Just as centuries ago men, not a few, looked for the end of earthly things, so now some talk of the end of the world. What is justification? Is it the high cost of living or the success of many Democratic candidates at the recent election? Is it the grim determination of the belligerent nations? We think not. Frankly, we don't see any justification. With not more than 1-3 of the world believing in any fashion in the Divinity of Christ with "man's inhumanity to man" looming large we are fain to believe the end is still remote unless, indeed we should see a sudden, universal quickening of the spiritual faculties of men and a realization of the need of Christian unity and brotherhood. The natural signs are not, as yet, sufficiently alarming. It is an open question. Some brilliant and gifted men say the world has nearly reached its allotted span; others, of not smaller mental endowments declare the world is still very young. No man knows. Either way it is not for us to scoff at the world as the elegant refinement and delicacy of speech belonged to the artificiality of manners of the more fortunate races; as though the simplicity and integrity of conduct and honesty of intention and domestic virtue had vanished. Just as the things that we esteem best survive and take to themselves added nourishment, so do they give ampler opportunities and larger compensations than ever before to those who have overcome. If the world buffets us let us not be utterly cast down. And perhaps we can luckily laugh at it, and turn its sorry jokes upon it as happily as Abou Hassan made reprisal when he was the victim of the Caliph's jest. For Abou sent his wife to the Sultan to tell her with much lamentation that Abou was dead. The Sultan comforted her and gave her a sum of money to defray the funeral expenses. Then Abou went to the Sultan and told him his wife was dead and was treated with like generosity. When the Caliph met his Sultana he told her Abou had passed away but she said he was mistaken it was Abou's wife who had joined the prophet. Then the Sultan sent his servant to verify Abou's report but that worthy seeing his coming feigned death and was so reported. The Sultana also sent her servant but Abou was watchful and this time it was his wife who counterfeited death. Utterly mystified the Caliph and his Sultana decided to go in person but when they reached the house found Abou and his wife both apparently dead. And the Caliph, utterly distracted exclaimed: "I would give a thousand pieces of gold to know which died first," whereupon Abou exclaimed "It was, I my Lord and exclaimed the reward amid much merriment. "Every day is a new beginning. Every day is the world made new Ye who are weary of sorrow and sinning. Here is a beautiful thought for you. A thought for me and a thought for you." Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Tate of Tulsa, Okla., visited in the city last week. PETER H. The Kansas City Sun A BLACK HERO IT WAS ALL IN POLLARD'S SPEED HARVARD COULDN'T STOP NEGRO STAR AND LOST TO BROWN, 0 TO 21. Three Long Runs by Fleet, Footed Back Enabler Providence Eleven to Down the Crimson—Harvard Strated With Subs. Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 18.—Led by a dusky meteor named Pollard, Brown's powerful football team overwhelmed the Harvard substitutes this afternoon, 21 to 0. In every period of the game the Brown attack, bullet around the brilliant Negro halfback, crushed and plowed its way through the weak Crimson line. It was a shallow victory, in that Harvard not only started her substitutes, but many times delayed the game with constant changes. But Brown is happy tonight in the knowledge that even with her regulars, Harvard found it hard to stop the brilliant Providence eleven. Pollard was the star of the game. Time and again he slid off tackle or circled the Crimson ends for long gains. In the first period it was his brilliant run back of a Harvard punt and his 36-yard run from the Harvard 40-yard line which gave Brown her first chance to score. It was Pollard who brought the Brown men to their feet in the third period when he went through center and then dodged and staggered his way through the entire Harvard team for a touchdown, after a run of forty-five yards. In this period Harvard was penalized for roughing Pollard. The Crimson showed a flash of strength at the opening of the final period, but after Pollard had intercepted a Harvard pass and then caught a Brown forward pass and ran the length of the field. Purdy plunged over for the third touchdown. EBENEZER A. M. E. CHURCH.

ALL A BOUNDFOR THE ALL ABOARD BOUNDFOR THE PROMISED LAND BY MR. WARD. B. MR. WAR From Florida he brings I go, I'llbid the South good-bye; No longer shall they treat me so, And knock me in the eye. The day I saw you I'm bound, My cross is more than double— If the Chief Executive can be found, I'll tell him all my trouble. Thousands of boys have gone before, And enjoying their Northern lives, There's nothing at all they can't deplore, So they wrote their wives. Thousands of others are clamoring to go, To the Crackets failed to take one more, But the Recruits made them stop. Arise ye Darkies, now a slave, Your chance, today, has come; Hold up your head with courage brave, Cause times are changing some. Goin' to the world, we need, And faithu! to his dating. Humble prayers is what he heard, After years of anxious waiting. All before this change was made They took me for a tool. No respect to me was paid, They classed me as a fool. For centuries past I was knocked and And imposed by Southern "Whites;" For fifty long years they've had me bluffed And robbed me of my "Rights." Thousands of us are taken North, From Georgia; and below. The chance affords the greatest draught That have ever faced. For O! praise the Lord, each house and steeple. Let me have a glorious dance; What a blessing to our people If they'd take a solemn chance. The South declared, in bloody figures, The North in neighbor. They class me a trashy "migger", Just fit for common labor. Everybody's welcome in the Southern gates. The Jew, the Greek, the Turk, But if I enter within their gates, I must ask some boss for work. Anybody that does the work I do, They're paid four dollars per day, But I must lile, and steal some, too. Just lift me off with a trashy mess, And cheat me in the deal. They force me hard to work for less, And 'rest me when I steal. If a thousand whites work at a place, Every one there's my boss. They pay me off my race, my race, And drive me like a horse. I am a Negro, and I know it; Just the peas as I see. A loyal citizen and I'd show it, If they would treat me right. LOOK AT OUR WINDOW! "That's All."

BOARD PROMISED LAND If me and a cracker should have a fight, And he knocks me in the jaw, It's counted to him as being "right" It's counting to a cracker, "haw" But if I swing on a "Cracker's" jaw With all my feeble might, Right from that will start a war, And I'll have the State to fight. All they've sown against the "nigger," They're soap as sure as you're born. Their time is out, they can't grow bigger! They've dragged my race to scorn. Yes, we will rise up, oye and bye. My people are really great on earth, There's none no. I never found; The Son a ship from his birth, The Son a keeper him. He's not allowed as other men To speak up for his rights, Do-he's shut up in a pen, And tortured by the white. We have many noble men, But the South has held them back. The South was never my people's friend. Upon the river a bank, Yankee land! My future home, O. how I long for thee; Upon thy bosom let me roam And feel that I am free. We are God's own chosen people, And in h-1 their foes shall hop. Their children daily to the place Where they will be on top. All men look alike to God. No matter how large they've grown; All those subjects to his rod, and all those sown, sown, I would rather the cold to snatch my breath, and from a narrow source. And die from a natural cause, Than to down South and get beat death. Under cruel "Cracker" laws, They tried one time to exert their "WILL." These defined old gopher diggers. They tried the government to pass a "BILL." And rid the South of "niggers." HASTEN ON, MY DARK BROTHER, JUST SAY "LAW" NO "CRACKEIS" NORTH TO SLAP YOUR MOTHER. OR KNOCK YOU ON THE JAW.

Notes Enthusiastic Workers' Meeting Adopted the Above Slogan. NOVEMBER 22D—DECEMBER 4TH Date of Special Reduced Y. M. C. A. Membership Fee. "Beat Indianapolis, get 700 new members," was the slogan of the campaigners after Captain Edwards of the Blues made his address to the workers in which he uttered this inspiring hope on Thursday evening, November 21, on the eve of the anniversary campaign. Although an unheard of number of members to get in one effort by a Colored association, the enthusiasm of the forty workers present who braved the chilly rain made it seem entirely possible as the forces of the Reds and the Blues sat facing each other under the spell of the enthusiastic, encouraging words of the speakers. Captain Austin Young's recital of the conditions under which he accepted the captaincy and the stirring of his men to meet the challenge of the Blues has never been equalled before in the history of the opening meeting of a campaign. At the close of his address every man present was ready to talk and work. Prof. Shelton French of Western University, in true college style, told how the Reds intended to give the Blues the real "blues." W. H. (Bill) Houston, always a dangerous opponent in a contest, the captain of the winning team in the first membership campaign held after entering the building, was loudly applauded when he said, "the secretary should be instructed to write Indianapolis immediately that Kansas City was going to take its rightful place of leadership in membership for the country." He then showed how many members each worker should get to bring about the desired results, pledging his share. Dr. E. J. Perry, Prof. J. R. E. Lee, Rev. J. C. VanLoo, Messrs. Lee Rho, H. O. Cook, P. C. James, W. G. Moseley and L. C. Stewart in two minute talks stirred the flames of enthusiasm to fever pitch. G. A. Page, First Lieutenant of the Reds, in an impassioned talk pledged to get at least twenty new members. James H. Crews, First Lieutenant of the Blues, was immediately on his feet with a pledge of twenty-one or more for his Captain. A smile of complete confidence lighted up Captain Edwards' face throughout the evening. Captain Young seemed to be somewhat worried as to the outcome, even with the assurance from his members of loyalty and support. Over all the evening's proceedings was a strong spiritual atmosphere. The memorable race is now on. The new members to the team this week are: REDS: BLUES: W. A. Williams Rev. F. D. Wells Jas. A. Anderson Wm. Washington Sandy Draper A. W. Johnson J. H. Knox T. B.

BIG SUNDAY DINNER Cafeteria Motto: "Only the Best." DIE FROM POLICE BULLETS. Woman and a Boy Were Shot for Trivial Causes. Ora Hill, a Negro woman, 27 years old, 2633 Euclid avenue, was loitering with some other Negroes in an alley off Sixth street early Saturday morning. When accosted by Frank M. Hoover, patrolman, she ran with the crowd and was shot in the back. She died Sunday morning. Reuben Woods, 20 years old, a Negro who lived with his mother at 1726 Vine street until sentenced to serve with the county chain gang, on a petty charge, was shot in the stomach Friday by a guard whose name has not been divulged. He died-Sunday night. Woods and the guard are said to have quarreled over the sort of sledge hammer the boy should use. Woods said the guard cursed him and said he would "make him use it," deliberately firing at him to enforce his threat. COP KILLED FLEEING NEGRO. With Two Bullets in His Body Fugi tive Kept Running. Harrison Thomas, a Negro, was shot and killed late yesterday afternoon in front of James Street police station, Kansas side, when he tried to escape from Sergeant James Dooley. Thomas had been arrested for cutting a Negro woman about a month ago. At the station the Negro whirled Sergeant Dooley around and broke from his grasp. Four blows from Dooley's club failed to halt him. Then Dooley fired. A bullet in his wrist only increased the Negro's speed, Dooley fired again. The bullet lodged in Thomas' thigh, but failed to halt him. Then the police sergeant aimed at the fleeing prisoner's head and fired. The bullet broke Thomas neck.

Judge L仕獠 Sentences Him to Two and One-Half Years in Prison and Edmund Aspinwall, His Accom- plice, to Two Years. Lawrence Quinn, a policeman, was sentenced to two and one-half years in the penitentiary by Judge L仕獨 yesterday afternoon for aiding Edmund Aspinwall, 19 years old, a yard clerk for the Missouri Pacific, in a box car robbery at First street and Grand avenue, Saturday night. Quinn was on duty during the robbery and wore his uniform. Aspinwall was given two years. Aspinwall lives at 3705 Garfield avenue. He met Quinn at the saloon of George Quinn, the patrolman's brother, at Fourth and Grand. The two discussed the robbery, and Quinn took his brother's motor car to the foot of the Grand Avenue hill. Hid Goods Near Quinn's Home. Two box cars were opened. Two sacks of potatoes valued at $6 were taken from one, and three boxes of Oranges, costing $15, from the other. The goods were hidden in a shed at Garland and Rochester avenues, near Quinn's home at 2405 Rochester. Aspinwall was arrested Sunday morning and made a statement implicating Quinn. Quinn took the railroad officers to the shed where the food was stored and the railroad recovered it. Aspinwall and Quinn were taken before the prosecutor attorney yesterday afternoon. Aspinwall pleaded guilty to the charge of burglary and grand larceny. Quinn's pleas swayed back and forth, however. He had signed a statement, detailing his part in the robbery, and he said he would "plead guilty to what he had signed," and would "plead guilty to having the railroad yards at First and Grand on his beat." Finally he admitted the robbery. Used Club on Two Kansans. When Fred Mathiot and his brother, farmers of Peabody, Kan., were in Kansas City recently, Quinn beat them with his club in a fight in a rooming house at 563 Walnut street. Quinn would have been cited for brutality, but the Mathiots returned to Peabody. A recent dispatch from there said Fred Mathiot's life was in danger as a result of the beating. At the time of the escape of James Sammon, a notorious pickpocket, from the "holdover" at police headquarters last spring, Quinn was acting jailer and was accused of letting Sammon out. Quinn has been on the police force fourteen months. A. E. JAMES H. CREWS, 1st Lieutenant Blues, Pledges 21 New Members in Campaign.

At once Norman Hud- son penetrated the situation He stooped and removed the tin can and Patted the trembling refugee on the head. “That will do, my Inds," he an- nounced quietly, but firmly, as a mob ‘ef a dozen boys came into view. ‘They scattered and faded away with: out defiance. ‘The young man resumed his seat on the doorstep. ‘The dog ad- hered closely to him. “You poor fellow! In need of a frend, eh?” soothed Norman Hudson, patting the shaggy head of his new acquaintance, who looked with deer gratitude up Into his eyes. ‘There was human pity expressed 4n the tone of the speaker. there was pathos in his gentle caresses. Hud. son smiled, but sadly, It was a har¢ world, and both he and the dog real 4zed it. Within the great, brave soul ‘of the man, however, was courage anc hope {idomitable. For nll that affair were at thelr lowest ebb, and he wa: oth penniless and hungry. The dog lay down at his feet, as though worn out and content to repos — Nie: a Woe (a Y 2¢ under such supreme guardianship, It was when Norman arose to continue ‘his way that the animal acted strange- ly and disturbed. He followed Hud- son; he whined. He would come to halt, look up pleadingly and half turn, as If eager to guide Hudson in a di- rection contrary to that in which he was headed. “Go home, old fellow!” ordered Hud- son, accompanying the words with a peremptory wave of the hand. He would fain have kept this affectionate acquaintance with him, but he recog- nized grewsomely that Just at present he was not able to keep himself, To ‘his surprise, the dog refused to budge, and as Hudson turned his back and moved on, trotted to his side, uttered quite a growl and, selzing Hudson by the coat, regarded him challengingly. |) “Now, how shall I interpret this?" mused Hudson, “The animal wishes me to go with him, Why? Where?" | To the strange persistency of the collie Hudson gave attention now, The animal released his hold of the coat the moment Hudson changed his course. Now, quite animated and wag- ging his tail in a satisfied way, the dog trotted ahead of Hudson. “Our canine friend seems to have some use for ine, I see, and I'll follow the ‘adventure to the end,” decided Hudson. It pleased his fancy and it made Hudson forget his hunger, for he was hungry. He was neither discouraged nor hopeless. His was too bright a spirit for that. He had come from a country town, an orphan, with only a brief experience as a clerk in a local general store, and had for two months found a position in a city business place, The firm had failed. Since then, with empty pockets, the dally program, had been a quest for new em- ployment, ‘Bad as the situation was, Hudson had inherited from it a most pleasing memory.

Does mine lead beyond that door?” Hudson ques- tioned himself, - The animal grew impatient, lifted a ‘paw and noiselessly tapped at the closed door, Hudson Jeaned forward and listened intently, “Help !" The utterance was wenk, but freighted with agony. Hudson pushed open the door. Upon a coueh in a cor- ner of the room lay a helpless, cadav- erous old man. His eyes lighted up with reltef and engerness at the ap- pearance of Hudson, “Water, food, heat!” he uttered weakly, “Three days unable to move! And the terrible fever! 1 could not move even to get to the window to call for aid.” Incoherently the old man babbled forth the situation. Living alone had brought the penalty of an almost fatal isolation, Hudson explained his in- cidental appearance on the scene. The old man feebly patted the head of his loyal animal friend, “Water, food, heat!" ~The old man son was soon busy about the little kitchen. Within two hours he had Gabriel Rushton comfortable. With- in two more he had the confidence of the recluse, whom he had reached just in time, “I was robbed, deserted by the false- hearted nephew who Induced me to send away the child of an old friend whom I had adopted,” narrated Rush- ton. “He led me to believe she was not loyal, and hoped for my death to inherit what I have. Alas! I trusted the wretch. A week ago he disap- peared with some money I kept in the vhouse. He left me ill and helpless. 1 now know that he grossly deceived me as to the girl whom I so cruelly turned adrift—poor, dear Hazel Ross!” “Hazel Ross!" repeated Hudson tn Profound amazement, and well he might, and then he told of his recent acquaintance with his fellow office- worker, In feverish eagerness Rushton tm- | plored Hudson to find her, to bring her | to his side.

Fully 20 years ago this foree began breaking through the easte system in isolated cases, the process being stimulated by the late Booker ‘T. Washington some fifteen years ago. The policy has been twofold, encouraging the In- dividual pioneers by organization and educating the race out of the tradi- ‘tion that only the white man was qual- ‘ified to engage In trade. | Now that the labor shortage has forced the large employers of the country to look tore to the South for unskilled and semi-skilled workers, the Negro is becoming more conscious of his importance industrially. One Indirect effect should be to make the league's campaign more fruitful than If it had been launched at a less op- portune time. And the movement seems to be actuated by the right point of view. “These campaigns are hot organized in any spirit of antax onisms to merchants of other races,’ says the announcement, “but for the sole purpose of advertising the exist ence of the Negro merchants.” “In Spite of the Handicap” Is the title which James D, Corrothers, the colored poet, gives to his autoblogra- phy. Corrothers was born in southern Michigan and he confronted the prob- Tems which are the rather heavy-in- heritance of the Negro in the North. ‘That they differ rom those of the Ne- gro in the South makes them no light- er. Ray Stannard Baker, another Michigan man—says in his preface: “The book throws much light on con- ditions with which few writers on the race question have dealt: 1 mean the problems which confront the abler and more intelligent Negroes, the leaders of thelr race, in their contact with their own people, Mr, Corrothers ree- ognizes that the color line Is only part, however important, of the great human situation which the Negro must face. And finally it is a book singu- larly without rancor—the book of a man who in spite of difficulties has maintained a cheerful and helpful out- look toward life.” Mr. Corrothers certainly Is entitled to this tribute, writes Elia W. Peattie In the Chicago Tribune, Bitter pover- ty, race prejudice, the handicap of in- sufficient education, the Jealousy and littleness of his own people, the loss of his wife, the enmity of his bishop— for he became a clergyman—combine to make a story that would be tragic were it not for the many compensa- tions that came to him, Men and women of distinction were good to him, the best magazines printed his poetry, and life itself wore an alluring face because of his appreciation of every opportunity that offered and the essential courage that made him push ‘on. to new udventires..

It must not be defiled by being ylelded as an instra- ment to sin, for it 1s the temple of God, (T Cor, 8:16, 17). A “Living Of- fering,” (not as the bodies of slain animals offered by Jews) is a conse- eration of the body, and not a destruc- tion of life. ‘The original means that this—the offering of ourselves as a | living sacrifico—is a reasonable, ra- tional service.

The deliberate Judge Hughes is going to be dead sure before he resigns his presidential prospects as being sure dead. In his talk to colored citizens last Sunday, President of the Board of Education strongly urged a united effort against the open saloon which he very properly declared to be the source of the race's greatest handicap. --- Last Sunday every big dairy contained a highly complimentary account of the work of young Pollard, the Negro member of the Brown University football team which so decisively vanished Harvard the day before. --- A correspondent from Portland, Oregon, writes the Sun to know what has become of the multiplicity of women's clubs that used to publish their proceedings in the columns of this paper. As the Sun is not in a position to answer this question intelligently, we would be pleased to hear from the various executive officers of these organizations if they still exist. One of the woman's clubs of this city that is really doing efficient, concrete work is the Clippers' Club, composed of a body of the most cultured and progressive ladies in this city. This excellent club, without any blowing of trumpets or display of ego, gives from time to time high class entertainments that are invariably successful, their most recent affair netting them $160. These sums are dispensed in needful and helpful charity to the deserving poor of our race and makes for them a niche in the hearts of the people of this city, which is needless to say no other organization can fill. WARD A. M. E. CHURCH. Our church is enjoying a great spiritual feast. Dr. F. F. Moten is preaching each night to splendid congregations. Last Sunday was Quarterly Conference. The evangelist preached at each service and the house was crowded to its utmost capacity. Every Methodist church in the city was represented and the congregation was overshadowed with the fire and Holy Ghost. Men shouted as well as the women. At night the house was full by 8 o'clock to hear the man of God. Up to date there have been some real converts who are loud in God's praise. Several have joined the church.

That's no joke either. —That if colored folks burn coal this winter like they did gasoline last summer this will sure be one hot town. —That the Negroes have about decided they don't want any more political bosses in Kansas City, if the results of the last election is the criterion of what the bosses stand for. —That now the Negroes are started on an exodus from the South, nothing can stop them. Well, come on brethren. —That the Negro merchant or business man who will not keep his store or place of business clean need not expect to be rushed with business. Catch the idea? —That Christ was in earnest when he said "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's." Do you do it? —That a certain brother was heard to remark that he was going to have a Thanksgiving turkey if it cost his life. Well, brother, if you try to get it any other way other than the right way, you might as well get ready now to give an account for the deeds done in the body, for you are gone. That advertising pays is being very profitably exemplified by Dr. Theodore Smith, proprietor of the largest mail order drug store in the United States owned by colored people, and really the only one. He is putting into his business, located at 18th and Tracy, pluck, merit and business sagacity, and is reaping a bountiful harvest of meritorious patronage. He is not expecting any royalty on his color. You owe to your wife, mother, daughter or sweetheart a box of delicious fresh chocolate candy or a cup of hot chocolate with whipped cream at Smith's Drug Store, corner 18th and Tracy. J. B. REV. F.

IS THERE NO REDRESS Innocent and Defenseless Negroes Murdered Without Provocation— Sex No Bar to the Guns of During the past month, Kansas City has been disgraced by a number of brutal murders—murders without the slightest provocation, and too, by men who are sworn to uphold the law and protect human life. Against this tiff carnival of crime no protest is made by those in authority, justice seems to be absent upon a prolonged vacation, and the assassins of innocent men and women have gone unwhipped by the law. "He sassed me," "I told him to halt and he ran from me," "He looked like a suspicious character." "He had a bad reputation" "He refused to answer question that I put to him." These are reasons given by police officers for the killing of Negroes in Kansas City, and strange to say, no other reason has ever been required. We stand unreservedly in favor of the strict enforcement of the law and for the punishment of all violators thereof, be they black or white, but against the murder of innocent men and women, we sound a note of alarm and enter, in the name of the respect REV. F. F. MOTEN Who preached the sermon last Sunday afternoon at Ward A. M. E. church, Woodland avenue, will be there Sunday at 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m., and at St. John's A. M. E. church at 3 p. m. The vast congregation left the church filled with joy, and many returned at night. Rev. Moten was born and reared in the country, on his father's farm. His father yet lives and is proud of his son. Rev. Moten's family is a large one. Prof. Lee of Lincoln High school said Sunday night all the Motens had big heads and were known as those young men who looked up. Prof. J. S. Moten who was principal at Selma, Ala. able, law-abiding Negroes of this city, A VIGOROUS PROTEST and DE- MAND the punishment of these MUR- DERERS who are still wearing "uniforms" and walking the streets at LIBERTY. No city in America has, in proportion to its white and Negro citizens, a greater number of industrial, law-abiding, intelligent, Negro citizens than Kansas City, and this fact should be a protection to them, especially should it shield them from those "pastimes" in which the "respectable" white citizens of MIS SISSIPPI are ever wont to engage. It is high time that the leading Negroes of this city formed a protective league, the object of which would be to look after the interest of the race along all lines. We are going to look to the leaders of the race to see that a stop is put to the brutal killing of innocent Negroes no matter what their station may be in life—even the poorest and most degraded of human beings have a right to the protection of the law. We are waiting to hear from men like Doctors Bacote, Hurst, Booker, Williams, Thomas, Davis, Ewing, Lawyers Knox, Hueston, Calloway, Wassom; Doctors Unthank Thompkins, Perry, Dibble, Shannon, Lambright, Smith, Brookings, Brown, Williams; Professors—Lee, Cook Crosthwait, Dawley, Coles, Wilson Williams; Hereford, Talton, Griffin; business men like Watkins Bros., A.

SILAS HARRIS ST. STEPHEN'S BAPTIST CHURCH The services last Sunday were all largely attended. At 11 a.m. the pastor preached on "Forgiveness."

The walls of Lineoln High School were all but burst asunder by the immense appreciative audience which greeted our Board of Education last Sunday afternoon, November 19. In spite of the fact that almost two-thirds of the listeners were compelled to stand, an intense silence pervaded the room throughout the program, punctuated now and then by tremendous applause as the various speakers made telling points that appealed to their hearers. The principal speaker of the occasion was Hon. Hale H. Cook, president of the Board, who was fittingly introduced by Mr. Nelson C. Crews, editor of the Kansas City Sun, who reviewed briefly his splendid service during the eleven years he had been upon the Board and pronounced him a fitting successor to the Hon. Gardner Lathrop, whom he succeeded eleven years ago. President Cook emphasized the fact that as a race we should leave off requiring the stimulus of outside help, that each of us should make a name worth while and stand for something, and that we should instill more and more into ourselves and our children the saving habit. Messrs. Pinkerton and Knotts, as well as Superintendent Cammack and eight years at Payne College and eight years professor of mathematics in Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., and Dr. P. M. Moten, one of the leading physicians of Birmingham, Ala.; C. J. Moten, teacher in Texas, mare all brothers of the evangelist. And Bishop Parks said last Thursday on night Missouri will be bblessed this year by having Elder Moten as her evangelist. "He is a native born rever. vivalist and a prepared preacher is, why I appointed him. I predict great things for him." Dr. Moten will make big Kansas City his headquarters for the big present. He can be found at 1121 n. Woodland avenue; Bell phone, East a., 3796W. Mr. J. W. Jenkins, made short, encouraging remarks. Each one of these wished to be recognized as a true friend of the Negro and assured us that having seen so plainly the necessity of an annex, each would do his best toward helping obtain it at the earliest opportunity. Interspersed between the talks were musical numbers by the school orchestra, the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs and the school chorus, under the direction of Major N. Clark Smith. Miss Vera Patton, who sang "The Colored Prima Donna," a composition by Major Smith, acquitted herself admirably. At the conclusion of the addresses, Editor Crews moved that a vote of thanks be extended to the distinguished visitors and prefaced his motion with a witty and stirring address that evoked tremendous applause. The motion was adopted by a standing vote after which the chorus rendered in magnificent style a medley of patriotic airs. Mrs. F. G. Gleed, president of the Parent-Teachers' Association, urged a large attendance at the meetings of this organization and all left feeling that one of the most enjoyable afternoons the citizens of Kansas City had experienced for many years had been spent. The invocation was by Rev. F. D. Wells of Bethel A. M. E. Church, and the benediction by Father VanLoo of the St. Augustine's P. E. Church. It is hoped that as large an attendance will be present at the next community meeting, December 17, to meet the bankers of our city. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH. Last Sunday was an ideal day for Church going. The services were well attended all day. At 11:00 o'clock the pastor preached a great sermon. "Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden." On next Sunday at 6 p. m. Dr. Bacote will take his vested choir and the congregation down to assist Rev. Williams of Ebenezer Church, 16th and Lydia, in a rally. Our entire congregation and friends are asked to join with us and make this a great service for the Lord....The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. are holding interesting sessions.

Many visitors were in the audience. Prop. Jackson gave extracts from the numbers rendered by him before the State Teachers' Association at Topeka which elicited much favorable comment. Remember the Big Rally the first Sunday in December. POALA. KANSAS. Rev. H. Franklin Bray, the noted evangelist of Denver, Col., is here conducting Union revival meetings for the Baptists and Methodists at the A. M. E. Church. Rev. Bray is one of our ablest preachers and he is giving his life to the salvation of souls. He is a forceful and earnest speaker and he talks to a good audience each night, and he is meeting with much success, as he drives the truth home to the souls of men and women. Paola is witnessing a spiritual atmosphere it has not known for many a day. Rev. Bray is ably assisted by his wife and coworkers, Mrs. Sara L. Hammett and Mr. Thomas Johnson. Mrs. Bray is devoting her time and labor to the young children. She is making them a life study and the children are justly proud that they are under her care. Mrs. Hammett and Mr. Johnson are talented singers of the first magnitude and they are assisting Rev. Bray by making Heaven ring with their sweet songs of Zion. Since their coming into our community they have organized a young people's choir, which under their skillful direction is contributing much to the success of the meetings. The good work this evangelist party is doing will ever be remembered, and may God speed them on. Services will be conducted at the Opera House all day Sunday.

The governor was not playing the game as it should be played. That much was common talk at the capitol. It was all very well for him to take up an attitude of opposition to Boss Lloyd, but why had he run for governor under Lloyd's auspices? He must have known Lloyd was not giving away something for nothing. There were some who justified the governor in claiming that a man cannot get into political life at all unloss he is willing to accept some shady backing. But Governor Peters had swung round the minute he took the oath of office, announced that he meant to be the "People's Governor," and fought Lloyd tooth and nail, and fought him to a standstill. Peters had been Boss Lloyd's lawyer in the old days. He knew the secret tragedy of his life. Peters' wife had left him a few years after their marriage, taking with her their only child, a boy. Lloyd, with all his influence, had never heard of her again, had never set eyes on her since that day. Peters had still been trying to discover her when Lloyd nominated him for office. Peters had been a very quiet man. Few knew him; it was not till the papers were full of the life story of the new governor that it was known he was a married men, with a son at the State university, Lloyd, in particular, had not known. When he knew he set to work to get Peters in leading strings. And he had him. He exulted as he walked up the hill toward the executive offices. He did not wince when Governor Peters kept him waiting half an hour while he chatted with an old negro nurse, though other men would not have kept him waiting at all, and would have broken off any other interview immediately. At last Lloyd was admitted into the governor's office. He sat down, trump-up upon his face. Peters looked at him intently, "Well, sir?" he asked. "It ain't often I come here now, Mr. Peters." Lloyd began. "Often enough for my requirements," answered the governor. "Your requirements? Good Lord!" said "boss, breathing hard. "Alin" WALTERS "He's Yours, Lloyd." I made you, Mr. Peters? Do you suppose you'll stand anywhere when your term is through? I could have sent you to the White House. "What is the purpose of your visit?" demanded Governor Peters. "I'm coming to that," answered Lloyd. "But I want to ask you, Governor, do you think you have treated me right since you've been in office?" "I think so. Don't you?" asked Peters. "No, sir!" Lloyd's fist thumped down on the desk. "When you ran on my ticket it was tacitly understood that you would support my policies." "Which are to make as much as you can for yourself and your followers in the shape of contracts." "You knew it when you ran." "A wise man does not commit himself in the way you are trying to make me," answered the governor. "As your lawyer, Lloyd. I have done my best for you. As the people's lawyer—for that is what my job amounts to—I do my best for them. Now what have you come to speak to me about?" "About the Hood bill," answered Lloyd. "The people don't care a rap about it. I'll go further. They're against it. They want the municipal forces in all the departments manned and staffed as they used to be. You say it wasn't fair? But it was fair. There wasn't a decent young fellow that couldn't get a job in the police or fire departments if he wanted one. Now you're going to make it a matter of competition. Competition in what? Brawn? Judgment? Courage? No in book-learning. A man can be a fine scholar and not have sense enough to keep out of the rain, let alone be a policeman. That bill goes unsigned." Boss Lloyd leaned forward and spoke earnestly. "I know what you're going to say, that it ain't my business. But it is. I've got a hold on you, and if you sign that bill your son at the university goes to jail—yes, to jail, sir." The governor started and looked keenly at the other. "What has he done?" he asked. "You know what he's done. You know that woman up at the university that got a heap of students into trouble last year. You know he put His name to a bit of worthless paper, to buy her jewelry. You had the matter hushed up, but it's known. And there are the witnesses who'll swear to it. I tell you, governor, you can choose right now between signing that bill and saving your son." Governor Peters drummed his hands on the desk, "Is that all?" he asked quietly, when Lloyd had finished. "Well, ain't it enough?" "You confess to having trapped him? You have been spying on the boy, luring him on to ruin me? That woman, Sadie Du Pas, is one of your people. Everybody knows who she is and what she has been. Everyone knows she was paid by you. How will that look?" "Look?" snorted Lloyd. "Why, I suppose people would say, 'that's a smart trick Boss Lloyd pulled off on the governor.' But they won't get a chance to say it, because you'll turn down that bill." Very deliberately Governor Peters stretched out his hand and took a document from his desk. With steady fingers he wrote his name at the bottom. "There's your answer, Mr. Lloyd," he said. Lloyd sprang to his feet, his face white. "You—you've done it," he stammered. "All right. You'll see what mercy that kid will get. That's your last word, is it? "No," answered Peters. He rang a bell, and his secretary, a spectacled young fellow with sandy hair, came in. "Johnson," said the governor, "you heard all that?" "Every word," replied the other. "Have it prepared for the press exactly as it occurred, and explain why we used the dictaphone." Boss Lloyd laughed contemptuously. "That won't go," he retorted. "I guess the people will think the laugh's on you, not me. A governor turned policeman and using a dictaphone to trap a caller! Maybe someone's used the dictaphone on you." "Perhaps," said Peters. "Are you going to have the boy arrested?" "What?" shouted Lloyd. "I'm going to send him to jail, and the news is going to be front-spaced on every paper in the state." "I don't think so," returned Peters quietly. "I have no son." "Say, that's something new, ain't it?" "Not at all." said the governor quietly. "He's only an adopted son. His father wanted him, but, having found him, I thought it best to let him grow up unashamed. However, it seems to be in the blood, and I wash my hand of him. He's yours, Lloyd." DIED BLIND AND IN POVERTY Inventor of Steam Foghorn an Example of the Ingratitude of the World. The man who invented and installed the first steam foghorn died blind and in poverty despite his varied attainments and achievements in widely differing fields. He was John Foulis, a Scotchman, who came to St. John, N. B., in the early years of the last century. An interesting description of this versatile Scot is given in a paper read before the St. John Historical society by William Murdoch. C. E. Murdoch says of Foulis: "He was a nephew of the brothers Robert and Andrew Foulis of Glasgow, printers and publishers, whose productions were the admiration of all their contemporaries, and whose edition of Horace, published in 1744, was hung up sheet by sheet, in Glasgow, and a reward offered for the discovery of a single error. "This scion of an intelligent breed was a graduate of Glasgow university. After various experiences when a young man, even to serving as surgeon on a whaling ship, he finally settled in St. John and became a land surveyor, artist, analytical chemist and a civil and mechanical engineer. His survey of the River St. John is still in vogue in the Crown land office of this province. His chemical knowledge ranged from analyzing ores to making his own whisky when overtaken by adversity. "While operating as a mechanical engineer and owning a foundry he engineed the first steam ferrybout to cross St. John harbor, besides the first steam craft to ply the St. John river. Later on, when Mr. Foulis was the engineer of the light and signal service of the government of New Brunswick, his principal charge being Partridge island (at the harbor's entrance), wheron was an automatic fog bell, 1 proposed a steam whistle, steam whistles being then new to the world. "Later on his suggestion was acted upon. There was no patent law then and though in his old age, blind and poor, he was given no compensation, and the inventor of the foghorn died in poverty." Suspended Animation: It has been determined that the fluids of insect bodies, for instance, freeze at 41 degrees Fahrenheit, any vital function becoming impossible at this temperature. At temperatures between this point and the temperature at which death will occur, a strange condition of suspended animation exists, the organism being, as it were, between life and death. In such a state the vital functions stop work, and as there is no activity in the body, no food is required. Animals placed in this state are readily restored by the gradual rise in temperature. This condition can be compared with that of a clock with stopped pendulum, the mechanism of which could be at any moment started again by a slight impulse given to the pendulum. The Reason. "Why are Indians more stolical in the face of death than white men?" "That's easy. Indians are accustomed to dyeing." Country With a Future. Americans frequently fail to appreciate the size of Australia and the number of its people. This great continent has an area of 1,419,320 square miles within the tropical zone, and 1,825,261 square miles within the temperate zone. It has 5,000,000 people, almost wholly of British origin. Mt. McKinley National Park Mt. McKINLEY FTER hearing Stephen Mather of the department of the interior and James Wickersham, association, the Camp Fire Club of America and the Boone and Crocket club. delegate from Alaska to congress, talk about that country and its future possibilities you almost think that one of the routine duties of the United States ambassador at Petrograd ought to be to apologize to the Russians every other day or so for buying that peninsula for only $7,000,000. And what Mather and Wickersham are saying is what the 60,000 people of the territory and all the big game hunters and naturalists of the United States are thinking, and what all the traveling, sight-seeing world will gladly admit, say those who already know, as soon as the federal government is ready to invite the world to come and ride on its new railroad to the new Mount McKinley national park, remarks a writer in the New York Times. The railroad, strictly a government enterprise, is now under construction. A bill to set aside 2,200 square miles of the Alaska range, the highest land on the continent, as a national park has been introduced by Mr. Wickersham and is pending in congress. But park and road should be considered together in making any forecast of what Alaska is going to mean to the country at large. The railroad, which starts at Seward, on the southern coast of the peninsula—the Gulf of Alaska—is to run north to Fairbanks, a distance of 400 miles, or almost half way to the shores of the Arctic. The primary, commercial purpose of the road is to provide an outlet for the products of the rich Tanana valley, but, plus that, it will make Mount McKinley, now not much more than a name except to a handful of explorers and hunters, as accessible as Yellowstone park. The new railroad will bring Mount McKinley within three weeks' travel of New York city, which is another way of saying that the sledioads of dead animals will become a great deal more numerous unless the government is armed with protective park authority before the sale of railway tickets begins. Little Gold in Proposed Park. There is no fear that the mining and hunting privilege will be a menace to the region as a park. "As a matter of fact," said Robert Sterling Yard, who is associated with Mr. Mather in all national park matters, "we do not expect the mining operations to amount to much, for the evidence of the geological experts indicates that there is little gold in the region which is to be set apart. As to the game, we will have in Mount McKinley park the repetition of the story of the Yellowstone, where there has not been a gun fired legally since 1872 and where there is more game now than before the coming of the white man, for now there are no Indian hunters. Cavalry patrols and ceaseless watching for poachers have made the Yellowstone a paradise for animals. McKinley is that now, always has been and with the passage of this bill, always will be." But the conservation of wild life, as important as that is, is but one of the objects which the government has in view in the Alaska range. The railroad, at least to Broad pass, will be ready for operation by the summer of 1917, either by the government itself or by private capital under federal lease, a detail that has not yet been worked out, but the main point is to get Mount McKinley and the 2,200 square miles of surrounding country under the jurisdiction of the department of the interior as a national park before the stream of tourist travel is turned into the country over the new line. Otherwise there will be serious damage to one of the chief assets of the region, its present abundance of great game. So keen is the appreciation of this danger that Assistant Secretary Mather is being backed in his efforts to get the required legislation by the American Game Protective as- A certain worthy bishop was very fond of a quiet smoke, and he did not think that the habit was out of keeping with his high office. The archdeacon of the diocese, however, thought differently, and did not hesitate to proclaim his opinion. On one occasion the archdeacon was the guest of the bishop, and preached at the cathedral evening service. Having returned to the episcopal palace, he was gazing from the library window when he detected the bishop walking in the garden below, smoking a cigar, as he thought, in safe privacy. "Ah, bishop," said the archdeacon, as he opened the window, "so I have caught you burning incense to the devil!" "Perhaps you have," retorted the bishop; "but I didn't know he was so near." Carelessness Costs Lives. Living by the seashore or mostly in the open air in the rural districts, a fine, hardy manhood has been developed in Chile. The highest death rate is in the towns and cities, where dwelling houses lack the most elementary appliances of sanitation. Small- sociation, the Camp Fire Club of America and the Boone and Crockett club. Is Paradise of the Hunter. Belmore Browne, the explorer and hunter, who has spent three years on Mount McKinley, has, in behalf of the department and of the committee on conservation of forests and wild life of the Camp Fire club, issued an appeal for the establishment of the park in which he says: "Here can still be seen the wild herds protected from man by the ruggedness of the country. Ginnt moose still stalk through the timber line valleys, herds of caribou move easily across the moss-covered hills, bands of white big-horn sheep are on the mountainsides, while at any time the powerful form of the grizzly bear may give the crowning touch to the wildness of the picture. But while the Mount McKinley region is the fountainhead from which come the herds of game that supply the huge expanse of south central Alaska, that fountainhead is menaced. Civilization is closing in, and already sleddons of dead animals from the mountain country have reached Fairbanks market. Unless a refuge is set aside in which the animals that remain can breed and rear their young unmolested they will soon follow the buffalo. "Just assume for a moment, that the scenic supremacy of Mount McKinley and the conservation of its game are not, singly or together, sufficient justification for this park project (which they are, of course), and we still have a third reason, sufficient in itself, which justifies McKinley and all the other national parks of the country. These great reservations cannot be dismissed as merely recreational or sentimental, esthetic or educational. They are all that, but, most important of all, they are economic. They constitute a great business asset, as such hitherto overlooked entirely by the country. "Switzerland lives on her scenery. She has developed it selentifically into a business. She maintains tourist agencies and expensive publicity operations in every foreign country from which profitable income may be derived. She entertains the world. A few years ago Canada went into this same scenery business, combining American imagination and enterprise with British thoroughness. She advertised extensively and wisely, and today Switzerland and Canada share the scenic reputation of the world, also the profits How the Government Advertises. "But the assets of the United States for this same sort of enterprise are the best in the world. The difficulty in the necessary propaganda or educational work, or whatever you want to call it, is that this country's stock in trade is of such magnitude and such rare quality that if you even attempt to describe it adequately people won't believe you. "So the government sticks to the barest facts, tells the world that in its Glacier park more than sixty glaciers, coming from cliffs thousands of feet high, feed hundreds of lakes, in one of which the icecergs last all summer. And we let it go at that, not a single adjective, and it is the same way throughout the list of the eight national parks of the first order. "In the park in the Alaska range, when congress turns it over to this department, the people of the United States will have the top notch of the scenery of the world in their own keeping for all time. Mount McKinley itself is more than 20,000 feet high. There are greater heights in the Himalayas, it is true, but they are not dominating because of the high average level of all about them. McKinley, on the contrary, is so isolated in its magnitude, so much greater than the rest of the range, that it presents the spectacle of a sheer rise of 17,000 feet. Furthermore, it is accessible, or soon will be. The Himalayas are not." pox and typhoid are very prevalent, and some years fearful epidemics break out. Pneumonia and tuberculosis are also prevalent. But Chile's high death rate is mainly accounted for by the heavy infantile mortality from contagious diseases. The birth record of Chile is one of the highest in the world, but the mean rate of increase in population by excess of births over deaths reduces it to one of the lowest in the world. Thus one of the most healthful countries in the world reduces its increase to a minimum through ignorance, carelessness in the treatment of children and the bad sanitary conditions in the dwellings of the working classes. Splendid Quality of Mercifulness. Splendid Quality of Mercifulness. Mercifulness manifests itself in two ways: First, in patience and forbearance toward those who do wrong, leniency toward those who fall; and second, in ministrations of kindness and love to those who are in need. The first of these manifestations is negative. The other phase of the quality is active and positive.—Rev. J. R. Miller. D. D.

Mashed-Potato Rusks. One-half cake of compressed yeast, one-half cupful mashed potatoes, one-half cupful sugar. Mix at noon and let stand in a warm place until bedtime. Then add one-half cupful melted butter, two eggs (beaten light), pinch of salt and flour enough to stiffen (but not as stiff as bread dough). Let rise until morning, roll and cut with a biscuit cutter and let rise again. Bake not having the oven very hot when they first go in. Stuffed Potatoes. Select fine large potatoes and bake until tender.

Return the mixture to the skins, mounting it up on the open end, and with these uppermost set the potatoes in the oven five minutes. Eat from the skins. Delicious WASHINGTON GOSSIP High Cost of Flags Now Hits the United States WASHINGTON.—Now comes the high cost of flag-raising. The rapacious maw of Mars, in consuming every conceivable resource, has not passed by even the standards for which men die at his altar. 70 per cent and the end is not yet. Asked whether the tremendous increase in export of cotton, coupled with the existing shortage, would stop the manufacture of flags, Arthur Copeland, president of the M. G. Copeland company, declared the people of the country would always insist on having flags, and cited historical instances of the use of rags as standards when nothing else was available as evidence of the lengths to which patriots will go. Mr. Copeland added that while the present situation is serious, it did not seem to threaten a suspension of flag production. "The cost of dyes is a factor which makes for expensive flags," said Mr. Copeland.

He only remembers the rest vaguely. As through a mist he became suddenly conscious that it was awfully hot. His feet insisted upon spreading all over the place and his hands kept growing larger and larger. Why did they all keep looking at him? Was there anything the matter? And then he heard the concluding sentence of the doctor's lecture. He says it was something like this: "An' now, ladies,' he sez, 'we shall practice bandagin' a wounded head, a badly wounded head. This young gentleman has agreed to act as de patient,' he sez. Dat's me, fellers, Den he toms to me. 'We shall need lots of bandages,' he sez.

How the District's Doughnut Cabinet Originated How the District's Doughnut Cabinet Originated WHEN Louis Brownlow and Oliver Newman were newspaper men they would occasionally go to the grillroom of a big downtown hotel for luncheon, and there they would cast long glances at the round table, where a doughnut mentally. Each of them says today that they had never at that early date eaten one in reality in that hotel because they feared the price would be something like 40 cents apiece, and they didn't care to squander that much on a single-tube doughnut, without antiskid appliances. But they would glance over at the table where sat the gourmandizing bank directors and railway magnates, and it seemed to be bending in the middle with doughnuts. They wondered when they, too, could sit down and order all the necessities of life, and add a plate of doughnuts just for good measure. In fact, doughnuts in a hotel grew to be the mark of extreme luxury for these two young men. Then one day they found they were commissioners of the District of Columbia, and the center of a group of administrative officials who wanted to get together every day at luncheon to talk things over. So they went to the big hotel and arranged for a round table daily. The first day they all sat down the head waiter placed on the table about one bushel of those George H. Harris doughnuts. "We didn't order these," said Louis—I mean Commissioner Brownlow—weakly. "I know," returned the waiter with a smile. "They are like bread and butter. We make no charge for them." And then Louis looked at Ollie and Ollie looked at Louis, and together they tried to figure out how many doughnuts the hotel owed them for past luncheons. And that is why that big round table at a certain hotel near the District building is reserved for what they call "the doughnut cabinet."

By CLARENCE RIDGE (Copyright, 1916, by W. G. Chapman.) Tom Linton had served four and a quarter years when he was released from the penitentiary with a new suit and fourteen dollars in his pocket, and he had one idea in mind, to find Molly, his sweetheart, and marry her and start a decent life in some place where he was unknown. For eighteen months Molly had come to see him, or written. Then she had dropped out of his life. Linton did not feel bitter about this. He knew few women would be true for a five-year term; but he knew he could win her back if—here was the thought that terrified him—if she had not married another. Both Molly and Tom came of decent folk. Molly had never known until Tom was arrested that he had lived by crime; and Tom, with nine hundred salted away, had meant to marry her and quit the life. But he had tried once more—burglary. He had been caught red-handed, and he had lost everything, including his money, which his lawyer had taken. He could not find Molly. Nobody knew anything about her and fourteen dollars does not last very long in a big city. Tom soon turned his thoughts toward the old career. In one way his opportunities were excellent. Tom was not a regular criminal. He had taken to crime, but he had not been born to it. He had never worked with a man in his life. He was the solitary criminal whom the police fear more than any other sort. Now, in burglary the advantages of partnership are obvious. There is a good deal of spade work to be done first, getting acquainted with maids, gaining entrance to the grounds, and so forth. The hit-or-miss burglar may get anything or nothing. He is much more liable to get caught. Tom had seen an old house which stood in an unfrequented road. It had taken his fancy. There must be wealth in that he thought—silver plate, possibly jewelry. He had seen the old man who came limping out to enter his automobile, and had noticed that he had no butler—only a female servant. He had looked through the windows at night and seen the old master seated alone in his chair, reading. There was a massive library. Tom Linton resolved to make another bid for capital. He was fascinated by the life, but he felt that the world was against him. w. Tom Could Not Say a Word. And, with Molly lost, somehow he cared very little about anything. He laid his plans well, discovered the policeman's beat allowed him ten minutes' grace, and, soon after one in the morning, he climbed through the window on the side and made his way along the corridor in the darkness. Tom had acquired the "feel" of a house. He knew that there would be a room at a certain place on the right, and another opposite; but he was not sure which was the clining room, and he had a notion to try for old silver. Back in the yard he had his bag, and there was a convenient hiding place at the foot of the hill. He opened the door on the right noiselessly, felt for the switch and turned the button. He looked into the library. For a moment he was startled; then he perceived that the room was much larger than he had believed, extending right through the house. He crept forward cautiously. Some heavy curtains hung between the front and rear parts, shutting off half the room from view. Linton moved softly up to the curtains. He drew them aside and found himself looking at Molly. She was in evening dress, with a long coat, unbuttoned, over it. In her right hand she held a revolver, and she was alighting at Tom's head. Tom could not say a word. Molly and he continued to look at each other fixedly. Oddly enough, at such a crisis, Tom felt that his clothes were shabby. "So it is you, Tom," said Molly presently. "You—you live here?" stammered Tom. "Does it look like it? So you are up to your old game, stealing into people's houses. You remembered what you promised me." "Listen, Molly," said Tom. "When you went away last time you said you'd come back. And you didn't come back. I was waiting for you all the rest of my imprisonment, and when I came out I meant to find you and ask you to come away with me somewhere where we could begin our lives again—" Molly laughed scornfully. "You thought I wanted a jailbird, I suppose," she taunted him. "What have THANKSGIVING PRAISE HIM for This Most Precious Gift He reflected that across the Atlantic millions of human beings were at that very moment engaged in the dreadful task of killing other human beings with every invention which ingenuity and skill could bring forth from the laboratories of science and the workshops of industry. In other lands at that very moment tens of thousands upon tens of thousands of helpless folk—feeble, aged men and women, mothers with babes clinging convulsively to their breasts, little children sobbing in terror, a vast army of the innocent and the anguished—were enduring the extremities of exposure, of hunger, and of despair as they fled from their wasted farmsteads and burning villages, escaping from the pitilless cruelty of savage men only to lie down to suffer and die under the pitilless skies of God in the winter and the bitter storms. At that very moment most dreadful war hid half the world in the blackness of its darkness and from that horrid cloud rained destruction upon unhappy Europe—upon her ancient capitals, upon her pleasant cities, upon her villages, her fields, her temples, her treasures of art, upon all the accumulations of a thousand years of genius, of learning, of industry, of skill and of patient advancement of the happiness and the civilization of the race of man.

He saw in vision at that instant the vastness of the republic and the multitude of the good and happy folk who live under the shelter of its strength. He reflected how brief a time had thus magnified the works of our pioneer fathers and our pioneer mothers, those brave and simple men and women whose names should never be mentioned with anything but profound gratitude. And to this American, glad with a great pride in the deeds of his people and the story of his country, and grateful to the Goodness which has guided and sheltered his fathers and his folk, lifted up his eyes to the night, to the quiet stars, to the brooding immensity above, and said in his heart: Charles M. Schwab, the Bethlehem steel king, is probably the most beloved "boss" in America. His men say there would be no strikes if others were like him. The American Megazine prints an article about him in which this occurs: "They call him 'Charlie' at Homestead; he is 'Charlie' when he goes back there now to visit the 'boys.' Those who were there in the old days he still knows by name, and just how long they have been on the job. When he went down to Homestead to say good-by, after resigning as president of the Carnegie Steel company, five thousand you to say now why I shouldn't *telephone for the police?* "I guess there's nothing," answered Tom hopelessly. "It was my last try, just to get some money—" "That's what you told the judge at your trial." "Molly," said Tom, "if you'll let me go I'm through with it. It was for your sake—" "For my sake? How dare you! Did I ever know the nature of your life? Did I dream—" "I know you didn't, Molly. But I wanted to get a little money for you. I've been hunting for you—God knows how hard I've tried to find you. And I never dreamed you'd be living here, the wife of a rich man. I—let me go, Molly, for the Lord's sake. It isn't the punishment I care about, it's the thought of having seen you, and seeing you again in the court, and going through all that I've gone through once more." "I know that talk," said Molly bitterly, "How much have you taken?" "Nothing, I swear. I just got into the house." "I suppose I'll have to let you go, then," said the girl, musing. "God knows I don't want to have to go into the court again either. You can go, Tom." "God bless you, Molly!" answered Tom eagerly. "I'll live straight now, I swear." He turned and made his way toward the door, switched off the light and was feeling his way along the corridor when he heard the footsteps of the old man on the stairs above him. A light was switched on somewhere on the first floor. Tom Linton hid himself behind the window curtains of the hall through which he had come. As he waited there, breathless, he saw the old man descend the stairs. "I thought I saw a light on below," he heard him mutter to himself, as old men sometimes do. And he passed into the library. Tom was about to dash for the window when, to his amusement, he saw Molly emerge from the door nearest the hall entrance, while at the same time the old man came out of the other. The two met almost face to face. "What is it? Who are you?" demanded the old man testily. It was evident that he did not know her and had no idea how she had happened into the house. "I made a mistake," Molly faltered. "I—I was told to come here—a friend—" The old man broke into chuckling laughter. Clearly he put the worst construction upon the girl's presence; and yet not the natural one. "I guess I'll do as well as your friend, won't I, my dear?" he asked, leering at her. "How dare you!" cried Molly, flaming up. "Well, how dare you come into my house?" retorted the old man. And, stepping toward her, he chucked her under the chin. Suddenly, as Molly screamed, Tom bounded forward. He caught the old fellow by the throat and shook him like a rat. "You hound!" he shouted. "Lemme go!" whimpered the other. "How dare you insult a lady who comes into your house by mistake?" comes into your house by mistake?" "Lemme go. It was a mistake all round," muttered the old man. He wriggled out of Tom's hands. "I apologize," he mumbled. "I didn't mean any harm. I thought—" "Come," said Tom, giving Molly his arm. And together they left the house—this time both by the front door. They passed the policeman on his beat, but he hardly looked at them. At a convenient corner they stopped. "What does it mean, Molly?" asked "What does it mean, Molly?" asked Tom. "I-I went there to steal," whispered the girl. "You were never there before?" She shook her head. "Oh, Tom, you may as well know the worst now. I have become a thief. After the trial I was marked—I couldn't earn an honest living. Everyone hounded me. Then I tried your way. And that was why I didn't let you know where I was. I knew you were looking for me, Tom, and I wanted some money, to meet you, to take you West with me, and I didn't want you to dream—" "That you had become what I am," answered Tom grimly. "Molly," he continued, "the past is gone now. Fortune has brought us together. So let's go West and play the straight game, dear—just as we are, let's work our way out there, or beg, but let's do it together, because we want each other's help to live the way we mean to." Didn't Believe It Had Gone Cases of ignorance on the part of telegraph writers are now rare, but many incidents could be cited from the early days of the telegraph. Several are given in F. E. Baline's "On the Track of the Mall Coach." In the late 40s he received from a countryman a message and promptly sent it. But the countryman flatly declined to believe that it had gone, because he could see it (the form he had filled up) still hanging there, and the operator had to push the form into the instrument and ring the bell to pacify him. A woman insisted upon inclosing the telegraph she had written in an envelope, so that no prying eyes might read it as it went along the wire. Mortified. "I never was so mortified in my life." "What's the matter now?" "You know that little gown I bought for $16.50 that looked as though it must have cost four times that, and was so becoming to me? I never dreamed anyone would guess its price or where I bought it." "Well, did anyone?" "Yes. I wore it for the first time last night at a dinner dance and there were just 16 other women there with gowns exactly like it."—Detroit Free Press. Breakage. "Rafferty," said Mr. Dolan. "What's a treaty?" "A treaty is an agreement. A sort of promise on both sides to prevent a fight." "I don't think they'll work. When a man is ready to smash you in the nose, he won't stop at a little thing like breakin' a promise." GOD be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah. That thy way may be known upon Earth, thy saving health among all nations. Let the people praise Thee, O God; let all the people praise Thee. Then shall the Earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; and all the ends of the Earth shall fear him. From the 67th Psalm. N AN evening of this week it occurred to a man, sitting alone in an upper room, that Thanksgiving day was right at hand. So he bestirred his mind to consider those things for which an American might sensibly offer up gratitude to God. Q So he that considered all this wickedness that was being done under the sun, this drunken dance of death and hell above the fetid corpses and the multitudinous graves, this awful nightmare of indescribable woe and wrath, said in the bitterness of his heart that no God ruled over such a maniac world and there was no thanksgiving due to the Giver of Gifts that were not good, but everyone altogether evil. And when the man had made an end of his thinking, he went and stood in a window and looked out upon the evening, because it was fair to see. He saw in vision at that instant the vastness of the republic and the multitude of the good and happy folk who live under the shelter of its strength. He reflected how brief a time had thus magnified the works of our pioneer fathers and our pioneer mothers, those brave and simple men and women whose names should never be mentioned with anything but profound gratitude. And to this American, glad with a great pride in the deeds of his people and the story of his country, and grateful to the Goodness which has guided and sheltered his fathers and his folk, lifted up his eyes to the night, to the quiet stars, to the brooding immensity above, and said in his heart: "Thank God that I am an American!" And, citizens, that is the one outstanding, splendid fact for which each one of us should soberly and most gratefully thank God on Thanksgiving day this year. The finest thing you possess or ever can possess is just your American citizenship. It is neither necessary nor becoming, on this day or on any other day, to cheapen this birthright of ours by brag or spreadeagle declamation. But it is highly becoming on this Thanksgiving day to feel a deep gratitude and a manly pride in this heritage. WHERE THEY CALL HIM "CHARLIE." Charles M. Schwab, the Bethelehem steel king, is probably the most beloved "boss" in America. His men say there would be no strikes if others were like him. The American Megazine prints an article about him in which this occurs: "They call him 'Charlie' at Homestead; he is 'Charlie' when he goes back there to visit the 'boys.' Those who were there in the old days he still knows by name, and just how long they have been on the job.

We all hear it repeated that patriotism a thing of the past; that our people have become commercialized; that the masses have no deep-rooted loyalty to the country; that our rich men put dollars above the obligations of their citizenship; that our poor folk care little for the ideals of free government; that we Americans are decadent in the virtues and valor which marked our fathers. That is not true. If there be any power in the world which plots war against us Americans and promises itself victory over us on the assumption of our decadence in loyalty, that power will find how terrible was its mistake when our country calls her sons to battle in her defense. We have, it is true, in our capacity as a collective people, left undone things that should have been done and done things which should have been left undone; and there is more truth than there should be in much that is jeeringly said by those who hate us. We acknowledge that much of our politics offends common decency. We see, here and there, painful evidence of corruption among lawmakers and even among the judges, who should know only justice and integrity. We see rich men who do betray their country and foul their hands and soll their souls with most infamous dealings and \most shameful profits. We see Americans who do put the dollar above every consideration of right and duty, above the claims of our common humanity. But while these things are true, it is true also that the heart and conscience of the American people, take them as a nation, are sound and sane and wholesome. The blood of our fathers still runs in the veins of their sons. The spirit of the nation may in- In the pursuit of Villa and his bandits through the arid regions of northern Mexico the United States troops traversed a region whose only vegetation is the barbed and forbidding cactus. To any but a cowboy or a trained plainsman of the Southwest, inhabitants themselves of the "cactus belt," this plant seemingly has no more value than the verlest weed, but it may well be that it may prove of great value to the troops in the absence of water, fodder, or even food for human beings. In the punitive expedition there are many cow punchers of the "cactus belt" serving as scouts, and in the cowboy and the Indian of the Southwest the lowly cactus has its greatest admirer, for they know what a game struggle for life this plant has to make against an unlaved desert soil. Even their ponies and cattle and the poor beasts of the desert know of these uses of the cactus for water and fodder, says the New York Herald. There are some thousand varieties of this monstrous vegetable family, not counting the 300 varieties of the agave, or century plant—incorrectly included by many—in northern Mexico. The varieties of the yucca palm and all other forms of vegetation known to the arid region have the same faculty of sucking up from the soil every drop of the all too little moisture in it and storing it up in their tough and leathery leaves and roots. Of the many varieties perhaps the most remarkable is that member of the family known to those schooled in desert craft as the "water barrel." This plant is shaped somewhat like a beer keg and is about the same size. Through all the years of its growth it has been sopping up what moisture the famished earth contained and retaining it. It is the sole reliance of desert dwellers in time of drought, and the troops, far from water holes and with water scarce, may yet be obliged to drink from it. The "water barrel" is tapped by slicing off the top with a sword or machete and pounding the pulp until the water contained in it wells up into men turned out in a body to wish him good luck. "God bless you, Charlie! 'Here's good luck to you, Charlie!' they shouted. "Do I know him well?' said one grizzled employee at Homestead. 'Is it Charlie Schwab you mean? Shure, don't I mind the first day he came here? An' didn't I work wid him for years? Wid him, mind you. Not for him. Shure, I helped cut the first piece of steel that ever went out of this mill. There isn't a man here that don't give his good will to Charlie Schwab. There'd be no strikes in Ameriky if ivry boss was like him. The first day he come I says to him, says I, "Have you a match?" "I have four," says he, "an' you're wel- deed seem to slumber in the soft bed of longenjoyed peace and security. But let war come against the land and no man need doubt that that spirit will spring up instantly awake. We can rightfully be grateful that it has fallen to our happy lot to live in this most wonderful of all ages and to be citizens of this most wonderful of all the nations. Let your hearts swell with just pride as you contemplate your country, so august, so splendid, so renowned in the earth. Look upon your flag as it streams its bright folds yonder above your heads with proud and happy eyes. Remember how honorable is its story, and forget not how many thousands of brave and good men died that it might wave yonder, the ensign of a free people. Tell to your children the story of their fore-bears, of those men and women who, amid the wilderness and forests that stood where now stand mighty cities and stretch cultivated farms, erected, with hardships and endurance and most heroic faith and valor, the noble edifice of our republican liberties. Speak to them of Bunker Hill and Valley Forge and Saratoga and Yorktown, and of the great Declaration—that most famous Charter of Human Freedom. Tell them to thank God for their fathers' and mothers' hardihood and courage, for the wars they fought, for the victories they won. Tell them to salute their flag with high and proud hearts. Tell them to thank God this Thanksgiving day that they are Americans. And then do you soberly, gratefully, proudly thank God yourself that you are an American. Oh, dear and mighty motherland, what better gift or more to be desired could God give than to be born and to die, strong Daughter of Liberty, between thy shining feet!—From the Chicago American. the saucer thus formed. The pulp itself is pure and the water stored in it is likewise pure and refreshing. Not all the water-bearing cacti are as gracious to famishing man, however, as the "water barrel," for most of them have protected themselves against the maraudings of those who would drink and live by imparting a bitter taste to the water they contain. The "peyote" especially, which abounds in the plains and deserts of Arizona, has a trick of discouraging depredations upon it, for its plump and juicy pulp secretes a bitter and poisonous juice. In the last dozen years scientists have interested themselves in the study of the cactus for its possi- bilities as food, fodder and economic by-products. Dr. Leon E. Landone, foremost in the study of this desert plant, several years ago conducted extensive experiments in Los Angeles to ascertain the value of the thornless cactus as an article of food for human beings. In an effort to prove his contention that it contains food properties sufficient to enable a man to work 18 hours a day, he and his two secretaries for two weeks lived on a daily diet of the leaves and fruit of the cactus, the former being served green or fried and the latter either raw or cooked. While the "cactus squad" sur- vived the experience and professor to have en- joyed their novel diet, it is a fact that the cactus never has attained the popularity of a flet mignon. In the whole vegetable kingdom probably there is not another plant family having so many dif- ferentiation of form as the cacti. For it is pos- sible to find among them species that crawl and creep like vines, other than stand erect in a single unbending stalk, like a green living monument of the desert; still others that are rooted to the spot with their highest growth close to the ground and bearing almost no resemblance to usual forms of vegetation, and others, again, that branch out in thick unblooming branches. come to thim," he says.

"The wrongs against society are committed by our people, not in their hours of work, but in their hours of leisure," writes Gov. Martin G. Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania to President J. Horace McFarland of the American Civic association at Washington, in commendation of its movement for the extension and larger use of parks in American cities. That the economic value of parks and recreational areas is being recognized today to a greater extent than ever before is amply demonstrated by the reports that come to the association of municipal procedure for the acquisition of increased park lands, and at the same time changed methods of administration. The new attitude toward parks is that they shall be service parks—not merely ornamental adornments for the exclusive use of the few who ride, but for the millions who walk. The importance of the accessibility of parks to the masses of the population is illustrated by the growing habit, in the creation of park systems, of acquiring many small parks, harmoniously distributed and connected, rather than the maintenance of one or more great parks on the outskirts. The large park will continue to be popular, but it will be supplemented by groups of small parks given over to recreation purposes, "Verboten" in respect to the use of the grass is a discarded injunction; now it is "Welcome" everywhere. WHEN LAYING OUT GROUNDS Remember You Owe It to Your Neighbors to Make the Best Possible Appearance. The first thing to be taken into consideration in laying out grounds is to locate carefully all areas and all architectural features. If the drives and walks are not constructed they should be included in the first study, as they are generally worked out before anything else is attempted. If there is to be a formal garden, it should see a part of the house itself and should be so placed that it may be appreciated from the principal windows and porches. The dining and living rooms should have the best views, and the kitchen may open upon the laundry yard or service court. Care should be exercised to keep the place from being broken up any more than necessary, and, with the areas located, the planting lines may be studied. Open spaces should never be obstructed by gaudy flower beds or in appropriate vases. In most cases there should be some planting at the corner of the property to indicate the lot line and to draw in the place, making it seem more private and homelike. There are cases where the whole side should be planted, and this is best accomplished with well selected, dense shrubs. The shrubs with brightest colors should be placed so that they may be appreciated from the most important part of the house. PASTIME WELL WORTH WHILE If Contemplating Building, it will Pay One to Study Historic Designs in Architecture. A study of historic designs in architecture is a pastime which not only furnishes a pleasant form of recreation, but will, when one's own house is contemplated, prove exceedingly helpful. To be able to recognize at a glance the lines and modifications of these historic styles, as expressed in the different houses with which you come in contact, will be most gratifying; and when you reach the plan stage of your own home, you need not go to your architect entirely void of ideas. The Athenian Oath We of America love our cities as the ancient Athenian loved Athens. It would be well if we, too, would subscribe to the oath which he was glad to take regarding that center of culture and beauty: "We will never bring disgrace to this our city by any act of dishonesty or cowardice, nor never desert our comrades; we will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city, both alone and with many; we will revere and obey the city's laws, and do our best to incite a like respect and reverence in those above us who are prone to annul and set them at naught; we will strive unceasingly to quicken the public's sense of civic duty; that thus, in all these ways, we may transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us." If every citizen of every American town would live according to the spirit of the Athenian oath, how much more desirable would residence in cities become. How much more worth while would life anywhere be.' And it is not difficult to think of our city as so desirable a place that we would not wish to mar its loveliness by any act or thought—Houston Post. To Save the Trees A simple and effective way of destroying tussock caterpillars is as follows: Spread a large piece of canvas, rug or cloth under the tree, and sprinkle the tree thoroughly from hose. The caterpillars, which have a great dislike for water, will immediately fall from the tree to the canvas and then they may be easily destroyed. By this method I have saved an apple tree from being entirely stripped of its leaves by the pests. The "treatment" should be continued until the last caterpillar is destroyed.

WATTS 1604 East 10th Street DR. THEO. SMITH Possibly no man stands higher in the esteem and regard in which he is held by those who know him as a business man, a gentleman and a real philanthropist than does Dr. Theodore Smith, the well known druggist, whose place of business is 1301 East 18th street. While Dr. Smith is modest and unassuming in his philanthropy, yet he is continually doing something that demonstrates his largeness of heart and his deep concern for his people. He maintained for several years a free clinic for the deserving poor. He sends his check to a number of ministers of the city annually to assist them in their work. He sends kindling and coal to a number of poor and needy families and neighbors when it is bitterly cold. He was the first man to send his check to Allen chapel in their recent Men's rally. He is the constant contributor to the Old Folks' and Orphans' home. He has been one of the most loyal and consistent supporters of Negro newspapers. He is a member of Amos Johnson lodge of Free Masons and stands high in business and social circles. He is a member of the Ivanhoe club, the leading social organization of the city, and, to epitomize, he is a booster for all good things and a knocker for all that's bad. The Sun is proud of the splendid record made by Dr. Theodore Smith in the years he has resided in our community. Dr. W. H. Dyer was a guest of Dr. T. C. Unthank last week.
