Bella Mackinnon, an unmarried woman, aged 49, has sued a colored doctor for bresch of promise in the Edinburg court of session. The defendant, Joseph Skeele Meyers Nurse, is 42 yearsold and a native of Barbados. He now lives at St. Kitts, in the West Indies. Hl former residence was York Mansion, Battersea Park, London. Miss Mackfnnon was a friend of Miss Wilson, who, in 1891, married the black doctor. They went to the West Indies and two yeara later the wife died. The colored doctor then began acorrespondence with Bella Mackinnon, and in 1895 he returned to Edinburgh, Miss Maokinnon met him at the station and he stayed ather house asa bsarder from Febuary until May. He went to the West Indies once more and the affectionate oorrespondence _be- tweon the Scottish spinster and the Negro was resumed. By the first mail he wrote: “Dearest Bella—I could not bet this day pass without sending you a line, as promised, I was greatly grieved at leaving you, and often wondered what you were about. I missed you loving attention at suppertime last nightand at break- fast this morning. I know you will have miesed me but you must be brave. With fondest love and kiss- en, believe me to be ever yours effectionately, Joe.” Other letters full of tenderness followed. In 1898 Miss Macken- non wasthocked by receiving from her black lover a photograph ef himselfand three women. The lord justice clerk observed that there wae safely in numbers, but the spin- ster plaintifftook a different view of the matter She wrote an indig- nant letter to Nurse. In January, 1904, the eon of Ham | wrote that his Scottish friend did not seemthe sameas on his last visit, “It would be a great sin to take you like a lilsand let you droop and die ina strange and. It seems you are hysterical, and I could not be engaged to a hysterical lany. Marriageisathing for life, and must not be entered into unless after due consideration,” he wrote, A month later the Negro doctor married another woman, One ol Miss Mackinaon’s broth: er’s admitted that he objected to his sister marryinga Negro, Dam- ages tothe amount of $7,500 were sought. This is believed to be the first time on record that a white woman hassued a Negro for breach of promiso. The jury awarded her $3,500," A white woman sues and gets judgement against a colored doctor for preach of promise, Loveisa mighty tough proposition and has no favor ofperaon. Itis like death when it meetsitsvictim, No resist ance camcepel it whether it be white or colored. We think the doctor should have married the lady after winning her heart snd not to break tatterwards. We think $2,000 is little ennagh, The white newspa- pers of America think this is awful but when you look the mater up they find that United States is the only county onthe globe that dis- criminate aginst the Negro, The}: white man has all the rights and pmoluments of the government for pimself, Reneam’a Tels. Since leaving my home, I had the good pleasure of visiting the Indian Missbon conference at Wagoner, I. T., presided over by that matchless leader and gospel preacher, Bishoy Evans Tyree, D. D. M. D., whe kt ows how to treat his brethren and how toentertain visitors. The A. M.E church made no mistake ir electing to the bishopric His Rey: erence, Tyree, for his loving &ind: ness towards his brethren and his open cae bo the humblest minister o! his conferences has demonstrated his fitness for the place. Among the leaders of the Indian Mission conference are Revs.C. R. Tucker, J. £1, Toombs, J. D. Spring: er, M. W. Martin, Dr. Porter, J. IL Walton J. W, Morris, I. H. Hawkins and othess who are doing great work forthe A. M. E. church and their race, They are teaching our people to hold on to their lands and not to be deluded into selling and thus be- ing robbed out of what God and na- tureintended should be theirs by means of this government, The Negroes of Wagoner, like those of many other towns in the territory, are doing well. They are engaged in almost every kind of business that the white man is en- gagedin. Mr. Smith, who runs a department store, Is doing a big husiness. We had the honor, while attending this conference, of being the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Bolie Davies, who own’s one of the prottiest reatdences in the city; and Bishop | Tyree, Rev, J. W, Rankin, D. D., P. E. of Texas, C, H. Collett, D. D., business manager of the Book Con- cern of Phila., Pa., Prof. H. T. Reat- ing of the Review, of Phila.. with the writer, could not have been better pleased anywhere in the territory for Mrs. Davis is a splendid enter- tainer, She formerly lived in Olathe, Kan, and was known as Susan Rol- lics, Among the other visitors to the conference was Rev. J. M, Carner of Arkansas. astrong and forcible speaker, and one to be reckoned with tor the bishopricin 1903, Collett of the Book Concern and Kealing of the Review represented their departments, showing the work they're doing, andjW.F.J, Sherman, of Nashville, Tenn, represented the Sunday Union to better than it ever was before to the knowledge of the writer, We represented the Voice of Missions and the Home and For- eign Missionary department aad the Western Christian Record. They are building a nice, frame church, which when completed will be accredit to any city in the terri- tory, The ministers and people of the Fort Scott district say that they will takethe Negro paper which best sepresents the interests of thelr race aud churches. Tho one that fights their battles, rather than wage war against them, May I not say right here, that the minutes for the Kansas conter> ree are out sooner this year then for many years.

The Cavalry Drill, Atleast 5,000 grown people and children witnessed the drill and ma neuvere of the Ninth cavalry at Fil. teenth and Paseo one day this week. The Negro population was in the majority, The Third Regiment band discoursed music throughout the entire drill, white a Negro band followed the line of march down Fifteenth strect, playing popular and national airs, A full drill was given, including the skirmishing movements dis mounted. The work of the troopers was perfect. The command that pleased the spectators was*'Return aabers," when overy saber was re- turned to its sheath almost simulta: neously, So porfect wes the action of this command that it brought forth great applause from the spec: tators. After the drill was over the troopers marched down Fifteenth street, passing the Manual high school and the Chase school, —Kan- sas City Jourasl. KANSAS POLITICS AND POLITICIANS! Senator Burton and the order for another trial, have been busy with “the Burton crowd” and the prow: pectof itx return to activity in politics in the event of the Senator aujuittal. ‘This fills space and. the several correspondents make good reading of it, but there uo longer ina “Burton crowd” and there has aot been since Senator Burton orig: inally was indicted and afterward convicted by a jury. Without entering into a discussion of the merits of the case, or of the justice ofthe verdict, the very fact that Senator Burton was required to plead to an indictment, upon which & jury nfterward convicted him, scattered the ‘‘crowd" whioh bore his name, and it never will unite again beneath that banner, These men, tho most of them at Icast, still are the Senstor’s friends, but when he fell into the hard lines which now beset him he was strip- ped of leadership, and his follow- ing sincehas formed other alliances, Some have gone to Chas, Curtis, who formerly wes with Burton, Some are hoping TD. W. Mulvane may hoist a flag forthe Senator. ship. Inthe Third district many have taken up with Philip Camp- bell, The most of them are ataunok friends of M, A. Low and would like to help him to Burton's seat inthe Senate, only he will not say the word, and, with isolated exceptions, the main budy of them, sre beginning to show. signs of hooking up with Chester I. Long for the other seat. Senator Burton, no matter what may happen to him inthe federat courts, will goon dead file after the trial indefinitely, If be en- capes conviction, which seems the hope of frienda and focs slike, he will serve out his term in the sen- ate and afterwards return to the quiet of a private citizen and cechew politics. Thies may not be his choice perhaps, butit ix inevitable and nobly realizen it morethan him, self, Indeed, he baa waid to his friends thathe ia out of it, and it is wanton for the few who atill nurse their hatred of him to continue to nag him, Later he may pick up and return toa share in public affairs, but that will not be until new condi- tions of politios exist in Kansas, a new alligument of political relations and the introduction of new iesuca inthe country, One writer nays Senator Burton finally will land with Ta Follette, Bryan and that} crowil of reformers, but to do that Burton would have to turn his back upon his own record, Itia said that he lately haa changed hin viewn| onthe tari? question, and that, if]: he ever gets 8 chance, he will make | that his slogan, Je has made no|| statement of this character publicly | however, and if he inthe shrewd]: man hehas the credit of heing, he| | will notdo so, or do any talking}. whatever for the prevent. Just}: pow, he wants only tobe releaned || [rom the troubles that beset him. || He studiously avoida talking of his | vane to all except to hia lawyers, |; ind is taking no part] in politica, |. hoping thereby to avoid unfair]; sriticiem.

I was advised to do this on the Exch-Townsend bill, and yet the President_now, in his Raleigh epeech, takes a position that cen. flicta with that measure. I do not know what the recommendation of the President to Congress on this aubjoct will be, nor do you; yet you ask me, in advance, to say that I shall agree with everything ho may recommend. 1 decline to abdicate orsbift my responsibility on this measure to the President of the United States, or to any other person. You will hold me rcapon. sible for my vote inthe Senate, and I cannot evade it hereafter. 1 be: lieve you do not want your senator to represent the opinion of rome oneelre, but to vote his own judg: ment after careful consideration of the measure; and that is what I propoveto do. It has been my good fortune to bo somewhat closely aenociated with the President of the United States, I admire him greatly for his wish to secure legis- lstion that will relieve the people from conditions which are not right.” Senator Long said he ia willing snd ready to vote for a fair bill, but ie declines te be driven into voting for an unconatitutional onc, He ix eked to ‘get right with the Presi- lent,” but he points out that the President has modified hin views ery much since the Kuch-Town- end bill waa written, and nobody ill know what the Executive will, avor until the recommendation in pritten and delivered to Congross, oo J.B, Betts of Topeka, a state enotor, has been awarded ahe con- ract for buildiug the new Marion Jountycourt house, Je was not he lowest bidder and hin time Howance forthe completion of the jouseiuna until 1907, Thisisa iberal contract and Senator Betts f course, in properly grateful. peaking of «traws, how many trawe does it take to make a vigor- us, boon for United States Sena- or, oo The county attorney of Mont. omery county is driving out the lotmachines.

A laborer or mechanic, pas-| pgfrom bie work, will lose his arda game and the man wh invented it is a thief, 0° Itis she judgment of the wise men that Senator Long will recom: mend the reappointmentof Jobn 3, Dean to be United States district attorney. It scemn that in the bor buster campaign, when E,W. Hock wanin a wavery frame of mind, Mr. Dean performed, or tried to perform, a werviee for Governor Bailey, and the obligation now hobs up for Senator Long to take care of. Another reappointment will be that of General Motealf to be United Staten pension agent. Thero ie a littl opposition to Gen- cral Metcalf, but no candidate has appeared against him, and since be inthe President's personal friend Senator Long is expected to in- dorse bim for reappointment. It goes without saying, that J. M.

This was shown by the hooting when onc of their men was put out for slugging. ‘This game will be made an annual affair and it is hoped thata better support will be given them by the people of Kansas City.

ARM MISCHEAN Grain for Bread. Samples of shrunken wheat are being submitted to us by persons residing in the rust stricken belt. These persons ask whether it will be safe to sow such grain for seed the coming year. It is very proper that they should ask this question and it is especially important that it should be answered with intelligent discrimination. During a trip that we made the third week in August over the wheat growing area in the northern part of the state we noticed that some of the wheat was so shrunken that it was not worth outting. In some localities the stands were fairly good. The variations ran all the way from No. 1 down to wheat that was really unfit to make good food for chickens. We have so doubt whatever but that such grain sown for seed will not give good results. It will be found quite practicable in many instances to so winnow the shrunken wheat that the very light material will all be blown out of it. The best sample obtainable, therefore, from the crop should usually answer for sowing next season. One difficulty is in the way however. Many farmers are not possessed of a fanning mill, so prevalent has the custom become to take wheat direct from the machine. Every farmer ought to have a fanning mill for such work—Farm and Fresida. The Destructive Rat. Housewives in the country sometimes complain that poultry raising is a great care on account of the losses that occur among the young chicks largely due to the presence of rats. The ra. is far harder to hedge against than the cat. A good strong partition to the poultry house or a good wire fence around the poultry yard will keep out cats, but these have little effect in checking the deprudations of rats. They can gnaw through the partition and tunnel under the wire fence and do the work so expeditiously that the damage to the flock is done before the farmer has had time to take combative measures. Then when he begins to fight the rodents he finds that the process is not a smooth one. The animals avoid the steel trap and the wire cage. Poison is the only thing that seems to be effective, and the farmer hesitates about employing this, as he is afraid of hurting other animals. But this method of destruction will be found to be about the only effective one if the rats are very numerous. If poison is used it should be placed where only the rats can get access to it. Wool, Clip Contracted. Dealers in, wool seem to have no fears of a decline of wool prices for another year at least. In various western states dealers, have already been closing contracts for next year's wool clip at from seventeen to twenty cents per pound and seem willing to take all they can get at those figures. While many farmers have sold their next year's crop on such terms as these some are willing to wait until spring to dispose of their clip, taking the chances on the price going down. They don't consider there is much risk to run when buyers are so anxious to contract so far ahead, and prefer to take chances rather than to sell now and likely to regret making the agreement before shearing time. The farmer who breeds and raises good sheep may be pretty sure of reaping some good profits from both his wool and mutton during the next few years. The sheep business certainly has a bright outlook at the present time. Season's Potato Yield. Revised returns justify the estimate of an average yield of 110.4 bushels of potatoes this year, instead of 100 bushels, as stated in the last number. The average yield for the previous ten years was 81 bushels making the present a bumper year for this crop. Maine is credited with the largest average acre yield, 215 bushels. The Southern states had from 81 to 80 bushels, except Florida, which grew 102 bushels Iowa's yield was 196 bushels and Wisconsin's 126, both extremely good for this country. The average of the old New England states is higher than in the same number of newer western states—Farm, Stock and Home. Our Butter Abroad. The government has been making weekly experimental exports of the best quality of creamy butter to Manchester, England, continuing previous practical tests of the merits of each butter from the United States in comparison with the highest grades of butter from other countries to be found in British markets. The results as stated by the butter man of the dairy division have been, in a general way, quite favorable, but not such as to encourage commercial operations along the same line at the present price of butter in the United States—Bernum's Midland Farmer. No Lime On Manure. It is a mistake to put lime in the manure heap, for it destroys the calls of ammonia, and by composing it to take the gaseous form drives it off. Lime will rot manure very quickly and do its work well, but it will be at the expense of a loss of nitrogen, which is an ingredient of ammonia, says the Farm Journal, and its good authority. A Living Monument. If we were to assemble all those who have been cured of heart disease by Dr. Miles' Heart Cure, and who would to-day be in their graves had not Dr. Miles' been successful in perfecting this wonderful heart specific, they would populate a large city. What a remarkable record—a breathing, thinking, moving monument, composed of human lives,—that for which every other earthly possession is sacrificed. The Miles Medical Co. receive thousands of letters from these people like the following: "I feel indebted to the Dr. Miles' Heart Cure for my life. I desire to call the attention of others to my suffering. I did to an unpleasant remedy for the heart. For a long time I had suffered from shortness of breath after any little exertion, palpitation of the heart and at times terrific pain in the region of the heart, so serious that I feared that I would some time drop dead upon the street. One day I came to the circus, and immediately went to the organs, and purchased two bottles of the Heart Cure, and took it according to directions, with the result that I am entirely cured. Since then I never miss an opportunity to recommend this remedy to my friends who have heart trouble; in fact I am a traveling advertisement for I am widely known in the locality. J. I.

WASHINGTON'S visit to the Indian Territory will no doubt be an inspiration to the Negroes of that section to keep their lands and endeavor to accumulate more. Gov. Hoch looks wise and tells the world there is nothing the matter with Kansas. We wonder if he has forgotten the late seprate school bill he provided for Kansas City. That's enough to cause intestinal trouble. A KANSAS Negro the other day bought 1760 acres of land and laid down the cash for it. It looks very much as though the Negro is coming in spite of conditions. Adverse conditions exist only for the cowardly. WE WONDER WHAT THE BENEFIT COMES IN. Minister Powell was relieved from Hayti and Dr. Furniss, council at Bahia was appointed to the place. Then a white man was sent to Bahia. The President might send a Negro to Saint James to even up, but we do not think he will. It is said that a Negro can't remain over night in the town of Syracuse, Ohio, a village of about 2,000 inhabitants. As soon as a colored man hits the town, he is greeted by 25 or 50 boys and given orders to move on. Editor Harry Smith, of the Clevand Gazette should elevate his gun in that direction! SENATOR BURTON is on trial in St. Louis this week for a second time, charged with using his influence to prevent the government from investigating a getrioh-quick concern. Senator Burton has suffered enough humiliation to atone for whatever wrong he may have committed, and it is hoped that he will come clear of the charges. Why crush a man when he is already down? HOW INCONSISTANT to hear some of the papers say that Hooh is enforcing the prohibitary law in Kansas. In Leavenworth and Wichita the saloon doors have never been closed and the Governor has never even hinted at closing them. Yet there are papers in the state with cheek enough to say that Hooh has the "Kid on" in Kansas. LAS VEGAS, N. M. Rev. J. H. Smith is pulling a heavy train, but he is climbing up grade gradually and we believe he will strike the level by a steady pull. He received two surprises—the first being the arrival of his wife and niece, Miss Ethel McNair, from El Paso, Texas, where he was pastor before coming here. Mrs. Smith expresses herself well pleased with the outlook here and enters into the work of assisting her husband in attaining success; the second was a storm which "blowed and snowed" all manner of good things to eat. The storm was headed by Mrs. T. J. Dunlap and a great number followed. Rev. Smith was in Santa Fe on the second Sunday, and he has decided to give one Sunday in each month to that congregation. Mr. and Mrs. Rodgers are new arrivals from Oklahoma. Mr. Wade of Alabama is a guest here for the winter. Born to Mr. and Mrs. J. Smith on the 3rd inst. a girl baby. Both mother and child are getting along nicely. Smith thinks he is the only "papa" in town. JESUS IS THE DOOR TO ETERNAL LIFE, THERAPEORY GIVE HIM THE PRAISE. It is the church of Christ, which is commanded to go teach and baptize. Now any Christian who fails to talk a little for our Lord don't think very much of Him. By examining the instruction given to the early church in the new testament by Jesus Christ, we understand that Christ meant for the gospel to be heralded to every nation. Then these believers be baptized and perfectly trained in the knowledge of the truth and endowed with the spirit, which is called a sanctifying or cleaning or making holy, which is a purifying from the old primitive mode of sin. And now, don't you slander the words "sanctify" and "holy" any more, but stand up for them yourself, and don't be puffed up against the holy Christians who have hazarded their life for your soul's benefit. Remember, whenever a person renounces his or her will or way and takes up the Lord's way and do His will, then the higher life begins; but you must not stop there. Let forward in righteousness be the standard and grow in grace until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. If you do not grow in grace you can not bear much fruit. The fear of God, with the keeping of God's word, is what makes the Christian blessed. Our faith in Christ must be more than an outward show. We must love Christ from the depths of our souls and let that love for Him be first and last, and for that kind of love our Master will reward us abundantly. —John Harrison, SALINA, KANS. The Dunbar Art club met with Mrs. Arthur P. Rosemond, the president, last Thursday, and after a pleasant session a dainty lunch was served.

LINCOLN INSTITUTE The Missouri State Dairy association held its annual meeting in Jefferson City Nov. 15-17, and the faculty and students, by invitation, attended the Wednesday evening session and listened with much pleasure to the address of the evening on "The American Queen" by Mrs. N. K. Jones of Kalamazoo, Mich., formerly of the State Agricultural college of Manhattan, Kas. The lecture was a rare treat. Mrs. Jones emphasized the value of domestic science, home making or household economics as a part of the school curriculum. Coming soon in the lecture course after "The American Boy," it gave an opportunity to compare both sides of a great subject—the education of the boy and of the girl for the duties of life. The institute male quartet received a cordial invitation to sing before the association on Thursday night and, accepting, its members covered themselves and the institution with glory. Friday morning several of the officers and leading spirits of the association visited the school and addressed the faculty and students assembled in the auditorium. They were encouraging in tone, conveying, as they did, the good will and wishes of the citizens of Missouri from the governor down. November 14th, at Sportsman's park, Kansas City, Lincoln's Tigers defeated the Kansas university team by a score of 11 to 0. The excellent playing of our boys, their knowledge of teochnichalities, their skill, etc., received hearty commendation on all sides and reflected much credit on their coach, Prof. West. Saturday the Tigers will play the George R. Smith college team at Boonville, completing the season on Thanksgiving day at St. Louis in a game with the Chicago Maroons. Dr. Allen, several members of the faculty and a number of the lady students accompanied the team to Kansas City. The crowd out to witness the game was made up of representative citizens of Missouri and Kansas. Carriages, automobiles, etc., were in evidence, all going to show that the Negro is rapidly adapting himself to the Anglo-Sixon civilization. Dr. Lackey, formerly surgeon for Marmaduke Military academy at Sweet Springs, Mo., has offered a perpetual gold medal to the young lady of the senior class who has the highest marks for scholarship, the first award to be made to the class of '06.

Rider made a flying trip to Muskogee last week on business. Rev. J. C. Hicks, while in the city last week, accompanied by his brother, J. E. Hicks, visited in the Blue Jacket vicinity last Thursday. Mrs Aunie Allen is teaching at Blue Jacket. The Willing Workers of the A. M. E. church gave an oyster supper Thursday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Josh Holt, and a neat sum was realized. Invitations were issued last week by the Pleasant Hour club for a grand reception Thanksgiving at Rider hall. Rev. J. D. Springer of Ardmore, ex-pastor here, preached a soul stirring sermon at the A. M. E. church last Thursday evening, and after the service a pound party was given to Rv. A. H. Hawkins, which made the pots boil very strong on Friday. Rev. Berry, an evangelist of the Missionary Baptist church, preached a noble sermon at the First Baptist church Sunday evening. Andy Rider sold his cab line last week to a white man and this same white man has already refused to let colored people ride. The line is drawn and the driver will make dates to haul Ham, but forget to fill the engagement. It is likely that D. Hicks will put on a new cab line. He is already in the livery business and it would cost but little more to operate a cab line. Charley Shepard, sick for so long, died Sunday. The funeral was held at the A. M. E. church, conducted by Rev. A. H. Hawkins, assisted by Revs. C. J. Jennings and J. C. Hicks. He leaves a host of friends and relatives to mourn his death. A large audience was out last Sunday evening to hear Rev. J. C. Hicks preach at the A.M. E. church. Mr. Samuel Fjax and Miss Esther Turner were united in the bonds of holy matrimony last week. Dr. A.

Blouses or Shirt Waist Suitable for All Materials—Skirt With Shirred or Plain Yoke—Velvet Ribbon Trimming—Hints for the Home. Popular Separate Bloyees Again and again it has been prophecied that the separate blouses must be put one side, but as yet practical women will not give them up. The labe-tween blouses, dressy enough for the theater or luncheons, but high-necked and long sleeved, seem to get prettier and prettier. The loveliest of them all are made of those exquisite flowered silks—with shadowy flowers that fade in out of the background in so arti- tle a way. Those exquisite soft crepes with flower prints are charming draped and trimmed with tiny hand- ran tucks, or puffigs, or lace. Soft drapy silks are very good—but so are stiff silks, and a combination of both. The soft chiffon failles, in exquisitely soft shades of pink, or blue, or violet, make up into beautiful blouses. But, besides silk, soft fine woolen stuffs—mostly white, are being used a great deal. Albatross, silk-and-wool stuffs, soft wool crepes and a dozen others are made up into as attractive Mouses, in their way, as the silks are in theirs. Magnificent Evening Coat. One of the novelties of the season in the way of an evening coat is cut on the lines of a mandarin's coat, richly embroidered in colors and gold thread and lined throughout with Chinese sable. This sable is even rarer than the Russian fur and is less expensive. It has a very long nap and is in two distinct colors, a rich mouse gray near the pelt and cinnamon brown at the tip. Among the newest evening coats are those made of flowered satins and silks. They are quite full around the skirts and profusely decorated with lace and touches of fur. WHILE THE TEA DEBES Bolero lines, to be at all modish, must cling close to the figure. One handsome black velvet gown had applique of white kid for trimming. Moleskin will certainly be worn by those who purchased garments thereof last winter. Broad bows of pink and blue velvet, covered with glittering sequins, are shown for the hair. A questionable fad is a slender watch chain encircling the wrist and suspending the watch is front. Silk belts that match the gown are draped tight without buble, delineating the suppleness of the waist. There was never a more favorable time to get out old bits of old trimming and use them to good advantage. Narrow toes have broadened and wide toes have narrowed and the compromise is a sensible and pleasing width. Blouse or shirt Waist. This shirt waist will be found most excellent for all the waistings of the season, cotton, linen, silk and wool, and is as smart as it is simple, besides sulting stout figures well, there being no greater mistake extant than the theory that such are at their best in plain waists. The wide tucks at the front that give ample fullness below the stitchings, and the broad box plait at the center, are both new and desirable, and combine most satisfactorily with the plain back. The model is made of chevet, white with lines of blue, and is worn with a blue linen stock. But this last can be anything one may prefer, or can be omitted altogether in favor of ribbon tied in a big bow, although it really is admi 1 able both for this special waist and as a model for the odd ones of which there can never be too many. The waist is made with fronts and back that are fitted by means of shoulder and under-arm seams and is gathered at the waist line, the back being drawn down smoothly, the fronts made to blouse over the belt. The sleeves are the accepted ones of the season, and are finished with straight cuts, and the shaped stock finishes the neck. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 4% yards 21 inches wide, 4 yards 27 inches wide, or 2 yards 44 inches wide, with 1% yard of any width for stock. Worn at Chicago Horse Show. An effective aid elaborate white gown in India lawn and lace insertion. seen at the Chicago horse show, had a narrow pointed bodice girdles and above the girdle were pads of feen and the material, which fitted the tight fitting lining perfectly. This extended to the line of a yoke, where a lace bertha was set about the shoulders. The sleeves were made of pads of the lawn and lace and ended at the elbow. The hats worn at the hose show were very elaborate, the Gale-borough, Reynolds and Victorian styles predominating. Black hats with colored plumes are much in evidence. Velvets are the rage for evening coats. There are several kinds, and liberty and chiffon velvets are deemed the most desirable.—Chicago Record-Herald. Misses' Skirt with Shirred or Plaid Yoke. Full skirts that fall in soft, graceful folds appear to gain in favor day by day and are peculiarly becoming to young girls. This one can be gathered at the upper edge to form shirrings, or once only and joined to a contrasting yoke, but in either case the fullness is made to form best. ```markdown ``` plaits at the lower edge. The model is made of embroidered batiste, with a band of heavy lace appliqué, but all the pretty soft stuffs—silk, wool, cotton and linen—are equally appropriate. The shirred yoke is much liked and is always pretty when the figure is slender, but when, as often is the case in young girls, additional bulk at the belt is to be avoided, the plain yoke made of lace or of other fancy material is to be preferred. The skirt is cut in one circular piece, straight lengths of the material being sewed together to give the necessary width, and when shirred is arranged over the foundation that also serves for the plain yoke when skirts are not used. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 6½ yards 28 inches wide, 5 yards 27 inches wide or 3½ yards 44 inches wide, with 4½ yards of applique and ½ yard of over lace when roke is used. A Pretty Fail Fashion. A pretty fashion which has been started of late is that of wearing coats of colored velvet or ribbon, one on the left side of the corsage rather high up, and the other on the right side at the waist line. They are large and are generally of a contrasting color so that of the gown with which they are worn. Rosettes of burnt orange velvet make an exceedingly pretty accompaniment to a smart afternoon gown of brown plisse chiffon. With the Housewife To remove rust from steel cover the article with sweet oil and leave it for two or three days, then dust it thickly with finely powdered, unslaked lime and rub till the rust disappears. Lean on juice will remove most stains from the hands and grease from kitchen tables. This being the case, it is well to save the squeezed-out lemons used in cooking for cleansing purposes. Flatirons should be washed every week and always kept in a clerk, or place. Few housekeepers use and indent wax in ironing. Do not allow your frons to become red hot, so they will never again retain the heat. To remove iron stains on mable apply to them a mixture of oxalic acid and methylated spirits, leave it on short time and then rub dry with a soft cloth. Lemon juice will sometimes remove the stains. When winds blow and there is frost in the air put handkerchiefs, collars, socks and all small articles in the wash to dry in a pillow case. The fabric is spared whipping by the wind, they will freeze dry and be quickly gathered for laundry. Millinery. The hat scarf differs from the veil in that it is wound about the hat never over the face. New sea is are of lace in black, white and colors, with embroidery in self color and contrasting colors. Ribbons of all descriptions are to be used upon the new hats. Among the new ribbons are the plaids, the floral, the moire and double-faced curries, satin and taffeta. The high crowns will lead in the large hats, the Directoire and the Guineborough being the most popular. The English round hat will be a favored hat this season. Wrinkle About Portions. To prevent portieres catching underneath the door when opened quickly, narrow a small ring (such as are used for picture frames) into the center of the door frame, to this fasten a blind cord sufficient to reach to bottom of curtain. Put another ring in the center of the door at the top, through the cord through and fasten to the bottom of the curtain, and as the tape is opened so the curtain rises. OBSERVATIONS Interesting Bits Gleaned from Different Sections of the Henderson, Texas has cast another shadow on the already fair(?) name of the state by the lynching of three suspected Negroes. Many of the best daily and weekly papers among the whites have spoken on the side of law and order. The Dallas county Record, a weekly paper published by a Mr. John H. Cullom and son, among other things has this to say about it: "Its a lamentable fact that many of our people are becoming too bloodthirsty, especially when Negroes are charged with crime." Like the fierce jungle tiger of India the taste of blood but whets its appetite for more and there is absolutely no limit to this spirit of blood thirsty lawlessness. Comment i$ $ unnecessary. The very fact that what is here expressed is a sample of the kind of truths that ought be contained in the columns of every paper brings home to us the conviction that there are a few intelligent and unbiased men in the higher walks of life among the whites and if let alone will, with the aid of the Negro of the same stamp, be able to affect a pretty fair solution of the problem now so vexacious to this country. The suit brought by Mrs. Mary Thacker at Flemingburg, Ky. against George Gordon and others for $50,000 for the mobbing of her husband, William Thacker, in 1908 who is said to have killed young Gordon, has caused an unusual sensation because it is alleged in the charge that the jailor and the mob had made "an arrangement." Human demons are still in existence in Georgia. More than three weeks ago, it is alleged a Negro committee rape on a woman in the most fashionable district of Atlanta, but has just a few days ago been apprehended. The sheriff and the husband of the woman pleaded that the law take its course and the poor Negro more dead than alive, now awaits his trial for eternity. Georgia is still an accursed hole of infamy and anarchy. The town of Buxton, Iowa is said to be the only one of the kind in the north. It is governed entirely by Negroes and has a population of 4500 presided over by two justices, two constables and deputy. A colored postmaster dispenses the mail. It has a Y. M. C. A. and a superintendent of schools with a host of other advantages to add to its list. The orderly conduct of its inhabitants creates the impression that Negroes are capable of self government. A move is on foot, headed by Pres. Harvie Jordan of the Southern Cotton Association looking to the institution of measure whereby the farmers are to be booked to hold at least 3,000,000 holes of the present cotton crop. He says one half of the crop has been marketed at a 10 cent price and that the spinners are bound to have the other half for which they are to ask 150s. As the result of the killing of a Negro at Jackson, Miss. the other day by a deputy sheriff after his arrest by that officer, international complications is likely to arise between this country and Great Britian. The Negro killed, proved to be a British subject employed as a sailor on the British Bark Hornet King. Already inquiry has been made by the British Consul, Hon. Mr. Hunt at New Orleans and the grounr for investigation laid before Gov. Vardaman with the understanding that a full and comprehensive statement of the affair be immediately reported. Geronimo, the noted Apache Chief nas objected to the writing of his biography by Supt. S. M. Barrett of the Lawton City schools on the ground that the writer refused to give him a bonus before it is written. His biography would be very interesting reading as well as instructive and should it be found by the Secretary of war to be available Mr. Barret and the worthy old chief ought to be able to rake in a handsome dividend. Report comes from Alton, Mo. that the rogues gallery has been robbed of all the pictures it contained saving that of a Negro. Maybe the reason it was left was because it might aspire to hybernate in the realm of social equality with the others stolen. PUEBLO. COLO. Rev. Harris will leave soon for Canada. Rev. F.

They are divided up in pens of 700 to 800 sheep each, each pen being in charge of a feeder whose business it is to watch them closely. Oct. 11, at the time they were put on feed, they averaged seventy-four pounds each, and during the first three weeks made a gain of two and a half pounds per head per week. The ration is ten pounds of pulp to one-half pound of alfalfa hay per day per head. To this ration it is expected to add a small ration of sugar beet molasses. Experiments last year indicated that the molasses tended to make a firmer flesh, and that sheep fed with it as part of the ration shrunk less in shipping. The sugar company expects to feed during the season approximately 15,000 head of sheep and 500 to 600 head of cattle. The results last year were a profit of 90 cents per head for the pulp feed sheep. Experiments were conducted last year in feeding pulp and alfalfa and corn, with the result that the pulp and alfalfa fed sheep gained from 15 to 25 per cent more than those which received the corn in addition.—Wallace's Farmer. Care of the Bull. In the care of the bull gentlemen is the first consideration. He learns that no one is going to abuse him and he does not look for trouble. Firstly, a bull should be raised right, then there is no trouble. It takes many months to tame a badly raised bull and our advice is to let such a bull alone. Have a small stable or pen by the barn or other convenient place where the bull may be kept. An exercising lot is essential to his health. Brush him off daily and feed him a little grain. Feed only clean hay, and salt should always be before him. Water him regularly. Good service from him is only had by giving him good care. When a bull is kept up and a record is made of each cow bred, all the calves may be saved that bad weather would kill if they came at such times. Have a sort of system about things in the care of FARM MISCELLANY Loss of Boll Nitrogen. The nitrogen of the soil is one of its most important constituents and a fertilizing element that quickly disappears. It volatizes rapidly and one of the chief agents of holding it in the soil is the humus. When the humus becomes exhausted the nitrogen escapes with increased rapidity. Experiments with continuous wheat growing on the same soil have shown that the animal and vegetable matter in the soil disappears very rapidly. This causes the liberation of the nitrogen. As long as the nitrogen is in combination with and forms a part of the humus, or decaying animal and vegetable matter of the soil, it is in a stable form; but as soon as the humus decays the nitrogen is liberated in various gases and soluble forms which are easily lost from the soil. It is the statement of scientists that there is no element that is so readily lost as nitrogen. It is not possible for the mineral forms of plant food, such as potash and phosphoric acid, to be converted into gaseous and soluble forms by the ordinary chemical changes that take place in the soil as in the case of nitrogen. With them the principal loss in their removal from the soil as plant food. But with humus it is different. There is a loss of course of the plant food by its being used by the crops, but much additional is leached downward by the soil water and some is soaked in the form of gas when the humus decays. We have an illustration of this in the decay of piles of manure and vegetable matter. We say that we can smell the ammonia rising from them; but that ammonia is the gas into which the nitrogen in the decaying mass is being changed. The loss of soil nitrogen can only be prevented by keeping up the humus in the soil. In most countries rotation of crops alone is able to do this. Some men brag that they have grown wheat year after year on the same soil for a generation without loss, but it will be found that such soil was in the beginning very rich in humus. By all means rotate, and include in the rotation some of the legumes. Winter-Grown Assamus. Asparagus can be grown in the cooler in winter wherever the owner heats his house by means of a furnace. The natural conditions in such a collar are favorable to the forcing of asparagus, as the temperature of night usually hovers around 58 degrees and in the day time runs from 65 degrees to 80 degrees. We do not believe that the amateur will find much profit in this, but some of the professional gardeners do, and it may interest some of our readers to try the experiment and have a few means of tender asparagus in winter. To get the results named, roots are dig up in the fall before the ground is too hard frozen to make digging them out possible. If the roots have been frozen, so much the better, so they then respond more quickly to the forcing process. They are placed in boxes in the cellar after the funnace. Two or three inches of soil should be under the roots and five or more inches of earth above, as the shoots need to be protected from even the dim light that is found in a cellar. Light is not needed to make the roots produce shoots, as they produce them from the substance laid up in the roots, but do not take anything from the soil. Nevertheless, much moisture is needed, as the shoots cannot develop without the help of a good deal of water. A neglect in supplying moisture will soon render the roots unproductive. Roots should begin to produce shoots in about twenty-five days after being placed in the cellar. At some of the stations roots placed in the cellar about the first of December have produced four or five good cuttings before the middle of February. When the roots are done producing they have to be thrown away, as they will thenceforth be of no good for the developing of tops and new roots. Farmer's Review. Lime for Dairy and Stable In Denmark there is a box of time in every dairy or creamery, where it is of use in visiting out vases to keep them sweet and clean, and to wash down the creamery floors and to purify the air generally. We are using it to a small extent in this country, but it is not common enough. It is one of the best purifiers and cheapest. Its use can be applied to the cow's drinking troughs in warm weather, to remove the soum or organic matter therefrom; it can be applied in the cow stable, where it is most invaluable. We know of nothing as effective as slaked lime with carobic acid mixed in it, for giving the surroundings of the barn a wholesome atmosphere. This cheap and handy agent is readily made by slaking the lime, filling a three-gallon pail about half full, adding about two ounces of urde carbolic acid. If the lime is not all to be used at one time it can be put away in an air-tight vessel, but it is best to use it fresh. For the dairy and creamy use the slaked lime only—slaked just before using. It has the physical advantages, as well, in lighting up the barn, making it sweet, clean and wholesome when sprayed on the walk, in the cooking and fall—Farmers' Guide KALLITHRIX PARLOR.

THE OPPORTUNITY OF TO-DAY The opportunity for the man with little means is probably better to-day in the public states of the southwest than ever before in the history of the nation. To be sure, there is not the vast open choice of land for the homesteads that existed in the '70s. The lands then taken up under government laws are now prosperous farms and ranches. The opportunity to-day is in the investment chances; in the purchase of farm lands at prices less than half the prices asked in the Older States. There is need of more hands to develop the country. In the southwest—in the southern Territory and Texas—are vast areas of land producing the crops of which it is capable. Practically the same thing is true of the towns. Few times of distress are actually represented. There are openings of all sorts for the right. If you are interested, tell us what you want, how much you have to invest, and we will gladly furnish the information. Write for a copy of our paper "The Coming Country." It's free.
