BISHOP SHAFFER PRESIDES Resolutions Adopted Indorsing the Administration of the Rev. Dr. W. W. Bockett and Pledging Support For His Re-election as Secretary—Friends Want Him Elevated to Bishopric. New York—The recent session of the board of missions of the African Methodist Episcopal church, held in New York the last week in May, brought out prominently what the denomination is doing for the cause of missions. At this meeting the secretary of the missionary department, the Rev$ \textcircled{2} $Dr. W. W. Beckett, submitted his third annual report, which showed that $ \$17. $ E17 had been raised for missions through the Easter day collections besides a similar amount from the Women's Mite Missionary society, the Home and Foreign Missionary society and other sources combined. Bishop C. T. Shaffer of Chicago, who presided, suggested to the board that an effort be made to have the financial publishing house, church extension and the missionary boards unite in petitioning the next general conference for authority to erect a suitable building for the housing of these departments in Philadelphia. He also said that quarters could be provided in the proposed building for a great library, which would contain all books written by the race and pertaining to the race question. Dr. Beckett and others urged the necessity of a building as proposed, and the bishop's suggestion, was unanimously indorsed. Besides appropriating money for the carrying on of mission and educational work in Africa, Canada, the West Indies and South America, the board agreed to purchase for $1,500 a $1,000 church and school property recently erected by the Rev. P. A. Luckle in British Guiana, South America; voted to recognize the Women's Mite Missionary and Home and Foreign Mis- REV. DR. W. W.

President of the Women's Mine Museum society, Mrs. Mary F. H. Handy of Baltimore, was present and told of the workings of her department. She also stated that the society would submit vouchers to the board of missions for all hoons expended, as has been desired for some time by Secretary Beckett. A recommendation was also adopted to ask the next gennal conference of the denomination to know the board of missions half of the Easter day collections now going to the board of church extension. Solutions highly commendatory of the administration of Dr. Beckett and pleasing support for his re-election as senior or any other position in the school to which he may aspire were similarly adopted. Dr. Beckett has urged by prominent church- men in all sections of the country to be a candidate for the blasphemy in South Carolina in 1859, he has made hosts of friends during his ministry of twenty-even years. He has represented the South Carolina confer- ment at four general conferences. In sixteen consecutive years he began in Charleston, where he was both and presiding elder.

Hull gets his certificate for a special course in the industrial arts from Carnegie technical schools. Aspiration of George W. A. Scott. No event, however, in college circles thus far has created greater enthusiasm among the masses of the race than the winning of the Curtis medal by George W. A. Scott at the recent oratorical contest at Columbia university. Mr. Scott was born in Lynchburg, Va. He received his elementary training in the country schools of Virginia and West Virginia, Taking up his residence in New York in 1886, Mr. Scott attended the public school and the Morris high school before entering Columbia university. He took several prizes in the elementary schools for excellence in his studies, conduct and attendance, having gone for four years without being absent or late. He is vice president of the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, the only national colored fraternity in the United States. In high school he was in athletics and was an officer in the association glee club and for four years president of the Acorn Literary society. Besides editing the school annual, he held several other important offices. In his senior year he won first-prize, a gold medal, for oratory. In college he was a member of the debating club for the freshman class. Work, Integrity, Tact, Temperance, Prudence, Courage, Faith. NOTICE We are going to have an educational page June 24.

The decision was so close that many declared that he should have been awarded first place. This year he was awarded the first prize, a gold medal. The judges decided in Mr. Scott's favor in less than ten minutes. It is Mr. Scott's ambition to become an instructor in some one of the higher institutions of learning for Afro-Americans, as he believes himself especially fitted to be of great service to the race along this line. He is fond of history, political government and the higher sciences. He is young, full of life and eager to be of service to other young and aspiring youths who are making the upward struggle in life. Charles Fred White's Fine Record.

He said that the committee did right in calling his attention to the matter and in this way bringing it to the attention of the country. Before he was elected President, Mr. Taft, denounced the mob. In one of his speeches are found these words: A mob develops the most fendish cruelty, manifesting itself in the blindest and most unreasonable assaults upon perfectly their color. People impossible to read accounts of this sort without having one a blood boil with indignation that there can reside in the human breast such a savage and beastly impulse. Hon. J. C.

The subcommittee of the Judiciary of the Senate, Senators Root, Sutherland and Baton, have reached the conclusion that there is work enough for assistance to to perform as Attorney General and recommend his confirmation. It is understood however that a number of Southern free-eating Senators will vigorously oppose the nomination on the door of the Senate. Awful! "Baltimore is musical city; even the streets sing." "What!" "Certainly. Just listen to the cobbles' tones!" Tried but Failed. "You see," said the little man with the dyeed beard, as he muscled an apple purchased from the train boy, "I am a vegetarian." "You mean, you try to be one," an swerved the tenderfoot on the seat be side him, pleasantly. "Sir, what do you mean by that?" "Simply that there was a worm in that apple, and you got it." Intelligence should be as common as common seas; but it's too much to ask for commonly. Nineteenth Anniversary of the institution Diarrhea Attention to its Factors—What It Has Accomplished Under the Effective Leadership of President Cellier and His Co-factors. Jacksonville, Fla.—Founder's day of the Florida Baptist academy was observed recently for the first time since the school was founded. It was an auspicious event among Afro-Americans in this section of Florida. Becoming cognizant of the great work being done at this institution, a number of the country's ablest educators and well-known philanthropists accepted the opportunity to visit the college and make a thorough inspection of the work. Nineteen years ago this institution was started for the purpose of meeting one phase of the educational exigencies of the race in Florida. The scope of the work is now beyond the singular expectation of Professor N. W. Cellier and Miss Sarah Blocker, the great servitors of the cause, who have been with the institution since its inception. The work of these faithful pedagogues was praised by a number of the prominent visitors. Mr. Robert O. Ogden, one of the race's greatest benefactors, was present and evidently was inspired by the thoroughness of the preparation of the students. His speech was full of optimism and proved exclusively that he was ailled with the element working to develop the Negro for a mission contributing to the success of all movements for the comfort of man, emphasized the necessity of allowing silent fidelity to the highest ideals to be a potent factor in the student's life and that ultimately the prescription so evident against the ambitious Negro would succumb to that which is just and unplifting. In his characteristic manner Rev. Dr. W. P. Thirkirk, president of Howard university, addressed the large, cultured audience, eloquently spokes of the institution and elicited applause by his manly stand for the principles that makes for a well rounded person. Dr. M. W. Gilbert, pastor of the First Baptist church, Knoxville, Tenn., sustained his reputation as a forceful speaker, and, being identified with the school in its inclipency, his narration of the early struggles of the school and its final achievements was enlightening and interesting. The man who is now in the limelight because of his energies being largely used for certain necessary reforms for the good of the inhabitants in the south, Dr. B. F. Riley of Birmingham, Ala., one of the Negro's stanchest friends for equal rights and fair play, uncompromisingly spoke in interest of the Negro and gave vital statistics of his progress, especially in the south. The personality of Dr. H. B. Frissell, president of Hampton Institute, and the atmosphere produced by this noted educator and Christian gentleman were wholesome, and the institution and community were benefited by his presence. Rev. George Sales, superintendent of the education work of the American Baptist Home Mission society of New York, with a number of the other speakers, compounded Professor Collier for the ennobling work that he was doing. Demonstrations in cooking and sewing and excellent papers by a number of the students showing the high literary work of the school as the industrial feature were among the other attractions of the week. Miss Mary Berthune, the founder of the City's Industrial school, Daytona, Fla., was present and was conspicuous at the various exercises. A number of the leading white pastors of the city were present and evidenced a keen interest in the work. Dr. J. E. Ford, pastor of Bethel Institutional church, this city, participated in the various exercises. Among the distinguished visitors were Mr. and Mrs. William H. Scoville and Miss Toustellot, Hampton institute; Dr. Wallace Buttrick, secretary educational board. New York; Dr. George Sale, New York city; Rev. N. A. Mackey, New York city; Dr. Wick-cliff Rose, Washington, D. C.; Professor B. B. Valentine, Benedict college, Columbia, S. C. Mr. Scoville is the nephew of Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Mrs. Scoville is the daughter of General Armstrong, the founder of Hampton institute. Professor Sydney Woodward, the noted tenor singer, was highly complimented for furnishing such an accomplished quartet that reflected credit on the race. Theological Students Graduate Among the graduates from the General Theological seminary in New York on Wednesday, May 31, were Arnold H. Maloney and William K. Hendriksa. Both men are West Indians and have made excellent records in their studies. Mr. Maloney received the degree of master of arts from Columbia university in 1910. Yale conjugated the bachelor of arts degree upon Mr. Hendriksa four years ago. FIRST ANNUAL COMMENGEMENT National Religious Training School Scores Big Success. FEATURES OF THE EXERCISES Men of National Repute Attend Closing Exercises of Well Governed Institution Founded by Dr. C. E. Shapard—Every Racer Must Have Its Own Leadern, Baye Judge Stafford. BY GEORGE FRANCH KING. By GEORGE FRANCIS KING, Durham, N. C.—The first annual commencement of the National Religions Training school recently held in Durham was one of the greatest educational events among the race ever held in this city. The standard and scope of this institution were evidenced by the men of national reputation in attendance. The growth of the school was a startling feature to the many prominent visitors of both races from many sections of the country. The exercises began with the annual musical, which was attended by a large number of music lovers from all parts of the state and was conceded by musical critics to have been a high class affair. The baccalaureate address was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Augustus P. Record, pastor of the Church of the Ultry, Springfield, Mass. Dr. Record's subject was the "Engulfed Task." Many people, compulsions in educational and religious spheres, attending the oesthetic context of the institution said that for the first year-work of the school the contestants showed a training that was remarkable and that the proper conception of the possibilities for the great and far-reaching success of the plane of the founder and president of the institution were evidenced in the work of the contestants. The address to the undergraduate by President James H. Shepard was also a pertinent feature of the exercises. The address to the literary societies was delivered by Dr. P. W. Few, president of Trinity college in Durham. He spoke in part as follows: I am always glad to come into contact with single individuals or a whole people who have great tasks before them, especially if they, are, willing to help me. Circumstances have set before you the high task of building in a short time and under surroundings of a wall developed society a worthy civilized place. In the case that make your case unique. There is nothing else just like it in all the world. Then, too, you in Durham are making unusual work, with extraordinary effort, to work out the your destiny. And you are working out your destination here under peculiarly favorable conditions, for I am sure that the relations existing between the two countries are better than I have observed elsewhere in America. To help your race forward and to improve those good relations between the two countries, this institution ought to be most grateful. In thoughtful minds one misgiving about American education arises out of the feeling that in our system of public education too little direct effort is being made to produce soundness This is the fruit of right education that is most difficult to set about cultivating. It is, I think, the immense difficulty of the task that has caused it to be neglected and a failure to appreciate it. For that, it is that everybody regards character as the supreme thing in men. Yet this supreme thing in men is still treated as only an accidental by-product of American public education. To give this supreme thing the ascendant place in education, it is not only that it can only be done by the combined efforts of teachers who know the true meaning of education and of parents who demand that in the training of their children the first thing should be put first, and those who are supposed public opinion that can estimate moral as justly as it estimates material values. I feel especial interest in your school because, as I understand it you are have really getting the truth of character high in your minds. I am sure you cause you seem to see clearly that personal and national; character must rise upon a religious basis. The fundamental organe of communal of this institution is the cause of mankind to be caused to mankind constitute its main source of power and give it its chief opportunity for service to the American people. The annual commencement address was delivered by Justice Wendell Phillips Stafford, associate justice supreme, court of Columbia, at which time three young ladies received their diplomas from the commercial department. His address was one of the most inspiring ever heard in this city. He said in part: This school was born of the realization of this deep truth, that every race must have its leaders, and not its managers or managers. You must provide likeness to the exceptional man. You must encourage leadership. You must see that these who by nature and ambition are capable of discipline fitted to lead wisely. Every race will have its leaders. The black race will have its own. We cannot prevent it. But we can see to it that they are well trained. We can see to it that they shall be filled with true ideas of The time has gone by when you could put the human mind into a dungeon. The instinct for something is unconquerable. Men will have light. They will have their share in the fruits of the earth. They will be the right to position in ever keep down the mighty instinct of growth. As Wendell Phillips was food of saying, "The they woods of a luxurious Italian summer sphere the coral foundations of the Caesar's palace and leave them a man of ruthenium. If you plant an scorn in a vase the bower will die or else the vase will crack. Of all the felines that ever book possession of the human mind the supreme joy is to suppress that you can keep a man in lightness if you cannot be harmed.

Hampton, Va.—(Special)—The forty-third anniversary of Hampton institute, an unisonational industrial school founded in 1868 by Samuel Chapman Amstrup for the training of race teachers and leaders, was fittingly commended by interesting exercls which were held in the large school gymnasium by the senior trade class and the graduating class of the academic department.

Addresses were made at the trade exercises by Dr. Frissell, Dr. William J. Schleffell, president of the New York Armstrong association; Mr. Ogden, Rev. Charles E.

THE PHILOSOPHER It's easy to faille when the sailing is fine; but it is great to be able to grin and bear it when a windstorm threatens. Luck is a verity for some; for others, mischance is the word; and there are a few who trace results from their own actions. It takes a lot more cleverness to make an appearance on little than to make a disappearance with much. Self is the highest Chinese wall we know of. A WINNER. Ambitious Author—Hurray!

The management of the Washington Record, one of our daily papers, wishes it understood that their grand prize contest is strictly for white people and no person of color need apply. As long as we gave them an Afro-American column and numerous subscriptions they held out many inducements, but now that they have drawn the color line, let us pattern our own paper, the curriculum, and for every book, the curriculum, dropped let us two for our own. This is not hearsay, but is the result of a personal, interview with the manager. "A hint to the wise is sufficient." Correspondent. She Know How to Reason. A little girl six years old visited her grandfather, who was a minister of the gospel. He is a man who has contributed something to controversial theology, and is well known as a logician. His granddaughter opened him in this wise: "Grandpa, Uncle Herbert says the moon is made of green cheese?" "Well, dearle, if you want to controvert Uncle Herbert, suppose you look it up in your Bible." "Where'll I look, grandpa?" "Right at the beginning." The little girl sat down and started in. Before she sat finished the second chapter of Genesis, she shouted. "We found it, and it ain't true, grampa! It says God made the moon before he made any cows." Where He Would Fall. "Burbank, has made the cactus fit for food, hasn't he?" "I believe so; why?" "I should like to see what he would do with my wife's biscuits." WHEN A MAN MARRIES BY MARY ROBERTS RINEHART AUTHOR OF THE CIRCULAR STAIRCASE THE MAN IN LOWER TEN, ETC. CHAPTER XVII. (Continued.) "It seems that the gentle Bella has been unusually beastly today to Jim, and—I believe she's jealous of you. Kit. Jim followed her up to the roof before dinner with a box of flowers, and she tossed them over the parapet. She said, I believe, that she didn't want his flowers: He could buy them for you, and be damned to him, or some lady-like equivalent." "Jim is a jellyfish," I said contemptiously. "What did he say?" "He said he only cared for one woman, and that was Bella: That he never had really cared for you and never would, and that divorce counts were not unmitigated evils if they showed people the way to real happiness. Which wouldn't amount to anything if Harbison had not been in the tent, trying to sleep!" Dal did not know all the particulars, but it seems that relations between Jim and Mr. Harbison were rather strained. Bella had left the roof and Jim and the Harbison man came face to face in the door of the tent. According to Dal, little had been said, but Jim, bound by his promise to me, could not explain, and could only stammer something about being an old friend of Miss Knowles. And Tom had replied shortly that it was none of his business, but that there were some things friendship hardly justified, and tried to pass Jim. Jim was instantly enraged: He blocked the door to the roof and demanded to know what the other man meant. There were two or three versions of the answer he got. The general purport was that Mr. Harbison had no desire to explain further, and that the situation was forced on him. But if he insisted—when a man systematically ignored and neglected his wife for some on else, there were communities where he would be tarred and fathered. "Meaning me?" Jim demanded, apoletic. "The remark was a general one," Mr. Harbison retorted, "but if you wish to make a concrete application—!" Dal had gone up just them, and found them glaring at each other, Jim with his hands clenched at his sides and Mr. Harbison with his arms folded and very erect, Dal took Jim by the cibow and led him downstairs, muttering, and the situation was saved, for the time. But Dal was not optimistic. "You can do a bit yourself, Kit," he finished. "Look more cheerful, flirt a little. You can do that without trying. Take Max on for a day or so: It would be charity anthow. But don't let Tom Harbison take it into his head that you are grieving over Jim's neglect, or he's likely to toss him on the roof." "I have no reason to think that Mr. Harbison cares one way or the other about me," I said primly. "You don't think he—he's in love with me, do you, Dal!" I watched him out of the corner of my eye, but he only looked amused. "I in love with you!" he repeated. "Why, bless your wicked little heart." He thinks you're a married woman: "It's the principle of the thing he's fighting for. If I had as much principle as he has I'd—I'd put it out at sateret." Max interrupted us just then, and asked if we knew where Mr. Harbison was. "Can't find him," he said. "I've got the telephone together and have enough left over to make another. Where do you suppose Harbison hides the tools? I'm working with a corpse and two palette knives." I heard nothing more of the trouble that night. Max went to Jim about it, and Jim said angrily that only a fool would interfere between a man and his wife if they were retorted to, cool and his lips were coated parted, and left him. The two principals were coldly civil to each other, and smaller issues were ```markdown ``` A A A lost as the famine grew more and more insistent. For famine it was. They worked the rest of the evening, but the telephone refused to revive and every one was starving. Individually our pride was at low ebb, but collectively it was still formifiable. So we sat around and Jim played Grieg with the soft stops on, and Aunt Selina went to bed. The weather had changed, and it was sheeling, but anything was better than the drawing room. I was in a mood to battle with the elements or to cry—or both—so I slipped out, while Dal was reciting "Give me three grains of corn, mother," threw somebody's overcoat over my shoulders, put on a man's soft hat—Jim's I think—and went up to the roof. It was dark in the third floor hall, and I had to feel my way to the foot of the stairs. I went up quietly and turned the knob of the door to the roof. At first it would not open, and I could hear the wind howling outside. Finally, however, I got the door open a little and wormed my way through. It was not entirely dark out there, in spite of the storm. Aaint reflection of the street lights made it possible to distinguish the outlines of the boxwood plants, swaying in the wind, and the chimneys and the tent. And then—n dark figure disentangled itself from the nearest chimney and seemed to hurl itself at me. I remember putting out my hands and trying to say something, but the figure caught me roughly by the shoulders and knocked me back "Bella Has Been Unusually Beastly Today to Jim." against the door-frame. From miles away a heavy voice was saying, "So I've got you!" and then the roof gave from under me, and I was floating out on the storm, and sleet was beating in my face, and the wind was whispering Over and over, "Open your eyes, for God's sake!" I did open them after a while, and finally I made out that I was lying on the floor in the tent. The lights were on, and I had a cold and damp feeling, and something wet was trickling down my neck. I seemed to be alone, but in a seeond somebody came into the tent, and I saw it was Mr. Harbison, and that he had a double handful of half melted snow. He looked frantic and determined, and only my sitting up quickly prevented my getting another snow bath. My neck felt queer and stiff, and I was very dizzy. When he saw that I was conscious he dropped the snow and stood looking down at me. "Do you know," he said grimly, "that I very nearly choked you to death a little while ago?" "It wouldn't surprise me to be told so," I said. "Do I know too much, or what is it. Mr. Harbison?" I felt terribly ill. It but I would not let him see it. It is queer, isn't it—how we always select the roof for our little differences?" He seemed to relax somewhat at my gibe. "I didn't know it was you," he explained shortly. "Was waiting for some one, and in the hat you wore, and the coat, I mistook you. That's all. Can you stand?" "No," I retorted. I could, but his summary manner displeased me. The sequel, however, was rather amazing, for he stooped suddenly and picked me up, and the next instant we were out in the storm together. At the door he stooped and felt for the knob. "Turn it," he commanded. "I can't roach it." "I'll do nothing of the kind," I said shrewishly. "Let me down; I can walk perfectly well. Then he silm me slowly, in my feet, but he did not open American Golf. Certainly you are in good luck as a golfer if you go to America at all, for they are gloriously hospitable in that land, and, so far as I could see, the idea that some have here, that the American's notion of the object of playing a game is purely to win it to enjoy the playing—is perfectly mistaken. I never had the impression more strongly anywhere of being in the company of men who were playing the game for pleasure, not for the mere sake of winning the match, but then it is certainly true, as I began one of their judges (i mean a legal judge, though he was a judge of golf, too) say in an after-dinner speech, that it is "the cleanest sport in America."—Horace Hutchinson, in London Telegraph. THE COURIER. the door at once. "Are you afraid to let me carry you down those stairs, after—Tuesday night?" he asked, very low. "You still think I did that?" I had never been less sure of it than at that moment, but an imp of perversity made me retort. "Yes." He hardly seemed to hear me. He stood looking down at me as I leaned against the door-frame. "Good Lord!" he gronned. "To think that I might have killed you!" And then—he stooped and suddenly kissed me. The next moment the door was open, and he was leading me down into the house. At the foot of the staircase he paused, still holding my hand, and faced me in the darkness. "I'm not sorry," he said steadily. "I suppose I ought to be, but I am not. Only—I wanted you to know that I was not guilty—before. I didn't intend to now. I am—almost as much surprised as you are." I was quite unable to speak, but I wrenched my hand loose. He stepped back to let me pass, and I went down the hall alone. CHAPTER XVIII. It's All My Fault. I didn't go to the drawing room again. I went into my own room and sat in the dark, and tried to be furiously angry, and only succeeded in feeling queer and tingly. One thing was absolutely certain: Not the same man, but two different men had kissed me on the stairs to the roof. It sounds rather horrid and discriminating, but there was all the difference in the world. But then—who had? And for whom had Mr. Harbison been waiting on the roof? "Did you know that I nearly choked you to death a few minutes ago?" Then he rather expected to finish somebody in that way. Who? Jim, probably. It was strange, too, but suddenly I realized that no matter how many suspicious things I mustered up against him—and there were piety—down in my heart I didn't believe him guilty of anything, except this last and unforgivable offense. Whoever was trying to leave the house had taken the necklace, that seemed clear, unless Max was still foolishly trying to break quarantine and create one of the sensations he so dearly loves. This was a new idea, and some things upheld it, but Max had been playing bridge when I was kissed on the stairs, and there was still left that ridiculous incident of the comfort. Bella came up after I had gone to bed, and turned on the light to brush her hair. "If I don't leave this masseum soon, I'll be carried out," she declared. "You in bed, Lollie Mercer and Dal flirting, Anne hysterical, and Jim making his will in the den! You will have to take Aunt Selina tonight, Kit; I'm all in." "If you put her to bed, I will keep her there," I conceded, after some parley. "You're a dear." Bella came back from the door. "Look here, Kit, you know Jim pretty well. Don't you think he looks ill? Thinner?" "He's a wreck," I said soberly. "You have a lot to answer for, Bella." Bella went over to the cheval glass and looked in it. "I avoid all I can," she said, posting. "He's so wildly funny; he so afraid I think he's serious about you. He can't realize that for me he simply doesn't exist." Well, I took Aunt Selina, and about two o'clock, while I was in my first sleep, I woke to find her standing beside me, tugging at my arm. "There's somebody in the house," she whispered. "Thieves!" "If they're in they'll not get out tonight," I said. "I tell you, I saw a man skulking on the stairs," she insisted. "I got up ungraciously enough, and put on my dressing-gown. Aunt Selina, who had her hair in crimps, tied a vell over her head, and together we went to the head of the stairs." Aunt Selina leaned far over and peered down. "He's in the library," she whispered. "I can see a light." The lust of battle was in Aunt Selina's eye. She girded her robe about her and began to descend the stairs cautiously. Through the hall was empty, but from the den beyond came a rum of voices and the cheers of firelight. I realized the situation then, but it was too late. "Then why did you kiss her in the dining room?" Bella was saying in her clear, high tones. "You did, didn't you?" "It was only her hand," Jim, desperately explaining. "I've got to pay her some attention, under the circumstances. And I give you my word, I was thinking of you when I did it." The wretch! Aunt Selina drew her breath in suddenly. "I am thinking of marrying Reggie Wolfe." This was Bella, of course. "He wants me to. He's a dear boy." "If you do, I will kill him." "I am so very lonely," Bella sighed. We could hear the sway that he had sighed also. And Selina had gripped me by arm, and I could hear her breathing hard beside me. (TO BE CONTAINED.) How It Happened. They were sitting on the hotel plaza comparing notes. "Well, my son-in-law hasn't spoken an unkind word to me for ten years," said one old lady. "How perfectly lovely!" said the other. "No," replied the first, smiling at her friend's pleasantry; "no, we haven't been on speaking terms since 1899." - Harper's Weekly.

Va., June 1 and 2. There was a much larger number of doctors in attendance at this meeting than ever before in the history of the society and the meeting was considered much more profitable and interesting than ever before. The president, Dr. E. Johnson, of this city, in his annual address, made mention of so many helpful suggestions and tried to inculcate so many wise recommendations that if the members of the organization will put them into operation in the future, there will be no reason why new life can not be added and a much greater interest aroused by the medical fraternity than ever before. The next session of the State Medical society will be held here in Huntington in June 1912. The following new officers were elected: Dr. W. A. Holly of Bramwell, W. Va., president: Dr. W. E. Lawrence, Montgomery, W. Va., vice president: Dr. R. L. Jones, Charleston, secretary and treasurer. Fred D.

M. C. A., declared that the education of the negroes of the United States and Europe is a duty that belongs to the present generation of whites, because past generations of whites were responsible for the removal of the negro from his native long He praised the negroes for the progress they were making as a race. Among those who participated in the meeting were United States Commissioner Anson Taylor, H. B. F. Macfarland, Dr. Gallaudet, Dr. Wilbur Thirkind, president of Howard university, and George Otis Smith, president of the Washington branch of the Y. M. C. A. Former Commissioner Macfarland Introduced Ambassador Bryce. Bearing his remarks by reference to the association work as a whole, Mr. Bryce expressed his strong sense of the admirable services which the Y. M. C. A. was rendering all over the world. Of the value of the association as enabling young men to find congenial friends and occupations for their leisure hours, both congenial and useful, he said, it was needless to speak. The benefit was especially great to young men coming in from rural districts to great cities, where they had few or no friends, but it was great to all, and has proved one of the most useful agencies for health and enjoyment that our age had created. The ambassador understood that among the members of the branch he AMBASSADOR BRYCE. was addressing there were a good many British subjects, natives of the West Indies, and he expressed his pleasure at meeting them and his wishes for their welfare. In the British West Indies, he declared, the colored people have an open field and every chance of making useful careers. Here they found in Howard university and other academic and technical institutions opportunities for obtaining the higher instruction ampler than the smaller West Indian islands could provide; and they could also see and endeavor to understand a vast civilized society with all its economic and political developments which was on an incomparably grander scale than anything they had seen at home. So he had no doubt they would profit by their residence in Washington. Addressing himself particularly to the members of the colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. here, Mr. Bryce said it was a pleasure to know how much had been done by the liberality and good will of some leading citizens who were interested in the welfare of the negro population of the city to establish this branch. It was laid upon those who had enjoyed for centuries the benefits of the gospel light by which our code of Christian morality had been created, Mr. Bryce said, to stretch out a helping hand to those whose parents had only within the last two hundred years come into the circle of Christianity and of civilization, and to help them not only by gifts of money, but in a personal way also, by taking an active and direct interest in all that could be for their benefit. The ambassador said he was glad to know that this appeal was meeting with a response. He trusted that the young men of this branch would feel that in all they did now and in after life to improve their own capacities for intellectual progress and in every useful line of effort they were working pot for themselves only; but for the race to which they belonged. That race had made remarkable advances within the last forty-six years, and he shown how great is the invigorating influence of freedom. In introducing Ambassador Bryce, Mr. Macfarlain spoke of his own work in the Y. M. C. A. field, saying, in part: "When the international committee met at Silver Bay on Lake George last summer the needs of the color-department were strongly impressed upon our hearts, and afterward, at the great international convention at Toronto, the same thing happened. So that a number of us were strongly moved to pray and to work as we never had worked before. "The advance that has been made here in Washington, a new building assured in Chicago and a new building assured in Philadelphia and promising movements elsewhere are all signs of what is coming. The publication of Dr. Wetherford's book and the Minced Tarts This is the "mince meat" season. The next time you feel like baking a "batch" of mince pies try making them in tart fashion; that is, with one crust, and see how much more digestible they will prove to be. It is more often the rich crust than the filling that is indigestible. In making mince meat I use only one-fourth as much meat as apple, instead of the old rule of "one-third meat and two-thirds apple." I find it more delicious and far more digestible.

I have been particularly impressed with the patience and fidelity which you of this association have shown in all the difficulties you have had. I honor you for the way in which you have held together and worked and given and sacrificed for this great cause. "A very distinct honor is coming to you today, in the presence of the ambassador of Great Britain. You are most fortunate in hearing from one who represents that great empire with all its millions and hundreds of millions of subjects, including so many more colored men than we have in this country. He represents the kingdom of India and he also represents the people of that great empire—the people that we call 'British, Scotch, Irish and English—and he interprets us to them and them to us." THE MUSEUM OF THE WESTERN WESTERN WESTERN DOMESTIC TRAINING FOR GIRL What's any more pleasing to a husband an accomplished housewife—one that can attend to and care properly for the essentials and obligations that fall to her hand. Many a good man has been badly disappointed when he found out his wife could not come up to the mark in domestic duty around the home. Some girls cannot prepare a decent meal, mend or make a garment, which every girl should be taught. While you are training her in the sciences and arts train her well in the domestic duties. This negligence has caused many a divorce case, disagreeable living and degeneracy among our people more than anything. There are numerous industrial schools throughout the country for negro girls to prepare them for future life. Every negro should take advantage of this opportunity and let his daughter receive the needed training.—Palestine Plaindealer. WORK HORSES AND THEIR FEED. Bulletin 109 of the Iowa station says that it has been found that oats are too expensive to feed in large quantities, and that the ration may be greatly cheapened by substituting oil meal, cotton seed meal, or gluten feed. The health, spirit and endurance of the horses was the same when fed corn in combination with one of these feeds as when oats were fed. These experiments show that oil meal may be worth as much as $60 a ton for horse feeding, and cottonseed meal a little more. The horses did a hard summer's work on these feeds without any considerable loss in flesh. These experiments are of great value to farmers everywhere, as the question of feeding the work horses cheaply, and at the same time in such a way as to keep them in good flesh, is an important one: 2635 WYLIE AVENUE The Largest Colored Grocery, Meat and Provision Store in Pittsburgh We Succeed Because We Strive to Please WM.

WORK CALLED FOR AND DELIVERED 2815 Wylie Avenue. Pittsburg, Pa. NOT A. DYNAMITING RACE. Dynamite as an element of power has never been used by the negro as a means to express his dissatisfaction with existing social or industrial conditions. He knows nothing about its manufacture and cares less. He is content to work out his own salvation by pursuing peaceful pursuits that are not inimical to the security of life or property. His presence in this country is looked upon as one of the nation's greatest problems. But when we take the negro and place him along with other great problems his lot is not so bad after all.—Indianapolis World. Jigson (in cheap restaurant)—There's Rigson over there. Is he economical? 4 Years ago my Hair was only a finger-length, and my temples were bald half way up my head. 4 Years ago my Hair just covered my shoulders. Wigson—No; but he's wise. What he saves by eating cheap lunches he blows in in showing Miss Millyuns a good time. REQUIREMENTS OF THE CASE. She—Yes, I like Ted; he is so extravagant. He—That is hardly the best quality for a husband, is it? She—Of course not; I am not going to marry him. Caper Sauce. Melt one-fourth of a cup of butter and add one-fourth a cup of flour, with half a teaspoonful of salt and a dash of paprika; when bubbling add nearly one pint of the cooled liquid in which the fowl was cooked. When cooked add three tablespoons of capers; when ready to serve remove from the fire and stir in one beaten with the juice of half a lemon. This is a delightful charte from the bread sauce usually served with boiled fowl. Imitation is the sinestest fattary; and the fact that so many people in St. Louis and throughout the country think it worth while to imitate "PORO" HAUT GROWER is the best proof of the merits of "Poro." We were the first to engage in the business of growing the hair regardless of its condition and the condition of the scalp, and in our work we used the preparation which is known as "Poro." This is made and sold exclusively by myself. I have the exclusive right to that name; and I also know the secret of the competition that bears that name. Our skin has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of "Poro" it will continue to do so only this the hair and scalp be kept clean. Many persons are constantly finding that is true. You cannot afford to use more imitations, to risk not attaining the result you desire. Shoulder of Pig. Roasted. Have a shoulder weighing three and one-half to four pounds. Score the skin trasversely, brush over with olive oil, rub with salt and pepper and dredge with flour. Set to cook in a moderate oven. Let cook, if in a double pan, about three hours. Baste with oil and dredge, with flour three or four times. A little water may be added to the pan if desired. Serve on a bed of mashed turnips. Serve also with this dish apple sauce or cabbage salad, one or both. Be sure that the name "Pore" is on every box; not guessing without it. If your hair is dry, harsh, brittle and falling out—use "Pore." It stops the falling and starts the hair to growing at once. Mrs. A. M. Pope-Turnbo 3100 Pine Street St. Louis, Mp.

The act provides that the headquarters of the new court shall be in Pittsburgh, but the county may be divided into districts at the discretion of the court. This is likely to be done. In the event of a division of the county into districts, there certainly comes a chance for a few Negro appointments. It is hoped that every Negro who feels himself competent, will make application for such a position as may be available to any man. Let it not be said that we stood idly and allowed every available place to be filled by white men without even making an effort to secure a similar recognition. Clerks and janitors will certainly be needed, and there is no reason why some of our students and graduates should not apply. We need not expect to be summoned by the sheriff to take a job; but we are expected to make every possible effort to secure at least a portion of the places to be distributed. Get busy and at least try to get something for yourself and the race. Of course we hope our own F. R. Stewart will get the 'appointment to Haiti, but we will wager our purse that President Taft will offer the position to Wm. H. Lewis, assistant attorney general, whose appointment will not be confirmed by the senate, a plan already cut and dried. In this way, Mr. Taft will be in position to say to the Negroes: "I appointed him, but the Senate, would not confrm." Judge Emory Speer of the United States circuit Court rebuked a Georgia lawyer for referring to a Negro as a "migger," during the trial of a case in court.

THE MAYOR WINS. The caliber of the men appointed by Governor Tener to assume control of the affairs of our great city bespeaks more than all previous incidents the political strength of Mayor Magee. It will be recalled that many critics discredited the support given by the Mayor to the Pittsburg Plan claiming that he was not sincere, but only catering to the "best citizens" of the city because of his fear of a political reaction against him. In all parts of the city can be heard words of commendation for the nine men appointed, and in equally as audible tones can be heard the remark that the "boss" was afraid to select men of less standing, lest the mayor and the good citizens of the city should defeat them at the election next fall. The mayor has expressed himself as being satisfied with the selection. He certainly has cause to be satisfied: for it was out of respect to him and his strength that the men were named. While there is a slight trace of factional relations to be found in the politics of a few of the nine, this is counteracted by the independence of the rest. But let no one think that all is done; far from it. Next fall will bring to many a man either sweet revenge or bitter defeat. Many a broken promise will be recalled next fall, and those who have broken faith with the mayor will be brought to the realization that the way of the traitor is exceedingly hard. AT OUR DOORS If there is one crying need above another in this city it is the need of a well organized Social-Settlement-Work Committee, whose labors shall be devoted to the betterment of conditions in what is commonly known as the Hill District. A pedestrian passing through this section of the city must be impressed with the unsanitary conditions surrounding the home life of the unfortunate tenants. The hovels occupied should be condemned, and the property owners made to either erect proper tenements or sufficiently, improve conditions to the extent of guaranteeing health to their tenants. The Negro children of this section of the city can never hope to become stalwart men and women, either morally or physically, so long as they are confined to an environment so productive of disease and unclean living. It must not be forgotten that the race is charged with the responsibility of these children as well as with the responsibility of the children living under perfect conditions; these fortuitous form a part of our census, and as such are a part of the burden distributed upon the shoulders of us all by the Gaucasian who exports us to lift ourselves up, not as individuals, not as communities, but as a race. That we must rise as a whole, and not by installments or parts, has long since been accepted as the true method of race progress and elevation. How necessary then, that something be done to elevate conditions at our doors, and thus assume our portion of the distributed burden. The recent Act of Assembly which provides for this county what shall be known as the county court, makes possible the appointment of a few Negroes or positions necessarily incident --- Jones has had a varied experience including newspaper work that will make her services very valuable to this paper.

You look on or read the same time this Frank Archeal, the well-known progressive and popular business man G. Wylie avenue, has now taken full possession of store rooms and flats above at Nos: 1317-19 Wylie avenue, and has opened up a first-class barber shop and billiard and pool room that is a credit to the race.

The flats above these stores will be used to accommodate the P. R. R. dining car men. The well-known employment agency of Frazier & Brown have supplied for the P. R.

Help your own race up the ladder for your children's sake and the future generation. We must open avenues of employment for our people, and the quickest way to do it is by cooperation. This is the key. Don't throw it away. At Avery Trade commencement last week the orchestra was white. We wonder why a colored institution would discriminate against their own?

PLAIN TALK FROM A PRACTICAL MAN ON NEEDS OF RACE This is a "Get-Together Age," which applies to church, home and business. The churches must work in unison; so must the pastors and so must all Christians. In the home, the cradle and foundation or all that makes for the betterment of mankind and future elevation of the race begins there. Father, mother and children must "get together," and work for the upbuilding of that home. In the business enterprise of the race, the need of "gatting together" is much evident and very essential if the race is to move up in the business world. Whenever you can invest a dollar or five cents with your race in any line of business or profession, do it, and don't forget to remember the more of the race who get up at the top of the ladder, helps you so much and gives the race that much more influence, power and respect in this country. This is the Age of the "survival of the fittest." If you cannot deliver the goods, you will lose out, and you have to work yourself. If you are not giving value for the money, don't blame the race for not supporting you in your undertakings. Competition is keen today, and you must be on the job and try to do a little better than the other fellow. What did your father will not answer now. The standard is higher. We spend too much money for picnics, dances and having a glory hall. We spend too much money for the moment of home church and advancement of the race. Think over this. ERIE NOTES (By Margaret J.

MONEY MADE ON INVESTMENTS to get returns from their money. The RED OAK COAL COMPANY, Inc., is offering to the colored people of the Pittsburgh District an unparalleled opportunity to purchase stock at a low figure in a company that has made good, and is making large dividends for its stockholders. This company is organized for the purpose of mining and operating coal mines. It is at present operating two mines at BELLE VERNON, PA, with a large out-put every day. The design being to put the stock of the company within reach of all persons of small means. The stock per shape is $50.00 but persons who are unable to pay the whole amount when joining are allowed special terms to suit the investor. This is an excellent opportunity for persons to invest in home industries and place their money in a community with which they are familiar and where they can see and know just how the money is being invested and expended. It has been demonstrated that coal, particularly in this section, is an extremely profitable investment; immense fortunes have been made in this community by operating coal mines and the buying and selling of coal. This is an opportunity for our people in a purely business way and by small investments to get quick and good returns for their money invested. If you are interested, let us number you with those who are stockholders and are well satisfied with the company. (By Mary M. Workman.)

To steal a kiss is sometimes highway robbery—in the dark. Almost half the time, to be conspicuous is to be ridiculous. The progressive man is always living at least a day ahead of his fellowmen. Where ignorance is bliss it's folly to ask the grocer how much you owe him. Veracity can be destroyed by one little word, and no thousand word defense can strengthen it again. Pessimism has never helped to lighten the soul's heaviest burden. The romance of the boy of today will be the burden of the man of tomorrow. The man who lives for himself alone is a parasite which no remedy can destroy. When the heart is weariest one has but to look around at happy, busy nature and be consoled. They may laugh who wish at the deep channel Jacksonville is entitled to, but when it becomes reality, the laugh will be on them. Make of today a happy one, and the dawn of a tomorrow will have fair prospects. Give out your hand to a former friend and you may reduce part of the differences. The hour of prayer may seem terribly long to Willie, only he'll be the only one to say so. The fresh flowers and ferns on your best girl's hat will drive wilted nature from your mind. In blind man's land, a one-eyed man is a celebrity; thus in a dry state a wet locker is an oasis. Make the Sabbath day holy, no matter in what form. Sometimes, going to church interferes with a great duty, but you can't make any preacher believe that. That money walks is evidenced by the spring millinery movement. If this rise keeps on we'll be tempted to make wheat our national flour. One trouble with the new style dress is that the women look so different at home. What a shame for the girls to hide their beautiful foreheads with hide- ous bangs. The gentlemen whose opinions have greatest weight are to be found on supreme court benches. The best way to keep your boy out of the swimming pool is to send him to see the baseball games. The busy man who can treat a book agent politely is well qualified to become a good husband. Most business men have troubles of their own; if you want to unload yours, write them out, then tear up the letter. Never butt in to ask a favor of a man who is already bored stiff by that other long talker who is with him. The man who gives his spiel in crisp, concise sentences and leaves immediately after getting your yes or no is surer of an affirmative answer on second call. If you do as you're done by your stepmother, well, don't do it. You can tell a man is faking love by the ready way in which he makes it up as he goes. There are too many shows in town for any girl risking making of herself a free exhibition. My chum's brother says that the only Russian custom he approves of is the kissing after church services on Easter Sunday—but that's a funny part of the anatomy. There's no use in a girl affecting modesty, none at all. The best man at a wedding is glad the worst is over. To be overdressed is worse than to be over-perfumed. The man who flirts never falls to find a chorus to support him. Some girls have cozy-corner minds, others have the out-of-doors kind. Never begin a fishing story by say- ing it's true. Show me the pessimist and I will point out the victim of his own fail- ings. Lack of fear has never been catalog- ued as true courage—for instance, the bachelor never quakes at the thought of seven dozen hooks on one gown. LISEN JEFFERSON TALKING 70 FOLLOW ST.

E. church, South Brownsville, headed by Garner's band and the Uniform Rank of Unionown. The usual Pythian thanksgiving program was followed. The address on behalf of the order by C. W. Florence, lecturer and principal of the Grafton, W. Ya., schools, was full of thought, interesting and well delivered. The annual sermon was delivered by the Rev. Dr. C. A. McGee, in which this distinguished Christian orator, thinker and minister, traced the benefits and non-benefits derived from the order. All were well pleased with his thoughts. G. A.

Some are contemplating entering some 0.0 of our universities in the fall. ARARAT NOT EASY TO. CLIMB Only Seventeen Ascents of the Mountain Where the Ark Rested Have Been Recorded. Ararat is not a mountain that is climbed every day, or even every year. Seventeen ascents have been recorded. When James Bryce, unaccompanied, made his remarkable ascent in 1876 he was told by every one whom he met in the vicinity of the mountain that the top had never been reached, and what was more, it never could be. Jinnn and fiends and giants had prevented the rascally Kurds from even attempting to scale the terrible mountain, and since the Ark grounded there mortal man had not been allowed to trespass on the scaled heights he was informed. Had not St. Hagop tried again and again to reach the summit in order to silence the skeptics about the Ark? But found himself each morning on waking quietly deposited at the base, whence he started. Finally an angel presented him with a piece of the Ark for his pains, but told him to cease his attempts to reach the hidden ground. That was in the fourth century of our era, but the piece of the Ark is still to be seen at the monastery of the Etchmaidmish, where dwells the catholicos of the Armenian church. That Russians, or a stray lenglishman had really reached the top of Ararat was not to be thought of. The Religions of Japan To the ranging eye the fruits brought forth by the religions of China appear to be numberless temples dingy and neglected; countless dusty idols portray bideous deities in violent attitudes expressive of the worst passions; an array of ignorant priests as skeptical as Roman anguas, engaged in divining, exorcising and funnishing funeral ceremonies for gain and a laity superstitious and irreverent given to perfunctory kowing and prayer promoted by the most practical motives—Century Magazine. The Babies Came. Too. Babies at home receptions are among the novelties in the way of entertaining, having been introduced into London by Lady Pembroke. Mothers, all of whom had titles, came with their babies, the nurses carrying them into the rooms, where they were handed over to the mothers, who were obliged to hold them themselves for a time at least. YOUTH LIVES IN THE PAST Wisconsin Boy Reared by a Talented - Recluse is a Most Accomplished Latinist. Hayton, Wis.—Gustave Bauman of this place is so complete a Latinist that, could he be transported to ancient Rome, his language would be entirely familiar to him. Aside from his unique knowledge of Latin he is atl- oger untaught. He has never attended school a day, can speak English not at all and German only in the colloquial form common here. He is 13 years old. When he was three years old he was adopted by Henry Bauman, a tal- M. Gustave Bauman. ented recluse who has lived here in a hovel that was once a stable, for many years. Disgusted, he said, with everything pertaining to modern life. Bauman determined to rear his foster son in the atmosphere of a by-gone age. The classic tongue of Rome was the only language taught to the boy by his eccentric parent, who was well able to follow his part, he having been a noted Latin scholar in Europe. When the lad was ten years and his possessed a keen intellect, that the school taught youth of twice his age could not hope ever to equal Now, he speaks the ancient tongue so well and reads and writes it with such fluency that he may well be said to have revived a dead language. The elder Bauman's desire to bring up the boy in an atmosphere of aloofness from all that is modern has been well carried out. The youth has never hidden on a train, used a telephone or in any way mingled in the life of the village, which, narrow as it is, represents him the great outside world, full of evils and temptations. BIBLE THAT BROUGHT $50,000 Rare Book, Which-Henry E. Huntington Bought From the Robert Hoe Collection. New York—This Gutenberg Bible, from the Robert foe collection, was sold in New York City at auction to Henry E. Huntington, nephew of the late Collis P. Huntington, for $50,000. The Gutenberg Bible was printed some time between 1459 and 1455. The value of the copies of the Gutenberg Bible lies not alone in their beauty, great as it is as an example of the bookmaker's art, nor in their rarity, for there are thirty-four copies known The Gutenberg Bible. to be in existence. The Gutenberg Bible is the first book known to have been printed from movable types. The catalogue of the Hoe auction says of the copy recently sold: "Printed on vellum of the finest quality, it is in remarkably clean and fresh condition, the bold gothic characters standing out with undiminished grandeur. Whereas all copies vary slightly, the above is one of the few known to exist with headings at the commencement of the Epistle of St Jerome, and the First Book of Genesis printed in red, it being presumed that on account of the difficulty encountered in printing in a second color this undertaking was discontinued. In the British museum copy these spaces were left blank. The other chapter headings throughout are written in red in a contemporary gothic hand, thus preserving the symmetry of the page, while the beautiful illuminated initials and decorations, taken in conjunction with the antique and massive appearance of the binding, contribute to make this a truly magnificent example, if not one of the finest in existence. The two leaves. Fo. 269 and 640, which are in facsimile, constitutes the only defects." 1.800 Foreign Girls Lost Indianapolis, Ind.—"Eighteen hundred immigrant girls were lost track of after having been received at Elisa island, and put aboard trains for Chicago and other points in the west; on the last year and a half," Miss Grace Abbott of Hull House, Chicago, said in discussing the biennial convention of the Young Women's Christian association of America, the problem of caring for immigrant girls. Miss Abbott advocated a federal immigration bureau in Chicago, "as a check on the work of the white slaves." Immigrant girls deserted the quaint shawls and "sprons of their native lands for the hobble skirt all too quickly. Miss Abbott said." THE COURIER. Losing and Finding Life A Sermon He that findeth his life shall lose it, and he that loseeth his life for my sake shall find it—Matthew' 10: 39. Our Lord uses paradoxes because they compel thought. To lose one's life ordinarily means to die. To find life is not so familiar. We speak of finding life hard or pleasant, but in this place it seems to mean finding all the happiness, contentment and peace that may be had in this world, the abundance of life, of which Christ spoke, "I came that ye might have life and ye might have it more abundantly." Life, then, means all that we get out of our existence in this world; we may get much or little; we may lead a vegetable life, or a butterfly life, or an intellectual life, or a spiritual life, a selfish or a useful life, but whatever it is it is the only life we have and the continuation of it will be conditioned by it as certainly as adult life is by the way our youth is spent. Our thought is, then, of life as we have it here and now. Men and women whose daily round is made up of work, care of the family, a due amount of recreation and pleasure (intellectual or otherwise); persons of social instincts and like-minded friends, enjoying music and art and nature according to their capacity, taking vacations of travel or holidays of pleasure in parks or other resorts; persons who belong to churches and attend them, as many do, with little idea of more than a certain moral uplift—these persons undoubtedly find life. So far as their ability and desire go they have got all the world has to give. We commend such people as a rule. They commit no crimes, they set an example of moderation—they live in the present. But despite a certain amount of church-going that affects the mind and body rather than the heart, and not withstanding much work done for the public good as in municipal associations and civic leagues, or for the bettering of the physical condition of children and the social status of working people, or for solving the problems of woman's emancipation, these same lives may yet be essentially worldly as contrasted with Christian lives. Suppose one could actually do away with poverty, banish unlovely surroundings, clean up municipal corruption, do away with the troubles of labor and the worries of capital, the Christian ideal would yet be unrealized. The Pharisees, we recall, did not come in for much praise, though they had whitewashed the tombs of the prophets and cleansed the outside of the cup and platter. Goodness and happiness do not necessarily come with wealth and beauty and a well-governed community. Leaders in splendid reform movements are constantly showing the unlovely attributes Scraps Here's relief in sight at last. The newest frock is called the "oocoon" and it is neither plinned, buttoned nor hooked. Married men will hall it with unfeligned joy.—Tampa Tribune. It is proposed in Illinois to tax bachelors, and in Wisconsin to tax auctions. In Kansas bables are to be taxed. The next move will be to tax the pretty widows.—Knoxville Tribune. It is said that seven miles above the earth the temperature is stationary at zero. If that is true lots of us rheumatic cusses had rather go "down" than "up."—Memphis Commercial Appeal. A fashionable tailor is advising his customers to select their clothes to match their hair. Probably he will let the bald-headed ones wait until the weather is warmer.—Cleveland Leader. A New York banker says that money is "distressingly easy." That banker ought to know how to sympathize with the doctor who complained that it is "distressingly healthy."—Durham (N. C.) Sun. Professor Henderson of Harvard declares ten cents a day will provide adequate nourishment for a man weighing 155 pounds. Many here live on less than that—the board with the old man—Richmond Journal. A sign in Buffalo reads: "Don't Dress Until You See Us." Wonder what a modest maid thinks when she reads that sign!—Allentown Democrat. Just another suggestion for branding married men so they can be told from unmarried variety—put them in Helen pink harem skirts—Nashville Tennessee. Perhaps it is proof of the eternal fitness of things that a woman should purr if you call her a kitten, and scratch if you call her a cat—Memphis Commercial-Appal. Another blow to art has just been administered by a Washington judge who has ruled that a street piano is a vehicle.—Key West Citizen. There are two reasons why the bar rem skirt is not popular—one on each side.—Albuquerque Journal. It used to be a maxim in law that "death marks the end of human conduct which can give rise to legal liability," but it is not that way in Houston, Tex., where a cremation concern sued a corpse because he had "permitted" an undertaker to take possession of his remains, thereby breaking an agreement with the cremator that his body should be burned.—Richmond Times-Dispatch. of jealousy and intolerance. More knowledge of the right and wrong thing to do, the right and wrong way to live, is doubtless very helpful, but it is something which experience acquaints us with before we are very old. Moving pictures are not going to reform the heart of a child, nor are municipal leagues going to make people unselfish and loving. Such lives are not purely selfish lives, not mean, sordid or self-seeking lives, caring for, no one outside of self and family, and yet it is of these lives that Christ says, "He that findth his life shall lose it." The fact is, Christ has little or nothing to do with them. Good home, social and municipal life can be worked out on a Buddhist morality. Good as it all is, the fundamental Christian ideal is lacking. What does it mean, then, to lose one's life and to find it? If it seems to anyone to mean that he must abjure all the pleasures of life and devote himself to austerity and prayer, then this is the monastic and ascetic life which has been thoroughly tried out and found wanting as a general principle of life. It must mean, then, finding one's life as Christ found his, in living for the purpose of making other individuals better and happier, losing it in the sense of self-seeking and finding it in the pleasure of seeing others better as the result of your life. It can mean nothing else than giving yourself. It is an easy thing to give money if you have it; it is an inspiring thing to study the problems of social betterment and to give much time to improve the condition of the masses. This is most necessary work, no doubt. It involves the giving of money, time and brains, but not the heart, and it is in the heart that we live. It is only when you give yourself to help other individuals, as Christ gave himself, because they are brothers, because they are worth just as much as you are, because you love them and want them to have every good thing that you have, that you know what it is to lose your life and to find it. Most persons would rather do anything than come out of their shell and try to help other men and women. They cling to their aloofness. Anglo-Saxons have crystallized this feeling into a proverb of self-affness and call it "minding one's own business." Christ came to teach us the true life, to get us out of our selfishness, to show us what the brotherhood of mankind means. It is not easy at first to see the fallacy in the program of life that I have sketched above. It is innocent, commendable, fine, but the trouble comes just here—that for all such respectable persons do the other man or woman may go to the devil 'any way he or she likes so long as they are let alone. People have not pursued this selfish source for centuries without having accumulated some specious arguments for 'minding their own business,' but they all go to pieces in the light of the divine example. One spark of grace and love, and you see with clearer eyes, how you have been finding your life in your own exclusive sphere, and how you must lose your life for Christ's sake, if you would find the true life.

A., the well-known artist, who has just celebrated his eighteenth birthday, affords one more proof that a man is not too old at forty, or even at eighty. Burna, Byron, Keats, Shelley, Mozart, and Raphael died young, but most of the greatest achievements have been the work of men who had reached the forthteen year. In fact, the sixth decade of life has been the most prolific in human master work. Within that period of existence Caesar wrote his "commentaries," Bacon his "Novum Organum" and Dante his "Dylips Comedy." Cromwell was fifty when he defeated Charles I.; Columbus, Humboldt, Galvani, John Hunter, Kepler and Faraday, had they died before they attained that age, would not have effected their most important discoveries. Handel's "Messiah" and Beethoven's "Choral Symphonies" would not have been composed Markborough would not have won Blenheim, Velasquez "Pope Innocent Rembrandt's "Syndics," Galbersonough "Morning Walk," Constable's "Valley Farm" would not have been painted; Turner's legacy to the world would have been robbed of much of its splendor had it, and their gentil failed at fifty, while Titian, after he had passed Mr. Leader's age, produced more than one masterpiece. London Post. Strict Sabbath Observance. A story of strict Sabbatarianism is told by one of the old chronicles in a life of Richard de Clare, earl of Gloucester. One Saturday in 1250 a Jew of Tewkesbury fell into a well on the earl's estates, and out of reverence for the day (the Jewish Sabbath) would not allow himself to be drawn out. The earl proved equally praticious, and on the next day (the Christian Sunday) would not allow his servants to labor in rescuing the Jew. On Monday morning they found him dead. Greatness and the Chain. No man can be a great officer who is not infinitely patient of details, for an army is an aggregation of details a defect in any one of which may destroy or impair the whole.

AFRO-AMLHGAW CULLINGS The exclusion of American negroes from Canada under the Canadian im- migration law can perhaps be effected Without giving the United Stafes gov- emment any, ground for diplomatic protest, if it {s based upon the ground that the negro could not adapt bim- self tc the “rigorous” climate of the feck gat, cmsecieally world be ble to become. a public charge. It ts a flimsy pretense, of course, that the negro in general cannot be perma- nently self-supporting in western Can- ada. It was a negro that went with Peary, to the north pole. Negroes bere in New Ecgland bave for generations adapted themselves to severe winter weather. But Canada right be strictly within her rights in barring negro smml- grants on that ground. The Canadian Inw provides that the overtor in sounell, whenever be deems it neces- sary of expedient, may “probibit for a stated period. or permanentls, the landing in Canada, or the landing at any specified port in Canada, of Ime! grants belobsirg to any race deemed unsuited to the climate or require- ments cf Canada, or of immigrants of any specified cless, occupation’ or character.” So Icng 26 no ciserixina- tions were enforced againet American immigrants as Americans, but against a particular class on grounds that are aniversal in their appiicaticn, tt may be-that no official complaint by our goversment cculd be made. ‘We ehould advise the leaders of the negro race ini this country, however, to demand the protection of cur state department and force it to take a defi nite position regarding the matter, znd also to push to the extreme limit fn Canadian courte, by means of a test case. a denial cf the Canadian gov- ernment’s cluim that nerroes are in- capable, of remaining economically 3el-suphorting in the Canadian cli- mate.—Springfield Republican. . Seemingly instartaneoue, West In- dian emancipation was in reality grad- aal. Colonies which neglected to pre- bare for st as Jong as fifty years before were at great Csadvantege, so far as racin} adjustment was concerned. In- sisting on ap apprenticeship system in place of immediag# emancipation. they reaped theiz reward in the shape of fierce outbreaks, which came from black men determined to be free In- eed or die for liberty. As was said defore,. this vast social change -was foreseen almost fifty years before it pecurred and was carefully provided for by men who followed the English custom of undertaking and " agcom- plishing conaututlonal and sociél re- forms ahcad of time, and not in a few brief yeara of violence and civil strife. It was not adopted as a means of po- Utieal expediency nor from the ne sesaity of war. Hence the basis for “the very kindly retetions between the races” In the West Indies stretches Tar back Into the past. The souther- ver in the United States may view with increasing eéneern the widening ot the charm between his son and the jon of the black man with whom be played in childhood. He knows that Shere sympathy and affection are wanting and race instinct strong, ¢ru- aity and might have become dominant ind that these two hurt the oppressor ts much as the oppressed. The Wert Indian white man bas no such fear. He bas bis prejudices; equally’ strong ire those of the black man. For this reason the one Face respects the otb- sre prejudices, both feeling that on the brgad field of Industrr. of educa son, of gobd citizenship end of man- 300d there is rocm enough for both shite and black—The Southern Workin. * the awakened interest in the wom- oa of the colored race Is as general as Tis gratlfsing.

Her work is more than merely hearing recitations. The formation of character and the development of thought in the child also should be the aim of the teacher. She has opportunity of moulding and shaping sentiment in them for that which is good and strong and pure. She has the opportunity of placing before them such ideals the working towards which will enrich their lives. Not only she should she enrich the lives of the boys and girls under her immediate care, but the lives of all who come in touch with her. The community in which she lives should be better and stronger because of her presence. She should at all times be ready to lend a helping hand to every worthy cause that presents itself. So many of the homes of our people lack in the things that will make them bright and beautiful and helpful to the young. Here she has an opportunity to be of much help in giving advice and offering suggestions that will tend to make the home more attractive. Too few of our homes know what kind of literature to give the young. Too often there is, nothing there to feed the mind, and, the children are left to their own resources to find such literature so they like best. So often the charge is made that education does our young people harm. Here the teacher has an opportunity by her work to show that such charges are not based on facts. The teacher should take the lead, or at least be found in the front ranks of all movements that are for the moral uplift and material well-being of the people in her community. In other words, the teacher should be a leader in all that the term implies. Let not the golden opportunity pass by unheeded. Selze it while it is with in your grasp, and thereby make yourself a power, for good among those with whom your lot is cast—Birringham American. LIBERIA'S NEXT PRESIDENT The next president of Liberia will be Daniel E. Howard, now secretary of the treasury. The vice-president will be Senator S.C. Harmon of Grand Bassa, a port town about half way down the Liberian coast. Judge Dossen, now vice-president, was an active candidate for the nomination, but his name was not presented to the convention. The Liberians elect their president in pretty much the manner that prevails in the United States, but they have only one political party and the nomination is the same as any election. All the doubt and most of the excitement precede the party's convention instead of accompanying the actual pollning of the votes. Mr. Howard has served for a number of years as the chairman of his party, but he is a very quiet, gentle party librarian. He has made a good secretary of the treasury and his experience in financial matters will be much to his advantage in this critical period of Liberia's history. He's American in his sympathies and has the general confidence of his people. The vice president to be is pre-eminently a business man. He had never held office prior to his present term as senator and his election in that instance was practically the result of pressure. He is a large and prosperous merchant and agent of the Elder-Dempster Steamship company of Liverpool. Everybody likes him and nobody has ever questioned his integrity. He is a warm friend of everything American Altogether the new selection augurs well for the negro republic. The new administration will be beset with international difficulties of the gravest character, and it is a matter of serious doubt whether the integrity of Liberia will long remain intact. If anybody in Liberia can preserve the independence of the little state* Howard and Harmon are the men—New York Sun. Creamed Carrots. Cook young carrots whole in boiling water, or, if old, cut the carrots in slices. Make a cream sauce with one and one-half level tablespoonful of flour, blended with two lesel tablespoonfuls of batter in a saucepan set on the fire, add half a teaspoonful of onion juice, a tablespoonful of salt and a few dashes of white pepper. Add a cup of hot cream and stir until it boils. Add the carrots cut in small pieces, heat and serve. Recipe for Apple Snow. Boll six apples until done, press them through a sieve, sweeten to taste and flavor with a teaspoonful of lemon. Proth the whites of six eggs, add two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar. Beat the apple pulp to a froth and mix with the egg whites and whisk until it looks like snow. Garnish with candied lemon peel and sliced apples and serve very cold. An Effort to Oblige. "Mr. Lobrow does his best to be agreeable," said the sympathetic young woman. "It's too bad he has so little tac." "I understand that Miss Coddleyap refuses to speak to him. He sent her a box of candy, and she fed it all to her pet ferrier. So he tried to be still more kind and thoughtful and sent her a box of dog biscuits.—Washington Star. Gloves for Street Wear The usual gloves for street wear should be loose and not too thin. It is a well-known fact that the hand kept in a muff is sensitive to the cold and will become chapped and red within a few moments if exposed to the air in a very thin kid glove. It is also a fact that hands inclosed in tight gloves will chap easier than when the glove is locte and comfortable, like a man's. The man with a chip on his shoulder usually has the stepping shoulder. PRESERVING HINTS PRESERVING HINTS BY MR8. ZELLICOR. The practical house mother who has been preserving fruit for years in the same way—just as her mother did when she was a child—will perhaps welcome some up-to-date methods of preparing goodies. Currant Jelly.—This is a safe and at the same time simple recipe for the most popular of all jellies. Strain the juice of raw currants through cheesecloth bags and to every cup of the clear juice you must have one cup of granulated sugar, heated in the oven. Do not allow it to melt. Boll the clear juice for about five minutes, then add the sugar and stir until thoroughly dissolved. Just before it comes to a boil remove from fire and pour into jelly glasses. Ginger Pearls.-Take eight pounds of hard, green pears, eight pounds of sugar, half a pound of green ginger root, the juice of four large lemons. Cut the outside skin off the lemons in very small pieces, but be sure to cut away the white part, leaving only the yellow outside skin. Put the ginger root to soak in a pint of lukewarm water over night, drain off the water, strain and save to put with the sugar. Scrape and cut the ginger in thin slices. Put all the ingredients together and cook nearly an hour—or until the syrup is thick. Watermelon Rind Preserves—Buy a large, luscious melon and cut the red heart out and serve for dessert. Carefully save the white rind and peel it, and cut in rather long thick pieces—about the size and thickness of a small cucumber pickle. Take the juice and the rind of two large lemons (rind cut in small pieces). Cook the latter and a piece of white ginger until tender. Take the weight of the melon fruit in sugar and enough water to dissolve it. When the syrup has cooked until it ropes, add the lemon juice, rind and fruit. Then cook all together until clear. THE FARM MACHINIST. The farmer should be a student of machinery until he becomes a farm machinist. Farming has now become a job with machinery from spring to fall, and the man who knows how to handle his machinery to best advantage does the best work and makes it easiest for his horses. There is even a knack in putting a sulky plow in trim—Denver Field and Farm. .. DANGEROUS LIES. That a lie which is half a lie is ever the blackest of lies. That lie which is all a lie may be met and fought with outright. But a lie which is part a truth is a THE WORST OF IT. "I'm sorry you've got to leave Eden and go to work simply because I gave you the rest of that apple," said contrite Eve. "Never mind," answered Adam. "The ultimate consumer always gets the worst of it." HOT WATER PLANTS. In the hot springs of the Yellowstone park and in other hot spring waters water plants thrive at a temperature as high as 155 degrees—only twenty-seven degrees below the temperature of boiling water. RICH MAN, POOR MAN. You can easily tell a poor man from a rich one by examining his mail. The poor man's mail consists of requests for money that he owes; the rich man's for money that he doesn't owe—Lippincott's. STARTED AT THE BACK. "I've begun to read that novel you loaned me." "The first chapter is peculiar, isn't it?" "I haven't come to that yet." WENT TO HER HEAD Extract from a young lady's letter from Venice: "Last night I lay in a gondola in the Grand canal, 'drinking it all in, and life never seemed so full before." —Lipnott's. PROGRESS. Each year the millinery show Bakes, so some are funnier. They try to make no larger, so They try to make them-funnier. —Spokane Spokesman-Review. To Brighten Old Gilt. Old gift, such as the glided,frames of chairs or old picture frames and mirrors, if they do not require regliding entirely, may be brightened by using an excellent mixture of three ounces of white of egg and an ounce of chloride of potash or soda. This should be painted over the surface with a feather or a water-color paint brush. Fowls of the Air. "When I order poultry from you again," said the man who quarrels with his grocer, "I don't want you to send me any of those aeroplane chickens." "What kind do you mean?" "The sort that are all wings and ma chinery add no meat."—Good "Housekeeping." TIME FLIES. We pass this way but once. We cannot retract our steps to any preceding milestone. Every time the clock strikes it is both the announcement of the hour which we are entering and the knell of the one which is gone.—Chauncey M. Depew. Friendship is a tie that never binds to suffocation. To run away from duty is one way of meeting difficulty. CONNELLSVILLE. CONNELLSVILLE. (By Lavada Burd.) Highland Baptist Church. Mrs. V.

To do or not to do may be youre as you may choose, but it is the man that "does this happen" today that succeeds. If you are in business, and don't want the other fellow to run away with your business, the Age requires you to keep before the public, always, and the success of each Big Department's Stories as Bennie Nelman, 1405 Fifth Avenue and Kaufman's, Fifth Avenue and Smithfield Street, are due to their extensive advertising of their goods and prices that attract the trade. You have got to spend money to make money, or sooner or later you will be forced to the wall. If the merchants of this city want more patronage of the colored people, we have the medium, circulation and paper that reaches the home. It's the only real newspaper the Race has ever had in Pittsburgh. Incorporated under the laws of Pennsylvania and entered at the Post Office as second-class matter, its circulation is growing weakly, and has man back it of who have the reputation of making good—that's why the Courier is a success. (Continued from Page One.) Shall it be vice and crime and rebellion shall it be law and mail it truth and virtue and loyalty to God and to the state? That is the question. The mistake men have made so often in the past, has been in supposing that the strong and prosperous hold a mortgage of the money made in the form of the other way. It is the weak who have mortg- age upon the strong. It is the ignorant who have a claim upon the learned. There is no safety but in justice. There has so made the world so corrupt and unjust, that they have injustice, ignorance and crime and poverty from their borders. That is the only policy of insurance that in the long run is worth a penny. There is no safety for a state citizen. It is wiltly said. You can do almost anything with a bayonet except at the top. You cannot rust a nation upon form. If that nation has old forms of government how much more is it true under a government like ours, where public sentiment is the only king, where a letter is the dead letter unless the good will of the community is behind it? Durham has become one of the most important cities of the 18th century among the hills of North Carolina has drawn to itself the attention of the whale country. Why? Because it has struck bedrock on the best elements of the best elements of both races meet and work together for the good of all. Mutual helpfulness and mutual realization are the most commandable words that have been borne on them. We have seen a circuit judge of the United States and a former governor of the state of Texas, and a treasury of this institution. We have seen a distinguished ex-Confederate officer, perhaps the foremost citizen of his time, who served in the Confederate funds, to give it the prestige of his name and benefit of his counsel and service, and we have seen the good people of this town and the people of this state and broad hospitality in an attempt to elevate a place.
