrage! Lelia, dear, we will protect you." With a swift, passionate gesture Evans tors the bracelets from Lella's arms, the pendant from her neck, and cast them down. And, while they still stared at them, they were gone, and Lella clung to her husband's neck in the darkness. "Hugh, dearest!" she wept. "What was it? Why didn't you write? I didn't know you had been ill. They wanted me to get a divorce—O. Hugh, if you hadn't come they would have made me do anything—anything. Keep me! Guard me! Never leave me again!" And in her husband's clasp she felt at last a safeguard against the dangers that had beset her, and knew that thenceforward their real life would be together. His Disinclination. "Come, muh brudder," invited Deacon Hawhee, addressing a stranger who had wandered into the revival meeting, "don't yo' want to jine de heavenly band?" "No, sah; tankee for de bid, dess de same!" was the polite reply. "I done played de tromboon in a minstrel band all last season, and isn't got mo'丹 half muh sal'ry twell plumb yit!"—Kansas City Star. Grease the Nail. All mechanics know that a nail when oiled or greased is much more readily driven through hard woods. Elmer S. Ellis of Pomona, Cal., has devised a receptacle for grease or other lubricant, to be contained in the handle of a hammer into which the nail can be inserted and withdrawn without wasting the lubricant and at little loss of time.—National Magazine. General Omission. People occasionally announce their intention of "summering" or "wintering" here or there, but oddly enough they never say they will "fall" or "wintering" in any place in particular. Ancient City of Vilna VILNA has been one of the most important objectives of the Teutonic drives in Russia. A description of this railway, trading and manufacturing city is given by the National Geographic society. Vilna is a city of 170,000, an industrial and trade center, situated in the midst of a region of tangled forests, almost impassable marshes and lowlying lakes, at the intersection of the railways from Warsaw to Petrograd and from Libau, the Baltic port. to Rostof, at the mouth of the Don. It lies nearly mid-way between the cities of Grodnø and Dvinsk, two other points upon the Warsaw-Petrograd railway. Petrograd lies 436 miles away to the north-northwest of Vilna, and the country in between is a labyrinth of lake, morass, woodland and wet meadowland. It is more than 110 miles from the German frontier, toward which it is guarded by the fortress of Kovno in the northwest. Ancient and Properous. The city is an ancient one, of which fact its appearance bears every testimony, for its irregular ground-plan straggles among, around and over the knot of low hills upon which the city is built in accordance with the traditional almessness of the middle ages. Its streets are narrow and not especially well-kept. It wears, however, a general air of comfortable prosperity; for Vilna sends large quantities of goods to the Black sea and to the Baltic. It handles a very extensive business in grains and timber, articles which it exported before the present war in great quantities to Germany, to Holland and to England. It also has important textile and leather industries. Vilna manufactures considerable tobacco, knit goods, clothing, artificial flowers and gloves. The old town is rich in memories. A mass of ruins that were once a brilliant castle of the Jagellons is here. Vilna was probably founded in the early part of the tenth century, but ... RIVER FRONT OF VILNA is first mentioned as the chief fortified town of the Lithuanians in 1128. It was the nucleus about which the great Lithuanian power grew, and a capital in which the ancient religious service was continued until the end of the fourteenth century. The god Perkunas was housed here in a splendid temple and protected his people in their swamp and woodland until the temple was destroyed ruthlessly in 1387 by Prince Jagiello after his conversion and baptism Wars, plague and destructive fires have played havoc with the city's prosperity and growth. It was nearly ruined altogether in the seventeenth century, during the struggle between Russia and Poland. Russia finally took possession of the city in 1755, after Poland's partition. The Poles of Vilna aided the uprisings against their Russian overtories in 1831 and in 1863, and bitter punishment was administered for this by the czar's government. The native Russian element in the city is small. It is estimated that more than 50 per cent of the population is Jewish, while the Lithuanians and Poles make up the greatest part of the remainder. Something About Kovno. Kovno, the key to the railway system of northwestern Russia, is the central fortress in the Russian northwestern chain of frontier strongholds. It stands at the confluence of the Niemen and the Villa rivers, east of central East Prussia. Petrograd lies 550 miles by railroad to the northwest, while behind Kovno, and between this fortress and Petrograd, the Russian plain is strewn as thickly with lakes as fallow meadow lands are with July and August daisies. Mt. Kovno, Grodno and Lemberg lie nearly in the same line, north and south. The railway from Eydtkuhnen, East Prussia, to Vilna runs through Kovno. EARTH'S MOST COSTLY GEMS They Are the Superb Black Opals, Which Are Found Only in One Desolate Spot. American women were greatly excited over the magnificent show of black opals which the Australian government sent to the Panama exposition. These exquisite gems, which were practically unknown up till comparatively recently, cost more, carat for carat, than do diamonds even, while experts declare that they are superbly beautiful. And in this connection it may be pointed out that the term "black opal" is distinctly misleading. It was coined to distinguish it from the familiar "light opal." As a matter of fact the black opal is alive with myriad shades of flaming splendor, from brightest tints of green glowing fire to meteoric gold or lavender, that in an insant quivers to crimson, or slips into molten ruby or sapphire, as the angle of light alters. Black opals are so dear, not only be and at its terminus joins the trunkline between Warsaw and Petrograd. Kovno is a fortress of the first class, and has been considerably strengthened in recent years. Its main defense consists of a girdle of 11 forts, surrounding the town in an are with a radius of about two and one-half miles. The fork of the river junction is an important feature of the city's strength. Here it is guarded by three forts in the direction of Vilna, one of which commands the Vilna bridge. The fortress is 55 miles from the East Prussian border. Kovno has shared in the expansion caused by the demands of the present generation of Russians for a home industry of sufficient development to hasten the supply of the young nation with the material element of modern civilization. It has developed several important metal industries, and has large factories producing nails, wire, barbed wire and machines. It has also developed a large commission business, and was an important entrepot for timber, cereals, flax, flour, spirits, fish, coal and building stone, products of trade between western Russia and Prussia. It has a population of about 75,000. Kovno was founded in the eleventh century, and, between 1384 and 1398, it was a possession of the Teutonic Knights. Expansiveness of Compound Interests The wealth of the world grows very slowly and the amount of real saving is amazingly small. It, for example, the wealth of the United States when George Washington became president was equivalent to a billion dollars (and that perhaps is not a bad guess), and this amount could be steadily earned a little over five per cent every year since. this gain, compounded, would exceed the present estimated wealth of this country. This means that all the rest of the saving and the gains from new enterprises and a rapidly increasing population have only just about balanced the annual waste UNDERWOOD UNDERWOOD and loss. True, more than two-thirds of the wealth of nations is still the human machine and not the visible taxable property. But the fact serves to show how slight is the annual gain even in the premier get-rich-quick country of the world—the United States.—Carl Snyder in Collier's Weekly. Life in Its Various Forms LIFE IN ITS VARIOUS FORMS. The sea teems with plant and animals, and it has been estimated that the amount of life in the sea exceeds that of the land, square mile for square mile. Animal life is found nearly everywhere, even at the greatest depth; but it flourishes best at or near the shore. On the other hand, plant life seems to be absent over the bottoms of the ocean basins, but plentiful at the surface, where the sunlight plays an important part in its growth. When Death Supervenes. Indicating that the old and the young are most subject to the call of death, the Springfield (III.) survey of the Russell Sage Foundation shows that in 1910 in that city 140 infants died to each 1,000 infants less than one year old, 67 died to each 1,000 more than sixty-five years old and only seven died to each 1,000 from twenty-five to forty-four years of age. Anxious to Please. "So you are expected to do a kind act every day?" "Yes," replied the boy scout. "How about today?" "Well, the teacher has been having a little trouble with me. Don't you think I might stay away from school and give her a rest?" New Zealand has only one town with a population of more than 100,000. cause they are so beautiful, but because they are so rare. They are found only at one spot, a comparatively small tract of ground in New South Wales, adjoining the Queensland border. The field is called Lightning Ridge. It is a wild and desolate spot. The nearest towns to it are Walgett and Collardendabri, and it is about 500 miles from Sydney, as the crow flies. Black opal mining is about the biggest gamble extant. There is really nothing to guide the miner in selecting a likely spot. The work is hard. The shafts average 40 feet in depth, and all rock has to be "bucketed" to the top. Water is scarce, food almost unobtainable. On the other hand, the prospector who is lucky enough to stumble upon a "pocket" of fair-sized, flawless stones reaps a fortune forth with—Pearson's Magazine. Get Wrong Impression. "A heap of unhappiness." remarked Uncle Eben. "is due to de way a girl figures out de chance of a man's being a good pervider by his willingness to buy ice cream soda." CARE OF THE TABLE LINEN Its Life May Be Materially Lengthened If it Is Always Handled Properly. Careful housewives who fear the effects of fruit stairs on their best table linen often lay it aside during the fruit season and use in its place table squares with the square dollies or the round table coverings with the round dolles to match. These are chosen of fine linen or patterned damask, preferably with the scalloped edges or the simple hemstitched hems. Under them are used the asbestos mats, which perfectly protect the polished table top. Many are using the Japanese sets, made of the cotton toweling. These are herringboned together to make the square cover the desired size, some even having the blue linen knotted to form a fringe. They are pretty and cool looking with the blue Dresden china. The use of the smaller table linen, apparently, increases the size of the laundry, but in reality it is less work to do up a number of the small pieces than it is to wash and the iron the large, heavy tablecloths. Almost all stains are removed quite readily with plain boiling water, which must be applied before any soap is used. Soap always sets a stain. But if the stain is stubborn and refuses to come out for the hot water, then salts of lemon may be applied, and the article should be allowed to stand in the sun while it dries. Then rinse in cold water and apply the salts a second time if there are any traces of the stain still on the cloth. One may also use spirits of wine, ammonia or javel water, which latter must be rinsed out almost immediately for fear it may damage the material. For grease or gravy spots, plain yellow soap rubbed well into them, then the boiling water turned through, will remove them at once. One must be careful with the laundry list while using the small tableware, for the loss of a few doilies spoils the set. HELPFUL HINTS When ironing delicate garments put powdered orris root between the folds of the ironing blanket. A delicate perfume will permeate the clothing. Almost all vegetables—except beans—should be cooked in as little water as possible; then this water should be thickened with butter, cream and the tiniest amount of flour for the sauce. To make boots waterproof melt together two parts beeswax to one part of mutton fat. Apply this to the leather at night, and in the morning wipe well with a piece of flannel. If a magnet is kept in the hook and eye box, it will be an easy matter to pick up the hooks and eyes, and any hook that will not be picked up by the magnet, do not use, because it will rust. Every cellar should have many shelves for the convenience of the housekeeper. There should be one or two hanging shelves. By this means the cellar may be kept in order and sanitary. The Proper Spoon No other kitchen utensil will hasten the labor of cooking quite so much as the proper spoon. Beating spoons which are split or perforated are essential for obtaining light and fuzzy mixtures in the shortest time. The tongs-spoon is an invaluable help in handling hot eggs, potatoes, etc. The strainer spoon and the measuring spoon, which usually come in sets of three, are found to be indispenable after a cook has once become accustomed to the use of them. For one dollar a complete supply of spoons can be put in the kitchen. Walnut Bread. One and one-half cupful graham flour, one and one-half cupful white flour, one-half teaspoonful baking powder. Sift these once. Add one-half cupful molasses in which one-half teaspoonful of soda dissolved in a little war water has been stirred. Then add one-half cupful chopped walnut meats and one and one-quarter to one and one-half cupful of milk, enough to make a drop batter. Bake three-quarters of an hour in a moderate oven. Persimmon Pudding One-half gallon good, ripe persimmons, strained through a colander, with one-half gallon of sweet milk, one teaspoonful soda, one teaspoonful nutmeg, two eggs well beaten, one quart flour or enough to make batter consistency of cake batter, butter size of an egg, one and one-half teacupful sugar, one good-sized sweet potato grated and one teaspoonful salt. Bake one hour. Custard and Spinach. Boil a quart of spinach in salted water until tender and press dry, setting aside until cold. Beat two eggs, add a teaspoonful of salt and gradually a pint of hot milk, stirring well. Add the finely chopped spinach and cook in hot water until firm. Cut in cubes when cold and serve as a garnish with clear soup. Uses for Sour Milk. No sour milk or cream should be waated; put in an earthen jar little by little, until you have a cupful; as soon as it thickens, use it for cottage cheese. griddle cakes, biscuits, corn or ginger bread; sour cream may also be used for filling the cake. Sausages Baked In Potatoes Pare large potatoes and cut a hole in them lengthwise with an apple corer. Draw through each potato a small sausage, place them in a pan and lay a slice of bread on top of each potato. Easte with hot water if necessary and bake until potatoes are done. Corn Fritters. Cut from the ears a plum of green corn. Beat together a cupful of milk two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, one egg whipped light, salt to taste, and enough flour to make a thin tint ter. Into this stir the grazed corn. Beat hard and cook, as you would griddle cakes, upon a coapstone griddle. GOOD ROADS BEST WIDTH OF GOOD ROADS Old Turnpikes, Still Our Best Road- Ways, Were Not Wide—Built for Service and Profit. One of the best roads I have ever driven over was just wide enough for two vehicles to pass without scraping the paint off each other's hubs. I am not sure that sometimes the hubs did not touch. But it was a road that was always in good condition and the men who kept it up seemed to do so with comparative ease, writes W. I. Rose of Iowa in Farm Progress. Some of the old turnpikes, still our best roadways, were not a rod in width. When these roads were built they were built for both service and profit, and in figuring the future profi- ts the builders saw that the wider the roadway and the wheel track the more maintenance cost and, therefore, the less profits. It is a pity that the men who laid out the first 60-foot and 66-foot highways hadn't taken a leaf from the book of the turnipkeeper buildings. If they had we would not have millions of acres of land lying worse than idle along our public highway right of ways. Say that the road runs 20 miles from county seat to county seat. Along its length there will be anywhere from 80 to 120 acres of land growing up in weeds, road grass, brush and thickets where it is not being washed into deep roadside gullies. Why, in some states there is a full half million acres of land that is being wasted in just that way and land in these states is selling anywhere from $30 to $200 an acre! Many of the best and most famous roads of Europe are but 16% feet in width and they handle some of the very heaviest highway traffic. Right now in those counties and townships in this country where hard roads, permanent highways, are being constructed, few of them are being built more than 18 feet wide and a good many of them are even narrower. The railroads, wasteful as they are in some things, are beginning to realize the waste of a useless right of way. THE ROAD An Improved Road in Maryland. A road running through Illinois has its trackage fringed with alfalfa. Some farmers have resented the waste and are beginning to cultivate the land out to the wheel tracks. This may cause a little trouble at times, but after all is it not a great deal better than letting the roadsides grow up in ironweeds, sumac, briars and thickets? Any of our road vehicles needs no more than a six-foot clearance. Figure out for yourself how many farm wagons could drive abreast on a 65-foot highway and then try to imagine any necessity for any such arrangement. On a highway one rod in width there is room for two vehicles to pass with about four and one-half feet to spare. Why have the roads, then 66 feet wide? Some of these days our roads will be narrowed. We have not really felt the pinch of a real land need as yet. When we do, then there will be a sudden narrowing of these wide stretches that are now weed incubators and seeders. In the meanwhile why not make some use of the soil flanking the public highways? Why not seed it in grass and mow it as you would a meadow? Of course the land belongs to the state, to the public, but it is worse than useless. Why not make it give some return to someone? Away With Grain Insects. On the farm, grain and grain products stored in tight bins may be most effectively fumigated with carbon bisphide. If the building is nearly air tight and temperature is about 70 degrees, four pounds of the chemical is sufficient for 1,000 cubic feet of space, or one pound for every 35 bushels of grain. Alfalfa offers one of the best honey-making materials. Alsike is also valuable, as is sweet clover. Right Amount of Roughage. Remember that a little too much roughage will be just about enough. Cheapest Wood. The wood that longest resists decay is cheapest in the end. Good Pasture for Hogs. Hogs cannot be raised with profit without good pastures. Watch Colt's Feet. Watch the feet of the growing colt. ADD SALAD DISHES TO MENU People Today Eat Too Much Cooked Food That Is Frequently Lacking in Nutritive Qualities. It has long been a joke how cats and dogs, when out of sorts, fly to grass or some kind of green food for relief. The animal knows, by instinct what only a few human beings are beginning to learn from experience—namely, that nature has provided vegetables of the leaf order, rich in mineral salts. These salts possess a double power—the not only combine with the acids and poisons in the body, rendering them powerless, but they also drive them out of the system altogether. It is not too much to say that no great mental, moral or physical progress can be made without an ample supply of this vegetable food. Salad is the one ingredient of our regular diet which we cannot afford to do without. Some people say salad is cold and indigestible, but cabbage, if eaten raw, needs only two and a half hours for digestion, as against five hours when boiled! The boiling of green foods destroys the original organic combination of the mineral salts. The blood of a healthy person should be alkaline—that is, the opposite of acid—and it is the alkaline salts in vegetables which bring about this healthy condition. Many thousands of men and women of all ages suffer from anemia, from having lived almost entirely on cooked food. To those long accustomed to highly flavored food, salads will at first seem tasteless, but a liking for them comes with use. Salad should be very carefully washed in several changes of clean wafer. This is essential. During washing the leaves should be well picked over and inspected. Leaves should be torn, not cut. When done, they can be allowed to soak for an hour, or overnight, but not longer in cold water, to which a little lemon juice has been added to increase the crispness of the leaves. The Japanese use the petals of many flowers for salads. Chrysanthemums, stocks, violets, roses, nasturtiums and dandelions are especially good, as they possess strong antitoxic powers. PARSNIP NOT GIVEN ITS DUE With Proper Preparation the Vegetable Should Be One of the Greatest Table Favorites. Do you like parsnips? If you don't, why don't you? If they cost as much as French artichokes—which have far less flavor—wouldn't you like them? Perhaps the reason they have never appealed to you is because they are so common that they are fed to the cattle. Often our likes and dislikes for food are based on such reasoning. Of course, parsnips must be carefully cooked to be really worth the eating. Baked parsnips have a delicious flavor. To prepare them, wash them and pare them and steam them until tender. Then slice them lengthwise and put them in a baking dish, with butter and pepper and salt sprinkled over them. Bake them until brown in a moderate oven. Parsnip salad is made of parsnips that have been steamed until tender, sliced crosswise, dredged in flour and fried brown in butter. Chill them and put them on lettuce leaves and add a teaspoonful of chopped ham and one of hard-boiled egg chopped fine to each plate. Sprinkle a little chopped parsley over them and serve with mayonnaise. Parsnip fritters are made from mashed boiled parsnips. To a pint of it add a teaspoonful of flour, a well-beaten egg and salt and pepper. Make into flat cakes and fry brown. Scalloped parsnips: Mix two cupfuls of cold, mashed parsnips with two tablespoonfuls of butter and cream enough to make smooth. Put in a pudding dish, sprinkle with buttered bread crumbs and bake until brown. White Bread. Into your bread mixer put one cupful of flour, one tablespoonful of salt, three tablespoonfuls of sugar and a haeping tablespoonful of lard. Then pour in one pint of boiling water; stir until smooth and allow to cool. Add one quart of luke-warm water and one-half a yeast cake dissolved in one cupful of luke-warm water. Then add flour enough to make a firm dough; knead until smooth. In the morning mold into loaves and allow to raise. Bake for one hour. This recipe makes three loaves. Italian Mold. Cook two tablespoonfuls of rice until tender in a pint of milk in a double saucepan, with the very thin thin rind of a lemon. Sweeten to taste, add three sheets of leaf gelatin and the yolk of three eggs. Let cook in a double saucepan a few minutes longer to cook the yolks; add the whites, stiffly beaten and two tablespoonfuls of cream. Pour into a wetted mould and turn out when stiff and set. Fine-Grained Cake. One egg, one cupful sugar, one-half cupful of butter, one and one-half cupfuls flour, one and one-half teaspoonfuls baking powder, one-half cupful milk, flavor. Bake in round tins. Put together with jelly. Frost with a tablespoonful butter, one cupful of powdered sugar, little milk and flavor. Put this cake together with whipped cream. Cabbage and Rice. Boll one head of cabbage weighing about two pounds, in salted water until done. Boil, in another pan, cupful of washed rice. Drain, when cooked, of all but a little water. Fry one onion in four alices of salt pork. Mix these all together and boll up for one minute. Season to taste. Original Molasses Cookies. One-half cupful sugar, two table spoonfuls of butter and tard. cream together with sugar, one-half cupful molasses, one-half cupful sweet milk, one-half teaspoonful ginger, one tea spoonful soda in flour, flour on top to roll; roll thin and bake in hot oven five minutes. “The Only Life!” COPPER, 298, by WW.

As it was, the lure of-"‘the only life;” the fascination of the siren-like Beatrice Winston held tim in a’ bal- ance, swaying variously. He had finished up his Business at Rushton and had arranged to leave the next day. Duringvhis stay he had been given a room back of the hotel office, provided with a desk and chairs, for the convenience of those who had dealings with the estate. He had just finished writing a letter as there came a timid knock at the door. It stood partly open and framed ‘a vision of grace end loveliness that brought him instantly to his feet. “Miss Deane!" he exclaimed, his face alight with genuine pleasure. “May I intrude?” she spoke in a pleasant, but half-embarrassed way, as she glanced about the apartment and found it untenanted except for them- selves. “You are very welcome,” he an- swered heartily, and drew up the best chair in the room for her and saw her seated. ‘Then he stood before her, tho courteous gentleman complete. “I expected to find others here,*"bo- gan Mabe! lamely. “Indeed?” he smiled encouragingly. ‘ “In fact, quite an onslaught was meditated upon you by our little char- ity society.” “Tell me all about ft,” he invited expansively, and seated himselt so near to her and looked into her eyes ‘with his deep blue own so interested, that her color rose slightly.

His wifo, wer e's: ter and a brother had perished in a fire at sea. When the first shock was partly subdued, he went to seek her surviving brother. To this man he had entrusted all his business on ac- count of relationship. A second shock faced him. A spec- ulator and a coward, his brothor-in- law had lost his entire fortune in a swindling stock concern and hed fled the country. Lysle Talcott was a pauper. He was crushed. It was only by voluntarily surrendering all he had that he was able to escape the stigma of dishonor. His health broke. Life fiad’ become unambitious. He faced the future, a dumb despair at his soul. Just one piece of wreckage was saved from the collapse. When he had inherited a fortune he had deeded to an old servant of his uncle a little farm near Rushton, Just as the affairs of the collapse were wound up, the death of his pensioner was followed by the announcement that the prop- erty had been willed back to his bene- fictary. Talcott evaded the townspeople when he reached Rushton late in the afternoon. It was dark as he returned from an inspection of the little old farm. He felt more hopeful now, how- ever, for it promised him a co.itort- able home and a living. Curiosity led him towards a building surrounded by a stone wall and aglow with light. It was the old homestead—but how grandly extended and remodeled! ‘There wore lights over its gateway. He had not thought of his random gift for over five years, though often of Mabel. He drew nearer to read the Inscription on a brass plate on one of the gate pillars. It read, “Lysle Worthington Talcott—blessed of atl men, He builded , better than he knew.” s A woman passing’ by halted, gazed ‘at him, advanced, drew back and he saw her face. “Miss Deane!” he spoke tremu: ously. Her face lit up as if by magic, Hor soulful gladness affected him as some rare perfume. He must come to see her father. It was at the Deane home that Talcott learned of the yenture he had practically started, developed by Mabel and her charitable assistants until {t had become a noted phflan- thropie work. ‘Those days his heart took hope. ‘Those hours, when Mabel, reading aright his gloom as well as his awak- ened regard for her, ministrated to his wounded soul and brought to it peace Rak tate Made a Mistake. It isn’t always tho correct thing to be extremely polité, especially in a subway car, where good manners are never looked for in the hustle for seats, says the New York Times. ‘The other day a man and woman entered a subway car and seated themsolves on either side of a woman who was absorbed in a newspaper. Instantly she arose so that the couple could sit next to each other. But neither the man or woman showed any inclina- tion to ait together, nor did they en- gage in conversation. In. fact, the woman who came in with the man fave the woman who moved up a zero stare. Two stations down the line the man got up rather hastily, and alone, without as much as raising his hat to the woman with whom he entered. Then it must have dawned upon the woman who was so polite that she had made a faux pas, for she hid her embarrassment behind her newspaper.

There the two girls went each summer, spending many hours watching the men at work far back in the horizontal shaft which they had dug in the mountain side. In this way. they became familiar with the different kinds of f i i A Le a) , Wa ees Yat Yi ie AG Ne) a we ty ra bale ih ( re 4 = al tm both roan wc ot Of the girls, They nad both grown weary of teaching, they were strong and healthy, they were of an adventurous spirit, and they had learned a lot about the mining game. Why not work ‘he claim themselves? It didn't take tes otter one more than a sec- ond to agree that that was just the thing: it would be a real, sure-enough ‘iark, and as for making a success of it—well, they’ would show the world what two determined girls could do, even if it was supposed to be a man’s work and no other woman had ever attempted it before. The first thing was to arrange for a cabin up at the mine, The tents which they had shared with thelr fathers served well enough in suni- mer, but for winter, when the snow was 20 feet deep and the thermometer hitting the low spots, Protection of a more substantial character was necessary, Of course, all genuine miners work the year round, at least when there's anything to do, and having decided to go into the thing they proposed to see it through to a finish. ‘The result was that they had built a four-room ‘structure, which, while it did not make any pre- tensions to architectural elegance, was guaran- teed to defy the elements under the most dis- tressing conditions of weather. With: true fore- sight, gained by knowledge of their life in the mountains, they located the cabin under the lee of a hill, where it would be least exposed to the icy northwest winds and: would at the same time afford an. unobstructed view of a magnificent Panorama of ridges and valleys stretching away to a line of snow-capped peaks‘more than a hun- dred miles distant. It/should be understood that when Miss Car- malt and Miss Norwood came into possession of the mine it was more a likely “prospect” than an assured money-maker, Evidences of gold ore were plentiful, but the problem was to strike the rich veins which would yield ore in paying quan- tities and warrant the erection of a mill to treat it. Consequently the first period of their stay in the mountains was devoted to a search for these veins, which they never doubted existed some- where back in the mountains. Day after day, through the summer and early fall, dressed in overalls and with lighted candles in their miners’ caps, they burrowed farther and farther back into the mountains, frequently branching of from the main shaft to follow a new lead. Much of this work, in the loose stone and earth, was done with pick and shovel, but now and then they found their way barred by a wall of solid granite which could only bo removed by dlasting with dynamite. With the details of this work the two gitls were already acquainted, how- ever, so the drilling of holes and the placing and setting off of the explosive caused them no con- cern, Then as the work proceeded the passages had to be timbered and cleared of the broken stone and dirt. For the latter purpose a small veins, and the methods of blasting and timbering the walls of tunnels When, later, they fell heirs to the claim through the deaths of their fathers, their first thought was to sell it. But the offers made them for the property being in- consistent with their fdeas of its truc value, they decided to lease the claim to someone who would work it for them ou shares. But here again their ideas were at variance with those of others as to what would be a fair division of the spoils. Incidentally, they proved that they | were not tenderfeet when it came to bargaining with the shrewd and practical mining men of the dis. trict.

In the first place, there was always the great mip spread out at their feet to study by New lights ‘and shadows. Then bird and antmal life wore plentiful, filling the air with songs and chatter; coming to the doorsteps for food, and often Invading the cabin itself. Frequently deer fed around the cabin in the evenings, seem- ing to realize that they had nothing to fear from the two human companions. A couple of porcu- Pines also’ became very friendly and caused no end of amusement by using various means to find a way into the cabin at night. ‘Down by a spring, where they got their water, ‘@ small bear made his home, and several times they ‘ound the tracks of larger ones on the trail.

So the summer months passed, their Ife a busy end @ joyous one, with the lure of hidden riches to urge them on in their work. Then one day, in the fall, the expected vein was uncoy- ‘ered—and the two girls .elebrated the discovery by turning) thetr last cake of chocolate into fudge! The finding of the vein necessitated a trip to Baker, to make arrangements for the construc- tion of a mill and the installation of a stamp battery for crushing the ore. So they locked up the cabin and started on the 18-mile trip afoot. ‘The mill was erected that fall, and while tho two girls-@id not actually put it up themselves, ‘they took an active part tn its construction and superintended the work until It was completed, ‘They, also helped build a little railroad for the ore cars from the mine to the mill. ‘The following spring the stamp battery was put in place and thon the real work of digging and crushing the ore began, But as this work was quite beyond the efforts of even two such Indostrious and ambitious young women, they en- gaged a foreman and a number of men to assist in these operations.

SCIENCE TO CONTROL THE EGG Well-Known Theatrical Missile Can Be Regulated From Debut to Old Age. Eggs, those mysterious coop jewels within the shells of which lle secrets that stagger the brain and threaten the proboscis, are practically ex: posed in a paper sent out by the New York State College of Agriculture at Corncll, says the New York Herald, The article shows how to color the yolk. regulate the odor, restrict the caliber of the albumen, offset evil spirits and protect the American breakfust table. ‘To begin with, a hen should be fed just so In order to have eggs that are dependable and up- right. A hen which deliberately eats an onion usually knows in her heart that some day in the future there is to be ruined an omelet which might have been equal to any omelet ever served. Sull, that hen will eat that onion with no more thought of the ultimate consumer than a farmer usually has, Hens are a mighty treacherous flock of cacklers at best, it seems, according to the late bulletins from Cornell. On the other hand, a hen that has been shown fts place in the coop circle can be made to lay eggs that are of a certain color, size, odor and condition of servitude. Green foods and yel- low corn produce deep color in the yolk; white corn, wheat and buckwheat produce a pallid yolk. Even the season of the year, which has re- mained above suspicion in storage circles until now. may have a definite effect upon the future conduct of a weak-chinned egg. A winter egg is stanch and sound in comparison with almost any one lald in the good old summer time. They act better in cold storage, producing practically no disorder during their incarceration, ‘The matter of cold storage, incidentally, Is more than touched upon. After an egg has arrived on earth its treatment by those who can prove their right to it will to a great extent determine what sort of an egg it will be and remain. Evap- oration of water through the*pores of an egs- shell should be prevented always, and a proper temperature and degree of moisture should be provided Rough handling is specifically warned against, for, after all, even an egg has some small rights. ‘The best way to preserve the integrity of an egg, according to the voluminous bulletin, is by lime water and salt solution and by water-glass. solution. Either method 1s much better than cold storage, which has become somewhat notori- ous in recent years and is, as they say at the egg candling resorts, in bad odor. ‘An unusual feature of the bulletin is its color plates, of which there are seven, showing the candling appearance and opened appearance of the eggs of different quality and at various stages. ‘These illustrations were made from actual speci. mens and some of them were probably taken, for obvious reasons, from quite a distance.

The idea is especially valuable when used in connection with trees that have tall, plain trunks, for the lit- tle baskets serve to break the trunk’s plainness. ‘These baskets are simple in con struction and inexpensive, A number of branches are cut in uniform length: palm branches being used in this in- stance, and the length being 18 inches. These are arranged around the tree about three inches apart and are held in position by wires run around their lower ends, fastening them tightly to the tree. A lining such. as moss is then secured for the bas- kets, after which earth is placed in them. Flowers can then be planted in the earth, While many kinds of flowers may be grown in theso baskets, vines and ferns which hang down against the trunk of the tree are very ac- ceptable—World’s Advance. tow nant Meu Manes: A city may have the reputation of being a “clean town,” and its citizens may be prone to boast of this fact, but nearly any “clean town” would loge self-respect if seen as the work: ers in the upper ozone view it.

From the first Columbia rushed the game and at no time during the game did Sedalia threaten to score. The game consisted of old style line plunging with a few flashes of open play.

TO DEFY THE EARTHQUAKE Matter of Construction of Buildings is One Worthy of Expert Attention. A Japanese professor, who has been giving the matter long and careful study, declares that 99 per cent of the loss of life and property in the fearful earthquake at Messina could have been avoided by proper construction of buildings in this known earthquake zone. No one can question Japan's right to instruct the world in the matter of "temblors." She has more of them than any other thickly settled region on earth, and yet she suffers comparatively small loss of life. Her great recent disaster, be it remembered, was caused by a volcanic eruption, not an earthquake. The architects of Nippon are said to pin their faith to wood as building material, save where foreign influence has become strong. The earthquake resisting qualities of good wooden construction are clear to all, but wood is too expensive to use in southern Europe, and besides, it brings in the other danger—fire. It looks as though those who insist on living where the earth shakes would have to adopt the American invention of steel skeleton construction, or go back to the old Greek plan, and build of stone with good-sized blocks, carefully rubbed joints and no mortar. Steel ties a building together in spite of earthquake shocks; the dry joint of the old Greeks permits a certain amount of yielding without damage to the structure. BIT OF HUMAN WRECKAGE Recrudecence of Former Comrade Inspires Pertinent Comment Concerning Fate. He came to us like a specter out of the crystal freshness of a perfect morning. His costume was comical, his hands and face smeared with coal dust. A burlesque audience would have promptly accorded him a laugh. He was panhandling clumsily. In his eyes was agony and on his lips unspeakable grief. Some of us had known him when he moved as other men, belonging to our world, sharing our traditions, our peculiar diversions, our affection for the work that is our own. His appearance brought a chill, a disturbing anxiety. Whom has destiny marked down for the next spectacular fall? we Inquired, each of himself. He spoke a few words about "going to the source of things." "You learn much en route," he said. Diffidently we gave small coins to him as though it was our shame and not his that he should beg. No one moralized. To point out external reason is so easy and so silly. One goo up, another down—Kismet. The rush of work closed in over the memory of his visit. Yet the stored memory, a picture in strong colors, will come up at times and we will wonder where and how he is existing. He belongs out there, in the alleys, on the docks, in evil bars, and nothing can bring him back. Life, having twisted and battered him so cruelly, will not let go, but continues to drag him, helpless, through his private hell. —Detroit News. TIN HAT IS INNOVATION Designer Puts Forth Many Reasons Why It Should Be Accepted as an Article of Attire. The latest innovation in men's apparel has been sprung by W. H. Whiting of Jonesboro, Me. It is a t hat, with a band made of copper. He fashioned the natty headpiece himself. It is not only very light in weight, but he claims that it is cheaper than a straw "bonnet," lasts longer and is absolutely rainproof. Whiting's tin hat has a luster all its own, something that takes the shine off all other hats. It is more showy than Mambrino's helmet, made famous by Don Quixote. Whiting's hat is made of tin, common sheet tin, the same kind of tin that baked beans and sardines and tomatoes are put in. It is built on a 1915 model and no fashionable youth of the town can "put anything over" on him in the matter of style. It is neat, but not gaudy, a tin body with a copper band, not quite as brilliant as a ribbon with college colors, but more substantial and quite as attractive. At least, it attracts plenty of, attention when Whiting wears it on the streets. Career of Duke of the Abruzzi. The Duke of the Abruzzi, commander-in-chief of Italy's navy, comes of a famous fighting house—the House of Savoy. He is forty-two years old, and is mainly known to the world as an intrepid explorer, particularly as a mountaineer. In 1897 he ascended the frozen heights of Mount Ellar in Alaska, a feat, it is said, never theretofore performed. Two years later came his polar expedition, in which he made a point farther north than Nansen had reached. This was followed by mountaineering feats in Africa and among the Himalayas. In early boyhood the duke showed a fondness for the sea, and entered the Italian navy at the minimum age. He was educated at the naval school at Leghorn, and has had a most successful career as an officer of the fleet, having risen in the service by his own merits and industry. True Heroism. He had been courting the girl for a long time. It happened on Sunday night after church. They were sitting on the sofa, and she looked with ineffable tenderness into his noble blue eyes. "Tom," she murmured, "didn't you tell me once you would be willing to do any act of heroism for my sake?" "Yes, Mary, and I would gladly reiterate that statement now," he replied. "No Roman of old, how ever brave, was ever fired with a lotter ambition, a braver resolution than I." "Well, Tom, I want you to do something really heroic for me." "Speak, darling, what is it?" "Ask me to be your wife. We've been fooling long enough." ```markdown ``` Palace of Fashion and Beauty Parlor Northwest corner 18th St. and Highland Ave. BELL PHONE-EAST 4788 These beautiful lots are 25x150 feet.
