Richmond Planet

THE RICHMOND PLANET Behold the brawn of Ethiopian years In concentrated form and courage true; The gist of many centuries here appears To make in this a man to dare and do. The vultured wing of trembling fear has flown And left full-master sinew, nerve and bone. Behold, to-day, vibrating human life! Yea, ye who moan likewise as those who joy. For from the proven crucible of strife The gold glows in its worth above alloy. We've seen unhampered fairness have its sway And smile upon its favorite in the fray. Loved Lincoln's pen proclaimed a people free And quickly dropped in stillness of grim death. But bitterness has marred sweet liberty And hushed the breathing of a privileged breath. A servant mind has gathered strength to show This Independence Proclamated blow. Courageous strength of mind must build the man To hew his way to giant's chosen place; He who would conquer in the loftiest plan Must mount the highest thought of any race. True worth is ever striving to its height— The city on a towering hill of light. Jack Johnson, we have waited long for you To grow our prayers into this single blow. To-day we place upon your wreath the dew Of tears—the wordless gratitude we owe. We kiss the perspiration from your face And give unbounded love in our embrace. —LUCIAN B. WATKINS. National Negro Political League Issues Call. The following call has been issued by the National Political League, which has members and branches in thirty states: To Colored Americans and their Fellow Countrymen. Greetings:— new round green. Greetings. By vote of the Executive Committee and by order of the President this call of the National Independent (formerly Negro-American) Political league is issued for the third annual meeting at Atlantic City New Jersey, August 4th and 5th, 1910. This national convention of Colored citizens is called under what grave conditions touching the object of this organization, the supreme aim of which is to maintain and secure for all Colored Americans the same rights and privileges as are enjoyed by the other citizens of these United States of America? In the southern states 95 per cent. of the nine million Colored citizens of the United States are deprived of the exercise of the ballot, the fundamental right under our system of government, without which there is for citizens neither protection nor freedom. This rape or the ballot is consummated in plain violation of the national constitution which forbids denial of the right to vote because of race or color. The executive head of the federal government within sixteen months officially admitted this disfranchisement in inaugural address and palliated the violation of the federal constitution instead of declaring his purpose to enforce the law in obedience to the oath he had just solemnly taken. President William H, Taft even intimated the legality of those devices for nullifying the 15th amendment by state laws which are as much worse than fraudulent practices as law is stronger than custom. The legislative branch of the federal government, specifically clothed with power to enforce the suffrage articles of the constitution, has viewed with apathy and inaction their flagrant violation save when actively condoning it by seating congressmen elected under the violation as against contestants entitled to seats if the federal law had been obeyed in their districts in the South. The judicial branch has dodged the issue in all cases brought involving southern disfranchisement laws, thus by persistent refusal of relief strengthening the nullification and emboldening the nullifiers of the supreme law of the land. In view of the very nature of our republican institutions, as well as of the declared reasons for our existence as an independent government. is not this condition sufficiently serious to twelve millions of Colored Americans to justify and necessitate a national convention, and sufficiently alarming to all believers in our country's destiny and defenders of her democracy and of her fair name to compel their sympathy and support? But what train of evils were let loose upon Colored Americans with disfranchisement! In the southern states unequal and oppressive laws have destroyed all their civil rights, excluding them from public places of business, of accommodation, or resort, even public parks and public libraries, barring from state, quasi-public and the public schools forcing them into separate and inferior schools, fastening upon them the public ignominy and caste stigma of segregation in public travel, casting them even into peonage. They are under the tyranny of taxation without representation. Left in that hapless and helpless condition of citizens without voice as to law-maker, law-enforcer, or low interpreter, they are not only the victims of injustice in the courts, but denied all trial by court or jury, are the prey of the flendish white mob, until now the almost daily lynching of human beings has disgraced our country before the civilized world. Inevitably this race persecution infects the north. Color prejudice is on the increase. Discrimination based on color in civil rights and in economic opportunities is gaining ground Jim-crow cars have reached the borders of the national capitol, twice color disfranchisement has raised its horrid head above Mason and Dixon's line, while bloody race riots and barbarous lynchings have reached up to Illinois, even to the home of the martyred Lincoln. Most harmful and portentous of all in this crusade of race hate and color prejudice is the action, under the present administration, of the federal government itself. For the first time in the United States a president has officially proclaimed color a political disability. By his declaration that he would not appoint Colored citizens to office where white citizens objected, he completed southern disfranchisement. It is Colored soldiers who are the victims when for the first time a battalion is discharged wholesale and without trial because of an alleged affray with civilians, and the new departure aggravated by the failure to establish individual guilt after trial is boldly continued. That unique degration of free citizens, segregation by color in public carriers, has been sanctioned and nationalized by a federal commission, while the federal court in support declares the right of even an interstate railroad to segregate Colored passengers. Unless one-eighth of the citizens of the United States are to be reduced to political serfdom, unless our Republic is to abandon democracy for the caste of color, this present trend must be resolutely opposed. Graver crisis in a Republic could hardly be. Colored Americans, rally to your own defense. From every town and city send delegates to this annual meeting, there to deliberate and organize for self-protection against this menace. And let all true patriots of whatever race, all friends of liberty, battle with us for equality of citizenship, for true democracy, that this may be in a very truth the home of the brave and the land of the free. By order of the President. Corresponding Secretary: June 22, 1910, 21 Cornhill, Boston Mass.

Chicago July 9.—Jack Johnson was offered a large sum of money to lay down to Jim Jeffries. Johnson declared that this was the reason for the break between him and his former manager, George Little. Little tried to show Johnson where he would benefit financially by throwing the fight to Jeffries, but the champion refused even to listen to such a proposition. Little would not name the persons in the deal, but intimated that they were connected closely with the Jeffries camp. At Johnson's refusal to lay down, Little abused him, and a wordy war followed. The dispute wound up with Johnson discharging his manager on the spot, and asking assistance from the San Francisco authorities to keep Little away from his camp. Following his discharge, Johnson James J. Jeffries Scenes in Jack Upper left hand picture shows J. Jordan, the official announcer intro- round, "all in down and out" after says that Little circulated stories that the champion was not training, and was in no condition to defend his title against Jeffries. Johnson is going to spend the next few days taking things easy. Nothing but automobiling for him until Sunday, when he leaves for New York to open his theatrical engagements. When Johnson was asked what he intended to do about Sam Langford's challenge, and his mother's statement that he was through fighting, he said: "Glad to be asked all at once," he replied, "cause I can say 'I don't know to it all. I have enough money to last me till next week, and I am going to find out what's doing before I do anything. Sam Langford or any one else had better get his money up first, and then proceed to whip me afterward. "I have some good chances to go to Europe, but I think the thirty weeks in vaudeville will suit me better. Guess I will have to 'quit,' though whether I want to or not." "Did you hear about the picture men's trouble?" he was asked. "Yes," he answered; "but it doesn't bother me. They all told me I was a fool to sell for $5,000, but they thought I could not whip Jeffries, too." After illustrating the manner in which he "turned the trick" with a reporter representing Jeffries, much to the discomfiture of the reporter, he said: "The fight is over; let's forget it (Continued on Fourth Page.) s After Knockout k Johnson's Victory Johnson and Jeffries in a clinch.

Lee Neal, colored, of Nineteenth and Grace Streets, was cut in two last night under a freight car loaded with watermelons in the yards of the Seaboard Air Line, at Fifteenth and Main Streets. His mangled body was found early this morning, and after viewing it, Coroner Taylor deemed an inquest unnecessary. Two watermelons were found lying near his body. Neal was the trusted porter of Edward L. Frost and Company, commission merchants at 1318 East Cary Street. He admitted yesterday morning that he had taken a drink of whiskey but as this was not unusual Mr. Frost sent the man out to unload a car of melons. About noon he asked to be let off for awhile and this was the last Mr. Frost saw of him alive. The negro had the key to the car of melons and was seen last night about 9 o'clock in the railroad yard near the car. The railroad people say the car was shifted about 9 o'clock The negro's employers do not know how the accident happened. The position is that Neal went to the car last night about 9 o'clock and secured two melons. He may have sat down on the track with the intention of eating one of the melons when the shifting train knocked him down and his body was run over. Mr. Frost said this morning that he is satisfied, had nothing happened to the man, he would have reported to-day that he took the two melons. They say they had always found him honest. When discovered this morning the upper part of the negro's body was under the car the legs on the outside of the track two wheels of the car having passed over the body. One arm was also crushed to pieces. A large crowd of people assembled and remained near the growse sight until about 7:30 o'clock, when the body was removed to an undetaker's to be prepared for burial.—News-Leader, July 7, 1910. Sable humor, tear impelling pathos, dueling, lynch law, suicide, attempted murder, gambling, heart entanglement and realistic character drawing combine to make "Cameo Kirby" an unusual play and an unusual novel—a cameo of modern fiction finely graven, richly set; a word cameo by those master craftsmen Booth Tarkington and Harry Leon Wilson, whereon are shifting pictures of the old drive along the Mississippi when the Natchez and the Robert E Lee raced to New Orleans with fortunes at stake, old days when gamblers, amateur and professional, won and lost almost unbelievable sums on the river steameries; days when Mark Twain was a pilot and when the real life prototype of Jim Bludso of the Prairie Belle held "her nor nzle agin the bank till the last gatoot" was ashore. A well born, well intentioned young man through association with bad companions becomes an accomplished gambler. Falsely accused of murder, he meets a young girl, writ whom he falls in love. How vital complications baffle him, how conspiracy places his life in the balance. how the love of a pure woman may work wonders in the regeneration of a man—these themes and others give "Cameo Kirby" its thrill, its fascination, its powerful heart interest CHAPTER I.

"Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war," he added occasionally inspectively reaching for his glass "and it was my fortune to stay at home and look after the plantation while my brother had it out with the Mercury."

That's an old and honored name in Plaquemine, suh," replied Mr. Bandall, opening his coat and inflaming inflamed checks with his huge albatross. "Kirby was my neighbor, suh, and I knew his folks well. I had the honor to be of some slight assistance when he went under during the panic years. Crops failed, banks went to smash, but you remember, I reckon. Well, suh, Mr. Kirby's son, Engine, came home from school to and his poli father dead and a bankrupt - everything swept away.

My dear son, requested the planner waiting an important hand, that is a nonsense for I hold that our entire existence is greatly controlled by luck and not law. I believe in a Supreme Being, sub, and I attend church regularly but I do not believe, sub, that our poh mundane affairs are regulated by a celestial corporation, especially such affairs as card games. Ioh know yourself colonel, that the best playlist in the world can stand against a run of blind luck, and as a man of the world I see some mob fortunes lost on high bands- bards or barmards topped by foh kings every trip—just because their holders don't sense enough to them.

"Now, sub you're bucking right against my pet hobby" replied Meau, leaning across the table and growing as earnest as his companion. "Of course I accept you word for such experiences; but it is the old case of the coin. I though rob may have taken heads a hundred times in success as I and the chance of it being tails is still an even bet. You a killer of heads, and you ten thousand that I hold the best hands in two out of three. There a sporting offer sub that will test rob theory." Randall blinked at his glass. Again he was momentarily sobered. "No suh. he said decidedly punking at his fitted shirt. "Those are high stakes colonel for as wealth goes nowadays. I am not a very rich man and I cannot afford to jeopardize the welfare of my children for the sake of proving my point. Agnise suh. consider it it would be taking an action. "Some.

"You pardon, suh, if I have offended. I am an old soldier," twirting his mustaches, "and gathape on an exaggerated and touchy sense of honor. When you mentioned impelling yoh welfare it seemed as if we were no longer indulging in a goof- eish menace, and I was the time. I have a very delicata sense of honor, suh, and perhaps I am too ready to back my opinions with suma which I consider more trifles. I hope this difference of opinion will not impair our but newly formed friendship, Mr. Randall." "I was too, hasty, colonel," replied the other "tob" reason my pride is as touch as you own. Come fill up your glass, such as Yoh's a good fellow; and I'm a good fellow.

The best two out of three. My cards, I reckon. There's my money, such. And he thumped a buckskin bag on the table? "Covered, such," replied Moreau, carefully peeling off ten $1,000 bills. By now the unconcern which Mr. Randall displayed was entirely authentic, for his incessant attention to his glass had lent him a bibulous courage and deduction of the future, in which lurked no wholesome leaven of caution. Moreover, his pride had been delicately touched to the quick, and rather than appear a "poker" before this magnificent acquaintance he would readily have hazarded his entire estate. Pride of family was his fetish, and a Randall, he considered, was an Admirable Crichton, who could be beaten nothing. All this was quite aside from his desire to uphold his self-heated reputation of man of the world" and the immutable conviction that his luck had turned. There was no doubt that if he had not sold his sugar crop for such an unexpectedly high figure he would not' have embarked on his subsequent gentle carousse, not although of a jovial nature, but of a more serious with the magnificent and highly estimable Colonel Moran, owner of the very delicate sense of honor. Although in that period a decade or so before the war which severed the country, but to ultimately knit it the more firmly together, the punch bowl was an institution" in every southern household. Mr. Randall was not what is termed a drinking man, and it was A "GANED KIRBY—THE WOOD ONE ON THE RIVER" solely on his perfectly business trips to the Crescent City that he permitted himself any latitude in that direction. Meanwhile Mr Randall had shuffled, dealt and lost the first showdown. The next, however, he won, only to lose the third and last. "I calculate, observed Moreau, careen with the blood of murdered him the black skin bag, "that I have proved my theory, sub. Yob tide has not turned, except for the worse. An even bet that yob lose the best out of the next six hands. We'll make it that number in order to give yob Randall luck a chance to come in. fob it really seems as if it was very bashful, sub. Do yob take me? Of rose yob are the doctor, sub, as I am the winner." The bird being plucked, the vulture was no longer serpently careful regarding its department in the wood, himself he could not but have noted the contempt and derision in the estimable colonel-voice and voice. "Yes I am the doctor, sub. I replied the platter 'philip' the doctor, and a Randall never quits. Never sub! I take汝 and I raise汝你. Fifty thousand that I beat you汝 out of six. That's the way you play,汝. Now, do you take汝 a movie?汝. More?" A momentary astonishment flickered in the other's eyes, for it seemed as if the bird had not been picked so cleanly as he had supposed "I reckoned汝 you cleaned out,汝.汝 he said cautiously "If you are serious, of course I take汝." Mr Randall, swaying untenalty, promptly slammed a green morocco wallet on the table. "That and a deed to my plantation, colonel, against汝 winsings and fohly thousand. I am about to show汝,汝. how a Randall plays jokes,汝. stake your everything and send汝 your loye this table dead broke,汝. Here to the Randall lock, and to the derrill,汝,汝 with everything else." And, drinking to this admirable sentiment, he raised his glass, drained it at a draft and sent it crashing to the floor. A lupine twist came to the other's lips as he produced pen, ink and paper. "Toh just make out that deed now, suh," he said awaively. "My name is Colonel Jacques Gaspard Deschannes Morane, and very much at joho service, sub." He stopped and whirled about, the pen extended in his hand, as the door of the private stateroom opened, giving admittance to a man of perhaps thirty-five, who exuded a certain debonair and raakih atmosphere. At the neck of this gentleman's elaborately frilled shirt there gleamed a huge cape, and companion stones fastened the cuffs at his wrists. "Gentlemen your servant, and my humble apologies," he said, with an elaborate bow. "I trust this is not an untimely intrusion." CHAPTER II "This is a private stateroom, dear!" interrupted Morane. HEYER "TUST THIS IS NOT AN UMPLELY INTRUSION." glaring at the intruder. "What—Why, as I live, it is Colonel Morean—by all the saints, your admirable self, my dear fellow!" heartily exclaimed the younger man, slapping the other on the back. "These lights are so dislobed disobliging I didn't recognize you. I have been watching the game for some time through that window," pointing to one on his right, "and you, must remember that a stateroom isn't private so long as the curtains aren't drawn. If I had known you were aboard I would have hunted you up long ago, for you know how I love a game, colonel, and hence this ventured intrusion. Have you any objection to making it three cornered? His bow included Mr. Randall, now blinking at the window, and hence the "Sorry, but quite impossible, such" replied Morean shortly: "I am already this gentleman's master fob a master of ten thousand and so he has been playing in the poh lob luck—and our next wager is for fifty thousand. Too high fob job, I calculate." "Not at all, I assure you." lightly replied the rudder, snirling into the other's venomous吻 "Ome; if your friend is willing, let me sit in. I really dislike upoh losing to you, colonel. Won't you introduce me?" Moreau hesitated, trying to read the other's eyes. Then, apparently satisfied, he turned to the moulding Mr. colonel sarin "That you, sub, to making it three?" My friend, new. Mr.-er-Mr Jackson of New Orleans. "Honored, sub" "Honored" "Walled the painting, arranging and extending a frank hand." "I warn you, sub, that the Randall luck has turned and that yoh will surely lose. Stay out sub, stay out!" he added impressively putting the other's shoulder "Who I am about to make a killing, and I don't want yoh to be among the dead. The colonel and I are old men of the world sub, but this is no place yoh a young man to be. I don't want my advice if the spirit in which it is offered, yoh I am a father sub, and I like yoh by. By God yoh remind me of a dear friend I once had - tim Kirbys, of Diaquemine "Come," interrupted Moreau "let us resume our friendly hostilities. Mr Randall, yoh you make yoh landing sub, in about half an hour." "I thank you for your advice air," said the intruder with sudden gravity, while gently and unmistakably she steered to his seat. He said it that course, for coral games of all kinds are my weakness. Perhaps if I had received it when I was younger. But I see our good colonel is impatient." "I am," replied Moran, shuffling the cards. "oh we have only half an hour, and it is to be the best out of six hands. Come, my money is up, as you see, and Mr. Randall draws a deck for his plantation as his stakes, so we await yoh pleasure. Mr.-er-Jackson" "I understand you to say that the stakes were fifty, not twenty and thou? replied the other, casually glancing at the column's roll. "I calculate my check is good for the balance," replied Moran, signalling a warning with his eyes "the National Bank of new treasury, suh." "Ah, a very sound institution, for I draw against it myself," observed the younger man. "As, of course, we do not have an amount with him he added, with defense, turning to Mr. Randall 'Colonel Moran' and I must of necessity substitute our checks. We are strangers to you, air, and-" "Yoh word, sulh is entirely suicident," interrupted the planter, waving his hand. "This is a question of honor between us, for I might draw a deed to a plantation I never owned. I am a man of the world, sulh, and I reckon we each can recognize a southern gentleman on light." "Yay, in the present company that is a very difficult matter," gravely答答. Jackson. "Oh shall we cut for the denz? The four host hands take all. Ah, luck is with me. I take the cards, air." "One moment said, Mormon, "as no stakes are up I reckon I will give my check for the full amount should I lose." Pocketing his roll, he glanced satirically at Mr Jackson. If for a presumable amateur who occasionally indulged in a gentleman's game merely for the sake of passing the time Colonel Moreau had exhibited a wonderful aptitude at shuffling and dealing his performance was now completely overshadowed, by that of the young intruder, whose lightning defenses was almost uncanny. Talking nonchallantly and brilliantly, the stock-raising and beautiful precision, fascination in the mind while the colonel's watchful and suspicious never for a moment relaxed their vigil. Owing entirely to this marvelous and criminal skill Mr Jackson won on his own 'deal and, buck following, bison', also on that of Mr. Randall. As each and every one of the colonels' understated were highly suggestible he naturally held the best hand, when, for a moment, the cards were in his power, and it spares eloquently for Mr. Jackson's large charity of judgment that he retained from the middle age, and acutely from the middle age, and rather clinically savoured his third ace from the bottom of the deck. But as youth must be served, especially when possessed of such communal skill as that owned by Mr. Jackson, the latter handsomely won his fourth showdown with surprising ease, voice and dash. "Well, that winds her," artfully remarked the colonel, arising and stretching his long arm. "One hundred thousand and ninth a bad cleanup, I reckon, but you always were lucky, you won against it. You even topped my foh kings. I calculate the Randall luck finished a very job last. How about yoh theory now, sub? The planter did not reply, for it is somewhat difficult for a but newly ruined man to sense the full humor of his condition. In silence he drew toward him the pen and ink, while for a long moment he stared at the white sheet of paper, upon which he was about to write. He then asked his and his婆子 were begars, total and complete. This was the turning of the title, his royal homecoming. For a moment he bowed his grizzled head; then, shutting his teeth against all thoughts of the future, seized the quill pen. For a Randall must show the world how it can loss. A Randall must be beaten at nothing—even at playing the fool. "Voh name, subh?" the courtously young stranger who had proved so fortunate. "Eugene Kirby, sir." "What?" exclaimed the planter in a dazed manner "I thought, subh"— "Oh, the colonel sometimes calls me Mr. Jackson because he thinks I resemble the general." lightly replied Camero Kirby as, head between bunda, he stared gravely at the table. "Any one will tell you my name is Eugene Kirby—even the Texas tender knows it." Ab, the General. I have a boy, sub, whom we affectionately call by that name?" replied Mr. Randall irreverently, staring at the ceiling. "I have three children, sub. There is Tom and Adela and the General. Their mother is dead, sub. And youyb yoh name is Eugene Kirby very strange, sub. I know the Kirts of Phquenantia, sub. No relation I suppose. But yob pardon, sub. And, with a hand now steady and firm, he wrote and signed the deed to the Randall plumination and, with a bow, handed it to the gambler father, he gave him the gambler reputation was said to be the worst on the river the son of the man who and been his greatest neighbor and closest friend. This accomplished, Mr Randall arose unsteadily and walked to the door where he turned and for a moment surreptuously the smoke fouled room with its litter of empty bottles. And if for a moment a seismic derealization of the very thorough manner in which he had been victimized permeated his throbbing brain no hint of it was depicted in face or bearing "Good evening, gentleman" he said gravely, "and thank you for the obligation Good evening" Head crest, he walked out and very softly closed the door Kirby resumed his preoccupied attitude at the table while Morren, carelessly lighting a choreo and pouring himself a drink, sprinkled elegantly over an adjacent coach. "Well, I calculate that the easiest mark that ever came our way," he observed, with a laugh. "Green as the everlasting bills." quietly pocketing Mr Randall's wallet, a delicate maneuver which Kirby neglected to note. calculate this is the first yoh you and youh would do. Yoh? Youh a deuce of a hand at the cards, my boy—never saw yoh equal befoh. I take it, yoh partner, Mr Larkin Bunce, is not with yoh this trip or yoh wouldn't have so unceremoniously doubled up with me. Or perhaps yoh two have fallen out, chl if so, suh. I will be happy to make our impromptu partnership permanent" Yoh swung slowly around and finally regarded his magnificent and available companion. "Since, when have you contemplated such an admirable partnership?" he blandly required. "Ever since I first saw yoh play, Kirby. Come yoh partner, Bunco, in crust—a bumber faced Yankee, with no manners whatever, suh." But yoh and I are gentlemen and would make the host team on the river. I consider our play tonight the biggest haul in a decade, and I promise yoh molh like it, if I never go in yoh playmate affairs. My fingers are growing a little too stiff yoh skillful manipulation, and I will defend and admirable finesse. I but have the manner, Kirby, and can rope the cattle for yoh to brand, suh. I'll guarantee yoh the biggest game on the river." "You will oblige me, sir," replied the other, carefully lightning a chorus, "by employing the prefix to my name—if ever in the future I am unfortunate enough to have you addresse me. Permit me to inform you that you are a blank scoundrel, alt! I cannot be too emphatic concerning that statement. Whenever I form a partnership with you I will be more qualified for a front seat in hodes than I am at the present moment. Why, you low, thiering swamp arm! he cried, losing all self control, "how dare you think" I gamble like you—by getting unsuspecting victims drunk and then robbing them? I watched you outrageously in the room, with the liquor in order to cover your characteristically clumsy manipulation of the cards, and if I stepped in tonight and stooped to emulate the type of game which you whichy play it in was in order to save your victim from complete and total ruin. It is unnecessary to say that when hr. Randall is capable of estimating what has occurred and is once more himself this deed will be returned to him." "Now, Kirby, yob can't play that song on his guitar," he said to his feet. "Yob-come in on my kill And then try to do me out of the spoils. That don't go, Kirby. I'm too old a hand. Keep that, like of talk, for haps heads. The Handall plantation is sold under the hammer, and I get two-thirds or— "Or, what?" coldly demanded Kirby, carefully pocketing the deed. "You know me, Mr. Moreau, so don't try to pull a derringer. It's considerably safer to wait until my back is turned. I say Mr. Randall himself will destroy this deed, and that his plan/action will not be sold, and you may believe it or not, just as you like. That ten thousand you virtually stole I cannot, unfortunately, refund, but, believe me, that is the entire extent of your stealing. For once in your life you are going to release a victim before he has been completely sucked dry; for once in your life you are going to be half way decent." "Degent?" bellowed the other "That's a compliment from one of you standing". "Like yourself, I game for a living. Mr. Morenum" coldly interrupted Kirk and told him to do honesty, and I have never yet stooped to the methods which you exclusively enjoy. Although you are NEVER --- MORPAL, CAREFULLY WIPING THE MOORING PATROL, REFILLED IT TO HIS PORCET seemingly not aware of the fact that a distinction of difference between a gambler and a thief. Once I had the privilege of meeting the friendship and esteem of gentlemen like Mr. Hammall, and I now warm you to keep your chaws off him. If ever in the future I catch you bleeding him as you did the evening can and will have a different outcome. I will now ask I beg you to remember this." Before Morpal could reply the sound of a single shot rang out from one of the staterooms and echoed itself over the river. Impulsively Kirby turned to the door and as he did so Morpal quickly withdrew his hand from the breast of his long frock coat. A tongue of fume leaping from his Derringer shattered the stagnant tobacco fumes, and with the acid bite of powder in his nostrils and a bullet through the lungs the younger man fighting hard against his fall, slowly caused himself to the floor. "For you, sub, continually spared Morgan carefully winding the smoking pistol and returning it to his breast pocket, while he coolly watched the writhing figure caught on its life." I calculate, sub, you are now booked for that front seat in hinds which you delineated. I'll teach you to play a low dinged guitar and play the violin. As he turned to refill his glass the door was violently torn open and a large, faced dawn entered. Morgan turned his hand slipping into his breast pocket. For a long moment the two confronted each other in silence. "Mr Randall has just blown out his brains," and the intruder slowly at length. "I guess that's your work, my fine old bucke. But I heard another shot. Where's my, Gene Kirby?" His eyes, restlessly searching the darkened room, looked at the huddled thing, now lying very still. "Gene," he cried, stooping and raising the other's head to his knee. "Speak to me, boy. It's your old pal, Bunco." "I calculate yoh friend is past speaking, suh," observed Morcau, backing toward the door and keeping a wary eye on the四面 faced Yankees. "Mr Kirby insulted me, suh, and has paid foh it with his life. I shot him in fair and honorable combat." "Fair and honorable hides!" snarled Fair and honorable to his foot. "Shot him is the back you skunk—your usual fair and honorable manner. You haven't the nerve to stand up and face a crippled hen!" "Stand back, suh," warned the other, drawing his Derringer. "Yoh are naturally excited and so I choose to over look yoh words, which I will not do in the future. But don't push me too far, sub—don't push me too far, fob even a gentleman has his limits." "No man ever double banked Gene Kirby incessantly," said Larkin Bunce in contrite, "and it'll be a good thing for you, Morcuen, if he is past speaking, you shouldn't be able to handle to pull through you can gamble he'll fix your case himself, but he doesn't, my fine old bucko, I'll settle your honorable hash. Yoh you stink up this river just about along enough." "It will afford me considerable pleasure, suh," replied the pseudo colunel in his best manner, "to place吕 you in the same position which yoh friend Mt. Kirby will shortly occupy. I refer, suh, to a front seat in the grill of the car. I will serve you Mt. Kirby servant, suh, and a very good evening." Bowing, the flower of southernh chivalry backed mimily through the door and disappeared. [TO DE CONTINUED.] Lunatic Slays His Father.

It is Said the Colonels Endorsement of Insurgent Is Not Significant—Will Speak For Lodge in Massachusetts. There was a new twist given to the senatorial contests that are going to take place in various parts of the country, when Colonel Roosevelt announced that he will go on the stump for Senator Albert J. Beveridge, of Indiana. He said that William Dudley Foulke and Lucian B. Swift, of Indiana, are close personal and political friends had come to Oyster Bay, L. K., to ask him to go to Indiana to speak for Senator Beveridge and he consented. The more fact that the colonel has endorsed Beveridge, an insurgent, who did not break with President Taft during the last session of congress, is no waken here to be particularly significant, for Mr. Roosevelt and Senator Beveridge have been warm friends for many years. The ox-president left no doubt in the minds of his inquirers in regard to the contest that Beveridge is engaged in as he did concerning Representative Polindexter. He made the announcement positively. The grand young man who ascended Sagamore Hill returned to the station with the same happy smile that other visitors have worn on similar occasions. With startling reticence he absolutely refused to tell what went on during his conference with the colonel, but a short while later Mr. Roosevelt himself left the cat out of the bag. He passed no comment, though, further than to remark that he will go out to Indiana next fall to speak in behalf of Senator Beveridge. Senator Beveridge came out fast-footed against the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill and voted against it all the time. He was active in the passage of the statehood bill, but slipped up on his attempt to get through congress the Alaska government bill. In the last session, however, Senator Beveridge helped the president pass the railroad bill and worked in harmony with Mr Taft. He is said to enjoy the friendship of the president. He is running however on an anti tariff and insurgent platform. Colonel Rooseyell is apparently unable to keep out of national politics even though he says he desires to for the time being At the end of his trip to Boston last week, on which he was the guest of Senator Lodge, the colonel promised to go down cast and aid Lodge in his struggle against Representative Butler Ameca, of Massachusetts. If he keeps all of these dates he'll be a busy Mr Rooseyell, when you take the state scrap in New York this fall into consideration.

Mrs. Young is the first woman ever elected to this office, and her victory upset all precedents in that association rejected the report of the nominating committee and chose the new president from the floor of the convention. The vote was 617 to 376, the question being on the substitution of Mrs. Young's name for that of Z X Snyder, of Colorado in the report of the committee on nominations. The election of Mrs Young was distinctly a victory for the women in the convention Since the association convened here the women delegates, led by Miss Grace E Strachan, of New York, Miss Elizabeth A Allen of New Jersey, and an enthusiastic Chicago delegation, had electioneered vigorously for Mrs Young to make her the first woman president of the organization. The nominating committee had decided on Z X Snyder superintendent of the Colorado State Normal school --- 80 Saved From Burning Steamer. The big triple-deck steamboat Grand Republic, returning from Rockaway Beach with about thirty excursionists on board, took fire in the lower bay at New York. The burning craft, the slater ship of the ill-fated General Blocum, was headed at once to the dock of the Crescent Athletic club, where all her panic stricken passengers were landed. Dense clouds of smoke cowrapped the Grand Republic, and a deet of tugs hurried at once to her assistance to prevent a repetition of the Blocum daster, in which 1900 lives were lost. The fire was confined to where it had starred, amidships. The big excursion boat was moving up into the bottle neck of the Narrowes when a coil of black smoke was soon coming from the superstructure abaft the waiting beam.

The marine fire alarm was sounded from the boat to the Staten Island and Long Island shores and all the steam craft in sight under full steam converged their courses to the burning craft to render assistance. In the meantime the Grand Republic was headed to the Long, island shore, where she docked at the Crescent Athletic club. The gang plank was run quickly ashore, and the passengers, many of whom had seized life preservers in case of need, were put ashore. Captain Carmen and Pursur John McConaghey, by prompt action, quelled what seemed for a few minutes would likely develop into a serious panic. Children and women alike began to scream for help, but as the shores at the point where the fire was discovered were close by, the fears of the passengers were quelled. Life preservers were handed out to the people as fast as they could be taken down from the racks, and for a time it looked as if many of those who had life preservers on would jump overboard. Lightning Goes Four Miles. A bolt of lightning, which looked to the spectators at Pottaville Pa. to be six inches in width, traveled four miles along the surface of the earth and at Mount Hope split a double house in twain. The furniture was overturned and the family thrown out of bed. Two miles further on a horse was electricated and two miles further on Mrs. James Bender was struck and killed her husband was also knocked unconscious but recovered when his body was placed in moist clay. Investigation showed that the bolt continued on its way near the earth's surface, killing dogs and chickens and in a number of instances knocking down fences. Farmer's Head Blown Off. Theodore Middleton, one of the most prosperous farmers and real estate owners in the locality of Milford, Del., was killed. He went to his chicken yard, as had beep his custom to kill rats, which infested the place. He took with him his gun. Prior to feeding the chickens he sat his gun down, when it exploded. The contents blew off the on side of his head and face. He died instantly. So severe was the explosion that the trigger was blown from its socket. Snake Attacks Sleeping Child. Asleep in bed in a house on J. W. Lovell's farm, near Bordon, ind., Harrison Money, seven years old, was attacked by a huge copperhead snake. The reptile thrust its fangs several times into the feet of the child inflicting wounds which, it is feared, will result in the boy's death. Bnake Blte Fatal.

BROOKINS STARTLES CROWD After Dashing Through Surf in Dip plane, Does Fancy Stunts High In Air That Made Spectators Hold Their Breath. Crossing the sailing line of the yacht John E. Mehre 2d, used as a target in place of a battleship at Atlantic City, Glenn Curtiss, using oranges an bombs, gave an exhibition of his ability to drop high explosives on the deck of the craft. Fearing harm to the officials and ladies on the yacht, Curtiss placed his missiles so accurately alongside that spray was thrown over the gowns of the women. Then whirling away. Curtiss took his plane for out to sea and beyond the range of anything but a twelve-inch gun, while the yacht passengers and watchers shuddered at the thought of the possibilities had the bombs been spheres of real explosives and the trim and glistening craft the object of real attack. "The trial shows absolutely that the day of the battleship for attack on foreign cities is pacing its end," declared Colonel William Allen Jones, U. S. A. retired, formerly of the engineer corps. "Curtles could have dropped a bomb on the deck of owen that small craft with just as much ease and certainty as he showed when he spun them close enough to this vessel to allow his ability without endangering the people here." "As for hitting that swooping aeroplanes from the deck of a battleship, it would be practically impossible except with rifle balls, and both driver and engine could be protected with the lightest sort of armor or bullet proof cloth," concluded the army official. Following his sham attack on the mock battleship, Curtiss dropped more orange "bombs" at a circular mark on the beach to show the case with which he could hurt explosives into the camp of soldiers. After the sham battle Walter Brookins gave another of his thrilling exhibitions of his ability to handle the big Wright machine, by making a series of whirling turns, ending with a daring rush through the surf in which his runners were buried in a monster breaker. The crowd, who thought that the youngster was about to tumble into the ocean, broke out into cheers when he lifted his plane into the air and landed safely on the beach. There followed such maneuvers and such dangerous stunts as probably never before have marked an aviation meet. Soems to Turn Completely Most spectacular and drilling of all was the feat that the aviator called the "bank." Apparently he turned completely over with his machine while hundreds of feet above the heads of the spectators. The daring aviator would take his machine to a good height so that it was plainly visible to all the dense and cheering throng. Then he would point the "prow" of his vessel almost straight upward while his motor hummed busily. While in this almost perpendicular position he gave his rudder plane a quick turn and whirled round and round, seeming to turn the machine upside down and clear over. Then came another stunt. Little less wonderful causing men and women below to catch their breath in astonishment at the daring of the man. Brookins soared beautifully, then gave his rudder the required twist and went whirling around again this time using one of his supporting planes as a pilot It was for all the world like a dancer whirling on one toe. This feat again brought out a chorus of cheers from the crowds. A sort of "zig zag" or "criss-cross" was the result prior to cause the 'Phone, 577. A. D. H.

Brookins took his machine high in the air, then darted down about twenty yards to the right. Quickly reversing, he would dart a similar distance down to the left. In this way, alternately darting to right and left, he descended to within about 200 feet of the crowds. Brookins was in the air eighteen minutes, showing the wonderful control he had of the machine. The meet ended formally on Tuesday, the aviators being presented with the prizes won during the meet.

The tragedy occurred in the presence of a great company of spectators, a majority of whom were women and children and many of the personal friends of the young aviator. The Wright biplane on which he was flying fell suddenly with terrific speed from a height of two feet. It struck the ground close to the crowded grand stand smashed into a tangled mass and before the doctors and their aslants could reach the spot Rolls was dend. The event in which Rolls was competing was for a prize for the aviator sighting nearest a given mark. The goal was directly in front of the grand stand, where the spectators were massed. He had risen to a good height and then shut off his motor and was gliding in a broad circle toward the mark. Without warning the tail piece of the biplane snapped off. The machine gave a sudden lurch and the framework crumpled up in the air. When it struck the ground it was smashed to splinters. The doctors found that Rolls had sustained a fractured skull. The wreck of the machine and twisted stays surrounded the body so that there was difficulty in extracting the fortunate man. Lord and Lally Liangattock the parents of Rolls narrowly escaped with pressing the catastrophe. They were yachting along the coast and put in at People near Bournemouth intending to attend the airplane meeting but put panel going until after noon. Audiencens the Swiss aviator, had a close shave while making a trial flight. His monoplane overturned and descended swiftly to the ground, but he escaped without injury. Captain Rolls had expected to come to the United States this fall to give exhibitions of flying and to compete in The Hawkin Hair Growers Hawkins-Price Co. Browers and Restorers.

GIRL VICTIM OF 3D DEGREE METHODS Tortured by Police to Make Her Confess Thefts. Sixteen year old Annie Blakus, a physical and mental wreck, accused the police of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., of vicious third degree methods in trying to make her confess to a number of thefts. She says she was called vile names in her cell by some of the policemen and detectives, that they threatened her if she did not admit the robberies and that the detectives visited her cell in relays to question her, abused her, called her names, and that she was dragged about by her bare arms from room to room. She admits committing several thefts, but say: she confessed to more in order to escape the third degree treatment. Lightning Kills Two Students.

SATURDAY JULY 16, 1910 MARY OF OWNER OF A ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` I will not disclose any personal information about you. A person won and we are ready to but what is the use of talking about? There is one great lesson let us emulate his example by citing in our field of labor just as he cited in the field of agriculture. It is reported that back in those getting just twents five hundred dollars per week. This reminds us his statement that once he was bored, but he is not hungry any more. And who would be to such a prince by salary The question now is can Roosevelt come back? can he defeat President Taft and his army of followers in an open warfare? To this query Mr Roosevelt seems to say that if he cannot come back he can favor the Democrats in the next campaign and make it possible for them to come back. Q It seems to us that Sam Langford put himself out of running by his talk at Reno, Nevada. He said that he would not go up against Jeffries intimating that he would be defeated. Johnson went up against the man that Langford did not dare to fight and he beat him. Now there seems to be no valid reason why Johnson should accommodate Langford. He must sit down and wait or defeat the fighters that Jack Johnson has passed up to him. "THE PARTING OF THE WAYS" That the two great political parties of the nation are in the hands of two men seem hardly to admit of a question Hon William Jennings Bryan has not retired or reenglished his commanding hold upon the Democracy Party of the nation. His radical policies have offered many of the ending Democrats a way out. Hon Jacobus Reeves it has decided to do the same thing relative to the Republican Party and at the As a state as it may see, Mr. Roosevelt by his own effort, one word of a travel to the present administration at Washington. This praetorally allied a book to his repute. That President Safer for the slight heart's would be to be for good communication.

But he will stand in any scramble for office. The said is a very strong arms so the President Taft will be a white to succeed himself. In this not being supported by Mr Coussalt if we are to judge by the way that follows. Here it is Meanwhile the President intends to preserve his friendships without any regard to political considerations. The call of Colonel Roosevelt at the summer capital on June 20 was that of one friend upon another, and it is known now that a minimum of politics was discussed. Colonel Roosevelt has not disclosed any plans that he has for the future and neither has the President. It was agreed at Colonel Roosevelt's suggestion when Taft assumed office that every suggestion of terence by the former President was to be avoided. The attitude of Colonel Roosevelt is understood to be that of a private citizen free to exercise all of the political privileges of a citizen and the President, destroys it to be no This is an open charge of bad faith on the part of Mr. Roosevelt. He promised that there should be no suggestion of interference with the present administration and he has "broken faith", for it is well known that he has not only suggested interference, but has given consolation and comfort to its avowed enemies. The Pinchot-Ballinger controversy is an example and Mr. Roosevelt gave out an interview Oyster Bay, N. Y. on the 13th inst. He is quoted as follows Oyster Bay N. Y. July 13 Theodore Roosevelt said with em- phasis to-day that he has taken no stand as yet in favor of either the Insurgents or the Regulars in the Republican Party, and he desires to correct any impression that he is showing favoritism. Of the situation within the party in New York State, he said that he saw only harmony abroad. I want you to make it clear he said to interviewers that I am see- ing both sides. I wish you would make that emphatic My main interest is in the State but on national issues I want to see both Regulars and Insurgents party men and in depends. I want to see Democrats as well as Republicans. But you don't want to see Dem forsets who he was asked Not if the Republicans do the right thing righted the record The last question propounded to Mr. Roosevelt seems to have struck the mark and to have caught him off his feet. He frankly admitted that the Republican leaders did not right according to his views, thinking it would want to down the war was willing to be stuck with a vengeance if the leaders repudiated it, thus in its body he professes to be reserves the right to favor the Party why should the colony leaders think the country be ostracised and thus if he does something. It may be well to do President Roosevelt a declaration that the political attitude of Mr. Roosevelt shall not affect his personal friendship for him. That may be true but what about Mr. Roosevelt's personal friendship for him. When Mr. Taft lines up his followers a support of his own organizing policies and Mr. Roosevelt finds that inside the Party that distinguished gentlemen has contempt of the opinion that he friend, Jonathan and David will not be able to withstand the strain. President Taft wished that while he should be fortunate and knew Mr. Ress was that he did not know that he was at the trend of pubs and that he is enjoying to sit at a bar himself in the light of pubs favor. Then it is the end of the leading states of this world. The tattoo of his friends like a colour on his pack looks now when he wore it at the light of pubs.

The falling of the ten at big lion leaders on the charge of murder has had a very salutary of foot and probably will be reflected all over the country. Let a few more officials follow in the footsteps of few Harmon let a few lynchers be convicted on the charge of first-degree murder and punished according to the law, and mobs will soon find that lynching is unprofitable. Lynching could have been stamped out long ago if all of the sword officials would do their duty. If a sheriff intends to surrender a prison he should be made enough to arm him and give him a chance for his life. The quickest way to handle a mob is to shoot the life out of it. After the Lynching is committed the best way is to hang the ring leader and place the followers in the penitentiary. Lynch-law must go.

Jeffries farmer came home today When he left here he was the undefeated heavyweight champion puglist of the world and plans were made for his triumphant return, but there were no bands at the Arcade Station to greet him to-day. It was a melanious holy even. About a dozen firm friends of the fighter were at the station to greet him and show him that although they had lost their money on him they were still his friend "Jeff" however refused to speak to them in a body or singly he marched, past them giving no look of re cognition in answer to their cheerful greetings made his way to a waiting automobile and was driven to his city home on Cyprus.

When the doors closed behind him the word was forthcoming on any object Mrs Jeffries his wife said to the way from the station to his home that Jim had acted that way oversee the late unpleasantness in Rome and that even she could get all solutions nothing out of him Jeff's face is still discolored and badly bruised and it will be several hours before the works will disappear Mrs Jeffries said she was going to try and get him to go out to his Parisian and as soon as possible that he might forget his troubles with him from San Frank who was his wife his brother Jack Mr and Mrs Jack Kuper George Cousins Na and John Sam Berger Arved on June 19, Jim Jeffries arrived in Los Angeles his home town. His reception formed a pathetic contrast with the gene of his departure. The heat champion slunk into town silent and morose with scarcely a word for the few close friends who were at the station to meet him. He made his way quietly through the town with little recognition from those on the streets. In the party were besides Jeffries his wife, his brother Jack Sam Berger, Tod Hoyer and Jack Kipper. They came down from San Francisco on the night train. On his arrival Jeffries hurried to his Los Angeles home, declaring that he would lose no time in getting out to his ranch at Burbank. The next few days will be given over to preparing for the hunting trip on which Jeff hopes to forget his loss of prestige. The present intention of the ex-champion is to leave Burbank on July 16 with a party of friends, going straight to the mountains. He will not return, if he follows his intention, until late in the Fall. Two or three months at the least will be spent camping and indulging in the sport that the fighter likes best.

Chicago, July 8.—Jack Johnson appeared at the First Trust and Savings Bank today, sought out Treasurer R. D. Forgan and placed $100,000 in checks in his hands. He grinned and remarked. "Plenty more where that came from," when he took his bank book and departed. Johnson strode into the bank about noon. Business in the bank was almost suspended when the big negro entered. He shook hands with several bank employees he knew and then grasped the hand of R. D. Forgan, treasurer of the institution. "Hello, I see you are back." re- "Yes, I am back with a little easy money," said Johnson. Then he went over to the cashier's window and presented ten chocks aggregating $100,000. After that, with a big crowd following him through the street, he walked over to the gas company's office to pay a bill. The big negro was grinning when he emerged from his house this morning and looked lovingly at his racing car, which his friends say will surely end his career as a champion fighter. "I am going to the bank and deposit some money" but will keep out a bunch so that I can treat my friends in Milwaukee right. I think I will run up to Milwaukee to day and see a few of my crones, said the pugilist. "How about that offer that you say little made you to lay down to Jeffries in the eighth round of your fight?" "That's right, the offer was made. It was made several weeks before the fight. That is why I broke with Little. He wanted me to quit before Jeffries so that he could clean up a bunch of money betting. I could have made a fortune, too, but I wouldn't do it. Do you think that any one tried to do you injury of dope you while you were training for the fight." Here Sig Mart Johnson's business Here Sig Jart Johnson's business manager broke up quickly. You bet they did Sutton was sick right after he got to our camp, and when we look back now we know that he got dope' of something which probably was intended for Jack. The big fellow nodded his head solemnly at this. Then he grinned as if the whole matter was not worth much of his time. NOT DOPED, SAYS JEFF Bollermaker Denies Being Drugged Before Battle Los Angeles July 9 -- I tell you, I wasn't doped I guess I know I was so worried I simply couldn't fight. Now, cut out this dope-talk. There wasn't a person in my camp who could have got to me to dope me, let alone rub dope into me." This was Jim Jeffries' answer to the suspicion that he had been doped. "That's foolish I know every man that laid a hand on me throughout the last two months of my training, and I will stand my life that none of them would do it. Not one ever had a more loyal bunch with him than I had while I was training They took care of me as if I were a baby and not one of them would do anything to hurt my chances. I am alone to blame for losing that fight. I was fool enough to believe the thousands of people who came to me and demanded that I fight to redeem the white race. They said I could come back and after a while I honestly believed that I could. But I couldn't That's all there is to it." Nevertheless Jack Jeff Kippers his brother and Jack Kippers his partner are firmly of the opinion that Jeff was tampered with in some way before he went into the ring. "I don't know who could have done it," said Jack Jeffries this afternoon, "but some one gave Jim a shot of something that cost him that fight. He was numb before the fight. It couldn't have been stage fright. His hands were cold and after the night a hot towel so hot that no one could hold it an instant put on his face did not make a muscle move. His flesh was dead as if he were paralyzed. Jim says he wasn't doped and I don't see who could have doodled it. Every man in the camp lost money on Jim and not one of them would have hurt his chances for the world. But something was wrong with Jim. "I pass," said Jack Kipper. I think him was doped but who did it is more than I can say. Him doesn't believe a word of it. And I don't say that because I lost a lot of money. I just believe he was doped that all I have no proof or evidence except his appearance when he went into the ring. I pass. 40HINSON READY FOR MORE Willing to Go on With Jeffries for Another Slice of Coin. Chicago July 9 - Jack Johnson the pugilist responding this afternoon to a report that his defeated rival was seeking a new bout, said I will give Jeffries another chance to win the championship if he wants it I will meet him at Reno on Labor day if that suits him I don't believe Jeffries was in as good condition on July 4 as he was two weeks before that, and for that reason I am willing to give him a chance" said the champion. "I don't want any dispute about my superiority if they want to fix a fight for Labor day at Reno. I am willing to do my part and there won't be any quarrel about the division of the purse, either." Johnson. In the course of his interview, took occasion to rolerate his charge that a former manager of his attempted to "fix" the fight for Jeffries to win. "Ihe offered me $300,000, providing I would bat half of it, that Joffries would win in the eighth round. He knew he could not get that sum back by hotting on the outcome, and so wafthed it fixed for a certain round. And there wore a lot of people led to believe that I had been fixed.

Lose Flavor If Allowed to Stand Long Before Cooking—New Potatoes—Native Greens That Have Green Vegetables—Wash in plenty of water, salted if insects are likely to be present. Do not soak. Remove speedily if salt is used. Cook quickly in salted boiling water over a good fire with cover off. Serve at once. Green vegetables are likely to grow dark and taste watery if allowed to stand. If they cannot be served at once, keep hot and moisten with steam—do not let them dry up. In cooking all dry vegetables the cover should be kept on, they should be started in cold water and salted when half done, instead of at the beginning. New Potatoes—New potatoes, if peeled, boiled, drained, and then shaken over the fire in the hot kettle are so sweet and palatable that no dressing is necessary for them. It makes them richer, of course, but does not make them sweeter eating Greens --Nativo greens begin with the dandelion, and dock and mustard soon follow. These and the horseradish tops as well are quite as good as a "stomach sweep" as the spinach we buy, and have some mineral properties of value which spinach has not. They are far better than the "beef, iron and wine," or whatnot from a bottle and less expensive. It is nothing to be ashamed of to gather onto greens, and may be "just as good exercise and of more sorts than chasing a golf ball. Nevertheless, I always get up early to gather the dandelions, the tender red things which come before the whitened plants which I can get in the markets. I have, gathered these for years, and I am not a suburbanite, either. Many a Chicago housewife, as well as those outside city limits, knows of some quiet spot where she can get a good mess of dandelions, and some know of spaces where the mustard and dock grow. Even the sorrel is procurable the quite aristocratic neighborhoods. Green Vegetable Tops—Economical housewives save the tops of radishes and of new turnips and boots, with the outside leaves of the new cabbage for a green or herb gumbo. Only rarely are the best tops fresh enough for beet greens. Equal parts of these, with some spinach, mustard and parsley, carefully washed, the midribs removed, boiled and parboiled with a teaspoon of soda, make more than a half of an economical and highly attractive and distinctive soup. The meat basis for such a soup is usually veal, with a slice of ham perhaps a Chicago Tribune. A Nice Breakfast Dish In cooking a roast for few persons the advantage of having enough to insure a jutty cut in serving is worth special effort to make the remainder a very slight burden, if used to best possible advantage. The following from Martha Taft Wentworth seems a good suggestion before the weather gets too hot. "Some of the cold roast might be sliced in very thin slices and warmed up in the gravy or a cupful of the meat chopped fine added to a small onion that has been fried in a little pork fat, a tablespoon each of chopped turnip carrot and celery covered with cold water and allowed to simmer until vegetables are tender Dragon well and turn over roast. Why Clean Milk? The importance of knowing about your milk supply is more than one of nice instincts and dread of dirt As milk is the chief food of those who are ill with fever and run down, it is folly to be negligent as to the healthfulness of that food Thin Corn Bread This goes well with the breakfast cup of coffee. To make it sift together three quarters of a cup fine cornmeal and flour, a half teaspoonful salt and a teaspoonful sugar. Heat together one egg and three-quarters of a cup of sweet milk, and stir into the dry mixture. Add a tablespoonful melted butter and beat hard. Stir in a teaspoonful baking powder, turn into a well greased shallow pan and bake for about twenty minutes in a quick oven Tongue With Tomato Sauce Cut cooked corned tongue in slices a little less than one-half inch thick, dip in bread crumbs, egg and crumbs; brown in butter, place on a dish, pour around this sauce; cook one-half can of tomatoes with one onion, two peppers; cook five minutes, strain, add two tablespoonfuls butter, two tablespoonfuls flour cooked together Salt to taste. Carrot Fritters Boll one good carrot until very tender, press through a sieve and season to taste with butter salt and pepper Shape the carrots in small flat cakes, and saute in butter Baked Milk Put the milk in a jar, covering the opening with white paper and bake in modern oven until thick as cream. May, be taken by the most dolleate stomach Strawberries and Coconut Takes R dish of toasted corn flakes, put fresh strawberries or fresh raspberries over top, with plenty of cream and sugar; makes most palatable dish. $2.50 RECIPE OURS WHAT MEN-FREE Send Name and Address Today— You Can Have It Free and Do Strong and Vigorous.

TO LAUNDER SHIRT WAISTS It Can Be Done Without Ironing and Without Great Amount of Trouble How to launder lingerie waistbands with out froning. There are many times, when traveling, that one would like to wash out lingerie blouses if facilities for froning were possible. The following method may be employed, with most satisfactory results. Wash the waist in a good suds of white soap. Hine well in hot water and then in cold water which may be slightly blued with a bluing that comes in the form of a booklet from which leaves are torn to be dissolved in the water. If desirable a bit of starch may be added to this water also. To dry, stretch carefully over a clean pillow. Fasten the waist at the belt around the pillow. Stuff the fullness in front and also the sleeves with white tissue paper smoothing the material out carefully. A piece of stiff paper the width and length of the collar should be fastened inside of it with the lace stretched over it. The cuffs may be treated in the same way if the waist is then placed in an open window it will will quickly and have every appearance of having been carefully froned.

To sing chicken holl them over a saucer of burning alcohol. It does not leave soot on the flesh. Slight stains can be removed from black cloth by rubbing with a freshly cut raw potato, wiping it with clean cloth. Chicken salad is delicious if mixed with small pieces of green popper and mayonnaise. Press the meat into pepper cases. Bolling oil is spread by water. To extinguish it throw down flour, sand or earth. The idea is to prevent the oil spreading. A cloth wring out of hot vinagar and water and lash on the forehead as hot as can be borne will relieve a headache. Woolen blankets should be placed in boxes lined with newspapers. Lay pieces of linen saturated with turpentine in the boxes to prevent an invasion of moths. Strawberry Shortcake Slift together two cupfuls of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one teaspoonful of salt. Rub one-half cupful of lard in flour and add enough cold water to form soft dough. Divide in two portions, roll out one portion, and place in pan allowing dough to come half way up side of pan. Roll out remainder of dough spread with soft butter, and place on first portion. Inake about twenty minutes in a moderate oven. Stem, wash, and drain one quart of berries, add one and a half cupful of sugar, crush with potato masher. As soon as cake comes from oven remove top crust, butter both top and bottom crusts, use half the harries between cakes and the remainder for top. If these directions are carefully followed the result will be a truly delicious short cake. Barley Water Put two ounces of pearl barley into half a pint of boiling water and let it simmer a few minutes, drain off and add two quartes of boiling water with a few flaps and stoned rains, cut fine. Holl slowly until reduced to about one-half and strain, sweeten to taste, adding the juice of a lemon and nutmeg if desired. --- SATURDAY...JULY 16, 1010 Johnson and Jeffries Both Reno Principals Again Put On Pan for a Roasting. Chicago July 11 - The most savage attack that has been made on James J. Jeffries in connection with the recent flatie flasco comes from the pen of H E Keough, one of the best known sporting writers in the middle West, who went to the const to represent the conservative Chicago Tribune at the fight in a letter telegraphed from San Francisco, to which city the writer went to pick up some of the aftermath of the fight. Keough openly accuses Jeffries of having been afraid of Johnson, says that his peculiar moods of the last few days of training were due to discovery that Johnson was in no fear of him, and insinuates that failure to fix things with the negro also had its effect. He says. Those who were not deceived in Jeffries can afford to spare a corner of the mantle of charity for, those who really are responsible for Jeffries deception Jeffries is not to blame. He showed only his real nature which in his previous fights cleverer handlers than those who surrounded him in his last battle kept in obeyance Jeffries was made a fighter, not a born one. He never fought willingly. He never fancied the trade except for the money, and he became champion of the world not through influences working from within, but through influences exerted from without. The man who was proclaimed the greatest of flastic champions always was a coward at heart. BALKED ON THE SQUIRES MATCH When the influence which kept his cowardice from showing in the battles in which he won and defended his title was withdrawn, he qualified when it manifested itself on the side of an opponent he collapsed utterly. Jeffries has tried to run out every time he has approached a match. There are mon heres who will tell you and bring witnesses too, that it even has been necessary to deduce him into the belief that his opponent had been fixed to "lay down" or that the referee would give him the better of it. "How he deliberately maimed himself before his match with Munroe and how he objectly crawled out of a fight with Bill Squires, leaving the man who made him holding the bag will become matters of ring history when the facts which have been kept under cover as a matter of policy come out. Had he fought Squires, who afterward probed a monument, counterfeit, he would have whipped him in a punch then there would not have been a Tommy Burns to profane the title of champion and there would not have been a Jack Johnson to take it away from him. None of all these things came out while Jeffries was being exploited by intriguing showmen as the only means of relieving a condition he created himself TRAINERS DID BEST THEY (COULD) There should be no reflection on Jeffries trainers. They performed a miracle by getting along as far as they did. They first had to create an atmosphere about him. This giant had to be constantly fed with assurances not only that he could be brought back to all the vigor of his former self, but that the man he had to whip lived in terror of him and would put up but a feeble resistance. Had the truth about Johnson's condition and confidence been brought to him and impressed upon him convincingly something would have happened to the white man's hope up in the Santa Cruz mountains long before the match was switched to Reno. "Had the truth about Johnson reached Jeffries about the time Gov. Gillett issued hisukase, Jeffries would have seized upon his pretext to break training and throw the match high into the air. This is the general belief now. Although he worked conscientiously in his own war, recover his physical form and strength, it was with the idea amounting almost to an undertaking to the quitting point. This thought sustained him to a week before the fight. "When he came to realize that the black man was no myth, that he could not depend upon outside help in disposing of him, terror selzed him. His churlishness to visitors and impulses to skulk away and hide when parons on friendly missions came to his camp were ingenuously construed as his dislike for adulation and so presented to the public DELANEY HAS LOST NO FRIENDS "When he heard it for a fact that Dolaney had his friends batting on the ugro and that Dolaney in person would manage the negro in the ring, it was all off with the boilermaker. He could not sleep and became a proy to nervous dyspepsia. He was led to the ring like a doomed man to the electric chair. "One can search San Francisco from the ferry dock to the Presidio without finding one who has any sympathy to bestow on Jeffries. He extraged the old, friends who, with him in his previous battles and has made no new ones smug the native songs. "Milly Delaney; instead of losing caste for louding the negro his assistance, has intruded his popularity over in Oakland, where he makes his home. The Warwick of the price fight is satisfied and at peace with himself and the world. Jeffries is the only man in all the world he would refuse to shake hands with, and no one as yet, has told him after hearing the details that he is to blame. "In the midst of the excitement in Chicago, Johnson took time to send Dolaney a night letter, addressing him as 'Jack Johnson's manager,' and thanking him profusely. Dolaney said, in showing the telegram, that Jeffries never did anything like that in his life. As to the managerial compliment, Dolaney said: 'There's nothing in that. I'm through with the fighting game. I won a good bit and made my friends or those of them as would listen to me, win well on Johnson, and that let's me out.' HOW GLEASON GOT IN ON IT "Jack Gleason motored over the mountains, from Reno, and was abroad on his native death last night. They are talking about Jack's luck in straying into a money making condition which he had no hand in creating. The story goes that Jack was in light-marching order when he conceived the idea of going after the fight, and found it expedient to throw down Jack Landrigan, who controls the petty municipality of Ocean View. Landrigan, it is said, secured a special permit for 45 rounds, put it in Gleason's pockets, together with $500 expense money and a certified check for $5,000 to use as a forift, and sent him East When Gleason arrived in New York he found Rickard had the fight sowed up by an agreement with the principals. Happy Jack was bound to bring home something, however, and he went to Berger Burger in turn told Rickard that there would be nothing doing with Joftries unless Gleason was in Rickard to take Gleason, and has had him ever since. "Landrigan naturally thought he was included with Gleason, but Gleason eventually assured him he was not, and Landrigan was left 27 lots, which he had bought for a site for the arena at Ocean View Finding himself on the outside, Landrigan got to work on the Oakland authories, and is credited with taking the first step in having the fight moved out of Emeryville." Chicago, July 11 — George Little one time manager of Champion Jack Johnson, is back in Chicago with blood in his eye. His first breath was spent in denying the many statements which Johnson has circulated relative to crooked deals in their relations, while his second was utilized in the statement that he would not only start suit for libel against the black champion, but that he would make disclosures against the ring giant himself that would startle the pugilistic world and would put things in an entirely different light. As a starter—for more is promised — the erstwhile manager said that Johnson had not fought a square battle since he had been with him and that the go with Ketchel just prior to the fight in Reno had been faxed. This merely to start the ball rolling. "The charge that I tried to bribe him to throw the fight, or ever for a moment entertained such an idea is a deliberete lie" said Little. "I am on my way now to New York to collect some $3,700 which I bet on Johnson while we were there in December to fix up the articles of agreement Bob Murphy of the Alain Hotel holds $2,000 of this, and here is a receipt you may see dated December showing that I bet $600 with Alice' attail on Jack." MONEY UP HAD TO STICK Little refuted all charges which Johnson had so far made against blun. Then the catech fight manager started in to tell the history of his dealings with Johnson from first to last embellishing the whole with as fine a little story of double-crossing as was ever narrated. The trouble really started in New York said Little. 'Just after the fight articles were signed I put up all the money for everything, giving Sullivan the $110,000 for our appearance in the ring, and here is Sullivan's receipt to show for it Johnson then had the bulge on me and he knew it, and from that time on he led me more or less of a dog's life. The real break came when they tried to beat me out of my picture money Richard and Gleason were to have 72.13 per cent of the film returns while the rest was to be divided in quarters between Joff, Berger, Jack, and myself. Richard had promised Cofforth a slice of the picture money, however, for laying down in bidding for the fight, as Cofforth later told me, and this slice they wanted to take out of my share. I kicked and left the camp They tried to get me back, but I wouldn't go "Then at the ringside I tried to lay back some of the money I had on Johnson, for I didn't like the way things looked To start with, in New York. Berger had come to me with a proposition to divide everything 65 and 45, win, lose, or draw, the long end to go to Jeff, but this I refused stating that if any such division was made it should be half and half We couldn't agree, and the division was made 75 and 25 IN JOHNSON'S FAVOR HERE. "But although Johnson never openly approached me with an offer to throw the fight, he acted quoely in lots of ways in this connection while I was still with him. He has had battles since I have been around, has been quoor, and naturally I got rather dubious, for I was afraid of him. "I settled with them as I did simply because the whole bunch were fixing it up to sign new whiles of agreement and make new fight in an offer, and out of my share, my contract was still good, and even if they had done this I could have stopped the pictures. Johnson still owes me about $2,000, which I have advanced him, as he was always broke, and I am going to collect it. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. CHAMPION OF THE WORLD $150,000.00 PURSE BURNS JEFF "THE BLACK HER@ULES." anybody. And he did some pretty rotten things. I have contracts in my possession for everything that happened, showing that I was even forced to sign a statement that the fight was on the level, and I also have papers to show that not a person in Johnson's entire camp was receiving a penny for his services besides Cotton and myself. "I was to get 25 per cent. of all his earnings for the next six months and this is how I come out of it." SAY8 THEY REHEARSED FAKES. Then it was that Little went into the details of Johnson's alleged fake fights. According to his story, the Kotchol battle was a roheared affair for the benefit of the moving pictures. Johnson was to fall at a certain stage and folgen distress, but he was to be mighty careful just where he landed on the mat so that he would not be distressed. Then he was to come back gradually until he knocked Kotchol out in the end. This was arranged by Jim Coffroth, Willus Britt, and Johnson, and Ketchel was not brought into the arrangement until Johnson had practiced his fake fall. Then it was that Ketchel was coached in his part. The Fighters repaired to Britt's home, where the fake was gone thoroughly over. There it was that Ketchel averred that he could not perform his part of it in a satisfactory manner, and he declared that to make it real Johnson would have to knock him out. Johnson did, but in doing so struck so heavy a blow he knocked four of Ketchel's teeth out. In the Kaufgren battle Johnson agreed to let Kaufman stay the limit ten rounds, in consideration of 45 per cent. of the gate receipts. Kaufman got 25 per cent. of the gate while Coffroth held 30 per cent of the money. It was all cut and dried before they started. When Johnson got going too fast for Kaufman the latter would put him on the back in a clench and the nugro would let up. Little has received $30,500 from Johnson to date, that being his 25 per cent. of Johnson's portion or the purse had he lost and Little's share of Johnson's third of the moving picture money. There is certain to be a long court struggle between the negro champion and his former manager $150,000.9 PURSE All rights reserved — Am. Syn. "THE JOHNSON NAMES TERMS FOR FIGHT WITH SAM LANGFORD Will Meet Him in Private for a $20,000 Side Bet, or If He Will Go and Beat Jeanette in Finish Bout—'Traison Jeff New York July 13 Will I fight Langford? Say will I ever pass up a fine spring brother" That was Jack Johnson's answer and query and his golden smile threw a glow over his apartments at "Baron Wilkins" liquid emporium as he sat in his library to be interviewed. "Now this Langford matter has about reached a point where it's up to me to call Samuel's bluff. Here's what I am prepared to do. I will fight Langford, provided he will wager the $20,000 he claims he has for a side bet. I am going to bring him out of that dream, for the never saw that kind of money and what's more, you know it's a fortune when it comes to placing it up in real coin I will have to be shown. Now, Sam I understand within a few days. Let him put up that money and we will go in some side room, collar, or out in a lot and fight it out. There need be no purse and all the trouble about training and the great expense that it incurs. I will take a night off from the show and fight him and let the winner take the $40,000. "Samuel is after a fat and julery purge, but why fool the public into paying out its good money for me to fight a man that I can almost name the round I can whip him his" Let's have it out in private, and that will settle it for all time. "There is one chance of Samuel getting away without putting up that kind of coin. He can't lick me and not bet, and now here's another proposition: If he will agree to meet Joe Jeanbette in a finish contest, I will back Jeanette, and perhaps if he can boat Jeanette he will not have to make that bet with me. CANNOT WHIP JEANNETTE. What right has he to claim a chance at the title when he cannot whip Jeanette? Joe is twice as tough as Langford, and Sam knows it as well as I do, and you can take it from me that he will pass up Jeanette just as he will pass me upon my proposition to fight him in private for $20,000 a side. I made him a proposition before to fight Jeanette, and he passed it up, and will he wants to fight me for the title." With those romarks out of his system about Langford and to the great surprise of all for the high opinion he has of Jeanette and the compliment he paid the local heavy weights Johnson turned to other things. "I am delighted with the treatment I received since my fight with Jeffries. I have been welcomed on all sides and why, even in Reno I met the governor personally and he said many things to me, and I was quartered at a hotel that never before held a colored man. "Now all this trouble and talk about race prejudice is bosh. Would be no trouble over the fight pictures or the result of the fight if the youngsters were watched when ever the films are shown it's the boys that range from 12 to 14 years that cause all the trouble. It's not the grown folks but the wild boys who think they are doing something by starting rows with colored folk. The men that I have met since the fight have treated me fine and even the stanchest supporters of Jeffries have welcomed me, for the all say I fought a good clean fight and won entirely on my merits. JOHNSON LAUDS JEFFRIES "Now' continued Johnson 'there is another thing that hurts me, and it's the unjust way that some of the papers have treated Jeffries. It's a crying shame to try and intimate that he quit. A gamer man never drew on a boxing glove, and I have the highest respect for Jeffries, but can't say the same for some of his supposed friends Jeff was worried stick, and his supposed friends are to blame for it all Just recall that when I returned here with the title of world's champion that the whole country raised a hue and cry for Jeffries to return to the ring and fight me.

Why not give him the credit that's his due? Does the country malign a man who fights for it if he goes down to defeat gallantly? No. Then why attack Mr. Jeffries? He is a one man, and I hope he will not hold any hard foes against me, for I want to be his best friend, and I stand ready to do anything that I can for him. "What are my plans? Well, that a hard to say. I will continue in vaudeville for the present for I have some great offers and I believe that I am entitled to the fruits of my victory over the greatest fighter that ever lived. That's a one reason why I don't want to fight, for I can earn more by working on the stage, but I will lay off for one night to oblige Langford if he has that $20,000 and passes up Joe Jaceness, I expect he will With Shotgun After Johnson.

WAY TO SET TABLE WAY TO SET TABLE BIMPLE DECORATIONS THAT WILL MAKE IT LOOK ATTRACTIVE. Present Day Table Etiquette in the Pacing of Silver Explained— The Hostess Now Serves Herself First. To make a dinner table look attractive attention must be given to the decoration. For example in the middle die of the table there should be a pot of flowers or cut blossoms, and radiating from the center at four corners there should be cannellets, glass or silver. About the center may be laid any large fancy silver spoons as ornaments, and four small dishes, glass or silver. In one dish there should be jelly, in two others candies and salted nuts, and pickles in the fourth. One of these dishes should be placed between two cannellets only farther from the middle. These are left throughout the meal except that the jelly and pickles are removed when the crumbs are wiped from the cloth, that is before dessert is served. No more than three forks are put at one place nowadays, others being brought in afterward if it extra courses require them. A fork and spoon are used with dessert and plates for each person are arranged before being brought from the pantry. A small dolly is put on each dessert plate and on that is the finger bowl, also in a little plate. The latter should match the bowl. A second dolly should be placed between the bowl and its plate. A fork and spoon should be placed on each dessert plate the silver resting on the margin. The fork should be on the left and the spoon on the right side the handles pointing toward the person who will use them. When this plate is set on the table the gourmet removes the fork and spoon putting one either side of the plate. She then takes the bigger bowl its plate and the dollies under and placed them a little to the left front of the dessert plate which is then left ready for the sweet when the malt brings it. When that comes in, she lifts the BURNS JEFF ILES." mold takes up the food and gets put the finger bowl plates in their proper places before each guest. This serving of dessert plates is the most complicated part of a dinner for an inexperienced mail. Candles are not passed about the table till the finger bowl plates are in front of each guest after dessert. The guest raises the bowl puts it a little in front, then leaving the plate empty for the candles. If coffee is served at the table it is brought while the candles are being eaten. A serving plate is used at each plate which means that the malt when she removes a plate good has a clean empty one in her right hand which she immediately slips into place. When plates for the next course are brought the empty one is taken up in this way places before persons at the table are never without a plate. There is a fad at present for all dishes brought from the pantry to be handed first to the baskets to serve herself instead of to the guest of honor. In these days of complicated and elaborate dishes it is frequently tactful to follow this fashion that others may see how the dish is served. Carving should be done in the pantry and neither meat nor vegetable dishes put on the table. A good menu for a formal dinner consists of a hors d'oeuvre of sardine paste on toast, clam cocktails soup, fish an entree poultry with two light vegetables a salad ice candies and coffee.

As usual, the great epoch the new work began in prayer - showing its importance His object seems to have been to draw out the faith of his disciples and to reveal to them more fully his nature and his redeeming work 'Whom do men say that I the Son of man am' 14 "Some say John the Baptist returned to life Among these was Jacob (Matt 14 1, 2) "Some, Ellas" (Greek form of Elijah), who was the expected forerunner of the Messiah (Mal 14 1, Matt 11 14) Or "Jeremiah" (Greek of Jeremiah, a representative of the prophets, being the first name in the Jewish canon "Or one of the prophets," i.e. "that one of the old prophets is risen again" (Luke 9 19) 15 "But we say ye that I am" Observe ye natural, and by position in the Greek exceedingly emphatic 16 And son Peter" The somewhat impatient "nature of Peter made possible to him quick insight, new visions of truth "Thou art the Christ" The Messiah for whom the Jews were looking, for whom the ages had been preparing "The Son of the Living God," such a one as a one can be the Savior of the world.

Although the understanding of the Messiah and his kingdom was very important yet Jesus showed the new great was the trust committed to them and how heavy the responsibilities hold upon them. This was a part of their training. It would give them a deep interest in the subject and lead to a more earnest search after the truth. 19.1 will give unto them as the representative of all.

To present Jesus as the Messiah would have done to try to make him a worldly king according to their ideas of the Messiah and repel those who saw that it was impossible for Jesus to do what they wanted their Messiah to do. The New Revelation as to How the Christ, the Messiah, Must Accomplish His Work—Vs 212² Jesus now began to tell his disciples what he must do in order to be the Messiah. He must suffer and die for the sins of the world. There is no other way. 23 Jesus "said unto Peter, Publicly before them all" "Get thee behind me Satan" "Batau means" "adversary," the great "enemy" of all good, used in the Savior's time as a proper name.

Cultivations are not usually bothered much by insects. The maize crop of Argentine has almost trebled in the past 15 years. Spring and early summer cultivation, where it does not disturb plant roots, should be fairly deep. Cultivate with a cultivator having small teeth close together as so as to break up the soil into fine particles. Weeds not only take moisture from the soil, but they extract plant food which should be used for the growing crop. Asparagus takes the place of new peas in taste and is a sovereign remedy for latent kidney troubles of every kind. Soy beans will grow on all kinds of soil, rich or poor clay black or sand, limestone or frozen dry soils or well-drained soils. In a village garden the owners must often put up with the inconvenience of growing berries and vegetables on the same little plot When spits attack garden plants use tobacco water or kerosene emulsion just as soon as the insects appear.

Most of the terrapins are exported from Missouri are products of Dunkin- Pomfet and New Madrid counties. There is a great area of swamp) land in these countries and here the terrapins grow and multiply very rapidly. They always meet with ready sales on the market and bring fancy prices in New York, Boston and other large eastern cities. Many claim that when Missouri terrapin is properly prepared he is as delicious as the salt water variety.

GOOD LESSONS IN PLOWING Some Sound Practical Pointers That Will Give Carriers Time- Time to Fetch Each Child (4) 1. 0. 9TEIN Have the field tree on all sides that is it may be longer one way than the other, but one's side should be straight so if you blow straight when you start you will have the dead for rows even and no wedges at the end. There will also be no odd shaped pieces in the center to make a lot of extra tuning. The crooked way is used by many who start a tigress any old place on one end of the field and drive to the other end without a quick to go by. A little crook with people of this kind does not seem to be of much importance but crooked furrows always take extra time and are a nuisance in general. Another thing which saves much time particularly in harvest is a space which should be left between the fence and the field unplowed. This should be about 16 feet wide, and should be sown to grass. This strip will save going through the graein with a binder, and back and it also saves the hired man a lot of extra work in shocking, as he can start as soon as he tepper does and will not have to wait until a swath is cut in which to place the shock Hard Luck The Lady- Why don't you go to work and earn an honest living in steed of bragging?

The foundation for croquettes is a thick cream sauce in the proportion of two oven tablespoonfuls butter, four heaping tablespoonfuls flour, or two heaping tablespoonfuls cornstarch, one pint rich milk or thin cream, a half-steamboil each salt and calery salt and pepper or cayenne to season. Scall the milk, melt the butter, add the flour or cornstarch and stir until "bubbly." Add part of the hot milk and keep stirring as it boils and thickens. Add more milk until all has been used. Then add the seasoning and mix the sauce while hot with the chopped meat, fowl or fish, allowing from one cupful to two, according to the kind and the amount you have on hand. If desired, one beaten egg may be added just as the mixture is taken from the fire. Spread on a shallow plate to cool. Shape into rolls, or pear-shaped ovals, roll lightly in fine bread crumbs, dip in beaten egg mkd with a tablo-spoonful of milk, then in crumbs, and fry in smoking hot fat. If you have not enough of any can kind of meat, you can make combinations, according to the contents of the ice box. Mushrooms, boiled rice, veal or pork can be mixed with chicken. Sweetbreads and oysters can be combined, also sweetbreads, boiled rice and mushrooms, fish and rice, ham and macaroni. EMMA PADDOCK TELFORD A TASTY HOME-MADE ICE Simple Way of Preparing Them That Will Please the Little The hostess who does not feel she can afford individual ice for her children's party will delight them by buying the tiny red flower pots in which seedlings are grown. These are carefully scrubbed or lined with paraffin paper and filled with ice cream to represent soil. Use either chocolate or coffee flavors or vanilla sprinkled over the top layer with cinnamon or macaroons finely grated. The decoration of the pots can be varied, one or two short-stemmed flower in color to match decoration, a twig of a flowering bush as doubles or mock orange, or sprigs of box or myrtle. Wrap the stems in paraffin paper before insertion in the fec cream. The pots can be stood on lace dolls on bread and butter plate. This can be festooned with vines or with a wreath of flowers like those in pot. Carving Meat. To successfully carve meat one must know how to control the knife. When carving a slice of meat, after the first incision has been made the angle at which the knife is held must never be altered, or a jagged slice will be the result. The cut should be direct sharp and inclusive. The sawlike motion should not enter into the operation. As a rule, the knife should be held firmly but applied lightly, so that too much juice will not be squeezed out from the meat. By using the point of the knife lightly as a wedge and the fork as a lever even a big fowl may be easily jointed provided the carver is aware of how the joint is exactly situated and held together. Economical Omelet To the well beaten yolks of three eggs and one half cupful of milk, one cupful of bread crumbs, which have been well softened in the milk, and one fourth teaspoonful of salt, mix thoroughly, then fold in the whites of the eggs beaten to a stiff froth. Turn at once into a well heated frying pan in which is a tablespoonful of hot butter. Cook slowly until set and nicely browned. Its lightness is better retained by cutting in sections and turning each part separately. Strawberry Cheese Line little patty pans with puff paste and fill with uncooked rice, bake in a hot oven cook in a double boiler until the mixture thickens the yolks of three eggs, the grated rind and juice of half a lemon, one cupful of butter; remove from the fire, and when partially cooled stir in one cupful of crushed strawberries, when cool, fill into the pastry shells and cover with a soft boiled ice. These are dollicious, but must be eaten fresh Corn Muffins Sift together a pint and a half of flour, one cupful of cornmeal, three tenapoonfuls of baking powder, one teaspoonful of baking powder, one teaspoonful of sugar. Add two table-spoonfuls of butter or lard, heated to soften (the lard makes more tender gems); one pint of milk, and two beaten eggs. Have muffin tins hot and well greased and fill with the batter. Bake in a hot oven. Preserving Hint. To keep small fruit, such as strawberries, from rising to the top after canning, and thus becoming tasteless, turn the canns three times a week till the fruit is saturated with the stirrup and will remain in the bottom of the can.

The common opinion is that real heroes are, something unusual and rare. When a woman saves a human being from drowning at the risk of her own life she is lauded as a heroe, and societies give her medals by way of distinguisher her from the rest of womankind that what she did wasn't really as brave as what their sands of her sisters are doing every day. The true heroine is she who wears clothes as they are ordained by the little girl goddess of fashion. The woman of fashion, or she who napres to be a woman of fashion, going forth in her tight corsets, her enormous hat which wont allow her to lean back comfortably in a car or closed cartriage her high heels that are always catching in something or, skirts which make it impossible for her to take a normal step, silly lit the wrist bag that must be clutched constantly or it will get lost and a head weight down with false hair under her airship hat this woman is truly brave. She wears all that toggerery, in which she must be exceedingly uncomfortable, and she wears it so placially so sinfully that man thinks but what does man think when he beholds a fashionably dressed woman? Perhaps he doesn't know that her clothes are uncomfortable, for he has never worn them, and no woman would ever confess to him who she feels in them. She is braver than the martyrms of old for the martyrms recanted sometimes and what woman ever wavered in her smile in the ballroom, no matter how her dress was hurting her. If women accomplish great things in the future it will be because of their careful training in discomfort.—Chicago Tribune NEEDLEWORK NOTES. A pretty lamp shade is of cretonne, made over a wire frame and trimmed with bead fringe. This wide use of cretonne is not the least attractive decoration of the summer house, since the lightness and brightness of the coloring cannot fail to give a cool, summery effect. Dainty embroidered linen, having a chamois bag in one side, where jowels are to be kept, and a bag of sachet in the other side, and filled through the center like a how with a dainty piece of ribbon, makes quite a novel gift. It can be worn inside the waist or placed in one's kerchief box. The stems of party flowers will not injure the delicate party frock if they be incased in a little tubalike cover, made for the purpose, of oil silk. Those covers have been made of chamois, but that is not impervious to water, and the tinfold in which stems usually are wrapped will itself make a discoloration on the gown. "Drat Punker's nerve!"

Copyright in Canada and Great Britain. All rights reserved.] CHAPTER XXIV. MY RETINEMENT AND HOME LIFE AND THE MATCH WITH JOHNSON. SETTLED down now to a quiet family life—no more stage work, no more fighting. I believed that I never put on a fighting glove again. I bought a fine ranch of 145 acres near Los Angeles, with a country house on it, and became a farmer again. For two years I worked hard on my ranch, clearing away the brush and then putting a hundred acres in alfalfa; which grows eight crops a year in my country. I did the heavy work myself, and I never enjoyed life more than down on the ranch. I was tired of fuss and publicity. Here I was just a farmer again, and it was great. From time to time, of course, I went to see a good flight somewhere or other or took a good hunting trip to the mountains or went fishing at Catalina, where we have the best fishing in the world. I was as healthy as a man could be. It used to make me lamb when some one sent me the papers and I read stories of my "disciplined life." Why, no man since Noah's time ever lived a cleaner life than I did, up early and to bed early after a hard day's work. After two years on the ranch I built a fine town house, with everything in it that one could want and everything the best I could buy. I won't say what it cost, but it's insured for $15,600, so it's something of a house. In the same year I bought a tract of land near the town, cut it up into lots and sold again with a profit of $20,000. A friend of mine and myself cleared $25,000 on another tract, so I didn't need to fight to earn money. In the next year I went into partnership with another friend, and we got one of the 200 bar licenses in Los Angeles and built the finest cafe west of New York. That was a big money maker too. Fitting it up cost over $50,000. I moved into town now to my big house and attended to the cafe. Because I was there so much of the time the old stories about my drinking broke out again I never did drink to any extent. My limit was usually a glass of water with about a spoonful of clair in it, and only a few of those. When not hunting or working I mitted up with the fighting game a little often referencing important fights. One of these was the Hart Root fight up in Nevada. The promoters asked me to officially "present" the heavyweight title to the winner I refused. Nobody can give away championships. But they told everybody I had "given" the title to Hart after he stopped Root, and I didn't take the trouble to deny it. While I was in retirement Hill Squires came over from Australia. Billy Delaney went to work and signed for a fight with Squires. But I hadn't given him the right to represent me, and I refused the match. That broke up my old association with Delaney. One disagreeable thing happened about this time. My reputation has always been clean in ring affairs, and if any cooked work has ever been planned in connection with any of my fights I've never known about it. In fact, I don't think any ever was planned, for people have known that I'd go out to win and win would. But while I was at home in Los Angeles a certain heavyweight, who shortly after ward became notorious through the exposure of his trickery, came to my house to see me. He talked a little while and bent about the bush, and then he said: "I have just been over in Nevada. One of the promoters over there put up a proposition to que that sounded like a lot of money. He said that he'd give a purse of $30,000 for a fight between gun and me, then he'd put $50,000 in the bank with the purse, and you could have the whole $50,000." Here he stopped and looked at me quietly for a moment. "Of course," he went on. "the promoter would have to make his money out of the match some way besides at the gate, and; if I hate to make them, if you got the whole nurses and all that money too. We'd have to make it out of the betting. If you won we couldn't make anything betting, you understand." "Go on," I said quietly. "Well," he said,idgeting around a little, "you see. If he put up all that money for you he'd expect me to win. You'd have to lie down." "Get out of my house!" I said. The faker got up and began to explain. "Oh, I knew you wouldn't listen to anything like that!" he said. "I was just telling you about it to show how far some people will go." "Get out of my house," I said again, "and get out quick!" He got out, and he left town. I'm glad he did. I'm one of the slowest men in the world to rouse and naturally one of the most peaceful, but when I once start I go the limit. I'm glad I didn't meet that fellow within the next few weeks. I was smoldering like a volcano. Jack Johnson, the black fighter, and been trying to get a match with me ever since I left the ring. The big negro kept on challenging me. In the meantime Tommy Burns, a good fighter for a little fellow, cleaned up the heavyweights in America, went to England, Ireland, France and Australia and carried the heavyweight title by defeating the boat in all those countries. Johnson followed him to Australia, and they fought. Burns was game and aggressive, but the handleup in size and weight were too much for him. In the fourteenth round the police stopped the bout, and Johnson was given the decision by Hugh McIntosh, the referee. Johnson came right back to this country. In a little while the whole world was calling for me to come out and defend the supremacy of the white race. Johnson outfought Al Kaufman in too rounds, although there was no decision, and knocked out Stanley Ketchel, the game little middleweight champion, in twelve. Witzmanns, Corbett, Sharkey, Ruhlin-all the old timers who could fight-had passed by Everywhere my friends were begging me to come out and fight again. They seemed to think I was the only man who could stop the big and clever negro. As for myself, there was no reason for my fighting again. I had a good home, many friends, a good business everything a man could want. And I had been out of the ring for over five years. Hilly Delaney and told me, I remembered, that no champion could stay out of the ring more than two years and come back at his best. I know that I was in no condition to fight now. I had taken on weight and had lost the old ambition that a champion must have. But the pressure became too great. I announced that I'd work and when I knew I could be the old Jim Jeffries again I'd fight and if I couldn't I wouldn't fight for love or money. So I went out on a long trip with an athletic show. All through the eastern states the people kept calling to me. Often I was tempted to say I fight Johnson, condition or no condition. And when at last I began to get into shapo and feel the old fight- A man is walking on a path in a park. He is wearing a hat and a jacket. The path is surrounded by trees and grass.

I put $5,000 in the hands of Bob Edgren, sporting editor of the New York Evening World, my old friend in the Carson training camp, as a forfeit for the match. Then I went to Germany with my wife for a little vacation. There I took long runs over the quiet country roads to the intense amusement of the natives and got into better shape still. Upon returning to America I signed articles with Johnson. I'll give the negro credit for one thing—he didn't blister now, but came right down to business. Promoters came or sent in their bids from all over the world. No such sums were ever offered for a fight before. The winning bid, a purchase of $101,000 and control of the moving picture arrangements offered by Tex Rickard and Jack Glenson was a world's record. Under Sam Burgers business management I started out with a big aillet show and toured the country, making a new fortune from that alone. And everywhere I trained hard. The fight was a sure thing now. Three months before the date fixed, which was the 4th July, 1010, just lacking a month of six years after my fight with Jack Munroe. I went into hard training in a mountain camp at Rowardennan, in Santa Cruz county, Cal. The fight is before me now. I feel that I will be fit to defend the title I won years ago from Bob Fitzsimmons. I know Johnson is a good man, and I expect to have a hard fight on my hands. Perhaps this time I'll even have to draw on that reserve force that I have never needed yet. And if I do I know that it will be there. "Tocs Blae meet his obligations!" "Frequently?" answered. Miss Cayenne. "But he almost invariably snubs them."-Washington Blair. THE RICHMOND PLANET.

We Congratulate Our Readers on the Opportunity to Read This Absorbing Narrative CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER DIES Passes Away at His Summer Home In Maine. HUGHES MAY - SUCGEED HIM Noted Jurist Was Stricken With Heart Disease—Served as Chief Justice of United States Supreme Court For Twenty two Years. Melville Weston Fuller chief Justice of the supreme court of the United States died at his summer home, Main Stay at Sorcinto near Bar Harbor. Mr. Fuller was due to a sudden attack of heart disease. His daughter Mrs. Nathaniel Francis, and a guest Rev. James E. Freeman, were with him. The death of the chief justice was entirely unexplained as he had been in apparently good health lately, and there had been no premontory symptoms of trouble. Though there have been reports that ill health would force Mr Fuller's retirement from the bench during the last seven years he was believed to be in the best of health when he left Washington for his summer vacation. On his seventy-seventh birthday, Feb 12 last, he announced that, he had never felt stronger in his life and that he had no intention of retiring. It is believed by many that Governor Charles E. Hughes, of New York, will become chief justice of the United States supreme court when that body reconvene this fall. Mr Hughes was appointed a member by President Taft several months ago, but did not take his seat. Chief Justice Fuller was one of the picturequeen members of the supreme bench. He was born in Augusta, he in 1833, but had always been identified with Illinois, because after his graduation from Bowdoin college at the age of twenty years, and admir ston to the bar in 1856 he took up his residence in that state and for thirty two years was one of the most prominent lawyers of that state. Before leaving his native city his talents had been recognized and he was made city attorney and president of the commission counsel and was also one of the states of the Age the leading Democratic paper. These positions he required to take up life in the west. In 1862 he was named as a member of the Illinois constitutional convention and the following year was elected to the legislature. Prior to his appointment and as justice he was seen at all the state and national contitions of his party and his counsel was widely sought by Democratic leaders. President Thomas offered him at different times the positions of solicitor for general service commissioner and member of the commission on Pacific railways, but all of these he declined. At length how water on the death of Chief Justice Way in 1887, the president offered him the vacant position and he accepted it. From a financial standpoint he made a great sacrifice. At this time he was one of the foremost lawyers at the western bar having argued during the two decades previous more cases before the United States supreme court than any other lawyer in the west. His income was something like $7,500 in year. His salary as chief justice was only $10,500. Chief Justice Fuller held third rank for length of service as presiding justice in the highest American tribunal. For twenty two years he was chief justice. Chief Justice Marshall preided for thirty-four years and Chief Justice Taney for twenty-eight years. The chief justice was expected to retire in 1906, but declined to do so, and his action doubtless had much to do with the election of Taft to the presidency. Roosevelt desired to make Taft chief justice. Fuller stood in the way He held his job and Taft went to the White House. His first wife, Mrs. Mary E. Follor, died while seated on the porch of the Sorrento home where the chief justice expired, in August, 1904. --- Which one may have the Port With Noon?

Twenty-four from behind the fire companies were carried by the heat and smoke while fighting the flames after the boat was needed to the pier Although the fire was discovered at midnight only a few persons in this city now of it until the vesel was back at Spine street After every passenger was off the ship Capain Briggs ordered an alarm sounded and firemen extinguished the blaze The Grecian left the Spruce street wharf for Boston All was well then. It is believed that the fire started from spontaneous combustion among cotton wood in the hall but the exact origin has not been determined. The weather was so delightful that a number of the passengers sat up on the deck in order to see the lights of Atlantic City as the Grecian passed along the coast. Most of the women and children had retired to their staterooms before midnight, and when the fire was discovered the Grecian was just rounding Cape May point. It was then a few minutes after 12 o'clock. The man on watch smelled smoke. He traced it to the hold and saw that the cargo in hatch No. 1, in the forward hold of the ship, was burning. The lookout hastened to Captain Briggs. Before the captain started to learn the extent of the blaze he sounded the call for every man in the crew to go to his post. Then he summoned H. Valentine, the steward, and the stewardess, and told them to go from stateroom to stateroom and awaken every passenger. He also ordered the crow to man the boats. While the passengers were being around all the boats were ready to be lowered. The eight passengers assembled on the decks or were in the sailoons. Captain Briga had to tell them that there was a fire below the decks, but he added: "Know I assure you that there is not the slightest danger. The hatchens are all hallowed down, water is being ploured through the emergency hote and even if we are afloat for several days the fire cannot get out of the hatches."

OPPOSED TO BALLINGER It Is Believed the Ballinger-Pinchot Controversy May Cause Break Between the President and Ex President. If Colonel Roosevelt is going to fall in line and indorse the administration, as a good many political sharps think he will do, he is employing a novel method of making his attitude known. The colonel announced that several of the most rabid tuskerng leaders in the country are coming to Sagamore Hill on Thursday. The conference gives every indication of being the most important gathering that Mr. Roosevelt has participated in since he got back from the other side with the possible exception of the meeting with President Taft at Beverly last week which apparently was not as satisfactory to the colonel as the Beverly dispatches would have it. It has been stated frequently in the Oyster Bay dispatches that the ex-president is cautiously feeling his way before he lets the public in on how he feels toward the administration. It has been remarked also, that the Ballinger Pinchot controversy is the rock upon which Colonel Roosevelt and President Taft are likely to split. For the first time the colonel defined clearly his opposition to Secretary Ballinger by telling Representative Miles E. Pointe that he will in dorsie his candidacy in the fight for the United States senator against Senator Piles of Washington Piles is identified with the Ballinger wing of the Republican party in the state of Washington. Pointe is an out and out supporter of Pinchot and a militant in congress. The possibilities that Mr. R. will support the administration in the time that he becomes a national leader about it. He himself has been involved in one of his political activities to Saxamore Hill. He wants to be the assistant side of the story and then perhaps be the main one of the registers to help and explain the stand. He has been bringing his advice to the college he is working at the New York state office and he because he has a pretty choice.

The report that Mr. Newell is to go is based upon the reported fact that he and the secretary of the Interior do not agree. The secretary of the interior looked confident, stepped with a spring and laughed at the rumors that he had come to resign. 'I haven't brought any resignation with me,' said the secretary, 'and I don't intend to leave any when I go away. I am not a quitter. I have gone into this thing and I intend to fight it out.'
