THE RICHMOND PLANET VOLUME XXVIII, NO. 10. Editor Mitchell's Long Journey. THE MORMON TEMPLE. Many Wives for One Man.—Bringham Young's Monument and Tomb. Colored Girls Wanted.—Jack Johnson Barred From Hotel There. (Continued From Last Week) We were soon at the entrance to the great Mormon Temple. Visitors had gathered, and at periodical times, the guide would lead or accompany a large number through this wonderful Temple Block. It occupies ten acres, and is surrounded by a stone adobe wall twelve feet high and three feet thick. There are gates on all four sides. We entered the South gate and stood at the small building, which is known as the location of the Bureau of Information. Save for ourselves and Mr. Johnson, we were the only colored persons in the group. We saw the Assembly Hall, but our desire was to see the wonderful tabernacle and our wish was gratified. THAT REMARKABLE TABERNACLE. We entered at the West End and stood on a level with the pulpit. The interior was simple. The seats or banches were in keeping. The colling was one immense sounding board semi-circular in shape. It is proper to say that it was elliptical in shape for it seats 8,000 people and is 250 feet long. An ordinary city block is supposed to be 300 feet long, and an idiot can be obtained of the length of this structure when it is stated that it is wood. The wood is supporting there being no columns to support it. The huge pillows are from 10 to 12 feet apart, and they support wooden arches, 10 feet thick, and with spans of 150 feet. All of this work is put together with wooden pins, there being no nails or iron in the structure COST MUCH MONEY The building was erected from 1866 to 1867. The original cost of the building was $300,000. The organ cost extra. It is one of the most wonderful instruments in the world, and when its keys are touched, it is difficult to distinguish the notes from those of the human voice. It was in the midst of this group and under the leadership of the Mormon elder that we proceeded around the building and around the gallery. The seats there were not close to the wall, but were about three feet away from it. We were led to the other end of the gallery and the white janitor stood at the rostrum. He was 200 feet away. Our guide informed us that the janitor would talk in a whisper. COULD HEAR THE PIN DROP. We could hear him "Now," said he, "the Janitor will drop a pin on the floor and you can now listen and see if you can hear it strike the floor." We could hear the sound distinctly when the pin struck the floor. The acoustics are perfect. (Continued on Fifth Page.) WILLIAMS LODGE HAS A GRAND TIME. The second annual banquet of Williams Lodge, No. 11, I. B. P. O. E. W., at Price's Hall, January 27th was a grand success. Grand Exalted Ruler, J. Frank Wheaton, of New York, was a prominent factor. The affair was one of the most enjoyable events of the season. Traveling State Deputy Sir Powell B₁ Williams was universally commended for his admirable management. The guests were delighted. Let me get you a good tenant for your flat or the whole house. B. CURPHAR, Agent. 602 Second Street. Phone: Monroe 588. Contractor Lawson Dead. Isaac Lawson, the well-known contractor and builder, died at his residence, 508 Et. James. Street. Iart Wednesday morning at a brief lit Trouble in Old Manchester. Becoming engaged in a dispute over some unknown question, Fred Coleman, colored, Tuesday night shot David Hilton, colored, in the fleebly part of his leg as the two colored men were standing on the corner of Sixteenth and Stockton streets. Had Hilton not seen Coleman draw his gun and turned to run, it is said, the thirty-two-callable bullet would have perhaps inflicted a fatal wound. Hilton was rushed to his home and a physician summoned. Dr. Vaughan, who attended the wounded man, said that the wound would probably not result fatally. Officer Waymack, who is the night officer in charge of the Washington Ward police station, was apprised of the shooting scrape and immediately set out in pursuit of Coleman. He succeeded in rounding up the Negro on the corner of Fifteenth and Doleman within half a mile after the shot was fired. Coleman was taken to the police station and locked up. He will be given a hearing this morning before Justice Maurice in Police Court, Part 2. Coleman claimed last night in the police station that Hilton had attacked him and knocked him down before he drew his gun, and that the shot had been fired in self-defense. Hilton tells a different version of the scrape. MECHANICS' SAVINGS BANK. Early Closing Hour. All banks that belong to the Clearing House Association of Richmond are required to close now at 2 P. M. every day but Saturday. Those who do not do so are barred from affiliation with that body and from membership therein. Nearly all of the banks have compiled with this rule. The patrons of the Mechanics' Savings Bank are notified accordingly, closing at 4 P. M., as heretofore, the bank will close at 2 P. M. OLD FASHION FAIR. To Be Given By Colord People. The Ladies' Auxiliary of the Woman's League Hospital this city, will give an old-fashion fair for the benefit of the Charity-Ward of the Hospital, at the Globe Theatre, North First Street, Feb. 14, 1911, to be continued until the 24th. The fair will open on the first night with a chorus of 100 voices by some of the best talents of the city, and addresses will be delivered by the leading citizens of the city. The managers of the fair will have 15 or 20 booths in the hall, and each booth will be named after some of the business housed in the city. A constituent of the管理局 of the city, soliciting different articles to go into the booths. The ladies have done much good among the poor of the city and are known as charitable workers. Through the kindness of Cant Andrew Pizzini and Mr. Wm. B Pizzini, the use of the building was donated at their expenses; the auxiliary consider it two hundred dollars as contributed toward the hospital, and they feel very grateful to these gentlemen and hope they may be able to return it in some future day.

(Omaha, Nob., Enterprise) We have just received a pamphlet from the Mechanica' Saving Bank of Richmond, Va., of which John Mitchell, Jr., is President. The booklet gives views and illustrations of the interior and exterior of the building and shows the progress the bank has made during its eight years of life. There is something very remarkable about this bank. It is the best illustration of race progress with which we have met in all the years that have gone. It shows a combination of powers of mind and character which makes it possible for a black man in a land of dollars to start naked at the close of slavery and build up a bank and receive the deposits of white men who formerly held him or him in bondage. The bank has today over two hundred and twenty-five thousand ($225,000) dollars deposits, and during the last two months of 1910 increased in deposits over twenty-five thousand ($25,000) dollars. We cannot say more than these figures themselves indicate to any reader of The Enterprise. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SAT URDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1911 MR. HUMPHREY PASSES AWAY.

Suit was instituted several months ago by Munie Hill and Matto Moseby for damages amounting to $6,000 each from the Virginia Railway and Power Company. The Hill case was tried at the November term and the plaintiff was awarded a verdict of $600. This companion case of Matto Moseby never came to trial. It is now announced that the vaduct or bridge across the Valley from Fourteenth and Marshall Sts., to Church Hill will be open to foot passengers in about two weeks. METROPOLITAN COMPANY The temperateuous career of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty Company, whose pretentious headquarters in this city on Fort-xxth street and Eighth avenue, wore sold at public auction in December, came to a final close Wednesday afternoon with the meeting of the stockholders at St James A. M. E. Church, Newark, N. J, and the announcement to them that the Attorney General's office of the State had revoked their charter, owing to their failure to pay taxes of over $3,000. The company was incorporated for $1,000,000 under the laws of New Jersey and as a consequence, as Secretary of the Company, P. E. Jones, said in the turbulent meeting with the revoking of the charter the company "is no more". The failure of the Metropolitan carries heavy loss and complete ruin in its wake to many hundreds of hard-working men and women and as many of them as crowded the Newark church caused a wild scene of charges and confusion when the fact was announced to them. MEETING FIRST CALLED FOR CONFERENCE. The meeting was originally called for a conference at the office of H. W. Harrott, the Newark agent and director, and such was the number that responded that the proposed conference had to seek the larger quarters of the church. Since the issue of the call, however, as it seems, on January 19, the Attorney General notified the company of the State's action and there was not sufficient time left to change the purpose of the summons. Only on Monday a committee of Newark business man and stockholders composed M. Mears. J. W. Freennm, J. H. Morsham, J. W. Holmes and James H. Hilton, called at the office and presented a petition that a meeting of the members be held at the office of directors. The directors were J. H Atkins, president of the company L. C. Collins, treasurer, P. E. Jones secretary, all of Newark, Wm H Lord of Connecticut, and H. W. Barrett. The petition relied that for the past six or seven years the company had been run in utter disregard of the laws of New Jersey. COMPANY HASN'T A DOLLAR Secretary Jones was the first to address the angry gathering many of whom had come from as far away as Atlantic City and Philadelphia, and despite the efforts of the president to keep him from saying too much, the suppressed murmuring about arrests and police caused the speaker to tell everything apparently that he knew and thought the public ought to know. In reply to a question from the audience he said, the company didn't have a dollar on hand or in the bank. He further said that under the receivers the stockholders wouldn't realize 5 per cent. H. H. Dennis, of the New York Blding Academy, 5 West Fifty sixth street, and a stockholder, produced a documentary statement from District Attorney Whitman's office to the effect that the company on July 31, 1910, reported that it had $110 on hand. I. C. Collins treasurer showed that the company had collected during the last ten years $435,000. He said the "net assets" of the company at the present time are $214,000 of which he claimed $157,000 was owed for in stocks. STOCKHOLDERS DEMAND MONEY A resolution was then made by the officers and directors of the company to the effect that the stockholders should consider some plan of reorganization, but this motion was drowned down and out by a storm of disapproval. Dr. Love爱lead a complete dissolution of the company and ringing words met the almost unanimous approval of the house. The audience was in mood to hear only of money but would have none of reorganization. WOMAN PLEADS FOR WORKING WOMEN. Perhaps the most affecting speech of the afternoon was that of an obscure woman stockholder, who pitfully asked what disposition did they want to make of the women of the company, who are cooks, laundresses and maids, had dented themselves with the company almost alone for the last five years. —Amatordam News, New York, N.

PROPERTY UNDER THE HAMMER. That the Order of the True Reformers has been a failure for a long time, but that the people did not know it, seems to be borne out by facts which are now coming to light. The following notice of sale of the True Reformers' Hall at Newport News, Va., explains itself TRUSTEE'S SALE OF VALUABLE REAL ESTATE IN THE CITY OF NEWPORT NEWS By virtue of a certain deed of trust dated the 6th day of December, 1901 and recorded in the clerk's office of the Corporation Court of the City of Newport News Va., in Deed Book 27, page 415 and in Deed Book 35, page 88, default having been made in the payment of the debt thereby secured and being requested by the beneficiary so to do. I shall proceed to sell at public auction, upon the premises on Thursday, February 9th, 1911, at 12 o'clock M. the following described real estate. Those two certain lots with a three story brick building and improvements thereon situate in the City of Newport News Virginia, known as lots numbers 39 and 40 in block number 33, on "Map of part of the City of Newport News, Virginia," which map is of record in the clerk's office of the Corporation Court of the City of Newport News in Plat Book No. 1, p. 3. (sold real estate being situate at the corner of Madison avenue and Twenty third street and commonly called "Columbia Opera Building" or "True Reformers Hall") TERMS One-third cash balance in two equal installments at six and twelve months, with interest and secured by first mortgage or deed of trust upon the property, or all cash at the option of the purchaser J C ROBERTSON, Trustee 608 N. Second Street, Richmond, Va. It will be seen that this mortgage was recorded six years ago. Unless some positive action is taken by the bank, it will take place all over the country. SELLS BANK PROPERTY A deed of bargain and sale was recorded January 31, 1911, from Mr Wm A M寡ure and Mr E M Pilchar, special commissioner of the Savings Bang, Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers conveying to Mr Satko and wife (1300) one hundred and thirty acres of land. This property is situated nine miles from this city on White Oak Swamp and the record was in the Hource county court clerk's office. OTHER REAL ESTATE TO GO The work of liquidation is going steadily on, and the assets of the bank are being gradually converted into money. The receivers have given no intimation as to when they will report, although it is generally known that they are practically now ready to make a report. As the buildings are said to belong to the bank as a result of its ownership of the stock in the True Reformer Richmond Merchant and Industrial Association, which owned all of the halls of the True Reformers but two, it is now evident that a general sale of this property will steadily go on until the Order will have been shorn of all of its real estate. THE QUESTION OF RECEIVER SHIP The meeting of the Grand Fountain may save to the Order the Home Office. If the Bureau of Insurance rules after the report of the receivers of the Savings Bank, Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, that the assets of the Order are less than three annual assessments, then the license to do business will be revoked absolutely, and the last recourse will be to secure a receiver for the Order, who will be friendly to its Interests and to wind up the affairs of that body. This will result in the deposition of Grand Worthy Master Holmes, unless the receiver appointed sees fit to continue him in charge under his direction. It has now been ascertained that some of the True Reformer Bank officials are stating boldly that the bank is not in debt to the Order. It is known that the officials of the Order as represented by Grand Worthy Secretary W. P. Burrell declare em- phatically that the bank is in debt to the Order. There is no longer any attempt to conceal the fact that there is friction between the True Reformer officials, not only on this, but on several other questions. The Executive Committee has taken no further action on the report relative to ex Superintendent Thos. W Taylor. The master will no doubt come up for action before the Grand Fountain. If the entire account is gone into, an effort will be made to show from the records and from Mr Taylor's own reports that he owes the Old Fols' Home Department near five thousand dollars that two thousand dollars SLRELY DRIETING The committee reported about nineteen hundred dollars. The whole affair is slowly, but surely drifting to a court litigation. Mr. Taylor claims that he does not owe as much as is charged against him, and he is willing to pay upon the basis of what he concedes he owes. Tell me what you want. In the Estimate line and I’ll get it for Yoh! Funeral of W. A. Johnson. The last sad obsequies over all that was mortal of Mr Wm A Johnson, deservedly, popular scholar teacher and postoffice clerk, were held at the Leigh Street Methodus Church last Sunday afternoon at 11 a.m., crowded to overflowing notwithstanding the down-pouring rain. ABLE SERMON Prayer was offered by Rev Dc W T Johnson. The pastor, Rev Dr C E Hodges, officiated, and in an eloquent able colony portrayed the life and character of this good Christian gentleman devoted husband, loving father and sincere friend.

A Word to the Baptist Host: Lynchburg, Va., Jan. 26, 1911 Dear Servant of God,—The first decade of the 20th century has passed away, and its labors are a sealed book. The future faces us and presents its problems. Our duty is plain. The fields are all white, ready to harvest. A race is to be elevated by a wise disposition of its own resources, reinforced by reasonable aid from others. In Virginia large interests are at state churches must have a qualified minister, our schools good teachers, and our homes the right kind of mothers and fathers. We must help, both North and South, in this work. Missionary work has dotted the State with churches and greatly elevated and improved the home life of the people. The race has made marvelous progress in thirty years. In view of these general conditions certain specific duties confront us all. The colored people, the colored Baptists own and control one high grade school in the State. What the churches have done for missions through the years since the Emancipation, the schools must do for education. If the 300,000 Nogro Baptists averaged cents each for the school, the school should cost 400,000 for this purpose. It costs about $30,000 a year to run the Virginia Union University. The Virginia Seminary and College costs about $12,000 for all purposes. Properly organized, these forces can make the Seminary the equal in every respect to many schools that cost five times as much The course of study is the most advanced in the State offered to colored students, and no college has professors who have better opportunities to do good. Our teachers can do the work and are doing it. The graduates of the school are doing a great work. They are measuring up to the tasks that come to them and are doing successful work. both North and South. They are so numerous that one cannot take space to mention them, but the instructor gives a long and honorable roll call. Let us all organize our forces Every Negro pastor should bestir himself and send up more money for the Lord's work. We should easily raise $12,000 at Richmond In May. Let us do personal work and let us make personal pledges. This we ought to do in order to help the cause of missions and education. During the year the Seminary has been given the opportunity to plant at a cost of $2,250. It is quite successful. The students are pleased and the teachers are comfortable in their rooms. Our school now offers the best of accommodations. The rooms and halls are beautiful and every thing is attractive. The coming meeting of the State Convention is to be a record-breaker. Let everybody go to Richmond. The Fifth Street church will do honor to itself its distinguished pastor and its God. We all will at it today. Other Richmond pastors will aid Dr. Graham and his great church. JAMES R. L. DIGGS, President Virginia Seminary. --- Tribute From the Pacific Coast --- (8an Francisco Cal, Western Outlook) At the annual meeting of the stockholder of the Mechanical Savings Bank of Richmond, Va., Jno Mitchell, Jr., was re-elected to the board of directors, and by them president. Much of his report dealt with his trip to California, and he was listened to with rapt attention. The affairs of the bank were found to be in a most healthy condition, deposits for 1910 being the largest in its history by over $100,000 and reaching the splendid total of $684,524 86. If we had never been interested in Mr. Mitchell before, we are all now, especially since he has visited us and left the impression that he did, and anything about him and his work shall always find a place in our columns. We are proud of his achievements as showing the possibilities of the race and there are thousands no doubt who would like to see him visit us again and touch elbows with him. Wanta To Pind Him.

Kallog sympathizes with Duncan, who meets some of his old time acquaintances of the home of his friend. Duncan, who is encouraged, and outlines a novel scheme whereby Duncan can repair his shattered furniture. The scheme is that Duncan should go to a dress shop, dress well, go to church, work steadily and thus attract and marry the wealthiest girl in the town. Duncan decides to follow Kallog's surge and with an array of made-up clothes departs for and arrives at Badville. Old Sam Graham runs a dilapidated, old of date little drug store in Badville and wasted his time on various inventions. BARRY Graham, the old man's pretty but worn daughter, works in the store. Littleton, the editor, becomes acquainted with Duncan. "Silky" Lockwood is the richest man in the village, and Duncan is interested to learn that the old miser has a daughter.

Her father who had left Kellogg and come in to get Nat's advice regarding some large orders received that day greeted her warmly, gave her a part in an interview, "Nat, I'm so glad to see you again" "It's all a surprise, Betty."

Besides, I thought that you or father—"Hat" her eyes fell, and she faltered, withdrawing ten hands. By now he had himself in hand "Why." he insulted, "you nearly took my breath away. Even now I can hardly believe it." "Bellove what, Nat?" she asked quickly. "That you're the same little Betty Graham. I never saw such a change." "It's a change for the better, isn't it. Half" she asked, with a smile half whisper. "I should think it was. It's just marvelous." "Did I seem so very awful, then?" "Nonsense. You know you didn't. only now"— "Then you think father will be pleased?" "If he isn't I'm blind."

And ever since I've been watching you while you were making life a heaven for father and me and thinking that if I were a man I'd try to be as near like you as I could." "don't say that!" he pleaded wretchedly. "It's true. And when you sent me away to school I promised myself I'd try to repay you for the sacrifice you must be making for me, that I'd not low your example as nearly as ever I could. that I'd work hard and try to treat people the way you do—kindly, Nat, and considerably and bravely and tenderly and honestly. He dropped into a chair near her and buried his head in his hands. "Dou't he begged huskily "Please, Betty don't." She bent forward and took one of his hands, putting it softly. "Nat, I think you're the very best man in the whole world." "Don't he greained "Don't, for heaven's sake." "Oh, I know. Nat I know you don't like me to say this, but I must, just the same, tell you the truth about my life. It is a special kind of life you'd want in an inconsequious of it, but I want you to realize it and know that I do too. You've made everybody love you and..." But confusion stilled her, and she gently replaced his hand. For several moments neither spoke. Then Nat broke the tension with a short, hard laugh. "That's right," he said discreetly, "that was the idea." "Nat, what do you mean?" He turned to her. "Betty, does it make you feel that way toward me?" She colored divinely. "Why, Nat, of course. Why, every one—" "That's why I came here, Betty," he pursued, blind to her embarrassment. "I came here with the idea of getting married" He was starting gloomily at the door and could not see the light that dawned upon the girl's face. "You never guessed that, did you?" "No," she breathed brokenly. "No, Nat, I." "Well, it is the truth, and—" He rose and mourned it. "But I can't tell you just now of now." "No, not now, Nat." Betty, too, got up. "I think I'd better go home and see father I couldn't forget." She faltered, half blinded by the mist of the happiness before her eyes. "No-wait." She stopped to and haze gaze full upon her. For the first time he comprehended that she had not understood, that worst of all, she had misunderstood. "I must tell you," he blurted desperately. "I must Instinctively he moved step toward him. He hung his head. "Tonight. Betty this evening, just a little while ago, I became engaged to Josie Lockwood." He stood as if perified throughout a room that seemed to both intermingle. "Oh, Nat dear," she said, "I'm so glad for you. I wish you all the happiness in the world. I — Good night." After some time he awoke to the knowledge that she was gone. "Biflinger fool!" he growled. "Why didn't I know I loved her like this?" He took a刀 and fro, distracted. "And now I've made a mess of everything. Good Lord, what can I do? I must do something or go mad!" He swung round behind the soda fountain counter and seized a bottle. "I know what! The rules are off! I can have a drink! I can have two drinks! I can have a million drinks if I want 'em!" Pouring a generous dose of raw whisky into the glass, he lifted it to his lips and threw back his head. But the heavy bouquet of the liquor was stifling in his nostrils, and the first mouthful of it almost choked him. In a fury he flung the glass from him so that it crushed and splattered upon the floor "Great benvenu," he cried. "I don't like the stuff any more! But"—his gaze fell upon the cigar case—I can have a smoke. That'll help some! With feverish haste he snatched a cigar from the nearest box, gnashed off one end and, thrusting the other into the alcohol lighter, puffed vigorously. But to his renovated palate the potent fumes of the tobacco were no leas reignant than the whisky had been. Half strangled, he plucked the cigar from his mouth and stamped on it. "Oh," he cried wildly, "I'll be—I'll be damned" He paused, staring vacantly at nothing. "And even that doesn't do any good. God help me, I've forgotten how to awear." He him in this overwrought state came Tracey, lumbering cheerfully in his mouth shaped for a whistle. At sight of Nat he pulled up as if hit by a club. "Evenbh!, Mr Duncan. What's the matter?" By an effort Nat brought his gaze to bear upon the boy and comprehended his existence. "An't you feelin' well, Mr Duncan?" "No—rotten." "What's the matter?" At that instant Kellogg appeared. "Hello, Nat! What's been keeping you? I came down to bring you home to supper" "Go to blazes with your supper! Keep away from me! Don't talk to me! I don't want anything to do with you, you'd understand? You and your confounded systems have got me into all this!" He caught sight of his hat abruptly, ceased talking, grabbed the hat and 1 "HERE! HOLD ON! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" jammed it on his head, muttering, then started on a run for the door. "Come on, I'm going to be commanded Kellog, thunderstruck "Here! Hold on! Where are you going?" "To the only place I can get any consolation. I'm going to church!" CHAPTER XXII BUT at the doorstep of the Methodist church Nat hesitated. The building was dimly lighted, for it was choir practice night, and the door was jar, but he couldn't bring himself to enter. Raving and ranting with the extravagance of youth, he passed through the village, out into the open country, and, in the course of an hour and a half, back all blindly, circling back to the store, in the course of his wandering, as instinctively as a carrier pigeon shapes its course for home. It was with incredulity that he found himself again in that cheerful, cherished, homely place. But there he was when he came out of his abstraction—there in those familiar surroundings, with Tracey's round red face bouncing at it over the cigar stand like a lively counterfeit of the round red moon he had watched lift up into the skies, back there in the still conifer-side, just as he paused to turn back to town. He recollected his faculties and resumed command of himself sufficiently to acknowledge Tracey's greeting with a moody word. "All right, Tracey," he said abruptly. "You may go now. I'll shut up the store." He looked at his watch and was surprised to discover that it was no later COPYRIGHT, 1910, BY WINCHELL SMITH AND LOUIS JOSEPH VANCE than half past 8. He seemed to have lived a lifetime in the last few hours. "Thank you, sir," said Tracey, with a gush of gratitude. "I'll be glad to get off. Angie's waitin'." "Angie?" he said. "Good evening, Mr. Duncan." "Oh, Miss Tuthill!" Nat discovered that little rogue, all smiles and dimples and blushes, not distant from his elbow. "I didn't see you—I was thinking." "Guess we know what you was thinkin' about," observed Tracey, bringing his hat round the counter. "Everybody in town's talkin' about it." "About what?" "Ah, you know about what, and we're mighty glad of it, and we want to congratulate you, don't we, Angie." "Yes." "Oh, yes, indeed, Mr. Duncan. It's just too sweet for anything." "O Lord!" groaned Nat. "I am awful glad you done it when you did," pursued Tracey, oblivious to Nat in his own ecstatic temper. "I guess I wouldn't ever've got up the spunk to—to tell Angle what I did tonight" it hadn't been we was talkin' "bout your engagement to Joelle. Then, somehow, it just seemed to bust right out of me, like I couldn't hold it no longer. Didn't it, Angle?" "Oh, Tracer, how can you talk so?" "Then you are engaged, too?" Nat inquired, rousing himself a little and emiling feeble upon them. "Yes, sir." "I'm glad to hear it. It's great news. Now, run along, both of you, and don't forget you'll never be so happy again." With what he thought an expiring "IT'S JUST TOO SWEET FOR ANYTHING." snaah of humor he raised his hands above their heads. "Bless you, my children!" he said solemnly "Now, for heaven's sake beat it!" Alone he went to the prescription desk and, opening one of the drawers, took out the firm's books. After that for some fifteen minutes there was nothing to be heard in the store save Nat's breathing and the scratching of his pen as he figured out a trial balance. Brisk footfalls disturbed him. He sighed and moved out into the store to find Kellogg there, save and easy, as always, yet with that in his manner, perceptible perhaps only to a friend of long standing like Nat, to botray a mind far from complacent. "Oh, you re hero!" he cried, with a distinct start of relief. "I've been looking all over for you." "I just got in." Nat brushed aside explanations curtly, intent upon his purpose. "Harry, I've got something to say to you. I'm not going through with this thing." "You're not!" "No, and that's final. I was just on the point of drawing you a check for three hundred—that's all my share of the profits of this concern so far—and my note for the balance. I pay that up as soon as I'm able, and I'll work like a terrier until I do. But, as for the rest of it, I'm through." "Oh, you are?" Kellogg took a chair and tipped back, frowning gravely. "But what about your word to me?" "There's nothing to that," said Duncan without hat. "The word of honor of a man who's stood to a trick as vile as I have doesn't amount to a continental shipmaster. I'll rather be dishonored by breaking it than by ruling it." "Gry well, if you feel that way about it," still Kellogg as coolly. "And you may keep your check and note; I wouldn't take them. You can pay me back when it's equivalent—I don't care when. But what I want to know is what you mean to do." "I mean to do the only thing left to do. I'm going to shut up here and then see Lockwood and Josie and tell them the whole story." "Him" Kellogg reflected, quizzical. "You've got a pleasant little job ahead of you." "I don't care about that. I deserve all that's coming to me. I owe Josie a duty. Why, it's lawful, Harry, to trick a girl into caring for you and then to—to—" "Breek her heart?" Kellogg's tone was sardonic. "That's what I meant." "Don't fatter yourself, my boy. Josie Lockwood doesn't love you. She just set herself to win you because you're the best chance she's seen." Kellogg laughed quietly. "The system would have worked just as well if any one else had tried it." "Do you think so—hope? Nat's questions to believe you was unlucky." "I'm sure of it. The trouble is that people will say you've thrown her over—there isn't any one in Radville who hasn't heard the news by this time—and that's going to make the girl feel pretty cheap, but only for awhile. She'll get over it and solace herself with the next best thing. And don't forget—you lose a fortune." No, I don't. Duncan disclaimed. "I never had it and now I don't want it." "That's true enough." Kellogg admitted evenly. "And I hope you'll always feel that way about it; but, believe me, you'll find plenty of money a great help if you want to live a happy life." "I'll better things than money to make a man happy. I'll pass up the money and try for the others." "That's true too. But when did you find it out?" "Harry this last year. You know I had everything my heart desired until the governor cashed in, and I used to think I was a pretty happy kid in those days. But now I've learned that you can beat that kind of happiness to death. Harry"—Duncan was growing almost acutuous—"the real way you can happily work with someone to something and—and to have some one who believes in you to work for" "In this sermon, Nat" "Call it what you like. It goes, just the same. That's what I've found out this year." CHAPTER XXIII KELLOGG let his chair fall forward and rose, imprisoning Nat's shoulders with two heavy but kindly hands. "And you right?" he cried heartily. "I'm glad you had the backbone to back out, Nat. It was a low down trick, and I'm ashamed of myself for proposing it. I did it. I presume, simply because I'm a schemer at heart and I knew it would work. It did work, but it's worked a finer way than I dreamed of—it's made a man of you, Nat, and I'm mighty glad and proud of you." Nat swayed with amazement. "What's changed you all of a sudden?" he demanded blankly. Releasing him, Kellogg resumed his seat, laughing. "Well, a number of things. Among others, I've talked with Graham, and I've met his daughter." "Oh-hi!" "And that reminds me"—Kellogg changed the subject brakly—"I understood from you that Graham was sole owner of that patent burner." "He says not. I had a proposition to make him from the Mutual people, and he referred me to you, saying that you controlled the matter." "I've not the slightest interest in it." Nat protested. "I know you haven't but Graham insisted you owned the whole thing. I pressed him for an explanation, and he finally furnished one in his rambling, inconsequent, fine old way. He admitted that there wasn't any sort of existing contract or agreement of any kind, even oral, between you, but just the same you'd been no good to him and his girl that he'd made up his mind—some time ago. I gather—to make you a present of the burner, but naturally he forgot to tell you about an insignificant detail like that." "Of course that's nonsense. I wouldn't and shout accept." "Of course you want. I did you, the honor to discount that. But he wouldn't say a word about the offer, yes or no you left it all up to you. He says you're a business man and that he often thought what a help you must have been to me before you left New York." Nat laughed outright. "Can you beat that? But what is the offer?" "Fifty thousand cash and 10,000 shares of preferred stock—$100 par." "What's that worth?" "At the market rate when I left town 7R." Kellogg waited a moment. "Well, what do you say?" "Say? Great Chessar's ghost! What is there to say? Wire'm an acceptance before they get their second wind. You don't know how good this makes me feel. Harry. I can't thank you enough for what you done. This'll square me with Graham to some extent, and I can clear out!" "No, you can't. Mr. Smarty! You ain't been cute enough." Both men, startled by the insultation, wheeled round to discover Roland Barnette dancing with excitement in the doorway, the while he beckoned frantically to an invisible party without, "Come on!" he shouted, "Here he is!" "What's eating you, Roby Poly?" inquired Nat, too happy for the money to cherish animosity even toward his one time rival. "You'll find out soon enough," snarled Roland, "Mr. Lockwood got something to say to you, I guesa." And on the beels of this announcement Lockwood strode into the store, Josie clinging to his arm, Pete Willing—a tride more surely drunk than he had been some hours previous—bringing up the rear. "So, snarled Bilinky, hailing and transmitting Nat with the star of his blue eyes—so we were found, you say? Oh! I didn't know. I was lost!" "No nonsense, young man. I am in the humor for you." Bilinky was. ```markdown ``` "NO WE'VE FOUND YOU, ENT" unquestionably in no sort of humor at all beyond an evil one. "I come here to have a word with you." "Well, sir!" Nat's tone and attitude were perfectly pacific. "Ah, there isn't no use beating' round the bush. You've behaved yourself ever since you come to Radville and insinulated yourself into our confidence, spite of the fact that nobody in town knows who you were before you came. But now Roland's laid a charge again you; and I want to know the rights to it." "Well, Roland interposed cockily, 'I accused him of it tonight, and did him say it.'" "What's more," Lockwood continued, with rising color. "Roland says he can prove it." "Prove what?" Nat insisted. "Get down to facts, can't you?" "That you're a thief, with a reward out for you," said Roland. "You're that Mortimer Henry what abscended from the Longuque National bank in Noo York." There fell a brief pause. Nat bowed his head and tugged at his mustache. his shoulders shaking with emotion rassiously construed by those who watched him. Presently he looked up again, his features gravely corrobed. ```markdown ``` "BOYL," said HIM, "BALAAM MUST MISS YOU TERRIBILLY." "Holy," said he. "Palam must miss you terribly." "That ain't no answer." Lockwood put himself solidly between Nat and the object of his obscure remark, who was painfully digging it. "I want to know about this. You got my daughter to say she'd marry you this evening, and you've got to explain to me about this bank business before it gets spawned." "Yes," commented Nat clutty. "Yes," thundered Dilhky. "Do you deny it? Answer me." To Kallogy's huge diversion Nat struck an attitude. "I refuse to answer," said he. "Ah! What's it, tell you?" This was Holland's trumpet cew. "Nait" Joelo advanced, trembling with excitement. "Tell me, what does this mean?" Duncan perforce avoided her gaze. "Don't ask," he said sadly. "Is it true?" she insisted. "You heard what Roby said," he replied, with a chastened expression. "Then you admit it!" "Is admit nothing." "Oh-bi!" The girl drew away from him as from depletion. "I—I hate you!' she cried in a voice of loathing. "That's all right." he told her serenely. "I've deplied myself all evening." The girl] showed him a scourful back. "Papa!" she began. "Don't thank me, Josie. Roland done it all. He got on to him." Lockwood continued to watch Duncan with the air of a cat crying a mouse. "Impulsively Josie moved to Roland's side and caught his arm. He drew himself up proudly. "I do thank you. Roland. I can never be grateful enough. I've boon so foolish." "That's all right." Roland tucked the girl's hand beneath his arm and patted it down. "You wasn't to blame. I never see any one from New York yet that wasn't a crook." "Won't you please take me away from this—place. Roland?" she appealed. "I'll be mighty glad to see you home, Josie," he assured her generously, turning In the act of leaving Josie caught Nat's eye. She shung back for an instant, withering him with a glare. "Oh h!" she cried. "How did you dare pretend to care for me?" He bowed politely. "It was one of the rules, Josie." "There's no need to tell you, I guess, that the engagement is broken." "None whatever, Miss Lockwood. Good evening." "Come, Roland!" Arm in arm they left, with the haughty tread of the eloc, while Pete Willing latched to Duncan's side and taught his arm. "Come long to jah, Mish'r Duncan," he said, with sympathy. "Mush'bessher." "You look after him, Pete." Lockwood turned to leave with a final shot for Duncan. "I'll tend to your case in the morning," young man, and I'll make you wish you never came to this town." "You needn't trouble. I feel that way about it already Good night." Lockwood left them, snarling. Nat caught Kellogg's eye and began to giggle. But Pete was still holding him flat, partially, beyond doubt, for support. "You've been saved just in time, Mish'r Duncan," he commented. "We are mighty lucky man. Now, lissen; you better make tracks. I ain't got no warrant to hold you. 'nd I wouldn't if I had." "You're a good fellow, Pete, but you needn't worry. I'm not the man they think me, and I'll be easy to prove." "Waal," said Pete, "just the same, you better git out 'r you may have to marry her off all." "No, I won't." "Thank Gawd fr that!" Pete exclaimed in maudlin gratitude. He swung widely toward the door and by a miracle found it. "G' night, Mishir Duncan. I feel's good 'bout this I'm goin' try gain' home 'nd face 'm wife G' night." "Good night, Pete." "Well," said Kellogg after a pause "that was a bit of luck." "Luck!" Nat seked his hat and he gan to turn off the lights. "It a more luck than I thought there was in the whole world. Come along." "Where are you going?" "First to see Lockwood and have it out with him." "No, you aren't." Kellogg laughed an Nat locked the door. "You're going to leave Lockwood to me. I'll manage to ease his mind. You've got infinitely more important matters to attend You, and the sooner you find her the better, Nat." As Duncan hurried homeward the rolling of the thunder grew sharp, more instant upon the flashes. When there was no wind the air seemed to quiver with terror, as a dog cringes to the whip. But of this Duncan was barely conscious. He gained the gate in the fence of wood paling, opened it and entered. The lawn and house were lit with the unearthly radiance of moonlight threatened by eclipse. He could see the light in Graham's study and through the open doors the faint glow of the hall lamp. But there was no one visible. He hurried up the path, tortured by impatience, fear, longing, despair. Then he saw what seemed at first a pale shadow detach itself from darker shades in the shrubbery and move toward hip. "Nat, is it you?" "Not?" "Hate." His mole heart was in that cry. The girl thrilled to its timbre as though a master hand had struck a chord upon her heartstrings. "What what-what is it?" "Better, I want to tell you something." She came, very slowly toward him, torn alternately by fear and hope. What did he mean? "Do you happen to remember that I told you awhile ago I was engaged to Jodie Lockwood?" "Nail Could I forget? Why?" --- "Because it's broken off, Betty." "Broken off. How? Why?" "Because it had to be, sweetheart—because I love you." She was close to him then. Her uplifted face shone like marble in the fading light. "Nat, I-1 don't understand." "Then listen. I must tell you. It was all a plan, a scheme, my coming here, Betty. Everything I did, said, thought, was part of a contemptible trick. I meant to marry Jock-Lockwood, whom I'd never seen, for her money. Now you know what I was. 44 "BECAUSE I LOVE YOU." dear. But it's different now. I'm not the same man who came to Radville ten months ago. I've learned a little to understand the right, I hope. I've learned to love and reverence goodness and purity and unselfishness, and—and I want to be a man, the kind of man you thought me, a man worthy of you and your love, Betty, because I love you. I want you to be my wife. And—oh, Betty, Betty—I need you to help me! His voice broke. He waited, every nerve and fiber of him tense for her answer. While he had been speaking the onrush of the storm had blotted out the moon. There was only darkness there in the garden—deep, dense darkness—so thick he could not even see the shimmer of her dress. Then suddenly she was in his arms, shaking and sobbing, straining him to her. "Oh, Nat, my Natl I've loved you from the first day I ever saw you! You know I have." "Better—welcomeheart!" There came an abrupt, furious patter of heavy drops of water beating upon the foliage, splashing and rebounding from the house. "Forever and ever, Nat?" "Forever and ever and a day, my dear—my dear." A little later an anxious voice—old Sam's—hailed them from the house. A THEY WERE UNCONSCIOUS OF THE DOWN-POUR. but was drowned by the downpour. They were as unconscious of it as of the storm. So that presently old Sam had to run down the path with a big umbrella to shield them until they should come to their senses. THE END. Origin of the Turban The origin of the turban must be looked for not, as commonly believed, among Moslems, but as a sign of authority and honor dating back to the earliest periods of Jewish history. The term used in the Hebrew Bible for putting on the bonnet of the high priest is from a root meaning "to bind round." The words miter, hood, diadem, as used in the Old Testament, are only variations of the word turban. Jerome tells us that the turban has a place in the most ancient records of history. The variations as adopted by Mohammadians are many. Their own authorities hint at a thousand methods of arranging the turban, which show not only the tribe and religious distinction, but even the personal peculiarities of the wearer. An old legend traces the turban to an act of desperate courage recorded of the ancient Levantines. A brave band of warriors are said to have wrapped their winding sheets round their heads as they devoted themselves to certain death to save their comrades on the tatlinfield.

Divides State Into Four Districts and Gives School Boards Power to Levy Taxes. Renator Tustin, of Philadelphia, introduced the school code into the Pennsylvania senate. This bill lacks some of the features which made the code of two years ago unacceptable and is expected to pull through. One of its chief provisions enables the Philadelphia school board to float its own loans and imposes on the school district, as distinct from the city, a proportion of the municipal debt. By enabling the school district to assume its own loans the Philadelphia debt limit will be increased about $30,000,000. Elective school boards of fifteen members in Philadelphia and Pittstburg, each member to serve six years, the right of the Philadelphia board to levy a separate tax not to exceed six mills for school purpose and to make loans for building new school buildings; division of the state into four classes of school districts, the first class embracing Philadelphia and Pittstburg; and the divorce of the school control in any way from city councils are the important features of the code. The school districts of the second class, according to the new code, will be made up of those having a population of, from 20,000 to 50,000. In Philadelphia and Pittsburgh the school boards will have fifteen members, all of whom will be first appointed by the courts, one-third for two years, one-third for four years and one-third for six years, and at the expiration of their terms, their successors will be elected bi-annually at large for terms of six years. This method has been followed, it is explained, because of the demand that a board which has the right to levy school taxes and in HAIR-VIM CHEMICAL COMPANY, INC.

This will give the city the opportunity of borrowing additional millions when the school loans are taken over by the board. The school loans can exceed 1.2 percent of the valuation of the city. The school board will be required to pay all school expenses, interest and sinking fund charges, all school tax. The new code provides for a state board of education of seven purrums to be appointed by the governor for six years, the term of one to expire each year. The board members are to serve without pay and their function will be largely advisory. They will have the power to investigate school problems and recommend new legislation. The code calls for the accumulation of a state school fund by revenues from the forest lands of the state. The revenues are to be kept intact only the income from them being used. Medical inspection for every child in the schools of the state is a feature of the bill. One section gives superintendents and supervising principals the power to select, recommend a loft and make changes of text books.

MINE WORKERS ATTACK MITCHELL Must Quit Civic Federation or the Union. SOCIALISTS AGAINST HIM Former President of Mine Workers Will Have Until April to Decide to Which Organization He Will Cling. After debating the question at two previous conventions, the United Mine Workers of America, at Columbus O., by a vote of 1213 to 367, decided to amend their constitution so that John Mitchell, former president of the miners, will either have to resign from the Civic Federation or get out of the miners' organization The amendment stipulates that all miners becoming mine bosses, super intendents, members of the National Civic Federation or other organizations allied with the employer class shall be inteligible to the membership of the United Mine Workers. The Socialist element of the convention voted almost solidly against the connection of Mitchell with the Civic Federation as did also the Lewis strength Mitchell will have until next April to decide to which organization he williling. A year ago he was quoted as saying that he would not forsake the miners under any consideration. Indianapolis probably will land the next convention although Washington Portland the Columbus and other cities are seeking to win the honor. Although it has been suggested that Columbus be selected for permanent headquarters the idea has been given up. In a telegram to the convention John Mitchell from New York, declared the action a cruel injustice, and went on to say "I recognize the legal right of the convention to enact this legislation, and while I believe that an investigation should have been made by your convention before passing judgment averse to the National Citie Federation and against me personally nevertheless, I submit to your wishes, although I shall live in the consciousness that the men and women at home, for whom I worked for many years, will not contour in your conclusions." MASKED MEN ROB HOUSE Beat Head of Family and Scare Women. With Guns. Jacob M. Kooker of Aquetong, eight miles from Boulestown, Pa., was the victim of a daring pair of hold up men.

SATURDAY,.....FEB. 4, 1911 A great churchman fell, when Bishop A. Grant, of Kansas City, Kansas died. The A M E. Church could ill afford to lose him at this time. He was one of the most popular leaders in the Church. It is singular that his wife should die January 14, 1911, and that he should die January 22, 1911. The two will bask in God's sunshine on the banks of the river and sing songs of the great deliverance together His remains were interred at San Antonio, Texas. We knew him well, and his words of constant approval of our years of toll and racial endeavor were sweet music to our ears. DR. WASHINGTON'S NEW PROV OSTION. --- We never had any doubt but what President Taft's proposition to postpone action on National Negro Exposition, commemorative of the ninth anniversary of the freedom of the colored people of this country, would result in its failure. When he recommended that Congress appoint a commission to inquire into the advisability of doing what he said should be done, then we knew that "the jig was up," so to speak, and that the pigeon-holling of this great proposition was at hand. Hon. R. R. Wright took this same view of the matter. The Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League, under the advice and guidance of that great leader, Dr. Booker T. Washington, now proposes a general observance throughout the country in every State, country, and city, where the local orators can unburden themselves and stir a people to action. It looks to us that this is about all that they can do. Still this will not carry out the idea of a central exposition, and the effect will not be the same. We believe that we should have held the exposition at our own expense, and not under the guidance or at the expense of the National Government. We are able to do it, if we will, and it would be a practical example of self-help and not of out-side charity. If wealthy white men what we have raised ourselves, so well and so good. We find that one dollar raised by oursels will go further in the equation of race progenies than ten dollars raised for us by somebody else. We see no objection. tion whatever to the plan, proposed, but we do not regard it in any sonas as being a substitute for the expedition proposition, or that it will even in a measure accomplish the purpose set forth in the original plan for recognition, which was made to the disinguished occupant of the White House. A CHANGE OF FRONT. The white citizens of Newport News, Va., seem to be on the legal and proper way to keep colored people from encroaching upon choice real estate owned by white people. The following clipping explains it self. NEWPORT NEWS, VA, Jan 27 — Property owners living in and adjacent to the section of East End, bounded by Qpk and the streets avenues and Twenty-eighth and Twenty-seventh streets are much divided as to the advisability of turning their property over to negroes for residential purposes. Following the action of a number of persons owning property in this neighborhood, in advertising the fact that they would put their houses and lots in the hands of real estate dealers to be offered for rent or sale to negroes others have prepared a written agreement in which they declare themselves in favor of retaining the present supposed "dead line" and agreeing not to sell their holdings. Several persons who are not in favor of turning this section over to the negroes, are circulating the agreement and it is being numerously signed There can be no lawful objection to white people refusing to sell real estate to colored people. If a white man owns property, it is for him to say whether he will sell it or not and to whom he shall sell it. After it has been transferred to another person then that person has the same right to say to whom he will or will not sell it. All "dead lines" established in this manner will necessarily be respected, but when a man says that he will use a shotgun or dynamite against a lawful purchaser of property, then he becomes a law breaker. We are certainly pleased to know that a sane, conservative lawful policy has superceded the wild outbursts of passion which have reverberated from one section of this country to the other and which has done much to injure the reputation and good name of this enterprising city of Virginia. It is now evident that If Dr Booker T Washington intends to surrender his political influence and prestige at Washington, his friends are determined to continue the struggle. But we have no evidence or intimidation that he intends to do anything of the kind. Dr Washington does not notice the attacks made upon him and in this he is wise. When he is fairly and squarely confronted by some person of influence and asked concerning them, he always has an evasive answer to give or is prepared to discuss some phase of the educational question. Just now, the anti Booker T. Washingtonites have scored heavily and they are following up their advantage by removing the Philadelphia Odd Fellows Journal to Washington, under the direct influence and guidance of that "prince" of political manipulators. Hon Henry Lincoln Johnson The band is already beginning to play and a "Kilkenny cat" discord is now heard from Editor Wm Calvin Chase, once an ardent anti-Booker T. Washingtonite, but now a devotee of that great leader. Everybody knows that Editor Chase likes nothing better than a figm. He is in his glory when he can be commissioned to "go after the enemy" The idea of having another colored journal in the District may not be altogether palatable either, but anyway, Editor Chase has this to say about the matter. Some few months ago several bishops and two other distinguished colored Americans assured President Taft that he could take all the offices from the Southern colored Americans and appoint ex-Conferendae Democrats to them, and they would see that the colored voters throughout the country would stand for it. As a guarantee of this assurance Nov. 8, 1810, nine-tenths of the colored voters in this country repudiated this now Southern propagandist. Now here comes another Richmond in the fold in the person of our young and distinguished friend, Recorder H. Lincoln Johnson, from Atlanta, Ga. He, in company with Mr. Edward H. Morris, of Chicago, who, by the way, is a supporter of the Hon. Wm. Jennings Bryan, tells the President that the entire Odd Fellow fraternity, which numbers almost three hundred thousand, will support him for President in 1812. Just when Mr. Johnson got the assurance of all these Odd Fellows, that they indorse Mr. Taft's Southern policy, and that they will support him, The Bee would like to know. Whether the three hundred thousand or more Odd Fellows appointed Mr. Johnson and Mr. Morris special envoyes to President Taft? The Bee has the highest respect for Mr. Johnson, but it must say that he is going little too far. Mr. Morris, being for Mr. Bryan, he must have assured the President TWO that the Negro Bryan Democrats are for him also. The Negro is a peculiar being. If there was a Negro graveyard association whose business is to bury the dead, and Mr. Johnson was president and Mr. Morris chief grave digger, he no doubt would assume the President the city of the dead over which they had supervision would vote for the President in 1912. Why didn't Messrs. Morris and Johnson include the entire colored press? They had similar authority. When a benevolent association is turned into a political bunco trap, it is about time to disband it. Mr. Morris, who denounced the Business League as being in politics, turns the entire Odd Fellows into a political auxiliary to the Republican party. Where is the consistency? We are not reproducing its editorial upon the officals of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, for the reason that much of it appears to us to be libellous, unless the pugnacious editor has facts and figures to back up his contentions and he has not taken either his fellow-journalists or the public into his confidence in this matter. We are sat iself, though. Collector Whitefield McKinlay, Register of the Treasury, J. C. Nupler and other Booker T. Washington officeholders read that issue of the Washington Bee with evident satisfaction. President Wm. H Taft has the two wings of Negro contention, practically, under one roof, and if he can call them together in a conference and bring harmony of action in their future efforts, he will have gone a long way towards solidifying the colored vote for himself and that portion of the Republican party, which he represents. The way the matter now stands, when the President names one colored man for office, all of the colored leaders on the other side set up a cry that he has made a mistake, and if he names the man the other fellows want he has a similar cry from the other side The officeseekers are now doing the race more harm than good. We shall watch with interest the editorial policy of the Old Fellows Journal, a publication which cannot consistently be carried into the political arena, being the organ of a secret society organization. If political subjects can be kept out of its columns, while it is being published in Washington, the Central City for all political action, then indeed the millennium is at hand. By the way, Hon Henry Lincoln Johnson is a "worn" political preposition and it does look as though he will go to the front as the leading colored man in the political equation. It looks to us as if he has already obtained the ear of the distinguished occupant of the White House, and that one word from him now goes further than two words from the distinguished founder and saviour of Tuskogee Institute, Alabama. Will somebody convince us that we are mistaken in our conclusions? Exvolution of the Angle. Apples are new in the economy of the world's use and taste. At the beginning of the last century few varieties were known, and we can go back in history to a time when all apples were little, sour and puckery—crab apples and nothing else. The crab apple was and is in its wildness nothing but a rosebush. Away back in time the wild rose with its pretty blossoms that turn to little red balls, apple flavored, and the thorny crab had the same grandmother Cursive Error The Rev Dr. Richard Everett Hale told how a curious error crept into the translation of the Lord's Prayer into the Delaware Indian language. The English translator led as an assistant an Indian who knew English "What is 'hallow' in Delaware?" asked the translator. The Indian thought he said "hallow" and gave him the equivalent. Therefore the Delaware version of the Lord's Prayer reads "Our Father, who art in heaven, Lallowed be thy name." A.

The Code of Hammurabi The so called "code of Hammurabi" was brought to light during the excavations on the site of Babylon and is looked upon as being one of the very oldest if not the oldest of all known records. It is believed to be at least 1,000 years older than the Mosaic law. King Hammurabi reigned over Babylon about the year 2200 B. C., and the laws he inscribed on the clay tablets for the most part no doubt long abdicate that time. The Mosaic law is supposed to have been given to Israel about 2200 B. C., and it would appear, therefore, that the Hammurabi code has the much greater antiquity—New York American. Witness My Hand In the early days only a few scholars knew how to write. It was then customary to sign a document by smearing the hand with ink and impressing it upon the paper, accompanied by the words, "Witness my hand." Afterward the seal was introduced as a substitute for the hand mark and was used with the words above quoted, the two forming the signature. This is the origin of the expression as used in modern documents. The Nearest "He Ever Dame to it." "Colonel," she asked, "have you ever been up in a balloon?"

Upholstery Trimmings, Whisk Broom Holders, Etc. to Beautify the Home—Bags For Daily Shopping Use. It is surprising what a host of pretty and useful articles can come from the application of ingenious fingers to a goodly supply of stout cord and raffia. Merely knotting and binding, with a little crochet stitch, will produce any number of household conveniences. Take the shopping bag shown in the illustration. This is nothing but colored cord the thickness of a shoestring double knotted in diagonal rows. The work is done with a large needle, and the stitch is something like that used in renaissance work, or the knot may Jellyfish simply be doubled by the fingers, working over a pencil held as support and then withdrawn. The deep fringe is merely the cord raveled all its length. The draw string is also of cord. These bags may be made as large or as small as desired and may serve every purpose from coin purse to laundry bag. When skill has been gained by experience two colors may be so combined as to form a check or plaid effect. A whisk holder can also be made of raffia. In fact, the whisk itself can be made of this material. Make the handle of crocheted cord, giving the appearance of a buttonhole edge. This same stitch may be used to replace slot rings on the ends of shaded cord, attaching the cord to the shade and working over a brass ring. The handle of the holder is of thinner cord of two colors skinned as the old fashioned zophyr reins were knitted, and the loops at each end are of thin rope or of twisted raffia. The holder itself is simply a raffia ring, the raffia being wound over cardboard like a napkin ring. How fringe for upholstery may be made is shown in the lower picture. The pencil is again brought-to-play, the knots being made over it before it is removed. This time the knots are single ones, giving a hammock effect. 4 Indeed, this is the hammock-wave and may be so applied. The fringing at the edge is only half raveled, and the top loops are gained by the wooden yoke which holds the whole fringe. Any number of other articles may be made on this same general principle. The crocheted cord makes picture frames and penwiper, the knotted cord children's horse reins and pen and pencil and toothbrush holders, the raffa penwipers and blotter tops and chains for holding back lace curtains. Scrap baskets are made entirely of the caning in two shades of straw and the variations produced by combination of material and method are endless. All these things can be made by children—in fact, it is part of their school work in some schools for manual training—and so there is no reason why any girl or woman should not learn to do them also. In a cottage room which boasts of rag rugs and cretonne hangings these knotted and corded accessories lend a final home-spun touch to the surroundings. If you are looking for harmony and appropriateness, here is a chance to show that you can fit the "trimmings" to the background.

Proceed in this manner. Sketch or stamp the design on the material and delineate it with colors prepared on the palette and used as they come from the tubes, with cure to add a few drops of turpentine whenever plush or velvet is the foundation chosen. Fill the hollow of the pen with paint, wipe off the back and proceed to define the salient features of the birds—for instance, drawing the pen toward you with flus, even strokes so as to cause the nib to spread and form the feather stroke, which is characteristic of the method. Hold the pen with the hollow side upward, placed firmly on the material, and draw with light yet firm touches. Should the pen turn over and form blots do not attempt to take it up, but draw the pen through it as if painting until it is removed. A small brush is convenient to lay the colors on the bills and a strong, fine pen on the claws. A still finer brush, held almost straight up and down, is indispensable for marking the eyes. A coarse pen or fine brush is useful for the leaves and branches. When working leaves with the pen the strokes should be made to represent stitches. Cover the outlines, draw the pen toward the center exactly in the same direction as the stitches would be made with the needle. To hasten the painting very large leaves are filled with a coat of color inside of the outlines with a brush, and on this streaks are made by scratching over the colored layer with a pen. On smaller surfaces a needle is needed to produce the desired roughhed effect. When once the snack is obtained the process offers no difficulty and answers very well for birds, flowers, fruit and foliage. One important rule is to allow the work plenty of time to dry to prevent any cracking, since the paint, being necessarily laid on thickly, is apt to form little rolls, which crack if touched up while damp. CRETONNE FURNITURE SLIPS. Attractive One Made of Bright Colors Will Make Chairs and Couches Look Like New. Few women realize how pretty and practical are furniture covers made from cretonne and other figured material or more housewives, would make use of such alips in renovating old and worn furniture. Incidentally these modern "alips" can be made by a woman who has had any experience in cutting patterns. Models for chair covers, etc. can be best made by cutting a design from three cent camcric and fitting it anglly with pins to the furniture. When the exact dimensions of each piece are complete in cambric these trial alips must be unpinned and laid on the material from which the alips are to be constructed. It is not necessary to bind the seams in these alps. Indeed, in a figured fabric the effect of such seams is undesirable. On plain dun colored fabrics life is introduced by the use of red or blue braid on the seams. With figured goods French seaming is best. It makes a firm and neat finish and oblates the use of another color. In slip covers the frame of the furniture is hidden by the material. They are precisely what they are called—"slips"—which easily can be taken off and put on. They must always be large enough to allow for shrinkage when first washed. Bapted Water When washing blouses, fine hand-kerchiefs, lice volls, tles, etc., put a small lump of orris root in the rinsing water. This imparts a delicate violet scent to them, much more preeminent than any that can be achieved by a sachet. To Preserve Leather To soften boots and shoes rub castor oil thoroughly into the leather.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY Many people who suppose that they have heart trouble should take steps to discover whether it is the heart that needs attention and care. Nine-tenths of the so called heart troubles are due to the bad condition of the liver and stomach. Moderate exercise means an increased appetite for nutritious food, improved digestion, and little by little, in proportion to the exercise taken, new and better tissue will be formed. For the first thing in the morning only light exercise should be taken, just enough to quicken the circulation. This should be taken before, not after, the morning bath. Any lack of symmetrical beauty in the body may be remedied by judicial exercise for the development of all undeveloped parts. These exercises should be made judiciously under the advice of a physician or physical director. His scripses. "Why do you suppose he got married and died of the spice?" "He probably doesn't believe in church lotteries." - Houston Post. Social Function in the Pan. "Are there social divertissements for his convict?" SATURDAY, FEB. 1911 Editor Mitchell's Long Then the guide proceeded to lectures He told of the principles of Mormonism, and he invited any of the visitors to ask questions. We asked questions, and soon found out that we were the only questioner. Then we went to the graveled walk on the outside. We were told, too, that the Mormons could pass from one building to the other under ground. ALL CAN PREACH. We were told, too, that the Mormons have no preachers or ministers. Every Mormon is supposed to be qualified for this service. There are about 12 olders. Young men go out as missionaries for the Church. They receive no compensation and they owe it a great honor-to be of service to the Church. In many instances their parents provide them with the necessary means, but they are supposed to work their way and earn their subsistence among the people where they labor. When they return after five years' service they are provided for by the Church. This story was told in plain tense language by the guide, who was one of the elders of the Church. Every Mormon gives a tenth part of all he earns to the Church. This is the way the Church is supported. There are many, explained the Elder; who cannot pay anything. THAT MORMON TEMPLE. We now stood by the side of the magnificent Temple, which is not now open to the public. Explanations were made of the signs and symbols on the outside. Again, the visitors were invited to ask questions, and they naturally spoke of plural marriages. The Elder explained that no longer were plurals used in questioning, though seemed to umbrare him somewhat and he was evidently tired of answering questions. SOME OF ITS DIMENSIONS The Temple is 188 1-2 feet long by 90 feet wide. Its greatest height is 222 feet. The foundation walls are 16 feet wide. They are 8 feet deep. Above the ground they vary in thickness from 9 to 6 feet. The stone in the building was hauled from rock quarries by oysters, and moved to the site 49 miles. It sometimes took 4 yoke of oxen to haul one stone. BAPTIZE BY IMMERSION The building cost four million dollars. The Elder told us too that in the Temple they baptize living people for the dead ones. That is, a man would be baptized for his son, who was dead, and vice-versa. All baptism is performed by immersion. Inside, of the Temple is a font, support structures, following extract from one of the Mormon publications will prove to be of interest, inasmuch as it relates to marriages: MARRIAQES. Recurring to our guide's statement that marriages were performed in the Temple a lady in the party was a common marriage are recognized there. "No," was the answer; "unfortunately hot quite all of our young people have that standing in the Church which will entitle them to go into our Temples, but a large majority of them are married in this or in one of the three other such buildings that we have in other parts of fish. There is a difference, however, between marriages solenized in our Temple and those performed elsewhere. The same power which Christ gave to His apostles, saying, "Whatsoever ye shall seal on earth shall be sealed in heaven and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven," is hold in our Church today, and marriages performed by that authority are blinded for all eternity. Thus we believe that the family ties that we form in this life, and which are so dear to us, will be perpetuated beyond the grave. Those sealing ordinances are performed in our Temples, and we roar them among the most sacred ceremonies of our Church. Those of our people who are married outside our Temples are married for this life only." DIVORCES THERE. TOO. "Are there any divorces in your Church?" asked the newspaper man. "Of course," was the reply, "the same power which makes the bond may also loose it; but it is only upon the gravest grounds that church divorces are granted, and they are exceedingly rare." "Who determines who may go into your Temples?" asked the clergyman. The guide then explained that the Mormon Church is divided into small districts called wards, each of which is presided over by three man, a bishop and his two counselors. These bishops are expected to be acquainted with, all the members of their parish, and it is from them that recommendations are obtained, certifying worstiness, to enter, the Temple. There are about 25 of these ecclesiastical wards in Salt Lake City, and about 600 in the whole Mormon Church. In each ward they have a meeting house or chapel where Sunday Schools are held Sunday mornings, also services Sunday evenings, and a week of the Quorum of the Priesthood and of the various auxiliary organizations mentioned by our guide in the Taboracle. HOUSE-TO-HOUSE VISITS. In this connection it was explained that in each of these wards the bishop has laboring under him a corps of "teachers," whose duty it is to visit every member in their respective districts once a month and thus share with the presiding authority the responsibility of instructing all members in their spiritual duties and exhorting them to faithfulness. These monthly house-to-house visits unlist the services of an army of church workers. Also as these "teachers" make their visits, they are expected to take cognizance of the temporal needs of the people, and if any are found to be poor and in need of relief this fact is reported to the bishop of the ward and that the people are supplied from funds in his keep. All of this for charity is in addition to the Woman's Relief Society organization in each ward, described by our guide in the Tubernacle. The Mormon, as our scientist remarked, have certainly solved for themselves the very grave social problems of poor relief. Their system avoids the evils and dangers of promiscuous distribution of charity. SHOULD HAVE MORE THAN ONE WIFE. It may be well to state that the Mormons believe in polygamy—that is, they believe that a man has the right to have as many wives as no desires. They observe, the Old Dispensation and follow in the footsteps of the Israelites and other nations of the Old World. It was only when the passage of the Edmunds Act forced them to forego these bounties to them as that took place, and yet many of them openly violated the law and many of them voluntarily pleaded guilty and served long sentences in the Federal prisons for having many wives, and then they came out and lived with their wives again. A VIRGINIA MORMON. It was in the midst of such scenes as these that we found ourselves. Our guide became deeply interested in us, when we gave him a booklet of the Mechanics' Savings Bank and told him that we were from Virginia. He was delighted. He took our card and gave us one of his own. When we passed out of the gate we looked back and saw him showing the booklet to a group of white people, and his face was wreathed in smiles. He told us, too, that his father came from Tazowell county, Va. We took an automobile ride and we were shown the home of Brigham Young and the house in which he lived with his favorite wife, and then they showed us the houses in which his other wives lived. Each wife had her own house. Some of them are alive and well today. Then they showed us the houses of the wives of other Mormons. TRYING TIMES FOR A POLYGAMIST. We wondered, too, if these Mormons had the same kind of wives that man had in the section of the country in which we lived. There many have the time of their lives in getting on with one wife. What would they do with three or four wives of the same spirit and temporament? Surely God must have been with them in order to keep down, jealous between Wife No. 1 and Wife No. 2, 3 and 4. But these people have prospered. There are many fine mansions in Salt Lake City and the wives are still maintained there. Attorney Marsh said that colored women were needed in that city for wives. "Send us some colored girls out here," he said. He is a bachelor. They told us, too, that there are some frightfully deformed children among the Mormons, although we saw no evidence of this. The men were fine looking, and the earnestness shown demonstrated the determination of the people. JACK JOHNSON'S PRÉDICAMENT Speaking of race discrimination later, Attorney Marsh told us that there was much race prejudice there. He had a suit enclosed now as the representative of Jack Johnson and against the Orpheum Hotel. It seems that when Jack Johnson wont to Salt Lake City he went to the Orpheum Hotel. The clerk permitted him and his wife to register. Mrs. Jack Johnson is a mulatto of the most pronounced type, and cannot be distinguished from a white woman. Jack Johnson wont with her, up to her room, and then he went out again. When he returned the clerk would not permit him to go up to his room. When questioned about it, the clerk said that he thought Mrs. Johnson was a white woman and that Jack Johnson was her valet. He had no idea that she was his wife. WIYES BURIED WITH HIM. Jack Johnson had to seek quarters elsewhere. On this he brought suit against the hotel company, and it is still pending. During our drive we saw the tomb of Brigham Young, the founder of Salt Lake City, and the designer of the famous tabernacle. His wives, or several of them, are buried with him. We saw the monument to Brigham Young. On the tablet was the inscription that he reached that site July 24, 1837, with 147 men, 3 women, 3 children, one boat 70 men, one boat 60 men, 36 oxen, 19 cows. The Temple was commenced April 6, 1853, and completed April 6, 1893. Standing on the outside, gazing up at the massive structure, we read those words: "Holiness to the Lord—The House of the Lord: Built by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints." TRYING TO DISPOSSESS THEM We had heard of the Mormons since childhood, but we never expect to stand within the confines of the grounds of their Temple. They had grown, wealthy and influential, and the Church was all powerful. Some Mormons had split off from the Church, and for an hour we listened to a man's oration from an automobile, discoursing upon the doctrines of Mormonism. We saw, too, here an effort being made to wrest from those who now remained loyal the political power which they now possessed and to turn over to others the vast resources and accumulations of this truly remarkable people. We visited the Salt Palace, which had previously been destroyed by fire. Later we reached our starting point and were demounted, deeply meditating, for with the night would come an address by ourselves to a Salt Lake audience. But these were not all of the surprising scenes for us in Salt Lake City. WHITE "HOPES" NEEDED. W. W. Naughton, in N. Y. American, "Lest we forget." A good deal has been written and said lately about "hopes" of the white race in the pugilistic line. It all comes of the overwhelming desire to locate a pale face capable of subduing one Jack Johnson, and it almost looks as though those who wish to see the supremacy in fistlecuffs restored to the Caucasian race are overlooking the fact that Johnson is not by any means the only dark sheep in the fighting fold. There are enough colored heavyweights in sight to tour the country as a Georgia minister show if boxing should fall into disfavor. * In addition to Johnson we have the two Sams—Langford and McVey—Joe Jeannette, and the new man, flank Griffin. And that looks like a royal spad flush. Of this bunch, of course, Johnson is best. For second choice Sam Langford would probably receive the popular vote, although from the way the light-heavy, Hank Griffin, is coming on, it looks as though Sam has a formidable rival for the distinction of the next best in the colored philanthus. Sam McVoy is big and muscular, and when he left these hospitable shores he was not regarded as the possessor of any particular degree of class. He has, however, gained a world of experience and the confidence which is born of experience by years of milling in Paris. It stands to reason that he must have learned to crack for any of the budding hopes of the white race. LANGFORD RANKS SECOND. Joe Jeannette, who is a much lighter man than McVey, once beasted big Sam in a contest in Paris, and as Jeannette has been defeated a couple of times since then by Sam Langford, there is justification for classing Langford higher than other McVey or Jeannette. When bill is said, the colored heavies present a big front, and if they were to form a union for the championship of presenting the championship of the Negro race, to our of "hopes" would admit that the task of recapturing the title is not quite so easy as it might at first appear. A glance at the pugilistic brand of "hopos," as it is at present doesn't warrant the belief that a white man is to stand for the champion in the very near future. With Tommy Burns doubtful as to his ability to take up the game again, Al Kaufman is the one on whom the sporting public places the most reliance. Al, however, has not displayed any symptoms of world-beating capacity after six years of professional fighting. He is big, brave, and bony, but as a boxer he is anything but brisk. We could get a better line on him probably if his long-threatened match with Sigm Langlford could be brought to a head and carried through. BURNS ANXIOUS TO FIGHT. Tommy Burns is anxious to take up the activities of the ring again, but he is the proprietor of a game kno, and is not sure whether his crippled leg will stand training. Burns was always a conscientious worker, and by the same token a capable fighter, and if he decides it is safe to go ahead with his plans for re-entering the ring, he will probably prove he can hold his own with any of the other whites who have do. It may be, though, that Burns will never be quite as good as he was before he lost the title to Johnson. After that affair he fell into flesh, and it is a notorious fact that very few ring men have over got back to their original form after taking off the weight that accustomates during a long period of idleness. The main purpose of this article is to show that as the fighting situation stands there is need for every white man's hope that can be located. Comparisons between the white and the black will make it apparent that dusky skinned heavyweights at present before the public are not inferior to the whites. SLAYER OF HARRIS After detectives and police had been searching for him through the night and half the day, Loroy Henderson, colored, of 931 N. Thirty-third Street, was arrested yesterday by Detective-Sergeants Wiley and Kellam and Acting Detective Atkinson on a charge of murdering Henry Harris, colored, who was stabbed to death Saturday night within a few yards of his home, 4 Hague Street, Henderson find the scene immediately after the killing, and was at last located in a boat anchored near the Richmond Cedar Works. The detectives had procured information that Henderson had been lurking in that neighborhood, and they searched several boats before they got the right one. Henderson had locked himself in, and was entled in a boat, fast sleep when one of the detectives peeled in through the window. He was ordered to come out, and told the officers to come on the other side. But they wore them cautious for that, and under the threat of a gun, he got up and opened the door. He was shaking with fear, and came near the cellar. He was taken to the First Station, where, obstructed with the detractives, he confessed that they had the right man. He gave them a detailed account of the killing, saying that Harris had threatened him with a razor, and was in the act of cutting him when he drew his own knife in self-defense. Harris was stabbed through the heart. He walked twenty yards to his doorway, where he fell dead.—Times-Dispatch. Jan. 30, 1911. The Dog Question in Nazareth. Among many incidents of his wandering through Palestine, recounted by Harry Frank in the Century, is this: "An American who was in Nazareth long ago" said a native, "told me a strange story. I did not believe him, for it cannot be true. He said that in American people buy dogs." And the mere suggestion of so indulgent a transaction sent the assembled group into perverse of laughter. "They do," I replied. The pompous ex-major fell into such convulsions of merriment that his round face grew the color of bursalized copper. "Buy dogs?" roared his sons in a chorus of several languages. "But what for?" Never having settled that question entirely to my own satisfaction, I parled it with another. "How do you get a dog if you want one?" "W:w:w:why?" answered the eldest son, wiping the tears from his eyes, "If any one wants a dog he tells some one else and they give him one. But whoever wants a dog?" The Widow Was Comforted. The WINDOW is Comforted. "That she could be willing for construction with some will put upon certain passages of Scripture," remarked a clergyman. "I remember the story of one clergyman who went to call on a woman whose husband had recently died. He had expected, quite naturally, to find her heartbroken with the burden of her sorrow and was greatly surprised when she greeted him with a very happy smile and unshered him into the parlor. "And what was the verse, sister? required the clergyman. "I don't remember just where to find it, replied the widow, but it was made up of—only four words—four helpful words—"Why need I care?" Eskimo Courtship If European death suppresses astonish, the consulting "Wet" of a bride at marriage shocks an Eskimo woman. Not only must a bride show herself unconcerning; she must: If she represents herself and tribal traditions, scream and struggle with all her might, when her wooer or his envoy enters her family residence and, laying hold upon her, drags her, usually by the topknock, to her new home. She may be presented with a new lamp and water pail by her bridegroom, and she is as a general thing mightly pleased at her change of estate. But she is far too circumspect to show her pleasure or affection and keeps up a noisy demonstration until she feels that she has done all that a well bred maid should do. If she does not exercise proper discrimination in this matter her lord sometimes scratches the soles of her feet so that she cannot run away to her parents. - Harper's Bazar. Turner's Little Afterthought Turner's Little Afterthought An English critic's reference to Turner's fine picture "The Wreck Boy" reminds a faithful, newspaper reader of a curious anecdote. in"connection with it. When Turner first sent this picture to the Royal academy it was hung among several brilliantly colored pictures. On varnishing day Turner found the effect of the dull gray rendering of a stormy sea altogether spoiled by its bright surroundings. Without a moment's hesitation he painted in the lighted buoy in the foreground, and its dab of crimson light showed so brilliantly in its gloomy setting that Turner's picture became the prominent one, and its rivals on each side were cast into the shade. It is curious, if true, that the most noticeable feature of the picture should have been an afterthought.—Boston" Tran script. The Shrewd Banker Thirteen years ago a banker lent a farmer $1,000 with which to buy stock. The farmer, of course, gave his note. The borrower lost on the stock deal and had hard luck generally, so he couldn't pay the note. Later he went away, and after many years he made good again and returned. The banker tried to collect his note, but it was outlawed by a lapse of thirteen years. One day the banker stopped at the man's farm and admitted his fine pumpkins. The farmer made him a present of two large ones. "I'll just credit these pumpkins on your old note," the banker said. "All right," the farmer said. That revived the obligation. The banker brought suit and recovered in full for the note and interest. -Kansas City Star. Life's Limite.

New Jersey Electra Martine. New Jersey Elects Martine. James E. Martine, of Plainfield, was elected as the United States senator in joint session of the New Jersey legislature to succeed Senator John Kean. Martine received 47 of the 61 Democratic votes, or six more than a majority of the two houses. Three votes were cast for ex-Senator Smith and one of the Democratic members did not vote. Ex-Governor Stokes received a majority of the Republican votes, 21 out of 30 being cast for him. Seven of the ten members who voted for Smith took advantage of his releasing them and voted for Martine. The three who remained loyal to Smith were Assemblymen McGowan, Phillips and Shalvey, all of Essex, Smith's home county. Bschank Jury Disagreea Unable to agree on a verdict, the jury in the case of Mrs. Laura Farnsworth Schenk, tried on a charge of poisoning her husband, John O. Schenk, was discharged by Judge Jordan at Wheeling, W. Va. The case will now be redocked and retried at the next term of court unless a continuance is asked. Five minutes before the jury was called into the courtroom the attorneys for both the gate and defense petitioned the court for the discharge of the jury. As soon as the jury was discharged it was announced that they had stood eleven for acquittal and one for conviction on almost every ballot taken. It was not possible to learn the number of ballots taken. Mine Workers Elect New President. According to the report of the toilers which was submitted to the international convention of the United Mine Workers of America at Columbus, Ohio, John P White, of Oskaloosa, Ia., was elected international president by a majority of 26,743 Thomas L. Lewis, the present international president, who was defeated, received 72,190 votes. Frank Hayes, of Springfield, Ill., was elected vice president over B.

His resignation was accepted, to take effect Friday. This action was taken with the approval of President Taft and was announced by Secretary Meyer after the cabinet meeting. His resignation will completely separate him from the naval service and he will draw no pay from the government. Admiral Berry's resignation follows charges of a sensational nature preferred against him by officers of his fleet. They affected his personal habits and were unprintable in detail.

To see a horse when out at pasture rolling on the ground and encasinging to turn over on his back is a common sight, but how many people have noticed that in doing this he observes an invariable rule? The rule is that he always rolls over either at the first of third attempt—never at the second—and more than three attempts are never made. In other words, if the horse succeeds in rolling over at the first try, well and good—that satisfies him. But if the first attempt is a failure the second one always is. Then he either rolls quite over at the third or gives it up. He never makes a fourth. If horses are rolling on sloping ground they usually roll uphill. This is more easy of explanation than the strange custom regulating the number of attempts. As to this no adequate reason has ever been offered. Will those ingenious people who tell us a dog turns around before lying down and why ducks walk behind each other in a airing instead of abreast explain why a horse never makes four attempts to roll over and never succeeds at the second?-Exchange. Dlamages of Fear: If you are afflicted with an unreasonable fear of anything do not waste time being ashamed of yourself; hurry at once to a doctor, advises a writer in Success Magazine. A writer in the Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette has compiled a list of fear diseases from which it appears that everything, from screaming at mice to being afraid to go home in the dark, is a well recognized mental ailment. The tramp is in reality a sufferer from erophobia, or fear of work, often, complicated with aquaphobia, which make him shun the bathtub. Sidophobia and astrophobia cause timid ladies to go into the closet when they thunders and lightens. Any number of people have cat and dog phobias. Phantophobia is what you would have if you were afraid of your shadow, while an all around unqualified coward might be called a phantophobia. The list is long and includes every human weakness except the actress' horror of publicity. A. Useful Past. Despite the fact that the spider, next to the mouse, is most violently stimulating to feminine sensitivity, it is an insect of a very good character. It feeds exclusively upon other freshly killed insects and they are the kinds denounced by sanitary authorities, the housefly being its favorite quarry. Its service in reducing the numbers of this pest is considerable, because the spider is always busy, and he is present in countless numbers, says Leslie's Weekly. The reason why he is not more frequently seen is that he is retiring in his habits and abuns human society quite as much as that abuns him. He seldom bites anything but food, and even when in self defense he does assert himself the result is no worse than a mosquito bite or a bee sting. The touching story of "The Spider and the Fly" was evidently intended to invite sympathy for the fly. Buttered Side Up One of the stories which Lyle Hutchins, the old time clockmaker of Concord, N. H., delighted to tell related to the youth of Daniel Webster. "One day," said the old man, "while I was taking breakfast at the tavern kept by Daniel's father, Daniel and his brother Ezekiel, who were little boys with dirty faces and snarly hair, came to the table and asked me for bread and butter. I compiled with their request, little thinking that they would become very distinguished men. Daniel dropped his piece of bread on the sandy floor, and the buttered side, of course, was down. He looked at it a moment, then picked it up and showed it to me, saying: "What a pity! Please give me a piece of bread butter on both sides; then if I let it fall one of the buttered sides will be up." Comets of the Past Century Comets of the Past Century. During the pluenteenth century 235 now comets were discovered as against sixty-two in the eighteenth century. The pluenteenth century also beheld a greater number of large and brilliant comets than did its predecessor. The finest of these were the comets of 1811, 1843, 1858, 1881 and 1882. In the year 1800 only one 'periodical comet was known, Halley's. Now many are known, of which at least seventeen have been seen at more than one return to perihelion. Alabama's Capitals. When Alabama was a territory its capital was at St. Stephens, in Washington county. The convention that framed the constitution under which it was admitted into the Union was held in Jihaville, where the first legislature met in October, 1819, and the first governor was inaugurated. Cahaba became the seat of government in 1820. In 1825 the capital was removed to Tuscaloosa, and in 1841 it was again removed, this time to Montgomery. Didn't Want to See Much. "What are you wearing that monocle for?" asked the theatrical manager. "You paid to see the show?" "Yes," replied the young man, "but I can see all I want of this show with the monocle." Yonkers Statesman. A Touch of Nature He was the worst boy in school; she was the teacher. She was angered by his stubbornness; he was defiant. She took him to the ball for punishment. Angrily she administered the penalty, and then somehow a great wave of pigs, for the boy swept over her. She looked at the worn coat of the little fellow. She thought of the frail body deprived of nourishing food. She thought of the hard and loveless home and of the starved soul of the poor kid. Tears sprang to the teacher's eyes as the boy wailed for further punishment. Then he saw the tears. His own eyes grew moist and overflowed. Thinking of how the poor boy had no chance, in an impulse of love she put her arms around the boy, and they cried together. That is religion. She and the boy both found it—Merrill (Kai) News.

WAS STRICKEN IN HOTEL His Family Was Summoned, But He Died Before They Arrived—Was Secretary of Navy Under President Roosevelt. Paul Morton, president of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, was stricken with apoplexy just after he had gone to the Hotel Seymour, in New York, for the purpose, his friends said, of keeping an appointment with Paul L. Kierman, the lawyer. Mr. Morton died an hour and a half later in an apartment just vacated by Mr. Kierman earlier in the day and just a few minutes before his wife and brother, Joy Morton, of Chicago, reached the house. Coroner Feinberg, who is a physician, and Coroner's Physician O'Hanlon agreed after they had examined Mr. Morton's body and had talked with Joy Morton concerning his brother's condition that death was caused by apoplexy due to a rupture of a blood vessel in the brain, which resulted from arterio-sclerosis, from which Mr. Morton was found to be suffering within the past month. It was explained that a hotel maid had noticed Mr. Morton apparently in a faint in the hallway outside of suite 55, on the fifth floor. This suite had been vacated by Mr. Klennan and he had moved to a larger suite. The maid notified the telephone operator, and the manager of the hotel rushed up to the fifth floor. He helped the maid to assist Mr. Morton into the vacant suite. Word was sent for Dr. Henry Pearson. When Dr. Pearson reached Mr. Morton's bedside he was unconscious, and it was apparent to Dr. Pearson that he had suffered a stroke of apoptosis. Then word was telephoned to Mr. Morton's house and to the Metropolitan club. Mrs. Morton was informed over the phone that her husband had fainted at the Seymour, and was asked to come to the hotel at once, but he was dead before she arrived Paul Morton was born in Detroit, May 22, 1867, and wont to Nebraska with his parents six months later. He began his railroad career in the land department of the Burlington road in Iowa. In May, 1873, he was employed in the general freight office of the Burlington road at Plattsmouth, Neb., and from there he went to the general freight office in Chicago, being appointed assistant general freight agent of the Burlington in 1878 at the age of twenty-one. He occupied this and better positions in the freight service until 1886, when, at the request of the management of the Burlington, he took the position of general passenger agent From the position of general passenger agent he was selected for the general freight agency, and remained with the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy in that position until 1890, when he engaged in the coal and iron business as president of a coal company operating in Iowa and Illinois, and vice president of what is now the Colorado Fuel and Iron company. He remained with these companies until the end of 1895, when he accepted the vice presidency of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway, in charge of its commercial affairs. In 1904, largely owing to his personal friendship for President Roosevelt, he accepted the secretaryship of the navy. In doing this he sacrificed a salary of $25,000 for one of $8000. Mr. Morton was credited with possessing an independent fortune, variously estimated from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000, having made nearly $1,000,000 on the sale of the Indiana, Illinois & Iowa railroad to the Vandorbits. In deciding regarding President Roosevelt's offer, therefore, the monetary consideration did not enter into the question. In 1805 he was elected president of the Equitable Life Assurance society at a salary of $160,000 a year. Mr. Morton, in 1880, was married to Miss Charlotte Goodrich, an accomplished and popular young woman of Chicago. They had two daughters. Files to Ship and Back to Shore. Eugent D. Ely accomplished a great feat of aviation when he flew twelve miles from shore to the deck of the cruiser Pennsylvania, anchored in San Francisco bay, made a perfect landing on the warship, and after timing about his machine, launched it in the air again and flew back to the starting point. The double flight occupied only an hour and a half. The greater part of that time was contained on the cruiser in preparing for the return flight. Ely, who is a native son and one of the Curtles school of aviators, took the air from Saliridge Field where the Thirtieth Infantry was occupied for the occasion. He got off without a kick and sped the distance of twelve miles across the bay in almost nine miles. Ely's machine broke through the mist and swept up the bay like an enormous gull, never wavering or fainting for an instant. The air was smoky and the aviator flow low, so that it was difficult to pick him up until he was a few miles away. A blast from the Pennsylvania's alron, which was taken up by a chorus of other whistles, gave the first warning of the aeroplane's approach. At brief intervals the alron shrieked. Thon as the aeroplane soared down toward the deck of the cruiser they all let go in a mighty toot. Ely flew through the cruiser squaron vory close to the water. He approached the Pennsylvania from her bows, swept past her for a few hundred yards and then circled back, mounting slowly, and settling lightly on the big platform that covered the ship's after deck and projected far out over the stern. Ely-landed so lightly that his blpiano was hardly shaken. His machine, a Curtiss, was especially prepared for the experiment. Double Murder In Barnyard. The community about Riffes Crossing, W. Va. is astounded over a murder surrounded by mystery. The bodies of J. L. Nickol, aged fifty-two years, a carpenter and contractor, and his son-in-law, Stephen Evans, aged twenty-six years, were found, riddled with bullets, in the barnyard of W. K Eades. The criefe was committed in broad daylight and within a short distance of their own home. Thirty-eight shot entered Evans' face and head. Both eyes were shot out and four shot entered the brain. Nickel was evidently running away from his assailant. His body was found about 200 yards from where he had been shucking corn. He had fallen face down, fourteen shot entering his back. There were also eleven shot wounds on his fingers and two on his elbow. Two shot entered his neck. As far as known no one witnessed the crime, but the shots were heard. W. K. Eades is under arrest. The evidence against him is circumstantial. J. L. Nickel formerly lived on the land where the shooting occurred and rented from Eades. About three months ago the house was burned down and Nickel and his son-in-law moved away. Nickel had a corn crop on the Eades farm, and Nickel and his son-in-law were shucking corn when shot. It appears that bad blood had existed between Eades and the murdered man for some time. Squawa Die to Save Bablas In order to save the lives of their babies, two Yankton Indian women, caught in a storm on the prairie at night near Roeeland, Tripp county, South Dakota, stripped off their blankets and wrapped the little ones in them, and then crooned them to sleep, while they themselves were frozen to death. The women, with their husbands, were driving across the country when their wagon broke down. The men went to town for help. When they returned with a rescue party one of the women was dead from the cold and the other died in a short time. Both Indian babies were unharmed. $10,000,000 More From Carnegie. Andrew Carnegie has announced in New York city an additional gift of $10,000,000 to the Carnegie institution at Washington, making the total endowment now $25,000,000 and bringing the amount of Mr Carnegie's philanthropies close to $200,000,000. The Carnegie institution was founded in 1802 for the purpose of higher education and advanced research The original endowment was $10,000,000, to which further gifts were added, making it $15,000,000, until this gift was announced Short $74,000. The retiring state treasurer of North Dakota, G. Luther Bickford, was arrested at Blamarck on a warrant charging him with the misappropriation of a sum said to be in the neighborhood of $74,000. He was held in $10,000 bail. A second warrant was issued by Attorney General Miller and accuses Bickford with the misappropriation of $60,400 of the state's funds. This warrant was also served on Bickford. Boy of Five Kills Grandmother.

Harrisburg, Pa., was put into place and stripped of its covering and was found to be drapped with plaster of Paris.

The men in charge of the groups say that the plaster will remain unifl orders are received from Barnard or state officials to remove it. Child Witnesses Mother's Sulcile.

Mrs. Brooks, daughter, Beatrice four years old, awakening from sleep, saw her mother suspended upon the closest door. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. President of Equitable Life Society Diet Suddenly. MARCO VIVIENDA MARCO VIVIENDA Mrs. Martin Gets Seven Years. Seven years in prison was the sentence imposed upon Mrs. Caroline B. Martin for the part she played in the death of Ocey Snead, her daughter, by Judge Tone Eyck at Newark, N. J. Mrs. Martin, who had pleaded non vult to manslaughter when arraigned on an indictment charging her with murder, apparently expected a much lighter sentence and became greatly agitated when she learned her fate. The body of Ocey Snead was found in a half-filled bath tub in a partly furnished house in East Orange, N. J., Nov. 29, 1809. The indictment of Mrs. Martin, the victim's mother; Mrs. Virginia A. Wardlaw and Mrs. Mary W. Snead, Ocey's aunt and mother-in-law, for murder, followed. Mrs. Wardlaw died in jail. Mrs. Snead faces trial, but it is said that the indictment against her will be no loose扮. Coal Mining is Dangerous More than 29,000 fatal accidents occurred in the coal mines of North America in the twenty years ended with 1908, according to a report of the bureau of labor. In the decade ending with 1908 the average fatality rate in North America was 3.13 per 1000, which was higher than the fatality rate in any other important coal field in the world.

Bid Fair to Retain Their Favor For a Long Time. Gowns, Hats and Wraps For Afternoon and Evening Wear Have Elaborate Display of This Dressiest of Materials. The craze for velvet is unabated, and that it will last for quite awhile sooms to be indicated by its appearance on hats, wraps and afternoon gowns. The reason for this is, of course, easy to discern. It is to semi-dress gowns of not too severe cut that velvet—most of all black velvet—is especially adapted. It is pretty in the coats also. A model recently was a long coat of silver gray or tan velvet, with ratine sailor collar and cuffs. The coat itself was lined with ratine of the same shade. Black velvet edging makes an effective touch. Of course if this were an evening wrap it might boast a lighter selection of colors—say white velvet with rose lavender satin cuffs and collar. But it is very smart just as it is in the tan or gray and black. The hat to match was one of the very new high velvet turbans. It was trimmed only by silk braid edging on the butterfly bow. A simple rock of black velvet is a good suggestion along this line. It should be cut almost on the lines of the "robe bobe," the upper part of the blouse being of chiffon over lace, the buttons on the bib to be of dull silver. ```markdown ``` The hat should be a round clooche shape of black velvet freed with er mino and with a white chanticleer plume in back. How velvet is used in the dressy suit is best seen in the following description. Alice blue velvet is used, but a dark blue or green would really be better. Then a sailor collar of moire to match the velvet is edged with skunk fur. Turnback cuffs match the collar in effect. A dashing military hat of black velvet goes well with this, with a high alget either of paradise feathers or of fur made in the shape of a quill. The figure in our illustration has a distinct charm of its own and is a one piece frock of black velvet with a bodice of tucked black chiffon over white. The buttons are again of dull silver with frogs of silver brass. The turban is of folded black velvet trimmed with an alget in back. These hints, should be sufficient for any woman with taste to go to the velvet counter and choose such materials as will make up a modish dress and at the same time give her pleasure in making it Mary Dean Eat Ginger In the Morning. If you are inclined to feel heavy and bad tempered in the morning when you rise try taking a plier or two of preserved ginger. For some reason it seems to sweeten the temper with the digestion and makes a healthful as well as a delicious breakfast or before breakfast daltry. To Clean Enamel. When the enamel becomes discolored scour it with a damp fannel dipped in garden mold, then rinse it in plenty of water. In this way the cleaning is effected without causing scratches or other damage. CARE OF SKIN IN WINTER. Water Should Be Used Sparingly, as it Has a Drying Effect Upon Cutlure. When a woman's face is inclined to dryness in cold weather the lee she uses water on it the better for water has a drying effect and will aggravate the condition that the other agents which are cleansing may soothe and even heal. A person who is willing to take the trouble to use sweet cream daily on her face will give, the best of treatment. A tablespoonful of cream is sufficient for this bath. To every tablespoonful of cream should be put ten drops of tincture, of benzolin. This latter preserves the integrity of the cream and is an excellent application. To use this mixture a small bit of old soft linen should be saturated and the face then thoroughly wet. The throat and the flesh behind the ears should also be bathed. Then with the finger tips the surface so anointed must be rubbed gently for five minutes. This will send the cream into the pores and loosen the dust. The face must then be wet with more cream. This last wash is to remove the soiled application. Before retiring is the best time for this work. The last anointing must remain on all night. In the morning the face should be wiped with a lotion of one-eighth glycerin, the other seven parts being rosewater. The wash is intended to have just enough glycerin in it to prevent the astirring action of rosewater. Honey should be used more often than it is, for it is bleaching and softening. In conjunction with other materials its thickness is overcrowd. An excellent lotion is one made of two ounces of pure honey strained, one-half ounce each of glycerin and rectified spirits, one and one half drums of pure citric acid and three drops of musk. The honey and glycerin are put into a china cup and set into hot water to mingle. The acid is put into the spirits, and when dissolved these two mixtures are blended. This can be used both as a cream and as a cleansing agent. Care must be taken that the honey used is pure. Some of the so called "strained" is glucose and is entirely without honey. TEA GOWNS. The Characterless Fluffiness of Former Days Abandoned For More Perfect Fitting Garnments. Under the influence of the broad views that have lately been taken in matters of dress and have led to the appropriation for feminine adornment of all the forms of beauty that could possibly be adapted to that purpose the tea gown has caused to be the pretty but charmless mass of a airy fabrics it once was'. This garment, which aforestime was generally not hug more than vanity in a tangleible form has taken to itself classic simplicity and dignity. It is true that some of the new tea gowns like some of the most newest gowns for formal social funitions cannot be worn by every woman since they demand grace and a good figure. Short, stout little women will always do well to keep to the modest style, for in these they have their own peculiar charm of winnow softness, and they could never look like Greek goddesses if they tried ever so hard. One thing that has contributed to the simplicity of tea gowns as it has to that of other gowns as well is the richness of the materials used. One worn by a matron recently was of rose satin covered with gold face and trimmed at the bottom with fur. Over this robe which was absolutely simple in cut, with an empire bodice and V shaped neck, was a long, straight, sleeveless coat of green chiffon embridered with gold and bordered with green satin. Probably few would care to go in for magnificence as this, but the model is one that can be successfully developed in almost any kind of soft silken fabric, with a touch of gold trimming to give it dignity. Many tea gowns are made in a manner similar to the one that has been described, though the shape of the outer garment varies considerably. A very attractive one was seen that had an underrobe of pale silk and a funtie of very tinted tepee de chine. The tunic was just a straight piece of material with a hole in the middle for the passage of the head, but because of its softness its linen were exquisitely graceful. Two Made overa Did you know that you could make over your old t-shirt shirt waistbands for house wear in the morning? Cut out the neck at the collar band and the sleeves at the cuffs. Supply instead plain percale low collars and turnback cuffs of some contrasting color. Cut off also the skirt sections which are usually torn by plumbing and supply a belt of the percale. This belt will fasten over the skirt, thus all you will need to complete your toilet when dressing hurriedly in the morning will be a plum to hold your collar closed. Another made-over is the apron which was originally a fligere blouse. Use the front, cutting a bib of one sleeve and the ends of the other. The back will make the belt and face the lower edge. With a little ribbon run banding and a lace ruffle here is an apron you will not be ashamed to pour ten or do embroidery in. CONSISTENT. I well remember when the chill Of bleak and cold November Came on the world, and I shook through through the chill of November; I pinned for summer heat and pinned For days when I could swathe Out in the sun and not catch cold Each time I left my shelter. And now that such days have arrived And the asphalt has melted, On all the streets and all the world For full a month has swelled, Troubles of life sure for Me to rise and hike it. For some cool place and cuss the heat But not for me, I like it.

The most recent action of an eccentric man was Lord Southbury's cool arrangement for suicide by means of a guilfainte. He had a magnificent one erected in the drawing room of his house in the Rue du Luxembourg at Paris. The machine was of ebony inlaid with gold and silver, the framework carried with artistic skill; the knife, sharp as a razor, was of polished and ornamented steel. Preparing for death, his lordship had his hair cut close, and clothed in a robe of white silk, he kneed upon the platform under the knife before a mirror and pressed the spring which should release the knife. But the spring failed to work, and the sould be suicide decided to give the guilfainte to a museum instead of making a second attempt to end his life. It is said that he made an annual pilgrimage to see the guilfainte until the end of his life. How the Chinese Preserve Grapes. To preserve grapes the Chinese cut a circular piece out of a ripe pumpkin or gourd, making an aperture large enough to admit the hand. The in terior is cleaned out, the grapes placed inside and the cover replaced and pressed in firmly. The pumpkins are then put in a cool place, and the grapes retain their freshness for a long time. Careful selection of the pumpkin is requisite, the common field pumpkin, however, being well adapted for the purpose.

Among other things it was decided to hold the next meeting of the National Negro Business League at Little Rock, Arkansas August 16th, 17th and 18th 1911 Messrs Selsipo A Jones, President of the Arkansas State Negro Business League, and William Alexander, of the Local Negro Business League of Little Rock met with the Little Rock discussion of plans for the entertainment gates. The Little Rock committees are already at work and have matters well in hand for the approaching meeting. Probably the most important matter and of general interest to the public discussed was the celebration of the Fifteenth Anniversary of the freedom of the Negro people of the United States. At Louisville in 1909 a resolution was passed by the National Negro Business League providing for the holding of a National Exposition to commemorate this event. It will be recalled that at the instance of officers of the National Negro Business League bills were last year introduced in the Senate and House of Representatives of the National Congress providing for the appointment of a commission to demean ways and men and to holding such avenues. These bills were not passed at the last session of Congress because they were brought under a suspension of the rules and at a time when they required a two thirds majority, and are still pending. The Executive Committee after frankly discussing all phases of the matter unanimously came to the conclusion that in view of the short time that remains it would probably be impossible to hold a National Exposition, such as was planned, that would reflect credit upon the rage or show in any adequate way the progres which has been made by the Negro people during their freedom that was followed unanimously adopted by the Executive Committee and the suggestions contained therein are earnestly recommended to the consideration of the Negro people throughout the United States, namely NATIONAL ANNIVERSARY CELLE BRATION 1 In view of the fact that the Congress of the United States has thus far failed to make provision as suggested by President Taft in his message to Congress for a proper celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro in the United States of the further fact that should Congress now make an appropriation we fear the time would be too short to enable us to carry out a celebration in the form as first planned. Therefore, we the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League advise that the race should not await the expected action of Congress, and suggest instead of the large central exposition as first planned, that the celebration should take place in October. That the first week in October, and he known as Fiftieth Anniversary Week. 3. That instead of a Central Exposition, the Schools, Churches and all other Societies and Organizations in each community unite and co-operate for the purpose of holding a local celebration; this celebration to take the form of an exposition of the progress in commercial, professional, moral, intellectual and religious directions, made by the race in that community. 4. We suggest that where it is possible these expositions be hold in connection with existing county or State fair organizations; it will not be necessary to change the regular dates for holding such county or State fair. 5. Wherever it seems feasible, the county or the State should be made the unit of organization for the celebration instead of the local community. 6. We advise that especial effort be made to secure in addition to the physical exposition, a program of appropriate speeches and other literary features; the speakers to be as far as possible the strongest and best men that can be obtained, North and South. 7. We advise that wherever possible an effort be made to secure city, county or State aid to carry out the plans of the local committee. 8. We suggest that in case money is secured from Congress, it be apportioned among the States, to be expended under the control of the governor or some other State an authority, in proportion to the number of colored people residing in the different commonwealths. 9 We believe that the plans here outlined have several advantages over the plans previously proposed (a) First, it makes it possible to put the whole race to work in planning and preparing for the exposition and celebration suggested (b) It will enable more people to see the progress the Negro has made than would be possible if they had to travel many miles to some Central Exposition. 10 In conclusion, we strongly urge that our people begin now to plan and prepare for Fifth Anniversary, that this be made at once a means and an occasion for calling attention of the world to the immense progress the Negro race in America has made during fifty years of freedom. It is the earnest hope and desire of the Executive Committee of the National Negro Business League that the above suggestions shall be read before the various churches, lodges and other organizations, to the end of the year. The University of Freedom shall be generally observed everywhere. FROM DRAKES BRANCH, VA A Marriage in the Country.

After months of pulling and hauling by representatives of San Francisco and New Orleans, the house of representatives voted to the Pacific coast city the Panama canal exposition, to be held in 1915. First the house voted 128 to 159 to take up the resolution to invite the other nations of the world to participate in an exposition at San Francisco instead of a hill of similar tonor for New Orleans. This showed where the victory was going and, after more discussion, the resolution itself went through with a whoop. The votes in favor of it numbered 259, while only 43 votes were cast against it. Now the fight between the two cities, which has been waged ever since congress convened, will be transferred to the senate. in submitting the special rule under which the exposition was considered, Representative Daiszell, of Pennsylvania, and rules committee had been appointed to, as neither city was willing to have the other city's claims first considered. It was theroupon determined to put the issue squarely up to the house and have a roll call on which those favoring the San Francisco proposition were to answer "San Francisco" and those favoring New Orleans to answer "New Orleans." The San Francisco proposition was contained in a joint resolution which simply asked the government to recognize the exposition and invite foreign nations to participate. The New Orleans proposition was contained in a house bill making recognition by the government, an invitation to foreign nations to participate and calling for an appropriation of $1,000,000 for a government exhibit. The galleries held the greatest crowd of the session Many of the spectators were women Representative Kahn's resolution to invite foreign nations to participate in an exposition at San Francisco then came before the house It provided that the president should invite foreign nations to participate in the exposition when satisfied that $7,500,000 had been raised for the fair.

Orlain of Tory. Bir Walter Scott's explanation of the origin of "tory" as "give me" is not quite the same as that of other inquirers. According to a high authority, the word is Irish for a "pursuer" and was at first given to moss troopers, who for their own villainous purposes pretended to be on the side of the crown and the constitution and the rights of property and in that disguise haunted the bogs of Ireland, robbing the inhabitants in the name of the king. About 1030 those who "contended for the extreme prerogatives of the crown" had this contemptuous term applied to them by their opponents, and thus we arrive at the meaning of today Macaulay points out as a curious circumstance that "whig" and "tory" originally applied as a term of insult should so soon have been assumed with pride. An older circumstance is that two great English parties should have taken their titles the one from the bogs of Ireland and the other from the lowlands of Scotland—London Times. Gilbert Islands Tipple. Neither tea nor coffee is drunk in the Gilbert islands, but liquor named karafee, or toddy. It is the juice of the coconut tree, from which it is drawn daily at sunrise and sunset. To obtain it the natives climb up the tall trees and while extracting it keep up a constant yelling to let those below know that they are at work. The sap when fresh is a harmless and delicious beverage, but after it has been kept a day or two fermentation sets in and it becomes intoxicating. Karnafee does not, however, fly to the head, but a man who drinks it to excess loses the control of his legs. However, when this befalls a native he has sense enough to remain indoors and shows his face to no one, for if his chief should ever bear of it he would be tried and sentenced to hard labor and a heavy fine. In former days a native found intoxicated was tied to a tree and recovered a hundred lashes, the blood fairly streaming down his back. Besides this, all his lands were confacated to the king forever. Didn't Call Him Names Mickey's mother visited a young schoolteacher on the cast side the other day, says the New York Sun. As nearly as she could make out from the mother's splinterlings the teacher had been calling Mickey "names that no lady would use and no dacitn mother would stand for." The teacher thought hard, but could, recollect no time when she had given way to an impulse to call Mickey dreadful names. "Sure but you did," insisted the mother. "I don't know what you meant by it, but scurvy elephant is no else name to call a boy. That's what he said you called him—a scurvy elephant." "Scurvy elephant! No," said the teacher in a relieved voice; "I didn't call Mike a scurvy elephant. I called him a disturbing element, and I reiterate my statement." Mickey's mother went home partially satisfied, but not quite sure that the teacher didn't been calling her names To the Highest Bidder Evan Tobacco buyers have their troubles. One of them, who represents a New York house, met a Connecticut man who had sold his crop. The buyer was anized at the price the man said he had received. "You have been cheated," said he. "You are entitled to more money than that." "Well," replied the farmer, "nothing has been paid to bind the bargain." "Then I'll give you 6 cents more a pound and a house at $100 for the crop." "Agreed," exclaimed the farmer, and he received a check for the full amount. "Oh, by the way," observed the buyer, "who was my rival in this transaction?" He was informed. "I might have known it," said he sadly. "That man is my partner."—New York Press. Bloodhounds to Halt an Uprising. Storm swept Jamaica was in 1738 the scene of a rising of the negro plantation slaves. At first there were brushes between the soldiers of the island garrison and the insurgents, and lives were lost on both sides. Then the commander, General Walpole, behought him of having 100 dogs trained to track slaves brought from Cuba. These powerful and savage brutes, misnamed bloodhounds, were really of the mastiff tribe, says the London Chronicle. After being muzzled they were led to the position taken up by the malcontents. General Walpole sent a message to the slaves threatening to unmuzzle and unleash the animals if they did not surrender. The negroes, who had shown themselves to be by no means afraid of the bullets of the military, were now mad with terror. They threw down their arms and gave in. Remarks a contemporary historian of Jamaka. "It is pleasing to observe that not a drop of blood was spilled after the dogs arrived in the island." Finding Hie Bride In one part of the canton of Tielmo, in Switzerland, a very quiet marriage ceremony prevails. The bridegroom dresses in his "Sunday best" and, accompanied by as many friends and relatives as he can muster for the fete, goes to claim his bride. Finding the door locked, he demands admittance, the inmates ask him his business, and in reply he solicits the band of his chosen maldon. If his answer be deemed antifactory he is successively introduced to a number of matrons and maids, some perhaps deformed and others old and ugly. Then he is presented to some large dolls, all of which he rejects with scorn, amid general merriment. The bewildered bridegroom, whose impurity and temper are now surely tried, is then informed that his ladylove is absent and invited in to see for himself. He rushes into the house and searches from room to room until he finds her in her bridal dress ready to go to church. There are his troubles over and his state as a "benedict assured To Make e Glass Gutter. A glass cutter can easily be made with an ordinary mapping pen and a small piece of carborundum or carbide of silicon. Cut off a part of the nib to form a small tube. Fit a crystal or part of one of carborundum into the tube, take it out again and dip one end in cement and replace it. Next wind a piece of fine wire tightly around the tube and part of the handle and fix it in a north cut in the latter. Put it sided for a day to allow the cement to harden. A glass cutter made thus will do its work as well as the expensive diamond and a great deal better than the ordinary wheel cutter. SHEET MUSIC THE WEST COUNTY WEST COMPANY
