NUMBER 43. Negro Solo Wonderful Progress What the American Negro H Years Under the Most Adverse Circums Wonderful Progress of a Race What the American Negro Has Achieved in 50 Years Under the Most Trying and Adverse Circumstances. WILL BEBETTER FARTER ON. The first African immigrants, twenty in number, landed in Virginia about the last of August, 1619, coming over in a Dutch man-of-war. "They were probably not slaves, but servants indentured for a term of years." (Negro Year Book.) In 1628 slavery began in New York and New Jersey and gradually gained ground in the other states. From twenty immigrants in 1619, with the continual importation of the African slaves, the race grew in strength and numbers until when the emancipation proclamation was issued by the immortal and peerless Abraham Lincoln in 1663, the African contingent in this country had amassed a population of 4,441,730. That same race now numbers in its ranks over 11,000,000 African-Americans. It is hardly necessary to recount the African-American's deeds of heroism and valor on the battle fields for this country, dating from the revolutionary war, when Cripus Attucks, an African slave, was the first to shed his blood for American independence.

Chaplin and Mrs. Prioleau left on the 22nd ult., to join the chaplain's new regiment, the 25th U. S. Infantry, in the Hawaiian Islands. The Physical Culture class, composed exclusively of ladies of the post, of which Mrs. Prioleau was the able instructor, gave a very enjoyable exhibition at the post gymnasium hall just prior to Mrs. Prioleau's departure, which was greatly enjoyed by all. The admission fee was, that each gentleman must be accompanied by a lady. A very nice program was rendered. Among the leading features was a basket ball game, which was hotly contested by both sides. Miss Florence Porporal Harry Porter died at the residence June 1. The funeral 3 from Mrs. Lamar was buried in the Quartermaster Sergler officiating.

Miss Florence Porter, sister of Corporal Harry Porter of this command, died at the residence of Mrs. Lamar, June 1. The funeral took place June 3 from Mrs. Lamar's residence. She was buried in the Post cemetery, Quartermaster Sergeant M. W. Saddler officiating. The garrison has been greatly benefitted by the sacred services held by Quartermaster Sergeant Saddler, at the Post chapel each Sunday evening. All who attend these meetings express themselves more than satisfied with the encouraging sermons of Sergeant Saddler. Sergeant Saddler has been acting regimental chaplain since the departure of Chaplain Prioleau. Mrs. V. H. Marchbanks was suddenly called to Chicago by the serious illness of her little son. She left Sunday afternoon within a few hours after she received the unpleasant telegram. The Children's Day exercises were held last Sunday at the Post chapel. Everybody was well pleased with the beautiful program rendered. It showed that careful hard work had been done by the uniring superintendent, Mrs. J. A. Malone, assisted by her faithful teachers, Mrs. Sewall, Mrs. Spearman, Mrs. Dendy and Sergeant Saddler. The Fort Huachuca Literary Forum gave its first public entertainment last Sunday evening in the Post chapel. An excellent program was carried out to the merriment of all present. Next week we will have a splendid article on Music in the new musical section, by Bandmaster A. Jack Thomas, Tenth Cavalry Band, U.S.A. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, JUNE 23, 1916. NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE OUR GUESTS. In order to entertain these distinguished men and women as they have been entertained in other cities it will require the united effort of all race loving citizens of Greater Kansas City. We also invite the various lodges, societies and social clubs to join us in raising funds sufficient, to give these visitors a royal welcome, as there will be members and friends of these lodges and clubs from all parts of the United States. Philadelphia subscribed $7,000 for the entertainment of the National Business League when they met there in 1913. We want $3,000 to entertain them in Greater Kansas City—won't you do your share? This organization was the most important work of its founder, the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, with the exception of Tuskegee. The ideals of the Business League is the hope of a struggling race. You can give your subscription to any of our authorized collectors or send checks to J. A. Wilson, treasurer, 1616 West Ninth street. All persons donating $1.00 will be presented with a National Business League Booster's Badge, and all persons donating $5 or more their names will appear in our souvenir program. The names of those who have subscribed will be seen in the columns of this paper each week. INVITATION TO VISIT PLANT OF SEARS, ROEBUCK & COMPANY, CHIGAGO.

Weaver gathered together some of Kansas City's most intelligent ladies and succeeded in organizing a Temple that is destined to be one of the best in the jurisdiction. On Tuesday evening, June 13, a number of prominent representatives of the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten met at the U. B. F. Hall, 1420 East Eighteenth street, to witness the organization of what is to be second to none of Temples in Kansas City, Missouri, and jurisdiction. Thirty-five ladies gathered to be initiated into the rites of the Order. Before the house was called to order Dr. Gideon W. Brown impressed the ladies of the seriousness of the obligations they were about to take and bade them be courageous. He bade them support the organization and to honor the organizer, B. M. Weaver, by taking her name. Princess Malinda Robinson of Mercy Temple called the house to order, and with the assistance of Madame P. M. Dabney of Queen Etta Temple No. 345, Past Princess Eva L. Moore, M. L. Sweatman, Princess Katherine Harris and M. E. Walker, the candidates were initiated into the rites of the Sisters of the Mysterious Ten and seated. R. E. Moten, district deputy of the U. B. F. and jurisdiction, spoke encouragingly to the sisters and commended Mrs. Weaver for her influence and the manifestation of her ability in the community. The Temple will be known as B. M. Weaver Temple. Officers: Princesss, B. M. Weaver; vice, Nannie Bunch; secretary, Alma Robinson; assistant, Mrs. Radford; treasurer, Julia Houston; chaplain, Belle Martin; pilot, F. E. Laing; Joshua, R. Blackwell; Villa, L. Stevenson; Caleb, Gladys Jones; senior marshal, M. Neal; junior marshal, Miss Griffen; outside gatekeeper, Mrs. McCulley; Father Joshua, Mrs. D. Rivers. All members of Temples in good standing are invited to meet with this number at 2 p. m. the second and fourth Mondays at 1420 East Eighteenth street. ALMA ROBINSON, Secretary. PROF. WM. H. DAWLEY, JR. Who will speak on "Coming Events." Y. M. C. A. From cards received from the "Billy" Sunday Campaign Committee it is evident that scores of Colored men "hit the trail" during his stay here. The improvements on the building are progressing rapidly. Payments of subscriptions to make this possible keep apace. Mr. H. O. Cook, chairman of the Committee of Managers of the Paseo Y. M. C. A., will make his home in the Chicago building while in that city this summer. The Mexican situation, which calls for the mobilization of the State Militia, is a real serious matter for Colored men connected with the National Guard, as is the case in Illinois. Mr. Gaston Graham, who has made his home temporarily in the Association building, received this week orders to report to his command, Company I of the 8th Illinois regiment. The second overnight hike of the season was held last Saturday night to North Kansas City. The site where the boys stayed for the night was a place from which we could get a long distance view of our city that could not be duplicated from any other point around Kansas City. The boys are very anxious for their summer camp to open. This year's camp will be larger and even better than last year's. We hope to accommodate 50 or more boys and men. We want good reliable Agents in every city and town in the country. Write us for terms. MASONIC CELEBRATION. The Masonic fraternity and the Adoptive Rites in all their branches will celebrate St. John's Day Sunday, June 25 with a religious and literary program at historic Allen Chapel at 2 p.m. The twelve blue lodges headed by the three Commanderies of Knights Templars, the Scottish Rite Masons and the Royal Arch Chapters with music furnished by the Knights Templar band and the Second Regiment K. of P. band will march from their hall at 1:00 o'clock to the church, where the Knights Templars will form an escort to the ladies of the Eastern Star, the Heroines of Joricho, the Administrative Council, the Daughters of Isis, and the Golden Circle, who will march from the lecture room through the lines under an arch of steel into the church auditorium and the following program will be rendered with Past Grand Master R. T. Coles as Master of Ceremonies: PROGRAM Benediction. Rev. W. H. Thomas, D.D. EUGENE G. LACEY, Dist. Dep. Grand Marshal. Richard Fulbright. Assistant. ON TO BALTIMORE For the Colored Club women in August of this year of our Lord A. D. 1916, all roads lead—not to Rome—but to Baltimore, on the Chesapeake. In less than two months there will be assembled under one roof in Baltimore a most remarkable company of women, members of a race downrodden, rapidly advancing to take its place among the most highly civilized nations of modern times. nations of modern times. The 10th Biennial of the N. A. C. W. which opens at Bethel A. M. E. church August 6 bids fair to eclipse all other conventions. Club women all over the country are enthusiastic in their preparations to attend, their slogan being "On to Baltimore"; their watchword, "service," their loyalty concentrated in their leader, Mrs. Booker T. Washington. Among the notable clubwomen of the country who will be heard on the program at Baltimore are: Mrs. Joanna Porter, Chicago; Mrs. Gertrude Ball, Lexington, Mo.; Mrs. D. M. Butler, Mississippi; Mrs. Norris Clarke, Virginia; Mrs. R. L. Smith, Texas; Mrs. Lizzie A. Fouse, Kentucky; Mrs. Mattie Hicks, Minnesota; Mrs. S. W. Layton, Pennsylvania; Mrs. Ethelyn Collins, Ohio; Miss Judith Horton, Oklahoma; Miss C. N. Doge, California; Miss L. C. Snowden, Kentucky. Miss Anna Jones of Kansas City is chairman of the program committee. There will be an interesting symposium on Woman suffrage and representatives of several national race organizations for uplife will make reports. An interesting feature of the program will be the report of Mrs. Marq B. Talbert, vice president at large, oof her trip across the continent, inspiring and encouraging the women of eleven states with her wonderful personality. "On to Baltimore!" Let the slogan soar. Wives and mothers, sisters, brothers. "On to Baltimore!" MRS. W. W. FRANCIS, Chairman Press Committee National Ass'n colored Women's Clubs. PRICE. 5c. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright by Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JUNE 25 REVIEW. SECOND QUARTER. READING LESSON—Philippians 1:1-11; 4:1-8. GOLDEN TEXT — Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever ever things are pure, whatsoever things are are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, on these things, -Phill. 43. the lessons for the past three months extend over a period of perhaps fifteen years, from A. D. 37 or 40 to A. D. 52 or 55. It is the history of an ever expanding church and the ever widening influence of the work which Jesus began and continued to do after his resurrection, through the Holy Spirit. No adequate or proper review can be conducted without the aid of a map. If none is available, take a large sheet of manila paper and let some of the scholars make an outline map showing the strategic centers, Jerusalem, Damascus, Antioch and as far west as Philipp, also the country involved, the coast line of the "Great Sea," etc. It is a good idea not to locate the chief cities, but have pupils attach to the map small, round, red and white stickers on which might be printed the name of each city. Then other pupils might trace on the map the course of Paul's journeys. If all of this work is done in the presence of the entire school it will aid greatly in holding attention as well as placing before the scholars a visible delineation of the lands involved in this portion of sacred history. The most outstanding incidents which have been studied during the past quarter, such as the conversion of Saul, the healing of Aeneas, the raising of Dorcas, Peter's visit to Cornelius, etc., could also be located geographically by means of thumb tacks with tags attached. A most interesting review would be to organize in the school a number of travel clubs. Let each club come prepared to give a "travelogue," or travel talk, describing some of the chief events, such as the Damascus journey, a journey to Joppa, to Cyprus, to Iconium, from Antioch to Jerusalem, etc. Let the pupils write out their accounts and as each is written have some scholar indicate on the map the places involved, and others hang up in plain sight of the entire school a piece of cardboard bearing a single sentence indicative of the leading lesson of the event described. This latter will mean to use a sentence or parts of sentences as: "We are men of like passions as you." The element of contest could be employed by having all the pupils in a given department bring such sentences relating to the lessons on cards, and let that scholar who can bring the greatest number of sentences be declared the winner. The teacher must of course help materially in such a contest by direct suggestion and by encouraging the pupils to undertake the task before them. For the adult and older 'teen age classes it might be well to assign to different scholars a number of great problems which have been treated in the lessons of the quarter, and let each come to the class prepared to read a brief essay or to discuss the subject assigned, relating it of course to the work of the review. (Lesson I.) "How the Holy Spirit converts men today." (Lesson V.) "How can the church be aroused to the great work of missions." (Lesson VIII) "The Perils of Popularity." (Lesson XI) "The conditions of salvation" and so on. Another interesting plan would be to have different members of the class prepare at home a brief synopsis of the chief characters of the quarter's lessons: Peter, Dorcas, Cornellus, Rhoda, John, Mark, Barnabas, Silias, Timothy, Luke, Lydia, the Philippian jailor. Of course Paul will have to be considered from many different viewpoints: I Paul, the persecutor; Paul, the missionary, the organizer, the writer, the great Christian hero. Either assign such subjects or allow the pupils to select. The entire book of the Acts is found in miniature in ch. 1:8 and on the map above referred to it might be of interest to draw a series of concentric rings marking each advance. Or on a plain sheet of paper, ignoring the map, draw the rings, the center to represent Jerusalem, the rest Judea or Palestine, the next Syria, the next Asia Minor, and the last one Greece for that is as far as we have gone during the past quarter. Each of the circles can be filled with brief statements or interesting information. If the circles be placed side by side they can be divided into four quarters. In one quarter place the names of the chief persons involved, in the second the principal events, in the third the places and in the remaining circle of the dates. Such a use or charts is valuable in that it appeals to the eye, is a real test of knowledge and helps to systematize our information for future use. The facts of the quarter are about as follows: Lesson I. The Risen Christ by his overwhelming glory conquers his bitter enemy, Saul. Lesson II. Men are healed and the dead raised by the power of the Risen Christ. Lesson III. Peter, the Jew, is prepared and Cornelius, the Gentile, is called to a momentous conference. Lesson IV. Jew and Gentile alike receive the gospel and are sealed by the Holy Spirit. Lesson V. The Risen Christ by his angel delivers his servant, Peter. Lesson VI. The Holy Spirit calls Barnabas and Saul to a world ministry. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS THE ONE WHO STAYED. The tale is not much, Nor known in the annals of war; it was told in a breath By the fires of the camp; it was only By the fires of the camp; it was only - devotion and death. There were many of such. His life for the flag, like a freeman; for he was a slave, And ignorant, low In the scale of humanity's worth, as the bulk of his race; But he filled a man's place. But it sank on the shoal; they must push it away, if it bore Their number; then lo! Already a Negro was leaping. "I'll do it!" he cried, And bent to the task. "You soldiers can fight for the flag! You must all get away! Who cares if I stay?" Ab. stalwart to serve. Ah, stalwart to serve, The arms that had toiled in the cotton! He gave, to the last, The sum of his strength; for the fugi- The sum of his strength; for the fugi- tives' peril was past. For his soul did not swerve. Uncomely the clay Whereof he was fashioned—yet now, when bullets had rent A sevenfold way for the life that he gave with content, It seemed, where he lay, As if honor impartial had claimed him —to count him apart "I am inclined to think that the mind of the Negro has been too long centered on himself," declared Prof. I. M. Terrell in an address delivered at Houston, Tex. "He has been disposed to determine the worth or worthiness of a movement by the direct good he was to derive from it. We can no longer afford to measure the value of things in terms of our own direct benefits. So long as we continue to do this, we may never hope to be counted in fact a part of this great country; nor can we expect to demand and receive equal rights and privileges. An individual or race that fails in the performance of duty forfeits all claims to any rights, for duty is paramount to all rights. And you may be assured if you perform your duty, your rights and privileges will follow. It is our duty to prepare ourselves to live the fullest possible lives; to be of the greatest use to the community in which we happen to live and to the state and country at large. It is our duty to take advantage of every opportunity to improve ourselves to the end that society generally will feel us less and less a burden or liability and more and more an asset. "As fast as the white people of Houston or any other city or town are convinced that you are responding to the opportunities and advantages offered, they are willing and are going to extend them; and so, after all, it is up to us as to what rights and privileges we shall enjoy. A wise use of those granted is certain to open up new ones. I know that in every instance where wisdom has governed the A Bible to President Lincoln in 1864 by Negroes in Baltimore as a token of their appreciation for the part he took in the emancipation of their race, has been received at Nashville, Tenn., as the gift of Robert T. Lincoln to Fisk university, the local educational institution for Negroes. The gift was announced by the president of the university, Dr. F. A. McKenzie. Mr. Lincoln says in his letter to President McKenzie: "Please express the pleasure that I have in requesting Fisk university to accept the permanent custody of the very interesting Bible presented to my father by a large number of colored persons as a testimonial of their feelings upon the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. It has seemed to me better that this notable testimonial should be preserved in some institute where its resting place will be permanent, and I can think of no more fitting selection than the institution founded by Gen. Clinton Bowen Fisk, immediately upon completing a distinguished military service in the war which resulted in the abolition of human slavery in our country." No great war of our time has ended during the winter months, nor, with the exception of the Russo-Japanese war, has any begun then. For a century all wars have begun in the spring, summer or early autumn and ended between March and August. The American hen produced during the last census year nearly 20,000,000,000 eggs, and the product has been increasing since that time. Winter temperature of Cuba ranges from 60 to 85 degrees. "Breaking" Habits Unwise. Trying to "break" children of habits is an error of method, the Spokane Spokesman-Review observes. The reason is that habit, according to William James, a great psychologist, not only is second nature, but has become nature itself and that nature is not to be driven, but must be coaxed and led. Displace habit with something else. Replace it on the policy of substituting some better activity. An average child even if only five years old, can, action of the Negro he has received the encouragement and assistance of the white people. "In concluding my remarks, I wish to exhort all, especially those who have achieved these new honors, that at bottom and as the basis of all life and progress must rest the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ. Except we eliminate all deceit and selfishness and get right down to the good old way and not only say we are willing to do so, but actually treat every man as we would like to be treated, there is no way to escape friction and disruption. "I hope the day has dawned when every member of my race will see the wisdom of being upright, honest, reliable and intelligent so that he will have the respect and confidence of the better element of all races. If we are to play the important role in the industrial and economic development of our state and country which it is possible for us to do, we must learn to be more dependable; for labor that is nondependable, that cannot be relied on, is certain to be replaced by other and more reliable labor. When all men shall have reached the point that they will quit trying to deceive each other and remember that honesty is the best policy, we will then be on the road to a better mutual understanding and therefore to a better racial relationship. Let this occasion be an incentive to all for a higher faith in the ultimate outcome of mankind." The refusal of congress to provide for additional Negro regiments in the enlarged army has received a rebuke from Governor Whitman of New York. He has authorized the enlistment of a colored regiment of the National Guard of the Empire State, and the heartening part of it is that, whereas four years ago a similar proposition was strongly opposed by the guardsmen, they support the governor's action today. The Negroes, according to the New York Press, promise that their regiment will be recruited with expedition and that their soldiery "will speedily prove itself worthy of comparison with the whites in loyalty, discipline, alertness and endurance." We pointed out, the other day, that the colored troops now in Mexico were demonstrating just that; indeed, that they were among the best American fighting stock south of the Rio Grande. Of course this is nothing new. The record of the Negro soldiery in the Civil war, when 180,000 fought to preserve the Union, was splendid in every respect. So was its record in our war with Spain. In short, the Negro has won the right through sacrifice and efficiency to be considered an active part of our national defense. If the great state of New York relies upon its colored stock to make satisfactory guardsmen, what a disgrace for the national congress, if, because of sectional hatred, it refuses to consider the ready and willing Negro for the regular army!—Milwaukee Free Press. An Irish author who has recently published a fifth-century romance insists that the "O" of his name (O'Sullivan) should not be capitalized because it is a corruption of the Gaelic word "us," meaning "the descendant of." He avers that both the apostrophe and the hyphen are recent intrusions in the field of human nomenclature. Through J. P. Rawley, a map publisher of 856 Broadway, a campaign to raise $50,000 for increasing the equipment of the Slater Industrial School for Negroes at Winston-Salem, N.C., has spread to New York. A letter sent out by William A.

Through Africa on Foot Photo by Radelyte Duamore CENTRAL AFRICAN LANDSCAPE ON foot through Africa, from the Cape to Cairo, with no white companion—no one save the negro bearers who carried his camp equipage—this is the record "hike" of Earnest Sevier Cox, young Tennesseean, now in Washington to put the results of his wanderings and investigations into book form. A "race sociologist," Mr. Cox calls himself, modestly adding that the title is one of his own coming and that it better expresses the idea he wishes to convey than any other he has yet thought of. "King of the wanderlusters" might more expressively describe those of his achievements that may be expected to appeal most strongly to the average reader. Not only has he walked, unaccompanied by any other white person, almost the length of the dark continent from south to north, but he has also performed a pedestrian feat of greater magnitude than even that stupendous hikes—he has crossed, afoot and by canoe, the continent of South America, from the west coast to the mouth of the Amazon river, climbing the Andes, striking the headwaters of the great river at one of its multitude of sources deep in the South American forests, and this venture, too, unaccompanied by any person of his own race, and in the company of none but native bearers. And, greatest of all, he has made these travels afoot and other wanderings along coast lines for thousands of miles, to the antipodean continent of Australasia, the islands of the East Indies, Japan, Hawaii—girdling the KARA BANCHIT COLLEGE OF ARTS NATIVES DANCING AFTER KILLING A LION globe and covering a distance far greater than would have been required in simply circumnavigating the world — wholly at his own expense. How He Made the Trip. It was while studying at the University of Chicago that the opportunity offered for the journey that finally resulted in the Cape-to-Cairo tramp, from the southern tip to the northern extremity of Africa. Mr. Cox used his own funds in getting to Cape Town, taking a third-class passage, and arriving at his destination with less than $100 in his pocket. Funds were necessary if the remainder of the journey was to be made. So Mr. Cox went to the Kimberley diamond mines, where, under an American mine superintendent, he worked as boss of a gang of black diamond diggers for a year. the hut in which the church built by Eng conditions imposed ties in England h This church is near noted explorer died.

Striking the sou equatorial Africa, the historic stream and to Cairo. From by steamer down In his tramp through the heart of the region where man-eating lions abound Mr. Cox and his bearers were many times threatened with attack. Once at Ujjjil, at a time when, suffering with malarial fever, he traveled at night to avoid the heat of the sun, he and his party had such an experience. Arousing his bearers shortly after midnight, by welding a long stick inside Africa, stopping at every important port. A map of his trip down the coast is a continuation of loops, with a stopping point for every city, town or important village on the coast line along the Indian ocean. From Cape Town, to which he returned, Mr. Cox went to Australasia, where for a time he lectured, though he is not a professional lecturer. Youth. Youth is not a time of life. It is not a matter of ripe cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions. It is the freshness of the deep springs of life. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin; but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul—Dr. Frank Grane. opera house, New York, one night. Before the curtain rose, the entire group fell asleep, one after the other, and stayed asleep for two hours. It was a curious sight, and old opera goers said they never knew of the feast being equaled. The Spanlard paid $21 for the seven seats. Father's Obituary. "Well," sighed father today, "If I should die tomorrow I would want the newspapers to print this obituary: Pleasing Reception, "Who is your favorite comedian?" "Slithers of the 'Follies.'" "Still, he isn't as famous as some of his contemporaries." "No, and as a matter of fact, he isn't as funny as some other comedians, but he stands high in my regard because he has never said that he would like to play 'Hamlet.'" Enjoying the Opera A well-dressed Spanish, accompanied by six young and pretty Spanish girls, occupied seven seats in the orchestra circle at the Metropolitan regardless of whom it might hit, he directed the packing of the baggage boxes and started the bearers off. Just then a lion roared in the bush near by. Another answered from the opposite direction, and others roared in the jungle all around. The bearers, terrified, refused to proceed, but Mr. Cox, by threats, compelled them to move, and the night's journey, by the feeble light of a waning moon, was begun between prowling man-eaters only kept off by the size of the party. Malaria and Tsetse Fly. For more than four hundred miles Mr. Cox traveled while in the grip of malarial fever. Such a feat, to the average person, seems incredible. The fever, however, is intermittent, and does not waste the sufferer's strength rapidly. First-class physical condition to begin with, the character of the fever, and the fact that during this time most of his traveling was done at night, enabled Mr. Cox to cover the 400 miles. Part of this journey was through the belt infested by the dreaded tsetse, the fiy that causes the African sleeping sickness, and from the bite of which there is no recovery. Leagues and leagues of the country in this infested zone, Mr. Cox said, was deserted by all domestic animals. No natives could or would live there, and it was only by the use of threats and promises of extraordinary rewards that his own bearers were induced to traverse the tsetse belt. At Uijiji, the place where Stanley found Livingstone, lion-infested territory was crossed. At Livingstone, near Stanley falls, he visited the THE WARS OF 1861 the hut in which the black boys slept, church built by English residents after conditions imposed by church authorities in England had been rejected. This church is near the spot where the noted explorer died. During his journey Mr. Cox was given ample opportunity to make comparisons of the English, German and Belgian colonial policies. The Germans, he declares, control their possessions better than do the administrators of any other European nations. Absolute, unswerving justice, he asserted, is the keynote of the German administration in African possessions of the kaiser. Striking the sources of the Nile in equatorial Africa, Mr. Cox followed the historic stream down to its mouth and to Cairo. From there he traveled by steamer down the east coast of Africa, stopping at every important port. A map of his trip down the coast is a continuation of loops, with a stopping point for every city, town or important village on the coast line along the Indian ocean.

In the olden times it was practically the only cloth used, probably because of its cleanliness. It was known in Winchester, England, in 1272. In this country there are nearly 50,000 persons employed in the weaving of linen. TASTE OF "HOME COOKING" Woman Who Lives in Apartment Can Have it If She Will Do a Little Planning. Many a woman living in a two-room-and-bath apartment and taking her meals in an adjoining public dining room yearns at times for something "homemade" and delicious; chocolate layer cake, for instance, or scalloped oysters, or old-fashioned molasses cake, or soda biscuit, tender and piping hot, and made rich with a little shortening. One woman condemned—as she expresses it—to live in a luxurious hotel apartment most of the year, satisfies her housewife instincts by getting Sunday-night tea in her own apartment by aid of a chafing dish, a coffee percolator and a one-burner gas stove with a little oven about as big as a baby's hatbox. It is surprising how many delectable things can be baked in this absurd little oven. Out of it come small layer cakes, pans of light biscuit, toothsome little drop cakes, small pans of piping-hot Sally Lunn and rich gingerbread for the Sunday n_lh supper. The little oven bakes only a small quantity—enough biscuit for four persons, twice around, and layer cake which makes six good-sized slices; but the Sunday night opportunities to have a taste of real home cooking are much appreciated by privileged guests who also dwell in boarding places. No woman with fastidious taste—and thought for her neighbors—would venture to cook steak or fry potatoes in an apartment house, where odors of cooking are not supposed to permeate; but creamed entrees, salads, baking of the sort referred to and various appetizing scalloped entrees may be prepared by aid of chafing dish and a little oven of the sort. The small ovens may be used on electric grills also, and rare is the woman who does not enjoy an occasional "cooking fest" to keep her hand in at housekeeping.—Pittsburgh Dispatch. CARE IN TABLE DECORATION People as a Rule Don't Like to Play peek-a-Boo at Dinner, Says Miss Holman. A few flowers are in good taste and add charm to the dining table but the whole greenhouse or garden should not be used. They shouldn't fairly scream out for attention, asserts Miss Araminta Holman, instructor in home art. "Decorations should always add beauty to the article which they decorate," says Miss Holman. "The flowers that are dainty, delicate and sparingly used are attractive on the table in the dining room. A small fern is appropriate. The flowers are of less importance than the food, the dishes and the silver. One or two flowers are usually enough, properly arranged. "Their tops should not be higher than the tallest dish on the table. Persons seated for the dinner should not have to play peek-a-boo around a tall vase of flowers." Furnishing Small Rooms FURNISHING SMALL ROOMS. In furnishing a small room two necessary points must be considered: First, that space is gained by making things as flat as possible against the wall; and, second, that stiffness is prevented then by introducing a plant or two, if the room is a living room or a dining room, and breaking the lines of the furniture by pulling out a table a little or turning a chair. A low seat 16 inches in height, running around a corner and along one side of the room to some break of door or window, saves space and furniture, and adds a charming effect. It should be upholstered, and have only an occasional rather small and carefully selected pillow. Low book shelves, too, built against the wall, furnish without furniture, but care must be taken that they are not extended in too continuous a straight line. A carpet or rug of a solid color also increases the effect of space. For Pure Milk Remember— To take the milk in at once and place it in the refrigerator. To keep milk and cream cold until ready for use. To wrap the bottle in a wet cloth, if ice is not available, and set in a dish of cold water by an open window, but out of the sun. The evaporation of water will keep the milk cool. To use the milk directly from the bottle as needed. To put no milk or cream back into the bottle after it has been poured out for use. To clean utensils first with cold, and then with boiling water; to thoroughly drain, and cool them before filling with milk. To have a separate bottle of milk for the baby. "Frenched" Strawberries. Wash and hull large strawberries, allowing six or eight to a person; cut fresh ripe pineapple in strips about one-quarter inch thick and one inch long, and insert in the berries to replace the hulls. Arrange individually and garnish with whipped cream, which has been sweetened to taste with powdered sugar. It may be tinted pale pink with vegetable coloring if desired.—Good Housekeeping. Brussels Sprouts and Beet Salad Brussels Sprouts and Beet Salad. Soak the sprouts in salted water for one hour, drain, cook in salted boiling water till tender, then drain again and chill. Place in the center of a salad bowl, surround with diced canned beets, pour French dressing over the whole and let stand in a cold place for half an hour before serving. Toasted Corn. An improvement over boiled corn is toasted corn, which has a much more delicious flavor. After boiling the ears six minutes, so as to cook them partially, remove to a breadoaster and place over hot coals, turning until they are browned evenly. New Tomato Recipe. When broiling or frying tomatoes sprinkle them generously with grated cheese just before serving and top each portion with a little whipped cream. DADDY'S EVENING FAIRY TALE by MARY GRAHAM BONNER "An old Dragon lived alone," said Daddy, "near the woods where the Brownies and Gnomes spent all their time." "Oh, dear me," said Nancy. "I will be afraid of the woods, Daddy." "Silly, indeed," said Nick. "Why, we would never see the Dragon, I'm sure. Think of all the times we go to the woods—we never have seen a sign of one." "Well," said Daddy, "there is nothing to be frightened of when you go in the woods. For the Dragon who lives there is very, very shy. He even thinks that is queer himself. "It was a long, long time before the Brownies and the Gnomes became friendly with him. They had to coax and coax him to come to their party one afternoon, but when he had decided to go he was so pleased that he said he would give one, too. I shall tell you how it happened: "One day a little Gnome suggested to the rest of the Gnomes and the Brownies that they pay a call upon old Dragon. They all thought it a fine scheme, and off they werts, all together. They arrived at the cave in the woods where the old Dragon lived, and the little Gnome who had started them off knocked on the cave with a piece of rock. "Come in, come in,' said a voice that sounded like a low roar. It was rather a shaky roar, too. "And in trooped all the little Gnomes and Brownies. 'We've come to ask you to our party this afternoon,' they said in chorus, "I'm too shy to come." "What? they all exclaimed in surprise. 'A big old Dragon shy!' "Yes, it's quite true," said the old Dragon very mournfully. "I know it's not at all what I'm supposed to be.' All the dragons in the picture books are awfully big Creatures with little Creatures walking into their mouths, whom they swallow. It's because we've got big mouths, I suppose.' At that he opened his mouth and a lot of the little Brownies rushed inside and stood on his tongue and laughed, saying: "You see, we're not afraid of being swallowed!' And when they had all crawled out again after their exciting adventure, the old Dragon's face was all wrinkled up with smiles. I'm so happy, he said, 'that you are not afraid of me. And we will be friends. I get lonely in this old cave, but I have never dared come out when anyone was around.' "But now you'll come to our Party, won't you, old Dragon? asked the Gnomes and Brownies. "Yes, I'd love fo,' said the Dragon; 'but you must promise me one thing.' "And all the Gnomes and Brownies raised their arms and called out: 'We promise.' "It is,' continued the Dragon, 'that you will not tell the Little Boys and Girls I live in this cave, for I love "I'm Too Shy to Comie." to see them so. When they're not looking, I peep out of my hole and I hear their merry voices and their bright laughs. Oh, it's so good to hear them—and when the days are nice they bring picnic baskets and they eat and chatter and have such a wonderful time. "Then, if you love them so much," said the Gnomes and Brownles, 'why won't you let them know you live here? "Because," said the Dragon, 'for so many, many years my name has filled them with fear. So I stay in my hole and just watch. And I've grown to be very shy because the picture books have made me so frightful and I have felt nobody wanted to see me. I'm really very gentle, and I wouldn't hurt a creature.' "And I'll give one for you tomorrow evening; hurrah!" said the now happy Dragon." MOTHER TRUSTS LITTLE BOY Bobby, After a Full Week of Obedience, Could Not Understand Why Jam Was Hidden. "Mother," said Bobby, after a full week of obedience, "have I been a good boy lately?" "Yes, dear," replied his mother, "a very, very good boy." "And do you trust me?" he continued. "Why, of course, mother trusts her little boy!" she answered. But the cheated child was hidden. But the chastened child was not pacified. "I mean really, really trust me, you know," he explained. "Yes, I really, really trust you," nodded his mother. "Why do you ask? "Just because," said Bobby, diving his hands into his pockets and looking her in the face. "If you trust me like you say you do, why do you go on hiding the jam?"—Intermountain Catholic.

QUINOLEUM MANUFACTURING COMPANY. CHAPTER 38. The meeting of the forty-fifth annual communication of the Grand Lodge in the city of Sedalia, August 9, 1911, will never be forgotten by those who have kept in touch with the affairs of the body of Missouri Masons. During the year rumors had gone forth, insidiously and rapidly as rumors do, especially among our people, that the affairs in the office of Grand Secretary were in a bad way and great unrest existed among the brethren. Brother J. H. Pelham, long and variously honored by the jurisdiction, had his host of friends who bitterly resented any imputations upon his integrity and there were those less friendly who eagerly took up the opposite view and declared that such charges might have been justly brought to view many years before. There can be no doubt, as subsequent inquiries showed, that the business of the Grand Secretary was most carelessly managed and that some dangerous irregularities had existed for a long time, but it was doubtless as much the fault of the Grand Lodge as of the secretary. The Grand Lodge had ever been desultory in checking up the financial accounts of its officers, notwithstanding the lessons offered in the official careers of Bruce and Johnson. To be careless in overseeing the work of any employee to the extent that he expects the overseer to be careless is offering a temptation which most flesh is too JOE E. HERRIFORD. weak to withstand. In such case it is the employer and not the employee who is to blame. Few persons believed then or do they believe now that Joseph H. Pelham meant to wilfully defraud the jurisdiction of a single cent. Nor is it believed that there was anything dishonest in his Masonic disposition. He was simply given a long period of loose supervision and the result was what might mild and patient disposition, it placed have been expected. This being the first year of service for Grand Master Coles, who was of a him in a very embarrassing position and he was forced to take the initiative in bringing to an official end the career of one who had been his opponent during the elections of the year previous. Brother Coles was sensitive to this fact and proceeded with unusual caution along the line of action. A great deal of correspondence ensued, resulting in the jewel of the Grand Secretary, being arrested and the affairs of the office being placed it to the hands of Brother Geo. W. K. Love as Grand Auditor. Brother Love being an export accountant, soon got at the bottom of conditions and his report was not at all favorable to the Grand Secretary. The Grand Lodge heard these donuctions with sorrowful composition. There was indeed more of the spirit of sympathy than of blame, especially as the Grand Secretary had made good several items of the alleged shortage and promised to make up the others. It was thus ended after a most brilliant twenty-five years of homeage and adulations. At the beginning of the session, Grand Master Coxes delivered his annual address and greatly impressed the brethren by his high ideals of thought and his ease and fluency of language. He had devoted himself with much diligence to the various interests of the fraternity and his report indicated a strong grasp upon the situation. Some irregularities had been found in connection with the Masonic Home management and the Grand Master had corrected these as far as possible. The work of the year had been performed under great stress and under difficulties which would have disheartened many, but through which the Grand Master still pictured ultimate success and declared himself in favor of such reforms as might thereafter prevent a recurrence of Masonic official distress. M. W, J. Milton Collins, Grand Master of Masons for the Kansas jurisdiction, was at this time a welcome visitor and after a short but enthusiastic address, was by vote of the Grand Lodge declared to be its special guest during the session. Naturally as the working of the Relief Department increased in popularity there would be greater contention among the beneficiaries of deceased members of the Craft. In not a few cases already there had been serious contentions among these claimants, so much so that the grand officers had been greatly puzzled in their settlements. On this account it was thought wise by the Grand Lodge to create the appointee office of Grand Attorney whose business it should be to counsel with the Relief Board and if possible prevent legal entanglements. Brother Crittenden C. Clark of St. Louis, was the first to occupy this position and by choice of Grand Master Coles. Being an attorney of ability he rendered such satisfactory service to the jurisdiction during the three years thereafter that he was elected to the office of Junior Grand Warden, which office he now holds with brighter prospects ahead. When it came time to elect grand officers, interest most largely centered upon the office of Grand Secretary. Brother J. H. Pelham withheld his name from the contest and offered that of Past Grand Master Chas. G. Williams. The name of Geo. W. K. Love, who had demonstrated such rare ability in the office of Grand Auditor was too much for all opposition, however, and he was elected by a substantial majority. Edw. W. Levy, a brilliant young Past Master from St. Louis, became Grand Auditor and was a fit successor to the newly made Grand Secretary. 100 When you think of your Spring Sewing and a duplicate of your own body on which you can MAKE AND FIT EVERYTHING from the top of your collar to the hem of your skirt without trying on yourself, think of us.

All honor to the gallant boys of the Tenth cavalry living and dead. Walter S. Dickey will be elected United States senator by a majority of at least 40,000, if Republicans and Progressives stand together. It is gratifying to notice the increasing number of Negro businesses springing up in our city. It augers well for race loyalty and future prospects. It becomes more evident day by day that Hughes and Fairbanks will sweep this country by the greatest majority ever given a president in the history of the country. It was a distinct shock and occasioned the keenest regret among the colored people in general of this city to learn that Miss Mary Woods had not been reappointed at the last meeting of the School Board to teach in the schools this year. The Sun has no hesitancy in saying there is not a more accomplished, energetic, nor earnest teacher in this state than Miss Woods. Not only is she beloved and respected by the children who come under her care, but she stands as a foremost figure in fraternal and club circles, having held the exalted position of Royal Grand Matron of the Eastern Star for a number of years, also the position of Grand Treasurer and Beneficial Secretary in the organization. And as a platform speaker she has no superiors and few equals in the race. She was unanimously selected by the great Masonic family to deliver the address on "The Adoptive Rites" at the St. John's Celebration tomorrow, which is but a faint testimonial of the esteem in which she is held by the Colored people as a whole in this city. She is an orphan without brother or sister but with plenty of stamina and courage and will succeed wherever she may cast her lot. It is the sincere hope of the people of this city and the Sun as well that the Board of Education will restore Miss Woods to her former position in the schools of this city. 4 THEY SAY —That if you would know the value of a dollar, try to borrow one. —That the homier a girrl is the fewer temptations she has to dodge. —That the man who says he understands a woman fools nobody but himself. —That the girls are "cleaning up" in their sport clothes on the tennis court this summer. —That if war is hell it looks as though we are going to have a lot of hell for the next few weeks. —That if all the June brieds will just "stick," things will be booming around here next year. —That there will be more visitors in Kansas City this year than ever before in its history. —That a certain girl who is running around with a married doctor should be careful and not talk too much. Well, I should say. —That when you go on the tennis court and sit with your legs crossed to your knees, exposing money placed in your stocking you are looked upon thereafter with suspicion. --- —That Dr. Theo. Smith is the most ingenious and successful advertiser of the race in this section of the country. He knows how to get 'em comin' and gwine. * Those lying, cheating, measly, * miserable Negroes to whom we * have sent bills and our collectors * numerous times asking them to * pay what they just wee us, and * who repeatedly lie to us about * paying up, may as well get ready * to pay somebody, as we have put * a white collection agency on their * trail, with orders to attach every * thing they've got or get our * money. "Nuf ced." ```markdown ``` ARGENTINE, KANSAS (By Miss Ophelia Jackson.) Mr. J. W. Stamfer was taken seriously ill on last Sunday night. The Sunday school at the Second Baptist church was very largely attended last Sunday, the largest attendance during the season. Elmer Smith, 4-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. L. Smith, was very sick on last Monday evening, having had spasms. --- A little Mexican girl was run down and seriously injured on last Saturday night, but is doing nicely under the care of Dr. A. Porter Davis. The Misses Thursday Tillman and Mintie Alvin of Springfield, Mo., nieces of Mrs. McReynolds, are visiting for a week in the city. Mrs. Lillian Lacy and Now Nutie Tucker are agents for the National Relief, Sick and Accident Insurance Company, a Negro organization. --- The St. Paul A. M. E. Sunday school has changed the hour for opening to 9:30 a.m. every Sunday morning. The teachers desire that it be attended by both children and parents. Rev. Harris will preach a special sermon to the church on "Following Jesus" on next Sunday morning. He desires that each member be present. Rev. H. D. Harris returned from the District Conference on last Friday and reported a very pleasant session and as a whole the conference was more interesting and better attended than formerly. The Sunday school was represented by Misses Nellie Monroe and Hattie Emery. Miss Monroe read a paper on "Why We Lose Them," which was well received. Miss Emery made an excellent report of the Conference at St. Paul last Sunday evening. The rarely at the Baptist church last Sunday was a great success, financially and spiritually. Services were conducted by Rev. Walker at 11 o'clock, who preached a very enthusiastic sermon. In the afternoon Rev. H. D. Harris, pastor of St. Paul, preached a soul stirring sermon, "When the Spirit Comes It Will Guide You in the Ways of All Truth." Rev. Miller talked on the subject, "No Room in the Inn," which was very interesting. The collection was $33.36.

Wright, proprietor, 564 South 3rd street, Ar- mourdale, Kans. (Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman.) "Find a wife, settle down and I'll fix you for life," pronounced Abel Drake, uncle indulgent of Rodney Blair. "But, uncle," remonstrated the latter, "I don't want to marry. As to settling down, can anyone be more pleasantly and rationally adjusted to circumstances than I am? And as for fixing me for life, you have done that already." But the resolute and obstinate old relative wagged his head defiantly. He was used to being obeyed; when he conceived a notion it was difficult to budge him from its execution. "When I was a young man," he recited in quite a pathetic way, "I found an estimable girl. Like you, it jarred me to think of being tied down. She married well, probably never thought of me after she found a better man, but I missed it. Not only in losing her, but thenceforth adopting the lonely, selfish life that has made me half savage, wholly hermit. Take a month, look around the world, find a mate and come back and begin life as a man should, with a loyal partner to share his troubles and joys." For a week, pursuant to orders, Rodney drifted. He tried a fashionable summer resort and tired of its follies. It was a dreadful bore to wander about aimless, with no definite program to follow. He found innumerable fair faces, but they did not captivate him. "There must be something in this love business," he ruminated, "just as the analysts and sentimentists aver A "Here Are the Papers." where ideal conditions and the ideal girl are in conjunction, are not to be sought after, but met, unexpectedly, fatefully." If, however, fate was drifting him into the pathway of the ideal mate the process was slow. Several weeks passed by and Rodney was wearied of wandering. He had about made up his mind to write to his uncle resigning his wandering commission and returning home to the old cherished and longed-for life, when something happened. It came with rather startling mystery and abruptness. Rodney had reached a little city in a state of the middle West, and had put up at a hotel deciding with the morning to purchase his tickets for a return to his original starting place. He put in an hour in the lobby at a cigar and reading the evening papers. There was a crowd of new arrivals, and the clerk at the office desk had his hands full and hurriedly slid across the counter the key asked for by Rodney. He had not yet been up to his room and handed the key to a bellboy. Once within the apartment he sat down at a table, discovering there the usual outfit of writing and hotel paper. Rodney wrote fully to his uncle of his intentions to return, sealed the letter and started to go to the lower floor to mail it, when he paused. "It is room seventy-seven," he heard a tremulous feminine voice say. "This is it, miss," was the reply, evidently by the floorboy. There came a timid knock at the door. Rodney opened it. A beautiful young girl, accompanied by an anxious-faced lady of middle age, stood there. Both directed quick, agitated glances at Rodney. "You are Mr. West," fluttered the girl, and her evident distress, even fright, almost pained Rodney, it was so intense. "We received your note. If you will call at our home tomorrow morning we will have the money for you, provided you deliver the papers." Regiment of Redheads. Give a regiment an inspiring name and it charges on the double-quick to glory. The Death's Head Hussars, the Life Guards, the Black Watch, the Rough Riders—one's blood tingles to such names as to a bugle call. Who wouldn't fight hard in the regiment now being recruited for Uncle Sam as "The Redheads?" Every man in this new volunteer organization is to qualify, first of all, by the fire in his thatch. The redder his hair the heartier his welcome. The editor of a magazine published in the special interests of adventurers is sounding the call to colors, and redheads are flocking by dozens round his gory standard. "The main point," he contends, and we agree with him utterly, "is that the redheads ought to be one of the best fighting units, and one of the best known, that ever took the field." Aye! Not only will they take the field—when their time comes, they will sweep it! Since red is not protective coloration, this regiment should be reserved for charges against the enemy—Collier's Weekly. Where They Hangle With Uncle Sam HERE is a government firing line where firing is almost constantly going on. No blood is spilled, but interest is intense always, for it is shooting for money—big money. Long shots predominate. It is in a queer place for a firing line—in a former art gallery. In other words, the old abode of the Corcoran gallery, Seventeenth street and Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, D. C., now houses the United States court of claims; and there nearly every day of the court's sessions eminent counsel endeavor to score a bull's-eye and thereby win for themselves and their clients coin of the realm in sums all the way from a few thousands to many millions of dollars. It is a mighty absorbing and always alluring game, because, as a rule, the stakes are high. Competitors are numerous because, if a hit is made, the pay is sure. At the present writing some ninety-nine millions (in fresh crinkly notes of Uncle Sam worth 100 per cent of each 100 cents) are involved. That is, cases are now pending in the court of claims calling for $98,730,115.70. A judgment by the court of claims, unless reversed by the United States Supreme court, is as good as cash. It follows that the prize of prizes in legal circles today is some sort of a fairly well substantiated claim against the United States government. In numerable such claims are discovered and made. The cases now pending number more than ten thousand. Needless to say if all or any considerable part of this ninety-nine million dollars is paid it will come out of the United States treasury—l. e., out of the pockets of the people of the United States. There fore, on this firing line the people have their representatives, the same consisting of a numerous staff of attorneys retained upon salaries by Uncle Sam. Nominally their chief is the attorney general, but the attorney general in person is engrossed with greater matters—the construction and enforcement of the greater laws, particularly the antitrust laws. He has very little time to devote to "routine." The gentleman in actual charge, therefore, is the "assistant attorney general in charge of the defense of suits against the United States." Under the present administration this gentleman is Mr. Huston Thompson of Denver, Colo., former classmate at Princeton of President Wilson. Mr. Thompson holds one of the many big submerged jobs in the government service. This Denver man, the records show, has injected western hustle into his job. When he came into the office he found the dockets of the court of claims cluttered up with some twenty-odd thousand cases. Now the total is 10.706 cases. The claims run all the way from a few thousand dollars into the millions. They originate for the most part in the numerous contracts made by all departments of the government for the building of battleships, cruisers, and other vessels; the erection of public buildings; dredging and improvement of rivers and harbors; the building and maintenance of dams, locks, and seawalls; reclamation projects; construction of dry docks; contracts for army supplies; contracts with mail contractors and railroad companies for carrying mails; claims for the alleged use and infringement of patented devices; and suits where it is contended that an implied contract exists. In amount the so-called "Divisor case" is the largest. The railroads are attacking the validity of an executive order issued in 1907 which bases compensation for carrying the mails upon a division of the total weight by seven rather than by six. It is a contention that a seven-day week rather than a six-day week was meant in the statute covering railway mail pay. If the government loses this case it must pay to the railroads over $40,000,000. One of the highest dams in the world has produced one of the biggest law suits in the world. As is shown by the accompanying picture, this dam is a bigger proposition, as far as height goes, than the United States capitol building with its enormous dome at Washington, D. C. It is the dam which stores water for the Shoshone irrigation project in Wyoming. The contestants are endeavoring to collect more than $800,000 in addition to the $1,338,000 allowed under the terms of the contract as interpreted by the United States reclamation service. The original contractors went into bankruptcy after the first year's work on the job and the bonding company behind the contractors took over the contract. An unprecedented spring flood in the Shoshone river, accompanied by a run of saw logs from a mill operated a mile or so above the site of the dam, washed out the temporary works which had been stalled preparatory to the construction of the present concrete dam. It is also alleged that the government made requirements not specified in the terms of the original contract which necessitated the removal of the foundation of the dam 12 feet upstream. It is sought to fasten on the government responsibility for the run of saw logs and it is contended that the requirements of the government engineers were unusual and unnecessarily strict. The contentions of the United States, on the other hand, are that neither contractor appreciated the peculiar difficulties of the work undertaken; that the plant and material brought on the ground for the performance of the work was conspicuously inadequate; that the engineers employed by the contractors were incompetent and inefficient and not qualified by training and experience for the undertaking of such a work; and, in short, that all of the difficulties encountered grew out of the negligence, inefficiency and improper methods of the contractors. The claims growing out of naval matters are numerous and large. There is a device used in manufacturing torpedoes which is known as a "superheater." It is a contrivance whereby fuel is burned in the compressed air driving the motor Mrs. Russell Sage continues her interest in education. She has given $250,000 to an art school for young women in Troy, N. Y. Several German chemists are endowing to find economical processes for the recovery of combustible material from coal' ashes. To increase the volume of sound from a phonograph a Parisian has invented an instrument that will play three records simultaneously. "Yea, here is the address," fluttered the other lady, and then her words ended in a sharp cry. She had placed a card with writing on it upon the table. As she did so her eye fell upon the letter Rodney had just addressed. She turned white and faint. She seized the arm of her companion, swaying weakly, as though about to faint. "Oh, Ethel," she gasped, "some new mystery! Quick! get me away from here." "I am not—" began Rodney in disclaimer, but the two visitors had hastened the room. He was at a loss to understand the motive of the strange call. The fact that the superscription on the envelope on the table had caused the elder woman distress was palpable. He tried to study it out as he placed the letter in his pocket. Then he hurried into the hall intent on overtaking the two women, but they had evidently already left the floor on the elevator. The incident gave him food for thought. There was a curtained alcove at a bay window at one angle of the room. Turning off the light, Rodney seated himself there and looked down at the street. Perhaps he might see the two women leave the hotel. The face of the younger one had impressed itself indelibly upon his memory. Suddenly he was aroused. Two men had entered the room. The electric light was switched on. "No word at the office of the hotel," spoke one. "Oh, well, we shall still hear from them by morning," returned the other. "Here, are the papers," and he extended a package. And then the men indulged in a brief, but enlightening conversation, Rodney Blair had led a quiet, unventful life. The disclosures of the two men fairly fired him. They were professional blackmailers. They had discovered some scandal against the dead husband of the elderly woman who had called with her niece. They had come to the town to demand all the poor woman had for a return of the incriminating documents. It was then that Rodney realized that he had been shown to the wrong room by the bellboy. The villainy of the two conspirators stirred him up intensely. They parted without discovering him. One of the men placed the package and some other belongings under a pillow of the bed, put out the light and retired for the night. It was a breathless experience that Rodney Blair went through before midnight, so foreign to the usual humdrum system of his life that he was burglar, fugitive and hero, all in one, according to story-book process. He was resolute to protect a defenseless woman, however. He regained his own room, the precious packet in his possession, grandly exultant. More so, when he sought out Mrs. Mary Winslow the next day and gave her the papers that prevented a blot being placed upon the name of one dead, who had not been to her a good husband, but whose name she felt it dislolous not to protect. And then Rodney Blair made a discovery—why the sight of a letter directed to his uncle had so startled the woman. He made a second within the two ensuing weeks—that he loved her pretty niece, Alice Durant. "I have found what you sent me after, uncle," he announced, reappearing on the home scene one day. "Found a wife, have you?" chuckled the old man. "All right, let me see who she is and I'll give you my blessing." So they made the journey together. And then there came to Abel Drake the surprise of his life, as his nephew had foreseen. For Mary Winslow was his boyhood love. It was natural that the old-time courting should be renewed. It was inevitable that it all eventuated in a double wedding. Territorial Taxation Generally speaking, the cost of territorial administration in the United States is borne by the federal government. In Hawaii a direct property tax brings in most of the receipts, which in 1914 were $3,768,468, while the expenses of the territory were $4,687,545. The revenues of Alaska are mainly derived from business licenses; they amount to about $1,000,000. It is estimated that the United States government has spent $41,560,168 in administering the territory of Alaska, including the purchase price of $7,200,000. The United States congress pays one half of the expenses of the District of Columbia, its citizens the other half. Quick Work. Hank had been courting Mandy for six years. At last he plucked up courage to pop the question. "Oh, Hank," said Mandy. "This is so sudden." "I know it is, Mandy," replied the ardent swain, "but I was afraid if I didn't get a hustle on me some of these other fellers might get ahead of me." The total receipts of the theaters in Paris in 1914 were 41,600,000 francs, as compared with 68,450,000 francs in 1913. Not True Character. Make no mistake. The man who seeks to cultivate certain qualities of character primarily for the sake of the concrete success he believes will result from their exercise, is foredoomed to failure; such a character, from its very inception, is a sham, and character and resultant effects of service, and success, will some day under the stress of adverse circumstance, crumble into dust together. Record One's Own Thoughts "We view the world with our own eyes, each of us, and we make from within us the world we see," wrote Thackeryay. "A weary heart gets no gladness out of sunshine; a selfish man is skeptical about friendship, as a man with no ear doesn't care for music." Ancient Curiosities. "This museum contains a number of interesting relics." "Yes?" "Among the exhibits there is a dinosaurus, an ichthyosaurus and a motor car made in 1899." Huge sums involved in suits brought against the government in the court of claims at Washington. HERE is a government firing line where firing is almost constantly going on.

The question now is whether the United States must pay the E. W. Bliss company $500 per torpedo purchased by the United States during the last five years containing this device. The total amount at issue is $225,000. It is an intricate patient case, the decision of which depends upon whether patents held by the Bliss company cover the type of "superheater" used in the American torpedo. Litigation over sixteen years old involves the question whether the United States government must disgorge more than $340,000 in addition to the million already paid for the government dry dock at the League Island Navy yard, Philadelphia. The contractor claims he was compelled to make a much greater excavation than was specified in the terms of the contract covering the work. The answer of the government is that the contractor did not follow the method recommended by the board of naval engineers, which had studied the matter, and hence was himself responsible and liable for the extra cost. The court of claims has sustained the contractor and the department of justice is now asking the Supreme court to overrule the court of claims. generally is valued at astonishingly high figures. A submarine case involves $400,000. It hinges upon a string of patents on buoyance-regulating apparatus for submarine boats. The Electric Boat company is back of the case. It claims "that the invention described and claimed in said several letters patent, and each of them, are and have been recognized to be of great utility and value in the construction and operation of submarine boats." The original inventor, Lawrence Y. Spear, assigned his rights to the Submarine Boat company. It is carefully pointed out that "Spear was the original, first and sole inventor of the improvements," and it is then declared that the United States has used the inventions without license and has neglected and refused to pay royalty. About the right thing for Uncle Sam to do, it is alleged, is to pay the Electric Boat-company $100,000 per submarine boat containing the Spear apparatus. At the date of the filing of the brief, December 10, 1915, four such boats were in use. The case, however, involves a demand for another $100,000, for each boat built subsequently by the United States in which the inventions are used. Land-grant railroads, under the terms of their charters, are required to carry troops of the United States free. The question has now come up as to whether the National Guard when transported to the annual maneuvers in various parts of the United States "are troops of the United States." As the test case stands the Southern railroad asks for $2,447.90 for the payment of railway fares for the transportation of officers and men of the Alabama National Guard and the Mississippi National Guard from points in Alabama and Mississippi to the United States military post and camp at Chickamauga Park, Georgia, in 1908 and 1910. When finally disposed of, however, a much larger amount will be involved. It will set a precedent under which, if the Southern railroad is successful, other of the land-grant railroads will come into court and ask pay for transporting the militia. The established practice of the war and treasury departments is that the organized militia when participating with the regular army at a military camp at joint maneuvers and field instructions are entitled to the pay, subsistence and transportation allowances of the officers and men of the regular army; that said organized troops when so transported are traveling under orders of the war department, and payment for their transportation can only be made on the same basis applicable to the regular army. This would mean that transportation for militia over land-grant railroads would be subject to the land-grant deductions made for the transportation of regulars. It is held that the expression, "troops of the United states," as used in land-grant acts is sufficiently broad to include organized militia when traveling under the orders of the war department. 20 LAGUE ISLAND DRY DOCK, PHILADELPHIA The court of claims has already held that the members of the National Guard do not become "troops of the United States" until they are called out and mustered into the federal service by the president. Hence, this court has declared that the Southern railroad ought to be paid the extra $2,447.70. To this judgment the department of justice demurred and is now asking the Supreme court for a review of the case.

That little vest-pocket stamp book, with a dozen stamps in it, price 25 cents, is the subject of a lawsuit in which Uncle Sam is asked to pay more than $1,000,000 damages. It is declared to be royalties due the付件者 of the stamp-book idea. The case goes back to 1898. In that year, through Senator Penrose, two models of a stamp book patented by Frank G. Farnham, together with a printed pamphlet explanatory of the device, were referred to the then third assistant postmaster general. John A. Merritt was third assistant at the time and replied that "the department deems it inexpedient to sell postage stamps in the way proposed. However, after July 1, 1899, the then third assistant postmaster general, Edwin C. Madden, designed without knowledge of the existence of the Farnham patent the stamp book now used by the department. The bureau of engraving and printing evolved methods for its manufacture and the post office department began the public sale of two-cent stamps in book form. Farnham wants the alleged profits of the government on the sale of the stamp books during the ten-year period from 1900 to 1910. The governments sells 12 two-cent stamps for a quarter, charging one cent for the book. The contention is that the profits on the sale of the books during the ten years have exceeded a million dollars. Farnham's attorneys have appealed to the Supreme court, where a final decision is now expected. preme court, where a final decision is now expected. Another interesting suit is that brought by the contractor who constructed lock and dam No. 27. Ohio river, which cost, approximately, $1,250,000. The contractor wants an additional $147,000. This lock and dam is located about ten miles below Cincinnati and at the time of its completion about five years ago was the largest movable, as distinguished from the stationary, dam in the world, being 900 feet across the navigable pass alone, with the lock on the Ohio side and three bear traps each 80 feet wide on the Kentucky side of the river. A bear trap consists of two concrete piers or walls with wooden shutters at each end hinged to the bottom of the dam structure. The shutters may be raised or lowered for the purpose of allowing surplus water to escape, thus obviating the continual raising and lowering of the dam proper in the navigable pass. The dam is movable, in that its construction is of Chanoine weirs, which consist of wooden wickets about 18 feet high and 3 feet wide, and are upon hinges substantially fastened to a sill embedded in the concrete foundation extending to bedrock. When up during low water the wickets in the navigable pass resemble a high board fence, and vessels then pass through the lock, and when the river rises sufficiently they are lowered and boats pass right over them. The suit grows out of the alleged misrepresentation by the government of the depth to which the contractor would have to excavate to bedrock.

The suit grows out of the alleged misrepresentation by the government of the depth to which the contractor would have to excavate to bedrock: The production of white arsenic in the United States in 1914 indicates an output amounting to 4,670 short tons, valued-at $313,147. This exceeds the largest previous output, that of 1913 (2,513 tons, valued at $159,236), by 46 per cent. The town of Waterboro, Me., at its annual town meeting voted the sum of $50 toward the erection and maintenance of an outlook station on Ossipee mountain, with the understanding that other towns or parties raise a sufficient amount to make a total of $500. A party of four persons in an automobile were recently carried through the air 225 feet above the surface by means of an aerial cableway over the Elephant Butte dam. Mme.

Home Town Helps BEAUTIFY HOME WITH VINES Wise Builder Well Knows the Value of This Cheap and Pretty Ornamentation. The costliest and least satisfactory way to make your home look "different" is to load the house with ornamentation. The next poorest bargain is to scatter all over your lawn flashy trees and shrubs, especially the cut-leafed, weeping and variegated kinds, for this will make your place look just like every beginner's in every city the world over. The best way to put personality and brilliance and color into home grounds is to have a different set of vines for every house. One place will have Virginia creepers, trumpet honeysuckle, and bittersweet. The next place will have wild grape, wild clematis, and rose. Both will be beautiful the year round, and neither need cost a cent, because you can dig the plants from the open. Ready for the Vines. While you are waiting for the permanent vines to grow, you can cover your porch the first year, without spending a cent, by sowing seeds of wild cucumber vine or collecting seeds of morning glory in regions where it runs wild. In the garden cities of England, such as Bournville and Letchworth, which are the most beautiful of their kind in the world, many thousands of dollars have been saved by building very plain houses, and providing different sets of vines for every house. PUBLIC PARKS A NECESSITY Few Cities Today Fail to Recognize the Importance of Providing Proper Breathing Spaces. A park commissioner of Louisville makes the following statement regarding the purpose and value of parks: "The use of public parks is to promote the wellbeing and happiness of the people, to alleviate the hard conditions of crowded humanity, to encourage outdoor recreations and intimacy with nature, to fill the lungs of tired workers from city factories and shops with pure and wholesome air, whenever they will or can afford to spend a day in shady groves, under spreading trees or on the jewelled meadows. They are havens of sweetness and rest for mothers and wives and sweethearts; above all, they are for the children, for the people, high and low, rich and poor, without distinction, with equal rights and privileges for every class. A city that does not acknowledge the necessity for public parks as a means for promoting the welfare and happiness of its people, and recognize the substantial advantages that follow the making of a city attractive and comfortable as a place of residence, is not progressing, but is already on the wane." Perhaps. "Many property owners are preparing to trim their shade trees, and the beautification of the city will be the result," says an optimistic paragrapher in the State Journal of Frankfort. Possibly, but not necessarily. When shade trees are trimmed the proverb that fools rush in where angels fear to tread is, too often, illustrated. Many owners of trees have not the slightest appreciation of the beauty of the structure, and proceed upon the theory that an elm or a maple will be all the better for the severe treatment under which the box hedge proppers. And many itinerant pruners work by the day and prove their value by the litter of lopped branches they bring to the ground under the tree. Sad havoc is worked when the combination of ignorant owner and vandal pruner exposes to saw and shears the growth of years and the dignity that belongs to all unmutilated trees. And the judicious often grieve without a hope of affecting the course of vandalism.—Louisville Courier-Journal. One Decade's Development. Eighty-five cities of more than 30,000 inhabitants have adopted the commission form of government, according to a recent census bulletin. The cities vary in population from Boise, Idaho, with 33,000, to Buffalo, with 465,000, and are scattered through 27 states. Nearly half the population in cities of 20,000 to 500,000, including 7,700,000 persons, lives under commission government. This represents the development in a little more than a decade. Finland Practically Independent. While under the suzerainty of the Russian empire, the grand duchy of Finland enjoys autonomy in many respects; in commerce and industry it may be said to maintain its own national life. The Finnish customs, currency and railroad systems are distinct. Finnish trade to and from Russia is listed as foreign trade by both countries. Optimistic Thought.

Opening last Wednesday morning, the Baptist Sunday school convention was favored with ideal June weather to its triumphant close, Saturday afternoon, June 17. It would be hard to say which of the several sessions of the convention was greatest. Each had a feautre of its own and all were high in interest. But the Thursday and Friday evening sessions brought out the greatest crowd. Many prominent ministers and laymen were well represented on the program of speakers, and the sermons, addresses and papers seemed to be inspirational and informational to the delegates.
