NUMBER 7. Every N G. O. P. Leade Winning To Re Judge Henry Lamm, that distinguished jurist and fearless champion of Republicanism who heads the ticket that promises to redeem Missouri from Democratic misrule and swing the state back into the Republican column on the seventh of November, has surpassed the expectations of his most ardent admirers by the telling effect of the strenuous campaign he is making through the state. The masterly manner in which he is handling the issues of the campaign has aroused interest and enthusiasm and put new life into the cause of Republicanism throughout the state and filled the hearts of the Democratic candidates with consternation. Judge Lamm is being greeted everywhere by large crowds and has made a most favorable impression on all classes of voters by his unanswerable arguments and the powerful searchlight of exposure he is turning upon the shameless extravagance and the wasteful and incompetent methods of the present Democratic administration. His thorough knowledge and mastery of state affairs mark him as an able and conscientious statemen. His rugged manly bearing and pleasing personality are driving home the conviction that he is a man with the courage of his convictions and a capable leader and is winning for him thousands of supporters among Democrats who are disgusted with the wasteful extravagance of their own pary leaders. Judge Lamm is a native of Ohio but has been a resident of Missouri for forty-seven years. He is a graduate of the University of Michigan and practiced law in this state for 30 years. He served four years as prosecuting attorney of Pettis county and was for ten years a judge of the Missouri Supreme Court. His fame as a jurist extends far beyond the borders of his own state and is widely known and respected for the wisdom and fearless impartiality of his decisions. One of the decisions written by Judge Lamm that marked him as an impartial jurist was that in which he ruled that the old soldiers of the Confederate Soldiers' Home, at Higginsville and at the Home for Union Veterans, at St. James, are not paupers, and are entitled to vote. Judge Lamm bears a spotless reputation and is respected by all who know him as a man of the highest character. ROY F. BRITTON. Republican Candidate For Lieutenant Governor. Roy F.

To save him from bankruptcy, advertise in his paper liberally. To save him from despair, send him every item of news of which you can get hold. To save him from profanity, write plainly on one side of the sheet and send in your contribution as early as possible. To save him from mistakes, bury him.

"KING COLE" LEADS No more pleasurable sensation can be felt in an aeroplane ride than by an excursion in the new 1917 8-cylinder Cole the successor to the famous "Brown Clipper," driven by the owner, Mr. W. H. Hubbell. In the lead, as usual, Mr. Hubbel has very appropriately "christened" his beautiful and copious car the "King Cole." Since the ordinary car does the ordinary thing one would not expect to find the same luxuries in a car of several years ago as in this commodious car superior in quality and in the minutest detail. To take a ride in King Cole one comes out of the past into the present. So soft and velvety is the motion of the car springs (being long and flat) that they float their load rather than support it, the scientific balance of chassis absorbing all road shock instead of transmitting it to the passengers. Those desiring to see the city would find no greater pleasure than by securing the King Cole as Mr. Hubbel, the owner, is careful and painstaking and is able to point out all points of interest in the town, at the same time enjoying a luxurious ride.

HANNIBAL, MISSOURI On Friday evening last, the home of Prof. Martin Lewis was the scene of an elegant banquet spread by the Masons of Hannibal in honor of their District Grand Master, Mr. Allen R. Bohon. This is the second time Mr. Bohon has been appointed District Grand Master of Masons of the fifth district of Missouri, and in token of their appreciation and encouragement of his efforts, Master Masons assembled at the festal board, to do him honor. The entire house was beautifully decorated for the occasion and a pretier scene as met the eyes of the Masons as they filed into the dining hall, to the sweet strains of music, has never been had in Hannibal. The table was laden with flowers and insigne of the order, much to the credit of Mrs. Lewis and the other wives of Masons who served the banquet. A five course luncheon was served, after which speeches were indulged in to a late hour. The spirit of unity of Masons and the upbuilding and perpetuation of its virtues and principles together with the highest praise for the great work done by Mr. Bohon, was the keynote of all the speeches, and every one departed with the inspiration and determination to do more for Masonry in Hannibal than ever before. This banquet points out a new step for Masons in Hannibal which will be productive of great good for the order. Among those present were: Messrs. J. T. Brown, Arch Harris, Wm. Flannigan, Jesse Thurston, A. C. Macklin, Fred McKinney, C. R. McDowell, Martin Lewis, Harry Barnes, Barn Laken, Jas, Stevens and Allen Boho.

GOOD MUSIC EVERYBODY WELCOME The Lincoln High School Orchestra and Soloists will furnish music. Walter S. Dickey, the Republican candidate for United States senator from Missouri, is matchless as a political leader and organizer and in his present campaign, by his masterful tactics has won from his friends the title of "the Mark Hanna of Missouri." Mr. Dickey has been a conspicuous and able leader in the Republican party of Missouri for 30 years but has never sought for himself, political preferment of any kind and never offensively dictated to those who were placed in power by his efforts. He came to Missouri in 1885 and at once identified himself with the Republican party of Kansas City. His ability as an able organizer was recognized a year later, by his election to membership of the Republican City Committee. In 1900 he was made chairman of the Jackson County Republican Committee, and under his efficient management the party that year won its first victory in 27 years. In 1904 he directed the campaign in Kansas City which resulted in the election of a Republican mayor and council. Later in the same year, as chairman of the executive committee of the Republican State Committee he aided in giving the electoral vote of Missouri to Theodore Roosevelt, which was a most surprising achievement. In 1908, he accomplished a still JOTTINGS FROM NAMRASH, MO. The Grim Reaper, whose name is Death, has again invaded our ranks, and broken another link in our chain, by removing from among us Bro.

Hadley, the first Republican governor of Missouri in forty years. During this campaign Mr. Dickey removed to St. Louis, to establish more effective headquarters, leaving his family and large business interests in Kansas City for five months and devoting his entire energy to the cause for party success. His matchless energy and ability as an organizer which have enabled him to lead the party to success in so many campaigns are again being demonstrated and are sure to result in bringing to the polls at the November election the full strength of the party vote and certain victory to the cause of Republicanism, by the election of the entire ticket. Personally Mr. Dickey is genial, approachable, and democratic. He is clean handed and all his processes have endured all the tests of public scrutiny. He is sympathetic and generous and the needs and interests of his fellow men have a large place in his mind and heart. It is the possession of these qualities that have enabled him to rise from the humble post of a clerk to the presidency of a business concern which operates 23 plants in eleven different states.

EVERYBODY WELCOME AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS One of the outstanding developments of the last few years is the growth of racial consciousness. The latest Negro Year Book reflects this. Not only are the exploits of the heroes of the race recorded but also the individual wealth of Negroes is described with pride. For example, the rise in the price of oil is said to have boosted the income of Sarah Rector, a young girl of Taft, Okin., to $000 a day. As the descendant of a Creek freedman, she happened to be allotted a piece of land in the oil district. Single taxers would hardly share in the enjoyment of this record. But it has its significance in a cumulative way. Says Monroe N. Work, editor of the volume: "Through purchases and increases in values, property holdings of Negroes of the country increased during the year by probably $30,000,000. It is estimated that on the basis of actual values and including exempted and nontaxable property the total wealth of the Negroes of the United States is about $1,000,000,000. They own 21,000,000 acres of land, or more than 32,000 square miles, an area greater than that of the state of South Carolina." This private accumulation and public emphasis on the power of property is the Negro's answer to the white man's apathy concerning his plight. Rapidly the mere possession of wealth is doing for the Negro what the white man's conscience has failed to do. Racial consciousness is the beginning of racial self-reliance. In an immense variety of ways the Negro is using his own resources to push forward his race, and, too, from many sources he is being aled. Julius Rosenwald, among others, has made interesting gifts to the rural schools. All this activity, the training of the Negro for more and more important services, is bound to have its consequences. On the one hand segregation is increasing—since 1911 13 cities and towps have adopted segregation ordinances—and on the other hand the Negroes are shaped by the schools and other institutions to share in the manifold efforts of the country. Here, in truth, is a genuine conflict of forces. What is the solution? Is it that of the Brazilian statesman who was quoted by Colonel Roosevelt as follows? "You of the United States are keeping the blacks as an entirely separate element, and you are not treating them in a way that fosters their self-respect. They will remain as a menacing element in your civilization, permanent, and perhaps after a while a growing element. With us this tends to disappear, because the blacks themselves tend to disappear and to become absorbed. In a century there will not be any Negroes in Brazil, while you will have 20,000,000 or 30,000,000 of them." Negroes are being absorbed in the United States, despite our hostility to miscegenation. The number of mulattoes standily increases and the number of blacks decreases, despite the widespread laws forbidding intermarriage between the races. Unless the Negro's attitude toward this absorption changes, the gradual disappearance of a colored race seems to be the prospect in America.—Chicago Herald. John Frazer came into town and found employment in a pressing club. He washed windows and did errands Commendation for the progress made by the colored race during the last 50 years in the face of strong race prejudice was bestowed by H. Martin Williams, reading clerk of the house, in an address before the Negro race conference at Mount Carmel Baptist church. Mr. Williams said: "You have faced it like men, and have made your way up in spite of the utmost difficulties." Following the address of Mr. Williams, the conference took the form of a permanent organization with the election of Rev. W. H. Jernagin of Washington as president, and the election of other officers as follows; Rev. J. Milton Waldron and E. P. Cheek of New Jersey, vice president; W. M. Alexander of Baltimore, secretary; S. L. Carruthers, treasurer; W. A. Taylor, corresponding secretary, and W. D. Norman, chairman of the executive committee. The organization, on the question of indorsing the Republican nominee for president, voted to appoint a committee of nine to wait upon Mr. Hughes and ascertain his views and purposes in regard to the colored race. The ex- American lumber, tinned goods, shoes, machinery, motor cars, coal and hardware find a ready market in Apia. If a direct steamer service was 'rustalled between San Francisco and Apia, Australian competition would be almost eliminated. Gold from lode mines in the Willow Creek district, Alaska, in 1915 was vaulted at $250,000. Government observations prove that there is still an enormous amount of gold in this same viability. Wounds Caused by Dirt Wounds caused by earth are the by-effects of the action of projectiles. Exploding bullets and shells drive small particles of dirt into the skin. The neck, face and other exposed portions of the body are usually affected. The mildest form is "tattooed skin," which appears as if covered with dirt, which cannot be removed either with soap or benzine, as the smallest particles of dirt have been driven into the skin. With the second form, abrasions with cyanosis and swelling, deep necrosis for 30 cents a day, which was fair wages. In his spare moments he watched the workers. Then he took up the iron. Soon he had a table and an iron, and was drawing a wage of $1 a day. For all that he was just a pressing club Negro, Clement Richardson writes in the Southern Workman. Nobody thought of him as anything else. In a few years the owner of the business, a white man, died. Frazer bought the business. As colored folk came in to bring and take back clothes, they inquired for a barber shop. Frazer fitted up a chair, bought a pair of clippers, and advertised for clients; that is, he at first cut hair for nothing. Then, as he mastered the art, he charged five cents, then ten cents, and so on till he reached the standard price of 25 cents. Meantime he had bought a farm and a horse. He said: "Till take this horse and land and make it pay for another place." Scarcely had he embarked on this proposition when a few choice acres of land on the west side of Auburn were put up for sale. Strangely enough, it was the land of Frazer's father's master. Frazer bought it. He put up a three-story building. He has abandoned the pressing club, but sells clothing. He still runs a barber shop in the rear of the store. His second floor is an assembly room for lodges and amusements. On the third floor he has an undertaking establishment. A few paces from the store he has built a home. A little further on he has put up a hotel cottage, a rare place in the South, with clean, airy rooms, and up-to-date cooking and service. Negro problems are to be considered as a part of the course in sociology at Howard university this year. Prof. Kelly Miller is to teach the first semester, and Dr. R. E. Parks, professional lecturer in sociology of Chicago university, is to teach the second semester of the subject. In order that the course may be available for city school teachers and others interested the time has been set for three o'clock Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The course is to embrace such topics as growth, distribution and tendency of Negro population, segregation, occupation, crime, vital statistics, education, religious and benevolent organizations, and also the discussion of remedial agencies and the general progress of the race. The advisability of naming colored bishops in the Protestant Episcopal church will be discussed at the general convention in St. Louis this month. A special commission of bishops, clergymen and laymen, appointed at the 1913 convention to investigate the question, has completed its reports, one a majority favoring the naming of colored bishops, the other a minority report opposing the proposal. The majority report, which includes the signature of the chairman, and bishops of North Carolina, Texas and Mississippi and the lay members from Virginia and Rhode Island recommends grouping the colored members of the church in the southern dioceses into one or more missionary districts over which colored bishops would be placed. The minority report is signed by the bishops of South Carolina and Georgia, Reverend Doctor Stires of New York and Judge Joseph Packard of Baltimore, who favor election of suffragan bishops for this work. executive committee opposed the appointment of the committee and urged the immediate indorsement of Mr. Hughes. President Jernagin, in speaking of the conditions among the colored race, said that in the last six months more than 500,000 colored persons had left the South for New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and northwestern states to take the places of foreign laborers who have returned to their respective countries. He asserted the employers are more than satisfied with them as laborers and are willing to employ 1,000,000 more. He said the leaders of the colored race feel that there are too many of their race in the South yet, and that every effort would be made to secure the migration of the surplus to northern and western states.

Soft, thick fabrics, loosely woven and luxurious looking, supply a deep, persistent undertone in the harmonies of the new fashions. There are many of them, christened with names more or less descriptive of their character which is decidedly furry. They suggest warmth and comfort and enhance the value of the new fashionable colors, being especially good in burgundy, prunelle, castor and dark brown. They call for fur in trimmings, but fur is scarce and therefore high priced.

"Well, young man," he said, rather patronizingly, "I suppose you are learning to speak good English. By-the-by, how long have you been in this country?" "Bout one year, meester" was the prompt reply. "You live here sometime, guess?" "Oh," answered the other, vaguely, with a mysterious smile, "Tye been here over a year." --- is more style in it. This coat would be improved by a little shortening. It is simple in width, simple in cut and line, and these are the things that insure grace. The sleeves are capacious, with wide, turned-back cuffs bordered with fur banding. In reviewing the styles presented for children, it appears that there is a long procession of coats that have been made in a considerable variety of materials and patterns. For practical wear there are models in serge wool velours. Scotch mixtures II and other durable cloths. Coats of corduroy and velvetteen are dressier but not less durable. They are shown in blue, brown, green and black. Among novelties, plushes and furfabrics woven in special patterns provide something new, unlike the materials with which everyone is familiar.

Julia Bottomly The young Greek regarded his customer with suspicion for a moment, and then, appearing to understand that he was being quizzed, said swiftly, with a dazzling smile, "Well, meester, I give you complimen'.

SELLERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago). (Copyright, 1918, Western Newspaper Union ) (Copyright, 1916, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR OCTOBER 15 APPEAL TO CAESAR. LESSON TEXT-Acts 25 (vv. 1-12). GOLDEN TEXT-It is enough for the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his Lord.-Math. 10:25. Teachers ought to urge their scholars to read Chapters 24, 25 and 26 thoroughly, and with the use of a map locate the places mentioned. The date of this lesson is A. D. 59, and it occurred at the crisis of the events which determined the way Paul should go to Rome, Nero being the emperor at that time. 1. Paul in the Prison at Caesarea (vv. 1.6). Paul was worn out, badly in need of rest, and is given during this imprisonment much freedom. He was accompanied by Luke, his physician, and probably some of his other friends. For almost 20 years Paul had been living a strenuous life, crowded full of labors that would have crushed an ordinary man. Now for some considerable time he had time to thoroughly master and assimilate the truth which he had been preaching, the results of which have come down to us in the form of letters, seven of which at least were written during and after the events of this lesson. His imprisonment also gave many of his friends opportunity to secure his counsel and guidance. The vindictiveness and hatred of the Jews is evident by this new plot whereby they sought the help of Festus against Paul. The corrupt Felix had been succeeded by a more upright man, Festus. The scheme of these enemies of Paul and of Jesus had already resulted in giving Paul an opportunity to preach Jesus as the Christ and the judge of men to persons who otherwise would not have been within the scope of his influence. Through his persecution he had reached leading officials and educated men of the Romans and of the Jews. Bunyan, in Bedford jail, and Luther in Wittenberg Castle, are illustrations of the principle that, "difficulties are the stones out of which all God's houses are built." The three days referred to in verse 1 evidently mean after the landing at Caesarea from his journey to Rome of this new governor. The principal men of the Jews immediately repeated the charges which Tertullius had falsely made. (See last lesson.) Notice they ask for a "favor," not justice, knowing if the favor were granted and they once secured Paul's presence in Jerusalem, they would have him in their power. Festus, however, answers that Paul shall be kept in Caesarea since he, himself, should be at the trial, and he was not intending to go to Jerusalem at that time; however, he guarantees a fair trial. Felix, on giving up his office to his successor, left Paul bound (Ch. 24:27) though he knew he ought to be released, but by this vile, iniquitous act, he gave Paul another one of his desired opportunities to witness for Christ in high places. The shrewdness of Festus saved Paul from falling into the trap of the Jews, for God was guiding Festus, and at the same time guarding Paul. II. Paul's Appeal to Caesar (vv. 7-12). The Jews made many and grievous complaints, but without bringing a single witness to prove their assertions. Doubtless these were the same old charges that had been brought before Felix through Tertullius two years before, and which now, as then, could not be proved. Paul was permitted to answer for himself, and he declared that he had broken neither the Jewish nor the Roman law. Most of the enemies of Christianity and of the Bible "lay many and grievous charges against it which they cannot prove." In all ages the enemies of God and his word mistake strong and confident charges and vilifications as proofs. Paul's life was absolutely clean, and he could say, "I have not sinned at all" (v. 8 R. V.) in any of the directions in which he was charged. Festus, as the newly appointed governor, desired to do the Jews a favor; literally, desired to gain their favor. Therefore he said to Paul, "Wilt go up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these things before me?" This amounted to an acquittal of Paul on the charges that would come under the Roman law. There remained only such charges as would naturally come before the Sanhedrin, and the question was whether Paul would accept an informal acquittal from the Roman court on condition that he submit to a trial before his own people on the other count. Festus wished to throw upon Paul the responsibility of refusing to go to Jerusalem, and to avoid displeasing the Jews. Paul indignantly stood up and said, "I am standing before Caesar's judgment seat" (vv. 10, 11, Read carefully). Paul was appealing to a proper tribunal, to one that had a famous reputation for its findings. He was exercising his rights as a Roman citizen. He was also in the exercise of those rights, using the means God had for his presentation of the Gospel in the City of Rome. Paul never abused the rulers of his nation (See Romans 9:3; 10:1). Even if Festus should acquit and release Paul, the Jews would fall upon him by assassins as they had twice before tried to do (23:12; 25:3) Festus got a courteous but a stinging and well deserved rebuke from his prisoner. Paul was perfectly willing to take any punishment he deserved, even unto death, but, having a clear conscience, he had no fear of Festus or any man. His appeal to Caesar was most unexpected. It confused Festus and baffled the Jews. The Lord's own words on his midnight visit to Paul in prison are here suggested (23:11). Festus could make but one decision, "Unto Caesar thou shalt go." Paul's sincere and open character was the means of his safety and power. In Placid Turkestan AT LAST I have discovered a country where the war is almost unknown, where normal conditions reign, and where life is going on just as it has for the last 2,000 years, unmoved by what is passing over it, writes Montgomery Schuyler to the New York Times. Not easy of access to foreigners at any time, Russian Turkestan, since the beginning of the war, has been a terra incognita to the traveler, and so far as I am aware I was the first to visit it since that time. The country is always under military rule and since its annexation by the Russian empire has been administered as a military territory by the war office. Through the necessary official channels I obtained permission to visit Turkestan, accompanied by my wife, and started off from Petrograd, in the middle of a snowstorm with intense cold and every evidence of midwinter. seen, a distance of miles, but the port and Andijan is with the traveler excels views of snow-cover the Chinese frontier Kokand for the time we leave the newsman occupation an old civilization archeological intercourse through us reached the old armenian Samarkand, known one of the outlying ture. The present is the third city to tically the same spat est Greek settlement haps three miles far There is little to be now except brick buildings covered deeply in the sand. We arrived after some five and a half days' steady traveling at Tashkent, the administrative capital of Russian Turkestan. This is a new city built by the Russians after the occupation of the neighboring districts between 1865 and 1868. It is laid out in the manner of all new Russian places, with wide boulevards radiating from a center as planned and running straight out into the country through fields and swamps, looking confidently to the future for the growth and population to come, for in the Russian empire, as nowhere else, the people follow the flag, and, indeed, sometimes precede it in this part of the world. Tashkent is obviously and unmistakably a city of the future, and allowance must be made for its present straggling character. There are, however, many handsome administrative buildings and military and educational establishments. Beautiful in Early Spring. Turkestan is now reached from Petrograd and Moscow by railway via Orenburg to Tashkent, or across the Caspian by steamer, a sea trip of only about 36 hours from Baku to Krasnovodsk. The most interesting way to go is as we did, out by Tashkent and back through Krasnovodsk and Baku. At Tashkent I was joined by a Russian officer, who had been detailed to accompany me on my travels in Turkestan, and who proved to be not only a charming companion, but of great help in arranging the details of the journey and in getting the necessary transportation and accommodations. We had already begun to feel the coming of spring after leaving the Ural mountains near Orenburg, and as we sped or rather crawled south and east the snow disappeared and the air became milder and balmier until as we stepped out of the train at Tashkent we were in the full glory of the early spring. There are few loveller sights than the coming of spring after the damp and unpleasant winter of Turkestan. There is hardly ever any wind in Tashkent, and the calm day after day is curious to the stranger within its gates. The rain and warm weather rapidly bring on the vegetation, and soon everything is covered with a delicate green, which blends with the pink and brown mud walls, the clear blue of the sky, and the glittering gold and yellow of the Russian Orthodox church edifices. From Tashkent we started on a detour of Kokand, seeing en route the fertile cotton fields of the Ferghana and Kokand districts, of which the city of Skobelovo is the administrative center. This town also is new and without interest. Some miles away is the old and ruined city which it has replaced, whose crumbling mud walls and deserted streets bear witness to the power of the railroad to draw people to itself. Dead Age Is Revitalized. From Andijan, near the border of Chinese Turkestan, the Transcaspian railroad stretches to the port of Krasnovodsk, on the shore of the Caspian over. New Bokhura or Kagan is the seat of a Russian political agent, who is the representative of the imperial government at the court of the emir of Bokhura, the most important native sovereign of this part of the world. In its way Bokhura is the most interesting of all the old cities of Turkestan. It was for centuries celebrated as a theological center of Mohammedanism. Does It Fit? A man's tendency to give advice is in inverse ratio to his ability to mind his own business. RETURNS FOR HIS BIRCHING Pupil, After Forty Years, Offers to Take Switching He Escaped By Fleeing School... A novel incident occurred on the streets of Milledgeville, Ga., recently. A tall, portly gentleman, the picture of health and vigor, came up to O. M. Cone, professor of mathematics in the Georgia Military college. The stranger carried a long hickory switch in his hand. He asked if this was Professor Cone, and being answered in the affirmative he said: "My name, sir, is John Leyman. Forty years ago, when you were teaching school in the old field school at Island Creek, in Hancock county, my parents then living in Florida, sent me up to your school. One day you decided that a good whipping was just what I needed to set me right, and you sent me out to get the switch. You may remember, sir, that I never came back. I saw my chance to escape and I ran away. This is the first time I have seen you since that day. But I seen, a distance of more than 1,100 miles, but the portion between Kokand and Andijan is without interest for the traveler except for occasional views of snow-covered mountains on the Chinese frontier. But on leaving Kokand for the trip to the Caspian, we leave the newer cities of the Russian occupation and enter regions of old civilization and historic and archeological interest. After a dusty journey through unwatered plains we reached the old and delightful city of Samarkand, known to all students as one of the outlying seats of Greek culture. The present town of Samarkand is the third city to be erected on practically the same spot, although the oldest Greek settlement was laid out perhaps three miles from the present site. There is little to be seen of the place now except bricks and outlines of buildings covered for the most part deeply in the sand which had drifted and blown over them for so long. Bazaars Are Interesting. Bazaars Are Interesting. But it is not alone for its memories of the past that Samarkand is interesting to the traveler. There is a busy but always sedate and grave business present in the city, and a stroll around the bazaars is full of surprises. The streets of the native town are only wide enough for one carriage at a time, and traffic would be greatly blocked if there were more than a very few horse-drawn vehicles in the city. As it is, nearly all freight and farm products are brought in on camels or on donkeys. The latter are the same sturdy, gray, and intelligent little beasts seen throughout the East and in Mexico and South America. They take their duties solemnly and refuse to be distracted by noise and confusion. Whole processions of the little fellows pass through the narrow ways or stop to be unloaded in front of the shops, which are nothing more than platforms built at the side of the street and surrounded with shelves for merchandise. Some of the streets in the bazaar are so narrow that they are like corridors in a building and are covered from the houses on each side by arched roofs, so that one can walk around and keep dry even in the hardest rain. On all sides there sit, gravely slipping their endless cups of tea and eating sweetmeats and dried fruits, the dark-faced merchants, many of them with long beards dyed red and with green turbans, showing that they have made the long holy pilgrimage to Mecca. The brilliance and charm of the scene are extraordinary. Men and women are clad in long, flowing gowns of the brightest silks in startling but always harmonious combinations—yellow, red, blue, and green. Not infrequently the little streets are dwarfed by the appearance of a long string of camels bringing huge bales of cotton or the heavier kinds of freight from the country districts. These animals are picturesque, but so stupid and vicious that they have to be tied in a long line with one of the intelligent little donkeys in front to show them where to go. The next city of importance on the line of the railway on the way to Krasnovodsk is Bokhara. The old historic town is some five miles from the railroad, with which it is connected by a branch line and by one of the worst carriage roads I have ever been over. New Bokhara or Kagan is the seat of a Russian political agent, who is the representative of the imperial government at the court of the emir of Bokhara, the most important native sovereign of this part of the world. In its way Bokhara is the most interesting of all the old cities of Turkestan. It was for centuries celebrated as a theological center of Mohammedanism. A man's tendency to give advice is in inverse ratio to his ability to mind his own business. have never felt right about the way I did, and I have come back now all the way from my home in Brunswick to take my whipping. Here is the switch." Of course, Professor Cone agreed, in the circumstances, to let bygones be bygones and he and his one-time pupil shook hands and had a good laugh together—New York Herald. Got Beyond His Depth. The other evening while a crowd of people were waiting for the power to be turned on so the street car could go on, a little boy of about five years old came along and wonderingly watched awhile and then said to the motorman: "What's the matter, ain't you got any gasoline?" And then after the crowd of people laughed, he said: "Oh! I didn't mean that," in a most embarrassed tone.—Cleveland Leader. Not for Him. Jones—I dare you to go over and speak to that lady over there. James—Not on your life. That's my wife, and besides, we ain't speakin' Does It Fit?

Miss Louise Disser of Denver lost in the federal district court at St. Louis a suit to establish her claim to a half interest in the $30,000 estate of her great-grandmother, Mrs. Mary Disser of Ferguson. Mrs. Disser, who died in 1914, made a will ten days before her death, providing that her estate should go to her son and her grand-daughter. On the same day a warranty deed was filed in which Mrs. Disser transferred her property to her son. The federal court hid that the warranty deed was genuine. Does Prohibition Prohibit? An organized effort is being made by the advocates of Prohibition to extend the enactment of prohibitory laws affecting the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages. We propose to discuss the question of desirability and practicability of Prohibition in a series of short and candid articles. These articles are intended for reasonable, moderate and fair-minded citizens. We do not need to persuade the converted and we do not expect to convert the extremists. These efforts are intended for the thousands of newspaper readers who are neutral and open to argument and conviction. Mere assertions and sweeping statements will not make any impression on such persons. They want facts, and sound, valid, honest reasons. They wish to know the merits of the case for Prohibition as well as the merits of the case against it. It is to such as they that we shall address ourselves, avoiding all generalities, assumptions, or question begging. We shall undertake to prove that Prohibition, wherever adopted, has signally failed; that while Prohibition stops the legal sale of alcoholic beverages, it produces a crop of new evils and problems, infinitely more vexatious than those Prohibition is intended to cure. A Most Competent Witness: THE AMERICAN PROHIBITION YEAR BOOK, 1916, [PAGE 13] "The liquor question is not settled. In spite of the 'white maps' which deceptively indicate that about three-quarters of the United States is 'dry,' and notwithstanding the claims set forth that one-half of the American people live under prohibition law, the liquor question is diminishing neither in size, importance, or complexity. . . . The application of local prohibition has not only failed to solve the problem, but has tended to aggravate the evil." The foregoing testimony states the facts truly and accurately and it is the intention of the persons who stand sponsors for the series of articles that are to follow to prove that Prohibition is a failure and inevitably must prove a failure. Follow the anti-Prohibition articles to which this is the introduction. Ask the Prohibitionists you know personally to read them and answer the arguments that are made in them. The Testimony of Topeka, Kansas Prohibition orators like to talk about Kansas. They boast that Prohibition has been proved to be workable in that state. They say "Kansas has solved the liquor problem." "This capital of Kansas, the citadel of prohibition in the United States, on incomplete reports filed in the office of O. K. Swayzee, County Clerk, consumed in 1915 more than 400,000 quarts of liquor, mostly whiskey. These reports are made by the three railroads and two express companies, and are official. They do not include the large amount of strong drink brought in suit cases and hand baggage. It is estimated that complete reports by the railroads and express companies, coupled with this latter-mentioned way of getting whiskey across the Missouri line, would total 500,000 quarts of liquor brought to Topeka and consumed by its inhabitants last year." Would not reasonable regulation, strict enforcement of licensing laws; honest dealing with the traffic by protecting the law-abiding dealer through the refusal of license to the unfit, help to solve this vexing problem. ?

Colonel Gardner, the Democratic candidate for governor, is circulating lithographs showing his own picture, with that of a cow, a horse and a factory, and a slogan in big type, "Let's put Missouri on the map." Judge Lamm, in answering the slogan on the stump, is saying: "If Missouri is not on the map, who in heaven's name is responsible for keeping it off?" Gardner is saying if he is elected governor he will take the police out of politics. Judge Lamm is saying: "If the police are now in politics, who put them in?" Gardner also promises, if elected, to stop the leaks in state finances. Judge Lamm is saying: "If there are leaks in the state's finances, who are responsible for them?" "Colonel Gardner is the first candidate I ever saw running for office who required an amendment to the state constitution to be electd," says Judg Lamm. Gardner's Land Bank Bill conflicts with the Constitution of Missouri and cannot be put into operation without a constitutional amendment. It provides for exemption from taxation of more than $40,000,000 of personal property. If this amendment is adopted it will be necessary to increase the tax on land to make up the deficiency in the state revenues. If the farmer receives cheaper mony by increasing his taxes he will cut off his nose to spite his face. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch says, "Undeniable attractiveness is lent to the Republican platform by its savage condemnation of nepotism and of barbarities at the State Prison and its pledge of home rule and of the introduction of the merit system into Missouri's entire civil service. "All the Democratic administration needs now to add the climax of damnation to its record is whitewash. A coat of whitewash will not conceal the school fund juggle, the penitentiary mismanagement, the nepotism, the extravagance and other sins of the administration; it will not cover the facts; it will not blind the people; it will only advertise the offenses."—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Due to the outrageous extravagance and mismanagement of the Democratis administration at Jefferson City, a deficit of approximately $2,600,000 will meet the incoming administration in 1917. If Col. Gardner claims a deficit of these proportions show good financial management, what kind of a government could the people expect under him. That there should be lunch rooms To the W.

M Scalp Specialist 2533 Woodland in all the larger colored schools in the city is amply demonstrated every school day especially on 18th street by the horde of children crowding the greasy, dirty, unsanitary Greek restaurants scattered along that thoroughfare where they do not hesitate to kill a negro over a five cent account, and where police officers say they have been seen hugging and fondling little school girls. There are number of colored places along the street but for some unaccountable reason they are not patronized by these children. Parents warn your children to stay out of these dumps or prepare to take the consequences which may be a broken heart and a disgraced family. The physician who participated in the organization of the Gardner-Wilson club this week will doubtless be given the office of "Face-Fixer," that is, he will keep the faces of the members straight while the orators are telling how Prof. Woodrow Wilson loves the "cullud brother." The introduction of departmental teaching into the upper grades of Lincoln School is announced by the principal to have been a decided success from the very beginning. Teachers and pupils are alike pleased and improvement in the quality of class work is already being noted. Just keep in mind that the U-53 could have destroyed Manhattan in the same time and manner that the five allied ships were sent to the bottom. We do not want war if it is to be honorably avoided but we ought to have a president who will not dilly-dally if any one shoots at us. Betty & Sam's Little Corner) A THEY SAY —That consternation reigned when the sheriff appeared at a well known society lady's home and served summons on club members. Some forgetting to be served. Some excitement, eh? —That a young man who married a young lady was attracted by her voice that he had forgotten to look to her other attainments, so that when they went to retire he was astonished to see a wig come off, next some false teeth, then an arm was laid upon a nearby chair, whereupon he exclaimed: "For de Lawd's sake, Mary, sing, Sing, Mary if yo' wants me to stay here." —That a primary teacher had just told little Anna to sit down, which Anna immediately did, but in such a manner that the teacher was soon calling out: "Anna, Anna, sit up. Why don't you sit up in that seat," "I can't," sweetly replied little Anna, "'cause you just told me to sit down." —That a certain man, when asked why he didn't advertise, said: "Well, they'll come anyhow." He was the only undertaker in town. That's a bad jolicy for any Kansas City business man to use, though. The people want to trade with the man they know is doing a big business. --- —That when the managers of one of the local poultry plants at Springfield heard that the A. M. E. Conference of colored brethren was to be held there, he ordered an extra carload of young springs, and when asked why, replied, "Oh, just to keep the supply normal." —That the Wattlington or K. of F. of the U. B. F. Drill Co. No. 1, won the first prize, a silver loving cup with gold trimmings, in a competitive drill, Friday evening, October 6th, from the champion drill team of the Odd Fellows or Patriciarle No. 147, of Kansas City, Kansas, at the Armory hall. Col. Neal Range and Adjt. Dan Lucas have a smile on their faces that won't come off. ON TEMPERANCE. Applying mathematics to the United States census report you will find that during 1913 the liquor interests contributed $13,485,460 to farm labor. Six "dry" states, Idaho, Arizona, Oregon, Colorado, North Lakota and Oklahoma have 4,235,948 inhabitants. The City of New York "wet" has 4,776,880 inhabitants. Eighty per cent of the people in America believe in Commercial and Personal Liberty and advocate Temperance. Temperance means "Moderation," regulated licensed saloons. Prohibition means "No License;" high taxes and bootleggers. The Anti-Saloonite says that Prohibition prohibits. Sure it does! It prohibits the licensed, legal, lawful selling of liquor; it prohibits the rightful revenues to go the government.

When the blind lead the blind, they both fall into the ditch. The national Negro Democratic organization that has labored in vain for a score of years to seduce the negro voters of the country into the Democratic party, under the leadership of Bishop Alexander Walters, of New York, the leading bishop of the African M. E. Zion church, has proven a colossal failure. The good bishop reached the zenith of his fame as a political prophet and Democratic leader four years ago, when he succeeded by taking advantage of the division in the Republican party ranks, in leading several thousands of his people to follow his leadership in supporting Woodrow Wilson for the presidency. But the bishop had a rude awakening. His eyes have been opened at last, and so have those of his deluded followers. The hopes of the negro Democratic band have been blasted by the duplicity of President Wilson, who turned his back on them when he entered the White House, and in the four short years he has been in power, has removed nearly every evidence of political advancement of Republican administrations for the last fifty years. Bishop Walters has proved to be a false leader and his followers have deserted him. His aged head is bowed down and his heart is saddene by the evidence of his own duplicity. He has been slaughtered in the house of his false friends, and with all his prestige as a leader gone, he bemoaned his fate in sack cloth and ashes, while he seeks to undo the great wrong to his people, for which he feels keenly the responsibility. A year ago last March, when Bishop Walters visited St. Louis to aid in the dedication of Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion church, his proud heart overflowed with grief over the disaster he had wrought abong his people, and in the presence of a large audience, composed of many of the most important white and colored people of St. Louis, gave vent to his lamentations, taking President Wilson and his administration severely to task for the outrageous treatment he had meted out to his people. He declared with the forceful eloquence for which he is noted as a pulpit orator, that President Wilson had misled him and his followers by promises of fair play, prior to his election, and after reaching the White House had ruthlessly undone the work of fifty years of race advancement made by the negroes by the policy of segregation and elimination practiced against them in the various departments of the Federal Government. In a burst of firey eloquence at the close of his address the bishop declared it to be his solemn belief that the only salvation for the negro in the future was to organize themselves and cast a solid vote for the Republican nominee for president in 1916. In an interview given out to the press a few days prior to his address Bishop Walters expressed himself on the political situation in the following unmistakable language: "Everybody knows, from the very nature of things, there can be no such thing as a negro Democrat, but a few of us thought it a wise thing to play Democratic politics. Our motive was to test the sincerity of the Democratic leaders who had long claimed to be our true friends, but had withheld their political help from us because of our blind allegiance to the Republican party." "I had known Mr. Wilson as governor of New Jersey, and regarded him as an upright and God fearing man, and when he gave us positive assurances that the people of my race would receive fair play under his administration, if he was elected, I decided to give him my support, and did all in my power to aid him in securing a large share of the negro vote, and I do not think it can be successfully denied that he received the largest negro vote ever cast for a Democratic candidate for the presidency." "To say that I was disappointed and surprised at Mr. Wilson's course in permitting the heads of the various departments at Washington to utro duce and enforce rules segregating the negro clerks and other employees, thus disturbing the era of good feeling between the races that had existed in the departments for nearly half a century, is putting' the case mildly. I was both grieved and indignant." "I called, on the president and had a talk with him about the matter, and while he gave me no assurance that he would interfere with the department heads, in their management, I still believe Mr. Wilson meant to do the right thing in the distribution of Federal patronage, when he came to make appointments, but when I saw most of the negroes who held positions YOU'VE TRIED THE REST, NOW TRY THE BEST. of honor and trust under the government replaced by white men, and saw the efforts of Southern congressmen to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment, I became truly alarmed and appealed to the United States senators to stay the hand of Southern prejudice and save us from disfranchisement." WILD BEASTS ON FIRING LINE Denizens of the Jungle Prowl Between British and German Armies In East Africa. The country through which the British forces under command of Gen. J. C. Smuts are operating in their conquest of German East Africa is probably the finest big game field in the world. "Every description of buck and other game," writes a trooper of the South African horse in a letter home, "can be seen daily ranging the flats, and although the bulk of them have moved away some little distance hardly a morning passes that at dawn we do not see droves of them careering between the various squadrons. They comprise chiefly wildbeest, eland, hartebeest, gemsbok, rookbok, gyrsbok, and springbok. In addition there abound all sorts of wild creatures—lions, leopards, wolves, hyenas, wild pigs, giraffes, also ostriches. "The noises of the night are most uncanny. Mingled with the howling of the jackals we hear the laugh of hyenas and the deep grintings of pigs. A horse died the other night, and although a sentry was not 20 yards away, only a part of the carcass was left at daybreak. "The worst enemies' our horses—and ourselves—have to contend with are bush lice. These tenacious vermin are a great source of trouble. They fasten on the legs and muscles of the horses as the latter graze. They are reckoned to be a prolific source of disease, not only among the animals but among human beings." SWISS RUN MODEL HOTELS Hostelries In New Helvetia, Uruguay Are a Sample of the Progressive Methods of the Race. Wherever the Swiss go they establish good hotels. In Uruguay there is a Swiss colony, called New Helvetia, devoted largely to farming. The land, which was one of the garden spots of Uruguay, was divided into small farms and sold to Swiss colonists more than fifty years ago at a low price and on easy terms. The ordinary products of the farm have found a wider and wider market, and in the last few years the dairy interest has become noted. Grapes and other fruits are also extensively cultivated. Now that the section is reached by railways it is becoming very well known. The good hotels offer a pleasant resting place for excursionists from Montevideo and Buenos Aires. The people are well off and adopt modern methods of living. Concerning "Slackers." Concerning "slackers." Of all the new words that the war has given us, "slackers" is one of the surest to serve. Of course, the word wasn't new in England, but it had no general currency in America before we heard it applied to those who held back from recruiting. The Continent (Chicago) seizes upon it as a useful whip in the modern religious world. Jesus knew the slackers, says the writer, and he enjoined upon them to "let your loins be girded about, and your lamps burning, and be ye yourselfs like unto men looking for their Lord." The metaphor derives from the flowing robes of the Oriental dress, which, loosened and hanging from the shoulders in times of relaxation, had to be drawn by a tight girdle around the waist when anything was to be done. The writer observes that Jesus very well knew that "any Christian who fell into the way of loosening now and again the service belt of his life would soon forfeit the power to tighten up his belt to the old notch of thoroughness.—Literary Digest. New Methods at Lloyds. Old-fashioned business methods in marine insurance, which is centered at Lloyds, in London, have gone by the board as a result of new conditions. Until the first of March a shipowner who wanted insurance approached a broker at Lloyds, who set down the particulars on a slip of paper and passed it to different underwriters, who wrote on it the amount of liability they were willing to assume and appended their initials. This paper, after several weeks' delay, frequently reached the assured in a torn and grim condition, it is said. The new scheme provides for a central office with a staff of woman clerks, superintended with an underwriting expert, and policies will be issued the same day they are applied for. WHAT THEY WILL DO.

D. WALLACE, Manager ‘THE LAUNDREBS’ FRIEND. ‘This article, we are bound at the outset to say, is an argument in fayor BE Se NARS RERAS, SDS netine ity for this argument arises from the fact that the washing machine daily is “knocked” by the women who earn their living by doing laundry work for families other than their own, We admit, that it 1s no more than to be expected that the machine which is designed primarily to prevent back- breaking, knuckle rubbing and other agonies endured by the women of this country on wash day, should be vigor- ously assailed and denounced by the /women for whom it was invented. It is a well-known fact that all new Anventions/ are considered as having been designed to do away with the work of the laboring class of people, which is untrue from beginning to end, though it seems very often a dif- ficult. matter to convince the public that this is true, In the first place, the reason for inventions is that the supply of efficient, capable and pains- taking laboring people does not equal the demand, Second, the demand for a product must be supplied if business Is to be carried on, so that when the supply of Inborers is limited, some sort of machinery must be made that will enable this demand to be met with by a full supply. It is this lack of manu- factured products in any line that makes the price go up. Third, the demand for shorter hours and more pay must be met with, and then only by the invention of some sort of ma- chinery that will enable the worker to produce as much goods in the shorter time as the worker formtrly produced in a longer time. Anyone can see this, How about this washing machine? How many women really have looked into the matter to see Just how it can help them? It is pretty conclusive fact that any woman who hires her work done will gladly purchase a washing machine if the “help” wants it. And why then, shouldn't the help want it? It saves energy. And how many women go home nights tired, too tired to cook supper and be as pleasant to the family as they should be Saves energy! Saves your health in other words. And saves ‘her clothes. Show an interest in your employer; she's bound to appreciate it by getting one of these machines. ‘Don't be afraid that she will turn you off. If they're able to buy a machine, ‘they'll still want you to run it, and if you learn to do that well, you've “clinched your job, and made the work easier for yourself. fo the women who do laundry work at home, this machine offers an oppor- ‘tunity to more than double your in- | come.

Ge LOOTERS By GENEVIEVE ULMAR ‘Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman.) Sidney Ward was on the road to euecess and was both grateful and modest, He had only one care In life —Myra, He did not know if Myra Dal- worth knew her mind. He loved her, however, She was kindly and gra- clons, but he had a rival, Gene Partin, Sidney was a lawyer, but had grad- ually drifted from his professional ca- pacity into polities. A reform tmove- ment had come along and he had been induced to allow his name to be placed on that ticket, ‘The result was that be was elected prosecuting attorney. At the end of two years the spolls- men of the party put up a strong local fight. The city needed the right man Mn the right place. Sidney was elected mayor by a flattering majority, Partin was ousted from a position as assessor but on the county ticket was made 4 Justice of the peace. This was quite a come-down for that free-and-easy spendthrift, but he managed to maintain an automobile and wear good clothes, boasting of 3 rich uncle In another state and a pros pective heitship. He had a pleasing way and was popular and Myra's fam fly rather favored him in preference tc Sidney, but the latter had heard o some wild doings of bis in the city and, leaving all personal hopes aside would have grieved to see him the hus Yand of a bright, tnnocent girl itk Myra. Sidney was delighted when Myre and a gitl friend, both considerably In terested In charitable and humunt tarian work about the city, came to hi ‘office one day, Myra had a slip of pa | ls OTT ny pA Vc — per in her hand on which a name and mumber were written. She handed it to Sidney. “Mr. Mayor,” she said, “we have gome to ask a favor of you In line ith the uplift work of our society.” “Jerome Boyce, 971,’ read Sidney, “wants a position, I suppose—most of any applicants do.” * “No, no, Mr. Mayor," explained Myra, quite on her maidenly dignity dn treating of official business—"“we ‘vant a pardon.” “For this man?" inquired Sidney. “Yes, Mr. Mayor. He has been set nt breaking stone, He tis old, fll, has friends he can go to, His offense was drinking to excess and Mr, Partin—" “You mean Mr, Justice of the Peace,” reminded Sidney with a smile, “If not, why distinguish In your selec- tion of stif? official names?” “But a justice Is not a mayor,” ob- served Myra, with an expression on her face that emphasized the estima- tion in which she held his lofty idignity. “Besides, it is a good deal to ‘ask you to turn loose a man on the community who was in the past ut east a confessed criminal.” “And you have assured yourself that ‘this Jerome Boyce is worthy of leni- ‘ency?” interrogated Sidney with busi- nesslike gravity. “Ob, indeed, yes," replied Myra promptly. “I—I vouch for him.” “That Is a full guarantee for this eportment at all thes," declared Sid ney, and he felt rewarded by the most {grateful glow In Myra’s eyes as he ‘filled in a pardon blank. “How good you are,” said Myra, “poth to us and to this poor man,” Sidney forgot all about the incident ‘until late in the afternoon, He was about to leave his office for the day when a poorly clad stranger shuffled Anto the room. “I'm Jerome Boyce,” he announced “and the young lady said you would help me a bit on my way.” “Oh, yes, I remember,” answere¢ (Sidney, “What are your needs, m; man?” “Just car fare to Hampden, I'm ‘through with the rond, and, what's qworse, the jimmy. I've a sister living at Hampden and I can bunk in if 1 [be respectable.” | “Ig that sufficient to carry yo ‘through ?” asked Sidney, extending ¢ ten-dollar bill. ; “Oh, it’s only a dollar and a hal ‘the railroad fare.” “Just keep the rest for being hones enough to say 50,” spoke Sidney. HI placed his hand on the shonider of th mun and fixed his glance. “My friend, he sald, “if hard lines strike you, an don't waver from the straigh yond, let me know and TU give you. cpetpios bande Bless you!" choked out bis. per _ slone ear ihre pen ineronnbady Be pas About to cross th Peet oh Bed. Sidue fed Pesiintingly: ‘hen b the room us If to ai sure himself that they were alone. He came nearer to the mayor. “T've something to say that my old pals might call ‘double crossing,” he spoke Inu low tone, “but you've made me fee! like « man and T want to give you a warning. In the Jail I met some eld pals, They put me wise to a job you're Interested in.” “Why, how is that?” inquired the puzzled Sidney. | “You generally carry a big sum in city funds in that safe yonder, don't you?” “On occasions,” admitted Sidney. “What of it?" “Someone's after It. See hore, there's a part of a city gang hired to tap that strong box some dark night." “Hired? you mean—” “The man who sentenced me, your Justice of the peace here, is behind the Scheme,” “Mr. Partin? Oh, Incredible, mant Don't tell me that nonsense!" “It’s true,” persisted the man, “and you'll be wise if you heed my warn ing.” Sidney Ward sat ruminating over the startling disclosure long after his peusioner had departed. He could not but disbelieve any connection of Par- tin with a scheme of robbery, He had heard that Partin was In narrow ready money straits, but he decided that, out of hatred toward Partin for sentencing him, Boyce lind attempted to cast sus- plelon upon him, Besides that, Partin had gone to the city for a week a few days previous und this did not look as though he was linked up with any lo- cal misdoings. Still, It was best to be on guard, for Boyce had been very earnest in what he had sald, Sidney unlocked the safe. From an inner compartment he re- moved a large box envelope containing the entire local tax collection {n large denomination bills to be shipped to the county seat the last day of the month. ‘Then, about to close the safe, a qmver smile crossed the face of Sidney. He went over to his desk and fished out a package done up in a newspaper. Opening It, he revealed what looked like thousands and thousands of dol: lars in government bank bills. ‘This he placed in the safe, relocked It, went to the bank, found some of the clerk: there and placed the money envelope In their charge on a trust receipt. | Two nights Inter the mayor's oMe was burglarized, the safe blown open ‘Two days later three men were arrest ed in a neighboring city for passing counterfelt money. One of them wa: Gene Partin, and he never returned, Somehow the wisdom and prudence of the mayor leaked out and he re ceived an ovation, He told Myra con fidentially of how her part in bringing Boyce to his notice had defeated th looters. “You deserve to be mayor,” he de clared, “You may be mayoress, if yor Will say the word, Myra. Do I deserve the happiness I crave?” “You could have asked me tha question long since,” sald Myra. “And you would have sald—" “Yes, of course,” answered Myra and the official lips greeted her loya ones with the first love kiss. Young but Wise. ‘The old baby crawled along the floor until he came to the side of the crib. ‘Then he pulled himself up until he stood on lis feet and looked over and down on the new baby. “Just arrived?” he said. “Yes.” “Well, let me give you a plece of na- vice, I've been hear a couple of months and know the whole game.

The customer disregarded the small whisky glass and poured the larger glass almost to the top and drank the flery liquid like so much milk, He then luld a dime down on the bar. The bartender took the coln, rang up a ‘nickel on the cash register and gave him back the change. “Gee, I thought a drink of whisky was a dime here,” the stranger sald. “Oh, no,” returned the bartender, “You see when we sell It like that we give wholesale prices."—Exchange, Clock Proved a Friend, Alice takes muste lessons and con: slders it a great hardship to have to practice one-half hour each day.

Griffin, chief of the bureau of steam engineering, according to a writer in the New York Sun, These engines, which will be of the electric-drive type, are expected to push the 900-foot ships through rough seas at a speed approaching 35 knots; that is, about four knots better than the latest United States destroyers and at the rate of a passenger train running on a carefully xraded road, | When Admiral Griffin tells the story one gains from his manner the impression that about all he had to do was to speak to Captain Dyson about It and the design of these $6,000,000 en- gines sprang into existence; but those who know the admiral have their own opinion about that; and it differs somewhat radically from the im- pression, “Yes,” said the chief, “at first {t was rather appalling when we realized the magnitude of those engines, The largest in any of our battleships give 25,000 horse power; those of the Lusitania | were 70,000; and it fs sald that those which drive the English Tiger at about 30 knots are from 80,- 000 to 120,000. So one can see that we had to make a leap, and at first it seemed like a leap in | the dark, to provide approximately 200,000 horse power, But somehow, when we got the conditions right before us, everything seemed to unfold itself and fall Into the right place and there really was little difficulty, “We saw at the outset that It was Impossible to control and apply the power without adopting | oll fuel and the electric drive, In the great | mercantile ships like the Aquitania and the | vereriang. we had examples of the 900-foot boats with a speed of 25 or 26 knots, but it is the last few knots which are so difficult to get. Very roughly speaking, the new cruisers steam- ing at 15 knots will consume the equivalent of 190 tons of coal a day, and to attain somewhere hetween 34 apd 85 knots will burn up the same quantity in one hour; to put ft another way, the coal required to drive one of these cruisers at full speed for a day will drive a battleship across the Atlantic and back. If full speed can be main- tained steadily for three days and seven hours it will take one from New York to Liverpool; but as that would require 12,000 tons of coal it is certain that such a run will never be attempted on coal fuel, “No one can tell what the chemlst-engineer of the future will do; but until something ts found hattle cruisers will have to depend upon oll to convert water into steam; and without that sub- stitute they cannot be driven many consecutive hours at full speed. It would not be possible to transmit so much power on one shaft or one screw.

It is known to be effective, but it 1s not as simple in the applica- tion as in the telling. To the troubles of the steam engine are now added the dangers of the electric current, and the engineer must have mas- tered electricity as well as steam, If the steam from 200,000-horse-power boilers could rend the ship, the current {t would generate, misapplied, would work untold harm to ship and crew. “One of the disadvantages of a single engine or @ single turbine {s that it must be in one large compartment, and if this is broached from the outside the flow of water fills the entire space, puts all the machinery within {t out of commission and places the ship In great danger. With the electric drive every motor, generator and turbine can be isolated, thus adding to the safety of the vessel. ‘The electric drive is not an experiment, It has been operated on the naval collier Jupiter and on {ts trial trips the perfect success of this way of gearing down the power was proved be- yond a reasonable doubt. ‘This system ts also be- ing installed in the latest battleships, the New Mexico, Tennessee and California, “There are“several reasons why the cruisers must be so much longer than the dreadnaughts— ‘approximately half as long again. ‘The most im- portant of these is to insure the fineness of line forward and the long smooth run indispensable to speed, with sufficient buoyancy to sustain the un- ayoldably great welghts of hull, equipment and engines, Another reason Ys to provide space enough for the number of boilers which will sup- ply steam to the turbines, ‘The Oklahoma re- quires 14 water tube bollers to furnish her steam ; and on that basis the new ships will require 84, although it probably will not work out In Just that way, ‘These boilers will contain many miles of tubing. “A special problem for the engineer after the design of her hull has been fixed, is to determine the size of each of the propellers, thelr position and the pitch of the blades. A factor in solving this 1s the number of revolutions which the en- gines will give and the number which will give the best results, Although we have built no ships of this size and design and have no relative data to guide us, the solution presents no great diff culty, as Captain Dyson Is a recognized expert in this Ine and will take care of this situation. “The bureau of steam engineering will have to lay miles of wiring for electric Ughts and signals in a very limited space, at least as many as a town of 15,000 inhabitants would need. For this purpose we will supply separate generators; but by way of precaution provision will be made for coupling the lighting system with the generators whieh drive the propellers. “Tt 18 needless to say that In working out the designs there will be constant co-operation be tween this bureau, the naval constructors, the ordnance department, the builders of the ships CONDENSATIONS THE PERKIDS ~ OUR FASTEST QESTROYERs J.

If it were not for the English crulsers, which would seek and cut them down one by one, the German battle cruisers, in spite of all the battleships of the Eng- lish nayy, would go to sea and make all kinds of trouble for the ships bearing to the alles munl- tions, food supplies and money pald for the manu- factured articles which the allies in’ thelr ships fare sending to the markets of the world because they have sea control. “The battle off Jutland most certainly has no established anything not already known against the cruiser, No one ever had the slightest reason to suppose that one could engage a battleship at any range on equal terms. ‘The naval engineers put all the expensive and powerful machinery in them; the designers of the hull gave them the fine Ings to keep them at a long range from the backbone of the fleet; and when that speed was used to take them close to the battleships the tn- evitable happened. “As a scouting force to locate the enemy these swift powerful ships break through a screen and accomplish what they were intended to do; and there is no doubt that as the swift wing of a fleet they will be invaluable in pursuit of an enemy and in certain other fleet maneuvers. ‘That they cannot be successfully opposed to battleships no more proves that they are unfit for thelr strategic functions than the inability of English battleships to overtake the German cruiser fleet proves that they are unable to give and receive blows, “So, because battle cruisers have thelr own tm- portant functions, both in and out of the fleet the United States navy must have them, and the more of them and the sooner the better; for the navy Is the one means of defense against a mill tary nation,” A bird that cannot fly is the black woodhen of New Zealand. ‘The industrial accidents. of New York state are more than 600 a day.

Here's the gas convenient," and Dale Newman leaned towards the jet blazing over his head and deliberately lit a five-dollar bill to start his cigar. Walter Nixon was too well-bred to express the startled wonder he experienced. He was awed and his face showed it. Within the hour, ever since he had joined his friend it had been one grand round of expense—an automobile drive to save walking a block, fifty-cent cigars, an eight-dollar dinner and princely tips all along the line. "If the lake wasn't so choppy I would take you out in my yacht," observed Newman grandly, and Walter was more impressed than ever with the greatness of this Croesus, developed from a poor, idle country boy, all within two years' space of time. "Glad you looked me up," said Newman, as they arose to leave the cafe, "Won't stay at my apartments for the night? Got to catch the train? Sorry, but arrange to come up to the city later and put in a couple of weeks with me, will you?" "I'll be glad to," voiced Walter, but the tones were not genuine. The vast contrast between their positions pained Walter, for he was proud and ambitious. Despite himself, all the way homeward bound on the train he could not help but envy this fortunate friend. It was only when he came A "Going West," Explained Newman. within the peaceful circle of home, humble but full of comfort and love, that he censured himself for allowing covetousness to disturb the usual serenity of his mind. And then Violet Moore, to whom he was engaged. Gold and luxury were as dross compared to her, and in their next happy stroll he confessed the pangs he had experienced at comparing his narrow plodding life with the gay butterfly existence in the magic city. Amid the preparations for their wedding Violet and Walter would have forgotten Newman, so happy were they, but for Madge Wilder. She was the chosen friend of Violet. When Dale Newman left Rayfield he was all but engaged to Madge. She had every right to believe that their first correspondence would continue. It did not. Amid the glare and glitter of the city Newman apparently had forgotten all about his village love. "He did not even ask about her," Walter told Violet. "Then he has cast away a rare jewel," spoke Violet. "When I see Madge's sad, patient face my only consolation is that he was never worthy of her." They sent an invitation to the wedding to Newman. Awaiting its acknowledgment Madge was in a rare flutter. In the long past she and Newman had spoken of "standing up" with their two friends. A splendid set of silver duly arrived, and regrets. "Too busy making money to spare us a few hours," remarked Walter, and the last fond hope of Madge was extinguished. The wedding took place and Walter and his wife settled down in a pretty cozy home, at which Madge was a welcome visitor. Walter never thought of his old city ambitions now. Life seemed to have brought him its full meed. He had a pleasant working position, many loyal friends and the home cot was a veritable haven of peace. Walter was coming home' just after dusk one Saturday evening when someone, a satchel in hand, stepped from behind a tree, confronting him. "Why, Newman!" exclaimed Walter, truly surprised to recognize his long absent friend. He scanned Newman curiously, for the latter seemed nervous, anxious, ill at ease. "Going West," explained Newman, "and thought I'd give you a call. I'm taking the midnight train." "Come right up to the house," invited Walter spontaneously. "Violet will be as glad as I am to see you. Why, I declare! it makes me happy to see you again, old chum." "Can't stay but an hour or so," declared Newman. "This your place? It's a gem. Say, Nixon, I just want to sit down on this garden seat and drink in this delightful air and the pretty scene. Why, it's like a glimpse of paradise, after that sweltering, devouring gambling exchange in the city." Walter noticed that Newman kept the satchel close beside him, and, too, a hunted, uneasy look constantly traversed his face. He suggested a per- son under some vast strain of dread or suspense. Then gradually a more restful relief was manifest in the troubled eyes. Newman started up as a light was turned on in the little parlor of the house, the open windows of which confronted him. Walter caught the echo of a quick sharp gasp. Well he might! Mrs. Nixon had entered the room and with her was Madge. Walter did not speak a word or make a move to disturb Newman. He watched him mutely. He could discern that some great impression was being made on the city hardened speculator by the homelike picture before him. It was indeed a fair scene, an appealing one to Newman. Violet had gone to the piano. She was playing a pretty sentimental strain. Madge sat listening intently, her eyes fixed on vacancy, her beautiful soul expressed in her lovely face. Never had Walter seen her look more attractive. The man beside him must have shared the conception, for abruptly he arose to his feet. He uttered almost a savage groun, like a being in pain, yet Walter caught the gleam of tears in his eyes. "What I have missed!" he muttered bitterly, and then, "but too late now!" This man was deeply affected. Walter, who comprehended the full situation, half whispered in the ear of his companion. "The love of a woman like Madge never changes." "You don't know that!" cried Newman sharply. "Yes, I do," asserted Walter, and his hand rested lightly on the arm of Newman. "Old friend, stay with us a week, a month, and get back some of the old-time contentment and peace." "If I thought I would be welcome—" "By loyal loving hearts, and one in particular," pledged Walter earnestly. "Don't cast aside the sure anchor of fidelity and happiness." "Till be back, I'll be back here Monday," faltered Newman, and he was like a man groping as he started for the street. "No, I couldn't stay just now. Leave me to myself, Nixon. I'm fighting the crisis of my life." He was true to his word. Walter tried to figure out what evolution this man's mind was undergoing, for when Newman reappeared Monday evening the flash of diamonds was absent, his attire was more in keeping with that of commonplace people, his manner was subdued, or rather, tranquil. "Pm coming back to stay," he told Nixon two days later, and Madge, happy Madge was at his side as he told it. "I'm through with the city, and when you have time, Nixon, my fiancee and I want to look over the plans of that neat little bungalow of yours." "It's come out all right!" jubilated Violet that evening. "Mr. Newman has made his peace with Madge and her heart is just singing with delight all of the time." "Nixon," said Newman somewhat later, "this is between you and me—the others must never know. You remember the night I came down here to go West?" Walter nodded to his friend. "In that satchel I carried there was nearly one hundred thousand dollars of other people's money. I was going to leave the country with it. The sight of your happiness, of Madge turned the tide. I haven't got much left, but I put back the money, paid my debts and I'm through with the city. Oh, friends and Madge are worth it all, ten times over!" Worst Days for Anoplexy It is the lethargic, full-blooded, thick and short-necked subject who eats and drinks more than is good for him and who does not take sufficient exercise who most frequently falls a victim to apoplectic seizures, according to the New York Medical Journal. Quoting Dr. F. Barlow, it says "the majority of seizures occur on Sunday or Monday, owing probably to the greater indulgence in the joys of the table on the day of rest and the slight increase in excitement consequent on the return to business." Big eaters and cocoa drinkers are just as liable to it as heavy drinkers. "Alcohol is frequently made the scapegoat for an attack of this character, when really excessive eating is to blame." It is easier to prevent than to cure apoplexy. Moderation in eating and drinking and regular action of the bowels are the very best preventives.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1916 TO ECONOMIZE DIGESTION The Eating of Vegetables Without Mastication Is Productive of Gastric Rebellion. Indigestion is often attributed to hasty eating, and people are reproved and rightly so, for bolting their food; but it is interesting to observe that while the bolting of meat is always severely censured, one never hears any blame attached to those who swallow fruit by the mouthful, and devour uncooked vegetables without any attempt at mastication. Nevertheless, it is the hasty swallower of vegetable fiber who is really the inciter of gastric rebellion. Vegetables are, at all times, very imperfectly digested by the stomach, and require their tough fibers to be thoroughly broken up by the teeth if they are to be dissolved even in the bowel. There is a well-known saying which avers that digestion waits upon appetite, and there is no doubt that of all the helps to digestion a keen desire for food is the most powerful and important. But appetite itself often depends upon conditions which are independent of the body's absolute necessities. Thus the aspect of the food, its smell, taste and even the manner in which it is served, all help either to stimulate a desire for it, or to induce a sense of aversion, while the environment of the diner often exercises important influence, beneficial or otherwise. Brain work of any kind interferes with the rapid digestion of food, and even the habit of reading during meal times, practiced by so many, is conducive neither to appetite nor digestion. A well-lighted room, music and frivolous conversation will often permit a chronic dyspeptic to enjoy without remorse the pleasures of the table, while a depressing atmosphere, uncongenial company and unappetizing dishes may induce a fit of indigestion in the most healthy individual—Food and Cookery. COOKING UTENSILS OF GLASS Baking Dishes Made of New Material Have Been Found Very Satisfactory and Almost Unbreakable. A new material now on the market for cooking utensils is glass. A great variety of cooking dishes are made, but the baking dishes or casseroles, would probably appeal most to the home-keeper. No silver or copper container is required for the casserole when put on the table and hence they are comparatively inexpensive. A great variety of dishes have been cooked in the glass casserole with splendid results. The material is cooked uniformly throughout the dish, due to the conductivity of glass and the results have been just as good with a souffle as with a meat plie. The oven can be better regulated since one can see the material cooking in the dish—i. e. one can see whether it is cooking too fast or too slow. The utensils are attractive, and seem to be almost unbreakable. The casserole has proved to be the most satisfactory baking dish we have ever used.-Magdalene Hahn, Colorado Agricultural College, Fort Collins, Colo. Pepper Meat Cups. Take as many large peppers as you need, either green or red, but of the sweet variety, and as round as you can get them. Cut off the tops, take out the seeds, pour boiling water over them and cook gently for five minutes. Drain well, place in a baking dish and fill with a mixture made according to these directions: Take enough of the white meat of chicken—other meats will do if you have no cooked chicken on hand—fill a cup with the meat chopped fine, one and a half cupfuls of bread crumbs moistened with a little hot water to swell them; also a large tomato peeled and chopped, with two teaspoonfuls of grated or chopped onion, an ounce of butter, a level tablespoonful of chopped parsley, half a teaspoonful of salt, a dash of red pepper and a raw egg well beaten. Pour a little stock or hot water around the peppers and a very little over each one and bake 25 minutes.—New York Sun. Brine for Pickles It is the custom with vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers to soak them in brine before putting them through the regular pickling process. The brine is probably used because it withdraws moisture from the tissue of the vegetable and makes it possible to obtain a firmer result, renders a milder flavor, gives the desired salt taste, and adds to the keeping quality of the pickles. The strength of the brine required depends on the length of time the vegetable to be pickled is to remain in the brine. Too strong a brine softens and spoils the vegetable. The proportions should be: To one quart of water add one-third to one-half cupful salt. The brine should be strong enough to float a fresh egg. Chocolate Hearts. Two ounces of butter, two ounces of cornstarch, two ounces of grated chocolate, a tablespoonful of milk, two eggs, one-quarter tablespoonful of baking powder, three ounces of powdered sugar. Cream the butter and sugar together, beat in the eggs, next add the chocolate, cornstarch, baking powder and sufficient milk to make a thick batter (rather over a tablespoonful may be required). Have ready 12 little heart-shaped tins well greased. Divide the mixture between them and bake for half an hour in a moderate oven. Fricassee Giblets. Thoroughly wash the wings, neck, stomach, heart, liver and feet of any fowl, cut off claws at first joint of each toe and scald feet in boiling water; this loosens scaly cuticle and it is easily removed. Place the other parts in pot with feet and cover with water. Add a small onion, pepper and salt. Boll till tender. When done thicken liquid with browned flour and butter. Stir in a little parsley. --- THREE PIECE SETS HAT, SCARF AND MUFF THAT MATCH ARE MUCH IN FAVOR.

The scarf may be worn open, as illustrated, or it may be draped high about the throat. A narrow band of ermine borders the scarf on either side and an ermine-covered button of generous size serves to conceal the scarf's fastening. The small round muff is edged with ermine. Color of velvet used and type of fur may be varied to suit the individual taste.

French women are notably well dressed, and in large measure they accomplish this result not so much by the richness and variety of their costumes as by the individuality and smartness of their accessories. Charming hat shapes may be bought all ready to be covered and trimmed, and either of the sets illustrated could be perfected without a great outlay of either time or money. One-Piece Frocks Popular. We are inluded with one-piece frocks made of satin, gabardine, velours and velvet. Chiffon plays a larger part than georgette crepe, and embroidery is spread over the surface of the frocks, but does not touch the tailored suits. The best choice of material in these is velours. The best style at the present moment is the moderately long and wide skirt arranged to hang limply against the body, and a coat that is reminiscent of the days when men dressed in a more conspicuous manner than they do now—a coat that is tightly buttoned in at the waist, has a full peplum cut on an even line halfway between knees and waist without stint of fullness in its folds, and wide revers and collars that again suggest the directoire. With these are worn high, draped collars with full frills in front. Those who seek something new in every form Sequins in Trimmings. Sequins appear in bands of the elaborate trimming in keeping with the elaboration of this season's styles and materials. They are beautiful and effective in mother of pearl iridescent, in bands set solidly with sequins or the sequins forming patterns on a white net. They also appear in all the new colors. There are bands showing designs in different tones of the wine red, which is one of the new shades; there are the bright blues, sometimes combined with a line of black sequins which strengthens the effect. There are the trimmings in black sequins, solid straight bands, or set solidly in designs giving a fancy edge. There is always the gold and silver embroidery on net in many widths and designs.

Novel Use for Old Bangle. Most of us possess an old bangle, and our sketch shows a novel way in which it may be utilized in making it do duty as a safety pin holder. House pins and brooches can also be fastened upon it in the way illustrated. All that has to be done is to tare a pret Pretty Safety Pin Holder. tily colored piece of ribbon upon one side of the bangle and arrange it in a long loop that can be slipped over the post of the looking-glass. Should one be available, an old bracelet with a clasp can be used in the same manner, and will be found even more handy than a bangle, as the bracelet can be unfastened and pins and brooches easily slipped upon it, and also it will form a very safe holder for rings, from which they cannot fall off and get lost. Fashion's Whims. Fine metallic thread embroidery is featured in many of the new French model frocks. In underwear the empire waistline is noticeable this autumn. Another noticeable detail of autumn lingerie is the number of fine pin tucks which appear. Much lace is used to trim Italian silk underwear. Ostrich feather for trimming finds a place in autumn fashions. Clipped ostrich feather fans are shown in the smart shops and they will probably be much used with the new evening frocks. For the Stout Young Lady. It would appear that Dame Fashion devotes more than enough time to the styles for the slim and well-rounded young lady and gives scant time and attention to her stouter sister, who finds it hard to dress becomingly and in the latest style without accentuating her stoutness. This is one of the many new fall fashions to which much care has been given. It is of plaid taf- Copyright Underwood & Hobartwood feta overskirt with plain taffeta bodice, sleeves and underskirt. It possesses very effective sleeve gatherings, which are trimmed with buttons. The collar is of taffeta finished with jet ornaments. plify, but it will bend to the will as readily as the sitting room. Keep in mind just two things—with good outline a bedroom is furnished once in a lifetime. Then remember color. It is astonishing what can be done in the most economical fashion in the world with color in the bedroom. One does not need a single bit of white from start to finish except in sheets, pillow cases and towels. Plunge into color for the window draperies, for the outside spread for the bed and for the rugs. Economy in Skirts. The jersey silk skirts common are rather expensive, whether bought in the shops or made at home, but the same effect may be had in charmeuse for a great deal less. A lovely tub skirt of charmeuse can be made at home for $4, and for $1 more it can have some fancy box plaits. It is equally important to note that white skirts are a great saving of time where the washing is done at home. These can be put into the boiler with the other white clothes. WASHINGTON GOSSIP Designing Great Field Howitzers for Our Army WASHINGTON.—Army ordnance experts are at work on designs for huge field howitzers as large as or larger than the German 42-centimeter guns which wrecked Belgium and French forts early in the war. They will be at enormous weight of the gun and carriage in such a way that it can be moved over any good road. That difficulty is a determining factor in heavy artillery designs. Around a few of the largest cities well-ballasted roads which would support the weight of the huge guns can be found, but even such a highway as the post road from Boston to New York, it is said, has many sections so lightly built that the great weight would crush through. How Four Girls From Ohio Got Coveted Tickets How Four Girls From Ohio Got Coveted Tickets OUT in Cleveland, O., there are four young women who are telling how they saw the president deliver his railroad strike message to the joint session of congress. The day the senate and house met together there was the usual lege and receive it. This might be true if the galleries held 10,000 people instead of 900. The four young women from Cleveland, luckier than most visitors, received one ticket, to be parceled among the quartet. They were seated in the restaurant of the house of representatives at lunch planning to draw lots to see which one should take the prized ticket, and just as they had settled this point one of them shrieked aloud and jumped from her chair with a brand-new silk dress soaking with coffee. At the same moment, Theodore Tiller, president of the National Press and veteran of the press gallery of the house, arose with confusion covering him from head to foot. He felt, he said, as if he was about to be hanged. Apologies dripped from him, and he resembled the last rose of summer and other sad spectacles. There was no question about the dress being spoiled. Tiller had upset a large cup of coffee, and every bit of it had fallen into the young woman's lap. "Because if you are," continued the coffee-stained one, "if you would get us a ticket to the gallery today I would forgive you." She said that Representative Gordon of Ohio had promised to get one for her, but that he had not shown up. "Tickets are hard to get" said Tiller. "but I will see what I can do." "Tickets are hard to get, said Tiller, but I will see what I can do." He then left the restaurant. In ten minutes Mr. Tiller appeared again with three gallery tickets. Where he got them no one knows, but the lady with the coffee in her lap is understood to have said, just before leaving the capitol: "Oh, Mr. Tiller, if you get us tickets every time the president speaks, you can pour coffee on me all you want."

The veteran brought with him to the navy department his record, as published by the United States Army and Navy Historical association, and which showed he had been active in the Union side all during the war after he escaped from the Confederate navy, into which he had been conscripted for three months. "I've never asked the government for anything before," the veteran said when he came to the navy department. "And now I only want some little job that will enable me to keep soul and body together." The veteran left the navy department disappointed, but not yet ready to give up his quest for a job. Capitol Employee Posed for Pediment Statuary JOHN A.

This fact became known when a letter of the of the country's prosperity. Mr. Martin, who became acquainted with Paul Bartlett some time ago, was asked by the sculptor to pose for this part of the group. Later Elliott Woods, superintendent of the capitol, wrote the following letter to Martin: "I am requested to extend the thanks of Paul Bartlett, sculptor, for your kindness in posing for some portions of the modeling for the statuary to be installed in the pediment of the house wing of the capitol. It is a compliment to you that a great artist like Mr. Bartlett should so approve of your physical development as to want you to pose for one of these figures.

OCTOBER 14. 1916 ITALY'S TOURIST TRADE GONE Nation Is Called Upon to Provide for Loss of Receipts From Hotel Patrons. The tourist trade as a source of national income and as a substitute for taxation is of enormous value to Italy, says the Nuova Antologia, Rome. Indeed, as a means of settling international obligations, it is almost indispensable for our land. Hence, nothing could be more unreasonable than to let the hotel business become demoralized, as upon it will rest the task of reviving the tourist trade. This led us to propose a year ago that payment of the rental charge of hotels should be postponed, a proposal that was only adopted in part, payment for half of these rentals being adjourned until the end of the war, interest at the rate of 5 per cent a year to be charged in the meanwhile. Now, however, in view of the prolongation of the war, it becomes necessary to make similar provisions for the remaining half of the rent. If we are unwilling to allow the manager of a hotel to pay his entire rent in promissory notes or other instruments of credit, a special fund should be established, if necessary, with state aid to finance that half of the rent hotel keepers are now required to pay while the war lasts.

All the men left the meeting determined to live stronger over-coming lives. The Gospel team will be invited to be present again, shortly. Rev. Roy B. Guild, D.D., one of the leading ministers of the east recently made the significant statement that "Exercise of body is as holy a task as prayers." The brisk enrollment of the men in the gymnasium classes this year shows that the Kansas City men are recognizing the real value of systematic scientific exercise that allows no organ or portion of the body to atrophy and thus incapacitate or at least lower their efficiency. New additions to the physical work in the regular classes are: Rev. J. C. Van Loo, Mr. W. G. Mosely and Mr. H. W. Becks. All classes exceed those of last year at this time. The schedule now consists of four divisions for men and three for boys. During the past year more than 15,000 men (white) were enrolled in Bible classes in Greater Kansas City. Nearly 200,000 men and boys were enrolled in the Association Bible classes in the United States. This is only a fraction of those in cottage, store, factory and other classes. There is a world wide revival of Bible study by the most thoughtful. Mission stations are not able to supply the demands of the foreign fields for Bibles and sacred literature. The bravest and most capable men of the land are the most studious Bible students. The following men are offering their services to teach and direct Bible classes in the Y. M. C. A.

ACCOUNTING FOR OLD MAIDS Various Reasons Why Girls of Home burg Are Living Lives of Single Blessedness. They say there are one hundred thousand old maids in Massachusetts. I'll bet that's just about the number of Massachusetts young men who have gone West or somewhere, and haven't remembered the things they said at parting as well as the girls did. We've got plenty of girls in Homeburg who are getting intimately acquainted with the thirties—fine girls, still pretty, bright and keeping up with the world. Young men come into town and do their best to get on a "thou-beside-me" footing, but somehow the girls don't seem to marry. At the root of almost every case there's an old Homeburg boy. Maybe he's making good somewhere, and they're both waiting until he does. Maybe he isn't making good and is too proud to ask her to wait. Maybe she's waiting alone—because some other girl was handler in the new place. And maybe it wasn't a case of wait at all, only the boy who went away looked better to some Homeburg girl than any of those who stayed at home. There's Carrie Moore. She's our prize maid and dresses like a mail sack full of government seeds, but they say she was the prettiest girl in Homeburg when young Cyrus McCord went to Chicago to carve out his future so that he could come home and marry her. But Cyrus didn't carve out his future. He married it instead, and Carrie is almost sixty now, living alone and getting peculiar, like so many of our lonely old folks do. George Fitch in the American Magazine. HIS UNLUCKY "DAYS OFF" Fireman Breaks Ankle, Leg, Foot, Arm, and Head in Five of His Rest Periods. His left ankle broken when caught with several other firemen under a falling wall at the big fire in Collingswood, Capt. George Wade recalled at the Homeopathic hospital, Camden, that all five serious mishaps he has sustained while in the Camden fire department were met in responding to calls on his day off, says the Philadelphia Record. Such was the case the last time. He just dropped in at fire headquarters to see how things were going when the call for aid came from Collingswood. Of course, he could not resist the temptation to lead his company. On another of his days off in 1907 he was thrown from the engine and suffered a compound fracture of the left leg. At another time, in a like accident, also on his day off, his right foot was crushed. At still another time, Captain Wade suffered a fracture of his left arm by a fall at a fire at Eleventh and Cooper streets, Fighting a fire at the Graves varnish plant on another day when he just happened around, he sustained a concussion of the brain when struck by a falling cornice. "Still it's all in the game," said the captain, forcing a smile. Swatting the Fly in Korea. The Japanese administration of Korea has adopted a queer but very effective method of stamping out disease due to the common fly, says the London Globe. The Anglo-Saxon slogan of "Kill that fly" would probably not stimulate the imagination of a people which regards disease as inevitable, so the administration has hit on the idea of buying flies from the populace, and an illustration in the latest annual report on reforms and progress in Korea bears the enticing headline, "Purchasing flies from natives by government officials." The report is, however, tantalizingly reticent on a matter of such human interest as the price per pound or by the thousand, and the nature of the local "swaters." Goldsmith at Edinburgh The roll of honor in the book, "Famous Edinburgh Students," includes the name of Oliver Goldsmith—which may surprise many people, the fact that he had at any time any association with Scotland being little known, says the London Chronicle. It took several universities to complete the education of Oliver Goldsmith and Edinburgh was one of them. After he graduated at Dublin he spent three years in verse writing, flute playing and in more or less perfunctorily studying law at London and medicine at Leyden and the Scottish capital. He was in Edinburgh somewhat too soon to have met either Burns or Robert Fergusson, both of whom would have been men after his own heart. Each could have piloted him to distinguished and disreputable boozing kens. Plans Art Education Isadore Duncan has announced her intention to supply "an art education" to 1,000 children made orphans by the war. She hopes, after the war is ended, to take her present pupils and many others to an island which she has purchased off the coast of Greece. There she expects eventually to teach 1,000 children, 200 each from Germany, France, Belgium, England and Russia, as well as American children who may wish to be included, but for whose support it will be necessary to have subscriptions. Unquestionably. "Which would you rather be, a chauffeur or an aviator?" "Well, the latter is the higher position." "There's a man who never finds fault." "Yes," replied Miss Cayenne; "but is it because he is patient and for bearing, or because he is too indolent to notice what is going on?" Hla Merits. "We object to the young man who is courting our daughter because he is a shoemaker." "Why, a shoemaker is the best sort of a man, because he is usually whole soled and well heeled."

THE HOPKINS STORE The story of my growth in retail-merchandising is not one of those romantic stories such as the finding of rich mineral and oil fields and the enriching of poor men over night, for I have been serving the public long years right in this one spot. The story begins when I first realized that the proper location of a successful business among my people is that place where most of the home-owning, steady and reliable people live.

Those now pounding the pave have made oodles of the long green stuff in the boxing game, but they have failed to hold on to it. Many of them are living on their reputations, living on the bounty of friends. Disconsolate "Young Corbett," who won the lightweight championship from Terry McGovern, stands in front of a Times Square cafe each day. Fate has made him quit the fighting game, and now he is doing nothing. "The Kid" never smiles, and from his defection there is an indication that tragedy is lurking closely. No saving, no understanding of the uncertainty of the game came to him. On the other hand, there is Kid McCoy. He is prosperous looking, and still has "his." Today he is a "new thoughter" and has the old philosophers for a hobby—New York correspondence Pittsburgh Dispatch. Criminal to Kill a Bat It is criminal to kill a bat, according to a letter directed to the public by the state fish and game commission, which is strongly in favor of protecting the displeasing creature of the air because of its fight against destructive insect pests. California has 28 different species of bats, against 541 of birds. The commission points out that in many parts of this state and in Texas laws are in force to protect bats because of their use in checking the undue increase in injurious insects. They hunt by sound, and spend the night about the bright lights capturing bugs.-Sacramento (Cal.) Bee.

The mills are reporter to have made a big profit in the sale of shirtingts and drills. From May, 1915, the diminution in stocks in Shanghai created a demand for Japanese goods, which increased steadily during the year. The mills, however, adopting the view that prices would go higher, showed no anxiety to push sales. This attitude appears to have been justified by results. It is reported that at the beginning of 1916 the mills were in the comfortable position of having sold their output for six months ahead, and there is a general impression that the position thus gained in the cotton piece goods markets of China and India is one which will be held. Cat's Daily Lunch a Snake. Evidently considering a day incomplete unless it includes a lunch on snake meat, a cat belonging to Charles Shultz has set a record for snake catching. The Shultz residence, which is near the Indian school grounds, has been a center for snakes recently. About a week ago the cat brought in a two-foot copperhead in his mouth, and after it had been killed by a member of the family lunched off the choice portions. Three snakes were caught on subsequent days by the animal, and the other day he worked overtime, securing two.-Carlisle (Pa.) dispatch to Philadelphia Record. be for SUN TAILORING
