KLEMIDOND PRAYER THE TWO PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES COLONEL ROOSEVELT IN STRENUOUS MOOD Photo copyright, 1912, by American Press Association. MRS. KEELER BREAKS LONG SILENCE. A White Lady's Plea Memorial Day and Its Lessons The Nation's Indifference. DECORATION DAY 1912. To day is the day above all others when the nation is reminded of those who gave their lives for their country. It is but right that a national Memorial Day should be observed to pay tribute to the soldiers and sailors who died in defense of the Union. But in all this show of beautiful flowers, fine speeches, etc. it comes to my mind that there have been some who have been equally as loyal, equally as self-sacrificing and some who have laid down their lives for the same cause of freedom, but are forgotten. In a quiet little town in Connecticut there lie the remains of my maternal grandfather who fought in the American Revolution. No suffering was too great for him to face. Had he fallen at Quebec as Montgomery fell when "the bloodstained snow trodden by the hurrying tramp of feet, the corpses piled in heaps beneath the barrier, the groans and screams of the wounded as they tried to crawl away for shelter from the howling of the storm, made a sickening scene of horror," those lines would never be written. If I speak and write plainly is it not because I have a right to do so? Is it any wonder that I have been a life-long hater of every form of oppression? Today my mind turns away from the civil war which I remember so distinctly, even trying to keep out of mind one of my own kin who perished at Andersonville. There comes to mind the Boston Massacre of March 5, 1770, which was regarded as the first act in the drama of the American Revolution. "From that moment," said Daniel Webater, "we may date the severance of the British Empire." The presence of the British soldiers on King street excited the indignation of Boston's citizens. Who was the first to present this intrusion? It was Crieb Robert E. Garrett Dead Louisa, May 31.—Robert Esmond Garrett, son of Robert and Clemmie Garrett, and youngest of four brothers died at his home here at 8:25 A. M. May 14th after six months illness. Esmond was twenty years, one month and eight days old. He joined the First Baptist Church when he was ten years old.

Therefore be it Resolved that while we humbly bow to the will of Him who doeth all things well, we his mother, father and three brothers feel deeply sorrowful to be separated by the broken ties that so recently bound our affection.

PRESIDENT TAFT EMPHASIZING A POINT Photo copyright, 1912, by American Press Association THE COLORED PYTHIANS WIN. United States Supreme Court Renders Important Decision.--Colored Men Can No Longer be Persecuted.--Relief After Long Struggle. The Georgia case as it is known, has been pending in the state and federal courts for many years. It was caused by the effort of the Grand Lodge: Knights of Pythias of Georgia, N. A., S. A., E., A. A. and A. to incorporate. The white Grand Lodge sued out a writ of prohibition or injunction to restrain them from so doing. The Judge dismissed the writ, but the white knights appealed the case to the Supreme Court where the judge was reversed and the case remanded for a new hearing. The Supreme Court of Georgia had the case again on appeal and from that tribunal it went to the Supreme Court of the United States. STATE LEGISLATURES ACTED In the meantime, the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias of the World took notice of the affair and bills were introduced in state legislatures prohibiting colored men from using similar, lodge emblems and names of white secret orders. The law was passed in North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia Ohio and even in Michigan. Suits were instituted in these states and much expense entailed up on the Grand Lodges. The Supreme Lodge, colored, raised funds for the defense and under the management of Supreme Attorney S. A. T. Watkins thousands, of dollars were spent in the litigation with a martial array of white counsel on both sides under contract. SUPREME ATTORNEY'S TELEGRAM. It was believed that inasmuch as the colored Knights of Pythias or rather their Supreme Lodge was in corporated under the laws of the United States, that if the Supreme Court of the United States could be induced to assume jurisdiction, the rest would be easy. This seems to have been correct. The following telegram explains itself: John Mitchell, Jr. Mechanics' Savings Bank Richmond, Va. I am advailed by wire that we won the Georgia case before the Supreme Court of the United States. Will advise you later of details. S. A. T.

SYNOPSIS The great steamer Titan, supposed to be unmistakable, starts across the Atlantic. Rowland, once a Heustant, now a common sailor, meets his old love Myra. She hirsutus and child. The Titan cips a ship two and three captains favors to conceive the crew. Rowland observes a captain gives him whisky, so that he may attempt to murder her child. FORTY FIVE thousand tons dead weight, pushing through the fog at the rate of fifty feet a second, had hurled itself at an iceberg. Had the impact been reduced to a perpendicular wall the elastic resistance of bending plates and frame would have overcome the momentum with no more damage to the passengers than a voyage shaking up and to the ship than the crashing in of the boats and the killing to a train of the watch below. She would have looked off and slightly down by the boat she shed the voyage at reduced speed to be pulled out of the calm money and to attack largely in the end by the enormous subterranean of her indestructibility. But a low beach, possibly formed by the recent overturning of the船, received the Titan, and with her load cutting the ice like the thunder of an ebulent and her weight resting on the starboard side she rose out of the ocean, and had until the propellers in the ocean were half exposed, then moving most slowly in the low water for her boat she hoaked overfilled and crashed down on her able to starboard. A soil, pymmold like hammock of ice, left to startboard as the amount assembled, and which projected close alongside the upper or float deck as the full floor, had caught in succession every pair of davits to startboard, peeling and wrenching them, smashing points and snapping tackles and grips, until as the ship cleared herself, it capped the pile of wreckage, strewing the ice in front of and around it with the end and broken stanchions of the bridge. And in this shattered, box-like structure, dazed by the sweeping fall through an arc of seventy foot radius, crunched Rowland, bleeding from a cut in his head and still holding to his breast the little girl, now too frightened to cry. By an effort of will be grounded himself and looked. To his righty, twisted and fixed to a shorter focus by the drug he had taken, the stealthiness was little more than a branch on the moon whitened fog, yet he thought he could see them clambering and working on the upper days, and the nearest beat-No. 24—seemed to be swerving by the tackles. Then the fog shut her out, though her position was still inflected by the roaring of steam from her iron lungs. This censed in time, leaving behind it the horrid humming sound and whistling of air, and when this, too, was suddenly finished and the ensuing silence broken by chill, leaving breaths, she from bursting compartments, Howard knew that the hollow stems complete; that the invincible Titon, with nearly all of her people, unable to climb vertical floors and cellings, was beneath the surface of the sea. Mechanically his benumilied faculties had received and recorded the impressions of the last few moments. He could not comprehend to the full the horror of it all. Yet his mind was keenly alive to the peril of the woman whose appealing voice he had heard and recognized—the woman of his dream and the mother of the child in his arms. He hastily examined the wreckage. Not a boat was intact. Creeping down to the water's edge, he battled, with all the power of his weak voice, to possible but invisible boats beyond the fog, calling to them to come and save the child, to look out for a PETER H. He removed the coat, trembled wrapped the little arm in it, and with the inscription "the friend of the fellow" pressed on the corner of the beliefer, waving on the foreward side. As he stood on the foreward side, he out of the pocket, it seemed to be a small coat of fur. If the person was a recipient of a letter of congratulation before the inscription, it was a small handkerchief. They had been in love for a long time. Will keep it in the material it may be built in, and maintain it well used it to the best of its power. The plan it has a corner that encircles the canvas cover of the work, the worked beds, being built over the open side and end of the truss the work within and defined to a ready made shop cloth that is designed for a larger man and attaching it around blind end and the little gateway down on the left workbench. She was still crying but the man under the influence of the man of his body, ceased and went to sleep. Ullrich in a corner, he gave himself up to the torment of his thoughts. Two pictures admirably crowded his mind one that of the woman of his dream entreaturing him to come back, which his memory clung to as an oracle the other of the woman cold and lifeless fathoms deep in the sea. He pondered on her changes. She was close to or on the bridge steps. The boat, 24, which he was almost sure was being drained as ice locked, would ewing close to her as it descended. She could climb in and he saved unless the swimmers from doors and hatches should swamp the boat. And in his agony of mind he cured these swimmers, preferring to see her mentally the only passenger in the boat, with the watch on desk to pull her to safety. The patient dug he had taken was still at work and, with the medical awash of the sea on the leach beach and the muffled cracking and cracking beneath and around him the voice of the beetles overtime him finally, and he slept to wake at daylight with limbs stiffened and tumbled almost frozen. And all night as he slept a boat with the No. 21 on her how, pulled by sturdy sailors and steered by brays buttoned officers, was making for the southern lane the highway of spring trail. He had left in the small sheets of the boat was a morning, praying women, who cared and screamed at intervals for highland and baby and would not be comforted, even when one of the brays buttoned officers assured her that her child was safe in the care of John Rowland, a brave and trusty sailor, who was certainly in the other boat with it. He did not tell her, of course, that Rowland had hated from the berg as she lay unconscious and that if he still had the child it was with him there deserted. Rouland, with some misgivings, drank a small quantity of the liquor and, wrapping the still sleeping child in the coat, stepped out on the ice... The fog was gone, and a blue, silene sea stretched out to the horizon. Behind him was ice—a mountain of it. He climbed the elevation and looked at another stretch of vapour view from a prepare a hundred feet high. To his left the ice船 to a steeper beach than the one behind him, and to the right a pile of hummocks and taller peaks, interpersed with numerous canyons and caves and glistening with waterfalls, shut out the horizon in this direction. Norwhere was there a salt or steamer's smoke to cheer him, and he retreated his steps. When but huffily to the wreckage he saw a moving white object approaching from the direction of the peaks. His eyes were not yet in good condition, and after an uncertain security he started at a run, for he saw that the mysterious white object was near the bridge itself and rapidly bossing the distance. A hundred yards away his heart bebound and the blood in his feet felt cold as the ice linder feet for the white object proved to be a tracer from the frozen north, lean and fledbed in a poor bear, who had scorned food and was working it coming out of a binistering run, with great red hair, half open and yellow fangs exposed. Bearkind and no weapon on but a strong workman, but this be pulled for his pocket and opened as he ran. Not for an instant did he hostage at a court that promised almost certain death for the presence of this bear involved the safety of a child whose life had become of more importance to him than his own. To historians, he saw it steep out of the opening in his white covering, just as the bear turned the corner of the bridge. "Go back, baby, go back!" he shouted as he bounded down the slope. The bear rattled the child first and with seeming joy so excited dashed it, with a blow of its massive paw, a dozen feet away, where it lay quiet. Turning to follow, the turtle was met by Rowland. down and charged, and Rowland felt the tension of his left arm cramping under the title of the big yellow fanged jaws. But, failing, he bited the knife blade in the shurgy hole, and the heart, with an angry sniff, spout out the unmasked member and dealt him a sweeping brow with sent him farther along the toe than the child had gone. He screamed with broken tits, and scarcely feeling the pain, awaived the second charge. Again was the crushed and peless arm gripped in the yellow sise, and again was he pressed backward, but this he used the knife with method. The great snout was pressing his breast, the hot, fetid breath was in his nostril, and at his shoulder the hungry eyes were glaring into his own. He struck for the left eye of the brute and struck true. The five inch blade went in to the animal, pleuring the brain, and the animal, with a convulsive spring which carried him half way to his feet by the wounded arm, reared up, with paws outstretched, to full eight feet of length, then engaged down and with a few spasmolike clocks lay elk. Rowland had done what no Inmatt hunter will attempt—he had fought and killed the tiger of the north with a knife. It had all happened in a minute, but in that minute he was crippled for life, for in the quiet of a hospital the best of surgical skill could hardly avail to reset the fractured particles of bone in the limp arm and bring to place the crushed rib. And he was adrift on a floating island of ice, with the temperature near the freezing point, and without even the rude appliances of the savage. He painfully made his way to the little pile of red and white and lifted it with his uninjured arm, though the stooping caused him exerting torture. The child was bleeding from four deep, cruel injuries, extending diagonally from the right shoulder down the back, but he found upon examination that the soft, yielding bones were unbroken and that her unconscious came from the rough contact of the little forehead with the ice, for a large hump had raised. Of pure necessity his first efforts must be made in his own behalf, so wrapping the bangy, in his cont he placed it in his shelter and cut and made from the canvas a pling for his dangling arm. Then, with knifes, nugers and teeth, he partly skinned the bear often complied to pounce to save himself from fainting with pain and cut from the warm but not very thick layer of fat a breed club, which, after bathing the wounds at a nearby pool, he bound firmly to the little one's back, using the four nightgown for a band age. He cut the channel lining from his coat and from that of the sleeves made neither garments for the little limbs, doubling the surplus length over the ankles and tying in place with rope yarns from a boat lacing. The body lining be wrapped around her waist, including the arms, and around the whole be paused turn upon turn of canvas in strips, marling the mummy-like bundle with yarns much as a called babies during their first doubled parts of a hawk—a process, when complete, that would have around the indication of any mother who saw it. But he was only a man and suffering mental and physical anguish. By the time he had finished the child had recovered consciousness and was protesting its misery in a feeble, walling cry. But he dared not stop, to become stiffened with cold and pain. There was plenty of fresh water from melting ice, scattered in pools. The bear would furnish food, but they need A Rowland Felt the Bone of His Left Arm Crushing Under the Bite. If fire to cook this food, keep them warm and the dangerous inflammation from their hurts and to raise a smoke to be seen by passing craft. He rocklessly drank from the bottle needing the stimulant and reasoning perhaps rightly, that no ordinary drug could affect him in this present condition. Then he examined the wreckage most of it good blinding worm. Partly above, partly below the pile, was a steel lifebelt, designed over airtight ends, now demolished to more than a right angle and resting on its side. With canvases lunging over one half and a small fire in the other, it promised, by its conducting property, a warmer and better shelter than the bridge. A sailor without matches is an ammonia. He whistled, shivings, skilled the fire bringing the canvas and brought the child who begged pitiously for a drink of water. He found a thin can possibly left in a leaky boat before its time to hold to the davies, and gave him a drink, to which he had added a few drops of the whisky. Then he thought of breakfast. Cutting a stork from the blind quarters of the bear, he boasted it on the end of a spitter and found it sweet and satisfying, but when he attempted to feed the child he understood the necessity of feeding its arms, which he did, coaxing his off shirt sleeve to cover them. The humble and the food stopped its going for awhile, and how laid boy down with it in the warm boat. Before the day had passed the whisky was gone and he was delicious with fever, while the child was but lit the batter. CHAPTER V. Marconed on an Iceberg ITH. local intervals, during which he replenished or re-built the fire cooked the heart meat and fat and dismeasured the wounds of the child, this delirium lasted three days. His suffering was intense. His arm, the sent of throbbing pain, had swollen to twice the natural size, while his side prevented his taking a full breath voluntarily. He had paid no attention to his own hurts, and it was either the tiger of a constitution, that years of dissipation had not impaired or some anti-febrile property of the bear meat or the absence of the exciting whisky that won the battle. He rekindled the fire with his last match on the evening of the third day and looked around the darkening horizon, same, but feeble in body and mind. If a nail had appeared in the inferm he had not seen it, nor was there one in sight too. Too weak to climb the slip, he returned to the boat, where the child, exhausted from fruitless crying, was now sleeping. His unskilful and rather heroic manner of wrapping it up to protect it from cold had no doubt contributed largely to the closing of its wounds by forcefully keeping it still, though it must have added largely to its present sufferings. He looked for a moment on the wan, rear stained little face, with its fringe of tingled curls peeping above the wrinklings of canvas, and, stooping painfully down, kissed it softly, but the kiss awakened it and it cried for its mother. He could not soothe it, nor could he try, and with a formless, wordless curse against destiny welling up from his heart he left it and sat down on the wreckage at some distance away. "We'll very likely get well," he hoped proximity, "unless I let the fire go out. What then? We can't last longer than the berg and not much longer than the boat. We must be out of the tracks. We were about 600 miles out when we struck, and the current sticks to the fog belt here, about west south-west—but that's the skiffage water. These deep follows have currents of their own. There's no fog. We must be to the southward of the belt—between the lanes. They'll run their boats in, the other lane after this. I thikk—the money grabbing wretches. Curse them if they'd drowned her. Curse them, with their water tight compartments and their logging of the lookouts. Twenty-four boats for 3,000 people, insashed down with tarred gripe hullings, thirty men to clear them away and not an ax on the boat deck or a sheath knife on a man. Could also have got away? If they got that boat down, they might have taken her in from the steps, and the mate know I had her child. He would tell her. Her name must be Myra too. It was her voice I heard in that dream. That was haweshack. What did they drug me for? But the whisky was all right. It's all done with now unless I get ashore, but will it? The moon rose above the castellated structure to the left, flooding the ice beach with ashen gray light, sparkling in a thousand points from the cancades, streams and rippling pools, throwing into blackest shadow the guilies and hollows and bringing to his mind in spite of the world beauty of the scene a crushing sense of loneliness—of littleness—as though the vast pile of inorganic desolation which held him was, of far, greater importance than himself and all the hopes, plans and fears of his lifetime. The child had cried itself to sleep again, and he paced up and down the ice. "Up there," he said mollify, looking into the sky, where a few stars above faintly in the food from the moon—"up there—somewhere—they don't know just where—but somewhere up above, is the Christmas heaven. Up there is their good God, who has placed Myrna's child here—their good God and down below us, somewhere again, are their hell, and their bad God, whom they invented themselves. And they give us our choice—heaven or hell. It is not so—not so. The great mystery is not solved. The human heart is not helped in this way. No good, mereful God created this world or its conditions. Whatever may be the nature of the causes at work beyond our mental vision, one fact is indubitably proved: that the qualities of mercy, goodness, justice, play no part in the government scheme. And yet they say the core of all religions on earth is the belief in this. Is it, or is it, cowardly, his man fear of the unknown that impels the savage mother to throw her baby to a crocodile, that impels the civilized man to endowurdness that has kept in existence from the beginning a class of soulsayers, medicine men, priests and chrysanthes, living on the hopes and fears excited by themselves? "And people pray millions of them—and when they are answered, Are they? Was ever supplication sent into that sky by treated humanity, answered or even heard? Who knew? They pray for rain and sunshine, and both come in time. They pray for health and success, and both are but natural in the marching of events. This is not evidence. But they gay that they know by spiritual upbringing, that they are heard and comforted and answered at the moment. Is not this a phylogenical experiment? Would they not feel equally triumphant if they reported the multiplication table or boxed the compass? "Milions have believed this that peaceers are answered and these millions have prayed to different gods. Were they all wrong or all right? Would a to have prayer be listened to? Admitting that the 'Bibles and Kormas and Vesels are misleading and unrealistic may there be be an unseen, unknown being who knows my A man walking on a beach. Bark ahoy! Bark ahoy! Take us off! heart, who is watching me now? If so, this being gave me my reason, which doubts him, and on him is the responsibility. And would this being, if he exists, overlook a defect for which I am not to blame and listen to a prayer from me based on the mere chance that I might be mistaken? Can an unbeliever, in the full strength of his reasoning powers, come to such trouble that he can no longer stand alone, but must cry for help to an imagined power? Can such time come at a same man to me?" He looked at the dark line of vacant horizon. It was seven miles away; New York was 100, the moon in the east over 200,000 and the stars above any number of billions. He was alone with a sleeping child, a dead bear and the unknown. He walked softly to the boat and looked at the little one for a moment; then, raising his head, he whispered, "For you, Mira." Shaking to his knees the attentive lifted his eyes to the heavens, and with his feeble voice and the fervor born of helplessness prayed to the God that he denied. He begged for the life of the waffl in his care, for the safety of the mother, so needful to the little one, and for courage and strength to do his part and bring them together. But beyond the appeal for help in the service of others not one word or expression thought of his prayer included himself as a benefactor. So much for pride. As he rose to his feet the flying jib of a bark appeared around the corner of ice to the right of the bench, and a moment later the whole moonlit fabric came into view, waffled along by the falst westerly air, not half a mile away. He sprang to the fire, forgetting his pain, and, throwing on wood, made a blaze. He hated in a frenzy of excitement, "Bark ahoy." Bark ahoy. Take A rather marginally furnished private office in Thirandseede street, partitioned off from a larger one bearing Mr. Meyer's name in the window, received the two men, one of whom, in the interests of good business, was soon to be impoverished. They had not waited a minute before captain Bryce and Mr. Austen were announced and ushered in. Steek, well fed and gentlemanly in manner, perfect types of the British naval officer, they bowed politely to Mr. Selfridge when Mr. Meyer introduced them as the captain and first officer of the Titan and seated themselves. A few moments later brought a shrewd looking person whom Mr. Meyer addressed as the attorney for the stamina company, but did not introduce, for such are the amenities of the English system of castle. he off." And a deep toned answer came across the water. "Wake up, Myra," he cried as he lifted the child. "Wake up. We're going away." "We goin' to mamma?" she asked, with no symptoms of crying. "Yes, we're going to mamma now—that is," he added to himself, "if that clause in the prayer is considered." Fifteen minutes later, as he watched the approach of a white quarter boat, he muttered: "That bark was there, half a mile back in this wind, before I thought of praying. Is that prayer answered? Is she safe?" On the first floor of the London Royal Exchange is a large apartment studded with desks, around and between which surges a hurrying, shouting crowd of brokers, clerks and messengers. Fringing this apartment are doors and hallways leading to adjacent rooms and offices, and sentered through it are bulletin boards, on which are daily written in duplicate the marine casualties of the world. At one end is a raised platform, sacred to the presence of an important functionary. In the technical language of the "city," the apartment is known as the "room" and the functionary as the "caller," whose business it is to call out in a mighty sing song voice the names of members wanted at the door and the bare particulars of bulletin news prior to its being chalked out for reading. It is the headquarters of Lloyd's—the immense association of underwriters, brokers and shipping men which, beginning with the customers at Edward Lloyd's coffee house in the latter part of the seventeenth century, has, retaining his name for a title, developed into a corporation so well equipped, so splendidly organized and powerful, that kings and ministers of state appeal to it at times for foreign news. Not a master or mate sells under the English flag but whose record, even to forensic fights, is tabulated at Lloyd's for the inspection of prospective employers. Not a ship is cast away on any inhabitable coast of the world during underwriters' business hours but what that mighty singing cry announces the event at Lloyd's within thirty minutes. One of the adjoining rooms is known as the chart room. Here can be found in perfect order and sequence, each on its roller, the newest charts of all nations, with a library of nautical literature describing to the last detail the harbors, lights, rocks, shoals and sailing directions of every coast line shown on the charts; the tracks of latest storms, the changes of ocean currents and the whereabouts of derelicts and leftovers. A member at Lord's acquires in time a theoretical knowledge of the sea seldom exceeded by the men who navigate it. Another apartment, the captain's room, is given over to joy and refreshment, and still another, the antithesis of the last, is the intelligence office, where anxious ones inquire for and are told the latest news of this or that overdue ship. On the day when the assembled throng of underwriters and brokers had been thrown into an uprairous pane the elder announcement that the great Titan was destroyed and the japans of Europe and America were issuing extrax giving the merger details of the arrival at New York of one boat of her people this office had been occupied with weeping women and worrying men, who would ask and remain to ask again for more news. And when it came a later entitlement giving the story of the wreck and the names of the captain first officer, beatswain, seven sailors and one lady passenger as those of the saved a feeble old gentleman had raised his voice in a quarring scream, high above the soliding of women, and said. "My daughter in law, is safe, but where is my son, where is my son, and my grandchild?" Then he had hurried away, but was back again the next day, and the next. And when, on the tenth day of waiting and watching, he learned of another boat bad of sailors and children arriving at Gibraltar, he shook his head slowly, muttering "George, George," and left the room. That night, after telegraphing the coneat at Gibraltar of his coming, he crossed the channel. In the first tumultuous riot of inquiry, when underwriters had climbed over decks and each other to hear again of the wreck of the Titan, one the noisiest of all, a corpulent, hook nosed man with flashing black eyes had broken away from the crowd and made his way to the captain's room, where, after a draft of brandy, he had seated himself heavily with a groan that came from his soul. "Father Abraham," he muttered; "this will ruin me." Others came in, some to drink, some to condoe, all to talk. to console, all to talk. "I hit hard, Meyer!" asked one. "Ten thousand," he answered, gloomily. "Serves you right," said another unkindly. "Have more baskets for your eggs. Knew you'd bring up." Though Mr. Meyer's eyes sparkled at this, he said nothing, but drank himself stupid and was assisted home by one of his clerks. From this on, neglecting his business, excepting to occasionally visit, the bulletins, he spent his time in the captain's room, drinking heavily and beaming his luck. On the tenth day he read with watery eyes, posted on the bulletin below the news of the arrival at Gibraltar of the second boat load of people, the following: "Life buoy of Royal Age, London, picked up among wreckage in latitude 45.20, north longitude 54.31 west. Ship Arctic, Boston, Captain Brandt." "Oh, mine good God!" he howled as he rushed toward the captain's room. "Poor devil! Poor fool!" said one observer to another. "He covered the whole of the Royal Age and the biggest chunk of the Titan. It'll take his wife's diamonds to settle." Three weeks later Mr. Meyer was arrested from a brooding lethargy by a crowd of shouting underwriters, who rushed into the captain's room, seized him by the shoulders and hurried him out and up to a bulletin. "Hired it. Meyer! Read it! What drew think of it." With some dill easily be read aloud, while they watched his face: "John Rowland, sailor of the Titan, with child passenger, name unknown, on board Pearlman, Bath, at Christianae, Norway. Both dangerously ill. Rowland speaks of ship in half night before loss of Titan." "What do you make of it, Meyer? Royal Age, isn't it?" asked one. "Yes," vociferated another. "I've figured back. Only ship not reported lately. Overdue two months. Was spoken same day fifty miles east of that iceberg." "Sure thing," said others. "Nothing said about it in the captain's statement. Looks queer." "Vell, what of it?" said Mr. Meyer painfully and stupidly. "Dere is col- a. Boussé "Read it, Meyer, Read it." Bison clause in der Titan's policy. "I merely buy the money to der steamship company instead of to der Royal Age people." "But why did the captain conceal it?" they shouted at him. "What's his object, assured against collision suits?" "Her looks of it, perhaps Looks bad." "Nonsense, Meyer! What's the matter with you? Which one of the best tribes did you spring from? You're like none of your race drinking yourself self stupid like a good Christian. I've got a thousand on the Titan, and if I'm to pay it I want to know why. You've got the heaviest risk and the brain to fight for it. You've got to do it. Go home, straighten up and attend to this. We'll watch Rowland till you take hold. We'll all caught." They put him into a cab, took him to a Turkish bath and then home. The towt morning he was at his desk, clear eyelid and clear headed, and for a few weeks was a busy, schenling man of business. The Return of Rowland In a certain morning about two months after the announcement of the loss of the Titan Mr. Meyer sat at his desk in the rooms barely writing when the old gentleman who had bowled the death of his son in the intelligence of love lettered in and took a chair beside him. "Good morning, Mr. Selfridge," he said, scarcely looking up. "I suppose you have come to see her insurance paid over. Her sixty days are up." "Yes, yes, Mr. Meyer," said the old gentleman weekly. "Of course as gently as a stockholder I can take no active part. But I am a member here and naturally a little anxious. All I had in the world, even to my son and grandad, was in the Titan." "It is very sad, Mr. Selfridge. You have my deepest sympathy. I believe you are the largest holder of Titan stock, about 100,000, is it not?" "I am der heaviest insurer. So Mr. Selfridge this battle will be largely between you and myself." "Battle: Is there to be any difficulty?" asked Mr. Selfridge anxiously. eulty?" asked Mr. Selfridge anxiously. "Herhaps; I do not know. Der underwriters and outside companies have blinded matters in my hands and will not buy until I take der initiative. We must hear from one John Rowland, who, with a little child, was rescued from der berg and taken to Christian-sand. He has been too sick to leave der ship which found him and is coming up, der Thames in her this morning. I have a carriage at der dock and expect him at my office py noon. Here is where we will dransact this little pizness, not here. "A child saved!" queried the old gentleman. "Dear me! It may be lit the myra. She was not at Gibraltar with the others. I would not care-I would not care much about the money if she was safe. But my son, my only son, is gone, and Mr. Meyer I am a ruined man if this insurance is not paid." "And I am a ruined man if it is," said M. Meyer, rising. "Will you come around to the office, Mr. Selfridge? I expect her attorney and Captain Bryce are done now." Mr. Selfridge and accompanied him to the street. "Now, then, gentlemen," said Mr. SATURDAY... JUNE 15, 1912 there." Meyer, "I believe we can broceed to plains up to a certain point—herhaps further. Mr. Thompson, you have the affidavit of Captain Bryce." "I have," said the attorney, producing a document which Mr. Meyer glanced at and handed back. "And in this statement, captain," he said, "you have sworn that der voyage was unseventful up to der moment of der wreck—that is," he added with an oolly smile as he method the piling of the captain's face, "that nothing occurred to make der Titan less seaworthy or manageable." "That is what I swore to," said the captain with a little sigh. "You are part owner, are you not, Captain Bryce?" "I own five shares of the company's stock." "I have examined der charter and der company lists," said Mr. Meyer. "Each boat of der company is, so far an assessments and dividends are concerned, a separate company. I find you are listed as owning two sixty-seconds of der Titan stock. This makes you, under der law, part owner of der Titan and responsible as such." "What do you mean, sir, by that word responsible?" said Captain Bryce quickly. For answer Mr. Meyer elevated his black eyebrows, assumed an attitude of listening, looked at his watch and went to the door, which as he opened admitted the sound of carriage wheels. "In here," he called to his clerks, then faced the captain. "What do I mean, Captain Bryce?" he thundered. "I mean that you have concerned in your sworn statement all reference to der fact that you collided with and sunk the ship Royal Age on der night before the wreck of your own ship." "Who says so? How do you know it?" blustered the captain. "You have only that bulletin statement of the man Rowland, an irresponsible drunkard." "The man was lifted aboard drunk at New York," broke in the first officer, and remained in a condition of delirium tremens up to the shipwreck. We did not meet the Royal Age and are in no way responsible for her loss. "Yes," added Captain Bryce, "and a man in that condition is liable to see anything. We listened to his ravings on the night of the wreck. He was on A "O God, I thank thee!" lookout on the bridge. Mr. Austen, the bontaw'n, and myself were close to him. Before Mr. Meyer's oily smile had indicated to the flustered captain that he had said too much the door opened and admitted Rowland, pale and weak, with empty left sleeve, leaning on the arm of a bronze bearded and manly looking giant who carried little Myrx on the other shoulder and who said in the brecey tone of the quarter deck: "Well, I'm brought him half dead. But why couldn't you give me time to deck my ship? A mate can't do everything." "And this is Captain Barry of der Peeleess," said Mr. Meyer, taking his hand. "It is all right, my friend; you will not lose. And this is Mr. Rowland, and this is der little child. Sit down, my friend. I congratulate you on your escape." "Thank you," said Rowland weakly as he seated himself. "They cut my arm off at Christiansand, and I still live. That is my escape." Captain Bryce and Mr. Austen, pale and motionless, stared hard at this man, in whose enclosed face, refined by suffering to the almost spiritual softness of age, they hardly recognized the features of the troublesome sailor of the Titan. His clothing, though clean, was rugged and patched. Mr. Selfridge had artisand and was also starring, not at Iowa, but at the child, who, seated in the lap of the big Captain Barry, was looking around with wondering eyes. Her costume was unique. A dress of bagging stuff put together, as were her canvas shoes and hat, with sail twine in saffronkins' skirts, three to the inch, covered skirts and underclothing made from oldannel shirts. It represented many an hour's work of the watch below, lovingly bestowed by the crew of the Peericees, for the crippled Rowland could not see. Mr. Selfridge approached, scanned the pretty features closely and asked: "Her first name is Myra," answered Rowland. "She remembers that. But I have not learned her last name, though I knew her mother years ago—before her marriage." "Myra, Myra," repeated the old gentleman. "do you know me? Don't you know me?" He trembled visibly as he stopped and kissed her. The little forehead puckered and wrinkled as the child struggled with memory; then it cleared, and the whole face sweetened to a smile. "Gwampa," she said. "O God, I thank thee," murmured Mr. Selfridge, taking her in his arms. "I have lost my son, but I have found his child—my granddaughter." "But, sir," asked Rowland eagerly. "you this child's grandfather? Your son is lost, you say. Was he on board the Titan? And the mother—was she saved or is she toor— He stopped, unable to continue. "The mother is safe in New York, but the father, my son, has not yet been heard from," said the old man mournfully. Rowland's head sank, and he hid his face for a moment in his arm on the table at which he sat. It had been a face as old and worn and weary as that of the white haired man confronting him. On it it raised, flushed, bright eyed and smiling, was the glory of youth. "I trust, sir," he said, "that you will telegraph her. I am penniless at present and, besides, do not know her name." "Selfridge—which, of course, is my own name. Mrs. Colonel or Mrs. George Selfridge. Our New York address is well known. But I shall cable her at once, and, believe me, alr. although I can understand that our debt to you cannot be named in terms of money, you need not be penniless long. You are evidently a capable man, and I have wealth and influence." Rowland merely bowled slightly, but Mr. Meyer muttered to himself: "Vealth and influence. Berhapa not. Now, gentlemen," he added in a louder tone, "to pizness. Mr. Rowland, will you tell us about der running down of the der Royal Age?" "What it the Royal Age?" asked Rowland. "I saddled in her one voyage. Yes, certainly." Mr. Suffridge, more interested in Myra than in the coming account, carried her over to a chair in the corner and sat down, where he fondled and talked to her after the manner of grandfathers the world over, and Rowland, first looking steadily into the faces of the two men he had come to expose and whose presence he had thus far ignored, told, while they held their teeth tight together and often buried their fingernails in their palms, the terrible story of the cutting in half of the ship on the first night out from New York, finishing with the attempted bribery and his refusal. "Vell, gentlemen, what do you think of that?" asked Mr. Meyer, looking around. "A lie, from beginning to end," stormed Captain Bryce. Rowland rose to his feet, but was pressed back by the big man who had accompanied him, who then faced Captain Bryce and said quietly: "I saw a polar bear that this man killed in open fight. I saw his arm afterward, and while nursing him away from death I heard no whiners or compaints. He can fight his own battles when well, and when sick I do it for him. If you insult him again in my presence I'll knock your teeth down your throat." There was a moment's silence while the two captains eyed one another, broken by the attorney, who said: "Whether this story is true or false, it certainly has no bearing on the validity of the policy. If this happened it was after the policy attached and before the wreck of the Titan." "But der concealment, der concealment!" shouted Mr. Meyer excitedly. "Has no bearing either. If he concealed anything it was done after the wreck and after your liability was confirmed. It was not even barrtry. You must pay this insurance." "I will not buy it—I will not. I will fight you in der courts." Mr. Meyer stamped up and down the floor in his excitement, then stopped with a triumphant smile and shook his finger into the face of the attorney. "And even if der concealment will not vitiate der policy der fact that he had a drunken man on lookout when der Titan struck der iceberg will be enough. Go ahead and sue. I will not buy. He was part owner." "You have no witnesses to that admission." said the attorney. Mr. Meyer looked around the group, and the adult left his face. "Captain Bryce was mistaken," said Mr. Austen. "This man was drunk at New York like others of the crew. But he was sober and competent when on lookout. I discussed theories of navigation with him during his trick on the bridge that night, and he spoke intelligently." "But you yourself said not ten minutes ago that this man was in a state of delirium tremens up to der collision," said Mr. Meyer. "What I said and what I will admit under oath are two different things," said the officer desperately. "I may have said anything under the excitement of the moment when we were accused of such an infamous crime. I say now that John Flowland, whatever may have been his condition on the preceding night, was a noob and competent lookout at the time of the wreck of the Titan." "Thank you," said Rowland dryly to the first officer; then, looking into the appalling face of Mr. Meyer, he said: "I do not think it will be necessary to brand me before the world as an invertebrate in order to punish the company and these men. Barrath, as I understand it, is the unlawful act of a captain or crew at sea, causing damage or loss, and it only applies to the parties are purely employees. Did I understand rightly, that Captain Bryce was part owner of the Titan? "Yea," said Mr. Meyer, "the own stock, and we wear against barrath. But this man as part owner could not fall back on it." --- Hawkins-Johnson MANUFACTURING CO., Hair Grower and Restorer, 616 H. 1st Street. Richmond, Va.

"Certainly," said Mr. Meyer eagerly. "You were drunk on der lookout—you were raving drunk, as he said himself. You will swear to this, will you not, my friend? It is bad faith with der underwriters. It appalls der insurance. You admit this, Mr. Thompson, do you not? "That is law," said the attorney coldly. "Was Mr. Austen a part owner also?" asked Rowland, ignoring Mr. Meyer's view of the case. "One share, is it not. We Austen?" asked Mr. Meyer, while he rubbed his hands and united. Mr. Austen made no sign of denial, and Rowland continued: "Then for drumming a sailor into a stupor and having him on lookout out of his turn while in that condition and at the moment when the Titan struck the iceberg Captain Bryce and Mr. Austen have as part owners committed an act which nullifies the insurance on that ship." "You infernal lying scoundrel" roared Captain Bryce. He strode toward Rowland with threatening face.

From the latest returns it appears that Roosevelt carried the state by a majority of between 16,000 and 17,000 over Taft. The colonel not only carried all of the twelve congressional districts and the four delegates at large, giving him the entire twenty eight delegates from the state, but he got a majority on the preferential vote in nearly all of the twenty-one counties. The few scattering counties that are placed in the Taft column gave the president such narrow margins as to be almost negligible. Notwithstanding the loss of the four delegates in the two Essex districts controlled by former United States Senator James Smith, Jr., and James R. Nugent, Governor Wilson's victory is scarcely less satisfactory to his followers on the Democratic side. With the single exception of Essex county, there were only two or three districts in the state in which the Wilson opposition made even a substantial showing, so that the Wilson faction feel confident in claiming that New Jersey Democracy in practically unanimous for the governor. Nearly complete returns from Tuesday's Ohio presidential primary election indicate that Colonel Roosevelt won thirty-two of forty-two delegates to the Republican national convention selected in twenty-one congressional districts, and that President Taft hated district delegates, or slightly fewer than a fourth of the total number named. On the Democratic ticket Governor Harmon is believed to have won by a larger percentage than Colonel Roosevelt, being credited with thirty-five district delegates, as against seven for Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey. Although President Taft secured only ten out of the forty-two delegates, the Taft-Roosevelt night in Ohio is not finished, but will be carried into the state Republican convention, which on June 3 will select six delegates-at-large to the national convention.

It is stated that the word of "running" colored mail clerks out of the Southern states post morally on with no interference from the authorities at Washington. A colored clerk was recently brutally whipled and run away from Clarksdale, Mississippi and another one assaulted with a club at Morgan, Mississippi. Both stood among the most efficient employees in the system. The question is, what is the government at Washington going to do about the government officials, are not responded to protect them, although they should do so, that the national administration is prepared to protect them. COLORED KNIGHTS OF PATHYS WIN. The Supreme Court of the United State barred some shows that the Museum in the city of St. Louis, Loe- of Georgia N. V. P. N. X. and Y. barred against the St. Louis bourse of Georgia Knights in Port- land of the World. Weiter. The colored Pythias and it can be traited from its appearance or after the name, Knights of Pythias. Chief Jenthe Wille of Loe- nard rendered the opinion. He said that the Supreme Court had jurisdiction as a federal question, declared that the museum was not a title of possession in the record to show that the public had been deceived or the property right of the white order had been interfered with by the existence of the colored order in Georgia for twenty years. Mr. Justice Holmes of Massachusetts and Mr. Justice Lutton of Tennessee dissented. This decision is significant, indicating as it does that there is a change going on in Washington, which may yet redound to our benefit. The fact that Chief Justice White of Louisiana rendered the opinion shows too that he was the champion. If we may use the term, of the colored knights' contention. It should not be forgotten that when the case was first tried in Georgia a Georgia judge ruled in favor of the colored Pythians, but was subsequently overruled by the Supreme Court of Georgia. Upon the second hearing of the case, he was compelled to reverse himself in --- accordance with the rulings of the Supreme Court of his own state. He will no doubt read the decision of the United States Supreme Court with satisfaction. It may also be noted that this affects the Elks case as decided by the Supreme Court of New York. The principle is the same and the colored Elks are now as free from legal interference as are the colored Pythians. A reference is also made in the decision as to property rights and this is an indication that the congregation cases if taken to the United States Supreme Court will be decided in our favor. That Mr. Justice Holmes of Macau should have antagonized this position and rendered a dissent in opinion is significant. We presume that he pleaded "thick of petitions" in the case. This has been the usual way of doing. Chief Justice White emphasized what we have all along said about Southern white men. If they are for you they are for you all the way through. "If they antagonize well, good Lord deliver us." We hope that there will be no undue relation over the formal victory won at Washington. It should be accepted in a color spirit and nothing should be done to offend those white Knights of Pythia who so unreasonably envied us and who would stop the good and benevolent work which we have been doing under a banner similar to their own. Colored organizations do not ascept white institutions and white organization do not accept colored candidates. The line of demarcation is both broad and deep and no impurity can be placed on aftermath of the decision. If some question the subject it would be well to remark that the colored Grand and Ant Order ofold Followers in this country came from the parent organization in Ireland and associate the white Independent Order of Old Followers in the same land. It may be the Chief of the White Bed in mind that foot and that he has saved his white country untold embarrassment in the avoidance of a situation which might have done little harm to the white membership throughout the landscape and breath of the American land. A MAIL CLERK BEATEN While the Republican clans are notching at Chicago, I'll the follow-their "secret white information will be of interest." Laurie M. May 21 11:11 body a mess of white and cottage W. A. M. Menin a minister to railway mail station, and here the afternoon relating that ten or fifteen white men took him to a vacant building at a bank, and him unnumerably the bank told him to leave, that they wanted no more interest on his job, it would turn out of here. M. Menin left here this morning and will be to be to Union instructed to wait there for the 11:11 o'clock train and work on it back to Laurel. He reached 0:11. Parker, a white man who has been working on the train, is a white man. Mr. Apin says that, when he an- d lived at Union, he went to an eating house with his wife. He was called part of the eating house, he says, and came down the track at the point of a receiver. He an old gin and cotton house, he found the ten o'- nine in the white men with four burly whip. He was forced to remove his cotton house and was beaten with the whip. He says he was strang- ed to the seat with a revolver. Knocked and called a police and warned not to run again. He ran and cotton house, he protested the pro- testation when received and called the train When he came here it was sure he had to be in the greater part of the house and was out of it. We are for the protection of the man in the United States Mail service, certainly sufficient and that. The enforcement of them is all that is necessary. We are confident that Postmaster General Hitchcock's attention has been called to this matter and that the United States Secret Service man are on the job. McAlpin's condition must have been something awful and his agony now exacerbating. To lash a man in the manner described was brutal and he no doubt considers himself lucky to have escaped with his life. The acenic in that old gin and cotton house where a "nigger" was being whipped almost to death will hardly ever be fittingly described. The white men who do this represent the lowest type of Southern civilization and cause end of annoyance and embarrassment to the white men of liberal tendencies. For our part, death would have been preferable to such treatment. Colored men will yet learn to stand up for their rights.. and lose that taste of servility which has been handed down through many generations. When we determine to sell our lives as dearly as possible and "go shouting home to glory" a better day will dawn for the colored folks of the Southland. THE CHICAGO OUTLOOK The situation at Chicago is without a parallel in the history of American politics. Ex President Theodore Roosevelt and his managers are engaged in a most remarkable struggle. Their political machinery has been captured and they are "facing their own artillery" with the advantage in favor of their antagonists. To overcome this handleap, they have called into action some of the shrewdest political manipulators and managers in the country to meet men of similar ability on the other side. To a man skilled in this kind of political warfare, it will be apparent that the side that has the heaviest financial backing and the greatest amount of political skill in the area of it will win in the struggle. Ct' Rosevelt in a speech delivered in Baltimore urged the colored vote not to permit themselves to be bought in the primary elections then pending. It seems to us that he would have done well to have saved this advice for his own people of Chicago. The colored voters stood by him in Maryland, what are the white voters doing in Ohio? According to his own statements and flory utterances, he is being robbed of delegates by men with up in party affaires, charming United States Senateors Congressmen, and even the President of the United States, with lesser portions to these peoples of colony. It makes interesting read and the colored man who takes the time to think can consider the situation with openimity and pride. After all the colored people of the country are about what the white people of this country have made them. They practice the fobbles and follow five of the white men and they are then charged with being inherently inferior for doing just what they see the white folks do. We hope to live to see the day when unity of a nation will characterize the efforts of our people and finance be the watchword in the march upward to that station which every race of people at some time in the world's history must occupy. It is related that in a certain community there lived an old philosopher who it was said could answer any question asked him. A certain mischievous boy having heard this decided to test the truthfulness of it. He caught a bird and with it concealed in his hand took it to the old sage. The boy said I will ask him if the bird is alive. If he says it is then I will expose it to death. But if he says it is dead then I will show him that it is alive. He a bed the philosopher to tell him the condition of the bird. The reply was "My boy, just so then wilt so is the bird." And harply so to it with us as a race. Just as we will so will our condition be. But the future of a tree depends very much upon the interest manifested in the development of the children of that race. Trait up the child in the way it should go and when it is old it will not depart from it, as the teaching of Kinz Solomon About fifty yards from the principal thoroughfare of the city of Flon once occupied the Mr. Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church. And while on a beautiful Sabbath evening when all nature seems to unite in inviting praises to our God for His goodness to the child of men the other churches in different parts of the city are conduct for similar services, the Mr. Zion M.

First Presbyterian Church, Corner Monroe and Catherine St. The services were well attended last Sabbath morning and evening. The pastor Rev. J. E. Harper preached two excellent sermons. In the evening his subject was "How to Fill the Church" from the text Luke, 11:23 "Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in that my house may be filled." In the course of his remarks Rev. Harper said: "The force of the word "Go" in the text was imperative and not optional on the part of the servants, mandatory and not simply a request. He also said "There is no excuse for empty pews in our churches in Richmond. There are more than forty thousand of our people in this city who ought to hear the gospel each Lord's Day. If God's servants were not derelict in the discharge of their duty our churches would no overflowing both morning and evening." The people showed their ap preciation of the services by their liberal offering. June 16th at 11 A.M. the subject will be "House Cleaning." At 8:15, "How Little Things Grow Into Big Things. The Fourth Sunday, June 23rd will be celebrated as "Home Coming Day." Special services in the morning and a sacred concert in the evening. This is an effort to reach every colored Presbyterian in Richmond with a view to interest them in the church. We invite our many friends who can to be with us on that occasion. A Voice From Chicago. Editor Richardson PLANET Sir. Reading your protest against the endorsement of Mr. Roosevelt by Negro voters of the country and believing you to have given unanswerable objections to such action by American citizens of color (and, by the way, white ones too, of principle) the writer, leath to vote for Mr. Taft, thinks that the alternative choice between two evils could be obstructed by an opposition to both, in which honorable, principled, manly and who course the Colored delegates to the Republican Convention could and should play an important part. The "dark horse" may be the savior of the honor of the party of Fremont, Lincoln and Grant. It is late in the day, but not too late to formulate some plan of action that will be effective. The charge of being open to bribery, by money or by office, so imperatively made against the "nigger" delegates even if not incorrect, as to source, comes with ill grace from a race whose delegates are not be yond reproof, either. J. E., Chicago, Ill. 2 MAY ESTABLISH AS K. OF P. Georgia Negroes, by Court Ruling, Allowed to Incorporate Lodge. The United States Supreme Court yesterday set aside the degree of the supreme court of Georgia, which enjoined Negro men from incorporating a lodge in that State under the name of Knights of Pythias. Chief Justice White announced the opinion. Justice Holmes announced a dissenting opinion. Chief Justice White, after reasoning that the Supreme Court, as a Federal tribunal had jurisdiction to review the case, said that there was not a scatilla of evidence in the record to show that the public had been deceived, or property rights of the white order been interfered with by the existence of the colored order for twenty years in Georgia. Justice Lurton concurred in Iur. Justice Laurton concurred in Justice Holmes' dissenting opinion. —Washington, Post. Guest at Hotel Dale, Cape May, N. J.

Several candidates were dipped in Twity's Creek Saturday evening and extended the hand of welcoming St. Michael Church Sunday in muddy water from a recent rainstorm no terror for some of the determent. Children of parents of the highest positions in the church were anxious to connect themselves with church of other faith, but their parents over ruled objections and took them in. While some questions were being asked the candidates as to their will ingness to obey the church rules, Deacon Lee arose to state that to his sorrow his daughter's conversion has not lessened her desire for dancing. Although the girl says she has one foot she can't control when she hears music she will try to do better in the future. Deacon Dupee saw no reason to put such restraint on candidates. "Why seek you to rob them of their harm less pleasures?" he asked. "Show me your Bible for it." It was not shown. "The people here arranged Tuesday to have a fish fry, although at that time the fish were playing in the creek. Apetites were sharp for fresh fish and wagons, burgles, carts etc. were placed in readiness and a drive was taken three miles to Roan oke Creek. Here a seine was stretched from bank to bank, and after several succesful hauls in which some nice fish including some May Rounders were caught. A large fire was made in the lowlands where the fish were cooked, and eaten. So successful was the attempt that the parties have decided to try again in the near future.

After the Rev. read the article of last week he came to the conclusion that Mr. "Rambler" is right in all he said. The writer of this article agrees with both Mr. "Rambler" and Rev. Adams that the time has come when those in every community who are leaders in the uplift of the people should stand by all such as Mr. "Rambler" who are Jaboring ardently to purge the community, better the conditions of homes and purify the Church. A great meeting was held on last Sunday evening in the First Baptist Church (white) looking into the religious status of the people of this town. This meeting composed many of the best citizens of the community. Rev. Adams was requested to speak. He received many congratulations on his timely remarks in saying to them "They could not better the condition of the whole people in this town and leave his people out." Mrs. Sallie Anderson of South street is confined to bed under the treatment of Dr. Baker. Mrs. Mattie Allen, C. H. McDaniel and Lydia Miles are reported on the sick list.

Y. Mrs. Yancey Injured. Mrs. Charlotte Yancey of 213 E. Clay St. suffered painful injury from a French poodle dog, called "Trixle" last Saturday morning. It seems that the dog had been badly beaten up by other dogs in a fight and probably laterally injured. It seemed to have inward spasms. It killed a pet cat while in one of these paroxysms, but did not attack persons. Mrs. Yancey was at the coop with a chicken in her hand when "Trixle" jumped at the chicken and buried its sharp teeth in her finger. It bled profusely. The dog was penned up and later killed by Agent Taylor of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The dog showed no sign of rabbies and the wound was dressed. Mrs. Yancey does not think that her pet intended to bite her. The wound has healed nicely and no aprehension is now felt as to the result of the injury.

Quinade Quinacomb ```markdown ``` Farm Dairying Holstula Calf By LAURA ROSE, Demonstrator and Lecturer in Dairying at the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege, Guelph, Canada. I COPYRIGHT, 1911, by A. C. Moffett & Co. THERE is a difference of opinion among farmers as to getting the calf suck the dam at all. Some take it away limited at ly, but the greater number leave the calf with its mother at least twenty four hours after it is born. It is always safer to allow it to stay that length of time unless the cow is known to be tuberculous, in which case the calf should be removed right away and not allowed to be linked by its mother or to drink any of her milk. Upper cultosis is not hereditary, but not contracted. To teach a calf to drink let it go quite hungry first, then insert two fingers in its mouth and lower its head into the pail. Calf feeders can be bought and are liked by some. If the calf proves obstinate and depend upon it some surely will the milk will cool while your patience is being tried. It must be heated by adding a little hot water to it, for the young baby must not get cold milk, even when it is obstinate. Remember it is against nature for a young calf to put its head down to drink, so while it is learning this we must be patient. It will help matters at first to raise the pail, or better still, a dish, to the calf, if possible. Never feed in wooden pails. They soon sour. Always wash and scald the pails at least once a day. It takes less time than to bother with all calves. As a rule, it is a good plan to feed the calf whole milk for the first three weeks, though there are uny strong ones which would stand the change to skimmilk at two weeks. At first give from six to eight pounds (two and one half to three and one half quart), according to the size of the calf, two daily. At the end of three weeks it should get from eight to ten pounds. In the event of a calf from any cannot not getting the colostrum (first milk) which is very laxative and intended by nature to cleanse the bowels of the young animal, it is advisable to feed it with the milk from the freshest, lowest testing cow you have, at the same time watching carefully to see if the bowels are acting. If not give about two tablespoons of warm raw lime oil or castor oil, repeating the dose if necessary. Jersey milk is often too rich in fat for the calf to do well on it. Such milk should be diluted with water or give the calf milk from another fresh cow of low test if you have one. "In feeding calves by hand," said an expert stock raiser to me, "I would never be without a thermometer and some means of weighing the milk, as I would far rather let a calf go without a meal than have it get a couple of pounds too much milk or have it get it at a temperature of 70 degrees if it had been used to getting it at 30 degrees, which is about right." When heating milk for calves it is best to place the vessel containing it in a pan of hot water; then there is no danger of its being burned or boiled. One great advantage of separator skim milk is that if fed immediately it is at the right temperature and is fresh and sweet. Besides, I think the natural heat in the milk has a certain vitality in it. The froth should be removed. It is not good for the calf, sometimes causing colic. In changing from whole milk to skim milk do not be in too great a hurry. Take at least a week to make the change. At two or three weeks the calf will begin to eat a little hay and should be provided with some nice, bright clever hay. It should also get a little meal about this time. A good plan is to fill the hand with bran and crushed oats, and when the calf has finished its milk hold your fingers for it to suck, and while it is doing so work the meal, a little at a time, into its mouth with your thumb. Another plan is to put a little meal into the bottom of the pail just as it has finished drinking. Some give it a few whole eats. The chewing and mixing of the food with saliva promote digestion and thrift. A little pulped roots is retained by the calf and tends to keep the appetite keen. If you wish to fatten a calf give it some fat producing food, such as a little cornmeal. A calf of two months should not eat eight quarts of milk per day. at four months it cannot make good use of more than ten quarts. With this it should get two quarts of mixed crushed grain per day and all the hay it can eat. At six months the milk allowance may be dropped out, or before that time if milk is sourced. Weaning the calf from milk should be slowly done by substituting water gradually. Calves should have fresh, clean water to drink from babyhood to maturity. Do not forget the supply of salt for the calves. Occasionally put a lump of fresh soil in the calf's尿. The calves seem to enjoy a taste of earth. It is always well to substitute something to replace the fat taken from skimmilk fed to calves. When making the change from whole milk a table spoonful of ground oatmeal may be added to the milk. If flavoured is used, and there is nothing better, it should be well baked and from a half cupful to a cupful of the jelly added to the warm milk. To make the jelly take one pint of whole flaked to four quarts of water, add a little salt, cook overnight and boil for an hour next morning. Serve into the milk a little of the oatmeal porridge made for breakfast. Good cakes have been reared on hay feet. Good, bright colored hay is put through a cutting box and out time three pounds per day allowed for a six weeks old oil. It is then well bottled, strained and a quarter of a pound each of ground flaxseed and wheat middles added for each cut. It is again baked and fed at a temper- ature of 10 degrees. This makes a nourishing, crisp, digested food. The older cattle reach the stored hay. A successful dairyman, who sounds his milk off the fork, uses the fow- lowing technique to make a thin grade substitute for milk. The Standard ground flaxseed. For poultry, poultry grade them in twenty four pounds ground flaxseed. In rabbits, we it is very unwholesome pour the milk in a straight and at them in a thick layer. Cavities should not be exposed to heat, to weather, and to be heated most of the time if at all the first six months of their life. The coffee skins to tender and may blister and become very more if exposed to the hot sun. A nice green grass, poddle develops, the musk and keeps them in general good health. When cavities swathed back there is probably and keeps warm in the stable despite them plenty of fresh air, even though it be cold. The pen must be frequently cleaned out, he keep dry and have plenty of litter or the cavies will not thrive and are sure to get some of the many troubles which attack young stock. It A JEISEY COW AND NER CALF is a good plan to sprinkle the floor with land plaster and occasionally spray the pen with a good disinfectant. Sceura—er Diarrhea. The most frequent trouble in raising a calf on skimmilk is sourting. The reason of this in nearly all cases is in digestion, due to one or more of the following preventable causes. Too much milk; sour milk when the calf has been used to sweet; changing from whole to skimmilk too suddenly, in regular hours of feeding, dirty feeding pails and dirty wet bedding. The disease frequently begins with constipation, which soon gives way to diarrhea. Should the calf begin to sour at any time give it just about half its usual ration for a feed or two and two tablespoonfuls of raw lime or orchard oil. Some add twenty drops of laudanum. When the sourcing has stopped, gradually increase the feed until the calf is getting its regular allowance. There are several remedies for sour recommended by different authorities of these the most popular seem to be raw eggs, flour, timewater, black tea and blood meal. The latter is highly recommended as a calf feed. About a teaspoonful in the milk is said to be a cure for wounds and if fed regularly is a preventive. The first year when she is a calf it is the most important in a cow's life. Stunt the calf and it can never develop into the profitable cow which good care and thrifty growth would have produced. It is true that the cow partly born and partly made. Our aim should be to train the calf to make use of coarse foods. Deherning Where a large number of cows run together it is probably the safest and best plan to have them dehorned through it certainly detracts from their appearance. The best time to dehorn is in calfhood. Calves may be easily dehorned when a few days old. City the hair where the rudimentary horn appear and with a moistened stick of coarse potash rub the little buttons of horn until the skin becomes inflamed and tender to the touch. One application is usually sufficient. An coarse potash burns, be careful not to get it on the hoods or on the calf's band. Farm Dairying Jacoba Irene. Great Butter Cow Demonstrator and Lecturer In Dairying at the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, Canada. [Copyright, 1916, by A. C. McClurg & Co.] I pays in more ways than one to be on friendly terms with our animals. You must pet and talk to the young helper so as to gain her confidence and affection. Please her efforts with the herd of milk cows and watch that no harm be falls her. A sudden fright from a dog or an unseen sight may cause her to lose her life. Go through the process of making hot water to be heated to being handed So that the baby is removed un- showed to the twenty four hours after birth. Go through the still soon after the baby is born, given warm and care the young mother, and if she gets the idea that you are the baby, pull the better for the newborn. The best cow to help for a few days after it is born is clean and inflamed and often cold. She is nervous and excited. If you have been in the habit of handling her, she will allow you to gently rub her udder and draw a little milk. The rest of this given will further instill in her infections and her last thought would be to lift a foot to kick her. The kicking cow is not hurt; she is made that way by the milker. It is a good plan to clip the long hair from the udder around the teats. When milking this hair is often caught with the teats and pulled, causing pain which makes the beifer kick. To get good milk there is nothing like raising them yourself. The cow seems to partake of the disposition of her keeper. No davarman can afford to have a man in his stable who is rough and quick tempered. The First Calf. If the helper is shifty and strong she may have her best self from two to two and a half years old. If delayed longer she is apt to apprise the habit of putting her food into flesh. It is well to lay the coming of the second self for a few months longer then is usual in the immediate view. This gives the young helper a better chance to develop, as there is not the extra tax on her during the heaviest flow of work. It ought not to be necessary to dwell upon the point of feeding a helper genously. She is a very immature and must have plenty of good food to build up her own body as well as nourish the unborn self. Many farmers as soon as a cow becomes dry let her hunt her own living or half starve her, excluding their neglect by saying she is doing nothing for her board. Is she not preparing herself to work again every day for ten or eleven months, besides presenting her owner with a calf? If you wish to establish a long milking frequency you must be persistent in milking the heifer after her first calf. It is then that the ballet of a long or short milking period is formed. Dry her up at seven or eight months and it is difficult ever after to get her to milk for ten months. For this reason keep on milking her for ten or eleven months, no matter how little milk you may get. It is better to have the heavy flow of milk in the winter, when prices are higher and help more plentiful. Cow coming in in November and December go on the grass just when there is a tendency to it falling off in the milk flow. The change to fresh pasture stimulates the secretion of milk, and it is like a second freshening. Fall calving is better both for the cow and the calf. They receive better care and are not so exposed to extremes of weather. It must be remembered that a cow must not be neglected when dry. This is her building up period, and she should get plenty of good food and be in vigorous condition at freshening time. The udder, the glandular organ in which the cow secretes her milk, is made up of arteries, veins, nerves, tissue and fat. When cut, it has a soft, spongy, pale graylab pink appearance. There is a partition running lengthwise through the udder, dividing it into two distinct and unconnected parts. If a cow loses the use of one of her teats, the milk may be largely drawn from that quarter through the other teat on the same side, but if an accident happened to both teats on the same side, half of her usefulness as a milkker is gone. The birth of the young is the primary incentive to the secretion of milk by all animals which suckle their young. In the wild animals and in the scrub cow the udder is small and im- perfectly developed, and secretes only for a few months. Intelligent feeding, selection and breeding have resulted in an enormous development of udder and an almost continuous milking period in the best cows. The Secretion of Milk. There are two general theories advanced, in regard to the secretion of milk. The metatrophic (meaning College of Bard, Calif. The milk is due to a breaking down of the cell structure of the udder. We can hardly accept this, for it would be almost impossible for a cow to build up and break down the cells to the extent of as high as from 50 to 100 pounds of milk per day. The transduction or filtering theory claims that the milk filters or oozes through the tissues from the blood as it courses through the udder. Neither can this explanation be wholly true, for constituents found in milk are almost lacking in blood-fat, for example. A combination of these two theories appears reasonable. As the blood courses through the udder from it are taken substances to build up thousands and thousands of thy cells stored with materials which afterward form the greater portion of the solid constituents of the milk. All day long these cells keep developing, and the udder grows larger and larger. The blood is charged with an extra supply of water. The cow, has now the materials in readiness to make the finished product, milk. We have provided her with food and water. With these she has carried on the manufacturing process to a certain point, but she needs some outward assistance to finish the work thoroughly. She gets this assistance from the calf when it presses the teat in its mouth or from us when we likewise squeeze it in our hands. We place our hands on the teats thinking we do so in order merely to draw the milk, but we do much more than that. We are coworkers with the cow in helping her to make the milk, and the better we understand our part of the business the larger will be the returns. Action of the Nerves. The material for the milk are stored in the cells of the udder and in the blood. Its final secretion is brought about by the action of the nerves, hence the great importance of the nervous constitution. If a cow were giving ten quarts of milk at a milking and she were killed just before being milked there would not be found in her udder or any other part of her body more than a quart of milk. Too much stress cannot be laid upon this fact that the making of the milk is largely completed just at the time of milking. Intelligence and kindness on the part of the milker at this time determine to a great extent not only the quantity but also the quality of the milk. When we press the tests we excrete the time network nerves in the udder. ```markdown ``` UDDER OF JACAO IRENE—HE PRODUCED MORE THAN HER OWN WEIGHT IN BUTTER IN A YEAR. These nerves act on the cells, breaking them down. At the same time the water filters through the tissues, carrying with it the mineral matter from the blood. The materials from the broken down cells and the water unite to form milk, which finds its way through the minute channels to the milk eater at the top of the test, whence the milk is drawn by the downward pressure of the hand on the test through the test canal and escape. It takes the fat globules longer to get to the outlet, hence the reason for the richness of the last milk drawn. Milk is a product which is subject to remarkable changes while in the body of the animal secreting it. Intense pain, fright, anger, all leave their traces in the milk. In the human mother the first two of these have been to infuse the milk with poison and to cause convulsions, and sometimes the death of the nursing baby. It is reasonable to suppose that what is true of the human family applies more or less to such a highly developed, sensitive animal as the dairy cow. Some cows leak their milk. This is due to the muscle at the test opening being too lax. It may be remedied by a rather risky operation. Other cows are very hard to milk, the muscle, being too tight. Remedies are given for this defect also. The flow of milk is usually greater in the morning and the percentage of fat slightly lower than at the evening milking. --- Thousands of applications for pension increases under the recently enacted Sherwood "dollar-a-day" law, are pouring into the pension office in Washington. Commissioner Davenport estimates that fully 25,000 applications have come to him so far. Girl Shot by Fiance Dion Hale Hinda, who was shot by her sweetheart, Clark Coy, died in the Hamet hospital, in Erie, Pa., where her mother is a patient. The mother has not been gold of her daughter's death. Coy was under arrest until Thursday, contending the shooting was accidental, but was restrained and held for a further investigation. Detective on Stand Says Accused Lawyer Told Him Gompers Sent the Money. Samuel Gompers, head of the American Federation of Labor, sent direct to Clarence S. Darrow, the money which the prosecution alleges was used in the bribery of George N. Lockwood, according to Bert Franklin, under cross-examination in the trial of Darrow for alleged jury bribery in connection with the McNamara case in Los Angeles, Cal. Franklin said that Mr. Darrow had told him this. Franklin testified at the same time that Darrow had told him he need not worry about Job Harriman being implicated in the case. Harriman, Darrow told the witness, could account for his visit to the safe deposit vault the morning he secured the $4000 by the fact that he took out $500 to pay a mortgage, said Franklin. The conversation in which Gompers' name was mentioned was incidental to a newspaper account "purporting to show that the $4000 used in the Lockwood case had been marked money. "I asked Mr. Darrow," said Franklin, "if he had seen in the paparas that the district attorney had traced the money from the safe deposit vault into the hands of Mr. Darrow and from there into my hands; also that it was marked money. He said that the money was sent direct to him by Samuel Gompers." Franklin also testified that Darrow had asked him for a description of the cells and accommodation in the San Quentin and Folsom prisons. "I told him the best I could," the witness replied, "I "was thinking seriously about that myself." Questioned as to conversations with Attorney Lecompute Davis, following his arrest, Franklin claimed the privilege of declining to answer on the ground that Davis was his attorney Judge Hutton ruled that Franklin was not privileged to withhold any conversation with his attorney. The witness then told of conversations with Davis concerning the latter's efforts to procure his release upon payment of a fine. "Did you ever tell Mr. Davis that Mr. Lockwood had solicited a bribe of you, and that you wanted to catch him?" asked Rogers. "Yes, I told Mr. Davis that Lockwood came to my office and solicited a bribe." Franklin said he had made this statement to Davies after the latter had arranged for his plea of guilty. Rogers drew from the witness that Davies had told him to say that the money used in bribing Lockwood had been sent to him from Chicago. Franklin doubted he had ever told newspaper men that Barrow had nothing to do with the alleged jury bribing. Gompers Save Story In False. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, in Washington said of Detective Her Franklin's testimony in the Darrow trial at Los Angeles: "That is an absolute falsehood made of whole cloth. I do not know Franklin and I have never, bad any dealing with him. I did not send any money to him or to anybody. I do not handle any money. There is nothing to this and it is absurd on the face of it. I have documentary proof which disputes his story. I do not care to give the correspondence out at this time." SENATOR NIXON ILL Nevada Man Attacked With Meningitis and May Not Live. Senator George S. Nixon, of Nevada, is dangerously ill in a hospital in Washington with an attack of meningitis. Chaplain Pierce, of the senate, in his opening prayer, spoke of Senator Nixon as lingering between life and death. Senator Nixon submitted to an operation for a catarral obstruction las Thursday. Spinal meningitis, subsequently developed. Specialists from Baltimore were hastily summoned an visited the patient. Senator Oliver, of Pennsylvania, was among those who called at the hospital, and to him doubt was expressed that Senator Nixon would live.

Mrs. Charles E. Kirlin was walking along the sidewalk in Reading, Pa., when suddenly there was the flash of an object in the girl and a dog came downward, landing on her head, knocking her down.

BLOOD Mrs. Keeler Breaks Long Silence. (Continued From First Page.) pun Attucks, an escaped slave. pun attacks, an escaped slave. The advertisements of this "Run away from his master," which had appeared in the Boston papers were extremely amusing. But no offers of reward brought back the escaped "Crispus." Years later his name appeared in the Boston papers, not as a fugitive slave, but as a hero and a martyr. He had led a company of men and attacked the British soldiers. He was the first to fall. He with three comrades who fell during the attack were buried with publie honors. Now let us turn to Commodeore Perry's victory onake Erie in 1813 the Centennial, which will occur next year. The Analytic Magazine says "Perry found the Negroes to be all that Commodeore Channey had represented them and he did not hesitate to speak favorably of their services." Perry spoke highly of the bravery and good conduct of the Negroes who formed a considerable part of his crew. They seemed to us absolutely inexcible to danger. Here I will ask, Is there no one who will go to Erie next year and speak at the Centennial which is all ready so much talked about, in half of those colored soldiers who end each public work on the Lawrence in the battle on Lake Erie? If I speak with feel that it because I have from childhood been familiar with the story of Perry's victory. More than once have my two looked upon the old Flagpole Lawrence for it was recounted from its burial place in the lake near my form of home. If I say that the North soldiers who served in the civil war and the war with Spain were the bravest and the best of soldiers. I believe every body knows not without their duty in the battle of a war confined to their home. Britain has been the town of that Porter dow. That could have been a total over one of the most important towns in the could call one of the most of their state. Northern towns appear alike here over come to my heart that his country from one of the hardest and dairy and timeless hopeful, with nothing to look forward to but a final testing there in the Porter Land, the former habitable countryside of northern part deposited on the right of the town only to be buried before the town is vacant! All knew the history of the charge of the men, but all do not show the hunter, the cold, the suffering many of the friend they stood who had served their country were called to endure before their last and discharge from a cold, friendless world. Houbiles many were received into southern chaining, dignity or not guilty, it made no difference. Thousands of chalanggvictims today live in unmarried graves. Today experts from all over the United States have met here at the Capital to discuss the treatment and prevention of Tuberculosis. Probably not one word will be heard about those horrible Tuberculosis-breeding places, prisons and chastinage. By special request I have been preparing a report of the Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad Company's convict leasing in Tennessee and Alabama. I am shocked and horrified at the accounts of prison inspectors all along the many years, to find that Tuberculosis alone has sent untold numbers into rameless graves. Most of the victims were colored, not because they were inmates above all the Gallicans" but because the corporation wanted their labor. (Other corporations are equally guilty. One thing more and I am done. I now reluctantly call attention to one of the greatest wrongs that ever digraced any nation, civilized or not civilized, a terrible evil that should cause every American citizen to blush with shame. I refer to the public burning at the stake of alleged criminals who have had not even a mock trial. I have no sympathy for the rapist, but after years and years of the most careful search and investigation I do declare without fear of successful contradiction, that many an alleged criminal has paid the penalty for a crime he has never committed, some at the gallows, some at the stake and some to life long imprisonment which is the worst of all. A few days ago when looking at a late issue of the Dallas, Texas "Times Herald, I noticed on the front page in extremely large capitals the words "Officers and citizens protested but finally gave the Negro to the mob." "Eight hundred persons participated in the lynching," said the Times Herald. Over the "angony" the man endured as his soul was being released to go back into the hands of its Maker I will draw the vell. During his confession which was undoubtedly forced from him, he had implicated one George Price, who had also confessed because he was "told if he pleaded guilty he would be sent to state prison for life, otherwise he would be hung for the crime." Price, who was from Omaha was imprisoned, but he was entirely innocent of the alleged crime. Tyler, Texas has a record of its own for lynching and burning. Dan Davis was not the first man burned in its public square nor the first unidentified man who was a victim of mob violence. There is no state in the union that has destroyed so many lives by the fagot and the stake as the state of Texas. Less than one year ago I crossed Mason and Ipson's line and went into my own dearly loved native state. A few days later as I opened a paper published in my own home town my eyes fell upon the words: "THE STATE DISGRACED." "Mob at Coatesville Burns to Death Negro." The horrible account which followed exceeded in its picture of cruelty many similar stories coming from Southern and Western States. As I realized that this last act had occurred near the city of Brotherly Love and that I had more than once passed over the same spot where the burning took place, my heart turned sick. In the still hours of the night the vision haunted me, and I then and there resolved that not until my "right band forgets its cunning and my tongue cleaves to the roof of my mouth" will I cease to "cry aloud and spare not" against such atticities. With Jefferson I can say, "I tremble for my country when I remember that God is just." CLARISSA OLDS KEELER. Learn Algora or Shorthand Writing during your Spare Time.
