Negroes of Kansa The Negroes The public invited. The Kansas City Sun To the Editor of the Sun: I am not acquainted with Mr. Roscoe C. Jamison. I wish I were. But right here I must say a few words in appreciation of his genius. I have been reading with increasing pleasure his poems as published in the Kansas City Sun. There is all the difference in the world between mere versification and poetry. Unfortunately, many of our poets do not seem to appreciate this fact. But Mr. Jamison's poetry is poetry. It is characterized by warmth and feeling and the gift of expression. It is forcible. It possesses literary finish. It is excellent. The poem just published in the Sun, entitled "To Those Who Wait," is masterly. It has the swing and style of Ingalls' poem on "opportunity" and is equally meritorious. Let us hope that Mr. Jamisons' talent may continue to flower and develop. His is a clear, limpid and wholesome voice in this age of crass materialism. WILLIAM E.

And be it said that there are no people more ready to respond with the desirable money and spirit than our own. The Negro, by all means, wants his country to win, and money being one of the greatest assets of the war, he is more than willing to contribute his share. This is undiluted patriotism on the Negro's part, especially since he has already proved his readiness to assume his part in braving what physical dangers may be involved across the sea. But there is also a selfish appeal in this "Liberty Loan" for the Negro. He not only becomes co-heir with the whites in the matter of real payable interest, but he is cinching his future claims of citizenship. If we become bondholders are we not adding to our strength in playing a part in all the plans of this new democracy? We must grab every opportunity to All Rec PHOTO SANTEE YOU Reading Left to Right: Top row—1st Bottom row—2nd Lie link our own interest with the fate of this country, so that when we, ourselves, move earnestly for all the rights of citizenship we will have the powerful arguments that we met every American requirement expected from us and in return we expect America to do her duty toward us. Therefore, we urge every Negro to buy bonds. Buy as many as you can. Put something in your government if you expect something out. Remember these bonds pay you four per cent interest—a good investment. Negroes are responding to the call all over the country. Colored soldiers in Texas subscribed over $100,000. What will Kansas City Negroes do? Flash: "Tulsa, Okla., Negroes subscribed $100,000. Here's a town of comparatively few Colored people. Again: What will we do? --- Our boys are being called to be sent, beginning October 27, to the various Training Camps for service. Are we making any preparations to give them a fitting send-off and to cheer them on their way? The white citizens escorted their boys in automobiles and with bands to the Union Station. Can't we do the same? Let's get busy, boys. Call The Sun for a Conference. APPROVES MOVING NEGRO TROOPS. A Prominent White Man Takes High Ground on Justice to Negro Soldiers. To Whom It May Concern: I want to say that the War Department has made a wise, humane move in sending Colored troops from the South to Kansas. First, it will acclimate them and fit them for the trenches in France. Second, the color line in the South is so marked that large numbers of men wearing Uncle Sam's uniforms will not allow themselves to be snubbed, as the descendants of their former masters would want to do, and there would always be danger of more Brownsville affairs. But Kansas, Sunny Kansas, the old home of John Brown, where the first blood for freedom was shed; Kansas, the guiding star of this land of the noble free; here in Kansas is where our Colored brothers who are willing to make the supreme sacrifice that a government of the people, by the people and for the people may be established throughout the earth; here they can be looked upon and treated Received Commissions October 15 K.C.

One week has now passed since we announced our handling of raincoats, cravenettes and gambardines for men, women and children, and the interest shown by the public in taking advantage of our offer to save money by making a trip to our place is certain evidence of the fact that the Negro is waking up. He is acting in time, he is not waiting for the cold blasts of winter and the high prices of hard times to catch him unprepared. At this time we are emphasizing our invitation to the public to give us an immediate call, save money and take your choice of the biggest line of raincoats of all kinds in the city. G. A.

WATKINS LAID TO REST. The funeral of John Twi Watkins, Kansas City's foremost undertaker, was observed at the Second Christian Church, 24th and Woodland, Monday, October 15, at 2:00 p. m. The body was carried to the Church at 10:00 a. m. under an escort of Masons and there lay in state until! 2:00 o'clock p. m., where it was viewed by hun dreds of friends, white and Colored. The funeral service was held under the auspices of Rone Lodge No. 25, A. F. & A. M., of which he was an honored member, assisted by the following organizations to which he also belonged: Cosmopolitan Lodge No. 2935, G. U. O. of O. F., E. A. Walker Lodge, U. B. F. No. 257, and Eureka Lodge No. 5, K. of K., Richmond, Ind. Mr. Watkins also had the distinction of being a 33d degree Mason, having that honor conferred upon him by the Indiana jurisdiction. He was a deacon and also treasurer of the Church where the funeral obsequies were held. Many resolutions from the several orders to which he belonged, various clubs and his professional associates were engrossed and sent to the family. The floral offerings were the 5, 1917 e, 1st Lieut. Hedgins, 1st Lieut. Fairley. used, 2nd Lieut. Banks. most massive, beautiful and profuse ever seen at a funeral in this city and while none were placed upon the casket which was the most imposing yet of simple design yet the altar, chancel and railing were literally covered with flowers and underneath and all around the casket they were banked while upon the chandellers and along the walls near the altar many beautiful designs were suspended. The following relatives and friends from out of the city attended the funeral: Mrs. A. T. Guy of Richmond, Ind.; Mrs. Ida A. Tanner of Kokomo, Ind.; Mr. Henry Watkins of Kokomo, Ind.; Mrs. M. A. McCurdy of Richmond, Ind. The remains were laid to rest in a specially constructed vault in beautiful Highland cemetery, with the impressive ceremony of the Masonic fraternity. The order of services at the church were as follows: Song—"Nearer My God to Thee'..... ...Choir Invocation.....Rev. S. W. Scott Scripture.....Rev. S. A. Terry Song—"He Included Me".....Choir Resolutions.....Undertak Mrs. M. A. McCurdy, Richmond, Mo. Song—"Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" .....Miss Kathrine Adams Sermon.....Rev. Wm. Alphin The sermon which was delivered by he pastor, Rev. William Alphin, was one of the best and most impressive ever heard on such an occasion. By Mrs. M. A. McCurdy of Richmond Ind. In preparing to make an approach upon the sacred bier wherein lieth the inanimate form of our beloved brother in Christ, John T. Watkins, who departed this life October 11, 1917, age 44 years and 7 months, the poet lends us language whereby to give expression to the desires of our heart, in saying that all things in nature must fade and die, the flowers, God's mute messengers of peace and beauty, birds of the air that gladden our hearts by their sweet songs, the leaves of the forest receive their baptism—that something that causes them to loose their hold on the branches of the trees, fall to mother earth and die. So man the highest order of creation, must through the Divine will of our Heavenly Father, begin to live. move and have their being, reap the reward of an earnest and careful vocation, then fade-waste away and die as old our lamented brother, John T. Watkins. We remember that the purpose of Christ's mission to earth was the development of ideal man and womanhood; this purpose was manifested in our deceased brother. At the age of 15 years he gave himself to Christ. Time grew apace, the fruits of the spirit of Christ predominated in his soul causing him to strive to please and plan for the comfort and happiness of others ever realizing that, to live for others meant life eternal for him. The gentleness and love that dwelt in his soul from boyhood assisted in bringing to pass perfection, as the ripeness of fruit and the maturity that dwells in harvest. This gentleness of soul won for him many friends and the intense love of moral beauty cherished by him made him a Christian citizen, a desirable neighbor, a devoted and thoughtful brother and a loving and indulgent husband, ever conceiving and putting in practice the desires of his soul, to arrange for the present and future comfort and happiness of his wife to whom he was wedded April 27, 1909, being the possessor of these characteristics, in approaching him concerning the salvation of his soul, one could easily glean that he was happy in the knowledge of Christ being his shepherd. And he was gently and peacefully being led along fearing no evil; neither was he afraid as he approached the end of life because of the precious promises on record in the Book of Books (the Bible) in word, deed and thought. Our deceased brother allowed the lives of great men to remind him that we can make our lives sublime and in dying leave behind us footprints on the sands of time, worthy of emulation. He is gone, leaving to mourn his loss a loving faithful and devoted wife who never tired in caring for him during his long and patient suffering. He also leaves five brothers, two sisters and many relatives and friends who bow in humble submission to the will of God our Heavenly Father, all of whom believe that his spirit is today basking in the sunlight of the love of Christ on the beautiful isle of "Some where." WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENT. The Race's Greatest Base Ball Pitcher and One of Its Most Charming Young Women to Be Married Soon. On Tuesday Mrs. Alberta Adams, 919 Michigan avenue, entertained with a very elaborate afternoon luncheon in honor of her sister, Miss Eleanor Watson, who announced her engagement to Mr. John Donaldson. The dining room, with curtains drawn, was illuminated by the lights of different colors. The table in the center of which stood a cut glass vase laden with American Beauty roses was laid for the eight lady guests. The menu was in strict accord with the occasion. Music marked the closing indulgence of the afternoon. The Sun Goes to 36 States and Canada. Are Your Relatives and Friends Getting It? PRICE, 5c. SUPREME COUNCIL MEETS. (Special to Kansas City Sun.) Baltimore, Md., Oct. 18.—Baltimore does big things. Here are five of them: 1. School No. 112 has the largest enrollment of any Negro, if not other school, in the country, 1900, Principal Murphy. 2. Mr. Brown owns and operates a Grove and the Starlight Steamboat of 800 passenger capacity and not a white man lays a finger to the operation of either of these projects. 3. The Afro-American Ledger has just installed a Goss-Comet Press where a roll of paper is started at one end and at the other the Afro-American comes out folded and ready to be read. The only thing of its kind in any Negro establishment in the world. 4. Bethel A. M. E. Church is one of the largest (if not the largest) and most varied Negro Churches in existence; at least the heaviest in debt, $75,000.00. Within 8 months under the peerless, inspiring and unrivaled leadership of the matchless divine, W. Sampson Brooks, $20,000.00 of this has been wined out. 5. Hiram Consistory No. 2, A. A. S. R. of Freemasonry, entertained the United Supreme Council, 3rd Degree, A. A. S. R. F. M. of the Southern Jurisdiction of the U. S. S. A. laying upon the altar of Bethel Church Sunday night $155.00 and upon the secretary's desk Monday morning more than $200.00 having exalted 100 sublime princes and presented 26 candidates for the honorary 33d degree. Space permits only to mention the allocation (address) of M. P. S. B. Commander Robert L. Pendleton. This elicited the favor and encouraging comment of the following in attendance: Rev. Lyons, Ex-Minister to Liberia; Bishop Hurst of Florida; Rev. Dickerson, P. G. Master of Florida; the venerable Rev. Peck, uncle of our Revs. Jesse F. and Will H. Peck; Rev. Hurley of West Virginia; Rev. Weaver and others together with Ill. Bolden, Commander in Chief of Hiram Consistory and Deputy Evans, Grand Master of Missouri. The keynote of this address to the several Valleys was discipline, urging the less thoughtful of our people to withhold boisterous speech on the streets in these troublous times, endure with patience, fear no man, trust God and be prepared when called, as called we must be before the end. Too much praise for the above mentioned rare achievement cannot be given to the untiring efforts of Commander in Chief Bolden and Grand Master Joseph P. Evans, Deputy for Missouri. The latter stands out unique and alone in a class by himself. Our boys who have gone to the front are offering all to fight for us, for democracy and liberty. They have not asked "is it a good investment?" They have said it is our duty. They have given up home, father, mother, brother, sister and sweetheart that their dear ones may be saved from the terrors that have come to those across the water. They are entitled to the best—food, clothes, ammunition—that the war may be ended quickly and they may return. It is up to us to see that they get the best. There is one way—the purchase of Liberty Bonds. Every reader of this paper should have one or more Liberty Bonds. The big drive is on. Do your bit—BUY YOUR LIBERTY GOLD BOND TODAY! REV. W. W. S.

To the Colored Brothernood: { ‘This is to call your attention to the meeting of the Inter-National Chris- tian 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 op- portunity for a wise and helpful meet- ing in all respects for the Negro Christian Brotherhood. The three Colored Christian Churches of Greater Kansas City, their friends and sisger churches join in cordially inviting the Brotherhood ‘to Kansas City, and will make you wel- come. “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 spe- cial rates on all railroads to Kansas City. We can meet on this occasion in ‘Kansas City much cheaper in all re. spects than any other city. We can witness the great Inter-Na- tional Convention and be in the at- mosphere of one of the greatest re- ligious Missionary bodies in the worla. ‘A part of the sessions will be held in the Second Christian Church, Twen- ty-fourth and Woodland Ave. The pro- gram of these sessions will be Na- tional 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 Kan- sas 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, especial- ly on such a mission. | So, all in all, this wM be a great meeting ror you to attend, and we urge our ministers and faithful work- ers throughout the country to come.

His Talk of the Old Fishing Hole and the Summer Camping Trip Suc- ceeded Where Medicine Failed. ‘The doctor faked Slowly opgtalre The little boy's iliness was, not yield: ing. to treatment as he would have wished. He had been doing all that medicine would do for the boy, but the delay in calling him had given the sickness such a start that he had made little progress in checking it. So he went upstairs with a heavy heart, Jimmie smiled as the young doctor came into his room, Jimmie was the smiling kind, though he had found it hard to be cheerful, ‘The doctor had many other calls to make, and le left soon with the prom- ise to call again that night. When he came again the little patient was worse, though he probably did not realize it, The doctor took bis pulse and his temperature and aszed the usual questions of his mother. ‘Then he did a highly unethical thing, But he understood boys and especially the one before him, “Jimmie,” he said, “you and I are going to fight hard to get you well, but we are going to get you well.” The boy smiled; the doctor had touched the right chord, “Nobody but you and T can do it, Mother can't help you; neither can sister or brother or father. Iam going to come to see you twice a day. We have got to get you in good shape so that you will be all ready to go camping this summer with the rest of the boys. “You remember that little redeye hole down by those willows where 1 stopped to wateh you fish when I came by In the automobile? Well, I drove Past there last week and it looks to me like it is golng to be better than ever, A big log has floated down there and you can sit on it in the shade of the willows gnd never get a bit hot, even in July. But'before you go fish- ing you will linve to get well. I think we can have you out of bed in two weeks.” The little ehap in the bed looked hard at the doctor. He was only ten years old, and it 1s hard for ten-year- old boys to Me in bed. He had seen the doctor swim across a wide, swift river, he knew the doctor could lift him with two’ fingers; he knew the | doctor liked /little boys and liked to help them all he could. In his boy mind the'doctor was a hero, “Yes, six (the boy was speak‘ng), if you say we have to fight, I'l do just what you say. It is hard not to get to play af. ter school (a tear rolled down and lost itself in the sheet near the boy's ear), but I can put my clothes on, can't I?” ‘The doctor nodded, and, for. getting about medicine, plunged into another story of next summer, He talked for almost an hour to the boy. Which was also not exactly ethical. But when he rose to go he noticed 1 new light in the young eyes, “I think we will have Jimmie out Playing in about two weeks,” he sal¢ to the anxious mother, And as hi ee Sad seaoine ati ne a8 was his ‘his heart ‘not heavy.- ‘News.

AMONG THE CHURCHES Call Our Advertising Representative for Rates Bell Phone East 999 1803 E.18th Street CHRISTIAN CHURCH. The attendance at the Bible school was good and the work encouraging. The superintendent reported satisfactory progress in the Home and Cradle Roll Department. The church services were largely attended on the part of both members and visitors and the spirit of gratitude and worship was helpful and consecrating. The sermon brought words of reconciliation to God. The choir gave some of the old familiar songs in perfect harmony with the message in the sermon. The offering to the work of the Lord was very commendable and showed willing and liberal hearts. The congregation is arranging for the Colored delegation that will attend the International Christian Missionary Convention that convenes in Kansas City, Mo., October 24. The opening session will be at the Church, Thursday night, October 25. The minister's "subject Sunday, 11 a.m., will be, "Who and Where Are We Before Death?" and at 8 p.m., "Where Are We After Death?" The public is invited and asked to help the small congregation make a good showing in their National meeting. ALLEN CHAPEL. Prof. Wm. H. Ferris, D. D., of New Haven, Conn., occupied the pulpit last Sunday morning. His scholarly sermon gave inspiration and encouragement. Following the sermon, Judge Ralph S. Latshaw, of the Criminal Court, made an eloquent address pertaining to the purchasing of Liberty Bonds. No doubt those who listened to his inspiring words made up their minds and there to purchase a bond or bonds even if they had to pay a dollar down and a dollar a week to do so. In the absence of the pastor, Dr. L. J. Talton had charge of the evening service. He delivered an excellent sermon subject, "Extracts from the sermon on the Mount," Matthew 5-6-7 chapters. Many were the words of commendation expressed on all sides for the grand sermon delivered by Dr. Wm. H. Thomas and steno- graphically reported by Miss Susie Recolia Goodwin. A business meeting was held after class last Tuesday night. The Sunday School is progressing nicely. The Christian Endeavors are holding interesting sessions. All are invited to share our Church home. SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH. Last Sunday the auditorium was filled at both services. In the morning the pastor preached a grand sermon on "Training the Child." In the evening on "Where Shall I Spend Eternity?" The Mission Circle held a very interesting sermon last Friday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Frank Christian, 1518 Baltimore avenue....

There were two additions.....The funeral of Mr. Johnson, the nephew of Mrs. Sallie Burton was held Sunday, the pastor officiating.....The Sunday school teachers' examination was postponed until Sunday, October 20....The Duffy's Prayer Bank will hold services Sunday at 5 a. m., October 20.

Thomas, assistant; Miss Lucy Pator, treasurer; Miss Duncan, secretary; Mr. G. W. Taylor seld the election and installed the officers. We hope for them a successful year. The afternoon meeting last Sunday was one of the best. Rev. Robinson made a very descriptive Y. M. C. A. talk and the men were highly pleased. About 100 men were present. Vance Lewis of Houston, Texas, was well attended and well received by the large audience. Attorney Lewis is a very enthusiastic race man. The publicity campaign started by the "Y" last Sunday promises to be one of much value to the association. Rev. Bacote preached a very instructive sermon to his large congregation about the worth of the association to the community. The campaign will be continued throughout the mont at all te different churches of the city. 1. Beginning Monday, October 15, and each Monday thereafter from 3:00 to 4:30, under the direction of the Domestic Science Department of Lincoln High School, Mrs. Sarah P. Goss in charge, there will be conducted a "Housewives' Round Table." The purpose of this course is to study improved methods of Domestic Science with a view of applying them to the home. (Practical Demonstrations at each meeting). This course is open mainly to housekeepers. Only a limited number can be accommodated. 2. Beginning Tuesday afternoon, October 16th, and each Tuesday afternoon thereafter from 3:00 to 4:30, under the direction of the Domestic Art Department of the Lincoln High School, Miss Clara. Lynden in charge, there will be conducted a class in "Home Millinery." The purpose of this class is to teach women who are housekeepers to make over hats wherever it is possible and to make, by their own hands, new hats economically. Most verbal appeals fall down because people are indifferent to them. Inattention becomes a habit, in one ear and out the other. The very existence of the phrase proves the point.

EDITORIALS. The government is calling for stenographers and typists which is a splendid opportunity for some of our Colored men and women. At the recent National Race Congress held in Washington, the Rev. W. H. Jernagin well and favorably known in the West, now of Washington, D. C., was elected President; the Rev. A. A. Graham of Hampton, Va., Secretary. The Congress was a great success and an impressive address to the country was issued Starting with a matinee Sunday, October 21, the Dubinsky Brothers' Stock Company at the Grand will produce that wonderful play of human interest, "Within the Law." Irene Daniel will be seen in the role of Mary Turner, the girl who suffers the shame of serving a term in jail for a crime she did not commit. The usual matinees will be given Sunday, Thursday and Saturday at the usual bargain prices, ten and twenty cents The announcement of the appearance here of "The White Slave" will be of more than passing interest to theatergoers, for the popularity of this virile drama has endured for many years. The story, with its big heart interest, its tense dramatic moments, its bubbling, wholesome comedy, all harmoniously blended, is one that appeals to all classes. The management of the Garden Theater have opened up the entire mezzinine or box floor to the colored people. The prices will be 20 and 30 cents. THE LIBERTY LOAN COMMITTEE The Colored men have organized their Liberty Loan Committee, with headquarters at 1520 East 18th street, with Dr. William J. Thompkins, chairman; W. C. Hueston and N. C. Crews, vice chairmen; Dr. J. E. Dibble, secretary, and an executive committee composed of Charles H. Calloway, F. W. Dabney, J. E. Perry, J. R. E. Lee, Charles H. Harris, T. B. Watkins and Rev. Richard Davis. Teams have been selected and an active campaign for $100,000 to be subscribed by the Colored people begins today. TEACHERS' REST. On account of the high cost of living and the difficulty in securing suitable homes, a friend has suggested that a number of our lady teachers should club together and emulate the example of quite a few white teachers who have rented commodious residences, placed a housekeeper and maid in charge and have all the comforts of home, as well as home cooked, appetizing meals. The large modern residence of Mrs. T. W. H. Williams, near 14th and Jackson, would be an ideal location for such a home, and the teachers should stop complaining and take advantage of this opportunity. The Lincoln High School Community Meeting for October 21st will be in the interest of the Parental Home for colored boys and girls of Kansas City. Mr. H. R. Farnum, president of the Colored Children's Improvement Association, and the officers will make a supreme effort to enlist several hundred members who can be counted upon to give their influence in the interest of this parental home. Mr. Farnum will be present and preside; along with him will be Judge Porter B. Goddard, attorney for Board of Education; Mr. James A. Nugent, member of the school board; Mr. John R. Ransom, police commissioner; Mr. Chas. Young, attorney, and Judge E. E. Porterfield of the Juvenile Court. Along with these gentlemen certain prominent women of the Women's Clubs, who are anxious to help us secure this parental home, will be present; among them, Mrs. G. W. Addison, Mrs. H. H. McClure and Mrs. Edwin Knapp of the Athenaeum and Council of Women's Clubs. This is one of the most important meetings that has ever been held in this city in the interest of the colored wayward youth. The purpose is to secure a home for colored boys and girls similar to the McCune and Parental Home for white boys and girls. Classified Wants and Rooms to Rent WANTED AT ONCE.

CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our gratitude to our host of friends for the many acts of kindness toward our mother and sister, Mrs. Nancy Marshall, during her long illness. We thank them to the sympathy and condolence extended us after her decease and for the beautiful floral offerings.—Mr. and Mrs. Horace Marshall, J. O. Marshall, Mr. and Mrs. Louie Hutson. Dr. Sidney Johnson, of 1701 E. 11th street, has just returned from Rochester, Minn., where he visited his wife, Mrs. Janie L.

NEGRO SELECTIVES WARMLY WELCOME AT ATLANTA WELCOMEED AT ATLANTA. Atlanta, Ga.—Some parts of the South may be opposed to the Negro soldier, but Atlanta, located in the heart of the South, gave as warm and as cordial a welcome to the Negro draft men as it did to its white draft men when they began to arrive last week. The Atlanta Constitution calls attention on its first page to the arrangements made for the reception of the Colored men, and to the camp activities for their enjoyment which are being organized. The Constitution says that these camp activities for Colored men will vary in no way from those organized for the white selectmen. Every effort will be made to minimize friction and misunderstanding. CARD OF THANKS. Through this medium the wife, sister and brothers wish to thank Rone Lodge No. 25, A. F. & A. M., Cosmopolitan Lodge No. 2935, G. U. O. of O.

New York. All Muddled Up One day a new pupil in a music settlement school came home and asked: "Mother, how many carrots are there in a bushel? Teacher wants to know." "What?" answered the mother. "What has that to do with music?" "I don't know," replied the child. The next day the mother went to the music school to inquire what kind of music her child was being taught. The teacher laughed and said: "Well, that is hardly correct, madam. What we asked your child was how many beats there were in a measure." Hebrews as Miners The operations for mining as known to the early Hebrews are given in the twenty-eighth chapter of Job. The description is highly poetical. In Egypt the mines for gold were worked by groups of convicts and captives in fetters. The harder rocks were broken by fire, after which picks and chisels were used. The miners were quite naked, as are the negroes of today who work in the diamond mines in South Africa. Bridge in Scripture The only mention of a bridge in the canonical Scriptures is indirectly in the principality of Geshur, a district to the northeast of the sea of Gallilee. At this place a bridge is said to exist still which is called by the Arabs "the Bridge of the Sons of Jacob." The Romans are credited with being the first constructors of arched bridges over streams. Grabbed by Old Ocean An average of 95 tons of soil and loose rock is washed into the ocean every year from every square mile of the United States. This estimate does not include the great basin. The imensity of this contribution may be better comprehended when it is realized that the surface of this country covers 8,088,500 square miles. Protection Against Hail. The government is encouraging experiments in France with a device to protect against hail, essentially a large lightning rod of pure copper, which is said to so affect atmospheric electricity that hall stones cannot form. Grass Seeds for Food Among grass seeds those used for food are barley, corn, millet, oats, rice, rye, wheat and few less important; roots of many are used for medicine; stems, as of sugar cane for sugar; molasses, etc.; bamboo for timber and other uses. Too Much. "I thought you were going to sell that man an encyclopedia. He seemed interested." "He was too much interested. I couldn't spare the time to complete the sale." "How's that?" "He wanted me to tell him what was in it." For Our Selection. There is a wealth of comfort in the old maxim, "The world is wide." This is simply to say that it offers a limitless field for selection. If one fact is black, another is bright. If a friend is false, somewhere true friends are awaiting your coming. To sit in a dark corner while bright life is everywhere about you; to brood over a sorrow, a slight privation, when a multitude of good and generous and hopeful deeds illustrates the daily life of the world; to rage at the limitations of your own estate when you can make your spirit sympathetically master of everything—this is to declare an indolent and wallowing spirit. It is a form of voluntary servitude to the powers of darkness.—Exchange. Men and Government. Some have said that it is not the business of private men to meddle with government—a bold and dishonest saying, which is fit to come from no mouth but that of a tyrant or slave. To say that private men have nothing to do with government is to say that private men have nothing to do with their own happiness or misery; that people ought not to concern themselves whether they be naked or clothed, fed or starved, deceived or instructed, protected or destroyed—Cato. Slaves of the Gown. Some women live in a state of perpetual preparation of wardrobe. They never seem to acquire one in any approach to completion, and they are always in the act of either planning or of obtaining some separate portion of one in such a way that it would seem as if they lied to and for no other end or purpose. The materials of which their gowns are made must be of the nature of Penelope's web.—Memphis Commercial Appeal. That One Was Easy. The teacher's last question was meant to be a scientific poser. "What is that which pervades all space," she said, "which no wall or door or other substance can shut out?" No one had an answer ready, but Freddy Sharpe. "The smell of onions, miss," he said, promptly. The following officers recently commissioned at Fort Des Moines paid the Sun office a pleasant visit en route home: Lieut. P. C. Mason of Giddings, Texas; Lieut. Jas. L. Horace of Fort Worth, Texas, and Lieuts. Banks, Gallaird and Hudgens of this city.

Mme. W. H. Brice Face and Scalp Specialist NEWS and GOSSIP of WASHINGTON WASHINGTON.—"Papa, the man down there said they were in committee of the whole, but that isn't all of them, is it?" "No, son. There are only forty-nine present, and there are 435 members." "Then why do they call it committee of the whole house?" In a short time the house of representatives has passed on at least three tremendously important pieces of legislation: The five-billion-dollar urgent deficiencies appropriation. The $176,000,000 war risk insurance bill. The $11,538,000,000 bond and certificate measure. At no time during discussion of the last-named bill were there more than 75 members on the floor of the house. Rarely during the insurance discussion did more than 60 show themselves. Washington, accustomed to anything in the way of congressional behavior, or misbehavior, has hardly raised an eyebrow at this queer, not to say naive, way of handling important national business. But the casual visitors with nothing better to do than to visit the house have frequently remarked on the situation. A faithful handful of representatives have been fairly regular in attendance, but by far the great majority have not shown themselves at the capitol in weeks. "Illness in the family" and "necessary business" must be responsible, as alleged, for absences, because it is an off-year for elections. Notable Gift to United States National Museum THE United States National museum at Washington has recently received and put on exhibition a notable collection of swords, uniforms and miscellaneous relics of Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan. These mementos Pro rege sape, pro patria semper." Two swords in the collection were carried by McClellan in the Civil war, a dress sword and a service sword. The other swords in the collection commemorate his Mexican war service, one dress sword having been presented to him "by a number of gentlemen as a testimonial of their high admiration for his gallantry during the war with Mexico. First, at the siege of Vera Cruz; second, the battle of Cerro Gordo; third, battle of Contreras; fourth, battle of Churubusco; fifth, Chapultepec; sixth, capture of the City of Mexico." Another of the swords carried in the Mexican war is a service saber with a small piece of the hilt broken away. The donor of the collection writes: "A piece of the hilt of this sword was carried away by a bullet which slightly wounded General McClellan in the hand." Among the other relics of this great American general are several uniforms, spurs, field glasses, revolvers, powder flasks, and a number of more personal relics.

The most striking of these is a gold-mounted sword set with pearls presented to McClellan by a number of citizens of Boston in 1863, in recognition of his services during the Civil war. The scabbard is inscribed, "To Major General George B. McClellan, from many citizens of Boston. Feb. 5, 1863." Two swords in the collection were car- ress sword and a service sword.

SATURDAY. OCTOBER 20. 1917 Fads And Fancies Of Fashion Crepe de chine has proven as durable and as dainty as fine batiste, maimsook, or the finest muslius, for making fingerle. All undergarments are to be had in silk or cotton, in exquisite weaves of both. Choice between them is to be settled according to individual taste for they are equally well made and beautifully trimmed with hand-embroidery and lace. Just now the graceful empire styles are having a special vogue for negligees, nightgowns and chemise. In the last garment the envelope pattern is at least as popular as the older plain J Y EMPIRE STYLES IN LINGERIE chemise and is likely to gain the lead as it is never inconvenient to walk in. Sometimes the plain garment will gather up about the knees and have to be straightened out. For this same reason bloomers are preferred to short underskirts, and silk makes the best petticoats for walking. A lovely night dress of crepe de chine is shown in the picture above with an envelope chemise to match. It is laid in flat box plaits across the front and back, fastened down on the underside to a line below the bust. Slashes in the material, buttonhole stitched about their edges, allow a narrow satin ribbon sash to be run through. It is tied loosely with long loops and ends at the side. The gown may be made without the slashes for those who would dispense with the ribbon girdle. There is a narrow lace edging above a small beading about the neck, carrying baby ribbon. Tabs of valce insertion are set in the silk all about the top of the gown and sleeves. The sleeves are merely short puffs, but in many models they are longer, reaching to the elbows and loose at the bottom. The chemise has no sleeves but is supported by satin ribbon like that used as a girdle, over the shoulders. Undergarments for women have reached the limit of fineness and dain- ```markdown ``` HOLIDAYS GAMES FOR HALLOWEEN. tness of materials. There is little difference in price between the cotton and the silk ones and even in the most expensive things, as in the case of blouses, fine cottons vie with silk, equally sure of favor with the most exacting people. The next thing on the year's program for the younger generation is the celebration of Halloween. We might as well provide entertainment for the youngsters at home, otherwise they will go out and provide it for themselves in ways that may not suit the neighbors. But they will take delighted interest in the time-honored Halloween frivolities varied by any new numbers introduced into their home-grown vaudeville. Of course, they must have their apple-eating contest, and their looking into a mirror in a dark room and the always amusing "shadow show." The last requires only a sheet stretched up in a doorway between two rooms. One of them is darkened, for the spectators, and the other furnished with a single very bright light which throws the actors' silhouettes on the sheet. Some one may read a story or legend, to be illustrated by the actors that pass across the sheet, and close to it as their cue comes. Funny stories please everybody. Processions of spooks, carrying small lanterns, and calling at neighbors' houses on their rounds, make the youngsters have the time of their lives. They become ghosts, black cats, witches or animated pumpkins, simply by making masks of crepe paper. One of these masks is shown in the picture. A "Halloween pie," for a table centerpiece, is shown at the right of the picture. It is made of paper over a round pasteboard box. When the "pie" is ready to serve, the box is filled with all sorts of nonsensical toys, each attached to a strip of yellow baby ribbon. The ribbons are brought through an opening in the center of the pie at the top, and each ribbon is extended to one plate at the table. One by one the guests draw forth their portion, wrapped in a piece of paper, and when all are drawn, they are unwrapped. The children always enjoy the old-fashioned "fish pond," where each one may cast a line once into a curtained off corner and bring forth some kind of prize. Flappers date on "post offices" where each receives a letter containing her fortune and everybody likes a mysterious fortune teller who reveals the future each year, even if 5 the complexion of the promised husband is totally different with each new Halloween. Julia Bottomly About Waistcoats. Fancy vests are quite the smartest accessories to dress that fashion has introduced this season. They lend a distinctive touch to the new fail suit and no wardrobe is complete without them. They are made of satin, faille, moire, Sammy cloth, brocade, broude cloth and novelty silks. STORIES From the BIG CITIES Bill of Big Denomination Staggered Hotel Clerk SEATTLE—It's all right in the latest novel, of course, but in real life there is no such thing as a $1,000 bill. No one knew this better than the night room clerk at the Washington hotel. So when a suave stranger ap- the manager grew nogy and picked up his bank note, thrust it in his pocket and walked out. But if the auditor was slow the police were not, and as the stranger went out at the door two detectives entered. "Follow him," the room clerk hissed. "Follow and arrest him. He has a $1,000 bill." The detectives took the stranger to police headquarters, where he was asked to explain. "My name is Charles M. Gallegher," he said, "and formerly I was the proprietor of the Antlers hotel here. I just wanted to get a bill changed and do not see any reason for my arrest." But the detectives didn't believe in $1,000 bills either, so they locked him up for the night. The next day Gallegher explained further that his father is a multi-millionaire oil operator and pearl fisher at Sydney, Australia, that he had a little more than $2,000 in currency the day before when a man he didn't know stopped him on the street and asked him for smaller denominations for two $1,000 bills. "I didn't know there was anything wrong about a big bill, so I accommodated him," he added. The police department heads, in the meantime having heard of no missing $1,000 bills, and Gallegher having two perfectly genuine ones to verify his story, set the man at liberty with the advice to put the money in a bank.

"You were not bitten, were you?" asked the court. "Was a bit, exclaimed Mr. Washington. "Did she bite me up? Ah's here to say she ate me alive. Den she kicked me a swack in mah laig lak she's break it." "Well, now," said the magistrate, "cats don't kick, do they?" "Mebbe you think they doan', you' honoh," answered the defender of the ice box, "cause youall never see'd dis murderin' cat. She ain't no litty kitty, y'know; she's a Shetland pony, bulldog cat, dat's what she is. She ain't no purrin' beauty; she's a spittin' debil wid a bad look." Just as soon as Washington Boll, a negro prisoner, was remanded for trial in another court he called to a keeper and asked for pen and ink. The keeper hesitated and asked what letter was so important that it must be written before he got to the Tombs. "Ah'll tell y' jus what it is," replied the beaming Washington. "Ah want ter write to my folks in Ca'lina an' let 'em know that ah'm in 2,000 ball. Law, man, when dey heah dat der eyes'll bulge right out from dey heads. Some ball."

"This is an unfortunate matter all around," said Judge Jeffries, moved by Saunders' apparent sincerity, "but the court, you know, has no discretion. However, I can give you your choice of Jackson or Marquette prison." Pleas to be sent to Jackson prison instead of Marquette are common, but Saunders, with only a moment's hesitation, chose Marquette. "I am not ashamed to be sent where my fellow-conspirators are already serving their sentences," he said. Saunders, thirty-four years old, and prematurely gray, is the oldest of the four charged with the murder of Schreiber, a saloonkeeper.

Creates a Sensation by Seeking Baptism at the Hands of Koji, a Reformed Convict. The Morimura Gumi, one of the largest and oldest Japanese export houses of porcelain and curios, is especially well known in the United States. Its head, Baron Ichizayem Morimura, has for many years been a propagandist of temperance and undenominational Christianity. Like Mr. Dwight L. Moody in America, he and several assistants have traveled about Japan, preaching to the people. He is one of the earnest supporters of the joint church movement in Japan. A sensation was created recently, says a New York correspondent, when the baron sought baptism at the hands of Yoshitaro Koji, a reformed convict—a perfect prototype of the late Jerry McAuley of New York, founder of the Oliver street and Cremorne missions. Mr. Koji is an interesting personality. He was raised among criminals, and served 23 years in prison, where he earnestly studied Christianity and became converted. When liberated several years ago, he at once set out as a religious teacher, going among all classes of society—never obtruding his personal views, but chiefly exhorting to morality, self-sacrifice and humility. He did not preach the doctrine of any particular denomination, but based his creed upon Christ's "Sermon on the Mount" and the "Lord's Prayer." He never has been recognized by the Christian missionaries in Japan, although many of them have shown him respect. He hasn't any church of his own, but visits people to whom he is introduced, gains their friendship, and teaches them the broadest features of Christianity. He makes no distinction between Catholic and Protestant. He has much respect for true believers and practitioners of the Mohammedan faith, especially extolling their temperate habits. He visited Korea and Manchuria and walked thousands of miles among the villages far off the beaten tracks and railways. Baron Morimura has for several years shown peculiar interest in the personality of this humble Christian, and recently asked Exhorter Koji to baptize him. Other members of the Morimura family are Protestant church members. The baron has organized a society to improve the moral standard of the younger Japanese generation, giving $100,000 to start the movement and putting at its head Viscount Dr. Inajiro Tajirl, a famous scholar. He is opposed to all charities under government or municipal direction. French Aristocrats in War. Although France is a republic, the French aristocracy has been as eager in its war service as the British aristocracy. The difference is that, while the British aristocrat is almost always a commissioned officer, the majority of the French counts and barons are serving in the ranks. Two thousand one hundred and seventy-six nobles have already written their names on the roll of honor. Among them are Prince Louis Murat, a descendant of Napolean's marshal; the Duc de Rohan, who before his death had won both the Croix de Guerre and the Legion of Honor, and the Comte de Turrene, a descendant of the famous marshal of France. The Comtesse O'Gorman lost her life while working as a Red Cross nurse, after having been decorated with the Croix de Guerre.-Dundee Advertiser. How a Machine Gun Is Fired. How a Machine Gun is Fired. A machine gun is fired through a revolving propeller is told in a recent issue of Aeronautics, in an article describing the more important features of two German Fokkers brought down behind the lines in France. On these monoplanes, according to the description, the machine gun is fired through the propeller by means of a small lever actuating a Bowden wire. Provision is further made to throw the machine-gun mechanism momentarily out of gear as each whirling propeller blade comes into line with the muzzle. This is done very simply by means of a double cam fixed on the engine shaft and acting on a system of levers. The French Morane, after which the Fokker type has been modeled, also fires its machine gun through the tractor screw. Women Run Street Cars. On some of the street railways in Great Britain over half of the motormen are motorwomen. There is some difference of opinion, however, as to the value of women at this post, though all are agreed that they make good conductors. On some of the difficult runs women have had to be replaced by men in the driver's seat, because the woman has a tendency to "lose her nerve" in an emergency. Only War Bread. Mistress (greatly scandalized)—Is it possible, Hannah, you are making bread without having washed your hands? New Servant—Lor, whats' the difference, mum? It's war bread! The Appropriate Costume. "Is it an elaborate costume the women in that Russian Battalion of Death wear?" "I don't know, but I suppose they are dressed to kill." The Mate's Mate By M. GOLDSMITH (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.) The third day out of port, and the ocean was as calm as a nill pond. Not so the heart of the first mate of the good steamer Oceanica. He had weathered many a hurricane, but had never experienced such an emotional storm as now swept over his soul. The unconscious cause of it sat on deck near the bridge reading a novel—a bright, brown-haired maiden with rosy cheeks and an exuberance of spirits, an American rosebud who had been touring in Europe and was now homeward bound. Mrs. Laird, her mother, who accompanied her, lay in her cabin seasick, and Irene, tiring of the stuffy air amidships, had come on deck to breathe old Neptune's ozone. Spying the mate on the bridge, she nodded pleasantly. "Mr. Caldwell," she said, "you promised to take me through the engine room and show me the machinery." "So I did," he replied. "If you are ready, this will be as good a time as any." Calling the second mate to take his place, he descended the ladder. Irene had risen, and placing her arm in his, they wended their way leisurely to the engine room. Truly she was a vision of loveliness and the mate's heart beat as loudly—so it seemed to him—as did the pulsating machinery. Next they turned their steps toward the room where the dynamo whirred and sang as it turned out current for the ship's illumination. The mate explained in detail the delicate contrivance, while Irene listened with evident interest. "Thank you ever so much, Mr. Caldwell," she said; "I've enjoyed it hugely, but I really must turn in now. Will you escort me to the cabin entrance?" He left her at the door and wandered back to the bridge with his head in a whirl. If he could but do something to show the girl how much he loved her, and to make himself worthy of her love in return. Next day a sudden storm transformed the ocean into a chaos of hills and valleys. The squall changed to a tempest which buffetted the big ship about like a cork. Irene dragged herself on deck; it was her only salvation A woman in a long coat is stepping down a staircase. A man in a uniform is standing on the deck of a ship. "May I Come on the Bridge?" from seasickness, and by holding on to the rails and ropes she managed to reach her chair near the bridge. Mate Caldwell was not long in discovering her, and greeted her cordially. "May I come on the bridge," asked Irene wistfully. She felt timid in this whirl of elements. Caldwell hesitated. "You may come up if you like," he said, "but only for a minute." He helped her up the steep steps, holding her hand longer than necessity required, and showed her how to steady against the rail. "Please, sir," said the man at the wheel; "there's something the matter with the needle." Indeed the compass showed unmistakable signs of perturbation as Irene passed it. Caldwell left the girl's side and looked at the box. The needle was calmly pointing ahead without a tremor. "The wind must have affected your vision, Brown," he said and resumed his place near his fair companion. The allotted ten minutes lengthened to an hour and a quarter. "I must go," she said at length. "Mother has not had her breakfast yet. She may be waiting for me." He helped her down and as far as the cabin door, after which he returned to the bridge in a delightful reverie. "There is something wrong with the compass, sir," again said the pilot timidly. "As you left the bridge with the young lady, the needle made a complete circle." Caldwell examined the box attentively, but could discover nothing extraordinary about the needle's action. He looked sharply at his subordinate to see if he had been drinking, but could find nothing to justify the sus Just before noon the clouds parted and for the first time during the day allowed a glimpse of the sun. "We shall have a fine day after all," said the captain as he came on deck with his sextant and took observations. He appeared puzzled. "Good heavens, Caldwell," he exclaimed suddenly. "We are out of the course. Fully 40 miles to the northward. What do you suppose is the matter?" "It must have been the hurricane of last night," replied the mate, "or perhaps—" "Ship ahoy," cried the man on the lookout. "Where?" shouted the captain. "Right ahead. She is flying a signal of distress." The captain's glass revealed a craft not far off laboring heavily in the waves. In an hour the Oceanic caught up with the disabled ship. She proved to be the Dorothy, a sailing vessel which had been caught by the awful storm and was fast going to pieces. By this time the passengers of the steamer had assembled on deck to witness the unwonted and exciting scene. Irene stood by the rail and gazed in fascinated wonder at the spectacle of a wreck in midocean. The hurricane had dismantled its victim, the vessel had sprung a leak, which was fast becoming larger and her sinking was only a matter of a few moments. The lifeboats had been washed away and the bulwarks were on a level with the sea. The crew, driven by the encoaching waters from the deck, had lashed themselves to what remained of the masts and were helpless to avert their certain doom. With infinite trouble and by dint of great personal risk and courage, the Oceanica's boats were lowered and piloted through the tempestuous waves to the sinking ship. Caldwell directed the operations with skill, and after each boat had received its allotment of rowers, he swung himself into one of them. Before cutting loose, however, he glanced up and sought a face on deck. Irene had watched him and waved her handkerchief encouragingly. It was all he needed. He would have gone to certain death for that smile. The work of rescuing the imperilled crew was not easy. The sea was dangerously turbulent and it required courage, endurance, heroism to achieve success. At length the 15 souls who had manned the ill-fated Dorothy were transferred from the Oceanica's boats to the Oceanica herself, where they were met with loud acclamations and general rejoicing. Suddenly the wrecked ship gave a lurch and sank, while the sea closed over her in a seething maelstrom. Caldwell was the last to climb on deck. The captain shook his hand enthusiastically. "You did well," he said. "It was a risky business, and you proved yourself a hero. I shall see to it you receive a proper recognition when we reach port." "Let me add my congratulations," said Irene, sweetly. "No, I am not afraid of getting wet. One does not see a hero every day." This praise was dearer far than even the captain's words of encouragement. "But," said the captain, "I cannot understand by what singular good fortune we managed to go so far out of the way. Had we kept on our course we would never have come across the Dorothy, and these poor fellows would now be at the bottom of the sea." "It must have been the storm of last night." "Nonsense. The wind was from the north, and could not have blown us 40 miles to the northwest. There must be something wrong with the steering gear." "I have it," cried Caldwell. "Brown said this morning that the needle was erratic. Perhaps that is the cause of it." The captain made a rush for the bridge, followed by the mate. The needle was normal. "Who was up here this morning with Brown?" "I," said Caldwell. "Anyone else?" "Yes. Miss Laird," replied the mate reluctantly. "Oh," said the captain, as he looked at the mate searchingly. "You know that such a thing is against orders. Well, I won't scold you after what you have just gone through. Will you please come up again, Miss Laird?" "Oh, yes, with pleasure." She climbed up the ladder. No sooner had she reached the bridge before the needle again trembled in her direction. "What a strange phenomenon," cried the captain, astounded. "Are you magnetic, Miss Laird." "Not that I know of." "Wait a minute!" cried Caldwell. "Do you wear steel in your corsets, Miss Laird?" Irene blushed and looked troubled. "That's a strange question to ask a lady," she said. "Never mind the unconventionality of the question. Answer me." "Yes." "Then the mystery is solved. Yesterday I took Irene, Miss Laird, I mean, into the dynamo house. The current probably magnetized her corsets and they in turn affected the needle." "And lucky thing it was," laughed the captain. "But for that magnetization, these poor fellows would now be in their watery grave. Be careful, Miss Laird, that you don't turn other heads besides that of the compass." That evening Mr. Caldwell and Miss Laird had a private conversation behind one of the boats that had done such excellent service during the day. By the time the couple returned Miss Laird had promised to be the mate's mate. THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1917. DECIPHERING WORLD'S OLDEST LOVE LETTER AT UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA Turning Weeds Into Sheep by Robert H Moulton The world needs more wool and to obtain the necessary supply of this commodity the country must raise more wool producers—there should be a flock of sheep on every farm HE remarkable success recently achieved by Mr. Y. C. Mansfield of Endicott, Washington, in fattening several hundred head of sheep on the Australian salt-bush has created an interest in this once despised weed, which is rapidly spreading throughout the north-west states. One result of Mr. Mansfield's experiment is that other farmers on whose acres the weed grows have come to look upon what was formerly considered absolutely worthless land as a real bonanza, and they are now preparing to turn their attention from the raising of hogs and wheat to sheep, with the assurance that, under ordinary conditions, they can hardly fall short of Mr. Mansfield's success. They see opened before them what is practically a virgin field of sheep raising, offering wonderful possibilities. As soon as the value of the salt-bush as a forage crop become generally known it undoubtedly will be cultivated in other sections of the West. As a matter of fact, it is now found along all the highways from Arizona to Washington, but very few people know its true name and fewer know that it is a valuable plant. In eastern Oregon it is generally known as the Pendleton flood weed, and has been looked upon as such a pest that there is a law in the state against allowing it to go to seed. According to Mr. Mansfield, however, it is really of more value to eastern Oregon than the alfalfa plant, for not only is it a far better feed for sheep, but it will grow on the most arid land, and practically requires no attention after once getting a stand, as it grows in hard, firm soil better than on loose, well-cultivated land. Mr. Mansfield's experience, as related by him to the writer, who was fortunate to visit the farm at a time when a thousand head of sheep had just been turned into a new pasture of the saltbush, when the accompanying photographs were taken, reads almost like a fairy story. For several years Mr. Mansfield farmed 3,000 acres of land, all of which was wheat land with the exception of 150 acres, which were subirrigated alfalfa land. Finally the land became so foul with Russian thistles and Jim Hill mustard, that this, together with the high cost of labor add the low price of wheat, made it impossible for DECIPHERING W UNIVE THE world's oldest love letter and the world's oldest map, so far found—these are two interesting discoveries just brought to light by Dr. Stephen Herbert Langdon of the University of Pennsylvania's Museum of Arts and Sciences. The love letter, on a tablet of clay, was, according to Doctor Langdon, written about the time of the patriarch Abraham. It is true that in the translation romance gives way to commercialism, but nevertheless there is nothing of the kind in any other museum. The tablet was deciphered and translated by Doctor Ungnad. Personal letters of this type written by the ancient are generally found inclosed in clay envelopes, so fashioned that while they cover the writing completely and hold the tablet itself secure they do not obliterate the symbols, but rather protect them. Personal letters of this type written by the ancient are generally found inclosed in clay envelopes, so fashioned that while they cover the writing completely and hold the tablet itself secure they do not obliterate the symbols, but rather protect them. So much for the love letter, but Doctor Langdon, leading Sumerian scholar of all time, seems much more interested in the ancient Babylonian map which he has just finished reading. The map proves conclusively that the comprehensive city planning, heard so much of in recent years, is almost as old as civilization. Not only did the Babylonians plan the building of their towns and cities, but, according to this map or diagram, they laid out villages and hamlets along preconceived plans to give residents "all the advantages of city life." Nothing like the map just discovered at the university ever has been found before by archaeologists, and evidently it is only one of many. If it can be taken as a fair sample of the forethought exercised by ancient Babylon in building up her outlying domains, then the whole country must have been connected by the most elaborate system of canals in the history of the world. Babylon had no telephone or telegraph, but for certain fundamental purposes of protection it had "something just as good." For Doctor Langdon has translated some of the numerous small inscriptions on the tablet bearing the map to indicate that the particular section here described was so laid out that persons living in any part of it could hear the blowing of a horn from the central common. It was an old custom in the country to blow a horn at a certain season of the year, after which grazing was no longer permitted. The reason for this is lost in antiquity, but examination of other tablets at the museum some day may reveal it.

The reason for this is lost in antiquity, but examination of other tablets at the museum some day may reveal it. The exact age of the map is not definitely known. Doctor Langdon believes it was made in the Cassite period, about 1,500 years before Christ. Concerning the horn-blowing custom, Doctor Langdon says: "The map throws a welcome light --- AUSTRALIAN SALT-BUSH CUT FOR HAY AUSTRALIAN SALT-BLUSH CUT FOR HAY AUSTRALIA SHOWING HEAVY FOLIAGE OF THE SA AUSTRALIAN SALT-BUSI AUSTRALIAN SALT-BLUSH PASTURE him to longer continue in the growing of wheat alone without also keeping live stock to help pay the living expenses. Accordingly, two years ago, he decided to invest in a flock of sheep, and it was while driving these home that he made the discovery which he has since turned to such good account. Along the road near the Mansfield farm the salt-bush grew in abundance, and to Mr. Mansfield's infinite surprise the sheep began feeding upon it greedily. He figured upon the spot that he had destroyed $500 worth of good sheep feed that year, besides wasting a great deal of labor, in trying to get rid of the weeds. Last summer he pastured his entire flock of 1,000 sheep on the salt-bush with the most astonishing results. The sheep were not only exceedingly fat, but their wool was of a superior quality. Several neighboring farmers with small flocks of sheep followed Mr. Mansfield's experiment and their sheep, also, were in much better shape than those that were taken to the mountains during the summer. on it. day or it with enough do on a they get The A branche the gro branche plant of feet.

The is real During a period of two weeks last summer Mr. Mansfield's flock of 1,000 sheep was kept on less than five acres of ground that was growing Australian salt-bush, and they did not clean the feed all up at that. These five acres of land were two feed yards where he had fed stock for years and consequently they grew an immense amount of the weed, but ordinarily dry land which practically will not grow anything else, will produce this WORLD'S OLDEST I RSITY OF PENNSYL upon an obscure law in the great law code of Babylonia, which bears the name of Hammurabi. In it we have reference to the custom of blowing a horn at the village gates to notify the shepherds on the plains that the grazing season was over. These rural villages in which the peasants congregated from the surrounding plain appeared to have been so arranged that the village buglers were able to make the shepherds and farmers hear the sound of the horn in every part of Babylonia. "The rural life of ancient times in this historic land has here a visual commentary." Doctor Langdon adds, "and we see how the peasants lived together in villages, having village commons for their flocks and a municipal marsh to furnish a most necessary article of domestic life, the cane reed. Assuming that the orientation of the map is the ordinary one employed in other Babylonian maps, one is able to trace the several features of the country and their details. The skeleton of the plan is made by the canal which enters from the northeast corner of the district, flows south-southwest and turns in a rough parabolic curve, to retreat at the same angle toward the north-northwest. At the center of the district marked by the end of the parabola enter from the southeast and southwest corners two canals which snite with the main canal. Inscriptions on the tablet give the names of the various canals, the villages and hamlets. Thus in the extreme northeast corner is the town of Bit Kar Nusku, and the northeast wing of the canal, on which this town lies, is called Nar-bilti, or "Canal of the Burden," indicating that agricultural and other products were carried upon it. "This name and others," says Doctor Langdon, "show that these canals were arteries of trade as well as streams to supply the fields with water. The town Kar Nusku is mentioned in temple accounts of the city of Nippur as supplying sheep and grain for the support of the temple priests. In the northwest corner, on the left branch of the canal, is the town of Hamrl, also mentioned in the accounts of the temple at Nippur. Therefore, the Inscriptions on the tablet give the names of the various canals, the villages and hamlets. Thus in the extreme northeast corner is the town of Bit Kar Nusku, and the northeast wing of the canal, on which this town lies, is called Nar-bilti, or "Canal of the Burden," indicating that agricultural and other products were carried upon it. "This name and others," says Doctor Langdon, "show that these canals were arteries of trade as well as streams to supply the fields with water. The town Kar Nusku is mentioned in temple accounts of the city of Nippur as supplying sheep and grain for the support of the temple priests. In the northwest corner, on the left branch of the canal, is the town of Hamri, also mentioned in the accounts of the temple at Nippur. Therefore, the northwest branch of the canal bears the name Nar Hamri. According to references in Assyrian inscriptions, hamru designates a place where the cult of the fire god was established." Another canal bore the name of Belsunu, a rich man, whose estate is supplied with water for irrigation purposes. Unfortunately, the estate itself lay outside the limits of the map, so it is impossible to get any description of Belsunu's country house. In the opinion of Doctor Langdon the point of chief interest in the mind of the ancient map-maker was the conelike space at the end of the parubula, which is about the center of the map. The following inscription is cut into this weed. Later in the summer Mr. Mansfield made some hay of the weed, but on account of the scarcity of labor was not able to haul it in out of the shock. He had to turn his sheep through this hay to the stubble field, where there was plenty of other pasture, and they would stop and eat this hay. They cleaned it all up and saved the trotble of hauling it in. Mr. Mansfield is not only very enthusiastic about the saltbush as a food for sheep, but believes it is good feed for other stock also. Hogs, cattle and horses, he states, eat it soon, and he believes that they would learn to like it as well as the sheep do if they were confined a short time on it. Sheep, he adds, must be confined on it a day or two before they relish it. Then they go to it with avidity. They do not, however, eat enough of it to make them sick and die, as they do on alfalfa and a great many other plants, but they get exceedingly fat on it. The Australian saltbush is described as a much-branched perennial, which forms a thick mat over the ground a foot or 18 inches in depth, the branches extending from five to eight feet; one plant often covering an area of 15 to 20 square feet. The leaves are about an inch long, broadest at the apex, coarsely toothed along the margin, fleshy and somewhat mealy on the outside. The fruits are tinged with red, flattened and pulpy, but become dry as soon as they fall from the plant. The seeds germinate better if sown on the surface, which should be planked or firmed by driving a flock of sheep across it. When covered to any depth the seeds decay before germination. The plant will grow on black alfalfa land that is really of no value for anything else on earth. Mr. Mansfield states that there are millions of acres of such land in the United States, which, if sown to this seed, undoubtedly would keep sheep enough to produce more wool and mutton than is now raised in the entire United States. Mr. Mansfield adds that if cut for hay the saltbush should be cut while the branches are soft and tender, and the second crop will make considerable pasture and re-seed the ground. upon an obseure law in the great law code of part of the tablet: "Field between the canals, the contents (?) are eight gul (a measure of area in the Cassite and Assyrian inscriptions) field of the palace." "Therefore the mapmaker wished to give an accurate drawing of the field belonging to the royal estates," says Doctor Langdon, "and we may assume that he did his work at the king's injunction, and that the tablet has come down to us from the royal archives at Nippur. The Cassite kings nominally held court at Babylon, as the capital of Babylon." Forests were unknown in southern Babylon, and the natives had to use reeds for making baskets, household furniture, firewood, hedges and even for the writing stylus. Accordingly, a municipal marsh was an essential, and one is shown on the map at the university museum. Another feature of no little significance, which sheds light for the first time on the origin of the customs that sprung up in the middle ages of endowing monasteries with estates to provide for their tables, is the "field of the table of the Baru priest." On this phase of the diagram Doctor Langon says: "The Baru priest was the seer of the Babylonians, whom they invariably consulted about all future events. This learned priesthood was attached to all the great temples and, as we see here, owned valuable landed estates. The idea of a state-supported order of seers seems preposterous to us, for divination is considered illegal, but Babylonian religion was supercharged with magic and mystery. Kings and laymen undertook no important tasks, launched no important ventures, without consulting these sages of the liver omens, of oil omens and of every conceivable kind of divination. They formed an important part of the priesthood, and hence we find them on our map in possession of estates more valuable than those of the king himself. "In the extreme corner of the northwestern part of the district is the village of Hamri, situated in a field which bears no name, perhaps the municipal property. South of this area is the field in which we find a village with the curious name Till amel Hassa, or Hill of the Fifty Men. The local history of this town, which would elucidate its interesting name, is unknown. The field itself bears no inscription and was probably a village common also. A small canal separates the two village properties. The large field of the table of the Baru priest is bounded on the north by the canal of the table. These names refer to the properties settled by royal decree upon this religious order for the support of their table, in precisely the same way certain lands in Europe became the property of monastic orders in the middle ages."—Philadelphia Public Ledger.

The remnant which returned had now become settled in their new homes. As it would be a considerable time before the temple could be rebuilt, arrangement was made for the religious life as early as possible, as religion was the very heart of the nation's life. They first set up the altar of the God of Israel (3:1-3) and offered burnt offerings thereon. They next received the annual festivals (3:4-7) which had a powerful, unifying influence upon them. I. The Appointment of Officers to Set Forward the Work of the Lord's House (v. 8, 9). Overseers were needed to direct this great work. Rubbish needed to be cleared away so the building operations could begin; timber needed to be cut in the Lebanon forests and floated down to Joppa; stones needed to be cut from the quarries; intelligent and consecrated men were needed to direct this work, as it was needful that it be done with the utmost expedition. The Lord's house demands the most systematic adjustment of its labors. Mere zeal will not make up for lack of intelligence. II. The Foundation of the Temple Laid (3:10-13). This was done amid great rejoicing. The consciousness that the Lord's house was taking shape, even though the mere foundations could be seen, provoked great enthusiasm on the part of the people. Musicians were appointed to furnish music while the work was being done. Under the influence of music men will do better work, armies will march and fight better when bands are playing. While there was great joy, there was also, mingled sorrow. This was on the part of the elders who had seen the former temple. The meanness of the present temple in comparison with Solomon's temple caused their praise to be drowned with their sorrow. These people belonged to that class who think that nothing now is so good as in the former days. So completely were these voices commingled that the people could not discern the one from the other. III. The Building of the Temple Delayed by Opposition. (Chapters 4 and 5). For a time matters went smoothly with them, but as soon as the work had taken such shape as to show that there was some prospect of success, the half-heathen Samaritans began to oppose them. No vital work of God will be allowed to go on without opposition. Satan resents and bitterly opposes all inronds upon his kingdom. These Samaritans sought to frustrate this work of God by: (1) An Alliance With the Jews (4:2,3). They wanted to bring the work in harmony with their own religious practices, as God's pure worship would be a constant rebuke to them. This is ever the way of the world, to seek to effect a compromise with God's children; but God's call is separation. "Come out from among them" (2 Cor. 6:14-18). Nothing so weakens God's cause as worldly alliance and compromise. There is but one answer to be given to such an offer of compromise. "Ye have nothing to do with us in building a house unto our God." We are in the world, but not of the world. (2) Weakening the Hands of the People (4:4). Doubtless this included the withdrawal of supplies, the spreading of dissension among the workmen, and the employment of counsefors against them. (3) Letters of Accusation to the Persian King (4:6, 7). So severe was this opposition that the building was delayed for a term of years. These counselors succeeded in creating doubt as to whether Cyrus had ever issued a decree for their return. This wicked opposition resulted in the undoing of the opposers, for search was made and a copy was found. Darius confirmed this by his own decree, and directed that aid be given from the royal taxes so that the house of God might be built. IV. The Temple Completed and Dedicated (6:14-18). The Prophets Haggal and Zachariah now appear, and by warnings, exortations and entreaties stir up the people so that the work goes forward to a successful completion. Without their aid probably the work would never have been completed. Human nature at times needs to be cheered and urged forward. These prophets did not themselves work in the building of the walls, yet their work was of even greater importance. It is generally found that this is so with the religious leaders today. The words of cheer and encouragement of the Christian minister are needed daily for those who labor in the building of the Lord's house. Were it not for them many would give up the struggle. When the building was finished it was dedicated to God with great joy. This was possible because they had builted and finished their task according to the commandment of the God of Israel. The service of dedication was much after the order of that of Solomon's temple, only on a less magnificent scale.
