For each man here can be an epi- tome reading thus: Born in pov= erty, struggled in youth, tell ia with evil companions, took to strong drink, died s failure or possibly s castaway; or born in poverty, strug: gled in youth, fought valiantly life’s battle, conquered and died s good sitizen, respected by all who knew him.” None here today desire the fate of the former, None here could: wish such a fate for his followmsa, That we, etch of ua may succeed, we mast use our talents to the very best advantage. These talents are divinely appointed, They are the means and opportanitics with which yo aucceed and do good to others, I hey inoresse from day to day, and in proportion as we do faithful eer. rice and make the most of life, If any one bere feels himself not 0 brilliant as another, or having uch splendid talents as another, let im remember that itis mores ueation of willingness to do than f ability todo, and that bis willing. exe with Intelligent conscientious fort will bring success, We must esch have a vision of 10 life we would lve—vision of 1¢ better life and of the higher ings which enable us to grow into at which is nobler.

The priests of the various colored churches, their families and a few official members were entertained Wednesday evening March 27, by the Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Second Baptist church at the beautiful residence of Mr. and Mrs Burrel Shaw, North New England street. Everyone seemed to be in high spirits and to think duty demanded their contributing liberally to the enjoyment of the occasion. After general conversation upon miscellaneous matters the Rev. Mr. Feal clapped for order and called the audience to prayer with Rev. Bro. Ford. Then all joined in singing a number of choice selections from the Pentacostal Hymnal Miss Easter Harper presided at the organ with grace and efficiency. These songs were interperformed with short talks by Revs. J. J. Cabbell and T. W. Kidd, who spoke of the social side of life and its relation to the highest and best in man. Rev. H. T. S. Johnson closed the speech making and occasioned much murth as he discussed the subject, "Me, Too." All are agreed that Mrs Shaw is a queen of hostesses and that last Wednesday evening's entertainment was the best of the season. The guests did well their portion in the parlor, but in the dining room they did better. The good things were prepared by experienced hands and the guests showed their appreciation by following the good sisters of the Home Mission Society from the trouble of doing naws with the fragments.

READER" wants to know how many pounds of milk it will take to make a pound of butter, says the Journal of Agri- A READER" wants to know how many pounds of milk it will take to make a pound of butter, says the Journal of Agriculture. He has seen the terms "butter fat" and "butter tests" used a great many times and would like to know just how many pounds of butter he may expect from one hundred pounds of milk. The number of pounds of milk required to produce a pound of butter depends entirely upon the per cent of butter fat in the milk. The milk of some cows contains a great deal more butter fat than the milk of other cows. If milk tests 6 per cent butter fat it can be seen that it will take only half as much of it to produce a pound of butter as milk which tests 3 per cent. As a rule the Jersey cow will give richer milk than the Holstein cow. It will take a less number of pounds of the former milk to make a pound of butter than of the latter's. We say this is generally true. Of course there are exceptions to this general rule. Then some individuals of the same breed produce richer milk than others. In a number of tests and contests, it has been shown that the tests may vary as much as 2 per cent between full sisters. It may take but sixteen pounds of one cow's milk to make a pound of butter, while her full sister will have to produce twenty-five pounds to yield a pound of butter. the following rule is considered ap NOTICE OF FINAL The State of Kansas.

It can be seen that the cow which gives 155 pounds of 55 per cent milk is as valuable as a butter producer as the cow which gives 29 pounds of 3 per cent milk. We often speak of the cow being valuable because she gives so many gallons of milk per day, and that we would rather have her than our neighbor's cow, when does not give half as much. It may be, after all, that our cow is not so valuable as a butter producer as our neighbor's. Your cow's milk may test less than 3 per cent while your neighbor's may show a test of 5 to 6 per cent. The value of a cow as a producer of butter can not be determined by the number of pounds of milk she gives, but by the percentage of butter fet the milk contains. A quart of milk contains about 215 pounds. If the reader wishes to ascertain the number of pounds of milk barrow is givling, simply measure the milk and multiply the number of quarts by 215. The percentage of butter fat can be learned by the use of a Babcock tester. SOILING EXPERIMENTS WITH COWS During the interesting experiments in Germany, which extended through four ten years, seven of pasturing and seven of soilings. During the first seven years from 40 to 70 cows were pastured each year, and a separate account was kept with each cow. The lowest average per cow was 1185 quarts, during the third year of the experiment, when 70 cows were kept, and the highest 1941 quarts, during the seventh year, when 40 cows were pastured. The greatest quantity given by one cow was 2933 quarts. In the soiling experiment 20 to 38 cows were kept and the lowest average per cow was 2930 quarts, in the third year of the soiling experiment, when 38 cows were kept, and the highest average per cow was 4000, during the seventh year, with 35 cows. The highest quantity given by one cow was 5110 quarts. The average per cow for the whole seven years of soiling was 3442 quarts. The yield of the same cows is also compared for different years. One of the cows gave during the first year 3336 quarts, during the fourth year 4570 quarts, and during the seventh 4960 quarts. Another cow gave during the first year 3293 quarts, the fourth year 4483 quarts, and the seventh year 4800 quarts. During the summer the green food given was clover and vetches. The most noteworthy feature in this experiment was the great increase in the milk yield of the stall fed cows from year to year. Not only did the cows remain healthy during the seven years of soiling, but the persistent high feeding, oil cake, rye and bran having been given in addition to the succulent food, produced a steady increase in milk. Fishing Is Not Catching. A distinguished public man is amusing his friends with the following story: Not long ago I came upon a man fishing in my lake. I did not learn until afterward that the treepasser had been there all afternoon without a bite. Stepping to his side, I politely invited his attention to the fact that he was fishing in a private preserve, in violation of the law. The stranger smiled sadly. "You are mistaken, sir," he replied; "I'm not catching your fish; I'm feeding them"—Roseleaf. Williamson House... Rooms and Board—first class accommodation.

Easter Sabbath was a day of joy and gladness at St. John The services of the day began with a sunrise praise mee ing. which was attended by a number of early riders At 11 a.m. the auditorium of the church was well filled with a fine congregation, in the midst of which was seated in a body the students and members of the Industrial Institute, and in the pulpit assisting the pastor was Prof. Wm. R. Carter, the president of the institute. The pastor delivered a sermon from the subject, "Life and Immortality Revealed through the Resurrection." At the close of the sermon the ordinance of baptism was administered to infants. The Sabbath school was out in full glee and the joys of the lesson made each little heart rejoice, while the cup of joy among the older people seemed to run over as they mingled together in songs of praise. At 7:30 p.m. the school met again with the congregation under the leadership of the superintendent, Prot. R. H Wade, and rendered a most excellent and entertaining program. The Sowing circle held an interesting meeting this week in the basement of the church. Look out for the great jubilee concert at St. John on or about the 17th inst.

This is the finest Drug Store in the city, and this was the first introduction of his new $2,700 soda fountain. He will dispense fine soda and pure ice cream this summer to the thirsty multitude. The store was literally covered and decorated with flowers and evergreens of every description, whose fragrant odors captivated the visiting throngs to such an extent that crowds on the outside were compelled to wait for long intervals. The punch bowl was presided over by four young misses who were delighted to serve the guests. Souvenirs of rich perfumery were given to each lady. Mr. Mont Landers, who is acknowledged to be one of the best mixologists in the West, has been secured to operate this beautiful fountain. Music was furnished by Wilson's Orchestra. A Bright Example and Mrs. L. H. Slaughter, the milliner at 431 Kansas Avenue, upstairs, enjoyed the largest Easter sale of hats and ladies' tailormade suits since she has been in business. Although a few of our ought-to-B and want-to-B Negroes go to white milliners, where they are not wanted, and grin around ro pay the cash to a class of people that would not employ a colored girl, or teach her the trade, for anything. A white man said to us, the other day, that it was hard to get a colored man to do business with; another, that he had tried it, as he wanted colored people in preference to whites, yet he had to take whites. He tried colored teachers, preachers, in fact, the better class of colored people. Now, is not this a deplorable state of facts as to the conditions that confront the Negro? This white man tells the truth. We have this same experience with our people. A large number of Negroes don't take a Negro paper, and a still larger number don't pay for it after they subscribe for it. We invariably find the half-educated, would-be smart Negro, and especially that class that tries to live easy, the hardest to collect subscriptions from. They will claim that $1.50 a year is too much to pay for a paper that defends their cause, yet they will pay a white man four times as much for his paper to abuse them. There is something radically wrong with a certain class of Negroes that needs righting and we shall put it with Tillman, Vardaman and other enemies of the colored race. A contemptible, deceitful, oneideaed Negro hypocrite is ten times worse than these leaders of Southern Democrats who prey on the Negro from January. There are too many selfish, ignorant Negroes, who if they would incorporate and place their little earnings together, could do various kinds of business. Second hand stores, both clothing and furniture, with little capital can be made to pay. Negroes ought to engage in the shoe business and 5 and to cent st res. Our young men are too slow and shiftless. Their ideas run too much to gab and not enough to the future of plenty and happiness. The white man is our avowed enemy. He believes he is better and does not think you have any rights, which he is bound to respect. He will not give you a decent job where it pays over $50 per month, and they are scarce and unpleasant. When it gets to $75 to $100 Negro, stand back. He will not give you a decent political job, although you vote him in office, year in and year out. Mr. Bigfool Negro, aren't you ever going to learn a little sense? Get together, take out $5 or $10 of stock in some company organized for the benefit of placing your girls and boys to the front. If you lose you lose in a just and good cause and will put others thinking and going on by themselves. We admire Mrs. Slaughter for the pluck and stickativeness she has shown. She has as neat a millinery store as one would wish to see, and giving employment to girls of our race. Negroes can do business as well and make a success as well as whites if they would go at it right; and Negroes would patronize such enterprises. Mr. Big Negro, wake up! You cannot continue to fool the public much longer. Your ability to organize and control business among your race will demonstrate your worth in the community in which you live. The Republicans elected all but Councilman in the Second ward in Topeka. The defeated candidate was not the proper man for Councilman. J. II. B. Taylor, the popular and energetic real estate dealer trans- land bkiness in Dodge City several days ago. He reports the country as being prosperous in that section. We feel sure that the world will balance accounts in the next few days, and proceed to burn up. Last week news came from Denver that "Cub" Langston, the prister would be confirmed in the Episcopal church Easter, which was indeed a surprise, as we had long ago concluded that the devil owned him boots, spurs and all. But this week capped the climax when it was announced that Langston will soon lead to the alter one of the most beautiful and accomplished young ladies in all Colorado. Presiding Elder J. R. Ransom returned one day this week from Southern Kansas, where he says prosperity and good fellowship reign supreme. Last Sunday he was in Coffeyville and assisted the pastor, Rev. in a rally to raise funds with which to erect a new church. The members, sixty in number, raised $1,064 35 in cash. Of this amount four Negroes, Foster Williams, David Morris, The president of the Coffeyville Grocery Co., and Bish Henry gave $100 each. From his white friends Mr. Morris secured $540. This is an excellent showing, and would do credit to a city four times as large. Elder Ransom is a minister who is broad between the eyes, and instead of preaching so much hell, he is telling Negroes to get homes and own farms. FIRST AFRICAN Sunday will be the regular communion day. It is hoped that many will feel it their duty to participate in the services. At the business meeting Thursday night, Bro. David Steele was chosen deacon to fill the place made vacant by the death of Bro. Robert Clark, and Bro. George Raney was elected a member of the board of trustees. The program by the Sunday school pupils Sunday night was well rendered, and very much enjoyed by the large crowd that filled the house.

THE PLAINDEALER PUB.,CO 112 East Seventh Street FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1907 "Upon what meat doth this, cur Czar feed that he hath grown so great?" The Washington Times, an evening penny paper of Washington, D. C., established about forty years ago as a contemporary and rival of the Evening Star, one of the most fairminded and outspoken of the American press of today upon the Negro and all other questions, has recently published two short advertising paragraphe that thoroughly reveal its true character. The Washington Times is owned and controlled by Frank A. Munsey, who also owns and controls Munsey's Magazine and the Scrap Book. The paper has from its inception always magnified everything that would tend to injure the Negro as a race and now in an advertising folder, giving facts and figures for the agents and advertisers under the caption of "Washington's Wealth," has this significant paragraph: "Washington, the capital of the nation, has a population of 335,000 of which 25,000 are colored and are disregarded in the Times' calculation. What is said below, therefore, applies wholly to the white population." In speaking of the character of the Times' circulation, in pointing out some of the things that are pertinent we find this: "The Times, has not only not sought circulation among the colored people, but it has deliberately avoided it and in its news columns has shown emphatically that it is a paper for white people." Locally no self-respecting Negro should be found with a copy of the Times, and throughout the country no Negro should have a place for Munsey's Magazine or the Scrap Book upon his shelf. ELLSWORTH, KANS. We have a nice set of people in this enterprising little city of the far west. They have good homes, and all of our young men have jobs of some kind.

If we can't get what we want from the Republicans, we will vote for the Democrats. We certainly will lose nothing by so doing." It is possible that the new movement may get behind the Republican Square Deal organization, and work for the square deal candidates. The Negroes are generally favorable, it is said, to the primary election law. They say that they can get nowhere under the convention system in that by having a primary the least will have the right to cast their votes for whoever they please. For this reason they may be inclined to back up the Square Deal Republicans and help bring about the overturn of the political machine The Rebublican state central committee in the last campaign found out that the Negro vote of the state was not to be depended upon as in the days of yore Thousands of Negro Republicans refused to vote the Republican ticket because of the alleged prejudice against them on the Republican party. Much money and energy was spent by the Republican committee in trying to get the Negroes back into line, but these efforts were not satisfactory. In some portions of the state Negro speakers sent out by the Republican party were driven out of town by the Negroes when they tried to speak. Invitations are to be sent out at once, it is and, to a large number of the prominent Negroes of the state to come to Topeka for the meeting in April and help start the movement for a state organization.

Sick Headache When your head aches, there is a storm in the nervous system, centering in the brain. This irritation produces pain in the head, and the turbulent nerve current sent to the stomach causes nausea, vomiting. This is sick headache, and is dangerous, as frequent and prolonged attacks weaken the brain, resulting in loss of memory, inflammation, epilepsy, fits, dizziness, etc. Allay this stormy, irritated, aching condition by taking Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills. They stop the pain by soothing, strengthening and relieving the tension upon the nerves—not by paralyzing them, as do most headache remedies. Dr. Miles' Anti-P.

Words without earnestriess attached to them is not prayer. Words without faith of their being fulGlled is not prayer. I heard a humorous atory about a Negro slave and the ash hopper, She lad prob- ably heard ft sald or sead what a0 evar you ask of God, He will grant it. She had been commanded to move the ash hopper out of the yard, which was im- possible for her to do without first emptying the ashes which took « long time to do it. Ghe did not care to go to so much trouble 20 she concluded she'd ack the Lord to move it, aud she did, ‘The next raorning when she woke she was anxious to sea if the hopper had been moved, Lut she found it just as she left it, Then she scratched her head and suid, “Just aa I expected.” She surely did not have faith in God or else the would not base sald, “Just ae I ex+ pected.” Too often ia it the case to- day that we say words in an attitude of prayer but we have told that “works without faith is vain.” ‘Them let us When we pray have these three ele- ments in our minds, humility, earnest eas and faith, Why should we pay? First, because God prayed and Ie 19 our example, Also because He taught us how to pray and ine commanded us to pray. Agalo, He says, “Sen ought always to pray and nut to faint” and ogain Ile says to "Watch and pray that ye enter not Into emptation, for the spirit ts walling but the flesh is weak.’ Second, because pruyer is the mont impurtunt way we have of communicating with God.
