Kansas City Sun

Welcome Honored Ladies and Sir Knights of the Eastern Star VOLUME VIII. NUMBER 46. Say, have you a furnished or unfurnished room for rent? Advertise it in the Sun and let it be bringing you in something. The first year of service by Grand Master Nelson C. Crews is worthy of being called a milestone in the history of the Grand Lodge of Missouri. In the first place he set a new pace of progressiveness and constructiveness that all but reversed the hitherto adopted policy of the venerable organization. Masonry has always been criticised for its disposition toward narrowness as regards the wider interests of mankind and its disposition to be sought out instead of seeking out mediums for its professed usefulness. In other words, it has ever been regarded in the light of a close corporation which, while lavish with the benefits accruing to its own membership, was cold and formal with all other individuals. Nelson C. Crews had through his long training as well as through his natural disposition acquired such broad sympathies and unrestricted interests not only toward his own race but toward mankind generally that it was utterly impossible that he should be held in such really narrow bounds as those prescribed by any fraternity. Then, too, he was a man of deepest emotions, easily moved through the sentiments of patriotism, individual [Image of a man in a suit and bow tie]. JOE E. HERRIFORD. love, racial sympathy and, most of all, religious veneration. This disposition manifested itself strongly in all his utterances and actions and was the motive in all his conclusions. In the character of some men this disposition is plainly an acquired asset to be used as a sort of convenience and is easily discovered by the unimpassioned observer. But in Grand Master Crews it was real and sincere, being as natural as his very life, and on that account always the most potent factor in his very great usefulness. He was never a four-flusher. Touch him and you at once found him awake and at a position which he was capable of defending even to his last breath. So, it was evident from the very start that Masonry was about to take upon itself an enlivened activity in the affairs of Missouri Negroes and that some very tangible results might be looked for. The forty-eighth annual meeting was held in the little city of Moberly during three days beginning August 12, 1914. At the opening session it was noted that Brothers A. R. Chinn, Reuben Barber, George W. Dupee and Taylor Noland were present and that neither of these had been absent from a meeting during thirty-seven years. Each of these had made his own imprint of usefulness upon the history of Masonry, and the brethren joined in many felicitations upon this annivary of their reassembling. It was suggested that Brother Chinn should write a history of the Grand Lodge and this he tacitly agreed to do. He is well fitted for such an important task on account of his intimate acquaintance with the men and measures which have constituted our animals during nearly half a century. The first annual address of the Grand Master had been prepared with great painstaking, as was evidenced by its high literary accuracy and rhetorical precision. A high standard of excellence in this respect had been set by his predecessors, and the Grand Master doubtless felt that in this particular respect, at least, an emergency confronted him well worthy of his keenest skill. To say that he met the high requirement is but mildly complimenting the lengthy and attractive paper which he read to the attentive brethren. Grand Lodge matters and fraternal interests had their due assignment in consideration but a most notable feature of the address was the broadening vision of general race weal and the wider outlook for craftship among the Masons themselves. It is a well recognized tenet of Masonry and one which is sometimes carried to an extent little short of humorous that its secrets shall be zealously guarded from women. So when it was announced at this session that the Grand Royal Matron of the Order Eastern Star was within the anteroom and craved admittance to the sanctum sanctorium there was some perturbation in the hearts of those who had guarded the rites against innovations during these many years. The designs upon the t. b. were carefully put away, the work was hurried The Kansas City Sun ly closed and the w. t. carefully concealed ere the distinguished visitor, Mrs. Victoria Clay-Haley, was escorted into the room to receive an honor never before bestowed upon one of her sex by the Grand Lodge of Missouri. Mrs. Haley being a woman of unusual culture and dramatic ability soon had the brethren applauding and cheering her well rounded expressions of good will toward Masonry. Her brilliant petition for continued support and sympathy from the Masons toward the sisters of the adoptive rites not, only met with most hearty response but she might have had anything else that she chose to ask for at the time, so charming was her personality and so effective were her manners. Then Brother W. Clarence Hueston, a brilliant young master from Kansas City who was in attendance upon the body for the first time, was brought forward by the Grand Master to make a formal response to the honored visitor. After this she was excused. Regular breathing and regular work were resumed. At this session the regulations of the proposed burial department were gone over for a second time, according to law, and were ordered to be put into force at once. The Grand Master appointed Brothers Joe E. Herrlford, M. O. Ricketts and Wm. H. Dawley, jr., a committee to revise the Hand-Book containing most of the formalities used in the lodges and gave to these three members sixty days in which to complete their labors. Few changes were made in the official roster. BBrother William Green of Plattsburg, long a favorite among the members on account of his sterling qualities and genial manners, was elected junior grand warden and Brother P. L. Pratt, distinguished for his Masonic scholarship, was made grand lecturer. COMPOSITOR WANTED Steady employment and good wages to right man. No boozer or shirker need apply. FRANKLIN the Printer 1308 East 18th WESTERN STATES BAPTIST CONVENTION. The Western States Baptist Convention is holding a very interesting and largely attended session in Pleasant Green Baptist church, Rev. Geo. Mc Neal, D. D., pastor, Kansas City, Kas Rev. J. L. Griffith of Des Moines, Ia., is president, and many interesting sermons and papers are being given. Prominent Baptist ministers from all parts of Missouri and the West are in attendance, as well as many ladies of the various church auxiliaries. A complete account will be given in our next issue. Kansas City, Mo.—With the securing of the big Convention Hall and Auditorium the citizens of this city passed their first mile stone in preparing for the visitors of the Great National Baptist Convention that is to be held here September 6-12, inclusive. This feat was accomplished by the committee of three, consisting of Drs. Hurst, Williams and Beckham, who are representing the general committee in charge of the entertainment of the entire delegation. Simultaneous to the securing of this Convention Hall, news came from Vicksburg, Miss., that the executive committee of the Congress in session there had chosen its delegates for the coming big gathering. A program covering six days of constructive work has been made, which is argued there as guaranteeing an unusually interesting session. The Committee on Homes has been at work for some time making assignments. The citizens of the city, regardless of denominations, have joined hands to help Kansas City entertain her guest, the first week in September. The Baptist Ministers' Alliance took action some time ago, whereby the securing of the big city Convention Hall and other places were heartily endorsed. It is safely estimated by President Jones of the National Baptist Convention that over five thousand Baptists will invade Kansas City during the week of the Convention. BUSINESS LEAGUE CARNIVAL AT LINCOLN ELECTRIC PARK The crowds have been turning out nicely and everybody seems to be having a grand time. Saturday and Sunday nights will be the most interesting nights of the carnival. Ten cages of wild animals have been secured and will be on exhibition. Sunday night at 10 o'clock the great Negro Animal Trainer will fight a ferocious lion in his cage. We are expecting at least 5,000 people at the park Sunday evening when the big baloon goes up. The League will hold their regular meeting next Thursday evening at the Paseo Y. M. C. A. All members and prospectives who want their names to appear in the final directory and souvenir program must pay their dues not later than July 5th, as we are about ready to go to press. If you haven't received your booster badge, get one at the park from any of our solicitors. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE, of Greater Kansas City. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, JULY 15. 1916.

The Sun put forth its best endeavor to secure the reappointment of this deserving young woman and knows the board of education will have no occasion to regret its gracious action. Especial credit is due Mr. Nugent, one of the new members of the board, for his active interest in this matter, and he demonstrates at the very beginning in the positive and earnest manner, with which he takes hold of the affairs of the school district that he is to become a most valuable member of this most distinguished of all boards in Kansas City.

Berryman and daughters, Misses Eleanor and Lydia, are sending two days at Excelsior Springs, Mo. MRS. IDA M. BECKS, the brilliant lecturer and publicist, who is doing splendid work to make the coming session of the National Business League a record breaker. U. B. F. RECEPTION The U. B. F. & S. M. T. gave two receptions to Grand Master J. H. Williams and Grand Princess M. Etta Bolden during the week. The first was given at Lyric Hall, where Dr. G. W. Brown was master of ceremonies. An excellent program was rendered and excellent addresses were made by both the Grand Master and Grand Princess. The second was given on Tuesday night at U. B. F. Hall, Fourteenth and Michigan, but for some unexplained reason neither the Grand Master nor Grand Princess was present, although the hall was crowded to its capacity, the reception being under the auspices of twenty of the largest temples and four of the oldest lodges in the city. Miss Magnolia Lewis was mistress of ceremonies at this reception and a delightful program was rendered in honor of all the Grand Officers who live in the city. There was also present the Grand Princess of Kansas, Mrs. Sarah Parks, and National Grand Officer Mrs. Lillian Lewis of Denver. A delightful banquet was served and a number of excellent addresses delivered, although the absence of the Grand Master and Grand Princess was felt very keenly. Louisville, Ky., July 10—Thomas B. Bromwell, political writer for The Cincinnati Enquirer, has the following article in his paper, date of July 9, in reference to the political situation in Kentucky and Phil H. Brown, editor of the Hopkinsville Saturday News and delegates from the State at Large to the recent Republican National Convention: "Speaking of the Hert-McCulloch row, the Christian County Republican committee poured oil upon the troubled waters when it endorsed Phil H. Brown's action in voting against Colonel John W. McCulloch, or rather in voting for Colonel A. T. Hert, at Chicago. The friends of McCulloch throughout the state hold to the opinion that the Owensboro man's re-election in Kentucky was regular; that it should have been ratified at Chicago, and that it would have been ratified had Ludlow Petty, M. L. Heavrin and Phil Brown, the latter the only Negro on the delegation, remained loyal to their Kentucky vote and pledge. Therefore the resolution adopted last Saturday at Hopkinsville, the negro delegate's home, is offensive to a large number of Republicans, but no more so than the scathingly sarcastic articles penned by Brown and published in his weekly paper against Chairman Ed T. Franks. Brown stated as the first of a dozen reasons for voting for Colonel Hert "he has been my personal friend for 20 years." Whereupon a friend-of the Republican National Committee-man offered as a suggestion that he "muzzle Brown for the welfare of the Republican party," but another, reading the twelfth reason, ventured that the Louisville man might not be able to do that. The twelfth reason reads: "Although I am a Negro, I cannot and will not wear anybody's ring in my nose; and if this be treason make the most of it." If Hughes wins the Republicans in Kentucky will have to reckon largely with Brown, since by reason of the recognition accorded Colonel Hert, who has been made a member of the subcommittee of the National Committee to direct the campaign, the Negro may be said to be only one removed from the top." Brown cast the deciding vote which elected Colonel A. T. Hert, a Louisville capitalist, making him National Committeeman from Kentucky. LINCOLN, NEB. By W. W. Mosely Mr. W. N.

Royal Grand Patron,'who labored assiduously to make the coming session of the Grand Chapter a glittering success. The coming of the United Grand Chapter of the Eastern Star in its 26th annual session next week will bring together in Kansas City unquestionably the most distinguished and brilliant body of Negro women in Missouri. Its membership embraces the leading figures in the social and fraternal life of the state and on its roster are the names of the most distinguished Negroes of every walk of life that the grand old commonwealth has produced. The Silver Jubilee session held last year in St. Louis was one of the grandest affairs ever witnessed in fraternal circles and the degree work given by the teams from St. Joseph, Kansas City and St. Louis was worth going miles to see and hear, but they boast that th exemplification of the work this year will be far superior to what it was last year. The local committee has spared no pains to make this session a grand success. The various sessions will be held in the gymnasium of the Paseo Y. M. C. A., beginning next Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. Nelson C. Crews, Grand Master of Masons, has been invited to deliver the welcome address. Miss Mary F. Woods will deliver the address of welcome on behalf of the localchapters, and Mrs. Anna J. Carter for the Heroines of Jericho. Response HON. GEO.

SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright by Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR JULY 16 PAUL AT ATHENS LESSON TEXT—Acts 17:16-34. GOLDEN TEXT—In him we live, and move and have our being—Acts 17:28. Athens! What a name to conjure with. Athens has always epitomized the acme of intellectualism, culture, art, and esthetic accomplishment. Driven from Berea and alone, Paul fled to the coast and taking ship crossed over to the Thessalonian peninsula. Entering the city—he beholds its statuary, meets its philosophers and views its moral degradation and its myriad manifestations of heathenism. Outwardly cultured, molding the thought of the world, yet it passed from its pinnacle of power because it knew not God. Paul saw the pantheism of the cultured Stoics and the Epicureans, who because of their distant and but little concerned gods, enjoyed the pleasure of wealth and ease. I. Paul Brought to Trial (vv. 16-21). Such sights stirred the spirit of Paul. The marvel is how indifferent we may become in the presence of the great spiritual poverty of our time. His spirit stirred within him, when he saw the city crowded with idols. As Paul followed his custom and began his preaching in the synagogue he also took advantage of the opportunity to do open-air work in the market place. Here a small group and there another. This he did daily until the teachers (v. 18) began to take knowledge of his presence in their city. Some in contempt called him a "babler," while others concluded that he represented some new religion, though he set before them the same message of salvation in Jesus Christ which had caused such remarkable results elsewhere. That they might hear him more fully and without the interruption of the mart of trade, Paul is taken to the neopagus, or Mars Hill, where from time immemorial the greatest criminals had been sentenced and the most solemn questions of religion settled. 11. The Unknown Maked Known (vv 22-29). Such idle speculation (v. 21) was of no value to the Athentians. This Paul knew, yet he began his address, in a most conciliatory manner (v. 22 R. V.). He would win their favorable attention before he called them to repentance. Keenly observant, Paul had seen among the many inscriptions one "to the unknown God," and this one whom in ignorance they worshiped, he would set forth. Many today are in blindness, seeking to know God when he has already been made manifest (to be seen). (John 1:18; John 5:20; John 14:9; II Cor. 4:6). It is man's own fault if he does not know God (Rom. 1:20-22, 28; II Cor. 4:4), and no knowledge is more important (John 17:3). Paul's opening words in verse 24 were but to seize a well-known object of their street decoration and discussions and with it to lead on to the great truth he yearned to have them comprehend. This caught the philosophers as well as the idle curious. God is not a philosophic conception of the mind. He cannot be confined to temples made with hands nor does he need the services of our hands, seeing he created all things and given to all things life. Paul's next way was that "He hath made of one every nation of men." As yet how little men really believe that truth—the economic and social differences of this land. Negro segregation and Asiatic exclusion are but illustrations of our separation from the teaching of the brotherhood of man. But this brotherhood is not alone for altruistic service but "that they should seek God." This was his great and glorious purpose in creating the nations of the earth, in setting the seasons in motion, in minister to their needs, and in appointing the bounds of their habitations; you how far man has departed from that ideal (Rom. 1:28). It is of the highest importance that men should seek God and he is not difficult to find for those who seek him (Jer. 29:13). The souls of men are not satisfied without him. Witness the mad rush after pleasure and the restless desire to possess the things of time and sense and which perish with the using. Paul displays his university training by quoting and approving the Greek poet Aratus (v. 28). However, while all men are the offspring of (created by) God, yet they are not all truly his children (John 8:44, 47; I John 3:10; Math. 13:38; Gal. 4:4-6; Heb. 12:8; Eph. 2:3). Only such are children as have received Jesus Christ (John 1:12 R. V.). All those who are led by his Spirit are the "sons of God" (Roria 8:14; Gal. 2:26 R. V.). III. What the Athenians Lacked (vv. 30-34). Thus far Paul's auditors must have followed him keenly, and it was the goal toward which he had been driving so relentlessly. Such sublime conceptions, keen logic and quotations from their writers won their attention. He then delivered a keen thrust at this, the "psychological moment," by calling upon them to "repent." The Athenians lacked a realizing sense of the personality of God—that man could have personal and intimate relations with God or that a man could or had risen from the dead. "All men everywhere" are called to repentance and the time is "now." The reason for this call is because "the hath appointed a day in which he will judge the inhabited earth." The assurance that he will so judge men of their sins by the man whom he has elected is in that "He hath raised him from the dead" (v. 31). Any candid seeker after truth who will examine the evidence will be convinced of the truth that Jesus o' Nazareth, crucified upon a Roman cross, rose from the dead. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS "There are those who would cite the lazy, shiftless and indolent as typical of the Negro race, but if the same yardstick were applied other branches of the human family might have reason to complain bitterly," wrote a prominent Negro educator recently. "Experience has shown that when given the opportunity for gainful employment under just and fair conditions, the Negro not only proves in every way his value as a workman, often most skilled, but, above all, there is cultivated in his mind and heart that now too rare feeling of deep interest and loyalty to his employer. When the southern Negro works for a corporation, he calls it 'my company', and never has a bomb been found in his hand nor has he been branded as an anarchist. Under fair treatment his loyalty becomes deep and unchanging, and the sower of the seeds of discord finds little response to his beguiling or impassioned stories of greener fields to be had for the asking or taking. "A few years ago in his summer home in the East there passed away an eminent captain of industry who had spent forty years in the South building up a great commercial organization and community. Of master mind, yet with heart of a child, he had met and conquered many problems, all the while dealing with employees, both white and colored, so justly as to win their unfailing loyalty and even love. "When the news of his death was flashed back to that southern community deep sorrow prevailed, but it remained for one old colored man, who had grown gray in the service of that organization, to take a part of his savings, board a train, and make the thousand-mile journey to be present when his friend was returned to earth. As the cortege was preparing to move this old Negro mounted the funeral car, completed the journey, and remained with the family to the end to drop a last tear. This is but typical of the response of the southern Negro to the 'helping hand.' "In advance of the Negro's industrial progress has gone very naturally his moral and educational development, and the engerness with which many are seizing every advantage offered by their institutions plainly foreshadows a still more wonderful development in all those attributes which go to make up citizens of whom we will have no reason to feel ashamed. "In the light of these conditions is there not good reason, then, to consider this southern Negro as one of the South's greatest industrial assets and does it not behoove southern industry to deal with him so fairly, so honestly, so uprightly as to maintain unimpaired that loyalty and strong feeling of common interest found in the heart of this plain, straightforward workingman?" While the present army law is by far the best congress ever gave the country in time of peace, it has glaring defects, one of which is found in the fact no provision was made for increasing the number of colored regiments in either the regular or militia forces. There is not a single rational excuse for the omission. There are a score of excellent reasons why such a provision should have been added. Southern statesmen, so-called, in congress, shook their heads and said The communication of Charles N. Swift in the Times has attracted my attention, and just a word, if I may, to indorse his every word concerning the admission of a colored regiment into the New York National Guard. After their record in the Civil war, especially with 99,337 colored soldiers therein, why can there be any doubt about them? As an officer of both white and colored regiments, wounded twice in different engagements in the last mentioned service, and having had some part in the organization of the Corps d'Afrique in Louisiana under General Banks in 1864, I have wondered why there were none in the state service. The Eighty-first U. S. C. T. in Louisiana, commanded by Col Charles B. Gaskill, now of Niagara Falls, challenged any regiment, white or black, in the Gulf department to make as good a showing in regimental or company drill, but none accepted the challenge of the Eighty-first—George B. Loud, in a communication to the New York Times. A girl likes to be squeezed in a crowd from force of habit. Cotton is becoming so scarce in Europe that cellulose from wood fiber is being used as a substitute in surgical dressings. The world's highest powered motorship has been built in Italy for the Brazilian navy, its oil motors developing 6,400 horse power. It is said that in the far North of the Russian empire there is a race of people who do not know that there is a war. At that they have nothing on some of our American congressmen. In this country a few experimenters have been successful in training their canaries to carry simple tunes, and in some instances even to articulate one or more intelligible words. Shortly after the battle of Manila bay a Philadelphia woman succeeded in making her canary say "Dewey! Dewey! Dewey!" so unmistakably that everybody marveled at it. The admiral himself was much impressed and wrote her a letter expressing his appreciation of the compliment thus it would not do—the Southern people would not stand for an increase of "Nigger" soldiers, and there were enough of the old style of congressmen from the North—the "doughface" species—to prevent the addition of a clause to the bill for a considerable number of colored regiments and batteries. It was a mistake which the next congress should rectify without delay. Colored volunteers in the Civil war were exceptionally brave soldiers. They were often severely tested. The South began to recruit for colored regiments in 1865, and General Lee declared that one of the Confederacy's most serious mistakes was made by not enlisting negroes for their army early in the war. Several regiments of colored men were on duty in the Confederate army the last few months of the war. For nearly fifty years there have been four colored regiments in the United States army—two of cavalry, the Ninth and Tenth, and two of infantry, the Twenty-fourth and the Twenty-fifth. No troops in the army were in more battles, or acquitted themselves more creditably in the Spanish-American and Philippine wars than the four colored regiments. The colored man likes the service. He takes pride in it. He quickly conforms to the rules and regulations. He is as neat in person, uniform, equipment, as the white man. He almost never deserts. There often is much difficulty in keeping white regiments recruited up to the proper number. There never is a lack of recruits for the colored commands. There are no more obedient or better disciplined soldiers. White officers of the South like to be assigned to the colored regiments. They and their soldiers understand each other perfectly and get along harmoniously. There should be ten regiments of colored men in the regular army instead of four, and many regiments of them in the militia instead of the three or four.—Chicago Herald. Dr. Eben S.

NEWS and GOSSIP of WASHINGTON Tom Grant Is Deluged by Offers of Old Rags WASHINGTON.—Secretary Tom Grant of the Washington chamber of commerce is being swamped with letters from people in all sections of the United States who have rags to sell. Each mail brings letters from farmers' wives, letters from farmers' boys and girls, and letters from the farmers themselves, stating that they have a fine collection of rags which they are eager to dispose of. One woman in southwestern Missouri, who evidently thought Secretary Grant was personally collecting rags suggested that he call with a wagon, since she had a supply which had been accumulating in her attic for the last 30 years. "No living man can tote a wagon." Another woman, who lives, in great demand, and wants to know if to buy a new outfit for myself and the she requests Secretary Grant to advise may put the children to bed and have to It all came about through a bull department of commerce advising house their rags, as the shortage in raw material valuable.

The work is in charge It all came about through a bulletin issued several weeks ago by the department of commerce advising housewives throughout the country to save their rags, as the shortage in raw material for paper manufacture made them valuable. The bulletin, which was circulated broadcast throughout the country, advised those having rags to sell to apply to their local chamber of commerce for information regarding disposal. The bulletin bore a Washington date line, and, judging from the number of letters Secretary Grant has received, people in the rural districts think there is only one chamber of commerce in the United States, and that that one is located in the capital. Uncle Sam Finding Jobs for Unemployed Girls THE department of labor has organized a women's and girls' division of the new federal employment bureau with a view of finding employment for girls not younger than 16 years of age. The work is in charge of Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett of Alexandria, Va., president of the Florence Crittenton mission and former president of the Nation Council of Women. With her is associated Mrs. Grace Porter Hopkins of Washington, long recognized as one of the leading women in the nation in problems relating to the employment of women. The department proposes to establish an interchange of information between the states and labor zones and offices of the United States employ- ment service. Also, it provides for the co-operation of the Federation of Women's clubs, this being the first organization of women which has received federal recognition. Mrs. Frederick H.

She has tabulated records regarding 110,000 girls who have "gone wrong," with a general view to family ties and trends. She has concluded from a careful study of all facts relating to these many cases that back of the abrupt act of breaking free from home ties, from the moral sense of responsibility and from old and respected associations, lies an economic condition, particularly in the cases of untrained girls. It is to correct this evil that the department of labor has organized the new bureau. Two years ago Mrs. Barrett went to Europe and there studied the immigrant problem in the homes of the girls who come to America. This served to strengthen her belief that if the government would take care of immigrant girls and keep them from the hands of employment agencies and the influence of designing men it would go far toward solving one of the most serious employment problems with which American women must deal. Members of Marine Band Wail Over Lost Revenue MEMBERS of the Marine band, the nation's crack musical organization, are up in arms over the provisions of the new army reorganization law which cuts them off entirely from outside employment and compels them to rely wholly upon government pay. Several members of the band have expressed their intention of leaving the organization since their outside pay is cut off. Thus far there have been no desertions, but marine corps officers believe that some musicians whose services have been most in demand will leave the band.

The result of this new law, which is now in effect, is to keep members of the band from giving music lessons, from appearing in private concerts, or as soloists at receptions or other social affairs. It also prevents the band from holding its annual concert tour, which has been a national musical event for years. The law does not prevent the appearance of the band at White House receptions or park concerts, as orders for appearance at such events are given as a part of their duties. In the recent preparedness parade it was necessary to obtain a special order from the secretary of the navy for participation of the band. Bill Gordon Is Not So Ferocious as He Looks THE most roerocious looking member of congress is Mr. Bill Gordon of Cleveland. He has the burly build of one of the larger sizes of prizefighter, and a voice like four or five big, boisterous lions all going at once. When Gordon is engaged in debate on the floor of the engaged in debate on the floor of the house, he gestures always with his fist, never with his open hand, and visitors in the gallery are frequently appalled at the number of members who have the temerity to sit close to him. Yet with all his terrifying manner, Gordon is in reality as gentle as an ordinary Maltese kitten. One can walk right up to him and stroke him with impunity. He is one of the most conservative members of the house committee on military affairs, opposed to too elaborate a preparedness program heart and does not grow alarmed over.

One day Gordon and a member from South Carolina exchanged comments on one another in the course of a debate. Gordon spoke to him quite unkindly. "Step outside and tell me that," suggested the South Carolina man. Members are always asking one another to step outside, but nothing ever comes of it. "Do you think that I'm going outside," inquired Gordon, brusquely, "just because I'm asked to by a crazy yap from South Carolina?" And he proceeded calmly with his speech, without further interruption. TAMING MINK IS LARGE UNDERTAKING The United States department of domesticated the mink.

JIM SMITH are al (Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman.) "But, Mabel, I don't know the young lady." "But I know her. She is one of my dearest school friends. She and her sister are stopping with some relatives over the week end. It is all arranged. You are to call for her tomorrow evening. Her sister, I believe, is provided with an escort." "And I am to take this Miss Lora Vane to the lawn party up at Graysville?" "Yes, Rupert." "And then drive her here, where her sister will come also?" "That is the program." "Very well; I will do it to oblige you, sis." Mercy Grey smiled to herself. She was not a matchmaker, but she would not be averse to welcome her college chum as a sister-in-law. As to her brother, he was not altogether en rapport with the situation. The Greys were plain people, and thrifty. He had not gone much into society and, from what Mercy had told him, he fancied that this Miss Lora Vane was a gay butterfly of fashion, who rather looked down on the simple, inexperienced son of a farmer. "I say," hailed the brother-in-law of Rupert as he came into the farmyard, "going to shine this evening, I hear, I don't envy you." "How is that?" Rupert challenged his good-natured relative. The latter pointed to old Fleecy, the family horse. Fleecy was white as the driven snow, a great, strong, intelligent animal, something of a puller and decidedly a goer. He was the main stay of the family for buggy service. "I suppose you know that this Miss Vane is a red-headed girl?" observed the tormenting brother-in-law, always up to mischief. "No? Well, she is—fiery brick red. With a white horse! Say, she won't relish it, believe me See the point" Rupert looked dismayed as his relative strode off, laughing hilariously He saw the point, indeed! The red A man in a suit and hat stands in front of a large wooden tank, talking to another man in a suit and hat. The man in the suit and hat is facing the tank, while the man in the suit and hat is facing the man in the suit and hat. The background features a tree and a house. "Is What That Mischief-Maker Says True?" headed-girl-white-horse fetich was a standing joke in the vicinity. "Is what that mischief-maker says true?" propounded Jacob, the farm utility man of the Greys for a quarter of a century—odd, erratic and a prime friend of Rupert. "Is what true?" queried Rupert, vaguely stirred up at the latest discovery of the individualism of Miss Vane. "About a red-headed girl!" If it is, don't you fret about it. I'll fix it for you. I'll save you from being—being—oh, yes, embarrassed, that's the word. "What do you mean?" demanded Rupert, but the old man drifted away chuckling and waving his hand reassuringly, and replying in a confident tone: "I'll have it ready at eight. I'll fix everything for you." Rupert did not pay much attention to old Jacob, who was always saying and doing strange things. He resolved to go through the ordeal. It was too late to borrow another horse, too expensive to hire one at the livery. Besides, in the dusk and in the later dark who would notice the color of Miss Vane's hair? Still, Rupert was sensitive, and it Miss Vane was the same, she might feel annoyed at the close conjunction of a white horse. Old Jacob was at the hitching block when Rupert left the house to start on his experience of the night. Rupert gave a great stare, a start, a gasp. "Where's Fleecy?" he asked sharply. "Why this is Fleecy, of course," responded old Jacob readily. "Stained, dyed; wouldn't know him, eh? Anything to oblige you, and fix things right, and no harm done." "But—" began the astounded Rupert. "You see, the folks were dyeing some old brown bollons. There was a tubful of the stuff left over. Thinks I, will it do the work? It did. Went on slick as grease. It may not last or wear, but for one evening I defy anyone, but to see a speck of white, or any stranger to guess that the horse has been hocused, hey?" Rupert did not know whether he had better laugh or storm. He looked over Fleecy critically. Yes, in the gathering dusk, the old animal would pass muster. No one would particularly notice Fleecy. He would be only a few moments in front of the house where he was to call for Miss Vane. Dusk would favor the situation. By the time they reached Grey-ville it would be dark, and he could tether the horse in an obscure spot. So Miss Vane's sensibilities would be spared. Rupert had never seen Miss Lora Vane before. As he saw her for the first time an hour later, he wished he could keep her in view for the rest of his life. She was—ravishing. And her hair—a golden glory! Red? He would bodily assault his brother-in-law if he ever made the insinuation again! If it shaded on the tabooed derided hue, it was in a magnificent way that made Rupert wish every girl in the world was singularly glorified. Everything went charmingly. There was a gaunt, lantern-lit party on the lawn, dancing, refreshments and everybody happy. As Rupert helped Miss Vane into the buggy, he felt that he had passed the most enjoyable evening of his life. Lora was brimming over with joyousness, she liked her escort and she felt that this was true and was radiantly content. Her sister was to be driven after them by her escort to the Grey home. Rupert started down the hill road first. The sky had become obscured and it began to rain. Rupert got out the rain robe and tucked in his pretty companion securely. There was a drenching shower. It beat down for a full half hour. Then the moon came out and then—He noticed Miss Vane staring askance at old Fleecy. He glared himself. Fleecy was once more in propria persona. The rain had washed off the thin coating of dye. Old Fleecy had turned white in a single hour! Rupert was on nettles. He met the questioning, half quizzical eyes of his fair companion once. He believed she saw through the entire gauzy tissue of mask and circumstance. He was about to stammer out a lame expression when there was a weird scream. It came from the shut-in cut they had just traversed. "My sister!" cried Lora sharply. "Oh, listen!" A runaway!" There was no doubt of it from the sounds. Rupert halted Fleecy and bent his ear intently. He could trace the sharp ringing hoofs of a horse, the jar and jangle of a swaying vehicle. The cries of distress and terror came nearer and nearer. "Miss Vane," he spoke hurriedly, "please alight. If a runaway horse gets out of the cut on the open here, he is liable to go over the side of the gully to sure destruction." He knew just what to do. He calculated how far he could depend on Fleecy—wise, intelligent old farm veteran. Quickly turning about he drove back into the cut, blocked the road and old Fleecy braced for the crash. It came, but the sturdy shield never wavered. Lora's sister clinging to her seat, the runaway was checked. Her escort had been thrown from the vehicle, but came running up unhurt. As they reached the Grey home later Lora went up to old Fleecy. She guessed all, even the thoughtful over-sensitiveness of Rupert. She put her arms around the neck of the hero horse. "You brave creature!" she said. "You saved my sister's life, you and your master here." Her long hair showed like burnished gold in the moonlight. Rupert felt that it would be rapture to kiss that in turn. Within a week he had the right to do so. First American Newspaper The first newspaper published in the Northwestern territory was the Sentinel, published at Cincinnati, November 9, 1783. A local historian says: "A wheelbarrow would have moved all the types, cases and stands which the pioneer establishment contained." The paper had its home in a little garret on Front street, near the river. Several years ago the Historical society at Cincinnati paid $148 at an auction sale for a copy of it. The first newspaper published in Indiana territory was the Western Sun at Vineennes, the first issue appearing on the Fourth of July, 1804. In 1807 the Sun printed a bound volume of the "Laws of Indiana Territory," the paper on which the book was printed being brought by pack horse from Georgetown, Ky. In 1524 the postmaster general reported that there were 598 newspapers published in the United States and of these Ohio had 48 and Indiana 12. Habit of Being Happy. Keeping oneself reasonably happy is a duty that ought not to be shirked. Science is telling us these days that to get out of the habit of enjoyment is to get depressed in vitality and vigor, to weaken in efficiency, and grow old before one's time. There is nothing like laughter—not empty-headed laughter, but the intelligent, wholesome, kindly-hearted kind—to keep people young and fresh and fit for business and the obligation of living. Of course, this is a prescription not easy to live up to always, but there is no reasonable excuse for not trying to do it. Sometimes it is just about as easy to be happy as to be miserable if one makes up his mind to it, and there is no doubt at all as to which pays the best—Onward. A. Foot From 12. For half an hour a Portland teacher patiently instructed her class in the art of telling the time from a clock. "Now," she said at last, as she pointed to the big clock on the wall, "you may be the first to tell me the time, Mary Brown." Full of importance, Mary turned and studied the dial. Then she faced her teacher again, her eyes shining with triumph. "Please, miss," she said, "it's just one inch past 11!"

Rather a remarkable statement for a college president to make concerning a college student, yet hardly more remarkable than the institution which the student is attending—Blackburn college at Carlinville, Ill. Blackburn, as a matter of fact, occupies a position unique among institutions of learning in this country. No other college, perhaps, is conducted along exactly the same lines. Its aim is to train young men to be not only scientific, but practical farmers, inculcating in them at the same time a love of the soil, and to make of girls and young women practical housewives, who will be able to cook and sew, and to take care of a home. Also, and this is where the unique feature comes in, it is conducted upon a plan of self-help, whereby young men and women of the most limited means are afforded an opportunity to avail themselves of a standard college education. The plan has been tried only a year, but during this period it has proved so successful, literally knocking the high cost of living all to pieces, that the great problem next fall will be what to do with the students. The charges for the year at Blackburn have been placed at $100, and three hours' work per day at some sort of manual labor. This pays for a furnished room with steam heat and electric light, board and tuition. The first thing one is likely to say on hearing this is, "It's too cheap; it can't be done." That was exactly what the college trustees said when, after calling Dr. William M. Hudson to the presidency, they listened to his revolutionary scheme for rejuvenating Blackburn. But Doctor Hudson had some convincing figures out of his past experience. He was optimistic and persistent. So finally the trustees agreed they well as well try it for a year. "It may blow up," they said, "but better than than rotting down. At any rate, an explosion will attract more attention." It was nearing the noon hour when I reached the little group of college buildings nesting in a grove of fine old elm and oak trees on the outskirts of Carlinville, and the president suggested that we would better go down and see the girls getting dinner. Here was something new. In the present age, when the average college girl spends a goodly portion of her time in social amenities and athletics, the idea of students preparing their own meals was decidedly novel. Yet there they were, a dozen of them, in school dresses covered with long white aprons, busily engaged in preparing a menu which had been written on a blackboard in the kitchen—a kitchen, by the way, as immaculate as the most exacting housewife could desire. This combination of earning and learning is one of the unique features of Doctor Hudson's plan. The young women get the theory of domestic science in the classroom and then put it into practice in the kitchen. They do all the cooking, with the exception of a certain amount of help from some of the young men students. That they also do it scientifically and well was attested by the meal that followed a little later. This meal consisted of cream of tomato soup, roast beef, baked potatoes, creamed celery, bread and butter, tapioca and cake, and there was an abundance of each. I made bold to ask if dinners like that were served every day. "Certainly," replied Doctor Hudson. "It's not a visitor's menu by any means. We didn't know you were coming, and if we had we would have gone along just the same."

We didn't know you were coming, and if we had we would have gone along just the same." "And the cost?" I inquired. For answer Doctor Hudson beckoned to Miss Sparks, the capable head of the domestic science department, who not only teaches the subject, but plans the various meals and figures down the cost to a quarter of a cent, not even omitting such small things as the flour in the gravy and the salt in the potatoes, and repeated my query.

The bacteriologists have got together and discovered that soda is a deadly menace as it is drunk. They make it clear that every time a sundae gourmand dips a spoon into his favorite waistline explorer he is on the well known brink of the eternal and has one spoon in the grave, in a manner of speaking.

Breakfasts and suppers usually cost less than the dinners, the average for the three meals per day being 21 cents. Having no help to pay or to feed, important items in figuring up the cost of serving food in most colleges, has played an important part in this economical showing. The self-help plan not only cuts down expenses, but gives the young women such a practical course in domestic science—part of the laboratory work is to prepare each week four new dishes in sufficient quantities to feed all the people in the dining hall—that they will be benefited by it all their lives. They not only study domestic science, but do all of the work in their own rooms, the laundry work, etc., and at the end of four years they will come out able, and, it is expected willing, to do anything and solve any problem that is likely to confront a woman in the home. The president led the way to a window from which was visible a fine rolling stretch of farmland, part of which was ready for the planner. This is the college farm, consisting of 80 acres. Next fall the students will be fed from the product of that farm. Some of it, of course, will be fed to the cows, but they will produce milk for the college commons; some of it will be fed to the pigs, but they will be growing into meat all the time; and some of it will go directly to the kitchen. In this way the young men supplement the work of the young women. They produce what is cooked, and are learning to be practical as well as theoretical farmers. All of the farm buildings are put up by the students under the direction of the farm superintendent. They recently completed a poultry nouse which is a model of its kind. A huge barn and silo are soon to be started. As Doctor Hudson remarked, those boys are likely to be much better farmers than their fathers. Another unique feature at Blackburn is that the students know as little of the cost of high living as they do of the high cost of living. The college puts a ban on smoking, drinking, and the other evils commonly found in the youth world. A boy must keep himself clean, if he belongs to the Blackburn college community. Two particularly interesting students are foreigners, a bright-eyed little Jap and a curly-haired Persian. The Japanese student came to America to get an education, believing that all one needs to do is just to come here and after that everything is free. But he was disappointed in his dreams. He had planned to spend three years here and then go home to found a little school on the fundamental principles of Christianity. A friend in Japan had said that he would furnish the money as soon as the young man finished his education. So he tried a large state university. They were very sorry, but they had so many American boys, and then he knew nothing about our language or customs. They didn't see how they could do anything for him. Then he went to a large endowed university, and the story was the same. Finally he heard of Blackburn and went there. The president asked him what he could do, and he said he believed he could cook. So he was put in the kitchen and he works there three hours a day, assisting the young women. The other boy came all the way from Persa, with the same exalted notion of opportunity in America. He had received a little training in a hospital, but he wanted to be a real doctor and go home to his people as a medical missionary. He spent 14 months looking for a college that he could afford. A Persian doctor in Chicago directed him to Blackburn and he went right along and has made a fine record. He is the head of the sweep-tag force. The students at Blackburn all work—three hours a day. All pay the same and work the same. It is a communism. They don't pay so much per hour as most colleges do, but each stu- women the other colleges have passed by, the great class of young people who are willing enough to work and hungry enough for an education to do almost anything to get it, if they only knew how to set about it. It is not our purpose to help any student who ought to help himself, but simply to provide the means whereby he may secure an education when otherwise it would be impossible. "We are especially interested in the young women. It's a stiff proposition for a young man to go away from home to get his living and his education at the same time, but it's almost impossible for his sister. That is why we are providing for the girls, too." While the fixed charge at Blackburn is $100, that, of course, does not provide for everything. It costs the college a hundred more for each student, even after buildings have been provided. This is made up out of the endowment and the help that is received from time to time from generous friends of the cause. Britain's royal house will be at a loss for royal families to marry into when this war is concluded.

They believe, at Blackburn, that after young men and young women have spent four years working for the college, they will be better fitted for citizenship than if they had spent those years working for themselves. "There is a lot more to our plan," said Doctor Hudson, "than just helping young people to get through college who would not otherwise get there on account of the expense, but they are all side issues. That is our main object.

Home Town Helps THROWING TRASH IN STREET Nuisance Complained Of in Washington Prevails in Many Other of the Country's Cities. When the wind blows with force it emphasizes the carelessness of the people who disregard the injunction against throwing trash in the streets, says the Washington Star. At nearly every corner in the downtown section the wind forms eddies in which are gathered the bits of paper that have been carelessly tossed aside and allowed to drift. These papers represent an ignoring of a police regulation which prohibits the throwing of refuse in the streets. As an inducement to full observance of this requirement receptacles are stationed at convenient places in which trash of this kind can be placed. It only requires a little care on the part of all to keep the streets clean. Every bit of litter drifting about the streets on a windy day or lying in the gutters waiting for the street cleaners' brooms and shovels represents slovenly conduct on the part of Washingtonians. A very few people of this thoughtless habit can give the whole city an aspect of neglect and lack of care. The most perfect system of street cleaning cannot cope with this tendency and keep the city looking neat so long as trash is discarded against the regulation and without the use of the receptacles. Prosecutions should not be necessary to put a stop to this bad habit, but apparently they are needed to remind the people that the rule against throwing litter into the streets is in force and should be observed. PLANNING FOR SMALL TOWNS By No Means Should Only the Large Cities Be Laid Out With Scientific Care. Another bothersome misconception is that city planning relates only to the larger communities already great and populous and prosperous, and is not needed, or at least is not available, by the smaller places. It seems to be the unconscious conclusion that it is best to first make all the mistakes of civic ignorance and community thoughtlessness, and to yield as fully as possible to the greed of special privilege, in the thought that when the town becomes really great, it can afford to plan for convenience, practicability and progress. The good people who take this view remind me of an acquaintance who considered the services of an architect superfluous for a certain building he was having erected. The carpenter had handled many buildings—was he not good enough to see that this simple structure was properly put up? So the work proceeded, the carpenter accepting and using the floor plans of his customer without question, and it was not until the building was under roof that the lack of provision for any stairway to the second floor appeared. Of course, the final cost of the revised house considerably exceeded what it would have been had the architect done his work and the carpenter his. I know many towns that pretty nearly lack a stairway, and for just about the same reason.—American Civic Association. City Managing as a Profession. City Managing as a Profession. Illinois has at least two "city managers" of the new type, and it is no violent presumption that she is interested in the progress of the city manager plan of administration. With what amazement one read, some years back, the items from Germany telling us of the Teutonic way of electing mayors—of advertising for them all over the empire and giving a trained man the position regardless of residence, politics or what not! Now the ideas seem far less startling. We are not as yet thinking of advertising for our mayors, but in conjunction with the commission form of government or modification of that form we are slowly developing the science of city managing and the profession of the city manager. A City Managers' association came into existence a few weeks ago. The latest report showed about nineteen cities and villages under the city manager plan, and several communities are about to submit the same plan to a referendum. The University of Wisconsin has established a course for would-be city managers, and it seems a very liberal and practical one.—Chicago Tribune. Restricting Home Streets. Home streets should be sacred to homes and they should be protected from the invasion of all kinds of business. The home is the climax of urban activity, and it should never be sacrificed to commerce or industry of any character. A city wounds itself when it harms a home. And so there should be regulations and ordinances to protect the homes against business. Business can take care of itself; the home can't. A happy home, the most useful and honorable thing in a community, loses its high character if a shop of some kind is stuck up alongside of it. Yes, it is necessary for a man to make a living, but it is not right to make other people unhappy in doing it. We simply suggest that there is ample room here for a salutary regulation. Ohio State Journal. Garden Hint. Plant a row of carrots along that ngly wall, and their pretty fernlike tops will completely hide its ugliness. In front of the carrots plant your flower seeds, such as pinks, phlox, poppies, petunias, etc. The carrot tops will make a beautiful, feathery background for your flowers. In the autumn the carrots may be utilized in soup, pie, pickles, conserve, croquettes, jam, etc. Indeed, the homey carrot may be made to "blossom like the rose." (Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman.) Stop! Look! Listen! The words glared down into the consciousness of Hector Drew with a vividness that sent a thrill through every fiber of his frame. He saw the warning sign amid a vortex of dust, hissing steam and the grind and roar of giant wheels. Then he was sensible of having grazed death by a narrow margin. Someone was pulling at his sleeve—the same one who had grasped his arm and drawn him back just in the nick of time. "Stop! Look! Listen!" he murmured mechanically in a dazed, lost way. Then his eyes fell upon the hand trembling on his sleeve. His eyes followed its outlines to the wrist, along the arm to the face of the person who had saved his life. This was what he saw—a nut-brown face, but exquisitely molded, eyes with a trace of the shock of terror, but infinitely kindly and sensible. All these belonged to a girl of about twenty. She was plainly dressed, but neat and clean. By her side were two immense baskets, empty. She had dropped them to seize this abstracted, heedless mortal, immersed in thought, his mind a thousand miles away from the remotest suspicion of peril at a moment when it hovered so dangerously near to him. "You didn't seem to notice that the train was coming, sir," said the girl, now that the excitement was past becoming shy and confused. "You A man and a woman are standing outside a house, talking to each other. The man is wearing a suit and a hat, while the woman is wearing a dress and a hat. They are holding a basket of bread in their hands. "How Delightful!" Enthused Drew. couldn't have heard the whistle, nor have seen the sign. You must have been thinking, sir." "Yes, it is a bad habit of mine," confessed the young professor. Then he seized both of the brown hands. He pressed them fervently. "You—you have done me a great service," he went on and fluttered, for never before had he been so close to a member of the opposite sex. "My dear young lady, I—I declare, I thank you!" And then, thrilled at a magic contact enforcing a new and happy sensi- tation and overcome, too, at his unwanted timidity, he blushed like an awkward schoolboy. He was just that in his innocence and inexperience. A bookworm, within the week he had started in as a tutor at the academy back in the town, on trial. A great thinker, he had struck his pupils as dull, when he was only abstracted. His mind his palace was. He picked up the baskets from the ground. "I was bound for a walk, anywhere," he said, "so I may go your way, if you will allow me," and then in his odd manner he drifted off into all kinds of generalities as they walked along—commenting on the herbs they passed, the crops, the latest sun-force theory, and the girl listened, pleased and interested, for she recognized the starling intellectual worth of this old head on young shoulders. "I thank you very much," she said, as they reached a farm surrounding an old, but well-patched-up cottage, nestling among all kinds of flowering vines. A radiant garden encircled it. Then behind was a full ten acres, planted in exquisite order with sweet peas and carnations. "Why, you've got a regular paradise here! spoke the professor in profound admiration and surprise. "Yes," nodded his bright little companion smilingly. "You see, father died, mother is an invalid, there are Where Stamina Wins. Where Stamina Wins. In some parts of Borneo it is customary, when a dispute arises concerning the ownership of a cow, for example, for both the contestants to take their positions, in the presence of the witnesses and a throng of spectators, in a pool of water about four feet deep, each praying that the birds and animals and the water may bear him witness. Two sets of cross-sticks are then driven into the mud at the bottom of the pool. At a given signal each disputant puts his head under the cross-stick, and keeps it in the water as long as he can, a friend holding his legs to pull him out at the first signs of falting. The man who can keep his head under water the longer time is declared to be the rightful owner of the property in dispute. Lost His Money. "Do you suppose this melancholy individual is a defended candidate?" "His plight is worse than that." "Indeed?" "Yes. He consulted the candidates in placing his bets, instead of the sovereign voters." four little ones, but they can help when they are well and every morning I carry the flowers to the trolley express and ship them in to a city florist." "How delightful!" enthused Drew, and the whiff of perfume and the inspiration of brilliant colors cleared the cobwebs of ponderous science from his brain magically. "You see, you mustn't come any nearer the house," advised Myra Little. "That sign—the red one near the door." "Why, yes," said Drew, scanning a piece of flaming red cardboard—"mrs. asles, isn't it?" "Four cases," replied Myra. "The children have come down with it one after the other for a week. It has been bad for our little flower business, for I have to pay a man to come after the cut flowers and take them to the station. Then I go after the baskets." "Measles, eh?" repeated Drew in his vague ruminative way. "How fortunate." Myra stared at him in wonder. "I mean for myself," Drew hastened to explain. "As a general student I have become quite a physician. I shall be glad to go in and look over the little ones. I may be able to suggest or prescribe in a way that will alleviate their discomfort. You know doctors are practically immune," he laughed, and heedless of the faint protests of his companion, he entered the house with her. The little ones regarded him with awe and their mother with gratitude, as Drew looked them over and advised some sensible and efficacious home treatment. He lingered for an hour. The presence of the sweet-faced girl, the break in the solitary monotony of his life charmed him. "I say, it won't do!" challenged a decided voice, as he came into the outer air again to confront the local health officer. "I'm afraid it's a quarantine, professor," added the man. "You see, it wouldn't do for you to carry back germs among all those young students. You'll have to isolate your self." There was no gainsaying the edict of the officer. Drew looked more quizical than dismayed. Then he saw the logic of the argument. "We would try to make you comfortable here," spoke Myra, and an arrangement was consummated. The professor was to become a boarder in the infected house for the critical ten-day period. It was a glorious experience, a wonderful variation. He needed it and he improved and enjoyed it. All day long he helped Myra among the flower beds. When one day he received a letter from the college folk announcing tha. they had decided to do without a new tutor, he simply shrugged his shoulders. "I declare," he observed to Mrs. Little, "I could spend my life among the flowers! If you had a little more ground and owned the place there would be more than a living in the work. This is life. I've missed it delving into old dusty tomes. I have some money put by. Suppose I invest it here and—why not go into partnership with you good people?" Myra took all this for a passing fancy, but she found herself mistaken. They had become famous friends, he, the courteous, warm-hearted scholar; she, the ceaseless, intrepid little worker. One day the professor returned from town, an unusual animation apparent in his face and manner. "I've bought the place," he announced. "And I've been thinking." he added, walking along with Myra. "You .remember that sign at the railroad crossing where you saved and changed my life? 'Stop!'" and Myra halted obediently. He drew from his pocket a shining circlet. "Look!!" he supplemented, and Myra did so, and fluttered strangely. — "'Listen!' I love you. Will you take the ring and become my partner for life? I love you." "And I love you, too," sweetly and simply spoke Myra, placing both hands confidingly within his own. Applied Logic. One of the clerks at the Washington weather bureau recently took unto himself a wife and it has been his endeavor to interest her in his work at the office.

Billingsgate. Billingsgate is noted for more than its picturesque language, for it is the world's greatest middleman's fish market. London devours over one and a half million pounds of fish every day in normal times—a quarter of a million tons a year that means. Eleven railroads bring about 550 tons a day and the remainder comes by water. Before being offered for sale, the fish at Billingsgate are inspected by a commission of the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers, which holds letters patent granted it by King Edward I at the beginning of the thirteenth century. The ancient society represents, through the North Sea Protective association, more than 50 of the leading fishing companies of the United Kingdom.

WRITING of some of the curious customs and festivals of Switzerland, in the Detroit Free Press, Marie Widmer says: "The origin of the Chalanda Marz, in the Upper Engadine, which is meant to be a welcome greeting to the approach of spring, dates back to those early days when this part of the Grisons was under Roman influence. On the first of March the youngsters rise with the sun and ere long the bigger boys begin to march through the village, swinging heavy cowbells with all their might. This is the signal for their younger playmates to make themselves ready, and immediately after breakfast all the boys assemble in the village square. Each of them carries a bell on his neck and presently they begin their merry march from house to house. The tallest boy marches in front as the leader; he represents the Swiss cowkeeper and in this capacity he warbles many a melodious yodel song into the cool morning-air. His costume consists of black breeches, white stockings, old-fashioned shoes and a formidable-looking cap, not to forget the scrupulously clean milking pail which he carries proudly on his broad shoulder. His companions, all carrying weapons, follow in a long row, their joyous songs forming a harmonious accompaniment to the tikking of the numerous bells. Another tall boy marches at the end of the procession. He, in the role of herdsman, carries a long stick in his hand and an old, big hat on his head. He pretends to be anxiously looking around for the cows intruded to his care. Wherever this joyous crowd of boys knocks at a door, it is bound to receive a hearty welcome. Sausages, pies, cakes, apples, nuts and other dainties coveted by the average country lad are liberally presented to them and a one or two-frank piece is often slipped into the hands of these juvenile merrymakers. After they have thus "visited" every resident of their commune, the boys ask the girls to join them, and somewhere in the house of some good-natured folk who delight in listening to the outburst of youthful happiness, the banquet takes place. Burning of the Boogg at Zurich Toward the end of April the passing of winter and the arrival of spring is celebrated at Zurich with a very pretty festival known as the Sechselenuten—six o'clock ringing feast—as the actual ceremony takes place at the striking of 6 p. m., when the belts ring for the working day to close, which during the winter only finishes at 7 p. m. A huge figure, known as the Boogg made of wood and covered with white cotton wool, represents winter. In due consideration of its fate to be fulfilled in the evening, it is stuffed with crackers and gunpowder. In the morning a procession of more than 1,000 schoolchildren, many of whom are dressed in the picturesque Swiss national garb, escorts the triumphal float bearing the Goddess of Spring with her attendant maldens. Behind follows the Boogg, surrounded by dancing and jeering clowns. The procession winds its way along the river Limmat to the head of the placid lake, where Boogg is left behind on the spacious square, to be raised on poles, in order that a The Real Treasure Poor, indeed, is he who has no friends. Love is an exclusive sentiment and sometimes an exciting one. It is through our friends that much of our happiness comes. A true friend is to be appreciated and treasured. Friendship's bond is one not to be lightly broken. To have friends, we must be friends. The real friend does not easily take offense. Openness brings friends closer together in thought and feeling. There must be confidence and it must never be betrayed. "To suspect a friend is worse than to be deceived by him," said La Rochefoucauld. If, when offence is given, one does not give way to impatience, but gives ample opportunity for explanation or excuse, it will often be found that there was no real grievance. Have forgiveness ready in the heart—a complete forgiveness which puts anger so far away that it is soon forgotten. No human being is perfect and forgiveness ennobles the character. If you have one true friend, be grateful and kind and hold him to you with hoops of steel. Cultivate friendships by being kind, helpful and bonfire may be built around him. The morning festivities close with a juvenile bail in the Tonhalle. In the afternoon the various guilds, all attired in wonderful ancient costumes, have their parade. These guilds, which in former centuries used to play such an important role, are no longer the strict unions of the same class of artisans—those unions died out in 1758. The members of the guilds of today may in reality belong to a quite different profession, but they may have chosen to select the symbol of the trade once practiced by their forefathers. Several of these guilds still meet in their respective guildhouse, others have their reunions in various inns or hotels, but all are anxious to participate in a dignified manner in the afternoon Sechseleauten parade. The first stroke of six is the signal for Boogg's execution. He is set on fire and while he is expiating his wrongdoings other bonfires flare up on the surrounding mountain heights and fireworks are sent off from the numerous boats now gayly circling around on the lovely lake. Winter has passed and the arrival of spring is celebrated far into the stillness of the night. In the mountain regions the start of the cattle to the summer pastures, the so-called Alpaufzug, has been making a particular feature of this day which means so much to the herdsmen and their families and on which occasion the cattle even seem to realize the important change which is about to gladden their lives. The king of the Alpine procession, a handsome, powerful bull, marches in front. He is decorated with beautiful garlands of flowers and with the airs of a monarch he carries the one-legged milking stool, which is also wreathed with spring blossoms. In a long row the cows now follow their leader, all well kept and scruppily clean and every one embellished with flowers and a merry tinkling cowbell. At their sides walk their keepers in Sunday attire, now and then fondly eying their bovine proteges. Following the procession of cattle comes a parade of carriages and vehicles of varied description, containing the womanfolk and children of the herdsmen, also articles of furniture and drying utensils piled high. This is the departure for the Alps, a most characteristic and picturesque sight in the mountain regions. Ancient Ways of Wooing. Ancient Ways of Wooing. A very antiquated custom of nocturnal wooing, which is, however, gradually dying out, is the Kiltgang. In many districts of the canton of Berne the younger set of the male inhabitants forms a kind of vigilance committee to prevent the well-to-do girls from being carried off by outsiders. The lovers in the village who are of this set are permitted to pay their visits and climb to the windows of the fair ones undisturbed, while strenuous opposition is given to strangers who venture to intrude. Closely connected with the Kiltgang is the so-called Malenstecken of the canton of Lucerne. A lover, anxious to please his dearest, plants in front of her window a small pine tree, gayly adorned with ribbons. This is supposed to be the expression of utmost devotion and generally finds its reward it a generous entertainment at the hands of both the parents and the girl considerate. And remember: "Friendship is a plant that must frequently be watered."-Milwaukee Journal. An agricultural society of Florence, Italy, carried out a thorough investigation of the alleged injury of fruit by bees, and has completely exonerated the latter. Bees are unable to perforate the skin of fruit, and it is only incidentally that they suck the juices of fruits injured by other natural causes. The damage sometimes attributed to these insects is due to poultry, wild "birds, wind and hail, and even more frequently to hornets, wasps, vine moths and other insects. Instead of being harmful to orchards and vineyards, bees perform the useful service of affecting the cross-pollination of flowers and hence the setting of fruit, as well as the desiccation of damaged fruits (especially grapes by sucking the juice and pulp and thus preventing fermentation and rot extending to sound individuals. The orchards and vineyards frequented by bees give the most constant crops—Scientific American. IN DAINTY DESIGNS ALL SUMMER FROCKS GIVEN A DRESSY APPEARANCE. Appropriate and Elaborate Trimming Marks the Apparel of the Season—Clever Touches in Evidence on All Garments. Even the simplest summer frocks are dressy this year, due to the fact that a great deal of trimming is featured on the skirts, and also to the variety in sleeves, collars and vests, as well as sashes. Ribbon sashes predominate, but many dalty little cotton net dresses have sashes of self-material edged with tiny ruffles. Where a net and organdle fabric combination is worked out the sash may be of organdle with ruffles of net. Elbow sleeves are popular, and they may be finished with flaring single, double or triple frills. Many clever little vest, fichu or surplice fastenings are shown. Evening frocks combining such sheer materials as crepe de chine and taffeta. 1124 Frock of White and Checked Marqui-sette. net and silk chiffon and charmeuse, point d'esprit and plain net or silk are shown. Dresses of this type are excellent summer selections, as they are suitable for lawn parties, dinner and other evening occasions, and they need not be expensive if care is taken in the selection and blending of fabrics. The frock here illustrated is an exceptionally smart model for development of any number of the summer fabrics that are fashionable. As originally designed, white cotton marquise, combined with green and white plaid marquisette, is employed. The bottom of the skirt is finished with two tucks, applied mainly for the purpose of giving a little stiffening or body to the skirt, which is entirely unlined. The tucks are, however, decorative as well. The three blas pieces of plaid voile, stitched only at the upper edge so as to give a flounce effect, are each six inches wide when finished. A lining of thin net is required for the bodice, which is draped in surplice style, and fastened, as is the skirt, the gown being a one-piece affair, at the left side. The skirt of this frock is four yards wide. Five yards of white volle, 36 inches wide, and three yards of plaid volle are required for the gown. The sash is of black velvet ribbon two inches wide. As will be noted, the upper section of the sleeve is cut bell shape, but the extra flare is confined in a pipe organ fold, outlined on either side by a row of small pearl buttons. A dress of this type could be developed very attractively, using geogette and taffeta as the materials, or a little tub frock, employing white and polka-dotted handkerchief linen, or plain color chambray and plaid mercerized gingham, would be effective. Ideas for Table Decoration. There is no lovelier time for parties than now. A very attractive luncheon table may be made with little trouble. Paint the handle of a toy broom white and fasten it to a flat board so it will stand up in the middle of the table. Cover the board with moss. Wind the pole half-way down with pink and white ribbons, then extend a ribbon to each cover, alternating the colors. Buy small baskets and fill with arbutus. Tie a ribbon to the handle of each Lorelei Veil. One cannot but note the prevalence of taupe colored veils on well dressed women. There is something very soft and becoming about a bit of taupe colored tissue stretched before the face and the delicate tint that is more flattering to the complexion than black. The Lorelei pattern is worthy of its name, for it is distinctly alluring. Vines in delicate design stray up a fine hexagon mesh at either side of the face so that the latter seems peeping from a fairy bower. More conventional is a trellis pattern, and the lattice mesh which crossbars the face with definite lines is liked by women who wear tailored hats. Trimming for Sports Hats. In sports hats of the finer type a tailored suit of trimming, consisting of ribbon folds flatly laid against the hat and flat star-shaped bows, is generally the exact color and shade of the hat. In some cases the crown is swathed with wide wrinkled bands of two- basket. The menu should follow the color scheme as far as possible. A tall vase of apple blossoms or a glass basket of sweet peas with a pink tulle bow tie tied to the handle is very effective for a pink luncheon. A very simple menu would be toma-to blaque in bounion cups, with whipped cream; salmon with shrimp sauce, peas and creamed potatoes, salad of asparagus tips, the mayonnaise colored pink with vegetable coloring, strawberry ice cream and tiny cakes caked in pink and white. A very clever girl entertained her sewing club at such a pretty luncheon last spring. The table was quite unusual because there were no flowers. She used lace dollies, and in the center was a little Dresden figure, whose bouffant skirt was a plak satin pin cushion filled with needles and pins. There were four Dresden candiesticks with tall pink candles surrounding the lady, and the dishes containing the nuts and candles were small Dresden baskets. At each cover was a tiny sewing bag made of Dresden ribbon. The pasteboard bottom was stuck full of pins and it opened up for a needle book. On the place cards was written, "Needles and pins, needles and pins, when a man marries his trouble begins." Of course, when they read this the guests all became suspicious at once, and then the hostess showed them the new ring she was wearing on her third finger. Fashions and Fads. Skirts are generally ruffled. Sports hats of felt are most favored. Flexible bracelets are very much worn. Drop earrings are increasing in favor. Short elbow sleeves are much be frilled. Even baby dresses nowadays are smocked. Dolly boxes are being made of cretonne. Large pearl knobs are still seen on handbags. Some of the newest frocks have short sleeves. Your parasol may be any shape and be fashionable. Thick silk fringe is being used on English sports conts. Long stoles of ermine and velvet are worn this season. The simply trimmed hats are decidedly the most chic. Long, full sleeves have deep gauntlet cuffs of linen. Tailored suits of white pique are among the new things. New bathing suits are made of gay-figured materials. Buffed alligator is coming into use again for handbags. Both Dainty and Useful. In the accompanying sketch we show a dainty and useful little chalette that can certainly be made from fragments that we shall find ready at hand at home. The upper part is composed of a piece of card cut out in the shape shown in the diagram on the right of the illustration. The card is covered on both sides with silk and in front it 1 Bead Chatelaine. is edged with small beads and in the center there is a circle of beads and within the circle one large bead. Silk cords are sewn on either side and in the center, upon these cords large and small beads are threaded alternately. To the ends of the cords three ordinary keyrings are attached and upon these rings the various articles can be hung in the way shown. For suspending the chatelaine from the wrist, two hooks are sewn on at the back of the upper corners of the card and these hooks can be fastened into small loops or eyes sewn on in corresponding positions on the waistband. faced satin ribbon, softly rather than strongly contrasting in color, and tied in flat bows at one side. Sometimes only the knot is used with ruffled ends. Embroidery on the Blouse. The vogue of hand embroidery is a blessing for many reasons in that a very exclusive touch can be given to a garment. After examining the prices charged for embroidered blouses and frocks a woman can appreciate the worth of her own hand-ornamented garments. At the present time there is a very unusual way of treating a blouse. The right side of closing is scalloped and decorated with tiny sprays. The edge of the collar and cuffs is stamped in like manner. Beneath the stamped portion a piece of colored material, blue or lavender, is sewed, sufficient being provided to extend beyond the scalloped edge. The embroidering is done through the two thicknesses of material. In order that the attached piece will be effective the blouse should be white so that the idea will gain beauty by force of contrast. TO COOK SPINACH VEGETABLE DESERVES SPECIAL CONSIDERATION. One of the Best and Most Healthful That Is Grown—Various Ways of Preparing It for the Spinach is a standby at all times of the year. It can be prepared in many ways, but the basis of them all is the first careful looking over, washing and boiling. As a rule, the spinach, after washing, contains enough water to start the boiling, after which it will boil in its own liquid. Special care should be exercised in the drainage, because nothing is more unappetizing than a wet, soggy mass of spinach. It should always be drained in a colander and after that can either be cut with a knife or rubbed through a coarse sieve. The simplest way to serve spinach is to drain well, season with pepper, salt and a little butter. Boil two eggs hard and slice over the top and serve hot. Spinach and Cream.—One quart spinach, one tablespoonful butter, three tablespoonfuls of cream, pepper and salt. After the spinach has been boiled, and passed through a wire sieve, make the butter hot in a saucepan, add the spinach, pepper and salt to taste. Stir it over the fire and add the cream. If cream is not available, white sauce may be used instead. Spinach and Poached Eggs.—Prepare and cream the spinach as in the preceding recipe, put into a flat dish and lay three poached and well drained eggs on the top and garnish with crountons of fried bread. Spinach and Gravy.—One quart spinach, one tablespoonful butter, one tablespoonful flour, four tablespoonfuls good gravy, pepper and salt. Prepare the spinach as usual. Stir the flour with the butter in a saucepan for two minutes. Add the spinach, pepper and salt to taste, and as much gravy as possible, without making it soft. Stir over the fire until very hot. Dish and garnish with croutons. Plum Gumbo. Wipe five pounds of plums, remove the stones and cut the fruit in pieces. Chop two pounds of seeded raisins. Wipe three oranges and cut in thin slices crosswise, removing the seeds. Put the prepared fruit in a preserve kettle and add five pounds of sugar. Bring to the boiling point and let simmer until of the consistency of a marmalade. Fill sterilized jelly glasses with mixture, cover and seal. Serve with unsweetened wafers for lunchme. —Woman's Home Companion. Asparagus Souffle Boil one quart of chopped asparagus (cut in inch pieces) until tender. Cook one cupful of milk, one tablespoonful of butter, and two tablespoonfuls of coriastarch until the mixture is thick and smooth. Then add the yolks of two eggs, well beaten. Stir in the asparagus, season with salt and pepper and fold in the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs. Put into a buttered baking dish and cook in a quick oven until delicately browned. Serve once. Seasonings. A clove of garlic is one section of the root. Parsley should be minced and added at the last moment. A pinch of salt is an eighth of a teaspoonful. If only a mild onion flavor is desired, parboll the onion before adding it. Make little cheesecloth bags of herbs, well blended, for soups and stews. The bags can be withdrawn when the flavor has been sufficiently extracted. Flavor of Berries Improved To one box (one pint) of strawberries, picked over, washed (if they are of good size, slice them crosswise), add one teacupful of sugar and one teaspoonful of vanilla stir carefully, until sugar is mixed with the berries, let stand three or four minutes before putting on the shortcake, which should be warm and well spread with butter. Serve at once with whipped cream, or without. The vanilla improves the flavor of the berries to a very notable degree. Chicken on the Nest To make this nest, carefully hollow out a large sponge cake; prepare some shredded gelatin by soaking in cold water till moderately soft; mix a little spinach juice with it to make it green, then cover the cake, outside and in, with it. Fill either with the bought candy eggs or those molded of fudge in egg shells. Place a toy chicken on the eggs and present each guest with an egg at the conclusion of the meal. How to Cook Asparagus. Cut off the tough stalks, wash the tender parts and tie in bunches again; place in a saucepan and cover with boiling water. It will take from 20 to 30 minutes to cook it. Ten minutes before taking it up add a teaspoonful of salt for each bunch. When done serve on toast with butter sauce, or just spread with plain butter. Vermicelli Soup. Swell one-quarter pound of vermicell in a quart of warm water; then add it to good beef, veal, lamb or chicken soup or broth, with one-quarter pound sweet butter. Allow the soup to boil 15 minutes after it is added. Chinese Salad Equal parts of cold macaroni cut into small bits, minced cham, lobster and cold bolled carrot, chopped. Mix well and add some good mayonnaise dressing, with a few capers. About Eggs. If eggs are placed in hot water a few minutes before breaking the whites will separate from the yolks very easily. They must be cooled before whipping up the whites.
