Mr. Editor:—I have read with interest the newspaper accounts of an investigation conducted at the Bon Air Home for delinquent girls of the white race, as ordered by the Governor or the State. As a colored man, my attention was especially drawn to the prominence given Beverly Banks, a member of my race and an employee at the Home. Coming to the point, some of the daily papers have inferred and suggested that Banks be removed because he is a Negro. All of the testimony which I read showed that this colored man was honest, capable and efficient. Too black it appears to think himself white, yet he must be denied a servant's place in a Home for Delinquent. The matron is reported to have said that Banks was the "noblest Negro God ever made," but some of us feel that God has made some Negroes so noble that "plus ultra" would properly adorn their humanity. Yet in spite of this par excellent testimony, Banks, the faithful servant, who held the keys, locked the gate, answered the phone, worked the garden by day and guarded the premises by night, who did what he was told, knew his place and stayed in it; Banks, whose heart was pure, conscience clear and record good, but whose skin is black must go, because he is a Negro. --- I do not know this colored man, never heard his name before, and have no personal interest, save that vital interest in my race for its welfare and uplift. In the name of an oppressed people, I ask, when will prejudice yield to truth and character have a meaning more significant than color? We used to be told that justice is blind and so it sometimes seems; but I believe that one day she will open her eyes and mote out to every man equity and opportunity or else, "the whole scheme of Christian religion is but a cunningly devised fable, the agony of Calvary the echo of a deceling dream, and the reputed vicarious death of Christ a mere fig-ment of the imagination."

JOHNSON FINDS SAFETY IN PARIS Colored Pugilist Announces That He Will Remain in French Capital Paris, July 10.—"Jack" Johnson, the colored heavyweight prize fighter, accompanied by his wife and his nephew, reached Paris this afternoon from the United States by way of Montreal. The pugilist drove to a number of hotels before he was able to find accommodation. Johnson said he intended to make Paris his headquarters in the future and that never on any account would he fight again in America. He added that he had arranged for a number of fights to take place in Europe in the autumn. Referring to his recent sentence under the "white slave" law to serve one year in the Leavenworth prison, Johnson declared he would carry the case to the highest court, president a decision ultimately would be given in his favor. It is not genially believed here that Johnson will be deported from France, but the French authorities have not yet ordered at any permanent decision. Washington, July 10.—Officials of the Department of Justice expressed themselves as satisfied with reports cabled from Paris today that Jack Johnson, the colored pugilist, convicted of a violation of the white slave act, is going to stay in the French capital and has no idea of ever returning to the United States. Bruce Brylawski, chief of the Bureau of Investigations, said that no attempt would be made by the deportment to get Johnson back to this country through extradition, and that officials here will be entirely satisfied if Johnson remains abroad forever. Jack Johnson Never to Return. Havre, France, July 10.—Jack Johnson, the colored pugilist, arrived here today on board the Corinthian and, immediately on landing, an nounced his determination never to return to the United States. He said he would, in the future take up his residence in Paris. Nobody Cares If He Never Comes Back. Washington, July 10.—Jack Johnson's announcement that he would never return to the United States caused department of justice officials immediately to consider steps to bring about the forfeiture of his $30,000 personal bond, pending in Chicago for his appearance in connection with "white slave" indictments, upon which he has not yet been tried. Judge Carpenter a few days ago declined to declare the bond forfeited until it was clear that Johnson would not appear when wanted. The department of justice, it is said, will probably seek official confirmation of his announced purpose not to return, and present the matter again to Judge Carpenter. Government attorneys expressed no regret over the Negro's announcement. A few days ago officials consoled the advisability of asking France to deport him upon arrival, but it was decided to let the case take its usual course. Their view was that there could be no objection to his absence from the country and, if he should ever return, the year's imprisonment sentence would always be enforceable, provided the circuit court of appeals approves the verdict. Jack Johnson may not find refuge in France, in the opinion of the state department officials. FRANCE MAY DEPORT HIM They say that, while probably there, is no provision in the extradition treaty with France under which his surrender could be demanded, the French authorities, even with out a formal appeal from this government, may deport Johnson, as, like most European countries, France is understood to have laws prohibiting the immigration of a person convicted of crime in his own country.

Washington, July 10.—A proposed innovation in the navy that would have made a big dent in the social wall that divides commissioned officers from the enlisted men has been abandoned by Secretary Danfels, of the navy. It was Mr. Daniels who conceived the plan of putting this precedent—breaking system into effect, and he persisted in his view up to the very point of issuing an order on the sub ject. The order would have been promulgated, it was said, if Mr. Daniels had not learned something that brought his democratic views into conflict with certain prejudices that he had acquired through his Southern birth and residence. Briefly, the racial question of color intervened. Secretary Daniels' proposal was that commissioned officers should mean with the enlisted men on warships. Ever since he became Secretary of the Navy, Mr. Daniels has shown a disposition to make the naval service a democratic institution, and it was in line with his view in this particular that he conceived the plan of having officers and bluejackets fraternize on terms that are not now permitted either by custom or regulation. In fact, no officer may as sociate on a plane of social equality with enlisted men without encountering the danger of trial before a military court. Mr. Daniels thought that this was all wrong. To his way of thinking, life on shipboard would be much happier and the bluejackets in particular would be better satisfied if a commanding officer sat at the head of each mess table between decks, with enlisted men for messmates, and ate the same food that they did. According to the gossip in naval circles, officers stationed at the department were aghast when the suggestion was brought to their attention by the head of the naval administration. Mr. Daniels wanted to know what they thought of it. He got immediate and pointed answers, all of which may be summarized in the one word "never." Admirals and others could not regard with complacency a Gibertian condition such as prevailed aboard the good ship Pinafore. They pointed out to Secretary Daniels that social intercourse which messing together would mean struck at the very heart of the system of discipline necessary for officers to maintain among the enlisted personnel of the navy. Rumor had it that Mr. Daniels was told that if the meaning arrangement he proposed were put into effect it would probably cause as much dissatisfaction among the enlisted men as it would among the officers, for the reason that the constant presence of an officer at an enlisted mess would interfere with the freedom of conversation among themselves and generally make them uncomfortable. But the Secretary of the Navy was obdurate. He directed that a memorandum be drawn setting forth his plan for a common messing system on shipboard, and was about to issue the memorandum in the form of an order when a new angle to the situation was pointed out to him and caused him to change his mind. This new view, according to what is being said in naval circles, was provided in the suggestion to Mr. Daniels that, of course, the Negro enlisted men in the navy would be obliged to take their meals at tables presided over by officers. Most of the American warships now have Negroes for mess attendants, while there are a smaller number of colored men enlisted as seamen. When Mr. Daniels was made to understand that the regulation he proposed to put into effect could hardly be drawn so that the Negro enlisted men should not have an officer to preside over their mess table, he decided to post pore the promulgation of the order, and it is now generally understood in naval circles that it will not see the light of day while Mr. Daniels is Secretary of the Navy. The desire of Mr. Daniels to make the navy a more democratic institution has been demonstrated in several ways. Recently he issued an order that only enlisted men in the service should be permitted to take the examination for appointment as assistant paymasters, who are commissioned officers. In Memoriam.

Graham, pastor of the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, Philadelphia, Pa. was in the city this week circulating among his many friends and looking after the erection of a new Home Office Building of the American Beneficial Insurance Company. He reports his church work in Philadelphia in a most excellent condition. He is having a rally next Sunday, for the purpose of putting in new pews in the church and to make other necessary decorations. Nearly eight hundred (800) members have joined the church since he has been there in less than two years and over six thousand ($6,000.00) dollars paid on the debt. Dr. Graham reports every thing in beautiful harmony in all departments of his church. He recently attended the New England Baptist Convention which met in Washington, D. C. and was made a member of both the Educational and Publication Boards. He was on last Monday, a week ago, re-elected President of the Minister's Conference. He has been appointed Chairman of the Finance Committee to handle all the funds of the National Baptist Convention at its next meeting in September at Nashville, Tennessee. He has been requested by the Editor of the National Baptist Review to prepare an article for the daily issuance of that Journal during the session of the Convention. He has been requested this week by Prof. James S. Lee of Newport Nowa to be the Orator of the Emancipation Services to be held in Newport News during the Sunday School Convention in August. He will be a delegate to the National Business League to be held in Philadelphia during the month of August. Thus it will be seen that Richmond's once honored pastor is still kept busy, working for his church, denomination and race. Dr. Graham says that the graduates of Virginia Seminary and other friends in the North are preparing to raise one thousand ($1,000.00) dollars for the new Dormitory soon to be begun on the hill in Lynchbo.

The Argyle Case A Novelization by J. W. McConaughey of the Successful New Play by Harriet Ford, Harvey J. O'Iliggins and Detective William J. Burns, in Which Robert Hilliard Is Appearing. Copyright, 1912, by Journal - American Emmas PROLOGUE- When a murder is committed there is invariably a motive. Sometimes it is obvious; sometimes its presence is masked behind a complexity of possibilities until it is well nigh impossible to disentangle the elander skein of fact from the warp and woof of probability. But always the motive is there. "Look for the woman," said Pere Tabaret, the French detective, "and in her you will find the solution of your mystery---if you find her." And in the main he was right. Yet it is not always the obvious woman nor the obvious motive that is responsible for a crime. Sometimes the underlying cause rests on deeper reasons than are apparent even to the closest observer. Then only an accident can give a clew to the real criminal. And so it is with "The Argyle Case." UPON a day James Argyle was about his usual haunts. Upon an evening he was at his home, seemingly hale and happy. Upon a morning he was found on a Persian rug by the isalad table of his rich library lying on his side with one hand gripping the table cover, the bosom of his evening shirt a deep brick red, a small hole one inch to the left of the second stud, his glazed eyes staring at the ceiling. A chair near by was overturned, and some distance away lay a revolver. It was a plain murder. The crime was discovered shortly after 7 o'clock in the morning, and by 9 the evening papers were on the street with columns of pictures detail and theory, for James Argyle was known from one end of Manhattan to the other. He was also known in San Francisco and other places. In the first place he was enormously wealthy. He had built a costly and not very small place on a street in New York where the price of a front foot would keep an ordinary family in comfort for a number of years. But beyond the mere fact of his riches there were other reasons. He was probably sixty years old, though he never discussed his age with any one. He belonged to a few clubs and attended only one. This was in later years. Formerly he seemed fond of the society of men, but in the few years preceding his death he grew eccentric. He was likely to quarrel and for several months before the terrible end he did quarrel with every one. For years the firm of Tolworthy & Mead had looked after his legal needs but the elder Mr. Tolworthy died, and old Mr. Argyle secured relations with the firm and retained an obscure attorney named James T. Hurley. He quarreled with his son almost constantly, ap that the young man, who had a decided bent toward the artistic rented a studio in Twenty-third street, where he lived a bachelor's life. He even began to find fault with the old negro cook who had been in his house hold for twenty years and for whose cooking he was want to leave the club at meal times after pointedly insulting the management in his criticisms of the club culinary. Much of this the newspapers learned and the rest they guessed at. They also guessed at a great deal more for the first day or two until real facts began to spring up that made guesswork unnecessary. There was one person intimately connected with Mr. Angyle, whom he treated with unfailing love, and respect. She was his adopted daughter, Miss Mary Maxure. About her the newspaper reporters could learn little, excepting that she took the place of a natural daughter in the old man's life. What her real parentage was remained a mystery. She and Benie Angyle, the pain, and the other members CHAPTER 1 Of the household refused absolutely to see reporters, so the reporters wrote things that they didn't see and hold up the police for everything that the police had learned. This was not much. The murder was nearly a week old, and the mystery seemed as far from solution as ever. But there was no lack of material for lively speculation. Old Mr. Argyle had been known to quarrel with his son frequently the past few months, and this fact was given due importance. He had been out-for a motor ride through the park that afternoon with Miss Mazuret and seemed unusually happy and pleased when he returned. He had telephoned to his son and invited film to the house for dinner that night. After dinner the father and son had a long talk in the library. Miss Mauna ret dined with them and said that it was a very happy party—that Mr. Argyle and his son were on an unusually friendly feasting, and that the past differences seemed to have been forgot ten. She denied that she knew what these differences might have been. She left Mr. Argyle and Bruce talk ing in the library and went up to her ```markdown ``` Miss Mazuret Was Certain She Heard Bruce Leave the House. room. Later she was certain she heard Bruce leave the house and after that she had neither seen nor heard a suspicious sound until the alarm rang through the house the next morning. Inspector Duffy, in view of these facts, subjected Mr. Bruce Argyle to searching examination. The young man frankly admitted that the differences of opinion between himself and his father had grown so acute that he felt it would be better for all concerned if he found quarters elsewhere. He did not harbor any ill feeling against his father on this account, he said. His father was growing old, was centric and extremely stubborn and set in his ways. It was simply a conflict of wills, and he had left to avoid a serious break that might have been irreparable. Miss Mazuret would bear. irreparable. Miss Mazurce would be him out in this. "What is your financial position?" the inspector asked. The young man smiled at the question. "I am an artist," he replied, "and so far unknown and onepid. But my father, while he was determined to impose his will on every one about him, was not mean or vindictive. When I decided to leave the house he increased my allowance instead of cutting me off. He believed he could bring me around to his way of thinking by argument. He never tried force." Fifteen minutes inter the reporters had most of the details of this examination, and the newspapers began to print long and circumstantial stories, which pointed in but one direction that Bruce Argyle must have had a hand in the murder of his father. It was pointed out that there was no Justice proof that he had left the house at the hour he were and nothing to show that he had gone to his studio. Also, there was nothing to show that if he had left the house he had not returned at a later hour. All of the servants had been examined, and, while they were greatly excited and distressed, they apparently knew nothing. The police had hops that further and closer inquiries would reveal "aspicious facts on which to base an arrest." Inspector Duffy, while he would not go into detainment,imated that there would be "someational developments within a few hours." And so it went. These stories were printed under headlines such as "Io- 1 "I can't wait for result!" declared Bruce. "I can't wait for result!" declared Bruce. Ice Know Argyle Murderer," "Sou Quarreled With Argyle Before Shooting." Artists are not usually considered men of action, and that is possibly the reason that Bruce Argyle was experiencing much difficulty in gaining recognition as an artist. He was decidedly a man of action—lean, wiry, dark eyed and asetic. His appearance, save for the carelessness of his attire, was more that of confidential secretary to an empire builder than a dabbler in palms and caverns. He acted with great swiftness, as he felt there was great need. Not that he was alarmed—he felt that he was in no danger of being convicted of the murder, but he was anxious to keep his name out of unpleasant association with the crime for a number of perfectly manifest reasons and one that was not manifest—he was engaged to a very charming young woman, Miss Nancy Thompson. The engagement was a secret, but he was afraid that it would leak out and Miss Thompson's name and picture would be starting at the young girl from the front pages of the newspapers. Within a few hours after the news papers and taken this task he was in consultation with Mr. Hurley. Mr Hurley was a smoothly polished professional man of about forty, who maintained a handsome office, but practiced little in the courts apparently Young Arglee was not satisfied with the counsel of his father's lawyer. The latter advised ignoring the publicity that must inevitably attend the murder, doing all that lay within their power to aid the police and wait for results. "I can't wait for results!" declared Bruce. "This thing is getting on my nerves and on Mary's and Nancy's. For the sake of all of us it has to be cleared up right away." "Well, I do not see that we can hurry matters any," said Mr. Hurley in his most soothing professional manner. "No, I guess you don't." returned Bruce, a little bitterly. "I don't either But something has to be done." "Wait, young man, wait." Mr. Hurley advised him. "The police will surely get on the right track within another or day or two." "The police" snorted Ariely. "They have been getting on the right truck for nearly a week, and all they have done so far is make newspaper stories that are as ridiculous as they are of fensive." "The truth cannot hurt any one," mildly objected Mr. Hurley. "Yes, it can, too!" reported Bruce. "It is true that I was the last person with my father and that I can't prove that I wasn't when he was killed and you bet that hurts like the dick end." "It does not prove that you killed him," remarked the lawyer, "and the burden of proof rests upon the state." "Yes," broke in Bruce, with rims scorn. "I like the idea of going on for weeks this way in the position of the police not being able to prove that killed my father." I want them to prove who did it—not me to prove this I didn't or anything else." "Well, I suppose they are trying a hard as they can," said Mr. Hurley. "They seem to be busy enough." "Oh, yes, they're busy!" Angly laughed grimly. "Every time the have a spare man around headquarter they send him up to bother me on Mary and get us to tell everything on over again. Mary is nearly distracted I suppose they'll be charging her with the murder in the newspapers pretty soon, and then I'll commit a mishap that won't be any mystery." Now, Bruce, don't excite yourself. commanded the lawyer. But he seemed accommodate at the mention of Miss Mamast. "The truth may be unpleasant, as you may, but it can never do any harm." Angie made an impatient gesture: "It can do some real harm to Mary if she breaks down under all this this implacableism, as you call it," he retested. "I suppose this thing, of the will, is bound to be made public, and then there will be all sorts of new and master stories about the whole lot of us." "It can hardly be avoided," conceded the lawyer regretfully. "I think, my self, that the newspapers are allowed too much license in this respect, but that is better than a crippled and hampered press." Angie frowned at the door and the lawyer played with a pen and waited. At last the young man looked up apparently calm by a private resolve. "Well," he said, with a grim under current of threat in his voice. "I'll give the police you have so much faith to them—a day longer, and then I'll take charge myself." The lawyer threw him a swift, keen glance. "What are you planning to do?" he asked. "Never mind!" The young man lips came together. "You and your frienda the police, have had nearly a week at this and haven't got anywhere excepting to make a lot of trouble for people who have trouble enough as it is. I am going to get action!" "You had better do nothing without consulting me," adried Mr. Hurley earnestly. "I have consulted you," retorted Aigle. "All you can advise me to do is wait and trust to the police. I have done both for a week. If they haven't got something by tomorrow morning I'll." He cut himself off and Mr. Hurley engenderly demanded, "What will you do? "Well, you'll see. There isn't any particular reason why I shouldn't tell you, and I will as soon as I decide but when I do the investigation is going to be carried on under my directions." And with a nod to the lawyer walked out. On the way home he bought the final edition of an evening paper. His eye ran over the headline and he gnapped and swore. It took: "Argyle Murder Motive Found! Aged Millionaire Planned Change of Will Adopted Daughter Now Sole Heir Son Dislainherst." There followed a detailed story of his reconciliation with his father—of his father's plan to put him back to his will as joint heir with his adopted sister and of the fact that the murder left him penniless and his adopted sister one of the richest beneficiaries to the world. "Find the person whom the crime most benefits, said old Papa Tates ret, the greatest detective in fiction. Papa Tabard was great because he was human and made mistakes. He nearly made a terrible mistake in following this axiom scientifically, though he proved in the end that it worked out unfailingly. The weakness of it is the difficulty of ascertaining the number of persons who are benefited by the crime and the precise degree of gain to each. Thus it happens that number of persons may be benefited by different ways by a murder. These persons may not know of the existence of each other, and the one who commits the crime may be deriving great benefits, but may also at the same time be benefiting others in a lesser and even greater degree. So here is another weakness of the axiom that the most benefited need not necessarily have guilty knowledge of the crime. But in this case that weakness could be eliminated, as the newspaper actually pointed out. Miss Mazurte knew the innermost secrets of the old man mind. She knew of his quarrels with his son. She probably knew that the will had been made entirely in the favor. She was present at the reception dinner, when it must have been known to all—as the lawyer known for several days—that Mr Angle purpose writing a new will and leaving the larger share of his fortune to his natural child. This was to have been done within a few days at the outside, and he was murdered the same night. So it was that in vague terms and indirect fashion, but none the less of effectively, the newspaper pointed the guntner of suspicion at Miss Mazurte. She had the most to gain from the millionaire's death—that was obvious—hence, argued the reporters, doubtless could tell more if she wished Perhaps, indeed, she actually possessed the solution of the mystery. CHAPTER II. Asche Kayton, Detective. WHEN Bruce Argle had read through to the last line of this story, he pulled out his watch and glanced at it. It was a few minutes past 4 o'clock. He was at Twenty-third street in the subway. He got out, crossed the street and boarded a train down, changing to an express at Fourteenth Street. A few minutes later he was being shot up to the eighteenth floor of a tall office building in the financial district. Leaving the elevator, he followed the runner's directions and found an office door that bore the simple inscription: ABCHE KAYTON Entering he found himself confronted by an oldish boy on the opposite side of the railing. Inside the railing were the ruff, settles and chairs of a comfortable antenor. It might have been the publishing office of a religious weekly. The boy respectfully asked his name and whom he wished to see. Argyll handed him his card. "Mr. Kayton," he said. The boy opened a gate in the railing and invited him to sit down. As Argyll snuck on to a chair the boy disappeared. In less than sixty seconds one of the many doors opening of the antenor awoke back and a man entered holding the card. The room then looked more than ever like the office of a church newspaper. The newcomer was satisfied, and held hands, and were a daily after coat over a black vest and trousers. His face was round, his eyes round and pleasant, his cheeks slightly pink and his expression one of the stern benemence. But his mouth was the liped and opened very little when he spoke. "Mr. Angry!" he said, with a nod "Mr. Angelo!" he said, with a nod and a smile. "Yes," replied Bruce, rising, somewhat nonplanned by this unexpected personage. "Mr." He paused. "I am Mr. Leischmann, the manager of Mr. Kayton's New York office. Was your business with Mr. Kayton personal?" The tone was pleasantly businesslike. "I wanted to see Mr. Kayton at once, if possible," said Bruce. Mr. Leischmann nodded as if he fully understood. "About the —" Bruce nodded. "Yes." he replied. Bruce nodded. "Tea, he replied. "Could you take the matter up with me or—7" "I would prefer to see Mr. Kayton. insisted the young man politely. Mr. Leischmann gared past him and cleared his throat. "I think Mr. Kayton is planning to leave town this evening, but you might be able to see him before he goes," he said. "Leave town! For how long?" demanded Bruce. "I can't say," replied the manager. "If you will excuse me a moment I will see if I can get Mr. Kayton on the phone." The young man nodded in the ante room for three or four minutes until A. He Was Credited With Second Sight and All Sorts of Things. the manager returned to him, smiling benevolently "Mr. Kayton does not leave for an hour," he said, "and he will be pleased to have you call at his hotel at once." tour. He said, and he will be present to have you call at his hotel at once. "I thought got the address and business out. The mini-museum has been introduced into the presence of the detective, whose remarkable successes had made two hemispheres ring with his name. He was credited with second sight and seventh sense and all sorts of things. He told reporters that there was nothing in his career but hard work, common sense and remembering that two and two always make four and never four and a half or three and three quarters. After they had shaken hands Bruce gasped at the great crime expert curiously. He saw a man of possibly forty years, who looked younger. He was shaved with scapulars care, his hair was brushed until each hair seemed to fit into its exact spot, his clothes fitted him perfectly and he looked as if he had been groomed for hours. His eyes were either brown or black, but the glowed or amolderged or sparkled constantly that no one could tell. His nose was well formed, but not prominent, and the same was true of the line of jaw and chin. The mouth was at once strong and sensitive. The expression was one of phlegm repose, and it had been cultivated to conceal the whir of the volcanic mind behind it just as his subdued manner but in perfectly concealed the tireless energy of the man. "I am sorry I can give you only a few minutes," he said in soft, pleasant voice without waiting for Bruce to state the nature of his erraud. "You want to consult me about that terrible affair of your father. Did you want me to look into it?" "Yes." Bruce blurted out. The detective nodded. "I see," he said. "Very well. I have carte blanche as to expense?" "Certainly," replied Bruce instantly. "If you can throw any light on this awful thing you can spend all the money you please." Mr. Kayton's lips twitched very slightly. "There is never any difficulty under those circumstances. Mr. Angle," he said. "The trouble is in getting people to pay expenses when they can't see results. I furnish no guarantees." Bruce gazed directly at him for a moment and then said slowly, "In asking you to take this case, Mr. Kayton, I was fully prepared to pay all of the expenses of the investigation and pay you whatever fee you consider reasonable." "We'll talk about the fee when I deliver the goods," replied the detective quietly. "I am sorry to dismish you, but I have to catch a train." "But I wanted you to begin at once," he protested. "Iimpossible!" said Mr. Kayton shortly, butting his gloves. "But—but—when—" "I will be at your house at 9 o'clock in the morning," returned Mr. Kayton. Bruce drew a long breath of relief. "You're not going far, then!" "Only to Albany," replied Mr. Kayton. "I will return on the last train tonight." Bruce sighed. "Well, I suppose it's the best we can do," he said, as they shook hands at the foot of the elephant. "But I did want to choose those morning papers off some way." Again that faint smile flickered nervously. --- "Don't worry about the morning person, Mr. Angrya, be said. "There will be news from Alamy tonight that will make them forget about you." "Well, you're to draw the curtains and ask the room, are you not?" It was the morning after the interview just narrated, and Finley, the old better of the Argyle household, glowered upon young Topp, the cockney footman. Bruce Angrya had given orders that the library should be opened and made ready for the reception of Mr. Kayton, and Topp was objecting. "Appen I am." he retorted sullenly. "But do I 'ave to do it alone. Mr. Finley or do I 'ave 'alb? "What alls ye, Topp?" demanded the butter, though he knew well enough. They stood at the open door of the library. "The same thing that's allin' you, likely, growled the footman. "I hain'g'goin' alone into the bloomin' tomb. Finley eyed him in acorn. "Aw, ye' worse than the winnin'. What's to hurt ye? Come on in 'wit ye'." He strode bravely into the gloomy apartment and in the dim light stumbled over a chair. Topp, suppressed a yell, and both stood silvering. "What's that?" demanded the footman in a quivering voice. "It's a chair," responded the butler, striving in vain to speak unconcernedly. "Sit down on it." Topp shook his head and shivered again as he gazed about the darkened, massive room. "I hain't the sort of bloke who sticks at a thing," he declared, "but I don't fancy a room where 'orrors' have appeared." The older man had recovered his police, and he boldly drown back the curtain and opened a window. "Mister Argyle was as good a master as ever lived," he said cheerily. "Why shu'ye be afraid of the place where he died?" "I may have been a good man, Mister Finley—but 'e died a natural death." Finley snorted. "I'm thinkin' yer sinabilities are too refined for yer walk in life. Ye may be called upon to do worse things than to open the winds on tb' scenes of murder—God willn't!" Topp, in the meantime, had opened another window, and the draft from the two caused the door into the hall to swing softly to and shut with a click. Both men wheeled as if a pistol had gone off behind them. "That's 'im!' yelled Topp. And the next instant he was down the hall, almost unputting Bruce Argyle, who was coming to inspect the library. "What's the matter with Topp," he demanded. Old man Finley gulped hard. "It's his nerves, sir." he said unsteadily. "He's got the fear of the room." Young Argyle glanced about uncomfortably. "Oh!" he said slowly. "Let in all the sunlight you can. Finley. There never were windows enough here." He turned to another door that opened into the farther part of the house. "In this door unlocked?" "Not yet, sir." Bruce unlocked it. The door opened immediately into a pretty sunlit morning room, and a soft voice hailed him from the window seat. "Are you there, Bruce?" "Yes. Come in, Nan." In obedience to his summons there entered a dalty, blue eyes damned of about twenty-two, so finely and exquisitely molded that she looked like porcelain. She gave a firm glance about the interior of the room. "Having this room opened." Finley approached. "What time am I to exploit the detective, air? he inquired. "Any time, now," Bruce replied, and Finley withdrew with a bow. "Oh, said the girl doubtfully, 'Do you think he can do anything?' "He's the greatest detective in the country," returned Argyle. "If he can't, nobody can. If we got him at first we wouldn't have had the thing all muddled up the way it is now, with suspicion on me and Mary and—everybody." Miss Thompson shook her head, apparently lost between hopelessness and obstinacy. "I don't believe it'll ever be found out who killed him," she declared. Argyle struggled his abounds impatiently. "If Kayton finds out enough to clear Mary that's all I ask," he said shortly. Instantly the girl's hand was on his arm and her eyes looked up into his troubled face in love and sympathy. "Oh, Bruce, dear," she exclaimed softly, "nobody believes you or Mary had anything to do with it." "Nobody that knows us, of course!" said Argyle gravely. "But what about the people that read the newspapers and don't know us? How is Mary?" "She's wonderful! breathed the girl, 'The way she keeps up! I'd go out of my mind! But she's so strange, Bruce. Bruce hasn't said a word about your father since I came. She simply won't speak of it." Nodded, staring thoughtfully straight out before him. "Mary's always like that," he said. "She never talks about the things that are way deep down in her. The old man knew it. And he liked her for it, I guess. He could quarrel with me, but he could never get a rise out of Mary. She justly kept quiet and—got her own way with him. He never forgave she for refusing to marry her, but he never quarreled with her for refusing to marry me." The girl vehemently possessed herself of his hand. "I'm glad she refused, she whispered. Bruce slipped his arm about his sweetheart's waist and kissed the top of her head. "She understood about you. Nan. she said greatly, 'from the first. And she was doing everything she could to help us with him. If he'd lived she'd have brought him around. He probably moved more for her than for anything else in the world. It's been that way since she was a little girl—ever since she came here to grow." the gift as a reward of kindness and bravery, sensitivity and politely wary nerves and exuded, sort of窒息感less the library. She was a highly compatible, if not highly intelligent, woman whom the older Angela had summoned as a companion to his adopted daughter. "Good morning, Grove," she pasted, bustling over to a window and closing it violently. "I didn't know you were here. Finley tells me that man—that detective—Kayton is coming." "Yes," nodded Bruce. Mrs. Wyatt polled her eyes. She was evidently in a chronic condition of excitement over something that had happened or in agitation over something that was likely to happen. "I think you're perfectly right," she declared, fanning herself with a magazine. "I mean to say those police detectives aren't getting anywhere. Here it's a whole week and we don't know any more than we did at first." "Well, this Kayton is a wonder," said Bruce, preparing to leave. "He'll find some clew that all the other detectives have missed. I've got to go now. Nan. The lawyers have sent for me. I'll be right back." Mrs. Wyatt sighed gustily and gazed clockwise as Bruce disappeared. "You know, Miss Thompson," she said, "this has been my home for twenty years, ever since Mary was taken into the family, but it never will be again. I mean to say I never could feel at home in a house where there'd been a murder. I suppose I'm peculiar, but I never—but it doesn't make any difference whether the room is opened or locked up, I can't go by without feeling it. Do you understand what I mean? I suppose," another sigh—"I suppose Mary'll sell the place. Have you heard anything about it?" "Oh, no!" exclaimed the girl hastily. "Well!" Mrs. Wyatt pursed her lips and breathed even more rapidly. "What do you think of the will?" Miss Thompson looked uncomfortable. "I think it's very unjust, of course," she replied reluctantly. Mrs. Wyatt shook her head darkly. "Mr. Argyle was a very strange man. I don't want to say anything disagreeable about the dead, but it's certainly hard to understand how a man could cut his own son off without a cent and leave a fortune to a girl who is in no way related to him." "I don't believe Mary will let the will stand? interposed Miss Thompson, with the manner of one anxious to turn a disagreeable conversation. "Miss Thompson, I'd say that, too, but money changes people so. I mean to say—take a perfectly fair minded person like Mary, generous to a fault, and you never can tell what money will bring out in them—do you know what I mean?" Miss Thompson was spared the pain of a further discussion of the subject by the resuppression of Finley with the announcement that the detectives had come. Miss Wyatt said she supposed they might as well come right in. "Hadn't we better go?" suggested Miss Thompson after Finley had departed with the instructions. "Yes-yes," agreed Mrs. Wwatt, hastening toward the door. "I don't want to see him. I mean to say—I've seen enough detectives during the past week to last me the rest of my life!" They scurried into the morning room and closed the door behind them just as Kayton and one of his men entered from the hall. Finger Prints FUNLEY followed the two detectives into the somber room and eyed them suspiciously as their glances traveled slowly about taking in every detail of arrangement and furnishings. The general scheme of the room was dark and polluted oak, and since it was lighted from only one of the four sides, as is common in the homes of even the wealthiest in New York, there was always a half gloom that would be restful under ordinary circumstances, but now uncanny. In the decorations and other sitings the plan seemed to have been rather to deepen than lighten this effect. Tables, chairs, decks—all were dark and massive. The upholstery was a tawny yellow that added the appearance of great age. Addrums and other brasses were dulled and heavy, and the few pictures—two or three Barbison landscapes—rang true to the tenor of the great room in their dull gold frames. There was one note of rich color where the reflected light of the day outside shone through the stained glass armorial bearings in the windows, and this only accentuated the depressing effect. Kayton and his assistant, a boyhun young fellow of about twenty-five, took in all of this in a brief but trained scrutiny. Kayton walked to one of the windows, opened it and leaned out far enough to see that the other commanded only the same view. Young Manning, continued to gaze about. Finley remained aloof and suspicious in the background. He was waiting for the detectives to get to work. He did not understand that they were already hard at it. He grew more and more suspicious and contemptuous as the morning went on, for he could not see that the so called great detective did anything more, of even as much, as the regular force that had already been over the ground. And in a way he was correct. It is not what he learns, but the use he makes of what he learns that distinguishes the great artist in detection from the common bungler. By reasoning clearly and unawervingly from the same premises he reaches conclusions that shock the public and the tyr that has preceded him on the work, simply because the latter has not had the common sense to drift with the never-mi-leading current of logic. By the unprecedented application of common sense, this faith in the correctness of simple reasoning, successful defenses of society have been given credit for much spurious profundity, which they are the first to discredit. When they deny that there is anything wonderful about it we murmur that nobody does greatness ever wail hard in hand. It is not modicum. It is the truth.

The Scrap Book One Better. While the late Pritz Thaulow, the distinguished but in artist, was serving his turn on the International jury of awards of the Carnegie Institute provisional for his stay in Pittsburgh were made at a hotel in which the furnishings were most complete and elaborate. The thing that most delighted Thawlow during his stay was the eminent professor furnished for bathing and made to essay by the Pittsburgh atmosphere. Thawlow fairly revealed in his porchroom and matte tub, the test-solated payment and silvered plumbing. One night Mrs Henry Frick had him to dinner. In a full of the conversation he offered to his hostess with the thought appointed in his mind. "You take a both early day?" he blurted. It was admitted "I lost yet" cried Thawlow, with a boy's delight. "I take two." Caring Your Life Chisel to be held and a sculpture to lay, With his hand the stone before him.

"It was to say the least of it," a London letter remarks, "just a little bit awkward that the electric light went out the other evening at the town house of a presumably wealthy widow who had been doing a good deal of political entertaining of late. The guests, to the number of a dozen, had just finished their soup when the unfortunate incident occurred. The scramble to find a sufficient number of candles so that the dinner might proceed was attended with a good deal of difficulty and no little amusement. The butler, who is desirous as being a bit new to his job, was immediately sent off to telephone to the electric company, report the catastrophe and demand immediate attention to the matter. It was a trying moment for the guests when he returned to the dining room and announced in real cockney accent, "Please, my lady, the gentleman what's on the telephone says they sent several warming letters unless the account was paid active steps would have to be taken." — New York Tribune A New Job For Martin Luther. The little woman who occupied a seat close to the lecturer on a rubber neck wagon which was bowling down. Fourteenth street in Washington's one day was curious. She was determined to get her money's worth out of the trip. The wagon was passing the famous statue of Martin Luther, which stands on a triangle near a Lutheran church. "On your left," said the lecturer, as surnaming a pose which would have done credit to Solomon. "Is the statue of Martin Luther." "Who was Martin Luther?" asked the little woman. "Why," replied the lecturer in disdain. "Hey, Dr Luther, the first pastor of this church"—Popular Magazine. Shop to a George Samson, the batter at the 'big house' on the platinum, enjoyed the plums ures of the table as well as his master. He was even supported of taking tid bits from dishes before they were brought to the table, and he had a no tious weakness for roast goose. When, therefore, one day he served the goose with one leg missing the master spike to him sharply. "Where's that other leg, you black, rascal?" he asked. Samson looked at the maimed bird with a great air of innocence. "I don't you know, sah, no goose ain't never got but one leg, sah?" "The devil it hasn't." replied the master. "Yarsh, Ikin show you, sah, if you could spar'd time to come look at 'em" "Show me, then," said the master, riling, "and be quick about it." Samson solemnly led the way to the duck pond. There in the shallow water the geese stood on one leg. "Dar day is, sah," said Samson. "None of our geese has more'n one leg sah." But the master said "Shoo!" and the geese put down both legs and ran away. Samson was not disconcerted. He grinned engagingly. "You ain't said shoo to de geese on do table, sah."—New York Post.

He is a very close friend of Mr. Taft. Karger is from Ohio and served on the reception committee at a dinner given by the Ohio society to Mr. Taft. "Hello, Gus!" joked the president. "Are you one of these Ohio chapels?" "Here!" replied Karger. "I'm the fellow who voted for you out there." "But," persisted Mr. Taft. "I got two votes in Ohio." "Well," said Karger; "the other one was your own"—Saturday Evening Post. THE DEAN AND HIS WIFE. They Gave a Gang of Blackguards an Awful Surprise. In the early part of the nineteenth century Vanxhall garden was the resort of many respectable persons, especially of those who came up from rural England to see London sights. During one season it was infested by a band of roughs, who made it their occupation to insult and molest the most quiet, decent people, especially any whom they guessed to be country visitors. They became such a nuisance that several men about town, among whom were Lord Alranley and Keppel Craven, laid a plot to get rid of them. They hired Mendoza, the famous prizedighter, and dressed him up as a dean, with a shovel hat and apron. Another prizedighter, a short man, was dressed as a middle aged lady and passed as the deme's wife, and one C. W. JACK evening they were seated at Vauxhall in a conspicuous position to watch the fireworks. It was not long before the old fashioned, countried pair attracted the attention of the gang, who insulted them with every kind of coarse railway and insult, all of which they bore very meekly. At length one of the persecutors, growing bolder by impunity, stepped up to the dean and squirted an orange into his eye on this dean, rising, said in a neck, quiet tone, "Really, gentlemen. I have borne a great deal, but I must put a stop to this." With that his hat went one way and his coat another, and, followed by his "wife," he sprang into the middle of the party, hitting out in all directions. Filled with astonishment and terror, some fled and some tried to show fight, but the handling they got from the prizefighters was too severe for the fractions to last long. All the time Lord Alexander and his friends, who were joyously watching the fray, were calling out in delight: "Go it, Mr. Dean! Give it 'em, Mrs. Dean!" An effectual step was thus put to the annoyance—London Spottator. Politeness. There is no polite like politeness, and a good manner is the best thing in the world either to get one a good name or to supply the want of it. Probably the Germ. Mr. Greene was threatened with a contagious disease, and when his little son, Ned, who was of very affectionate disposition, came to embrace him before retiring he said: "Neddie, my boy, you mustn't hug me. You'll catch the scarlet fever." Ned looked at his father in amazemen for a moment. Then he asked: "Say, father, who did you hug?" His Savage Retort. Ordinarily the members of the house are anxious to do anything in their power for their constituents and to be as polite as possible about it. But once in awhile the rule is broken. An office secker was trying to persuade a southern member that as a hard working political lieutenant he should be rewarded with a piece of the government payroll. "There's no use in talking about it." exclaimed the congressman roughly. "You're not competent to fill these jobs up here." The constituent, insulted by the tone more than the matter of the remark, turned immediately to go out of the office. "Walt a minute," called the lawmaker, realizing that he had been impolite and reaching for a printed document on his desk. "Have you read my last speech?" Replied the job seeker, with beautiful contempt. "I hope I have."—Chicago Record-Herald The Kindness of Kansas. A man from Illinois moved into a Kansas community. He was impressed with his own importance, and one night soon after his arrival he found an opportunity to make a speech at a social gathering. He began as follower: "Fellow citizens of my adopted state of Kansas, a few years ago I was a member of the Illinois legislature"— An old farmer rose right here and interrupted. "Of course," he said, "It is right and proper for the new brother to let us know about his past life and what he has done, but I want to say if he has lived a decent and honest life since his term expired nobody round here will throw up the past at him."—Saturday Evening Post. LAUGHTER. How much lies in laughter, the cipher key wherewith we decipher the whole man! Some men wear an everlasting barren slimmer; in the smile of others lies a cold glitter as of ice. The fewest are able to laugh, what can be called laughing, but only sniff and titter and snigger from the throat outward or at best produce some whiffling, husky cathaination, as if they were laughing through wool. Of none such comes good. The man who cannot laugh is not only fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils, but his whole life is already a treason and a stratagem. - Carryllo. REFLECTIONS ON MAN. Our days begin with trouble here; Our life is but a spain, And cruel death is always near, So frail a thing is man - New England Primer. Remember that man's life lies all within the present, as 'tweed but a hear's breath of Hime; as for the rest, the past is gone, the future yet unsear. Short, therefore, is man's life, and narrow is the corner of the earth where he dwells - Marus Aurelius. If a man does not make new acquaintances, as he advances through life he will soon find himself left alone. A man, sir, should keep his friendship in a constant repeat. - Satquet John on Men fear death as children fear to go in the dark, and as that natural fear in children is increased with tales, so is the other—Frisch's Bacon. LABOR For there is a perennial nobleness and even sacredness in work. Were he never so be knighted, forgeful of his high calling, there is always hope in a man that actually and earnestly works. In idleness alone is there perpetual despair. Work, never so manmounish, mean is in communication with nature. The real desire to get work done will itself lead one more and more to truth, to nature's appointments and regulations, which are truth. The latest gospel in this world is, "Know thy work and do it." "Know thy self." Long enough has that poor "self" of thine tormented these. Thou wilt never get to know it, I believe. Think it not thy business, this of knowing thyself. Thou art an unknowable individual. Know what thou canst work at and work at it like a Hercules. That will be thy better plan - Thomas Carlyle. HOME. HOME. If solid happiness we prize, Within our breast this jewel lies, And they are fools who roam. The world has nothing to be stow. From our own selves our joys must flow. And that dear hurt our home. —Nathaniel Cotton Such is the country's boast wherever we roam— His first best country ever is at home. —Oliver Goldsmith. Aye, now I am in Arden—the more fool I. When I was at home I was in a better place, but travelers must be content— Shakespeare. Anacharsis, coming to Athens, knocked at Solon's door and told him that he, being a stranger, was come to be his guest and contract a friendship with him, and Solon replying, "It is better to make friends at home," Anacharsis replied. "Then you that are at home make friendship with me." - Plutarch. TO A CROW. Bold, amiable, elon outlaw, grave and wise. For many a good green year thou hast withstood. By dangerous, planted field and haunted wood. All the devices of thine enemies. Gleaning thy grudged breed with watchful eye. And self relying soul. Come ill or good. Bilthe days, then sweet, thou feathered Rollin Hood! Thou makst a jest of farm land boundaries. Take all thou mayst and never count it crime. To rob the greatest robber of the earth. Weak visioned, dull, self hauling man, whose worth Is in his own esteem. Bide thou thy time. Thou know'st far more of nature's lore than he. And her, wide lap shall still provide for three. —Robert Burns Wilson. Describing a Railroad: The Pall Mall Gazette in 1800 asked its readers to name the worst railway in England. And one English kicker answered thus: "Fair—The Southeastern railway is the very worst railway in the world. The engines are asthmatic. Its lambs are trimmed by foolish virginine. Its horses are excursive. Its car Brown lies in the snow in winter and sees furious in summer. Its motto is supernaturality. Its principal station is approached, through the neck of a bottle. It ruins the temper, destroys the digestion and enables one to realize the horrors of Dante's "Inferno." I am, sir, your obediently, the Worm Who Turns."

Exercise favors the growth of bone and muscle. It quickens the elimination of waste products. It accelerates the work of the liver, the lungs, the skin and the kidneys. It makes more active the brain. It brightens the eye, clears the skin and tones up the whole organism. The appetite is taude keener, and digestion is added by a greater appetite for food. But while exercise is absolutely necessary to health and to a perfect digestion, it does not always achieve this end, as for instance, when it is taken too soon before or after meals. No one should exercise immediately preceding or following a meal, one hour before and two hours after eating, being the better time. It is fairly safe, however, to fix the time preceding a meal at one hour, for the stomach is then somewhat empty. MISTER.

To Remove Superfluous Hair. It is generally conceded that the only way to permanently remove superfluous hair growth from parts of the body where they should not normally exist and which are a source of embarrassment and annoyance, particularly to a woman, when in an exposed part of the skin, is through electrolysis. But when the hairs are very numerous this process is very slow and tedious and the results usually unsatisfactory. Dr. William A. Pusey gives the following advice in such cases: Clip the hair close to the skin with manicure scissors. He gives it as his opinion that this does not stimulate the growth, as shaving of the use of chemical dephilators is likely to do. If the hairy growth is dark it may be rendered less noticeable by frequent peroxide of hydrogen solution applications which bleach the hair, keep it dry and have a tendency to diminish the growth. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. A well known doctor quite no identically discovered that high collars produce nervous head aches among both men and women. He noticed that all his patients who were troubled with headache and giddiness wore a high and rather tight collar, which compressed the neck. When this was removed and not worn for some days the head ache disappeared. It is just the same with women who wear high collars, homes or stuff neck- bands or the high thin collar. If they are troubled with giddiness and headaches they will probably gain immediate relief by changing to a lower and easter fitting collar. Rivers Frozen Solid. During several months of each year some of the great rivers of Siberia are frozen solid to the bottom, but the nashes imprisoned in the ice maintain their vitality and resume their active life when the ice melts in the spring. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. A Safe Cough Remedy. A dose of cool liver oil is a very safe remedy for the ordinary cough. Some coughs arise from a little throat irritation and are generally dry and hacking. Relief can be obtained by dissolving some sugar candy in a little lemon juice, and taking occasionally a teaspoonful. For those who are troubled with a tickling cough we would advise them to carry some glycerin lozenges and take one the moment they feel the least irritation. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Avoid Sore Throat The aliment popularly termed "clergyman's sore throat," due, in many cases, to unwise use of the voice, represents inflammation of the vocal cords, which are folds of membrane contained within the larynx. It is the vibration of these cords, set in operation by currents of air passing from the lungs, which produces the voice. A certain amount of pain and swelling is also associated with troubles of the voice box, this plan in many cases being associated with difficulty in swallowing. Rest of the voice should be strictly observed, while smoking must be strictly prohibited, seeing that the tobacco vapor in an intense irritant of the throat and adjacent parts. If there is much swelling and pain the application of a sponge wrung out of hot water to the front of the larynx will afford relief. The patient should remain in a room the temperature of which is even, but not of too high a character. The food should consist of liquids, including milk, soup and the like, and small pieces of fire may be sucked if the irritation is of acute character.

The means to be adopted to insure recovery are that the patient should live in fresh country air and have a generous diet, including a little meat daily. A little Bungy wine may be taken once or twice daily at meals. The remedy upon which reliance is placed by physicians is, of course, iron, this being administered by way of adding to the red corpuscles of the blood element in which they are efficient. This iron may be given in the shape of the tincture of perchloride of iron or similar preparations to the extent of from ten to fifteen drops twice or three daily in water after meals. Diluted iron is also given in similar doses. In taking any tonic which con- tains iron it must be remembered that iron has a very bad of- fect on the tooth, tending to tame them black, and for this reason the medicine or tonic should be taken through a glass tube. There is no especial diet for annemia, but those suffering from it should eat nourishing foods, such as red meats, rare roast beef, potatoes, peas, corn, plenty of bread and butter and drink milk and other fattening substances.

Who Died In Hospital After an Operation. ```markdown ``` General E. Burd Grubb Dies. General E. Burd Grubb, former United States minister to Spain, and for the last two years superintendent of the New Jersey Home for Disabled Soldiers, at K earney, died at St Michael's hospital in Newark, N. J. General Grubb had been in the hospital for three weeks, and recently underwent an operation for a cataract. He recovered from the operation, but later contracted pneumonia. Mrs. Grubb was at the bedside of her husband when the end came and is prostrated as the result of her constant attendance. Before becoming superintendent of the soldiers' home General Grubb had made his home in Edgewater Park N. J. where at one time he had amassed great wealth as an from founder. Some years ago his fortune dwindled away. General Grubb was born in Burlington, N. J., in 1841. He had just left school in that city when the Civil War broke out, and he responded to President Lincoln's first call for volunteers. He was sergeant of Company C. Third New Jersey Volunteers, for a few months, when he was advanced to the rank of second lieutenant. In November, 1861, he became first lieutenant of Company D. He served throughout the war from Bull Run until Lee's encampment at Appomattox and earned a record for bravery on many occasions. He was on the staff of General John McCormack and of General Taylor. STRIVE AND WAIT. Strive, yet I do not promise The prize you dream of today Will not fade when you think to grasp it And melt in your hand away, But another and holler treasure You would now perchance disdain Will come when your toll is over And pay you for all your pain. Wait, yet I do not tell you The hour you long for now Will not come, with its radiance vanished And a shadow upon its brow. Yet far through the misty future, With a crown of starry light, An hour of joy you know not Is winging her silent flight. —Adelaide A. Procter. DRESS AND MANNERS. Good manners to those one does not love are no more a breach of truth than "your humble servant" at the bottom of a challenge is. They are universally agreed upon and understood to be things of course. Any affectation whatsoever in dress implies in my mind a flaw in the understanding. Dress yourself fine where others are fine and plain where others are plain, but take care always that your clothes are well made and fit you, for otherwise they will give you a very awkward air. Good manners are to particular society what good morals are to society in general—their cement and their security.—Lord Chesterfield. CONFUCIAN MAXIMS. The path of duty lies in what is near, and men seek for it in what is remote. The work of duty lies in what is easy, and men seek for it in what is difficult. Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles. Good leads men to tranquil security. For one word a man is often deemed to be wine, and for one word she is often deemed to be foolish. We ought to be careful indeed in what we say. Let me not say that heaven is high above alone me. It ascends and descends about our dolom. It daily imparts us wherever we are.

Put your blankets in this and rinse them up and down and rub them and squeeze them through the hands. Unless there are very bad spots do not rub them on the board. After they have been treated in this way until you are sure that they are fairly clean put them in another tub of water the same temperature to which you have added the three quarts of soapy water and go through the same treatment as you did at first. Take them out and put them into still another tub of water the same temperature and add to this water the remaining quart of soap. Never rinse blankets in clear water. Put them through the wringer and hang them up to dry in a rather warm place—in the sun if possible. Pull and straighten them into shape. If they are very fine blankets quite a good way to dry them is to put them on a curtain frame and stretch them down; otherwise you must be very careful to stretch them and pull them straight by hand. Never put anything made of wool into very hot water, as it fulls and thickens it. If you have cotton quilts "like mother used to make" these can be laundered very easily if you have a washing machine (and surely every woman who has a large family should have one). Use the same soapy water made a little stronger than was given for washing the blankets and put them in the machine and rinse them in clear cold water. Meanings of Dyka "Dyke" has even more divergent meanings than ditch in Lincolnshire and bank in Holland. In Scotland it means a low wall or fence of turf or unmortgaged stones, and in some parts of northern England a "dyke" is a hedge. Yet there are other northern districts where it is a pond. Originally, in English at any rate, "dyke" or "dike" and "ditch" both mean what ditch still means to us, but as the digging out of a ditch necessarily involves the raising of a mound with the dyk We have a supply of Fine Commencement Folders for Graduates of our Educational & Hospital Institutions.

MULHALL SHOWS LONG BLACK LIST Confessed Lobbyist Tells of His Political Relations With Prominent Men. The examination of Martin M. Mulhall, the former lobbyist of the National Association of Manufacturers, before the senate lobby investigating committee in Washington brought out a memorandum which Mulhall said was a "black list" of congressmen. Mulhall thought it had been prepared by former Representative Watson. It follows: "Watson! Here's a list for you to knock out! Chandler, Mississippi; Hamlin, Missouri; Danforth, New York; Payne, New York; Lever, South Carolina; Graham, Illinois; Lobec, Nebraska;" Beall, Texas; Stephens, John H. Texas; Bowman, C. C., Pennsylvania; Lloyd, Missouri; Clark, Missouri; Humphreys, Mississippi; Carter, Oklahoma; Brantley, W. G.; Hull, Tennessee; Bulkley, Ohio; Burgess, Texas;" Towner, Iowa; Pocht, Pennsylvania; Gardner, Massachusetts; Henry George, Jr., New York; Henry, R. L. Texas; Hinds, Maine; Lindbergh, Minnesota; Rees, R. R. Kansas; Reilly, T. L. Connecticut; Foster, Vermont." The political success of the National Association of Manufacturers in 1907 caused it to decide to play a part in the selection of a president the following year, according to a letter written by Fred C. Schwedtman, secretary to the late James W. Van cleave, president of the association, to Colonel M. M. Mulhall. In other letters it was indicated that Colonel Mulhall, as agent of the manufacturers, had close political relations with Governor Haines, of Maine; Representatives Bartholdt and Cowdrey, of Missouri, and that the association was instrumental in defeating Tom L. Johnson for re-election as mayor of Cleveland. Mulhall was examined on Letters written in 1907 to the late James W. Van Cleave, president of the National Association of Manufacturers. One from the late Vice President Sherman, then a member of the house, arranged for a meeting with Van Cleave and Mulhall in New York on July 20, 1907. In a letter to Mr. Sherman on July 16 Mulhall wrote: "I have just returned from the west and I feel that I have put the ball-rolling in Indiana so that it will help Mr. Watson to renomination." Fred C. Schwedtman, secretary to Van Cleave, wrote Mulhall on Aug. 9, 1907: "There are some large things brewing and there is every indication that in our tariff campaign we have with us the majority of the Republican congressmen and senators and men higher up than that, too." Schwedtman wrote to Mulhall Sept. 5, 1907, bringing in the name of former President Taft, then secretary of war. "You saw, of course, where Secretary Taft referred to the National Association of Manufacturers at great length in his Columbus address. If we succeed in getting the council plans thoroughly established then our power for good will grow right along until next year during the presidential campaign we will be a factor of national importance that cannot be overlooked." Senator Reed wanted to know more about the association's tariff and reciprocity activities. "The National Association of Manufacturers created and solely created the tariff commission," declared Mulhall. Mulhall explained that while Marshall Cushing was secretary of the association the greatest efforts were made to conduct political maneuvers secretly. Men were referred to by numbers. Mulhall was No. 11. Congressman Littlefield No. 8 and Sherman No. 9. In 1697, at the direction of Van Cleve, Mulhall went to Maine to make a complete canvass of the Republican political situation. Before this Mulhall had been in St. Louis, Mo. to aid in breaking a strike in the Blue Ribbon shoe factory. Thomas J. Lyons, Republican, of Augusta, Me., who co-operated with Mulhall in electing Congressman Littlefield, received the first certificate of character the witness has bestewed. "I think he was absolutely honest," said Mulhall. "He was not in my employ." letter to W. D. Sayles, of Cleveland, O.. dated July 16, 1907., showed that the Manufacturers' association was prepared to aid in a campaign to defeat Mayor Tom L. Johnson for reelection in Cleveland. Mulhall was in Cleveland doing political work during the Johnson campaign of 1907. "I went there at the direction of the National Association of Manufacturers, and we beat Johnson," explained Mulhall. --- What Kills the Negro. (Times-Dispatch, Richmond, Va. July 12, 1913.) In a recent editorial The Times-Dispatch voiced a solemn warning about the Negro death rate. This warning has been repeated, and emphasized in the Richmond PLANET, a newspaper for Negroes. It misinterpret our statement that the real fight for health is not against temporary increases of the death rate for local causes. The fight for health means to fight everywhere to save human life, but the big campaign must be made against fundamental and persistent sources of disease. The PLANET fails to appreciate what The Times-Dispatch has done, when its editor questions our agitation about the typhoid scare and accuses us of inactivity about the increased death rate. Any unprejudiced person who will read the files of The Times-Dispatch for the past years will find a steady battle for the Negro and improved conditions. Good health is one of our main demands for a better Virginia. Since then, we agree as to the gravity of the menace of this slowly vanishing race, let us get to business to remedy conditions. It is plain that the excess of Negro deaths above the national average is due to three combined causes: a general weakening of racial vitality under modern conditions; the pressure of economic and social conditions from the outside upon the Negro and the failure of the race to take action to preserve its own numbers and health. We quote The PLANET to show how the city and the whites fall to unguarded the Negro: "There are not enough sewers, the drainage is defective, the crematory and ash dumps are within smelting distance and regularly send up their perfumes during the sultry nights of a torrid summer. "In this section, too, decayed fruit and vegetables and other eatables, sold at low prices, attract the poverty stricken, and they eat and die. Hundreds of colored people, too proud to beg and too honest to steal, deny themselves of the necessities of life and drag out a wretched existence from day, to day until tired nature will stand no more, and they are found stiff and stark in death." In brief, the housing and living conditions of the Negro are undermining his strength. The civic conscience is not awake to the duty we owe this part of our community. We also asked what the Negro is doing to promote health work in his race. The PLANET hits the nail on the head in these sentences: "We people composing the colored race should propound the same question to ourselves. Our numerous societies and organizations should create a fund not only to investigate these conditions, but to help our own people who are suffering and dying in our midst. The white people can do much for us, but we can do much more for ourselves." Knowledge, education, a just pride—these can help the Negro to help himself. This grave problem can only be solved by the unselfish cooperation of both races. Economic necessity and every tender sentiment of a humane people demand that we give the Negro a square deal, put him in proper surroundings, and then help him to overcome his own weakness and realize his possibilities. Leesburg, Va.—On last Sunday, July 6th, Washington, D. C. lived through a perfectly dry day as the result of the Sunday law which went into effect on the day and President Wilson, although absent must have smiled broadly in satisfaction. However, everybody had the dry grins and this more or less evened things up—a glance in passing. Over near Warrenton a house was struck by lightning last week and a Maltese kitten had every hair taken off its body. This might be termed a close shave or a hair breadth escape. On Friday eve a hall game was played between Leesburg and Middlesburg—a double header. First game 10 to 6 in favor of Middlesburg, second game, 10 to 1 in favor of Leesburg. Mr. Joseph Abso, who has been in the hospital for several weeks died this evening, Saturday. He will be buried from Mount Zion M. E. Church of which he was a member, Monday, at 3:30 o'clock. Mr. Thomas L. Roberson of Washington was visiting his brother and sister Sunday. A sister of Mr. Edward Fox, Mrs. Toliver and daughter-in-law of Washington were in town yesterday, visiting her brother, Mr. Sdw, Fox. At Providence Baptist Church Sunday, Rev. Dr. E. D. Tyler ascended the stand at eleven o'clock. Ater hymn 712, 866 division of Psalms was read. Prayer by Bro. W. J. Glenn, Hymn 569. Subject. The Evil of Icelocation. Text. Prov. 18, 15th verse. How we enjoyed his discourse. Prayer by Bro. Charles Randall, our licentiate. S. S. reconvened at 2:30. At S. o'clock sharp the Reverend was again at his post. 41st Ezekiel was read Subject. The Word of God. Oh, how our hearts burned while he talked. We were held spellbound for 30 minutes. Rev. Richardson of Washington, the great moving picture show man, was with us to give a show on Monday night. He also gave us quite a little talk. While the church was in session, the sad news came to us of the sudden death of Mrs. Arch Wetzelton, an amabil woman, sister and friend. She leaves a husband, son, three or four sisters and a host of friends to mourn their loss. Thank God, our loss is her eternal gain. We hear Rev. Dr. S. P. is improving. Rev. Dr. M. D. Williams, we are told, isn't any better. - Subscribe to The Richmond PLANET. $1.50 per year.

J., July 14.—Mr. Editor, perhaps you like myself have sat in some church and joined in singing that good old hymn, "Let the lower lights be burning" and in so doing have thought of the gleams of light sent from our Light House and I guess one may find more of such houses along the Jersey shore than elsewhere. Light Houses for the guidance of mariners are nearly as old as civilization. The first recorded one was the tower of Pharos of Alexandria, built nearly three centuries ago. The oldest existing one is at Corunna, Spain. It was built in the reign of Trojan and was reconstructed in 1634. But some other light houses have been since built, one of them is the Brunswick Inn, which is located along the beachway here. It is in charge of a heroine who today is doing much to cheer the hearts of heat-striken folks, by giving them good healthy food and plenty of it, and sweet clean airy rooms in which to sleep. Many a man has been almost tempted to swear, when entering a dark room at night, tumbling in his pockets for a match, which he has not got, in order to make a light. But among the things that send a gleam of cheer to the hearts of the guests of the Brunswick Inn, is that no matches are needed. Every room is lighted by electricity. Should you enter one of them in the dark, all you have to do is to turn a switch—you don't even have to say, "Let there be light" and yet you have it. Indeed its a heaven on earth to find a cool spot these hot Summer days and yet you can find it if you write to Mrs. Bowwell, Brunswick Inn Wildwood, N. J. and engage board and lodging at her light house along the shore. $3,000 RALLY. Moore St. Baptist Church's Great Day, Sunday, July 20, 1913.
