PIANO VOLUME XXIX, NUMBER 44. Burton Snow Accomac Supervisor and Town of Onancock Norfolk, Va., September 19—In the $100,000 suit of Samuel L. Burton, colored, who sued the County of Accomac, its Board of Supervisors the town of Onancock, and private individuals for alleged false arrest and injury by conspiracy. Federal Judge Waddell today sustained demurrers filed by the county, its supervisors and the town of Onancock, but over ruled demurrers as to individual defendants in so far as the plaintiff bases "an action on the case in the nature of a conspiracy," which action the court holds to be good in law. The plaintiff is also granted leave to amend his bill as to the town of Onancock. This means that the Burton suit will be tried upon its merits. The whole thing grew out of a race riot at Onancock, on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, for which Burton was arrested and subsequently acquitted. The individual defendants against whom the suit of Burton is held to be good in law are Tank Kellum, Upshur Q. Sturgia, Lee G. Kellum, John West and Leonard K. Doughly.

THE WRECK AT PITTSBURGH- HON. H.C. SMITH AT CLEVELAND, OHIO. The Outlook in the Country—A Stop at Toledo—The Arrival at Detroit. I left Washington, Sunday, September 8th, over the Pennsylvania R. R. at 6:45 for Detroit by way of Cleveland, Ohio. I felt like eating and so I went into the palatial dining car, where a polite waiter indicated the table at which I could be served. Candle lamps burned on each table and the snow white lines and shining table silver added to the luxuriousness of the scene. I gave my order and in due time was served, parting in the meantime with coin to the amount of $1.20, everything included. Living in this manner comes high, but it was a case where I must have it. If I had been a "drinking" man two dollars or more would have disappeared in the capacious wallet of that white dining car steward. A JOLT IN THE NIGHT-TIME. When I returned to the Pullman sleeping car, I felt like a man with his physical strength renewed. 'As the time wore on, and the berth was prepared, I retired and it took but a short time for me to find myself in the land of dreams. The rumbling of the fast traint, the stops at the stations along the route, shook and half awakened me at times, but I soon got accustomed to this and I slept on. I awoke later however with a start. It seemed as though a freight train was being coupled instead of a vestibulated fast flyer. I raised the curtain and looked out. It was foggy. I saw electric lights and judged that I must have reached Pittsburgh. It was about three o'clock and so I sank back upon the pillow and tried to go to sleep again. A WRECK IN THE RAILROAD YARD. I could not sleep. I did not sleep and finally at about six o'clock decided to get up. When I went into the lavatory, I met a white passenger there, who remarked that the wreck had made us nearly an hour late. A brakeman had told him that the locomotive to our train and plowed its way half way through a baggage car that night and had been so badly damaged that it was "put out of commission." Later the porter remarked that our car had gotten the worst part of the conclusion. In the fog, the engineer had been unable to distinguish the signale. No one had been injured. I understood it all. I remembered the terrific rife and for the first time in my life. I had been in a train collision, but no worse for wear. IN THE UNION STATION. We were now, on our way to Cleveland, where I expected to make connection with the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Flyer, and would have reached Detroit at 12:10 that day. But we lost time and we continued to lose it. When we reached Cleveland, the Lake Shore train had gone. The white train-shed porter gathered up my luggage and I placed it in the check room and I started out to find Hon. H. C. Smith editor of the Cleveland Gazette and one of the brainiest newspapers in the country, whom I had not met for more than eighteen years. When I reached his office in Blackstone Building, it was 9:30 Central Time and he had not arrived. I had nearly two hours to wait for the next train, so I busied myself with strolling through the business streets of this Ohio city and gazing upon the sights, which then possessed special interest to me. "JIM. THE PENMAN." The Goldiers and Sailors Monument attracted my attention, the County Court House Building and the City Hall Building were places of special interest, while the magnificent arcade were a source of neverending delight. I entered a five and ten cent store and to my surprise saw a colored man sitting behind a desk doing correll-work with pen and ink and writing visiting cards. I spoke to him and gave him my card expression, inscription and gratification that he hold such a position there. His sign read, "Jim, the Penman." He instantly recognized me and said that he had heard and known of me. He was a friend of Harry Smith as he called him. I did not tarry long, but accepted one of his magnificently written cards and moved on to another point of interest. The PLANET will be sent you four months for 50 cents. I was a stranger in a strange land. When I gave my name to colored citizens, they generally knew the name, but not the individual. Tired out at last, I started for the Union Station. I failed to state that I had taken my breakfast in the Union Station. I felt somewhat indisposed but after dining, I felt all right again. White waiters ministered to my wants and no sign of discrimination on account of color anywhere apparent. EDITOR SMITH'S GREETING. When I re-centered the station I found walking up and down. Hon. H. C. Smith. I had left a note at his office and he had come to meet me. This was the same Harry Smith, almost as young looking as of yore. He greeted me heartily and then after minor enquiries plunked into a discussion of conditions existing in this country of ours. He bewalted the fact that colored men would not stand up for their rights in Cleveland, although he as legislator had gotten a civil rights bill placed upon the statute books of the State. Then he discussed public men and told of changes which had taken place even in his home city. As he talked, all of the fire of the old days was in evidence. He was still a leader, sometimes of an unwilling and hesitating people. My train was late and we talked on. ON TO TOLEDO. When it was announced, he helped me with my luggage. I took the day coach for Toledo, not knowing that the train carried Pullmans as the Information Bureau had told me that there were no parlor cars on the train. I had travelled all the way from Washington to Cleveland with out seeing a colored passenger. I now travelled all the way from Cleveland to Toledo without seeing a colored passenger. The country through which I was passing possessed special interest to me. For a time, I could look out upon Lake Erie, then came the farm land, the small towns, and finally the train stopped at Toledo, where I was to make connection with the Michigan Central train for Detroit. I made my way to the platform and waited. Finally I boarded the Pullman for Detroit. In there was a colored lady bound for the same city. I was assigned to the text car and I saw her no more. AT THE HOTEL POSTCHARTRAIN Reaching Detroit, I was soon on the platform. The colored porter took my luggage and I went into the station where I met Attorney Francis H. Warren and I met Mike Park. The latter had his new automobile at our service. I went direct from the train to Hotel Pontchartrain, the headquarters of the American Bankers Association accompanied therein by Mr. Warren. I was cordially greeted. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1912 The Grand Fountain Here. DELEGATES FROM ALL PARTS OF THE COUNTRY-G. W. MAST- TER FLOYD ROSS WIELDS THE GAVEL. Encouraging Reports From the Official—A Statement of Condition—Light Abend for the Order—Will Increase Dues and Assignments. The Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers convened in this city at True Reformers' Hall last Tuesday at 10 o'clock. Grand Worthy Master Floyd Ross, who has so successfully piloted affairs up to this time presided and Mr. Maurice Rousseille, Grand Worthy Secretary, kept the records. The attendance while greatly reduced was so less enthusiastic. Each Fountain paid the expenses of the delegate. Representatives from Nebraska, New York and other far away points were present. The fact that out of the wreckage, a total Senior or Fountain membership of 20,700 was reported tended to encourage those present. WHAT THE FIGURES SHOW The amount of money collected from August 22, 1911 to September 20, 1912 on the Mortuary Fund was ($83,124,77) eighty-three thousand, four hundred and twenty-four dollars and seventy-seven cents, and on the Trust Fund, ($164,11,21) sixteen thousand, eight hundred and forty-four dollars and twenty-one cents, making a total of ($100,268,98) one hundred thousand, two hundred and sixty-eight dollars and ninety-eight cents. The amount paid on death claims was ($10,339,90) forty thousand, three hundred and thirty dollars and eighty cents. The amount of liabilities on death claims, the death claims due and unpaid up to last report January 1st, 1912 amounted to $150,326,77 and including all other liabilities admitted amounted to $222,326,77. THE GRAND WORTHY MASTER'S REPORT. The report of Grand Worthy Master Floyd Ross was made last Thursday and caused much enthusiasm. He recommended the abolition of the one cent tax. In place of this, the monthly dues and regular assessments will be increased and it is hoped by this means to make a strong effort to liquidate much of the back indebtedness. The Order has been steadily increasing in membership and many who had abandoned the Order are returning to the fold. This is evident when it was asserted that the Order at one time was as low as 15,000 in membership. It will be observed that although there has been a loss of two-thirds of its original membership over forty thousand dollars have been paid in death claims. The new Board of Directors will be composed as follows: Floyd Ross, G. W. M. Maurice Rounelle, G. W. S. Dr. W. H. Smith, G. W. Treas, A. Humbles, R. L. Jones, Granville Hunt. Rev. George E. Morris (new), J. R. Wilson, Rev. S. S. Morris, Irvin East, S. W. Hall, Mrs. L. D. Hodge, Mrs. Sarah F. Lewis, J. E. Browne, Dr. D. H. Stillvary. Pretty Home Wedding. The marriage of Miss Robena Hickmon to Mr. James Jones took place Wednesday night, September 26, 1912 at 9:00 o'clock sharp at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Jones, 200 West 21st Street, South Richmond. The wedding march was /played by Miss Alberta Jenkins and Mr. Joseph Scott. The couple was united in the bonds of matrimony by Rev. Dr. A. Binga, Jr. The ushers for the occasion were Meurs. Floyd Hickmon and Junius Fowkes. After the ceremony, all present were served with an abundance of refreshments. The presents were numerous and showed the esteem in which the young couple was held by their many friends. [Picture of a man with a hat and a suit]. IMPROVED ORDER SHEPHERDS DAUGHTERS OF BETHLEHEM Meets In Its Second Annual Session A Great Meeting It Was The Improved Order, Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem meet in its second annual session at Arvonia, in Buckingham County, Va. on the first Tuesday in September. Promptly at 10 A. M. on that day the session was opened. After the calling of the roll of the subordinate Folds a Committee on Credentials was appointed, after which the delegates were seated and the convention got down to its regular official business. There were exercises for the benefit of the Order and for the entertainment of the delegation every day and night during the session. The welcome address was made by Miss Mary Relwood of Arvonia, who is also a graduate of the Lynchburg Seminary. On Tuesday, September 3rd, which was the opening day the morning session was devoted to the executive business of the Order. At night, a general "round table" conference was had, in which the delegates and public in general took part. The FLOYD R. Grand Worthy Master. Grand Re-elected, Term of Fo Theme for discussion was "Building a Society." DELEGATES ENTERTAINED This discussion was led by J. Thomas Hewin, Grand Shepherd, after which the delegation and visitors in general took part in the discussion. The delegates and visitors were highly entertained and many useful thoughts and suggestions for laying the foundation were brought out at this round-table conference. On Wednesday, September 4th, the morning and afternoon sessions were devoted to the executive matters of the Order. At night the annual sermon was to have been preached by Dr. D. P. Hubbard of Earnoht, Virginia, but owing to some accident he was not present. The Grand Shepherd introduced Rev. Adolphus Hobbs of Richmond, Va. who preached the annual sermon very acceptably to all. At the conclusion of the convention resolved itself into a health conference. For one and one-half hours the delegates and visitors devoted their attention to the discussion of homes, the health, and the general condition of their people in their respective neighborhoods. The discussion now being over, the distribution of the bulletins upon all conceivable subjects for the uplift of the people began. There were about 10,000 bulletins carried home to the subordinate Folds, by the delegates present. GREAT IMPROVEMENT SHOWN On Thursday the fifth day of September, the morning and afternoon sessions were devoted to the executive matters of the Order as usual. Special attention was given to the reports of the deputies which were read at the foremom session. There were great improvements noticed on the part of all the deputies in selecting members for the Order as well as the systematic way in which they are working in their various localities. At night there was a public in- installation of Grand Officers and Directors and short addresses were made by the newly elected officers and visitors present at the convention. The on tire delegation was delighted at the kindness tendered them while in Arizona and the hospitality generally shown them by the citizens of Buckingham county. It would be doing injustice to close this bird's eye view of the second annual session of this Order which is destined to be second to no other Order in Virginia in a few years hence, without meeting Mr. N. C. Wright of Gladstone, Virginia and Mr. B. T. Marshall of Campbell County, who were declared by the convention to be two of the greatest humorists on the floor. Whenever either one of those gentlemen arose to speak it was a signal for an outburst of laughter.

Natural Bridge, Va., Sept. 3. — This, the deceased, William Carter, departed this life whilst in the hospital at Clifton Forge, Va., God, the Supreme Being of the universe, saw fit to call him Tuesday morning. William Carter was one of the best known men of his race in and around Natural Bridge and was well liked by white and colored. He was employed in the earliest dates of 1883 and from that time until his death makes him serve through the administration of six different companies. When taken sick he was acting to the capacity of captain or second waiter. He filled the position with much dignity and great credit to himself and acted in every way possible that would lead to a success for both him and the concern in which he was employed by. The present headwaiter at Natural Bridge who has worked and worked with quite a few men in his past life, of all creeds, but never worked with a man who was ever any more obedient than he. He carried out the discipline of the dining room according to the orders from the headwatter. He acted in conjunction with the kitchen department and performed his duty to the help of his ability and was always ready to receive orders from the manager and headwatter and ready to give such information as may be required by them. In the ranks of the dining room in opening time, he never was found absent. We the under-signed committee, feel if he was as dutiful to his Maker as he was to man, he today rests upon the riffling waters, whose Sabath hath no end. We feel that we have lost one of the great coworkers of his occupation. We hope our loss is his eternal gain. We hope to meet him in the land of rest with theod and His angels evermore. Wives is on the third day of September 1821 God, our Supreme Rule, now in His life the wisdom to claim and remove from our midst our occupation, beloved brother, fellow worker and countryman, W. D. Carter. Resolved That in this, untimely death of Brother W. D. Carter, his wife has lost a loving and devoted husband, his children a loving and tender father, his mother a dutiful and obedient son and his brothers a grateful and sympathizing brother.

Carter, his brother Masons and Pythians have sustained an irreparable loss in one whose cheerful disposition, nobleness of heart and grateful manners has been an inspiration to all.

The Shoulder of Athos, the Baldrick of Porthos and the Handkerchief of Aramis. DARTAGNAN, in a state of fury, crossed the gatechamber at three bounds and was darting toward the stairs, which he回避 upon descending four at a time, when in his breadth course he ran headfirst against Athos, who was coming out of one of M. de Treville's back rooms, and, striking his shoulder violently, made him utter a cry, or, rather, a blow. "Excuse me," said D'artagnan, endeavoring to resume his course, "excuse me, but I am in a burry." Nerarly had he desecured the first state when a hand of iron seized him by the belt and stopped him. "You are in a hurry," said the musketeer, as pale as a sheet. "Under that pretence you run against me." You say, "Excuse me?" and you believe that that is sufficient? Not at all, my young man. You are not polite. It is easy to perceive that you come from a distance." D'Artagnan had already stole down three or four states when Athos' last remark stopped him short. "Monsieur," said he. "However far I may come, it is not you who can give me a lesson in good manners. I warm you. Ah, if I were not in such baste and if I were not running after some one," said D'Artagnan. "Mister gentleman in a hurry, you can find me without running after me—me! Do you understand me?" "And where, I pray you?" "Near the Carmes Doschaux about moon." "I will be there." "Endorsement not to make me wait, for at a quarter past 12 I will cut off your ears as you run." "Good!" cried D'Artagnan. "I will be there ten minutes before 12." ing with the soldier on guard. Between the two talkers there was just room for a man to pass. D'Artagnan thought it would suffice for him, and he spring forward like a dart between them. But D'Artagnan had reckoned without the wind. As he was about to pass the wind blow out Porthos's long cloak, and D'Artagnan rushed straight into the middle of it. Without doubt Porthos had reasons for not abandoning this part of his vestments, for, instead of quitting his hold of the flap in his hand, he pulled it toward him, so that D'Artagnan rolled himself up in the velvet. Timidly opening his eyes he found himself with his nose fixed between the two shoulders of Porthos—that is to say, exactly upon the baldrick. Alas, how most of the things in this world have nothing in their favor but appearance! The baldrick was glittering with gold in the front, but was nothing but simple buff behind. "Whow!" cried Porthos, making strong efforts to get rid of D'Artagnan, who was wriggling about his back. "The fellow must be mad to run against people in this manner!" "Excuse me," said D'Artagnan, reappearing under the shoulder of the giant, "but I am in such haste. I was running after some one and—" "And do you always forget your eyes when you happen to be in a burry?" asked Porthos. "No," replied D'Artagnan, plied; "no, and, thanks to my eyes, I can see what other people cannot see." Whether Porthos understood him or did not understand him, giving way to his anger: "Monseur," said he, "you stand a chance of getting chastised if you run against musketeers in this fashion." "It is one that becomes a man accustomed to look his enemies in the face." "Ah. I know full well that you don't turn your back to yours." Portgas foamed with rage, and made a movement to rush after D'Arragan. "Presently, presently," cried the latter. "when you haven't your cloak on." "Ah I e'clock, then, behind the Lurk-down." "By saying so you have lied twice, menseur." "By saying so you have lied twice, mensieur." miraculous balsam, for wounds, a balsam given to me by my mother and of which I have made a trial upon myself." "Well?" "Well, I am sure that in less than three days this balam would cure you, and at the end of three days, when you would be cured—well, sir, it would still do me a great honor to go your man." "Mondeur," said Athos, "that's a proposition that please me; not that I accept it, but it savors of the great temenna a league of. I think these fellows will never come." "If you are so hurt, someone." said By ALEXANDRE DUMAS "Very well, at 1 o'clock, then," replied D'Artagnan, turning the angle of the street. But mother in the street he had passed through her in the one which his eager glance pervaded could he see anyone. However slowly the unknown had walked, he was gone on his way or perhaps had entered some house D'Artagnan inquired of every one he met with, but nothing, absolutely nothing! He began to reflect upon the events that had passed. They were numerous and inquisitive. It was scarcely 1 o'clock in the morning, and yet this morning had already brought him into disguise with M. de Treville, who could not fall to think the manner in which D'Artagnan had left him a little cavalier. Besides this, he had drawn upon himself two good duets with two men each capable of killing three D'Aramagnus, with two musketeers in short, with two of those beings whom he was teemed so greatly that he placed them in his mind and heart above all other men. Reflecting on his conduct, he decided that gallantness must be his course in the future. D'Aramagnus, walking and soliloquizing, had arrived within a few steps of the Hotel d'Arquillon and in front of that hotel perceived Aramagnus chatting gaily with three gentlemen of the king's guards, on his part Aramagnus perceived D'Aragnag; but, as he had not forgotten that it was before this young man that M. de Treville had been so angry in the morning and that a witness of the retake the musketeers had received was not likely to be at all agreeable, he precluded not to see him. D'Aragagnan was not so doil as not to perceive that he was not wanted. He was seeking in his mind then for the least awkward means of retreat when he remarked that Aranda had let his handkerchief fall and, by mistake, no doubt, had placed his foot upon it, and it appaired a favorable opportunity to repair his intrusion. He stooped and with the most gracious air he could as some drew the handkerchief from under the foot of the musketer in spite of the efforts the latter made to detail it and holding it out to him, said: "I believe, mousselier, that this is a handkerchief you would be sorry to lose." The handkerchief was, in fact, richly embroidered and had a coronet and arms at one of its corners. Aranda blushed excessively and snatched rather than took the handkerchief from D'Aragagnan's hand. "Ah, ah," cried one of the guards, "will you persist in saying, most dis- cerned Aramis, that you are not on good terms with Mine de Boe-Tracy when that gracious lady has the kindness to lend you her bank-orchief?" Aramis darted at 14 Aramigan one of those books which inform a man that he has acquired a mortal enemy, then resumed his mild air. "You are devoted, gentlemen," said he. "This mother chief is not mine, and I cannot fancy why mournour has taken it into his head to offer it to me rather than to one of you, and, as a proof of what I say, here is mine in my pocket." One of the friends of Aramis was not convinced by his assertion and said with affected seriousness: "If it were as you pretend it is," said he, "I should be forced, my dear Aramis, to reclaim it myself, for, as you very well know, Bols-Tracy is an intimate friend of mine, and I cannot allow the property of his wife to be sported as a trophy." "But, my dear intimate friend of Bols-Tracy, I am not less tenderly his friend than you can possibly be, so that decidedly this handkerchief is as likely to have fallen from your pocket as mine," said Aramis. "No, upon my honor" cried his majesty's guard. The young men burst into a loud laugh, and, after having cordially shaken hands, separated. "Now is my time to make my peace with this gentleman," said D'Artagnan to himself, having stood on one side during the whole of the latter part of the conversation. "Monsieur, and he, "you will excuse me, I hope." "Ah, monsieur," interrupted Aramia, "permit me to observe you that you have not acted in this affair as a man of good breeding ought to have done. Why did you no injudiciously restore me the handkerchief? Here is a lady compromised by you." "Why did you so awkwardly let it fall?" "I have said, monsieur, that the handkerchief did not fall from my pocket." "Well, and by saying so you have hled twice, monsieur, for I saw it fail." "Oh, oh! You take it up in that way, do you, Master Gascon? Well, I will teach you how to behave yourself." "And I will send you back to your mass book, Master Abbe. Draw, if you please, and instantly"— "Not so, if you please, my good friend, not here at least. Do you not perceive that we are opposite the Hotel d'Argoulion, which is full of the cardinal's creatures? I have no objection, to killing you, depend upon that, but quietly, in a snug remote place, where you will not be able to boast of your death to anybody. At 2 o'clock I shall have the honor of expecting you at the hotel of M. de Treville. There I will point out to you the best place and time." The two young men bowed and separated. D'Artingan was acquainted with nobody in Paris. He went, therefore, to his appointment with Athos without a second, determined to be satisfied with those his adversary should choose. D'Artingan possessed that invincible stock of resolution which the counsels of his father had implanted in his heart—endure nothing from any one but the king, the cardinal and M. de Treville. He drew, then, rather than walked toward the convent of the Carmes Dechauisse, or, rather, Dechaux, as it was called at that period, a sort of building without a window, surrounded by barren fields. Athos, who still suffered grievously from his wound, though it had been dressed by M. de Treville's surgeon at 9, was seated on a post and wailing for his adversary with that placid countenance and that noble air which never forsook him. "Monsieur," said Athos. "I have engaged two of my friends as seconds, but these two friends are not yet come, at which I am astonished, as it is not at all their custom to be behind hand." "I have no seconds on my part, monseur," said D'Artagnan, "for, having only arrived yesterday in Paris, I am yet know no one M. b. Treville, to whom I was recommended by, my father, who has the honor to be in some degree one of his friends." Athos reflected for an instant. "Well, but then," continued he, speaking partly to himself—"well, but then if I kill you I shall have the air of a boy slayer." Then to D'Artagnan: "Ah. Low you have hurt me! My shoulder quite burns." "If you would permit me"—said D'Artagnan, with timidity. "I have a PARIS Dr. Arlington, "and it is be your will to dismeet me at once, do not incumvene-hine yourself—I am ready." "Well, that is enough, wait well." "Well, that is again well said," cried Athos with a grievous nod to D'Artagnan. "That did not come from a man without brains, and certainly not from a man without a heart. Ah, here is one of them, I think!" In fact, at the end of the Rue Vanguard, the gigantic form of Forthos began to appear. "What!" cried D'Artagnan, "Is your first second M. Forthos?" "And here comes the other." D'Artagian turned in the direction pointed to by Athos and perceived Aramis. "What!" cried he in an accent of greater astonishment than before. "Is your second witness M. Aramis?" "Doubtless he is. Are you not aware that we are never seen one without the others, and that we're called in the musketeers and the guards, at court and in the city, Athos, Portos and Aramis, or the three Inseparables?" In the meantime Portos had come up, waved his hand to Athos and then, turning toward D'Artagian, stood quite asterned. Permit us to say in passing that he had changed his baldrick and was without his cloak. "Ah, ah!" said he. "What does this mean?" "This is the gentleman I am going to fight with." Scald Athos, pointing to D'Artagian with his hand and saluting him with the same gesture. "Why, it is with him I am also going to fight," said Borthes. "But not before I o'clock," replied D'Artagnan. "Well, and I also am going to fight with that gentleman," said Aramis, coming on to the ground as he spoke. "But not till 2 o'clock," said D'Artagnan, with the same calmness. "By Jove, this is a clever fellow," murmured Athos. "And now you are all assembled, gentlemen," said D'Artagnan, "permit me to offer you my excuses." At this word "excuse" a cloud passed over the brow of Athos, a haughty smile curled the tip of Forthos and a negative sign was the reply of Aramis. "You do not understand me, gentlemen," said D. Artagnan, throwing up his head, the sharp and bold lines of which were at the moment glided by a bright sun ray. "I ask to be excused in case I should not be able to discharge my debt to all three, for M. Athos has the right to kill the first, which must abate your valor in your own estimation, M. Porthos, and render yours almost unk, M. Arimus. And now, gentlemen, I repent, excuse me, but on that account only, and—guard!" At these words, with the most gaudit air possible, D. Artagnan drew his sword. But scarcely had the two raplers sounded on meeting when a company of the guards of his eminence, commanded by M. de Jusasc, turned the angle of the convert. "Hold!" cried Jussac, advancing toward them and making a sign to his men to do so likewise. "Hola, musketeer! Fighting here, then, are you? And the soldiers—what is become of them?" "You are very generous, gentlemen of the guards," said Athos, with acrimony, for Jussac was one of the aggressors of the preceding day. "If we were to see you fighting I can assure you that we would make no effort to prevent you." "Gentleman," said Jussac, "it is with great regret that I pronounce the thing impossible. Duty before everything Shenah, then, if you please, and follow us. We will charge upon you if you disobey." "There are five of them," said Athos half aloud, "and we are but three. We shall be beaten again and must die on the spot, for on my part I declare I will never appear before the captain again as a conquered man." Athos, Porthoe and Arminis instantly closed in, and Jussae drew up his soil dien. This short interval was sufficient to determine D'Artagnan on the part he was to take-between the king and the cardinal. Turning toward Athos and his friends: "Gentlemen," said he, "allow me to correct your words. If you please. You said you were but three, but it appears to me we are four." "Withdraw, young man!" cried Jussae, who doubtless by his gesture and the expression of his countenance had guessed D'Artagnan's design "You may retire. We allow you to do so. Save your skin. Regone quickly." D'Artagnan did not move. "Come, gentlemen, have you made your minds use!" cried Jussae. "It is done, gentleman," said Athos. "And what do you mean to do?" asked Jussae. "We are about to Have the honor of charging you," replied Aramis, lifting his hat with one hand and drawing his sword with the other. And the nine combatants rushed upon each other with a fury which, however, did not exclude a certain degree of method. Athes fixed upon a certain Cahusac, a favorite of the cardinals; Forthes had Bicaret, and Aramis found himself opposed to two adversaries. As to D'Artagman, he sprang toward Jusac himself and fought; like a furious tiger. Saurace was 9 fine blade. New ortholaws it required all his skill to defend himself against an adversary who, active and energetic, departed every instant from received rules. This contest at length exhausted Jussac's patience. Furious at being held in check by him whom he had considered a key, he became warm and began to commit faults. D'Artagnan, who, though wanting in practice, had a profound theory, reducible his ability. Jussac, anxious to put an end to this, springing forward, aimed a terrible thrust at his adversary, but the latter parried it, and while Jussac was recovering himself glided like a serpent beneath his blade and passed his sword through his body. Jussac fell like a good mass. D'Artagnan then cast an auxiliary and rapid glance over the field of battle. Aramis had killed one of his ad- victimism, but the other pressed him warily. Nevertheless, Aramis was in a good situation and able to defend himself. Bicarat and Porthos had just made counter hit- Porthea had received a thrust through his arm and Bicarat one through his thigh. But neither of the wounds was serious, and they only fought the more earnestly for them. Athos, wounded again by Cahune, became evidently paler, but did not give way a foot; he had only changed his swordhand and fought with his left hand. According to the laws of duelling at that period, D'Artagnan was at liberty 0 PADREZ D'Artagnan Passed His Sword Through His Body, to assist the one he pleased. While he was endeavoring to find out which of his companions stood in greatest need, he caught a glance from Athos. This glance was of sublime eloquence. With a terrible bound, D'Artagnan sprang to the side of Cahusac, crying: "To me, monstere! Guard or I will slay you!" Cahusac turned. It was time, for Athos, whose great courage alone supported him, sank upon his knee. He cried to D'Artagnan: "Do not kill him, young man, I beg of you. I have an old affair to settle with him when I am cured and sound again. Disarm him only--make sure of his sword. That's it, that's it! Well done! Very well done!" This examination was drawn from Athos by the sword of Cahusac by twenty paces from him, D'Artagnan and Cahusac sprang forward at the same instant, the one to recover, the other to obtain the sword; but D'Artagnan, being the more active, reached it first and placed his foot upon it. Cahusac immediately ran to that one of the guards that Aramis had killed and returned toward D'Artagnan, but on his way he met Athos, who during this relief which D'Artagnan had procured him, had recovered his breath D'Artagnan perceived that it would be disobliging Athos not to leave him alone, and in a few minutes Cahusac fell, with a sword thrust through his throat. At the same instant Aramis placed his sword point on the breast of his fallen enemy and compelled him to ask for mercy. There only then remained Porthes and Bicarat. It was necessary to put an end to the affairs. The watch might come up and take all the combatants, wounded or not, royalists or cardinals. Athos, Aramis and D'Artagnan surrounded Bicarat and required him to surrender. Bravery is always respected, even in an enemy. The musketeers saluted Bicarag with their swords and returned them to their aphthas. D'Artagnan did the same; then, assisted by Bicarag, the only one left standing, he here Jusac, Cahusne and that one of Aramis' adversaries who was only wounded, under the porch of the convent. The fourth, as we have said, was dead. They then rang the bill and, carrying away four swords out of fire, they took their road, intoxicated with joy, toward the hotel of M. de Treville. They walked arm in arm. The heart of D'Artagnan swam in delight. He marched between Athos and Porthos, pressing them tenderly. "If I am not yet a musketeer," said he to his new friends, "not least I have entered upon my apprenticeship, haven’t I?" CHAPTER V. His Majesty King Louis XIII. THIS affair made a great noise. M. de Treville scolded his musketeers in public and congratulated them in private. In the evening M. de Treville attended the king's play table. The king was winning and was in an excellent but mor. "Come here, monstrel le captainne," said he, "come here, that I may scold you. Do you know that his eminence has just been here to make fresh complaints against your, musketeers? Why, they are very devilst!" "No, sire," replied Treville, who saw at the first glance which way things would take—"no, sire; on the contrary, they are good creatures, as meek as lambs and have, but one desire, I'll be their warranty, and that is that their swords may never leave their scrabbards but in your majesty's service." "Listen to M. de Treville," said the king, "listen to him! Would not one say he, was speaking of a religious community? La Vieville, take my place. I must speak to M. de Treville on an affair of importance." Then, turning toward M. de Treville and walking with him toward the embrace of a window: "How did the thing happen? Let us go, for you know, my dear captain, a Sledge must bear both sides. "Good Lord! 'in the most simple and natural manner possible.' Three of my best soldiers, whom you most know by name, M. M. Albert, Purthes and Aramia, had made a party of pleasure with a young cadet from Gaecony whom I had introduced to them the same morning. The party was to take place at St. Germain, I believe, and they had appointed to meet at the Carmes-Doeschaux when they were disturbed by M. de Jussec, MM. Cahusac, Bicarat and two other guards, who certainly did not go there in such a numerous company without some ill intention against the edict." "You say, then, that the cardinal's guards sought a quarrel with the musketeers?" "I say that it is probable that things have fallen out so, but I will not swear to it, sire." "You are right, Treville, but they were not alone, your musketeers. They had a youth with them?" "You, sire, three, so that three of the king's musketeers, one of whom was wounded and a youth, not only maintained their ground against five of the most terrible of his eminence's guards, but absolutely brought four of them to the earth." "Why, this is a victory," cried the king, glowing with delight, "a complete victory! Four men, one of them wounded, and a youth, say you?" "One scarcely attained the age of a young man, but who, however, behaved himself so admirably on this occasion that I will take the liberty of recommending him to your majesty." "D'Artagnan, sir." "And you say that this young man behaved himself well? I should like to see this young man, Treville. I should like to see him. And if anything can be done—well, we will make it our business. Tomorrow at midday, Treville." "Shall I being him alone?" "No; bring me all four together. I wish to thank them all at once. Devoted men, are so rare, Treville, we must recompense devotedness." That evening the three musketeers were informed of the honor which was granted them. As they had long been acquainted with the king, they were not much excited by the circumstances, but D'Artagnan, with his Gasson imagination, saw in it his future fortunes and passed the night in golden dreams. As early, then, as S o'clock he was at the apartment of Athos. D'Artagnan found the musketeer dressed and ready to go out. As the hour to wait upon the king was not till 12, Athos had made a party with Porthos and Aramis to play a game at tennis in a tennis court situated near the stables of the Luxembourg. Athos invited D'Artagnan to follow them. At the game one of the balls launched by Porthos' herculean hand passed so close to D'Artagnan's face that he thought it, instead of passing near, it had hit him his audience would have been probably lost, as it would have been impossible for him to have presented himself before the king. He saluted Aramis and Porthos politely, declaring that he would not resume the game until he should be prepared to play with them on more equal terms, and he went and took his place near the cord and in the gallery. Unfortunately for D'Artagnan, there was among the spectators one of his eminence's guards who was irritated by the defent of his companions. He addressed his neighbor: "It is not astonishing that that young man should be afraid of a ball. He is doubtless a musketeer apprentice." D'Artagnan turned round as if a serpent had stung him and fixed his eyes intensely upon the guard who had just made this insolent speech. "I beg you will follow me," he said. "And when?" asked the guard, with the same jeering air. "I immediately, if you please." "And you know who I am, without doubt." "I: No, I assure you I am completely ignorant. Nor does it much concern me." "You're in the wrong there, for if you knew my name perhaps you would not be in such a hurry." "Bernajoux, at your service." "Well, then, M. Bernauxjoux," said D'Artagnan quietly. "I will wait for you at the door." The name of Bernauxjoux was known to everybody, D'Artagnan alone excepted perhaps, for it was one of those which figured most frequently in the daily brawls, which all the edicts of the cardinal had not been able to repress. The musketeers did not perceive their young companion go out, who, as he had told his enmence's guard he would, stopped outside the door. An instant after the guard descended, As D'Artagnan had no time to lose, on account of the audience of the kink, which was fixed for mildday, he cast his eyes around and, seeing that the street was empty, said: "I have very little time to spare, having an appointment at 12 precisely. Guard, then, monsieur, guard!" Bernajoux was not a man to have such a compliment paid to him twice. In an instant his sword glittered in his hand, and he sprang upon his adversary, whom from his youth he hoped to intimidate. But D'Artagnan had on the preceding day gone through his apprenticeship. Fresh sharpened by his victory, full of the hopes of future favor, he was resolved not to give back a step. So the two swords were crossed close to the hilt, and, as D'Artagnan stood firm, it was his adversary who made the retreating step. But D'Artagnan touched his adversary on the shoulder, D'Artagnan immediately made a step backward and raised his sword. But Bernaux cried out that it was nothing and, rushing blindly upon him, absolutely spitted himself upon D'Artagnan's sword. As, however, he did not fall, and as he did not declare himself conquered, but only broke away toward the mansion of M. de Trouville, in whose service he had a relation, in whose service he was畏惧 of the mansion of the last word his victory had rescued, proclaimed that warmly and without doubt would soon have completed his work with a slight blow when the noise which drove from the street, being heard in the town court, two of the friends of the guard rushed, sword in hand, from the court and fell upon the conqueror. But Athos, Forthos and Aramis quickly appeared in their turn and the moment the two guards attacked their young companion drove them back. Bernaoux now fell, and as the guards were only two against four they began to cry: "To the rescue! The Hotel de Tremouller!" At these crises all who were in the hotel rushed out, falling upon the four companions, who on their side cried aloud, "To the rescue, musketeers!" This cry was generally attended to, for the musketeers were known to be enemies to the cardinal and were beloved on account of the hatred they bore to his enemies. The meles became general, but strength was on the side of the musketeers. The cardinal's guards and M. de la Tremouille's people retreated into the mansion, the doors of which they closed just in time to prevent their enemies from entering with them. As to the wounded man, he had been taken in at once and, as we have said, in a very bad state. The musketeers made their way to the house of M. de Treville, who was waiting for them, already informed of this fresh disturbance. "Quick, to the Loureur" said he. "To the Loureur without losing an instant, and let us endeavor to see the king before he is prejudiced by the cardinal. We will describe the thing to him as a consequence of the affair of yesterday, and the two will pass off together." M. de Treville, accompanied by his four young men, directed his course toward the Louvre; but, to the great astonishment of the captain of the muskets, he was informed that the king was gone staging in the forest of St. Germain. "Has the king seen the cardinal?" asked M. de Treville. "Most probably he has," replied the valet de chambre. "For I saw the horses harnessed to his eminence's cherrie this morning, and when I asked where he was going I was told to St. Germain." "He is beforehand with us," said M. de Treville. "Gentlemen, I will see the king this evening; but, as to you, I do not advise you to risk doing so." This advice was too resemble and, moreover, came from a man who knew R. Bernajoux Spitted Himself Upon D'Artagnan's Sword. the king too well to allow the four young men to dispute it. M. de Trevillle recommended them each to retire to his apartment and wait for news from him. M. de Trevillle sent one of his servants to M. de la Trevillle with a letter in which he begged of him to elect the cardinal's guard from his house and to repaint his people for their audacity in making a scribe against the king's musketeers. But M. de la Trevillle, already prejudiced by his acquire, whose relation, as we already know, Bernajoux was, replied that it was neither for M. de la Trevillle nor the musketeers to complain, but, on the contrary, he, whose people the musketeers had assaulted. M. de Trevillle went himself to M. de la Trevillle. "Monsteur," said M. de Treville, "we fancy that we have each cause to complain of the other, and I am come to endeavor to clear up this affair. How is M. Bernajoux, your esquire's relation?" "Why, monsieur, very ill indeed! In addition to the sword thrust in his arm, which is not dangerous, he has received another right through his lungs, of which the doctor speaks very unfavorably." "Can he speak?" "With difficulty, but he can speak." "Well, monsieur, let us go to him. Let us adjure him in the name of the God before whom he is called upon, perhaps quickly, to appear, to speak the truth. I will take him for judge in his own cause, monsieur, and will believe what he will say." That which M. de Treville had foreseen happened. Placed between life and death, as Bernajoux was, he had no idea for a moment of concealing the truth, and he described to the two nobles the affair exactly as it had passed. This was all that M. de Treville wanted. He wished Bernajoux a speedy recovery, took leave of M. de's Treville, returned to his hotel and immediately sent word to the four friends that be awaited their company to dinner. Toward 6 o'clock 5f de Treville announced that it was time to go to the Louvre, but as the hour of audience granted by his majesty was past he placed himself with the four young men in the antechamber. Louis XIII, appeared, walking fast. He was in hunting, someone, covered with dust, wearing large boots and had a whip in his hand. At the first minute SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1912 "Matters go but badly," said Athos, silling, "and we shall not be made knights of the order this time." "Wait here ten minutes," said M. de Treville, "and if at the expiration of ten minutes you do not see me come out return to my house, for it will be neeless for you to wait for me longer." The four young men waited ten min- utes, a quarter of an hour, twenty minutes, and seeing that M. de Treville did not return, went away very un- easy as to what was going to happen. M. de Treville entered the king's closet boldly and found his majesty, in a very ill humor, seated on and beating his boat with the handle of his whip, which, however, did not prevent his asking, with the greatest coolness, after his majesty's health. "Bad, monstrous, bad," I grow weary. "How? Your majesty is becoming dull! Have you not enjoyed the pleasures of the chase today?" "A fine pleasure, indeed, monster! We started a stag of ten time. We chased him for six hours, and when he was near being taken—when St. Simon was already putting his horn to his mouth to sound the hailish—grack, all the pack takes the wrong accent and sets off after a two time. And there is M. le Cardinal always at hand, who does not leave me a moment's repose, who talks to me perpetually about Spain, about Austria, about England. Ab: Apropos of M. le Cardinal, M. de Treville, I am vexed with you." "And in what have I been so unfortunate as to displease your majesty?" asked M. de Treville, feigning the most profound astonishment. "Is it for this I name you captain of my muckteakers that they should assassinate a man and disturb a whole quarter without your saying a word? But yet, without doubt, my haste accuses you wrongly; without doubt the rulers are in prison and you come to tell me justice is done." "Sir," replied M. de Treville calmly, "I come to demand it of you." "And against whom, pray?" cried the king "Against columnators," said M. de Treville. "Ah, this is something new!" replied the king. "Will you tell me that your three musketeers, Athos, Porthos and Aramis, and your cadet from Bearn have not fallen, like no many furies, upon poor Bernajoux and, have not maltreated him in such a fashion that probably by this time he is dead? Will you tell me that they did not lay siege to the hotel of the Duc de La Tremoulle? Tell me, now—can you deny all this?" "And you has told you this fine story, sir?" asked De Treville quietly. "I speak of the prop of the state-of my only servant—of my only friend—of M. le Cardinal." "His enmence has hastily accused your majesty's musketeers, toward whom he is unjust." "The accession comes from M. de la Tremouille, from the duke himself. What do you answer to that?" "I refer the matter to him, but upon one condition, sire." "What is that?" "It is that your majesty will make him come here, will interrogate him yourself without witnesses and that I shall see your majesty as soon as you have seen the duke." "What then? And you will be bound, cried the king, 'by what M. de la Tremouille shall say?' "Certainly." "La Cheanaye," said the king, "let some one go instantly and find M. de la Tremouille. I wish to speak with him this evening." "Your majesty gives me your word that you will not see any one between M. de la Tremouille and me?" "Nobody, by the word of a gentleman." "Tomorrow, then, sire?" "Tomorrow, monsieur, at 7 o'clock, but beware. If you and your musketeers are guilty." "Till then God preserve your majesty." M. do Trevillie ordered his three musketeers and their companion to be with him at half past 6 in the morning. He took them with him, without encouraging them or promising them anything and without concealing from them that their favor and even his own depended upon this cast of the dice. If the king was still irritated against them they would depart, without being seen. On arriving at the king's private antechamber M. de Treville found La Cheanaye, who informed him that they had not been able to find M. de la Tremouille on the preceding evening at his hotel, that he came in too late to present himself at the Louvre, that he had only that moment arrived and that he was these with the king. This circumstance pleased M. de Treville much, as he thus became certain that no foreign suggestion could insinuate itself between M. de la Tremouille's deposition and himself. In fact ten minutes had scarcely passed away when the door of the king's closed opened and M. de Treville saw M. de la Tremouille come out. The duke came, straight up to him and said: "M. de Treville, his majesty has just bent for me in order to inquire respecting the circumstances which took place yesterday at my hotel, I have told him the truth—that in fact, that the fault lay with my people and that I was ready to offer you my excuse." That's well said," said the king, who had heard all these compliments through the open door, "only tell him. Treville, since he wishes to be considered as your friend, that I also wish to be one of his. Where are your musketeers? I told you the day before yesterday to bring them with you. Why have you not done so?" "They are below, sir, and with your permission La Chesnaye will tell them to come, up." "Yes, yes; let them come up immediately. It is nearly 8 o'clock, and I expect a visit. Go, monieur to due, and return often. Come in, Treville." The duke bowed and retired. At the moment he opened the door the three musketeers and D'Artagnan, conducted by La Chesnaye, appeared at the top of the staircase. "Come in, my braves," said the king; "come in, I am going to scold you." The musketeers advanced, bowing, D'Artagnan following closely behind them. "What," continued the king—"seven of his ennunciates guards placed here do combat by you four in two days! That's too many, gentlemen — too many!" "Therefore, sir, your majesty sees that they are come quite contrite and repentant to offer you their excuses." "Quite contrite and, repentant, hem!" said the king. "There is one yonder of a tasson look. Come hither, monseur." D'Artagan approached, assuming a most depressing air. "Why, you told me he was a young man. This is a boy, Treille; a more boy! Do you mean to say that it was he who bestowed that severe threat upon Jessica and those two equally fine threats upon Bernoujn? Why, this Bernau is a very devil! M. de Treville, Gassau are always poor, are they not? La Chessaye, go and see if by rummaging all my pockets you can find forty pistoles, and if you can find them bring them to me. And now let us see, young man, with your hand upon your conscience now 'did all this come to pass?' D'Artagnan related the adventure of the preceding day in all its details. "Yes," murmured the king, "this is just the account the duke gave me of the affair. Poor cardinal! Seren men in two days, and those of his very best! But that's quite enough, gentleman. Please to understand that's enough." The king took a handful of gold from La Chessaye and put it into the hand of D'Artagnan. At that period the ideas of pride which are in fashion in our days did not yet prevail. D'Artagnan put his forty pistoles into his pocket without any scruple on the contrary, thanking his majesty greatly. "There," said the king, looking at a clock, "there now, as it is half past 8 you may retreat, for, as I told you, I expect some one at 9. Thanks for your devotedness, gentlemen. I may continue to rely upon it, may I not?" "Oh, sire," called the four companions with one voice, "you may!" "Well, well, but keep whole. That will be better, and you will be more useful to me. Treville," added the king in a low voice as the others were retiring, "as you have no room in the musketeers, place this young man in the company of the guards of M. Dessart, your brother-in-law." And the king waved his hand to Treville, who left him and rejoined the musketeers, whom he found sharing the forty pistoles with D'Artagnan. The cardinal was so furious that during eight days he absented himself from the king's play table, which did not prevent the king from being as complacent to him as possible or whenever he met him from asking in the kindest tone: "Well, monsieur the cardinal, how farises it with that poor Jessac and that poor Bernour of yours?"

How to Successfully Make This Delicious and Wheezeome Dainty. Allow one pound of crushed leaf sugar, for each pound of fruit. Heat the sugar in the oven and when very hot remove it and stir the fruit in it till the sugar is entirely dissolved, then place in tars and seal. Another recipe is as follows: Have ready the fruit, gathered on a dry day, and pick out a certain proportion of the finest. Weigh these and put them in a pan sprinkled with an equal weight of fine preserving sugar, being careful when doing this to sprinkle the sugar in gradually in layers with the fruit, so as not to crush the latter, and leave them till next day. In the meantime take the rest of the fruit, together with some peeled and sliced stalks of rhubarb, and cook it all gently in a covered jar till the juice has flowed freely from it; then place it in a sleeve and strain off all the liquid possible. Now take this juice and pour it over the sweetened fruit previously put on one side and leave this to soak-together for twenty-four hours, allowing from one to two gills of juice to each pound of the preserved fruit, the quantity of added juice depending a great deal on whether the preserve is to be very juicy or not. Now pour off all the juice which will have appeared and put it on to boil with an equal weight of pure cane sugar, allowing it to boil up rapidly, and when it does lay in the whole fruit and boil all together for twelve to fifteen minutes, attaining very gently so as not to break the fruit and removing every particle of scum as it rises. This preserve is said to be well worth the trouble, for the fruit will be found quite firm and plump, as well as tender, while the sirup round it will be of a creamy consistency and deliccous in flavor. Almost any fruit can be preserved in this way. ADVICE TO BRIDES. How to Dress Quietly For the Wedding Ceremony. On her wedding day the bride should allow plenty of time to dress. If possible lounge a few minutes after the bath. Then dress leisurely in all but the dress itself, don a loose kimono and sit down with the feet on a comfortable haissock and rest quietly with a book or perhaps manicure the nails or find some light occupation until it is time to put on the dress. This should have been tried on and known to be all ready so that it need not be put on until a few minutes before the ceremony. In this way it will not be crushed from sitting around in it, nor will the wearer be tired and hot and disheveled from being fully dressed for half an hour or so before the ceremony. The veil, of course, is the place de restance, and the bride must decide exactly how far it is to cover the face. Be sure to wear your wedding corseps once or twice beforehand, both in order to see that they are just right and to remove any awkwardness in wearing them. Never get a smaller size for the occasion than you are in the habit of wearing, and in any case wear that very pair when you are fitted for the dress to insure its perfect fit, as no two pairs of corseps are exactly alike. All these little details will help more than you think to keep the face free from unbecoming tired or frightful lines on your wedding day. How to Earn Money. One girl earns money each season preserving fruit. She makes a specialty of peaches and quinces, which she prepares in the following manner: Pare and cut in halves large peaches. To one to tasteful of water add one-half pound of sugar; boll for five minutes. Then drop in two pounds of fruit, cook until tender, then remove fruit to plates, cover with the stirrup and place in the oven to dry, turning each piece often. In about twelve hours the fruit will have absorbed the stirrup and be dry enough to roll in granulated sugar, after which it should be placed in the sun for an hour. It will then be ready to be boxed for sale. Quinces are cooked first in water until tender, then pared and put through a sieve. To one pound of fruit add one pound of pulverized sugar; boll until thick, then spread on plates to dry. When dry cut in squares and roll in granulated sugar. How to Keep Butter Take one churning at a time. Wash in cold water until all the milk is work with a wooden paddle and use new earthen jars. Work every churning smoothly. Sprinkle with a little saltpeter and a little sugar, then pack with a thick dry cloth. Repeat this between every layer until the jar is filled, then pack a thick layer of salt on top of your dry cloth. Cover tightly, put away in a cool place and the butter will keep sweet as long as you want. How to Mend Gloves. White gloves especially have an ap- noysing habit of staring at "the last moment," when you haven't time to darn them. To temporarily mend the rip place a piece of court plaster upon the under side. This will neatly close the ripped seam and will wear for a long time. How to Cut Thin Materials. Great difficulty is often experienced when cutting, thin materials, such as chiffon, net and mallees. If the material is planned to paper it will remain firm and the trouble will be overcome. The Canary's Bath. If you have difficulty in inducing your canary to take his daily bath, say Good Housekeeping, sprinkle a few needles upon the water. You will find that this added attraction will make the bath become a habit with the little fellow. Hawkins-Johnson MANUFACTURING CO., Hair Grower and Restorer, 616 R. 1st Street. Richmond, Va.

Quayle, bishop of the Methodist church and a popular lecturer, in the early days of his ministry went back to preach one Sunday to a former congregation in Kansas and was entertained by one of his old parishioners. After the evening services the family gathered round the hearth and exchanged reminiscences with their guest, apparently without any thought of retiring. Eleven o'clock came and 12 o'clock. The conversation lagged and all showed unmistakable signs of weakness. Dr. Quayle knew politely and rubbed his drooping eyelids. His host moved restlessly in his chair. His hostess ayed the timepiece with growing alarm. The very air was drowning, but no one seemed able to end the awkward situation. Finally, as the clock chimed 1:30 o'clock, his hostess asked depreciating, but with a note of desperation in her voice: "Brother Quayle, when do you go to bed?" "When I get a chance," replied Dr. Quyle meekly, "Kansas City Star. Women and Clothes. In order to obtain a reputation for beauty a woman must put more into her clothes than money—Washington Post.

The Washington, D.C. Old Follows Journal gave an excellent report of the B.M.C. Session. Despite all of the criticism of his policy, Gov William Hodges Mann seems to have won out in his diplomatic handling of the Hillsville affair. The capture of Sidha Allen and his nephew brings to a close the last chapter in this dreadful case. That the authorities can and will obtain a jury which will convict hardly admits of a question and the electric chair may now be seen in the distance, beckoning on these last two unfortunate. TROUBLE IN LOUISIANA. There seems to be considerable trouble in the domain of Louisiana if the reports now being sent over the country from the city of New Orleans are to be accredited. It seems that the death rate in that State' and the investment of the funds of the endowment department in the Temple Building by the management of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias have made it necessary to levy a special tax of one dollar upon each member in the grand juriediction. Now comes the Business Journal of New Orleans with the following comment: The Steege Printing Company, the white printers, are still doing the printing for the Knights of Pythias. The Business Journal has one of the best printing establishments in the South and are paying high rent in the Pythian Temple. Why should we patronize a Negro building if the owners of this same building give their printing to the whites? We have decided to move and perhaps the white printers will appreciate the work and move into the Negro building. The manager of the Pythian Temple says that the Negro should patronize the building and the Theatre, but why should they, when the white man is getting the cream of the work from them, not only in the printing line, but otherwise? These are pertinent questions and demand an answer. We have never understood how some of our leading colored citizens can have the effrontery to assume leadership and then violate the fundamental principles which tend to build up the people In addition to port its a practice allistic co our prof appeals a to whom they owe their support. We know some people, who never knew what it was to support a colored newspaper until they purchased and proceeded to run one of their own. We know some others who never saw the need of supporting colored printing offices until they operated a printing office of their own. Some others never know what it was to patronize colored clothing stores, millinery establishments and insurance companies until they became interested in those of their own. The colored people of this community put a quiet boycott upon these kind of people and while it has not absolutely eliminated the colored folks of this type, they "roar mighty low" in this locality and they hide the work which they have clandestinely secured in the premises. If the race could be rid The complaint here made is against the Grand Chancellor and his committees of the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias of Louisiana. It seems that the Thomas Printing Company, Phoenix Printery, Mr. Theo Kluert Anderson, President and Treasurer and Mr. G. C. Bryant, all colored concerto made a bid for the work and are members of the Order of Knights of Pythias, or at least two of them are and yet the contract was given to a wealthy white citizen to the exclusion of the members of the Order in Louisiana. Up here white print shops do not envy the colored print shops and before our business men hereabouts got used giving colored print shops work, would ask why it was that they did not patronize their own people. One thing is certain, the colored people of Louisiana will never prosper and thrive, from a business standpoint until they learn the lesson of thrift and racial support so generally practiced by the colored people of this state. A colored cone as a rule has only the colored trade of which to depict and when that is taken away backstory states it in the form. In most of our states the minutes and supplies are printed by colored cone. This is true in St. Louis where C. K. Robinson's shop holds saw and in Illinois where the Praternal Printing Company, which is a colored name for Major General R. R. Jackson, does the work. If Grand Charles Green cannot yet his work done in New Orleans, he could try these other printers and that reminded me that W. L. Anderson of Cincinnati had also an printable printer. But why take it away from New Orleans, when the Pathfinder there claim to have offered a privilege of doing the work and they are members of the Order too? There is something wrong some where. By the way it may be well to call attention to the constitution and laws of the Order of Knights of Bethania, which require that a member shall patronize a member of the Order under penalty of suspension. But then this section may not apply to those in authority or to Grand Bectares; it may be that they are obliged by the law. Sehah. ANOTHER HOWLER IN ISRAEL The latest addition to the New hating contingent is Senator New lands of Nevada, who made himself ridiculous by promoting a slur. In a speech delivered by him in the United States Senate, he is quoted as follows: "For many years I have been profoundly impressed by the racial complications of the United States, holding within its boundaries, as it does, nearly 12,000,000 of blacks, and facing on the Pacific hundreds of millions of people of the brown and yellow races, who look upon the United States as the promised land of opportunity. At the Baltimore Democratic convention I presented a platform plank proposing to restrict suffrage in and immigration to this country to people of the white race. "Later Mr. Roosevelt whose views, regarding the right of the blacks in the South have hitherto been in marked hostility to the prevailing sentiment of the South, astonished the country by his declaration in favor of organizing a Progressive party as a white party in the South and as a white and black party in the North. "So far as the platform plank which I sought to have adopted at Baltimore is concerned, I found there was an unwillingness to add this issue to the many presented by the Democratic party in this campaign. I therefore withdraw the plank." His remarks attracted only a perfunctory attention and when he sat down the deliberations of the Senate went on just as they did before. Even the Southern senators did not deem it either necessary or advisable to make any comment upon his remarks. It may be added, too that the colored people are without representation in either branch of the government and all statements made concerning them, however erroneous go unanswered to the country at large. In addition to this, this sleeping race of ours does not properly support its own journals and as a result is practically voiceless in the journalistic councils of the world. Even our professional men are deaf to appeals and dared by the conditions which everywhere confront them. When the explosion takes place, perhaps a new type of leaders will be found and racial patriotism will take the place of racial selfishness. According to wilmasee, Policeman McCall, of the twenty-ninth district, approached the box and Fifty-second first, and Haverford, avenue, about RACE PREJUDICE IN OHIO. It is a very significant fact concerning us that the voters of Ohio defeated the Amendment to the Ohio Constitution striking out the word, "white" in the instrument. It made no difference if it remained so far as its practical effect is concerned as it is in violation of the Constitution of the United States and therefore without force, and effect, but the white Ohio voters wanted it to remain. They thereby emphasized their antipathy to the colored people of that state. As the matter now stands, that rock-ribbed Republican state of the past now takes its stand with Louisiana, Texas and other Southern States. It shows too that Col. Roosevelt had his ear to the ground when he made such a sudden change of front on the race question and violated the spirit of the constitution of the United States in barring colored delegates from Southern States from membership in his convention at Chicago. We should offset all of this by the cultivation of individual friendships with white people and by organizing to counteract the effect of the side of race prejudice which is sweeping so relentlessly against RACIAL HYPOCRITES. The Dallas, Texas Express under the caption, "A Trying Case. The Big Nigger," says what we all to business know. Here it is. Perhaps there is no more tryla than case presented to the colored people than the so-called Negro leader who while forever and often smallly pretending about his race everlastingly bolstered the people with an aversion to the last son of a gun to practice what he preaches. As rule he is a monumental falcon when it comes to excuses for failure to patronize his own people. If the colored person had to rely on the black minor two more niggers for that's what they are to operate, it would fail while in the act of opening. If the other business or professional efforts started by members of the race had to look to this class to support they would likewise fail. A case in point in this city is made clear by one Prof. Bundy, who delivered an address here sometime ago before a Negro audience in a Negro church, the only place in the where he could find anybody who cared to listen to the flow of his elopment wisdom. His "advice" was challenged, and then some. After he was through listening to the praise of the poor people whom he had graciously favored with his "advice" he conceived the idea, from within of without, that the world should read about his misty thoughts, and accordingly, he proceeded to locate a print shop to preserve his art. Did he come to the Daily Metropolitan or the Dallas Express, print shops owned by the people whom he had just held, "advising" the only shops he which will employ the students he is making such herole efforts to graduate. Certainly not. Instead, he had not even go there for a bid, but went immediately to a shop which would not only employ his students, but would refuse him without apology for so doing. This fellow teaches colored children. Most Negro teachers we know are like him. We have numerous other creatures here just like Bundy, who should be advised that the leaders of a race who are worth following should practice what they should be given a lesson. They should imitate the best of the white race, not the worst. The best white people are loyal to their own institutions. They at least do not leave their own institutions, the hope of their children, to patronize the institutions of those who, on grounds of race prejudice, would refuse them a square deal. The Dallas Express does not call attention to the ignorant and stupid conduct of these creatures out of any ill-feeling, but does so with the hope that the people whom they are eternally "advising" may rise up and tell them something. This is true North as well as South East as well as West. We have known of instances where these colored leaders have made application for positions for their children in the very establishments which they have not favored with their patronage. They are in favor of the race, but they embrace in themselves the race which they favor and support. They are the essence of selfishness and can hardly realize their inconsistences until they feel the effect of a "big stick," more vigorously and certainly wielded than is now being done by our able contemporary. There are, of course, some grades of work which cannot be done by colored establishments, but it is but fair that they should be given an opportunity to demonstrate whether or not they can meet the requirements. of this type of colored leaders, the progress noted in one year would astound the universe. Our esteemed contemporary, the Philadelphia, Pa. Tribune commented recently upon our statement, that white men of the Piedmont Valley of Virginia, from which Hon. Woodrow Wilson halls are more liberal in their views and in their disposition to accord equal justice to all regardless of race or color, and enquired of its readers if they ever board or knew of this. No mortal man could make the editor of this paper believe that either John Mitchell, Jr., or the lion. Harry C. Smith has a drop of blood in their bodies. Both have partially worn out their active lives for a class which pays in damms for their devotion. Battle on, you brave race leaders and advocates. Earth has a shaven of rest for each of you, and a horcaster heaven of glory—Martinsburg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press. A QUESTION OF LOCALITY. We hardly think that it will be doubted by any one who has traveled over this commonwealth. Prior to the exclamation made throughout the country by Senator Tillman and Thomas Dixon, Jr. race, prejudice was at a low ebb in these sections and colored leaders visiting this section were frequently accorded social recognition by these liberal-minded white men. Even at Charlottesville, Va., they went so far as to surrounder their churches to the ministers of the Baptist Convention in session in that city and invited the colored divides into their polls. It would astound the average colored and white man residing in the North were he to know the inner feeling and disposition of this type of Virginian. They present Northern interference, but have nothing but the best of feeling for the better cities of colored people of the colored race. When you pick the thoroughbred Southerner from Orange, Culpeper and adjoining counties and from Albemarle, Rockingham and counties of the South-west you will find as a rule a type of citizens who can be trusted to deal equal and exact justice to all men, whether they train as Democrats or Republicans, Protestant or Socialists. The late Gen. William Malone created something of a sensation once when he stated that there were counties in the state of Virginia where trusted white people who had never seen a doggo. It was true then and it is the now. Of courage and perseverance to these rules, but the type of Democratic office holders and thepathy to colored people in this State is largely managed by the section of Virginia from water they hat ELECTRIC SHOCK KILLS 1, INJURES 5 Policemen Were Reporting to Station by Telephone. THE WIRES WERE CROSSED Wind Causes High Voltage Cable to Cross One Used by Victims in Philadelphia. One policeman was killed by electricity and five others were seriously shocked in the most remarkable accident recorded in the history of the Philadelphia police department. The policemen on duty throughout the Twenty-ninth district in West Philadelphia went to the police telephone boxes on their beats to report to the station house. As six of them, separated from each other by at least four blocks, lifted the receivers the wind caused a high voltage electric light wire. on the circuit to cross the police telephone wire. The contact of the two wires caused 7000 volts of current to course through the six bluecoats, killing one and hurling the other five to the ground unconscious. The shock was felt in the station at Sixty-first and Thompson streets by the house sergeant. He dispatched policemen through the district to give the alarm before most of the men had started to report. George W. Freeman was shocked and instantly killed at the box at Fifty-second street and Haverford avenue. The injured policemen are: Joseph McCurry, shocked at Fifty-sixth and Vine streets, severely burned, serious condition; Neil Maguire, shocked at Fifty-fourth street and Wyalusing avenue, serious condition; William Seal, shocked at Sixty-second and Vine streets, allowed to report again for duty; John Cox, shocked at Sixty-second and Vine streets, allowed to report for duty; Walter Bates, shocked at Fifty-seventh street and Girard avenue, allowed to report for duty. Chief Pike, of the electrical bureau, and Director Porter declare the tragedy should be taken as a lesson by councils and hasten the appropriations for the placing of all overhead wires underground; the only plausible theory of the crossing of the wires biping that the wires of the Philadelphia Electric company, carrying a voltage of 7000, sagged on the police 'phone feed wires, which only contain 150. Three electrical linemen and a district engineer and a force of repairmen also visited the scene to investigate. twelve minutes of three. He had on rubber boots and succeeded, after being slightly shocked, in registering his "pull." Two minutes later Policeman Freeman slipped his key in the same box. There was a splatter of sparks and the policeman was hurled against an iron pole alongside the "phone box and then reoled, moaned and fell in a heap to the pavement against the bulk window of a grocery store. Several of the clerks ran out and carried the lifeless form of the policeman inside. Some one ran across the street and summoned Dr. A. P. Targette. He ran over and for some time worked over the man, trying to induce artificial respiration. Meanwhile another man telephoned to the police station and the patrol wagon arrived and took Freeman's body to the hospital. There death was pronounced to have been instantaneous. The Skies Are Darker Than Ever— Politically B. E. M. Argyle Maryville, Tennessee, 1912 The politics of this State, both State and national, is really a vexing problem to the Negroes. They are at sea so to speak. The Republican Party in this State is largely in the minority, notwithstanding we have a Republican Governor and many State officers. As you know it it has have a long time since the old Volunteer State save its electoral vote to a Republican President. In fact, I don't know as it ever did, save back in the reconstruction days when that portion of the State dominated by the ex-Confederates were disfranchised. But now the Middle and Western divisions of the State are too strongly Democratic to think of giving the State electoral vote to any one save a rock-filled Democrat. The Republican Party in the State is largely of the ill-white class and there is practically no hope for the Negro unless he belongs to the trickery sophisticate class. No independent thinker-Negro need expect any political favors in Tennessee in these late days. The "Bull Moors" have practically said to the Negro they need "not apply. The Democrats don't need them, hence the Negroes are left out in the cold, or warm heat of the autumn sun. There is a deal of political displacement, and the thinking Negroes have received such little encouragement from the present administration that they do not feel that it will benefit them to support the present Democrat. In fact, either State of national. They cannot swallow the Democratic ticket because they feel that aary principle of Democracy is intimical to the interest of the race. They are told that the Bull Moose Party does not want them because they are in the South. So you see the political condition of the Negro in the "Old Volunteer State," that hosts of having given so many valiant soldiers in the War of the Rebellion to the cause of freedom is precarious indeed. And what is worse there does not appear on the political horizon the loatry of hope for the future. The clouds get darker and darker, and the sunshine of hope grows dimmer. We have advised our people to hand off, and let the politicians rule the roost. We have told them that we simply aggravate conditions and intensify political prejudices by attempting to give our political aid where we are, treated with such political indifference. I may have been wrong, but I do believe that the Negro ought to spurn with contempt the political "theoer" who would hord him into any political party for a few dollars or upon the promise of political favors. I believe the Negro ought to eschew politics in this good year of our Lord. VIRGINIA STATE FMIR Richmond, Va., October 7-12, 1912.

Experts Show Upward Trend of Living. COAL ALSO MUCH HIGHER Bacon Is the Only Commodity to Show a Decrease, and That Only One-Tenth of One Per Cent. The most marked upward trend of the cost of living is disclosed in the federal bureau of labor's report of an investigation of prices for the last ten years, conducted in the important industrial centers of thirty-two states. Fifteen most important articles of food, as well as coal, comprising two-thirds of a workingman's needs, were investigated. In several cities the investigators gathered statements of merchants on the cost of living, and specimens of those are published in the report. On June 15, 1212, the report shows, fourteen of the fifteen articles of food were higher than a year before, and ten had advanced in the last ten years more than fifty per cent over the average retail prices for the ten year perior-1890-1893. During the last decade prices of potatoes changed most and sugar the least. Their advance were 11.8 and 9.4 per cent respectively. During the last year, bacon, which decreased just one-tenth of 1 per cent, was the only one of the fifteen principal articles of food that showed a decline in price, while nine of the fifteen advanced more than 10 per cent, varying from 2.4 per cent for milk, to 18.6 for round milk. Of the fifteen, only eggs, butter, milk and sugar were lower, but the price of three of these four is normally lower during summers than during winters. In the last year bacon was the only food to show a decrease in price which was one-tenth of one per cent, while other foods advanced. The following table shows the percentage of increase in prices for the last ten years and the last year. Year. Year. Fresh milk 2.4 32.9 Smoked ham 2.7 61.3 Hens 2.8 58.1 Granulated sugar 6.0 8.5 Irish potatoes 7.6 111.5 Wheat flour 10.7 39.3 Pork chops 11.2 86.0 Pure lard 11.3 55.2 Fresh eggs 11.3 29.1 Cornmeal 12.7 63.7 Creamery butter 15.3 33.3 Sirloin steak 17.1 59.5 Rib roast 17.5 63.8 Round steak 18.6 84.0 Smoked bacon 96.7 Coal also advanced considerably in some cities. The price on April 15, as compared with a year before, was higher for Pennsylvania anthracite, store size, in twenty-five out of twenty-nine cities from which reports were secured. In the North Atlantic states Pennsylvania, white ash coal, store size was 11.3 per cent higher on April 15 1912, than a year before; Pennsylvania anthracite, white ash, chestnut size, 11.9 higher, and bituminous, 11 per cent higher. Oust T. R. Men From G. O. P. Ranks. The Republican national committee, in session in New York, accepted the resignations of its members from Minnesota, Oklahoma and Ohio and declared vacant the seats held by members from New Jersey, West Virginia and North Carolina, who are Roosevelt supporters. Successors wore named to retiring members from Oklahoma, Ohio, New Jersey and North Carolina. The committee refused to recognize a telegram from Russ Avery, of California, announcing his resignation and voted to expel him for "disloyalty to the Republican party." Mr. Hilles, as chairman, was empowered to appoint a subcommittee of three to recommend a successor to Mr. Avery. This action was taken, it was explained, because a majority of the state committeemen of California are supporters of Colonel Roosevelt and the choice of a Republican national committeeman could not be left to them. The sub-committee, Mr. Hilles announced, would confer with Republican leaders in California concerning both Mr. Avery's successor and the situation in that state. The sub-committee will report back to Mr. Hilles its findings. In the cases of William Edwards, of West Virginia, whose seat was declared vacant, and I. A. Casewell, of Minnesota, who resigned, the committees voted to ask the state committees of West Virginia and Minnesota, respectively, to recommend their success. norn. Mr. Edward's son was deceased vacant because of his "death in the Republican party." Franklin Murphy, former former teams from New Jersey, was elected to all the vacancy from that treated by declaring Burden. Were no longer a member of the committee. E. C. Duncan was elected to succeed Richmond Pearson, of North colina. Sherman Granger was also elected to succeed Walter F. Brown, the retiring member from Ohio, and J. A. Harris was elected successor to C. G. Priestley, of Oklahoma. Leans From Window: Shot. Leaps From Window; shot. William McAney, a prisoner, after having his finger prints taken at police headquarters in New York, leaped from the that place. In the thirty-foot plum knocked down a small boy who landed and broke the boy's leg. Three policemen shot at McAney as he fled, bringing him down with bullets in the body. The prisoner was taken to the Gouverneur hospital, with three bullets in his body and is not expected to live. It was the most daring attempt to escape, with one exception, ever made from the new headquarters building. McAney was arrested in Harlem and taken to police headquarters. He was taken to the Bertillon room and his finger prints were recorded. He made no objection. As he passed a window he sprang to the sill and fung himself out to the street. He landed in Grand street. Detective Edward Shewley leaped after him from the window, followed by Gus and Joseph Riley. They landed unhurt, and as they rose to their foot begin to shoot at the fugitive. One of the bullets hit another detective on his way to enter the building, but did not seriously hurt him. Three bullets hit the feeling prisoner and he went down. The detectives pounced on him and brought him back to the headquarters building barely conscious. Kaiser and Crown Prince Apart. The Vienna Zeit publishes the following message from its Berlin correspondent: The disagreement between the kaiser and the crown prince has reached practically a complete breach. Verbal communications have almost ceased, and when the prince wants to communicate with his father he does so in writing through his house marshal. The crown prince's last communition to the kaiser was a bitter proach because the latter seet a general to review his regiment instead of coming himself. It is stated that the kaiser absolutely disregarded the festivities in connection with the birthday of the crown prince last Friday. There was a gala banquet and reception, but the kaiser attended neither. He remained only a half hour in the naval meeuvers at Wilhelmshaven to his autumn shooting ground, Rominten. The kaiser joined the kaiserin and Princess Victoria at the station and left again immediately. Babies Mixed In Hospitals That scores of Pittsburgh, Pa., parents are unwittingly nursing the children of other men and women is the intimation of members of the Associated Women's clubs, who have started an investigation of the maternity wards of several city hospitals. Briefly the accusation is that all the babies born in the hospitals are laid in a row on one bed. When the mother or any other relative sacks to see the child the nurse picks up the first one that comes handy and presents it as the real one. Frequently, it is said, mistakes have been made. It was the suspicion of one young husband that brought the matter to the attention of the Women's club The man's name is withheld, as he does not wish his wife to share in his uncertainty. Breastpin Found in Girl's Lungs. A pearl breastpin, which eightteen-year-old Olga Martin swallowed while hastily dressing for a party two years ago, was removed from the girl's lungs at the Lutheran hospital in New York. The pin was located by X-rays and removed with forceps. Quarantine Against Irish Potatoes.

Colored Population Celebrates Its Fifty Years of Freedom—Special Services held in the Church—Prominent Speakers Review Progress of the Race—President Taft and Bishop Walters Speak—Dr. Brooks begins Religious Campaign 1000 Souls for Christ in His Slogan. Mm. Walters Praises Clergy—Wife of Noted Zion Bishop says the Preachers have Mission—Evening School for Adults Open—Dr. Bulkley Issues Call — General Notes. (Allen's National News Bureau, 252 West 53rd Street.) The colored population of the Me tropolis did not forget the significance of the Emancipation Proclamation, and what it meant to them as a race. It was just fifty years ago last Sunday, September 23rd, that the Negro was granted his freedom, and became a working part of this great country. Special services were held through out the city in honor of the day, and prominent speakers told of how the Negro since given his freedom had become a part of the economic, educational and industrial life of the country, and how he lind accumulated property valued at $6,000,000,000. At St. Mark's M. E, Church the pastor made fitting references to the occasion. Others who spoke feeling ly of the day were Rev. W. P. Hayes of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, A. C. Powell of Abyssinia Baptist Church, W. R. Lawton of St. James Presbyterian Church and Rev. R. M. Bolden of the Mother Zion Church The most notable celebration of this event was held in Washington. The occasion was marked by special exercises which were held at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church and Which began last Sunday and ended last Thursday evening. Prominent speakers of both races from every section of the country were present and made addresses. The feature of the opening session was the "Song Jubilee" in which 150 voices participated. Rev. S. M. Newman newly elected president of Howard University spoke on "Fifty Years of Freedom." At the session Monday evening President Taft and Bishop Walters were the speakers. Other well known speakers who spoke in the course of the week were J. D. Carr and J. Frank Wheaton, the well known lawyers of New York. WHAT THE NEGRO HAS DONE SINCE FREEDOM. The Negro has done much since given his freedom. He has made marvelous strides in all directions. Fifty years ago he was a nonentity. Today there are 400 Negro newspapers, 35,000 Negro teachers, 2,000 lawyers, 2,000 educators, 64 bankers 650 young men graduates of the highest colleges and universities, 2,700,000 children in the public schools, 37,000 Negro preachers, and 4,000,000 members of the church. DR. BROOKS BEGINS RELIGIOUS CAMPAIGN. Taking as his slogan, "One thousand souls for Christ before the end of the conference year, Rev. Dr. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's M. E. Church is ready for a religious campaign to spread throughout the city. "I hope to begin a religious campaign soon," said Dr. Brooks, "that will spread throughout this city. I hope this church will fall in line and join in the redemption of this city." Referring to Harlem, one of the worst sections of the city, Dr Brooks said, "It is not necessary to go to Harlem to do the greatest amount of good. We can win a victory for Christ before the end of the Conference year." Dr. Brooks is one of the foremost clergymen of this city. DR. BULKLEY OPENS EVENING SCHOOL. Dr. William L. Bulkley, principal of public school 126, and who also is the principal of evening school 67 for the education of adults has announced the re-opening of the school September 30th for the Fall and Winter work. Dr. Bulkley is urging men and women whose education has been neglected to register at the school ad repair their education, as well as to take one of the many trades that are taught at the school. The school which has done much for the improvement of the men and women of the race was started by Dr. Bulkley about six years ago. Dr. Bulkley realizing the large number of men and women with little or no education set about to remedy this evil and aid them to get prepared for life. Many an aged colored man or woman have had their ambition to read gratified. The trades that are taught at the school have been of much worth to the men and women taking them. Dr. Bulkley is emphasizing the course in stenography and type-writing which will enable young men and women to enter a larger field of economic betterment. Dr. Bulkley is one of the unique educators of the city: He is the only colored principal in the city. He came to New York about 10 years ago from South Carolina, where he was vice principal of Claflio University. He is the oldest living graduate of Claflio University. He is also a graduate of Syracuse University, and studied at the University of Berlin where he got the Doctor's degree. MR3. WALTERS PRAISES CLERGY. Mrs. Lolla Walters, wife of Bishop Walters, the Negro churchman, spoke to a large crowd of young men and women last Sunday afternoon at St. Mark's Lyceum. Mrs. Walters who is well known club woman, in her address praised the clergymen. "I regret," said Mrs. Walters, "that more attention is not paid to the clergymen of the race. Most of our public speakers will invariably refer to men in other walks of life, but they rarely pay tribute to the ministers. While the ministers of the race as a whole may not be as educated as the others of our professional class, they need to be praised for their sacrifice." Others who took part in the exercises were Cleveland G. Allen, the newspaper correspondent, and Mrs. Anna Harper the well known singer. COLORED PROGRESSIVES OPEN HEADQUARTERS. The. Colored Progressives who have lined up with Roosevelt in the fight have opened headquarters at 446 Lenox Avenue in the heart of the Negro population of the city.

CLEVELAND G. ALLEN; Correns DRAKES BRANCH (VA.) NEWS. The death of William Sanders, Sunday night, who came here eleven months ago from Newark, N. J. and married Mrs. Anna Thornhill was a surprise to the people here. A coroner's inquest was held over the body Monday but arrived as nothing definite as to the cause of his death. Sanders with his wife and two daughters, have for some months lived on Organ Hill in the house of Mrs. Little Baskerville as caretaker while Mercy Baskerville occupies a room upstairs. When Mercy came home Sunday night about 12 o'clock a dispute arose between him and Sanders, either about a lamp or the hall door being left open or both. However some hot words followed and finally the men were exchanging paths in sand succession. Mercy finally told Sanders, so witness said, "Come upstairs and we will see who is the best man." Mrs. Sanders testified that she begged her husband not to go, but he waited. He had no more than had time to get in Mercy's room, she said when she heard a man fall on the floor and running upstairs found her husband prostrate, dying with his head against the wall. He never spoke again. There was conflicting testimony between the witnesses. Mercy said he did not tell Sanders to come upstairs. Other witnesses said he begged Sanders to come up. Mercy said he did not strike or make any effort to strike Sanders, that he just came in his room and died. Sanders, it is said is subject to heart failure and he may have died when his passion rose to fever moat. There was nothing in the testimony of witnesses or upon the body to indicate that any blows were passed therefore the jury believed he died from natural causes. He was buried at St. Michael Church Cemetery. Albert Barhen died very suddenly Sunday night. He was in town until late Saturday night attending to his business. The recent heavy rains have greatly disordered the protracted meetings and the sunshine today (Wednesday) the first to be seen this week will mean a large attendance the rest of the week. $10 Send for A DAY AndFree Suit Write-right now-for our wonderful offer.

ROOSEVELT MISSES FALL FROM STAND Colonel Had Just Left When Structure Collapsed. Several men were borne down in the collapse of the grand stand from which Colonel. Roosevelt spoke in Tulsa, Okla., and the colonel himself narrowly escaped. No one was injured seriously, however. Mr. Roosevelt talked for fifteen minutes, and had just stepped from the stand to return to his car when the structure gave way. A dozen men, most of them army veterans, who were in the stand, were thrown to the ground. Colonel Roosevelt ran back to assist the men who had fallen. He saw that no one had been hurt and held the crowd back with a wave of his hand. "It's all right," he shouted. There was some excitement, but he quieted the crowd. At Oklahoma City women were in the forefront, waving flags and bandanas and joining in the scrimmage with the men to shake hands with Colonel Roosevelt. Representatives of women's Roosevelt clubs filled a car on the special train which was run from Tulsa to Oklahoma City. Colonel Roosevelt visited their car on the way and was surrounded by the female campaigners, some of whom told him they had taken the stump for the Progressive ticket. POW-WOWING DIDN'T CURE Child Said to Have Died Under the "Witch Doctor's" Care. Coroner Moore is investigating reports made to him that a child of Mr. and Mrs. Montague Bender, of Lincoln near Tromont, Pa., died while under the care of a "witch" doctor, who tried "pow wowing" on the little patient to cure an attack of dysentery. No other physician was employed; it is alleged, although the authorities are of the opinion that the child might have been cured with proper medical attention. Coroner Moore has fixed Thursday for an inquest, and declares that if any of the numerous "pow wow" doctors who are said to be playing their business secretly in the neighborhood, are responsible for the death they will be held to answer to the law.

RECORD OUTPUT IN ANTHRACITE Chief Roderick's Report Shows Heavy Gain in 191L LOSS OF LIFE WAS HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE WAS HEAVY He Declares the Death Toll of 615 Is Utterly Inexcusable — Many · Boys Killed. Ninety-two persons were killed by cars last year in the anthracite coal mines of Pennsylvania, many of them boys less than twenty years of age. James E. Roderick, chief of the department of mines, in commenting on these statistics in the anthracite section of his annual report for 1911, says: "This great loss of life is utterly inexcusable. Our roads should be kept in safe condition, free of refuge and drained, and should be of sufficient width to enable persons to pass by the care there should also be safety holes at proper intervals. If these precautions were taken and proper discipline insisted upon there is no reason why the accidents from cars should not be reduced one-half." These ninety-two deaths from accident are only a fraction of 615 fatalities inside the innhracite mines last year. How many of the deaths of boys were due to mine car accidents is not shown by Rodericka tables, but the total deaths of boys from sixteen to twenty years of age inside the mines was sixti. The total deaths outside the mines numbered eighty-four, of which twenty nine were boys from fourteen to twenty years of age. Each 1,000,000 tons of coal produced cost 7.69 lives. In 1899 1,000,000 tons cost 7.62 lives. In 1899 the death rate was 3.25 per 100 employees and in 1911 it was 3.48. Falls of coal, slate and roof continue to be the chief cause of accidents, about one-half the deaths and injuries resulting from this. Mine car accidents are the second in rank, about one-sixth of the accidents being charged to that source. During the forty-two years from 1870 the average percentage of deaths from falls has been 40.39, and from mine cars 15.25. Hodderick says rigid restrictions and eternal vigilance on the part of all concerned will make conditions better. Statistics regarding employment and production for 1914 show the following: Miners, 45,324; laborers, 32,905; average days worked, 234; average daily production, 346,906; increase in employees, 22.10 per cent; increased average daily production, 12.92. In 1911 the number of employees was increased 56.10 over 1891, and the average daily production was increased 66.51. The fatal accidents of 1911 widowed 425 wives and robbed 1034 children of their fathers. With the average production per day last year of 231,578 tons for the total of 234 days worked, not including the production from washeries, Roderick figures that if the collieries worked a total of 250 working days in the year they would produce a total of 92,841,840 tons. The 81,175,650 tons produced were the long ton of 234 pounds; in peat tons of 200 pounds they amount to --- EPUBLICAN PARTY TO MAKE EN EQUAL LA PALLETTE THE REAL PROGRESSIVE PARTY Johnson in Baltimore American. 80,917,176 This production is by far the heaviest in history, exceeding by about 4,000,000 net tons the record output of 1977. The bituminous tonnage, as discussed in the other section of Roderick's report, made public some time ago, was more than 149,000,000 net tons.

Miss. Anna. Mary Landis, or Millersville, near Lancaster, Pa., daughter of John H. Landis, superintendent of the Philadelphia mint, salied for London, having been summoned there by an accident to her ance, Cornelius Logan. He was hurt in. an automobile accident and his condition was said to be serious. When Miss Landis arrived in London it was found that Mr. Logan was in a critical condition, and it was decided that the wedding should be performed at once, as it was feared that death might ensue. The couple were married Sept. 3 in London at Mr. Logan's bedside and the bride then undertook to nurse her husband back to health. Her efforts were of no avail and he succumbed to his injuries. Mrs. Logan is well known in elocutionist and dramatic circles in Philadelphia and New York, where she has frequently appeared. Mrs. Logan has cabled her father that she will return early in October.

Lesson XIII.—Third Quarter, For Sept. 29, 1912. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES Text of the Lesson, Comprehensive Quarterly Review, Golden Text, John v. (1) - Commentary, Prepared by Rev D. M. Stearns LESSON I. Malcolm unleashed Mark III. 2015 Golden Text, John III. It "This is the condemnation, that light come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light because their doom were well." It seems to me that the talk was not Christ in any day on the part of many religious people as bad as it was that of the saints in this lesson. May the word and the will of God be dear to us that we shall be to Him all that he desires. Larson H. - The soul in the four kinds of soil, Mark iv, 12. Good Text, Jas 1, 21. "Receive with modest the engrafted word, which is able to save your soul." To know God's life. He recently Himself by His word and Jesus Christ is the Living Word, between whom and the written word there is the most perfect agreement. Receiving Him we become children of God, the children of the kingdom, for which we wait. Lesson 111. The growth of the kingdom. Mark iv, 26, 32; Matt, xii, 21 Golden Text, Matt, vi, 10, "Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven" The title of this lesson is unfortunately as the kingdom has not yet begun and therefore cannot be growing. In all His parables about the kingdom we must remember His saying, "The story of the kingdom of God." (Mark iv, 111) The church, which is His body, is the mystery which is now growing. Lesson 112. The wheat and the tares, Matt, xiii, 24, 30; 36, 13 Golden Text, Matt, xiii, 30. "Whether ye together first the tares and bind them in bundles to learn them, but gather the wheat into my barn." Since the harvest is the end of this age and the devil keeps at work till then, it should be clear to all who believe that the kingdom cannot come in this age. First the church is taken, then the age runs on till He shall come to close it. Lesson V.—The worth of the king dom, Matt. xlh. 44.53. Golden Text. Matt. vi. 33. "Sock ye first the king dom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." The parables of the treg ure and the pearl set forth the pre- chusness of Israel and the church to Him who gave up all for their sales, for they will be the heavenly and earthly centers of His kingdom. Lesson VI.—A troubled son and a troubled soul, Mark iv. 35 to v. 20. Golden Text. Ix. xlvii. 1. 2 (R. V). "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." See a weary man untroubled, peacefully sleeping in the midst of great trouble. See Him mightier than the storm or than a legion of demons, for He is as truly God as man, and all things shall yet be subject to Him. LESSON VIII.—The Ruler's daughter Mark v. 21-13. Golden Text, Mark v. 41. "And He took the damsel by the hand and said unto her, Talitha, cum, which is being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee arise!" Twelve years of life developing, suddenly ended, but restored; twelve years of life wanting away suddenly made whole, for in Him is life. He is the life and the resurrection. LESSON VIII.—The visit to Nazareth, Luke iv. 10-30. Golden Text, John i. 11 (R. v.). "He came unto His own, and they that were His own received Him not." Both this and the later visit to Nazareth (Mark vi. 16.1) resulted in their refusing Him, because they thought they knew Him too well to receive Him as the Messiah. Some one has said that they might have known Him better if they had not known Him so well. LESSON IX.—The death of John the Baptist, Mark vi, 1429. Golden Texts, Rev. ii, 10 (I2, V). "Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give the crown of life." To my mind the story of John is, from the human side, in many respects one of the saddest in the Bible. A great man in the sight of the Lord, forcetold centuries before he was born, filled with the Spirit from his birth, honored to hear the voice of God and baptize Jesus, yet killed to please Herodias. LEZON X.—The mission of the twelve, Matt. lx, 35; x, 15. Golden Text, Matt. x, 40. "He that receiveth you receiveth me, and be that receiveth me receiveth film that sent me." Another perplexing lesson to those who see only the earth side. Sent forth with blessing only for forgal, to be stowed freely, promised hatred and persecution and probably death. Yet we know that "As for God, His way is perfect." (Pa. xvill, 30.) LEZON XI.—Judgment and mercy Matt. xl, 20-30. Golden Text, Matt. xl, 28. "Come unto Me all ye that in-lor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." All spiritual things are hidden from unbelief and from the wisdom of this world. Only those who are like little children, the meek and lowly can understand. Lemon XIL - The feeding of the 5,000, Mark vi. 30-44, Golden Text John vi. 35, "Jesus said unto them, saw the bread of life." Instead of puzzling over that which is too deep or too high for us, there is something within reach of all. Do as the lad did and give our all to Jesus, that He may bless and multiply it and use us to give to the hungry the bread of life. "All power is His." HOW TO TREAT SPRAINS. Never Try to Walk Off Effects of Such an Injury. A aprain is a twisting or wrenching of a joint with tearing of the ligaments and surrounding soft parts. There may also be some injury to the cartilages, and even portions of the bone to which the ligaments are attached may be torn away. Accompanying these injuries there is more or less escape of blood into the joint itself and surrounding tissues. Sprains are most important injuries and permanent disability frequently follows from a failure to give them proper immobilization. Severe sprains are even more serious than fractures. There is nothing more dangerous than to attempt to walk off a sprain of the ankle injury frequently given to the patient of such an injury. In no case pain the first thing is to prevent any further infusion of bond into the joint. This may be accomplished by the use of pressure and cold applications. For the limb and apply a thin bond to the joint. An ointment may then be applied, or the bond age may first be wring out in cool water and then applied. Such a bond age should not be put on too tightly, later, on becoming dry. It is not to shrink. Lead water and lambumum is a useful application for the relief of pain. If pain persists under the use of cool hot applications should be tried. Frequently by immersing the part in very hot water for several hours the pain will be entirely relieved. As swelling and pain subside slight movements of the joint and the massage should be practiced daily. In the intervals keep the part immodulated by splints. HARDWOOD FLOORS. How to Keep Them Clean and In Good Condition. Concerning the care of the hardwood floor—final them as has 'em must tend 'em—Country Life of recent date mays: Wax affords the best protection for the floor as the tiles in the show, unless unusually sharp, will slide in but on the way without breaking its surface or injuring the sheeting underneath. Use a good hard floor wax. The various waves upon the market are better than any which you could mix. They are neither pure beeswax nor pure paraffin, for those would never harden, but would catch dust and become grainy. Apply a very thin coat of this pre- pared wax to the floor. The tendency is to use far too much wax. Only a thin film should be left upon the floor, and this should be permitted to set for twenty or thirty minutes before using the weighted brush. This is rubbed across the grain, and then a piece of soft brushes carpeting under the brush will increase the luster. In the regular care of a wax finished floor a dry desk map should be used for removing the loose dust. This will be enough if a careful oversight is kept to see that any dulled places receive a little wax and a rubbing with the eraser if small, with the brush if larger, whenever they need it, whether that is once a week or once a month. The whole floor ought not to need waxing offener than once a year if the wax is used clear and twice a year if it is used over shellac. How to Freshen Wilted Lettuce. The French housekeeper never throws away her precious lettuce or other gare fishing green merely because it is wilted. Instead, she gives it a judicious treatment that restores it to a state of comforting crispness again and thus saves not only her money, but her time as well. First of all, the discouraged salad green has a refreshing bath in cool water, after which all the superfluous drops are shaken off. Then it is put in an air tight pail in the coolest place possible for an hour or two. When the receptacle is opened the green is found to be in perfect condition. It is kept covered until just before it is to be served. If ice is not available for the freshening process set the pail in a pan of running water with a cool cloth over the top of it and a weight to keep if from tilting over. This works like a charm in the case of parsley leaves, etc. An empty coffee can is a good receptacle for this purpose, scalded, of course, to fresh odorlessness and kept for that purpose alone. How to Make a Fall Frock How to Make a Fall Frock. Plaited skirts are coming in again no doubt as a result of the overtight skirts which are now beginning to feel the inevitable reaction. These plaited skirts are kept very flat by means of bands attached underneath, holding the plait in position, one band passing around the hips, another just above the knees. Some dress- makers add a third at the hem. They are very much more graceful even when kept close to the figure than the hobble, and they give some freedom to the movements of the wearers in walking. In nuns' velting, soft silk and very fine mohair the effect is ex- ertent. Dainty Note Paper. The prettiest writing paper for a note is the Japanese paper with the charmingly painted Japanese scenes at the top, done in black and white or, more accurately, in inkpa. This goes to scent a box, and the box itself is quiet and pretty. It makes a good "train, gift," which, outside of the inevitable book is always so hard to think of, and it certainly most admirably replaces the postal card for the note of a more fine or two. It can also be had at the same price with highly tinted Japanese scenes as a heading, but this kind is not half as artistic as the other. A Second Shook. Lord Saye and Sole is the present head of one of the very old families in England, a family, by the way, noted for its dignity and exclusiveness. The story goes that it was a member of this family who once staggered her relatives at dinner one evening. "Mother," she remarked casually, "I was married today." Her mother, who would have regarded any display of emotion as an everlasting disgrace, controlled herself by a tremendous effort. "My dear," she said coldly, "you might at least have waited till James had left the room." James was the footman waiting at table. "But it's James I've married," the young lady explained.

He made himself very agreeable, sang songs and delivered speeches. He was proposing the brides health when two polishmen rushed in and arrested him as an escaped inmate from a neighbouring yankum. The prisoner took his arrest calmly and sentingly. He bowed politely to the others and said, "I think you have made a mistake, gentlemen. There"* pointing to the bridegroom* "is the man you want." Two Dollars to the Good. An advance agent was ahead of a small one-night stand show. The theater, in a town of 4,000, was called the James Opera House, but the agent, thinking it had no name, had his "dates" printed "Grand Opera House." The "dates" are the sheets that go on the billboards and show what night the performance will be given. When the manager of the opera house saw the dates he was provided "You've got to get your changed to James Opera House," he said, "Jones, that's my name. It's named after me." He insisted. So the agent went to a local newspaper office to see what he could have the dates struck off for. He found it would cost $8. That was too much. He went back and told the opera house manager. The latter thought it over awhile. "Woah!" he finally said, "that is a lot to pay. I'll tell you what to do. You glance $3 an' I'll git a pointer to change the name of the opry house to the "grand."

An Englishman went to Paris, where he stayed for some time. When he returned to his home a friend asked him how he had liked France. "A beautiful country," he replied, "perfectly beautiful. They know nothing there. They don't even know how to talk. Why, they call bread 'pain'" "But," his friend said, "that is the French word for bread." "Oh, I know that!" But why should they call it that? It really is bread, you know—"Everybody's." Willing to Help Jules Janin, whose memory was recently honored by the placing of a memorial tablet on his house in Paris, was famous for two things, his great critical ability and his abominable handwriting. One day a friend of Janin's received a letter from him. With great pains and patience he managed to gather from the few words he could decipher that it was about a matter of importance, but what the matter was he could not make out. There was nothing to do but to take a cab and drive directly to Janin's house. "Ah," said Janita, "it is you! So you have read my letter? "Not at all," replied his friend. "I have just received it, and have come to ask you to read it to me." "Oh," said Janin in a dazed, hopeless voice. Then with a sigh of an supreme resignation, "Very well, I will try." Undecided One day a professor of mathematics at a certain university prepared to set out on a short journey on horseback. He was an absentminded person and while saddling the animal was thinking out some intricate problem. Some students stood near and watched him abstractly place the saddle on blind side before. "Oh, professor," exclaimed one of the group, "you are putting the wrong end of your saddle foremost." "Young man," replied the professor, with some tartness, "you are entirely too smart. How do you know it is wrong when I have not yet told you in which direction I intend to go?"—Uppincott's. VAIN MR. STONE. He Primped Up a Bit Before He Would Face the Camera. Thomas Jefferson Stone was a typical claim holder and prospector. He had no teeth, his hair was gray, his features silky, and withered, and he looked sixty-three or sixty-four. He told me, however, that he was only forty six. There was a cowed, placed, helpless air about him, and yet in his eyes there was a dis-faint and glimming, the fire of a fading fanaticism. He was still the victim of an obsession. He had been twenty-five years prospecting, picking out claims, hoping to strike it rich some day. I asked him how he lost his teeth. He said by taking medicine good for neuralgia, but too strong for his ivories. I asked him why he didn't have a false set made. He said he, had had a set, but he took them out and put them in his pocket one day, where his handkerchief was "to rest his mouth," and, happening to take out the handkerchief quickly, he pulled out the set of teeth also, and the plate fell on the floor and broke. I told Thomas Jefferson Stone that I wanted his photograph, and three days afterward he was ready for the kodak. When he came I saw he had a set of teeth in his mouth. I was astounded. We were scores of miles from any dentist or any town where a dentist could be. "Hello, Stone." I said, "you've got a set of teeth. How's that?" He gave a smile of conquest. "I borrowed 'em to be photographed," he said. Gilbert Parker in Metropolitan. Raining and, Reigning President Hadley reveals that the day when he succeeded the learned and witty Timothy Dwight as president of Yale university the exercises attendant upon the transfer of authority were married by a heavy fall of rain. "It came down suddenly," said Dr. Hadley, "just as a column of people which President Dwight and I headed were crossing the campus. Some one handed us an umbrella which I was about to open when my companion took it from me. "Let some carry, R. professor?" he whispered. "Your reign will begin to morrow." Philadelphia Star. A. Toniis For Her Guerta Mrs. Blane was giving a tea party on her yacht. The affair, for some reason, was dragging dreasily. The guests talked of nothing but the weather, and even in this talk there would come long, deathly dues. Suddenly Mrs. Blane, losing her balance, fell heavily against her mother. C. F. HOWARD "I HAD TO DO SOMETHING." In law who sat beside the low rail, and with a meaningry the door old lady went headfirst, overboard. Of course she was rescued, but afterward Mr Blane took Mrs. Blane privately to task. "How damn you were," he said, "to knock mother into the water like that. I'm afraid she won't care to visit us again in a hurry. You really should be more careful." "Now, George," said Mrs. Blane, "the reasonable 'I had to do something I simply had to. Didn't you see how our party was dragging?" A Matter of Dialect An elderly Noahman had been convicted of drunkenness and sentenced to fourteen days. The warrior handed him a bucket of water in his cell next morning with the remark, "That's to clean your cell with." What was his astonishment on returning to find Sandy, who had divested himself of his clothing, having a bath. "Good gracious," exclaimed the warrior. "What are you doing?" "Why," innocently asked Sandy, "didn't ye say it was to clean malice?" The "Spanish Ham." Leverson Gower tells how the representative of Spain at the court of St James dined with his family on one occasion and how a servant then and there beat all records in the art of misplacing the letter "h." Flinging the door open, he announced: "The Spanish, ham!"—making a perceptible panic before he added—"has saddor." The author declares that he never will forget the effect produced. "Elmuid Yntes and Corney Grain, who were of the party and talking together at the moment, bolted into the small dining room and behaved certainly as well as the circumstances permitted. My wife had the profoundest difficulty to control her laughter and accord a proper reception to our guest, who was, of course, innocent of the abuse of his distraction." --- How to Remove Jelly From Mold. Have in a pan enough water a little more than blood warm to come to the top of the mold and let it stand in the water half a minute. After lifting out wipe it off and place over it the platter into which the jelly is to be turned turn over both platter and jelly mold simultaneously. Let the mold rest a moment before lifting it off the jelly. Another way to loosen the jelly from the mold is to press hot cloths over the sides and bottom.

Old Fashioned Recipes For the Autumn Table Gingerbread.—One cupful of molasses, one teaspoonful of soda (put into the molasses), one tablespoonful of melted butter, one teaspoonful of ground ginger, a pinch of salt, one-half cupful boiling water, one pint of flour; mix well together in the usual way, and bake in either-gum pans or loaf pan. Lamb, Sweet Potato and Tomato Stew.—Take two pounds of stewing lamb, one pint can of tomatoes, one can lima beans (strain off water), one-half quart sweet potatoes (cut into pieces), one-half cupful of water, one small onion chopped fine, one tablespoonful chopped parsley, one tablespoonful salt and one-half teaspoonful each of ground ginger, mace and pepper. Put the lamb in a saucepan with water and tomatoes and when it begins to boil put in the onion, parsley and spices and cook slowly for one and one-half hours. Then add the sweet potatoes. Cook one hour longer and add the beans one-half hour before serving. Fresh tomatoes and lime beans can be used when in season. If fresh beans are used put them in the same time as the potatoes. The meat can be used for hash or croquettes. The New Collar: If a girl has a pretty throat she should adopt the new Rolexesperiere collar that is so modish this fall. A ROBIN PINNER EFFECT. The illustration shows this new backwear combined with revers and a jabot of lace. To Have Graceful Acme If the woman who declared that she would rather have beautiful arms than be clever and good has not our entire sympathy, at least she has our understanding. The character of our arms is so intimately connected with our whole appearance. Our feet, if their modeling is at fault, may be discreetly veiled in skirts and tucked away under the tables and chairs, but we can do little to disguise our arms. The woman who has time to exploit every chance of beauty which she possesses will practice using her hands and arms before a mirror in order that their movements shall be graceful, but it is a mistake for women who are dignified and reserved to use too much gesture. The emotion of the moment should, if it is strong enough, bring gesture into play, but each should be expressive. Meaningless, movements are only vulgar and distracting. Paint Remover. Women who are hovering around household furniture with pots of paint during these fall days will be glad of the information that common salt, combined with brown soap and hot water, will remove the paint from their fingers after their task of touching up scratched corners is finished. Enamel paint, if not got off immediately, leaves on the hands a heavy deposit that from white turns a pale gray blue and will resist even turpentine and ammonia. The salt should be used before the paint dries, and its use should not be stinted. A Shohorn Novelty. Convenience is the keynote of modern life, and daily something is seen which emphasizes this. The latest addition in line with this face for madam's boudoir is a shohorn of silver plate attached to an ebony handle three feet long.

Glimson" and of times mailing under other names has been persistently swirling both white and colored people in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, and Phoebe. His plan has been to present that he has money in a colored bank in this city. He goes his victim to write to John Mitchell, Jr., President and tell him to send him six hundred and fifty dollars or some like amount at once to the people who is writing the letter or advancing him a small sum of money until he has gotten his money from Richmond. He alleges that he is captain of a mailing vessel, which according to his letters has been lost, near Thimble Light off Buckroe Beach and as he has been carrying on this kind of swindling for about two years, that boat is presumably wrecked every two or three weeks.

MAKING THE LITTLE FARM PAY TO group the idea of money making through selecting the better types of live stock farmers need to learn the story of Banostine Belle de Kol, queen of the dairy world. This Holstein cow, now five years old and owned by Dimmick & Bro, Ohio breeders, produced last year 27,404.4 pounds of milk testing 3.86 per cent fat. This means over nine gallons of milk per day, or enough to supply thirty-six families each with a quart of milk daily. If made into butter her fat production would equal 1,322 pounds of butter, or over three and one-half pounds per day for 365 days. This is all the more remarkable because if was made without her being dry at all before freshening. No other cow has ever produced such an enormous amount of butter fat in a yearly test, and only one has exceeded Banostine's milk record. Banostine Belle De Kol is a strong, vigorous cow of wonderful capacity and weighs in the neighborhood of 1,000 pounds. She is the daughter of Banostine Belle, who was a grand-daughter of Euphrasia A., one of the greatest foundation cows the breed has ever produced. The sire of Banostine Belle De Kol is Friend Hengerveld De Kol Butter Boy. During the time that Banostine Belle De Kol was in the test she received nearly if not all the time more or less enslage and alfalfa. When available she received roots and mixed grain ration, the foundation of which was bran oats. She was also fed some dried Alligators not only supply valuable leather, but there are a number of by-products. The skin scrapings can be used for making glue; the teeth, a perfectly white ivory of medium hardness, can be worked into an endless variety of small articles; the grease given a fine yellow oil, which is used by the natives for lung diseases, while the flesh and bones can be used for fertilizer. The Maltese cat does not exist in Malta. At least not one has been seen there of the color called Maltese in the United States. Births in Holland.

BOWSFIELD beet pulp, especially when fresh roots were not available. Her grain ration from the first was gradually increased to twenty-five pounds or a little more, but later reduced to as low as nine pounds per day. As near as can be estimated, the average amount of grain fed was twelve or fourteen pounds daily. She also received, when it was available, green corn with the stalks and also green clover and any other green feed, that might be available, including feed from the pasture. A cow of fair qualities produces four gallons of milk daily. She is not worth keeping for a dairy unless she will do this, and remember it takes no more feed, room of labor for one giving five gallons than for one giving three or four. This reasoning applies with equal force to other kinds of stock, but more particularly horses and swine. It requires only a little intelligent care in selection to raise a horse that will bring $250 to $500, whereas $150 to $200 is the price of an ordinary animal. The feed bill is not a dollar more. In raising cows breeding and selection will produce animals that will earn $100 to $150 a year or that will sell for $100 to $500, while the indifferent kind are worth next to nothing. There is the same difference in breeding hogs. The gain comes chiefly after the owner has produced something a little better than ordinary. This truism applies to poultry, fruit and farming generally. Roasting Meat. Always lower the temperature of the oven somewhat fifteen or twenty minutes after a roast has been placed in it. This will insure that the juices be retained. If the shoemaker stuck to his last And the tailor should cling to his goose If the sailor remained on the mast And the hangman held fast to his noose If the barber should cling to his shears And the baker should stay in his bank If the butcher should spend all his years Merely pushing pigs into a tank If the carpenter clung to his saw And the farmer held fast to his hoe If the lawyer stayed close to the law And the baker kept minding his cough If the shipmaster held his bille And the wicklayer only hid bricks And the doctor turned only to polis Where should we find people to mix In tactical 14.

A couple of young people classed to top in one of its beautiful parks while waiting for a street car. It was a beautiful afternoon in Maya, they looked above them a cloudless sky not their vision, while spreading out in front of them were seen every color of the rainbow in the leaves beneath the flowers of the park. They colored and gently or quite white until finally they began to crack of the Ideals in life.

I would sit on the front porch late at night and early morning and watch them "sail" by, some bound for Jacksonville. Flies going to New York. One morning quite early a trotough freight stopped opposite my room. I saw the section hands crowding around a circular car. I went over and found that one of the trucks had hit on causing the front wheels to run into the edging but those in the rear were still on the main line. I thought to myself it will be only a short while before the track will be finished. It would be several hours before the three main trains would arrive and the pressure the track would be on. I recounted. I was passed on my way to school quarter of a mile distant. They had made very little headway as yet. From the school house I could see them at work. At 9 o'clock one passenger train arrived, at 10 o'clock another, that one or two freight trains arrived. It was near seven o'clock A.M. I looked out the school house window and saw these trains with their passengers passing away to pass. I turned and said to the children: "We have a regular train to the main station." No train can pass without stopping. After I resumed my work I thought of that the broken truck that caused the delay of so many trains not only our daily but times and miles away.

Lainly, She Had Bown Shrunken by Both Old Friends and Negroes. Chicago, Sept. 12 — Mrs. Etta Terry Daryl Darvac Johnston, white wife of John Arthur Johnson Negro champion heavyweight prize fighter of the world, died today in the Provident Hospital as a result of self-inflicted bullet wounds. An liquefied into Mrs. Johnson's death was set for 2 o'clock. Stories that the pupilist and his wife had quarrelled had reached the ear of the coroner, and these are to be investigated. The black champion was grief stricken. "This is a knock-out for Jack Johnson," he said. "It's the stiffest blow I ever got. She didn't know how much I cared, or she never would have done it. We hadn't quarrelled. There was no reason." The Café de Champion was closed today. Crowds gathered in the streets in front of the place, and there were numerous and heated discussions of the marriage whites and blacks. At times it appeared that there might be trouble. REFUSES TO SEE FRIENDS. Johnson shint himself in the apartment and refused himself to all callers. Even his most intimate friends were told the champion did not want to see anyone. It was reported that he felt that never again would he enter the prize ring. Mrs. Johnson, former wife of Clarence Duryen, the horseman, and once a conspicuous figure in New York and London, had been suffering from nervous trouble for some time. Facts that came out after Mrs. Johnson had shot herself showed that she had decided to end her life as soon as her husband left the apartment above his new cafe to go down town. She called Mrs. Vesanle Rhodes, the pugilist's sister, on the telephone, and asked her to come to her at once, that she had something important to tell her. Mrs. Rhodes THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. The. Mrs. Johnson called her two Negro maids into her bedroom and told them she wanted them to join her in prayer. With an arm about each of them, Mrs. Johnson knelt at the bedside. The maids followed her example and the three prayed together for several minutes. As they rose Mrs. Johnson, pressing her hands to her face, said: "Did you a poor woman who is lonely." She sent each of the maids into other rooms, on errands and before either had time to return, a shot was fired and they came back they found her lying on the floor fatally wounded. She was taken to a hospital. WEARS AT DEATH BED A few minutes later Johnson reached home. He was told of the affair and jumped into one of his racing automobiles rushed to the hospital. He arrived just as his wife was held on the operating table where a vain effort was made to save her life. She died shortly after 3 o'clock this morning. Rev. John R. Morris of St Monica Roman Catholic Church, admired extreme unction. Johnson was at the helpline at 1100 wept like a child while the priest was reading the service. For six years Mrs. Johnson was the wife of Charlene Burryea, the well known New York turfman. She obtained a divorce in Chicago in 1910 and married Johnson. She was a cousin of Floretta Whaley, the girl who was years ago clapped with Rev. Jere K. Coxon, from Hempstead, N. WAS WITHOUT FRIENDS. Friends of the woman say that the real mother of her brokendown was the resolution that she had cut herself off forever from old friends and associations. She was treated as her contact by Johnson's Negro friends who presented his having fractured a woman outside of his own case. On the tent trip to Las Vegas where Johnson fought Jim Flynn he is said to have remarked to friends that everybody shunned her because she had married a Negro and that she was unhappy. Mrs. Johnson was 24 years old and the daughter of Mrs. David Tetry of Brooklyn, N.Y. Mr. Johnson was to have left last night for Los Angeles in the hope that a chance of climate would benefit her husband. He broke down shortly before the time and was unable to depart. Then we at the skate park developed the remainder to meet with him, who was to make the trip about the women that he had. REMORSE ABOUT DEVORCE Military personnel are required to have the knowledge and skills for a time before their marriages. In February in Janu- ry 1911 she had been popular with the public and was widely known for her friendships and good deal of humor and wit. In August there was a dispute over the issue and she appealed to the court to seek a hearing. The court ruled that she was not guilty. Johnson was sentenced to two years in prison and was ordered to pay the debt and a heavy fine. That did not increase matters much and there has been a good deal of soldiers. After the woman shot herself in the Cafe de Champion hummed. Within a quarter of an hour whites and blacks tilled the place, ordering lavishly and staring at the painting of the wall showing the white woman in the arms of her husband. The planes at enchanters were going full tilt. Someone danced in and told the proprietor's brother, Henry, "who should be temporary charge, that his sister wanted him to telephone the hospital." "Ah bait!" not time," said Henry as she danced into the bedroom and out of sight. "Ah'm too busy." FARMVILLE, (VA.) NEWS Farmville Va. September 23. Man is that part of God's creation that cannot be extisfied here. We are taught that there is no perfect satisfaction in this life. We spoke in the last week's issue concerning the need of rain in this section and that all the crops were cut short on this account. Since last week we have had a plenty of rain for the time being but too late to make the crops, so the effects of this failure must be felt. Rev.

I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, falling memory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follicles of youth, that has cured so many worn and nervous men right in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his many power and virility, quickly and quietly, should have a copy. So I have determined, to send, a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain ordinary scaled envelope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men and I am convinced it is the surest-acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who is weak and illacuagraded with repeated failures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is it a quickest-acting restorative, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCH ING Remedy ever devised, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: DR. A. E. ROBINSON. 3896 Luck Building, Detroit Mich., and I will send you a copy of this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary envelope. free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 to $5.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free. Editor Mitchell Travels. Editor Mitchell Travels.

OFFER • ND TO VTE FOR ALL I was hired for our job they had described that I must have a bachelor of at the State University of Illinois Class of 1982 where Roy R. W. Hearst, B. D. B. Doctor. I was given under the auspices of the brain of the Nation of Association for the Advancement of Colored People. I had to comply with this request, so in response to my plea for somewhere to rest, I was conducted to a room upstairs at Hotel St. Attoine, where I fell it to a fearful sleep, only to be awakened at about 10 o'clock by my friends who had come to conduct me to the place of entertainment. I arrived at the institute room and found there assembled many of Detroit's most prominent colored citizens. They were eating and toasting and toasting and eating. ATTORNEY WATREN A SPEAKER Here I met not. Editor W. P. Kemp of the Detroit Leader, who had been so kind to me upon the occasion of my previous visit. Recorder R. W. Hagnall was Master of Ceremonies although Mr. W. C. Osby was president. He introduced Attorney Francis H.

A rising vote of thanks to me made me feel better and after greeting all present, I left for my new home on Bagg street where sleep, Nature's sweet restorer came to my relief and tended to make me feel all right for the day's experiences. JOHN MITCHELL, JR. Claims to be the Right One, Too Philadelphia, September 9, '12 Dear Sir:—In an issue of your paper of August 31st I see a notice asking you to find the brother of a William Richmond of your city. Be levying myself to be the brother of the late referred, I take this opportunity of writing to you to tell you I am located at 926 So. 15th St. I will be grateful to you if you will convey this information to the Consul seeking the information. I can be communicated with at the address given below. Thanking you in advance for any interest you will display in my behalf, I am Respectfully yours. JOHN HENRY RICHMOND. 926 So. 15th St. Philadelphia; Pa. (Continuation) Again, I ask, is it wise to return to the party that you have hitherto considered your enemy? Let every man who votes ask himself, is it wise to return to a party that you have hitherto derived no consideration? What do you expect to receive? From past experiences, what have you gained from the Democratic Party? Mind you, I am not prejudiced against either party. Democrat or Republican. Yet both have been thoroughly tested, and found to be utterly inadequate to meet the demands of the times. There are present conditions that are affecting all alike, that if adjusted would benefit all that must live under them. That condition the Progressives promise to adjust. The housewife understands much of this. I would say to our men, don't think more of self pride than you do of your breasts. The Negro question is not the issue of either party and even though as Christ said to the woman of Samaria, they say to us. It is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it to doors. Let us be as wise as she was. She did not lose sight of the object she had hoped to attain. She did not place sentiment of her own feelings above the welfare of her house, and children. She did not lose time squawling over the manner in which he spoke to her. Every little realer knows her object was achieved. Yes we right as well to meet the issue squarely no matter how indigent we may become at what seems unjust treatment. No matter how lofty we may condemn the same we find, that the practice still goes on, regardless of what we may think or feel, which goes to show that our present condition is not what we desire. We cannot demand or compel the protection that we need, and our pleadings are often vain. Yet I say need we feel altogether forsaken. Somehow I can not forget that God says I am the Governor of the Nations, and again, by righteousness is a nation existd. Then wherech lies our true help? Our help cometh from the Lord, who made Heaven and garth. Then why are we not helped then, since ten millions or more of us claim this God to be our God? We have not gotten in the right attitude to be helped. What is the right attitude? Give mine race love. Is it out of a woman's place to acquaint herself with the affairs of men? Does it make her less a woman? I say may. She should strive to understand silt the problems of life, even the laws that know the law that she may rightly teach and solve her children. Let our men learn the true meaning of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of men. Let our women learn the true meaning of the fatherhood of God and the sisterhood of women. Then we will begin to learn the secret of our own resources. We will be surprised to find how much power and help are in our reach. If we be stretch our our wathered hand that helps lie in the lap of despair. Let every race lower, be alive and alive, let those in authority to speak for and to the race have the true power to heart and let, all the people hear, for those are indeed part of the race. Let us not acquaint with the sacred press for the new papers, are a great power in the land. Let us do the little things in our reach. A very pretty affair (too) place Saturday evening Sept. 14th.
