The Kansas City Sun Walter S. Dickey for United States Senator HON. CHAS. H. CALLOWAY, One of Kansas City's Brilliant Attorneys. (By Beni, V. Longdon.) We can distinguish four ways, all of them important in which questions may be used; but we will take the use of questions as an aid to memory as being appropriate and the most familiar of the four kinds of questioning. And it is generally agreed that its value lies in the fact that a well chosen series of questions may touch every desired point, bringing each in turn into prominence and so impressing it upon the memory. Memory is easily first among the sacred faculties of the soul. It may well fill us with awe that we were created with the power to love, to forgive, to will, to choose, to anticipate; but most of all, to remember. Yet we need constant reminders of the best, the highest, the holiest things in life. They are much in danger of being marred and defaced in the daily scuffle and in a little while forgotten utterly. And this, "lest we forget," is precisely the main trouble with our race. We have forgotten; in the rush and stress of things we have almost forgotten our duty to the church, the school, the home, and our loyalty to our business and professional men. Do you subscribe for any of our weekly publications? The majority of us on the subscription list have gone to such lengths that we have simply forgotten that we are. You receive your paper all right, but where is the change? I recall the young Mrs. Smith, who discovered that her maid was strongly addicted to eating at all hours of the day. One day she ordered four pounds of veal for dinner. When the veal failed to appear on the table she questioned Bridget, who told her that the cat had eaten it. Mrs Smith placed the cat on the scales and found that it weighed exactly four pounds. "Well, Bridget," said she "here is the veal all right, but where is the cat?" ROSEDALE. KANSAS.

Are Your Relatives and Friends Getting It? VOLUME IX. NUMBER 4. PROF. JACKSON'S TRIP. The Allensworth Literary and Industrial Club invited me to come to Los Angeles, Cal., to put on a play in the Trinity Auditorium, one of the leading play houses there, for the benefit of the Old Folks' Home. I went, and had 100 voices in a program of two parts; the first p atrconsisting of folk songs, organ and piano numbers, and the second part 100 voices in Coleridge Taylor's Hiwatha Wedding Feast dramatized. The stage setting including palm trees, pine trees, teepees and other Indian effects were loaned to us by the park commissioners of the city of Los Angeles. We sang at the first M. E. church, also to an audience of 2,000 people, and I played a large pipe organ in that church. I played the largest pipe or gan I ever played in my life; it had 86 stops, contained harps, chimes bells, orchestral effects and has one stop that sounds like a human voice. The people were very much surprised because there had never been a Negro PROF. ROBERT G.

I assisted with the music at Bishop Park's Conference, and gave a concert in Oakland, with 100 volces. The concert in Oakland was very successful. The people of California certainly know how to treat a visitor. They had dinner parties, ocean parties and automobile parties galore. While in Los Angeles I organized a Western University Club. We have sixteen students there. The purpose is going to be to give a scholarship to some worthy person every year. Mrs. Sallie Jackson played on our program at Los Angeles and took the house by storm. A number of the white people said they did not know we had such an efficient pianist in our race. Mr. Nelson C. Crews and Mr. George Love, while they were in California, certainly won the hearts of the people, and the people are still talking about them everywhere and they are screaming for them to come back. They say it has been a long time since they have had a man speak like Crews. R. G. JACKSON. EVERYBODY INVITED KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1916.

ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF A. M. E. CHURCHES CLOSE IN A BLAZE OF GLORY. Appointments Made by Bishop Parks Gives General Satisfaction to All. The 49th session of the California A. M. E. church closed in a blaze of the closing was indeed a fitting climax to one of the greatest conferences ever held on the Pacific Coast. On Sunday morning Bishop Parks preached a memorable sermon; one of those soul-stirring sermons, and as a result thereof, one of the greatest spiritual awakenings manifested itself that it has ever been the writer's lot to witness. Strong men and women wept and rose from their laces in the audience and came forth professing Jesus Christ as their Savior. There was upward of twenty who joined the church at this service.

We are entering, as I have intimated, upon a new economic era. We have behind us the driving force of patriotic sentiment. We must have a dominant sense of unity. That sentiment must express itself in unswerving loyalty; and through its government it must express itself in maintaining the rights of American citizens on land and sea in every part of the world. We cannot progress as a nation without a national sentiment that prizes American citizenship and conserves all the rights that pertain to American citizenship. We must have that indomitable spirit that gave us our country, that preserves our country, if in the days of the troubled twentieth century, we hold an honored place among the nations of the world.

One of the most inspiring, enthusiastic and intellectual services was held at St. Stephen's Baptist church Sunday evening, September 17. In the presence of the committee appointed by Conroe Normal and Industrial college to confer the degree of honor, Rev. Dr. J. W. Hurse graced his pulpit in the usual manner, soliciting the prayers of his people, and also of his distinguished guests, if they felt so disposed, and delivered one of the most able sermons in the history of his pastorate. It was indeed an evening of long remembrance to the members and friends of St. Stephen's Baptist church, and as the hour was growing late, time would not permit us to express our thankfulness. We are indeed proud of our pastor, whom we feel is a God-sent blessing to our people, and we realize that we have not words to form in sentences that will adequately express our gratitude. We can only look at him as a lily of the valley. How he grows! We, the officers and members and friends of St. Stephen's Baptist church, extend to President Dr. David Abner of Conroe Normal and Industrial College our sincere appreciation for the high honor bestowed upon our pastor, Rev. J. W. Hurse. We pray that his life may be full of sunshine and that he may live long and give high honors to other struggling and deserving men who are trying to make their mark in life. To the noted leaders in our city who conferred this degree we extend to you our appreciation and will always well come you in our midst, as you always bring sunshine and intelligence in our church.

Taylor, secretary of the colored men's branch of the Young Men's. Christian association, whose resignation was tendered some time ago, will become secretary of the New York branch, and left August 20 to take up his work there. F. E. DeFrantz, who has been physical director of the colored branch for the last three years, has been appointed acting secretary until the position can be filled permanently, reports the Indianapolis News. The branch in New York is in Fifty-third street and the property is valued at $75,000. The board of management recently bought a lot in One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, and work on a $110,000 building will be begun in November. Mr. Taylor's resignation has been deeply regretted by those interested in the success of the Y. M. C. A. branch here. He came here in 1905 when the association had its headquarters in rented property in North California street, and there were only 17 members. Doctor Hummons was president of the board of management when Mr. Taylor came here. During the 11 years Mr. Taylor has been secretary the membership reached 1,000. Mr. Taylor said he attributes much of the success of the association to the interest of George L. Knox, now president of the board of management. In speaking of the association here three years ago when the new building was dedicated, Booker T. Washington said its work was not surpassed by that of any like organization he knew of, and that it was filling one of the greatest needs in the community life of the city. Mr. Taylor said the relations of the Central Y. M. C. A. and the colored men's branch always have been friendly, and that too much cannot be said of the interest of A. H. Godard, secretary, whose advice has always been available and whose influence has been exerted in the interest of the colored work whenever it was needed. Mr. Taylor was born and reared in London, Canada, and for six years before coming to this city was a letter carrier there. He attended the first meeting called for boys by the Central association in London, and held many responsible positions in the boys' department, later becoming a member of the board of directors. --- The world's fastest runner will never race again, if physicians who are attending him are correct. Howard P. Drew, the colored athlete, who holds the world's record of 9 3-5 seconds for 100 yards and has equaled the mark of 21 1-5 seconds for 220 yards, is suffering from a stroke of paralysis at Los Angeles. His left side is affected and it was announced that he may recover partially, but that the affliction is certain to bar him from fast competition for the rest of his life. Drew is a Springfield, Mass., boy and it was as a member of the high school track team of that city that he first gained fame. He was on the American team at the Stockholm Olympic contests and has retained the national championship for years. Drew completed in the Lake Front Olympic games at Chicago, and defeated the best of the athletes in that city. For the past two years he has made his home on the coast, competing for a California school. He is married and has a family. Attention has been called before to the wide employment of electric pocket lamps by the fighting men of Europe. According to a recent statement in the Daily Mail, it is learned that two London firms have produced between them no less than 2,000,000 batteries during the last year. Prior to the war only about 50,000 such batteries were made in the entire United Kingdom. The annual encyclopedia of Negro progress issued at Tuskegee contains a list of towns and settlements in the United States populated and governed almost entirely by negroes. Most of these towns are small. Buxton, In., with 5,000 population, 1,000 of whom are whites, being the largest, and Boley, Okla., the next. It will be interesting to witness the results of this experiment. California has several fine sea-level highways. They skirt the shore of the Pacific and are built of concrete.

Yorkshire cooks, for instance, seemed to fling about dozens of eggs and pints of cream. A favorite pie to send to one's friend at Christmas was made like this: Take a turkey and bone it; take a goose and bone it, and so on with a chicken, a pheasant, a partridge, a pigeon, and a lark; then put the lark in the pigeon, the pigeon in the partridge, the partridge in the pheasant, the pheasant in the chicken, the chicken in the The public farewell tendered by the committee of management of the colored Y. M. C. A., in the association rooms, in honor of Thomas E. Taylor, secretary who left for New York, where he is to become head of the New York branch, was evidence of the high regard in which Taylor is held by the colored citizens. The occasion was also a welcome to F. E. DeFrantz, former physical director, who is becoming acting secretary of the work there. Dr. J. H. Ward, for many years chairman of the membership committee, was master of ceremonies. A number of white and colored citizens participated in the program, all of whom praised Taylor for his self-sacrificing spirit, his courage, faith and optimism. The belief was expressed that few men could have accomplished what Taylor had in the 11 years he has been connected with the colored branch. E. E. Stacy, state secretary of the Y. M. C. A., the first speaker on the program, spoke in the highest terms of what Taylor had accomplished in the state, referring to him as a pioneer in the Y. M. C. A. movement among the colored people of Indiana. He spoke of the genuine friendship existing between Taylor and all the Y. M. C. A. workers, how his enthusiasm and faith in the future of the colored branch had inspired workers of the central association and the field of workers to a larger interest in the success of the colored work.-Indianapolis News. The 1916-1917 "Negro Year-Book" estimates that the colored race is now raising $1,500,000 yearly in this country for the support of schools—most of this probably going to denominational colleges and academies, but much being expended in rural districts upon primary schools. The Rosenwald fund for building country schoolhouses, for example, offers contributions only to communities which have themselves raised an equal amount. For private and higher schools for the Negro in 1914-15, the United States, the states and the cities spent $703,356. For colored public schools the 16 former slave states, the District of Columbia and Oklahoma spent $10,655,000, which is a little more than one-ninth the amount expended for white public schools. Taking all schools and the country as a whole, to Negro education was given less than $15,000,000—as against nearly $220,000,000 spent for education of the whites. The combined budget of four or five of our largest universities would equal the amount spent on the separate education of our Negro population! The spectacle of a noone too prosperous Negro population giving (for it) large sums ought to inspire more generosity among the whites—New York Post.

CHICKEN WITH CHEESE SAUCE New Way of Preparing Always Popular Dinner or Luncheon Dish Is Well Worth Trying. When you wish to serve chicken in a novel way, try boiled chicken with cheese cream sauce. Take a chicken trussed for boiling; rub it over with lemon juice; place a piece of silted fat bacon on the breast, tie it on; wrap the chicken in a well-buttered cloth, put it into a stewpan with sufficient boiling water to cover, with three or four sliced onlons, a bunch of herbs, about 12 black and white peppercorns, and enough salt to season it; bring to the boil, and simmer for 40 to 60 minutes, according to the size of the fowl. Then take up, remove the string and paper and dish up on a bed of steamed rice. Garnish with parsley and button mushrooms; serve the chicken for dinner while hot with cheese cream sauce. Cheese Cream Sauce.—Take four ounces of good Swiss cheese, cut it up into very fine slices, put into a stewpan with half a cupful of cream and one-half a cupful of $ _{g} $ bechamel sauce and a dust of paprika pepper; stir these ingredients over the fire until they melt, then use.

Orange Fritters. Orange fritters are made in this way: Peel the oranges and divide into segments. Remove inside skin and seeds, but do not break the segments. Soak in the liquid from maraschino cherries in which orange rind has been grated, drain, dip in the thick fritter batter, and brown. Peaches can be made into fritters in the same way.

In Woman's Realm Suggestion for Dainty and Useful Frock, Appropriate for Any Occasion—Charmuse or Panne Velvet the Best Materials to Be Employed—Three Styles That Are Among the Best of the New Hats. Here is a frock for afternoon wear which will give its owners the sense of being well and appropriately dressed for many occasions. It is made of one of the soft weaves in silk or satin which are christened with new names occasionally, for the sake of variety.

Individuals may wear spring hats trimmed with cherries and early summer hats trimmed with currants late in the season, but no respectable dealer would show them. They must appear in season, although they may exceed nature in color and design. A rather --- here. They have been chosen from among many others that are destined to add zest to life for the younger women during the coming winter. Two of these hats are broad-brimmed, dignified and picturesque shapes, and the third is a moderately small jaunty affair. The hat to the left is of gray velvet faced with rose crepe and has a crown covered by rows of chenille of the same shade of gray as the velvet. The brim is wide and droops a little. It is trimmed with a flat rose made of embroidery in dark red rose shades. There is a single embroidered leaf and a long and slender stem of chenille that rests on the brim. The small hat at the right is in pur- I ple velvet and is shown in other colors. It has a pert bow perched on the brim near its edge, finished with a long pointed end. The big hat at the bottom of the picture is of white hatters' plush faced with velvet in the color of moleskin. There is a heavy chenille lattice work about the side crown, in the same color as the facing, and three little ostrich tips, also in taupe, are perched at the back as if to draw attention to the lift in the brim. A small painted apple of velvet is set in two velvet leaves at the right front. No color takes precedence over taupe, which is another name for mole, this season, and moleskin has outdistanced other furs, in the estimation of milliners, anyway.

It is said that one De Villiers, a Boer, was the man to introduce hats among the South African natives, and that profit, not philanthropy, was his motive. It appears that, chancing to come across a consignment of damaged hats in Port Elizabeth, which were offered for a mere song, De Villiers bought the whole lot, packed them away in his wagon and started for Kaffirland. When he reached Tembuland he unloaded his stock, opened his kegs of liquor, without which no trade was made at that time, and began business. But he found his venture likely to prove an unprofitable one. The natives did not want hats; they wanted blankets and beads and looking glasses, and, above all, liquor, but they looked askance at hats. Then a bright idea came to De Villiers. He wanted to introduce those hats. His simple expedient was to refuse to sell anything to a Kaffir unless he bought a hat also. The Kaffirs wanted his goods, so they bought the hats. When a Kaffir buys anything, he feels bound to make use of it. The natives, therefore, donned their headgear and returned to their kraals. Now appeared the brilliancy of the trader's idea. Fashion rules the world. It is as strong in Africa as in America, and when those who stayed at home saw the travelers return in all the glory of this strange covering they felt behindhand and old fashioned. Their desire to possess the latest thing in hats became intense. They paid De Viliers a visit, and his stock no longer hung heavy on his hands. The hats were soon sold. Seismographs to Find Batteries Seismographs to Find Batteries. Among the many things to which science has turned its attention and abilities since the beginning of the European war, none, perhaps, has been of greater importance than the development of some means by which men in the trenches could locate with fair accuracy the position of an opposing battery or group of machine guns. This matter has been worked on in many ways, but the nearest science ever came to solving the proposition was the use of strong glasses with the aid of observation balloons and aeroplanes. Now, however, a new development has been announced, in which the seismograph, long known as an earthquake detector, is made use of. It is declared to be possible to tell from the shock of the gunfire just how large the guns are, what their distance away is, and the exact direction in which they lie. A practiced eye, it is claimed, can tell not only these points, but can distinguish between the shock of firing and the shock of a missile striking the ground, and also is able to determine just how many guns compose any battery that may be in action. Grandmother Has Come Back. For every summer, stretching back through the decades, always and always there has been a new crop of summer girls with each succeeding summer! The 1916 girl is not like unto the 1915 girl, and, again, the 1917 girl will be different from the 1916 girl. This last is in the nature of prophecy, but it is safe and sure prophecy. They differ, these successive outputs of summer girls, but in a way that is less than skin deep. It is all in the clothes and the way of coiffing the hair, according to a veracious masculine observer who bases his conclusions upon a close range inspection of 20 crops of summer girls. And even in the matter of clothes and hair arrangement the summer girl simply reverts to an antique idea. The hoopskirt—the expanded crinoline—is the up-to-date idea, but also it is a renunciation of a period back in the last century. When grandmother was a summer girl she was a hoopskirt girl; also she colffed her hair carefully down over her ears. Grandmother has simply come back and she is just as sprightly and lovely as she was fifty years ago.-Baltimore American. Meudon in War Time Meudon, the gay Meudon of trysts and moonlight promenades, has been transformed into a military camp. The station platform is crowded with unformed soldiers of all branches; men on furlough in their suits of faded blue like dirty water, showing with pride holes torn in their coats by rile balls, convalescents wearing the old red pantloons, used only by those behind the fighting line, often with one leg folded up; zouaves biggy trousers, formerly blood white, have now changed to an earth color; Belgians in long brown coats, who never smile, and British Tommies spick and span as if they had just stepped from a bandbox. The women, in passing, glance at the war crosses and smile.-Mme, Bernardini-Sjoestedt, in Cartoons Magazine. From on High. There has been contrived an aeroplane camera which takes small photographs like the films used in moving picture machines. It is strictly automatic in its action; one pull of a cord sets the shutter, makes the exposure, winds up the previous exposure, and registers the number of the photograph. As many as 750 pictures may be made without recharging, and any number of these may be withdrawn for development. Question of Adjectives Choice of adjectives is largely a matter of proportion.

(Copyright 1915, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 24 READING LESSON-11 Cor. 4:1-5:4 GOLDEN TEXT-Wd look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal-11 Cor. 4:12 A map is essential to an understanding of Paul's labors and adventures—especially a present-day map, with its modern names of the places which he visited. It should be used in teaching this lesson, and New Testament history generally. It will cause the lessons to relate themselves more closely to the world as we now know it. During the past quarter they have extended over a period of about seven years, from approximately A. D. 50 to 57, end are all centered about the life and teaching of Paul. It is difficult to attempt a logical review. A number of lessons have been introduced from the letters of Paul, which are not chronological in the development of the church. It might be well, perhaps, to consider first the leading events in the life of Paul, and second the prominent characteristics of Paul's life as we have had them presented to us, and also to consider six of the cities in which Paul founded churches in Europe, studying their modern names and conditions and looking into the difficulties and dangers which he encountered. In Lesson One we have the record of Paul's untiring activity, and his persistent use of the Scriptures. Every one of his sermons was confirmed by the word of God. Lesson Two presents his interest in those who were converted in his ministry; also a suggestion as to his unceasing prayerfulness on their behalf. Lesson Three presents his tact and wisdom in preaching the Risen Christ, and his emphasis upon the need of repentance. Lesson Four gives a suggestion of his untiring activity in the midst of great discouragement and in the fact of bitter apposition. Lesson Five reveals his persistent determination to know and to preach nothing save Jesus Christ and him crucified. Lesson Six is Paul's panegyric on love as the supreme gift. Lesson Seven is an exposition of the duty and blessedness of cheerful giving. In it is given a new beatitude of Jesus, "It is more blessed to give than to receive," which is nowhere else recorded. Lesson Eight, another suggestion as to his courage. Lesson Nine emphasizes humility, compassionate love and a fearless declaration of the whole counsel of God. Lesson Ten presents his forgetfulness of himself and his eagerness to preach Christ even when threatened by an unrestrained mob. Lesson Twelve again presents his forgetfulness of himself, and his eager seizing of every possible opportunity to preach the Lord Jesus. Turning to the cities that Paul visited, we first encounter Philippi (now in ruins). This is the first city in Europe where there was a Christian church, and it was one which Paul especially loved. Though he was driven from it by a mob, and escaped by means of an angel, yet his letter to that church is a revelation of his feeling toward his first European congregation. The thessalonica, the modern Salonikil in Macedonia, formerly belonged to the Turkish empire in Europe. Here Paul founded a church, consisting of Jews and Greeks. Paul is accused of turning the world upside down, and teaching Jesus to be the Christian's king. For this he was accused of treason against Rome. Two epistles were written to the church in which he does not record any fault-finding. This church has been called the "Church Beautiful." Athens was then, as now, the chief city of Greece, and one of the three most renowned cities in the history of the world. Paul's famous address on Mars hill was treated with great indifference. His stay was short, and never afterwards do we find him showing forth his learning, but ever after he expresses his determination to know nothing save "Jesus Christ and Him crucified." (I. Cor. 2:1, 2). Corinth was a great commercial city. At present the original site is in ruins, but the new Corinth has been built three miles away, and is today a city of approximately 15,000 population. Paul spent a year and a half here, preaching and teaching, and supplemented this with a period of three months of service. It was a worldly and wicked city, and yet Paul here founded his largest church, converted from heathenism. Paul has written some of the wisest, most glorious and heavenly and at the same time necessary truths that have ever come from the pen of man to this church in Corinth. It is the great treatise upon church government. Ephesus was in the province of Asia (in Asia Minor) and is now in ruins, although a small village is near by. In this city Paul formed a church, and here he worked for nearly three years. During this time we have the story of the burning of the books of magic, of the silver shrine of Diana, and of the Ephesian riot which compelled Paul to leave the city. Paul afterwards revisited the churches he had founded in Europe and about 62 A. D. wrote a letter to the Ephebian churches, some six years after he left them, and while he was a prisoner in Rome. The journey to Jerusalem, starting from Philippi (now in ruins) where Luke joined Paul with the Gentile church's collection for the poor, is the concluding portion of our lesson. Be cheerful and seek not external help nor the tranquillity which others give.—Marcus Aurelius. WASHINGTON GOSSIP French Remains the Menu Language of Washington FRENCH will remain the language of Washington menu cards.

"Jamais, jamais," which in the words of the language attacked means "Never, never." Inventor Proposes National Emblem of 13 Balls Inventor Proposes National Emblem of 13 Balls WASHINGTON.—At last the number of 13 is to be shown to the world in its true light. All this argument about it being unlucky is "bosh," according to R. S. Gibson, who is organizing a class of students in Washington to figure these stones." "That picture," he said, "shows you what you will find in the cells of the human body, and in all the planets and the stars. "Take 12 perfect spheres of equal size and group them around a thirteenth so they will all touch, and you have a perfect symmetrical group. That is a discovery of my own, and I believe it can be worked out to be worth some money." The inventor's idea is that if he can get several people to study his discovery, one of them is likely to get the idea that will be worth the $100,000. "The principle of the 13 idea is basic." Gibson said. "Christ and the 12 apostles, 12 jurymen and a judge and the 13 original states are a few examples. "I have written President Wilson, Bryan, Roosevelt and others, trying to get them to adopt that cluster as a national emblem. It stands for the original states and at the same time is a perfect symmetrical group." Our Soldiers May Look Like the Knights of Old Our Soldiers May Look Like the Knights of Old ALL existing records concerning the types of breastplates, shields, helmets, and even suits of armor worn by the knights of the middle ages, are being closely studied by the ordinance bureau of the war department in an The other day, for example, the bureau had before it a working model of a coat of armor invented by an American. Its pattern was adopted from a type favored by the ancient Samurai of Japan. The breastplate was formed of a V-shaped shell of quarter-inch steel with $k$ padded lining. A mask of similar design with opening for the eyes was intended to be used to protect the face and head. Shoulder plates and epaulets of the same material completed the equipment. All known designs of helmets are likewise being studied in order to provide bullet-defying headgear for the men. Besides the designs in use at present in Europe—the solid-piece types used by the British and Germans and the sectional type used by the French—designs similar to those used by the Crusaders with neck-pieces and vizors are also being studied. The bureau is also at work on various types of hand grenades, although as far back as 1008 the army experts had devised a grenade which, it is thought, is as good as, if not better, than the kind in use in Europe. Crab Supply of the Capital City Is Diminishing WASHINGTON is famed as a "great place for crabs." Well may this be true, for the city lies within short distance of the principal crab fisheries of the Atlantic coast—those in Chesapeake bay. But the city's reputa- luxurious delicacy? The bureau of fisheries has been moved to act to prevent such a tragedy. One of its crab experts is now down in the Chesapeake bay region making a thorough study of the causes of the decline of the crab output. He is going from crab fishery to crab fishery studying crab life at first hand from every angle. Generally speaking, it is thought that the chief cause of the decreased supply is due to the very extensive fishing which has been carried on within the last few years around these shores. No attempt has ever been made to prepare for the future's output by such means of artificial propagation as scientific fishermen now use in regard to that other valuable crustacean, the lobster. Winter as well as summer has seen an uninterrupted pursuit of the hard-shelled crab; such persistent "crabbing" could not be without the effect which it is now beginning to show. Chesapeake bay during the summer months is crowded with fishermen, nets and crabs; it provides an unexcelled field for the study of the industry. Owing to the differences in the depths of the bay at different places, one can also observe the different methods followed by crab fishers. Familiar, indeed, to Washingtonians is the sportsman who spends a day at the beach, and, with his string or handline baited with meat, entices the crabs into his waiting dip net. But his returns are nearly always negligible, two dozen crabs being considered a good day's catch. Not so is the luck of the professional fisherman, who fishes for crabs and not for pleasure. His method is calculated to bring a greater return for a less expenditure of energy. This is the opinion of August F. Moeller, maître d'hôtel of the New Willard. "We have decided to be strictly neutral," said Moeller, with a twinkle in his eye and a decidedly Teutonic accent when questioned as to the proposed obviation of the French from the bill of fare. "Why, it would be just the same as asking the average English-speaking connoisseur to change his language," are many persons, those persons who a cafes, who would not know how to or menu card was supplanted by English.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1916 ENGLISH RULE IN GREEN ISLE Dates From Twelfth Century, When Strongbow Invaded Country to Assist King of Leinster. Visitors to the historical places and buildings of Ireland hear much talk of Strongbow. In the twelfth century, when Strongbow became famous, Ireland was divided into many small provinces, and each of these had its petty king. Dermot MacMurrough, who was king of the province of Leinster, was a very cruel and unpopular ruler, and he was so disliked and abused by his people and the neighboring rulers that he finally fled to England, where he begged King Henry II for help in subduing his enemies. But Henry remembered that there were many other kings in Ireland and he refused to side with MacMurrough, though he gave permission to any of his subjects who liked, to go to Ireland and aid the Leinster king. A company of barons, therefore, left their barren lands in South Wales and crossed over to Ireland to win themselves rich lands there where soil was fertile. At the head of this band of barons was Richard de Clare, earl of Pembroke, who was known as Strongbow. They landed at Waterford, which city these barons straightway captured. Strongbow made his claim even stronger by marrying the daughter of Dermot MacMurrough. Then, learning that Dublin was just then struggling to free itself from the rule of the Danes, Strongbow made all haste in that direction, and soon he had taken the city by storm. Since that first landing and conquest by Strongbow and the other barons the English have always held more or less power over Ireland. An old historian, named Cambrenis, gives us the following quint description of the warrior Strongbow: "The earl was somewhat ruddle and of sanguine complexion and freckle-faced, his eies gret, his face feminine, his voice small, and his necke little, but somewhat of a high stature. He was very liberal, courteous and gentle; what he could not compasse and bring to passe in died, he would win by good words and gentle speeches. In time of peace he was more readie to yield and obeite than to rule and beare swale. In all chances of warre, he was still one and the same manner of man, being neither dismid with adversite nor nuffed up with prosperite," a picture which hardly fits such a twelfth-century conqueror.—Christian Science Monitor. Poker Chip Material Found. Poker Chip Material Found. It has been several years since open gambling was allowed in Texas and other parts of the Southwest. Even poker-playing is becoming an almost lost art. As an evidence of the falling off in this one-time great national game, it may be stated that few people realize that there now exists an unprecedented shortage of poker chips, due to the war across the seas. The knowledge of this threatened crisis has caused a world-wide search to be made for the mineral known as barite, which enters largely into the manufacture of poker chips. In the days before the foreign war barite came chiefly from Austria. It is well known to mineralogists that the Liano region of Texas contains many rare and little-known metals. This fact caused a search for barite to be instituted, with the result that a large deposit of the metal has just been discovered In that district. The poker chip supply will soon be replenished from this new source of raw material. Barite is also used in the enameling of iron and steel, the manufacture of paints, the coating of linoleums and oilcloths and the adulteration of sugar. Three-Toed Horse Fossil. A well-preserved set of teeth and jawbone of an animal which Prof. J. C. Jones of the Nevada State university declares were the property of a three-toed horse of the Upper Miocene age have been unearthed in the Washoe valley, on the Pedroll ranch, by university engineers. Professor Jones says the horse probably roamed the wilds of Nevada some 3,000,000 years ago. He says the horses of that date were even smaller than the Shetlands of the present day, and are classified as the echippus. The specimens were found in a well which apparently penetrated a prehistoric lake bed. Teeth of mammoths, fossil leaves and other specimens of prehistoric ages have been found in wells on the Pedroll ranch. They are among the best in the fossil collection at the university, as they show clearly the age and classification to which they belong. Brace Up! "Brace up!"

MAGIC OF SURGICAL SCIENCE IS MAKING NEW MEN OF OLD Some Remarkable Instances Where Operations Have Practically Rebuilt Vital and Important Portions of the Human Body That Had Been Shot Away in the Battles—"Gas Gangrene" Is Surgeon's Worst Enemy. London.—The marvelous progress that has been made in recent times in surgical science is most impressively revealed by a journey to some of the larger military hospitals, made possible through the courtesy of Sir Alfred Keogh, director general of the army medical service. * In all the hospitals what the medical staff set above all is conservative surgery—that is to say, the saving of limbs in order that the patients may remain useful members of the community. Thus, at the Herbert hospital, at Shooter's Hill, there have been since the beginning of the war from three to four thousand operations, and Colonel Simpson, the officer in charge, declared that he did not believe there had been in all more than 25 primary amputations. The impression left by a tour of these hospitals upon the layman's mind is that outsiders have an utterly inadequate idea of the debt they owe to modern surgery at a time like the present. Day by day the surgeons are giving to the nation new men for old. They have embarked upon a great mission of hope among the nation's soldiers. They are doing more than would have been credible twenty years ago to rob war of its ultimate horror. Out of the hundreds of wonderful cases brought to one's notice during these visits it is only possible to describe a few that may be regarded as typical of this trade of mending soldiers. Take first the new nerve surgery. Here is a man with a bullet hole near his collar bone which severed the nerve controlling the muscles of the wrist. The result was "wrist drop" and a hand which until quite recently would have been regarded as incurably useless. The two ends of the severed nerve have been freed from what had already become no more than a scar, they have been remitted and there is every prospect that in less than a year the hand will be almost as good as ever. "As simple as tying up the two ends of a cut telephone wire," says the surgeon who operated. Amazing Nerve Cases. There are more remarkable nerve cases still. A man had part of the fleshy portion of his arm shot away, carrying with it four inches of the nerve necessary to control the hand movements. The surgeon rang up several hospitals on the telephone till he heard of what he wanted, the amputation that afternoon of a healthy limb. The limb happened, to be a leg, and it was amputated in the afternoon. No sooner was it cut off than four or five inches of practically living nerve were removed from the calf, placed in a saline bath and rushed by taxi to the other hospital. Here the patient was already under an anesthetic. The wound in his arm was opened with a lancet, the ends of the indispensable nerve quickly found and the circuit re-established, as it were, by means of the first patient's four inches of filament. Today the man is in a fair way of regaining the full use of his hand. Bone surgery on rather similar lines is more familiar, but hardly less surprising when you meet and talk to a man who converses with the aid of a lower jaw part of which was only a few weeks ago part of his right leg. It was mended with two and one-half inches of one of his shin bones. The shin has quite healed, and the hole will be completely filled with new bone before long, so accommodating is nature when treated with knowledge. Another patient is perfectly happy and prosperous with three inches of the fibula of his left leg neatly mortised in the humerus of his right arm. He, too, will finally suffer no loss of bone whatever. The variants of such operations are endless and only limited D CROSS TREATS ALL ALIKE The wounds of a captured German man during the British offensive in the SEES WAR'S END BY 1917 INTERNATIONAL PRINT SERVICE The wounds of a captured German being dressed by a British Red Cross man during the British offensive in the west. Underwriters at Lloyd's Quoting $31.50 Per Cent for Peace Policy to December 31. London.—Pence by the end of 1917. That at least is the impression of underwriters at Lloyd's, who are quoting 30 gunmen per cent, or $31.50 per cent in American currency, for a peace policy extending to December 31, 1917. In case of a policy covering the period to the end of the present year by the ingenuity and enterprise of each surgeon. Carpentry and Legs. Garpentry and Legs. Of remarkable examples of carpentry applied to broken limbs most hospitals have two or three, if not more, on hand. A young fellow was brought into the hospital with one leg shortened by five inches, owing to the ends of the broken bone overlapping. He seemed a hopeless cripple. The leg was rebroken under an anesthetic, an eighth of an inch cut off from each side of the fracture so as to secure a smooth joint, and a steel plate fastened on with six screws, precisely as one would mend the broken leg of a table. The plate and screws will remain in position as a permanent addition to the soldier's anatomy, for steel will not rust among the tissues. And the man has a leg practically as long and as straight as, and rather stronger than, it was intended to be by nature. Some of the most cruel wounds are those in the jaw, but even here what the skill and patience of the surgeon have been able to do is wonderful. One poor fellow who had been provided with a new roof to his mouth was one of the most cheerful of the patients. His comic songs are the delight of the ward. You cease to be amazed at any height of human skill or human courage after a few hours in any of these military hospitals. You know for certain then that man is unconquerable. Where the injury is to the upper part of the face, resulting in, say, the removal of the nose and one eye, magical results are being achieved in a southwestern district hospital by the provision of masks perfectly counterfeiting the lost section of the physiognomy. Lieut. Derwent Wood is the inventor of the plan. With the help of photographs of what a patient was like before being wounded he will make a false nose of silvered copper, artistically painted to match the surrounding complexion, which will so far defy detection as to enable the owner to go out into the world again without shrinking and play his old part in the affairs of men. A Remarkable Operation. Here is another remarkable case. Not long ago a wounded Guardsmans was brought into the Queen Alexandra hospital at Millbank, suffering from a shrapnel wound. Examination under the X-rays showed that a piece of metal as large as a halfpenny and much thicker had entered the breast and lodged in the region of the heart. It was, in fact, actually touching the heart and impeding its action. An operation was decided on, and the surgeon thrust his hand right into the opening and pulled out the piece of metal, which is preserved as a souvenir. There was a danger that during anesthesia the lungs would collapse, and therefore ether was pumped into them to keep them distended. That gallant Guardsmans is now out and about, and it is declared that he will not feel the slightest ill effects from his strange experience. In this hospital there is at present a Serbian officer who was wounded in his own country and brought to England for treatment. It was a case of severe injury to the jaw. Lieut. Sir Francis Farmer removed a piece of bone about two and a half inches long from the tibia of the patient, and, having carefully prepared a bed in which to place it, fixed it in the jaw. The leg is now healed and the patient can eat wonderfully well. But this refitting and, as it were, rebuilding of citizens is not enough. They must first be snatched from that progressive process of destruction associated with the dreaded word sepsis, that creeping death of the tissues which is the surgeon's most remorseless enemy. And here again one encounters the marvellous. In this war the variety of sepsis that an being dressed by a British Red Cross the west. the rate quoted is 85 guineas ($89.25) per cent, while if taken out for three months later a policy would rule 70 guineas ($73.50) per cent. The rate is 60 guineas ($63) to June 30, 1917, or 15 guineas ($15.75) per cent less if the time is extended to September of next year. It looks as though the late Lord Kitchener's estimate of thre years would prove correct or thereabouts. California has 10,057 factories, em- ploying more than 200,000 persons. has claimed more victims than any other is that known in doctor's slang as "gas gangrene." Gas gangrene is caused by the presence in a wound of certain types of bacillii classed as "anerobic," that is, bacillis which cannot live in air, the vital principle of which is oxygen. They exist—like the tetanus bacillin—in cultivated soil, and it is because the war is being fought in France among the peasants' fields that they are introduced so constantly by ricocheting bullets or scraps of earth stained clothing into the soldiers' wounds. Once there they set about producing tiny gas bubbles among the tissues, hence the name "gas gangrene." But the gas they cannot endure is oxygen, and the obvious way to destroy them is to introduce oxygen into the innermost recesses of the wound. This is secured by various methods according to the nature of the injury. A hole right through the shoulder will be sterilized by the use of a wick drawing peroxide of hydrogen from a small tank above the bed. Another kind of wound may be sprayed with ozone and the third more conveniently dealt with by means of a perforated tube fed with oxygen gas from a cylinder. The operations to which reference has been made would doubtless be described as severe even by the surgeons themselves; nevertheless, modern science has robbed them of most of their terrors. The improvements in anesthetics have been such that it is no uncommon thing for an operation to last two hours and for the patient to feel no ill effects from the drug a quarter of an hour after he recovers consciousness. Some, indeed, will be smoking a cigarette within that space of time. The secret lies in the administration of oxygen with the anesthetic. EDISON TAKES VACATION. Copyright Midland & Rotherham Thomas A. Edison, the inventive genius, has abandoned the realms of the scientific world to spend a vacation of a few weeks in the Adirondacks, next to nature. He and a party of two, consisting of H. S. Firestone of Akron, O., and John Burroughs, the famous naturalist, are roughing it in the wilds of the mountains. The photograph was taken as Mr. Edison was preparing to start for the mountains. LOST HIS MEMORY AT FIRE Indiana Man, Who Was in Iroquois Disaster in Chicago, Forgot His Past Life. Binghamton, N. Y.—After being given up as dead 13 years, Milton Simmons, Kokomo, Ind., real estate dealer, has returned to his mother, Mrs. Cecella Simmons, Syracuse. Simmons tells a remarkable story of his loss of memory resulting from the Iroquois fire in Chicago. He was operating a spot light in the balcony when the fire broke out and he was plunged 60 feet into the bodies below, but was rescued. The fall caused loss of memory, and after two months in a hospital he recovered, going to Tipton, Ind., where he engaged in business and married. Later he went into the real estate business in Kokomo, where he now resides. Increasing pressure on the brain from the injury resulted in the necessity for an operation last winter, and following this he gradually regained memory of his mother and his former life. WILL NOT GET HER WAIST British War Regulations Prevent Father of Indiana Woman From Following Usual Custom. Fort Wayne, Ind. — Mrs. Brownie Simmons of Chicago, who has been visiting relatives in Fremont, will not receive this year a waist from her father in England, as she has each year for many years, because of the war regulations. She has received a letter from her mother saying the customs officers have refused to permit the waist to be sent out of the country, saying that would mean another waist would have to be imported to replace it. Mrs. Simmons' mother also wrote that she is required to spend one day each week wheeling wounded or sick soldiers about for an airing. Ad Brings 502 Dogs. Vincennes, Ind.-Five hundred and two dogs in the charge of 300 boys and girls appeared in response to an ad placed in all the local papers in which the W. A. Flint company asked for 1,000 dogs to be delivered at its front door at a specified time. Three hours before the time boys and girls leading or carrying their dogs were on the way to the Flint store. Each child bringing a dog to the Flint store was given 25 cents. A sign reading "Chasing for Flint's" was placed on each dog's back. TO DISGUISE MILK MANY WAYS OF PREPARING IT FOR CHILDREN. Not All Youngsters Like This Most Valuable of All Foods, and Here Are Some Methods of Introducing It Into Diet. How to introduce the necessary quantity of milk into the diet of a child who dislikes it is a problem which confronts many mothers at this time of year. Milk is such a perfect food for children that it is always a pity when it is not taken readily and enjoyed, but with a little ingenuity, the trouble usually may be overcome. The best authorities on children's diet consider a quart of milk a day the proper allowance for a child past the third year, this quantity to include milk used in preparing food and that served with cereals, as well as milk taken as a beverage. Where a child shows a disinclination to drink milk, fancy colored glasses with figures sketched on the outside will often change the aspect of things and distract the child's attention. Sucking the milk through a straw is another innocent trick by means of which the desired quantity is absorbed. Cocoa, either hot or cold, is another valuable means of introducing milk into a child's diet, as only enough cocoa need be added to change the appearance and flavor. An excellent way of introducing milk into a child's diet is with vermellicl, which in many families is considered the nursery form of macaroni. Instead of the familiar white sauce served to adults the final cooking of the vermellicl should be in milk and slightly thickened. Milk should also be used on finely chopped potato and on any other vegetables where a cream sauce would ordinarily be served. Cereals cooked in milk instead of in water are practically the same in appearance, though much more nutritious because of the milk absorbed in the slow cooking. Half milk and half water may also be used, or the preliminary cooking can be done in water and milk added to the cereal when partly done. Cereal puddings, either hot or cold, also offer a wide range for the attractive use of milk. The simplest of creamy rice puddings can be completely changed in appearance by the addition of cocoa stirred in while the ingredients are being mixed. An egg pouched in milk and served with a spoonful of thickened milk poured over it on a slice of toast will often be enjoyed by a child who refuses milk as a beverage. Another excellent way of combining egg and milk is to beat an egg until light and foamy, adding a scant half cupful of milk and a few grains of salt. Pour into a buttered ramekin and set in a pan of boiling water either on the stove or in the oven. Do not stir but let it cook until thick and creamy. Let the child eat it from the ramekin. Scotch Broth. The following recipe was given me at a famous Dickens' hotel in England: Take the liquor any mutton has been boiled in and remove the fat when cold. Wash a cupful of pearl barley and put it on to boll. When done add to the liquor; also a turnip, carrot, onion, and a little celery. Boll until the vegetables are tender and serve. Grated raw carrot on the top of this soup improves the flavor and adds much to the appearance. There was enough of the stock, probably a large kettleful, so that the broth was thin. A single pound of mutton shoulder, the fat and skin removed before it is cooked in two quartes of water, will flavor a barley liquid sufficiently for a delicate soup, but three pounds are often used. To preserve some of the strength of the meat, which may be taken out and used with a gravy or a curry sauce, saute it in hot fat and add boiling water to cook it. Left over barley porridge may be used for thickening a broth. "Hodge Podge Pickle" Recipe One dozen cucumbers, sliced thinly; one gallon shredded cabbage, four onions, three teaspoonfuls salt, two cupfuls white sugar, four red peppers, one-half pound dry mustard, one ounce celery seed, one ounce white and black mustard seed. Add enough vinegar to mix thoroughly, and let come to boiling point. Stir in mustard, which has been mixed with cold vinegar. Boil 20 minutes; seal in jars while hot. Excellent to serve with meats. Stuffed Egg Aurore. These are made by removing the yolks from hard-boiled eggs, and mixing them with a tablespoonful of fresh cream, the same amount of fresh butter, English mustard, and a teaspoonful of minced tarragon leaves. The mixture should be put through a fine wire sleeve, then into a pastry bag and forced through a rose tube into the halved whites of the eggs; each is decorated with a star-shaped piece of pimenta and garnished with watercress. They may be served in nests of watercress.—Vogue. Beef Relish. Mix well together one quart of finely chopped cabbage, one quart of chopped boiled beef, two cupfuls of sugar, one cupful of chopped onion, one cupful of grated horseradish; one tablespoonful of salt and a small amount of cayenne. Cover with cold vinegar and keep well corked. This is a change from the familiar kinds of pickles kept on hand by the careful housewife. To Save Oilcloth. Before using oilcloth paste at each corner on the wrong side a square of cotton material. This will prevent the unsightly cracking of the corners which so often comes long before the body of the cloth shows any signs of wear. To Freshen Rusty Black Lace. Soak in vinegar and water, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar to one pint of water. Rinse and iron while damp between fannels or bath towels.

Senator Jim Reed is at home, al-ready to use his "woody-dell" oratory and biting "sourcasm" in an impassioned appeal to the people to "stand by the President," a thing that Jim failed to do a number of times him self. Senator Reed denies that Congress was "held up" for the so-called "eight-hour" law, the purpose of which was to fool about 400,000 railway employees into believing that they were being legislated into a twenty-five per cent increase of wages. The horse pistol was missing, of course, but the act was unmistakable. We don't blame Reed for asking that it be given a more polite designation. Vance McCormick, the Democratic National chairman, announces that the result in Maine is a Democratic victory and goes back twenty-four years for a comparison to prove it. The fact is that the Democrats lost everything in Maine—senators, congressman, legislature and even county officers. They don't get a look-in. The majority of 13,000 won by the Maine Republicans, based on the comparative total vote, is equal to 65,000 in Missouri. The Negro Democrats of New York recently passed resolutions condemning President Wilson's failure to appoint deserving members of the Colored race to important positions. Then they passed more resolutions pledging their continued support to the President, which shows that they are still pretty well pleased. Just to further humiliate the Negro federal employees, a few days ago the commissioners of public buildings in Washington issued an edict providing Jim Crow wash rooms and toilets for the Colored men. Then the powers happened to recall$^a$ that election is very near and the edict was hastily recalled. Will the black men be so easily fooled by this trick? Is there not enough of manhood and race loyalty in the heart of every Negro voter to revolt against such brazen insults as these, coming from the very source to which we should look for sympathy and encouragement? With the approach of -winter the city is rapidly filling up with recruits for an already large number of footpads, holdup men and housebreakers.

MockKisses By VICTOR REDCLIFFE (Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman). Ruby Wardell was madly jealous of her husband and he never suspected the fact. Certainly he was handsome, chatty, accommodating, but all of his impulses were of the friendly and humane order and he idolized his wife solely as the apple of his eye. He had noticed the first gloss of sweetness and perfect happiness somewhat dissipated after the first six months of married life, but he attributed the growing pettishness of Ruby to loneliness, ennui, the absence of close girlhood friends. Arnold was away a good deal of his time, being a traveling salesman. He felt sorry for Ruby on this account. As to Ruby, she continued to hear what terrible flirts these knights of the road were, most of them, her informants assured her, like the sailor who has a sweet-heart in every port. If Arnold had understood his wife and her concened suspicions better, he would never have telegraphed her one summer afternoon: "Man away for two days. Expect a big order. Will be delayed forty-eight hours." These facts were true. Arnold was acting under a strictly business impetus and house instructions. He had two days to loaf in. The village was crude, hot, dusty, a dead old town. The next morning he resolved upon a hike down an inviting-looking country road. The primitive struck him from the start of his jaunt. The farms were ancient, the people homespun and gawky. At some doorsteps he saw old women with distaff and spinning wheel. He w. wilson "Why, What Does This Mean?" neared a ruined old mill patched with moss, a fit setting for a picture of a far past century. There was a little grove near it. The place was deliciously quiet and cool. Arnold sat down under a spreading oak and fell asleep. He awoke to the sound of conversation near by. Getting to his feet he made out beyond, a bright pretty maiden of about eighteen and a slouchy but honest-faced country bumpkin a trifle older. Near by was a keen-faced business-appearing young man, obviously city bred. Leaning against a tree was a tripod and camera. The young man was speaking: "It will never do." "What do you want me to do?" demanded the bumpkin in a fretful tone "squeeze her to death?" "Not at all—be the natural lover. Don't snack her, kiss her dainty. Don't grab her us if she were a snack of wheat. Be expressive, my young friend." "Say," spouted the bumpkin. "you want a love scene? Well, here it is true to nature, isn't it, Nellie?" "Yes," nodded the blushing girl. "That's the way Hiram has always made love." The young man looked troubled. He stood musing. Finally he observed: "I've offered our young friend here a thousand dollars to let me catch a good rural movie, winding up by burning down this worthless old rattrapet of a mill. That's all right, I can make the fire scene thrilling enough, but I've got to have half a reel of genuine sentiment preceding the sensational denoument. Wish I had one of the regular troupe here. You won't do at all. The audience would simply laugh." "There's Lem Powers," observed the girl shyly. "He knows how to play love." "How do you know?" roared the aroused Hirum. "He studied in an elocution school." "Yes, I'd like to see Lem making love to you. Oh, yes," snorted Hirum. "Can I help you out?" abruptly insured Arnold, coming into view. All hands stared at his pleasant smiling face, the girl particularly the movie 'man with interest, Hiram dubiously. Said the latter: "Just play kisses, mind you!" "Oh, surely" agreed Arnold accommodatingly. "Tve got a little time to spare. What's the program, Mr. Movie?" The young man addressed outlined two scenes. Arnold acted them out to perfection and Miss Nellie Bliss was cute and original, if a trifle awkward. There was a final scene where Arnold jumped from a window in the blazing mill. The movie man settled with Elram, the latter and Nellie, invited Arnold to dinner and the episode passed pleasantly. Hiram got Arnold's city address. "Going to call on you when Nellie and I go on our wedding tower," he de- clared. "It's just like picking that thousand dollars out of the road, selling that wreck of a mill." Arnold returned home and forgot all about the incident. Three months inter Mrs. Wardell invited a lady friend to a new movie, advertised as "Rural Love." Mrs. Wardell gasped, her friend stared in grim silence as the film progressed. It was the mill comedy that Arnold had played in, now on the verge of being turned into a positive tragedy. Arnold Wardell renched home that evening to find Ruby with her hat and wraps on, her trunk in the hallway and no supper ready. "Why, what does this mean?" he asked in wonderment. "It means that I have been to see 'Rural Love' and that you are a villian!" "W-what?" fairly shouted Arnold. "And I'm going home to mother. A nice scandal you've made. Oh-oh-oh!" and the hysterical Ruby flounced out through the open front doorway. Arnold snatched up his hilt to follow her. As he stepped upon the porch he caught a hint of a new element of mystery in the scene under play. "You daring hussy! Oh, this is too much!" "I'm not a hussy. I'm Mrs. Hiram Briggs and I've come to see our good, kind friend who helped us make a thousand dollars, and since then Uncle Jared has given us a farm, and we're the happiest people in the world. Oh, Mr. Wardell! we told you we would call, but maybe you don't want to see us." "And, say, what do you think—they've got that whole mill business in the movies. We saw it today," added Hiram. "And you look just as nice and handsome as you did the day you helped us out!" cried Nellle. "Oh!" exclaimed Arnold suddenly, enlightened. "And you saw the movie, Ruby, and fancied I was—a villain?" "You?" cried Nellle. "Oh, no, indeed! You are the best gentleman in the world, and we like and respect you, and we want you to come down to the new farm and spend a month's vacation with us—and your wife," added Nellle, but a trifle dubiously. Mrs. Wardell, however, began to see the light. She got the whole story. Within the hour she became transformed into a model hostess. "It's all right, Arnold," she told her husband, after their guests were gone, "but that movie so reminded me of how you used to be." "I'm just the same as ever," declared Arnold. "Don't you think you have changed a trifle?" "Yes, I do. I was foolishly jealous," frankly confessed Ruby. "I won't be again, dear." "As to the old times," observed Arnold, a merry twinkle in his eye and opening his arms expansively, "suppose we adopt the old-time love-making as a regular thing." She nestled in his arms complincently. "Ah, this is something like it!" jubilated Arnold, as their lips met. "In 'Rural Love' they were only mock kisses, you know!" Mouse as Engineer A field mouse which had fallen into a hole dug to receive a telegraph pole displayed great ingenuity and perseverance in effecting its escape. The first hour or so he ran round the bottom of the hole trying to find some means of escape, but could not climb out. Then he settled down to business. He began steadily and systematically to dig a spiral groove, round and round the inner surface of the hole, with a uniformly ascending grade. He worked night and day, and as he got farther from the bottom he dug little pockets where he could either lie or sit and rest. The telegraph workers, who had noticed his plight and were curious to know how he would escape, supplied the little engineer with food. At the end of two weeks the mouse struck a rock. This puzzled him. For nearly a day he tried to get under, around, or over the obstruction, but without success. With unfinching patience he reversed the spiral, and went on tunneling his way in the opposite direction. At the end of four weeks he reached the top, and probably sped away to enjoy his well-earned freedom. His escape was not observed. Flanders. The southern part of Flanders in which the heaviest fighting of the year 1914 occurred, greatly resembles the watery part of the Netherlands. It is a region of low pastures and "high skies," ditches, rain and salt spray. The opening of the locks at Nieuport flooded the land on both sides of the Yser canal. Behind this the remains of the Belgian army were able to withstand the first shock of the German army marching for Calais. After almost two years of patience and ingenuity, the Germans could not advance a single yard against this stagnant lake, which is now the burying ground of many thousand young and brave fellows. The ordinary methods of war were of no avail. Boats, floats, complicated rafts were all tried and given up as useless. The remaining part of Belgium was safe behind this bulwark of the faithful oldly, the North sea.—National Geographic Magazine. Hearing Men at Work Nowadays, the manager of a machine shop or factory can know how much work is being done at benches by mechanics or by power driven machines or tools by means of microphones or telephone transmitters connected with the working apparatus. By becoming familiar with the vibrations of the different machines he can tell at any given moment just how fast Pat is working the lathe, or how industriously Mike is operating the milling machine on one of his blue Mondays. In addition to this he can tell at a single turn of the switch if the machines are running at normal speed and smoothly and properly, as they should. Quite a Bit. There's a difference between well informed and knowing it all.—Kansas City Journal. THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1916 SUN-KISSED TEMPLES OF BAALBEK TEMPLE OF JEWELS WHAT IS LEFT OF THE TEMPLE OF THE SUN? BAALBEK is many things besides being a tourist center. For mass, the Egyptian temples lead. For intricacy of detail the Indian gopurams surpass. For delicacy of design, the Taj Mahal will long hold the palm. But the ruins at Baalbek are both impressive and magnificent, inspiring, satisfying. The pyramid of Cheops is child's play compared with the many-ton entabulation which surmounts the airy columns of the Temple of the Sun. A house can be moved up a hill, but by what machinery did the builders of Baalbek poise such a mass at such a height? asks Maynard Owen Williams in the Christian Herald. magnificently sculpture t presents a row surmounted by console leaves, with a number and bulls carved on it are tooth patterns at a Greek key des per cornice, above ear are some lions' head jaws, which served as rain water." The part from the top is only half yet when I stood on front of one of these exquisitely carved so fallen from its lofty Baalbek is situated at the base of the Jebel esh Sherkil or Eastern mountain, better known to us as the Anti-Lebanon, whose snows sometimes extend down to the town, itself 4,000 feet above the sea. Numerous springs are found here, and graceful poplars and green vegetation stand out in pleasing contrast with the level brown or purplish tone of the plain. Fifteen miles away the background of the picture stretches from 8,000-foot Sannin in the south to Dahr ul Khadib, whose blunt summit is nearly 11,000 feet above the sea. In this charming spot, where nature must have impressed man with her grandeur and majesty, he vied with her in achieving the titanic. As one stands beside one of the fallen pillars, whose round base towers high above his head, it seems as though the ambitious builders had succeeded. The high containing walls shut in the view to center it on this mighty pile. But as one rides across the Bika on his way to the cedars of Lebanon and looks back on the ruins, the colossal group becomes but a tiny gem on nature's bosom. Cain Built First Temple. Cain is said to have built the first temple at Baalbek, using the mastodon as his work-animal for transporting stone. That makes Baalbek rather old. By the early Phenician period Baalbek had become famous as the center of Baal worship. Since then, the Seleucide, the Romans, the Byzantines and the Saracens have ruled there. There is nothing in the ruins that tells the average tourist the history of these mighty structures, but Baedekers are handy if not cheap, and a Baedeker and a Bible are the prime necessities of Levantine travel. Picture that famous church of Paris, the Madeleine, standing at a height of 50 feet above a level plain, surrounded by 54 columns nearly eight feet in diameter, whose bases alone are taller than a man, and you have some idea of the temple to Helios which gave Hellopolis its name. Today only six of the mighty columns remain erect, like proud sentinels guarding their fallen brothers. Each column is made up of three pieces, each 22 feet in height, making up with the cornice a total height of 80 feet. They are of a tawny shade, blushing with a brighter tint when the slanting light of sunrise or sunset falls across their stately height. Massive Carved Cornice. Michael M. Alouf, a Syrian of Baalbek, thus describes the cornice: "The column is surmounted by a Corinthian capital, entablure, frieze and cornice. Calls Them 'Mewing Women.' One who wishes to be gallant will mark the charm of the minds and the graciousness of the manner of many in the class of Russian society women, which includes many titled persons, Richard Washburn Child writes in the Century Magazine. Many are fascinating women whose minds are better trained, and whose manners, though more direct, are more considerate and whole-hearted than those of our own "best people." But the "intelligent" woman in Russia looks without admiration upon the woman who is living as a respectable ornament. One of them, who has wealth, and yet works eight hours a day in social service, spoke of the charming idlers as the "mewing women." "I do have affection for some of them," she said, "but they mew so! This war is helping them to find out that they may stop mewing and do something. I have seen many of the young daughters of their kind plunged in work in our hospitals for the wounded. I have two nieces who are going every day and really working. Ah, a magnificently sculptured. The entablature presents a row of egg patternus surmounted by consoles with scantish leaves, with a number of small lions and bulls carved on them. Higher up are tooth patterns and small roses, then a Greek key design. On the upper cornice, above each column, there are some lions' heads, with gaping jaws, which served as an issue for the rain water." The part from the tooth pattern to the top is only half the total height, yet when I stood on the ground in front of one of these great blocks of exquisitely carved stone, which had fallen from its lofty height, I could hardly reach up and touch the lion's jaws. How the Romans ever lifted these massive blocks to their lofty position above the capitals of the columns is a mystery. The Romans, prodigal as they seem to have been, never invested real money in the provinces. The wealth with which this wonderful temple was built was raised in Syria itself. Yet today the Turk, exacting in his demands, derives but a pittance from this fertile district. The temple of Bacchus, which is the best preserved of Syrian ruins, is quite apart from the great temple of Jupiter, Hellos, Baal, or the Sun. The finest thing about this temple is the front door, solid stone, 43 feet high and just half as broad. Hospitality with a capital H! The stone of the doorway is carved in the most intricate and lacellike designs. Next to the door is a charming beadwork and leaf design. Then a twisted rope and a conventional vine and wheat design. Then more filgree that might have been carved with a tool as fine as a cambric needle, and some figures of satyrs and bacchantes, not so conventional. The door posts are nearly two feet wide, and the whole is made up of sculpture that would grace even England's masterpiece, Melrose Abbey. The great size and stability of the temples inspire confidence in the climber. A stairway leads to the top of the cella walls—the solid walls of the temple proper—which project for 50 feet above the ground. Where Oracle Was Housed. This smaller temple is 227 feet long and about half as wide, facing the rising sun, and formerly approached by a fine staircase, which was destroyed when the Arabs built a fortress and wall in front of the earlier temple. Of the 42 columns which once surrounded it, only 16 remain in place, yet from the back the temple seems almost complete. On the south side one of the 50-foot columns has fallen against the side of the temple, but so securely are its drums clamped together that it remains whole although it has smashed a hole in the wall. The keystone above the doorway dropped so far after the earthquake in 1859 that a pier of stones was necessary to hold it in place, but the stone has now been raised to its original position, and the familiar carving of the Roman eagle with long garlands in its beak can be seen. It was in this temple that the oracle of Banibek was housed and the secret passage by means of which the priests entered the statue to proclaim the fate of the land can still be seen. good taste of usefulness will change them so that they will never be content to be dolls again. They will cease to mew. The flatness is truly leaving their faces." What a Boy Can Do A boy asked his father what he could do for his country in the event of war. This is what his father told him: A boy can be just as good a citizen and patriot as his father. It is not age, not voting power, not the ability to carry arms alone that are serviceable to one's country. First, the boy can see to his health. That is of high value to his country. Second, he can see to his education. Your country gives it to you, because an educated man is many times as valuable to it as an ignorant man. When you study you fight for your country. Third, you can hold true your morals and ideals. Perhaps that is the highest service of all. Chile has adopted a new standard time approximately 16 minutes in advance of that former used. RECOGNIZE VALUE OF FIGS Mothers of Young Children Make Them Part of the Daily Menu—Some Methods of Preparation. Figs are becoming a national delic- ency. Little need be said of their medicinal value, save that as a laxative they are particularly good for children and are advisable to use as part of the daily diet. Preserved skinless figs are delicious and may be bought in jars or cans. Many like them for breakfast with hot buttered rolls or with the natural sirup drained off and cream substituted. Have you ever tried fig pudding? One-half pound figs, two pints milk, three heaping tablespoonfuls corn- starch, two heaping tablespoonfuls sugar, three eggs, one-half teaspoon- ful lemon extract. Wash the figs, cut them in small pieces, then put them into a buttered casserole dish. Put the cornstarch into a saucepan and molsten it with half a cupful of the milk. Bring the rest of the milk to the boiling point, pour it over the cornstarch and stir till it boils ten minutes. Add the sugar, lemon extract and the eggs, well beaten. Pour over the figs and bake in a moderate oven for half an hour. Serve with cream or milk. KEEP CISTERN WATER PURE Filter That May Be Easily and Cheaply Constructed Will Answer for the Purpose. The water in the cistern may be rendered clean and free from impurities at a very small cost by putting in a filter made as follows; Sink a joint of common tiling into the ground near the wall of the house. A Filter for $1.00. A, Spouting; B, Tiling; C, Charcoal; D, Cement Foundation; E, Pipe, Leading From Filter to Cistern; F, Cistern. Fill the tiling within a couple of inches of the top with charcoal, place a lid on it to prevent the mice, rats, bugs and dirt, and all other foreign substances from entering the cistern by that route. If a piece of heavy wire screen is placed over the charcoal, so much the better. Have the filter rest on a foundation of clean stones or cement from three to four inches deep, into which a two-inch pipe should be arranged for carrying the water to the cistern. A piece of heavy screening should be placed over that end of the pipe protruding into the filter, and another piece of fine screen wire should be fastened across the opening into the cistern; both of which are for the purpose of allowing nothing of any size to get into the water supply. Chocolate Cake. Put one cupful sugar, one-quarter cupful butter and three tablespoonfuls cocoa in mixing bowl. Set on back of range until slightly warm, then mix well and add one whole egg and yolk of another well beaten, one-half cupful milk and sift in with one cupful of flour (no more), three-quarter teaspoonful cream tartar, one-half teaspoonful soda, one teaspoonful vanilla. Bake in shallow pan. Batter may seem too thin but will be all right. Frosting—One cupful granulated sugar, three tablespoonfuls boiling water. Boil until it spins a thread, then turn into stiffly beaten white of egg, add one-half teaspoonful vanilla and beat until thick enough to spread. Mock Chicken Loaf Two pounds uncooked veal, put through meat grinder, one-quarter pound salt pork in like manner, one beaten egg, three-quarters cupful powdered crackers, one-half teaspoonful salt, pepper and sage to taste. Put in pan such as you use for loaf cake. Bake one hour. It's nice, just before placing in oven, to beat one egg until light. Pour over, then sprinkle cracker crumbs. Orange Snow. Slice the oranges and remove the seeds and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Then for six oranges stir in a pint of whipped cream, or as much as the cream will hold without becoming soft. Keep the cream on ice before using, that it may be nice and stiff. Make a meringue of the whites of four eggs and half a cupful of powdered sugar, and top the mixture with this, return to the ice and serve very cold. Tomato Savory. Take one-half pound of tomatoes, skin them, cut them in slices, put one ounce of butter into a saucepan, add the tomatoes, pepper and salt, and cook them slowly about ten minutes, then add the yolks of two fresh eggs. Stir till the mixture is quite a thick paste and serve it on little crouts of fried bread. To Keep Suet. Take out any skin there may be, and then put the suet in a gluepan and place on a warm but not hot fire and let it melt gradually. When quite melted pour it into a pan of cold water. When quite hard wipe it dry, wrap it in white paper, and when wanted for use it may be rubbed on a grater. Oyster Cocktail. For a first course at supper an oyster cocktail served in grapefruit is an innovation. The fruit is prepared as usual, though not sweetened, and several small oysters with tabasco and horse-radish dressing, are placed in the hollow left by the removal of the seeds and central pulp. Showing Dainty Bridal Garments ALLURING PART OF BRIDAL TROUSSEAU A woman sits on a stool in front of a mirror, holding a mirror in her hand and wearing a headpiece. She is dressed in a long dress with a fur trim and a floral pattern. A mannequin stands behind her, wearing a hat. The background features a dressing table with a mirror, a dress rack, and various cosmetic items. The nuggee is of white chiffon lined with pink and edged with white marabou, with belt of pink roses. The cap is of lace, wired to points and half covered with a floating tulle veil. Rich Fabrics to Be Worn Shops Make Lavish Display of Pretty Things That Once Were Made at Home. FINERY THAT IS EXQUISITE Artistry, Frivolity and Originality Have Been Combined With Wonderful Results—Gorgeous Colors Rule In Most Cases—Empire Styles Have Popularity. While acknowledging that the young bride of today is justified in selecting for her trousseau only those bits of lingerie that are suitable for the fashions of the hour, still, one has pleasant memories of the preparation of a dozen of each, that was the sum and substance of a wedding chest of other days. One thinks of the patience, eagerness and joy which went into the work of making those dozens of garments and the long hours spent by the family together, cutting, basting, stitching and putting on the handwork. It was always a task of love, this preparation of the underlinen for a girl in the family, and all her intimate friends added their share. But this affectionate task, like many other things that were once considered necessary in the family life, has gone by the board. The shops do our work for us, and it is all a part of the substitution of the radiator for the open fire, the electric stove for the charcoal and wood, the readymade gowns and suits for the home sewing room and the machine stitching for the threaded needle. Women Have More Leisure. In every way women are finding that drudgery is loosening its hold on their lives, and soon all they will have to do is give their time to social service, reading and the lighter forms of pleasure. In the last few months the smart shops have made a strong effort to in- ALLURING PART OF The neignee is of white chiffon in marabou, with belt of pink roses. The half covered with a floating tulle veil. produce original house robes. They have gone to Venice and to Moscow for their inspiration. There are negligees that look as though they had been filleted from the stage of the Russian ballet, and there are others that could easily be worn in a more formal manner. That which is known as the wrapper is dead. The calico Mother Hubbard of practical life has absolutely no place in the modern finery. Even with her simplest combing sack, the bride-elect sees to it that it is touched with artistry, frivolity and originality. Dieplaces Draw Customers. The outpourings of the shops today in matinee, sleeping sacks and breakfast gowns, allure the most economical and conservative women to their windows. One of the attractive negligees made for an October bride is of white chiffon lined with flesh pink chiffon and edged with wide bands of white marabou. It is girdled above the waist with large pink roses, from which fall at one side loops and ends of nattier blue velvet ribbon. Invented to go with it is a piece of Rich Fabrics Velvet and Satin Brocades Among the Materials That Will Be Popular for Fall. The mention of velvets and woolens in summer is usually avoided as if it were an indelicacy, yet at this season we have to begin thinking about heavy fabrics and planning a fall wardrobe. Even in America there is less racing, less public life, and more and more of festivity screened behind the sheltering walls of villas, as in Italy. The echoes that reach the outside world bring little news of change and no inspiration, hardly even the old demand for something new. Lines are second in importance to fabrics. If I could have taken you with me through three of the greatest fabric houses in the world you would realize that the dye has already been cast and that the wonderful silks, velvets, brocades and cloth of gold shot with silver and iridescent colors, manufactured by these houses, mean a re- headgear which is neither cap nor crown, but which borrows a suggestion from each. It is made of a fine pattern of white lace, with broad points running upward and wired to stand. Lightly brushing the tips of these points and floating away to the shoulders and back, is a vell of white tulle. The mules are of flesh pink colored silk, with satin heels, and are touched at the instep and toe with pink rosebuds. Gorgeous Colors for the House. For the same trousseau there is another negligee made of white Lierre, draped over American beauty satin. In this the arms and neck are also bare, but there is a comfortable shoulder cape which keeps one from catching pneumonia. This cape is caught at the bust with an American beauty rose, and the lace which falls away from the high waistline has two long points at the back which are weighted with crystal tassels. Along with this negligee go silk stockings of American beauty pink and cloth of silver bedroom slippers. One of the fanciful caps which are supposed to be worn by the bride-elect in the morning when she has breakfast, is a curious cross between a nurse's cap and a Brunhilda helmet. It fits well over the forehead, but leaves the back of the head in full view. Of Really Novel Design. The cap in question shoots upward from the forehead in broad panels of embroidered satin, and there is a wired frill of white tulle that aspires to the heavens. It is tied on the head by a band of silver ribbon which begins with a pink rose between the eyes and finishes in a flaring bow at the nape of the neck. No one who goes out to buy the underlinen for a trousseau can be guided by what has been worn before or by what tradition once laid down as the proper equipment for a lady. It is best to go through a few of the shops which make a specialty of original under- BRIDAL TROUSSEAU lined with pink and edged with white The cap is of lace, wired to points and il. clothes, and if it is not possible to pay the price, to duplicate the garments elsewhere. One happy solution of this problem is that the department shops get out, at small prices, an amazing assortment of dainty and fashionable lingerie. Colors Most Favored. What is the tendency today? Well, it is toward flesh pink as a color, hemsitching and picot edging as trimming, blue ribbon against a pink surface and a flash of roses wherever it can be placed. Whether or not the first empire styles will come into our afternoon and evening gowns, they are certainly here in fashionable lingerie. One might think that Josephine's famous white satin robe had been taken as a model for the new nightgowns. Some of these have the puffed sleeves, although the tendency is Grecian. There is often a surplice bodice, back and front, and draped armholes finished with hemsitching or picot. There are crepe de chine gowns that are cut out in the form of a mandarin jacket, with a long, round decouletage edged with picot. turn, at least in materials, to the days of the second empire; there are vivid reds and robin's egg blues brocaded with huge silver roses; there are stiff, plain velvets and satins brocaded in velvet. The mixed or Persian brocades are passe, and the rage is for the single flower or motif. Most beautiful of all are the ribbons with velvet flowers on satin foundations; they are intended for entire gowns. There are also superb brides that are almost like lace, with designs in rose patterns. Stiff and rich as are the materials for evening wear, the new fabrics for the street are mostly of clinging weaves. Woolens are soft, often ribbed; the variety is not great, but they meet the American woman's demand for supply weaves for street wear.—From a Paris Correspondent in Harper's Bazar. Broad-belted Russian coats are even more than ever in favor. Big Ben (Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapmar.) Big Ben lay on the hillside, well within sight of the fall from which he had escaped. But that implied no particular danger to Big Ben, for one could see thirty miles in the clear atmosphere of the hills. And the penitentiary was at least twelve miles away, and that lay across forest and mountain. Big Ben was a lifer. He had killed a fellow man, while mad with drink. He had served four years, and had been made a trusty. He had not planned to escape, but the way was open and he walked out. That had been eight days before. Big Ben had raided a hecoop, seized a dozen struggling fowls, tied them into a bundle, and taken them to his retreat. They were busy laying eggs for his breakfast—what were left of them. Big Ben had no appetite. He had also stolen a sack of flour and a dozen boxes of matches, as well as a goodly supply of chewing tobacco. Now he was at peace with the world. He meant to stay there another week, till the hue and cry died down, and then to make his way across the hills to the railroad. They had been firing guns all the night before, but that could not be on account of his escape. Big Ben wondered whether another prisoner had escaped. He felt sorry for Travis, the warden, who had always treated him so well. Travis would get into trouble about him. If another prisoner had Walters Facing Him, Across the Stream, Was Maisle. made his getaway Travis would probably lose his job, and the prison system would be made more severe. Big Ben was sorry for Travis. He was sorry for his wife and the little girl, Maisle, who had brought him flowers sometimes. Maisle was five, and had a way which went straight to the heart of the most hardened prisoner. Still, if the way lay open, a man must try to get free. The appetite for liquor had quite left Big Ben. He meant to live a decent life henceforward, once he could strike the track and jump a freight to Halsworthy. There he would lose himself, and after a while strike west again. Big Ben was a good sort of man, he saw his past life and regretted it. He meant to make the best of his chances now. And he swore that he would die rather than go back to penitentiary life. A little stream ran purling down beside the cave in which he slept. Big Ben rose to get a drink of water. As he approached the stream, out of the shelter of the trees, he recolled in astonishment and terror. Facing him, across the stream, was Maisie. Maisie in a torn dress, with grubby hands and tear-stained face. Maisie, recognizing him with a glad smile, a cry of delight, and running through the water toward him. Maisie, snuggling into Big Ben's arms and holding up her face for a kiss. Big Ben looked at her. "Where's your daddy?" he asked. "I don't know," said Maisie. "I got lost." "Lost? When?" "Last night. I was plecking flowers, and I looked up and the trees were all round me. And I couldn't go home." The child must have wandered miles during the night. So that was what the guns had been firing for! "But you'll take me home, won't you, Big Ben?" continued Maistle, looking up into his face. Big Ben was staggered. He could not find any answer to make. "You see, daddy will be awful glad to see me again," said the little girl. "And now I found you. I know you'll take me back to daddy." Big Ben swallowed an bath. He still stared at the girl. "See here, kiddy, if you just walk and walk—" he began; and then he saw the startled look upon her face. And all his dreams of the future faded into blankness. "Sure I'll take you home, kiddy," he said, and, pleicking up the baby in his arms, he began to carry her through the trees Twelve miles it was—and with every step Big Ben's heart became so much lead. He strode along, now setting down the little girl, to let her pick some flower that had taken her fancy, now carrying her again. Presently, toward mid-day, he saw the little head nod in his arms. Maisie was sleeping, worn out by the walk of the night. Big Ben was just reaching the edge of the wood. The trees were becoming sparser. The hills dipped into a level valley. The penitentiary was only five miles away. And through the trees Big Ben could see the white and dusty highway that wound over field and mead until it passed under the grim brick walls, already looming ominously in the distance, the very incarnation of relentless fate. Big Ben cursed himself for a fool. He looked down at the little sleeping child and laid her softly upon the grass. He took three steps backward and looked at her again. Malste half opened her eyes and smiled. "Big Ben!" she murmured. Swallowing a curse, Big Ben strode to her and raised her in his arms again. After that he went doggedly toward the high road. Presently he saw a horseman riding toward him. Big Ben swallowed hard. He hesitated; then, with firm steps, he walked straight for the beast and its rider, who, as he approached, resolved himself into the familiar form of the warden. Big Ben was halting now in front of the warden, Travis, who held a pistol in his hand. But he did not point it at Big Ben. He let it fall back into the holster. There were tears in Travis' eyes as he took the little, sleeping girl out of Big Ben's arms and held her across his saddle. He said not a word, but motioned to Big Ben to walk in front of his horse. Dogged, silent, but strangely happy, Big Ben led the procession back toward the walls of the jail. Suddenly he heard an exclamation behind him. "Big Ben!" shouted the warden. Big Ben looked round. Travis had reined in his horse, and was looking alternately from Big Ben to Maiste's face. "You darned fool!" said the warden. "Big Ben!" "Sir!" "I'm going to ride straight to the penitentiary. You are to follow me. Do you hear, confound you?" "Yes, sir," answered Big Ben. "Yes, sir," answered Big Ben. Travis rode ahead at a gallop. Presently he relied in and looked round. Big Ben was following him. "Big Ben, have you gone crazy?" demanded Travis. "It looks like it, sir," answered Big Ben. "Big Ben!" "Sir!" "The prisons head is coming here next month. He generally asks me if I wish to recommend any prisoners for the consideration of the pardons board. I—I guess I may have a name or two to put down." "Yes, sir," answered Big Ben. The penitentiary loomed very near. Presently they were riding under the grim walls. The gate opened before them and closed grimly behind them. Volcanic Islands. The first of the Bogosof group of the Aleutian islands was born 120 years ago. There was a great convulsion in the Behring sea, about twenty-five miles north of Unalaska, and an island appeared above the surface of the stormy waters. This islet, which rose to a height of nearly 3,000 feet above sea level, was christened Bogosof by the Russians, who then owned Alaska. It remained solitary until 1882, when another volcanic eruption in the sea was followed by the birth of another island near the first. For two years the new island was the scene of an active eruption. Then it cooled gradually, and, like the first islet, became the home of seals and sea lions and the breeding ground for sea birds. The third of the Bogosof group was born ten years ago. The "baby" was smaller than its elder sister, being about a third of a mile in diameter and with an altitude of some 600 feet, but the following year another convulsion of nature resulted in nearly doubling its area. Since then several other islands have been born in various parts of the Aleutian chain. Improper Use of "Don't" There is nothing incorrect about the elision of "do" and "not" which makes "don't", if it is used correctly. But there is scarcely another word in the English language which is so often used incorrectly. It is a strange thing, but we often hear otherwise educated people using this elided form on the negative in the singular, people who would not think of using the affirmative of it as singular. "She don't" and "he don't" are just as disagreeable to the cultivated ear as "she do" and "he do" would be and it is astonishing that anyone of the most elementary grammatical knowledge could be so deaf to the values of English speech as to use them. Still the mistake is annoyingly common. Recently we even heard an actor, playing the part of a gentleman of refinement, say "she don't love me." Ugh! And, if actors cannot at least speak our mother tongue grammatically, what are they good for? Remember, it is just as easy to be right and say "she does not" or "doesn't."—Ohio State Journal. Sentiment A white lady was passing, a small cabin in a Tennessee town when a black woman came to the door and hailed a pickaninny playing in the yard. "You, Fertilizer!" called out the mother. "Come yere and got yore face washed." The passer-by stopped. "Excuse my curiosity, please," she said; "but what did you call that child?" "I called her by her regular name," said the colored woman. "I called her Fertilizer." "Isn't that rather a peculiar name for a child?" asked the lady. "Not of you knows how dat chile come to git it," stated the parent. "You see, Missis, dat chile is named partly fur her paw and partly fur me. Her paw's name is Fertinand and my name's Eliza."—Illustrated Sunday Magazine. Something in That. I wish I had a pretty name," said Betty. "I wish my name was Alice or Evangeline or something like that." "Why, my dear," said papa, "you have the only name I ever heard that will rhyme with 'pretty', and what more could you want?" The Growing Importance O O O O doubt the man who paid an even $800 for a single hen, "Lady Egantine," not long ago, will get his money back with liberal interest. The phenomenal value of this hen lay in the fact that she had just completed the astonishing performance of producing 314 eggs in 365 days. It is assumed that the progeny of Lady Egantine will also be wonderful egg machines, for which reason her eggs will command the highest prices for hatching purse. Doses; as a matter of fact, they are already selling at $5 apiece. To be safe, this is much of a gamble, but hundreds of people will be glad to take the chance.

The cardboard boxes especially depping chicks are manufactured and such keen senses that they can keep the temperature at close to 103 degrees without referring to a thermometer, which instrument is never employed. Custom hatching in this country is quite another matter, and has been made possible only by the invention of incubators of the continuous type, heated from a coal-burning furnace and requiring only a comparatively small amount of attention. It is a line of work which farmers' wives and other women can follow with success and to which farmers themselves, as well as the owners of large poultry plants, are turning their attention. Men and women living near the larger towns, and especially if close to the railroad station or on a trolley line, are particularly well situated to do custom hatching, for people keeping a few hens will come personally with their eggs and also call for the chickens—just as they do in Egypt, by the way, except for the means of conveyance. The initial investment need not be large. One can start with a single machine and increase the size of his plant as business warrants. A little advertising by means of circulars, or better, in a newspaper, will bring the custom. It is first necessary, however, to learn all about running the incubator. It would be foolish to seek customers before becoming thoroughly familiar with artificial incubation and making several experimental hatchings. These can be made in the fall or winter. Along with custom hatching goes the sale of day-old chicks. This is another line which men and women in the country or elsewhere who have but little capital may begin in a small way and increase with their business. The two branches may well be combined also. If at any time there be a dearth of custom-hatching orders, the machines may be kept running just the same to fill orders for newly hatched chickens. For hatching chicks, a charge based on the number of eggs in an incubator tray is often made. If, for example, the tray may accommodate 75 eggs, the charge may be $2 and upwards. Just as much time and fuel are required for a dozen eggs as for 75. Of course, if the eggs to be hatched for several customers are received at the same time, they can be placed in the same machine, but it will be very difficult to decide to whom the chicks belong when they are out of the shells. If the hatcher is using single machines, it is wise to employ the smaller sizes. The machine which come in sections are most satisfactory, for they can be added to like sectional bookcases as one's business grows. Of course the custom hatcher takes no responsibility. He does his best, and if the eggs fall to hatch, the loss is the customer's. The hatcher has no means of knowing that they were fertile, even, until a test at the end of five days is made. Likewise, the hatcher runs no open accounts, if he is wise. A deposit should be made when the eggs are left, and the remainder paid when the chicks are delivered. Day-old chicks are best sold at a flat rate, say 15 cents apiece, with delivery charges added. Strongly made cardboard boxes especially designed for shipping chicks are manufactured and Fortunately for innocent noncombatants watermelons don't have very far to fall when they get ripe.

The phenomenal value lay in the fact that she completed the astonishment of producing 314 days. It is assumed the eny of Lady Eglantine, wonderful egg machine, reason her eggs will cost highest prices for her poses; as a matter of fact, they are at $5 apiece. To be safe, this is gamble, but hundreds of people will take the chance. You see, the call for all for heavy layers, for never has for eggs been so hard to meet. Sixteens are required to satisfy the American appetite each year. Egg farming has reached a point where it must be included among the big business interests of the country, and the coming of the parcel post has already given it added impetus. All over the country big plants are springing up, where chickens are hatched by the thousands and shipped far and wide. Other plants are being established for custom hatching, just about as chicks have been hatched in Egypt since the days of Moses. Over there the hatching is done in immense brick ovens, of which there are some six hundred, in which 125,000,000 chickens are incubated each season. Camel's dung is used for fuel, and the operators have such keen senses that they can keep secure at close to 103 degrees without a thermometer, which instrument is ployed. Custom hatching in this country is other matter, and has been made posi- tion the invention of incubators of the type, heated from a coal-burning requiring only a comparatively small attention. It is a line of work who wives and other women can follow and to which farmers themselves, as owners of large poultry plants, are attention.

For that reason, people who complain that the practice of withholding food is cruel are wasting their sympathes. To just what extent these new developments will revolutionize the poultry business of the country, no one can safely even guess. It is certain, though, that hundreds of people who formerly raised a few chicks each season with hen will now either send their hatching eggs to a customer hatchery or buy day-old chicks. The expense is but little greater and hours of fussing with broody hens are eliminated. People living in the cities may now keep hens in the back yard, for they will need no roosters and thus avoid the complaints of neighbors, and can keep breeds which do not get broody. One thing is certain, though. If the egg producers are going to make the most of their opportunities, many of them will have to reform their methods. The statement is made, apparently with authority, that there is an annual loss of $45,000,000 because of the improper handling of eggs. Much of this loss can be traced directly to the producers—the men and women on the farm. Such facts are responsible in part for the present much-discussed high cost of living. Many farmers let their eggs accumulate until they get a basketful, although it may take several weeks. Fertile and infertile eggs are dumped in the same lot. If a hidden nest is discovered, the old hen is shooed away and the half-incubated eggs are sold along with the others. This is the reason why the average market egg is unreliable. Incubation has begun in a fertile egg before it is laid. In a few days traces of the embryo may easily be discovered, even though the egg simply be kept in a warm room or allowed to remain in the sun. Ordinarily the germ soon perishes, and then the egg is quickly added to the rotten egg class. An infertile egg may be kept for many weeks without going bad, although it may get somewhat stale and consequently unfit for the table. Under the present system, the customer is protected to a large extent by the big egg merchants who examine the eggs which pass through their hands by means of a test known as candling. This candling is a highly important part of the business in most cities, and on the care and expertise with which the work is done depends the quality of the product which the customer secures. The men who candle eggs become remarkably expert—so expert that they can handle two eggs in each hand and grade them at a glance as they are passed quickly before a hole in a tin shade placed before a strong electric light. Eggs from flocks which contain no male bird except in the breeding season will keep longer and be better than those laid by hens with which a rooster is running. Many people still hold to the antiquated belief that hens lay better if attended by a rooster. This is a pure fallacy.

CHICKEN to keep pace with the supply—in fact, a little ahead of it, or it would not be found profitable to import eggs from China, as was done a year or two ago. All over the country mammoth poultry establishments are springing up. Not far from Chicago is a large plant made famous by its White Plymouth Rocks and White Indian Runners. There are 160 acres on this farm, and houses are scattered all over them. The man who owns this big plant sells much of his stock for breeding purposes, and values some of his birds as high as $5,000. That sounds like an unbelievable figure, to be sure, but the very lowest price for which one can buy a fowl at this farm is $5. The owner has made a fortune, is a bank director and a business man who can take rank with those who manage the big industries of the city. One thinks first of eggs in connection with the poultry business, but growing and fattening chickens for the table is almost as important a branch of it as egg farming. Formerly no one thought of specially preparing chickens for the slaughter. The farmer simply went out into the Not every poultryman can select a laying hen by her appearance. It is true students of poultry husbandry are generally able to do this, but few farmers and poultrymen are unless they have given the subject some attention. The following suggestions should be of help to you in enumerating some of the points in the making of a good laying hen. But these points will need to be verified. That is, you must practice if you would become a good judge or at least learn how to select your own pullets for layers. And it will be necessary for you to know how to select if you are to improve your flock. Judging poultry is said to be a finer art than the selection of other farm animals, but the man or woman who picks pullets with a fine head, alert eyes and comb, face and wattles of fine texture, has taken the first step toward increased egg production. Good pullets should stand square on their feet, with legs wide apart, with the front end of the body slightly higher than the posterior end, and with a long back and tail carried rather high. The body should be wedge-shaped, yielding ample room for the reproductive and digestive organs. How to get eggs in late fall and early winter when they are highest is a serious problem with most poultrymen. Taking it for granted that the pullets were hatched early and have made good growth during the summer season, we would get the entire flock of spring pullets, yearlings and all into winter quarters in September. That is, we would have the poultryhouse and yards put in order for winter then, so there will be no rearrangement to disturb the flock or in any way disarrange its daily routine or habits during late October, November and December, when we most desire the eggs. One of the principal factors for securing a high egg production in the poultry flock is exercise. A hen kept closely cooped will not lay as many eggs during a season; she will take on fat instead and become unhealthy. Give the hens plenty of range—and then get a larger basket in which to carry the eggs to market. Not many years ago this breed was little known to breeders. They have made rapid strides and are becoming very popular. The heavy Minorca combs, high tails, very dark legs and purple instead of black plumage have all been bred out and today the Black Leghorns are as good in slope as the other Leghorns. Their combs are equally as small and neat as the whites or browns. They carry their tails low and well spread. Their legs show a good yellow color together with a good green sheen to the plumage. Among many fanciers black is a desired color and among those admirers and fanciers the Black Leghorn, in many instances, is replacing its brown or white sister. They are persistent layers of large chalk-white eggs and there's no reason why they should lack popularity any longer. "LADY EGLANTINE" CHAMPION EGG LAYER OF THE WORLD cause broken eggs, although the point at issue is that fertile eggs are less desirable for table purposes than unfertile ones. One might imagine that with the tremendous extent of the egg business in this country, the market would be glutted. On the contrary, the demand seems keep pace with the supply—in fact, a little of it, or it would not be found profitable to eat eggs from China, as was done a year or so. Over the country mammoth poultry establishes are springing up. Not far from Chicago large plant made famous by its White Plymlocks and White Indian Runners. There are acres on this farm, and houses are scattered over them. The man who owns this big plant much of his stock for breeding purposes, and some of his birds as high as $5,000. But it is like an unbelievable figure, to be sure, that very lowest price for which one can buy a hat this farm is $5. The owner has made a sale, is a bank director and a business man take rank with those who manage the bigries of the city. He thinks first of eggs in connection with the busy business, but growing and fattening for the table is almost as important as a lot of it as egg farming. Formerly no one out of specially preparing chickens for the later. The farmer simply went out into the yard, selected a likely looking fowl, laid it on the block, and chopped off its head. Quite different is the process now, especially in the West and in Canada, where fattening poultry has developed into more of a fine art than in the eastern states. There is a difference of from three to seven cents a pound in the price paid for well-fleshed or fattened birds and that paid for poultry just off the range. As this means a difference of from 15 to 35 cents on a five-pound chicken, it is well worth while to fatten the fowls. POULTRY NOTES Selecting Pullets. every poultryman can select a laying hen or appearance. It is true students of poulushandry are generally able to do this, but farmers and poultrymen are unless they have the subject some attention. Following suggestions should be of help to an enumerating some of the points in the leg of a good laying hen. But these points need to be verified.

Home Town Helps Proper Placing of Trees and Shrubs Should Always Be Made an Important Consideration. Let your lawn centers remain open and clear that the whole yard may appear as large as possible; generous, yet well framed with plant shrubs and trees on all sides. If you must have a Phoenix Canariensis on a 40-foot lot, place it in the rear where it may also serve as a shade tree, though the same rules properly should obtain in the back yard as in the front yard. Better to use fan palms if you will have some, or the beautiful columnar cocos. Do not plant in the center or centers so that one or two large objects may alone be viewed by you, but frame your greensward or picture with shrubs, even trees, so that you will have a little privacy and sungness, a limited seclusion, so that you feel as though on your own property. This open-face, look-at-me type of gardening so prevalent is not at all conclusive to home life, and is founded not on generosity and unselfishness, but on false pride and a desire to "show off." Every true plant lover has at least a part of his grounds secluded; and somewhere on the premises may be found, if of sufficient extent, some suggestion of intricacy of design, without which no garden is very interesting or attractive unless in a spectacular sort of fashion, and the latter is debasing to the art. DEMAND FOR SHADE TREES Massachusetts Journal Recognizes the Value of Proper Adornment of the City's Streets. A real good hot summer day brings nome to Bridgeport the shame of shadeless streets. In this case it is a burning shame, and no mistake. We wonder what administration will develop the foresight and public spirit to take the steps necessary at the present for the assuring of shade trees for the future? Shade trees add to the value of property. They help to keep the city cool in summer. They conserve public health and comfort. They please the eye and are one of the greatest factors in the beautification of a city. People have an instinctive appreciation of trees—all the world knows that New Haven is a city of elms, and the most famous street in Germany is "Under den Linden." Poets have rhapsodized over trees, and Handel wrote his famous "Largo" in celebration of a plain tree, which afforded grateful shade to the composer. And the practical advantages of trees are equal to the esthetic advantages. But it is unnecessary to cite these facts, because practically everybody agrees. What is needed is the taking of definite steps to assure shade trees in the future and to counteract the lack of such a provision in the past.—Bridport (Mass.) Telegram. Wild Rose Hedge Wherever there is a wild rose helix it should be retained and encouraged. if the blossoms are of a good shade. Otherwise one should try to get in a more pleasing variety. Wild roses differ enormously in their color thus ranging all the way from very pale to a very deep and beautiful pink. Evidently there are a great many varieties among wild roses. There is a fixed belief that wild roses will not stand being picked. The writer one Sunday morning attended church in Minneapolis, where wild roses were twined in great profusion about the pillars and balconies of the church. They were there by the thousands and had been there for many hours. They retained their freshness throughout the day. The secret of their retaining freshness was that they had been gathered very early in the morning before sunrise and while covered with dew. Some varieties of wild roses seem to bloom till very late. The writer has picked wild roses as late as September, and in Cook county, too! Councilwoman at Work A fight against the unsightly, un sanitary and value wrecking billboards of Los Angeles has been reopened by Estelle Lawton Lindsey, councilwoman of that city. Mrs. Lindsey announced recently that she would at once renew the fight to bar the billboards from the residence districts and would ask the council to pass the ordinance barring them. This measure provides that the consent of a majority of the property owners in the same block must be obtained before a billboard may be erected in a residence district. The Chicago ordinance was the model for this Los Angeles bill and the supreme court of Illinois upheld the measure in Chicago, but the billboard posters appealed to the Supreme court of the United States and the case is still pending. Civic Co-operators Under the Chicago Industrial office plan, 2,500 persons have enrolled as civic co-operators, giving practical aid in civic helpfulness. It is said that not one instance of overofficiousness or meddlesome interference has been noted since the plan was inaugurated. Thwarted Elegance. "I tell you," said Farmer Cornton sel, "this military discipline is jest what my boy Josh needed." "They tell me his equipment wasn't much." "That's what I refer to. Josh was gettin' altogether too much in the notion that he had to be dressed up in fine clothes all the time." Worth Trying, Anyway.
