One of the most remarkable, inspiring and intellectual sermons delivered in Allen Chapel in years was that delivered by Dr. A. C. Williams, pastor of Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, Birmingham, Ala., a delegate to the National Baptist Convention. Allen's aristocratic and immense congregation expected one of the ablest men of the convention would be assigned to preach for them last Sunday, but it was wholly unprepared for the magnificent message and man that was sent to them. To say that Dr. Williams is a great preacher is but a faint conception of his versatility ability. He is an orator, scholar and elocutionist, and a singer par excellent and his dramatic fire and Chesterfieldian poses simply carried his audience by storm. He was deluged by congratulations at the close of the service and it is safe to say that every one of his auditors out of a congregation of more than 1,200 whoever has the opportunity to go to Birmingham will be found hunting for the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church to again have the opportunity of listening to his matchless eloquence. EBENEZER CHAPEL. Saturday night ended the Week's Choir Carnival at the park. To say that it was a grand affair is making a mild compliment. Rev. Williams' plan of the affair brought together unquestionably the most brilliant and best trained chorus in this section of the country. The selections rendered were from the best composers and rendition showed hard study and faithful application on the part of both members and directors as well. There were three ladies selected from the Mozart Musical Club of this city who acted as judges. They were: Mrs. J. B. Bird, Mrs. F. J. Roff and Mrs. F. J. Hoghland. Their judgment was upon those technicalities best known to musical folk of ability such as enunciation, volume and other points. Two hundred and ten dollars was given in prizes. Their decision follows: First Prize—Ebenezer A. M. E. Choir, City, J. Knox, director, $100. Second Prize—First A. M. E. Church Choir, Kansas City, Kan., Major N. Clark Smith, director, $50. Third Prize—Allen Chapel A. M. E. Choir, Quindaro, Kans., Mme. Efei Grant-Hardy, directress, $25. Fourth Prize—St. Paul A. M. E. Church Choir, Argentine, Kan., Mme. Ophella Watts-Jackson, directress, $15. Fifth Prize—St. Luke A. M. E. Church Choir, Westport, Mo., Mme. Maud McCormick-White, directress, $10. Sixth Prize—Bethel A. M. E. Church Leavenworth, Kans., $10. Mme. Cora Evans of the First A. M. E. Church, Kansas City, Kansas, won the $10 prize as the best soloist. Sunday, September 30, will be our last Quarterly Meeting. The First A. M. E. Church Choir of Kansas City, Kansas, will furnish music for the afternoon services. The Kansas City Sun McKINLEY'S WAR COST LESS BLOODSHED THAN WILSON'S PEACE: By Theodore Roosevelt Under President McKinley we had a war with Spain. Under President Wilson we are assured that we have had "peace" with Mexico. These are the words. Now for the deeds. During the war with Spain fewer Americans were killed by the Spaniards than have been killed by Mexicans during the present "peace" with Mexico. Let me repeat this. A greater number of Americans have been killed by Mexicans during these years, when we are officially informed that we have been at peace with them, than were killed by the Spaniards during our entire war with Spain. Moreover when the war with Spain was through, it was through. But peace still continues to rage as furiously as ever in Mexico. Nor is this all. The instant effect of the outcome of the war with Spain was to put a stop to the dreadful butchery and starvation in Cuba and the Philippines on a career of eighteen years of peace and prosperity such as they had never known before in all their checkered history. But during these three years of Mr. Wilson's "peace," the Mexicans themselves have been butchered by their own bandits steadily and without intermission; and Mexican women and children have died by thousands—probably by scores of thousands—of starvation, and of the diseases incident to starvation. In other words, Mr. McKinley's war cost less peace; and it reflected high honor on the American people; whereas Mr. Wilson's peace has been one of shame and dishonor for the American people, and one of ruin and bloodshed for the Mexicans. A DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR. Mrs. M. N. Young was the charming hostess at an elaborate and very pretty card party last Monday afternoon from 2:00 to 5:00 o'clock at her residence, 3412 East 12th street, given in honor of Miss Mable Fairchild of Houston, Texas. Forty ladies indulged in whist while Miss Edna Hammett furnished music for the occasion.

Stout Leading the Movement—Editor Hamlett Delivers Ground Breaking Sermon. Winston-Salem, N. C., Sept. 14. Last Sunday was a great day in Winston-Salem, a new epoch was marked in the Negro Church life of the city, a new impetus was given the religious and philanthropic activities of the people. Dr. Rufus S. Stout, Corresponding Secretary of Church Extension of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, came here from Pine Bluff, Ark., in the interest of his denomination. He spoke with such eloquence and power that he reached the hearts of the two wealthiest men in the city, Mr. R. J. Reynolds, tobacco king, and Mr. P. H. Hanes, another multi-millionaire. Col Reynolds, after listening to this great race leader, gave him two lots worth $1,500 upon which to erect a fine C. M. E. Temple and then gave five thousand dollars to assist in the building. Dr. Stout is being praised far and wide for securing this magnificent gift from one of the wealthiest men in the South. Mr. Reynolds pays to the colored people of Winston-Salem, thirty thousand dollars per week for labor in his mammoth tobacco factories. The ground breaking services for the new C. M. E. Temple were held Sunday when Rev. J. Arthur Hamlett of Jackson, Tenn., editor of the Christian Index, official organ of the C. M. E. Church, delivered the ground breaking sermon from the subject "Holy Ground." Others who spoke during the day were His Honor, the Mayor Eaton; Drs. Boyer, McLarty and Courtney of the white Methodist churches; Col. Hanes, a multi-millionaire; Prof. Thompson, Mrs. Sills and Mr. Cash. It was a great day in Winston-Salem and Dr. Stout has added another achievement to his already brilliant history as a great race worker. MAYOR ROLPH IS GOOD SAMAR TAN TO AFRICAN METHO- DIST ZION CHURCH. His Honor Lifts Mortgage for Organi zation That Prayed for Him When III. His Messenger a Member. If Lemuel Harris, Mayor Rolph's colored messenger, did not happen to be a member of the African Methodist Zion Church, it is probable that the Church property would be sold at a sheriff's sale next Tuesday. Up to a few weeks ago the flock was led by Rev. E. D. W. Jones. He left suddenly, leaving behind him two mortgages, interest payments overdue and a deficit in the Church treasury, Rev. E. M. Clark succeeded Rev. Jones coming to San Francisco from the South. Rev. Clark, together with W. W. Matthews, presiding elder of the Church, vainly fought for funds. In their search they called on the mayor's messenger. The trio was gloomily discussing the depleted finances of the Church when Mayor Rolph appeared. "Jnit' that your Church, Lem?" asked the mayor. "Yes, sir. I am honored by a membership and my wife is a stewardess." "Was that the congregation that prayed for me while I was in the hospital?" "Yes, sir, it was." "Come to my office this afternoon and I will see that your indebedness bothers you no more," said the mayor.—San Francisco examiner. MOBERLY, MISSOURI. (By Mrs. W. H. Davis.)

Davis of Moberly, Mo., pastor of the First Baptist church of Keytesville. The Rev. preached again at 3 p. m. at the closing of this sermon there were ten of the brethren that expressed their desire for prayer in the interest of their souls. There were also fifteen of the congregation that expressed the same desire. A large attendance was present throughout the day. A blessing was sent to the lodge and entire community that day.

For those who can hear there is the gong signal that announces that the train is coming! For those who can see there is the red signal light set up over dangerous places in the street or road. For sailors there is the buoy bell and also the great lighthouse signal that revolves constantly in its place. For those who live in civilized countries there is the weather bureau, a government organization for the purpose of making systematic meteorological observations, forecasting the weather and giving information of the approach of storms, floods and the like. All these provisions have been made by men to save others from danger and possible death. The information relating to the weather leads us to write in behalf of the delinquent subscribers of The Sun. Just now the weather forecast of the daily newspaper or the warning flags of the prophetic almanac impresses one with the fact that heavy rains beginning this month are due throughout autumn. Since it is customary to use stories to illustrate teachings, whether they are based on actual fact or not we raise our warning to its highest level as we recalle the story of the man who got caught in a thunder storm and crawled into a hollow log. It is said that the log, under the influence of the dampness, swelled up so that the man couldn't get out. Thinking his time had come the sins of his past life came before him. Among them was the sin of his indebtedness to the editor of his paper. When he thought about how mean this was he shrank up until he became so small that he crawled out through a knot hole and hurried to the editor's office. LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS.

Nelson Crews of Kansas City made an appeal for the passage of the original resolu: tion, saying that all right-thinking colored men believed in it and fa- vored It. Because of an incomplete roll of delegates a vote on the resolu- tion was deferred until a later session. A distinguished visitor to the con- gress was introduced in the person of Bishop 1. N. Ross of the A. M. B. church, He made a short address, saying in part as follows: “I assure you this has been very refreshing to me. I have been so much engrossed In my business that I have employed two and three secretaries, and I failed even to realize until this morning that you were in session, I feel that I owe it to myself to pay re- Spects to such a distinguished body of educators and race builders. “I have the right as an American citizen, who for 36 years has stood in the forefront championing the cause of the rights of men, to say that out of one blood God created all men to dwell npon the face of the earth, one rule to regulate the actions of men. “Anything that safors of difference or discrimination is a traversal or re- versal of the principles instituted by the King of Kings.

Fruit for use Ib ples or salads or as stewed fruit can be put up or canned without the use of any sugar at all, according te the canning spe cinliets of the United States depurt- ment of agriculture, ‘They, therefore, advise those who, because of the high Price of sugar, have been thinking of reducing the ainount of fruit they put up, to can as much of theit surplus as fossible by the use of boiling water When sugar sirup is beyond their means. Any fruit, they say, may be | Suocessfully sterilized and retained to | the pack by simply adding boiling wa- ter Instead of the hot sirup. ‘The use of sugnr, of course, is desirable in the canning of all kinds of fruits and maker a better and ready sweetened product, Moreover, most of the fruits when canned in water alone do not retain thelr natural flavor, texture, and color as well as fruit put up in sirup.

Serge Felveteen, and corduroy contribute to its durability and to its style as well, It Is Ikely that these new sports sults for aututin will be innocent of Stripes. Those shown so far are of plain materials or of plaids and plain fabries made up together, and they are undentably smart. Young or old, Women wear about the same styles in them, and they subtract years from the matron’s appearance in a way to make her rise up and call them blessed, besides cheerfully parting with her good money for them, . Among the most enticing suits, those made of white serge combined with the same materials In handsome col- ored plaids are triumphing.

Two very elegant hats, made for hose in mourning, are shown, ‘They will satisfy the most discriminating aste, for they fulfill all the require- hents for correct millinery of this par- Acular kind. ‘They are made in con- dervative and becoming shapes, of English crape or of a specially woven Wik and crape, and the workmanship tn them {8 above reproach, An all-crape hat is shown at the ‘eft, and all the world over its import 8 understood. It is the material used for the Brst period of mourning, The shape is a drooping brimmed sailor of moderate size, and {t is covered smoothly with crape. The facing 1s of the same exquisite material. Crape ‘s of a texture that lends Itself to the aaking of flower forms, and the trim- ing of this hat {s made of erape, Uhere are four large roses, each made of three sizes of crape petals set about & cabochon of crape at the center of the flower, ‘The hat {s lined with a soft silk. ‘The second hat 1s of silk with a wing made of folds of the silk and erape, It extends across the front of the hat and terminates in a large cabochon at the right side.

Perhaps this Fie to the fact that the striped ma- rials are associated mostly with times the skirt is white and the coat of the plaid with white collar and cuffs. Or a white skirt is banded with plaid, and a white coat has plaid cuffs and collar, belt and pockets, When the story is not told in plalds it veers to colored velveteens or cor: duroys.

It will be noticed that the skirt ex. tends only a Ittle below the shoe tops and it is not likely that the sports skirt will lose character by growing longer. One muy wear a suit of this kind with assurance, It is good to look at and full of its own style. Al- though the color combination is as quiet as possible the fabrics and the cut of the garment give the suit plenty of “snap.” There is nothing tame or commonplace about it. Yentent size to be worn with a veil, Vells of silk net, bordered with crape take the place of all-crape veils In new millinery. Or mesh veils bor. dered with bands of narrow grosgrain ribbon may be used after the period of first mourning Is passed. There ts much latitude in the choice of styles and the wearing of mourning in this country. But those who elect to wear It must not break certain rules, No extremes of styles are in keeping with the reserve that marks mourning ap- parel. Fabrics must be good and work- manship of the best.

Cut corn from cob when it is at the Proper stage and in filling the cans or glass Jars in which it I* to be pre served put some corn tn tl hottem, mashing this down with a cob from which the corn has been cut, until the milk comes out well. Put in another layer and mash again, and so on until the jar is full. The cans should be slightly heaping and the covers then ‘screwed on tight. When the cans are filled and covers on they should be put In the botler and set on a cart or frame s0 that they will not touch the, bottom. And they should be so ar- ranged that they will not touch each other. The bolter should then be filled with cold water, lwought to a boll and allowed to boil for four hours, Let stand until water ts cool; then remove cans and try covers to see If thy are tight. The cans should be kept cov- ered with water while boiling, and this may be done by keeping a kettle of boiling water handy. This method of canning Is recommended by the de- partment of agriculture as the most satisfactory for preserving corn, beans, peas and other vegetables. SAVING TRIPS TO MAIL BOX In These Days of Almost Universal Electricity, This Device Should Be in General Use.

In some places the houses, especially on farms, GY, | eee P |x ae q 4 ney ct i [4 1, ’ Ss } i CZ z gb re fo gO l . lf are at considerable distance from the Toad where the mail boxes are erect- ed on posts, In order to ascertuin whether or not the postman has left any mail it is necessary to muke a trip to the roadside and very often with the result that no mall is found. Now, the Idea of this improved mail box is to save steps, as will be seen. A good Idea of the construction of the device may be obtained by the illustration shown. It will be noticed that when the metal cover Is lifted it comes into contact with the small brass strip affixed at the rear of the box, thas creating a complete circult. Wires are run from this contact, and also from the metal lid, to the house where there {s an electric bell, fitted with a battery, which Is made to ring by the current created by the contact, thus announcing the definite arrival of the mail.

By his use of the Greek tongue he obtained permission to deliver this address, and by his wise use of thd Jewish language he gained the atten- tion of the excited crowd. Paul as serted his Jewish origin. (Acts 21-39). ‘Tarsus, where he was born, had a unl- versity which rivaled those of Athens and Alexandria, and Paul had probably heard its great philosophers, Paul was an educated man; he was brought up in Jerusalem from his early boyhood at the fect of Gamaliel its greatest teacher, Thus his religious training was according to the law of the fa- thers, and as “touching the righteous- ness which is of the law,” he was blameless (Phil, 3:6). He was zealous for God, doing what he thought he would have him do even when “perse- | cuted this way,” the way of forgive- ness, salvation and righteousness, | Jesus said, “I am the way.” Paul was at this time an instrument In the hands |of the rulers, carrying out thelr plans, ‘but he exceeded them in his zeal for “the traditions of our fathers (Gal. 1:14).

He had positive proof of the resurrection from the dead. This proof convicted him of sin, He had heard Jesus call. He ‘had asked Jesus what he would have him to do. He was ready to obey, and something was given him to do. ‘The light which he met on that journey ar- rested him in his mad course. ‘The ‘voice gave him his directions. In obedi- ence to the command, “Arise and go," he gained knowledge and skill. (2) He lights upon his interview with Ananias (v. 14) where he recelved personal help from an experienced Christian, In the darkness nnd conflict of those three days of loneliness the questions must have been: Could he leave rank, honor, friends? Could he enter the service of the despised one and suffer reproach, danger and death? During this con- filet he must have had before him the vision of what God would have him do, and the work for whieh he chose hirs (vy. 16-18). His vision and commission constituted a strong motive for right decision. During the vision he came. into the light, and confessed his faith by his baptism. As a result of those three days and his Interview with Ananias he came to know God's will more fully, The next step was of course (3) his public avowal (See Acts 2:38; Heb. 10:22; Rom. 10:13; 1 Cor, 6:11). ‘The purpose of Paul's whole fe and mission was changed. For each of us, In our own degree, conversion brings similar changes of life. Have we experienced this great transforma- tion? 111, Paul's Dangerous Position (vv. 20-30). ‘The mob gave him audience until his words about the Gentiles, His declaration that God had commanded him to go upon a mission to the Gen- tiles was an offense to the Jews, and his words fell lke a “spark upon an inflammable mass of fanaticism.” They broke out Into a frenzy of excitement, and made preparations to stone him. An Oriental mob is hideous beyond de- gree, howling, yelling, cursing, gnash- ing thelr teeth, filnging thelr arms, casting off their garments (y. 23), throwing dust Into the air to relieve thelr excitement and to express thelr execration. It was @ manifestation of thelr uncontrollable rage. ‘The opposi- tion of a mob 1s no proof that the person {t curses 1s wrong, ‘The wrong was not in Paul but in the mob; the cause of the famine in Ahab's time was not In Elljah; the commotion of our day 1s not with the reformers, but with those who uphold the evils which should be reformed. Paul used every power he had to aid his fortune—his Roman citizenship, his social position, his knowledge of law and his training and quick wit. ‘The chief captain who spoke Latin and Greek would not un- derstand what Paul was saying in Hebrew (Aramaic), but from the fury of the people he concluded that Paul must be some great eriminal, and therefore ordered that Paul should be compelled by torture to confess his crime, While they were binding Paul he quietly asked the officer if it were lawful for them to scourge a Roman citizen, being uncondemned, ee eee tek NATIONAL CAPITAL ATTORIES Mystery of the Alligators Found in Rock Creek WASHINGTON.—There are no sharks in the District, it is true, but until recently there were live and uncivilized alligators disporting themselves in Rock creek near the zoo. They had not escaped from the alligator pond at the zoo, in fact, the authorities are in the dark as to how they got in the creek. It might have rained alligators, or maybe some person who had them as pets let them stray down the street in an unguarded moment. Anyway, they appeared suddenly near the zoo.

Where Uncle Sam Cares for 3,200 Insane Persons Where Uncle Sam Cares for 3,200 Insane Persons ON THE southern outskirts of Washington there is a large country estate which belongs to the government. Extending over several hundred acres of green lawns and farm lands are 60 brick buildings and frame cottages which house over 3,200 residents. There are all the appurtenances of a self-supporting colony, from a blacksmith's shop to a shoe factory. There is an ice plant, a bakery, a dairy with a herd of 201 cows, and a big carpenter shop, where tools and furniture and brooms are fashioned. The residents make their own clothes, farm the land and care for the lawns, do the building and repair work and give their own theatricals in a theater built for the purpose.

Here come psychologists from all over the United States to work in the psychological laboratory, as well as many eminent alienists from abroad, who, while coming to observe and study, bring many new and interesting theories with them. For the last 25 years the asylum has been under the superintendence of Dr. William A. White, a psychologist of the modern school and an admirable executive who has worked out the present unique system by which all necessities are produced by the patients within the confines of the grounds. As an economic expedient not much can be said in favor of the system, since the great majority of the articles manufactured could be bought very much cheaper direct from factories, but the work serves to keep the patients occupied and contented. Every day any number of patients may be seen laboring busily about the place, cutting the grass, working the farm and feeding the poultry and cattle; and if it were not for the pathetic similarity of expression on their faces, the broad iron bars on the windows of the houses and the high brick wall which completely surrounds the grounds you would imagine that Uncle Sam was conducting a summer agricultural and industrial college. St. Elizabeth's, as the asylum is called, was established by the government in 1855, primarily for the military insane, although it was also to take care of the insane of the District of Columbia, who at that time were not very numerous. Now, in addition, it receives all the insanncy cases of the federal prisons, for which there is a special building securely barred and elaborately guarded.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1916 ODD NAMES GIVEN CHILDREN Seems an Injustice for Parents to Inflict Some of Them on Their Helpless Offspring. It would seem a poor sort of humor to label a child with a Christian name which fits the surname all too well, like Sardine Box, Jolly Death, Holly Stick, Rose Bush, Long Street, Seldom Early, and the like, but it is done, nevertheless. Of course, Nemesis is sometimes on the track of these practical jokers, only his revenge is probably wreaked on the namebeaver rather than on the parents. For instance, Wild Rose sounded very appropriate in infancy, but when the pretty Miss Rose married the fascinating Mr. Bull, and she had to sign her resignation paper Wild Bull it sounded a bit queer! Somebody, of course, nobody is to blame. Nobody was in the case of Hetta Simpson, who married John Lott, but she got unmercifully chaffed over the combination, Hetta Lott. But the font-fiend who perpetrated the following joke upon his unconscious though wildly protesting bairn must have known what he was doing. Probably if the parson had twigged the diabolical design of the smiling father he might have transposed two of the names and spoiled the plor. The parents were called Gunn, and when the parson asked for the child's baptismal names the father whispered, "Benjamin Isaac Geoffrey," and it sounded all right. But fancy that lad writing all his life such a conceived signature as B. I. G. Gunn! It's too dreadful! There are certain names that are "off the map." Such are Jezebel, Ananias, Sapphira, Judas and Beelzebub. But occasionally parents have been known to take a mean revenge on a new and unwelcome arrival, as, for instance, One-too-many Johnson, Not wanted Smith, Odious Heaton. Poor kids! Sometimes the idea is the reverse. So profoundly thankful are the happy pair to have a new baby that they must express their joy at the front. Thus we get Merry Christmas Figgot. Welcome Jones, but it is difficult to admire such names as Noah's Ark Smith and Anno Domini Davis. Many people wrongfully conclude that the names bestowed by Bunyan upon his immortal jury at Vanity Fair were very exceptional. But his Mr. Hatelight and Mr. Liveloose had their counterpart in the local director of Bunyan's time. Singularly enough, a volume published in 1700 gives a copy of a "Jury Return made at Rye, Sussex, England, in the late Rebellious Troublous Times." The names of the 12 were: Meek Brewer, Graceful Harding, Kill-sin Pimple, Earth Adams, Weep-not Billing, More Fruit Fowler, Hope-for Bending, Return Spelman, Fly Debate Roberts, Stand Fast On High Stringer, Be Faithful Joiner, and Fight the Good Fight of Faith White. Shutting Up the Shop. It is rather surprising to the foreigner visiting South American countries for the first time to find most of the best and prettiest shops almost hermetically sealed at night. If the building is of the older style of construction the heavy shutters are closed and locked by iron bars; if a more modern building, the flexible sliding doors and windows are completely drawn, and the passerby can see nothing within the shop. All is darkness save the light of the street lamps; no brilliantly lighted windows help to add cheer and brightness to the street. In European and American cities the average merchant is willing to spend money freely for nightly display of his wares and merchandise. He realizes and appreciates the publicity. The evening crowds upon our streets are highly entertained and even instructed by window displays of the busy streets. Herein lies the difference; for, as a rule, the South American streets, busy and attractive during the day, are quite the reverse at night. Even in some of the larger cities the old custom of hermetically sealing the shop at night prevails. To Good Purpose. That Madame Sarah Bernhardt should have become a French subject has puzzled a great many people. The seeming mystery is explained, however, by the fact that when "the Divine Sarah" married a Greek in the early eighties she took her husband's nationality. The famous tragedienne tells an amusing little story of two kind-hearted old ladies who set out one day to buy a couple of seats for a "Bernhardt matinee." On their way to the theater they changed their minds, determined to deny themselves pleasure and to give the money for the seats to two poor relations instead. They did so. A short time afterward, meeting the poor relations, they ventured to express a hope that the money had been found of good service. "Indeed it was," they were told. "We bought seats for the Bernhardt matinee and enjoyed ourselves immensely!" Language. Language has always followed in the wake of trade, and Babel-like confusion has prevailed along channels wherein men and their marketable commodities flowed. The history of Europe during the nineteenth century shows that modern reconstruction of nationalities is based on language; practically all the wars of this period are the outcome of three great constructive movements, which were the outward and visible signs of the progress of democratic ideals, and that the delimitation of international frontiers is as necessary as the determination of administrative boundaries or city lines. Sensitive. "Why don't you become a philanthropist?" "Mr afraid to," replied Mr. Dustin Stax. "You never know when an effort to do something big for your fellow men is going to be misconstrued as an ostentation of wealth." In Transylvania ONE OF THE GATES OF THE ANCIENT WALLED CITY OF BRASSO ALL NATIONS of the world have their eyes fixed on the colossal struggle which is shaking civilization to its very foundations, but by none is it watched with more breathless eagerness than by that province on the western side of the Carpathians which is cut off from its kindred and bound by fetters of iron into a sheaf of alien races. Magyar, Slav, Bosnian, Croatian, Teuton—with his fellow-subjects of Kaiser Franz Josef the Latin inhabitant of Transylvania has absolutely no sympathy. On the contrary, he detests them, one and all, though he reserves his deadliest hatred for his hard taskmaster, the Hungarian. But with the Romanian on the farther side of the Transylvanian Alps he has all things in common, blood, language, descent. Roumania, the Roman's land; Transylvania, that part of the Roman's land which lies beyond the forests. And that part which lies beyond the forests looks with unspeakable longing for the deliverance which the Hapsburg's overthrow will bring, for that victory which will reunite her to her kin, writes J. M. Dodington in Country Life. It is an interesting land, that which lies beyond the forests, and there is, perhaps, no quainter town in Europe than its ancient capital, Kolozsvar, Embossed in trees, its ancient houses struggle over several hills, its two rippling rivers are crossed by picturesque covered wooden bridges which rival those of Lucerne and Florence. Its narrow, unpaved streets are lighted by electricity, but sanitation, in all and all of its branches, is totally ignored, and in its main thoroughfares, beside the lines of the electric tramway, run open sewers. These discharge themselves into the two rivers. I may add that the visitor has a not altogether agreeable sensation when he observes the brown-skinned washerwomen pounding his linen on the banks of the said streams and subsequently rinsing it in their turbid waters! In these narrow, unpaved streets there are many lofty and spacious mansions, tenanted by the haute aristocratic of the country. Like the palazzi of Florence and of Rome, the ground floors of these are entirely occupied by shops. On the first floor, the piano nobile, lives the owner (if sufficiently well off to afford such lodgment). The upper floors are let to tenants of many degrees, whose station varies in inverse proportion to their altitude. If the owner of the mansion is a poor man, he himself "goes up higher." Standing solitary on a hill outside the town is a whitewashed fortress from which one has a superb view over hill and dale, over forest and river, away and away to the far blue line of the Carpathians. Kolozsvar also possesses a fine public park, under whose fragrant lime trees a magnificent Tzigany band discourses wildest music. Market Day in Kolozsvar But the greatest charm of the little town (it has a population of but a bare 20,000 souls) is its market day. Then, under the largest and most gorgeously colored umbrellas in Europe (I should imagine) do groups of the most picturesquely attired countrywomen assemble, surrounded by piles of the most delightful fruit and vegetables, downy peaches, crimson plums, luscious grapes—purple, yellow and white—rosy apples, blue-black figs, blood red poml d'oro, gigantic melons and cucumbers, huge red peppers, produce of garden and orchard of every color and form, and all framed in garlands of roses of every imaginable hue. Present everywhere, roaming and rooting among the stalls, are flocks of long-necked geese and herds of the peculiarly hideous swine of the country whose happiest hunting grounds are the Transylvanian forests. Most beautiful forests they are which clothe the foothills, magnificent His Probable Deduction. "Mercy?" virtuously exclaimed the traveler who had halted his motorcar in front of the residence of Mr. Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge, with the intention of inquiring the way to Torpidity, only to be temporarily swerved from his purpose by loud and violent language addressed by the said Johnson to his four-year-old son. Bearcat. "What will your offspring think of your yellingly denouncing him as a blankity-blanked (I do not care to repeat your oths literally) son-of-ahorse-thief?" "Well," was the reply, "if he's as smart as I was at his age he'll sorter suspect that I'm liable to get mad after a while and rough him up some."—Kansas City Star. American Hardware the Best. American-made hammers lead the world not only in quality and workmanship but in price, the adz eye feature being typical of hammers made in this country and adding much to their practicability. American hardware manufacturers can compete with all their lines in most foreign markets, but can only hope to obtain control of oaks and beeches, with here and there a clump of silver birches or an avenue of stately pines. At rare intervals comes a clearing in which nestles a little cluster of mud huts backed by a miniature village church. The small fields which surround the tiny hamlets are carpeted with wild flowers, Campions and poppies of immense size and most brilliant coloring, orchids of many varieties, cornflowers—blue, purple and amethyst—wild roses of a vivid pink and with thornless stems, yellow snappragons, delicate harebells and fragrant pinks—there is no end to the variety of blossom. The air is exhilarating as champagne; though the heat in summertime is very great during the noontide hours, at sundown a refreshingly cool breeze invariably springs up and a heavy dew begins to fall. It is a most delightful experience to room then through the beautiful forest, listening to the tinkle of the bells as the heards of sheep, cattle, pigs, buffaloes wander down the magnificent aisles, to the flute of the shepherd and the horn of the guardian of the swine. Equally pleasing it is, during the heat of the day, to spend long hours of dolce far niente on a spring bed of wild thyme by the side of a brawling streamlet—I may add that for the inveterate angler it is an even more enjoyable experience to extract from its dark pools and alluring stickles many a lusty trout. For almost all of these forest "burns" abound in fish—not very large, it is true, but vigorous fighters, giving excellent sport. There are very few tenant farmer in the country; immensely big landowners are the rule, and these, with the aid of a host of ballfires, manage their own estates. They devote each farm to some special object; one, for instance, is the ox farm, another the sheep farm, a third is set aside for horses, a fourth for donkeys, another for poultry, another for pigs, and yet another is the dairy farm. It is, by the way, rather a curious fact that cows' milk is despised by all rich man and peasant alike. It is looked upon as only fit for pigs and calves, or to be mixed with other milk in the making of cheese. Only buffalo milk is considered fit for human consumption; this is, however, to an English palate, far too rich, both in quality and flavor. Outside almost every village in Transylvania is the gypsy quarter. Outside it, not in it, for the despised Tzigany is never allowed to dwell among the villagers or to mix with them on equal terms. He is the basketmaker, occasionally the brickmaker, of the neighborhood—but always and everywhere he is the music-maker. The gypsies are the orchestra of every town and village, at every fest they play untiringly, hour after hour, while the peasants dance. Men and women alike are dowered with the gift of music, and the wild Czardas crashed out by a Tzigany band makes even the cool blood of a Northerner tingle in his veins. But fiddling is not the gypsy's only accomplishment; he is also a most expert thief. In fact, a legend of the country says that when a Tzigany baby makes its entrance into this vale of tears it is laid on its back upon the ground, while a purse is placed on its right side and a fiddle on its left. According to the direction in which it first extends a tiny fist its profession in life is determined! A fair, land fair that "beyond the forests"—a more than interesting people, varying infinitely in rank, in character, in customs, even in beliefs, but united in one overpowering longing: to free their necks from the Magyar yoke, and to be reunited with their kindred on the farther side of the Transylvanian Alps. Condor Soars High. It is believed to be no rare occurrence for a condor to soar to a height of four miles. them by sending into those fields capable and experienced representatives, whose duty it should be to demonstrate to both dealer and the workman the superiority of their tools. A shortage of hardware supplies exists all over the world. Wherever people sow and reap, mine, lumber, construct or build, there are markets for American hardware and this is especially true at present in Latin America, China, Russia, Australia and South Africa. Cooperation in selling to foreign markets is especially necessary in this line, owing to the expense of opening territory.—Leslie's. Explaining Catastrophe A five-year-old boy was joyously driving his pet dog hitched to a small wagon one afternoon last week. A woman passed said, "That is a fine horse and wagon you have." "It's a train and a engine," testily replied the child. Returning two hours later the woman saw the boy sitting on the sidewalk beside the broken wagon. "Oh, what has happened?" said she sympathetically. "The engine saw a cat," briefly replied the boy. UNDERWRITER TOOK THE BAIT Quaker's Shrewd, If Somewhat Unscrupulous Trick, Had the Success He Anticipated. Some months ago the Companion told a little tale of old privateering days, in which a quick-thinking employee who discovered a long-overdue privateer coming into port with a prize, by some very hard riding overtook the owner of the ship on his way to the underwriter's and saved him from the useless payment of a heavy premium. An English Quaker was reminded of an anecdote of the same period, based on the same situation, which occurred among his own people. Two Qunkers, a merchant and an underwriter meeting at an inn, began talk business over their meal. The merchant presently proposed to his friend to insure his vessel, lost or not lost, which ought soon to arrive; in fact, it was already slightly overdue. The premium would necessarily be high, but the times were perilous and the Yankee privateers had recently taken many prizes upon the route the vessel must cover. The underwriter hesitated. The policy was made out, but his mind was not made up. Finally he put the paper into his pocket, saying: "I will sleep on the matter, friend Joseph, and tomorrow I will return it to thee, signed or unsigned." They parted and went to their homes. Before dawn an urgent messenger clattered at the merchant's door. He was a bearer of bad tidlings. The vessel was lost. It was, unless it was insured, a heavy misfortune. If only that policy had been signed the day before! He had little belief that his hesitating friend would have decided to take the risk; he was a cautious and a keen person, with a reputation for sharp practice. But Joseph saw in that fact his opportunity. Summoning a messenger, to whom he said no word of his loss, he dispatched him with a message, instructing him carefully what words to use. He was to say: "Friend Joshua, neighbor Joseph desires me to inform thee that, if thee hast not underwritten, thee needst not do it." The message was delivered promptly and precisely. Friend Joshua, who had not signed, and had decided against doing so, understood it to mean that the ship had arrived safely, and the owner did not wish to pay the premium, now useless, unless the signed document required him in honor and law to do so. That is what the canny Joseph expected him to think; and he proceeded to act as Joseph had guessed he might act. He pretended not to find the policy where he looked for it in his office, slipped it stealthily among a handful of other papers, which he carried carelessly with him into the next room, where he went ostensibly to seek further, and there styly signed it. Presently he brought it back and delivered it to the messenger with the message: "Tell thy master I had signed." It was not a pretty bit of business—friend Joseph's trick was a little too clever—but certainly no one can sympathize with friend Joshua. It was a case of the biter bit. Youth's Companion. Where No Taxes Are Paid. Where No Taxes Are Paid. Happy and free from the worries of war taxation are the people of Lundy island, that little speck off Devon in the English channel, the "king" of which, Rev. Hudson Hetvet, died a short time ago. The reverend gentleman administered the affairs of the island from 1887 to 1904, as his father, who bought the island in 1834 for about $9,000, did before him. The inhabitants of Lundy number about forty and lead an uneventful life. They pay no taxes, are attached to no parish or union and have no poor. The island has a romantic and lawless history and was once considered an excellent harbor and refuge for murderers. Bardsley island, situated in the Irish sea, off the county of Carnarvon, is another spot where the tax collector is unknown. There are about sixty people on the island, who elect their own king. The inhabitants are mostly engaged in farming and fishing. The island got its name from the tradition that it was the last retreat of the Welsh bards. In ancient times it had a reputation for sanctity and to be buried on its soil was an honor much to be desired. It is believed that more than 50,000 "saints" gained this privilege. How to Drink Milk Sip milk slowly. Take four minutes at least to finish a tumblerful, and take only a good teaspoonful at one sip. This is the ideal way in which to drink milk. When milk finds its way into the stomach, it is instantly curdled. If you drink a large quantity at once it is curdled into one big mass, only on the outside of which the juices of the stomach can work. If you drink it in little sips, each sip is curdled up by itself, and the whole glassful finally finds itself in a loose lump, made up of little lumps, upon which the stomach's juices may act readily. Many people who like milk, and know its value as a strength-giver, think they cannot use it because it gives them indigestion. Most of them could use it freely if they would drink it properly.

DADDY'S EVENING FAIRY TALE MARY GRAHAM BONNER BROWNIE'S COMPOSITION "A little Girl once had a Composition to write in School," said Daddy, "and there was a Prize offered for the best one. "This little Girl, whose name was Kitty, was very anxious to win the Prize. 'I shall work so hard over it,' she said to herself. "Now one afternoon it began to Rain and it was not at all nice out-of-doors to Play, but some of her Friends came to her House and asked her to take a good, long Walk with them. "I can't go,' she said. "Why? they all asked in surprise, "Because,' she answered, 'I want to write my Composition.' "Oh, nonsense, come with us,' one of the Girls said. 'You don't have to have that Composition written for days and days—almost two weeks. You'd better have a good time now and think about it later.' "But after a little more urging and coaxing they left her. "Kitty sat for a long time thinking. She wished she had gone with her Friends. It would have been all right to write it later—just as they were going to do. Why had she thought she could do a better one if she took more time working over it? She would And Then They Told Her. have felt far more like writing a Composition—she now thought—if she had taken a Walk. "She put her hand to her head and thought hard—but she couldn't think of anything to write! She dipped her pen into the ink-well and only made two smudge spots on the paper in front of her. "Oh,' she sighed, 'I wish I had gone for a Walk. This Rain is making me sleepy—and staying in the House all afternoon is so silly!' She really was much annoyed with herself and soon she put her head down on her Desk and went sound, sound asleep. "Pretty soon the two smudge spots grew larger and larger. They seemed to get round and funny and fat—and she almost saw them grinning at her! "Soon she saw that around one spot was a wide band of white on which were written the words: "I'm Mr. Pen and I'll write you a Stery. "And around the other spot was written: "I'm Mr. Ink and I'll write you a story." "But I don't want two Stories,' cried Kitty. 'I only want one. If I write two they will think I want to have two chances while everyone else has one. That will never do.' "But the round, smudgy spots proved to be Bille Brownie and Bennie Brownie, and it was around their hats that the words were written about Mr. Pen and Mr. Ink. "We are going to whisper to you the most marvelous of Stories,' they said. And they grinned and hugged each other with delight. "She'll win the Prize,' said Bille Brownie, and his brother, Bennie, laughed and said: "She certainly will.' "And then they told her, while she was napping, the most wonderful Story you can imagine. 'I won't forget it, will I?' she asked. And the two Brownies laughed and said: "Forget one of our Stories? Never!" "And then Kitty stretched out her arms until one hand was taking hold of Mr. Pen and the other was bringing Mr. Ink's Home—the ink-well—forward on the Desk. "Ah,' she said, as she rubbed her eyes and looked at the paper in front of her. 'What a nice Sleep I have had. I feel so fresh and just like writing a Composition. I am so glad I didn't go out—for I know just what I want to write about.' "Kitty wrote all the afternoon and the very last thing she did was to make a nice, neat copy of the Composition. When it was all ready and tied with a little piece of blue string at the top, she put it away in her Desk drawer until the time came to hand it in. "Of course, she took the Prize and the Teacher said that it was because her Composition showed she had taken time to think about it, but Kitty knew it was because of the Brownies!" People Who Radiate Cheer. Who can estimate the value of a sunny soul who scatters gladness and good cheer wherever he goes, instead of gloom and sadness? Everybody is attracted to cheerful faces and sunny lives, and repelled by the gloomy, the morose, and the sad. We envy people who radiate cheer wherever they go, and fling out gladness from every pore. Money, houses and land look contemptible beside such a disposition.—Detroit Free Press. In the Place of Danger. A young mother hearing her two-year-old crying loudly, rushed to him and inquired anxiously: "What is the matter? " "The dog bit me," was the teerful response. "Where were you when he bit you?" "Boo-hoo! I was—I was by—I was by the dog." THEKANSASCITYSUN PUBLISHED WEEKLY All communications should be addressed to The Kansas City Sun, 1803 East 18th Street.

"As goes Maine so goes the Nation" has been true for fifty years. The wine of solace which the Negro Democrats are drinking to President Wilson is really the gall of bitterness if the sense of taste is not wholly dead in the mouths of said N. D's. Much credit is due Drs. Hurse, Beckham and Williams for the magnificent manner in which they entertained the recent National Baptist Convention. Every Baptist in Kansas City owes a debt of gratitude to those tireless hustlers. That thirteen thousand majority in Maine is not going to do much good in Missouri next November unless the G. O. P. gets a safe line upon the united Negro vote in this state. The only way to do that is to come clean with the whole people and assure a square deal. Cole Blease has been defeated in the gubernatorial primary of his ill-famous state which perhaps goes to show that even in South Carolina the people may grow tired of Negrophobia and the encouragement of prison convicts who have been turned loose to recruit the mobs. President Wilson has promised the Negro Democrats that he will soon give out an open letter in which he will set forth his attitude toward the race, just as if every Negro who has a grain of sense does not already know the attitude of the man who has spent four years in subly robbing us of every decent political hope and civic right. The President is as skillful in his open letters as he is with his diplomatic epistles and we may look forward to some very fine playing upon college words. SACRIFICIED COUNTRY'S HONOR AND INTEREST. Mr. Wilson's defenders say he "has kept us out of war." As a matter of fact his policy in Mexico has combined all the evils of feeble peace with all the evils of feeble war. He has secured none of the benefits of war; but he has not avoided war. He has sacrificed the honor and the interests of the country; bue he has not received the thirty pieces of silver.—From the speech of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, delivered at Lewiston, Maine, in behalf of Charles E. Hughes. To the W. M., Wardens and Brothers, Greeting: The following officers were elected and installed at the 50th Annual Com- munication of the M. W. Grand Lodge of Missouri and Jurisdiction, A. F. and A.

Agents Wanted Liberal Terms MA Scalp Specialist and 2533 Woodland --- Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 14, 1914. Dear Sir: Your article in last week's issue of The Sun under the caption of "Jim Crowing the Negro Voters" struck the keynote of the present political situation in Missouri. But for the years of traffic in and betrayal of the Negro voters by white men without other occupation or visible means of support there would not be a single Negro in the state voting the Democratic ticket. To those who are conversant with the past history of the race the Negro's loyalty to the Republican party is regarded as the highest evidence of his gratitude and sterling manhood. The party of Lincoln, of Grant, of Garfield, of Sumner, of Foraker, of Roosevelt and of McKinley stood for Liberty, for Union, for Progress, for Protection, for Prosperity and for Men, regardless of color or previous condition of servitude, and more, they believed in the fatherhood of God and the universal brotherhood of man. It was under the leadership of these men that the Negro learned to love the Republican party, and so long as that party remains true to the doctrine taught by the above great characters he will continue to give it his loyal support. Your masterly espousal of these principles and of the election of Hughes and Fairbanks will be appreciated by the Negroes of the whole nation. The Wilson administration has been hostile to every interest of the Negro; so much so, that his constitutional rights have been practically swept away, and this, too, by the process known as "Jim Crowing." Let's relegate the white Jim Crowers in the Republican party NOW. The party CAN AND MUST SPARE THEM if it wishes to retain the Negro vote. J. SILAS HARRIS. Betty & Sam's Little Corner THEY SAY —That when men grow old they become both foolish and wise. —That that which is bought cheaply is usually the dearest. —That an old cat always likes young mice. —That if you lie down with dogs you will sure get up with fleas. —That many a “dinge” who paid $3.00 an hour for gasoline wagons last summer can’t stop a coal wagon this fall. —That if you’ve got money “you’re there;” if not, you’re out there. —That there are more mean, contemptible liars about paying their subscriptions in this good old town than anywhere else in America. Get me? —That when it comes to devising new plans and entertainment to raise funds (which are invariably successful) Rev. W. C. Williams easily takes the palm as the greatest hustler in the country. Amen. —That from the number of plain and fancy drunks seen on 18th street each Sunday, there must be an awful leak somewhere. "WORLD'S WONDERFUL HAIR TONIC" A food for the scalp.

It's broken the fee, anyway. Poor lonesome old man, { suppose the luck of friends has soured him," “Hm! He's a close-fisted old mis er, that’s what Zekiel Crane Is!” snort- ed Mr. Banks and swung away, dis- wusted and indignant, Nellie smiled sweetly at a big wood: en biby's savings bank standing on €@ little tible in the corner of the room, ‘Tht had been the delayed gift of Ner lushind’s uncle to little Ross: more, thelr child, Nellie's father had bought v zold charm for the little one sind Nelliv’s mother had donated a Protty outtit of dresses uni slips. That morning Uncle Zeklel had hobbled over from his farm with the bunk, ‘Mude it myself,” he sufd quite Proudiy. “See—a sort of imitation of thy old granary, with « cupola on the fop of It. ‘There's the chimney to put the pennies {n,* and he produced two and they, chinked down into the re- cepiacte. “You must save all I give and by the time Rossmore is of age there'll be quite a tidy sum.” Ant Nellie kissed the old man with sincere appreciation, for he had not tt nil; B wi | HAY | HAMA Y CRE = = eon = = @) Je | | esse a et 4 S&S Old Uncte Zekiel's Hi zekiel's Handwork Was a been to see them since their wedding When her husband came home. she Jed him to the bunk. “Uncle Zekiel's present to baby," she suid sweetly. Darrell Mason's lips wrinkled at the corner In a quizzical way “A token of good will, anyway dear" he ubserved. “Don't get sour over his miserly ways, He means Well, Is that cousin of lis, Luke Dunbar, who has come to live with him since L left, that has kept Uncle away and made him stingy." “How, Durrell?” inquired Nelle, with wondering blue eyes, “Well, Dunbar is a schemer and ts after the old wan's wealth, He ts a domineering fellow aud somehow had got the old man under his thumb so thut the poor old man is afraid to all his soul his own.” “T don't see how that ean bo," mur. mured Nellie. “Why, {t seems that Dunbar's fa ther had a pretence of a cluim to the old farm. It was thrown out of court twice, but the son has made uncle Deleve that be can bring a new sult and harass him and put tim to ex- pense. Uncle has such a horror of the law that be hus agreed, I under. stand, to leave the farm to Dunbar when he dies.” “It should be yours, dear, as the nearest of kin,” suggested Nellie, “Oh, I don’t covet it," declared Dar- rell lightly, “It always was a hard serabble tract. Besides, if Dunbar makes Uncle's last days’ tess lonely Jet him reap the rewurd.” “ut T hear that Mr, Dunbar ts not ® very good mun,” Intimate Nellie anligly, “No, he isn't, for a fact,” declared her husband bluntly. “I hear that he watches Uncle closely so that he won't get rid of any stray cash, hoping to get that, tov, when Uncle dies, I think that is the reason why Uncle hasn't come over to see us more often. Late- Jy, L learn, Dunbar has been carousing #round the town drinking shops, so that probably gave Uncle the oppor: tunity (0 slip over and see us." ‘This seemed to be true, for the very next day Mr. Crane put in a second ap: pearance at the cottage. He was quite chipper and took baby Rossmore on ‘his knee und chuckled over him, and then very ostentatiously dropped two more pennies into the “bank, ‘Then he missed two days, came reg: ularly for a week, nnd then got down to @ system of coming alternate morn- ings, Darrell ascertained that the days he missed were those when Dun- bar stayed at home to recover from the carouse of the evening previous. Always the pennies were the contri- bution of their visitor, and Uncle %ekiel used to get a card and pencil ‘and figure out what two cents would ‘amount to in twenty-one years. ‘Then he ae, ‘slap his thigh and chuckle 3 there'll be quite enough to Rossmore, if 1 tive long 5 oad ean des ee ten . would add, with a grim look And, at umes, malice on oh y two years passed away BE CoE patted boat ema taind mn home that Uncle Zekiel was Jdead. After the funeral a will was Feud that left the home to Dunbar, “And nothing left for you, dear!" Bighed Netlic. “E hear the farm was all there was lefty” advised Darrell. “Well, Unele Zekiel bad two years of pleasure tn the company of Rossmore and T think he really loved the dear little fellow." In about a month Luke Dunbar had left the village, a disgusted, disap: pointed man, The farm was a poor one. He might have secured a living from it and with care and work could have made it valuable, but he was a slug- gard. He left town ralling at “that old skinflint for spending all hts ready cnsh and leaving hitu a barren old waste!" It certainly was a mystery what had become of quite a sum Uncle Ze Kiet had once kept at the bank, ‘The extravagant habits of Dunbar were blamed for this, however. He put the form In the hands of an agent to sell for what it would bring, boasting “one royal good time when he got hold of the ready ensh!" Tt was a year later when Nellie and Darrell came into the house frow weeding the garden, “That precious child! whatever has he got hold of now?" exclaimed Nelile, as a banging, hammering sound echoed from the living room, “The irreverent little rogue!” cried Darrell, as they came upon the young hopeful, Little Rossmore, on the floor, the old bank before him, @ hammer in his hand, Old Unele Zekiel’s handwork was a inass of splinters.

ANCIENT BOARD OF CENSORS Athenians Had Their Own Effective Method of Guarding Against Too Free Speech. ‘The representatives of the different groups of thinkers argued with Paul— the Epicurians, who belleved in pleas. ure, and the Stoles, who believed In pain. ‘There had been something noble about the first teachings of Epicurus, but his followers had become sensual ists, believing the pleasure of the mo. ment to be all that was worth seeking Their watchword had become “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we dle." ‘The Stoics belleved that character wa: developed by self-denial, not self-denial for the sake of others but self-denial for its own sake, Professional and omateur followers of all these various Schools of thought wished to hear the Jewish street preacher who seemed to be “a setter forth of strange gods." But Athens did not altogether have free speech, says the Christian Herald. ‘The Athenians were jealous of thelr gods, The Judges had put Socrates to death some years before because they did not consider him orthodox. ‘The court held that he had dented? the reality of the Athenian gods and advo- cated a false religion. And now the Areopngites had to pass upon the teaching of Paul, This court of Areopagus was com- posed of regular professors and lectur- ers at the university. They put strange teachers to test to determine thelr fit- hess and orthodoxy. Areopagus means Mars Hill, but it has been discovered that the court did hot always meet on this hill. Its ses- sions had originally been held there, but at the time of Paul's visit to Athens It often met in the Stoa Basilia, the name of a royal portico near the market place. Besides the judges the public itself was admitted t6 these hearings, So our friend Paul had pre- clsely the kind of audience he ilked when he stepped forth to give the Athenians his idea of philosophy and religion.

Olavslandalecander: Was born in St. Paul, Neb,, February 26, 1887, of a Democratic family, both Dolitically, as his name would indicate, and otherwise. His parents were “settlers” in Ne braska during the Indian times, and “Alex” was born in a hut, miles and rales from nowhere. His early extst- ence was one of hardship, he being of a race which could not shirk work of the hardest kind. Probably his won- derful physique was built by is boy- hood work, but at any rate when “Alex” first thought of baseball it was as a means of providing a vacation, not a living. In 1900 he heard of a chance to piteh for a professtonal club in Galesburg, Ill, and being offered enough to pay his expenses and haye a little over, he accepted. This pro- vided his start in the national pastine, and began the career of the man who now is ranked the premier pitcher of the country, and the reason pro and con for the success of the Phillies, He was drafted from Galesburg by In- dlanapolis in the autumn of 1900, but unfortunately for this club he was not even tried out, being shipped to Syra- cuse, of the New York State league, whilsh team sold him, Alexander, the greatest pitcher, to the Phillies in'1910 for $750. Somebody in Syracuse has been kicking himself ever since, for the first year with the Phillies Alex- ander won 28 games, and since then has been considered far the most val- ‘uable man in the club.

There is a new kind of sweater called the poncho, It's a straight piece of fine colored wool, with an oblong opening at the neck, each two selvages caught at the waistline under the arm, with an ornamental band.

This was to have been continued for ten Inches with a ribbed strip at the other end, but long before the band was half finished the wool had run out and a double quantity had to be got. Thus the band cost something more than a dollar merely for materials, not to mention the time, which of course was much greater for a novice than it would be for an experienced knit- ted. And when the band was com- plete It was heavy, unporous and renl- ly compared unfavorably with the commercial knit band, To Crochet Over Hairpin. Maybe if you have been doing needlework or crochet long enough you will remember an old-time vogue for crocheting over a hairpin to make a very effective beading or insertion. ‘This, together with many other old- time knitting and crocheting processes, is coming back into vogue. Tt can be done on a rather large wire halrpin, or if a larger beading is desired, a wire staple may be used. It Is quick work and requires absolute- ly no thought, being, once the chain is started, purely mechanteal, Use cor- responding crochet thread and needle, according to the list In some crochet book or the advice of your saleswoman at the art needlework shop, Knot the thread with a loop which you pull over the head of the hairpin, keeping the knot in back of the pin, the thread from the ball running up- ward. Now with your crochet needle grasp the thread from the ball, insert ing the needle from the front of the hairpin and under the knot at the back. Bring the thread upward and make a chain by grasping the thread from the back again but on top of the loop. Now turn your hairpin from right to left, leaving the needle in the chain but carrying the hook up over the rounded head of the hairpin or staple, The hook will then be In back of the bin between the pin and the thread. Now insert the hook through the pin to the front and pick up the loop on the left side of the pin, drawing the thread through from the back and then again through both stitches, on hook. You virtually make a single crochet through this loop. Turn the pin from right to left, thus bringing the hook to the near side of the pin again, Pick up the left loop again with a single crochet, ‘Turn the hairpin and repeat the process, When the work necumulates it 1s pushed down off the ends of the pin, until a sufficient length has been cro- cheted.

Bu GENEVIEVE ULMAR (Copyright, 1915, by W. G. Chapman.) "The last rose," announced Edna Brock and there was a shadow of regret in her tone. "Oh, what a beauty!" enthused Blanche Reed and added the final trophy of the denuded bush to the great bouquet Edna had patiently picked for her. "Why, you have hurt yourself." Edna had, indeed. She winced and paled slightly. The hand that had disengaged the last rose had been torn across the fingers with a long deep scratch. The blood flowed freely, but she wrapped the disfigured member in her handkerchief and sald lightly: "Oh, that is nothing—I am used to the thorns, dear." There was a deeper meaning to the words than shallow heedless Blanche Reed knew—no bitterness, but a certain spirit of resignation that for the moment sent a grave expression to the comely face of the speaker. "You see, the Aid society is very active since that handsome young Doctor Trevor came to Leeville. They say he is a rising man in his profession in the city," rattled on Blanche, "and we all have our caps set for him. He's rich, too. Thanks for the flowers, dear. Doctor Trevor gave me the name of one of his poor patients, so I am anxious to get her the flowers." Edna sat nursing her injured hand after the departure of her chattering walter Studiously Regarded a Bouquet of Flowers Lying on the Ground. companion. She was thinking of this young Dr. Willis Trevor who had come to Leeville to spend the summer, and recuperate from the strain of an extensive practice. Edna had been casually introduced to him. She was interested in his broad humanitarian ideas. Doctor Trevor seemed to be one of those restless mortals who was happy only when occupied. He gave his services free to the poor and had co-operated with local societies in advancing sanitary and philanthropical work. The vain, selfish motives of Blanche jarred on Edna. Then she sighed and bound up the wounded hand with a little quiver about the lips. "Always the thorns!" she murmured. So life had seemed to her. She appeared ever to be "the lamb of sacrifice" for others. She had given up an advanced education for the sake of a sister. Once wealthy and the family high in local social circles, her father and she herself had well-nigh beggared themselves to start a son and brother in business. The latter had lost the entire investment, and those who had helped him were forced to proceed thereafter on an economical basis. Edna tried not to miss the old social life. She had never loved yet. She felt her girlhood was going by with something missing out of it. It was an hour later when Edna, going down the street on an errand to a village store, paused and studiously regarded a bouquet of flowers lying on the ground at the edge of a field filled with boys playing ball. They were in the full blaze of the sun. "My flowers!" uttered Edna, fairly indignant, as if some cruel heedless person had deserted her dearest friends at the wayside. As she lifted them lovingly from the ground, however, a little fellow, a member of the ball-playing coterile, ran up to her. She recognized him as a brother of Miss Reed. "Oh, please! those are my flowers," he advised Edna—"that is, my sister asked me to take them to a sick girl. Yes, here is the card with the name on." Edna read the address and readily comprehended the situation. The flighty, unreliable Blanche had tired of her set task and had left its commission to a heedless junior. "I will deliver the flowers," promised Edna and went her way with that design in view. Within the hour Edna Brock forgot Blanche, the doctor and the thorns of life. All of its sweetness had come to her in full measure. She had delivered the flowers at a miserable hovel to find a little child of poverty struggling against insanity conditions and a burning fever. It was to her a privilege to serve, a joy to lift humanity from the dregs to the higher levels of hope and faith and comfort. It seems as though the sweet influ- ence of Edna had changed a prison into a palace. Twice that day she visited the little invalid. The one following she gathered up from her own little store and the donations of kindly neighbors various articles of utility and comfort in which the humble home was lacking. The third day as she entered the tenement room she came face to face with Doctor Trevor, just leaving. He greeted her with a brightening eye. In his quiet but earnest way he commanded her for the marvelous transformation she had made in the environment of the poor home and in the invalid. His heart warmed towards her and Edna felt a responding thrill. Once again she met the doctor. It was the day when the little child, singing happily, was able to sit up in bed, past all danger. All the time Edna had been compelled to keep the thorn-injured hand bandaged. It had pained her at times and looked red and swollen. Now that the strain of her nursing was over she noticed it more closely and realized that it was a poison or infection injury. She applied a soothing lotion. Blanche had invited her to an evening lawn party. Her hand pained her so greatly, however, that she phoned her friend that she would not be able to go. What was Edna's surprise about six o'clock when Doctor Trevor drove up in his automobile. "What is this I hear," he observed in his clever, pleasing way, "about an injured hand and no complaint to me, who must be your physician since you have been my friendly nurse? Dear, dear! you have neglected this, Miss Brock," he added, as Edna shyly showed him her hand. Doctor Trevor dressed the wounded member and told Edna he had been advised just in time. "You also need rest and diversion after your engrossing care of my little patient," he said. And then he suggested that, as she was not going to the lawn party, and as he did not care for the function, a moonlight run around the lake would delight him, and so it came about. Blanche Reed quizzed Edna industriously after learning of three of these auto trips that had taken place in one week. She upraided her for monopolizing this particular star of the village social life. But Edna was noncommittal, and only innocent, happy and contented. There came the day that called Doctor Trevor back to his duties in the city. Quite an ovation was given him that evening by Miss Reed and her coterie of special friends. Edna was not present at the function. She sat in the garden of the little home, feeling sure that the last good-by of Doctor Trevor would be for herself. He came swinging along in the mellow moonlight, cheery and hopeful. He took her hand, after he had spoken a few words. "Dear little hand!" he said, and kissed it reverentially—"bearing the thorns, that others may have the roses. Let it guide me in silent paths of duty that have made your life so sweet and true!" GOT TOO DEEP FOR MOLLY Seemed Easy at First to Answer Census Man's Question, But Difficulty Came Later. The front door bell rang, but Mrs. Murphy was scrubbing her kitchen floor and had no intention of letting that disturb her. "Molly! Molly!" she called, "answer that." Molly carefully placed the "image" she was dusting on the shelf, then opened the door to face the census man. "Mother in?" he asked. "No," lied Molly, judging from his general appearance that he must have something to sell. "Well, perhaps you'll do. How many children are there?" Molly calculated mentally. "Thirteen," she said, finally. "The oldest—name, age, and date of birth?" This was difficult, but Molly had lied and must see the thing through. "Mary, twenty-two years old January first," she guessed. "Yes; now the next." "Patsy, twenty, February 2," she guessed again. Then suddenly she saw her way clear. It was easy. "Till give them all to you," she said. "Joseph, eighteen, March 3; Kathleen, sixteen, April 4; Susie, fourteen, May 5." And so she joyfully pursued her course, dropping two years and adding one month and one day to the date at each name, until she reached "Tom, age two, November 11." She bit her lips. There were two children left, without ages! "And?" the census man questioned, with a smile, as he counted the eleven names. "Oh," said Molly, "I forgot; two of us are dead." When the census man called the next day, Mrs. Murphy herself answered the ring. A Blunder. It was bathing time and from the bedroom of twin boys came the sound of hearty laughter and loud crying. Their father went up to find the cause. "What's the matter up here?" he inquired. The laughing twin pointed to his weeping brother. "Nothing," he giggled; "only nurse has given Alexander two baths and hasn't given me any at all." Prussians and Germans. Many authorities hold that the original Prussians were not of the same breed of the old, or South, Germans, being of the Hunnish or Mongolian stock. The kinship of the English, Dutch, Scandinavian and South German is indisputable, but the Prussians (ethnologically speaking) are not included in the Teutonic circle. They are, to say the least, originally of no Teutonic blood. Value Doubled. The yearly value of agricultural productions of the United States has doubled in the last 15 years; in the same period the population of the country has increased one-third. THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1916 Great Fiction Becomes Great Fact Did you ever read Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, the story about a submarine, which Jules Verne wrote forty odd years ago? The vessel he described, "Nautilus," is almost a counterpart of the German merchant submarine, "Deutschland," which came to this country several weeks ago OR weeks the German undersea boat Deutschland occupied the first page of every newspaper in the land, to the exclusion of the Mexican problem and a considerable part of the European war news. Her journey across the ocean from Bremen, her avoidance of the English and French war vessels and her theatrical disclosure of her identity at Cape Charles constituted the sensation of a century. Mr. Charles P. Tower of the New York Tribune has written an article comparing the Deutschland with the Nautilus, the submarine boat of imagination which Jules Verne, the great French novelist, described in "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea," published about 45 years ago. No doubt many of you have read the story. It is a great boy's book, like "Tom Sawyer" or Fenimore Cooper's "Leather Stocking Tales." Mr. Tower assumes that the Nautilus was never destroyed, and that the Deutschland is the old boat of fiction rebuilt. He says: "But the sensation will be the greater when it becomes generally known that the boat is not of German design or build; that she is really the original submarine boat Nautilus, designed by that wonderfully skillful naval architect, engineer and scientist-at-large, Jules Verne, built and navigated over and under many seas by Captain Nemo, and for many years supposed to have been engulfed in the whirlpool between the islands of Faroe and Lofoten, off the coast of Norway, in June, 1868; the same vessel, rebuilt in some degree and refitted in a German ship yard, but the Nautilus, as truly as she was the Nautilus when she was launched, in 1865 or 1866. "It has been only a supposition that the boat was lost in the whirlpool, based on the fact that no survivors of her crew, excepting Mr. Aronnax, who wrote the log on board the vessel on her sensational and somewhat erratic voyage of 'Twenty Thousand Launders Under the Sea,' and his two personal associates, Conseil and Neel Land, never appeared in public or ever (old anything to the contrary. But it will be remembered that Mr. Aronnax declared in his edition of the log, which was published in 1873, that he did not positively know whether the boat was lost or not. 'What has become of the Nautilus?' he asks. 'Did it resist the pressure of the maelstrom? Does Captain Nemo still live?

The power plant is new in part, and in part renewed. Mr. Verne designed the Nautilus to be driven by electric power generated by primary batteries, something that would be out of the question today, but possible in the case of the Nautilus, because her owner was a man of enormous wealth and because he had discovered an inexhaustible source of supply of the materials required to renew his batteries. "The primary battery was the only available means of providing power for underwater propulsion, as the Diesel motor, now in use on all submarine vessels as a power plant for use on the surface and for generating electricity for power to be used under water, had not been developed. In fact, neither the Germans nor anyone else made any considerable use of the Diesel principle of motor construction until the Diesel patents had expired. Besides, Mr. Verne had no dynamos with which to translate the power produced by motors into electricity, although he had the essential principle in the electric motors with which he turned his propeller.

Upon the slightest pretext—often indeed with no excuse at all—the feudal baron would sally forth from his stronghold in order to carry fire and sword into the territories of some neighboring chief, "This abuse," says Cox in his 'History of the House of Austrin,' 'was carried to so great an extent that not only sovereigns and states engaged in hostilities from interest or revenge, but the lesser barons, and even associations of tradesmen and domestics, sent defiances to each other on the F PRIVATE WARS WERE MANY "Of the many privileges conferred on the nobles of Europe by the feudal system, none was more jealously guarded or more frequently exercised than the right of waging private war." Dr. MacMillan writes in the Scottish Review. "This lawless custom was the cause of untold misery, barbarity, THE DEUTSCHLAND DEPARTING FOR GERMANY UNDERWOOD M UNDERWOOD DEUTSCHLAND GERMAN CARTAR PAUL KOFNIG CAPTAIN PAIL KOENG which the Nautilus in her early days did not have. If she had been equipped with periscopes in 1866 and 1867, it is probable that she would not have been in collision with the Columbus, the Shannon, the Helvetia and other ocean steamships during those years, much to the annoyance of their owners and the mystification of the public. Also, the Nautilus in her relincaction has wireless telegraph equipment, something which she did not in her early days, because Marconi had not then been born. For the rest of it, the Nautilus is the Nautilus still. "A very full description of the Nautilus is contained in the log as written up by Mr. Aronnax from the dictation of Captain Nemo. He mentions that the captain showed him the plans, sections and elevation of the vessel; doubtless the original drawings made by Mr. Verne, or perhaps tracings of the originals. If they had been blue prints, Mr. Aronnax would doubtless have spoken of them as such; but, of course, they were not, as blue prints were not in use in those days. The captain went on: "A very full description of the Nautilus is contained in the log as written up by Mr. Aronnax from the dictation of Captain Nemo.

Aronnax, are the several dimensions of the boat. It is an elongated cylinder with conical ends. It is very like a cigar in shape, a shape already adopted in London in several constructions of the same sort. The length of this cylinder, from stem to stern, is exactly 232 feet and its maximum breadth is 26 feet. It is not built quite like your long-voyage steamers, but its lines are sufficiently long and its curves prolonged enough to allow the water to slide off easily and impose no obstacle to its passage "When the Nautilus is afloat one-tenth is out of the water. Now, if I have made reservoirs of a size equal to this tenth, and if I fill them with water, the boat, weighing then 1,507 tons, will be completely immersed. These reservoirs are in the lower part of the Nautilus. I turn on taps and they fill, and the vessel sinks. "Also, when I have a mind to visit the depths of the ocean, I make use of slower but not less infallible means. To steer this boat, following a horizontal plan, I use an ordinary rudder fixed on the back of the sternpost, and with one wheel and some tackle to steer by. But I can also make the Nautilus rise and sink, and sink and rise, by a vertical movement by means of two inclined planes fastened to its sides, opposite the center of flotation, planes that move by powerful levers from the interior. If the planes are kept parallel with boat it moves horizontally. If slanted, the Nautilus, according to this inclination and under the influence of the screw, either sinks diagonally or rises diagonally as it suits me." "Set aside the obvious errors in the log or in the translation, and the description of the Nautilus might as readily pass for that of the so-called Deutschland as any that have been printed. Look it over in detail. The Nautilus was 223 feet long; the length of the undersea boat at Baltimore was "guessed" at anything from 200 and some odd feet to 300 feet. Of course, as she has been rebuilt, the boat may have been lengthened, to suit modern ideas. "But the Nautilus had a conning tower, in place of the present superstructure.

Both boats—or, rather, the same boat in the two periods of her career—were—was—is—fitted up in some degree of luxury. Listen to what Mr. Aronnax says about a room into which Captain Nemo conducted him: "It was a library. High pieces of furniture supported upon their wide shelves a great number of books. The electric light flooded everything. It was shed from four unpolished globes, half sunk in the ceiling.' And again, in speaking of the saloon, filled with treasures of art beyond price, Mr. Aronax mentions the organ, of which he says later in the chronicle: 'At that moment I heard the distant strains of the organ, a sad harmony to an indefinable chant, the wall of a soul longing to break these earthly bonds."

The Organ on the Nautilus. "One may not approve of Captain Nemo's taste in music; some of us may prefer the 'run of mill' music which one may have with a phonograph and a selection of records made haphazard; but he was musical, at all events, and had provided himself with means with which to gratify his taste. But the organ has given way to a phonograph, with which the crew of the boat entertained themselves on the way across or under the Atlantic. And when they were 'full up' on music there was the library, with fewer books than that of old, but with Shakespeare as a foundation of literary satisfaction.

How was the food of the crew of the Nautilus cooked? By electricity. Says Mr. Aronnax: Then a door opened into a kitchen nine feet long, situated between the large storerooms. There electricity, better than gas itself, did all the cooking. The streams under the furnaces gave out to the sponges of platina a heat which was regularly kept up and distributed. They also heated a distilling apparatus, which by evaporation furnished excellent drinkable water. How was the 'grub' of the crew of the so-called Deutschland cooked? By electricity, said Captain Koenig, although he did not give a description of the cooking apparatus in anything like as full a detail as does Mr. Aronnax of that of the Nautilus. The boat that Captain Koenig commanded was furnished with all the comforts of home, according to the one man who was aboard of her in any other than an official capacity, and who does not consider himself held to secrecy.

HOMETOWN HELPS PROPER PLANNING OF CITIES Method Has a Deeper Significance Than the Mere Laying Out of Human Dwelling Places. "I am very glad to hear that among the objects of the American Civic association is that of getting rid of the impression that city planning has mainly to do with the large cities of hundreds of thousands of inhabitants, and indeed that is not solely concerned with these cities, but that one of the main functions of city planning is to deal with the small town and even with the small village community," so said Mr. Thomas Adams, the well-known English town planning expert, now civic adviser to the commission of conservation of Canada, in opening an address at the convention of the American Civic association on the subject, "The Economic Basis of City Planning." Continuing, Mr. Adams said: "Town planning does not deal with the beautification of the town but town planning. I should rather like to put it, includes the embellishment of the external features of the town both in regard to its public buildings and in regard to its transportation. But these matters are only part of what should be properly regarded as city planning. And when we come to analyze the fundamental things in city life we find that really we ought not to begin with the embellishment or with the beautiful in the city, but that after the route of civil life, the two things that matter are the industrial and the residential; are the factories and home life. You want not only to look forward for the next thirty, forty, or fifty years in regard to your park systems, but you want to make sure that in the next forty, fifty or sixty years every person who builds a new home will be secured against disease which may be created by anything that can be prevented. You want to make sure that the conditions shall be healthy in regard to housing as well as in regard to the general civic aspect of the city." IS RIGHT TO ANNOY SACRED2 How Jersey City Courts, by a Receipt Decision, Allow Property Owners to Exalt Ugliness. The sacred right of the property holder to make himself a public nuisance is reaffirmed by the decision of the New Jersey supreme court, says the New York Tribune. It appears that this right was menaced by a statute which made it unlawful to disfigure with advertisements the Pallads along the Hudson. The statute is found to be unconstitutional on the ground that the legislator may deprive the owner of the right to use his land for such purpose only when the signs are a menace to public health or morals. This kind of individual liberty is one of the unfortunate limitations under which our whole system labors. The public has other interests to conserve besides those of health, safety and morality. It is a mark of indifference to beauty bordering on barbarism that esthetic considerations receive so little recognition in the eye of the law. The zealousness with which the courts are bound to protect the individual in the use of that which is his own permits the defacing of our scenes of natural beauty with every conceivable form of hideousness. Something more than a right of property is invaded when one individual may ruin for millions of people the beauty of a piece of nature's handiwork. Don'ts for Homebuilders If you want to prevent trouble and inconvenience after you have moved into the new home, observe these "don'ts" while building: Don't cut down any trees on the building site until you are ready to begin building, and then only enough to provide room for the house. This prevents unnecessary sacrifice, and after the house has been lived in for a while, one can easily determine what others must go. Don't, with a white interior trim, have other than quartered white oak floors. Don't when finishing the interior of the new house be unmindful of the quality of the paint used thereon. Paint serves two ends, it protects and improves the appearance of the house, and the one ingredient in its composition necessary to the fulfilment of this purpose is zinc. For City Improvements The College of Forestry connected with Syracuse university has examined and outlined methods of improvement for public shade trees in 26 cities and towns in the state of New York. It has been found that in the cities there are 20,000 miles of streets of a character capable of sustaining a growth of 5,000,000 shade trees which can be made worth $100,000,000 in increased property value. Buffalo is thoroughly alive to the possibilities of the situation and spends annually about $75,000 for the planting and conservation of shade trees along its public streets. Praising Poverty. When a man argues from his personal experience that poverty has made him what he is, he erects on a somewhat wobbly basis a somewhat questionable idol.

Notes Now that the convention season is over, all departments, boys, physical and religious, have cleared decks for the incoming fall and winter work. Among the delegates to the National Baptist Convention was Rev. J. C. Fields of Nashville, Tenn., a member of the National Baptist Publishing Board, who made the Y. M. C. A. building his headquarters. On leaving for home, he was asked what he thought of the Kansas City Association. He replied, "All my people will hear for the next four Sundays will be a Y. M. C. A. building for Nashville." The religious work committee announces for the benefit of the many inquirers the opening of the men's Sunday meetings the first Sunday in October. Bible classes will open sooner this year than usual, the last week of September. A larger number of men and boys are expected to receive certificates of efficiency in Bible work this year than last from the Y. M. C. A. International Committee of New York City. LADIES LISTEN!
