Be it therefore resolved that we solicit and invite all of the regular Missionary Baptist churches throut the State of Illinois to unite with us in spreading and preaching the gospel. Be it also resolved that we the Missionary Baptist unite ourselves together in the condemnation of open communion, allien immersion, Church federation, and Free-will ordination, as being unscriptural, realizing the fact that Baptist are Baptist no matter whether they are North, East, West or South, Distinct and separate from all other denominations.

Olive Baptist Association, Metropolis, Sept. 11, 1914. Text, Ezra 7:10; Subj. Preparation of Heart. "Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord, and to do it and to teach in Israel statutes and Judgements." Ezra to My dear brother, the long and intimate friendship which has subsisted between us will, I hope render any apologge unnecessary for my occupying this situation upon this solemn occasion. I should certainly have felt a pleasure in hearing some senior minister, but with your desire, on the ground of intimate friendship, I feel disposed to comply. I feel peculiar in addressing you; for I can speak of you as a friend and brother, an equal, an acquaintance with whom I have often taken sweet counsel, and walked to the God. You will not I am sure misinterpret my freedom, or suppose that I wish to assume my superiority over you, or to dictate to you. You expect me to insist upon the importance of the work in which you are engaged; and for this purpose I have directee my attention to the passage I have read, and recommend to you the example of Ezra. Example has a strong tendency to excite us to emulation; and in Ezra the scribe you have the character of an eminent servant of the most high God held up to your admiration and imitation. Ministers in the new testamen are called "scribes, instructed unto the kingdom of heaven," and in Ezra you have the character of a "ready scribe." There are four things in his character upon which I shall discourse, and which I would recommend to you I need not inform you, my brother that the law in the old testament especially, is commonly to be understood as synonymous with the scriptures, the word, on the revealed will of God. The scriptures were then as commonly called the law of the Lord, as they are now called the word of God, so the term is to be understood here to seek the law of the Lork, is the same as to ascertain his mind and will in his sacred word. You are to feed my people with knowledge and understanding yourself, your lips are to keep knowledge, and the people are to seek the law at your mouth, but in order to communicate it to them, you must seek it at the mouth of God. Seek it at the fountain head, you feel, I doubt not, a great esteem for many of your brethren now living and admire the writings of same who are now no more; and you will read their productions with attention and pleasure. But whatever excellence your brethren possesses, it is all borrowed, and it is mingled with error. Learn your religion from the bible. Let that be your decisive rule. Adopt not a lady of sentiments, or even a single sentiment solely on the authority of any man however great however respected Dare to think for yourself. Human compositions are fallible. But the scriptures were written by men who wrote as they were inspired by the holy spirit. Human writings on religion resemble preaching, they are useful only so far as they illustrate the scriptures, and induce us to search them for ourselves. Prepare your hearts to seek the law of the Lord. There is a preparation of heart, in which we are wholly passive, which is, in the strictest sense, the work of God; and without this, woe be to any of us that should dare to set up for teachers of his law and gospel. But there is also a preparation of heart in which we are active; and this the preparedness intended in the text. In this even, God is the cause he actuates but then we act. Of this preparation we have to speak, and it consists in prayer, self-examination and meditation. Your work is a course and for this you must prepare by "girding up the lions of your mind" a fight and you must put on the whole armour of God. The work of God should not be entered upon rashly, God frequently brings his servants through a train of instructions and trials, that they may be fitted for it. Moses was forty years at court and forty years a shepard. These were his days of preparation, Christ prepared his desciples, by his instructions during his life, and previous to their great work they prepared themselves, (act. 1.) such preparation of heart is not only necessary for your entrance into the pastoral office but also for your continuance in it, you find that every exercise requires it. You do not need being guarded against that erroneous notion of so trusting to the spirit as to neglect personal preparation for your public labours. But this preparedness is not only requisite for speaking the truth in public, but as well for seeking it in private. Let all your private meditations be mingled with prayer. You will study your bible to wonderful advantage, if you go to it spiritually-minded. It is this which causes us to see the beauty and to feel the force of many parts of scriptures, to which in a carnal state of mind, we are blind and stupid. If we go to the study of the study of the bible wise in our own conceits, and self-sufficient we shall get no good. When we would be taught from Gods word, we must learn as little children. Again if we go to the bible merely, or chiefly to find something to say to the people, without respect to our own souls, we shall make but poor progress. My brother study divine truth, as a christian, and not merely as a minister consider your own soul as deeply intered; and dread the thought of cultivating others, while you suffer your own heart to remain uncultivated. If you study divine truth as a christian, your being constantly engaged in the study will promote your growth in grace; you will be like Give scriptural proof of what you teach. Do not imagine that mere assertion will do. Evidence ought to form the body of your discourses. Such expressions as "I say," uttered in the most magisterial tone will after all prove nothing except the unwarrantable confidence of the preacher. Teach privately at well as publicly. Make your visits among your people subservient to instruction and edification. Take the example Paul Acts. 20. Let a saviour of Christ accompany you in your public usefulness. In conclusion my brother, seek it with a prepared heart, reduce it to practice and teach it diligently; and you will be, not only like Ezra, a "ready scribe" but a well instructed scribe in the Kingdom of God.

ON THE FUNNY SIDE TRADE SECRETS. "Why did you take out the mirrors you had around your soda fountain?" "They hurt the business. Whenever a woman saw how she looked inhaling a drink through a straw she'd never come back to do it again." Speaking of Suffragettes. A lady of great beauty and attractiveness, who was an ardent admirer of Ireland, once crowned her praise of it at a party by saying: "I think I was meant for an Irishwoman." "Madam," rejoined a witty son of Erin, who happened to be present, "thousands would back me in saying that you were meant for an Irishman." Explained. "I hear that you have a college graduate for a cook. Isn't that rather expensive?" "Not very. She works for her board and clothes." "Why, how does she come to do that?" "She's my wife."—Rehoboth Sunday Herald. A Stay-at-Home. "Of course, I'd like to vote," said Mrs. McGudley. "But I dunno's I'd ever get a chance to exercise my right to vote even if I had it." "Couldn't you go to the polls and cast your ballot, like anybody else?" "No. If everybody voted all the help in the house would be sure to want the day off every time there was an election." Fatal Disease A young painter who had just finished a picture insisted upon a friend calling to see it. "There, now," enthused the artist, "you see my new picture. What's the matter with that?" "I don't know," replied the bored friend, "but I should say it was a case of art failure."—National Monthly. Saving Labor. "The automobile is a great boon to the poor, overworked horse," said the sympathetic woman. "Yes," replied Mr. Chuggins; "but while it is making life easy for the horse, it has three or four human beings busy day and night keeping the machine in repair." Nothing Softens Him "Tompkins seems to have an incurable grouch." "I agree with you. I've known him to eat a meal that would delight an epicure, toss off a glass of cordial, light a 25-cent cigar and start right in knocking humanity." Not a Rash Promise "Do you think you will be able to provide for my daughter's wants and necessities?" asked the proud parent. "I don't know about her wants," answered the prudent young man, "but I will be able to provide for her necessities." Philosophers and Optimists. "What is the difference between a philosopher and an optimist?" "Well, a philosopher takes things as they come, while an optimist, if they come with the dark side uppermost, turns them over." His Record "We want plenty of energy in our business. Has this fellow you're recommending any go in him?" "Any go! There isn't a speed law in ten adjacent states that he hasn't fractured." More to the Point Anxious Chum—I assure you, my dear sir, my young friend will make your daughter a handsome husband. Stern Parent—Yes, but will he make her a handsome living? CALLS THE SOPHOMORE DOWN When Student Acquires Little Learning He Will Know Why It is Dangerous, Says Mazle. "The varsity graduate has a good deal of conceit. He is nothing, though, beside the undergraduate—the junior or sophomore." The speaker was Chomley Porter, the brilliant varsity oarsman of Ithaca. He resumed: "On a white beach there lolled beside a pretty girl a sunburst, bare-headed sophomore in one of those queer $18 suits that the advertisements call 'ready-built,' or 'ready-to-put-on,' or 'ready-tallored'—anything, in short, 'ready-made.' "The sophomore blew a cloud of nasty-smelling smoke from his cheap cigarette, yawned and said: "Mazle, why do they say a little learning is a dangerous thing." "Mazie touched impatiently with her brown finger a long 'ladder' that had appeared on the ankle of her brand new pair of 39-cent silk stockings, just put on for the first time that morning. "What did you say, Gus?" she murmured absently. "Why, it is claimed," the sophomore repeated, 'that a little learning is a dangerous thing." "Mazie's calm, clear eyes look at him thoughtfully." "Well, Gus," she said, "if you ever get any you'll know."—Minneapolis Journal. Had the Usual Success. "What! Back from the country so soon? I thought you went up to that little place where you could get board for $6 and $7 a week so that you could save money." "I did." "Had it all figured out that the longer you could keep your family there the better off you would be." "That's right." "And yet you're back." "Yes, I'm back, and say!" "Well?" "You couldn't loan me fifty, could you?" Intellectual Ingratitude. "You really have more money than you know what to do with!" "Yes," replied Mr. Dustin Stax. "Why don't you endow some libraries or universities?" "I have thought of it. But how do I know the libraries wouldn't circulate books about the evils of concentrated wealth or that the universities wouldn't deliver lectures on the dangers of financial aristocracy?" Professional Rivalry "I understand that beef is going to be dearer next winter than ever before." "Yes," replied the Chicago packer. "What's the idea?" "We're going to take some of the pride out of those eastern coal barons who thought they had the world beat as price boosters." SHOP TALK. "Say," remarked the wheelwright to the wheel, as he hammered, away at the tire, "you're a great old rounder, aren't you?" "Oh! go take a vacation," rejoined the wheel. "You make me tired." Proportionate Greed "This seems to be a rather ornate hotel." "Yes. I shall not stay here long." "Why not?" "I've learned that the more gilt there is in the lobby, the more rapacious the waiters are in the dining room." A Secondary Consideration. First Senator—I am opposed to the measure. Second Senator—Why? F. S.—If I vote for it, I'll be defeated in the next election. And, besides, I'm not sure but that the measure is wrong. A Profitable Course "I understand that when this capitalist was a little boy he made his first money by selling lemonade with a great deal of water in it." "Well, he's been consistent. He got rich by selling stock with a great deal of water in it." Shouldn't Kick. "Our water pipe got choked up and the confounded plumber charged me $20 for fixing it. It's an impassion!" "Well, you can't say you didn't get a run for your money." Giving Details. Maud—KMy married a man a good deal older than, she, so I hear. Marie—Older. Why, he's twice her real age and threetimes the age she says she is. METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS. ILL. FIGURES IN MOVIES FIGURES IN MOVIES Two-Headed Trout a Feature of the Films. Bill, the famous two-headed trout of the Yama farms hatchery at Naponock, N. Y., has become so pleased with himself that his twin heads threaten to swell up to the bursting point. The reason is that Bill had his picture taken for the "movies" and will appear in an educational series to be shown in New York. Bills is seven months old, a husky, beautifully marked specimen of brook trout. He is perfectly formed, according to experts, but just forward of the dorsal fin he displays a tendency to lead a double life. His heads are as separate and distinct as if there were two Bills instead of one. Dr. William D. Hornaday, curator of the New York Zoological park, examined Bill with interest a short time ago and pronounced his case unusual. John Burroughs, the naturalist, has also admired Bill. Mr. Burroughs says that malformation in fish is not unusual, but it is very rare to find a specimen that survives for any length of time. When Bill was very young his twin heads had some trouble in agreeing. When one would wish to feed the other insisted on swimming about, and vice versa. But lately they seem to have formed an alliance, and now United Trout, Inc., gets along finely. In common with the other trout in the hatchery, Bill was fed finely strained liver until he was two months old. Since then he has subsisted upon chopped beef. The moving picture camera man took Bill in all stages of his daily routine. Snake Admired "Movie" Star Snake Admired "Movie" Star. Something is always "happening to Mary." The latest thrill to be added to this girl's life is a battle with a snake, in which said snake met his Waterloo. Mary Fuller, with her director, Walter Edwin, and a company of some 35 players, is at present up in Blue Ridge mountains, Shohola, Pike county, Pa., putting on a three-reel feature. "The Heart of the Night Winds." The hotel people affirmed there hadn't been a snake seen in the "crick," which comes down from the big falls at Shohola, for 20 years. But when Mary pulled off her white stockings and little black shoes and began to "sozle" her pink toes around in the water, a big water moccasin lifted its head from the moss across the stream, and admiring beauty from afar, slipped into the water and swam quickly over to pay his respects to "our movie heroine." No, Mary didn't shriek or run, but grasped a hickory stick" and waited. "I'll spank you, naughty snake," she warned. But with blood in his eye the snake darted at her leg. After a series of terrific "whacks," the big mottled black lay still and Mary was safe to go wading. ANNA LUTHER A. Anna Luther is another picture player who recently showed her skill in the latest steps. Miss Luther took the cup offered by the Hotel Rudolf, Atlantic City, and, emboldened by her success, is now entered in the Hotel Shelbourne contest. The prize is to be a Paige runabout. Surprise for Film Star Rose Tapley was given a birthday surprise party at her home in East Orange, N. J., when 30 of her friends and neighbors invaded her home, decorated it from cellar to garret in yellow and green, and gave the popular player one of the most enjoyable occasions imaginable. Miss Tapley was the recipient of many presents, including a handsome Vietrola, a complete set of Shakespeare's works, numerous books, and many other valuable and useful gifts. Temporarily With Andrew Mack. William Conklin, who for the past six months has been playing important roles in an eastern company's productions, by permission of that company was allowed to go to Philadelphia for the company, now filming "The Ragged Earl," with Andrew Mack in the leading role. Mr. Conklin informs us that the jolly Andrew is a fine horseback rider, a fact which will probably surprise many of his friends. MOST REMARKABLE OF CITIES Small California Metropolis Used Only As Medium of the Photoplay, Productions. America, the home of the moving-picture industry, possesses a city that it always on the move. It is known as Universal City, and is situated in far-away California. It is one of the most remarkable cities of modern times. It has streets and houses and institutions, a mayor and corporation, and the usual civic equipment, but it is razed and reconstructed maybe a hundred times in a year, assuming a different form at each removal. It is "ancient and modern," at one and the same time. Elizabethan houses face a Norman stronghold, the wigwams of a tribe of marauding Indians stand in front of a typically English country home, and a Roman forum vies with a frowning commercial factory. "Universal City," writes William E. Pittuck in the Millgate Monthly, "covers an area of over 600 acres and houses a community of over 1,000, all of whom, from the oldest to the youngest, find their livelihood depend on this moving-picture production. A single house, or a series of houses, may be erected for pictures one day and be dismantled the next, so that a small army of builders and carpenters are always sedulously engaged; while for the various costumes and uniforms a contingent of 80 seamstresses are kept busily employed, despite the fact that the general wardrobe of the city contains over 9,000 varied types of wearing apparel." THOMAS SANTSCHI © SELIG POLYSCOPE CO. Director Thomas Santschi is putting on a picture at the Selig Western studio which involves the burning of a ship at sea. Made the Actors Work. "Under Arizona Skies" is the title of a frontier drama just finished by Director Willis L. Robards. One of the requirements in the story is the burning of a shack by Indians. This was successfully done, but the neighboring vegetation took fire and the entire company—director, actors, and all—was forced to take a hand in fighting what might have resulted in a very serious forest fire. It was two hours before the flames were finally subdued and the work had been so strenuous that several of the actors fainted. Will Show Arizona Scenes. Webster Cullison is getting along so well with the officials at Tucson, Ark., where his company's western studio is located, that he has entered into an agreement to film the numerous points of interest in and about the picturesque town. Among the pictures will be views of the historic, San Xavier mission, and the reclamation project of the Tucson Farms company. Has Her Own "Ahlmal Farm:" Helen Holmes; the lead who plays opposite J. P. McGowan at Glendale, is going to add to her own "animal farm" in the large grounds of her home. The carpenters are busy making a series of cages to hold her pets, and a special home is being constructed for "Stripes," a big side winder snake presented to her by an old prospector from Beath valley. Popular Novel Scenarized. Harold MacGrath's novel, "The Man on the Box," has been scenicized and, as shown at the Strand theater, New York, was a great success. The story, you remember, is built on the old but favorite plot of a hero disgulsing himself as a mental in order to be near his lady love. Max Figman and Lolita Robertson play the leading roles. Gaby Deslys On Screen. Provided the war does not interfere, the motion picture art will soon be enriched by the screen appearance of Gaby Deelys. The international star started work two weeks ago in London on a production. The picture is an original conception, entitled "The Triumph." Movie Showed Him Misfortune A farmer living near Brentwood. England, went to a moving picture show in that town during a visit and learned by a picture shown on the screen that a fire had in his absence destroyed the stables and sheds at his farm. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Charles S. Osborne of Boston, a colored porter employed by the Oakland Motor Car company, has just finished a portrait of Cardinal O'Connell, which in many ways proves the ability of the artist. The picture and the wood carving in the frame that encloses it, and the pedestal on which it stands, required eight weeks to finish. The accomplishment is the more striking in that Mr. Osborne can devote only part of his spare time, about two hours a day when there is daylight, to the practicing of his favorite recreation and prospective life work. When his duties as porter are over at five o'clock in the afternoon he hastens to his little room, which is a studio as well, and while the light is good paints or does charcoal drawing. Cardinal O'Connell's portrait, which is done in oil, was painted from a recent photograph by a well known Boston photographer, and is 20 27 inches. The carved and painted frame is about four feet high and is an excellent representation of the old Florentine art, as is the hand carved pedestal on which it rests. In the center of the woodwork above the picture is a miniature reproduction of the "Nativity," and on either side in the carved replica of Florentine cathedral windows is an angel, one holding a harp and the other a bugle. On the base of the frame is carved a wreath of red roses, harmonizing with the cardinal's cape. The work of Mr. Osborne is a triumph over difficulties, for practically all of the carving was done with a lackknife. Mr. Osborne was born in Savannah, Ga., in 1870, and spent the first 20 years of his life in the South. He worked with carpenters and learned panelling and moulding, but all the while he fostered a strong desire to become a painter. He used to draw in the sand with pointed sticks and occasionally procured a little crayon. Feeling that there was larger opportunity In the North, he came to Boston in 1891, and while working as a porter went to the evening school of the Boston Art club. There he received instruction in charcoal drawing from Ernest Major. Later he studied water colors under Miss Agnes Leavitt, an artist in Copley square. For several years after that he kept up his artistic endeavors alone, money not being very plentiful. He disposed of quite a number of paintings in this period, and with the proceeds he was able to go to the drawing school of Eric Pape in 1911, studying there three years. Much of his spare time has been spent in visiting art exhibitions and in the art department of the Boston city library. Mr. Osborne has sold a number of outdoor sketches and portraits done from life. He considers his best work to be the "Oriental Dancing Girl" from life, a picture which took him six months to complete and which is now on exhibition at the Boston City club. After a rest of two weeks he intends to begin a work called "Star of Bethlehem," which he hopes to have on exhibition by Christmas. Adulterated olive oil is hard to detect, even by the expert tasters. They allege, however, that they can tell the spurious article by flavor and effect on the throat.

Every man has an excuse for wanting the earth, but his excuse is never satisfactory to his neighbors. Dairen, China, has 21 public primary schools with nearly 6,000 pupils, and 289 private schools with 7,000 pupils. The highest inland building is the new Chamber of Commerce at St. Louis, Mo. The height above the street level is 495 feet. Mines and quarreys in Bavaria, Germany, employ 15,000 men. There is a lighthouse every 14 miles along the English coast. When the authorities of the Calhoun school decided to add a story to the Armstrong-Slater Memorial Trade school, the student tradesmen attacked with enthusiasm the laborious task of raising the heavy roof and putting on the second story. Then came the tedious days devoted to finishing the interior work. There was always the joy of doing successfully tasks generally considered beyond the reach of tradesmen in the training. Again the call came to do some building which would require skill, patience, and endurance. It was the erection of a two-story brick building to be used as a social center for the boys. Contracts were awarded to the Trade Schools departments and student tradesmen did the construction work. Today the building stands completed. It is known as Clarke hall. It is used by the Young Men's Christian association. To appreciate the meaning of these three examples of construction work done by the Hampton tradesmen, one must see the completed structures and realize the building problems which the young negro and Indian tradesmen met and successfully solved. While construction work calls for ability to read working drawings and follow detailed specifications, the demands made by repair problems are in many instances even more taxing. To make a repair quickly, skillfully, and economically, requires unusual ability. Hampton institute is indeed an industrial village in which there is constant demand for men who can do good repair and construction work. Hampton aims to fit young men and women to do well and in an uncommon way the common tasks of life. Students are taught to handle their tasks like skilled workmen. They have for their work an excellent equipment and they are expected and required to take the best possible care of the school's property. They receive financial credit for their work and they are required to keep a strict account of all that they earn and spend during the years of their training at Hampton. Clerks in the stores and shops of all kinds in Mexico smoke while waiting on customers. The work for girls at Hampton leads to the important occupations of homemaking and teaching. When a girl enters Hampton institute she has the opportunity of receiving thorough training in domestic science. The girls work daily for 12 months in the laundry and in the boarding departments under the supervision of experienced teachers, and carry on their academic studies in the evening the same as the boys who are in the work class. The mental and moral training, which the year of combined work and study gives, makes it one of the most valuable years of the course. The working day for the girls is shorter than for the boys, but a girl may earn from $15 to $18 a month. This enables her to be entirely self-supporting during her first year in school, and to accumulate a balance toward defraying the expenses of the second year. A girl in the work class needs very little money besides her entrance fee and first month's board. This course is advised for all new girls regardless of their ability to pay their way in the day school. Beiglan state railways buy cloth from England for uniforms of employees.

It improves the digestion and sick patients gain very rapidly, just as I did in strength and weight. "I was in such a low state that I had to give up my work entirely, and went to the mountains of this state, but two months there did not improve me; in fact, I was not quite as well as when I left home. "My food did not sustain me and it became plain that I must change. Then I began to use Grape-Nuts food and two weeks I could walk a mile without fatigue, and in five weeks returned to my home and practice, taking up hard work again.

CODE FOR MANNERS Rules of Propriety Changed in Reign of Victoria. Betrothed Girls in 1810 Forced to Endure Embarrassing Jests, Says Writer—Sees Decline in Taste for Good Literature. What manners had the early Victorians beheld in their youth? asks Annie Winsor Allen, in the Atlanta Monthly. According to her, in 1810 a young woman in New York's best society refused to spend the winter in New York because, being lately betrothed, she must wear a large miniature of the young gentleman around her neck and endure coarse and embarrassing jokes whenever she appeared. General Washington may be seen, in the pencil sketches by John Trumbull, comfortably sitting in church with his arm around a young woman's waist, nor was she kith or kin to him. Read the familiar memoirs of the reign of George IV, infer carefully what the manners and conversation must then have been and ask yourself seriously how comfortable you would have felt in the midst of them. The early Victorians thought these manners unit for the presence of a young girl. They adjusted their demeanor to shield her. In consequence there arose from the court of Victoria an expectation of decorum, serene and assured, for every man or woman of sensitive fiber. A winnowing wind, with quiet, gleaning hand of selection and rejection, passed over all England and America, through every drawing room, across every printing press, gently up and down the thoroughfare. No one even smoked on the streets. Without outey or indignation the change was wrought, and decent people could go about unabashed. Of course, indecency and cruelty, barbarianism and selfishness did not suddenly die. They lived, and thought the change an awful bore. Delicacy, sympathy, civilization and generosity were the accepted standard, and those who by nature had them or longed to have them, found encouragement all about. So the early Victorians impressed propriety upon the rising generation of mid-Victorians. Do the surviving late Victorians, the present still young generation of grandparents, realize that around them moves and works a whole generation which does not know Emerson, never read Tennyson, has not heard of Mrs. Gaskell and despises George Elliot? Every book which inspired the mild-Victorians is "outgrown." it is "a back number" to post-Victorians. What have they read? They may have read Trollope, George Meredith and Thomas Hardy, those doubting late Victorians. Many of them have read nothing published before 1890, and practically none go back of 1870. This means that they have read critically what is expounded by Wells, Sha$\textcircled{1}$, Chesterton, Galsworthy and Massefeld, not to mention Robert W. Chambers. Now, such literature, coming into the reader's mind after what preceded it, frequently took its place as refreshing and novel. But suppose you have never read anything else, what has Meredith or Hardy to tell you about the conduct of your own affairs, what precious secrets of civilization do they transmit? How will Wells, Shaw and Galsworthy do for rulers of life? What laws do they expound? What inspirations do they offer? The Revival of Croquet. In eastern centers whose whims and inclinations make themselves felt throughout this land, croquet is coming back and we may look for it to bloom in our own yards presently. We welcome the prospect. It pressages, we sanguinely believe, reversal to a milder mode of life. Our momentum has been increasing season by season, what with the tango, suffrage, aeroplaning and the joy ride, until we are borne along at a pace threatening—it is declared—the fundamentals of our mental existence. Croquet will be an antidote to this. It is essentially a soothing diversion. Side-wishers, lemonade and Laura Jean Labbey are its natural accompaniments. It requires skill of a subdued sort and can be played by young ladies who are loath to shake loose their coiffures.-Detroit News. Large oil-bearing tracts have been located in the province of Shenxi, China, by the geologists of the Standard Oil company. The operations of the drilling gang were delayed because the military forces commanded all vehicles for transport purposes. Foreign groups interested in oil are now endeavoring to carmark areas in Honan, Kansu, Szechuan and Klangsi for operation on the expiry of the Standard Oil company's prospecting period. The British resent the secret examination of the province of Shenxi by the Standard Oil company's geologists, claiming that Great Britain has the sole right to operate in that province.

I asked our family doctor and he said, 'Yes, go right ahead and use them.' We got one cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment and they healed him from the first.

Death If You're le fluttering or TO TAKE ELABORATE CENSUS Statistics of the Prevalence and Possible Spread of Tuberculosis Will Be Ascertained. A tuberculosis census of thousands of churches in various parts of the country will be taken in September, under the direction of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. The census will be part of the preparation for the fifth annual Tuberculosis day, to be observed during the week of November 29. The ministers of several thousand churches will be asked to report on the number of deaths from tuberculosis in the last year, the number of living cases in their parishes on September 1, the number of deaths from all causes, and the number of members or communicants. These figures will be made the basis of an educational campaign, which will culminate in the Tuberculosis day movement, for which occasion sermons and lecture outlines and other forms of tuberculosis literature will be distributed free to ministers. Last year nearly 75,000 churches, schools and other bodies took part in the Tuberculosis day observance. The movement had the indorsement of leading church officials of every denomination. More than 1,200 antituberculosis societies, scattered all over the country, will work this year to make Tuberculosis day a success. PSYCHOLOGY OF THE KISS Learned English Authority Has Divided Osculation Into Two Distinct Types. In a learned disquisition on kisses Sir Ray Lankester divides them into two classes. "One class takes the form of nose-rubbing—each kiss gives rubbing his nose against that of the other. The second kind, which is that familiar to us, consists in pressing the lips against the lips, skin or hair of another individual and making a short, quick inspiration, resulting in a more or less audible sound. Both kinds are really of the nature of 'sniffling,' the active effort to smell or explore by the olfactory sense. The kissing of one another by grown-up men was abandoned in this country in the eighteenth century; but we have most of us witnessed it*abroad, and perhaps been unexpectedly subjected to the process, as I once was by an affectionate scientific colleague. The Russians are the most profuse and indiscriminate of European peoples in their kissing. I have seen a Russian about to go on a journey devoured by the kisses of his relations and household retainers, male and female." An Optimist. Ex-Police Commissioner Rhinelander Waldo, who established a policemen's public library that has been a great success, praled, at a luncheon in New York, New York's police system. "It has especially been good since Mayor Gaynor's day," Mr. Waldo said, and then, in response to an objection: "Oh, that's nothing. Be an optimist. Don't mind trifles. Look, like the henpecked husband, on the bright side of things. "By gosh,' a henpecked husband said, 'I hear some chaps kicking because their wives always have the last word. Now, for my part, to give my wife the last word never bothers me a bit. "It don't!" "No, on the contrary, I always feel thankful when she gets to it." The Psychology of It. Stuyvesant Ogden, a San Francisco millionaire, said in Washington the other day: "The present business depression—if, indeed, there be a business depression—is psychological. There is, I mean, no smallest excuse for it. It is born of the nightmare fears of men's minds. In a word, it reminds me of a music hall girl. "The stage manager of a music hall rushed to the proprietor the other night and said: "Turn 14 refuses to go on with her trained mice. She says she's been completely unnerved ever since that young student was eaten in Chicago." Cures Old Sores, Other Remedies Won't Cure.

The arrogance of the man who arises to the minor heroism of a cold bath has been complained of by less heroic folk who arise to a tepid or warm one. To be set apart by the ability to stand the shock of cold water has seemed to less vigorous folk an unsubstantial claim to immortality. It lacks moral sufficiency and is too much made of by the cold bathers. Another arrogance is given consideration by the Rev. Walter Dwight, S. J., in America. It is the arrogance of early risers. Father Dwight denies them heroism and enters into doubt as to their intelligence. As a rule he finds them a "notably arrogant set," appearing to believe that they move on a "higher ethical plane." Every normal human being, not given ordinarily to early rising, but being on occasion tempted or forced into it, has felt the strange spiritual affliction, the moral patting on the back in consequence thereof. The feeling that a good deed has been done for a naughty world is inexplicable, but supreme. Father Dwight is remorseless. The early riser is the least intelligent of mankind. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. announce "No war prices on Goodyear Tires." Mr. F. A. Sieberling, president of the Company, thus explains their unique position. "We advanced Goodyear prices, as others did theirs, when the rubber panic came. Almost in a day crude rubber rose in New York from 55 cents per pound to much over a dollar. "The New York supply was too small to consider. We cabled our London people to buy up the pick of the rubber there. By acting quickly and paying cash they obtained 1,500,000 pounds of the finest rubber. "That big supply of rubber is now nearly all on the way to the Goodyear factory in Akron. It constitutes the best of the London supply. "We are using the same grade of rubber and the same amount of it as we always have used in these tires. "We are running our factory with three shifts of men, twenty-four hours a day. So long as we remain in this fortunate position on rubber, we shall supply tire users at before-war prices to the limit of our capacity." Great Confederate Soldiers Great Confederate Soldiers. Gen. John C. Pemberton, who defended Vicksburg when that city was General Grant, was born in Philadelphia 100 years ago. He was a graduate of West Point and saw service in the Mexican war. At the beginning of the Civil war he cast his fortunes with the South. After service of a year or more in the East he was assigned to the command of the department of the Mississippi by President Jefferson Davis, with whom he was a great favorite. For nine months General Pemberton defended Vicksburg against the northern armies. The siege lasted till July 4, 1863, when, owing to a scarcity of ammunition and provisions, General Pemberton surrendered his entire army. After the war he retired to Warrington, Va., and in 1867 moved to Perth Amboy, N. J., and subsequently to Philadelphia, where he died in 1881. Rare Minerals in Tasmania. The number of rare minerals found to exist in Tasmania is constantly being added to, and the latest addition is molybdenite, which is used in the manufacture of "molybdenum steel," to which it gives a special hardness and toughness that makes it suitable for use in propeller shafts, guns and boilers. It is also used, to lesser extent, in the making of pottery glass and other things. The price of molybdenite is now $2,500 a ton, or nearly four times the present price of tin. Psychological.

The colored voters voters made no mistkae when they nominated Adal Roberts for the position, as he is an able representative of the race, an orator of national reputation and is the equal of any man, white or black in ability wao was making the race for the lower house in the city of Chicago.

Buford Calhoun, a young boy of this city was stabbed to death by William Andrew Carrol. a white boy Thursday night of last week, during a Carnival. The cutting took place on Metropolis street near an alley between 4th and 5th, sts. From what we could learn Charlie Hall, and Calhoun were to-gether on their way home when they met Carrol and Barret and they made a collision and from this words were passed by Carroll and the boys, and then the cutting took place. Carrol and Barrett were arrested but at the Corner's inquest Barrett was released but Carrol found guilty of doing the cutting and released on a bond of $500.00 to await the action of the Grand Jury. From what we can understand the killing was unwarranted Calhoun was burried Saturday in the Kidd Cemetry. The Gazette extenes sympathy to the Parents.

DETAILS OF THE KILLING AT NO. 9 THURSDAY NIGHT CONSTABLE JAMES GARRETT IS KILLED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO QUELL DISTURBANCE. General Riot Follows in Which Seven Negroes Are Shots Two of Them Sriciously. A riot occurred at Madison No. 9, a mining camp about two miles north of Carterville on Thursday night in which Constable James Garrett of Dewmaine and Buster Bridget of the big frame boarding house at the west end of "Donaly Row" were killed and five other negroes were wounded, two of them seriously.

For any information Supt. and Sec'y. Metropolis, Ill. word. It was reported by a Negro lad who was present shortly after, that Willie Lee, who shot Garret, deliberately loafered around for awhile, drew his gun on the boy and recognizing him had him to sit down beside him while he smoked, a cigarette, alter which he barricaded himself in a vacant building; declaring he would never be taken alive. Officers of Herrin were sent for, but on going to press we were unable to say whether he was captured or BOV. On account of the discipline Garrett has enforced out there it is said that he received several blackhand letters telling him to skidoo before the leaves fall, and to not get struck by a due drop, etc. Garrett's remains were taken to Dewmaine last night, where the inquest is being held today. Buster Bridget, who was killed at the "Boarding House" was shot twice in the back with a shot gun by an Italian who was captured. The dead and wounded are all negroes. It seems that after the death of Garret that the shooting became general and no one cared which way they shot or who was hit. It is reported that a number of shots were fired into a crowd of men sitting in a restaurant, the shots being fired through the door and windows from the outside. One man was shot through the leg as he was closing his barber shop. Another one was shot in both feet. Ex.
