All Salaries but the Grand Worthy Master's Reduced. Want Rev. W. L. Taylor to Refund about Twenty Thousand Dollars. His Son Said to be Unbenefited. Order Owes One Hundred and Seventy Thousand VOLUME XXVIII, NO. 13. BAD N Storm All Salaries but Delegates to attend the special or extraordinary session of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, began arriving in this city last Monday morning. The members of the Executive Board were in session Friday and Saturday before. There were exciting times there and also in the meeting of the Richmond delegates. When Grand Worthy Master A. W. Holmes rapped the gavel at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, one of the largest sessions in point of attendance was being held by this organization. THE OPENING EXERCISES. Every one wanted to know concerning the condition of the Order. Prayer was offered by Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D. pastor of the First Baptist Church, of this city. The address or welcome was delivered by Rev. W. P. Graham, D. D. pastor of the Fifth-Street Baptist Church, and President of the American Benevolent Insurance of this city. His wife were stirring and some of this autonome were caustic. He accused the body to a point of much orthsushum and he got the delegates in a good humor. GRAND WORTHY MASTER'S RE PORT. Grand Worthy Master A. W. Holmes made his report, and it was listened to with rapt attention. He explained the difficulty in securing exact information. The Grand Fountain hat received $36,694.25. He had paid on past duo claims $12,760 before the Savings Bank, Grand Fountain, United Order of Truo Reformers went into the hands of the receivers, and $23,544 25 since that time. OWES MUCH MONEY. The total indebtedness of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, at the present time is $171,029.01 Of this amount $148,000 is on death claims. The Savings Bank has accredited assets of two hundred thousand dollars, but the amount of the remaining thing all will be realized for the Order from this source. All of the building trusts to the bank BUILDINGS HEAVILY MORTGAGED The True Reformers' Hotel on Sixth and Baker Streets, is the only property of the Grand Fountain that has not been mortgaged. The Grand Fountain owns only two pieces of property in its own right—the hall at 604 North Second Street—and there is a mortgage of over $20,000 on that—and the property of the Reformers' part is that the True Reformers' Hotel building, which is now being leased to Mr. J. P. Johnson, caught fire last Wednesday afternoon and was damaged to the amount of about $000.00. MUST NOT BORROW THE MONEY Commissioner of Insurance Joseph Button and his skilled actuary, Mr. Ike Davenport, visited the Grand Fountain at 12 o'clock last Wednesday, and in his frank, short crisp way sent cold chills down the spinal columns of the delegates, some of whom left for home that evening, convinced that "Judgment Day" had come. He staited that the amount of $14,000, due on death claims, up. He would permit the Order to continue if one of this amount, or $27,000, was raised at once. He would allow them thirty days in which to raise this amount by assessment, and no money could be borrowed for this purpose. ONLY TWELVE MONTHS' TIME GRANTED. He would allow them 12 months in which to raise the other $111,000. All of this money must be raised out of the members, and none of it could be borrowed, for the reason that this would create a liability and leave them in the same fig as at present. This was a veritable "wet blanet" thrown over the confiding delegates for in the morning rally talk was the order of the day and a call for help was sounded. Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham led off with a pledge to loan the money to the Holy Mass that A. W. Holmes said that he would loan the Order $3,000. THOSE THOUSAND DOLLAR LOANS. Lawyer J. C. Robertson said that he would loan the Order $1,000, and even Roy, Dr. W. T. Johnson said that he would loan the Order $1,000 Grand Worthy Secretary W. P. Burrell came across too with his pledge to loan $1,000. This sounded "mighty good," but no cash money was forthcoming. When Commissioner Button completely wiped out this idea, the silence was ominous. There was no cash money to cast, for that $18,000 at on-time and time on paying the additional $25,029.01, still due. DELEGATES MUCH WORRIED When the delegates recovered from this shock there was a cull for committees, and a recess was taken. Most of those delegates needed more air, and they got it. There was a scene that it is impossible to properly describe. Gray headed colored men and women filed down in the street below. Some of them look, almost heart-broken, while some others discussed in tones of sadness the unfortunate condition of this great organization. There was a bit tor feeling, too, among the delegates, against the officers, and the cry of "unlucky" passed from mouth to mouth and then they went back on Wednesday night to hear the report of the Committee on the State of the Order. TREASURER HILL, NO LONGER WITH THEM. Treasurer R T Hill. Cashier of the Savings Bank, Grand Fountain. United Order of True Reformers, had lost no time in tendering his resignation when he made his report. It was known that he had taken the position that the Saving Bank was not in debt to the Order, and this did not meet with the bounty approval of some of his associates. The report given by the receivers for the information of the Grand Fountain has not come up in open meeting as yet. Enough is known, though, to justify the statement that both receivers have agreed that the bank was not in debt to the Order. It now develops, too, that all of the halls in every part of the country belong to the Savings Bank and are accordingly wound up in this litigation. As practically every one of them is under mortgage, it is not known what the assets of the bank will be. REDUCTION OF SALARIES All of these halls must be sold though, and proceeds therefrom will be paid into the bank and divided among the depositors of that defunct institution. The Grand Fountain at its session last Wednesdays day night, after remaining there until 1 o'clock, used the pruning knife. Myrtle Grove was dropped. Every official's salary was cut but the Worthy Worker, A.W. Holmes, Ho receives $166.00, 2.3 cents per month and travel expense. Grand Worthy Secretary, W. P. Burrell, received the same amount, but his salary was reduced to one hundred dollars per month. OFFICES ABOLISHED. The office of Chief of Real Estate was abolished. This put out J. O. Robertson, Esq. The Accountant's office was abolished. This put out Edward Ellis, Jr. The office of Business Manager and Editor of the Reformer were combined at a salary of $50 per month for both. This will make it possible to abolish the offices of Deputy Generals, but they were retained. Their salaries, which have ranged it is said from $100, $85 and RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1911. The most sensational feature of staff had undertaken the task of tenure the session was the statement that during us a dinner at the residence Editor Mitchell and Mr. George Burroll in a Post-Card Gallery in Denver, Colorado—From "Editor Mitchell's Long Journey." $60 per month, were reduced to flat amount of $60 per month. WANT REV. TAYLOR TO REFUND MONEY. Thursday morning the Grand Fountain re-convened, with Grand Worthy Master Holmes in the chair. The Committee on the State of the Order was the moving committee, the motive power of the session. A resolution was passed declaring all offices vacant. Grand Worthy Master Holmes, W.J. Browne, Grand Worthy Secretary were reelected, although there was some opposition to the latter by some of the most radical delegates. WHO AUTHORIZED THE INCREASE? The most sensational feature of the session was The statement that Editor Mitchell and Mr. Georgo Bu Colorado—From "Editor the records of the Grand Fountain do not show that the salary of Rev Wm. L. Taylor, Grand Worthy Master, was over set at a figure above $200 per month or $2,400 per year. He was asked to return to the Grand Fountain, or in polite language requested to return an money rover over that figure over a period of nine years, and it is estimated that if he would kindly consent to do it, this would not the Grand Fountain about $20,000.

The Denver Independent and little staff had undertaken the task of tending us a dinner at the residence. roll in a Post-Card Gallery in Denver, Mitchell's Long Journey. of Mr. E. F. Holmes, 2139 Curtis Street, Donvary Colorado. The hour was somewhat later than we anticipated, so we wad at 3 o'clock taken a preparatory meal at the depot restaurant, where we wero the only colorod person in evidence. When we reached Mr. Holmes evidence we found Mr. B. Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, Mr. George Burrell, Mr. O. C. Goens, Mr. Harry Cowl, Rev. J. A. Thor, Hazel, S. T. D., Mr. A. Waller, Dr. J. A. Harper and Mr. H. J. M. Brown, Mr. E. F. Holmes was also present. THE CENTRE OF ATTRACTION. The repeat ranked with the best that had been offered us bofofo, and we heartily enjoyed the menu. The caterer evidently had presided at some of the best banquets before and had no doubt served millions in the course of his travels. We immediately became too attraction, and for more than an hour we kept busy relating our experiences in the newspaper field and in the banking business. Mr. Holmes had met a man who had met with a mishap, but it did not interfere with his work as a cabinet maker. He had taken a course in manual training and a specimen of his handwork was shown us. It was a table, skillfully constructed and showed rare ability on the part of the constructor. THE JEFFRIES-JOHNSON FIGHT It was now nearly 8 o'clock and the moving, pictures of the Johnson-Jeffries fight were to be shown that night. We left for the theatre. On the way there we passed a post-card gallery and the idea again presented itself to have post cards made. Goo. Burrell was ready, and the "Leaving Denver" picture on the end of a rayw car was the result. Reaching the theatre, we went up and soon saw the life-size moving pictures of that great event. The theatre was shrouded in darkness. A white gentleman stood to one side and explained that the featured car we were carrying had carried back to Reno, Nevada, the place through which we had passed just two days before. The trains could be seen coming in with its multitudes of white people. Now and then a colored man could be seen in the crowd. THE STREETS OF RENO. Then the streets of Rong were seen. An automobile was seen pleasing its way through the array, or people. The signs could be easily read and the features of the different persons distinguished. Then we were shown Jeffries' training camp. He was in line with his friends and the visitors passed before him, shaking his hand. He accorded them recognition. His jaws wore working inconsenty, for he had attained the chewing gum habit. He was a misactive looking man. When the colored fighter, Sam Langford, passed and shook hands with him, there was evident satisfaction, and the amities of the crowd were more pronounced. FORMER HEAVY WEIGHT CHAM PIIONS John L. Sullivan was also seen and James J. Corbett. In the training camp Jeffries was seen skipping the rope and punching the bug. All of the talk that James J. Jeffries was not in condition is easily dissipated when one looks at these pictures from real life. Then came Johnson's training camp. He punched the bag too, and he was certainly a live proposition. Looking at it from any view point, though, Jeffries seemed to be just as fit for the fight as Johnson was. He was happy with the happy disposition. Jeffries was still too, but the size of his chest and limbs were more in proportion. In the pictures at times, Johnson's head seemed to end almost in a point. THAT ARENA SCENE Then came the arena scene in the stadium at Reno. It is difficult to do justice to the cone. There was an army of people at the ring side. The arena was elevated above the crowd and was roped off. You could see the famous Bull Durham tobacco sign and the corporation, which it represented is said to have paid as much as twenty-five thousand dollars for the privilege of having it photographed in the pictures of the fight. The scene was an animated one. Peddlers of pop-corn, candy and other sundries could be seen going among the crowd of spectators. Handkerchiefs were in evidence, while many man had taken off their coats. WOMEN THERE. TOO. It was interesting to note the exposition of the faces of many in the audience. Women could be seen in the crowd, too. James J. Jeffries came into the ring first, and he climbed up to the platform and went through the ropes. The large audience went wild with cheering waving handkerchiefs, hats and over umbrellas. Then could be seen the tall form of Jack Johnson. He was surrounded by his trainers. He wore that golden smile which has been spoken of so often. The introduction of other prize-fighters took place Sam Langford, the colored fighter, was there, and John L. Sullivan and James J. Corbett enjoyed the introduction: But the crowd wanted to see the fight, and so James J. Jeffries was introduced as the undefeated champion of the world. ENTRODUCING JACK JOHNSON. Jack Johnson was also introduced While there were not many of them colored men could be seen in the (Continued On Fifth Page.)

Scott, 1411 W. Lough Street, last Sunday night after 12 o'clock. The brother had just been buried that day from the Ebbenet Baptist Church. During the night the mother thought she heard some one down stairs, and she told her son, George, about it. He went down, it is said, with a loaded revolver cocked, and meeting some one in the hall-way fired. The bail entered the side of the person, who proceeded to be his brother, Ambrose. He did not doom it advisable to probe for the bullet, and the young man, who is in twenty years of age, he is to be in danger. He is not suffering from the wound, although he has complained of slight pain in the chest. The accident created quite a sensation at the time. The executor of the estate of Mr. Andrew J. Dotger has recently turned over to the trustees of the Trustees Normal and Industrial Institute $404.883.57. This goes into the Endowment Fund of the institution. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. MERS.

Receiver Makes Report Receiver A J Chowning, Jr has filed an exhaustive report on the condition of the Nickel Savings Bank. It shows that, the aggregate deposits were $25,000. The value of the real estate is estimated at $10,240.00. On this are mortgages amounting to $6,466.00. The notes and bonds outstanding and due the bank amount to $19,072.63. On this amount he has only been able to collect $275,092 worth means that about $14,400.00 worth of asset are thought to be comparatively small. It may be that some of the second mortgages may be realized upon. The overdrafts amount to $459.48. The depositors will do well if they got 40 cents on the dollar. Mr. Walker Pagace Away.

TOOMBS From the Great Play by PAUL ARMSTRONG Copyright, 1910, by American Press Association TWO "Alias Jimmy" Noveliz FREDEER TOOM From the Plea by P. ARMSTE Copyright, American Association JIMMY VALENTINE, WARDEM SYNOPSIS Warden Handler of Sing Sing prison and Detective George Doyle endeavor to prevail on Bill Avery a released prisoner to search out information against a terrorist named Jimmy Valentine. Avery refuses, and Doyle and Handler touch to attack him. Valentine has a law of opening safes soon. Kyle Lieutenant of Lieutenant Governor Pay has beautiful niece Rose Lane and two women workers in a rescue mission that the prison under Handler hearts Rose Lane tell how she was rescued from a thief on a train, and he is amazed at a coincidence. Convict Jimmy Valentine, No. Lay is brought into the warren office to open a safe as an object lesson to the visitors in the man who saved her from the third棉巾. Valentine says he cannot open the safe, emulating Handler. The lieutenant governor agrees with Pay to and the young prisoner, who is handsome even in Sing Sing garb. Pay promises for Rose's sake to ask the governor to send丹森. A stormy occurrence occurs between Handler and Valentine. Valentine waits patiently in prison for news. Finally he is pardoned and goes to the governor, Lieutenant Governor Ray and Rose. Valentine refuses positions offered by the rescue mission worker. To his安慰ment, he meets Bill Avery and a former coworker, Red Flanagan. CHAPTER VII IMMY VALENTINE slowly recovered from the shock he experienced at holding before him the man who had in the old days been his accomplice in many questionable adventures. No, he had concluded wrongly. No, he was not yet free from all the associations of the years past—those years which he was enduring to forget. Red came forth. "Oh, leave it to me. Jimmy, to keep track of an old pal." He held out his hand, whoo Valentine lintedly shook Red could not understand his companion's indifferent manner. *sth.* "What wrong? We asked." "Nothing." "Aw, cut it out. Something's got you guessin'," an" so don't try to kid me." "The released convict looked medi- cal." Tikos he snakes. tintely at Red Then he spoke. "Red, did you ever 'do a bit?' " "Bure--loilet." "And you have been in one of those wotten notes and still think it's a gied game?" "You've weakened—ch7" sneered Red. "I've turned square." "You're crazy!" "No; it's only the man who thinks he can bent the law who's crazy," said Valentine. "You'd a won out if it hadn't been for that Cotton, who blew on you be- cause you beat him out of a dame." "Valentine turned and clutched him by the arm." "You rat, don't you ever speak of her again or I'll murder you." He threw Red roughly away from him. "Now, get out of here and forget you know me." "Good God, Jimmy!" exclaimed the other, "I wouldn't say anything to hurt your feelings. Why, I'd do any thing for you; I'd a done your bit if I could have. Why, I'd go to b-1 for you." "Will you turn square with me? That's all I want of you now. Let's you and I start now and from this minute on go square. If we starve in the streets. Will you do that, Red?" Valentine spoke in intense earnestness. Red hesitated. "One job to get a stake and I'll go you," he said eagerly. Valentine appreciated the character- static unwillingness of Red to leave his lifelong vocation—that of rifting strong hopes and saffes deemed by their manufacturers to be "fire and burglar proof". True, the fames were sometimes foiled by the thicknesses of metal and substance, but rarely had Red Wanagan been foiled by mere inanimate metal or time look—rarely, indeed, when accompanied by No. 1239. The man who, as Warden Handler described him, opened safes solely by the sense of touch. Valentine knew she hold that the unlawful life ha. too, had followed in invariably secured on its colonies, and he was not surprised when Red hesitated to leave it for the dubious rewards of "going straight" "No," answered Valentine; "nothing for me but work from now on work, honest work, hard manual labor if necessary. Ive quit the old game for keeps, Red." Red gently nonplussed at this revolutionary change of heart in his former pat stood speechless for a moment Jimmy Valentine the best man in the country in his life, had turned square. Morristain salutes! Was the world coming to an end? At last he recovered his ability to talk He had an inspiration that he thought might win Valentine over, might make him come to his senses. "What about the copperes? suggest ed Red. 'Are you dippy enough to think they'd let you turn square?' "Yes. Why not?" retorted Valentine like a flash. 'What have they got to do with honest men?' Again did Red find cause to actually doubt the sanity of his ex confidante, for here he was overlooking entirely in his childish reasoning the remorseless, dismal certainty that the detectives would force him to "peace on his old pals or any one else in the underworld of whom he could obtain information desired by the police. In short, Valentine had overlooked the "stool pigeon game," the despair of every crook who had ever tried to "go straight" "Aw, don't kid yourself" warned Red. "The copper il let you square if you're a stool pigeon. If you tip off old pals. No other way." "Abourd' flow, for instance, could they 'do me'?" "Abuse! eh? What about Kid Steele? He turned square, but he wouldn't squat and job after job they threw him out of till he was hungry in the street. Then a copper offered to stake him to a feed if he'd turn up an old pal. And he murdered the cop on the spot, and now he doing life. Turn square eh? That means he a stool or a bum in our game." Rol red insults his hands protestingly and turned his face away from Vance tine. "Heat the copper's," insisted the other. "Get away where they can't find you. We can do that." "Yes, we can." Red again faced his friend "Why." Doyle is in town to see you now." "Doole here?" In alarm. "Yes, I must him when he give off the 'rattler.' He's going to give you your orders, and you'll have to do as he tells you if you turn square. He knows you heat it. He was laying for Avery when he came out and told him to report once a month. And what about Avery? You sent him to me, and we've been at work on something." "Where is Avery?" asked Valentine quickly "Want to see him?" "Yes; I can explain better." Valentine crossed the parlor and peered through the portieres. Red went to the opposite doorway and softly called, "Oh Bill." Avery, dressed in a roughly cut ready made suit of clothes and looking in much better health than he did on the day he defied Detective Doyle and finished his term in Sing Sing, came slowly into the hotel parlor. "Hello, Bill." You're taking a chance, greeted Valentine, "and you are, too. Red." "I had to see you," returned Avery, "I have just been telling红"— "Sure, I heard you hand out that square" talk. I suppose you want me to join you in this "going straight" business, too, eh?" "I don't think the crooked game is any good. And you are getting old for clever work." "Think so, eh?" snared Avery suspiciously. "I can't too old to be an 'outside man' with us," put in Red. "We don't need any outside man any more, Red," decided Valentine. "Avery glared into the speaker's face. "Bo you out now, and you're going to throw Red and me, out eh!" All this turning square talk I heard was a stall to get rid of me because "I don't have to stall you, Avery." The old thief leaned threateningly toward Valentine, shaking his withered fist as violently as the dabby muscle, sapped by years of prison air and prison fare, would permit. "Like the d-!" he cricked, choking in his wrath. "I'm old, that's your dope. Going to throw me for a rookie. eh! Well, I'll show you. When guys start stalling me I'll show them up. From now on I'm a copper, and I'll show you up, Valentine. I'll get you too--I'll get you good!" Red Flanagan had won a continent wide reputation as a "smooth worker." He was one of those palatinting, conscientious burglars who felt lowed habitually the laudable practice of looking after details. His employers, among whom had been Jimmy Valentine, "Chicago Whitey" and other leaders in his profession had in the past shown aattering willingness to recommend him not in their own handwriting, to be sure as a thorough artist unfitting student and one who one day would probably revolutionize the business of caring for other people's money. In a word, Red was thorough, which means a great deal in this line. So, true to its reputation, Red felt compulsions because of the pitil to which Every had unconsciously raised his voice had stepped behind the porteries to keep watch on the short hallway that led to it. This hallway opened out into the main hall of the hotel at the far end of which was ```markdown ``` "ONE JOB TO GET A STAKE AND I'LL GO YOU" a carriage entrance. At the opposite side of the porter was an exit leading to a dining room, which in turn had an opening directly next to the main entrance of the hotel. Red realized that a casual passerby might be suspicious of Avery's words should they I overboard. Besides, the impractical Doyle was in town. A friend of his a "runner" for Doe Shater-a Saro bank, had so informed Red that very morning Red suddenly issued a warning bliss. "Duck, Avery! Here comes Doyle!" The two thieves, having no opportunity to do better, hastily concealed themselves behind the porteries. Valenting, very much disturbed, made an effort to calm himself. He seated himself beside a convenient table. He picked up a magazine and began to peruse its pages in seemingly unconcerned fashion. With these words Detective George Doyle entered the room. Garmented, in the latest cut of fashionable clothing, pannah hat and patent leather ties with hairwring faces, he appeared the dilettante, the man about town, rather than the tracker of desperate men—the man of leisure, every inch of him, an uninitiated observer would have judiciously judged not only from his attire but also from his debilitate, plaque manner. Any one describing Jyley as the man who broke up the "Five Points" gang and the "Whyo" gang in New York city would have been laughed at for his folly, yet such was his record. His work in scattering the troops of election and primary day "botters" and "repeaters" in some of the most disreputable districts was equally meritorious. And yet Doyle had his other side. He was growing fond of the easy life that came from having a staff of "sool pilgrims" to do his work for him. Jimmy Valentine turned his head slightly to answer Doyle, who, he well knew, came on no errand that would benefit a released prisoner "How are you, Doyle?" he replied indifferently Doyle's shifting. Tarnacing eyes, however, caught the nervous twitching of Valentine's fingers as they ran over the edges of the magazine "You're perfectly innocent now, I hear," went on Doyle, a sarcastic note coming into his voice. "Perfectly" Valentine's voice was as even as though conversing with his most intimate friend "No you told the governor!" commented the detective. "Oh, yes!" "I've seen the governor too." "He didn't have much to do this morning, did he?" humorously. "Very pretty, Jimmy. Let me ask you a question. Do you think I would be your friend if I could?" "Do you think no yourself?" "Yes, if you were willing to exchange the ordinary courtesies between friends." "Making exactly what?" "Favors. Now, I will the first one." He scatted himself opposite the ex-convict. "Thank you," in gray mood. "Bareass won't win you anything with me, Jimmy." I said I'd do you a favor. "What is it?" Valentine began to inspect his visitor anxiously. The detective paused momentarily. Then he said deliberately: "I'll-forget-that-job-you-did-at- Springfield-three-years-ago." The detective jeoned back in his chair. Inserted his thumbs in the arm holes of his waistcrout and gushed ly at Jimmy Valentine. The eyes of the man addressed became directed at the cover of the magazine he still held, but only for an instant. He shot a defiant glare at Doyle. "I was never in Springfield in my life," he said indignantly. "Which Springfield?" asked Doyle significantly. "No Springfield" "You dodge it nicely" "I don't see how" "Now, which Springfield did I think you were going to say?" "I have no iden" "Good again. Well, I'll tell you." continued Doyle. "I meant Spring Field Mass" Valentine called his brows doubtingly, innocently "I don't think I was ever in the state of Massachusetts" "I can prove you were in Spring Field Mass, the night the safe in the savings bank was grubbed" "Oh uh you can't" "Believe me Jimmy, I can. The witness may be a bit disreputable, but I can prove it" "You can job me, you mean. You can get fake witnesses? Valentine asked extremely" "I can send you for five at least my boy" "But you won't if I do you a favor?" "You are a very good guesser James" "Well?" "I want Avery" "Avery?" "Bill Avery, who finished a nine year stretch in a month ago and joined up with your old friend Red Flama can" Bill Avery, conceived behind the porters with Red, gave a violent start as he bound Boyles words. Red had all he could do to quip him. The aged thief however managed to draw a 28 caliber revolver from a side pocket in his conti-quarter to get at than the bip pocket and then the arrangement enables a man to stand with a hand he closely thrust into a pocket and to discharge the pistol through the rear when the emergency threatus "Curse him!" he whispered to Red. "I told him I'd get him if he turned square and when Bette gives I'll bore him through the mouth and into his brain" "Serve him right!" bissed Red. "And two chances for a slick getway. No guy can go on the square without goin' crooked with his pals" CHAPTER VIII. 11.10.19. Knighting of the serious conspiracy that was forming but a few yards away behind the thick velvet curtains, Valentine gave verbal and mental battle to the detective. Already he was beginning to see that the way of the transgressor was hard not only while he was in the legal tolls, but also after he became free and supposedly in a position to build a new life if he so desired. But Jimmy Valentine was only at the beginning of a knowledge of the conditions and set backs he must face, for so long as men make laws and administer them so long will the guilty and the innocent as well suffer and endure, sometimes justly and sometimes unjustly. This also is a law of life. Valentine went on to insist that he didn't know where Avery was, hadn't seen him since his release from Sling Eing, was glad of it. didn't care A. where he was and didn't purpose to care. Of all this he was absolutely sure. "Well," stated Doyle, "he held up a citizen just three days after he got out, and I want him." "And I'm to tell you where he is and you will send him up for highway robbery!" questioned Valentine. "The man he stuck up may die." "And you expect me to hunt him up and deliver him to you." "And you are going to. That's the odd part of it. And possibly I'll make an eerie witness out of you." "It would be odd if I sent Avery away for life. It would indeed!" "Then I'llaugh you for that Springfield job." Doyle rose abruptly. "Then you may as well do it now." said the other defiantly. "No hurry, I've got a little work on the case yet, and I'll find you when I want you." Doyle's grin showed his teeth. "I'm not going to run away." "Look here, Valentine, this Avery isn't worth this. He's as wrong as ever lived. He'll cross you or any one else. I should think when a ham bumps to blackjacking an old man that would put him out of your class." "I don't know where he is. I don't know that he did blackjack anybody, and I wouldn't know him if I saw him." "That's your spiel, eh?" "That's the truth." Valentine rose as though to end the distasteful interview "That's a lie! You know where he is better than any one. If you don't Red does, and I want him. One month to turn him up, and if you don't go after you, and if I go after you I get you." "Well, get me." "I will. It will take a little time—a year, perhaps ten—but as long as we're both alive I'm after you Good day." Dovie sleeps amply away As the broad shoulder formed of the "headquarters man" disappeared Valentine stood gazing reflectively after him. His back was turned to the porch. Hill Avery, seeing his chance creep steadily out, in his right hand glanced the barrel and the chamber of his 28 bulldog. He felt assured. He had the versatile Red to aid in the necessary gainway. The hotel corridors were opportunity deserted and the noise of the elevator and of the street cars outside would dull the sound of the bulldog's bark. Another step, he raised the weapons, his forefinger begin to tighten on the trigger. But Valentine's keen can caught the sound of the creak of Avery's stiffening elbow joint as it straightened. Wheeling with his old time敏性, the ex-convict saw his danger, struck down the dream with his powerful left hand and grested it from his would be assistant's grasp. He broke the weapon open and saw that all the chambers were loaded. Snapping it shut, he thrust it into his poke and hurled the now crengling Avery from him to the floor. "You foot!" screwed Valentine. "Get up and be a man." The former prison mate of his conqueror still refilled his foot. "Too bad you didn't get him" growled Red disgustedly. Valentine however cut short their talk by warning them of their loud tones. At his pronouncement that they were both angry Red reminded him of what he had told him about the detectives and their stoil pigeons. "It was a lie, too," put in Avery. "I never stuck that old man up. I'm talking on the level." "I knew Doyle was lying," answered Valentine reassuringly. "It's a hard game we're up against." Red agreed with the speaker. "Well, now, maybe you believe that it ain't so easy to turn square. Listen Jimmy. Avery and we have got a job worked out. We know every twist and turn of the joint. We've provoked twice. We were going to use the soup." He showed a bottle. See our nitroglucer, but we heard you were going to be spring and we waited. You can grab that gopher tonight and you can bet with us outside no one can get to you." Red and Avery eyed him anxiously expectantly. "I've opened my last safe. Red," was the calm reindeer. "So you're going to work eh, with a copper at your back" married Red "I'm going to work, and I won't be a stool pigeon" "You're going to give up the game, because you got-you, with your—" "I'm done" "Well, what in heaven's name— I got it—it's a woman." "I have met a decent girl, Red, the kind I know as a boy-my sister's kind. It was she who got me out of that hole at Sing Sing, and I have promised myself"— "You don't think she or her folks would stand for you, do you?" "If I was on the level she just might." "With a copper telling lies about you to her folks unless you delivered me or Red" interrupted old Avery. "Jimmy for God's sake don't go against that straight girl game. It'll only break your heart, then what?" asked红锦ly. The released prisoner was thoughtful a moment. "I've thought it out," he finally said. "She'll be back any minute, and I'm going her way, boys. Yes, and if I do there's a chance that I may win her some day and be able to take her to my old home and my father and mother, who haven't heard of me for years. They didn't seem quite to understand me when I was a ad, boys, nor I them, but I can see now that they meant all right by me. I've learned it all from this girl, though she almost a complete stranger to me." Valentine's voice began to waver, and he inclined his face to one side to hide the evidences of the emotion that threatened to overwhelm him. To be led Flannagan and Bill Avery the situation was a trying one, desperate indeed. One of them was all too young and inexperienced to execute alone the delicate, sure, nerve racking "inside" job of a safe floating sortie, the other was too old and feeble for anything but a birth as "outside" man, to detect approaching danger and give due warning thereof. They absolutely required the partnership of Jimmy Valentine. Yet here was Valentine, as Avery described him in a reproachful whisper to fled: "Here he is crazy stuck on a skirt, an' him th' only man in America as can open a twelve bolt safe thy th' sense o' touch. Aln't it th' limit for a genuo-like man to waste his talents an' go on the square?" Valentine faced his friends of the past. ```markdown ``` HE WHESTED THE WEAPON FROM AVERY. "When did you see her—the girl?" queried Red Flanagan of him. "Night here today?" Jimmy Valentine's face brightened as he thought of her. "Met her father too. She said she would be back." "And you think she'll come?" answered tied. "Why, we been here a half hour, and it's a chinch Doyle has reached her father." Valentine gave a sudden start. Red inwardly rejoiced he saw that his shot had taken effect. "Doyle" gasped the saw released convict. "I wonder if he"— "You can be on it." put in Avery. "A little sympathy, Jimmy, that's all." suggested Red. "She just came to cheer you on the right path. Aln't you on you?" "Don't say that. Red. Don't you say that" "It's a clutch Doyle has queered the play," went on Avery. Valentine moved angrily at the speaker. "It wasn't a play, Avery. I'll struggle you if you speak that way again." Red was again scornful and said. "Oh, 'ot!' They're playing you, and you don't see it. And for being spoken nice to you're going to blow the softest griff a man ever bad." "I know what I'm doing." insisted Valentine who began walking nervously up and down the floor. "Yes, you do. If you had a chance—'i stick, and you know it, don't you?' "I don't know anything about it." Avery, catching a significant glance from Red, continued the shrewd, as tempt to cause Valentine to lose faith in those Luna. "Did the girl wear pink roses," he said excitedly, "and was the guy with her gray hairied and carried a gold beaded cane?" "When you was talking to Doyle here and we was planted there"—he indicated the porteries—"I saw them pass here going toward the depot." Valentine stopped short in his nervous mingling. He glared in astonishment at one side of the room gripping the rim of a shouch hat, one that could be pulled down over the eyes, to partially conceal the face when the waurer was in a public place. "They went to the station." Valentine gaped. "Then—they are—not—coming to—to." Red saw the impression Avery's words had made on his former pal. He saw that possibly very little would now be needed to cause No. 1250 to return to the old ways with the old friends. "Surest thing you know, Jimmy," he announced. "I saw them too. She had on a skimmery dress with pink flowers in her bonnet, and she looked perfectly happy, too, like she was glad to get away from this town." CHAPTER IX SILENCE caused. Valentine's was plainly suffering from the blow. Then an expression of confidence came into Valentine's face. He sent himself on a soft at the left of the room. "She'll be back," he said. "You felldogs are just like Itty Scudden. He always said women didn't amount to much. Gives that was because one of the barmains at the Chicheshire Cheese in London peached on him to the Scotland Yard bulls, and he had to make a quick getaway hidden under the coat in a freight steamer. But this girl is different from the kind of wo-men you and I have known, boys. She saw there was something good in me, even when I wore the stripes, and she took me out of the reach of Warden Handler and 'solitaire' - solitaire, boys. Does that mean anything to you? Valentine's voice rose higher. "Yes, and she's going to do one thing more for me. Shig's coming back to help me start on the square." Red stepped close to Valentine, gripped his arm and blissed determinately into his arm: "You know she won't. You don't think a straight girl would stand for a crook like you, do you—you, with the copper always after you on account of some of the old stuff we did! Don't kid yourself, Jimmy. It's no go." "If any other ecko had dreamed a dream like that, what a laugh it would be; but now you go, Red—you and Avery." Red rose quickly. "What do you mean?" suspiciously. The light of resolution shone in Valentine's eyes. "I've quit." he said. "What!" snapped Red and Avery together. "I've quit." "What about Doyle?" put in Avery. "He's heavy on your mind, ain't he. Avery? I can beat Doyle." "Youn't alice going to lose that coin I've got staked out for an hour's work?" wailed Red. "Bene thousand if there's a dimer." "Yes, I'll lose that." "And a trip abroad to brace you up —a month in Paris!" "Test: I lose that too." Red. went on excitedly, bending tensely toward Valentine; "But you won't lose the old thrill of going into a bank run" before dawn. "AND SEEKING THE OLD BAPE OPEN UP LIKE AN OVERKER." "AND BEING THE OLD BAPE OPEN UP LIKE AN OWNER!" landing the watchman and feeling out a combination in the dark? "And bearing the copper pass and try the door?" reminded Avery eagerly. "And seeing the old safe open up like an oyster and grabbing the dough?" said Red alluringly. "And make a clean getaway?" followed Avery. "And the long jump and the landing in at a swell cafe, Jimmy—eating the breakfast of the millionaire?" sang out lied. "With the coin in your kick?" added Avery. "And reading the papers and laughing our heads off at what snorkers we made of the copper—you ain't going to lose that, Jimmy?" red pleaded, with every ounce of effort he could control. Indecision had begun to show in Valentine's face, and now his surrender was complete. "You got to me, Red," he announced, then added eagerly: "Where is this layout you got? Can we get to it tonight?" "Nurel It ain't two hours from here." "It's a clutch," commented Avery delightedly. Jimmy Valentine had surrendered indeed. His two-one-time accomplices had cunningly played on his weakness for the turtles of the "crooked game." The thrills of it to him were more precious than the rewards. They were his rewards. Besides, the girl had not returned. She had paid the debt she owed to her rescuer, and that was all. Well, let her go, reasoned Valentine. Never again would he commit the folly of placing faith in a straight girl "Walt!" he cried. "My hands are pretty tough. I couldn't feel the tick of grandfather's clock the way they are now, but I can beat that. I can sandpaper them down till I can feel the pulse in a dead man's wrist. Where's the". "We got him," whispered Bill Avery exultantly to Red. "We got him, an' he'll stick." Hardly had Jimmy Valentine made his declaration to again join internets with Red Fiannagan and Bill Arery than a bellboy entered the parlor, paging the name of "Mr. Valentine." Jimmy stepped forward hastily, seted an envelope bearing his name which the boy carried and excitedly tore it open. He found a brief note written in feminine penmanship. He read these words, and the color surged to his cheeks: Please don't leave till I return. I include you a note. Mrs. Webster asked me to write to me. We went to the desert where we went to reserve sleepers for tonight. ROBE LANE "What is it?" asked Avery, drawing near. "Something from Doyle, I'll bet" "Yea, what is it?" questioned Red. What is it? questioned Red. "It is the return of hope," answered Valentine, his emotion causing his voice to s**ke. "You've weakened again!" answered Red. "No; I'm strong again." "You mean that's from the girl?" "She is coming back, Red, and there's nothing on this earth or in n**- that can make me go wrong. You said a minute ago that if you thought I had a chance you'd stick." "I said it." "Then I hold you to that." "Good God!" examined Avery. "You're not goin' to turn square, too, Red?" "I'm going with Jimmy. If I'd do a bit for him I got to go if he asks it." "What am I goin' to do?" asked Avery politely. Valentine drew close to him. "I've got you a job, Bill, a good one," he announced. Valentine read from a note Mrs. Moore had left with him. "Listen," he said. "This will introduce the man you promised the position as watchman of one of your grain elevators. The wages at $2.50 a day are satisfactory to him." Intense disgust spread over Bill Avery's face. "Two-fifty a day," he succeed. "A man can't live on that." "I don't want a job." snarled Avery. "Only the suckers work for a living." "Yes, you do want one." returned Valentine. "And this is just your kind, Avery. And let me tell you something that you think I don't know. You're tired of being a crook—fired to death. I knew that when we were inside. But you are afraid of what a lot of old palms will say. Well, let them say. What they got? Did you ever see a crook with anything? What do they amount to? They haven't the standing of a house dog. You're tired of it, Bill, and ashamed of the years you've lost, and I know it. Now here's your chance, your day of salvation. There's the letter and here—the coin to get there." He handed Avery some bills. "It's way out west where no one knows you, and you've got a chance. Just think, back to a mother and they ahead to—" FDC 221121 EVENING WRAPS. Gralds, Furs, Laces and Even Golden Tapestry Are an Important Part of the Makeup of These Elaborate Garments. Protecting, warm and lovely are the evening wraps of this season. Last year we marveled at and accepted the beautiful models offered, but they were but promises of the wealth of color and fabric and the beauty of line that this year throws over the shoulders of womankind. If you are in the least inclined to home dreammaking the illustration offers a suggestion. It looks elaborate. ```markdown ``` but can be copied by any woman with an eye for combination and a hand for applying. It is loose in cut, full length and depends upon the incorporation of lace, braid and fur with the main body. It is not difficult, then, and it is decidedly worth while to look before you leap into the circle of making this important garment. ~ Batin of a soft shade of golden tan is veiled with brown chiffon. This must be done before the shoulder seams are sewed together. There is a suggestion of a kimono line in the extended shoulder line. The straight eleaves reach to the wrist. At the lower edge the fullness is gathered into a band of cruc lace that is edged with brown fur. A flat collar and straight cuffs are of fur, and a satin scarf ties the wrap at the top. Buttons outline the side seams, and, although jowelled forms are effective, you can cover molds with satin and then with lace and embroider with coarse silk. This is a touch that brings the model into a distinctive class. Here is another suggestion. Braid furnishes the trimming of this satin wrap. Huge revers are heavily sutached, on both surfaces, so that when crossed, as shown, or when closed at the top there is an evidence of the popular trimming. The deep cuffs and the square patch at the back are braided, and large buttons are used for elaborating the scheme. Notice the high line of the waist and the long revers that swings over to one side. The effect of braiding on plain satin is always rich, a hint for you. Velours plays an important part in wraps this season. It is shown in a full circular cape with flowing sleeves, and it suggests the leopard's skin. No trimming is required by this covered surface, so what is saved in the trimming can be comfortably paid in material. A satin lining finishes it! Golden tapestry, which, if you are a very clever woman, you will find in the upholstery department, is suggested for a straight wrap that falls to the ground and is edged with a double band of fur. The sleeves are cut in one with the bodice, and reverses are edged with fur and tassels. Golden lace outlines the edge and is applied on the turned back cuffs. A side fastening is used, with jewelled buttons. The wearing quality of tapestry commends it to you, and the material comes so wide that a wrap is not such a luxury after all. How would you like a white military coat? It is extremely simple in line, depending on a black velvet circular collar at the back and huge pointed reverses in front for the effect of Napoleonic style. Gold buttons weight the reverses and trim cuffs and skirt. White broadcloth is used, but pale gray of tau or even scarlet might be those services. A three-quarters length coat of satin is the last suggestion. The lines are loose, and the distraction depends on the drama, revealing the growing bleakness. and the turned up hem, all braided with narrow silk soutache. A huge braid motif is placed at the front. The crossed line here is very effective. Peacock blue trimmed with gold and green braid is a suggestion rich and durable. REMOVING FACIAL BLEMISHES Flesh Around Pimplems or Blackheads Must Be Softened by Hot Compressure. Immediate application of a strong saturing will often prevent formation of large pores that frequently come after pimplems are removed. This is especially true when an eruption has been opened so the matter it contains may be ejected; also the manner of opening such a pimple has much to do with surface smoothness later. Before taking out a lump the skin should always be softened by heat. If the spot is punctured while the surface is hard and unyielding all the secretion will not be thrown off and there will probably be another gathering. To warm the flesh hot compresses are the best form of treatment. To put on these hot applications a woman may either stand with her face over a basin and keep applying a wet cloth or cloths may be wrung out of hot water and laid on the face. There should be ready to use an entirely new cambric needle. If there is the slightest doubt of its perfect cleanliness the point should be dipped into alcohol and a lighted match applied immediately. The needle will be ablaze for a second or more while the spirits burn off. The flame kills any germ that might adhere and in this way the steel is antiseptically clean. A knife or any instrument that must be put into the flesh should always be first treated in this manner. As soon as the skin is soft, at the end of two minutes or more, it is to be patted dry and the needle thrust straight into the swelling. The pain will be alight. Then the skin surrounding the spot may be gently pressed that all secretion shall be ejected, but care must be taken not to bruise the flesh. A soft piece of old linen should be used to wipe the spot. The instant that the matter has been entirely pressed out the open spot must be touched with a drop of pure alcohol or spirits of camphor or any toilet water. Any liquid containing alcohol is a pronounced astringent. If plimples recur a lotion that is commended to apply immediately after opening such scores is made from two drams of sulphur precipitate, ten grains of gum camphor, twenty grains of acacia gum and two ounces each of lime and rose waters. When this is used application of any other astringent becomes unnecessary. The cause of plimples would be difficult to tell. Not infrequently, however, defective digestion or overindulgence in sweets causes them, and care should be given to abstentious diet. To prevent facial eruptions the liver should be made to perform its functions and the skin kept free from dust. TO PROTECT THE COLLAR. A Solution of the Problem of Collars Soiled by the Coat In Winter. One of the torments of winter is the soiled collar that results from wearing a coat on top of a light waist. Not even a white lining entirely overcomes the difficulty, and various methods are resorted to for protection There are shaped bands of plque, white and cern that can be bought to button inside the coat collar. The chief objection is in sewing the buttons so it will fit exactly Plique banding in bliss folds is also gold by the piece. This is hasted inside the coat collar, so it just shows a line of white on the right side Some girls wear a band of black ribbon around base of collar of blouse. The coat rests on this and protects the dress from soiling. The ends are crossed in front and fastened at each side with small cuff pins Newest of all are the gay stoles. These are made in straight bands of flowered satins in rich all over effects. Use five inch ribbon and turn over edges on a lining of white satin. Make the stolе a half yard and finish the ends with black silk knotted fringo three and a half inches deep. Worn inside the coat these stoles are a protection to delicate frocks, and if artistic silk is chosen they add a smart touch under dark furs. HEALTH AND BEAUTY One valuable aid to health is to flush the stomach with one or more glasses of moderately cold water. If the water can be taken warm it is all the more beneficial. Stimulation means hurrying and should be followed by resting to equalize matters, for it is impossible for the heart and other organs to work without sufficient rest. Weak heart action may be cured by judicious exercise. Weak muscles are strengthened by exercise, and the heart is a muscle and when in perfect condition is capable of enormous exercise. If it is only weak—that is, with no organic difficulty—the desired strength may be obtained by any form of exercise that causes deep, slow, rhythmic breathing. In cases of sore throat a cold compress is one of the best known remedies. Wring out of cold water a piece of flannel long enough to go around the neck and two inches wide after folding once. Wrap it around the throat and cover with a piece of dry flannel a little wider. Leave it on overnight and in the morning bathe the neck thoroughly in cold water. "Top, do 10 mills make a cent?" That departs, my son. Unless they are in a trust they probably don't." New York Times THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. PLUMED HATS. Alasian Bow of Stiff Ribbon and Ostrich Feathers Are the Conspicuous Trimming For Present Head Wear. The newest in hats might be summed up in one word - plumes - if it were not for certain other tendencies, such as the prevalence of the Alasian bow and of the sugar scoop shape. Let us inspect our beauties and then pass on to the alluring ostrich feather. The sugar scoop shape holds the unique position of looking unlovely off a head and surpassingly lovely on. It is really becoming in any number of types, but it is best modified and softened by a huge bow. These Alasian or windmill bows are very large, made of stiff ribbon or loosely wired, and are tied at the back, drooping over the crown toward the front. They are all the trimming that any hat noods, and all the smart tail made millinery shows their influence. To turn to feathers, we are to have almost a superbidity of them, if that worm possible. First of all is the shower plume, two or three partly A curled ostrich plumes, one sewed in the chanticleer fashion straight up at the back of the hat, the other one or two, according to size, fastened so as to fall loosely over the front to the very brim, and all mingling so as to seem one feather Nearly all of this year's hats are being trimmed largely at the back. Really one might almost say that last season's hat could be turned around backward to put it in this season's fashions. See, for instance, the black hatter's plush, with its white plume (black and white is distinctly the thing) and its black and white ribbon scarf. The plume there is curved around the high crown, but from the front back, the front showing only the ribbon. Surely this is a departure. A very smart trimming for a velvet turban is one white plume fastened at the side and falling over the top like a cockade. This is especially becoming to a youthful face For dresser wear than this turban effect there is the eatin hat trimmed with two of the new rainbow willow plumes. These plumes are shaded so as to run the entire gamut of the colors of the rainbow. For a change they are gawed in front and fall back against the crown in different directions. The darkest shade is at the midrib, the colors fading away until the lightest' comes at the edge. These hat suggestions need no recommendation. Never have we had lovelier millinery than now. And, above all, now is the time to go up into your storeroom, take out every catrich feather you ever owned and have it dyed or curled until it is able to join the popular procession of plumes. Mary Dean Cold weather is here with a vengeance, and some of us are wishing we had one of the heavy quilts grandmother handed down to us and we handed down-to the church fair. Well, here is the way to make one quickly and easily. Get two pieces of sateen or of mercerized printed goods in contrasting yet harmonious colors and of the proper size to fit your bed. Put the right sides together and machine stitch up two of the sides. Then turn the goods inside out and run it up in stripes six inches apart. Next get soft calico, which tear up into strips each six inches wide. Machine stitch these up the sides and fill them with cotton batting. Draw the cotton filled calico into the strips of your quilt, being sure to tie them evenly and neatly, and sew up the ends. Finish with a ribbon quilt or adring and your quilt is done. Saving Tablecloths. It is well to have your tablecloth and sheets folded widthways occasionally instead of lengthways, as this prevents the fold from always coming in the same place and thus causing that place to wear out first. NOVEL WORKBAG Shaped Like a Sunbennut It Is Very Appropriate as a Prize at Card Parties. The latest thing in workbags has a qualitiness that makes it appropriate to be used as a prize. It is in the shape of a miniature sunbonnet and can easily be made at home. Cut out two pieces of cardboard four inches long, four inches deep in front and two at back. Slope the sides to the shape of a sunbonnet frame. Cover each piece with a flowered silk on the outside and white satin on inner-side. To the back edge of the two pieces join a gathered crown of the silk and to the lower edges put a shaped poplum of the same material. This is cut three inches wide at top, the frame extending beyond it, and should be two inches deep, with the back edge cut straight and the front one sloped to make the lower edge of frill about four inches deep. The crown is joined to the frames with a narrow whalebone, which opens to form a small bag for thread, thimble and a bit of fancy work. On one inner side of frame are fastened leaves of white French flannel, with edges pinked and brier stitched in colored silk On opposite side is ribbon, held at intervals to hold scissors, hoodkins, attelto and rule The bonnet fastens in front with a crocheted loop and button and may have baby ribbon attached if it is to be carried. VOGUE OF SAILOR COLLARS. They Are Worn on Many Garments This Season, Both Those For Afternoon and Evening Wear. Everywhere-on gowns and coats and evening wraps and separate blouses and negligees the sailor collar is prevalent. It is the one new touch in neckwear this season. It is of generous proportions sometimes reaching almost to the waist—and it may be of any color or fabric. Moreover it may or may not match the rest of the costume. The style as applied to indoor garments may be seen here in the blouse of taupe crepe de chine. The blouse is very simply made, to be worn with a taupe broadcloth suit in the new matched blouse, and is trimmed only by a shallow chemise of white and gold lace and buttoned cuffs of the same face over chiffon under sleeves. But the distinctive note is given by the sailor collar buttoned in front with a row of velvet buttons that end in tassels and cut with a curve in back to obviate the hunchbacked appearance that is the sailor collar's only drawback. The collar is felled and stitched double at the edge, giving the effect of narrow cording. Altogether it adds greatly to the appearance of a blouse that would otherwise look prettier but rather unfinished. Even in very elaborate garments the sailor collar is worn. In an evening and dress cost seen recently the sailor collar was at its best in a cream colored broadcloth with the brown velvet collar. The touch given was that of warmth, for THE WOMAN rich brown combined with big gilt gutters to do away with the chilly appearance of white in winter. The collar did not come straight around the front, but was folded under a blazed lapel and fastened down by the buttons. It was fitted over the shoulders and was rather high in the neck, the breadcloth beneath being stiffened as for a coat collar. The brown serves for the further purpose of being more becoming than white next to the skin. In for the velvet is extremely and deservedly popular. It appeared with an Alice blue breadcloth coat in an attractive shade of brown beaver. The coat was cored in front and had deep fur cuffs to match the collar. The latter is chiefly remarkable for the pointed tie over the shoulders, making it lie flat without bulging. At the neck it was cut low and round in order to display the collar of the gown. The sailor collar effect may, of course, be only an apparent one. In this case the collar is simply a stitched square applied on the blouse and is used chilly because it gives an appearance of height. Bowknot of Brillants Bowknots of brilliants are very smart indeed and have supplanted the pearl brooch of other days. They are shown with a background of black or dark colored velvet or a heavy corded silk. Some have the center of the ribbon done in blue enamel, with a row of the brilliants just on the edge.

For a little girl another suggestion is a simple velvet frock made in one piece. There is a panel of striped corded silk in the front outlined on each side with silk covered buttons. The half sleeves are bell shaped and are lined with white silk. They are slashed up at the outer seams and trimmed with buttons. A straight line is attained by plaiting in the fullness of the skirt at each side seam and holding the folds by buttons. These velvet dresses for little tots are very elegant and rely on their simplicity for their attractive style. This dress will also look well in raph or coarse linen. Cotton vôlei will be one of the most generally worn materials for children during the coming spring. It makes up well in combination with coarse lace. Cluny or Irish is suggested. The extended yoke has a straight line across the top, from which hand run tucks are placed in clusters at the side. Three tucks appear lower down on the skirt also. The sleeves are of the kimono type, edged with a band, and the lace again appears on the bottom of the skirt. The young girl's frock in our illustration is of blue serge trimmed with black soutache and bands of black satin. The plain satin is used as a hem and as trimming, in Russian linen, for the bodice. Braid and buttons give a military finish. The guipme is of fine linen and is adjustable. A child's coat for spring is suggested exploiting a few new lines. It is of tapestry blue ribbon ottoman silk and is trimmed with cord and an Irish lace collar and cuffs. The sleeves are regular coat sleeves, and the double row of crocheted buttons serve as fastenings for the corded loops at the front. An inverted side plait is held in place by buttons and cords, while a lace wrap over silk holds in the back. This little coat can also be made in green ratline striped with white, with dark green collar and cuffs and round mother-of-pearl buttons. For a summer coat heavy linen with an embroidered collar and cuffs would be a smart adaptation of these lines. And finally we come to the last idea, which is dark blue serge with a circular collar, broad revers and cuffs of light blue ration. The sleeves are full, the lines loose, and the style is suited to a lifitle girl - from five to fourteen years old. Two materials for one frock are certainly less expensive when the clever shopper can combine colors and fabrics with little or no hesitation. Fashion is kindly disposed toward the home dressmaker these days. It is her opportunity, and now is the best time to take advantage of it. Ginger Before Breakfast "If you are inclined to feel heavy and bad tempered in the morning when you rise," says a well known physician, "try taking a piece 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 palatable before breakfast daltry." THREE SORTS OF NOVELS.

Bob Armstrong, the colored heavyweight, was in Joffries' corner waiting on him and ministering to his wants. He hold a large umbrella over him to shield him from the hot rays of July sun. Jack Johnson was introduced, and his face beamed with smiles as he looked down upon that sea of faces. The gong sounded and the first round had begun. There was some sparring, and before one could realize it, the men were on the way to their corners again. Tox Rickard, the referee, was in the ring and almost as active as the fighters. Round 2 was about the same way. There were few blows exchanged. Each man seemed to be trying to find out what the other one would do. Jeffries may have been frightened, but no evidence of it is observable in those fight pictures. He was noticed that each time he went after Johnson, he was as quick as a squirrel and as lively as a cat. FOUGHT LIKE A BULL, DOG. His tonacity of purpose was similar to that of a bull dog. The third round was just a little more interesting, and when Round 4 was reached it began to look like business. The attendant explained that it would be well to notice that Johnson always waited too for Jeffries to come to him, and at the end of the round Johnson would so arrange it that he would be near his own corner. Jeffries would have to come from his corner to fight him, and when the round was over would have to walk across the ring to get to his own corner. "This was evidence," said the attendant, "of Johnson's superior ring generalship." Whenover Johnson went to his corner he wore that smile. When he clinched with Jeffries he would look over Jeffries' back at the audience and smile again. OBEYED THE REFEREE. Both men obeyed the referee perfectly. They broke away at the command. When Round 5 was announced it could be soon that Johnson was warming to his work. When he fell there was a roar of applause. But Johnson got up smiling. Round 6 showed that Joffries was being terribly punished. His face began to swell and while no blood could be seen by these films, as no color but black and white can be seen, the terrible size of his face was not noticed the attendant said the fact. The attendant quoted Johnson's remarks as the rounds proceeded. At one time he would ask the time of day. At another he would inquire if it was not most time for dinner. Then he would wade in again and deliver those fearful upper cuts. JEFFRIES SEVERELY PUNISHED Joffries was being severely punished, but behind all this was that stolid determination "to die game." He asked no quarter. He showed no white feather. He obeyed the reference. He didn't foul blows. He went at Johnson and Johnson went at him. He fought him with the cool, trained precision of an athlete of a heavyweight fighter. The attendant announced that Joffries had lost the gutch from his mouth in this round. Johnson had coolly picked off him if he wanted time to pick it up. Then each man walked back to his corner. Johnson always ended near his corner, and Joffries always had to walk clean across that 25-foot ring. THAT GOLDEN SMILE Johnson still wore that golden smiff, and he seemed to regard this championship fight as a holiday performance. The tap of the gong was ended music to him. But it was not so with Jeffries, and yet with his face battered almost to a pulp, with one eye closed, and with his cheeks more than twice the normal size, he shot out from his corner at the Negro who challenged him. Then came the clinches. You could not see the bliss delivered, but you were informed by the attendant that the deadly work was going on. Johnson would get Jeffries in a backlight and then shoot that terrible right fast of his up into Jeffries' face until the tap of the gong told him that the round was ended. TRAINERS WERE BUSY. Then back to the corner both men would go. The trainers would fan Jeffries with towels and wash and rup him down. At times they would give him stimulants. End Bob Armstrong, the tail Nogro attendant, was much in evidence in helping Jeffries. Jim Corbett, the ex-champion, was advising Jeffries now, and his interference was resented by Johnson, who told Corbett to come into the ring and he would teach him how to fight. Then came Rounds 7 and 8. At times only the clichés could be observed, Johnson had Jeffries head under his arm, and he sent those, nerveracking uppercents into his already bleeding, wounded face. His fat would move only a few inches, but the blow would be delicat WEAKENING JEFFRIES. It would rack the nerves and prove distracting to Jeffries' whole being. Then the attendant explained in Round 9 as Johnson forced one of Jeffries' arms behind him with the precision and certainty of a giant handling a pygmy. This he said showed Johnson's superiority. The ability to do this played havoc with Jeffries' strength. Every time he carried Jeffries' arm behind him it reduced Jeffries' strength. And yet, Jeffries' beaten almost to a jelly in the face and in the presence of that army of white people, did not show the white feather. TEKRIFIC BLOWS DELIVERED. When the next round came he started for Johnson. He met him again that fearfully gruelling continued. Johnson was handling his antagonist with ease now. He would look over his back and smile. He would make remarks to people in the audience. He would speak about the weather and then he would drive home again one of those never-racking, terrific blows that was weakening Jeffries, and ending the fight for the world's championship. Jeffries fought on. Rounds 10 and 11 were bugging matches. Rounds 12 and 13 were bugging matches. Jeffries out, and yet he came on. The recuperative powers were in evidence. Those handlers of him understood their business, and when he was practically down and out they would resort to a treatment in full view of the thousands of people that would enable him to stand up and wade in again. THE PICTURES TOLD THE STORY No bull-dog ever stuck to his task with a greater tenacity of purpose than did James J. Jeffries. The talk about his being doped or poorly dealt with preliminary to the fight will never be accepted for a moment by any man, be he white or black, who sees those moving pictures. In Johnson's corner the operations were similar to those in Jeffries' corner. You see a tall black man, awathed in white. They are fanning him. They eat him. He enjoys it, just colored folks enjoy special attention. Both men are practically naked with the exception of the bands which they wear around their wastes. The perspiration shown on Johnson's body like oil. THE END NEARER No other comparison is available, and he seemed to take the whole affair as a joke: white he was delivering that awful punishment to James J. Jeffries. Round 14 was there. Jeffries went to the ropes, while Johnson rushed over him with his arms ready to deliver the knock-out blow the minute he got to his feet. The refereo rushed between them and this saved Jeffries for one more round. He was apparently as weak as a child now, and he was raised to his feet and led to his corner, where his faithful attendants put in more work to bring him up to a point where he could rally and start in once more at Jack Johnson. THAT KNOCK-OUT BLOW. Would you be joyful it? That bpaten man rallied. He stood on his feet. He was groggy, and yet he started for Jack Johnson. There was a parry, a snarring contest Jack Johnson shot out his arm. The blow was delivered so quickly that it was difficult, well impossible to follow it on the canvas. As it was delivered Jeffries went to the ropes and to the floor. Only the ropes saved him from falling from the ring platform to the ring in violation of the rope and the rofetero showed Johnson backward as he stood up grimly over his fallen foe, ready to deliver with his terrible right and his nerve-racking left hand another blow which would have sent Jeffries well over the borders of dream-land THE CROWD IN AN UPROAR. There was an uproar in the stadium. The arena was the scene of object confusion. Men could be seen excitedly talking. The referee raised his hand and announced that Johnson had won the fight. There were cheers from Johnson's trainers and backers. Jack Johnson wore the golden amile now once again. In the moment Jeffries had been raised to the ropes heavily leashed against, the ropes heavily leaned against, ported by his trainers as he stood upright. But a few moments intervened when he was led away, while the crowd filed out of this great arena in the Far West. THE FIGHT ENDED Thus ended the great fight. We had seen here in Denver what we could see nowhere in the South land. The exclusion of these pictures in the various States was evidently due to the fact that it was not desired that the truth should be known. Many colored men believed though that Johnson would not win. Many of them lost money on Jeffries, but the great mass of them bet on Johnson and won thousands of dollars. Johnson he won money on himself and men won money on him. He had made good, and he was now the popular idol among his own people. Still, it was a risky thing for him in that great arena with white people from as far South as Texas and with foreigners from all over the world. WHITE MEN AND THEIR MONEY But white men's money was at stake and they were looking after their money and in doing this they must look after Jack Johnson first. It should not be overlooked, either, that Johnson would have been beaten had he been anywhere near the equal of James J. Jeffries. As the matter stood he was evidently far his superior in the fistic area. As a result of this bout, Jack Johnson is said to have cleared over two hundred thousand dollars, and a steady stream of money is still flowing into his coffees. We had to leave Denver at 10 o'clock that night, and it was nearing train time. We hurried. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. ON TO OMAHA. We met Mrs. George Burrell, who had come down to bid us good bye. We went into the Pullman Sleeping Car, and a few moments later waved a farewell as the train pulled out for Omaha, where we expected to arrive the next afternoon. As we walked out of the country the night time, we had a refreshing sleep and we were awake early the next morning as we crossed many States in our trip to the great Western motropolis. LANG LOSES ON FOUL London, Feb. 21c—Bill Lang, the ican negro golph, whom he moe Australian heavyweight, was no match for Sam Langford, the Ameri- a a scheduled twenty-round bout at Hugh McIntosh's club tolkhom. Langford won in the sixth round, when Lang was disqualified, but the contest could not have gone much longer, as Lang was almost out when he committed the foul. - Six thousand spectators gathered at the Olympia to witness what they expected would be a long and fast flight, and they showed great disappointment when the contest ended so abruptly. After six fierce rounds, when Langford was down, the Australian, in a dazed sort of way, rushed at the American and struck him, and immediately the referee proclaimed Langford the winner. LANG IS MUCH THE HEAVIER. The saying, "A good big man will always beat a good little man," proved a fallacy, for the Australian, with all his natural advantages, including an extra 52 pounds in weight, was hopelessly outclassed by the American fighter, who walked into him and hit him from all angles where and when he willed. Lang was all nerves. He seemed scared to death, and his disqualification was the best thing that could have happened, for he was so groggy that he was bound to have been put out if he had not trangressed. The only redoubling feature of Lang's showing was his gaminess in taking punishment. As early as the first round Sam punched him all over the ring. In the second the negro forced the Australian into a neutral corner; and dropped him for a count, of nine with terrific left and right swings to the law. WHITE MAN'S BYES BOTH CLOSED. Lang went down again for nine in the third round, from a right to the point of the jaw, but came back in the fourth and stood up and exchanged left and right swings with Langford at a terrific rate. At that period of the bout both of Lang's eyes were almost closed, and Langford was laughing. The Australian took a long count twice more in the fifth, but in spite of the heavy punishment he carried the fight to Langford the next time up and in a fast-in-fighting rally put him on a thin table. This was more by accident than anything else. Lang was greatly excited and pretty heavy by this time, and he rushed his opponent, striking him heartily before Langford could regain his foot. The purse were $17,500, and the receipts were $45,000, a record for a London fight GREAT BANQUET OF COLORED K. P. Ranooke Lodge, No. 51, colored Knights of Pythias, held its annual banquet last night in the dining room of Hotel Pierce. A large and representative gathering of colored people seated themselves about the two long tables and enjoyed the program and refreshments that the committee had provided. The tables were trimmed with long festoons of green and cut flowers, and presented a handsome picture arranged in excellent taste.

Address —Nelson's Hair Dressing can be secured from the Agent, Mr. Joseph Evans, 2002 Webster Avenue, Pittsburg, Pa. (Washington, D. C., Post, Feb. 16, 1911.) Mrs Mary Lacy, ot. 1502 Enoldl avenue, white wife of Wm. H. Lacy, a mulatto, who for years it is assorted has passed for a white man in the Capital, bounced the fate which brought them together last night at the Hope Mission 307 C street, northwest. Estranged by her colored alliance from her own people, a well-to-do family of Westmoreland county, Va., dislithered by her mother, and with her colored spouse committed to the workhouse at Occquan for three months for an alleged assault upon her, the woman and her five little ones have been reduced to destitution. The screaming of her children late last Monday night attracted a policeman to the Euclid avenue home. He found the wife's face bruised and her eyes almost closed, and arrested her husband. Lacy was arraigned, and yesterday he was sent to the workhouse for three months at the direction of Judge Pugh, in the police court. Following the hearing, the woman and her children were taken before Judge DoLacy, of the juvenile court, to the body of her little ones, declaring she could work and support them, but they were taken from her. Two were sent to St. John's Home, in Georgetown; two to the Florence Crittenton Mission, 218 Third street northwest, and the fifth went with the mother to the Hope Mission. 'LACY FORMERLY A BUTLER. The woman's story is that when she first met Lacy he was a butter in the home of a prominent Washington lawyer, where she was at service. He courted her there for nearly three years. She knew he had negro blood. She consented to marry him upon his promise to take her North where nobody would ever discover the secret of his birth. They were married in Philadelphia, and she left him immediately afterwards she said, to come to Washington until he found means to fulfill his promise. He followed her two weeks later and they have since lived together, a period of about twelve years. The eldest of the children is 10 years and the youngest 18 months old. DISCOVERED BY HER FAMILY. About two years after the marriage the woman's mother learned of the wedding through a publication of the license in an old Philadelphia newspaper. Her father was dead. The parent remembered having heard the daughter speak of the mulatto butler, Lacy. Soon came a letter from her denouncing and renouncing her and sovering all relations between them. About three years ago the mother died, after altering her will and cutting off the daughter with a legacy of $100. This sum was brought here and handed to her by a wealthy brother, who then, for the first time, came face to face with his mulatto brother-in-law. "See that you take good care of my sister," was all he said to Lacy. About three years ago, according to the woman, Lacy began to drink. Quarrels ensued, the wife alleging that she was often beaten. In her desire to hide her spouse's color, the woman bore everything. When asked last night whether her husband was a mulatto, she tried hard to evade the question, but at last admitted the assertion. TELLS HER LIFE STORY "I am so sorry it is out," she sobbed "A few Washington people have known it for years. Some who knew him as a mutilated died years ago, and I have hoped the day would come when none but ourselves would know the truth. When I met that man I knew he was colored, but a stranger would hardly notice it, he is so light. But I loved him at first sight. I knew it was wrong, and I have been sorry for it many a time, but I can tell you that love knows no color line. Yet I doubt if I would have married him but for his promise, to take me far away North. I must say he took good care of me until about three years ago." "He used to maintain a good home for me at 1502 Euclid avenue, and gave me servants. He would not let me do any work. He was a fine copyist, and used to make a good deal of money. He once offered to buy me an automobile, and he begged him not to do it. After he got off, his traveling capacity of course, diminished, and our home soon began to go to pieces. He has boasted me several times, but I was too proud to have him arrested. I was so afraid the truth about his color would some out." MUST GO TO COLORED HOME. With the children in white institutions, the Board of Children's Guardians is in a quandary. Judge Dolacy said yesterday that he had heard that Lucy was a mutuat, but the agent of the society was ignorant of it. It was stated yesterday afternoon that the children will be removed in a day or two to some other place, but the complicates the situation. It is expected she will strenuously oppose sending her tota to an institution for colored children. Whether her devotion to them will take her with them is a question. The woman is 32 years old, and her husband 33. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Last Thursday evening the Board of Directors met and much business of importance was accomplished. The attendance was large.

Experiments Show That It Will Increase Both Quality and Quantity of Fruit. Time and again the question is raised by doubters as to the adaptability of spraying fruit trees to prevent the ravages of insects and fungi, the argument being made that experiments by the government and the experiment stations in the various states have been on a small scale. In order to show the best kinds of spray, the proper time to spray and the best way to spray applies to prevent coding moth and curculio injury, the Missouri experiment station conducted a practical experiment upon a block of about twenty acres of Ingram apples in a large commercial Ozark apple orchard. Three early sprays resulted in 97.6 per cent picked apples from curculio crucens, while 45.5 per cent were damaged or the trees unsprayed. Of these apples 96.83 per cent were free from coddling moth worm holes, 14.5 per cent being infected on the trees unsprayed, and 97.4 per cent of the apples were free from both kinds of injuries as compared with 40.1 per cent from the unsprayed trees. The three early sprays by presenting windfalls also gave 45 per cent more picked apples than the unsprayed trees. It was found that the spraying and doubled the cash returns for the Healthy Fruit, Result of Spraying. crop, the net profit due to spraying amounting to $15.36 per acre, or $7 for every dollar expended for spraying. It is considered that three early sprays if thoroughly applied will be sufficient to control soil coddling moth and curculio under the average conditions similar to that of Missouri. Paris green was not quite so efficient as arsenate of lead and although used with every precaution seriously damaged the fruit by causing blackened areas about the blossom end, nearly one-fourth of the picked fruit being rejected from the first grade for this cause. The rains weather prevailing at the time nearly all the sprays were applied intensified the damage from the paris green but the adjoining block, treated similarly with arsenate of lead, failed to develop more than about 1 per cent of apples blackened at the blossom end. In the picked fruit sprayed with arsenate of lead 38 per cent bore either curculio crescents or coddling moth worm holes, while 107 per cent bore these injuries in the plot sprayed with paris green including both windfalls and picked fruit, 90 18 per cent in the arsenate of lead and 83 per cent in the paris green plot were free from these injuries. This difference in cases of heavy fields of high priced fruit is thought to justify the use of the lead, even though the cost of the paris green might be slightly less. EXTENSION TRUSS.

The sketch shows how each pair of legs is attached to a short block top having two bops made of strap iron, into which a long top piece can be inserted. In mulching strawberry beds, flower beds or trees and shrubs be careful to select a material for the mulch that will not "pack." A very satisfactory method which has been used on straw, sawdry and flower beds for several years is for first corrug the beds with a light kulch of cornstalks and then cover his with straw. For trees and shrubs its coarse manure, though the stalk and straw method is good. Such a pulch will give ample protection and retard necessary ventilation, without which the plants are sure to suffer. LIME AS A FERTILIZER Its Value Consulate Chiefly In the Retentive Power It Gives the Soll. The use of agricultural lime and its beneficial effects, particularly on sour soil lacking nitrogen and consequently difficult in plant food, is attracting the attention of soil experts and agricultural writers as are few other subjects at this time. In a great many sections where land is less productive than in more favored portions the lack of fertility is in a large measure due to the acidity of the soil. Experiments by the federal and state departments of agriculture have developed the fact that this can best be corrected by the application of lime and the growing of leguminous plants. Land which has been abandoned as practically worthless has been brought to a high state of productiveness in this manner, as pointed out in the state and government publications, which may be had for the asking. Lime is not used in place of manure or commercial fertilizers, its use being entirely supplementary and one of its chief advantages being the power which it gives soil to retain the manure or fertilizer applied to it. There are large deposits of lime rock in practically every section of the southeast, and its use for agricultural purposes has been the basis of the great fertility of the famous blue grass region of Kentucky, the great valley of Virginia, the fertile country of Tennessee, and northern Alabama, and other notably productive areas. EARLY TOMATOES. Yield Good Profit and Require Very Little Attention if Started Well. *Early tomatoes are universally regarded as one of the most profitable vegetables. The first few ripe specimens often more than pay for the growing of the large, fine plants which are necessary for the production of very early tomatoes. The culture of this crop does not require great skill, although proper conditions must be provided to make an early crop certain. The main essential after selecting a good variety is to grow strong, stocky plants, carrying blossoms or perhaps a few small green tomatoes when set in the field. This kind of plant should produce ripe tomatoes soon after the 1st of July in almost any section of the north. At this season of the year home grown tomatoes usually sell at high prices. The grower can generally count on not less than 0 to 8 cents per pound for well grown specimens. THE DORSET PEAR A Winter Fruit of Great Merit, Profit- able to Raise and Good to Eat. Among the many varieties of pears that are profitable to raise for ship- ment to market as well as good to cultivate for one's private use the Dorset should find particular favor with farmers in general The Dorset is a winter pear of much merit. They are very handsome, showy and excellent for winter and early spring. Sweet and Juicy. Although they ripen in February, they may be kept until May. In color they are a golden yellow with bright red cheeks, wherever kissed by the sun. They are large size, with juicy, sweet melting flesh of excellent quality Soils For Various Fruits In selecting a site for the orchard it is perhaps natural to make the mistake of choosing a soil which is in reality too rich and fat for the best production of apples. On such soil conditions seem to exist which tend to a production of wood rather than fruit growth, thus detecting the object one has in view. Pears will produce fruit on rich, moist soils, while peach trees should be set on the thinnest soil on the place. Fresh Manure Dangerous to Trees. When the old orchard is renewed the soil may probably receive a liberal application of well rotted manure. This should be applied only under the extremities of the branches and worked well into the soil. Fresh manure should not be applied. Ashes may be used in addition to the well rotted manure, or it may be thrown near the base of the tree to destroy many of the insects there.

Simplify it to its Keynote, and it Com- bines Chie and Useful- ness. Have you seen them? They are of wool-red or white usually—and they are knitted or crocheted loosely in the shape of tight fitting skating cape and in the weave once familiar in baby afghan. Sometimes they are perfectly plain; sometimes they are bordered with dark fur; sometimes at the left side they have a long quill-feather or kid or velvet-caught by a little half moon ornament, never anything more than that. Simplicity is their raison d'etre. Probably they won't live very long beyond this winter, but Paris has decreed them, and so this season they are quite the thing. In Paris they wore them first to the races—a little girl selling doll caps at the gates thought of them first, they say—and now they are seen everywhere that a tailored suit is in evidence. For country tramps or for any open air exercises they are ideal, since they fit closely over the hair, do not need hatpins and yet do not disarrange the coiffure. Moreover, no snow or rain can hurt them, and they are easily washable in cool water and ammonia, with a little suds of castle soap. Do not iron them, but wring them tight, roll them in a towel and let them dry. In other words, act just as in laundered sweaters. In fact, where they look best is with the long knitted coats that Paris sent over to us still earlier in the season. With a knitted skirt, coat, gloves, leggings and cap the winter girl is togged out completely, ready for any weather. FOR THE SMALL BOY. A Little Dress That Can Be Made Either Plain or Elaborate, According to Cloth Used. The boys of America are better dressed than those of any other country, for in Paris their clothes are overtrimmed and give them a decidedly gritish appearance, while in London the opposite extremes prevail and the average boys' suit is not even youthful in appearance. Profiting by these peculiarities, American mothers insist upon dressing their boys in garments that are both young and boyish, and so these neat, short slips are made in a style that is different from girls'. Following these lines, the little dress shown here will appeal to mothers because it is practical. If developed in tub goods, such as blue or brown linen, striped or figured percale, plainingham or chambray, it will be satisfactory for morning wear. A more dressy garment could be made from white plique or heavy cot poplin. The finish at the side front could be effectively accentuated by applying a 14 stitched band of the goods and the use of large flat pearl buttons. If this model is copied in woolen materials, French large, cashmere or mohair in either delft or navy blue it will be pretty. A band of the same goods in white should be arranged at the side. The advantage this design has over the others is that it is so plain it may be successfully cleaned or laundered when soiled. To copy it for a boy two years old one and one-half yards of goods thirty six inches in width will be needed. Crocheted Purse Here are simple directions for crocheting a purse with wool or silk. Commence with thirty-seven chain, always taking three chain to turn. Turn and work one treble in each chain, turn and continue the same till you have the required length. Remember that the work has to be doubled from beginning to end to form two sides. When you have the length desired, start decreasing one stitch at each and until all the stitches are done. This point forms the turnover flap. Double the work and sow neatly on the wrong side, turn back and saw a patent fastener to the under side of the flap, which fastens to the purse itself. If you wish to fasten the purse around your neck, fasten your thread at one end of the purse and work eighty chain and attach the opposite side. Buy a brass ring and double crochet around it, catching it into the crotchet chain in the center. Pass the cord to go around the neck through this ring and the purse is completed. A Dilemma.

Simpson" and at times sailing under other names has been persistently swirling both white and colored people in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News and Phoebus. His plan has been to represent that he has money in a colored bank in this city. He gets his victim to write to John Mitchell, Jr., President and tell him to send him six hundred and fifty dollars or some like amount at once to the person who is writing the letter or advancing him a small sum of money until he has gotten his money from Richmond. He alleges that he is captain of a sailing vessel, which according to his letters has been lost near Tibble Light off Buckroe Beach and as he has been carrying on this kind of awfulding for about two years, that boat is presumably wrecked every two or three weeks. He asks that the letter he sent to him in care of the person who advances the money. He never comes back to see if the money comes as he directs. We have written continuously to the people, who send these letters, but we have had quite a time to keep up with him. Keep clear of Captain John E. Simpson or anybody who looks like him.

A SENSATION SPRUNG. Up to the hour of going to press, Rev. Taylor, who is sick at his home, has not been heard from upon the proposition. Salary increases have always come through the Executive Board, and the impression sought to be conveyed is that ex-Grand Worthy Master Taylor increased his own salary. He has repeatedly said though that it was done by the official body authorized by the Grand Fountain. Another sensation was sprung when it was declared by a delegate that Thomas W. Taylor was an unbenefited member of the Order and that he was in arrears in the Real Estate Department. A committee was directed to investigate the charge and Mr. Taylor was asked to retire. He did so. The committee reported that he had not paid any dues since 1903, and during that time only $1.00 special assessment. This barred the cx-Superintendent of the Old Folks' Home from the meeting. Mr. Thomas W. Taylor was before one of the committees. It will be remembered that he was reported to be just nineteen hundred dollars short in his accounts. An agreement was reached by which the matter was to be arbitrated. The following statement taken from the report of Mr. C. L. Cooke, accountant, will prove to be interesting reading: ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT. To the Officers of the Grand Foun- dation, T. R., and Thomas W. Taylor; Gentlemen,—Having been mutually agreed upon by each of you to arbitrate the matter in question as to the standing of the accounts of Thos. W. Taylor, Chief of the Old Folks' Home as shown by the report of the committee appointed by the Grand Fountain, I beg leave to report that I have gone over very carefully the receipts and disbursements of the said Thomas W. Taylor, using the same books that the same committee based their findings on. In addition to this I verified the same by the books of the Savings Bank and found that they agreed in toto. HE FOUND MUCH I found that the committee charged Taylor with $553.16 cash on hand August 24, 1899, when in fact the account of the Old Folks' Home was overdrawn to the amount of $7.86. Your committee evidently took the figures covering the $553.16 from the books of the Grand Fountain, which was not correct. The Grand Fountain arriving at this balance by slump of $2,827.96 for the disbursements of $2,827.96 for the year ending August 12 for the year ending August 24, 1899, without taking into consideration the fact that the years previous they over drew their accounts or fell short to the amount of $561.02. FIGURES ARE CORRECT. These figures are absolutely correct, as they tally with the books of the Savings Bank Inasmuch as the committee started their account with Aug 29, 1999. It was but right and fair that Taylor should have gotten credit for the disbursements from that date to the time he actually took charge of the Home Receipts . . . $144,630.48 Disbursements . . . 123,866.99 Balance . . . $20,772.49 In view of the difference in my figures and those of the committees, I am compelled to infer that their figures were incorrect and not in accordance with the books of the Grand Fountain, from which they based their report. A WORD ABOUT DISCREPANCIES Now as to the discrepancies as reported by the committee on pages 14 and 15, I have to say the item of $134.36 charged against Taylor is not a 'oper charge'. These amounts were included in his report for the session closing on that date, and I found that he deposited in bank that day more money than the $134.36. The sunny small items on page 14 of the committees report, purporting to have been collected by the Finance Department, I do not find on Taylor's cash book, but as he claims the Finance Department has them and the Finance Department has not having any receipt from him for said amount cannot so how he can be charged with them. I do find that he failed to credit the $100.00 from the real estate department as of Sept. 28, 1907, and should be charged with the same. BOTH BOOKS LOST OR STOLEN. In regard to the shortages as shown by the committee from publications in the Reformer, it is evident that the committee simply took the mobilized donations from the General Office Employees and charged them to Taylor, without taking into consideration the total contributions and then giving him cred- it by the amounts on his cashbook. The charge of $99.45 as of Oct. 8, 1904, must be eliminated as Taylor's cash book of that date is either lost or stolen. On December 3, 1905, the Reformer* published $149.58 as the total donations, which included the amount given by the office forfeit. I find credits on his cash book to the amount of $147.57, leaving only a balance of $1.71. On November 3, 1906, the published donations amounted to $37.57, and I found credits on his cash book to the amount of $219.44, leaving a balance of $18.13. POINTS AT ISSUE. On June 29, 1907, the published donations were $9.66.65, and I found credits on his cash book for $3.95.55, leaving a balance of $7.70 and not $9.00, as reported by the committee. The $3.00 paid by Lucy Christian, $5.00 by C. H. Jackson and $4.00 by Spencer Dance are properly charged against Taylor. The commission of $2.50 charged Taylor by the committee. I will not attempt to pass upon as the Grand Fountain alone must determine the commission allowed on sale of the lots. THE QUESTION OF COMMISSIONS Also in regard to the $35.00 balance, charged against Taylor for the purchase of forfeited lot of R J Kryles, I fall to see the justice of this charge, as Taylor paid in cash all of the amount due, with interest, as shown by his cash book, and I am informed by the Chief of the G. F. at that time any one could do the same. Certainly the O. F. H. lost nothing by the transaction, as they recovered every dollar the lots sold for. The $43 paid by V. H. W. Giles and the $71 70 charged Taylor for supplies are proper charges and should be paid by him. In conclusion, I find that Taylor is indebted to the Old Folks' Home as follows: JUST ONE. JUST ONE. Yes, just one unserrupulous person will hold down a thousand good ones It is just the same with merchandise, a worthless article put on the market will not only kill itself in course of time, but will also prove a hindrance to many good articles. To overbalance this injustice it is the duty of every honest person to make known, as far as possible the injustice done an honest person or a portortorious article. Believing in the foregoing it affords the editor pleasure in speaking a word in behalf of Ford's Hair Pomade, an article that has been on the market for many years and, while there has been worthless imitations put out this article has lived and is bound to live after the worthless trash is consigned to the waste basket. Help a worthy cause, and when using a hair Pomade, use Ford's Hair Pomade.

C P. Whittlo, P. Q. KILLED FOR TEN CENTS Robert Patterson, colored, is dead as the result of a stab wound. In factlet's last Sunday morning by Henry, alias "Roddy," James, and the latter is a fugitive from justice, with police and detectives hot on his trail and telegrams being sent out to various points to which he might go. The murder occurred in a small house in what is termed Hargrove's Yard, near Twenty-seventh and Main streets, and was the result of a quarrel over money. It is said that James demanded of Patterson that he lend him 10 cents. The latter refused, and James is then allowed to have said: "If you don't lend me a dime I kill you." Patterson still refused, and James put his threat into execution, stabbing Patterson in the right side of his neck. Patterson walked a few steps and then fell and died on the street. Another negro approached James and asked him if he were not sorry for what he had done. "Yen," he reniled. "Before God I wish I hadn't killed him." want I didn't killed him. The city ambulance was called, but the man was dead before it had arrived. James escaped. (A Memorial) Another beacon star of life has set Behind the djm horizon of the Western Bad Ethiopia's weeping eyes are wet With tears of mourning for her loved and blest. In poverty she gave him to the earth And saw his, manly march to noble worth. In birth she gave him but a lowly place, And crooned to him in lullables of prayer While sorrow wrapped its shade about his race In darkened days of "hope de- ferred"—despair. Up from his cradle—lo, the oxen cart, He reared a throne within the human heart. He lived a Joseph to the cause of right; A Daniel prayed he in the evil's dien; His glowing soul illumined the blackest night And lied its glory, in the lives of men. Beside the way where trod his faith- ful feet Fair illy virtues blossomed pure and sweet. Upon a well-won prestige he arose Into the honors of the favored few; The Christian path of righteousness he chose Led to the graces of the God he knew. Fond Admiration grasped his busy hand— He stood among the leaders of the land. His life was love. His sympathies were spread Unto all breathing beings every- where; He never withheld his shelter or his bread From any who would ask of him a share. Against all wrong he strove to have it cause That in its place might grow the Palm of Peace The moon of memory lays its beauty beams Upon the breathless silence of his grave. The sun of earth has caught the gold den glenums That twinkle from the many joys he gave. Behind the veil of evening—he is three. Now safe from every gnawing need or care But when the sainted dead shall rise again Transfigured in his robe he'll stand—AMEN Lucian B Watkins. BIRTHDAY PARTY. A crowd had assembled in the parlor at the home of Mr and Mrs Lofthouse, awaiting the arrival of the latter from a theatre party. The birthday party given at home by Mr Lofthouse and daughter. Annu, was a surprise to Mrs. Lofthouse. Mrs. Bartimeus Franklin and Mrs James Osborne offended his hostess the table in the dining room was spared.

FROM LOS ANGELES, CAL Shooting Caused Instant Death. Frank Harrison, an employee of the Boyle Heights Express Company, was shot and instantly killed at the corner of Second and Los Angeles streets. Feb. 14th, about 4:30 o'clock P.M. Mr. Harris, on coming out of the office, at 211 East Second street, was confronted by an elderly white-man, supported by crutches, who asked him for fifteen cents, and when Mr. Harris smiled and started on his way toward Los Angeles street, the man suddenly drew a pistol and began shooting, striking his victim four times. Harris made a few steps forward, then fell dead. Mr. Harris had been in the employ of the Boyle Heights Express Company for the past three years. He resided at 211 Lindon st et. He was a man of about forty-two years of age. He leaves a wife and child to mourn their loss. The white man was rushed into a nearby barber shop by a crowd of whites that were standing around and hold there until the arrival of an officer. His only reason, given to the police captain, for the shooting was that he wanted to see Harris fall. He claims to have come to this city about five months ago. He gave his name as John Cheoke. Bishop Grant, who passed away a few weeks ago, willed to his private secretary, Miss Boula Brunson, the sum of $8 000. Miss Brunson proved very faithful in performing her duty to the end. Mr. J. L.

Prof. G Vincent Spencer, bottor known as the Silver Tongued Orator of the West, was with us Sunday, Feb. 5. He preached two encouraging sermons; also induced the Evening Star Horald to join and be with Prof. A. B. Rawser, our teacher and his school on the 17th instant, which will be observed as Temperance-Day throughout the State of Alabama. Professor Spencer also insigned the members of Evening Star to make their pastor, Rev. D. G. Brox, a subscriber to The Planet. The people of this community will learn with genuine regret that Rev. O. Paul Thompson, the energetic pastor of Cedar Street Baptist Church of this city, has resigned his charge and will take charge of a larger church in New Jersey. He is now in Newark. Roy. Thompson did a great work during his brief stay in this locality, and by his Christian conduct and sterling integrity made many friends among both the white and colored people. He is a gentleman of his word and his record is such that he will be received with open arms, should be sent to return again to this community. ```markdown ``` REV. O. PAUL, THOMPSON RESIGNS.

But now that have seen it, I cannot find word with which to express my surprise and gratification. It is far beyond anything that I had expected to see. As I walked through you grounds today my heart filled with pride to find what had been accomplished by a single man in so shor a time. It is an object lesson to me which I shall never forget, and I am only sorry that I waited until the evening of my life to see what has been done here. It has been an inspiration to me, and when I return home I intend to send my son and my grandchildren here that they may get the same inspiration etaone may get the same inspiration that I have." He said it was a mistake to asume as had been so long the case that work was a curse. "Work," he said, "has now become the blessing of the world. There is no greater happiness than that obtained through honest work. I do not pity you for your hardships; I envy you for the opportunities you have her."
