Name Address His Life Is One of Teil, and Bespeaks Zeal As Well As Ability. Arnold candidates mentioned for the position of editor of The Christian Reorder, there is none with a wider share of experience than the subject of this sketch. Born and reared in the name of an A. M. E. preacher, his whole life has been within the church. A graduate of the Protestant Episcopal Seminary in Philadelphia, one of the best white schools in the whale country, he has given the course study to the history, growth and development of his own church. He is known for his manly and independent course of life. Though a bishop's son, he has never accepted but two appointments from his father's hands, and both of them were very small missions, but instead has always been in some other bishop's district, and is known as a man who "padles his own canoe." DR. C. M. TANNER. Pastor Big Bethel, Atlanta; Leader Atlanta Conference Delegation to the Next General Conference, who is being Connectionally discussed for the next Editor of The Christian Recorder. He is the author of several publications, among them being "The Probationers' Guide" and the "Manual for Probationers and Members." He is an admirer of the north and the south, his mother having been born in the south and his father in the north. For the years he served the church in the far-off mission field of South Africa, acting as presiding elder and publishing the first only paper issued by our church in that country. The South African Christian Record in recognition of his work along literary and practical lines, he received the degree of Doctor of Design, upon his return from South Africa, from Willeforce University. For twenty years he has laboured in different avenues of church work, and his friends hold that if sacrifice and merit are to have their just reward, then he will undoubtedly be the next editor of the mother oazan of the church. His last work of connection interest is the publication of a pamphlet touching the support of superannuated practitioners, missionaries, widows and orphans. This publication has received churchwide circulation and the most favorable mention. He has received over two hundred letters from all sections of the church, representing twenty-three states. The Atlanta independent, his home paper, stated in conclusion to a splendid review of his work, that "Dr. Tanner" elected to the editorship of The Christian Recorder, will help in making it one of the greatest church papers of this country." He has been asked upon numerous occasions if it was not his intention to stand for the Secretaryship of the new department which he advocated for the care of the church beneficiaries. His reply is that it would prepare the interest of that plan for him to announce himself for the place. He advocates the chance as a matter of principle. His election as the leader of his conference delegation is a good cause of the way in which he is regarded by the two who are closest to him. FLINN DECLINES TO BE CANDIDATE FOR LEGISLATURE He Will Be Roosevelt Candidate For National Delegate— Issues Statement MANY MEASURES ARE NEEDED Senator William Flinn today issued a statement in which he declined to become a candidate for the legislature and announced that he was a candidate for national delegate in favor of Roosevelt for President. The statement which is addressed to "the Republican voters of the Fourth legislative district comprising the Seventh, Eighth and Eleventh wards of the city of Pittsburgh" reads as follows: "Gentlemen—I am in receipt of a petition signed by over two thousand five hundred voters of the above mentioned legislative district asking me to become a candidate for the Republican nomination for the legislature. "The temptation is great to become a candidate in view of the opportunity that wuillem has made me to engage on the poor of the house of representatives measures that I have been an earnest advocate of for years such as: "The initiative, referendum and the recall, the latter to apply to all city, county and state officers, except the judiciary. "My passage of a stringent corrupt practice act which will limit the expenditure of each candidate based on the Wisconsin law, which will absolutely put money, as a factor, out of politics. "The passage of a law that will make ballot box stuffing and impersonation of voters penitentiary offense. "My primaries to the election of United States senators and state officers." "The passage of a minimum wage for women engaged in industrial pursuits, the enactment of a child labor law, which will protect children and prevent them from being overworked and providing a proper age limit. "The passage of a direct service law for state and county officers, similar to the law now in operation in Pittsburgh. "The passage of a direct employers' liability law that will enable injured workmen to recover specific damages and so prevent them from being burdened and annoyed with prolonged and expensive litigation." "The passage of a law that will prevent the public from being robbed by fake promoters of mining and other swindles, and which will provide for an examination by the banking department of the state, and the issuing of a license to sell stock. "But in view of the fact that I am one of the seven members of the National Roberts organization and am running as a national delegate in favor of the law, I feel that, considering my responsibility the leader when I am following and the immense responsibility that I have assumed in his interest, that under no circumstances should I in any way either embarrass our great cause nor neglect the opportunity that can only come by devoting my best thought to bring about a successful ending and a glorious victory. "I have no doubt that the followers of Theodore Roosevelt in this legislative district will find a candidate for assembly who is devoted to the Progressive Party and will serve county officials." "Thanking my neighbors, friends and the generous signers of this petition, and agreeing in linearly to serve them, I am. Very truly, "William Flips." Grant Taylor ..... Pittsburgh Eliza Watts .....

Pittsburgh ALABAMA SCHOOL HAS CONFERENCE OF THE FARMERS Prof. Griffins' Influential Institution Reaches the Masses and Gives Timely Help HUNDREDS IN ATTENDANCE Corona, Ala.—About 300 farmers, ministers and teachers attended the first conference held under the auspices of the Corona Normal and Industrial institute recently in response to a call issued by Professor M. H. Griffin, principal. "Improving the Churches and Schools and Widening Their Influence" was the subject for open discussion the first day, while "How to Make Farm Life Attractive to Young Men" was the subject for the second day. A great amount of interest was manifested in the proceedings, and the discussions were attended with a show of PROFESSOR M. H. GRIPFIN. interest that was gratifying. Besides the discussion of subjects by a large number of the farmers attending the conference addresses were made by W. T. B. Williams, agent of the John F. Slater and Jeanes fund boards of Hampton, Va.; Dr. C. O. Boothe and B. F. Riley of Birmingham. The organization of the conference, which will be an annual feature hereafter, was perfected by the election of J. R. Nall president, R. S. Sykes vice president, M. C. Cooley secretary and Fred D. Edmundson corresponding secretary. Strong resolutions were adopted in which the shortcomings of white and black alike were condemned and attention called to methods of better living that would bring about fruitful relations between the races. The resolutions read in part: Mindful of the many good things that have come to us since emancipation—of the progress we have made, of the opportunities that lies before us for growth in the southland and a growing necessity of our becoming a part of American civilization in every respect—we, the members of the Corona Negro conference, take occasion to express our concern for the future that have made these things possible for the Negro race. To the southern white people and to all people of America who are interested in the Negro as a portion of our cosmopolitan population we exercise a man's privilege in all things that pertain to American civilization. We plead for due process of law in the determination and protection of our rights, as in the case of other citizens, and for a full share of the blessings of our state governments in the education of our people, in the guaranty of our lives and property. We are not in the least discouraged because of spasmatic cases of disregard for law and order, notwithstanding these outbreaks are becoming more and more frequent and are direct against the people. We are fearful only lest that disregard that is so much directed against the safety of Negroes may extend to the whole people and be the cause of even graver consequences. That the Negro himself has shortcomings and is not in position to prevent them without saying. For these shortcomings we plead for patience and sympathetic for bearance that should characterize the attitude of the weak toward the strong. We would enjoy upon people of strength everywhere our care in their actions lest the Negro feel a certain license in copying their unlawful practices. We earnestly feel and believe that the administration of the law in the case of petty criminals might be tempered with justice and real change prove the necessity of motive when confronted with the opposing testimony of a white police official whose income often depends upon the number of arrests and convictions. To the Negro we would urge oblience to all laws, the lost life of his time and the loss of company in the purchase of property. We recognize the worth of the Corona Normal and Industrial Institute as a great factor in the training of our boys and girls and are grateful for the principal. Mr. H. H. Griffin his wife and the teachers who are following with them our continued effort to support the work. We are in this expression of gratitude to the people of the community and to spread its influence into the homes of the people. Bad Truth. London man says he cuts his own hair to fool the barber.

MONTICELLO 24, AND HOWARD 19 MONTICELLO 24, AND HOWARD 19 Howard University basket ball team with their full strength to the front, joined to Pittsburgh. Friday, March 7, and were defeated by the Monticello A. A. team by the score of 21 to 19 in a canyon yet fortunately played game. Howard seemed shot to pieces in the second half of the game, after two long shots were raged by Hall and Posey from back of the center to the floor. These two shots easily featured Monticello's end of the game. Even Gilmore. His crack center and always sure good shooter was held by Hall, a novice of the game. Howard was wooferly off in real shooting and only made a showing when Gilmore was called on to shoot. The first half ended 9 to 8 in favor of Monticello. In the second half Monticello seemed determined to carry the game to Howard and fairly swept them off their feet. Grey, the famous guard, Nixon and Sykes, the fast forwards could do nothing with Monticello's fast play and Howard was completely dazed and their reputed team work was nowhere in evidence. C. Posey, the former State college star, scored fifteen of Monticello's points, Dorsey, Clark and S. Posey played brilliantly, breaking up most of Howard's plays. The backers of Monticello feel safe in claiming the colored basketball championship of the country and stand ready to defend it against all comers. Lineup: M. A. A.—24. Howard U.—19.

OLD CHURCH LEADER HAS RETURNED HOME A very impressive incident occurred in Bethel church last Sunday evening when \Hiram Chinn, a prominent church\man of this city and until about seven years ago one of the most influential members of Bethel church, renewed his membership with that church. It will be remembered that Mr. Chinn was one of the many prominent people\who withdrew from Bethel a little more than seven years ago, and upon his return on Sunday night he expressed his sincere regrets for having left the church. The pastor, and members gave him a most cordial welcome and expressions of joy were heard all over the vast congregation. This church is returning back to its former standing and prestige in a marvelous manner under the present pastor. ROBINSON REPUDIATES ENEMIES' STATEMENT Belle-fontaine, O. Monday, Feb. 11, 1912. To Editor the Pittsburgh Courier. Pittsburgh, Pa. Dear Sir. Your very valuable paper of March 9, was marked and mailed to me by a friend. The above clipping was on front page. I wish to say that I enjoyed my stay in Pittsburgh and I can truthfully say that the Pittsburgh Courier had much to do with molluring righteous sentiment, by giving good spacve to the notices and nanouncements of the great revival which swept over the moky City. I am grateful to the Courier for so doing. I do not hesitate to say that I believe that you will be fair enough to let my many friends in Pittsburgh know the truth concerning the iniquious dispatch that swept over the country and was reproduced in your columns. Now, I took a prominent part in the Presidential campaign four years ago. I have letters of commendation from the biggest men of the Nation-including President Taft. I am now opposed to the re-nomination of Mr Taft and so stated the other Sunday night when I came home. Before I came home there were a few disgruntled members of my congregation angered because of my long stay in Pittsburgh and sought to ask the presiding elder to remove me. They sadly failed. So, when I gave out my Moosevee's statement, a Democratic newspaper, knowing of this attempt, coupled the same with my statement and sent it broadcast over the country. I had a large congregation yesterday and can say: No man in the country is moral, popular with his church than I am with Grave A. M. I. church, this city. Respectfully. J. G. ROBINSON. Thoreau's Philosophy I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than to be crowded on a velvet cushion. — Thoreau Where Evil Came In. Husband (meditating upon the bope belt)—God made woman, but the leav certainly makes the new styles —Judge Read Bennie Neiman's Ad ON PAGE THREE ATTORNEY TRIUMPHS AND T. CASH IS FREE Two District Attorneys Fight For the Commonwealth in Great Murder Case. JURY OUT JUST 8 MINUTES Once more the Negro Attorney demonstrated his ability at the local bar. Attorney Robt. L. Vann, who was appointed by the court to defend the famous Tom Cash, more than triumphed over the two district attorneys who handled the case for the Commonwealth. The plea made to the jury was styled as one of the most eloquent ever delivered in the local courts. The jury remained out but eight minutes, when they returned with a verdict of "not guilty." When the verdict was announced the spectators in the court actually "yelled out" as evidence of the wonderful triumph. When the confusion was cleared, the defendant was taken out upon the shoulders of his friends, who had been brought by Attorney Vann from as far as Morrison, Va. The loyalty of his friends was remarkable. Seldom have Negroes been seen to rally to the aid of their own as they did in the Cash case. Attorney Vann says it is evidence of an increasing harmony among the race. As soon as the prisoner was discharged by the court he was taken out and provided with an overcoat, purchased by his attorney and furnished comfortable quarters in one of the local hotels. On the following day Attorney Vann took his client to the train and bade him farewell. After the prisoner was formally arraigned and the plea of not guilty entered the selection of the jury was taken up. Assistant District Attorney Richard W. Martin has-charge of the prosecution, while Attorney Rokert L. Vann was appointed by the court to defend the prisoner. The crime for which the defendant was tried took place at a railroad construction camp at Unity, on August 21, 1897, during the period of what was known as the reign of terror owing to many murders being committed at that place. It is alleged that Kelly and Cash were participants in a crap game, during which an argument arose over the payment of a bet. It is claimed Cash whipped out his revolver and shot Kelly. Judge John C. Haymaker was district attorney at the time, and Heber McDowell, coroner. The latter is the prosecutor. It was an alleged conversation in a cell in the Kingston, N. Y., jail with a fellow prisoner, during which it is claimed he told that he had killed a man in Pennsylvania by the name of Kelly, 14 years ago, that led to his arrest in the present case. The prisoner whom Cash is alleged to have told of the killing, and another witness who overheard his remarks, were in court and they were called as witnesses in addition to an eye witness to the murder of Kelly, at Unity, Pa., August 21, 1897. The defense has a number of witnesses who declare the prisoner is not Thomas Cash. When Cash was arraigned on the charge of murder he entered a plea of not guilty. He was poorly dressed, wearing an old pair of trousers and a blue jumper coat, the clothes he was wearing when he was arrested some time ago. At the time of his arrest by County Detective James McGinley and George Murren he denied all knowledge of having killed anyone in this county. The following jury was selected: Charles Grounds, blacksmith, Ross township, foreman, George R. Porter, clerk, Seventh ward; Adam Hickman, clerk, Dravosburg; Thomas Mallasse, farmer, Pum township; P. A. Todd, retired, Braddock; Edward Brooks, farmer, Franklin township; S. W. Walker, carpenter, Verona; Edward Hedeen, operator, Penn township; George Meister, cigar maker, twenty-fourth ward; William C. Degelman, clerk, Snowden township; Andrew Fledler, glass cutter, Nineteenth ward; S. C. Charters, grocer, Fourteenth ward. AFRICAN STUDENT MAKES HIGH MARK Among the successful graduates from the Birmingham university, England, recently was George Debays Agbeib of Lagos, west coast of Africa, nephew of Dr. Majola Agbeib of Lagos, who stood third in a class of fifty-seven, composed of Chinese, Japanese, East Indians, Scotch and English students. Mr. Agbeib will take up civil engineering as a profession. He holds splendid testimonials from his professors, who speak of his accomplishments in the highest terms. Mr. Agbeib is a polished young man and made some strong friendships among his Japanese and Chinese classmates and before setting down to his profession will very probably spend some time in the orient visiting these friends. TANNER BRANDS REPORTS FALSE. HE HAD APPLIED Many Good Men in Church Who Would Have Taken Job. Asks For Square Deal I desire to set myself squarely before the Church in reference to my candidacy for the position as editor of the Mother Organ, the Christian Recorder. It has been commonly reported that when the present incumbent, Rev. Prof. Wright, was given charge of the paper there was no one else who would have the position. Prof. Wright himself said, "I came into the breach when a man was needed. I was unknown but men better known than I did not step in. (See Recorder, January 11, 1912.) Clearly there is but one construction to be placed upon such language as this, especially since he asked that he be allowed to "enjoy some of the condition which by a hard struggle I helped to create." That inference is that others now seek to deprive him of that which formerly they would not have. Now, I admit that Brother Wright has done well as the manager of the Recorder and had he the necessary experience in the Church, could do well editorially, but I do wish to correct the false impression made upon the general Church, that he was the only one who would have the position at the time it became vacant. To my certain knowledge there were a dozen men in the Church who would have gladly accepted the place and several actually did make application, but to some uninfluence they did not get the place. I was one among the number who made application through Bishop Gales, the then president of the Board, and through Bishop A. Grant, whom I considered my life-long friend, to be given a chance as editor or as managing editor. But Bishop Gales felt that Brother Wright was the one to have the position. Being the President of the Publication Board the other Bishops yielded to him—some however with a protest. I do not consider that Brother Wright does me or such other aspirants Drs. S. P. Hood, H. H. Pinkney, Joshua Jones, J. G. Robinson, J. A. Jones or Lincoln Gales, justice or that he asserts the truth when he even implies that none of us would have the work which he accepted. Neither I nor the others did "step in," because we were not allowed to step in. Let us have the square deal; let us pair fair, gentlemen. The deserving man in this old Church of ours will get what he is entitled to with out misrepresenting his brethren. For twenty years I have labored in different parts of the Church, on missions, in large stations, in the foreign field. Men must be willing to get in line and work their way patiently to the front rank and not depend upon favoritism or political deals to land them over the heads of their toiling and deserving fellows. The spirit of the Church is a free chance for all and the certain reward of faithful service. Three years ago I was a candidate, when the Council met at Jacksonville I was a candidate and will be so until the results are tod at Kansas City in May. Respectfully soliciting the support of all who believe in "tofing fair."

Frederick Bancroft, New York, Observation in Fond, From Slaveboy in Whiteman. MAN OF PRINCELY VINTUES Great men are always a part of a great movement. They are called into the world to play an important part in the arena of thought and action. Few of them, however, are blessed with the span of life which enables them to witness the triumphant consummation of their cause, as was the case of Frederick Douglass. But for the birth of Frederick Douglass in Tuckahoe, Md., in 1847, that obscure village in Talbot county would hardly be known. His early surroundings were such as characterized every slave boy who witnessed the inhuman treatment of fellow slaves and heard stories of the capture of their foreparents in Africa. The events in the life of Douglass, his transference to Baltimore, to St. Michael's; his experience with the "slave breaker" Edward Covey and his escape from slavery in 1838, when he assumed the name of "Douglass," partly to hide his identity and partly as a "milestone" in his new life of freedom, are well known. His lectures under the Anti-slavery society at conventions and private gatherings, both in America and Europe; his publication of his newspapers; his "life narrative," "My Bondage and My Freedom," his "Life and Times," place Frederick Douglass before the American public, and indeed before the world, as one of its effective teachers. Some will deny him the title, saying that he was not a product of the schools; that he kept no school and could not in any sense be called an educator. If by an educator is meant one whose activities are confined to the narrow regimen of the schoolroom Douglass was not an educator, but if we mean by the term one who carries within himself the princely virtues of the great teachers of mankind, who is an inspiration to all men by his words and work, who had knowledge and sympathy, interest, enthusiasm and aptitude for vicariousness, then Frederick Douglass was in every way an educator. He believed in the potentiality of every child born into the world, whether white or black. He believed that God had not bestowed his best endowments upon any single race or nation, and so he wrought for himself and his race to make actual what was potential. Mr. Donglass, like a true educator, was a man of large vision. Where there is no vision the people perish. Brutalized himself by American slavery, he sought to aid in the overthrow of the inquisitous system. When, therefore, the opportunity presented itself he threw himself with enthusiasm into the anti-slavery struggle and lost no opportunity to teach men its horrors and to rouse them to its hatred by his burning words. In England and America he pleaded his own and the cause of his people with weeping words and eloquent tears and became perhaps the mightiest single force in teaching the inquisites of slavery because he had been a part of it. Douglas believed in his selfhood and in his own possibilities, and out of the horrors of slavery he tried to rehabilitate the divine image stamped upon him. He made his good instincts self conscious. He taught lofty notions of personal, social and political life. He was discontented with whatever was on a low plane. He reached the mountain heights because he soared like an eagle that bathes its wings in the noonday sun. No one could see Frederick Douglass, with his head rising "like a snow capped peak" above those about him, without feeling the influence of his presence. Frederick Douglass was never ashamed of his color. He believed in his black mother, his dark hued wife and attributed much of his success to his contact with them. He believed that he was part of a great race whose development had been retarded by mtoolward conditions, but who when their chains were once broken and their complete emancipation insured would rise up and demonstrate the divinity with which they were clothed. Douglass, like every true educator, was an honest patriot. He loved his country. When the civil war broke out he offered his two sons to his country's cause, while he himself served it with his elegance. For these services he was honored. For years he was the most famous character in the District of Columbia, serving as United States marshal, later as recorder of deeds and afterward as minister plenipotentiary to Haiti. While in Haiti differences arose between himself and the state department about the methods of acquiring the Mole St. Nicholas, and rather than sacrifice his manhood Douglass cabled his commission to the president and returned in glory to the banks of the Potomac. He may have failed in diplomacy, but he had retained his self respect. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE COURIER. Mrs. Harrie Terry and son, Gilbert or Kittanning, are visiting Mrs. Bertha Carter of Eagle street.

Women's Clubs The Aurora Reading club met at the home of Mrs. Wm. Writt in Deniston avenue on Wednesday, March 6. This meeting was unique in its THE COURIER entertainment for the fact that an anti-suffraget meet and talked with the members on the much-discussed subject. Miss Sara Writt sang Harry Burleigh's beautiful songs, "Jean" and the "Rosary" by Neville, *Miss Julia Marlowe Harding*'s talk was informal, and, being a servant anti-suffraget, was very interesting. She said in part: "Limited suffrage, which means limited to people who own property, is one of the question." She said she was quite in favor of suffragism at one time, but the more she thought of it the more she became convinced, of the serious effect it would have upon women; and of what a dangerous thing it would be to give them the privilege of voters. "Taxation without representation," which is one of the arguments in favor of voting, is from the French Revolution, and has been misunderstood, although we do not often hear of it now. But in New York and Massachusetts they have dropped that argument because there is no government that has held that the government that has held one to vote for it. Marchall of Virginia, says: "Franchise it a privilege, and not a right." Elihu Root says: "It is a means of conducting the government." "You vote for the men and not the measure. I do not believe you can vote things into existence; for example, clean streets, police service, etc. When men and women get into politics there, is bound to be differences. It would divide families." English suffragetts are becoming obnoxious, which is truly exemplified in the recent reports of the past few days from London. "How will our best women take up this matter?" Our best men usually do not go into politics. In closing, Miss Harding read selections from the writing of Ida Tarbell. The Emma J. Moore Literary and Aid Circle met at the residence of Mrs. Anna Alexander, 635 Hollace street, on March 6, inst., at which time business of much importance was transacted after which a lunch-eno was served by the hostess, appetizing to all present.

Let us encourage race pride by patronizing Negro enterprises. Jessey Hamsley, chiorer of the A. M. E. church choir, Edward Hartman, W. T. Young, Robert Williams and Clarence Chinn, met at the parsonage recently and organized the Manhattan Glee club. Such an organization has been a long-felt need among our people here and ought to be heartily supported. The business men among colored people in Meadville are Samuel Pratt, exCouncilman, the baker, Robt. Williams and Amos Stevenson, barber. These men are energetic, industrious and courteous to their patrons. Success to them. The man who counts is the man who is decent and makes himself felt as a force for decency, for cleanliness, for civic righteousness. A great deal of interest is being manifested in the Jubilee concert to be given at Bethel church, March 21, under the auspices of the Manhattan Glee club. The main feature of this entertainment will be the ladies drawing numbers with the names and ages of the gentlemen will be required to pay a penny for each milestone the gentlemen have reached. The pastor, Rev. P. E. Paul occupied the pulp, morning and evening. Sunday. Chas. A.

NESBIT A TRAGEDY OF EXPRESSION His face fell as he saw her come— What wonder that his cheeks were pale And that his heart was cold and numb And that his self-control should fail? His face fell, as he just stood His face fell, as he just stood And well she knew she turned his head, For then and there she caught his eye. She flung a word at him, she did; He listened to it with a sigh; Within his hands his face had hid in his hand and massed him by; And well she knew she turned his head, For then and there she caught his eye. She flung a word at him, she did; He listened to it with a sigh; Within his hands his face had hid in his hand and massed him by; And well she knew she turned his head, For then and there she caught his eye. She swept away, all dignified; He followed her with pleading cry; We do not know just what he cried, But doubtless he wished back his eye. For 'twas a sorry thing, indeed. That such a mishap should occur— She'd caught, his eye, you see, when he Have more than half a look at her. His face fell—Ah, what did he care? He did not catch it as it dropped. With such a face for him to wear Small wonder that she never stopped. But simply went along her way As damsels dignified should sigh— She caught his eye, we must say. Much as though it were made of glass Alas! Because his face thus fell It broke upon the stony ground; The lady turned then, truth to tell, She sorrowed crumpled and He pressed that she dread should slog For his face crushed upon the sands; She said: "Ah, no, a knell I'll ring." And so she sweetly wrenched her hands. A LITTLE EABLE. A Beautiful young lady, being Engaged to a Handsome young man, abught to reform him. "I observe," she said, "that you are Addicted to the Foolish Habit of Smoking. Do you not think you should stop it? It would be so much Better for you if you did. Besides you would save Money." "Yes, indeed," replied the Handsome young man. "And I Perceive that you are a Slave to the Chocolate Caramel Habit. Which is not only Ruminous to the Digestion, but Expensive. Don't you Think you should Stop it, also?" Whereupon she wept and said he was a Hateful thing, and broke the Engagement. Moral—It is not Always the largest Feet that are Pinched the Most. SHE WAS SENSITIVE. "Your face is like an open book," sighed Mr. Softelgh to Miss Gooph, accompanying the remark with what he thought was his most winning smile. "I If had as big a mouth as yours I would not talk about other people's." sniffed the young lady as she flounced out of the room, thus teaching the young man to cling to the good old unmistakable taffy-talk when he desires to be complimentary. Jas. and the Gas. Jas. and the Gas. A tender young fellow named Jas., Said: "I admire athletic gas., But as football is played I am simply dismayed At the way that it cripples and mas." Marine Note. The new reporter had been assigned to a "feature story" on the incidents of seafaring life, and discovered this interesting note: "Captain Yardarm of the schooner Blue Blazes found himself in a peculiar predicament off the coast of Florida last Saturday morning. Friday night the ship encountered a violent gale, which blew away the wake of the vessel, and it required the hardest efforts of the night watch to arouse the sleeping crew that morning." Political Advice. "My boy," said the Wily Politician, "take the advice of one who knows, and do not seek that office. You will find it only an empty, barren honor." "Besides," said the Wily Politician, after the young man had thanked him and left, "I want that office myself." Why It Dropped. Dobley—Our thermometer dropped ninety degrees this morning.

Is crime on the increase? If not, what was the cause of its reduction? What is the sanitary condition? What effort, if any, has been made to improve the sanitary condition? Is the death rate increasing? To what extent do you co-operate with the Civic Improvement Leagues? Has settlement work been conducted to any extent in your community, and with what results? What has been the effect of Temperance Organizations, and have you co-operated with them? To what extent has the work of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. been effective in your community? Do you approve them? What is the general fitness of the city and country school teacher? What has been the attitude of the day-school teacher toward the Church and Sunday School? What is the real religious condition of your people? Revivals, how conducted?

Reinforced Concrete of Old Rome. Although concrete has been used for many centuries, it is generally supposed that reinforced concrete is a modern invention. This, however, has been disproved, according to Popular Mechanics by the finding of bronze reinforcing rods in the concrete roof of an ancient Roman tomb, and in the discovery of reinforced concrete in the construction of one of the walls of the old palace of the Louvre, Paris. The reinforced concrete in the latter dates back only 300 or 400 years, but created much more cement than the rest, and consist entirely of asphalt and quarry stone. The discovery that the stone casing concealed a core composed in part of reinforced concrete was made while workmen were piercing the wall for an elevator installation. Yellow Jackete Held Steeple A contractor and three carpenters were painfully stung, when they climbed to the top of the First Baptist church, in New Castle, Del., recently, to make repairs to the roofs. Thousands of yellow jackets had made their home in the belfry, and they resented the intrusion and drove the men to the ground. One of the men made his way to the belfry and with paper closed all exists by which the insects could escape. Then he placed four sulphur candles under the cupola and lighted them. After the candles had burned out enough dead insects were found to fill a peach basket to overflowing, and the carpenters then resumed work on the church roof.
