MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE. LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." Vice President's Office Vice President's Office. Chicago Ill.. My Dear Brother Pastors and Churches of Ill., with a due sense of what is before me for 1913, my thoughts turn to the thousands in Ill and millions in benighted Africa who have gone to heathen graves, and indeed, to a heathen hell, in the past year, hence, I am calling on you to help us rescue thousands who will go the same way unless we bestir ourselves. I am sending a copy of this Letter to 1800 of the Baptist preachers and churches in Illinois. You as one of them must hear me, not for my sake, but for the sake of the perishing millions in heathen lands, especially in Africa, and for the sake of the thousands in our own state. If we can get each of the 18,000 Baptists of the State to stand by us, under God, 1913 will see thousands saved to serve God and to reach others in Africa as well as in our own state. We 1800 cannot do what is planned without prayer. Our Lord prayed all night in preparation for His great work Daniel prayed the lion's jaws closed. 1800 of us earnestly bending before God in this light will bring His aid to the awakening of many more of our brethren. The other day, I locked myself in a room and spent a while in prayer that God might touch the hearts of my brethren in the ministry and cure them of their love and ostentation, that they might be brought to thing of what He, our Master did to show His love by doing and giving to save other s. May we do, and may we give! Let every Baptist Pastor and Church go on record this year in Illinois for not less than 500 for each and every member, to be used for missions only. We are commanded to preach the Gospel to every creature, beginning in Jerusalem, first which is our home and state, then continue to the utmost parts of the earth. Baptists, we are 50 years from our emancipation, and this fifteenth milestone should tell wonders for us in the salvation of others. May God awaken each of us to our duty. I am. Your in Him. O3ITUARY Clyde Herron, of this city but who died in Milwaukee, Wis., was brought here last Friday for busi- al. His funeral was preached by Rev. J. H. Smith, pastor of the A. M. E. church, Saturday afternoon and then the remains were interred in the Kidd Cemetery. He leaves a father, grandmother, and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss.

NOTICE NOTICE is hereby given to the officers and constituents of the East Mt. Olive Baptist Association that the executive Board and the M. D. & M institute will convene with the St Paul Baptist church Brookport Illinois on Thursday before the third Sunday in May. All members are requested to be present And too, the pastors who have been reluctant along missionary lines, are earnestly requested to bring this matter before their church and bring up to said meeting the five cents for the missionary as agreed upon at our last annual meeting at Murphysboro Illinois August last, and you who have done nothing along this line, are requested to bring fifteen cts, per quarter as this is the third quarterly meeting. And too, the five dollars for the building fund have been overlooked all the year and when you do call on your people to do this work at the end of the year, they feel unable to do so, hence you come up to the association with your suit cases full of excuses, and spend more time on the floor with your lip gush loyalty making promises, than any body else, then go home and tell your people the church is her own free sovereign and they can do it if they desire. Brethren this is not my work alone it. God's Vineyard, and we are workmen together (remember the word together) with God. If a failure comes to our district the shame will not be on the moderator, nor on them who have done the best they could to make the work successful, but will be on you who are not satisfied to ride, but will drag your feet to make the burden heavier for the faithful few that labor. Jacob shall not lose his reward, if Israel is not saved. We hope every church will be represented at the board. W. F Washington, Mod. HARRISBURG Allow me to say that my wife and I weat to Washington Ind., to visit her mother and as my wife is sick she will remain a few weeks until her health improves, I returned on Tuesday. The Mission work here is in a fine condition and is bringing souls to Christ. What is the matter with the pastors of the churches that they can't hold up the Law of the church? Who made you masters over God's church? Read your guide pages 518, 185, 180-181 152. Are you out in the field to look for a church? I want to pastor now as I have a wife who loves the church work and I desire a good church as she loves to engage in Christian work. Rev. Geo Brown. Ex-Missionary. WEEKLY GAZETTE Please allow me to say in your valuable paper that God's love is among us. Our church is still alive. God through Rev. Dr. Phillips and Rev. McWilliams has blessed 5 souls for baptism, and 7 by relationship and added to the church. Sunday was Mothers' day, we all wore memories of our dear mothers, some showing it by wearing white Carnations. Sunday School at 9:30 a. m., Rev Washington preached at 10:45 a. m. Subject, Come follow me. 8:00 p. m. God's call to Sinners Reporter. COLPSVILLE Dear Editor, allow me to say we are moving along very nicely in our church and Sunday School Rev. J B McCrary, our S. S. Missionary was with us a short time ago also Rev. S. J. Williams of Springfield accompanied him. They visited our Literary and made some interesting talks. Sunday morning we had a good Sunday School and the Missionary did some needful lecturing and instructing. Many thanks to him, for we like his visit. At eleven o'clock he delivered an able sermon. The writer visited in St. Louis, Mo., for a few days her daughter Mrs. Grace Gaiters. Buster Jones shot his wife in the hand and made a slight flesh wound and it is claimed to be an accident. Men, please lay down your arms, this is a civilized country we could not expect any better if we were in the wilds of Africa. "Our Aim is to Reach the Goal."

NOTICE Cairo, Ill., May 12, 1913 To all Sunday Schools composing the Mt. Olive Baptist S. S. Convention, Greetings:— The above mentioned Schools are hereby notified that the An- nual convention will meet in the city of Duquoin, Ill., on Wednesday, June 18, 1913. We hope every School in the District will represent either by letter or delegate CARREONDALE Allow me space to say to the Moderator and Superintendent of Missions that we ought to consider as preachers and come to the front. We have some that say that they will not pay the Freewill offering but, think if you are a God's sent man you will never object to doing good for the cause, we can hollow and some sister will shout, we get self conceited. If I was a preacher and could not get a shout I would go back home and would think that God did not call me. Brethren, let us work up, preach up and pay up. We must live for one another and bear each others burdens. We wish to say to the S. S. of the East Mt. Olive Convention that the we hope to rally to the front as the convention is fast approaching and we hope you will be able to report the amount of $12 00 to each school if possible. Brother pastors and superintendents, especially, on the account of the sickness of my family I will not be able to make it over my district, but hope each school will send their dues that is, 100 per member. The schools that I have visited are striving for a higher calling. We hope to take the Banner of the State of Illinois this year with the assistance of other districts. R. C. Brown. What Is The Best Home Mission Book To Study? Mrs. Laura Sparks, Sparta Ill. Solomon the wisest man wrote that of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh but we do not grow weary of our bible I will say the bible because I can see so many good things the bible has done for christian civilization. Even when England run up the white flag of peace this country requested that Thomas Jefferson would write the declaration of Independence and he said in this declaration that he believe that God created all men to have freedom and equal rights and by this we see that Mr. Jefferson had been studying the dear old book, the bible of God. In all of our home mission training we will find that the bible teaches charity at home and when abroad What is the mission of every parent of the United States of today? It is their mission to raise and train children in the ways of God and when they get old they will not depart from it. friends we can not know this unless we study the bible. May I S. S. Missionary Notice Notice is hereby given to the members of the Exectuive Board and churches throughout the Mr. Olive District that the Executive Board will meet with Bell's Chapel Baptist church, Ullin, Thursday before the 2nd Sunday in June. I ask that all churches send delegates to this meeting. Each church is requested to send $1 from each church for the school and paper. Come and let us raise the financial standard of our district. Please send in your money for Missionary, as he is doing all he can for the field. Now Brothers and sisters we have done well in our last two meetings. We raised at Culpsville, $57.11, at Mounds, $53.20 I feel that we can do more if every church will send one dollar. Brothers it is up to us to make our district what it should be, of course we have had a great disaster of the greatest flood on record but God has taken care of his churches. I know of only two that suffered loss and we sympathize with the African Baptist church of Metropolis, and the Shilch Baptist at Future City Revs. Norment and Hayes are the pastors. We pray for the divines. Let us as ministers come closer together. ask the question what is the bible the answer is it is the book of God, again it is the book of all books, and the master of all languages, May I ask the question what is your mission to them, his word was if any man would come after me let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. We cannot sit at his feet as teachers, we cannot see the ideal of his perfect example. We have no part in his commission to evangelize the world until we have yielded our hearts to Him. If we are founded on this we will put it in a Religious practice and gain souls for the building of God's Kingdom and when we do this we are doing a great Home Mission in our land and country, and send forth mercygers, with light for all darkness with life for all death, with love liness, and his final words are their strength as they go.

THEREFORE SPARE THE CAT Usefulness of Pussy in Nature Is Here Demonstrated in a Large Number of Ways. A lover of cats makes a new plea for them. He tells us that cats kill the field mice that rob the nest of bumblebees, and the bumblebees fertilize the blossoms of the clover, which feeds the cows that give us milk. Such is the chain of nature that the loss of any link may do grave damage. This is the way of it: This is the babe that mother loved. This is the milk that nourished the babe that mother loved. This is the clover that fed the cow that gave the milk that nourished the babe that mother loved. This is the bee that saved the clover that fed the cow that gave the milk that nourished the babe that mother loved. This is the mouse that killed the bee that saved the clover that fed the cow that gave the milk that nourished the babe that mother loved. This is the cat that ate the mouse that killed the bee that saved the clover that nourished the babe that mother loved. Therefore, will mother protect the cat or she will incur a dearer loss than that of the malt in the house that Jack built—New York Independent. KNEW HOW TO INTEREST BOY Such is Youth, That Father's Appeal Was Naturally More Potent Than the Physician's. "The boy is all right," said the doctor, "but you want to talk to him and arouse his ambition. Promise him that you will take him somewhere when he recovers sufficiently to go out. Talk to him about playing hockey with the fellows. There are lots of ways in which you can interest him." Then the doctor addressed the little chap, who was just recovering from the fever, saying: "Come, Billy, cheer up. Wouldn't you like to go out and slide on the ice with the other kids?" A faint smile stole over the boy's face, but that was all. "Wait a minute, doc—I'll rouse him," interrupted the kid's father. "Look here, Bill, how would you like to go out and steal milk bottles off the neighbors' porches, drink all the milk and then smash the bottles in the street so that the automobile tires will explode?" The child sat up and saked for his treasures. HER LATER IMPULSE "Since you think we made a mistake in becoming engaged, Gloriana," said the young man, with tears in his voice, "I submit to your decision! But you will give me a goodbye kiss, will you not?" "Yes." He clasped her to his bosom in a close embrace and planted a passionate, lingering kiss upon her lips. "Perhaps, Ravenel," she murmured, gently disengaging herself, "we might be making a greater mistake to—to separate. If you like—we will—let matters remain as they are—while longer—" LAST RETORT. "Pa, what is meant by an 'emergency diet'?" "That depends on where you are, my son. In the polar regions dog meat is an emergency diet. In the average town it's pork and beans." VERY SIMPLE. "What is your theory about the increased price of living?" "I think it is because things cost more." "Are you afraid of the yellow peril?" "Sure, if it's a lemon." STRONG FIGURE OF SPEECH Colored Deacon's Prayer Lacked Nothing In Force Because Couched In Primitive Language. One of the English instructors at the University of Kansas makes a hobby of forceful and picturesque language. Primitive people, he contends, because of their scant supply of words, are forced to use figures of speech to express themselves and, consequently, use much more picturesque language than the educated classes, which have an extensive vocabulary from which to pick and choose. "I had been invited to deliver an address at the dedication of a colored church in Richmond," says the minister, "and at its conclusion, in recognition of the tireless efforts of an aged colored deason to collect funds for the new edifice, I invited him to offer prayer. He included me in his supplication something like this: "Gib this pore brudder de eye of de eagle, dat he spy out sin afar off. Glue his hands to de gospel plow. Tie his tongue to de line of truf. Nail his years to de gospel pole. Bow his head way down between his knees, O, Lord, and fix his knees way down in some lonely, dark and narrow valley, where prayer is much wanted to be made. "Noint him with de kerosene ile of salvation, and set him afire!"—Kansas City Star. HERS WAS THE RULING SPIRIT Jim Bagga Had the Physical Strength, but Little Woman the Dominating Brain. He gave palpable evidence of weighing at least 240, and he towered six feet four inches into the air. He looked as if the champion heavyweight of the prize ring might go down before him like a reed before the wind. By his side stood a little woman of five feet ten and possible ninety pounds in weight. She had the meek look of a woman who had borne much. While they waited for their car on a corner a passerby heard the giant say: "Can't you let me have a quarter, Jennie?" Jennie's voice cut the air like a hible as she said: "Now, see here, Jim Baggs, didn't I tell you before we left home that ten cents was all I intended you should have to spend? I sure did, an' I should think you had been married to me long enough to know that when I say a thing I mean it! I think I see you havin' a whole quarter to fool away on acegars an' such stuff! Now you make any more fuss and you'll stay at home the next time I come to town!"—Judge. ABSENT-MINDED Following a meeting of a woman's club recently, several young North side matrons were discussing their husbands.

Old Lady—I don't believe this sure-cure tonic is a-goin' to do me any good. Friend—It's highly spoken of in the papers. Old Lady—Yes; but I've taken forty-seven bottles, and I don't feel a hit better. I tell you what it is, Sarah, I'm beginning to think these newspaper editors don't know everything.—New York Weekly. Warden's Little Act of Dishonesty Saved His Life Through Discovery He Made. A Warsaw bookkeeper named Schneider was awaiting his trial, being charged with fraud. As his health was bad his family sent him many little delicacies unknown to the prison fare, delicacies which, doubtless, his custodian shared. One day, amongst other things, a huge iced cake appeared. The warder's children were fond of cake, so was his wife. They therefore determined to annex half the cake for their own consumption. Their astonishment was great when, upon applying a knife to the dainty, it stuck below the icing and refused to budge. "It must be baked to a cinder," said Mrs. Warder. But her husband, suspecting that something worse than careless baking was responsible for the cake's hardness, cut round the sides, and was rewarded by finding a revolver and seven cartridges buried in the paste. When arraigned before the authorities Schneider confessed that he had intended to shoot his jailers and escape from limbo before his trial. "After all," said the warder, pensively, when relating the episode, "honesty is not always the best policy. If my wife had not cut into that cake I should have been a dead man by now, for I sleep hard." GOOD STARTER Corn Miss Coed—The girls are to have running races this afternoon. Mr. Gurl—What does the starter start them with—pistol? Miss Coed—Oh! no; he simply yells "Mouse?" DUTY OF PARENTS. Summarizing the parents' duties, a writer in the Mothers' Magazine says: "To that child they owe the daily revelation of the best of their natures. The child must see that unfaithfulness to its own, to the stranger, to the state and to God is the real working purpose of life, and that love is the handmaiden of loyalty. Then shall constancy unfold within its heart, open with the undying fragrance of the roses of unyielding faith in all that is true." SOME HEAT. "I hew come to tell yes, Mrs. Malone, that yer husband met with an accident." "A what is it, now?" wailed Mrs. Malone. "He is overcome by the heat, mum." "Overcome by the heat, was he? An' how did it happen?" "He fell into the furnace at the foundry, mum."—Tit-Bits. TOO EASILY ABRIDGED "You want your name changed, do you? What is your objection to 'Blackwell Arnold Moore'?" "Your honor, about half the letters I get come addressed to 'Blackamore'—and I'm as white a man as your honor is!" HARD-WORKING FAN. "Spudkin is a rather inconsistent fellow. He'll leave a card on his desk saying, 'This is my busy day,' and go right out to a baseball game." "Oh, well, if you could see him roaring on the bleachers you would think it was his busy day." AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The negro should not seek aid outside in accomplishing anything for his uplift that he can possibly accomplish without. We should help ourselves all we possibly can. Much has been done to help the race to attain unto its present position, and much must still be done. It takes more than fifty years of giving, praying and laboring to blot out the sins of 250 years of slavery, supplemented by generations of barbarism. He should be helped in the most practical and effective way. He should not be helped in doing what he can do for himself. He should not be pitted nor censured for not working, but should be given an opportunity to enter any position for which he is fitted, and go up or down on his merit. Very often where money is given it is not the thing that the negro needs most. He needs fair play and a chance to earn money to educate his own children and to buy his own home. It is also observed in this matter of giving that many of our most deserving institutions are entirely overlooked and often those who are the most reckless in management, resultless in endeavors, untruthful in the presentation of their cause, not only get a hearing, but get money. We do not censure people who give, because in their hearts they are exceedingly anxious to help the race, but we do censure the negroes who know the truth and will not put these representatives of fake institutions out of business. Our own ministers and devoted laymen, both men and women, must take up their own work of race uplift, of rescue, of provision for the needy and fallen of their own people. So The Age would encourage all those of the race everywhere, both men and women, who are engaged in the work, or assisting it, of reaching the man and woman of the race in the street, whether they be on the downward way or are slowly falling to it. And we have this assurance amply demonstrated, that if we will begin the good work, even by organizing to do it and putting in our pennies, plenty of white people with plenty of money will be drawn to it and amply assist it; but they require a sign, and the sign is the evidence that we are organized and doing as best we can the things needful to be done for our own—New York Age. Turn over a new leaf by starting a bank account in a savings institution. Start with a nickel if you can't do it with a dollar. Start it; that's the main thing, and add to it every week, if it be but a nickel, for fifty-two weeks. A man feels better towards himself and the rest of mankind when he has a penny where he can put his right hand upon it then when he has nothing—and the rest of mankind thinks better of such a man. A negro accompanied William Clark of Lewis and Clark's expedition, which in 1840, explored the sources of the Missouri river and gained for the United States the vast and rich extent of land known as the Oregon country. To remove ink stains from colored wash goods cover spots with lard, rub well, then wash in usual manner. While this method is simple, it is sure and will not injure the most delicate colors. The turn in the lane is sometimes better if it had not turned at all. Negroes among the first adventurers to look for gold in California, and when John C. Fremont, in 1848, made his desperate and disastrous attempt to find a pathway across the Rocky mountains, he was accompanied by a negro named Saunders. Suede shoes that have become shiny and worn looking can be freshened by rubbing them with fine sand-paper. A coarse cloth dipped in salt and water and rubbed over straw matting will prevent it from turning yellow. Races may hook and races may crook, but the fool bets on forever. A negro by the name of Little Stephen was the first discoverer of the country of Zunnis, what is now called New Mexico. Insist upon all the clothing in the family wash being plainly marked. There is nothing so annoying to whoever puts away the clothes as to guess to whom the different pieces belong. Time is the decisive factor in the accomplishment of any great purpose. The races have accomplished most and of a lasting character in the past who possessed the greatest patience in working out their problems of whatever sort. The Chinese, the Egyptian and the Aryan races are the greatest in this respect of all those who have "Survived the wreck of matter and the crush of worlds." They have built for the ages because they were not in a hurry about it and preferred thoroughness in the workmanship that required infinite time and patience, to immediate results, rushed through in a hurry, with the least expenditure of time and patience, and therefore, all the more subject to the gradual mutation of wear and tear. The New York East river bridges and the subways are works of the character that required time and patience, and were built for the future as well as for the present. The growth of character and the material evidences of growth are always a slow and tedious process, in the individual as in the race and nation. The National Negro Business league was organized in Boston thirteen years ago. Its growth has been progressive, and the good it has accomplished by precept rather than example has been more far reaching than its organizers could have dreamed of. It has had but one president, two chairmen of the executive committee and two treasurers since its organization, although the membership has steadily increased in numbers and improved in character. The business activities of the race have been vitalized and expanded with the years, so that where they were but few they are now to be found in every nook and corner of the republic, modest indeed but full of the promise of large growth. The business league has blazed the way for them, and will continue to do so, if our business men are wise enough to keep it alive in the future, when they no longer need to be led in the way they should go. The activity of colored lawyers in the District of Columbia partially prevents such unwarranted arrests of colored people there as are made farther south. When such a thing is done, and the colored lawyer is successful in getting your acquittal before the court, the policeman who made the unwarranted arrest is frequently made to answer before the trial board. Once he is clear from the trial board, he is ever afterward more careful. The liberty of the colored people in any community in this country will be great. In proportion to the unrestrained activity of colored lawyers in their midst; and their liberty will be curtailed in proportion to the prevention and suppression of colored lawyers. Members and the ministers of the African Methodist conference in Indianapolis and in the south have started a movement to raise $100,000 as part of the Freedmen's Aid society, fund to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the negro's freedom. White members of the Methodist conference have agreed to raise $100,000, providing the negroes obtain $100,000. The fund will go to the general fund for maintenance, endowment, repairs, and new buildings of institutions for the education of the negro. Dr. I. Garland Penn of Cincinnati, secretary of the Freedmen's Aid society, has general charge of the negro campaign. A historical study at Harvard university revealed the following: Negroes accompanied the first Spanish explorers and discoverers of America across the lathmus of Panama, with Halbos, and assisted in constructing the first ship that was launched in the Pacific. They were with Cortez in Mexico. Negroes were with DeSoto in 1640 and the first stranger who settled in the state of Alabama, was one of the negroes who accompanied DeSoto on his march through the state.

Very quietly, and yet ae a part of a movement that is nation-wide, new societies have been formed of late among the boys in some of the teading high schools of Boston and vicinity. The societies are not of that class which is under the ban of the school authorities in many cities. Seer they ave of the kind ‘hat deserve all encouragement. They are not secret or snobbisr or sectari- im. Their motto is “Play the game,” ind they are formed to encourage three kinds of cleanness—clean ath- \etics, clean speech and clean living. The organizstion ia rather loose—lit- de more than the signing of a pledge zard, the wearing of o pin and occa- sional meetings—but by “playing the game” ail-the time the influence of these clube is great and far-reaching. At ® recent basket ball game the seferee was amazed at the good spirit with which the losing team took many close decisions. Later, in cown- tenting on the matter, he learned that the boys belong to what his in- formant called “the clean athletics slab” and the mystery was explained, for in the ethics of the members clean athletics means no dirty play- ing, no wrangling, no kicking at seach or referee and no rough house.

SAD ier é ners Cnary OF Storekeeper Evidently Re- membered the Daye When He Was in Love. Senator Root, praising one of the American pictures at the recent in- ternational exhibition in New York, said it was a poetical as an old storekeeper he had known. in his boyhood. “This storekesper,” he went- on, “was always doing kind things and saying lively ones. I remember a spring when he was having his store repainted. He told the painter to leave a certain corner untouched for the time being ; he explained that the young people at that season did al) their courting there, and he didn’t want them to get smudged. @ “But,” objected the painter, ‘these young folks would be fools not to know the amell of fresh paint.’ “Young fellow,’ said the old storekeeper, you’ve never had a girl, that’s plain. If you had, you’d know that when folks are in love, every- thing, wet paint included, smelis like violets and roses.’ ” MUCH IN MENTAL ATTITUDE To Refrain From Dwelling on One's Poor Circumstances Will Hep Largely to Forget. The mental attitude determines the tendency of the life. According to this law, there is everything in feeling rich, rich in everything that is good for us, everything that will help us to become what we intend to become. Many people have so long felt poor and imagined that their lives must necessarily be dry and barren of com- forte and luxuries which others en- joy that they have encouraged such conditions. The habit of feeling that you are poor and unfortunate, that the good things of life are for others but not for you, that there is something in the universe which per- mits suc conditions, is deadening to all the nobler impulses, deadening to all that makes character, all that makes life beautiful —Orisen Swett Marden, in Nautilus. GREAT INVENTIONS RARE. Invention to ome extent resembles mining. Thousands of miners plod wearily through the mountains and valleys searching for precious met- als or outcroppings of ore. One among thousands strikes the big bo- nanza, About 800 patents are issued every week by the United States pat- ent office, Only one in many years is for something startlingly new and meaning millions of dollars to the inventor or the people who may gain control of it. Only about one in- ventor in every hundred secures a monetary return which will equal the cost of the invention and patent. Of the 40,090 or 50,000 patents is- sued every year there are few which are of such importance as to attract widespread attention, and onty at tong intervals is there an invention which revolutionizes conditions, such as the telegraph, telephone, the pho- nograph, typesetting machines, wire- less telegraphy, aerial navigation, and moving pictures—Arthur Wal- lace Dunn, in Leslie’a, POSSIBILITIES, »“What was your interview like?” “We both said good morning, agreed that it was pleasant weather and that our party properly man- aged will have « great future and expressed a hope of another meeting before long.” “What's the advantage of an in- terview like that?” “Having been held in private, it may easily give the impression that I am one, of these trusted odvisers you read about,” PHYSICAL IMPOSSIBILITY “That fellow certainly did throw me down.” “Well, did you expect a square desi from a rounder?” (TS KIND, “here ia one big national eaier- prise which is very paradoxical.” “What is that?” “Trying to land waterways.” JOIN IN HARMONIOUS WHOLE What Might Be Described as Crockery Orchestra May Be Heard |) Department Store. For odd musical effects you want to wander through the chine de- partment of some great slore on 6 day when they are having a bargain sale and many people are handling the dishes, Customers are constant ly picking up single pieces for in- spection and then setting them back again among the other dishes on the table and the sounds produced as dish hits dish are many and various. From some big, heavy platter you get what might answer for a deep bass note and from some thin, tiny, delicate cup the high treble, and you may hear all the notes between, sonmetimes confused and mixed, sometimes heard running almost in a scale and sometimes with a chim- ing effect. These dishes have many sounds. Here is one that has the odd note of a cowbell. Some bigger, thicker pieces of coarses clay give a sound clear but cold, Many pieces of finer quality have a distinct musical reso- nance. All over the great space, from near and far you hear the vari- ous notes, sometimes singly, some- times in disjointed groups. This is the crockery orchestra—New York Sun. ° LUCKY ap LG. a ope e Z “ey fe i J Gh Le mil | AH 5 aH 6 t Vit > tl Ja G seat tS \ 7 RY Sl = “Did you have any good luck al the crap game last night?” “Well, I should say so!

Alas! the replies to Mrs. Robin- son’s inquiries showed that the would-be cook was not quite all that she professed to be. “I am afraid,” she said in as kind- ly a manner as possible when the domestic called again, “that I am not altogether satisfied with your refer- ences.” “Neither am I,” replied the maid. “till, they're the best I could get.” SAME THING.

For thrée Happy months his engagement to Marjorie glided along so smoothly aa.tocset mt naught the old saw about the course of true love, But now, even as he dressed with the utmost care to call upon the cause of his perplexity, he reviewed the situation with growing depression. It had gone on for nearly three weeks. At first there was nothing beyond a little absent- mindedness on Marjorie’s part now and then; an air of meditating upon some problem unknown to him. Then she had begun to act strangely in regard to bis calls. Why should she bite her lip and look confused when he mentioned the date of his next one and make excuses, saying she had “promised to attend to some- thing else on that evening?” Mighty queer, that; especially when it hap- vened repeatedly and when she had assured him so sweetly, at first, that sothing could ever, ever interfere with her wanting te see him and that the wanted him to come just ao often as he could { He proceeded to the next count, rushing his thick, brown hair with a intensity that\threatened to dev troy permanently iis engaging stinkle. Swiee, when he had come tate the room, she had been reading something that looked like ® letter ond had whisked it guiltily out of tight, showing traces of embarrass- ment. Then things had got steadily vorse, he mused, scowling as he ad- justed a most becoming green tie. Se had fallen co low as to call sev- eral times when he knew he was not expected, on some pretext or other, end on each of the occasions things had happened—queer, unexplainable things! Onee he had arrived very early, and“Marjorie’s younger sister, Wan, had met him in the ball and had looked dismayed, ax well sa eur- prised, he could have sworn. He wasn’t sure whether he quite liked Nan, anyhow, with her keen, black eyes and bluff, ironical manner, though she always seemed cordial enough. She had run back swiftly to the library with a quick, “Wait a minute?” and he had heard Marjorie sty in 2 low, troubled voice, ‘Oh, of course, aot tonight, sow that. he’s heve;gyou’ll telephone right awey, won’t you?” Then she had come to welcome hiro, apparently hee frank, sweet self; but the memory of those first moments of confusion would not down. Then had followed the worst and most mysterious circumstance of all. ‘Only jast week, arriving unexpected- iy at Marjerie’s, he had been admit- fed by an evideatly new and stupid maid, who had Jeft him standing in the hall while she disappeared into theliving room. We began to remove his overcoat, just outside the library door, when through the thiek por- tieves he heard Marjorie’s voire in eatnest protest. “Philip,” she was saying, in low, tense tones, “you must not speak to me in thie way! ¥ cannot deny, Philip, that your per- sonality is a fascinating and brilliant one; that, perhaps, were I free again— But do not tempt me? 1 am hound in all honor to a good, true man, and—” Just.then her father bustled out from the living room, on the other side of the hall, and pulled him in to look over some summer cottage-plans, before he went to Mar- jorie, explaining that the maid bad called him, by mistake. He had to go, of course; but while he listened tothe old gentleman with one ear, the other had caught a half whisser, quick-and anxious, across the hall. “Not that way! Go into the dining-room and’ wait a little while; Nan will help you!” Dick SHE LOVES HER TOWN. “My wife and mysélf have imade up.” “T throught she went to some sage- brush town to get a divorce.” “She, did, but it required ix months to give her a residence.

And this Philip? Who was he? The orily man he knew who owned that name was.Phil Marquette, dark, sin- ister-looking, half French—the very man for intrigue; but he was sure his innocent Marjorie had never met that adventurous youth. “Well, one thing is certain,” Dick announced to the determined face in the glass. “This thing is going to be settled tonight! I’M make. Ma- jorie tell me what it means, or—” A threatening shake of his head fin- ished the sentence, and he plunged into his overcoat and out of the front door with an air of finality. The placid Swedish maid, who by this time knew his status in the family, smiled broadly as she let him in, “Mees Marjorie in de lib’ry,” she volunteered. “I guess maybe you go right in.” And she left him. He walked toward the doorway, but was halted abruptly by Marjorie’s voice, raised in unmistakable distress and indignation. “I have given yon no cause to presume in this way, Philip { Sir, if you attempt to kiss me again T shall cal] for help. Yes, I am ex- pecting every moment one who has proved himself noble—one to whom my happiness is dear?” Ab, she was expecting him! Dick's chest ex- panded at the sweet confidence in her voice. He would prove to his perse~ cuted darling that her faith was jus- tified! He— Again her voice, close, to the portieres, and heavy with ap- prehension, as she soliloquized : s*Oh, why, why doesn’t Arthur come? Why should he be late, tonight, in my hour of need ?” Diek stood petrified by this new complication. Arthur? A little in~ voluntary: groan of perplexity es- eaped him and betrayed bis. presence to those im the library. “Hide in the aleove—quick !” came Marjorie’s terrified whisper; “I'll draw the eur- tains!” Dick set his teeth and walked in, straight up t Marjcrie, whe stood before the aleove, breath- ing fast, with red cheeks, trying to regain -her composure and look *as though her low-cut gown of flaming nasturtium satin was her usual choice choice for a quiet evening at home. “Marjorie,” said Dick, firmly, “I can’t stand this mystery any longer! You know I’m not a ‘buttinsky’ by nature, but it does seem fo me I’ve a right to know the meaning of a few things I couldn’t help overhear- ing. Why do you admit this cad, Philip, who is annoying you? And who io Arthur, and what right has. he?” Then relenting, as she turned away suddenly to hide her face in her hands, “Sweetheart, what is troub- ling you? Can’t you trust me to help you?” She threw herself on the sofa, her face still hidden, shaking with hys- terigal emotion, while he waited help- lessly. “Oh, Dick, dear!” she gasped; then rising, she walked toward the alcove curtains. “Phil- ip,” she called feebly, “come out“and we'll "fess up 2” From the aleove stepped @ slim figure in evening clothes, high hat and long’ overcoat, which the owner drew about him modestly and sub- sided into a large easy chair. A sec~ ond glance at the face, with its dark mustache, showed Dick the laughing eyes aod equare, boyish chin of—Nan! Marjorie cotlapsed again into helpless laughter, while Dick stared, with a slow grin of com- prehension. Nan rewoved the mus- tache, and tenderly felt her upper lin.

You'll forgive ime, won't you?” Dick’s manner indicated en- tire forgiveness, and Nan tose with dignity. “If you’re going to be spony,” she remarked with pretend- ed primness, ill suiting her costume, “it’s time for your hated rival to de- part from the painful spectacle.

Peopie ave amiling at the little passage of arms which took place be- tweep two young womertat a lunch- eon the other day. One of the women is » bautiful blonde, « bride, and she: comes from Manchester. No matter who the other woman is, but the bride met hev first at the aforceaid Juncheon, nd, shaking hands in her characteristically cordial way, enid: “I’m 20 glad to meet you. You have afforded me so much smuse- ment,” “Amusement ?” said the other. 9, “Oh, yes,” went on the bride. I've been throngh my husband's desk, and I've read all his old love letters. I found several very warm and af- fectionate letters from you, and I en- joyed reading them ever so much.” “I'm 20 glad you enjoyed them,” purred the other. “But do come and see me very soon. 1 have the answers to all thove letters, and you might like to read them. Mr. X’s letters are ever so much warmer and nore affectionate than those I wrote bim. 1 know you'll enjoy reading them ever so much more than you did mine.” MARRYING YOUNG. ‘The mayor of Boston and Guorge iee Burton, author of “Tackling Matrimony,” seem to have reached the same conclusions in regard to the advisability of marrying young. “It’s a great deal better,” says the mayor, “for a young couple to atruggle along together and have their little home and their little family than it is fo live singly until the man has gath- ered a pile.” And one of the char- acters of “Tackling Matrimony” de- declares, “It isu’t marrying young that’s foolish. It’s marrying young and putting on old style.” But both —mayor and author—show that it is the kind of woman chosen which makes of the experiment @ success or failure. MEXICAN CONDITIONS. They were holding a race meet. “What's the matter with this horse you brought from Juarez?” de- manded one of the judges. “Tha public is burning up its money on him, yet he can’t run a little bit.

Walnut Biscuits—Delicious and uncommon biscuits for afternoon tea may be made from the following recipe: One pound of flour, four ounces of butter, the same quantity of sugar, one egg, and three ounces of finely-chopped walnuts. Beat butter and sugar together, adding the egg, thoroughly whisked. Stir in the flour very gradually, working it into the other ingredients till all becomes a smooth yellow paste. Turn on to a floured board and knead in the walnuts with the fingers. Roll out, cut into shapes with a fancy cutter, and make in a slow oven for half an hour. Walnut Roll—Shell and skin four ounces of walnuts and chop very small, place one pound of icing sugar in a bowl, adding part of the white of one egg and a dessertspoonful of water Stir vigorously, add part of the nuts, then more egg, proceeding in this manner till all the nuts are added. Mix in five drops of almond flavoring, and turn the mixture onto a sugared board. Knead with the fingers and shape into a roll. Put away for several hours in a cool place till thoroughly set, then cut in slices and arrange on fancy dishes. HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS Spareribs should be parboiled before roasting. Creamed cauliflower, served in green shells, is a pretty and tempting dish. It is best to roast or pan chicken with the breast down. It will be more juicy. For 15 cents you can buy a little device designed for sprinkling clothes evenly. If a bag of sulphur is kept in the bird cage it will drive away lice in hot weather. Left-over jelly of several different kinds mixed together can be used for cake filling. Do not put salt in the water in which peas are cooked. It will cause the skins to crack. When rubber gloves wear into holes try mending them with surgical adhesive plaster. Try adding a leaf of spinach to water in which peas are cooked; they will keep a good color. Rub brown sugar on a sliced ham before boiling it. The ham will have a delicious flavor. Cleaning a Chenille Tablecloth Cleaning a Chemilab tablecloth. The almost only safe means of cleaning a chenille tablecloth will be by dry-cleaning it: Use a quart of bran or cornmeal, mixed with a handful of salt. Heat it in the oven without scorching it, then rub it well into all parts of the cloth just as with suds. Finally roll up with the meal scattered thickly over all parts and put into a closed box to stand for a day or two, then repeat the process and the second time should show a decided improvement effected in the cloth. For any stains or obatinate soil marks sponge with a little alcohol or benzine. This will greatly improve the Rhubarb Wine. Put the stalks through a meat chopper. Measure five pounds and add a gallon of cold water, a half-ounce of gelatin, and the grated rind of a lemon. Let stand three days and then add three pounds of sugar. Let it ferment as long as it will, filling up for evaporation. Bottle and seal—Suburban Life. Chocolate Raising Seeded raisins dipped in melted sweet chocolate are very nice. If you wish to do a candy stunt get the big table raisins and seed them carefully without breaking them off the stem. Then dip each one in the chocolate. To Stop a Curtain. If your curtain rolls up too violently and winds itself over and over the roller, put a screeweye in the wood stick at the bottom, and then, if you happen to release the curtain suddenly, it will not wind over the roller. Luncheon Dish. These corn puffs may be made from the canned or fresh corn: Mix one and a half cupful of corn with half a cupful of milk and the yolks of two eggs, beaten. Stir in half a teaspoonful of salt, one and one-half cupfuls of pastry flour and a round teaspoonful of baking powder. Fold in the beaten whites after the other ingredients are thoroughly mixed.

FACE ALMOST COVERED WITH PIMPLES AND BLACKHEADS Aitchison, Kan.—"For a number of years I suffered very greatly from skin eruption. My face was very red and irritated, being almost covered with pimples and blackheads. The pimples were scattered over my face. They were a fine rash with the exception of a few large pimples on my forehead and chin. My face burned and looked red as if exposed to either heat or cold. It was not only unsightly but very uncomfortable. I tried several remedies but couldn't get any relief. I was recommended to use Cuticure Soap and Cuticure Ointment. "I applied the Cuticura Ointment in the evening, leaving it for about five minutes, then washing it off with Cuticura Soap and hot water. I washed with the Cuticura Soap and hot water also several times during the day. After about four months of this application, my face was cleared of the pimples. I still use the Cuticura Soap."

GOVERNOR SULZER SAYS THAT OF WESTERN CANADA. The close ties of friendship existing between the United States and Canada were dwelt upon in addresses by Premier Robert L. Borden, of Canada, and Governor Sulzer, at the annual dinner of the University Club of Albany. "Canada and the United States," said Premier Borden, "have a common heritage in the language, the literature, the laws, the institutions and the traditions which have come down to them from the men of bygone days. "Perhaps no more instructive object lesson ever has been given to the world than the four thousand miles of undefended boundary line from the Atlantic to the Pacific, which bears silent but eloquent testimony to the mutual confidence and respect of the two nations. Time will shortly place upon the brow of each nation the laurel of one hundred years of peace. It matters not so much as to the form of the outward celebration, but let us hope that its full significance may sink deep into the hearts of both nations, and that, whether north or south of the -boundary, we may stand with bowed and reverent heads, offering grateful thanks for the Divine blessing of peace, and earnest prayers that in the century to come, mutual confidence, good-will and respect may truly animate the ideals and aspirations of both nations." Referring to the natural resources possessed by the United States and Canada, particularly along the St. Lawrence River, the premier urged that they be "preserved and developed for the people." Governor Sulzer predicted that the "Great Canadian Northwest is designed to become, before long, the granary of North America." "Many of our best citizens, I regret to say," said the governor, "are leaving the States of the west and going into the Canadian northwest, because of the fertility of its soil, the liberality of the Canadian government and the ability of those people to better their conditions here. "We should extend to them a helping hand in their onward march of progress. Instead of closing our doors by tariff barriers against these countries and their products, in my opinion, we should open them wider and do everything in our power to facilitate closer commercial relations. We want their products and they want our products, and all restrictions to prevent a fairer and freer exchange of goods, wares and merchandise should, in so far as possible, be eliminated."—Advertisement. Short Hatpin Law. We have observed a disposition in the newspapers outside of Massachusetts to belittle the law against long hatpins that will become effective early in April. There is one exception, however. The New York Sun, which used to boast that it "shines for all," takes a sane view of the matter. "The protection of life and limb," declares the Sun, "cannot be deemed sumptuary legislation. Is it not reasonable to approve the Massachusetts statute just passed providing that the deadly end of hatpins worn in public shall be sheathed. The raplier is not less beautiful with a foil. The hatpin scabbard can be made esthetic; the fears of man can be allayed, his miserable life spared. Sovereign woman can still slay with her eyes; she needn't put out the other fellow's." No, she need not, and it is within her power to make the penalties of the new law harmless by setting the fashion of wearing a protector. Let her heed the advice of the Sun and make the scabbard of the hatpin esthetic. As already suggested, let the federated clubs address themselves to this troublesome problem and the affair can be settled to everybody's satisfaction within a very short time.—From the Lynn Item. Great Writer Unappreciative. The Italian poet D'Annunzio is evidently not a very gracious person, but there is nevertheless something to admire in his refusal of the villa offered to him by his native town of Pezeara. But he might have couched the refusal in terms a little more suave. "I do not require either worldly or spiritual presents," he wrote. "I am perfectly satisfied with myself, and live where I like, in houses chosen by myself." One Result. Upgardson—Do you notice any particular effect since you quit smoking? Atom—Yes; the man who used to sell me my cigars passes me on the street now without speaking.
