Capehart, were the attorneys for the defense in the famous black hand cases tried at Fairmont, W. Va., a few years ago. Other attorneys for the defense were ex-Congressman Burk of Pennsylvania and Judge E. F. Morgan, now Governor of West Virginia.
Mr. Free did not enter the race for Recorder of Deeds, he was originally endorsed by the McDowell County Chored Republican Organization for Assistant United States District Attorney and was put in the Recorder ship race by the West Virginia Congressional delegation.

Four hours per day Ernest spends with a private tutor learning the rudiments of the "three R's", and spends from four to six hours a day at the Roach studios, turning out a picture a week. Ernest's father and his 6-year-old sister, Florence, assist him occasionally in the pictures.

TUSKEGEE PRINCIPAL
GIVES GREAT HELP
Dr. Moton Gives $100 to Anti-Lynch Fund—His Second Donation to This Important Cause
New York, Feb. 24—Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, has given $100 to the anti-lynching fund of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, it was announced today at the Association's headquarters, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. The donation came in response to an appeal sent out by the Association for funds to help in the fight to make the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill a law. This is the second donation of $100 which Dr. Moton has made.
James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the Advancement Association, paid a tribute to Dr. Moton for the services he rendered at a critical moment before the Dyer Bill had passed the following musical numbers: Johnson's "The Awakening," by Wilhelmina B. Patterson, soprano, teacher of singing at Hampton; Buck's "Fear Not Ye, O Iseal," by Paige I. Lancaster, former first lieutenant with "the Buffaloes"; and Dett's "Incantation," by R.

A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS
THE REV. JOHN BALERT WILLIAMS. Editor
HAITIANS OPPOSE AMERICAN CONTROL OF CITIZENSHIP
Vigorously Protest the Appointment By the American Government of High Commissioner for the Islanders.
OPPOSE A $14.000.000 LOAN
Considered as an Adroit Scheme to Hold Control of Haiti in Perpetuity, is Claim of Dr. Hudicourt, Haitian Representative
Washington, Feb. 24—Protesting that the appointment by the American government of a high commissioned in Haiti, as suggested by the special Senate committee which is investigating conditions in that country, would amount to placing that country under a protectorate, Dr. Pierre Hardi court of Port au Prince, told the committee at hearings last week that the Haitians would not recognize the right of this country to interfere with their independence.
"You delivered Cuba from Spain and can impose conditions upon her," he asserted. "But Haitians have their own birthright to be free, not won by the sword with the assistance of the United States."
Dr. Hudicourt insisted that the United States had "destroyed Haitian freedom" and had "imposed despotism and terror." The United States recognized Haitian independence in the treaty of 1915, he continued, stating that the treaty had proved a "failure" and predicting that appointment of the high commission would also be a failure.
Oppose $14,000,000 Loan
The people of Haiti protest against the proposed loan of $14,000,000 which has been suggested by the American government, he said, quoting the President and other officials of his country as unwilling to place themselves under the "grip" which such a loan would give this country. Senator Pomerene, Democrat, Ohio, suggested that conditions in Haiti required financing, and Dr. Hudicourt replied that his country did need outside capital, but would refuse to accept it under any conditions that would impose foreign pressure. The witness read a cablegram printed in Haitian newspapers declaring that unless the Haitian government consented to a loan the salaries of the officials $p$ of that country would be stopped and stated that the people resented such efforts to force them into agreements they opposed. Such a loan would run for more than forty years he explained, and should it be made, would, in his judgment, give the United States an excuse for continuing occupation until it was paid. "This loan is a plan definitely to hold control of Haiti in perpetuity," he declared.
Oppose Military Man
An emphatic protest was lodged with the committee by Dr. Hudicourt against the appointment of a military officer as high commissioner in Haiti. He stated that the special committee had recommended the appointment of a civilian as commissioner and that the Haitian people, while objecting to any ocmissioner, were particularly opposed to having their affairs placed in the hands of a military officer. Dr. Hudicourt explained that he had been informed that "a brigadier-general" was to be appointed.

WANTS AMERICAN HISTORIANS TO GIVE CREDIT WHERE DUE
William Pickens Respectfully Calls Attention to Fact that Part Played by Race Has Not been Recorded
New York City, Feb. 20.—William Pickens of the M. A. A. C. P. appeared at an investigation in New York recently on the rewriting of history books. The following account of Mr. Pickens' testimony before the commissioner of Accounts of New York is taken from the New York World:
William Pickens of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People made a plea that the part played by Negroes be included in American history.
"I went through public school," he said, "and graduated from Yale and was a grown man before I ever learned that it was a black man who shot Major Pitcairn at Bunker Hill, or that one man out of every ten at the Battle of Lake Erie was black, or that in the War of 1812 there were many black men behind the American parapet of cotton bales, or that George Washington had hundreds of Colored soldiers, or that Abraham Lincoln said that without 200,000 black troops on the Northern side they never would have won.
"For the sake of good feeling between black and white that is essential, I want our histories to show the part that Colored soldiers played in the great war."
The Rev. W. H. Wilkinsen, missionary of the Nebraska Baptist Convention was in the city Sunday from Norfolk. He preached Sunday morning at Zion Baptist church and at Council Bluffs in the evening. He left the city Monday for Beatrice, Fairbury and Hastings.

MILLIONS OF RACE LIVE IN MOUNTAINS OF THE SOUTHLAND
West Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee Contain Many Sturdy Mountain Dwellers of the Colored People.
STRONGHOLDS OF ILLITERACY
Educational Opportunities Greatly Limited—Traveling School Only Means of Carrying Education—Newspapers Scaree.
Washington, Feb. 24.—Over one million Negroes live in the mountains of North Carolina, West Virginia and Tennessee, declared Prof. Harrison Hough, of Morgan College, before the Industrial Educational association.
"It is most fitting," said Prof. Hough, "that a discussion of the mountaineer should take place on this day—the day when the world pays homage to one of the greatest men who ever lived. Abraham Lincoln—the mountaineer of Kentucky.
"I have talked with and worked among hundreds of mountain Negroes. I have found them to be truly Americans. But they have not the facilities for culture and education that is necessary to the highest development. I have seen handsome young men and beautiful young women, 18, 25 and 30 years of age who could neither read nor write their own names.
There are Negroes in the mountains who have never seen a newspaper; have never heard the names of Dr. DuBois, Kelly Miller, Booker T. Washington or Paul Lawrence Dunbar. There are Negroes in the mountains who cannot tell you the name of the President of the United States or the Governor of their respective states. But I have found them to be kind-hearted, generous and eager to get information and knowledge.
No where will you find a more hopeful group than the mountain Negro. They are willing to help themselves but they don't know how. It is up to us to show them the way and to aid them while they are struggling to master the fundamentals of a modern civilization.
"The same stuff that was in Lincoln is in some of our mountain Negroes. We may yet have to turn to another mountaineer this time a Negro, to bring about the second emancipation, the fruits of which shall be the New Freedom.
Professor Hough described the traveling school of Miss Mary Moore located at Hidnight, North Carolina. The main building, he said, is located in a small town, but the three teachers go out on foot and horseback to teach small groups in all of the surrounding country.

MISS ELIZA COPPAGE WINS NEW FRIENDS
Interprets Effectively Eugene Brieux "The Letter of the Law"
Hampton, Va., Feb. 24—Miss Eliza Coppage, who received her elementary, high school and normal training in the Norfolk Mission College, and her training as an elocutionist in the Williams School of Expression and Dramatic Art at Ithaca, N. Y., recently gave a monologue interpretation, in three scenes, of Eugene Brieux's "The Letter of the Law," which is a tragic al play, for the benefit of the Colored Community House of Hampton, in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, to a large and representative audience. Her finished work showed her ability to interpret at least eight characters in one dramatic reading. She won the appreciation of men and women who are interested in the art of oral interpretation.
Miss Coppage also included in her dramatic recital Gilbert Parker's "The Going of the White Swan," Dunbar's "The Ladies' Aid" and Willis' "The Wild White Rose."
Miss Coppage was assisted by three members of the Hampton Institute staff of workers who furnished the House of Representatives.
"Dr. Moton telepraphed to Tuskegee for valuable material which was used in the debate on the bill," said Mr. Johnson "and used his personal influence with several representatives to induce them to take an interest in the Dyer Bill. On behalf of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People I wish to thank Dr. Moton, not only for his generous gift, but for his effective aid to the cause in Washington."

SEVERAL SENATORS AGREE TO SUPPORT ANTI-LYNCHING BILL
Lodge, Calder, Moses, Sutherland and Watson of Indiana Have Frankly Committed Themselves to Vote for the Dyer Bill

Speedy Passage by the
Upper House
New York, Feb. 24.—Leading
Republican Senators have promised their
support for the Dyer Anti-Lynching
Bill, which has already been passed
by the House of Representatives, accordi-
ng to announcement made by the
National Association for the Advancement
of Colored People. Among those
those whose support is pledged are
Senators William M. Calder of New
York, Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, George H. Moses of New
Hampshire, Howard Sutherland of
West Virginia, James E. Watson of
Indiana.
In a letter to the Advancement
Association, Senator Lodge writes::
"I have always been in favor of do-
ing everything possible to put an end
to the lawless and hideous business
of lynching and expect of course to
support the anti-lynching bill when it
comes before the Senate."
"I wish to say that as Chairman on the Committee of Resolutions. I helped secure the incorporation of the anti-lynching plank in the Republican National platform. I am in favor of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill which has already passed the House of Representatives and will gladly support it in the Senate."
Senator Calder writes: "I shall be glad to vote for the Anti-Lynching Bill____."
Senator Moses says: "My purpose has been to vote for the Dyer Bill when it comes to the Senate." and Senator Sutherland writes: "I expect to support this measure as I am sure all law-abiding citizens want to abolish lynching crimes in this country." Senator Frank B. Willis of Ohio promises the Dyer Bill his "most friendly and earnest consideration."
The Advancement Association has called a mass meeting in the Town Hall, New York, on the night of March 1st, at which the Senate is to be memorialized on the subject of the Dyer Bill. The Hon. George W. Wickersham, former Attorney General of the United States, and Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri, who introduced the bill in Congress, are to be the chief speakers.

PATCHING UP KING'S SPEECH
Serious Omission Recently Gave British Parliamentary Authorities a "Bad Fifteen Minutes."
William Cobbett, who used to complain of the bad grammar and the indifferent English of the king's speeches to parliament, surely never contemplated the omission which marked the king's speech at the opening of the recent session. The speech itself was remarkably short—139 words all told—and it came to a sudden stop without the usual invocation of God's blessing on the labors of parliament. When the king had departed, the officials were horrified at the omission; and hastily sent up a verbal addition to the press. Some of the newspapers used it and some did not. Nor was this all, for when the lord chancellor in the house of lords and the speaker in the house of commons read out the speech at the afternoon sitting, the invocation was there, but the words were different from those supplied earlier in the day. The secret history of all these changes would make interesting matter for a modern Pepys.
Future Monarch Reared Simply.
In an article describing the training of the fourteen-year-old prince of the Asturias, King Alfonso's heir, the Madrid Heraldo says he is being brought up in the atmosphere of home life that his parents love. Queen Victoria, as well as King Alfonso, dislikes all forms of ceremonial, and the prince is being trained as simply as possible. He has many tutors with whom he visits factories, dockyards, engineering works, newspaper offices, museums and all centers of culture and activity. The customs of the Spanish court have prevented him from entering a university or military college, but he will probably be sent later on to a military academy. The prince is fair with blue eyes, and for this reason he has the appearance of a "foreigner," for Spain is a country of dark-eyed people. But those who speak of his foreign appearance maintain that he is thoroughly Spanish. He speaks English and French fluently and takes an active interest in science and art—London Daily Mail.

Lent begins next Wednesday. This is a period of forty days, forty-six days, to be exact, during which the majority of Christian people throughout the world, in commemoration of Christ's forty days fasting and temptation, give themselves up, more or less earnestly, to special services of penitence and devotion, for the deepening and cultivation of their spiritual life. It were folly to believe that so many millions would observe such a season of penitence, prayer and devotion if it did not have some real value and were really worth while. Nor would it have held such a tenacious grip upon the hearts and consciences of so many millions through the ages; for it must not be forgotten that Lent has a historic background reaching back through the centuries to the primitive days of the Christian religion. It is true that there were in the early days differences as to the length of the season, and a considerable period between the commencement of its observance and the authoritative settlement of its exact duration. But the fact that Tertullian, who wrote about A. D. 175, and Eusebius and Socrates, early church historians who wrote only a half century later, mention the forty day fast is an indication of its early settlement. The fact however remains that for many centuries throughout Christendom the Lenten season has been observed with helpfulness by millions of earnest souls who desired to rise to a higher plane of spiritual life. To those who honestly and sincerely enter into its observance and persevere in their endeavors it cannot help but prove beneficial. Intensive work for a given period along any line inevitably gives good returns. Lent aims at a given period of intensive work along spiritual lines and must prove correspondingly beneficial. Of course, people who merely play at "keeping Lent", obtain the same results as those who play at or make believe that they are doing anything else that is serious or worth while. Lent holds an important place in Christian thought and practice.
LEGISATIVE REPRESENTATION
LEGISATIVE BEHAVIOR
HAS been many years since our
people have had a representative in the Nebraska Legislature. Our population was then about one-third of what it is now. Dr. M. O. Ricketts was acknowledged to be one of the ablest members of the House and served with ability and acceptability. But he has had no successor. The Republican party in Nebraska, taking counsel of its fears, did not deem it expedient to nominate or honestly support a colored man. Those at the

head of party affairs opposed it and yet we continue to support the party nominees. The time has come for us to nominate and elect one of our own people to the Legislature. By the redistricting made by the last Legislature, the Ninth Legislative District, which nominates and elects its own representative, embraces nearly all of the Second Ward and part of the Third in which the great majority of our people live, hundreds of whom are property owners and tax payers. Now the Monitor believes that some competent, representative citizen living within this district should be sought out, urged to file, and be unitedly supported for the Legislature.
LIVING OFF THEIR WITS
WE, as a people, have a heavy liability in the wholly disproportionate number of idlers and sports unfortunately identified with our group, who live off their wits or by gambling. We wish it were possible to make these young men and many of their seniors who are old enough to know better and do better, realize what a heavy burden they are placing upon the race. In all large cities this element is found. Something constructive should be attempted to convert this liability into an asset.

Damaged Replica of Old Vessel, It Is Believed, Can Be Repaired by Sailors.
Percy C. Madeira, Philadelphia coal marmate, has joined the ranks of those who have taken up the rud of collecting ship models. Madeira's experience with the first model he bought, a replica of the American clipper ship Southern Cross, was an interesting one, according to the New York Sun. This miniature ship, 30 inches long, the coal operator obtained recently through an agent at Nantucket, who considered the purchaser lucky in getting a ginoline model at a reasonable figure.
The model, with all masts and other spars in place and with rigging, blocks, boats, etc., as they should be, was a handsome picture when it was packed for shipment at Nantucket.
But when the fragile model reached Madira's home it came out of the packing case nearly wrecked. It had been poorly packed and roughly handled on the trip. Madira looked at the mass of broken spars and wreckage and said things about the packer and also the agent at Nantucket. He figured the model little better than matchwood and that it never could be repaired.
He reckoned, however, without the United States navy. He happened to tell his troubles to a naval officer stationed at League island and soon afterward the officer rang the coal magnate up and said he thought he had a man who could repair the wreck.
GET LINE ON HIS CHARACTER
New Fad Among the Girls is to Have Man Friend's Handwriting Read by Graphologist.
The latest fad of the girls is to have the handwriting of their favorite man friend read by a graphologist. Neat little packets of masculine notes, curiously enough readdressed in a feminine hand, have been received by handwriting experts, who will tell your character from a few characteristic lines. The innest secrets of the character tendencies of the unsuspecting man upon whom you are wondering whether to center your affections or not are disclosed to you through this novel means.
"It's so exciting that I simply can't wait till I get a note from every man I meet," confessed one debutante. "One letter will do in a pinch, but most handwriting fortune tellers prefer to have several, written at long intervals apart, submitted as samples. But, goodness me! nowadays friendships don't always last that long. There are only two things dangerous to the game—one is that the man may get suspicious and stop writing, or, worst of all, he may get his own letters back from the graphologist by mistake. For this reason always be sure to remove all traces of name and address from your original letter."—Chicago Journal.
What He Thought About It
What He Thought About It
It was a beautiful summer night. My little boy and I sat on the balcony and looked off into space where thousands of tiny points of light hung like jewels. Donald was silent, and as I wondered how the beauty of the scene affected him, I finally inquired: "Of what does it remind you son?" "Why, it's just like an old tin pan punched full of holes."—Chicago Herald and Examiner.

Owls in Old University City.
Owls, as is proper in the case of birds of such renowned solemnity and secluded habit, have always exhibited a particular liking for Oxford university. Recently they have established a new colony in the tvy-covered walls of the Bodleian library and the Tower of the Five Orders, in the Old Schools quadrangle. Members of the library staff now occasionally find relaxation from their duties by rescuing the young birds which find their way down to the pavement of the quadrangle and are unable to fly up to their nests.
Frugal to the End
An old woman known for her mills merely habits was on her deathbed. She had not long to live. Presently her lips moved, and her daughter beet over her to catch the last words, "Blow out that stump of candle," whispered the old woman. "I can see to die in the dark."
Baby's Cries Legal
A judge of the city court of Buffalo has ruled that thecries of a baby are no legal reason for ousting a tenant of an apartment house. The only reason the complainant could give was that the walls of the infant "got on her nerves."
For Guestroom Door
A thoughtful touch in the furnishing and decorating of the guestroom is the addition of a knocker on the doo. There are many quaint flowered ones designed, which are as dainty as they are practical.
Glory of Civilization
Public charities and benevolent associations for the gratitudious relief of every species of distress are peculiar to Christianity; no other system of civil or religious policy has originated them; they form its highest praise and characteristic feature—Colton.

THE MONITOR
In England during the eighteenth century there were no makers of toys of the better class and for the children of the wealthy the silversmiths made toys of solid silver, while Sheraton and Chippendale made doll furniture in exact miniature reproduction of the things they made for the palaces and the drawing rooms of the socially elect. Toy parachutes, the forerunners of the American toy balloon; lead soldiers, cast flat and thin and little more interesting than the flat wooden dolls of the Egyptians of 2160 B. C.; cheap mechanical toys and dolls of fanciful design but little beauty belonged to the time of King James L.
Mandolin Supplanted Lute
Mandolin Supplanted Lute.
An aristocratic musical instrument, still found, but very popular in the middle ages was the lute. At the present day its direct descendant—the mandolin has all but entirely supplanted it. The lute is the 'ud of the Moors, even in its very name—el-ud which means merely "the wood." It was introduced by the Saracens at the time of the invasion. From Spain it gradually spread over Europe, as also did its contemporaries the "gittern" and "reebec." All three were favorite instruments in medieval Europe.
Origin of Siang Term
"chaff," as a song phrase, refers to the throwing of chaff instead of birdseed to allure birds, and consequently we get the phrase an old bird is not caught with chaff, that is a wise man, with all his wits about him, is not to be defended by humbug. But "you are chaffing me," springs from an entirely different source. Here the reference is to the French word chauffeur to cook, chaff to vex, and the English expression still survives in the phrase to "ronst" a person, which does not necessarily mean to cook him, although he may be heated.
Afraid of the Classics
A farce comedy recently opened in New York with the title "The Merchant of Venus!" The critics praised it and it was apparently destined for a long run, but despite the fact it was in the smallest theater in town very small audiences came. The manager discovered that people thought it was a burlesque of a Shakespearean play. He changed the name to "Because of Helen!" and the theater was filled every night thereafter.—Atlanta Constitution.
Gratitude.
A clerk employed behind the counter at a post office in the south of England recently rescued a young girl from drowning. In order to show their appreciation of the young man's bravery, local residents have now decided to purchase their stamps at his post office.—London Punch.

A House of Hearts.
A "hearty" home is that of the wife of a doctor in California. The tables, chairs, etc., in fact, all the furniture of the peculiar house are heart-shaped! The owner's bed has a heart-shaped headboard supported on both sides by bedposts carved to represent Cupid's arrow. The heart-shaped headboard is decorated with a heart-shaped picture frame in which two angels embrace each other! The remarkable house is named the "Pericardium," which means the membrane enclosing the heart and the great blood vessels.

LINCOLN HAPPENINGS
Rev. A. J. McAlister and his members received two thousand dollars from the late B. L. Payne estate, for which the Ladies' Aid Society arranged and gave a program in the basement of the church on last Tuesday night. Quite a few were in attendance and all had a social good time.
Rev. J. S. Payne and Mrs. Payne were visitors in the city this week. Rev. Payne is presiding elder over the Kansas City district conference, with headquarters at Kansas City, Missouri.
Rev. Frederick Divers, the newly appointed presiding elder of the Kansas and Nebraska District Conference, was present at the quarterly meeting at A. M. E. church last Sunday, and preached Sunday morning and night. Communion services were held at the morning service.
There was a union meeting held at 2 p. m., and Rev. H. W. Botts of Mt. Zion Baptist church preached. His words were well taken by the good congregation present. Quarterly conference was held on Monday night.
Rev. W. A. McClendon returned home from the south last Tuesday. He relates a pleasant trip.
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Westbury returned from a visit with friends at St. Joseph, Mo.
Mrs. O. W. Ferguson, Mrs. Fanny Young and Mrs. Jennie Johnson were in attendance at the Dunbar celebration at Beatrice last Friday night. The affair was given by the "Do As You Please" Club of that city.
Mrs. M. Vannel and others were leaders of a surprise party given Mr. M. Williams at their home, 1139 Rose St., last Tuesday night. It was in honor of Mr. Williams' 71st birthday and he felt proud of his many friends who spent a pleasant evening with him and his good wife.
Mr. Marion Thompson entertained the Mission at his home last Tuesday night.
Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Stephney will entertain the Utopian Art Club at their home, 703 No. 13th, on the evening of March 9th. A paper by Mr. N. B. Ashford will be the feature of the evening.
The social given by Mrs. E. C. Stephney and others last Friday night was a success.
Last Sunday being an ideal day, the Sunday school was well attended at Mt. Zion at its usual hour. Rev. H. W. Botts prescheduled a noble sermon in the forenoon and at night. The Buds of Promise held their meeting in the afternoon. The B. Y. P. U. was favored with a treat at their usual hour, in which several of the young ladies and men came over from the First Baptist Church, white, and furnished some wholesome instructions on the work. Several of the home Church gave expressions of appreciation and the pastor assured them of his hearty cooperative appreciation, and invited them to come again.
Rev. H. W. Botts was over to Omaha visiting his brother, Dr. W. F. Botts, this week.
Mrs. Helen Randall is home from Detroit, Mich., visiting her parents-Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Colley.

RECALLING "GOOD OLD DAYS"
Seriously, Were They Really So Very Much Better as Most Elderly People Think?
The vanity of age is a curious thing. As we approach fifty most of us who have survived plagues, pestilence and famine, wars, panics and the other perils that flesh is heir to begin to hark back to the good old times when everything was different. Because things were different we foster the delusion that everything was better. We expect youngsters to listen with rapt attention to our reminiscences. I confess that I myself find it necessary to fight constantly a tendency to corner some hapless youngster and describe to him the old statehouse, or the Union station as it used to be in the good old times before the tracks were elevated and the mortality list lowered. Or, in a mood of condescension, I speak of that glorious year when our town figured in the schedules of the National league.
Baseball, I intimate, reached peritheion in that year of wonder. When I speak of Kelly and Clarkson and other giants of those days and their visit to our capital, or recall Jack Glasscock as the most efficient and captivating shortstop the diamond has ever known, he merely smiles sadly; and if you continue he may be driven to ask you what you think of Babe Ruth and some other luminaries of the degenerate present. There have been great men since Agamemnon, and we needn't imagine that the youth of today are not aware of the fact. Sufficient unto the day are the heroes thereof.—Harper's Magnzine.
ANATOLE FRANCE AND INGRES
Great Author, as a Youth, Glad of Opportunity to Be of Service to Venerable Man.
Ingres lived 200 feet away from my home, on the Quai Voltaire. I knew him by sight. He was more than eighty years old. Age, which is a disaster for ordinary mortals, is an apotheosis for men of genius.
I was in the Theater du Chatelet on the night when "The Magic Flute" was sung for the first time by Christine Nilsson. I had an orchestra seat. Long before the curtain rose the theater was full. I saw M. Ingres coming toward me. It was he, his head like a bull, his eyes still black and piercing, his short stature, his powerful gait. It was known that he loved music. I realized that having the entree to the theater he had come in and was vainly looking for a seat. I was about to offer him mine; he did not give me the chance.
"Young man," he said, "give me your place; I am M. Ingres."
I rose, radiant. The venerable old man had done me the honor of choosing me to give up my place to M Ingres - Anatole France, in the Dial.
Milk Bottle Thermometer.
A North Woodward housewife, who lives in a house boasting a back porch, says she can always tell how cold it is by the length of the cone of frozen milk in the neck of the bottle she finds on her back porch every morning. By comparison with a nearby thermometer, she says, she finds that at about 20 above the cap of the bottle is barely lifted and the contents frozen about two inches down. At 14 above she found the cap shoved up about two inches and the milk solid some three inches down. Seven above is good for a projection of "solid" milk some four or five inches above the bottle neck and the contents semi-solid throughout. The bottle of milk thermometer is reliable only for above-zero temperature, as lower temperatures must be judged by the curvature of the frozen neck of cream.-Detroit News.
"Maxim Gorky" a Pseudonym.
"Maxim Gorky," who was reported to be on his way to England on a visit to H.G. Wells, but is still held up by the Bolshevist authorities on the frontier, is Alexel Pyeshkof, the poet and chronicler of the parliams and vagabonds of Russian society. "Gorky" means "bitter." The full name, "Maxim Gorky," may, perhaps, be read to mean the "bitterest of the bitter." The pseudonym effectively symbolizes Pyeshkof's attitude toward life, for his fiction is the distilled essence of the disappointed.
He was not at first a Bolshevik, and he seems only to have joined the Bolshevist ranks under pressure. Given his choice between low diet and high office he preferred the latter, which is one, happily, that does not require him to take any active part in the perpetration of atrocities.—Living Age.
Haiti's Scrapping Roosters.
Roosters that crow day and night and never seem to recognize the difference between day and night were recently described by William Almon Wolff in Colliers. Mr. Wolff visited Haiti while he was serving as a sergeant in the marine corps reserve. "When it comes to cock fighting in Haiti," he writes, "the rooster plays a very important role. Sunday afternoon is the great time for that, and all day Sunday you may see sporting Haitians going about with a game-cock or two under their arms. There are two rings in Port au Prince; thousands of men gather there every Sunday afternoon and bet on their favorites. Haitian cock fighting is not a very brutal affair; the birds aren't spurted. It is the custom for the owner of the losing rooster to cry quits before much damage is done."

DRESS OF PREHISTORIC TIMES
Remarkable Frecks Worn at a Recent Display Staged in the City of London.
Wearing a dress copied from a rock-drawing found in Altamira, Spain. Lady Warrenden appeared at a pageant of dress in London, and the most remarkable thing about this costume was that it might have come from a fashionable modiste of today, so near to present-day fashion did it seem, according to the London Daff Graphic.
Lady Warrenden's dress was estimated to represent fashion existent any time between 20,000 and 200,000 years ago. One young lady wore a Spanish dancing frock believed to be a replica of one worn at least 200,000 B. C. Instead of painting her arms and chest, she wore brown tights under a little skirt of buff-colored cloth, covered with real plumage, and feather skirts to match.
The Daily Graphic describes the attire professing to copy that worn by Queen Boadicea (wneose statue stands on Westminster bridge, close to the houses of parliament). This embraced a straight, full tunic, in royal blue woven cloth, over a plaited tartan skirt, similar in character to those colors still worn by the highlanders. Round the tunic were bands of part-colored embroidery, white a graceful wrap of dark gray cloth was flung over the shoulders and fastened with a huge circular brooch.
AMERICAN TREES IN GREECE
New Verdure for Barren Hills Around Athens Expected to Influence the Annual Rainfall.
Mrs. P. Martineau, the expert on floriculture and tree planting, has just returned to England from a visit to Athens, where she has been advising the king and queen of the Hellenes in the culture and laying out gardens. She has spent a good deal of time in California and has found that the drought-resisting trees and flowers of that country are particularly suited to Greek soil.
The queen has formed a small society among her friends with the object of furthering tree planting in the country. All the streets of Athens have been planted with pepper trees, the light green foliage, of which, with clusters of berries, is very effective. The pepper tree, an evergreen, is a native of California. Another tree seen there is the maritime pine, with which the queen hopes to clothe the hills of Greece as far as possible. Some of the small hills surrounding Athens are already covered with this drought-resisting tree, which is particularly suited to a soil which is practically lime and dust. The maritime pine grows very quickly, and Mrs. Martineau thinks that the covering of the hills around Athens may have the effect of bringing more rain.
Incident Boys Will Long Remember.
Trapped in the center of a railway bridge spanning Tessopeck creek, Pa. two boys, each aged twelve years, miraculously escaped death when they laid down between the rails and took chances with a limited train on the third rail system of the Wilkes-Barre and Hazleton railway passing over them. They won, for the train went over them in safety and the boys were unhurt. The train came upon them so suddenly and either end of the bridge was so far away that to attempt escape by running would have meant death. To have jumped thirty feet into the creek would have been equally perilous. The engineer saw the boys and signaled to them to lie down between the rails. The boys cuddled as close as they could to the ties, turning their heads sideways, shut their eyes and prayed.
Ideal Hoosier Town
Jimmie Blue, former Hoosier, now of Denver, says Mount Comfort, Ind, is the ideal town. A hungry tramp dropped off in Mount Comfort one bitter cold day. A diligent house to house canvass availed him nothing. Cold and hungry, he walked to the intersection of the Big Four and Cumberland pike. He looked east, west, north and south, then cast his eyes on the ground, a forlorn expression on his face.
The constable noticed him and, walking over, ventured to ask what the trouble might be. The tramp answered, "Well, I've been in about every town in the country, but derned if this ain't the first place I ever saw that was finished."—Indianapolis News.
What the Reds Are Kicking At
What the News Are Raking Are
"You know what a difference a shave and a haircut make in your thoughts," observes the philosopher of the Type Metal Magazine, discoursing of social problems. "You sit in a barber's chair, tired and depressed. A half hour later you get up, cheerful and optimistic, refreshed in mind and body. Suppose you shaved about once a week, bathed every other week, slept between dirty blankets in a room with five other men, ate greasy, badly cooked food, and worked in a shop that never had a thorough cleaning. You might join the 'Reds' and protest against the government, but you would really be protesting against dirt and bad food."

Extracts From Speeches in House Debate on the Dyer Bill
Knowing how deeply interested our readers are in the Dyer Bill which has been passed by the House and is now before the Senate, The Monitor will publish in this and subsequent issues extracts from some of the principal speeches which were delivered in Congress during the prolonged debate on this measure. Extracts from speeches in the Senate will also be published when the discussion begins there.
As to Its Constitutionality
If the gentlemen opposing this bill are so absolutely confident that the Supreme Court of the United States will certainly declare it null and void why filibuster against its passage and try to prevent its enactment? What are you afraid of? I almost suspect that you are afraid the Supreme Court may sustain the law. Frederick W. Dallinger, Massachusetts.
Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee, it seems to me that this debate is bringing a great deal of extraneous matter into the Record. In view of the fate of the thirteenth, the fourteenth and the fifteenth constitutional amendments in the South it seems to me that my Democrat friends should not now exhibit such great tenderness as to whether this bill is constitutional or not. Nor does it seem to me that the honorable gentleman (Mr. Linthicum) who is afraid that it is going to create a supergovernment need concern himself greatly about that in view of the record of his party, which is somewhat in favor of supergovernment if we may judge it by the past.—Charles L. Knight, Ohio.
Those of us who oppose this legislation have taken the position that this bill is unconstitutional even under that provision of the fourteenth amendment. During this discussion some very able arguments have been made against the constitutionality of this bill in which it has been clearly shown that the bill is unconstitutional. It would be unwise to enact it into law even if it was constitutional.—Morgan G. Sanders, Tex-
Would Increase Mob Rule
I am opposed to this bill because it would increase mob violence by encouraging the crimes which are the most provocative of mob violence and which more than all things else combined create the conditions out of which mob violence as a punishment for other offenses arises. I am opposed to this bill because the interposition of Federal power would lessen the sense of local responsibility and retard the growth of local purpose to suppress mob violence. I am opposed to this bill because it is unconstitutional and appeals for support to the very spirit which it denounces—the spirit of disregard for law and the sacredness of the official oath—Summers, Texas.
The Government's Duty
The Government that will not defend its defenders, that will not protect those whom it compels to offer their lives to protect its interest, is a disgrace to the family of nations, and I hope that this Congress will help to wipe such a stain from our flag and carry out the purpose of those who drew and those who proposed this amendment.
When a state fails to punish those who commit mob murder it fails to afford due process of law and the equal protection of the laws. Aside from immediate police protection which in most instances can not be given, the one method recognized and relied on by every Government as the appropriate, the necessary, and effective means for protecting persons against lawlessness is the punishment of those who violate law.—Andrew J. Volstead, Minnesota.
Mob Law Must Be Ended
Both my observation and my judgement lead me to believe that this legislation will go far toward removing this disgraceful and barbaric practice. No man, though guilty should be killed until he has his day in court. And we know that many innocent persons have been burned and hanged. Let us do our part to end this awful, indefensible practice. Law and order should be encouraged. Mob law should be ended. The laws of our Republic should be enforced. If equal protection is not granted by all States, then let the Federal Government intervene. That is what this law is intended to do. I shall vote for it—Ira M. Foster, Ohio.
A BLOT ON NATION
I have listened with considerable interest to the arguments that have been made against the adoption of this legislation, but I have heard nothing offered by the opponents of the bill which would incline me to vote against the bill. I shall vote for the bill because I am in hearty sympathy and accord with its intents and purposes.
The 'continued frequency of mob rule in the United States which usually culminates in the putting to death of the victim in many instances in a most repulsive and barbarous manner is a blot and a stain on our country's name and professed civilization, and such actions can not be justified under any circumstances. I believe this bill, when enacted into law, will have a very powerful moral effect upon the law officers of the country. I can see no good reason why there should be any opposition to it, for no one can consistently condone the action of an infuriated mob bent upon wreaking vengeance upon a helpless victim, too

often without substantial proof of the guilt of the victim, and in many instances carrying out the will of the mob in a manner far more grusheas than the crime of which the victim is charged. —Isaac Bacharach, New Jersey.
NATION TIRED OF MOBS.
We as a Nation know too well the efficacy of the orderly administration which lynchings are of frequent occurrence must learn now that the patience of liberty loving America is about exhausted. There are no "ifs" and "ands" about it. This bill, amended or unamended, will pass, and those communities can take the consequences or leave them alone. The decision is up to them. (Applause.)
There never was a case of mob violence, but that every personal safeguard constitutional, legal, and moral, was overridden with heartless impunity. There never was a case of lynching but that every law, so carefully woven into our civil fabric was defied and every element of orderly, organized government for the time was overthrown.
John F. Miller, Washington.
LOYALTY TO COUNTRY
In the early morning of a spring day of 1918 healthy, manly colored boys began to assemble in Washington Square, New York City. Thousands of them were formed in a military procession and marched up Fifth Avenue amid the cheering of the multitude. The places of business were decorated with the National emblem, and when they reached Murray Hill they were stopped in front of the Union Club, where the Governor of the State desended, accompanied by his official retinue, and passed to this company of colored troops their colors and said to them that they should bring them back with honor.
The survivors of this company, some of them having paid the supreme sacrifice, came back to their country, bringing the colors with honor.. They all offered their lives to save the world for democracy and to save the civil and personal freedom of every man, woman, and child in the United States. In the heart of hearts of these brave colored boys rested the hope that their acts of bravery would also free them and give them a little higher standing in the community in which they lived. They had the hope that while they were fighting to make the world safe for democracy and save civilization they might also win a little freedom for themselves. What has been the record? They were honorably discharged from the service, and within one year from the time they were discharged ten of their number were lynched, not one of the ten for rape. Ww. Chalmers Ohio.
Origin of "Brazil."
The country Brazil derived its name from a red dye wood which abounds throughout the land. The Portuguese called the wood "braza," which means a live coal, and Brazil is the form of the word applied to the whole country.
Grease in Wallpaper.
Press a cloth moist with high-grade gasoline against the paper for about a minute. Do this repeatedly, as a single application will remove only a part of the grease.
Ice Evaporates Rapidly.
Ice in the open air evaporates rapidly, even when there is no let-up to the frost. In less than a month it will lose 25 per cent of its weight in this manner.
Seems a Rubber, Sometimes.
Jud Tunkins says a friend sometimes takes the liberty of telling you so much about your faults you wonder how he manages to remain friendly.
Jud Tunkins says many a man would lose his standing as a good loser if there were any mind readers present.
