BARR of Joliet, Illinois For Attorney General Hon. Richard J. Barr, is a leading att ney in Northern Illinois, and one of the largest farmers and stock raisers in Illinois. He served as State Senator for several terms and is in everyway fitted for the office of Atto-ney General. He is broadminded and kind hearted, a man for the place. The editor of The Gazette, has been in close touch with the Senator for several years having been committee clerk and 3rd assistant enrolling and eagosing clerk of the Senate and had to serve the committees of which he was chairman, and found in Senator Barr, a man worthy of the confidence and support of my people.

FLEES PRISON SIXTH TIME WITH 2 OTHERS FLEES PRISON SIXTH TIME WITH 2 OTHERS Clyde Stratton, Who Escaped from Leaenworth, Breaks Out of Joliet Via Hole in Roof. JOLIET, ILL., July 31.—Clyde Stratton and two other prisoners escaped from the Illinois Penitentiary here yesterday. It was the sixth time Stratton has broken out of some prison in a comdaratively short criminal career. William A. Hart and William McGlade, the others to escape, were serving life sentences for murder. That the men were gone was not discovered until last night, when the guards checked up the prisoners who have been allowed the freedom of the corridors in the cellhouse until 9 o'clock during the hot weather. Stratton escaped from the Leavenwonith Prison by crawling a mile through a sewer, and four times before that he had proved the futility of prison bars. This time he was serving a fourteen year sentence for the murder of a banker at Silvia, Ill. Stratton was arrested in richly furnished apartments in Chicago soon after the Logue murder in the McVicker Building several years ago and turned over to the federal authorities for a postoffice robbery and sent to Leavenworth. Guns and ammunition and such loot were found in his apartment. Previous to his Leavenworth escape Stratton twice got out of the Ohio Penitentiary. A hole bored in the roof of the cell corridor yrovided the avenue of escape for the three convicts, it was found today by investigators directed by Warden Michael Zimme.—Globe Democrat. FAIRFIELD, ILL, July 31 —Charged with assault to murder. Adam Felix, a stock dealer; Geo. Atteberry, a farmer and Albert Sav- age, the village marshal all of Mill Shoals, ten miles south of here, were arrested today by the Sherriff L. H. Weaver hne brought to Fairfield, where they were bound over to the grand jury. They are charged with shooting Frank Rutlidge, a regio, who was passing through that village. They called to Rutlidge to halt thinking he was a suspect for whom they were watching to obtain a $100 reward. The negro continued down the railroad track. They shot him in the back — Globe Democrat. LODGE MEMBER SLAIN MAKING BOY RIDE GOAT Youth, 17, Shoos and Kills Another, 19, at Colps, Ill., When Angered Over Initiatory Ceremonies Flees. HERRIN, ILL., July 31. — Andrew Hartwell, 17 years old, angered at an attempt by boy friends to initiate him into a local secret society, shot and killed George Beiwington, 19 years old, at the mining camp of Colps, west of here, last night. The killing took place in front of the village church. Both Hartwell and Beiwington were employed in the mines. Hartwell fled after the killing and up to a late hour tonight had eluded a posse pursuing him. It is believed he fled to his former home in Tennessee. Another killing took place in this section last night when Victor Steppie was stain at Roya ton by Fred Chirai over a $6 debt. —Exchange Another Great Man has fallen, John Lange, of Kansas City, Mo. Dead John Lange, one of the best known men in the United States and Manager of the Blind Boone Concert Co for the past thirty-seven years, passed away suddenly Saturday morning about 9:00 o'clock, near 18th Street and the Paseo. Mr. Lange, in company with Prof. J. R. E. Lee, was in his motor when it was struck by a Ford Car belonging to a white man. The excitement affecting his heart, he was taken to the Weaver Floral parlors where he died before Drs. Perry, Lambright and others could reach him. He was very popular in religious and social circles. Eift-one years ago he joined the Second Baptist Church at Columbia, Mo., where his member-ship still remains. He was a Mason from start to finish. He being Deputy Grand Master at one time, organized a in Missouri with a 121 member. This same lodge took the name of the organizer. Rev. Dr. S. W. Bacote, pastor of the Baptist Church at Kansas City, officiated at the funeral with the assistance of Rev. Dr. E. S. Reed, pastor of Iange's Church. Lange's Casket alone cost $500. This was the most expensive funeral that has ever passed thru th streets of Kansas City Lemons will save from Hospital Lemon sucking is the fad at Fort Sam Houston where Company H., Springfield, Eighth regiment is stationed. In order that Capt. Byrd's soldiers adopt the fad, the Springfield Commercial associator will send at least a crate of lemons to the colored troopers. According to Capt. Byrd, there has been more or less sickness among the men because tary drink too much water after drilling. He said lemon sucking was popular among the other companies and eliminated the desire for water. The consignment, according to Secretary Conkling of the Commercial association, will be sent immediately. ST. PAUK MINNESOTA. The visitors in St. Paul during this season of hot weather would find it, rather hard hard to believe that six months from this date the Mercury shall have dropped a hundred and thirty points. Thirty degrees of sub-zero weather is nothing out of the ordinary for this section. The Minnesota lakes are the rest resorts for visitors throut this country. The Union Sunday School picnic on last Wednesday was a enjoyable event for the citizens of the twin cities. The two Baptis is the A. M. E. Methodist, and the Presbyterian schools of St. Paul; the two Baptist the two Methodist schools of Minneapolis brought out a grand total of fifteen hundred people. This coming together of the twin city colored citizens is the largest social feature of the Summer season in the sta e. Mrs. Booker T. Washington was in the city of St. Paul, the guest of Mrs. W. T. Francis, and cheerfully became one of the picnicers. Mrs. Washington made an address out at the picnic in the afternoon. Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D., of Philadelphia was in the city from Sunday July 16, to Friday night July 21, the guest of Rev. B. N. Murrell, who arranged an appointment for Dr. Jordan in each of the four Baptist churches. Dr. Jordan left Friday night via Chicago, for Cleveland Ohio. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs of Washington, D. C. arrived in the city Saturday morning July 22, and will be the guest of Rev. and Mrs. B. N. Murrell for a week. She spoke in Pilgrim Baptist church Sunday morning, July 23. At night service she spoke in the Zion Baptist church Minneapolis. There are hundreds of visitors in the twin cities from very n every state in the Union. They report that their visit is an enjoyable occasion. There will be more than a dozen women of the two cities who will attend the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs in Baltimore next month. Promiently among the Minnesota delegation are: Mrs. Nellie T Francis, Mrs. Mattie Hicks, Mrs W. A Hilyard, Mrs V. D. Turn ner Miss Abda Belle. Mrs Dnivan Mrs J R. Vage Ms Clara Howard a o Mrs. C. H. Muller. Governor J. A. Burnquist of the state of Minnesota, is the president of the St. Paul Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He will preside at a meeting of the Local Association Monday night July 24, in the old Capitol. Among the speakers will be Attorney Brown S. Smith of Minneapolis, Miss Nani H. Burrough and Senator Kellog (to be elected this Fall) of Minnesota. A great gathering is expected at this meeting. Minnesota is proud of its chief executive who has the christian disposition, and the courage and manhood to declare himself and identify himself with every organization which stands for a fair deal to every individual Rev and Mrs. B. N. Murrell are preparing to spend the month of August at the Summer home of Dr. V. D. Turner. This beautiful Resort is upon a lake about a hundred and fifty miles North of St. Paul. The Twin city Colored Pastor's Association will hold its next monthly meeting at the home of Rev. D. E. Beasley, 905 Marion street St. Paul. The fruiteage of this organization have been many, among which is a happy association and mutual helpfulness to the ministers. If the reader of this item be a girl or woman without work; or if you have a desire to procure work at a better wage than you are now receiving for your labor as a Cook, General house work or a Trained Nurse, you ought to know that such help in Saint Paul and Minneapolis can not be had for love nor money in sufficient numbers to supply the demands. If you are not afraid to work and want a position of this kind in the Northwest cities where there are good churches, Sunday school's and a fine people, you may write a letter to Mrs. B. N. Murrell, 885 St. Anthony Ave., St. Paul. She will look after your needs. Send a two cent stamp for reply. Mrs. Murrell is the wife of Rev. B. N. Muraell, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist churce. Notice.

Returning Tourists Speak We of Their Treatment in The Canadian Government, having made extensive preparations during the last few years to impart to the National Park system a degree of comfort and pleasure to the visitor, combining the best efforts of man with the very best gifts of creation, has now the satisfaction of seeing an appreciation of the efforts they have made. Tourists returning from a trip over the Canadian Pacific, the Grand Trunk Pacific and the Canadian Northern railways speak enthusiastically of the beauties that are revealed as these roads enter and pass through the mountains. The Government has spent enormous sums of money laying out roads, and developing easy means of access to glacier, hill, valley, lake and stream. For what purpose? That the wonders that Canada possesses in its natural parks may become more easily accessible and afterward talked about, that a tourist travel through Canada would result. Tourist travel means business, and it is business that Canada seeks. To make it even more easy for this travel, the Government has taken palms to make every step of the tourist's entry into Canada one that will give the very least degree of trouble. On crossing the border, there is only the ordinary examination of baggage, and the only precaution is that in the case of foreign allens, and even in their case there is no difficulty when the officials are satisfied that they are not attempting entry as enemies. Although officials of the Government have taken every means to bring to the attention of the tourist and others that no difficulty could be placed in the way of their admission, there still remained doubt in the minds of some. Only the other day the Government took action again, and authorized the statement that no measures taken for recruiting the forces either have been or will be applied to any persons who are not ordinarily resident in the Dominion. Nor is it the intention to ask for volunteers except from among British subjects, resident in Canada. Moreover, the Militrry Service Act, under which conscription is applied in Great Britain, affects only persons "ordinarily resident in Great Britain." Americans and British subjects resident in the United States who desire to visit Canada will find no more trouble at the border than they have experienced in the past, and upon arriving they will be made as welcome as ever. War conditions of any kind will not inconvenience or interfere with them. The immigration authorities suggest that, as a precaution against inconvenience, naturalized Americans whose country of origin was one of those at war with the British empire, should provide themselves with their certificates of naturalization. Now that it is impossible to visit Europe, the planning of your vacation trip through Canada is one to give consideration to. The Government has taken an active interest in its National Parks in the heart of the Rocky mountains. These can be reached by any of the lines of railways, and the officials at these parks have been advised to render every attention to the visiting tourists, who in addition to seeing the most wonderful scenery in the world—nothing grander—nothing better—have excellent wagon and motor roads, taking them into the utter recesses of what was at one time considered practically inaccessible. In addition to this the tourist will not be inactive to the practical possibilities that will be before him as he passes over the great plains of the Western Provinces. The immense wheat fields, bounded by the horizon, no matter how far you travel. The wide pasture lands, giving home and food to thousands of heads of horses and cattle. The future of a country that he before only heard of but knew so little about, will be revealed to him in the most wonderful panorama, and imprinted in the lens of his brain in such a way that he will bring back with him the story of the richness of Agricultural Western Canada. And he will also have had an enjoyable outing.—Advertisement. Defined. "What's your idea of a crank?"

Former Possessions of Dutch Farmers in New York State Yield Big Prices. The sale of a block of the Dyckman farm recalls revolutionary history while making new history in the romance of New York real estate, says the World of that city. Twelve miles from city hall by subway, this land brings a reported price of nearly $10,000 a lot, or $129,000 an acre. Great apartments reared on it are to house 4,000 persons, a density rate of 600,000 to the square mile. Just around the corner is Kingsbridge, where Frederick Philipse took thrippence toll of every man and horse entering or leaving Manhattan. The Dyckmans, Whigs in the Revolution, kept their lands, though harried by the British. The tory Philipse lost manors and toll bridge. His vast estates were sold, the Harlem Heights properties bringing $11,000. The attainder did not affect his descendants' entailed rights, and New York state had to pay Jacob Astor $500,000 to quiet their claims, which he bought. Not a bad region is this for historic pilgrimages. Philipse manor, in Yonkers; the Van Courtlandt manor, in the park so named, and the Jumel mansion, on lands attained from the Philipses, are all open to the public. By the generosity of the heirs the Dyckman farmhouse is also preserved to New York as a memorial of sturdy Dutch farmer folk, who, in the midst of Tory neighbors and lords of vast estates, held fast both to their acres and their democracy. WOMAN'S PLACE IN HISTORY Mirabeau Had Pretty Nearly the Right Conception of Their Great Power and Influence. Women have always played a prominent part in the history of nations. Mirabeau once remarked that an insurrection would be impossible without them. During the Reign of Terror in France the Girondist party was overthrown and dispersed. Mme. Fontenay, who had been a leader in their councils, fled toward Spain, but was arrested and thrown into prison at Bordeaux. At that time Bordeaux was in the power of a human tiger, one Jean Lambert Tallien. His lodgings were upon the square where the guillotine was erected, and from the balcony he directed the proceedings and applauded the most skillful decapitations. This terrible inquisitor received a petition from Mme. Fontenay asking for his interference in her behalf. He visited the fair enchantress in her cell and one glance sufficed to open her prison doors. Then commenced her long career as Mme. Tallien. She finally married him, and her subsequent influence over him mitigated the horrors of his rule, and he became a humane citizen. Mme. Tallien was the direct cause of the fall of Robespierre and the occasion of the marriage of Josephine and Napoleon, and a direct link in the chain of circumstances which made Napoleon emperor.

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL. It Alone of Neutral Nations Sends an Expedition to Aid of Shackleton's Men. Uruguay is a little country, especially as South American countries go, and few people in this part of the world know much about it except that it is somewhere along the upper stretches of a big river, and that its chief products, as the geographies say, are cattle and revolutions. This lack of information, however, probably proves more about our own mental furnishings than it does about the lack of importance and inconsequentiality of Uruguay. Of all the nations not engaged in a great war and therefore desperately busy, only Uruguay has had and promptly acted on the estimable impulse to send a ship to bring Shackleton's men back from their dreary prison on Elephant island, says the New York Times. Uruguay's obligation to rescue these freezing and starving sailors and scientists is rather less than the one resting on the other larger and richer nonbelligerents for the increase of whose scientific knowledge as much as that of Great Britain whose brave explorers risked their lives. But it was Uruguay that had the happy thought and is carrying it out at its own expense! The "A, B, C powers," in spite of all their claims to superiority in South America, left the chance to do a beautiful thing escape them, though they and we know perfectly well how ill England can spare any of its ships at present for expeditions like this one.

Frissell, principal of Hampton institute and member of the General Education board, told the National Education association convention at New York. "Booker Washington's life was a distinct victory for the Negro race and for the ideas for which Hampton stands," said Doctor Frissell. "Washington carried from Hampton to Alabama a strong belief in the moral value of regular habits of industry. At the Tuskegee school Hampton ideas were reproduced. Throughout Washington's life he laid emphasis upon duties rather than upon rights. While he was sensitive to the injustices which his race suffers, he felt that the best preventive of injustice is improvement in physical, mental and moral conditions. Because of his real love for men, both white and black, and because he was able to render great and valuable service to both races, Doctor Washington exercised an influence second, perhaps, to that of no other man in this country. "Robert R. Moton, the new principal of Tuskegee, who was commandant at Hampton for many years, like Doctor Washington, spent part of his boyhood in an excellent Virginia home, where he learned to love white people and believe in their kindly disposition toward the blacks. This love and faith he has never lost. Booker T. Washington had certain noteworthy characteristics, possessed also by Robert Moton, in the production of which Hampton may at least claim a share—fault, love, modesty and service. "Washington and Moton, carrying out Hampton's idea of education for service, believed in the educational value of daily activities. Both preached the doctrine of training the hands, the head and the heart." A Negro bishop has been assigned to St. Louis by the African M. E. Zion church, which recently held its general conference at Louisville, KY. Rt. Rev. L. W. Kyles of Winston-Salem, N. C. former editor of the Quarterly Review, has been elected to preside over the Missouri conference, which embraces Missouri, southern Illinois, Indiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and California. The growth of the denominational work of the Zion church in St. Louis during the last five years, under the leadership of Rev. B. G. Slaw, through the establishment of a social settlement in connection with the Metropolitan church, at Lucas and Garrison avenues, has placed St. Louis in the lead as a religious center. The educational secretary of the denomination, Prof. J. W. Martin, has been directed to transfer his headquarters to St. Louis. Professor Martin for the last ten years has been president of Atkinson college. He will have charge of 14 schools and colleges, valued at more than $800,000, and will annually dispense an educational fund of $50,000. Captain Morey says the colored troopers sang as they faced death at Carriazal. It will be remembered that the colored troops which helped to storm San Juan hill in the Spanish war went up into the rain of Spanish fire singing "The Star-Spangled Banner." This bravery and devotion ought to be held to the lasting credit of their race in the time to come.—Baltimore American. Public Service Commissioner Hayward of New York, who announced his intention of raising a Negro regiment for service in Mexico, if necessary, received scores of applications for membership. Four recruiting stations were opened, one on Lenox avenue, between One Hundred and Thirtieth and One Hundred and Fortieth streets; one in what is known as the San Juan hill district, one in Brooklyn, and a fourth in the suburbs. Colonel Hayward does not believe there will be much difficulty in getting the war department to permit Major Charles Young of the Tenth cavalry, now in Mexico, to take charge of the instruction of the new regiment. In Denmark the cost of living continues to advance. Considering the selling price of foodstuffs, textiles, metals, lumber, oils and labor as 100 in 1913, the index number last March was 1822. It is not believed that the end of the war will result in great relief.

Eustace Day, rector of St. Paul's (colored) church, Atlanta, Ga., and head of St. Paul's Industrial school, met his death June 19 from heart failure, induced by overexertion while in the water at Fernandina Beach, Fla. For some months he had been suffering from the ill effects of overwork, and, on the advice of his bishop, was taking a vacation at Brunswick, Ga. He went on an excursion of the colored churches of Brunswick to Fernandina, went into the water, and was playing with the children, of whom he was very fond, when the cry arose, "Father Day is drowning!" A life line was thrown out and he was brought ashore alive, but died almost immediately. For 12 years he has ministered to the congregation of St. Paul's church and conducted the school connected with the mission. The school has steadily grown until now it has 250 pupils and covers all the grammar grades, besides kindergarten, industrial training, and commercial courses. He was greatly loved and respected by the people of his own race and stood high in the esteem of the bishop and white clergy of his diocese. The burial service was conducted by the bishop of Atlanta, assisted by Rev. J. J. N. Thompson, rector of St. Athanasius' (colored) church, Brunswick, Ga., in the A. M. E. church at Blackshear, Ga., Rev. Mr. Day's old home. His death is a severe loss to the colored work in the diocese of Atlanta. Fifty-two years a servant in one place is the record of Uncle Abe McClinney, who has waited on the dining table of the Judson Female college at Marion, Ala., ever since 1864. He is personally known and affectionately regarded by thousands of women all over the country who have attended that institution since the Civil war. The alumnae of Judson recently donated enough to restore McClinney's home, which was destroyed by fire. Uncle Abe is an old Negro of war times. His record for the same job at the college is said to be the longest in the country. In Marion there are almost twenty antebellum Negroes, whose attachment and service of early life bound them until death in the esteem of the white race. None is better known and more highly esteemed than Uncle Abe. He is still on the job, which he says he will hold down until he dies. When Dr. O. L. Shivers was called by the trustees to Judson to take charge of the boarding department in an effort to keep the institution going when Alabama was prostrate from war, he carried Uncle Abe with him, and the old Negro has served through the succeeding many administrations. The Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asin, Africa, Australia and the District of Columbia (colored) closed its annual session in Washington, D. C., after having elected and installed John S. Jackson as grand chancellor; Alexander Henderson, vice grand chancellor; James F. Armstrong, grand prelate; W. W. Cochran, grand master of exchequer; J. Clay Smith, grand keeper of record and seal; P. W. Busey, grand master at arms; Charles Neal, grand marshal; Sir Campbell, grand lecturer; L. E. Murray, grand representative; S. E. Miner and Messrs. Cheatam and Wade, trustees. The installation exercises were in charge of Paest Grand Chancellor M. F. Johnson. All the fragmentary accounts so far received of the bloody fight between Mexican troops and American cavalry-men at Carrizal agree that the colored soldiers who were attacked by much larger numbers made a gallant defense. They inflicted heavy losses upon a far more powerful force, the Mexican general in command being one of the slain. The little band of troopers fought until they had suffered very heavy losses, in proportion to their number, and they did their full duty in a position which made success hopeless. This is not the first nor the tenth time that colored soldiers in the service of the United States have shown themselves hard fighters and brave men. In many actions, under widely different conditions, they have been tested and found equal to every reasonable demand. If ever war should come it will be safe to predict that the colored troops of the United States army will make good records and that they will abundantly wipe out the score they have to settle for the treacherous butchery of their comrades of the Tenth cavalry.

The original Postum Cereal must be boiled; Instant Postum is made in the cup "quick as a wink," by adding hot water, and stirring.

THERE is no doubt that some children are much "beighter" than others. And, of course, the comparison between young child children are much brighter than others. And, of course, the brighter children are easier to teach than are the others. But many a bright child absorbs the teachings offered him and develops a character that is very far from satisfactory, while among the less "gifted" children are evolved useful and lovable spirits that amply compensate for the relatively feeble intellects. This is all common knowledge; yet we continue to be puzzled about it without making any effort to clear up our understanding. Or we continue to think and to act as thought the development of the intellect were of itself sufficient to insure suitable training of the character. The fact is that while knowledge may be converted into power it is in itself very far from being a substitute for wisdom. And still more remote is it from character. We know that children can learn knowledge; the important question for us is, can they acquire character? When we compare an infant with an older child and with an adult we may see that the lack of "character" on the part of the infant means that the child has not yet developed fixed habits in regard to certain things, whereas the older person has. You do not know just what the child will do under given circumstances, while you do know what the grown-up will do. It is the mass of habits that make up the foundation of the character which the child acquires. Habits of courteous speech, for example, may be mere imitations of other people's speech, and very different from what the child would use if neglected in this regard. Yet as it becomes a habit it constitutes a distinctive part of the person's character. It is through the little tricks of deference and politeness that a child learns respect, and it is from this that he develops an appreciation for the qualities that we wish him to look up to. And that suggests the second ele A Few Smiles. Painful Discovery Painful "I've just been studying one of those tests to prove whether or not a person is feeble-minded." "You look disturbed." "Why shouldn't I be, when according to that chart I've been a moron all my life and didn't know it?" The Exception. "Ability to make friends easily is a great help to a man who is running for office." "That depends on the office he's after." "Yes?" "The presidential nomination seems to fight shy of a man who's a good mixer." "What is the name of your dog?" WOLF "Macbeth." "That's a curious name for a dog." "He howls a great deal at night. I got the idea from that quotation 'Macbeth does murder sleep.'" "Was the charity ball a success?" "I should say so. The debutantes had about ten thousand dollars worth of fun and two hundred dollars was raised for the poor." A Flight Every Day. "Do you think Patrice, will marry that young aviator?" "Can't say. However, she seems much taken up with him." METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL. ment that enters into the "character" that can be trained or cultivated. The comparison between young children and adults shows us that another difference in their characters lies in the comparative instability of the child's likes or dislikes, and of his standards of right and wrong. Beginning with nearly direct imitation of what he sees his parents do, he comes in a few years to imagine himself doing things that he hears of others doing. When he begins to read about the exploits of great heroes he projects himself into the characters of history or legend, and for the time being he lives in the character that is uppermost in his interest. In this way he absorbs from his immediate surroundings and from his reading and associates the ideals and principles that will give stability and color to his conduct—that is his character.

Where Open-Mi Tight-Minded Where Open-Minded People and Tight-Minded People Differ By EVERETT DEAN MARTIN There are just two kinds of people and tight-minded people. Open-minded. They are tolerant.

Tight-minded people are lie all of life that does not come within call the frightful wastefulness "com kind of spiritual convulsion. It is g There are just two kinds of people in the world, open-minded people and tight-minded people. Open-minded people are naturally born generous. They are tolerant. They are not easily scandalized. They do their own thinking, and they let others do the same. They are not afraid of names or party labels, and when it comes to a final test, they think more of a living human being than they do of an abstract idea. Their ideas are not like little hard wads of truth, but are streams of life, free and flowing. Somehow, open-minded people have a way of feeling that life is bigger and more reliable than our little human notions, and so they are not worried for fear the world is going to the dogs every time the spiritual atmosphere changes. But tight-minded people do not feel quite at home in this universe. They go through life all cramped up and shivering, so to speak. They are afraid of everything strange. New ideas shock them. Naked truths embarrass them. They are such strangers to the great realities of life that they never recognize them walking around in new millinery. Tight-minded people are a little suspicious of progress; they always take their intellectual silverware to bed with them. They are afraid to trust reality in the dark. They also want to keep everything in this universe tied up in neat little bundles and stored away in bandboxes. They are very "oldmaidish" in their methods of mental housekeeping, never having given birth to any new ideas whose play upsets the perfect orderliness of their minds. Tight-minded people are like cooky cutters. They throw away all of life that does not come within their own little circle, and yet they call the frightful wastefulness "conservatism." Tight-mindedness is a kind of spiritual convulsion. It is a disease. Wise and Otherwise. A failure is frequently the successor of success. The better some people act the more violent the reaction. A few men mork too hard and a lot of men rest too much. Even the cow that produces the richest milk may kick at the hired help like a woman in silk. Frocks for Girls Frocks for quite young people have no waists, a loose belt descends many inches below the normal waistline; such frocks are made in tweed, cloth and various soft woolen fabrics, and often have a horizontal band in white down the front, with buttons for fastening, and the belt is white also. Some have sailor collars of the same white fabric, ending in front in a large black satin belt without ends. Some of the little frocks of plain material, made on the same lines, show a little striped petticoat below. Girls of that delightful age from twelve to seventeen wear mostly plain skirts, bodices with narrow, all-round basque, rather full white revers, a late frill falling over a flounce of chiffon; the sleeves are all after the coat form and close fitting, sometimes with buttons outside the arm, sometimes set in a band, and a favorite fashion for making such dresses is with a piece forming a front breadth from neck to hem, buttoning on either side, eight inches at the hem, tapering as little as necessary to the neck. Dog Hero of the Trenches. "We had a French soldier brought in frightfully wounded," says Dr. Mary Crawford, a Cornell graduate, who served in a French hospital, in the Cornell Women's Review. "One, leg had to be amputated, and, besides that, he had a half-dozen other wounds. His dog came with him, a hunting dog of some kind. This dog had saved his master's life. They were in the trenches together when a shell burst in such a way as to collapse the whole trench. Every man in it was killed or buried in the collapse, and this dog dug until he got his master's face free so that he could breathe, and then he sat by him until some re-enforcements came and dug them all out. Everyone was dead but this man. 'Isn't that a beautiful little story? We have both dog and man with us. The dog has a little house all to himself in the court, and he has blankets and food and lots of petting, and every day he is allowed to be with his master for a little while." Pockets a Feature Separate sport skirts are now quite as likely to be of silk jersey, khaki-kool or la jerz, as of linen, even if the knitted silk, wool jersey or the velvet coat is worn. They are very lovely in white, and have the advantage of being washable and needing no stiffening. While there are some skirts laid in long, narrow pressed plaits, most of the sports skirts are cut flaring and in few gores. Their novel feature lies in the pockets, on which much personal ingenuity is displayed. Pockets, whether slashed or patch, are cut in odd shapes. The crescent tops are one of the favorite outlines. The upper edge will often have a tiny platting of a contrasting material. The belt, which is of the same material generally, may have this same platting along the edge and buttons with as many as three buttons. Sometimes pockets are found in the belt. They are little slashes which are often faced, as are the up-to-date buttonholes, and are only large enough to hold a whistle, watch or key. ended People and People Differ people in the world, open-minded people minded people are naturally born gen- are not easily scandalized.

With dirt in his heart he sees only dirt with his eyes. Putting up hand boards to guide the people out of this world seems to be a good trade, even if people pay no attention to the signs. Some people cover their crimes so deep that it leaves a hump on their moral character, and people begin to wonder what is in that hump. but possessed by few—a beautiful head of hair.

Flower said in an address on eugenics in Boston: "Youth's point of view is better than age's when it comes to questions of eugenics. "Here, for example, is a dialogue to prove my claim. "A beautiful girl said to her fashionable mother: For the first time in more than 20 years the Children's Aid society of New York is unable to furnish enough boys to families who want either to adopt them or care for them until the boys become of age. The reason for this is the campaign for military preparedness and the great demand for workers in war munition factories. "Yes, mother, dear, I like Mr. Gobsa Golde, but isn't he too old to be considered eligible? "The fashionable mother compressed her roughed lips. "On the contrary, my love,' she said, 'he is too eligible to be considered old.'" Almost every day letters come to the society headquarters asking for boys who have been trained at its farm school. A busy man is one who can't find time to meddle with things that don't concern him. Last month 41 of the society's boys, sixteen to twenty-one years old, enlisted in the army and navy service for boys. The muntion factories take a large number of the older boys. Philadelphia's clean-up week cost taxpayers $12,000 for disposing of 90,000 cubic yards of refuse. Save the Babies.

Dear Sir and Brother, allow me space in your paper to say that I had a letter from Rev Hilie stating that the Association could not meet at the 17th St. Baptist church at Murphysboro as they were not able to entertain the Association; therefore I shall have to change the place of meeting and will let you know later where it will meet As the Association authorized me to change the date of the meeting of the Association so as to keep it from conflicting with the National Baptist Convention. Therefore I set Sept. 19, for the setting of the A.t. Olive Baptist Association. This will give all the Bros. a chance to go to the National Baptist Convention; if any Bro. in the district has any objection to this change let me know through the columns of this paper. Please give all the churches notice of the change. Yours in Christ. NOTICE. Dear Sisters: the time is fast approaching for the State Association that was organized at Centralia last year and the president is asking all local societies in the churches of each District to represent at this meeting and we hope to have a good representation from the Mt Olive district I have not heard from our missionary and don't know whether she has been able to visit any of the churches or not, but my dears we should not let our banner trail in the dust. We should hold up the standard of the Baptist everywhere. I am settled at home for awhile, but I am going to work in this part of the field, as the work is somewhat dull at present, but we have a lively set of B. Y. P. U. workers. They are doing real good work and I hope to be able to say the same of the W. E. & M. Society Remember the State work is calling for you in May and will convene with the Sparta Church. The fee for the District is $5.00 and local $2.50. The women will meet on Friday and I hope that each president will send me their address so they can receive their lotter blanks. I also have constitutions on hand; any local desiring them may write me. I also ask that each local put out small bags and let each member solicit $1.00 for the Educational Cause. Remember we should work while we live. We have lost a Christian Man and the Pres. of the Livingston Normal, in the person of the late Rev. J. H. Knowles, so let us close up the Rank and press forward. Yours for Christ, M. J. Blake, President.
