National Anti-Jim Crow Car Law Advocated at Third Annual Session of League—Five Pledges for Congressional Candidates — Make Lynching Federal Crime. (Special Correspondence.) Atlantic City, N. J.—With the appointment of a campaign committee of nine members to meet September 28 in Washington by the first meeting of the new executive committee the third annual meeting of National Independent Political League with 60 delegates from many states present ended August 6th at noon, and the league had started on the first part of its year's work, the congressional elections of 1910. The convention was a successful and a strenuous one with entire absence of the cut-and-dried. There was full freedom of speech and some word contests, especially when Prof. Du Bois, head of the Niagara Movement, became a candidate for the presidency. But harmony always eventually prevailed. The two public evening sessions at the Price Memorial A. E. Zlon Church, where all the sessions were held, drew audiences which packed the large auditorium and applauded the speakers until midnight. The speakers Thursday night were President A. Walters, who in his annual address declared for political party emancipation, saying the Republican party was as bad as the Democratic in that it acquiesced in what the Southern Democrats did and that unless one of these parties changed Colored men would join with other men for a new party; Prof. W.

Waldron on "Why Colored Men Should Be Independent in Voting;" Rev. S. L. Corrothers, who eloquently denounced President Taft's policies and urged defeating Republican congressmen; and N. B. Marshall, Esq., junior counsel for the soldiers, who reviewed all the Brownville inquiries and made amazing revelations of attempted intimidation, unfairness, partiality, improper proposals, protection of perjured government witnesses, etc., by Recorder of the Court Howland, and said this would be exposed in the next congress. Many Ohioans are clamoring for Foraker's return to the senate next March. On Friday night the speakers were Mr. W. F. S. Cook, son of Captain Cook, who was hung with John Brown; Dr. J. L. Johnson of Ohio, who commended Gov. Harmon; Francis H. Warren, Esq., editor of Detroit Informer, on "History of Political Independence;" Mr. Wm. E. Walling of New York, executive chairman of the National Association for the Welfare of the Colored People, who said his organization simply wanted to help Colored organizations, and that the labor classes were moving for political independence; and J. M. Summers, Esq., of Ohio. The address to the country, W. M. Trotter, chairman of committee, drafted from the committee's recom- --- mendations by Prof. Du Bois was read by Committee Secretary J. L. Neill, and was as follows: THE RESOLUTIONS. "The National Independent Political League is an organization of Colored people who believe the salvation of their race and the nation depends upon an intelligent use of the ballot. "We call attention to the fact that today no civilized country on earth can parallel the United States in the wholesale order of innocent men, in the social persecution of the weak, in religious discrimination and proscription and in the helplessness and inefficiency of the judiciary. "Texas has outrun Kishineff, color prejudice is worse than caste, Jim Crow cars are indefensible and recent decisions of the supreme court are repugnant to the fundamental principles of justice and democracy. "What shall we do? Vote, vote right and vote independently. We Negro Americans have at least a half million effective votes, Hitherto we have given these votes blindly to one party and received in return a few jury offices. That party has repeatedly broken its pledges to us while Theodore Roosevelt has given us Brownsville and William Taft in a weak surrender to prejudice has dismissed worthy officials simply for being black. "Our uncritical and unquestioning support of one party has proven disastrous. Like the mass of laborers of the land we have sold our high privilege too cheaply. In return for support at the polls Colored Americans must hereafter demand protection, education, equality of opportunity and justice. "The present two leading parties have denied us these things. The TYLOR'S RESIDENCE. the Grand Worthy Master, G. F. and President of the Savings Bank, 5 N. Second Street, Richmond, Va. Southern Democrats have disfranchised thousands of our voters and the Republicans have let them do it with faint and fainter protest. "It is time therefore for an independent movement in politics. We should refuse alliance with either of the two dominant parties at present, and confine our attention to men; we should vote and vote only for congressmen and other candidates for office who pledge themselves to advocate the following measures: "1. The enforcement of the Constitution, to stop disfranchement and peonage. "2. The passage of a national anti-Jim Crow car law. "3. National aid to education with the same opportunities to all children. "4. National legislation against lynching and mob law. "5. The restoration of the discharged Brownsville soldiers. "To candidates of any party who pledge themselves to these measures we pledge our own votes and the votes of all black men whom we can persuade to stand on their manhood and vote like freemen." Govs. Harmon of Ohio and Deneen of Illinois, were commended for their course against lynching, harmony among the race-rights organizations was urged and a hearing of Rev. Harvey Johnson on his Texas purchase plan urged. A committee of TEXAS LAW American Syndicate Co., St. Augustine, Fla. seven was appointed on the 50th anniversary of Emancipation to confer with other bodies. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, Bishop Alexander Walters, New York; Organizer, Rev J. M. Waldron, Washington, D. C.; Asst. Organizer, W. C. Payne, Alexandra, Va.; Rec. Sec., W. C. Nell, Washington, D. C.; Corr. Sec., W. M. Trotter, Boston, Mass.; Treas., M. W. Gibbs, Ark.; Fin. Sec., Rev S. L. Corrothers, Washington, D. C.; Chaplain, Rev. L. G.

Wiley, Providence R. I.; Wm. D. Johnson, Boston, Mass.; and W. F. S. Cook, Maryland. A new constitution was adopted making local leagues the units. Each state and territory has a member of the National Executive committee who is director of the local work. Members were chosen for 40 states, Mrs. Givens of Louisville being chosen for Kentucky.

Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God in His wise providence to remove from our midst our beloved and esteemed brother, co-worker and friend in the person of Lewis Braxton; And whereas, we do feel sensibly the loss that we have sustained in the untimely removal of so valiant, energetic, trustworthy and experienced, an officer from our midst; And whereas, we do feel confident that our Board of Directors and the Association at large, have received a stunning blow when God in his wise judgment saw fit to call from time to eternity our brother, Lewis Braxton, in that he was the faithful treasurer of our Association, keeping all money safe and secure, that was placed into his hands; And whereas, the Board of Directors of the above named Association has always felt themselves honored in having such an honest trustworthy gentleman connected with them; Therefore, Be it resolved: 1. That we do bow in humble submission to Him who alone doethall things well. 2. That the entire community has lost an able citizen, our Associa a valiant officer and director, the business community a man of honesty and integrity, one who did all he could at all times for the uplifting of fallen humanity, the altar upon which our Heavenly Father wishes us to offer sacrifices. 3.

BY THE SOLDIERS Attack on Jail Checked in Alabama. Evergreen, Ala., August 7. —Order was restored this morning here and Company K. First Infantry, of this place has been removed from duty. Fearing a further outbreak tonight, Sheriff J. F. Irwin and Deputy Sheriff E. C. Hinds this afternoon took Albert Johnson and John Manuel to Mobile for safe-keeping. These two negroes are held in connection with the murder of Jesse Baldwin, an aged farmer at Wilcox station July 7th. Charley Henderson, Charley Manuel and Jerry Mims, three other negroes, remain in the jail in connection with the same case, but it is believed that the authorities are in full control of the situation, and that friends of the dead men will allow the law to take its course. The mob formed Sunday morning at 12:30 o'clock. Surrounding the jail the members fired shots and made threats against the black prisoners. The Evergreen company of infantry immediately was called to the armory. At 3 o'clock the mob was dispersed when the troops appeared and surrounded the jail, where they were on guard until the danger of the attack was passed. NEGRO CONFESSED TO THE MURDER. Mobile, Ala., August 7.—Albert Johnson, the negro who, with John Manuel, is charged with the murder of Jesse Baldwin, three weeks ago near Evergreen, Ala., and who was brought with Manuel to this city by Sheriff Irvin, of Conecuch county, after having escaped the wrath of a mob, confessed today that he was at the scene of the murder when Jesse Baldwin was done to death. He accused Manuel of having struck some of the blows which ended fatally for the aged farmer, and also stated that Remas White used a hoe on the old man, thus aiding in causing his death. Johnson said that he did not strike a blow, but merely looked on while the other men did the killing. As soon as Johnson finished Manuel called him a liar, and said that he (Manuel) had not been present at the killing at all. Mr. Edward H. Smith, of the Richmond Planet, in company with Mrs. Henrietta Pride, Misses Irene Pride, Mamie Pride and Mary E. Foster, of 12 West Leigh Street, returned to the city after a delightful visit to Norfolk and White City, August 2, 1910. FOR SALE—Buy this desirable ideal home.

The Fifth Street Baptist Church last Sunday enjoyed a fine day of religious worship. The Pastor, Rev W. F. Graham who had spent about a week away at the Mattaponi Association came to this flock fresh from country clime strengthened by the wholesome atmosphere and surroundings with a mind laden with useful lessons. Many of these he imparted to the large congregation attendant at the morning and night services. At 11:30 o'clock Prof. Alex, McCoy, leader of the choir, Miss Edmonia Anderson, organist, took their respective places, as did the other members of the choir. The sweet musical strain from the big pipe organ mingled with the great musical human voices united in songs and praises to the Almighty Father of the universe. The Doctor preached an extra fine sermon at each service, both morning and night, fed his flock with the needed lessons for their present and future happiness. At 9:30 o'clock Supt. Prof. B. H.

A Dr. Mills Withdraws.-Declines to Unify—Caustic Criticism of Elks' Leaders—Will His Lodges Sustain Him? A PROCLAMATION To All Subordinate Lodges, Greeting: By authority invested in me as Grand Exalted Ruler of the improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World. I proclaim to all of the subordinate lodges that the proposed Special Session of the Grand Lodge that was attempted to be held in the city of Washington, D. C., July 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th 1910, failed of accomplishment and after declaring that there was and could be no union, the session was therefore adjourned by me for the following reasons: First: At Wilmington, Del., it was deemed advisable and so decided by the Peace Conference that the Atkins following would come into the Parent Body or "Regular Order" of Elks, because it was conceded that the Parent Body has the only Charter and Copyright under which the colored Elks or this country could operate without being interfered with by persons who were and inclined to oppose the existence of the Order; and that it was especially understood that Dr. J. E. Mills, of Norwalk, Va., should preside as Grand Exalted Ruler of the future Grand Lodge and Dr. William E. Atkins of Hampton, Va., should preside as Grand Esteemed Leading Knight of the future Grand Lodge, all of which was grossly deemed and refused by the Atkins following in the attempted Special Grand Session. Second: Because at Wilmington, Del., the Atkins following made no LKER'S RESIDENCE. E R. W. Grand Secretary, I.

For at the magic name *Moreau* his componon and he were instantly all attention. *What secret?* he again,precumently demanded. "I see them speak togetherly," said Poulette, holding her head and screwing up her eyes in a manner that bed ill for the annaire and untruthful Mr. Group. "I can tell that they did not wish you to see. Then when you come from dinner Colonel) Moreau he hand this to Group behind the door Group he keep it in he breast pocket until the fast sheep on poarch just now I will hold it all those camels - "Camelas" drye method Aaron, with raised eyebrows. "Out, miche" confidently nodded Poulette, evidently no whit amused at the idea of the spotted handkerbief being able to accommodate such animals. "All those camels the coloumen german wear when he is come, wear them on his fob chains." And she opened the spotted handkerbief "Cameros, St. Araron," exclaimed Anabelle, an exultant light leaping to his eyes. "See, there they are. Now I know. You saw Colonel Moreau when he started for that meeting this morning. You saw him when Tom Randall has meeting this morning. You saw him when Tom Randall has given him that pistol of his father's to go and kill—who? But one man—Cameros Kirby" he cried, leveling his arm at the startled Aaron. And, as if further proof were needed, evidence which proved beyond a doubt the sinister identity of the unwelcome guest, Group entered with a note, which he handed to M. Veaudry "Man on horseback ride all de way from de city wif it," he explained. Hastily scrimping it, the young crede handed it in silence to Mr Randall, and the latter read I have one more clew to run down, but I shall follow this within the hour I shall be back. I will follow the journey with you this morning. If this is true secure his portmanteau, and if he is still at the plantation do not allow him to quip the present lie. If any means to his leaving Do not hesitate at force. Colonel Moreau was murdered this morning by Camero Kiray TOM RANDALL Aron gravely returned a letter to his companion, and he moved the two men looked at each other in silence. Then M. Vandey quietly placed the paper in his pocket, turned on his heel and strode from the room, Mr Randall obediently following. At last they had arrived at a complete understanding regarding the identity and disposition of the troublesome guest who bodily masqueraded under the name of Colonel Moreau. That no words had been necessary testified to the sinister character of the resolve upon which they had mutely determined. From the balcony Larkin Bunce, chewing impatiently on his cheerow, waited for Adele to leave the drawing room. It was imperative that he should have a final word with Kirby. Escaping from the music room before the others, he had been in time to catch a glimpse of Aaron Randall's face as the latter followed M. Veudry, and the sight had not been a comforting one, the old gambler feeling assured that someone had died and had peace, would not have surprised him if their respective identities had at last been discovered. "I knew we'd get it if we stayed," he commented gloomily. "I wonder if this means it's come," glowering at Aaron's retreating back. And yet, looking through the window, he discerned Kirby seated at the card table negligently toying with the pasteboards and frittering away the time with Adele as if secure in the peace and happiness of his own home. Such indifference was maddening, inexplicable, and the old gambler, with moment Adele had gone he would convey a last warning to his partner, and if it was still unheeded he would then think of his own safety and, however difficult it would prove, leave Kirby to the fate he deserved. Meanwhile that gentleman was calmly pursuing his dialogue with Adele. "You ask me if I am sorry I did not go," he was saying. "Miss Missa, what is a man who acts against all the reason he has?" "Sometimes he is a hero," she replied steadily meeting his eyes. "And sometimes he's a fool," he added grimly. "Things come so suddenly sometimes that you can hardly get your breath quick enough to tell what to do. Yet," he added musingly, "you do know all the time, underneath, what you ought to do. For instance, I know that I ought not to be here now. I haven't any right. And, then, I have to humilate the man who stole a silver mounted plato at the oakse this morning." "But you can't do that," she exasperated, nodding wisely. "Your friends would-" "Miss Randall, I've got only one friend in the world, and he's out there on the balcony sweating cues worlds at me because I don't go." She turned away, evincing sudden and vital interest in a bok she had read twice over and knew by heart. "Do you think you have a right to say that you have only one friend?" she asked gently. Adapted From the Play of the Same Name by W. B. M. Ferguson BE DISCERNED EIGHT SPATED AT THE CARD TABLE friend. Miss Randall "Why? How do you think of me?" suddenly facing him her eyes half timid, half daring, demanding a smile answer "Why—just as you Miss Adèle and I ought not to think of you at all" "Do you mean because this unjust charge is hanging over you? Do you think I care for that? Is there any other reason?" He nodded, permitting the cards to fall from his hand one by one to the table. "Yes; there is another reason. You remember what Mercutio said of his wound—"His neither as deep as a well nor as wide as a church door, but 'twill serve. Ask for me tomorrow, you shall find me a grave man.' The bad prince ought not to stay too long you know" She scared herself at the table and scrutinized him with grave, troubled eyes, her chin reposing daintily on the cruz of arbed hands. "You must make it clearer to me than that. What are you afraid of my finding out?" He shrugged and smiled. "Life makes some pretty queer shuffles. Miss Randall, and you can't fool much with the deck yourself," he said, somewhat irrelevantly, picking up the cards and unconsciously beginning to riffle them. "You're not going to be caught. It's only a question of time till you get caught and then nobody will play with "PERHAPS WITH ONE WOMAN HE COULDN'T BE BEATEN." you I don't know why Life dealt me the hand I hold. All I know is I've got to play the cards according to rule sometimes I've found that mighty hard. I keep wishing and wishing there'd be a different hand dealt, but wishing won't change it. It was the shuffle that settled it long ago." "I don't think, sir, that you've said anything that concerns you and me very much." she commented, glancing up shyly. "Concerns you and me," he echoed sadly, and, rising, he began to pace the room. "Miss Randall, let me tell you something," he added at length, halting and regarding her facely. "One evening forward sunset I was leasing over the roll of a Mississippi river steamboat, and, not finding much pleasure in what I was thinking about, I put my hand casually into my pocky card sleeves, and I found cards, cards that had been used—wool considerably. I contemplated them a moment and then let them fall from my hand. They dropped into the water in a kind of little shower. And then a curious thing happened. Those shabby old playing cards floated alongside a rosebush all in bloom that somebody had evidently planted too near a caving back upstream. It seemed as if they kind of hoped to go along with it on its journey, but it didn't look right. The rosebush was too pretty for the companions like that, and they had played playing cards, lying on their backs in the water, began to sink under and drown. Then along came an eddy and caught that pretty rosebush and swung it out into the stream, and away it went down the stream, and away it proud in just a glory of sunshine and sparkle. I served those old playing cards right, they ought to have been drowned for trying to keep company.

Both appeared thoroughly frightened, although endorsing to chuck it under a mask of well bred composition and Kirby, purposely ignoring their condition, launched himself upon a soothing current of small talk which was remarkable for its lack of relevance. "Just discourishing with Croup off the beauties of the night," he prevaricated cheerfully. "You see. I have been quite deserted. My secretary, feeling the heat, stepped into the garden for a breath of air, while Mime Randall evidently had duttes elsewhere. Shall we continue our game? Or perhaps Miss Aide will sing for us again?" "I- I am a little frightened, Colonel Moreau," interrupted Mine Davezac, her emotion mastering all repressive measures, while she glanced apprehensively at the window. "There are strange shadows moving in the garden We saw them from the parlor." "Ah, undoubtedly my secretary," replied Kirby. "a most active being for one of his excessive displacement. I assure you he is entirely capable of creating more than one legitimate shadow—" "It was more than one man." Interrupted Ann Pleydell in a frightened voice of conviction. "Please do not jest with us, Colonel Moreau. We are convinced that some men are watching this house both front and rear." In that case, said Kirby, instantly serious. "I beg of you, indies, to retire to your rooms and permit me to investigate this matter. There is no cause for alarm—" A shrill, frightened scream cut him short, and the next moment Poulette came flying into the room, moaning and wrining her hands. "Ob-b-h!" she cried, shrinking away from the window "Men all round do house. Dey have gun muskets. Dey hide in de bush. Ob-b-h!" Instinctively Kirby placed a hand in his breast pocket and strode toward the balcony. As he gained the window a hand suddenly pulled him back, and he turned to confront Adole. "You think they have tracked you," she whispered, biting the quiver from her lips. "They shan't take you! They shouldn't" passionately, vehemently. "Stand back from the window," he commanded quietly, throwing an arm before her "Ladies," he added, turning to the others, who with Poulette had defensively bulwarked themselves behind the card table. "there is no cause for alarm. It is possibly only a pose of our neighbors hunting a runaway bigger." "Quite so, sir," agreed a drawing voice. And, turning, Kirby discerned Judge Pieddle standing in the doorway, complacently and resolutely blocking the one avenue of escape. Kirby felt quite assured that at last some one of his into friends had discovered the true identity of "Colonel Morenu." "I have found out who these trespassers are," continued the judge, significantly eying the masquerader, "and, ladies, it is my current request that you return to your room." "Retreat!" furiously stormed Adela, her eyes snapping. "I tell you I'll have them wilted on the place!" "You can't do it; it's right," cut in Kirby, nodding toward the judge. "I will fall retreat on the balcony, and as Mime, Davies gave birth to a frightened little scream Larkin Burce, looking considerably overheated and embrassed, jushed through the window and beamed either foolishly upon the assembled company. "You changed your mind about taking the job and did you. Larkin" took Kohl's phone. "Well, I didn't stroll fur," acknowledged the other, fastening an innocent eye upon the ceiling. "There was some men upon there, strangers to me, so far. Yet they, kind o' them, to show some interest in me when I ran into them, would walk in, defiantly, and when I found the house that thought looking down from the boat's rail." Without conscious effort or any attempt at elocution Kirby had told the little allegory with simple feeling and sincerity, his manner growing more abstracted until at the conclusion it seemed as if he were speaking to his inner self, taking counsel with all that was best in him. Silence ensued, while Adela looked dreamily up, and he continued to stare at the cards, but seeing them not. "Does a man always stop to think whether he has a right or not?" she ventured at length, speaking so low that he strained forward to catch the words. "Doesn't a woman always want him to be gravely returned." "But there is something a woman wants to be more than that--who wants him not to give up anything till—he is beaten." she whispered. "Suppose he is the kind of man that ought to be lioned!" She arose throwing the scarf about her shoulders, and walked meditatively to the door "But mightn't it be perhaps- perhaps with one woman" she whispered, "he couldn't be beaten even then!" Astonished at her own dating, she gave a little gap when incontinently del white Kirby stood staring after her, fearing to interpret her words. He turned with a start as Bunco strode through the balcony window. "Well have you told her goodbye?" snapped Larkin who had interpreted the foregoing passage as a species of farewell. "No" said Kirby violently, irritated at the interruption "Well, I reckon it's about time to sit down and take a good hard think" warmed the other pair the room like an excited senility. "Do you think you can git this girl?" he continued, with heavy sarcastics. "How about it when she finds out who you are-Camoo Kirby?" "Easy on that name, Larkin." "Easy on the name!" bellowed Bunce, appealing to the ceiling. "Why it been shriekin' through this house ever since you got here. There've been two fellers within ten feet of you all the time who never took their eyes off you—that young Veadury and Aron Randall. Do you reckon they think you're Colonel Morentu? Why, I seen them leave the house a short spell back, and I'd be willin' to bet my immortal soul they're on our makeup and are plumly' to raise h'—with us. I tell you this place is grittin' too hot for Larkin Bunce. You haven't said goodbye to her? Well, then, I'll say goodbye to you. Somebody's got to be loose. I wouldn't be no good to you—nor to elbish in jail. For the last time he has been taking an imploring gesture with his trembling hands. "Are you comin' with me?" Kirby who had quietly resumed his place at the table, now slowly shuffled the desk and carefully inspected the card that had turned up. "No. He said with grace, 'I'm not going with you, my friend. The hands' don't I play it out." "For God's sake Gene" implored Bunce. I got to quit you. You know what this means to me. he added despairingly "I hate to go, but there are no excuse in my stayin'." "No And I thank you for staying as long as you have" interrupted Kirby, with a smile, rising and placing his hand on the other's shoulder. "I'm afraid I haven't been thinking very much of you, old partner. But I'm going to stay call it what you like. However, this is not your land. Lark,琳, and I don't want you to help me play it out. Go by all means, and as once Did you get a fresh horse!" "A fresh horse? Why. I wouldn't, even dust to ask for the one I come up." cried Bunce, napping his face. "You don't seem to rightly size up the mess we're in. Gene. I'll be lucky to git out on my own two feet. I don't even know where they put my hat, and I'm skewed to ask for it. Then it ain't no more use my askin' you to come" "No more use than in your staying," said Kirby. Bunce hesitated for a moment, then thrust out his huge hand. "Goodby, you durned fool!" he gasped, choking up. "Goodby, Larkin, but don't bet that it is goodby. They won't get me. I ride your horse into town for you tomorrow." Bunce bestowed a final helpless appeal upon the ceiling, gave his partner's hand a farewell wrench, then lumbered hastily from the room, while Kirby, bumming softly to himself, arrived to the open window and, leaning negatively against its frame, gave himself up to retrospect. He wanted to be alone; he wanted to think, to dream, to go over and over again every word that Adele had spoken, every smile, every gesture. His thoughts were solely of the immediate present and past. For the future he did not care—neither Tom Handail's homecoming nor his own in inevitable unmaking. He wondered what he would have been, what the end would have been, and his early life been laid in pleasant lines—less harsh, less lonely, less gritty, less cynical and minister factor in molding his navy destiny. What if the last of the Kirthys had proved an honor to the old name, instead of a professional river gambler? And why was he remaining? Was not the allegory of the rosebush too bitterly true? Why had Adele said those last words: "But mightn't it he perhaps with one woman he couldn't be bent, even then?" Yes, it might be, and it would be, and the truth of it had been proved since the beginning of time. But, even if she were willing and know him for what he was, could he rightly ask the sacrifice? Yet those words had awakened a fierce longing, held out a promise of hope. And he could not utterly renounce, not just yet. Perhaps. He turned as a hand lugged at his sleeve, turned to confront old Croup, who had hatedoisolence to his side. "Marse Globe, oh," Gawd's take, look out!, whispered Croup, his face gray with anxiety, his voice trembling, with Kirby turned an attentive ear toward the softly stealing south wind that harbinger of danger. Yes, the hook beats are now insistently audible, drawing nearer and nearer with every pizzaging second. More than one house, too—say a dozen, if he was any judge. "Thank you for the warning. Climute" he said quietly, preserving his attitude of idle indifference as if discussing the most trivial commonplace. "I quite agree with you that it is too late to think of escape." CHAPTER XII JT. Mara Gene, honey," implored the old negro. "go sohly is gwine to make"—"Soya, attento" B other way there was" some more of them says the same thing similar. So Freckoned I might as well come back to the house. "If you will permit me," said Kirby, facing the company and raising his voice. "I will receive Judge Pleckerd's friends on the porch yonder. No, Bunce," he added sharply as the other approached, "I don't want you. It's a lone hand, partner." "You shouldn't do it," implored Adole, catching his arm. "Oh, don't you see it would be as if I had betrayed your Anatole," she broke off sharply, a note of agonized relief in her voice as the young creole appeared in the doorway and gently shouldered his way past the judge. Anatole, you've told me a hundred times you'd die to do a service. Now I give you the chance. I want those men driven off my property. M. Veaudry's face whitened and set as he became the cynosure of all eyes, Kirby's excerpt. "It is a service that I do you, made-moellele," he said at length, with quiet dignity. "Those are my men out there, I told them to surround the house, and this gentleman knows what for" bowing gavels to Kirby. "No, he doesn't, but I do!" cried Adole, laughing hysterically. "So this is how you win a woman, Annotle. You will answer to my brother for an attack on a guest of this house," she finished, her anger once more mastered. "Made-moellele it is by your brother's orders that I act and I think it is that he is himself here now," replied M. Veundry. Even while Adele laughed acutely a confused babel of cries we heard from the garden, supplemented by hoarse ouths and the sound of running feet. Another moment and Tom Ran dail had burst into the room. Covered with dust and sweet, white, haggard, half insane with excitement, a prey to the most consuming passion, he was the epitome of violence, balked revenge and undying hate as, throwing off Adele's retraining arm, he launched himself straight at Kirby Aaron Ran gravel, gave and collected, next entered and methodically placed upon an adjacent chair the green portmanteau belonging to the late lancent Colonel Moran Boyla was awaited young Ran-dall's onlance and, as the unmuddled boy threw himself upon him, plionned his arms and, despite all opposition, forced him backward into a chair "Let me go! Get out of the way, you people" screamed Tom, like an infuriated child, as Adele and Aaron laid restraining hands upon him. "We're run you to earth, Mr. Wolf," he added, glaring at Kirby, while he strove to release himself, almost sobbing with impotent fury. "Wolf, am I?" echeol Kirby, stopping back "Then I'll show you some fangs." "Tom' Tom'" implored Adoie "What's the matter? Why do you act this way? You don't know what you're doing." "He' he snarled, writhing from her grief and again confronting Kirby 'It's you who are the fool. There the man we want for the murder of Colonel Moreau' She started back agast, starring from her brother to Kirby and back again in helpless, doubling astonish- 1872 ment, while Judge Pyledell coughed dryly and his daughter sheltered herself behind the ample bulwarks of Mine. Davacze, who, now that the source of her fears had been identified, had regained her serene composure and was staring curiously at Kirby "It was Colonel Moreau he killed?" whispered, Adole in a strangely quiet and emotionless voice. "Shot down like a dog Moreau was unarmed," growled young Handall with brutal brevity. "Indeed! murmured Kirby, erinling sudden interest. "How do you know?" "Because no weapon was found with the body." "Who told you that?" "Nobody." "Then how do you know?" "I found Moreau's body, and I am the witness against you," snapped the boy, spitting out the words with distilled renom. Aaron Randall's expression changed, and with audition agitation he grasped M. Yessudry's arm. To both men some idea of the boy's despicable action had occurred. Kirby waited coolly, surveying his accuser, while he carefully chose his next words. "So you are the man I had to do," he said measuredly, with a sardonic, contemptuous smile. "Did you throw that platoat away, or did you keep it?" "That's your defense in it?" cried Tom, laughing willingly. "I'll show you how much water that'll hold. You want to accuse me of taking it—accuse me of making it—platoat? You'll dud that accession is going to faint the rope just a little tighter around your neck. More left his platoat in that portmanteau this morning while at my aunt's house, and if I speak the truth it's there yet." He pointed dramatically to the green leather article his cousin still guarded, and Anaron making no move to open it, but remaining preoccupied and silent. Judra Playdell, wrapped briefly forward, and performed the service. gave which had almost ended Kirby's life. "Hah! That looks as if I took it! doesn't it!" cried Tom, turning in savage triumph upon his fancied enemy. "The only pistol I carried in my life was my father's. There it is," producing from his pocket the silver mounted single shot weapon. "You ought to know that pistol," he finished menacingly. "If you don't, these people here know it." "You seem to have made your case," admitted Kirby, with cool brevity and indifference. "I believe I'd prefer to go out." He glanced at Adele, but she had turned away with bowed head, looking utterly crushed. After a moment's hesitation he turned to go, whim. M. Vacundy forward and barred his entry. "You out of this, Antoleo!" warned young Randail. "You've done your share." "Yes, I have done my share, but I have not forgotten my honor," replied the young creole, pale with but ill repressed excitement, "I would kill him, but not by lies. It was a fair meeting. Colonel Morenau was armed this morning. He carried that very platoon you show us here," pointing to the weapon that Judge Pyleldell still held. "The proof is there," he hushed simply. "Your cousin, he told me. Your cousin, he told me. Lindpall, completely outraged at the unnorted action, which he considered base treachery "What do you mean? Aron, he added violently, turning to his cousin, "tell him that's a lie." But Tom Randall's second witness proved as disappointing, and his hasty, despicable and well executed method of vengeance fell to pieces before his enraged eyes. He, who had not thought twice of fastening a murder upon his enemy, had never for a moment doubted that, the necessity arising, this important witness, this blood relation who shared his hatred, would readily swear away the guilt of their mutual enemy. He had acted without principle. He had reckoned without his cousin's inherent love for common decency and justice. Aaron Randall positively refused to corroborate the falsehood. "No, sir," he said sternly. "We have no reason to believe that Tom, abandoning himself to rage and chagrin, turned upon M. Vaundy and Aaron. "You cowardly sneakest" he cried. "You go back on me now when I had this man where I could pay him what I owed him. There are twenty men around this house who would stamp his life out like a rattlesnake. Give me that pistol." "Give him the pistol. Give him forly" added Kirby hotly as Judge Pleydell hesitated "I'll teach you to skulk behind trees and rob a dead man, to swear a murder on me," he added passionately turning upon his accuser "I am clear of your lies. I am within the law now, and you are outside it. Take your pistol, call in your friends to help you, and I'll make-" "No! No!" cried Adele plecously. And Adela prehensively. He turned, mastering by an effort his bitter pass, pressing the Oblished courteously, with a formal bow, "I will make them welcome. I shall never be said of me that I was inhospitable in my own house." Oblivious to the others, his declaration had been aimed at Adela, and despite the sure courtesy with which it was delivered, she was acutely conscious of a certain bitter undercurrent of trony in the words, re-enforced by the sardonic challenge of his eyes. "Your own house," she echoed slowly. "Did you say that?"—"It is mine tonight." She stared at him, wide eyed and tremulous with sudden fear and horror, as if the phantasmagor of some hideous dream, a being whom she had swiftly leaped to cherish, had in a breath turned into a venomous reptile, its neck drawn back to wrinkle. "That is only my mind in the world who could make that claim," she whispered, choking over edch word while she still stared with borrified fascination—"only one man in the world who could make that claim." "Don't you see who the scoundrel is!' crised Tonn, with brutal contempt. Kirby bowed gravely to Adole Randall. 'Cameo Kirby-at your service, madam. I told you the bad prince always stayed too long," he added sadly, bitterly. [TO BE CONTENUED.] Bankers Jennings Leavers Jell Edward H. Jenkins, former president of the Columbia National bank, was smuggled out of the county jail at Pittsburgh, after having served nearly two months for bribing councilmen in a successful effort to have his bank named as a city depository. While he did not use the effects of "Old Sluoth" or "Nick Carter," he was as effectually disguised by a two months' growth of beard, which hid his identity so well that when he attended church few people in the office were aware that Jenkins had been released. The greatest secret was observed in his release. Instead of being taken out of the big iron doors on Roxa stoech he was smuggled over the "bridge of sighs" thence to the courthouse and out through the front door, whence an automobile drove him on his Fifth avenue home. There he was met by Mrs. James Magee, his daughter, who has been ill for several months, and who does not know her father has been in jail. She had been informed that he had taken a trip to South America for his health. While in the county jail Backer Jennings learned a new vocation. He has, become an expert potato peeler. A few days after his incarceration, Warden Lewis put the millionaire banker peeling, "spuds." When Jennings was released Sunday he was an expert. Husband—What do you do when you hit your thumb with a hammer? You can't swear. Wife—No, but I can think with all my night and main what a perfectly horrid, mean, inconsiderate, sadly hate you are not to drive NAMES BERRY FOR GOVERNOR Keystone Party Nominares a State Ticket. PLATFORM RAPS BOSSES Short Ballot and Revision of Charitable System Among Other Things Advocated—Convention Was Stormy. William H. Berry, of Chester, former state treasurer, swept the convention of the new Koyosate (third) party in Philadelphia and landed the gubernatorial nomination by a lead of 60 votes over his nearest competitor. The first ballot showed a total of 96 votes for Berry, 46 for Rudolph Blankenburg, of Philadelphia, and 22 for George W. Guthler, former mayor of Philadelphia. The delegates present, representing 51 counties, D. Clarence Ophoney was nominated for lieutenant governor; John J. Casey, of Wilkes-Barre, for secretary of internal affairs, and Cornellus D. Scully, of Pittsburgh, for state treasurer. Mr Berry later entered the convention, and after a ten-minute outburst of enthusiasm had subsided promised the delegates to stump the state from end to end, thanked them for their support, and promised to post him and predicted that the end of bosham had come in Pennsylvania. The session, which was held in Witherspoon hall, Juniper and Walnut streets, lasted from early in the morning until late at night. From the first tap of the gavel, when John O. Sheatz, former state treasurer and chairman of the temporary executive committee of the new party called the delegates to order until the final motion to adjourn, the convention hall was a continuous scene of stress and turmoil. Factions without number fought valiantly for their own individual interests, and several times the arguments became so heated and personal that only the cool headheadness of a few of the leaders saved the assemblage from a stampede. Roosevelt vs. Bryan. The most aerious clash came late in the afternoon, when Frank M. Riter, of this city, introduced a resolution indorsing Theodore Roosevelt. There was immediately a division of the delegates along party lines, and there were shouts from all corners of the room of "Why not Bryan also?" Several delegates wanted to speak at the same time, and the pounding of the gavel was lost in the uprising. Finally Henry C. Niles, of York, chair of the preventing open hostilities, and the resolution was laid on the table amid the hisses and Joern directed at Mr Riter. The platform, in brief, is as follows: Vigorous denunciation of the Republican and Democratic state tickets. Condemnation of "boss rule" and assertion that both old party tickets and platforms were "dictated by the same authority" and both made in the interests of the liquor business. Abolition of party square and adoption of short ballot. Civil service laws to apply to every employee in the purely administrative service of the public. Local option to govern the sale of intoxicating liquor Standardization of the public school system. Election of United States senators by popular vote. Revision of the tax laws and enactment of laws to prevent evasion of taxes. Creation of a public service commission. Simplification of city governments and right of recall to affect municipal officers. Regulation and improvement of the internal judiciary, including administration only by mon learned in the law. Just and liberal appropriations for charitable purposes, but careful revision of the system and regulation of appropriations to private charities. Better labor laws, including improved employers' laws. Mother Blays Her Four Children. Four young children of Mrs. Joseph Mello, wife of a wealthy rancher, near Brentwood, Cal., were drowned by their mother. Mrs. Melio was evidently driven insane by the loneliness of the country. She lived in a big farmhouse with her husband and children, the oldest being Chester, 14 years old. No servant was employed. After writing letters to her relatives, telling them she was desorbate through loneliness, she took the five children into the kitchen and dollerally set about killing them. First she strangled little Hamon, a 4-year-old girl and then drowned her in a washtub. Loona, a 2-year-old girl, came next. She snatched the baby from the arms of her brother and killed the child like the others. Then she seized the twin babies, five months old, and plunged them in her tub. Little Chester, who had vainly tried to stop her mother's dreadful work, rushed out into the yard and screamed for help. Sherif Vesla happened to be passing in an automobile and he responded. He tried to resuscitate the twins. He took the mother and placed her under arrest and in a hospital. The mother died constantly. To the sheerly Mrs. Mollo told a story of her lonely, blank existence in the country, an existence shadowed with constant horror of impending insanity, which she confessed had carried off her mother, her sister and her brother. bruider. The inhabitants of Palmyra get all their aid by shipping buckets into the weight bearing shells and allowing the whole to be transported. SATURDAY ... AUGUST 18, 1916 ROAD and FARM IMPROVEMENT FACTORS FOR ROAD BUILDER Climate Is Important Matter to Consider—All Road Forma Should Have Good Crown. (Br W. L. 8POQN.) The climate is a factor of importance for the road builder to consider. In the eastern sections, where the soil is plastic, the rains are most abundant while in the western sand hills the climate is semi-arid and quite strong south winds prevail. These conditions introduce an important matter for consideration. Sand roads are best when wet, and clay roads when dry, but climatic conditions operate adversely and must be taken into consideration seriously. The rains make the eastern roads muddy, while dry weather makes of the western roads deep shitting sand. The suggestion offered by this natural condition is to add sand to the eastern clays and clay to the western sands in order to bring about, An Excellent Roadway. between the soil and the climate, the balance necessary for the betterment of the roads. Additional encouragement is afforded by the natural distribution of the material, which in most cases is abundantly provided for all needs. In the eastern portion, where rains are abundant, the question of drainage is very important, and, moreover, a greater percentage of sand (65 to 85 per cent.) must be used, while in the west, in the semi-arid sandhill section, the reverse proportion is not only permissible but often necessary. In the east the road must meet, as its supreme lost, continued wet weather, while in the west continued drought furnishes a maximum strain on the blinding power of the clay. In the east the road is likely to fall by reason of mud holes and washes; in the west it must resist pulverizing and blowing away as dust. Between these two extremes lie all the possible methods of sand-clay road construction. Upon the judgment of the supervisor, therefore, depends the character of the work to be done. He should know how to select the best available clay for the Expensive to a Farmer. conditions to be met, and likewise how to select the sand and incorporate it with the clay so as to obtain the best possible results. All forms of hard roads should have a good crown, varying from side to center. The slope of the crown should be greatest at the sides and flattened as it approaches the center. Only a sand road requires no crown at all. There nothing but deep sand provals, the surface should be concave for the purpose of conserving, as far as possible, the moisture. Sand alone is improved by water. Habita of the Mole. The mole is a stout, thick-set, animal-eating insect, living underground, where it burrows with wonderful facility and constructs galleries often of great extent and complexity. The mole is the most voracious of mammals, and if deprived of food is said to succumb in from 10 to 12 hours. Moles have been seen by various observers, as if maddened by hunger, to attack animals nearly as large as themselves, such as birds, lizards, frogs and even snakes. If two moles are confined, together without food the weaker is invariably devoured by the stronger. They take readily to the water. A Dry-Weather Crop. There are few seasons, so dry that well-cultivated milo malaise will not yield a fair crop of grain. It will produce 15 bushels per acre of grain under condilions, so dry that corn will be a total failure. In favorable seasons it produces more grain than corn, with a greater feed value. The only really successful warden is the clean garden. LIFTING THE WAGON BODIES Method "Shown in Illustration Has Proved to Be Excellent and Simple in Construction. We all know how troublesome and inconvenient it is to change the wagon bodies, especially when there is only one to do it. The method illustrated is simple but very, satisfactory. The piece used as a lover is 12 feet long. It may be a 2 by 6 high piece of strong timber, or even a nice, straight pole will answer. The posts are eight and twelve feet above the ground, and should be set deep enough to prevent pulling up or carcening and should be of sufficient size to prevent bending or breaking. The lever is bolted to the long post ten Lifting the Wagon Bed. feet from the ground with four feet projecting over the wagon To the end of the lever are fastened the rope swings, four of them, with loops on the lower end to hook over the bottom cross frame of the wagon body. The short post is seven feet from the long one and has a row of pins set in the side of it to hold the end of the lever after the body has been lifted. The different pins correspond to the different heights of the wagons. The plan is suggestive of many changes ENGLISH SPARROW IS MENACE Bo Regarded by Minnesota State Entomologist Because It Destroys Much Farm Produce. The English sparrow is looked upon by the Minnesota state entomologist at the experiment station as a monocot to farmers, not only destroying grain, but also driving away useful birds. The division of entomology suggests that a very humane way of destroying them is to feed them wheat for a few morning in the winter, in a straight line, in yard or field, and when the birds have become accustomed to the system to rake the line with a gun loaded with fine shot. Wheat, it has been said, may be soaked in whisky and eaten by the sparrows inducing such intoxication that they may be picked up and killed. Destroying sparrows' nests several times in succession, as they were built, has discouraged nesting in the locality. Destruction by means of active polls is not recommended by the dirion because the dead birds are eaten by cats, poultry, etc. The entomologist has discouraged their roosting during the winter under the caves of his own home and defiling the building, by the use of a small collecting pistol of fine shot, shooting them off their perches at dusk. FARM NOTES Good fruit and vegetables in clean, attractive packages need no salesman. Turnips as a second crop more than pay the time and work put in on them. Making a good garden is a man's job. Do not leave the hard work to the women folks. With good equipments and willing workers haying is not altogether a disagreeable task. When planting large, flat seeds, set them in the ground edgewise Germination is more certain. Cauliflower can be grown more easily than cabbage. It is always in demand and at good prices. Plant seeds of string beans every fortnight, so that there will always be a supply of tender pods. Wagons, rakes, forks, racks, and everything should all be in good order before the harvest begins. Celery blanches nicely if a six-inch drum tile is slipped over each plant, when the time comes for blanching. Make sowings once a week of such quick-growing vegetables as lettuce and radishes, to insure a continuous succession. Any delay made to repair harvesting tools not only subjects the farmer to loss of money by hindering the field hands, but subjects him to loss by prolonging the time of gathering his crops. As soon as the grass gets into the proper condition, it should be gathered in just as early as possible, for when allowed to fully ripen before cutting a great portion of the nutriment is lost. Clean out the chaff and hay seed on the barn flour and scatter it over bare places in the fists and pastures. This scattered seed represents good money value and it should be put to good purpose. Clearing up and removing all growth along the margins of a garden and fields with thorough, continuous cultivation will give almost complete immunity from cut worms, grubs, etc. A hired man at two dollars a day can make good money for you by sprouting the corn field at the time of plowing. A day's sprouting in the corn field will make it look five dollars better. The same is true of the oats and hay field. Subscribe to the PLANKT. Only $1.50 per year in advance. TURN THE KERCHIEF MAY OFTEN BE MADE TO DO OTHER SERVICE. Clever Woman Can Make the Little Linen Squares Play Many Parts— Jabots, Aprons, Laundry Bags, Etc., May Be Made. A little handkerchief is a practical thing if you regard it through the oyes of the clever woman who makes one thing in its day play many parts. It is no unusual thing for women to pos- sess more korchlofs than they can use. The experiment of turning the protty squares to other uses should be met favorably by the fair sex For a handkerchief holder, or really a little laundry bag, the idea is suggested that will occupy very little time and a decorative place of importance in the bedroom. Two handkerchiefs with scalloped edges are effective when placed together and sewed about one inch from the edge. A beading on the outside, two inches from the top, furnishes a serviceable place for the drawing string of ribbon—the color determined by the other furnishings of the room. Aprons made of handkerchiefs are attractive gift for the needy woman. If the large sizes be bought, then deco- rated bordors can be made to play an important part in the construction. Two edges of one square are used for the pointed lower portion, the sides obtained by slanting and hemming the material. From another handkerchief the ruffles can be made, and a ribbon belt and strings made to match the colored border. A pillow for baby is easily made of four handkerchiefs and strips of insertion to form the diagonals of the square. Dalnty and easy of construction, with perhaps a touch of pink or blue if you wish, four handkerchiefs cannot be put to a better use. From one kerchief a baby cap for a tiny head can be made in about twenty minutes. One edge should be turn ed back, and fullness allowed for the head by gathering the rest of the square at the back, cut off the pointed flaps and sew into a narrow band of mull or ribbon. Handkerchief jabots are legion, but one has been sketched to refresh your mind, lest you forget. Lay the kerchief in pleats to see just how much to allow for the little tabs at the top. Cut off and sew together ironing will give the tailored effect of a ready-made. A touch of color, if you wish, can be added by embroidering over the raised flowers or dots. Don't let the handkerchiefs go to waste. They can be fashioned into pretty gifts for your friends, and no one will appreciate the cleverness of the idea more than recipients. Gems on Lace Restore Gown. For the restoration of an evening gown, so that it may do duty during the summer dancing season, new goms upon the lace. Laces when cleaned frequently suffer most in the elaborate gown. They are fringile and reach the repair point while the gown is still good. Then it is that glass gams or large beads come into requisition as beautifiers as well as patches. Used discreetly they will cover most successfully any small darn or ront, and will at the same time enrich and often recolor the garment. This adding of a new touch to the half-worn article of apparel is frequently tuer economy than the rebuilding of a garment, with new materials which usually attain almost the price of a new gown Instead of Handwork. The woman who waits embroidered effects, but does not like ardous work, will welcome a now silk braid that looks like chain stitching. A design is stained as for ordinary embroidery and the braid is sowed on the outlines by hand. A few fowling stitches or French knot centers increase the effect of hand embroidery. These brids come in colors to match most of the new shades of dress material. They are especially affective on pongees and shantung done in self-tones. Care of the Face and Nails of Little Avail if This Important Feature. Is Neglected. Women are beginning to realize the importance of beautifying their eyebrows and understood now that to manicure the nails and massage the face for youthfulness avail little if such important features as brows are neglected. Massaging the brows and applying tonics must be in the daily routine of most women, and those to whom nature has given pretty shaped brows must take care of them. In care of the brows there must the a special brush. One with bristles no stiffer than those used on a young baby's head is the kind. When the brows are luxuriant and sufficiently dark in color, it behooves a woman to keep them so. Morning and night she should put a drop of swab almond oil or glycerin on her finger, tip and rub the finger over one brow, repeating the application for the other. Then she should stroke them for two or three minutes with the brush. This treatment nourishes the hair follicles, just as the scalp is toned by similar applications, and brushing of course acts as it would on the hair on the head. It may be worth while to state that without this treatment 'brows which are black and pretty may be gray and wry at the age of fifty. I know one girl who improved her eyebrows by using a paste made from the yolk of eggs and sulphur, to which she added a few drops of sweet almond oil. This paste she made from a teaspoonful of the raw yolk and into which she put powdered sulphur, as much as a small pea. A teaspoonful of swee almond oil, attained in drop by drop, made the paste thin, and this she spread on her brows every night. The paste must be kept in the refrigerator when not in use, for the keeping properties of egg are delicate. In the morning the girl massaged her eyebrows with almond oil, the rubbing consisting of stroking the hair over and over again with an oily finger. The strokes were made the same way, that in which the hair should grow This oil was finally wiped off. When browns are so long they are unruly it is not wise to clip them, for by cutting the hairs develop the quality of bristles. At night they should be pasted to the head with gum arabic or bandoline. Such a sticky paste can be made from two tablespoonfuls of quince gently simmered in a pint of water for three-quarters of an hour. When cold the liquid will be sticky. This mixture should be strained while hot. It is stroked on the brows while the unruly hairs are held in the line they should stay in until dry. A few weeks of such treatment will make the face more attractive and the brows will not grow bushy.

The scissitting jacket has a velvet collar, and revers that are faced with striped silk Coarse straw hat trimmed with velvet Materials required for the costume 6 yards 46 inches wide, 1/2 yards shaping silk for jacket, 1/2 yard velvet for facing collar, 1/2 yard silk for revers and cuffs Odds and Ends. The ruchings of maltines that come ready for hat trimming will aid the home milliner. The ruching is known by the name of chantecer and comes in a combination of colorings such as green, blue and mauve, cherry color, white and black, gray and cerise, brown and blonde, as well as plain colors. Another novelty is the quill decorated with a narrow valenciennes lace edging. Strips of the lace run the entire length of the quill, the edges of lace and quill being even About half an inch of the quill shows on either side of the stem. This is an excellent way to make old quills look like new. But a Twinkle Between. There's but the twinkling of a star between a man of peace and war—Butler. New Philippine Flour. Philippine taploca flour is now on the market. Bad for the Temper. Some doctors say that eating beef regularly is bad for the temper. It All Depends. "Do drummers really get business by telling funny stories?" "Depends altogether upon the customer," replied the traveling salesman. "Sometimes I sell funny stories, and sometimes I abuse the trusts." Come In All Shapes and Sizes, and Practically at Any Cost to Suit. The statement that it is not what is done, but how it is done, that counts, verges on the trite, but it is particularly applicable in the little things that contribute toward a pleasant time for wedding guests. A wedding cake is no longer kept for weeks and weeks. It is cut into little pieces and sent or presented to the guests and friends of the happy pair. Just how to give this in an attractive form is sometimes a question that clamors for its answer in the rush of the last few days. Boxes can be purchased at stationery departments of any large store and the accessories are within the reach of the majority of brides. There is a charming little circular box that looks like a miniature wed- ding cake When died with white ribbon or with the silken cords that reflect the color scheme of the decorations it is The ends of the into the tops of ding cake When tiled with white ribbon or with the silken cords that reflect the color scheme of the decorations it is well worth having. The ends of the bow are gathered into the tops of the silver bells. Perhaps the heart-shaped box of white is more appropriate. This should hold a heart-shaped piece of cake, and the top of the box should be folded down with broad ribbon, fastened under a rosette. Square forms are always good. The addition of a card with the best wishes of the bride and bridegroom is a little personal touch that is well worth white. Through the knot of ribbon a spray of asparagus fern can be slipped. It lasts for weeks and gives the freshness that is desirable especially for boxes that are to be sent away through the mail. To the friends who are present there can easily be given a spray of To the friends there can easily b leaves with a blossom from the decoration of the table or rooms Tled with a gold or silver cord, a leaves with a blossom from the decoration of the table or rooms Tled with a gold or silver cord, a long, narrow box will hold a fresh sprig of flowers. People like to carry with them some part of the festivities. The mania for souvenirs still prevails Of course, the custom of having the cake out by the bride herself can be easily observed, for during the reception following the small pieces easily observed, for during the reception following the small pieces can be boxed and tied by a special committee of friends and distributed to the guests before their departure. As to the dreams that may come when the fair recipients sleep with the brides' cake beneath their pillows, who can tell whether they can vie with the pleasure of receiving it in so charming a form? The best kind of a flannel for a cementation is a piece of soft old blanket, old flannel answering better than new Remember always to dry the patient's skin carefully after removing one cementation and before putting on the next A cooked potato is excellent as a means of cleaning and whitening the hands The potato should be cut in half and rubbed over the backs and fingers after they have been soaked for a minute or two in warm water Potato should be used in this manner instead of soap If the hands should have become much stained with ink they should be rubbed with lemon juice. Should this fall to remove the stains a good plan is that of adding a little pearl ash to water and dipping the hands in the solution, rubbing them well with a piece of flannel until the marks have disappeared Care must be taken to avoid washing them with soap for some time afterward or the spots will reappear A good toilet water for summer use can be made at home of an ounce of glycerin 19 ounces of orange flower water and a quarter of an ounce of powdered borax. This is simply mixed by pouring the ingredients into a bottle so that it is only three parts full, and then shaking it well. A little appled to the face and hands will prevent a shiny appearance in bot water or and will not injure the pores like powder Crocheted Whip for Baby. Girls who can crochet or knit will find a whip made of this handwork and attractive gift for a baby. The inner most part is a soft whip. This is wound around with cotton batting and then bound with a cord so that it is securely covered. Then a case for it is crocheted or knit and put on with a tassel to finish the pointed end, securely fastened on so that if the child tries to put the whip in somebody's eyes, it will not do any more harm than a soft handkerchief. Bolls are fastened on the whip part way up, and on the handle end there is a loop. The whip must be so soft every where that it cannot possibly do any harm. It may be given separately or with a set of crocheted or knitted relus. Russian Braid. Coarse Russian braid is used a great deal for trimming coats and capes. "Dearest," cooed the young husband who had been on the pleasure trip and overstayed his time. "did you get those letters I wrote you every day?" "Yes, John," responded the young wife. "The ones in which I told you that every minute while away I was thinking of you and only you!" "Well—er—what did you do with them?" "Why, I placed them between the leaves of that bogus arctic explorer's book." "Arctic explorer's book!", Gractous, did you think they were cold?" "No, but I thought they would be at home among fiction." And it was five minutes before he ventured to speak again. "Marry!" exclaimed Spoonsmore. "Mid" "Yes, you Why don't you?" "I simply can't, Wiggins" "You have a love affair with somebody or other on hand all the time. You ought to marry) and settle down" "Wiggins I'm not in a position to marry" "Pittle! All you need to go in order to be in the proper position to marry, is to stand up with the girl before a preacher" By the Bad Sea Waves The deathlair girl was furious. "You base decoyor," she blissed an she enorgured from the ocean, "you have been teaching some other girl to swim!" "On my word, I have not," replied her flance.

YORK RIVER LINE TOLL FREE JACK JOHNSON'S RING RECORDS Texas Negro Has Had Plenty of Ex experience. Jack Johnson was born in Galveston, Texas, on March 31, 1878, and is therefore more than 32 years of age. He is 6 feet 1 14 inches tall. When he won the heavyweight title from Burns he weighed 195 pounds, fifteen pounds less than he scaled yesterday. He began fighting as a professional in 1901 and in March of that year he was knocked out in three rounds by Joe Choynaki, the only decisive defeat ever recorded against him. He lost on a foul to Joe Jeannette, but later he beat Jeannette in clean cut fashion in a fifteen round bout in Baltimore Marvin Hart gave a decision over him in a twenty round bout in Frisco, and the verdict was pronounced manifestly unfair. When Choynaki put Johnson away, the pego was a novice. He had taken boxing lessons from Choynaki who knew him like a book. The fight caused so much of a star in the Lone Star State that Gov Sayres ordered the arrest of the pugilists, who were thrown into jail to await the action of the Grand Jury. They were soon allowed to go free, as the Grand Jury failed to indict them. Lee Posner, promoter of the Galveston A C was the man who gave Johnson his first boost up the pugilistic ladder Charley Brooks, a colored masseur and boxing instructor, introduced Johnson to Posner, with the information that Jack was a comer Posner agreed to match Brooks and Johnson at his club and they met in 1901 Johnson was tall, rawhorned and powerfully built and in two rounds he had Brooks unconscious on the floor of the ring. "You'll do," said Posner, who proceeded to arrange a strenuous programme for the big negro Johnson then stopped Horace Miles in three rounds to beat George Lawler of Chicago, who called himself Jack McCormick, in ten rounds. McCormick wanted more action, so Johnson trimmed him twice in succession, each fight ending in the seventh round Johnson also beat a fighter named Jack Lee in fifteen rounds on points and by that time there was not a negro in Texas who was willing to take a chance with him Posner then induced a gigantic black called Klonjy to visit Galveston, and Johnson beat him in a gruelling counter that lasted twenty rounds. Joe Choynyki came next and Johnson jumped at the chance to meet him. Choynyki, a finished boarder and experienced ring glove, made a monkey of Johnson and put him away so quickly that the negro rotation was temporarily ended. In 1902 Johnson took part in sixteen battles, winning twelve and drawing in four Among the victims was Jack Jeffries. Jim's husky brother, who was knocked out in two force rounds at Los Angeles, he knocked out Joe Konner twice in four rounds, stopped Klondyke in thirteen, fought with Billy Stiff and Hank Griffin and outpointed Pete Everett Frank Childs, George Gardner and Fred Russell, the Everett and Gardner contests each lasting twenty rounds. In 1903 Johnson figured in seven battles. He got a verdict over Denver Ed Martin in twenty rounds and had a clean cut advantage over Sam McVey in a similar out, after which he issued a challenge to Jim Fries, who ignored him by drawing the color line After that Johnson outpointed Sandy Ferguson in a ten round bbut in Boston and knocked out Joe Butler in three rounds in Philadelphia. He bested Ferguson again in six and twenty round bouts and also outpointed McVey again in a twenty round affair. In 1904 Johnson took part in only four fights, knocking out McVey in the twentleth round at San Francisco and putting a stop to Denver Ed Martin in two rounds. On March 28, 1905, Johnson met Marvin Hart, then the titleholder, in a twenty round battle on the coast Johnson, according to unprejudiced witnesses, made Hart look like a four rater all the way, outpointing him with consummate case and looking like the easiest kind of a winner at the end of the twentleth round, but the native sons had their coin on Hart and the referee enabled them to win it by one of the most unfair decisions ever recorded in California. Johnson was furious because of this raw deal, but all he got was the laugh, so he left Frisco in a rage, declaring that he would never fight there again. Coming direct to Philadelphia he knocked out Jim Jordoffs, a tough customer. In four rounds and also defeated Black Bill in the same length of time. He met Jeannette for the first time in that city and they wont three even rounds with no decision. Walter Johnson was put to sleep in lig time and after Jack Munroe had been outpointed in six rounds Johnson stopped the heavy hitting Morris Harris, a negro, with a couple of well directed punches. He beat Forguson on a foul in six rounds in Chelsea, Mass.; hammered Joe Grim for six rounds in Kuskertown and then lost on a foul to Jeannette in two rounds. Johnson fought a fifteen round draw with Young Peter Jackson in Baltimore and wound up the year's campaign with a six round no decision bout with Jeannette in Philadelphia. Johnson's first scrap in 1906 was a three round affair with Jeannette in this city, which looked like a fake. Then he signally defeated Jeannette in fifteen rounds at Baltimore. In April of that year Johnson went to Chelsea, to tackle Sam Langford; then a waltersightight. They were matched to two fifteen rounds and Langford weighing 140 pounds was at least fifty pounds lighter than the quixy Texan. In the second round Langford landed a quick left hook on the jaw and sent Johnson to the floor. He took a slow count of pike but was down at least sixteen seconds by the watches held at the ringed by promnout sporting man. When Johnson got up he was greggy and hung on until the bell rang. After that he fought Langford at long range and got a decision on scientific points, but it is a noteworthy fact that Johnson never was willing to get into the ring with Langford again. Before that year ended Johnson met Joannette three times, twice for six rounds and once for ten, each bout being a good draw. Johnson wont to Australia in 1907 and on February 19 he knocked out Peter Felix at Sydney in a round. He also quelled Bill Lang at Melbourne in nine rounds and then came back to this country with a reputation. He took on the ancient Fitzsimmon over in Philadelphia in July and beat the Cornishman down and out in two rounds. Felix was a back number at that time and couldn't whip a lightwheel Sam Fitzpatrick, who had managed Peter Jackson and Kid Lavigne, was Johnson's mentor then and he took the big negro to the coast, where he knocked out Fireman Jim Flynn in eleven rounds at Colma. Tommy Burns had beaten Hart for the heavyweight championship meanwhile, and Fitzpatrick was on his trail with repeated challenges on behalf of Johnson, but Burns, evidently wise to the fact that Johnson was a dangerous man, ignored him and went to England, where he beat such dubs as Gunner Moir Jack Palmer and Jom Roche. Johnson didn't have a dollar at that time, but Flitzpatrick borrowed money from several friends in the city and took the negro to London where he again challenged Burns. The French Canadian however turned a deaf car and hurried to France where he stopped poor old Bill Squires in eight rounds Burns proceeded to Australia with all possible speed and again beat Squires down and out in thirteen rounds. Then he stopped Bill Lang in six and was a hero in the estimation of his manager Hugh Mcintosh and the Australian sporting public In England Johnson beat Al Mora in four rounds at Plymouth and knocked out Ben Taylor in eight Fitzpatrick by this time was determined to follow Burns to Australia, but he was that broke He got asistance, however from several members of the National Sporting Club of London, Johnson signing an agreement to come back there in May, 1909 to fight Sam Langford regardless of the result of the expected battle with Burns. When Johnson and Fitzpatrick arrived in Sydney they were informed that if they wanted a fight with Burns they would have to accept the latter's terms. They agreed round for they were confident of success, so articles were signed for a twenty round fight for $35,000 purse of the same share was $30,000, with lose or draw They came to together in Rushcutter's Bay Stadium on December 25, 1908, before 20 oce spectators Johnson was 6 3 4 inches taller and much heavier than Burns, yet the latter ruled favorite in the betting. As the fight progressed it was apparent that Burns was a more toy in the hands of the big negro who knocked him down in the second round Johnson took his own time after that and tantalized Burns with cutting jabs in the face and many sarcastic remarks. Burns had declared before the mill that Johnson possessed a yellow streak so that every time Johnson landed a telling wallop he reminded Tommy of his unkind remarks in the fourteenth round when Burns was on the verge of a knockout and Referee McIntosh was about ready to save the little white man himself the Sydney police jumped into the ring and stopped the fight Burns was all battered up. His eyes were closed and he was cut to ribs, but he was anxious to continue the one aided mill, when the interferences occurred With $5,000 in his inside pocket Johnson proceeded to throw Fitz patrick down and then sailed for the Pacific coast. When he arrived in this country he lost no time in re-publishing his agreement to fight Laugford in London. He expressed a will ingness to fight Jeffries, however but the tolrmaker wasn't ready to talk business. Johnson went into vaudeville with much engerness and signed a contract calling for $1,000 a week. In May he met Philadelphia Jack O'Brien in Quakersville, the bout lasting six rounds Johnson received nearly $8,000 for his end of the entertainment. He was hog fat, short of wind and put up a slovenly exhibition. O'Brien receiving the popular verdict on scientific points. When the bout ended W. A Brady issued a challenge at the ringside in behalf of Kaufman, whose def had been ridiculed by Jeffries, but Johnson displayed his gold teeth in a brun grin and told Brady to wait A month later Johnson took on Tony Hoss, a strong heavyweight for six rounds in Pittsburgh and stalled all the way, much to the dissatisfaction of the spectators. He got $6,000 for this alleged exhibition of his prowess and indulged in another golden smile Ketchel, Kaufman and Langford were all hurling challenges at the black champion then, and as the public was clamoring for action the negro made a match with Ketchel, the middleweight champion, the date being fixed for October 16. But Johnson made another match for September 9th with Kaufman at Prince, the agreement being that if both men were on their foot at the end of the tenth round no decision should be rendered Kaufman, just as tall and perhaps a trifle heavier, was an easy mark for Johnson, who easily outpointed him, but did not inflict serious damage. When Ketchel and Johnson got into the ring at Colma to fight twenty rounds many of the spectators said it was a shame to allow them to mix it up. Johnson weighed 195 pounds and Ketchel 160, although he said he tipped the beam at 175. For twelve rounds Ketchel, a mere boy, carried the sight to Johnson, who blocked his rushes and in onliness actually littered him off the floor of the ring. In the twelfth round Ketchel inadvertently a heavy right hand swing on the side of Johnson's head. The ne THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. Got fell heavily to the floor, but whether he was faking or not nobody will ever know. As Johnson got up Ketchel, wild with excitement, rushed in to finish him. Johnson set himself and shot out a fearful right hook. The blow landed squarely on Ketchel's jaw, knocking out several teeth and sonding him into the Land of Nod. For a few moments Johnson thought he had killed the little fellow, but the latter soon revived. Shortly after that Ketchel's manager, Willus Britt died suddenly. It was a case or a broken heart, they said, and for many months Ketchel, mourning his loss, refused to fight again A Proclamation.

He noticed three colored troops of the Tenth Cavalry riding in the trolley car on which he was a passenger, and apparently, without attracting the attention of any one but himself. The conductor, observing how much he appeared to be interested in their movements, fell into conversation with him, and recurring to the recent discussion of the unfriendly attitude of Burlington so close to these colored soldiers, said to "so far as the trolley men met them, they were much more agreeable and gave far less trouble than the white soldiers." This is both interesting and important. It shows that the army chiefs know what they were doing when they assigned the colored troops to Fort Ethan Allen Post, and that hereafter little trouble should be found in obtaining a comfortable place for the colored soldiers. By all means they should be assigned to duty where the people want them, and as Fort Ethan Allen is a first-rate military post, all the colored troops should be kept there—Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch. Subjective to The 'LANET. Only at 8.50 per year in advance. A Proclamation. Fourth Because during the progress of the attempted Special Grand Session after giving great and sorely oppression as to my authority to entertain the two propositions, I the debt of five thousand dollars ($7,000) created by reason of the New York litigation and the debt of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) to be created by reason of the proposed Elks Home to be built at or near Richmond Va. I decided that whether or not I had full authority to entertain such matters it was a bold and during attempt, to say the least on the part of the Atkins following to undertake to saddle these obligations upon my Subordinate Lodges they having been all allowed to consider these propositions same coming as a surprise and would have been but to impose upon the Subordinate Lodges of my Grand Lodge Taxation without Representation inasmuch as the Atkins following was determined to overthrow the terms of the Peace Conference and take into their own hands the control of the organization Fifth Because it was an evident desire on the part of the Atkins following to either rule or ruin the convention while our conduct had been absolutely fair in considering all questions that came before the convention and not once was there manifested any disorder otherwise than that which prevailed on the part of the Atkins following. In view of the great and continued disorder of the Atkins following in the Convention, I was forced to conclude that if for no other reason than that they were inclined to exhibit an brotherly disposition toward the members dictorial and domineering of my Grand Lodge, I decided that it was better that the two Grand Lodges remain agrees until Atkins following should become inclined to exhibit a more friendly feeling toward the members of my Grand Lodge. Sixth Because by the report of B Burton Coruitt, the national receiver of funds for litigation of the Atkins following in making his report at the attempted Special Session gave positive and explicit information that Alton B Parker, an attorney-at-law practicing in New York a recent Democratic candidate for the Presidency of the United States, had been engaged in the New York litigation by the Atkins following to defend the Atkins following against a split brought in the said state of New York by the White Elks against the said Atkins following to prohibit it from operating as Elks in the said state, and that the fee charged by the said Hon Alton B Parker was five thousand dollars ($5,000) conditioned however, that he should fail to win the suit, would only charge two thousand and five hundred dollars ($2,500) and that the said two thousand and five hundred dollars ($2,500) would have to be paid on or before the first day of September. I denominate raising of two thousand and five hundred dollars ($2,500) by the first of September, 1910, a hardship upon the organization, and that it would be impossible to raise the said sum at any time for any such purpose. Seventh Because the said Mr Cressi in making the said report, stated further that it was very doubtful as expressed by the Hon Mr Parker, whether he would be able to succeed in establishing the right of the Atkins following to operate its organization of Elks in the state of New York. I therefore concluded it was absolutely inexpert under all the circumstances for the "Parent Body" to take into its ranks at this time the Grand Lodge of Elks following in view of the fact following that it seemed doubtful whether the "Regular Organization" or the "Parent Body" could not be so drawn into the local context in New York to preclude the "Parent Body" from operating in the state of New York. If the Hon Mr Parker should be perchance lose the suit As it is now, if the Hon Mr. Parker should so be the guilt of the Atkins following, and that Following should be driven from the borders of New York, the "Parent Body" would still have a right to continue the operations of its order in the state of New York and the Atkins following would still have refuge from the force of the decree which the Hon. Mr. Parker believes it is impossible to avert, should this be considered proper. And further, I did not then, nor do I now, believe it is advisable to lend aid, by uniting now to a legal fight in New York to which our Grand Lodge is not a party and in which our Grand Lodge is in no way concerned. I believe the legal fight in New York should be fought out by the Atkins following. In view to all the foregoing I now, preclaim to all the Subordinate Lodges of the "Pa- rent Body" or "Regular Order" of Elks that they be and remain steadfast in their loyalty to the Grand Lodge, operating under the original Charter and Copyrights handed down to this Grand Lodge by B. F. Howard, Past Grand Exalted Ruler. I further proclaim, that all lodges desiring to be free from the oppression of the here-to-fore Atkins following, may freely unite with the "Regular Order" of Elks by making application to this office on or before the 15th day of September, A D 1910 Yours Fraternally, (Signed) DR.

Becoming convinced that Anderson Harris a former citizen of Wine county and in recent years a resident of the State Penitentiary had received rather a raw deal Governor Mann yesterday issued him a conditional pardon Harris is a colored man He was given eightteen years in the penitentiary for murder in the second degree and one year additional for unlawful wounding. According to a letter from J Body Mayor of Norton, Harris was attempting to escape from an assault at the time of the shooting The other man was chasing him with a knife when Harris turned and fired the fatal shot Mayor Body says that at the preliminary trial Harris was released being later indicted. The trial seems to have been gone into without giving much time for preparation the condition being the result The Mayor was surprised at the sentence at the time. In his notation the Governor says that the case goes to him one time of self defense, and he doubts if Harris might ever have been sent to the penitentiary. The convict has sent to Wine county. The petition for pardon was indorsed by the shefft treasurer, deputy sheriff clerk deputy clerk and chairman of the board of Supervisors of Wise county R P Bruce who was Commonwealth's Attorney at the time thinks the man has been sufficiently punished W A Matthews the trial judge recalls that the charge was not very clear at the time of the trial Richmond Va Times Dispatch August 9 1910 . . . SCARED NEGROES QUICK TO LEAVE Several Promptly Recross Dend Line, But Others Stay to Fight It Out. Newport News, Va. August 10 — Some of the negrons who recently moved into the white residential section of Virginia avenue have heeded the warning contained in the red plaid cards posted on their houses early Sunday morning and moved back across the "dead line" Others in the brick row near Twenty Fifth Street, which is owned by J E Warren, have made no preparations to move and are said to have voiced their determination to remain where they are in spite of the threats of violence. Moss Shepherd, who owns one of the houses into which the blues moved is reported to be very much stirred up by the warnings the white citizens have given the negrons and he called at the office of Mayor Jones and asked the mayor to take a hand in the matter Colonel Jones told him that there was nothing he could do and that he had best consult a lawyer. Shepherd then called on City Attorney Mashe, but Mr Mashe told him that the matter did not come within his jurisdiction as city attorney and that he would have to look elsewhere for aid. The negrons who occupied Mr Shephard's house at Virginia Avenue and Twenty-sixth Street moved out bright and early Monday morning All of them are said to have been thoroughly frightened by the red plaid cards posted on their homes and they were only too glad to get out of the white section.

This is not forth with peculiar power by faithless self. He compares the nation of Israel to a vineyard planted by God, the well-beloved, who had loved them with everlasting love. He did everything possible for them that they might bring forth the best fruits obedience a sincere worship righteous living the beauty of bounty love, joy peace and all the fruits of the Spirit intelligence noble character and missionary work among the nations. He placed them in the best country in the world for the purpose he hedged them round with laws and division institutions, and with his own loving care defended them from all enemies. But the expected fruit was not borned on these vines. He looked that it should bring forth grapes and it brought forth wild grapes "grapes of gall bitter clusters." God's Garden in 1 Cor 39, 9. Paul tells the Christians at Corinth that you are God's husbandry, which old fashioned word seems to have little meaning to us. The Restored Verse helps us to see its meaning. You are God's filled land." The twentieth century New Testament calls it God's harvestfield." It is a farm in an orchard, a garden in its larger meaning. There, too, God wants laborers each in his own garden to make it yield all graces, all virtues in Bounties, the Ten Commandments of the Frutus of the Spirit. You are to be part of the church as described in Acts 2 and of the redeemed earth and of Heaven pictured to us in the last chapters of Revelation. The laborers are all those who are helping to do the work on earth, who for him and with him are laboring to make the world what it ought to be full of all the fruits of the spirit, transformed into the kingdom of God. There is no such privilege in the world as to be laborers with God. 37. He went out about the third sixth ninth eleventh hour. Several times the household went after laborers for there was more work to be done than the first ones called could do. "Why stand ye here all day idle?" They an swerved that no man hath hired us" "No man would stand all day in the marketplace idle unless because he wanted work and could not get it"—Exp Gk Test "Call the laborers, and give them their hire. They received each one a penny, whether they had worked one hour or twelve "The first supposed that they should receive more" since they had "borne the burden and heat of the day," the scorching heat Having done more they felt that they ought to have larger pay; and they complained to the steward of their unfair treatment. Their very complaint showed that they were not truly the first and heat The Last First and the First Last - V 16 This saying with variations was repeated several times by Jesus, "no the last shall be first, and the first last." "Those are really first in God's sight in whom the destiny to be first has been overmapped by the spirit of love." This is true of nations, as the Jewish nation were first in time, first in opportunity, but they did not make use of their advantages and Christianity which was last has become the first. The Call for Laborers. There are two ways of increasing the number of laborers. One is by adding to their number, the other is by increasing the power and value of each one. There is a call for workers in the fields white to the harvest in every community, in every Sunday school, in every church. If people realized the value of "the penny a day" God gives, the blessing of personal work for Christ in every department, but especially in work among the children they would beg for the opportunity What Doctor Payson said of preachers it applicable to all, that if ministers realized the blessing and the opportunity God had conferred upon them they would leap and shout for joy "I am a minister of Christ, I am a minister of Christ." During the late war in Ashantees the chief officer of the Scotch Guards, when reviewing this splendid regiment, asked who among them would volunteer for the Ashantee expedition When he looked again he saw the regiment precisely as he had seen it to belong all in unbroken hands. What! said said he; the Scotch Guards, and no volunteer! Another officer replied; They have all stepped forward and volunteered. Consider what it would mean if every member of our great church should in this coming year take but one step forward! - Over Land and Sea LIVE STOCK Cow's Milk May Be Used If the Attendant Conducts Work Patiently and Intelligently (By A. B. MAXAMER Wisconsin College of Artillery) In case the mare dies or has no milk the foal may be raised on cow's milk if the attendant collects the work patiently and intently. Choose the milk of a cow that has recently calfed preferably one which gives milk low in butterfat, for mares milk while rich in sugar is poor in fat. Sweeten the milk with molasses or sugar and dilute with warm water. Give a little of this prepared milk at short intervals from a scaled nursing bottle and large rubber nipple. Keep careful to keep the bottle and nipple serpently clean. Add an amount of time water to each pint of the prepared milk and allow half a cupful once an hour at first. As the foal grows gradually increase the amount of milk fed and lengthen the intervals between feeds. Shire Mare and Foal In a few days foal may be given six times a day and later four times daily. The foal will soon learn to drink from a pail if allowed to suck the attendant fingers at first Until the bowels move freely give rectal impetus night and morning. If the fetal scours as any time give two to four tablespoons of a mixture of sweet oil and pure castor oil shake up in milk and stop feeding milk for two or three meals allowing sweetened warm water and lime water instead. If the foal look outomal as soon as it will eat and gradually increase the amount and add wheat bran. In five or six weeks some sweet skimmilk may be given and the amount gradually increased daily until in three months or so it may be given freely three times a day in place of new milk. The foal at this age also will be eating freely of grass grain and bean. At all times supply pure cold drinking water. Let the foal run out in a lot or grass paddock for exercise. Accustom it to be handled daily. Feed small quantities of nutritious food often, keeping all food vessels clean and the foal should thrive and develop well. The illustration shows an English shire mare and foal whille took the first prize at the London horse show last year.

He was born just as shown in the illustration with perfect legs and hoofs except that they are short. Raising the Calf The management of the calf during the first year has much to do with its later usefulness. Plenty of water and salt should be given in clean vessels. Avoid sudden changes of diet and practice regularity in feeding. Provide warm, dry quarters in damp weather. Give pliant of roughhage and not too much grain no as to develop a large capacity for handling food as is desirable in dairy animals. When the calf is six months to a year old milk may be omitted from its ration and a full roughhage and grain, diet substituted Care for Brood Sow When the sow farrows keep her quiet for a day or more and feed her plenty of water. A fill flow of milk for the pigs is not desired for the first two days. After that time the feed of the sow may be increased gradually. If the milk of the sow is started too soon the young pigs may not be able to take all of it at first, and caking and overbred result; OKLAHOMA PIQS ARE TRAINED Cattleman Finds Much Amusement in Training Various Farm Animals --Receive Reward.

VENTILATION FOR THE HOGS Absolutely Necessary That Animals Should Be Given Pure Air—Object Lesson in Chicago A great many farmers, and some of them pretty good farmers do not believe that ventilated loghouses are necessary. Any kind of a building or you are good enough for a log. What has you intention to do with a log's growth and health? There's a lesson in loghouses air that answers the question. At the cookhouse poor farm most ago one of the loghouses has a window with window poles the white beams it and the hinged ventilation is held a four wide above the window it the other house has no glass and is not ventilated. In this the loghouses are ventilated and then went out in the door and about thirty died from pneumonia and tuberculosis. The loghouses to the other house can in and out of the door is in county the same way we ventilated the log died from any cause. It is a practical lesson that cost over $100. It is barely possible that when you come to think it over it may dawn upon you that the cause of the death of some of your loghouses would be caused at. LIVE STOCK NOTES Sheep are excellent farm cleaners, weed killers and fertilizers. There is more profit in a granting big than in a squealing one. In some cases it may be necessary to dissolve some Epson salts in the feed. A team that works in the field all week should be allowed to rest on Sunday. Be sure the sows are not constipated. Give roots fruits and oilment in the feed. Too much feed should not be streamed at one time as it is apt to become sour and unpalatable. The fact that hogs require a great deal of water makes feed fed as slop more desirable than dry feed. If the horse must be kept in the barn during hot weather, keep all the doors and windows wide open. Every sheep owner should keep a pure-bred ram, but every man is not qualified to keep pure bred stock. Five minutes work *th a rough cloth on a horse a hide after a hard day a work will do him a lot of good. Everything possible should be done to bring the ewe to a vigorous flea forming condition at the mating period. The small stomach of the horse in indicates the impropriety of long fasting. Feed three times a day at all times of the year. Hogs fed on cornmeal and tankage require a great deal of water and this adds to the digestibility of the feed and helps to make gain. A hog will eat almost anything when very hungry, but his appetite should be tempted with palatable food if he is to make the greatest possible profit Steaming feed for hogs is an easy matter. All that is required is a large box connected with a small boiler by a one-inch pipe. The pipe should connect with the box at the bottom. Lay In Seed. Lay in a supply of seed early for sowing after such crops as rye and cowpeas in the corn at the last cultivation. Itye is especially good on corn land inclined to wash, as the plants aid greatly in holding the soil. These crops will improve the nature of the soil and will afford some good pasture after the corn is harvested.

To rid your garden of ants effectually, you must first find the location of the nests They can then be easily destroyed by benzoin, gasoline bisulphide of carbon or boiling water The large ants which sometimes make their nests above the surface of the grass on the lawn should be destroyed by bisulphide of carbon Punch a number of holes in the nests and pour a teaspoonful of carbon down each hole Throw a dark blanket over the holes for a few moments, then remove it and explode the carbon by means of a light at the end of a pole. The slight explosions drive the fumes down through the underground tunnels and destroy the ants Care of Cucumbers Cumbers for pickling may be planted as late as the middle of July. Bordeaux mixture three ounces to a gallon of water is an effective remedy for the yellow-striped beetle which attacks cucumbers, melons and squashs in the early summer, and is also the preventive for blight.

This can only be done very early in the morning or after sundown. They are very active during sunshine, but semi-dormant in the early hours of the day. CREATE LOVE FOR THE FARM Farmere' Co-Operative Demonstration Work Has Solved Problem of Agricultural Life. One of the greatest problems before the American people has been how to interest in rural life and attach to the farm the young man who has acquired a capacity for leadership. The loss of rural leaders by emigration to the city has been one of the most serious retrogressive factors in our whole civilization. The Farmers' Cooperative demonstration work has solved the problem. These young men left the farm because they were repelled by the hardship, excessive toll, and meager gains on the farm and were allured by a "sparingly greater opportunity to acquire health." Knights of Pythias, This organization is one of the most powerful in the country and its progress has been phenomenal. The Grand Lodge of Virginia has jurisdiction over all of the cities and counties in this state. Thirty males are required to organize a new lodge. The benefits paid constitute one of its strongest features, but the principles are greater than anything else. Founded on Friendship, based on Charity and established on Benevolence, the respectable, upright people of the state will find it an order worthy of their heartiest support. It pays an endowment and burial benefit of of $200.00 for all ages. It pays $4.00 per week sick dues. The badge costing 75 cents each is the only absolutely necessary regalia. For information concerning the organization of lodges apply at the main office. The Courts of Calanthe The Courts of Calanthe Is the Female Department of the Order. It requires a membership of thirty persons to organize a court. Its members are pledged to exhibit Fidelity, exercise Harmony and prove Love one for the other. It pays an endowment and burial benefit of $150.00. It pays $3.00 per week sick dues. The only expense for regalia is the cost of the badge, 50 cents and a rosette, costing 25 cents for funeral occasions.

The demonstration work undertakes to create in the school a love of the farm and a love of by showing the wonderful possibilities of the soil when properly managed and the case with which wealth and distinction are achieved in real life when science and art join hands. This is worked out by the cooperation of the demonstration workers in the county superintendent of public instruction, and the teachers. The superintendent and teachers organize the schoolboys over ten years of age into clubs the demonstration work furnishes the plan of organization and the instructions which the boys agree to observe. The respective parents furnish land teams and implements the merchants and bankers provide the prizes and the local papers give the publicity. Each boy must personally work one acre under the same regulations governing all other contests. The result of 300 to 400 boys entering such a contest in a county around intense interest. The boy learns the best way to raise corn or cotton and his appreciation of the farm is greatly enhanced. The boys in the corn contest of one county in Mississippi last year averaged a production of 74 bushels of corn per acre while the farmers averaged less than 20. In South Carolina one boy raised 182 bushels on a measured acre while the state average was 16. FARM NOTES There is one sure way of preventing large weeds from growing in the garden kill all the small ones. White onions are very much butter keepers than the follow variety al though the latter grow larger. The best garden seed are not al ways found in the packages on which are found the prettiest pictures. Keep the cultivator and the hoe going in the sweet corn patch. Not a weed should be allowed to grow in it. While it costs from $8 to $11 to grow an acre of corn, it costs less than four dollars to grow and save an acre of hay. It is best to sow grass seed with a drill on light sandy or sandy loam soils, as it is less likely to dry out in dry seasons. Arsenate of lead will not destroy the black squash bug and other sucking insects. They must be picked off by hand and squashed. The extensive root systems of grass crops especially clovers open up the subshell, increase the supply of humus and are of great value to the soil. Coal ashes contain no fertilizing value and our experience is that they only serve to pack the soil instead of making it friable. Wood ashes are diffrent. The average wheat yield of America is only about 4 bushel to the acre while in England the land that has been farmed for hundreds of years averages about 20 bushels. In the mild climates, lettuce may be set out in the fall in beds protected by glass or cloth and this delicious vegetable may be had through most of the winter months. If other remedies fail, spray the cucumber-vines with arsenate of lead. It destroys the yellow-striped beetle, which is the most dangerous enemy of the cucumber, and requires the most vigilant watching.

Value of Drainage Drainage prevents loss of crops and labor from stagnant water, permits air to circulate more freely through the soil, carrying with it fertilizing properties, making a warmer soil that can be cultivated early for dry soil works easier than wet roots go down deeper in it and get a greater supply of plant food and more moisture in a dry season Drainage also prevents baking and cracking. Growing Cultivated Crops Cultivated crops include corn, potatoes mangles and all root crops that are planted in rows and cultivated during growth. Such crops have been regarded as beneficial to soil fertility, but investigation at the experiment stations shows that continuous growth of cultivated crops depletes the soil more rapidly than does the growing of grain continuously.

"What will you charge to let me in?" then asked the man outside. "Just fifty bucks to see the show," the ticket man replied. "Oh, he'll soak that Johnnie John son; you will hear the black smoke swirl." That Jeff will land some awful ones, he'll kill the nig. that all He will get him in a corner, he will wallop him for fair. For Jeffries has come back. I know, I'm talkin' on the square." 'But what are bettors sedgin' for?' then asked the man outside. 'They're just afraid they'll lose their coin.' the ticket man replied. 'But why should they be frightened thus?' then asked the man outside. Well Jeffries doesn't look so good. the ticket man replied. You see John Johnson's in the ring he's prancin' up an' down. His frame looks mighty big an' sleek his skin is smooth and brown But Jeffries in his corner sista and all the while chews gum: He's lookin' kind nervous-like. it seems he's lackin' some.' Why are they raising hell just now?" then asked the man outside Well. Jack's closed Jeffries' oye up tight," the ticket man replied "I hear some awful groans in there," then said the man outside. Well. Jeff is groanin' some, its true," the ticket man replied. The light is on, this Johnson man is leaflin' every round. He's mashed his nose, he's bruised his ear, an now he's cut his lip ' 'What's that so black against the sun?' then asked the man out side "That's Johnson standin' over Jeff," the ticket man replied "Why does he wait for Jeff to rise?" then asked the man outside. "So he can sonk him once again," the ticket man replied. The fightin' over now, you see, the crowd begins to leave; The blacks are cheerin' hard for Jack, but white men only grieve. For in their pride and bank rolls, too, there is an awful slack. They put their coin on Jeff and lost, for he could not come back. JEFF SHOULD STOP TALKING ABOUT FIGHT, SAYS ED SMITH Declare There Was Nothing Wrong In Recent Battle. (BY E. W SMITH) Chicago, July 26 — Silence is the thing most desired from James J. Jeffries by his real friends at the present time Jim's latest outburst about there having been "something wrong" with the fight meets with sad looks from his old pals and a laugh from those who were stung into bottling on him in the recent flacco. Maybe Jeff did not mean it the way it looked in type. The world knows there was something wrong, but the world also in proximity will convinced it was Jeff's and nobody else's hand that had any hand in patting him out of business. If Jeff cannot understand just what was the matter and is harboring any dark suspicions, and has a single fact upon which to base anything dark, let him out with it right away and let's look into it. Otherwise Jeff is merely making a bad case a lot worse by hissing and then relapsing into silence again. The silence first without the hints would have been the correct tip. There isn't a chance in the world of Jeffries ever making another fight with any danger of succeeding. The black man had "his goat" and has it yet. That is what was wrong with the battle Jeffries trained too long and had too much chance to think over the whole situation. When the picture in his mind's eye of that big black man whipping his brother Jack drifted into his mind twenty times a day as the hour for facing the awful thing drew near, the goat took his departure for Johnson's training camp and there remained. It is idle to talk of another match. The battle was fought and the result, while a humiliation to the white race, was absolutely true and beyond question. The better man won; Johnson has it on Jeff and probably always will have. There was not a single thing else about the fight excepting the "mental collapse." There was no dope used on Joff, and there wasn't anything fixed or faked. Everything possible was done for Joffries, and he got the beat of attention every minute. He would not box when he needed to. Perhaps his ego is still so large there is no regret. At any rate, Johnson showed such marked superiority that afternoon under the Nevada sun that there is no possible question about the result. Joffrey would make more friends if he submitted it the inexpensive and did not try to eat meat. TROUBLE WITH A SCULPTOR Jack Johnson's Trouble. New York, August 2.—Cartino Scalarino, an Italian sculptor, residing at 515 West Forty-second Street, has instituted a suit for $4,000 against the ebony champion. When John J. Freschi, attorney for the clay coaster, went to Baron Wilkins' resort in West Thirty-fourth Street, to serve the titleholder with a warrant it was discovered that the bird had flown. It is said that Johnson made for Atlantic City when he learned that trouble was in store for him. Scalarino's claim for the amount he seeks, the sculptor claims is due him for making a bust in bronze of the bronzed champion. Johnson was so eager for a cast of himself that he spent several hours each day for several weeks in posing for the sculptor. ALWAYS CARRIES BODYGUARD. Big Jack always came to the studio with an escort or three or four huskies. This bodyguard always attended Johnson in his journeys, for the big black stall has a premonition that some one is intent on doing him bodily harm. It was agreed between the sculptor and Johnson that the Italian was to receive $3,000 to $4,000 for his services, the amount to be determined when the model was completed Johnson was satisfied with the bust when it was completed and he offered the sculptor $4,000. Johnson said he would pay for the work last week. He stalled until Friday, on which day he said he would settle Sclarino went for his money, but Johnson was not in his usual hants's service still has the bust. The sculptor's storing says he will leave papers by publication. Jeffries Tells How He Lost; "Better Man Won." That's All. By James J. Jeffries. I tried That's all I ask credit for I was beaten fairly and squarely I have no excuses of any kind to make Let full credit he given to Jack Johnson for his victory He is a truly great fighter I would have remained the retired and undefeated heavyweight champion of the world, but the American public demanded that I try to take away the championship from a black man I don't regret my defeat so much as I do that it was a negro that beat me, thereby establishing himself as the best man in the world I would rather have been beaten three times over by a man of my own race than to have been the means of placing a negro in this position. It was to tear Johnson away from this honor that I consented to fight I shot at the mark, but missed it There is nothing left to do but to congratulate the winner The color line should be drawn outside the ring. It cannot be dragged inside the ropes. When two men face each other for battle one of them must not be discriminated against because his skin is black. Keep him out of the ring entirely or give him fair play DECLARES JOHNSON WON ON HIS MERIT I took a chance at winning the greatest honors that could have been hoaged upon a professional boxer. Johnson took a chance with me. He won. There should be no "ifs" and in which it was won and lost. I went down trying with every ounce of energy in my body to bring back the world's heavyweight champion ship to the white race. Johnson won strictly on his merits as a fighter. That all there is to it. Very simple when we come to think it all over. This is no time to write of my future plans or prospects. That I will never attempt to fight again goes without saying. I did everything that mortal man could do to bring myself back into fighting form. I actually believed that I had accomplished it. I felt that I was myself again. that I was as good physically as I was when I retired a few short years ago. I was mistaken. That is another point settled. Small use for me to try to describe the fight. When a man is fight, he does not see what is being done, he feels I might tell you how I felt, but that would be all. The conditions under which we fought were all fair and impartial if the sun was hot to me it was hot to Johnson also. If the attitude was unfavorable to me it was unfavorable to the negro. We had nothing but our fists between us. NO FAULT IN TRAINING OR CONDITION The way I was treated after the fight was a credit to the intelligence or the men who saw the battle. Not one aneurysm did I see. Not one unkind word did I hear. On all sides it was. You did the best you could or knew Jim. That's all we expected. "I am thankful that this feeling oxalis. I suppose that my battle will be picked and repicked to pieces by the sporting writers, boxing authorities and fight critics. Attempts will be made to show how I could have fought a different and better battle. It will be claimed that my training was at fault. Let me answer these now. My training was all that it could possibly have been. My condition was as good as it could possibly have been. In fact, my condition was more than remarkable. It was wonderful that I should have been able to effect the physical changes that I did. As for my fight—it was the best fight that was left in me. Had I met Johnson when I was in my prime, the result would have been different. I would have beaten him. As it was. I wore myself down and was beaten as much by the effects of my own exertions as I was by Johnson's blows. The good judges of fighting say that I had no chances in win after the fifth round, yet if you will read THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.

The Best Romance We Have Ever Given You To Commence in the Issue of the 27th, Page 2. over the details of the first two rounds you will not find that I was punished to any extent HOW HE FELT IN EACH ROUND We might felt each other out in the first round. I was testing the negro's stock in trade, he was testing mine. We both joked through the slow second round. We were starting out over the long 45 round route, a fact that we both were thinking of at this time. There wasn't a real hard punch exchanged in the third round, not one. I figured that I had a good one in the fourth I got through with a couple of wallops to my man's body and I reached his face Johnson's mouth was bleeding when the bell rang at the end The fifth was a fairly hard round. My lip was cut along about this point. They say that the pictures will show that I was looking worried at the finish of this round. If so, what was I worried about? Surely not over the slight amount of punishment that I had taken. This worried look. If it was there, must have been the first signs I was showing of my loss of strength. If Johnson was on boxing me in the slit I gave no beed (to it). I know I had a left that I could win by getting in my best punch to the right spot. Johnson's seconds shouted wildly in the seventh, when my nose began to show blood. This meant nothing to me. I have had bloody noses and black eyes before and yet I always conquered the men who gave the unpleasant badges to me. KNEW THAT HE WAS TIRING IN THE EIGHTH. I knew as well as anybody that I was tiring in the oldgh, but I guess the picture films will show that I was still fighting. From this point until the final round I was trying, always trying, to send in some sort of a punch that would weaken the negro. As I said in the beginning, I only ask credit for trying. I slaved to obey the will of the public. Had I neglected one single item in my long battle for condition I would feel that any criticism directed towards me was deserved. As it is, I believe that I deserve credit from my people, what in more I feel that I will get it. Is This the Now South at Last? General George W. Gordon, commanding the United Confederate Veterans, has issued an appeal to Southerners to contribute to a monument to the micro slaves who during the civil war stayed at home and while their masters were at the front took care of the women and children on the plantations raised crops for their support, nursed them guarded them and generally played the part of faithful servitors and friends Simul taneously the free and independent white citizens of Palestine. Texas and its immediate neighborhood have been engaged in chasing and murdering the innocent and helpless negroes within their reach upon a pretext of revenge. We consider So far as it went it was a massacre pure and simple for which nothing in extermination can be said. We often wonder whether some parts of the South are really as South as they proudly and nobly persist. It seems to us, on the contrary, that they are only professionally so. like the battered 'Colonels' and "Majors" who hang about the barrisons of this town. Five years ago Atlanta surrendered itself to a negro killing "carnival" which put it in the class with Ohio and Illinois, but then Atlanta is not a Southern town and everybody knows it. Tex. as, however, has hitherto been regarded as genino, though the Brownsville incident involved the theory in some doubt. This Palestine affair is most disturbing. The restraints to which we have become accustomed in other Southern States even Arkansas and Mississippi, have been conspicuous by their absence in this case. Even if there were a burning provocation, which so far is in some doubt, it is clear that the subsequent proceedings were characterized by all the blind fury and degraded savagery that have characterized "color" outbreaks at the North. It was not the usual Southern purpose to punish the individual offender. It was a barbaric and organized effort to exterminate the race. In the whole South drifting away from its old affections and its hereditary obligations of gratitude? General Gordon finds but a languid response to a suggestion which thirty or forty years ago would have touched every Southern heart. Palatine informs us that race hatred is as burning there as in Oklahoma, and race prejudice as strong as in New York.

During the last week great numbers of Republicans and of independent voters from all over the State have written me urging the passage of direct primary legislation. I have seen Governor Hughes and have learned your views from your representative. It seems to me that the Cobb bill with the amendments proposed by you, meets with the needs of the situation. People demanded it. I most earnestly hope that it will be enacted into law." July 1—The Assembly, under the direction of Speaker Wadsworth killed the Cobb and all other direct nominations measures, amid violent attacks upon Roosevelt for "butting in" CONFERS WITH BRISTOW July 2—The former President conferred with Senator Bristow, Representatives Murdock and Madison and other Kanaas "insurgents," told them they were "fine fellows." They went back to Kansas, proclaimed Roosevelt to be behind them and completed the overthrow of the "Canon Stand pattern." July 5—To Miles Polindexter, member of Congress from Washington, a candidate for the Senate sent of Piles favorite of Secretary of the Interior Ballinger, Roosevelt said "By George, I am with you, and you can rest assured that I will do all I can to help you into the office. The same day Roosevelt made it happen he would stand by Gliffon Pinchol, removed as chief forester by Secretary Ballinger and President Taft, and that he would not indorse the Taft administration so long as Ballinger was retained in the Taft Cabinet. July 6- Senators Cummins and Doliver, of Iowa, were personally assured that they would have the Colonel's hacking in repudiating Taft at the Republican State Convention. They went home and defeated a resolution indorsing Taft by an overwhelming vote. TO SPEAK FOR BEVERIDGE. July 7—"Insurgent" Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, was promised that Roosevelt would take the stump and do all he could to secure his re-election. July 11—Speaker Wadsworth was personally rebuked for defying the Roosevelt command for the enactment of the Cobb direct nominations act and was practically warned that he would be driven out of official life if he perished in fighting "my policies." Wadsworth boldly retorted "I have no apologies to make and would do what I have done over again under similar circumstances." July 12. After an all-night conference with Governor Hughes, during which the Governor again declined to stand for a third term, Roosevelt declared he would go ahead to the Govorship this Fall is this. I want to find the best man for the office—the man who is most acceptable to the rank and file of the Republican Parties and the independent voters. I intend to do everything in my power to see that such a man is elected." Hughes had suggested that Comptroller Clark Williams ought to be his boss Roosevelt declined to give his OK to Williams, but reaffirmed his belief that William Loeb (if he would run) of Henry L. Stimson ought to head the State ticket. The conference ended without an agreement on a candidate. The Roosevelt Hughes combine then collapsed. Gifford Pinchot announced that he had been commissioned by Colonel Roosevelt to take the stump for Hum Johnson's insurgent candidate for Governor of California and for William Kemp's "insurgent" candidate for Congress against Uncle Joe Cannon a friend Representative McKinley. July 13 Roosevelt anxiously accused Chairman Timothy L. Wood ruff of the Republican State Committee of plotting with William Barnes Jr. and James W Wadsworth Jr. to seattle the Republic can ship. Woodruff was notified that he must quit as State Chairman before the Fall campaign begins and that he would be supplanted by N. V. Franholt or some other Roosevelt biographer. Woodruff weekly answered that he would get out as soon as his successor is selected. July 14 Chairman Griscom of the New York Republican County Committee and former Chairman Herbert Parsons arranged with Roosevelt for cutting the group from under the feet of the group Kings, Kings of Albany and Wads. In Livingston Roosevelt directed that none but advocates of my politics he delegates to the Republican State Convention Roosevelt the same day instructed Representative Charles N. Fowler of New Jersey how to solidify the "issuance" campaign in his home State. July 15 Roosevelt permitted it to become known that he was in sympathy with ex-Secretary Garfield's efforts to influence party policies in Ohio. July 17 Garfield was not nominated nor was his name presented to the Ohio convention "Nick" Longworth Roosevelt's son in law was also defeated for the nomination. Harding a Foraker deputant was placed at the head of the ticket, and all the Taft and not the Garfield policies were indorsed. July 9 Despite Roosevelt's inference and openly proclaiming backing his nephew Theodore Douglas Robins was overlyingly defeated for the Republican Congress nomination in the Holderman district State Committee Strobel declared We present the ex-President's intrusion and we feel that he has not added to his popularity by his course as regards his nephew. New York American Jill Negroz Enjoy Prospect of Living at City's Expense Without Work or Worry Justice Cutchfield vested had the hardest day a work in his long and interesting career as Police Justice, for he had considerably more than four cases before him most of them being numbers of the two gages of various bakers rounded up by the police in both districts early Sunday morning. To the worst he gave sentences or thirty days in jail to the others he gave ten day sentences. The gang was not removed from the cells in the courtroom to the City Hall until after 5 o'clock. While they were waiting to be carried away they passed the time by singing, their songs being heard by city employees on the fourth floor of the City Hall. The negroz seemed not to mind their situation. They will be just as happy in fall as on the streets and three good meals a day will be their portion. "It would be better and considerably more beneficial," said a city official, "if they could be sent to work on the roads. They don't mind being locked up for a short term. They are relieved of all responsibility and some of them would probably rather be in jail than on the streets." Justice Crutchfield said: This is the hardest day's work I have had since being Police Justice. I'm trying to give the people of Richmond a clean, orderly city, but I am subjected to much criticism. They say I make mistakes. Do you wonder that mistakes are made sometimes when I have such a crowd as this to deal with?"—Times-Dispatch. Aug. 10, 1910. OUR CALENDARS FOA 1911.

He was sentenced to stay days in jail, to pay a fine of $100 and was placed under $500 security for twelve months. He appealed and was bated in the sum of $100 for his appearance before the October term of the Hustings Court. Magistrate W J. Griggs sat in the hearing in the stood of Justice Crutchfield who retired because he had issued a bench warrant against the negro the day before. The first charge of selling liquor in the place was made against Bunda Davies, but she was acquitted because she showed that Price was the lessee of the house Police Officers Brantley and Kuhn testified that Price raided the house, but did not see money exchanged. Witnesses found in the house testified however that they had made purchases. A Chance For a Few Worthy Young Men and Women to Get an Education by Their Work at the Christianburg Industrial Inst. E.
