THE NEGRO IN IT You may talk about the Negro, You may name his faults in- finite; But you cannot turn a wheel That a Negro isn't in it. You may block his civil rights, You may say you are "again" it; But before you turn around, Some sharp Negro will be in it. You may build your Chinese Walls— You may plan for every min- ute; But with all your wily schemes, Some few Negroes will be in. You may form your "Lily Whites," You may kill your bear and skin it; When the "pie" is passed around Some shrewd Negro will be it. Be it high or be it low, From cook pot to Senate; There is not a place on earth, That a Negro isn't in it. So, my friend, just stop your folly, Draw this thought way out and spin it. God intends from first to last, That the Negro must be in it. You may try the plan of Pharoah Kill the race out, try to thin it; When the census roll is called, Negroes always will be in it! If you keep on with you lynch- ing, Take this thought down now and pin it...; When you reach the shores of hell You will find some Negroes in it. You may reach the Land of Beulah, If by chance, you e'er should win it; Don't you emigrate, my brother, When you find all Negroes in it. —St. Louis Advance. HON. GEO. H. WOODSON Formerly of Helena On the death of Senator Dolliver from the Daily Register and and Leader of DesMoines, Ia. : COLORED RACE MOURNS HIM Regarded Dolliver as Benefactor Through Speech and Deeds I think the announcement of the death of Senator Dolliver will be counted among the saddest news which telegraph and press have flashed to the colored citizen of this great state and country for many years. Few men in his day, outside of the great Grand Army of the Republic, have so endeared them selves to all classes and especially the common masses of my people. He was a friend to Wilberforce university, in Ohio, to Howard university, at Washington, D. C., and well wisher to all our industrial schools in the country. Everything of merit that tended to uplift and aid our oppressed people could count with con- --- Helena, Montana, Friday, October 21 1910 Having known the man personally since I left the regular army about twenty-two years ago, my admiration and devotion for him has constantly increased with each passing year. His great speeches on the tariff and on the industrial and financial interests of the country will give him a unique place among the orators of the new world. His utterances in behali of equal rights for all men; his great pleas for the oppressed and the common masses; the outpourings of the true sentiments that lived in his great smypathetic heart for the black race and the poor of our own great country, will send his name down to coming generations with fame, fitting him as an associate of Chatham, Burke, O'Connell, Garrison, Phillips, Lincoln and others. The one thing, more than any other, that emphasized Senator Dolliver's true greatness to me was his constant great goodness of haert. No matter wha his environments, or the class and character of his audience, he never failed to say a word for the oppressed and the weak. Even in these days when most public men are anxious to omit, avoid and forget any mention of the merits of the "old soldier" or the "cause of the negro," Senator Dolliver regarded the just and fair treatment of these questions of the equivalent importance to the welfare of his country, and he boldly treated them with clearness, frankness, and feeling even to the day of his death. A grateful race joins in this mourning. George H. Woodson. ALBERT L. HOLTER FOR REPRESENTATIVE Albert L. Holter republican candidate for the house of represntatives is a native Montanan, born in this city, in the 0 year of 1874, he is a representative of the young element of the party and is in every way worthy of the support of all classes of the people. He is a representative of business interests and being reared here is thoroughly acquainted with the needs and wishes of all the people. He is conservative to a high degree and liberal in his views and we predict for him as a lawmaker to make in that position an enviable record. Mr. Holter is a plain straight forward business man easy of approach and the masses will apreciate that same and give to him a loyal support all along the line. THOS. H. SPRATT FOR ASSESSOR. For County Assessor, Thos. H. Spratt who has so faithfully served the people as Auditor for the past four years is the Republican candidate. We have known Mr. Spratt ever since we have been publishing this paper and know him to be friendly to the progress of all the people and there should be no hesitation in giving to him a hearty support. Billy Wheaton, Republican candidate for County Clerk is one of the wide awake, hustling young Republicans of Lewis and Clark county, and the people could not lend their support to a more worthy man for this position. POLITICAL The candidacy of Albert L. Holter appeals strongly to all classes and he will be one of the leaders on the legislative ticket. Judge Horn's candidacy for Justice of the Peace is almost as big a joke as that one of his for police judge for a second term. A. J. Walton for constable is receiving assurances of a strong support from all classes. There is no question of his election, everybody get in line. Cap. Adamson maintains his big lead in the race for Constable and there is no question of his election. It is Adamson and Walton in a walk. M. L. Higgins for his second term as sheriff is making a winning fight and no doubt will be re-elected by a handsome majority. The Independent club was named by Dude Johnson as Get The Money Klub. Work and vote for Albert L Holter for the legislature. POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENTS. The articles under this heading are paid political write-ups. and open to all who care for newspaper space. A. J. Duncan for County Treasurer has filled the position of City Treasurer two terms to the entire satisfaction of all, and is making a winning race for Treasurer of Lewis and Clark county. He is popular among all classes and will receive a strong and hearty support. He asks the consideration of all the voters to his candidacy. S. H. Hepner for County Attorney is a candidate for his second term and asks the support of all the voters. He has made an enviable record in that position and will receive a strong and loyal support for re-election. In the conduct of his office, he knows no man by his color or his nationality, but believes in giving justice to all, he will receive a strong support from all classes for a second term. M. M.

(From the Baltimore Sun) A direct appeal for the Negro vote in the coming Congressional election is made in the Republican textbook, mainly on the gorund that the party in power has shown "justice" to the Negro by appointing him to Federal offices. This discloses for the first time the extent to which Negroes have been given Government preferment. There are nearly 15,000 Negrose employed by the Government. They total salaries aggregating $8,255,761. Eleven are officials of the Diplomatic and Consular Service; 11 are officers in the United States Army; nearly 3,000 are employed in the Postal Service. The number employed in departments in Washington is 5,768,703 of whom are in the Treasury, 571 in the Government Printing Office and 421 in the Department of the Interior.

Says Republicans Flood Negroes The campaign book quotes extracts from the speeches of acceptance of Taft and Sherman to show that they "stand squarely on the equal justice plank," and in discussing the attitude of the Republican party toward the Negro the campaign managers say: "Prior to the advent of Abraham Lincoln and the Republican party about 4,000,000 Afro-Americans were held in bondage in the Southern Continued Page 4 Col' 2 IN THE LIMELIGHT WOMAN'S COLLEGE SHOULD TRAIN WIVES AND MOTHERS MISS CARO- Mline Hazard, the retiring pres- ident of Wellesley, believes that the main reason for ex- istence that a woman's college has is to fit its students to be good wives, good mothers and home makers. Miss Hazard's statements indicate that she A. B. believes in the training of girls for the practical and domestic side of life. She expresses belief that physical training at college is the best preparation for motherhood. She advocates athletics in women's colleges. She believes that the training of the human body is of paramount importance to a woman, and she declares that it is even more important for a woman than for a man. Says Miss Hazard: "The physical advantages Wellesley offers are one of its most telling points. Some time ago we inaugurated the system of not taking any girl who was afflicted with any organic disease or serious functional disorder. I do not think that we have carried this tendency any too far. I believe that a girl should look first of all to her health. I am strongly in favor of having a stringent test made of a girl's strength before she enters college, much as the young men at Harvard, in competing for a college team, are obliged to pass the strength tests. "There is another phase of education which the adjective 'physical' may in its broadest sense be said to designate. I refer to the household economics. At present there is no course given at the college in this subject, but I am one of those who are strongly in favor of introducing one. This public is beginning to realize that colleges are the best places to fit girls to be good wives, good mothers and home makers. It is no longer considered the place for the exceptional girl who wishes to enter professional life. It has become the training school for the ordinary, everyday girl. "In one way Wellesley may be said to be one great laboratory of economics. All the work of providing food for the 1,800-odd girls and the numerous others is carried on by one woman, much as the commissary department of the army is conducted. This provider calls meetings of the various heads of houses and the food for the whole college is then planned out for some time in advance. It is the same way with the laundry and other facilities. Wellesley college is like a town by itself, or rather, it is like one great household, and nowhere is there a better opportunity for learning how domestic affairs should be conducted. It is to the developments in household economics and in physical training, to sum up, that I should say the growth of Wellesley college during my administration is to be attributed." BOY MUST SHUN GIRLS TO WIN DYRENFORTH FORTUNE THE domestic troubles of Col. Robert St. G. Dyrenforth are reflected in the provisions of the strange will by which his fortune is left to his foster son, Robert St. George Dyrenforth. The instructions in the will especially provide that the THE domestic troubles of Col. Robert St. G. Dyrenforth are reflected in the provisions of the strange will by which his fortune is left to his foster son, Robert St. George Dyrenforth. The instructions in the will especially provide that the boy is not to come under the influence of Mrs. Jennie Dyrenforth, who has lived apart from her husband for the last ten years. He also cautions his heir in the will against Mrs. Rose Marie Knowleton, a daughter, who sled with her mother in the controversy leading up to the legal separation. Colonel Dyrenforth was born in Chicago in 1844 and was graduated from the University of Breslau, Germany, in 1861. From then until 1866 he was in the United States army. He was major of an Illinois regiment and was on the staff of General Rosecrans, General Copeland and General Dodge. As acting engineer he fortified the mouth of the Missouri river in advance of Price's raid in 1864. Under President Grant he was principal patent examiner, and he resigned from the patent office on the accession of President Cleveland. Mr. Dyrenforth has practised as a corporation and patent law ver since 1885. It was his army service that led him, in his will, to choose an army career for his heir, and, in order that the young man's mind be not turned aside, he provided that the executor should guard the boy from feminine influence. The will provides that the executors are to let the boy know "quietly, gradually and impressively, though to no erratic extreme, the indirect, artful and parasitical nature of most of the unfortunate sex, and to take care that he may not marry beneath him." It was Colonel Dyrenforth who got the idea a few years ago that he could produce rain by discharging high explosives in the air, and he experimented extensively. His theory was based on the rainstorms that always spoil a Fourth of July of the unsafe and insane type. The colonel fired off a lot of rockets and other things down in Texas in 1891 to prove his theory and his efforts were followed with a good deal of interest. Nothing definite came from the experiments. CAPTAIN ROSS, HEAD OF THE REVENUE CUTTER SERVICE CAPTAIN Worth Ross, command of the United States revenue cutter service, has rendered great aid in its development. Born on the shores of Lake Erie, at Cleveland, Ohio, he early in life entered the revenue cutter school of instruction as T the distinction of being the first to graduate under the cadet instruction system as it is now known. Not long after his graduation he received a commission as third lieutenant in this important branch of the government service. He was promoted to the rank of first lieutenant in 1885, and during this year was placed in command of the ship Perry on her trip from New York 'round the Horn to San Francisco. In the war with Spain he was an officer on one of the vessels forming the squadron which blockaded Havana. Captain Ross has perhaps experienced his longest periods of sea duty in Alaskan waters, where he was engaged in protecting our fishing and sealing interests, but he has done duty in almost every station within the sphere of the revenue cutter service. He was at New Bedford, Mass., for several years as instructor on the practise ship Chase, and it was in New Bedford that he was married. It was in June, 1905, that Captain Ross was made commandant of the service, and he had no more than entered upon the duties of his new office when a yellow fever epidemic ravaged the Gulf coast. Ross at once assumed command of the fleet of revenue cutters and auxiliary vessels which the government assembled in the vicinity of the outbreak of the scourge, and he vigorously directed the enforcement of quarantine laws and sanitary regulations and measures. While incurring great risks, he fortunately escaped the disease and in due time returned to Washington where he has since given his best thought and energies to the betterment of the service. ORPHAN GOES 8,000 MILES FOR ADOPTION BY TEACHER W. ERNESTE CROWE, the school teacher in the far-off Philippine Islands, who, last January, wrote to Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of schools, asking her to find him a boy whom he might adopt and rear, is to have his longing for com W. ERNEST CROWE, the school teacher in the far-off Philippine Islands, who, last January, wrote to Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of schools, asking her to find him a boy whom he might adopt and rear, is to have his longing for companionship gratified. Fargo Matthews, a 13-year-old Chicago boy, who has been an orphan for eight years, has left Chicago for the Philippines, where he will be formally adopted by Mr. Crowe. Young Mathews was chosen by Mr. Crowe from among 100 applicants, who wrote to him from all parts of the United States. Fargo Mathews is the grandson of the late George W. Mathews. His education was begun at the Todd Seminary in Woodstock, Ill., but three years ago he returned to Chicago and this year he was graduated from the John B. Drake school. He was preparing to enter high school when he received a letter from Mr. Crowe, stating that if he still desired to come to the Philippines he would be furnished transportation by the war department. When he wrote to Mrs. Young Mr. Crowe was located at Mlagao, Panay, P. I., but he has since been promoted and transferred to San Pablo, Laguna, P. I. In his last letter he states that he is now in a better position to give the boy a good home. He will formally adopt Mathews, keep him in the Philippines for about three years and then make a tour of the world before returning to the United States to make his home. Mathws was elated at the prospect of going to a new home and finding a father to replace his dead parents. "I think Mr. Crowe is going to give me a good home and I know I shall be happy over there," he said. "I am not afraid to make the trip alone." Anybody who knew how to invent perpetual youth would be too impractical to make anything out of it. CAKE AS THE FOUNDATION Without Special Pains Being Taken With This Charlotte Russe Will Not Be Success. To make a really delicious charlotte russe prepare, first of all, a very delicious sponge cake after this formula: licious sponge cake after it has been four eggs, beaten separately. Into the beaten yolks beat again one cup of sugar and to this add half a cup of potato flour. Into the flour must previously have been sifted three-fourths of a level teaspoonful cream of tartar and one-fourth teaspoonful of soda, the same of salt. Add, finally, two teaspoonfuls lemon extract and the white of the eggs. Bake in a charlotte russe pan. Remove the center, leaving a hollow shell. Fill this hollow with flavored, sweetened whipped cream or with ice cream, in any flavor liked, or Bavarian cream if available for the purpose. The same cake may be baked in ordinary tins for 45 minutes, when it yields a soft and very light sponge loaf. The LAUNDRY White Floating Soap.—Four quarts fat, any kind will do; two ten-cent cans of lye, and ten quarts of water. Put water in an old boiler, next the fat, then the lye. Let this come to a boil and boil three hours, slowly. When the soap becomes flaky and the liquid looks clear and bolls over the soap, it is ready to skim. Line a wooden box with a piece of wet muslin, skim out soap, and put in the box to drain about 12 hours, and cut in bars. This will make 12 large bars of hard, white soap. It may be used for any kind of washing. Take a little of the soap and press in the hand. If it sticks to the hand and looks greasy, it needs a little more lye, if too flaky, more fat. The liquid can be used for scrubbing. To Remove Iron Rust.—I am a laundress and I iron rusted a fine night dress of a rich bride and was almost frightened to death. I had a basket of tomatoes and I knew the material wouldn't stand anything strong, so I cut a tomato and rubbed each spot and put the gown out in the hot sun for a while and when I went out to see, to my delight the iron rust had disappeared as if by magic, and has been tried often with best results. Ribbon Cookies. Mix fire, after your favorite recipe, a batch of white cookies flavored with lemon. In another dish mix a batch of chocolate cookies, flavoring with vanilla. Roll out chocolate cookies quite thin, then roll out white ones, same as chocolate. Place one on top of the other and roll as jelly roll. Take a sharp knife and cut slices from the roll, turn them over and lay them in baking pan. When cooked they are a delight to the eye as well as the palate. Make molasses cookies, cutting them in strips with sharp knife, about the length and width of lady fingers. When baked and while warm spread with good jelly and press two to gether, making a dainty cookie sandwich. To Hang Skirt. An easy way to hang a skirt when you are making one at home is to lay on the floor a book, the thickness of which is the desired distance of your skirt from the ground. Then put on the skirt, adjust it firmly at the waist, and stand beside the book, so that the material touches or lies over it, and turn slowly around. It is then an easy matter for a second person to turn up the hem or cut off as may be desired at the line indicated by the edge of the book and you will find your skirt perfectly level. Almond Ice Cream. One quart of cream, eight ounces of sugar, four ounces of shelled almonds, one teaspoonful of caramel, one tablespoonful of vanilla extract and four tablespoonfuls of sherry wine. Blanch and roast the almonds, then pound in a mortar to a smooth paste. Put half the cream and the sugar on to boil; stir until the sugar is dissolved, then add the remaining pint of cream and the almonds; stand away to cool; when cold add the caramel, vanilla and sherry. Freeze and pack. Pear Sponge. Cook some small pears, peeled, halved and cored, in a vanilla sirup till quite tender and till sirup is thick. Arrange in a glass dish some lady fingers, wet with a little sherry, lay in the pears; set away to get very cold, and when ready to serve heap whipped cream, sweetened and flavored with vanilla, on the dish. Potato Salad. To one quart of mashed cold potatoes, slice one cucumber, one green pepper, and two small onions, add one-half cupful of chopped celery, two small radishes chopped; mix with mayonnaise dressing and serve on lettuce leaves. New Potato HInt. Don't stain your fingers scraping new potatoes. Put in cold water for a few minutes, then rub with a small piece of burlap or coarse cloth, which gives every particle of skin SAVED BY A WHALE OLD SAILOR TELLS STRANGE STORY OF SEA ADVENTURE. Monster of the Deep Upsets Boats In Which Pirates Were About to Attack Helpless Vessel in the Dark. New York—"It was in the year 1846 that I was bound to the ivory coast on the English brig Plowboy, Captain Scott commander," said an old lake sailor who had spent his early days on a whaler. "She was a dry craft, wool found, but very slow, and, although those were risky days along the heathen coasts, owners of crafts were stingy about arming them for protection. We had two old six pounders, which had been purchased at a sale of condemned ordnance, and ten or a dozen muskets and cutlasses of but little value. "We called at the Canary Islands on our way down the coast, and there we got the cannon out of the hold and mounted them on their carriages. "We got light and baffling winds along the Barbary coast, but were nearing the tropic, when one afternoon an hour before sunset a strange sail was seen standing out from the coast to cut us off. She was also a brig and from the very first sight of her there was no doubt in our minds but that she was a pirate. We altered our course two points to the west, and then began to get ready for her. We had no sooner set about loading the guns than it was found that our cannon balls was all too large for the bore. Not one of them could be made to fit. "This discovery took the courage out of us, and it was only in the hope that we might kill a few of the pirates before we were all sacrificed that we loaded with bolts, pieces of chain and such stuff in place of solid shot. The discharge would be effective at close quarters. "The stranger walked up on us at a rapid rate, and when darkness came on he was not more than four miles away. Our captain went into the rigging with his glass for a long squint, and when he came down he called us aft and said there was no longer any room to doubt. The stranger was a pirate, and there was no hope of escaping him. "At that very moment the wind, which was off the land, began to fall, and ten minutes later we hadn't enough to blow a feather. We could no longer see the stranger owing to the darkness. We knew that he must have lost the wind first, and that he was all of four miles away. If the calm held throughout the night he would have to attack in boats, if at all, and we then stood some show of beat the him off. "Believing that this would be his plan, we made the best preparations possible. "Midnight came and we had heard nothing. The fog was now very thick and every man was listening intently to catch the first suspicious sound, when all of a sudden there was a terrific crash followed by shouts and shrieks. Then another crash, more shouts, and a splash in the water as if an iceberg had rolled over. "From midnight until dawn every man stood at his post. When daylight came we saw the pirate brig about two miles off. Between the two vessels was a lot of wreck stuff, which the captain's glass made out to be the shattered remnants of several small boats. Only four men could be observed aboard the brig, and as the captain was watching them they got into a fight. One was killed, one ran below, and the two men left on the deck got a white cloth from the cabin and sent it aloft in place of a flag. "In about half an hour we got the wind and ran down to her, lowered a boat, and went aboard. I went in the boat and followed the mate on deck, where we were welcomed by two men who spoke English. "One of the men was an Englishman, the sole survivor of an English vessel wrecked on the Barbary coast five years before. The other was an American, who had deserted his ship at the Cape Verde islands three years previously and while making a voyage in a coaster had been captured and spared by the vessel he was now on. The dead man and the one below were native Algerians, as were most of the brig's crew. "On the previous night, when the wind went down, they got out in their boat and towed the brig-about a mile. The entire crew, with the exception of the four men, then armed themselves and the boats set out to attack us. What followed could be pretty safely guessed at. The four boats were in company when a whale struck at least one of them as he came up. He must have thrown this boat many feet in the air. He might then have fallen on the others, or shattered them with a rap of his flukes, but that he destroyed them the evidence was be fore us. "Not a man had escaped, and instead of being captured and forced to walk the plank, as we had reason to expect, we had turned about and captured the piratical craft without firing a shot. She was a fine craft, I can tell you, having over $20,000 worth of plunder aboard, besides being a better vessel than our own. We carried her down to Sierra Leone, where she was delivered over to the authorities, with our claim upon her, and every one of us got a comfortable lump of prize money from the adventure. "She was an English brig which had been captured five years before under Captain Blanco and recorded as lost in a gale." FAULT SOMETIMES IN IRONING When Colore Fade It is a Good Idea to Investigate That Branch of Laundry Work. Fading is often caused by too hot irons. The fading of colored articles is due often not to the washing, but the ironing. Too hot irons are used directly on the material, and this will fade delicate colors more than any amount of washing. The effect is even worse than strong sunlight. Be sure that the article is evenly dampened and that the iron is only hot enough to smooth the wrinkles properly by firm, even pressure, and you will have no more trouble from fading. Skirts must never be ironed across the gores, but up and down; other wise the fit of the garment is ruined. Che home Vegetables that have leaves or foiled stalks should be washed very thoroughly. Spreading a little flour on top of a cake will sometimes prevent icing from running. Bamboo furniture should be rubbed occasionally with a mixture of linseed oil and turpentine, followed by a brisk polish with a soft cloth. A good mixture to set color in cotton materials is one tablespoonful of turpentine, a handful of salt and a pail of cold water. Put goods in over night. Shrink and set color of children's garments before making up. They soil so quickly that it is not worth while to run risks by waiting until afterward. The marks of matches on walls may be cleaned by applying the cut side of a lemon. Then rub the place with whiting and at last scrub with soap and water. When icing runs put it back on stove on top of asbestos mat and stir until proper consistency. This can be done after sirup is added to white of egg. A simple method of keeping butter in warm weather is to invert a large earthenware crock or a flower pot over the'dish containing the butter, wrap the crock with a wet cloth and put a little water in the dish with the butter. The rapid absorption of heat by external evaporation causes the butter to become hard. Dried Haddock. Remove the skin and bones from a cooked haddock and chop the flesh in rather large pieces. Melt one ounce of butter in a frying pan, slice into it one small onion, and fry a golden brown. Cut one-half pound of tomatoes in slices, add to the onion, and cook it together for 20 minutes. Add last of all the fish and a good sprinkling of pepper. Stir over the fire for a few minutes. Have ready one-quarter pound of rice, which has been boiled for a quarter of an hour; arrange a wall of it on a dish, pile the haddock inside and place the tomatoes on the top. Garnish with finely chopped parsley sprinkled over the tomatoes, and serve. Jellied Veal. Wash and cut up two pounds for knuckle of veal. Let it simmer in just enough water to cover the meat until it may easily be removed from the bones; that is, for several hours. Then strain the veal, remove all the pieces of bone and chop very fine. Season with salt and pepper and a little minced thyme. Put the veal back into the liquor and boil again until the liquor is almost reduced. Then add the strained juice of a lemon and turn the whole into a mold. Let stand until quite cold; then put on ice until ready to serve. Bruises In Furniture If the bruise is very small all that is necessary is to soak it with warm water and apply a red-hot poker near the surface, keeping the spot continually wet until the bruise disappears, which will occur in a few moments. For larger bruises or dents wet the part with warm water and double a piece of brown paper five or six times, soak it, lay on the bruise, and then apply on top of the wetted paper a hot flatiron until the moisture has all evaporated. Keep this process up until the surface is level. Brown Bread Puddling Take six ounces of stale brown bread crumbs, six tablespoonfuls of sugar and one cupful of milk; then beat in by degrees the yolks of three eggs and the whites of four, whisked separately; add the strained juice of half a lemon and an ounce of finely chopped citron peel. Fill a buttered mold, cover with buttered paper. Steam steadily for two and a half hours. Serve with a sweet white sauce, flavored with lemon or vanilla extract NEW DISH'S POPULARITY MAY AID IN EXTERMINATION Their Flesh Now Has Market Value Which Helps Naturalists Who Favor Extermination—Chefs Say They Are Good. Washington, D. C.—Extermination of the English sparrow, desired by naturalists for the reason that these birds have in large measure driven out the native song birds, may soon be accomplished, it having been discovered that "sparrow potpie" equals some of the game food served at fashionable cafes. Advance in the cost of living is responsible for the adoption of the English sparrow as a food. In the west and northwest, when the prices of fresh meats reached a point prohibitive to the poorer classes, the suggestion was made that the sparrow as an edible bird possessed merit worthy of consideration. Experiments in serving the sparrow were made, with the result that sparrow potple became popular and attracted attention of restaurant and cafe proprietors, who discovered that the bird could be served not only in potple form, but on toast and in other ways not under the name of sparrow on the menu, but with some high-sounding French title. The dish pleased patrons and at once established its popularity and success. As a result of the popularity of the new dish, it is said that the great droves of English sparrows that have for years been a public nuisance in all of the large cities are being killed in large numbers, the flesh of the birds having a market value which will contribute to their extermination. Those who have partaken of the sparrow potpole and sparrow on toast say it is preferable to the reed bird, the difference in the flavor of the meat of the two birds being imperceptible even by epicureans. The chefs of the local hotels and cafes, while not admitting that the sparrow is being served at their tables, say they can see no reason why an English sparrow should not be as good eating as many of the standard game birds popular with dinners. It was said that while the birds are a little larger than the reed bird, they are tender and possess a good flavor. CHICK SWALLOWS ITS TONGUE Owner Rescues Unruly Member, But the Sick Fowl Dies Not Long Afterward. Lebanon, Pa.—Out in the neighborhood of Buzzard's Glory, this county, ilives a woman who probably knows more about chickens than any other person in the county. She is Mrs. Sarah Sinclaire and she tells of a freakish prank played by one of her own chickens. Seeing the youngster, but a few days old, which she thought by its action was afflicted with a bad case of gapes, she caught it, opened its bill and discovered that the chicken had no tongue. She was very puzzled, but decided to take a chance, so ran a horse hair down its throat and when she pulled it out it brought forth a piece of bread which the chicken had swallowed. The miraculous part of the story is that the bread had become wrapped around the chick's tongue and it had actually swallowed the tongue along with the bread. In a few hours the chick died. DANGER IN THE LARGE HAT It Is Now Declared That Wearing It Tends to Make a Woman Bald. New York.—The gigantic hat is still fashionable in London and Paris, despite the ridicule heaped upon it by masculine critics. A London hair specialist now declares that the big hat is dangerous as well as ridiculous, a London letter to the New York Sun says. He warns women that if they persist in wearing big hats they will lose their hair. The specialist said: "As grass turns yellow under a mushroom, so women's hair will lose its color and deteriorate under the gigantic hats which are now the mode. There is every possibility of the fair sex going bald unless a revolution in hats is effected. hats is enclosed. "First of all, these enormous mountains of millinery shut out the health-giving sun and air. Secondly, they present such vast surfaces to the wind that they tug against the detaining hatpins like a kite on a string. For both reasons they injure the hair." Lightning Flashes Play 1,800 Feet Below the Surface and Light Up Cavern. Pottsville, Pa.—Lightning 1,800 feet below the surface of the earth was witnessed the other evening in the mines in West Schuylkill. When a terrific thunderstorm came up the overheated earth added to the fierceness of the electrical display, and the lightning managed to find its way along the electric power wires to the bottom of the slopes. of the slopes. The underground workings were lituminated and made as bright as the sun at midday; but no damage was done, although a number of mules, which have not seen daylight for years, are believed to have been blinded by the dazzling lights 1 Just a suspicion of the hobbled skirt is shown in this afternoon dress of chiffon voile.

Established 40 Years SPOKANE, WASH. Fighting Forest Fires. Officials of the United States department of agriculture are of the opinion that 1910 will hold the record among many years for the severity of the losses from forest fires. The summer fires followed the spring season, believed to have been the worst, certainly in the Lake States, known for a long time. Nor is it wise to assume that the danger is over when the fierce conflagrations which have called forth in the Mountain States the efforts of three federal departments have been conquered. The forests will not be safe until the fall rains and snows have once more made a wet blanket of the dry forest floor. That the total losses of the year will run up to many millions of dollars is considered certain. tons of training. How such losses may be prevented is a matter of general public concern. To the national forest timber burned must be added great amounts of state and private holdings, besides the immense damage done to town, farm and other property. Railroads have suffered from the interruption of traffic, as well as from direct losses. The principles of fighting forest fires are essentially the same as those recognized in fighting fires in cities. The following are of first importance: (1) Quick arrival at the fire; (2) an adequate force; (3) proper equipment; (4) a thorough organization of the fighting crew, and (5) skill in attacking and fighting fires. Quick access to fires is accomplished through the work of supervision and patrol in discovering fires before they have gained much headway and by a well-developed system of communication through the forest by roads and trails.

A MAN OF ACTION By DONALD ALLEN (Copyright, 1910, by Associated Literary Press.) The afternoon tea was over, and the widow Chalmers sat down to think. There had been present Mr. Charles Montague. He loved to be called Charlie. He spoke with a drawl. He was always bored. He hadn't ambition enough to throw one of his numerous creditors downstairs. And there was Philip Manchester. He had a studio used for smoking alone, and he was waiting for his aunt to die and leave him a hundred thousand and dollars. He was a languisher. And Capt. Noble had put his hand on his heart and started to propose to her, and was stopped only by a second cup of tea. He belonged to the Horse Marines, or some other military body, and was extremely proud of his drooping mustache. Also, there was Reggy Pendergast, the society pet. He wrote sonnets and stole poems. He cultivated a lisp and a blush. He always held some one's poodle dog in his lap when he sat down, and the ladies spoke admiringly of his eccentricity. And there was— But what was the use? There was only one gentleman present worth remembering, and he had vexed her a little by his attitude. He had scarcely paid her a compliment. He hadn't come and dawled and departed, but had remained less than half an hour. He hadn't chummed with the dawdlers. He had betrayed no eccentricity. She couldn't remember who had brought him, but she had liked his face and the little he said. Franklin was the name he had given— Worth Franklin. There were a dozen chaps who would have given a dollar or two to be assured that the widow Chalmers remembered them after their departure from one of her teas. She was on the right side of thirty, handsome, and rich, and not at all understood by society. Society picked out this one and that one for her to marry, and he was a dawdler. He was a ladies' tea man. He was a talked of small talk. He had eccentricities and a drawl. She was given credit for a fat bank account, good looks and a good figure, but her nature was supposed to be frivolous. She could sign a check, but was not supposed ever to have heard of the tariff or cold storage. And the widow recalled the face of Worth Franklin and somehow felt glad that he had called in and towered over ```markdown ``` It Was Furious. the other men. And when she thought of the silliness and the foppery and the hypocrisy of it all she wrote out a telegram to her dear friend, Mrs. Lee, down in the country, and said she was coming to visit her, and would be there on the evening train next day. Mr. Worth Franklin was an architect just getting a foothold. He had ambition, earnestness and perseverance, but nothing in bank and no old aunts to leave him a legacy. A citizen down at Glendale wanted a modest little skyscraper, and some one told him of Mr. Franklin, and he wrote to him to come down. The architect telegraphed in reply, and so it was electricity as well as steam that landed him and the widow at the village depot together. They did not occupy the same car coming down, and as both were bundled up for stormy weather they did not recognize each other when they got off. And the weather, which had been threatening all day to play high finks, broke with a blizzard and things began to howl. There was no carriage from Mrs. Lee's; no man who wanted a skyscraper! The other passengers struck out for their homes and were lost to sight, and the architect and the widow found themselves in a box. At least the depot agent looked at them and grinned and said: "No hacks for the hotel tonight. No hacks for anywhere. Telephone has gone dead, it's going to snow all night, and you will have to sit here by the stove till morning." The agent was working for $45 per month, with no chance to make anything on the outside, and had lost $3 at poker the night before, and he took pleasure in making the announcement most It was when the widow exclaimed, "Oh, dear, but what shall I do?" that the architect recognized her voice and reintroduced himself. She was glad to see him and shoo hands heartily. She felt right away that something would be doing. "Fill up this stove!" he commanded, as he turned to the agent. He was grudgingly obeyed, but at the same time asked if he thought he was running that railroad. "And now what's the matter with your telephone? Ah, I see. A boy ten years old could fix it in five minutes. There's a livery stable in town of course. What's the number?" "It's 432, but you won't get no hack. The man is drunk and his driver has quit." Ring! Ring! Ring! No answer. "But you won't go out in this storm?" said the widow as the architect turned up his coat collar. "Back in half an hour," he replied as he passed out. Yes! the owner of the only public stables in the town was asleep in his own barn. He was locked in, but the door was pried open. He woke up and objected and was flung into a stall. A horse was led out, harnessed to a cutter, and the drunken man objected again. This time he was pitched into the snow. In forty minutes Mr. Franklin drove up to the depot. It was snowing and blowing, and it was the horse who found the way. "And now for Mrs. Lee's." "But—but I don't know the way. All I know is that it's about a mile away." I know is that it's about a mile away." The agent had gone across the road to stand up to declare that the rich were growing richer and the poor poorer, and that the life blood was being ground out of him, when some one entered and grabbed him by the arm and demanded to know where Mrs. Lee lived. "Never heard of her," he replied as he saw that it was the architect. "Then you'd better get posted at once. Come on!" And Mr. Franklin ran him across the street and into the depot and up to Mrs. Chalmers, and said: "Tell the lady where Mrs. Lee lives, and tell her quick!" "Bout a mile up the road, on the right hand side. Big trees in front." "Thanks. I can find it." "Bet you can't, not in this storm, and if you get froze to death—" But the widow and the architect were already passing out into the storm. It was furious. The horse must be left to take his own gait. He took it and brought up at the livery stable. The drunken owner awoke and objected, but the equine was turned around, the gad applied. This time he started for somewhere. He was half way there, and he was going along with his eyes shut when he stumbled and fell. "And now we are surely lost!" cried the widow. Mr. Franklin jumped out and had the old nag on his four legs in two minutes. Twenty rods farther on an abandoned wagon was found across the road, and the old horse crashed into it and sat down. Mr. Franklin rolled it aside into the ditch, assisted the horse to stand, and in ten minutes more he was making the doorbell at the Lee mansion ring all kinds of joyous sounds. When the door was opened he stood there with a snow woman in his arms, and having rendered her to friends he called a good night and returned to the horse. Next day, while he was talking with the man who wanted the modest skyscraper, a note was handed him. It asked the man of action if he would kindly call somewhere and receive somebody's thanks. He called and he was thanked, and if such little romances don't lead to admiration, love and engagements what does become of them? VERY MODEST SCHOOL MA'AM No Doubt She Meant Well, but Super- Intendent Overruled Her Ideas as "Bosh." Miss Anna Sayre, principal of the Lincoln primary school of Newark, N. J., believes that modesty is the crowning virtue of woman and that its principles cannot be inculcated too early. Therefore, she forbade little girls to come to school during the hot weather without gulmpes in their dresses, and would not allow the little boys to attend without collars. "I have tried to teach modesty in the schoolroom," she says. "I deemed dresses cut six inches low front and back decidedly immodest and indecent. We cannot start too early to teach modesty in dress nowadays. My Ideas may seem old fashioned, but if it is old fash- ioned to teach morals I am glad to be so termed." Miss Sayre's order against low dresses on her six and seven-year-old charges caused much indignation among Newark mothers. The order was disobeyed by many, and the insubordinate ones were kept after school and made to write "gulme" on the blackboard until their little hands were tired. Then the mothers appeared to Superintendent of Schools Poland. Being a man, he took a man's view of the subject. "Bosh!" he remarked tersely. "Let em wear gulpsm or not, as they like. What difference does it make, anyway?" The boys had practically the same experience. Seeing how comfortable the little girls looked in their low-necked dresses, the boys doffed their collars for all. Another appeal to Mr. Poland resulted in the same ruling as in the case of the girls. Those Questions. Wadsworth (at the telephone)— Hello, is this main 3967? Voice at the Other End—Yes, who are you?

LOUIS ARCHITECT'S HELPER TELLS HOW IT FEELS. Odd Things Came to His Mind as He Thought He Would Surely Fall From Tall Building. St. Louis, Mo.—Have you ever faced death? Do you know what it means to be confronted by the grim destroyer, what great peril will do to your nervous system? Probably you have had some close calls in your day and know something of the emotions of a person who thinks his time has come. If not, the following incident related by George Bush of this city may give you an idea of the thrill of facing death: "Being an architect's assistant, it was my duty to measure buildings which were to be altered or enlarged, and one windy day I went to see one of these, which was a three-story and basement brick house with the usual area and railings in front of it. Adjoining this was a little higher building and it was necessary for me to get the exact dimensions of the brick wall and chimney that projected above the roof of the house I was measuring. "I found a very large and heavy skylight in the attic, which required all my strength to push up and out to open. It was held open by a pivoted stick of wood and by climbing through the opening I saw that I could stretch myself out on the roof and by holding fast to the edge of the skylight opening with my right hand I could reach out with my left and measure the gable wall with my six-foot folding rule. "I was sprawled out in this manner, face down on the slate roof, with my left arm and the rule extended at full length, when I suddenly became conscious that the wind had shaken the skylight loose from the stick that held it open and that it was falling shut. If I did not withdraw my hand instantly it would catch and crush it. If I pulled my hand out I would fall. "When I first noticed that the support had given way the skylight had already begun its descent and it had not more than four feet to fall. During the time that it fell three four feet I had ample time to review the consequences of losing my right hand if I held on and the result of falling three stories if I let go. There was nothing at the edge of the roof but a little half-round gutter held up by a few holdfasts. "It occurred to me that it might be possible to pull out my right hand and insert my left, as it would be better to lose my left hand than my right. I also discussed with myself the possibility of being able to hold my place if I withdrew two or three fingers and sacrificed the others; but I concluded that they would probably be cut clean off by the edge of such a heavy skylight and that I should slide down to the street anyway. "This idea of the insufficiency of mangled fingers to support my weight on such a sloping roof suggested that it might be better to stick my arm into the opening and that perhaps the injury to it might not be so severe as to require amputation. I distinctly remembered trying to recall whether the muscles should be firm or relaxed, and thought it best to hold them firm." "As well as I can remember, the outcome of my deliberations was a determination to change hands and to sacrifice the left instead of the right. I had no sooner come to this conclusion than it struck me that there would not be time to make the change and that I might lose my hold altogether. It seemed to me that I had already changed my opinion as to the respective merits of the two hands at least a dozen times. "All this time, remember, the skylight was falling shut. As I look back at it it seems incredible that I did not spend at least half an hour thinking over the pros and cons of the situation, but it must have been less than a fifth of a second. My final resolve was a determination to hold on, as there was no time to change hands, and to trust to the shreds of my mangled fingers to hold me on the roof." "But when the crash came and the skylight actually fell shut my hand was not in the opening. I was sliding down the roof on my way to the street below. "The edge was at least ten feet below me and I was gaining speed at every foot. "I distinctly remember the railing around the area and also the absence of any cornice on the eave of the roof—nothing but a rusty old drip gutter. The thing I could not remember, although I made desperate efforts to do so, was whether or not that area railing had spikes in it. "I knew I should fall directly upon those railings and the spikes bothered me. The minuteness with which I recalled everything about the house—its number, the alterations that were made in it, the sketches we had prepared, the new ideas we had talked over—all these things were reviewed in the effort to recall in connection with one or other of them something that would answer the question. Were there spikes on that railing or not? "I suddenly became conscious that I was no longer sliding down the roof. It was exactly like waking out of a dream. I then realized that my toes, in dropping over the edge of the slates, had caught on the little half-round iron gutter. "In another minute the skylight was pushed up by people who had heard the crash and come up to see what was the matter. They soon hauled me to a place of safety."

H. Harris a strong second, Jake Lissner, democratic candidate for the legislature also happened to be present and addressed the boys. It is said that his remarks as to why he barred the colored boys from playing pool at his place brought forth great applause and approval from the crowd. Liquid refreshments was present in sufficient quantities. Walter Lee, sick man, Jim Isabell, E. Johnson, Stack, W. Harris, H. Palmer, Tweddie Stafford and others were there most of them superintending things. The secretary, M. Nelson, got so nervous or probably from the effects of the good things he partood, or from the effects of Dan Knox's ortory, got his copy so tangled up that the next mornings paper had the meeting held at the Broadway Pantatorium. The proprietor of that place promptly denied the same in the evening's paper and others whose names they claimed he was not authorized to put down were tumbling over one another to get their names off the list the next morning. The Plaindealer man was late arriving on the scene having attended another meeting for this reason we cannot give all the details. But to be fair they had a good crowd and claimed that they will cut some ice in the pending campaign, and they also say that is not a Get the Money Club as one of the promoters designated it.

Cloored Americanns Cain Continued from page 1 States, then, as now, controlled by the Democrats, and when the Republican party eelcted Lincoln President thus setting the stamp of disapproval upon the Democritis desires, these Democratic Southern States seceded from the Union and attempted to set up a Confederacy, with human slavery as the chief cornerstone. "The Republican party determined that the Confederacy should be destroyed; that the Union should be preserved; and true to its principles and in keeping with his own declarations, the Great Emancipator struck the shackles from the limbs of the bondmen. Following the freedmen of the slaves came their enlistment in the army and navy, and by this act the names of 200,000 Afro-Americans were added to the honor roll. The leaders of the Republican party, feeling that their work was far from completed, framed and passed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth安 endments and the States ratified their action, thus making slavery impossible and confirming the civil and political rights of the Afro-American people.

President Diaz has refused to accept the life membership voted him by the International Sunday School convention. The president says in part: 'When a people like the Americans draw the color line on black people and I accept membership, with my republic full of black men who are manning our railroads, army and national industries? I would be unfit to make laws for any people. The black man has rights and privileges in Mexico that the world must respect, and I will not wash my hands by accepting a membership into that association which seeks to enslave my fellowman.
