GREAT THANKSGIVING SERVICE HELD BY THE NATIONAL NATIONAL MUSEUM SOCIETY AT THE FIFTH ST. RAPT. CHURCH. Last Sunday at 3 o'clock P. M. the officers and members of the National Ideal Benefit Society assembled at the Fifth Street Baptist Church for the purpose of engaging in a Thanksgiving Service. Promptly at the hour of 2 P. M. they began to march into the spaceless Fifth St. Baptist Church. A large army of men supplemented by a large number of women, which individuals had cast their lot with the National Ideal Benefit Society. It was also quite a scene to behold the large number of children who had been gathered into the Nursery Department of the Order, present on this occasion, to rejoice in Thanksgiving with their mothers and fathers. A large number of friends were present to wish the new Organisation well in its undertaking to benefit humanity. The programme rendered was indeed very impressive from start to finish. Rev. W. L. Anderson, Supreme Vice Master, was the Master of Ceremonies and well did he perform that part of his duty. The Devotional Exercises were conducted by Rev. Dr. S. C. Manuel, pastor of the Fifth Street. Baptist Church and music for the occasion was furnished by the National Ideal Choir, and to say that they covered themselves in glory, is to put it mildly, for their songs inspired every heart and touched every soul. Among the soloists were noted, Mr. Joseph Matthews and Mrs. Ida Drake, who admirably tained their former reputations. The Quartette rendered by Mcdamos M. R. Johnson, Carrie C. Hawkins; Messrs. George Wilkerson, Jr., and S. L. Johnson, made a lasting impression upon the assembled multitude. The original poem rendered by Mr. F. L. Bryant, brought forth many expressions of approval. The following letter from Mrs. Rosa Thompson, National Lecturer, was read here at this point: "1134 Pine St., Phila., Pa., "November 29, 1912. "Mr. A. W. Holmes, Supreme Master "Mr. A. W. Holmes, Supreme Master Supreme Officers and Members of the N. I. B. S., Inc.-- Greeting: "I regret very much my inability to be present with you in your Thanks giving meeting, but find at the last minute that it is impossible for me to attend. This is to extend to you our best wishes for a successful meeting, and that much good will be done for our Organization. More than two hundred 'ideal members of Phil- adelphia join me in these expressions. 'Oh give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endureth forever.' "We rejoice to say that since the Supreme Master's visits here we have been successful in adding eight Lodges and four Ideal Nurseries with a membership of 260 and many more clubs in convention. May God bless our noble Order. "Yours in Friendship, Love & Peace, "ROSA THOMPSON, "National Lecturer." Mrs. M. E. Holmes delivered a brief, inspiring and an instructive address. The Supreme Master, Mr. A. W. Holmes, also addressed the audience in his usual, winning, characteristic and effective manner. He seemed to have been perfectly at home upon the rostrum and never seemed happier than when he was speaking of the merits of the National Ideal Benefit Society. His address took well with the congregation. Following his address Meadames Lucy E. C. Scott, Hannah Johnson and Beatrice Carter lifted a very large collection for the benefit of the Fifth Street Baptist Church. The Master of Ceremonies then presented to the audience the Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson, Supreme Chapain and pastor of the First Baptist Church to preach the sermon for the occasion. The Doctor responded to the introduction, advanced to the sacred desk, made some timely introductory statements, announced his text and proceeded to preach one of the most profound, instructive and interesting sermons that it has been our pleasure to listen to for a long time. He used as Texts: Numbers 13-30, "And Caleb stilled the people before Moses and said, let us go up at once and punish it for we are well able to overcome it." Nebuchadnei 2-10, "And they said, let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work." From these texts, The Doctor strongly pointed out the fact that there is much land to be possessed; much territory to be covered and still in order to do this work, great work would have to be done. -He also stated that great courage would be needed on the part of the workers as they would go forth in the midst of difficulty to accomplish their mission. He spoke of the necessity of workers making frequent use of prayer and exercising great faith in God. With reference to the latter Text, the Dr. emphasized the necessity of unity in action in order to build a great work and he closed his splendid sermon by dwelling upon three advantages to be derived from unity of action. First: To relieve depression and bring joy and inspiration. Second: To receive mutual sympathy which would relieve mental strain. Third: With unity of action, would discover to us strength. In the Dr.'s closing remarks, he urged the workers and the builders to have true motives in all their work and in all their building; first, to the glory of God and second to the uplift of suffering humanity. When the Dr. closed his sermon, there were many that desired him to continue further for they said, "Never a man spake to us on this matter before." The following poem rendered by Mr. F. L. Bryant carries the Ideal advanced by the various speakers on the above mentioned Thanksgiving occasion with reference to being at peace with one another and with the various fraternal organizations in this city and state and country at large. The atmosphere of the entire Thanksgiving Exercises was wholesome and inspiring and many who had not cast their lot with the National Ideal Benefit Society, went away determined to take advantage of the opportunity given and enroll themselves with the National Ideal Army. Benediction by Rev. Dr. C. H. Phillips. Original Poem as delivered by Mr. F. L. Bryant: Her beauty, we will here adorn; Her banner here unfurl. Hoist every sail to Heaven's breeze, Hall the fraternal world. The Ideal stands for friendship true A friend, to all mankind Search If you will the work of many: A better friend to find A better friend to find A friend in poverty and in wealth; The sick is paid and fed Will not forsake you at the grave; Pays for each member when dead. The Ideal stands for love to all. That love that knows no bound That love which looks to reach all men Whether they be up or down. A love that smiles as other climb Ascend is the Hill of Fame. A love that cheers them on the way. The Ideal is her name. The Ideal stands for peace, sweet peace. Peace in her meetings fair. Peace when we meet and when we part; Peace regneth everywhere. Peace reigneth everywhere. Peace, to the whole fraternal world, Peace to every living man; Her flag supremely, let it wave Peace throughout the land. The Ideal is founded on the rock, Of Friendship, Love and Peace And from its cleft there flows the stream; Of life, hope and relief. The Ideal's Banner, let it wave Her stream of life still flow Till her supreme and peaceful force, Earth all its millions know. Card of Thanks: Mr. and Mrs. Edward J. Price of No. 14 Halton St..

John Mitchell, Jr., President of the Mechanics' Savings Bank of the city has received, peacefully of his election, the title member of the Royal Society of Arts of London, England.

A. was issued to John Mitchell, Jr., Richmond, Va. U. S. A., ten days thereafter. It will be hung in the offices of the recently organized The Anglo-American Finance Corporation. A COLORED VIRGINIAN President Mitchell sent to England one of the booklets of the Mechanics Savings Bank of this city with its improved banking outfit and this is presumed to have awakened the interest in the colored Virginian. It may be also interesting to note that John Mitchell, Jr. is a Virginia product, having been educated in the public schools of this city and having graduated from the former Richmond Normal and High School here. He has never attended any other institution of learning. He was induced to enter the American Bankers' Association by one of the descendants of the F. F. Vs. and his presence in this great financial organization is with the sanction and support of the white financiers of the Mother State. WILL VISIT THE CONTINENT. It is understood that the plans are under way for him to visit the British Isles and the Continent next year. It may be well to state too that this Society embraces in its membership some of the world's most distinguished men. The breadth is universal. Still there are 'not more than about three thousand members on its roster. President John Mitchell, Jr. was recommended in conjunction with Sir Edward Cloutes: Vice-President of the Bank of Montreal. Sir Edward was made a Baronet by royal decree in 1968. THE PLACE OF MEETING.

In loving remembrance of my niece Katie Cunningham Cross, who departed this life December 9, 1911: Thou art gone but not forgotten: We turn our sad, reluctant gaze upon thy vacant chair; Its barren, uninviting place is void of bloom and beauty. We mourn thee not. Though like the flower just opening to the morning ray, Nippet by death's cruel power, Thou fell from love's embrace away. Where falls no darkness of the tomb; Thou probed the loving Saviour's care; And blossomed into immortal bloom. For bark" a voice from yonder sky Prochains thee blest, supremely blest, With three the toll and strife are over. Thy labors end, thy sorrows cease; For thou hast gained the blissful shore. Her Uncle and Aunt, MR. and MRS. A. M. BAKER, Huntington W. Va To the Public. We take this means of thanking the generous public for their part taken in our Thanksgiving Exercise at the Fifth Street Baptist Church last Sunday, 3 P. M. under the auspices of the National Ideal Benefit Society. The occasion was a success from every point of view and we only ask your continued support. A. W. HOLMES, Supreme Master S. W. JOHNSON, Supreme Society Rev. Dr. Brooks Here Rev. Walter H. Brooks, D.

The music during the vaudeville performance was furnished by Messrs. Jordan and Beasley. MAGNIFICENT BANQUET. There were also parlor games and the amusing donkey party.

Richelieu tell misly to go to England and threaten Buckingham unless he ceases to add Rochelle. A Conjugal Scene. As Athos had foreseen, it was not long before the cardinal came down. He found Porthos play an earnest game at dice with Aramis. "What is become of M. Athos?" asked he. "Monseligneur," replied Porthos, "he is gone as a scout upon some words of our host, which made him believe the road was not safe." "Well, will you return now with me?" "We are at your ennüence's orders." The attendant was at the door holding the cardinal's horse by the bridle. Let us leave him to follow the road to the camp protected by his attendant and the two musketeers and return to Athos. For some distance he maintained the pace at which he started, but when out of sight he turned his horse to the right, made a circuit and came back within twenty paces of a high hedge, to watch the passage of the little troop. Having recognized his companions and the cardinals, he waited till they had turned the angle of the road, and having lost sight of them, he returned at a gallop to the inn. The host recognized him. "My officer," said Athos, "has forgotten to give a piece of very important information to the lady." "Go up," said the host. "She is still in her chamber." Milady made one step forward and then drew back as if she had seen a serpent. "So far well!" said Athos, "I perceive you know me." "The Count de la Fere," murmured milady, becoming exceedingly pale. "Yes, infilthead," replied Athos, "the Count de la Fere in person, who comes expressly from the other world to have the pleasure of paying you a visit. Sit down, madame, and let us talk." Milady, under the influence of inexplicable terror, sat down without uttering a word. "You certainly are a demon sent upon the earth!" said Athos. "I thought I had crushed you, madame, but either I was deceived or hell has resuscitated you." Milady, at these words which recalled frightful remembrances, hung down her head with a suppressed groan. She arose. Athos remained sitting. "I wish to tell you that, while remaining invisible to your eyes, I have not lost sight of you." "You know what I have done and been?" "I can relate to you day by day your actions from your entrance into the service of the cardinal to this evening." "A smile of incredulity passed over the pale lips of milady. He recounted to her all he knew of her history, learned from D'Artagnan Pierre "You will this instant deliver to me the paper the cardinal signed." and overheard during her interview with the cardinal. "You must be Satan," cried she. "Perhaps," said Athos. "But at all events listen well to this. Assassinate the Duke of Buckingham or cause him to be assassinated, I care very little about that. But touch a single hair of D'Artagnan, who is a faithful friend, whom I love and defend, and I swear to you by the head of my father the crime which you shall have endowed to commit or shall have committed shall be the last." M. d'Artagnan has crucified me, said milady in a hollow tone. M. d'Artagnan shall die." Athos reached his hand to his belt, drew forth a pistol and cocked it. Milady, pale as a corpse, endeavored to cry out, but her swollen tongue could utter no more than a hoarse sound. Athos slowly raised his pistol, stretched out his arm so that the weapon almost touched mindy's forehead and then in a voice the more terrible from having the supreme calmness of a fixed resolution: "Madame," said he, "you will this instant deliver to me the paper the cardinal signed or upon my soul I will blow your brains out. You have one second to decide." Mindy new by the contraction of his countenance that the trigger was about to be pulled. She reached her hand quickly to her boom, drew out a paper and held it toward Athos. "Take it," said she, "and be accured." Athos took the paper, returned the pistol to his belt, approached the lamp to be assured that it was the paper, unfolded it and read: "It is by my order and for the good of the state that the bearer of this dog what he has done. RICHELLEU. Dec. 2, 1857. "And now," said Athos, resuming his cloak and putting on his hat, "now that I have drawn your teeth, viper, bite if you can." And he left the chamber without once looking behind him. Then he leaped lightly into the saddle and set out at full gallop, intercepting the cardinal and his companions and receiving Richelleu's praise for his watchfulness. The three friends did not exchange a single word till they got to their quarters except to give the watchword to the sentinela. They sent Mousqueton to tell Planchet that his master was requested the instant he left the trenches to come to the quarters of the musketeers. Milady thought it best to preserve silence, to set off discreetly, to accomplish her difficult mission with her usual skill, and then, all things being performed to the satisfaction of the cardinal, to come back and claim her renance. In consequence, after having traveled all night, at 7 o'clock she was at Fort in Pointe, at 8 o'clock she had embarked, and at 9 the vessel, which, with letters of marque from the cardinal, was supposed to be sailing for Hayanne, railed anchor, and arrived its course toward England. . . . On arriving at the lodging of his three friends P.Artagnan found them assembled. "Gentlemen," said he, "I hope what you have to tell me is worth the trouble, or else I warn you I will not pardon you for making me come here instead of getting a little rest after a night spent in taking and dismantling a hastion. Ah, why were you not there, gentlemen? It was warm work." "Aramis," said Athos, "you went to breakfast the day before yesterday at the lan of the Parallot, I believe? I want to know if nobody interrupted you." "Why, I think there were not many intruders. We shall do very comfortably at the Parallot." On their way they met with Grimaud, *athos made him a sign to come with him*. Grimaud, according to custom, obeyed in silence. The poor lad had nearly come to the pass of forgetting how to speak. Unfortunately, the hour was badly chosen for a private conference. Dragons, Swiss guards, musketeers, light horsemen, succeeded each other in the inn. "D'Artagnan," said Athos, "tell us what sort of a night you have had, and we will describe ours afterward." "Ah, yes," said a light horseman with a glass of brandy in his hand, which he swallowed slowly, "ah, yes, I hear you gentlemen of the guards have been in the trenches tonight and that you have taken a bastion." "The bastion Saint Gervais," replied D'Artagnan, "from behind which the Rochelleis annoyed our workmen." "Was the affair hot?" "Yes, moderately so. We lost five men and the Rochelleis eight or ten." "But it is probable," said the light horseman, "that they will send ploerne this morning to reinstate the bastion." "Gentlemen," said Athos, "I have a wager to propose." "We are all attention, M. Athos," said the dragon. "Well. M. de Busigny, I will bet you," said Athos, "that my three companions, MM. Porthos, Aramis and D'Artagnan, and myself will go and breakfast in the bastion Saint Gervais, and we will remain there an hour by the watch whatever the enemy may do to dislodge us." "I take it," said M. de Busigny. "Now let us fix the stake." "Why, you are four, gentlemen," said Athos, "and we are four; a dinner for eight—will that do?" "Capitally," replied M. de Busigny. "The breakfast for these gentlemen is ready," said the host. "Well, bring it in," said Athos. The host obeyed. Athos called Grimaud, pointed to a large basket which lay in a corner and made a sign to him to wrap the vandals up in the napkins. "But where are you going to eat my breakfast?" said the host. "Of what consequence is that to you if you are paid for it?" said Athos, and he throw 2 pistol majestically on to the table. And bowing to all the astonished persons present, the young men took the road to the bastion Saint Gervais, followed by Grimaud, who carried the basket. "We have some very important matters to communicate to each other, and it was impossible to talk five minutes in that inn without being annoyed. Xonder," said Athos, pointing to the bastion, "they will at least not come and disturb us." "But for such an expedition we surely ought to have brought our muskets," said Porthous. "Well," replied Athos, "did not D'Artagan man that in the attack of last night eight or ten Frenchmen were killed and as many Rochellais?" "Well?" "Well, we shall find their muskets, their cartridges and their masks, and instead of four musketeers and twelve bells we shall have fifteen guns and a hundred charges to fire." As Athos had foreseen, the beast was only occupied by a dozen of dead bodies, Friach and Rochellais. As they were loading the last musket, Grimaud announced that the breakfast was ready. He was set to send guard. "And now to table," said Athos. The four friends sat down upon the ground. "And now," said D'Artagan, "as there is no longer a fear of being overheard. I hope you are going to let me into this momentous secret." "The secret is," said Athos, "that I saw milady last night within two leagues of this place at the Red Dove-cote." "In that case I am a lost man," said TP Artman. D'Artagaud, after the battle, said, "But after the battle, who is milled?" "A very chasing woman," said Athen, "who has descended D'Artagaud's hand on embalmed." "What, is descending my head of the cardinal?" D'Artagaud, pale with terror. "Then it is useless to struggle any longer. I may as well blow my brains out. I can never escape with such enemies. First, there is my unknown man of Moong; then De Warders, to whom I have given three wounds; next milady, whose secret I have discovered, and last and worst, the cardinal, whose vengeance I have balked." "Well," said Athos, "that only makes four, and shares four, one for one." "If we may believe the signs Grimaud is making we are about to have to do with a very different number of folks," said Porthos. "What's the matter, Grimaud?" said Athos. "What do you see?" "Five hundred pages." "Good! We have just time to finish this fowl and to drink one glass of wine to your health, D'Artagnan." Then Athos more carelessly, took the musket next to him and drew near to one of the loopholes. Porthos, Aramus and D'Artagnan followed his example. As to Grimaud, he received orders to place himself behind the four friends, in order to reload their weapons. "Well," said Athos, "it was hardly worth while to disturb ourselves for twenty fellows armed with pikeaxes, mattocks and shovels." "They are advancing very resolutely," said D'Artagnan. "Besides, in addition to the pioneers, there are four soldiers and a brigadier armed with muskets." "That's because they don't see us," said Athos. "I must confess I feel a great repugnance to fire on these poor bourgeois," said Aramus. "In truth," said Athos, "Aramis is right. I will warn them." CHAPTER XXXV. ATTIOS mounted on the breach, with his musket in one hand and his hat in the other: "Gentlemen," said he, addressing the soldiers and pioneers, who astonished at its appearance, stopped at fifty pieces from the bastion, and bowing courteously to them; "gentlemen, a few friend and myself are about to breakfast in this bastion. We request you, then, if you really have business here, to wait till we have finished our repost or to come again a short time hence, unless, which would be far better, you form the salutary resolution to quit the side of the rebels and come and drink with us to the health of the king of France." Four shots were fired, and the balls were flattened against the wall round Athos, but not one bit him. Four shots replied to them almost instantaneously, but much better aimed than those of the aggressors. Three soldiers fell dead, and one of the pioneers wounded. The rest of the troop took to flight. "Reload the muskets, Grimard," said Athos, "and we, gentlemen, will go on with our breakfast and resume our conversation. Where were we?" "You were saying," said D'Arignan, "that after having demanded my head of the cardinal midday had left the shores of France. Where is she going to be loaded he, considerably interested in the literary midday followed." "She is going into England," said Athos. "With what view?" "With the view of assassinating or causing to be assassinated the Duke of Buckingham." D'Artagnan uttered an exclamation of surprise and astonishment. "But this is infamous," cried he. "As to that," said Athos, "I beg you to believe that I care very little about it. This woman extorted from the cardinal a kind of signed carte blanche, and by means of it she could with impunity get rid of you and perhaps of us" went on Athos. "Here it is," said Athos. D'Artagnan unfolded it and read: "It is by no order and for the good of the stage that the bearer of this has done what he has done RICHELIEU. Dec. 3, 1527." "In fact," said Aramis, "it is an ab-solution in all its forms." "That paper must be torn to pieces," said D'Artagnan, who fancied he read in his sentence of death. "On the contrary," said Athos, "it must be preserved carefully. I would M. "I just can think, and I understand, "What in it?" said the indifference, "Do you?" cried Grimble. The young man sprang up and shout their demands. This time a small troop advanced, consisting of from twenty to five and twenty men. But they were no longer pioneers—they were soldiers of the carriage. "Whall we return to the camp?" said Perthus. "I don't think the sides are equal." "I impossible for three reasons," replied Athos. "The first is we have not hatched breakfast, the second, we have still some very important things to talk about, and the third, it yet wants ten minutes before the hour will be elapsed. As soon as the enemy are within muket shot we must fire upon them. If they continue to advance we must fire again. We fire as long as we have loaded guns. If such as then remain of the troop persists in coming to the assault we will allow the belegers to go into the ditch, and then we will push, down upon their heads that strip of wall which seems only to keep its perpendicular by a miracle." "Bravol" cried. Portbox. Then the shots were repeated without regularity, but always aimed with the same correctness. Nevertheless the Rochhella continued to advance, although upon every three shots at least two man fell. When arrived at the foot of the baition there was still more than a dozen of the enemy. A last, discharge welcomed them, but did not stop them. They jumped into the ditch and prepared to scale the breach. "Now, my friends," said Athos, "finish them at a blow. To the wall! To the wall!" And the four friends, seconded by Grimsaud, pushed with the barrels of their muskets an enormous sheet of the wall, which bent over as if acted upon by the wind, and, becoming detached from its base, fell with a horrible crush into the ditch. Then a fearful cry was heard, a cloud of dust mounted toward heaven and all was over. "Can we have destroyed them all?" said Athos. "No." cried Porthes; "there go three or four." In fact, three or four of these unfortunate men, covered with dirt and blood, were flying along the hollow way and at length retained the city. These all that were left of the little troop. Athes looked at his watch. "Gentlemen," said he, "we have been here an hour, and our wagon is wont. Now for my idea. This milady—this woman—this creature—this demon, has a brother-in-law, Lord de Winter, in London. Well, that's just the man we want. We will have him informed that his sister-in-law is on the point of having some one assassinated, and we, beg of him not to lose sight of her. He must place his slater in an institution; and we shall be in peace." "But I think it would be still better," said Aramis, "to inform the queen and M. de Winter at the same time." "Yes, but who is to carry the letter to Tours and who to London? We can not leave the camp without being suspected." "I answer for Batin," said Aramis. "And I for Planchet," said D'Artagnan. "This very day we will write the letters," sahi Aramis; "give them money and get them forward." "We will give them money?" replied Athos. "Have you any money, then?" "I will send the diamond which the queen gave me. Quick, quick!" cried D'Artagnan. "I see black points and red points moving yonder! It is an army!" "Yes," said Athos, "there they are. Think of the snunks coming without beat of drum or sound of trumpet! Let me decamp." Grimaud went on before with the basket, and the four friends followed at about ten paces behind him. Aramis marched majestically and his companions regulated their pace by his. At the end of an instant a furious firing was heard. The Rochellas had at last taken possession of the bastion. As the friends approached the whole camp was in motion. More than 2,000 persons had assisted, as at a spectacle, at this fortunate but wild undertaking of the four friends, an undertaking of which they were far from suspecting the real motive. That same evening the cardinal spoke to M. de Treville of the expedition of the morning, which was the talk of the whole camp. M. de Treville, who had received the account of the adventure from the mouths of the heroes of it, related it in all its details to his enmine. The latter, as a reward to D'Artagnan, transferred him to the musketeers. D'Artagnan was beside himself with joy. We know that the dream of his life had become to a musketeer. The three friends were likewise greatly delighted. That evening D'Artagnan went to present his compliments to M. Désart and inform him of his promotion. He begged him to have the diamond he put into his hand valued, as he wished to turn it into money. The next day by 2 o'clock M. Descartes' valet came to D'Artagnan's lodging and gave him a bag containing 7,000 brus. This was the price of the queen's diamond. In the evening at Athos' lodgings the four friends met. There only remained three things to be decided upon—what they should write to milady's brother, what they should write to the clever person at Tours and which should be the incursions to carry the letters. They decided Aramis should write the letters. Punchest to carry one to De Wintz, the other to Town. Aramis took the pen, referred for a few minutes, wrote eight or ten lines, then read the following to De Wintz. Mirror. The poem who writes these lines had the honor of receiving every poem. As you have learned these lines Miss Bessie brought the proof of the death of her predeceased by passing my late niece, Miss Jane. When you have never been the victim of a crime, you have never been the victim of a crime. In no way have been pains you are inflicted that pains you sustained a surprise in England she was already dripped in Prison. But the thing that weighs in on her is the fact that she is an invaluable for England during the night. When her arrival, for she has great and terrible problems. If you require to know positively what she is capable of read her past history, open her left shoulder. Arunia removed his pen, reflected a little and wrote the following lines, which he immediately submitted to the approval of his friends: My Dear Cousin—His magnificent the criminal, whom God preserve for the happiest of the kingdom, is on the point of putting an end to the heroic rebellion of La Rochaille. It is probable that the succor of the English foot will never ever venture to say that I am certain M. de Boorkhagh, will be prevented from setting out by some great event. His en- marco is the most frustrious politician of these past, of these present and probably of them to some. He would extinguish the sun if the sun incommoded him. Give these happy things to your sister, my dear cousin. I have dreamed that that man would not reject whether it was by steel or by poison. Only of this I am sure. I have dreamed he was dead, and you know my dreams never deceive me. I be assured, then, of seeing me soon return. "Capital!" cried Athos. There is nothing now to do but to put the address to this letter. "That's soon done," said Aramis, and wrote: "To Mila. Michon, seamstress, Torra." The three friends looked at one another and laughed. They were caught. "Let us see," said Athos. "Planchet must receive 700 livres for going and 700 livres for coming back and Basin 300 livres for going and 300 livres for returning. That will reduce the sum to 5,000 livres. We will each take 1,000 livres to be employed as seems good to each, and we will leave a fund of 1,000 livres under the guarantialship of M. L'abbe here for extraordinary occasions or common wants." It was no agreed. Planchet was sent for and instructions were given him. "Now," continued D'Artagnan, addressing Planchet, "you have eight days to get an interview with Lord de Winter, you have eight days to return in, in all sixteen days. If on the sixteenth day after your departure at 8 o'clock in the evening you are not here no money, even if it be but five minutes past 8." In the morning, as Planchet was mounting on horseback, D'Artagnan, who felt at the bottom of his heart a partiality for the duke, took him aside. "Listen," said he to him; "when you have given the letter to Lord De winter and he has read it, you will further say to him, 'Watch over his grace, Lord Buckingham, for they wish to amanimate him.'" "Be satisfied, monsieur," said Planchet, "you shall see whether confidence can be placed in me or not." And, mounted on an excellent horse which he was to leave at the end of twenty leagues to take the post, Planchet set off at a gallop. Bazin set out the next day for Tours and was allowed eight days to perform his commission in. On the morning of the eighth day, Bazin, fresh as ever and smiling according to custom, entered the尔帕什佩 as the four friends were sitting down to breakfast, saying, as had been agreed upon: "M. Aramis, here is the answer from your cousin." The letter read: My Cousin--My sister and I are skillful in interpreting dreams and even entertain great fear of them, but of yours it may illusion. Adout! Take of yours an illusion. Adout! Take of yours an illusion. Act that we may from time to time hear you spoken of. MARIE MICHON. Bazin had not, by his fortune returti, removed more than a part of the uneasiness which weighed upon the four friends. The days of expectation are long, and D'Artagnan, in particular, would have wagered that the days were forty-four hours long. On the sixteenth day D'Artagnan and his friends could not remain quiet long in one place, and in the evening they wandered about like ghosts on the road by which Planchet was expected. But all at once a shadow appeared in the darkness, the outline of which was Pierre D'Artagnan With a Trembling Hand Broke the Seal and read the Letter. familiar to D'Artagnan, and a well known voice said: "Monteur, I have brought your cloak. It is chilly this evening." As the same time D'Artagnan felt that Fanchet stipped a note into his hand. "I have a note," said he to Afheen and his friend. "That's well," said Afheen. "Let us be home and need it." The best time of the Autumn season is in late autumn and winter. Prepare your these seasons with the best dinner meals by preparing DAS Autumns with a baking dish based on the real and natural ingredients. He obtained half a line in a hand possibly British and of a occitance as perfectly Spartan: Thank you; to care. Alas took the letter from the hands of D'Artagan, drew near to the lamp, set fire to the paper and did not leave half of it till it was reduced to簿. IN the meantime mildy, drunk with passion, had been tempted to throw herself into the sea that she might regain the coast, for she could not get rid of the idea that she had been insulted by D'Arbagnan and threatened by Athos and had left France without having her revenge. Nine days after leaving the Charente, pale with fatigue and vexation, milady saw only the blue coast of Finisterre appear. On the very day that Panchett embarked at Portsmouth for France the messenger of his eminence entered the port. All the city was agitated by an extraordinary movement—four large vessels, recently built, had just been launched. Standing on the jetty, his clothes. richly laced with gold, glittering, as was customary with him, with diamonds and precious stones, his hat ornamented with a white feather which dropped upon his shoulder, Buckingham was seen surrounded by a staff almost as brilliant as himself. Milady's ship entered the road, but as they drew near in order to cast anchor a little cutter, formidably armed, in appearance a coast guard, approached the merchant vessel and dropping its boat into the sea the latter directed its course to the ladder. This boat contained an officer, a mate and eight rowers. The officer alone got on board, where he was received with all the deference inspired by the uniform. He then went up to the captain, again said a few words to him, and, as if from that moment the vessel was under his command, he ordered a maneuver, which the crew executed immediately. Then the vessel resumed its course, still escorted by the little cutter, which sailed side by side with it, menacing it with the months of its six cannon. The boat followed in the wake of the ship, a speck near the enormous mass. The officer who had stopped before milady might have been about twenty-five or twenty-six years of age. When they entered the port it was already night. The officer desired to have milindy's packages pointed out to him and ordered them to be placed in the boat. When this operation was completed he invited her to descend by her his hand. Allily looked at this man and hesitated. "Who are you, sir," asked she, "who have the kindness to occupy yourself so particularly on my account?" "You may perceive, madame, by my uniform, that I am an officer in the English navy," replied the young man. "But is it the custom for the officers in the English navy to place themselves at the service of their female compatriots, when they land in a port of Great Britain, and carry their galantry so far as to conduct them ashore?" "Yes, mildly, it is the custom, not from gallantry, but prudence, that in time of war travelers are conducted to particular hotels in order that they may remain under the surveillance of the government until perfect information be obtained relative to them." At the expiration of five minutes they gleaned the land. The officer sprang out of the boat and offered his hand to miliady. A carriage was in waiting. "Is this carriage for us?" asked miliady. "Yes, madame," replied the officer. "Very well," said miliady. And she got resolutely into the carriage. The officer saw that the baggage was fastened carefully behind the carriage, and this operation being performed, he took his place beside miliady, and the carriage moved. At the end of a quarter of an hour, however, surprised at the length of the journey, she leaned forward toward the window to see whither she was being conducted. Houses were no longer to be seen. Trees appeared in the darkness like great black phantoms running after one another. "I beg you you to understand, sir, I will go no further unless you tell me whither or you are taking me." This threat obtained no reply. "Oh, but this is outrageous!" cried milady. "Help, help, help!" No voice replied to hers. The carriage continued to roll on with rapidity. The officer appeared a statue. Milady resected herself, foaming with rage. The officer leaned forward, looked at her in his turn and appeared surprised to see that face but just before so beautiful distorted with passion and become almost hideous. The artificial creature at once comprehended that she was injuring herself by allowing him thus to read her soul. She collected her features and in a complaining voice said: "In the name of heaven, sir, tell me if it is to you, if it is to your government, if it is to an enemy I am to attribute the violenced that is done me!" "No violence will be offered to you, madame, and what happens to you is the result of a very simple measure which we are obliged to adopt with all who land in England." At length, after a journey of near au hour, the carriage stopped before an iron gate, which inclosed an avenue leading to a cattle severe in form, massive and isolated. Then, as the wheels rolled over a fine gravel, mildy could hear a vast roaring, which she at once recognized as the note of the sea shuffling against some group const. The carriage pitted under two mechanical gears and at length stopped in a large dark, square const. After climbing with mildly the other grow from the left a little stronger whistle. He whistled three times. Suspended heavily over his head, they were shaken. ```markdown ``` the smoking horses and put the carriage into a coach house. The officer then with calm politeness invited the indy, to enter the house. She took his arm and passed with him under a low arched door, which by a vaulted passage, lighted only at the farther end, led to a stone courtyard, turning round an angle of stone. They then came to an massive door, which after the introduction of a key into the lock by the young officer turned heavily upon its hinges and disclosed the chamber destined for milday. It was a chamber whose furniture was at once proper for a prisoner or a free man, and yet bare at the windows and outside bolts at the door decided the question in favor of the prison. A man appeared in the opening. He was without a hat, wore a sword and carried a sandkriecher in his hand. Lady in businessy "wow back!" "What, my brother," she cried in a state of stupor, "is it your?" "Yes, fair lady," repiled. Lord de Winter. "But this castle, then?" "Is mine." "I am your prisoner, then?" During the time that Lord do Winter took to sit the door, close a shutter and draw a chair near his sister-in-law's armchair, calmly, anxiously thought- P. B. B. "Come, come," said he, "I know, you are accustomed to, as assimilate people," ful, plunged her glance into the depths of possibility. She feared that her preceding operations in England might have been discovered. This supposition appeared to her the most reasonable. It seemed that they wanted to revenge the past and not to go to meet the future. At all events, she congratulated herself upon having fallen into the hands of her brother-in-law, with whom she reckoned she could deal very easily. "You were, then, determined to come to England again? Why?" said Lord de Winter. "Come for? Why, to see you," replied milady. "What tenderness, my sister." "Why, am I not your nearest relation?" demanded millady, with a tone of the most touching ingenuousness. "And my only heir, are you not?" said Lord do Winter in his top, fixing his eyes on those of millady. "I do not comprehend, my lord," said she, to gain time and make her adversary speak out. "What do you mean to say? Is there any secret meaning concealed beneath your words?" "I think it astonishing that you should be awake of my coming." "Am I then to remain here eternally? demanded mildy, with terror. "Do you find yourself ill lodged, sister? Tell me on what footing your household has established by your first husband, and, although I am only your brother-in-law, I will arrange it upon a similar one." "My first husband?" cried, mildly, looking at Lord Winter with eyes almost starting from their sockets. "You are joking." "Do I look as if I were?" asked the baron, rising and going a step backward. "Or rather you insult me," continued she. "Leave the room, sir, and send me a woman." "Women are very indiscreet, sister. Cannot I serve you as a waiting maid? By that means all our secrets would be kept in the family." "Inoulent wretch!" cried malice, and, as if acted upon by a spring, the rush toward the baron, who awaited her attack with his arms crossed, but one hand, upon the hilt of his sword. "Come, come," said he. "I know you are accustomed to aggrigate people, but I shall defend myself." "No doubt, you would," said she. "You have all the appearance of being toward court to lift your hand "Perhaps I have, and I have an excuse, for mine would not be the first mature hand that has been placed upon you, I imagine." "And the baron pointed with a slow and accusing gesture to the left shoulder of milady, which he almost touched with his finger. Milady uttered a deep inward shriek and retreated to a corner of the room Like a panther which draws back to take its spring. "Oh, groan and shriek as much as you please," cried Lord de Winter, "but don't try to bite, for I warn you the thing would be to your prejudice. I have judges quite ready who will quickly dispose of a woman so shameless as, although already married, to come and marry my brother. "Yes, I can very well understand that, after having inherited the fortune of my brother, it would be very agreeable to you to be ♡ beir like-wise, but know beforehand if you kill me or cause me to be killed my precautions are taken. Not a penny of what I possess will pass into your hands. But you must endure your captivity quietly. In fifteen or twenty days I shall set out for La Rochaille with the army, but before my departure a vessel, which I will see sail, will take you benco and convey you to our colonies of the south. And be assured that you shall be accompanied by one who will blow your brains out at the first attempt you may make to return to England or to the continent." Milady listened with an attention that dilated her infamed eyes. "Yes, it present," continued Lord de Winter, "you will remain in this castle. The walls of it are thick, the doors strong and the bars solid, besides which your window opens immediately over the sea. "The officer who commands here in my absence you have already seen and therefore know him. I give you leave to try your seductions upon this man. If you succeed with him I pronounce you the devil himself." He went, toward the door and called. The young officer entered. "Now," said the baron, "look at this woman. She is young, she is beautiful, she possesses all earthly seductions. Well, she is a monaster. She will endeavor to seduce you. Perhaps she will endeavor to kill you. I have extricated you from misery. This woman is come back again into England for the purpose of compiling against my life. I hold this serpent in my power. Well, I call upon you and say to you: Friend Felton, John, my child, guard me, and more particularly guard yourself against this woman. John Felton, I put faith in thy loyalty." "My lord," said the young officer, summoning to his mild countenance all the hatred he could find in his heart; "my lord, I swear all shall be done as you desire." "She is not to leave this chamber, understand, John. She is not to correspond with any one, she is to speak to no one but you—if you will do her the honor to address a word to her. And now, madame, try to make your peace with God, for you are adjudged by men" Midday let her head sink as if crushed by this sentence. Lord de Winter went out, making a sign to Felton, who followed him, shutting the door after him and leaving milady to her reflections. In the meanwhile the cardinal looked anxiously for news from England, but no news arrived. La Rochelle still held out, but it was known the Rochelle's had no hope but in Buckingham. The cardinal looked, then, with great impatience for the news from England which would announce to him that Buckingham would not come. The question of carrying the city by assault, though often debated in the council of the king, had been always rejected. But an inhabitant of Rochelle who had contrived to pass the royal lines entered the city, coming from Portsmouth, and said he had seen a magnificent fleet ready to sail within a week. This unexpected circumstance brought back Richelleen's former inquietudes and forced him in spite of himself once more to turn his eyes to the other side of the sea. During this time the royal army led a joyous life, neither provisions nor money being wanting in the camp. All the corps rivaled one another in gayety. One day Aramis received from "his cousin" a letter, which he read to his three friends. It said: My Dear Cousin—I think I shall make up my mind to set out for Stanley, where my sister has placed our little servant in the convent of the Carmelites. This poor child is quite resigned, as she knows she cannot live elsewhere without the salvation of Jesus. In fact, meanwhile she is not very wretched. What she most desires is a letter from her intended. I know that such sort of provisions pass with difficulty through convent gratitude; but, after all, as I have given you proof, my dear cousin, I am not unstilled in such affairs, and I will take charge of the commission. My sister thanks you for your good and eternal recompense, and I am indebted inquired, but she is now at length a little resourced, having sent her secretary yender in order that nothing may happen unexpectedly. Adieu, my dear cousin! Let us hear from you as often as you can—that is to say, as often as you can with safety. I embrace you. MARIS MICHON. "Oh, what do I not owe you, Arnaud?" said D'Artagnan. "Where is Stanley, Athena?" "Why, a few leagues from the frontiers of Alance, in Lerrine. The siege once over, we shall be able to make a tour in that direction." Censored. "The carries her age well." "Yes. She carries her age the same way she carries her money?" "How is that?" "Carefully concealed." — Birmingham Am. Herald.

BOWSER'S HENS. He Almost Trades His House For a Chicken Farm. And After Much Discussion the Happy Family Decide to Settle Their Differences In the Diverse Court—Mr. Bowser Remenges. B. M. QUAD. [Copyright, 1914 by Associated Literary Press] * W AS there a farmer named Cavendish here this afternoon to look over the "WAS there a farmer named Carvendish here this afternoon to look over the house?" asked Mr. Bowser when he came home to dinner. "Why, I saw a man peeking and peering from the outside, but he didn't come in," replied Mrs. Bowser. "Perhaps he hadn't the time to see the interior." "Was Mr. Cavendish thinking of building a house like ours?" "I hardly think so." "Just wanted to peek and peer, eh?" "Perhaps." When Mr. Bowser got ready to explain why Farmer Cavendish was annooping around the neighborhood he would do so, but not until them, and it was no use to ask questions. It was half an hour after dinner when he said: "Mrs. Bowser, on one or two occasions we have discussed the subject of starting a chicken farm." "Yes; I remember." "I had a chance to,make a small for tune, but you discouraged me." "I simply showed you why you could not make a dollar." "You mean you juggled figures on me, while I was dead right in mine." BROOKLYN "I SAW A MAN FEHRING ABOUND." have about made an exchange with Farmer Cavendish. He takes this house, and I take his farm." "And you start your chicken farm?" "Exactly." "When do we go?" "Not until next spring. That will give me lots of time to read up on poultry." "Well, I'm not going to say a word to discourage you." Bowser's Bargain. "You couldn't if you tried. I have been over the figures time and again, and I know just what I can do with poultry: I have also had a banker verify my figures. I can make thousands of dollars a year right off the reel." "That will be nice. You have the figures with you, I suppose." "I have." "Well, you have the name of being a very shrouded man, and I am glad to hear that you feel you have at last struck a big thing. The outdoor life will be a great thing for you. Will you let me look over your figures?" "You want to pick them to pieces, as you did before." "But how can any one pick a bank or figures to pieces?" "That's so—that's so," said Mr. Bowser, with a sigh of relief. "Well, here they are, and you can look them over." After about five minutes' study Mrs Bowser asked: "What does Mr. Cavendish leave on the farm?" "Why, nothing at all," was the reply. "Not even a pig nor a farm implement?" "I-I guess not. You see, I'm going to make a chicken farm of it and why should he leave anything?" "You will have to have at least one home, won't you?" "Oh, certainly." "And a cow and a pig?" "Yes." "Are you going to buy all the feed for them and your hens to boot or raise it?" "Take it, of course," replied Mr Bowser, looking a little startled. "Then you must have a plow, a drag, hoes, abroves, needs, rakes and a hired man. If you simply buy what is eaten it is going to cost a lot of money." "There you go, finding fault already." "It's simply a matter of business. There is an outlay to be figured on here. It involves several hundred dollars a year. You must see that." Opposition. "I see that you are opposing me, as I knew you would!" "No opposition at all. Mr. Bowser I see you propose to start out with 200 hens!" "I do, and I figure on 180 eggs a day." "If you get ten dozen a day it will be a big average. Very few heats lay every day. You can put your incomes at $2.50 a day for a long time." "Why, brothers will bring me in at least $10 a day," he shouted. "I see, you are going in for incubators. Just count on raising half the chickens hatched, and it takes weeks and weeks for a chick to become a broiler. Meanwhile you can figure on the eggs taking off about a fifth of your 200 hens."

What are you going to do about 'em? You'll have to have a carpenter at work for many days." "Hear her go on! Just hear her!" "You can't possibly attend to the many things connected with poultry raising, but must hire a boy at least. Have you figured on his wages and board?" Mr. Bowser could not utter a word in reply. "You must have a one horse wagon to drive to and from the market. What will such a vehicle cost? How far did you say the Cavendish farm is from a shipping point?" "Four hundred million miles." shrieked the chicken man in his agony. "I see," said Mrs. Bower, in the same calm and even way, "that you figure on buying 200 bens at 25 cents each. Please tell me who has bens to part with at that price. You'll be lucky to get the scrubblest kind at that figure. The farmer can kill them and get double the money. Good layers will cost you at least 75 cents each." The Family Jar "I'm sorry if you think so, but it seems we ought to figure close on an enterprise like this.

It's all right, however, I'm tired of city life and shall hall the change. It will also be a great thing for your backaches and shivers. And think of us standing together in our back door of a morning and seeing the sun rise! Why, that alone will be worth"— "Woman," interrupted Mr. Bowser in tense tones, "you have a lawyer?" "Yes." "So have I." "Yes." "They can get together and plan for a divorce without publicity." "But why not have publicity—lots of publicity?" she asked. "If you are going to start a hen farm you want all the advertising you can get. It will be worth $500 to your scheme to have the papers come out with: 'We understand that Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Bowser have sought the divorce court because they could not agree as to how many eggs a speckled hen should lay in a week, working only union hours. Any banker in the country could have given them the exact number.'" Mr. Bowser choked and gasped and swallowed, but the English language went back on him, and he walked down the hall and out of the house. Where he went no one knows, but he came sneaking in at midnight, and ten minutes after he struck the bed he was muttering in his sleep: "Two hundred hens! "Five hundred brothers!

"It may be lucky enough, but there's one thing that makes me mighty sore whenever I think of it." "What's that?"

"POKE lights are very hard to manipulate," said young Blinkins. "They are made that way on purpose. They can like this: 1 2 3 4 5 0 0 0 0 0 "You would naturally think that, beginning on the left, No. 1 would light the porch, No. 2 the parlor, No. 3 the dining room, No. 4 the bathroom and No. 5 the bedroom. But that is not the way it works. "The very first one is for the bathroom, No. 2 is the porch light, No. 5 lights the parlor, No. 4 lights the bedroom and No. 5 lights the dining room. "One evening last summer I wanted to go downstairs and get a drink of water. All the lights were out because it was so warm and for other reasons. Uncle Billy was taking a bath in the dark because it was too warm to pull down the shade. I did not want any light because I had retired and was just smoking down in my pajamas to get a drink of water. No shades were down anywhere, and the families of the entire neighborhood were out on their respective porches. "Anna and the young man to whom she is engaged were sitting on the front steps. They didn't want any light. "What I wanted to do was to light up the dining room for just a minute, so that I would get light enough in the hall to avoid the place where I knew I must stub my toe at the turn of the stairs. I poked a peg, and there were no results that I could see. "I poked again. This act was followed by a scream. There was also applause from across the street and then there came catcalls and such expressions as "Oh, you Romeo and Juliet." There was also a commotion on the front steps. "I quickly poked again. This time there was a glaring light all around me, and I was the recipient of cheers. I hastened to relieve myself from the embarrassing prominence. Then I tried another light. "This time I capped the climax. A splash was heard in the bathroom and the stentorian tones of Uncle Billy came through the night: 'High, there! Turn off the light! Quick!' I had attracted the attention of the neighborhood to Uncle Billy." Generally "How much does your wife pay for her hats?" "Too much!" D. J.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1912. The outlook for the colored folks is unusually good. The mundy-market is tight. Some folks ascribe it to political conditions and others say, it has nothing to do with it. --- The illness of Dr. William D. Crum of South Carolina has caused universal regret. As Minister to Liberia, he had attracted the attention of the civilized world. The African fever is deadly and he is fortunate indeed to have reached his native land alive. The Times-Democrat of New Orle- ning, La. In its issue of the 29th issue, gave in full the very able sermon of Rev. Henderson H. Dunn, master of the Central Congregational Church on "Our Basis of Gratitude." He is about to remodel his church at a cost of $7,000. Bishop Alexander Walters' troubles have begun. Candidates are working him instead of President-elect Wilson and his life is being made miserable. His usual smile may finally be succeeded by a frown. As for Dr. Booker T. Washington, he is no longer in the political limelight and politicians, who once sought him, now seek him no more. In one sense at least, he should be happy. --- ANOTHER GUFREME COURT DECISION. The Supreme Court of the United States has declared invalid and without force and effect the building line ordinance, which has been so rigorously enforced in this city. The ground upon which this opinion is based is the concession of property without due process of law. We have always been of the opinion that the building line law was unconstitutional. It will be remembered that when the Mechanics' Savings Bank building was about to be erected on the Northwest corner of Third and Clay Bld. in this city, certain prejudiced property owners endured to prevent the creation of the structure by having the Committee on Streets of Richmond City Council restrain us from doing. Thanks to the fairness of the better element of white gentlemen, the matter was laid on the table, where it is still "sleeping." We secured the permit and the palatial structure which has recently weathered the financial storm was the result. But it is with reference to the segregation ordinance that we wish specifically to comment. The principle involved is the same and this decision seems to foreshadow the annulment of this pernicious piece of municipal legislation. It is evident that this ordinance is the virtual and actual confiscation of property without due process of law. Gradually, the dawn now observable and the era of pernicious legislation is being checked by a return to reason. Thinking, men can readily perceive the danger and will observe with satisfaction the return to law and reason. The fundamental rights of a citizen must be protected and the tribunals established for the purpose must protect the minority in their vested rights and law must emerge supreme as a result of the conflict. Do You Know Him? I am very anxious to locate my brother, William Hill. When last heard of he was living with my father William Hill, who died at 1299 N. 32nd St., Richmond, N.

MARY FRANCES GORDON, 49 W. 57th St., Care of Mrs. Lockwood, New York, N. Y. FARMVILLE (VA.) NEWS Farmville, Va., Dec. 2, --Mr. "Rambler" who has been moving around in this community for some time looking after the condition of our people has been alert for some unpleasant things. We are afraid that he is some what unpleasant because there are some in this section who do not want the true condition of things exposed. We truly hope that, Mr. "Rambler" will not weaken, but will continue to pursue his course until a sentiment is created in this entire vicinity favoring the uplift of our people. "We can assure Mr. "Rambler" there are a large number of good citizens in this community who are in full sympathy with him and the cause he espouses." For anyone as a leader to come forward in this day to battle against the cells into which our people are rapidly drifting, be like unto a man standing upon red hot coals, with bare feet, must expect much pain. Some one must be offered as a sacrifice and let his grave be marked with an epigraph of heroism and like the Apostles of old, for their blood, if necessary, be a witness to the gravity of the way of life in which a people must live and walk to be a great nation. Rev R. G. Adams who has been on vacation for thirty days has returned and filled his pupil on Sunday morning. He not many church peers and resolved many compliments on his appearance showing that Dr. L. B. Twisby and others deserve much credit for taking care of him while in the great city of New York. Dr. Twisby and his family made it so pleasant for him while there, he and they seem to regret the coming of the time to separate. The Dr. realized in his annual rally eleven or twelve hundred dollars. The next pastor he visited by invitation, N. Y. William Moss of Brooklyn, N. Y. This notice and congregation were conducting a revival meeting. Rev Mays preached for him two terms, with five conversions. Dr. Moses is pastoring an ideal, people and a Christian Church have been trained forty-six years under the late Dr. Dixon. He also preached for the man who has done more Church work among our people than any man in the great city. Dr. G. H. Slims of Union Baptist Church. Sixty-third Street. In his annual rally he was satisfied with fifteen hundred dollars. Dr. W. P. Hayes of the historic Mt. Olivet Baptist Church of Sixty-third Street is fitted for the place and is doing much good in that church and city. His character as a Christian gentleman, a profound preacher of the gospel of Christ is not questioned. The next pastor visited was Dr. Brown of the Day Star Baptist Church 152th Street. This is another man who is doing a good work. He has a splendid Church house and a fine congregation. The flow, thinks that Dr. Twisley and his people will be compelled to build in the near future. The people are packing in each service like beds in a hive and many are turned away. I see from the papers of New York that Dr. C. T. Walker of Augusta, Ga., was billed to lecture for the benefit of the Mercy Seat Baptist Church, Dr. Epps, pastor in the Young's Casino. There is no man from the South the people of New York flock to hear like they do to Dr. Walker. It was learned that the Dr. was very ill and could not be present. After an arduous persuasion on the part of Dr. Twisby and Sims at the request of Dr. Epps, Rev. Adams decided to speak upon this occasion. It was admitted that from the rostrum through the entire audience they lost sight on Dr. Walker and the speaker swept them away with his cratery and stubborn facts. He now has a standing engagement to return in the near future and deliver the same or another lecture. This is no uncertain sound in the ears of the people concerning many sons of Virginia who are profound preachers and born orators. Quite a large crowd enjoyed the Thanksgiving service and concert at the Methodist Church last Thursday evening under the direction of Messrs. Kelly Norris and J. Johnson. The concert was grand and was followed by an old fashion supper at the Odd Follows Hall. Both were largely attended. Miss Annie Thom was Carter as organist thrilled the audience with sweetest music. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Mason and little son have moved into their new home, which was recently completed near Leesburg. The marriage of Miss Jeanette Robinson and Mr. Robert Walker, Jr. took place in Washington, November 26th. Mr. and Mrs. Mason, Mr. William Valentine and Mr. Robert Randolph attended an elaborate supper given by Mr. B. Johnson of Glendoville. Thanksgiving.

Some have been present only 12 classes in the two months. The terms are so very short, parents should try to take advantage of every day if possible. The first snow of the season reached us on Thanksgiving so we had an extra blessing to be thankful for. Mrs. Clara Davis is yet on the sick list, but is improving. Antioch pulpit was filled Sunday by Rev. T. J. Wilson of Suffolk. Va. Rev Wilson was at his best Sunday and preached two most excellent sermons. His themes in the morning was "The joke of Christ" and night "Prepare to meet thy God." Rev Wilson is well known in Richmond and is a master of no mean ability. Reporter. HAS NARROW ESCAPE. Lewis Ducks When Graham Shoots at Him With Shotgun. Because Peyton Lewis, colored, it was said, interfered in a financial matter of his, Patrick Graham, also colored, attempted to shoot him with a shotgun yesterday afternoon. Graham is said to have been talking with a friend about a debt when Lewis butted in. Later, Graham is said to have sent for Lewis to come to his store, 1801 Moore street; that he wanted, to see him on a "matter of business." When Lewis went to Graham's place he found that the "business" was a shotgun, which Graham raised to his shoulder. Lewis ducked instead of running, and a load of buckshot whizzed, over his head. Seeing that he had missed his mark Graham beat a hasty retreat and could not be found when Mounted Officer Krug arrived. The latter sore out a warrant for his arrest: —Times-Dispatch. 2. 1912. Chicago, Ill., Dec. 4. —Just before starring on his automobile honeymoon trip with his white wife to day, Jack Johnson announced that his wedding gift to his bride would be a racing car along the latest and strongest and swiftest lines. His, young bride smiled and raa up and kissed her dusky mote in thanks for the problem. The girl were in heavy snow. She was expected to be away for several days. They refused to tell where their trip would lead them, but Johnson said they would rumble through the State, "going wherever the roads were best." Foreign Education Note. A chair in social hygiene has been established in the University at Munich, Germany. At the Ghent world's exposition in 1913 there will be a number of international congresses, including one of teachers of domestic science and one of women engaged in farming, the latter in connection with a general congress of agriculturalists. There is an "Oriental Institute" for languages at Naples, Italy, with an attendance of 460. Seventy-eight students are taking Arabic; 16 Turkish; 32 Peralan; 68 Amharic (the court language of Abbasiyla); 55 Chinese; 63 Modern Greek; 81 Albanian; and 80 Japanese. Some of the students pursue two or more of these languages concurrently. Ancient farm-houses have been gathered from all parts of Denmark and placed in the grounds of the famous Danish National Museum at Lyngby, with a view to educating the people in their national history. There are galleries filled with old and antique coaches, hearses that belong to different guilds, with their funeral trappings, and other interesting roles of the past. Boys appear to be slightly healthier than girls in Japan, but the girls have better eyesight. According to official reports covering medical inspection of nearly 2,000,000 children in the public elementary schools, 45.7 per cent of the boys had strong公民性 47.4 per cent medium公民性 42.2 per cent of the girls, 42.7 per cent had poor公民性, 51.2 per cent medium, and 6.1 per cent weak. Another test was on strength of the spinal column. 95.1 per cent of the boys had a perfect spinal column and 4.9 per cent defective; 94.2 per cent of the girls were perfect in this respect and 5.9 per cent defective. In eyesight, on the contrary, only 86.9 per cent of the boys were normal, as compared with 90.3 per cent of the girls. Holland affords a good example of public-school progress in the imperial master of attendance. In 1890 about 1 in every child did not receive instruction; in 1894 the number had gone down to 2 in every thousand; in 1908 it was 1 to a thousand; and more recently the inspector at Nijmegen was able to announce that there were no children of 15 or 14 years who could not read and write. The South African Union has just awarded five government scholarships in agriculture for study abroad. The hippers of these scholarships will receive $750 per year during the three or four years for which provision is made. The successful applicants were obliged to pledge them to enter the service of the South African Union after completing their studies, and to remain in the service for at least three years at a salary not less than $1,500 per annum. Only sons of parents permanently domiciled in South Africa were eligible for the scholarships. GIRL FOUND UNCONSCIOUS Was Struck on Head With Iron Bar and Assaulted. Lucilla Marshall, twenty-eight years old, was assaulted and left unconscious in a field as she was returning from a neighbor's house to her home on the Ewingsville road, near Tromont, N.J. She is in a critical condition, with little hope for her recovery. The assault was committed near a settlement, which leads to the assumption that the assault was committed by a negro. Miss Marshall was found unconscious in a field by her father and a neighbor, who heard groans coming from the field. When taken to the Mercer hospital physicians found that the woman had been struck on the head, presumably with an iron bar, which was found near where she was lying. Whether she had been felled before or after she had been outraged the physicians could not determine. There is no clew to her assault. BILL FOR EX-PRESIDENTS It Favors Pension of $2000 a Month Bill Also For Single Term. Pensions for all future presidents of the United States of $2000 a month, their widows at the rate of $1000 a month and all minor children in case their parents are dead at $200 a month were recommended in a bill introduced by Representative De Forest; Democrat, of New York. He also proposed a constitution amendment flink the president's term at six years and making him ineligible for re-election. England's Youngest Bride England's Youngest Bride. The youngest bride who was ever led to the altar in England, so far as we can discover, was little Catherine Apaley, who had only seen four summers when she became the wife of the first Earl Bathurst, who was exactly double her age. The tiny ring worn by Catherine on this occasion, over two centuries ago, is still preserved. Lord Bathurst, survived to see the eighty-third anniversary of his wedding day, while his birthday was a wife for seventy-six years. - London Chronicle. "Wool, I'll may ye, but I had in tended gettin' married the worn." Fun Magazine. President Warmly Praises Diplomacy of "Dollars vs. Bullets" He Has Insurgued. A note of warning to European powers which by indirect means continue to discriminate against American trade; a strong appeal to the congress to uplift the great foreign policies of America above more questions of parliamnship; a triumphant vindication of the diplomacy of the administration, which is characterised as that of "dollars vs. bullets"; a masterful pride in the enormous expansion of American trade as a result of the foreign policies of his administration, and an earnest appeal for joint action by congress and the executive to open new markets for American industries—these are the striking features of President Taft's fourth annual message to congress. The message is the first of a series of such communications which Mr. Taft will make to congress in the early days of this session, the last of his term, and deals entirely with the foreign relations of the United States. A notable omission from the message is that of any discussion of the commercial treaty of 1832 with Russia, which will terminate on Dec. 21 through the denouncement of the convention last year. The president has let it be known that the state department is not seeking to negotiate another treaty with Russia, and that this will be left to the Wilson administration to accomplish. Beginning with the usual reference to the existing good relations with foreign powers, the president adds that these have been strengthened by "a greater insistence upon justice to American citizens, or interests, wherever it may have been denied, and a stronger emphasis of the need of mutuality in commercial and other relations." For the first time, says the president, the state department has obtained substantially the most favored nation treatment from all of the countries of the world. Therefore, he says that it is only natural that competitive countries should view with some concern the expansion of our commerce. Hence the warning "If in some instances the measures taken by them to meet it are not entirely equitable, a remedy should be found." To this end the president, declaring "flat tariffs are out of date," strongly recommends the enactment of the bill recommended by Secretary Knox last December, permitting the government, instead of imposing the full maximum rates of duty against discriminating countries, to apply a graduated scale of duties, up to that maximum of 25 per cent. Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, introduced a bill in the senate intended for the benefit of merchants in towns and cities where mail is delivered by carriers. Instead of the present two-cent rate on letters Senator Penrose would reduce the rate to one cent. Discussing his bill, Senator Penrose said: "There is a perilent demand for a reduction in rates of postage on mail known as drop letters, that is letters deposited in the offices of Washington, Philadelphia and other large cities for local delivery. For two cents a letter can be posted in Washington and sent to the Pacific coast at the same rate that it costs a merchant to send a statement to one of his customers in the same city. This is an injustice to business men and should be corrected. "Most any business house that has a system of credits spends not less than four cents each month on each individual customer. First he spends two cents to mail the statement and another two cents when a receipted bill is returned. And this does not take into account the many times he is compelled to send statements to patrons who are back in their accounts. The bill, in my opinion, will become a law and it should receive the hearty support of business men and commercial bodies generally throughout the country." Custer Scout Drama Dead Herold Willis Powell, or "Montana Harry," will he was better known throughout the country, believed to be the last surviving scout who was with Custer at the battle of the Little Big Horn, fell dead in a hotel in Worcester, Mass.

Attributes His Crimes to Excessive Use of Liquor—Has, Mania For Killing Boys When Drunk. J. Frank Hickey made a full confession of the murder on Oct. 12, 1911, of Joseph Josepha, the seven-year-old boy, of Lackawanna, a suburb of Buffalo, N. Y.; also of Michael Kruck, a New York newsboy, Dec. 12, 1902. Death in both instances was caused by strangulation. Hickey attributed his crimes to the excessive use of liquor. When drunk, he said, he was possessed of an irresistible mania for killing boys. He denied that he had committed other similar crimes, and said he was repentant for his deeds and expected to pay the penalty. The confession was made to Wesley C. Dudley, the district attorney. The whole tale has been reduced to a formal statement and has been signed by Hickey. Hickey is forty-seven years old and divorced. He has a son twenty-one years old. He is a chemist by profession and is possessed of the mildest manners and the most ingratiating personality. Previously he has admitted to the police that he is a drunkard and on several occasions was an inmate of the Keswick Colony of Mercy, where drunkards are given a chance to reform. It is located near Whiting, N. J., the place Hickey was traced to, through letters he had written, these letters being the principal and, for a time, the only clues to the murder of Joseph Josephs, whose dismembered body was found in an outhouse near his home on Nov. 16 last. Josephs disappeared on the after noon of Oct. 12, 1911. It was at first believed he had been drowned, but his father, George Josephs, a prominent merchant of Lackawanna, insisted that the boy had been kidnapped, and a countrywide search was instituted. The case attracted widespread attention, as the father from time to time received anonymous letters warning him to discontinue the search under threat that his son would be murdered. In one postal card from Boston the unidentified writer wrote of murdering a boy in Central park, New York city. It reads: "Wednesday night, Dec. 10, 1902; I enticed Michael Hicoa Kruck, a newsboy, into the park opposite the entrance to the arsenal police station. I strangled him and just escaped the officer who found him. Three times I have taken life, twelve times have tried and cannot help it." Another card, dated Oct. 30, 1912, was as follows: "Joseph Josephs, will be found in the bottom of the outhouse back of an loon near Doyle's, on Ridge road. A drunk crazed brain done the deed and remorse and sorrow for the parents is bringing the results which, will soon come to an end. The demon whiskey will then have one more victim, making four in all. The next morning I tried to kill a little neway, an Italian, who always stands in the morning at Seneca street. The boy knew me well. Ask him. I wish to pay the price, but will not let the Boston police get me for my family's sake." The principal evidence in the hands of the police up to two weeks ago was a letter written under a New York date and mailed at Whitings, N. J., on Feb. 1, 1912. That letter was turned over to the police by John Hoskyn, chief millwright of the American Chemical Agricultural Works, of Buffalo, Hoskyn said the writer applied for a job in the chemical works on Sept. 13, 1911. The applicant seemed to be above the class of work obtainable in the plant, but he accepted employment and remained there four days. On departing he promised to write Hoskyn, which he did four months afterward. The police then traced Hickey to Whiting, where he was arrested. Mine Cave Shakes Three Blocks. Three entire city blocks in Wilkes Barre, Pa., are rocking and shaking from a mine cave and 1500 families are terrorized and ready to flee at the first sign of a general subsidence of the earth. The disturbed section is almost in the heart of the city and is made up of North Pennsylvania avenue, North Washington street, East North street and Bennett street. Rumblings of the earth were heard during the night. They produced a noise much like a bombardment and they have continued incessantly during the day. At irregular intervals there are blasts like terrific explosions, and these are followed by the swaying and twisting of buildings; which tear the dwellings from their fastenings and bring about a general state of fright. Numerous families have reported the earth shocks so severe that coffee gets and frying pan are tasted from the kitchen stoves and hurried to the cooking. All the families are ready to depart. Gauges are stationed about to give warning of any depressions, and while Confesses He Strangled Boys When Drunk. ```markdown ``` there have been some subsidences they are not general as yet. The section is undermined by the workings of the old Smith collery, which is now controlled by the Wilkes-Barre Anthracite company. The officials cannot predict the outcome because the disturbance is in a part of the mine that has been abandoned for several years. Jackson Gets Rayner's Beat Jackson G. Rayner's office Governor Goldaborough, of Maryland, has announced the appointment of William P. Jackson, the Republican national committeeman for Maryland, to succeed the late United States Senator Ildor Rayner. Mr. Jackson, as chairman of the Republican state committee of Maryland, had charge of President Taft's campaign in Maryland during the recent presidential contest. He is also the Republican national committeeman from Maryland, and has been active in political life for many years. Mr. Jackson's home is at Sallisbury. He will serve until the legislature which meets in January, 1914, file what will then be an unexpired term of three years. The legislature at that time also elects a successor to Senator John Walter Smith, Democrat, whose term will expire in 1915. Wolcast Least on Foul Through a dense cloud of fog at Daly City, near San Francisco, a wild and excited throng of fight fans cared from the roped arena their first pugilistic lightweight champion. With the sixteenth round having only two seconds to go, Champion Wolgast fouled Ritchie, and the referee was quick to raise the local lad's glove in token of victory. The disqualification came after Ritchie had floored Wolgast twice. Whether the foul was intentional or not was the theme of discussion among thousands as they left the arena. There was no question, however, about the foul. The fact is Wolgast, delivered two low left hand punches to Ritchie's groin, and the action of the referee was the only course to pursue. Patrick Ja Free: at Last. Albert T. Patrick has won his fight twenty years for life and liberty. The man who was first condemned to death and then to life imprisonment for the murder in New York on Sept. 28, 1980, of the millionaire, William Marsh Rice, was pardoned, fully and unconditionally, at Albany by Governor Dix. He left Sing Sing prison on Thanksgiving day. He was met by his wife and left at once in an automobile for New York. Patrick spent two years in the Tombs and ten years in Sing Sing prison, nearly half of that time in the death house. When he arrived in New York he was joined by his two daughters and they celebrated his release with a Thanksgiving dinner. Gives Blood to Save Miner. John Edwards, a miner, of Kingston, was taken to the Moses Taylor hospital in Scranton, Pa., on Saturday with a crushed leg. The immediate transfusion of blood wa-sail that would give him a chance of life, the surgeons at the hospital said. William Evans, of West Scranton, another miner, who is in the hospital with a fractured leg, volunteered to give his blood to save a fellow miner. The transfusion took place and was a success. Not until the nurse brought him his breakfast did Evans inquire the name of the man to whom he gave his blood. Robbed by Masked Man. Miss Minnie Snook, a young Lewistown, Pa., stamestress, was held up at a lonely spot near Lewistown Junction and robbed of $25 which she carried in a handbag. The highwayman escaped in the direction of Lewistown Narrows, where railroad policemen are searching for him. Goto "Death Hand" in Card Game Gets "Death Hand" in Card Game.

WHITE GIRL BRIDE OF JACK JOHNSON Jack Johnson, the colored pugilist, married Miss Lucille Cameron, the nineteen-year-old white girl, of Minneapolis, who recently prepared as a witness against him before the federal grand jury in Chicago, which returned indictments charged him with violations of the Mann act. The ceremony was performed at the home of Johnson's aged mother on the South Side by Rev. H. A. Roberts, a colored preacher, in the presence of a dozen colored people and several reporters. Miss Cameron wore a tailor-made gray suit of silken plaid and a large black picture hat with purple plumes. Johnson had a suit of the same material, especially made for the occasion. A curious crowd of nearly 1000 men and women gathered outside the house and a squad of police was kept busy maintaining order. The marriage will not affect his case before the federal court, according to Johnson's attorneys. "I had a long talk with Miss Cameron Monday," said Johnson. "I explained that I had been blamed for ill-treating her and that we might as well be married right away. She is alone in the world now. Her mother has left her and her stepfather is quoted as saying he wants to have nothing more to do with her." HAZERS STAB STUDENTS Sixteen-Year-Old Boy Is Probably Fatally Wounded.

"Hopper, boy! I got you. Hop. We got a description somewhere of Wolf, the Hopper. He's a second story man." "But I'm a singer and an actor," protested the agitated comedian.

Let's see you act." Mr. Hopper hurled himself into an impassioned rendition of "Horatio at the Bridge," which he picked at the spur of the moment as affording plenty of color and action. The judge listened coldly. By and by he frowned Mr. Hopper down. "I don't call that actin'," said he. "That's a school piece. If you was an actor you could dance." Mr. Hopper danced for the gentleman. The audience in the courtroom watched him critically. By and by the periphrastic actor quit work. "I gotta fine you," said the judge, "and then I'll let you go.

A patriotic Scotman was present at a meeting of a certain society at which an eminent Shakespeareian scholar dwelt on the virtues of his favorite author. At the close of the meeting the Scot approached the lecturer, and the following dialogue took place: "Ye think a fine lot o' Shakespeare, doctor?" "I do, sir," was the emphatic reply. "An' ye think he was mair clever than Rabbile Burries?" "Why, there is no comparison be tween them." "Maybe no, but ye tell us tonight it was Shakespeare who wrote 'Uneasy lies the head that wears a croon.' Now, Rabbile would never have written sic nonsense as that." "Nonsense, sir?" cried the indignant doctor. "Aye, just nonsense. Rabble would hae kent that a king, or a queen either, disna gang to bed wi' the croon on his head. He wad hang it over 'r' back o' a chair." A "Cutting" Retort A surgeon who was very young and very shy was asked to dinner by a lady who was at least forty and tried to pass herself off as twenty and apparently imagined that being rude and tomboyish assisted to sustain the youthful illusion. At dinner she asked him to carve a fowl, and, never having carved a fowl before and being painfully abey, he made a mess of it. Instead of trying to cover his confin K HE MADE A MESS OF TE alon his hostess called attention to it pointedly by looking down the table and saying loudly: "Well, Dr. I," you may be a very clever surgeon, but if I wanted a leg if I should not come to you to do it. "No, madam," he replied politely, "but then, you are, you are not a chicken." Considerate A story is told in Lady Frances Halfour's life of the late General Booth. Once, when addressing a huge audience, the officers, fearing the general would not be heard, began to close the windows of the hall. Half were what when peremptorily he had the officers stop. "Don't associate them till the collection is taken," said the general. Many of the inhabitants of the sea are good jumper, and some have become famous. Among them should be mentioned the tarpon or silver king, a huge fish with scales that gleam like silver. In the Pacific waters the tuna, an ally of the horse mackerel, is noted for its leap. Sometimes a school sweeps up the coast, and the powerful fish, often weighing 100-pounds, are seen in the air in every direction. They dart like an arrow, turn gracefully five or six feet in the air, and come down, keeping the water for acorn in a foam, and, if not the greatest, they are certainly the most graceful of the jumbers of the sea.

HOW,WHEN AND WHY A SECOND ADVENT No World-Burning—Satan to Be Bound—Sin, Sickness and Death to Be Conquered—Man to Be Delivered. The Power Vested In Messiah—His Kingdom Near—How It Will Appear. Denver, Dec. 1.—This city is stirred: Seventeen pastors of all denominations, have been discussing The Second Advent for a month. Now comes Pastor Russell telling us all that "The Earth ablides forever"—that it will never be destroyed by literal fire. According to Denver, Dec. 1.—This city is stirred: Seventeen pastors of all denominations, have been discussing The Second Advent for a month. Now comes Pastor Russell telling us all that "The Earth abideth forever"—that it will never be destroyed by literal fire. According to him the great event of Christ's Coming will bring blessings such as we all desire. He seems to have the Bible and torse on his side too! Pastor Russell declared that false concepts of the Second Coming of Christ had done great injury. The view set forth in all orthodox creeds is that Christ will come again in the flesh. The resurrection will take place within twenty four hours. The saintly will rise in the air to meet the Lord. Then fire will come down from heaven, and consume the whole earth. Pre-millennialists claim that Christ will reign in fleshly glory a thousand years to bless the living. The majority of Christians disbelieve this as ridiculous nonuse because they believe little of cresol or Bible. A minority perceive its inconsistency with the Bible. What Bible Students Now See. What Bible Students Now See. The "fire of that day" is symbolical, already kindling in society, the elements of which, Capital and Labor, are getting hotter. Soon they will melt, the symbolical "earth" will be consumed with the "heavens" also, the ecclesiastical powers. Their passing away will usher in a "new earth," on social order, and "new heavens," the Church in glory. The Second Coming of Christ is associated with blessings. Messiah will abolish the curse and bring in wonderful blessings. The Day of Christ will be "the last Day,"—the great Seventh Thousand-year Day. All humanity will be blessed, including the dead who will then be awakened. Christ Comes to Reign. An the redemption was necessary for man's salvation so Messiah's Kingdom is necessary to accomplish restitution. The delay of more than eighteen centuries is Scripturally explained: (1) God designed Six Great One Thousand Year Days to teach mankind the exceeding sinfulness of sin. He purposed that on the Seventh Day the blessing of Messiah should come. (2) An important work has been done since Calvary. An Elect Church has been gathered out of all nations—saints made perfect through suffering, a Little Flock, the "Church of the First-born." These are to become the Bride of Christ at Hia Second Advent. The Second Coming of Jesus is to claim His Bride class, and to exalt them. As regards the world, He comes to bind Satan, to overthrow sin, and to uplift fallen humanity. St. Peter tells that Restitution work, not a literal burning of the world, awaits the Second Coming of Jesus: "Times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord."—Acts 11: 19-21. Christ's Kingdom to Be Spiritual. Christ's Kingdom to Be Spiritual. One great mistake we have all made is in not noticing that Jesus was human for only thirty-three and a half years. He was a glorious spirit being before He was made flesh; and He was resurrected to a spirit condition higher than His original one. How foolish we were to think of Jesus as a man (a little lower than angels) in the midst of the heavenly host. He is now partaker of the Divine nature; His Church is to be "changed" and made "like Him." As His descent was from a higher to a lower, so His ascent was from a lower nature to a higher, "far above angels." His is the exceeding glory which "no man hath seen nor can see"—"which no man can approach unto." It is this glorious being whose King dom in about to be established He and His Church will be as invisible to men as are Satan and the fallen angels. The appearances of Jesus in the Seed after His resurrection were materializations, to prove: (1) that Jesus was no longer dead; (2) that He was changed, born of the Spirit, able to go and come like the wind. Parocasia, Epiphania, Apotaleiae. Messiah's Kingdom will have earthly representatives—the faithful mints of previous ages, raised to human perfection instantly. Through these the invisible Messianic Kingdom will operate. Jesus said, "To shall see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and all the prophets in the Kingdom." "The parocasia of Jesus will come first—present but invisible. The world will continue with the ordinary affairs of life (while He is gathering the Church), as in the days of Noah. there will be an epiphanie and an epiphepale of Jesus. He will shine forth. He will be revealed—not in flesh, but "naming fire," the trouble of that Day, in which the present order will be consumed in anarchy, giving place in the Kingdom Dispensation. MODISH MATTERS.

Lawrence Strike Leader Acquitted of Murder Charge. © 1914 by American Public Affairs ETTOR ACQUITTED OF MURDER CHARGE With Giovanni and Caruso Found Not Guilty. "Not guilty" was the verdict given by the jury in Salem, Mass., in the case of Joseph J. Eiter, Arturo Giovannetti and Joseph Caruso, who were charged with the murder of Anna Leptina, who was killed in one of the many riots that marked the Lawrence textile strike last winter. When the three men board the words freeing them from the charge of murder they embraced and kissed one another. Glovannittl then sprang to his feet in the prisoners' cage. "Gentlemen of the jury," he said, his face beaming with joy, "in the name of justice, truth and civilization, I thank you." The court announced to Caruso that there was another indictment against him charging assault with intent to kill, and that the court would release him on his own recognizance. Then he was released from the cage. His wife, waiting at the rail behind the prisoners' cage, fell into his arms and a dozen of his male companions rushed forward and kissed him. Ettor and Glovannitti also were held an another indictment charging them with William D. Haywood and others with conspiracy to incite riot. On this they were released in bonds of $500 each. The Lawrence strike leaders were then freed from the cage and be ledged by a crowd. For several minutes they were the recipients of kisses from the men and congratulations from the women. A few minutes later, followed by a cheering throng of mill-workers, they marched through the streets to the local office of the Industrial Workers of the World. Fed Them on Stale News In the British arctic expedition of 1875 one of the chaplains had a file of the London Times twenty years old, containing the Crimean war reports. One copy was given out to each ship daily. The officers had it first, then it went to the forecastle, and soon every one was as keen about the news as if the war had been proceeding. The clergyman in control of the press was besought to issue an evening edition, and when Sebastopol was about to be taken excitement ran so high that the newspaper office—a locker—was almost stormed. The editor, however, was firm and continued with his daily issue, the interest being kept up to the end of the expedition. Animalia Clover With Their Foot. Goats are the most sure shot of our native animals. They can walk upright where the average human being would not crawl. Horses are the daintiest breeders, however, though they cannot climb. No horse will step on a man if it can possibly help it. It is a standing rule in cavalry regiments that if a trooper is diamondbed he must remain perfectly still, when the whole column passes over him without injuring him. Camels are carolers, on the other hand, and the man who came out unharmed from under the foot of a camel corps was not born to be run over by any kind of beast or vehicle—Exchange. ```markdown ``` LADIES LOOK!

A case was being tried in the west of England, and at its termination the judge charged the jury, and they retired for consultation. Hour after hour passed and no verdict was brought in. The judge's dinner hour arrived, and he became hungry and impatient. Upon inquiry he learned that one obstinate juryman was holding out against eleven. That he could not stand, and he ordered the twelve men to be brought before him. He told them that in his charge to them he had no plainly stated the case and the law that the verdict ought to be unanimous, and the man who permitted his individual opinion to weigh against the judgment of eleven men of wisdom was unfit and disqualified ever again to act in the capacity of juryman. At the end of this excited barrage a little squeaky voice came from one of the jury. He said, "Will your lordship allow me to say a word?" Permission being given, he added, "May it please your lordship. I am the only man on your side."—New York Globe. The Excuse Imaginative. Panic—Why didn't you turn up for golf on Saturday?

WYATT, Cashier. A panic in a moving picture theater in Lancaster, Pa., was averted by the cleverness of a lecturer who was describing Homer's "Odyasey" to a crowded house. In the midst of his talk he noticed smoke issuing from a side wall and, signalling to the operator, the latter stopped his machine and turned on the lights. The lecturer, Captain Clark, announced that, owing to a break in the film he would ask the audience to leave while the repairs were being made. Nearly all had left quietly when a woman noticed the flames and uttered a cry of "Fire!" Those remaining fled precipitately, but no one was hurt. By the time the house was emptied a chemical wagon arrived and the fire was soon extinguished. The blaze started from a defective flue. Father Stake Son in Quarrel. Former Police Sergeant William R. Herrick, of Baltimore, Md., probably fatally stabbed his son, William S. Herrick, Jr., and wounded his daughter, Grace, in his home on Ashton street, when the father and son quarreled. The son was stabbed in the left breast and abdomen and the girl received a severe cut when she attempted to separate them. Herrick escaped from the house and was arrested in the central part of the city two hours after the cutting. He was reduced from the rank in the police department several years ago, and his dismissal from the service followed shortly after he was found guilty of drinking while on duty about eighteen months ago.
