METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE Husband Empties Five Chambers of Revolver in Wife's Body, and Escapes Hon. A. Q. Green. Speaks For The Newspapers. Especially For The Light House. DR. HUBBARD WRITES FROM LIBERIA, W. G. A. An Interesting Letter From Dr. E. D. Hubbard, Our Missionary. Be Sure And Help Him In His Appeal Husband Empties Five Revolver in Wife Manul Lee, alias Told Lee, who resided in Ballard county, near Lovelaceville, Ky.. is alleged to have quarreled with his wife, Martha Lee, Monday morning and it is said she left him and that night near the farm of Mr. R. L. Gholston, he asked her if she was going to live with him. She did not answer him, and he is said to have pulled a revolver and emptied the contents in her body. She Hon. A. Q. Green, Speaks Especial For a long, long time I have been thinking of the small circulation of newspapers published by Negroes among our people. The value of a newspaper to any race can hardly be estimated, and the intelligent, reading, thinking men and women of our people ought to be exceedingly grateful and have great respect for T. A. Lawrence, Will Warley, Rev. W. H. McRidley, and W. H. Steward, for fighting our battles through these long stretch of years with just a few of the people giving them support. Every one of the six or eight Negro papers published in Kentucky ought to have from one to three thousand subscribers. I know that it is the contention of quite a number that they read the daily papers, and that to take a Negro weekly is just throwing away mony, but friends did you ever stop to think whose cause was being espoused by that daily you are reading. Is that daily pleading for the intellectual, moral or financial uplift of your people? Seven days in the week that daily comes to your door filled with achievements accomplished by a race other than that of your own, that daily is pointing the way to the successful business life and more noble things for the uplift and betterment of the white race and in its columns you scarcely ever find a word of commendation for the black man or his people.

Lly For The Light House. But once every week comes the Light-House and other good weekly papers published by our own men tho not filled with telegraphic news but breathing words of devotion for the cause that will help advance the Negro in their struggle to make better citizens The Negro editor is our spokesman aad defender and if he can speak only once a week, in the name of God, let us support him, by paying for and reading his paper which is also our paper. The editor of the Light-House, Mr. T. A. Lawrence, has stuck to his bush, and for years has contended for every right of the Negro vouchsafe under the laws of our country and at this very moment he ought to have three thousand subscribers. If our people will call a halt and give consideration to to the things for their best interest they will subscribe for their own papers which will enable our editors to do more for the advancement of our people. Mr. Green, is right in his contention set forth in his article and we are pleased to note the interest he has manifested in the race and its enterprises. We hope all of delinquent subscribers, I mean those who owe for their paper, will read this and then send us a Money Order.—ditor of Gazette. WRITES ERIA, W. G. A. From Dr. E. D. Hub- Missionary. Him In His Appeal tively no seasickness. We are now enjoying good health. Liberia is a beautiful section of Africa. Monrovia, the capital has many beautiful buildings. Weather is more pleasant than ```markdown ``` died instantly. MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE. LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." MURDER we expected to find it. The rainy season has begun, and of course that makes it much cooler. We sleep under a quilt or blanket every night. You see there are two seasons here, rainy and dry season. each lasting six months. Farming is the principal way of making a living here. Rice and Coffee are the principal products People do not plow here, they plant their crops with the hoe and then keep the weeds cut. They raise many kinds of food stuff, such as Casada. Eddoes, Yams. Sweet Potatoes and a little Corn. and farther in the interior some cotton. The soil is very rich. There are minerals of many kinks here, such as Gold, Silver, Aluminum, Iron and Coal together with many others not named. We have plenty fresh spring water. The farther into the interior you go, the healthier it is. I am living in the farthrest civilized settlement interior. We are thirty-five miles from Monrovia. We have to go thirty-five miles to get our mail. We have no railroads, no buggies or other vehicles. The natives do all the transferring on their heads. We have a few cows, hogs, sheep, goats and horses. People do not milk cows here. Some times they milk goats. There are many kinds of fruits here. I have seen plums larger than goose eggs. I have seen one stalk of cotton covering more than 8 feet, growing without any cultivation. One coming to Liberia to live should come prepared to care for themselves for six months at least. If you haven't money with which to do business of some kind, then get it in your mind that you are going in the bushes and build you a little hut and begin farming. Native labor is very cheap hence they are preferred. The beauty of living in Liberia is, you are FREE. Foreign Mission work is the Natives. The government is not able to furnish schools as it should. Quite a number of Mission schools are being operated here. Five hundred missionaries would not be too many for Liberia. The people are very anxious to have Americans come over and help them build up the country. The Native people go naked with only a little flap around their loins. This letter comes as a fulfillment of my promise to you. We only hope and pray that you will answer this letter, and send us something to assist in saving some one. We need money to build a house in which to live, preach and teach. Will you help us christians? I believe you will. Money sent to the Foreign Mission Board, 550 South 8th Street, Louisville, Ky., for the HUBBARD FUND will reach us O. K. If you send money direct to us, please send CURRENCY BY REGISTERED LETTER. Address me care of American Legation, Monrovia, Liberia, W. C. A. Pray much for us. We can tell you more when we shall have been here longer. Write us at once and ask any question you may desire. We will tell you the truth as we know it. God forbid that we should ever make one wrong statement concerning our people FRIDAY ILLINOIS Dr. W. P. Washington Makes Plea For Old Ministers' Home. Decatur, Ill, July 3rd 1922 To The Metropolis, Weekly Gazette, Metropolis, Ill. Please allow space in your newsy sheet to say to the constituents of the General Missionary Baptist Association of Illinois, that it is just twenty six days from our great rally in Golconda for our Aged Ministers' Home which convenes on the 30th of July, which is the fifth Sunday. I have been looking for the S. S. churches, B. Y. P. U.'s. Mission Societies and especially the Agents to make their financial reports to me for the Home but all of them seem to have gone to sleep and forgotten their obligation for the Home. My Brethren, are you not willing to help me bear the burden that should lay heavy on each of our hearts? I did not want to say what I am about to say, but the negligence of my brethren forces me to say, that I put myself in debt $348 50 Three Hundred Forty-eight Dollars and Fifty Cents to make our State Association able to purchase our Aged Minisiters' Home without one iota of security. We adjourned on May the 26, 1922. And from this entire State, I received $12 80. Brethren this is not in accord with our big speeches on the floor of the Association at Centralia, last May. I ask that you begin to relieve me of this mighty burden so I can at least, have some sleep. I am not unmindful of the great work you helped to do in purchasing the property, but we had better not purchased than to have done so, then take our seat and lose both our effort and money. I will be glad to get a letter from some brother or sister, if it only contains one dollar. If what has been done will not stir the Baptists to action, our case is a hopeless one. I hope to hear from some of the Agents if not all of them in the next few days, and I am praying that every Baptist Organization in the State will send a contribution to Golconda, for our rally for the 5th Sunday in this month. I am asking that Dr. C H. Clark of Chicago, will prepare himself to be the principal speaker at the eleven o'clock hour on the 30th inst. Our slogan is $1,500.00 that day. I am asking all who read this article to please send me one dollar at once for the Home. God bless you all. I am yours for the Aged Ministers' Home. W. P. Washington. and Africa. Ask others to pray for us. Yours for the Salvation of Africa. Mr. and Mrs. Baptist, you have been boasting of taking the world for Christ Just help take Illinois, and you will have done a big thing and you can do that by sending up a freewill offering of $1 for the 5th Sunday rally at Golconda.

We have been invited to go to Harrisbug, on August 8th and deliver and address and act as Master of ceremonies at the Emancipation Celebration. We consider this an honor to recieve such an invitation. The unsettled condition of the country may prevent us from attending the affair. Ours is to serve the Race after all. It is said, he who serves his fellowman most, serves God best. Be that as it may, we are the servant of the people, and we get a deal of real satisfaction and pleasure out of it after all. At the close of the S. S Convention of the Mt. Olive Baptist Association, Bro. J. W. Carneal, the president returned to Centralia, his home and told his S. S. that no School had invit'd the Convention, and the 2nd Baptist S. S. extended an invitation to hold the next annual session with them in 1923. Good for Centralia. Mesdame. M. J.

E. S., which convenes in that city July 25th. ```markdown ``` --- It is not so much in what you sav about paying for the Old Ministers' Home, but what you give in dollars and cents that will count in the Rally the Fifth Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Baptist. We are depending on your dollar, don't be too small at heart to give to the cause. Shall we be disappointed in you? Surely not. Mrs. Ruth Donlow, of Brookport, is spending a few days in the city with parents. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Long. Mr. and Mrs. Plillip Sumner of Brookport, are to visit their children in Chicago, soon. The Greatness of Peking. Peking, the Chinese capital, about which the rival armies are now fighting, is in reality three cities in one. There is an inner or Manchu city, and an outer or Chinese city. The inner comprises the Imperial city, which, in turn, contains the "Forbidden City" or the "Purple Forbidden City" inside the walls of which, again, is the Imperial palace. Peking itself is one of the oldest cities in the world, being known to exist in the Twelfth century before Christ, but although it is of immense size, being 25 miles in circumference, much of the space within the walls is unoccupied. Brains. World-famous Dr. George W. Crile who operates as skillfully with one hand as the other, compares the human body to a dry cell, with liver the negative pole, brain the positive. Anything that affects the liver will also affect the brain, says Crife. Indirectly, therefore, it appears that the intellect is partly in the liver. Sluggish liver frequently is the cause of stupidity. A course in calender sometimes is worth more than a course in school. Metropolis Gazette PUBLISHED ON FRIDAY BY THE GAZETTE PRINTING CO.

There is only one way to cure cartarrhra deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.

Special The Baptist throughout the United States are making a determined effort to pay the ten thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars, which they owe on their Seminary and Training School at Nashville. Dr. Edward P. Jones, for the last seven years president of the Convention, said just before leaving Evanston for the South where he has been invited by the Baptist that every indication points to the Convention at Nashville in September as the most constructive in all the denominatton in history. Our aim and pnpose to put over a program emphasizing the importance of Christian Education and the spreading of the Gospel must appeal to every right thinking man and woman throughout the country. The slogan at Nashville in September will be "Every Baptist a doer and lifting as we climb." He is spending this week in North Carolina and goes from there to attend the Louisiana State Convention at Baton Rouge. Rev. Thos. Morris, was at his post at Bronfieald Sunday.

Golconda, Ill., July 7th 1922 The Fifth Sunday meeting is still looming up. Here are some of the things that prove it: 450 N. 15, St., Murphysboro, Ill., July 1, Dr. C. C. Phillips, Golconda, Ill. Please find an order for the dollar I promised on the Home for Ministers. Wishing you success, I am respectfully yours. (Mrs.) Jesse Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton. is a friend to the cause and can see good in every good thing that the Lord has to do with. May the Lord continue to prosper this good A. M. E. lady. Another A. M. E. lady speaks. "Dr. Phillips shake my hand That is the dollar I promised you, I had good luck, and did not have to wait the 30 days. May the Lord bless you. Mrs. Ho son, lives in Carbondale, she claims Bro. Phillips, as her expastor if she does belong to the A. M. E. church. Dr. Phillips, I may not be able to come to the 5th Sunday meeting. Here is another dollar. Sister A. B. Bolden of Murphysboro. She is a liberal giver; May the Lord continue to bless her. Carbondale, Ill., July 6, '22. Dear Dr. Phillips, I have in mind the 5th Sunday meeting in Golconda, I hope to be able so be there on that day. Every Baptist should either come or send one dollar that their names may be seen on the Ledger. Yes, that our children may see what we did for them. Yours truly. Sister Hayes, is the first to contribute. She did it when times were hard in that city. She said Brother Phillips, as long as the Lord enables me to work I can always find something for Him. God loves a cheerful giver. American Baptist Publication Society, Chester, Pa, July 4, '22. American Baptist Publication Society, Chester, Pa, July 4, '22. Dear Bro. Phillips: The letter reads among other things; "Only to-day in looking through the current issues of Illinois Baptist" I discovered a picture and descriptive article concerning an Old preachers' Home recently established in Golconda This institution ought to be listed in the Year Book, and I enclosed herewith a blank used for gathering such data. Kindly fill out and send me at your earliest convenience, etc. Very sincerely yours. Dr. W. P. Throgmorton, Editor of Illinois Baptist, asked us to send the picture of the Home and also our cut, and he would publish same in the paper; and he did it. Newspapers are great factors for good. Our people for the most part seem to not recognize this fact. They should acquaint themselves with the Race Journals. Take them and pay for them. Carrier Mills, Ill., July 8th, Elder C. C. Phillips, Dear Bro. Phillips, find here, with inclosed the dollar I promised on our Home for the aged Ministers. May the Lord bless you in the work. John L. Taborn Power in Silence. The proper value of the power of silence is probably best expressed in the scriptural reference to the various convulsions of nature, the wind and the earthquake, followed by the still small voice. Coming down to a more recent period and a less renowned authority, we are reminded of the man who advised his son to keep his mouth shut so that people would not know he was a fool. This advice is still good for the great majority. Astronomy is said to be one of the best means of teaching the individual his relative unimportance in the universe of matter, but to be left alone, far from any human habitation, in a vast silence will probably accomplish the same. Employer Paid for Nut A curious point in workmen's compensation has been settled by the English Court of Appeal. A collier, who did not drink or smoke, was in the habit of carrying a nut in his mouth, apparently for much the same reason that some people carry chewing gum. One day while at work he slipped and fell; and the nut was jerked down his windpipe suffocating him. The court held that the accident was "in the course of his employment," and entitled his widow to recover. Poor Mule! "That," said the city man, "is what I call downright brutality. That man ought to be reported to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals "Why? What's he doing?" "What's he doing? Can't you see how fast that mule has to walk to keep out of his way when he's pushing the plow?"—Richmond Times-Dispatch Notice of Change of Policy of this Paper Regarding Writ-Ups, Etc. Notice is hereby given by the manager of this paper, that beginning with August 1st there will be a charge on all matter sent here for publication except purely news. All papers, Obituaries, Programs, Resolutions, Essays, Sermons, Personal Write-ups, etc. There will be a charge of $1.00 for the above named for 15 lines and all articles containing more than 15 type lines 10c will be charged for every additional line. This does not apply to news of the churches. We are compelled to do this for financial protection. Our more than 23 years of experience in the newspaper world has taught us that we have been giving away hundaeds of dollrrs annually paying for setting type for such things in which the general public is not interested in, and most of the time the persons writing are not subscribers and not interested in and have no Race pride or Race Loyalty, they make long and loud speeches to the galleries, preach great sermons and write fine papers on patronizing Race enterprises and that is as far as it goes with them, as nine times out ten they give their job work what little they have, to other persons other than race papers and are withholding the support from the men who are fighting mob and lynch law and the many other inequalities and evils which contaminate the race fifty two weeks in the year, while these would be race lovers find excuses in giving their work to others claiming they are too high priced or the work is inferior to others, when at the same time these same papers that they refuse to let do theirs are doing work for Negroes who do not pose as Race leaders, and too, these same race papers are doing job work for some of best business firms and individuals of the white race. The papers are great so long as they boost this class of individuals for naught and let him help the fellow who does not need his financial assistance. There seems too much racial jealousy and envy among the majority of our great leaders and that accounts for slow progress along race enterprises. Therefore we have taken the matter under careful advisement and have concluded to place a small charge on all matter except purely news. All Associational, Conventional matter we expect the officers of the Bodies to take care of in a more, systematic way hereafter at quarterly and annual meeting. Our experience at the meetings in the past forces us to make this request. No one who believes in a just compensation for honest work will object to this requirement. Actor Who Could Not Write The true story of "Joe Miller's Joke Book," is an interesting bit of literary history. Truth is that Joe Miller never read a joke in his life, and therefore could not have compiled a book of jokes. For Joe Miller could not read. He was an ignorant actor, who achieved great success in 1714 at the Drury Lane theater in London. And the only way that Joe Miller could memorize the lines of his parts was to have them read and reread to him until he was able to repeat them, the duty of thus drumming dialogue and cues into the comedian's mind being entrusted to a wife, whom he had married for the purpose. Off the stage or on, Miller was not a wit or humorist. But a year after his death a pamphlet appeared in which 247 jests were given, of which only three were ascribed to Joe Miller. They had been compiled by a man with the appropriate name of Motley. By the middle of the Nineteenth century the number of jokes had been increased by successive compilers to 1.546.

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL Kin. St. Clair 1969 THE LIGHT OF THE CAR EMMERSON TO AID ENFORCEMENT OF AUTOMOBILE LAWS Instructs Inspectors to Co-Operate in Compelling Obedience to Safety First Rules. With So Many Cars in Operation Strict Compliance Is Imperative. Automobile investigators, working under orders from Secretary of State Louis L. Emmerson, will devote a great deal of attention this summer to enforcement of safety-first laws of the road. These investigators were used the first time last year by the secretary of state under an act adopted by the last general assembly. There is only a limited number of them and their time this season has been devoted so far principally to rounding up automobile owners who have failed to secure 1922 licenses. They have this work well in hand and during the remainder of the season will also pay attention to other automobile laws. They will urge local authorities to co-operate fully in the enforcement of all these laws. What Law Provides. Safety-first laws of the road include the following: Regulation regarding the dimming of headlights. Requiring that automobiles be stopped before going over a grade crossing where there is a "stop" sign, and that at all other crossings slow down to 10 miles per hour. Limiting the speed of automobiles to 10 miles per hour in business sections of cities and villages, 15 miles per hour in residence sections, 20 miles per hour in sparsely settled sections, and not to exceed 30 miles an hour on the public highways. Requiring that automobiles be equipped with good brakes and suitable signalling device. Prohibiting any person under fifteen years of age from driving a motor vehicle on the public highways unless accompanied by the owner or a licensed chauffeur. Giving the right of way to persons coming from the right. Requiring that vehicles keep to the right in passing vehicles coming from the opposite direction and that they pass to the left of vehicles going in the same direction. Prohibiting the driver from turning or stopping without giving a signal by outstretched arm or otherwise. Prohibiting the driving of an automobile within 10 feet of a street car loading or discharging passengers, except by the express direction of a traffic officer. Inspectors Will Act. "In the past," Secretary of State Emersonm says, "we have urged strict compliance with all of these safety-first laws, and have asked local authorities to do all in their power to enforce them. That was all we could do until the last legislature gave my office power to appoint inspectors with authority to make arrests. "Of course, with the limited number of inspectors at my command, I cannot hope actively to enforce these laws in every community, but the inspectors will be moved about in such a way as to get the maximum result. By calling on local authorities at frequent intervals and by publicity, they will be of great benefit in enforcing all of the road laws just as they have been in decreasing violations of the state license law. "Notwithstanding the remarkable growth in the number of automobiles from 38,000 to nearly 700,000 in the past ten years, laws regarding their operation have kept pace with changing conditions and the safety provisions relative to the operation of motor vehicles on the public highway are ample for the protection of the public. Like every other law, however, unless these regulations are strictly enforced they fall in their object. Would Save Life. "I am firmly convinced that strict compliance with the laws of the road would decrease the number of automobile accidents to practically nothing. "According to the Division of Vital Statistics of the Department of Public Health, there were 734 fatalities in the state in 1920 due to automobile accidents. Four hundred and fifty of these were in Chicago and 284 in the downstate. Nearly all of these were caused by the failure of one or both parties concerned to obey the rules of the road. Unless these rules are obeyed the automobile, which in other respects is one of the greatest boons of this age, becomes a menace. It should be the concern of every good citizen to report any infraction of the law." POLICE ROUND UP HEADLIGHT FIEND ALL OVER STATE Campaign Started by Emmerson Gets Results in Many Communities. Good results have followed the recent efforts of Secretary of State Louis L. Emmerson to secure better enforcement of the headlight dimming law in the state, according to reports received at his office. Some time ago he instructed all investigators operating under his direction to make a special effort to obtain strict enforcement of this law, and to urge local authorities to co-operate with them. He also sent a letter to every sheriff and every chief of police in the state asking him to see that this law was enforced. Provision of Law. The section of the law referring to the headlight dimming is as follows: "When upon any public highway in this state, during the period from one hour after sunset to sunrise, every motor bicycle should carry one lighted lamp and every motor vehicle two lighted lamps, showing white lights, or lights of a yellow or amber tint, visible at least two hundred (200) feet in the direction toward which each motor bicycle or motor vehicle is proceeding, and shall also exhibit at least one lighted lamp which shall be so situated as to throw a red light visible in the reverse direction. The number plate at the back of the motor vehicle provided for in section 14 shall be firmly attached to the vehicle, so that it will not swing loosely, and shall be so lighted that the number on said plate shall be plainly legible and intelligible at a distance of fifty (50) feet. On approaching another vehicle proceeding in an opposite direction, and when within not less than two hundred and fifty (250) feet of same, any person in charge of a motor bicycle or motor vehicle equipped with electric headlight or headlights, shall dim or extinguish such headlight or lights. The provision herein contained in regard to dimming or extinguishing of headlights shall not apply when such headlights are equipped with an anti-glare device or lenses which prevent a glaring or dazzling light. During the period from one hour after sunset to sunrise every motor bicycle or motor vehicle which is standing on any road, highway or street shall display a light on the front and at the rear of the same. However, any city, town or village may, by ordinance, under rules and regulations it may prescribe, designate any part or parts of any street, or other highway therein, as parking places in which motor bicycles and motor vehicles may be parked without having their lamps lighted, as otherwise required by this section. Such parking place or places shall be lighted."

The plan was inaugurated by Rev. N. S. Sichterman of Grace Presbyterian church, that city. According to Doctor Sichterman, there are 60 children ranging in age from six to sixteen years who are members of the junior organization. They have their own room for services, which are of 30 minutes' duration, and have their own officers. The plan was put into operation in January and Doctor Sichterman is so pleased with the results that be expects soon to double the membership. Doctor Sichterman said the idea of forming a junior church developed from his experience in church while a boy. "My people came from Holland and settled in a neighborhood of Hollanders in a small Michigan town," he said. "The church I attended as a boy also used the Dutch language and the sermons sometimes lasted two hours or more. I well remember how tired and restless I would get as the time dragged on, for the sermon, while appealing to adults, was not such as would appeal to the child. "It was this experience which gave birth to the junior church idea, and last January I started the organization." CAN GROW NEW TUSK IN YEAR Discovery Is Made That the Walrus May Prolong World's Vanishing Supply of ivory. A remarkable discovery at the seal rookeries on Pribilof islands may prolong the world's vanishing ivory supply. Last summer an obnoxious bull walrus was mauled by government seal keepers, and in the fight one of its long tusks was broken off. This spring the same recalcitrant mammal returned, and to the surprise of both natives and attendants the tusk had grown out five inches, the end still showing the ragged edge of the break. It is now believed that an annual crop of this excellent ivory can be harvested by cutting off one-half of one tusk each year from the bull walrus. The one left intact is used by the manna in digging clams and sea food. In a year the stub would have grown out enough to serve as a pickaxe, so the other tusk could be sacrificed for the fancies of man. Walrus ivory is in great demand in China and Japan, where it is utilized for small carvings. Graphite and Siberia. Extensive deposits of graphite exist in northwestern Siberia, on the left bank of the River Kureka, near the junction with the River Yenisel, 90 miles from the mouth of the latter river. The graphite area forms a horizontal plateau, the elevation of which varies from 20 to 50 feet above the normal level of the River Kureka. The plateau contains two layers of graphite, which is of a solid steel-gray color, soft and of an excellent quality for the manufacture of pencils. It is believed that in the future these graphites will supply Russian demands and that large quantities will be available for export. The chief sources of graphite have been Ceylon, Bohemia, Germany, France and the United States. The annual world production has been approximately 120,000 short tons. The Modern Girl. If the modern girl is freer than her predecessor, she is, like her brother, more self-possessed. Her range of experience and of information is wider and her desire to know greater. She has seen more of the world and heard more of it, if not directly, then by the vicarious efforts of scores of agencies. She has no doubt broken through many irrational taboos, but she is trying hard to replace them with standards more suitable to the complexities of life in this generation. And if it is put to a male vote whether she is to return to the dress, manners, temperament and mental outlook of her eighteenth or even nineteenth century ancestor, there will only be an insignificant minority to vote against her as she is.—Baltimore American. Father Love vs. Mother's. Father Love vs. Mother's. Among some fishes the male assumes all the care and anxiety of parenthood. And this is true of at least one or two families of birds. The male ostrich hatches the eggs and looks after the little ones. The greatest enemy of the eggs and young of the stickleback fish is the mother herself. She not only has no affection for them whatever, but would ent every one of them if she weren't prevented from doing so by the father. In very few species of fish do the females care anything for either the eggs or the young. Among fishes, therefore, the instinct to save the young is not the wonderful mother instinct found in the human or other higher species, but the father instinct.-Detroit News. Brought Home to Him.
