MILITARY PLANET American Bankers' Association The American Bankers Association adjourned at about 4:30 P. M. to meet again Friday at 10:00 A. M. This was done in order to permit the sections to have time to hold their meetings. It was announced that arrangement had been made to accommodate the bankers who were unable to secure hotel accommodations. It had been necessary to charter a steamer and hold it at the wharf in order to accommodate the overflow of bankers. The steamer had a capacity of 1000. THE SAVINGS BANK SECTION The grand hall took place Tuesday night. The Savings Bank Section met Wednesday morning at 9:30 in the green room of Hotel Pontchartrain. It was about the top of this famous 16-story hotel and overlooked the city of Detroit. The room is green, in keeping with its name. The walls, coiling and floor coverings are of that color. The chairs are all golden, being heavily gilded. President Alfred L. Alken proceeded to call the section to order and announced that the divine who had been invited to pray could not be present. A QUESTION OF PRAYER At this moment, a way was found to get over this embarrassment when Mr. W. R. Creer of Cleveland suggested that each member do his own praying by all rising and repeat the Lord's Prayer. Mr. William Livingston, President of the American Banker Association made an address which won the favor of all present. He made them welcome to the city of Detroit. MANY REPORTS Reports were made by Mr. J. F. Sartori, President Security Trust and Savings Bank of Los Angeles, Cal., Mr. John H. Sturgis, Treasurer, of Franklin Savings Bank, Boston, Mr. F. C. Nichols, Treasurer, Fitchburg Savings Bank, Fitchburg, Mass., Mr V. F. Hawley, Treasurer Farmers and Mechanics Savings Bank, Minneapolis, Minn. THE NEW SECRETARY The new Secretary of the Section, Mr. E. G. McWilliams of New York won instant favor by his business-like manner and his keen understanding of human nature which enables him to make friends and retain them. Mr. Theodore L. Weed, Director Postal Savings System of the United States delivered a practical address upon "The Postal Savings Bank and the Banks." It was well received. He explained its workings and was of the opinion that the plan had been a success. The committee on nomination was appointed. The attendance of this section was the largest in the history of the section. Greetings From Staunton, Va Editor of The Richmond PLANET: The 15th Annual Field Day of the Patriarchale. Grand United Order of Odd Fellows was held in this city. There were several companies from Delaware, Washington, D. C., Mary land and Virginia. They held their memorial Sunday night at Mt. Zion Baptist Church. After being welcomed to the city by Col. Hampion H. Wayt Mayor of our city, they made the best address to them on such occasions. It makes me feel proud to have such an honorable man as Mayor of our city. He is something like the late Judge Witt of your city. He is the Mayor of all the people. On September 2nd, they had a proud parade. It was given up by both white and black to be the host the city ever had on parade, you know; 1966 when the city held North. They had a drill of Independence Park widened with a handout at the shining talk on Central Avenue, which was grand affair. They made quite an impression while in the city, with their gentlemanly conduct. They had their session on Tuesday and on Sunday night for their several meetings. I am surely to note at this week that Mr. John Browne, Professor in a natural building, in quite ill. Mr. Harker was arrived late. Mr. Browne, Dr. G. G. Brown, and Mr. Edward Universal were present at the meeting. an at, "Look who's coming" and who do you think it was? On Friday night. September 7th. Rev. D. Webster Davis of your city delivered his masterly lecture. "Jim Grow In Search of the Promised Land" at Mt. Zion Baptist Church to a large and interested audience. From beginning to finish he held his listeners as with magic. It was a remarkable lecture by a remarkable man. D. Webster Davis will be welcomed if ever he wishes to return again. Madame Jacob D. Inventport of Staunton. Va. closed her Summer music class Friday evening, September 13 at Asbury M. E. Church; Brownsburg, Va. She is a recognized, capable instructor. The acting, solos, duets, quartets and drill were of a high class. She has added much to the intellectual growth of young people. We are sorry to have her to leave. We are lost for language to express our thanks for having such a worthy one in our midst. She leaves us with one thought, one prayer from our hearts, that God may bless her to do the work he has assigned to her. So says Rev. J. Lewis. John Chiles has just returned from Atlanta, Ga. where he went as a delegate from King Hiram Lodge No. 1663 to the B. M. C. which held sessions in that city. He reports having a fine time. J. H. A. Adolphus Humbles Painfully Injured in Automobile Accident. Adolphus Humbles, the well-known colored capitalist and business man, yesterday afternoon received serious injuries as a result of a most unusual accident. Yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock he was driving in a buggy down eleventh street from Main to Commerce street, and had just passed an automobile said to belong to the Warfield Balday Company which was operated by a chauffeur named Beggs. The automobile just after it passed the buggy stopped climbing the grade and began to run backwards and be fore the brakes could be applied had crashed into the buggy smashing the two blind wheels and giving its owner a terrific squeeze or blow. He was carried to his home near the city and was attended by Dr. John Walker, who later stated that his patient had sustained a terrific blow across the abdomen and that for a day or so there was danger of peritonitis although he hoped to prevent it.—Lynchburg, Va. News, September 15. 2 Will Show Mr. Roosevelt. (Greenville, Miss. Zion Harp.) That Col. Roosevelt and the third party have no use for the Negro, was evidenced by their treatment of the colored brother at the recent Chicago convention and by his recent utterances setting forth the policy of the third party and its attitude toward the colored voter, the close observer can at once see that Roosevelt has been playing the part of a "Wolf in sheep's clothing" all the while so far as the Negro is concerned, and now that he can see his apparent fate in the coming campaign he reminds us somewhat of a drowning man who grabs at even a straw in his effort to save life. So it is with the Colonel, having been regarded at one time by the American Negro as his strongest friend finds it necessary at this time to shake the very dust off of his heels against the Negro in order to build up a great new political party. The Negro voters both North and South are given cognizance to this fact, and in due time will show Mr. Roosevelt and the third party his attitude in the whole matter. Whys and Whoredown.. The Colonel Negro delegates who were elected delegates to the Southern National convention were questioned. Irwinlar Negro delegates were not seated. Roosevelt and his managers charge was that they weren't asked because they were Roosevelt delegates. Why! Why didn't Manager Dixon and Roosevelt seat them in their convention? Because the Southern white men didn't want them seated. Why did the Colonel specially mention Gilmer and James? Because West Virginia Negroes hold the balance of power and can throw the electoral vote of the State the way it wants it. The species of sophistry on the basis of the president should be reinstated at the polls by every Negro who supports it.

He Meets Assistant Attorney General Lewis. I left Richmond, Va., Sunday, September 8th, at 12:01 via R. F, and P. R. to attend the sessions of the American Bankers' Association at Detroit, Michigan. It was with some reluctance that I did this for I was forced to enter upon the duties of a banker and assume the role of a rich man among the wealthiest magnates of the country. The financial size of the men with whom one is to come in', contact and the financial smallness of the one who is to engage in this is in itself embarrassing. However, I was in for it again and sank back in the easy plush covered arm-chair of the palatial Pullman Parlor car at the Byrd St. Station with all of the nonchalance of a millionaire, totally oblivious of the fact that I carried the features of a Negro and was the accredited representative of the deprived race. THE ASSISTANT-ATTORNEY GENERAL. The frailties, foibles and handicaps of my race passed out of my mind and I lived in the atmosphere of the most favored people of this world. Arriving at Washington at 2:45 P. M. a porter grasped my luggage and after placing it in the check room, I turned around and found myself greeted by Hon. William H. Lewis, Assistant Attorney General of the United States, the able lawyer, who had been the storm centre of the agitation in the American Bar Association. He had recognized me and wanted me to go up to his "den." his wife and children being abroad. He had been advised of my coming and had arranged to meet me. In the meantime, his sister, Mrs. J. J. France of Portsmouth, Va. was to leave the city and he had intended to see her off, but he missed her. WILL NOT RESIGN It was not long before I was at his residence and on the top floor entered his office previously described as his "den." Mr. Lewis was well pleased with the outcome of the meeting at Milwaukee and he had no further comment to make upon the action of the body. When asked if he intended to resign, he replied quickly that he did not contemplate doing so after making the fight. In plainer, language, he could not see the need of making the fight, if he intended to immediately throw the result of the victory away. I read a letter, too, addressed to him by his leading white Friend advising him not to resign at this time, even though he should feel disposed to consider this phase of the situation inter. It developed, too, that Attorney General Wickersham had made the fight in the open and that he had in no wise weakened in the stand he had taken in the matter. WILL STUMP FOR THE PRESIDENT. I asked Attorney Lewis about politics. He admitted that he had been placed in a most embarrassing predicament as between President Taft and ex-President Roosevelt. Both had been devoted friends to him. The attitude of ex-President Roosevelt with reference to the colored people in the Progressive Convention had thoroughly disgusted him and he had decided to take the stump for President Taft, regardless of the consequences. Mr. Lewis has the appearance of a man, difficult to change, when he is "sot in his ways." I talked with him upon many subjects, and then came in Assistant Superintendent E. C. Bruce, and the conversation continued with reference to things political. THE FEELING BITTER It is evident that the feeling against ex-President Roosevelt on the part of the administration's forces is deep-seated and bitter, and that even during the darkest days of the two political parties there could not be more bitterness than is now shown by the two wings of the Republican Party. Still, there are many office-holders who are "sitting tight," not knowing whether it will be President Roosevelt or President Wilson. JOHN MITCHELL, JR. HOSPITAL RESTAINS NEGRO INTERNET President of Health Board "Putts One Over" on Surgeon Staff. President W. P. Motley of the hospital and health board has worked a neat move on the members of the medical and surgical visiting staff of the General hospital, who recently graded examination-papers of five Negro graduates of medical colleges who took examinations for internships at the old General Hospital. The move was so neat that it already has been referred to as the "royal kibosh." At the last meeting of the hospital and health board a petition signed by fourteen of the eighteen members of the visiting staff recommended that the board displace the Negro interns at the old hospital by white ones. The principal reason given was that only five young graduates took the examination to fill the four vacancies soon to exist, and that not one of the five had made the required grade of 75 percent. The papers, which had been graded by a half dozen members of the staff, who had prepared the questions, ranged from 30 to 65 percent out of a possible 100 per cent. "Just give me those papers," said President Motley last week. "I will bring them back next week. I would like to know how a man can go to medical school four years, be graduated there and then make such grades." SPRINGS HIS COUP Yesterday at the meeting of the board Mr. Motley, with an "I thought so" expression, surprised the rest of the members by announcing his coup "I have four sets of papers here which I had regraded by physicians not connected with our medical and surgical staff," he announced. "The men I asked to do this work were simply handed the queen, long asked these men, with their answers. They were not even cold they were Negroes. The papers were numbered from one to four and bore not even a name. Look over the results for yourself. It was seen that No. 1, who had received a grade of 30 per cent on the part of the visiting staff, had been given 59 per cent; No. 2, who had received 63 per cent was graded 63 per cent; No. 3, who had been given 55 per cent was raised to 85 1-2 per cent; and No. 4, whose grade was 63 per cent, rose to 87 1-2 per cent. APPLICANTS NOTIFIED The papers of No. 5 have not yet been regraded. President Motley asked A. C. Stowell to take them and give them to any disinterested physician and he would agree to abide by the result. The board or dered yesterday that the four men receiving the highest averages he notified that they had won positions as internes and to prepare to report for duty in October, when the year of the men now at work expires. President Murley always has favored having Negro internets, nurses and visiting physicians at the old hospital. It is said that the regu lar staff of the new hospital wants white internets in the old institution because of the unusual clinical material found there which is not found among white patients. —Kansas City Journal Guest at Hotel Dale, Cape May, N.

Will Never Reach White House (Charleston, W. Va. Mountain- Leader.) If the South is to count the Negro in its representation in Congress, why should not he have some say who shall govern the South? Take away the Negro vote in the South and the South wouldn't have one-fifth of its present representation in Congress. Discount the Negroes of voting age in the South and there wouldn't be one-fifth of the Southern electoral vote for which Mr. Roosevelt has sacrificed the Negro upon the altar of his overpowering ambition. If he meant to be fair why did he not advocate the reduction of Southern representation in Congress? If he was going to indorse the disfranchisement of the Negro in the South why did he not advocate the cutting off of Southern representation? Oh so, that would not serve his purpose. That would have thwarted his fell purpose. That would have closed the door of the White House completely against him and he stood for nothing which did not stand for Roosevelt. Thank God we find some consolation in the whole matter and that is he will never reach the White House by the way of the South. He may have sacrificed the Negro but he has not won the South. ____ , ____ PERSONAL6 AND BRIEF —Mrs. Thomas H.

SOME IDEA OF THE TENTH CAVALRY. The Teeth United States Cavalry, the famous Negro regiment which has made such noted record in the Army has had an interesting past. It is regarded as one of the most efficient regiments in the service. It was organized in 1850 by Col. Benjamin Grierson who was the father of the present commander. None of the original members of the regiment are living, but there are several who have done service in the regiment upwards of 20 years or more. Among those who have been in the regiment upwards of twenty years is Quartermaster Silas Johnson of Troop D. The regiment made a visit to New York several years ago which was an occasion for a national holiday. SOUTHERN EDUCATOR IN THE METROPOLIS Prof. C. B. Johnson who is the financial representative of the Fort Valley High and Industrial School of Fort Valley, Ga., is in the Metropolitan relative to business pertaining to the school. He has just ended a tour which carried him through New England and other sections and of which he reports to be successful. Prof. Johnson is one of our most capable educators and has had a large experience in educational work. He was born in Greenville, S. C. and educated in the public schools under Prof. J. O. Martin. He afterwards entered Biddle University from which he graduated in 1897. His first work was at the Harbison College at Abbotton, C. where he remained for 20 years. He was then called up work at Fort Valley I. to Industrial School of which J. A. Hunt is principal. He succeeds the late J. H. Torbert who was a long while financial agent of the school. Prof. Johnson is meeting with much success in his work. He has the faculty for making friends which will stand him in good stand in his work. A BUSINESS WOMAN MAKING GOOD. Among the business women of the race who are "making good" in their specific line of work, is Mrs. Lucile Laing who conducts a successful hair dressing and manicure school and parlor at 70 West 132rd Street in the heart of the business section of the race in the Metropolis. It is one of the largest establishments of its kind in the city. Mrs. Laing since coming to the city has built up a lucrative trade, and has dignified the profession to a large degree. She has turned out twenty-three graduates from her school, all of whom are succeeding. She employs steadily at her establishment most seven young women who are carrying on her current trade, and assist in giving instruction in the various branches of hair dressing. Mrs. Laing is thoroughly proficient at her work, and has had a PRICE. FIVE CENTS larger experience. She was born in Washington, D. C., and was educated in the public schools of the city. She studied a year at Howard University and afterward went to Chicago where she took up the hair dressing trade under Madame De Friend the well-known hairdresser of Chicago. Mrs. Laing has conducted establishments in Chicago, Atlantic City and other cities. She came to New York in 1904 where she has remained ever since. Mrs. Laing stands high in the church, business and social circles of the Metropolis, and takes an active interest in any movement having for its aim the betterment of the young women of the race. WHAT THE PLANET CORRESPONDENT WOULD LIKE TO SEE. Better conduct of the race in pub lie places. That the large number of idle young Negroes who stand on the street corners in our large cities would find employment. A better type of Negro politicians Better trained Negro ministers who would not seek to parade de- gress that have not been earned. More proficient Y. M. C. A. Secretaries. A deeper race pride. More fearless Negro editors like John Mitchell, Jr. of The PLANET, George W. Harris of the Amsterdam News, B. F. Davis of the Independent, Roscoe Simmons of the Illinois Chronicle and T. Thomas Fortune of the New York Age. A Negro daily. A stronger womanhood. A thoroughly reliable, capable and dignified set of colored newspaper correspondents. More respect for the women of the race. Another Negro Dembar. Negroes saving more of their mines of Stronger sermons from the pulpit A deeper interest in Africa. More young men and women of the race entering Northern Universi- ties. GENERAL NEWS Willie Clarke, one of the enter- prising young men of the city is back in the Metropolis after a pleas ant vacation. He will resume his duties as teacher in the Sunday School of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Among the race journals to subscribe to the news service of Allen's National News Bureau are the Advocate of Cambridge, Mass., the New York Pilot and the Seattle Searchlight. The Colored Progressives are waging an enthusiastic campaign and are creating an impression. Rev Dr. W. P. Hayes of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church is still making good. Lass Hospital in Philadelphia and the author of "Aftermath of Slavery" is visiting in the city on business.

THE MUSIC OF THE MUSIC OF THE MUSIC THE THREE GUARDSMEN PROLOGUE If you are young and have never read "The Three Guardsmen" do yourself the favor of adding D'Artagnan, Porthos, Aramis and Athos to your list of friends. They are real men, with a story which has interested millions, so that they stand now in the world's mind for courage, loyalty, sincerity and everything else that goes to make up friendship. Their story—that good old tale that holds a worthy place in the classics—has not been capped in sustained romantic interest by any of its modern imitations, for no one else but Dumas could relate such wonderful adventures helped by his three friends, defied the power of the real king of France, the great Cardinal Kitchien, helped the queen when she needed assistance so badly and fotted the plots of misady, the fascinating schemer who is considered by many readers the most interesting woman in literature. If you are older and read "The Three Guardsmen" in your younger days you need no invitation to reread the story. It sticks in the mind as one of the most delightful of memories. CHAPTER I The Three Presents of M. D'Artagnan the Elder. ON the first Monday of the month of April, 1825, the bourg of Meeting, in which the author of the "Romance of the Rose" was born, appeared to be in as perfect a state of revolution as if the Huguenots had just made a second Rochelle of it. Many citizens were directing their steps toward the hostility of the Frank-Moumer, before which was gathered, increasing every minute, a compact group, so ferulous and full of curiosity. When arrived there the cause of this hubbub was apparent to all a young man. We an sketch his portrait at a dash in line to yourself a Don Quivote of eighteen, a Don Quivote without his coat, without his coat of malt, clothed in a wooden doublet the blue color of which had faded into a nameless shade between feet of wine and a heavenly azure; face long and brown; high cheek bones, the maxillary muscles enormously developed, an infallible sign by which a Gascon may always be detected. He might have been taken for a farmer's son upon a journey had it not been for the long sword, which, dangling from a leather baldrick, hit against the calves of its owner as he walked. Our young man had a steed which was the observed of all observers. It was a Bear pony from twelve to fourteen years old, yellow in his hide, without a hair in his tail, but not without windgalls on his legs, which, though going with his head lower than his knees, rendering a martingale quite unnecessary, contrived nevertheless to perform his eight leagues a day. The appearance of the said pony produced an unfavorable feeling, which extended to his master. And this feeling had been the more painfully perceived by young D'Artagnan from his not being able to conceal from himself the ridiculous appearance that such a steed gave him, good horseman as he was. He had sighed deeply, therefore, when accepting the gift of the pony from M. D'Artagnan the elder. By ALEXANDRE DUMAS way nowadays. Never fear quartets, but way hazardous adventures. I have taught you how to handle a sword. You have the thwes of iron, a wrist of steel. Fight on all occasions. Fight the more for duels being forbidden, since consequently there is twice as much courage in fighting. I have nothing to give you, my son, but 15 crowns, my horse and the councils you have just heard. Your mother will add to them a recipe for a certain balam which she had from a Robbenian and which has the miraculous virtue of curing all wounds that do not reach the heart. Seek M. de Treville, who was formerly my neighbor and who had the honor to be as a child the playfellow of our king, Louis XIII, whom God preserve. He is now captain of the king's musketeers—that is to say, leader of a legion of Caesars, whom the king holds in great esteem and whom the archal treade—he who dreads nothing, as it is said. Still further, M. de Treville, 1650's crowns a year. He is therefore a great noble. He begins as you begin. Go to him with this letter, and make him your model in order that you may do as he has done. Upon which M. d'Artagnan the elder gridded his own sword around his son, kissed him tenderly on both cheeks and gave him his benediction. The same day the young man set forward on his journey, furnished with the three paternal presents, which consisted, as we have said, of 15 crowns, the horse and the letter for M. de Treville, the counsels being thrown into the bargain. On his way d'Artagnan took every smile for an insult and every look as a protection, whence it resulted that from Tarleton to Meing his fist was constantly doubled or his hand on the hilt of his sword, and yet the fist did not descend upon any jaw, nor did the sword issue from its scabbard. But there, in Mening, as he was alighting from his horse at the gate of the Franc-Meunier, without any one host, waiter or hostet, coming to hold his stirrup or take his horse, D'Arragan spied, through an open window on the ground floor, a gentleman well made and of good curriage, although of rather a stern countenance, talking with two persons who appeared to listen to him with respect. D'Arragan fancied, quite naturally, according to his custom, that he must be the object of their conversation and listened. This time D'Arragan was only in part mistaken. He knew it was not in question, but his horse was He lived his laughly eye upon the stranger, who made one of his most knowing and profound remarks respecting the *Bartheuse* upon which his two authors laughed even longer than to fetch, and he himself, though contrary to his custom, allowed a pale smile to stray over his counter-name. This time, there could be no doubt, D'Artagnan was really insulted. Full, then, of this insult, he said, with a futious gesture: "I say, sir, you sir, who are hiding yourself behind that shatter; yes you, sir, tell me what you are laughing at, and we will laugh together." The gentleman with drew his eyes slowly from the ring to his master and, with an敏捷 of his mind insolence impossible to be repiled to D'Artagnan: "I was not speaking to you, sir" "But I am speaking to you!" replied the young man. The unknown looked at him again with a slight smile and, retiring from the window, came out of the hostelry with a slow step and placed himself before, the horse within two paces of D'Artagnan. D'Artagnan, seeing him, approach, drew his sword a foot out of the seabard. "There are people who laugh at a horse that would not dare to laugh at the master of it!" cried the young man. "I do not often laugh, sir," replied the unknown, "as you may perceive by the air of my countenance; but, nevertheless, I retain the privilege of laughing when I please." "And I," cried D'Artagnan, "will allow no man to laugh when it displeases me." "Indeed, sir," continued the unknown more calm than ever. "Well, that is perfectly right!" and, turning on his heel, was about to re-enter the hostel by the front gate, under which D'Artagnan on arriving had observed a saddled horse. But D'Artagnan drew his sword entirely from the scabbard and following him, crying. "Turn, turn. Master Joaker, kept I strike you behind!" "Strike me!" said the other, turning sharply round and surveying the young man with as much astonishment as contempt. "Why, my good fellow, you must be mad!" He had so accurately finished when D'Artagnan made such a furious lunge at him that if he had not spring nimbly backward he would have jeered for the last time. The unknown then, perceiving that the matter was beyond a joke, drew his sword, saluted his adversary and placed himself on his guard. But at the same moment his two auditories, accompanied by the host, fell upon D'Artagnan with attacks, blows and tongues. This caused so, rapid and complete a diversion, to the attack that D'Artagnan's adversary ashamed his award with the same precision and from an actor, which he A man is being pushed down a street by a crowd of people.

Fell Upon D'Artagnan With Sticks and Tonga. had nearly been, became a spectator of the fight, a part in which he acquitted himself with his usual impasibility, muttering, nevertheless: "A plague upon these Gassolons! Put him on his orange horse again and let him begone." "Not before I have killed you, polroom!" cried D'Artagnan, making the best face possible, and never giving back one step before his three assistants, who continued to shower their bees upon him. The night was prologued for some seconds, but at length D'Artagnan's sword was struck from his hand by the bloom of a stick, and broken in two pieces. Another blow full upon his forehead at the game moment brought him to the ground, covered with blood and almost fainting. It was at this period that people came knocking to the scene of motion from all ports. The host, fearful of consequences, with the help of his servants, carried the wounded man into the kitchen, where some trifling attention was bestowed upon him. As to the gentleman, he resumed his place at the window and surveyed the crowd with a certain air of impatience, evidently annoyed by their remaining undispersed. "Well, how is it with this madman?" exclaimed he, turning round as the opening door announced the entrance of the host, who came to inquire if he was unhurt. "He is better," said the host. "He fainted quite away. We rummaged his valise and found nothing but a clean shirt and twelve crowns, which, however, did not prevent his saying as he was fainting that if such a thing had happened in Paris you should have instantly repented of it." "Then," said the unknown coldly, "he must be some prince in disguise. Did he name no one in his passion?" "Yes; he struck his pocket and said, 'We shall see what M. de Treville will think of this insult offered to his protege.'" "M. de Treville?" said the unknown, becoming attentive. "He put his hand upon his pocket while pronouncing the name of M. de Treville? What was there in the pocket?" "A letter addressed to M. de Treville, captain of the munitions." The unknown knelt his brows like a man suddenly received money. "The devil," answered he, between his teeth. "One Treville have not met Goscon upon him! Heet," said he, should you not consent to see this frantic boy for me? In conscience I cannot kill him, and yet," added he with a coldly, menacing expression, "and yet he annoys me. Where is he? "In my wife's chamber, where they are dressing his hurts, on the first floor." "Milly must see nothing of this fellow," said the stranger to himself. "She will soon pass; she is already late. I had better get on homeback and go and meet her. I should like, however, to know what this letter addressed to Troville contains." And the unknown, muttering to him, directed his steps toward the kitchen. After the Treville was perhaps by the mii He commenced the lost letter "Does the valuable? few minutes" "Zoundes!

Court "It would rattle toes than A ray on upon the m In the meantime the host who entered talmed no doubt that it was the presence of the young man that drove the unknown from his hostelry, reascended to his wife's chamber and found D'Artagnan just recovering his senses. Derraring him for having sought a quarrel with a great lord, for, in the opinion of the host, the unknown could be nothing less than a great lord, he in sisted that, notwithstanding his weakness, he should get up and depart as quickly as possible. D'Artagnan, half stupefied, without his doublet and with his head bound up in a linen cloth, arose then and, urged forward by the host, began to descend the stairs, but on arriving at the kitchen the first thing he saw was his antagonist talking calmly at the step of a heavy carriage drawn by two large Norman horses. His interpreter, whose head appeared through the carriage window, was a woman of from twenty to two and twenty years of age. She was young and pale and fair, with long curls falling in profusion over her shoulders; bird large blue, languishing eyes, rosy lips and hands of slabaster "His eminence, then, orders me"—said the lady. "To return instantly to England and to inform him immediately the duke leaves London." "And my other instructions?" asked the fair trader. "They are contained in this box, which you will not even until you are on the other side of the channel." "Very well; and you, what are you going to do?" "I-oh, I shall return to Paris." "Iooh, I shall return to Paris. "What, without chastising this innocent boy?" asked the lady. The unknown was about to reply, but at the moment he opened his mouth, D'Artagnan, who had heard all, rushed forward through the open door. "This fine man boy chastisher others," cried he, "and I have good hope that he whom he means to chastise will not escape him as he did before." "Remember," cried unlady, seeing the unknown lay his hand on his sword—"remember that the least delay may ruin everything." "True," cried the gentleman. "Be gone, then, on your part, and I will depart as quickly on mine." And bowing to the lady, he spring into his saddle, her cochman at the same time applying his whip vigorously to his bones. The two interlocutors thus separated, taking opposite directions at full gallop. "Your reckoning! Your reckoning!" vociferated the host. "Pay him, loosely," cried the unknown to his servant, without checking the speed of his horse, and the man, after throwing two or three pieces of silver at the foot of mine host, galloped after his master at full speed. "Base coward! False goutteauman!" cried D'Artagnan, springing forward in his turn after the servant. But his wound had rendered him too weak to support such an overture. "He is a coward indeed," grumbled the host, drawing near to D'Artagnan, and endowing by this little battery to make up matters with the young man, as the heion of the fable did with the small be had desired the evening before. "Yes, a base coward," murmured D'Artagnan, "but she she was very beautiful." "What she?" demanded the host. "Mildly," faltered D'Artagnan and faltered. "Ah, it's all one," said the host. "I have lost two customers, but this one remains, of whom I am pretty certain for some days to come, and that will be 12 crowns gained at all events." CHAPTER II. The Antechamber of M. de Treville W. must remember that 12 crowns was just the amount that was left in D'Artaguan's purse. The host, had reckoned upon eleven days of confinement at a crown a day, but he had reckoned without his guest. On the following morning at 5 o'clock D'Artaguan arrose, and, descending to the kitchen, composed his mother's balsam, with which he anointed his numerous wounds, replacing his bandages himself and positively refusing the assistance of any doctor. He was almost cured by the morrow. But when the time came to pay his reckoning D'Artaguan found nothing in his pocket but his little old vetret purse with the 12 crowns it contained. As to the letter addressed to M. de Treville, it had disappeared. The young man commenced his search for the letter with the greatest patience, but when he had come, to the conviction that the letter was not to be found he drew into a rage and threatened to destroy everything in the establishment if his letter were not found. "My letter of recommendation!" cried D'Artingian. "My letter of recommendation, or I will spit you all like so many ortolana." Unfortunately there was one circumstance which created a powerful obstacle to the accomplishment of this threat, which was, as we have related, that his sword had been in his first combat broken in two and which he had perfectly forgotten. "Where is this letter?" cried he. "I warn you that that letter is for M. de Trevillard and it must be found. If it is not, not only found he will know how to cause it to be found. I'll answer for it." This threat intimidated the host. After the king and the cardinal M. M. Treville was the man whose name was perhaps most frequently reported by the military and even by citizens. He commenced an earnest search for the lost letter. "Does the letter contain anything valuable?" demanded the host after a few minutes of useless investigation. "Zounds! I think it does indeed!" cried the Gascon, who reckoned upon this letter for making his way at court. "It contained my fortune. I would rather have lost a thousand photones than have lost it." A ray of light all at once broke upon the mind of the host, as he was giving himself to the devil upon finding nothing. "That letter is not lost!" cried he. "It has been stolen." "Stolen. By whom?" "By the gentleman who was here yesterday. He came down into the kitchen, where your doublet was. He remained there some time alone." "Then that's the man that has robbed me," replied B. Artagnan. "I will complain to M. de Treville, and M. de Treville will complain to the king." He then drew 2 crowns majestically from his purse, gave them to the host and remounted his yellow horse, which lore him without any further accident to the gate of St. Antoine at Paris, where his owner sold him for 8 crowns. Thus B. Artagnan entered Paris on foot, carrying his little packet under his arm, and walked about till he found an apartment to be let on terms suited to the scantiness of his means. This chamber was a sort of garret situated in the rue des Fossoyeurs, near the Luxembourg. As soon as the earliest penny was paid D'Artagnan went to the Qual de Ferrille to have a new blade put to his sword and then returned toward the Loure, inquiring of the first musketer he met with for the situation of the hotel of M. de Treville. M. de Treville, as his family was still called in Gascony, or M. de Treville, as he had ended by styling himself in Paris, had really commenced life as D'Artagnan now did, without a sou in his pocket, but with a fund of courage, shrewdness and intelligence that makes the poorest Gascon gentleman often derive more in his hope from the paternal inheritance than the richest Pengordian or Berrian gentleman derives in reality from his. His insolent bravery, his still more insolent success at a time when blows poured down like hail, had burned him to the top of that ladder called court favor, which he had climbed four steps at a time. Louis XIII, had a real liking for Treville, a royal liking, a seafish liking, it is true, but which was still a liking. At that unhappy peg it was an important consideration to be surrounded by such men as be Treville. Many might take for their device the epithet of strong, which formed the second part of Treville's motto, but very few gentlemen could lay claim to the faithful, which constituted the first. Louis XIII, made be Treville the captain of his musketeers, who were devoted to the king. On his part and in this respect the cardinal was not beholdish with the king. When he saw the formidable and chosen body by which Louis XIII surrounded himself, this second, or rather, this first king of France, became desirous that he, too, should have his guard. These two powerful rulers vied with each other in procuring the most celebrated swordsmen, not only from all the provinces of France, but even from all foreign states. Each boasted the bearing and the courage of his own people, and, while exclaiming loudly against duels and broils, they excited them secretly to quarrel, deriving an imminent satisfaction or a true regret at the success or defeat of their own combatants. Treville's soldiers formed a legion of devil may care fellows, perfectly undisciplined as regarded every one but himself. Loose, half drunk, imposing, the king's musketeers, or, rather, M. de Treville's, spread about in the cabcerts, in the public walks and the public sports shouting, twisting their muscaches, clanking their swords and taking great pleasure in annoying the guards of M. de Cardinal whenever they could fail in with them, then drawing in the open streets as if it were the best of all possible sports; sometimes killed, but sure in that case to be both wept and avenged; often killing others, but, then, certain of not rotting in prison, M. de Treville being there to claim them. M. de Treville, adored and obeyed implicitly, was praised to the highest note by these men. The court of M. de Treville's house, situated in the Hue du Vieux-Colomber, resembled a camp, and that by 6 o'clock in the morning in summer and 8 o'clock in winter. From fifty to sixty musketeers who appeared to relieve each other in order always to present an imposing number, paraded constantly about, armed to the teeth and ready for anything. The day on which D'Artagnan presented himself the assemblage was imposing, particularly for a provincial just arriving from his province. When he had once passed the massive door, covered with long square headed nails, he fell into the midst of a troop of men of the sword who crossed each other in their passage, calling out, quarrelling and playing tricks one among another. He could not help observing that they turned round to look at him, and for the first time in his life D'Artagnan, who had till that day entertained a very good opinion of himself, felt that he was the object of ridicule. When arrived at the staircase it was still worse. There were four maskeders on the bottom steps anning themselves with the following exercise, while ten or twelve of their comrades waited upon the landing place, their turns to take their places in the sport. One of them, placed upon the top stair, nailed sword in hand, prevented, or at least endeavored to prevent, the three others from going up. These three others fenced against him with their armes, swords, which Antegan at first took for fells and believed to be beaten, but he made putatively by certain swords that every PARKER These Three Others Faced Against Him With Their Agile Swords. weapon was pointed and sharpened and that at each of these scratches not only the spectators, but even the actors themselves laughed like madmen. "On the landing they were no longer fighting, but amused themselves with stories about women and in the ante-chamber with stories about the court. On the landing D'Artagnan blushed; in the ante-chamber he trembled. There to his great astonishment, D'Artagnan heard the cardinal's policy which made all Europe tremble criticised aloud and openly as well as his private life. "Certes, these fellows will all be either embattled or bung." thought the terrified D'Artagnan, and I, no doubt, with them, for the moment I have either listened to or heard them I shall be hold to be an accomplice." D'Artagnan begged the servant who had put question to him to request a moment's audience of M. de Treville, a request which the other, with an air of protection, promised to convey in time and season. D'Artagnan, a little recovered from his surprise, had now leisure to study costumes and countenances. The center of the most animated group was a musketeer of great height, of a haughty countenance and dressed in a costume so peculiar as to attract general attention. He did not wear the uniform cloak, which indeed at that time, less of liberty than of still greater independence, was not obligatory, but a cerulean blue doublet, a little faded and worn, and over this a magnificent baldrick worked in gold, which shone like water ripples in the sun. A long cloak of crimson velvet fell in graceful folds from his shoulders, disclosing in front the splendid baldrick, from which was suspended a gigantic rapi. This musketeer had just come off guard, complained of having a cold and coughed from time to time affectedly. It was for this reason, he said to those around him, he had put on his cloak. "Ah, Porthos," cried one of his companions, "don't think to palm upon us that you obtained by baldrick by parental generosity. It was given to you by that velled lady I met you with the other Sunday near the gate Saint Honeore." "No, 'pon honor. By the faith of a gentleman, I bought it with the contents of my own purse," answered he whom they designated under the name of Porthos. "I paid 12 pistoles for it. Is it not true, Aramis?" said Porthos, turning toward another musketeer. This other musketeer formed a perfect contrast with his interrogator, who had just designated him by the name of Aramis. He was a stout man of about two or three and twenty, with an open, ingenuous countenance, a black, mild eye and cheeks rosy and downy as an autumn peach. His delicate mustache marked a perfectly straight line upon his upper lip. He appeared to dread to lower his hands lost their veins to swell, and he pinched the tips of his ears from time to time to preserve their delicate pink transparency. He answered by a nod. This affirmation appeared to dispel all doubts with regard to the baldrick. They continued to admire it, but said no more about it, and, with one of the rapid changes of thought, the conversation passed suddenly to another subject. "What do you think of the story Chalais' acquire relates?" asked another munketeer. "He relates that he met at Brussels Rochefort, the tool on the cardinal, disguised as a capuchin and that this Rochefort, thanks to his disguise, had tricked M. de Laguise, like a simpleton as he is." "A simpleton indeed," said Forthox, "but is the matter certain?" "I had it from Aramis," replied the muskeeter. "Indeed!" "Why, you know it in, Porthos," said Aramis. "I told you of it yesterday. Say nothing more about in." "Say nothing more about it!" replied Porthos. "What, the cardinal sets a spy upon a gentleman, has his letters stolen from him by means of a traitor, a brigand, a rascal—has, with the help of this spy, and thanks to this correspondence, Chalais' threat cut under the stupid pretent that he wanted to kill the king and marry moucheur to the queen! Let us say no more about it." "Well, then, let us speak about it, since you desire it," replied Aramis patiently. "This Rochefort," cried Porthos. "If I were poor Chalais' acquaint, should pass a minute or two very uncomfortably with me." "And you—you would pass rather a and half hour with the Bpd Dynom" replied Aramis. "I'll circulate that saying, he answered, my dear fellow. Why say this Arems is not a witt? What a delirious abbe you would have made?" "Oh, it's only a temporary postment," replied Aramis. "I shall be one same day. You very well know, Porton, that I continue to study theology for that purpose." "He will be one, as he may," cried Porton. "He will be one sooner or later." "Noon," said Aramis. "My dear fellow, be a musketeer or an abbe. Be one or the other, but not both," replied Porthos. "You know what Athos told you the other day, you eat at everybody's mess. Ah, don't be angry, I beg of you. That would be useless. You know what is agreed upon between you, Athos, and me." "Gentlemen, gentlemen!" cried the surrounding group. "Monsleur de Treville awaits M. d'Aragagnon." cried a servant, throwing open the door of the cabinet. At this announcement, during which the door remained open, every one became mute, and amid the general silence the young man crossed the antechamber in a part of its length and entered the apartment of the captain of the musketeers. CHAPTER III. The Audience M. DE TREVILLE was at the moment in rather an ill humor, nevertheless he is lured the young man no. moment in rather than humor, nevertheless he admitted the young man politely, who bowed to the very ground, and he amused on receiving his compliment, the Bearsee accent of which recalled to him at the same time his youth and his country, a double remembrance, which makes a man smile at all ages. But, stepping toward the antechamber and making a sign to D'Artagnan with his hand, as if to ask his permission to finish with others before he began with him, he called three times, with a louder voice at each time, so that he went through all the tones between the imperative accent and the angry accent. "Athos! Porthos! Aramis!" The two musketeers immediately quitted the group of which they formed a part and advanced toward the cabinet, the door of which closed after them as soon as they had entered. "Do you know what the king said to me," cried M. de Treville, "and that no longer ago than yesterday evening—do you know, gentlemen?" "No," replied the two musketeers, after a moment's silence—"no, sir, we do not." "He told me that he should henceforth recruit his musketeers from among the guards of M. the Cardinal." "The guards of M. the Cardinal!" cried Porthos. "Yes, yes," continued M. de Treville, growing warmer as he spoke, "and his majesty was right. M. le Cardinal related yesterday, while playing with the king, with an air of condolence not very pleasing to me, that the day before yesterday those musketeers, those darederella, had made a riot in the Rue Perou in a cabaret and that a party of his guards (I thought he was going to laugh in my face) had been forced to arrest the rioters. You must know something about it! Arrest musketeers! You were among them—you were! Don't deny it. You were recognized, and the cardinal named you. I don't see Athos! Where is he?" "Sir," replied Aramis, in a sorrowful tone, "he is ill, very ill." "Ill—very ill, may you? And what is his malady?" "It is feared that it is the smallpox, sir," replied Porthos, desirous of getting a word in the conversation, "and, what is worse, that it will certainly spoil his face." "The smallpox. That's a pretty glorious story to tell me. Portshelf: Sick of the smallpox at his age! No, no; but wounded, without doubt—perhaps killed. Ah, if I knew! Messieurs muskeeteers, I will not have occasion given for the cardinal's guards, who are brave, quiet, skillful men who never put themselves in a position to be arrested, and who, besides, never allow themselves to be arrested, to laugh at you!" Porthos and Aramis trembled with rage. Without all had heard, as we have said, Athos. Porthos and Aramis called and had guessed from M. de Treville's tone of voice that he was very angry about something. Then curious heads were glued to the tapestry and became pale with fury, for their ears, closely applied to the door, did not lose a sylvable of what he said, while their months repeated, as he went on, the insulting expressions of the captain to the whole population of the antechamber. In an instant from the door of the cabinet to the street gate the whole hotel was in a state of commotion. "Well, captain," said Porthos, quite beside himself, "the truth is that we were six against six, but we were not captured by fair, means, and before we had time to draw our swords, two of our party were dead, add Athos, grievously wounded, was very little beaver. For you know Athos. Well, captain, he endeavored twice to get up and fell again twice. And we did not surrender-no, they dragged us away by force. On the way we escaped. As for Athos, they believed him to be dead and left him." "And I have the honor of assuring you that I killed one of them with his own sword," said Aramia, "for mine was broken at the first parry—killed him or poslarded him, sir, as is most agreeable to you." "I did not know that," replied M. de Treville, in a somewhat softened tone. "M. le Cardinal exaggerated, as I perceive." "But pray, sir," continued Aramaic, who, seeing his captain become appalled, ventured to risk a prayer—"pray, sir, do not say that Athens is wounded. He would be in danger if that should come to the ears of the king, and as the wound is very serious, seeing that after meeting this shoulder it penetrates into the chest it is so he found." At this moment the captain paused, and a single shot beaten. a < ; ; ‘ ‘SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 21, 1913 " "Athos!" cried the two musketeers. “You bare scat for me, sir.” sale Athos to M. de Trevillo in a feeble Jet perfectly calm voice, “What do yot ‘want with me?” Aud at these words tho munketeer in irrepronchable costume, belted, as ‘usual with a tolerebly Orm step, enter: ed the cabinet.

The outlook in New York State is not bright for either the Republicans or the Democrats. Unless all signs fail, there is a growing suspicion that the Empire State will wheel into the Roosevelt columns. That Party made a very strong nomination for Governor and it is very doubtful that either of the old parties can nominate a man to beat Oscar S. Straus for Governor. Still there is such a thing as "swapping votes." Race prejudice is as intense throughout the country now as it was just before the Civil War. Senator B. R. Tillman, Thomas Dixon, Jr. and ex-President Roosevelt have done their work well. They have been strongly assisted too by the hoodlum, disreputable Negroes, who have been sent throughout the Northern and Western sections of the United States to the embarrassment of every upright, respectful justice loving colorful man in the country. It is announced that Dr. Booker T. Washington is supporting President Taft. He is not saying anything in the open for him however. One of the most interesting reports as yet given out is that when Dr. Washington was the victim of Ulrich's cruel blows. President Taft sent him a letter expressing his confidence in his innocence. Ex-President Roosovelt sent him a letter also in which he stated that he hoped that he might be able to prove his innocence. This is in keeping with the attitude of ex-President Roosevelt on the Brownsville affair. He reversed the legal jurisprudence of the country, which requires that the accuser shall prove the guilt of the accused. It will be interesting information though to learn that the distinguished educator has found a standing place upon this presidential question. DISGRACEFUL HAPPENING. The failure of the B. M. C. of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows to elect a Most Worbigful Grand Master at Atlanta, Georgia last week and the necessity for police protection. Southern officers being called into the meeting in a Southern city to restore order is a stigma upon the race and a disgrace to the organization. In the chair was one of the ablest men, regardless of race in the country. Attorney Edward S. Morris is not, only a citizen of rare ability, but is said to possess a fortune. Surrounding him were some of the bravest men in the race today. Hon. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia for a time occupied the chair and in spite of all of this deceased disgrateful scenes occurred and the practical inability of this great ornamentator which boasts of a member bip of half a million members, to govern itself was plainly apparent. They must be a candidate for all of this and it behooves the able men to find it out and apply the remedy. The meeting of those was more like a mob than like a Elegant Movable Committee. These exhibitions just now can do the race no good and they need to do as much harm, being provided to as objectless of the inability of our people to govern themselves. We can point to the Congress of the United States and to the white political conventions but none of these things can have the effect of an orally gathering properly conducted and in such a fair manner as to win the support of all parties to the controversy. It may be necessary for the rank and file of the Order to attend in RS majesty and attend in the Rt. Mgr. WKH is present at all of the duties he may have that day! A DRAWN BATTLE The arrival of the Secretary of State of New York at Dayton, Ohio recently in applying for an appointment to preside the local borough of colored Elis from among the problems of the Order would seem to indicate that the present decision of the Supreme Court of the United States of the year of the Knights of Pythia of Georgia was not as the president as was at first supposed. The colored Elis of New York are now departed from serving the emblem and display of the nation of the Order on that State under a recent decision of the Supreme Court of New York. The national body of colored Elis in session at Dayton found it necessary to adjourn in haste to make of no offer the local proceeding, instituted in this Ohio city. A close investigation on of the recent Knights of Pythias descent in the Georgia case reveals the fact that while the orded Pythias can not use the orded Pythias, Order by Article of the Charter order which the Supreme Lodge operates and which was issued in the District of Columbia, the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of Georgia colored cannot apply for a charter of incorporation, being restrained from so doing by the mandate of the State court, which mandate was not interfered with by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. It would seem then that after spending more than twenty-five thousand dollars in the litigation, the Supreme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N. A. S. N. B. A. A. and A. and the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Georgia are both just where they started. The latter can do business just as it did before without a charter and the supreme tribunal is powerless to enforce its authority in the State of Georgia by virtue of the charter of incorporation which it holds in the District of Columbia. The perpetual injunction granted by the Superior Court of Fulton county, Georgia and which was sustained by the Supreme Court of Georgia and the Supreme Court of the United States reads as follows: That the dekree of Charles D. Gressall, George N. Mey, George R. Hutto, N. B. Adamson, Boss W. Warren, George W. Brown, James W. Davis, Edwin J. Turner, Garrett Taylor and Lucas L. Lee and each of them and their associates, confederates and successors be and they are hereby perpetually enjoined as in said petition prayed, and especially as follows: That said defendants and their associates, confederates and successors are hereby perpetually enjoined from prosecuting their petition for incorporation and from further proceeding to become incorporated under the name and style of 'The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, Jurisdiction of Georgia****** In confirming this decree, the United States Supreme Court in its opinion said: "Whether or not the defendants below and their successors were entitled to prosecute in the State court the application to be made a domestic incorporation of Georgia is, in our opinion plainly a question non-federal in character, and we therefore pass its consideration." This leaves the Georgia injunction in full force and effect. The conclusion of the litigation reminds one THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA. very much of the preacher, who after delivering a fervid and impassioned sermon proceeded to send his hat around among the members of the congregation for a donation. Upon its return, he carefully inspected it and found to his disgust that no one had put any money in it. He arose with his eyes raised towards heaven and thanked God that he got his hat back. In the case of the Georgia Grand Lodge and the Supreme Lodge, they did not only expend effort, but virtually lost the hat for the money expended in the case is gone forever. This has been our experience with the Supreme Court in our contensions for our political rights. We have already best ground and it would have proven disheartening to a less cheerful and hopeful people. Still the contest must be kept up and the battle waged to the end of the chapter with the hope that the wind will change, and those now satisfied will be in our favor. BACKER OF RACE BILL A SUICIDE Was Involved in Chaarges That Legislation Has Been Changed After Governor Signed Bill, George C. Morrison, a leader in Democracy, political circles and Mary land campaign manager for Government Weslow Wilson, president of the Title Guarantee and Trust company and one of the leading financial figures of Baltimore, Md., was found dead in a private room of the Baltimore Athletic club, a suicide. The police say that when his body was discovered a gas tube connected with a moving jet was in his mouth. He was about forty years old and was married. The subtitle of Mr. Morrison comes within a few tails of declarations made by Governor Goldsborough that Mr. Morrison and other leaders of the business and personal life of Harford county, where he had a handsome home, had made representations concerning the Harford county racing bill, by which he paved the way for the recently completed Havre de Grace race track. In a public statement Governor Goldsborough had said that he had not been deserved by the statements of Mr. Morrison and other men he would not have signed the bill which allows racing in Harford county. Mr. Morrison was prominently in teested in horse racing. He left a note explaining his act, which the coroner took possession of, and which refusing to make all of it public at this time, he said the dead man referred to the newspaper publicly given to his interest in the race track at Havre de Grace, as one of the reasons for his action. The portion of the note given out said: "I am in trouble only to my God. He knows whether it is just for the self-selfish work of years to be set at naught by the onslaughts of a yellow newspaper, against which there is no defense." Following up the charges by Governor Goldsborough, the grand jury of Hartford county has begun an investigation of the Havre de Grace track and it was intended to summon Mr. Morrison and several others whose names had been mentioned in connection with the matter. Mr. Morrison went to his room in the athletic club house, telling club attendants that he intended to do some work there. That was the last time he was seen alive.

Fungus That Causes Serious Losses to Owners of Apple Orchards. In a circular on the "Apple Bllister Canker and Methods of Treatment," issued by the Ohio agricultural station, it is stated that it is increasingly evident that serious apple diseases must be back of the reported dying of mature apple trees in many parts of Ohio. Field studies of conditions, supplemented by laboratory examination made during the season of 1911 and the early spring of 1912, show that serious cankers are present in these diseased orchards. By the term canker reference is made to any apparent bark Photograph by Ohio agricultural experiment station. DIREARSED APPLE BRANCH, SHOWING ONE-YEAR-OLD CASE OF BLINTEK CANKER disease of fruit trees. In these diseased areas the symptoms of dying bark and extension of disease causing an enlargement of the spots are usually evident. In the southeast and eastern portions of Ohio the condition known as a "neglected apple orchard" is for the greater part caused by the blister canker fungus. The fungus, using a wound parasite, is difficult to control when once it has taken hold of a tree, and, except in cases of slight attack the tree ultimately will succumb to this disease. To prevent infection, from the blister canker fungus it is necessary to prevent the drying of the tissues. It is done by covering the wound with a suitable dressing. Prevention of infection and orchard sanitation, as by removal and destruction of diseased parts, appear to be the only methods of control. --- A WORD FOR OUR FARMERS. It does not follow that the American is a poor farmer because he produces less to the nere. He does this largely because the nere is worth less because, in other words, the man is worth more. The American farmer produces more per year of labor than does the European farmer; he lives much better; gives his children a better education; has, for himself more leisure. When land is worth several hundred dollars an acre and labor but half a dollar a day, then we, too, can make the soil produce more per acre.—Country Gentleman. --- Valet Work For the Horse. To give the horse a glossy coat wash him thoroughly with warm water and castle soap. When thoroughly dry rub sawnish in the wrong way of the hair and let it stay on all night. This remove in the morning with a stiff brush, being sure to get every particle out. Then take a fannel cloth, dampened with coal tar, and go all over the animal, after which rub him with an other cloth until he is dry, and the work is done. By dipping one's thumb in vinegar and pinching it on the horse he can be made to look dapple, how ever, the point being to give the thumb a twist around in each place where a dapple is wanted. - American Cultivator. Dieta For Calves. Hay tea is recommended for calf rearing. Four boiling waters over good hay and let it brew, then strain off. Begin with three parts milk and one part hay tea and gradually work on to one part milk and three parts hay tea. About three quarts are sufficient at first and feed in a lukewarm state. There are innumerable calf rearing diets. Skimmilk and a little wheaten flour are given in some districts. Equal parfa of milk and sweet wheaty are favored, while the use of oatmeal grud is recommended by some. Of all homemade calf meals boiled linseed and sweet milk are probably the most favored.-American Cultivator. Windows For the Stable. Large windows should be used in lighting a stable, and they should be put rather low. More light will be diffused through a large window than through several small ones. Windows too high do not admit the light properly, while if they are too low there is danger of breaking the glass—Iowa Homeized. IRRIGATE UNDER GROUND. System of Oxid-Reducing Water to Plant Roots Successfully in Yunnan. One of the most remarkable outgrowths of the era of reclamation in the west is a test that has been made near Midland, Ten., of a system of submigration whereby water is fed to the roots of plants well under the PROF WILSON CHARLIE MURRAY PROPERTY CONTROL ground instead of having it percolate down to them from the surface. The success of such a system would add millions of dollars to the yearly profits of farms throughout the west because of the saving of water in places where it is scarce and the better results to be had in the growth of plants. Systems of irrigation generally are based on a flow of water in surface ditches fed from surface canals. It has been found, however, that great waste attends this plan both from seepage and evaporation. In localities where water is source these factors are of the utmost importance. Agricultural experts for years have been engaged in an effort to perfect a system of subdriitation. The great difficulty to be met, however, lay in the plugging of the water outlets when pipes were laid underground. It is necessary that these outlets shall at all times be free if the water is to be distributed properly. It is believed that this problem has been solved under the system in operation near Midland. The experiment has been carried on by wealthy farmers of Kansas, who bought much property in that vicinity. Their plans were greeted humorously, but they wont ahead installing their system. They laid concrete pipes two feet under the surface on a large tract. At short intervals in these are inserted plugs having openings the size of a pin hole. Over these holes are laid caps which fit over the pipe in such fashion that only a little room is left for the egress of the water and no room for the entrance of dirt or roots. It has been found that the water from these holes spreads to a distance of more than sixty feet. Good crops have been grown on the land, and farmers who formerly scaffolded at the idea are now figuring on installing similar devices.—New York Times. CLEAN DAIRY UTENSILS. To Keep Products Pure They Should Be Sterilized Every Day. If the dairyman is to keep his dairy utensils absolutely clean he must sterilize them daily. This is just as necessary in the small dairy as in the large one. The dairyman who milks only a few cows cannot afford an expensive equipment in his dairy room. Many who do a profitable but modest business believe that a sterilizer is an expensive luxury. Such is not the case. A homemade sterilizer may be made at a cost of not more than $7 or $8. Go to your local tinner or hardware merchant, show him the accompanying cut and tell him to make you a box three and a half feet square of galvanized iron, twenty eight gauge, a litte heavier if he hasn't this. It should not be of lighter weight. All joints should be riveted and soldered closely. This will make a steam tight box with the exception of the cracks about the door, and will hold enough steam pressure for all practical purposes in sterilizing. The door should be not quite three feet square and should be cut to lap HOMEMADE STERILIZER. [From Country Gentleman.] about an inch over all four sides of the opening. Ordinary heavy double strap hinges may be used, fastened with other bolts or rivets. A bolt and staple fastener holds the door shut. The steam may be piped into the top and one side as shown in the illustration. A few holes punched in the bottom will drain off the condensed steam. It should be turned on slowly at first and then gradually be worked up to full force with thirty or forty pounds of steam in the boiler. A thorough sterilization will be accomplished from ten to fifteen minutes. The writer has used a sterilizer similar to this, which cost $7.50, and found it to be thoroughly efficient—Country Gentleman. Here add email.

One Mother's Plan Kept Her Bey Well Employed With Interesting Work. Many mothers dislike sending their children to school while they are small, yet feel that they need to be taught. A kindergarten would give the proper training, but that institution is not always to be found. Mrs. Brown, though quite a busy woman, managed to teach her five-year-old son successfully. - For the benefit of mothers who do not know how to carry on this teaching her plans are explained as follows: She provided her child with compo- sition books, colored pencils, scissors, paper, etc. A box with a lid was pro- ceded, which, when covered with cloth, served as a receptacle for his materials and also for the work he be- complished. A table and a chair of the correct height were also secured. A blackboard was fastened to the wall, above which was tucked a strip of black candle. The blackboard served as a background for marking the paper cuttings. If the lesson in the reader was about cats Mrs. Brown drew a cat on the blackboard, writing the word "cat" under- mouth. Hilly took a pattern from his box and traced around it in his blank book, had a picture of a cat too. After coloring it he copied the word underneath. Then short sentences were copied also. A spelling booklet was cut, and Hilly wrote all the new words of the lesson in it. In his number work book he drew groups of cats and placed the correct figure under each group. Then followed the reading lesson in the book, and the child knew it too. Billy drew, wrote and cut cats that day until he was satisfied. He pinned his cats to the cambric until he should deplete something greater. In the days that followed Billy had much of his own work to exhibit. There was his book in which he drew pictures about his lessons, writing sentences concerning all new words. His counting book showed his progress in numbers. There was another blank book which was soon filled with language work. Pictures got from magazines decorated it and served as subjects of his writings. Mrs. Brown taught him geography and history, so as to correlate, in most cases, with the months. Billy enjoyed plining paper pictures of pilgrims during November to represent the first Thanksgiving. The child learned more than the usual lessons would have taught and was kept employed by the interesting work. Kitchenette Iron mold can be removed from linen by rubbing over the spot sulphur of potash, washing it thoroughly with lemon juice and rinsing it in well water. When ink stains disfigure a favorite bit of linen, bathe the stains generously with lemon juice, cover entirely with a dusting of fine salt and place in the sun for a few hours. Equal parts of soap and chalk mixed together and rubbed on a milddweed garment that has been first well dampened will remove stains, provided it is put in the sun until the spots disappear. When calico or cloth is spotted with acid the color may be restored, by touching the spots with spirits of bartschern. Alkali spots sometimes disappear under a treatment of vinegar or tartaric acid. The man who allows weeds to go to seed indiscriminately on his farm, be he renter or land owner, is a nuisance to himself, to his neighbors and to his country. For Tree Wounds. In California the following mixture was used on trees three years ago and is still in good condition: One part of crude petroleum to three parts of rosin warm in separate dishes, mix and apply warm to cuts made by pruning or by cultivator injury. While this mixture is not better than grafting wax, it is much cheaper and is worthy of trial. These Pooky Weed Seeds.

Attax "Leffy Lunia" Charged With Killing Resentful. Capture Alain Glenheim Bidna Allen, leader of the Allen clan, which shot up the Carroll county court house at Hillierville, Va., on March 14, killing Judge Massie and others, and his nephew, Wosley Edwards, are maneuled in cells at the city jail in Des Moines, Iowa, as a result of a love affair which led detectives to them. Both men have announced their willingness to return to Virginia without requisition. Edwards, for the love of whom Miss Maude Iroler, of Mount Airy, Va., had innocently led detectives out to Des Moines, was captured as he was returning to his boarding house, after having worked all day with a paving gang. Just as he boarded a street car detectives and officers surrounded it, Edwards was trying to escape by crawling through the front end of the car when the officers caught him. The arrest of Bidna Allen was effected earlier in the day. A visit to Edwards to Miss Iroler in her Virginia home about a month ago and the accident loss of a letter put the date lives on the trail. The fugitives had been in Dos Molines since April 25. Allen, under the name of Tom Sayre, worked as a carpenter and Edwards, under the name of Joe Jackson, was employed with a city paving gang. T. B. Kansas Men Win In Court. T. R. Kansas Men Will in Court. The Kansas Progressives won a legal victory in Denver, Colo., Monday, when an opinion was handed down in the United States circuit court in the Tatt-Roosevelt Kansas electoral vote controversy, providing that the order refusing an injunction in the case be affirmed, and the case be remanded to the Kansas courts, with instructions to dismiss the bill of complaint. This case will be appealed to the supreme court of the United States. An injunction was asked by the supporters of President Tatt to prohibit the names of the eight Roosevelt electors being placed on the Republican ballot in the general election in November. This was denied on Sept. 6 by Judge W. H. Sanborn, of the United States circuit court of appeals, at Topoika, Kan. The decision affirms this. Train Kills Lovers Nelson Brushaker, nineteen years of age, the son of Amos Brushaker, of Lawn, near Lebanon, Pa., and his sweetheart, Ada Kaylor, eleven years old, the daughter of Samuel Kaylor, of near Bachmansville, were instantly killed at the Lawn grade crossing of the Cornwall & Lebanon railroad. They left the Kaylor home for a drive to Ellizabatown, Lancaster county, and were struck by the southbound passenger train. Both were pieched up dead. The carriage was demolished. The horse escaped and ran away. 450.000 Pensioners.

An event has transpired in the South which promises great things for that section and the entire nation. Sutton E. Griggs, the famous orator and author has brought to light an array of facts and has unfolded a line of reasoning that is quietly transforming the thought life of the whites of the South on the race question. Dr. J. G. Merrill, ex-President of Fisk University says: "I have heard so much of Wisdom's Call that I wish a copy of it. Send it to me." Bishop I. B. Scott of the M. E. Church, says: "I believe it will change conditions in the South if it is read by any considerable number of the leaders of that section." Hon. Noah W. Cooper, one of Tennessee's most widely known white lawyers, says: "It is really a wonderful book, full of the finest philosophy, choicest rhetoric and Christian ideas. Rev. Mr. Griggs is manifestly a great thinker, a GENIUS and a statesman. The Chief of Police of Bartow, Fl., says: "That book has changed my views on the rare question. I see that we white people have got to change our treatment of the Negroes." You do yourself and the causes of humanity an injustice when you neglect or delay to send for Windows Call.

NOGI AND WIFE COMMIT SUICIDE Stab Themselves to Death Over Emperor's Bier. TWO SONS KILLED IN WAR Was Noted Japanese Fighter, Who Conducted Siege of Port Arthur and Forced Surrender. General Count Nogi, hero par excellence of the Japanese army, for the part he played in reducing Russia's fortress of Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese war, committed suicide, following the religious ceremonies in connection with the funeral of the late emperor, Mutsuhito, in Tokio. With him in self-sought death went his wife, Countens Nogi. The suicide of Nogi and his wife by the famous method of hara karl, the manher of self-destruction, is characteristic of the samurai. Both stabbed themselves to death over the body of the late emperor. The suicides came as a climax to the funeral services. The general was a devoted friend of the late sovereign, and it is believed that grief over the death of the monarch drove them to the decision to commit suicide in accordance with the Shinto belief that it is just and holy to die in memory of a friend, as well as the ancient samurai belief that is honorable for a samurai to join his emperor or the chief of his clan in death. The tragedy was concealed for several hours, and even then the details were not made known. It was learned, however, that the general's wife had attempted to persuade him to abandon his plan. He had made his intention known to her, in accordance with the Japanese custom, before he went to mourn beside the emperor's earlier in the day. She had to tolerated him and when she saw him fall upon the magnificent casket of the late ruler of Japan she rushed to his side, and with the same weapon that he had used ended her life. At the time the double suicide or curred, the Shinto priests were causing a requiem for the dead. This cannot interrupted by the double suicide, but attendants carried the bodies of the war hero, and his wife from the temple to their home. Nogt, than whom none was high in the hearts of the Japanese people, because of his deeds as a soldier, ended his life like the true samurai that he was, a sacrifice to the spirit of his dead sovereign, whom he venerated as a descendant of the gods. The countess, his wife, was the daughter of a samurai, and was quite as thoroughly imbued with the idea of the devotion to sovereign and country. Besides she wag the mother of two sons who were killed with the war with Russia, and doubtless felt along with her husband, that having given her offspring for "Dal Nippon," as the Japanese fondly call their empire, the death and burial of Mutsuhito, the supreme fountain of all the high honor that had accrued to her husband, left naught for them but suicide as a sacrifice in his august honor. The point of view is difficult to express to a modern mind, but to those familiar with Japan and things Japanese the double suicide is not strange. From time immemorial Japanese nobles have sacrificed themselves in similar circumstances, but of late years it has been thought that the custom of sacrifice has been dying out, but the tragedy indicates what the shrewdest and most observant of foreigners in Japan thoroughly believe—that the spirit of old Japan, with its attendant virtues of whole souled devotion to emperor and country and with its blind adherence to the ancient customs of the samurai and warrior class are just as strong as over and need nothing save the thought in the Japanese mind that the emperor calls for the Japanese himself to respond with the fatalistic loyalty that has always been his chic racial characteristic. Paul Peck is Killed Flying. Aviator Paul Peck, of Washington holder of the American duration's flight record, was killed in a fall with a b plane while flying in a gusty wind in Chicago. Peck attempted too steep a spiral and when he struck the ground the heavy engine came through the wreck age, striking him in the neck. A gusty wind blew at Cicero Field all day, and Director Andrew Drew posted a warning to aviators against going up. Peck, believing his small biplane would be fast enough to carry him through the choppy wind, went into the air in spite of the caution. At about 800 feet altitude he started to come down in a spiral glide. Because of the unusually small span of his machine, Peck got into too sharp a spiral, his aeroplane aided toward the center of the vortex and he could bring it back. of the ground. He would have escaped with minor injuries. Director Drew and his technical committee declared, had it not been for the fact that the heavy engine, crashing through the framework, with its gasoline tank and iron fittings, struck Peck in the neck and across the legs. He died an hour later in St. Anthony de Padua hospital. Recelvers For, U. S. Motor Company. Recelvers, have been appointed in New York city for the United States Motor company, a $42,250,000 holding corporation, organized in 1908 to control ten automobile and gas engine manufacturing companies. Its directors number some of the best known capitalists in the country. The receivers, W. E. Strong and Robert Walker, were appointed by Judge Hough, in an insolvency suit brought in the federal district court by the Brown & Sharp Manufacturing company, of Providence, R. I., in its own behalf, and that of other creditors. In addition to the appointment of the two receivers for the holding company, five of its constituent companies were involved, namely: The Alden Sampson Manufacturing company, of Detroit; the Brush Runabout company, of Detroit; the Columbia Motor company, of Hartford; Conn.; the Dayton Motor Car company, of Dayton, Ohio, and the Maxwell-Briscoe company, of Tarrytown, N. Y. The receivers' joint bond was fixed at $100,000. Bankors identified with the company say that the proceedings are friendly and brought to clear up the company's affairs with a view to protecting the creditors. Plans for reorganization are said to be under way. Exciting Rescues at Hotel Fire. The Eagle hotel, of Pine Grove, near Pottsville, Pa., was burned down amid exciting scenes, many of the guests escaping in their nightclothes. Mrs. A. M. Walmer, wife of the proprietor of the hotel, sixty years old, hung onto a window ledge on the second story until she was rescued by firemen. A daughter of the proprietor was hurt on a clear sign while the firemen were forcibly rescuing her. John Dunnoyer, proprietor of the Central hotel, and Claude Leonard, two volunteer firemen, broke through a burning floor and fell through a wall of flames, escaping death almost miraculously. The hotel was destroyed and the loss is about $6000. Shore Train Kills Three. Two men and a boy were killed at Malaga, twenty-eight miles from Camden, N. J., when a Pennsylvania railroad electric train struck the big moving van in which they were taking a load of furniture from Vueland, N. J. to Philadelphia. The driver and owner of the van was Joseph Caplan. The other two victims were Jacob Caplan, aged thirteen years, and Nathan Fisher. The accident occurred during a heavy rain storm. Two horses attached to the van were killed, and the first car of the electric train was so badly damaged that it had to be sidetracked. The victims were badly mangled and were identified with difficulty. Mellon Divorce Decree Signed. The final decree in the Mellon divorce case was signed by Judge Frazer when he made absolute the divorce granted to Andrew W. Mellon, the millionaire banker of Pittsburgh, Pa. Mrs. Mellon was not in court nor is she in Pittsburgh. She spent the summer at the home of her parents in England. In the settlement legalized by the court Mellon gets custody of the children for eight months in the year. The other four months Mrs. Mellon may have her little son, and daughter. The money settlement, it is said, is to be $30,000 a year to the wife, who says she will make her home in London. Taft Posea For "Moyles." President Taft posed for two mov- ing picture operators, who set up their machines on the lawn at Para- matn, in Inverly, Mass., and took se- veral hundred feet of films showing the president planting a small hickory tree and walking through the garden with Mrs. Taft. The pictures did not turn out well on an count of the lack of sunlight. Steel Plant Raises Wages. The Eastern Steel company, of Potterville, Pa., has announced an in- crease of 15 per cent in wages of all its employees in the rolling mills. Several hundred men will receive from $20 to $50 per month more as the result of the increase, and it was learned that the company contempla- tes an increase to all its 150 em- ployee.

New York Detectives Traced Them to Hiding Place in Brooklyn—Hidden There a Month. "Letty Louie" and "Gyp the Blood" were arrested at 756 Woodward avenue, Brooklyn, by Deputy Police Commissioner George Dougherty and a force of detectives. The two missing "gunmen," so long sought for the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler, are now at police headquarters, Manhattan, and there is no doubt of their identity. The two men were arrested in company with their wives and a visiting pickpocket in a flat which they furnished about Aug. 15, and when they were covered with the revolvers of the police their only comment was "Ah, hell, put up your guns; we won't make no trouble." Starecely another remark was made to the police by either man until they were examined at police headquarters later by Assistant District Attorney Moss, acting for District Attorney Whitman, who has gone out to Hot Springs to take testimony of persons who talked to Sam S. Hepps, a witness in the case. The women, however, made a scene, throwing their arms around their husbands' necks and shedding copious tears. They had to be torn away from the men before the police could get their prisoners out of the apartment, and were later brought to police headquarters. With the arrest of "Gyp" and "Lofty," whose real names are Harry Horowitz and Louis Rosenweig, all of the seven men accused of the murder of Herman Rosenthal, of which Police Lieutenant Charles Becker is the alleged instigator, are now in the hands of the authorities. The capture of the two men came as a result of what is regarded in police circles as the best detective work done in the history of the department. It was the fruit of unbroken surveillance of the wives and relatives of the men since their disappearance on the day of the murder, July 16. This surveillance was maintained by sixty detectives working in relays, who kept Deputy Commissioner Dougherty in constant touch with what they did and where they went. Commissioner Lougherty said that "Gyp" and "Lefty" had fled immediately after the murder to Parksville, N. Y., a summer resort in the Catskill mountains, and had remained there more than a week. His men had traced them back to New York by their baggage checks, but had lost them at the Hohoken terminal. Where they were between July 26, the date of their arrival and Aug. 15, the commissioner has not definitely determined Notter gunman appeared to be in funds, "Gyp" having only $18 in his possession. DEMOCRATS FIGHT FOR PENNSYLVANIA Leading Spellbinders Will Tour the State. After a thorough canvass of the political situation in Pennsylvania, the Demo ratic national committee members announced that they intend to make every effort to capture the state. The following speakers have been assigned to make a campaign in Pennsylvania: Governor Marshal, nominee for vice president, Representative Underwood, of Alabama, Representative Henry, of Texas, and Representative Redfield, of New York; Senators Hoke Smith, of Georgia; O'Gorman, of New York; John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, and Gore, of Oklahoma; former Governor Folk, of Missouri; Frank S. Monnett, of Columbus, O. and Louis D. Brendel, of Boston. Three speakers will begin their tour of Pennsylvania next week. TO MAKE HAZING A CRIME University of N. C. Asks For Law In View of Student's Death Resolutions were drafted at a special meeting of the trustees of the University of North Carolina at Raleigh, asking for legislation to make college hazing a criminal offense. This action was taken in view of the killing of the student, William Rand, last Friday morning by four hazers. Aviator Hurt in 100-Foot Fall. Victor Carlstrum, flying a biplane, phixed to earth in 100 feet in the air at the Cicero flying field in Chicago on Monday. Carlstrum was knocked unconscious and his machine was wrecked. Carlstrum was first starting on his way to Grant park. A hydro-airplane, driven by Albert J. Engle, was wrecked off Clarendon Beach. The flyer was rescued by tiger. The machine was disabled in the heavy sea. Student Killed by Hazard William Rand, a freshman of the State university at Relief, N.C., was killed, from gunshot by an opponent. Rand, perched on a barrel and surrounded by his tormentors, fell off and gashed his neck on a broken pitcher. He died soon afterwards. A customer's jury is investigating. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA RECALL OF JUDGES AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION ALFRED G. VANDERBILT. Will Receive Shortly Last Install. ment of Father's Fortune. PETER H. COMES INTO $25,000,000 Alfred Vanderbilt's Birthday Terminates Period of Trust. As the date rapidly approaches when Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, of New York city, is to come into the absolute possession of his entire fortune, he lances with his bride, the former Mrs. Smith Hollis McKinn, in a house boat on the Thames river, England, where they are expecting a visit from the stork. This event is due so soon, according to the reports, that Mrs. Vanderbilt will be able to return to this country with her husband to celebrate his thirty fifth birthday, which terminates the period of trust in which halls his matrimony was held. The will of Cornelius Vanderbilt bore the date of June 18, 1896. The seventeenth provision created the trust in favor of Alfred, assigning to the executors the duty of holding, investing and investing the remainder of the estate and collecting rents, incomes and profits for the use of Alfred Vanderbilt until he became thirty years old. At that age, on Oct. 20, 1907, he received one half of the estate, which amounted to $25,000,000. This fall he will receive the other half. BANDITS HOLD UP TRAIN; TAKE MAIL Get Away With Many Registered Letters. The Memphis train on the Southern railway eastbound was held up and robbed at Stevenson, Aln. The mail car was entered and the registered mail looted. Passengers were not molested. Covering the mail clerks with revolvers, the two bandits bound three of them and ordered the fourth to open all the bags of registered mail. Letters supposed to contain money were dumped into a sack. Then the fourth clerk was bound and one of the robbers pulled the emergency cord. The train stopped, and when the engineer did not get the signal to proceed he walked back and found the clerks almost suffocated under a pile of mail bags. A sheriff's posse was organized at Huntsville and a search of the territory surrounding the place where the men got off the train was begun. The amount of foot secured is not known, but postoffice officials fear it was considerable. 500 TROUPS DIE IN FIRE Chinese Soldiers Burned to Death In Forest Fire Started by Mongols. Five hundred Chinese soldiers were burned to death, according to a Pekin dispatch to the Chicago Daily News, in a forest fire started by a large force of Mongols who were retreating from the Chinese. Generals Hath and Tao, prosecutor Donnell in St. Louis Globe-Democrat ing northward from Tonanfu, with 6000 men, engaged a force of Mongol at Chatsuuan The Mongols were defeated and fell northward with the Chinese in pursuit. In a forest near Taichiachu they started a fire to instigate their stand. The Chinese troops were unable to escape and perished. Two Cost Three Thus Winter Pive Cent Eggs This Winter.

Characterizing the directorate of the race track at Havre de Grace, Md., as "a clean collar on a dirty shirt," and asserting that the track is maintained for gambling in its most damaging and dangerous form, the Grand Jury, for Harford county gave its report to the court at Belair, Md. The report followed two days of testimony taking, in which directors of the track which is run under the name of the Harford Agricultural and Breeding association, and many others were called to tell how the track is conducted and the manner in which it was promoted. The grand jury recommended that detectives be employed by the county to keep their eyes on the course and to see that the laws are strictly enforced. In its report the grand jury says: "That the entire management and conduct of the racing, pool selling and other business of this association appears to be in the hands of one Edward Burke, of New York, a man who has made house racing his vocation for fifteen years, and who was first secured for this position by one Timothy O'Leary, of Philadelphia, and the New York Jockey Club." Further, the jury admits its helplessness in the matter and recommends that the only thing to be done is to have the act repealed at the next legislature. As the general as somebody does not meet until 1914 the track will be in operation for another year, and nothing is likely to be done in the meantime. Biscay 18766 Fcet In the Air Georges Lagaucoux, a French aeronaut, established a new world's record for altitude at Villacaublay France, his machine attaining a height of 8720 metres (18,750 feet).

Columbia, Va., March 19, 1912, Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., Richmond, Va. My Dear Sir. I see published in your valuable paper the letter of Consul General Crum May 1, 1911 stating the death of William Richmond any trying to locate John Richmond. I wish to say that I had a brother by the name of William Richardson, born in Cumberland, Va. and reared in Columbia, Va. He went to Richmond, Va. and lived there many years. He left Richmond, Va. on the 8th of September, 1896 and I have not heard of him since. I could not tell if he was dead or alive. He had a scar on the right cheek and he had a scar under the right eye and one on the chin. All three of the scars are visible and will last him to the grave. He was about five feet ten inches and weighed about 176 or 177 pounds when I saw him last. I also send you the piece that I clipped from the paper or The PLANET. Please find him if you can, for me. Yours very truly. JOHN J. RICHARDSON. Address: Columbia, Fluvanna Co. Va. —If you answer any of these Ads please mention The PLANET.

The woman with clever fingers can turn out for herself numerous smart ties and stocks if she is keen enough to copy the shop ones. Fashion jabots from handkerchief linen or fine lawn cut into oval, round or oblong tabs that reach to the busi line or halfway above it. Finish the edge with a narrow buttonhole stitch. In small scallops all around or in straight buttonholing on the sides and three deep scallops on bottom. In center put a medallion of lace with material cut away beneath and around it embroider a row or two of pin dots or small eyelets to form a flame. Newer are the medallions made with a center of punch work, with a design embroidered or outlined around it. These tubs are most serviceable in all white, using fine mercerized cotton, but are pretty in a color which is repeated in the collar, belt and stockings. As they are not plaited, laudhering is simplified. Another smart tie to be worn with a turned down or Dutch collar is made from a straight piece of heavy linen. three inches long and one inch wide. Round the ends scoop out sides slightly and finish with a straight edge of buttonholing. Make long ceyellets about half an inch of center and through them run velvet ribbon to match embroidery. The ends of the ribbon project beyond the ends of the linen. If desired a small design in eyellet or solid embroidery can be worked in each of the rounded ends midway between eyellet and edge. THEY'RE THE FAD. How to Make the Satin Shirts So Fashionable in Paris. White satin "shirts" are quite the fad in Paris, and these dressy shirts are worn not only with coat and skirt suits, but with separate skirts of white serge, whipcord and mohair. The shirt is perfectly plain. But, oh, the concentrated smartness of its severely simple lines! It has a roomy cut, achieved without gathers or plaits anywhere, and the armholes are huge, dropping well over the shoulder. Set into these low armholes without fullness, long, close fitting sleeves reach to the wrist. In contrast to the long, tight sleeves is a neck arrangement as informal and unconventional as a cowpuncher's loosened shirt collar. There is, in fact, a narrow, straight collar of the satin attached to the neck by a narrow collar band, but as the shirt is left unbuttoned almost all the way down the front this collar falls back loosely over the shoulders. In the opening is a slightly fullled "understarter" of flesh colored chiffon, which covers the bare shrapes and chest. Glass buttons are set down the front of the shirt, and buttonholes are worked on the edge of one side, a few buttons being really buttoned below the bust. There is also a row of buttons and buttonholes on the outer edge of each sleeve. How to Choose Poultry. There is much discussion regarding the merits of drawn and undrawn poultry. Most dealers contend that in warm weather a fowl which has had entrails and crop removed spoils much more quickly, because of the extent of cut surface exposed, than does undrawn poultry. In a large city market one dealer kept drawn poultry, and he said that he could not do so except for the fact that steady customers took all of his stock, so that nothing was left on his hands. The extra price he asked per pound was only sufficient to make up for the loss in weight. It is greatly to the housekeeper's advantage to buy fresh, well drawn poultry, for not only is the flavor injured by the unclean practice of allowing the entrails to remain in the body, but it is thought to favor the development of ptomaines. It has been shown that after death the intestinal juices, with their contained bacteria, are able to pass through the walls of the intestines into the muscle fiber, and this process goes on, even though the fowl is kept at a very low temperature. In some states cold storage fowls are required by law to be sold as such. How to Protect Seeds When storing choice seeds saturate a cloth with spirits of turpentine and place it in the bottom of a fruit jar. Pack the seeds in the jar and cover with another cloth wet with turpentine. Cover tightly with the lid. When needed the seeds will be in perfect condition. The weevils and other insects which destroy seeds are in this manner kept from hurting them. How to Make Medicine Pleasant. How to Make Medicine Pleasant. The most nauseous medicine may be given to children without trouble by previously letting them suck a peppermint lozenge, a piece of alum or a bit of orange peel. Many people make the mistake of giving a sweet afterward to take away the disagreeable taste. It is far better to destroy it in the first instance. Sunshine. In one year 4,472 hours of sunshine are possible, but there are not many places where the maximum is experienced. Queer Collateral. There is an establishment in the east end of London where women can bor row 25 cents on their marriage license and their saloon promise to redeem them. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA.

ERSI BUTTONS I BUTTONS, INC. NAL BANK BUILDING. VIRGINIA. ALIAI EMBLEMSI WM. D. CRUM. American Consult-General 100 From South Carolina. Florence, S. C., Sept. 15. — We are told in Scripture that while John was preaching in the wilderness there went out to him Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region round about Jordan and were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins. But when he say many of the Pharisees and Sadduese come to his baptism he said unto them, "O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come. Briggs forth therefore fruit, meat for repentance." What a great blessing it is to be able to deliver a sermon or an address. The finest addresses are delivered to graduating classes, literary societies or on extraordinary occasions when matters affecting the public good are being discussed. The Apostle Peter spoke with much feeling on the day of Pentecost when he referred to the prophecy of Joel and related the death and suffering of the son of God. Solomon spoke fervently at the dedication of the temple. Where can you find words treasured more than those spoken by the Saviour in the sermon on the mount? All of us would have been more than glad had we heard the Saviour when he said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth." John was able to stir up the community by his preaching. Almost the entire citizenship came to hear him. Christ said, "If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto me." John did not belong to the social crowd. He said what he pleased, without fear of being ostracized. Society with its inattainable "desire" is as cruel and unmereful as an Azerian tyrant. It places a tax upon its members without regards to financial condition or religious duties. Often the minister is told that he preached a noble sermon. It is true that he made some strong point and suitable application but the subject with its attribute compliment was still at large. John pointed to the crowd standing on the bank of Jordan and said, "O generation of vipers who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come." That great Judah minister had a message to deliver and he delivered it. At the battle of Waterloo, the leading bankers of Europe sent messengers to the battlefield, whose duty it was to report to them the outcome of the battle. Mr. Rothchild of England was the only messenger who reported facts. Time and again during the session of Congress business is suspended to receive a message from the President of the United States. No one has ever doubted that it is a message from the President. The Bible is filled with messages to us from God. Why should we doubt them. We deny Christ while warming at the wrong fire. John spoke of him authoritatively in the acceptance of a perverse and adulterous generation. People at times spend money that they might change their appearance. Again they exert their selves to win friends. John tried to charge the belief of his hearers. If the Governor is in doubt about the law in a certain case, he consults the Attorney General. If the farmer or the railroad company have a grievance they prefer the matter to the railroad commissioner. As to his duty John consulted no one, but was led by the Spirit Miss Minde Douglass of East Florence, gave a social on Friday P. M. at her home. Among those present were: Misses Cora Douglass, Clema Brown, Naomi Burnett, Gretta Scott, Medesdanes M. E. Howe, J. R. Levy, David Williams, Carrie Lawrence, Ruth and Ruble Webster, Drs. J. R. Levy, W. F. Holmes, T. Gallant, Messrs. Isadh Cherry, Robert Marshall, Roscoe Wilson, J. E. Coleman, Robert Bowler Georgia Negro Fight for Ballot Atlanta. Ga. "Monday - under a suit entitled "Joe Hutt vs. Registrars of Fannin County, Ga." the Knights of Moses, a secret order of colored people, has begun a fight in the United States court for the Northern district of Georgia to test the State Negro disfranchisement laws enacted by the constitutional amendment ratified by the voters in October, 1908. The Order, controlled by a supreme lodge in Douglas, Ga. has 5,000 members in lodges scattered throughout the South, and if it is successful in this case proceedings will be started immediately in every other State where similar statutes exist. Among the membership of the Knights of Moses are two thousand Negro ministers and bishops, and they hope to wipe off the statute books all laws which they consider to discriminate against their race, the Jim Crow law being one of their objects of attack. The Order was organized only a short time ago. The fact that the small town of Douglas was chosen for the supreme lodge meetings and that the first move was made under cover, of "Joe" Butts name has aroused a storm of protest among the white people of Douglas and Coffee counties. The Douglas Enterprise, in an article written immediately after the news went around that the case of "Joe" Butt was a test fostered by the Knights of Moses brands the move as a "instardaily" infamous, progressive political movement," and hints that it is the scheme of North em progressive politicians. "Joe" Butt, in his petition asserts he has been dented the privilege of registering and qualifying himself as a voter in the primaries this year. The case puts in issue the right of one of the States of the Union to pass laws or constitutional amendments practically distranchising the Negro in the face of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States. The petition had been filed by Chantalo and Henson of Douglas, and Gober and Jackson of Atlanta, before it was announced what the intention of the Knights of Moses was. The Order is an open letter to one of the Coffee county papers declares the attack on the disfranchisement to the amendment to the constitution is not a political move but merely an appeal for the rights of the race -- New York Herald. Mt. Garland Baptist Church Anniversary. The Mt. Garland Baptist Church of Frederick's Hall, Louisa Co., Va., recently observed the Fourth Anniversary of its present pastor, Rev. S. A. Brown. The meeting was a splendid presentation of the spiritual awakening of the church. The people appeared to be of one accord and in perfect sympathy with the leadership of the pastor. The Anniversary Sermon was preached by Rev. J. C. Diamond, B. D. of Proverbsburg. The writer has never seen stronger evidence of devotion between church and pastor. The pastor had arranged a Rally for that day and the people showed undisputed evidences of the real work they had done. 12 clubs were organized, which brought in $751.00 (Three hundred and seventy-one dollars).

The vocation in the radius of thirty miles of this place has suffered much for fathe. So much so the crops have been cut short and there will be a great demand this year for food. This condition added to the high prices paid for food, forshadows much suffering among cattle and people. When we view the condition for livelihood, coupled to this being the Presidential election year, we are confronted with the great need of the people going back to the old hardmark of prayer, the base rock, and be lifted by the fullness of faith in God, before they can have restored to them the necessities of life and enjoy a more hopeful political freedom. To fall in accepting the above mentioned essentials will lead to the defeat and downfall of any people. Rev. Hutt of the A. M. E Church is still holding the fort. Rev. J. of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church is pushing his work. Dr. N. Jordan, pastor of several churches in the country, having pastored some of them thirty years is as active in the work as any man in this vicinity. Rev. P. W. Price of Hamden-Sidney Church who now lives here is both preacher and public school teacher. He is a young man destined to do much good. Dr. L. B. Tswish of New York City preached at 11 A. M. at First Baptist Church to a large congregation. Out people think that the Doctor is a splendid preacher and New York does well to hold a man of both physical and spiritual power. At N. P. M. the people came in large numbers to listen to Mrs. Smith, the sister of Rev. Thomas Holding who has been here sleek for some time, stopping at Deacon P. W. Moore's, Grove Street. Owing to the illness of her brother she did not appear. The pastor, Rev. Adams who seemingly delightts in preaching assumed the responsibility. . . Rev. P. W. Robinson has returned from his evangelical trip to Winston-Salem, N. C. where he in company with Brother Daniel Brown assisted in conducting a great meeting. Mrs. Lottie Paige left for Catman, Va where she will teach this Winter. Quite a number of students left last and this week for Petersburg, Va. Among them Joseph Jordan, Richard Hilton, Gladys McDaniel, Martin Hilton, Martha and Gertrude Blue, Blanche Duke, Josephine Hughes, Elsbie M. Jordan, Viola P. Cos里斯, Inez Ward. We are glad to learn that Mrs. Sallie Anderson of South street who is now in the hospital in Richmond, Va. has undergone a successful operation and is restful quiet.

Shopperson, Drakes Branch. In advertising hair tones, as in other advertising, many points are necessary to be considered. The person who will carry out those few principles thoughtfully will not only find himself among the up-to-date manufacturers of the goods, but will see a material increase in his business. Notwithstanding the many brands of these goods already being sold, a good hair tonic well advertised and wisely marketed will sell well. In getting out the advertisement keep in mind the class of people you wish to interest and the way to reach them effectively. The first requires the ability to study your prospective, the second, a knowledge of mediums. Success will depend on the thoroughness with which these principles are carried out, provided the article is genuine and as represented. It is worse than folly to open business with a worthless article, for as was said by a well known writer: "You can't fool all the people all the time." Your business life will be short and full of trouble. When you have decided on the class you wish to reach, the medium to carry the message etc., write the headline for the ad. The object of the headline under this subject is to attract the favorable attention it should not therefore be a "blind headline" but should reveal the nature of the article advertised. It should not include the name and address of the advertiser because it would not attract prospectives. Nor should it be the name of the tonic for the same reason. Display your headline in the wants or needs of your prospective customers. For instance, if it be true that your remedy will stop falling hair, a good headline would be In Your Hair Falling Out? Is your hair falling out? Now if it in your text you fall to tell why it stops falling hair and cite instances where it has done so, you will be like the dog that let the fox go after catching it. Don't make too many claims, it is generally thought that articles that are good for everything are good for nothing. If you have three or more genuine claims for your tonic better include one each in three or more advertisements to run at intervals during the year. Back each claim strongly, hedge it about in such a way as to leave no doubt in your reader's mind as to your faith in it. The text finished you are now ready to close. Now ready to say the last word which should be one to cause him to act. What shall it be? You attracted his favorable attention by calling it to something he needed and caused him to want it by proving it was as represented. Now action on his part is necessary. "Sample bottle for the asking," or something like that would be the thing if you have decided on such selling plan. He will then read your name and address at the bottom of the ad. These plans may or may not be in harmony with your way of thinking but try them one year or one season and you won't regret it. If you are not familiar with writing business-getting advertisements, it would be a better investment to get some one versed in the art than to hire a clerk or stenographer. Why would it? Reason it out for yourself. SIRES AND SONS.

New Yorker Lecturing on Styles Lays Down Rules For Fail BOWS IN SHAPE OF TORCHES It Looks as if Milliners Had Gathered Ideas From Suffragette Firebrand Throwers—One Model Resembles Headgear of the Masculine Quaker. The milliners have entered the suffragette movement to get votes for women. The fashion dictators have decreed that ribbons shall be the only proper trimming for hats this fall and wipter. The object of the ribbons will be to attract the admiring glances of the male voters and make votes come easier. However, the ribbons are not the dalinity, languishing sort of things worn by the beauties of antabellum days. They will be broad and made in big bows which will show strength as well as beauty to the man who books and admires. That ribbons are going to be the leading style in hat trimming this fall A A POPULAR AUTUMN MAT. was vouched for by Ora One of New York at one of his lectures on how to make nifty things in hain. He also states that, notwithstanding the suffrage question will come to high tension this fall, hatings will be short. "Purple bows will be very becoming to the brunettes," says Mr. Cne. "and tomato reds for the blondes. The knife plait on the ribbons will be the principal and marked feature for 1012, and a ribbon twenty-five years old will be ultra fashionable if treated to his plait. The ribbons used in the bows are about five feet long and ten inches wide. They are in shades of green, purple, citron, rod and other luxurious colors. One bow is made of ribbons twisted into the shape of three torches. It looks as if the suffragette milliners might have gathered the idea from firebrands. Some of the bows are placed under the hat, but most of them stick out in a faunty, military fashion. The hats are mostly velvet and velours, with round tops and six inch brims. One hat looks like the showert shaped hat of a Quaker parson. An other mannish idea has invaded the feminine headaddress in the shape of a collinpable hat. It looks much like the downtrodden opera hat, only a wide, many hued band surrounds it. The hat pictured is one of the popular models of the autumn. It is developed in velours and is of large head size, covering most of the hair, and is trimmed with a 'stole of fur' draped to conceal the outline of the exquisitely rounded crown or merely with a large square ornament, set diamond wise against the bim. The New Washbraz When wash cloths are tossed in the laundry the name marking or initials are so apt to come off and the wash cloths in this way become so mixed that the people who are particular will take solid comfort in the newest of new nations, which is an initial woven into the border of the wash cloth. Any letter in the alphabet can be had and at the same price as for the ordinary cloth heretofore sold. These are Turkish wash cloths, and if the border looks a little gaudy with the large letter there is compensation in its individuality. The Darning Basket When the weekly wash comes up from the laundry take the clothes that need mending and find patches of the material, yarn to darn with or what ever is necessary to mend with and ply the pieces to the articles to be mend ed; then put them aside in a drawer or sewing bag until you have time to sit down quietly and new. Having every thing ready, you will be surprised at the amount you can do at one sitting. By this method the weekly mending loss half of its terrors for the busy housekeeper. Leonispa. It is the customs in New Orleans for shopkeepers to present their customers with a gratuity in the shape of a handful of confectionery or other trifling delicacy. This is termed "laglappe" (lan-yap). "You've forgotten the laglappe," one often hears a boy or girl to shopkeepers when buying family supplies. A.
