MITCH- FLL CONTINUES HIS NARRATIVE VOLUME XXV, NUMBER 52 EDITOR IN THE Pike's Pea THE COG-WHEEL RAILROAD MINER—FIVE THOUSAND AND THEIR TERRITORY RACE PREJUDICE ELL C Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, the well-known colored physician of Denver could readily align himself with the white race without danger of detection. He had just removed his residence. He is an allopathic physician while next door was the office of Dr. W. T. Jones, a colored homeopathic physician. They consult together at times and act together in the performing of surgical operations. Dr. Westbrook had just lost his mother in North Carolina and was somewhat gloomy on account of his misfortune. HIGH RAILROAD CHARGES We had heard much about Pike's Peak and nearly every one made a remark about it. We had heard the cry of "Pike's Peak or bust" and from the price charged to go from the bottom of the mountain to the top, a distance of nine miles and at a cost of five dollars without counting the extras, we came to the concessionary man it was a case of "Pike's Peak and bust." We decided to make the trip and Sunday morning at 8:30 found us at the Union Station enroute to Colorado Springs and Manito. A VIEW OF ELEPHANT ROCK. The scenes along the route were similar in some respects to that of the day before. We saw a cluster of rocks called elephant rock. The out line of an elephant with his snout could be plainly seen. We engaged the porter in conversation and found that he had driven cattle up into the Black Hawk mining regions forty years ago, when it was a trail route and the steam horse and the railway coaches were unknown. It is a rough country now, but it was a rougher one then. MR. JAMES MEETS US We reached Colorado Springs where we were heartily greeted by Mr. L. L. James of Pueblo, who had come this far to meet us. We went to a restaurant where the landlady assured us that dinner would be read very soon. We began talking and were so deeply engaged in discussing matters of interest that we had almost forgotten the purpose of our mission. A hurried call to the lady and she arranged the table. "There goes the street car now," remarked Mr. James. It was nearly 1 o'clock and the cog-wheel train left Manitou at 1:30 P. M. To miss it would be to deprive us of the trip altogether because we could not go up again until the next morning. A COLORED MINER'S EXPERIENCE. We left in a hurry and were lucky enough to catch the next street-car arriving at Manitou in time to catch the train with some time to spare. We passed, "The Garden of the Gods" and then continued our discussion. Speaking of the gold mines, Mr James said, "Yes, I know all about them. I owned three prospects and I spent five thousand dollars on them. It was the sinking of this money that has put me so far behind. How did I lose it? Well, if I had known as much then as I know now I would have fared better. LOST A FORTUNE. I sunk five thousand dollars and only got about five hundred dollars out of the prospects. You see I had to hire men to work for me. They would bring out a lot of quartz which I would take to the stamp mills. Where the quartz should have netted me four hundred dollars I would only get forty dollars. How was that? Well, you see, it is just like any other business. If you don't watch it the profit will get away from you. These miners would hide the best quartz for themselves and give me the poorest. The mistake I made was in not selling out the prospects. I would have realized more money and would have made a profit." There was a far-away look in Mr. James eyes as he concluded this recital of his experiences. We looked up the mountain as we heard a noise and we saw the cog-wheel engine coming down in front of one coach bringing a party that had gone up to the top in the morning. The road is so steep that no locomotive in the world could climb it, so the engineers arranged a cog wheel plan by which the train is forced up cog by cog until it reaches the top. A STEEP GRADE We entered the coach after bidding Mr. L. L. James good-bye. The seats are arranged at an elevated angle so as to enable the passenger to maintain a normal position as the train goes up the steepest grades. To understand it, we may cite the fact that for every hundred feet of distance the cog-wheel train goes 25 feet up the mountain. We secured a good seat and the whistle of the dummy locomotive behind told us that its work of pushing that coach up the mountain had begun. It was pleasant at the station. The winchers and sold of the passengers were gay. We had reached the half way house when a look to the right revealed the miles of undulating plains below. We reached a higher point where a beautiful lake formed from the melting snow shimmered in the sunlight. SOME PASSENGERS FAINT We were soon higher where the train stopped for water and we had the first touch of bleak winter, for lecicles chung to the iron spout of the spring and many passengers brought some or them in the coach as curiosities. Away up could be seen the snow clad summit of Pike's Peak with a grade thereto that was so steep that one turned his head away to prevent even a contemplation of what that would plunge that coach below. "Here I could tell said some one, "where some passengers have to be put off on account of weak hearts and the fact that the air is clarified. ABOVE THE TIMBER RIDGE We were now above the timber ridge where no vegetation could grow. It was bitterly cold. Then came the offer of overcoats and wraps which the conductor and his assistants rented to passengers, who were thoughtless enough not to bring their wraps and overcoats with them. When these are rented then comes the proposal to close the windows. Now we are on top of Pike's Peak where the government has an observatory and where the white Odd Fellows have had placed a slab, which the inscription says is not to be disturbed for 100 years. As it was placed there quite recently, we were satisfied that we would not witness the ceremonies attending its removal A MAGNIFICENT VIEW We could now see below us more than 150 miles of undulating plain so graphically displayed by Buffalo Bill in his Wild West. Below us could be seen spread out like a map the cities of Colorado Springs and Manitou. Over to the right were the Cripple Creek mines, with the smoke rising to the level of the hoary mountains. To the left thousands of feet below was the bottomless pit. Further left could be seen chain after chain of mountains with their peaks, rising like sentinels in the distance. It was a sublime sight. It told of the wonders of nature, the greatness of God and emphasized the power of the Creator. A RISE IN PRICES We were to leave at 4 P. M. Before the time, all were photographed. We separated ourselves from $1 on account of one of these and we have it on exhibition now in our office. The souvenir racket was "worked to a frazzler." Post cards that sold at 10 cents per dozen at the bottom of the mountain sold for 10 cents aplece at the top and a rushing business was done. We were now on the return journey. The dummy locomotive with a "cough" started down the mountain. We were more concerned about the going down than we were about the coming up. BACK AGAIN TO THE CAPITAL CITY. We reached the station in safety, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1908. boarding a street car and we were soon at the railroad depot at Colorado Springs. The train came and we were fortunate enough to secure a seat in a chair car where we were left alone with our thoughts, so to speak, for the rumble of the train, the talk of the female passengers and the streaks of red in the West served only to make us think more deeply of the wonders of nature that had been brought with such telling effect to our keen intellect which had been sharpened by this experience in the Rocky Mountains. A VIVID COMPARISON Suffice it to say that Pike's Peak is nearly three miles above the level of the sea. That is to say, if you would stand on the beach at Old Point or in the streets of Norfolk and raise a pole three miles long, skyward, the top of it would be as high as Pike's Peak, one of the most picturesque view-points in the world. We reached Denver tired and jaded, yet happy and within five minutes after we entered the door, we were in the land of oblivion, where even the dreams of other days did not come to disturb our rest or to mar the pleasures of pure, blissful rest. THE LAST OF DENVER Morning came and with it renewed life and vigor. We went out to take a last view of Denver. That night, friends came to see us in our absence, but we were enjoying the sights of Denver by night in company with our redoubtable Mr. George B. Burrell, who was telling and showing us the jolly part of life in this truly remarkable city. It was Tuesday morning that we went down to the Union Station to purchase a sleeping car ticket for Omaha, Nebraska. We asked the Pullman ticket agent for a lower berth. "We have none left on that train," he said. We were much worried. We stood awhile meditating and then down to the city office of the Union Pacific Railroad we went. A BERTH IN A PULLMAN We placed our card on the counter and called for a lower berth. The gentleman turned around to the ticket case and then said, "I'll give you lower 4." We placed a ten dollar bill on the counter, received our Pullman ticket and a few moments later were on our way up-town with Dr. J. S. P. Westbrook, who explained that only a few lowers were allowed at the station and probably all of these had been sold. We were not questioning this phase of the subject, but at 2 o'clock we were on our way to Omaha. AGAIN ON THE PLAINS The scenery on the plains that but thirty years ago were peopled with Indians was a source of never ending interest. Trains on this line run just the opposite from what they do in the East. They travel on the left hand track instead of the right. We travelled through the sugar beet section of the country. At all of the villages were seen sidlings for the reception of the beets from the farmers. A kind of bridge was built over which the farmer's wagons were drive en. The cars are underneath and into these the beets are dumped. THE SUGAR BEETS OF THE WEST This then was the backbone of the sugar beet industry in this country. We saw a camp in the distance near Fort Morgan. It looked like a troop of United States soldiers. We saw cowboys herding up cattle with the long tariats attached to their saddles. We went into the dining car and sat down. Polite waiters came forward and took our order. The white headwaiter or steward in charge of the dining car passed. He noticed the button of the American Bankers' Association upon the left hand lapel of our coat. He stopped instantly, stooped to a level or our (Continued on Eighth Page.) Tennessee Mob Would Brook No Delay and the Victims, Accused of Murder, Were Condemned In "Open Court," After "All Available Evidence" Was Heard—It Is Said They Created a Disturbance at a Religious Meeting, Killing Officer Who Tried to Arrest Them. Union City, Tenn., Nov. 25—Tiptonville, bordering on Reefoot lake, which recently has been the scene of many stirring incidents, witnessed the "legalized" lynching of three negroes who were arrested for murdering on Sunday Special Deputy Sheriff Richard Burruss and wounding John Hall, a deputy sheriff. The execution of the negroes was given a semblance of leagility by a hurried "trial," arranged with the understanding that the men would be condemned to death as soon as the "trial" was over. The negroes lynched with Marshall Edward and James Stitneback. These brothers created a disturbance at a religious meeting near Tiptonville on Saturday night. When Officers Burruss and Hall attempted to arrest them the negroes shot the officers and escaped. It was barely daylight Sunday morning before a posse of citizens from Tiptonville and surrounding towns were in pursuit of the negroes, but the tri eluded the pursuers until Tuesday, when they were surrounded and captured in a swamp near Ridgely. The negroes, covered by a hundred guns, were quickly placed in jail at Tiptonville. The negroes when arrested had two guns, but were out of ammunition. The news of the capture spread rapidly, and in addition to the several hundred captors men began arriving by every road. Soon the jail was surrounded by a mob which had no hesitancy in threatening a lynching. Prominent citizens begged the mob to let the law take its course and promised that full justice would be done the three black men. The mob, however, was restless and it was apparent that delay would not be brooked. As a last resort, S. J. Caldwell and Sheriff Haynes went before Justice Lee Davis and explained the situation. Justice Davis at once agreed to "open court," "summon a jury" and allow the negroes, after "all available evidence" was heard, after "duly sentenced to death." Meantime Governor Patterson was advised by telephone of the situation, and he ordered a company of militia to proceed from Union City with all haste to Tiptonville, seize the three negroes and conduct them to a place of safety. The troops started at once, but failed to arrive in time to prevent the lynching. At the "trial" all of the evidence of those who had seen the killing was heard, and in an incredibly short time the "case" was given to the "jury," which in a few minutes "returned a verdict of guilty" and "fixed the penalty at death." The "sentence" had barely been passed on the three negroes, when the mob, with a whoop and a yell, swarmed into the courtroom, seized the prisoners, rushed them to a large tree near the edge of town and "duly executed the sentence of death" by hanging them, firing volley after volley into the air as the bodies were drawn up from the earth. TURKEY FOR MRS. TAFT Philadelphia Domestic Institute Sends Bird Draped With American Flag. Philadelphia. Nov. 25.—A monster boned turkey, draped with the American flag and garnished and stuffed in the most approved fashion, was sent to Mrs. William H. Taft, wife of the president-elect, from the culinary department of the Philadelphia Domestic Training institute. The bird was prepared to grace the Taft dining table on Thanksgiving day, a letter having been received from Mrs. Taft accepting an offer from the students to prepare the turkey. THE INAUGURAL COMMITTEE E. J. Stellwagon, Washington Capitalist, Appointed Chairman. Washington, Nov. 25. — Chairman Frank H. Hitchcock, of the Republican national committee, announced the ap- pointment of Edward J. Stellwagen as chairman of the inaugural committee. Mr. Stellwagen is one of the leading capitalists of the District, among other positions occupied by him being that of president of the Union Trust company. Cheap Paper In Sight Washington, Nov. 25.—Paper is to be manufactured from cotton stalks, a heretofore useless by-product, according to a report of the bureau of manufacture. A company capitalized at $500,000 has been organized at Atlanta, Ga., for the purpose. It is claimed that paper can be made from cotton stalks at a cost of about $15 a ton. OPPOSE RE-ELECTION OF SENATOR PENROSE Movement Being Organized to Elect John O. Sheatz. Pittsburg, Nov. 25.—In a statement made public here by Representative-elect Captain Ira McJunkin, of Butler, Pa., it is said that an effort will be made at the coming session of the Pennsylvania legislature to elect State Treasurer John O. Sheatz to succeed Bois Penrose in the United States senate. According to the statement, a thoroughly organized movement is now on foot and it is asserted that the "invasion of the Penrose ranks will produce a political upheaval unprevented in the politics of the state." Captain McJunkin also states that Treasurer Sheatz is heartily in favor of the course outlined and has indicated his willingness to join the issue against Penrose. WIFE HELD FOR MURDER Widow of Admiral Sampson's Nephew Charged with Slaying Husband. Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 25. — Mrs. Georgianna Sampson, widow of Harry Sampson, of Palmyra, who died on Nov. 1 as the result of a gunshot wound, was formally accused of the murder of her husband by the district attorney of Wayne county and placed under arrest. Sampson was a nephew of the late Admiral Sampson, who commanded the American fleet at the battle of Santiago. The death of Harry Sampson took place on the Allyn farm, located between Palmyra and Macedon, in Wayne county. It was at first believed that Sampson took his own life, but following his death stories were circulated which discredited that theory. It came out at the inquest that Sampson on the Saturday before his death had discovered a letter written to his wife by a man outside of the family, which had been the cause of a bitter quarrel. It was also testified at the inquest that Sampson had a package of cheese in his hand when he fell dead in the farm house, which was held to preclude the idea that he could have fired the shot from the rifle that killed him. CUMMINS CHOSEN SENATOR Iowa's Governor Elected to Succeed the Late William B. Allison. Des Moines, Ia., Nov. 25—Governor A. B. Cummins was elected United States senator by the legislature. Cummins received 108 votes; Porter, Democrat, 85. Three Republicans did not vote. Governor Cummins will resign at once and the Heutenant governor will become governor. The new senator succeeds the late William B. Allison in the upper house of congress. PYTHIANS ENTER LEE COUNTY. Grand Tim's There.—The .Grand Chancellor Present. Darbyville, Lee Co., Nov. 24, '08. This extreme southwestern section of Virginia known as Lee county was aroused last Saturday by the arrival of Grand Chancellor John Mitch Jr, and Dr. J. Alexander Lewis, acting Grand Medical Register and Grand Master at Arms after travelling about 400 miles from Richmond. District Deputy Grand Chancellor H. S. Staples came with them from Norton and Rev. S. Saunders joined them at Big Stone Gap. The latter is pastor of the Baptist Church here. Hanging Rock Lodge, No. 153 was instituted Saturday, Nov. 21st with the following officers: Chancellor Commander, James Mullins; Master of Work, C. E. Haslerig; Vice Chancellor, Beaty Beaty; Prelate, Joseph James; Keeper of Records and Seal, William Eds; Master of Finance, Sam Carson; Master of Exchequer, JamesLane; Master at Arms, Joseph Keen; Inner Guard, Henry Shade; Outer Guard, Jacob Williams; Trustees, S. R. Goode, George Barnes, Frank Stoddard; Attendants, Robert McCoy, Henry Barnes, Moses Lewis and Searcy Travillian. The officers were installed, after which supper was served. Grand Chancellor Mitchell could not get out from here by train owing to a wreck, but he hired a team and drove eight miles to Pennington over as bad and dangerous a mountain road as may be found anywhere in this section of the country. The main line of the L. and N Railroad touches this point. This lodge was organized through the efforts of Sir Wm. Evans under the direction of Deputy H. S. Staples or Norton, Va. PRESIDENTNEARLYRUNDOWN Narrowly Escapes Being Struck By Bicycle Ridden By Colored Youth. Washington, Nov. 25. — It became known Tuesday that because he barely avoided running down President Roosevelt with his bicycle while the latter was walking to church last Sunday, Gilbert Boyer, a colored youth, was arrested on the charge of "not having a suitable bell on his bicycle." Boyer was released upon putting up $4 collateral, which he forfeited rather than stand trial on the charge. President Roosevelt was walking briskly down H street with two secret service men at his heel and started to cross Fifteenth street, when he heard a shout of warning and sprang back just in time to miss being hit by a bicycle ridden by Gilbert, who was trying to steer the wheel with one hand and carry a basket of milk bottles with the other. When the president shouted at him to admonish him for his reckless riding the youth merely grinned and pedalled swiftly. It was not until he was pursued and arrested by the secret service men at the dairy where he was employed that Gilbert became aware of the president's identity. Notice! Rev. Joseph T.

White Fined $100 and Sentenced to Serve 30 Days in Jail for Carrying a Concealed Pistol. (Petersburg Index-Appeal, Nov. 25.) Eli. Eli Tartt, colored, who has so often figured in both the lower and upper courts of Petersburg, is still appearing in court on charges brought against him. Yesterday morning he was before Police Justice C. E. Plummer charged with being an accessory to an assault made with a pistol by Jos. White, colored, on Levy Myers, also colored, at the Harrison Street Baptist Church, colored, or which Tartt, the former pastor, is now acting pastor. The alleged assault occurred last Monday night when an unsuccessful effort was made to hold a business meeting, to decide on a moderator and to adjust, if possible, the dissensions which for a year or more have existed in the congregation of this church. From the testimony of ten witnesses, all anti-Tarttites, adduced at the examination yesterday morning, that it proved most conclusively that the gates of the yard of the church were fastened and that the front doors of the church were not opened, and that the adherents to Tartt were packing the church by entering it through the pastor's study; that as soon as the anti-Tarttites discovered the trick they jumped over the fence of the church yard and attempted to enter the church from the rear, as the Tarttites were doing; that then some words ensued between Joseph White and Levy Myers, the latter telling the former that he had no business at the meeting as he was a deacon in the Third Baptist Church; that then, according to the evidence, White, who held a pistol in his hand, was told by Tartt, who was in his back porch, to lead on, that if anyone interfered to shoot him, or words to that effect. Levy Myers testified that White pointed his pistol in his face. The testimony of all ten witnesses was practically the same. Tartt stated that he had no witnesses to introduce, but testified in his own behalf. He said that at no time during the night was he either on his back or front porch, but that he was upstairs in the parsonage looking out of the front window. Neither Tartt nor White was represented by counsel, but Mr. R. H. Mann, the attorney for the Commonwealth, was present, as he said, although suffering from a severe tooth ache, to help the presiding justice to thresh out the testimony. Mr. Mann prosecuted the defendants and Tartt especially, most vigorously, and asked for the maximum punishment for both. Both Tartt and White were adjudged guilty and their punishment fixed at six months in jail each. Both took an appeal and were released on bail in the penalty of $500 each for their appearance at the next term of the hustings court. Rebecca White, colored, became their surety. Joseph White was also convicted of carrying a concealed pistol and for its offense he was fined $100 and sentenced to serve 30 days in jail. An appeal in this case was also noted. White in testifying in his own behalf in the case against him, stated that threats had been made by some or the anti-Tarttites to "fix him" and that he had the pistol to protect himself. The pistol was taken from him in Tartt's study. The court-room was crowded during the examination. Notice! We wish to announce to the many friends and patrons of the Y. M. B. A.

THE DEVIL COPYRIGHT, 1908, BY HENRY W. SAVAGE --- CHAPTER I THE slender jeweled hands of Olga Hoffmann trembled so that she fumbled at the books and buttons that held together the waist she was trying to remove. Her heart beat with a violence it had not known before during the six plaudd years of her married life. Her face was a mask of fear—fear of the unseen, the unfathomable—of the turbulent emotions that seemed crowding, surging up from unsuspected depths in her very soul. Mme. Hoffmann was in the studio of Karl Mahler, where she had been brought by her portly banker husband, Herman Hoffmann, that the irony of the sweetheart of her happy girlhood, painting her portrait for the pleasure of the man whose name she had taken, might be consummated. But it was with no thought of this that Hoffmann had taken her there or that she had consented to go or that Karl had received them. Hoffmann welcomed the artist daily to his own home and knew no jealousy. Karl, forgetful of the idyl of his youth, dwelt in thought on his approaching marriage to a beautiful young heiress. Olga, loyal to her husband, believed that the old romance was laid away among those faded dreams faintly remembered, but which come no more. And yet when her husband had gone out, leaving her there, the faded lavender of the sweet old days turned lurid, and for the first time in six years her soul confessed itself and lay bare and unshriven. But she fought down the memory and clung to those six years of silence, and all the while there was in the very air of the room an unseen presence that seemed dragging her backward through time, bridging those years clear to the day when Karl, the boy, had taken her in his arms and kissed her lips and told her that he loved her. Now, with all of that in her heart, she yet tried to put it out of her thoughts. She forced herself to a light tone and airy words. "Come, M. Mahler; I have come to get my portrait painted as my husband wishes it," she cried. "We must go to work." Karl, torn by emotion as herself, acquiesced. "Here are shawls from which you may select one for your shoulders." he said. "I will go and prepare the studio while you remove your blouse." He left her so filled with fear that she could hardly bring herself to tug at the buttons that held her waist. "Ah!" she exclaimed impatiently at last, flinging the waist from her. As it dropped to the floor her perfectly rounded shoulders and white throat were bare. She arose from her seat and reached for the filmy silken shawl she had chosen. But the shawl fell from her nerveless hands, and she drew back, with a shriek, gazing in horror at what seemed an apparition. A melodious voice, suave, gentle, delibereate, said: "Madame, I beg your pardon. I fear I permitted myself to fall asleep." From the depths of a great armchair, drawn up before an open fire whose red light gave it sinister illumination, a man arose, stood before Olga and bowed profoundly. He was in the conventional afternoon garb of a gentleman. His frock coat was black; his hair was black; his eyebrows, eyelashes and eyes were black. His face was white, as colorless as his immaculate linen, as expressionless as the monocle he wore. One touch of color, red, came from the scarf. He looked with undisguised admiration at the beautiful woman before him. But it was the cold, critical admiration of the cynic, emotionless and without life. Olga drew back from him, catching up the shawl and hiding her gleaming shoulders. As she looked at him his eyes seemed to hold hers. She was fascinated, yet repelled. "I thought I was alone," she faltered when her voice came to her. "When I came in some time ago M. Mahier was out, and I must have fallen asleep in his comfortable chair. Again I apologize." Fear and suspicion dilated Olga's eyes, and she drew yet farther from this suave, polished stranger. "There was no one in that chair a few minutes ago when my husband was here!" she cried. Without a flicker of expression or a trace of emotion in his even, steady voice, the stranger glanced casually at the chair from which he had emerged like a specter and replied: "I beg your pardon. I must be mistaken." He seemed like one who would jest with infinity. There was nothing ironical in his tone, and he bowed with grave politeness. As he advanced Olga retreated toward the door through which Karl had entered the studio. "Where did you come from?" she cried. "Ah." he exclaimed quickly. "I come from nowhere; I go everywhere; I am here." He tapped his forehead with long, eloquent fingers significantly. Those hands were as striking as his voice, his face, his manner. They were restless, animated, the only part of him that seemed alive. His voice was cold, his face expressionless, his eyes unchanging in their steady blackness, but his hands were vibrant. Their gestures were literal speech. All impulse which he had banished from his speech, from his walk, seemed centered in his hands. It flashed across Olga as she gazed at him that he was the incarnation of the arch fiend, the very spirit of evil purpose against which all good contends, against which she had fongt unconsciously for six years. It was this terrible presence that was dragging her back over those years, palting with fresh color the faded dream, filling her heart with the wild, sweet desire of a child. She pressed her hands over her eyes to shut out the specter and cried aloud: "Karl!" Then she fled to meet the young artist, hurrying to answer her call. CHAPTER 1L LGA was a ward in the family of Herman Hoffmann when she met Karl first. A preoccuous boy artist, talented, but untaught, he attracted the attention of the wealthy family, and they gave him employment to further his ambition. Soon he came and went among them like one of the family, patronized by Herman, who was his senor, and adored by Oiga, whose playfellow he was. He was a handsome, sturdy youth, with hair that fell in rich, black clusters over his white forehead and eyes that sparkled with buoyant life and purpose. There was never a word of love between this boy and girl. It was the true spirit of comradeship. But they loved each other without knowing that it was love, because life was fresh and sweet to them and the days were long for playtime and dreaming. Their happiness was unclouded until the time came when it was determined that Karl should go away to Paris to study and that Olga should be given the finishing touches of her education that she might take her place in society. Then the comrades became sweet-hearts. When they were to be sent away from each other they knew that it was love. "Ah, Karl, I shall be so unhappy without you!" Olga said. "But I will come back, Olga, a great artist perhaps, and you will be prouder of me than ever." "You will forget me away in Paris." "And will you not forget me, Olga?" "Ah, never, my Karl!" Karl took her in his arms then and kissed her. "I love you, Olga. I will not forget." The years went swiftly for Karl in his studies, and the love of a youth goes readily to sleep. As for Olga, she mourned her sweetheart sincerely for many months, but there was much in the world that she was learning about, and the few relatives she had were busy with her future. Young Herman Hoffmann, grown stout and serious and taking part in the business affairs of the family, loved her for her rare beauty, and they were married. Karl came back, famous, painted portraits and lived the life of a young artist. Hoffmann had become a banker and a man of importance. He was slow and somewhat pompous in speech, but he was loyal in his friendship for Karl and devoted to his beautiful young wife. Karl came and went in their house almost as he had in the old days. Never once did he or Olga speak of their old love to each other. Each believed it dead. For Olga this was not strange, as she had her husband, whom she believed she loved, her home and her social life. Her time was taken up, and Karl was only a daily incident. The young artist came back to a consciousness of Olga's beauty and sweetness. She had adopted a maternal air toward him which he found vastly diverting. Sometimes there throbbed in his pulses a beat of the old fervor, but he had himself well in control. His emotions were not waryward. He told himself daily almost that he thought of Olga as a sister. But it was significant, although he never admitted that, that he had to tell himself this same thing very often. Thus sped the six years of Olga's contented, unruffled life. Karl lived in his studio, where notables came to be painted and models posed and flirted, and an old manservant looked after his clothes and his comfort. It was a spacious apartment, richly furnished in the trappings which artists love. There he lounged and worked, but in all the six years Olga and her THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA husband had never been there. Karl desired most of all things in the world to paint her portrait, but he did not dare to ask. Olga never spoke of it, and it was not until Herman himself brought up the subject that it was ever discussed. One evening at Herman's house, when Karl had been making some sketches, Herman said: "Karl, why have you never painted a portrait of Olga? She is more beautiful than any of your models or your patrons." Olga was startled and glanced quickly at Karl. The young artist could not keep the blood from rushing to his cheeks, but he replied carelessly: "Olga would do my poor art great honor. I never knew that either of you thought so well of my skill." "Come, come," Herman cried. "I want a portrait of Olga, and you shall paint it. Let us discuss it. What sort of a pose would you suggest, Olga?" "Really, I would have to think about it, Herman." Oliga answered. "This is rather sudden, and one can't make up one's mind about a portrait so quickly." "Why not? Now, I think a half length portrait, in evening dress, with a shawl thrown over your shoulders, would be very attractive." Herman had grown quite stout and wore a neatly trimmed beard. He was generous, good natured and kindly, and Karl was very fond of him as well as grateful to him and his family for the opportunities they had given him. He did not wish to oppose this whim of his friend, and he left the discussion to Oliga. "I should prefer full length in a street costume," she said. "Not at all." Herman asserted. "The picture will be painted indoors and hung indoors, and you wear indoor clothes. Now that is settled. Karl, when shall we begin this portrait?" "I can be ready at any time." Karl said. "Come when you will. I am quite at your disposal." "Then let us have a sitting tomorrow. What do you say? I will take Oiga to your studio, which we shall be very glad to inspect, and leave her there. I shall be very busy in the afternoon, but I can call for her when the sitting is over." "Delighted!" Karl cried, with enthusiasm. "Oiga, you will make a splendid model, and I shall be happy to paint you." "Very well. I am in your hands," Oiga said. "We will have a sitting tomorrow, and in the evening you will come to my reception. You will meet Elsa there." Elsa was a young heiress selected by Olga as the prospective bride of Karl. Olga had brought them together and in every way fostered their growing fondness for each other. "You are determined to marry me off to Elsa, I see," Karl said, laughing. "It's high time, my dear Karl, that you took a wife and settled down." Olga said, with maternal emphasis. "I don't like this studio life for a young man of your impulsive temperament." "Well, I'm a willing victim," said Karl, laughing. "The moment you married people settle down to your own bondage you begin to try to put others in the same plight." "Nonsense. We want you to be happy, just as we are, don't we, Herman." Hoffmann looked indulgently at his wife and Karl. "Elsa will be a good match for you," he said. "And tomorrow evening should be your opportunity, my boy." Karl felt himself strangely disturbed at the thought of Olga's coming visit. He roamed the rooms of his studio when he got home, looking at the miscellaneous assortment of pictures, arms, rugs and brie-a-brac. A few sketches in charcoal and oils he thrust incontinently out of sight. They were not for Olga to see. He did not awaken old Heinrich, his servant, but he busied himself rearranging the furniture and even hunted up a duster and dusted some vases and porcelains. He laughed at himself then and threw aside the brush. "I suppose I could leave this to Heinrich," he said. "This will be Olga's first visit. And now I believe that I've wanted her to come here all the time—for six years. But it is just as well." After Karl left them Olga and Hoffmann discussed the portrait. "I don't suppose it will matter, my leaving you at the studio tomorrow afternoon," Hoffmann said. "I have some important business to look after. You see, Olga, I trust you." "Of course you do, you old goose!" Olga said, laughing and pinching his ear. "Now, good night. I'm going to bed." When she was alone her husband's words recurred to her. "He trusts me!" she mused. "Of course he does. But why should he tell me about it tonight? Why isn't it a matter of course?" CHAPTER III KARL'S fitful slumber was disturbed that night by vague half dreams which oppressed him when he arose. He was filled with misgiving, doubt, uncertainty. His thoughts, half formed, disturbing, were of Olga. He tried to think of marriage with Elsa, but it was without enthusiasm. Warm, beautiful, affectionate, she made no impression on his heart, which seemed like ice. He looked around the studio with aversion. The pictures on the walls seemed no longer to represent the aspiration of the artist. They were mementos of the models who had posed and flirted and talked scandal within his walls. He paced the floor restlessly, nervously twisting his unlighted cigarette in his fingers until it crumbled, his mouth tight, his eyebrows drawn together. Then he seized his hat and overcoat and flung himself out of the door into the gathering winter storm. For an hour he plunged through the snow, the chaos of the storm matching his mood. Almost exhausted, he turned back toward his home and entered. The room glowed warmly. In front of the inviting fire was the big armchair with its wide seat, comfortable cushions and high pulpit back. As he laid aside his greatcoat he stepped toward the chair, intending to bury himself in its depth and surrender to his mood. A shudder ran over him, and he drew back, staring at the soot. It was empty, his eyes assured him, but he could not rid himself of a feeling that it was occupied. He pressed his hands to his eyes and then flung them outward with the gesture of one distraught. "I am going mad," he thought. He called loudly, harshly: "Heinrich! Heinrich!" The old man, alarmed at his master's unwonted violence, hastened into the room. Karl flung aside his coat, and Heinrich held for him his velvet dressing jacket. He slipped into it, shook himself and lighted a cigarette. His hands shook with nervousness, and he held them out from him that he might look at them. "Oh, what a terrible sight!" he groaned. "Monsieur!" Heinrich said inquiringly. "Has any one been here?" Karl asked. "No, monsieur; only Ma'm'selle Mimi! She is waiting in the studio to pose." With an impatient gesture Karl walked across the room, picked up a newspaper, flung himself on a couch and held the sheet before his eyes. He did not even see the print, but he persisted, trying to banish his restless thoughts. Heinrich, soitlously brushing and folding Karl's coat, waited. The artist looked at him impatiently. "Tell Ma'm'selle Mimi I shall not need her today. She may go." "Yes, monsieur." Heinrich said. The servant stepped to the door of the studio and threw it open. He called out: "Ma'melle, M. Karl says he will not need you today. You may go home." Heinrich withdrew. Karl lay at full length on the couch, holding the paper before him. A young woman daintily featured, with rounded figure, whose lines showed through her close fitting costume, burst into the room. Although conscious of her presence and irritated, Karl did not look. He pretended to be absorbed in his newspaper. Mimi looked at him and waited, but as he did not speak she ventured timidly: "Aren't you going to paint me today?" "Er—no, not today." "Do you not love me any more, Karl?" The newspaper rattled with the artist's impatience and irritation, but he did not answer. Mimi approached him. "You do not love me. You have ceased to care for me. Ah, Karl, when you loved me you painted me every day! Now you paint nothing but landscapes." Karl forced a laugh. "Nonsense," he said. "You talk like a silly child, Mimi." "You say that now, but you did not say such things when you loved me, Karl. It is always the way with us poor models. At first it is, 'Ah, what shoulders, what beautiful coloring, what perfect ankles.' Then you paint us every day. And then it is: 'What in the world have you done with your figure? It is all angles.' 'What on earth have you put on your face? It is as yellow as old parchment.' And then you paint landscapes." Mimi burst into tears and vigorously daubed her eyes with her handkerchief. She was an extremely pretty girl of the bourgeois type, with heavy coils of straw colored hair piled high on her head and big blue eyes that were quick to weep. Karl arose, throw aside his paper and essayed to comfort her. "There, there," he said, patting her shoulder, "don't cry, Mimi. You are full of folly today." As quick to smile as she had been to cry, Mimi unvelled her eyes and looked at him eagerly, her lips parting over her white teeth. "Then you do love me, Karl? Ah, tell me that you love me!" "Yes." "And you will paint me again? If not today, perhaps tomorrow?" I "Perhaps, but I am very busy." He turned from her and sat on the couch again. Mimi's mood suddenly turned to anger, and she cried out at him furiously: "I know that you do not love me, and I know why. You are going to be married. Yes, yes," as Karl made an impatient gesture: "I know it is true." "You are very silly, Mimi." he said. "Ah, no; I am not! It is true what I have said. I have heard all about it, but I did not believe it because I was a fool. You are going to marry Mille, Elsa Berg, who is said to be very beautiful and who will be a great beiren, and then you will forget me, as you would be glad to do now." "Where in the devil have you heard all of this?" Karl demanded, springing angrily to his feet. "It does not matter. You cannot deny that it is true." Then her mood changed swiftly to contrition, and she went close to Karl. "But forgive me. I know it must be. I have always known, and I must have annoyed you. We models are always annoying—in our street clothes. Forgive me, Karl." She looked appealingly at Karl, and he was moved. "Never mind. Mimi. Run along home now, and I promise to paint you again, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps the next day." She threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. Then she fed from the room. Karl flung himself down on the couch again and hid his face with his arms. CHAPTER IV. O GA'S dream journey had been through the flowering orchard of girlhood hand in hand, with Kart, and she "I wonder what it will be like there?" she asked herself a dozen times. "I think I have always been jealous of that studio and its possibilities, and I have always wanted to go there—but I did not dare." Then she chided herself for the thought she had not uttered. "Why, I'm a goose! What am I confessing here to myself? That I am in love with Karl? What silly nonsense! Come, Olga, you are getting romantic!" Herman came after luncheon, and they drove together to the studio building. Old Heilrich admitted them, his eyes growing big and round at the imposing splendor of Herman's great coat and the bewildering beauty of the grand lady. Karl, in his artist's velvet jacket, hurried forward to greet them. "Welcome to my workshop!" he cried. "How do you do?" Olga said, barely giving him her hand and turning at once to let her eyes rove curiously around the walls of the room. "How do you do, Karl?" Herman said. "You see we are prompt. And now I am curious to see your place." Karl watched Olga as she surveyed the room. He felt plump at her seeming lack of interest in him. "So this is your wonderful studio," she said absently. "It is much like a junkshop," Karl said deprecatingly. "It is very interesting," Olga said. "Whose picture is that? she asked, pointing to a painting of a half nude figure on the wall. "That? Oh, that is a model who has posed for me." "Oh, yes; I recognize it. We met the girl on the stairs, Herman." "Oh yes; that is she." Herman busied himself looking at the picture, chuckling over those that caught his unpoetic fancy and nudging Karl in the ribs at some of them. "I must come again and inspect them more at my leisure," he said. "This afternoon I have to go away." "I am sorry you are not to remain." Karl said politely. "Oh, I suppose we might put off the sitting in view of the fact that the picture might have been painted any time these last six years," Herman said. "But Olga has been nervous about the ball we are going to tonight, and I thought it best to bring her today to distract her. You know this is really a house warming tonight." "And we were obliged to invite so many people." Olga said, still looking at the pictures. "I have these social affairs," Herman rattled on, "but I suppose in our position they are inevitable. What time shall I return for Olga?" "It grows dark quickly," Karl said, looking at his watch. "In another hour we shall not be able to see. Suppose you return about 4 o'clock." "Very well. And now I must be going. You are coming to the ball tonight, Karl? You know you really are the guest of honor. isn't he, Olga?" "Yes, indeed. Karl is to fall in love with his future wife tonight." Karl looked at her, but she spoke with perfect self possession and lightly. "Ah, you are not half grateful enough for this treasure, Karl. You should be happy." Olga said. "Of course he should, and he will." Herman interposed, moving toward the door. "We will all be happy, you and Elsa and Karl and I—everybody, I hope." Olga went nearer to Karl and spoke seriously. "She is a very charming girl, Karl." "If you say one word more about that girl, I shall fall in love with her immediately, which would be ahead of my matrimonial schedule," Karl replied jestingly. "You know I am not obliged to fall in love until tonight." "Well, well, I must be off." Herman said as he went up to kiss Olga. "Goodby, dear. I shall call for you at 4 o'clock." Almost against his will, Karl asked a question which he had never before in all his life thought of. "Aren't you afraid to leave your wife alone?" "Alone?" "With me, I mean." Herman looked at him and then spoke jestingly, with but an effort. "I am hurrying away because I am afraid I shall change my mind and take Olga with me," he said. "You are not jealous?" Olga asked. "If you don't want the truth—no. I am not." Herman replied, and in his tone there was the peculiar meaning which his words did not convey. "If I were not afraid of becoming ridiculous I should say warningly, 'Children, be sure to be good.'" He paused and looked at both of them. Then he said: "Goodby." As he turned Karl followed and escorted him through the door. Olga stood frowning, worried, ill at ease. Karl looked at her in surprise when he returned. "What is the matter?" he asked. Olga started nervously and looked at him. She pressed her hands before her eyes and for a moment did not speak. She looked a way as Karl approached her and said tenderly: "Are you afraid? Please tell me." "I don't know what is the matter with me, but just now, when my husband went away, I felt as if I had been left without a protector." She broke off abruptly, and Karl urged her to explain. "What do you mean? I don't understand," he said. "Yes, you do, Karl." Olga said as she turned and faced him. "You know. I have fought against coming here for six years—ever since my marriage." She looked away from him, around the studio, with its bizarre decorations, and shuddered. "Ugh! This place looks like a devil's kitchen," she cried. "These strange things, terrible monsters, cold, white statues, heads without bodies, and you in their midst like a conjurer—I did not notice them while Herman was here, but now"— Karl turned swiftly toward her. "But now?" he asked. Olga looked at him with an expression of terror in her eyes. The two stood thus at bay. CHAPTER V. L EFT to themselves in the big studio, facing each other, Karl and Olga were silent. There was a look in Karl's eyes that Olga had never seen before. There was a tumult in her heart that she had never before felt. It was Karl who first recovered himself and tried to break the silence, trying to speak lightly. "Don't be nervous," he said reassuringly. "This is the reception room of my studio. Every woman I paint comes here." "And do you paint every woman who comes here?" Olga asked slowly. There was another awkward pause. Olga could not tell why she had asked that question any more than Karl could have told why he had asked Herman if he was not afraid to leave them alone. It was some unsuspected jealousy that prompted it. "Did you understand my husband?" Olga asked. "Yes, I think I did." "He said 'I trust you.' Why should he say that? Why should it not be a matter of course?" "You don't think he is really jealous?" Olga shook her head. "I don't know," she said. "During the six years we have been together and you have been our friend he has often pretended to be jealous. This time there was something in his voice that made me believe it was more than pretense. It is the first time he has ever left us alone." They were standing, Karl near the door, where he had bidden Herman farewell. Olga was on the opposite side of the apartment. In the alcove in one corner an open fire burned brightly, casting a red glow over the big, comfortable armchair drawn up before it, with its high, pulpit shaped back toward them. Karl walked over to Olga and said with quiet earnestness: "We have tried to avoid it, Olga, tried for six years. Now that the situation is forced upon us, why not be honest? Let us talk about it frankly." "I think it was sweet not to discuss it for six long years," Olga said, smiling at him. "A clean conscience is like a warm cloak, Karl. It infolds us and makes us feel so comfortable." She tried to make her mood seem light, but Karl would not fall in with it. "Last night when it was suggested that I should paint your portrait you gave me a look I had never seen before," he persisted. "I wonder why." "I don't know," Olga answered, her fear returning. "Don't let us talk about it. I don't want to." "You must not be afraid of me, Olga. If I were any one else you might be frightened. I am fond of you, yes, but respectfully. I do not see what harm can be done by talking everything over quietly. It seems so long ago—seven years—since they told me that Herman was to be your husband. It was on the anniversary of the day"— "Oh, Karl!" she protested, holding out her hands to silence him. "The day we kissed each other," he went on, speaking so quietly that it seemed almost a whisper. "We were almost children then. I was a poor little chap, who gave drawing lessons to Herman and his sisters. You were a little wolf, fed cake and tea at the millionaire's table. There we met, a beggar boy and a beggar girl, thrown together in a palace. We looked at each other, and I think we understood." Olga covered her burning face with her hands, and Karl went on: "We kissed each other quite innocently—just one kiss, the memory of which has almost faded." "Yes, Karl, faded," Olga cried eagerly. "We have grown up sensibly, and we never mentioned it." Karl seemed not to hear her interruption. He went on: "You became Herman's wife and went to live in a palace. I found you there when I came back from Paris, still fond of you, but determined never to tell you so, and when I met you again I, too, was somewhat changed. Still, when our eyes met, Olga, it was with the same look of the two poor, longing little beggars of the years ago. But we did not kiss again." "Why not?" Olga breathed. "Your husband and I are the best of friends," Karl said. "Though we have met hundreds of times, you and I, we have not mentioned it." Olga turned to him gratefully and held out her hand to clasp his. "You are a good, true friend, Karl." "Are you satisfied now?" Karl asked her, smiling. "You are not afraid of me, are you?" "No, but there was something in my husband's voice that frightened me," Olga answered. "He knows what we were to each other, and when he was leaving us here alone I think it made him feel uncomfortable. We aren't in love any more, are we, Karl?" "No, of course not." "And it is sweet to think that we have not entirely forgotten old times, isn't it?" "Yes," he answered absently. "And of course if we loved each other still you would not marry, would you, Karl?" "Of course not," he said shortly. "Now you will get married and you will be very, very happy. And I, too, shall be happy, because I want you to marry, and I myself have chosen a sweet, clever girl for you." "Exactly," Karl acquiesced dryly. "And now let us think no more of it." Olga cried, her mood changing to one of gayety. She ran over to the door and turned and faced Karl, knocking loudly on the panel. "Now for work. We have done nothing," she said. "Monsieur, I have come to have my portrait painted." "Come in, madame." Karl said, bowing gravely and entering into her play. "Good morning." "I have come to have my portrait painted," Olga said again. Karl forgot the playing and exclaimed seriously: "Ah, last night I made a memory sketch of you after I got home. I have made many, very many, but now I see you differently." "Why?" Olga asked, startled again by his vehemence. "Yesterday I saw the lines of your figure; today I see your soul," he said. "Yesterday you were a model; today you are an inspiration." "Please, Karl; please, don't. We agreed to end everything," she pleaded. "It is hard to end everything so suddenly." "Karl, my good friend, I did wrong in coming here," Olga said. "Now that I did come, let us work. Take your colors and brush. We must get through with it as soon as possible." "You are right, Olga; as soon as possible." "What shall I do first?" she asked. "Take off your hat and coat, please." Karl stepped toward her with outstretched hands as if to help her. She drew back, with a little gesture of apprehension. "You mustn't touch me," she said. As she brushed him Karl caught a whiff of fragrance from her hair that was intoxicating. "Do you use perfume on your hair?" he asked, quite innocently. "Certainly not," she laughed. "Oh, then, it is the natural perfume of your hair! Pardon me; I stood too close to you." Olga removed her hat and cloak. She looked up and saw that Karl was regarding her intently. "You seem to be studying my features," she said. "I know them by heart, each one," he answered. "I am thinking of a pose. You know your husband wished a half length in evening gown." "Yes, I should have preferred a full length in street costume." "I agree with Herman. You must be quick. It is getting dark." "What shall I do?" "Your waist. You must take it off. You will find some shawls there from which to select one for your shoulders. I will go into the studio." "Oh, Karl!" "Don't mind. I shall close the door. Oh, it is snowing terribly!" he added as he moved toward the big studio. "Snowing! Oh, Karl, can't we postpone this? I don't feel well today. Tomorrow I could come and bring my maid." "Certainly not. Your husband would surely want to know why we did no work today. Now I will leave you." He left the room, closing the studio doors behind him. Olga looked apprehensively about her. Some mysterious presence seemed to oppress her. She fumbled with nerveless fingers at the buttons of her waist. "Oh, what folly!" she cried to herself. "What is the matter with me?" Resolutely she set to work and drew aN ANG) = Ve a eS from her beautiful shoulders and gleaming rounded arms the silken waist that covered them.

Simple Idea Which Means a Doubling of Their Usetuiness. Every good housewife 1s Interested In the care of sheets, and many of them wil lke to hear a few sugges- tons made by an economical and clever woman, She sald: “I never have my sheets made with a small hem on one end. ‘There Is always a threeinch bem on both ends—so there ts no top or dot fom—and the sheets wear just twice ‘as Irng as they otherwise would. It is not difficult to do, for I always have my sheets made in the house by a Seamstress, so they will be the right size, And, speaking of size, do you know what to do when ready-made linen sheets are too short for the beds?” Of course, I did not, so she told me that a false hem might be added, and either fagoted or hemstitched to the one already on the sheet. In this way the sheet could be easily made as long a= desired, and the embroidery only added to the beauty of the sheet, This is certatnly very useful infor- mation, for many « mother has a tall boy who is constantly complaining that the sheets are too short. The ad- dition of the false hem is quickly done, and the extra material required does not form a very large Item in the famlly expense account. FRENCH COATS AND WRAPS.

The lynching of colored men in Tennessee has led to the lynching of white men in this same state. Now the pendulum has swung back the other way and one of the most dastardly murders in modern times is again chronicled. The colored men were not charged with helmous crimes. It was not alleged that they had assaulted white women. They killed and wounded white men in a fair fight. These white men are alleged to have been deputy sheriffs, which means that they were ordinary white men or the most commonplace type, who had been designated to exercise the powers and prerogatives or a sheriff. So far as their general appearances may be concerned, they might be lynchers, violators of the law, instead of men lawfully commissioned to uphold the statutes of Tennessee. The telegraphic reports are graphic as well as interesting. They are humorous as well as tragical. They disclose a state of lawlessness that makes no discrimination on account of race or color for it causes the lynching of a prominent white citizen on Reel Foot Lake and the killing of a white ex-United States Senator upon the streets of Nashville. But to the telegraphic report; here it is: "Union City, Tenn., November 24.—The little town of Tiptonville, bordering on Reel Foot Lake, which has been the scene of many stirring incidents the past month, witnessed the lynching late to-day of three Negroes who were arrested this morning for murdering Special Deputy Sheriff Richard Burriss, and fatally wounding John Hall, a deputy sheriff. The Negroes are Marshall Stinebeck, Edward Stinebeck, John Stinebeck. These brothers created a disturbance at a religious meeting near Tiptonville, Saturday night, and when the two officers attempted to arrest them a fight ensued, the Negroes come out victorious and made their escape." This victory was short-lived as the following report will show: "It was barely daylight Sunday morning before a posse of citizens from Tiptonville and the surrounding country were in pursuit of the Negroes, but they effectually eluded them until 8 o'clock this morning, when they were captured in a little swamp near the village of Ridgeley. The vicinity is known as the old river bed canebrake, and it is difficult to trace man or beast through its tangles. "The Negroes were quickly landed in jail at Tiptonville. When arrested the Negroes had two guns in their possession, but had run out of ammunition. The news of their capture spread rapidly to the surrounding territory, and in addition the several hundred members of the posse began arriving by every road, and soon the jail was surrounded by a mob which threatened a lynching quickly and surely. J. T. Burnett, a well-known lawyer, from the steps of the jail appealed to the mob, admonishing his hearers not to do anything desperate, and to let the law take its course, at the same time promising that full justice would be done the three black men. This met with disapproval, and Mr. Burnett pleaded with the men that if they were determined to lynch the Nuremberg at least the night had fallen. Taylor Hall, a brother of the wounded deputy sheriff, said in effect that a postponement of the lynching would be satisfactory to him. It was soon seen, however, that it would be impossible to stem the tide of feeling of the mob." Then came the most deplorable part of it all, the surrender of the law to the mob, the participation in the murders of the duly authorized officers of the law. The trial was nothing less than a farce and the mob knew it. These court officials had unlawfully entered into a combination with a band of criminals, who should have been then in the county jail. Twelve men, alleging to represent the court together with the judge and sheriff had entered into this combination and then they wanted to rob the mob of its right to continue to participate in this ridiculous miscarriage of justice. The mob said, "No." It stood upon its rights, if it ever had any. It knew that these colored men had fought only as brave men can fight and it wanted blood. When the officials got through convicting, the lynchers held them up to the compact. They wanted to do the hanging and they did it, although the sheriff stood back with evident satisfaction. It was his sworn duty to prevent the murders. We do not know the law in Tennessee and we are puzzled at the designation "justice" instead of judge. In this state, this would apply to magistrates, commonly known as justices of the peace. Here these officials try only misdemeanor cases and do not have juries in their courts. But then it is different in Tennessee. Here is what the report says: "As a las: resort S. J. Caldwell, a townman, and Sheriff Haynes went before Justice Lee Davis and told of the menacing attitude of the crowd which throughed the streets leading to the jail. Justice Davis at once agreed to open his court, and at 5 o'clock summoned a jury of twelve men and allowed the Negroes, after all evidence that could be adduced, was heard, to be duly sentenced to death. "Meanwhile Governor Patterson was advised by telephone of the situation, and ordered a company or militia in this city to proceed with all haste to secure the Negroes and conduct them to a place of safety. The troops were started at once, but failed to arrive in time to prevent the lynching." This then is a violation of a constitutional right guaranteed to every citizen. Here is the way they "tried" them: "At the trial only the evidence of those who had seen the killing was heard, and in an incredibly short time the case was given to the jury, who, in a few minutes, returned a verdict of guilty, and fixing the penalty at death. The sentence had barely been pronounced when the mob with a whoop and a yell, swarmed into the courtroom, seized the Negroes and rushed them to a large tree near the edge of the town, and hanged them, firing volley after volley into the air as the bodies were run over. "The Governor, on being apprised of the trouble about noon to-day, sent the following telegraph message to a half dozen Tiptonville prominent citizens: "Prevent lynching by all means; it will bring additional disgrace and notoriously to our State. As Governor, I implore that the law may take its course. Read this to the people." It would have been far better for the mob to have gone on with the lynching without any interruption by the officers of the law, than that they should have been parties to one of the blackest crimes that has disgraced the name of the commonwealth of Tennessee. These colored men surrendered only when their ammunition had given out. Had it lasted, the presumption is that there would have been a different stroy to this dark tragedy. This Tennessee case reminded us of the one in Oklahoma where Jim Deckard a noted Negro desperado died "with his boots on" and with a bravery that challenges admiration, even though he was steeped in sin and born in iniquity. In many respects, it was similar to the Tennessee case, both as to its origin and its results. Colored men who joined with the officers of the law paid the penalty, so that it was evidently a case where race lines did not figure in the contest. The following graphic account explains itself: OKMULGEE, OK., Nov. 15—In a battle with Jim Deckard, a Negro desperado, four persons were killed here this afternoon and ten were wounded. Deckard, barricaded in a shanty, shot down seven of the attacking party and when wounded he set fire to the house, being cremated. Deckard took refuge in the house after he had shot down Assistant City Marshal Klaber, who had attempted to arrest him. The sheriff was notified, and, with his deputies, attacked the house. The dead: THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA Henry Klaber, assistant police chief Edgar Robinson, sheriff Jim Deckard, desperado Bill and Henry Chapman, Negroes Bill and Henry Chaphap, Negrees. The trouble started in a personal encounter between Jim Grayson, a young Cree man, and the name of Deckard, at the Frisco Depot, about 5:40 o'clock this evening. Deckard and Grayson engaged in a fist fight and the latter was getting the better of the Negro when Deckard, picking up a rock, hit Grayson over the head with it. Deckard then ran, and Grayson phoned up town for the police. Assistant Chief of Police Henry Klaber, in charge of the Okmulguee police force at the time responded to the call and met Deckard at the cross of the road. They met midway between the business center of the city and the Frisco depot. Deckard opened fire on Klaber, killing him. Deckard then took refuge in a small house, where he had evidently secreted a Winchester rifle, and began firing upon all who approached the house. A hurry call was sent for Sheriff Edgar Robinson, who, after summoning several deputies, started for the scene of the trouble. Robinson with his deputies approached the house in which Deckard was barricaded. In the meantime several Negroes had congregated and they were called upon by the sheriff to assist him. Deckard continued firing from the door and windows of the house, and one of the first to fall was Sheriff Robinson. Two of the Negroes also were killed. Two of them were brothers named Chapman. During the melee some nine or ten others were wounded, including Police Chief Dick Farr, hit in the shoulder: a white deputy sheriff, name unknown, shot in the shoulder, and Steve Grayson, who will probably die. The sheriff commissioned Negroes as deputies with the evident intention of saving the lives of white men. In this he was wise as the terrible casualty list will show. Deckard of Oklahoma seems to have been the equal of Bob Brewer of Georgia in rifle practice. That which appeals to us especially is the manner in which he died. The report says: When $^1$ it was seen that it would cost additional lives to capture Deckard, a small house next to where he was hidden was vaulted and fired with the hope that the flames would communicate to the shack in which Deckard had taken refuge. Before the fire reached the house in which Deckard was barricaded he was seen to roll over on the floor, strike a match and set fire to his own house, which was soon a roaring furnace, in which his body was baked. Both houses were burned to the ground and Deckard was roasted to a crisp. While the fire was in progress there was an incessant discharge of cartridges. Deckard has lived in Okmulgee about two years and was recently employed in a Negro jewelry shop. Heretofore he has borne a good reputation. Gov. Haskell, at Guthrie, was notified of the battle and of the bad feeling between whites and Negroes that had grown out of it; and threatened a race riot. The governor at once ordered the militia company at Muskogee to prepare to go to Okmulgee, and a special trian was made ready to carry the troops, the govern-ment in his office to keep in touch with the nation. News of the preparation to send militia here had a good effect on the disorderly element of both races, and at 7 o'clock to-night the crowd had dispersed and further trouble was not expected. When it became known that no other Negro had assisted Deckard against the officers, the talk of reprisals subsided. The following extract explains it self: During the past week District Court has been in session at Okmulgee, and there has been wholesale conviction of Negro bootleggers. Yesterday a protest was made because the white jury convicted the Negroes as fast as they came up for trial. A Negro woman was to be tried Saturday, and Judge Alexander had a special jury composed of Negroes try her. She was acquitted. This has caused a bitter race feelings, and to-morrow an effort will be made to quash the panel of Negro jurors. It was all right for a white jury to convict Negroes with but little regard for the evidence in the cases presented, but it was all wrong for a colored jury to acquit them upon the same principle. That there were grounds for the colored folks complaints was evident, else the judge would not have accorded the colored prisoners a trial at the hands of men of their own race. The moral or it all is that some colored people in some sections of the Southland are getting desperate. The repeated miscarriages of justice and the frequent exercise of the brutal methods of the ante-bellum period are driving them to a condition where they will "fight to the last ditch" and then destroy their own lives rath er than to become the sport of the white hoodlums and the tortured objects of pity to the white brutes who now seem to be swarming in many portions of this sunny land. This then was the last desperate act of a desperate man. He knew that he had reached the end of his tether. He knew that he had concluded the last act of a lawless, dissolute life. He sold that spark that was left as dearly as possible and he plunged into the future, the abyss of that great beyond, without a murmur, after having sent five men on before to meet him. How many times we have wished that the law-abiding, well-meaning persecuted colored men of the Southland, avoiding the bad dissolute qualities of this kind of a Negro would emulate the traits of bravery that he displayed. We have so often wished that they would meet the Negro-hating, hoodlum type of white men with just such a defense and after killing some of their murderers, go "shouting home to glory." "Toll for the brave, The brave that are no more." —Cowper. ARCHBOLD TELLS OF OIL FIGHTS 85.000.000 BARRELS STORED John D. Rockefeller, In Closing His Testimony, Tells of Investing His Tremendous Earnings In Railroad Securities, Mostly Bonds—Declares He Opposed the Keeping of Millions of Dollars Surplus By the Standard Oil Company. New York, Nov. 25.—Closing his testimony in the federal suit to dissolve the Standard Oil company, John D. Rockefeller threw some unexpected light on the popular question of into what channels of investment he turned his tremendous earnings from the oil combination. Mr. Rockefeller was loath to state the names of the railroads in which his investments were made, but did so after entering his objection. The head of the so-called oil trust declared that his holdings in railroads consisted chiefly in bonds, and that, with the exception of a few roads in which he held only small amounts of stock, he preferred the bonds as a form of investment. Mr. Rockefeller appeared greatly delighted that his long ordeal as a witness was over and hurriedly left the room when counsel excused him. Mr. Rockefeller said that he did not think that he should be made to tell the form of his investments, declaring "that the gentlemen over there in the stock exchange might not think it very wise." After some legal contention by counsel, Mr. Rockefeller said he held stock in the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, the New York Central, the Pennsylvania, the Western Maryland, the Missouri Pacific, the Texas Pacific and the Colorado Southern. He said he owned his shares in either the Union or the Southern Pacific. Mr. Rockefeller said he opposed the keeping of millions of dollars of surplus by the Standard. During the cross-examination the following facts were brought out: Original investment of Standard Oil company, $67,000,000; dividends, $591,000,000; surplus, $300,000,000. Stock dividend in 1886, when company had capital of $98,328,000, was $15,000,000. Up to 1906, company's net earnings were $551,922,904. Dividend in 1907, about $30,000,000. Net earnings from 1889 to 1906, about $400,000,000. Net earnings for 1907, about $80,000,000. Nevertheless the business is hazardous. Always present is the fear of fire, since oil is an explosive product. The Pennsylvania railroad in 1877 agreed to give a rebate of 10 per cent of freight rates, but, says Mr. Rockefeller, "we sought to secure what all shippers then and now seek." Later the company got from the Pennsy a rebate of 20 cents a barrel on its own shipments and a rebate on shipments by independent refiners too. John D. Archbold, vice president of the Standard, proved a mine of detailed information, under the direction of the company's counsel, regarding the early production of crude oil and the development of the pipe line system. Mr. Archbold gave his answers in short, brisk manner and seemed possessed of infinite details of the Standard's business from its inception to the present time. Mr. Archbold beamed with satisfaction in telling of the Standard's early history. His clear blue eyes twinkled when he told of the industrial fights, saying that he kept careful watch on his competitor and then "tried to beat him." Mr. Archbold said the Standard found and was now finding much competition abroad. This affected the price paid for crude oil. It was the policy of the company, he said, to take care of all the crude oil produced. Crude oil was stored in tanks holding on an average 35,000 barrels. Mr. Archbold said that there was now stored in tanks 85,000,000 barrels of oil waiting for use. "Why has that been stored?" "Because the production has been ahead of the demand." "And in spite of that the Standard has kept on buying?" "Yes." "How long may this oil be held?" "How long may this oil be held?" "Altogether it is, improbable that this oil now being taken out of the mid-continent field will be used for ten years." Mr. Archbold said that in the early days it was a question of a bargain between the shipper and the railroad. "This continued until the passage of the interstate commerce law," said Mr. Archbold, "and this tremendous talk about our company being peculiar in its relation toward the railroads was very unjust, indeed. The people who made the outcry have done it for ulterior reason." "Did you ever know what your next door neighbor did?" "I did not except what I could find by careful inquiry; then I tried to beat him. When a manufacturer got a rate from a railroad the manufacturer made that a basis of cost which resulted in a benefit to the consumer. That was the general rule I worked under." — For fine printing call at the PLANET Office. CONDENSED NEWS ITEMS.

Johnson, the mayor of Cleveland, O., and who for years has been credited with possessing a very large fortune, announced that he had lost everything and would be compelled to give up his beautiful home on Euclid avenue and move into smaller and less expensive quarters. The mayor also stated that he would give up his automobiles and other luxuries, because he could no longer afford to keep them. His fortune was wrecked, the mayor declared, by his devotion to the afairs of the estate of his dead brother Albert, who was heavily interested in traction property in the east. The Municipal Traction company, of which Mayor Johnson was treasurer, passed into the hands of receivers in the federal court several days ago. Following this came the transfer to two local banks of the Depositors' Savings & Trust company, of which the mayor was president. It is said this action was precipitated by the threats of Mr. Johnson's individual creditors to file suits to obtain payment on notes endorsed by the mayor. Quick Justice One of the briefest criminal cases on record was that tried at Easton, Md., in the circuit court. It took but thirty minutes to hear the testimony of both the state and defense, the arguments for both sides, and for Judge Atkins to pronounce guilty and sentence Clarence Foster, colored, to sight years in the penitentiary for attempting to assault Mrs. Sadie Arrington, wife of Walter Arrington, a prominent farmer living near Easton, on July 15. --- Taken From Jail and Lynched Jim Glimore, a negro, aged twenty, was taken from the guard house in Luray, a small town in Hampton county, S. C., and lynched by a party of enraged citizens. Glimore had attempted to criminally assault one of the daughters of his employer, A. C. Fitts, a prominent farmer, while the young woman and her sister were in bed asleep. Mr. Roosevelt to Speak in London.

White Stork For President Roosevelt, George Myers, an old-time trapper and fisherman of Elwood, Ind., will send to President Roosevelt a snow white stork, which the hunter found in the swamps adjacent to White river, south of Perkinsville. Carnegie Favors Tariff Revleton A notable article from Andrew Carnegie, dealing with the tariff, will appear in the December number of the Century Magazine, in which the ironmaster takes the position that "infant industries" no longer need protection; that the steel and other industries have now grown beyond the need of tariff protection; that duties on luxuries used by the rich should be maintained, but that those on manufactured Receipt That CURES Weak Men FREE, New U.S. PAL OFFICE Any man who suffers from nervous debility, loss of natural power, weak back or failing memory, broubles with his visions, pain or natural drains or the follicles of youth, may cure himself quickly and quietly right in his own home with a simple prescription which I Will Send FREE, in a Plain, Sealed Envelope. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men, and I am convinced it is the surest acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor the cure ever put together. MR. A. E. ROBINSON 3895 Luck Building, Detroit, Mich articles should be reduced greatly, or abolished entirely when no longer needed. Mr. Carnegie says of future tariff legislation: "The next congress dealing with the tariff will probably be inclined at first to reduce duties all around and perhaps to abolish some, but its first care should be to maintain present duties, and even in some cases to increase them, upon all articles used almost exclusively by the rich, and this not for protection, but for revenue, not drawn from the workers, but from the rich. That is the first and prime duty of congress. "Its second duty is to reduce duties greatly upon manufactured articles and to abolish entirely those no longer needed. "The writer has co-operated in making several reductions as steel manufacturers became able to bear reductions. Today they need no protection, unless perhaps in some new specialties unknown to the writer, because steel is now produced cheaper here than anywhere else, notwithstanding the higher wages paid per man." Mr. Carnegie says that several other features of the tariff should be carefully looked into, more particularly illuminating oils, thread and cutlery. --- Grandson Shot Read as Chum Held Him The circumstances surrounding the murder of aged William Read at Vineyard, N. J., were apparently made clear by the confession of Herbert Grigg, who, with Walter Zeller, Read's grandson, and Cline Wheeler, were arrested for the crime. Grigg, who at first denied knowledge of the murder, admitted that he took an active part in the murder. He said that Zeller told him that Read had between $1000 and $1500 in the house and the three went there to get it. He and Wheeler jumped upon Read as he lay in bed and held him while Zeller searched for the money. When Read awoke Zeller beat him over the head with a revolver. Subsequently he shot his grandfather, who struggled to his feet and seized Grigg. Finally the aged man fell struggling to the floor, with his arms around Grigg. Zeller then shot his grandfather in the head, according to Grigg. The latter says the blood spurted over his sweater and face, and after they left the house he washed the sweater to remove the traces of blood. The actual shooting of Read, all three of the boys say, was due to the fact that the aged man recognized his grandson. The thought that he had been discovered and would be exposed, Grigg says, made Zeller crazy and he attacked his grandfather in his frenzy. The boys secured a small amount of money. Grigg says he got $6 and Wheeler $5. --- Fifteen Dead In Gas Explosion: Fifteen persons lost their lives in an explosion of gas which tore up Gold street, Brooklyn. The explosion occurred in a fifty-foot deep excavation, where a water main was being laid. The gas main recently sprung a leak, and in a manner unknown a spark came in contact with escaping gas. Immediately there was a terrific explosion that lifted the surface of the street for half a block in both directions and hurled dirt, paving stones and debris into the air. Gold street was crowded with school children when the explosion occurred, and that scores of children were not killed or injured was remarkable. A woman and three children were almost opposite the excavation when the earth crumbled under their feet and they were swept down into the hole under tons of wreckage. Two other children were on the opposite side of the street when the sidewalk caved in and they lost their lives. Admits He Caused Death of Father. John Hinkle, Jr., of Upper Lehigh, near Hazleton, Pa., gave himself up to Squire Buckley, of Freeland, and confessed that he struck the blow which caused the death of his father, John Hinkle, last week. He was held awaiting the action of the coroner. Young Hinkle said that on Nov. 6 his father came home from work and took the last dollar in the house to buy whisky. Then he returned and abused the family. Hinkle, the son, threw half a brick at his father and hit him on the head, resulting in a fractured skull. Lucky Stone Caused His Death Oscar Brown, thirty years of age, of Ridley Park, near Chester, Pa., was walking along the Pennsylvania railroad tracks with a companion when he stooped to pick up what appeared to be a lucky stone, at the curve above Crum Lynne station. He was struck and instantly killed by the express train due at Chester at 10.21.

'08 World's Temperance Sunday Sunday School Lesson for Nov. 29, 1908 Specially Arranged for This Paper LESSON TEXT.—Isaiah 28:1-13. Memory verse, verse 11. GOLDEN TEXT.—I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection.—I Cor. 9:27. Comment and Suggestive Thought. In order to understand this great prophecy of Isaiah, our lesson for today, we must first have a vivid realization of— The Historical Situation.—Read 2 Kings 17:1-23; 18:1-10; Chron. 29, 30 It is about 725 B. C. Isaiah, the royal prophet, was in Jerusalem, the capital of Judah. The good King Hezekiah, the rulers and leaders of the state were his audience. The nations were going astray, they were worldly, drunken, selfish, cruel, luxurious, oppressing the poor, neglecting religion, forgetting God. From the northwest were coming great bordes of Assyrian soldiers devastating everything on their way. They had reached the northern kingdom of which Samaria was the capital. Like an overwhelming scourge these semi-savage armies were overrunning the country with all wanton crimes and cruelties, destroying everything good. They were sweeping away cities and villages, farms, cattle, orchards—everything. The prophet sees them drifting, as in the rapids of Niagara, swiftly toward destruction. He sees the storm-clouds on the horizon threatening tempests and lightning blasts and destruction. Within three or four years Samaria, the capital, was captured, and the northern kingdom swept out of existence by the Assyrians. But the people of Jerusalem felt comparatively safe, for their city was a mighty fortress, a very Gibraltar, rarely captured, and probably it never could be captured if the people within were brave, united and true. The prophet, pointing to the northern kingdom, warns his own people that nothing could save them if they continued to sin. "Repent, or that overwhelming scourge will sweep over Judea and Jerusalem in its devastating course." V. 1. "Woe." Not a wish or a prayer for woe, but a warning that woe was coming. "To the crown of pride." The capital, so called, because it crowned the hill, or because its battlement walls resembled a crown. "To (better 'of) the drunkards of Ephraim," put for the whole kingdom, because Ephraim was the leading tribe. "Whose glorious beauty." The "glorious beauty" of Samarla was a beauty of magnificent luxury. "Summer" and "winter houses," distinct each from the other (Amos 3:15); "livery palaces" (1 Kings 22:39; Amos 3:15); a wealth of "gardens, vineyards, fig-orchards and olive yards" (Amos 4:9); residences of "hewn stone" (Amos 5:11); feasts elvivened with "the melody of viols" (Amos 5:23); "beds of ivory" (Amos 6:4); "wine in bowls" (Amos 6:6); "chief ointments" (Amos 6:6) constituted a total of luxurious refinement beyond which few nations had proceeded at the time—Rawlinson. "Is a fading flower." It was a kind of beauty that was liable to fade. It had nothing of the riches that endure. V. 2. "The Lord hath a mighty and strong one." The Lord would use the Assyrian power, "as a tempest of hall, and a destroying storm" to punish the wickedness which was injuring the people far more than the Assyrian hordes could their outward prosperity. V. 4. "As the hasty fruit." R. V., "the first ripe fig," swiftly decaying or destroyed by the birds. V. 5. Turning from this "crown of pride" and "fading flower" and "decaying fruit" of sin, the prophet points to the only true "crown of glory and . . . diadem of beauty, the Lord of hosts." V. 6. For he would bring to them the "spirit of judgment," justice, right courness, and turn back "the battle at the gate," defeating and scattering their enemies. V. 7. Then he shows one source of their woes, "erred through wine . . . out of the way . . . through strong drink," therefore "they err in vision, they stumble in judgment." The Jerusalem drinkers indignantly ask: V. 9. "Whom shall he teach knowledge?" What right has Isaiah to talk to us thus? Are we babies just weaned from the milk? Are we mere school children to be chided and warned in this way? V. 10. "For precept must be upon precept." The R. V. gives the true meaning: "For it is precept upon precept." The prophet is telling the same story all the time, continually repeating, everywhere, all the time, in season, out of season, the same old warning. The prophet answers: "This seems monotonous to you, but you will have another kind of monotony if you do not give heed to my words." "For with stammering lips." Better as R. V., "For by men of strange lips, and with another tongue." (viz., that of the Assyrian hordes) "will he speak to this people (11) to whom he said, This is the rest . . . this is the refreshing." God had pointed out to them how they might have rest and prosperity. "yet they would not hear (12)." 13. Therefore by the Aesyrian invasion, they should find "precept upon precept," etc., a monotonous teaching by afflictions and sorrows, "till they . . . fall backward, and be broken," as came to pass in after years. MAKE NICE LITTLE PRESENTS. Filmy Summer Handkerchiefs Can Be Turned Into Cravats. A girl who makes her own Christmas presents, and has many of them to make, should look about her at this time and pick up exquisite handkerchiefs, which are reduced because they are soiled. These sales happen in all the shops about this time. Filmy handkerchiefs have been brought out for summer use, not all of them have been sold, and the remaining ones have been handled until they are not quite fresh. They are, therefore, thrown on the counters for about half price. The girl who doesn't want handkerchiefs passes them by. She is wrong. She should pick them up, because they make excellent cravats which she can send as gifts. The fashion of the day, which shows no sign of decreasing, is the one for many pieces of smart neckwear. No matter what kind of a collar a girl wears, a stock or a turnover, she wants a bow, or a jabot, or a plaited frill to wear in front. Now, fine handkerchiefs make one or two of these at a small cost. If the handkerchief is small, it is finely plaited, doubled back on itself about two-thirds of its length and makes a double jabot with one end shorter than the other. But the handkerchief may be cut in half to make two cravats. The edges are finished with a small point of Irish crochet, as this seems to be the lace of the day for all neckear—Philadelphia Ledger. TO WARD OFF AGE. Never Allow Yourself to Feel Dread of Advancing Years. The way to ward off old age is not to fear it, not to allow one's self to be oppressed by the dread of advancing years. Use only legitimate preventives and avoid trying experiments with preparations not indoors by physicians. Do not wear toilers intended for young girls. They only add years to the appearance. Keep up your interest in the young, but do not envy them. Retire with dignity from the struggle; do not pose as your daughter's rival. Above all, surround your life with sweet true affections, which prevent the heart from growing bitter. Do not lose interest in the growing events of the day; do not fall behind the times, and do not harp on other and better days. To those who come to you for advice be always kind and sympathetic. As you advance in years preserve carefully your personal appearance, for once lost it may not be regained save by strenuous effort. Last of all, your costume should be simple and unpretentious, yet graceful. These rules, carefully and sensibly followed, will keep you young and attractive. A PRETTY DEVICE. ```markdown ``` Many pretty notions in photograph holders are to be seen, and among them this pretty arrangement from Paris. It is a triangular panel covered with old gold plush and framed and divided into two sections by a Louis XVI. galon, with bows and loops of satin ribbon. At the back of the top one is inserted a loop of gold cord to suspend the frame to the wall. A bunch of crimson carnations is fastened lightly at one side. "Flower" Face. In the meantime not to be wearing a big ruche or frill of some kind is to be incompletely costumed, and, regardless of whether or not they are becoming, every girl puts on one. Truth to tell, it is only that rarely to be seen "flower" face that does not suggest toothache when surrounded by one of the high frills. If there is the least breadth of jaw the ruche emphasizes it in a truly distressing manner, and a girl who might look fairly pretty becomes hideous. Feather boas of any description are far kinder in effect, because of being softer, and a girl whose mirror tells her her face is not of the "delicate" type will do well to wear a feather neckpiece rather than a ruche. Embroidery Frame for Mending: In many instances an embroidery hoop will be found a great help when mending. Underwear will be found much easier to mend when put over the frame, because this holds it firmly in place, while if the frame is not used the garment is apt to be pulled out of shape in the mending. When mending any kind of a hole in any material, be sure to press the mended portion carefully on the wrong side of the material, for this will make it less unsuspectuous. Why is it? Why is it that the woman who is a man hater always tries to make herself look like a woman? THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA MADE FOR UTILITY SIMPLICITY MARKS OUTFIT OF THE SCHOOL GIRL. Wardrobe Contains Nothing That Is Useless or Unnecessary—House Frecks in Many Shades of Cashmere Worn. The most conspicuous feature of dressmaking for school girls in this day and age is the simplicity of the outfit as a whole. Or perhaps the better term would be its utility and compactness. Time was when the mother, picking up a remnant of this and another of that, built by degrees a fall ward- ALICE In Ivory Lansdowne. robe containing many useless and unnecessary articles. To-day the mother who is up to date and a good manager plans her daughter's outfit as judiciously as she does her own. Instead of giving the girl a number of changes in "bargain" raliment the latter gets a few good things and is taught how to take care of them. The girl in her teens has an outfit planned very much on her mother's. For school days she has two costumes, a stout tailored suit for clear weather, a rain skirt and waterproof coat for stormy weather. For best wear, church, visiting, the matinee, etc., she has a better tailored suit or a one-piece frock with matching hat and separate jacket. She will have in addition a pretty house frock to wear at home and relieve her tailored clothes, an evening dress and something simple and strong to wear when helping mother around the house. For house frocks worn by girls of all ages, cashmere is in great demand and it comes in some exquisite shades showing to great advantage under artificial light. These include geranium, red-copper, peach and old rose, sapphire, turquoise and Persian, hyacinth and prune, canelle, frieze and morocco—all variants of such staple hues as red, blue, purple and brown. Silk braids and folds of self-tone messagea or soft satin are used to trim these frocks, with plenty of tucked net or all-over lace at throat and wrist. Like her mother, the young girl is coming back to long sleeves, and the thin girl can wear the shirred or mousquetaire sleeves admirably. Another fabric very popular for house frocks is lansdowne, which is more silky and lighter weight than cashmere. In many shades it can be washed and is particularly useful for simply fashioned gowns on this account. For young girls the princess design elaborately inset with lace and softened by a silken girdle and sash ends is extremely good, but the girls in their later teens find empire frocks very becoming, especially the high, full-backed skirt. A pretty frock for the girl just entering her teens is the one of ivory-white lansdowne, trimmed with cardinal red braid in a rather heavy silk design, with a finish of tassels. This model is most effective on the tall, thin girl. When Pictures Fall Some housewives wonder that their pictures and mirrors crash to the floor, never knowing it is their own fault. They blame the trouble on jarring trolley cars, and blasting by the city; when the wire is rotted. It is not generally known that the life of wire is about three years. To prevent calamity it is a good thing to wire all the pictures of the house at once and renew it before its allotted time to wear out. Metal-Rimmed Buttons Because women complained loudly last year of braid and cloth buttons wearing out so soon, the new ones have a metal rim, which entirely protects the edges. The mold inside may be covered with any material desired and the metal cap fitted on. Horn is also used as well as bone, and it is possible that both the latter look better on a rough serge or cheviot suit than buttons with rims of metal Colored Handkerchiefs Colored handkerchiefs become more and more in vogue every day, and now when they match not only the hat, but the parasol, they are almost, a rage. The tiny glove mouchoirs are extremely ornate, and a dainty corner peeping forth from the chamois gauntlet is most attractive. Rock and Rye Many a man has been wrecked on the rock of adversity, but there is generally a little rye on the side. Philadelphia Record.

LIVE STOCK PHOSPHATE FOR HOGS Why They Need Food Containing This Element. A noted veterinary authority says: "If hogs show a tendency to weakness on the legs, feed less corn and more bran." The reason why bran is good for weak bones is, that it contains more phosphate than corn. But if the farmer has provided himself with a few bags of raw ground phosphate rock, he will find it an excellent thing to sprinkle a little of it on the floor of the pen every day. The hogs will root for it greedily. Two years ago we studied the phosphate experiment made with pigs, at the Wisconsin experiment station. It was most convincing of the truth of the statement we have made, declares the Hoard's Dairyman. Three pens of pigs, of three each, were taken for the experiment. One lot was fed as farmers ordinarily feed hogs; the second lot was fed the same as the first, except that a little phosphate was added to their food daily. The effect was astonishing in the increased strength of the second lot. But it was with the third lot that the full truth was unfolded. This lot was fed food from which all the phosphate had been extracted by washing, but the process left all other elements such as the nitrogen and potash, in full strength. The effect of this loss of phosphate on these pigs was very striking. They were stunted in size though well covered with fat, and at the stage of the experiment we saw them, they could not stand on their legs a minute. Get one of them upon his feet for a moment and he would commence to falter at once. Here was a lesson in the principles of nutrition that was very valuable to the man who can take it. Phosphorus is one of the most important elements we have for the support of the brain, nerve and bone in animal life, and for seed growth in plants. We have always noticed that our own hogs will at once commence to root in and cat the ground phosphate when we sprinkle it on the floor of their pens. A small handful each day to each hog is valuable for the animal and the greater efficiency of the manure. HOG TRAP FOR RINGING TIME. Contrivance That Will Make the Task an Easy One. The accompanying illustration shows a handy device for ringing and separating hogs. The front and adjustable bars only are represented, but the body is in the shape of an oblong box, long and deep enough to admit any sized hog and narrow enough to prevent his turning around. The parts of the front illustrated as G C and H D should be made double, with the pieces E and F between the strips. The double pieces of GC should be connected with four strong bolts, and the pieces of H D should have holes bored through them; then the bars are put down and the forked end Device for Ringing and Separating Hogs. rests on a bolt, while an iron pin is put through H D. and the bar also, making it stationary. The adjustable hand bars A and B should be made of two by four lumber, and slightly hollowed out, so as to fit the neck of the hog. They are forked on the end and so fit the bolts that are in G C. The back of the trap is made like the front, says Prairie Farmer, but no bars are used. Instead a board is dropped down in place, thereby keeping the hog from backing out. The hog is admitted at the back, and when he gets to the front he is gripped around the neck with the bars. The iron pin is put through each bar and the holes of H D. He is held in this position while being rung after which one of the bars is slipped out and the hog passes on. Give Young Sow a Rest. After a young sow brings her first litter it is a good plan to give her a rest before breeding again. The first litter is the hardest draft on the system of the dam, and for this reason if no other she should have rest Must Be Considered. With the increased value of pasture lands comes the necessity for con- sidering the milk producing power of beef cows. Dusty Hog Yard Objectionable. A dusty hog yard is objectionable because the dust gets into the lungs of the hogs and causes trouble. HOG SELF-FEEDER: Convenient Receptacle for Holding Charcoal, Salt, Etc., for Animals. A good box or self-feeder for charcoal, salt, etc., for hogs can be made from a box with a frame of four by four inch pine, strongly braced with two by four inch pine, set inside a hollow box with faring sides, as indicated in the drawing. It should have cone-shaped center. The corner costs of the box should be toe-nailed to the bottom. The whole or upright art should be made of matched lumber, leaving an open space on each of the four sides at the bottom of about three inches for the mixture to work down where the hogs can get it. The box should be covered to prevent rain getting the mixture wet. Our plan in making cob charcoal continues the writer in Breeders' Gauge, is to dig a pit five feet deep and about five feet in diameter. If the soil is such that there is danger of caving wall the pit up with brick or stone. Have a sheet iron cover made large enough to cover the top of the pit. Start fire in pit and add cobs as fast as those burning come to a glow or recoals. Keep doing this till the pit is full. Then pour on one or more bars of water in which enough salt has been dissolved to make it quite salty. About two pounds of copper pul SECTIONAL VIEW Sectional View of Feeder. verized and dissolved in the water would be a good preventive of worms. Pour this water over the burning man till the fire is put out. Then cover the pit with the iron cover, being sure that no air can get under the cover to cause it again to burn. Leave till the next day when you will have a pit full of a fine mixture that your hoss will eat in preference to anything you can offer them. Wood ashes in proportion of eight parts ashes to one part salt will also be a good mixture to keep before horses. AUTUMN AND WORK HORSES Do Not Neglect Them or Half-Feed Them When Hard Work Is Over. It always seems like a cruel, as well as a risky practice, to work the horses through the spring, summer and fall, feeding them well and grooming them, then as soon as the heavy work is finished take the grain away from them and turn them out to shift for themselves. In the first place, their systems are not accustomed to the grass feed, and it is a shock to them—an abrupt letdown. It is no wonder if they lose flesh rapidly and their general appearance becomes one of sad dejection and unthriftiness. The frost-bitten grass is not sufficient to sustain them; they eat a great deal of it, get pedgy, lose flesh and ambition rapidly. The system is not prepared to stand against the cold, frosty nights and stormy days, and the consequence is that they catch cold and some attain that condition of stomach and lungs called the heaves. The thoughtless owner often attributes the depreciation in value and usefulness to bad luck, instead of bad management. I believe it is a good plan, continues this correspondent of the Orange Judd Farmer, to give the work horses a run to grass after the heavy work is done, but would not take all the grain away, nor leave them out nights and during cold storms. The run at fall grass will save part of the hay, but it should not constitute the whole diet. It is bad management to let the horses run down in flesh now when they can be sustained on much less grain, and at less cost, than they can be put in condition with toward spring. Exercise in the field each day is very beneficial, and the taste of grass is a change which they relish; but do not go to extremes and overdo the matter. The prudent man who has in mind the comfort of his animals, as well as the financial value of them, will keep a watchful eye on them and jealously guard them against conditions that will depreciate them in appearance, value and usefulness. STOCK NOTES. Cornstalks contain a large overbalance of starchy materials and should not be used in balancing a ration of corn. Cattle differ greatly in their grazing power. This is largely a matter of inheritance. Corn and clover hay or corn and alfalfa hay make a good balance in the ration. If you would raise large sheep, do not breed the ewes before they are a year to 18 months old. Also feed liberally. Allow one ram to every 40 or 50 ewes and take the rams away as soon as the breeding season is over. The number of pigs to the litter can be increased by continually picking out the sow pigs from the biggest litters. If you are feeding a small amount of corn to sows on pasture shell ir and scatter it widely. Then no ons will get more than her share. Few Carry Life Insurance. Of those who die only about 11 per cent. are insured. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA It takes a big heart to guide little folk. He who fears has his greatest foe within.

Cheap notoriety sometimes costs more than the other kind. And there are girls who dislike being kissed—by the wrong fellow. Few men are as wicked as they like to have women think they are. A woman may have an old hat on her head and a new one on her mind. Every old widower realizes that the whole world loves to laugh at a lover. The average man is what he is because some woman thinks that's what he ought to be. Perhaps nothing is calculated to worry a pessimist more than the noise made by people who shout for joy. Although a married man may never have been a witness in a lawsuit, he usually knows what it is to be cross-examined—Chicago News WISE PARAGRAPHS Count it a crime to let a truth slip.—Browning.

It is a great thing to mix betimes with clever people. One picks their brains unconsciously.-Bulwer Lytton THE CROSSROAD SOLOMON Peace societies do little business in time of war. Cupidity makes the occupation of the swindler a profitable one. When you judge men by their pretentious promises, you later discover your mistake. Dreams of empire never fall to bring a long train of undesirable realities to mankind. The reduction of inequalities of life is the essence of the science of statesmanship and religion.

A nature faker is a woman who uses an old stocking for a rat. There are lots of old settlers in our midst who never settle for anything. What's in a name? A pessimist is a feller that stays to hum and waits for it to rain, while the other folks go to the picnic. The only way to git the laugh on a magazine editor is to tear up your manuscript and throw it into the fire before sending it. Hi Spink's latest heir was born with a full set of teeth, and Hi don't know whether he is going to be a president or an ironjawed man in some circus.

Hiram Huggins has got a new outmobile, which he calls a "runabout." It will run about 40 rod, and then they have to gift out and fix it.—Judge. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR GIRL. Every new club house is just another advertisement that marriage is a failure. A man never kisses a pretty girl unless he is tempted to, a fiancee unless he wants to, and a wife unless he has to. A "high-browed" woman has about the same peculiar fascination for the average man as the strong armed lady in the side show. A man's astonishment when a girl accepts him is not so much at the fact that she took him as at the fact that he gave her the chance. One reason why women dress so extravagantly is probably because it takes such an expensive frock to get a cheap compliment out of a husband. Success with the opposite sex depends entirely on how cleverly a woman can pretend to be indifferent to the men with whom she is in love, and how skillfully a man can pretend to be in love with the women to whom he is indifferent.-Helen Rowland, in New York World. QUAKER MUSINGS Most of the stars in the theatrical armament are merely rockets. We all might take lessons from the shoemaker. He puts his sole into his work. If we could read the future as we can the past it would probably be just as unsatisfactory. Some women are born heirs, and some acquire airs, and others have heirs thrust upon them. The only man who can afford to buy champagne on a beer income is the proprietor of a brewery. It's all right to whisper sweet nothings, but if a fellow really wants to marry he must make a noise like real money.

He passed on, but when he mentioned, we handed him one of our cards. NO APLOGY NEEDED He was evidently much embarrassed. "I hope you will excuse me sir," he said, "I meant no offense." We told him that we did not so regard it. That as each banker had his name printed and placed in the badge he wore, it was a common thing for the name to be read by those desirous of knowing who he was. This incident was amusing and especially when we informed him too that we were only colored delegate that had ever attended a session of the American Bankers' Association. THOSE PULLMAN PORTERS Night crept quietly upon us. Darkness veiled the plains from view and save the rumbling of the car-wheels and the lights of the palatial Pullman, we were again buried in thought aroused only by the action of the Pullman porter, who proceeded to make down the berths for the tired passengers to waft themselves unconsciously to the dawn of another day. There is something peculiar, yet it is remarkable about these "colored sentinels" of the railways. Go North, East, South or West and these polite, blue-coated servants of the Pullman company will greet you. A DIVERSITY OF CALLINGS They are sometimes as stolical as an Indian and as polite as a dancing master. You may find men who have studied theology, law and medicine. You may find scholars as well as artisans. You may find men from the farm and the plantations, yet they all have a renew feeling one for the other and even when a high-founding member of the colored race is discriminated against, they are silent only to give vent to their pent up feelings against some Negro-hating conductor, within the confines of their quarters or over a glass of cheering beverage in a restaurant. IN OMAHA, NEBRASKA We arrived at Omaha on Wednesday morning, October 7, 1908 at 7 o'clock. We had written to Mr. T. P. Mahammitt, editor of the Enterprise. His reply came, after we had left Denver, so we found ourselves a stranger in a strange city, standing in the midst of a throng of white men who were on the way to the drawings of land at the Rosebud agency in the Dakotas. We placed our satchel in the parcel room and strolled to what appeared to be the building where the air was bracing. It was $ 0'clock when we decided to call at Mr. Mahammitt's office in Union Block. THE WONDERFUL CURES We met the aged janitor, who was quite sociable. He told of wonderful cures made by a man, who was part Indian, and he specified the remedies, all of which we remembered for just about five minutes after he was telling us. One was a case of consumption and the other was a case of dropsy all or which had been given up by the doctors. He knew all about these things, but very little about Mr. Mahammitt gave that his lady clerk usually came at 8 o'clock and that she was due there then. We looked at the locked door, and smiled in our bewilderment and proceeded to get acquainted with Omaha on our own motion. MR. MAHAMMITT'S OFFICE We went to the other station which seemed to be the new one and enjoyed a good breakfast being content then to wait three hours longer if need be for Mr. Mahammitt. When we returned again, we found Mrs. Eva M. Robinson, a bright-eyed industrious compositor doing double service of answering calls and setting type. She called up Mr. Mahammitt and it was not long before he was there welcoming us to the city of Omaha. Then we talked and laughed, and laughed and talked. A QUESTION OF RACE PREJUDICE Previous to this, we had met Porter J. B. Newsom in the depot. He liked to talk and it was not long before he was relating his experiences as a porter extending over a decade. He had been with the royalty, when Buffalo Bill led them a chase on the plains. "Tell me," said we, "in all of your travels" the United States, if there is any place where you found absolutely no race prejudice." He shook his head sadly in the negative, expressing the opinion that it was no where more in evidence than at Los Angeles, Cal. "Tell me then," said "where you have found least race prejudice." "Chicago," was his slow response. "Good God!" was our involuntary exclamation. It caused a laugh and after further comment, we bled him good day and went on our way to see the sights of the city. SOME PEOPLE THERE We met Silas Robins, Esq., Dr. A. G. Edwards, Mr. Joseph Carr, Mr. Alfred Jones, Mrs. J. C. Collier, Mrs. Robert Burns, Mr. and Mrs. L. A. smallwood, Miss Eulalia S. Overall, H. J. Pinkett, Esq. and Dentist Peples. The latter had been married recently and his six months experience had made him as voluble and as emphatic on the duties and beauties of married life as a country lawyer prac tion before the bar with his first client. He furnished much argument for us and we furnished more to him and the listeners. It was a warm argument and we enjoyed the discussion. THE WATER WORKS We visited the water works at Florence, the town adjoining, where the Mormons camped on the way West. The works are owned by a corporation and a bitter fight is being waged for their possession by the city. They have a settling basin that doesn't settle. The water is a shade worse than that of James River Returning to Omaha, we wended our way to Mr. Mahammitt's cosy mansion. We confess that he had taste in the selection of his better she has as taste in the arrangement of his names. The supper we enjoyed there demonstrated that she was past mistress at the business of tempting the appetite We regretted that one night's rest was all we had time to secure in the "home of the Mahammitt." THE LADIES OF THE WEST We were invited to attend a reception at Bay Right Hall Wednesday night in honor of the Misses Newsom who were leaving to attend the State Normal School at Emporia, Kansas. We met the society, the 400 of Omaha here. The ladies as a rule are tall and buxom, with winning ways that would cause a whirl in the head of the average man. They were gay and understood "tripling the light fantastic toe" to perfection. For an hour or more we gazed upon this scene of western loveliness and then when the midnight hour came and the "Home, Sweet Home" of the orchestra announced the end, we walked at the side of one of Mr. Mahammitt's guests and a few moments later were entering the door-way of our cosy but lovely bed-room where a few moments later we were sleeping as though we had reached the end of our long journey. THANKS TO THE BURGLAR. The dark lantern flashed through the flat. Then came the gleam of a revolver. "Hands up!" hissed the head of the family. "You're a burglar!" "Yyes," gasped the intruder, as he faced the cold steel. "What have you stolen?" "Your wife's pug dog." "H'm! Er—if that's all you may sneak out quietly." "And your mother-in-law's parrot." "You don't say. Well, here is some loose change." "And your daughter's phonograph." "Good! Here's some more loose change." "Also your son's punching bag." "What! Great Scot, man, come out to the library and I'll open a special bottle. There certainly will be some peace in this flat from now on." Ostriches Many stories are told of the foolishness of the ostrich. Everybody has heard, for instance, how this bird will bury its head in the sand and conceive itself altogether hidden. There can be no reasonable doubt that the species goes to great lengths of folly. And yet, if the testimony of reliable naturalists may be taken, dark ostriches don't bleach themselves with peroxide of hydrogen in the belief that society will thereupon deem them blondes. Nor do they resort to rats, expecting to create the impression that their feathers fuff naturally—Puck.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA THE DISCOVERY AND A SAD AFTERTHOUGHT. "Caleb, we've got it!" The early morning light was throwing its feeble rays through the observatory. The two astronomers—their shaggy heads together over the table, whereon was spread large groups of figures—gazed at each other in solemn awe over the wonderful discovery they had just made. "Yes," whispered the one who had spoken. "Here it is; there is no error—we have checked off everything. In three months, eight hours, 39 minutes and 20 seconds—19—18—17—seconds from now this comet, the largest one known in the history of the universe, will come into conjunction with our orbit, and this little earth, with all its inhabitants—everything—will vanish utterly, in the twinkling of an eye." The other astronomer took up his penult, his hands trembling with excitement. "That's right!" he muttered. "We have allowed for everything. There can be no mistake. We have aimed independently at the same conclusion." He smiled triumphantly. "It's a great discovery, Gideon!" he exclaimed. "Think of it—the greatest discovery known!" Then he turned and looked at his companion fixedly. "There's only one thing that troubles me," he observed. "And that—" "Who's going to give us credit when it all comes true?"—Life A STOLEN KISS Grace—I think a stolen kiss the most terrible thing I ever heard of.

Sweet Love, that seems not made to fade away. Sweet death that seems to make us love- less clay; I know not which is sweeter, no, not I. I fain would follow love, if that could be; I needs must follow death, who calls for me; My heart is full of song, my lips are scant of speech, It is you, you, you, it is us, each to each! It is happy winds of dawn that blow the world awake. It is sunlight, teaping sunlight on the ripple-crested ink! O, the wave of love in me that sweeps up with it memory.
