Lula Ma The Republican C Making W Progre Everything Indicates a Negroes all over the S The Republican Campaign Making Wonderful Progress in Missouri Everything Indicates a Sweeping Victory Party Success The Republican campaign in Missouri which has been begun under such splendid auspices by Judge Lamm, our nominee for governor and Walter S. Dickey, nominee for the United States senate, to swing the state back into the Republican column, was given a new and powerful impetus during the past week, by the effective work of the Auxiliary State committee, which is composed of prominent Negro Republican leaders from all parts of Missouri, under the leadership of Prof. Chas. G. Williams, of Boonville. The Auxiliary committee, which is composed of Dr. O. C. Queen, of Hanibal; F. W. Dabney, Kansas City; Burney Clark, Springfield: William Johnson and Spotwood Rice, A. D. Flemming and A. W. Lloyd, of St. Louis; Charles Baker, Farmington; Dr. J. P. Williams, Joplin; W. N Rowland, Chickiethe; M. O. Ricketts, St. Joseph; Chas. P. Covington, Louisiana and Dr. W. H. Laurie, of Cape Girardeau and Williams, chairman, after a conference at which the political situation in the state was thoroughly canvassed, organized a plan of campaign which provides for a series of Mass meetings to be held in every county and city of the state where Negroes reside in considerable num- REV. J. R. RANSOM, D. D., the stalwart leader of his people and popular pastor of the First A. M. E.

The campaign work among the Negro voters of the state is already in full swing in many sections of the state and additional speakers are be- "The Republican party is the ship, all else is the sea." These words, uttered more than a generation ago, by Frederick Douglass, in his great keynote speech in the campaign of 1888, are invested with a deeper significance today than when they were first uttered. In the light of recent political events, the words of the "sage of Montecello" seem prophetic. Four years ago, for the third time, the country was seduced into confiding the government to the care of the Democratic party, with the inevitable result that the wheels of progress have been stopped and failure and humiliation have followed. During the Cleveland administration, the efforts of the Democrats to put into effect their fallaceous notions of tariff reform brought on an industrial revolution that was followed by a financial panic, that clearly demonstrated the false theory of the tariff for revenue only to be inadequate to meet the demands and needs of this country. President Wilson, who slipped into the presidency four years ago, by a minority vote, while the Republicans were quarreling with each other, has proved the greatest failure of all, by his insincere pretensions and vacillating methods both as home and abroad. Not only has the Democratic tariff reform measure failed to reduce the cost of living, on the contrary it has had the opposite effect. While pretending to advocate peace, President The Kansas City Sun ing assigned almost daily, and reports from county chairman tell of the effective work that is being done for the cause of Republicanism by awakening enthusiasm and solidifying the party ranks for a landslide for the Republican nominees in November. The present campaign furnishes the first opportunity the Negroes have had to voice their public disapproval and condemnation of President Wilson's policy of segregation and elimination of the members of their race in the government departments at Washington, and the Negro orators who are campaigning in Missouri are not neglecting the opportunity to expose the duplicity of the president, who despite his public promises prior to his election four years ago to give the Negro fair play has disregarded every rule of fairness toward the face by removing from positions of honor and trust. Negroes who have served the government with efficiency through several administrations, including both terms of President Cleveland's terms of office, and appointing white men to fill their places. It is being shown that the president, not satisfied with introducing his obnoxious segregation practices in the various government departments at Washington and replacing nearly every prominent Negro holding a position of trust under the government by a white man, has carried his southern prejudices to the extreme limit of appointing a white man to represent the nation in the Negro Republic of Hayti and appointed white postmasters in the exclusive Negro communities of Mound Bayou, Miss., and Boley, Okla. On purely state issues Judge Henry Lamm making it very hard sliding for Col. Frederick D. Gardner, the Democratic candidate for governor, who finds it extremely embarrassing to extol Democratic rule in Missouri with the record of the present Democratic administration with all of its scandals and evidences of misrule like Banquo's ghost, refusing to "down." Walter S. Dickey, the Republican candidate for United States Senator is making a winning campaign against Senator Jim Reed, for whom he is making things uncomfortable by exposing his record in congress, where he posed as the enemy of the Negro in his advocacy of the amendment to the Immigration bill, in which he proposed to exclude immigrants from Africa from admission to the United States. Republican workers throughout the state are greatly encouraged by the enthusiasm and harmony that has characterized the campaign thus far among Republicans and expect an unbroken front in the party ranks when election day dawns, which will mean success at the polls for the Republican candidates and the redemption of Missouri from Democratic misrule by putting her permanently in the Republican column of states of the Union. Wilson has twice precipitated war with Mexico, sacrificing many American lives, and then in a most cowardly manner withdrawing our troops without even demanding satisfaction. The American flag has been trailed in the dust and by reason of Mr. Wilson's cowardly and insincere foreign policies the nation has been humiliated and made the laughing stock of the diplomats of the civilized world. If you judged by the ginger Judge Lamm in putting into this campaign, you would guess that he was a young man. And he is in spirit. The trouble with the state government at Jefferson City is so widespread and deep-seated that it can only be remedied by a complete cleanup. This must come in the form of the election of the entire Republican ticket headed by Judge Henry Lamm. An application of remedial doses in spots won't help. A full change, with an opening of all the books, is the imperative remedy. His treatment of the Negroes showed that he had taken into the White House all of the traditions and ideal of the Southern slave holder. In the organization of his cabinet he surrounded himself with advisers picked from that class of Democrats who have been life-long enemies of the principles and practices that have made the United States the greatest and wealthiest nation on earth, and began to undo the great work of a generation of capable government by the Republican party. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1916. A DELIGHTFUL STAG. A most enjoyable affair was the stag reception in honor of Mr. Charles D. Frazier of Grand Canyon, Ariz., at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. N. C. Crews, 2624 Highland avenue, last Tuesday evening from 9:00 to 12:00. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion and whist was inudged in by the guests throughout the evening. Delightful music was furnished for the occasion by the famous Imperial Trio, composed of Sandy Miller, Walter French and Arthur Williams, who elicited many encores by their magnificent singing and playing. At 11:00 o'clock the guests were served to a most delicious menu, after which brief addresses were delivered by Rev. Dr. William H. Thomas, Principal J. R. E. Lee and Secretary Robt. B. DeFrantz of the Y. M. C. A. with a very happy heartfelt response from the guest of honor. Prof. Robt. G. Jackson, the race's premier musician, played several highly enjoyable selections on the piano and all joined in singing "America" and "Auld Lang Syne," after which they departed for their several homes. Mrs. Crews was ably assisted in serving by the following prominent ladies: Mrs. G. W. Brown, Mrs. Emma Collins Payne, Mrs. G. A. Page, Mrs. D. A. Willis, Mrs. Cora Wells, Mrs. John Green, Mrs. D. C. Houston and Mrs. Lewis Collins. Guests Present. Dr. G. W. Brown Prof. J. E. Herriford Prof. J. R. E. Lee Prof. Wm. H. Dawle' Rev. Wm. H. Henry Compton Thomas Prof. J. E. Frantz Prof. G. A. Page Geo.

C. Crews Horace Bishop For many years Negroes had worked in friendship and with efficiency along side their white fellow employees in the various government departments, and no political party, prior to the advent of President Wilson has ever attempted to segregate the negro in departmental service. Even under Grover Cleveland, the Negro was considered part of official Washington, and proved himself to be a competent and dependable American. But when Woodrow Wilson entered the White House a well organized effort was immediately begun to harrass, humiliate and embarrass every Negro in the employ of the government, with a view of driving them out of their positions to make rom for white men and women. The next steps followed in natural sequence. New rules were adopted by the heads of departments segregating the Negro employees. Then followed the direct action of the president, in which he removed nearly every Negro from the employ of the government who held a position of any prominence or importance, throughout the country and in the foreign diplomatic service, and in every case appointing white men to fill their places, although there were many men among the Negroes who voted for him. President Wilson's administration has been characterized throughout by a sameless surrender to race prejudice that has not only forced him to eliminate the Negro from the political places of prominence to which they had won their way on their merits, but has caused him to commit himself to the policy of completely eliminating the Negro from the government service, which he will carry out if he is returned to power at the coming election. With such a prospect in view, I do not think it possible that a single Negro voter can be found who will be foolish enough to cast a ballot for Mr. Wilson or any other Democratic candidate. If the Negroes who were deceived four years ago, by Bishop Walters and Monroe Trotter into voting for Woodrow Wilson for president have had their eyes opened by the contemptuous treatment they have received at the hands of the president, they will not fail to align themselves solidly in the Republican ranks and cast their votes for Charles E. Hughes and the entire Republican ticket and aid in returning to power the grand old Republican party, to which we owe every vested-right we have ever enjoyed under the govern as citizens of the United States. There never has been an election at which the Negro had more at stake than the election of 1916. The election of Hughes and Fairbanks to the presidency and vice-presidency and the election of Walter S. Dickey as United States Senator from Missouri and the Republican candidates for congress, and also the election of that able and impartial jurist, Judge Henry Lamm, as governor of Missouri, means a happy return to peace, opportunity and prosperity to the Negro as well as to all other citizens of our common country. A victory at the polls for Democracy means humiliation, elimination and oppression for the Negro and industrial, financial and commercial disaster for the whole country. F NAL RALLY REV. WILLIAM H.

Judge Porterfield in his address at Lincoln High school on Sunday afternoon, September 17th, acquainted us with the damnable facts that confront our boys and girls, and more especially those of cur boys who err in their early childhood. While their waywardness is very often due to their misfortune in being born of irresponsible parents, and not being properly reared, the fact remains that through no very real fault of their own these conditions force them into becoming charges of the State Reformatory, and deprive them at a dependable age, and for all time of a clear record of good citizenship. I cannot but believe that those citizens of Kansas City who listened to the story of what becomes of our boys who are adjudged incorrigible, or who have the misfortune, in some moment of mischevious impulse, to overstep the bounds of the law, will consider the question of righting this monstrous wrong being suffered by our rising generation with minds open to the gravity of the situation. These children have not been dealt with justly; they are often at a disadvantage from the moment they first begin the struggle of life, many of them, and even then, some children will not succumb to the same conditions any more than we would expect all climates to be good for the same diseases. Is it possible that the Negroes of Kansas City feel no responsibility for the present conditions at the Reform school? The present ratio is of two colored boys to one white, when, according to actual statistics there should be four white to one colored offender. The McCune farm acts as intermediary for the former class however, and is a wise alternative that should by rights be extended to the Negro boys, particularly those of tender years. Is it not an awful thought that our boys at the age of eight years must perforce be sent to the Reform school to associate wit hmore hardened criminals who are steeped and dyed in Before Leaving for Conference on Chapel, All Day.

We are literally urging them on, instead of investigating their condition and making some concerted effort to better the existing circumstances. We cannot hope for the white men to do for us what we should do for ourselves; we must not expect them to feel the same vital interest in the welfare and future of our boys and girls that we do ourselves. These conditions are our own; this paramount problem is our own, to be solved by our own efforts. It can be started by private means, or by a movement all along the line. Let the high people get behind it and make it move! Let us do something to correct the lives and mitigate the face of these dependable street urchins, and do it now! I can think of nothing more deplorable than the spectacle of these deer little souls doomed to such a life, and so unjustly. Cannot something be done? Won't somebody try? Oh! let us have clean hands and hearts in making the effort for a new and better order of things. Oh, for somebody who is unafraid, who is not looking for commercialism, of which there is already too much in public undertakings! Above all, do not let it become a political pull, but rather an altogether pull, for the negroes, by the Negroes, and for the good of the community. PLAN A VOCATIONAL SCHOOL. Plans for a vocational school near Independence for young negroes soon will be drawn up. Back of the enterprise is Julius Rosenwald, formerly with Sears, Roebuck & Company of Chicago. Francis E. Parker, 604 Kemper building, is to be the architect and Bishop Chivers of Mount Vernon, Ill., is to represent the philanthropist. The exact location of the school has not been decided upon. It will comprise about sixteen acres and suitable buildings will be erected thereon. SECOND BAPTIST CHOIR BANQUETS. In Honor of Organist and Husband, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick D. Wright. The banquet took place at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Oavid Allen, 2313 Highland avenue, on Friday evening, September 29. The guests assembled at the home of Miss Lessie King, 2305 Highland avenue, as the committee had decided not one should know or see, but all should be allowed to gaze with wonder on the most extensive and superb decorations. At 9 o'clock they were called by phone to come at once to the banquet hall. Miss Willene Webb played the Blue Danube waltz as they entered the house and presided at the piano, throughout the evening. This greeted their wandering view, the parlor and dining rooms were profusely decorated with carnations, roses, evergreens and asters. In the banquet hall a string of electric lights with miniature Japanese lanterns thereon reaching from one end of the room to the other. The table down the center of which was a garden of flowers with a good fairy statue at each end, a dozen lighted candles made a most exquisite sight. Each took their places as their names were called and twenty-seven were seated before their place cards. All were dressed in evening costumes, also the three waitresses were white uniforms and dainty caps which were appropriate for the occasion. Toastmistress—Mrs. Julia Morrison who in her usual eloquent and dramatic way delivered the speech of the evening. Solo—"A Birthday" by Miss King, which thrilled the entire personnel and at the end she was given an enthusiastic applause to which she responded by singing a song dedicated to their departure. We regret the loss of our organist, Mrs. Lula Knox Wright, who has served for four years and who won the sincere affections of her di rectress and each and every member MENU Fruit cocktail, fried chicken and brown gravy, mashed potatoes, candied sweet potatoes, pink tea, potatoes, split biscuit, fruit salad, roll ice cream with strawberry heart, individual cakes. The evening was spent delightfully and each member departed to their various homes, stating that words were inadequate to express their feelings. Fred F. Fitchue was the decorator. Committee: Katie Price, Cora D. Williams, Lella M. Allen, Chairman, assisted by Mrs. C. H. Smith. JOHN MITCHELL LECTURES The lecture Tuesday evening, September 26, at the Second Baptist Church, by Mr. John Mitchell of Richmond, Va., editor of the Richmond Planet and President of the Mechanics' Bank, was largely attended and was very interesting. He urged the Negroes of this city to open a bank assuring them that there was not only a sufficient number but that they had among them sufficient intellect to conduct the same. A number of prominent men were in the receiving line. Light refreshments were served and the affair was a highly enjoyable one. Much credit is due Dr. Bacote for giving the people of Kansas City an opportunity to hear this distinguished gentleman who is the only Negro member of the American Bankers' Association. President Wilson's domestic policies have proven even more odious than his foreign policies. Speaking of himself, shortly after his election, Mr. Wilson said he had a one-track mind, and he has proved it. He has shown himself unequal to the task of solving the complex questions and issues that are continually arising for solution in a great government such as ours, and has stirred the country with factional strife by his inability to take an impartial view of matters or to set aside his own personal prejudices.

WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN PUT RIGHTEOUSNESS BEFORE PEACE. The supporters of Mr. Wilson say that the American people should vote for him because he has kept us out of war. It is worth while to remember that this is a claim that cannot be advanced either on behalf of Washington or of Lincoln. Neither Washington nor Lincoln kept us out of war, Americans, and the people of the world at large, now severance the memories of these two men, because, and only because, they put righteousness before peace. They abhorred war. They shunned unjust or wanton or reckless war. But they possessed that stern valor of patriotism which bade them put duty first; not safety first; which bade them accept war rather than an unrighteous and disastrous peace. There were peace-at-any-price men in the days of Washington. They were the Tories. There were peace-at-any-price men in the days of Lincoln. They were the Copperheads. The men who now with timid hearts and quavering voices praise Mr. Wilson for having kept us out of war, are the spiritual heirs of the Tories of 1776, and the Copperheads of 1864. The men who followed Washington at Trenton and Yorktown, and who suffered with him through the winter at Valley Forge; and the men who wore the Blue under Grant, and the Gray under Lee; were men of valor, who sacrificed everything to serve the right as it was given them to see the right. They spurned with contemptuous indignation the counsels of the feeble and cowardly folk who in their day spoke for peace-at-any-price.—From the speech of Colonel Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in behalf of Mr. Hughes. REV. WM. ALFORD. the pastor of the Second Baptist Church of Plattsburg, Mo., a native of Kentucky, was born near the close of the war in Mason county, Kentucky, moving with his parents to Delaware, Ohio, when very young, where he attended the public schools. At an early age he was converted to Christ, ordained as a Missionary Baptist at Richwood, Ohio, and licensed to preach March, 1811. In 1882, he entered the Wesleyan University and spent two years there. In 1885 he was called to the pastorate of the First Baptist Church in London, Ohio; in 1887 ordained as an elder of the Missionary Baptist Church and in 1894 was called to take charge of the Bethel Baptist Church, Maysville, Ky., and in the three years of his pastorate there three hundred souls were added to the Church. Since coming West in 1897 Rev. Alford has pastored some of the leading Baptist Churches. In 1912 the degree Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him by Princeton University, Princeton, Ind. At present Dr. Alford, as pastor of the Second Baptist Church, is doing a great work at Plattsburg, Mo., and the spiritual and social conditions there are greatly improved. During the past year the Church under his wise and aggressive leadership raised 1,356 dollars. NEW QUARTERS FOR TABOR. Prof. A. R. Chinn, C. G. M., of the International Order of Twelve, was in the city this week on official business. While here he conducted the dedicatory ceremonies of the new meeting place which has been specially erected for the order at 1413 Vine street. Prof. Chinn says this is one of the best meeting places that he has ever seen and the Taborians are naturally elated over their good fortune in securing the quarters upon very favorable terms. During the ceremonies which were held on Monday evening a fine enlarged portrait of the Chief Grand Mentor was presented by a number of admiring friends. It is again reported that a new Tuskegee is to be launched upon a site already purchased near Independence and back by a large gift from Mr. Julius Rosenwald. The Democratic doctrine that a Negro is all right in his place evidently infers that public office is not his place, a decent place to live is not his place, nor is it his place to occupy a position which affords him a dignified means of livelihood.

Under the spur of urgent industrial demands it seems entirely likely that hundreds of thousands of Negroes will be transferred to the North, and thus shift to some extent the center of gravity of the problem. "I beg to call attention to the importance of securing adequate provision for safeguarding the moral and social life of these people suddenly thrust into a new environment. The immigrants who, previous to the European war, had docked to our shores in unprecedented numbers, in addition to their racial assimilability, have been assisted in adjusting themselves to their new relations by the Christian churches and other agencies playing beneficially upon them. The Negro laborer from the South has no such helpful influences. "Coming from an environment of social and civil restriction into a section of complete public and civil freedom, he will, naturally enough, first, mistake liberty for license unless he is carefully safeguarded and encouraged in the right direction. The captains of industry are apt to be shortsighted. Immediate economic blindness them to the evil consequences that may follow in its wake. "Should the influx of Negro laborers to the North, without proper restriction and control, be allowed to prejudice public opinion and thus reproduce Southern proscription in the Northern states, the last state of the race would be worse than the first. The Negro church where these laborers are at work should be encouraged to reach out and lay hold upon every workman who comes to the Northern communities. Such agencies as the Young Men's Christian association should be established and encouraged. Tried and experienced social workers should move among them with a view to relating them sensibly to their new environment. "This new industrial movement, which opens up untold possibilities for the race, illustrates anew the importance of the higher education through which a body of trained leaders may be prepared for the arduous tasks of guiding aright the masses of their race amid the dangers and vicissitudes of life. As an illustration of this principle, the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes has recently been able to find places on the tobacco plantations of Connecticut for 700 Negro students. I have, personally, placed over 75 students of Howard university in these tobacco fields. Experience has more than abundantly justified the wisdom of sending with each group of students an instructor to advise and encourage and direct them in their new relationship. "The economic opportunity for the race is, indeed, a large one. But great also are the moral responsibilities. Let us hope that the Negro will be encouraged to receive and appreciate the advantage of both." William H. Holtzclaw, founder and principal of the Utica Normal and Industrial institute, Utica, Miss., and considered by the late Booker T. Washington as one of the most prominent graduates of Tuskegee, has issued an To help Negro boys become practical farmers and to assist Negro girls in becoming competent housewives the United States department of agriculture, in co-operation with the state colleges, is organizing throughout the South Farm Makers' club for rural Negro children. This activity, begun experimentally last year by the office of extension work. South, has grown rapidly and already is thoroughly organized in Virginia, North Carolina, Florida and Mississippi. The work also is being carried on to some extent in each of the other southern states. The chief object of these clubs is to encourage Negro farmers, particularly in the cotton sections, to raise some food instead of devoting their entire attention to a single crop. In the clubs for boys the typical plan is to encourage and help the members to use an acre, one-half of which is devoted to corn, one-fourth to potatoes and one-fourth to peanuts. This teaches a desirable rotation and at the same time furnishes three food products for human consumption, and two that are useful for cattle or hogs. The best conductors of lightning, placed in the order of conductivity, are metals, gas coke, graphite, solutions of salts, acids and water. The best non-conductors, ending with the most perfect insulation, are India rubber, gut-tapercha, dry air and gases, wool, ebonite, silk, glass, wax, sulphur, resins and paraffin.

With the installation of a new light and power plant at Tuskegee, that institution has turned over to Uttica its old plant. The cost of setting this up will total $4,000. Of this amount $1,500 has already been raised, largely through an appeal published in the Boston Transcript last March by some northern friends of Mr. Holtzclaw's school. Work of installation has already been started, and Mr. Holtzclaw now asks for the necessary balance so that the plant may be ready for the opening of the school in the fall. Three hundred delegates were in attendance at the opening of the thirty-sixth annual session of the national Baptist convention, a Negro organization which is meeting in Kansas City the second time in 20 years. It is an organization representing the religious activities of the Negro Baptist churches of all America and its possessions. The sessions are being held in Armory hall, Fourteenth and Michigan avenue, and will continue to noon on Monday. The convention supervises 20,000 Negro Baptist churches with an estimated membership of 2,750,000. At this session the establishment of a theological college at Nashville, Tenn., will be considered. The church conducts 50 denominational schools, mostly in the South. Tuskegee institute does a useful work in publishing the Negro Year Book, the fourth annual edition of which now is available. The book contains nearly 500 pages, a remarkable evidence in itself of the growing activities of the race and the increasing interest in its efforts at improvement. One cannot fail to be impressed by the record of substantial and most creditable achievement on the part of both individuals and organizations. In the volume are found interesting discussions of such topics as the Negro and segregation, the Negro and woman suffrage, the Negro and prohibition. The book is indispensable to those who wish to be well informed on a most important phase of American life. It is said that Norway (Me.) men during the Civil war received more commissions in the army than men from any other town of its size In the state. Among them were one brevet major general, one brigadier general, two brevet brigadier generals, three colonels, ten captains, five lieutenants, one chaplain, one assistant surgeon and one regimental quartermaster. Recent investigations of Korea's iron mines have led to the prediction that they can be made to supply all domestic demands and in addition supply Japan with 1,000,000 tons of metal annually. Scientists have estimated that the heat received from the sun by the earth in a year is sufficient to melt a layer of ice 100 feet thick covering the entire globe. A museum of the horse, presenting a complete history of that animal from the earliest known period to the present, has been established in Paris. The girl members of these clubs receive practical instruction in gardening, canning, cooking and housekeeping. According to reports the county superintendents of schools and teachers of Negro elementary schools are supporting the work actively and state agricultural colleges and the technical schools established for the race are active co-operators in the larger phases of the work. For a number of years bricks have been made from lava rocks deposited by ancient flows in certain parts of the Hawaiian islands. Now it is believed that a station erected near one of the active volcanoes could by means of an endless chain of buckets transport the molten lava directly from the pit to the station, where it could be poured into molds. The tension members of a truss frame that supports a flat car of unusual capacity on a European railroad are formed of steel wire cables instead of the usual rods or bars. Miss Gertrude Isabelle Butler of Gloucester, Mass., has never been absent or tardy in the 13 years she spent at primary, grammar and high schools.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1916 In Woman's Realm One of the most interesting gowns among those displayed at the season's initial style show tempered the airy frivolity of net skirts with a rich overgarment of embroidery. This overgarment was a bodice and panel combined, and was sleeveless. The colorings were in the blues, greens, bronze and black of the peacock feather, which inspired the designer in a courageous effort to imitate the gorgeous achievement of nature. The effect was splendid, and a big peacock feath- L THE I er fan finished off the toilette. Comparison was therefore easy and the embroidery did not suffer. Judging from this frock, skirts remain as full as they have been, but are not artificially distended. They are a little lengthened, and this feature of the new modes may be emphasized as the season advances. The bodice is in reality an extended girdle, and the fate of the evening bodice appears still to hang in the balance. A few daring models are displayed in which there is next to nothing at the back of the waist. In the beautiful frock pictured the details of the toilette include a little silk variety bag. These small, brilliant necessities of life seem to be with us always in one form or another, and they are attached to fans, umbrella and parasol handles, walking a choice, this wide variety promises a becoming a type of figure, and the may be experimented with test their effect upon the two very practical coats in the illustration.

Even garters are required to support small cases made of ribbon to match them. Those who are in touch with present styles need not be told that there is an immense variety in the designs in which practical coats are made. Certain style features are present in all of them.

In colors, besides the staple, standard shades that are always correct, there are popular and stylish new colors. Among them the dark, purplish reds, mole, and certain peculiar greens are important. Now that the time has come to make J a choice, this wide variety in design promises a becoming coat for every type of figure, and the newer colorings may be experimented with, at least to test their effect upon the complexion. Two very practical coats are shown in the illustration. Besides coats of this kind there are those that hang free from neck to hem, and cape coats, to be considered. The detachable cape is featured on some of the smart late models. Comfort to the wearers is assured in the large turnover collars and the ample pockets that are everywhere in evidence. Except for buttons, there is very little in the way of ornament on the tasteful coats designed for everyday wear, and even these are sparingly used. But this is because ornaments are not needed. Attention is centered on new departures in the cut of col- 10 lars, pockets, belts, and in the construction of the garment. Julius Bottomly Accessories of Fashion.

TO SAVE BIRD SANCTUARY Audubon Societies Working to Prevent Threatened Destruction of Reservation in Oregon. The destruction of one of the largest, if not the largest, federal bird reservation in the United States is threatened, according to an announcement made by T. Gilbert Pearson of New York city, secretary of the National Association of Audubon societies. The reservation threatened is at Lake Malheure, in southeastern Oregon, and is a breeding place for hundreds of thousands of wild ducks, wild geese and other water fowl. Application has been made to the federal authorities for permission to drain the lake in order to secure the land it covers. The lake is six miles wide by 15 miles long, and is about six feet deep. It supplies an ideal breeding place for wild water fowl, Mr. Pearson says, and, therefore, it attracts wild geese and ducks from Canada in large numbers. Its destruction, he declares, will leave thousands of young water fowl without a home. Secretary Pearson has taken the matter up with the officials of the general land office, who have promised to investigate. It is understood that those who plan the destruction of the bird reservation have already secured the $\infty$-operation of the state land board of Oregon. For that reason, Mr. Pearson regards the situation as imminent and believes it will require quick and earnest appeals to the secretary of the interior from those who believe in the protection of wild birds, to prevent the destruction of the colony. "There are about five million guns in the United States," said Mr. Pearson, "and the only way to preserve our migratory game birds is to have these sanctuaries—areas in which they can never be killed, under any circumstances." Improved Poorhouses for Wounded Improved Poorhouses for Wounded. A significant sign of the times is suggested in the allocation of certain poorhouses throughout the United Kingdom for the wounded soldiers. In Dickens' days the "Workus" was synonymous with a social pest. It bred crime, disease, and hastened the death of thousands. In recent years the workhouse has arisen like palaces all over the country, with spacious grounds, walks, gardens, recreation rooms, and fitted with every modern facility for insuring the prolongation and comfort of life. Now, they are being equipped as hospitals for the gallant British Tommy. Which fact demonstrates the splendid service that the old age pension act has been to the country. The war, of course, had given a temporary blow to poverty, and made it impossible for the casual ward professional to trade upon the lack of work and opportunity. The name of poorhouse will be expunged from the new hospitals. $10,000 Echo to Dog's Bark That the bark of a dog may have a $10,000 echo was indicated in the supreme court of Brooklyn, when Richard Schoenewerg applied successfully for permission to amend the complaint in his suit against Henry Johnson, a neighbor, who had him arrested six years ago In an effort to put a silencer on the dog. In December, 1910, Schoenewerg was acquitted and brought suit for $10,000 damages. When the suit first came up Johnson, an English instructor in the boys' high school, said the board of health had advised the arrest and moved for dismissal on the ground that the complaint did not state whether the action was for false arrest or malicious prosecution. The purpose of the new motion is to amend the complaint to specify malicious prosecution. Theater Fires. The first of the many terrible theater fires which have caused the death of such a multitude of amusement seekers occurred 303 years ago, when Shakespeare's Globe theater in London was completely consumed by the flames. The house was crowded to its capacity to witness the play of "Henry VIII," but there was no panic and the audience escaped unhurt. In the early part of the last century three London playhouses—the Surrey, the Covent Garden and the Drury Lane—were destroyed by fire, and in 1811 the first of the disastrous theater fires of America occurred in Richmond, when 70 persons, including Governor Smith, perished in the flames. The Iroquois theater fire in Chicago was the most terrible of this character, 573 persons, mostly women and children, having been burned or trampled to death in that horrible 1903 disaster.—New York World. Y. M. G. A. Service Chicago commerce reports that the Y. M. C. A. is discharging an important civic service this summer in the giving of 52 free illustrated lectures on civic, patriotic and sanitary subjects in six of the parks under, the control of south park commissioners, in the stockyards territory, these parks being Cornell, Davis, Hardin, Mark White, Fuller and Sherman. This service ended September 3. Many thousands of citizens are being both entertained and instructed by this work. Such subjects are illustrated as the fly pest, milk supply, safety first, Americanization, tuberculosis, infant welfare, dentistry, typhoid, life in the army, Panama canal, family budget and savings and Chicago beautiful. Peculiar Action of Light A curious difference in the light projected from the London anti-aircraft searchlights seems to be due to varying atmospheric conditions. Sometimes the beam shows uniform illumination throughout its entire length, then the beam is mostly faint with bright knots or patches at irregular intervals, and at other times only a bright patch in the clouds is seen, the course of the light being invisible. Extraordinary Indeed. Arthur had been asked to write a description of a battle for his school work. Among other things was this amazing declaration: "From all sides came hair curdling yellas." NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Uncle Sam's Lights That Signal Storm Warnings WASHINGTON.—Uncle Sam's lighthouse service is not the only one of his agencies that display lights at night for the information and welfare of the mariner. Whenever a storm is brewing along the consts or over the inland waterways colored lights twinkle forth from hundreds of special storm-warning stations of the weather bureau, combined in such a way as to furnish navigators with specific information that will forearm them.

The new system was worked out after experiments carried on by the instrument experts of the weather bureau on the Potomac below Washington under various weather conditions. These experiments brought out the fact that lights, to be seen by the naked eye as separate bright objects, must be approximately four feet apart for each mile the observer is distant. This information was made use of in designing the new towers and in arranging the placement of the signal lamps. At the same time the instrument experts experimented with various lights and decided to make use of electric bulbs of the new gas-filled type to increase still further the efficiency of the newly equipped stations. How Oscar Underwood Folds and Stamps a Letter How Oscar Underwood Folds and Stamps a Letter ONE of the funny sights of Washington is Senator Oscar Underwood in the act of folding up a letter.

He would no more be a party to a letter carelessly folded than he would wear the same collar all week. First he folds the sheet over, matches the corners right down to an infinitesimal fraction of a hair's breadth, and carefully creases the paper in the middle. Then comes the most difficult part. He must determine, just with his eye, how to make three additional folds, each one of exactly the same size. Having done that, Underwood stares at the finished product a mo- if he discovered one edge protruding on others it would make him unhappy.

And the only thing that might ever ruffle that calmness would be a lack of neatness.

Good Hunting Ground for the Amateur Botanist Good Hunting Ground for the Amateur Botanist THE environs of Washington are an excellent hunting ground for the amateur botanist, for they are full of varieties of plants—trees, shrubs, wild flowers, mosses and ferns. To hold even the commonest of these varieties in one's mind is a stupendous feat, but once accomplished, it leads ever onward.

Collection of Meteorites in National Museum N CONSIDERING the wonders of the universe, have you ever realized how conspicuous among them are the meteorites, those wonderful messages, dropped from the sky, for one to wonder at and study? They are the only material objects which come to the earth from the vast outer world. In the collection shown in the new building of the National museum in this city is a remarkably fine exhibit of meteorites. It includes complete meteorites ranging in size from the merest pebbles to great bowlerlike masses, and casts reproducing giant forms like that of Bacubirito, which has been estimated to weigh 25 tons, and still rests where it fell in Mexico. The National museum has recently issued a handbook and descriptive catalogue of the meteorite collection in the museum, written by Dr. George P. Merrill, head curator of geology. Although meteorites have presumably fallen since time immemorial, a great deal of skepticism was felt at first by both the popular and scientific minds regarding the possibilities of stones falling from space. So great was this skepticism that the examples preserved in the public museums were once hidden or discarded, the custodians fearing to make laughing stocks of themselves. bk and descriptive catalogue of the meteorien by Dr. George P.

G. Chapman) "I am not the girl for you, and I shall not spoil your life by trying to make myself believe that I am," spoke Huldah Brill. "But maybe you love—like me a little, Huldah?" flustered honest Bryan Wylie anxiously. He was so dead in earnest that a sharp pang struck the heart of the girl. At that moment, hud he pressed his suit, so appealing and eloquent was his manner and expression, he would have won. Resolutely, however, she turned from the temptation. Hers had been a hard, practical experience. Young as she was, Huldah had seen only the seamy side of life. Her uncle and aunt, with whom she lived, had led a sordid, loveless existence. Their system, the atmosphere about them had stifled and chilled the ingenious instincts latent in the soul nature of their adopted charge. So, when Bryan Wylie continued to show her attentions, and, in his wellmeaning and blundering way, spoke of an engagement, Huldah closed her heart stubbornly to sentiment. She felt that her experience had made her not like other girls. She recognized fidelity, sterling worth in this sincere sutor just on the threshold of a business career. If he made no progress she would be a burden. If he scored a success, there were brighter, prettier girls who would fit adorn the social circle in which he would move. "Then — then," submitted Bryan, after a pause, "what am I to do?" Huldah tried to laugh lightly, but it A woman in a hat stands in front of a desk, looking at a man in a suit who is writing on a piece of paper. He Did Not Appear to Be in Love With His Business. was a hollow mockery. There were actual tears in her eyes. It was with extreme difficulty that she composed and commanded her turbulent mind. "Bryan," she said, seriously at last, "I am so much older than you in worldly wisdom, I will give you advice like a sage." "It isn't advice I want," mourned the young man apathetically—it's love, your love, no one's else. If I can't have that, of course, I cannot stay here. It would be too trying. "Yes, Bryan," advised Huldah deliberately, "go away and find yourself." "Am I lost, then?" propounded Bryan, with a ghost of a smile. "I think you are," asserted Huldah. "You have surrendered to your environment too readily. You have looked no farther than this dead, dull community. You have taken the first business position presented. You are ready to tie yourself for life to the first girl who takes your fancy. Don't you see you are not doing justice to yourself? You are worthy of the right kind of a wife." "You are my only kind!" vehemently declared Bryan. But Huldah was obdurate. With all her hard, practical sense if she had stopped to analyze the situation, she would have realized that she was perpetrating a mutual injustice—she would have recognized that it was actual love for Bryan that caused her to distrust her own ability to make him happy, and, therefore, ordinary rules did not apply. So Bryan Wylle went away disconsolate, and Huldah returned to a daily dreary grind of her monotonous life, thinking only of duty. Within a year both her uncle and aunt died. Their estate was trivial. When it was all over, the family lawyer handed Huldah a few hundred dollars, and she went to the city. Huldah found a cheap, but pleasant, room in the home of a poor widow La Guayra Not Beautiful. La Guayra is the gateway of Venezuela. Through this little port passes everything, from cowhides shipped to New York to diplomats bound for Caracas. La Guayra is the warden of the shipping, the connecting link between the capital and the world. Since La Guayra's principal excuse for existence is found in the ships that come and go, it is altogether fitting and proper that the life and architecture of the town should center on the water front. At its widest the city is only a few blocks wide and it is built on the sloping beach in a long curve that fronts throughout its length on the busy wharves. The impression given is that of some great outdoor theater, engrossed in the doings below. The old castle on the hillside is falling in ruins, even the bulriling is not in as good repair as it might be, but the great concrete breakwater, one of the most daring of engineering works in South America in its day, is kept groomed up to the minute. The day of castles is past, but the usefulness lady, and marked out a prospective business career. Her idea was to find office work. She wrote a fair hand, was bright and intelligent, could pick up stenography and in time graduate into a good-class office assistant. She was doomed to disappointment at first, however. Her lack of knowledge of typewriting stood in her way. She sought employment in less pretentious fields. One day she was passing a five-and-ten-cent store, when she noticed in its window a sign: "Lady Assistant Wanted." The store was on a side street, one door removed from a main thoroughfare, and did not present any charm of locality or attractiveness as to the window display. However, Hulah entered the place, weared with seeking a position and glad to take anything that would introduce her into city business ways. A man, apparently the proprietor of the place, stood behind a counter figuring over some bills. He did not appear to be in love with his business, judging from the indifferent expression on his face. He looked up. "What is it, miss?" he asked, and then, explosively: "Oh, Huldah!" She would have retreated, but it was too late. The storekeeper was Bryan Wylie, and he came out animatedly to greet her. Her quick eye told her that he was a disappointed man and she lingered. He told her so himself, after she had consented to sit down and chat over old times. Her dreary tale was soon recited. That of Bryan was quite as depressing. He had come to the city, had found work and saved some money. A chance had offered to invest in the present store. He had done so, to his cost. "No trade, no capital. If I had it, I've made a bad mess of it all," he admitted bitterly. "I'm going to try and sell out and go back to a salary. Huldah, it gives me new life to meet an old friend like you!" "If I could help you out, I would be glad. Bryan," spoke Huldah frankly. He jumped at the suggestion. He could pay six dollars a week. "Remember," she said, "you and I are to forget everything but business." "You may. I can't!" he answered her frankly. "I shall always love you, but no word of it shall pass my lips to offend you." Huldah entered upon her duties. She was at the store at eight in the morning and left at six in the afternoon. Bryan got a chance to work temporarily as a traveling salesman in the suburbs. Huldah advised him to accept the position, and let her see what she could make out of the little store, "Why, Huldah!" he exclaimed, as he returned from his first trip; "what does this mean?" For, marvelously, magically, the space had been doubled and took in two entrances, one on the main street. "I had a chance to get a lease of the store back of this and risked it," explained Huldah. "The people you buy from were willing to double the stock on long terms of payment, and we are keeping three clerks, and last week we made one hundred dollars clear!" "We? You!" cried the delighted Bryan. "Oh, Huldah! I am a sad failure, and you are a wonderful success in business. Huldah, you told me once to go to the city and "find myself." I couldn't outside of the ordinary humdum worker; but you, Huldah—you have found me, indeed!" The store thrived, and when Bryan returned to the city after his trips it was like some joyous home-coming. One day he said to Huldah: "I spoke about your finding me. Please don't let me get lost again!" and that broke the ice toward further discussion. Huldah forgot the restriction concerning the subject of love, for she was convinced at last that Bryan needed her and would never tire of her dear presence. British Museum. In the early years of the British museum, whose treasures have been locked up from the general public till after the war, the days of opening were fewer than now. Three days a week were considered enough. Economy ruled then also. No generous grant of public money aided the foundation of the museum. A public lottery provided the sinews of war. By this means £95,000 was raised, £20,000 of which went to Sir Hans Sloane's executors, £10,000 to the earl and countess of Oxford for the Haleian manuscripts and £10,000 to Lord Hallifax for Montague House. When the pantechnicons paid for by the proceeds of the lottery had done their duty in the removal of the curiosities, Montague House was thrown open with great ceremony on January 15, 1759.—London Chronicle. Law Compels Bible Reading. Three states in the Union have enacted laws compelling the daily reading of the Bible in the public schools, namely: Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. The Pennsylvania law requires the reading of at least ten verses and the New Jersey law requires at least five. — Northwestern Christian Advocate. of the breakwater that makes the harbor is only beginning. The long concrete dike runs out to sea for 2,000 feet, rising half a dozen yards above the waves that beat its sides, turning what was one of the most dangerous of anchors into one of the safest. The little city itself is neither beautiful nor particularly pleasant to live in. The streets are narrow, the houses mean, except for a few on the principal business street. The heat is always intense and the well-to-do in La Gunyra generally live in one of the cooler seaside hamlets up or down the coast. The picturesque peak of Pieacho towering back of the town is largely responsible for the heat, for besides decorating the landscape, the mountain acts as a reflector for the sunlight. Wherever you go in Gunyra your road is pretty sure to lead back to the wharves. Almost always there is a ship there, loading or unloading, the swarthy porters hustling the bales of hides, the bags of coffee and cacao, with a stolid indifference to the heat that almost knocks the idle onlooker down. THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 7. 1916 The HOME BEAUTIFUL Flowers and Shrubbey Their Care and Cultivation ```markdown ``` Francis Scott Key Rose—the Flowers Are Unusually Large. THE BIG OAK Huge Linden Located on the Outskirts of Staffelstein, Bavaria, Said to Be 500 Years Old. FAVORITE ROSES BY ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN. There is absolutely nothing in the realm of esthetic culture that is so thoroughly dominated by personal favor as the selection of a pet rose. Every lover of the garden and of the home beautiful selects a favorite rose almost as soon as the interest of flower culture is born. I have been much interested in the season's favorites and the reasons given by rose enthusiasts for their likes and dislikes. They offer to the student and the culturist valuable hints in the care and selection of any favorite, because what one may find as an argument for his pet bloom may be equally true in any number of cases and many of my readers may be able readily to meet the claims advanced by others and find equal merit for their own selections. The delicate formation, coloring and perfume of the rose all combine to make its study especially worth white. Intelligent choice of a favorite often marks the flower-lover as gifted—and Y Ophelia Roses. a selection that does not follow popular fancy always reveals an amateur who is not superficial. For instance, the enthusiasts are now experimenting with the Gruss aus Teptilac, a lovely hybrid tea, to find out how well it will stand the winter in northern climates. Personally, I think that the rose is sufficiently hardy to stand anything save an unusually cold zone. It has the advantage, too, of being a prolific producer of blooms. From May until November the raiser of the pretty tea rose is rarely without some sweet evidence of the possession. It can be planted in the sunshine or in the shade, under hanging trees or in the open, and a little severe pruning in the early spring is about all that the delicate rose demands. There is something in the rose that binds the present to the past, and one feels like the owner of a rare old bit of period furniture when it forms part of the garden. Those who do not believe the ancient adage that every rose must have its thorns are showing much partiality this year for the Paul Neyron. Every month it produces its flowers, with the blossoms on long stems and leaves of a beautiful dark green. If cut when in bud, the flowers have a remarkable lasting quality. As I said, it is almost thornless, and its flower develops nearly every shade of pink. It needs little save proper planting in soil free from weeds and fertilizing with old manure. Harrison's Yellow, an Austrian brier, is also one of the favorite flowers of this season's culturists. It is a sturdy member of the rose family, possessing the hardiness that makes such an appeal to the rose lover. Harrison's Yellow is no pampered child of luxury. It "just grows up," like Topsy, if it has the least chance. The buds of clear, pure yellow begin to show in May. The foliage is fine and small, with a pleasing green. A lazy man or woman ought to adore the type, for it needs practically no pruning, unless one wishes to limit the growth. The flowers are put forth on wood of the previous season, so that if pruning is to be done at all it ought to be done only after flowering. The Killarney rose is also being given a prominent place in the year's planting. Its freedom from disease and from insects commend it to many of the best growers, and the plum-and-white flowers have an odor of wonderful character. They should be set out in the spring as soon as the danger of frost is over. Dig a hole two feet square by two feet deep, place a few stones at the bottom for drainage, and then fill with good soil, mixed with well-rotted manure. If large roses are wanted, cut the buds so that only a few remain. Cutting the long stems improves the plant. After thorough blooming, prune back freely, and the bush will remain healthy and will increase in size. They require covering before the frost appears. THE BIGGEST GERMAN TREE The German empire has produced many things that have held records for magnitude but none of them hold more interest than the empire's biggest tree. It is a huge linden located on the outskirts of the village of Staffelstein, in Bavaria. The folklore and history of the region say that the tree is five hundred years old. The authorities have filled the hollow interior with cement to strengthen and preserve the landmark. It is 80 feet in circumference. During the Napoleonic invasion of Germany it is related that the French Marshal Berthier rode his horse into the hollow of the tree and turned the animal around there. TRIMMED WITH FUR Apropos of felt hats, I must record the fact that "cut felt" hats are an absolute rage in Paris and also at Blairitz, writes a correspondent from the latter place. These hats are "cut everywhere." The border of the brim is cut and left without binding; the only trimming consists of a band and flat bow of felt with "cut" edges. These hats are charming in all the soft neutral tints; pale beige, silver gray, gray-blue and so on. Directoire shapes are being revived, and while crowns get higher and higher, very narrow brims are all the fashion. Nearly all the new sailor shapes in felt have soft crowns which are cleverly manipulated to give the impression of a double band around the crown. In some cases wide bands of black or dark blue ribbon are introduced. The Latest Blarritz Novelty Is the Hat of Cut Felt With Hatter's Band to Match. but the correct thing at the present moment is the felt hat trimmed with fur. Lewis is showing some very eccentric hats in his Biarritz establishment. This milliner has the courage of his convictions and such a large following that almost any model launched by him becomes popular. In his showrooms I have seen a good many directore toques, with towering crowns and the narrowest of narrow brims. These toques are trimmed with flat bands of fur; or with lengths of bright colored picot ribbons, the latter being twisted round the high crown and tied in jaunty bows at one side. White felt hats are now worn with the thinnest and most transparent dresses, and it is said that white and pale tinted felt hats will be fashionable all through the winter. I have recently seen some beautiful Underwood & Underwood This frock and hat are examples of the effect produced by a few innovations along military lines. The hat is suggestive of a hussar's, carried to an extreme. The long lines of the coat, which is of light-toned biscuit-colored broadcloth, cannot be anything if not soldier-like. The cross bands at the waist and the button-hole bands might easily have been taken from the uniform of the West Pointer. The collarette, wide skirt bands, and cuffs are of Hudson seal. No Reason Why American Women Should Not Possess Quality That Means So Much. The chic of Parisienne is proverbial, so much so that the word, which started years ago as a bit of Quartier slang, has come to be a real word in the French dictionary. Chic means, according to the best authorities, a very good limitation of anything. So a chic Parisienne is one who wears her simple clothes with the same style and dasil as a fashionable French woman who has all the money and taste in the world to gown herself. Corsets may be several years old, but better so, so long as they fit. A dress may be four years old—I know a little Parisienne who was saving up for her dot, and she wore hers that long—but such a dress fits and is made dainty by little white inexpensive collars. A hat may be of last year's vintage, but is brushed nicely tailored suits in Worth's show rooms. This dressmaker remains true to the traditions of his house. Nothing eccentric or merely sensational finds a place in the Maison Worth, but everything is in the most perfect taste. Worth is making all his new winter coats quite long, that is to say, knee-length. And these coats are accompanied by plaited skirts which almost reach the ankle. The result is admirable. He showed me a lovely Louis XIV coat which had just been created for an English duchess. It was made of raven's-wing-blue faced cloth and trimmed with bands of sable; there were large cut jet buttons which had tiny diamond centers, and the coat was lined with pompadour brocade which showed dull blue flowers on a dark purple ground. No panniers; nothing that could possibly be twisted into a "bustle." His dinner gowns for matrons—these have always been a Worth specialty—are made of the most magnificent velvets and brocades, and some of the trains of these gowns are heavily embroidered. DONE IN APPLIQUE WORK Tea Cosy in a Design That Is Both Effective and Original Shown in the Sketch. An effective and very original cosy is shown in the accompanying sketch. It is carried out in cream-colored silk, and the boats are indicated with small pieces of material of various colors sewn in their places in applique work. The sails are made of brown silk, and diagrams A and B show the shapes in which they should be cut out. The side of the boat is represented with black silk, and diagram C shows the shape of the piece that will be re- quired. Diagram D gives the shape of the material for the stern of the boat, and for this gray silk is used. The reflections of the boats in the water are worked with silk of various shades of blue, and the seagulls are indicated with gray silk. The masts of the boats are worked with dark brown silk and the little flags with scarlet. The cosy is edged with blue and white silk cord, which is arranged in three little loops in the center at the top. With the exercise of a little ingenuity some very quaint and pretty cosies of other designs can be prepared in the manner described. PLEA FOR TAILORED SUIT Its Slim Body and High Rolling Collar Become the American Woman Very Well. The top coat will be in its glory this season. That much is settled over here. The one-piece frock, therefore, will triumph over the tailored suit, as far as numbers go. The American woman, however, is peculiarly fitted to wear the tailored suit, and if she gives it up she will make a serious mistake. The lack of men workers in France and the garment makers here produced a comparative dearth of plain coats and skirts. The suits that have been brought over, however, are excessively good looking. If a woman wears one with brilliancy she will look like a miniature of one of her ancestors. Collars are high and rolling. Revers are large and important. The body part is slim, such as a dandy would like, and the full peplum falls in various convolutions over the hips. There is room enough, however, for several kinds of costumes in the average American's wardrobe. The one piece frock is a necessity, if one leads any manner of social life. The top coat is lavishly trimmed this year, when it is used for ceremonial occasions, and in satin, heavily sutached, it has reached the apex of fashion. Capes for Motoring Jersey cloth capes, reaching almost to the hem of the skirt, are worn for motoring. The capes are of plain color, with trimming of stripes, hems, collars, bands, straps and tabs. New Fall Model. The dropped yoke is fastened to the front of the blouse with chenille covered buttons and there an inch band of it crosses the back of the collar. and saucily posed on an immaculate coiffure, for that is one thing that the poorest French girl will spend money on. She will wear white lisle gloves all the year round, but they are white, not the prevalent New York fashion of dirty white gloves. If she has a pair of kid gloves for the theater, over them go the white lisle gloves till she gets to the theater, for omnibus and tram rails are as rusty as they are often here. Her boots may be a queer shape—the they often are—but they are not run down at the heels and they are blacked before she leaves the house. It is a part of the housework in any bourgeois home. She has some little individual way of dressing her hair, fastening her girdle or belt or wearing a certain becoming color exclusively that keeps her from looking like the next woman who passes by. This is French chic. This is what many of the American women have yet to learn. Speed the day!—New York Herald. (By E. O. SELLER, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago). (Copyright, 1916, Western Newpaper Union.) LESSON FOR OCTOBER 8 PAUL BEFORE FELIX. LESSON TEXT—Acts 24. GOLDEN TEXT—Herein I also exercise myself to have a conscience void of offense toward God and men always—Acts 24:16. This is a court scene, and it might be well with certain classes to introduce the lesson by describing such a gathering. The lesson occurred five days after the last lesson, and twelve days after Paul reached Jerusalem, bearing the collection for the poor. The place, Causesa, was the Roman capital of Judea. I. The Prisoner's Examination (vv. 1-9). In addition to the Roman governor, Felix, attired in his gorgeous official regalia, on a platform nearby, were the high priest of the Jews, in his highly colored and jeweled robes, the lawyer, Tertulus, in his Roman toga, and the elders of the Sanhedrin who had come down from Jerusalem to be witnesses against Paul. Of Tertulus it was said that, by his persuasive tongue, he could make white seem black, and could therefore more easily make it appear that Paul was "a danger to the Roman power, and not merely a turbulent and renegade Jew." The judge, Felix, was an exceptionally bad governor, who two years later was recalled by Nero to Rome. The inference of verse two is that Paul was an inciter of rebellion and robberies, but the exact charges were three-fold: (See vv. 5-6) (a) that Paul was a mover of insurrection; (b) that he was a ringlinger of a sect of Nazarenes who were causing trouble in the province; and (c) that he had profaned the Jewish temple at Jerusalem. The charge of insurrection would be especially obnoxious to Felix who had just been praised for keeping peace in his dominion. That of being a leader of heresy was not serious, for the Romans had no desire to interfere between one Jewish sect and another, but it led to the last one, viz., profaning the temple. The Romans had legalized the Jewish ritual, and for Paul to profane the holy place would be a serious outrage. The weakness of Tertulus' case was that he produced no evidence to support his charges. The accusers were there, but they had no witnesses 11. The Prisoner's Defense (vv. 10-21). Paul cheerfully made his defense, for he knew the Jews and their customs, and that Felix had married a Jewess, (v. 24). We might consider this defense first negatively and then positively. On the negative side, Paul answers each charge seriatim. In the first place there had not been time for him to cause an insurrection (v. 11). Going back over these days; (1) his arrival in Jerusalem (21:15); (2) his appearance before James (21:18); (3, 4, 5 and 6), the days of his vow (Ch. 21:26, 27); (7) his arrest; (8) his appearance before the Sanhedrin; (9) the conspiracy and his deliverance; (10, 11, 12 and 13) in Caesarea (See Ch. 24:1). Paul's statement showed that the whole story of his experience was fresh in the memories of both friends and foes. It was the Jews who did the stirring up. Paul answers the second charge by acknowledging (vv. 14-16) that he belonged to the Christian way of salvation, but denied that this was heresy. Paul was a true Jew and a good Pharisee, for (1) he worshiped the same God (v. 14); (2) he believed in the Jewish law and prophets. From them he knew he could prove that Jesus was the Messiah. (3) He agreed with the Pharisees (v. 15) in hope toward God, a resurrection from the dead and immortal life. Paul's life was "void of offense" toward God in heart and worship, and toward men as shown in good deeds. It was for this that he exercised himself. Literally, he worked upon the raw material, disciplining and training it. Paul answers the third charge by a simple denial that it had actually taken place, and calls for witnesses. Positively, Paul explains that he had followed the God of his fathers, that he believed in fulfilled prophecy—literally the resurrection of Jesus from the deed—that he came to Jerusalem with alms for the poor, and, as before the council, he stands upon his integrity. III. The Judge's Delay (vv. 22-27). Felix had a "more perfect knowledge of that way." We believe he had secured this knowledge from Philip, the evangelist, and from Cornellus, the Roman centurion, both of whom lived in Caesarea. By deferring his decision, Felix avoided an outrageous injustice to Paul, and at the same time gave serious offense to the troublesome Jews who knew of his evil conduct. From verse twenty-three we see that Paul was given liberty, literally such indulgence in freedom as would be consistent with his safety. Luke, the physician, and Philip, the evangelist, visited him here, bringing food, books and letters. After a time Felix and his wife, Drusilla, sent for Paul to talk with him "concerning the faith in Christ." Drusilla was a daughter of Herod Agrippa I (vv. 12-23), and a sister of Herod II (See Ch. 26). She was a beautiful woman, much younger than Felix who was possibly about sixty years of age. She and her only child perished in the eruption of Vesuvius A. D. 79. Paul before Felix emphasized three points. (1) Righteousness—right principles, right conduct, integrity and justice—duties which man owes to man. (2) Paul reasoned of temperance, literally self-control. Temperance, as here used, is ability to guide and restrain one's emotions and appetites; having the passions and powers of the soul under the control of reason and conscience. (3) Paul preached of a judgment to come, where the rewards for virtue and the punishment for sin and crime would be manifest.

One of the most commendable things done politically in this city is the movement inaugurated by Lawyer W. C. Hueston, among the young Negro men of the city perfecting an organization known as the First Hour Voting club to be composed of 1,000 young colored men voting in National politics for the first time who pledge themselves to be at the ballot boxes at the hour of opening and cast 1,000 straight Republican ballots. That Mr. Hueston will be success: ful in this undertaking goes without saying and reflects much credit upon his ability as an organizer as well as demonstrates the enthusiasm and earnestness of young men of our race in this city. This club meets each Tuesday night to enroll recruits at its headquarters, 1218 East Twelfth street, and urges every young Negro man in this city to enlist under its Republican banner. ‘The Sun wishes them unbounded suc. cess in this movement, Colonel Gardner is said to be do- ing @ lot of ‘pussy-footing’ for Negro votes, but he is finding this to be an off year for Negro Democrats, Eyery right the Negro has was giv- en him by the Republican party against the strong opposition of the Democratic party. Bishop Alexander Walters, who sup- ported Woodrow Wilson for presi- dent four years ago, said in an inter- view, while visiting in St. Louis, a few months ago: “A solid Negro vote for the Republican nominee for presi- | dent/this time, is the only salvation for ‘the Negro race in this country.” ‘The Negroes who were seduced into Supporting Wilson for president in 1912, are amazed at their own stupi dity, and all but those who are Dem. ocratie for revenue only, have long since ‘repented and returned to the Repijblican fold and are working hard to undo the harm they did four years ago. What has become of President Wil- son's great slogan: “Watchful wait- ing wins?” Has he reversed him- self on this as he has an every other question in the last four years? ‘When friends of Jim Reed tell you that Walter 8, Dickey is a rich manu- facturer, call their attention to the fact that Mr. Dickey began. his career as a $50 a month eatry clerk and has Worked his*way up step by step to his present suecess, as every right mind- ed young American should aspire to do. ‘The people who were deceived four years ago into the notion that Wilson was a great statesman have found out to their sorrow that he is only a cheap, vacillating politician, The story that Col.

"I want you to be my wife, Rae," plained Lester Donald as they sat side by side in the cabaret. Rae Mable tapped her little shoe against the floor in agitation, but she did not answer him immediately. "Rae, you know how much I care for you," plained Lester. "It isn't as if we hadn't known other for months. Why can't you say yes? You admit that you love me. What is there that is to come between us? "Five or six million dollars, Lester," answered Rae, lifting her eyes to the young man's. "And your mother and father. And all the wealthy relatives you have. And your fashionable friends. And my position as a chorus girl. What do you suppose your people would say to a chorus girl daughter-in-law?" "But when they see you, Rae, they will think the same that I do," answered Lester. "I know how good you are, and that you joined the chorus to support your mother, because you had the opportunity. It isn't the job that degrades the woman, it's the woman who makes the position what it is." Rae flushed at the young man's ardor. She was very fond of Lester; had loved him for six months, in fact. And she was the prettiest member of the sextet, and undeniably straight as a die. "There's something else, Lester," she answered. "You know, I'm—well, common. I don't always speak grammatically. You know that's pretty bad. How would you like your folks to hear me say 'you was?' Not that I don't know better, but that's the way I was bril and, it naturally slips out sometimes." "Denrest Rue," said Lester, taking her hand, "my love is strong enough to overcome all those difficulties. Be WALTER "When I told Him Who I Was He Turned Perfectly Yellow." come my wife as the first step, and after that—well, I guess you'll be able to have all the grammar lessons you want." The girl hesitated, and the fight was won. She loved Lester, and at twenty-tour love seems the most precious thing in the world. Before they parted at her door that evening she had promised to marry him. Even in the intoxication of his happiness the young man felt the difficulty of making a satisfactory explanation to his parents. 11. Six months later Rae passed out of Lester's life. In the brief letter that she left for him she told him that she would no longer make his life a burden. She was going where she belonged, and she hoped that their paths would never cross again. The furious outtery against the marriage had not availed to turn Lester from his determination. Finally, his parents had given their reluctant consent and the young couple had set up housekeeping in a modest apartment in the residential section. And then their troubles began. Lester's old friends had cut him. His parents, overcome by the blow, received his wife only grudgingly into their home, and when Rae was there she saw unmistakably how they and their other guests regarded her. Lester was solitary and morose. Rae did all she could to brighten his life, but unavailably. And the longing for the old life began to stir in her. Lester had suggested a grammar teacher, but the girl, disgusted with the treatment she had received, obstinately refused. "I was willing to try to become one of them," she said, "and they wouldn't have me. Now you can keep your old grammar." Once or twice Rae brought theatrical people to the flat. Their ways of speech, their views jarred upon Lester, and he made no attempt to conceal his dislike for them. Angry recriminations followed. Finally Rae announced her decision to go back to the stage. Lester forbade it. For the first time since their marriage he realized how greatly the fault had been his own. He had done nothing to accustom his wife to her new life, while he had denied her her own. He spent the better part of a week searching for her. Finally he was driven to admit that she had carried out her threat; she had gone with the intention of never returning to him. His obstinacy aroused, he went back to his parents' arms. It was not long before the insidious suggestions of a divorce, coupled with the anger wel come extended by his friends, as to a man who had made a fool of himself, but had repented, worked upon Lester. He sued his wife for divorce on the ground of abandonment. The case was not contested; Lester thought Rue was ignorant of it. III. Three years later Lester found himself many times a millionaire. His parents were deed; he had succeeded to his father's stock exchange business, and was spoken of as one of the coming men of the Street. It was just at this time that Madame Cossi was announced with a flourish of trumpets on the part of her impresario as the greatest singer of the age, now about to make her first public appearance in the metropolis. And in this case the impresario was right. The town raved over her. Never had so talented an actress appeared since Rachel. Never was there such a voice. The papers estimated her princely income as not far short of that of any captain of industry. Her studio apartment on the avenue became the haunt of celebrities. Society took her up. Madame Cossi was the lion—or lioness—of every fashionable entertainment. Beautiful, talented, andundeniably charming, Madame Cossi had the city at her feet. When first he saw her lithograph upon the billboards Lester felt sure that it was his wife. He went to see her in "Carmen." There before him, tainalizing, elusive, was the woman whom he had won only to lose, of his own perverseness. Her acting thrilled him. "Yes," he heard a bald-headed cynic at his side say to his companion, "she's been in love—helplessly. It takes that to bring out the acting quality in a woman. After all, every woman is a potential actress." Lester remembered the words when he met her unexpectedly at Mrs. Van Tromp's reception. Without a shade of besituation Rae put out her hand. "I am pleased to meet you again, Mr. Ronnads," she said. She touched him to the heart. The woman seemed made of stone. He pleaded for an interview. For some time she refused to grant one. "I am at home to my friends at five on Saturday," she said finally. IV. There was nobody but Rae in the sinuptiously furnished apartment when Lester called. She was attired in a magnificent dress, which left an indistinct impression of gold and black lace. There was such a smile on her face as might have been given any chance acquaintance. "This is very charming, Mr. Ronalds," she said, "but does it not strike you as a trifle unwise on your part?" "Why?" he demanded, feeling an insane jealousy in his heart for this woman, calm, unapproachable, whom he had lost. "Because you can hardly wish to rake up unpleasant memories. As for me," she confessed, "the remembrance of a certain six months burns and stings. By the way, I had the pleasure last week of refusing the hand of Charlie Duckett, the first of your friends to cut me, you may remember. When I told him who I was he turned perfectly yellow." "Rine," said Lester, "you have never been out of my thoughts these years post. I want you—I want you, Rine. I want you with all my heart." She dropped him a mock curtsy, "You are very good, Lester." she said, her face softening a little. "But readily one does not go through this twice. It was to tell you that that I permitter you to call. Saturday is not my at-home day." "Listen, Lester," she went on, with ringing scorn. "I left you because I was dragging you down. At that time I was heartbroken. Then I resolved that I would show you what I could have become. I did study grammar. I went abroad and learned singing in Rome—never mind how. Anything can be done if one is determined enough. And I came back to show you what you had lost. Well, I have shown you. I have had my revenge. And now let me tell you I have no further wish to lionize it among the shallow, heartless people of your set. Once I gave up my career for you. Now I have it again. And I hate you— hate you, Lester, and I never want to see you again." She spoke like a queen of tragedy But something in Lester's heart rose to match the passion in hers. "I love you, Rae, and I'm going to win you again," he said. "Rae—my Rae—" And, as the taw kindles to the fire, suddenly the ice melted in Rae's heart. He was holding her in his arms and looking into her face. "Rae, you didn't mean that?" "Lester, I—came back to hear you tell me what you are telling me now." Selfishness Antidote A few knocks now and then are the best antidotes in the world for selfishness. The girl or young woman who is constantly petted and waited upon by an indulgent mother very seldom appreciates what her parent is doing for her, but let her mother become suddenly ill and the girl be obliged to get up an hour earlier to prepare breakfast for a week or two and she will begin to realize that her mother is entitled to some recognition for the hard work she does and that she (the girl) has heretofore been downright selfish. Sparrow's Amazing Appetite A tree sparrow has been known to cut 700 grass seeds in a day. Relative to the bird's size, these seeds were as big as an ordinary lunch basket would be to a full-grown man. A bird's strength is equally amazing. A white-tailed eagle, weighing 12 pounds, with a wing-spread of six feet, has been known to pounce on a pig weighing 42 pounds, raise it to a height of a hundred feet and fly off with it. The bird had covered a distance of half a mile before the pig's owner succeeded in shooting the thief. THE KANSAS CITY SUN. SATURDAY.

Without it the plots of novels and plays would have been crippled. It is a staple of French literature. Now it appears that this is only one more of the social landmarks which are being swept away in the war flood. Young people who hesitate to marry because of lack of property once they lose everything proceed instantly to marry. The one bright spot in the South at the close of the Civil war was the wholesale marrying of young people who had not a red cent. After the San Francisco disaster in 1904 weddings were a leading industry among young men and women who had besitated in the time of plenty. The new custom in France is a vast improvement on the old. It is gratifying for the young folk, but it is hard on the fiction writers.—Boston Globe. Deplores "American Voice;" Doctor Suggests a Remedy Dr. Charles Prevost Grayson of Philadelphia reproved American doctors at the annual meeting of the Laryngoloical, Rhinological and Otological association because they had done nothing whatever to correct the "American voice," in which he averred, "no amount or depth of patriotism can so Genius Rebuffed. genius "If you'll cut some wood I'll give you your breakfast."

And one good turn is usually followed by two bad ones—in a variety show. Even when a man knows a woman's age she never thinks he thinks she looks it.

By LAURA JEAN LIBREY There are mighty good husbands to be found the world over—men who provide liberally or the best they can for the women who loved them well enough to trust their future happiness to them. The poor-bargain husbands are few and far between. A husband is worth to a wife all the world he is faithful, striving to do the best he can and giving her full measure of love for love. The husband who is companionable, but is unfortunate in securing work and holding a job down, many a wife finds worthy of supporting, hoping on, Micawberlike, for better days to come. The husband who openly rebels at doing anything to provide for his wife, gives her no pleasure, is not solicitous as to whether she is well or ill, in fact who has not her interest or love for her at heart, is not worth a sou markee or one thought. A husband should not be measured by his wealth. Many who are fitted to accomplish great things are laid down by the iron hand of circumstance. They are worth encouraging, helping and loving. They are pure gold among the world of human dross. When most wives sum up how much their husbands are worth to them they will find that though he may have his faults he is sure to have redeeming qualities which far overbalance them. Every man has failures, as well as successes. A wife should not be daunted because of them. A husband's worth is far above price to the wife who loves him for himself alone. fins, the body being slightly bent, while the head sometimes leans up against the sides of the aquarium or an aquatic plant. Respiration is weak at these times. Sometimes its slips on its back and remains in this position absolutely motionless for hours. War Makes New Economies War is producing some queer economies. The Finnians, who are fighting above the snowline find wood scarce and fires a rarity. Their difficulties have aroused the scouts to action. They visit every house, collect the waste paper, and then hand it over to the girls collected in a central station. These girls, working under the eye of a teacher, spread the sheets flat and feed them into a machine which rolls them tightly into a roll of about an inch in diameter. But they are too long for use, so a chopping machine worked by hand produces as a final result, little tight rolls about two inches long. These can be dropped into a knapsack, and when a fire is wanted three or four are taken out, placed on the ground, lit, and enough heat is generated to warm thoroughly a mugful of soup.—London Chronicle. Hand-Painted Bodice Latest. Hand-painted undergarments are making a bid for favor in the lineup of fall apparel! Hand painting has appeared so far only on bodices of georgette crepe designed for wear under dainty transparent evening gowns, but one of the prettiest novelties imaginable is thus developed. The daintiest of floral patterns is properly selected, and the painting must be done with an exquisite fineness of touch to produce the desired result. An underbodice may be decorated with hand painting over its entire surface, or a mere border about the neck may be chosen in preference. Stenciled designs are also approved as a decoration for next season evening underbodices, and here, as in the case of the hand-painted garments, very dainty floral patterns should be selected. Georgette crepe is the prime choice of fabrics to be so adorned. The first great English scientist was Roger Bacon, who died 621 years ago. The exact date of his birth is unknown, but it is believed that this year marks the 700th anniversary. He was persecuted and condemned and much of his work destroyed, so that the extent of his discoveries cannot be definitely known. It is certain that he was centuries ahead of his ignorant and credulous times in chemistry, mathematics and mechanics. Branded as a magician, he was thrown into prison. From 1277 until a short time before his death Bacon was immured in a filthy cell. He is said to have invented the camera obscura. There is the Isle of Dogs and Whale island, Pewit island, in Essex, and Crane and Gulf islands, off the coast of Cornwall. Near Lundy Island are Rat island and the Hen and Chickens.

"Prices in silk stockings have increased 10 per cent, but they will be worn by practically everyone, as they have been now for some years. The number of silk stockings worn probably has trebled in the last five or six years." The most numerous fish of economic importance on the east coast of the United States is the menhaden, which is known also by a large number of other names, some of them inappropriate and misleading. It is a member of the herring family, goes in great schools in the ocean, bays and sounds, and supports a fishery from Maine to Florida. "I understand Paris is going in for municipal reform." "Good!

The deserted wife in an advertisement offered four dollars for information which would lead to his whereabouts. She added pitifully that she was very poor and could not afford to pay a larger amount as it had taken the last dollar she had saved to pay the debts he had the country to the other concerning the disappearance of a husband.

She added pitifully that she was very poor and could not afford to pay a larger amount as it had taken the last dollar she had saved to pay the debts he had left Tender-hearted wives with fickle husbands were sorry for her. Independent spinsters, who put men in the places they belong, expressed surprise at her extravagance in her willingness to pay that sum for a worthless boot. The question now arises—how much is the average husband worth to his wife? It seems to me that there is so much figuring to be done on the subject that it would lead one into such an entangling labyrinth that it would be hard to discover where one is actually at. anesthetize our ears that they will find anything musical." Doctor Grayson did not suggest surgical treatment, but merely that the education of children in proper articulation be compulsory. He blamed inference and lack of proper training for the habit of slurring and clipping and muddling our syllables, and urged that no teachers be appointed who have not clear voices and do not enunciate distinctly. The Sleep of Fishes. It has often been asserted that fish never sleep, a sufficiently amazing story that anything can do violence to the laws of nature. Brehm used to contend that fish slept soundly, assuming during that time peculiar attitudes which could not be construed otherwise than sleep. Experiments go far to confirm this theory. He paid particular attention to the leach, which, he found, assumed an attitude of repose, during which its functions were less active and the keenness of its sensorial faculties diminished. It sleeps at any hour of the day or night, and in doing so it rests on its caudal The Direct Method. "What is a strikebreaker?" asked Mrs. Dubwaite, who was glancing over the morning paper.

Purgatory Chasm o WHERE THE WALLS ARE 80 FEET HIGH EVER been in Purgatory? Many persons have declared their expectation of going there eventually, but there are thousands who have already made the trip, have enjoyed the experience and have come away wondering why more people do not go there. The Purgatory in question is located in the town of Sutton, Mass., and those who have visited the spot are convinced that the commonwealth has missed an opportunity to become famous for having within its confines one of the strangest and most interesting freaks of nature in the world. Purgatory, in Sutton, is a chasm. Its admirers declare that it is more attractive and remarkable even than the Flume in the White mountains, and they are back of a movement to have the commonwealth acquire the property and make a reservation out of it for the benefit of the whole people. Purgatory chasm has for years been a source of wonder to geologists, for they cannot agree as to what caused it. A large number of them seem to think that at some time, eons ago, a portion of the earth at this point dropped down out of sight, leaving a great chasm whose base is filled with giant bowlers and deep caves. Until a few years ago this chasm, situated in the midst of a forest of pine, hemlock and spruce, was a favorite outing spot for people in Worcester and surrounding towns, but as the roads to it were not kept in good condition the visitors decreased until now it has practically been forgotten except by a few enthusiasts. Explored by Commission. Led by Arthur E. Seagrave of Uxbridge, who is assistant attorney general of the commonwealth, they have been endeavoring for several years to have the legislature take an interest in the matter of preserving the natural wonder, and finally succeeded this year in securing an appropriation of $100 to be used for an investigation of the matter by the state forestry commission. This commission, which is composed of the state forester, Frank W. Rane, Harold Parker and Harvey N. Shepard, with Charles O. Bailey as secretary, has completed its investigation. Not one of them had ever seen Purgatory chasm before. "I was amazed," said Mr. Bailey when he returned to Boston. "It actually awed me, it was so majestic, so wonderful. In some ways it resembles the Lost River chasm in Vermont, and to my mind is more interesting than the Flume in New Hampshire. After going nearly a mile through the woods you suddenly come upon this freak. There are stones weighing 50 tons at least that have been hurled about. Some of them stick out at least 15 feet from the sides of the chasm, 40 feet or more in the air. There are caves where ice remains much of the summer, and at the end of the chasm is a wonderful cave, on the floor of which is an immense slab of stone that looks just like a giant's coffin. It is called the Devil's Cave. "The vegetation there is remarkable. Great trees grow apparently from the solid rock, their roots often going up 10 to 15 feet over the bowler, then turn down over it to reach the soil. If a balloonist should start from the Rocky mountains and land at this spot, he would think it was a part of the Rockles. Speaking as a private citi- Stin Shows Battle Scars. Cartagena still shows many scars of battle, for she had a hard life of it in the past. As she was the prindipal stronghold of Spain, all Spain's enemies attacked her first when they moved on the Americas, English buccaneers sacked her half a dozen times. The English Admiral Vernon besieged the city unsuccessfully for months, but in spite of his poor success he inspired such admiration in a young colonial officer that the latter named an American country estate for the admiral. The officer was one Lawrence Washington, and he named the country place Mount Vernon. Gebhart von Bluecher was born in 1742 at Bostock, Prussia. At the age of fourteen he entered the Swedish army and four years later was captured by the Prussians in the Pomeranian campaign. His captors urged him to enter their service and he received a lieutenancy. Bluecher first came into notice in the later battles of the Seven Years' war, under Frederick the Great. His course life of many excesses Von Bluecher zen, I believe it would be a great shame to let a few dollars stand in the way of preserving this great natural wonder for the people of Massachusetts." Some Great Caverns Great Caverns. "Hell's Coal Bin" is one of the largest caverns in Purgatory, not far from the northern entrance. It would hold 25 persons easily. The "Devil's Ice Box" is another great cavern, its ceiling lined with icicles until the middle of June. "Pulpit Rock" is a wedge-shaped piece 40 feet high, from which many a sermon has been preached by the unordained. For all its ruggedness, the trip through Purgatory chasm may be made by women, although it is not a place for silk hosiery and thin-soled pumps. Some of the rocks in the chasm are as large as a bungalow, and the mass of bowlers extends far into the earth.

The Masons live next door to the home of a very capable, resourceful and attractive young woman. One evening, as the Mason family sat on their porch after dinner they heard the young lady's voice through the open window talking in an animat- ed manner to someone who made no audible reply. After a time the voice ceased, and in a moment the girl appeared on the Masons' porch, pink- dressed and shining. "Oh, Mrs. Mason," she began, "can you lend be some chocolate? Two squares will be enough. I may have to make fudge tonight. I've a new beau coming—that nice Mr. Arnold who's recently come into the bank—and I've just sat in front of my mirror and said everything I can think of to say, and talked about everything I know, and told every story I can tell, and it takes only forty minutes. If he stays any longer than that, I shall just have to make fudge!" The Range of Light. When I first enjoyed the supert view, one glowing April day, from the summit of the Pacheco pass, the Central valley, but little trampled or plowed as yet, was one furred, rich sheet of golden composite, and the luminous wall of the mountains shone in all its glory. Then it seemed to me the Sierra should be called not the Nevada, or Snowy range, but the Range of Light. And after ten years spent in the heart of it, rejoicing and wondering, bathing in its glorious floods of light, seeing the sunbursts of morning among the ice peaks, the noonday radiance on the trees and rocks and snow, the flush of the alpenglow, and a thousand dashing waterfalls with their marvelous abundance of irised spray, it still seems to be above all others the Range of Light, the most divinely beautiful of all the mountain chains I have ever seen—John Muir's "The Mountains of California." plunged him into disfavor, so he retired into private life. However, after 15 years of retirement he again entered the service on the death of the king and organized the Prussian army. His influence was more from his daring than brains, as he relied on others for strategy. After his participation at Waterloo he insisted on having Napoleon shot, but the logical Wellington prevented this. Bluecher was seventy when Waterloo was fought and died four years after the battle in 1819. Novel Idea for Electric Truck A novel electric truck of Bradford, Eng., is an old trackless trolley car altered by the general manager of the city trimmings for special use. On the regular tramway route, the truck is driven by current from the overhead trolley, but a storage battery is carried, and when necessary or desired, the vehicle leaves the trolley line and makes journeys of several miles on the stored-up energy of the battery. Though the voltage of the trolley supply is 500 and that of the battery only 150, the extension trips are made at a low rate of speed without difficulty. THE KANSAS CITY SUN.

She fully expected to lead a quiet and useful tife, and in the end be buried with her forbears in the churchyard. She was a quiet, practical woman, a fine housekeeper and an excellent man- ager, and everybody respected on When she was married most of the girls of the village envied her and per- haps a few hated her; for divers dam- sels had made strenuous efforts to capture the young man who became her husband. M. Henri was extremely handsome, and had“a hundred charms and graces. He was the best singer in the countryside, he was full of witty stories, and the way he could dance ‘was a caution, Everybody admired the young man. Well, it is true that the old cure shook his head now and then, ‘when Henri was mentioned, The young man was too flighty, said that reverend man. But the cure was hopeful when he heard the name of Henri’s bride, This girl came of a thrifty family, ‘and she abhorred waste, without being avaricious, She was distinguished for her beautiful complexion, which re. minded people of cream aml roses ; and her face was framed by masses of curling brown hair, And she was cele. brated in her own neighborhood for her physical strength. Without being bulky or awkward, she had the power <£ two ordinary men In her muscles: ‘The stronges: man in the village was ‘as an infant in her hands when, to lend interest to the evening sports, she con- sented to demonstrate her strength. So Henri married this lovely and at- tractive girl, and they went to house- Keeping, and for « while the husband was a success, He worked diligently, and spent his evenings at home, and his wife managed so successfully that money was being saved, But all the tlme the young man hungered and thirsted for the bright lghts In the tayern windows. And before long he began making frequent trips to the grog bazaar, and when he returned home his breath spoke volumes. It went from worse to worse, as It usu: ally does in such cases, and in a few months Madame Henri had to spend her evenings alone. The husband was holding high wassall at the Horn of Plenty inn. It was breaking her heart, and she pleaded and argued with him, and even threatened, and all to no avail, Henri came reeling home nearly every night, fa spectacle for the gods. ‘Then a relative of hers died and left her a comfortable legacy. She had long known that this money would come to her, and yhen she was mar- ried she and her husband had made beautiful plans as to what they would do with it. ‘They'd buy a little farm and live happy ever after. And now that the legacy was hers, Madame Henrl made one last effort to arouse a sane ambition in her husband. She tmplored him to quit bis foolishness and help her carry out the original plans, He seemed to be roused by her entreaties, and promised her to refrain from the flowing bowl forever. He had sown bis lst wild oat. She believed him, and negotiated for a farm she had had her eyes on for a long time. ‘Then one day she handed him some money to take to the notary who wax conducting the negotiation. He didn't take the money to the no- tary, He took it to the Horn of Plen- fy, bate at might he returned to is abode {n merry,humor. He opened the door und entered, wearing a vacu- ous grin, Madame Henri rose from her chair and faced bim,, and Bot wave of anger swept over her, forgot her phenomenal when ‘che struck him, He fell to the floor Uke @ sack of meal, and she realized that he had taken his Inst drink, On succeeding days nelghbors paused, ns usual, at Madame Henrl’s garden gate, to gosetp a bit, and she volunteered the Information to all of them that her husband had quit drink- Ing and was going to settle down. He had gone away to look nt several prop- erties which were for sale, and she didn’t know when he'd be back. After- wards the neighbors remembered that ‘she had harped upon this matter in- ‘sistently, bringing It up every time she talked with them. A quarter of a mile away from the Henrl cottage there was a stream, and upon the bank of this stream there stood a gristmill. One morning as the miller was going to his daily task, he observed 2 queer-looking object on one of the blades of the waterwheel. With the help of a lotig pole, hooked at the end, he pulled the thing off the water- wheel and brought {t to land. It was A coarse sack, containing something heavy. He opened the sack and beheld @ part of a human body. With his dusty hair on end, he went to the vil- lage police station, and the officer in charge accompanted him to the river bank and inspected the ghastly discov- ery. “This was done by a woman,” said the village slenth. “Only a woman would have used a needle and thread on a sack, A man would have tled it.” ‘The slarm was given, and the vil- Inger’s helped to comb the stream, and during the day various similar sacks were found, all containing fragments of a human body, and all sewn with needle and thread, ‘The head alone couldn't be found, and the head was necessary to the identification of the vietim, and the solution of the mys- tery. The days went by and no prog ress was made, but the village sleuth studied and worried over it day and night, and finally concluded that the ab- sence of M. Henri would bear investiga: tlon. So he disguised himself after the manner of Vidocq and managed to be come well acquainted with Madame Henri, and soon concluded that her sto- ries about her husband were false ‘Then he accused her of his murder tn 50 many words. ‘The madam, strong as she was, fell in a swoon, and when she recovere¢ consclonsness confessed everything After finding that her husband wa: dead, she carried his body to the cel lay, and there chopped him {nto con venient chunks with an ax. The pleces she sewed up in sacks, and ev. ery night, until the whole body was dis posed of, she carried a bundle to the river and threw {t In. Even when this was known most of the people sympathized with the wom- an, knowing how much she had en- dured, The terrible story was carried all over Europe, and for weeks to- gether the newspapers were full of it, und many years afterwards tourists went out of their way to visit the cor- ner of Brittany where Madame Henri Induced her husband to sign the pledge. ‘The woman was tried and convicted In due season, and was sentenced to twenty years at hard labor. Real Education, Education, if it be worth the name, Is practical. Many a college graduate has found himself on the verge of starving to death, because he had not early learned the force of this truth, On the other hand, many whose ad- vantages in life were apphrently the most meager have steadily climbed up- ward, and ulthmately reached the goal of their desires, by the means of the useful, common-sense knowledge clr- sumstances had enabled him to obtain, Pecullar Boundary Line?
