Peoria, Ill., Aug. 22, 1914. To The Negro Baptists of Ill.: My Dear Brethren:—On Tuesday, September 1, 1914. The Wood River Baptist association of Central Illinois, will open its Seventy Fifth annual session or, Diamond Jubilee Meeting in The Union Baptist church of Alton, Illinois. The Wood River Baptist association in The United States of America. It was organized by the pastors and the representatives of three Negro Baptist churches in 1839. The Union Baptist church of Alton (in which the Diamond Anniversary is to be held in a few days) is one of the churches that took part in the organizing of the association seventy five years ago. This same church will entertain the delegates to the great meeting during the first week in September. It is hoped that every Negro Baptist church in Illinois is interested in this Great Diamond Jubilee Anniversary. It is hoped that every church in the State of Illinois will send a delegate to this session. send their Moderators, and other Auxiliary organization leaders to The Diamond Anniversary as Corresponding messengers. Let each one come to make this the greatest meeting in the history of the Negro Baptist of Illinois. By action of the association last year (so as to help the church entertain this great multitude of people) each delegate will be required to pay $1.00 when he registers, to aid the church. Keep this in mind. Dr. G. G. Mason pastor of the Union Baptist church of Alton, says that, "Everything is now ready for the entertainment of all the delegates who come." It would be to the advantage of the session, and the elegates should they all try to be present at the opening of the Session Tuesday morning, September 1, at 9:00, o'clock. Send your best and most efficient workers as delegates this year. In the belief that the great brotherhood of Baptists is deeply interested in this meeting which marks an epoch in Negro Baptist history of The United States of America, and in the belief that the ministers of Illinois, will lend their help by their presence in Alton, September 1. I take this opportunity to welcome you all to this Diamond Jubilee Anniversary of The Wood River Baptist Association. Jacksonville, Illinois. Rev. B. N. Murrell S. J. Douglas.

No candidate of any party in recent years has received such a majority in our county and should he receive the nomination for Clerk of the Appelate Court the people of old Wayne will demonstrate their appreciation of the honor and their confidence in his ability and integrity by giving him a still larger vote at the polls next November. Mr. Johnson is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church here in Fairfield, and for years has been one of its most active and strongest workers. He is also a member of the Masonic order, and takes great interest in the work of that organization. ```markdown ``` CHARLES C. JOHNSON This week Charles C. Johnson, of Fairfield, announces his candidacy for the Republican nomination for clerk of the Appellate Court. Charley, as all his friends call him, needs no introduction to the voters of Wayne county. In his eight years service as county Clerk of this county he has probably acquired the widest acquaintance of any man in the county, and among all those who know him not one has ever been heard to utter a word of criticism of his official conduct. He has made one of the most efficient and economical clerks Wayne county has ever had, giving his entire time and attention to the duties of his office and zealously looking after the interest of the county. Mr. Johnson is 33 years of age, married and has three children. He was born and reared on a farm and has had the experiences common to farm boys struggling to secure an education. After leaving the district schools he attended school at Flora and Fairfield, fitting himself to teach, for six years he was one of the most successful teachers in our county. He was then appointed deputy county clerk and served sixteen months in that capacity. In 1906 he was nominated by the Republicans for county clerk and was elected by a majority of 384, receiving the largest vote vote of any one on the ticket In 1910 he was a candidate for re-election and the people again showed their confidence in him and their appreciu- Wayne county takes especial pride in presenting the name of Mr. Johnson to the Republicans of this Appellate Court district as her candidate for the nomination for clerk of that court. Without reflecting upon the qualifications of any other candidate we can say that no better man than Charlie Johnson is asking for this nomination. Clean, honest and capable, a Republican of the staunchest kind, if nominated he will make a candidate against whom not one word of criticism can be truthfully uttered. He is not only qualified to fill the office but has twice demonstrated that he is a campaigner and a vote getter, two essential qualifications in a candidate. A vote for C. C. Johnson will be voting for a clean man and a strong candidate.—(From Wayne County Press). Adv. CAP and BELLS Two Superior Town Youths Recuperating in Country Experienced Difficulty in Placing Bit. "If you fellows care to go for a spin in the dogcart do so with pleasure," said the farmer to the two superior town youths who were recuperating in the country. "Not bad sport, that," said one to the other when the farmer had set off for his turnip fields. "Easy thing to harness a horse, isn't it?" "Oh, quite simple, dear boy." Nevertheless, both seemed a little doubtful on reaching the stable as to whether the animal's head or tail was the correct point at which to start. Argument decided that the latter end of the wretched animal was the starting point, and after much snorting and stamping, they reached the head, where their chief difficulty lay in adjusting the bit. "There's only one thing to do—wait," said one despairingly. "Wait? For what?" "Why, wait for the wretched beast to yawn."—Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. IN DAYS OF OLD.

ANSWER WAS TO THE POINT Old Lady of 93 Did Not Mince Words In Reply to Question Propounded by Her Pastor. The pastor of a well-known Boston church was calling a short while ago on a dear old lady, one of the "pillars" of the church to which they both belonged. Looking upon her sweet, motherly face, which bore few tokens of her ninety-three years of earthly pilgrimage, he was moved to ask her: "My dear Mrs. Adams, what has been the chief source of your wonderful strength and sustenance during all these years? What do you consider has been the real basis of your extraordinary vigor of mind and body, and has been to you an unfailing comfort through joys and sorrows which must come to all of God's creatures? Tell me, that I may pass the secret to others, and, if possible, profit by it myself." The good pastor waited with unusual eagerness for the old lady's reply, which she gave, after a moment's reflection, while her kindly old eyes were dimmed with tears. "Victuals," she answered briefly.—Harper's. Her Carelessness "They say nature makes no mistakes, but I doubt it." "What makes you doubt it?" "Why did she put a lid on the eye and forget to put one on the chest?" The Preference. "Mrs. Smith has a husband who pays her unremitting attention when she is away." "I would rather have a husband of cash remitting attention." The Reason. "Never try to steal a kiss from a fat girl." "Why not a fat girl?" "Because she is likely to put up a stout resistance." Cause and Effect. "I think I know one reason of the patient's hacking cough." "What is it?" "He's got such a hatchet-faced nurse." An Exception. "Full of trouble as the world may be, there is no man living whom nobody loves." "I don't know about that! How about the baseball umpire?" Exhausted His Credit- "I'm afraid Blobson did not receive much benefit at the health resort he visited." "Was the altitude too high?" "No: the stakes were." All Watched. "I understand the new arrival, Mrs. Blowster, expects to do a great deal of entertaining." "The neighbors were entertained when she moved in." A Good Reason. "Call up on the long distance phone." "I can't." "Why not?" "I'm too short." Impossible. "That baby is going to take after his father." "No, he isn't. His father never leaves anything after him for anybody to take." SURE. Bstander (to painter who has fallen from his scaffold, upsetting his paint)—Rather a bad fall, eh? Painter—Yes, but I came down with flying colors. In the Conservatory. Miss Oldgirl—I assure you, when I heard the story, I was rooted to the spot. Miss Pert—I see. A regular century plant. Contradictory. "People have queer ways of expressing opinions." "For instance?" "They talk of a man's having loose ways when he gets tight." Sew on Own Buttons. Bacon—I see at the Minnesota School of Agriculture a course of sewing for men is to be included in the curriculum." Egbert—Doesn't this look like a blow at the nail industry?" METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The recent visit of Dr. Booker T. Washington to this city and the splendid address which he delivered brought to mind an incident of a few weeks ago, relates the Chicago News. A young negro of what might be called the diletante class, was heard saying to a newly arrived stranger: "Don't tell any one in Chicago that you are from Tuskegee institute." To this advice the stranger without hesitation replied to the effect that he was proud to be identified with an institution that meant so much constructively in the life of his race, and that any one who was conversant with the needs of the people served by the school could not be dialect to it. The former young man did not necessarily mean harm, but unfortunately he misrepresented the spirit of this great city. Chicago, sharing the American ideal, is in harmony with movements everywhere which makes for human uplift, and her representative citizens are as eager to encourage in Alabama as well as in Illinois any organization representing an investment in useful, nondependent citizenship. The Tuskegee institute is not only an efficient school for training the negro in manual arts and in agriculture. It is primarily a school for human culture, indeed for race culture, considering the important part it has played and is destined to play in the education of the negro race. It took the world a long time to acknowledge the truth that physical control and the workman's skill in the manipulation of his tools and the practise of his art are as essential contributions to human welfare and to appreciate fine are from an academic point of view or to translate classical writings or decipher fascinating problems in mathematics. Those who from apartathy, indulence or prejudice have not kept abreast with the trend of education and the progress of the glorious humanitarian movements of this day are the ones who date upon what a living age has buried in books. They offer no helping hand in the solution of vital problems. The Tuskegee institute is an active agency not only in education but in social amelioration. Truly there can be no complete appreciation of the work that Doctor Washington is doing for this country if the appalling need for this work is overlooked. As this need is realized so will the friends of the work increase, together with the encouragement and inspiration of his benevolent supporters. At an expenditure exceeding $10,000,000 London will build a dock ample enough to accommodate any merchant steamer affloat or which will be likely to enter the Thames for many years to come. A thousand persons gathered in Epiphyane church in G street at Washington to bid farewell to James. For forty-one years James, the colored sexton, had rung the chapel bell that called the parishoners and greeted their arrival with a happy face. He was accorded honors at his funeral service that no person ever buried from that church has received. The aged negro was given the distinction of having a funeral address preached for him, as sermons on burial occasions are never given in the Eposcopal service. Five hundred colored people attended the service and were ushered into their places by the usual church attendants. The Panama canal is lighted along its entire length by electricity, for lighthouses, buoys, etc. A recent bulletin issued by the census bureau giving mortality figures for the year 1913, seems to have made a deep impression in the South because of the ominously high figures for the negroes in the southern cities. These are the deaths per thousand: | | White | Negro | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Memphis | 15.9 | 28.2 | | Richmond | 16.7 | 26.8 | | New Orleans | 15.6 | 21.9 | | Baltimore | 16.2 | 21.0 | | Nashville | 14.7 | 24.0 | | Birmingham | 12.3 | 25.2 | | Atlanta | 13.5 | 25.2 | | Washington | 14.4 | 24.4 | The Atlanta Constitution vigorously calls attention to this situation, pointing out that the diseases which cause such a death rate among the negroes must, in the close contact of urban life, be a menace to the whites, and that, therefore, the whites have a selfish interest in improving the standards of negro life.—Springfield Republican. A serious-minded Englishman read a paper before the Royal Statistical society the other day, in which he recommended that a card index registering the details of the lives of every person should be kept at some central government office. Every person would have his number, according to this scheme, which already has given considerable amusement to Punch and the humorists generally. Electric vehicles are now being used in the streets-of London for sprinkling and sweeping "Give the negro a chance." This was the theme that thrilled through the address of Booker T. Washington when he spoke at Chicago before the convention of the International Sunday School association in Medinah temple. Mr. Washington proved to be one af the most popular speakers that have addressed the convention and his appeal to the Sunday school leaders to help the negro and to give him a chance brought repeated applause from the delegates and visitors who filled the big hall to overflowing. "What the black man needs is the old time religion," said the speaker. "That's the theology I want to take to my people. The negro is better off close to the soil and in the South, and I want to keep him there, if you will bring the Sunday school to him. Take the old theology to him, the theology that says, 'Thou shalt not steal,' Thou shalt not kill,' 'Thou shalt not bear false witness,' 'Thou shalt not commit adultery.' "I want no man's sympathy because I am a negro," he said. "I thank God every day that I belong to this race. I wouldn't change places with the whitest man in America. We have problems to solve, such problems as the white man has not, and my people need some one to lead and help them. But remember, it is not always unfortunate for a race to have problems to confront; such problems turn races into kingdoms and nations." The resolutions committee reported to the convention and resolutions favoring a federal law for the regulation of marriage and divorce, a single standard of purity for both sexes, rigid laws against commercialized vice, lotteries and gambling, consoring of moving pictures, the abolishment of child labor under the age of sixteen, the destruction of the liquor traffic, the advancement of international peace and the observance of the sabbath were passed. Country negroes of the better type are good workers and thrifty managers, pretty sure to become ultimately land owners and self-employers. Negro ownership of land in the South increased 150 per cent in the first decade of the twentieth century. But in this advancement of the best of the race from tenancy and wage working to larger or smaller agricultural proprietorship the author sees a bad influence upon those less fortunate or deserving, an agency making for the deterioration in character and efficiency in the labor left available for the white man's plantation; her observation and interest seem to be rural and agricultural more than urban and industrial. And the unreliability of this labor is in turn responsible for devices verging upon peonism, holding the laborer to the land with chains of debt: "For many years the South squandered the fertility of her fields. We are learning of late years, slowly and painfully, to build up the impoverished soil, and restore it to its former richness. But we have overlooked the squandered fertility of labor. Until we build up the worker the material on which his work is spent will never yield its normal return. The houses of very many farm laborers are more than enough to sap their vitality, to destroy ambition and self-respect and to foster immorality and disease. Conditions like these filch from the community its capital of human productiveness."—Mrs. I. H. Hammond, in her book "In Black and White." The president of Uruguay is reported to be considering the advisability of creating a national printing establishment to undertake all the printing work of the various government departments. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes has for its purpose to protect colored women from moral and financial exploitation, to provide playgrounds and recreation centers, to organize boys' and girls' clubs and neighborhood unions of adults, to secure and train negro social workers, to develop co-operation among welfare agencies, to provide employment facilities to fit workers for their occupation, to provide probation care for juvenile and adult delinquents, to render neighborhoods free from vice where respectable people may have homes, and to investigate city conditions among negroes. Its headquarters are in New York. Argentine telegraph companies are bringing into general use a system whereby messages are received automatically with printed type. In the days of old Rome a woman's character was known by her dress. The toga was worn by the men, but the stola was the raiment for the women. It was a loose garment worn over the tunic, and was usually caught at the waist by a girdle. Divorced women and courteans were not allowed to wear it. Russia is making great efforts to develop unproductive parts of the Caucasus by preventing river floods and increasing irrigation drainage and canal construction. FOR THE CASTAWAYS Stations With Provisions Established on Lonely Islands. Most Extensive of These Supplies Are Those Existing South of the Liner Track to Australia Via the Cape. That all expeditions whether arctic or otherwise, place food depots within reach in case of need is of course well known, but few people are aware that there are certain rarely visited islands and desolate coasts where depots of provisions and necessities have been placed for the use of shipwrecked crews. The most extensive supplies of this sort are those existing on some of the lonely islands in the South Indian ocean. South of the liner track to Australia via the Cape ile Crozet and Kerguelen islands. In the jubilee year of Queen Victoria a French warship placed in a hut on one of the Crozets a good stock of food and necessities, including two spears and two hatchets. It is highly probably, says Pearson's Weekly, that the bulk, if not all of these stores, are still there, for the warship in question found the provisions left by a British warship eight years before absolutely intact. The handbooks furnished to all British shipmasters indicate exactly the whereabouts of these cached stores. A seal hunter, who sought to find the depot on Kerguelen island, wrote: "It was as easy as if we had a sigmpost." "The Kerguelen depot was fitted out by the French ship Eure which in 1893 left "2,250 pounds of preserved beef in boxes of 9 pounds, 1,125 pounds of biscuits, 20 swanskin shirts, 20 pairs of woolen drawers, 20 woolen blankets and packets of matches." Furthermore great trouble was taken to protect the stores from the weather. The beef boxes were coated with tar, as were the iron hooped barrels containing the biscuits and clothes and the matches were in boxes painted over with red lead. Fourteen years afterward Captain du Baty, who spent many months sealing on the island, examined the depot. Even though the goods had been buried beneath a cairn of stones the casks had rotted away and the clothing fell to pieces when opened out. The biscuits had been turned to sour pulp and long green strands of moss were growing on the barrels. The tinned beef was perfectly good and was agreeable to the taste. He failed to find the matches, but left some of his own, together with needles and twine. On Amsterdam island, further north, the Board of Trade handbook notifies the fact that the French supplies are in a cavern where also have been left a cooking-pot, cots and dry wood. On this island the stranded Crusoe will find, too, abundance of wild cabbage and celery growing, and lobsters and fish are plentiful. On the west coast of Tasmania there are some very lonely districts. At Rocky Point shipwrecked mariners may find relief stores, and in order to aid them to regain civilization, tracks have been made for their benefit, with "iron index fingers every quarter mile pointing in the direction to the relief station." And on a river where fording is necessary a raft has been left in readiness. Similar provisions exist on some of the outlying islands of New Zealand and these are visited by a government steamer once or twice a year in castaways are needing rescue. In Vancouver shelter sheds are erected on some lonely shores and thence a shipwrecked sailor can ring up a central station on the telephone. Refugees in Tierra del Fuego learn from the same source about quoting that "they can trust the Yaghans to conduct them to mission settlements," but the "Alacalufs are aggressive and treacherous, though, however great their number, they will not attack a combination of three or four persons, especially if they are aware that these persons possess firearms or implements resembling them." Tan an Evidence of Health. The tanned face is an indication of health. If one has failed to acquire this brown after having spent his vacation in the open air, exposed to the sun and wind, then there is something wrong with the health. The dark pigmentation in the skin is the result of the sun burning the hemoglobin, or red blood stuff, out of the tissue units and depositing them in the upper layers of the skin. The depth of brown that may be acquired is the measure of one's vitality, and a failure to acquire a good color is proof that one should look to his health. During the present summer vacation season, just keep this in mind, and note what the index tells regarding your physical condition. Craze for Boxing. It is curious to see how fashionable boxing is becoming in Europe. In this country it is still under a cloud, and the narrow gulf between boxing and prizefighting does not avail. Just what the difference is nobody has been able to make very clear, but it is at least a useful distinction that boxing is in fashion and prizefighting is not. France has become infatuated with "le boxe," while in England a correspondent of the Times rejoices that "boxing is once more a national game in the land of its origin;" and discusses weightly whether women should attend boxing matches. WOMAN WEAK AND NERVOUS Finds Health in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Creston, Iowa.—"I suffered with female troubles from the time I came into womanhood until I had taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I would have pains if I overworked or lifted anything heavy, and I would be so weak and nervous and in so much misery that I would be prostrated.

ROCK COULDN'T FEAZE HIM Big Stone Bounded Off Irishman, but Killed Polander, Who "Couldn't Stand Much." Representative Michael E. Conry of New York used to be employed in the coal mines of Pennsylvania. One morning as he was going to work he met another Irishman all fixed up in his Sunday clothes. "What's wrong?" asked Conry. "Nothin' wrong," answered the other laborer. "Nothin's happened. A man's got to show some respect for the dead." "What dead?" "Oh, that Polander I worked with died yesterday." "What did he die of?" "A rock fell and hit him." "You don't say! How big a rock was it?" "Oh, three or four tons, maybe. Them Polanders can't stand much. I purty near got hurt myself yesterday." "How was that?" "The rock that killed the Polander hit me first, but luckily it bounced off." —St. Joseph News-Press. At Newport "So your daughter is down and out?" "Yes; she took the count."—Chicago Journal.

MUST GET THRILLS What the Staging of a Good Photoplay Really Means. Actors Risk Their Lives to Secure the "Effects" Demanded—Not Infrequently it Is Absolutely Their Last Appearance. Plunging overboard from a burning yacht which has been soaked with turpentine and charged with dynamite; struggling on life rafts in a rough sea, racing an automobile over the edge of a dock—diving with it and taking a chance on getting out—such things put realism into the movies, give thousands their anticipated thrills and sometimes constitute the actor's last appearance, a writer in Popular Mechanics says. For often just as real as the actual destruction of a ship is the fight for life portrayed before the lens. The staging of a photoplay which included the burning and sinking of a small craft and the battle of those aboard it to save themselves, recently was undertaken by a producer. Without flames, explosions and the loss of the vessel, the picture would lack realism. Unless men fought for their lives while the fire ate its way to the dynamite which would break the boat amidship, reality again would be sacrificed. When the picture was run on the screen it lacked none of these qualities. Large quantities of turpentine saturated the ship after it had been stripped of its interior fitting. Explosives were placed aboard. It then had to be fired, while those who did the work took a chance. As flame and smoke shot mast high, the men jumped into the sea, were picked up by boats, and carried a safe distance away before the terrific blast tore the craft apart and sent it to the bottom. HAS WON HER HONORS EARLY Ethel Clayton, at Twenty-One, One of the Prime Favorites With Admirers of the Photoplays. Ethel Clayton is one of the best-known Eastern leading ladies. She piles her glorious Billy Burke type of hair high on her head and, in regal dinner gown and evening wrap, sweeps from her mansion to her carriage. Or may be she isn't supposed to have seen a dinn er gown, in which case she puts her lovely hair into a pathetic knot at the back of her head, a cold-looking shawl about her gingham shoulders and goes forth to the cor- Ethel Clayton. ner grocery store for five cents' worth of something to eat for the whole family. All of this, of course, is in the pictures. Ethel Clayton was born in Champaign, ill., grew up in the backwoods of Missouri, was later sent to a convent school in Chicago, and from there stepped into a dramatic career. At eighteen she headed a stock company in Minneapolis, and now, at twenty-one, is credited with many stage and film honors and the ability to run her own car. Films Race of African Dwarfs James Barnes, naturalist and moving picture hunter with camera rather than gun, who has been camera-exploring in Africa, got back recently with 21,000 feet of film. Mr. Barnes and his party traveled about 5,000 miles, traversing Africa from West to East. Leaving the jungle at the Congo, they went over the old trail of Stanley and Livingston, meeting old chief Lobo, one of the Stanley guides. With the camera they caught groups of the Pigmy tribes of Du Challu in "the country of the dwarfs." They found them a chy lot, and it took several weeks for Mr. Barnes to get well enough acquainted with them to induce them to pose for the moving pictures. Later some of the little fellows became guides to the expedition. Bibitcal Films Barred. Prussia's highest court has ruled that no biblical films can be shown in the country. The Berlin police president had prohibited the production of a film which gave some scenes from the life and sufferings of Christ. The court sustained the action of the police on the ground that the Christian religion is a part of the public order which the police are bound to uphold. The court also held that such a film grossly wounds the sensibilities of religious people, particularly in view of the fact that it is given along with light and humorous productions. Studio Reproduced In the forthcoming production, entitled "The City Beautiful," a comedy drama, a stage scene in an motion picture studio is reproduced. The scene depicts a green country boy who strays into a studio and walks on the stage in the midst of great activity. Players, property men, carpenters, etc., are seen engaged in their various vocations. The entire staff of two moving picture studios participated in this scene. LURED BY THE PHOTOPLAYS Leo Delaney Has Right to Practice at the Bar, But Prefers the Life of the Stage. There are few, even among the ranks of film men, who know that Leo Delaney is fully entitled to practice as a lawyer before the New York bar. After completing his course at Manhattan college, he took up law at New York University Law school. But he was too good as an amateur actor for his safety, and the "booey managers" got him. His long stage career includes six years with the Kirk Lau Shelle company and frequent ap- Leo Delaney. pearances in New York with prominent stars. Then, six years ago, the motion picture, just beginning to reach out for recognized stage players, captured Leo Delaney. Equally at home in light comedy and dramatic roles, by virtue of his long training in the hard and painstaking school of actual stage work, it was not long before he was in filmdom's select society and recognized as one of the players with a following. If any proof of the strength of his popularity were needed the quickness with which he was invariably recognized by the fans at the recent New York exposition and the writer's cramp he developed on several occasions from signing autographs are all-sufficient. In a Hurry to Get Back There's a story current in New York about Ed Coxen and his incurable love of the far West. The last time he was in New York, trying his luck at the theatrical offices, he stayed at a Broadway hotel, where he became friendly with several young men in the legitimate, also looking for jobs. They used to meet in the hotel lobby at night and exchange the adventures of the day. Coxen never failed to pour out a flood of bitter reproaches against the sordid, iniquitous, altogether intolerable great city of the East. One evening, as one of the other actors relates the incident, Coxen began as usual on his homesick tirade, when, suddenly he stopped. Boarding the elevator, he shot up without a word. In less than fifteen minutes he was back suitcase in hand. "Good-by, boys, and good luck to you!" he cried. "I'm taking the Transcontinental express tonight to California:" It's that same impetuousness that carries him along splendidly in film pictures. Hawaii In the Movies Another nook of the world has been unnooked and is in the process of being made familiar to every film fan the earth over. Hawaii is the populas nook which has been scooped up most thoroughly and extensively by Henry McRae and his company, just recently returned from several weeks spent on the islands. Among some of the pictures made there are "The Island of Abandoned Hope," "Cast Adrift in the South Seas," "Lehula of the South Seas," and "Tribal War in the South Seas," picturing lively stories with the additional virtues of geographically correct backgrounds and much incidental information in regard to the manners, customs and beliefs of the Hawaiians. German Inventor's Claims For the moment the most important news of the motion picture field seems too good to be true, and it is given here rather as a rumor than a definite fact. A German inventor professes to have accomplished the synchronization of the film and the talking machine, so that he can produce a play with the spoken words, or even an opera with that degree of realism which has been the hope of specialists here and in Europe for at least six years. Partly successful experiments along these lines will be recalled, but perfection has seemed unattainable. Margaret Gibson Wine Prize. Before a crowd of $50,000, and in a mile-long parade of automobiles passing before five judges, pretty Margaret Gibson won first place in the annual Bathing Girls' Automobile parade held at Ocean Park, Cal. In capturing first prize, Miss Gibson received a check for $50, and in addition, a shining gold and silver loving cup. Do It On the Spot. A motion picture machine that may be packed away in a traveling man's kit has been invented, and it will hereafter be possible for the salesman to exhibit his wares anywhere. He to fore managers have had to go to a studio or to some theater to see films demonstrated. Leah Baird Changee Plane Leah Baird, who appeared for some time in the motion pictures, has rejoined the studio where she made her debut as a screen player. Miss Baird has already taken part in a photoplay with her new company which will be presented in the near future. Staging Famous Production.

At an English provincial theater not long since the curtain rose on an empty stage in the second act of a play, and by and by a meek-looking young man with a dust-coat slung over his arm came on and loudly called, "Uncle—uncle!" According to the book of the play he should have received no answer to his call, and after an appropriate pause should have gone on with a monologue. But a graceless "god" in the gallery took upon himself to answer the actor. "All right, I'm coming in a moment. How much do you want on it?" he shouted. The effect on the audience may be imagined. Some Weather. College boys who put money in their purses by toll in Kansas wheat fields will not be discouraged by this story: "I think I smell burning meat," said the farmer, as he paused for a moment in the harvest field to mop his brow. "You do," said the raw harvest hand, wearily, as he stooped to get a couple more sheaves of golden grain. "The burning meat you smell is my liver frying. It is overdone." And with that the young fellow spat on a grass-hopper and scalded it to death.—Atlanta Constitution. Curse Old Sores, Other Remedies Won't Cure.

Death If You're le fluttering or HUBBY GOT THE GOODS, BUT— It Was the First Flush of the Honeymoon, and He Says "Never Again!" "Never again," was the conclusion of a story told by a young bridegroom of the month, after he related his efforts to please his bride by fulfilling her every wish. Sitting in his office a few days after the wedding he received a telephone call which was something like this: "Dearle, I do so hate to trouble you, but I have run out of lace for that dress I was making, and I can't finish it until I have another yard. Can't you stop at the store and get some as you come home—Oh, I can tell you what it is like—just four leaves, then a sprig, then four leaves, then a sprig, and so on—it's just two threads over an inch wide." He hung up the receiver and mopped his brow. He walked by the store twice, finally entered and approached the lace counter. She was pretty, but he had been married only a week and was busy repeating in his mind: "Four leaves, then a sprig." "Well, after looking at 500 samples of lace, I got it, but—"—Indianapolis News. No Aire About Her. "Alrs!" exclaimed the proud mother, and shook her head vigorously. "My Elsie, for all her learning, hasn't any more alrs, so to speak, than her poor old dad." "Then she won't turn up her nose at her old friends?" queried the visitor. "La, no!" "How refreshing! Most girls who go through college nowadays will hardly look at you after they're graduated." "Well, they ain't like my Elsie, that's all I can say," retorted Elsie's ma. "She's become a carnivorous reader, of course, and she frequently importunes music. But stuck up—my Elsie? Not a bit. She's unanimous to everybody has a most infantile vocabulary, and what's more, never keeps a caller waiting while she dresses up. No, she just runs down, nom de plume, as she is." Perfectly Natural. As Herbert Cory tells it, he went to a dinner once where Andrew Carnegie was a guest. "After the eating was over and the speechmaking had started," sald Corey, "Mr. Carnegie reached in his pocket for something and pulled out a handful of small change. A dime got away from him and fell on the floor, and at the first chance Mr. Carnegie got down under the table and looked for it." "Did he find it?" asked one of the audience to whom Corey was narrating the incident. "Did he find it?" echoed Corey. "He found 15 cents!"—Saturday Evening Post. Of a Mixed Breed. "Have you any turkey hash?" "No." "Chicken hash?" "No." "Corn beef hash?" "No." "Roast beef hash?" "No." "No hash at all?" "Oh, yes! We've got plenty of hash, but it ain't thoroughbred!"—Puck.

REVELATION WAS TOO MUCH Picture of "Hollering Jones" at Favorite Diversion Caused Him to Reform. A well-known illustrator, who makes interesting western pictures, once made the acquaintance of a noisy but good-natured cowboy who rejoiced in the appellation of "Hollering Jones." In physical appearance this man was typical of his kind, and the artist made several studies of him, both in repose and in his favorite diversion of "hollering." Some of the studies were sold by the artist to an eastern magazine. They showed Jones in his most violent state. A year later the artist again visited the region. He was soon approached by Mr. Jones himself, bearing one of the pictures, which he had torn from the magazine in which its was printed. Pointing to it, he asked: "Is that me?" "Well," replied the artist, evasively, "I got the general idea from you, of courge, but—" "Oh, I ain't takin' no offense," Jones made haste to say. "It's all right; only if it's me, say so." "If you put it to me that way," said the artist, "I can only reply that it is a fairly good portrait of you." "The men here on the ranch agree with you. So I look like that when I holler, do I?" "I think you do." "In that case," said Hollering Jones, "all I've got to say is that Hollering Jones has hollered his last holler. Hereafter, when I celebrates, I does so with a tin horn. In my own opinion, no man has a right to look like that—not round folks, anyhow." —Youth's Companion Rather Effeminate. Congressman Peter J. Dooling of New York smiled the other evening when reference at a dinner was made to effeminate ways. He said he was reminded of the explanation of Smith. Some time ago the Smiths attended a reception where they met a man named Brown. On the way home, while exchanging opinions of the guests, Brown was mentioned. "Speaking of that man Brown," vigorously remarked Smith, "he certainly has an effeminate way of talking." "Why, John," was the wondering rejoinder of Mrs. Smith, "how can you say that? He certainly has a very loud and masculine voice!" "Yes, I know he has," explained Smith, "but what I mean is that he talks all the time."—Philadelphia Telegraph. Woman Deserved Sharp Retort A white Pomeranian escaped from the arms of its mistress in Surf avenue, Coney island, the other night and ran in front of an automobile.

"You impudent little scamp!" said the woman. "What made you get the dear little dog so dirty. You ought to be whipped." "I am mighty glad I didn't save your life," replied the boy, and a score of onlookers applauded him. Not Large. Maude-Fried seems to be wander ing in his mind. Betty-Then he can't stray far.
