We are believed to believe that Ananias left no descendants, but there were people so like him as to bear the name of Anania, or again Ananian. Their descendants have to bear the brunt of ancestral duplicity. So, Mr. Anacreonte may perhaps trace his descent back to the sweet Greek singer of women and wine.

Our Lord Jesus on sending out His disciples said them shou'd witness in Jerusalem, and as we all live out here, it become our God-given duty to turn our attention to these people right among us, who are not having the Gospel preached to them because many of them live in small towns where they have no churches and then too, they are not strong or large enough in number to support a minister to remain with them as a pastor. Some of them were Christians and were members of the church before they came west, and they must be oe helped, and others of them were never christians, hence, we are called upon to edify some and to save others, all of which is the work to be done by each pastor and memper first in Jerusalem, His home city and then in all Judea, which ought to be regarded as the state in which we live live because no man is prepared to do much elsewhere who is not doing his duty at home. This is also true of a church. We would come together in this Western Distirect and catch inspiration one from another in another in order that we might do a more telling work at home. There are thousands in many of our cities and home states that we have not been moved to help because of our lack of knowledge concerning them, which knowledge can only be gotten by our contact with each other, where we also get such inspiration as our Western Baptist Convention can and will give to all who will attend its sessions. Brethren and churches, you owe this to yourselves to come together in this great gathering once a year, and in Samaria, which is the United States, if you please, through our great Nat'l. Baptist Convention we should and ought to see to it yearly that the Gospel be given to every creature in America. But our people, many of them, who are coming into our western teriitory are being destroyed for lack of knowledge. Awake! Awake! Oh Western Baptists! and put on thy strength for the work is great, and we are separated in these states one from another. I am sounding the trumpet of alarm and urge therefrom that you Baptists of each state come togather at Muskogee, Okla. in July, 1914, for a better understanding and to devise plans to further the kingdom of our Redeemer throughout this country, and unto the utermost parts of the earth, through the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention. We ask also that each and every member of the Executive Board of the Western Baptist Convention and messengers of the included states meet us in Nashville, Tennessee, Thursday, Sept. 18, for a conference. I am yours for the salvation of the entire West E. J. Fisher. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS With the inauguration of a new course on public service corporations, the first of its kind to be introduced into the south, the Atlanta Law school began its fall session. Interest at the opening of the year centers, however, in the newly arranged course on public service corporations, which will be under the direction of Young B. Smith, a practicing member of the Atlanta bar, who made a special study of this branch of law at Columbia university. It will be made a part of the regular junior class schedule, being placed in the course in addition to the regular subjects which have been included during past years. This course will include a special study of such big corporations as gas and electric companies, railroads, street railways, water power development companies and other corporations which affect the people in the mass. The law governing these corporations and the twentieth century tendencies in restricting their operations, will be given special attention. All of last year's courses will be retained under the same tutelage, with the one change announced that W. O. Wilson, who formerly occupied the chair of real property, will now have charge of the school of practice, while Charles B. Reynolds will be changed to the course on real property. Hooper Alexander, the newly appointed United States district attorney, will head the course on constitutional law and corporations; E. Marvin Underwood will teach the evidence and equity jurisprudence course; Charles L. Pettigrew will teach equity pleading and criminal law; George Westmoreland will make a specialty of torts and damages, and Edward P. Burns will head the department of mathematics and annuities and insurance. In addition to the above heads of departments the faculty includes Harrison Jones, P. C. McDuffie, Alex. W. Smith, Jr., E. E. Cheatham, Robert S. Parker, Hamilton Douglas, Jr., and Mrs. William Claer Spiker. In addition to the set courses, a special series of lectures have been arranged from such eminent members of the Georgia bar as Judge Beverly D. Evans, Judge J. H. Lumpkin, Judge Marcus W. Beck, Judge Benjamin H. Hell, Judge Richard B. Russell, Judge William T. Newman, Robert C. Alston, Judge John S. Candler, Judge George Hillyer, James H. Glibert, Dr. William Perrin Nicholson, Judge W. D. Ellis, Sanders McDaniel, Solicitor Hugh M. Dorsey, James H. Porter, William W. Galnes and Samuel N. Evins. Only twenty out of the eighty students at the law school last year were Atlanta boys, the others coming mainly from Georgia, but many of them from other states. A large per cent. of the students find employment in Atlanta law offices or other institutions, and work all day, up till four o'clock, when the law school begins. In this way the majority of them work their own way through an education—"tolling upward in the night" toward the goal of their ambitions.—Atlanta Constitution. In Minnesota the need for trained teachers of agriculture and domestic science is so great that the School of Agricultural Technology at the State University has taken for its main work the preparation of teachers for these subjects. It is stated that documents and newspapers may be preserved indefinitely in a vacuum. W. E. Aytoun, author of "Lays of Scottish Cavaller," had a peculiar experience in winning his wife. He declared his love to the daughter of Professor Wilson (Christopher North) and she returned it. But Aytoun could not face the famous litterateur to ask his consent, so the girl herself undertook the ordeal of "asking papa." Professor Wilson listened to her statement, and, writing on a slip of paper, Christopher North pinned it on the back of his daughter's dress, saying: "I must break it gently to him." She returned to her lover. "Papa's answer is on the back of my dress," and the lover read: "With the author's compliments." According to German railway receipts a business reaction has set in in that country. There are 20,000 kinds of butterflies in the world. The custom of throwing rice at weddings originated in China. Sixty men emigrate from England for every 40 women. Compulsory insurance against sickness, accidents, disablement and old age has been introduced in Rumania. Vienna now has a population of 2,620,850. Philadelphia schools house 220,000 pupils this term. Day laborers in Bombay, India, average about 20 cents a day. Opportunities for bright young negro boys and girls to rise on their merits are seriously limited in Chicago. The injustice of this situation is dwelt upon by Mrs. Louise DeKoven Bowen, president of the Juvenile Protective association, in the current issue of the Survey. Her conclusions are drawn largely from her own experience and from experiences of investigators of the association of which she is president. The coldness of many employers toward young negroes helps to explain why so few of the latter strive for the education and training which fit them for remunerative work. Mrs. Bowen relates that there are many cases on the records of her association which show the tendency of employers to use negroes only for mental positions. Many educated young negroes fail to find employment as stenographers, bookkeepers or clerks. A colored boy who had been graduated from a technical high school was refused work in the presence of his classmates by a large concern because negroes "are not wanted here." A large commercial house refused to employ another colored youth, a graduate of a business college, under similar conditions. Much the same state of things, Mrs. Bowen says, is encountered by colored girls. Domestic or personal service, she finds, is virtually all that is open to them, whether they have been educated or not. If young colored people become disheartened and discouraged under such circumstances, it is not surprising. The interests of the whole community require that merit shall have due recognition in the broad field of employment regardless of race and color. Injustice commonly breeds revolt against existing conditions and thus are bred delinquency and crime. Prominent Baptist ministers, mission workers and those recognized as active workers in the denominational circle to this part of the state attended the meeting of the National Baptist association, which held a five days' session at Nashville, Tenn. The meetings, which are held annually, bring together scores of colored Baptists from every part of the world, including missionaries who are working in many foreign fields and natives who have been Christianized and are working among their own people. The Rev. E. C. Morris of Helena, Ark., is the national president. The Woman's Auxiliary is a distinct department of the organization, and has as its president Mrs. Julia Layton of Philadelphia, Miss Nannle Burroughs of Washington, corresponding secretary, has earned a national reputation, and is the promoter of an industrial training school for colored women and girls. The school, which has been paid for by the colored Baptist women of the country, is at Lincoln Heights, a suburb of Washington, and during the three years it has been in operation already has proved its usefulness to the race. Among the pastors who went from Indianapolis to Nashville are B. J. Prince, G. W. Ward, J. F. Broyles, Charles Lewis, B. F. Farrell, G. A. Martin and Charles Johnson. Large delegations from Anderson, Crawfordville, Franklin, Shelbyville and other points joined with the Indianapolis party. A large number of Indianapolis women went with the party from this city. The celebration of "Fifty Years of Freedom" took place at a large city part at Nashville.—Indianapolis News. One hundred years ago this month occurred the first serious race riot between negroes and whites that is recorded in the history of the United States. Curiously enough, the scene of the disturbance was Philadelphia, the "City of Brotherly Love." The proportion of negroes to the entire population in Philadelphia at that time was probably larger than any other city. For some time there had been various happenings to engender ill feeling between the races. The situation reached a climax on November 8, 1813, when a negro fired upon and wounded a white man. In the excitement and disorder that followed many negroes were injured and one of their meeting houses, at the corner of Brown and Fourth street, was nearly torn down by the mob. Oregon has 545,000,000,000 feet of standing timber, valued at $680,000,000. More than 50,000 potters are employed in Saffordshire, England. Furnace refuse from ocean steamers is now discharged from an opening below the water line. During the recent salmon run in British Columbian waters salmon were sold at retail in Vancouver shops for 15 cents apiece, the fish averaging five pounds, dressed. By the end of 1916 the Chinese army expects to have 1,000 aeroplanes, this year's budget calling for the purchase of 250. The new Chinese department of agriculture and forestry is largely manned by Chinese graduates of the colleges of this country. METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS. ILL SATISFIED WITH HIS BARGAIN Dramatic Press Agent Had Confidence in Barber for Somewhat Peculiar Reason. Frank P. Morse, draimatic press agent, met Ralph A. Graves, the dramatic critic, in New York one morning. They went down to a barber shop. Graves heard Morse talking to the barber, whose voice indicated that he was at least eight feet tall and in the best of health. "Now," said the barber, "your hair's falling out. What you want to do is to have it shingled and singed and then treated with crude oil, ending up with an electric massage and a few other joils." Morse, who has a suit of hair like a cluster of copper wire, inquired as to the cost. "One dollar and ninety cents," replied the barber. "Proceed," said Morse, settling back. When Graves got out of the chair and took a look at Morse's barber he rushed over to the victim's chair. "Why, Frank," he expostulated, "that man who's treating your hair is as bald as an egg and you're throwing away a dollar and ninety cents." "Is he bald?" asked Morse dreamily. "Not a hair on his head," replied Graves. "Well," explained the victim, gently, "that's why he knows how not to make my hair fall out."-Popular Magazine. Too Successful.

SPLENDID MODEL FOR WINTER COAT Practical and Charming Costume Described by a Paris Correspondent. HAS SOME SPECIAL FEATURES Exquisite Harmony In Color the Keynote—Red Yarn Models Have Proven Success PARIS.—I noticed recently one of the most practical and charming winter coats I have ever seen. The material of the original model was duvetyn in a splendid shade of cherry-red, and the design was one of the new styles which show the curious long waist and straight side scams, writes Idalia de Villiers in the Boston Globe. The coat was belted in at the waist, or rather far below it, by a ceinture of duvetyn, carefully machine stitched. This ceinture was held in place at the sides by straps attached to the coat and the buttons were very large and in cut jet. The lining of this coat was a special feature. It was composed of Chinese blue satin, brocaded with a silver-gray design of scroils and leaves. The harmony of color was exquisite and the coat was to be worn over a smart skirt, arranged in a double tunic, of heavy black satin. This new material, "duvetyn," is delightfully soft and supple. It is so very like the popular material known as velours de laine that it is often mistaken for it, but duvetyn is softer than velours de laine. It is also far warmer and more supple. It is made in all the newest shades; in emerald green and Chinese blue it makes superb coats and wraps, and in pure white it gives fairy-like effects when combined with white fox or with ermine. Many of the newest Redfern models are made of velours de laine in strong shades of red, blue and purple. These suits are lavishly trimmed with braidings and with bands of fox, astrachan or sable. Redfern is making a good many long-waisted coats, but he depends now, as always, more upon his perfect cut and finish than upon sensationally novel outlines. Handsome Tailored Suits. I have seen some delightful tailored auits in a heavy make of satin in Redfern's showrooms. One of these in a pale shade of beige whipcord, was trimmed with Siberian fox of a most curious tint. It was neither beige nor yellow, but something between the two, and it blended beautifully with the tone of the whipcord. This Siberian fox is very fashionable in Paris this season. In quality the fur is rarely beautiful, quite as soft and silky as the famous blue and silver foxskins. The Parisiennes have taken a special fancy to the curious yellow-beige color of the fur, and it is likely to become a rage in circles where expense has not to be considered. For Siberian fox in a good quality is almost as expensive as the fine white skins. I spent some time in Rouff's showrooms one afternoon. And I was shown several beautiful winter walking costumes which I will describe. One of these was composed of black satin, black bretschwanz and sable. The coatee, which was quite short and rounded in the fronts, was made of a lovely quality of bretschwanz, supple and silky as mirror velvet. Then the draped skirt, which was slightly shorter in front than at the back, was made of a heavy black satin, while the tunic, composed of black crepe de chine, was bordered with sable. Really Smart Waistcoat. There was a very smart little waistcoat of tango-red suede embroidered in dull silver and a small collar of sable at the back of the coat. Large dull silver buttons, richly chased, finished off an ideal winter visiting costume. A second suit, of the same order, was made of pale twine-color velvet embroidered in black silk and trimmed with narrow bands of black fox. The coat belonged to this dress was three-quarter length and banded in just below the normal waist line by a splendid Russian belt made of black leather and inset with facets of silver and with deep blue turquoises. This coat opened over a blouse of twine-colored Venetian gulpure, and this blouse opened, in turn, over a dainty chemisette made of ivory white tulle. This costume was to be accompanied by a flat-brimmed hat in black silk beaver which had at one side two pointed wings, one in a brilliant shade of emerald green and the other pure white. In the same showrooms I saw several fascinating little visiting dresses destined to be worn under the large wrap-mantles which are now so popular. One of these gowns was made of brocaded moire in a dull shade of Chinese blue. Pronounced Flouances. There was an underdress of black tuile covered with black Chantilly jace flouces and the more part, of the skirt was arranged in a sort of draped apron in front, while at the back the flouces ran right up to the waist. There was a short more coatee, with a full shaped basque, and this coatee was bordered with black fox at the neck and on the sleeves. The coatee opened over a waistcoat of rust-red satin abmoldere, in Japanese style and at the throat there was a fascinating little collar of old lace through which a black satin tie was passed. This is an excellent example of the style of dress which the Parisiennes wear in the afternoon this winter. The newest wrap coats are so large and warm that it would be quite possible to venture out in an evening costume on the coldest day. On entering a fashionable restaurant the fur or velvet wraps are thrown back over the chair and the dainty gown underneath is revealed. It is a charming fashion and it becomes more and more popular, for women of all nationalities have discovered that it is almost universally becoming and not at all unduly extravagant. The prettiest and daintiest effects may be obtained from little afternoon gowns of crepe de chine or supple satin, and the mantles may be made of liberty cloth or heavy satin, lined with shot silk and interlined with flannel. Season of Decoration. It is a wonderfully decorative season, and all women who like to look dainty and attractive ought to avail themselves of an excellent opportunity of looking attractive at moderate cost. Parisian girls wear caps of this kind with infinite grace. They place them well down on the forehead, but a few stray curls are allowed to peep out under the soft velvet frills. For walking or skating on cold winter days these caps are ideal wear. They are as warm and comfortable as they are becoming. The illustration shows a genuine winter novelty. It is almost an exact copy of the bonnets worn by "Little Nell," who has been made famous by the genius of Dickens. This delicious little bonnet is made of glace velvet, which shows delicate tints of pale pink and deep rose-Dubarry. In "Glace" Velvet. "Glace" velvet gives the same shimmering effects as shot silk. It is made in all the newest colors and it is one of the favorite materials of the hour chez our great Parisian milliners. The quaint little bonnet has a full crown and it is bordered with skunk, while the strings are in a deep shade of rose-Dubarry satin. Only a young and pretty-girl could wear such a bonnet as this, but on her head it would make a veritable sensation. Many of the best Parisian milliners are making a specialty of these pio- A A Winter Novelty. The "Little Nell" Bonnet in Glace Violets Shaded From Pale Pink to Rose du Barry and Edged With Skunk. A Winter Novelty. The "Little Nell" Bonnet in Glace Velours Shaded From Pale Pink to Rose du Barry and Edged With Skunk. turesque bonnets this winter, but all the best models are intended for quite young girls. This is easily understood, since such a bonnet as that depicted in my sketch would certainly make a middle-aged woman look like her own grand- mother. All the strong shades of pink, as well as most of the pastel tints, are in favor with the Parisian milliners. The bonnets and hats of the immediate moment are so lavishly trimmed with bands of fur and with elaborate mounts that pale tinted velvets give the best effects. I have seen ideal toques made of pure white mirror velvet and bordered with skunk or sable. New Skirt Lengths. The majority of skirts will be said, in fact, very short. Costumes for dressy occasions will have skirts as short as those for tailored suits, and such a thing as a street dress with a skirt that touches the ground will be ridiculous. All skirts will be narrow, or at least narrow in effect, and most of them will have the uplifted drapery at the front. Draperies will follow the outlines of the body and skirts, and whether pleated or plain will keep to close lines. There will be many flounced skirts, but even these will be mounted on snug foundations. Trains, when used, will be very slender, some of them even scarf-like. New Shields. The newest things in arm shields can be clasped in at the seams of the sleeves in less time than it takes to tell about it. The shields are so shaped that, while affording adequate protection from damnness, there is no danger of their showing behind or in front of the armpit, and their four tiny clasps securely. At them to the sleeve eye, sleeve and underarm bodice seams. Children's Coats Woolen ratine and velvet are combined in children's coats in different ways. One coat, of rich brown-velvet shows a belt and collars and cuffs, collar, buttons and belt of black velvet. CANADA WINS AGAIN This Time at the International Soil Products in Oklahoma. Last year and the year before, and the year before that, the farm products of Western Canada carried off first premiums, championships and honours, together with medals and diplomas, feats that were likely to give a swelled head to any other people than those who had so much more behind. At Columbus, Ohio, and then again at Columbia, North Carolina, a farmer of Saskatchewan carried off the highest prize for oats, and in another year, will become the possessor of the $1,500 Colorado Trophy; another farmer made two successful exhibits of wheat at the biggest shows in the United States; another farmer of Manitoba won championships and sweepstake at the live stock show in Chicago, and this year expects to duplicate his successes of last year. These winnings are the more creditable as none of the cattle were ever fed any corn, but raised and fattened on nature grasses and small grains. At the Dry Farming Congress held at Lethbridge in 1912, Alberta and Saskatchewan, farmers carried off the principal prizes competing with the world. The most recent winners of Canada have been made at Tulsa, Oklahoma, where seven of the eighteen sweepstakes rewards at the International Soil Products Exposition were taken by Canada in competition with eleven states. The chief prize, a thrashing machine, valued at $1,200 for the best bushel of hard wheat, went to Peter Gerlack of Allan, Saskatchewan. Montana took four of the sweepstakes, Oklahoma four, and Nebraska two. Russia sent one delegate, Spain had two, Belgium three, China four, Canada fifty, Mexico five, Norway one, Brazil three. In the district in which the wheat was grown that won this prize, there were thousands of acres this year that would have done as well. Mr. Gerick is to be congratulated as well as the Province of Saskatchewan, and Western Canada as a whole, for the great success that has been achieved in both grain and cattle.—Advertisement. Didn't Impress Farmer. An altercation arose between a farmer and a so-called expert in agriculture. "Sir," said the expert, "do you realize that I have been at two universities, one in this country and one in Germany?" "What of that?" demanded the farmer, with a faint smile. "I had a was dying, and his wife sent for a nearby preacher to pray with him. The preacher spent some time praying and talking, and finally the old man said: "What do you want me to do, parson?" "Renounce the devil! Renounce the devil!" replied the preacher. "Well, but, parson," protested the dying man. "I ain't in position to make any enemies."

FOR COUCHS AND COLDS TRUTH FROM YOUTHFUL LIPS Not Exactly the Answer Spinster Expected, But It Came From the Heart. A middle-aged spinster who lived in the suburbs had a fine orchard. She likewise had a heap of troubles with a lot of youngsters, who looked on the orchard as something placed there for their especial benefit. Finally the spinster decided that she could do more with kindness than with a tense rail, so she prepared a feast of apples and other daltances and invited every small boy in the burg to join the jubilee. "Now, tell me, boys," said the hostess at the conclusion of the feast, "would the apples you have just eaten tasted so good had you stolen them?" "No, ma'am," answered little Willie Smith, with surprising frankness. "I am certainly glad to hear you say that, little man," responded the spinster, with a glow of pleasure. "Why wouldn't they have tasted so good?" "Because," came the equally frank reply of Willie, "we wouldn't have had no ice cream and cake with them." Poor Charities. There are charity societies, as all the world knows, that only give to the poor a quarter or a half cent of every dollar they take in, most of their subscriptions going for salaries to officers and investigators for expensive rentals, etc. Richard March, the charity expert of Denver, Colo., was condemning these charities. He said: "A man's wife shouted up to him the other day: "Don't you think this blue overcoat with the strapped in back is too new and fashionable, George, to give away? "It's the agent of the Alpha Incorporated Charities that's at the door, isn't it? "Yes, dear. "Then let the coat go," said George. "It'll be old enough and old-fashioned enough before it gets to the poor dub that is shippering for it now." "If that girl ever gets into danger in a lonely place she can signal for help with her collar." "How could she do anything like that?" "I noticed it is wireless." Hint to Husbande.

Post Toasties True Story of the Flood That Has Infinite Pathos—His Little Girl Had Not Been Among Those Saved. "Good morning, uncle! Sit on that chair. What can we do for you today?" An old negro, who had waited for some time, stood before the desk. He took the seat and entered quickly upon the business of his visit. "I wants ter know if you'se seen my little gal. She's lost, and I'se been hunnt' fur her fur nigh to a week an' I can't fin' 'er. Do people all say dis' is de place to cum to fur to fur' ebery 'ing, an' so I cum. She's a bright little gal, eight years ole comin' June. Has you seen 'er, Boss?" And he looked into my face as if life itself depended upon the answer. "Uncle, I've seen so many people since this flood came that I am not sure whether I saw your little girl or not. Did you say it is your little girl?" "Yas, sir, Boss! No—I's dla way, Boss. My daughter had dis chil', and she died when de chil' was a little bit a thing, an' de tuck it an' cared fur it an' raise it, an' t's my gran' chil'. Does you tink my chil' jn dis city, Boss?" "It might be here, Uncle. Tell me how you came to be separated from the child." "I's dis way, sah. We had dun waited on de levee all day fur de boat, an' w'en de boat cum we put de wimens an' de chillens on de boat an' de men dey he'p to load de stock. An' wille we was a-loadin' de stock on de barge de steamboat it went off, an' I hain't seen de chil' sence dat timg till now. Ise been to Wilhelm an' to Port Hudson, an' now Ise here a-lookin' fur my chil'. Some people say dey seed de chil', but dey dun know whar she at now. I just knows dar's some'ting bad happened dat chil'. Every night since her ma difed dat chil' has gone to sleep in de bery arms, Boss; an' I knows if she's livin' she is cryin' fur me now. Does you tink she's in dis town' "She might be here. I am not sure of that. We can find out, however. I will give you a note to the captains of our camps, and they will permit you to talk to the people in the camps. In that way you can find whether your little girl is in camp. I will ask the colored citizens' committee to search among the refugees who are being sent to in private families. It may be that your child is with some of our colored families. Give me your name."ay."What's the girl's name?"Clay.""Here is the note. Visit the camps, and let me know the result of your search." The old man went away. I recalled the death of an orphan child a few days before, and concluded, after some inquiry, that this was the child the old man was looking for. The child had come in on a rainy night among many other people, and wasn't noticed until she was a very sick patient. The shock, the grief of loneliness in the midst of many strangers, the far-off call to leave this troubled world—she turned upon her hard bed and feebly cried for her grandfather. Then silence fell upon the child. The woman who waited on her thought she slept. She slept, but not to wake again a charge of ours. We buried her in the potter's field. The old man found the little mound of earth, and, sitting by it, gave expressions to his grief. As long as he lives that little mound of earth will loom large in the life of old Uncle Josh. The object of eight years' devotion lies beneath it; life's current seems to have lost itself in it. Those little mounis of earth—R. L. Himes in Red Cross Magazine. Around the World on Foot. Interest has lately been aroused in England by the arrival there of a young Australian, Leslie Wilson, who has started out to walk around the world. Already he has gone some ten thousand miles. He is planning to take a year to the trip, as he will not be able to walk except on the land, and will have to take a steamer part of the way. He is walking, he says, for health and strength, and not for any wager or notoriously or any selfish end. He commenced without money and has to earn his living and passage expenses. This he does by lecturing. He eats only two meals a day, and claims that he is much more able to walk long distances when he goes without luncheon. High Finance. An amusing story comes from Paris in connection with M. Jules Claret, the famous manager of the national theater, the Comedie Francaise. One of the "supers" failed to appear at a performance of "Phedre" the other evening. He had only to walk on with the crowd, but M. Claret keeps an eye on all these details, and the next morning the "super" received a letter signed by M. Claret saying that he would be fined one shilling eight pence for having been absent from his place without leave. The resourceful "super" promptly went to an autograph collector and sold M. Claret's letter for half a crown, thus making a profit out of his own negligence. METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL. You Look Prematurely Old Streator, Ill.—"I shall always praise Lydia E.

CREDIT GIVEN TO THE WIFE Good and Sufficient Reasons Why Married Man Lives Longer Than the Bachelor. It is a good thing for a man to have a wife to look after his ingoings and outcomings—to enforce regularity in his mode of living—to see that he is clothed according to the requirements of the temperature, and takes his umbrella when there is likelihood of showers, and gets good meals at stated hours. Jacques Bertillon, the French expert on occupational mortality, has found that low death rates occur particularly in occupations in which the workman is under more or less supervision as regards not only health but also habits of life, and in which he is surrounded by influences tending to prevent dissipation, and conducive to regular hours and regular habits. Bank clerks and fiduciary employees who feel their responsibilities are types of this. Bertillon attributes much the same influence to marriage and family life. The married man is supervised for his own good, and, having added incentives to self-restraint and to the care of his health, he has a lower mortality than the bachelor—Journal of the American Medical Association He stopped before a blind peddler and bought a pencil, putting five pennies into the man's hand.

It would appear from bits of the social gossip of her day that Miss Burdett-Coutts' nearest approach to an occupation was refusing offers of marriage. It is stated that the name of the "Prince of Adventurers" was connected with hers; that she refused the duke of Wellington and a score of lesser gentlemen. For years the great heiress was the most glittering matrimonial prize in England, and when at last she consented to change her condition by marrying an American, a London club witt struck a responsive chord by observing, "I don't blame Ashmead Bartlett for proposing to the baroness.

ERUPTION SPREAD ON FACE 810 East Elm St., Streator, Ill.—“A running sore broke out above my right eye, which spread over my entire face. It started as a small pimple. I scratched it open and the contents of this small pimple ran down my face. Wherever this ran a new sore appeared. They itched and burned terribly; I couldn't touch my face it burned so. It disfigured my face terribly and I couldn't be seen for everyone was afraid of it. It looked like a disease of some kind; it was all red and a heavy white crust on it. Everybody kept out of my way, afraid it would spread. I lost rest at night and I couldn't bear to have anything touch my face, not even the pillow. I had to lie on the back of the head. I was always glad when morning came so I could get up. It was extremely painful. "At last I thought of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and I commenced using them.

(IN INDIANA CORPORATION) (150) And the Basis of Her Health and Vigor Lies in the Careful Regulation of the Bowels. If woman's beauty depended upon cosmetics, every woman would be a picture of loveliness. But beauty lies deeper than that. It lies in health. In the majority of cases the basis of health, and the cause of sickness, can be traced to the action of the bowels. The headaches, the lassitude, the sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are usually due to constipation. So many things that women do habitually conduce to this trouble. They do not eat carefully, they eat indigestible foods because the foods are served daintily and they do not exercise enough. But whatever the particular cause may be it is important that the condition should be corrected. An ideal remedy for women, and one especially suited to their delicate requirements, is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which thousands of women endorse highly, among them Mrs. C. S. Vance, of 511 S. Ray St., New Castle, Pa. At times she had spells of indigestion so severe that she thought she would die. Syrup Pepsin regulated her stomach and bowels, and she attributes her excellent health today to this remedy. All the family can use Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, for thousands of mothers give it to babies and children. It is also admirably suited to the requirements of elderly people, in fact to all who by reason of age or infirmity cannot stand harsh salts, cathartics, pills or migratives.
