Jan 22 MOTTO : "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY " REV. W. P. WASHINGTON Replies to the Open Letter of Jan. 29, of REV. J. A. BROCKETT. Mr. Editor of The Metropolis Weekly Gazette, Dear Sir, not looking for notoriety, especially from a Journalistic stand-point, but if I shall, or, even can, become notable, I promise you here and now, that it shall come to me, or to my credit, by my work first, and second, it shall come to me, or, my credit, by my success, I mean the success that God gives in spite of such obstructors, or would be, obstructors as Mr. Brockett, of Duquoin Illinois, through your paper, in the issue of January 29th 1915. inspired is, first, the bible declares, it is divinely inspired 2nd Peter 1:2L Second. Because, the writers of the bible, told of their bad life, as well as, their righteous life. I do not believe in ministers slinging mud at each other, but I do believe, if there is a man among us, purporting to be a man of God (Minister) and we know, or have reasons to believe that he is a grand rascal, and we sit, and let that man butcher up our churches, without warning them of that wolf, then I think the blood of that people will be required at our hands. If Mr. Brockett had been under the influence of a divine guidance when he was writing the story of his life, both public and private, he would have written of the trouble he created in Cairo, in the different homes, and how he made so many frends to become enemies, who are enemies till this day, on his account. Mr. Brockett, the above statement, did not appear in the Christian Advocate, nor was it clipped from another paper by the Illinois Anchor, nor do we have to go to heaven nor hell, to get the evidence before the public. Sir, your relation from a fraternal standpoint, only fits you in a position, to make the white race recognize you enough to recommend you to the best people of our race, to get off of their hands, knowing that most Negroes, will go to hell, on a white man's advice, and pay his own way there, rather than to go to heaven on the advise of his own race, and have some one to pay his way. See? The men you associated with, and them who licensed you, and them who ordained you ("That is quotation mark Mr. Brockett") D. W, Wisher Dr. Thomas Armitage, Bishops Turner and Flipper, and others, does not make you look any better to me, nor does it make you any better, unless your advancement is found in the practice of your life of sacrifice, and service. Judas had the approval of Christ, as well as His association, and the company of Jesus, is better than the company of Turner, Flipper, Derrick, or any other human heing, but Judas was a devil just the same. Sir, Since your heart is not right, your Education only prepares you to fool the peple, for it takes an Educated man, (I speak from a standpoint of the letter) to make a lie look like the tuth. See? Sir, If your word is worth anything, I feel that I have done some good by curseuring your your blood. "That is a quotation mark Mr. Brockett. I am about to speak of what is claimed for you, we will not call the names, but rumor has it, that you declare that the reason you do not, and will n't have anything to do with the association is, one of its benefactor's is a convict, and another is a murderer, together with the ignorance of the leadership of these District Bodies. You have staid away from us, and too since you have been in Southern Illinois, you have looked good to me in the back, but you say you are coming to my town, and will look me up, if you have to use a lantern at no-day, come, after showing you your Sin, and warning you, I am clear, come, after warning the churches of a wolf, and pointing him out, I am clear, if I have made you my enemy, I am sorry but come, you will need no lantern, I live at 239 15, St., come, after doing my duty, I am ready to let you know that I love you, come, you shall have a bed, you shall have bread, and if you are broke, you shall have your fare back to the only wife (Woman) you ever knew, I will do all of this, and more for (enemy) you, but you must stand out of the sunshine of the Missionary Baptist of Southern Illinois, or we will feed you, then fight you, and with the orders we have received at the foot of Olive, to preach and teach, together with the message sent to us from God, by the mouth of the Apostle Paul, to keep the ordinance as delivered to us, we will win out on this line. We are not Educated, we are unlearned fishers, but since we know God has called us, we will go up against the enemy as did David against the lion, and David conquered the lion of the forest, so will God's called men, conquer the uncalled Lions of the Universities.

We were sorry to hear of your mother's death, it was such a shock to us, not knowing of her illness. You and family have our deepest sympathy in your hour of sadness and sorrow. MRS. AZZIE WILLIAMS, 3037 Lawton Ave. of Little Rog In. Bernardine Renfle, born July 1, 1912, in Metrodolia, Ill., died Saturday Feb. 13, 1915 at 9:30 o'clock a.m., after an illness of three weeks of intense suffering caused by a complication of diseases. Aged 2 years, 5 months and 12 days. He had the very best attention and all that medical skill could do to control the disease proved fruitless and death came only to relieve the little patient sufferer from his prison house of clay and transport his soul to the mansion of eternal happiness. In a few years he would have been subjected to grief and disappointments out it pleased the Almighty in his providence to take him unto himself where he can dwell with the angels. He was a bright child for his age, well developed in body and mind. He had a friendly disposition and made friend da of old and young. He has gone, and paid the debt that we must all pay in a short course of time. He was the choice of the family using the only boy and grand-son. He was devoted to his grandparents and they to him, and to his cousins, Heilen and Maurice. George and Edgar McCray, were his fast friends and he was often with them and in their home. He leaves a mother, father, grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. William (Bud) Barnard, three aunts and a number of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. The funeral attended at the family residence Sunday afternoon at 2:30 in the presence of a large gathering of sorrowing and sympathetic friends of the family. Rev. J. B. McCray, officiated. There were many beautiful floral offerings by friends. Interment in the Kidd Cemetery. Rest in sweet peace. CONSOLATION Little Reglin Bernardine Rengro. Tis hard to lose dear ones we live.

Robinson possessed wealth and s0- clal standing, while Madge owned a splendid voice but scarcely the money with which to have it cultivated. She only regretted her poverty because it withheld certain branches of study from her which, in the dark hours of the night, Madge’s soul longed for. Never did she let the world know her desires because the world might fling either pity or scorn at her, and Madge was proud—too proud to ac- cept help or condemnation, When Robinson came into her life Madge not only found herself strong- ly attracted to him, but she realized also that his money would put her be- fore the best instructors the world af. forded. She was not in any way mer- cenary, but she was thankful that love and the chance for advancement had come hand in hand. She could not be really happy unth she had won fame for herself, and she loved love the more because it offered her her op- portunity to succeed more quickly than when hampered by poverty. She had been engaged to Robinson for two joyous weeks. A particularly ‘trying day lay behind her and she ‘greeted her fiance with a tired but happy smile. “J will be glad when you have given up all this nerveracking study,” Jobn Robinson said. “You are tiring your- self out, and I wish you would marry ‘mo straight off, so that 1 could com- ‘mand you to give up your feverish de- ‘sire for music” He bad spoken laugh- ingly, but Madge had felt a rush of ‘cold blood through her veins, “J never intend to stop studying,” she said quickly. “Nothing in the world would make me happy without my music. I intend to be a singer. I ‘thought you knew that.” she added and gazed wonderirgly at him. [have always considered it a joke,” ‘Robinson told her, and would have ‘drawn her into his arms to dismiss the subject, but Madge eluded him. “It you mean that,” she Said with firm voice, “I may as well tell you I will never marry you.” Robinson grew a shade white. “I have no desire to have my wife sing- ing in public and perhaps being away from me just at the time I want her ‘most. You will have plenty to do en- tertaining and managing for me. Come ‘don’t be silly—t will do everything I can to make you forget your desire for a career.” “No one could do that,” Madge said, and shook her head slowly. “It is too deeply rooted in my life dreams. No,” she repeated, “I want my music moré than I want you—under the condi- tions.” She drew the beautiful dia- mond from her finger. Robinson's eyes flashed. His quick anger frightened Madge. “Don't give me back that bauble,” he said roughly. “It’s no good to me, and I would only toss it into the street.” He flung himself out of the ‘room while Madge watched him with a feeling akin to relief. ‘When he had gone she fell to won- dering why she was so little affected by the smashing up of her first love affair. With firmly set lips she put the ring into her bureau drawer and shut the romance from her life. The following day she distovered upon looking at her bank book that her account was perilously near to tot- tering. It was then that Madge wept bitterly. She knew that the piano she had rented for $3 a month must go. She could not afford it longer. ‘That $3 would be needed for bread and butter. ‘When she had finished weeping she was white and her eyes shone bril- Mantly. She could not live without a plano. Out of the depths of her misery came the reallzation of the ring lying in her drawer. It was a perfectly useless jewel that meant nothing to her and the price of which would buy her a splendid piano! A friend of hers had once sold a piece of jewelry for a set of furs and Madge saw no reason why she could not exchange her ring in. the same way. ‘The advertisement she put in the paper the next day was eagerly read by one Jimmy Ganes, Jimmy was in- tending to propose to Nelly Wake, but did not feel that even Nelly was worth going into debt for and she was the kind of girl who would prize an en- gagement ring. Jimmy could not spend @ couple of hundred dollars just at that moment, but he could sacrifice his boom a uate was not in the least fond much as Jimmy regret- ted the fact he felt that she had other good qualities. He sighed with unconscious wistful- ness. Jimmy had always pictured a golden haired woman sitting at his rosewood vilano with a enft MNeht an METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL. ‘Since he felt more or less anxious to ex the proposal over and his future settled, Jimmy went to the address mentioned in the advertisement. As he climbed the stairs in a Bohe- mian part of the city, he paused to lis- ten to the voice that penetrated into the halls from one of the rooms, It was a voice rich in timbre and one that set Jimmy's music-loving heart to beating excitedly. He hardly breathed while the girl finished her song and not until he felt that she was not go- ing to sing again did he continue his search for the number he wanted, Madge answered the door and Jimmy's lately excited heart jumped suddenly into action again. Nelly was ‘a person of the past and dim ages when he beheld Madge. At least, in the unexpected meeting he forgot Nelly. “I have come in answer to this,” he told Madge and held out the advertise- ment. “Oh, I am so glad! Do come in,” She opened the door and Jimmy stepped into the poor little room that Madge called home. He fell to wonder- ing immediately what story lay behind her in connection with the ring she wanted to dispose of. Madge was not long in enlightening him. Her story was simple and she told it in a frank manner that put Jimmy in complete possession of her true character. ‘That her charm of manner, together with her wonderful volee, would place her in an exalted position of fame was a self-evident fact. He sighed and pondered on the possibility of a great singer becoming interested in a mere business man. He thought the chances were few. However, the glance Madge turned full upon him was not altogether without some expression that made Jimmy hope. “1 will miss the piano like thunder,” he sald. “Do you think I might come up some evenings and sit in a corner while you practice?” Madge laughed mischievously, “Will the ring and its recipient not afford you sufficient amusement?” she asked. “No, they won't,” Jimmy told her frankly, while he watched a rose bloom in Madge's cheeks. “I have decided not to propose to the girl who doesn’t love music—not yet at least.”" “Then you are not going to make the exchange!” Madge cried in quick disappointment. “Oh, yes,” Jimmy said, “I want to make the exchange all right, but I am not sure what I will do with the ring.” He looked rather anxiously into Madge’s eyes and again Madge laughed. “I might in turn exchange It for a couple of nice big chairs.” “A couple?” he questioned Madge. “You should get at least four for that ring.” “Anything you say,” he laughed back at her, and turned serious eyes upon her. “You are going to let me come and hear you sing,” he added, “aren't you?” Madge hesitated but a second, then realizing what the outcome of the meeting was going to be, said quickly, “Yes, az often as you like.” Jimmy smiled happily and in his heart thanked Robinson for disliking public singing, and later when she was Jimmy's wife Madge too thanked him, for she might never have met Jimmy had Robinson loved music. Justice to Wilkes. Detraction for a Jong time obscured the merits of Rear Admiral Wilkes, U. 8. N., the Antarctic explorer of 1840. He was charged with imagining & good deal of what he saw, mapping the coast line inaccurately, and with discovering a continent where none existed. But every honest explorer who has followed in the tracks of Wilkes has borne testimony to*the value of his pioneer work. Now comes the heroic Sir Douglas Mawson, the Australian explorer, with @ new tribute to the American. With some exceptions, possibly due to the effect of mirage, Wilkes, he says, mapped the Antarctic coast line cor. rectly. Posterity is coming round to the view that the American sailor, in spite of his meager resources, was one of the greatest explorers that ever penetrated the Antarctic circle. dite” Gente ‘Gee On James Scott, the White Sox nifty twirler, is probably the first ball play- er to take part in @ game in prison without being detained after the con- test.

AFRO-AMERIGAN CULLINGS “If a stone wall were built around the state of Georgia, and communica- tion with the outside world entirely shut off, the people of the common- wealth could live and enjoy life for an indefinite time,” said Claude N. Ben- nett, president of the Southern Society of Washington, at Washington. Mr. Bennett has just returned from a month's trip through the South, spend- ing most of his time in his native state of Georgia. 5 “While in Atlanta,” he continued, “I attended a ‘Georgia products dinner.’ ‘This is something new that has been adopted by the present regime. there.

The second oldest American was Flora Thompson, who died at Harba Island, Penn., in 1808, at the age of one hundred and: fitty years, writes Willis Fletcher Jobnson in the Philadelphia Ledger. She was, however, a Negro slave, and I pass her by, as I do.many other records of Negroes of great age, for the reason that in those days Ahe status of that race in this country was ‘such that little credence is to be given to its annals. Passing by many other less authen- tle cases, chiefly of Negro slaves, I come to one of this class which seems to be much more authoritative than most of them. This is the case of Wonder Booker, a slave who belouged to George Booker of Prince Edward county, Va., a family name of the most eminent American Negro of our time, Dr. Booker T, Washington.

In the United States the percentage of illiteracy js 7.7 for the total popula- tion (over ton years of age) and 3 for the native white population. In Den- mark, Germany, the Netherlands, Swe den, Switzerland and the United King- dom the percentage of Illiteracy ts lower than that for the native white pepulation of the United States. Doubt- leas the list should also include Nor- way, although no figures aro available for that country; but in the other Hu- ropean countries the percentage of {iiiteracy 1s higher than it is in the United States, and usually very much higher. In Bulgaria it is 65 per cent; in Greece 70, in Hungary 33, tn Italy 27, in Portugal 69, in Roumania 61, in Russia 69, in Servia 79, and in Spain 68.

Ruseian Soldier's Message of Love Went Through With Curious Annotation—Kisses Sent to English Girls by the General Staff. The rigors of the war-time censorship have from time to time drawn the fire of French wit. One lively Parisian journal promises when the war is over to print a long and true story about the tricks devised by soldiers in the field or by prisoners to get some crumbs of information past the official suppressors. Just for the present, however, continues the cheerful Parisian editor, a few retrospective anecdotes must serve—anecdotes called from the history of other wars belonging to the brief period since the censorship was invented. In the Manchurian campaign, for instance, every correspondent in the field was strictly forbidden to send any private letter of any sort. But there was a Russian who got permission on the anniversary of his wedding to telegraph to his wife. "Dearest Marle," he wrote with Slavic fervor, "I send you ten million kisses," and the dispatch went out with this solemn annotation at the bottom: "With the sanction of the imperial military authorities." Again, in South Africa, the young British soldiers used to wind up their letter to their sweethearts at home with a row of round marks like an "o"—doubtless meant to signify kisses. These innocent marks upset the military censors mightly. Suppose they concealed a treasonable message in code? Finally a more than ordinarily human and intelligent censor hit upon the expedient of making a great many more round marks after the others. That scotched the treasonable cipher if there was one, while supposing there was none, then the girl at home got full measure of what was coming to her. Indeed (remarks the French editor), more than one dear young island thing with a very undemonstrative lover down there in the veldt must have been thrilled and surprised to receive a whole avalanche of kisses, nearly all of them, if she had but known it, the gift of the general staff. VEGETATION ON THE MOON Harvard Professor Offers Evidence Which He Believes Disproves a Long-Held Theory. Professor Pickering of the Harvard astronomical observatory declares that there is nothing less true than that the moon is without air, water or vegetation. There are certain large lunar areas that darken toward lunar noon and fade out toward lunar sunset. They correspond in some degree to the so-called Martian seas, and Professor Pickering proposes the term "fields" to describe these plains or slopes, which he believes to be covered with vegetation. He is convinced that the dark fields to be seen during the lunar summer do not owe their blackness to shadow, for you can see them at full moon when shadows are absolutely invisible. The blue-black color of the fields and canals, he argues, can therefore be owing only to a discoloration of the surface that comes alike on slopes and levels in the lunar summer, and that is invisible in the spring and autumn. We know of no mineral that acts in that manner, and the only possible explanation seems to be that it is the result of a covering of vegetation—Youth's Companion.

TO DEATH IN OCEAN Pathetic, Yet in a Sense Dramatic, Suicide. "No Work, No Hope, No Use," Wrote California Man Before Swimming to Oblivion in the Waters of the Pacific. With $6 and a watch, S. H. Eckhart, #012 Compton avenue, Los Angeles, could find no hope in life. So he went out to sea at Venice and no one has seen him come back, and his clothes and his watch and the $6 were left behind in one of the bathhouse dressing rooms. No one knows his trade or his identity. He went to Venice with many others for a swim, the surf having only a minor chill to the seasoned swimmer. Quite a few persons were in the water, but not so many that one was lost in the group. So when the person who was later identified as S. H. Eckhart, walked from the bathhouse to the strand, he was noticed. Before he had left his room in his bathing suit, Mr. Eckhardt evidently had summed up his condition in one short sentence. It read: "No work, no hope, no use," and was later found planned to his clothing behind the locked door. Beside it lay the $6 in currency and the watch that was ticking faithfully. Not once after he left the shelter of the bathhouse did the man turn his head. He walked into the water, and the whiteness of his skin did not indicate a hardened swimmer. But he didn't finch. Above his knees the water came, and when about his waist, and as it reached his shoulders he bent over with his face to sea, and took a breaker. Farther out he came to the surface again, plowing for the open sea. The men on the beach were playing games to keep warm. Someone noted the swimmer a little later, "Quite a ways out," and that was all that was said. Not once did he turn his head. To those on land who were getting ready for their warm rubs he grew smaller and smaller. And at last tar out in the distance, where the vagueness of death itself is hinted in the tint where sky meets sea, they saw the small spot bobbing, and a straining eye could see it bobbing again, and then the little spot went out to sea, and all that came back, as far as anyone could see, was a sea gull that had something important to tell its mates. INCH OF RAIN MEANS MUCH Enormous Mass of Water Falls When That Precipitation Is Recorded. Very few persons—even those who are well informed on most matters— know how much an inch of rain is. The average man or woman prob- H "Placed end on end, 600 barrels would make two piles taller than the tallest skyscraper." ably has an idea that an inch of rain is a more trifle on nature's part. This is entirely wrong. In reality it is a good big rainfall—more than falls in most places in an average week. It is five times more rain than fell in New York city during the 46 days which ended on October 15 last, but that was the longest dry period in the history of the local weather bureau. A rainfall of one inch mean literally that the amount of water descending in a particular shower would cover the surrounding territory to a depth of one inch, providing it did not run away or soak into the ground. An inch of rain coming down on a single acre of land would fill more than 600 barrels of 45 gallons capacity each. This amount of water would weigh more than 110 tons, or nearly a quarter of a million pounds. Paroled Men Make Good The Missouri state board of pardons and parole submitted a report to Governor Major showing that out of 312 convicts paroled from the prisons in the last two years only 12 have violated their paroles, and have been returned to prison. All the others are following some useful occupation. Those who have obeyed their paroles are earning from nine dollars a week up, several instances being cited where they are earning as much as $100 a month. Out of 500 paroles issued in the last four years only 18 have violated the terms of their release. METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL Death Lurks In A Weak Heart CANADA ONE OF THE WORLD PROVIDERS Although Canada's real start in national development as pointed out by the Buffalo Commercial, came slowly and late, as compared with that of the United States, it is now well under way, and very soon there will be a marvelous expansion in agriculture, mining and manufacturing. The paper above mentioned says that "heretofore the development of Canada, like that of the United States, has been Westward, but unlike this country, the Dominion has a great territory to the North, which has been regarded as all but uninhabitable, but in which recent research has proven there are possibilities for development almost inconceivable." After making complimentary reference to the resources of the country tributary to the Hudeson Bay, which will be opened up when the railroad now under construction is completed, the Commercial further says "there are those living today who will see our neighbor on the north a great and powerful nation, and a not insignificant industrial and commercial rival of the United States. The war may retard, but it cannot destroy, Canada's future. And in this expansion no one will more heartily rejoice than the people of the United States, because the prosperity of the Dominion is bound to increase our own." Herein is the spirit that dominates the Dominion Government when it extends an invitation to Americans to assist in developing the resources that Canada possesses, whether they be mineral, forest, industrial, commercial or agriculture. Both countries will benefit, and the United States will be a gainer by having as a neighbor a country whose resources are as great and varied as are those of Canada. In comparing the United States along with other nations of the world in producing and importing foodstuffs, the Agricultural Outlook published by the United States department of agriculture says: The United States in recent years has been as large an importer of foodstuffs as exporter; therefore she cannot be classed as a surplus producer of foodstuffs. This is contrary to popular impression. It is true that she is an exporter of certain articles, but she is an equally large importer of other articles. In this classification tea and coffee are included with foodstuffs. In edible grains the production is 23 per cent more than the amount retained; the production of meats is six per cent more—that is, exports of meat equal six per cent of that retained in the United States for consumption; the production of dairy products is 20 per cent more than consumed; the production of poultry is just about equal to consumption; of vegetables, one per cent less. An investigation into the production, imports and exports of food products of various countries indicates that England produces about 53 per cent of her food requirements, and imports (net) about 47 per cent; Belgium produces 57 per cent, and imports 43 per cent; Germany produces 88 per cent, and imports 12 per cent; France produces 92 per cent, and imports eight per cent; Austria-Hungary produces 98 per cent, and imports two per cent; Russia produces 110 per cent of her requirements, and exports an equivalent of about 10 per cent; Canada produces 23 per cent more than she consumes; Argentina produces 48 per cent more than she consumes; the United States produces practically no more than she consumes (i. e., exports and imports of foodstuffs almost balance). With this information before the reader, it is not a difficult matter to direct attention to the fact that Canada stands in a pre-eminent position in the matter of grain and cattle production, and with a large territory yet unoccupied she will always maintain it.—Advertisement.

Children love this "fruit laxative," and nothing else cleanses the tender stomach, liver and bowels so nicely. A child simply will not stop playing to empty the bowels, and the result is they become tightly clogged with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sours, then your little one becomes cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat, sleep or act naturally, breath is bad, system full of cold, has sore throat, stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen, Mother! See if tongue is coated, then give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," and in a few hours all the constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the system, and you have a well child again. Millions of mothers give "California Syrup of Figs" because it is perfectly harmless; children love it, and it never fails to act on the stomach, liver and bowels. Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Adv.

"I is dun called David," said the boy. "Oh!" exclaimed May, her face lighting up with surprise and pleasure, "are you the David that killed Gollath?" The little black boy gave a frightened glance around, and, beginning to whimper, she shrieked: "Naw, I ain't nebber teched him."

SHOW SUPREMACY OF SOUL Bright Spots In Dark Incidents of the Great Conflict Going on In Europe. Courage is the universal possession of the German, the Englishman, the Frenchman, the Belgian, the Austrian, the Russian and the Japanese.

The other day, when the British dreadnaught Formidable went down in a storm, crushed like an egg shell by torpedoes or mines, its captain—Loxley—was on the bridge as it sank; and his last words were: "Steady men; it's all right; keep cool, do not get in a panic; be British."

SAGE TEA DARKENS GRAY HAIR TO ANY SHADE. TRY IT! Keep. Your Locks Youthful, Dark, Glossy and Thick With Garden Sage and Sulphur. When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and troublesome. For 50 cents you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use tonic called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy." You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and luxuriant. You will also discover dandruff is gone and hair has stopped falling. Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace, is a sign of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attractive appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur and look years younger. Adv.
