Does it Mean that One Man Claiming to be Baptist, Has the Right to Usurp the Authority of the Baptist? We Give out to the Baptist of the State Two Letters to read, and Wonder and Ponder [DR. C. C. PHILIPS.] Chicago, Ill, 77, 1914 Rev. Dr. Throgmorton: Dear Brother:— As President of our Convention I thought it proper to write and ask you since you have been assisting our Missionaries without the Co-operation of our board. We would like to learn upon what terms you would like to co-operate with our board and thereby help us to reach a larger number of the unreached people of our State. It is understood that all parties desiring to co-operate with our missionaries shall do so thru our board contracting with them. Our board will meet Friday July 9, at 10 a.m in Olivet Baptist church Chicago If it is possible we would be glad to have a reply by then from you. Praying the blessing of God upon you I am your in Him. P. S. Thanking you for what you have helped us do in the past. I am very sorry you did not write me sooner. I received your letter today, but I am a little afraid you will not get it before your Board meets tomorrow at 10:00 A.M. We would like very much to co-operate with the Board of your Convention in the support of Missionaries. I mean, by this in the support of such missionaries as you and we can agree The plan I would suggest is this: Your Board nominate the missionaries and agree with them as to salary. Then ask us, The Illinois Baptist State Association and the Home Board of Atlanta, to aid you in supporting them. On this plan of course we would have to approve of the missionaries whom you nominate before we could agree to help them Of course, if you could nominate the two brothers McWilliams and Phillips, they already have our approval. Then the plan would be for your Board to pay them so much, the State Association on pay them so much and the Home Board to pay them so much Submit this plan to your Board and if they consider it good, let them appoint a committee with power to act and let that confer with us. Your brother. NOTICE. Notice is hereby given that the Ministers and Deacons Union will meet on Tuesday before the 2nd Sunday in Sept. with the 1st Baptist church. It is earnestly urged that every minister both licentiate and ordained together with the deacons come fully prepared to take part in the work. Come singing and praying that we may have one grand meeting. Elder J. B. McGrary, Corresponding Sec'y A Much Needed Fund. Editor of The Gazette, I have noticed chronicled in several issues of your paper, the illness of Rev J. M. Blake of Metropolis, and also your appeal to the various churches for assistance for him, as his long illness has placed him in straitened circumstances. And then the thought came to me to our shame as a christian organization and as an association that we have no societies or organization within our association for the purpose of aiding the sick and distressed deserving ministers, whose lives have been given to the work of christianity and for the establishment and prosperity of the church. While we are not able to maintain a home for indigent ministers (I mean the association) but it is high time we were getting busy and create a fund in our associations for the sole purpose of rendering assistance to our distressed minister by reason of illness, and by so doing we will have reached a golden mile-stone in our christian civilization and filled a long telt want. It is the obglect of the church that has armed the secular benevolent societies with unanswerable argument. It is an open secret that the secret societies look after their sick members, christians or non-christians and bury the dead whereas, if the church had been vigilant and active in the performance of her duty, many of the benevolent organizations extant to-day would have been unheard of. In our yearly meetings we talk of founding schools, supporting missions both foreign and state, let us add one more worthy cause to our list and that to establish charity fund or Fund of charity in our associations for the above mentioned purpose, and then when one of our ministers are in need of some financial aid it can be contributed without parading his name to the public as a charge of public charity. This fund could be easily founded at a very small cost to the church-membership, say 20 or 25 cents per capita per annum, for the membership composing the association. If the secret orders expect from 25 to 50 cents per annum for their sick members surely we ought to as christians pay 25 cents per annum for the care of the sick in our church. I have known some of our minister brothers to die in dire poverty stricken condition, and their funerals were largely attend by visiting ministers to pay their last respect and extend sympathy to relatives and to do this it cost them several dollars when at the same time had they contributed one tenth of of that amount during his illness his needs might have been relieved and his life spared. These lines come to me at this time. A cheap boquet of roses white and red, Given to the living today; Is worth more than mounds and garlands of flowers Heaped upon your coffin after you are dead. Some time our misery and misfortune need sympathy, and other times need money, let us not get the latter confused with the former, and extend sympathy instead of the latter. Cordially and respectfully. E. C. PHILLIPS. Thou hast said well, this do, and thou shall have treasures in heaven Editor. Who Is To Blame? Who is to blame is the question asked by those, who paid into the State Convention at Carbondale in May $50.00 for the Livingston Institute located in Metropolis, but the same has been with held from its rightful owner either by the chairman of the Board of Education. Rev. S. L M Francis, of Chicago, Dr. E. J. Fisher, Pres, of the State Convention. We want to know who is to blame, and why any officer of said convention will withhold money donated to said institution. The writer being a member of the Board of Education was informed that the money would be sent to our treasurer T. C. Yancy but said money has not been sent. We want our dollar back or sent to the school to which it was given or we will see the reason why. We have been informed that the president of the convention stated in Chicago that he was going to move the school, to Chicago not withstanding the convention said Metropolis. We have written for the money but not so as a reply was given to our letter. Our Financial Secretary was on the grounds at the convention and asked for the money and would have received for it but the president ordered it held. Wonder why? If this state of affairs to be kept up in the State convention, I am through with it now. I will not belong to an organization that the minority or one man rules and such is the spirit of the now (so called Baptist Convention) If the ministers and churches of Southern Ill, had the manhood, and Baptist pride and believe that the majority should rule they would come together and organize a State Association and foster our school, as it is, the majority is ignored. We are tired of paying our expenses to the conventions and assist in doing business for the Baptists and after we return home the business so transacted either changed or held up by order of one or two men. We care not what others may do in the matter but for our self we will not submit to such actions any longer. Who is to blame? Carnation Art Club. The Carnation Art Club was royally entertained Monday afternoon Aug 10, at the home of Mrs. Ellen Buchanan with the assistance of Mrs. Betty Jackson. Sister Casey reported 05c, the soliciting committee reported $1.05. Rev. J. H. Smith, pastor of the A. M. E. church donated 10c. Mrs. Minnie Renfro 10c. The guest were invited into the dining room where a delicious two course lunch was served. FIRST COURSE. Chicken sandwiches, pickles and lemonade. SECOND COURSE. Cream and cake. Every one left the home well entertained The next meeting will be at sister Groves assisted by sister Griggs, next Monday. Livingston Notes. Our needs: — We need 2 Doz. small chairs for the Kindergarten department. 1 Doz. small scissors One large Bible 1-2 Doz. Wall lamps with reflectors for our night school. 200 chairs in our chapel room, at once. Therefore we ask each church, Sunday School, W. E. & M. Society and Ministers also individuals who are interested in education to send us a donation at once. Due credit will be given you through these columns also in our quarterly report. Any good book will be thankfully received for our library. The school is now open and students are accepted at any time. For any information write Rev. J. B. McCrary, Supt. and Secy., Box 367 Metropolis, Ill. Editor Gazette: It might be an inspiration to the S. S. of both East and Mount Olive to inform them the Mt. Pleasant S. S of Golconda and the Mt. Zion S. S. Dewmaine, have raised the $12.00 Conventional money. We realized in our S. S. rally $17.53. We had a letter from Supt. Ramsey of Marion stating that the S. S. had raised the $12.60 which should have been raised the last conventional year. But the convention gave them 30 more days to raise it for which they received $18.00 as they are endeavoring to build. We advised sister Bettie Wilkerson Mt. Vernon, Treasurer of the Institute to send Rev. J. M. Blake of Metropolis $1.00. Your sparks respecting the ministers and churches neglecting a preacher after he has worn himself out should stir every church and pastor. Remember sooner or later we must go the same way. "What so ever a man soweth that shall he also reap." C. C Phillips. NOTICE. To the Pastors and Local W. E, & M. Societies composing the convention auxiliary of the Mt. Olive Baptist Association of Southern Ill will convene with the Association on Friday before the Second Lords day in Sept. 1914. Each local is asked to represent by delegate or letter and pastor is asked to co operate with the women and see to it that each Church in this District be represented in the Educational work. Sisters come praying. Let us have a great meeting both financially and spiritually. Let each President collect as many pieces as you can for the Bazaar. Sis. J. E. Webb is chairman of the needle work department Sister Ollie Buchanan of Metropolis will assist her. Invite it. If you want opportunity to knock it your door tomorrow you've got to make a bid for it today. CAP and BELLS Nothing Disturbed Serenity of Baseball Umpire Until Little Son Told Wife of Mistake. Old Peter was feeling like one big, contented smile as he stood in the glorious sunshine, arrayed in a long coat of dazzling whiteness, umpiring the first match of the season. Looking up he noticed that the hands of the big clock on the pavilion had crept to ten minutes past twelve, and he realized that he was getting "pecklish." His right hand felt for the packet of sandwiches which his wife had insisted—much against his will—on putting in his pocket. Salmon and shrimp paste plastered between slices of a new bread and butter make a pleasant meal, and old Peter felt happier than ever. But on a sudden his brow became clouded, for, walking calmly out into the sacred field, came his small son, Billy. Heedless of frowns and warnings, Bill walked up to his parent. "Mother says she wants them sandwiches back." "Back?" roared the indignant umple. "Tvee them half an hour ago!" "Then you must clean your boots with salmon and shrimp paste tomorrow! Mother put the polish in your sandwiches!" Effective Substitute Tourist—You have an unusually large acreage of corn under cultivation; don't the crows annoy you a great deal? Farmer—Oh, not to any extent. Tourist—That's peculiar, considering you have no scarecrows. Farmer—Oh, well, you see, I'm out here a good part of the time myself. —New York Mall. No Longer Plain. "Of course you can depend on the wisdom of the plain people?" "I used to feel that way," replied the member of congress. "But after looking over the clothes and the dancing I can't help fearing that the people out home are getting rather fancy" The Proper Procedure "I asked the doctor the other day why an operation could be such a success when the patient died?" "What did he say?" "He gave me a look of scorn and said: 'Let's bury the subject.'" PAWN SHOP Greenbaum—I got a terrible bad coldt. Greenburg-Vhy don't you take something for it? Greenbaum—How much vill you gif me? He Enjoyed It. Mrs. Bacon—So you and your husband went to the musicale? Mrs. Egbert—Oh, yes. "Did you enjoy it?" "Well, I didn't, but my husband seemed to; you know he can't hear hardly a thing." Shoestore Proprietor — So Miss Jones on that last trip did not select for us a dancing slipper of proper style? Manager—No, sir. In selecting the slipper she did, she put her foot in it. The Ideal Patience—For keeping a woman's hands warm in a muff there has been invented a nickel cylinder which will retain the heat for several hours. Patrice—What's the matter? Think ill the wise man have gone out of town? HIT SOME ONE MIGHTY HARD Originator of Most of Settlement's Gossip is Not Damayed by Minister's Scathing Remarks. The minister of a large parish who had for some time been much troubled by the scandalous gossip that seemed to be occupying the minds of a portion of his flock, after exercising a great amount of tact and perseverance, at last succeeded in running to earth the originator of most of the settlement's society slander. The guilty one was a regular attendant at the schoolhouse services, and the minister knew that should he take him to task personally and individually, he would inevitably lose a sheep, albeit a black one, so he decided to sermonize him. Accordingly, a special discourse was prepared, and the following Sunday afternoon literally hurled at the offending member as he sat on a desk in the corner of the schoolroom. Everybody present appeared fully to appreciate the situation, and at the close of the service departed quietly and thoughtfully for home. All except the black sheep, who remarked to the minister: "That wer' a fine sermon, ser; I'll bet that hit some of 'em pretty hard." Extravagant Conqueror. "Ikey, vat is dot book you're readin'?' asked Ikey's father. "Aboudt Chullus Caesar, fader." "Und vot business vas he in?" "He was a sojler and ven he von a battle he writed home, 'Vedi, vedi, viol.'" "I bet he vent bankrupt—such extravagance! Vy he could send seven more vords for a kvarter."—Livingston Lanes. DEALING IN FUTURES. Mr. Acker—That's right; calculating how much you have spent on your spring outfit, are you? Mrs. Acker (calmly)—I am making up my appropriation for summer dresses and hats. An Innocent Victim. "This food problem is something awful!" exclaimed the querulous man. "Still harping on the high cost of living?" "No. My wife has decided to reduce her weight. I wouldn't care what food cost if she would only consent to buy it." Hopeless. "Is there any public man who really meets with your full approval?" asked the weary listener. "No," replied Mr. Growcher; "years ago I gave up trying to decide which man I liked most. I went ahead and voted for the one who displeased me least." Sam's Idea. "Yes, boss." "I read in the paper today that an electric burglar alarm has been adapted for the chicken coop. What do you think of that?" "Why, I see in dat, boss, a blow at de liberties of de people!" Disquested. John—I see that a New York police man is charged with mendacity. Jim—That's the way with those high-brow officials. Always trumping up something new and far-fetched. Why don't they get after the liars an grafters?"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Comea Handy. Redd—They say he was quite a hurdle-racer in his college days. Greene—But what good does that do him now? "A lot of good. Why, he says they're nearly always housecleaning at his home." Safe Place Patience—This paper says that, according to scientists, not a single microbe exists in mountain air above the height of 2,000 feet. Patrice—Good! Now I'll look up some mountain summer resort where a girl can kiss without any danger. Looks That Way. Belle—Has he proposed yet? Beulah—Not yet. "What's the matter with him?" "I don't know; he just sits and watches me." "Oh, I guess he believes in the policy of watchful waiting, probably." Oh! "Where is your corset department?" asked the man, consulting his wrist watch, as he entered the department store. "For your wife, I suppose?" suggested the floor-walker. "Excuse me, sir; I have no wife." METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS. ILL. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS "Iconoclast" declares, emphatically, that in the United States the negro receives just treatment, and that he has similar opportunities for advancement as the white man of the same financial status. These statements I deny with equal emphasis, says a writer in a Chicago paper. I have been in every state in the Union, as well as in many foreign countries, and I have yet to see a place in English speaking America, with the exception of the British West Indies and British Guiana, where even the respectable negro is treated, not as a colored human being, but as a human being. There is a great difference in the distinction. Even in these excepted places, as well as in the remainder of the new world, the genuine or nearly genuine negro suffers many disabilities. To the uninitiated the negro in the North receives apparently fair play. There is the appearance of his being able to come and go at volition, but such is not the case, and there are many restrictions. "Iconoclast," if I rightly judge, can base his opinion only on a one sided experience of the matter. To get some idea of the other side I would advise him to "color" up himself—just a little will do—and go forth to prove his assertions. He need not go south, but can remain right here in Chicago, where the negro is treated better than anywhere else north of the Rio Grande. Supposing him to be a paragon of refinement and culture, let him try to get employment other than menial, or to get a good seat in a theater, or to find a first class restaurant where he is not frowned upon. In at least one loop restaurant I know he will see a sign on the door telling him "We cater to white people only." I was once assaulted in a New York lunchroom for no other reason than the color of my skin. I went in and ordered in the politest possible manner a meal. It is true that the negro is indebted, directly or indirectly, for his all to the white man, but has he not overearned it by the unrequited toll of centuries? Is not the same or even more done for the newly arrived foreigner, who had absolutely no hand in the country's development? There is a great difference between the opportunity of the poorer white man and that of the negro. The former, if he has health and the will to succeed, can aspire and hope eventually to reach any position. In no other country in the world has he such opportunities. Lincoln, Carnegie, Rockefeller and many others sprang from this class, and the chances are better today, because this great republic is now at the zenith of its power. The negro is susceptible to aesthetic refinement, or to its direct opposite, and he is today in all parts of the world just what his environment makes him. It has been estimated that during the present year 1,248,000 factory hands in Russia have already participated in strikes, in addition to 215,000 others who are employed in establishments not under the factory act. Chinchillas, valuable fur-bearing animals, which inhabit high mountains in Chile, have been imported into England for breeding experiments on a farm. That service and self-sacrifice are the gems of life, and that these virtues should be practised by the educated members of the colored race who are struggling to uplift their people, was the sentiment expressed by Henry Lincoln Johnson, the retiring recorder of deeds, before a large audience of members of the Christian Endeavor Societies of southwest Washington, at St. Paul's A. M. E. church. "For myself," said Johnson, "I would not care to live in any completed community where there were no unfortunate ones to help, no evil to combat, no suffering or distress to relieve, no lowly ones to lift up, no inspiration for service—in short, no real work to be done. "The Christian Endeavor," he said, in referring to the work of the societies, "deserves to be commended for the good work it has accomplished for racial and human uplift, and especially will it find among the 100,000 colored inhabitants of Washington a large field and ample opportunity for useful service." The old-fashioned man who used to deal in good greens now has a son who deals in green goods. It takes a woman two hours longer to wash the front windows than it does to wash the back windows. A rag and a bone and a bank of hair. And the rag so thin that it mep stare. A woman is always afraid of mice if she is wearing silk stockings and there is a man around. The Tennessee supreme court's decision that former slaves cannot inherit property under the ordinary rules of kinship was upheld by the Supreme court of the United States. The question arose over the case of John Jones, a former slave, who owned a farm in Tennessee at the time of his death, and the construction of the state laws of Tennessee, which deny the right of collateral inheritance to be in violation of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution. John Jones died in Shelby county, Tenn., possessing 77 acres of land. He left no children, but a number of brothers and sisters. Marguerite Jones, the widow of John Jones, claimed the property. Will Jones secured quit claim deeds from the brothers and sisters, turning over to him their interests in the property. Litigation resulted, in which the Tennessee courts held in favor of Marguerite Jones. They held that the brothers and sisters were born in the days of slavery, and hence could have no inheritable interest in the land. Will Jones, in his appeal to the Supreme court of the United States, claimed that this decree of the Tennessee court violated the fourteenth amendment to the constitution by depriving former slaves of their civil rights as guaranteed to them by the organic law of the land. Marguerite Jones claimed, that the state of Tennessee had the right to say which of its citizens should inherit the lands of another citizen dying intestate, and also that none of the constitutional rights of Will Jones had been transgressed. Under the decision the land goes to Jones' widow. The promise of Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago to duplicate all gifts for negro rural public schools in the South is no less notable for its wisdom than for its generosity. It is not clear from the dispatches whether this refers only to sums raised by colored people or by others; in either event, it is munificent enough. But Mr. Rosenwald is accustomed to bestowing his benefactions both wisely and generously, as witness what he has done for the Y. M. C. A. movement among the colored people. A number of impressive and useful buildings have arisen because of his aid and inspiration. So disheartening has been the condition of the negro rural school—in many counties they offer a mere mockery of education—that the Slater and general education boards, as well as the Jeanes fund which applies itself exclusively to the colored rural public schools, have been devoting themselves to the task of obtaining better supervision, better teachers, and better conditions. If Mr. Rosenwald will now duplicate every dollar raised by the colored people to improve their cross-roads schools, a splendid spur for their activities—and they give generously in comparison with their small means—has been provided. The colored population of the South is making more rapid progress in every line than those of the North, according to the Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, pastor of the Cosmopolitan Baptist church, who, in a sermon declared it would be but a short time when colored men desiring to advance themselves will return to their southern homes. He said that labor organizations in the North are prejudiced against members of the colored race, and in many trades exclude them from employment. Paul Laurence Dunbar day was celebrated by pupils of the G. R. Giddings school at Washington on the last day of the session. The anniversary of Dunbar's birth falls on June 27, but as school closed before that date it was decided to celebrate it on the day named. Exercises were also held recently by the school in memory of Samuel Coleridge Taylor. At this time Mrs. Andrew F. Hillyer made an address and Miss Louise Howard sang folk songs from his works. The birth and early childhood of Dunbar was the subject of an address by Miss M. A. D. Madre, delivered in connection with the Dunbar day exercises. Miss L. A. Smith told of his start in life. Recitations were given by Misses E. J. Jones, Florence Scott and V. E. Edelin. Miss I. B. Clarkson also took part. Pupils participating were Marcelena Underwood, Beulah Overton, Theresa Butler, Margaret Cole, Manuel! Cole, Dorothy Sinkfield, Francis Brown, Thomas Belt, Antoinette Bitchel, Florence Washington and Beulah May Green. A brute is a man who insists upon making his wife let him have his own way once a week. What has become of the old-fashioned man who wore a hair-hair watch chain?

HARD TO TRACE IDEA Here Is Told How It Is Possible for One to Travel. I am largely a solitary, and, having a sufficient income, employ my time by sitting in my studio and collecting thoughts. One evening a literary friend dropped in. Perceiving after a time that he appeared to be embarrassed, I asked what the difficulty was. "I have a request to prefer," he said. "I shall be happy to do what I can for you." "Upon my last visit you entertained me with an idea. Would it be possible for me to borrow that idea from you? I promise to return it." In a whisper he described what it was. I controlled myself as I listened. Alas! He thought it was mine—but I myself had borrowed it. I determined, however, from pure vanity, not to inform him of this fact. "Certainly," I replied. "I shall be most happy to let you have my idea. Keep it as long as you like." He departed with it joyfully, and the next evening another friend dropped in. As I saw him, I became astonished. It was long since he had favored me with a visit, and I recognized him as the one from whom I had borrowed the idea I had loaned. Smiling, he took his seat. "By the way," he began, "I hope you will excuse me, but some time ago you borrowed an idea of mine, and if I could have it back—" "Certainly, I will see that it is put in order and returned to you at once. Thank you for reminding me." This I said with outward ease, but inwardly I was greatly troubled. My second friend laughed at my manner. "Confess," he said abruptly, "that you have not that idea now in your possession. I know this because I am a day late." "What do you mean?" I asked sternly. "I was to have come last night. Indeed, I did come as far as the entrance to this studio. There I met a friend of yours, coming out." "And what happened?" I asked, feverishly. "I perceived," he replied, "that he had my idea with him—under his arm. 'You have borrowed that,' I shouted, 'from the man whom you have just visited! It is mine! You must give it to me." "And what did he reply?" "He drew himself up haughtily and said: 'What nonsense! This is my own original idea.' While we were disputing together, a third man came up, and before we knew it he had grabbed the idea and made 'way with it.'" I leaned forward anxiously. I was fond of that idea, and to have it stolen was a calamity; for, alas, I had no other. "Who was he?" I asked. "Do you know this thief who stole it?" And my second friend smiled back: "Certainly. He was the one from whom I borrowed it originally."—Lippincott's. Pope's Triple Crown. Originally the tiarà, or triple crown, of the pope was a plain high cap, much like those in which doges of Venice are so often represented in old pictures. It was first introduced by Pope Nicholas I in 860. Just when the first coronet was added is a matter of uncertainty, but the second was placed by Pope Boniface VIII in 1296 and the third by Pope Urban V about 1388. It has been held that the three crowns refer to the holy trinity, though that evidently could not have been the original idea, for they would certainly have not been added one after the other with an intervening period in each case of many years. Some authorities contend that they denote the three-fold royalty of the bishop of Rome, one being the symbol of the temporal power over the Roman states; another the spiritual exercised over the souls of men, and the third the authority over all the kings and potentates of Christendom.—Washington Star. Danger in the Dance. Brown attended a party one night, but being quite heavy and rather awkward, he was unfortunate in finding most of the dance cards filled. Consequently his evening was largely spent sitting amidst the papier-mache palms watching the other dancers. "Oh, Mr. Brown!" cried a sweet young thing. "What in the world are you doing sitting here? Why aren't you dancing?" "No fault of mine, Miss Smith," volubly fibbed Brown. "You must blame the doctor." "Blame the doctor!" returned the sweet young thing. "I don't understand." "I am drinking cream for my health, Miss Smith," explained Brown, "and he is afraid I might tango it into butter." After having eaten two dishes of pudding, Fred asked for a third dish. "Why, Fred," said his mother "don't you think you have had enough." "No, I guess not," was the reply, "My stomach only aches a little bit." Libby's Soups Soup making is an art.

This has been accomplished by a new process which has been devised by an engineer of Hamburg, W. Engle. He has succeeded in making plates of marble no more than three millimeters in thickness and for the use designated it is available up to 20 millimeters thick. The suitability of marble for this purpose was realized some time ago, but the difficulty encountered was that of securing the marble in slabs of sufficient thinness. These plates permit of the passage of a greater amount of light than frosted glass does, and at the same time imparts to the rays a much pleasanter color. Most opal glass imparts to the light an undesirable greenish tinge, while the light which passes through the marble has a reddish violet which is much pleasanter. After the marble has been ground down to the desired thickness it is subjected to an immersion in oil under high pressure, and the effects secured in this manner are said the superior to those of stained glass. GOOD CHANGE. Coffee to Postum The large army of persons who have found relief from many chronic ailments by changing from coffee to Postum as a daily beverage, is growing each day. It is only a simple question of trying it for oneself in order to know the joy of returning health as realized by an ill. young lady. She writes: "I had been a coffee drinker nearly all my life and it affected my stomach — caused insomnia and I was seldom without a headache. I had heard about Postum and how beneficial it was, so concluded to quit coffee and try it. "I was delighted with the change. I can now sleep well and seldom ever have headache. My stomach has gotten strong and I can eat without suffering afterwards. I think my whole system greatly benefited by Postum. "My brother also suffered from stomach trouble while he drank coffee, but now, since using Postum, he feels so much better he would not go back to coffee for anything."

This is scandalously shabby—look at it!" "I guess you're right," her husband admitted. "Well, why don't you go in town today and order some? Business is pretty good this season, and I guess we can afford it all right." "I would," she mused, "only I've such a busy week ahead, with the dressmaker coming and all, and the club luncheon here on Saturday, and it takes so much time, and the train service is so bad, excepting in the early morning and the evening. Can't you order it, dear—slip off on the way to luncheon, you know, or something? Beifeld's store is so near you, and we're old customers of theirs. "Very well; I'll do my best," he capitulated without enthusiasm, adding firmly, "but it's to be understood that if I choose the paper it stays. We don't want any nuffy workmen and extra trips this time." "Oh, of course!" she cooed, delighted that she had won her point so readily. "I promise to accept whatever you send out. And thank you so much, dear." A few moments later he left the house. "If I'm not back tonight," he said in parting, "you'll know that I've had to run over to New York. As I told you, Dodd will wire me about how the deal goes, and if I'm needed I may have to stay overnight to get the documents into shape. I'll try to phone you definitely late this afternoon. You won't be afraid with Nora here. But about that wallpaper—" "Just slip in the order if you have time," she called after him. Evidently he did so, for two paperhangers, completely equipped, arrived early that afternoon. Mrs. Skidmpre had the dining room ready, in anticipation of their coming, but just as she was about to inspect a roll of the paper Nora announced a caller, and she spent a long hour with garrulous old Mrs. Haggood, whose numerous ills furnished ample material for conversation. A brisk slapping of paste brushes across the hall soon proclaimed that the men were at work; but she quelled a slight uneasiness with the thought that Peter's quiet taste, plus the esthetic ideals which she had drilled into him, would not let him go far wrong. Another caller followed fast, and then a persistent book agent, so that it was a long time before she was free to inspect the room. Three walls were completed when she stepped in—and stood aghast! All over her dainty little dining room sprawled a gigantic-patterned "landscape" paper, its enormous trees and staring flowers of blue and green vivid against an uncanny buff sky! She had seen one like it in a window once, and had shuddered in passing. And to think that Peter had betrayed his trust in this way! She felt a wild desire to stop the men, but recalled her promise to take whatever Peter might send. There was no trace of excitement in her manner when her husband came home from New York late that evening. He had dined on the train, so they did not go to the chamber of horrors that night. She purposely avoided speaking of the dining room, and he forgot it until, as they passed the door on their way upstairs, he asked, casually, whether the men had come, and how she liked the paper. "Yes, they came," she answered, briefly; adding, with that baffling, frosty edge to her tone, "the paper isn't exactly what I should have chosen, but of course if you like it—" Evidently, thought Peter, his choice had not pleased her; but he was very tired and sleepy, and felt grateful to her because she was clearly dropping the subject for the night. Breakfast was a little late the next morning, and he hurried into the dining room somewhat in advance of his wife. The new paper was ready for him, and struck him fairly between the eyes. He almost staggered with the suddenness of the blow. "Mabel!" he gasped, turning to his wife with horror-stricken face, "that paper! How—when—why did you choose such a—" "Peter Skidmore!" she interrupted, anger and amazement struggling for mastery, "are you crazy? Don't you remember choosing and sending it yourself?" "I didn't!" he asserted, indignantly; "I never saw it before! Wait, though—I did see it at Belfield's, with a big, florid, diamond-and-peroxide ladyushing over it! They mixed the orders, somehow, Mabel—it must be that! Why, mine was a beauty; just the kind you like—ivory, with a hint of green. But, oh, Mabel, to think you'd believe me capable of unloading a nightmare like that on my innocent wife! I see, though, that circumstantial evidence was against me. But you must have thought I was drunk, Mab!" "Not quite that!" she was beginning to smile faintly; "I didn't know just what to think." They sat down, and she glanced at the mall which Nora had just brought in. "Here's a note from Belfield, now, explaining the whole thing, and apologizing in his best style!" she exclaimed, passing the letter to him. "It was a mix-up of orders, just as you said, by a green salesman, and he promises to set it all right in a day or two. I might have known you wouldn't choose it—and, oh, Peter, I'm sorry I was cross!" "But you weren't!" he reminded her, much impressed; "and, considering what you thought I'd done—why, my fear, I think you acted like a little white angel!"—Buffalo Express.

Everett P. Dahlgren, the millionaire opponent of woman suffrage, said at a suffrage debate in Boston: "I always declare that woman shouldn't enter politics till she's fulfilled all her prior duties. "Prior duties! Prior duties! So a young lady mocked me one day. What do you men mean by these "prior duties" that you're always talking about, Mr. Dahlgren? "So then I told the young lady this story: "Once upon a time, I began, a little hole was born; and it looked around to see where it should take up its abode. "It first decided on a window, but a man came straightway and put in a new pane. It next choose a chair seat, but the housewife sent for a caner, and in a jiffy a new seat was put in the chair. The hole now selected a baby's rattle, and the baby was so pleased that it began to tear the rattle to pieces, and the poor hole, half crazed with fright, had just time to escape. It threw itself, more dead than alive, into the first thing that came to hand, which happened to be the sock of a suffragist's husband. "There, at least, the hole seems to have found a real home. Its peace has not been troubled from the beginning, six months ago." RASH SPREAD RAPIDLY Granton, Wis.—"My sister had a very bad, deep, wet, running sore on the side of her face and it ran up to her ear. It commenced with a small blotch of pimples which turned into a kind of rash and spread rapidly. It itched and looked red and sore for some time and slightly swelled. A thin fluid dripped and ran from the sores which looked like water. Then the swelling would go down and it would keep on spreading. It bothered her during sleep and she would be restless. It was a kind of eczema. "She treated for some time and it did not help her. It kept spreading larger and deeper.

GET WIRELESS BY BEDSPRING Eastern Amateur Experiments With a Novel Form of Antennae and Is Successful. Cyrus H. Flandreaux of Peekskill, N. Y., gives the following interesting account of his experiments with a novel form of antennae for wireless telegraphy: "There are many things used as antennae to catch the mysterious electric wives which carry our wireless messages through space, and I find that the springs of my bed serve as very efficient antennae. My room is on the second story of my house, and by using these springs as antennae I can easily read the signals, sent out every night by the wireless station at Sayville, L. I., although they are not by any means so loud as when I use my outdoor antennae, which are 40 feet above ground, 60 feet long and consists of four wires on spreaders, the wires being two feet apart. "The bedspring antennae are best for use with nearby high power stations. Sayville, L. L., is about fifty miles from Peekskill. With my outdoor antennae I continually hear the Arlington (Va.) naval station when it sends out the correct time signals at 11:55 a. m and at 9:55 p. m.; also the weather reports, Brooklyn navy yard; New London, Conn.; Cape Cod and others, including amateur stations too numerous to mention. "I have an all-round good apparatus. I hold a station license and an operator's license, both issued by the United States government. My official call is 2 V U." Puzzled the Parson At a marriage service performed some time ago in a little country church in Georgia, when the minister said in a solemn tone: "Wilt thou have this man to be thy wedded husband?" Instead of the woman answering for herself, a gruff man's voice answered: "I will." The minister looked up very much perplexed, and paused. He repeated the sentence, and again the same gruff voice answered, "I will." Again the minister looked up surprised, not knowing what to make of it, when one of the groomsmen at the end of the row said: "She's deef, parson, an' I'm answerin' for her." Died With Fortune Near.

TANGO AS CAUSE OF CRIME Brooklyn Judge Blames Theft by Two Youths to Nights Given to Modern Dance. In suspending sentence in the cases of two youths who had pleaded guilty to attempted grand larceny, County Judge Fawcett in Brooklyn listed "white lights and tango nights" in the catalogue of incentives to crime. "You can't expect to dance all night," he said, "and lie abed half the day, yet always have money for your carousals, unless you steal it. And let me tell you our jails and penitentiaries are full of people with just such ideas. If your family had given you good beatings instead of money to spend, it would have been better for you." The boys, John Colver, twenty years old, of 487 Hancock street, and Carlton Chapman, sixteen, of 362 Jefferson avenue, had been indicted for stealing money and jewelry from Adelaide Wiston, keeper of a furnished room house, where they lived for a time. They belonged to respectable families of moderate means. Both promised the judge to go home and begin again, Chapman to return to school, and Colver to work. Both wore tango pumps and silk shirts when arraigned.—New York Sun. One Hundred Years Ago. The curious modes which women affect now began as far back as 1798, which is a period we should hardly wish to copy in most respects. A dance not at all unlike the tango was in vogue at that time, and had many exponents, who danced in loose bodices opening in a V shape from the shoulders almost to the waist. Skirts were slit and were often made of transparent gauze. We may return to the gowns of that period, which were without waists, having simply a girdle to the bust, with skirts caught up rather short in front and slightly trained at the back. In 1800 women wore sandals and bare feet. Corset belts were only about two inches wide. Some gowns were caught up to the knee with large cameos. Soon fashion overreached itself, and then came crinolines, pointed footgear and unnaturally small waists. Are we coming to this?

Unionville, Mo.—"I suffered from a female trouble and I got so weak that I could hardly walk across the floor without holding on to something.
