METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE CHICAGO, ILL. 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 behalf 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 fiftieth milestone should tell wonders for us in the salvation of others. May God awaken each of us to our duty. I am.

March 26 about 63 or 70 years ago of the parents of Nathaniel and Edith Robinson, the 3rd child of the family of 7 children 2 girls and 5 boys, Mary, Ann, William, Napoleon, Addison and Samuel; all of whom preceeded him to the great beyond. The subject of this sketch was a soldier of the Civil War and was honorably discharged and came from Cairo, in 1867. He was united in the bonds of matrimony to Miss Mary Barton June 3rd 1867 in the City of Cairo from which Union 3 children were born and survive him, Mrs. Kempie Gibson of Bloomington, Addison of Muskogee Okla, and Mrs. Louise Jarriett of this city. He professed a hope in Christ about 43 years ago and was baptized by Eld. J. Houston and joined the African Baptist Church was licensed, ordained by the said church and called to the pastorate of said church and pastored same for 27 years During his ministerial labors he pastored the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church Kentucky, Carrier Mills, Baptist Church, Siloam Baiptst Church, Mt Hebron Baptist Church, Round Knob and the Rock Hill Baptist Church at Carbondale for 25 pears and was in charge at his death. He departed this life May 16, 2:30 p.m. 1913 in the City of Metropolis. He was confined to his room only about 3 years. He was a good husband, a lodging father, a tender and forgiving Christian, a strong logical minister. He filled many useful and important places in the Mt. Olive Baptist Association, having served as Moderator of the Mt. Olive Baptist Association for one year, treasurer and member of the Executive Board several times. He was one of the prime movers in the Livingston College and was an ardent supporter of Educational Institution and Trustee of said Institution at his death. He went into an agreement several years ago with Eld. 52. Allison his bosom friend that he went first to preach his funeral. Among the last words spoken by him were "The inward man is alright I prepared long ago and all that I mind is the suffering" and died immediately. He leaves a sorrowing widow, children and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his loss, but his loss is Heaven's gain. He has finished his course and fought the fight and now is resting from his labors looking for you and for me. Resolutions of Condolence Whereas Rev. F.

A place is vacant in the church and home; Which never can be filled. God in his wisdom has recalled The boon his love had given, And though the body slumbers here, The soul is safe in Heaven.

Cs i a“ DESERVE WELL OF COUNTRY ‘Two Men Share Honor of Inventing lceCream Soda, That Summer Necessity, Tee cream has been a dominating inflyenge in the pi of the soda water Yiidustry non te advent of the pure fruit syrups. The addition of {his Snquga-cpalate-ticklex to soda water not only improved the richness and smoothness of the beverage, but at the same time inereased its food value. With the advent of the luscious sundag came still additional in- crease in the consumption of both soda and ice cream at fountains. Everyone kno~n just how tempting the appearance of the ice eteam with the added syrup, fruits and nuts—a combination pleasing alike to eye palate. ; There are many claimants to the honor of “I did it first,” as there are to almost all of the combinations represented by the modern menu or. dispenser’s guide, but whoever thought of the sundae first did a good thing, for which the public as well as the fountain industry owe a vote of thanks, : $n the spring of 1874. Robert Mi. Green of Philadelphia secured a con- ceesion to dispense coda water at an exposition held under the a pices of the Franklin institute ‘t Philadelphia, and stress of buainesa compelled him to do something to attract the patronage of the public. At all events, such was the inspira- tion—according to Mr, Green— which prompted him to put ice put ice cream in soda waier. Fred Sanders of Detroit was a prominent confectioner of the Michi- gan city. ‘The inspiration to use ice eream with soda waier came to Mr, Sanders one night when his plain eream had soured and, without the knowledge that it had already been used as a component of soda water in the east, Mr. Sanders used ice. eveam and featured it—The Phar- maceutical Era. = TRUTH BIDNTT PAY = om Pet Sle“ ton Cireumstances, you see, have a great deal to do With how things turn out with me and with you.

Pictrue a grandfather, aged sev- enty-three, working the greater part ‘of the year on a composite mechan- ‘ical toy that will please his little grandson at Christmas time. That man is J. G. Handwerker of No, 866 North Seventh street, Memphis, tenn. Each winter he evolves eome- ‘thing out of the ordinary for Earl Becker,; his ten-year-old grandson. But the best part of the work is that it is good for the entire year and is a delight to grown-ups as well as youths. There now is in opera- tion in his home a mechanical pro- duction that is the envy of the neigh- borhood children and is visiter by many adults who marvel at the pa- tience and the precision required ‘to produce the spectacle. The toy ex- tends entirely across a sixteen-foot room. It represents a mountain sur- mounted by a Christmas tree that reaches to the ceiling. In the fore- ground, scattered over the mountain, are thirty mechanical figures. A bucking broncho is trying to throw its rider, an elephant ie beating drum, a housewife is shown sweep- ing before her electrically lighted home, and several automobiles are seen ascending the mountain. A monkey climbs up and down a rope suspended from a tree and there are other trained animals. The entire spectacle is driven by springs, belts and pulleys. SAILOR REFUSED A THRONE Dusky Princess Went With Offer of Rulership, So He Went Back to England. ‘The death has occurred at the age of ninety-three of Capt. Philip H. Nicholls @? Manchester, England, who had e long and adventurous life on the sea. A native of Sidmouth, Devon, Captain Nichols became a sailor when he was thirteen. For thirty- five years he followed his profession, and among his ships was one-of the famous “tex clippers” which made quick passages. from London to Hongkong before steamships became common. His strangest adventure was when he was cruising in the Pacific. At the Sulu islands he became a favor- ite with the vulers, who conferrec royal honors on him, presented him with the sword of state and other regalia and offered to give him an icland fov himself if he would settle there, But the gallant captain discov- ered that in the background was an alliance with a dusky princess. His affections were already engaged, so he rejected the offer and returned to the sea.—New York Herald. ARTIFICIAL TIME DIVISIONS, The week is not a real divisiow of time, for there is no change in na- ture to mark it. It is part of the religious marking off of time, but in the sense of nature's division it is wholly artificial. This is not true of night and day, which we would know for divisions, even had they no names, nor of the year, for while man has given to the months their names, ihey are really marked off from each other by sharp variations of weather. May is really different from June, and October from No- vember, NEEDLESS WORRY. “Why the cogitation ?” “I dislike to take my engagement ring to a jeweler, and yet I should like to know what it cost.

But it was a dubi- ous Botticelli. So Morgan shook his head over it and said: “My collection contains only masterpieces, and every one of these masterpieces is authenticated.” “But,” said I, ‘there’s one fake in your collection—a fake Benvenu- to Cellini.’ “How do you know it’s a fake?’ said Mr. Morgan contemptuoualy. “ “Because I sold it to you myself,’ said 1. ss “These millionaires are like chil- dren in our hands when they begin to collect objects of art.

Perhaps the visitor who gets away from the large centers and into the rural life of the Japanese is impressed first by their use of all their resources. The country is populated far more thickly than the American can well imagine, and the struggle for existence, always increasing with the rapidly growing population, has become so acute that the Japanese cannot afford to waste a straw. The sea and the land must be searched for whatever can be eaten or worn. Even the seaweed and the gelopus serve for food. Nothing is wasted and examples of thriftiness must be seen to be believed, the Watchman says. Hillsides that would be given up in America as untillable have been converted into rice fields in forty irrigated terraces rising above each other on a single slope and made permanent by walls of masonry. If there is no water on the hillside it can be carried to the topmost terrace on the backs of the farmers and whatever is not absorbed by the first bit of soil or the second or third finds its way to a lower level. If the hillside is rocky, even soil itself may be taken from some distant deposit to the aerial terraces. In most countries the straw of the grain is of little value, but not so in Japan, where nothing is wasted. When no food values are left the straw is converted into bags for grain, shoes for the feet, raincoats for the body, roofs for the houses, paper mats, screens, beds and numerous other articles.

"Yesterday," said Mr. Pozozzie ruefully, "I had it brought forcibly home to me that there is a vast difference between a smart man and a smart alec. A smart man may possess a discriminating sense of humor, but a smart alec is one of those feeble-minded folk who send out funny boomerangs on the slightest provocation, and they always come back and hit him with whizzing sound. This is how I made the discovery: Mrs. Pozozzie and I were out for our daily constitutional. You know some people walk to get thin, but my wife is different—she walks to get fat. Fat is the one dear hope of Mrs. Pozozzie's existence. She would like to be upholstered. Last evening she said to me: 'Oliver, if I could just get fifteen pounds, even, I would be so much happier.' 'Fifteen pounds?' said I, the smart alec. 'Do you mean avoidpois or English currency?' She is too smart for me, that wife of mine, and she saw her chance. "This time," she answered sweetly, "I would choose the currency.' And I had to figure out the amount in our money and make good." When Bobble Lost Faith.

Absolutely No Admittance. The New York Evening Post reminds us of a good story told of the late Lord Wolseley, of Sir Garnet Woolsey as he then was, during the military occupation of Egypt. Deeming it advisable, for obvious reasons, to place a guard around the harem of a local potentate, a brother officer, strolling into an adjacent garden, was halted by a sentinel. "Hi, sir; you mustn't go there, sir!!" "Don't you see who I am?" protested the officer. "I am Colonel Blank of the—," "Yes, sir, I know," interrupted the trooper, respectfully; "but they're leddles livtn' in that 'oune, an' th' horders I'm Sir Garnet is that 'e' not to be let to go in there 'iself—no matter 'ow bad he wants to."

I regard it as an excellent medicine for children." Dr. Gustave A. Eisengraeber, of St. Paul, Minn., says: "I have used your Castoria repeatedly in my practice with good results, and can recommend it as an excellent, mild and harmless remedy for children." Dr. E. J. Dennis, of St. Louis, Mo., says: "I have used and prescribed your Castoria in my sanitarium and outside practice for a number of years and find it to be an excellent remedy for children." Dr. S. A. Buchanan, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "I have used your Castoria in the case of my own baby and find it pleasant to take, and have obtained excellent results from its use." Dr. J. E. Simpson, of Chicago, Ill., says: "I have used your Castoria in cases of colic in children and have found it the best medicine of its kind on the market." Dr. R. E. Eskildson, of Omaha, Neb., says: "I find your Castoria to be a standard family remedy. It is the best thing for infants and children I have ever known and I recommend it." Dr. L. R. Robinson, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria certainly has merit. Is not its age, its continued use by mothers through all these years, and the many attempts to imitate it, sufficient recommendation? What can a physician add? Leave it to the mothers." Dr. Edwin F. Pardee, of New York City, says: "For several years I have recommended your Castoria and shall always continue to do so, as it has invariably produced beneficial results." Dr. N. B.

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 Annual 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 Emma Farrow, Corresponding Secretary. Bro. Moderator and Members of the Executive Board and Deacons Union. We your Committee appointed on the 12th Street Baptist matter, submit the following as our report. RESOLUTION Whereas Rev. J. O. Griffin formerly pastor of the 12th St. Baptist Church Cairo Ill., has violated the laws and regulations of the Mt. Olive Baptist Association and Ministers and Deacons Union, Article 7th and 12th Ministers and Deacons Union, also ignored the recommendations sent to him from the Ministers and Deacons Union held with Mt. Olive Baptist Church at Colpsville in Dec. 1912 by splitting the above named church which is contrary to the teaching of the New Testament, 1st Epistle of John 19 verse, 2nd Thes. 3:6, 1st Oor. 8:13 And whereas said split would have involved the loss of the church building valued at $10.00 had it not been for the timely rescue of the Missionary, Rev. J. H. Knowles and Evangelist, Rev. T. P. Smith. Therefore he is held by us as a disorderly Baptist preacher unfit to enter any regular Baptist pulpit. Be it resolved that his name be published that all Baptist churches, associations and conventions. Committee may have the knowledge of his standing. Whereas concurring the complaint filed by 12te St. Baptist church Cairo charged with disturbing the peace of the 12th St. Baptist church Cairo and violating the articles 7 and 12 of the ministers and Deacons Union. And whereas Rev. M. W. Hayes, came before the following committee and pleaded not guilty and gave satisfactory testimony therefore be it resolved that he be exonorated from the charge. J. B McCrary The above resolution was approved by the Executive Board and ordered published in the Gazettee and all denominational papers. A Card of Thanks. To my many friends and neighbors of Metropolis, also the officers and members of the Rock Hill Baptist church, Carbondale, who so kindly assisted and administered to us by word and deed during the last illnes and death of our husband and father Rev. F. Robinson, and to Mr. and Mrs. James Roberson, the church, B. Y. P. U., S. S. W. E. & M. of Carbondale, Mrs. J. B. McCrary and friends who assssted her and all others of Metropolis who contributed so many beautiful floral offerings, the choirs, Revs. H. Allison, J. B. McCrary, and the ministers who assisted in the memorial service. We desire to extend to you our heartfelt thanks and lasting gratitude. Mary Robinson Louise Jarriett Kimpie Gibson Facts Are Stubborn Things To Overthrow We heard it said not long since by an individual that appeared to believe what he said without regards to figures and facts, that if the Missionary Baptist would do away with the close communion they would sweep the country The facts are just the reverse if that be true why not the Free Wills, take the Country The Missionary Baptist's strong hold is in doing just what the Bible says do. For instant we have only to advert to the work of the State Convention, (white) and see the work done by them last year as shown in their report: it has been a great factor but concluded that the restricted communion retarded the advancement of the work so a great many of the churches composing the state convention did not only remove the restrictions from the communion table so as to admit others to come, but they recognize alien immersion and Free Will ordination as well, and have gone into the Church Federation With all this brilliant liberalism they added to their church last year only 450. The Illinois Baptist Association (white) which has only been in existence for about six years and stands by the old time faith, added to their number 1350. We give the following quotation a clipping taking from the Globe Democrat, some time back on Church Federation. The moving to unite churches in Illinois came to an inglorious end at Tuscola today when members of the Christian and Baptist Congregation rebelled altho the Presbyterians had approved the plan. Now it is said the Churches are farther apart than ever. Is it any wonder an a definite faith be determined by such practice? Verily I say unto you. For the simple reason such an organization is but a headless monster of Monstrosities whose faith cannot be ascertained or rather which has no particular faith: without organization or order over-run with every sort of doctrine preached by almost all sorts of men without any tribunal or ecclesiastical head by which it could be purged of error. In such a body there may be plous and religious men and to my mind there is but when men who claim to be regular Baptist ministers clammering to mix up with such moves, it is high time the word of God was being drawn on them and say unto them; so far shalt thou go and no further. Let such men as Drs. Thomas Fisher, Gray, Francis, Mathews Dorden, Cole, Washington, Allison, Knowles, Armsted, Murrel Mason, Dorsey, Parrish, Hunt, Fulton, and a host of others too numerous to mention rise in their might and cry aloud, "Remove not the ancient land marks which thy fathers have set, yea not to the crossing of a T nor the doting of an I; for before one jot or title of His word shall fail Heaven and earth shall pass away." Church Federation does not mean that the baptist must not go where the other denomination have first gone to carry on their work but the baptist are forbidden to preach the doctrint of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ here in Ill., to say nothing of the Foreign field. Notice Notice is hereby given to the members of the Exectuive Board and churches throughout the Mt. Olive District that the Executive Board will meet with Bell's Chapel Baptist church, Ullin, Thursday before the 3rd 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. $55.20 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 Shiloh Baptist at Future City Revs. Norment and Hayes are the pastors. We pray for the divines. Let us as ministers come closer together. Yours in the work. D. Parrish, D. D. Moderator. INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Mr. A. J. Jefferson and wife Sadlersville, Tenn., came here to make this their future home. H. T. Jones, of Brazil, Inl. brother of Mrs. A. D. Woods. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Buford Galesburg, Ill. Jan. 13, '13 Dear Co-workers: Our work for the past year is over the new year is here and we are living through the goodness of the Heavenly Father. As the months are rolling swiftly by, we must begin to think of our state meeting which will convene in Aurora Ill., in June. Last year our president called for $500, we raised that amount and over this year the call is for $600. We can if we will with God's help raise it. Remember the needle work department. Thursday personal effort money. Friday Tag Day for education, also collection for aged ministers The circle raising the largest amount of money will receive the beautiful banner. Let the sisters of the Mission Circles begin now in earnest work Let all new circles take courage from last years work to do more this year. You that have no circles in your churches organize at once and help swell the great army of workers that are striving earnestly to spread the gospel through mission work and to uplift the race to a higher standard through educational efforts. and Mr. and Mrs. Geo W. Herron, Mr. H T. Jones, Mrs. Paul Boysaw formerly of Brazil Ind. were guest of Mrs. W. R. Smith, 2114 Oxford, St. Sunday, they reported a pleasant time. All hail to the Metropolis Gazette and its noble hearted editor, success to all who read it. Oh if we had more men like to stand up for truth and race pride, we would soon measure arms with any other race as citizens. COLPSVILLE. Dear Editor, I am at home again and ready to take up my work again. I had a pleasant 3 week's visit with my daughter in St. Louis, Mo., and brother in East St. Louis, and returned home Monday night; found the Six Knights and Daughters in harness for a fair and picnic and went into that I went and worked three days and we had a nice time and will tell you next week what we made. It was for the benefit of the order. The B. Y. P. U. work is very interesting to the female sex, more than the male. It is something like our church and Sunday School. It does not attract the young men's attention very much The presidents of these societies should make some kind of preparation to draw the attention of the young men to the house of worship. Such as setting programs and inviting them to come but before they arrive see that we have something suitable to attract their attention so that when they go away they will have the impression of coming again. The B. Y. P. U. can help in other ways not going along slow every Sunday with the bible study and having programs but to have socials appropriate for this occasion, and also rallies among ourselves to help out in buying of books concerning this society and bibles in order to keep up the lessons given for these meetings. And beyond all things have good music and let the young men take part in the choir. Every one in this circle should have something to do and not let their heart and hand be idle. The young ladies should attend meetings and be on time and try to influence the males to follow, and invite others. The sure way for them to succeed is to set about their work with a devoted spirit and never abandon the task once begun until it is successfully and triumphantly finished, and because it increases the influence and rapid and vivid growth of the Baptist Young People's Union of America. Leave it till its done Be the Jabor great or small Do it well or not at all. Lenora Newell NOTICE OF PUBLICATION Solicitor State of Illinois, Macnee County is In the Circuit Court April Term A.

To the Public and whom it may concern: 42 concern: The trustees of the above named school have purchased four acres of land just outside of the city limit, on the Jonesboro and Joppa road for $1,140.00. They removed their commodious two and one half S. building from the old site to its present beautiful site where it overlooks the majestic Ohio river with its exhilating breezes which adds to the longevity of the citizens of Metropolis. It is being put in splendid repair for the opening of said school in September or October. This school is under the control of the Mt. Olive Baptist Association and its auxillaries. The Woman's Educational and Mission Society has been one of the greatest factors in raising money for said school. The Negroes can point with pride to the good work and the present location, as it stands high and dry above high water with a spider cid drainage, with an outlet on three sides. The trustees have made wise use of the people's money entrusted to their care and they invite the closest inspection into every detail of their work.

Metropolis, Ill. --- Metropolis Gazette Highest on Pacific Coast Once, but Little Remains of it, at the Present Time. The highest mountain in Oregon is Mount Hood, 11,225 feet above sea level. Compared with Mount Whitney, to the south in California, and Mount Rainier, to the north in Washington, each rising well above 14,000 feet, Mount Hood does not appear as a skyscraper. However, according to the geologists of the United States geological survey and other authorities, Oregon had at one time, probably before the dawn of life upon the earth, a great volcano which towered as far above Mount Hood as does Mount Rainier, possibly even several thousand feet higher. This was the great Mount Mazama. But thousands of years ago this mountain disappeared into the bowels of the earth and all that is left today is the huge rim around Oster lake. Crater lake is the caldera of this extinct and collapsed volcano and is nearly six miles in diameter. The inside walls of the rim of the ancient mountain are in places nearly 4,000 feet high and almost perpendicular. The lake itself is in places 2,000 feet deep and parts of the wall rise above its waters another 2,000 feet. A restoration of the mountain in fancy, using as a basis the angles of the lower slopes, which still remain, shows that the apex could not have been far from 15,000 feet in height, so that Mount Mazama was one of the most lofty and majestic in the United States.

ESSON IN VIRTUE The shop girl may not have a comfortable home, where, in safety, she might meet and be properly introduced to a few available men. She may not move under the so-called "protections" of society. But she has a right to her love affair, and she can be chaste and discreet and strong, in spite of all her disadvantages. Many a carefully nurtured child, protected in her home, could learn much for her safety and happiness from the hundreds of store girls that light so magnificently for their good times, giving young men lessons in courtesy and decency, maintaining their good names under the most trying conditions at times.—W.

"Can you let me off this afternoon, sir? I want to see the ball game." "Sure, young man. Let's go together." Major General Sir Frederick Carrington, who died the other day, was in his earlier years one of the best boxers in the British army. His principal services to the empire were rendered in South Africa, and it is told that among the Bechuanaland police he was known as "Fighting Fred," because he had brought that famous force up to its high state of efficiency by thrashing every man in it. In this connection the story is also told that during the Zulu war Carrington having been placed in charge of an irregular regiment, noticed that one of the troopers, who probably imagined that he had only a "haw, haw" officer to deal with, deliberately failed to nautate him. "Why don't you salute me?" remanded the general. "Because I'm a better man than you are" was the insolent reply. "Indeed," said the general, "we'll soon see about that," and five minutes later the "better man" was carried senseless into his tent. And next morning the general had the offender up before him and gave him three days' C. B. for "fighting in camp," a sentence, however, which he promptly remitted.

The new friendship renovates us much because it is likely to bring the newest of our lives to the front—perhaps the newness that we have not otherwise dared to show—to bring us new ideas. Our sime, our loves, ourselves will alter whether or no. There are many forced renewings. We renew ourselves by delightful associations and by growing up with our children. But it is within the power of our will to renew ourselves almost daily in those "intangible and shy matters" of our inner life which make our outer lives uneest, sweetest, best. Exchange.

Viscount Haldane, the British lord chancellor, who is to visit Canada this summer, is not only a great legal luminary, profound theologian, and authority on German literature, but one of the most approachable of men as well. In this connection a German gentleman resident in London tells a delightful story. "My daughter," he says, "attends a school in Hampstead. Her mistress gave her an English translation of a sentence from Goethe as the title for an essay. 'That's not in Goethe,' I said, when she quoted the words to me. 'It must be father, or Miss "The girl took the jest for earnest, and sent a note to the lord chancellor. By return of post came a letter from the house of lords, in which Lord Haldane presented his compliments and referred the young lady to a passage in Carlyle, where the words from Goethe might be found translated as the mistress had set them. The letter is now framed in the girl's bedroom. It was a charming act," adds her father. "I could not imagine a german chancellor deigning to answer a schoolgirl's letter." AIRSHIP AS BATTLE FACTOR Still Very Much of an Unknown Quantity—Much Opposition to Aerial Fleets Has Developed. The successful operation of a machine gun mounted on the upper deck of a Zeppelin airship induces speculation as to the future of aircraft in warfare. It does not appear probable that the experiment at Friedrichshafen, Germany, have demonstrated the aerial battleships are practical. In fact, the imperfections in the construction and operation of airships are important limitations to their effective use in offensive and defensive warfare. However, the experiments revealed a portentious trend in the development of aviation. Whether the day when the fearful aerial battles of fiction will be possible is near or distant, Germany and other countries are trying to hasten that time. Possibility of the transfer of the carnage of battle to the air has aroused opposition to the equipment of aerial fleets. To some extent this opposition is organized. It found expression at the last peace congress at Geneva, Switzerland. The delegates from the various countries favored a convention of the powers to eliminate the use of air craft in actual offensive and defensive tactics. While the congress, of course, is opposed to war, yet the use of airships for scouting and reconnoitering service was not so abhorred.

The marshal Alexander Berthier, born at Versailles, was named sovereign prince of Neufchatel and Valengin, on March 30, and October 31, 1806, then prince of Wagram, October 31, 1809, and finally hereditary ducal peer on April 14, 1818. Alexander Berthier, duke and prince of Wagram, born at Paris in 1883, is yet a bachelor. He has two sisters, the princess de Tour d'Auvergne Lauraguais, and the Princess Jacques de Broglie. Marshal Macdonald, of Scotch origin, received the duchy of Tarentum with 80,000 francs income on December 9, 1809. Napoleon Macdonald, duke of Tarentum, married Madame Valentine Delegorgue, widow of a former prefect of police. They were divorced in 1905. They had no children, but the duke of Tarentum has two sisters. Marshal Charles Nicholas Cudlinot received the title of duke of Reggie April 14, 1810. The present duke, Henri, thirty years old, is the only male of the family. Marshal Andre Massena was made prince of Essling, January 31, 1810, and duke of Rivoli, April 24 of the same year. The present Andre Massena, prince of Essling, duke of Rivoli, is twenty-two years old. He has two sisters. Marshal Michael Ney was created duke of Elchingen in May, 1808, and prince of Moskowa March 25, 1812. The eldest of the family, Napoleon Ney, bears the title of prince of Moskowa, and his brother Charles that of the duke of Elchingen. Marshal Louis-Gabriel Suchet obtained the duchy of Albuera January 11, 1813. The third duke of Albuera, Raoul-Napoleon Suchet, husband of Mille, de Cambocere, has one son.

The figures for the war strength of the principal nations of the old world and of the United States of America are as follows: Germany, 4,000,000; France, 2,200,000; Russia, 5,000,000; Austria-Hungary, 2,100,000; Italy, 525,000; Great Britain, 800,000; Japan, 2,000,000; Spain, 500,000; Sweden, 336,000; Norway, 140,000; United States, 7,000,000. These figures will serve to answer the question as to what would be likely to happen in the event of war between this country and a foreign nation. In the first place such war would necessarily be of a naval character, if it took place at all, for no foreign nation would be foolish enough to attempt an invasion of the territory of the United States—that is, of the United States proper.

DRUMMER "D" He Proves Himself to Be a Real Hero. By GLEN H. WICHMAN. All day they had been marching through the mud—deep, black, dirty Peninsula mud at that. The regiment seemed barely to struggle forward as night approached. Struggling had been common throughout the day, and now the ranks were fast thinning, despite the efforts of the rear guard, who arrested those who gave up the fight and dropped behind. As a result, a strange situation had come about—the arrested soldiers outnumbered the guard, and the guard itself was ready to straggle. Yes, the limit of human endurance had been reached, and luckily the commander realized it. Turning to a drummer, he ordered that "Halt!" he sounded. The long roll of the drum brought cheer to many a heart. A few sharp orders, and in a remarkably short time the regiment was encamped in a field at the rear of a farmhouse. Fires were soon merrily burning, but there was nothing to cook. The supply train had not arrived—goodness knows when it would, for the roads were well-nigh impossible to troops on foot; heavily laden army wagons would certainly find it more difficult to negotiate. And so the twelve companies of men went to sleep with their stomachs empty. It was a blessing, perhaps, that they were tired. The drummer of Company D was young—too young by far for work like this. Campaigning with veterans, men who had seen battles, hardships and all the discomforts of war, was indeed a hard lot for a youngster. He, too, was hungry, very, very hungry, more hungry, in fact, than his older comrade. Sleep did not come to him so it came to them; so he lay in the little dog test and tossed in hic blankets. The house went slowly and more slowly by until he could stand it no longer. Very quietly Drumman "I" crawled out from under the tent on his hands and knees, and made of through the encampment in the direction of the farmhouse. Danger lurked on every side, for if he was discovered by the cannies a court-martial awaited him. Once up to the line of guards he waited until two of them met and walked away in opposite directions, then he noiselessly crossed the line and was lost in the semi-darkness. The majority of the officers were sleeping at the house. They had eaten supper there, too, while the common soldiers chirped by the fires. Drummer "B" knew this, and his little head puzzled hard over it as he drew nearer to the low, rambling structure. Not a sign of a light was about the place, so the little fellow went for what he thought was the pantry window and quickly raising it, crawled inside. No sooner had his feet touched the kitchen floor then he heard some one upstairs moving about. He was frightened, and stood as if frozen. The person was now coming swiftly down the stairs. Escape without discovery was out of the question. The footsteps were coming straight for the kitchen, and as they neared it the light from a candle showed the frightened boy the location of a barrel in the corner. Quickly crossing the room, he dropped behind it just as the matronly old lady with the candle entered. She moved swiftly about, coming at times dangerously near the barrel. Presently a voice pierced the silence, and the little drummer real- FURNISHING GOSSIP "Most popular couple in our flat. We'd all hate to see them move out." "Why are they so popular?"

PREVENTS RADIATOR FREEZING A carbon filament incandescent lamp, kept burning inside an automobile engine hood when it is stand- ized that his chance of escape was lessened. "This is the last chicken left, mother," the new arrival remarked. "Dear, dear! I know it, Mary," softly answered the mother. "Poor Dick! God knows whether he will live through this or not." "Do you suppose we can get the broth out to him in the morning?" Mary asked. "Nebuchadnezzar can amuggle it out. I suppose—but if that villainous-looking Yank of a colonel finds out that we're making chicken broth for a sick rebel he'll be likely to hang us all. Good old Nebuchadnezzar—he wouldn't desert the place for all the Yankees and emancipation proclamations in kingdom come," answered the mother. The little fellow behind the barrel wondered if they would not give him just a bit of that broth; but the voice of the girl dispelled the thought. "Such a measly little chicken I never did see! Why, it's not enough to make a good breakfast for a healthy cat! Dear Dick! it's the last meal he may ever get—or any of us, for that matter. Why, we're eaten out of house and home! Poor old fellow, out there in the cold barn on a pile of hay, with a faithful old black man to guard him—and to think that we can't go out to see him!" They had stirred up the fire in the stove, and soon the fowl was boiling merrily. Both women busied themselves about the kitchen, and often came near to the hiding place of the half-starved little wretch behind the barrel. When the broth was done, and after putting it high up the shell in the pantry, they took the candle and softly went upstairs. Drummer "D" crouched in his corner long after they had gone. He was thinking—thinking a great deal for a boy. He thought of the rebel out in the barn, his enemy and the enemy of his country. Perhaps a day or two more and the man would breathe his last. Then he thought of the broth on the high shelf, and as he did so quickly got upon his feet and made his way to the pantry. Feeling about, he found a chair, and in a second his hands were upon the precious bowl. Lifting it down, he held the rim to his lips—hesitated—the picture of the sick rebel in the cold barn on a pile of hay stayed him. The words of the mother rang through his brain—"Poor Dick! God knows whether he will live through this or not." The drummer of Company D trembled violently as he climbed out of the window and softly and quickly made his way back to the little dog tent. Seemingly for house he lay there awake, but finally he slept and during his slumber dreamed that the supply train arrived an hour before sunrise.—Glenn H. Wichman, in the Los Angeles Times. WELL PIXED "The darky is generally reputed in the south to be unthrifty and without any sense of responsibility," says an Atlanta man, "but a case that came within my observation not long ago showed at least one of the race possessed of an eye to the future. "A negro named Cal Brown, who lay ill, was advised by his wife one morning that she must leave him for a while to go to town to purchase a new dress. "Maria," moaned the sick man, 'de idea of yo' thinkin' 'bout a new dress while I is so sick!' "Doan' yo' worry 'bout dat, Cal,' said this spouse consolingly.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Bergfield, a German scientist, advances a new theory for the variety of human color or pigmentation. We quote him from Harper's Weekly: "Bergfield, the German investigator, holds the view that the pigmentation of the races is due to feeding. He points out that in the animal world color is often determined by food, and he contends that by chemical process the same results are shown in the different human faces. According to this theory, the original man was black, since his chief diet must have been vegetarian. Fruit and vegetables contain manganates that ally themselves with iron, constituting a dark brown combination. Bergfield states that negroes who add meat and milk to their vegetable fare are never as dark as those Negroes who eat only vegetables. Indians are red, it appears, because they have absorbed for generations haemoglobin, the red substance in the blood of animals killed for food. Mongols are yellow by reason of the fact that they are descended from dark fruit eating racs who penetrated into the plains of Asia, became shepherds and lived to a great extent on milk, which contains chlorine and bleaching effect. Caucasians were another branch who became still whiter by adding salt to their dietary. Common salt is a strong chloride and a powerful agent in bleaching the skin. The effect can be seen, it is declared, in case of children who have been reared on a "white" dietary. They are never so black as their kindred who have not abandoned vegetarianism." Professor Bergfield's theory is a good deal more reasonable than that of some who have given out their vicious opinion that the Negro's color is the curse of God placed upon Calm, the ancestor of Ham, for the killing of his brother Abel. Bergfield says it is not the curse of God, but the result of what we have been eating. Africans are largely vegetarian in the food they live upon. Professor Bergfield says this produced our racial color. We picked this up from somewhere. Read it: "An old colored man with an old gray mule hitched to a ram-shackle wagon stood on the incline of Capitol Hill in Washington, D. C., during one of the worst sleet storms in January. The old man huddled in his rabbit skin cap shivering. The mule was trembling with the cold. A man waiting for a belated street car was attracted by the strange outfit and wondered, as time went on and the colored man made no effort to depart, what allied the old fellow. Finally he walked over and said: 'Why don't you move on, uncle?' The old darky pointed a trembling finger at his team and replied: "Cause dis yere mule won't go 'less I whistle at him, an' it's so cold I eyarn't whistle.'" Now if whistling is what our situation is in so many places, in so many things, really needs, let's pucker up and have some lively. Negro whistling all along our lines. If that's not the thing needed, let's find out what is the need and keep on trying till our balky team does start off and keep going. No one can rise higher than their mind and thoughts lead them; therefore, young men and women, boy and girl should keep their minds elevated to high things and labor to rise high in the world and in usefulness.—The Baptist Voice. The latest census from Boley, Okla., one of several Negro towns of that state, gives a population of 4,000; a bank with a capital and surplus of $11,500 and deposits of $75,804.44; twenty-five grocery stores, five hotels, seven restaurants, water works worth $35,000, electric plant worth $20,000, four drug stores, four cotton gins ranging from $8,000 to $15,000 in value, one bottling works, one steam laundry, two newspapers, two ice cream parlors, two hardware stores, a $40,000 Masonic temple, two colleges, one high school, one graded school, two city school buildings, one telephone exchange costing $3,000; $42 school children, ten teachers, six churches, two livery stables, two insurance agencies, one second hand store, two undertaking establishments, one lumber yard, two photographers, one bakery, and one of the best city parks in the state. Praise will make some folks "run a good thing in the ground." Letting well enough alone is a hard thing for most people to do. "Swell head" is easily contracted in two ways. See? —The Arkansas Review. As to the right sort of teachers in our public schools, there is much which belongs to the field of discussion among the Negro masses. There was a time when a Negro teacher in any sort of school was not confined to his or her school room; but did much of what is now being called "extension work." At any and at every point of the community life, where there was likelihood of doing good in the way of giving enlightenment and progressiveness to the people, old and young, school-going and non-school-going, there the teacher was to be found. We found it so when, in our youth, we taught in our native Georgia and found it so when later we taught in Mississippi and still later (and that has not been so long ago), when we were officially connected with educational work in Louisiana;—the teacher was an all-round helper and worker. They did not feel that they had come fully up to the functions of a good teacher if they confined themselves simply to their class room work. Whence this withdrawing and with-holding from the participation of uplifting, which teachers, of other days were wont to read into their certificates? Suppose our pedagogical friends do the first thinking over this question. Later let the communities take it up and reset matters again after that good old rule. Citizens must be as big as their age. It is no time for small and ignorant men with blind prejudices. In no age could a demagogue do so much damage with excitable and unthinking men as now, for in no other generation have there been such mighty interests to ruin. One can smash vast values in a short time. With the tremendous increase of our country in everything that contributes to civilization of the world, with our commerce and trade seeking all nations, with our institutions and asylums of all people, with values untold in meadows and mines and ten thousand useful arts, and with millions coming into every decade of our population, with problems that appeal to the supreme wisdom of the strongest minds re-enforced by the loftiest thinking of all ages, the obligation laid upon the plain, every-day citizen is tremendous, and it is no time for the ranting Socialist, without sense of proportion or appreciation of the new forces of this mighty era. He must make way for vast movements and not center his thought upon petty measures.—Chancellor James R. Day, in Leslie's. We cannot escape the cheerful conviction that there may be in the suffragette movement much that will help our contention for a fuller grant of freedom to the race under the constitution. Why not our Negro women join the army now warring for female suffrage. Read this news item taken from a Chicago paper: "Because the manager of the La Salle hotel refused to permit a Negro woman to be served in the dining-room of the hotel, 300 white Chicago club women gathered, arose in a body and left, declaring if the manager did not serve the Negress he could not serve them." If China continues to carry out her present policy of prohibition, and the United States continues her policy of license, it will not be a hundred years until China will be sending missionaries to the United States, just as we today are sending them to China.—Clean Politics.

In Georgia the business element of Negroes are proving up some important things.

Based on figures obtained from cases of tuberculosis reported in Cleveland, New York and other cities where thorough registration of consumptives is employed, it is estimated that for every death from consumption in the United States, of which there are on an average 200,000 annually, there are constantly more than five living cases, making at least 1,000,000 in all. Of these million living cases, it is estimated that the health authorities have records of not more than 100,000 to 150,000, or one in every eight or ten, and that, for the great majority of cases recorded, no hospital, home or dispensary care is provided. Practically nothing can be done to control the spread of tuberculosis in the transported cases. Settled His Doubts. Philo Case is one of those old fashioned men who know every one who lives or ever has lived in the village not far from Bridgeport, Conn., where he has driven the town back for more than half a century. A former resident went there to call on some old friends. Philo, who had known her as girl and matron, and until she moved from the village some years ago, greeted her effusively as he helped her into his rickety old "carry all." "And how is Mr. Jones?" he asked beamingly. "Why, Philo! I'm certainly surprised. Didn't you know that Mr. Jones died nearly two years ago?" "Well, well. Y-e-s-a. I did hear that one of you was dead, but I didn't know for certain which one of you it was." CLEARED AWAY Our own troubles always seem more severe than any others. But when a man is unable to eat even a light breakfast, for years, without severe distress, he has trouble enough. It is small wonder he likes to tell of food which cleared away the troubles. "I am glad of the opportunity to tell of the good Grape-Nuts has done for me," writes a N. H. man. "For many years I was unable to eat even a light breakfast without great suffering. "After eating I would suddenly be seized with an attack of colic and vomiting. This would be followed by headache and misery that would sometimes last a week or more, leaving me so weak I could hardly sit up or walk. "Since I began to eat Grape-Nuts I have been free from the old troubles. I usually eat Grape-Nuts one or more times a day, taking it at the beginning of the meal.
