IN MEMORIAM.
With tears of regret, we attempt, to write with respect, the sad impression that the sudder death of our friend William Walls bestowed upon us, when the recording Angel turned the leaves of the Great book to the page that bore the record of his long lived life. It revealed to his supreme recollection, that it was called day, and the soul was to be called from this world, back to the God that gave it. Well may we weep for our departed friend, and sympatize for his dear one.
No more will we hear his friendly voice again.
No more will we receive the manly guidance he once gave us, which enabled us to walk successfully through life so far.
He was used to the intimacy of the rich and the poor, and was always at the service of his coworkers, and was a person high enough enough up in authority and influence to prevent, and lessen the terrible suffering of his people.
He was a man that tried to do his duty to his family, and to the great and Grand Masonic lodge of which he was a member, and an honored one. Little incidents in the past life, may be called to many a reader's mind. But, whether in that Great book a blot, gets over a fellow's name or not, and when he does a deed that is white.
It's always recorded just and right.
He was a man under whom some labored for years and we only give him due respect, when we say he was our daily friend.
For years he has worked for the Bartee Tie Company as inspector, and the thousands, and thousands of dollars that passed through his hands successfully, proud his integrity, obedience, respectfulness and last but not least his honesty.
May the life he has led and the obstacles, he has overcome be a guiding light to his associates that he has left behind and may the recording angel write success over the name of our dear friend and peace abide with him through out eternity. May God have mercy on his beloved wife, and be with her through her trials that her last days may be her best, and with tears we tender this as a missive of regret.
DISCUSS NEGRO QUESTION.
Pittsburgh, Oct. 24-Among the speakers at the convention of the Afro-American League of Western Pennsylvania were President Van Bittner, of the United Mine Workers, and A. F. of L. Organizer Lewis. The unionists and the delegates discussed ways to bring the negro in closer contact with the labor unions. The convention passed resolutions calling upon school authorities to cause a better enforcement of the compulsory education law as applied to negro children.
Dear Editor: please allow me a little space to say to you, that I have been on the field very busy ever since I left you in Mt. Vernon, in that great state Missionary Baptist Association of the state of Illinois, which was organized in the Corrinthian Baptist church, on the 25tn of Oct. 1914.
I was in Cape Girardeau, Mo. with Rev. W. C. Cole, pastor of the second Baptist church in a big financial rally which had been on for two months, preached two sermon, church full of life.
Total money raised that day $510 73. Rev. Cole has a good church over there, and a sled did choir with Mrs. Starks, organist.
I will be in Vienna, Ill. the 1st Sunday in November, at the 1st Baptist church and Mt. Taborn in Sandusky, Ill. the 2nd Sunday in Nov.
I am yours in his name for the work.
J. H. Knowles,
Missionary.

no happy girl.
No trait of a girl's character is more prized than a sweet and happy disposition. It makes the home life bright, it smooths away the little roughnesses, and it is like a ray of sunshine that brightens the darkest corners and drives away discontent and gloom. The happy girl makes the happy and contented wife, who will bring her girlhood's endearing qualities to make fresh sunshine in her new home.—Home Notes.
The luxury of yesterday is the common commodity of today and the accessory of tomorrow.

Sick Women Attention
Is it possible there is a woman in this country who continues to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial after all the evidence that is continually being published, which proves beyond contradiction that this grand old medicine has relieved more suffering among women than any other one medicine in the world? We have published in the newspapers of the United States more genuine testimonial letters than have ever been published in the interest of any other medicine for women—and every year we publish many new testimonials, all genuine and true. Here are three never before published:
From Mrs. S. T. Richmond, Providence, R. I.
PROVIDENCE, R.I.—"For the benefit of women who suffer as I have done I wish to state what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I did some heavy lifting and the doctor said it caused a displacement. I have always been weak and I overworked after my baby was born and inflammation set in, then nervous prostration, from which I did not recover until I had taken Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. The Compound is my best friend and when I hear of a woman with troubles like mine I try to induce her to take your medicine."—Mrs. S. T.

SOUTH QUINCY, MASS.—"The doctor said that I had orgasm trouble and he doctored me for a long time and I did not get any relief. I saw Lydia E.

MADE RECORD SPEED
Annette Kellerman Tells of Her Race With Death.
With Human Companion and Miscel
laneous Collection of Fish She Shot
Annette Kellerman tells an interesting story of the accident that occurred in Bermuda when the production of "Neptune's Daughter" was being photographed. "I wouldn't go through that experience again for anything short of an absolute certainty that I would come out a perfect Sarah Bernhardt," Miss Kellerman says. "Herbert Brenon, the director, and I were in that enormous glass enclosure with an octopus, a baby shark, lobsters, and tropical fish. He took the part of one of my enemies in the play who tried to kill me, and we were struggling like mad in the water. The photographers outside were operating their machines at full speed. We would work under water, and then swim up and begin speaking lines. I remember coming up almost out of breath and shouting, "Oh, Katherine is dead!" Then, in an aslide, "Oh, Mr. Brenon, of those lobsters is sticking me in the back; do hurry."
"Keep up your courage, we'll soon be through,' he replied.
"The next moment there was a noise like the report of a cannon. The water pressure had torn a hole in one end of the tank, and we started in that direction at a mile a second. You must keep your feet, I thought to myself. I straightened up and dived forward, preceded by Mr. Brenon. He behaved like a hero. He shot through that awful, jagged opening first, carrying with him a shower of glass splinters. This saved me, of course. My instep was terribly injured, but he was cut in 100 places about the arms and legs. Behind us came the octopus and the whole tankful of fish. It seems absurd, but the first thing Mr. Brenon and I said the moment we could get breath enough to say anything was, 'Is the picture ruined?'
POPULAR NOVEL IN PICTURES
Harold MacGrath's "Hearts and Masks" is Produced, With Remarkably Strong Cast.
Harold MacGrath never wrote a more interesting story than "Hearts and Masks." It has been read by many thousands and has been thoroughly enjoyed. A production has
SELIO POLYSCOPE CO.
been made of "Hearts and Masks," with Kathlyn Williams in the leading role; Charles Clary, Wheeler Oakman, Fred Huntly and other stars depicting other personalities in the well-known story. It is a most exciting picture and holds the interest of the spectator from beginning to end without a break. The picture is in three reels and is full of "punch" all the way through.
Part Suits Her.
Mabel Trunnelle is well known and admired among the motion-picture fans for her portrayals of the young girls in the Edison films. She, however, had never played the role of a Japanese girl when she learned that her part in the film, "Greater Love Hath No Man," by Mary Imlay Taylor, would be that of a Japanese maiden. Miss Trunnelle was delighted, because she had previously depicted practically every other character. She became deeply interested and spent every spare moment in embroidering a pretty Japanese gown.
Returns to Picture Game
Announcement is made that David H. Thompson is to appear in moving pictures again. A year ago a leading company decided that it needed some one to handle its "extra" people and cast the pictures, so Mr. Thompson was selected because of his good judgment of actors and general knowledge of the business.
PICTURE SURE TO MAKE HIT
Written and Produced by Tom Mix,
Popular Actor, Has Part Which
Just Suits Him.
Tom Mix has fairly outdone himself in the picture. "The Way of the Red Man," which was written and produced by him. It is full of life and action such as only Tom Mix can introduce. There is wrestling, shooting, riding, canoeing, etc., in Tom Mix's own best style. The story is of a red-man, a civilized Indian, who takes into his home a wounded gambler, shot while escaping the sheriff. The gambler has no honor and wins
SELIG POLYSCOPE CO.
the affections of Bounding Fawn, the red man's pretty squaw. The Indian discovers the gambler's treachery, and throws him, together with Bounding Fawn, out of the cabin.
The years pass. Bounding Fawn is cruelly slain by her drunken lover. The red man goes to the rescue, but arrives too late. He makes a prisoner of the drunken gambler, and ties him to a stake for torture. The closing scene shows vividly the typical Indian revenge, which the red man exacted, the forfeit being the life of the treacherous gambler.
Likes Railroad Atmosphere.
While it is the dream of thousands of girls to appear in motion-picture dramas, wear gorgeous gowns and play society dames in general, there is one photoplay star who would rather jump into a pair of tattered overalls and climb into the oily cab of a locomotive than take part in the most intense society drama ever written. This unusual person is Helen Holmes, the actress whom the railroad men out West have dubbed "The Daughter of the Railroad." Miss Holmes doesn't care what role she portrays—telegraph operator, fireman (or should it be firegirl?), or substitute engineer, so long as it enables her to live in the atmosphere of the railroad. The most recent drama in which she appears is "Grouch, the Engineer," in which she enacts the role of a railroad man's widow. A railroad serial story is being written around Miss Holmes, which will be called "The Hazards of Helen," and will consist of episodes, each complete in itself, showing the hazards encountered by Helen, who is a railroad telegrapher.
Has Played Many Parts.
In Lee Willard, a handsome chap of fine physique, G. M. Anderson has a valuable and versatile assistant for the western productions. Willard has been cast at different times as a half-breed and has played "heavy" and character parts in drama and comedies. He is a lover of animals and outdoor sports and seldom misses a day in taking a long horseback ride on his favorite bay mare, always accompanied by a pet collie. Willard enjoys his evenings and Sundays with a pretty wife and baby, surrounded by volumes of good books in one of the bungalows at Niles.
Actress a Glutton for Work
Cleo Madison has recovered from her tired spell and never looked better, which is a wonder when one considers that she has been rescued from fire and water, been swung from a big crane, and, goodness knows what else. The amount of work this energetic lady gets into 12 hours is quite remarkable, but she still refuses to shirk either the labor or any of the risks.
Carlyle Blackwell Well Supported. Carlyle Blackwell has turned out a good picture in "The Key to Yesterday," and his acting throughout is splendid. He has been well served by his support, too, and Edna Mayo, Ollie Kirby, Gypsy Abbott, J. Francis Dillon, William Brunton, and William Sheehan have all done excellent work.
Miss Stella Razeto, leading lady of Director E. J. LeSaint's dramatic company, studio, is at work in a special production called "Reparation." The role demands much artistic work of exacting character from Miss Razeto, whose successes in such cases are too well-known to dwell upon.

Tropical Hawaii, the home of the finest Pineapple, is too distant to supply you with the fresh fruit that has ripened on the plant. If you want the delicious Hawaiian Pineapple in all its perfection after fully ripening in the field, buy Libby's. Yellow and mellow when harvested and placed right into the tin the day it is picked.

"He raised the wind, and the dust was the natural consequence."
Not Taking Her From Him.

He—Why, is your father going away?
Keeping Up With Lizzie.
"It is the upkeep that makes marriage costly."
"Unless you have fashionable neighbors, in which case it is the keep up."
Simple and Effective.
"I understand Smith has got a simple and effective system of betting on the races."
"Yes. He always bets all he's got on the first race."
"Oh, then he goes home—disgust ed."
Not Needed.
Two college students were arraigned before the magistrate, charged with hurdling the low spots in the road in their motor car. "Have you a lawyer?" asked the magistrate. "We're not going to have any lawyer," answered the elder of the students. "We've decided to tell the truth."
Heavy pasturing concerned.
Heavy pasturing of alfalfa is not advised. The number of animals per acre should be so regulated that two or three small cuttings of hay may be taken from the field. This is necessary to insure tender green growth for grazing. When little buds begin to shoot at the base of the stalk the alfalfa should be cut. In a very few days a fresh new growth makes its appearance. Overpasturing, without occasional cutting, also tends to injure the crowns of the plant and eventually destroys the stand.
Watermen and Uniforms.
Watermen—who were also firemen—enjoy the distinction of being the first public servants who ever wore a uniform. "Long before our army and navy adopted any distinguishing garb," writes Mr. Guy Nickalls, "Thames watermen were known by their uniform and badge, a plaited coat, knee breeches and stockings and hat, according to fashion, but always a plate on the arm, either of the Waterman's hall to denote that they had the freedom of the river and were licensed, or the badge of their employer. Any person rowing or working any boat, wherry or other vessel, who had not served seven years as apprentice, incurred a penalty of $50."—London Chronicle
Stenegrapher Says It Was Not Difficult to Follow Remarks of "Uncle Joe."
"Sometimes a man gets a reputation that is undeserved," said Sam Gray, a member of the stenographic corps of the house of representatives, at the Willard, according to the Washington Post. "It happened to me a few years ago when I was traveling with former Speaker Cannon in a political campaign. 'Uncle Joe' made a lot of speeches in that particular campaign, and I was there to make a stenographic report and transcript of them. In one western city the speaker was talking to a tremendous crowd of people, when suddenly, without warning, the electric lights went out, leaving the house in total darkness.
"For fifteen minutes, perhaps, the speaker talked on in the darkness. It was up to me, of course, to make a report of his speech, and I did. Naturally, I had to feel my way, and I made my notes unusually large, so I would have no trouble in reading them. When the lights were restored I was right there with the speaker, and made an accurate transcript of his speech. Some of the newspaper boys heard of the story and published it as a marvelous feat.
"The fact is, it was not at all difficult to follow the former speaker. He is not a rapid talker, and I had no trouble in taking his remarks."
Not That.
"Y' say your wife is rusticating?"
"Hardly that. I could rusticate on
$15 a week easy, but it costs her $75."
The Right Thing.
He—In what month were you born?
She—Oh, you needn't be afraid. The

NOT EVEN AN ACQUAINTANCE
American Girl Surely Had Reason for
Complaint Against Impertinence
of Accoster:
You remember how in the piping
days of peace, when something simply
had to be done to make talk, there
was a hue and ery, about American
girls in Berlin and the dreadful things
they did under pretence of studying
music. Here {s a story of one of them
which the New York Evening Post
Saturday Magazine's special war cor-
respondent has sent over with the ex-
planation that it was all he could get
past the censor at this time. A: Ber-
lin paper reports that @ quiet street
in Charlottenburg was suddenly
alarmed by shrill ertes of “Police! Po:
lice!" A great. crowd. promptly col-
lected about the person responsible for
the disturbance, an excited young
woman, obviously American,
“Arrest this man, officer,” she said
48 goon asia policeman appeared. “I
am Miss Ellington from Cineinnatl, U.
8. A., and he had the impertinence to
speak to me.”
‘The policeman, guided by the young
woman's accusing finger, picked out
the culprit.
“The man Is a stranger to you?” he
asked.
“An entire stranger,” replied Miss
Hilington. “I have only ‘been taking
violin lessons from him for six
months.”

Profession.
One morning Gifford met his old

“Say, Will, I heard today that/your
son, Thorous, was an undertaker. 1

“Oli, no," replied Hall, positively, “1
never told you that.”
“I don’t like to contradict you, old
friend,” insisted Gifford, “but, really,

“No, you probably misunderstood

Mr. Louis Bell, the electrical flu-

hoeff, an eye specialist, have published
in Science their opinfon that the al-
leged dangers:to the eye from ultra-
violet radiation of sunlight and vari-
ous artificial lights amount to nothing
at all, They admit that there have
been many “sensational attacks" upon
modern illuminants as dangerous by
reaéon of injurious effects of ultra-
violet or actinie ‘rays, but. these have
“entirely negleeted any quantitative
relation between the radiation and its
supposed pathological effects.” Very
little of these rays can penetrate the
corttea, and, the crystalline lens cuts
off completely those that straggle
through toward the retina. Protective
glasses are useful only, they conclude,

Mr. William Walls, of Joppa, a highly and respected Colored man by both White and Colored died after a short illness at his home Monday night last at 10: 30. He had been employed as a tie inspector for the Bartee Tie Company for a number of years and was entrusted with thousands of dollars of the Companyv's money as well as looking after and keeping their business at Joppa, in shape, which speaks well for him as few Colored men ever get to be placed in the same position.
He proved to be not only honest but competent. In his death Joppa has lost a good Citizen and the race a friend. He was a member of Rising Sun Lodge 84 F.&. A Masons of that city, and was buried under the auspices of said order Wednesday after-noon at Metropolis at 3 o'clock. The funeral was preached at the A. M. E. Church by Rev. J. H. Smith. He leaves a widow and other relatives to mourn their loss. Peace to his ashes.

Their liaison continued until the girl was expecting to become a mother as a result of their illicit relation. Winter urged a criminal operation, but she refused, fearing the result, and finally was taken to the hospital where the child was born September 21, 1913.
Winter had never given his victim either his real name or address and although she described him and a warrant was sworn out for his arrest he was never found Ebon-hued Juanita Nelson, child mother of an almost white baby, was given a home with an elderly Mrs Anderson, at 1455 E Twenty third Street.
Last Saturday at Seventh and Main Street they met—Juanita Nelson and Frederick Winter, the white father of her illigitimate child. He was glad to see her, stood and talked, asked for and wrote in his note book her address and phone number. She told him of the child and asked what he would do for its support. They parted, she returning home with his promise to telephone her at 2. P. M.
Arrived home, Juanita told Mrs. Anderson she had seen the child's father. Soon the phone rang; he was on the wire. "Ase you alone," he asked. The old woman prompted her to-answer "yes," Then he would come out and in a few minutes Winters was there.
He greeted the girl affectionately, played with the baby and gave it two dollars. His former lust returned; he made improper proposals.
Mrs. Anderson had meanwhile phoned the sheriffs office and two deputies motored to the address.
One entered the front the other the rear door, catching Winters as he tried to escape. They obtained shocking evidence of his parlor-attempt.
At first Winters claimed he had never seen Juanita Nelson, until she called him in as he was passing; he gave a fictitious name.
Then, winking at the officers, claimed he was there on police duty as they were.
At police headquarters he made a confession, admitting the facts as alledged by the girl. Since he has made a clean breast of the whole matter and offers to support the mother and child by a monthly payment of $15. He wished to marry Juanita Nelson, but is prevented by the State law.
R. A. Logen, and T. P. Porter both of Phducah, were in the city Thursday distributing advertising matter for Hecht's Dry goods store. They paid the Gazette office a visit.

Heavy Annual Rainfall
The rainfall of a village among the hills of Assam, during the ten weeks from May 1 to July 9 this year, was 850 inches. The village is Cherrapunjil, the rainiest spot in Asia and presumably in the world. Its annual rainfall is something over 450 inches—say, fifteen times as much as London. Cherrapunjil stands on a plateau, overlooking the plains of Syrian, and it is 6,455 feet above sea level. Westminster Gazette.
