Richmond Planet

THE RICHMOND PLANET By Lucian B. Watkins. In Shlinear plain we saw all people one, Yea, one in tongue of language, one in faith Of single purpose dwelt they in one place And strove with common interest to the end That Babel might tower shouldst arise Far-reaching to the heaven 'bove the earth. And it was there we saw the human world Made different, and with different tongues became A different country, scattered to the winds And climes of different countries of the globe. Each country gave its welcome to its charge* Of human life, set to its portioned lot. Dark Africa received her own, and here She gave them nests of comfort in her vales. Where, listening to the Nile's of lulabies, They dreamed a simple life of joy and song. They did not dream of Babel tower here To raise them into heav'n without prayer. But lived domestic children of a peace, Rocked in the cradle of a sweet content. (To Be Continued.) Mr. Ball's Opinion—Does Not Like the Word, Negro. Editor of The PLANET: For some months I have been watching line after line written upon the pages of your paper, also your very able editorials, but in all I have read and have been able to understand I have not as yet heard of the "Wise men from the East" that are coming to bring peace to the millions of colored people. The staying away of these wise men makes every hour, day and year, an earth or gloom these sad hours days and years. Until we, the colored people who are left alone to the mercy of the world. NO ONE TO SAVE Among the millions of colored people, Who is he or she that has come to the front to save the race? Look everywhere to day, you can not hear of a single voice that means an appeal to all the nations for the protection of the colored people. And those of the race that owe it to God, themselves and their fellowmen to speak the true conditions. Our good has gone behind that death-dealing monster the name of Negro. Playing for thousands of years in the camps of the slave holders. Even today it is hard for a colored lady to get the same respect as is shown to other ladies from every lan'. And who is to blame for it? THE ONES TO BLAME. Why the answer is, that those who can save us from all kinds of insults are those who love the name or Negro. They and they only are responsible for the insults to which a colored lady must be subjected every hour of her life. The colored men the world over should be ashamed. But these colored men tell you that God has suffered it to be so, and time will change these things. God has nothing to do with these insults. The females of every race should find the highest respect from all men. And it is time that every colored man having a voice in the press or pulpit to remember who is his mother, wife, or sister. The name Negro is an insult to the dead, say nothing of the living, and if education is good for anything, it should be death to the name Negro. I have never heard a meaner insult in all my life. R. H. BALL, Lawrence, Mass. "How Much Should a Man Weigh?" Prof. H. T. Kealing, A. M., of Nashville, Tenn., and editor of The A. M. E. Review, will undertake to answer the above question, in a lecture to be given at Third Street A. M. E. Church, Monday evening, April 18, 1910. The lecturer is said to be one of the most brilliant forceful, eloquent and instructive public speakers on the American platform. It will be Richmond's first opportunity to hear him. The subject is a most attractive one and a crowded house is expected to greet him. This is to be the last event by the church for this conference year, as the pastor, Rev. E. H. Hunter starts the next day for Wytheville, Va., where the conference is to convene. The Junior Choir will sing on this occasion, directed by Madam Fannie Payne Clark and Madam Bernard Glipin will be the soloist. The lecture is given under the patronage of the Dunbar Literary Society, for the benefit of the Steward's Department. The Tuesday Club, a musical organization instituted for the purpose of serving in the same capacity the long felt want and need among the colored music loving people of our city as that of the Wednesday Club, among the white people of the city; in that it affords an opportunity for the race to hear in oratorio and cantata work, the best and highest production of the masters. Music goes a long way toward finishing up ones education, and no race can hope to ever reach the highest point of art and civilization that neglects music, or fails to recognize it as one of the important studies necessary to complete the education of its subjects. The Tuesday Club is doing good among the colored people, as the Wednesday Club, a similar organization, is doing among the white people. These music festivals are usually largely attended by the best element of the city, both white and colored. The management has always striven hard to give their patrons the worth of their money, and all of the festivals given by this note worthy organization have been in every way satisfactory, and it is certainly a step in the right direction by the management in that the city Auditorium has been secured by unanimous vote of the city council; being assured that good order and conduct would prevail. Every music loving citizen should not neglect such an opportunity to hear their own race produce sweet tones of melody and beautiful harmony in oratory and cantata.

BROWN, Windsor P. O., Isle of Wight County, Va. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1910 Colored Lawyer Refuses to Plead Before Prejudiced Court. Something of a sensation was produced during the closing sessions of the army court of inquiry which is investigating the Brownsville raid of August, 1906, by statements made by U. B. Marshall of the Washington bar, who was associated with Brig. Gen. A. R. Daggett, U. S. Army, retired, as counsel for the negro soldiers seeking restoration to the army. Attorney Marshall declined the offer of the court to submit an argument on the general ground that it would serve no purpose and implied broadly that the court had been improperly instructed by the Secretary of War, and that he recorder of the court, Capt. Charles R. Howland, 21st Infantry, had made no effort to produce any evidence favorable to the discharged soldiers. BASIS FOR DECLINATION In declining to argue the case Mr. Marshall gave two specific reasons as follows: "First. Because the procedure adopted by the recorder (Capt. Howland), and acquiesced in by this court, leaves it undetermined in my mind whether this court is a court of inquiry or a court martial; or, in other words, whether the recorder is an impartial investigating officer or a prosecuting officer. Second. Because the instructions of the Secretary of War to this court conflict $s_0$ fundamentally and totally with my legal training as to make it impossible for me to build an argument which would attempt to prove a negative." "For these reasons," said Mr. Marshall, "I can neither argue nor can I appeal to your merciful consideration. For, in all honor, this honorable court is bound by the limitations imposed by the authority from which its instructions proceed." WHAT RECORD OF COURT SHOWS "The record of this court will show that I offered to produce testimony of an affirmative and positive character, giving the names of the participants (persons not in the military service of the government) in and details of an alleged conspiracy to commit this crime. "The record of this court will also show that no effort has been spared to produce before this court evidence no matter how filmy or circumstantial, which might in the slightest degree tend to demonstrate the guilt of the men who formerly defended the flag and the honor of this, our common country." The particular instructions given by Secretary Dickinson to the court at the outset of the investigation, to which Mr. Marshall took especial exception, are as follows: "Such conclusions as may be reached by the court in respect to the eligibility for re-enlistment of the former enlisted men of the 25th Infantry, at Brownsville, who were separated from the military service in the operation of discharges without honor, should be affirmative and positive in character and based upon such preponderance of testimony as will support its specific finding." NO INFANTRYMAN VINDICATED The court listened to the lawyer's remarks without comment, and are ranged to sit again next Monday to hear the closing address of Capt. Howland, which will include a summary of the evidence submitted to the court together with his conclusions thereon. It is understood that he will claim that the evidence showed conclusively that the "shooting up" of Brownsville was done by the soldiers of the 25th Infantry, and that not a single one of the number examined had proved affirmatively that he had not participated in the raid or that he had not some knowledge of it. The Mechanics' Savings Bank There has been much interest shown at the new Mechanics' Savings Bank building, at the corner or Third and Clay Streets, this week. Work on the hauling of the new vault to the building was begun last Monday and Mr. N. Anderson, the vault constructor of the York Safe and Lock Company, of York, Pa., is here doing the work. The vault door and vestibule weigh nearly twelve tons and it took one whole flat car to bring that here. The other material occupied a freight car loaded to its full capacity. The combined weight was over twenty tons, or forty thousand pounds. The door is in position and it will take about three weeks to install this latest device for the safety of money. The round door is now in position and the door alone weighs about nine tons. It has attracted the attention of both white and colored people, and curious crowds are always standing around looking. The inside of the banking room is now being frescoed. The steel ceiling is greatly aired. Death or Colored Girl Is Topic of Hour in Hampton. Hampton, Va., April 11.—The coroner's jury has just rendered the following verdict: The said Rebecca Chandler came to her death by reason of acute lobar pneumonia at Dixie Hospital on April 9, 1910, following an alleged criminal assault committed March 31, 1910, by E. A. Vandyke. Hampton Bureau, Times-Herald, April 11.—Coroner George K. Vanderslice, is today investigating the facts surrounding the death of Rebecca Taylor Chandler, the nine-year-old colored girl, whose death at Dixie Hospital at a late hour Saturday evening is the sensation of the hour. E. A. Vandyke, the white man who is held in the Hampton jail charged with the horrible crime of assaulting the child, has asserted his innocence of the crime and employed counsel to defend him. The coroner's jury which is investigating the case is composed of J. V. Jones, L. N. Mears, R. H. Richardson, Thomas M. Keaton, J. D. Hicks, Jr., and H. B. Johnson. It is in the province of the jury to ascertain the cause of the death of the child and place the responsibility therefor. Following the child's death on Saturday evening Sheriff Curtis notified the coroner, who summoned the above jury, which made some preliminary investigations yesterday and adjourned until today. Today the jury has been making a pains-taking investigation into the cause of death of the child and will probably conclude its investigation by tonight. The child has been critically ill ever since a day or two following the alleged assault. She was said by the attending physicians to have been terribly injured. Pneumonia, however set in and was the immediate cause of the death. It is probable that Vandyke will be held responsible for causing the death of the child.—Newport News Times-Herald. ALLEGED VICTIM OF VANDYKE DEAD Hampton Negro Girl, Said to be Criminally Assaulted, Dies in Hospital. Rebecca Taylor Chandler, nine years old, the alleged victim or E. A. Vandyke, the white man row in the Hampton jail charged with criminal assault, died in the Dixie hospital yesterday afternoon. According to the physicians the child's death was due to pneumonia, brought on by exposure on the occasion that Vandyke is alleged to have mistreated her. Following the child's death, Sheriff R. K. Curtis, informed Dr. George K. Vandershe, the coroner, and the latter decided that an investigation of the facts in connection with the crime charged against Vandyke was necessary. The sheriff then summoned a jury consisting of J. Vaughan Jones, L. N. Mears, R. H. Kichardson, Thomas W. Keaton, J. D. Hicks, Jr., and H. B. Johnson. The jury went to the hospital and after viewing the remains of the dead child, adjourned over until this afternoon at 4 o'clock, when the investigation will take place in the office of Sheriff R. K. Curtis. ILL EVER SINCE Dr. Caesar Bassett, who attended the child, and Drs. W. E. Atkins and Harry D. Howe, who were called in consultation, will be witnesses before the coroner's jury, while the child's mother and a small colored boy will also give testimony. The child was taken sick soon after returning to her home on the day that the alleged crime is said to have been committed on Thursday of last week and her condition continued to grow more serious. Friday pneumonia developed and the child was then removed to the Dixie hospital. While none of the physicians will discuss the case, it is understood that he child was horribly bruised and internally injured. MEANS MURDER CHARGE Vandyke, who is confined in the jail, stoutly denies his guilt and declares that he will be able to prove his innocence when the preliminary hearing is taken up. He retained Fay S. Collier as his attorney. In the event that the investigation of the circumstances in connection with the death should show that the child died from the effects of the treatment she received, Vandyke will also likely have to answer the additional charge of murder. In either charge against him the severest penalty is death. Vandyke's wife is said to be desperately ill. She and her children are living in LaSalle avenue. A PECULIAR CASE MraBonaparte to Make a Great Legal Argument. Washington, D. C., April 5. — Protesting against what he terms an attempt in some Southern State again to reduce the negro to captivity, Charles J. Bonaparte, formerly Attorney-General of the United States, today filed a brief in the Supreme Court of the United States in behalf of "Pink" Franklin, a South Carolina negro under stentence to be hanged on a charge of murder. The negro's appeal to the Supreme Court will be argued orally in about two weeks. It promises to bring to the fore the question of the status of "agricultural contracts," to which objection has been raised. The negro was under an "agricultural contract" to work for J. D. Thomas, in Orangeburg county, S. C., in 1907. He quit before the contract obligation was completed. A statute had been passed in South Carolina making it a misdemeanor for a laborer to break such a contract if he had become indebted to his employer. On the ground that Franklin had violated the statute of the State, a warrant was sworn out for his arrest. The constable, H. E. Valentine, in attempting to arrest the negro, went to the latter's house, entered and was killed. Franklin was convicted of the murder. Mr. Bonaparte's brief attempts to show that the negro had a right to resist arrest and protect himself, his family and his domicile, because the statute on which the warrant was based has been held $t_0$ be obnoxious to the State Constitution, and that any attempt to enforce its provisions by arrest of a person in the situation of Franklin constituted a crime against the United States under the laws forbidding neonage. Capt. A. C. Brown Gone. The Second Baptist Church was packed from "pit to dome" last Sunday morning at 11:30 o'clock, the occasion being the funeral of A. C. Brown, a well-known and popular letter-carrier, who died after a brief illness The choir sang admirably well and Rev. Z. D. Lewis, D. D. delivered one of his best sermons, deeply affecting those who had come to hear him. The men in the mall service sat in a body, while Mr. W. P. Burrell had charge of the boy cadets that Mr. Brown once commanded. The deceased was a faithful officer and member of the Second Baptist Church. Funeral Director W. Isaac Johnson, officiated. The floral designs were numerous and costly. One of the wreaths seemed to be about four feet in diameter. Grand Turn-out at Centralia, Va Centralia, Va., April 5.—The Knights of Pythias and Courts of Calanthe of Centralia, Va., accompanied by Chester Lodge, observed their anniversary in Centralia Baptist Church March 27, 1910.

Leigh St., Richmond, Va The well-known proverb, "In Union there is strength," is a lesson which should be daily taught and practiced. There can be no true success where this element of character is wanting. Whatever may be one ideas and purposes, success will not cheer, unless this element together with others, is moulded and blended in a focus. No church or people can succeed with an unfading success where they are not taught and practiced. Be it ever remembered that Union is a Divine precept and attribute. Let him who would succeed think and consider that to obey is better than sacrifice. In the light of such teaching hath the members in general of the Fifth Street Baptist Church united to further the purposes of God, cheered by the perfect law and sure testimony of the Prince of Peace. They are buoyantly working to succeed in every loyal effort put forth for advancement and encouragement along all true lines. It is not how much one knows; but the good that one does, that sounds his life faithful and true. At its last meeting the members of the Fifth Street Baptist Church, added another plank to its plans, looking to the celebration of its Thirtieth anniversary. A number of committees were appointed whose names will be given hereafter. A hearty spirit characterized the meeting in onward and forward march seems to be the watchword of all. Last Sunday the church enjoyed some of the blessings of the faithful. At 9:30 Supt. Prof. B. H. Peyton opened the Sunday School. The teachers and officers were in their respective positions. A fair attendance of pupils were present with eager desire for the fruit gathered at this service. All were pleased to meet Mrs. Mamie Black, wife of Deacon Edward Black, of Savannah, Ga. The entire service was good. At 11:30 o'clock church services began. Owing to the absence of Miss Edmonia Anderson, who is sick, Mr. R. H. Fauntleroy presided at the organ. The choir rendered sweet music as usual. Everybody likes to hear the choir sing. Our Pastor, Rev. W. F. Graham preached an extraordinary fine sermon. Feeding his congregation with the needed food plying to a degree suited to their situation. He knows his people and their needs. No one can get closer to them than he can. God called and ordained him for the Fifth Street Baptist Church. There is no doubt in our minds about that. He suits the Fifth Street Baptist Church better than any other preacher, and the Fifth Street Baptist Church suits him better than any other people. Equality is equity, and equity is a principle of divinity. At 3:30 o'clock the National Baptist Sunday School Union convened with Pres. Prof. B. H. Peyton, presiding. The entire exercises were will rendered. The program will be published in our next issue. At night the day's services were closed by a good sermon from the Pastor. The B. Y. P. U. will meet Friday night. Come out at 8 o'clock. Pres. John W. Howard wants to meet every member. The prayer services are getting along nicely. Come out every Wednesday night at 8:30 o'clock and enjoy yourselves. It is announced that the marriage of Miss Jeannette H. Mitchell to Mr. W. H.

Rosa Hickon of 119 E. 15th St., Manchester, Va., who departed this life Monday night, April 4, 1910 at 11:20 o'clock, marked the passing away of one of the oldest and most respected residents in the Southside city. She was a member of the First Baptist Church and had been a faithful and consistent Christian ever since her conversion. Many were the words of encomium spoken of her as were shown by the number of resolutions of condolence and papers read by Prof. James H. Blackwell in his usual calm and pathetic manner. The funeral took place from the above named church Thursday afternoon, April 7th at 2:30 o'clock. Rev Dr. A. Binga, preached a very sympathetic sermon, picturing her true Christian life as she had lived it ever since he had known her—for more than thirty years.

She leaves a devoted husband, 2 brothers, sister, 2 daughters and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. "Peace to her ashes!" "Her loving relatives stood around, Loath to let her go. She shouted with an expiring breath And left them here below." Her Cousin, JNO. R. COGBILL The Golden Wedding Postponed. . On account of the death of their niece, Mrs. M. B. Hickmon, the Golden Wedding Celebration of Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Cogbill, Sr. was postponed to May 5th, 1910.

He was knocked unconscious. In Memoriam James West died at 910 12 North Third Street, April 18, 1909. "May he rest in peace." Oh, father, thy gentle voice is hushed. Twy warm true heart is still. And on thy pale and peaceful face is resting death's cold chill. Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast We've kissed thy marbled brow, And in our aching hearts we know We have no father now. There was an angel band in heaven That was not quite complete, So God book our darling father To fill the vacant seat. Darling father, you have left us You have left us for ever more; But we hope to meet our loved one On that bright and happy shore. MRS. CLARA LIGHTFOOT, MRS. LUCY EPPS. Here We Are! Prof. D. W.

THROUGH THE WALL By CLEVELAND MOFFEET Copyright, 1909, by D. Appleton & Co. CHAPTER XII HEN brought to the Annsby by the pollc authorities and shown the two rooms of the tragedy kittridge was perfectly calm and denied any knowledge of the affair. He had never seen these holes through the wall. He had never been in the alleyway. He was also nately innocent. Mattre Pleidnaux, his lawyer, nodded in approval. At the morgue, however I lived allowed a certain emotion when a door was opened suddenly and he was pushed into a room where he saw Martinez sitting on a chair and laying at him Martinez with his shattered eye replaced by a glass coil and his dead face painted to a horrible sumbance of life. This is one of the theatre tricks of modern procedure, and the Amerian was not prepared for it "My God be muttered" "He look alive!" Nothing was accomplished however by the questioning here Nothing was exported from the prison While his heroes were still tinging with the greediness of all the Lloyds were brought to Judge Haleville's village on the banks of Justice He was told to sit down on a chair beable Mae Haleilleut A police secretary sat at his desk. After a guard alerted of before the door was a saber swung in his belt The examination began "Kitterreige began the judge have dental all knowledge of crime Look at this pistol and tell if you have ever seen it before DARREN "MY GOD!" HE MUTTED. "THE LOOKS ALIVE" offered the pistol to Lloyd a manacled hands Maitre Plioindeaux took it, with a frown of surprise "Excuse me, my honor" he bowed "I would like to speak to my client the fore he answers that question" But Kittredge waved him aside "What's the use?" he said "That is my pistol" "Ah!" exclaimed Hauteville. It is also the pistol that killed Martinez. "Now," continued the judge, "you say you have never been in the alley way that we showed you at the Annoonia. Look at those boots. Do you recognize them?" In opposition to the advice of his counsel Kittredge now admitted the ownership of the boots that had made the accusing footprints, but he dented to Hauterville that he had ever quarreled with Martinez. At this Hauterville produced the letter Kittredge had written Mrs. Wiltmott regarding Martinez. "There was a quarrel, and you did threaten him?" "I advise my client not to answer that question," interposed the lawyer, and the American was silent. "As you please," said Hauterville, and he went on grimly "Kittredge, you have so far refused to speak of the lady to whom you wrote this letter. She was your mistress. Do you deny that?" "Yes," cried the American. "Ah!" shrugged the judge, and, turning to his secretary, "Ask the lady to come in." Then in a moment of sickening min Copyright, 1900, by D. Appleton & Co. I don't suppose the lady" said Kittredge. "I think sent after she enquired with her. And the man committed a single piousness. We have the man pected the late Mr. L. F. Littler to the old friend from her the story of her life with his troglodyte girl. This was in New York about a year ago. Mr. W. Wither, not a good friend with the trip and being unhappy was a friend of her friends written in the country who had seen a good friend of Mr. Knappidge she had met in the young friend for her wife consolated in New York and had grown fond of her. Let to the realized it he was sir only infatuated and the end of it was when she returned to Paris and I was fond of another stranger in the city of Paris processing it the ideal life up a hill and getting to trouble with it. Yeah. He gave me a kick in the I hope he'd educate me at the fany's I love flushed under the judges searching book I wouldn't have accepted but that I should just as I was saying for the I sent it to the teacher Ah! Have a look at the book Matterdge and find that on the same site as that arrived you. No, she should be. I know the passport and it was of among them. "He was not arriving the first cabin passengers. You must arrive by boat in the middle of what I had been it." No, he had arrived Hortonville with a girl, a little boy, but got in the second cabin he went to the storage. In the storage, she murmured against "And during the five or six months here in Paris while he was dancing at tendance on you he was practically without resources." "I know better, she insisted. He took me out all the time and spent money freely. The judge shook his head. He spent on you what he got by pawning his jewelry by gambling and some times by not eating. We have the facts." "Mon then she shuddered. And I never knew it. I never suspected it." "This is to make quite clear that he loved you as very few women have been loved. Now I want to know why you quarrelled with him six months ago." "I don't know. Really I don't know." she insisted with a weary gesture. "Then I must do what I can to make you know he replied impatiently and, reaching forward he pressed the electric bell." "Bring back the prisoner he or ordered as the guard appeared, and a moment later Kittredge was again in his place. "Now," began Hauteville, addressing both Lloyd and Mrs. Wiltmott. "I come to an important point. I have here a packet of letters written by you. Kittredge, to this indy. You have already identified the handwriting as your own, and you, madam, will not deny that these letters were addressed to you. You admit that, do you not? "Yes," answered Pussy weakly. The judge turned over the letters and selected one, from which he read an admiring passage. He took out his watch and laid it on the desk before him. "Madam, I will give you five minutes. Unless you admit within that time what is perfectly evident—namely, that you were fond of this man—I shall continue the reading of these letters before your husband." "You're taking a cowardly advantage of a woman" she blurt out. "No," answered Hauteville sternly. "I am investigating a cowardly murder." He glanced at his watch. "Four minutes!" Then to Kiltridge, "And unless you admit this thing I shall summon the girl from Notre Dame and let her say what she thinks of this correspondence." Lloyd staggered under the blow. "Two minutes!" said Hauteville coldly. Then he turned to Mrs. Wilimott. "Your husband is now at his club. One of our men is there also, awaiting my orders. He will get them by telephone and will bring your husband here in a awit automobile. You have one minute left." Now his dinger finger advanced toward the white button. Then she yielded. "Stop!" cams her low cry. "I did love him." "That is better," said the judge. And the acclaiming of the greeter's poe recorded unalterably Mrs. Wilimott's hawaii. "I don't suppose you will contradict the lady" said Huntville turning to Kittredge. "I take your silence as consent and offer all the lady's confession is sufficient. You were in love with her. And the evidence shows that you committed a crime based on malicious jeubousy and barred of a rival. We have the motive for the murder and the evidence that you committed the murder. What have you to say for yourself?" "I threatened to punch his head. That is very different from killing him." And the platoon. "And the footprints?" "I don't know I can't explain it, but I know I am unconcerned. You say I had a motive for this crime. You're mistaken. I had no motive." "Didn't you follow her to Europe in the stoerage because of your infatuation? Didn't you bear sufferings and privations to be near her? Shall I go over the details of what you did, as I have them here, in order to refresh your memory" "No said Kurtidge honestly, and his eye was beginning to flame. My memory needs no refreshing. I am fighting for my life and now that she has admitted this thing, he eyed the woman so fearfully. I am free to tell the truth all of it. "That is what we want," said Hauteville. "I thought I lost her with a fine, true love, but she showed me it was only a base limitation. I offered her my life are future, and she would have taken them and broken them and scattered them at my face and and laughed at me. I well never mind, but you can not all your pretty French philosophy. I didn't go about Paris looking for forlorn players to kill on a count." "Then, why did you quarrel with Martina?," she danced the judge. "Because he was interfering with a woman whom I did love and would fight for." "For God sake, stop," whispered the lawyer. "Then you consider your love for this other woman. I presume you mean the girl at Notre Dame?" "Yes." "You consider your love for her a fine, pure love in contrast to the other love?" "The other wasn't love." The teacher wasn't here. As Haunderie listened his frowly deepened his eyes grew harder. That's all she once "he" objected, "but if you hated this woman why did you risk prison and worse to get her things? You know what you were her things? You know what you were risking I "opposed." "Yes I knew." "Why did you do it?" Kittigele hesitated "I did it for- for what she had been to me I meant and disagree for her, and well if she could ask such a thing I could grant it. It was like paying a debt and I paid mine." The judge turned to Mrs. Waltmott. "Did you know that he had ceased to love you?" I pussy Waltmott with her fine eye to the floor answered almost in a whisper. "Yes I knew it." "Do you know what he means by saying that you would have spilled his life and all that?" "You do know" ried the American "You know I had given you my life in sacred pledge, and you made a plaything of it. You told me you were unhappy married to a man you loathed, a dull brute. But when I offered you freedom and my love you drew back. When I negged you to leave him and become my wife, with the law's sanction you said no, because I was poor and he was rich. You wanted me but you wanted your luxury too. Love! What did you know about love? You wanted me along with your case and pleasures, and you couldn't have me on those terms. Not!" "On the whole, I think he's guilty," concluded the judge an hour later, speaking to Coquenil. "Quercet" muttered the detective. "He says he had three pairs of boots." Coquenil had drawn two squares of shiny paper from his pocket and was studying them with a magnifying glass. Suddenly his face lighted, and he sprang to his feet. "Great God of heaven!" he cried in excitement, his eyes glued to the magnifying glass, his whole soul concentrated on those two pieces of paper, evidently photographs. "What is it? What have you found?" asked the judge. "The allway footprints are not identical with the soles of Kittredge's boots." "But you said they were. The experts said they were." "We were imitated. They are almost identical, but not quite. In shape and size they are identical. In the number and placing of the nails in the heel they are identical. In the worn places they are identical, but when you compare them under the magnifying glass this photograph of the footprints with this one of the Door when you are dimmestreamed, differentness is the scedrother on separate nail in the heel, unmistakable difference. There are slight differences in size in position, in wear. They are not the same set of nails. It's impossible. Look for yourself. Compare any two and you'll see that they were never in the same pair of boots. "It seems true; it certainly seems true." Hauteville grumbled, "but how do you account for it?" Coquenni smiled. "Kittridge told you he had three pairs of boots. They were maching made and the same size. He says he kept them all going, so they were all worn approximately alike. We have the pair that he wore that night and another pair found in his room, but the third pair is missing. It's the third pair of boots that made those alleyway footprints. I think we shall have found Martinez's murderer when we find the man who stole that third pair of boots, unless Kittridge lied when he told that girl he had never suffered with gout or rheumatism." CHAPTER XIIY "FROM HIGHER OR" A part of a day's work M Paul had taken steps for the finding of the anger dropped into the Selby by Pussy Wiltmott, and betimes on the morning after that day's examination a diver began work along the Concorde bridge under the guidance of a young detective named Bobet, selected for this duty by M Paul himself. Another man was circulating in and out among friends of Martinez, whom he must study one by one until the false friend had been discovered. And another thread was hurrying still another man along the trail of the fascinating Anuta, for Coquill wanted to find out why she had changed her mind that night and what she knew about the key to the alleyway door, somebody gave that key to the assassin! Besides all this, and more important, M Paul had planned a piece of work for Papa Tignol when the old man reported for instructions this same Wednesday morning "Ah. Tignol," he exclaimed, with a buoyant smile. "It's a five day, all the birds are singing, and—we're going to do great things." He rubbed his hands exultantly. "I want you to do a little job at the Hotel des Erangers, where Kittredge lived. You are to take a room on the sixth floor if you can afford and spend your time playing the fute." "Playing the fute!" gasped Tignol. "I don't know how to play the fute!" "All the better." Spend your time learning. There is no one who gets so quickly in touch with his neighbors as a man learning to play the fute." "Ah," grinned the other shrewdly, "you're after information from the sixth floor." "Fh. Ah? A droll idea! I'll learn to play the fute!" "Meet me at 9 tonight at the Three Wise Men and--good luck. I'm off to the Sante." He proposed to make Lloyd walk back and forth several times in a pair of his own boots over soft earth in the prism yard and then show the impressions of these new footprints were different in the pressure marks and probably in the length of stride from those left in the alleyway. This would be further indication, along with the differences already noted in the nails that the alleyway footprints were not made by Kittedge. Not made by Kittredge, reflected the detective but by a man wearing Kittredge's boots, a man wearing the missing third pair the stolen pair. Ah there was a nut to crack! This man must have stolen the boots, as he had doubtless stolen the pistol, to throw suspicion on an innocent person. "It was essential to his purpose that the boots be found in Kittredge's room. He must have intended to return them. Something quite unforeseen must have prevented him from doing so. What had prevented the assailant from returning Kittredge's boots? As soon as Coquennil reached the prison he was shown into the director's private room, and he noticed that M. Miedet received him with suspicion. "What's the trouble?" he asked. "Everything the devil did you mean by sending that girlsto me?" "What did I mean?" repeated Coquennil. "Didn't also tell you what she wanted?" Dedet made no reply, but he searched among some envelopes and produced a square of faded blotting paper. "There" he said. And, with a heavy finger, he pointed to a scrawl of words. "There's what she wrote, and you know d— well you put her up to it." "I have no idea what this means," declared Coquiln. "You lie!" rotortod the tailer You me, returned the jaller. M. Paul sprang to his feet. "Take that back!" he ordered, with a look of menace, and the rough man grumbled an apology. "Just the same," he muttered, "it's mighty queer how she knew it unless you told her." "Knew what?" The jaller eyed Coquenil searchingly. "Nom d'un chien, I guess you're straight after all, but how did she come to write that?" He scratched his dull head in my magnification. "I have no idea." Coquenil took off his glasses and rubbed them carefully. Then without more discussion he left the prison and drove directly to the Palais de justice to see Hauserville, who had previously summoned him. What did this mean? What could it mean? As he approached the lower arm of the river he saw Bobet saunting along the quay. "What are you doing here?" he asked. "I told you to watch that diver." The young detective shrugged his shoulders. "The job's done. He found the auger." "Ah! Where is it?" "I gave it to M. Gibellin because he told me to." "You must be crazy! You take your orders from me." "Do it!" laughed the other. "M. Gibellin says I take orders from him." "Well see about this," muttered M. Ranl. He entered the contrarnd of the Palais de Justice and hurried to the office of Judre Hauteville. On the wrists he met Gigelin. "See here," he said abruptly, "what have you done with that auger?" "Put it in the department of old iron," rasped the other. "We can't waste time on foolish claws." Coquell glared at him. "We can't, oh! I suppose you have decided that?" "Precisely," retorted Gigelin. "And you've been giving orders to young Bobet?" "Go in there and you'll find gut," sneered the fat man, jerking a derisive thumb toward Hauteville's door. M. Paul entered the judge's private room. "My den?" Coquell, exclaimed Hauteville, with corollal hand extended, "I'm glad to see you, but you must prepare for bad news. They have taken you off the force. Your commission is conceded." "For influencing Dedet to break a rule about a prisoner an unsecret" "I thought the girl might get important evidence from her lover" "No doubt, but you ought to have asked me for an order. I am afraid you will have to suffer" "Did you make the complaint?" "No, no." The order came from higher up" "And I am discharged from the force—discharged in disguise. Then I'll tell you what Gibbett will do and that is important. He will let this American go to trial and be found guilty for want of evidence that would save him" "Not if I can help it," replied Hauteville "Thanks," said M Paul "I think I have a word with the chief" The cliff come out, followed by a black bearded judge, who was bidding him obsequious farewell As M Simon moved away briskly his eye fell on the waiting detective, and his genial face clouded "Ah, Coquenil," he said "I'm sorry about this business" "Sorry?" exclaimed M Paul So is Hauteville sorry but if you re sorry why did you let the thing happen?" M. Simon laid a warning finger on his lips. "This is in strictest confidence. The order came through his office, but I don't believe the prefet de police issued it personally. It came from higher up." Coquell kept his appointment that night at the Three Wise Men and found Papa Tignol waiting for him, his face troubled even to the tip of his luminous purple nose. Later, with Tignol and Pougeet, he started on a ride in a taxi cab which mystified his two companions. During the ride, which took them into the country, Coquenil ordered the chauffeur to knock at the door of a desirately located house. No sooner had the operator obeyed when Coquenil climbed into the chauffeurs seat and started the machine ahead at full speed despite the cries and imprecations of the deserted machinist, who plunged desperately after the machine. "That was Gibellin," laughed the great detective to his astounded companions. "He was the chauffeur and was spying on me. He'll have only fifteen miles to walk to reach Paris." During the return to Paris Coquenil said to Soulet in very serious tones: said to Pougeon in very serious tones: "I may have to call on you suddenly. You may get some strange message by some querc messenger Look at this ring Will you know it—a brown stone marked with Greek characters? It's a talisman. You'll listen to any one who brings you this ring, old friend, eh?" Pougeon grasped M Paul's hand and wrung it affectionately They went to the room of Tignol, who announced to Coquenil, "I have found a little shrimp of a photographer who has seen your murderer, all right." "The death!" started M Paul "Where?" Tignol pointed out of a window to a balcony running along the front of the hotel. "There! There are six rooms opening on that balcony" Taking a sheet of paper he made a rough diagram "Now, then, continued Papa Tignell surveying his handwork with pride "I think that is clear B. here, is the balcony just outside, and there are the six rooms with windows opening on it. We are in this room, D. I my friend the little photographer is in the next room, E, peacefully sleeping but he wasn't peaceful when he came home tonight, and heard me playing that tune, although I played in my best manner—eh, eh? He stood it for about ten minutes, and then, eh, eh? It was another case of through the wall, first one boot, bang, then another boot, smash, only there were no holes for the boots to come through. And then it was profanity!" "Well, well!" frretted Coenbill. Won, then woot Treated Coquennel. "Then we got acquainted. I apologized and offered him beer, which he likes. Then he apologized and told me his troubles. He's in love with a pretty dressmaker who lives in this Room C. She is fair, but sickle. He tells me she has made him unhappy by drying with a medical student who lives in this Room G. It sooms the little photographer has been getting more and more jealous lately. He was satisfied that his adylove and the medical student used this balcony as a lover's lane, and he began lying in wait at his window for the medical student to steal past toward the dressmaker's room. For several nights last week he waited and nothing happened. But he's a patient little shrimp, so he waited again at Saturday night, and something did happen." "The night of the murder." That's it. He saw a man pass his window, and he was sure it was the medical student. He stepped out softly, and followed him, as far as the window of Room C. Then he sprang upon the man from behind, intending to chasties him. The man turned on him like a cash, and it wasn't the medical student." "Who was it? Go on!" Who was it? 16. What is anything about the man except that his hand slut like THE "PARBLED MUTTERED THE BUMP, a vise on the shrimp throat and nearly choked the life out of him. You can see the nail marks still on the cheek and neck, but he remembers distinctly that the man carried something in his hand." "My God! The missing pair of boots!" cried Coquenil. "Was it? Tignol nodded "Sure" He was carrying 'em loose in his hand. I mean they were not wrapped up. He was going to leave 'em in Kittridge's room. Here it is. A" He pointed to the diagram. "It's true. It must be true," murmured M Paul "And what then?" "Nothing. I guess the man saw it was only a shrimp he had hold of so he shook him two or three times and dropped him back into his own room, and no he said a word." $ Coquenil's face grew somber. "It was the scream!" he said. "There not about it. The detective told short. Great heavens," he helled. "I can prove it. You say his nail marks show." Tignol shrugged his shoulders. "They show as little scratches." "Little scratches are all I want," said the other snapping his fingers ex- citedly. It is simply a question which also of his throat bears the thumbl mark. We know the murderer is a left handed man and, being sudden- attacked he certainly used the full strength of his left hand in the first desperate chutch. He was facing the man as he took him by the throat, so if he used his left hand the thumb mark must be on the left side of the photographer's throat, whereas if a right handed man had done it the thumb mark would be on the right side." "Yes," said Tignol. "Now bring the man in here." "I'll get him in," said the commis-sary. A few moments later was brought in a thin, sleepy little person wrapped in a red dressing gown. The photographer stood meekly for inspection while Coquenil studied the marks on his face. There, plainly marked on the left side of the throat, was a single imprint, the curving red mark where a thumb nail had closed hard, while on the right were prints of the fingers. "He used his left hand, all right," said Coquenil, "and, sapristi, he had sharp nails." "Parbleu" mumbled the shrimp. Patently the photographer stood still while the commissary and Tignol tried to stretch their fingers over the red marks that scarred his countenance. And neither of them succeeded. They could cover all the marks except that of the little finger, which was quite beyond their reach. Coquenil remembered Alice's words that day as she looked at his plaster cast. A very long little finger—here it was, one that must equal the length of that famous seventeenth century criminal's little finger in his collection. But this man was living! He had brought back Kittredge's boootal. He was left hounded! He had a very long little finger! And Alice knew such man! CHAPTER XIV THE MEMORY OF A DOG. I was a quarter past 4 and still night when Coquennil left the Hotel dos Etrangers. He carried the leather bag taken from the automobile. A hundred yards behind him, in exactly similar dress, came Papa Tignol, peering into the shadows with sharpest watchfulness against human shadows bont on harming M. Paul. Close to Notre Dame the lender paused for his companion. "There's nothing," he said as the latter joined him. "Take the bag and wait for me, but keep out of sight." Coquennil walked across the square to the cathedral. He was pleased and condenst as he rang the night bell at the archbishop's house beside the cathedral, for he had one precious clew—he had the indication of this extraordinarily long little finger, and he did not believe that in all France there were two man with hands like that. And he knew there was one such man, for Alice had seen him. Where had he seen him? And presently, after a sleepy salutation from the archbishop's servant and a brief explanation, M. Paul was shown through a stone passageway that connects the church with the house, and he found himself alone in Notre Dame. As he stood uncertain which way to turn the detective heard a step, and a low growl, and, peering amok, the alchemist of the choir, he sat in a lambert advancing, then a figure holding the lantern, then another crankling, rattle, shrieking through the eastern "Thin that蔓延着 Cucar." "Those, those," he whimmed softly. "Good old Cucar." There, there," murmured Cucarli, fondling the eager head. "I'm all right, Donneton," and, coming forward, he bolt out his hand. Wondering, Donneton led the way to a small room adjoining the treasure chamber. "Hey, Francois!" He shook a sleeping figure on a cot bed. "It's time to make the round." Francois looked skidply at Cucarli, and then, with a yawn and a shrug of indifference, he called to the dog, while Cucarli growled his reluctance. "It's all right, old fellow," encouraged Cucarli. "I'll see you again," whereupon Cucarli trotted away reassured. "Now, then," began M. Fulli, "I want to ask this girl who sells candles. She boards with you. You know she's in love with this American who is in prison?" "I know." "She came to see me the other day, and the result of her visit was—well, it has made a lot of trouble. What I'm going to say you mustn't tell a soul—of all your wife." "You can trust me." "To begin with, who is the man with the long little finger that she told me about?" "Why, that's Groener," answered Bonneton simply "Groener? Oh, her cousin?" "Yes" "I'm interested, because I have a collection of plaster hands at my house, and there one with a long little finger that the candle girl noticed. Is her cousin's little finger really very long?" ```markdown ``` "It's pretty long" said Borneton. "I used to think it had been stretched in some machine. You know he's a wood-carver." "Borneton," continued the detective mysteriously, "I don't know whether it's from here, or in some other way, but that girl knows things that she has no business to know." Then, briefly and impressively, Coqueli told of the extraordinary revelations that Alice had made not only to him but to the director of the Bante prison. She's possessed of dangerous knowledge, and I want to know where she got it. I want to know all about this girl." Bonneton shook his head. "We know very little about her, and the queer thing is she seems to know very little about herself. I believe she is perfectly honest. Anyhow, her cousin is a stupid fellow. He comes on from Brussels every five or six months and spends two night with us—never more, never less. He eats his meals, attends to his commissions for woodcarving, takes Alice out once in the afternoon or evening, gives my wife the money for her board, and that's all. For five years it's been the same. I've noticed she's nervous just before his visits and sort of said after them. My wife says the girl has her worst dreams then." "I have it!" Coupeau exclaimed presently "Tell me about this man Francois." "Francois" answered the sacristan in surprise "Why he helps me with the night work here. He takes two meals with us a day." "Ah. Do you think he would like to make a hundred frances by doing nothing? And you would like to make 600?" "Five hundred frances?" cried Bonneton. "Don't be afraid," laughed the other "When do you expect the wood carver?" "He'll be here next Wednesday." "Next Wednesday," reflected Coquill "He always comes when he says he will?" "Always. He's as regular as clock- work" "And he spends two nights with you?" "Yes." "That will be Wednesday night and Thursday night of next week?" "Yes." "Good! Now I'll show you how you're going to make this money I want Francois to have a little vacation. He looks tired. I want him to go into the country on Tuesday and stay until Friday." "And his work? Who will do his work?" Coquill tapped his breast. "I will take Francois' place. I'll be the best assistant you ever had, and I shall enjoy Mother Bonneton's cook- ing. None of them will know me. You won't know me yourself." "Ah, I see." nodded the old man wisely. "You will have a disguise." "I shall come on Tuesday When do you want me?" "At 6 o'clock," answered the scriastian doubtfully. "But what shall I say if any one asks me about it?" "Bay Francois was sick and you got your old friend Mattthieu to replace him for a few days. I'm Mattthieu." "You wouldn't get me into trouble, M. Paul?" he appealed weakly. "Papa Bonneton," answered Coquell all earnestly, "have I ever shown you anything but friendship? When old Max died and you asked me to lend you Cheasar I did it, didn't I? And you know what Caesar is to me, I love that dog." M, Paul beed out his hand frankly, and the scriastian took it with emotion. "That settles it," he murmured. "I never doubted you." "Thon it's understood. Tuesday, at 6, your friend Matthew will be here to replace Francois. The detective rose to go. He moved toward the door. "Oh, I forget about the dog. Tignor will come for him Tuesday morning with a line from me. I shall want Caesar in the afternoon, but I'll bring him back at 6. "All right," nodded the sacristan. "He'll be ready. An revol until Tuesday." "Things are marching along," amused Coquenil some minutes later to Papa Tignor as they rolled along toward the Eastern tailway station. "Tom know what you have to do. And I know what I have to do. We meet Tuesday at noon near the Autumn station beneath the first arch of the vault." Coquenil had certainly chosen the 1 SATURDAY. APRIL 16, 1910. busiest end of Paris for his meeting with Paris, Témol. : Their rendezvous was at noon, but two hours earlier Tignol took the train at the St. Lasare station. And with him came Caesar—such a changed, unrecognizable Caesar! Poor dog! His beautiful, glossy coat of brown and white had been clipped to ridiculous shortness, and he crouched at the old man's feet in evident humiliation. "If was a shame, old fellow," said Tignol consolingly, "but we had to obey orders, eh? Never mind, it will grow out again." Leaving the train at Autoleu, they walked down the Rue La Fontaine to a tavern near the Rug Mosart, where the old man left Caesar in charge of the proprietor, a friend of his. He now a quarter to 11, and Tignol gent the next hour riding back and forth on the circular railway between Autoleu and various other stations. He did this because Coquenil had charged him to be sure he was not followed. Finally, after an amusing adventure, he met Coquenil, who had disguised himself so cleverly as to doceive even Papa Tignol himself Going to a room in the Rue Poussin, Coquenil changed his disguise very materially, while Tignol gave him the latest news from his mother, who sent word that she was praying for his safety. Tignol later went out and procured the dog Caesar. The men then walked in the Bols toward Passy, and Coquenil recounted important discoveries he had made in Brussels regarding Groener, the woodcarver I saw the place where he boards, this Adolf Groener. In fact, I stopped there, and I talked to the woman who runs it, a sharp eyed young widow with a smooth tongue, and I saw the place where he works. It's a woodcarving shop, all right, and I talked to the men there. Papa Tigolou, he said impressively, "they all call a simple story. His name is Adolf Groener. He does live in Brussels, and the widow who runs the boarding house knows all about this gri Alice. "Then something happened," went on the famous detective "You see, I was waiting in the porch of this boarding house for the widow to bring me my old and I happened to glance at a photograph she had shown me when I first came a picture of Alice and herself taken the same year when Alice was twelve years old. There was no doubt about the girl and it was a good likeness of the widow I now noticed that it had no photographer on it, which is unusual, and it seemed to me there was something queer about the girls hand I went to the window and was studying C "YOU COWARDS YOU HAVE KILLED MY DOO" the picture with my magnifying glass when I heard the woman's step outside, so I slipped it into my pocket. "An as soon as I was outside I jumped into a cab and drove to the principal photographers in Brussels. There were three of them and at each place I showed this picture and asked how much it would cost to copy it. The first two were perfectly businesslike, but the third man gave a little start and looked at me in an odd way. I made up my mind he had seen the picture before, but couldn't get anything out of him. From here I drove straight to police headquarters and had a talk with the chief. An hour later that photographer was ready to tell me the innermost secrets of his soul. He told me he made this picture of Alice and the widow only six weeks ago." . "His works ago" stared the other. "But the widow told you it was taken two years ago. Besides, Alice wasn't in Brazil six weeks ago, was she?" "Of course not. The picture was a fake, made from a genuine one of Alice and a lady, perhaps her mother. This photographer had blotted out the lady and printed in the widow without changing the pane. It's a simple trick in photography." "You saw the genuine picture?" "Of course--that is, I saw a reproduction of it which the photographer made of his own account. He suspected some crooked work, and he didn't like the man who gave him the order." "How mean the woodworker?" "Gosquen" shrugged, his shoulders. "Oh him a woodworker, call him what you like, the dickn' go to the photographer in his woodcarver diaglare. He went as a gentleman in a great hurry and willing to pay any price for the work. "And the smooth young widow lied." "Lied!" snapped the detective savagely. "I should say she did." "Then," cried Tignol excitedly—"then Grouper is not a woodcarver?" "He may be a woodcarver, but he's a great deal more. He—he"—Coquennil healtated, and then, with eyes blazing and nostrils dilating, he burst out: "If I know anything about my business he's the man who gave me that left handed Jolt under the heart. He's the man who choked your shrimp photographer. He's the man who killed Martinez!" "Name of a green dog!" muttered Tignol. Coquennil went on. "He isn't her cousin, and she isn't Alice, and he will be at Bonneton's house tomorrow." "What?" "Her name is Mary, and he is her stepfather." "How do you know that?" Coquenil smiled. "I found an inscription on the back of that Brussels photograph—I mean the genuine one. It was hidden under a hinged support, and Grocer must have overlooked it. That was his second great mistake. It read, 'To my dear husband, Raoul, from his devoted wife, Margaret, and her little Mary.' You notice it says her little Mary. That one word throws a flood of light on this case. The child was not his little Mary." "I see, I see," redirected the old man. "And Alice? Does she know that—that she isn't Alice?" "No." "See here." suddenly said Coquenil; "we've talked too much. You must hurry back to Alice. Better take an auto. And, remember, Papa Tigolol." he added in final warning, "there is nothing so important as to guard this girl." A few moments later, with Caesar bounding happily at his side, M. Paul entered the quiet paths of the great park. With the dog at his heels M. Paul turned his steps toward a beautiful cool glaze. Here he came into plain view of a company ladies and gentlemen who, having witnessed the review, had chosen this delight spot for lunchoon. They were elegantly rich and fashionable people, for they had come as a coaching party on a very smart break, with four beautiful horses, and some in a fashing red and black automobile that was now drawn up beside the larger vehicle. Coupeau's interest was heightened when he overheard a passing couple say that these were the guests of no less a person than the Duke of Montreuil, whose lavish entertainments were the talk of Paris. So they went on together, master and dog and were passing around on the far side of the coaching party when suddenly Caesar began to nose the ground excitedly. Then, running to his master he stood with eager eyes, as if urging some pursuit. The detective observed the dog in surprise. Was this some foolish whim to follow a squirrel or a rabbit? It wasn't like Caesar. "Come come be reasoned with friendly childing 'don't be a baby' Cesar gravelled in vigorous protest and, darling now began circling the ground before him back and forth, in widening curves as Conquenil had taught him M Paul was puzzled Evidently there was a scent here, but what scent? He had made no experiments with Cesar since the night of the crime, when the dog had taken the scent of the platoi and found the alleyway footprints. But that was ten days ago. The dog could not still be on that same scent impossible. Then, deciding quickly he gave the word, "Cherche!" On through the woods went Caesar, nose down, tail rigid, following the scent, moving carefully among the trees and once or twice losing the trail but suddenly thrilling again, and presently as he reached more open ground, running ahead swiftly, straight toward the coaching party. Coquennal realized the danger and called loudly to the dog, but his voice was drowned by the cries of ladies on the break, who, seeing the bounding animal, screamed their fright. The dog was flying full at the break, eyes fixed, body tense and now, with a splendid effort, he was actually hurling him self through the air when among the confused figures on the coach a man leaned forward suddenly. There was a sharp report, and then Coquennil saw Caesar fall back to the ground. "My dog, my dog" he cried, coming up in the stricken creature One glance showed there was nothing to be done. The bullet had crushed into the broad breast in front of the left shoulder, and it was all over with Cearar. "You coward!" flung out the heart-skid man. "You have killed my dog." Then some one on the break said, "We had better more along, hadn't we. Result?" "Yes," agreed another "What a beauty bore!" (To Be Continued.) The Matter of a Semicolon. A Russian military paper tolls of a lieutenant who overheard a sergeant giving a recruit a short lecture upon his duties. "The military service," said the sergeant, "requires little prayer to God and a strict attention to the orders of a superior." Somewhat astonished at this singular definition of military duty, the officer ventured to ask the sergeant for his authority, whereupon the sergeant produced an ancient volume containing the following: "The military service requires little; prayer to God and strict attention to the orders of a superior." For a Change. And now the alrship comes along to cheer the weary heals. Celebration of Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of John Street Baptist Church Marked by interesting Gathering of Religious Workers. Successful Pastorate of the Rev. Illram Conway—Church Free of Debt. By ANNA L VAN ALLEN. One of the most pleasing as well as interesting events in church circles at Worcester, Mass., was the recent celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the John Street Baptist church by the members and congregation. The church was prettily decorated with flowers and streamers, and strung across the front were the two dates, 1885-1010. The celebration began on Sunday, and there was special music by the choir under the direction of its able chorister, George E. Stewart, at all the services. Among the speakers were the Revs. Horatio Carter, pastor of the Mount Olive Baptist church, Cambridge; R. French Hurley, pastor of the Bottol A. M. E. church; Charles E. Simmons, chaplain of the Worcester county jail, and Rev. Hiram Conway, pastor of the John Street church, who gave an interesting talk on the work of the past. One of the most enjoyable features of the celebration was the reception to the members and their invited guests. Descon Richard Brown was in charge of the program. The choir sang one of its charming anthems at the opening, and after a prayer and a vocal trio by the Misses Grace M. Johnson, Olive Johnson and Nanny Anderson the welcoming address was given by the pastor, the Rev. Hiram Conway. At the close of his speech the pastor was presented with a beautiful bouquet of carvations amid considerable aplause. There were several ministers from the various local churches present, among them being the Rev. W H. Davenport of the A. M E. Zion church, Rev. A B. Ridgways of the South Baptist church and J P. Cheney, who brought greetings from the Pleasant Street Baptist church, the society from which the John Street church sprang. The addresses were interpersed with musical numbers. Mr. and Mrs. William Cook of New York, former members, sent a beautiful silver individual communion set, with the name of the church and the date inscribed, along with a letter stating their regrets at being unable to be present. The principal address of the occasion was that of the Rev Charles E M. H. B. BEV. IIEAM CONWAY Simmons, chaplein of the Worcester county jail. The Rev Mr Simmons was in charge of the John street society when it was a mission, and he told some interesting details about the society while it was in its infancy and named some of the members who were with him at that time, only four of whom are now living. Not long after the church was organized the Rev Mr Conway, who is a graduate of one of the southern colleges, went to Worcester and was called to the John Street church, where he has since remained The Rev Mr Conway was congratulated by all the visiting clergymen on the record he has made for himself and the church—a record which is not equaled by any other minister in the city. He is the first and only pastor the John Street Baptist church has ever had, and this fact alone testifies to the high regard in which he is hold not only by the members of his own church, but by the public at large. His genial disposition has won him many friends, and under his administration the congregation has progressed onward and upward until now it has a splendid little church building entirely free of debt. Busy Workers For the Coleman Home.

A lady was entertaining some friends of her own sex at a select 5 o'clock tea, and her little son, who had been exceptionally well behaved, was in high feather. "Mother," he said as caké was being haped round, "may I have some tongue, please?" "There isn't any tongue, sonny." "That's funny," was the child's simple comment. "I board father, say there would be lots of it!" 'Phone, 577. Richmond, Va Funeral Director, Embalmer and Liverymon. All orders promptly filled at short notice by telegraph or telephone.

When you've dropped a dollar-button and it's rolled beneath the bed, Just as jokesmiths, through the years, do not waste your choice language—simply cause your mind to shed a psychotic wave that rolls it out. When you've stepped on a banana, and have lost both airying feet, Do not think disgrace you are surely going to quaff. Grab a psychologic layer, do a "giant dog of meat." And you'll give the waiting mob the merry laugh. When you've reached your home at even with your arms quite full of toy, And you catch your youngest son's suspicious eye. Cast psychology upon him, in his tense, expectant pose, And he'll never think to ask you how and why. You can use it on the pitch roof of a rival baseball team. It works in football matches, so they play. But as it isn't perfected or at least, so it won't work. So 'twil bring to one a needed boost in pay! Denver Republican. Getting the News.

APRIL, 18, 1910. Closing Argument Heard in Brownsville Army Court. The closing arguments of counsel today marked the beginning of end of the long-drawn-out military investigation of the "shooting up" of Brownsville, Tex., in August, 1906. The investigation has been conducted by an army court of inquiry, of which Lout. Gen. Young, retired, is chairman, and has been in progress almost continuously since April, 1899. The opening argument was made by Brig. Gen. A. S. Daggott, U. S. A. rolig. Gen. Daggott represented the discharged soldiers and made an earnest appeal in favor of the re-pollution of those who had shown by the only possible evidence that they had not participated in the raid and had given the court every bit of information they had bearing on the subject. It has been claimed, said Gen. Daggott, that these men "without honor" had not punishment, but simply a removal of bad men from the army. "These men were charged with committing, or concealing knowledge of, an atrocious crime. It was a crime that, would brand the perpetrators with a serious record of their families forever." They were "discharged without honor" for this crime by the authority to which the offender is subject. Men can endure the loss of fortune, friends, family life itself; they cannot bear disgrace. They were not allowed to for them if they had been killed in battle! Some of these men had served their country long and faithfully and honorably. They had endured hardship and exposed their lives in battle. They were looking forward, as usual, to a stable retirement, and a happy home during the remainder of their lives. DISGRACE WORSE THAN DEATH. "Every member of this court has hold a commission in the volunteer service. Which one would not rather have been killed in battle, or any other way, than have been 'discharged without honor.' And yet it has been claimed that those soldiers have not been punished. But the definition or punishment includes the fact that they have been entitled to rottie in less than two years on a comfortable support for himself and family At one stroke he is deprived of this right. If an advanced age of life, with a family to support, unacustomed to the ways of earning a living in civil life, he is thrown out on the cold, moreless world. Others, with various periods or services, are supposed to the same privileges, suffered the same treatment. And yet it has been claimed that they were not punished. "It has been claimed again that the discipline or the army required the discharge of these men "without honor" it is fortunate that I am speaking to old army officers on this subject I think all will agree that the company commander has the best opportunity to be involved that discipline is and how to attain it. The greatest stroke on the discipline of the army that could be struck today would be to show the army that justice shall be moted out to those men of the 25th Infantry. Punish the guilty, If there are any, restore the innocent to all their rights. If no guilty can be found, be governed by the rule of law, that a man is innocent till proved guilty. If no guilty can be proved that one innocent man can be punished in the adage. We have no right to punish the innocent with the guilty. No emergency can justify it. DECLARES EVIDENCE LACKING "But suppose some of the soldiers did the shooting. Were they? What individual is there against whom there is a spark of evidence? If they are not, then they be restored to duty. But it is more important for the army that innocent-men may roat in the conciliences that they will not be thrown out suddenly and disgraced for the country. It cannot afford to stand sponsor for the errors of the servants, however, well intentioned they may have been. It shows the nobility of a man to right a wrong. How much more a governmentalty officer be done unto a nation or a man." "All witnesses who heard bullets that night, whether passing up the strokes of Brownvillie or over the barracks and parade ground, described the sound as a "whizzing, whirring sound. Not one of them which is the only word that can describe the sound of the Springfield rifle bullet. This is nearly conclusive that these bullets were not fired from the Springfield rifle. Before the microscope inspection of the shells they wrote the strongest evidence against the soldiers. Since that inspection, the evidence of their innocence. "It is a principle of American and British law that a man is innocent till proven guilty. It is an axiom of American and English law that the law will not exact impossibilities. It has been said that those men must prove their innocence. Woll, what can they do? How shall they do it? Nearly all of the soldiers who does not know of any soldier who was engaged in the shooting. "Where could they and other wit- nesses, who had any opportunity to know about the shootout? What other evidence was it possible for them to WITH THE WORD, I AM, I AM, I AM, the law, does, and exact, impossibilities. The honor of these men, dearer than life, is with this court. It can con- tinue the mirage on these men, and their offspring. "if ever there was, n, case where "if ever there was, n, case where "now allowing decision." THE END COMICS The War Department Wins in its Fight on the Colored Soldiers—A Few Men Reinforced. Washington, D. G., April 6.—The military court of acquittal, during the last year, has been investigating the shooting-up of Brownville, Tex. finds that the evidence clearly sustains the charge that the shooting was done by soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, colored. As to the charges made by the mayor and citizens of Brownville, the soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, stationed at Fort Brown, Tex. did on the night of August 13-14, 1906, shoot into houses of the town of Brownville, Tex. occupied by men, women and children, killing Frank Natus, a citizen of that town; seriously wounding the lieutenant of police, Domingus, causing the loss of a man and killing the horse under him. The court is unanimous in its opinion that the evidence sustains the charges Also, as to the disciplinary aspect of their crime, including the performance of duty by officers and enlisted men of the Twentieth-fifth Infantry, garrisoned in Fort Bryan, N.C., in April 1914, 1906, as measured by the standard in the army, the court is of the opinion that if the officers, non-comissioned officers, and private had performed their respective duties on the evening of August 13-14, 1906, immediately prior to the shooting affray, with apprehension or the objection upon them by the serious situation then confronting them, the shooting affray could not have occurred. Also, if immediately after the shooting when the man had been charged with the crime, a careful inspection of every man in the garrison, including his arms, equipment and ammunition, was attempted at daylight, several hours afterwards, some of the guilty men would have been discovered. As to the eligibility to relatement, a majority of the zernt finds favorably as to the qualifications of the following man: Company B, Twenty-fifth Infanty—Jones A. Cotrane, Edward E. Daniels, Edward Warfield, Company C, Twenty-fifth Infanty—John A. Adair, Henry W. Arvin, Calvin Smith, John Smith, Company D, Twenty-fifth Infanty—Robert Williams, Winter Washingtin, Ellas Gant, John A. Jackson, Samuel E. Scott and William Van Hook. Brig-Gen Theodore Schwan does not concur in the second conclusion. Lieutenant-General Samuel B. M Young and Major-General Joseph P. Fanger do not concur in the third conclusion. Bring to the terms of the act creating the board of inquiry, its findings are final, and cannot be reviewed by any one --- THE BROWNSVILLE SHOOTING Verdict Says Nobody In Guilty, There fore Everybody In Guilty. Under the Forkar resolution the military court of Inquiry appointed to investigate the Brownsville shooting affray, as a condition to their re-enlistment, was to pass on the innocence and guilt of the 270 negro men who three years ago were dismissed without honor by President Roosevelt. Like all the previous investigating bodies, after a year's diligent efforts the court is unable to establish the guilt of a single individual. According to the report, the court again convicts the entire battalion. The logic of the verdict is as clear as day. As the report reads, nobody is guilty, therefore everybody is guilty, and, everybody being guilty, nobody is innocent, unless it be presumably the fourteen men who re-enlisted. How could escape being guilty when the entire battalion is guilty, except they were in Alaska or the Philippines or some equally distant place at the time of the shooting, is one of the mysteries of the case. And if these fourteen men are innocent, why have they undergoing punishment for three years? One other point the court brings out, perhaps inadvertently. According to its findings, if the officers or the regiment had performed their duties immediately prior to the shooting affray, it could not have occurred; and also if immediately after the shoot the regiment had formed their duty "some of the guilty men would have been discovered." So no guilty men have been discovered and 270 have been punished; but the officers, who did not perform their duty on two occasions, were known and have enjoyed immunity. To be successful a farce should lead up to a grotesque climax. The course of the guilty man done as that possibly be guilty by the same Brownville burlesque upon justice a triumph of absurdity—New York World. The Latest Brownsville Outrage. The gross injustice, the variable outrage or the report of the Tatt Brownville Board is shown by the comment of the Boston Transcript, pro-choice, tough-hearted reactionary. It makes it more difficult to light the its attitude on this question in the past to have approved the finding. Instead it speaks statically of the investigation by the Cameron county, Texas, grand jury, by the marshal, by the U. S. Senate committee, by the antitrust detective agency. and finally by this special court of inquiry. Then it concludes this: 'Yet the mystery of Brownville will cling to Brownville inquiries. The court is not unanimous. Two of the most important mending restoration of the specifie fourteen; and one, General Schwan amphitheaterly disarrants from the majorly criticism of the conduct of the offenders of the garrison limned.' If a board of veteran officers, long familiarized by actual service, with troops in the field, camp and garrison, finds itself able to specify only a certain number of soldiers as absolutely innocent of participation in the military service, the civilian public may as well abandon all hope of ever identifying the actual raiders. Military man, by reading all the evidence, in the light of their tactical knowledge, may not be able wholly to solve the mystery of the attack, but was strong recently with some of those who had thus endeavored to penetrate the obscurity that not more than eighteen soldiers were involved. A conjecture which has found favor in army circles is that the enemy was three or four sets of "fours" with a few fainthoated accomplices following in the rear it will be noted that the special court does not wholly indorse President Rocovelli's course, nor wholly disapprove it, for it recommends the restoration of fourteen soldiers to the order of discharge without honor." Though heretofore the talk on Roosevelt's part was only about 30 soldiers, now out or 167 only 14 are recommended for re-enlistment. This last seems to make glaring the call rage. —Boston, Mass. Guardian The Brownsville Decision. The court of inquiry in the Brownville case has at last rendered its decision. As has been forsahadowed by those who know most, several months ago, this decision is adverse to the soldiers. They could not prove that the soldiers were injured, and hence genesis ever undestakes to prove a negative. They could not prove that a single soldier was engaged in the shooting up of Brownville, and yet they declared that one hundred and twenty-five of them were guilty. The soldiers from which it deducted the fact that some of the soldiers did the shoot ing, and because none would say who did it, all it were adjudged guilty alike. Only fourteen are named as being worthy of re-enlistment. We presume that they are those who were absent from the barracks on the night in question. Attorney Marshall who represented the soldiers did perfectly right to refusing to make any argument before the court. There was no way by which the colored men could prove direct that they were innocent, but they offered to prove indirectly by showing that some one did it.

Pa Odd Fellows Journal WANT LEE STATUE REMOVED Massachusetts G. A. R. Encampment Sends Prot to Congress. Boston, April 8 —At the Massa- chusetts G. A. R. encampment today the veterans unanimously entered a national House of Representatives of the status of Gen Robert E. Lee and pitiloned Congress for the removal Retiring Department Commander John L. Parker said on the subject: It would be an insult to the memory of the men who gave their lives to the war, and the veterans who have survived the war and who still cherish a love for the flag they fought under to place the status of Robert E. Lee in the full uniform of a robot General in the Hall of Fame, as it would teach to coming generations that the man who fought to destroy his country like the highest honors the nation can best Commander Parker said further that Congress passed the act setting apart the Hall of Fame in April, 1864, and that in the same week one commander by Robert E. Lee made an assault on the capital of the nation under the leadership of Jubal Early. The resolution said in substance that the Department of Massachusetts had requested the convention assembled, most courteously and earnestly requests the State of Virginia to withdraw this statue from the national Capitol, and most respectfully petition the Congress of the United States to remove the same order by the donors of the statue. Senior Vice-Commander Brown said that, after full investigation it had been determined that Robert E. Lee never accepted the terms of amnesty offered by Gen. Grant, but did not accept the terms of States, and that his claims therefore had no basis in the hall of honor. PASTOR SLAIN BY MADMAN Shot by Man Who Listened to His Sermon. Said She Would Die For the Church, and Insane Man Took Him at His Word—Slayer Escaped. A sermon on martyrdom, in which Frank Skala, an editor and prominent mission worker, had declared himself willing to lay down his life for the Christian cause, was followed by his assassination in a highly sensational manner, and the shooting down also of a fellow church leader, John Gay. Arm II arm, the two missionaries were, leaving the little Congregational church in Wood's Run, a suburb of Pittburg at the head of more than a hundred of their followers. A raggedly dressed and collarless man poked his way through the corner of Wood street and McClure avenue, and when he was but a step behind the leaders, he pressed a revolver to Skala's head and frod twice. The bullets took effect in the jaw and in the temple and in the midst of his followers he fell dead. Gay, who threw up his right hand as if to ward off the weapon, was struck first in the chest and then in the head. He fell unconscious across the lifeless body of his colleague. For a moment the assasinator stood over his victim in crazed grumph over the deed flourishing his revolver, while the panic stricken crowd fled to shelter behind posts and doorways. The murderer was Jan Radowich, a student known to most of his mission for his shiffless helmets, slovenly dress and radical opinions. A moment before he had meekly read from juvenile leaflets in the Sunday school led by Skala, previously he had sat in a back paw of the church during the regular sermon, and at the commencement of the services Skala had shaken his head in all this Dadowitch had given no warning of his murderous intent. There were no police in sight when the murder was done, the church people were too frightened to grab the assassin, and after the wild flourish of the weapon and stamping his foot on the bodies, he made off down the avenue to the Fort Wayne railroad tracks and was soon lost to view. A large armed pose of police detectives and church people was soon in pursuit, but they have found no trace of them. After the madman's disappearance the mission crew reassembled about their fallen leaders and passionately mourned their loss. Shakla's body was removed to an undertaking establishment and Gay was taken to St John's hospital. His wound is dangerous but it is believed at the hospital that he will recover. None of the church workers believe that there was any method in Radovich's madness. He was a man who raided and as a charitable parasite elsewhere, but was always at variance with the reachings of his Christian leaders. It is doubtful if he had ever seen Skala before. Millionaire Indicted For Brirley The grand jury at Pittsburg Pa. indicted Frank N Hofferf president of the German National bank, of Allegheny, as well as president of the Pressed Steel Car company, on the charges of bribery and conspiracy President Emil Winter of the Work ingnson's Savings Bank and Trust company, of Allegheny another financial power of Pittsburg, went into court to confess that he had bribed councilmen to the extent of $200,000 and Anderson general book keeper of the Workingman's Savings Bank and Trust company was arraigned on a charge of having mutilated the books of his bank to save the ex poseure of certain persons.

Ballroads Bales Wanes Employees of the Philadelphia & Reading railway were notified that beginning April 1 their wages would be increased 6 per cent. The announcement, made in Philadelphia, says that the increase will be general among all permanent employees receiving less than 6 per cent. The increase been adjusted within the last ninety days. Coming within twenty-four hours after the announcement by the Pennsylvania Railroad company of its wage boost and the increase all alike, has given rise to a report that there has been a slip-up in the announcement of the increase that raises were intended to be published simultaneously in railroad circles it was recalled that the last general increase in wages, made by the two companies in 1808, were announced at the same time. The increase at that time was 10 per cent. The Reading's increase will affect about $7,000 employees. As the average pay is about $60 a month, the addition will cost the company about $7,800 a month, or $1,166,400 annually. The total number of employees, including those in the general offices, is $7,500. Not including the general office, the number of employee is given as $R.100$. To Reqare Oil and Tobacco Cases. Both the oil trust and the tobacco trust dissolution cases must again be argued before the supreme court of the United States. This announcement was made by the chief justice. The reargument of these cases contended that the death of Justice Flower a few days after the Standard Oil case had been argued. As Justice Moody, was unable to participate in the consideration of these cases only seven justices were left to give a decision. How the court was divided in regard to the decision is still as much a mystery as before the assignment of the cases for reargement. It is believed, however, that the court was evenly divided or almost so, probably by the objection to the country's decision which was not supported by a majority of a full court. Buch a majority would be five members. The fact that the corporation tax cases were not set for reargument is taken to mean that a decision will be announced in regard to the constitutionality of the law authorizing it in a short time.

Faithful Herald of the Cross Passes Away in Africa. The news of the recent death of the Rev Dr H N Bouey, missionary in charge of the work of the foreign mission board, west coast of Africa, for the national Baptist convention of the United States, came as a great shock to the entire Baptist brotherhood in America. Rev Dr Bouey was born in Georgia Aug 4, 1840, and was a missionary in Aug for nine years. Before going to Africa he gave $100 toward the founding of the Western college, Macon, Mo., and spent twelve years as superintendent of missions in that state. On Dec 11, 1908, he sailed for Africa for the third and last time. He succeeded in building a church at Tal- tahua territory, and planned the erection of a permanent house for the Jordan industrial mission at Bendon station. JOHN H. HARRIS REV. DR. H. M. BOEHN. At his death the work was almost completed. Dr. Bouye leaves three boys to mourn their loss. His dying request was that his sons be educated in the United States. To this end Dr. L. G. Jordan, secretary of the foreign mission board, will work Dr. Petitford and wife of Birmingham, Ala., have agreed to give $100 toward the home passage of the boys. Memorial services in all churches throughout the denomination will be held during this month for the deceased missionary. Letters from pastors and missionaries at the mission rooms in Louisville, Ky., daily, asking for information concerning the life and work of Dr. Bouye in order to make the memorial services more interesting and effective The foreign mission board is making a attentive effort to raise a large sum of money on Easter Sunday, March 27, the day set apart for the annual foreign mission rally, and is urging every Baptist Sunday school in the country to use programs arranged and sent free to the Sunday schools by the board, provided the money raised on that day be given to foreign missions Judgment!

According to Luke he had just raised the son of the widow at Nain John the Baptist was in prison at Castle Boleyn on the east of the Dead Sea. Suggestion and Practical Thought. Christ's Answer to Honest Doubt -- Who was this doubter this John the Baptist? He was the last man in the world one might have expected to entertain doubts regarding Jesus. He was his cousin according to the flesh born only a short time before our Lord. He was brought up as a Nazir arts like Samson and Samuel, and his pure and simple life gave him fine insight into spiritual matters. II The Doubt Vs 13 Under what circumstances did John begin to doubt the Messiahship of Jesus? He had been cast into prison as a punishment for his bold condemnation of the sin of Herod Antipas. Herod had sent away his own wife and had perused his brother's wife to become his What was the sensible course that John took to rid himself of doubt? He sent directly to Jesus by "two of his disciples," who had remained faithful to him in all his trials. The message was, "Art thou he that should come a common and well understood description of the Messiah - or do we look for another?" Illustration "A weaver who had an elaborate piece of tapestry hung it stretched upon the tenter books in his yard. That night it was stolen. A piece of tapestry was found by the officers which seemed to answer the description, but as the pattern was not unlike that of other fabrics, there must be definite proof it was brought to the weaver's yard and there the perforations in the fabric were found to correspond precisely to the tenter books. This was demonstration in like manner if we place the life and character of Jesus against all prophecies of Messiah in Scripture in the sacred books of the false religions, and in the universal longings of the race, we shall find that there is a perfect correspondence point by point." David James Farrell (D. D. L. D. Christ's Answer to the Doubt, Vol. 46 Luke tells us (Luke 7:21) that when John's message was delivered Christ proceeded at once to work many miracles of healing including the cure of demonace and of the blind. Not until he had done this did he give the messengers his reply. Christ gave two credentials of his Messiahship what was the first "His miracles, the unbelied fact that the blind receive their sight and the lame walk the path are cleansed and the deaf hear that are raised up." With what significant exhortation did Jesus close his message to John? Blessed is he whoever shall not be offended in me. Christ a Institute of the Honest Doubter. What? Why our Lord as soon as John's disciples departed, tell the crowd what he thought of John? Because they right think that John a question into a weakness in him at which Christ would be fended. As John had exalted Jesus so Jesus would exalt John. Christ's Estimate of Dishonest Doubter. -Vs 16 19 John was ready to receive Jesus as soon as his mind could be convinced that is, he was an honest doubter. John turns severely upon a set of men, the Pharisees and lawyers (Luke 7 30), who showed plainly that they were dishonest doubter being unwilling to receive the truth no matter how much evidence was given them. To what does he compare them? To children playing in the marketplaces at marriage, and funerals trifling with the greatest things of life. Some are pretending to play the fiddle, like the hired musicians that headed the wedding proceedings followed by other children will not join in the piping or the walling at the right times to please them. These last of course are Jesus and John. To what comforting conclusion did Christ come? That wisdom—the Truth of which he was an incarnation—is justified approved, accepted, by her children even though all the children of the cell one reject her. Their hearts are in union with the gospel harp when Christ a minister strikes its golden strings their feelings vibrate to every touch they can accompany him through its whole compass of sound, from the low notes of pious grief and penitential sorrow up to the high thrilling tones of enraptured gratitude love, and praise"—Edward Payson Be not anxious about little things, if thou would learn to trust God with thine all. Act upon faith in little things, commit thy daily cares and anxieties to him and he will strengthen thy faith for greater trials that may come—D. Pussey. Contantment comes neither by culture nor by wishing. It is a reconciliation with one's lot, growing out of an inward superiority to our surroundings. J K McLean We need not more method, but more motive. John Willis Bauer Bill Jones was an eccentric character, a local justice of the peace in a South Carolina town. He was exceedingly tall—so attenuated, in fact, that but for his hat he would not have cast a shadow. One night a number of fellow bon vivants joined him in a symposium, and many mint juleps were consumed. One of the party unsteadily produced a revolver. It was accidentally discharged, and a bullet struck Bill Jones in the leg. Conscience stricken and wrably with excitement and juleps, the owner of the weapon hastened to the home of the nearest doctor and pulled the door bell. At length the physician, who had himself been spending a riotous evening, stuck his head from the second story window. "Whaza unazzer?" he demanded thickly "I jush shot Bill Jones in the leg" repited the man below. "Shot Bill Jones in the leg" repented the doctor wonderingly. "Thash what I shald," returned the offender "what Bill Jones in the leg" the doctor gazed down upon him admiringly. "Well," he said, "that wash a bell of a good shot." And he closed the window and went back to bed.

Newark Star A married man ran away with a silly young girl, and after an exciting chase the elopes were finally captured and returned to their homes. Feeling in the town ran high against the man, and a number of neighbors were sitting together one evening discussing the case. Naturally everybody had an idea of his own as to what action should be taken against the married man. One suggested jail for life, another said silently years in the penitentiary would do, and a third offered tar and feathers. A little man who sat in the carer looked up and smiled. "I have a scheme," he remarked, "that beats all of yours a mile." "What would you do with him?" the chorus asked. "I would turn him over to his wife's mother," said the quiet little man.

John Stetson used to have a vauceville house in Philadelphia, and he is augmented there the custom which prevails now in some of the cheaper theaters of taking a performer off in the middle of the turn if he did not please the patrons in front. Every Monday night opened his house with fifteen acts, and as each one went on he stood in the wings and allowed those in front to decide whether it should be retained on the bill. Sometimes the people in front would cry, "Take him off John, he's no good!" and Stetson would march out on the stage and drag the performer off, give him $10 for his performance and tell him he need not return. One evening there were two men who seemed especially obnoxious to the audience, who greeted them with cat calls and howling derision. They man aged, however, to get through with their song and came off the stage nervily preparing to return for the re-mainder of their act. "Here you!" shouted John Stetson "what was the name of that song?" "What a to that you?" asked one of the singers. "It may be something to you," an swerved Stetson with a few of the curse words for which he was noted "I am John Stetson and I want to know the name of that song." "Beg pardon, Mr Stetson!" said the crestfallen variety man "It is called 'Where are the Friends of Our Youth'." "Well you didn't seem to find them out in front. Take this $10 and go and hunt them on the outside." Show Your Talents.

A Suggestive Bark The man who ruined a sausage maker a trade by walking into his shop with a sackful of dead cats and dumping the contents down on the counter now finds a rival albeit an unintentional one in the person of a London waiter. The latter worthy, being asked by a customer for sausages, replied that there were none left, but, being an obliging disposition he went on to say that if the gentleman did not mind waiting for a few minutes some should be obtained for him including FLRD WILDLY INTO THE STREET of course, that they should be sent out for. The customer having signified his willingness to wait, the waiter proceeded to the culinary department to give the necessary instructions, but on arriving there he had the misfortune to step on the tail of a dog which belonged to one of the kitchen attendants.

A famous corporation lawyer was telling some anecdotes of criminal law: telling some uneducated of criminal law: "One case in my native Lynchburg," he said, "implicated a plantar of sinister repute. The plantar's chief witness was a servant named Calhoun White. The prosecution believed that Calhoun White knew much about his master's slady side. It also believed that Calhoun, in his misplaced affection, would lie in his master's behalf." "When, on the stand, Calhoun was ready for cross examination, the pro- secuting counsel said to him sterilized. "Now, Calhoun, I want you to understand the importance of telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth in this case." "Yes, sah," said Calhoun. "You know what will happen I suppose, if you don't tell the truth?" "Yes, sah," said Calhoun promptly. "Our side 'I will do case.'" On the Sly Professor Percival Lowell, the famous astronomer, once told an amusing story of an old woman he at one time had as housekeeper, to whom he made a sporting offer "Janet," he said to her one day "the very next planet I discover I will make you a present of $5." "You are very kind, air," she replied, "and I am sure I hope you will soon discover one." Several months went by, and no planets were discovered. "The fact of the master is, ma'n," confided the old woman at last to Mrs. Lowell. "I do think the professor goes out at night and discovers planets on the aly."

Never disturb the bees in cold weather Spring is the best time to make a start in bee-keeping Never approach the bee hives from the front if you would keep peace with the inmates. You can breed the nubbins out of the corn just as easy as you can breed the scrub cows out of the dry hard. Isn't it a shame that the wheat lands of this country produce an average of only about 12 bushels per acre? The hired man who shirks or dodges his work to save a backache will never be anything but a hired man. Gardening time will be here before you are ready for it. If you are not careful, regardless of the cold winds to-day. While you are backed up to the big store in the grocery store, don't leave your team shivering in the cold, unblanketed. The gasoline engine, valuable as it is, will never entirely take the place of really good horses on the farm or anywhere else. It is not good policy to keep a boy on the farm if he has the ability to earn the wages of a dozen bred men in the city. Let him go. The seeds of all kinds should be selected and the cleanest and best of the different varieties. If possible none other should be used. Select for fall plowing the stubborn, refractory clay soil, and on all fields not fall plowed have cover crops growing, to be plowed under in spring.

The shovel is Bod-Cutting Tool. thrust under the sod until it can go no further. Then the knife is jammed down and the whole withdrawn with a neat piece of sod. The operation consumes only a fraction of the time required to dig out a piece of turf by the old method, and has the additional mortar of bringing the sod out whole and with smooth sides, and not in the ragged shape that it sometimes is out. In the middle of the handle of this tool is a catch to engage the knife section and hold it out of the way when it is not needed to cut the sod loose. PLANNING FARM FOR PROFIT Bulletin Recently Issued by United States Department of Agriculture Important to Farmer. A recent bulletin issued by the United States department of agriculture entitled "Planning a Farm for Proof," deals with principles that are vital to successful farming in the corn belt. Pew farmers rehilts the difference in income that may be produced on the farms by the systematic introduction and rotation of clover or other leguminous crops over the entire area of their tillable land. The planning of rotations to meet certain feed requirements and to grow crops which shall be the greatest income producers under given conditions is a problem that is not easily solved by all the tillers of the soil. The conservation of soil fertility by appropriate rotations, together with applications of manures and fertilizers in each manner, will maintain a permanent system of agriculture has been largely overlooked by farm owners in the past. Farmers, Builders, 1970, describe the farmer's solving these difficult it challenges. A landowner in Illinois and others in the Midwest will find crops and farming tasks that may be substituted for the main tasks of corn and cotton farming practices, so as to raise the income all the way from two to five times as much as that commonly received, and at the same time, increase the fertility of the soil. A copy of this bulletin may be, had free on application to a member of congress or the secretary of agriculture.

An apparatus for lifting a wagon body is a simple contrivance and may be made by a farmer handy with tools. A A A (Fig. 1) are joists of an ordinary wagon shed upon which is placed a wooden roller B. This is four inches in diameter. D is a strong rope which winds around the roller and is fastened at its lower end to the cross place E. Through each end Lifting Wagon Body. of the cross piece passes a half-inch round bar F, with a bar on top of E. The lower ends of these bars end with square bends of three inches, which hook under the wagon bed and when turned half around will slip off and may be hoisted up and put out of the way. The handles C are four feet long and are morticed into the roller. A man or boy standing on the ground can turn the handles with ease and lift the bed in half the time it would require four men without this apparatus. Fig. 2 shows a jack for a wagon bed and a platform or frame to re- Wagon Bed Jack ocive the bed by driving four stout stakes into the ground, as high as the top of the standards and nailing cross pieces to them. The lifter consists of a stout piece of scantling or timber, which will reach two feet above the wagon bed, the top rounded, and a pin driven into it, which passes through a slot in the lever. Two chains with hooks are fastened at the short end of the lever and a rope or chain at the other end. The arm should be three feet and the lover and nine feet. The wagon is driven close against the side of the platform. The lifter should be placed as shown in the illustration, on a line midway between the wagon and the platform. The hooks on the ends of the chains are then caught under the bed, or on the rod which passes through the rear end of the bed, and by pulling on the rope or chain the bed is easily lifted out and swung around on the platform. The front end may be lifted over. The jack can be used to return the bed to the wagon. The jack may be moved from place to place and is serviceable for lifting other heavy articles.

To expect uniformity of opinion in this world. To look for judgment and experience in youth. To odensevor to mold all dispositions alike. Not to yield in unimportant trifles. To look for perfections in our own actions. To worry ourselves and others about what cannot be remedied. Not to alleviate if we can all that needs allotiation. Not to make allowances for the weaknesses of others. To consider anything impossible that we cannot burselves perform. To believe only what our finite minds can grasp. To live as if the moment, the time, the day were so important that it would live forever. To estimate people by some outside quality, for it is that within which makes the man. KEEP THESE IN MIND.

Heavy horses are not calculated for hard driving. Never feed corn alone to hogs. It is false economy. Carelessness in handling pigs is a bad habit to acquire. Sheep are excellent farm cleaners, weed killers and fertilisers. Does the barn smell stuffy these mornings? Fix that ventilator. Even on cold days, hogs should have plenty of good fresh air. The idea that anything is good enough for a pig is a mistaken one. Blanket your horses during the one storms as well as when it is extremely cold. On bright warm days open up the stable doors and let the blessed sunshine in. Some cornstalks may be fed to the porkers every day. They are sweet and do the hogs good. Every sheep owner should keep a pure bred ram, but every man is not qualified to keep pure bred stock. Everything possible should be done to bring the ewes to a vigorous floss forming condition at the mating period. The man who desires large profits from his stock should provide it with the best that good management will produce The man who sells his calves for veal and his young steer for other people to breed is robbing his own family. The man who keeps cattle, hops and sheep and owns a manure spreader will never be in fear of the fertilizer trust. If your best brown mare is worth $200 to the man over in the next township you may be a sure she is worth more than that to you—keep her.

To make the combination all that is necessary is to thrust the handle of the comb into the handle of the brush and one implement is formed. Instead, then, of raking a horse with the currycomb and going over him again with the brush, the whole operation can be performed with one stroke by passing the brush portion of the new implement over the path left by the preceding strokes of the comb when the next sweep of the comb is made. In this way two horses can be cleaned in the time it used to take to groom one. ADVANTAGES OF THE SILAGE Experiments Demonstrate That Field of Corn Will Yield $33 per Acre —Use in Fattening. (D) PROF D H OTIS. UNIVERSITY OF WILCOONS.) Of the various feeds which are the most palatable corn silage is without doubt the cheapest and most effective ration. It is a valuable feed for dairy and beef cattle and also for horses, calves and sheep. Many of the leading Wisconsin farmers find that allage can be handled as cheap, if not cheaper, than the corn crop can be handled in the usual manner. Silage furnishes a succulent feed with very little waste and is always ready to use. In combination with alfalfa or clover, with a mixture of corn or barley for grain, silage furnishes an especially good ration, all growth on the farm and cheaper than mill feeds. The importance of palatability cannot be overestimated as it increases the amount of feed eaten and, when properly assimilated, the more the animal eats the larger product it will return. A ton of mixed hay occupies 400 cubic feet of space and eight tons of corn silage can be put in the same amount of room. The ton of mixed hay contains about 960 pounds of digestible dry matter while eight tons of silage contain 2560 pounds of dry matter. This one point of the economical storage of the corn crop when put up in the form of silage is worthy of attention where a large number of animals are fed. The advantages of feeding silage during periods of drought fall easily precluded by those who have tried it during the latter part of last summer. Wisconsin suffered a severe drought and corn silage was followed by another summer alfalfa herd. The flow of milk was never kept up so weeding the summer as it was by the use of this silage. The amount of silage to become a more typical factor in successful dairy farming. The use of silage for fattening beef cattle has been tested at a number of experiment stations and by stockmen with excellent results in experiments conducted by the writer it was found that silage fed steers sold at $495 per 100 pounds, while those fed silage brought only $470 per 100 pounds a gain of 26 cents in favor of silage fed animals. It was found that for every 100 pounds of gain 471 pounds of silage fed saved 18 pounds of grain and 168 pounds of alfalfa. In these tests silage was fed in connection with alfalfa hay, corn chop, Kadir corn chop and cottonseed meal. The average soil, in unusual seasons, will produce 12 to 16 tons of green corn per acre. Even with a yield of 10 tons per acre there is an income, according to this experiment, of about $33 per acre. The financial statement of this experiment showed that the silage fed steers made a profit of $4.10 per head, while the same grade of steers fed on the same feed except silage lost $1.47 per head. Nothing Wasted with Sheep. Nothing need be wasted on the farm where sheep are kept—tufts of grass, weeds and aftermaths and odd bits of feed can all be utilized and converted into wool and mutton. Bad Habits of Colta Look out for bad habits in your colt. It is so much easier to keep them out than it is to get rid of them if they once get a hold on the young horse. Storing Celery. If your colery is to be stored and hold for late marketing it will keep better if not blanched too much in the field. Boll drawn up about the plants will help make the stalks straight and the plants compact, so they will store without necessary loss of space, but it is a mistake to try to complete blanching before storing.

Due either to an exaggerated opinion of Edith Pay's prowess as a jail break suspect, lack of confidence in Henrico store and nerve, the public has boldly asserted its belief that the nutritious yeggmen and little Dick Harris, his companion in crime, will not be in the hands of the law when their trial for robbing the Richmond post-office is called in the United States District Court on April 20th. All over town bots are being made that Pay and Harris will escape from the Henrico fall. These wagers are not being made solely by the men who sit around saloons and rack their brain for subjects of discussion. A different class is gambling. True, every element is represented in the getaway betting, and not many on the other side have covered the money OFFICIALS DEPLORE FEELING This fact, according to officers, presents a picture not at all to their liking. While they do not take any stock in this jail delivery talk, they do deplore the eagerness with which the public has seized that end of the argument, just as they deplore the tremendous feeling of sentiment which has been expressed in the prisoners' behalf. Out in Chicago they are gambling that Fay will not be in custody one week from to-morrow. Police officials in the Middle West know his record. The remorse he hone is out way of Janesville. Wis. falls some years ago, and they declare that crooks of the same type, who are anxious to return favors of the same kind, are now in this locality, waiting and hoping "A live Pinkerton man might pick up some of his old friends in Richmond," an officer in Chicago is quoted as saying "and if those yeas are around there now they may do a little second story work on the slide to pay expenses You can bet that they are within reach." SHOWS WRONG SPIRIT Henrico people bitterly resent the lack of confidence to freely expressed by the people of Richmond. They believe that it shows the wrong spirit giving out, as it does, the practical admission that there are no prisons in a town with 140,000 inhabitants safe enough to house a burglar. And they can understand that the prisons should have worked so much sympathy. The daring maner in which they robbed the post office is responsible for much of it," said an officer yesterday who is naturally anxious to see the park in the Federal penitentiary "It will come out at the trial that Fay who is known all over the country, is an ordinary crook of ex-traordinary type. All this talk about his being a millionaire, with a fine hope in Chicago and a string of horse races, is so much bosh. There is no standing reward of $0,000 for his head. You will hear of his confession you will hear that he and his kang had planned to rob the post-office in Asheville N C but gave it up only when convinced that little money was to be had there. They pulled off the biggest robbery in the history of the post-office department. They had the tools to do it. They would just as soon rob a bank—they might take some or your money, too and their record proves that they have shot and killed while committing crime. AERRAID TO FACE CAMERA If Fay is Fay- and there does not appear to be any doubt on that score he is a murderer as well as a robber, and the possible hope of escape may be responsible in large measure for his bitter fight to keep from being photographed Fay deserves no sympathy anywhere If by any chance he should be acquitted here, he will be immediately arrested to serve out unexpired terms, and to answer for other crimes. An escaped convict is a bad man. He ought be treated as an escaped public not as a martyrs' public does not know the unseen guards are around the Henrico jail If the men in duty there should get torrified, those criminals would never escape. And lurking around the place is mighty dangerous." They are not saying much around the Henrico fall about his public talk of escape. But the faller is constant on the job. Fay and Harris are in separate steel cages, and if any delivery attempt is made there will probably be a shooting exhibition which will make Henrico famous. But an even money bet that these criminals will gain their liberty, despite steel and shooting irons, is offered almost every hour in Richmond.—Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch, April 12, 1910. POLICE GUARD TO KEEP EYE ON FAY Bicycle Officer Chatterson Detailled for Duty at Henrico Jail. Acting on a request from Jailor Sydrón, of Henrico county, Chief of Detectives McMahon, who is in charge of the Police Department during the absence of Major Werner, last night detailed Bicycle Followers Chatterson for special guard duty in the Henrico jail, where Middie Pay and little Dick Harris are held for trial on the charge of robbing the Richmond postbailer. Officer, Chathamon: went, on, duty this morning, in a colony, Arrange ments will be made today by which a police guard will be maintained in the jail until the prisoners are convicted and sent to the Federal penitentiary in Atlantas, or acquitted. PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES. It was explained that nothing out of the ordinary had happened to make this extra precaution necessary, although the stand taken by Jailer Gordon was generally commanded by those who knew the situation and who resulted that he is determined to prevent any possibility of escape. Captain McMahon said that Officer Chatterson was selected because of his especial fitness. He is absolutely fearless, he is wide-awake and an athlete of some renown. He will not be the mere permanently, however, as the Police Department will detail other men to break the watch. The prisoners will not be tried until April 20th. When the government heard that practically the whole town was betting that Fay and Harris would escape, thus showing a lack of confidence in the county jail and the special guards' employed by Sheriff Kemp, the question of sonding postoffice inspectors or secret service men to Richmond was discussed, although the police detail will probably make that step unnecessary. TAKE NO PRISONERS AT NIGHT. Arrangements have also been made by which strange prisoners brought to the jail late at night by county Constables will be sent to the First Police Station for safe keeping over night. The authorities are not willing to take chances with confederates of the regimen who might get themselves arrested for trespassing or trivial offenses. In a word, when the county jail is locked up for the night it will not be opened again to receive prisoners or anybody else except a police officer detailed for duty by the department. It was explained yesterday—dor the information of the doubting public that Fay and Harris cannot possibly escape so long as the jailer has absolute loyalty on the part of the assistants in "The States Marshal" is keeping eye on the situation and he is not at all worried or alarmed by the street talk that he will be unable to produce the prisoners one week from today. Now with the police patrol, Fay's hope of gaining liberty will not amount to much. AFRAID OF LYNCHING A curious fact in connection with the notorious post office robber came to light yesterday. When he was being driven from the Byrd Street Station to the county jail, Fay lost control of his nerve and seemed terribly frightened. Even before his train reached the city he asked a deputy marshal if there was any danger of lynching, saying that lynch law, as he understood it, was a Southern product and that he didn't believe a robber would be shown any more mercy than was shown a murderer. He was shown a murderer, trodden and again when he saw hunts of people lining the sidewalks.
