THE RICHMOND PLANET A LAY SERMON By Evangeline. Subject: "Nature an Open Book of Revelation." No man whom God has blessed with common sense and the faculty of thought can fall to see God revealed in all the various phases of His creation. His existence, His power, beneficence and mercy are as plainly and forcibly declared as it is possible for any language to portray. The Bible is a blessed and most wonderful book, but if there were no Bible we could not fail to detect the revelation of God in the face of nature. King David, reared amid the sublimest scenes of nature and a student of the same, a lover of God and defender of His word, in one of his loftiest flights of poetry exclaims, "The heavens declare the glory of God; and firmament showeth His handywork! Day unto day utterteth his handywork! Day unto day night showeth knowledge." On any clear night, in the absence of the moon, go with me into the open field, cast up your eyes to heaven, behold the wonders of creation; and if you are a candid man or woman, see if you can refrain from breaking forth into praise and adoration of that great power who was not only the author of the surpassing glory revealed to your senses, but of your own existence and ability to perceive and appreciate such revelation. The existence of God, His interest in and care for all the works of His creation are plainly shown by the adaptability of everything perceptible. Everything fits; nothing is amiss or out of place; nothing useless. Air is necessary to our existence. It is superabundant in every part and crevice of the earth. Water is as necessary to us as air: there are three times as much water as land on the earth. Food and raiment are also necessary: they or the material out of which they may be produced are as abundant as air and water, for air, earth and water, teem with food or food material. As to the existence and power of God, the visible part of His creation declares them. His providence declares His goodness and His mercy is unmistakably shown by our restoration to health after having suffered as a result of violating some of the laws of nature. St. Paul makes frequent reference to the visible creation of God as an index to the invisible. In Romans, 1:20; says "For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and God-bear." And even our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, in His reference to the lillies of the field, God's care for the sparrow and the forecasting of the weather of the next day by scanning the aspect of the setting sun of the present day show clearly that we should take the visible things of God as indicative of the invisible. Many of the great poets and philosophers, both ancient and modern worshipped nature, but they came short of the glory of God because they failed to see and worship nature's God through nature. They became so dazed by the beauty, grandeur and sublimity of nature that they could not see beyond one more beautiful and sublimie than nature itself, and so they fell down and worshipped nature itself. Let us beware that we be not guilty of the same short coming. When we behold the visible heavens—the sun, moon and stars, and are fascinated by their grandeur, let us, with King David exclaim "The heavens declare the glory of God, ect," but do not let us fall down and worship them. And if we be tempted to say God dwells beyond that starry arch; that He is so far away that He cannot hear and see us; let us listen at the voice of St. Paul as he stands on Mar's Hill and declares that "In Him we live, and move, and have our being." No matter how vast the expense which we may conceive, remember that God is not contained in the space; but that the space is contained in God: that God is not contained in heaven; but heaven is contained in God. If we stand on the seashore and are appalled by the vastness of the ocean, let us not fear that it may leap its bounds and overwhelm the dwellers on the land, and therefore fall down and worship it. But rather let us hear the voice of God in his challenge of Job when He said: "Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further, and here shall thy proud waves be stayed." None of us are excusable. For after all, the most simple as well as the most intricate subject for nature study is constantly with us in the person or our own bodies, to say nothing of our soul. Who can comprehend his body? We may study it a life time and die ignorant of a real comprehension of one-half of it. King David studied it and declared "I am fearfully and wonderfully made." Everything in nature testifies constantly of the presence of God, for We see Him in each sunbeam, And hear Him in the rain, We see Him in the lilac Which adorns the shady lane. We hear Him in the rivulet, As on it gently flows, We see Him in the jessamine, And in the fragrant rose. We hear Him in the mighty sea As savagely it roars, And also in the lark's gay note As skywardly it soars. We see Him in each sea shell, In every grain of sand, We see Him, aye, in everything, In water air or land. National Religious Training School 6and Chantaqua Meets. Durham, N. C., July 16.—The National Religious Training School and Chautauqua, of which Dr. James E. Sheppard is the president and founder, appears to be more of a success than its promoters hoped for. The close of the second week finds the enrollment in all departments approaching 100, made up of teachers, ministers and people from other walks of life among the Negroes. Instruction is being given in normal and primary methods, history, geography, grammar, pedagogy, domestic science, dressmaking and millinery, basketry and vocal music. Rev. Jesse Hurburt, of Newark, N. J., has just completed a series of lectures on bible instruction, and is now being followed by Rev. Dr. W. Y. Chapman, pastor of the celebrated Roseville Presbyterian Church, Newark, N. J. Miss Grace Hemingway, the well-known child story teller, has entertained the chautauquans during the past week on the art of story telling, illustrating its value in the training of children. For the next week, such attractions as Samuel J. McClacken one of the best chautauqua lecturers the South has produced, Hon. N. B. Broughton, the Sunday-school worker, Bishop G. W. Clinton, and W. E. D.Buolis are to appear. Prof. C. G. O'Kelly, principal of the Slater Normal and Industrial Institute has resigned that position to become vicepresident of this institution. Dr. Shepard is being congratulated on all sides on the wonderful showing made, in the character of the lectures and other features and in the neat and commodious buildings that have been erected.

Last Sunday was a glorious day at the Union Baptist Church, Beaver Dam, Va., of which Dr. C. H. Phillips, D. D. is pastor. The occasion was the twenty-six anniversary of the pastor. It was an enjoyable day with the church and pastor. Crowds of people were seen coming from all parts of the country and cities. Promptly at 11:30, the excellent choir led by Mr. William Meredith and Organist Miss Luberta Walker, of Richmond, pealed forth excellent strains of sweet music. Dr. C. H. Phillips introduced Rev. R. W. Young of Caroline County who preached a most acceptable sermon. Subject, "Great things are said of three, Oh, City of God." The church was well pleased with the sermon. Dr. Phillips thereafter introduced Prof. B. H. Peyton of Richmond, Va. and Deacon W. H. Watson of the Second Baptist Church, Richmond, Va., who took charge of money affairs and lifted the collection for the occasion. In the afternoon Dr. Phillips spoke of his twenty-six years work with the church and paid a glowing tribute to the loyal support of his members. All the members and friends of the church warmly congratulated him on his excellent work. Collections for the day amounted to $161.60.

Is the Church Simply a Money Machine? THE HARRISON STREET BAPTIST CHURCH Rev. Eli Tartte May Preach, But Is Not Pastor—A Decision That Does Not Decide—Another Church Meeting to be Held—An Endless Trouble. The case of Avery vs. Tartte, involving the control of the Harrison Street Baptist Church, colored, which has been on trial before Judge J. F. West, of the Third Circuit, for the past seven days, was disposed of tonight. Immediately upon conclusion of the argument Judge West deliverer his opinion in the case. He held as follows: 1. That the written constitution of the church is still in full force and effect and binding upon all its members. 2. That the action of the Tartte followers in undertaking to expel the anti-Tartte members from the church and the action of the anti-Tartte faction is undertaking to expel the Tartte followers from membership in the church were void and did not in any way effect the standing of the parties as church members. 3. That the church conference presided over by Rev. W. C. Taylor January 11, 1909, at which Rev. Eli Tartte was elected a member of the church and its pastor, was not held in accordance with the provisions of the constitution, rules and regulations of the church, nor in accordance with the terms of the agreement entered into by the opposing factions for holding said conference, and that all actions of said conference are null and void. 4. That Rev. Eli Tartte is not a member of said church, nor is he the pastor of the same; and said Tartte is enjoined and restrained from exercising the authority of such pastor, but this does not prevent him from serving as pulpit supply as he was doing prior to his election as pastor January 11, 1909. 5. The case is referred to a commissioner of the court, who is required to ascertain and report to the court a true and correct roll of the membership of said church, and who is directed to hold a regular business meeting of the church, using the roll prepared by him for the election of trustees and officers of the church, the time for holding said meeting to be fixed by the court. The decree in the case will be entered to-morrow, and the commissioner to be appointed is to be satisfactory to both factions.

An Appeal to the Generous Public and All Lovers of the Cause of Christ Key West, Flz., July, 1910. The Editor of The Richmond Planet: On October 11th, 1909, our city was visited by the most destructive hurricane in its history; at which time our Newman Metodist Episcopal Church was entirely destroyed, entailing a loss or at least $2000. Our membership is poor and not very large, and we have ascertained that because of the high price of labor and material, we cannot rebuild for less than $6,000. Our church, a large and spacious building, was completed at a great cost and sacrifice to our church people and loving community as well as the Church Extension Society of Philadelphia, Pa. Needless to say we feel our loss keenly; however, we trust that Providence will work out his will and reveal his way. Appeals will be sent to those whom the Lord has blessed with large fortunes as well as those of smaller means. Already the Hon. James P. Talaferro, U. S. Senator; Congressman S. M. Sparken; Judge James W. Locke and others, have donated to this cause. We have several hundred dollars subscribed, and material on hand, valued at $1,500, to begin a $6,000 obligation. We also owe on lot and old building the sum of $6,000 and $200,000 at the date of the storm to the Church Extension Board of Philadelphia, Pa. We have as our present pastor the Rev. James M. Trammell, a man in whom we have explicit confidence, who has determined to rebuild our church—the Lord willing, and he has been duly authorized to solicit money from the public for this purpose. We trust that everyone having an interest in the cause of Christianity will give as the Lord has prospered them. Feeling that our cause is a worthy one, and that you may be guided in the proper channel of giving, we refer you to the following. Hon. Geo. W. Allen, President of the First National Bank; Hon. George S. Waltle, President Island City National Bank, (both of Key West); Rt. Rev. Jos. F. Berry, Buffalo, N. Y., Presiding Bishop of the Florida Conferences. Any money given to these gentlemen will be turned over to the proper authorities. Very respectfully, Rev. J. M. Trammell, Pastor, Key West, Florida; T. A. Adams, M. D., Cor.

Leigh St., Richmond, Va. J. HENRY CRUTCHFIELD, Editor, Office: 1215 E. Broad St., Richmond, Va. A grand time was had at Fifth Street Baptist Church last Sunday, Pastor Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham occupied his pulpit for the first time since close of the anniversary; coming to his flock fresh from a short vacation and rest; he had wholesome lesson in store for them. He preached a choice sermon embodying many useful lessons which if adhered to and practiced will be avenues to manifold blessings. At 3:30 o'clock the, Pastor and a large number of his members took the Fourth Baptist Church by surprise: at a moment when they thought not the Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham followed by his deacon board and a large body of his members entered the Fourth Baptist Church just as said church was preparing to partake of the Lord's Supper. Their entrance was greeted by bright cheerful countenances and pleasurable bows and given a heartfelt reception. A lovable time ensued. All were highly elated over this meeting around the Lord's Table, Dr. Eva Payne, presided. Some of the sweetest hymns were sung by different members. Rev. Dr. Evans Payne after making a few timely remarks suited to the occasion, presented Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham who spoke quite feelingly relative to the church, and the object of the communion at the conclusion of which Bro. Wilber Jefferson sang shout, viz: "Fight on Old Warriors, Don't Turn back. Keep Your Sword in Your hand, etc." Other shouts were sung by Brethren Charles Humphrey, Charles Johnson and others. The Fourth Baptist Church is one of the oldest and one of the most progressive of the churches in this city, with a membership or nearly or about 2,300, all of whom think it an honor to say, that "its record is such and the demeanor of its Pastor so pleasant to them, that they have lived together as church and Pastor for thirty years, and that the bond of union between them is as strong and stronger than it was thirty years ago." They are just titillated over the thought of this grand pipe organ. We rejoice with them and our Fifth Street Baptist Church choir will no doubt be present at its organ recital Tuesday night, July 16, 1910. tuesday, July 26, 1970. (Owin to the absence of Supt.

A SECRETARY MEETS MISHAPS Jack Johnson's Man Has Leg Broken. To be successful as a secretary to a great man is a hard and notorious job. Usually it is more notorious than hard. But to be the secretary of a champion is more hard than notorious. You act not merely as a buffer between man and man. You are but the most scintillant spark shot forth by a rocketing career. Jack Johnson, meaning the pugilist laureate as well as laureate after his public reminiscences of a great but indecorous even set out from the theatre in which he appears in an automobile with six white men. Jack took the wheel and let her rip. As he approached the corner of Fort-second street and Eighth Avenue he slowed slightly and his private secretary, Richard J. Comiskey, of 591 Ninth Avenue, clambered to the running board to drop off. Johnson turned north into Eighth Avenue so sharply that before the private secretary could give a hop, skip and a jump to the curb he was thrown to the pavement, alighting mainly on his game leg, but to some extent on his body. Johnson stopped the car at once and all aboard piled out to pick up the fallen. "Dick, Dick; are yo' senseless?" queried Mr. Johnson anxiously. "No, siss, boom, ah," replied Mr. Comiskey, "but you are. But don't mind me. Pray resume the uneven falsetto of your way. Go as far as you like, and may a cop pinch you for speeding at the termination—" "Falsetto?" interrupted the champ, "False seto? Wat' wot' mean, man? Ah'm heah to succour yo' an' yo' reflect 'pon me." Here one of the employees of the theatre who was in the car drew the champion aside. After a whispered conference Johnson smiled and said it would be a nice day to-morrow if the heat were not excessive. He added that everything would be all right. Mr. Comiskey, prostrate, expressed some doubts of this. And then the champion did a noble thing. Lifting his private secretary as tenderly as if he had been a babe, he placed him in the car and started full speed for Roosevelt Hospital. Only those who remember Eighth Avenue when the comet was in town can picture the scene that followed. When Roosevelt Hospital was reached the tail of the auto was measured and was found to be composed of thousands of minute black common people whose eyes were distended and who reached from the hospital at Fifty-eighth Street down to Forty- seventh Street. The scientific explanation is that from Forty-second Street to Forty-seventh Street the nucleus was forming. Policeman Frank Early went over to the hospital with the auto and diligently wrote down in his notebook Mr. Johnson's name, age, occupation (which was put down as simply boxing and may refer to boxing the compass), nuptial condition and residence, which is Baron Wilkin's cafe, at 253 West Thirty-fifth Street. The policeman also wrote down a few facts about the injured private secretary. Johnson said he wanted Comiskey to have the best of care and he wouldn't take the count on the cost. He waited till Dr. Charles N. Dowd, visiting surgeon, could get to the hospital from his home, 127 West Seventy-second Street. Dr. Dowd made an examination and found that the private secretary had sustained a fracture of the left thigh. The unusual pain was due to its being a game leg. Comiskey will be all right in a short time if he keeps perfectly still and avoids the duties of his office. NOTICE!

James Kirty was notorious the length of the river and such an abrupt way tragic termination of his career had not only been frequently and cheerfully predicted, but was, moreover expected of all such members as graced his questionable profession. Indeed for them, a sober and respectable death would have been considered bad for them. Among the gambling profession there existed a certain code, which in a manner served to link those at the top who knew Kirty and Bunce, wood fortune hustles to the Morale type greeting and disgusting the gamble as a ladder. The terming was an understanding, to the effect that in no instance however great the proposition should the law be included.

Anxiously Tom Randall waited to see the jovial and well known figure of his father march down the gang plank, waited to catch a gimp of the familiar and weather heaten green portmanteau which the planter always carried. The moments passed other and numerous passengers stagger ashore, to be eagerly welcomed and claimed by their over 100 John Randall was not among them. A curious and seemingly pregnant bush had suic ceeded the landing of the freight, and off somewhere in the darkness a child whispered shrirty. The boy's nieces were on edge. Perhaps his father was having a farewell talk with the captain and would come dashing out at the last moment with all his old disregard for time and place. It was time the bell was clanging, the signal for backing away, for by now the landing of passengers and freight appeared to be terminated. And all still no John Ran dall. The boy walked along the string piece until the Texas deck came the more prominently into view, the glow of the ship's lights illuminating a port stegeroom silhouetting in aged pilot, absolute monarch of his realm, who now that an easy stretch of the river had been entered loafed about while his cub took the wheel. "Hello, on board the Shotwell" shouted young Randall, looking up at the pilothouse. "Is that you, Mr Rixby? This is Tom Randall. Do you know if my father is on board? We were expecting him by your boat, sir. For reply Mr Birky usually the pattern of courtesy offered a mountey sylable affirmative and turned from the other. But young Randall had no time to nurse his quick resentment, for now at last, his father had come ashore on the shoulders of two roosts about the captain and officers stood with bared chests. Left the unwelcome task of explaining the tragedy to the amiable and willing Colonel Moreau. "My boy," and the latter, now laying a fatherly hand on young Ran dall's beaving shoulder, "although I am a stranger to you,oh, I have ventured to assume temporary control of this terrible affair,foh I am a southern gentleman,as was Mr. Randall, and I feel bound to yob all by the ties of sympathy and country.

Meanwhile Camoe Kirby, a bullet through his right lung, was making a desperate battle against death, fighting for the life which he had considered little better than worthless. In his efforts he was materially assisted by the crude but faithful Bunce, his gambling partner, with whom he had played up and down the Mississippi for years. For two weeks this combat raged. Kirby hovering between life and death, but at the end he emerged triumphant as, over the gaming table when the odds were as heavily against him, he had emerged, from many a hotly contested conflict. To those who judged Kirby's character from the evil reports which goosup had spread concerning him and to others, in their righteous ignorance, considered all gamblers legitimate children of the devil his remarkable recovery would have been accepted merely as another proof that the evil age favors his own, that the mills of the gods grind slowly, that justice is blind, and that a scoundrel is difficult to kill, together with many similar ancient and redoubtable maxims which ignorance and self rightcounces love to distribute on every occasion. for clambs or meaty.

What if he had been but thrown when his father died a bankrupt? What if he had been left an orphan, a paper, with no immediate relative to care how he acted? Wasn't the heritage of an ancient and bonantable name, the knowledge that some of the oldest and best blood in all the south showed in his veins enough to keep him straight? Most assuredly it was. There was also absolutely no excuse for his drifting in with wild and dissolute companions becoming a common ever gambleer and a mute whiff of a mime with hitherto been the stricken for loiter and integrity.

Bring me pen and ink at once Larkin if you please, for I won't have a moment of peace until I sign that paper." Propped up on the pillows and supported by the still grumbling Bunce, he wrote the following: I hereby surreider the absolute possession of all the property in described to the child or children or John Randall "THIRD" he exclaimed. "Now I feel better, and there is no chance of my old neighbor's children being defrauded out of their inheritance." "You worry a heap more about them than yourself," observed Bunce, "and there's no call for it. Even if they knew you had got this deed you're reckoned as a dead man by everybody.

"I couldd "I guess there isn't any one who could get the better of you. Gene face to face. I don't much of a hand at the gospel, but I'll scare up a prayer or two for Jack Morcaus' son." CHAPTER IV. LMOST one year elapsed before Colonel Morcel, harkening at length to the call of the river, returned to his old Bailiffs in New Orleans. When he did so it was to learn that his supposed victim had entirely recovered from the effects of the "honorable combat" and, in conjunction with his partner, had reoccupied his old niche of famo-prismatic professional gambit of the kaiserlippi. Quite aside from all financial reasons—the fact that a more skillful and successful rival was garnering the major spoils of the styrac—the news of his victim's recovery was seriously disquieting to the honorable colonel, and had he been forewarned his might have indiscretely prologged his acquaintance with the more health- Our quiz of Mexico. We knew that Kirby was not the type of man to forget or gaduce a bullet in the back or the entrenching of whiterer little remained of his once fair reputation, and had he even remotely suspected that he would recover he (Moran) would not have prevaricated so cheerfully and with such abandon to young Randall. How much did the boy now know? That was the all important question. Kirby, of course, had learned that he would not be John Randall's suicide, but had he taken the trouble to refute it. Morenu did not think so, and Morenu was right. Kirby had but vaguely heard of the unjust accusation and, having been long since cashewardened to calumny in all its phases, paid little if any attention. Had any member of the Randall family sought him out he would, as a matter of duty, have proved his innocence. But they, believing him dead, had not done so, and he refused to take the initiative, partly because he could not give absolute credence to the rumor, but in a greater measure because of the demands upon his time. After all it did not matter. It meant not another tally to the scandal, but another and all would be wiped out by that gentleman's death on undertaking upon which he had definitely decided. What stood between them, could he eradicated only by the bullet Meantime the passing year had brought with it many changes for the surviving members of the Randall family. Life is tenuous, and they had persisted in surviving as best they could the shock incident upon their father's suicide. The one small measure of satisfaction in the whole terrible affair was the knowledge that the despoiler of their home had promptly met his death and that in consequence they were at least saved from pauperization, for they were entirely ignorant of Kirk's recovery or the measures he had vulturally taken for their protection. To the only girl Adèle, had fallen the brunt of suffering. The General, a child of night was too young to fully comprehended his loss, Tom. A but headed youth in his early twenties, occupied all his time with the plantation and devoted all spare moments to nursing his hatred against Kirby's memory. While glorying in the latter's supposed death he deplored that his hand had not effected it. Where grief had paralyzed Melle it had further aroused the boy's unanticipated and aggressive nature adding, moreover a vener of youthful and bitter yellows. He abhorsed Kirby's memory with an intensity passing, the hatred of girl and ever had he been a stronger to prevailing and primal notions of youthful and bitter yellows. The other it liked, have immediately sought it in out and killed him. If father's memory demanded that no resistance should be made to the game's ill it like they demanded the latter should not have nothing to enjoy his newly acquired property. More than once, as if unease ination soubriac to prompt the truth the boy had suggested to his older the possibility of kirybe having survived Moean's sleover attentions. Then he would break out in an unguereable fit of fury and hatred. Supposing that acquainted has lived and died, he rewarded of his crime he would cry. He gained that died by the strictest acquredition ever practiced. Well let him make good his claim if he can" "But who will dispute it?" Adele would lifespan inquire, plucking at her black dress, while twin patches of secret would begin to burn in the dead white of her face. "Do you think we could stoop to ask mercy from a man of that stump? Whether the deed was gained honestly or not it does not matter. Father's signature is on the paper, and we must stand by it. Tom. You know that. Anyway," she would shout drearily, "what does it matter? What does it matter where we go, what we become? Let this Mr Kirby-if that be his name-mish the work he began so well." "I- I wish you could pluck up a little more spirit, Dele," he would return solicitous and resentful in the one breath "Doesn't the thought of that soundrel's possible recovery make your blood boil? Don't you ever HARA "OUTPOUND THAT SOUNDREL INTENSE HEAVING THE REAR OF THE CRIME!" consider the thought of you and the General and me being rendered absolute pauper? Think of what it would mean to leave the only home we have known"— "I have thought of all that until my brain is sick—sick like my heart," she would interrupt colorfully. "I have long contemplated the possibility; thought that the deed might, after all, be enforced. I have talked the matter over with Aunt Davies. We have decided that the moment we learn that this—this gambler is alive we will put the place in order and leave immediately for New Orleans—again quarrel ourselves on unity. After that—well you and I must learn how to work. Then we must provide for the director's school, and of courses we cannot be a burden on Aunt Davies one moment longer than all else." solutely necessary. Above all, there must on no account be any opposition to this sir. Kirby's claim, supposing he still lives." Yes. I suppose you're right. Dole. he would reluctantly agree. "We could not dishonor father's memory by resisting the scoundrel's claim. And had sorrow not blurred the brother's perception, remoulded would be different to his brother, who would instantly have suspected her brother's lignociousness, for, hot headed and impulsive, he was not one to heed advice, accept the passive course that abe had outlined. As the months passed and nothing was heard of Kirby the possibility of his being alive and over claiming the plantation was finally abandoned' by Adele. But young Randall, although carefully professing to the contrary, still entertained the suspicion that his enemy lived. In time' the thought became so insistent that he determined to quietly sat on foot a thorough investigation. Visiting in person the town in which Kirby had fought his victorious battle against death, he eventually succeeded in tracing the physician who had attended theounded gamble, and in finding the boy's mother verified beyond the possibility of a doubt. His intention was vindicated Kirby lived and, so far as the doctor knew, was at that moment busily engaged with his chosen profession. Young Randall returned home, carefully concealing from his sister all hint of his mission. The girl had but lately expressed a desire to visit their nunt in New Orleans, for the plantation was pregnant with memories and sorrows that were fast growing unbeatable. Taking advantage of this opportune desire and keeping his real purpose in the background, Tom now suggested that the house be temporarily closed and the long contemplated visit paid. Securing Adèle's assent to this and satisfied that Kirby was alive and that justice had yet to be meted out, young Randall, as was the custom in such matters, promptly set about informing his male relatives and friends. Among the latter was Judge Pieddell a neighbor, whose plantation adjoined on the west that of the Randalls and to whose daughter. Am the boy was engaged Tom's sole surviving relative was an elderly, cousin Aaron Randall, who ignorant of the defences confronted with his uncle's death had for over a year been detained by business interests in the north. To him Town was a urgent wrote, requesting that he come to the home of their mutual aid in New Orleans, and the following morning the Pieddell and Randall families set out to find the man City there resided another gentleman M Anatole Vendula who having for years sought an alliance with the Randall family through the medium of Adèle, naturally to be expected to encounter heartily in the plans for the anniliation of Cannes Kirby. Four to one were heavy odds but the scapegger gambler in his day had accepted greater In due time the Randalls and Pley dells arrived at the home of Mumu Davezac, but the weeks passed and as yet no information had been re- ceived tending to show that Kirby con- templated securing the property in fact. Tom Randall, scouring the city for the gamster, positively learned that the latter and his partner, Bunce, had left. This was indeed the case, for Kirby's sole motive in coming to New Oriens had been the desire to run down a rumor to the effect that Jack had been a hunchback and had hunts. The rumor proved authentic, and colonel had already left for Baton Rouge, from which town he again headed for the Crescent City, Kirby and Bunce close upon his heels. And then the inevitable happened for one day in the streets of New Or, leans Tom Randall came face to face with Morane. On both sides the meeting was an affecting one, the nature colonel's momentary alarm turning to relief when, from the boy's effusive greeting, he ascertained the other's agreeable state of ignorance regarding the true facts of John Randall's suicide. Tom at once confided the intention of killing Cande Kirby, and delighted at securing such unsuspected re enforctions. Morane heartily curred in the intention offering his modest co-operation in the same worthy cause. On his part the boy was only a mere supporter of the actions of so valuable a friend, and he promptly invited Morane to Mime Daveney's, an invitation that was as promptly accepted, if being quite characteristic of the estimable gentleman to accept the hospitality of those whom he had freely loved wrought. Learning from Moran that Kirby was in the city and in fact, had been seen only that morning at the Salle de Conde, young Randall hurriedly returned to his aunt's, determined to act on a foot plan that had been suggested by Judge Jerdell. That moldy vainain, Colonial Moran, promised to join the other the moment he had secured his portmanteau. Meanwhile Aaron Randall, an elderly, precise gentleman, whose long sojourn in the north he had served to somewhat cool his fey southern nature, had promptly answered his cousin's urgent letter by shelving all business domands and hastening south. An old bachelor, his late uncle and he had been closely close to each other through life, and had his inflection upon the other's children. Adela in particular being his especial favorite. Business careers had prohibited his attendance at John Randall's funeral, and, in fact, he had been kept in ignorance of the facts surrounding the other's suicide. Adela holding that it would cause needless worry and sorrow. The unpleasant duty of explaining the tragedy devolved upon Judge Pleiy dell, and, even while Tom was renewing his acquaintance with Colonel Murean, Aaron had arrived at the little house in the old French quarter of the town and Pleiy had been acquiring to their plan of campaign against Kirty. "We have all our plans arranged, and" the old judge was now lodging, while he paused the room in some excitement, "and I have taken afarre more or less into my own hands. Tom would have hunted on the grill and shot him on sight, but I venture to think my way is the best, for we must recognize the honor duo Mr. Randall's memory, and that means making no resistance to Mr. Kirby's claim. The first thing to do is to send your cousins out to the plantation, and they will surrender the place to the distant slaves, inland oppressors. The last thing the ladies—Mum, Davenport, along with my daughter Ann and the little boy—over to my plantation, while we remain behind to deal with the gentleman. You understand? I don't think he'll live very long to enjoy the property, and this time I that, I replied Arron quietly. "There's you and Tom and I "And Colonel Moran," supplemented the Judge, "I understand he is a dead shot. Then there is M. Vaudrym whom you know. He has long been a sultor of Miss Alesia, but since her father's death naturally she has been in no frame of mind for courtship, and consequently an Anatole is as litter on the subject of Kirty as she her self." "Door Consin Adele," courtesured Aaron, wiping his eyes. When I just saw her she was such a happy bright eyelid girl. To think of her young life being made a tragedy by this solemn droll! I'd cut off my right hand so that girl. Judge Pleydell. But this Colonel Moran, this defender of the family—you speak of his cooperation he, then, in town? "I have heard so," said the other quietly "and there is no doubt that he will join us in our crusade against this wounder. He is not the man to forget or condone such an unspeakable vile action he witnessed ahead the Shotwell that night. In fact your consimils hope to have the honor of entertaining Colonel Moran, and Tom has goes out for the express purpose of ascertaining his hereabouts, for it will be necessary to prove that the man was in town I reckon Mr. Kirby is due to lose his life pretty shortly. He has made a lot of misery for us sir and it is high time he had some himself CHAPTER V "IHIS trouble has driven Ten pretty near creek swam on the judge and Ive put off his and my daughter Ann's wedding until we settled Mr. Kirty, for the fact is I do want her to take any changes of being a widow so young sir. "To the ladies know what is going forward." So and I cannot impress that fact upon you too strongly, sir. They believe and are to be kept in the belief that If Colonel Morace accepts our invitation, which no doubt he will do we are all merely making a pleasure joint to the Randall plantation. We treat the whole affair in that light, sir—a visit in honor of Colonel Morace so that the family may make his acquaintance at hat and show some measure of their gratitude to him for shooting down the despair of their fear. The entrance of Mine Dawneac prohibited further discussion of the subject. "Ah," she exclaimed suspiciously, "the gentleman talk secrets already M Aaron," she added graciously, you and I have not met for many years "A great loss to me," he gallantly replied, kissing her proffer hand "A happy meeting, madame. The judge and I" he continued unhush- ered, we were discussing plans for the probable entertainment of Colonel Morleu. "Then you must not talk of gloomy subjects, as I saw you were doing so replied "No dinails, please, for it is always when I see two heads to gether in this house it must be that they talk of their hatred for that poor Eugene Lily." "Poor, madame!" echoed Aaron turning in amazement to Judge Pley dell. "I should have warned you, sir, explained the latter, that my dear old friend has ratified her sentimentality Codding that Mime Dameze was past fifty-five, this was indeed a doubly remarkable per- formance. "Did you know this Kirby, ma damo?" gravely ingrived Aaron. "No, monsieur, never, but I know his father, and I cannot make myself to feel about the son as do all those others. I know his reputation, M Aaron. But just think—a boy who had no one to watch him, no one to care! He drifts with bad companions he must be somehwah Oh. I could not become a gambler but that one with such blood in him could do what you all believe he has done—it is impossible." "But, mademe," protested Aaron "this gentleman, this stranger, Colonel Moran" "Ab," she quickly interrupted, "I think Colonel Morau acted from the highest motive. None of this family has a greater wish to make his acquaintance and thank him than have I. But I am still sure there was something he did not see, something he did not understand, something which would take the stair from the action of that poor young man. Yes; you think me a fool, you laugh at me;" she added as both gentlemen smiled tronically, "but it is what I think, and it is good to see some one laugh in this house, even if it is at my expense." As she turned to leave an old negro gentleman, announced that the "French nigrah" would serve coffee in fifteen minutes. "Walt, Croup," commanded Mme. Davage. Then, addressing the two gentlemen, she added: "Laisen. This negro belonged one time to the father of Eugene Kirby. Croup, tell the gentlemen what you have told me once of that time your young M. Kirby like fall from the tah tree." "Well, sun, it wore like its deh'bah' began the old nigro, turning to Judge Rogeljad.

It is a fact that the late Emperor Nero, a well known not dissatisfied character in Roman history was very teer hearted during his boyhood." --- "And," added Aaron, with much herness, "that a soul of such promise as a child should have fallen so how a man makes him all the less deserving of your pity. The case against this Kirby is quite clear." "Perhaps I am not foolish that I can't believe with you," she returned. "But are we not going to the plantation to forget all such things?" I ask us not discuss the matter further. It was not long before young Randal arrived and acquainted the others with his happy meeting with Colonel Moreau. It was then agreed that the boy in order to prepare his home for the honored guest should prescribe the rules of the estate, and he dell having orders to leap at the plantation, proceeding from there to the Randall's home, the pleasure of receiving Colonel Moreau was thus left in the hands of Aaron. "He may be here at any moment" explained Tom, "and as I must change into riding togs you will have to receive him, consist. One of our blood must be here to welcome him. I don't think we can show too much honor to the man who tried to avenge my father. So for I am the only member of the family who has made his acquaintance. I will come down as soon as I can, but you will not find him difficult to entertain. He's a fine fellow in every sense of the word." Shortly after Judge Ploydell had departed, while the ladies were busily engaged with their packing and young Randall was dressing, the tall figure of the flower of southern chivalry portmanteau in hand, arrived at Mine Davenace's and was heartily greeted by the expectant Aaron, who, sensible of his duties as host, put forth every fort to receive this distinguished visitor in the manner befitting one who owned such presumable rank and virtue. "Allow me to welcome you, sir," he said. "My name is Aaron Randall, and I have the honor to be cousin to the poor children you have befriended. May I offer you a morning dram, sir?" Morgan accepted the glass with his native courtesy and, raising it, murmured: "With yoh, suh! I rogrot." he added in his beat manner, "that I have never been able to meet the indices of yoh cousin's household, and I was delighted to hear from Mr. Handall that I am to have the pleasure of helping to complete the pinkishment I began moth then a year ago on the daughter of this family's happiness. I allude, suh, to the voluminous Camo Kirby." "You call a pistol ball through the right lung only a beginning, colonel mildly acquired Aaron, impressed by his visitor's evident prowess." "The hall I put through Kirby's right lung, suh, was the result of my indignation foh others" replied Mr. neat. "The one I shall hope to put through his heart is roh myself. Yoh family's plan foh dispelling of the secondral has my entire approval. I have the honor to tell you that SATURDAY.....JULY 23, 1910 Cameo Kirby's continued existence has achieved this importance. It has become an annoyance to me-Colonel Jacques Gaspard Deschamps Morau—and I shall wipe him from the earth "Let us hope so." agreed Aaron. "Miche Larkin Bunce 'fo to see de geneman what's just come," announced old Croup, popping his head around the door and minking a polite bow. Before the gentleman could actise Kirby's partner shouldered his way past the negro and strode into the room. "Well, Moreau, I've run you down at last!" he exclaimed cynically, cying the startled gambler "I've hunted the town for you, from the Salle de Conde to Congo square. I reckon you know who I come from." Moreau, momentarily staggered quickly recovered his wonted compourse. His immediate task 'was to get rid of Aaron before the latter was in possession of any plain truths—truths with which the overheated Bunco seemed to be bursting. "Mr Randall," he said politely and with no evidence of haste, "my business with this gentleman is private Might I beg of you"— "He kin stay for all I care," interrupted Kirby's partner "Not at all, not at all," applauded Aaron. "The house is yours, sir, it added turning to his honored guest. With another how, which this time included Mr Bunce, he hastily left the room. "Seemed kinder anxious to git him out o the way" commented the in truder after a moment's silence. "I reckon you didn't hardly calculate on Gene Kibby's upere in Noo Orleans just about now I reckon if you had you might have stayed hid in Mexico." "You think I'd hide from Gene Kirby" demanded Moreau, folding his arms and gurgling at the other --- "I don't think you will no more," replied Bunce lucidly. "You know Jack, what I admire about you is the impulsea a good skier puts into you. You're so skiered of Kirby's getting you you've got the impulsea to be here with the Randall family because you think it's the last place he took for you." "Well" demanded Moreau "Yes; he's pretty well again, and he's waiting for you, colonel. He don't know these folks, and he don't care what they think of him. It's you he's after, and I guess you wouldn't exact like him to have a talk with Tom Randall. That's where I've got you. You've got to meet Kirby yourself 'stead o' waiting for this young Ran dall to try for it you. You've got sense enough to know that. If Tom wen you might have both of them after you." "I suppose," said the other sunvely "you mean I may hope for a settlement of my affairs with Kirby?" "Oh, you bet you can hope," chuckled Bunce. "When I left Geno two hours ago I said I'd find you for him. He went to the 'dueling oaks'—you know them—and will there for you. He'll be at the fur end—alone. You go into the grove at this end—alone. After you've seen each other shoot when you please. Do you understand?" "Tell him I'll be there," said Morcan grimly. On Bunco's departure Colonel Moreau, with his usual amiable manner and native regard for the truth, acquainted Aaron and Tom Randall with the sudden alteration in his plans, adding that for the present he must defer his meeting with the ladies. "Fob this," he concluded, producing his Derringer, "mans an appointment I cannot decline. We dispose with "OR MY THE FAYOR OF USING THIS." will at last take off her mourning." I repeat, auth, *h* returned Moreau, with quiet finality, "that this is my affair, I regard it as an execution, I cannot and will not permit any interference on yob part. Morely tell the ladies that I was delayed and will follow on horseback later. And kindly take charge of my portmanteau." Bullionly realizing the other's fixity of purpose, the *h* turned to his saddlebags, from which he produced a silver mounted plato. White faced and trembling with passion, he handed it to the colouel. "At least," he said, with an effort at dignity and self composure, "do we the favor of using this instead of your own. Since my father's death I have always carried it. It belonged to him and is the one that scoundrel caused him to turn upon himself." "I respect the sentiment and yoh wishes, auth," replied Moreau, handling his own weapon to Aaron, who gingerly placed it in the colouel's portmanteau. "Won't you even take me as a witness?" pleaded Tom. "You won't see me, for I will hide in the underbrush." "Impossible, Mr. Randall. I ask you word to continue yoh journey exactly as yoh have planned. Never fear, I shall see yoh at the plantation this evening. When yoh come in sight of yoh fields today look upon them in peace, foh by that time there will be no one to dispute them with yoh. Yoh servant, gentlemen." And, bowing the good colonel blithely stepped forth into the morning sunshine and headed for the distant dueling oaks. From the window Tom Randall impatiently watched the other's departure, and when at length the estimable defender of the family, serene upon his coming interview with Kirby, had turned a nearby corner the boy sprang off the window seat and seized his hat "Where are you going?" sharply demanded Aaron, attempting to bar the other's way "Don't meddle with me" violently warned Tom "If ever a man had the right to another's tip I have the right to Cameo Kirby." Colonel Moreau may have taken it from me but do you think I'm not going to see it done? "Not in honor," said Aaron sterely "Each was to go alone." "What honor did Kirby show my in fear?" cried the boy. "Get everything ready at the plantation in Aldee that Colonel Morau and I will follow on horseback. If Morau does not tush Kirby I will. I will get him somehow." And, flinging aside Aaron's detaining arm, he dashed from the house. CHAPTER VI ESPIE his fifty odd years, Colonel Morene set out for his destination at so vigorous a pace that Tom Randall, who confidently expected to dog the other's steps, was disagreeably disappointed, for by the time he had gained the first corner around which the estimable defender of the family had disappeared the latter was nowhere in sight. Fa' millar with the city and its environs, the boy possessed knowledge of several time saving short cuts to the dueling oaks, but this on the present occasion he considered useless, for, ignorant of the exact spot where the combatants were to meet, there exist no alternative but to press on in the wake of Moreau, who he had every reason to believe had taken the family and direct route. Thoroughly imbued with the desire and expectation of witnessing Kirby's death and thus in a measure glutting his rejuvenation, young Randall broke into a run, confident that on turning each successive corner he would come in sight of the aeneo and indomitable colonel. But time and distance dew by until at length the tall trees bordering the grove broke upon his vision and as yet his quarry had not been run to earth. Monotonally perplexed and mystified, the boy turned and scanned the way by which he had come. Could he have in some cryptic manner passed the other on the road, or, contrary to all expectation, had Morena taken the short cut, and was he even now in the grove face to face with Camoo Kirby? For immediate and conclusive answer two pistol shots rattled out, shattering the cool serenity of the morning and sending a bevy of frightened rocks circling and cawing high into the brooding blue dome of the heavens. Curing his ill luck, young Randall raced furiously toward the distant grove. Colonel Moreau, considerably more familiar with the town than Tom Ranaldi, had indeed availed himself of the shortest cut possible and one which would lead him directly to that entrance the situation of which Larkin Hume had been at paints to explain. No time could be wanted, for Kirby was already there, and to keep an adversary waiting attacked not only of cowardice, but was a direct breach of the code regulating such affairs of honor. It was characteristic of Moore that if left to himself he would serenely outrage all codes by shooting a man in the back, but that when officially entered for a combat—such as on the present occasion—he punctually observed both the spirit and the letter. Kirby living meant a serious monace; Kirby dead meant security and a tighter grip on the spoils of the river, a reoccupation of the premier position from which he had been ousted. Business interests and his own life clamored for Kirby's death. For Bunce, if he grew troublesome, he would account, and he could rely on the latter's remaining true to the code of their profession—carrying no tales to the Randallia, but instead, if he considered fit, fighting out the issue with the slayer of his partner. It can thus be seen that Moreau in his usual optimistic fashion had the future arranged entirely to his satisfaction. Meanwhile he had cautiously entered the shadow of the dueling oaks and, pistol in hand, was slowly threading his way down the path, the weapon cooked and resting across his left forearm. Flanked on either side by the giant trees through which fugitive sunnies flocked, shooting their small golden arrows of light into the dense and rank undergrowth, he found some difficulty in accurately discerning distant objects. Although the path was straight, thus obviating any turning of angles and a consequent sudden and unexpected meeting, he could not see Kirby, and for a moment the fears of an elaborately planned am baucade arose in his unworthy mind. Indeed, the setting offered many indications to one who, like himself might entertain such a laudable purpose. These momentary misgivings were, however, abruptly dispelled, for from far down the path Kirby's voice suddenly broke the silence. "Good morning, colonel! Is that you? Are you quite ready? Stand by for I'm coming." ance of the authorities, make every man the gambler's enemy, the latter's capture would be assured. With difficulty loosening Moreau's fast stiffening fingers from their death grip upon the platoon, young Randall hastily concealed the weapon upon his pereon and thus by a single movement transformed what had been an honorable and fair encounter into a seemingly deliberate and cold blooded murder. The fact that Moreau had used the late John Randall's weapon, leaving his own at Mine, Davezex, would be but additional proof that Moreau Kirby had shot down an unarmed man.

More armed, but made cere effort to set ours is a fair ain and as such matthe by the statutes I Moreau instantly turned until he faced the trees on his right. Thus he presented the smallest possible surface to his advancing foe. Although the articles of agreement called for a mutual and simultaneous advance, he was aware that it is easier to fire from a fixed platform, and he consequently deliberately halted, his left shoulder thrown forward and the pistol lever with his eye. He could now discern Kirby, who unmindful of all tactical or strategic advantage, came saucering toward him, the right hand dangling carolessily at his side. He was whistling, but had Moreau been newer he would have noted the slimmer line running from nose to mouth and the fixty of purpose in the brooding eyes, all of which killed the deer carol. Moreau standing like a rock which disputed the other's progress waited and watched. Once he made a sudden, violent movement in the hope of drawing Kirby's fire but the latter, never beheading continued his seemingly careless advance. On he came thirty paces twenty and still no sign from either man, fifteen, and Moore's hand whitened at the knuckles and his head came slowly down as he趴ed the other on the sights of his pistol. On came Kirby, still whistling, as if on a pleasure stroll, the right hand still dangling carelessly at his side. The nervous tension was first growing unbearable. Moreau's nose looked plucked, and the breath whistled through it. On came Kirby - ten ```markdown ``` CAMERO KIRBY READY TO DO BATTLE WITH MORNEAL paces, and a sudden throb of flame lesped from Morreu's肋孔, followed by a whirling wreath of smoke and a reverberating crash. He receded from the heavy charge. At the same moment Kirby's lastest hand swept up, and without breaking step he fired The drifting smoke parted in shreds and streamed away. The startled crows had ceased cawing and off somewhere a blue Jay ventured to tim idly call its mate. Once more the cool serenity had descended upon the dueling oaks. Kirby was still advancing, but Colonel Morrey, giving a little cough, hesitated a moment, then fell prone, a small blue indentation disg- uring the purity of his lofty forehead. Cameo Kirby looked gravely down upon the body of his late enemy, then as gravely he parted the trees and with bowed head, slow threaded his way toward the distant town Kirby had not long left the scene of conflict before Tom Randall, coming from an almost diametrically opposite direction, burst into the grove and tripped headlong over the lifeless form of Colonel Moreau. Recovering him self, the boy stared in horrified amazement at what he had never expected to see. That God should have thus defended the impious seemed impossible. Astonishment quickly gave place to a sense of burning outrage, a bitterness, abhorrence and vindictiveness which immeasurably overswept all previous feelings of treasured animosity and hatred. Now, Kirby must atone not only for the suicide of John Randall, but for the death of that gentleman's fancied protector and champion. Swayed by his present emotions, balked of revenge and thirating for some means of expressing it, young Randall now stooped to an action which lishonored his name, race and country. In cooler moments he would have repudiated an action which forfeited the respect of all deceit men. But he was hostage to a tempestuous and violent passion which counted not the means to an end. Single handed his might not hope to hunt down Kirkby, but if he could entail the anger name of the authorites, make every man the gambler's enemy, the latters' capture would be assured. With difficulty loosening Morane's fast stiffening fingers from their death grip upon the pistol, young Randall hastily concealed the weapon upon his person and thus by a single movement transformed what had been an honorable and fair encounter into a seemingly deliberate and cold blooded murder. The fact that Morane had used the late John Randall's weapon, leaving his own at Mine, Davezac's, would be but additional proof that Cameo Kirby had shot down an unarmed man. But one living witness other than Tom Randall had been prescaut at this exchange of weapons, and be, Aaron, would be expected to keep silent. Revenge, may it ever be honorable, but, honorable or dishonorable, revenge at all costs—such was the boy's slogan. He had hardly resumed possession of his father's weapon and thus gassed the stigma of murder upon Kirby when several men, attracted by the shots and whose rapid approach had spurred the boy to instant action, cried running into the grove. To them young Randall breathlessly recounted his veron of the tragedy. "You see, the gentleman has no weapon," he concluded pointing to Moreau's barren hands. "This, therefore, is a deliberate and carefully planned murder. Like yourselves, I was attracted by the shot." "But there was two or em, for I counted," put in one of the newcomers. "The murderer evidently missed at his first fire," said Tom. "My name is Randall of Plaquemine, so you may accept by word that I found the gentleman as I have stated. This is a great and villainous outrage I happen to know the victim, a most estimable and honorable gentleman, who had the misfortune to incur the ennity of the notorious river gambler Cameo Kirby. The latter sore to get even, and there is no doubt he has fulfilled his murderous and cowardly intention." "I seen this Kirby in town yesterday," commented one of the men, examining with morbid curiosity Moreau's death wound. "He's a bad egg from all accounts. Done his job neat. Shot from ambush. I reckon." "We passed him on the road as we come into the grove," added a second "I know him by sight a youngish look, gray eyed blade with a sort of dandy getup to him. We asked him if there had been a doool, and he said yes, he thought so"— "He lites, as you can see," cried Tom, springing to his feet. "What road did he take?" "He come from that a way," interrupted the informant, pointing in the direction Kirby had taken. "But you all know the road forks further down." "Come!" We'll separate, and he cannot escape," cried Tom. "It's our duty to hunt the villain down, to aid the law all we can. Dueling is a thing but murder such as this deserves only lynch law. We'll show the scoundrel the same quality of mercy he met out to this poor defenseless gentleman." "That's right. Shift and a long tone," cried the man. Photographed by the member who had met Kirby, the small impromptu pose quickly made its way through the underbrush emerging on the road which the gambler, at a point below the fork was even then traversing. When the fork of the road was reached Tom and two companions chose the right or southerly branch while the man who had met Kirby accompanied us a half grown youth, here away to the left. Thus by another intervention of the fates young Randall's meeting with the gambler was again postponed. The former and his companions alarming the countryside en route reached town without overtaking or even sighting their quarry Meanwhile the other members of the posee had fared better or worse. They had not long left their companions before Kirby was staggered walking leisurely with bowed head and evidently prosecured mind. Warned by the rapidly advancing steps of his self constituted judges and executors, he turned in mild curiosity and awafted their approach. The farmer and his son for such was the relationship existing between this contingent of the pursuers—came up bot and pawning from their exorcises and, meeting Kirby's cool and pleasantly inquiring eyes, became for the moment nonplussed and confused. "Rather a warmish morning for such strenuous exercise, gentleman," greeted the gambler "it is obvious that your business is with me. Pray in what manner can I serve you!" The youth's loutish bearing became the more evident in contradiction to that of the elegant and courteous HEYER LOOKING MORRALA FAST STRETCHING FIMMORS FROM THEIR DEATH GRIP, gambler- and, with hanging up, he fell back, overcrowed by the silent but compelling mastery of castle. His parrot, however—a stringy, drawing, malarial gentleman—wak cake in a more determined, and throbbing mold. "Tun all be the gambler they fall 'Cameo Kirby,' he exclaimed, pointing a threatening finger "We seen yuh all come from the duelin oaks, an' we all have just come from there. Yuh all have killed an unarmed man, an' we all are gold' to have yuh all up for murder" "My dear sir," replied Kirby, aranging his cravat "you all intentions speak well for you all's respect for justice, but I assure all all there is some mistake The gentleman I had the good fortune to kill entirely merited his end" Moreover he was not unarmed, but made an earnest and sincere effort to settle my all. In short, he was a fair and honorable meeting, and as such matters are not prohibited by the statutes I really fall to see how it concerns you all—comes within the scope of you all's worthy useless." "Them big words and makin' fun of my language don't change the case," said the farmer grimly. "I seen yuh alls victims with my two eyes, an' so did my boy and a but others. He didn't have no weapon of any kind, an' that wekin prove Lynchin' is too good for you, Mr Kirby, an' yuh all know it." "The dewl it is," replied Kirby. "You are the victim of a mistake, Mr Farmer, and I'm evidently the victim of an enemy who has concealed my late opponent's weapon. I will not permit your ignorance to swing me from the end of a rope." "Tom, run for help I will hold this follow," cried the farmer. And as the boy ran off the maitrial gentleman dung his wiry arms about Kirby. A force and protracted struggle enmud.

They woul- d hang him first and impulse into the merits of the case afterward if possible prompt and grammulous flight was his only salutation. True to his class, his opponent possessed some knowledge of wrest- ling but was not likely to out of even the rudiments of pugilism and the younger man conceived his efforts to frustrating tripping attacks while at the same time striving to free his朋 dowed right arm. This at tough he suc- ceeded in doing. A vicious wrench a clever fount, a something upper and the matriarch gentleman wud down on his back while birky waving an airy adieu to the new advancing army of yelling pursuers took him by his heels. But feet and long winded runner though he was, capture was not thus to be tightly outfitted. The cry of "Catch the murderer" is infinitely more potent than that of Stop thief" and pursuers were multiplying in his track at an alarming rate, adding at every stop fresh runners to their ranks. On sped kirby every variety and class of humanity at his beets. Once or twice his way was harred by some energetic and impulsive newcomer, but a clever dodge or a well directed blow left him to swell the ever increasing army of impotents in the rear. No fox doubling and redoubling on his tracks while in full view of the pack owned a more keen delight in thus stalking acumen and agility against overwhelming odds than did the young gambler. By now the city proper had been gained and the pursued, dashing around the first opportune corner, he came lost to his pursuers. Kirby found himself in a quiet side street lined with aristocratic, fat lit the red brick houses whose drawing room balconies were little more than a man's height from the side path. He vigorously realized that he was in the heart of New Orleans' old French quarter. The street was not very long, and he did not know to where it led. Owing to the early hour the shutters of the houses were still closed, but one house seemed to be an exception, for his quick, searching eyes bored on his right a half open drawing room window with its gently fanning curtain He 'had dropped into a quick walk in order to gain a much needed breathing spell, but now as the hue and cry of his persistent pursurers became more insistent he again broke into a run. In a few moments they would turn the corner and slight their quarry. Almost at the same instant another chorus of cries came from the far end of the street toward which Kleby was henting. He incontinently halted, realizing that the enemy, familiar with the neighborhood, had divided its army and sent one contingent around his flank to head him off. He was trapped, for it was impossible to advance or retreat. Louder and louder sounded the cries from front and rear. Another minute and the short street Would be choked with the meeting mob. Without hesitation nor caring where it would lead, Kleby accepted the desperate and solitary chance that was afforded him. Hasilin returning to the bound with the open window and ascending its steps, he leaped high in afr, caught the overhanging balcony drew himself up, leaped over the elaborately scrolled railing and, pushing inside the gently belting curtains, stepped quietly into the room.

Va. as second class matter SATURDAY JULY 28, 1910 LAW DESCRIPTION AT FORT MYER The nurturing of a coeducation on Aquaduct Bridge last Monday night by soldiers from Fort Mac has caused much comment and be awakened an echo of the Brown the Texas officer The Wash- DC Post is usually bank in comment and its dedication of the midst of the battle of July 29, 2014. Luxury of discipline and well-behaved still more consummable are to be weighted in fixing the responsibility for the renewal of the death quarrel between Fort Myer soldier and neighborhood negroes. The shooting of a negro on Aquabridge Monday following upon the threatened attack on the Alexander county jail affords conclusive evidence that some of the soldiers still bear a bitter county to negroes in general and are prepared to shoot them down at a favorable opportunity. The negroes permitted to go where they wary through their superiors be not an aware of the murderous intent of the men they command. Fort Myer to-day shelters half hundred would-be lynchers who have not been called to account and whose identity, so far as the publication informed, has not been established. As the logical result of this diary性 policy, we have the murderous affair on Aquoduct bridge Defying arrest the two soldiers involved ran off in the direction. Fort Myer so a military jerseyed officer the warrior. Not unlikely they be long to the uniformed and masked mob who made the abortive descent on the fall. Another significant fact is that the Washington policeman from whose custody the two soldiers escaped on the bridge states that an army garrant on detail at the Virginia side of the bridge offered no assistance in apprehending his fleeing comrades and displayed the utmost indifference to the shooting of the negro. This if true, suggests that the Fort Myer cap, like that at Brownville, has its "conspiracy of silence," which haffled all attempts to ferret out the real offenders among the Twenty-fifth Infantry The Fort Myer authorities were promptly notified of the shooting Monday night, together with Descriptions of the two men. As the Aqueduct bridge is within District jurisdiction, it is in the power of the local authorities to demand the arrest and surrender of the offenders for trial in the civil courts. It devolves upon the military authorities higher up not only to take cognizance of the outrages which have been committed and punish those who have been dorellect, but seriously to consider the advisability or transferring the entire body of troops now at the fort to a distant post.

THE END OF THE CHAPTER PRESIDENT LARRY AWAKENING President Taft has been much disturbed by the feeling of antagonism among the leaders of control officers of the United States and he has had to meet the situation by him himself and to the point that it has been impossible to form a united force to resist it. President Taft has not yet settled his position for the United States State. This is a need to have been for the joint and the third parties and especially to that partie who have been so unreasonably cr tive him, that the thing For activi is no respecter of persons and that he is not recognizing the other line As is a common trait, in the south, an officer set that the south can contend for can consistently object to this. Round for an Oliver. We are regarding this appointment which is really not an appointment with suspicion. It is a master stroke on the part of the administration and will enable its representatives to go before the colored people with the proof positive evidence that a change for the better has taken place. It is sighful and too that this appointment comes close upon the heels of the announcement that President Taft will be a candidate to succeed himself. If the people deserve him so to do. The appointment has not been officially announced and we shall restore our comment until we learn that the official documents are on file at Washington Whether Hon Whitefield McKinley can be confirmed by a Negro hating Republican Democratic United States Senate without the powerful influence of the administration behind it is another question We pause to enquire if President Taft was not powerful enough to secure the confirmation of a white man to that office what chance will he have to secure the confirmation or a Negro for the same office?

Washington July 19 President Tatt will appoint Whitfield McKin- lay of 91st F Street Northwest, a colonel of real estate dealer, collector of a troop of Georgetown to succeed Howard S.

I presume that none of my I/O duties have been out of my way as requesting my name but who are asking and urged it. I do not know. When three days ago some of the staff was in contact that staff was considered. That was a satisfaction that I had. I will the honor of that information and try to find out from the where the former originated but could not tell me since then say some have talked to me about the matter. I know nothing and would like to know what you thought is surprising to me. Wrote to the court that a warrant Law was filed the county I might at trial be held him be be found in the world with the best friends he be found in the world with Secretary D. I don't know what he is for the judge besides President I. NATIVE OF CHARLESTON S C Mckinley was born in Charleston in 1834 and attended Avery Institute in that State until he was seventeen years old when he was appointed to West Point by former President Rancher. He entered the McKinley Academy but remained there for a few months. He returned to his native State and entered the University of South Carolina at left it in 1872 because of the arrest that was closed. McKinley taught school for two and then went to Iowa on the Iowa University and graduated from that institution. He came to Washington in 1851 and was engaged in various pursuits. In 1855 he established the Prairie business in which he is now located at 966 F Street North West. He is at the Fred Douglas House. Wanda Fourteenth Street Southwest. He is secretary and trustee of the organization which had the institution memorial to the deceased in charge. He has served over the home. Wickham was appointed a member of the house commission by former President Roosevelt. This was the only job place that he ever held. These in the know politically in the know some of the creeds of the party attached to Dr W. Wickham the first man who recently was appointed minister to Liberia. Dr Wickham was for a number of wars the director of the port of Charles St. He was appointed to that position former President Roosevelt. A confirmation was held up in the Senate for a long time because of the opposition of Senator T. Man Moss by a friend of Dr. from England and that he has to take the position in politically. The upstart will be able to take the position in politically. The upstart will be able to take the position in politically. The two townships have several battles. Mr. Preston Pat had decided to make a charge in the east about for some time to take the place, and batted it. He had Republican national commander for the Disaster Control Council and close friend of President Roosevelt (Hitchcock). Mr. Iberson's name was sent to the state, but it soon became evident that there was a decided opposition to his concession. This opposition came from sources. There were several states who seemed defensive of fighting charges against Mr. Iberson's connection with a landlord and there were others who were blinded to favor the retention of a landlord. Because of this opposition President Lafay withdrew Mr. Bothera name but later sent it in again. It was still before the Senate for confirmation when Congress adjourned. Shortly after adjournment it was announced that the President had decided to appoint some one else and rumors began to fly that it was planned to appoint a Georgia colored man to the place. This stirred up opposition all over the District and started much criticism of the administration. knights of Khorasan Here Mecen Temple Knights of Khorasan will have a grand banquet on Friday night July 29, 1910 at the Mechanics Savings Bank Roof Garden.

To Fit Themselves for Useful Lives N B. THFFT. Destructive Scale Insect Post Attack All Kinds of Plants—San Jose Most Injurious. Scale insects attack all kinds of plants, including grasses, but are especially injurious to fruit trees. The more common injurious species in this country are San Jose scale, oyster shell, bark house, scoury scale, purple scale, white scale, red scale, molly bugs, etc. The San Jose scale is perhaps the commonest variety. This insect attacks all fruits on badly infest ```markdown ``` Orchard Destroyed by Scale. ed limbs it appears as a grayish scurf, made up of millions of insects. The young individual scale is about half the size of a pin head, round and black. On the fruit the scale makes conspicuous red spots. Its dangerous nature is known to every orchardist who has it to contend with it. It has killed thousands of trees especially peach, and is now sapping the vitality of many thousands more. Scale insects are subject to attacks of a number of natural enemies, included under parasitic and predaceous insects, fungous diseases and birds. These natural enemies are usually sufficient to hold the species somewhat in check with the exception of the San Jose scale, which has become a most important pest. Many artificial remedies have been tried for exterminating scale insects, the most successful being sprays of crude petroleum or kerosene, either undiluted or mixed with water various soap sprays and water salt and sulphur wash. All scale insects may be treated by the same method after it has been determined by experience which process is most effective in any particular locality. In the eastern states excellent success has attended the use of salt salt and sulphur wash, which has also been very effective on the western coast. Different results have been obtained by different experimentors but extensive experiments indicate that kerosene and crude petroleum are very reliable and exceedingly effective insecticides against all scale insects It is generally recommended that trees should be sprayed in winter or during a dormant period with these substances in undiluted condition or mixed with water. If some localities trees have been inhured by using the spray in undiluted form even in winter, on the other hand many experiments have been made which show that these substances in solutions of strengths varying from 15 to 20 per cent may be safely used upon the trees in full foliage. Conservative au thortes on the subject of the value of kerosene and petroleum recommend that these substances be used only in a mechanical mixture of water of different strengths up to about 25 per cent. In general it is recommended that spraying with kerosene should be done only on bright sunshine days, when evaporation is comparatively rapid. Whale on soap in the proportion of two or two and one-half pounds to the gallon of water is also a very effective remedy for scale insects. HORTICULTURAL NOTES If the orchard is made a pasture for hogs or sheep the trees will be injured sooner or later Strawberry rows should be 42 inches apart and the plants set 24 inches apart in the rows By setting a few new trees each year it is not much of a task to replace the old ones that die It does not pay to plant crops in the pench orchard Home people do it, but we believe it is a bad practice Apple pickers should remember that the least puncture to the skin of an apple results sooner or later in a rotten spot Remember that rows which run north and south allow the sun's rays to reach both sides of the plant—a distinct advantage. There are now 100 000 acres of planted trees in central Kansas, where at one time it was thought trees could not be grown. The bruise on an apple may not at once develop-into rot but it will make a brown spot which disfigures and lessens the value of the fruit. The Oregon experiment station has decided that the scab in the prunes which is more or less troublesome to them is caused by the weather and not by fungus growth. In very dry weather fruit-buds are formed quite early, and in case of a wet fall, immature fruit-buds sometimes change into leaf-buds. Most small fruits form their fruit-buds in the spring. It is practicable to grow strawberries in the center of the space between the rows of trees in an orchard, provided the orchard is not shaded. It would be wise, however, not to plant more than three rows of strawberries. Water for Plants If the season is a dry one some of the plants in the garden will have to be watered if you want flowers from them. This is especially true of the dahila. Use enough water to penetrate all the soil in which their roots grow, and see that it is kept moist. Watering today and neglected for a week to come isn't the proper thing.

It is done on a griddle or in a frying pan, which is heated hissing hot, the meat put on it without any fat, cooked one minute, then turned to the other side, then cooked until done, turning very often, so that the juices will be retained. When carefully done it has almost the flavor of steaks or chops cooked over the coals, although not quite equal. If a loaf of bread has become stale, hold it under water for one second, then place in a brisk oven for a quarter of an hour. It will taste like new bread. To mend an umbrella take a small piece of black sticking plaster and soak it in water until quite soft. Place this carefully under the hole inside, and let dry. This will be found to be better than darning, as it closes the hole neatly without stitches. When you are troung any dark meterial do not put a linen cloth underneath, as the lint will come off on the stuff and you will have great difficulty in brushing it off again. Wash white silk gloves at night in warm sinks rinse well and dry. Dry them in daylight cause them to turn yellow. Don't fill a saucepan which has been burned with soda water for though this will remove the burned food it will make the saucepan liable to burn again when next it is used Instead of soda water fill the saucepan with salt and water and leave till next day, then slowly bring it to the boil In this way the burned particles of food will come off and the cleaning of the saucepan will cause no bad after effects SIMPLE AND DAINTY DESSERTS Directions for Preparing Jellied Apples—Flg Compute Guaranteed to Please All Jellied apples is a simple sweet for dessert, and fig compote as easily made, may follow it the next day. Jellied apples are made richer by the addition of a big lump of butter and chopped seeded raisins. The raisins give a delightful flavor. Slow large pooled and cored apples in a thick sugar and water strup, having enough to cover them all the time, remove them carefully and put into a deep dish add the juice of a lemon to half a cup of water and a dissolved dessertspoonful of gelatine, pour on the warm strup stir well and strain over the apples. When firm lift the dish and set on a glass one. Fig Compote - Put a pound of figs into water enough to cover and let them stand all night. In the morning pour off the water and gently simmer till thick a little sugar may be added if it does not thicken enough. Put the figs into a flat dish and when the strup is clear and very stiff, pour it over, let it grow then serve with cream. Be Practical. One of the first requisites for the sowing room is a long counter on which to cut, and that household which is not overburdened with tables should count itself lucky. Here lies the chance to supply a long, plain wooden counter for the family cutter. All work in the sowing room, whether it be that of the merest amateur or the heavy professional, is rendered far more rapid and accurate if the material be not allowed to slip from the table every few moments. Men do not work without proper implements; yet it would seem a common habit with oven the most systematic woman to "scrapm along somehow." Do not do it.

FOR PERFECT WEDDING CAKE The Following is 3 Reliable Recipe Containing All the Toothsome Sweets Imaginable The fruit should be prepared the day before making the cake. Cream together one pound unsalted butter and one pound of sugar. Stift together a pound of pastry flour and a tea spoonful each of cloves, clamsman, mace and nutting and a saltspoonful of salt and set near the fire where the flour will be thoroughly dry. For the fruit have ready four pounds rinses seeded and quartered and dredged with flour the contents of currants or their equivalent in dawn figs or prunes soak and slightly cooked, then chopped a pound of citron shaved as fine as possible one half pound ground almonds and a half pound each caked lemon and orange peel shredded. For the moisture have measured out one cup of confectioners' nooses two thirds of a cup rich fruit syrup from preserved strawberries and the grated plums and juice of one lemon and one orange. A half gall of brandy may be added or not as preferred. Hasting creamed the butter and sugar and add 12 unbaked cream one at a time using the hands to heat them in instead of a spoon. When well blended add part of the liquid then part of the flour mixture. When all have been used heat in a half teaspoonful dissolved in a little warm water and then mix in all the fruit excepting the citron. When thoroughly blended put a half inch layer of the batter in a pan that has been filled with several thicknesses of paper, taking care that the paper comes well above the edge of the tin. Cover with a uniform layer of citron shavings then an earlier layer of the batter and citron having the last layer of the dough. Cover closely and set away overnight. In the morning bake five hours in a steady, moderate oven, protecting the top of the cake with paper till sufficiently risen, or steam, then bake. When partially cooled, ice with the white of one egg boaten stiff with confectioner's sugar. When this is cooled and hardened the decorative lining may be applied. TO FOLLOW SUNDAY DINNER Novel Dessert Certain to Please All Who Are Privileged to Par For the foundation of a novel and palatable dessert take a fresh baked cottage pudding or some stale cake, which must be steamed enough to moltenen and undil warm. As it must be prepared several hours before serving time, it is especially adapted for a Sunday dinner dessert. Open a quart can of blackberries, pour into an agate saucapan and bring to the boiling point. Move to back of range to keep warm until wanted. Place squares of the warm cake or pudding in an earthware pudding dish. Cover with generous spoonfuls of the hot berries and juice, then another layer of the cake, packing it in well, then more berries. Alternate until the dish is full, using plenty of the fruit, as the cake will absorb a quantity of juice. Cover with a plate and place thereon a heavy weight—a flatiron will answer. When cool, put in the refrigerator, and at serving time it should be turned out of the mold and allied evenly. Berve with thick, rich cream. Old Colonial Hami Prepare and boll the ham just the same as an "Old Maryland Haked Ham." After the skin is removed (after the ham has been boiled), cut a generous slice out of the outside of the ham and fill it in with old Maryland filling (the same that you can to fill fowls with), then stock the ham full of cloves, sprike with black pepper, bread crumbs, and brown sugar, and put it in the oven to bake a slice brown. This ham was used for dinner on Easter Sunday in colonial times. Pennsylvania. Frozen to Death in July.

ADOPT MILEAGE PAY SYSTEM Ten Hours to Be a Day's Work and High Pay Runa Protected—Employees Guaranteed Twenty-six Days' Work Each Month. A tentative settlement of the Pennsylvania railroad wage dispute was reached at a long conference in Philadelphia between General Manager Myers and the subcommittee of the employees. Both sides feel confident that a plan of settlement has been reached and only the appearance of some new differences in the working out of details can prevent an amicable agreement The terms of the settlement have the New York Central award as a basis. The company will effect a change in the working conditions changing from the trip" system of pay to the "mileage system. Men now holding runs with high pay are to be protected. A minimum of ten hours as a day is work to be established and the six hour minimum to be abolished. Men are guaranteed twenty six working days a month. The men assert that the settlement is due to a clearing up of misunderstandings. The company asserts it has made no concessions other than those offered six weeks ago. No further conferences are to be held between the committee and General Manager Myers unless some unforeseen developments arise. The details of the plans of settlement will now be taken up by the representatives of the several divisions with the general division superintendents to be worked out as they apply to the conditions of the particular divisions. There are seven general divisions of the system. A B Garrettson president of the Order of Railway Conductors, immediately after the conference left the city on the Pennsylvania eighteen hour limited for Cedar Rapids to attend a meeting of the board of directors of his organization. W G Lee president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen will remain in the city for a few days to be on hand in case his presence is required. Both sides deny that any marked concessions were made Official of the company dollar that what the men wanted was $494 for a minimum day of ten hours and what they got was $3.63 The men say the clearing up of misunderstandings marked the coming to gather of both sides. They point to President McCrea's statement issued last Friday as proving to them that the company misunderstood the demands of the men. At both conferences all efforts to impress General Manager Myers with the contention that the company had always educated its men to expect higher pay for the same class of work done by men on competing times was abandoned. The men now declare the only concessions to be granted was on the amount of pay on overtime to which they accepted 37 cents an hour instead of 40 cents an hour A B.

His business affairs have been put into the hands of a receiver. This announcement was made in Pittsburgh. The exact nature of the failure is not yet known, and no definite figures have been given out. It is announced however, that Colonel Guffey's liabilities are less than $700,000, and that his assets are easily worth $17,000,000. Inability to realize on his assets which consist largely of coal lands in West Virginia, is said to be the reason for Colonel Guffey's embarrassment. John M. Galey, one of Mr Guffey's creditors, and a farmer business partner, went into common pleace, Court No. 4, and asked for a receiver for the oil and coal king. John B. Willard, of Pittsburg, was appointed receiver and was placed under $100,000 bond. Colonel Guffey issued a statement expressing regret, that it had become necessary that his affairs be placed in the hands of a receiver, but that it would afford protection to himself as well as to all of his creditors. "My assets are more than double the amount of my obligations, and I do not expect the receivorship to continue for any great length of time," said Mr. Guffey. The receivorship bill filed alleges that Colonel Guffey has not the逗ry money with which to meet the claims of some creditors who have threatened to sell his collateral.

Theodore Roosevelt hopes the Oblt Republicans will adopt a progressive platform but taking an attitude in life with that of President Taft he declines to exert influence for any occasion in the ante convention situation. He made this plan in New York for a conference with Judge Ralph Kinkade of Toltec who was regarded as the second choice of those who are publishers who are supporting James R. Garfield secretary of the interior for the gubernatorial nomination. It is understood that Mr Garfield had a hand in Judge Kinkade's visit and that Garfield's supporters have agreed to throw their strength to the judge Mr Garfield is not nominated. Neither Colonel Roosevelt nor Judge Klinkade would discuss their conference nor would either of them reveal the contenta of the letter which Judge Klinkade bore from President Taft with whom he talked on Sunday. Colonel Roosevelt virtually admitted how ever that his approval of the cannibalacy of Judge Klinkade for the Republican nomination for governor of Ohio had been sought when he said, "I cannot support any candidate for a nomination. I can only say that I hope a progressive platform will be adopted in Ohio." PUT HER HEAD IN GAS OVEN Crazed by Death of Child, Delaware Woman Kills Herself.

Interest in the mysterious murder of which Dr Hawley Harvey Crippen formally a resident of Brooklyn, N.Y., is suspected, centered in the Inquest in London Eng. over the body that is believed to be that of Belle Elmore the physician's actress wife. While an unremitting search was made in New York, Philadelphia, France and Great Britain for Crippen, the inquest opened with the hope that physicians and experts would be able to clear away some of the mystifying circumstances of the case. Instead of clarifying the situation the inquest only enveloped the crime in deeper mystery. Far from establishing the identity of the victim found in Crippen's cellar buried in quick time, the physicians were unable to state definitively even that the portions of the body recovered were those of a woman. The formal evidence adduced at the inquest added nothing material to what was already generally known. The only startling fact developed was that the expatriate were not even in a position to state defensively whether the boneless mass of all living up under the cellar floor was that of a woman. Because of this it was decided to adjourn the inquest a month to give Dr Pepper examiner in surgery at the Royal Army Medical college opportunity to make a complete examination of the places of flash. Several witnesses reported the history of the known current as surrounding the tragedy from the time that suspicion first fell upon the Clippen to the hour of his flight and the discovery of the body. The Police Story. Dew an Inspector of Scotland Yard, took up the thread of the narrative. He said that he first visited Ethel Le Neve at the Clippen residence. The woman on that occasion told him that BELLE ELMORE. she was Cripple's housekeeper later the inspector went to Cripple's office and had a talk with the doctor. At this time the witness said the doctor admitted that all of the things which he had previously told of his wife's death were untrue. He said he had quarried with Mrs Crippon on the night of Jan 31 and that following the quarrel she had left him saving that she intended to join a man who the doctor said he believed lived in Chicago. With the body uncovered in the cellar the inspector said he found a piece of string and a man handkerchief which might have been used to strangle the victim including the jacket of a suit of pajamas, the trousers of which were subsequently found in an upper room of the house. The witness added that he had not heard a word from Crippen or Etchil Le Nove since July 9 when they left the Crippen house. On that day they sent a note to the servant saying "Do not worry. We are going to the theater." Questioned in detail as to the finding of the body I was said that at the first of his examinations of the house he found some loose bricks in the basement floor. He removed the bricks and dog into the earth beneath. At a depth of two feet he uncovered the mass of human flesh. The largest piece was less than twelve inches in length. Not a bone was discovered. The pieces of flesh seemed to have been carved off the skeleton. The head, foot and hands were missing. Quick lime covered the grusome object. Dr Thomas Marshall, one of the surgeons who conducted the post mortem examination testified that he had not been able to find a trace of the bones, and could not swear, on anatomical grounds, whether the members were those of a male or female. Pieces of flesh, he said, had given rise to some debate among the medical man, but so far he had been unable to definitively decide the sex. The murderer, the surgeon said, had not only obliterated the cause of death, but also the sex of the deceased. The witness said that a microscopical examination which might disclose more than war now known, was proceeding.

Boy Fatally Gored While he was training a bird on owls at his father's farm outside of Altoona Pa Emory Wyoming eight years was attached by a large Bolstein bull which some boy had previously been teaching. The boy had lost was quickly cailed in the bulls horts and tossed in the air. When he came down the interior animal groomed him in the back and as the lad toled over ripped the fast owl's rits exposing his lungs the galloped away. Despite his horrific injuries the boy walked 600 feet to his home. He will die. Avengers Kill Wrong Man Albert Lehr thirty eight years old was killed by the Italianans employed on a section gang while he was standing on the platform of the lake Shore depot at Kendallville Ind. The shooting is thought to be the outcome of the accidental killing of an Italian by a Lake Shore freight train three weeks ago. The Italianans blamed the engineer and threatened vengeance against him. Lehr was probably mistaken for the engineer.

The dribble balloon Erbailoch recently relied for passenger service was destroyed in midair through the explosion of a bourne tank at Lehlingen Rhönish Prussia. Her inventor Captain Oscar Erbailoch and his crew of four men were killed. The bodies of the aviators were frightfully managed by the fall to earth. The gondola was torn to碎片 and the motor buried itself beneath the surface of the ground. There were witnesses of the accident. According to those the start was well made.

Suddenly there was a loud report and at the moment the fore part of the vessel crumple up and the gondy was twisted about until it appeared as though standing on one end. As the gondy escaped from the forward compartment the prow swayed downward. For a flash the airship fluttered like a wounded bird and then fell swiftly to earth. Captain Erkalb and his companions were killed the second time struck the ground. Their heads were battered in and every limb was bruised. ARRESTED FOR USING MAILS TO DEFRAUD Five Men Worked Premium Scheme at Easton. Alexander Simon Simon Corner, Al exander Palmer, H K Curple and Ben Jamin E. Corner were committed to the Easton, Pa. jail, charged with fraudulent use of the mails. The arrests were made by postal inspectors. The accused are said to have made a handsome thing out of a premium scheme they worked in a variety of ways. They started to do business as the Globe Weekly Journal Publishing company, of Portland Me., and later were known as the New York Premium company, of New York city. Trouble arose after the complaint of victims in their publication subscription plans that they could never get the premiums offered. The officers are after a man named Weingartner, who was associated with the New York end of the game. One of the schemes used by the canvassers for the company was to sell eighty-nine books for 10 cents apiece, one book at a time, and when all was sold for a total of $9.80, the subcriber was to get a premium of $5.

Many of the men shut out of the shops have taken train service and the union officials bitterly denounce the company for closing the shops at this time and thereby forcing 10,000 men into the line. They declare that such a move will be simple justification for a strike of the engineers and the graphics although there there is no interest of any such move. The latest calculation of the number of men shut out by the strike and lockout to date is about 100,000 others who are literally affected. It is not difficult to say that the object of the ground work in closing its shops is to force the ship employees, many of whom are all trained to take the strike. The union only allows the strike to the extent it will succeed.

The Prayer Meeting on the Mountain Top VIII. I take 9 28 29. 'And after six days' Luke counts the parts of days before and after these six. These six days were a period of incubation, of crystallization of the sand, den revelation of the way Jesus must act his part as the Messiah, and that they must share a cross instead of a throne, which threw them into the gloom of the dungeon of Giant Heap. "Jesus taketh Peter James, and John." It was the same question three who a few months later were nearest to him as he praised in Gothsromane, and still later were recognized as "pillars" of the church (Gal. 2. 29). Luke 19:28-29 tells us that Jesus went up into the mountain to pray and that the Transfiguration took place while he prayed. What did they pray for? It must have been for light, for strength for guidance for help. The answer Through the Transfiguration—Vs 24 While he was praying (Luke) and in answer to his prayer, he was transfigured before them "And his face did shine as the sun" Nothing less than the brightest and most glorious of all objects within knowledge—so bright that it destroys the eye to gaze directly upon it could express the radiant glories of Jesus face, when his heavenly nature shone through the veil of his flesh, one of the few hints as to our resurrection bodies. Compare the description of Jesus in Acts 9:3 and In Rev. 1:16 "And his ralment was white as the light, I e, luminously white, as no fuller on earth can white them (Mark) I e with a supernatural whiteness, white and glistering (Luke) "Then answered Peter not to any question, but to the feelings the same awakened. Lord it is good for us to be here. Peter spoke the truth. The experience who good and would make him a better and more useful man all the rest of his life. It widened his outlook. It gave him a new idea of the glory that awaited the faithful. It exalted his knowledge of Jesus power and glory and gave strength to his trust in him 'The Divine Testimony' - Vs. 58 'While he yet spoke was speaking' 'A bright cloud revealing the divine presence an incarnation of the shef fable light of God telling its glory, yet making it visible to man, as the cloud that zeil the sun enable us who cannot gaze into his face yet to see his beauty and glory' "And behold a voice out of the cloud." The same voice which had been heard once before at his baptism "This is my beloved son." Adding the voice of God to the attestation of the scene itself and interpreting the scene This truth must be impressed upon the disciples so that they should never lose their faith even in the dark times that were to follow, and while others were calling Jesus a criminal and blasphemer the disciples could always see him in his true glory "Hear ye him." For he is the ambassador of God bringing the message of love from heaven "Hear" implies faith and obedience. Some lessons from the Transfiguration—1 Our richest and most heavenly experiences come in and through prayer, and often from united prayer "Tell me your prayers and I will write the history of a soul." Coming Down from the Mountain and the Work Awailing Them There —Vs 9 18 On the way down the disciples asked Jesus about a subject which perplexed them They could not understand how it could be true that Elijah was a glorified spirit and Jesus the Messiah and yet the promise be fulfilled that Elijah must come before the Messiah Jesus explained that John the Baptist coming in the spirit and power of Elijah was the fulfillment of that prophecy Jesus forbade them to tell the vision they had seen Conclusion A lesson on Faith —Vs 19 20 "Then came the disciples to Jesus apart" in the house (Mark), away from all that were curious and faultfinding Ministers sometimes proclaim to the world the faults of the church to be overcome when they should discuss them with the church alone "Why could not we cast him out?" They were puzzled, and disappointed especially as he had conferred on them authority to heal 20 "And Jesus said Be cause of your unbelief" r v "your little faith" Illustration. God says to a man do the work of a thousand men. But that is harder than to remove moun talks. Sat Christian civilization has invented machinery by which any man can do it. The faith on this low plans, that has worked patiently, steadily, with God's physical powers. and wrought seeming impossibilities is an illustration of the power of spiritual faith taking hold of God. And this is more than an illustration. The conquering physical impossibilities has been one means through which the moral impossibilities have been overcome. SOME GOOD SALADS SOME GOOD SALADS DISHES THAT CALL FOR LITTLE PREPARATION Mayonnaise With Olives is One of the Recognized Standby's - Vegetable Left Overs Always to Be Used to Advantage. A Quick Salad. The housekeeper who is also enough to keep a small quantity of mayonnaise on hand finds many quick yet delicious salads pen to her laterally at a moment's notice. If kept near the door the dressing will remain sweet several days and given say a bottle of olive's a tasty salad is a matter of five minutes preparation. Cut the olives in half and stone them. Place a fig on each plate in a little nest of lettuce and top off each portion with a spoonful of mayonnaise. Vegetable Left-Overs Another good salad which may be now to many home caterers is composed of two vegetable left overs or cold cooked potato flower and peas, held in the canopy into another large piece, arrange them in a wider strip on a crisp leaf leaves. In the center of the ring have a cupful or so of cold cooked peas. Sprinkle with French dressing and a tasty blossomful of mayonnaise to each portion as it is served. For the entertainer who desires something a little out of the usual run of salads there is still another variation of the popular tomato jelly combination, which is filled with nuts has been already described. It is both novel and delicious of flavor. Tomato and Celery Salad Took one half and fourteen three-thirds cups, one half a bay leaf, one teaspoon of salt and a little red pepper for 15 minutes. Add one quarter of a box of gelatine softened in one half cup of cold water. Stir until dissolved and strain into a border mold. When firm turn out on a bed of lettuce leaves and fill the center with finely cut celery, apple and broken english walnuts molested with boiled dressing. Waldorf Salad This salad is composed of equal parts of celery and chopped sour apples dressed with seasonal. Delicious Corned Beef Cut a fat brisket piece of beef the size desired. Powder a small piece of salt peter, as large as a pea, and rub it thoroughly all over the meat. Cut one or two cloves of garlic very fine mix with pepper, salt and a little ginger and rub well into the meat, let it stand over night. In the morning make a brine as follows. Pour three plates of boiling water over two small cups of salt it boils in a few minutes. Cool and pour over the meat. Put in two or three cubes of sugar and some alliance. Keep well under the brine and it will be ready to use in five days. Wash it carefully, cover with cold water and cook it very slowly for five hours or until tender. It should be well skinned. If to be used cold, let it cool in the liquid. Bolled Sandwiches Six ounces of cooked chopped chicken meat, two ounces of cooked chopped ham or tongue, two hopping tablespoonfuls of butter, a good dust of red pepper, brown bread three tablespoonfuls mayonnaise two tablespoonfuls chopped parsley. Add the butter to the chopped chicken meat, ham or tongue, mix thoroughly add red pepper, parsley and rub through a slow. Cut some slices of brown bread, trim off the crusts and butter the slices. Mix the purée above prepared with the mayonnaise and spread the buttered side of the bread with this roll up firmly each slice, then roll in wax paper. Any other kind of cooked meat may be used in place of chicken. Pork Chops With Green Peppers One tablespoonful of butter in a frying pan and heat pot in pork chops and brown quickly on both sides, cover with boiling water and one green pepper chopped fine adding the seed also, season with salt and let simmer one half to three quarters of an hour. Thicken the gravy with flour and water and pour over the chops when serving. Pork chops cooked after this recipe can be prepared early in the day with the exception of thickening the gravy which should be done just before serving. Junket Variation That time honored dish of the in valid junket would scarcely be re- ognised when prepared with an egg Beat the milk until lukewarm, then attr in a lightly beaten egg to every pint. Pass through a strainer and add the rennet in the usual way. Sugar, wine, vanilla or other flavoring is added to the milk before rennet. This gives consistency enough to turn from cups as a custard Heap top with whipped cream in colls or roses by passing through a pastry tube. Oatmeal Water A prepared food book says to take a handful of oatmeal, pour over a quart of boiling water and let stand over night. Make fresh every day. I use the bulk oatmeal and have found it clean so far Chicken, Dumping, Hole When making chicken with dumplings use the fat skimmed from the stewed chicken as shortening for the biscuit. They will be rich, light and taste, much, better than those made with butter or lard. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. PUTTING UP THE PINEAPPLE Only Proper Method of Preserving This Fruit, as It Should Be Done, in Slices. Cut in shoes using always a silver knife or if you work rapidly, a steel one dipping it every moment or two in a pan or cold water by the dish in which you are cutting the fruit. This is essential as the acid of the pine makes the steel coarse very quickly. Augmenting a disagreeable taste to the fruit. Visit a jar for carefully using a glass of vinegar if you will or the pot for knife to remove every part of the fruit. Taste and wedge. Allow the contents of a sugar to each pound of fruit. Spritkne the sugar over the sliced fruit which on no account should be left in and let stand over night. In the morning to turn pineapple and the thick juice which covers it into the preserving kettle adding for each pound of fruit a quarter cup of water. Cook ten to ten minutes take out the slices without breaking and spread on a platter in the sun or in the oven while the slurp is allowed to simmer gently until quite rich and thick. Return the fruit to the kettle cook top in minutes longer, put into sterilized with melted cans, using for further filling to overflowing with the sealing jar and seal.

To Clean Willow. Do not use warm water or a strong alkali soap for cleaning willow chairs. Dust the chair and scrub it lightly with tepid water containing a few drops of kerosene to remove hand marks and grasse. Naphth soap will not destroy the varnish. Wipe the suds from the willow or wicker chair and dry in the sun. A solution of oxalic acid and water can be used on unvarnished wood or willow furniture and bleaching properties of the acid will make the articles like new.

JURGEN'S SON, ADAMS AND BROAD STREETS ```markdown ``` COLORED PUGS HAVE DONE WELL in THE MINOR CLASS Johnson Only One to Rise to Pinnacle of "Pugilistic Fame Gans a Wonderful Fighter—Parmon Allen Prows Before Entering the Ring. The rise of John Arthur Johnson to the highest pinnacle of pugilistic fame, a feat never before accomplished by one of his race, has increased the interest of the public in the fighting ability of the colored man and his record in the roped arena. There have been several great negative pugilistic acts with ring history known that. But there have been some remarkable colored froaks whose performances within the ropes have contributed more to the lighter side of pugilistic literature than to the records of achievement. As a general rule unless he was equipped with a good white manager, the negro has had little chance to get out of the minor class, but what he has done is in his ring. Most ring followers will tell you that Joe Sons was the greatest fighter or the black race ever turned out. There were the Dixons, the Walcots the Peter Jacksons and all the rest but to Gans the palm goes, because he fought longer than any of them and whipped more good men. That Gans fought crooked fights is admitted but he did so under arrows and when he cut out fights fought several years in a manner that won him praise. Yet early in his career Gans saw the seamy side of the ring. Somebody saw him in a rough-and-tumble fight around the Baltimore fish markets where he worked and put him in a preliminary bout. Gans won, and continued to fight for $6 a fight, until Al Herford took charge of him. The lanky negro developed rapidly and became the star attraction at Herford's club. In time nobody of his weight around Baltimore could stand before him so Herford got a lot of big men to come and fight him. He was a cub driver named Jones, a 200 pounder who was known as the St. Marys County Bully" because he had cleaned up everything in that section of Maryland Jones had been doing very well in preliminary bouts one night Herford put him on with Gans in the main bout. SECONDS THROW UP SPONGE For a round or two things went Will Jones trodden above the clu- sive cynical Gans but the Light weight slid in and out and hit the bully at will. Finally he put an extra hard one of his famous rippling hooks on Jones' mouth and the bully got mad. He got Gans into a clutch, and with his right arm arm began a tattoo on the smaller negro's kidneys that sounded like somebody chopping up meat Gans could put twist out of the bully's iron gramp and things looked bad. At this juncture Al Herford acted quickly Gans happened to be worth about $15,000 a year to Herford, and the promoter had no notion of allow- ing his meal ticket to be punched full of holes all at once. So into the ring from the direction of Gans' corner came towels sponged water bottles and everything else in sign of defection. The crowd was busy in the St Mary's corner. He made and made so much noise the referee could not hear Herford's fractic appeals to him to stop the fight. But he saw the sponges and towels, and glancing over in Gans' corner, saw the agonized expression on Herford's face Wherecupon he stopped the bout. Afterward the St Mary's county man, who was supposed not to hurt Gans whatever happened, explained himself. "I wasn't gain" to let that Battimore bigger cut me all up withoutten I done something" to him back again. Jones was immediately wiped off Herford's list and went back to his bath. FEROCIOUS AT TIMES Gans was rarely a vicious negro but sometimes the taunts of the spectators or his opponent would drive him to the point of ferocity. On two particular occasions he manifested this spirit. Once in Baltimore they brought a big white mechanic up from the shipyard at Spartanburg. The pain was letting him do fairly well and was making a good exhibition of the fight. Once on twice the big man landed hard on Gans. "Kill him!" the crowd would yell. "Kill the nigger!" Finally the Sparrows Point man walked to the ropes and raised his hand for alliance. Gans stood aside, watching him with that peculiar, plaintive pucker he always wore when fighting. The goodness make stop tolling me kill the white man naked the crowd. "Every time you yell that he hides harder. The crowd stopped and the fight dragged out the usual fifteen rounds. Around the fight clubs of Baltimore and Washington are two famous negroes. Alce Brown is one and Parson Allen is the other. Alce is the champion "battle royal" scraper of Baltimore and Washington. The parson is a tough nut, who is the night of charity and who always prepares for an afterward answering the gong for the first. The "battle royal" is a great candle as a preliminary in the Baltimore fight clubs. Four negroes are put in the ring at the same time, one entering from each corner. The man who is on his feet after the other three are knocked out wins the purse, the limit of which on a generous estimate is usually about $10. Alce Brown' is pastmaster at the art of keeping out of danger until the psychological moment, then whaling away and cleaning out the ring. But as an individual man-to-man scraper Alec is no great shakes. He knows that now, but up to last summer he had different ideas. The downfall of Alec came on a river boat, which was carrying a nugro excursion down the Potomac from Washington. There was a battle royal, and Alec was an easy victor. ALLEN WN8 H18 FIGHT But his dusky audience had not seen enough fighting. On the boat was Parson Allen. Recently Allen had come from Richmond, Va. He had no regular church, but was an evangelist with a wallop in his black shoulders and arms that had to be felt to be appreciated. He says and there is some corroborative evidence in his favor, that all the money he earns fighting goes to a negro orphanage. Going back to Richmond, Alcé was asked if, for an extra $10 purse, he would take a turn with the parson. The deck of the river boat was rooony, and Alcé, flushed with his triumph in the battle royal, to win which had cost him little exertion, readily agreed. The parson was led forth. Now Alec Brown is about 5 feet 7 inches to height, and weighs not quite 150 pounds. He can hit an awful kick with either hand. The parson is a shade heavier than Alec Before starting to battle with his dept either the brown knelt him upon the deck and prayed to the Lord for power to conquer Alec. Meanwhile Alec looked on and laughed. Finishing his devotions, the parson arose and announced that he was ready to begin. No white man saw that fight, but the negroes say it was worth walking miles to wilt nausea. One of them, describing it, said. They niggers went at one nuth or like a couple 'o goats. All sorts of rules went, and they jes matchery but, and plainly, and another over the bank. When they'd land it sounded like somebody maul'n rats. Abe hit the parson, but he couldn't stop him. The longer they fought the stronger the parson got. He told Abe he was an imp o' Satan, and that the good Lord had sent him to show him the evil o' his ways. And great Gawd how the parson did beat Abe. Soon as he saw Abe was tired he sailed in and knocked him out so cold it took half the water in the Potomac to bring him IRONS IN HIS GLOVES Last winter in a preliminary fight in Baltimore the parson ran into something new to him. It turned out to be a goil trick one often heard of but rarely played. The parson was fighting a bussy Baltimore negro for three rounds the work was caught after the third round the parson called to the referee. Look at Mr. Referee, he said, that nigger is hurtin' me powerful. I never had a nigger hit me and hurt me that way befo' I wish you'd take a louse in his glues. I believe he's got horseshoes in 'em. The referee made the parson's opponent take off his gloves, and, aureo bound a couple of strips of iron. The parson's suspicion of horseshoes was not far off. They made the negroes' iron bands off, but the parson was so far gone that he was an 'awk for the rest or the fight. A real remarkable ending marked a joke fight between two negroes held in Jefferson just outside the raceway during the racing season a few winter's ago. One of the negroes, Jack Nickon, was a fairly good lightweight, a second rater who would have done well if he had properly handled. The other was a dub' picked up to stay so man) rounds with Nixon After beating the dub for two or three rounds the duck show. He whipped in a couple of hard ones and got his vicinity thoroughly groggy. The ring was pitched on bare ground in a clump of trees. One of the corner posts was a stone hitch post that once marked the front of the stone post soldiered in the top of the stone post the top rope had been run HOW THE "DUB" WON The dub was staggeringly blindly in the corner of the ring, about 6 feet in front of the stone post. Nixon walked up to him, and measuring the distance, let fly a terrific swing which he thought would be the finishing blow. At the psychological moment the dub rotated to one side He hardly saw Nixon in front of him, and was too fearful to defend himself either locking or slide-stopping. Lock just happened to smile on him, and he lurched aside as Nixon started the knock-out blow. The result was startling. Nixon missed his man by 6 inches. His foot slipped, and, carried forward by the momentum of his own blow he fell against the stone post booth where the dub had been standing. His head hit the post a terrific wave, and Nixon rolled over on his back senseless. Now while the dub was continuing his wandering about the ring, but as he hit his foot, and as Nixon lay inert for more than the regulation ten seconds, the dub was declared the winner and given a fair-sized purse. — Washington Post, July 17, 1910. $150.00 Endowment Paid.

Gives More Practical Results and Is Easier to Use—Material Leaves Tub in Excellent Condition, Soft and White. Now the housekeeper must begin to think of washing and putting away the winter blankets. It is a mistake says an authority, to do the laundering with soap. Ammonia does the work much more easily and makes the blanket much whiter and softer than soap can without a tremendous deal of rubbing and other back-breaking exertion. Put about a cupful or more of ammonia into the washub if a single blanket is to be washed, allowing twice as much for a double blanket. Lay the blanket loosely in the tub and pour over it just barely enough hot water to cover it. About two gallons of water will be necessary for every cupful of ammonia. Move the blanket about with a wooden stick for about 12 minutes, so that the ammonia fumes will have a chance to reach every particle of the surface. No soap or rubbing is necessary except possibly around the item, as the ammonia draws out all the dirt. When the water is discolored and the blanket is nice and white, rinse it in fresh water. Do not wring it, but squeeze it lightly with the hands. Wringling pulls it out of shape. As soon as the blanket is properly rinsed, hang it at once upon the line letting the water drip from it while drying. Optionally while it is drying, squeeze the ends with hands being careful not to pull the fiber. When perfectly dry, bring it into the house and then press it with heavy weights, if not perfectly smooth. No ironing. Some housewives dry blankets on curtain stretches. They say that the blanket keeps its shape better and, of course there is no possibility of its shrinking. Needless to say a sunny day should be selected for the work. The more quickly a blanket dries the less it shrinks and the better it looks. When the blanket has a colored border as it usually has care should be taken that it does not overlap as the color may run. Some Uses of Soap A bar of common yellow soap will stop a mouse hole effectively, make bureau drawers and windows which are inclined to stick work smoothly, take the pain from a burn cut up fine (quarter of a bar) and dissolved in hot, strong borax water it will clean plated silver ware it will silver soak for two or three hours in the solution and little rubbing will be needed. Combined with brown sugar soap will bring a painful swelling to a head and draw out a splinter from under the finger nail. Rubbed on a nail it will prevent the wood through which it is driven from splitting. This is often used by carpenters, who drive the nail through a bar of soap before using Mixed with stone blocking, it lessens the labor of applying and improves results. It will stop a leak in a boiler, in emergency cases and quickly removes the odor of perspiration. It will also serve as a substitute for wax to point darging yarn. The inner wrappers are useful to clean flatners. Chicken Tamales For chicken tamales take three cupfuls cooked chicken meat, six red peppers, quarter of a cupful chopped onion, half a cupful vinegar one cupful fine bread crumbs one cupful tomatos, ten chopped ollies, one egg, seasoning of salt, pepper and pepitas. Chop the chicken meat. Chop peppers and onion and sink in vinegar for one hour and add in seasoned ingredients. Shape like croquettes in corn meal and wrap in corn husks. Tle the ends to keep the mixture in Steam for three hours. Dry in the oven for 15 minutes. Serve hot. English Cloth Balls A little different is the English method of using homemade cloth balls to remove grease. Moltenen a half pound of dry fuller' earth in a little lemon juice. Add a half ounce of finely pulverized pearl ash and work it into a thick paste. Roll into small balls and dry in the sun or near the fire. In a few hours they will be ready for use. When needed moltenen the spot with warm water and rub with the balls. Place in the sun to dry and then brush off the powder or wash if necessary Strawberry Rolls. Mix biscuit dough and turn out on board. Cut into eight even pieces. Roll each in a long narrow strip about one half inch thick. Place two rows of whole strawberries on each one and sprinkle with sugar. Roll up and place in a shallow pan with the folder in the bottom. Place the so will they just touch and sprinkle sugar on each and blis of butter. Put one teaspoon of hot water on each and bake in quick oven. Dellellous. Sorry hot. French Roast Get a pound of round steak, cut thick. Cut into three or four pieces, put into a frying pan and brown, being careful pot to scorch it. Cover with water and add salt and a small onion cut into small pieces and let all stew slowly, renewing water when needed, until it can be cut with a fork. It takes about three hours. Let the water boil away some at the last and thicken the gravy with flour. Even stew beef cooked in this way is good. Peperminte. Two tumblers granulated sugar, one half tumbler cold water. Boil minute minutes without stirring from the time it begin to boil. Removes from the fire, add eight drops of oil of peppermint and stir until white and creamy. Drop quickly on wax paper. "Home Again!" The Return of Roosevelt Plans For the Reception In New York—His Western Tour--Will He Run For the Presidency Again? By JAMES A. EDGERTON. PHOTOS. © UNDERWOOD K. UNDERWOOD WHEN THE KAISERIN AUGUSTE VICTORIA PASSES THE STATUE OF LIBERTY. [Copyright 1910 by American Press Association] WHEN Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, faunal naturalist, college lecturer and first citizen, steams up New York bay on June 18 he will be not by a reception committee of all the noises that ever have been and some others that are manufactured for the occasion. A WHEN Colonel Theodore Rosevelt, faunal naturalist, college lecturer and first citizen, steams up New York bay on June 16 he will be met by a reception committee of all the noises that ever have been and some others that are manufactured for the occasion. A faint suggestion of these acoustic disturbances would look something as follows. Crack' Boom' Toot' toot' Hurray! Has anybody here been Teddy? Three cheers' (followed by three cheers and several pauses) What's the matter with the toy? Teddy' Boom' Toot' Whoo!' Woo!' Rosevelt forever! He's coming! Yeee-choo-oo' Rooz' Rooz' Tumpet-tumpet tump! On owow! Hurray for Toddy' Hoppa! Hat to the chief! My country is too' Booml Crash' Rake this to the 16th power, then proclaim it to the infinitely and you will have the beating of a hint of what will happen on the noblest of days. It will be a wonder. Everybody will be in New York, that day either in person or by proxy. And everybody that is at all so fortunate will be making some kind of sounds. Most of these sounds will be loud—at least as loud as their authors can contriate. The din thereof will have New Year's night and the fourth of July rolled into one and then have enough noise left over to supply a large and busy collection of holder factories. Twenty Thousand In Line. The official program of the Roosevelt reception in New York catalogues the event somewhat as follows. The entire reception committee headed by Chattman Vanderbilt, will steam down the bay to meet the Auguste Victoria on Saturday morning, June 18. It will take the colonel aboard and return to the Battery with all the craft following that can possibly get in line. Embarking at the Battery, Colonel Roosvail will be officially welcomed by Mayor Gaynor. Then a land parade will take the place of the one on water, and the former president, former African hunter, former grand adjutant and former and present big noses of three continents will ride up Broadway, preceded by the mounted police, mounted band and escort of rough riders and followed by everybody in the United States that has been able to get a place in the procession. It is estimated that there will be 20,000 men in mea. Among these will be the Spanish war veterans, Syrtans in fezzes, Major Joran Dahiman of Gambia with cowboys. Hungarians in national costume and every other nationality that goes to make up the compilable product known as the American people. It seems good, doesn't it? Just like the old days!

The Teddy hour is once more in fashion the big stick is way in the breve and the spear that knows no brother is glistening in the sun. The trust buster's march he no longer be played with the soft pedal. Throw back the lid, stand on the loud one and come down on the keys at once. Bang! There-that's better! What a relief it is to do it in the good old way! Wall Street Not Celebrating. What about the possimists who predetect that the colonel was certain to get African fever or the sleeping sickness and the other Wall street prophets who hoped that every lion would do its duty? They are all talking small now. Did they imagine that anything in Africa could withstand the Roosevelt link? What good are Wall street prophets anyway? Most of them cannot even predict the future movements of stocks and so have to depend on a sure thing game of working the lambs for commissions. "A prophet is not without honor save in his own country" was not spoken of the Wall street brand of boothrayer. He is without honor anywhere under the sun. Wall street is not celebrating the return of the colonel. That is one reason the rest of the country is celebrating. Possibly the bulls and bears fear that Roosevelt is coming back to start another hunt in the financial jungle. On the way to Khartum he dropped one significant remark to the effect that he had harder work ahead than that done in Africa. Just what is that harder work to be? Not writing evidently for he finished his African book before his return to civilization. Possibly the big trust game has reason for being apprehensive. High financiers are tilded about every thing except taking other people's money, and the mero shilos of the Roosevelt eyeglasses and teeth gives them the shilers. What will he do after his return? That is a question the answer of which is fraught with some moment to this country. Certain gentlemen of the press and of the conservation movement, popularly known as the "return from Miba" crowd, believe he will be a candidate for president in 1912. Certain other gentlemen of the press and of official station, known of all men as friends of the administration, arejust as certain that he will be president. He is the name of Heron-Dgeorge D. Heron-expariated as I recall because of certain matrimonial complications, things Boeovell will become not only president, but virtual ampitone, that he will end the republic and that he will be the beginning of "the new dark age." Thus the thing is seen to be not without an element of the fantastic, especially great death with by a fantastic mind. A. D. PRICE, Funeral Director, Embalmer and Liveryman.

It is perhaps as well to keep ourselves within the bounds of sanity when dealing with Roosevelt or with other things. Will Go to Chevenne. As to whether he will or will not be a presidential candidate he alone can answer. Of only two things are we sure—that he will have the greatest reception over given an American citizen on his homecoming and that he will go to Cheyenne in August and presumably will greet certain benches and availons of delighted citizens on the way and back. This much will come of the suggestion of a western editor that the colonel return by way of San Francisco and tear up the vocal apparatus of the country on his way east. That he could not do because it would hurt his home too late for his son's wedding. But he violated to the suggestion to the colonel taking a later round trip to Cheyenne. Beyond this longer message it is given out that he will be write books and help to edit the Outlook. What else the future holds for him and for us the American people and Theodore Roosevelt himself alone can tell. Certain it is that he will three plenty to do after he informs himself of what has taken place during his fifteen months absence and whatever he does it will keep the country on the jump. It is impossible that his personal energies should be bottled. The advice he gave out at that. Of late the advice have linked his name with an ambitious tour of twenty four states, with an address at one big mass meeting in each. This tour is to be made in connection with the Cheyenne trip, and the fortunate commonwealth included are as follows. New York Ohio, Indiana, Illinois Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Kansas, Georgia, Tennessee South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland Delaware and New Jersey Walter Wellman, who has been with him on the European tour, estimates that if the country demands it Roosevelt runs for president the way. Wellman in of his letters has a touch that is too good to be lost. It recounts how a young Englishman came down to the wharf in Egypt to see the former president. He gazed long and carnely at that picture of health. Then he turned and said. And just to think that man is now turning from a year on the equator 'Phone, 577 A. D.
