FEATURES OF THE EXERCISES Institution Founded and Made Famous by Bocker T. Washington Rounds Out Thirty Years' Work Amid Brilliant Scenes, Surrounded by Many Distinguished Visitors. By N. BARNET DODSON. Tuskegee Ma.—Tuskegee Institute's thirtieth annual commencement, which began May 12 and closed May 25, was the most successful in the history of the institution. The number of academic diplomas, industrial certificates, from the various industrial divisions of the school and certificates from the Pheps Hall Bible Training school obtained. The large number of visitors present, included distinguished men of both races from carolina sections of the country. On Sunday, May 21, at 1:30 p. m., students, teachers and visitors marched in a body to the institute chapel, where they listened to the commence ACIE JONES, SALUTATORIAN. ment sermon eloquently preached by the Right Rev. John C. Kilgo of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. Following the sermon Bishop Kilgo addressed a few earnest words to the members of the graduating class, who arose in a body to receive his blessing. On Monday night the graduating exercises of the Phelps Hall Bible Training school were held. This was the eighteenth anniversary. The alumni address was made by the Rev. William I. Burton of the class of 1900 and the annual address by the Rev. W.A. Blackwell of Montgomery, Ala. The Trinity church (Boston) oratorial contest was held in the chapel on Tuesday night. The prizes were $25 and $15. A large and enthusiastic audience was present. Commencement day. Thursday, May 25, was given over entirely to the excerpts of the grindstaff class and was divided into two sessions, the morning session, which began at 10:20, and the afternoon session, which began at 2:30. Fourteen years ago Tuskegee departed entirely from the traditional commencement and in an old pavilion had illustrative material brought to the platform and there explained to the audiences which gathered, to hear the youthful speakers. Instead, of such essays as 'Beyond the Alps Lies Italy' 'After School What' etc., the SENIOR CLASS MARCHING FROM CHAPEL ON COMMENCEMENT DAY. students were directed to write essays on subjects dealing with their everyday school life. The sanitary, "The Care and Feeding of Cows For Milk Production" was delivered by Ace Jones of Thousandville, Ga. He told in a simple, straightforward way of the things he had learned in the dairying division of the school. By way of illustration, two cows were brought upon the stage-one a fine Jersey and the other a poor "scrub" cow. He demonstrated to the satisfaction of his hearers that, although the Jersey cow was more costly than the "scrub" in the beginning. she was by far the lower investment. The stairway was in part as follows: Dear friends, you who have made it possible for us to reach the goal for which we have been seeking for the past year, your hearty welcome. Dearest teachers, you who have kept watch over us and guided us through these many years, we welcome you. Dear friends, you who have stood us in our struggles and hardships, we welcome you here to this institution. In the course of these exercises and our earlier afterward we demonstrate to you that the hearty support you have given us has been used to the best advantage in making useful men and women we shall feel that we have been able to give you one love and this institution. One of the ways in which you have helped us and in which we shall try to pay this debt is through dairying. I will give you an idea of how cows are feel and cared for in the school's dairy husbandry division. In this division we have the following feeds from which to compound our ration: Cottonseed meal, cornmeal, wheat shorts and rapa, corn meal, cottonseed nuts, lily, cabbage and when bran, cottonseed nuts, shallows are mixed, parts of hulls to every three parts of cilage, and each cow is given about forty pounds of this mixture. The mixture and shorts are mixed one part of cornmeal to two parts of wheat shorts and six parts of cottonseed meal, and each cow is given about one pound of this mixture to every four pounds of milk she produces. Most of the other speakers used illustrations also: "Building a Closed Stairway" by Jessie O. Thomas, a graduate in carpentry, was illustrated with a model of the stairway, which had been placed upon the platform. Similar illustrations were Opportunities For the Negro Dressmaker In Her Community. by Flora Boaz of Kansas City, Kan. "Some Simple Operations In Electricity." by Victor Daniels of the island of St. Thomas, Danish West Indies, and "Making Old Hats." by Estelle Williams of West Point, Miss. "Extension Work In Maron County, 7 by Anderson Wells, Waugh, Alar, and "Carrying the School Into the Home," by Opinia Hamilton. Columns. Miss. while not illustrated, were well thought out and interesting. The valedictory, "Modern Methods In Education," was delivered by Julius Freeman of Wilson, N.C. He said in part: "Until a comparatively recent date our educational system had a particular end. Children were the general knowledge would entail a person to be a successful artisan, or professional man. With this idea in mind the studies had little or no connection with reality. Arithmetic was tainted with no application to real substances. Children were told that sixteen ounces equal one pound, and yet they had no conception of a pound or of systems of weights or measures were taught in this abstract manner, and problems based upon this theoretical knowledge were solved to the latter satisfaction of the pupil and teacher. Likewise grammar had no connection with ordinary speech. The kindergarten carries the modern idea of teaching through play. No obstruction is given from the book. The children are taught to observe and make simple designs to observe and make the play of children. Kindergarten is home training under more nearly perfect conditions. The training school serves as a bridge for the children of the immediate community A. B. JULIUS: FREEMAN, VALIDICTOHIAN. to pass from the kindergarten to tuskee-tee proper. The play element is beset and a more delite shuffle them to their lives and character, introducing car-pier, printer, cooking and sewing hard the upper classes. Dear teachers, we leave you with many regrets, for we realize and appreciate how closely your lives have been associated with ours. Our troubles have been your troubles, and when we would have done unnusually you guided us with hands that were firm, yet gentle. Through it all you have striven to give us instruction that would prepare us for useful life. We shall endeavor to show in our lives the result of your teaching. Dear principal, the class of BILI pills you farewell. We shall strive to reduce in our lives the fundamental education that we so wisely laid down for the benefit of humanity. We shall always remember the diversity of lives and to do with our might what our hands fail to do. Our lives shall prove to the world the competency of industrial education in raising our standard to a high life of service. Challenges, we must bid farewell to all these species made dear by pliant and helpful associations. We must have bled for the friends who have contributed so much to our lives and, to keep us, we must bid each other well. Goes is coming in. We do where duty calls us, we would be worrying in mind our motto. There is no necessity without conflict. Let us do our best and trust in God. Scholars, teachers, and principal, the class of 11 as a class did you farewell! Following the valedictory, the commencement address was delivered by Jude Robert H. Terrell of Washington. Then the diplomas were given out to the members of the graduating class by Principal Washington, and the meeting closed with the singing of the "Halloween Chorus" by the choir.

Work, Integrity, Tact, Temperance, Prudence, Courage, Faith. THE HOME OF THE HUNTERS Situated in Collins avenue, East End, and will be open in the near future. It is the only institution of its kind in the city. NEW HOSPITAL WILL SOON BE READY TO OPEN No Creed and No Color Is Barred by Leaders of Worthy Charity Pittsburgh's only emergency hospital and the only institution of its character in the State which dispenses medical aid gratis regardless of creed or color, will soon open its new home in Collins avenue, East End. A handsome tour-story, building, constructed of brick, steel and cement, and as nearly fire proof as modern building construction will permit, situated on the site of the old Gillespie mansion in Collins avenue, is nearing its completion. The new structure which was erected at a cost of $99,000 has a frontage of 75 feet on Collins avenue and runs back 140 feet to Culvert street, giving it the advantage of an entrance on two streets. The hospital, which is up-to-date in every respect, contains 95 rooms, two operating rooms and four private rooms. It will be capable of taking care of 100 patients and will have a staff of 14 physicians. The idea of an emergency hospital was conceived about six years ago by Dr. J. J. Mullen, of 1200 Penn avenue, when a small boy who had been struck by a street car in the East Liberty district and one of his legs was go badly crushed—that immediate amputation was necessary to save his life. The lad was taken to the office of Dr. J. Mullen, where the operation was performed and the little patient was discharged in less than eight weeks. Later a room was rented in the Killack building in Penn near Collins avenue, adjoining the regular office of the doctor to handle just such emergency cases. In a short while the work grew to such proportions that it was found necessary to acquire larger quarters. In December 1901, the old G. Jesse mansion, containing 16 rooms, in the rear of the present building, was leased and if soon was found necessary to erect if additional rooms. It was not long, however, until the institution found itself again cramped for space and with liberal con-ributions from charitably inclined citizens and a small appropriation from the State it was found, possible to erect the new building. Just as soon as the promised donations have been received, the new building will be equipped with cots, furniture and the other necessary appliances and the structure, which is known as the General Emergency hospital, will be formally opened. The officers of the institution are William A. Hawley, president; W. K. Kulnin, vice president; J. D. Walker, secretary; and Dr. J. M. Millen, treasurer. The board of directors at Colonel Frank J. Esthilde, Carson Rutledge, William May J. Fred Blanco, George King and J. O. O'Connor. MARRIAGE LICENSES ISSUED DURING WEEK —Courtesy Pittsburg Post. PAY YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS Redemption of Pledges in Full Means Much to Race in Pittsburgh. It now behooves every man or woman who subscribed to the Building Fund for Y. M. C. A. to redeem their pledges at once. The building has now been bought at a cost of about $500, which is well and centrally located on Center avenue, two doors above the Irene Kaufmann Memorial home. Every captain and worker in that glorious campaign, when about $12,000 was subscribed, should now take on his coat and try to collect every cent pledged by our people. At present a little over $5,000 has been collected and paid. We made a grand record in this building campaign, and it will ever rebound to our credit, if all of those pledges are redeemed. With the equipment of this building and needed improvements that will be necessary to make it adaptable for Y. M.C. A. purposes, the race will have in Greater Elittsburg a building of which you need not be ashamed. The good work which this association will be able to do for the uplifting of the race, by the redemption of these pledges means much not only to the present generation, but generations unborn, it means higher ideals, better men mentally, physically and morally.

June 1.—That is a prospect that Frank R. Steward, a negro lawyer of Pittsburgh may be the next United States minister, to Hawaii, the most important if not the only post in the diplomatic service that is given to colored men. Secretary or State Knox is understood to be making Steward for the place and it is thought probable he will be ashamed the President has been directly inclined to give the place to Charles Anderson, a New York Negro who was appointed by Roosevelt with a certain of internal affairs in the provinces. Secretary Knox is informed in Hawaii and our relations with that good example represent Everybody who reads magazines buys newspapers, but everybody who reads newspapers doesn't buy magazines.

Holmes Has Placed the Organization in Position to Regain Much of Its Former Prestige. Management of Old Regime to Be Made Known to the Order. BY GEORGE FRANCIS KING. Richmond, Va.—The True Reformers have again been given a chance to fully rehabilitate by the insurance commissioner of this state renewing the license of the organization to do business. There is rejoicing in every state where there is a fountain. After a strenuous period, which revealed the loyalty of the members of the organizations throughout the brotherhood and the splendid spirit of the white people, especially of Virginia, to GEAND MASTER A. W. HOLMES. help the fraternity to "come back," the order will undoubtedly cause a new phase of management of affairs which have made it the cynosure of the conservative element of the race and the business world. Accepting the stupendous task of adjusting the business of the organization to the extent that it would survive the deplorable mismanagement of the past ind, finally, through the assistance of thousands of members and W. P. Burrell, who is a recognized authority on insurance matters among our own people, Grand Master A. W. Holmes has ultimately restored the organization to the position where there is a chance of placing it on the same business basis. A number of the members of the board of directors are for the revealing of the entire transactions of the officials of the old regime, and they will not let up until the people shall know everything. Concerning the disposition of said officials now in office, Mr. Holmes, when interviewed by a representative of the press in part said: "I am determined to purge the order of all uncleanliness and will not cease until the people will be given the true status of affairs and their every interest protected. "New members can now be taken in, and a dispensation of $3 has been granted to former members. The office force has struggled valiantly and raised over $1,200 on account of the redemption fund." The following editorial from the News-Leader, Richmond's popular afternoon paper, is interesting. It says: "We very sincerely congratulate the True Reformers on the renewal of their license to do business by the insurance department of the state. The zeal, energy and self sacrifice of the Negroes in rehabilitating their great institution is deserving of all praise and commendation. The definite destruction and ruin of this great Negro organization would have been a terrible blow to the race and the prestige of the race. For years this order has been poised to as an evidence of the Negro's capacity to build, to construct and to achieve. It has rendered an immense service to the race. "There is much that it can do in the future. The spirit with which their people have come to their assistance and enabled the order to survive the calamitous misfortunes which had seemed to have overwhelmed it gives promise not only of the order's survival, but assurance that, chastened by adversity, it will go forward and perform still greater things for its people and enjoy still wider respect and consideration." Ambassador Bryce Consistentious. Ambassador James Bryce of Great Britain in a recent address to the members of the Y. M. C. A. in Washington is quoted as having said in the course of his speech: "Our progenitors did your progenitors a grave injustice in bringing them into this country in a state of servitude, and it is our duty to do all in our power to make up for this injustice." He was accompanied by Mrs. Bryce. As he entered and left the hall the audience arose while the hand played "God Save the King." Eight Days Required to Cover Program of Exercises at Forty-second Annual Commencement of Widely Known Institution In Washington, Judge Wendell P. Stafford Speaks By OLIVER RANDOLPH. With all the pomp and ceremony characteristic of great, universities the forty-second annual commencement of Howard University came to a close Wednesday evening, May 31, in the presence of a large audience composed largely of relatives and friends of the graduates. More than 150 young men and women received degrees. The degree of bachelor of arts was conferred upon about forty young men and women, twenty-seven from the College of Arts and Sciences and thirteen from the Teachers' College. Thirty-eight were in the senior medical class as candidates for the degree of doctor of medicine. Twenty-one were in the senior dental class as candidates for the degree of doctor of dental surgery. Thirteen were in the senior class in pharmacy as candidates for the degree of doctor of pharmacy. Twenty-nine were in the senior law class as candidates for the degree of bachelor of laws. In the school of Theology there were seventeen seniors in the day school and fourteen in the night school. There were seven seniors in the normal course, thirty-nine seniors in the academy and twelve seniors in the Commercial college. The number of degree and nondegree, graduates PRESIDENT W. P. THIRKIELD. this year is the largest in the history of the school, thus making the commencement just closed the greatest of all Howard commencements. President Wilbur Patterson Thirkieh, the distinguished head of this institution, secured the services of Judge Wendell Phillips Stafford of the supreme court of the District of Columbia as the commencement speaker. The colored people in general were highly pleased with this selection, for they recognize Judge Stafford as one of the strongest friends to the cause of Negro education in this country. Noteworthy, indeed, were the scenes on this commencement day. In the audience could be seen men and women high in life's walks-bishops and ministers who are at the top of their profession; doctors and lawyers who have won fame in their callings; educators whose learning has made them celebrated: both Government officials and other prominent in political affairs. The representative character of the audience was filibustered noteworthy. To many the most inspiring as well as the most beautiful, and classic scene was that presented when the graduates, president, faculty and honored guests in grand procession, danced in classic cap and gown, marched into the auditorium. President Thirkield presided, as is the time butored custom. He was greeted with much warm applause, which testified not only to his popularity with the student body, but showed that the people in general appreciate the great services he has rendered to Howard university. Commencement week at Howard began with the class day exercises of the academy on May 24 and extended over a period of eight days.

During the past year the new science hall and the new Carnegie library have been in use, adding much to the general good of the university. Another new building is now nearing completion. It will be occupied by the School of Manual Arts and Applied Sciences. This is a three story brick building, 100 by 40 feet. The university printing press and engineering laboratories will occupy the basement, the second floor will be occupied by the woodworking department, two lecture rooms and the department of domestic arts, and a drafting room will occupy the third floor.

Selma University's New President. We bespeak for Selma university, Selma's Ala., continued success and high efficiency under the leadership of its new president, the Rev. Dr. Matthew W. Gilbert. Dr. Gilbert's scholarly attributions, coupled with his long years of experience in pastoral and educational work, should add much to the proper management of the school. MEN'S PLUMED HATS APPEAR Downy Adornment for Masculine Attire is the Greatest Departure in a Century. Chicago: Plumed hats for men are the latest. They have made their appearance in Chicago and have caused a great wave of excitement among the fashionable men of the city. They are the biggest departure in masculine adornment made in a century, and are so depicted a change from the conventional that leading hatters declare that a complete transformation in men's formal attire will be the result. The extreme styles in men's plumed hats will not become popular at once, say experts. Extreme styles never do. But observant persons have noticed that for several years many of the better dressed men of Chicago have M. H. H. worn a ruffed feather just above the bow of their dress hats. Receply this feather has been made a trifle larger until the leaders of fashion have accepted it as permanent feature of the thoroughly up-to-date hat. The most striking of the new hats are in the shape of the foreign Alpine hat which comes in all colors and can be had with any style of trimming desired. One shown is of a light pearl-gray and trimmed with a dark green plume, with a light border of rich yellow. A Parta milliner would call it striking. The same style with a long green quill makes another combination becoming to many faces. The Alpine hat admits of almost unlimited changes and will permit well-dressed men to show as much individuality in the matter of hats as women do now. The dent-crown imported soft hat shown, with a novelty wing, is of dark gray and comes in many pretty shades of brown, which will harmonize well with the power fabrics which the tailors have been importing for spring suits. Wearers of the always formal silk hat will also be able to take advantage of fashion's latest caprice and will not be denied the privilege of ornamenting it. Dignified white and gray nigrettes and other more conservative feathery effects can be added to the latest French style with the flat brim without defying the mandates of Dame, Fashion. Aviators Gradually Turning Their Attention to More Important Phase of Sport. New York—Cross-country flying is gradually attracting more and more attention on the part of aviators. This is, of course, as it should be. More racing around a track, for hours at a time, goes for nothing in indicating Pierre Vendrine. of France. the value of the aeroplane. Gradually the short trips, so uncertain and dangerous, have been stretched out, until 150 miles in an airline is a common occurrence, made in a single nonstop flight. One of the most daring cross-country flyers is Pierre Vendrine, whose feats have astonished France. In one of these cross-country journeys he flew 181 miles and in another 212. Recently he flew from Paris to Pau, a distance of about 500 miles. Mexican Climate. City of Mexico — The climate of Mexico is from tropic to temperate. On account of the latitude there are three climatic levels, known as the hot lands on the coast; the temperate lands, from 3,000 to 6,000 feet above the sea, and the cold lands 6,000 feet high. But these, except the steaming southern coast lands, are to some extent relative forms; "cold" meaning one thing on high ground at 32 degrees north, and quite another at 15 degrees. The hot lands have a mean temperature of about 80 degrees; and a summer heat often of 100 degrees; the southern cold ones rarely go below 20 degrees, and have a mean temperature of 60 degrees. In the Valley of Mexico, the "perpetual spring," the range is usually 65 to 70 degrees the year through. There is no true winter, but a rainy season from June to October; the dry one November to May. Malarial fevers are prevalent along the coast, and have been some what in the damp Valley of Mexico; but the great drainage tunnel finished in 1908 has much improved the sandy conditions. WHEN A MAN MARRIES CHAPTER XVI. I Face Flannigan Dinner had waited that night while everybody went to the coal cellar and stared at the hole in the wall, and watched while Max took a tracing of it and of some footprints in the coal dust on the other side. I did not go. I went into the library with the guilty watch in a fold of my gown, and found Mr. Harbison there, starring through the February gloom at the blank wall of the next house, and quite unconscious of the reporter with a drawing pad just below him in the area-way. I went over and closed the shutters before his very eyes, but even then he did not move. "Will you be good enough to turn around?" I demanded at last. "Ooh!" he said, wheeering. "Are you here?" There wasn't any reply to that, so I took the watch and placed it on the library table between us. The effect was all that I had hoped. "He stared at it for an instant, then at me, with his hand outstretched for it, stopped. "Where did you find it?" he asked. I couldn't understand his expression. He looked embarrassed, but not at all afraid. "I think you know, Mr. Harbison." I retorted. "I wish I did. You opened it?" "Yes." We stood looking at each other across the table. It was his glance that wavered. "About the picture—of you," he said at last. "You see, down there in South America, a fellow hasn't much to do evenings, and we a chum of mine and I—we were awake down on what we called the plutocrats, the—the leisure classes. And when that picture of yours came in the paper, we had—we had an argument. He said—" He stopped. "Well, he said it was the picture of an empty-faced society girl." "Oh!" I exclaimed. "I—I maintained there were possibilities in the face." He put both hands on the table, and, bending forward looked down at me. "Well, I was a fool. I admit. I said your eyes were kind and candid, in spite of that haughty mouth. You see, I said I was a fool." "I think you are exceedingly rude," I managed finally, "if you want, to know where I found your watch, it was down in the coal cellar. And if you admit you are an idiot. And not. I—know all about Bella's bracelet and the board on the roof—and—oh, if you would only leave-Anne's necklace—on the coal, or somewhere—and get away." My voice got beyond me then, and I dropped into a chair and covered my face. I could feel him staring at the back of my head. "Well, I'll be—" something or other he said finally, and then turned on his heel and went out. By the time I got my eyes dry (yes, I was crying) I always do when I am angry) I heard Jim coming downstairs, and I tucked the watch out of sight. Would any one have foreseen the trouble that watch would make! Jim was sulky. He draped into a chair and stretched his legs, looking gloomily at nothing. Then he got up, and ambled into his cen, closing the door behind him without having spoken a word. It was more than human nature could stand. When I went into the den he was stretched on the davenport with his face buried in the cushion. It looked absolutely wilted, and every line of him was drooping. "Go on out, Kit," he said, in a amethered voice. "Be a good girl and don't follow me around." "You are shameless!" I gasped. "Follow you. When you are hung around my neck like a—like a—" Milstone was what I wanted to say, but I couldn't think of it. "I'm done for, Kit," he groaned. "Bella went up to the studio after we left, and investigated that corner." "What did she find? The necklace?" I asked eagerly. He was too wretched to notice this. "No, that picture of you that I did last winter. She is crazy—she says she is going upstairs and sit in Takahiki room and take smallpox and die." "Fiddlesticks!" I said rudely, and somebody hammered on the door and opened it. "Pardon me for disturbing you," Bella said, in her best demeanor. I knocked manner. "But—Flanigan says the dinner has not come." "Good Lord!" Jim explained. "I forgot to order the confounded dinner!" It was eight o'clock by that time, and as it took an hour at least after telephoning the order, everybody looked blank when they heard. The entire family, except Mr. Harbison, who had not appeared again, escorted Jim to the telephone and hung around hungrily, suggesting new dishes every minute. And then—he couldn't raise Central. It was 15 minutes before we gave up, and stood staring at one another despairingly. "Call out of a window and get one of those informal reporters to do something useful for once." Max suggested. But he was indignantly hushed. We would have starved first. Jim was peering into the transmitter and knocking the receiver against his hand, like a watch that had stopped. But nothing happened. Flannigan reported a box of breakfast food, two lemons and a pineapple cheese, a combination that didn't seem to lend itself to anything. We went back to the dining room from sheer force of habit and sat around the table and looked at the lemonade Flannigan had made. Anne W. G. G. WALKER "You're Unlucky, I'm Thinkin'." would talk about the salad her last cook had conceded, and Max told about a little town in Connecticut where the restaurant keeper smokes a corn-cob pipe while he cooks the most luscious fried clams in America. And Aunt Selina related that in her family they had a recipe for chicken smothered in cream. And then we slipped the weak lemonade and nibbled at the cheese. "To change this gridiron martyrdom," Dallas said finally, "where's Harbison? Still looking for his watch?" "Watch! Everybody said it in a different tone." "Sure," he responded. "Says his watch was taken last night from the studio. Better get him down to take a squint at the telephone. Likely he can fix it." Flannigan was beside me with the cheese. And at that moment I felt Mr. Harbison's stolen watch slip out of my girdle, slide glarelessly across my lap and clatter to the floor. Flannigan stooped, but luckily it had gone under the table. To have had it picked up, to have had to explain how I got it, to see them try to ignore my picture pasted in it—oh, it was impossible! I put my foot over it. "Drop something?" Dallas asked perfunctorily, rising. Flannigan was still half kneeling. "A fork," I said, as easily as I could, and the conversation went on. But Flannigan knew, and I knew he knew. He watched my every movement like a hawk after that, standing just behind my chair. I dropped my useless napkin, to have it whirled up before it reached the floor. I said to berry that my shoe buckle was loose, and actually got the watch in my hand, only to let it slip at the critical moment. Then they all got up and wadly back to the library, and Flannigan and I faced each other. Flannigan was not a handsome than at any time, though up to then he had at least looked amiable. But now as I stood with my hand on the back of my chair, his face grew suddenly menacing. The silence was absolute: I was the guiltiest wretch alive, and opposite me the law towered and glowered, and held the yellow remnant of a pineapple cheese! And in the silence that wretched watch lay and ticked and ticked and ticked. These A manan cranked over a closed door into the hall, came back, picked up the watch, and looked at it. "You're unlucky, I'm thinking," he said finally. "You're got the nerve all right, but you isn't got enough." "I don't know what you mean." I quavered. "Give me that watch to return to Mr. Harbison." "Not on your life," he reported easily. "I get back myself, like I'm going to give back the necklace, if you act like a sensible little girl." I could only choke. "It's foolish, any way you look at it," he persisted. "Here you are, lots of friends, folks that think you're all better. Why. I reckon there isn't one of them that wouldn't lend you money if you needed it so bad." "Will you be still?" I said furiously. "Mr. Harbison left that watch—with me—an hour ago. Get him, and he Ta—will tell you so himself." "Of course he would." Flannigan conceded, looking at me with grudging approval. "He wouldn't be what I think he is, if he didn't die up and down for you." There were voices in the hall. Flannigan came closer. "An hour ago, you say. And he told me it was gone this morning! It's a losing game, miss. I give you 24 hours and then—the necklace, if you please, miss." A Clash and a Kiss. The clash that came that evening had been threatening for some time. Take an immovable body, represented by Mr. Harbison and his square jaw, and an irresistible force, Jimmy and his weight, and there is bound to be trouble. The real fault was Jim's. He had gone entirely mad again over Bella and thrown prudence to the winds. He moated at her across the dinner table, and waylaid her on the stairs or in the back halls, just to hear her voice when she ordered him out of the way. He Aelephonized for flowers and candy for her quite shamelessly, and he got out a book of photographs that they had taken on their wedding journey, and kept it on the library table. The sole concession he made to our presumptive relationship was to bring me the responsibility for everything that went wrong, and his shirts for buttons. The first I heard of the trouble was from Dal. He waylaid me in the hall T after dinner that night, and his face was serious. "I'm afraid we can't keep it up very long, Kit." he said. "With Jim trailing Bella all over the house, and the old lady keener every day. It's bound to come out somehow. And that isn't all. Jim and Harbison had a set to today—about you." "About me!" I repeated. "Oh, I dare say I have been falling short again. What was Jim doing? Abusing me." Dal looked cautiously over his shoulder, but no one was near. (TO BE 'CONTINUED.) NOT OVERESTIMATED. "Let me tell you, gentlemen," said the earnest vegetarian, who was lecturing before the Butchers' association, "that there is more energy contained in a single banana than there is in five pounds of the best beef steak." Instantly a storm of protesting and derisive bisses broke forth from the indignant audience. But above the noisy rasp could be heard the sten'torian voice of a bushy-looking individual shouting: "The man is right! The man is right! But he fails to allow enough energy for the fruit." I know from my own personal experience that a mere fraction of the outside of a banana contains sufficient energy to take the best wrestler in the world off his feet. Consistent. "Senator," said the reporter, "may I ask how you made your first thousand?" Yes, sir, "responded Senator Graphter; I made it in the same way that I made all my subservient thousands." The motorist and the aviator meet for a confidential chat. "That's a fine machine you have," said the admiring aviator. "Yet you're the greatest form wagon buster in the country. And how about your airplane."

The Miniature ‘ BY DOROTHY DOUGLAS Celeste Whecler bought a morning paper and turned eagerly to the per sonal column. A Lttle laugh escaped ber as her eyes alighted on the ad she bad inserted. She read it over still wearing her irresponsible smile. “A young lady will paint a miniature p return for a few week's hospitality In the country. Long Island pre ferred. References.” \ rThere! The die is cast! If } had any family to judge me insane they might have good cause. Still—it is s very sensible way to get a much need ‘ed bit of the country when funds hap Ren to be at low tide and energies depleted.” Celeste looked wistfully down at bet rather shabby. shoes and the dust col ored velvet of her gown. Luckily fot both they were of a shade which neith er showed thoir poverty nor their. lack of care. They were artistic in thelr very shabbiness as was the soft gray hat with its woefully drooping plume Not 20 with Celeste's eyes. These great, wonderful eyes assumed all the brightness and depths and happiness of two new born stars. Only occa sionally were these eyes permitted to reflect all the inward longing for the man whose love had been ruthlessly cast aside. Celljte had been very young when she had told Hugh Ardale that art must take the place of love. Welt, fame was gradually creeping !n to fulfil its mission and Celeste Wheel er smiled through ail. She reached her studio and In the hope that answers would soon come from her advertisement, Celeste gave ber wonderful artistic treasures a more or less cursory tidying. Also she put a few much needed stitches in the fragments of a wardrobe which she possessed. ‘When these duties, enormous to thé artistic temperament, were over, Ce leste went to her little tin box and aay ccs her wealt®, She had ex act ninety-nine dollars. Her studic was paid for for another twelve months and Celéste had orders for nine minia, tures, waiting her leisure. She would not touch one of these until she had returned from a much needed rest ivi herd Bai Her work and name were too precious to impair by trusting to jaded facul- thes, Now that the die was cast and Ce este ready to journey forth she waited impatiently for such an offer as she could accept. Three days later Celeste boarded a train for Glen Head, a tiny village on the Sound. She bad received a cimply ‘worded but winning letter from an elderly couple who were apparently -alone in thelr big estate on the water's edge. The coachman would meet ber at the station in a governess’s cart. With eyes sparkling and cheeks aglow Celeste alighted at the Glen Head station, She was the only pass- enger getting of and this fact pre vented any mistake on the part of the Coachman in (M& small cart. Celeste hed wondered why an elderly couple should elect .to travel about the coun- ty roads in this particular style of vehicle. Now she knew. A small child was evidently a part of the household to which Celeste was being driven Celeste experienced a pecullar thrill when she “Jooked closely into the babs’s face. Her graenish_gray eves with their daznttess eseegpoien were riuch lke Hugh Ardale’s. Af'er 2 series of cuestions which the smatl beauty asked of Celeste and which were duly and ovideatly satis fartorily ansuered Celeste herself asked: "And what 1 your name, darling?” “Marsa Ardate—" tsyed the baby. 5 .

If by any chance Hugh Ardale ts this child's father<t must go back immediately.” Celeste had 20 more time for reflec tion. The wee child had let out scream of delight and they were driv- ing up the wide arched lane toward “Windyheath” the home of Mr. and ‘Mrs, Staunton. ‘When Celeste saw the charming el- derly couple on the wide porch walt: ing her arrival, sxe felt for the first time the rather serious step she had taken in obeying an impulse. She had not been in the house two days before she felt ashamed for bav- ing doubted the sincerity of the hos pitelity offered by this couple. They bad been ing, during the -past month for she one who might, in a meagure, fill the vacancy made by the great Reaper.’ Celeste learned much when confidences had been won on both sides. ‘She learned, with mingled emotions, that the child whom she had grown to love, was the child of Hugh Ardale. He had married Martha Staunton, the only daughter of the dear couple at Windyheath. Hugh's wife had passed away when Martha was given to the world, 5 “Are you sure—absolntely that’ ho will not be back for another twelve months?" Celeste asked timidly. “Yes, my dear—Hugh is a civil en gineer. They are in the Canadian Dush—that fs why we hive the sun- shine of Martha. It !s uo place. for elther child or woman, Hugh says. Be aides, dear—" the older woman paused then said tenderly, “you love him still —why fear?” Celeste turned impulsively and Mrs. Staunton's arms closed about her. ‘They were both allent for a moment. Each had succumbed to a deep felt want and love had triumphed over the conventlonalities. Presently Celeste smiled. “You aro all too good to me,” she sald, happily. “Even wee Martha {s prone to spoll me and pulls.the flowers ruthlessly that “Thelia’ may have them in ber hair.

David Belding looked to the spot indicated, but beheld only the back of a big hat, which completely hid the face of its wearer. "Have to take your word for it, Bob," he answered. "I missed the right instant for judging. After the present day hat turns its back on you there is no seeing what is under it." Robert Sterling smiled. "It is so," he said. "but she really was more than pretty, and her hat isn't in it for size with some of the monsters I have seen." David laughed. "Taking up the caddis in her behalf already, old fellow?" he asked. "Know who she is?" "Yes," replied Robert. "I am almost sure it must be the new school, teacher; so few strangers come to this little place that we can generally guess who they are. Dot has been high in her praises of the new assistant teacher, and this young woman fits the description." "Then get an introduction through that bright little niece of yours," suggested David encouragingly. "Great Scott, what has struck you now?" as his friend seized his arm and began to haul him along at a rapid pace. Robert explained. "Allie is giving Dot a lawn party this afternoon for her birthday, and I just remembered that Dot insisted that the new teacher should be invited. Very likely that is where she is going—at any rate I mean to find out. Hurry up." "All right, but don't you think we might get there before the affair is ended, even if we did not do this race horse cait" queried David. Robert did not even hear him, for as they turned the corner the wearer of the black hat again came into view. "It is the new teacher for a fact," he announced. "She is going through Allie's gate." Robert's little niece ran down the path to welcome the pretty stranger, and catching sight of her uncle and A his friend just entering the gate, called out: "Oh, Uncle Robert, come and see Miss Harland." David Belding started as he heard the name; and when the young teach er turned toward them, his face assumed a look of mingled astonishment and delight. He reached her even before the hastening Robert, and ex- claimed: "I had begun to fear my search for you might be hopeless. My good angel must have sent me here—how more than glad I am to see you." He held out his hand to her. Miss Harland's look was anything but friendly and the outstretched hand apparently invisible to her, as the answered: "Really, you surprise me, Mr. Belding, for I cannot understand why you should not expect to see me in Royeton, when you have been aware of my whereabouts." She turned away from the discomfited David to smile sweetly at Robert, as eager little Dot presented him. Robert's sister Alice now joined them, while Dot's school friends began to arrive. The law party was proving to be a marked success. But David Belding's face had assumed a decidedly slum expression and instead of mingling with the youngsters he only watched them. His gaze often sought their pretty teacher, who seemed to be having the very best time of them all. The big hat had been laid aside and her flushed cheeks and sampled hair showed how fully she was doing her Scored One on Stingy Uncle Little Griffith has been taught to be sitting relatives's test manner, sét all to bet of unconscious mind; the hystanders in a roar. Little Griffith has been taught to be generous. To let us unconscious, mime, and mirror of the ways and inflection of his elder life has need of teaching. The boy has two uncles, one of whom he loves dearly, partly on account of the young man's genial intelligence in the matter of gifts of the other, inclined to be persecuting and sittiny. Griffith stands somewhat in awe. One day, when both uncles were present, the sinny one presented the youngster with a penny, waving aside his surprised thanks with appropriat remarks. The boy, learning a little later that it was the other uncle's birthday, passed on the gift with warm hues and grandiose recessions of proffered return. "Very well, then," it was decided, "I'll keep the money, dear, and thank you. But what shall I do with it?" "Spend it with your little friends." was the reply that, delivered in the at Last DIBBELL ocked Literally Press.) Robert Sterling kept near Miss Harland all the afternoon. Not once did the young teacher look in David's direction, but that young man had decided upon his next step and waited patiently until the festivities were ended. When the guests were taking leave of their small hostess he stepped to Miss Harland's side and said quietly: "I shall walk home with you. Florence; there is something I must say to you." Florence Harland's dark eyes flashed a resentful look at him. "Very well," she said and turned again to her entertainers. As Robert Sterling had been a witness of the greeting bestowed by Miss Harland upon his friend, he felt no surprise when David said to him: "I wish to speak to Miss Harland about something important, so excuse me for the present." "All right, You'll find me waiting here for you." As soon as the pair was outside the gate David began. "I do not know why you should say I was aware of your whereabouts. I have been trying my best for nearly three months to find you. When I got back to the city I went at once to your father's house and found it occupied by strangers. Then I went to the firm from whom they had purchased the house; but they could tell me only that after Mr. Harland's sudden decease his affairs were found to be in hopeless confusion and all property was sold. Of you they could tell me nothing. Then I called on Miss Brandon, who was the only friend of yours I had met. She told me that you had left the city immediately after your father's death, but she had no idea where you were. Then I spent three weeks in unsuccessful attempts to trace you and finally began to believe you had purposely concealed yourself from me, and when Robert—" Miss Harland's scornful voice interrupted him. "Why should you tell this elaborate falsehood?" she asked, "Martha Brandon told me of your call in the first letter she wrote me, and said she gave you an account of my obtaining this position in the Royceton school through the efforts of the cousin with whom I stayed until coming here." "And why should I lie to you?" cried David wrathfully. "I have told you only the truth; it is Miss Brandon's word against mine." "Then I choose Martha's" said Miss Harland firmly. David was in a white heat of anger and pain. "You are free to choose," he said. Not another word was spoken between them until David left her at the door of her lodging house. Florence Harland run upstairs to her own room, prepared to indulge in a good cry, but a letter on her dresser caught her eye, and recognizing her friend Martha Brandon's writing, she at once opened it. "Dearest Florence: Can you ever forgive me for declending you so terribly? After Jack and I quarreled I felt as if I wanted everybody to be as miserable as I was; and when Mr. Belding called I told him I had no idea of where you were. I do not know how I could have been so wicked, after all your trouble, too; and he was so anxious to find you. I told you a lie, but please forgive me, Florence, or I can never be happy again, even though Jack and I have made up, Please, please forgive your miserable friend Martha Brandon." After she read this letter poor Florence Harland did indeed have her "good cry," and it was hours before she could bring herself to forgive the repentant Martha; but when at last she sobbed herself to sleep all anger had been cast out of her heart. In the early morning a small boy brought a tiny note to David Belding, which caught him just starting for the first train leaving Royceon. He had informed Robert Sterling the night before that his visit must end at once. But this little note made a new man of David Belding. "Will you forgive me? Martha has written that she told a lie both to you and to me. Florence Harland," was all the note said. It was more than forgiveness that Florence received, for a very eager young man sought her the instant her school duties for the day were over, anxious to pour forth the old story of love. And with David's arm around her and his check pressed close to her own, the lonely young school teacher felt that she could freely give all wrongs, and bravely face life's coming years with him. In Stingy Uncle stingy relative's best manner, set all the bystanders in a roar. Delightful ignorance. Walter Damrosch, the musical conductor, was describing a very ignorant foreign critic. In short, "Mr. Damrosch ended, the was as ignorant of music as old Jed Shucks and his wife were of city ways. Jed was describing his recent visit to New York.

Hon. Danee delivered his address Tuesday night, May 31, in the Municipal building to a large, intelligent, representative audience of white and colored people. The occasion was one of great interest. The mayor of the city presided. The object of the meeting was to create an interest in the effort to secure the very valuable property at Jumsonville which was originally built for the Soldiers Orphan Home located about five miles north of Uniontown, situated upon the Allegheny Mountains. There are three hundred acres of land with sixteen buildings, including a large chapel. This property is easily worth more than $100,000, but it has been used to the colored people of Fayette county for school purposes for $45,000. The state legislature in its last session appropriated $100,000 to the project to assist in paying for the property. Miss.

GOLDEN TEXT-Thou Art a God. Ready to Pardon, Gracious and Mervelful. B. C. T38 (Becher), or T39 (Hastings), His prophet his saint, who came to the thrones (king of Judah), who came to the thrones (Becher), B. C. T39 (Hastings), T37. PLACE-House was a prophet of the northern kingdom. PROPHETS-Isaiah and Micah; perhaps Amos. What was the iniquity of Israel from which Hosea exhorted her to return unto the Lord? The degradation of religion into a sensual and revolting worship of idols, and the foolish and weakening separation from the Southern Kingdom. The period was one of frightful violence and confusion; all ties of social life were loosened; immorality, irreligion, superstition, panic and despair contributed to the common misery and ruin; it hardly needed prophetic insight to foresee the inevitable end in the total dissolution of the state. Their reliance upon Assyria for salvation instead of upon Jehovah; their reliance upon Egypt, the land of horses; their reliance upon idols, the work of their own hands. All the inner woes of the nation sprung from its idolatry, and all its woes from without sprung from the mischievous foreign alliances against which the prophets continually protected. Note that this is more than a confession; it is a promise of amendment, a vow of total abstinence from these sins. God promises to the repentant nation, promises for the past, forgiveness. I will heal their backsliding, that horrible disease of apostasy from the Father's love; for the present, love; I will love them freely, "without money and without price," for what price could pay for this inestimable blessing? for the future, ever-increasing progress and blessness; God will be to his restored people an enriching, stimulating, reviving dew, causing them to throw out new branches, strike new roots deeper into the soil, blossom in beauty and fragrance, and bring forth fruit in abundance. What is the significance of the three comparisons used of the restored people? 1. They are to be like the illy, in its purity and beauty. 2. They are to be like Lebanon, rooted deep in the earth, with its footfalls stretching forth like roots; or perhaps the reference is to the firmly rooted cedars of Lebanon; at any rate the comparison signifies strength, which is to be added to beauty. 3. They are to be like the olive tree, which is not lovely as the illy but is gnarled and ugly; nor strong and imposing like the mountain and its great cedars, but feeble and insignificant to the eye; but it is green when other trees are bare, and it brings forth abundance of rich fruit. The confident statement (whether made by Jehovah, or, as some commentators and both authorized and revised versions hold, by Ephraim himself) that Ephraim (that is, Israel, the leading tribe being put for the entire Northern Kingdom) has nothing more to do with idols; he is through with them; they are laid away with his unhappy past. This actually happened after the exile; the returned Jews had had enough of idolatry, and never again lapsed into that sin. Hosea certainly did not mean, as he is so often misunderstood to mean, that Israel was so firmly fixed in idolatry that the nation could never be moved from that iniquity. The prophet was addressing Judah, the Southern Kingdom, and bidding her hold aloof from her idolatrous neighbor and let him alone, lest she herself contract the foul disease. The sum of wisdom, according to Hosea, is that wisdom consists of three things: Understanding, knowing the things that Hosea had been setting forth, namely, God's dealings with his children. Understanding that God's ways are always right, straight, alike when they spread themselves out in an unbroken level for the pious, and when they oppose themselves in rocky stumbling-blocks to the ungodly. Hosea began his warnings at the point where we feel the most pride. Our nation is proud of its wealth and power, but these two things lead worldiness, which is our greed at peril. What would be the subsistence of Hosea's message to the nation and to each one of us? "Take with you words, and return unto the Lord." Our sins must be acknowledged, humbly before God and frankly before every one who should hear the confession for any reason. Then we are simply in Christ's strength, to obey Sam Jones' oft-repeated injunction, "Quit your meanness!" We are to "cease to do evil, learn to do well." We must turn wholly from our sin "A certain village church possessed a gleaned bell, of which the villagers were very proud. It became cracked, but a blacksmith riveted it so skillfully that the crack was invisible. The bell was rehung, but owl the appalling discord when it was rung. It was taken down, and recast. The result was a new bell of sweeter tone than the old one. Man has devised many apparently clever schemes for the restoration of sin-disposed hearts. They are all failures. A new heart molded by find himself is the only remedy." There is a story of an ancient king who lighted a lamp and had it hung in his palace; he then sent heralds forth to bring into his presence every criminal and rebel, that they might obtain pardon. Those that came while the lamp was burning were set free; but those that delayed till the lamp had gone out, or altogether neglected the invitation, niet with a terrible death. Unlike this, God forever holds forth his offer of mercy, and his loving heart always rears after the sinner: but with each willful delay we harden our hearts till at last they are fixed in the ways of sin. THE COURRIER HOW FEW OF US KNOW THE VALUE OF OUR ENGLISH BIBLE How few of us know how to value this invaluable treasure: Sixty-six different books, forty-five different writers, kings and peasants, prophets, priests and fishermen, fifteen hundred years in completing it. Then how wonderfully Providence has guarded it down the centuries, brought the different parts together and welded it into one porty and yet convenient volume, and placed it at a price that none need be without it. What opposition it has encountered! All the venom and devices of helm hatred have been concentrated upon it. The translators have been persecuted, driven from their homes, committed to prisons, placed under torture, burned at the stake, and thrown to the wild beasts, and killed by axe and by sword, and yet it has survived, and has become the most numerously printed, and most extensively circulated of any book in the world today. The Christian Herald says: "The Bible is today more widely read than ever. Last year the Bible societies printed and circulated 12,843,196 Bibles. More Bibles were sold than any other hundred books together. The British and Foreign Bible Society's annual output is steadily increasing, last year's being 683,000 copies in excess of the year preceding. Of what other book could anything like this be said? If you pile in a single pyramid all the copies of the Koran since Mahomet's day till now, with all the copies of the Scandinavian Zend Avesta, the Buddhist Trikaptanas and the Chinese Five Kings, and add to the pile the hundred other most famous-books the world has ever known, including the "best sellers" of all the ages, the pyramid, contrasted with the thousands of millions of copies of the Bible, would be as an ant-heap to Mount Everest. Like that cloud-piercing monarch, the old Bible sands alone in its majesty, its magnitude, its altitude and its serene imperpetuability, unplanned by the assaults of man, belief and pointing out to man the only way that leads to heaven and happiness." It would be deeply interesting, if we had space, to quote what has been said by men of the greatest mind of the age, concerning this invaluable treasure that we have. Here is a multum in parro by a lover of the Word: "This book contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, doom of sinners, and happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you. It is the traveler's way, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword, and the believer's charter. There paradise is restored, heaven opened, and the gates of hell disclosed. Messiah Jesus Christ) is his grand spirit, our good its design, and the glory of God its end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the tet. Read it slowly, frequently, prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure. It is given you in life, will be open at the judgment, and be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, rewards the greatest labor and condemns all who trifle with its holy contents." WIT AND HUMOR BADLY TORN. Wilhelmina is hard on her clothes, and not long since her patient, but weary mother, wishing to impress a much-needed lesson, decreed that hereafter all aprons and dresses not worn but torn to pieces must be paired and continued in active service the full term of their natural life. Wilhelmina, regarding one especially marked specimen of her carelessness and her mother's skill at mending, remarked sagely: "It's almost a pity I didn't get a few more years. Then the patches would have made me a new apron." Teacher—Willie. did your father cane you for what you did in school yester- lax? Pupil—No, ma'am; he said the licking would hurt him more than 'I would me. Teacher—What rot? Your father is no sympathetic. Pupil—No, ma'am; but he's not the cheumatism in both arms—Lippincott's. The man who makes his wife ride up in the morning to start the fire, it last saved enough money to stay in automobile. One day while going up a hill the machine stopped. "You'll have to get out and push, Fantini," he said, because I've got to stay here and guide it—Lippincott's. Kindly Old Gentleman—Well. Tommy, caught anything? Bright Little Boy—No. I don't believe the silly worm was trying—Punch. Elocutionist—Strike for your altars and your fires! Strike! Till the last armed toe— Fan- Dat's two strikes: mister! One more an'er out- New York World At the tercentenary celebration in England, held in Albert Hall, London, the prime minister, Mr. Asquith, sald: "The Bible was the moving force of the English reformation. It opened to one and all, small and great, poor and rich, learned and ignorant, the treasure-house of the divine wisdom. It gave to each in the dull round of labor, as well as in the supreme and testing moments of life, an equal and an unstinted share of the teaching which inspires the consolation which soothes, the faith which can move mountains, the hope which endures to the end. And if the English Bible has been to the English people an instrument of emancipation, has it not also been, and ought, it not increasingly to be, the symbol and safeguard of unity? There are gathered here tonight, on this platform and in this hall. I doubts not, the representatives of many churches, and communities. But, by whatever ecclesiastical label we are designed, all of us have in the English Bible a common possession, a common inheritance, a common storehouse and reservoir of religious thought and teaching. This tencentenary will not have been celebrated in vain If it brings home to us, with a new emphasis, the truth that while there are diversities of operations: there is one and the same spirit—a spirit whose message we have all of us read in the same familiar and yet venerable language, from the first moment that we were able to speak. May I go one step further? As I have implied more than once, the English Bible belongs not only to the subjects of the king, but to the English-speaking world. We are delighted to welcome on the platform my distinguished friend the American ambassador. His presence reminds us that across the seas our own kindred, though owing a different allegiance—some 50,000,000 br $90,000,000 of people—claim with us a share in what is to us and to them a common possession. It was John Robinson, the pastor of the Pilgrim Fathers, on the bive of their departure declared in a memorable sentence: "The Lord has more truth yet to break forth out of His Holy Word." Mr. Whitclaw Reid, the American ambassador, at the conclusion of his address, said. "The sole excuse for my presence here is that I am the bearer of a message from the great chief magistrate of a great and friendly English-speaking nation. I am commissioned to present to this great audience a message from the elect of ninety millions—the president of the United States—dated from White House, Washington, March 7th, 1911, and addressed to "The Tercentenary Celebration of the Publication of the King James Version, Royal Albert Hall, London, England." It is as follows: "It affords me great pleasure to present, through Mr. Reid, my congratulations to those who, in the mother country, are commemorating so signal a historic event as the publication of the King James version of the English Bible. This book of books has not only reigned supreme in England for three centuries, but has bound together, as nothing else could, two great Anglo-Saxon nations, one in blood, in speech, and in a common religion. Our laws, our literature and our social life we whatever excellence they may possess largely to the influence of our chief classic—acknowledged as such equally on both sides of the sea. Americans must, therefore, with unfeigned satisfaction, join in thanksgiving to the God of the old and the new world by so precious a tie. I can speak, I am sure, for my fellow-countrymen in congratulating you en so significant a commemoration. "WILLIAM H. TAFT." FINE SCHEME.

I was wondering how a man who is separated from his wife is going to find out where his spring clothes are. "What made you think he would propose to me."

STOPPED PLAY FOR THAT DAY Horse Liked the Flavor of the Baseball and Proceeded to Make a Light Lunch. Four urchins were playing ball, on upper Park avenue, while not far off stood an ice wagon with two sleepy, looking horses attached to it. By chance the ball rolled down the gutter toward the ice wagon. It slowed up almost under the feet of one of the horses and the animal seeing an unusual object on the pavement before him, lowered his head, snuffed at it and before the youngsters could snatch it away had it between his teeth and was munching it with lazy rellish, for it was stuffed with something that the ordinary baseball is not "Here, you, gi' me dat ball!" shouted one of the boys, tugging away at the big horse's bridle. "Yes, drop dat ball, you!" chorused the other three. But the horse, unheeding, munched on dreamily. "Say, mister," pleaded one of the boys, as the man in charge of the wagon appeared, "make him give us our ball, won't yer He eatin' it." "Ah, gwan and git out of the way," was the response, as the man stepped into the wagon. "He's got our ball, I tell yer!" cried the boys. But the iceman only gathered up the reins and drove away, the horse still munching, while the four boys lined up on the curb looked after the departing wagon in silent consternation—New York Press. Up in Maine. Haskins was speeding merrily over the Maline road when Hippreigh, his guest, noticed that a smaller car was following in their train. "That car has been trailing us all morning," he said. "Yes," said Haskins. "It is my extra car. I have it back there to catch me when I come down when one of these Maline road cobble hurts me up into the air. We save time and many a hard bump by having it there."-Harper's Weekly. Marriage Market Looks Up. Marriage Market Looks Up. Apparently the marriage rate has turned the corner" for the last year, according to the abstract of marriages for England and Wales, recently pub- lished, there were 267,416 marriages in 1910 against 260,259 the previous year. The rate per thousand of popu- lation was 14.80 last year against 14.50 in 1909. The September quarter was easily the most popular time for marri- ages, with 76,502, against December's 73,580 and June's paltry 61,003. A. L.

Fashion Altogether Charming When Carried Out With Due Consideration. . ‘The touch of yelvet near the face, matching the color of the eyes, has long been popular with the women who study their o¥n good points, and this bas been easy to tnanage In these days of quaint little bows and pipings. Of late, however, the women of the ‘smart set have taken to wearing flow- ers which carry out the color, too. There are pansies that are for the brown eyed girl, forget-menots. for blue eyes and orchids for the “mald with hazel eyes. The girl with gray eyes is the only one who has any trouble, for aH she can find to match her eyes is the buim- ble dusty miller leaf. ; * Sometimes she fancies her res. however, are “gray blue” or “afeen gray.” so she varies her color scheme with orchids, mignonette or a [dull blue blasson:. If she is quite /con- vinced that her eyes are—‘really “matchless” she contents herself with the feeling of superiority arising there- from and lets the jewels of her face sparkle unrivaled or wears the modest violet, which would never presume to resemble the eyes above them. When natural blooms are not pro- curable the woman with an eye for flowers buys artificial ones of the required -tint. Parisian ingenuity has gone one step further In this art and provides for its leaders of fasbion real flowers dyed with chemifcal dyes in any de sired color or shade. o Hardy flowers, such as camelia’; carnations and all varieties whose stems are good absorbers, are placed in the liquid and allowed to stay there until exactly the right amount of color has been absorbed. “Te Keep Furs. Every housewife krows what a great worry furs and woolen gar- ments are during the summer months, when moths are so ready to destroy any within their reach. Take a five gallon crock and after sunning and brushing the furs place them in a the crock, then cover with a heavy piece of wrapping paper which is glued fast to the crock, making It absolutely air tight and there are no cracks or crevices for moths to enter This can be kept in a dry cellar all summer, or if you have no cellar or clothés press get a large tin Ild to ft the crock and make a cover of ¢retonne and use for a corner seat in any room, and save all worrr over moths for the summer.

"Elastic side gussets are introduced on corsets of very long hip cut, as shown in our {Mustration, and stout ‘figures especially can be assured of added slimness in those shapes, which particularly give flat hips.

Those in Control of Brooklands, Automobile Course, Have Experimented for Years in Attempt to London.—The problem of how to make Brooklands, England's big automobile track, pay, or at least prove self-supporting, at last seems near solution. For four years, ever since this, the largest racing track in the world, was opened to the public—those in control of it have been experimenting and out of bitter experience and the loss of much money they have slowly but surely learned that its appeal is not to the man in the street, however good a sportsman he may be, but to the rich and well-to-do. When the track was first opened only automobile races were held on the great oval. Later on motorcycling was introduced and finally aviation. Now all three are combined at every meet. But attempts to get a popular class crowd to witness the events have been abandoned and the 2,000 or more men and women who gather to see the races are recruited almost entirely from the upper crust of English society—owners of motor cars and flying machines of their own. As a matter of fact mamy of the races put on are arranged for amateur drivers and airmen piloting their own machines. Motorcycling has become a popular pastime in England and interest in racing is intense. If Brooklands were more accessible to London it is safe to say that the motorcycle races there would attract large crowds. But it is a 60-cent train ride from Waterloo station, there is another charge of 60 cents to enter the grounds and by the time a man has paid for his ten, a programme and a few other incidental expenses he has put the equivalent of a $2 bill, out of commission. *The London sport can get so much for $2, or eight shillings, it is not strange that he does not rush Brooklands on meet days no matter how keen he may be on motorcycling. These facts have their influence, of course, on the incentives that are offered to the riders who compete in the motorcycle races. In the United States the men race for substantial purses and hold out for them if they are not forthcoming. In England they are willing to race for a silver ruse of little or no value or almost for a sheet of paper stating that they won such and such a race on such and such a day at Brooklands. That, of course, has been the trouble in trying to match De Rozier against Collier, the English champion rider. Quite naturally De Rozier wants to race for a fair sized purse, not being in business to collect mugs or diplomas of merit, and efforts are being made to get one of the clubs in England to put up a bag of sovereigns for a match between the Englishman and the American. Of the three sports now in full swing at Brookland's aviation undoubtedly draws the largest crowd. It still possesses the elements of novelty and danger which have to a large extent disappeared from automobile racing and motorcycling. The flying contests held at the big track are not what one would call exciting. The flights made at each meeting are added to the distance covered by the same aviators at previous meets and the one who compiles the greatest total before the close of the season is to get the prize. Thus, unless one is keen enough to follow the progress of the several airmen from meet to meet the flying ro Professor Sargent Says She Is of Love er Order Than Man—Has Not Developed as Rapidly. Boston.—That woman is a longer order of being than man and that she has not developed so rapidly from the barbricate state as man is the latest section by Prof. Dudley A. Sargent, agent of the department of physical culture at Harvard, and well known as a writer upon subjects pertaining to woman's development. Are women constitutionally tougher than men? This is the question upon which Doctor Sargent was asked to pass judgment. It was also a question which was brought up by Prof. John M. Tyler of Annhorst at the meeting of the American Physical Education association. "It is a question which is difficult to answer," declared Doctor Sarah. "perhaps because the word 'young' one capable of so many interpretations. Taken in the sense of meaning more enduring. I should be inclined to believe that women were in that regard superior to men. "It stands to reason that since they are constructed on a plan better suited to care with physical forces of a certain kind, they should be able to standish conditions which man, who is built with an entirely dissimilar object in view, is unable to contend with. "Briefly, we may say that woman is nearer the savage state. Her development is more primitive than man's, just as the Indian is more primitive than a white man.

Fort Plain, N. Y.-An eight-pound fish set fire last night to a hay car on a siding here, burning the car to the trucks and with it sixty-five tons of hay. The fish was a sucker. Boys singing at night, had built a bonfire on the Mohawk river bank, a few feet from the hay car. When the fish was landed it fell among the burning brands and thrashed about wildly, showered sparks in every direction, one of which nestled in the hay and knotted the blaze.

Above the roof will rise the tower to the gildy elevation of 750 feet, on the apex of which is to be a huge electric light that, in addition to all else, will act as a landing signal for helicopters alr-travelers. Mr. Woolworth, the owner of the building, is having the wharf constructed on the score of his belief in the future popularity of aviation not only for pleasure, but for commercial purposes, also. solves itself into nothing more than an exhibition of aeroplaning.

TO BATHE AT TOWN'S COST Request of Inmate of Connecticut Poorhouse Stirs Officials and Request Be Granted. Hartford, Conn. The clean years are to follow the foul years in Manchester for Walter Jackson, the venerable negro, who, in addition to being prominent as the only inmate of Manchester town house, is now noted state-wide as the only person in the commonwealth who has escaped a voluntary of enforced bath in the last six years. He is to enjoy a long deferred swim. During his stay at the poorhouse Jackson never has dabbled in any water more than could be held in a small basin, but the past week the selectmen received a respectful petition from him requesting that facilities be afforded for at least one more bath before he died. Much excitement was caused by the result of this extraordinary petition, and, after long wrangling, arrangements were agreed to by the solons. Possibility of the Future.

TIES UP ESTATE 60 YEARS Farmers Will Gives Family Only Life Interest—Children Are All Comparatively Young. Trenton, N. J.-Because of the provisions of the will of the late Henry Sked it is likely that $17,000, the proceeds of the recent sale of the Sked farms at Hokewell and Pennington, will be tied up in the court of chancery for at least sixty years. A life interest in the farms was left to Mrs. Sked and the children, and upon their deaths were to go to the grandchildren. The sale of the land was made under a statute which permits the court of chancery, where real estate is left by will and where it is considered wise to so to do, to convert the property into cash and invest the cash for the benefit of the levies. Under this law the proceeds of the sale have been invested and the interest will be paid over to the widow and children. As the Sked children are comparatively young it is likely that it will be sixty years or more before the money passes over to the grandchildren and out of the control of the court. WOULD PUT HOBOS ON FARMS Governor Dix of New York Suggests New Use for Abandoned Lands in State—Place for Tramps. Albany, N. Y.—The use of abandoned farms owned by New York state as farm colonies for tramps and vagrants will be urged by Governor Dix.

Finds $55,000: $1 Reward New York.—A certified check for $55,000 blew under the feet of pedestrians on lower Broadway for nobody knew how long while not a soul took the trouble to pick it up. James McCarthy, nineteen years old, a messenger boy, recognized its value and turned it in at his office. He got $1 for his honesty. 1,100 students in attendance at the school and the total warnings of the student body amounted to $1,851,000. While earning this amount the students devoted an average of nine hours a week to classroom attendance and a like amount of time to preparation for recitations.
