THIS PAPER IS NOW READ BY 10,000 COLORED PEOPLE WEEKLY THE PITTSBURGH COURIER. PHILADELPHIA NEGRO A SCHOOL INSPECTOR VOL. III. NO. 11. Dr. J. P. Turner Is Well Qualified To Fill His New Post. Gets Endorsements. HAS SERVED IN MANY FIELDS BY WHITTIER HOWARD WRIGHT, Philadelphia—Dr. Joseph S. Neff, director of public health and charities, has recently appointed Dr. John P. Turner as one of the fifty-five permanent medical inspectors of the city public schools. Dr. Turner was the only successful candidate of the four Afro-American physicians who took the examination and one of the seventy-two who passed successfully of the 168 who took the competitive examination. This is the first instance in the history of Phijadelphia that an Afro- DR. JOHN P. TURNER. American has been appointed to a like position. Dr. Turner entered upon the duties of his office on Wednesday, Feb. 21. Coming to Philadelphia almost an entire stranger, Dr. Turner has won the confidence of the entire community. In the social circles of the city he is favorably received. He is congenial, and by his Christianity bearing he has won a warmspot in the hearts of the people. Dr. Turner measures up to every requirement of his appointment, and it was but a testimonial to his fitness that he was selected. He is young, 'tis true, but most thoroughly capable for the work intrusted to his hands. After completing his preliminary training in the public schools of New York Dr. Turner graduated from the classical department of the College of the City of New York. He is also a graduate in medicine from the Shaw university, class of 1806. He came to this city the same year and became house physician at the Frederick Douglass hospital, in which position he rendered splendid service for fourteen months. Among the indorsements received for the position were included not only the leading Afro-American citizens and institutions, but personal indorsements from white citizens as well, such as Dr. J. M. Baily, president of the state board of medical examiners; Dr. Morse-Borth Miller, professor of surgery at the Polyphil hospital; Dr. Robert N. Willeman, professor internal medicine, University of Pennsylvania; Dr. Theodore A. Eck, professor of gynecology of Grynecosis hospital, and Dr. Leyton F. Appleman. Among the Afro-American indorsements; B. G. Colter, grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Pennsylvania, representing upward of 5,000; board of directors of the Keystone Aid society, staff of physicians of the Douglass hospital, the Professional club, composed of Afro-American lawyers, doctors, dentists and others, the Philadelphia Academy of Medicine and Allied Sciences. Following is also a position which was presented to Dr. Norf by a committee of Afro-American citizens, which is regarded as much to do with the appointment of Dr. Turner as any other known agency; Dr. Joseph Norf, Director of Public Health and Charities, Philadelphia; Health and Charities, Philadelphia? The纵贯 associations hereafter mentioned have learned of the provisional appointments of fifty-five medical inspectors of public schools and. Whereas, We note with regret the absence of any members of the Neuro Council. Whereas, We notice that practically all other races in our city are included in the list; it was Reasonable to take a training of colored citizens recently well. That a petition be addressed to you asking the reason why so large a constituency of the body politic has been ignored. Perhaps the failure to appoint has been in part due to your part and will be rectified in the final appointments of medical inspectors which are to be made. We, your petitioners, feeling aggrieved over your seeming neglect to recognize competent physicians, will be pleased to give you this matter your immediate attention. B. F. Lee Jr., Dr. T. S. Burwell, president Professional club, Dr. R. W. Henry, vice president Philadelphia, Dr. W. Spencer, president Philadelphia, president For Equalizing, Industrial Opportunities For Negroes, and League of oreral and Civic Reform; Rev. W. Spencer, paterror of Aller-African well, editor of the Philadelphia Courier. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE COURIER Mrs. James A. Page Arranges Symposium on "Am I My Brother's Keeper." BETHEL CHURCH IS CROWDED I would not have missed it for an old person, was the expression heard on every hand at Bethel church last Saturday evening when the high water mark in sacred concerts was surely reached in the program given. The professional man, business man, politician and proacher laid down the secret motives that directed his course in his dealings with his fellow man. The symposium was a progressive one. A high standard was struck by John T. Writt, the initial speaker, and maintained through the program. Attorney R. L. Vann made clear the responsibilities imposed on the lawyer by his client and the satisfied sense in which the lawyer is the B. Father's Keeper. Dr. Jas. A. Bunhollow followed the accomplishments of countries of progress in medical and science. He planned out for this science extained and that it had for its ultimate aim the production of the physically perfect man that must after all, he said, preclude the man ideally developed on every side. Philosophical in its treatment of the responsibilities of the politician, or perhaps more correctly, the statesman, Captain Frank R. Stewart's address was also a very practical lesson on the civic duties of every individual citizen of the community. "The modern philosophy is not the survival of the fittest," he said, "but it is the revival of unity. Every citizen, as well as the politician, was shown to be his 'brother's keeper.' The ministry, not a profession, was professionally explained by Rev. Dr. P. A. Scott. "We are commanded by God Himself," he said, "to devote our lives to our brothers' welfare. We have no choice in the matter. No matter how small the pecuniary benefit, we must go forth and perform our heavenly appointed task for the spiritual welfare of mankind." Miss Sara Writt sang her selection with feeling and usual strength and beauty. Richard B. Harrison capped the climax in a seemingly inspired condition of the immortal "Thanatopis." The sacred concert or symposium was arranged by Mrs. James A. Page and taken under the auspices of Biblical Class. Many compilations on the effect we heard. The advice was powerfully not only because of the uniformity high standard of Accredence maintained, but also because here was a purpose to it. Such mortar-heart talks between business-men, professional man, minister, problemist and their patrons, under the burden and influence of the church, can be used to promote increased broths, facing among our people toward the other. KANSAS JUDGE PLEASED WITH COLORED JURORS KANSAS JUDGE PLEASED WITH COLORED JURORS For the first time in the history of Reno county, Klan, a case was re-arrested at Hirschmann before a jury convicted virtually of colored men. It was the case of Mrs. M. J. Marshall, a colored woman, who was examined as to her sanity. Deputy Probate Judge Fulton is said to have remanded that he never saw a thief, six of men on a jirr than those six colored men, one of them a doctor, protecting a minister and a third a law student and all of them men who had good education and character. Detective Geo. W. Cole. Mr. Cole is conceded to be one of the best detectives on the force. He has been asked to resign on pension by Director Morin, but is too active a man to quit and Thos. A. McQuaide, superintendent of police, will not let such a good man retire. The Race wants him retained, as he is a credit to us. Work, Integrity, Tact, Temperance, Prudence, Courage, Faith. EX-PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT. EX-PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT ROOSEVELT NOW CANDIDATE FOR RE-NOMINATION Speaks Again For Direct Primaries. Taftites Still Profess Confidence. REPLIES TO THE GOVERNORS New York.—I will accept the nomination to president if it is tendered to me and I will adhere to this decision until the convention has expressed its preference." Theodore Roosevelt in these words broke his silence of months, dispelled whatever mystery may have surrounded his secret campaign against Taft and formally declared himself in the race for the Republican nomination. The colonist's statement from the Outlook office in the form of a reply to a petition from eight governors, dated February 10, in which they implored him to express his willingness to accept the nomination. Following his reply: New York, Feb. 24, 1912. Gentlemen:—I deeply appreciate your letter and I realize to the full the heavy responsibility it puts upon me, expressing as it does the carefully considered convictions of the men elected by popular vote to stand as the heads of government in their several states. I absolutely agree with you that this matter is not one to be decided with any reference to the personal preferences or interests of any man, but purely from the standpoint of the interests of the people as a whole. I will accept the nomination for president if it is readout to me and I will adhere to this decision until the convention has expressed its preference. One of the chief principles for having stood and for now stand and which I have always demeaned and which I shall endeavor to reduce to action is the genuine rule of the people and therefore I hope that so far as possible the people may be given the chance, through direct primaries, to express their preference as to who shall be the nominee of the Republican convention. THEENDORE ROOSEVELT. The letter is addressed to Governor William E. Glasscock of West Virginia, Governor H. C. Ackwich of Nebraska, Governor Robert P. Bags of New Hampshire, Governor Joseph M. Carev of Wyoming, Governor Chase S. Osborn of Michigan, Governor W. R. Stubbs of Kansas and Governor Herbert S. Hadley of Missouri. The only remark which has emanated from President Taft since the announcement that at all bore upon the tepee political situation, was made to a senator who asked that his name be not used. It was this: "I know that we are right and I am confident that we will be successful." After reading the statement of Colonel Roosevelt, Charles P. Taft of Cincinnati, brother of President Taft, said: "I don't think Mr. Roosevelt will get the nomination. In fact I am positive we will be at him. Mr. Roosevelt has made himself unpopular with the Republican party by his speech at Columbus." Mr. Taft said that this statement was his own personal opinion If you have a vote fill in blank space above, whom you favor for Legislator, and either give to our agent or mail direct to The Courier office. PITTSBURG PA., MARCH 2, 1912. ALL VOTERS URGED TO GET REGISTERED Wednesday, March 13, Is the Last Day to Qualify For April Primaries. VOTES TELL REAL POWER Soon the vote-getter will be active in the interest of his candidate for this or that office, and every man who has a vote will find himself a valuable asset in the eyes of the politician. Too, there may arise a necessity for a few votes in behalf of a Negro candidate, and certainly we do not wish to defeat ourselves by our own failure to secure the necessary qualifications. No one will probably realize the value of his vote until he is called upon for it; no one may hope to cast a vote who willfully neglects to provide himself with it. As long as we neglect to register, so long will we be ignored politically, for the very plain utter folly to boast of a Negro population of 16,000 when we have only about 9,000 actual voters. What we need is to register every Negro in the city and county, and then when we are approached for our ballot, we, like the Hebrews, may ask: What shall we receive in return for our support. Numbers count for naught in politics; it is the votes, nothing less. Get registered now.

COLORED LAWYER FREES CLIENT OF SERIOUS CHARGE Proves Indicted Man One Hundred Miles Away When Assault Took Place. Graphic Story of How Attorney Seipio A. Jones Broke Down State's Evidence In Sensational Criminal Case In Pulaski County Circuit Court. Case of Mistaken Identity. Little Rock, Ark.—The case against Lee Williams, charged with the crime of rape upon a white woman in Pulaski county, Ark., recently came up for trial in the circuit court of the said county and failed. Williams was indicted by the county grand jury and faced the court with a strong array of state witnesses against him. He was defended by Attorney Seipio A. Jones. According to the evidence given by the state, the woman had been criminally assaulted and Lee Williams was the man who had committed the crime. Williams had been thoroughly identified by the woman as her assailant. She had picked him out of a collection of seven colored men at police headquarters and declared him to be the guilty man. She knew he was the man. She had seen him several times before and knew him. She had previously failed to identify any one of several colored men brought before her, but by the time she saw Lee Williams she declared him to be her assailant. The state also produced some testimony which supported the main prosecuting witness. When the state closed its testimony it was the general impression of nearly all the spectators in the courtroom that the state had made out an iron-clad case and that. Williams would surely be convicted and executed. And this conclusion was not at all strange, for Williams was a colored man and SCIPIO A. JONES, ESQ. had been declared by the white woman to be the criminal, and in such cases the custom has been that a conviction would follow. Against this ironclad case of the state Lawyer Scipio A. Jones, who represented Williams, proved possibly the most complete, the most sweeping and the most irresistible alibi that has been produced in the court in recent years. And with it he utterly annihilated the state's testimony, forcing the state to an unconditional surrender, with the result of a verdict of "Not guilty" by the jury. This meant, of course, the complete exoneration of his client. Able Defense by Attorney Jones. Williams had been employed by the Blissville Hardwood Lumber company. Mr. Jones' produced an array of witnesses, time checks, time slips and written records, which proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that at the time of the alleged crime Lee Williams, the defendant, was on duty at this mill, which was 100 miles from the place of the alleged crime. The proof on the part of the defense showed that the prosecuting witness was mistaken in her identification of Williams. "She knew Williams was the guilty man. She knew she could not be mistaken about it." But she was mistaken, as Williams was not the man. This striking illustration of the imperfection of all human judgment teaches a valuable lesson and should be carefully considered by all the people, as it is of universal concern, and most especially should it be remembered by our courts and juries, not that guilty men may escape punishment, but that innocent men may not be put to death. The court and jury of Little Rock and Pulaski county, Ark., are to be congratulated upon the spirit of fairness and justice exhibited by them throughout the trial, which was a great credit to that community, state and southland. The facts in this case and its final conclusion illustrate the splendid position held by Lawyer Jones in the courts and demonstrate his extraordinary skill and ability as a trial lawyer. Lawyer Scipio A. Jones in this one case in bringing forcefully to the minds of the people the universal frailty, weakness and uncertainty of all human conclusions as to ability to perceive clearly, remember correctly, describe accurately or identify truly in addition to preserving the innocent life of his client has rendered mankind universal service. He has made his way up on higher ground by close application, dint of hard study and labor. SEWICKLEY CHURCH OPENS ON SUNDAY Founded a Great School and Is a Prominent Baptist Minister of the Gospel. Montgomery, Ala. In a two weeks' celebration recently hold in this city the colored people signally honored the Rev. Dr. A. J. Stokes, the veteran pastor of the First Baptist church. The event marked the twentieth anniversary of Dr. Stokes' pastorate in Montgomery and was participated in by the pastors and members of the various churches without regard to denomination. The anniversary sermon was preached by the Rev. M. W. Gilbert. D. D. president of Solna university, who was a classmate of Dr. Stokes at Benedict college, Columbb. S. C. Dr. Stokes has the distinction of being the pastor of a church with the largest membership of any church among our people in the country, having an enrollment of more than 5,000, with over 2,000 active willing workers. He is in many respects a remarkable man, is of commanding influence in the state of Alabama and as far as his congregation is concerned is loved and revered. Dr. Stokes was born a slave in 1899. His father had purchased his own freedom and had paid for the freedom of his wife, with the exception of $14, when emancipation came. Consequently the earlier children were slave property at their birth. Through his father's help he received his education at Benedict college, finishing the course in ministry and has been one of the most successful church builders within his denomination. He has built eighteen churches in South Carolina, one being a $5,000 structure at Orangeburg, his home town; one in Clarksville, Tejin; repaired a church and erected a parsonage in Fernandina, Fla. After taking the pastorate of the First Baptist church in this city Dr. Stokes completed the church, including all the interior work, and built its membership up until it has overtopped the 5,000 mark. He has had an eventful career in Montgomery. By his unusually manly stand upon political matters, announced in an emancipation address in 1897, he brought down a storm of denunciation upon his head through the agency of the white press; but, singularly enough, his congregation and other friends have always stood by him in whatever advanced step he has taken or advocated with reference to his people. He is pronounced in favor of a system of education which teaches children to be proud of their race and to that end began a school in Montgomery, known as the Montgomery academy, which is supported entirely by the membership of the First Baptist church. The school has been in existence about fourteen years and is attended annually by about 200 students. While the church is large as to membership and is what might be considered unwieldy, a remarkably well systematized management does away with any laxity in church management. The forty-two deacons have each a district under their immediate care and watchful supervision, so that the needs of any individual are speedily looked into and adjusted. Each deacon visits in his section, making careful report of conditions, and, to accommodate the pastor in his arduous work of calling upon his members, he has been provided with a handsome automobile. The church does a large amount of benevolent work among the poor people of the city and tenderly looks after any of its own members who are in any way unfortunate. Just now, a handsome brick edifice is going up, at a cost of $55,000, and when the building is ready, for occupancy in October every cent necessary to pay for its construction will have been paid. The building was designed by W. B. Bailey, the architect at Tuskegee institute, and is being erected by two colored contractors of Montgomery. The erection of this building is a fitting climax to the twenty years' service of a telling and helpful nature that Dr. Stokes has given to Montgomery. He is bled in high esteem by the people of this city and state, and ever since he has been Alabama he has been moderator of the Spring Hill District association. He is also treasurer of the National Baptist convention. Dr. Stokes is counted well off in this world's goods and has invested his salary for the most part in well paying farm land In and around Montgomery. He has a goodly amount of city property, a 720 acre farm near Wetampta and thirty acres in rich cotton land within the corporate limits of Montgomery. FIVE CENTS A COPY CHURCH ON SUNDAY Rev.

MORE views ON SUBJECT. 8. WATSON CHARGES THAT THAD- DEUS L. M'DONALO MADE UN- WARRANTED ATTACK ON - MR. DE CORDOVA. New York—Many Wett Indien ae sroes now living in this county, who bave been following the discussions relative to true conditions tn Samaica, | are Inclined to side with the views ex. | pressed on the subject by Attorney O'Connor DeCordova rather than with the impressions of Thaddeus L. Bc Donald, a student at Morgan college, Baltimore. Among those to side with Mr. DeCordova is J. S, Watson, a na liye of Jamaica, who asserts that Mr. McDonald made a warranted attack da Mr. DeCordova. Mr. Watson says: “During the longe-drawnout Wegt todian dlecugetomfa the papers, 1 5 mained passive for the reasou that 1 ablor the idea of making m7selt von- spicuous in print, and further, because af efitertaining the bope that sooner or later some disinterested party would appear who would give the American public an impartial impression of the West Indian, based on his personal ob- servatton. “When, therfore, I read sfeoaoe SeCordova’s article respecting “the West Indies, I conchided that it would terminate the controversy; first, recause Mr.~PeCordova is, to use Mr. McDonald's expression, “a man of {n- atlectuol attainment, social sated 28g in unblemished character: seQbnaly, decause of his vast experience trough nany years’ practice at the bar and Inter as high government official, which brought him in contact with all asses of West Indians: and thirdly, secause he isa white man. “Thaddeus L. McDonald's unwar- canted attick on Mr. DeCordova's very ‘alr. staremens has now induced me J nike up she issue, T wish it dis- inetly smnderstood at gts ouset that ‘ny purpose is not to discuss the rela- ivy merits of the West Indian and ho American, for that is not the point ic issue, Furthermore, it is eonceded al in every country on the face of fin earth there are two classes. of versons: the one representing the best. ype of citizensitp and the other the conduct of whose members reflects Jiseredit and disgrace on the land of heir birth and their fétlow eltizene. {t would therefore be unfair to one country as to the other to select « rep- cesentative West Indian negro for comparison with a low type American negro and vice versa, and then say here is @ proof of thelr superiority. Be hat as it may: let us now examine some of Mr. McDonald's criticisms: Cordova that negroes in Jamaica are prominent in all walks of life, but de- slares that that gentleman has made the mistake of confounding the pros- perity of the few with the welfare of the many, and then asks: ‘Who are these men of whom Mr. DeCordova nas spoken?” His answer Is rich men, in some cases learned men: and in most casea men who do not regard themselves as negroes. p& “L know of no country where there is an equal distribution of {ts wealth among its inhabitants and where a yeneral satisfaction prevails, except ft be Moore's suggested “Utopla'—some must be rich and others poor. Nor do (know of any lend where there 1s an 2quallty of mental capdelty among its people—some must be learned and oth- ers illiterate. If all were commercl men there would be no customers; all were professional men there woul be no clients or patients. “While admitting that the governor aestows judicial offices and other gov- srament positions on the negroes, Mc- Donald says that these seeming hon- ors ure only 2 blind to the real con- iitions of the negro in'Jamaica, and ‘nfuct. itis a mere pretext to strength: an the disadvantages and injustices under wbich the black man ot Jamaica is laboring.

TAFT AND TEDDY. "Nothing but death can keep me out of the fight now" and "my hat is in the ring" are the declarations of the two most prominent Republicans of the country, now avowed candidates for the Presidency of the United States. The one, President Taft, enters the race with the sanction of the so-called "interests," who are free to risk their man's chances upon the record made since his election. Added to this is the fact that he is now in office, which, of itself, is a decided advantage. The other, Mr. Roosevelt, enters the fight with the sanction of those who claim to be champions of the whole people and their cause as directly opposed, as they claim, by the interests. This sanction has been taken to mean a demand upon the part of the people, and Mr. Roosevelt interprets his action as a respond to the call of the people. The critition of Mr. Taft held that the President is not sufficiently progressive; that he is biased on the question of the Courts and Judges because he himself is a member of the bar; that he is seeking to establish and make permanent his policies through his appointments of Supreme Court Justices; that he is the willing agent of the so-called interests. Mr. Roosevelt is charged with trying to break the two term policy; that he is ultra-progressive and dangerously so; that he is now trying to defeat the policies of the man whom he himself named as his successor; and finally that he added the straw to the back of the political camel by his speech at Columbus. The critics of both men may be right in many particulars; but there is one conclusion shared by all, and that, the people are supreme and must remain so in order to maintain a government of and by the people. The election of Mr. Roosevelt need not mean an adoption by the people of all he advocates. For if the people are to rule, they may express a dislike for and legislate against many of the policies of Mr. Roosevelt, just as many are now expressing a dislike for some of the policies of Mr. Taft. Too much capital can be made of the policies of either man. The statement alleged to have been made by Mr. Taft that the people are not fit to govern may be as grossly overworked as the Roosevelt speech at Columbus. At all hazards the situation demands a safe and sane handling, or more serious results may happen than could possible grow out of the election of either man, viz: a Democratic President and Congress. DETECTIVE COLE. The demand made by Director Morin, asking for the resignation of a dozen city detectives would have been of little importance had not the name of our only representative, George Cole, been among the number. The reason given by the Director for asking for the resignation of these men is that they are now eligible to retire upon a pension, having served twenty years in the service. This reason is a good one in a few cases, but in the case of Cole the reason is not good. Because he has served twenty years is no argument that he is now too old to render efficient service. It is not a question of how long the man has been in the service, but how old is the man in actual years. From the point of efficiency and ability, we venture the assertion that George Cole has few if any equals in the city or county. He is only a middle aged man, and one who has taken extreme care of himself, and looks in the prime of life. Superintendent McQuade has the highest regard for his ability, and the opinion of a man like McQuade is worth more by far than the opinion of Mr. Morin, who is now serving his first term as a Director. We hold that compulsory retirement is entirely out of place in the case of Mr. Cole, and the Courier urges most emphatically that our only and efficient representative be retained in the service; for there is but one George Cole, and he is good for many years to come. Let him remain. LOCAL NEWS John Marron, one of Allegheny county's most prominent criminal lawyers, will address Loeni Symposium next Sunday afternoon. John C. Morton, Wm. H. Stanton.

EPREZER BIBLE CLASS BENEZEL The class of a series of monthly meetings, under the auspices of the Bible class of Ebenezer Baptist Church, was held at the church last Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. A large congregation was present, and from the interest manifested throughout the services, the meetings seem to be growing in favor. The meeting opened with a short service of song, following by Scripture reading by the pastor, Rev. W. W. Brown, after which John S. Morton, teacher of the Bible class, introduced Mr. Patton, general paint manager of the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, who spoke for about five minutes. He said in part that the measure of Christianity depends not on what we propose to do, but on what we do in our daily life; that there is an evidence of Christianity in every man's face when he has seen the great light he learns that we are being good, and the measure of his life as a Christian is the measure of that work. Mr. Morton then introduced the speaker of the afternoon, Mr. Reed, secretary of the Traveler's Protective Association of the Pennsylvania Railroad. He read the 46th chapter of St. Mark, and took for his subject Practical Christianity, speaking not as a minister, but as a thunderer an a Christian, and he directed the church mainly to those in the church who are not doing the work God intended them to do. He said that only 20 per cent of all the men and boys of Protestant faith in the United States, have a place in the church of Jesus Christ; that $100,000,000 is spent annually in the liquor traffic in America, and that 000 of the pure girls of the church out of pure homes, are dragged down to the church. Taking this into consideration, we can readily see what it means for men and women to live Christian lives and work in the saving of boys and girls in their neighborhood. Mr. Reed closed with the admonition that we live our Christianity and make it practical; that whatever positions we hold in our church, strengthen that we not re-conscrute but "conserve" their services to the Lord Jesus Christ. Rev. Brown thanked the congregation for their presence and the speakers for the interest they manifested in the work of the church. He had already furnished clothing for a number of boys and girls; that there, were still six or eight they had not been able to supply but the collection from this meeting would go for that purpose. The meeting closed with bendiction. 50. BABIES WANTED. There will be a special baby week at John Wesley A. M. E.

"The Sunday afternoon-Symposium of the Loenli scored a fine success the past Sunday. Enthusiasm well I should say. Why we "came back" their old friend and one of their, their very own poet-Philip Pryor. Such an ovation one seldom witnesses in good old work-a-day Pittsburgh. It really was a genuine expression of joy and the spirit of the occasion became infectious as all shared in receiving with unstinting applause each number as rendered by Mr. Pryor and this company called the Southland Nightingales, who sang selections as only they could sing them. They were accompanied by Mrs. White the blind pianist whose tone and voice was a strikingly characteristic feature of the entertainment. Then "their own poet" took his audience completely when he recited "The Gospel of the white wash brush" and "Don't force me." The afternoon at the club seem to team with good things. Attorney Wm.Stanton, "the Cauncey Depew of the club," in his inimitable manne, introduced Prof. Richard Harrison, the well-known reader who very pleasantly and gracefully paid a beautiful compliment to Mr. Pryor as he is working along similar lines and also to the symposium promoters.

February 26, 1912. was a day and night long to be remembered by our music loving citizens who were fortunate enough to hear the recital at Wells high school auditorium, under the auspices of the Stanton Social Club. Miss Sata B. Writt, accompanied by Mrs. Edward Johnson, arrived early in the afternoon and both ladies were guests of Mrs. C. N. Murray. The Henorphica Mandolin quartet of Pittsburgh and Carl C. Jones of Wheeling arrived later and were the guests of the club. The initial appearance of Miss Writt in Steubenville was successful from every point of view and the club has been heartily congratulated over their good fortune in securing a singer of so much ability, and possessing such a pleasing personality. Miss Writt's singing was of a very high standard, especially which evoked much applause. It has been said that the auditorium was a hard place to sing in on account of improper acoustic properties, but Miss Writt's well-trained voice filled the entry hall. The club's patrons are demanding a return date. The playing of the Mandolin quartet was all that had been predicted of it. Such sweet harmony, perfect execution and high order of selections have never before been heard in this city. Prof. Lemuel Brooks and his artists can rest assured of an early return date. Earl Jones of Wheeling sang so sweetly and so perfectly that both Pittsburgh and Steubenville are anxious to call him their very own. L. Sutton Murray, the only lyric tenor of Steubenville was in rate form and his rendition. L. N. McCullough maintained the reputation of a versatile basso profundo and both his numbers showed that his voice has not borne of its old time sweetness.

TRIFLES THAT MEAN ECONOMY May Appear Small, but in the Course For Wills, R. F. The familiar Waldorf salad made of apples, celery and nuts takes on a new air if the ingredients are all abbedded instead of being cut in dice shaped pieces or broken bits. If pistachio nuts are ground fine and sprinkled over the top the green addition will add to the sightfulness of the dish and the nuts themselves will improve the flavor. If red is wanted a few thin wedges of apple may retain their red skin. Roast turkey left from dinner makes delicious salad, mixed with celery seasoned with capers and dressed with mayonnaise. The usual directions call for equal parts of meat and celery, but there is no hard and fast rule. The amount of the meat on hand and the taste of the family are strong considerations. Two towels sewed together on two sides and one end, the top turned over and a cord run through the casing near the top make an excellent solled linen bag. Bottles which have contained olive oil are cleaned the most satisfactory with ammonia. For a sick room two or three covers for dishes sent up on a tray are made of 'embroidery' hoops with cheese cloth stretched tightly between them. Several squares of the cheese cloth in exactly the right size are a convenience. They should be hemmed. GLAZED NUTS EASILY MADE Winter Delicacy That Is Popular With Both Old and Young and Not Costly. A dainty for the winter table that may be prepared at home with little cost is glazed nuts. Various kinds of nuts may be glazed excepting peanuts, which are not especially good for that treatment, but none is better than hickory nuts and butternuts. Have the meats picked from the shells. Boll granulated sugar with enough water to thoroughly dissolve it, stirring it as little as possible. When it spins a thread in the nuts and let them cook a very little, for if left-too long on the stove the oils will be drawn from the nuts. Pour out on platters, spreading them thinly, and when cold they will be found to separate easily. Nuts prepared this way are very nice mixed with homemade candy. About one-half cup of sugar is sufficient for one-half pint of nuts. Olev Koeks. Cream a pound of butter with one of sugar, whipping it light. Stir into it a quart of milk and a cupful of yeast with a quart of flour. Let it rise all night. In the morning add four eggs, well beaten, with two teaspoonfuls of cinnamon, and the last of mace or nutmeg. Add, last, two cupfuls of flour, or enough to make the mixture as stiff as soft bread dough. Set to rise again. It should be light in three hours. Then roll into a sheet an inch thick and cut into shapes with tin rich golden brown, take up with a skimmer and lay to drain in a colander. Sift powdered sugar over them while they are hot. Fish a la Orleans Any kind of large fish may be used. Season fish well and boll it until it can be pulled apart in small pieces. Put a layer of fish, then beets, pitted olives and capers, in a mold, and continue thus until the mold is full. Soak a quarter of a box of gelatine in enough cold water to dissolve it, then pour the hot liquor, in which the fish has been boiled, on it until the gelatine is all dissolved, then pour as much liquor into the mold as it will take up over the layers of fish, beets, olives and capers; when cold take out of mold and serve on lettuce with a mayonnaise dressing. Cabbage Tartare. Select a handsome cabbage, carefully band back, the outer leaves, and hollow out center to form a basket. Let stand in cold salted water to crisp. Chop center of cabbage fine and let stand in salted water two hours. Drain well and add sauce tartare to moisten, made either with a mayonnaise or boiled dressing foundation. Return to basket, pour a little dressing over top and garnish with pimento strips, olives and parsley. Avoids Scorching. Many housekeepers do not know that there is a simple way to prevent potatoes from burning and sticking to the bottom of the pot. An inverted pio pan placed in the bottom of the pot avoids, scorching potatoes. The water and empty space beneath the pan save the potatoes. This also makes the work of cleaning pots easier, as no adhering parts of potatoes are left to be scoured out—Popular Mechanics. Stuffed Hamburg Steak Grind one pound of meat in a food chopper, season, salt, pepper and the juice of one onion—or chop the onion and mix with the meat—and one egg. Have ready any preferred dressing, poultry or other, grease muffin or gem pans, put in a layer of Hamburg, then a layer of dressing, and lastly one of Hamburg. Bake in oven, and when done out on platter and garnish if you choose. Lemon Candy. One cup sugar, one cup molasses (or any good sirup) one cup butter, boil together until done, flavor with one (tablespoonful of lemon extract, pour out on a greased platter and when cool pull until white. This is also excellent for pop corn balls. The recipe may be doubled if a larger quantity is wanted. Neapolitan Tarte. Make a nice puff paste as for the usual turtles, but instead of baking the common way, use a waffle pan. When ready to fill place little mounds of whipped cream on each, capped with a cherry. They are as tempting to look at as delicious to eat, and so quickly made. extends a cordial greeting to the ministers of all denominations to be guests of the School for one week, beginning July 6, 1812, for the purpose of discussing the following and kindred questions: What is the moral condition of the people in your com- All ministers who intend attending this Conference should make it known at an early date, addressing the President, so that reservation can be made for them.

THE IMPERIAL EMPLOYMENT EXCHANGE AND AUTOMOBILE SCHOOL For Learn Aacol Woolls I believe you will agree with me readers that it is a wise man who knows enough to come in out of the wet.

The wisdom of learning automobiling in all its branches and laying by something for a rainy day was never better exemplified than it is at present, and if that something is properly invested in automobile engineering your children some day will rise up and call you blessed.

AMONG THE CHURCHES ALL CHURCH NOTES MUST BE AT THE OFFICE BY WEDNESDAY OF EACH WEEK TO BE PUBLISHED UNDER THIS HEAD.

Church (410) Minnissia, Harris) The great revival in the East End which is being conducted at Euclid avenue, Church, is one of the grandest of its josters. The soul-stirring praaching of the great evangelist, Dr. J. G. Robinson of Christ, is producing every gaiting results. Great crowds are intrigued and numerous gods have been received. The crowd of last Sunday evening was too large to be accommodated, even standing room with occasional source, a gathering place has never been equaled in years. This revival has certainly been blessed by the Holy Spirit, as quite a number have been converted and hard sledders have renewed their ways to enter the church and strive through the help of God to live upright Christian lives. A great and good work is certainly being done to the perfect satisfaction to our dear pastor, Dr. D. S. Bentley, whose heart and soul is completely enveloped in the saving of souls.

HE DEPENDED ON HIS WIFE How the Nearsighted Old Man Almost Slept Himself to Death, Never Eating. It seems that an old man with some property had married an elderly lady. The lady was a sprightly dame, executive, lively and keen. The bridegroom could not see more than an inch beyond his nose, and he was pretty hard of hearing, too. He so depended a good deal on his wife, you understand. He'd wake up in the morning and wonder if it wasn't time to get up for breakfast. So he'd slide out of bed and look into his wife's room. If she was up, he'd begin dressing; if she was still in the hay, he'd go back and have another nap. Well, the lady got on to this habit of his. She fixed up a dummy out of bedclothes one morning just before she went downstairs. The old man came into the room an hour later, squinted at the bed and said, "Anna's still asleep." and went right back to the feathers. After he had slept awhile he took another observation. Same business. It was ten days before he found but how his wife had been fooling him. He blame near slept himself to death, meanwhile. He never had a meal and he got weaker and weaker, but he never get up. He didn't know it was morning yet. And the old lady had the time of her life; she had saved $14.36 in groceries alone. Higher the driver of the ple wag on, told us this. And he swears it's true, but we swear not at all.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. More Favorable Ground. When our son was a boy of four a family of children moved next to us who were simply incorrigible. Of course their doings were much commented on in our family, and many a time I talked about "those dreadful Smith children." One day I had occasion to correct my little son, talking to him seriously. He listened quietly for awhile, then looked up at me and said with the most engaging air: "Don't let's talk about this, mamma! let's talk about the Smith children."

Dis Barvest Mate 33038 (This exposition of the lesson Is based on the narrative in Luke 6:1-11.) Already in our previous lessons we have seen Christ as the founder of the Kingdom cf Heaven upon the eatth. He was born a king; his baptism was tm a senso the inauguration of the king: the temptation, the testing of the king. Being bimeelt thus pre pared, we see him starting out to re- crult the first members of bis king- dom, who, in addition to being mem- ders of the Kingdom themselves, should also be instrumental In enlist- ing others under its banner. In the call of these first disciples, wo recognize the essential conditions which were to underlie all subsequent calls of dlécipleship. To diggover these contilons abosld be. the Surpone ol al who teach this lesson. The fundamental condition, or _ condt tions underlying entrance into the Kingdom of God, are forever the same with each succeeding generation, “The sifts and calling of God are without change.” We are told that the “crowds press- ed upon Jesus to hear the Word of God." The preaching of the Word of God is always a drawing card. The crowds have not wearled of the preach- Ing of the gospel, but only of the aver- age preacher who falls to preach the sospel. Wherever you find a man who, Uke Moody, Torrey, Spurgeon, and many others, preaches the Wofd of God, there you will find the streets full of men and women still pressing to hear the message. Fire will always at- tract tloge who are cold, and food those who are hungry. So will the preaching of the simple gospel attract the hearts of men for whom St is pre- pared. The world was made for the gospel, and the gospel for the world. All great sermgns in the Bible were preached in the open air. If the peo ple will not come to chureh, then let us take the church to them, If it was not deneatf the dignity of Jesus Christ to bold: open alr meetings, it surely cannot be beneath any pretended and ussumed dignity wo may Drofess to pot- sess. Let some ministers who, dur- ing the hot months of'{he year, preach to but a corporal's oad, go out into the open air and.preach to the crowds. The best way to reach the masses is to go after them. Jesus requested of these men the loan of their boats, and they at once complied with the Master's request. In other ports. be ast these zg to white to bim. And they magnificently he repaid them is seen inthe, miraculous draught of fishes. No man can surrender bis business to Jesus Christ without eventually be- ing a gainer by it. He »sball receive a hundredfold more in this Ife, and in the world to come life everlasting.” Next, Jesus requires that these men recognize him as knowing more about their business than they do them- selves. He requires them to do what their own common eense tells them there 1s no use in doing. This Is evi- dent by the answer of Peter: “Lord we have tolled all night and caught nothing, nevertheless,” ete. The word “Lora” here probably means “ship- master,” one set’over @ bost, and is re- markable as used in this cobnection. The word “nevertheless” indicates sur- render of their thoughts and plans to Christ. : Christ required from these men the surrender of thelr whole lives. They forsook thelr nets, and thelr business, and followed him. This was final and complete obedience. Ever after they were to devote thelr lives to catching men, not fish. No man can enlist under the ban- per of Christ, nor become « member of the Kingdom of God, who is not willing to make an absolute surrender of himselt and all. that be bas and expects to be to the Christ and his service. "So Mkewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that be hath, he cannot: be my disciple.” - Of course, Christ may not, in fact does not cail upon us all to leave our daily vocation and become preachers or mis- slonarles, No; ofttimes be calls upon us to do what ts very much harder— to stay in business and use It for him and bis kingdom., There can be no question, however. but that ere we can become Ctrist’s disciples there must be the complete surrender of ourselves to his absolute and authoritative con- trol. This is the crucial test of Chris- Uianity. And it is Just at this point of unconditional serender that many peo- ple hesitate and ofttimes refuse to comply with the terms of disciple- ship. Implied, yea, clearly stated, in this call to membership in the kingdom, was was the consecration of there fishermen to the task of catching men.

The RING and the MAN WITH SOME INCIDENTAL DELATION TO THE WOMAN By CYBUS TOWNSEND BRADY ILLUSTRATIONS BY DEARBORN MELVILI COPYRIGHT 1925 BY RAPHIC TABO & COMPANY PROLOGUE A QUARTER OF A CENTURY BE FORE. The Storm Within. The storm was one of the worst that had ever burst from the mountains and swept across the plains. The wind came in wild bursts of tremendous speed. Even in the lulls, which were only comparatively such, it blow perhaps 20 miles an hour. The fierce blasts were laden with fine snow—frozen spindrift from a white ocean of cold! Needles of ice sharper than their prototypes of steel cut the bare flesh of those whom evil fortune kept abroad on such a night, bringing the blood to the freezing skin. The onslaught of the screaming tempest drove the hapless cattle mad with pain and terror. The thick snow compelled them to huddle together at last, and shelterless to suffer, freeze, and die in the pittless hurricane. Just where the foothills lose themselves in the prairie lay huddled a little town or camp. Every door and window was shut and barricaded against the searching storm. In one of the poorest and most miserable shanties on the outskirts of the town a woman lamp stood on a table before the window, set there as if in signal. The house, a mere shack which shook and quivered under the tremendous assaults of the storm, and night have been blown down if it had not been buttressed and protected by beeps of snow yet threatening to overwhelm it, contained but one room. In the corner farthest from the door stood a tumbled, frowzy bed. A rickety chest of drawers, a kitchen table, a rusty cook stove, a new uncertain chairs of the plainest and cheapest quality, were all the rest of the furniture. A few clothes hung from pugs driven in the boarded wall. A saddle in one corner, a pickax and shovel, a heavy quirt, and a rifle hanging from pegs beneath a shelf sufficiently pointed out the avocations of the owner. Vot she was a woman who, whatever her outward circumstances, showed no poverty of spirit. She raged up and down the room as a prisoned tiger paces the narrow confines of his cage. Sometimes she paused and stopped by the window, to rest her head beneath her hand on the sash and peer eagerly, passionately, out into the falling snow. She could see nothing, and after having woken with increased disappointment and further mortal angry words, she would resume her restless backward and forward march. Had there been any spectator when she assumed that picturesque position at the window, where the light, however it failed to illuminate the snow, threw her own face and person in high roller, the observer would have been surprised at the coarse and yet not unattractive beauty of her face and figure. She was full lipped and deep bosomed, tall, lithe, strong. Her cheeks were full of color, her hair black and coarsely crisp and curly. Her hands, which she clasped and unclasped nervously, were large and reddened by toil, but they were shaped nevertheless. But there was neither refinement nor goodness in her face. There were great possibilities of evil which experience could have detected. Hers had been a hard life, and it had made her a hard woman. She was perhaps twenty-five years but looked older. For hours the woman had waited in that but alone. It had been storming badly when she began her vigil, and the violence of the tempest had increased until she feared that no human soul could brave it. That she very much wanted some one to attempt it, that she very keenly ardently longed for that, was quite evident. Great is the power of love. Even its counterfeit—that which passes for it in the eyes of the ignorant and experienced—may stir men and women to mighty deeds. This woman waited the arrival of one who fancied himself a modern Perseus about to release another bound and helpless Anromeda from a devouring monster. poor fellow was found frozen thereafter. For while the woman loathed and bated her drunken brute of a husband, yet she had no affection for the foolish young tenderfoot who had wandered out west to spend a summer holiday and had lingered on through the winter, fascinated by her exuberant attractiveness, and flattered by her bold and artful pursuit of him. She had thought to amuse herself in her dreary, wretched, sordid life by his fresh, frank, open admiration. The woman's drunken husband had cared little at first; but lately, under the fibles, sneers, and innudoes of his companions, he had become fiercely jealous. Then in maudlin fury he had forbidden the boy the house, and had sworn that he would kill him on sight. The woman thereupon swiftly made up her mind to break the thrdom of A man in a coat and hat stands in front of a table, holding a knife and a fork. Two women sit at the table, one wearing a scarf and the other a coat. The table is covered with a cloth, and there are plates, a pitcher, and a bowl on it. "You Are Going on a Longer Journey Than You Planned," He Panted. her matrimonial bond, and in the young stranger's company or by his agency to leave the country. She neither desired nor intended to be tied to the boy a half dozen years younger than she. Once in civilization it would be easy to break away from him, she knew. Thereafter she had no fear but with her beauty, her wit, and her courage, with her utter unscrupulousness, she could make her way in the east which she had never seen. And this was the night on which they had agreed to take their departure. Since her husband's wild outbreak of jealousy, she had seen the boy only once. In that surreptitious interview they had concocted their plans. Her husband spent the greater part of the nights, whenever he had any money, in gambling and drinking at the saloon. By a lucky chance a short time before in an all night trial with For- "You Are Going on a Longer Jour tune he had won something over $1,000. The bulk of it in hard cash still reposed in the chest of drawers. That, with what the boy could contribute, would provide for the expenses of the journey. She had got it out and tled it up in a little canvas bag. It lay on the table near the lamp. Fifteen miles south the Union Pacific railroad run across the continent. It had been her plan to ride thither and take the first train eastward, losing themselves in Chicago, and thence by whatsoever route pleased them making their way to New York. Whether her husband would pursue her or not, she could not tell. He would be without the money, since she means to take all with her. He would hardly be able to follow her very soon. But if he did, that was a risk she must take. Engrossed in the present, the boy thought nothing at all about the future. The woman's predicament bulked so large to his immature imagination that there was nothing else on the horizon. There was no other horizon than she, in fact. And his one desire was to get her away to free her. And now this storm bade fair to render the whole plan impossible. Misunderstanding his temper she feared that the boy would be frightened by the blizzard. Yet there was more in the boy than she imagined; for when she had about made up her mind finally that he would not come, the door was thrown open and he staggered into the room. The woman screamed slightly and stepped toward the snow-covered, ice-incurred figure. The young man forced the door shut, turned and faced her. He tore off his fur cap and threw it on the floor. He stretched out his ice gauntletted hands toward her. To reach the cabin he had been compelled to face the blizzard. His face was white yet bleeding. The woman shrank back from him. "Is this my welcome?" he said in a voice manly enough in spite of his youthful aspect. "You're so wet and so cold," said the woman. "The horses?" "They're outside," returned the boy. "But you didn't think of venturing in this blizzard? Why, it's like hell itself, or would be if hell was cold!" "I'd risk anything." said the woman fiercely, "to get away from him! You won't fall me now!" "But, my God, girl!" answered the boy with that assumption of superior age which so satisfied his pride, "we'll die in this blizzard." "No," persisted the woman. "See, the storm comes straight from the north. Our way is due back; we've only to keep it at our back." "All right," said the boy cheerly. ```markdown ``` He was a Martyr to Art He turned and stared out of the window. "You've no idea how terrible it is, though." "I don't care." "Get ready, then." "I'm ready," she replied. "See!" She lifted the skirt of her dress and showed him a pair of horseman's boots with a pair of her husband's trousers tucked tightly in them. "It's a good thing he has a small foot," she sneered. "Curse him!" said the boy. "I'd like to settle with him before we go." "You'll settle with him enough." said the woman cynically, "when you take me away from him." She turned and took down from one of the pegs a heavy fur overcoat. The boy assisted her to put it on. From a holster hanging on the wall she drew a small silver-mounted 32-calibrated revolver. "I'm ready." she said again. "Let us start, then," cried the boy, stepping forward. On the instant a whirl of wind disclosed to them that the door had suddenly opened. They turned to face a drunken, infuriated, leering figure. He had on a short, thick fur jacket, which left his hips completely uncovered. A heavy revolver had dangled in his holster. He dragged it out as he spoke and trained it on the boy. "You're going for a longer journey than you planned!" he panted thickly, as he stpove to steady the weapon and cover the other. The boy was fumbling at the fastenings of his coat. His own revolver ney Than You Planned," He Panted. was not get-at-table instantly, as it should have been and would have been had he been a native to the west. "Fumble at 'em, you fool!" cried the man. "Before you get 'em open, I'll shoot you dead. I don't do it now, cause I want you to taste death and hell as long as possible before you go into 'em. You thought you'd make a fool out of me, did you, and you, too, you—" He flung a frightful, mordant word at his wife which stung not less because it was in large measure undeserved, at least so far as the boy was concerned. "I'll settle with you when I get through with him. Your time up!" he continued, as the boy at last succeeded in reaching his weapon. He was game, that boy, although his face under its blood was whiter than it had been when he entered the cabin, while the other man's, similarly snow wounded, was red with rage; and, though he was covered and even a drunken man could scarcely miss at such range, he nevertheless drew his own weapon. But before he could He was a M Rheumatics Were Bad, but He Kept on That Womankind Might Enjoy Advantages. Those who know the gallery of the Pitti palace in Florence will remember its long and painful staircase. Climbing this one chill February day, I came upon the limping figure of an acquaintance. He was a gentle, Godfearing, harmless man, who the year before had retired from the paint business in Detroit, and had been borne abroad by a wife and daughter, who were hot from the study of art under the anspices of some local woman's club. "It's the cold rooms we live in," he explained pathetically. "I never had the rheumatism before this winter." He had hobbled as far as a comparatively little known, relatively unimportant room of portraits. I expressed surprise as he started to turn in there. "It's about the only thing left I haven't done," he said. "I didn't want much to come today—the rheumatics were bad again—but they said 'Cours are one more try,' and here I am." raise it there was a sudden movement back of him. The man in the doorway turned sharply. "What!!" he cried to his wife. "You would, you—" At that instant the boy was conscious of a sudden flash of light and a sharp detenation. The room was filled with noise, a little cloud of smoke blew down on him. Standing with his own pistol butt clasped tight in his hand, he saw the man in the doorway reel. The arm that held his weapon dropped to his side. With a convulsive movement he pulled the trigger. The bullet buried itself in the floor, while the man sank down on his knees, swayed a moment, a frightful look in his eyes, and then pitched forward on his face and lay still. "Good God!" whispered the boy turning to his companion, "you've shot him!" He stared at the woman, who still clasped the little silver-mounted weapon she had used with such terrible effect. "It was his life, or your life or mine," was the answer. "I did it for you," she said quickly, seeing a look of horror and repulsion spreading over the face of her companion. "Yes—yes! I know," he replied; "but—" "Come, we must get out of here immediately." "Of course, of course," whispered the boy nervously, "we can't stay here now." "Drag him into the room and shut the door!" The lad hesitated. "Are you afraid?" sneered the woman, making as if to do so herself. "Certainly not," was the answer; but the boy nevertheless was afraid—afraid of death, with more fear than he had ever felt for any one living. Yet something had to be done and at once. Forcing himself to the task at last, he stooped down, seized the man by the shoulders, turned him over on his face, and dragged him farther into the room. Then he shut the door. The two stared a moment at the prostrate figure. "He's not dead yet," said the boy slowly. "No; but he soon will be." The woman stooped over and unbuttoned the man's coat and waistcoat. "There!" she said, pointing to a ghastly hole. "I struck him fair in the breast. Would to God it'd been in his black heart!" she added. "Don't you see that we must go now and quick? Come, we can't delay any longer." "I'll take the blame 'on myself if we're caught,'" said the boy. "It was my fault, and you saved my life." "That's noble of you," returned the woman indifferently; "but we won't be caught." "Well, then, I'll save your reputation before I go," continued the other quixotically. There were a few tattered books on the shelf. He took one down, tore out the flyleaf, drew a pencil from his pocket, scribbled on it a few words, signed it, held it to the woman to read, laid the leaf down on the body of the dying man, and then turned to the door. He opened it, and the woman followed him out into the night. The room was very still. Beneath for the long, slow, faint, and fainter breathing of the man, there was not a sound within the hovel. Death hovered over him the long night through. The morning found him still alive, yet barely breathing. He was trembling on the eternal verge later in the day when men seeking him burst into the room. They found the letter of confession still lying where it had been placed. They revived the man sufficiently by stimulants to enable him to speak a pregnant word or two before his lips closed forever. The confession, the bullet that had killed him, the empty revolver, and the man's last words, solemnly attested by those present, were carefully preserved by the leader of them all. They might be useful some day; who knew? For the rest it was evident what had happened. The boy and the woman were gone from the camp. No search was made for them; none was possible. The blizzard had spent itself by that time; but the prairie was covered deep with drifted snow. A period of intense cold supervened. It was hardly within human possibility that the two fugitives could have got safely away. They must be buried somewhere to the southward in the vast drifts. Spring might reveal their fate, it might remain forever a secret. So far as the denizens of the country were concerned, the tragedy—one of the numberless ones of the frontier—was over. In a day or two it was forgotten. (TO BE CONTINUED.) He smiled patiently, faintly, and then suddenly he seemed caught up by emotion.— "I don't know as I was ever meant for this," he broke out. "I try. This studying art is all very well, but oh, the pain in the legs afterward!" One must laugh. But one must cry, too. I heard of his death a year later, and I actually believe he was marryted that his womankind might not lack advantages.—Delineator. His Lucky Escape. "Thank heaven!" exclaimed a man watching the ticker tape mark the fall of stocks. "Are you short of the market?" asked a man, dripping with the perspiration of heat, humidity and excitement. "Oh. no." "Did you get out in time, then?" "Oh. no." "What are you so thankful about then?" "Why, they broke me, but if I had had any more money they would have broken me harder." UNIONTOWN (By Nellie E. E. Grant.) St. Paul A. M. E. Church. Last Sunday was a day long to be remembered by members and friends of St. Paul church. Williams Johns aged 63 of Percy Pa. was converted at his home February 20. He came to Unknown the next day and spread the news of his new birth and announced that he would unite with St. Paul church on Sunday morning, which was a signal for a mighty out pouring of the people. At 11 a.m. a great crowd had assembled. Mrs. W. B. Anderson sang a beautiful solo "The Cloudless Sky." Rev. W. B. Anderson, D. D., delivered a most inspiring sermon, subject, "God Is Not Willing That Any Should Perish," at the close of her sermon Dr. Anderson opened the doors of the church and Mr. Johns went forward and joined amid many amens, thus making 30 persons who have joined St. Paul church during the past for or six weeks. Bishop Goins Not Forgotten. At 7:45 p. m. St. Paul church was graced with a most representative audience to witness the memorial service for the late Rt. Rev. Wesley J.
