Mrs. Mary White has fitted up a new rooming house at 200 South 14th street. It is, indeed, a model in beauty and convenience. She has ten rooms fitted up in the most elegant style from bottom to top. She is now ready to receive guests, both single and married. Don't fail to give her a call. She will give general satisfaction to her many guests. Remember her number—200 South 14th street. Mr. Hugh B. White has had his window newly fitted up and now it looks very nobby with the plain inscription—Hugh B. White, the Gem. Mr. E. L. Arnett has also had his saloon newly fitted up in the latest style. Go and look upon Mr. Arnett's newly decorated saloon. The Death Angel. Last Saturday the Death Angel entered the aboad of Mrs. Emma O. Greer and bore away that spirit to the God that gave it. She leaves a husband and four children to mourn her loss. She was a cousin of Mrs. J. Hynes, of 1920 Wash street. They lived in Helena, Ark. The Old Folks' Home. The managers of the Old Folks' Home are working hard for the success of the same. On the 3d of June the Home will be dedicated by the Masons' State Grand Lodge. Don't fail to help this worthy cause. Jennie Thornton, a Negress Sentenced for Killing Husband. Judge Douglas yesterday morning sentenced Jennie Thornton, a negress, to life imprisonment in the Penitentiary for killing her husband, Gilbert Thornton, on January 31. - she was charged with murder in the first degree. The woman lay in wait for her husband at Second street and Lucas avenue and shot him. She seemed surprised when Judge Douglas pronounced the sentence, evidently expecting leniency from the court.—Republic. The birthday party given in honor of Mrs. A. S. Morgan of 3018 Cass avenue, was a most enjoyable affair. Quite a large number of quests assembled and passed a pleasant evening. Mr. and Mrs. Morgan, although married but three years, are still the affectionate couple they were when lovers. The church-going young men of this city have acquired a very distasteful habit of remaining around church after dismissal, seemingly to greet the young ladies as they come out. This is bad taste and we hope that all the young men will discontinue such practices. THE FIRST WORLD WAR A young girl standing in a white dress with a flower in her hand. Miss Winnie Booth.

East St. Louis people are up in arms against Prof. B. F. Bowels, of East St. Louis Lincoln public school. We will look on and see the fur fly. Our advice has always been for the public school teachers to keep out of politices, also the preachers who are in charge of churches and man who gets in the way of another man will sure get jamed. So let our public school teachers and preachers keep in the middle of the road. SNOOKS. "Pickett's Headache Powders gve instant relief. 2601 Lawton avenue. Newly Fitted. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1903. WHY THE NEGROES DID NOT MARCH. Thought Harry Hawes' Offer to Furnish Uniforms Had Political Aspect. The failure of the negro division of the civic parade to materialize last Saturday was the subject of much comment, and for half an hour while the parade was forming the aids of Grand Marshal Spencer rode here and there, inquiring for division No. 14, which, it was supposed, had missed its way. But No. 14 was not found. Several of the largest civic organizations of the colored people of the city had promised to participate, and the colored people generally expected to see the most creditable showing ever made by their race. They were doomed to disappointment, however, and they have been busying themselves ever since trying to account for the failure of the negro contingent to materialize. The organizations reported by Division Marshal J. Milton Turner could easily have turned out several thousand men, and intended to do so up to Friday evening, when a sudden halt was called in the preparations by the leaders of the different organizations. This action was due to a report that was given wide circulation last Friday by persons who claimed to be acting under instructions from Marshal Turner that Harry B. Hawes had offered to furnish uniforms, caps and canes for as many colored men as desired to take part in the parade. This report, in the eyes of the officers of the various negro organizations, gave the whole affair a political aspect, and the colored men, fearing that some political significance would be attached to their appearance in the parade under the leadership of Marshal Turner, who has become conspicuous as a negro Democratic leader, decided not to take any part. This, at any rate, is the explanation given by one of them yesterday. Henry T. Mott, adjutant on Grand Marshal Spencer's staff, said he and his aids had been quite unable to account for the failure of the negroes to show up. Mr. Mott said not even Division Marshal Turner was on hand, so far as he could ascertain. —Globe-Democrat. The Woman's Club. The St. Louis Woman's Club, with Mrs Susan P. Vashon as president, is a wide-awake, progressive organization. This club is now engaged in raising funds for the establishment and support of a charity ward at the Provident hospital in this city. At one of the meetings called "A Literary Afternoon," held recently, a very enjoyable paper on the subject of "Ideality" was read by Miss Helen Burrell, and was discussed with much profit by the members generally. At the same meeting the following "resolution" was presented and adopted unanimously: "Whereas, We have learned with great satisfaction of the munificent gift of six thousand dollars, donated through the generosity of Mr. Andrew Carnagie to the work of Booker T. Washington, at Tuskegee; therefore be it Resolved, That we, the officers and members of the St. Louis Woman's Club, do hereby express our gratification at this noble act and our high appreciation of the metives which prompted it. Resolved, That we hail with high hope this encouraging evidence of a brighter era in our history, when the hand of the rich man shall be extended in appreciative help to the struggling brothers, and his purse-strings be opened wide in the cause of humanity and progress." Mrs. W. C. Gordon, wife of the well-known undertaker, has recently returned home from a trip in Florida and other Southern States, where she went for the benefit of health, and her trip accomplished much towards restoring her health. Mr. Nathaniel Wilson, of Mobile, Ala., is visiting his brother, Mr. Alexander Wilson, and his nephew, Mr. Daniel Hartsfield, of St. Louis.

They were continually doffing their caps in response to the cheers of their many friends along the line. Mrs. Lydia Tucker, of Clarksville, Mo., is visiting Mrs. W. D. Elgin, of 1536 Gratiot street. She will remain for several weeks. Mrs. C. W. Lee, of 456 N. Sarah street, has returned home from a visit to Kansas City, Mo. She is the picture of health. We welcome her back to our old St. Louis. Mr. Joseph G. Morrison, of Chicago, was the guest of James B. Huston during the dedication period. Mr. Morrison is well-known in St. Louis, having lived here, coming to this city from Washington, D. C., where his relatives now reside. Several social functions were held in the honor of Mr. Morrison and he expressed himself as delighted with his trip. Miss Mable Rodgers, of Sparta, Ill., was the guest of her cousin, Miss Alice Simms, duning the dedication. The many friends of Miss Rodgers made her visit a very pleasant one during her stay in the city. Remember the grand opening of James Ray soon will be the crowning event of 22d street. Due and timely notice will be given through the columns of the Palladium. Miss Nellie B. Horton, the former bookkeeper of A. Russell's Grocery Store, has just returned from a little town in Illinois known as Peoria. She seems in the best of health.

The arrival of President Roosevelt at the reviewing stand was the signal for the firing of a presidential sa- Tate. ‘Yhe passage of the troops in re- view occupied over an hour, at the close of which the president and in- yited guests repaired to luncheon. Meanwhile the doors of the Liberal Arts building, where the dedication services were to be held, were thrown open, and while the great audience was assembling a grand band concert was in progress. Cis Dediantion Goveseisdas Say | eevee hey room ee eee ering was called to order by Presi- dent David R. Francis of the Louisi- ana Purchase Exposition Co., and an invocation was pronounced by his eminence, James, Cardinal Gibbons. Hon, Thomas H. Carter, president of the national commission and presi- dent of the day, was then introduced, and spoke briefly of the grandeur of the Louisiana purchase and what had been accomplished in the first century of our possession of the territory ac- quired from France, which at’ the time was only considered valuable by many American statesmen because it secured to us the free navigation of the Mississippi river. It was fitting, he said, that the celebration should be international, as it would be vain to name a civilized country whose sons and daughters had not contribut- ed to the glorious triumphs of peace recorded within its boundaries. In the name of the national commission President Carter extended to all a cordial welcome to the dedication ex- ercises, and called upon the grand festival chorus to render Beethoven's creation hymn, “The Heavens Pro- claiming.” At once a wave of inspir- ing melody swept over the vast struc- ture, thrilling the audience with the wel-nigh perfect rendition of the well worn, but always glorious, num- ber.

May the happiness of man- kind be advanced and broadened by the lofty purpose that inspired this undertaking, and move our own and sister countries to unite in its accom- plishment.” ‘The Dedication Address. In his address of acceptance and dedication President Roosevelt struck a responsive chord among his hearers. He recalled to their minds that the soil upon which they stood, before it was ours was successively the posses- sion of two mighty empires, Spain and France, whose sons made a deathless record of heroism in the early annals of the new world. “No history of the western country could be written,” he said, “without paying heed to the wonderful part played therein in the early days by the soldiers, missionar- ies, explorers, and traders who did their work for the honor of the proud banners of France and Castile. While the settlers of English-speaking stock. and those of Dutch, German and Sean- dinavian origin who were associated with them, were still clinging to the eastern seaboard, the pioneers of Spain and France had penetrated deep into the hitherto unknown wil- derness of the west and had wandered far and wide within the boundaries ‘of what is now our mighty country. ‘The very cities themselves—St. Lonis, New Orleans, Santa Fe, N. M—bear witness by their titles to the nation- alities of their founders. It was not until the revolution had begun that the English-speaking settlers pushed west across the Alleghenies, and not until a century ago that they entered in to possess the land upon which we now stand.” After passing in review the acqui- sition of the Louisiana territory and pointing out the inestimable boon conferred upon the nation by its far- sighted purchasers, the president eon- saanas Se ee “We meet here to-day to commemo- rate a great event which marks an era in statesmanship no less than in pioneering. It is fitting that we should pay our homage in words; but wo must in honor make our words good by deeds. We have every right to take a just pride in the great deeds of our forefathers; but we show our- selves unworthy to be their descend- ants if we make what they did an ex- cuse for our lying supine instead of an incentive to the effort to show our- selves by our acts worthy of them, In the administration of city, state and nation, in the management of our home life and the conduct of our business and social relations we are bound to show certain high and fine qualities of character under penalty of seeing the whole heart of our civil- ization eaten out while the body still lives. “We justly pride ourselves on our marvelous material prosperity, and such prosperity must exist in order to establish a foundation upon which a higher life can be built; but unless we do in very fact build this higher life thereon, the material prosperity will go for but very little. Now, in 1903, in the altered conditions, we must meet the changed and changing problems with the spirit shown by the men who, in 1803, and in the sub- sequent years gained, explored, con- quered, and settled this vast terri- tory, then a desert, now filled with thriving and populous states. ‘The Old Days and the New. “The old days were great because the men who lived in them had migh- ty qualities; and we must make the new days great by showing these same qualities. We must insist upon courage and resolution, upon hardi- hood, tenacity and fertility im re- source; we must insist upon the strong, virile virtues; and we must insist no less upon the virtues of self-restraint, self-mastery, regard for the rights of others; we must show our abhorrence of eruelty, bru- tality and corruption, in publie and in private life alike. If we come short in any of these qualities we shall measurably fail; and if, as I believe we surely shall, we develop these qualities in the future to an even greater degree than in the past, then in the century now beginning we shall make of this republic the freest and most orderly, the most just and most mighty nation which has ever come forth from the womb of time.” Mr. Cleveland's Address, The close of the Gedication address was followed by the selection, “Un- fold Ye Portals,” by the grant chorus, and then Hon. Grover Clove. Jand, ex-president of the Uniti States, delivered the oration, in ‘he course of which he traced the f:>. reaching consequences in the upbviii- ing of this mighty nation, the haven for the oppressed of all races, fo! ing the acquisition of the vast arcs comprised in the Louisiana Purchase, He said in part: ~ “The impressiveness of this occa. sion is greatly enhanced by reason of an atmosphere of prophecy’s ful. fillment which surrounds it.

"All about the Kidnapped Millionaires!! Record Extra! All about the Great Mystery!! Record Extra!" Hundreds of newsboys poured from an alley and dashed into the human currents which surge at the confluence of Nassau street and Park Row. In a moment the air was aflaame with the red headlines of the "Record Extra." It was not necessary to buy a paper. The type was so large that it told the news to the passerby. For a week the Wall street boom had been the sensation of New York and of the country. The perpetual excitement which reigns within the shadow of Trinity church had permeated office and counting room. It was the whispered topic of conversation among clerks, and the noisy subject of debate in hotel lobby and corridor. The jargon of the Stock Exchange was incorporated into metropolitan English. The tales of fortunes made to the clicking music of the ticker, aroused the cupidity of thousands, who saw in the whirl of speculative frenzy the prospect of wealth without work. Newspapers fed the flame and vied in displaying and narrating the golden exploits of magnate and operator. On this Tuesday morning headlines and text covered the front page of the New York Record and proclaimed the following story: KIDNAPPED!!! Four Multimillionaires Mysteriously Missing!! Palmer J. Morton, Andrus Carmody, Simon Pence and R. J. Kent cannot be found!! Fears that They have been Kidnapped, or have met with Foul Play. Excitation on Wall Street. "Palmer J. Morton, R. J. Kent, Andrus Carmody and Simon Pence have mysteriously disappeared. They did not appear at their offices, but by inquiry at their houses discloses the astounding fact that though expected they did not come home last night. Various rumors are in circulation, but at this writing nothing is known, except that these four great capitalists have computed their combined wealth is estimated at $730,000,000." The street crowds received the news calmly. They did not believe it. But they bought the papers. The news came by the way of Wall street. Strange rumors had been in circulation all the morning. A sense of impending trouble permeated the crowd of brokers which clustered around the standards on the floor of the Stock Exchange. The curb brokers on Broad street were unasy, as they waited for the hour of ten. The market opened strong and then sagged. It was a few minutes past eleven o'clock when the tickers in a thousand offices stopped in their task of recording quotations. There was a splutter of dashes on the tape. Customers gathered around the pedestals. There was news coming. They anticipated the announcement of an important failure. It had been rumored that a Consolidated Exchange house was in trouble. The following message spread itself along the tape: "11:07 a. m.—Palmer J. Morton, R. J. Kent, Andrus Carmody and Simon Pence have not appeared at their offices. They did not return to their residences last night. Relatives are alarmed and have notified the police. They were last seen at a conference held at the office of Palmer J. Morton at four o'clock yesterday afternoon. No trace since. Foul play is feared." The murmur of the Stock Exchange swelled into a roar which reverberated above the rumble of traffic and the unrest on the streets. This was the morning of the third of May, memorable in the records of Wall street. CHAPTER II. TWO NAPOLEONS OF JOURNALISM. Robert Van Horne was the owner and editor of the New York Record. He was a leading light in a much-anticipated school of journalism. He was the exemplar of the theory that the modern newspaper should "do things"—to quote the idiomatic expression of Mr. William Chalmers, his managing editor. Robert Van Horne was the millionaire son of a departed millionaire father. His mother died in his school years, and at the age of 26 he found himself the sole owner of the immense Van Horne estate, roughly estimated as having a value of $20,000,000. His cattle roamed on a thousand hills in New Mexico and Texas. The drills of his mining machinery were boring into the rocks in scores of productive mines in Colorado, the Dakotas and Montana. With the traditional "Van Horne luck" his agents had been among the first to strike it rich in the snow-swept valleys of the Klondike. At an opportune moment he had invested a small fortune in Tennessee iron lands, and before this story opens had smiled at the confusion of those friends who chided him as the purchaser of a "gold brick." Soon after the death of his father, Van Horne bought the New York Record; a paper which had survived a checkered career in the arena of metropolitan journalism. From the first issue under the Van Horne management the Record was a publication which could not be ignored. Like Minerva it sprang into life fullgrown, and panoplied in new and startling armor. It commanded attention and received it. There was no escape for the public. Unless one were blind, deaf and dumb he could not remain unaware of the fact that the Record was being published. Mr. William Chalmers, his managing editor, was a tall, smooth-shaven, clear-cut young man, who had passed his 35 summers. He had acquired no gray hairs in the accumulation of a vast and varied fund of experience. He was possessed of an easy confidence; was handsome without knowing it, and had that grasp of every detail of the newspaper business which made him invaluable as an executive. He had traveled in every part of the globe; had interviewed section hands on railroads and emperors in palaces; knew the language of the slums and the graces of a court; could report a murder case or dictate a message for a president. Mr. Van Horne thoroughly understood the great reading public to which his paper made a bid for support. It wished to be amused. The Record amused it. It wished to be thrilled. The Record thrilled it. It hungered for sensations. The Record had a never-ending supply of sensations. It clamored for pictures. The Record had them. It stood ready to print instantly reproductions of photographs of past, present or future events. Mr. Walter B. Hestor was a friend of Robert Van Horne. He was a young man with a fortune and a hobby. His hobby was journalism. His fortune was conservatively estimated at $30,000,000, and he was in a position to indulge in any fancy which attracted him. The New York Record under the Van Horne management dazzled him. Its method of handling great news events appealed to Hestor. At one time he contemplated founding a rival paper, and surpassing, if possible, the bewildering strokes of enterprise which were displayed in the pages of that paper. On reflection he decided it meant too much work. He realized that the management of a great newspaper entailed an enormous amount of detail. Though possessed of much energy and persistence, Walter B. Hestor was introspective enough to realize that he was not fitted for the task of supervising a metropolitan newspaper. He therefore abandoned the idea. He had no difficulty in forming a close acquaintance with Robert Van Horne. They were fellow-members of several clubs, and both were fitted by wealth and education to move in the same social circles. Hestor lost no time in confiding his ambitions to Mr. Van Horne. He wished to make his mark in the world as a journalist. Mr. Van Horne readily perceived that Hestor was a genius in his line of thought and action. The ambitious amateur would listen to no proposition involving pay for his services. All he asked was a chance to plan and execute those journalistic commissions which gave play to his genius as an initiator and to his skill as a writer. Mr. Van Horne was delighted to accept the volunteer services of the brilliant but erratic Walter B. Hestor. At the time this story begins, Hestor was about 32 years old. He was a member of a New York family which traced its wealth and ancestry to the sixteenth century. His fortune was an independent one; and, though his tastes were expensive, he did not live up to his income. It would take a volume to recount the journalistic exploits of Walter B. Hestor. He built the splendid steam yacht the "Shark," and employed it in his worldwide search for sensational news. We took 200 passengers from a sinking liner, and was decorated by four governments for bravery. In every war the "Shark" was in the foreground. It was the Hestor yacht that ran the batteries at Havana and escaped from the harbor with valuable news and information. At every signal of trouble Hestor and the "Shark" were sure to be on hand long before the representatives of other papers were aware that news was brewing. At his own expense he established a system of espionage on all the courts of Europe. Hestor was known in every palace of royalty, and in a few years became recognized as the most brilliant newspaper correspondent in the world. At the time this story opens Mr. Hestor had returned to New York after a cruise in Philippine waters. He was interviewed by all the newspapers, and his portrait flashed from hundreds of prints in all parts of the country. He was proud and happy of his success. His mind was ever alert for some scheme which would emphasize his fame. He regarded his foreign triumphs as but stepping stones to some great coup which would immortalize his name. Hestor was disappointed when he learned that Mr. Van Horne had departed recently on a secret mission to Europe. At first he thought of joining him, but finally decided to remain in New York for a time and devote his energies to matters of local interest. Hestor was greeted warmly at the clubs, and found himself a popular hero. He was welcomed at the theaters and some of his newspaper exploits were made the subject of a topical song and rendered with great success at a leading vaudeville hall. For some time he had led a life free from care in company with congenial spirits, who were glad to shine in his reflected fame. At the office of The Record Mr. Hestor had a luxurious private room, as befitted his rank as the special envoy of the paper. One afternoon he received a message from his old friend Sidney Hammond, stating that he would be in the city for two days, at the end of which time he would be HESTOR WAS DELIGHTED TO HEAR FROM SIDNEY. compelled to make a western trip on important business. Hestor was delighted to hear from Sidney Hammond, and at once arranged a theater and supper party in his honor. A party of eight occupied the Hestor box at the opera and thoroughly enjoyed "La Boheme." Walter B. Hestor and Miss Edith Le Roy; Sidney Hammond and Miss Olive, his sister; Mr. Converse and Miss De Neuville; Mr. Blake and Miss Meredith, constituted the merry group, which at the conclusion of the opera, mingled in the fashionable mob, and after the usual delays and annoyances found themselves in carriages speeding toward Fifth avenue. There was a crush of carriages in front of Delmonico's. It was the night hour when New York attains the height of its feverish activity. The avenue was alive with swift-moving equipages. An army of lackeys was busy receiving the arriving guests. Inside the massive doors, the strains of an orchestra throbbed in an air of heavy perfume. The glare of light from thousands of electric globes was reflected from glass and marble, but subdued by palms and masses of roses. A table had been reserved for Mr. Hestor and his guests—brave in its array of linen and flowers, and its glitter of cut glass. As Mr. Hestor entered the hall he was recognized by scores of friends and for a few moments held an impromptu reception. When this social duty was ended, Miss Edith Le Roy took prompt charge of certain details—as was the wont of this vivacious young woman. Mr. Hestor had seated himself next to Sidney Hammond. Miss Le Roy had no idea of consenting to such an arrangement. "You are the host, Mr. Hestor," she said, "and you must take the head of the table. Miss Meredith will sit at your right, and Mr. Hammond will take his place next to her. I am not going to permit you and Mr. Hammond to monopolize each other's conversation. I can trust you, Miss Meredith, to keep Sidney and Walter from entering into any discussion of their dreary schemes for reconstructing the universe." The dinner went on merrivily amid a general conversation in which a limitless number of topics were introduced, discussed, and dismissed. Terrapin followed bouillon, and canvas back ducks were served with some rare old Burgundy. The spacious dining halls had in the meantime become crowded, and the orchestra encountered a noisy rival in the laughter and conversation which mingled in harmonious blend from hundreds of tables. Dainty preparations of shell fish gave place to a salad, followed by a glace, which Miss Le Roy pronounced "a dream in old rose." While the ladies discussed bonbons, the gentlemen lit cigars on cigarettes, and wooed the god of Nicotine with all the ardor which follows the enjoyment of so sumptuous a repast. While Miss Le Roy was energetically defending her favorite French author from an attack unwittingly made by Mr. Blake, her plans so carefully arranged at the opening of the dinner were disrupted by Sidney Hammond, who readily persuaded Miss Meredith to change places with him. Miss Le Roy smiled her scorn when she discovered her duplicity and promptly announced a social boycott against the ungentle Hestor and Hammond, who already were absorbed in a quiet conversation on topic which seemed of special interest to them. Sidney Hammond was a college mate of Walter Hester. He was the stroke oar in the famous crew which humbled the pride of the rival university. Unlike many of the athletic heroes of the institutions of learning, Hammond combined the frame of a muscular Apollo with the brain of the scholar. He was even more a hero with the professors than on the campus. The text and reference books prescribed in the curriculum served but to stimulate his thirst for research. Though abundantly able, through the generosity of his father, to enter into all of the pleasures of the gilded class, he performed the rare feat of remaining a studious recluse and retaining his popularity. During the years spent in college he was an intellectual and physical machine, seemingly incapable of mental or bodily fatigue. The few friends who enjoyed the privilege of his apartments found him the best of hosts, with a well-appointed sideboard and the choicest of cigars. Except on rare occasions Hammond did not permit these social relaxatons to intrude on his time, and his friends grew to know just how long Sidney would tolerate their company in preference to his books. Hestor sipped a glass of wine; knocked the ashes from his cigar, and extended an enameled cigar case to Hammond. "How long does our famous correspondent intend to remain in New York?" asked Sidney Hammond. "It must seem dull here after what you have been through." "It seems good to be here," replied Hestor. "I am going to quit roaming around and stay in this country for awhile. I believe there is more big news on the tapis here than anywhere in the world. I believe there is some sensational news about the trusts if it could be obtained and properly handled." "They are getting big enough and bold enough to attract attention," said Hammond. "There will be plenty of news about them some day." "How do you like the Record's leading editorial to-day?" he asked. "The one about the big steel combine, do you mean?" "Yes." "Candidly, I cannot say I liked it," said Hammond, after a moment's pause. "I suppose Williams wrote it. It sounded like his stuff. Williams is a good writer, and there is no better man on local issues, but I am afraid the trust problem is beyond his depth. He denounces trusts. He might as well denounce the Galveston disaster. He has treated The Record readers to an entertaining but not novel bit of trust invective. I presume it is what they want, but what good does it do? He proposes no remedy." [To Be Continued.] CLAY PIPES AS CHARMS They Used to Be Offered to the Fairies by the Country Folk of England. In nearly all local museums in England the visitor may see very tiny clay pipes, generally broken off at the stem, that he is told, after inquiry, are "fairy pipes," says Stray Stories. Often enough, gardeners and people excavating for house foundations turn these piggy pipes up and keep them as curiosities without knowing what they are. Most of these people say: "Our ancestors must have smoked very tiny pipes—pipes that hold only a mere whiff." In reality these pipes were never meant to be smoked. All the early tobaccoists in this country sold them to satisfy a demand of the superstitious. In country places in particular the friends of any dead man who had been a smoker would fill the small bowl of one of these pipes with tobacco and put it on the coffin as the latter was lowered into the grave, or they would simply throw the pipe on to the grave. Again, wherever a so-called "fairy ring" appeared on the turf in the country place, the simple folks, to appease the fairies and pigmies who had made the ring during their revels, and to soothe the impish little people, would place fairy pipes full of tobacco on the spot. The pipes were made small partly because they were intended for pigmies, and partly because in those days the merest pinch of tobacco was a luxury of price to the poor farm laborer or small farmer. Dewet's Audacity. A lady of Cape Town, on meeting Dewet for the first time, cried: "Oh! general, I am so pleased to meet you—or should I," she added naively, "address you as ex-general, as the English have it?" "Ex-general will do, madam. You see, I am a Britisher now, and as the English are so fond of prefixes and affixes to their names, I must be one of them. I am ex-general to-day. Who knows, some day I may be excellency!" and Dewet is said to have laughed at his own audacity.—San Francisco Argonaut. Such a Brave Boy. "I say, didn't I see you running down the street yesterday, with Bill Bounce after you?" "Y-e-s." "What did you run away for?"

YOUTHS' DEPARTMENT THE TIMID KITTEN. There was a little kitten once Who was of dogs afraid; And being by no means a dune, His plans he boldly made. He said: "It's only on the land. That dogs run after me, So I will buy a cat-boat, and I'll sail away to sea. "Out there from dogs I'll be secure, And each night, ere I sleep. To make assurance doubly sure, A dog-watch I will keep." He bought a cat-boat, hired a crew, And one fine summer day Triumphantly his flag he flew, And gaily sailed away. But in mid-ocean one midnight— "Twas very, very dark— The pilot screamed in sudden fright; "I hear a passing bark" "Oh, what is that?" the kitten said. The pilot said: "I fear An ocean greyhound's just ahead, And drawing very near." "Alack!" the kitten cried, "alack! This is no paltry pup. I am as well give up on my track— I may as well give up!" —Carolyn Wells, in St. Nicholas. SAVED BY ELEPHANT. Little Girl Is Rescued from Embrace of Ugly Bear by a Blow from His Trunk. A traveling circus and menageria had come to town in the early morning, and the men had set up the tent in a big vacant lot, and were now at work getting things ready for the afternoon performance. A good many men and boys—and some little girls, too—were in the lot nearly all the forenoon, watching what was going on, but they were particularly interested in an elephant and a bear that were chained each to a stake out- ELEPHANT DEFENDED HER. side the tent and not very far apart. While they stood about looking at the beasts a girl eight or nine years of age came out of the tent, and, approaching the elephant, began to play with him. She would hold a wisp of straw out to him, and when he thrust his trunk toward it she would jerk it away and jump back out of his reach. Then she would run all around him, and he would try to touch her with his trunk, but always in a gentile way as if he enjoyed the sport as much as she did. The people who were standing around looked at all this with starring eyes, as if they expected to see the little girl caught up and crushed to death by the great beast, but they found out later on that she was the daughter of one of the managers, who allowed her to play with the elephant whenever she pleased, as it was very fond of her, and seemed never so much delighted as when she was near it. Meanwhile the big bear was watching them, and soon began to show signs of not liking their play. He was evidently in a bad humor, but the girl was so full of her fun with her friend the elephant that she paid no attention to the bear. Presently, in jumping back to get out of the way of the elephant's trunk, she got within reach of the bear, and he seized her with his paw and would no doubt have killed her, but the elephant saw him, and struck him a blow with its trunk that laid him on the ground severely injured. Then there was great excitement; men yelled and boys and girls screamed, and a dozen circus men came running to see what was the matter. They found the little girl only slightly hurt, while the old elephant rocked himself to and fro in unmistakable delight over what he had done. D. B. Waggener, in Chicago Record-Herald. New Definition of Furlough. The word "furlough" occurred in a reading lesson of a primary grade in one of our public schools. The teacher asked: "Does any little boy or girl know the meaning of the word "furlough?" Whereupon one small hand was raised and shaken vigorously in the eagerness of the little urchin to display his knowledge, and when permitted by the teacher to do so, he arose, and with the greatest assurance said: "Furlough means a mule." Not a whit disturbed at the teacher's "Oh, no, it doesn't," the small boy confidently answered: "I have a book at home that says so." Then the teacher told him he might bring the book to school and show it to her. The next session he came armed with the book, and triumphantly showed her the picture of an American soldier bestride a mule, under which was printed: "Going home on his furlough." THE PALLADIUM.

LOUIS PALLADIUM IS in its 20th year of regular publication. (2) Never has missed an issue. (3) No fake subscription list to "catch" honest advertisers. (4) More bona fine subscribers than any other Negro paper in St. Louis or State. (5) The ONLY Negro newspaper published in St. Louis as the organ of the Republican party. (6) Because it is the official organ of Wright Cuney Political Club. (7) Because it is feierless in denouncing crime regardless of consequences. The Falladium is sold at the following places: 2617 Lawton avenue. 209 South 15th street. 1208 Wash street. 2652 Lucas avenue. Charleston, Mo. West Plains, Mo. 3104 State street, Chicago, Ill. HOW IS THIS? For the past two years as the Democrats have thrown out Republicans in the City Hall they are taken care of by the heads of the departments in the federal government. But when a negro man wants something they are told they must pass the civil service examination. The time is near at hand when we must speak out and ask our people to call a halt, and watch and see how the negro has been cast aside by the congressman and heads of the different departments of the federal government. We demand fair play. When we do start on this point we will call names and ask why we are thus treated? Mr. Bartholdt, our Congressman, and Mr. Bermann must answer this question. The double hanging yesterday ought to be a lesson to the young negro of today. It seems nowdays that a number of negroes are living by their wits, and when wits fail, they resort to crime to get money to live without work. Good Advice.

The manager of the Palladium wishes to thank the public for their general support to the Palladium since the 17th of September, 1898, to this time, May 9th, 1903. We have met with success after success—so much so that we have We have been so busy this week in changing our paper that we did not have time to pick out the dead-heads, but next week you see them. Here's what those who neglect the Palladium bills they owe are. The names of all to whom that term will apply will appear in the space below: We wish to call special attention to the continued stories which we will have published in our paper. We ask that you read all of them carefully. Let us know the result. On the Transit street cars as we were going south from Cass avenue, as we got at Morgan street, two cars collided. Car No. 612, of Morgan street, and car No. 691 of Jefferson avenue. As we saw the cars would come together we jumped west from the cars as did several ladies. No damage. But on the Morgan street line one colored lady was thrown from the car. Really, it was a general shake-up and a scare. If you wish to help the good cause along, go to old friend Jeff Smith, 1201 Morgan street, and get good drinks. Remember Mr. John W. Wheeler, Jr., is a professional pianist. He plays high-class music and he takes high-class advertisements for the Palladium. When you help us you help a worthy young man, John W. Wheeler, Jr. Miss Mintie A. Brown of 4309 Garfield avenue, is very siek and has been for several weeks. She wishes her many friends to visit her.

The Second Annual Convention of the "Colored National Emigration and Commercial Association," is directed to meet June 24th, 1903, in Montgomery, Ala., and remain in session for three consecutive days. This Association, consisting of members in all parts of the United States, among other things has for its chief object the purchase of a Steamship for Emigration and Commercial purposes. They have already in hand nearly thirty thousand dollars, and propose to raise the balance by selling ship stock, and place the vessel upon the ocean for travel and commerce. The members and friends of the organixation regard this the greatest project of the Negro since Emancipation, and that it is destined to accomplish more for his character and pocket than anything he has done. Persons not in harmony with the spirit and object of the Convention will not be present, while friends of the movement will be welcomed, and in some instances invited to take part. A dist.nguished United States Senator, whose name we withhold by his own request, will speak before the Convention, and others of national distinction will do the same. This call is made by order of the Executive Committee: Dr. W. H. Heard, President, Georgia. L. Howard Jones, Vice-President, O. N. B. Sterritt, D. D., South Carolina. W. H. Young, LL. D., Tennessee. J. C. Whitaker, Texas. Bishop L. H. Holsey, Director Gen. Robert H. Duncan, Alabama. Hon.W. A. Pledger, Solicitor. Bishop H. M. Turner, Chancellor. L. P. LEMON, Secretary. P. S.—For further information, address Dr. W. H. Heard, 149 Clark street, Atlanta, Ga. All persons attending this convention procure certificate from Railroad Agent which will entitle them to reduced rates. We publish the above article more as a favor than as an indication of approval of the object of the convention. Emigration to Africa by the Negro is only another of the multitudinous schemes in vogue to rid the United States of the ever-disturbing "Negro Question." The poor, deluded leaders have been led to believe that in the colonization of Africa lies the last resource for the saving of the American Negro. For those whohes ancestors for two or more generations have been born and reared on American soil, to give way to foreigners whose only object in coming to this country is make money to better their condition upon their return to their native land, speaks very poor for the Negroe's perseverance. The settlement upon African soil only means a change of sovereigns—in other words, only becoming subjects to a foreign power. If the Negro cannot pave his way amidst the height of civilization, there is precious small hope for him where civilization is in the embryo. A. F. and A. M. of Missouri and Its Jurisdiction.

It is the object of the management of the Iron Mountain Route to encourage and aid in every way possible, the development of the agricultural, mineral and industrial resources of the great Southwest. To accomplish this purpose, the assistance and co-operation of every farmer, miner, merchant and professional man in that section is earnestly requested. An increase in production in your section means a corresponding increase in wealth and a larger distribution of capital in the community. It means increased prosperity to all. The only way to obtain this increased production is to invite homeseekers and homemakers to come and settle in your section. Once lay before them in a clear and intelligent manner the many advantages of the Southwestern States and they will come. Show them United States Government statistics relative to the production of crops and minerals in that section, also statistics relative to the unparalleled climatic conditions which prevail year in and year out, thus insuring uniform crops, and they will be eager to accept your invitations. Let every one interested send in the names and addresses of prospective settlers and the Iron Mountain Route will attend to them. Descriptive and illustrated literature will be sent them of Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas, and very low rates of transportation offered to them to come and see for themselves. We are bending every effort to colonize the Southwest with a desirable class of settlers. It is to your interest to co-operate with us. For further information, call on nearest agent of the company, or address H. C. 10WNSEND. Gen. Pass. and Ticket Agent, St. Louis, Mo.

WOMAN INDI HOME MODERN SOCIETY WOMEN What Enchantment, Is Often Asked, Is It That Keeps Them Young and Truly Charming? There were seven wonders of ancient history. There are seven times seven in our own times, but the most wonderful of all is the society woman, ever young, ever beautiful, ever graceful, charming, fascinating, and a marvel to all beholders. She does not grow old, she never dies. She never loses her tact, her grace, her beauty. Like Tennyson's book she may say: "For men may come and men may go, But I go on forever." The doctors throw up their hands. They cannot solve the riddle. The beauty specialists shake their heads in silent wonder. The modern society woman laughs scorn to the ravages of time which lays its fingers so heavily upon all the rest of us more common clay. Ponce de Leon hunted for years for the fountain of youth and died in despair because MRS. WILLIAM ASTOR. he could not find it. But the society woman has discovered it. In every city can be found these beautiful society women who are such a marvel to every one known knows them or even hears of them. In Chicago, with its fresh crop of blushing buds at the beginning of each and every social season and all of its lovely women who have advanced from the debutante state into ripcr and fuller charms, there is no one yet, debutante, young matron, or the belle of many social seasons, who occupies the place held by Mrs. Palmer. One needs to be told many times that Mrs. Palmer is over 60 to believe that such a thing is true. Mrs. Palmer has yielded to time in only one particular; her hair is snow white. But snow-white hair is becoming to Mrs. Palmer. It goes well with black velvet and point lace. People are not asking themselves when Mrs. Palmer will yield up her place as a social leader. They are wondering, indeed, when she will marry again, for she is a widow. Her beauty is the talk of the Windy City. Only a year or two ago her picture was published in a magazine as one of America's "leading beauties." A "beauty of 60" would be a decided novelty—outside of society pale. Mrs. Palmer knows how to dress as does no other woman in Chicago. The woman who is the tyrant queen of American society to-day is Mrs. Astor, who is 73 years old. Nobody who has seen her sitting in a box at the opera, straight, lithe, beautiful, glittering, would suspect it. Yet the records say it is true. She is at the zenith of her social reign at this moment. So far is she from gray hairs and caps that her gowns and hats are considered the proper models for all the women of her set, young or old. When she wears a tiara, tiaras become the rage; when she wears green, green is the mode. Her frocks are cat like those of a woman of 27, yet she does not look out of place in them. Her hair is dressed in the modern fashion of pompadour and twist, just as the young matron or the slip of a boarding school girl dresses hers, for there is no age limit in the gowning and grooming of the society woman. Other women must adopt smooth locks and chin bonnets after 50. The society woman would look utterly and furlish in them. The wave and the curl are still hers to command at 100 if she will. In the coal black tresses above Mrs. Astor's brow there is not one thread of gray. The society woman becomes gray only when it is becoming or smart. Mrs. Astor's chief charis is her smile. The youthful light in her eyes is one of her attractions, constantly quoted by society writers. Dare anyone suggest false teeth and spectacles? That would be ridiculous. The society woman flourishes without them. Today Mrs. Astor's life is fuller, more active, gayer than that of the average woman of 25. To be invited to one of her balls is to be socially "made." Her power is fifty times what it was fifty years ago. Her manner, her grace of movement, poise of head; her charities, her fetes, her comings and goings and doings are all the constant subjects of public comment. She is spoken of as "interesting." "charming," "clever;" but the person who might call her "a dear old thing" would be heard with shocked surprise and amusement. Society would scarcely comprehend him. SCIENCE OF PACXING. Very Few Women Are Familiar with It, Although It Is a Comparatively Easy Task. Before commencing the actual packing of a trunk it is a very good plan to collect in one room and in plain view everything that is to be placed in the trunk. You will then see exactly what you have to find accommodation for, and nothing will be forgotten. Something soft and flat should pave the trunk—a warm petticoat, which you may or may not require, is suitable for this purpose. On this anything flat and heavy should be laid, remembering that only necessaries should be taken if weight is a consideration. The writing case also occupies this layer, and any small spaces can be filled up with rolled stockings and other small objects. The boots and shoes, each in a holland bag, may come next, and form a layer of their own, which can be shared with the brush and comb and sponge bag. Then linen and woolen underwear, between which any jewelry you may be taking can be placed; also your hand glass, scent bottles, or anything else of a breakable nature. The dress skirts come next, and should be folded at the hips, so as to get as much length as they can. Do not turn them inside out. Jackets and capes follow, the former lying flat on their backs, with the sleeves laid across their fronts. Capes should be spread out as much as possible. The tray is reserved for hats, dress bodices and skirts, and light, small things, such as veils and neckties. The bodices will repay any trouble spent upon them in the way of stuffing with crumpled paper by emerging uncrushed at the end of the journey. Over all the things in the tray a soft towel should be spread. Long sash ends, if attached to the bodices, should be rolled up, and bow-loops ought to be stuffed with balls of paper. Gloves are laid flat. If the hats are trimmed with upstanding feathers it is better to take them out and let them travel flat. Veils can be rolled and collars packed inside of hat crowns. Do not attempt to squeeze your things into a trunk too small for them; but, on the other hand, the trunk should not be too roomy, or the contents will shake about and run great risk of damage.—Chicago American. MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS. Widow of Confederate President Lives in a Modest Way in a New York Family Hotel. Mrs. Jefferson Davis, the widow of the late leader of the southern confederacy, is living in a little world of her own. She has taken up her residence in New York and for economic reasons will probably spend the remainder of her days there. She has an apartment in the old Hotel Gerard, in West Forty-fourth street, and lives on the fourteenth floor. Her windows overlook the surrounding roofs, and only on few occasions does she ever leave her rooms. She walks with difficulty and does not have to visit, as her friends pay court to her as if she were a royal personage. Mrs. Davis uses a tall cane as people did 100 years ago, and the head is of tortoise shell and gold. She has as a companion a sweet-faced southern woman who is always with her. On Wednesday afternoons the famous woman sits in a MRS. JEFFERSON DAVIS. high-backed chair that came from Beauvoir, the Davis homestead, and then she receives the long file of admiring women who call. These are notable gatherings and there are as many northerners as women from south of the Mason and Dixon line. On these occasions Mrs. Davis wears stiff black silk, with old irate at her throat, and despite her years her white hair is abundant and glistens brilliantly in the afternoon light. The companion serves tea and Mrs. Davis, who is a noted conversationist, holds the attention of everyone without an effort. Her mind is remarkably alert and she keeps abreast of the topics of the day. In her interesting rooms nothing is so engrossing as the portrait of Miss Winnie Davis, her daughter. It is an excellent likeness and the former child of the confederacy is depicted wearing the royal robes of the queen of Mardi Gras. The picture is surrounded by incandescent bulbs, and before this portrait the mother spends much of her time gazing and thinking. In the portrait Miss Davis is smiling and it is the same expression that endeared her to people when she was alive. Mrs. Davis' other daughter, Mrs. J. A. Hays, is in the west, but she visits New York frequently. EMPHASIZING THE GOOD. Little Denunciation in the Teaching of Jesus as Recorded in the New Testament. It is striking to note how little of denunciation there is in the teaching of Jesus, says the Baptist Union. It is true that when occasions demanded it, He did not spare in sharp denunciation; but as a general thing He held up the better side of things, and in their contrast with the devil the good always appeared to better advantage. There are too many teachers dealing in invective; they are ever scolding something or somebody; and the good they do is reduced to the minimum. Some notable missionaries were discussing the question of condemning heathen idolatry; of the habit of some missionaries in seeking the points of disagreement, instead of reaching for a meeting place where the heathen and the missionary could touch hearts. One of the speakers, Bishop Thoburn, said: "My boys have learned to lay emphasis on the love of Christ, and let idol destruction take care of itself." If his "boys" have learned that secret, they have learned the secret of soul winning. And it may be added that that is not a secret for missionaries only, but for those who work among the ungodly in this enlightened land. There must needs be condemnation of sin; one must cry aloud, and spare not; but when denunciation is the staple article of the preacher of the Gospel, he has almost forgotten that his message is the "good tidings" of the Christ who came with a heart full of love for the lost. The point of contact is heart interest, not fierce denunciation, with most people in this unhappy world. Emphasize the good; do not be faithless in condemning sin; but be faithful in telling forth the love of the Christ. Emphasize the good! WRITE IT ON TEE SKY. A Pure Life Defies the Attempts of the Blackmailers of Character. The story is told of a man who sent word to Mr. Spurgeon saying that if he did not hear from him in a tangible way within a few days he would "expose" him, intimating that there were some things in the life of the great preacher which had better be kept under. But the true man sent back this short word: "Write it on the sky." The fact was that he had nothing to fear; his life had been open before men from the beginning, and there was nothing to be concealed. It is needless to say that he never heard of the blackmailer, who expected to catch the preacher unawares, and not only get some money out of him, but also make him confess that there were some things in his life which were not what they should have been. But he got after the wrong man. The truest protection against blackmail is innocence. It was Emerson who said: "If thou wouldst not be known to do anything never do it!" The man who ever walks in the light will not fear the works of darkness. They cannot harm him. It is the man who walks in the night who is liable to be attacked by the dwellers in the night. Keep in the daylight; have nothing to do with "shady" things. The night is not only dark, but it contains foes that one cannot see; yet they creep up behind one and strike—and the daydawn shows not only the work of a demon, but the life of a man who was near enough to the demon to be stricken. One need not always live in the blaze of the public eye; in a real sense his own life is none of the public's business. Yet he need have no fear of the public eye if his private life is lived in the daylight. Here is the strong sense of the philosopher repeated: "If thou wouldst not be known to do anything, never do it!"—Baptist Union. GEMS OF THOUGHT Life is but the memories of yesterday, the duties of to-day and the anticipations of to-morrow. A man who does not know how to learn from his mistakes turns the best school-master out of his life.—Henry Ward Beecher. We are each of us individual color screens, and our characters are known by what we absorb or eliminate, and by what we receive and reflect.—Elizabeth S. McClure. The late Maltbie D. Babcock said, "You are not responsible for the disposition you were born with, but you are responsible for the disposition you die with." Be thankful for the darkness into which you have been led. If the way to the light that never shall go out must lie through darkness, be thankful for the darkness.—Phillips Brooks. We are not ashamed to go to others for bodily healings; why this reluctance or hesitation to go out of ourselves and beyond ourselves for spiritual healings? No sick man apologizes for going to the physician.—Joseph Parker. When a man says that life isn't worth living, it is because he himself, has taken all the worth out of it. Life is worth living or not according to how a man lives. The higher ideals one has the more worth while it is to live.—Well Spring. We believe that true religion speaks in actions more than in words, and manifests itself chiefly in the common temper and life—in giving up the passions to God's authority, in inflexible uprightness and truth, in active and modest charity, in candid judgment, and in patience under trials and difficulties.—Channing. DOAN'S CHANGE DOUBT TO GLAD SURPRIS GET RICH QUICK Deer Destroying Watermelons. A remarkable complaint has been nled with the territorial game warden. For two years the shooting of deer has been absolutely prohibited in the territory, and the animals have become very plentiful. Farmers living near Carney, who are raising watermelons, complain that the herds of the deer come every night to their patches and eat all the ripe melons. They are forbidden to shoot or capture them, and demand from the game wardens protection for their crops.—Guthrie (Okla.) Cor. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Wettest Place on Earth. Cherrapunji, in Assam, northeast of Calcutta, has the reputation of being the wettest place on the earth, the average annual rainfall being 493.15 inches, while it has the record of one month in which 147.17 inches fell. This year it seems to beat all previous records, 267.84 inches of rain having fallen between January 1 and the middle of June, five months and a half, while 73.79 inches, over six feet of water, fell in a single week.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Extraordinary Forest. The most extraordinary forest in the world was discovered by Dr. Welwitsch, and occupies a tableland some six miles in width, near the west coast of Africa. The peculiarity of the trees is that, though their trunks are as much as four feet in diameter, they attain the height only of a foot. No tree bears more than two leaves, and these attain a length of six and a breadth of two feet.-Cincinnati Enquirer. Youthful Dagger Wielders. The art of self-defense is inculcated early among some of the wilder tribes of the Caucasus, who instruct their children, as soon as they can walk, in the use of the dagger. First, the little ones are taught to stab water without making a splash, and, in the course of time, incessant practice gives them an extraordinary command over the weapon.—N. Y. Sun. The Cornfed Philosopher. "My only objections to the chainless wheel and the horseless carriage is their responsibility for such an awful lot of pointless jokes," was the remark of the Cornfed Philosopher at the close of the grocery symposium. — Indianapolis Journal.

There was no hint of relenting in his voice. “J guess we're not goin’ to wait till Cynthy sta-arves, are we, ‘Thaddeus Keith? Do you know what she had for dinner toxlay?” “Muffins,” murmured little Tad, shame facedly. “Dry. "Phout any butter on.” “Lwo,” added ‘imothy, briefly. “Yoc wouldn't like two dry, "thout-any-butter muffins for your dinner, would you?” “No—oh, no!” murmured little ‘Tad, ‘Then there was silence. Both boys were remembering their own lunch. » Tad smacked his “mind lips” over the crisp: brown hermits and the little round saucer pie—there was almost always a saucer pie in little Tad’s lunch basket. Timothy had great, beautiful wedges of pie in his, and you could see the plums along the edges of the wedge. Then Timmie's doughnuts! ‘Yad’s mouth—his “mind mouth”—watered at the thought of them. His doughnuts were good, but Timmie’s!—Timmie anv he played swap games at dinner and ate each other’s lunches sometimes. “She ate ‘em both up while I was settin’ my table,” whispered little Tad solemnly, remembering Cynthy’s quick, hungry bites. He was glad he had slipped two of his her- mits into her pail when she wasn’t look- ing, and Timmie had dropped in a dough- nut, Cynthy had never foumd out yet where her little “windialls” came from. She looked upon them with grave thank: fulness, as manna out of heaven. ‘Timothy had explained a “sympathy strike” to Tad. “You don’t strike ‘cause you're abused yourself, you know, but ‘cause somebody else is, You do it out o° sym- pithy. Eomebody else don’t get Wages enough—Cynthy don’t get dinner enough and you strike till they—till she does. Then you go to work again same as ever. ‘All the time you're a-strikin’ you're a-sayin’: ‘opisn't us. We have dinner enough in our dinner baskets. But Cynthy hasn’t—merey, no! You've got to give Cynthy more din- ner, with butter on, or else we don’t work for you. We've struck, me and Tad. Tad won't bring your mail and I won't bring Your milk. But just the minute you prom- ise to put plenty of butter on Cynthy’s din- ner, and plenty of dinner, then we'll go to work like evervthing.’ That's all_you'ye got to do,” explained Timothy, ‘That's a symp'thy strike.” Cynthy, was just Cynthy. She may have had another name, back in her dreary little past, when she lived in the almshouse, but not singe she came to live with Mrs. Flint, She was a grave, unchildish, lean little thing of ten, but she might have heen 40. ‘All the good times she could remember were the times when the “manna” had fallen out of heaven into her dinner pail. She never romped or laughed, like a little child, Out of school she always worked. ‘Mrs, Flint lived in an out-of-the-way place, “half way. between everything,” she com- plained. She hired little Tad for ten cents 4 week to bring her mail, and Timothy for 4 quarter to. bring her milk and chop her kindlings, ‘The only reason she did not let Cynthy do both things and save the 35 cents a week was because Cynthy was always do- ing something else. Timothy and Tad were all the “hired help” she employed. ‘At four o'clock, with a whoop and a whis- tle, the little Webster district school was “out.” Timmie and Tad waited behind till everybody ele had gone home, then they ‘walked slowly down the sun-mottled road Even ‘Timmie looked a little pale, but his resolute little jaw was set stiffly. There was to be no turning back now. “Keep thinkin’ about those muffins, Tad- die,” he said, encouragingly. “Keep sayin’ to yourself how dry they looked and how they didn’t have a speck 0’ butter on. If you ever ate dry ones, *thout any butter on, you'll know how to strike a eymp'thy strike all right.” “But [never,” murmured little Tad, “no, I never, Timmie, honest.” “Well, I have. I ate one a-purpose. I know how it feels,” Timothy said. Mrs. Flint was waiting at the door. Her crisp, sharp voice came down the lane to meet them, “You got a letter for me to-day, didn’t you Thaddeus?” she called, “I’m expecting one. T wish you'd hurry 4 little faster and bring it up here to me. I can’t pay little boys for crawling.” ‘Timothy put his hand on little Tad’s arm and pushed him along. “Go on amd tell her you've struck, can’t you!” he whispered. Then, at sight of the terrified little freckled face, he took away his hand and stepped forward himself. “No'm, he hasn't got any letter. Maybe there's one, but he hasn’t got it. He's struck, and’so have I. We've both struck. We aren’ goin’ to work again till you give Cynthy more dinner.” “With butter on,” quavered little Tad eagerly. Tne hard face in the doorway reganied hoth their pale little faces in utter amaze ment, Somewhere in the background of the dark little hall Cynthy’s Wondering face ap- peared as out of a mist. “You see it's a—a symp'thy strike,” ex- plained Timothy hurriedly. His knees were shaking under their frayed little corduroys. “You know what a ssmp'thy strike is, don’t you, ma'am? Well, anyway, it’s one you Mrike out of symp'thy for folks—Cynthy, you know, when she doesn’t have dinner enough to eat. We're sorry for Cynthy and We've struck, "Tisn’t us—we've got. our wages, We haven’t got much, but we don’t feel bad enougl to strike "count o” that. What we want is Cynthy to have sandwiches and cookies and pieces 0’ pie and—" “Butter on.” “Yes, sume as other folke. We'll go to work again, honest Injun, the minute you promise to give ‘em to her, ma'am. Tad’l get your letter all a-flyin’, and I'l chop the Kindlings. ‘The minute. It's a symp'thy strike, that’s all.” Cynthy’s small, pale face disappeared in the gloom. She’had found out where tie Heavenly manna came from, and her heart THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. Leason tm the International Series for May 10, 1903—The Plot Against Paul. ‘THE LESSON TEXT. J® And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound them- Selves under @ curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had kiied Paul, 18 And there were more than 40 which had made this conspiracy. U4, And they came to the ebfef priests and elders, and said, We have bound ourselves under a great curse, that we will eat noth- ing until we have slain Paul, 15. Now, therefore, ye with the counell signify to the chief captain that he bring him down unto you to-morrow, as though Ye would inquire something more perfectly concerning him: and we, or ever he come Rear, are ready to Kill him, 16,‘And when Paul's sister's son heard ot their Iying in walt, he went and entered into the castle, and told Paul. 37, Then Paul called one of the centurions unto him, and said, Bring this young man unto the chief captain: for he hath a cer- tain thing to tell him. 18. So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, ard safd, Paul the pris- oner called me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee, 39, Then the chief captain took him by the hand, and went with him aside private- ly, and asked him, What is that thou hast to tell me? 29, And he sai@: ‘The Jews have agreed to desire theo that thou wouldest bring down. Paul to-morrow into the council, as though they would inquire somewhat af him more perfectly. 21, But do not thou yield unto them: for there lie in walt for him of them more than forty men, which have bound themselves With an oath, that they will neither eat hor drink till they have killed him: and now are they ready,looking for a promise from thee, 22.

TIME.—A. D, 58, PLACE.—Jerusiilem, NOTES AND COMMENTS. This lesson follows the last withour a break. Paul had been arrested, and at the opening of the lesson is carried into the castle of Antonia, which joined the temple court on the north, to be tortured with the hope of extort- ing a confession of his supposed guilt from him. Paul's speech on the stairs was in Hebrew. Probably the chief captain did not understand it, but he thought there must be something wrong with Paul to throw the crowd into such a frenzy of rage, and he determined to find out by torturing him. Paul's Roman citizenship was all that saved him from this ordeal. It was contrary 40 the Roman law to torture a Roman citizen. Paul’s ease was evidently too much for the Roman officer, but he still be- lieved from the actions of the Jews that his prisoner must certainly be guilty of something, and so he called upon the Sanhedrin, the highest coun- cil of the Jewish nation, to help him get at the truth. Paul’s first words to them were not a boast of a sinless life, but @ protestation of his loyalty as a Jew to the God of the Jews—a plea of “not guilty.” Paul's conduct, when smitten, is in striking contrast with that of the Master under similar circumstances, and yet we cannot feel that his indignation was unjustifiable. Remember that this session of the San- hedrin was informal; that probably the Roman officer was presiding and uit tie high sirlest, a5 fu ezulas aoe sions; and the high priest did not wear a distinctive dress except when en- gaged in actual service, and that Paul had been a stranger at Jerusalem for many years. It was thus natural that Paul should not recognize the high priest in the crowd. When he discov- | ered what he had done, he apologized. ‘The resurrection of Christ and of christian occupied a very large place in Paul’s preaching. He may have been speaking of this—for Luke only gives us snatches of what went on be- fore the Sanhedrin—when he saw the opportunity to divide the council against itself and so prevent its tak- ing any action against him. ‘The chiet captain, little wiser than before, took Paul back to the castle. “The Jews:” Probably a mixture of the enemies from Asia, the most bit- ter of the Jerusalem Sadducees, and the order of the Assassins, spoken of last week. “Bowed . . underacurse:” Invoked: a curse upon themselves if they should fail to keep their oath. “Came to the chief priests:” those of the Sadducean party, of whom Ana- nias was one. They: agreed to aid the sonspirators (v. 20). “Paul's sister's son:” How he learned we do not know. “Told Paul:” Showing that Paul's friends had access to him. “Took him by the hand:" As if he were a mere lad. The cbief captain seems to have sympa- thized with Paul. He was probably onvinced by this time that the action of the Jews was fanatical and outra- geous, and that Paul was not guilty. ‘The most dangerous part of ‘the journey to Caesarea was passed when the troops reacbed Antipratis in the moining. ‘The infantry returned to Je- rusa!em, and only the troop of cavalry escorted Paul the rest of the way to Caesarea, where he was to await his “PE-RU-NA SAVED MY LIFE,” A YOUNG MOTHER'S LETTER.

TP thesroman of ancient Israel not to become a mother was regarded asthe greatest of earthly calamities. To become a mother—more especially the mother of @ strong. healthy boy— was the height of glory for the faithfal woman of the good old Bible days. Even now, when maternity is not es. teemedas of yore, the mother of health; children is an object of admiration, and sometimes envy, by her neighbors.

Know all Brothers and Sisters by these presents, that the Eleventh (11) Triennial Session of the National Grand Lodge will convene in the city of St. Louis, Mo., on the 4th Wednesday in July, 1903, the 22d day, at 8 a. m. Each State Grand Lodge is hereby notified to send three delegates, and each Subordinate Lodge one delegate. Each State Grand Temple is entitled to two female delegates, and each Subordinate Temple to one delegate in the session of the National Grand Temple, which will convene Wednesday, July 22, 1903, at 8 a. m. The delegates representing State Grand Lodges must have their credentials signed by the Grand Master and Grand Secretary. Each Subordinate Lodge delegate must have their credentials signed by the Master and Secretary. The order in St. Louis is making extensive preparation to entertain the Grand Bodies of the Order, hence all Camps should lay aside all feeling of the past and adorn their full faith in "Justice and show Mercy and speak the Truth" and be on hand. Grand Master S. T. Pettigrew, of Missouri, reassures the National Grand Master and the Knight Commander of the further good faith existiag in the State. The above is the official notice of the National Grand Master, W. A. Gaines. We hope that the committee in St. Louis will lock carefully to the work on hand. The work cannot be accomplished unless we have qualified and determined men and women at the head. First have peace and good will to all and then persevere. Let that be the watchword.

AFTER. ```markdown ``` Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics. OZONO. with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that $0.00. Now, we ask you a plain quest orifice $0.00 if you are dissatisfied with true to all we claim for them?

We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one who has used Ozone has been satisfied in every respect. 20,000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every purchaser recommends Ozone as the King of all Hair Tonics. Ozone will positively take the Kinks out of Knotty, Kinky, Harsh, Curly, Refractory, Troublesome Hair. It will make short, harsh hair long and straight.

It will restore gray hair to its natural color, making the hair long and soft. Now, right here, let us make a statement. Many firms are advertising remedies to straighten hair, but when they send the preparation they tell you to use hot irons. Friends, do not use hot irons; they will burn up the life of the hair, and cause it to drop out. Ozone straightens without any outside assistance. Nothing but Ozone is necessary, and the hair stays straight forever. You can stop the use at any time. The good effects on the hair are seen in a day or two after the first application.
