NUMBER 26. FIVE INNOCENT MEN LYNCHED. In Georgia a sheriff was murdered a year ago. Suspicion fell upon six negroes. Promptly the usual Georgia mob formed and five of the negroes were lynched. Jim, Keith, the sixth negro, escaped lynching, but was afterward captured and under protection of the authorities was tried, found guilty and sentenced to a life term in the penitentiary. Scarcely had Jim Keith begun to serve his lifetime sentence when new evidence came to light which indicated that he was innocent. The supreme court gave him a new trial and at that trial, which has just ended, it was proved that Jim Keith was innocent, and that the five men who were lynched a year ago were innocent. There was not a scrap of evidence to even point the finger of suspicion to those six negroes, but, the proof was that another negro, Mozelle Lake, had done the murder alone. But Lake has gone, no one knows where. A jury of white men acquitted Jim Keith and gave him his liberty; but what of the five negroes who were lynched? —K. C. Star.

There is one gentle art our race hath learned to a frazzle and a fare-you well and that is the art of knocking. 3. They use not a hammer, O my Son, but an ax, and use it most royally. 4. Whenever a black man would try to do he is hammered to a cute finish. 5. If he succeed the mob handeth him the noise that he is a robber and a thief and that he hath the swelled noodle and the high eyed go-by. 6. If he failleth, they giggle with glee and whisper joyfully, "I told you so." 7. Racial praise for a grand race effort is as rare as an oasis in the Mojave desert. 8. Thou must know, O my Son, that a little praise to a man or woman for something rightly done is like gasoline and motor oil for a struggling automobile. 9. Lay aside thine axe and get thee a horn and learn the tune of the rooting rah rah. 10. Thy race nee is it, O my Son, in its travel towards the high lights and great plateau. —Omaha Monitor. THE SQUARE DEAL "What is the 'Square Deal,' papa?" "Why, that means every citizen is treated exactly alike." "Does that include Colored people, papa?" "Hush, hush, my Son, the Star might hear you; but secretly that don't include Negroes!" "Why do people fear the Star, papa?" Hush, Son! come hear. I will whisper to you." (Whisper.) "Oh—h! I see! Should the people support any scheme the Star advocates papa?" "Not on your tintype, Son, unless they want to get stung." "Papa, is this 'Manager' Plan a larger steal—something like the larger Station Park Plan?" "Hush, Son, you are so indiscreet." (Whisper.) MORAL Swat the Freak Charter. PROF. ROBT. G.

One of the things aimed at of the South, has been to educate inferiority of the Colored race the almost universal practice to the Negro's weaknesses, unexaggerating his vices; at the in many cases, no attention to respectibility and worth as a headlines told of his unparallel there have been a few notable profoundly grateful.

This has been evidenced by the almost universal practice of giving the widest publicity to the Negro's weaknesses, unduly stressing his crimes and exaggerating his vices; at the same time paying but little, in many cases, no attention to his virtues, his progress, his respectibility and worth as a citizen; seldom have glaring headlines told of his unparalleled achievements. Of course, there have been a few notable exceptions, for which we are profoundly grateful. That the race has been able to do so well under such conditions and facing such hostile sentiment, fanned by the white press and acquiesced in by the white pulpit, to an astonishing degree, is one of the wonders of the world. That the race has been so slow in recognizing the imperative press of its own, and so derilect and half-hearted in its support of the same, has been amazingly disappointing to those who have endeavored to serve in that direction. The white man has been able to build up papers that are not only large and powerful in their circulation and influence, but large in the financial returns for the investment made, and this, too, not without the support of the Negro. On the other hand, if any Negro has become rich in the newspaper business, we have not had an introduction to him. As a matter of fact, the average Negro newspaper just barely exists; due to the lack of whole-hearted, loyal support, the race should give to its own press which seek so unselfishly and sacrificingly to serve the people—The Christian Index, Jackson, Tenn. HOWARD UNIVERSITY FIFTY YEARS OLD. To Celebrate Golden Anniversary With a Reunion of Its Graduates. Washington, D. C., Feb. 15.—Trustees of Howard University plan to celebrate the Fiftieth Anniversary of the founding of the institution with a Sociological Conference, at which addresses and reports will be made by some of the most distinguished soilologists, teachers and leaders of the colored race; and also with a reunion on March 2 and 3, of the Alumni, many of whom will probably remain in Washington for the Inauguration on March 5th. Advance figures from the Official Program of the Anniversary show that the University has graduated 4,591 students since 1867, including 1,000 doctors, 844 teachers and bachelors, 771 lawyers, 432 ministers, 324 dentists, 264 pharmacists, 703 from the Acamedy, and all other departments 362. ATTEMPTED BLACKMAIL. Henderson, Ky., Feb. 14.—Two weeks ago Wm. Kelly, a white man, entered the office of Dr. Wilson, colored, and accused him of having performed a criminal operation on a white woman who had just left the doctor's office. He brandished a gun and threatened to kill Dr. Wilson unless he "coughed up" $50. Dr. Wilson denied the charge and declared he had no money. He offered to go down stairs and get $10. When allowed to g he called the police and told them of the plot between the white men and women to blackmail him. He was sent back with a marked $10 bill and when Kelly came out of the office he was arrested and the bill found on him. The woman was not caught. It is said Kelly had a list of names of every colored doctor in the small towns of the state. It is also alleged he had worked this scheme on other colored physiicians. At his trial Kelly was given six months in jail. This is a pretty nice scheme and Colored doctors are warned to look out for such blackmailers and do as Dr. Wilson did.

We teach --- SIGNS OF THE TIMES OR PRO PHECY FULFILLED. By Samuel Steele, Bible Student War Signs. Our Lord in Matt. 24:3:8 gives us certain "War Signs" that shall prevail in these last days. Certainly all students of our times will agree that the dominant idea of today is nt Christ, but war. Certainly force and avarice rules the hour. The world says: "Peace—Safety." God says, "Wars and rumors of wars." Europe's war debt before the Russo-Japan war was two billions, three hundred million dollars. Nations almost starving while trying to pay war debts. With her twenty-three million soldiers, Europe has been awaiting this coming struggle of "Nations against nations." This is not the war of "Armageddon" referred to in Ezekiel 38 chapter, but is only an earnest of what is to come during the great tribulation. Ezekiel 22:17:22; Zachariah 14:2; Jeremiah 30:6; Matthew 24:15:22; Revelation 4 and 19 chapters. The three great world-wide evils today, Iguor, opium, war in heathendom, are all kept up by so-called Christian nations. Every ship that carries a missionary to Africa is loaded down with American rum. Fifty years ago there was no gun in all Asia that would kill fifty yards. All kinds of death dealing and destructive agencies are now being furnished by our boasted Christian nations; such as repeating rifles, Gatling guns, nitro-glycerine etc. China's army today, is taught and drilled by men from our so-called Christian nations. Surely, every nation on the globe is armed to the teeth while "wars and rumors of wars" are heard on all sides carrying out the prophecy of Joel 3:9-11, "Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; hooks into spears; let the weak say, I am strong." Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen and gather yourselves together 'round about: thither cause they might ones to come down, O Lord." Worldly Signs. We are shown in many ways that "perilous times" are upon us, that crime will be on the increase in the latter days and that "men shall be lovers of their ownselves—lovers of pleasure more than lover of God, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; having a form of goodness, but denying the power thereof; from such turn away. Therefore, wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey; or my determination is to gather the nations that I may assemble the kings, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my lerce anger; for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.

LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 25 JESUS AT POOL OF BETHESDA. LESSON TEXT-John 5:1-15 GOLDEN GOLDEN—an unusual which is a very fine novel—John 5:1-15 Following the events of last Sunday's lesson, Jesus went to Jerusalem to attend the feast (v. 1). He went up according to the requirements of the Jewish law (Ex. 34:23; see Gal. 4:4), but he was not satisfied with the conventional fulfilling of the duties for that occasion, nor was he occupied with social and commercial functions, but in "going about doing good." The feast was an occasion of joy and mirth on every hand, but in the midst of it is this great need so graphically pictured in this lesson. How true this is to our daily experience. Teachers should appeal to the imagination of their scholars and describe as vividly as possible this pool. Let them depict a room, on the floor of which is a pool; in one corner of the room a stairway leading up to the ceiling; surrounding the room, at the top of the wall a broad walk; on the wall, looking down toward the floor and the pool is "a multitude of them that were blind, halt and withered." These were the wretched ones who sought the pool, and evidently Jesus sought the most wretched of this company. 1. Jesus went where was need (v. 6). He went in the midst of this company Jesus "saw" this man lie. He had been there often (v. 7), and his case seemed to be beyond all hope, but there is nothing too hard for God (Gen. 18:14; Jer. 32:17). 2. Jesus throws the responsibility upon the man (v. 6). Jesus had eyes not only to see need, but he also saw God's and his own personal power to relieve the need. The question is, what do we see as we journey through life? Are our eyes open to the great needs of men, spiritually and morally, and are we aware of the resources which God has placed at our disposal to meet these fundamental needs of men? III. Jesus was moved with compassion (Matt. 14:14). He always has that feeling when he looks upon suffering and the misfortunes of men (Heb. 13:8; 4:15:18; Isa. 63:9). Jesus does not do for the man what the man can do for himself; so he makes his first appeal to the man's desire and, through his desire, to the man's will, "Wilt thou be made whole?" The fact that he has been a long time in his predicament, or the fact that a sinner has been a long time in an evil state is no reason for supposing that Jesus will not take interest in him or that he cannot save and help and heal him (Matt. 9:21; Luke 8:43; Acts 3:2). His question throws the whole matter upon the will of the man. Jesus is willing and able; the only question is, are 'we willing? (Rev. 22:17). The only thing that keeps men from enjoying eternal life is their personal attitude toward God (John 5:40). Jesus did not ask the man if he would be made better, but if he would be made whole. He does not wish to make the sinner better, but to make him whole. IV. Jesus commands the impossible. The man thought the only way he could be made whole was through the efficiency of the waters in this pool, but Jesus, by speaking a word, had the power that would heal him (Ps. 107:20); so today it is the power of the word of Christ that can save all who believe on him (Rom. 1:16). All we have to do to live is to hear and believe (John 5:24). With the command of Christ, "Rise, take up thy bed," was enabling power. The cure was not only complete, but it was instantaneous (Acts 3:7,8). V. He worked a complete cure. He was made whole even according to the question which Jesus had asked at the outset. The man at once began to use this Christ-given strength by taking up his bed, and doing exactly as he was commanded (II Tim. 3:12). Jesus likes these hard cases, those of "long standing" (v. 5). He also likes those that are the results of sin, for that was his work in the world (v. 14; Matt. 1:21). VI. Opposition and danger (vv. 10:15). The objection raised was that Jesus had transgressed the Jewish law. The man's answer to this was, "He hath made me whole." The word of God is our law (Matt. 17:5). The strength that Jesus gives us is to be used in obedience to him in glorifying his name. The man did not tell the Jews who it was that made him whole, because he did not know, himself; but as soon as he found out who it was he told them without fear or hesitancy. He did not even wait for them to ask him, but sought an opportunity for witnessing (v. 15). Any man who is truly saved will at once give his witness to others. The admonition which Jesus gave to this man (v. 14) still holds good. How many men we have seen who have been saved from the drink habit or some other evil in life, and who have grown indifferent or careless and returned to their sin only to have "a worse thing come unto them." It is interesting to notice that Jesus performed this miracle in the face of great opposition and danger. The Jews (v. 16) sought, to slay him for having thus violated their law. They gave more thought to his disregard of their traditions than they did to his deed of goodness on behalf of this unfortunate man. Many today are so occupied with the violations of conventionalities or the disregard some good man has for the traditions of polite society as to overlook the beneficent work God may do through him. There are many today who are greater stickler for the religious traditions of the church than they are to see the sinful, the sorrowing and the needy ones relieved, and many of these, like those ancient Jews, are murderers at heart. DIRECTIONS, FOR PLAIN CAKE Simple Confection to Serve at Lunch eon or to Follow the Sunday Evening Supper. One and one-half cupfuls of pastry flour or one and one-eighth cupfuls bread flour, two teaspoonfuls baking powder, speck of salt, one-fourth cupspoonful grated nutmeg, one-fourth cupful butter, one cupful sugar, two eggs, one-half cupful milk. With a plain cake as a foundation many variations may be made. Substitute one-half teaspoonful of vanilla or lemon extract for the nutmeg. For a white or silver cake omit the egg yolks and use the whites only, more may be added for layer cake. Bake in shallow pans of equal size and when cooked place filling between the layers. Rillon cake may be made by dividing the latter into two or more equal parts. Color one or more and bake each portion separately, then place in layers with jelly between. A richer cake may be made by using twice the quantity of butter and one-fourth cupful of flour should then be added. For raisin or nut cake add one-half cupful of seeded raisins or chopped nuts, sprinkle with two table-spoonsfuls of flour and add to sifted dry ingredients. Currants or citron may also be added. Dark cake may be made by adding molasses, spices, cocon, etc. Add flour to make the butter of required consistency. For marble cake put a portion of plain or white cake into the baking pan, scatter a spoonful of a dark cake mixture over it and cover with remainder of the light mixture. DAINTIES FOR LUNCH BASKET Take Only a Little Time to Prepare and Will Be Appreciated by the Schoolgirl or Boy. Tiny buttered tea rolls, potato salad (in small inr), sponge cake, coffee, (in small bottle). Brown bread sandwiches, stuffed eggs, vanilla cookies. Nut sandwiches, cold roast veal, cake of sweet chocolate. Date sandwiches, jar of chicken salad, apple turnovers. Plain bread and butter sandwich, cold roast beef, stuffed dates. If possible, through the winter months it would be well to have small jars of chowder, soups, coffee, tea, cocoa, or anything that may be reheated. These may be placed in dishes of hot water over gas or heated in any way to make a warm lunch for the girls. German Kuchen. Take one quart of milk, one cupful of butter and lard mixed and scald. When cool add two cupfuls of sugar, two cupfuls salt, one yeast cake and about 11 cupfuls of flour. Be sure and not have the dough too stiff. Raise over night. In the morning roll out one-half inch thick and lay on rows of apples. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and raise a little white. Bake till the apples are tender. Cinnamon Kuchen—Roll the same as for above. Then take three common crackers rolled fine and the same amount of sugar with a little cinnamon and mix together. Spread little bits of butter on the cakes and then cover with the mixture of crackers and sugar. Kuchen Loaf.-Cut one-fourth cupful raisins fine and add to some of the dough and raise and bake the same as bread. Fruit Salad. Take any fruits in season, and pare and cut them into neat pieces. Bananas, pineapple and pears make a good combination, and orange quarters may be added too, with the seeds and thin, tough skin covering the quarters removed. Put all the fruit into a deep bowl, the pineapple on top. Sprinkle sugar thickly on top, and add lemon juice and water in the proportion of one part of lemon juice to four parts of water. Add enough liquid barely to cover the fruit. Let the whole stand for some hours, then stir up from the bottom and serve with whipped cream. Cream Puffs. One cupful of water and one-half cupful of butter; boll together; while bolling stir in one cupful sifted flour; remove from fire and stir into a smooth paste. When cool add three unbeaten eggs, stirring five minutes. Drop in spoonfuls on buttered tins and bake in a quick oven 25 minutes. For cream take one cupful of milk, one-half cupful of sugar, one egg, three tablespoonfuls of flour, cook thoroughly and flavor. When the puffs are cold open and fill with cream. Preventing Disease The only way to prevent such diseases from spreading is for every child who has a cold, a cough or a sore throat or feels out of sorts to be very careful not to put in its mouth or to cough over or to handle anything which other children are to use. A child who is not absolutely well should be particularly careful to keep away from babies, because babies are so much more likely to suffer seriously if they catch disease. Jasmines. Jasmines belong to the same family as the olive, and number at least two hundred species, of which one-tenth, or twenty species, are for sale in the United States, though but one-fourth of these species may be had in local plant nurseries. The gem of the family is the primrose jasmine, or Jasminum primulum, which flowers during the winter months and with blossoms larger than any other species. Use for Broken Cups. Tecaucs with broken handles are very useful for poaching eggs. Butter the inside, break the egg into the cup and stand the cup in the frying pan half filled with water. It keeps the egg in good shape when poached, easy to slip on to toast and is cleaner than poaching in a frying pan.

What Well Dressed Women Will Wear With the coming of spring and summer the one-piece frock and the suit are destined to divide honors with the separate skirt and nifty blouse. Advance displays of their tried and true favorites of American women have been awarded the same keen interest as in previous years. What is more to the point, materials for making separate skirts of all kinds are selling briskly to those who attend to their skirt-making early. suspenders are made of linen and the bodice of batiste. There are many new models for the spring wardrobe of tiny maids. That are made of colored linen combined with white batiste or organdie or with white linen. Nearly all of them boast a pair of practical pockets, cut in many different shops, and nearly all of them have finishing touches in the way of a little handwrought needlework.

Cretone is available also in this class. Then there are the unusual woolens and silks, and several special weaves in silk for sports skirts. But the particularly interesting separate skirt just at this time is that one which the home dressmaker undertakes to make for herself in anticipation of her spring and summer time needs. The several cotton fabrics are shown in very attractive models; demonstrating the clever management of stripes, checks, and large crossbars in the materials. These skirts are fitted smoothly about the hips, and are mostly made habit-back. Many of them are plaited and nearly all of them are straight-hanging.

Leaving out of the reckoning color combinations evidently intended for sports wear, nearly all the cotton goods show white contrasted with quiet tones. There are as many figured patterns as stripes, and altogether colors are refined and attractive. It seems that the spring wardrobe is supposed to be provided with several separate skirts, and now is a good time to get them ready. In the picture a little dress of linen and batiste presents its good points clearly, for the consideration of interested mothers.

Black and White Shoes A pretty pair of house shoes seen recently were very trimly cut in --- suspenders are made of linen and the bodice of batiste. There are many new models for the spring wardrobe of tiny maids, that are made of colored linen combined with white batiste or organdle or with white linen. Nearly all of them boast a pain of practical pockets, cut in many different shops, and nearly all of them have finishing touches in the way of a little handwrought needlework. Small buttons, set close together, form an important item in their decoration. ```markdown ``` These little buttons are usually covered with the same material as the dress. In colors, rose, blue, light green, yellow, and light brown cover the range in linens. Heavy cottonies are used also and gingham shows no sign of losing favor. Any of the colors mentioned above may be found combined with white in narrow stripes. Needlework appears mostly in cross-stitch embroidery, in long, decorative stitches, and in easily made set figures composed of long stitches. Smocking, with colored threads, is a feature of the new styles, and when a little frock is smocked the collar and cuffs of organdie are usually finished with a bit of embroidery done in the same threads as the smocking. Pockets present inviting positions for needlework designs. Among the cleverest of these 1 are those shaped like sma., market baskets. They appeared on a pink linen dress and were decorated with two rows of stitches in black and white floss. In the dress pictured, a small design in cross stitch appears at each side of the belt, which is cut in one with the suspenders. It is of rose-colored linen, and the bodice of white hatte is prettified with rows of tucks and fastened with tiny pearl buttons.

The Between-Season. This between-season time is not marked by any radical change of fashion, so one must look to the smaller novelties for any variety. New fads are continually cropping up in small details like colors, bags, etc., so it is with such things that one is concerned. IN THE CRISIS OF BATTLE Awful Strain Upon the Nerves of Soldiers Before an Assault Is Made on Enemy. In modern warfare the ten minutes preceding an infantry attack hold for both sides the most intense strain human nerves can withstand. To crouch in shelters through hours of intense bombardment, to be fully conscious during that suspense of what is coming, and finally, when the shells are falling like halftones before the barrage is lifted further back, to wait for the appalling cry from the lookout: "Here they come;" all these experiences are likely to torture exceedingly and stupefy a defending force. But for the attacking soldier there is, perhaps, a more trying experience, writes a correspondent to the Globe Globe. The morning of the attack dawns and preparations are made. Yet the strain is not apparent. Only when the last buckle is fastened, the last bayonet fixed, and the sergeant major nods meaningly to the company commander, do the nerves tighten. Each man stands close against the parapet, burdened with his weighty equipment and grasping a rifle. Despite the clamor of guns, the awful silence of waiting inactive is unbearable. Here and there a man is nervously fingering the ammunition pouches on his belt, another with his eyes fixed on the trench wall, rans a trembling finger over the bayonet edge. There is no conversation except for an anxiious, whispered colloquy between two officers who are comparing watches. Then they, too, turn to face the sandbags, silent. You feel that something must snap unless you speak; but the man by your side is looking up at the airplane that swims high up in the blue sky. Madly and more madly shriek the shells. No enemy can be alive in those tortured trenches opposite; the dead lie in the trench bottoms, incarcerated and fantastically twisted. And now, you are hovering on the brink between the Knowable and the Unknowable. There is a hereafter—you are quite certain of that. It is wonderfully comforting. . . . The company commander is speaking, and his words seem strangely mundane and inconsequent; but their meaning penetrates to the material understanding. With a final, unbelievable crash, the shelling ceases. A whistle shrieks and the charge is on. New Grounds for Divorce There have recently been furnished by an English novelist new grounds for divorce, namely, "incompatibility of furniture." This is not so slight as it seems, for, though the day has gone by when a woman can torment her husband with the "tidy," "the lambrequin" and the "antimacassar," there are other means to the same end. There is, for instance, the futurist footstool—a small affair of gaudy that leers aggressively upward if he looks thoughtfully down; that has, if he should be wild enough to desire to rest his slipped foot upon it, a mass of hard, silk, would-be fruit sewed just where it will interfere on the top. Ever this footstool is placed where he will be sure to stumble over it in the dark. Then there is the hand-painted in oils Chinese bed of wood, or the photo of the mutual friend he can't endure, or for his dresser drawer the silk tie case she made him when she knows he likes to hang his tie up—but look around a little for yourself—and charity begins at home. Crazy Calculating. Edgar H. Bruton of Moultrie, Ga., who until recently regarded him as a mathematical genius, has consulted specialists in Athens to determine if he cannot stop calculating. He suffers from an aliment which he refers to as acute and chronic calculation, and as a result of which his head hurts, he talks constantly to himself and his nervousness increases daily. Mr. Bruton became so mathematical that he counted how many steps he took in any direction, how many times he opened and closed his eyes in a given time and how many strokes he took when shaving. At first he required 503 strokes of the razor to do the last mentioned performance, and when he cut the strokes down to 300 and whittled his chin down to nothing he began investigating himself with the aid of physicians. He now estimates that he will be cured by spring, during which time he will open and shut his eyes 18-978.978.678.987.654.567.658.493 times. Shucks! pedestrian on the Circle saw a glittering object on the sidewalk and stooped to pick it up. "Shucks!" he exclaimed as he examined the piece of jewelry he had found; "it isn't worth a dollar." "Well, what did you expect to find?" asked a passerby. "Oh, I was just commenting on my luck. I've found hundreds of things in the course of time, but nothing very valuable. I was hoping my luck would turn." The passerby, after taking a few steps toward the gutter, slipped a diamond ring off his finger, stooped and held up the ring, pretending to have found it. "What do you think of that?" said the astonished finder of things. "Say, mister, I'll give you a hundred for it." "Not for sale," and the passerby put the ring back on his finger and walked away.-Indianapolis News. Horses of the Corsacks That the Cossacks should have been the first of the Russians to win through by roads deemed impassable is no matter for surprise to anyone familiar with the Cossack's horse. He is small, with a short, thick head and neck and a sloping back, but what he lacks in size he makes up in sense. To weather and climate he is atlke indifferent, and does not miss a farm stable, because that is a luxury he never had. He will thrive where any other horse would starve, and relishes food that a goat would scorn. His rider will tether him on a snow-covered plain and he will get his own food by scraping aside the snow to get at the reindeer moss. And so dole is he that he will form a breastwork for his master to fire over, or cover incredible distances on the shortest of commons. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Were I in India, where "caste" prevails, I should hesitate to make these few suggestions, or even discuss the question; but in "free" America a boy doesn't have to build pots of mud because his father did, or sell these same mud pots because his father was a cheap pottery merchant, writes John L. Blount in a communication to the Houston (Tex.) Post. Here he can build his pots of gold if he wants; provided he has the "get up" and "hustle" to secure gold; or he can let "pots" alone entirely, and incidentally go into the kettle business; it's up to the boy. But the boy needs guidance, leading and encouragement; he must always have something to look forward to, something tangible—not in a fairy story—that he can set his mind on and work up to. We must confess that the Negro boy is slightly handicapped in this. Accomplished men of his race, whom he might emulate are few; deeds of skill and advances in science are fewer; such things seem "far away" to the colored boy simply because somebody else "did it," and yet we know him to be a good follower and an excellent manipulator. He needs encouragement. And then again opportunity, or rather the back of it, sometimes makes him forget, and you hear the disgusting, "Aw, what's the use?" It is for these things I'm pleading; First to the Negro father: Be somebody! Build good "pots," so that your boy can not only build pots too, but maybe go a step further and build his iron and set them to boiling. He And then to the nation; Give the Negro boy a chance to make himself a more useful citizen; he is a "link in the chain." Help and encourage him to build business houses, industrial plants and institutions; not so much of the literary kind, but institutions for active advancement. To quote from some of Houston's leading citizens in one of the Christmas issues of the Post: "If I were Santa Claus" I would bring to Houston and to South Texas an institution that would send out from its doors competent Negro carpenters and mason and plumbers and architects, to build better and more sanitary homes and public buildings; and to the various railroad shops and factories, qualified Negro blacksmiths, machinists and iron molders; and to the river-bottom farms and lowlands would send Negro farm experts and engineers to help in draining, irrating, reclaiming and cultivating our valuable farm lands; and last that would send out Negro teachers who could and would teach more in dusty and thrift, and set the Negro boy to thinking about that great combination, 'the hand and mind.' This institution would be no ordinary industrial school, but a vocational or technical trade school. This would be my gift if I were Santa Claus. Whether Negroes will be more likely to remain in the South if better educational facilities are provided them is a question apart from the undoubted wisdom of providing these facilities. President Edward T. Ware of Atlanta university, who is seeking to raise an endowment fund of five hundred thousand dollars for this institution, is reported as saying that if the Negroes are to remain in the South they must be educated. It is certain It has been said that General Armstrong would have been justified in founding Hampton institute had its only result been Booker T. Washington. He made his way to Hampton as a penniless, ragged and ignorant youth. Without friends, money or credentials, he was allowed, after an entrance examination which consisted in sweeping well one of the classrooms, to enter as a student, and was given the opportunity to work his way through the institute and to equip himself for founding the greatest institution ever conducted by the Negro race, and one of the greatest ever established by any race. Great as was Booker Washington's native genius, this he could never have done without the fundamental training in right living which he received at Hampton. Hampton not only equipped Booker Washington for the founding of Tuskegee and the eventual leadership of the Negro race in America, but it trained Major Moton to take up Washington's great task when he laid it down 14 months ago and to carry it forward without loss of momentum. Nor should the great work which Booker Washington did, nor the great In the Argentine republic if a man engaged to marry hesitates beyond a reasonable time in leading his fancee to the altar he is heavily fined, and if a resident of the republic should fail to marry he is taxed until he reaches the age of eighty. Experiments at the University of Washington, at Seattle, have resulted in the discovery of a process of distilling mill waste, by means of which tar, a light oil, acetate of lime and charcoal are obtained. No Incumbrance. A considerable commingling of social classes, writes a correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, occurs in our village, owing to the townfolk's practice of renting summer cottages among us, and living therein in neighborly fashion with the working people for whom the places were built. In one such case the resident from town was an unmarried lady; the genuine cottager next door had a husband who, to put it mildly, was no blessing to her. Making a friendly call one day, the that as the idea of the advantages of education grows among the Negroes the tendency will be to leave the South if educational facilities are more nearly adequate and more readily available elsewhere. But it is also to be remembered that as education of the blacks progresses there will also be an increasing inclination to gain larger advantages of occupation. The South is developing rapidly in the magnitude and range of its industries, and there will be great need of labor—a need as acute, if not more so, than now, when the Negro exodus is proving economically serious. But it is not clear whether a higher degree of education among the Negroes will find the latter willing to accept a continuance of the present sharp line drawn in the South between the races in all activities of life. Increase a man's education and, no matter what his color, he will be less content to be held down to a low social and business status and to a sharp definition of relationship with others of the human race. This is of course, not an argument against the education of the Negro; it is simply calling attention to a situation which may possibly arise. It is our belief that in education lies the solution of the Negro problem, but solution of the problem for the South will not likely come through increased contentment to the Negro because of better local educational advantages. It will come for the South rather through an infiltration of foreign labor into the region which will have the effect of making the South more independent of Negro labor and tend, together with the spirit of ambition promoted by education, to distribute the Negro population throughout the country.—Financial America. Adam Manuel, a Creek freedman died in Colorado recently, and already there is a race on among some of the residents of Muskogee county to get the appointment of guardian for his children. There are five of the children living and the elder Manuel inherited the allotments of two who are dead, but the guardianship is sought because of Luther Manuel, a minor son, who is believed to be the richest Negro boy in the world. When the allotments were made for the Manuel family, says the Beamontum (Tex.) Enterprise, those of Luther, thirteen, and Eafield, his younger brother, were in a locality where the land was worthless for farming purposes. Their father complained that the land was valueless, but he was unable to have any change made. It turned out that the allotment of Luther, believed to be worthless, was in the heart of the Cushing oil field. Since that field was developed nearly six years ago, his income from it amounted to from $20,000 to $24,000 a month. The allotment of Rafield Manuel is not so valuable. The allotments of the other children are good for agricultural purposes only. Sarah Rector has been considered the most fortunate of all those among the Creek freedmen who took allotments in that section of country, but her fortune is far less than that of Luther Manuel. For a time, when the Cushing oil field was at its best, or for more than two years, his income was $1,000 a day. Gasoline motors make ready sales in Cuba. Richard Belt has completed a bust of Lord Kitchener. work which Major Moton is doing, lead us to overlook the splendid achievements of the thousands of Hampton graduates, who have done and are doing in every part of America' work as fine and as useful, if less far-reaching and distinguished. It is little realized to what extent real education in distinction from mere book learning is due to the leadership of Hampton and Tuskegee. The idea that education is something from within, is the development of character, is preparation for right living, has been by these two schools more powerfully impressed upon educational thought than by any or all the other institutions of the country combined. A superintendent of schools of Boston once said at Tuskegee: "You are doing here what we in the North are merely talking about." Many another leading educator has paid the same tribute to Hampton and Tuskegee, either in words or through emulation of their methods. A centennial exposition is to be held in Gulfport, Miss., in December, 1917. Uruguay has prohibited the manufacture or importation of alcoholic beverages of strength exceeding 45 degrees.

The versatile Senator Reed who only a week ago was in bad with the temperance people because of certain insinuations against Kansas tipplers has more than made good with his pouting contingents by putting through a "bone dry" amendment to the postal appropriations bill. Even if it is true, as asserted in some quarters, that the efficiency of the colored schools is lower than the white schools, does it necessarily fol low that the colored schools are wholly to blame? May not some of the discredit be due those supervising the directing officials who give so grudgingly of their time toward the betterment of the work which they so openly depreciate? It is not the open cabaret or the sa lon—we repeat—but the beer-selling and room-renting apartments scattered all over the city which are dealing the death blow to the morals of the younger class of our people.

Harlan was reared and educated in this city and is a product of Garrison school. He was a brotherly brother, a devoted son and overly generous with friends. During his young manhood he professed Christ and joined Mt. Zion Baptist church; he was at all times a staunch supper of religious advancement and oftimes when opportunities presented themselves, he did much for a fallen brother. Harlan's memory will ever be cheerished by those that knew him and his happy disposition. His big broad smile will ever remain as a part of his blessed memory. Hence we console ourselves by be lieving that. Something must die. HERBERT BEACHE. In loving memory of our dear hus band and father, William Page, Sr. who passed away February 19, 1908.

HAPPENINGS of the week IN MISSOURI Frederick Kolb, salesman for the Louis Brewing Company of St. Louis, was robbed of $1,100 payroll money just after he had drawn the funds from the bank. The thief escaped. William Beck, 28 years old, a painter, was killed and two other occupants of a car driven by G. L. Bageuss were hurt when the car went over an embankment near Joplin. Bageuss attempted to pass another car when his machine skidded. . . . There has been great damage done to the wheat crop of southwest Missouri, according to reports of farmers in that section, who declare that the worst drought prevails there since 1888. Unless relief comes soon, it is predicted that the crop will be an entire failure. There has been little precipitation in that part of the state since last June. Hydro-electric power plants were forced to close down several months ago and towns supplied by them forced to revert to their old steam plants. Some farmers already are planning to turn under their wheat unless there is rain soon and plant to quick-growing vegetables when the spring rains come. --- Word was received at Marshall of the death at Excelsior Springs of Patrick J. Green, a lumber merchant of Marshall. He was born in St. Louis in 1864 and went to Marshall in 1912 from Girard, Kas. Dr. John W. Withers, president of the Teachers' college, a part of the St. Louis school system, has been elected superintendent of the city schools to succeed the late Ben Blewett. --- The Rev. Newton Cater Epps, 77 years old, a Baptist minister who had carried on work in the Ozarks for fifty-five years, died suddenly at a railway station at Springfield the other night. He had been in ill health for some time and had come from his home in Howell county to visit a son. ☆ ☆ ☆ William Booker, a Frisco brakeman of Springfield, was crushed to death at Lebanon recently while coupling cars.

L. Babcock that a municipal coal market be established. Attacked by a wildcat while hunting oppossums south of Marshall, Levy Bellingsly, an old fox hunter, killed the animal with an ax. The catamount was treed by the dogs and routed two of them while the possum hunters were attempting to dislodge it with poles. The animal weighed fifty pounds. By an agreement a trustee has been appointed for Thomas W. Cunningham, aged banker, who was brought from Chicago recently and since has been held by the sheriff at Joplin pending a sanity hearing. A deed of trust conveying all his property to the trustee was signed by Cunningham and agreed to by his attorneys and the citizens who organized to prevent the dissipation of Cunningham's estate. The insanity proceedings will be withdrawn. In awarding $6,000 damages to William Savignac, son and heir of Albert Savignac, who was shot and killed while picketing the John O'Brien Boiler Works here during a strike in October, 1915, the circuit court laid down the rule that employers are liable for any injury their employees may inflict on pickets. Fire of an unknown origin recently at Richmond caused a loss of $6,000.

G. Chapman.) "Who is that—one of the working girls?" "Oh, no; that's a daughter of the Professor." "And who is the Professor?" inquired Adrian Deane. He had slowed up his gait, his head turned to take another glance at the trim, neat, gritish figure whom he and his superintendent had just passed. The latter had lifted his hat and Deane, always the courteous gentleman, had followed his example. There was something to admire in the expressive face of the young lady and to command respect, and this Deane felt intuitively. Deane had inherited the big plant of which he was owner from his father. He and his superintendent were approaching it when "the daughter of the Professor" came into sight. "The Professor?" repeated Deane. "Why, you ought to remember him, Mr. Deane. He is the refined old gentleman who came to town about two months ago, evidently a man who has seen better days. I hear he once was at the head of a large musical college in the city. He started in here to form a class, but did not succeed. He applied for a position in the plant. He is too frail and aged to stand hard work. I brought the matter to your attention and you suggested employing him as a watchman. He has filled that place since then." "I think I recall the circumstances now," nodded Deane. "Professor Bartell, wasn't it?" "Yes, and that's Ruth Bartell we just passed." "She seemed to come through the big gateway," observed Deane. "Perhaps on a mission of kindliness to some of the women workers." suggested the superintendent. "She has, I know, done many acts of char- ity, such as nursing those in distress. A "I've Got You Where I want You at Last." It hasn't been money service, for I fancy the Wardells haven't much of that commodity." "She is a very attractive looking girl," observed Deane, and apparently passed the incident by as a casual occurrence of no further interest. The superintendent did not know his employer, however. While Adrian Deane was a practical young business man and absorbed in the duties at the plant, there was a streak of romantics in his nature. Something in the sweet face of the Professor's daughter had stirred a responding chord in his nature. There was a purity, a sweetness about the lovely face that seemed to rest his soul vividly, in contrast with the trivial-minded belies of society he knew and the coarse, slatternly factory girls. There was a stirring incident at the plant that day that caused quite some commotion. A man named Turley, a quarrelsome, trouble-making fellow who had at his behest a group of town idlers, had been discharged for insubordination and drunkenness. In full fighting trim and uglier than ever as to temper, he had cowed the office employees and had penetrated to the private room of Mr. Deane. Once there, Turley began an abusive tirade, was ordered out, refused to obey, and his stalwart young employer opened a window and dropped him over the sill to the ground, eight feet below. Turley staggered away, breathing vengeance. That afternoon the superintendent of the works came to Deane with a serious face. "I do not wish to alarm you, Mr. Deane," he said, "but some of my men tell me that Turley is making some very desperate threats." "He must keep away from the plant, I shall have him arrested," said Deane. "I hope you will use caution, sir," advised the superintendent gravely "Turley is a dangerous man and when drunk is a perfect demon. I would go armed if I were you, sir." Two days passed by and there was no echo of significance from the threats of Turley. One day he hurched past Deane on the public street, and glared at him and hissed out a curse between his set lips, but Deane paid no attention to him. Two evenings after that Deane started on a stroll, and recalling some figuring that had to be done by himself on a large contract, decided he would put in a couple of hours at his office. He let himself into the building with a key he always carried with him. In the corridor leading to the offices he passed the familiar form of the watchman enveloped in his long coat and deep vizcared cap, nodded in a friendly way and was soon immersed in work at his desk in the inner office. "I've got you where I want you at last," spoke a sudden voice less than half an hour later, and Deane turned from his desk to discover Turley. In the face and manner of the uninvited visitor there was that which warned Deane that his mission was a deadly one. Turley had in his hand a long unsheated knife. He had confronted Deane so quickly that he could strike or leap upon him in a flash before he could get to his feet. Deane regarded his unwelcome visitor coily, "What are you doing here?" he asked. "You!" hissed the malevolent scoundrel—"you, first and last—and it's now, now! You sent me adrift, you threw me out of the plant. I swore to get even and—here goes." The villain made a forward lurch. There was a scream. Its strangeness stirred Deane almost as much as had the appearance of his assailant. Then new wonder was added as the watchman came through the open doorway, and, throwing both arms about Turley, caused the knife he held to fall to the floor. Deane caught a fleeting glimpse of a red bedabbled hand under the watchman garb, and he sprang to his feet as an agitated voice spoke out breathlessly. "Sound the alarm!" Deane reached the button near at hand. Turley looked down the barrel of a gleaming revolver. The hand that held it shook, but Turley stood at bay. Clang! clang! clang! rang out the strident peal that would soon bring half a thousand workmen to the scene, assigning fire or riot as the cause of the alarm. Half a dozen men rushed into the room a few minutes later. They seized Turley at the direction of Dene. The office cleared. Dene turned towards the watchman. "You've done me the service of my life," he began earnestly, and paused in amaze. For his valiant rescuer had gone down to the floor and lay there inert. The shadowing cap fell away and there was Ruth, the professor's daughter. He lifted her in his arms and placed her in a chair. He felt a conscious tinge of unfairness as he thrilled with pleasure while chafing the nerveless hands of the beautiful girl. More than ever was he drawn closer to the brave creature who had saved his life. He wrapped her bleeding hand, cut by the knife, in his own handkerchief and stood before her respectful and grateful as she opened her eyes. Ruth flushed in embarrassment. Her eyes drooped. She shrank timidly, "I am sorry," she murmured, "but my father was ill. We so need the money." "And but for that, what might have happened to me!" he spoke, scarce able to control the impulse to take her in his arms and tell how he loved her. Which came about later, for never were two true loving souls more completely mated. RECEIPTS DIVIDED PRO RATA Peculiar System of Remuneration for Members of the New York Philharmonic Society. In New York they recently celebrated the seventy-fifth anniversary of the oldest symphony orchestra in America. Some interesting financial chapters in its history have been brought to light. Members of the Philharmonic society, says the New York Tribune, used long ago to divide the receipts pro rata, the conductor being rewarded by a certain number of shares of the earnings. Mr. Thomas, in the hey-day of the society's success, was content with nine shares, and so, we believe, was Mr. Seidl, who succeeded him. The shares were as low as $17.50 in the seventh season, and if a member was pretreated from playing, the fee for his substitute was deducted from his share. It therefore sometimes happened that a member would find that fines for nonattendance and the cost of substitutes had eaten up all his dividend and left him debtor to the society. The dividend table shows high water mark to have been reached in the fifty-fourth season, when each member received $264 for his services in playing at six evening concerts and six afternoon public rehearsals, as they were called. The figure rose to $326.16 in the sixty-third season, in which, however, the regular number of concerts was eight, with the same number of preceding afternoons. The quint old system ended with the death of Anton Seidl. Adding Insult to Injury Old John Gargoyle lived only for his garden. It was to him what a growing son is to other men. At the end of it stood a telephone post, and the other morning Gargoyle watched with feelings of horror a telephone mechanic climb his back wall. He descended into the garden, bringing with him a dozen loose bricks, and fell full length into a bed of sweet peas. He picked himself up, dragged a heavy ladder across a patch of lettuce and dropped it into a cucumber frame. Then he took a short cut, in his hohonailed boots, across some vacant beds where many precious bulbs were interred. Finally, after slipping over a clump of priceless roses, he appeared under the dining room window, where Gargoyle stood in speechless fury. "Scuse me, sir," he remarked, "but the telephone people are very particular about us trespassing on private ground where we have fixtures. Can I have permission to enter your garden, sir?" Wise Farmer. A farmer, being at the point of death, called his sons to his bedside and said: "There is a great treasure hid in one of my vineyards." The sons, after his death, carefully dig over every portion of their land. They found no treasure, but the vines repaid their labor by an extraordinary and superabundant crop. —Eson's Fables. THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1917 CONSTRUCTION OF DAIRY HOUSE Most dairymen realize that in order to produce milk or cream of the best quality it is desirable to have a dairy house so constructed and equipped that the products may be cared for in the most convenient and satisfactory manner. It is impossible to draw a plan of a dairy house that will meet the requirements of every individual case. In order to design a plan properly, it is necessary to know the size of the herd, how the product is to be disposed of (whether as whole milk, cream, or butter), the location of the barn, well, etc. However, there are a few general principles that should be followed in the building of any dairy house. Location.—Although the dairy house should be near enough to the barn to be convenient, it should not be directly connected with the barn because it is then likely to be filled with stable odors which are absorbed by the milk or cream. It is well to leave an open air space of six to ten feet between the barn and the dairy house. Placing the dairy house on the side of the barn opposite the barnyard also lessens the chance of stable odors being absorbed by the milk. Proper drainage from the dairy house is important and must be considered when selecting the location. Construction.—The building material may be drop siding, brick, or concrete, depending upon the investment the builder desires to make. The inside walls should be smooth. Plastered walls are preferable since board walls have a tendency to rot, especially close to the floor. Rotting can be obviated to a certain extent by plastering the walls up to a height of about three feet. The building should be so partitioned that the milk room, wash room, and boiler room are separate. The rooms should be well lighted by windows, and ventilation should be supplied by an opening placed in the ceiling of each room. Each ventilator should be fitted with some sort of damper to regulate its action. A solid and impervious floor is essential. A cement floor meets these. 'LE BUNGER' ZOOM PAN PLASTER 2' INSULATION 4' CONCRETE 2' INSULATION CORTED WITH PITCH FLEACTION OR REINFORCEMENT requirements very well. A wooden floor is very unsatisfactory because it is not durable, does not dry quickly, collects filth, and when wet is slippery and hard to work on. The floors should have a good slope leading to drains fitted with proper traps. Water Supply—An abundance of clean, cold, running water is necessary. If the location is such that water from a municipal water system cannot be supplied, it may be obtained from an elevated tank or by means of a compressed air system. Equipment—The dairy house equipment depends largely upon the purpose for which the house is to be used. A boiler is the most convenient means of furnishing steam and hot water for washing and sterilizing cans and utensils. An upright boiler of two to four horse power will serve the purpose. The washroom should contain a sink having a drain board. The drain board may be fitted with steam and water connections so that the cans and pails can be rinsed and steamed after they are washed. It is desirable to have draining racks for cans and pails, and a closet in which to keep utensils. Every dairy house should have a Babcock milk testing outfit, which may be either hand or steam driven.

The illustrations shown are designed for dairies with as many as twenty-five cows in the herd. For larger herds it may be necessary to build a dairy house having larger dimensions than those submitted. If it is not intended to have the dairy house fitted with a boiler room and a washroom it may be made smaller than suggested by eliminating that part of the building devoted to such rooms. Dalry House for Selling Whole Milk in Bulk The milkroom should contain a coli cooler for cooling the milk as quickly as possible after it is drawn. The milk may then be put into eight or ten gallon cans and set in the cooling tank, or the preliminary cooling may be omitted and the cans of warm milk placed in the cooling tank. The cooling tank may be fitted with water connections so that the milk can be kept cold by running water, or the tank may be insulated and fitted with a lid so that ice may be placed in the cooling water. The latter is not necessary if there is a good supply of cold water which will keep the milk at a temperature below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. A hand-separator may be installed in place of the necessity of skimming milk pulps. Dairy House for Selling Cream or Making Butter. Selling cream necessitates the use of a centrifugal separator and a cooling tank or refrigerator. Making butter requires the additional equipment of a churn, and a table upon which to print and wrap the butter. The cooling tank may be built of a size depending on the amount of material to be kept cool. The cream should be cooled directly after skimming and kept cool until it is delivered or ripened for churning, as the case may be. A gasoline engine may be installed in the washroom to furnish power for separating and churning. If such an engine is used, the exhaust should be piped through the roof of the building in 'order to avoid the possibility of the gasoline flavor being absorbed by the cream. Dairy House for Bottling Milk. For bottling milk on the farm the dairy house should be larger and contain more equipment than is required for the two above-mentioned purposes. A double-compartment sink is convenient for washing and rinsing bottles. There should be a sterilizer for sterilizing all bottles before they are filled. This may be used also to sterilize the milk pails, cooler and the bottler. The sterilizer may be constructed of hollow tile glazed with cement plaster, or of heavy galvanized sheet iron reinforced with angle iron. A drain should be placed in the floor of the sterilizer and a ventilator with a tight-fitting damper in the ceiling. Shelves may be arranged so that they will hold the bottles in an inverted position, or, if cases of the proper kind are used, the bottles can be put into MILK ROOM 6'10" X 6'10" BATH CABIN GARDEN BEDROOM BATHROOM GARDEN BEDROOM 20'0" Prince Edward island has shipped about $4,000 worth of blueberry pie stock to American caterers this season.

It is necessary to allow the bottles to cool before filling with the cold milk in order to prevent breakage, as well as to avoid warming the milk. A bottling table or small bottler may be used in bottling the milk. A well-constructed refrigerator is necessary for storing the bottled milk until it is delivered. In constructing a refrigerator, proper insulation is extremely important in order to maintain a low temperature and to use ice economically. Either cork board or water-proof lath makes a very efficient insulation. These materials can be obtained in sheets 12 inches wide, 36 inches long and 2 inches thick. These sheets can be applied in the same way as lumber, and hence are very convenient to use. A refrigerator for storing milk, if built on the ground, should have the floor insulated with two inches of this material and the walls and ceiling with four inches.

There is soon to be established in New York the first diagnostic hospital in this country, which will perform in the highly specialized medicine of today the function of the old family physician of 50 years ago, says the New York Times. It will look over a patient suffering from an unidentified alliment find out what is the matter with him and direct him to a specialist if he can afford it. If not, he will be sent back to the general practitioner under whose care he has been, with a complete diagnosis of his disease, a plan for treating it suggested by competent specialists, and references to recent literature on the subject. The officers of the New York Diagnostic society, which is planning the new institution, are Dr. M. Joseph Mandelbaum, president; Dr. De Witt Steten, first vice president; Dr. Otto Hensel, second vice president; Dr. Julius Auerbach, treasurer; Dr. Mouroe Kunstler, secretary. There are about 300 physicians and surgeons among the associate members. About $100,000 has already been raised by the building fund committee, of which David Frankel is chairman, and only $50,000 is still required to complete the sum needed for buildings and grounds, which will be in a central part of Manhattan. It is hoped that the institution will be self-supporting, and Doctor Mandelbaum has worked out a plan of installment payments which he thinks will bring about the result. "I know this will appear startling," he said, "to those who are not in the habit of looking at these matters from the standpoint of dollars and cents. But this is a practical plan and therefore must be considered from the most easily applied financial basis. This method of payment will be especially for those who Railroads regard the gardens around their stations as an important feature. Japan has a goldfish farm that has been in continuous operation since 1768. Should the automobile top become dusty, use a stiff brush. To remove mud spots or oil, use water and castile soap. Electrolized sea water is now made use of on English naval vessels for the purpose of cleansing the ship. This does the work in a sanitary manner. sulation it is best to use two layers and break the joints in each direction. A slush coat of cement plaster should be put in between the two layers and the outside, covered with cement plaster. The doors should be tight-fitting and well-insulated. The ice bunker should be placed in the upper part of the refrigerator and the air shafts should be so constructed as to obtain a good circulation of air. The illustration shows the proper method of insulating a refrigerator and also the construction necessary to give the proper circulation of air. The milkroom should have some sort of cooler for cooling the milk rapidly to a temperature below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. As the milk is put into the cooler supply can it may be strained through cotton outing flannel or through absorbent cotton held between cheesecloths. A separator should be installed also for skimming surplus milk or to supply cream for the cream trade. are wage earners, whereby if their application for diagnostic services is approved by their employers or others equally responsible, a method of small periodic payments will secure for them the very best diagnostic skill." The need for such an institution was first pointed out by Dr. Charles H. Mayo in an address before the Catholic Hospital association of Milwaukee. Doctor Mayo expressed the opinion that the one great present day need in the direction of hospital advancement was a hospital devoted exclusively to diagnosis. Pattens. Americans find it more difficult than the English to understand what Dickens means when he says in "David Copperfield:" "Women went clicking along the pavement in patterns." Patterns were an abbreviated form of stilts. The word is also used by builders as the name of the base of a column or pillar, and so, architecturally, the pattern is the support used by a woman to keep her out of the water and mud. From this architectural use has come the secondary application of the word, meaning an arrangement attached to the shoe, so that the walker is raised three or four inches above the solid earth. If the mud and water did not exceed that depth, the shoes were thus kept fairly dry. It appears that patterns were not worn solely by the rich, but were luxuries indulged in by the very poor. In speaking of a person who was not especially speedy, Ben Jonson uses the comparison, "You make no more haste now than a beggar upon patterns." In the ballad of "Farmer's Old Wife" occurs this startling expression "She up with her patterns, and beet out their brains." Altogether Different. There are lots of smart people in the world, but smartness isn't always intelligence. Smartness is something a fellow may have to show. Intelligence is something everybody can see. Skeptical.

"Philosophers and sneak thieves are allike in one respect." "What is that?" "They both take an abstract view of things." Home Town Helps Many Varieties, However, Are Well Able to Withstand Conditions Found in Many Cities. The death of many trees in the streets and parks of New York, usually ascribed to poor soil or parasites, is largely due to atmospheric conditions, according to the eminent Massachusetts botanist, George E. Stone. In an article in the journal of the New York Botanical garden he says that there are to be found obstacles greater than in other cities to the successful establishments surrounding Manhattan (New Jersey is not particularly mentioned) sulphur dioxide and other poisons rise, only to fall again upon our poor trees. The victim's malady is chronic rather than acute. Its vitality is weakened and then the parasite ends it. Mr. Stone declares that with the exception of the Austrian pine "practically all the confiers in Central park are dying from the effects of atmospheric gases, and it is rarely that one observes a Norway spruce anywhere within the vicinity of New York that is not either dead or in a state of deterioration." The botanist believes that it is impractical to continue planting confiers here. Elms, too, are a comparatively easy victim to gases. The effects of the poison are visible in Riverside drive and in Central park. But, as Professor Stone remarks, many of the elms were deplorable specimens to begin with; not such fine types as are growing in the Bronx. The trees that best withstand gas poison are the Norway maple, black locust, allanthus and linden.—New York Sun. FLOWER HOLDERS IN WALL Unusual Ornamentation That Improves the Looks of Surroundings of House in California. Flower containers, which are unusual in appearance and striking because of the contrast which they present to their surroundings, have been built into the center of each of three sections of a smooth brick wall in front of a Los Angeles residence. The wall is surmounted by an ornamental iron fence except at the points where the flower holders stand. Each container consists of rough, irregular masses resembling slag, which are cemented together into a symmetrical shape; each holder stands about three and one-half feet high, is a foot or a little more in diameter at the base, and three feet wide at the top.—Popular Mechanics Magazine. Man's Duty to His Community The man who makes money in a community has a duty to perform to that community. It may be that he has made his money by his superior business ability, and that he would have done as well anywhere. That does not alter the case. If his gifts are great his responsibility is equally as great. No man was placed on earth for the sole purpose of making money, and the man who has this as his ideal had better never have been born. It is not an act of charity, but the performance of a simple duty, for the man who has made money to pass a little of it on for the benefit of the community, even though he never expects to see a dollar of his contribution back.—New Canaan (Conn.) Advertiser. City Managers Proved There are now 40 municipal officials in the United States who are styled "city managers," under the new commission-manager form of government. They are the professional chief executives of their respective municipalities, each with appointive power over the city's entire administrative establishment. They are not popularly elected, but hired for reason of fitness and for an indefinite tenure by a small elected commission of five local men. Generally speaking, three years of trial in a variety of towns have proved that the new plan furnishes a battleground for democracy that makes the unmobilized citizenry unusually effective while the opportunity for expert administration which it offers is usually grasped. They Have City Managers Twenty-two American cities are now under the commission manager plan. They are Niagara Falls, N. Y.; Sumter, S. C.; Hickory, N. C.; Morgantown, N. C.; Ashtabula, O.; Sandusky, O.; Dayton, O.; Springfield, O.; Phoenix, Ariz.; Big Rapids, Mich.; LaGrande, Ore.; Taylor, Tex.; Denton Tex.; Amarillo, Tex.; Manistee, Mich. Jackson, Mich.; Abilene, Kan.; Collinville, Okla.; Montrose, Col.; Morris, Min.; Lakeland, Fla., and Akhambra, Cal. Perfect Garden. The perfect garden, from the plant and flower point of view is one where flowers may be picked each and every day of the year, yet where no spot of bare soil is ever seen. Keep reserve stock of annuals and perennials on hand so that when an annual has spent its strength or a plant dies its space may be filled with a young annual or a perennial. Human Cruelty. "I heard a woman—she was young, too, and did not look hardened—beging earnestly, pleadingly, for one more chance, and she could not find one to give it to her." "Was she a first offender?" "No; she was a charity worker at a church bazaar raffic." An Instance. He—I suppose you think yourself one of those perfect women who never did a foolish thing in their lives. She—Oh, sure I did. I married you. Most verbal appeals fall down because people are indifferent to them. Inattention becomes a habit, in one car and out the other. The very existence of the phrase proves the point. Visual impressions get there and stick. MOON BROS'. Live and Dressed Poultry, fresh from the country, can give you the impression through the eye that stick. If you see for yourself, you are sure to become a customer. S, GEESE, DUCKS, HENS NE GRAND 3765 for SPECIAL PRICES 55 East Eighteenth Street SAFE--------1223 BALTIMORE AVE.

O'Brien's Famous Georgia Minstrels wishes to announce that on Saturday morning at 6:15 an eight-pound baby girl was born to him and his wife Mother and daughter are both doing nicely at the home in Gallatin, Mo. has been printed concerning the ex-patriated ex-champion of the world. We have reference to the Colored man dithered by Jess Willard in Havanna not quite two years ago. But recently word has come from him. He is at present in Barcelona engaged in an information bureau where English speaking tourists and other travelers seek their desires. But he wants to fight, and because of his inclination he has written George Lawrence, the manager of Sam McVea, to send his black beauty to Spain to do battle. It is also asserted an American now in that country will supply the necessary funds to finance the bout. "BILLY" LEWIS, DEAD. Louisville, Ky., Feb. 15.

He had lived in Louisville all his life and for years was a partner in business with M. A. Tayloe. HAMPTON 23—LINCOLN 22. By Lawrence A. Lee. ANNACONDA, MONTANA 'CALCINE CINDERS.' Hampton, Va. Feb. 15.—The Hampton Institute basket ball team proved its superiority to the Orange and Blue squad of Lincoln University by defeating them by the margin of one point. Lincoln outplayed the Blue and White machine in the first half, but the latter half proved fatal to the visitors. There seems to be an exodus of the floating element of Helena, into Anaconda. For the past week or more several persons have landed here. The citizens of Anaconda, extend a hearty welcome to all men and women who are worthy and are in search of employment. To such we will lend our aid and use our influence in their behalf. But to the indolent and lazy class we emphatically denounce them YOUNG GANS STOPPED DUDLEY IN 14 ROUNDS. The Old Turner Hall Athletic club got off to a fine start last night, when they dished out one of the most attractive cards of black battlers ever seen in this city. ...We were visited last week by a delegation of Legislators of the 15th Assembly of the state capital, at Helena. The gentlemen were taken on a sight seeing tour and expressed great surprise at the grandeur of our city, and the magnitude of the A. C. M. Co. 'Smelting and Reduction Works...L. C. Brown had one of his feet badly crushed some weeks ago in the discharge of his duties as a brakeman on the Calcine line but is back on the job abain...Mr. and Mrs. Green (newly) are at home to their friends 618 Cherry St...Mr. Bernice Dorsey and Geo.

Her winsome ways and sunshine smiles add to her charms and trade...Mrs. W. J. Brown has an excellent boarding house at No. 4 Oak Street. In the main event Young Joe Gans who claims the Colored lightweight championship, stopped Young Dudley of Omaha in the fourteenth round. Dudley's seconds threw in a sponge when the Omaha black was being beaten all over the ring. It was a sensational scrap for the full distance. Another winner on the card was Young Mitchell over Benny Banks, while the first preliminary was a draw. Spike Kennedy was the referee. The management announced its next card for next Wednesday night. Young McCullough, featherweight knockout artist, who claims the championship in that division, will pit his punch against "Yellow," a well known Negro pusillist from the East. This will be the main event. EXPATRIATED CHAMP SEEKS BATTLE WITH MR. McVEA. It's a long time since a single word Quinoleum Is Queen THE FILM MAKER Take One Pain Pill, then-- Take it Easy.
