HIGH HONORS TO A WORTHY MINISTER AND SOLDIER—CHAPLAIN GEORGE W. PRIOLEAU ADVANCED TO RANK OF MAJOR.
It is now Major George W. Prioleau. Chaplain Prioleau is well known in Los Angeles. He is now located in the Hawaiian Islands, Stationed with the Twenty-fifth United States Infantry at Schofield Barracks. Born in South Carolina, educated in Wilberforce University and other institutions of higher training in Ohio, serving as Professor in Wilberforce University and as minister of the Gospel, he has advanced steadily until, by exceptional efficiency he has attained the highest rank of any Colored man in the active service of the United States army at the present time. He is major in the Twenty-fifth Infantry, one of the four regiments of Colored Soldiers in the service of Uncle Sam.
Chaplain George W. Prioleau was appointed in 1895 and assigned to special recruiting duty for the Ninth Cavalry for service in the Spanish-American war. In 1899 he was sent to the Philippines, where he remained two years. In 1907 he was returned to the Philippines and spent another two years. When he was returned to the United States he joined the Ninth Cavalry at Fort D. A. Russell, but was transferred to the Tenth Cavalry in 1911 and was stationed on the Mexican border. In June, 1916, he was assigned to the Twenty-fifth Infantry at Schofield Barracks Hawaiian Territory, where he has served efficiently and well, and earned the nomination for the grade of major. He was nominated August 9 and was confirmed by Congress a few days ago.
The motto of the Twenty-fifth Infantry is "Country, Duty, Honor." In his work in the army, Chaplain Prioleau has carried out his part of that motto to the letter, and that accounts for the lofty position.
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1917.
(From Wednesday's Kansas City Journal.)
There has been a singularly ill-advised handling of the Negro soldiers ever since the mobilization of the American forces began. Numerous "race riots" and outbreaks of greater or less seriousness have occurred as a result of quartering Negro regulars in communities where race prejudice might naturally have been expected to result in friction, if nothing worse. These occurrences, however, appear to have been controlled, and there have been no special reasons for complaint for some time.
But the wrong lesson appears to have been learned by the government's military authorities from these occurrences. Ever since the registered forces have been in process of selection under the new law there has been evinced a seeming disposition to ignore the Negroes as prospective units of the new national army, with the result that a two-fold injustice has been worked. In the first place, white men who w ould not have been called for months, in all probability, have been "advanced" in the lists while the Negroes have been held back. Let it not be understood that considerations of race or color should operate to relieve white men of any obligations which are entailed upon them as citizens or available soldiers, or that Negroes, because they are Negroes, should be sent to places of danger ahead of white men. That is not the fundamental principle involved. Before the law all are equal in the matter of responsibility. But wholly unnecessary and wholly avoidable dissatisfaction is being caused by this injustice which is being wrought in the case of the white men who are sent to the training camps, while Negroes are held back by order of the authorities.
There is also an unnecessary injustice wrought upon the tens of thousands of willing Negroes who ought to take their places in the ranks but who are deprived of that privilege. They are being placed in the position of men who are either unwilling to assume the responsibilities of citizenship or who are not regarded as worthy of assuming the burdens falling upon all alike. Either assumption is unjust.
In view of prejudices which exist and which cannot be consistently ignored, the problem of the Negro soldier will not be solved by promiscuous mingling of the two races, and certainly not by sending white soldiers alone while Negroes are held at home. There is no apparent reason why several divisions of Negroes should not be formed, officered mainly by men of their own race, within the regulations prescribed. There is no reason why these Negro soldiers should not be trained at one or more training camps devoted exclusively to soldiers of their race. The same fundamental results would be secured without the friction and dissatisfaction which have already been caused.
Under proper conditions the Negroes might give as good an account of themselves as soldiers of the white race and they should be allowed the opportunity of doing so. If it is not considered an opportunity by all of the available Negro soldiers, they should be required to assume the duty deveolving upon them such. They must be credited,how,with having shown as yet no disposition to shirk these duties and responsibilities and they should be invested with their proportionate share of the burdens of membership in the national forces.

ROOSEVELT.
By Roscoe C. Jamison.
I have not reached the heights $ sought,
In fame, nor earthly treasure.
I have not sung with winged thought,
Nor rhymed with perfect measure,
And yet kind Fate has brought to me
A joy most deeply felt;
A king of men was here today—
And I saw Roosevelt!
He stood within a sheltered place,
Without vast crowds were surging.
Grown used to slights for darkened face,
Perhaps I needed urging.
For when he saw me he stepped forth
And smiled—I could have knelt—
And man to man I grasped the hand—
The hand of Roosevelt!
“All men up, and no man down—”
These grand words he was saying,
“Let men be men, black, white, or brown”
The brass bands all were playing,
When I did turn as from a mount
On which Old Wonder dwelt,
My soul was bursting with the shout—
“Thank God for Roosevelt!”

Negro on Trial in Judge Latshaw's Court Shot by Wife of Police-man He Killed.
As the dramatic climax to the trial of William D. Jones, a Negro, who came here from Texas several months ago, charged with the murder of Arthur N. Dorsett, a city detective, the widow, Mrs. Anna Dorsett, rose from a chair among the spectators in the criminal court room at 5:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon and fired a shot at Jones. The bullet entered the Negro's left side under the shoulder, but, deflected by the bone, it followed a course under the skin and lodged six inches from where it entered. He was not seriously wounded.
Witnesses said that Mrs. Dorsett took the pistol, a 38-caliber weapon, from the folds of her handkercnielf, arose from her chair and leveled the gun at the Negro, who was seated at the counsel table. Before anyone could stop her she fired.
"I am avenged," she said.
Mrs. Helen Scharfer, a sister of Dorsett, who sat next to her, said: "Get him again."
But before she had an opportunity to fire a second shot, Joseph Stewart, a deputy marshal, rushed to her and took the gun from her hand. He said he was compelled to use force and that the sister sought to get possession of the pistol ahead of him.
Court automatically adjourned for several minutes, and the hearing proceeded. I. M. Lee, state's attorney, closed the arguments for the state and the instructions were read by the court. The jury retired to consider its verdict. It returned thirty minutes later with a verdict of guilty, carrying with it a prison sentence of fifty years.
With the firing of the shot by Mrs. Dorsett the court room was thrown into an uproar.
Judge Latshew beat a hasty retreat behind his bench. He later admitted that he thought it safer there.
"I was not particularly afraid of Mrs. Dorsett, because I knew that she was too sure a shot," Judge Latshew said. "What I feared was that the second woman, who had mounted a chair, would get possession of the gun and that she might have taken offense at some of the rulings of the court."
Mrs. Dorsett was formally arraigned by Judge Latshow and entered a plea of guilty. Her bail was fixed at $2,000, which was immediately signed by the cousin.
Dorsett was shot by Jones on August 7, while he was attempting to arrest the Negro. Shortly after the shooting Mrs. Dorsett appeared at the county jail, heavily veiled, and asked to see the Negro. She was refused admission and a deputy marshal called her by name. She was searched and a revolver was found in her possession. She admitted that she intended to shoot Jones.
SHOT IN OPEN COURT.
"I am avenged." she said.

COLORED ROYAL ARCH MASONS
MOURN DEATH OF MILTON
F. FIELDS, 33° MASON.
(By A. L. Thomas, Dep. G. H. P., Missouri Jurisdiction, Jefferson City, Mo.)
The recent death of Sir and Noble Milton F. Fields, $33^{\circ}$ Mason of St. Louis, Mo., has caused great sorrow among the various Masonic Organizations of this state and especially is this true of the Most Eminent Grand Chapter, Royal Arch Masons of Missouri and Jurisdiction. For a number of years Milton F. Fields has stood out foremost in Royal Arch circles as an *indefatigable advocate and staunch supporter of the principles of the craft. Time and again he has been honored for signal service rendered Royal Arch Masonry until he stood at the time of his death one of the most honored men of the craft.
Royal Arch Masonry has not only lost by his death a firm adherent but also a constructive force in molding the policies that have brought about such high degrees of efficiency in the work accomplished by the craft for the promotion of its grand ideals and ideas both of a theological and practical nature during the past few decades. Sir and Noble Milton F. Fields as a Royal Arch Mason was noted for his sense of fraternal devotion and spirit of self abnegation. His appearance in "The Grand East" was as the glittering beams of the majestic sun spreading peace, good will and joy in the fragrant dawn of an early summer morn. His every act in the sacred precincts of Royal Arch Masonry will forever live in the hearts of those left to mourn his loss as the act of a Master who walked close under the comforting shadow and tender influence of God. He was in his chivalrous attitudes and activities a Knight beyond reproach, and as a Mason in the full sense of the term by his life work he has written for himself upon the sacred and ancient annals of the craft a name glorious in its deserving fame; honorable because of the weight of its Christian character; sublime because of its golden charm and never dying influence wherever the profane tongue is silenced by the divine chords of Masonic melody. Milton F. Fields so lived that in dying his brethren while weighted with grief can yet rejoice in the happy trust that he has entered without successful denial into the sublime joys of eternal fellowship within the jeweled portals of the Grand Lodge where the High Priest is God, the Supreme Architect of the Universe.
Noble in his aspirations, democratic
in his mode of life, keenly alert to the general success and betterment of his race, active in the organization and development of all enterprises having to do with the upward trend of humanity and civilization whether of a secular or religious nature, in his death the world has lost the most potential force in the economy of Nature, "A Man." Devoted and zealous in all endeavors tending towards the preservation and inculcation of Royal Arch Masonry, both theoretical and practical, according to ancient and accepted usage, and in doing so himself a vial factor, Royal Arch Masonry has lost a brother whose place will not be easily filled. To the Most Eminent Grand Chapter of Missouri and Jurisdiction he was as the Bow to the Arrow, the Sun to the Flowery dels hidden by the golden foliage of a million oaks of the forest touched by the artful hand of Autumn, the Plow to him who makes the earth to blossom forth with the products of fertile field. A Christian citizen of the highest standard! a Race man with shield unblemished and bow erect; a Royal Arch Mason, loyal and noble to every trust, tried and found not wanting in every responsibility, Mason F. Fields has gone to a holy rest.
Mrs. Henry Murray of Holden, Mo, was visiting her son and daughter Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Murray, 1713 Forest avenue, last week.

For over 30 years Crossett Shoes have stood for unusually good leather—strong of body, fine in grain. That is what has given them their superior wearing qualities.
Today such leather can be used only in shoes costing at least $7.50 to $12.
Men pay more attention to values than they used to. They find that shoe dollars go further in a high-type shoe like Crossetts.
The shoe below is a fine example of Crossett style and comfort. Let us show it to you.

ALLEN CHAPEL.
By Della H. Mosee.
Old Folks' Day Sunday, September 30, was an ideal day for the ideal sermon that Dr. Wm. H. Thomas, the minister delivered the aged men and women present. The text was the 37th Psalm, 25th verse, subject "The Testimony of an old man." The service was well attended and equally enjoyed by all ages. No less edifying was Dr. Thomas' evening sermon. There was one addition. Dr. J. W. Hurse, D. D., of St. Stephen's Baptist Church and his Choir will have charge of the afternoon service Sunday, October 7 at 3:00 p. m. Dinner will be served in the lecture room by the Stewardess' Auxiliary for those who wish to remain to this service.

THE FEDERATION OF THE COL
ORED CHRISTIAN CHURCHES
OF GREATER KANSAS CITY.
To the Colored Brotherhood:
This is to call your attention to the meeting of the Inter-National Christian Missionary Convention in Kansas City, Mo., October 24-31, 1917. Also call your attention to the great need of a national meeting of Negroes of the church.
We consider we have in the meeting of the Inter-National Convention of Brotherhood here this fall, a great opportunity for a wise and helpful meeting in all respects for the Negro Christian Brotherhood.
The three Colored Christian Churches of Greater Kansas City, their friends and sister churches join in cordially inviting the Brotherhood to Kansas City, and will make you welcome.
Kansas City is in the territory of the disciples of Christ and is one of their strongholds, and the central states of the Mississippi Valley hold a big population of the Brotherhood of both races.
Kansas City can be easily reached by railroads from all sections of the country.
To the convention there will be special rates on all railroads to Kansas City.
We can meet on this occasion in Kansas City much cheaper in all respects than any other city.
We can witness the great Inter-National Convention and be in the atmosphere of one of the greatest religious Missionary bodies in the world. A part of the sessions will be held in the Second Christian Church, Twenty-fourth and Woodland Ave. The program of these sessions will be National in scope and nature. Some of our greatest preachers, speakers and workers of both races have accepted places on the program. The program will consist largely of symposium, conferences and round table talks respecting our local, state and National Missionary Educational work. The evening addresses will be made by men and women of the church of National reputation as convention and platform speakers.
Representatives and Secretaries of the National Missionary Boards, and our National Field Workers have promised to be on hand and take part in the program.
We claim the race has much in Kansas City, of which to be proud, and that you will enjoy. It will be well worth your time and money to spend a few days in Kansas City, especially on such a mission.
So, all in all, this will be a great meeting or you to attend, and we urge our ministers and faithful workers throughout the country to come.

"HIAWATHA" DELIGHTED.
Over a Thousand People Applaud Sweet Singers at the High School Auditorium.
The musical entertainment, "Hiawatha," at the High School auditorium last Friday, under the direction of Prof. R. G. Jackson, musical director of Western University, for the benefit of St. John's A. M. E. Church under the supervision of Rev. F. J. Peck, was one of the best entertainments ever staged by home talent in the history of Topeka. Over one thousand people, the best citizens of both races, witnessed the entertainment. Miss Beulah Douglas, teacher of music at Western University, led the orchestra, which was composed of Miss K. Newman, Messrs. L. Johnson, D. H. Beard, T. J. Murphy, W. H. Newman, F. Williams, C. H. Dillard and F. G. Cannon. Too much uraise cannot be given the leading characters in the play. Miss Etta G. Moten, who led the Indian maids in dance, is no doubt developing into a fine actress and performer. She is as good as we have ever seen and a sweet singer and her service is well worth $25 a night. Miss Antoinette Young, who was recently led to the altar by Prof. Jackson, a beautiful, charming young lady, played the part of Minnehaha. She certainly distinguished herself as a beautiful Indian maiden and there was no criticism to be offered as to her part in the play. She is a high class entertainer and singer and no finer could be seen in the best opera houses in the country. Mr. Fred M. Ware who played the part of Hiawatha has become famous as an actor.

This unsolicited letter was
handed to us by Mr. Upton at
the close of our examination,
and after his board had examin-
ed every certificate in force by
the American Woodmen. When
it is remembered that not a half
dozen fraternals have so high a
valuation, we should all rejoice
at this wonderful achievement
of Negro big business.
It affords me great pleasure to inform you that after carefully valuing your certificates for the closed calendar year, I find the American Woodmen stands well in the lead of most Fraternals of America with a valuation of 112.1 per cent. When it is considered that a large per cent. of the Fraternal Societies of the country have a valuation of less than 75 per cent, you are especially to be congratulated for the very excellent standing of the American Woodmen.
This letter proves to you the status of this society. Then you should waste no time to become a member. Local Office, 135-5, 18th St.

MILTON F. FIELDS PASSES AWAY
The funeral of Milton F. Fields, who died suddenly Friday, September 21, at his home, 2715 La Salle street, was conducted with high Masonic honors last Wednesday afternoon, at All Saints' Episcopal Church, by Onward Commandery, Knights Templar, No. 17, and True Blue Lodge No. 107, A. F. & A. M. The burial rites of the Episcopal Church were read by Rev. S. E. Arthur. The interment was made in Greenwood Cemetery.

Why does the A. M. E. Church require its preachers to pass an examination in chemistry? Wouldn't astronomy be more fitting?
If the lady school teachers succeed in organizing a boarding club some of the men teachers will be encouraged to get up a pressing and shining club.
In spite of many greasy protests from Texas the Eighth Illinois is about to go into training at Houston. But perhaps Houston has learned a little manners during the last few weeks.
If you have a curious dream, see anything curious in a spider's web, hear anything curious about your own people, remember, "go tell a white maan." In this way you will get your name in the Post.
Among the drafted soldiers the Negroes claimed less than one-third as many exemptions as the whites, proportionately, and are the only men really complaining because they are being held back from the big international fray. Still the white, Christian patriots hate their black defenders more and more each day.
A two-piece garment with frills of music, girdles of laughter, flounce of lovelliness and beauty comes "America First," the patriotic song offering to the Garden Theater Week of October 7th, with the usual matinees Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Unusual large company of talented performers are utilized in the presentation of this song play, handsome gowned chorus of bewitching beauties, and some original creations in terpischorean evolutions. Patriotic song numbers are carefully woven in by the producer, A. C. Langan, which brings to the spectator a feeling of first and last, "America First."
Beginning with a matinee Sunday, October 7, Dubinsky Brothers will present a new play by L. B. Parker, entitled "Poor Butterfly" at the Grand Opera House where this popular company has settled down for an entire season of permanent stock. Each of the two plays already presented with the Dubinsky Brothers have met with instant favor, and the clever members of the company have been warmly received by the theater-going public. Irene Daniel, Charles Cubine, Barney Dubinsky, Fred Butler and others in the long cast who were here before with the Dubinsky Brothers, have been virtually if not actually shaking hands with the audience at each performance, as many old friends and acquaintances have visited them.
"Poor Butterfly" like the song of the same name will, according to critics, will be just as popular, although the story of the play has nothing to do with the song, only that a great big heart story is told in each.
The bargain matinees on Sunday, Thursday and Saturday are popular. One thousand seats are offered at ten cents.
Statement of the ownershsisp, management, circulation, etc., required by the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912 of the Kansas City Sun, published weekly at Kansas City, Mo., for October 1, 1917.
Before me, a Notary Public in and for the State and County aforesaid, personally appeared Nelson C. Crews, who having been duly sworn according to law, deposes and says that he is the Editor of the Kansas City Sun and that the following is, to the best of his knowledge and belief a true statement of the ownership and management of the aforesaid publication for the date shown in the above caption required by the Act of August 24, 1912, embodied in Section 443, Postal Laws and Regulations.
That the name of the Publisher, Editor and Managing Editor is Nelson C. Crews of Kansas City, Mo. That the Business Manager is Willa M. Glenn, Kansas City, Mo. That the owner is Nelson C. Crews; that there are no known bondholders, mortgagees or other security holders owing one per cent or more of the total amount of bonds or securities.

THEY SAY
—That the Street Fair will surely come off in 1918. Watch for it.
—That Colored folks can't play baseball on a cool, cloudy day. Why?
—If they should stop killing hogs half the culdupopulation would surely die. What am life without a po'k chop?
—That there are a whole lot of things stirring in "society" right now. Are you interested?
—That any Negro who wants to work can find it now. If you don't thinnk so, see Rivers, at 1510 East 18th street.
—That a certain sister wrote Food Conservator Hoover to know how she could pickle watermelon to keep until next spring.
—That there are some Negroes who crave notoriety so badly that they'll risk going to jail to obtain it.
—That when a Negro offers his services and his life to his country and has been turned down, why should he worry?
—That in one of the hotels which is usually crowded to its capacity a guest had some difficulty in being served at dinner. Becoming impatient he called the bright looking young fellow standing at another table with his arms folded; in the usual manner of the Southernner says, "George, I'm in a hurry, I can't get waited on; will you take my order?" The waiter very courteously said, "Yes, sir," took the order and in a very few moments returned with it elegantly served. The gentleman turned to him and said "What is your name, my boy?" With a humorous grin the boy replied, "They call me billiard cue." "Well that's a very peculiar name; why do they call you that?" With a still broader grin upon his countenance the waiter replied, "They call me that because I work so much better with a good tip." The guest came through

varied one. He came originally from Des Moines, Ia., where he was engaged
4m pewspaper work, He heard the siren call of the large Bastern cities, how-
ever. He wanted to work and mingle with the rushing throngs of America’s
metropolis, and he went to New York.
Clarkson fitted in with the hustle and the bustle of New York, for Clark-
on was a hustler. He went into the advertising business and made a name
for himself as a man “with a punch,” a man who could put anything across.
‘Then there came the great American movement for preparedness. Those who
were financing the movement saw in Clarkson a man who could appeal to the
American people in a manner which would attract them. Clarkson became
the publicity man behind the movement, When the war came, Clarkson was
taken Into the council of national defense,
‘As secretary of the council he finds himself with the sturdy task of
handling the enthusiastic spirit of thousands of Americans who want to help.
He is a sort of official buffer—the man who separates the sheep from the
goats and who considers the weight of the various propositions of help that
‘are put up daily to the council of national defense.
Every moment of the day Clarkson is available, To him come appeals for aid
from every war administrator in Washington, He is the one man who has at
his finger-tips the mass of knowledge concerning people and things that makes
it possible for him to always recommend the right man to do the right thing.
‘The burden of his work is showing upon Clarkson; but he throws {t off
occasionally and takes himself to a tennis court, where he forgets the war
and his worries and displays his ability as a racqueter.

Eastern Artist Is at Work on Famous Capitol Frieze
A LARGE, cagelike, wooden structure, suspended from the balcony in the
rotunda of the capitol, attracts the attention of every visitor these days.
The answer to the invariable question is that Charles Ayer Whipple, an artist

the application of steam to travel and transportation; the development of
electricity; the freeing of Cuba; the building of the Panama canal, and the
development of the modern battleship and the airplane.
‘The capitol rotunda frieze was started by Constantino Brumidi, who car-
ried his work to the group representing Penn's treaty with the Indians, After
his death Filipo Costaggini carried out the idea, beginning with the three
Indians at the left side of the Penn group. His last group represents the dls-
eovery of gold In California, Costaggini died in 1907, and since then no
‘work has been attempted on the frieze,

TOWNS IN ENGLAND PLANNED
Garden Cities Show What Can Be Ac-
complished by Carefully Laying
Out Site Before Building.
fn the garden cities of England, such
‘as Letchworth and Hampstead, the
site of the town was purchased by a
company and the town was laid out as
a whole with reservations for public
and seml-public buildings, parks, play-
grounds and civic centers. ‘The loca-
‘ton of factories, business houses and
‘stations was designated and the sjtes
ot the residences were carefully
planned.
‘The result has been highly gratifying
from every point of view. The con-
venience and comfort of the citizens
have been promoted, a high degree
of beauty has been obtained and the
health of the communities has become
far famed.
‘When these garden cities are com-
pared with the towns that have grown
up without planning the value of town
planning becomes evident. In one the
needs of community life are recognized
and provided for; In the other the com-
munity is ignored and each individual
Is left to follow his own initiative. In
one a high measure of comfort is as-
sured the individual by his taking the
proper place in the community; in the
other the individuals clash in their
efforts to promote self-interest, with
result that the few secure the desired
comforts at the expense and’ disad-
vantage of the many.

Baseball Fan Dies in a Moment of Happiness
NX. YORK.—It was the ninth inning. The game stood 8 to 2 against the
home team. Two men were out, and William Koch, Jr., came to the bat.
In the crowd thet had gathered in the ball park on the old Morris estate in
the Bronx boys. Nine strange and unnamed young men had come to dispute
supremacy with them, The two men were out, one man was on base and
one run was needed to tle the score in the ninth. Young William picked a
bat with great care. He faced the pitcher with the confidence of youth.
“Strike one!” called the umpire.
‘The pitcher wound up again. He sent one over the plate with a snap
and there came a report that sounded like a rifle in full play. The ball sped
on and on over the head of the center fielder. The man on base ran home
and young Koch made the circuit of the bases,
Everybody lost sight of the elder man fn the general follification that
followed the home run until somebody called out that a man had fallen in

Rescuing
Hettie
By HI AKERS
1. pias ta ae a Boek
(Copyright, by W. G. Chapman.)
Hettie trudged back and forth from
the box factory where she earned just
enough to pay for the little, cold bed-
room, the seanty meals and the cheap
clothes, which were necessary to ex-
istence. Her hours were long and her
pleasures few, Was {t any wonder she
went when she could to the nickel
movies, and reveled in the delights of
another world than hers? Eyen when
the films did touch her own world, and
the poor working girl was lured away
{nto perilous paths, she so often was
rescued by handsome young men, or
kind, rich women that she “lived hap-
plly ever afterward.” Hettie shrank
from entering the paths of vice. ‘The
movies had done much for her in the
way of warning, more perhaps than
many sermons might have done. But
she was anly seventeen, and she
wanted some of the good things, some-
thing of the Joy of life. She did not
want to suffer the horrors that hap-
pened to the screen heroines, but she
did want to be “rescued,”
If only some rich woman would
adopt her. ‘That was the dream that
became her constant companion. It
had happened to these other girls quite
frequently, why not to her? ‘The hand-
some young hero seemed such a remote
possibility, that the probability of be-
ing adopted appeared td be a great
deal more likely to happen. In her
prayers for the latter boon Hettie had
especially stipulated that the woman
must be rich, for to be adopted by a
poor woman, and: put into the kitchen
to do all the work did not seem to offer
a pleasing alternative, It might prove
an even worse life than that of the box
factory.
Never having remembered her own
parents, there entered also into her
dream the longing for the kind of af-
fection which only the mother heart
can give, It is not to be supposed that

the handsome young man played no
part in the girl's vision, No, he was
always there, But she reasoned he was
‘quite sure to appear at the proper time
{f she could go into the soctety where
he was to be found. Clearly the only
way out of it was to be adopted.
It had not entered Hettie’s mind
that some slight preparatory education
in grammar, and the mode of speech
required in cultured soclety might help
some in the process of acquiring an
adopted mother. She had had a rudl-
mentary school training in the institu-
tion from which she went to the box
factory, but her association with the
girls of that section of the town, had
not added to the elegance of her lan-
guage.
Poor little Hettie! she was bright,
kindly, and well-meaning, and her de-
sires were only the normal ones of
youth, Once She told a girl compan-
ion of her wish to be adopted, and was
so laughed at and ridiculed, that she
ever after kept her alreastles to her-
self, But her dream would not eown,
It became # kind of obsession,
Whether it was because her viston
was-in this misty region while her
small body was in the path of rushing
trafic in the great city, or whether
fate took a hand, there came the awful
impact of the automobile, and Hettie
knew no more till she awoke in a nar
row, white bed, and looked up into the
faces of a doctor and nurse, She gazed
about for the adopted mother, but
there were only nurses moving around
the place. Clearly something had hap-
pened, and the adopted mother ought
to be a part of it, Wihen she tried to
move she found It very painful, and
she was quite stiff with bandages, she
asked for an explanation, and was tald
she had been struck by an automobile,
but that she would be alt right ina
few days, She asked whose automo-
bile it was, and the nurse answered it
was Mrs, Burlson’s, a very kind Indy
who was yery sorry, and had brought
her there, and told them to do every-
thing eee and that she would be
ible for the pay, Hettie felt
sure her dream was coming true, and
She asked the nurse when the lady was,
coming again.
“She didn't mention anything about
coming again,” she answered. ‘Then
seeing the girl's disappointed look, she
added: “But I dare say she will,”
“Of course she will,” was Hettte’s
confident reply.
Hettle suffered a great deal of pain.
But after all, she told herself she must
expect that. All the girls on the screen
who had acquired adopted mothers,
and lived happily ever after, had suf-
fered in some way beforehand,
‘The next day she was told a mes-
Senger had come from Mrs, Burlson,
and did she wish to see him? Of course
she did.
A young man came In carrying fruit
and flowers. He could not for one min-
ute have been taken for the handsome
hero, His face was quite plain,
bronzed, lean, and with the disndvan-
tage of a turn-up nose, But his eyes
were honest, his mouth kindly, and his
form straight, and well knit. He came
with a mixture of pity and diffidence to
the forlorn little figure on the cot. He
told her Mrs, Burlson wanted to know
how she was, and had sent her the
fruit and flowers. Rather awkwardly
he told her how sorry he was. Then
Hettle noticed he wore a chauffeur's
dress, and guessed he was the one who
ran her down. But she was too busy
thinking of Mrs, Burison to bear him
any grudge, and she asked him when
the lady was coming? He did not seem
to know, but said he would tell Mrs.
Burlson that she would like to see her,
‘The cheuffeur came every day to see
her. The second time it was to tell her
that Mrs, Burlson was out of town, but
that she had left word for him to in-
quire every day about Miss Hettle Bax-
ter. She found out his name was
Tullius Frost, and was always glad to
see him, because he brought some mes-
sage from her probable adopted moth-
er. Julius was at first so filled with
remorse at having driven over the girl,
he was more awkward than usual in
expressing himself, but after a time
this wore off a bit, and he cheered the
patient with jolly stories, and cheering
promises, of how he wanted to take
her for some rides in that very car
when she was able to go. All this
seemed in Hettie’s mind to point to the
fact of a probable adoption into the
family,
At last one day Mrs, Burlson came.
She was a very pretty, beautifully
gowned young woman, much too young
to be thought of as a mother, even an
adopted one, and she spoke to Hettie
in a cold patronizing way that so
crushed and disappointed the girl, that
Tullus found her in tears, He was so
kindly sympathetic that he drew from
her the cause, She had hoped to find
some one who would want her, even
take her in her home—as her own,
Then Julius found voice for the
words he had wanted to speak.
“Little girl,” he said, “I want you
awfully. I'd take better care of you
than Mrs, Burlson, It wouldn't be lots
of money, but it would be a comfy lit-
tle flat for you and me. And she never
could love you half as much as I do.”
‘The answer must have been quite
eatisfactory, for the day Hettie was
able to leave the hospital-on the arm
of Julius, she was heard to say softly
to him: “Honey, this beats getting
adopted like dollars do coppers.” |

authorized by congress at the last session have
been completed, including an earlier distribution,
the Indians will have received from the govern-
ment $10,585,088. In addition, during the last
three years about $4,000,000 has been advanced to
stock Lo’s ranges on varlous reservations and to
purchase farm equipment. From this capital in-
vestment he {s now receiving returns in some in-
stances of more than 50 per cent.
The Indian office has Just completed the pay-
ment of $633,300 to the members of the Chicka-
saw Nation, the distribution of which was au-
thorized in 1914, Further payments authorized
this year began on August 15. ‘These will amount
to $6,289,700 to the Choctaws, $938,100 to the
Seminoles, $1,260,800 more to the Chickasaws,
making {n all, including the earller distribution,
$9:071,500 which these Indians have received in
cash,
To the Chippewa Indians in Minnesota pay-
ments will be made under the recent act amount-
ing to $1,518,788. The adults competent to take
care of their interests will receive thefr share of
the money. In the case of minors and others the
money will be deposited in banks to be used for
thelr benefit under the supervision of the officers
of the ‘Indian service. —
Of greater Interest, however, ts the fact that
the American Indiun Is not only the holder, but
also the producer of wealth. He {s beginning to
put money into the bank himself as well as having
the government put It in for him.
‘This fs largely the result of a plan to enable
‘him to make use of the natural resources avall-
able on the various Indian reservations heretofore
utilized to a great extent by white men for thelr
own benefit under the leasing system. Only last
week there were put on sale at the Chicago mar-
ket 50 carlondy of cattle from Indian herds. In
many places the Tndian has shown that he can-
not only raise cfttle, but also obtain the top
market price.
During the Inst three years about $4,000,000 has
been expended in the purchise of cattle, sheep
and horses to stock the Indian ranges. ‘The han-
dling of these herds by the Indians has more than
Justified the Investment. For example, the tribal
herd placed on the Crow Indian ‘reservation in
Montana in the spring of 1914, at a cost of $405,-
108, showed a net profit on December 31, 1915, of
$207,601. ‘The tribal herd of sheep on the Plea-
rilla reservation showed gross returns in the first
year of $17,250 on an investment of $23,477.
‘The live stock on the varions Indian reserva-
tions 1s worth more than $25,000,000, as compared
with $22,777,075 in 1913. In addition to this in-
crease of more than $5,000,000 in value the In-
dians have sold $5,498,266 worth of stock and
slaughtered $2,307,481 worth for their own needs,
‘As a herdsman the Indian has been particularly
successful. The highest price paid on the Chi-
cago market for a grass-fed steer was recently re-
celved by an Indian of the Crow tribe on a day
when the general market value of the cattle was
lower than on other days of the seasoy.
Gradually the original unhyphenated American
1s taking possession of his own again. He ts man-
aging his own farm and reaping his own harvests,
Leases of allotted lund decreased in number from
28,847 in 1913 to 10,426 In 1915, a change in acre-
age of from 3,109,209 to 1,868,779. In 1915 the
area of tribal lands leased was 8,122,918 acres.
in 1913 was 10,568,048,
The Indian 1s becoming a competitor at the
agricultural fatr with the white man, He is rats-
ing his own supplies, relieving the government to
a considerable extent of the necessity of making
gratuitous issues of food under treaties to Induce
him to remain where he is on the reservation tn-
stead of reverting to the nomadic habits of his
forefathers.
Nor 1s he any longer a vanishing race. The
number of Indians increased trom 800,980 In 1913
to 809,011 In 1915. Gradually the tendeney to-
ward tuberculosis, trachoma and kindred diseases,
which prevailed among them to an alartiing ex-
teat, Is belng checked. ‘This Is due to a medical
campaign and the {tnprovement of housing con-
ditions.
It appears, therefore, that the turntng point in
the history of the Indians has been reached. His
numbers are increasing, his wealth 1s growing and
he has taken a place among the white men as the
producer of wealth In a system of civilization with
which his own manner of living was in direct con-
flict,
As farmers, the Indian has shown the white
man something worth while, particularly in the
growing of corn, It 1s interesting to note that he
planted pumpkins or squash among the corn
hillecks, as does the white man now, and also
sowed beans where the vines could twine them-
velves about the cornstalks,
VESSEL IN CONSTANT PERIL
Any Moment May Be the Last of Ship
That Braves the Terrors of
the Arctic Seas.
“Any vessel navigating in arctic
waters may at any time be crushed
so suddenly that nothing below can
be saved. At Etah,” Robert EB. Peary
writes in the Century, “I have always
made preparations for such an emer+
gency, and had all the pemmican, tea,
coffee, biscuits, sugar, oil, ammunl-
tion—in fact, all the essentials neces-
sary to sustain life and health—
placed on deck close to the rail, where
it could easily be thrown off to the
Jee. In addition to this, the whale-
boats, fully equipped for a week or
ten days’ voyage, were ready at a mo-
ment's notice to be lowered. Each
boat, besides the required complement
of oars, oarlocks, boathooks, a liquid
compass and a bailer, contained pem-
mican, conveniently packed in six-
pound tins; biscuits, 50 pounds; coffee,
10 pounds; compressed tea, 5 pounds;
sugar, 10 pounds; condensed milk, 10
cans; oll, 5 gallons; a small oilstove,
1 rifle and 100 cartridges; 1 shotgun
and 50 shells; 1 box of matches in a
tightly corked bottle; 1 hatchet;
knives; a can opener; needles and
thread, and medical supplies consist-
ing of quinine, astringent, bandages,
cotton, gauze, boracie acid, dusting
powder, catgut and lniment, And
every member of the party, including
the Eskimos, had a small bundle of
extra clothing packed and stood ready
to leave the ship tmmediately after
throwing off the supplies and lower
ing the boats,” |
He Was On His Way.
McCrea worked in a powder factory,
and usually went home to meals with
his chum, O'Reilly, The latter was go-

“Where's Pues that he's not wid
you today, Mr, O'Reilly?”
“Shure an’ didn’t he lave the factory
in a great hurry an hour ago, ma'am,”
answered O'Reilly,
“An’ did he say where he was goin'?”
she inquired,
“Not a word did he say,” answered
O'Reilly; “nor I don't think he knew

he went off wid the roof an’ half of

WO?22! LO THED SHARE
In one of the passages from the description of
the raid made by General Sullivan on the Five
Nations in his memorable punitive expedition dur-
ing the Revolutionary war, it Is set forth that
among the rows of corn were found cucumbers
and watermelons so deliclous that the raiders sat
down to eat of them, even though the hour was
two o'clock-in the morning. The Indians intro-
duced melons of all kinds from southern climes,
and by extreme care adapted them to northern
temperatures,
It was nfter the advent of Columbus that the
Indians of this continent became proficient in the
cultivation of the “Irish” potato. The tuber was
brought from the Andean heights by Spanish ad-
venturers and was introduced in the Southern
part of the United States, Before the American
Revolution, however, the Indian experts were de-
veloping many varieties of it and the Iroquois
were especially proflelent as growers of the root,
of which there are about 200 varieties, Potato
meal was originally an Indian product. Yams and
sweet potatoes were raised in abundance,
‘The Indian farmer also raised many kinds of
vegetables and was experimenting with many
others before the advent of the European races,
Washington, D. C.—An expedition organized by
the bureau of American ethnology of the Smith-
sonian institution and the Museum of the Amer-
fean Indian, Heye Foundation of New York City,
under the Immediate direction of Mr. F, W. Hodge,
ethnologist In charge of the bureau mentioned,
has just concluded its first senson of excavating
among the ruins of Hawikuh in western New
Mexico. This pueblo was one of the famed
“Seven Citles of Cibola,” which was seen by Mar-
cos de Niza, n Franciscan friar, In 1539, and was
the scene of the death of his nezro guide and com-
Panton, In the following year the pueblo was
stormed by Franelseo Vasquez Coronado, the cele-
brated Spanish explorer, who almost lost his life
in the attack, The Zunt occupants of Hawiluh
fled to thelr stronghold a few miles away; the
Spanish took possession of thelr village, which
Coronado called Grenada, and while there wrote
his report to the viceroy of Mexteo, giving an
account of his expedition up to that time and
sending varlous products of the country and ex-
amples of native art.
The excavations were commenced at the close
of May by Mr. Hodge, assisted by Mr. Alanson
Skinner and Mr. B. F. Coflin of the Museum of
the American Indian. Work was begun In a great
refuse heap forming the western slope of the ete-
vation on which Hawikuh is situated. ‘This refuse
was found to contain many burials of Zn! dead,
of which there were three types—remains ere-
mated and doposited In einerery vessels accom-
panied by food and water vessels; others buried
at length, or In abnormal postures without accom-
paniments; and usually dismembered; others
still deposited at length with hend directed enst-
ward ond with them numerous vessels of eurth-
enware, grent quantities of food, and the per-
sonal tools and ornaments of the deceased. In
all, 287 graves were opened during the three
months-devoted to the work In which quantities
of pottery vessels of various forms and with a
great range of decorative painting, were uncoy-
ered, Among burials of the third type mentioned
were several skeletons of members of the Zun!
Priesthood of the Bow, with thelr war parapher-
nalia, including bows and arrows, sacre@ paint,
war clubs, and thelr personal or ceremonial be-
longings.
A Franelscan mission was established at Havi-
kwh in 1639 and continued in operation until 1670,
when the pueblo was abandoned on account of
Apache depredations. Considering the length of
time since the village was forsaken by its inhab-
itants, the remains were in a remarkably good
state of preservation. The deposit of great quan-
tities of food In the graves, espectally boiled corn
‘on the cob, had the effect of decaying the bons
but of preserving: the materials that usually more
rendily perish, such as baskets, fabrics, and ob-
Jects of wood, many of which were saved by Im-
‘mediate treatment, Many very beautiful things
much to the care of the Indian farmers, for the
Indian was an able pomologist. Tt was not un-
usual 150 years ago for Indian orchards to have
1,500 trees, all of which had been duly pruned
and cultivated by the people we are prone to re-
gard us nomadic savages. To the world the Indian
introduced such fruits as the persimmon, the paw-
paw, the pineapple and the Virginia strawberry.
Primitive as the manual part of the farming of
the Indians may seem, thelr agriculture did very
well with the facilitles which were available.
Selence points strongly to the theory that the
horse had {ts origin i this Western world, but
the. animal disappeared many neons before the
aborigine® appeared, ‘The Indian had nelther
horses nor bullocks, and had he developed a plow
he would have had no animals to draw it. He had
no wheels, rakes or such devices, for the wheel
had never been In use among primitive races of
the Americans. The dog-drawn litter, or travols,
was about as near as the Indian ever got to a
wagon, His agricwitural implements were few
and simple. What with his hoe und mattock, his
willow rake and his planting stick, he had run
the gamut of tools, What he lucked in equipment
he made up !n enthusiasm and skill,
found In association with the remains Include
eight objects of turquoise mosdic, consisting of
ornamental hair combs, ear pendants, and hair
ornaments, some of which are so well executed
as to be among the finest examples of encrusted
turquoise ever found in America, and far exceed.
ing the mosate work of the Hopi Indians In Arl-
zona today. Of the fabrics, various examples
were recovered, and indeed in one instance the
clothing of a woman was so well preserved that
it was possible to study the character of her
dress from neck to feet.
‘The pottery of the Hawikuh people, as men-
tloned, possesses a wide range of decoration and
coloring. Most of the designs are geometric, but
numerous highly conventionalized figures of birds,
as well as many lifelike forms of quadrupeds,
the eagle, the butterfly, the tadpole, and the corn
plant were found. Many of the vessels are deco-
rated with a distinet glaze, black and green pre-
dominating. The vessels consist chiefly of bowls,
ranging in size from tiny toy affairs to some as
large as 15 inches in diameter; but there are also
large and small water jugs, and black, undeco-
rated cooking pots, duck-shaped vessels, and the
lke.
The finds include, among others, the cere-
monial paraphernalia of a medicine man, compris-
ing his medicines; a turkey's egg containing the
bones of the embryo and accompanied by a food
bowl; several skeletons of eagles, turkeys, and
dogs that had been ceremonially buried, and de-
posits of pottery that had been broken In sacrt-
fice and deposited in the cemetery not as burial
accompaniments, It was the custom of the Zunis
of Hawikuh to “Kil” all the vessels deposited
with their dead by throwing them Into the graves,
and this was likewise the ense with other house-
shold utensils, such as metates and manos used
in grinding corn, Some of the vessels escaped in-
Jury, while all of the fragments of the broken
ones were carefully gathered and will be repaired,
‘The site of Hawikuh covers an area of about
750 "by 850 fect, so that only a comparatively
small part of the site was excavated during this
season. The refuse was found to attain a depth
of 14% feet in the western slope, and It will
probably be found to reach a depth of at least
18 feet before the walls of the summit of the ele-
vation are reached,
An Interesting discovery consitte of the rempalng
of many walls entirely beneath this great deposit
of refuse, showing that the site was occupled in
prehistoric times long before Hawikuh itself was
built.

LESSON FOR OCTOBER 7
PSALMS OF DELIVERANCE,
‘These Psalms breathe the spirit of
the true patriot. ‘The Psalmist sees
his afflicted country suffering for the
sins of the people, prays for their
|restoration to the Divine favor, and
with the eagle eye of faith anticipates
tha Sostul Gay. ve. bpleleaan and Ga:
poral blessings because of restoration
to the Divine favor. Doubtless such
patriotism would be pleasing to the
Lord on the part of us all.
Psalm 85,
|. Praises for Mercies Received
(wv. 1.8),
Praise is given for
(1) Deliverance from Captivity (v-
».
He had in mind the specific mercies
of a given time; perhaps it was one
ke the oppressions of the Philistines
from which they had been delivered.
(2) Forgiveness of Sin (vv. 2, 8).
“Thou hast forgiven the iniquity—
covered all their sin.” God’s restora
tlon was the proof that he had par-
doned. Great indeed was the sin of
-Incob, but God's forgiveness was great-
‘er. He is pecullarly a God of mercy.
Having forgiven the sins his anger is
‘taken away. He stayed his hand from
the judgment which would have justly
fallen, to show his mercy,
| lt Prayer for Restoration From
| Backsliding (vv. 4-7).
| He knew how worthless the outward
‘blessings of the Lord would be unless
the people inwardly turned to the
‘Lord. He, therefore, besought the
Lord to give them the greater blessing,
‘that of a change of heart. Without the
change of heart forgiveness would be
futile, A change of heart can only be
by God's help.
(1) That God would turn the hearts:
at his people toward himself (v, 4).
Knowing the people's utter helpless-
ness to turn to God, he erled out to
God to save them by turning them to-
himself, He knew that God's anger
| could not turn from the people as long
as they were impenitent.
(2) ‘That God would take away the
very remembrance of their sins (vv.
5-7).
(a) The ending of his anger (v, 5).
| The desire seems to be that he would
wipe out the very marks of his dis-
lilesaes by not longer allowing pun-
ishment to be meted out to them.
| (b) The return to the people's Joy
, 6).
Their Joy could only be realized
through a revival from God. ‘The
Psalmist now becomes more bold In his
requests,
(c)Shall show them mercy (v. 7).
“Make it visible,” ts his cry. God's
Judgment was most real, His desire is
that his merey would be just as real.
IIL, Exultant Anticipation (vy, 8-13).
_ Having spoken the sentiment of the
repentant people, the poet expresses
confidence of the Lord’s response, $0
faithful is God that those who sin-
cerely pray to him can go forward
with the assurance of petitions granted.
(1) “He will speak peace” (v. 8).
He knew that a gentle answer would
come, but its continuance would de-
pend upon the fidelity of the people.
‘Turning to folly would provoke again
his wrath,
(2) Will bring his salvation near
( %). *
| Only as his salvation was near could
glory be in the land.
(8) Devise a way by which “Mercy
and truth,” “Righteousness and peace,”
‘may be united (vy. 10, 11).
He did not suggest a way. He may
‘not have known it. Faith now sees
the way in Christ, In him such a
union has been blessedly effected.
(4) The land shall become fruitful
(vy. 1),
When sin is removed, temporal pros
perity shall follow, Earth's barren-
ness is due to sin, When the curse 1s-
removed fruitfulness shall follow.
(5) Righteousness shall be the
guide of his people (v.12).
In that golden, glad age God's right-
eous ways will leave a track in which:
his own may walk with security.
Psalm 126,
1. The Fact of Zion's Deliverance
(vv. 1, 2),
(1) By whom (v. 1). The Lord,
(2) Effect uf (vv. 1,2).
(a) The people were scarcely able
to believe it. So sudden and unexpect-
ed was their deliverance that it
seemed tc them as a dream, They ex-
pressed their feeling in Joyful laughter.

ance as marvelous, and ascribed it to
