Metropolis Weekly Gazette

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE GONE TO HIS REWARD. A GOOD MAN HAS FALL IN ISRAEL. George Bevelry McCrary, Sr. was born in Virginia some time before the war, the exact date is not known, as he was separated from his parents at the early age of seven years and was carried to Humphreys county Tennessee where he was reared by a Mr. Dobson McCrary, to manhood. He happened to fall into good hands and was treated kindly. He was taught to be a blacksmith beginning at ten years of age and following the same for many years. He died at his home on Pearl Street, Metropolis, Ill., Wednesday July 14th 1915 after about five months of intense suffering, though, without complaining He was united in marriage before the war to Miss Harriett Long and this union was severed Jan. 26, 1916 when Death claimed his companion. To said union ten children were born, six of whom preceded them to the great beyond. He leaves four to mourn their loss, namely; J. M. and J. B. McCrary, Mrs. Annie Wlyl and Mrs Princes E. Bell. He came to Illinois about forty years ago, locating in Metropolis, where the above named children grew to manhood and womanhood. He professed religion about 30 years ago during a revival conducted by pastor Elder F. Robinson, assisted by Elder Wm Morton, of Paducah, Ky., and joined the First Missionary Baptist church and remained an upright christian disciple of the lowly "Nazarine" until he was mustered out of service on July 14, 1915. He held the highest confidence of all who knew him, as he was honest, truthful and industrious, one who loved his home, and who was devoted to his family, toiling early and, earning his bread by the sweat of his face. To know him was only to love him as he was plain, unassuming, attending strictly to his own affairs. He was a kind benevolent neighbor, a good and useful citizen and a loving and indulgent father. In his death the church has lost a staunch Baptist, one who believed in Bible teachings, being a close student of the same, a loyal and devoted christian. The community has lost an upright citizen, the children a kind and faithful advisor. May the recollection of his acts of kindness and devotion, to his God, his home and his purity of life and conduct, ever be fragrant in our memories, with the fond hope of metting him hard by the throne of God where there are many mansions, where Jesus himself will not be ashamed, to call us brethren, where the redeemed shall receive the applaudits of the Saviour. "well done good and faithful servants," and be crowned with the crown of life and palms of victory given us. Amen The funeral of Father McCrary, was preached by Revs. J. W. Davie, and G. W. Rowlett, Sunday afternoon at the first Baptist church The remains were interred in the Masonic Cemetery. Peace to his ashes. LATHAM OF EGYPT OUT FOR PLACE Jolts Chicago G. O. P. By Asking Lieutenant Governor Nomination. State Senator Sam W. Latham of Eldorado, Saline county, yesterday announced his candicy for the Republican nomination for liutenant governor. He came to Chicago to serve notice that Egyptian Republicans are sewed up to no slate and that they will not be "delivered bodily to any aspirant for governor, United States senator, or president." The Latham declaration was a distinct political surprise, and particularly to Cook county policicians, who have been figuring that this particular place on the 1916 state ticket is at the disposal of former Lieutenant Gov. John G. Oglesby Three From Egypt Want Place. Senator Latham's entry makes a trio of three formally declared state ticket candidates from Egypt Louis L. Emmerson of Mt Vernon has been an active aspirant for secretary of state since Christmas. James W. Gullett of Elizabethtown opened his campaign for secretary of state a month ago. Southern Illinois normally several weeks ahead of the rest of the political season in Illinois and the row that is now stirred up doesn't help in framing a slate by the leaders north of Springfield and in Chicago. It is understood that astute politicians are looking forward to 1918 and the United States senatorship, the presumption being that a lieutenant governor elected next year might have a good chance to take over the governorship in 1919 following the possible chance of a governor to the senate in succession to Senator Lewis. Way to Governor's Chair. This at least is a chance that Senator Latham is willing to admit that he can take safely. He said that this is probably the only real chance that his part of the state has to get the governorship. Windup of the legislature found the Republican politicians from below Springfield talking much about a slate which would be headed by Col. Lowden for governor and probably would include Mr. Emerson as the Southern Illinois man on the ticket.—Chicago Tribune. NOTICE This is to notify the churches composing the East Mt.

Washington, D. D. Mt. Vernon, HI A A. Bradley, Cor, Sec. Dewmaine, Ill. MOTTO : 'HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY.' SFNATOR LAHAM A CANDIDIDATE FOR Believing that Southern Illinois is entitled to at least one state office, and knowing of no man more eminently fitted to perform the duties of so important a position with honor both to himself and to his constituents, in the event of his nomination and election, the Republican County Committee unanimously adopted a resolution urging Sen. Latham to make the race for the Republican nomination for Lieutenant Governor, and endorsing his candidacy, at a meeting held in Harrisburg, Wednesday afternoon. Since practically all of the candidates for state office thus far mentioned are residents of the north end of the state, either from Chicago or in the vicinity of Chicago. It would appear that those people up there should be willing to give us this much recognition, especially so in view of Sen. Latham's splendid record in the state A man of strong convictions, and possessed of indomitable courage in asserting and fighting for them on occasion, with his position on practically every important matter up for every important matter up for legislative consideration already well defined by his vote in the session just ended. Sen. Latham will certainly make a very formidable candidate for this important office, in the event he decides to "make the plunge." At a time when the Republican party is coming into its own after a four-year period of enforced idleness (same here) and when our whole industrial system must be saved from Democacys' paralyzing handiwork, reorganized, and put in trim for the activity always ushered in with the dawn of a Republican era, and during the period of recuperation from the blithing influences of free trade and a war tax, it will be necessary for the Republican party to put its "best foot forward." In the common vernacular, and it cannot go wrong in choosing such men as Senator S. W. Latham.—Eldorado Journal. Card of Thanks.

Editor Gazette: Allow me to say to the brethren of the district that I learn that Rev Pruitt, is indulging in disturbing the peace of Elder I. W. Winston's church Dnquoin, which is against the constitution of the Mt. Olive Baptist association. It seems that he and Dr. Dr. Knowles, do nos agree on the field. Rev Knowles, asked the Board at the Sparta, meeting to allow him to use Rev. Pruitt, as an assistant Missionary as Rev. Pruitt, had no work, the same was granted but Knowles, was held responsible for the condition of the field, Since that time Rev. Knowles has announced through the Gazette that Rev. Pruitt, was not an assistant Missionary, therefore Rev. Pruitt has no right to interfere or disturb the peace and work of any pastor in charge of work in the district. Rev. Pruitt is the pastor of Future City and Pleasant Grove churches and has no right to interfere with other pastors and churches. Moderator, Md. City, Ill. N. B. It is the duty of the Moderator to call the Executive Board together at once in Duquoin, and investigate the charges, and if found to be true to take such Gospel steps that will bring about peace and render satisfaction if possible and save the cause, and the name and standing of the ministry.

REPORTS OF RIVAL ARMIES CONFLICT KAISER FAILS TO OFFICIALLY CONFIRM REPORTED VICTORY IN POLAND. VIENNA SAYS RUSSIANS FLEE Petrograd Claims Armies Are Being Rearranged On New Lines Czar's General Staff Announces Repouse of Invaders. London, Dec. 19.—A cloud of uncertainty hangs over the operations of the belligerent armies in Poland. No official German report has yet been issued to stamp as accurate the unofficial claims to a German victory over the Russians, which on Thursday aroused enthusiasm to a high pitch throughout the German empire. The latest German statement on the situation is laxic. "In Poland," it says, "we continue to pursue the recreating enemy." Austria is more communicative than Berlin, for Vienna declares the Russian main forces are being pursued on the entire battle front of some 250 miles from Gallaecia to that point in Poland northeast of Lowe, where the Bazura River empties into the Vistula. As regards part at least of this statement Petrograd takes issue with Vienna, asserting that on the left bank of the Vistula an almost complete full in the fighting prevails, but that all the attacks made against the Russians have been repulsed. It is added, however, that in connection with the advance of part of the Russian troops toward Bazura and because the Austrians are re-enforcing in the Carpathians, "we have thought it fit to rearrange the positions of some of our army." Kalzer Repulsed, Says Czar. Petrograd, Dec. 19.—The following statement from the general staff of the Russian army was made public: "On the left bank of the Vistula an almost complete full on nearly all of the front has replaced the attacks made by the enemy in the course of the past few days. All of these attacks were repulsed. "In connection with the advance of part of our troops toward the Bura River (Russian Poland), and in view of the fact that the Austrians are continually receiving re-enforcements in the Carpathians, we have thought fit to rearrange the positions of some of our armies. "We knocked the offensive of the enemy in Western Galicia. On the front between Sanck and Lisko we have succeeded in our offensive and have captured 8,000 prisoners, several guns and mitrallieuses." Vicanna Denica Servian Report Vienna Defense Serviary Report Vienna, Dec. 19.—Nowa of great Servián victories are unfounded. The fact is that owing to an attack of superior forces our right wing was withdrawn and new positions occupied. Serviáns' allegations about our losses enormously exaggerated.

To The Public: The white and colored people throughout the entire South are very much interested in the building of the proposed theological seminary by the National Baptist Convention and the southern Baptist Convention. A certain Nashville newspaper in control of parties who are in disagreement with the National Baptist Convention has published articles calculating to impress those who do not know that all is not moving serenely with reference to the movement. We simply wish to say to the public that everything is moving along without any measure of friction or misunderstanduig whatever. The undersigned sustains the very rane relationship to the movement as has always been the case, with the exception that pressings calls upon him as General Secretary of Education from various parts of the country prevents him from giving to the local move ment in Memphis the amount of personal attention that they desire. We beg of the entire public that they regard all national statements at variance with what is here said as being wholly without the slightest foundation, in fact, and manufactured with the purpose of injuring one of the greatest movement ever inaugurated between the two races in the history of the whole world. Very respectfully. General Secretary of Education for The National Baptist Convention of America My Dear Friend: If any consolation can be afforded under so heavy an affliction as you have just experienced, it must come from a higher power than mine, your own strong sense of religion, and of our duty of resignation to a power that is beyond our control, and a will that is ever beneficiently directed toward our good, must uphold you in this most bitter trial. I well know how painiul it is, and I would have been glad to have been with you and sought to assuage the pangs of your overworn spirit, but we are confident that your beloved Father is in the enjoyment of everlasting happiness, such as you could not have realized to him on earth. I hope that you will support your spirits and look forward to that brighter and happier world in which we shall go to those who cannot return to us, may God comfort you. Your affectionate and sorrowing friend. Dennis Farrow. 429·15th St. Cairo, Ill., One of Man's Oldest Works. The necropolis at Bahrein, the center of the gulf pearl fisheries, is one of the oldest pieces of man's handiwork in the world. Willie Washington of Mt. Vernon. Ill., arrived in the city today (Thursday.) AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The question of the education of the Negro has always been one of deep concern to the South, and is particularly interesting with the illiteracy campaign in progress, the Negro being such a factor in bringing down the literacy in this state. Therefore the work of the industrial high school of this city is a matter of great moment, writes Mrs. Sidney M. Ullman in the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald. This splendid institution, under the direct influence of the board of education and Doctor Phillips' supervision, and with the able leadership of Prof. A. H. Parker, has become a factor in the city school life and an asset to the community. The principal of this school is a direct product of the public schools of Birmingham, raised and educated in this city, a man of great brains and heart, and regarded as one of the leading Negro citizens, not only of Birmingham, but of Alabama. Professor Parker impresses one immediately with his earnestness, and you feel how serious is the undertaking of this man and in what able hands the work has been placed. Housed in an unattractive, old, ramshackle building with unspeakable surroundings, as far as comfort and equipment for school purposes is concerned, this work goes on progressing, assisting hundreds of young Negro men and women, reaching into the family life, making better citizens of them and fitting each for the problem peculiar to themselves. The Industrial high school is situated on Eighth avenue near Eleventh street. The building was originally erected by a man named Lane, for an auditorium to display and conduct his art of medicine quackery; for Lane was an Indian medicine man. How the ugly, unattractive, old building ever lasted 20 years is almost inconceivable; however, it has lasted, stood all of these years, to at last become useful as the home of this splendid school. The building contains every modern idea along vocational lines in school development, some still crude, almost always because of lack of funds, but all carried out to some degree of perfection, and serving their purpose well. These departments are under the direction of trained teachers, well-equipped in their professions. The spirit and work of the school can best be judged from the essay of Franklin Irene Davis, a graduate of the school this term. This paper is not selected only as descriptive of the school, but also as a sample of the remarkable work done in the school. In the spring of 1913 the mothers and teachers, seeing the need of a more inexpensive method of dressing our girls, together decided upon, the adoption of a uniform. Permission was obtained to enforce it and the next fall saw us donning simple, dark dresses now familiarly known as "high school blues," relieved by white cuffs and collars. Besides these dresses came the rules permitting only one finger ring, no bracelets, no lockets, and no jewelry of any kind save a simple pin securing the collar. No silk hose can now be seen, and our color scheme has been reduced to black, white and blue. Its effects have been many, the greatest among them being the money saving; for a girl's supply of school dresses has been reduced to two per year, which only cost from 45 cents to $1.05 each, according to the size of the girl and Lafcadio Hearn held that the term "Negro melodies" is a misnomer. He traced all Negro songs back to English, Spanish and particularly French sources. The old ballads of these people which were in vogue at the time of settling in America were adapted, transformed, Africanized by the Negro slaves, and preserved in, their new form long after the originals were forgotten. Doubtless Hearn's theory is correct in essentials, but it has one detect. It does not give full credit to the Negro element in these tunes as they exist now. If the Negroes had not been a musical race, they never would have taken over and finally made their own the music of their masters. The Indians, a far more eighth-necked and independent race than the Africans, have no such group of songs to their credit, not even where they form an overwhelming majority of the population. Mexican bands do not play Aztec music, and it is not of record that Peruvian audiences listen to Quichua variations on Spanish alrs. The National Negro Business League will celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of its organization by holding a convention in Boston. August 18 to 20. Booker T. Washington, president of Tuskegee institute, who also is head of the organization, will preside Gaines made by the Negro race since the founding of the organization will be discussed. In 1900 there were 29,000 Negro business enterprises, and the number now has increased to 45,000. The total value of property owned by Negroes in the country is estimated at nearly $2,000,000,000. the season of the year. What a difference between this and former times when so many more dresses were thought necessary and did not look half so well as our simple dark blues with neat collars and cuffs. No longer do we envy those who wear better clothes than ours. Less time is spent in worrying over what to wear, consequently tardiness has been greatly reduced. We have also learned that good taste demands simplicity and so the jewelry not permitted during school days is often forgotten during Sundays. After becoming accustomed to our uniforms we are not so prone to rival the rainbow in choosing colors for other occasions. For all of these lessons we are grateful to our school. "Save the boy, and it will not be necessary to reform the man," was the keynote of the addresses delivered in the National Negro Baptist Sunday school congress at Washington, and resulted in an organized effort among the boys against loafers, crime and criminality, and a declaration on the part of boys representing 15 states to assist the officers of the law in preserving law and order. "Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone?" was used to open one of the busiest sessions of the meeting of the congress, and many new features looking toward the betterment of the home life of the Negro race throughout the country were introduced through addresses. Starting with the cadet movement, under Dr. W. H. Crawford, with 300 boys in uniform, making a demonstration, brought out many Negro boys of Birmingham, who made application for membership, but were told they would have to come in through the Sunday school. "These boys will be of benefit to communities in which they live," said Doctor Crawford. "They will work against cigarette smoking, tobacco chewing, and will be opposed to strong drink. You will find in these places where the cadets are there will be fewer arrests of boys, and stronger men will be developed. That shiftless, loafing criminal Negro will become a thing of the past. The Sunday school movement means this or nothing. We are going to do practical Sunday school work in the future." "Man's Part in Life's Choice," was the subject of the Bible lesson taught by Dr. E. Ford of Jacksonville. "With a common God there can be no misunderstanding between two men or two races," declared Prof. A. M. Tarwick, international secretary, of the Young Men's Christian association, one of the instructors in the Methodist institute, conducted by the Methodist Episcopal church, South, for the Negro Methodist ministers. "I want to here congratulate you upon the wonderful progress you have made, and that you are still making. This movement means much to your people. You have strong men here, and you are to be congratulated." In a costly watch that has been made for exhibition purposes there is a wheel that makes the revolution only once in four years, operating a dial that shows the years, months and days. It's easy to gauge a man's intelligence. Draw him into a discussion, and if he agrees with you he's sensible. The superintendent of education in Russell county, Alabama, conceived the enlightened thought that the Negro would be less a menace to the community if he were educated. He called a meeting of the white folks in the courthouse and tactfully asked them if they would be pleased to hear addresses from three educated colored persons. They agreed to listen and two Negro teachers and a Negro editor from Tuskegee presented the gospel of education for usefulness for which that institution is famous. The white folks were persuaded. They thereupon decided to add to the schools of Russell county a plan of industrial training, not only for colored children, but for their own white children as well. Buck Kilby, who is one of the Noble Red Man's stanchest defenders, says it can at least be said for the Indian that he never tries to "make" conservation. An electrically heated incubator for the production of Bacteria has been developed by a Salt Lake City scientist. The traffic of the Forth bridge, which is the largest of its kind in the world, for the year ending March, 1913, was 62,944 trains, an increase of 40 per cent, while the total weight increased to 15,984,410 tons, or about 60 per cent.

ILL CUTWORM IS DEFIED Long Island Man Has Found Way to Save Tomatoes. Incases Young Plants In Wax Paper Drinking Cups, After Cutting Out the Bottom of the Cup—Plan Works Well. L. J. Bisbee of Malverne, L. I. has found a novel use for wax paper drinking-cups after they have been used. He, like many other persons, grows tomatoes in his garden and has discovered that by cutting the bottom out of a drinking-cup, slipping the young plant through what is left and planting so that the cup is half buried in the earth, the plant will be safe from cutworms. Mr. Bisbee says that cutworms attack the tomato vines just at the level TOMATO PLANT WAX PAPER DRINKING CUP EARTH ROOTS How the Vine Is Planted. of the ground and never come above the surface. The cup acts also as a reservoir, holding moisture in the soil it contains and letting it soak down to the roots without washing out into the surrounding earth. He uses the cups, also, in planting slips of any sort, cutting a hole in the bottom for drainage, filling with earth and placing the whole in the ground. As the slip grows its roots destroy the remnants of the cup. Concrete or Earthworks. The Engineering Record says that every new war offers great scope to the skill of the engineer. One problem, for example, that needs to be solved immediately is to find the material that will best resist modern high explosives. Concrete, the mainstay of modern fortifications, is obviously almost useless—at least in its usual form. A few shells charged with high explosives knocked to pieces the turrets of permanent concrete forts, or if they did not hit them, toppled them over by completely shattering their concrete bases. Temporary earthworks, on the other hand, and one or two forts heavily banked with earth, resisted attack by such shells with measurable success. A shell penetrates concrete, and then exploding, rendes the whole mass, whereas on entering earth it merely blows out a big hole, which the falling dirt partly fills. In our Civil war an active shoveling party could quickly repair any damage to an earthwork that even heavy bombardment could do. The question now is whether concrete can be so re-enforced as to stand the shock, or whether recourse should not be had to some improved form of earthwork. Certainly it is true that a few feet of loose dirt, or even of snow, would stop a bullet that would pierce a half-inch iron plate, and the same principle seems to hold good for heavy projectiles. Ships Chinese in Sacks. Harry E. Brock of Seattle, who was arrested recently while driving an unlicensed automobile carrying two Chinese concealed in canvas sacks, confessed that he has been engaged in a thriving Chinese smuggling business for seven months and that for each subject brought into the United States from Canada he received $200. Brock was delivering the Chinese to Hop Quick Co company of Portland. Ching Chong Kee, a merchant of Vancouver, British Columbia, was the Canadian agent in the deal.75 Brock said he picked up the Chinese seven miles north of the international boundary line, walked them ten miles and used his automobile from Blaine the remainder of the distance. Training Italian Soldiers Training Italian Soldiers. The Italian soldier undergoes a more severe training in some respects than a friend or enemy in the armies of Europe. His day begins at 4:30 a.m., and drill and routine continue, with a two-hour break of "compulsory repose," until 5 p.m. After that he has four hours' freedom, but must be back in barracks by nine (or 8:30 in winter), and is supposed to be abeaut when, half an hour later, the bugles sound the "allenzio." He is extremely well cared for by the authorities, but long marches are reckoned among the essentials of his training, and some regiments can cover sixty miles at five miles an hour, and consider it nothing remarkable.

And Comment of Irreverent Auditor Did Not Tend to Make Situation Any Easier. A Hiram correspondent says that the news department refuses to report a speech recently delivered in his town, and he appeals to us to give it a place in our columns. We'll go just this far: He was quoting tenderly Tennyson's beautiful poem, "Crossing the Bar," and he got one of the lines this way: "And may there be no barring of the moan, when I put out to sea." One of his hearers put in: "There won't be, if your friends know that you sail under the British flag." "That isn't what I meant to say," replied the speaker in confusion. "I should have said: "And may there be no marring of the bone, when I put out to sea." "There won't be if you're careful to jump free of the propeller." chuckled his irreverent auditor. And the speaker gave up—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Oh, Well. Bacon—I don't believe in a fellow reminding you of a kindness he's done for you. Do you? Egbert—No, I do not.

Presently a very pretty girl came on to sing. "I say, isn't she lovely?" exclaimed the impressionable youth. "And just look at her splendid teeth!" "Yes, they are very nice," replied his neighbor. "And it gives me much pleasure to hear you praise them." "That so? Is she your daughter, then?" "No." "Are you her brother?" "No," was the answer; "but I'm glad you like her teeth." "They're absolutely perfect. But—er—I should—er—what's it got to do with you?" "I'm the dentist that made them. Perhaps I can do the same little job for you?" Childhood in Boston. A New Yorker who recently returned from a visit to Boston vouchers for the truth of the following, says the Youth's Companion: One afternoon he found the sixyear-old son of his host settled in front of the drawing-room fire with a sheet of paper before him and a pencil clasped in his chubby fist. Stealing a look over the boy's shoulder he saw that the little fellow was making pictures. "Well, Bobby," he asked genially, "are you drawing an engine?" Slowly the child looked up, and slowly he spoke: "It would take a very strong boy to draw an engine; but I am making a picture of a locomotive." A.

"What's the use of discussing the question as to how 'homely girls' may secure husbands," said an observant broadwayteye as he watched the matinee crowd. "There are no homely girls in this city. You may see plenty that you think are homely, but do not feel sorry for them—they don't think so. There is not a woman who in her heart does not feel that she looks well. I know a young lady who is distressingly cross-eyed. One day I expressed sympathy for her. 'Don't pity her,' exclaimed another woman. 'She likes her eyes.' She believes they are her chief beauty. Thinks they make her look cute. 'And so it' is with all women. Their blemishes are regarded as aids to beauty. There is a well-known actress, who has a large pale brown mole on one of her cheeks. It is nearly as large as a dime. Do you think she regards it as a blemish? 'Not at all; she likes it and has suits made to match it in color.' Deadly Insult. "Well," said Biggins, inspecting Walloper's new automobile, "there's one good't thing about it—it will never turn turtle." "How do you figure that out?" asked Walloper, much pleased. "Oh, it just couldn't," replied Higgins. "It might turn stock-turtle, but—" It was five minutes later that the police had to intervene. No, Indeed! "I'm afraid Jones is living beyond his income." "No, he isn't, but his creditors will be if they figure on getting what he owes them." Exclusive. Singleton—I want a woman who is cagely pleased. Wedmore—That kind doesn't marry. CAP and BELLS Mrs. Gadapur Got Benefit of War Nieve by Telling Husband of Love "Any. war news in the paper today?" asked Mrs. Gadspur of Mr. Gadspur, who was deeply absorbed in the morning "Banner." "Um." was Mr. Gadspur's only reply. "I saw yesterday where the Turks had lost a large number of men in the bombardment of the Dardanelles." No response. "And the allies won a victory over the Germans." Mr. Gadspur took a swallow of coffee and again disappeared behind the paper. "I see on the back page," continued Mrs. Gadspur, leaning over the table as if to scan the headlines better. "that the love letters of a beautiful divorce were read in court." "Umph! There's nothing new about the war," said Mr. Gadspur, quickly reversing the paper. While he was searching for the love letters of a mythical divorcee Mrs. Gadspur glanced at the front page, which was now turned toward her, and learned from letters a foot high that one of the greatest battles of the war had just been fought. Juvenile Logic. "Mamma," said small Edgar after glancing over his Sunday school lesson. "I don't believe Solomon, who half as rich as they say he was." "Why not, dear?" queried his mother. "Cause," replied the youthful student. "it says here, 'And he slept with his fathers.' If he had been so very rich I guess he would have had a bed of his own." How It Ended. Uncle John—Are you still quarrel- ing with your neighbor because his cat dined on your canary? His Nicee—No, indeed; that's all over long age. Uncle John—Well, I'm glad to hear you have buried the hatchet. His Nice—But I didn't bury the hatchet. Uncle John; I buried his cat. A SAD BLOW. SHERLOCK HOLMES "Yaa, my trip to Europe was completely applied at the very last, don't you know?" "How was that?" "One of the labels came off my suit-case and got lost." Proof Positive. "Do you drink coffee?" asked the doctor of an aged patient. "I do," replied the other. "Don't you know," continued the wise M. D., "that coffee is a slow potion?" "Yes, very slow," answered the old man. "I have taken it daily for nearly eighty-seven years." One Can Sometimes Tell. Fond Mather: My dear, I don't believe that young man who called on you last evening is much of a society man. Fond Mother—Yes; that's the trouble. Literally So.

Aldé to Oratory "Demosthenes put pebbles in his mouth to improve his goratory." "Well, he had to use the facilities that were available. Cough lesions hadn't been invented then." MAN IS REASONING CREATURE Interesting and Highly Intellectual Feast of Conversation Carried On by Two Good Men. Do you think that the casual conversation of women is inspired? Have you always rated the matinee chatter of two high school girls as the worst twaddle in the world? Listen, then, to this feast of reason set forth by a pair of good men and true and faithfully reported: "First cigar I smoked for six months. Used to smoke six or eight a day, but they got to my heart something fierce." "Yeah." "Still, tobacco don't really hurt a man. All right if you don't inhale." "Yeah." "Cigarettes all right if you roll 'em yourself. All the other kinds got some sort of dope in 'em." "Yeah." "Me for the old pipe. Only sensible way to smoke." "Yeah." "Only trouble is all the brands of pipe tobacco taste just alike. If one burns you tongue, they all burn your tongue." "Yeah." "Way I do it is to take three or four different kinds and blend 'em. Makes it smoother. Send you some one of these days." "Yeah. So long." "So long."—Spokane Spokesman-Review. She—I cannot marry you. All our family are opposed to you. She—I beg your pardon—I'm one of the family. No Laughing Matter. Mrs. Penn—I suppose you know that my husband is a professional humorist. Mr. Knox—Oh, yes, I have read a number of his jokes. Mrs. Penn—He never laughs at any of them himself. Isn't that strange? Mr. Knox—No, I can't say that it is. Marital Assertion. "Men are too easy with their wives. They should assert themselves more, and make the women understand they are to obey, and not command. That's my creed." "I'm with you. Have a cigar?" "Don't care if I do if you don't mind coming outside. My wife won't allow me to smoke in the house." A Sacrifice Hit. Mr. Highbrow (of Indianapolis)—Are you fond of ethnology, Miss Brushwood? Miss Brushwood (of Terre Haute)—Oh, my, yes; but I'm afraid to eat them—they look so much like toadstools! you know. About the Size of It. Little Lemuel—Say, paw, what's the difference between a defaulter and a thief? Paw—A defaulter, son steals enough to hire a good lawyer and a thief doesn't. Paw's Idea of It. Little Lemuel—Say, paw, they call a man an inlster, don't they? Paw—Yes, son. Little Lemuel—And do they call a woman a mystery, paw? Paw—No; but they ought to. Choking Him Off. Borem—Your face looks familiar, Haven't I seen you somewhere? Borem—Very likely; that's where I live. If you ever happen to be in that part of the country again drop in and see me. Pa Evidently a Tailor. "Pa, doesn't precipitation mean the same as settling?" "It does in chemistry, my son; but in business you'll find that many persons in settling don't show any precipitation at all." Knew His Book. "What is the plural of cent, Tommy?" asked the teacher of a small pupil. "Two cents," promptly replied Tommy. Cause and Effect. "It takes two to make a quarrel," quoted the old bachelor. "True," rejoined the man who survived three wives. "Where there's a will there's always a won't." A Back Hander She—Have you noticed the new art movement, Mr. Dubb?

ILL You Look Prematurely Old LITTLE ONE PROUD OF DADDY Hardly Willing to Admit That There Could Be Anyone Prettier Than He Was. The Warrenpeas live in a picture-book bungalow, framed in oak trees, shrubbery and flowers, and as Warrenpea's income is adequate, and likely to be more so, they go about a bit in a social way. Mulligan, their chauffeur, had been directed to steer the gasoline boat under the side porch at precisely 7:50. The engine was buzzing as Warrenpea descended the stairs from the owner's chamber, a fine figure of a man in evening clothes, immaculate to the tips of his shoes. Little Barbara, not quite three, was being prepared for her crib. Generally she's in it an hour earlier, hence up to this time had been deprived of observing how well her good-looking dad carries after-dinner garb. She was visibly impressed. "Daddle, you are the very prettiest man I ever saw," she confided, snuggling into his arms for the good-night kiss. "I think you're the prettiest man they is." "Toodlekins, you're a flatterer," he admitted, though not displeased by her appraisal. "Surely not the handsomeest in the world?" "Well, daddle," she replied, as one who desires to be just above all else, "I haven't seen God yet." Taking Him Down a Little An effeminate, self-opinionated young man enteled a restaurant the other day, and after he had ordered lunch the waitress, who was well known for her obliging disposition and ready wit, handed him a newspaper so that he might profitably while away the few minutes that would elapse before he was served.

A Spihister's Warnind She may have had experience in matrimony from what she said, but to all outward appearances she was a spinster. She had been sitting in the courtroom of a justice of the peace while he was preparing to marry a couple in his private office. There was too much laughing in the office to suit the spinster, and she let everybody know it. Finally she had stood the laughing of the bride-to-be long enough, she thought, and she squeaked the following in a high pitched voice: "Marriage is not to be mugged at. It is an insorous thing like going to church"—Indianapolis News. Outlawed. "How about paying me for that suit I made for you two years ago?" asked the tailor. "You surely can't expect me to pay for that suit," said the imbeculous young man. "Why, it's all out of style." "How many pancakes do you suppose you could eat at a sitting?" inquired Uncle George, as he watched his little nephew stowing them away. "I don't know," said the boy. "The most I ever had a chance to eat was twenty-four. Ma won't let me try for a record." Nothing New. My doctor is a great believer in apes. He's forever advising people to eat them.

They were discussing the North American Indian the other day in a rural school, when the teacher asked if anyone could tell him what the leaders were called. "Chief," answered a bright little girl at the head of the class. "Correct!" answered the teacher. "Now, can any of you tell me what the women are called?" The Fourth of July celebration of Mineral county, writes a correspondent of the San Francisco Chronicle, was held at Aurora and close to 2,000 people were entertained. There was silence for a minute or two, then a small boy was seen waving his hand aloft, eager to reply. The entrance of the Goldfield Consolidated Mining company, the big Wingfield concern, into the camp has stimulated an unusual interest in Aurora. The old mining property has been taken over by the Wingfield interests, a new mill erected and a monthly production of close to $50,000 is now being realized.

"No. Do you suppose I would be angry at him for that?" "Then what was it?" "He made me think it was a get-rich-quick scheme, but it wasn't." Mrs. Platt (angrily)—Oh, you think you know a lot, don't you? Mr. Platt (calmly)—Well, I ought to, my dear. I've been in the real estate business for nearly thirty years.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh. Hall's catarrh cure is the ooly positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's catarrh is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surface of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. send for list of testimonials. Address F. J. cHENEY & cO., Toledo, O.

Money Long In Use Hindus for centuries have used new honey as a laxative and old honey as an antiseptic. Absorptines of Persia offered honey to the sun. Greeks still mix it with milk of water and use it as a ligation to the dead.

Reflex Kicking Strap for the Cow. kicking cow is an aggravation about the dairy and the device referred to has been recently patented and is a simple means of educating her to be good. It will be quickly seen how the device is applied to the hind leg of the bovine and also how any pressure exerted upon the device, as in an effort to kick, the energy thus expended will give her a sharp reminder that she is not to have it all her own way. BEST FEEDING FOR PROTEIN Necessity for Giving More Than One Grain—Wheat Bran, Corn and Stover Make Good Ration. Dairymen who are on a short allowance in the matter of grain naturally wish, to keep down the expense bill, and make the mistake of feeding one grain only. For example, a correspondent asks which would give him the best results, corn or wheat bran, when, as a matter of fact, he should feed both to get anywhere near a balanced ration, and they should be fed in the proportion of one part of the wheat bran to six parts of the corn. This, with corn stover as roughage and with an occasional feed of oil meal of a change to some of the concentrated feeds like gluten meal, will supply a fairly balanced ration and not a costly one. Those who have to do with farm affairs are coming more and more to figure out these problems instead of guessing at what they should do or working on the same plans they followed years ago, when conditions were, perhaps, much different. This is going in the right direction and the ultimate results will not fall to be satisfactory. The Worker. "Did a musician of note score your opera?"
