Opens $10,000 Anti-Lynch TWO THOUSAND ALREA WACO HORROR STIRS TO ACTION THE FIRST FIRE OF THE WORLD THE TREE Say, have you a furnished or unfurnished room for rent? Advertise it in The Sun and let it be bringing you in something. Fifty thousand copies of the story of "The Waco Horror" have just been distributed by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People through its official organ, the Crisis, and as a result a campaign for an anti-lynching fund of ten thousand dollars has been launched. Immediately upon hearing the details of this American atrocity, which for barbarity surpasses anything charged against the Germans in Belgium, Judge Moorfield Storey, National President of the American Bar Association, and formerly President of the American Bar Association, and Mr. Phillip G. Peabody, both of Boston, each offered to contribute $1,000 toward such a fund on condition that the remaining $8,000 be raised by August 1. The N. A. A. C. P. sent a special investigator from National headquarters at 70 Fifth avenue, New York, who commenced gathering evidence in Waco, Texas, where the buring occurred, within forty-eight hours after the lynching. Inasmuch as fifteen thousand people had sanctioned the affair by their presence and dozens of pictures were taken, there was no difficulty in ascertaining the names and addresses of the ring-leaders and the failure of both the judge and sheriff to make the slightest effort to protect their prisoner. The Association ending every effort to secure a distinction, Texas lawyer with courage enough, to bring the case against these murderers into court. Politics, the investigator found, was at the bottom of the affair, Sam Fleming, the sheriff, is up for re-election at the Democratic primary in July. His opponent, Buchanan, though il- literate, has "three dead niggers to his credit," and is therefore very popular. Unless he is to go back to selling buggies and cultivators for the hardware store, Sam needed a lyncing to increase his popularity. The murder of Mrs. Fryer on Monday, May 8, came just at the right time. Jesse Washington, a colored boy of seventeen, confessed to both murder and rape. His trial was set for Monday, May 15. The crowd began gathering from the surrounding country on Sunday. When court opened 1,500 crowded into the room, inside the rail, about the judge's desk and jury box; and 2,000 more waited in the court yard. The District judge of the Criminal Court, R. L Munroe, elbowed his way to his desk, and the boy was brought from his chambers where he had been secreted since the sheriff brought him from Dallas in the middle of the night. As the jurors were called, the crowd yelled, "We don't need any jury!" but the trial was allowed to be hurried through. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty of murder and assessed his punishment as death. The defendant had waived his legal rights and would have been hanged that same afternoon. There was a pause of a full minute. The court stenographer slipped out with his records. Sheriff Fleming sneaked out, too. Then a big fellow in the back of the courtroom yelled, "Get the nigger!" They took him before the court had pronounced judgment without the judge lifting a finger in protest. Down the back stairs they rushed him to the crowd waiting outside. They put the chain in his mouth so that he The Kansas City Sun wouldn't choke too soon, and when those lugging at it broke it, the driver of the Annheuser brewery truck, who led the rabble, wound it around his own wrist, rather than take chances that the boy should die too soon. Many had come a long way to attend this party and they didn't want it to end in a minute. Everybody was happy; they shouted and sang like a bunch of fans aat a ball game, according to a Waco paper. When the boy's clothes had been cut up and distributed as souvenirs there were not enough pieces to go around, so somebody cut off an ear for his keepsake. The Waco Times-Herald published the same afternoon said, "On the way to the scene of the burning people on every hand took a hand in showing their feelings in the matter by striking the negro with anything obtainable; some struck him with shovels, bricks, clubs, and others stabbed him and cut him until when he was strung up his body was a solid color of red, the blood of the many wounds inflicted covered him from head to foot." They took Washington to a tree on the City Hall lawn, just outside the window of His Honor, the Mayor, which he generously shared with Mr. Gildersleeve, the photographer to whom we are indebted for our cuts. A chain was thrown over the limb of this tree, and while the fire was being lit, this bloody thing was hoisted into the air, where everyone would have a full view. A manicurist who works for Goldstein and Mingle, whose windows look out on the square, told the investigator she saw them unsex the lad. As the chain tightened around his neck, this half-dead creature reached up convulsively to grab it, so they cut his fingers off. THE FIRST WORLD FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP The Waco Times-Herald makes no bones of it. "Fingers, ears, pieces of clothing, toes, and other parts of the negro's body were cut off by members of the mob that had crowded to the scene as if by magic when the word that the negro had been taken in charge by the mob was heralded over the city. As the smoke rose to the heavens, the mass of people, numbering in the neighborhood of 10,000, crowding the City Hall lawn and overflowing the square, hanging from the windows of buildings, viewing the scene from the tops of buildings and trees, set up a shout that was heard blocks away. Onlookers were hanging from the windows of the City Hall and every other building that commanded a sight of the burning, and as the negro's body commenced to burn, shouts of delight went up from the thousands of throats, and apparently everybody demonstrated in some way their satisfaction * * * *" The body of young Washington was burned to a crisp and was left for some time smouldering in the remains of the fire. "Women and children wh odesired to view the scene were allowed to do so, the crowds parting to let them look on," says the newspaper account. One father, when questioned about the propriety of holding his little son on his shoulder where he could get a good view, is reported as saying: "My son can't learn too young the proper way to treat a nigger." At twelve o'clock the crowd ad-journed for lunch, as usual; but by a quarter past one some of the boys were back to continue the fun. A cowboy who had ridden in off the range created a diversion by lassoing KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, JULY 8. 1916. Folgerius This will be the most gorgeous pageant ever staged in the West.

Mrs. Lucinda Day, one of the wealthiest and most prominent as well as best known members of the race in this city, died last Monday and was buried Thursday from the Second, Baptist Church of which she has been a member for more than 40 years. The sermon was preached by her pastor, Dr. S. W. Bacote, and the Eastern Star and H. of J. services were conducted by the orders to which she belonged. Brief addresses on the life of the deceased were delivered by Prof. Bowser and Grisham and Mr. Edw. Ross. The floral offerings were beautiful and the most numerous seen in recent years. Interment was in Elmwood cemetery. She leaves two daughters, one son and a host of friends to mourn her loss. The Sun extends its deepest sympathy.

When the head bounced off as he galloped through the "reservation," the ghetto where the Negroes and prostitutes are segregated, some little boys set it up on one of the doorsteps and extracted the loose teeth, which are reported to have brought as high as five dollars apiece from those who could afford such rare and permanent souvenirs.

It is a Christian city of 40,000 population, boasting thirty-nine white and twenty-four colored churches. Yet no responsible voice was raised in protest that bloody Monday, and only one has been since. Those who believe that a cry to Heaven should be raised against this and every lynching, by legal prosecution, by publicity, by co-operation with the best white element of the South, by political agitation, are urged to assist the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to raise this $10,000 anti-lynching fund before August 1. Contributions should be sent to Oswald Garrison Villard, Treasurer, at the national headquarters of the organization, 70 Fifth avenue, New York. ROY NASH, Secretary. EIGHTH PASSES THROUGH. The Eighth Illinois Infantry, Colored, with a full staff of Negro officers from the Colonel down, passed through Kansas City Sunday afternoon at 5:00 o'clock in three special trains, 1,600 strong, bound for the border. Quite a crowd of Colored people were disappointed in not seeing them as their trains were not brought into the Union Station, but were switched from the Wabash to the Santa Fe in the old Union Depot yards. Quite a few of the prominent men of the city met them, however, in the yards and at Argentine and cheered them on their way. The eight infantry is officered by: Colonel Franklin A. Dennison, Lieutenant-Colonel James H. H. Johnson, Majors R. R. Jackson, Charles L. Hunt and Otis B. Duncan. Staff Captains, W. T. Jefferson, W. S. Bradden; L. B. Anderson, Lieutenants S. McGowan, C.

NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE OF GREATER KANSAS CITY. THE LYNCHING RECORD FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1916. According to the record kept by the Division of Records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute, there have been, during the first six months of the year, 25 lynchings. This is 9 less than the number, 34, for the same period last year. Of those lynchings 23 were Negroes and 2 were Whites. In the first six months of 1915 there were 24 Negroes and 10 Whites lynched. Five, or one fifth of those put to death, were charged with rape. Other causes of lynchings were, slapping a ```markdown ``` boy, brushing against a girl on the street, insult, charged with attempting to assist son accused of murder to escape, robbing store, killing officers of the law, and murder. Eight or almost one third of the total lynchings occurred in the state of Georgia. MONROE N. WORK White or Bl SPECIAL SUMMER OFFERINGS! Paseo Y. M. C. Paseo Y. M. C. A. THE HOSPITAL Y. M. C.

LESSON FOR JULY 9 ‘THE THESSALONIAN CHRISTIANS. re aa ne a ence Also that are fallen asleep in Jesu will God bring with him. Thess, 414 RV. This epistle is probably one of tho earliest of Paul's letters (A. D. 60-632). Tt links itself closely with the seven- teenth chapter of the Book of Acta. Driven from Berea, Paul goes to Ath- ens and later to Corinth, while Tim- othy returns to Thessalonica and car- ries a report to Paul at Corinth, ‘Whereupon, perhaps within six months, Paul writes bis epistle, A study of the two letters addressed to this church teaches us how Paul ad- vised and instructed his Gentile con- verts. The first {sa particularly cheer ful, positive and helpful exhortation, 1. Thanksgiving and Testimony (1 1.90; 2:17-20), (1) Salutation (1:1) The phrase, “the church of the Thes- salonians which Is in God” is nowhere else used, Some think it to be unique because Pau! had so little to condemn or to criticize, The deity of Jesus Christ and that grace and peace pro ceed from God is clearly set forth. (2) Thanksgiving (vv. 2 and 2) (a) For works of faith; (b) for their “labor of love," and (c) their “pa- tience” (endurance). That these works were “in the sight of God" is evidence of their genuineness, and such spiritual fruitage awakened (2) Knowledge in Paul's mind (v. 4). ‘They were “elected” to salvation, holi- ness and likeness to Jesus (vv. 5-9; I Pet 1:2; Eph. 1:4, 5: Rom. 8:29). (4) Testimony (vv. 6-10). Paul could appeal to the known conduct of him- self and his triends to substantiate, to prove, the standing of those candi- dates for holiness who had been “elect- ed.” His words had not come to them tn mere exhortation and eloquence but “also in power,” which governed their conduct. ‘This was not to win ap- plause, but in his own case he labored for their sakes (v. 5) and in their case they had received the word “with Joy” in the midst of affliction to the ‘end that they became examples (pat- terns or types; literally, like the far echoing notes of a trumpet) (v. 7) to all that dwelt in the regions there- about. Their obedience, consistency and missionary spirit (vv. 8-10) sound- ed forth everywhere and all that needed to be done was to say, “Behold the church of Thessalonica!” (5) Paul's glory and jby (2:17-20). Paul sets forth his character as a Christian worker (2:16). (a) His physical doldness (vv. 1,2); (b) his faithful, tm: partial teaching (vv. 36), affectionate. ly kind (7.8), unselfish, working for his own support (v. 9), holy and con- sistent (13-16). No one "had anything on him,” and such a life dares to be hold, though it is not free from per- necution (v. 15). (6) Paul's desire (2:17-20). He here sets forth why this letter was written. Separated from them by persecution, he desires to return and supply the things they were yet lacking and to see face to face those whom he loved. Satan pro. vented (v. 18) doubtless using the bit- ter persecution stirred up against him. He had therefore sent Timothy from Berea to comfort them (3:15), who thad made such a good report (3:1-10) that it urged Paul to greater prayer (vy, 11418) on their behalf. 11, Ignorance Illumined (4:18-18) Paul rebukes certain sins (4:1-12), ex- horting them to godlinoss and to love one another. He then touches upon a doctrine which was one of his strongest reasons for writing to these ‘Thessalonians. The imminent return of Christ had been strongly empha. sized, but in the months of Paul's ab sence some of their number had died, dled without seeing Christ's promised glory. Would those who remained have any advantage over the dead saints when Christ should come? It fs to set their thinking aright that Pau writes. This he does by outlining the great and blessed hope of the churct fn its “rapture” at Christ's coming ‘This is more clearly set forth here than anywhere else In the New Testa ment. Those who mourned over de parted loved ones are not to “sorrow as those who had no hope.” Jesu the risen, everlasting Savior and king {s certainly coming again in his king dom of glory, “with a shout, with th voice of the archangel.” Thetr sor row {s not that of the world, for thos departed are but “sleeping” and wil come back with Jesus when he comes Together they who sleep and we wh are alive shall be caught up “to mee the Lord in the air,” all to dwell to gether forevermore with the Lord, 1 ‘one glorious company when his king dom is fully come and his will is com pletely done on earth as well as heaven. Their bodies, risen from th grave and reunited to their souls in : glorified condition, and we who re ‘main, the whole church or body o Christ caught up like Enoch of of (Hob, 11) of Elijab—a glorious hope ‘This is not alone Paul's word upo ‘this question, but this he says “by (o 4n) the Word of God” (v, 15).

In the public mind a coin more than 60 years old is hoary with age and so rare as to be almost priceless, but a silver dollar of 1795 ts actually worth no more than $2 to dealers, and then only if it {9 in an excellent state of preservation, for a great many of them were coined. A half dollar of 1803 is worth as much as 15 cents more than its face value, but collec tors and dealers find that there are so many of them in circulation that there is no profit in buying and selling How does a colored man handle his own people? To answer this question, #0 far as Captain Washington 1s con- cerned, is to say that here is a man who {s ready to explain to the boys why It 1s necessary for them to obey certain rules; here {s a friend and ad- viser, who, with all his kindness, can- not easily be hoodwinked; here {s an administrative officer who 1s willing to explain with calmness what Is what and is then prepared to insist that boys must do their part to maintain high standards. Captain Washington is, indeed, @ “big brother” to the 600 Negro and Indian boys who are being trained at Hampton for school teaching, farming, and mechanteal industries. He is friendly but emphatic in his adminis: tration of discipline. He is willing to put the facts squarely to boys and ex- pects them to do their best. Even when he has to send away an occa- sional boy, he gives the best kind of advice and has in this way started many boys on a higher path. Allen: Washington's career {s typical of thousands of Negroes, who, during 50 years of freedom, have emerged from a very simple life to take thelr places fn a complex civilization. As an officer of the Hampton school, Captain Washington has taken part in many educational and financial meet- Ings which have been held to create new interests in Negro education. He has traveled far and wide, speaking on behait of Hampton and the ideas of education for which Hampton stands. He knows the South and conditions which his people face. He was one of Doctor Washington's close friends and associates, He has taken an active part in the constructive work of sev: eral Negro organizations which aim to promote race relations. Captain Washington ts treasurer of the Negro Organization Society of Vir ginla, which is carrying to more than 300,000 Negroes the message of “bet: ter health, better schools, better farms and better homes,” and financial sec retary of the Hampton Institute Alum- nl association. He is also president of the Sumner Literary society, which is composed of colored men and wom- en who make a serious study of the best literature. Captain Washington has received tn struction from some of the best United States army officers who have been stationed at Fort Monroe, He {s a thorough drillmaster and tactician. He believes in his own race, as well as ||in white people.

It is worn like a fur scarf, brought around the throat, with ends crogsing at the back and brought to the front again. Here they are knotted or allowed to hang straight to the waistline. White buttons look well on all the colors shown in cotton corduroy, but there are white buttons, in several odd, unusual shapes, barred with narrow stripes in the same colors as are shown ‘in cotton fabrics. All the feminine world is running after stripes, and those who weave hats of straw have governed them- selves accordingly, Wide-brimmed sun hats and midsummer sailors are of- fered in stripes ranging from quiet blaek and white to the most vivid of orange, green, red and blue contrasts, For street and sports wear these hats ‘with woven-in stripes offer more in the way of distinction than fabric hats and as a rule they are more expen sive, Fashion makes much of the way In ——ee Wicsehasiehi tas dieatancs deans '| The duchess of Marlborough under- | stands the psychology of dress and || since the war has enshrouded England "| has always attired quietly.

The forty-seventh annual communication of the Grand Lodge is memorable for its distinguished visitors. There was M. W., John L. Thompson, Grand Master of Iowa Masons; M. W., E. J. Hawkins, Grand Master from Kansas, and W., Chester A. Franklin, C. C. F. C., from Colorado. Then, too, this was the year for the elevation of a new Grand Master, and these things added to the reputation of the St. Joseph brethren for genial hospitality brought out a large membership of the craft. Yes, and there was Brother Joe Brown, Grand Senior Warden from Iowa, as well as Brother Jose H. Sherwood, Past Grand Master from Minnesota. The Grand Lodge was opened a little too soon for the convenience of the committee on credentials and while waiting Brother A. R. Chinn announced that he had been a member of the body for thirty-six years and had not missed a meeting. Another brother took occasion to complain because no ritualism is ever exemplified at the annual meetings and Dr. Ricketts, Grand Lecturer, went further by declaring that the subordinate lodges also neglect the esoteric instruction JOE E. HERRIFORD. It was also discovered that all the Grand Lodge jewels had been misplaced and the Grand Secretary was instructed to procure some new ones. A little leisure is a good thing sometimes. It enables persons to look around with greater perspicacity and take note of details. It might be a good plan to make "the leisure hour" a feature of each annual communication. The committee finally reported and after a short time the annual address of the Grand Master washeard. It was fully up to the standard, although more brief than usual. The work of three years was summed up and gratitude was expressed for the support of the brethren in assisting in the same. Under Necrology the loss of Brother Sonny Vaughn, Brother Robert Fitzgerald and Brother Thomas A. Jordan was lamented. Each of these brethren had been an earnest worker for many years and was a distinguished figure in the work of the Grand Lodge. Brother Robert Fitzgerald was not a Past Master, but was superintendent of the Masonic Home at the time of his death and had rendered signal service in that capacity. Brother Thos. A. Jordan was a pillar of Masonic strength in the city of St. Louis and had been three times elected to grand office. The Grand Master also announced that subordinate lodges had been very active during the year in acquiring property and that the estimated value of the same now amounted to over three hundred thousand dollars. It is worthy of note that during many years there was present at each session of the Grand Lodge a subordinate member, Brother Tom Williams, father of Past Grand Master Chas. G. Williams, Uncle Tom, as he was and is affectionately called, always took a deep interest and sometimes a considerable part in the affairs of the Grand Lodge. He had attended so long and regularly that most of the brethren thought he was a regular member of the Grand Lodge and often it appeared that he too, thought so. He freely participated in the discussions and made himself heard upon questions of moment, all the while doing no harm, but really a great deal of good through his good common sense and his honest, homespun notions. Uncle Tom is one of our best examples of thrift and business success, being the owner of large farming interests. He is also one of the best examples of fair masonic zeal, having devoted many years to loyal service in the ranks without aspiring so much as to be master of a lodge. The hour finally arrived for the election of Grand Officers and Brother Nelson C. Crews, Deputy Grand Master, was the unanimous choice for Grand Master. During his three years as Deputy he had manifested rare talent as a presiding officer and this added to his other natural qualities made him fitted for the place far beyond the expectations of his most ardent friends. He took hold of affairs with such vigorous interest and devoted himself with such commendable assiduity to make his three years of service a revelation of power and capability. He at once set to work to finish up the work begun by his predecessor and to give stronger tone to the beneficiary departments of the order. He took a broad vision of all Masonic interests and it was not long before he had won the hearts and the confidence of the entire membership of the jurisdiction. KEYTESVILLE, MO Sunday was a great day in Zion and the pastor, Rev. W. H. Davis, delivered two soul-inspiring sermons in the afternoon.

Hughes and Fairbanks will sweep this country like a cyclone. And then there'll be no more "note writings." Now honestly what do you think of a long boasting government that can be bluffed by Mexico? Don't all speak at once. The contest for various county offices begins to wax warm and the Sun sincerely hopes the very best men will be nominated to the various offices. Remember we must win this year. Now a great agitation is being engendered to arouse sympathy for Sir Höger Casement, who was sentenced by Great Britain to be hanged as a traitor. But have you heard of any sentiment being aroused to punish those Texas murderers who lynched and burned the 17-year-old Negro boy who was afterward proved to be innocent? The repairs and improvements being made on their homes by the Colored citizens of this community is indeed gratifying and presages a magnificent showing on the part of our people when the various conventions meet here this summer. Catch the spirit. If you haven't the bgun to clean up and fix up, begin now, so that our guests on departing will say, Kansas City-Colored people are the most pro progressive in the country. Within the past week or ten days millions of dollars have been spent by the government in preparation for war with Mexico. Now it turns out that there will be no war, but it is just a possibility of the lives of a few more soldiers being snuffed out by Mexican bullets, or made captives and placed in some dark Mexican dungeon. And the Mexican's only punishment will be a sharp note from our school teacher president.

A Department of Music Devoted to the Theoretical Study of the Composition of Music and Other Musical Articles Edited Exclusively for the "Kansas City Sun" Readers by A. Jack Thomas, Bandmaster, U. S. A. Our own Henry T. Burleigh is doing more to preserve the national element in our Folr-Lore, than any composer, white or black, today. The prejudice is only too widely diffused, that an able or even a distinguished composer, must of necessity, and without further pains, be also an able teacher; while yet the indispensableness of further qualifications in a teacher is so easily seen that pedagogic science long since offered to explain, and experience has often proved (as in the case of Mozart and Beethoven) that artistic ability and the capacity to teach are not so often or so necessarily united that the one may be safely inferred from the greatness of the other. The teacher should, indeed, possess the cultivation, the spirit, and the soul of an artist—should be himself an artist—but, besides this, he should not be wanting in the full vocation, the dexterity, the experience and the capacity of the pedagogue. Seldom as this many-sided fitness is either found or attained, reflection will not fail to make us confess its necessity. My method of teaching, both in theory and practice, has been the first been directed in conformity with these views. Of pure verbal aquaint the scholar with the method of instruction and direct him or her to the point of artistic effort. From the first series of notes (the major diatonic scale), the instruction assumes its peculiar and permanent character. While the scholar who is familiar with the teacher perceives what to observe and what to miss in the form of the tune, the more able and diligent scholars—thus prepared among the less gifted—will almost of themselves grasp the next necessary, or next possible point, or understand it without difficulty from the course of articles. The scholar is thus kept from the beginning in artistic activity—in the atmosphere of his future life. The teacher also remains fresh and active, and has no longer cause, either in his or her work or meditations, to fear the old disheartening dissension between Art and Science. In conclusion of this rather long preface, with single scholars, or even with two or more, who sit at the teacher's side and watch the movements of his pen, or who often unexpectedly take the pen into their own hands—to whom the teacher must give advice or instruct them how to proceed with a work already begun; how to explain, to improve, or to avoid such and such a dubious point—for all these purposes this system of instruction has proved most agreeable and fertile of results. The more the scholar can anticipate the teacher the sooner he is able of himself to discover an explanation or an expedient to accelerate his work and progress—the more successful, in my opinion, is the teacher's work. The mistakes of the scholar, especially in the greater tasks of the fugue and the sonata forms, provided they have but one tenable position, may be taken up and corrected at leisure, thus enabling him at once to perceive the discrepancy of his error with some part of his work. In artistic science, where individuality and its subjective sensation and volition give the last decision in the moment of artistic creation, I do not hold it advisable that the scholar should wholly avoid errors. He should be thoroughly tried and tested and have opportunity to conquer himself by his own might. A vanquished error is a progress; an error merely suppressed threatens a return. Next week I will take up the "Tone and Note" system. A. JACK THOMAS, Bandmaster 10th U. S. Cavalry, June 12, 1916. MOBERLY, MO. Bv Mrs. W. H.

Five years had passed since Millie Rogers had left her father's home to ‘go on the stage, and during those five years her father had tried in vain to shut the girl out of his heart. Never during that ttme had her name passed his lips. His Puritan training had evoked in Millie only stubbornness, Even when she was just big enough to tod- dle across the floor she had seemed made for light and laughter. Her wayety had shocked the old man; he could not understand how he could have given life to a child Ike that, ‘The austerity of his religion hung gloomily about him. It hung gloomily about his wife, too. Samantha Rogers had accommo: datod herself to his life, but she had secretly yearned’ for the old days o! harmless jollity before her marriage. ‘The soberness of the new lite had weighed her down, Then Milite was horn. Insensibly mother and daughter drew together. it Jim Rogers was aware that he was being shut out from the lives of his womanfolk, he said nothing, bul went his way, growing sourer an¢ grimmer as the years went by. As she grew older ho ceased to scold his daughter: he accepted her as a mis fortune, and it was not untit she an nounced her intention of going on the Stage that his repressed anger blaze« out. “It you sell yourself to the devi you're no longer any child ot mine!’ | a | p i! | | o..

If you Jeave my house you never come back.” For once the spirit of the woman who had once been so gay flared up. “Pll go," she cried, But half an hour Jater she went to her husband, “I'll stay, for your sake, Jim,” she said. TAs the yours passed the house grey gloomier. Millie had been the only child, and both had looked forward te the day when a grandchild would come to brighten it. Now that hope wa A Om toreie Five years after Millie had left the house Jim Rogers went to the metro polls for the frst time since bls mat riage, on a matter of business con nected with the sale of some prop erty belonging to a Mr. Anderson, 1 neighbor. He took his wife with him “How'd you like to see New York Samantha?” he asked awkwardly "Might cheer you up, sort of.” She went with him, and the journe was an astonishing one. Both wer Jost in the great city; they wanderer tip and dows the strests looking abot them in amazement. Then Jim's eye darkened. Samantha saw what ha upset him. Upon a billboard in fron of a vaudeville house was the ar nouncement of “Madame Chantella’ Farewell Appearance.” She was to give her last perform ance at the house that night befor retiring. And the picture was so lik that of Millie that—that it might b ‘Millie herself.

Jim Rogers had yieldea to what he considered sin for the first time in his Ufe, None but he knew the longing in his soul for his lost daughter. He sat, staring eagerly at the jugglers. This wasn't so bad, This wasa't sin, Ha! What would come next? Next was a comedian with a red nose, who was taunted and teased by a Indy with an abbreviated skirt. At the sight of her Jim Rogers’ anger rose. This was sin! This was a spec- tacle for folks’ eyes. His wife, too, bridied with indignation. But when she saw the look on her husband's face she forgot her own feelings. Jim Rogers was rising from his seat. He meant to denounce this performance, to call upon the people to arise and... “Sit down! Sit down!” they bawled at him, Ho collapsed with @ helpless sort ot feeling, and then, while his mind was still in uncertainty, Madame Chantella came on the stage, beautifully gowned, holding a sheet of music fm her hand. Ji. Rogers gasped. It was Millie! Then she began to sing. It was “The Folks at Home.” As the song proceeded Jim felt bis throat con: stricted, and suddenly a tear splashed ‘down on his wrist, It was his Mille and if this was sin, well, what was the When she retired, amid a thunder ot appiause, Jim rose unsteadily and made his way out.

Jim Rogers stood still like a mat ina dream, but his wife cried out an in a moment the two women wer locked in each other's arms, Ther Millte tlung herself around her father's neck, “Father!” she eried, “It’s all ove now, isn’t it—this misunderstanding?

That is, if he buys a new shirt he tags it with his initials, numbering {t at the bottom of the pile. And no matter how much he likes it, he does not wear {t until it comes out at the top of the pile. He went into wordy detail about the economy of his system—and he added that he arranged his socks in the same manner, I told him that he would meet the woman of his dreams some fine day, ‘and that she would knock the spots ‘out of his system.

If no other incident could be elted to banish the adjective “unspeakable” in connection with the Turk, the following related by an American who served in a Turkish hospital would suffice: “A young Australian of twenty, with a nasty shrapnel wound in the thigh, chanced to be the only Britisher plnced in a Turkish hospital at Beylerbey, on the Asiatic shore of the Bosporus.

Outlining the purposes of the experiment, an officer of the league says: i “We believe that to abolish ebild labor we must do constructive work, It has been found by actual practice that where children have taken up gardening they can earn more in a summer in that work than they can during an entire year in a factory. The garden products of the children are used first for the family and the sur- plus {s then marketed. “When the parents find that the children ¢an make more money in ‘this way they will be willing to allow them to remain longer In school to ‘prepare them for better positions. Tn the meantime the children have been building character as well as building themselves up physically. ‘Taking the children from the factories will lessen the aumber of the unemployed. ‘There are now 1,500,000 children tn the fac- tories and there are 1,000,000 unem- ‘ployed.

Hints for Beauty Seekers To remove perspiration odor, fre quently bathe, using a lotion made of one dram alum and one pint water, or one pint of water and two heaping tea- spoonfuls bicarbonate of soda.

Every woman desires to have a nice head of hair. How to preserve it, if you have it, and how to secure it If you haven't it, is a vexing problem to many, but the only way to solve it Is to go to the root of the mutter, This root is good health, says a writer In Farm and Home, which means proper food, exercise, sanitation, ventilation and an optimistic mind which refuses to worry, Do all in your power to secure these essentials to good health, and the battle is more than half won. If the teeth and mouth are always kept clean, there would be fewer com- plaints about decayed teeth and tooth ache. Clean the mouth after each meal, rinsing with water to which has been added a little alum, salt or bicar- donate of soda, tincture of myrrh, or Usterine, peroxide of hydrogen—any- thing that Is cleansing or antiseptic. Use the toothbrush up and down, across on the inside as well as the outside of teeth.

What do you think of this bunch?” And he tossed the letters over the table to Jennings, who read them thoughtfully, “Sad, very sad,” said Jennings, “tc think that our promising young max should be a faker.” “Yes, Mr. Hughes will have to be canned,” said the editor. “I'd stand for it in some people, but not in a young man we've taken up and tried to help.

It's first class, but it’s going back now.” ‘The same evening, as Miss Margery Gibson was seated in the parlor, after having dismissed her father and mother to the dining room, young Mr Hughes called upon her with a deject ed mien and a large, flat paper pack ‘age, with a number of stamps on it under his arm, “It's come back, Margery,” he said flinging it down on the table. “Our future is blasted.” Margery leaped for the package “Not your second story, Oliver?” she cried. “Not ‘It's Blood That Tells'?" “Yes, here it is,” sald Oliver. “And here's Mr. Alvis’ letter.” “He wouldn't take ‘It's Biood That ‘Tells?’ cried Margery In consterna tion. “Why, that was a splendid story Oliver!
