The Ring-side Followers Frantic—A Remarkable Scene. Referee Ends Fierce Battle in the Fortieth Round. Richmond Arena, Cal., Feb. 22.—His face battered to a pulp, his eyes closed, covered with blood, and staggering helplessly about the ring, Battling Nelson, conqueror of Joe Gans, was saved from a knock-out in the fortieth round of his fight with Ad Wolgast today when Referee Eddie Smith humanely stopped an unequal contest. Nelson, game to the last, stood in the center of the ring, and though he could hardly raise his hands, begged to be allowed to continue. He was led to his corner heart-broken. In the opposite corner of the ring the new lightweight champion of the world, Ad Wolgast, of Cadillac, Mich., was lifted to the shoulders of his trainers while the big crowd cheered. HAD ONE CHANCE Only once did Nelson have a chance. In the twenty second round, with a stinging right cross to the jaw, he staggered Wolgast and before the round closed he dropped Wolgast in the middle of the ring with a similar blow. Three seconds were toled before Wolgast regained his feet. The crowd prepared to leave the arena as the word went from bench to bench that another boy had fallen victim to the wonderful durability of the Dane. But in the next round Wolgast recuperated, and from then on slowly but surely wore Nelson down. COULDN'T SEE OR HEAR For twelve rounds before the finish Nelson seemed bewildered and his blews were delivered as though his arms were stiff. From the thirtieth round Nelson could hardly see or hear. The left side of his face had lost all semblance of its former contour. He staggered and bung on. In the thirty-seventh round he was all but out. In the thirty-eighth round John Robinson, Nelson's manager, wanted to throw one sponge into the ring, but Abdul the Turk, another of the seconds, tore it from his hands and threw it into the bucket.

Baltimore, Feb. 22.—Joe Gans, former lightweight champion, tonight issued a challenge to Ad Wolgast for a twenty-round contest, to be fought anywhere the champion wishes and under any conditions he may name. Gans said that he would go to New York next week and post $1,000 to bind the agreement if accepted, and that he would also make a side bet of $5,000. "This thing is not a question of money, however," the former champion added, "and I want it understood that I believe I can lick Wolgast." Gans declared he was in good physical condition and was confident that he could get back to his old-time form.

RICHARD HAMILTON. WILLIAM HAMILTON. BENJAMIN HAMILTON. Dr. W. F. Graham Writes of the Work of the Virginia Baptist State Convention. Richmond, Va., Feb. 22, 1910. To the Members and Friends of the Virginia Baptist State Convention and our Educational Work:— Dear Friends:— Very recently the Virginia Theological Seminary and College at Lynchburg was put at a sore disadvantage by reason of a rigid quarantine enforced for more than two weeks, thus cutting off financial and other supplies and incapacitating the faculty for work. During all that time 110 students were shut up in the building not allowed to be taught, not allowed to go anywhere, and the other half of the school shut out in the city. You can readily see that President Diggs and the faculty have met with sore reverses. Therefore in order to meet pressing needs and carry the work on properly at $700.00 is needed. The Executive Committee ordered letters sent out to all the churches appealing for help. To my personal knowledge some responses have been immediate. The Grand Old Court St. Baptist Church, Lynchburg, soon raised $22.10, Dr. W. W. Brown, of Pittsburg, Dr. s. $30.00 from his church, Dr. S. A. Moses of Harrisonburg, Va., s. $15.50, Dr. W. T. Hall sent his personal check for $5.00, Dr. C. H. Phillips, $2.00, Fifth Street Baptist Church, Richmond, Va., $22.07, Fifth Street Sunday School $2.25, The National Baptist Sunday School Union $2.00. We are asking every church in the bounds of the state convention and its educational territory to send something at once to President J. R. L. Diggs, Lynchburg, Va. STILL ALIVE Be it understood brethren that the principles upon which the Virginia Baptist State Convention stands are still alive. They will ever be alive. We cannot go back from them, we must be manly, we must do something for ourselves in a way that will gain for us respect and appreciation. Indeed the principles which we represent are spreading everywhere. Negroes throughout the broadland are beginning to learn that if they would succeed in life self-help must be an underlying principle of their civilization. Already more farms are being bought, more homes secured, better churches built, hotels opened, more than fifty banks running successfully and a thousand other enterprises which heretofore have not been entered into by the Negro race are now being managed and controlled by its leaders. It must be remembered that this widespread manly, noble high stand taken by the race has been largely instigated and urged on by the course taken by those of us who represent the Virginia Baptist State Convention and the great National Baptist Convention. THE GREATEST NEGRO ORGANIZATION. It must be remembered that we are a part of the greatest Negro Organization in the world. There are in the United States in round numbers 2,040,000 Negro Baptists. All of these belong to the National Baptist Convention except about 35,000 thus leaving in the National Baptist Convention 2,005,000. Now by brethren, this righty army of Negro Baptists constitute that great force which controls the Negro Baptist schools of the country, the Foreign Mission work in Africa, the great National Baptist Publishing House, Nashville, Tenn., nearly all the Negro banks of this country, nearly all the insurance companies, more than half of the Negro newspapers, the most prominent Negro men of the world, and the bulk of the Negro's wealth. Did you know that no other Negro church in all the world has ever raised $7,500 in one rally but a Negro Baptist Church? Ask Dr. W. A. Creditt of Philadelphia, ask if his church is not a National Baptist Convention church—we are the people. GREAT DIVINES TO BE THERE Now brethren, members of the Virginia Baptist State Convention, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses and fellow comrades, let us awake and look forward to the meeting of the Virginia Baptist State Convention at Suffolk in May, where we will meet such men as Drs. G. L. P. Tallferro, E. W. Moore, Alexander Gordon, R. W. Goff, W. A. Creditt, W. H. Phillips, J. C. Jackson and others from Philadelphia. Drs. W. Bishop Johnson, J. Anderson Taylor, Walter H. Brooks, Milton J. Waldron, A. Wilbanks, M. W. D. Norman, A. J. Tyler and others of Washington, D. C. and may we not look for the noblest Roman of them all the grand old sage and hero of Baltimore, Dr. Harvey Johnson from New York, Drs. Holland Powell, J. C. Brown, Granville Hunt and others. And then what an army will there be from our own state when President Bowling rises Wed- RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1910. nesday morning, May 11, 1910, and announces "the Convention will please come to order." Get ready brethren. Commence now raising your moneys for Home Mission, Foreign Mission and Virginia Seminary. Richmond will be there. Fifth Street Baptist, New Baptist, Mt. Vernon, Second Baptist, Manchester, Zion Baptist, Manchester. Yes, we are coming with our colors flying. Yours for the work. W. F. GRAHAM. CAN'T USE GRAVE EXCEPT FOR ONE Barton Heights Gets Favorable Report on Bill to Stop Cemetery Congestion. Richmond, Va., Feb. 22.—Not often is the length or a funeral procession the subject of dispute before the General Assembly, but such was the case yesterday afternoon when a few old colored people who own lots in the colored cemeteries in Barton Heights, known as Ham's, Cedarwood, Union, Methodist, Sycamore, Ebenezer and Mechanics, appeared before the Senate Committee on General Laws and humbly begged a few feet of earth there for their "God's acre," when they served their appointed time. It came out in the course of discussion that the people in Barton Heights object to the mile-long processes of the colored brethren and sisters who turn out for "the last sad rites." No longer will the dismal dirge alarm the citizens of Barton Heights, nor the processes of the sisters in their white kerchefs add picturesque to the funeral scene. For, obedient to that law of progress which decrees that small bodies shall do that which used to require large ones, the colored folks will hereafter appoint a "committee" to take the place of the old-time procession. So much in acquiescence to the popular demand in Barton Heights. TOO MANY GRAVES. Louis O. Wendenburg appeared to protest against allowing burials in these old cemeteries unless the interments could be made where none had been made before. The oldest of these cemeteries, he pointed out, dated back to 1810, and he claimed that in the space where 17,000 only ought to have been buried, some 54,000 are at rest. In digging graves, old ones were opened up, and sanitation is the basis of the plea of Barton Heights against allowing any more burials in these cemeteries. The colored advocate, Gilles Jackson, presented the case of the lot owners. In the old days the cemeteries had been far out in the country, but the growth of the city sent white people out to Barton Heights. Many of the lot owners were very aged, and had owned lots for many years, and he claimed that such lots ought not to be confiscated. CAN'T GET WRITTEN PROOF. The objection to the present law is, he said, that written proof is required to show that where a grave is proposed to be dug no one else has been buried. "The nigger has got no records," said Jackson. "The white man never started to teach him to write till just a little while back. Don't you worry about a nigger digging up the dead people—you know as well as I do that the colored man is going to be done left when they dig up a dead man's head." City Attorney Gardner, of Barton Heights, said that the colored burial problem has been a standing municipal question. He asked that the law remain as it is, on the ground of sanitation, and because the length of the funeral processions disturbed the people in his town. Several old colored men spoke briefly, assuring the committee of their good faith, and one gray-haired woman said that for thirty years she had owned a lot in one or the graveyards, and for all that time had cherished the hope that she could some day lie there among the relatives and friends of "old times." It was decided by the committee that the bill should have a favorable report. Hereafter, if the bill becomes law, funerals will be permitted in places not used before.—Times-Dispatch. House Completely Destroyed. Warm Springs, Va. Feb. 14.—On Saturday the 12th inst., between 7:30 and 8 P. m. amid a heavy snowstorm, and with snow covering the ground to the depth of several inches the residence of Mr. J. W. Jones with whom Miss Martha B. Bannister, of 749 N. Ninth Street, Richmond, ma., boarded, was burned to the ground. The loss was a heavy one. Miss Bannister losing everything but what she wore at the time. She also loss about fifty dollars in money. She suffered much from the excitement. Art Training For Children. Lincoln Institute Jefferson City Mo. Feb. 21, 1910. So few parents take any interest in teaching or having their children taught art. Is it because they have not been taught in this science themselves, and think it is of no use to the little ones? If so, let me dissolve their minds or such a thought and tell them it is one of the most important subjects of modern educational thought. The Greeks of old were the cleverest people or their day and all their children were taught to draw. It is true these gifts are not always inherited and it is not always the inherited talent that succeeds. Faculties developed by hard work directed to a good purpose often bring success to their owner, than does the inherited talents. Drawing trains the young mind to observation as no other study can do. It provides an exercise for mind and memory and the teacher soon realizes that it gives back to the child the time it took to study it. It does this by making their memory more retentive; their observation more acute. Parents make a great mistake by not starting their children while young. Youth is the time to give them a start, and to show them that you are anxious to assist them in making their lives profitable. So many mothers say, "I would like my daughters to learn drawing and painting, but with their studies they have not the time. Little do mothers think what a recreation they would be giving to the minds of their children. Parents do not realize that the proper study of drawing is a rest to the ordinary hild. It relies on them of the pressure breasted from their youthful minds by hard study. It is the most interesting form of mental play. It relieves any tendency to brain strain. Many artists who make money in the profession or illustrating, took up drawing when they were anywhere from twelve to eighteen years of age. Many of the best illustrators of the United States, are women, making good salaries. Let the parents take more interest along this line or art, and to see to it that their children are taught while young. Respectfully yours, MRS. F. E. H. WASSOM.

BULLDOGS LYNCHED BY MAN WHO SURC THEY BIT Blacksmith Caught Two as They Fought His Fice and Quickly Cut Their Throats, Arrested Later for Cruelty. Richmond, Va., February 22 — To save his little cur dog from sudden and violent death in an unequal combat with two bulldogs belonging to Willie Thornton, or Charity Street near St. Paul, Daniel E. Worthy, owner of the fice, picked up the bulldogs and cut the throat of each, killing them almost instantly. When they set upon the cur the owners tried to separate them, but the battle was going so fast that this feat was impossible. "Get your dawg off n' mine," each shouted to the other, but the dogs, thinking it was the sound for the charge, went at it all the harder. The cur was held fore and aft. With a yell of anger, Worthy drew a knife or razor, no one ever knew which, and grabbing at the nearest bull, slashed his throat from ear to ear. The dying animal fell at his feet with a groan, and Worthy picked up the other, almost severing his head from his body. Thornton's wife, seeing her pets dying at her door, became hysterical, and Thornton called a carriage. "To Dr. J. P. McDonough's," he said, "and drive fast. The dawns is like chillun to me." The driver whipped up his horses, and everybody let them pass. An officer halted them, but they were around the corner in a second. Dr. McDonough's office is on South Jefferson Street, nearly a mile away, but it didn't take Thornton long to make the trip. When he got back his wife had placed each dog on one of his coats, and was weeping over them as Rachel wept over her children after Heroil's messenger of death had gone his fatal rounds through the city. "No use," said Dr. McDonough. "Their souls are already in flight to the bulldog's happy hunting ground." As he finished rendering his verdict, they gasped their last, and the woman was taken, half fainting, into the house. Worthy stood by and Thornton called an officer. Bicycle Policeman Krengel responded, and he called Magistrate J. A. Purdie. On Thornton's oath, the magistrate issued a warrant for Worthy's arrest, charging him with cruelty to animals. He was arrested and bailed on the spot, and will appear in Police Court this morning. He is a husky man, of unusual size and his powerful muscles were wrought at the flaming gorge. He is a blacksmith by trade. Both men represent the better class of negroes, and there was much excitement in the neighborhood over the sudden and unusual form of justice meted out to the bigger canines. The cur licked his wounds, tucked his tail between his legs, and followed his master home. He gazed up with grateful eye, and licked the hand that saved him when he arrived home, and then crawled under the bed to sleep it off—TimesDispatch JUDGE SETS ASIDE VERDICT OF JURY Charles White, Convicted of Handling Cocaine, Gets a New Trial. Charles White, the colored sporting man recently convicted in the Hustings Court of having cocaine in his possession, has been awarded a new trial by Judge Witt. The jury that tried White fixed his punishment at four years in the penitentiary. His counsel, Gilbert K. Pollock, moved to set aside the verdict on the ground that it was contrary to the law and evidence in the case. Judge Witt heard argument Saturday on the motion and decided to set aside the jury's verdict. It was shown that while cocaine was found on the premises occupied by White no evidence was produced to show that the man had any knowledge of the drug being there.

HENRY CRUTCHFIELD, Editor, Office: 1215 E. Broad St., Richmond, Va. The Fifth Street Baptist Church enjoyed another grand time last Sunday. The purposes of God are ripening more and more and unfolding every hour. Wisdom is permeating the hearts, and knowledge is pleasant to the souls of its members. A broader conception of religion marks a new epoch in its history, and the church feels that God is God-likely pouring upon blessing upon it. Persons are joining, others applying for membership and the attendance at services is gradually increasing more and more each Sunday. Every department or the church enjoys a steadily harmonious growth, spiritually and numerically. Last Sunday morning our Pastor, Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham, preached a wonderful sermon on "Justification." The choir as usual rendered excellent music. The entire service was pleasant and sweet. At 3:30 o'clock members from two churches began to assemble at the Fifth Street Baptist Church, the occasion was special and unique. The members of the Leigh Street M. E. Church assembled at and with the members of the Fifth Street Baptist Church with Rev. C. E. Hodges, B. D. Pastor of Leigh Street M. E. Church, presiding to listen to a special sermon. Subject, "Handwriting on the Wall" by Rev. W. F. Graham, D. D., Pastor of Fifth Street Baptist Church. The scene was extraordinary and inspiring, while the large congregation witnessed some of the revealed purposes of the allwise God, by the words "All ye are brethren." A fine program had been arranged. Music was furnished by three of Richmond's best talented male songsters with Miss Edmonia Anderson, presiding at organ. Col. Thomas M. Crump sang a sweet solo, and charmed the congregation with his sweet musical voice. It is said that he sung as he never did before, 1st chap. 13th chap. Prayer by Rev. Paul Easley, Dr. Q. W. Moine sang one of his choicest solos, his heavy round mellow voice carved the air into melodious waves that broke into harmonious sounds, which delighted, as it were, the very soul. Rev. C. E. Hodges, B. D., in a few choice words, oratorically presented Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham, who said, he had been selected to preach a special sermon. Subject, "Handwriting on the Wall." Rev. Dr. Graham preached an excellent sermon exploring its mines of contents, reasoning from cause to effect and gave the congregation wholesome advice. He made a lasting impression. Prayer was offered by Rev. W. L. Taylor, President, G. F. W. of True Reformers, Mr. Joseph Matthews, sang a fine solo. He held his own, his clear, distinct, smooth voice, striking, so to speak, upon the membrane of the tympanum whispered into the ear sweet music, which stirred the souls. Little Joe took his seat, but had to rise and favor the congregation with another sweet solo, which he did with like effect. At night the pastor preached another grand sermon to the delight of all present. --- The Sunday School continues to grow. Supt. B. B. Peyton is highly elated to see the children showing such interest, and to see so many of the deacons and adult members turning out on Sunday mornings. Arrangements are in contemplation looking to the church anniversary in June. Teacher's meeting will be held each and every Tuesday night for explanation of the lessons on Sunday Everybody is invited to these meetings as well as on Sunday.

The prayer services are getting along nicely. Last Wednesday night there was an exceedingly interest there. Everybody seemed to have enjoyed themselves. Let every one com out and enjoy these meetings. Next Sunday will be communion. Last communion everybody had a nice time. Let everybody come out and make this communion an extra enjoyable one. The church mourns the loss of Deacon Roman, and is sorry that they did not have timely notice, regarding his death. His mourning relatives have our sympathy. Don't forget the lecture Monday night, March 14, 1910 at Fifth Street Baptist Church by Rev. Dr. D. Webster Davis. Subject, "Fitz and Miss Fitz." Let every member re-register his name.

The RED MOUSE A Mystery Romance CHAPTER XV A NO. 10, the cities of Arizona where it is likely that in the most prevalent edition of poetry Shirley Beacock and her mother had given care for the stress enmium. The life in the open and under comparatively uneventful sur- roundings was much in the nature of a travel to the New York society women and the society of it as made a vivid impression on her. It was a busy day after the last described interview between Broderick bok and Burger of that Shirley or rival back it her removed New York once more. At the station she left hesitated as to where she would go as she had not noticed any of her friends of her return. I finally she concluded to go to the Belfry then an art gallery and conservatory here, where her family were known and she asked the head station porter to summon her a cab. At sight of the unpretentious hostel which relied on the distinction of possessing such a resounding name Shirley was conscious of a variety of emotions. For a time in the old days it had been the fashion to entertain the Bellephon, and Murgatrood had been the first to take her there. They showed her to her room a wonderfully old fashioned room without a partec of brass or ginger汁. It then the belfry was of wood, a good old installation to her eye and stunner. Shirley picked up one of the papers lying on the table. She started and laughed genuinely. A house had caught her by the Murray's finger. Paper after paper she now seemed and all mentioned his name, and without any invigoration was complied to their desire. The Father the most conservative even paper in the town was holding up its hands in respect to his wife's worship in a way that art had not allowed Murray's to do. It was insulting afterward. Murray affirmed had been so. His retaliation was just. It was referred to the father as a pitiful pass of affection. He had strengthened Murray's position. Shirley sat out. Oh what a hypocrite! It was after 9 o'clock when she whirled was rounded by a sudden that she was desperate for huges, on the dining room she directed her steps to a small alcove. Slither threw a glance around the room. Palma screened her table making it impossible for her to be seen, although it was perfectly easy for her to see every one in the room. The air of the city was full of life and body. It gave her an appetite. She enjoyed her dinner thoroughly and get her the rights wandered. If only Ruby had been different. Suddenly the palms were parted and a fat man apprehended her table. On seeing it occupied he mumbled his praise and backed out again. But while pushing big legs through the palms he extended a short arm and said That time over there in the The remark was made to a companion whom Shirley could not see. An answer of disappointment however, came in a minus tone. And the fit man his face was strange familiar Shirley was sure. Broderick that was the man the funny, vulgar politician who had been pointed out to her at the Challenger trial Shirley wondered what a man of his stammer was doing in the Rellephon. Somehow he did not seem to belong there. She noted how broad how terrifying broad was his back. But a power in politics the real thing* she murmured. It was not surprising, she told herself that men of refinement hesitated long before going into politics if this were a type of the men they had to compete with. Her thoughts running on in this strain she determined out of curiosity to get a glimpse of Broderick's companion. The man sat facing her. At the first glance Shirley was star tled. No it can't be possible that -- At that instant the stranger looked up and dispelled her doubts. She was face to face with the man who had filled her thoughts for the last two hours "And so that is Billy Murgatroyd" she gasped. He was different from the man she had pictured. And she would have gone on indefinitely criti cing his books, but she was suddenly interrupted by the sound of voices. It was Broderick talking his big voice filling the room. Shirley listened at tentively "Blamed good place to get away from the gang" she was saying, and there was a satisfied look on his face as he glanced about the room. Murgatroyd leaned forward and spoke. Instantly the tone of his voice and his manner told the girl that the relations between the two men were, in a degree confidential Broderick assumed the attitude of a political ad viser Shirley observed that he gesticulated a great deal but in none of his movements was there a suggestion of hostility. "And this is the use that Murgatroy had made of poor Miriam's money!" she cried to herself. "He's bribing the enemy" Shirley bowed her head to shame. Presently she lifted it again. Murgatroy rose and walked up and down behind the table, and, unseen herself, she scratched him closely. If anything he appeared to have lost flesh, she put his figure still retained its strong but fine lines. And Shirley was I came to a knowledge to herself that it had set out one of its grace. But on his face was the dull flush that results from the strain of enthusiasm, of over work. He asked fagged out, and his eyes were restless, though they glowed with stifness of purpose. One thing to wager impressed her more than anything else his demeanor toward her brother. There was within it a particle of that confidential concession that Bristolisk seemed ever ready to offer. On the contrary it suggested a suspicious watchfulness. Margaretud resembled a jonous task master who had set herself over a gold but unclean servant. And Bradley's wife did Bradley's kurture I had been that Shirley might see for her. He didn't face glance his whole being to rest the cunning of the way. He was tenderly person ified at it first he appeared to Shir les and she told him if she studied bih that, and see that he was beheaded, the man opposite him. Murray all was being fooled. There was no doubt about it. Murga travels for a fist of dollars of ex penalties for him. With Mr. Sanders paid for Shirley's delivery little was that I have been in this room for a while. What if we were to shindown some of the furniture and decor of all the rooms in what room? What if we were to shindown some of the furniture and decor of all the rooms in what room? What if we were to shindown some of the furniture and decor of all the rooms in what room? A few days ago dressed in light morning Shirley Household for the second time in her life wended her way to a certain tenement house not for from the last river. Surely I cannot be mistaken thus must be the place she took herself grounding in spirit. In reply to her inquiry for Strat that loner a little girl directed her to the apartment above the door of which was present opened by a woman with full rounded face, and entering a neat well furnished five room that Shirley was soon seated at the win dowd chowing with happy eagerness. The young woman with the full, fresh rounded face it can readily be imagined, was Miriam Challenger. You're been away more than three years. Shirley," sighed Miriam as she bent over a bit of fancy work "It hasn't seemed so long to me" returned Shirley. "though when we first wont wear I thought it would be nothing short of a nightmare - waiting for an old man to die "It must have been assented Miriam "No, it wasn't, because for the first time in my life I really came to know my father I thought I had known him long before but I made a mistake I never knew him until these last three years in Arizona I found out almost too late" "I always liked your father, Shirley, and I think he always liked me" was Miriam's remark "Yes, he did. But did you ever stop to think?" went on Bhrilcy hastily—why, my father never wronged anybody. My father was good my father was honest. Oh, I could accourge myself," she declared sadly, "for the things I used to think about father. I even told Murgatroyd once that, though I loved my father, I could never admire him, respect him. Miriam rose suddenly and kissed her. All this time Bhrilcy had been watching with growing curiosity the fancy work on which Miriam sowed so industriously. At last she vêtured: "Miriam. I'm a regular-old maid. I haven't been one hour in your house and already I'm burning up with curiosity to know just what you're making!" Shirley exclaimed: "Ian't it dainty? Who is it for, Miriam? Miriam looked squarely into the eyes of her friend. The next moment Shirley/had her arms about Miriam and cried joyfully. "You precious thing! I'm so glad! Why didn't you say so before?" I'm just a bit old fashioned, I'm afraid, murmured Miriam. "Now adaaya it's the thing to make such an announcements through a megaphone from the houseplop." Shirley drew a long brothi, saying: "Miriam, I wish I were happily my friend. I will thank you again." THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. "Yes, you are right," assented. Karl- am joyously, from whom had fed the recollection of all but the last few years. Shirley laughed and flushed. "I'll tell you a secret, Miriam." "We seem to be full of secrets today." "Yes," returned Shirley, "only yours is a respectable married woman's secret, inna mustn't be told. Well," she confessed at last, "I've seen Thorne since I came back and"- "No!" Miriam exculated. "Yes!" He proposed to me once more, and"- "You accepted him?" "No, if I had accepted him it would not be a secret" Miriam looked at her blankly "Why did you refuse him?" "That's just what I want to know P. A. B. "My father was paid my father was benevolent" myself I don't know why Somehow I couldn't marry Thorne" "Well for some unexplainable reason I'm glad of that assented Mr Islam Tell me about Margatroyd and myself Kidney suddenly seated myself "I haven't seen him" He is serving his second term as prosecutor you know. It seems he wanted to finish his work there" Started a job for head Who will with all that money? He will threaten want on Mr Islam are the United States senate rule. It's a question of a day or two week Starry's voice grew hard He told me that it cost her half a million dollars to be chosen senator Would it cost the money Not a word of Margatroyd 'whispered Miriam quickly The next moment the door opened and Lawrence cut that door came into the room CHAPTER XVII was strong a ruddy flush upon his face. In fact he looked so good that it was a willing hand that wout out to him in greeting. "Well this is a pleasure, and Shirley auditing. Laurie you're the picture of health. "And you Shirley-why you never looked better. What have you been doing with yourself all these years?" Mriam's happiness at theirpon taneous greeting was good to see. "If I dared I kiss you" Laurie went on naging naturally, but he compromised on his wife, who had been holding the bit of fancy work on which she sewed. Suddenly she glanced down at it. "Ob" she said, conscience strickan, and hurriedly thrust it into a closet. Challenger watched her in surprise, and when she returned he put his arm about her and kissed her once again. Shirley drew up her chair and set, herself back comfortably into it, turned to (Challoner and wont on excitedly, "Now tell me about yourself" "We're saved $100," began Miriam, answering for him and—" Five hundred dollars!" interrupted Shirley entering completely into the spirit of things "How did you over do it?" Miriam turned to Challoner, smiling "Laurie do you remember the day when we had saved our first $10?" "Shall I ever forget it?" returned her husband decretely, and turning to Shirley "The fact is somehow or other I've made good and done it in five years too." But you don't know what it means to me to us." "Tell her about your invention," suggested his young wife with pride. Challoner immediately launched forth. Shirley intending with great interest. But toward the close he said something about concrete and fronds which caused her to interrupt him. "Fraud? What fraud?" "Why, haven't you seen the paparazzi he inquired "The papers, world over almost, have commented on this political expose. I was at work on the hospital job at the time, and it was I who discovered that everybody in the job was attaching cement-boosters, and intermittents, inspectors, politiclam-why. even I was invited into the ring. There was money in it." he continued, "money for me—thousands." He paused. "That what good would that do me when the hospital fell down?" "Think what would have happened," interpelled Miriam. "If it had been fall of patients. It was good they found it out in time. It has to be rebuke." "But I wouldn't stand for the极! Challenger went on in his legitimate pride. "Maybe you know the rest!" He looked up questioningly, "I want to Murraystroyd. He did the rest. I helped him, of course, by testifying and all that sort of thing. I had to make good my accusations. But, pernail Murraystroyd didn't make those chops up and thigh! It crippled the "I'll be there later, and do it if" ""sudd, let's improvise" ""excelated" "Shifter" "and then add quickly, with a blush, ""good for you" "Luriece in business for himself." Miriam presently informed her. "Wee," answered Challenger enthusiastically. "I've got a bit of a reputation for honesty now. People that want an honest job done come to me. You'll begin to think I'm suffering from exaggerated ego," he finished, with a smile. "Well," said Miriam in justification, "any man who saves $500 in so short a time has a right to blow his own horn." "I bellevue in giving praise where it is due, protested her husband. "It was you, my dear, who saved it." "It returned Miriam depreciatingly." "Yes, through privation," said Challenger. Miriam sighed with joy. It was good to have some one appreciate the struggle. "I won't deny," presently she said, with a smile, "that it was rather trying at times, but it was a work of love, and we've succeeded." Blitzspring to her feet. "Lawrence Challoner, I'm going to kiss you. You're the kind of a man I'm looking for!" And impulsively she made good her word. "I'm proud of you," she went on. "You're the real thing; you're a success!" Laurie drew his wife closer to him. "They like a pair of doves," said Shirley to herself; then aloud, starting to the door. Miriam I'm going to up for dinner. I hope we're going to have a dozen courses I'm starved." When the door closed Miriam rose and started for the kitchen. "Miriam, girl!" said Challoner gently what have you been hiding from me for the past few weeks? "Hiding!" He pointed toward the closet. What have you been putting away there every night for the last few weeks? What is in that closet now? Miriam hesitated. She asked them politely. Do you really want to know? Yes! he answered in the same tone Miriam stepped to the closet, fum- bled there among some things and, re- turning thrust something into his hands. There" she said, blushing. Challenger held it up, looked at it a moment and "nally said with just a tinge of suspicion in his voice. "This thy dress, what?" He looked at his wife stupidly and after a time he added: "Why Miriam you never told me. A little child for you and me." Yes Laurie she whispered softly Acting upon impulse he cuddled the garment down into the crook of his arm and held it there. "A child-for me," he mused. After a moment he looked up and exclaimed, "I wonder if it is given to man to appreciate thoroughly the anticipation of motherhood—the hours given to fashioning little garments like this." Yet it seems to me now that I could work forever for" He broke off abruptly quite overcome. Miriam was deeply touched. "Never fear, there will be plenty of responsibility for you later on." Thus Shirley poked her head in through the door and called "Miriam the potatoes are burning!" Miriam left the room hastily, leaving Laurie striking the small garment "A father of a child" he mused "It's good to be a father—a good father. He dropped at the table and buried his face in his arms. But when he raised his head again there were tears in his eyes. "A little child for me—and I shot Hargreaves," he mouthed. Miriam came back into the room. At a glance she realized what was going on in his mind. She placed her hand affectionately on his shoulder and with tenderness said: "Don't you think any more about that, Laurie. You're a new man now." "I haven't thought of it for five years" cried Challenger fiercely. "I haven't dared to think of it! I haven't had time to think of it." He paused a moment then suddenly went on "But now I have got to think about it. I'm going to be a father." He sighed. "Foor Hargraves, I can see him now as he put up his arm." "Don't" Miriam pleaded "Forget it, dear." "I can't forget it!" he returned "It's all before me now." He glared into space as a man might who witnessed before his very eyes some conflict. "I can see it now—just as it happened." He caught her arm roughly and cried in a loud voice: "Miriam. Miriam. Listen, dear, I can see it now—just as it happened! Can you stand it, dear? "What is it? asked his young wife trembling with horror Challenger gripped her arm "I did not kill Richard Hargraves!" he cried in sudden joy "No. I did not kill him" Miriam tried to soothe him "No." evidently under great excitement. "I did not kill him. Five years ago everything was muddied. Life was a muddle then, and on that night at Crandlebaugh's everything was hazy. But now it's an clear as day. I can see it—I do see it!" He lifted his arm, his forefinger crooked significantly. "I shot." "Yes," she said eagerly, "you shot—" "You" shot at largreges, but I did not hit him. It's all come back. I can see it now!" And, pointing toward "the junction of the side wall and the collage, he went on to explain: "The bullet lodged in the panel of the wall. Hargraves put up his arm like this. I meant to kill him, and I shot, but I didn't bit him. I toppled over in the big chair. It started toward the door. I remember that. It's all come back in a flash." "Let," she protested, "you confessed." "Yes," she answered, "I tell you everything was unmade—life was hazy. I knew I shot at him—I knew I shot to kill. Of course I thought that I had done it, but it was not so. I tried to do it, and then—" She caught blim, wily, about the body and cried hysterically: "Little, are you sure?" "I know, I tell you, he answered. Tea, and there's one that knows. If it's Pamunchem." "He stopped and looked at the small dress, which through his excitement he had held in his arm. "I'm going to be a father," he went on, and it's well that I didn't kill Hargraves. But I have got to prove it. The world must know that I didn't kill him. Pemmican will prove it for me." Mrilam shook her head. "You remember his testimony at the trial. Laurie. Besides," she added softly, taking an old newspaper clipping from a small drawer of her desk. "Pemmican is dead." "Dead!" His voice rang out in astonishment. She placed her finger on her lips. "Why, he died in the county fall not long after I was tried!" exclaimed Challouer who was now reading the newspaper clipping "Willing, I, never killed Hargraves." He leaned over and kissed a tiny bit of ruffle. "I'm going to prove it for you and the little one." "Laurie." insisted Miriam, "are you sure?" "I was never surer of anything in my life than this." replied Challoner. "I tell you it has all come back to me like a flash. It was you, little one." he said bending once more over something imaginary in his arm. "that brought it back to me." "I've got to prove it." he repeated over and over again patting her head affectionately "But - Murgatroyd why if you were innocent"-- suddenly cried Miriam "Well?" "He ought to know it." "What do I care about Murgatroyd? What do I care about anybody but you and the little one that is coming-- coming to you and to me" "Laurie' breathed Miriam softly. I'm happy oh so happy! I know- P. W. H. "It is true I can see it—I know." I felt somehow that things would come out right. I don't care whether you ever prove this so long as we know Happy" she repeated as she nestled closer to him. I should think so, with $100 in the bank and a small business, and after awhile". "The most important thing now is that I certain I did not kill Harrages. That makes it easy for the next important thing—for you—my baby my little baby" CHAPTER XVII In the prosecutors office, to which they had access at all hours of the day, were Mixley and McGrath "How's the joint ballot?" called Mixley from across the room McGrath tossed a paper to Mixley In huge letters appeared one word. "Deadlock" Mixley smiled "Murgatroyd's hold in 'em, but that a all he's doin' But what of that? He's, got nothin' to hold on on Why everybody knows that he hasn't any money It's my opinion that the job goes to Thorne" "How can it be helped?" reasoned McGrath "Look at them brewers putting up maybe a quartet of a million to help Thorne out" say, what do you think the notes of the wine assemblymen were quoted at? "I wish I was an assemblyman," sighed Mixley "Twenty five thousand dollars aplece and a rising market growing stronger every minute" answered McGrath. "And them brewers 'll pay it too. One fellow wanted fifty thousand, an 'n' we'll get it see if he don't." "I wish I was an assemblyman," repeated Mixley wisfully. "You'd vote for Murgatroyd?" yelled McGrath. "You know you would. You wouldn't want a cont." "But I didn't an assemblyman," he answered, and in the next breath he added, "There's somebody at that there door." McGrath opened it, and Challoner, Mrs. Challoner and Shirley Bloodgood entered. Shirley stepped forward and said: "We want to see the prosecutor." "He's out," called Mixley. "We'll walk," chironed the visitors. Meanwhile Mixley and McGrath were still holding their desiccation conversation upon the situation of the day. "They said," Misty remarked to the other, "that the chief was politically dead after he had blackjacked the organization. Maybe he was—maybe he is, but he bighis all right." "He certainly cleaned things up," admitted McGrath, feeling of his biceps. "We helped him, oh!" "He didn't do a thing to Gradishaugh," mused Mixley. "Nor to the machine," smiled McGrath. "Well, anyhow," said Mixley. "If he hasn't got the machine and the brewers and the $25,000 assembly then back of him he's got the people, all right. They know he's housed!" "If he only bad half a million." The other snorted. "It's well he hasn't—well he never had. If he had huff a million he wouldn't be running for United States senator. Just like as not he'd be playing golf or running a devil wagon." The three visitors had been listeners to this conversation in silence, but Brilley could contain herself no longer, and, running to her companions, she said snortingly: "Nothing but his honesty to back him! Why, tyningch's too good for him!" And, as though her utterance of the phrase were the prosecutor's cue, Murgatroyd sauntered into the room. He looked at fresh and unconcerned as though he did not know that a bloodless battle was being fought for him down at the state capitol—a close battle at that. Challoner started nervously "Billy, I!" "Want to see me?" he inquired savely. "Yes," filtered Challoner, "alone, please." Murgatroyd took from his drawer a bundle of papers and handed it to Mixley, saying "Look up that excise violation right away. And McGarth," he continued, "there are three witnesses in the juvenile篮 case that we've got to have. Find them by 2 o'clock. You may go." Challoner advanced quickly toward the desk "Prosecutor Murgatroyd," he began, gulping, "it's up to you to clear me of that Hargreaves affair. I'm not the murderer of Hargreaves." Miriam and Nurley had risen Murgatroyd returned calmly. "I know it." "You know it!" gasped the three visitors, and the next moment the women were grouped around the prosecutor's desk "Yes," Murgatroyd mused, "I have known it for almost five years. You must have known it too." You don't say, so was Margrave's answer and presently he added though perhaps it is not so very surprising. Challenger's eyes narrowed. Suddenly he said. Somebody killed Hargraves. Who did it? The prosecutor looked at the man in credulously. Do you mean to tell me that though you know now that you didn't kill Hargraves, that you don't know who did kill him? "I'm here to find out." "Why thunderation?" ejaculated Margutroyd and looking the other squarely in the eyes went on. I knew that everybody didn't know but I thought you knew long ago that it was Pemian of Cradlebaugh who did it. "Pemianme" repeated "tioner as if to himself was the only man who knew, and he's dead." "Yes" assented Murgatroyd, he killed himself in jail. He confessed just before the court of appeals filed its opinion of affirmsm in your case. He had stolen $10,000 from Cradlebaugh's and had been threatened with prosecution for it. He had to replace the money. The opportunity came and he asked it. He knew that you hated Hargraves, knew that there was a motive on your part knew that you shot and missed knew that Hargraves had a lot of money on his person and he set out to get it. It was safe. He got it. and Hargraves, too, shot him dead with another gun after you missed him and paid back the money to Cradlebaugh's. Miriam burst out "And you have known this for years" Yes, he told her quietly his eyes wandering over Miriam's face, "but it's plain to me now that you haven't known it "How should we?" protested Challenger Murgatroyd frowned then he answered. "How? Because I advised your counsel. Thorne, and he was present when the order releasing you was signed. It was his duty not mine, to communicate with you. "Thorne—Thorne knew." cried Miriam. "And he never told us," came finally from Challoner's lips. "I possibly he didn't dare," explained Murgatroyd with an enigmatical smile. Just at that time Thorne and Thorne's crowd held the mobile in the hollow of their hands so perhaps, he added sarcastically, "the news about Pomulcan was suppressed for the public good." "And you" - spoke up Shirley, her eyes flashing, but got no further, for Murgatroyd went on addressing Challoner. "I had no trouble then, of course, in setting you free." Challoner blinked stupidly at the prosecutor, but Miriam's face at once was wreathed in smiles, for she knew that their future happiness was assured—that the name of Challoner would be cleared of its stain. But Shirley was not yet satisfied, and her eyes were blasting as she exclaimed holly. "It was not you who set him free! The law set him free! He was innocent, and—" She paused and drew a deep breath before going on. "You took a million dollars to set him free! Murgatroyd rises suddenly. "This is the second time this charge has been made against me, once at the trial and again here. You understand the nature of this charge!" he shirley looked, looking her full in the eyes. "What proofs have you?" Shirley pointed to Miriam. "Mrs. Challoner is my proof." Murgatroyd turned his gaze now on Miriam. "Whose expression of joy had not changed, and asked: But before Mrs. Challenger could answer Sturley broke in with: "Prosecutor Monkroyd, a moment pleaser." And on the prosecutor's stirring his gaze on her, she continued: "You know I was speaking the truth. Mrs. Challenger this, tried to convince me that this bribery was not a crime, so as much as you had kept faith with her, but she knew well as you do what my opinion is on the subject. I told you in the courtroom what I thought and said myself, another expression. I have not changed. No, you are not honest," she concluded mercilessly. "You've stolied you've a— There came a loud knock upon the door. "Come in!" called Algristroyd. "Borry to interrupt you, Mr. Prosecutor," said Mixor on entering, "but Mr. Thorne is outside." "Counselor Thorne says that he must see you. He won't wait." Murgatroyd ordered Thorne kept out. On Mixley's retreating Shirley once more stepped forward, and her tips were parted to speak when suddenly the door was thrust open violently, and Thorne stained in. Behind him came Mixley, trying to hold him back, but the other jerked himself free, and on reasbling the prosecutor's desk he held out his hand and called out loudly. "Senator Murgatroyd!" "W what?" exclaimed Murgatroyd, rising. "I want to shake hands with you. Then I'm the first to announce it good." Thorne proceeded to tell Murgatroyd that the latter had just been chosen on joint ballot, majority in both houses, for the senatorship, ending with: "Allow me—allow me to congratulate you." His voice rang true, even though he did not mean it, and Murgatroyd shook-his hand, asking. "I thought it would be you. Thorne. You put up a good fight." "We did you mean," protested Thorne. "My crowd did, as usual. But you. Murgatroyd, deserve your honors. It was one man against the field, one man against illimitable backing. Senator." he declared, bowing. "I take off my but to you. You have done what has never been done before, and can be done it without a dollar." You're the first man in the state" he went on frankly. "to be chosen by the people. Illiterally by the people, and without a dollar behind you." Murgatroyd shook his head. "No. And we were learned something by all this." Thorne went on. We began to find out that the people wore his honesty above all things. Oh, you love honesty he continued hastily. I understand that. But you—your honesty is the real thing—and the people know it too." Turing to her friends. Shirley muttered satirically Honest" Now McGrath as usual, had followed ed close on the footsteps of Mixley, and standing in the door, he rolled Three cheers for Senator Murga troop! And Mixley and Thorne born and bred to political meetings, gave them with a white Shirley and the Challengers sat in the corner in deep silence Murgatroyd looked at his men in surprise Where have you been all this time? be queried The man piled out in confusion. A moment later Thorne took up his hat and, holding out his hand, repeated 'Accept my congratulations once more senator.' He turned to go, and then for the urt start time he saw the three people budded together in the corner of the room "Well" he said, deeply exclaimed "I thought we were alone I didn't know" Chaifon stepped out in front of him and blurted out --- "Mr Thorne, I wish to know if it is trus" "Thorne still not seeing who it was, nodded You don't understand," returned Challoner. Is it true—true"—"True?" repeated Thorne. "True that you have known all these years that I was innocent of murder?" And Challoner squared his shoulders and lifted his head while he waited for his reply. "You, of course it's true," answered Thorne, seeing at last whom he faced. "You never told me," derely returned Challoner Thorne apparently was dumfounded. "Never told you? Why, I must have told you," be stummered feebly. "You never"—Challoner's voice suddenly broke. "And I thought all these years, and because I thought"—He paused abruptly. Then Thorne, turning to Murgatroyd, boldly equivocated. "It's preposterous Of course I told him." Murgatroyd smiled grimly and added gently to himself: "You must be mistaken, Mr. Challenger. I certainly told you." And, picking up his unt, once more turned his attention to the prosecutor. "Well, senator, good day." At the door he called back: "You've made a clean and honest fight. You deserve success! Good day!" But no sooner had the words passed his lips than Shirley, almost beside herself, again broke forth: "A cleap, honest fight! Ohf" Murgatroyd resumed his seat, smiling. "Yes," he said, as if wholly unconscious of the girl's irony. "It is hard work to be chosen sebator without half a million or so behind you." Up to this time Shirley had held her indignation within bounds, but at this remark she lost all control over herself. "Why, you—you're a thief!" she cried. "No, no, Shirley," exclaimed Mr Islam. "I won't have you say that. You must leave the room. You and Lance—I insist." Fleece anger burned in Shirley's impulsive heart as she glanced at Murgatroyd. A few minutes later began SATURDAY.....FEB. 26, 1010. she could bring herself to agree to Miriam's demand "Very well," assented Shirley. "but don't keep us waiting long." And reluctantly she left the room with Chailoher. [TO BE CONTINUED.] Afro-American Writer For Influential Southern Paper Well Qualified. Professor I. W.

Colonel John Sneed's Conversations on Domestic Problems Copyright, 1909, by C. S. Yost. VII.—Some Points on Raising Girls COLONEL SNEEDS son had come back to the old home for a visit and had brought with him his wife and little daughter, a busy, prattling youngster of three years, who pulled her grandfather's whiskers and stuck her chubby fingers into his eyes with impunity. "Daughter," said the colonel one evening after the child had been put to bed and he had rearranged his toilet, "what do you contemplate don't with that streak of sunshine?" "Why, I'm going to take the best possible care of her," answered young Mrs. Seed, "and try to make a good woman of her." "You're not figurin' on makin' an actress or an artist or a stenographer out of her, are you?" "No," laughed the daughter-in-law, "I haven't got that far along yet. But why do you ask?" "Well, I didn't know. It seems like every woman's got to have a mission these days—one that's different from THE FINEST THING ON EARTH. the original—and I thought maybe you'd laid out a brilliant career, with plenty of handcaps and bouquets in it. I'm mighty glad to know that make'n a good woman of her all you've got in mind. Understand, I'm not sayin' she couldn't have what they call a career and be a good woman at the same time, but I've got a kind of an old fashioned巾物 that the finest thing on earth is a good wife and a good mother. That's a career that's higher than any man can aspire to, and the good woman who don't get up to that level has missed something in life. "Anyhow, the makin' of a good woman an is a big enough job for any mother to tackle. I've always had a belief that there was more care necessary in railin' girls than in railin' boys. It's a good deal the same difference as there is between a post oak gaplin' and a roseh灌木. One can pretty nearly take care of itself, but it takes a lot of watchin' and a 6-out of trainin' to bring out all the bloomin' beauty of the other. When the Lord makes a woman he plants within her the seeds of some qualities that when they grow up and blossom form the main difference between her character and that of a man. We can't exactly define them, but we know that they're there, and we also know that women are more attractive, more lovely and more lovable in proportion to the development of those qualities within them. Sometimes the seed don't seem to have sprouted at all, and then the woman is pretty much the same as a man. Then, again, they spring up and grow like a moon vine, and every man, no matter how low down mean he is, stops to one side and takes off his hat. "Put all these qualities together, add them up and you've got what we call womanliness. That's a mighty big word, and it takes in nearly all the virtues that we can understand as well as some we can recognize, but can't quite place.

We know what it means even if we don't know why we know it, and we're mighty sure it's worth all the time and trouble it takes to produce it, for it does take time and trouble. It's very seldom that womaniness grows wild. It's got to be devel- oped by culti- ation — what the high browed and-but it's no use tryin' to analyze it. We know what it means even if we don't know why we know it, and we're mighty sure it's worth all the time and trouble it takes to produce it, for it does take time and trouble. It's very seldom that womanliness grows wild. It's got to be developed by cultivation — what the high browed farmers at the state university call intensive cultivation—and the mother who makes good on the job has to know what's what. "Now, my dear, I just a man, and I've got no fight to set myself up as a counselor for mothers, but sometimes it's worth while to know how a man looks at these things, even if he does make a kind of a fool of himself by mixin in. I've got a notion, in the first place, that you can't begin trainin' a girl too soon. There isn't anything new about that idea, but it seems to me that what used to be the rule is gettin' to be the exception, and babies are left to grow up pretty much as they please, on the theory, I reckon, that it's no use to do anything until they get old enough to understand. Well, I've found out, and I guess you have, too, that babies begin to understand the minute they open their eyes, and the time to begin on the job of making a woman is the day she's born. "Ah! the first thing she ought to learn, my dear, is that her mother is The greatest and best woman on earth and that what she says to do must be done because it's right. Now, you can't make her believe that just by tellin' her so. Every baby, particularly every girl baby, has to be shown. You may fool her for a while, but soon or later she's gone to get your true measure, and if it isn't up to the standard there'll be a loss of confidence which is the first step toward failure in domestic affairs as well as in business. So it's up to you to make good, to be yourself what you want your daughter to be. That I admit is a pretty large order, for it's a whole lot easier to tell it or what to do than to do it ourselves, and the hardest place to live up to a standard is the place where it's the most needed—at home. But all the same it's worth doin' P "Another thing that she ought to find out pretty early is that her mother is not her slave. That's an imPRESSION it's mighty easy to fix and mighty hard to get rid of; also it's one that apolls more fine material for the makin' of good women than anything else I know of it's natural for the mother to want to do everything she can for her child, and the child isn't to be blamed for jotin' her do it, but she mighty soon gets in the habit of dependin' on mother, and that means the development of selfishness and the loss of self reliance, either one of which cuts out all hope of makin' a womanly woman of her Nothin' makes my blood boll harder than to see a girl sit in the parlor and hang the piano while her mother bends over the dishpan. And yet nine times out of ton it's the mother's fault. A girl, no matter what her station in life, should learn right at the start that she has somehow to do in the world besides giggle and look pretty. She ought to be taught what to do and how to do and then, if necessary, made to do. But if you begin right and begin early you'll never have to force her, and when you get respect for mother as well as love firmly established in a girl's mind and BANGING THE PLANO. heart you've gone a long way in the make' of a good woman, a womanly woman. The rest is easy "I reckon that's all tonight, my dear." She Found Out. "I thought I'd stop for a minute and inquire the price of tomatoes," she said to the grocer as she set down her basket. "Yes-m—they are 8 cents apiece." "Whist—but isn't that high?" "And how much for a washboard today?" "Thirteen cents—reduced from 15." "What makes that?" "The tariff, ma'am." "Oh, I am. And how much for taters, if you please?" "They are up 80 cents a bushel." "Whist again, but what makes that?" "What they call ad valorem." "Of course. And what's the price of fattions, if not too much trouble?" "They are down, cheaper than ever" "And it's because"— "That's free trade." "Um; I see. Well, Patrick will be thankful to them great men in Washington when I tell him what you say." "You understand it, do you?" "As plain as day, sir. The price of natrons and washboards has come down to give the poor a chance to live, and the price of tomatoes and turtles has gone up to give the rich a squeeze, as should be the case. Thankee, sir, and good day to ye."-Pittsburg Press. A Prairie Land. The country from Jerusalem to the Jordan valley is as dreary and desolate as could be imagined. The hills look like great banks of rock and sand. Not even the Bahara itself looks more forbidding. It is the "country not inhabited," the wilderness in which the scapegoat was driven. We are all glad we went, but none of us could be induced to go again. Zion's Herald Not an Ostrich "Baby was playing with my thimble this morning, and I can't find it anywhere. Do you know what he did with it. Aunt Ella?" "No; I haven't seen it. Marjoria. Look on the floor." "I cannot find it," said Marjoria. "I am sure he swallowed it." "Don't be absurd! How could a baby swallow a thimble?" replied her aunt. "Ella! I say, Ella! Have you seen my pearl nockle pin? Baby had it yesterday, and now I cannot find it. Do you think he could have swallowed it?" "No, he couldn't," answered his sister curtly. "Oh, please, mum, I can't find the egg batter anywhere. Baby had it yesterday, and now it lost!" "Good heavens! Do you people think my baby is an catchch?" cried the insignificant mother. PHOTOS.

It is now draped with the invisible silk gauze and again the same moonlight effect is produced by silver tulle over crepe netting. On another elaboration in frosty coloring of coloring it may be called there are white satin ribbon rosebuds with silver centers on bodice and tulle. The sleeves are composed of cords of silver string with little ribbon roses and like cords depending from the girdle are heavily tasseled with the ropes. On the white non-scalene or卵形 of the debilitate, there appears at times an edge of swan's down or white fur in place of the dark for hand on the heavy moose of the older woman. Countess white and silver effects are to be found as the fronds cut down, protrusions into the oldfellow fabric, and surfaces of silver run along the bottom, which borders the top, and again a satin cress glittering with silver and then velled with white non-scalene to bring again the youthful simplicity to conceal an excess of riches. Although elaborate to a degree these gowns were short and they retained the crushed circle of the proverbial youthful model and a certain simplicity of design marked them as distinctly suited to the young. In almost every instance the short frock of this season has reverted to the fuller skirt, some what gathered across the back and round the hips but smooth across the front breadth. WHITE LACE WAIST. ```markdown ``` This new model is of white lace in crusted with plain tulle bordered with marguerites of embroidery. The yoke is of tucked tulle bordered with pearls, the gulme is of lace. The upper part of the sleeves is of the lace, the lower part of the tucked tulle. The Dainty Baby Pillow White Swiss mull is successful material for the covering of the baby pillow when transparency is an object. Linen, although of a sheer quality, will often conceal the colored cover beneath. One of the best Swiss pillow covers is sewed up each side and left open at each end, where it is scalloped and provided with oysters two inches from the outrome edges for ribbons, which hold the back and front together and the rose-colored silk pillow inside. The ribbons used are narrow and white, and to each corner of the pillow is attached a rosette-like bow of wider ottoman ribbon Velvet In the Hair Women who can wear a flat band around the head and, the majority of them can are substituting this for the heavy coil of hair worn under the hat. The ribbon is for evening and makes the colfure quite brilliant. It carries out the color scheme of the gown. The pastel shades which are commonly considered suitable for the hair, are rarely used. Instead one sees plum purple royal blue, Burgundy red plum black jade green and caphire. Batin and velvet ribbon are used, also tulle. The oriental style of using this ribbon is to finish it above the ears with gemmed catchions. WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR FACE FIGHTER COLORED. FOR ANY IMPORTANT OCCASION? YOUR SKIN GLEAR SMOOTH FINE 1.

The garment is the Russian blouse, which some years ago had such a tremendous volume and which is now seen in lengths which vary from the hip point to some ten or 12 inches above the skirt hem. But whatever long or short the blouse is invariably the top garment and forms part of a dashing street suit or smarter dress of some sort. Made in wide wide sleeve, with fur or brand bands with handsome halt buckles, a short plaited skirt a big for set and a Russian garbanth the Russian blouse suit is be withings for a smart professional or a spin on the tee. Velvet stilettos or corduroy are frequent materials for workers of chilly constitution and the dressmaker who suggests the appropriateness of for hands for these effective textures is good enough to show you how easily they may be removed for milder weather, when bliss bands of satin or taffeta could be substituted. With a handsome suit of this sort rich frog fasteners will be used and sometimes the buttons are very aplon did jowelled affairs with the gems sharply contrasting with the gown color. The belting likewise gives opportunity for superb buckles back and front, and if these adjectives seem to suit only fat pocket books let me tell 1 Russian Blouse or Redingote Suit. you at once that they concern only effect Our illustration shows a Russian blouse dress of brown selveteen with bands of skunk fur. The bodice of the coat is simply fitted with underarm and shoulder soams and the tail is practically a very short and scant skirt. The skirt itself is in a box and side plaited model in the narrow walking length modeled for of course the Russian blouse never tops a trained or trimmed skirt. Any of the wide waist serges, with hercules braids in two widths, would do for this stylish suit if it is intended for practical wear, while for smarter use, velvet or cloth would be adorable, as well as a rich grade of corduroy. For skating velveteen would be appropriate, also a blanket fannel, such as sometimes used in Canada for to buggian freaks. With this the stripe of the material would take the place of the fur at the side fastening of the cloose and on the sleeve. A matching muff and tippet are almost a necessity with this redingote style or at least a muff for these trappings will be important details of dress up to spring. If fur can not be afforded the cloth surge corruptions or a sleeve of the gown may be used for the muff, with bands of some inexpensive skins about the openings.

There are few things more invigorating to tired nerves than a salt sponge, either before going to bed or first thing in the morning. If one is inclined to sleeplessness the latter time is beat as the salt is decidedly stimulating. Sea salt can be bought in boxes and should be kept in a bathroom closet or some place where it is quickly found. As a brine is not made rapidly, it is wiser if the bath is to be taken in the morning to soak a large double handful of the salt in two quarts of boiling water over night. Keep in a covered pitcher. When ready to use add two quartz of fresh water either tapid or cold, as preferred. If one likes to sponge in a tub use more salt, keeping about the same proportions. This brine can be used on the face as well as the body and it does small hurt if it gets in the eyes. The sting is temporary and the good effects are felt in rested eyes, as well as nerves. Such a sponge is strengthening to women who are unable to take cold plunges and find a daily bath in hot water enervating Knights of Pythias, This organization is one of the most powerful in the country and its progress has been phenomenal.

ON VARIOUS TOPICS PERTAINING TO GENERAL MAT: TERS OF INTEREST An Indispensable for the Dressing Case—Hint as to Choice of Carpet —Use Velvetteen for Brushing Silk. A little borax in witch hazel is a good face wash after motorizing, and is also of value in so many ways that every woman should have borax and witch hazel on her dressing case, says an authority on such matters. A little blecarbonate of soda and orris root in the bath makes it much more pleasurable. When choosing a carpet, if you have to study economy, select one with a small pattern, and of rather a light color. The small pattern cuts to greater advantage, for there is loss wastes in matching the design as the breadths are sown together, and when the wool begins to wear the light color will not contrast so painfully against the string foundation as it would if it were many shades darker in tone. By rubbing a fresh lemon thoroughly into a sponge which has become silky and rinsing it several times in lukewarm water it will be as nice again as when it was new. Needlebooks are much better made with leaves of chamols leather or fine linon, instead of the old-fashioned flannel. Flannel is often prepared with sulphur, and this tends to rust the needles. Chamols leather, on the other hand, keeps them beautifully bright. Use a piece of velvetteen for brushing silk. Try it on a black silk potpourri, and see how perfectly it wipes away all traces of dust from frills and ruffles. Any brush, however soft, acts as an irritant to silk, but the velvetteen removes all dust without any injury to the silk of sunshades, etc. Many women find it a great comfort to saw a black or colored cross on the band of every dress skirt, in the exact middle of the front. In this way, you can instantly and unconceally be sure that your skirt is on perfectly straight. This same idea carried out with all the white, cloth or silk underskirts will prove a helpful convenience. Then sew a four-inch strip of tape lengthwise near the top and on the wrong side of all underskirts, it is such a comfort to hang them up in this way rather than by tying the strings or hooking the skirt together. Always keep half a teapotful of rice in easy salt shaker, it keeps the salt from either stinking or caking and tastes a ready flow at all times. A dozen double hooks for under shelves is a great convenience where OF RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. I closet is not made to accommodate a rod for coat hangers. Then, too, the double hooks will hold the skirt hangers while the rods will not. The japanned ones are 15 cents a dozen and the thread of a screw is a part of the hook so any one can put them up without any tools. These double under shelf hooks will double the capacity of any closet. The flexible knife that is such a favorite with so many housewives can be bought in all sizes at any hardware or department store but it is known there as a palette knife. String Beans a la Poulet Two cupfuls boiled string beans, one cupful milk yolks of two eggs two tablespoonful lemon juice one tablespoonful chopped parsley, one ta tablespoonful flour, one tablespoonful butter, half a teaspoonful salt half a teaspoonful pepper Mix the butter and flour smooth in a saucepan, pour in the milk salt over the fire until boiling and add the salt, pepper and beans Continue stirring until steaming hot, then turn in the beaten yolks and the remaining ingredients and serve at once In case the dish can not be used immediately omit the yolks of eggs and lemon juice until the moment of serving Stuffed Tomatoes. Clean six large firm tomatoes and slice a place from stem end large enough to scoop out with a large teaspoon. Soak enough state bread (crumbs)--about three cupfuls--in cold water oozing stock press out dry, add the tomato pulp, a small grated onion and one clove of garlic some parsley, salt and a little red pepper, two hard boiled eggs grated and some grated cheese if desired. Mix these ingredients thoroughly and all tomatoes almost to top, put a small piece of bacon over them last. Put them into a pan and bake 20 minutes in a moderate oven. These are excellent. Mushrooms and Tomatoes. Wash, scrub and peel half a pound of fresh mushrooms. Break in small pieces and saute in butter. Skin six tomatoes, slice the tomatoes and arrange with the sautéed mushrooms in layers in a buttered baking dish or in ramkins. Cover with a tomato sauce well seasoned with onion. When dish is filled cover with buttered bread crumbs and bake until crumbs are browned. Serve in the baking dish with a clean napkin folded neatly around sides of dish. Apples à la Garamat Core and paro in alternate rounds the required number of apples and place in a deep pan. Put a caramel in each and spinkle generously with sugar.

Fill each ring two thirds full when the bubbles form and stiffen into holes, slip the cake turner under and turn ring and all. As the muffin cooks and stiffens slip off the rings and let them finish. Baked in rings on a griddle muffins are very much better than when baked in an oven. If the oven must be used however work in sufficient flour when mixing to make a soft dough and let rise in a warm place out of droughts until very light. Turn the dough out on a well floured pastry board, divide into small pieces and form with the hands into flat round cakes. Cover the muffins on the board and let rise until almost globular, then place them on a hot floured tin and bake them in a quick oven to a light brown. Turn and let the other side brown lightly. Always tear them apart, never use a knife spread genously with soft butter and serve hot—Housekeeper REQUISITES FOR SOUP MAKING Having Stock Too Strong Is a Thing to Be Avoided—Best Method of Preparing Quick Dumping. The secret of making good soup is not in having strong stock. Many persons save the grease from boiled beef, chicken and turkey and keep it in a jar for quick soupmaking. The soup is strong never as good as when it is fresh, and one soon grows tired of the name. Brisket is a good soup meat, and when thoroughly cooked the liquid can be chilled, freed from the hard lard which rises in the top and made into a palatable soup. Home-made dumplings are much richer than the manufactured kind. A quick dumpling is made as follows: Beat one egg to a froth, and half an eggshell of water a pinch of salt, a teaspoonful of baking powder and flour sufficient to make a dough just thick enough to drop from a teaspoon. Or thicken it with flour to a dough, roll very thin and cut into tiny strips. When making soup you will find that it can be made more quickly by chopping the ingredients in a meat cutter. However, such soup must be carefully watched or it will scorch. Never add milk or cream to Buffie until it is ready to serve Devil's Food Melt over a file a cupful of grated chocolate one cupful of brown sugar and one-half cupful of sweet milk; cool and add the yolk of one egg, well beaten, and set aside.

Bake in three layers and ice with the following iceing. Melt over a kettle five centrs worth of marshmallows boll until it threads one cupful of sugar and one-half cupful of water with one-half teaspoonful of white vinegar. Beat the remaining white of egg stiff, pour slowly over it the airup and stir in the marshmallows. Stir in a cool place until cool Beans With Celery: Take one cupful of white or pink beans, wash and put in saucepan, bring to boiling point pour off water, cover again with boiling water and boil one hour, pour off this water, then pour on enough water to half cover, salt, two scant tablespoonfuls best salad oil. The beans should be perfectly tender, unbroken and the juice absorbed. While the beans are cooling, clean and wash a bunch of table celery and cut into small pieces, add to the beans mix well and add sufficiently quantity of vinegar or lemon juice to taste. This is an excellent and economical dish Plain Italian Roast. Take a nice piece of real for roast. If there is a bone in the roast cut around it with a small knife. Between the spaces put a small piece of garlic, salt and allspice to taste. Cut as many times as desired and more salt and spices to taste and tie a leaf of celery on top of the roast a small red pepper may be added. Put the roast in a roast pan with some imported olive oil, or melted bacon if preferred to oil.

As he was carried through the crowd he was cheered for the grit and gameness he had displayed Referee Smith made the following statement "Wolfgang fought Nelson at his own game and beat him fairly and squarely Nelson complained at times of Wolfgang's butting but I paid little heed, as it was simply the case of one battler getting the worst of a game where both were equally guilty BOTH FOUGHT THE SAME "Both men fought the same, but one had youth, the power to come back, vigor, life, and all that goes with it, while the thirteen years of fighting through which Nelson had gone had sapped his strength and left him without the old snap, dash, and stamina." Wolfgang said after the fight. "My fight today was like a training bout. Only once did he bother me, and that was in the twenty second round Nelson hurt me more by butting me than anything else and I felt funny for just a few seconds I cannot say anything as to my future plans but I am ready to give deserving lightweights a chance." When Nelson was able to talk he said. "I am sorry they called the fight off when they did I think I could have stayed the 45 rounds, but I have no complaint to make."
