Jones Faction Wins Decision in Chicago Rendered This week, Sustained the Contents of E. P. Jones and Followers, Making Them the National Baptist Convention. Judge Smith Rendering Decision. Chicago. January 10.—A decision rendered in the courts of Chicago today by Judge Smith sustained the demurrer of attorneys Walter M. Farmer of this city, and Wm. Harrison, of Oklahoma City, recognizing the National Baptist Convention of which E. P. Jones, D. D., of Vicksburg, Miss., was elected president. It will be remembered that during the month of September last year the Baptists held a convention in this city and divided into two parts over a charter gotten out by seven men. A majority of one hundred fifty or more votes in the Convention was against the charter, whereupon. Dr. Morris and his followers left the chair and the Convention immediately elected E. P. Jones and an entirely new set of officers. The incorporated Convention led by Dr. Morris got out an injunction to prevent the Jones people from using the name "National Baptist Convention." The case has been hanging fire and the decision today by the court is far-reaching, as it tears down and virtually eliminates the incorporated faction as a national body. The contest was sharp and prolonged. Able counsel represented both sides, but in the demurrer offered by the attorneys for the Jones faction every contention made and the five points of law presented were upheld. President Jones was reached by wire in Philadelphia and expressed himself as well pleased, declaring that he knew the will of the Baptists would be sustained. It is said that this decision puts the incorporated faction to rout It is learned that President Jones will call a meeting of his advisors, consisting of the chairmen and the sec retarales of the various Boards, together with the elective officers to meet in Nashville at an early date SCHOOL CARNIVAL REPORT OUT. On account of the intervening of the holidays soon after the big Convention hall school carnival, thus delaying the reports from some of the schools, the final statement relative to the financial end of the affair is just now available. As stated previously in these columns the attendance was disappointing. In most cases fathers remained away, the children being either sent with the mother or in quite a number of cases alone. Most of the advertising and advance sale of tickets was conducted through the schools, the charity workers having turned the whole responsibility over to the children, apparently. Following is a condensed statement of the finances: The Kansas City Sun Care of the Baby in Winter (Prepared by the Children's Bureau, U. S. Department of Labor) So much emphasis is constantly placed upon the necessity for special care of the baby in summer, when the heat is excessive and diarrheal diseases at their worst, that the fact—that winter, too, has its special dangers for the baby is sometimes overlooked. But the combination of heat and diarrhea is hardly more serious for the baby in the months of July and August, than are cold and respiratory diseases in winter. It is plain then, that the winter care of the baby deserves special attention from everyone interested in his health and well-being. It has been demonstrated quite conclusively that a large part of the deaths from summer diarrhea are needless, because this disease may be cured in many cases, and prevented entirely in many more by the proper care and feeding of the baby during the heated months. The same doctrine is now being applied to the group of what are commonly called "winter disease" of babies and children, namely, bronchitis, pneumonia "dren," and the like, which are, like diarrhea, to a large extent, prevent able by the intelligent care of the baby, and by surrounding him with proper living conditions. These proper living conditions consist both in winter and summer of suitable food, in the right amounts, at the right times, cleanliness, sufficient sleep, plenty of fresh, clean air to breathe, and protection from exposure to infectious diseases. It is chiefly the lack of these two latter requirements that causes the winter illnesses among babies. It is not the cold of winter which makes people sick, ordinarily, but rather the stale over-heated air inside our houses and public buildings, which we breathe and re-breathe, thus passing disease germs about from one to another. Babies are particularly liable to be infected in this way because they spend a large part of their time indoors, and because mothers are apt to feel that to keep the baby warm the rooms must be kept shut tight. A mother should use every means in her power to protect her baby from "taking cold," as it is commonly described. "Colds" are due to a germ and are very contagious, being easily passed from one person to another in coughing or sneezing. A nursing mother with a cold should tie a thin cloth or veil over her mouth and nose while nursing the baby, and should be careful never to cough or sneeze in his face, nor kiss him on the mouth. She should be particularly careful not to use her own handkerchief for the baby, nor sleep with him, while the disease lasts. Many babies contract these colds by being taken up and kissed by visitors, and it is a wise rule to keep the baby away from the presence of people who are coughing and sneezing. The reason for this great care as regards a baby is that a contagious cold is very often the forerunner of bronchitis and pneumonia, which diseases cause the deaths of many thousands of young babies every year, and which are infinitely easier to prevent than to cure. Fresh air is the most effective weapon with which to fight the diseases of the respiratory tract. This does not necessarily mean cold air, for cold air may be stale, and warm air may be pure. The ventilation of most American houses is faulty, since in order to keep them warm enough to suit us we shut them so tightly as to make the air unfit to breathe, after a few hours. To counteract this tendency mothers should see to it that all the occupied rooms of the house are thoroughly aired at least twice every day in the coldest weather, while in moderate weather there should be as nearly constant a supply of fresh air throughout the house, night and day, as can be managed. When the temperature outside is very low, the baby should be taken into a warm room while his nursery is being aired, and at night, his bed should be shielded from a direct draft. If there is a communicating room, the window in that room may be opened, if there is danger of chilling the air of his sleeping room. If the cold is excessive, or if there is a raw, damp wind blowing or rain or snow is falling, the baby should be given his daily airing in a room with the windows open, or on a protected porch, dressing him warmly in out-of-door clothing. He should be taken out during the middle of the day, for a little while, never long enough to run the risk of chilling him. This applies especially to young and delicate babies. As a child gets old enough to walk about, and thus exercise himself, he can be allowed to play for some time in an open room or where he is sheltered from the wind. But an airing every day does not take the place of fresh air in the house, day and night, and to secure sufficient ventilation for health the mother must be on the watch to see that the rooms are opened and the air changed at frequent intervals.

The greatest revival that history has recorded for St. Stephen Baptist church was conducted by the pastor, Rev. Dr. J. W. Hurse, Nov. 28, 1915, to Jan. 5, 1916. Each service was largely attended and on Sunday evening it was just impossible to accommodate the people. The sermons he preached was delivered with much power and understanding and he participated in the greater part of the song service. This great mystifying leader was inspired to start an old fashioned Southern revival in December, when the masses of people were giving their time to worldly merriment and jollification. So deeply was Rev. Hurse impressed that he repeatedly announced that if you will seek and find Jesus it will be the greatest Christmas present you ever received in your life. The all night services of Christmas was a new feature but it pleased Almighty God, and with zero weather and streets covered with snow the people came from Kansas City, Kas., Independence, Mo., and from all parts of the city to witness the sunrise baptism of 19 candidates put on Christ by baptism. The Almighty God continuing to work through his gospel leader and men, women, boys and girls demonstrating that they wanted to find Jesus, resulted in a glorious victory for God's army and a happy, happy New Year for 22 more candidates for baptism. We are proud indeed to say that in this number Clarence Lyons and Thelma Robinson, both students of High School, realized that science would not go any farther than the grave, and they two sought for "old time religion" and were baptized Sunday with the others. One of the most beautiful pictures was the constant companionship that Rev. J. W. Hurse's mother was to him during the meeting. She was ever at her post offering up invocation and singing Zion's song to help win souls for Christ. The Christmas offering far excelled any previous one. New Year's eve brought out the usual large crowd regardless of the heavy rain. Many were turned away that could not find standing room. Rev. Hurse so beautifully illustrated his text and made so plain the word of God that a very intelligent young man and girl came forward and made it known that they, too, had found Jesus and too much can not be said about a gospel messenger who is helping to shape the lives of our boys and girls and improving the lives of men and women and making happy homes. With a glorious victory achieved we rejoice to say that our prayers have been answered and 48 candidates, 37 restorations, making a total of 85 additions to the church. We indeed want to thank the editor of the Sun for the manner in which they carried the program of our revival services. By reading the Sun and looking over the outline of sermons, caused many men to think on their way and some have willingly acknowledged that "after reading I come to see what you were doing in the North end," and today they are rejoicing. May this great editor live long to continue to advertise work of the Master and hasten the time when every member of St. Stephen Baptist church will be a subscriber for the Sun. HOW SALEM TUTT WHITNEY BE CAME AN ACTOR. Colored Comedian Saw "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and That Settled It. The parents of Salem Tutt Whitney, the colored comedian, dramatist and newspaper man, had great hopes for him. They expected to see him a Baptist minister some day. The young man was not opposed to their wishes and would probably have been preaching today had not the unforesoon happened, which made him an actor instead. Salem attended school, and one day while spending the summer vacation at his home in Mitchell, Ind., his mother sent him to the store to purchase some provisions for the evening meal. Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was to give a street parade when the boy was on his errand. There was a band, a troupe of bloodhounds, little Eva riding in an old delivery wagon, crudely arranged to look like a charlot as much as possible and all the features irrevocably associated with an Uncle Tom parade. The band was a good one and Whitney, who had a soul for melody, was so strongly impressed with the music that he fell in line with the parade and followed it to its destination. Ordinarily the lad had a good appetite and never failed to be home at meal time. On this occasion, however, he forgot all about eating and attended the performance, which was given under a tent. That was the turning point of his career, for from that time on the stage claimed his attention. He saw the play and heard the singing and he decided that he would follow the calling of an actor. He had a strong bass voice and he felt certain that he could sing well if not better than any member of that company. ORATORICAL CONTEST.

Christmas day this happy little band with a few visiting friends enjoyed the afternoon around a beautiful Christmas tree here. The tree was set up and artistically decorated by some members of the company and laden and surrounded with presents for all. All expressed their delight and joy joy for the Yuletide as good cheer and happiness reigned supreme in thankful consideration of the manifold blessings of God. Everyone repaired to their rooms in a happy frame of mind to be further stimulated by the lavish and appetizing repast prepared for the guests. It is needless to say that we all enjoyed a very Merry Christmas in Canada. A special program was prepared for December 25, but owing to the illness of our beloved president, Mme. Buckner, it was decided to render the same January 2. On January 2 at Milden, Sask., we assembled in the parlor of the hotel for our regular meeting and the rendition of a very excellent program. It is needless to say this program was very interesting and the papers and musical selections would be a great credit to any organization.

After a most careful consideration of the several invitations received from different sections of the country for the next meeting of the National Negro Business League, we are authorized by the members of the executive committee to announce that the league has decided to accept the invitation extended by the local Negro Business League of Greater Kansas City. The meeting will be held August 16, 17 and 18, 1916. It appears that the Business League has selected a most opportune time to hold their meeting in Kansas City, for as Mr. Fortune J. Weaver, president of the Kansas City League says: "These dates fit in just right, as the Masons will hold their Grand Lodge in Kansas City during the second week of August and the National Medical Association comes during the fourth week." These two meetings in addition to the Business League session, will offer best possible inducements to the railroads to make special reduced fares and will afford delegates to the Grand Lodge and the Medical Association an opportunity to attend some of the sessions of the Business League. The executive committee has also decided that it will be most appropriate and fitting that the first night's (August 16) session be devoted to memorial exercises in honor of Dr. Booker T. Washington, founder and first president of the National Negro Business League. Further announcement regarding the forthcoming meeting of the National Negro Business League will be made from time to time through the press. For further information write to J. C. Napier, chairman executive committee, Nashville, Tenn.; Emmett J. Scott, secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama; Charles Banks, first vice president, Mound Bayou, Miss.

Wilson's thoughtfulness in criticising that light hearted and mirth loving Negro who was so uncoath as to disturb the attendants at the play "On Trial" at the Shubert theater. But in speaking of a representative audience I feel that he omitted the main class. There seems to be a growing spirit among a great number of intelligent Negroes, both writers and speakers, to class the people of their race as did J. A. Wilson. First class, "lawyers, doctors, professors and teachers;" second class, "the light hearted and mirth loving type the kind that frequents club rooms, pool halls, low theaters and lounge around barber shops and street corners." I attended the play "On Trial" and know a great number that attended during the two weeks. They are friends and acquaintances of mine. People of principle, good morals and intelligent mothers, fathers and otherwise. But they are not professional, still we feel juding from these qualities that we are competent to cope with the average professional. I live in hopes that the time will come when the professional man or woman will not be held up as the only first class Negro people; for, everyone can not professional. I also long to see the day when to the first class will be added that honest, industrious, law abiding intelligent Negro that is the making of the lawyer, doctor, professor or and teacher. MRS.

LESSON ot the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) Copyright, 1816, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JANUARY 23 THE SPIRIT OF LIFE. ‘The connection of this lesson with the others of the series is in the fact that this chapter is a panegyric re- garding the spirit-flled life, the com- ing of which we have #0 recently studied, Read prayerfully {a this con- nection Gal, 5:22, 26, We somehow feel that we ought to atudy this entire chapter rather than that portion as- signed. ‘The key to the whole is found in verse thirty-seven, “We are more than conquerors.” If conquerors, how bo more than conquerors? Very sim- ple. Some victories leave the victor 80 exhausted that he cannot possess nor enjoy hia victory; not so the spirit- filled Christian for he is “more’ than conqueror." Previously in this epistle the spirit fe mentioned but once (5:6); In this chapter he is mentioned nineteen times, Over what is the spirit-lled man conqueror? 1. Over the Condemnation of Sin, v. 1. The spiritdilied Christian lives in another reaim than that of the flesh (v. 9). ‘The spirit removes us trom the realm to that of the spirit, quick- ening us (i. , making us alive who were dead in sins) to condemn sin in tho flesh and enabling us to “walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit.” I, Conquerors Over the Power and Dominion of Sin, wy. 24. While we still have the body yet it is our priv flege, through the spirit's power ot work within us, to put to death its deeds every day and each minute (Gal. 5:16, 22, 28). To live otherwise 4s to displease God (v, 8). ‘Those who surrender their lives to the control ot the indwelling spirit are “sons of God” and therefore “free from the law of sin and death” (v, 2), for the same spirit that “raised from the dead” (¥. 11) not alone makes us sons but gives us the same power. As long as we are under laws and ordinances we are “children” (Gal. 4:3 R. V.), but when we live the life ot Mberty in Christ Jesus we are led, not by these outward laws, but by a living spirit as “sons” (Gal, 5:18). M1. Conquerors Over Fear, v. 15. ‘The righteousness of the Inw {8 ful filled in us “who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit” (v. 4) and having received the “spirit of adop- tlon” (1, e., being placed as sons) ws cringe not before God in terror, nor call him a tyrant, or even ruler, but exclaim “Abba, my father." As “sons” ‘we are spiritually minded and have “Ite and peace” (v. 6, Gal. 4:6), IV. Conquerors Over Suffering, v. 48, We are joint heirs with Jesus “i 80 be we suffer with him.” Our post tion and helrship in Christ involves our participation in bis sufferings (Gal. 6:17, Ml Tim. 2:11, 12, Acts 14:22). What we often call afflictions are only discomforts and frequently the results of our own foolish care lessness, But as contrasted with bis glory there is no comparison, Onis eternity will enable us to comprehen¢ what it means to be made perfect through suffering (Phil, 3:10, 11 Tim 2:12, Heb. 5:8). If we are heirs o all God has and all that God 1s, we are likewise an heir just as Christ is and to the extent that Christ 1s ar helr and hence to his sufferings (w suffer with him) though we are ever there more than conquerors for lk him we too shall riso triumphan “over all things.” V.

Robert R. Moton of Hampton institute, Hampton, Va., was selected to succeed Booker T. Washington as president of Tuskegoe institute, ‘Tuskegee, A‘a., at a meeting of the Special committee of the trustees of the institute, The choice was unant- mous. ‘The committee making the se- lection was composed of Seth Low, chairman of the Tuskegee trustees; Frank Trumbull of the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad, Edgar A. Bancroft, W. W. Campbell and Victor H. Tulane. Major Moton will not be installed as head of the famous Negro institute ‘until the commencement exercises in Pee 1916. Until that time he will give his services to the campaign for ‘the Booker T. Washington memorial fund. ‘The new head of Tuskegee has been commandant of cadets at Hamp- ton since 1890.

There arc times when even profound minds find it difficult to give out the fullest ex pressions of sentiment upon peculiar occasions and subjects—when words do not seem to give the significance they are employed to convey. “A great Negro leader has fallen,” “a mediator and friend of his race,” or an active and indefatigable edu cator and industrialist, all convey “Major Moton knows by intuition northern white people and southern white people, I have often heard the remark made that the southern white man knows more about the Negro in the South than anybody else. I will not stop here to debate that question, but I will add that colored men like Major Moton know more about the southern white man than anybody else on earth.” was a remark made by Booker Washington. “This thorough understanding of both races which Major Moton pos- sesses has enabled him to give his ‘students just the sort of practical and helpful advice and counsel that no white man who has not himself faced the peculiar conditions of the Negro could be able to give. “I have seen Major Moton in a good many trying situations in which an ordinary man would have lost his head, but I have never seen him when he seemed to feel the least degraded or humiliated.

White chinchilla appears with ever- increasing frequency in midwinter coats for little girls, and smart sport coats for women. The latter are cut in simple lines and long, like the coat pictured, or shaped like sweater coats. Many novel touches in little detalls of finishing make them interesting, ‘and they are carefully and beautifully finished. These points are demonstrated by the coat illustrated here very clearly. It has a big convertible collar which may be buttoned up about the ears, and the revers are faced with moire plush in black. Very accurate parallel rows of machine stitching ornament the coat at the bottom and adorn the collar, cuffs and pocket flaps.

By means of the glass reflecting frame shown in Fig. 1, it is possible to: make an exact drawing of any picture that you may wish a copy of, and this apparatus is easily made. All that you need for the construc- tion are two boards (A and B), two crosspieces (C and D), and a small picture frame with the glass fastened securely in place (B, Figs. 2 and 3). Almost any small-sized picture frame will do, though one that 4as an open- ing about eight inches wide and ten 1 f A EZ SS es ss [> At f — ZO S[Lev” inches long {s of the best size if you can get it, The boards A and 2 should be about one inch longer than the picture frame, and they should be square or nearly square. Place the pleces upon the pair of crosspleces C and D, with the edge of the picture frame slipped between them, as shown, and nail them to the cross- pieces. To make a copy of a picture, place it upon the left-hand side of the frame, and a piece of drawing paper on the right-hand side. Then, standing 80 that you can look into’ the left-hand | I | Z| ; pS Y Cc Se Dw 2 as TE I GF oA YH) | I AZ ee side of the glass of the frame, you will see the reflection of the picture to be copied, in the glass, and the piece of drawing paper on the other side of the frame will be seen as a background to the reflection of the picture. Keeping the same position, it will be but a simple matter to draw out on the piece of drawing paper each Ine that you gee retiected in the glass, A very simple and exact method of making a larger or smaller drawing of a picture is that known as “enlarg- ing and reducing by squares.” We will suppose that the picture of the rose in Fig. 4 is to be enlarged twice each way, as shown in Fig. 5.

It was eerle, listening there by the light of the electric torch, bur- rowing like a mole beneath the slushy Flanders soil, and crouching knee- deep in water, to prevent striking his head against the timbered roof. He wondered often whether the Ger. mans had heard him. Each side was Projecting a sap against the trenches ‘of the enemy, When the saphead was ready hundred of pounds of gun- powder would be ignited; there would be a devastating explosion, and the trenches, damaged beyond repair, would be occupied by the troops be hind. It was thus a race between the Ca- nadians and the Germans, The sap. extended outward from the Canadian lines, was now parallel with that oI the enemy, and the extremity of each was barely a dozen yards from that of the other. ‘The sappers were resting in the traverse behind. Edwardes sat alone in the water, figuring out the plan. So many yards, so many cuble feet o! timber . . . Milly, in Toronto; his thoughts always recurred to her.

He was flung to the bottom of the sap by a terrific explosion. The plank roof collapsed over his head. ‘Stunned, dazed, ‘bewildered, he man- aged by a supreme effort to keep his face above the water. In a few moments he understood what had occurred. A shell from 4 German 42-centimeter gun had fallen squarely above the opening of the sap, obliterating it and destroying all the men of his company. He stretched out his arms and felt the wall that blocked the entrance. He called in a low voice, but there came no response, ‘The air was already filled with the creeping fumes of the explosive. Ed: wardes crawled back toward the sap- head, He crouched there, consider- ing. He could still hear the murmur of the voices of the hostile party, But they seemed clearer. Edwards felt the earth wall cau- tlously, His fingers touched the damp, impenetrable mass and found no crev- fee; yet of a sudden he was amazed to see a tiny twinkle, apparently in the heart of the ground, He stared at ft in doubt; presently he could no longer deny the truth. In credible as it seemed, the explosion had shaken the collapsing stratum still further, leaving a tiny gap be tween the two passages. And the en. emy worked on, all unconscious of his Presence. ‘The only possible way of escape from his underground hiding place lay through that gap, into the midst of the enemy. Nolselessly as a mole ho began to scrape a way toward the light. But suddenly he remembered that three bombs had been left near his own sap- head, in case of surprise. ‘They could not be discharged until the firing pin ‘was withdrawn. He crept back, fum- bled in the darkness until he found them, and returned. ‘Then he began to separate the par- ticles of the earthen wall. The light had disappeared, but the murmurs continued. Evidently the soldiers were moving, probably at work. He surmised that the saphead had been GET TO KNOW YOUR WORK Self-Confidence and Hard Work Are the Two Big Factors in a Man's ‘Success.

However, a man cannot % eee lived’n tontiitte IF Aiy he athe ei der his hands, though his nails were torn and bleeding, At last the work was accomplished. A thin partition remained between himself and the sap; he could hear the murmurs dis- tinetly, and could breathe the fresher air. He took a bomb in his hand, and with the other forced away the last of the barrier, He sprang forward, Ho found him felt confronting two Germans, One was a young officer holding a torch, the other—a girl! Edwardes, with his arm poised in the act of throwing, stood petrified. He had not withdrawn the firing pin. He could not hurl the bomb now. ‘The German, for his part, stood as if petrified, and the girl remained with her mouth open, staring at him. ‘Then, with @ scream, she ran before her lover. But Edwardes did not throw the bomb, “A truce, kamerad!” eried the Ger- man suddenly. “I am a Saxon. 1 speak English.” Edwardes lowered his arm slowly. ‘The Saxons and the Canadians bad preserved a semblance of good feeling during the conflict; he knew the man would not act treacherously, “You will let this girl go?” asked the soldier, “Then we fight it out to- gether." “She can go.” answered Edwards, “but you are my prisoner." ‘The German smiled and raised his arm. “Listen!” he said The Canadian only then became aware that the continuous reverbera- tion of the cannon, which had been in his oars for hours, had ceased. He knew what that meant, And in a mo- ment the ground above them trembled, It shook under the footsteps of thow- sands of men, rushing toward each other in the fury of battle. “If 1 am your prisoner,” said the Saxon, “where can you take me when your men are beaten?" “They can't be beaten." “Listen, then. We go out after the fight, and if my men have won, you are my prisoner. If yours have won, {am your prisoner.” “If our side wins, you are my pris oner,” answered Edwardes, “Mean: while—tet the girl go!” “But where can she go now?” asked the Saxon, Nowhere! The three must wait there till the conflict ended. Edwardes was disarmed by the presence of this girl who had stolen in to meet her lover. He thought of Milly again, and he realized as never before the sadness of the struggle. All personal thoughts must be set aside. “Throw down your revolver,” he commanded. ‘The Saxon, with a shrug, obeyed. ‘They watched each other. Overhead the sounds had lessened. They ceased. ‘The dull boom of the cannon began again, “We have taken your trenches,” said the Canadian. The Saxon smiled. “March before me! Take the girl on your arm, You will not be harmed. ‘They will let her go. You are for. tunate to have the hope of mecting atter the war,” | “May I tell her?” Edwardes bowed his head slightly. and heard the German translate. The girl looked at him incredulously for a | moment; then she flung her arms wbout her lover's neck and embraced him. She clasped her hands again and looked imploringly at the Cana. dian, “I's all right," said Edwardes, “I have—Ich habe ein fraulein,” he ex- plained clumsily, thinking of Milly. ‘The Saxon smiled at him. “You un derstand, you are taking me to free. dom and yourself to imprisonment?" he asked. “Our men hold your trenches,” an swered Edwardes, in a tone that ad: mitted no denial, Yet, as the pair pre- ceded him along the sap, there came into his heart the faintest fear that the attack had been repelled, But he only squared his shoulders and crouched behind the two, and fol- lowed them toward that gleam of day. Nght that became slowly stronger. Overhead sounded the cannon, louder, more insistently. ‘They reached the entrance to the sap. No one was visible. Dead men and broken arms lay heaped in piles Edwardes raised himself and stared about him. What had happened? Had the trench been taken or—were the enemy still in possession? ‘He saw his own doubts on the Sax- on's face. ‘The two looked at each other silently. The girl was standing ‘@ little distance away. And it was thus, in their ignorance, in their pathetic helplessness, that their fate came to them in the form of the scattering shrapnel, Edwardes and the Saxon fell together, With a last effort he raised himself upon his arm and, staring at the uninjured girl, motioned imperatively toward the dis- tance, And he fell back, seeing the Saxon’s uncomprehending eyes fixed upon his. ‘The form of Milly hovered before his gaze—and vanished, (Copyright, 1910, by W, G, Chapman.)

" Back Promise Not to Try te Escape, Then Makes Get-Away While Doubly Guarded Day ‘and Night. London. — Lieutenant Commander Layton, a British naval officer who ‘was interned at Copenhagen, has just made his escape {n exciting circum: stances, and arrived here. At first he was allowed by the ‘Danes a fair amount of liberty on pa- Tole, but a few days after his intern- ‘ment began he went to the command- ‘ant of the barracks and told him he wished to take back the word of hon- or he had given not to try to escape. ‘The commandant, interpreting this as an intimation that he would en- deavor to escape, told Layton that he woul have to have him very closely waicuod. His quarters were placed under double guard, and there always Seemed to be three or four sentries wate!.ing his movements. The pros- Dect of escape seemed small, and, to make matters worse, Dayton was seized with a violent influenza cold, which prostrated him for the time be- ing. Two sentries stood at the door ot his room, and they never seemed to relax their vigilance. They were con- stantly looking through the peephole in the door of Layton's room, to see that matters were all right. ‘They did it as usual on the partic- ular evening that he escaped. Things were apparently quite in order, and thelr prisoner was apparently lying on the bed. As a matter of fact, he was not, and at a moment when the at- tention of one of the sentries was en- gaged and the other had been sent on an errand, Layton opened the door and slipped into another room, where he found a thick serge civilian suit. In due course he found himselt at a window overlooking the street, and with a rope which he had discovered he lowered himself into a street. ‘The barracks were on an island, and for better security patrols had been placed everywhere. The escaping of- ficer met two of them, but succeeded by a ruse in passing them. His next obstacle was the canal. ‘The night was dark and bitterly cold, there being several degrees of frost, but, clothed as he was, Layton took the most direct course, and swam for it, In spite of the fact that he was still suffering from influenza he did this successfully, and having got to land, he took off his clothes and wrung them out, so as to show no ob vious signs of water. On the ferry boat he turned himsel {nto a porter, and managed to get 2 Job of carrying a passenger's bag tc the station. There he boarded a train and in due course reached the dock side, where he caught a train to Chris tania. He used several disguises during the remainder of his voyage to Chris tiania, Just succeeded in escaping de tection, and finally sailed from Berger to England. On the boat to England @ passenger asked him if it was true that he was an American. He replied that he was, whereupon his fellow traveler remarked: “If you were not so darned sure about it, I should say you were British naval officer.” When the travel-stained young Eng lishman, without money, presented himself before a transport officer al the British port, he was not unnatural ly looked upon with suspicion, but he was soon able to establish his iden tity.

Introduction Broker Busy in National Capitol sins and members of the house have been discussing with surprise, not to mention indignation, a report that an “introduction broker" has been doing a thriving business in the capitol since the beginning of the ‘present session. As in cases of the ‘numerous petty grafters who infest the capitol, it has been found extreme- 9.

They ‘reached the man and when the Introduction was accomplished, the public ‘Man turned to the introducer and asked him his name and whom he rep- /resented. This made the client suspicious and he subsequently told all about the “broker.” Washington has a number of characters of this type, some of whom work among the politicians and others among society folk. As in every other city where society plays a big part, there are innumerable society “brokers in Washington. They work a bit more cleverly than the “introduc- | tion broker” of the capitol, but they work more slowly. ‘ Ty * waa’?

The action of the supply committee is not one of patriotism alone. When the European war put a stop to the exportation of cotton and there was agitation for putting the South’s staple crop to new uses at home the com- mittee became interested in the possibilities of cotton flags, but determined on rigid tests before any action should be taken. Cotton flags were therefore ade up and placed on several of the revenue cutters, and samples of cot- ton-flag goods were sent to the United States bureau of standards for tests. Both kinds of tests were highly favorable for cotton. The flags stood the ‘strain of constant use in all kinds of weather as well as flags of wool, the report from the revenue cutter service said.

An advertisement announces "The Wolf" at the Garden. If this brand of weather keeps up the Wolf will soon be at the Door. The Safety First plan for all Negro professional men is to stay out of cheap politics, stay off the street corners and stay in their offices sometimes. The efforts of Principal Lee toward improving the working value of the Lincoln High will have the unreserved support of the school patrons, all of whom agree that there is a great field for operation. It's the duty of the Republican party and its managers to put up a high class, clean cut representative ticket in this municipal campaign. If they do so they can win with ease. Any other kind of ticket will lose worlds without end. Let's be wise. Every race loving woman and every progressive man of the race in this city should be in hearty sympathy with the movement inaugurated by the Woman's League to establish a Y. W. C. A. in this city. This will in no way detract from the work being done by the branch in Kansas City, Kas, but the splendid work being done by the Y. M. C. A. for men furnishes ample reason for a like institution for women in this city. Let's one and all rally to their support. It has come to Missouri. The Maryland residence segregation idea is to be voted upon in the city of St. Louis next month and a heated campaign is being waged over the subject. Naturally the Negroes regard the movement as a mere effort to legalize race hatred and race degradation. For it is nothing less than degradation to compel a man to live in an undesirable section of a city simply because his skin is black and when he is well able to live a desirable locality. The predilection of white people to stand together when a secret ballot is taken upon any issue effecting the rights of black men renders the outcome of the contest very uncertain. Yet the St. Louis Negro citizens are waging an organized, determined fight for their rights and have the open support of many prominent white men. The city is nominally Republican, and in this fact much hope is centered. However, it would not be surprising to see the proposition carry and the colored citizens driven to the necessity of carrying their rights into the courts for protection. Kansas City Negroes will be ready to lend all possible aid when the call for assistance is rendered necessary.

Between each point of the star was a cut glass candlebra from which a streamer of green ribbon extended to each place card which contained a humorous but sensible verse. Covers were laid for Mrs. Matilda McAlston, Mrs. Louise McKnight, of Los Angeles; Miss Camille Watkins, Mrs. R. M. Lawson, and Mr. R. M. Lawson.

AS SE IN" MEMORIAM. In loving memory of our beloved father, Andrew Nelson, who departec this life one year ago, Jan. 20, 1915. ‘They folded your hands, Dear father of ours, And laid you away mid beautiful flow ers. And we knew every look on your beau tiful face ‘That no other father could take you place. MRS, WALTER NELSON, MRS, MARY KIRKPATRICK. MRS. AMELIA LEWIS. MRS. FANNIE CARSON, ‘When Greek Meets Greek. Two Greek women were haled to court for trying to dissect each other. ‘The chief witness for the prosecution was a typical New Yorker, and in the chotcest of New Yorkesque he gave his testimony. “That there woman,” he said, pointing to one of the women, “rushed across the street and hit this here woman,” indicating the other one, “over the bean with a bushel measure, ‘Then this here guy, carbolie,” mean: ing the first woman, “grabbed a club and smashed this here gink over the nut with it.” The lawyer for the de- fendants wanted to know the meaning of “a guy,” “a gink,” “a nut,” and “a bean.” After being put wise, he re- buked the witness because he had no sense of dignity. “Dignity,” he snort: ed, “I've got dignity to burn, but I ain't familiar with these here Greek words, and I ain't going to throw no blu for no lawyer.” What's that lawyer expect anyway, when Greek meets Greek?—New York Times, Sine ane Bhaving. The classic case of a king who knew better than to let anybody else shave him {s that of Dionysius the Blder, tyrant of Syracuse, who appears to have been unable to shave himself; for he is said to have resorted to the uncomfortable device of singeing off his beard with hot walnut shells says the London Chronicle. We may suspect that Napoleon's was another case of the kind. Rogers asked Tal- leyrand whether Napoleon shaved him self. “Yes,” replied Talleyrand; “onc born to be a king has someone to shave him; but they who acquire kingdoms shave themselves.” That way of putting it pleusantly empha sizes the practical superiority of the parvenu to the helpless spoiled child of heredity; but prudence probably entered into the matter also, if Tal leyrand’s statement was correct. ‘Shadetion ‘vita. An emergency bag js a very con- venient addition to the medicine clos- et; it should be made of two strips ot heavy linen or denim, about six or seven inches deep, the back piece to be made about 18 inches long and the front 27 inches; the two strips should be bound together at the ends and across the bottom, then stitched to form several pockets (eight or nine); a flap should be buttoned over the top and each pockét labeled with indelible ink. One pocket should con- tain rolls of bandages, another bits of old soft linen, another lint from worn-out napkins; other pockets should be made to hold bottles of ar- nica, witch-hazel, carbolic, Jamaica ginger, absorbent cotton, a box of healing salve, a piece of castile soap, and one-half dozen fingers cut from old, large kid gloves. “Here's an item,” said the telegraph editor, “about a New York man giv- ing his wife a $50,000 tiara. ‘That will make every man’s wife in America ‘want something of the kind.” “Kill tho item,” directed the proprietor. “What's the use of running a news- paper if you can't occasionally help your fellow men?—Louisville Cour- anton te Colored Women, Our Bite Style Book - We aro the (Th Nags Targent mane EES dntarereot Ae hte colored. wor an SSMRED, men's nur Sk i order eA ONED (introduce ray oo ses Rie YEG frco our la ie BY tse book G cee: Phowing SE Colorea ‘vo= cara en, in tho eg 3 atest hale es dressing Every col- |Jlored woman should have one.” We J guarantee every” article. we sell ‘or Money reronded, “All hair will poss | ively stand combing and washing the same as. your own.

MUSIC EVERY WEDNESDAY AND SATURDAY EVENINGS, TRAIN COMES BACK PRETTY ACCESSORY IS A WELCOME REVIVAL. Few Figures to Which It Will Not Lend Grace—Illustration Shows One of the Newest of the Skirts. It is a long time since trains were stylish, but they are in vogue now, and are, no matter what hygienists say about them, very becoming to women. They lend grace and an appearance of height to a short woman, and cause a fat one to look less bulky. Besides, they give an air of dignity that many a figure requires, and which some figures never exhibit except in a train dress. This design is one of a three-gored skirt and can be made with or without a train. It also gives a tunic over skirt in the event that the home needlewoman desires to make up a tunic in the new style, to conceal a narrow skirt that must still do service Some of the trains are now made of different material and design from that employed in the rest of the gown. One of the most beautiful was seen in an exhibition of foreign gowns in New York, when the model showed a black dress, handsomely trimmed, with a A Season's Trained Skirt. bodice and train of stiff brocade, in black, covered with bunches of natural-colored flowers. The sleeves were made in the elbow lengths that obtained when this Watteau fashion prevailed, and the ungathered flounce opened below the elbow to show a fall of lace. The bodice was high in the back and fitted tightly, and this was attached to the train, which began well at the sides. LAMPS IN FORM OF BASKETS Charming Designs Meant for Lighting the Boudoir or Drawing Room Are in the Market. Charming lamps for the boudoir or drawing room are made in the semblance of baskets of flowers. The baskets are made of gilded metal, in various graceful shapes. Some of them are tall, with high, arched handles. Some have no handles, and are squat and low. They are all lined with silk—rose-colored silk is the favorite color. Across the top of the basket a piece of silk is fastened, and to this piece of silk small silk flowers are attached. Sometimes there is a tiny electric bulb in the center of each flower, sometimes a big bulb is hidden under the flowers, and the light shines through the sides of the basket as well as through the flowers. Some of the baskets are a little one-sided, as if they were made of flexible reeds and had been crushed against a wall. And these are hung on the wall, at the side of a bed or above a writing desk, or at the side of a dressing table. Long Gloves Preferred Smart women are wearing the gloves with a long wrist, which is brought up cufflike over the sleeve. White is the preferred color, but gray and delicate tan and also dark blue are seen. Stockings Are Welcome Gifts on Which Small People May Lavish Any Amount of Work. Embroidered stockings, now so much used with more elaborate dress, are welcome gifts at any time of the year to almost any woman, and happy the skilled embroiderer who will thus be able, at a moderate expense, to provide her friends with beautiful hand-worked examples of her skill, which will add so decidedly to the beauty of their wardrobe. Many of the stockings which are to be worn with evening dress are embroidered in self-tones and in delicate designs of flowers, buds and leaves. A great many stockings also are embroidered with tiny beads, some of them in flowers and in conventional patterns and others with butterflies. Jet is used for embroidering white silk stockings, and in crystal beads and spangles all the colors are employed on stockings of the same shade or on those of contrasting color. Another manner of using the embroidery PRETTY IDEAS FOR GIFTS Some Little Things Which the Small Girl May Take to Herself and Elaborate. Some of the embroidery shops are showing half-made bags which will particularly appeal to the little girl who wants to make something pretty for a gift to her mother or her most favored friends. Most of the various forms of embroidery are beyond her, but this little workbag is decorated with the simplest stitch, the satin stitch, which any girl can do if she has Pansy Bag. patience. It is simply a series of long, stitches laid very close together. No padding is necessary. The bag is made of white linen with a colored lining. The five petals of a pansy are stamped on the lining at the top. These are to be worked in two shades of the color of the lining, the curved part nearest the edge in the lighter. The long lines in the center of the petals are to be worked in outline stitch, first a black line and then a yellow one. After the work is finished the petals are cut out very carefully so as not to snip them. The prettiest bags are made of white and lavender because they resemble the pansy more than the other colors. In the illustration of the unmade bag the petals of the pansy are stamped on the outside of the bag in order to show them more clearly, but the ac tual bag has the petals stamped on the inside.—Washington Star. MAKES THE WORK LIGHTER Useful Article That Will Be Found of Advantage If Circumstances Are Right. Our sketch shows a very useful article that will be found well worth the trouble and slight expense that will be entailed in preparing it. It can be made from any strong wooden box or packing case of a suitable shape and size. The lid is well padded and first covered with coarse canvas, which is in . turn covered with cretonne, and the edges of the lid are finished off with braid and brass-headed nails of a fancy pattern. The sides of the box are also smoothly covered with cretonne, the material being turned over at the edges and underneath the box and fastened on with tacks. Castors are screwed on at each corner underneath, and the box is lined throughout with sateen. Across the center, inside the lid, a band of broad white elastic is fastened down at intervals, with small brass-headed nails, so that it forms a series of loops into which scissors, bodkins, etc., may be slipped and held in place. Boudoir Mules Are Latest. For boudou uses there are lovely little mules made of satin ribbon and the fleece wool sole may be centered if one likes. Likewise there are round garters made of satin ribbons, shirred over elastic bands and garnished with miniature flowers, also of ribbon center lace rosettes. The round garter is in demand for wear with the negligee, because it is supposed that when one lounges in the retirement of her own room she dispenses with corsets and the stocking supporters that are a part of the corset. is to employ a somewhat more brilliant shade of the same color as the stockings for working it. Pale colored stockings, embroidered in gold or silver thread, are also extremely attractive and most fashionable for wear with slippers. The Child's Coat. I saw a lovely child's coat of quilted satin the other day, the quilting placed about the outer edges and forming a design. Light blue broadcloth coats worn by two seven-year-old children recently had the addition of a deep cape collar of white batiste, embroidered by hand, the edges scalloped all about. Another little coat, worn by a New York child known for the artistic manner in which she is dressed, was made of white velvet, the fullness falling from a little round yoke. For the little chap four to seven years old there are smart tailored outside coats of white broadcloth. They are made with an underarm seam which is shaped to make the coat fare ever so slightly—New York Herald. BEST OF CANDIED FRUITS Many Delicious Varieties That May Be Put Up at This Time of the Year. Seasonable fruits for preserving just now are sickle pears, sections of oranges, bits of pineapple and grapes. A sirup is made from two cupfuls of sugar, one cupful of water, and one-eighth teaspoonful of cream of tartar. This is boiled until it will make a soft ball when tried in cold water. Then the fruit is dropped in sufficient to cover the surface of the sirup. In about ten minutes this should be skimmed out and more fruit put in until all is cooked. Tender, juicy fruits may not take quite ten minutes, while hard pieces like pineapple will probably take longer. Care must be taken not to puncture the outside covering of any sweet, juicy fruit, as the sirup will not candy if the juice becomes mixed with it. When all the fruit is cooked it should be drained and allowed to lie in granulated sugar till dry. Amber jelly is another delicacy out of the ordinary that can be made at this time of year. The ingredients are one grapefruit, one orange, one lemon and granulated sugar. The fruit is peeled, being careful not to remove the white pulp with the skin. This must be saved for the pectin (jelly-making substance) it contains. After peeling, the fruit is cut into lengths, removing the white center of the grapefruit, which is very bitter. The pulp with the skin of the orange cut fine is measured, and to each cupful of pulp a cupful of water is added. This is put over the stove and boiled for five minutes. Then hot water is added equal to one-quarter the amount of water originally added. When this comes to a boil the kettle is removed from the stove and the contents measured. To five cupfuls of the pulp four cupfuls of sugar is the right proportion. This is boiled for 45 minutes, then poured into jars and sealed. THREE HINTS FOR HOUSEWIFE Excellent Use for Discarded Feather Bed—Broken-Needle Holder in the Work Basket. A good use for discarded feather beds is to put a small portion of the feathers into a tick made of muslin the size of the bed. Spread the feathers evenly, tack the case on quilting frames, cover both sides with silkline, and knot or tie as you would a comforter. A most excellent substitute for a down quilt is the result. For a broken-needle holder for the work basket use a small, round bottle about two inches long, with a plain crochet covering of silk of any desired color, and cover the mouth of the bottle with a piece of silk fastened with narrow ribbon. A medium-sized cork, covered with crocheted silk, in which to insert the point of the scissors, is pretty and useful for the work basket. Probably you believe that you are practicing all of the economies known to the up-to-date housekeeper, but have you turned inward the out-edge of a half-worn tablecloth? It is done exactly as a wide sheet is rejuvenated and if a very fine seam is carefully felled on the wrong side of the damask, the joining will never show. Cornmeal and Salt to Clean. Any light woolen material may be cleaned by this method: Mix cornmeal and salt in equal parts, then spread out the material or garment on a white cloth on the kitchen table and cover it with the cornmeal and salt mixture. When it has been on for a short time, cover your clothes brush or scrub brush with a soft white cloth, and go over the entire surface of the garment. After it has been brushed thoroughly, shake well and hang in the open air. The same process may be used with white dooskin gloves. Halibut au Gratin. Take five pounds of fresh chicken halibut, peel off skin and take out bones. Cut into small pieces, put in a roast pan, season well with salt, cayenne pepper, table sauce, one-half pound melted butter and one gill sherry wine. Bake about 15 minutes. When ready, mix the fish well with three pints of cream sauce. Put in baking dishes, around it a border of mashed potatoes, on top some grated cheese and bread, small piece fresh butter. Bake in a hot oven for ten minutes. Serve very hot. New Laundry Bag. An ordinary wooden coat hanger forms the top of this cretonne laundry bag. The top is curved to fit smoothly over the hanger. A slit from the top half way down the center of the front is bound with ribbon and forms the opening. The hook of the hanger is bound with ribbon and finished with a bow. This style of bag is much superior to the drawstring laundry bag Smoked Salmon Canapes Cut the salmon to fit small rounds of buttered toast, season with pepper and heat thoroughly. Serve with a garnish of watercress. It is well to cover the canapes while heating them, otherwise the salmon may become too brown. They are good appetizers. Ginger Puffs. Beat one egg well, add one-half cupul sugar, one-half cupul molasses, one-fourth cupul melted butter, one-half cupul warm water, two cupuls of flour sifted with one teaspoonful each of cassia, ginger and soda and one-half teaspoonful salt. Bake in individual tins. Lemon Pie. Cupful of sugar, two tablespoonful flour, small piece of butter (melted), grated rind and juice of one lemon, yolks of two eggs, one cupful milk, whites of two eggs beaten stiff; bake in one crust for 45 minutes in a very slow oven. Ginger Cookies. Two cupfuls of molasses, one cupful sugar, one cupful shortening, one cupful water, two teaspoonfuls soda, salt, teaspoonful ginger, flour to make dough. Will make six dozen cookies. Coptic Monks of the Sahara THE LION DWELLERS IN THE DESERT HAVE come on norseback over and built roul reed-covered swamps and burning fortress desert to an enigmatic looking at a height of building which has the shapelessness and silence of a ruin, writes a traveler in the Sahara desert. The cream-colored walls are lined, patched, broken, gigantic. It is a rectangular fortress. There is but the entrance, and that is a small one and heavily barred. A bell rope hangs down the wall by the door. Jingle, jangle! I ring the bell. There is a long silence and I ring again. Then a disheveled, barefoot monk laboriously undoes the little door in the wall. I present the letter which I bear from the patriarch, and I am admitted. The monks are pleased; all shake hands. I sit on one divan and five of them on another. A novice washes my hands, another brings me a glass of brown liquid—water full of medlar fiber in suspension. When I finish this he brings a glass of pink sugar water, then coffee all round—thimblefins of sweet coffee. The abbot, a fine looking fellow with regular features, broad face, black mustache and beard, and with an open space showing the freshness of the lower lip, is talkative. He has a towel wrapped round his brows for turban, and fingers black beads as he talks. Next to him is a comfortable looking monk in a blue smock and a white knitted skull cap on his head. Next to him, an old fellow with wizened bare legs and feet, old yellow rags on his grizzled head, a ragged black cassock over his gray underclothes. "What do you do all day?" I asked. "Pray, read, sing." they answered. "What do you think of the war?" "The war does not touch us. If they come and kill us we do not mind, but we pray each day that God will bring it soon to a close." "If the Arabs come, what will you do?" "If they shoot at us we will throw bread to them; that will be our reply." They Are Christian Fanatics. There were only sixteen monks, and including hermits there would not be more than 150 of these holy men in the desert altogether. There remain but four monasteries, whereas in the fourth century there were several hundred. Seven thousand holy bachelors and virgins learned of Ammon and his virgin bride alone. Here lived many of the most eccentric of the hermits and world deniers of the early church, the men who without knowing it gave Christianity tremendous advertisement. The men who prayed to God, kneeling for years on the tops of high columns, the men and women who had themselves bound to crosses or laden with irons, the saints who tamed the beasts of the forest, all gave to Christianity public interest and interesting lore. It became even fashionable to retire to Nitria and deny the world. Monasteries sprang up over the caves and cells of the saints, and gold and jewels poured into the monasteries. Art was bestowed on the building of new churches, and celebrated artists painted the frescoes on the walls. Not an inch of these little desert temples was left uncovered by Byzantine fresco. But the Saracen came and murdered the cultured clergy, and tore away the jewels, as was fit, and rolled down many a wall, wrecked many an altar. The holy brotherhood was annihilated and there was a sixty-years' gap in history. Then a wilder type of Christian took possession, converted Arabs, for the most part, and they knew little Coptic, and so brought Arabic gospels and liturgies. They repaired the damage and put up Arabic inscriptions, Wit Saved Labor Tom Williams is one of the heroes who use their wit to save their strength. During a camping trip in the Maine woods Tom was easily the laziest man in the party. Finally, his exasperated comrades told him that if he did not kill something besides time they would pack him off for home. The next morning Tom borrowed a rifle and went off up the mountain. Two hours later the men in camp saw Tom running down again as fast as he could come, and close behind him was a bear. The men watched the chase with loaded rifles ready. On reaching camp Tom turned and shot the bear. When the men had recovered from their laughter one of them said: "Tom, what on earth possessed you to run that distance, with the bear so close, when you might have killed him on the hill and saved your breath?" Tom smiled slowly. What's the use of killing a bear in the mountains and lugging him in when you can run him in?" he asked. and built round their temples impregnable fortress walls with drawbridges at a height of forty feet. They withstood sieges and persisted to this day. The abbot showed me round the monastery. The buildings were all a patchwork of ruin and repairs and changes. The frescoes had been whitewashed out in nearly every part. The old stained glass, broken and shapeless, was mortared in with new glass. And yet there was a real odor of antiquity in the place. The patterns in the ikons were but dust patterns, and the face of the Virgin crumbled away as the abbot took the picture down to show me. In a niche here and there left by accident were the original frescoes in wonderful purple and crimson, pictures of the saints, their faces and bodies all of that unearthly and mystical shape and color to which the early Christians loved to attribute citizenship of heaven. The lectern had a nail on which to fix the candle. The communion cup was swathed in the oldest vestments of the monastery. In a cupboard in one church they showed me the mummies of sixteen patriarchs, unwrapped one a little and showed me his dry, brown flesh. The seventeenth patriarch of the Coptic church is ninety-four years of age, and will be embalmed and put with these others in his turn. Here also in one of the churches is the mummy of the primitive hermit Macarius, once a candy seller in Alexandria. The church, perhaps, took the idea of embalming the saints from the Egyptians, and the fresco from the hieroglyph. The books from which the service is read are all copied books, beautiful specimens of calligraphy spattered on every page in a hundred places with new and ancient spots of candle grease. From the vault of one of the churches hang seven old dusty ostrich eggs. A monk explained to me that as the ostrich looks to its egg as the most precious thing in life, so they look to God in their prayers—at least the egg is to remind them. We went into the fortress church, the only entrance to which is at a height of forty feet by a bridge from the outer rampart. They showed me how the bridge could be drawn in and the monks be safe from assault of arms. Upon the ramparts a novice had his duty beside a pile of bread and a stoup of water. When Bedouin beggars ring the monastery bell he lowers them bread and water in a basket. They showed me the illuminated books of a thousand years old, and the scrivener's cell where, among many quills, a monk still copies the scriptures day by day. They showed me one chapel, the floor of which was covered with chiles drying, the long room where every night all the monks gather about the abbot to read the gospel and discuss its meanings, and the massive doors, two feet thick, of wood and iron. The monks were most kind, simple and loving. It was an amusing spectacle at lunch. I lunched; everyone else waited on me. An Abyssinian boy washed my hands, two monks shelled eggs all the time and filled my plate, two others stripped cucumbers for me, another kept helping me to hot milk soup in which slabs of sugar were dissolving.

Then my horse was brought out and I rode back to the village on the other side of the salt marshes. Millions Without Sight. The total number of blind persons in the world is roughly estimated at 3,390,000. The total number enumerated at the most recent censuses of the blind in all countries in which such censuses have been taken is 1,194,346. These countries represent all of Australia, nearly all of Europe and North America, and portions of South America, Africa and Asia, together with certain of the insular possessions of European and American countries. The only countries and provinces in which the ratios of the blind to the total population are lower than that for the United States (52.3 per 100,000) are Canada, where the ratio was 44.9 per 100,000 in 1911; Belgium, where it was 43.5 in 1910; Denmark, 52.7 in 1911; Germany, 60.9 in 1900; Netherlands, 46.3 in 1909; New South Wales, 61.4 in 1911; western Australia, 50.3 in 1911; and New Zealand, 47.8 in 1911. The Bassano dam, in Alberta, Canada, one of the greatest irrigation works in the world, has been completed. Bread and Books. HORSE NOT YET OBSOLETE Will Remain, It May Be Safely Asserted, Long After Some Prophets Have Been Forgotten. Some prophets and sons of prophets who predict that horses on the farms will soon be only a memory will have passed away, and pleasing epitaphs will be carved into the stones which mark their resting place, long before their prophecies become fact. The introduction of the farm tractor will not, as some believe, remove the horses from the fields and from their pastures, Farm Machinery asserts. The advent of the street cars did not have that effect upon horses, neither did the bicycle nor automobile. Today there are more horses in this country than there were ten years ago, and prices are considerably higher. The one thing that the farm tractor will do is to supply the need of power on the farms which horses cannot give. Take away the farm tractors which are in use today and several hundred thousand horses would be required to replace them, or if horses could not be had the lands would have to go unplowed and untitled. The number of tractors now in use will be multiplied many times within the next ten years, but there will be as many horses in this country as there are today, and prices will be even higher than now. Farm tractors are becoming a necessity, just as electric street cars have become—the same as telephones have supplanted the telegraph in a way and have taken the place of messenger boys and quick delivery of mail. No one will agree that there are not more miles of telegraph wire in use today than ten years ago, nor can it be said that there are fewer messenger boys, yet the telephone is in almost every business house and in many households, doing work for which there was little demand a few years ago. The farm tractors will simply fit into the greater needs of the country and will do the heavier chores and drudgery which horses are little fit for. They will not replace the horses, but will simply assist them and make life easier for them. They will also enable farmers to breed better horses because their mothers will be kept for that purpose instead of spending half or more of their time in doing heavy work. Let us not dream too long upon the practicability of the horseless farm. It is a long way off, as yet. "Bowl of Death" The latest thriller for amusement parks and similar institutions is a so-called "bowl of death," which turns from a horizontal to a vertical position and then back again as the rider drives his motorcycle at high speed around the rim. A picture of this device appears in the Popular Mechanics Magazine. The bowl is made up of segments of perforated steel, is 15 feet in diameter and is hemispherical in shape except for a flat section at the center and a sharp inward curve at the rim designed to furnish the rider some degree of protection against the danger of running off the edge. When the motorcyclist begins his ride the bowl is horizontal, with the open side up. As soon as the machine attains sufficient speed to ride on the vertical edge the bowl is slowly swung to a position in which the open side is vertical. Cape Cod Canal a Success The government test of the Cape Cod canal has been declared a success. Two submarines made the trip from Boston to Newport at the rate of eleven miles an hour, and at a great saving of time, as compared with the outside route. The eight-mile trip through the canal was made in forty-five minutes, and by using this passage the submarines saved six miles of distance and avoided much rough weather. The Kiel canal was built by the Germans at a cost approaching $100,000,000, mainly for strategic purposes; yet it is a fact that the reduction of distance between the German base in the Baltic and the North sea by this canal is little greater than the gain to the American fleet, which would result from the enlargement of Cape Cod canal to accommodate our battleships between those two important strategic centers. Newport and Boston. Harry A. Franck, famous as a world wanderer, who has just returned from a four years' hike in South America, tells the following about the impression left by Colonel Roosevelt with the natives of Paraguay: "I got near the trail of Colonel Roosevelt, though not nearer than a couple of hundred miles. He was on his trip to the River of Doubt and I heard much about him from the natives, and from two men who had been with him, Father Zahm and Mr. Sipp. I heard many yarns about Roosevelt. At one village, in the wildest part of Central South America, hundreds of miles from civilization and peopled only by a few Indians, the inhabitants. I was told, had been greatly shocked because the colonel walked about their streets without his coat on!"—New York Times. Chinese Minister Long a Diplomat. Dr. Wellington Koo, who has been appointed Chinese minister to this country, in succession to Kai Fu-Shah, was until his appointment, minister to Mexico, Peru and Cuba. Doctor Koo was an undersecretary in the Chinese foreign office until recently, and as such was a member of a diplomatic commission which conducted the negotiations in Peking with the Japanese minister. He speaks English perfectly, and is a graduate of Columbia university, where he received his doctorate. Growth of Rubber Industry The world's production of crude rubber last year amounted to 142,000 tons. This is a substantial increase over 1914. Of this amount of rubber 75,000 tons is used in the United States, and of that amount more than one-half finds its way into Akron, O., the home of the tire industry. It is a matter of record that in 1905 75,000 acres of land were devoted to rubber culture, and in 1915 there were 1,330,000 acres devoted to this industry. WAYS TO USE LEMONS FIVE SUGGESTIONS THAT ARE OF REAL MERIT. Made Into Pie, its Tart Flavor WILL Be Appreciated by Many—Lemon Butter a Delicacy Highly Considered. Lemon Pie.—Two slices of stale bread, two-thirds of an inch thick; one cupful of boiling water, one cup- ful of sugar, one tablespoonful of but- ter, the juice and grated rind of one lemon, two eggs. Dissolve the bread in hot water; add the sugar, butter, lemon and yolks of the eggs, well beaten. Bake in a moderate oven. When done make a meringue of the whites of the eggs and pie on top. Brown in a very slow oven. Lemon Souffle.—One cupful of sugar, one tablespoonful of butter, two tablespoonfuls of flour, the juice and grated rind of one lemon, one cupful of milk, two eggs. Cream the butter, sugar and flour together. Add the juice and rind of the lemon, then the beaten yolks and the milk. Add the well-beaten whites last. Bake in a pudding dish placed in a large pan half full of boiling water. This is a most convenient pudding to make in a hurry, as it does not need a sauce. The top is a delicious souffle and the bottom a creamy sauce. Lemon Butter.—Half cupful of water, half cupful of flour, half cupful of sugar, one egg, salt. Boil the water and add the flour mixed to a paste. Then add the sugar, the egg well beaten and a pinch of salt. Cook until stiff and creamy. Take off from the stove and add four tablespoonfuls of lemon juice and a teaspoonful of grated rind. Spread between slices of bread for the children's sandwiches. Lemon Cheese Cakes.—One heaping tablespoonful of butter, two-thirds cupful of sugar, two eggs, one lemon. Cream the butter and sugar, add the yolks of the eggs, well beaten, and the juice and grated rind of the lemon and cook till thick in a lemon boiler. Bake in muffin pans, lined with pastry, and cover the tops with meringue made from the whites. Lemon Cream Pie.—Half cupful of water, one tablespoonful of cornstarch, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, two eggs, one lemon. Line two plates with pastry and bake. When cold, put together with the following: Boil the water and add the cornstarch, mixed with a little cold water, and the lemon juice. Beat the yolks of the eggs with the sugar, add a pinch of salt and cook all together till thick. Make a meringue of the whites and spread over the top. Do not put together till just before it is to be served. Delicious Sweet Scones. Whole wheat flour, one pound; lard or butter, two ounces; sultanas, one ounce; carbonate of soda, three-quarters of a teaspoonful; tartaric acid, half a teaspoonful, free from lumps; buttermilk or sweet milk, one teacupful; golden sirup, one teaspoonful (about two ounces). Put flour into a basin and thoroughly mix in the butter, sultanas, soda and acid. Pour the sirup into the milk and add this to the dry ingredients, working it into a smooth dough. Knead as quickly as possible, roll out to half an inch in thickness, cut in rounds. Apple Sponge. Soften one-third of a box of gelatin in one-third of a cupful of cold water, then dissolve it in one-third of a cupful of boiling water. Add one cupful of sugar, stir over boiling water until dissolved, then add the juice of one lemon and one cupful of unsweetened apple sauce. Let stand until it begins to thicken, fold in the stiffly-beaten whites of three eggs, beat until white and frothy, turn into a ring mold and place on ice until firm. Unmold and serve with sweetened whipped cream in the center. Delicious Meat Flavoring Garlic vinegar makes meat rich and tender and gives it a delicious flavor that is hard to define. It is made by placing in a quart bottle a small garlic, which is replenished as the vinegar is used. Pour into the pores of the meat as much vinegar as it will absorb, then brush over with olive oil. Fish Hash. Place pound of salt fish in dish on second cover of stove with cold water to cover. After it soaks a while change the water again and let it just steam, but not boll. About 6 or 7 boiled potatoes. Chop all together and fry in pork fat till brown. Moisten a little with milk. Novelty Potatoes. Chop very fine one quart cold boiled potatoes, put them into a saucepan with one cupful cream, two tablespoonfuls butter, salt and pepper, set on fire, stir until hot, then turn into a baking dish. Cover with bread or cracker crumbs and bake brown in a brick oven. Cocoanut Cups. One-half cupful coconut, one cupful sugar, one cupful milk, one egg, one tablespoonful butter, one teaspoonful vanilla, two cupfuls of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Beat well. Fill greased cups half full and steam one hour. To be eaten with whipped cream. For Sandwiches. To make a good sandwich filling take one cupful of whipped cream. a pinch of salt, a little iemon juice; and one half cupful of nut meats. Mix and spread between thin slices of bread.—Mother's Magazine. Score One for Sandy. Pat and Sandy were discussing the merits of their respective regiments, and each one was of the opinion that his own was the best. "Why," said Pat, "whin our colonel is dismissin us he says to the officers, 'Full out, gintemen!'" "That disna coont ior muckle," replied Sandy. "Gin oor colonel wis the say that, a' the regiment wad fa' oot." A Lucky Mistake By A. G. SHERWIN (Copyright, 1915, by W. G. Chapman.) "I am hungry, sir. If you could spare me a few cents—" "There's a nickel—go and get a drink with it, of course!" "I'm not a drinking man, sir—" but the tall, well-dressed benefactor had swung on his way. Thad Brown sent a "Thank you, anyway" after the vanishing figure and started for the town center. Five cents was not much, but it would buy a loaf of bread, and he was desperately hungry. Then, amid the sweet appetizing scent of the bakeshop he gave a great start, as in return for his "nickel," after inspecting it closely and glancing suspiciously at his customer, the proprietor counted out four dollars and ninety-five cents on the glass-topped case and pushed it over to Brown. "Eh, what's that for?" inquired the latter in amazement. "Your change, of course. Didn't you give me a five-dollar gold piece. Or mebble you thought it was a twenty or a double eagle!" insinuated the speaker sarcastically. "There's the five," and he showed the coin to Brown, who stood stupefied, but A man in a suit and hat stands in front of a counter, holding a bag of cookies. A woman in a suit and hat stands behind the counter, looking at the man. "Mebbe You Thought It Was a Twenty." finally took up his half-dozen rolls and the change and went outside. "The man made a mistake—gave me a five-dollar gold piece instead of a nickel," promptly decided Brown. "I've got to find him." Brown nibbled at the rolls as he started on his quest. He gave up the task after an hour's steady tramping. He did not, of course, know his benefactor's name. He could barely describe him, for the gift had been bestowed in the dusk of the evening. Still, he would know that stalwart form and the anxious, but pleasant face which he had noted momentarily. Brown slept in his customary bed that night—a convenient barn loft. He had tied the four dollars and ninety-five cents in a corner of his rag of a handkerchief and had stowed it in an inner pocket. He was hungrier than ever when he woke up, but he did not disturb the little hoard. Brown did some work in a garden and earned his breakfast. Then he started on his quest anew. He had seen better days, he was not a tramp, although his benefactor had treated him like one. Time was when Thad Brown had a home of his own. There had come sickness, bereavement, discouragement. He had been employed in a piano factory. He lost his job, and, with the sole equipment of a tuning key, had started out to make a living. Sometimes there were plenty of instruments to tune, but slack times came in between. The present was one of many occasions where Brown found nothing to do. He had never been driven to ask for charity before. Through it all he was strictly honest. The four dollars and ninety five cents did not belong to him. It was a trust, therefore, and as such he regarded it. It was the morning of the second day after he had received the five-dollar gold piece that Brown was passing by a small hotel on the principal street of the town. Twenty feet away he saw a man stepping into an automobile. In a flash Brown recognized him—it was his kindly almoner of forty-eight hours previous. "Hey—one minute, please," he shouted, and rushed for the curb, but the chauffeur had received an order and the car flashed down the street beyond hall or halt. Brown went into the hotel and questioned the clerk. The latter regarded his well-worn clothes and was reticent. He scanned his face and opened up. The man Brown described was Mr. Alvin Thorpe, guest for two days past, a stranger in the town. Did not know when he would return—probably by noon, he supposed. It was an hour after midday when Brown went back to the hotel. The clerk announced that Mr. Thorpe had returned, paid his bill and was going away on the afternoon boat. However, he believed he was still in his room—No. 17, third floor. Up the stairs Brown proceeded. He located No. 17. He knocked—no one responded. He tried the door—it was unlocked and he pressed open the door to find the room untenanted. "This Mr. Thorpe has gone to the boat already," decided Brown. "Well. maybe I can catch him before it leaves." Brown turned to leave the room when he was met at the threshold by a boy. The latter looked excited and worried. He burst instantly into an incongruous announcement. "I'm awfully sorry," he babbled forth, "but there is an answer to the note you sent yesterday. And I lost it, and was afraid to come and tell you. And I sneaked home and kept out of your way. And just a little while ago I found it—see, down inside the lining of my coat. Look, there's the slit in my pocket it must have gone through. And there's the letter, and I'm awfully glad I found you," and thrusting an addressed letter into the hands of Brown the lad bolted with a relieved face. "Hold on!" challenged Brown, but the boy was down the stairs three steps at a time. Brown gazed at the letter. It was directed to "Mr Alvin Thorpe." More need than ever to overtake the departing visitor to the town. Brown got to the street. He made for the wharf where the river boats docked. The Favorite was just pulling out into midstream. "Stop—she's off!" yelled a wharf-hand as Brown in his urgency and excitement ran on to the slanting gang-plank, just pulled free of the steamer. Splash! Over into the stream Brown went. The swell of the boat drew him towards the central current. He made a speedy decision. He swam toward the turning side of the steamer. A deck hand threw a rope to him. Brown was dragged to the deck, panting, dripping, surveyed with marveling regard by the passengers. "What now?" bellowed the captain, advancing blusteringly, but Brown had dashed the water from his eyes and was staring keenly about him. He made out Mr. Alvin Thorpe, seated alone near the rail. He ran up to him. He drew the old handkerchief from his pocket. He untied the knot. "You gave me a five-dollar gold piece instead of a nickel, as you supposed, the other evening, and there's the change," announced Brown breathlessly, and he pressed the wet coins into the hand of Mr. Alvin Thorpe. "Well, well, well—of all the honest men!" began Mr. Thorpe, recalling his pensioner and then staring as Brown drew from his pocket the letter he had received at the hotel. In a moment Brown saw that the address on the envelope had startled Mr. Thorpe. As the latter perused it his handsome face broke into a smile of the most wonderful delight. "Where did you get this?" he challenged quickly, and Brown explained. Mr. Thorpe hastened in search of the captain of the steamer. He bribed him to make a landing so he could return to the town. He motioned to Brown to follow him to land. Very briefly he made Brown understand that he had come to the place to make up a quarrel with the young lady he loved. The delayed letter, an answer to his, had sent him away, intending to never return, but Brown had saved the day. "My friend," said the grateful Thorpe, "you have proved yourself a jewel. You say you are a plano tuner?" "Yes, sir," assented Brown. "Well, I shall lodge you at the hotel at my expense, get you a new rig, and—why! I'll buy you a little piano factory and start you in business for what you've done for me!" Questions on Evolution. "The Word and Way" says concerning the theory of evolution: "Notwithstanding the bold and boastful claims to the contrary, the 'missing link' is still missing, so far as any evidence yet adduced is concerned. Man began as man. The sheep has always been the sheep. The hog has always been a hog. The grasshopper has always been a grasshopper, and the flea has always been a flea. In the absence of any proof to the contrary, this is the logical inference. The universal law that everything produces after its kind has never been proved false. Why, if the theory of evolution be true, has there not been some observable and provable evolution within the limits of human history? Why have the hog and the sheep and the horse and the hornet and the doodlebug ceased evolving? Any way, if this theory be true, will it not follow eventually that everything that is will evolve into something else? Aren't the figs and dates, the camels and goats, just today what they were 2,000 years ago? And if they are today what they were 2,000 years ago, why not what they were 10,000 or 100,000 years ago?" Prominent Russian Women. Prominent Russian Women. From time immemorial Russian women have taken an active part in the social and political affairs of their country. Not only have they played a conspicuous role in revolutionary movements, education, labor questions and charity work, but they have figured prominently in art, science, diplomacy and court intrigues, Ivan Narodny writes in the New York Sun. Catherine the Great was a striking figure in Russian history, and so were Anna Joanova, Mme. Novikoff and many others. The heroism of Mmes. Broshkowskaya, Sussulitch and Figner displayed in Russian reform movement is well known. Pavlowa, Karsavina and Nazimova are well known Russian stage celebrities. The influences that Mme. Denisova and Countess Ignatiewa have exercised in Petrograd during the present decade speaks eloquently of the far-reaching power of Russian women, although their method is fundamentally different from that of their American and west European sisters.

Gorgas, U.S.A., Enemy of Disease HE HAS MADE HEALTH RESORTS OF PLAGUE SPOTS. CONGRESS HAS GIVEN HIM SOME SPECIAL HONORS. MOST OF THE WORLD'S GREAT UNIVERSITIES AND SCIENTIFIC SOCIETIES HAVE BESTOWED DEGREES. HE IS VERY SHY AND DOESN'T AT ALL LIKE TO DISCUSS HIS ACHIEVEMENTS. Surgeon General Gorgas HOSPITAL FOR CANAL EMPLOYEES By EDWARD B. CLARK. AJ. GEN. WILLIAM CRAWFORD Gorgas, chief of the medical crops of the United States army, is by many men accounted the greatest soldier of them all. He has met and overcome disease on many fields, and disease is accounted, even in war time, the greatest enemy of the human race. When one writes of this modest-appearing man, who never speaks voluntarily of his own achievements on the sickness- tarily of his own achievements on the sickness-stricken field, he is writing of one of the most famous men of any nation. He does not belong to Washington, nor yet to the United States, but to the world. Here is a doctor and a soldier whose record stands unique. In order to honor him congress in a way upset its traditions and changed a line of legislative action which for years ran one unvarying course. Last spring the congress of the United States paid General Gorgas the highest compliment that it is within its power to pay. It gave him the thanks of the congress of the United States; it promoted him to the grade of major general, and it so changed established custom as to enable him to remain at the head of the medical crops of the army for some months after the four years allotted for such service shall have expired. In other words, through the action of congress, General Gorgas, instead of being surgeon general of the army for the term of only four years, will hold that office until he retires from active work at the age of sixty-four years. The thanks of congress, promotion to the rank of major general and the provision which would enable the incumbent to remain surgeon general for a longer period than the usually allotted time came to this doctor, as the resolutions of congress show, because of his great work in routing disease from the Panama Canal zone and in making a former plague spot one of the most healthful districts in the world. It is virtually impossible to get the records of all the great scientists of the world for purposes of immediate comparison, but it seems to be safe to say that no other man has been so honored by educational institutions and by learned societies as has William Crawford Gorgas. He received his modest A. B. from the University of the South at Sewanee, Tenn., in the year 1875, and his M. D. from Bellevue Hospital Medical college in New York city four years later. From that time to this honors have been piled upon him, and he has borne them all with a modesty that resembles meekness. It is held by many that doctor of science is the highest honor which any institution of learning can confer upon a man. Seven great universities, including Oxford, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Brown and Princeton have conferred the doctor of science degree upon this American army doctor. To him have come LL. D's from Johns Hopkins, and from many other universities. By the decree of Yale, Georgetown and Washington universities he is a doctor of laws. He has medals from societies, from medical associations and from national academies of science "for distinguished achievement in the interest of mankind." He has the Seaman medal from the American Museum of Safety, and he has the Mary Kindlesdal medal from the Liverpool (Engand) School of Tropical Medicine. He is a member, either active or honorary, of virtually every great scientific society in the world. The honors have sought him out. He has gone on with his work seeking nothing except that which will benefit his yellow man. General Gorgas was born in Mobile, Ala., Oc Sofia, the Bulgarian Capital. Sofia, the Bulgarian Capital.

Prior to the emancipation of the Bulgars it was a small Turkish town of 20,000, with narrow, dirty streets. There was practically no trade and the people were in a hideous state of poverty. The city which has now risen up has a population of about 125,000 and is rapidly becoming one of the best in eastern Europe.

He graduated in medicine at the Bellevue Hospital Medical college in 1879. He served on the house staff of the Bellevue hospital from 1879 to 1880; entered the United States army in 1880, and served in Florida and on the western frontier until the Spanish-American war broke out in 1898. He went to Cuba with the expedition which captured Santiago. After the fall of Santiago General Gorgas contracted typhoid fever, and was sent back to the United States. He went with the expeditionary force which occupied Havana in December, 1898, where he remained as health officer until the fall of 1902. During his incumbency as health officer of the city of Havana the army medical board made a discovery with regard to yellow fever and found that it was conveyed by the Stegomiya mosquito. As health officer, with his subordinates he devised plans and measures whereby this discovery was put into practical service. As a result of these measures Havana was freed from yellow fever entirely in about eight months, although the disease had been there continuously for the previous 150 years.

DIGGING SANITARY SEWERS IN CANAL ZONE made to your correspondent by General Gorgas which was nothing short of startling in its nature. He said: "If the governments of Venezuela and Ecuador would spend a few thousand dollars to stamp out yellow fever there never would be another case of the disease known to the world." For some reason or other the South American countries in which the yellow fever still exists will not spend the money necessary to stamp it out. So it is that so long as the disease exists there it is possible for some man, perhaps a sailor, to be bitten by a fever-laden mosquito just before he sails for another port and to carry with him the poison. It is held by the high thinkers that the countries of South America where yellow fever exists should be forced to stamp out the disease in order that the rest of the world may be safe for all time from the menace of the dread "yellow jack." Some time ago, during a process of dredging, a low spot on the zone was turned into a marsh, and almost instantly the malaria mosquito began to breed there abundantly. Literally millions of the insects appeared. Now, there was no danger that they would spread malaria among the zone people, because the insects had to become charged with the poison first; but, of course, it was necessary to determine how far the creatures could travel, and this is the way they found out: An able-bodied and perfectly willing native was put into a mosquito net tent, where he sat and acted as bait. He was paid a certain amount of gold for his balting work and he, with others who afterward were employed, said it was easy money. When the tent had a million or more mosquitoes in it the native came out and the entrance was closed. Then the scientists sprayed the tent and its confined mosquitoes with coloring matter. The spray was so fine that it did not drown or even drench the insects, but they received some coloring matter on their wings and bodies. Other tents were pitched and in each was stationed a human bait. These tents were at certain distances apart. All the mosquitoes in the first tent were released and they were traced by color from tent to tent until none were found. In that way they found out how far the malaria fever mosquito would travel. Surgeon General Gorgas makes his headquarters in Washington, but he is a soldier constantly subject to orders and also to the dictates of his own judgment. Any day he may be obliged to go straight to the front, not to meet the human enemy, but the disease enemy. His is the responsibility for the health of the soldiers in Texas, in the Canal zone, in Hawaii and in the Philippine islands. It is his to meet, physicianlike and soldierlike, any emergency which may arise. He is one of the gentlest men known to the service and he is also one of the bravest. His Attitude. "I fatter myself," remarked the successful candidate, "that I did not seek office." "Yes, I saw you shaking hands with the voters right and left, acting as judge at baby shows, presiding at welfare meetings and giving out numerous interviews to newspaper reporters." "Hum. That was merely to show the public that while I scorned to seek office, I would be in a receptive mood if the office sought me." Home Town Helps Practically No More Important Things Can Be Given Attention by City Planners. It may be said that there is no plane of human existence in society which the housing question does not touch. There is no form of vice, crime, debility or shiftlessness which bad housing does not tend to nurture. Keeping up appearances is often decried, and deserves much of the reproach cast upon it when it simply means unwarranted extravagance to maintain a position which one's income does not justify, but among the poor it is an ever-present aid to the maintenance of self-respect and is to be encouraged rather than decried. During his campaign for the presidency the late Benjamin Harrison uttered an epigram which made him the target of much criticism. He said: "A cheap coat makes a cheap man," and this statement, which was intended to epitomize his views on the protective tariff, was twisted into meaning that people whose clothes were cheap were purchasable. This was not true, and it would be no more true that bad housing made bad citizens under all circumstances. But, next to an inadequate and unwholesome food supply, poor housing does stand as the most deleterious element in our civic life. Sanitary research shows how important is the reaction of adequate light and ventilation on the health, stamina and moral character of individuals. Bad housing furnishes the fruitful nurseries of disease germs of all kinds, while at the same time creating conditions which prevent the building up of resistance to their inroads. IS KING OF URBAN TREES Elm Famous for Developing Fine Symmetry When Allowed to Grow Alone. "The elm is essentially a self-sufficient tree. It does not thrive in groves," Walter Prichard Eaton writes in the Century. "It has a standard type of its own, and it either attains this type or is lost to view. The elm which comes to maturity is usually the one which has lodged in a favored spot where there is no competition, such as a river meadow, where the spring freshhes have dropped the seed on fertile soil and the roots can get down to water. "We all know the type, the noble trunk of massive girt tapering very gradually upward to the first spring of branches, and then dissolving in those branches as a water jet might dissolve in many upward and outcurving streams, till the whole is lost in the spray of the foliage. Like many other trees that grow alone, it develops an exquisite symmetry; but with the elm this symmetry is not only one of general contour, but of individual limbs. Not only is the silhouette symmetrical, but the skeleton also, branch balancing branch. That is what gives it its remarkable fitness to comport with architectural lines, with geometrically designed vistas. It has a formal structure and a consequent dignity which makes it the logical shade for a village street, a chapel, a library, the scholarly procession in cap and gown. Add to that dignity its arched and airy lightness and its splendid size, and you have the king of urban trees." GOOD PLACE FOR FOUNTAIN Builder in Western City Has Proved That He Had the Right Idea in Its Construction. In constructing a building in a western city, a sanitary drinking a bouncing in a sanitary drinking fountain has been set in a niche provided in the front wall of the structure between two stores. The outer edge of the porcelain water bowl is flush with the face of the brickwork, so that it does not jut out in the way of pedestrians. By placing the fountain here, instead of erecting a pedestal at the curb, as is frequently done, the sidewalk was left free from obstructions.

The exposition was started by a number of private concerns, but its success was so great that the city government provided it with an exposition ground of 45 acres, fitted up with handsome buildings. Here both manufacturing and agricultural exhibits are shown, the former including the lines that have made Rochester famous, such as cameras, optical goods, shoes, clothing, office fixtures and prepared foods.

As before stated, the twenty-third annual communication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge had been ap pointed to meet in the city of St, Paul Minn, This was done as its too fre quently thé case, more from the de sire of the members to visit that cits than from any cogent good that might come to the jurisdiction in setting the place of meeting so far from the bulk of the jurisdiction. It appears that no sooner had the grand body closed than a loud protes' arose from the lodges against this ac tion. It was also found that the lodge in St, Paul was about to sever its con nections with the Missouri jurisdic : ae , tion, thus creating a condition simi- lar to that when the National Grand Lodge appointed itself to meet for the last time in the city of SE. Louis. So the Grand Master found it nec- essary to cast-around for a more de- sirable appointment. Columbia was finally selected and even in that city Such difficulties were found as neces- slated a change of date. It was not until Aug, 27, 1889, that the formalities of the session were be- gun, and a very satisfactory attend: |ance was noted. | The Grand Lodge had gotten into the [habit of doing things without suftt clent delfberation and without proper. ly consulting the men behind the guns —the brethren at home—and these never failed to make themslves heard when the hasty actions failed to ap peal to them, ‘This spirit was strongly manifested toward the action of the last session in locating the Grand Masonic ‘Tem ple at Jefferson City. Though the capital of the state and otherwise ap [propriate for such distinction as tha of being the permanent seat of Ma sonie work for the jurisdiction, the city was one too convenientls reached at that time and the conven |tences for entertainment were not al together satisfactory especially to th big city members. Perhaps the spirit of jealousy als | entered into the other objections anc |so great was the tide of complain | that one of the first acts of the twen |ty-third annual communication was t¢ | rescind the action of location anc open up the whole subject for renewer consideration. Several cities, St, Louts Kansas City and Independence among them, made extravagant though some What Indefinite bids for the location Jefferson City was not to be outdon and made sich an alluring amendec offer as to hold the title at the clos of the session with the proviso tha within ninety days it should make | good with a bonus of $1,300 and rental guarantee of at least $1,200 an nually along with other promises. Thi doubtless looked easier at Columbic than when the representatives re turned to Jefferson City. It was no done. At this meeting it was found tha '|the Masonic reliet was in better con '/dition, due to the improved methos ‘/of financing, and a real effort wa '| made toward cutting down its operat '| ing expenses. At the same time ther ‘|was much arrearage due from th '|lodges and quite a number of claim: '|were either unpaid or in a evry tan ‘|gled state of adjustment, due t deaths occurring in delinquent lodges ‘The Grand Lodge found that manj ‘| details, hitherto overlooked or hastil considered, must now be worked out Perhaps in this emergency credi || Is due to no member of the body moré than to Brother A. B, Moore, who was a member of the committee ap: pointed for that purpose, and who for several years had been one of the most useful members, He was a very quiet, cosmopolitan yet polished and genteel sort of man, possessing great intellectual ability and wise discern: ment. He never got far into the official ranks of the Grand Lodge, his most conspicuous position being that of Grand Registrar, but as a floor mem: ber and arduous committee worker he set a mark for all time, So, many of the wrinkles were {roned out of the Masonic Relief, even though roughly in spots, and the Grand Lodge closed much, stronger than when it began, It was ordered that the dollar tax for the Masonic Temple be paid in quick installments and the Grand Mas- ter was instructed to go ahead with the building as soon as Jefferson City made good its promises. Only minor changes occurred in the elections, which were conducted on the old short ballot style, Dr. Rick: etts voluntarily gave up his seat as Deputy Grand Master after having de: clined to be a candidate for Grand Master, and James Gordon, a most worthy and deserving member of Wil Kerson lodge No, 26, St. Joseph, was advanced to that position. ‘The next meeting was voted to Boonville. warcay “ ” en PORO BR Weegee: - ahead) The Password ; soFITs AG FO ATED US Go a! fy)” CANE BRAOWER NY » Faw eliftarabs qt hh PupNDABUNDANT GROWTH, « VAs) 7 Uh erates 77 SUG P ws aig SRE Of all erm era, Good Hair Dressers ie : 3100 Pine St., Dept.
