THIS PAPER IS NOW READ BY 10,000 COLORED PEOPLE WEEKLY THE PITTSBURGH COURIER. Effective Social Agencies Consolidate For the Purpose of Doing a More Constructive Work For Improving Conditions Among Afro-Americans Results of Previous Efforts Shown. By N. BARNETT DODSON. New York.—The committee for improving the industrial condition of colored people, the Nation League for the Protection of Colored Women and the committee on urban conditions among colored people in New York have consolidated under the name of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People. This is the first time that a number of social agencies have got together with a definite aim of uniting their work and preventing overcharging and duplication. The objects of the dego are, first, to promote and to carry on constructive and preventive social work for improving the social and economic conditions of the race in urban centers; second, to bring about coordination and cooperation among exclosing agencies in urban centers; third, to develop other measures where necessary; fourth, to scme and train members of the race for social work and to make such studies in cities as may be required. The membership of the league consists of equal representation from the membership of the three organizations. EUGENE KINOKLE JONES. The officers are; Professor E. R. A. Seligman, chairman; Dr. William L. Bulkley, Mrs. William H. Baldwin, Jr., and Jacob W. Mack, vice chairmen; Edward E. Pratt, secretary; A. S. Erisell, treasurer; L. Hollingsworth Wood, assistant treasurer. This new movement toward the consolidation of activities in New-York and other large cities is the outgrowth of the work of the committee on urban conditions which was organized largely through the efforts of Mrs. William H. Baldwin, Jr. in 1910. The work of the committee during the year has been peculiarly successful. Besides bringing about the organization of the national league, it has made a preliminary survey of the Harlem district which has resulted in a local movement among the residents for improvement. The committee is also conducting the work of the central bureau of fresh air agencies. It supervised all the fresh air work in New York city the past summer. It conducted a model camp for colored boys at Manorville, N. Y., and a playground was established in Harlem. One of the most interesting parts of the committee's work will be continued under the National League, is the work done in the department of social science at Pisk university. This work has been contributed with great success by Professor George E. Haynes. There are two graduate fellowships under the committee of urban conditions. Two students, one a graduate of Pisk university, and the other of Atlanta Institute choice are studying at the New York school of philanthropy and Columbia university. The National League for the Protection of Children Women has been doing an important work. Sisters have been established in Norfolk, Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore and New York. It also keeps a list of relocation employment agencies in Philadelphia. Several amusement clubs for young women have been established, and probation work among colored women in New York has been carried on. Eugene K. Jones, 43 East Twenty-second street, is the field secretary. PROF. BOAS, THE GREAT ANTH OPOLOGIST, AND SCIENTIST SAYS. GIVE THE COLORED MAN A CHANCE AND HE WILL MAKE A GOOD CITIZEN. MANY CUTRUN THE WHITES A contribution to the discussion of the negro problem in the United States, of quite extraordinary interest, is made by Prof. Franz Bos, the eminent American anthropologist, in "The Mind of Primitive Man." Not so much on humanitarian as on ethical and scientific grounds he defends the negro race, whose present social economic status is sufficiently explained by the forcible removal from African soil, the consequent complete loss of the old standards of life, the demoralization of slavery and the following period of disorganization and severe economic struggle against heavy odds. Professor Bos holds that there is no proof of the theory of the negro's hereditary inferiority. Give the colored man, says the anthropologist in effect, opportunity and he will fulfill the duties of citizenship as well as his white neighbor. Although he may not produce as many great men as his white race, and although the level of his average achievement may not quite reach that of the whites, there will be "endless numbers who will outrun their white competitors and who will do better than the defectives whom we permit to drag down and to retard the healthy children of our public schools." Whether the persistence of the pure negro type is practically impossible, as Prof. Boas believes, or whether the efforts in many southern states to prevent all racial intermixture will be black-matter little. even handed justic one to both races. BIBLE EMERGENCY MEN. The Christian Recorder Selects 'David and Joseph as Examples. The world owes much of its development to emergency men—men who fill the breach in times of danger or calamity. These men, with brave hearts and true courage, are the ones who often save an army or a state, says the Christian Recorder. Often these men who come to the front are unknown and would have been unheard of had no emergency arisen. Had things gone on smoothly the places of honor would have gone to the men of age, of long standing and experience. But when emergencies come and sons, nephews and cousins falter because they fear failure, with consequent disaster to their reputations, or because of other considerations fall to shoulder the burden, then it is that the emergency man comes forth. David was an emergency man. When the army of the Philistines shouted defence at the hosts of Israel and the mighty Goliath mocked at Israel's God where were Israel's great men? Where were the sons and nephews of King Saul and his great men? Where were the experienced generals, who had won victories on many battlefields? Why did they falter? Was it because they feared for their reputations? Was it because they feared for their families? Was it because they were cowards? Why was there none to fight Gollath? Yes, there was one Gollath raised up an emergency man. He was david. But who was David? A mere boy, an untrained warrior, with no reputation, no family, no responsibilities, and he had no haunts. David was a novice. But David compelled Gollath. This mere slip of a boy, unknown, untrained, with no noble associations, compelled Gollath. And God rewarded him. Joseph was another emergency man. He was a boy. He didn't run with the gang. He was a member of no clique. His brother despised him. The king threw him in prison. When Pharaoh's wise men and soothsayers could not interpret his dream God sent an emergency man. He was Joseph, and he was young and inexperienced. But when the wise, the experienced, the greatly honored failed. Joseph filled the breach. Did Pharaoh put Joseph back in prison after the emergency passed? No. Horthea Pharaoh was too fair, or was it that he was only too wise? The Bible and modern times furnish many examples of emergency men—men whom greater or less emergencies have brought to the front. It is for every man to so prepare himself in heart, love and mind, for he may be needed when the time comes. Origin of Carca.

Henry Lincoln Johnson Tells an Interpreting Story of What Happened at the New Famous Graves-Davis Trial in Atlanta—Weighty Testimony of Prominent Citizens. Atlanta, Ga.—The superior court of Fulton county, Ga., was recently the scene of the trial of the case brought by Odd Graves against Benjamin J. Davis. The fact that Mr. Davis is one of the most prominent Odd Fellows of the United States made the case one of national importance. Mr. Davis is at present the chief justice of the Odd Fellows' supreme court and editor of the Atlanta Independent. The case resulted in the complete vindication of Mr. Davis, as will be HON. HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON. seen from the following interview given out by Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson who was Mr. Davis' attorney: Very often in human experience, it happens that it is through evil that the highest good is evolved. We see through our glasses dimly at times, but if we possess our souls in patience, relying upon truth and upward guidance, if our souls right and our cause is just, righteousness will eventually triumph, and the truth will make us free. So it happened in the recent prosecution in the courts of a pretended act of wrongdoing against B. J. Davis, the great Old Fellow and the well balanced and courageous The superior court of Fulton county was crowded when the case brought by A. Graves against B. J. Davis was sounded for trial and entered upon. Through some unkindly newses both at home and abroad and of this indictment against B. J. Davis was heralded to the four corners of the earth in order that his hand might be stilled and stayed. Evil disposition and malignant purpose had done its work to take the insecurity of our civilization, there are courts of justice where cases are tried and their truth and facts, not supposition and slander, will make or unmake the accused. after the prosecution had offered the treason of its witnesses, even to them, and fell in order that the truth, and whole truth, could be known, a few additional truths were called, and before B. J. Davis called on at all to give up his claim for want of proof, and the judge in the court of the prosecuting attorney directed the jury to return a verdict of acquittal. Before it was waited, however, scores of the guilty and innocent were brought to the leading merchant and laborer and department white ministers of the state, and to a man they will tell that they had known D. J. Davis that they had known the best. Aided to the witness testimony of the leading ministers of the state taken from various views of life, his most prominent lawyers its most widely known political leaders its most prosperous and snowy lands its devout and poors control. Now, it often happens to a man that such a salting of the brightest products of civilization in a state should so unanimously in town court and under oath sings but one song and tells but one story—that this much presented man was good honest man. Among the white people of Georgia no man since brighter among its citizens than Hon. I. Z. Rosses, the magnificent lawyer; than George Muse, the Christian man than prince; than Hon. M. J. Tooman of Warwick, one of the prominent of the Army of southland; than Hon. Obadiah Stephens, of unstaffed railroad commissary of the state. Of the best blood and the bright civilization of the southland it has more positive an expanse than in Henry S. Jackson. Among the people in Georgia, the best man in Georgia and Burgess, no more widely known and accomplished than the Pens and A. D. Davis, among the miserable none whose life is so clearly plaus and distinguished than Dw. E. C. Carter. These are the prized men who were paid to the good character of B. J. Lewis. I have never seen such high happening in a courthouse during many years of experience therein and in this public way. To the many whom I know I desire to indicate this thought—that be whose life is right, whose mind and energy is right, whose spirit and the spirit of his state and country, as is characteristic of B. J. Davis, need have no fear of those who would persecute. U. S. Commissioner of Labor Discusses Subject in His Annual Report. DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED SEVERAL INSTITUTIONS HAVE MADE NATIONAL REPUTATION AND ARE PLAYING IMPORTANT PART IN RACE ADJUSTMENT. Washington. D. G.—The United States commissioner of labor, in his annual report on industrial education, just issued, devotes considerable space to the negro industrial schools throughout the country. Speaking of industrial education among negroes generally, he says: "Industrial schools for negroes are almost invariably philanthropic enterprises, and their work is usually hampered by insufficient funds. They have also had to face special difficulties owing to the fact that apprenticeships are practically never open to colored workers and hence their students must receive all their preliminary training before leaving school. "The difficulty regards in finding in a skilled trade, unless it is one to which they can work independently or as separate groups, limits the scope of their work, and owing to the deficient education of a portion of their students much of their instruction must be elementary. As a further difficulty they have had to counteract the prejudices of their own race who have been inclined to look upon clerical, commercial and professional callings as the only ones which could be considered by the ambitious. "In spite of all these difficulties the negro schools have done good work. Several have won for themselves a national reputation and are playing an important part in the adjustment of the race to the new conditions in which emancipation has played them." The report also devotes several pages to both Tuskegee and Hampton schools and a number of other negro industrial schools throughout the country, including Snork Hill Normal and Industrial school at Snow Hill, Ala., Berean Manual Training and Industrial school at Philadelphia, Watchman Industrial school at Providence, R. I., Alcorn Agricultural and Mechanical college at Alcorn, Miss., State Agricultural and Mechanical college at Normal, Ala., Claflin university at Orangeburg, S. C., and other similar institutions. Four pages of the report are devoted to Armstrong Manual Training school of this city, of which Dr. W. B. Evans is principal. In speaking of this school the commissioner of labor says: "It is said that graduates from the trade courses of this school are able to hold their own in their respective trades as finished workmen." SCHOOL VISITOR ISSUES CALL An appeal to the Xero race in behalf of our boys and girls with the New Year coming in. Let us make new resolution for the future to better our conditions in all lines of business. The day has dawned in our behalf, and let us come together and grasp an opportunity while it presents itself, and open business enterprises into which we can employ our boys and girls and give them something so when they have finished their education they will have a place to go, like all other races. The race problem we must solve on our behalf and we solve it by saying we can do it. Let us come together in God's name and consolidate ourselves together and so it we can look farther into the future and demand our rights as a race. We have both too well satisfied at the other; and expiring at the other;ellow because we are looking after the welfare of the race. Let us use aside all justice and jealousy and our ownness. We should have in all public buildings and schools, our boys and girls each clocks and teachers, but we can only blame ours for the present conditions. Our girls and boys have never had an opportunity to do doors have been closed against them. I appeal be careful to educate themselves sq when we appeal in their behalf it cannot be said there is none qualified to hold positions offered them. We must remember that the Lofi is still ruler and we must trust Him and so go forward and I am sure we will conquer. My life's success in business has been gained by trusting in him, and at the end of the next four years I must and will accomplish something for my people. I want the heart support of all the lovel colored citizens. I will begin the first Friday in the New Year to lay my plaqs and I want every good thinking man to come to help us. A meeting will be called at 5 p.m. on Friday, January 5, 1947, at 20:55 Wylie avenue, W. H. Thompson. For the Teacher. In teaching reading there are just two ends to be taught: (1) To make the learner automatic and quick in the recognition of word and letter forms and values; (2) to secure his interest in the content, the spiritual element of the printed forms COLORED EDITORS ISSUE STATEMENTS Western Negro Press Association Takes Aggressive Stand For Rights of Race. Following is the address to the country in full as adopted by the Western Negro Press association at its recent annual meeting held in Topeka, Kan.: We, the members of the Western Negro Press association, in convention assembled, acknowledge our thanks to the Supreme Ruler of the universe for the blessings which have come to the convention members individually and collectively, to the race presents and all mankind. With these presents come our greetings to the country at large. We would appeal to the bar of public opinion and ask that discriminations based upon color shall be at an end. We do this believing that the fundamentals of American jurisprudence, the tenderness of our present day civil law, that the nature of our worth shall count and that nothing shall stand between the worthy and the rewards of his labors. This is done with the involved purpose of making better, the standard of American manhood and cultivating that spirit of interdependence of thought and activity, the need of education and the growth in greatness and her perpetuity is more completely assured when every man counts for one and nobody for more than one. That righteousness which exhorteth a nation should and must be more clearly demonstrated in American law, with faith in the justice of our cause we would ask that disfranchisement and discrimination because of color and anything that savors of unfairness before the law shall cease. We believe that there is enough fairness in the American republic to finally secure this result. We would adore and denounce lawlessness, crime, indolence and prodigality in any race and are not unmindful of the fact that these exist among the white race as well as the Negro race. We would urge upon them a higher conception of duty to family and they save money, purchase homes, become property owners and tillers of the soil. To the farm, where are unlimited opportunities, we would advise them to go. The tillers of the soil have ever been the sturdy yummy, the foundation of society and the forerunners of a powerful commercialism which has moved the world. We argue earnestly for education both high and industrial and believe, in the preparation of our youth to fill every avenue open to the citizens of a republic. The members of the Western Negro Press association pledge themselves to stand for the highest in journalism and for the propagation of all things uplifting and inspiring. We ask members of all professions, activities and varied employments to join in the progressive approach better and stronger the race of which we are a part and prove our right to all the guarantee of our federal constitution by a wise and faithful performance of the duties therein imposed.

Doctor Vernon came to Jacksonville upon the invitation of the Pastorin council of the East Florida conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church, whose president is Rev. R. T Gordon, D. D., and whose secretary is Rev. R. L. Brown. Members of this ministerial organization were present showing a commendable interest it all that was done and said. The rostrum, was occupied by the speaker, Doctor Attaway, president of the Edward Waters college; Doctor Gordon, Dr. R. B. Brooker, Dr. C. H. Eoger, Dr. J. E. Ford, the new representative, and many other persons of prominence. After appropriate introductory remarks, in which Doctor Gordon told his peculiar experience in bringing to the city the man whose name has been on the tongues of many for the past several weeks, and of how he met this distinguished man while on his vacation last summer, and secured from him an engagement to come to the city of Jacksonville and address the people of this city. Doctor Vernon, in personal appearance, vividly reminds one of the lamented Dr. J. C. Price of North Carolina. Of all other things, he is an agreeable speaker. Discarding manuscript, he came before his audience to speak out of the abundance of his experience. Doctor Vernon spoke wholly on matters that are of prime concern to his race of people. He is no pessimist, painting heaven and earth with all sorts of ugly things, and seaming life's highway all over with the gorge of despondency. The speaker would have his people to know that their's is not unlike the course of all races of mankind that have amounted to anything in this world. To sustain this he traced, with a wonderful faithfulness to real history, man's progress from primeval times. Especially did he deduce the evolution of human freedom, specifying Runemede, Magna Charter, the Declaration of Independence and the Emancipation proclamation. The strange shufflings of civilization, the tortuous course of strivings after the highest, the best, and that which is most enduring, formed no small part of this address, which was frequently unnuncted with applause. In referring to his race in this country, it was thrilling, the manner in which he told of their having been the burden-bearers both in war and peace; how at Yorktown black men stood at order arms in Washington's army, while Cornwallis surrendered to the great American general, and how nearly one hundred years after black men stood and died for the Union and their freedom. Inauspicious from Jamestown to the dawns of the better day, the race has found that its greatest need is simply to be left alone. Never traitors in any war in which they took part, never tried on impeachment charges while lawmakers in the halls of congress, and ever loyal to home, after allowed to know really what that word meant. The speaker paid a golden tribute to the church and Christian education, cliting the many benefits accruing from these two agencies. His tribute to the fathers of human freedom was truly transporting, individualizing the lamented Frederick Douglas. This powerful lecture found its closing in an appeal to the youths, clenching all that had been said with a masterly appeal to the young to take up what those who have done so well without the advantages of present day methods. He held up the direful consequences of the boys who live in the streets and have lodging places at home; to girls who do not learn that there is golden opportunity, often, in rags. The speaker, as he approached the conclusion of his discourse, saliently pointed out what struck all as so many places of danger. In doing this he declared that there is no race problem, but there is a human problem. Adjustment, so as to be of actual value, in the solution of this, was another strong point. The relation of duty and rights was vividly brought out, and the conclusion was reached in a broad vein of patriotism that swayed the audience with a captivation as complete as if a religious tidal wave had been set in motion by some of the famous revivalists. Doctor Vernon sat down amid a storm of applause. All were pleased to the point of being jubilant. Hundreds came forward and shook the hand of the speaker fervently. Cat's Advantage. The following composition was written by a ten-year-old nephew of Josh Billings, when the teacher gave him "Dogs and Cats" for a subject: "Dogs and kats always file it either when the kit a chance; but a dorat isn't match for a kat, because a kat klm make her tall biggern a ball club and run up a tree whil a dogs gittin riddy." A-Physician's Answer. A patient once asked her physician why his mustache was black and his hair was gray. "Why," he replied, "my mustache is twenty years younger than the hair on my dead." FIVE CENTS A COPY PLEA FOR CLOSER UNION OF FORCES Broad Minded Minister Gives Timely Advice to the Race. WORK FOR THE UNFORTUNATE Much Interest Has Been Aroused by Progressive Afro-Americans In Wil- mington Favoring Cooperation With the 'Red Cross Society—Dr. W. H. Moore Pledge Loyal Support. BY GEORGE FRANCIS LING Wilmington, N. C.—There is a growing interest in this section of the south to conserve movements for the good of humanity, and the better element among the Afro-Americans is quite conspicuous in giving impetus to commendable activities. A nagable work that is an essential factor in alleviating the suffering of the lowly element of both races in this city is the Red Cross society. This organization is encouraged by the progressive Afro-Americans. Foremost among them is a cuet, unassuming, but progressive minister in the person of Dr. W. H. Moore, pastor of Shiloh Baptist church. He is identified with many organizations which are directing the Negro's activities into avenues of higher usefulness. He believes that our people can become a desirable element in any organized body which has for its object the proper development of the masses. "I believe that as a race we should register the fact that we are not aliens to anything that meets the approbation of good citizens. The Red Cross society is doing a good work among us, and it is a concrete index to the fact that we must become more public spirited for our good. "We need in this city many other movements that will reach the element of our race that is left to evil tendencies. What we need is a movement that will reach the class of our young people who have not had the proper kind of environment. There is an encouraging spirit on the part of our leading colored men and women of this state to work for the unfortunate of our young people, such as the reformatory for the youth of the race, which is now, the cynosure for, those interested in saving the young. "This organization will prevent hundreds of the youthful incorrigibles from becoming associates of hardened criminals, and hundreds of this class of boys who are sent to the road will become inspired by the principles of the institution in which they will be trained and will live useful lives. I will contribute all that I am capable of giving to any movement that will help us and the community in which I resident," said Dr. Moore when he was asked by a representative of the press what was the inclination of the Afro-American folk in North Carolina toward any effort for charitable purposes. Dr. Moore is highly esteemed by citizens of both races in this state. He is an optimist and believes in the great possibilities of the Negro becoming a worldwide factor in the advancement of Christian civilization. He is an admirer of young men who are interested in themselves to the extent that they will sacrifice much to make material advancement. After receiving his literary training he did pedagogic work in Pender county, this state, and later accepted the principalship of the graded school abConway, B. C. During the period that he was reaching the lives of hundreds of boys and girls of his race he felt divinely called to the ministry. In 1895 he was ordained and became a power for the advancing of the cause for which he had been especially prepared. He soon became one of the leading ministers in the Middle District Baptist association: Crummall School on Historic Spot. The site on which stands the Alexander Crummall school in Washington once belonged to Notley Young. He was one of the five original proprietors of the tract which now includes the District of Columbia. Robert Breast, who married the daughter of the first mayor of Washington over a century ago, had his mansion, Brentwood, on this site. The house is still in an excellent state of preservation. ———— BRADDOCE;, PA. «By Mary C. Hamilton.) Bell Phone 201-R. ¥. and A.

I have the exclusive right to that name; and I, alone, know the secret of the composition that bears that name. From its use in my treatment hundreds have received direct benefit. Our claim has always been that when the hair begins to grow as the result of the use of “Poro” it ‘vill continue to so if only this the hair and scalp is kept clean. Many persons are constantly finding that is true. You cannot afford, by using meve imitations. to risk not attaining the result fou desire. ‘Be sue that the name “Poro” is om every box; mot genuine without it. If your hair is dry, harsh, brittle and falling out—use “Poro.” It stops the failing and starts sthe hair to growing at once. ; 3100 Pine Street, Pittsburg Office 2 89 Frankstown Ave. St. Louis, Mo.

As far as her eyes could see there was wintry whiteness and through the purple shadows of the coming night she a few lights, like stars. Each light represented a farmhouse, and each house, like the one in which Nell was staying, was full of happy, noisy people. 6 And Nell was not happy, she wanted quiet. Like a hunted animal she looked this way and that for some place The Snow Began to Fall. The Snow Began mal she looked this way and that to Fall. for some place where she might be alone. On the crest of a hill, far up the road, stood the schoolhouse where she taught. It was closed now and dark. "I will go there," Nell said to herself, and just then a voice behind her called: "Supper is ready." "I don't want any," Nell said wearily. "I'm going out for a little while, Mrs. McGregor. I'll be back by ten." The snow began to fall softly as she left the house, and by the time she reached the school it was beginning to drift against the fennes. There was no fire within, but Nell lighted one, and when the warmth began to steal into the room, she drew the one big chair close to the hearth and in the peaceful oneliness gave herself up to her thoughts. But she was not to remain in peace long. There was a sound of sleigh-bells without, heavy steps on the threshold, and she looked up to see the burly form of a young farmer in the doorway. "Well, well," he said, "I saw the light and came in. Who would have dreamed that you would be here alone?" Nell smiled wryly. "I came to be quiet." "Then you don't want me." "Oh, sit down," she said, somewhat ungraciously. But he stood by the fireplace and looked down at her. "What's the matter?" he asked abruptly. "Nothing," faintly. "Don't tell me that; I know better." "I if I tell you," she asked, "you mustn't give me any advice. I have had so much advice I hate it." He sat down beside her. "Tell ahead," he said, "and I'll promise to listen like the Sphinx." "You see, it is 'my uncle in town miserly old man, and he made me miserable when I lived with him. I'm not going to tell you about my childhood, how little love there was in it, and how I was starved spiritually and mentally, as well as physically. When I grew old enough to understand that he could give me things, and had not because he wanted to save and save I left him andcia me here to teach; and now he has written to me to come back, and I don't want "What's the Mat- he has written to me to come back. and I don't want to go, yet he is sick and old and alone. I told Mrs. McGregor and she tells me to stay here. Then all the family talked about it and every- body advised. They meant well—but I couldn't stand it, I—I don't want to go, but I must." He started to say something, then checked himself. "I'd like to break that promise," he said. "No, you mustn't." she said firmly. "You've all been so good to me here, and if you," she caught her breath. "Join the others in asking me to stay, it will make it, so hard for me to go." Harvesting tomatoes at Christmas time is a novel industry that keeps 35 men busy at North Wales. The tomatoes are growing on a four acre tract, all of which is under a monster greenhouse, the largest in the world. Some years are a company that made a speciality of raising American Beauty roses put up a greenhouse 150 feet wide, 555 feet long and 520 feet high on its grounds in North Wales and 45,000 plants were grown in the great greenhouse. The profits were no satisfactory that abothed greenhouse "He doesn't deserve much at your hands," the man stated. "I know," she said wearily, "but to-morrow I begin a new year, and I don't want to begin it wrong, yet I don't know the right." "I don't believe much in saying things," the young farmer remarked. "my policy is to do them. And now are you going to stay here in this lonely place much longer? It is snowing and it is late." "I suppose I ought to go," she said doubtfully, "but it is so lovely here in the silence." "Look here," he said suddenly, "don't you keep your tea things in that little cupboard? I have got to go to town, and when I come back I'll bring something for a little supper, and we can watch the old year out. Then I'll take you home in the sleigh." "How good of you." She held out her hand to him. "You haven't bothered me with advice, and you are doing something to make me comfortable. That is just like you, Jack Norton." He blushed a little, this big kindly man, who looked upon the little woman from the city as a being from another sphere; she was so dainty, so different from the girls in his own village. THE STREET CAFE Nell knew what she was doing when she told him not to ask her to stay; she had known for a long time of the question that trembled on his lips. She knew he wanted to marry her, as a woman knows who is wise in the ways of men. She thought of the life she might lead if she married him, a life in the big farmhouse, sun- "Are You Going lead if she married Back With Me?" him, a life in the big farmhouse, sunshiny in summer and secure in winter. Then she thought of her life with her uncle in a dark apartment in the streets of the city. She knew that, in a way, it was a false idea of duty that would take her back. Yet she had to go, some force that was in her seemed impelling. The wind blew in great blasts against the little house, the snow had drifted up to the window sills, and whife lines of it pointed across the window pane like ghostly fingers. Dragging footsteps came up the path. Nell listened. It was not Jack Norton; these were the steps of an old man. From the door a voice quavered: "Are you there, Nell?" "Uncle," she said, fearfully, "how did you come here?" "I met a young man down the road," he said. "I wanted him to guide me to the McGregors. He told me you were here. "You didn't answer my letter," the old man went on, when she had made him sit down. "Are you going back with me?" Now that she was face to face with his meanness, it seemed to Nell that she could never go with him. "I don't know," she faltered. "Here's a grateful girl," the old man stormed, and just then the sleighbells jingled and, in another moment Jack Norton was in the room, his arms full of bundles, his eyes beaming. "So this is your uncle," he said. "I thought so when I directed him here. You'll stay and have supper with us, won't you, sir? We are going to see the old year out and the new year in." "Who are you?" the old man growled. "I? Jack's eyes flashed from Nell's cowering figure to the grimness of the uncle. Then suddenly he took things in his own hands. "I'm the man your niece is going to marry," he said. "What?" the old man shouted. "I'm the man your niece is going to marry," he said securely. He had seen the joy in Neil's face. "But she is going home with me." Jack shook his head. "No, she is going home with me. You can come whenever you wish, sir. The old house is big enough for twenty arcles, or if you like it better, there is a cottage at the edge of the farm where you could stay if you wish." "I'm the Man She The old man flashed a crafty glance at him. "Would it cost me anything?" he asked. "Nothing," said Jack. "Then marry her," said the old uncle, "and I'll come and live in the cottage alone." Nell's face was in her hands, and as Jack tent over her, she whispered, "Oh, I can't let you do it." her, she whispered. Is Going to "Oh, I can't let you do it!" Marry." "It is the only way that you can make my New Year happy." he told her, and as she looked up into his face she knew that, what he said was true. of the same height and width, but 700 feet long, was built. As it was not completed in time for last year's planting of roses the owners raise tomato sins in it. Apparently the returns were even greater than those from rose. For this year tomato plants were again planted. There is virtually a big truck farm under glass, and 50,000 tomato plants are now producing fruit, which is sold at high prices in the big cities. Elsewhere on this tract 55,000 carnation plants are now in bloom. THE WORLD'S FINEST FASHION THE WORLD'S FINEST FASHION THE COURIER. Pretty There is no end to the variety in shapes and styles designed for children this season. Taking their cue from the liking for bonnets shown by grown-ups, designers have copied nearly all the shapes, modifying them more or less for little folks. This branch of millinery—millinery for children—has shown a wonderful development in the past three years. This is the result of specializing, on the part of designers and trimmers, who showed a marked talent for making children's hats. The bonnet shown, made of alternating folds of beaver cloth and plaid velvet, is modeled on the Dutch cap, with the crown extended. It is distinctly childish. The ribbon ties and bow at the side are of plaid, corre- So Great the Expenditure for Clothes That Little Is Left to Be Employed Elsewhere. The cost of dress, the absurd lengths to which expenditure goes on luxurious and sumptuous clothing, is now pushed to such an extreme that a woman's fortune, like that of a savage beauty, may often be seen on her person, and there is no margin left for entertaining, for all that makes social intercourse delightful. Three years ago it was said by a senator's wife that only the very rich could now give dinner parties at all, and that for modest fortunes entertaining in any form, except the mild dissipation of afternoon tea and cakes was out of the question. What, it may be asked, is the use of all this amazing expenditure on finery, if the furs and trinkets, the hats and robes are not to be exhibited on festive occasions to friends and admirers? A woman may be dressed to perfection from head to foot, but if no one is to see it, and sociability goes by the board, in the effort to be beautiful, to what end has she made all this effort? The matter is grotesque, and why her men folk do not put a stop to it is food for wonder. You might as well, if you were a child, have a doll which is attired in such costly and sumptuous fashion that you can never take it out of its cupboard, nor afford to ask your little friends to tea to look at it. There is no doubt that in France, where the love of dress originates, and where our woman first fall a victim to this ever for clothes, they worship to the point of absurdity the well-dressed woman. BOOTS TO MATCH THE GOWN Costume and Footgear Must Be of the Same Material—Shoes for Dancing. "How much do I require for a pair of boots?" is the question which the smart woman may have to ask next time she is buying material for a new frock. A representative was informed at a leading house the other day that the latest fashion from Paris decrees that costume and footgear must be made of the same material. Thus a striped tweed will necessitate a pair of boots of the same tweed, and a blue serge will be worn with blue serge boots. The representative was told that it was usual to have the entire boot made of the dress material, but it was permissible to have the fashion carried out only in the uppers. "The boots are very comfortable to Blouses made of thin fabrics often look untidy and unfinished at the back, owing to the difficulty in concealing the sewing on of the hooks or buttons. A near way to do this is to stitch on a small box plait after the hooks have been sewed on, or the sewing will have plait through can be covered over with lace, a band of embroidery or any suitable trimming. When it is the placket hole that is hanging loosely, and in the case of a fragrant fabric, it seems likely to tear, sew a hook and eye as for down each side as possible and press the hook together to keep it from coming unfastened. This will hold the ends of the placket hole together and prevent any chance of their dragging and tearing. Due dat Roses Artistically. Faded artificial flowers are well worth wearing if made to look the new by the following plant: Buy a vacker of one of the many cheap dyes in the desired shade. Prepare it and cut it with white muslin to be sure it is the right shade, and then, after sponding to the velvet, and the design is bright and attractive. This little bonnet is comfortable, protecting the head from cold and has the additional virtue of being inexpensive. A little Napoleon shape made of plain velvet is faced with shirred chiffon at the front and trimmed with a rosette of this soft material placed at each side of the crown. The brim droops at the back over the hair. This is a beautiful and comfortable model upon which it would be hard to improve in any way. It is more dressy than the bonnet of plaid and cloth and may be worn with or without ties of chiffon. An elastic band fastens it to the head in either case. wear," it was stated, "and they make the feet look much smaller, as no prominence is given them when they are clothed in the same material as the skirt. "In the matter of house and evening shoes the rule is not stringent. Patent shoes are being worn a good deal, and so are satin laced-trimmed shoes. "Gilt and silver kid shoes will be very popular for dancing."—Chicago Inter Ocean. D Of orchid mauve charmeuse. The corsage is of gold meshed lace, caught in by a swathing of pansy velvet. In Realm of Neckwear. One-sided effects still hold sway in the realm of neckwear. A central strip of lace, tucked material or embroidery is flanked on one side-by an immense frill. Beading, eyelet embroidery, lace heavy and fine may be used at the line of junction, and ball fringe has made its appearance on some novelties. Gunmetal for Mourning Gunmetal chain bags are being featured for mourning use, and they solve nicely the problem of what to select as a Christmas gift for one who is dressing in black. brushing and shaking the flowers free from dust, dip the beads into the dye, lift out and rinse in cold water. Then, if they are flowers with centers of a deeper shade, such as roses, mix a small quantity of the dye in a thicker consistency, so that it is a few shades darker, and paint the middle petals only very lightly with a paint brush dipped in this, after the first coating lies dried. The stalks and leaves should be painted all over with gum. Muff Cords Again. Some years ago it was the fashion to wear the muff hung from the neck by a cord, ribbon or chain. It is likely that this fad will return. This muff suspended from the shoulder by a thick tasseled silken cord is the latest novelty at the furriers. Carried in this fashion the muff suggests one of the enormous aumoniere hats which were the fad of the moment a season ago. When worn with an evening wrap the muff, made en suite with the cloak, is suspended from the wrist by platted satin ribbons.

Auto: |mobile races have killed many people and injuréa many. |: Im these days races through the alt !are quite common, for men have tray | eted hundreds &f miles in balloons or fying machines yerbaps passing over ‘mountains or other dangerous places or landing in some lonely district and having difficulty In -returning home. Some men will do almost anything for money or for’the sake of having people talk about them, but If ayked Ho make a. sucsilce, for Jesus, they | will quickly refuse. “Long things for self, but nothing for him who gave bis life for them. | You may: wonder why men should xet so reckless, for they seem to get wild to have an evil spirit to control them. 2 ‘Ghis remigés me of a runaway horse or cattle in a stampede: for Satan Fries to put this wild spirit in every living creature, knowing that It is a sure way togruin them for time and eternity. : The Lord: zives his children rest of soul, thut is, takes out this.wild, reck- less, restless spirit and nature, for he rakes them happy aud contented by satisfying the longings of the heart. ‘A person may win a race, but he is not satisfied, for nothing earthly can give satisfaction.

To fail is to reap everlasting punishment, to succeed is to enjoy eternal lite and bliss: "i ‘A runner cannot run if he be loaded with weights nor can a horse #rot fast if he is hitched to a heavy wagon, neither can pergons travel to heaven with weights welghing-him down, for if he tells les, steals or breaks the Sabbath and bears malice for his neighbor, he Is not running on the way to eternal life. Sins are also compared to a heavy rope which binds a man and will sure= 3y. pull kim down to destruction. A drunkard cannot run rapidly for about all he can do is to stagger. The Bible says: “No drunkard can inherit thé Kingdom of God,” which shows it Is Impossible for such @ one tg run a spiritual race.

WAS HISTORIC OLD BUILDING Mint at Philadelphia Was the First Building Erected by Authority of Congress. In removing the foundations of the colonnage building of the old mint, at Nos. 37 and 39 North Seventh street, some quaint specimens of oldtime building construction, including several curious vaults, were uncovered. The cellar in which the vaults were located was reached by heavy stone steps, supported by brick or stone arches, a method handed down from medieval times. One of the vaults in which builton was stored consisted of a vault within a vault, and was designed, it is said, at the time of the war of 1812 to conceal materials which could not be readily transported to other hiding places. Several small windows in the cellar were protected by heavy hand-wrought iron bars. These have been preserved, and will be added, along with other relics, such as locks and hinges, to the collection in Independence hall. In digging out an old well in the yard a number of copper coins, bearing the dates 1816 and 1818, were found, as well as a quantity of scrap copper from which the coins had been cut. From old papers relating to a lawsuit, found by Frank H. Stewart, president of the company which owns the property, it was ascertained that two buildings were originally included in the old mint, all of them grouped around the colonnage building. It is an historic fact that this old structure, which was the last of these buildings to be razed, was the first building of any description erected by authority of the United States congress.—Philadelphia Record.

This is it season of the year when for several years it has been my privi- lege to call the attention of our peo- ple to the importance of improving the facilities for public school educa- tion, in the education of the passes on civilization in the small As I hope you before, I think a very small percentage of the children of our country will be able to carry their own school. We are not in a position to send them to school. We are not in a position to send them to school. We are not in a position to send them to school. 7 The school object to calling attention to this matter is its importance to the business meant to author and serve with the importance of the good, conductable, well far- reached conditions in every community. You will not not apologize much in the way of education, no matter. If you need a teacher may be secured from a well comfortable school in many cases, especially in Galway, where the schoolships pro- vided in the education of the稚 public are disregarded. In some they may not be for an adult to enter it is to be in the position more familiar and practical to compel their schools to authorize them to be schoolled for the children to learn The king that I serve upon good community is that they make in their cars this tool and winter in pro- viding a good, comfortable school- house. Every person will contrib- ure a small amount in the way of payment or hire or lose kind of farm work within a few months in good formal schoolhouse can be built and furnished in every community in which any people live. Good school work will remain in the future good work and a second term lasting the months in the year. If the who read this communication have already good schoolhouse of the community, it certainly be- come necessary to build the school garden to fit it in. It also helps to save money at the second school. It is much known a way be- come that this has been provided to the people of the book of good work. No matter how inclusive of collapse may only cause should not get into an accident or suffer complete failure to grow properly. Wherever we are in position of cause, the public school must therefore should be asked to provide a diet in accordance. Where it is not possible to obtain a suitable diet, the age of children, the people should be given appropriate and exact foodie device that meets the needs of pupils and teachers. In regard to the cities and small towns in the south, thousands of children are suffering for education because there are not enough schoolchildren in the south to properly seat all possible for the negro children. Where this is true, our leaders should not fear their and forman- In schools and bring them before the public school authorities. They should continue to urge their needs, with school buses are provided for our people. I have noted that in some of the public nearly one-half of the co-operative schools are of school origin. In connection with what I have read in this book, we have a race in mind that one half of the children in the south do not attend any school at all. Unless these conditions are speedily changed, our race in this and succeeding generations will be greatly handicapped by ignorance. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Tuskegee Institute, Alabama.

He will not see the dawn of day, He heath no other life above. He gave me a friend and a true true love, And the New Year will take 'em away. Old year, you must not go; So long as you have been with us, Such joy as you have seen with us, Old year, you shall not go. He froth'd his bumpers to the brim. A jollier year we shall not see. But tho' his eyes are waxing dim. And tho' his foes speak ill of him. He was a friend to me. Old year, you shall not die; We did so laugh and cry with you. I've half a mind to die with you, Old year, if you must die. He was, full of joke and jest, But all his merry quips are, o'er. To see him die, across the waste His son and heir doth ride post-haste. But he'll be dead before. Every one for his own. The night is starry and cold my friend, And the New Year blithe and bold, my friend, Comes up to take his own. How hard he breathes! Over the snow I heard just now the crowing cock. The shadows flicker to and fro. The cricket chirps: the light burns low. Tis nearly twelve o'clock. Shake hands, before you die. Old year, we'll dearly rue for you. What is it we can do for you? Speak out before you die. His face is growing sharp and thin. Alach! our friend is gone. Close up his eyes; tie up his chin. Step from the corpse, and let him in That standeth there alone, And waiteth at the door. There's a new foot on the floor, my friend, And a new face at the door, my friend, A new face at the door. Tennyson Pin These Up Resolved—That I will not air my troubles; it only puffs them up and makes them look bigger. That I will not say mean things—for the person who says a mean thing is capable of doing one. That I will not complain that the world is growing worse, when I am doing little or nothing to make it better. That I will not borrow where I see no means of repaying—for he who doeth this fracturethe eighth commandment. That I will sit down on all my bad habit—but not as though I suspected the presence of an inverted tuck thereon. That I will not let the grass grow under my feet—and on the other hand. I will avoid that swiftness which can result to grow prematurely over each other. That I will not criticise others—for criticism of others is only a negative form of self-conceit. Instead, I will cultivate forbearance until my heart yields a rich crop thereof. That I will instate down this "new leaf" with the strong clip of determination, so that the winds of Weakness and Temptation shall not blow it back. The Message of the Deals The metal tongue of the big bell rings out many changes to our modern ears. In many parts of England the bell which tolls the old year out is called the "Old Lad's Passing bell." In western England the beils peal marryly on "Oak Apple Day," to celebrate the escape of Charles at Boscobel. Another bell rings at the beginning of Lent, is known as "Pancake Bell," because, in old time phrase, it "summons people away from their pancakes to confession and fasting." A lively peal of beils is often rung at the end of the Sunday morning service, and is called "Pudding Bell." Perhaps its purpose is to announce to the stay-at-homes that service is over and that the pudding may come out of the oven. Every night at 9:05 "Great Tom," the great bell of Christ Church college at Oxford, booms out its ponderous note 10 times. This particular number was chosen in accordance with the number of students at the foundation of the college. A Healthy and Wise New Year "Resolution No. 1—I will try to become more intelligent concerning my body," says Dr. Jean Williams in Woman's Home Companion for January, "looking with greater respect upon my physical resources and trying to realize more fully that upon them the force and success of my life largely depend. "Resolution No. 2—I will arrange it possible, to supply sufficient pure air for every breath I take, thus better to combat every source of disease that might attack me, to improve my chance for long life and to increase my efficiency. "Resolution No. 3—I will be kinder to my digestive organs, avoiding all excess and not asking them to struggle with food for which they have repeatedly shown antagonism. "Resolution No. 4—I will treat my brain and nervous system with greater consideration, and 50 hours of each week shall be devoted to sleep. Resolution No. 5—I will try to do in eight hours as much hard work as I should do in one day. Resolution No. 6—I will devote at least two of the 24 hours to such exercise as I find most beneficial.
