Editor That Graphic Re Sold His Belon Negro Labor riages==He KILLED HIS WIFE AND (Continued From Last Week.) A TEXAS JOURNEY. There was no city of any size in which we could stop over night. Our nearest point was El Paso which was the city of the international bridge and which was separated from Mexico only by the sluggish waters of the Rio Grande River. We were snow going through the ranch land of Texas. For miles and miles, nothing could be seen but level country. When we saw cows, there were no horses with them. When we saw horses, there were no cows with them. They were kept separate. Every horseman rode like a veteran and invariably could be seen the lasso or rope attached to the pommel of the saddle. We saw colored men too, similarly fitted up. A PORTER'S RECITAL. Although there was a similarity of the scenes, we did not tire of the sight. We were in a new country. Finally we talked to the train porter, a colored man of medium build. Asked as to conditions, he said that there was plenty of money to be made now in Texas by colored men. "But," he remarked, "as soon as it is known that a colored man is prosperous and has money he is forced to leave by the whites who are not doing so well. It is not so bad near the cities, but away from the cities the conditions are awful. HAD MANY TROUBLES "I owned a saloon," said he, "at Eagle Lake. Was doing well, making money. These white men would send men in there to get up fights and to injure my place. Two white men came in there and demanded drinks without paying for them and cursed and swore. I ordered them out and finally had to fight with one of them. I beat the blood out of him with the butt end of my revolver. It went off and they swore out a warrant against me for attempted murder. I employed a smart lawyer and he got me out of the scrape, but I had to close up the place for little or nothing and leave. "I had a nice home there too, and as they gave me to understand that I would be killed if I did not leave, I made a sacrifice and got a woman to buy my place for four hundred dollars, although she had no money at the time. I lost about twenty-five hundred dollars. HORRIBLY BEATEN. "I have been back there since, trying to collect the money that was due me. While I was standing at the station talking to a colored man who is a barber at Eagle Lake, two white men came up. One of them had an axe-helve and the other one a hoe handle. They knocked and beat the colored barber until the blood flowed from his wounds. They beat him to the ground. I told him to fight, but they said that they would attend to me if I had anything to do with it. I knew one of them well for I had worked with him. ONLY WANTED HIS MONEY The colored man that they beat almost to death had been shaving the white man, and he owed him for the work and would not pay him. The colored man said that he would not shave him any more until he paid him. He considered this a reflection upon his character he said and had beaten him in that manner on account of it." As we had passed this station but a short time before, we had a vivid recollection of the story told by this train porter, who after this treatment had gone to rail-roading and who now looked at his old home only from the steps of a "Sunset Limited" as the train is called. THE HIRING OF LABORERS. The train had whistled for a sta- tion and the colored porter had gone to discharge his duties after which he returned to our seat and upon further questioning continued his recital. "White men," said he, "hire colored laborers, both men and women to work on the farms. They agree to pay them $1.25 and even $1.50 per day but they do not see any of that money. They will build houses or shanties for them in a settlement on the plantation and erect a dance hall. NO MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP These colored folks do not marry, and the men and women take up together and just have a good time. They gamble and dance after the work is done. The white men have commissary stores and these colored hands go there and trade out all of the money that is coming to them. They are kept in debt to the store and they never see any money. If a Negro is a trusty, the boss may give him fifteen dollars or so to go to town and have a good time. The others cannot get away. "If a man has a wife and children and respects himself and saves his money, he is not allowed to stay with the other Negroes, for fear that he may get similar notions in their heads, and demand their money and save it." We had listened to this story with intense interest, for when we stopped at the railroad crossing at Lake Charles, Louisiana we had seen conditions such as he described. Young girls and men were roaming up and down the railroad track. Men were attempting to caress women and the sight reminded us of the tenderloin districts in some of the Southern cities. A RISE IN VALUES Our attention was called to the marsh land which at one time could have been purchased for thirty cents per acre, but which was now bringing twenty-five and thirty dollars per acre, due to the system of drainage adopted and the ability to get and market the wood obtained from it. They built ditches or canals and when the water drained to these highways, logs were floated down to saw mills where they were cut up into timber for use in our great country of civilization. COLONISTS WANTED We saw large black tanks at some of the stations. They looked like the gas-holders in some of our large cities and they were said to contain oil for the locomotives. Occasionally we saw town sites staked off in Texas with no towns in sight. There is a craze through this section for colonists, but as human life is held too cheap, all colonists pass onward to California. THOSE RACE SIGNS The passenger coaches in Texas have the race signs on the outside instead of on the inside as in Virginia. They are fastened on the corner just as one steps up on the platform. They read "For Whites," "For Negroes." They are of tin with white letters printed on a black background. Most of the stations have the same designation as to waiting rooms, but a few have "For Whites," "For Colored." All along the route Mexicans could be seen working as laborers, and in some instances, they may be easily taken for Indians. A WEALTHY COLORED MAN We had gotten tired and we decided to go out and "stretch our limbs" at Del Rio, Texas. We did so as the sun was setting and we saw the Mexicans selling fruit to the passengers. A colored citizen of large size approached and greeted us. We gave him a picture of the Mechanic's Savings Bank. His surprise knew RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5. 1910. no bounds when we supplemented this with one of the booklets of the same institution. He proved to be Mr. H. W. Patton, said to be one of the wealthiest colored men in that section and yet he was so unassuming and unpretentious that he might easily have been mistaken for a railroad hand. ALL SURPRISED It was surprising to note the surprise everywhere manifested whee the Mechanics' Bank building picture was shown to conductors, trainmen, porters and passengers. This was a new experience for them and for us. We had a long night's ride ahead and when the train stopped at a place where we saw no station, we were told to look out of the window and see a relative of Hon. Theodore Roosevelt. He owned a ranch at this point and the train stopped on special orders to permit him to get there. We saw him and he bore a striking resemblance to the distinguished ex-President. (Continued On Fifth Page.) Life of Edward Shorts Brown Edward Shorts Brown was born of slave parents in the year 1850, son of Thomas and Salille Brown sister of Edward Shorts; sold when he was a small boy, carried to North Carolina after the war, in the year 1865. He walked from Danville, Va, to Richmond City to his grandmother. Here he was taken in charge by his uncle, Edward Shorts, the father of S. W. and Peter B. Shorts. His uncle was then Janitor of the Court of Appeals, Judge R. C. L. Mon cure; President; the Circuit Court of the City of Richmond, John A. Meredith, Judge and the Circuit Court of Henrico County, Judge Joseph Christian, Judge. He was made Messenger along side of Edward Shorts' sons. At the time of the Capitol disaster, he was with the Circuit Court of the City of Richmond, on Main Street, opposite the Post Office. After that Mr. Philip Cary Nicholas, the Law Librarian made him Janitor and Assistant Librarian, where he continued to serve until his death. Edward S. Brown had a limited education. He attended the day school at St. Phillip's Church, 4th Street, attended night school at Navy Hill School, his teacher being Mrs. Usher, a public school teacher. He also attended the night school of Rev. Kirby a white Baptist Minister. He continued his studies and that of law. He married Miss Mary Lucas, the daughter of Mrs. Harriet Lucas, in the year 1881. His wife died in 1898. He was elected a Justice of the Peace for Jackson Ward and licensed to practice law October 3, 1893. He was appointed Notary Public September 7, 1900 by Governor J. Hoge Tyler and continued to serve until his death. He represented in Grand Lodges of Masons and Odd Fellows. He was a 32d degree Mason. Depositors of Savings Bank, G. F. U O. T.

Apply WILLIAM CARTER, 721 N. Second St., Richmond, Va. MR. CARTER SPEAKS. A Few Words About the True Reformers. To the Editor of The PLANET, Dear Sir: It is not in a spirit of blitterness that I write concerning the downfall of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, but in that of sympathy for those who will feel the loss of hard earnings they have put in the organization for the improvement of domestic conditions and of regret for "the gross mismanagement if not criminal negligence of its present and former management" which caused the inevitable crash. Much money, time and labor, have gone down with the grandest of secret organizations among the Negro people. I regret it—regret it more than pen can write, not so much for the personal loss to myself, but more so for the disappointment which it will bring to others, whose hopes were centered in its once prosperous condition that gave promise and encouragement to the Negro race. But to judge of the lethargical way in which the business of the organization was transacted, of its tardiness in business correspondence, and of giving answers to important questions concerning the immediate affairs of the constitutional work, the crash is in no way a surprise to the writer. The long delay of receipts for money sent, and of replies to letters seeking official information showed the dilatory method, if not the Czar-like ruling at the Fountain head. Too often it is the case in the secret organizations of the Negro people, that favoritism, selfish sentiment and ignorance rules, where intelligence, business experience and many capacity should prevail. It is now evident that Rev. Taylor should have been superceded by a majority vote, if not by acclamation by one of great er business capacity, of sagacity and accuracy, before or at the end of his first term, instead of being retained to work ruin beyond resuscitation to the great organization. But instead of this, some sat in dissatisfied silence, rather than to raise their voices in objection. In the ($50,000) fifty thousand dollar deal when the Grand Fountain was sold to the Grand Fountain, when the members thereof owned it, through initiation fees and monthly dues, and which was the beginning of this deplorable end. Many disapproved of the act but dared not to make it known. But after a reconsideration the writer disapproved and made it known through the columns of The PLANET. Then as now, it is not his intention to be personal, but must disapprove of "the gross mismanagement" and of the Czar-like spirit that was then created and of the gag-law then established by the grand ruling head—which has come on down through the years until the persistent endeavors of many honest souls and the future object of many wage earners have been crowned with absolute failure and the officers now face a humiliated condition without knowing what may be the end. But let us hope that good may yet come of evil, that order may follow disorder, that everywhere the good will and former confidence of the Negro people may prevail, that again the great organization may be re-established.

Watkins of Chicago, Ill., who is also Supreme Attorney of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A., A. and A. reports that in conjunction with other able counsel, he defended the Grand Lodge of Mississippi in the suit of the white Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of the World, restraining the colored Grand Lodge from using the words Knights of Pythias. The case was under consideration for a week and the Chancellor before whom the case was heard decided that the colored Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias was the older corporation in that State and that the white Knights of Pythias did not have the prior and exclusive right to the words, "Knights of Pythias." The Chancellor sustained the contents of the attorneys for the colored Grand Lodge throughout the hearing.

Baptist Notes. W. F. Graham, D. D. Well, we have been recently to New York in attendance upon the Baptist State Convention. The Convention met with the St. Stephen's Baptist Church, Astoria, Long Island. Rev. Brother Lynch is the excellent pastor of that church, a young man whom all the brethren respect and esteem. He is making a most successful pastor. This was our first visit to the New York Convention. We regret very much that we have not been attending it at other times. It was a great and blessed meeting. Busness, brotherly love, and profound respect for one another's feelings characterized the whole convention. It was a week of religious enjoyment. The women had their Convention at the same place, preceding the brethren the first and second day. We were very proud indeed to look upon them for their souls were stirred for the work of the Master. We were received with a hearty welcome by both Conventions and given opportunity to lay the work of the Virginia Baptist State Convention and Virginia Seminary before them. We also preached the Doctrinal Sermon in the place of the late and highly respected Rev. Brother Royster. The brethren are wedded to our school work at Lynchburg. They declare that Virginia Seminary, having been voted the educational plant of the Northern States should be supported by the same, as well as by Virginia, District of Columbia and Maryland. The brethren say that the school at Lynchburg is theirs and that when they put money into it they know where t is going; therefore when we called upon them to (Continued on Fifth Page.) TRUE REFORMERS' TROUBLES. Trying to Raise Money.—Moral Support Pledged.—Depositors to Meet. There have been no further developments in the failure of the True Reformers' Bank and the inability of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers to pay its death claims and other obligations. The firm of Messrs. John L. Williams & Sons, bankers and brokers with the cordial approval of Mr. Stewart Bryan have been endeavoring to devise a plan to save the Order by making terms with the beneficiaries of the past due policies. Mr. W. P. Burrell Grand Worthy Secretary is the leading figure in this movement and has high hopes of meeting with success. If this plan goes through, it will be the result of an agreement by which the present assets of the Order can be pledged to this banking firm as a security for the fifty thousand dollars which are now needed to give the Order a "running start" so to speak. While there has been some talk about arrests on account of the action of the bank officials in receiving deposits after they knew the bank was unable to meet its obligations, which offense is a felony, no definite steps have been taken in this respect. The Independent Order of St. Luke Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, G. W. S. pledged their moral support at a meeting held last Monday night at the Second Baptist Church. Mr. J. H. Sampson and Dr. James A. Jackson have called a meeting of the depositors at the Pythian Castle, 727 N. Third Street for Next Monday night. The indications are that the Hall will be packed. Grand Chancellor Creswill Dead C. D. Creswill, Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A., A. and A. of Georgia, died in Georgia this week. While he has been subject to drastic spells of sickness, his death at this time was unexpected. He stood high in Pythian circles, being a member of the Committee on Law and Supervision of the Supreme Lodge. He recently attended a meeting of that Committee in Chicago, Ill. He was spoken of as a candidate for the position made vacant by the death of John W. Strauther.

Services at Fifth Street Baptist Church last Sunday were extra good, In the morning Pastor W. F. Graham preached a fine sermon. The choir as usual rendered sweet music. The Pastor dealt largely upon Christian duty showing the importance of the Church to so let its light sainte that its influence might be felt in every walk of life. He impressed the Congregation with the fact that every dishonest act of any individual member of the Church is detrimental to Christian influence and the Church in general. The Doctor seems to be of the opinion, judging from his discourse, that Churches have drifted too far from the landmark relative to purgation at times when needed, and thus lose much of its power and influence thereby. Services at night were fair. --- Prayer Service on Wednesday nights is growing more and more interesting each week. We hope to have an extra good prayer meeting Wednesday night.

Supreme Vice Chancellor Dead. John W. Strauther of Mississippi, Supreme Vice Chancellor of the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E. A., A. and A., exonucleo Supreme Worthy Counselor of the Supreme Court died at his home in Greenville, Miss. October 13, 1910, under suspicious circumstances. It seems that he had an altercation with his wife, which led to blows and within twenty minutes thereafter he was a corpse. The family physician arrived just before he breathed his last but found that he was past medical skill. It was thought that he had been poisoned, and he was disembowelled and his intestines sent to Memphis, Tenn. for examination. The result was that no poison was found and this theory was exploded. He was also Grand Master of Exchequer of the Grand Lodge of Mississippi, Knights of Pythias. A Real Estate Sensation Something of a sensation was created in the Clay Street section the other day, when it became known that the Mechanics' Savings Bank, a financial institution run by prominent and well-to-do Negroes, had dived into the real estate market and made some tony investments. The bank, which seems to have money to burn, went quietly into the market, and in a most unassuming way bought certain property that was on the market. Sald property consisted of three dwellings, Nos. 101, 101 1-2 and 103 East Clay Street, for which the bank paid $12,000 cash and made the purchase purely as an investment. The houses are occupied by white tenants and when these tenants learned that they had a new landlord and it was "off color"—well, there is where the sensation came in. The other part can be imagined. It is not necessary to write it. The President of the bank, who is a pretty shrewd business man and a good financier, does not see anything sensational in the matter. The bank has been in the habit of making such investments when it had the surplus funds and saw a good thing, and as a matter of fact, it owns twenty-five or thirty residences in that section of the city, nearly every one of which is occupied by white tenants, one of them by a prominent city official who pays $50 per month rent. But all the same the occupants of the three numbers above named feel a little "sensational," and it may be that the real estate agency which engineered the deals, if indeed they were engineered by an agency, may expect to hear something "drap."—Richmond, Va.

"I have a great deal to say to you, sir," Emerson began, "and I would like you to hear me through." "Go ahead." "I am going to tell you some things about Mr. Marsh that I dare say you will disbelieve, but I can verify my statements. I think you are a just man, and I don't believe you know or would approve the methods he has used against me." "If this is to be an arraignment of Mr. Marsh I suggest that you wait until he can be present. He has gone ashore with the women folks." "I prefer to talk to you that. We can call him in later if you wish." "Before we begin may I inquire what you expect of me!" "I expect relief." "You remember our agreement!" "I don't want assistance; I want relief." "Whatever the distinction in the words, I understand that you are asking a favor." "I don't consider it so." "Very well. Proceed." "When you sent me out three years ago to make a fortune for Mildred it was understood that there should be fair play on both sides." "Have you played fair? quickly interposed the old man." "I have. When I came to Chicago I had no idea that you were interested in the Pacific const fisheries. I had raised the money before I discovered that you even knew. Willis Marsh. Then it was too late to retreat. When I reached Seattle all sorts of unexpected obstacles came up. I lost the ship I had chartered; machinery houses refused deliveries; shipments went astray; my bank finally refused its loan; and every other bank in the northwest followed suit. I was harassed in every possible way. And it wont chance that caused it; it was Willis Marsh. He set spies upon me; he incited a dock strike that required in a riot and the death of at least one man; moreover, he tried to have me killed." "How do you know he did that?" "I have no legal proof, but I know it just the same." Mr Wayland smiled. "That is not a very intimate change. You surely don't hold him responsible for the death of that striker?" "I do; and for the action of the police in trying to fix the crime upon me. You know, perhaps, how I got away from Seattle. When Marsh arrived at Kalivk he first tried to sink my boilers; falling in that, he ruined my iron Chinks; than he 'corked' my fish trap, not because he needed more fish, but pugely to spoil my catch. The day the run started, he bribed my father men to break. His contracts; leaving me short handed. He didn't need more men; but did that simply to cripple me. I got thirsty to replace the white meat but to wash them away by a microwave hickie by threats that I have no doubt he would make good if the poor 'derived'站 to stand out: played the grim squirtely, Mr. Way, land, but unless this ceases I'm through. "You are through?" "The town is nearly a week old, and I have never found to pitch my swimming. I have had little fall in boat crew, and for those last fall had no." The shroud of the right arm stirred for the last time since about bad, be- gin his regal. The grim dug about his mouth, set them free, door, and stalking with cold gray eyes at the speaker, he said. "Well, air, what you have told me emgrarm my sinestreet that. Winnie March is the right man in the right place." Completely taken back by this un- expectedly, bold attentional. "You don't need to fear that you ap- exceeded properly, then explained: "for you did not mean that, that you approve of what he does badly, nor of what he know, do the things he did for him the publicity, do the publicity laid down by the head of directors, you have shown you he does dome well, will, you know, before you let me say that we intended to crush all apprehension." HARPER & BROTHERS not among the other stations to the south? "That is our business. Different methods are required in different localities." "Then you have no criticism to make—you uphold him?" Boyd's indignation was getting beyond control. "None whatever. Your complaints do not appeal to me. Even granting your absurd assumption that Marsh tried to put you out of the way, it seems to me that you have more than evened the score." "How?" "He is still wearing bandages over that knife thrust you gave him." Emerson leaped to his feet. "He knows I didn't do that—everybody knows it!" be cried. "He lied to you." "We won't discuss that," said Wayne Wayland curly. "What do you want me to do?" "I want you to end this persecution. I want you to call him off." "In other words, you want me to save you." Emerson swallowed. "I suppose it amounts to that. I want to be let alone. I want a signure deal." "Well, I won't." Wayland's voice hardened suddenly; his sound, white teeth snapped together. "You are getting exactly what you deserve. You betrayed me by saying upon me while you broke bread in my house. I see nothing reprehensible in Mr. Marah's conduct, but even if I did I would not be humilious. Any measures are justifiable against a traitor." Boyd Emerson's face went gray beneath its coating of oil. His voice threatened to break an ear: "I am no traitor, and you know it. I am a traitor of honour, and I came to you not for help, but for justice. But I see you was mistaken. I am beginning to believe that Marah acted under your instructions from the first." "Belleve what you choose." "You think you've got me, but you haven't. I'll beat you ret." "You can't bent me at anything." Mr. Wayland's jaws were set like iron. "Not this year perhaps, but next. You and Marsh have whipped me this time, but the salmon will come again, and I'll run my plant in spite of hell!" Wayne Wayland made as if to speak, but Boyd went on unheeding "You've taken a dislike to me, but your conduct shows that you fear me. You are afraid I will succeed, and I will." "Brave talk!" said the older man. "But you owe $100,000, and your stockholders will learn of your mis management." "Your persecution, you mean!" cried the other. "I can explain. They will not another year. I will raise more money, and they will stand by me." "Perhaps I know more about that than you do." "Missed strode toward the desk meetingly, crying in a quivering roar." "Warn you to keep your hands off them. Don't try any of your financial trickery with me, or I will." "Wayne Wayland leaped from his chair, his face purple and his eyes flashing savagely." "Leave this yacht!" he thundered. "Won't allow you to insult me. I won't allow your threats. I've got you where I want you, and when the time comes you'll know it. Now, get out!" He stretched Youth a great gobble hard and cried it so fiercely that the fingers cracked. "I'll crush you like that." Boyd turned and strode from the crib. His blinded with anger, he stumbled down the ladder to his laughter. "Back to the plant!" he ordered, tigh gazed with lowering brows and defiant eyes at the Grande Dame as she rested swanlike, and accented at her moorings. His anger against Mildred's father, destroyed for the time, all thought of his disappointment, at her own lack of understanding and her cool acceptance of his affair. His affair had reached a final climax where he must bow to the inevitable or -Big Georgia-parting words came to him-strike one last blow in refusal. It will "tithe" body of "his dickster" despair, the real crisis in his life. There are times when it "tithe" with fate to do what a Wrobbin man stronger or tertier will "dilogethet" to evil. So much may will not accept misfortune tamily. It will not accept through weakness. It will nature to sin strongly. "WE'VE WON, MY BOT! WE'VE WON!" he cried, breathlessly. "From the tran" George smiled as he did not smiled in that week. "They're struck in like I knew they would, and they're running now by the thousands. I've fished these waters for years, but I never seen the likes of it. They'll tear that trap to pieces. They're smothering in the pot, tons and tons of 'em, with millions more milking below the leads because they can't get in. It's a sight you'll not see once in a lifetime." "That means that we can run the plank—that we'll get all we can use." "Say, we've got fish caught, to run two canneries. They've struck that gait. I tell you, and they'll never stop now, night or day, till they're through. We don't need no gill netters. What we need is butchers and silvers and handlers. There never was a trap site in the north till this one. I told Willis Marsh that years ago. He gung out on a long, hairy arm, bared half to the shoulder, and waved it excitantly. We built this plant to cook 40,000 salmon a day, but I'll bring you 8,000 every hour, and you've got to cook 'em. Do you hear?" "And they couldn't cook us after all! Emerson leaned unsteadily against a pile, for his head was whirling. 'No! We'll show that again what a cannery can do. Marsh's traps will not where they stand.' Big George shook his tight clinched last bed. 'We've won, my boy! We've won!' "Then don't let us stand here talking.' cried Emerson sharply. 'Hurry! Hurry!' He turned and sped up the dock. He had come into his own at last, and he vowed with tight shut teeth that no wheel should stop, no bolt should slacken, no man should leave his duty, till the ram had sped. At the entrance to the throbbing, clanging building he paused an instant and with a smile looked toward the youth coating lazily in the distance. Then, with knees banging beneath him from weakness, he entered. CHAPTER SIX. "I've heard the news!" cried Cherry later that afternoon, shrrieking to make herself heard above the rattle and jar of the machinery. "There seems to be a Providence that watches over fishermen," said Boyd. "I am happy, for your sake, and I want to apologize for my display of temper. Come away where I won't have to scream so. I want to talk to you." "It is music to my ears," he said, swirled and he led her past the rows of Chinamen bowed before their solidering torment as if unlucky with some heathen rite. "But I can't talk to them down the same. I've been on my feet for thirty six hours." "It's too much for one man," she declared. "Oh I'll sleep tomorrow." "Did you see—horz?" questioned Cherry. "Yes!" "Bbb must be very proud of you," she said wistfully. "I—I don't think she understands what I am trying to do or what I mean. Our talk was not very satisfactory." "She's pretty much have understood what Martha is doing." "I don't know her that." "What nbt." "What good would it have done?" "What good would it have done?" Why? Cherry seemed bewildered when she could put a stop to its sharpness, the tension with which she rather against Madam I exerted to see world old, show made in work again. OK, I wish I had her power. Now I am wielding it like a knife that can make any elephant feel ill. Would I seek to bit her infinitely? I should ask her. Boyd found them. Scandalably, "Thanks to George's trap, there is no need." He went on to tell Cherry of the scene with Mr. Wayland and its storm ending. "How have good all, all their resources to do now, so also all their hopes to do now, and you must ask me, how have you supported now in the time that you present them to the ones. On and with new messages all alike you do." He was grateful for their sympathy, yet somehow it made him uncomfortable with what you wanted to do the time all you wanted to do. "Oh, how have you seen Chakra with you now? I am so sorry as I did the time that you missed soon after the yeartime came in." "I had her anywhere. She took the baby with her, and I was worried." "Don't constantine know where she is?" I asked. "And I will." ' Cherry's have been pressed out-entertainly, but Miss Wayland checked her. ' "Pardon me," she said. / "Will you tell the what that odd looking building is in for?" She pointed to the wrought-iron church. "That is the Greek church." "How interesting! Are there many Greeks here?" "No. It is a relic of the Russian days. The natives worship there." "Do you live, live, here?" "Yes. In the far house youonder." "Indeed! I arrived to find some one there, but you were, out, of course. You have it, arranged very coyly, I see. Millard's manner was faintly patrophying. She was raised at the beauty and grace, reenactment of this woman whom she had thought to find so different." "If you will go to school, I will show it to you from the inside. Miss Wayland" "Sorry, enjoyed her start at the name and the look of cold hostility that followed." "You have the advantage of me," said Millard. "I did not think we had met. You are—" She raised her brows in inquiringly. "Cherry Malotte, of course." "I remember. Mr. Marsh spoke of you." "I am sorry." "I beg your pardon?" "I say I am sorry. Mr. Marsh ever spoke of me." Mistlethorn is frightly. "Evidently you do not like him." "Nobody in Alaska likes him. Do you?" "You see, I am not an Alaskan.". "Do you know that Mr. Marah is to blame for all of Boyd's misfortunes?" "Boyd's?" "Yes, Boyd's, of course. Oh, let us not protest! I call him by his first name. I think you ought to know the truth about this business, even if Boyd is too chivalrous to tell you.". "If Mr. Emberon blames any one but him for his failure I am sure he would find it odd." "Then you don't know him." "Talibah knew him to ask another to detain with him." "Do never ask me to defend him. I unclely thought that if you knew the truth you might help him." "I'll know." "It is for you to find a way. He has met with opposition and treachery at every step. I think it is time some one camp to his aid." "He has had your assistance at all times, has no help." "I have tried to help whatever I could, but I haven't your power." Midnight struggled her abdomen. You've went to Seattle to help him, did you not? "I won't think of my own business." Why do you want to take such a journey to Mr. Emerson's office anyway I did? "I I have induced him to take up this business," she chirred impatiently. "I could admit the wrongness, please give up. I should to your heart into him. I have something at stake in my entanglement too-both nothing, I have to do so a good man drive to the wall by a secondral like Martha." "Walt! There is something to be said of both sides, Mr. Marsh was magnanimous enough to overlook that attempt upon the like." "What allude?" "You must hate, heard. He was wounded in the shoulder." "Didn't Boyd tell you the truth about that?" "He told me everything," said Mr. died coldly. "This woman's attitude was grimnable. It would seem that She was the only one you have to know. She lived in Milwaukee, found her head. "To be frank with you, I have liked this extravagant city of Burlington. Now that I have seen the places and the people—well, I can't say that I like it better." The country is a big different, but the people are much the same in Haltwhidbury in Chicago. You will and unseaselah women everywhere. Milded graves, her cool glance that took her in to mind need to foot. And vice versa, I dare say. Now speaks from a wider view than it. With a curious eye, and she pixied her way toward her lunch, where her friends, were already assembling. She was angry and suspicious. Her drinks was hot, beers were not been able to feel superior to the other women. Instead, she had deserved while Cherry had been simple and direct. She had expected to recognize instantly the type of person with whom she had to deal, but she found herself befilled. Who was this woman? What was she doing here? Why had Boyd never told her of this extraordinary intimacy? Boyd must either give up Cherry or— During the talk between the two young women Constantine had kept at a respectful distance, but when Mildred had gone he came up to Chery with the question: "Who is that?" "That is Miss Wayland. That is the richest girl in the world, Constantine." "Humph!" "And the pity of it is she does barely understand how very rich she is. Her father owns all these cannies and many more besides lots of railroads. But you don't know what a railroad is, do you?" "Mebbe him rich as Mr. Marsh, eh?" "A thousand time richer. Mr. Marsh works for him the way you work for me." "She more han'somer than you be, he added with reluctant cander. Mebbe that's 'lout Mr. Marsh, eh' White men all work for Mr. Marsh. He no work for nobody." "No; it is true. Mr. Marsh knows how rich she is, and that is why he wants to marry her." The breed wheeled swiftly, his soft soles crunching the gravel. "Mr. Marsh want marry her!" he repeated, as if doubting his ears. "Yes." That is why he has fought Mr. Emerson: They both want to marry her. That is why Marsh broke Mr. Emerson's machinery and hired his men away from him and cut his nets. They hate each other. Do you understand? "Me savvy?" said Constantine shortly, then strode on beside the girl. "Me think all the time Mr. Emerson goin' marry you." Cherry gasped. "No, not! Why, he in love, with Miss Wayland." "Spoise, he don't marry her?" "Then Mr. Marsh will get her, I dare say!" After a moment. Constantine announced with conviction. "I guess Mr. Marsh is laidman." "I insulted your have distressed that He have insulted tried to kill Mr. Emerson. That whipped the sort of man he is." "I'd hate to think that," laughed the girl. "That's true." the other affirmed stoutly: "The piffes he day sold and pries' don' lie. He say man takes a woman and don' get marry the both go to tell and burn forever." Hincely little baby come, and he go to hell too. "Oh, I underland." The mother wants to make a big of his people and he is quite right. You natives haven't observed the lady very carefully. 'by goosh' That's tough on little baby' exclaimed Constantine frervently. CHAPTER XX. GAD. The girl gave him an indifferent glance from two fearless eyes and nodded slightly. "If you don't think, I'll rest a minute." I'm out for my morning walk! I a bice day, isn't it?" As she did not answer she rub on gibby. My name is DeBouryle. I'm one of the New Orleans branch. He's my new down yonder. He's looking in direction from which he had just come. "I thought that was Mr. Emerson's canner," she said. "Oh the hell is! He only runs! for me. I put up the money. You know bim! oh!" "The girl nodded. "Yes. I know Mr. Clyde also." "Who's Alton?" he queried with resistor warmth. "Why, you and I have got mutual friends. Alton and me are pale." He bobbed the head solemnly. "Ahh he's a scourge?" "I beg your pardon." "I say, isn't he an awful thing? He isn't anything like Emerson. There's a ring tailed swallow all right, all right! I like him." "Are you very intimate with him?" "Are you clear to him than a porous placer. When Boyd isn't around I'm him, that's all. Is that your yacht?" "No. My father and I are merely passengers." passengers" "So you trailed the old skroonka afloat with you? Well, it's right. Make the most of your rather while you've got him. If I'd paid more attention to mine I'd have been better off now. But I wear wild! Fraser winked in a manneur to show him his tatter that all worldly wisdom was his "I wanted to be a jocky, and the old parry cut me off. What I've got now I made all by myself, but if I'd stayed in Bloomington I might have been president of the bank by this time." "Bloomington: I understood you to say New Orleans." "My old man had a whole string of banks." Fraser averred hastily. "Tell me—Is Mr. Emerson ill?" asked the girl. "I'll enough to lick a den of wildcats!" "He intended coming out to the yacht last night, but he disappointed us." "He's as busy as an ant hill. I met him turning in just as I came out for my constitutional." "Where had he been all night?" Her voice befrayed an interest that Fraser was quick to detect. He answered rancily: "You can search me! I don't keep tases on him. As long as he does his work I don't care where he goes at quitting time." He resolved that this girl should learn nothing from him. "There seem to be very few white women in this place," she said after a pause. "Mr. Emerson told me about her she seems quite fond of her." "I've always said they make a swell looking-pair." "One can hardly blame her for trying to catch him. He can make book that she didn't start to lovemaking. She also the hand to教她 man's ear and whisper. She don't have to. All she needs to do is look unbribbled. The men will tell like they're virgin babies." "They have been together a great deal. I suppose." "every hour of the day, and the days abstinence," said Karen cheerfully. "Hill he all, crippled. He could have really, away if he had wanted to. It is a good thing he didn't. though, because she's done more to win this bet for us than we're done ourselves." "She's unusually pretty," the girl remarked coldly. "Yes, and she's just as bright as an apple is good-looking. But I don't care for blonds." Prater gazed at admiring it as the brown hair became him and rolled his hair so aboqhhthth. "The creature frm bhphettes, I am. It's the creature blood in me." She gathered up her wild flowers and rose, asking, "must be going." "I'll go with you," he jumped to his hip with alasity. "Thank you, I prefer to walk alone." Declared with shears he murmured, "I need earmuffs and admittance to the hedge here. I think I build some bounce and thaw out. She must own the mint."

"Haven't you insisted he should?" "Just a comment before you order me, I'm a stockholder in this company, and I am within my rights." "You a stockholder! How much stock do you own? Where did you get it?" Iowa 35,000 shared outright, Mr. Wayland, tossed a packet of certificates upon the table. And I have options on all the stock you placed in Chicago. Island you would hear from me when the time came. "Do you think the time has come to crush me, ab?" said Emerson. "Well, you've been swindled. Only one third of the capital stock has been sold, and Alton Clyde holds 25,000 shares of that." The old man smiled grimly. "I have not been swindled." "Then Clyde sold out!" exploded Boyd. "Yes. I paid him back the $10,000 he put in, and I took over the 25,000 shares you got Mildred to take." "Mildred! Emerson started as if he had been struck. "Are you insane? Mildred doesn't own. — Why. Alton never told me who put up that money." "Don't tell me you didn't know crief! Wayne Wayland." "You know all the time. You worked your friends out and then sent that whipper snapper to daughter when you saw you were about to fall. You managed well. You knew she couldn't refuse." "How did you find out that she held the door?" "She told me, of course." "Don't ask me to believe, that if she hadn't told you before she worked tell you now. All I can say is that she activated her own fire will. I never breathed her up until $25,000. What do you intend to do now that you have taken over these holdings?" "What do you think? I would spend ten times the money to save my daughter. The old man was quivering." "You are only a minority stockholder. The control of this enterprise still rests with me and my friends." "Your friends," cried Mr. Wayland. "That's what brings me here. You and your friends." I'll break you and your friends if it takes my Fortune. "I can understand your dislike of me, but my associates have never harmed you." "Your associates! And who are they? A laueless ruffian who openly threatened Willis McKee's murder; and a loose, wohan from the dance balla." "Take care!" cried Emerson in a sharp voice. The old man waved his hands as if at a loss for words. "Look here! You can't be an utter idiot. You must know who she is." "Do you? That tell me." Wayne Warland turned his back in disguise. "Do you really wish to know?" Marah's smooth voice questioned. "I do." "She is a very common sort of sald Willis Marah. "I am surprised that you have heard of her while you were in the upper country. She followed the mining combs and lived an albeit woman do. She is an expert with cards. She even dealt far in some of the camper." "How do you know?" "I looked up her history in Seattle. She is very—well notorious." "People talk like that about nearly every woman in Afghanistan." "I didn't come here to argue about that woman's character," broke in Mr. Wayland. "You have said, enough now, so that you will either prove your words or apologize." from any one but her, I shall come aboard the dame Dame, tonight," she marsh, and I may have something to say to that." Boyd wheeled upon Marsh with a look that made him recoil. "If you try to cross me I will strip your back and lash you till you bowl like a dog." Marsh's world face went pale. His tongue became suddenly too dry for tongue. JEWELS Cheyenne Mallette, coming down to the canyon on our daily walk, saw Willis Marsh and Mr. Wayland Levin, wondering she hurried into the main building in section of wood. The place was as busy as when she had left it on the afternoon before, and she saw that the man had been at work all night. Many of them were shrewed in pearls, where they had sung from grapes, gaiting, singing, and they had been there the whole time. The Chinese bands were actually performing their tasks, their welcomes, chanted, with their struts. At the butchering tables yesterday's cew were still allitting, shaking at the pile of fish that never seemed to grow, some of their pearls and grapes, savoring away to their bunks, while others with more grapes had stood so long in the alley, and drip that their feet had swelled, and if it had been necessary to turn their cew was standing in the door of the church. And now words to tiden back, Mr. Wayland Levin. 'you do shin' shin' shin' the company 'you the lighthouse' additionally 'I haven't' 'I haven't' 'do' 'do' 'do' he can work very well because him 'it least' "Tell me, why did he turn against you so suddenly? What had I made Wheyland Harry with you?" "I-I would rather not." "Why does your partner, and I ought to be told. You and George and Dell thase to work together so hard, but I don't know by asking everything." "Well, perhaps you had better know the whole thing," said Boyd slowly. "Mildred does not like you. Has he minds, mind has been polished by Mashin, all seems they rebel and our friendship. They believe all sorts of things." "So I am the cause of your trouble "They blame me equally—more than you. I know I will be the one who quarrels with you. I will be the one who beheaded to them. I know I will be the one who it not knowing you as I do, and they misunderstood our friendship. But I can explain, and I shall, to Mr.ried. Then I shall, give Mr.ried a临. Perhaps I can show Mr.Warland and the halves in the truth. It's our only hope." What did she marsh say about me? asked the girl. She was pale to the lips. "He said a lot of things that at any other time I would have pages, pages, pages swallow on the floor. With gritty teeth in their presence I don't like to tell you this, but the truth is vital to us all and I question them thoroughly." She was bald. There was great dimay in the palace, when it was discovered that the king's most private secrets were known to the enemy. Priest Omar and for a long while no one could discover who had betrayed him, who the doobers were, what he had done to the king, who he deceived him, and only his most trusted courtesans and his daughter were ever present. He could not bear, be out of his sight, and while he talked, he would pleas, as his knel like a white mouse and make not the allighest sound. You can guess his surprise and grief when he found, that it was ash, and she alone, who had betrayed his actions. I only told them to the blinds, she sobbed, looking so sweet, and then they would walk all over her. Her fair godmother, however, who had been summoned, in a great hurry brought the matter too personal to be overlocked and left the palace, with a dreadful frown. When the *nicness* woke the next morning she was a little furry, brown rabbit, with a little snow, white tail and velvet ears, instead of a dainty rabbit with all glitter, hanging, she had gold shrimp, a sandy bank, a shovel she strangled at first, she soon grew to her new surroundings, and gave quite happily on the grey grass, early morning when the sun was shining, she soops of the plants around her.

Softskin was so taken with the tiny pink things in their neat down which the gray dose had plucked from her own white breast to keep them warm that she could not resist waking them when she left the warmth. Softskin Father Rabbit had carefully learned her not to do so. Ah, ah, ah! cried a badger who made home in the heart of the good, when he woke that night and heard from a mischievous little brecce what Softskin had seen saying. He bob blim blim away to the rabbit warren, and soon the gray doe was awakened from her peaceful slumber by the scratch, scratch, scratch of his cruel claws just above her head. She had built her brood chamber only a few feet below the surface of the ground, and she knew well that before long her children were grown and deformed. The news soon spread through the warren, and the little princess was agast at what she had done. "I'll never, never talk too much again." she cried to the night. wind. "if only you'll frighten the badger away." And the night wind hung heavens to the fairy godmother; who扑倒 into the gameterate head to head to a stall in the direction of the common. The gameter heard his footstep and the head heard his cry. From this forward you saw to dissect that one could, and did with her, and before very long all, was allowed to be a unicorn again and was once more trumped, so all, and the king in the royal council obsembled.

First an application of vinegar and then most thorough shampooing and massaging. are the agents most beneficial for restoring color and texture to hair that has been injured, to salt water. Unfortunately, the great benefit is not, unlike that given when oil is being made, to restore color and texture. The condition is similar. Natural oils of the scalp have been dried, and it is many weeks before they are brought back to normal. When salt water is the cause of injury, it becomes necessary before doing anything else to remove, all the stickiness which seven water makes. Its effect upon the hair is very peculiar, being almost "messy," so gummy, at the books become, and, whilst it may be repaired, it cannot be washed. It diffuses, so cannot be washed. It only makes a bad mark on hair; so they must be repaired rubbing in sooth warm water, changing it frequently, so that the salt may not be worked off the hair. Hair which is clean has a creamy feel, between the indigo when wet, and the hair should be made when trying to remove all salt. The touch to the ingrown is not "chinkin" of theilk. Abd which is pronounced it is hard (to the indigo) to be made both by exposure to sun and by rubbing with water, and indeed when the scalp is treated for treatment. Particularly well suited, to the condition is a cream made from one and a半只饼子 of white waxless parchment quarter of an ounce of cold drawn castor oil, seven-quarters, or a dram of gallic acid and infused oil of lavender oil. This in many cases is divided the the oil, rubbing the application in the left bare. The sugar, tip and really best for putting it on. Divisions should be made close to together, rubbing well until the whole scalp has been annotated, after which ten or fifteen minute's massage is to be given. This treatment should be bad every night, and if the grease is put on carefully it will not show through the hair. If an oily look begins to appear the ointment may be omitted for a night, but massage and good-brushing daily are to be kept up. It is so much easier to prevent injury from salt water than to remove it. That effort should be made in the former direction: Treatment for bleach-docks is the same, save that quantities of oil must be used daily if any benefits are to be derived. CANNING SEASON HINTS. Hew the Vegetables and Cane Bheuld Be Prepared. Absolute addition greenness and the best materials procambare are the first essentials for success in chaining. The vegetables should be, as fresh from the garden as possible. They are better picked in the early morning with the dawn still on them. As a general rule, young vegetables are superior in flavor and texture to the more mature ones. Corn and beans should be canned as soon as possible after gathering, as freshness and texture are important. If any reason the canning of apache or other greens, string beans, asparagus or okra cannot be attached to it once, put in cold water of a cold damp place until ready to attend to them. All root vegetables and greens must be thoroughly washed. Have the kitchen well wet and clean before beginning canning and the towels and aprons of the workers beyond suspicion.

SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 5, 1910. Colored folks have a hard row to hoe, but thousands of them are housing it. . It is better to be happy than to be sad, to be hopeful than to be down-hearted. Honesty is the best policy, despite the fact that hundreds of people believe otherwise. --- There is no use grieving over "spilt milk." The heat thing to do is to see that we do not spill any more milk. --- It is a difficult thing for colored folks to have confidence in each other when some of the colored folks violate that confidence. --- Colored political leaders are get ting recognition before the election. We do not know how much they will got after the election. --- The failure of the True Reformers has shocked the Negro business world but as only about twenty per cent of the colored folks are engaged in business, the confidence will soon be rooted. The best way for the Order of True Reformers to get help is to deserve help and the best way to deserve help is to pledge itself to pay all of its debts, including the amounts due the depositors of the True Reformers' Savings Bank. A white enterprise may fall a dozen times and only the white enterprise is blamed or held responsible. A colored enterprise may fail one time and every other colored enterprise, is regarded with suspicion, strange people these, and a strange world in which we live. Snowstorm Caused Post and Hawley to Oscend. Sky Sailors Suffered Greatly During the Four Days They Sought Civilization in Wilds of Canada. Hawley and Post, of the balloon America II, which left St. Louis on Oct. 17 in the international balloon race and landed in the wilds of Canada, reached Quebec, having taken seven hours in traveling the 227 miles from Cheloult by the Lake St John railway. They traveled 1356 miles in forty-six hours and established a new record for ballooning. Both men are in excellent health and spirits notwithstanding their strenuous experiences of the last ten days. Many interesting new details of their flight were given out by the airnauts. Their course into the wilds of northern Quebec was rather more westerly than that of the Dusseldorf, which landed near Kiskaskia, due south of Lake St. John, for the Amorcilla II in sounding north of Lake St. John left the big island sea to the immediate east, obtaining a fine view of the coast and owing to its pleasant river and the village of Peribonca, just south of Lake Tachotogama. It was on the shore of Lake Tachotogama that Hawley and Post fell in with the hunters who piloted them into the pathway of safety. "We were doing our host," said Mr. Post, "to fly to the utmost limits that the continent would allow. We know perfectly well where we were when we passed over Lake St. John on Wednesday, the 19th, and we made up our minds that if possible we wouldn't coast of Labrador. On Wednesday afternoon, however, the weather, which had been threatening all day, began to make us very apprehensive. "At 3 o'clock in the afternoon snow had already began to fall and soon our view of the earth beneath was almost entirely obscured. We judged that this meant the end of our trip, for it would have been madness to have pursued the journey in a blinding snowstorm. "Furthermore, the extreme cold had caused our gas to contract and we had begun to fall rapidly. We only had six and a half bags of ballast left, when at last very reluctantly we decided to effect a landing. We at once began to look around for a good landing place, but owing to the rapidity with which the snowstorm overtook us we had to trust pretty much to luck. "We found ourselves dropping directly into the water, which we afterwards discovered to be alga. We immediately throw out several bags of ballast and rose slowly and heavily in the snowstorm. Madly we throw out more butast for the lack of ready response by the balloon had alarmed us and made us think for a moment that we should possibly perish in the lake a minute ending to such a splendid journey. "But on a forlorn gust of wind the balloon whirled glisten carrying us in a few seconds beyond the lake. Then we at once let out the gas and came down safely on the side of a huge hill. It is unlikely that the balloon will be recovered. "We really suffered greatly from the cold as we tramped slowly away from the America II. We were seriously hampered by the goods we had to park, for it was absolutely necessary to take along the heaviest clothing, besides the remaining food. Frequent meals through streams of ice cold water. She was the weather that at times our clothing was frozen to our bodies. When we accross the trappers the fourth day we could have cried for joy. We were about all in." --- Ralph Johnstone flying in a baby Wright for the first time, broke the world's record for altitude at the inter national aviation meet at Bolmont Park, near New York. He went up 9714 feet. The Wrights were wildly excited when they greeted Johnstone after he had reached his hangar Hoxkoy was also present to extend his congratulations. The previous record for altitude of 9186 feet was made at Mourmelon, France, Oct. 1, by Henry Wyman, a Hollander. Droxel came down half an hour after Johnstone. His barograph registered 9186 feet. John II. Mollant, the daring Chicago aviator,飞到 the lotin in which he captured the Status of Liberty prize, the Aero Club of America's distance course of $2000 in two hours he made the course of fifty six times, a total distance of about eighty seven and a half miles. Molstant made a sonational landing in front of the grand stand, smashing his propeller and breaking one wheel of his monoplane He climbed out of the machine uninfused, however, Latham was second in the race, with 38 laps, and Siflon third, with 27 laps to his credit. Graham-White, flying in his sixty-three power Bierist in the speed race against overturned in front of the grand stand and was burted under the machine. Helpers lifted the machine off him and he walked out, imping slightly, waving his hand to the crowd to let them know he was not seriously injured. His machine was damaged. Although his machine turned turtle, Graham-White won, the speed race, his time being 43.44.12. McCurdy was second, with the time of 26.43.04. Subscribe to THE PHANTHA. BROOKLYN, N.Y.

Further agreements among manufacturers enforced ironware as to the selling conditions of their wares were brought out in the government's investigation of the so-called "bath tub trust" at Pittsburgh, Pa. Edwin L. Weyman who told of his numerous agreements with manufacturers and jobbers, continued the narrative of his activity in getting the various branches of the industry to work together. Weyman told of a "blue book" which contained the names of plumbing supply jobbers eligible to make contracts with the sixteen manufacturers; who are defendants in this action, and also identified a copy of the price list used by the jobber. He said that he had made 85 per cent of the changes that appeared in the list, since June 1 1910. These prices were what the jobbers were to quote their customers. Weyman also told of a meeting at a New York hotel March 29 and 30 of this year, at which he declared 91 percent of the enameled ironware production was represented, and voted favorably on the agreement between the furniture manufacturers to Attorney General, social assistant to Attorney General Wikraman, brought from Weyman that the country had been divided into eleven territorial zones, which embraced the principal cities of the United States, for the sale of its product. It was also developed by the witness that the corporation had contracts with jobsbars in every state except Arizona. The book he told about was known as the "Blue Book" of the National Committee of the Confederated Supply Association, of 28 Broadway, New York. It was, yelle other firms not in the book, that 48 Weyman testified that 46 other jobbars had not executed the jobbars' license agreement. Weyman proved an unwilling witness at times, but it was finally brought out that if jobbers purchased ware of manufacturers not in the combine, either the manufacturers or Weyman might cancel the contract. The witness also admitted that neither the prices, discounts nor differentials can be changed without the consent of the price and schedule commission. Weyman stated that on March 28, 1910, it was understood—that when he obtained the signature of 85 percent of the production to the Chicago agreement it was to become binding and effective. STEEL TRADE MUCH BETTER Gary. Declares Railroads Soon Will Be in the Market for Rails. Former Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation, stated in New York city that there had been sufficient improvement in the steel trade in the last several weeks to warrant the statement that the foundation had been laid for continued bettlement. "Sentiment has improved and confidence in the future has been strengthened," said Judge Gary, "Present indications are that railroads will begin to buy rails and equipment in the near future."

NOT A DICTATOR Colonel Says "He Has No Power Except From People. "You don't have to be afraid of a dictator who has no power except as the people behold him give it to him. I haven't one bit of power except as you and people like you give," shouted Colonel Roosevelt to a crowd that filled the opera house at Lockport, N. X. The colonel had been saying that some of his opponents thought he wanted to be a dictator of the United States. During his speech at the opera house he said: "Tammany made the appeal that if you put on power it won't behave as it has in India, while we make the appeal that if you put us into power we will behone exactly as we have in the past." Comparing the records of Dix and Stilman, the colonel said, "Mr. Dix hasn't got much record and he's busily engaged in establishing an alibi for most of that."

We soon settled down in our seat, for the first time during our trip to spend the night in a sitting posture in the "John Crow" coach of the Sunset Limited. We had come one thousand and forty-six miles to New Orleans and we had eleven hundred and ninety-two miles more to go in order to cross Texas. We were travelling up-grade too for we were now four thousand and forty-three feet above sea level or to use figurative language. If you were to take a pole over four thousand feet long and stand it and most in the city of New Orleans the top most point would show you how high that oil-burning locomotive with its human freight had climbed. We had set our watch back one hour at New Orleans for Central Time. We had to set it back one hour more for Mountain Time. We had fits of sleeping and awakening and when the first streaks of dawn appeared, we strained our eyes to see the sun with a hope that we are long be in El Paso where a much needed rest might be obtained and where the end of our long trip through Texas might be recorded. AN EARLY LUNCHEON. Morning came and with it a view of the country through which we were now travelling. We were near ing the boundary line of Texas. We passed through villages. There was no sign of breakfast and so we proceeded to regale ourselves with the box of luncheon prepared for us by Mrs. S. J. Sutton, who had anticlaped our needs upon this long journey through the prairie lands of a large state. It was 7:30 o'clock on Saturday morning, October 1st, 1910 when we reached El Paso. Before arriving at the station, we saw the "doble houses," as the Mexican huts are called. ON THE BORDER. Reaching the dept, we made some enquiries as to the leaving of trains. We explored the contents of our suitcase and finally decided to be "fobt loose and fancy free," so we placed this burden in the check room and with a light heart proceeded to go up to the main streets of the city. The sun was shining brightly and our shoes gave us the appearance of a farmer, despite our banker's attire. "Siblo, Mister?" said two boys with a foreign accent. 2WO MEXICAN BOYS BUSY We gave one of them the job, but we had no sooner sat down and put one foot on his box before the other boy took up the other foot and put it on his box. They were talking to each other in the Mexican jungle, laughing and as happy as could he. We had been captured by two Mexicans. We have never seen a better shoe polish on a pair of gatters. When the job was completed, there were two smiling urohins looking at us. We paid the one whom we had employed five cents and we paid the other one, whom we had not employed five cents, and we foil no worse from the experience. A COLORED MERCHANT. We had been directed to see Mr. C. C. Shelton, the leading colored merchant in that section. He is proprietor of a hardware store. He was not in at the time but his clerk or salesman, who seemed to be a Japanese, although he may have been a Mexican told us in the most awe and entertaining manner that he was not in then, but would be there in a short time. He invited us to remain but we had other calls to make. MR. ORANE'S BARBER SHOP. We called on Mr. Sam Crane, a well known barber. He has a large white trade, and it being Saturday, he was busily engaged with his customers. We did not terry as we understood the situation but proceeded to take, in El Paso on "our own hook." We looked in the store windows, visited the court-house building and saw the Mexican vendors in the street market, in that neighborhood. It was an interesting sight to us. He then told us the story. "My home has been broken up by Frank Lawson of New York City," he said as a tremor passed through his frame. "He came to El Paso, being in the United States Army here. He went with my daughter. I did not like him, for the reason that I did not bolleve that he was a proper character to go with her. But he succeeded in winning the affections of the child and married her, against my will. She was only 21 years of age. RETURNS TO HER PARENTS. After their marriage which took place July 1, 1909, they had much trouble. Their babe was born April 20, 1810. He used to heat her. One day my daughter called up her mother and asked her to come there at once. She feared Frank would kill her as he had threatened to do. My wife camp by here and finally told me about it. I told my daughter that she could back home. Her mother had always placed the chate at the table where she used to sit, and she could live at home again. HORRIBLE CRIME COMMITTED. She came and brought the baby with hojr Frank Lawson came by this站 and asked to speak with me. He wanted to see me, he said. I refused to see him. He stared in this store. I got out this revolver, as six shooter, and told him that if he possessed the threshold of that door, I would kill him. He had threatened to kill my wife and daughter. I believed now that he would have killed me. I tried to get him placed under bond to keep the peace, but the sheriff said that Frank was a good boy, and laughed at my fears. KLLLED WIFE AND MOTHER "I was down here, at the store July 25, 1910 when I heard that he had shot and killed my daughter, and had shot my wife in the back of the head. He shot my daughter in the head and in the body before any one could get to him. He would have killed my wife, but for the Postmaster, who lives near and who wont over there. He resisted him' and in fact turned the revolver on him, but it would not go off. DO NOT HANG FOR MURDER. "Frank Lawson is in fall bore now and I hear that he says that he will soon be out, that they will not do anything with him. If such a crime had been committed anywhere else, the murderer would have been lynched." "But," we asked, "wont they hang him for the murder?" "Wang him?" he asked, "Hang him in El Paso?" I have been living here for twenty old years and I never know them to hang a man in El Paso for murder. They'll hang a man for horse stolling, but not for murder. There was just one man hanged during that time for murder and he was a Mexican, and I believe he was innocent." We had listened to this astounding recital as the heart-broken husband and father, whose wife was even then slowly recovering from the effect of the terrible bullet wound in the back of the head, with his strong frame shaking with emotion told this horrible story. We came there as a guest, but who could accept the hospitality of such a bereaved host and hostess. LJEUT. FLIPPER AN AUTHORITY We were thinking deeply. He told us that Lieutenant Henry O. Flipper, formerly of the United States Army, was in El Paso, Texas the week before, that he is the best authority on the American continent on Mexican mines and the mining laws, that he is now located at Ocampo, Chihuahua Mexico and that he had returned home now. He made arrangements for us to spend the night at the residence of Mrs. J. R. Ford. We thanked him and after making enquiries as to the way to get to the international street railway, which would carry us to old Mexico, we bid him allico and started out upon an arrand of sight sooing unaccompanied by any resident of this remarkable city.

Baptist Notes (Continued From First Page.) help us; aside from paying our personal expense to and from the Convention, they gave us $250.00 for the work. This will greatly aid us in the work in our much needed heating plant. We are glad to say to the brethren that the plant is now being put in at a cost of $2300.00. We want to pay $1000.00 down when the job is finished. Let us ask the brethren throughout the country, who will send us a dollar, two dollars, five dollars or any amount right away to help us in this hour of need. Send it to W. F. G. 'aham' 613 N. 2nd St. Richmond, Vn. A receipt will be sent and the amount acknowledged through the columns of this paper. Brothren, we already have over 280 students, girls and boys, nearly one-fourth of whom are young ministers, in the school. Shall we take care of them? Shall we make them comfortable? remember that Virginia, Seminary is a Baptist School, a Christian School of high standing that sticks close to old landmarkism. Her sons and daughters who have gone forth with diplomas are making history in the world, of which we may well feel proud. Many of the abstest-pastors in Virginia and the North are graduates from this institution, and of the great number sent out to our knowledge, not one has disgraced himself. Dr. Diggs, the new President is doing excellent work. He and Dr. G. B. Howard were in attendance upon the Pennsylvania Baptist State Convention the same week we were in New York. Good news comes from that direction. The Brothren in Pennsylvania will stand by the work. "We must have one great Baptist Institution of learning owned, managed and controlled by Negro Baptists. The Trustees of this school are located not in Virginia alone, but in all the States throughout our educational territory. Who will be the next to send us something on the Heating Plant? While attending the New York Convention such men as Drs. A. Clayton Powell, Granville Hunt, W. H. Slater, President Timms, Simms, Booker, J. C. Brown, and the other Brown of Day Star Church, Wynn, W. M. Moss, W. B. Rold, T. J. King, W. W. Wisher, Boddle and many others gave us to understand that New York stands always hand and heart open to our work. Of course this made Dr. Holland Powell rejoice because he had assured us New York was all right and we found it to be true. Dr. W. B. Johnson was there saturing the brethron; Dr. Granville Hunt is one of the strongest friends Virginia Seminary has; Dr. A. C. G. Powell said we must come to his church, the doors are open; our beloved Dr. W. M. Moss, the most acceptable new pastor of the great Concord Church, says his doors are open. We have never seen a better spirit in any other Convention that we have attended in our lifetime. The Recording Secretary of the Convention impressed us as a Christian gentleman of the highest type. Dr. W. B. Reld of Newport was there. His ability, weight and power are recognized by the Convention and all the Brethron who know him. He is a credit to his Alma Mater, Virginia Seminary, and so it is with Rev. T. J. King of Yonkers, N. Y. He is the brilliant Corresponding Secretary of the Convention. Everybody loves him. The Virginia Baptist State Convention will meet next May with the 5th St. Baptist Church, Richmond, Va. We are expecting a very large delegation. We invited New York to come down in full, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and all the New England States are invited to be with us. We expect to have a record breaker. Over $10,000,000 must be raised. Virginia is coming up larger, than ever before. We expect at least 700 churches to represent from Virginia. The old Fifth St. Baptist Church assisted by the slater Churches of Richmond will take care of the Convention in first class order. All we ask is that one month prior to the Convention all persons expecting to attend will send us their names so that we may properly locate them. Our sisters representing religious bodies are also invited to come. First class accommodation will be made for them. Dr. R. H. Bowling our beloved President will at the proper time make his annual call and I am sure we are all going to answer. During the Summer months we travelled considerably over the State of Virginia, and we can say to the brethren of, a truth that Virginia is with our work. The Women's Baptist State Convention met this year in Stuinson and raised $1600.00 in cash. Our State Sunday School School met in Charlottesville and related at $1200.00 in cash. These young people under the masterlyorship of Prof. H. Lee of Newport News are doing. They gave Virginia Summary $628.00 in cash. The various associations were heard from in glowing terms. We shall say more about them in our next article. We shall also say much more about our women. Brethren, Virginia Seminary is a reality. Our plant is now valued at $75,000.00; our mortgage debt is only $5000.00. We do not regret therefore, our labors in the past for such glorious nasaos to the credit of our great Baptist family. It will be understood, that, the writer, of these words is the Chairman of the Trussle Board and Financial Secretary of the Institution. There is no salary connected with the office. With us it is the work of duty and love. "and don't you take anything for it?" her friend asked. "You look healthy enough." "Oh," she replied. "It's my husband that it is."

Federal Points For Colored Men. President Taft, it was stated in Washington, has decided to appoint a colored man to the highest office in an executive branch of the government ever held by a member of that race. William H. Lewis, at present an assistant district attorney at Boston, is to be made an assistant attorney general of the United States. The president has also determined to make Charles A. Cotterell, of Toledo, also a negro, collector of customs at Honolulu. This recognition of the colored race is expected to have political results in Ohio and Massachusetts. Lewis is a graduate of the Harvard law school, and played center rush on the Harvard eleven in the early ninies. The appointment has been agreed upon by the president and Attorney General Wickorsham. Just what duties will be assigned to the new assistant when he takes office have not been decided. The appointment of Lewis is in line with President Taft's policy of recognizing colored men in the government service, but taking these appointments as far as possible out of the southern states, where friction has been caused in the past by colored federal office holders.

A mysterious murder was discovered by gunners on the Noverink mountain, near Reading, Pa. The body of a man, with the head, arms and chest missing, was found, partly covered by leaves. The body had been completely and cleanly cut through, as by a dissecting knife just below the juncture of the arms and the trunk. Where the upper part of the body is and who this victim of foul play was constitute a mystery on which the whole efforts of the Reading police and the Borks county coronar's office are directed. The man apparently had been dead two months, and it seems probable that he was a resident of Philadelphia. Copies of Philadelphia papers of Aug. 30 were found in his clothing, and a hat lying nearby bears the trade mark of a Philadelphia store. The root of the clothing was unmarked. Gunners Pind Body. George Kemp and Edward Bingham, both residents of Reading, are the gunners who made the discovery. They were out for a day's shooting on Neverskill mountain and had wandered in quest of game near Black Bear. There, almost covered by leaves, they stumbled across the body, mutilated and badly decomposed. The gunners were quick to realize that it was a case of murder, and hurriedly got into communication with the Reading police authorities. Coroner Wagner and detectives immediately went to the scene and searched for evidence a sto the man's identity and a clue to his slayer. Their search was rewarded only by the finding of the black dorby hat about twenty foot distant from the body. They were baffled for the time being by the failure to find the arms, upper part of the trunk, and especially the head. If the head were found, they felt the identity of the man could be established, and then the motive for the murder could be uncovered. With this to work from the detectives were sanguine of their ability to solve the mystery of the tragedy. Coroner Wagnar expressed the belief after careful examination of the condition of the body, that the man had been dead fully two months, indicated by the fact that the newspapers found were dated Aug. 30. In addition to the dorby hat, part of a white shirt also was found, but it bore no mark. The rest of the man's clothing consisted of a navy blue gorc coat, with a vest to match, and gray Ironers, with a large, stripe a HILF darker in shade. An empty wallet was found in one pocket, with a keyring bearing a Tale & Towne lock key and a trunk key. A comb and a horsehoe nail completed the list of articles discovered on the body. Woman Heard Three Shots. Strengthening the theory that, the man was killed on Aug. 30 in the tale told by Mrs. J. H. MacFarland, wife of the owner of a hotel nearby. She says she heard three shots fired on the night of Aug. 30 and thinks the man may have been killed on that occasion. Mrs. MacFarland heard the shots about 11 p. m. and says she looked out of the window toward the hill to see what the trouble was. A moment later she heard an automobile start away as if it had stopped at the edge of the park. The motor dashed southward on the Philadelphia pike. She could not tell how many persons were in the automobile, as the night was too dark. Killa Wife, Son and Self. Joseph Wallace, a prominent merchant of Lawnrocoville, Ga., on Tuesday shot and killed his wife and thirteen-year-old son, fatally wounded his sixteen-year-old boy, drove two daughters away from home and turned the revolver on himself, ending his own life, at his home.

The Connecticut delegation to a Republican national convention at Chicago took along a lot of badges, each ornamented with a wooden nutmeg, says the Saturday Evening Post. The badges were very popular. The delegates from other states thought it a great gift to wear a genuine Connecticut wooden nutmeg. Presently the map who had charge of the badges came to Sonator Brandegee and said, "Sonator, we're in a fix. All our wooden nutmeg badges are gone, and there is still a great demand for them, what can we do?" "Get some more." "But there are no wooden nutmegs in Chicago. We had to have those especially made for us back home." "All right," directed Jaboilobol Brandegee; "go down to a 'poetry store' and buy 400 or 500 real nutmegs and sit them on the badges. They'll know the difference." Werda of Strength. There are three lessons I would write Three words with a burning pen. In tracing of sternal light Upon the hearts of men. Have hope!

When Sir Carnegie started in the steel business he was resolved to reduce the appalling accidents incidental to the work. And he was very successful in executing this resolve. A part of his success was due, no doubt, to the blank slips that every foreman had to fill up when one of his hands gurt hurt. A certain workman had one of his hands suffer a slight accident. His foreman was ill and bopenest, filled out promptly the slip which is now preserved at Skibo. The slip ran: *Date*-March 5, 1880. *Name*-James Miles. *Nature of accident*-Too crushed. *How caused-Odentite blow from sledge. *Remarks-These was awful. I will repete to clerk verbally.* Miataken In the Book. A New York lawyer who employs colored help in his home tells this story on himself: On one occasion his wife was suffering intensely from a nervous headache, and thinking perhaps his voice might soble her to sleep, she asked him to cool down to her, which he did as the colored maid went back and forth about the room setting things in order for the night. Presently the maid quietly withdrew to the kitchen below, where the cook Aunt Phyllis was awaiting her. Mr. Alex also is a good maid, said the maid, "He set himself up dar readen do Bills to Miss Alice. n' she sleek, "On chin, chin, answered Aunt Phyllis; Dillon, yo know Mr. Alex ain' readen no Blüte? He is a lawyer." Thirtey and Disguised On the line of the Missouri Pacific railway, just over in Oklahoma, from Colbyville, Kan., in a small place called Nowatown, a state law, in Kansas prohibits the carrying by the railroads of public drinking, eating, or training. Not long ago, a farmer, from Iowa, on a Missouri Pacific train, in Kansas near Gofferyville, wanted, a drink, of water. He would not know about the law. Going to the water cooler, he began looking for the cap. When he failed to find it, he sought the chair car portion, a degree, and asked to it.

"They don't want to be told anything, that they know it all." They three, who men who sat in "double seats with me in an" elevated train were arguing over a matter that none of them seemed to have any information on. It happened to be something that I had read a "job" article about the night before, so I spoke up and told them what I know. Now, in my country we would thank "a man who did that, but those Americans didn't thank me. They laughed in my face, that is what they did." "What is strange," said his American friend, "Americans are usually very grateful for every bit of information offered them. What did you tell them, key words: "Well, they were fussing about which city had the finest diamond in the country. One said Philadelphia, another Chicago; the other stuck out for Pittsburgh. I said; 'Pardon me, gentlemen, you are all mistaken. Utter has the finest diamond in the United States.' I read about it last night. It written I forget how many carats and sought from London by a Mrs. Peterson, about a year ago." "And then they laughed. Why, they actually tasted.

This man would not smile at the boot running jokes. What's the matter with you? cried Mark Twain. The stories are all good. Why don't you laugh?

A young woman stenographer who does a big business with the patrons of a busy hotel was talking about the faculties of her clients.

I have quite a number of those. The most interesting man I ever had was one who stopped and gave me a visiting card. His address was engraved in the lower corner. He handed me a dollar wizard the card and said, "Please write a letter for me." I said, "Certainly. To whom? "To my wife, he answered. That is my name you have on the card." I understand that. "I told him, but what shall I write about?" Oh, write about a page, he replied as he smiled and strode away. "Chicago Tribune." Rough on Irving. In the exaltation of the moment public speaking often say the opposite of what they mean to convey, and when Henry Irving gave a reading in the Ulsterian in 1787 says Bram Stoker in "Personal Remembrances of Henry Irving," one speaker made as pretty an Irish bull as could be found, though the bull is generally supposed to be a hard-bred Ulster. In despairing on the many virtues of the great of the legend he mentioned the excellence of his moral nature and rectitude of his private life in three forms: "Mr Irving's air, as a gentleman what leads a life of unbroken bliss."

CuvS briS There are any number of things for which the wheelbarrow top shown in the illustration will be useful, but particularly in collecting cut grass and dried leaves from lawns will it prove its worth. A rectangular white basket, the bottom of which is the dimensions of the bottom of a wheelbarrow, fits on the latter after the sides of the barrow have been removed. The basket can Whesibarrow Top. be fastened, if so desired, so that it will not fall off, but ordinarily this is the necessary. Such a device will hold nearly three times as much, as an ordinary wheelbarrow and will be welded by gardeners. The basket itself is light, and when filled with grass that has just been empty, dried leaves makes a load not heavily so heavy as a load of dirt, yet saves many trips that are otherwise required to remove the litter from the lawn. ARE FERTILIZERS. More Valuable to Gardener and Orchard Keeper Than Any Other Fertilizing Agency. Many plants that seem to be fertilizer are capable of wind pollenation to a certain extent—and these include most of our orchard and berry trees are. Incidentally, beneficial traits of numerous acetate seaking and pollen collecting insects, which arise from tree to tree and bush to bush often quite widely separated boards and berry fields, are many of these insects representing almost all orders, but among them not one of the perennial and continuity of the honey bee. These are also attracted insects, since the establishment of species in the neighborhood of any bearing order is more difficult than in other bee species, and there seem to have numerous bee patterns and forms as a result of blooming. Wild beech trees and burlgirdles are often disastrously affected by the weather or are driven from their bumps or breeding places by the encroachments of man and the domestic animals, but these vultures are not permitted to affect the domestic beech. Then, is naturally the most palatable of all pollinators, whose value is borne and garden has not been generally appreciated, but can be heavily be overestimated, and it follows that beekeeping should be regarded as one of the advantages of orcharding and general management. It does not necessarily imply that the fruit, or vegetable, gathered, also undertake the somewhat辛苦 duties of beekeeping, but some neighbor who has learnt and trained for the interesting pursuit should wear warm encouragement by坐坐席 and from time to time engage the animals by the generous purchase of their food and by every aid fruit and vegetable products are able to render film that will promote his business in the undertaking for which they are in an indirect way, so largely indebted to him. Freshing the Hearts How old about a beater be no fun? The question is not met with a variety of answers: some take the position that she should frighten when very young in order to start her on her life's work early; others present equally good reasons against this practice. But one question will weigh in determining the matter, and so too the matter of breed. Breeders of large dairy types put the age for freshening from two and a half to three years, while breeder of the smaller types like the Guernsey and Jersey, place the period at twenty four months as being the best freshening period for the beater. In the case of a beater having Durham breeder the tendency is to breed when she is about two years old. Killing weeds is but one object of cultivating corn. While important to kill weeds the preservation of moisture in the soil is equally so and is done by shallow and frequent cultivation. ```markdown ``` A choice stock of printing sundries and our supply rooms have an assortment that will please the most fastidious.

At the bottom of the sea the temperature remains practically unaltered at any one spot throughout the whole of the year. White horses are barred from service in the German army because they are too corrosive when smokeless powder is used. The air is clarified effectively by keeping the blades of a ventilating fan moistened with water. This collects all the impurities. Spanish telephone companies make their charges according to the occupation of the nation. Social clubs labor under the highest rate. All animals have a weather instinct. The approach of rain is indicated by the flight of swallows, by the orches of water towls, and by the actions of cows and pigs. A LITTLE WISDOM You can turp a crank down, but he always turns up. While mere human nature obtains the threshold, Godless enters in and makes a successful bluff. Half, the world doesn't know what excuse the other half has for living. The man, who draws on his imagination should not overlook to pin "no protest" to his draft. The world expects a man to make a fool of himself for a woman but is never forgives a woman who makes a fool of herself over a man.
