"T.R."COMESTODAY READ STARKS ON "THE NEGRO SOLDIER" THE RECENT INDUSTRIAL STRIKES AND THE NEGRO Do You Know That Advertising is the Life of Trade and the Only Real Business Getter VOLUME X. NUMBER 4. READ THE RECENT INDU STRIKES AN Within the past two weeks hundreds of men, women, boys and girls have paraded the streets as strikers, yelling seemingly for the sake of yelling, protesting against their employers and demanding that their union and its principles form a part of their employment contract. In these parades, especially those of the packing house employees, were many. Negroes who were also yelling but who looked, in spite of their yells, as if they felt out of place and the onlookers thought so, 100. There is oftentimes some unwritten history about public affairs and in the case of the Cudahy Packing House strike it was gleaned from inside source that the trouble started because a large number of Negro women and girls were recently employed there and the MR. JOSEPH A. WILSON, Kansas City's pioneer Negro jeweler and a scholar of splendid attainments. foreign white girls objected to working at the same bench with them and complained because the Negro girls on account of their strength worked faster than the white girls and made more money. The foreign girls struck, the men went out with them and it is the common opinion that one of the objects of the strikers demand that their union be recognized was their THEY SING WHILE THEY WORK. A gang of men were working on the railroad out in the suburbs of the city—fifty or more of them performing the heaviest kind of work in the hot sun. They were of about equal numbers as regards color—twenty-five of them white and the balance Negroes. The whites spoke seldom. They went about their work sullenly, it seemed. Certainly they were not cheerful. But with the blacks it was different. They bantered each other, and seemed as cheerful as a lot of school boys on their vacation. They sang as they toiled—which was the secret of their cheerfulness. No race could have withstood what the Negro has passed through if it did not sing. We would not be getting along with any other race so well, if it had twelve million members occupying the lowly position which the majority of the Negroes now occupy, if the lowly fellows did not sing. Or, to put it differently, these millions of Negroes who now are with us, doing much of our hard work for small pay and living under conditions that are not the best, would be causing us a great deal more trouble but for the melody that is in them. The Negro is the most cheerful individual on earth, and the most musical. Slavery could not or did not crush his spirit; toil has not robbed him of his melody; discrimination upon the part of a dominant race has not soured his disposition, because he sings while he works.—Columbus Dispatch. Scalp and Hair Treatment or Plain Sewing. Children's Clothes a specialty. Mrs. S. W. Jarrett, 2440 Euclid avenue. The Kansas City Sun hope to oust the Negroes from the good jobs. The Armour strike was said to be wholly unwarranted and it was largely the ignorant foreign employees with a small vicious native element that went out. The strike was a surprise to many because the Armour policy has been very liberal to its employees, and one thing certainly can be said of this house, it has always given the black house a square deal. Many a Negro who has spent years in the service of this house is now drawing a pension and living the remainder of his days out of want. A large number of Negro women and girls are also employed at this house some of whom are doing light work and making good wages. On one occasion several hundred strikers threatened to rush the gates and drive out and beat up the employees who refused to strike. Some of the loyal black men were given weapons of defense to guard the doors. These black boys entered fully into the warlike spirit and after addressing the advance guard of the "hunkie" strikers in language suitable to the occasion, invited them to come on so they could shoot h——1 out of them. Nothing happened. During the strike the employees were served a dinner. No different fare, no separate seats. After the settlement the employees, black and white, men and women, received a letter thanking them for their loyalty and each letter contained a check for $10. New history has been made for this house by giving faithful Negroes responsible jobs as watchmen. One Negro, after viewing this check and letter, said the only way the strikers would be able to get him out of Armours' would be to take him out dead. The trend of events' which we cannot always forsee and the power of destiny over which we have no control seems to be giving the Negro an important industrial footing not only in the Southland but all over this country. It will be wise for him to secure a firm and permanent foothold. It is well that he discuss intelligently what relation he should sustain to the industrial strikes of other races so as to see whether his action in the matter will make him win or lose. Some one in authority and competent is needed to advise him. Who can, who will? "SEEING THINGS." The final argument (?) of a champion of the south in the saddle, mobeciacy is the hypocritical cry about "social equality." There is no such thing as social equality, not even among white people. A parishioner, once in a great alarm of wind, went to the priest and told him he had repeatedly seen a spectre. He was asked what shape or form the ghost assumed. The simple-minded parishioner replied that it bore the form of an ass. Then, go thy way, said the priest, for you have only seen your own shadow. So it is with the southern democratic asses, alarmed by the bugaboo of social equality. It is a case of seeing their own shadow. COLORED HOME GUARD ORGA-NIZED. Captain Charles Taylor, 74 years old, Civil War veteran, who advocated a Colored home guard for Leavenworth, is president of the guard which was organized last night at Benevolent hall on Cherokee street, in the record time of eight minutes. Dr. C. M. Moates was made surgeon of the new organization. Ralph Rowlett, well known Colored poet, will act as recorder and Joseph Henderson was appointed treasurer. DR. GEORGE W. CABANISS WITH CARDINA! GIBRONS. His Eminence, James Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, cordially received Dr. George W. Cabaniss, September 5, at his home in Baltimore for an extended interview concerningn the Camp for training colored officers at Fort Des Moines, la., and other important matters affecting the race. Dr. Cabaniss returned to Iowa last week. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1917. WHAT WILL THEY DO WITH US? By Chas. A. Starks. There is a question concerning us; right now, which seems to give some people much concern. It is not whether the Negro is loyal or not but rather how far will the powers that be make use of our unsophisticated patriotism. Granting that our Government loves us (as step children if nothing else); granting that it intends to fair play us, which we have every reason to expect, is it not true that there is a sentiment crystallizing among our enemies inimical to the Negro's prospective trip across the waters as Uncle Sam's standard bearer? Stories have been circulated under the following caption. NEGROES NOT WANTED. To which we say: Bosh! In the meantime, the Negro proceeds with his program of loyalty but not without the discerning eye of the statesman. To his government he says: Send me to France and I will uphold the flag; I will distinguish myself and country; I will bring glory to my race as defenders of this so-called world Democracy, hoping that in some way this new record will attract the fair attention of those who govern. Maybe I can make a good impression on my country's allies abroad, so that when the war is won and England is rewarding and improving her Colored Dominions and France is reconstructing her black units, perhaps these two truly democratic countries may induce mine to adjust its race problems on the only practicable basis, which is justice and equality of citizenship for all. To those who seem elated over the possibility of the Negro not sharing his usually big honor in the present war are reminded that over 600,000 black troops fought at Verdun! True, they were under other insigns still they were black. To the sworn enemies of the Negro and those who cannot digest the idea of Negro officers not even for Negro soldiers these questions are asked: Do you oppose us because you think the Negro might present a bolder type of soldier? Or do you fear the Negro will offer a higher embodiment of Americanism? Do you think that the Negro will, by his deportment and valor, be able to refute some of the false conceptions regarding us that have been sown by our fair but prejudicial American friends? These we would ask and more. Does anyone imagine that the Negro's position will not be substantially altered for the better in this country whether he goes to war or not? It is clearly understood that he is ever willing with that, "I'll go where you want me to go" spirit. Then, it is not his fault that he does not die on the ramparts of the battlefields of France. But truth has its own propaganda. In this case it says: The Negro's position must be altered. For my sake, he must be hated more or loved more. He must either be more obnoxious or more pleasantly tolerated by those who have always opposed his progress. Those who do not want the Negro to participate in this war, how do they like the idea of the Negro's enforced stay-at-home proposition where he will have nothing to do but get fat off better jobs and read the casualty list (of course weepingly) of the other fellows? No unenviable position after all, looking at it from a selfish standpoint. But the Negro wants to deserve and preserve. But in fighting, he wants to fight like a man. He wants to feel that each bullet sped on its way has a definite purpose in bringing to his own the very blessings of Democracy. Above all, in wearing the uniform of his country he feels more than ever the dignity of manhood and citizenship and he receives with small grace any untoward limitations hate or jealousy would place upon him by those who wear the same blue or live under the same flag. Oh! It's great! WHAT WILL THE NEGRO DO? Every paper you read nowadays is teeming with treachery being discovered in this country here and there, high and low. Treasonable literature, plotters and anti-American schemers are being apprehended every day. Amid all this Negroes are sitting serenely but watchfully waiting in their undeniable position of truth and its sincerity. After serving honorably in every war of his country; after suf- Y. M. C. A.

The only new note I can find in the Negro attitude is that he means to ENJOY what he fights for and that if he protects the flag the flag must surely protect him, to which I say Amen, all the time.

Let every Negro Business man lay aside all past grievances and with all his might boost the Negro Business League and Carnival, to be held on 18th street next week.

The address by Past Grand Master Crews, though brief, was highly enjoyed by all present and at the close he was given an ovation lasting several minutes. His address was as follows: Most Worshipful Grand Master and Fellow Citizens:— In accordance with the time honored custom of the Masonic fraternity, we who represent that Ancient and honorable institution have assembled here with you today to lay the cornerstone of a new temple of religious manhood for the benefit of the large community of Colored people who inhabit this Metropolitan center. It is peculiarly fitting and proper that this splendid building should be erected here at the Gateway of the Great South through which pass annually thousands of members of this race, seeking a greater freedom and a greater opportunity in the wonderful North and West. And we sincerely pray that this magnificent structure may be like a house "built by the side of the road"—a haven and a refuge—for that class of sober, respectable and high-minded young men of our race who are striving to bear the burdens of their people and who are courageously meeting every crisis that may confront us. As Masons we are committed by our faith to the support of these various institutions of our country which are dedicated to charity and the uplift of humanity; and especially are we bound to commend that generous and progressive spirit that has impelled such a large body of our representative fellow citizens of this great city to labor so earnestly and zealously for this beautiful structure. And we have assembled in the presence of you all to lay the foundation of an Institution which we pray God may prosper and be enabled to give that full measure of comfort and peace and happiness to all who may be domiciled beneath its protecting shelter. It was here that Negro Masonry in Missouri had its inception and it is The Sun Goes to 36 States and Canada. Are Your Relatives and Friends Getting It? PRICE, 5c. perfectly fit and proper that here it shall give its largest demonstration of loyalty and helpfulness; in the shadow of the world's greatest wrong perpetrated upon a peaceful and defenseless people. But we are neither discouraged nor dismayed because we put our trust in the hands of the God that holds the destinies of men and races and Nations in His hands and we are taught that: "The soul that on Jesus still leans for repose. He will not, He will not desert to his foes; That soul, tho' all hell should endeavor to shake He'll never, no never, no never forsake." (See page 5, column 4.) THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF COL- ORED WORKERS SHALL RE- SENT ANY ATTEMPT OF DIS- CRIMINATION AGAINST COL- ORED WORKERS, BY THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR. WE ADVISE THE COLORED WORK- MEN TO JOIN THEM IF GIVEN A CHANCE; DON'T BE A SCAB, BUT REPORT TO THE N. C. C. W., IF DISCRIMINATED AGAINST. We Are Citizens and We Demand the Same Right to Work as the White Working Class Now Have. Kansas City is having its labor troubles, strikes on every hand, labor is waking and is demanding her share of the present high prices. The American Federation of Labor is having her day; when this great body of men speak, capital with all of its many avenues of power, trembles. In most cases where colored men are involved, they have responded to the call of organized labor. The A. F. of L. has accepted them on the same basis, and have promised the same protection accorded white workers: Therefore, we, the members of The National Council of Colored Workers, demand of the A. F. of L. a square deal for our Colored Workers. We shall resent any system of weeding out, or any attempt MR. RUCKER SMITH, a safe and courageous leader and an undaunted believer in the possibilities of his race. to intimidate Colored workers after the strike is over. To our Colored brother, we advise you to not be a scab, remember you belong to the working class, and if the unions offer to be fair with you, join hands with them in the struggle, capital against labor. Every man who works for wages belong to the working class, no matter what color he is, and, since the rich are already organized into combines and trusts, they are unions, too, with a different name, we the working class must organize, or be reduced to abject slavery. The National Council of Colored Workers, a working class organization, shall be glad to take up the fight to protect Colored men from being discriminated against by the A. F. of L., although we hope it shall not be necessary. We shall meet Sunday at 3 p. m., at 1315 E. 18th street. The Council extends its thanks to Mr. Crews, the editor, Mr. Chas. A. Starks, news dealer, Mr. Samuel R. Hopkins, real estate, for favors shown this organization. WINSTON HOLMES, Chairman W. M. BONNER, Secretary.

McCord today, Provost Marshal General E. H. Crowder directs that the movement of the next 40 per cent of the men drafted in Missouri for the national army will begin on September 19, and 5 per cent must be in transit each day until the full quota is completed at Camp Funston. Only white men will be handled in this movement of the drafted men, but what disposition will be made of the Negroes in this section of the draft, General Crowder has not yet explained. This will likely be made the subject of a further supplementary order to be issued subsequently by the provost marshal general. by some of the best talent of the two cities....Dr. J. R.

One of the best edited newspapers is the Wisconsin Weekly Blade, edited by that splendid scholar and logician. J. Anthony Josey. What it lacks in size it makes up in pungent, stirring and courageous editorials. Of course there will be a way to keep the Negro soldiery back in the honors of this war. There are always such hooks and crooks, you know. And there are people in authority who will resort to those ways in due time. Keep your eye on Des Moines. Have you noticed that all the antidraft advocates, all the slackers, all the agitators of commercial discontent, all the war grafters, all the peddlers of sedition are of the proud Anglo-Saxon blood? Will the future historian take note of this fact? Will the present race bigot admit it now? Says Uncle Zeke, "Ef Mistah Hoovah decla's any restrictums on meat it will be mighty ha'd on de babcue stand boadahs. It sho will." And U. Z. is right. The coming winter with its high prices and food scarcity is going to be "ha'd" on all who fail to look a day in advance and to think less of the day at hand.

The Kanaka, as the native Hawaiian is called, is fast dying out. It is said that when Captain John Cook of H. M. S. Navy discovered these islands in 1778, the islands had a population of 400,000 but in a little over one century there remain but 26,000 according to the census of 1910. Various causes have been attributed to this unprecedented disappearance of a whole race. They have for one thing intermarried with other races, in fact have been absorbed by the other races of the islands. The interest in these natives of our island possessions have been kept before us almost continually by their native music which has taken us by storm. The latest play dealing with Hawaii is "A Daughter of Sun," a story of an Hawaiian Butterfly, written by Lorin J. Howard and Ralph T. Kettering, and produced by Rowland and Howard. Nothing in the dramatic line since "A Bird of Paradise" has created such a furore. The atmosphere of these enchanted Isles is maintained by a wonderful scenic equipment and also a band of native Hawaiian musicians, who furnish the music for the play. "A Daughter of the Sun" will be seen at the Garden Theater for one Betty & Sam's Little Corner A THEY SAY —That it never rains but it pours. —That after the "good time" usually comes the "hereafter." —That the most beautiful angel and the wickedest devil in the world is woman. —That a woman who fancies she has been snubbed by a man usually claims to hate all mankind. —That jealousy in the Negro race seems more pronounced than among any other people. Why? —That the whetting of knives have already begun for the Spring Campaign and it's five months away. Well, go to it boys! That right blessed is the man or woman who have their coal in the bin and their flour in the cupboard for winter. That the corner stone laying of the Y. M. C. A. at St. Louis was the greatest demonstration ever witnessed on the part of Colored people in that city. That the party who is always sending communications to the press and do not sign their names are generally unreliable, irresponsible and decidedly cowardly. Does this hit you?

Y. M. C. A. LAY CORNER STONE. It was Wendell Phillips, the great advocate of Liberty and Justice, who said that races could be judged in two ways, first "by the great men they produced; and second by the average merit of the mass of the race." And if we accept this theory as reasonable and true and look back over the long line of distinguished men the great city of St. Louis has produced, men like McGee Alexander, Jas. W. Grant, Moses Dixon, Alexander Clark, Wm. R. Lawton, W. T. Mumford, H. H. Jones, Jno. W. Wheeler, O. M. Woods, Jno. G. Pettiford, Peter H. Clark, Phil H. Murray, J. Milton Turner, J. M. M. Stokes, W. R. Hill, Charlton H. Tandy, Frank L. Williams, E. G. Shaw, W. H. Peck, E. A. Malone, A. W. Lloyd, Wm. H. Butler, I. H. Bradbury, C. K. Robinson, R. H. Cole and hundreds of other splendid men you have produced during these sixty years of limited opportunity, we can well exclaim "Hail, all Hail to this aggressive and progressive people. Mighty things have been wrought in these years of limited opportunity this race has been permitted to enjoy in this country but one distinguished writer has said: "That what our eyes now behold is but the forerunner of things more glorious yet to follow." I believe that the closing years of the Nineteenth Century were but a dressing room for the great drama of racial development that is going to be enacted before the civilized world by these people of mine in this Twentieth Century. We may never again witness an inspiring spectacle like this. For the years of human life are but short and few, but let us strive so to live that when we shall be summoned before the Ruler of Worlds' above, we can hear it said, "Well done." Be not discouraged, though we are hedged about with difficulties in Church and in State. Be not dismayed tho' the enemies of the race may seem for a season to be in the ascendancy; but let us put our trust in the God of Moses, in nthe God of Daniel and the God of David and we shall not fail. When Moses and the Israelites from Egypt's land did flee, Behind them were proud Pharoah's hosts in front of them the sea; God raised the water like a wall and opened up their way And the God that lived in Moses' time is just the same today. When Daniel faithful to his God would not bow down to men And by God's enemies was hurled into the lion's den. God shut the lion's mouth, we read, and take the thief's life. When David and Goliath met, the wrong against the right The giant arm with human power, and David with God's might God's power with David's sling and stone the giant low did lay. And the God that lived in David's time is just the same today. He's just the same today. He's just the same today. the same today, And if we'll trust Him in our hearts, He'll lead us all the way. Mrs. N. H. Porter, 1208 Woodland avenue, left Tuesday night for Jerome, Ariz., to join her husband, Mr. N. H. Porter.

By Roscoe C. Jamison She wore a veil. I could not see What tint, or hue, her skin might be, But, Oh, she was so trim, and neat, Her voice was music, low and sweet, And while I watched her, to my eyes, She seemed an Angel from the skies. Still, thus I mused; "She may be one Of those women dark men must shun, Yea, one who at the faintest cry, May bring a mad mob howling nigh!" And so I would have turned away, For fear great danger here might lay. It was just then she turned toward me, Lifted her veil so daintily, And smiled.—My brain was in a whirl, Seeing such eyes, and teeth o' pearl,— And Cupid laughed, the little clown, For, Oh, Thank God—her face was Brown!

Whether it is a Fifth avenue drawing room or a Bowery saloon, its occupants invariably turn to the world conflict as a favorable topic of discussion, and frequently the argument name of Schultz, especially at this time." Then a discussion of the war started, and in less time than it takes to tell it the interior of that saloon resembled a bombed section of Relms. The combatants went to it with the referocity of tigers, and every man in the place was taking either a healthy wallop or a vicious kick at everybody else. All were impartial in the delivery of their blows. It was a case of whenever a head bobbed up to knock it down. In the heat of battle Ginanski crieled out that he had been stabbed. Schultz and Romanoff dived for the door, but were stopped by other combatants. An automobile filled with secret service men was passing and hearing the uproar in the saloon they stopped. They arrested Schultz and Romanoff and sent in a call for an ambulance. Then they piled their prisoners in the car and started for police headquarters. Patrolman Bowers of the Fifth street station, who had just heard of the fight, ran up and, thinking the two combatants were being spirited away by friends, leaped on the running board of the car and with pistol drawn ordered the chauffeur to stop. Explanations followed and all went to the police station. Ginanski will recover. The two prisoners were charged with felonious assault and held in $1,500 ball each. Up-to-Date Settlement of Matrimonial Tangles Up-to-Date Settlement of Matrimonial Tangles HAVRE, MONT.—When a man falls in love with another man's wife, usually there's a shooting affray, remarks the Detroit Free Press. And, again, when a woman gets to liking another woman's husband better than her own there's the deuce to pay. But not tangle was to trade wives and husbands. Mrs. Jordan agreed to swap her husband to Mrs. Turcotte in exchange for Mr. Turcotte with nothing to boot. The husbands were willing enough to be traded. In fact, they were well along on a plan to trade wives with each other. So, instead of any killing or unwritten-law defenses or suits for alienation of affection, there evolved two unique matrimonial trades. The Jordans and Turcottes agreed to get divorces. Divorce decrees were granted them at Boulder Hot Springs. Then the former Mrs. Jordan became the new Mrs. Turcotte, and the former Mrs. Turcotte became the new Mrs. Jordan. The two couples stood up together at the ceremony, and the friendliest relations exist between them. Now they are living again as neighbors in all good fellowship. Before the divorces the Jordans and Turcottes were next door neighbors. It was then the husbands and their wives concluded they were wrongly mated and decided to back out of their matrimonial alliances and start anew. Both couples had children, each a boy and girl. After the matrimonial swap one couple took the two boys and the other took the two girls. This gives each father and mother one own, child and a stepchild. Beer Mask Proved Antidote for Ammonia Fumes DETROIT.—"The Germans have taken Bates street and have pushed as far east as headquarters. They are gassing the Gold Dollar bar and the chop suey joint." The ice man thus reported a sad incident Monday afternoon copious tears into a tall shell in the adjoining saloon. Except for the weeping horses the alley was empty for over an hour. Inspector James Spread volunteered to cross the street and direct the operations of relief, but one whiff from the alley sent him back to the highest step of the headquarters grand stairway. By four o'clock the leak had reached such proportions that several passing Hurper and Fourteenth cars were seen to shake as with a fit. But one of these shuddering vehicles brought the man who solved the problem. He was a negro who used to work in an ammonia factory in Cincinnati. Entering the bar he ordered a burlap sack soaked with beer. Wrapping the dripping sack around his face "Ammonia Bill" went into the cellar. "Send down another sack, 'n soak it well," he called up in about five minutes. The sack went down and the first one came up—dry as flint. Half a dozen times the brew-dripping bags went down and came up dry. By that times the fumes had disappeared. The proprietor of the cafe invited the ammonia plumber to have a couple without having to wring them out, and traffic was resumed.

THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1917 Introducing Suits and Fabrics ```markdown ``` H THE GARDEN Fashion holds a loose rein this season and leaves much to the fancy of the individual. If only she contrives to be smart and somewhat original she may please herself as to the length of her coat, the lines of her silhouette and the material of her suit. She who loves the plain, tailor-made suit in quiet colors is much approved by fashionable sentiment, and she who cannot be happy in severe things may go a long way in elaboration. Nevertheless the predominating style in tailored suits is built on the almost straight line silhouette, with a three-quarter length (or slightly longer) coat and a plain skirt without any fullness to spare and hanging straight. It may even cup in a little toward the bottom, and buttoned up the side seams from the hem almost to the knee. There is no attempt to make Superb Lounging Superb Lounging Robe of Sat S It is a far cry from the ordinary kimona to the gorgeous lounging robe that is pictured here, although there are kimonas and kimonas; some of them superb and rich.In the embroideries of Japan. Perhaps it is these that have inspired the boubour gowns or lounging robes that have departed from the simple ways of their forebear to become rich and splendid. Anyway at home one may be as gaily decked out as the fancy, chooses, and as rich and splendid as money will allow, without offending anybody's taste or sense of fitness. This lounging robe is of salmon colored satin embroidered with silk in tones of the same color. The long, set in sleeves with points finished with tassel, carry the mind knomaward, and so does the management of the front where the opening is like that of a kimona. But a "V" shaped vestee is set in and the garment cut with a long body finished at the bottom with an embroidered band. The skirt portion is set on to this and falls open to the hem, pre-supposing an under-petticoat of silk or net or lace. The under-petticoat is of crepe de chine, with a lace trimmed flounce. To indulge in so rich a boudoir gown is to take the consequences in the form of petticoats, slippers, stockings and cap that shall be in keeping with it. The pretty cap shown in the picture leaves no doubt in the mind as to its origin for it is a dalnty interpretation of a coole hat. The crown is made of bands of narrow ribbon, the brim HOLLYWOOD suit skirts longer and eight inches above the floor is a safe rule for them. There are several new names for soft woolen cloths, usually descriptive of their surfaces. Instead of trying to remember them all—for no one else is apt to—they may be classed as the "glove finish" materials, as their names imply—suede twill, wool jersey, velours, brondcloth, bolivia, are all of this character. The suit shown here has a plain skirt, fuller than the average. The coat is semi-fitting with straight line down the front, and a fashionable fullness over the hips, where it is set on to a belt curved at the sides. Two small pockets appear below the belt and there is a convertible collar of the material. The hem of the coat is very narrow and there are no decorative features except the buttons on the pockets. y Robe of Satin of lace and a flounce of lace falls from the brim edge. The slippers are made of satin ribbon set on to a soft sole and gathered about the top edge. They are held on by narrow straps made of satin ribbon shirred over flat elastic and there are two straps to each slipper. The cap and slippers need not be of the same color as the robe but the effect is fine when they are. Julia Bottomly Overhead Decoration. A charming device for an overhead decoration for a porch, outdoor fete or even a dining room is made by taking a large Japanese umbrella or parasol. Cut off the handle close to the top, then get a wee electric light and fasten on the end of each rib, say, alternating white and blue. From each rib a strand of smilax, asparagus fern or narrow ribbon may radiate to the corners of the table. Silk Coatces Favored Little silk bolero coattees are made to go with the lovely cream white net dresses. They are often rather loose, and made by lapping the breadths to make them take the form of the figure, more or less. They are bordered with ancient gimpps, or with old-fashioned looking narrow flowered ribbons. They generally take the tone of the ribbon used in some way on these vaporous dresses. JUST PART OF DAY'S WORK British Aviators Awaiting a Call Reminded American Newspaper Correspondent of Bellhops. We strolled, as we talked, into a long shed, with a board table along its center, a telephone desk in the corner and many maps on the plain board walls—the regulation appearance of a headquarters. A bench ran down one side of the room, and on it sat seven or eight lean, blond, clean cut British youths in khakl. It was the watch, waiting on call against emergencies of the air. Phil Simms, being an American and therefore of witty imagination, smiled, "Bellhops, waiting for a call to Z 20," he whispered. The row of aviators, being Britons and shy, shifted their legs and looked embarrassed. But one rose from the bench and approached the captain, saluting. He was breathing heavily and his eyes were bloodshot. "Oh—you've just landed!" said the captain easily, "Had a fight, didn't you?" "Yes, sir," said the boy all in a breath, "Squad of four German planes attacked me and Brown-Jones. (This name, of course, is disguised.) My gun jammed after three shots, and I had to hurry back. Brown-Jones brought one down. I think. At least he appeared to be out of control when he dropped into the cloud below." "Oh—er—Brown-Jones back?" "No, sir. But I saw him crossing our lines behind me." "Engine trouble, I suppose. Doubtless we'll hear from him later. What about the other three Huns?" "They showed evidences of extreme terror, sir!" "Very well." The boy settled back onto the bench, where he nonchalantly borrowed a cigarette from his neighbor. Just let your imagination play on this, as mine did. Back from a fight fifteen thousand, eighteen thousand, feet in the air, a thing merely dreamed of three years ago, realized only a year ago—an adventure beyond precedent. And here it was treated as part of the day's work!—Will Irwin in the Saturday Evening Post. Why Soldiers Wear Wrist Watches. Replying to a question from his audience, a British officer lecturing in Chicago explained why all officers wear wrist watches. He described an advance from the trenches as an illustration, telling how every move was made on a prearranged schedule, the artillery throwing a curtain of fire for a certain number of seconds, while the infantry advanced 20 yards farther ahead, while the infantry made another advance, and so on. "All this shell fire," he said, "is being done by artillery far behind. The artillery officer depends most of all upon his watch. He sits with a telephone glued to his ear and field glasses in his hands. He has no time to be fumbling for his watch. A minute's error in changing the range would mean that the shells would be falling into his own advancing troops. Nor has the officer leading his men across No Man's Land any time to be fumbling for his watch." Appeal of Numbers. Most of us decided a long time ago that a league was the distance that the winged shoes enabled the fairy prince to cover in less than no time. But one Indianapolis boy evidently has a very different interpretation. The boy is passionately fond of the movies, so it very naturally came about that he was telling the caller about his latest plans for "more" diversion. "I'm going to the Circle this week," he announced. "I'm going to see 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,'" "That will be very nice," was the response. "You will see men walking on the bottom of the sea, and lots of big fish, and the boat, and all sorts of interesting things." "Yes," he answered, rather uninterestedly. "I know all about those things. But you know, what I want to see is those leagues. There's going to be twenty thousand of them." Troops Called to Subdue Bear When the Swiss army was mobilized three years ago the soldiers surely did not think that they would have of fight bears, but that happened to a detachment of the troops on Rorschach on the lake of Constance recently. A large brown bear escaped from a traveling penagerie and trotted through the streets, causing a panic among the population. The bear finally entered a butcher shop, where he enjoyed a good meal of steak and fish and created general havoc. In the meantime half a company of soldiers of the local garrison had been called up and hastened to the scene of the disturbance with loaded rifles and fixed bayonets. The butcher shop was surrounded by the troops and the bear held at bay until his owner and a couple of trainers arrived and lassoed him. Airplanes Only 14 Years Old. In this day when ordinary aviation is regarded as little more dangerous than driving a milk wagon, and when in Europe thousands of military airplanes are scouting, fighting, and traveling hundreds of miles in dead of night to drop bombs on enemy cities, one may easily forget that the first successful public trial of a heavier-than-air flying machine took place less than 14 years ago. Yet it was about that time at Kitty Hawk, N. C., that the really first successful flight of an airplane was made by Wilbur Wright, now dead. NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Not Much Overlooked by Capital Peace Guardians Not Much Overlooked by Capital Peace Guardians WASHINGTON.—Charlie Michael has a friend who lives in an apartment on Sixteenth street. He will not allow the use of his name, but this friend of his is a well-known stenographer who is just crazy about the study of astronomy. He goes up on the roof of the apartment on clear nights, lies on his back and watches the various solar and planetary systems swimming about in the universe. He has a lot of pets among the stars, which he treats as if they were fine Japanese fan-tailed goldfish, and when a cloud intervenes 'twixt him and his favorite sun he doesn't like it a bit. He has a star map, which is a contraption with a lot of slides and jiggers which can be manipulated so that what is going on above and the right one can produce a chart showing just a should be. in trouble. to flash a pocket electric light upon it the police objected to.

At the intersection of Connecticut avenue and Massachusetts avenue, to the north, there is a vacant lot—or was a vacant lot—where once stood the Chinese legation. It adjoins the property of Senator Clark of Wyoming, the "copper king." Popular report has it that Senator Clark objected to the old The Unknown By F. L. Henderson (Copyright, 1917, by W. G. Chapman.) Vance Denzil yawned drearily and tossed, rather than placed, the heavy tome in his lap upon the table at his side. "Dry as dust," no uttered complainingly, "and getting worse. I'm not in the mood for law these superb summer days. Last year—" There Denzil halted himself abruptly and a shade of irrepressible sadness crossed his face. Last year, indeed, presented a contrast: A sweetly secluded country town and Nellie Bryant. It had seemed as if a golden future of love, peace and happiness was assured the day they became engaged. Tender letters of mutual cheer had passed between them for a month. Then no replies came to his own. And then one day a brother of Nellie visited the city and came to the office where Denzil was studying law. The latter had always looked upon him as a flighty, uncontrollable young cub, whom he tolerated because Nellie was his half-sister. He had liked Nellie's step-mother less. "Thought I'd drop in on you," volubly descented the shifty-eyed lad. "In fact, mother said to. And Nellie—oh, yes, here is the packet Nellie said to place it in your hands." Denzil choked up as he guessed the contents—his letters and a ring. He could feel the outlines of the latter, undoubtedly the little engagement circlet he had given the only girl he had ever loved, at their last meeting. "You see, Nellie thought you awful nice and attractive and said so, but A "Here Is the Packet." you know how girls change their minds. There's a rich young fellow at Rosedale caught her fancy, and I rec. on she's forgotten you. Sorry, but it's the way of the world, hey? Denzil could have kicked this rude mauler of his tender emotions into the street, but repressed the inclination for acute bitterness succeeded to soul pain, as, judging from what the lad said, Nellie had simply played with his affections and was a heartless, cruel jade! For a month Denzil mourned and suffered. Then he got down to work and tried to forget Nellie, engrossed in trying to make a lawyer of himself. "My first lady love," he soliloquized. "She shall be the last," and he believed it. Time had somewhat healed the wounds of the past, but had made him cynical. Upon this present day of his life, as his eye rooved across the court between the building he was in and the one opposite. Denzil half smiled as his glance rested on a particular window. Its low sash was raised and upon a little stand just beyond it was a lady's hat. "The unknown," he spoke slowly and with a whimsical twinkle in his eyes. His heart was not as dead to romance as he had fancied, or feigned. Amid his solitude and unsociability, a score of times before he had noted that hat. In idle imagination he had woven a sort of mystical thread of romance about it. The window apparently let into a small anteroom to the apartment beyond. Every morning a gracefully formed girl had come to work and had placed her hat aside for the day. He had never seen her face. Once he had caught sight of a wealth of shining golden tresses, of a dainty, unringed hand. He had found it entertaining to fancy the features of the girl. It pleased him, it distracted his gloomy thoughts. The hat was very pretty, neat and modest, hence its owner must be possessed of good taste. It had a veil, there was spangle of well-matched ribbons at one side. He would be able to recognize that hat among a thousand. "My unknown is going nome earlier than usual," suddenly exclaimed Denzil, and he started up from his chair. "Suppose I go down the street and get a glimpse of the face under the hat." Longing for companionship was the element of the occasion, although Denzil did not take time to analyze it that far. He watched a hand reach for the hat, and it and its wearer vanished from his sight. Denzil was down the stairs promptly. He turned a corner and then another one. Just as he neared the front of the building across the court from the building in which his office was located, he slowed up his pace. "It is she," he reflected. "Shall I cross the street, or get ahead of her? It won't do to appear bold or annoying. Why! that's strange." What was strange, was that the wearer of the hat had dark hair. He had noted her a blonde. Had distance deluded him? At all events, however, there was a charming neatness of attire and gracefulness of form. He had started in as the adventure—he would pursue it further. Finally, with a well-affected unconsciousness of spying or proximity, Denzil gained the side of his object of interest. He ventured a glance. It brought disappointment. The veil was down to the lips. It was not a heavy veil, but it quite concealed the upper portion of the face of the unknown. Then someone jostled him. He was compelled to fall behind, and he was content now to follow this object of an idle, capricious whim and possibly thereby learn her identity. Thus for four squares. At the end of the last there was abruptly interjected into the situation a vivid element of excitement. A thunderous racket filled the air. A dozen shrill tones chorused warning, dread. She of the veiled hat seemed all unconscious of the racket. Glancing down the side street, Denzil sprang into action as he caught sight of a heavy truck attached to two horses, who were covering distance with prodigious spurts of speed. They had left the street and were tearing down the pavement. The girl was directly in their course. Within a single palpitating moment they would crush down upon her. With a superb athletic swing Denzil was at her side. He seized her bodily and swung her back, driving her squarely into the arms of a portly pedestrian—but safe. Himself he did not escape so easily. He experienced a stunning contact and lost sensibility. "Don't move," fell upon his hearing, as he lay out stretched on a lounge in the rear room of a pharmacy. "No bones broken, but only youth and sturdiness could have escaped as you have. Rest a little. Your young lady is all right. She fainted, but they have brought her around all right." "My young lady!" repeated Denzil vaguely. "Oh, you mean the unknown—" He was interrupted at that moment. She of the hat had entered the room, but minus the hat. "I wish to thank my brave preserver—" and then she wavered and fell, staring helplessly, into a chair. The unknown was known—Nellie Bryant. A sight of her roused Denzil by magite. The wise old doctor smiled benignantly and left them together. She was shy, trembling, agitated, he consumed with mystery—and hope. In that strange room a stranger story was told, revealing the wicked wiles of a scheming stepmother, intercepted letters, and forged ones. "I believed you no longer cared for me," confessed Nellie, "but I refused to marry the man my stepmother had selected. I left home and just to-day a position with a girl friend. I borrowed her hat to go on an errand and—" "Dear Nellie," spoke Denzil tenderly, "you can give up that position. I'll offer you a better one—as my wife." GREEKS OF ASIATIC TURKEY Occupy Only a Small Part of the Coast and Away From It Lose Their Racial Instincts. The only part of Aslatic Turkey where Western civilization has made at least some serious headway is the well-watered coastal belt which fringes Asia Minor and is chiefly Greek and Christian. The true Greek is only found within reach of the sea. He is by instinct fisherman, sailor and trader, eventually developing into wholesale merchant and banker. After leaving the coastal belt, he gradually loses his racial characteristics, merging with the Turkish-Mahometan population of the interior. It must be noted, however, that the designation "Turk" has, in those regions, no racial significance proper. The pure Tartar vagrant is in the minority. The Aslatic nomads penetrating, to this day, Asia Minor in irregular immigration waves, hall mostly from the Kirghiz steppes, and the principal purpose of their immigration is the desire to embrace the Mahometan religion. Similar is the reason for the steady emigration to Asia Minor from the various Balkan states. Not Answer He Expected. A London stock broker bought a "place in the country," where he liked to figure as the squire and local magistrate. In this capacity he dropped into the village school one day, and began to ask the children questions. "Now, what is an island?" he asked. There was no answer. "Come, now; could I ride on horseback from here to France?" "No, you couldn't," replied Tom Brown, son of the ostrer at the village inn. "My father saw you on horseback yesterday, and he said he was sure you couldn't ride half a mile without getting your neck broken."—London Tit-Bits. THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1917 Raise More Sheep--Alarmng Shortage of Wool Robert H. Moulton tells why farmers should give serious attention to production of this valuable live stock--Profits sure to be large for many years--demand exceeds supply F ALL the wool grown in the United States last year were made into pure, all-wool cloth, and the cloth were cut and divided equally among the men and women of the country, there would be about 44 square inches of such cloth allotted to each person; and if the present decline in wool production continues for a few years longer there will not be enough cloth to make a respectable breechcloth per capita. Such was the declaration of a speaker before the recent wool and textile conference, held in Philadelphia. In a short paragraph this sums up, not alone the situation which we as Americans face, but which the whole civilized world is facing. The impending shortage of clothing is at hand.

In a short paragraph this sums up, not alone the situation which we as Americans face, but which the whole civilized world is facing. The impending shortage of clothing is at hand. For every 1,000,000 acres of land in the United States in 1900 there were 67 sheep, while today, SHEEP ARE MONEY MAKERS creased population a chash of 30 per cent dividing it. There are more than 20,000,000 men in Europe under arms, wearing out six times their normal consumption of wool. As the war progresses the available wool of the world is certain to be consumed to the last ounce. Cotton, linen, and other fabrics may be used, but wool will be used as long as it is possible to secure it for the fighting forces. But there is no real substitution for this. Cotton may serve the purpose during the summer; for winter campaigning, especially in Russia and the mountain districts, wool is necessary. Aside from the tremendous demand for wool for warriors, which has been responsible for the present shortage, and which has brought the wool shortage down to hand-and-mouth proposition, there is a shortage in production. Australia, chief among wool-producing countries, is nearly 40 per cent short of her normal sheep supply because of a drought that killed sheep by the tens of thousands. But this country still has twice as many sheep as we have in the United States. People living in regions demanding woolens YUCATAN AMERICA YUCATAN IS THE AMERICAN EGYPT Scattered all over the Yucatan peninsula are monuments to a civilization that flourished thousands of years ago. Just how many thousand nobody knows and scientists differ very materially in their ideas on the subject. The prevailing belief, however, is that this civilization was in full swing as late as the beginning of the Christian era. Other scientists assert that the ruins antedate those of Egypt. Yucatan can well be called "The American Egypt." The ruins of 172 cities, big and little, have been discovered and not a quarter of the territory has been explored, that is, carefully explored, for the tropical verdure makes the finding of them very difficult. You might pass within a hundred feet of a wonderful old temple or pyramid a hundred times and not discover it, so effectively does the jungle screen these crumbling monuments of the distant past and shield them from the prying eyes of this incisive and presumptuous age. pyramid the inhabitants of the city gathered to watch these festal doings. Fifty thousand people could stand in it. Around this huge court runs a palace, two stories high and beautifully carved, which was the home of the nuns, for whose special delectation these sacrifices were made. The nuns were the aristocrats of ancient Maya society. On all four of the inner sides of this palace are carved two huge snakes, whose bodies are entwined as they twist around the structure. These snakes have human heads and tassels for tails. In all the ruins the carvings are of the same peculiar design. The patterns of the borders and the general ornamentation strongly suggest the Egyptian. What is most wonderful of all is how they were able to cut those huge blocks of stone and then carve them so beautifully without metal hammers or chisels. There is no iron or other metal in the country and so all they had to work with Of the 172 clusters of ruins discovered, two sets represent what were once large and prosperous cities, of about half a million inhabitants each. Doubtless at different times each one of these two cities was the capital of the country. One of the cities is Uxmal, pronounced "Ushmul," situated in the southwestern part of Yucatan, and the other is Chichen Itza, in the eastern part of the state. One is six miles away from the railway's end through the jungle and the other 18. In both cases the road leading out is little better than a trail and without question the roughest road that a wheeled vehicle was ever pounded to pieces on.

In both cases the road leading out is little better than a trail and without question the roughest road that a wheeled vehicle was ever pounded to pieces on. To my mind the most interesting ruin of all is "The House of the Dwarf" at Uxmal. It is a pyramid, with a temple on top where the priests made human sacrifices. The steps on one side are fairly well preserved. A double chain is run down them so that it is possible to reach the top if you have a cool head. Once there you crawl through a hole knocked in the temple wall and come out on a platform which was the sacrificial altar. On that platform the priests stood and with knives of flint cut out the hearts of living victims and held the gruesome objects aloft, still throbbing, for the populace below to gaze at.

The decline in numbers during this period has amounted to something like 9,000,000 sheep, although our population during the same period has increased 16,000,000 souls. Last season we clipped slightly over 42,000,000 fleeces, as against 44,000,000 for 1890, or a reduction of 2,000,000 in 15 years. Our population then was calculated to be 75,904,575, whereas it stands today far above the 100,000,000 mark, or a gain of about 26 per cent. In the past 15 years the wool production has decreased 4 per cent, thus leaving a difference between production and in- AUSTRALIAN SHEEP RANCH A also reside in the greatest sheep-raising zones. In fact, sheep are raised in every region where wool is in demand, save in the polar regions. It is natural that the woolen industry should spring up in primitive communities and among people who are too poor to afford purchased material for clothing. Therefore, wool growing and manufacturing as an industry has a place in practically all countries.

Nearly one-half of the world's present commercial supply of wool is produced in Australia, New Zealand and Argentina. Notwithstanding the fact that the production in the United States is not increasing materially, wool is produced in every state of the Union. The varied and wide adaptation of sheep in the United States is one of the promising features of the future, if farmers will but appreciate the wonderful fea- IS THE CAN EGYPT pyramid the inhabitants of the city gathered to watch these festal doings.

That remains as much of a mystery as the Pyramids of Egypt. This is used as an argument to prove that the same race of people did them both. There are many more ruins standing at Chichen Itza than at Uxmal, but in both cities all the smaller structures and private houses have disappeared. The ages have worn them away or earthquakes shaken them down and the jungle has covered all. The natural accumulation of soil for centuries has also covered them many feet deep. The bases of the big buildings still in sight are, of course, below the present surface. Not much has been done in the way of excavating, for the government is only just turning its attention to these wonderful relics of the past. The ruins have several feats in mason work that are beyond our twentieth century architects, such as arches without keystones, leaining walls, round corners, hanging terraces, and so on. The walls are all enormously thick and the rooms rather small, even in the houses of the governors or kings, or whatever they were called. Most of these rooms are now inhabited by bats and are not at all pleasant places. There are no flat ceiling to be found. All are finished with pointed arches. George Miner, in the Mexican Review Not only are wool values certain to increase, but maintain a steady and heavy market demand from all sides for a generation to come. The reasons are very apparent, namely: First, the wool-using population of the world has of late increased more rapidly than wool production. Second, wool's greatest competitor, cotton, has been in short supply relatively dearer than wool, especially coarse wool. Third, employment at high wages has been so plentiful that the masses have been in a position to buy clothes, and clothes made mostly of wool instead of cotton and shoddy. There are nearly 50,000,000 fewer sheep in the world today than 15 years ago, and more than 100,000,000 more people demanding wool. In the consumption of wool the United States is far and away in advance of either of the other great nations, for although somewhat behind the United Kingdom in the quantity required for her factories, all that is manufactured here is retained for clothing and other uses of our people, and, in addition, vast quantities of woolen fabrics are imported from abroad. A large percentage of the wool consumed in the factories of other countries is manufactured for export and sold for use beyond their borders, giving the United States pre-eminence as a wool-consuming nation. e consumption of wool the and away in advance of heat nations, for although United Kingdom in the factories, all that is retained for clothing and sale, and, in addition, vast fabrics are imported from entage of the wool con- of other countries is man- and sold for use beyond the United States pre-emiling nation. demanding wool.

The Mercado Central de Frutos, located at Buenos Aires, is the largest wool market in the world. This port and Bahia Blanca, the great southern Argentina port, handles practically all the wool grown in the republic. At shearing season wool arrives on ships and trains. In 1873 the world's sheep population was something like 400,000,000 sheep, whereas today the number is approximately 630,000,000, of which Argentina has about one-sixth, being exceeded in numbers only by Australia, which has 83,000,000 to Argentina's 80,000,000. The United States has something like 55,000,000 sheep, Asiatic Russia 30,000,000 and Great Britain and Ireland about 25,000,000.

Western Canada is coming to be a great sheep country, and here, where millions of acres of grazing land adapted to sheep raising are found, exists one of the finest natural sheep-raising sections close to centers of mutton and wool consumption to be found in the world. The part Canada will play in answering the world's demand for woolens is certain to be important in the near future, for farmers have caught the inspiration resulting from steady prices and a heavy demand for meats and wools. Our department of agriculture recently gave out a statement which reveals the real situation in facts and figures. This statement was to the effect that the production of wool in the United States in 1915 was 288,777,000 pounds, as compared with 290,192,000 pounds in 1914, and 296,176,000 in 1913. In other words, while we seem to have lost little in production as against 1899, we dropped off 7,000,000 pounds in these two years. Promotion of increased production of sheep undoubtedly is our great economic problem. One of the paramount features regarding the present shortage in clothing is due to the universal lack of proper grading and caring for the wool from farm to factory. Although the United States ranks as one of the leading wool-producing countries of the world, thousands of pounds of good wool annually are permitted to go to waste because of the farmer's slackness in grading and preparing his clip for the market. The present educational program of the bureau of animal husbandry tends to remove this loss. This means that the amount of wool imported annually by American manufacturers is equal to more than one-half of the home-grown clip.

Promotion of increased production of sheep undoubtedly is our great economic problem. One of the paramount features regarding the present shortage in clothing is due to the universal lack of proper grading and caring for the wool from farm to factory. Although the United States ranks as one of the leading wool-producing countries of the world, thousands of pounds of good wool annually are permitted to go to waste because of the farmer's slackness in grading and preparing his clip for the market. The present educational program of the bureau of animal husbandry tends to remove this loss. This means that the amount of wool imported annually by American manufacturers is equal to more than one-half of the home-grown clip. Foreign wool growers, Australians in particular, maintain a uniformly high-grade standard in the handling of their wools. This care in preparation for market has served to give that country a wool backed by a reputation that readily insures it full value at the time of selling to the manufacturer. Our modern agriculture needs sheep, more sheep. We need sheep to meet modern practical conditions. Farmers can positively do nothing better than enter sheep breeding with a strain, say, like the Shropshire, which have gained the reputation of being adapted to any sheep-raising region of the continent, and being the "farmer's sheep, a rent-paying sheep, a tenant's sheep, a money-making sheep, wool-producing, mutton-carrying, quick-fattening and hardy sheep." This breed is not only an economical feeder, but, like other improved breeds, good soil conveyors. They are adapted to the most intensive system of agriculture. Self-Defense.

I can't afford to, but I think I'd better knock off work for a week just to get rid of the people who insist on asking me when I'm going to, and where I'm going, and if not, why?" INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 23 DANIEL IN THE DEN OF LIONS. LESSON TEXT—Daniel 6. GOLDEN TEXT—The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them—Psalms 34:7. I. Daniel the Prime Minister of the Medo-Persian Empire (vv. 1-3). Daniel's sterling worth brought him to the front and kept him there. The new king was quick to discern his merits and to give them recognition by placing him at the head of affairs in his kingdom. II. An Occasion Sought Against Daniel (vv. 4-9). (1) The Reason of—Envy. To have this foreigner placed over them aroused the jealousy of the presidents and princes of the empire, so they set about to have him removed. The presence of envy shows inferiority. One never envies those below him. It is hard to forgive those who have outstripped us and left us behind in the race of life. (2) The Failure (v. 4). Daniel's official record was blameless. Not even an error could be found of which they could accuse him. Though he was without fault he had to suffer. Those who excel in any line are sure to suffer in some way. It is true in business, the home, the school, politics and religion. (3) The Wicked Plot (vv. 5-4). Not being able to find any fault, they trumped up a charge against him on the ground of his foreign religion. They were not careful about the method employed, just so their end was attained. III. Daniel's Noble Confession (vv. 10-13). Though Daniel knew that the wicked decree was signed, he knelt before God three times a day as usual. He went quietly about his affairs, attended to his regular devotions, because he trusted God. There is always a marked silence about heroism. Weak men bluster, but strong men have little to say. Daniel continued his usual habit of prayer, even though it was a violation of the civil law, because he knew that God's law was first. When the laws of earth conflict with the laws of heaven there is but one thing to do; that is, to obey God rather than man. IV. The Foolish Decree Executed (vv. 14-17). The king was greatly displeased with himself (v. 14) and diligently sought to deliver Daniel, but he was helpless (v. 15). The proud ruler was a slave. Laws which change not are self-condemnatory, foolish, positively wicked. The king was weak for fear of others, which is utter wickedness. Daniel was cast into the den of lions (v. 16) and a double seal placed upon the den (v. 17). They were not content with the king's seal alone, which shows that one rascal will not trust another. The king's words, "Thy God, whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee," to Daniel were a poor excuse, but they were the best that he could offer to his conscience. V. Daniel Delivered (vv. 18-23). (1) The King's Sleepless Night (v. 18). Doubtless Daniel was more comfortable in the den of lions than the king in his palace. His quietude is a picture of the safety and peace which are the portion of those who trust God and do his will. This is a sample of what faith can do. "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth thee." (2) The King's Question (v. 20). In the morning the king called to Daniel in the den of lions saying, "Is thy God able?" This is always the question of the unbelieving heart. The believing heart says, "Our God is able." (3) Daniel's Answer (v. 22). "My God has sent his angel." Angels are God's ministering spirits. "The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them." (Psalms 34:7.) Many times no doubt our lives are preserved because we are guarded by God's angels. Not even a sparrow falls to the ground without the Father, and the very hairs of our heads are numbered, so we ought to expect the mouths of the lions to be shut against us. (4) Daniel Removed From the Dev (v. 23). There was no manner of hurt upon him. The reason was that "he believed in his God." The same reason is why the garments and hair of his companions were not even singed. VI. Doom of Daniel's Accusers (v. 24). They were cast into the den of lions "and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den." Daniel's God to Be Feared. VII. Darius' Decree (vv. 25-27). He decreed that in all parts of his king, dom men of all peoples and tongues should tremble and fear before the God of Daniel. VIII. Daniel's Prosperity (v. 28). Though Daniel's enemies perish, he goes higher and higher in the kingdom, even continuing into the reign of Cyrus. In all our trials and tests we should not be moved, for there is a righteous and just God in heaven, and nothing can occur without him. Man's schemes shall even continue to praise him. 18TH STREET CARNIVAL ALL NEXT WEEK GARDEN WEEK SEPT.23 Ev'g's, 10-20-30-50. A few at 75c. Bargain Mats., Tues. Thurs. Sat., 10-95. A few at 50c.

ALL-NATIONS BEAT A. B. C'S. Donaldson Allows Negro Players Only Two Hits. The Schmelzer All-Nations won the first of a four-game series from the champion Negro team, the A. B. C's, of Indianapolis, Sunday afternoon, at Association Park, 4 to 0. John Donaldson, Colored pitcher of the All-Nations, did the mound work and he had the Indianapolis team on his staff during the entire game. Only one of the visitors reached third base. Donaldson allowed but two hits, one in the seventh inning and the other in the eighth. He struck out seven. The All-Nations didn't score until the sixth frame, when they put one counter across the plate. In the seventh they tailed three times off the delivery of Williams. The fielding of Olson, Mendez and Lyons was a feature of the game. The same teams will play again Monday at 3 o'clock. Mendez or Yendes will work for the All-Nations and Gatewood for the Indianapolis aggregation. Score: R. H. E. A. B. C's.....000 000 000—0 2 3 All-Nations.....000 000 101—4 12 1 Batteries—Williams and Malarcher; Donaldson and Coleman. Umpires—Wheeler and McDonald. A. B. C.'S WON SECOND OF SERIES. On Monday the Indianapolis A. B. B. C.'s gave a demonstration of their true class by beating the All Nations by the score of 8 to 1. The game was slow and uneventful and was cinched by the Taylorites at the beginning. The All Nations promised that Tuesday's game will be a hundinger in which the Cuban Mendez will be pitied against Charleston of the Ae. B. C.'s. The third game of the All-Nations-Indianapolis series at Association park resulted in a one-sided contest, with the All-Nations romping home by a score of 9 to 1. Mendez, the All-Nations' star pitcher, fanned ten of the dusky athletes from Indianapolis and not a man reached third base until the ninth inning, when Lyons of the All-Nations missed an easy fly in right field. Mendez deserves all the credit for winning the game, as he let the A. B. C.'s down with two hits and this is remarkable when it is considered that Mendez plays every day at his regular position as shortstop.

The management made it ladies' day, and more than three thousand fans were in the stand when the umpire called to play. Our sporting editor has no hesitation in saying this is the most thrilling, exciting and hotly contested game of baseball played here this season. We shall not attempt to elaborate but simply say that the game was not won until the last man was out in the last half of the eleventh inning. The final score was 4 to 3 (11 innings) in favor of the A. B. C.'s. Both Williams and Donaldson pitched a grand game. Williams having a shade the best of it while the hitting of Torrento and Gatewood was terrific. Mr. Taylor made a decided impression upon the fans of this city by the gentlemanly deportment of his men and his skillful manner in handling his team, and it is needless to say the A. B. C.'s will be prime favorites in this in the future. The Chicago Union Giants come today, Sunday and Monday for three games. And then comes the World's Negro Champions, Rube Foster's American Giants, and the fans predict that the banner crowd of 7,000 that witnessed last Sunday's game will be surpassed when Rube comes.
