TO WOODROW WILSON. President of the United States. Dear Mr. President: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its Board of Directors, respectfully protests against the policy of your Administration in segregating the colored employees in the Departments at Washington. It realizes that this new and radical departure has been recommended, and is now being defended on the ground that by giving certain bureaucra or sections wholly to colored employees they are thereby rendered safer in possession of their offices and are less likely to be ousted or discriminated against. We believe this reasoning to be fallacious. It is based on a failure to appreciate the deeper significance of the new policy; to understand how far reaching the effects of such a drawing of caste lines by the Federal Government may be, and how humiliating it is to the men thus stigmatized. Never before has the Federal Government discriminated against its civilian employees on the ground of color. "Every such act heretofore has been that of an individual State. The very presence of the Capitol and of the Federal flag has drawn colored people to the District of Columbia. In the belief that living there under the shadow of the National Government itself they were safe from the persecution and "discrimination" which follow them elsewhere because of their dark skins. Today they learn that, though their ancestors have fought in every war in behalf of the United States, in the fifth year after Gettysburg and Emancipation, this Government founded on the theory of complete equality and free dom for all citizens, has established two classes among its civilian employees. It has not the colored apart as if mere contact with them were contamination. 4 5 The efficiency of their labor, the principles of scientific management are disregarded, the possibilities of promotion it not now will soon be severely limited. To them is held out only the prospect of mere subordinate routine service without the stimulus of advancement to high office by merit, a right deemed inviolable for all white natives as for the children of the foreign born, of Italian, French and Russians, Jews and Christians who are now entering the Government service. For to such limitation this segregation will inevitably lead. Who took the trouble to ascertain what our colored clerks thought about this order, to which their consent was never asked? Behind screens and closed doors they now sit apart as though lepros. Men and women alike have the badge of Inferiority pressed upon them by Government decree. How long will it be before the hateful epithets of "nigger" and "Jim Crow" are openly applied to these sections? Let any one experienced in Washington affairs, or any trained newspaper correspondent answer. The colored people themselves will tell you how soon sensitive and high minded members of their race will refuse to enter the Government service which thus decrees what is to them the most hateful kind of discrimination. Indeed, there is a wide spread belief among them that this is the very purpose of these unwarrantable orders. And wherever there are men who rob the Negroes of their votes, who exploit and degrade and insult and lynch those whom they call their inferiores, there this mistaken action of the Federal Government will be cited as the warrant for new racial outrages that cry out to high Heaven for redress. Who shall say where discrimination once begun shall cease? Who can deny that every act of discrimination the world over breeds fresh injustice? For the lowly of all, classes you have lifted up your voice and not in vain. Shall ten millions of our citizens say that their civil liberties and rights are not safe in your hands? To ask the question is to answer it. They desire a "New Freedom," too, Mr. President, yet they include in that term nothing else than the rights guaranteed them by the Constitution under which they believe they should be protected from persecution based upon a physical quality with which Drine Providence has endowed them They ask therefore that you, born of a great section which prides itself upon its chivalry towards the humble and the weak, prevent a gross injustice which is an infliction upon the less because it was not intended in some manner by a man.

With its pleasant sun and dew; When the wintry fogs and storms depart, And the sun smiles thru the blue. When verdure springs from the warming earth And hark! on every hand Sweet music swells from the flowers and trees, And gladdens all the land. You may have all the joys of Summer; From toll and study free. To smiling fields and shady groves. Fair Pleasure beckons me. You may have all the joys of Winter. With its jolly holidays, its consting parties, skating crowds, its jingling merry alights. When Santa Claus on the Xmas tree, Hangs happiness for all: And laughter from young happy hearts Hings merrily thru the hall. Take all these joys and welcome. But give me the Autumn days. When the gentle sun shoots down aslant. His golden, mellow rays. His golden, mellow rays. When the lazy breezes sink to rest. And up to the clear, blue skies. The shimmering heat from the meanders round. Like holy incense rise. In the Autumn days, when Plenty reigns. How the merry farmer sings. As loads of golden fruits and grains. To his crowded barn he brings. Tis then that the soul looks up to God. In kindness and praise. For life and health and bountyous store.— Yea, give me the Autumn days. —JIENRY ALLEN LAINE. Gabe E. Parker Nominated for Reg ister of the Treasury. (Indianapolis, Ind. Freeman.) President Wilson evidently tried to pass something to the colored race in the name of the Democracy when he nominated Adam E. Patterson, of Oklahoma, a few days ago, for the register of the treasury. But he was driven from his position by the protest of the rabid anti-Negro members of Congress and prominent men of that section. In compliance with the demand the President withdrew the name of Mr. Patterson, naming in his stead Gabe E. Parker, Choctaw Indian, Mr. Parker had the endorsement of both Senators from that State, Oklahoma, also that of the delegation in the lower house. Under the circumstances, the unanious indorsement of Mr. Parker it is strange that Mr. Patterson was even given consideration. At any rate Mr. Wilson has proven friendly; he has done what he promised. The President is merely President and not the whole show. Lack of grit may be charged up to him, but realer he had no chance to exhibit the Roosevelt tenacity. --- "Moon-shine" Whiskey in Danville. Danville, Va., Aug. 19.—A new record for hasty convictions was established here this afternoon when George Stanley, a colored laborer, fifteen minutes after selling a farmer a quart of whiskey illegally was arrested, tried and sentenced to thirty days in jail and to pay a $50 fine. "That sure was quick work," ruminated Stanley as he sat on his pallet in a cell. At 1 o'clock a farmer was soon to enter the colored man's house by an officer. A few minutes later the farmer emerged with a bottle and told the officer that he had purchased the liquor there. Both the colored man and the principal witness was taken to the courthouse, not far distant. The farmer asked for a speedy disposition of the case. The Mayor was in his office and after asking the man if he was ready for trial, and receiving an affirmative answer, he convened court at once. The man pleaded guilty and sentence was entered against him fifteen minutes after he had made the sale. Shattered His Jaw. C. F., Poindexter, a white brakeman employed by the C. and O. R.

WHERE SHALL I SEND MY BOX Parents are asking themselves that question at this time and, perhaps, a few suggestions may be appropriate here. First, you want to select a school where is a healthy moral atmosphere—one where no effort is made to influence the student's religious opinion for or against any denomination but where the highest Christian standards are maintained—where the study of the Bible, and divine service are a part of the student's daily life. Second, you want to make sure that the school to which you send you child is up to standard in its academic course—that the time a boy spends there is going to be worth while and that the course of study and instructors are strictly first class. Third, you want to make sure that the school is prepared to teach something more than what is found in books, in other words, to teach a boy a useful trade so that he may become a productive member of society. The above three thinks are absolutely essential in a school of today because they are the very base of our conception of what education must do for the individual of this generation—Training the head to know, the hands to skill and the heart to respond to right motives. Having settled the above points in your mind, you will want to know next, how much will it cost? Clearly one must select a school where the cost is within the limits of one's means. And in this confection if you can find where provision is made for a student to help himself by working out a part of his expenses you will naturally want to do so. We suggest that you write to the Principal of the Christlansburg Industrial Institute, Cambrila, Va. This school has the following things to be made of it which should claim your consideration: 1. It is non-rectarian, but is thoroughly christian. Maintained and managed by Quakers, which is a guarantee that it has high ideals. 2. It gives a thorough academic course from grades through the Normal. 3. It has in active operation the following industries with a component instructor for each: printing, carpentry, shoe-mending, agriculture, sowing, cooking and millinery. Each department fully equipped. 4. All students may work out some of their expenses, and some students can work out all of their expenses. Write to the Principal for terms of admission. Catalogue sent on request. Address. Principal. Christiansburg Industrial Institute. Cambria, Va. Most colored people like to look right and they know they cannot with scanty hair.

Says Patron Asking Ten Thousand Dollars, Did It Himself. New York: August 21.—"Who put a mouse into a plate of beef stew? That is the question the Supreme Court soon will, be called upon to decide. Jerome Smith brought a suit for $10,000 damages sometime ago against the Childs Restaurant Company, in which he claimed he was served with a plate of beef stew containing a well-cooked mouse. The Childs Company; through its attorney, Chester H. Lane, of 253 Broadway, yesterday filed an answer in which it was alleged the plaintiff put the mouse in the stew himself after eating a part of the food. The answer is as savory as was the complaint. It says: "Upon information and belief that at about 9:15 P. M. on July 9, 1918, the plaintiff was served; at his request, with a cup of coffee and beef stew, which stew was properly prepared, cooked and served, and which at the time of serving did not contain a mouse or part thestew; and that the plaintiff had eaten a condimentation of salt stew then plaintiff self placed the mouse complete in the said stew." A Novelization by J. W. McOconghy of the Successful New Play by Harriet Ford, Harvey J. O'Higgins and, Detective William J. Burns, in Which Robert Hillard is Appearing :: :: Copyright 1925 by Journal-American- Dictionar. SYNOPSIS James Argyle, wealthy and eccentric, is being shot dead in the library of his New York home. He is likely son, Jerrice, an artist and husband, Mirei Mary Maruret, are suspected. Anne Kayton, a detective of repub, is in charge in. He is given carte blanche as to espionage and told to run down the murders. The library where Mr. Argyle was not is opened. Kayton and his assistant, Manning arrest the Argyle manhunt. They question Pintin, the fingerprints in the hope of finding a clew. The detectives find a woman's fingerprints on the library table. Mrs. Wyatt, his Masuret's companion, tells Kayton that the girl's mother was a Nailie March of San Francisco. Kayton learns from the servants that Masuret was awake and about at time the girl was killed. In the dead man's desk he finds an unusually fine counterfeit 100 bill. Susie Argyle comes in. she tells Kayton of the events of the evening before the murder. Rejectantly he admits to having some one in the upper hall on him. Miss Masuret pale and born enters. Miss Mazuret unwillingly tells Kayton that she had heard angry voices late that night and had thought that firing and his father were quarrelling. She admits that she knew of the will being in her favor. Miss telephones Chief Wikitek of the United States Department of the mysterious counterfeit. Later he insists in a "take" advertisement in one of the newspapers in the house of locating Nellie Marsh. Hurley calls on Kayton in his office and enquires about the "take" advertisement. He is told it concerns a large legacy for Kayton, and informs Kayton that Nellie Marsh had been in prison with her husband, a Dr. Kreisler, the head of a band of counterfeiters. Mrs. Marsh answers the "take" advertisement in person. She is known as Mrs. Martin, she tells Kayton, and keeps furious fingerprints and then arranges with her to take Miss Mazuret as a roomer. Miss Mauret is told that Mrs Martin's finger prints are identical with those on the library table. With some apprehension the girl goes with her, Kayton and the next sight. Before the counterfeiters return they install a diograph. Thus Kayton goes to Miss Mauret's room. Returning to the house, Mrs Martin pleads with her husband, Dr. Kreisler, to give up his civil profession. He refuses, but says that if he is taken again he will himself hurry entered, upstairs and be arrested. Kayton makes many damaging admissions, which the diograph records. Kayton appears on the scene in the absence of the others and pleads with Mrs Martin to fly with Miss Mauret. She refuses. Kreisler returns and threatens Kayton, whose personality is now known to him. Kayton ignores Kreisler's invoked weapon. Even as he speaks they bear Kayton's name in the hall below. Kreisler, among all is lost, turns his revolver on him. By a ruse Kayton at last forces Mrs. Martin to admit that Hurley was responsible for the death of the boy. She says a last goodbye to Miss Masuret, who remains in ignorance of her real Mortity. Kayton then has a few words to the burress of the Aryle millions. CHAPTER XIV. After the Raid THERE were columns about it in the morning papers, but beastate reporter saw any con section between the "unearth ing of the most gigantic counterfeiting plot in history" and the Argyle mur der. None knew that Miss Mazurde had been in the house. Gage, Skidl and Mrs Martin were incompleme d the latter too numb and dazed to tell even if she could have been approach ed. As a special favor to Kayton she was held under his orders to be taken to his office when wanted in the morning. Kayton appeared as fresh and clean abaved and immaculate as was his wont. He heard the final reports of the nights work from his various alds disgusted them out for breakfast, of dered the stenographer to hustle with the dieterographer and sent for Manning. The young man entered, eating his morning apple. "Hurley's all right, governor," was his greeting. "He's down in his of face." "Nervous?" queried his chief, with a faint smile. "Oh, see!" murmured Manning. "He got up all right and had a big breakfast ordered and then saw the paper—and he didn't eat a bite. He poked back to his room and packed his little bag. Then he read the papers again and unpacked it. We went down on the 'L' with him, and he passed his street, and we thought he was going to beat it, but I guess he was so worried he forgot his station. He's writing in his office now with his ear to the ground." --- Kaytes smiled. "Let's start a little variable for him, Joe." he said, picking up the telephone receiver. "Got me Murray. We've got to find out who this Burley is, Joe, and get his re- cord." He saw over some typewritten pages that the man dropped nobellessly at the water and grinned. got an iced up in the marked glistening down "According to him, I'm a Marykay. "According to him, I'm a plaid." "He has a great sense of humor, governor," Manning assured him solemnly. "He laughed so hard just night that he nearly split the dictograph." Keyton laughed and then suddenly frowned for silence. "Hello, Mr. Hurley," he said cheerfully into the phone. "I think I've obtained a clew on your Argyle case. Drop in and see me this morning. can you? Yes, I like to consult you. It's too confidential for the telephone. All right. Thanks." He hung up the receiver, laughing alently. "Joe, go to the hotel and get Miss Mazurek," he said quickly. "Don't go to the desk. Go to the telephone girl—she's all right—and send my name up. Get her out without attracting any attention, and bring her right down here." "All right, governor!" Manning, and he hurriedly slouched out. Kayton sent for Leischmann and gave him some particular instructions in connection with the last page of the diograph report and the specimen of Mrs. Martin's signature as "Nello Marsh" that he had in his desk. "Look here," he said. "I want you to type in above the name—there! you see—as if it were the final page of her confession—the usual thing before a notary public, and have two of the boys sign right down here and put on a couple of wafers. Make it Page 0. M. M. statement." "Yes, sir," said Leischmann and added as he withdrew, "Mr. Coit has come." "Oh!" Kayton, chuckled. "See if he has Mrs. Martin with him. If he has send her in, and tell him I'll see him later." Unconsciously Kayton drew himself together, and his muscles stiffened as the door of the outer office opened, and Mrs. Martin walked into the sanctum. She had dressed herself with a care that only accentuated the glintness of her appearance—the fathy whiteness of her face and the madness of anguish in her dark eyes. Slowly and deliberately as an automaton, she advanced to the desk, her eyes fixed with deadly intensity on Kayton's impositive face. "God!" she exhibited at last in a low, passionate voice, in which utter hate and utter despair were strangely blended. "God! I swish I'd let him kill you." Kayton met her terrible eyes as calmly as if she had wished him a pleasant good morning. "What good would that have done?" he asked quickly. "If I hadn't caught you one also would. You were playing a game that you couldn't win. You knew that. You said so. You told him last night that every prison in the world waited for him." The woman turned away with a groan and sank weekly into a chair. "He's dead. How dead?" also mounced. "There was nothing for him to do but kill himself." said Kayton, as quietly as before. "Why, he killed himself when he went into this thing. The government would never have let him out. He'd have been buried alive." Mrs. Martin choked and shook her bead whimily, as if struggling for breath. "Oh," she cried distractedly, "let me alone—let me alone" Kayton gave her a look of pity. "I would if I could, Mrs. Martin," he said gently, with unmistakable sincerity. "I had to make you a good deal of trouble. I'd like to give you a little help now, if I can." He paused a moment and studied the worn face before him. "I can clear you of the charge against you in the counterfeiting case," he went on in the same quiet matter of fact way, "but I want you to tell me everything—all that you know of the Argyle case." Mrs. Martin drew in her breath with a gasp, leaned forward and gripped the edge of the desk with both hands. "Why do you say that to me?" she eried excitedly. "Why do you pretend I know anything about that?" Kayton, too, leaned forward until there was a scant eighteen inches between his cold, face and her trembling, twitching mask. "Because, after Mr. Argyle's fall," he said swiftly, "dangling off the table-cloth, you were leaning forward—as you are now—holding on to the table with both hands." And, reaching over quickly, he tapped her wrists smartly and leaned back. Like one in the numb horror of nightmare, Mrs. Martin slowly pulled herself to her feet. "What?" she whispered. "Kayton cookly took some sheets of paper from the top drawer of his desk and hold them out for her sermining. "These are the finger prints you left on the table that night," he said coolly. "They compile with the ones you left here on my blotter." She dropped heavily back into the chair with an inarticulate moan. "This," added Kayton slowly, with a stern gaze, "this is jury proof of complicity." The woman looked at him dully, stolidly, for all the suddenness of his attack. "You can't prove it" she cried booeryly. "I had nothing to do with it—nothing." "To prove that," returned Kayton coolly, "you will have to confess who did it." "You can do what you like!" she broke out wildly. "I don't care! I don't care! It doesn't matter!" "It matters to an innocent girl!" declared Kayton sternly. "Your daughter's life is ruined unless we can clear her from this charge." The woman choked, closed her eyes and pressed her elbow hands against her bowed chin. For the first time tears crept from under her epilisis. "And yet," Kayton apoke with infinitely gentle reproach—"you refused to do anything for her." She started and threw out her hands in a gesture of ostentacy and despair. "I don't want her to know me!" I don't want to know her! she erased. "I'm doomed for an ashe in entombed." "If you go on the stand as the enemy," grinned Kayton. "more tears." can be absolutely proficient. Your daughter need never know any more about you then she does today." "You don't need me to clear her," she protected desperately. "You know A man is seated on a bench, reading a book. "This is jury proof of complicity," he said. she didn't do it. You know it was some one else. Why don't you find him yourself—without me? Leave me alone! Leave me out of it!" Kayton's figure and his expression relaxed. He nodded in the friendliest fashion. "You needn't say any more, Mrs. Martin," he assured her quietly. "What do you mean by that?" she demanded, with a new dread. "You have told me what I wanted to know," replied Kayton. "How—what?" "You have told me it was not Dr. Kreisler," he answered to the unspoken question. "You wouldn't risk going to the electric chair to protect a dead man!" "You can't frighten me with that!" She whirled upon him furiously. "I had nothing to do with it, and you know it! You know who did it! You want me to make a confession to hang him with, and I won't do it! I won't do it!" Kayton opened the door of an ante room as the telephone buzz sounded. "Wait here a little," he said gently. "I may need you presently, even if you are unwilling to help me." Manager Leibschmann on the telephone announced some important arrivals in the outer office. Mr. Burley, alias Mazure and Bruce, Mrs. Wyatt and Miss Thompson. The last party was the first received, and after a happy reunion and much excited explanation Kayton bundled them into one of the consultation rooms that opened off his sanctum, obtained a few necessaries from Manling, who was in the outer office, and then he was ready for the lawyer. As for that worthy, he did not enter with his wonted manner of pushing everything out of the way. He was almost reluctant, and his eyes were troubled. Kayton apparently indicted nothing of this, and his greeting was as cordial as ever. "Well, I'm very busy this morning. Mr. Kayton," he replied, in response to the detective's inquiry as to how he did. "But I wanted to oblige you. What was the clew?" he inquired. He did not settle himself comfortably in a chair and light a cigar. He remained standing above the desk. Kyatton was busy with his papers some of which partly concealed the metal contents of a little pastboard box. "It's a little better than a clew," he replied at last cheerfully, looking up "I think we've got the man that killed Argyle." Mr. Hurley was paler than usual and any one looking for signs would have noticed that more of the scant color left his face. "Well, well," he began slowly. "Sit down," interrupted Kyatton with a hospitable wave of his hand toward the chair where Mrs. Martin had sat. But Mr. Hurley did not immediately纵身 allude of the offer. His lips had gone dry, and he moistened them be fore he asked: "Ab! Who is it? Who is it?" "Sit down and I'll tell you," replied Kayton lightly. The lawyer slowly sank into the chair, never taking his eyes off Kayton's face. The latter swung his chair around so as to directly face his visitor. "Mr. Hurley, he inquired pleasantly, 'did you ever try a lawsuit?' Mr. Hurley started and stammered slightly as he answered: "I'm—er—I am an office lawyer." "Oh! murmured Kayton. He eyed the lawyer, and the lawyer stirred uneasily. "Mr. Hurley, saeked the detective quietly, 'when did it first occur to you that Mr. Argyle was out of his mind?' Mr. Hurley raised his eyes and met the detective's squarely. "I don't get you," he said slowly. "You will," was the grim assurance. "You sure didn't think you'd interest a man in his position—a millionaire—in a scheme for promoting counterfeiting if he was in his right mind." Mr. Hurley was silent for a moment but he no longer looked disconcerted. He knew now why he had been brought to Kayton's office. He gripped himself to fight for his life. "Any business affairs that Mr. Argyle intrusted to me were private and confidential," he said, very deliberately. "I can't discuss them. Mr. Kayton you forget that I am a lawyer." I don't forget it—I don't believe it. reported Kaston. Kayton handed him the last page of the fake confession. "Do you know that signature?" he required. With a hand that tremble not the slightest the lawyer adjudicate his哼喊 and studied the down row. "he said in the morning public condemned the thief deeply, 'where you pushed your bag, we occupied your brains but kept still committed all these men would almost accept the bill that had been贴 with Mr. Angry. I demanded him. Martin to do what she could for herself by making a complete statement of the facts so she knew them and you will be sorry to hear that the condemnation of what occurred between you and Mr. Angry in the library that night charges you with murder." As if he had paid but scant attention to 'Kayton's words, the lawyer towed the paper back on to the desk. "It's a lie" he said coolly. "That'll all a fake—to protect herself." "Then you mean to say that Mr. Martin was responsible for the death of Mr. Angry!" demanded Kayton swiftly. "That's exactly what I mean to say," returned Mr. Hurley. "I had no connection with those people whatever except professionally for Mr. Angyle. I was retained by him"— he hesitated "For what purpose" demanded Kayton. "For a perfectly legitimate purpose," replied the lawyer. "This woman thought she had a claim on Mr. Angyle—she was trying to get money"— "Claim" interrupted Kayton. "What sort of a claim?" K KAYTON laughed—a short, unpleasant laugh—and stepped quickly to the anteroom door. "Mrs. Martin," he called, "I'll have to trouble you to come in here again." In obedience to the summons the woman slowly entered the office and paused when she saw Hurley. Before they could more than exchange glances Kayton said abruptly: "Mrs. Martin, Mr. Hurley has just said that you murdered Mr. Argyle in an attempt to obtain money from him." "What!" she gasped, and Hurley winced for the first time before her blazing eyes. "You, you!" Then she pointed her finger at him and turned to Kayton. "It's a li, she said with quiet intensity. "He called him." "I believe you," exclaimed Kayton with a grim heartiness and a passing gleam of triumph in his gray eyes. "Mr. Kayton," he said contemptuously, "there's nothing whatever to connect me with the morder, and you know it." "Oh, yes, there la!" Kayton contradicted him and there was a new and nasty ring in his voice. "There are several things. You came to my of face to ask about that. N. M. persons and then immediately tipped off Mrs Martin." "All in my professional capacity," declared the lawyer doggedly. "As a counterfeiter!" inquired Kayton, with light scorn. "As a lawyer." Kayton leaned toward him and his eyes snapped. "It was as a lawyer, then, that you advised Kreisler last night to cease the practice of his profession until conditions were safer for counterfeiting." The last vestige of color left the man's face, and Kayton could see that his forehead was mold. "I don't collect having given any such advice," he declared. He tried to maintain the contemptuous note, but there was a sudden hoarseness that he could not control. "I was afraid you wouldn't," said Kayton grimly, picking up the sheaf of typewritten dictograph notes. "That why I reminded you." He glanced in one of the pages. "It was as a lawyer. I suppose, that you exclaimed. This is a plant!" he heard them think. I had put Miss Marquet in the house. As a lawyer, you laughed and said. So he's using us to throw the real crime inals off their guard? As a lawyer you concealed from me that Mrs. Mar tin had a claim on Mr. Argyle. As a lawyer, you perused her to go to Mr. Argyle the night of his death to us her influence for your own purpose!" Mr. Hurley wiped his forehead with his handkerchief and crushed it in his hand. "You can't bluff me with any frame-up story of this sort!" he rasped out in a boarse voice. Kayton gazed at him a moment and then dropped the papers on the desk. "Well. Hurley," he said disgustedly, "you can go to the devil your own way. If you haven't sense enough to see that its better to make a clean breast of it and stand for a charge of manslaughter you can go to the chair as a counterfeiting crook that tried to blackmail an old man and murdered him when he rounded on you! You're under arrest, and the charge is murder in the first degree! He picked up, the telephone as Hurley made a gesture to restrain him. "All right, Leisch," he said. "Just a minute, Mr. Kayton!" "You're just a minute too late," retorted the detective. "Here, boys," he went on, as a couple of his men appeared at the door. "Take this fellow away with you." The next instant the handcuffs were on his writs and the officers were searching his pockets. But he hardly noticed them. His face had suddenly grown baggard, his eyes dull with despair. "Before God, Kayton" he began, desperately, "I tell you it was an accident! He'd gone into that counterfeiting, and all of a sudden he shifted and threatened to show me up. I took her there to see her influence to try to square it, and he tried to shoot me!" "You knew all along that the man wasn't sane" cut in Kayton mercilessly. "I-I knew he was queer," stammered Hurley, now eager to admit anything that might bring a gleam of mercy to the hard, cold eyes that gnashed into his. "But—but—" Kayton's mouth shot grimly. "Butter save that defense for the jury." "But I tell you" the tortured man's voice almost to a shriek "I tell Bill had hardly died but I am sure he beamed with this win he be pulled that gun, and I am shocked it out of the hand and be tried to struggle me. I didn't want to hurt him. I just beat him off, trying to defend myself, and the first thing we know he was dead on our hands." "I don't want to hear your trouble. Burley," said Kayton coolly, sitting at his desk once more. "Tell them to the district attorney. Go on, boy! Take these apologies along with you." And, still struggling, pleading, abject and terrified, he was dragged out of the office. Kayton heaved a long, deep sigh, shook his head and turned to Mrs. Martin, who had drawn back against the wall while the terrible scene was enacted. "Mrs. Martin," he said gently as if he had never been infexible in his life. "I suppose you would like to take care of Dr. Kreisler?" Instantly her whole manner and expression softened wonderfully, and her eyes filled with tears. "Oh, yes, yes!" she exclaimed, coming eagerly toward him. "If I only could!" *Kayton nodded sympathetically. "I'll send some one with you as soon as I can," he said, "and arrange that you'll only be detained as a witness." He interrupted himself to send for Miss Maturet and went on: "I'll see you in about a half hour, Mrs. Martin, and I want to talk the case over with you. M The Next Instant the Handouffa Were on Hie Wriesta. The Next Instant the Handcuffs Were on His Wrist. You think I've treated you brutally, I have, but it was the only way I could save you." The woman's lip trembled, and her hand went to her breast. "I if I could feel anything at all I'd thank you," she said uncertainly. "But I'm dead here." Hayton turned quickly to greet Miss Marquet. "I thought you'd like to any goodbye to Mrs. Martin," he suggested. "Oh!" exclaimed the girl. "Shan't I ever see you again?" "Not" was the low but emphatic response. The girl held out her hand. "Goodbyy," she said gently. The woman quickly seized the profiled hand and drew her close. "Goodbyy," she said brokenly and looked into the girl's eyes. "You're where I was twenty years ago. You have just the same possibilities for love and self sacrifice. This man loves you!" Kayton turned a rich blooming crimson and groped for something under his desk. As he groped be sworn at it—whatever it was—under his breath. "He's waiting to take your life and make it what he wants, it to be," went on the woman. "Like me you'll give everything." She held the hand tightly, pressed it to her lips and gazed into the girl's face. "Well, what matter?" she said softly. Then suddenly releasing her she turned abruptly and hastened out. "Who is she?" gasped the startled girl. Kayton coughed and continued the search, now among the papers on his desk. "Poor soul!" he exclaimed, and his volos trembled, but not entirely from 16 "An urgent once!" he repeated softly. "Yes—sure," sympathy. "She had a daughter about your age—and lost her." "Oh!" Miss Murray glanced around the door as M of half a mind to follow. "I must do something for him." "Maybe he looked at me quietly. "What happened? you want to do for her, knight you can always do through me," he said quietly. There was a full knighting in his eyes that confessed him until he realized that it was his own heart and that it was making this connection because the girl revolently refused to meet his eyes. "Oh, thanks, thankful!" she murmured confessedly. There was a silence. Keyton felt that if he didn't speak he would shriek and run out in a moment. "Miss Marquet," he said, and he seemed to have ridiculously little control of his voice, "the man who killed Mr. Argyle has confessed. You're cleared." (Pause.) "And Bruce is cleared." (Longer/pause.) "And now—you can go home—and forget all about this." Then there was a very long pause, and Kayton had to hold himself hard and keep telling himself that he never had any such idea, anyway. At last the girl raised her eyes. "No, I can't," she said simply. "Mary." His feet got tangled in his chair and before he could extricate them the telephone jangled. He soiled it viciously. "Well, what is it?" he snapped. "Oh. Chicago be hanged! Joe, I'm not going. You come in here in about a half hour—or, say, an hour—and I'll give you instructions. Take Cortwright with you. Yes—I've got an urgent case here." "An urgent case?" questioned the girl anxiously. "Tea," he said softly and smiled "ours!" THE END. BALKED AT BRAHMS. Mora Was a Good Cook, With Positive Opinions on Wedlock. Johannes Brahma, the famous German composer, was a hearty eater and particularly fond of Italian cookery. One day he and Dr. Billroth, the eminent Austrian surgeon, visited Herr Wichmann in Home and were invited to a breakfast alla romana. The host's cook, Mora, did her prettiest, and the wine supplemented her efforts. Brahma thoughts were on the viands he had just enjoyed. In jovial humor he raised the question whether it was not his duty to take back with him to Germany a wife who could provide so admirable a meal as Mora. Finally Wichmann, with mock seriousness, presented himself to Mora as a sutor for her hand in befall of the great German artist. "Moreover, he is a musician," he explained, "and you surely are fond of music, for you sing about the house all day. What any you f." Morris answer was classic. She looked at Wichmann, then at Brahms, from top to top to and, with energetic gesture, replied, "Bobo romana, nata al Ponte Rotto, dove sa il tempio di Vesta, non aposso mai un barbaro." ("I am a Roman, born near the Ponte Rotto, whew the temple of Vesta stands. I never will marry a barbarian.")

St. Peter at once thrown open the gate and cried out: "Come in, Pat! We'll let bygones be bygones!" Played the Limit.

Said Mrs. Joacker, who was embroidering blue roses: "Probably he deserves it. What is he guilty of?" "Fraud and no visible means of support. He obtained clothes and a fine turnout with no money and nothing collectible. He seems to be larger and stronger than most of that class, yet it is plain that he has never done a tap of work, though he has managed to live well so far.

Still Hope Original Proposals of United States May Be Accepted by Mexican President. Eleventh hour developments in the Mexican situation postponed the reading by President Wilson of his special message to congress and indicated that the Huerta government, after all, might withdraw or modify its rejection of the proposals of the United States designed to bring about the establishment of a constitutional government which the United States could recognize. Postponement of the message was at the request of Senor Gamboa, the Mexican minister of foreign affairs. The request was based upon supplementary suggestions by John Lind, advised to the American embassy in Mexico City, and President Wilson's personal enquiry. Special Envoy John Lind departed from Mexico City for Vera Cruz for the purpose of impressing upon Provisional President Huerta that there will be no further postponement of President Wilson's address to congress. As the result of this action by Lind Huerta now understands that unless he accepts the America proposals all negotiations between the United States and Mexico toward mediation will be broken off. Simultaneously with the announcement of the delay in reading the message the original proposals by the United States, presented to Provisional President Huerta, through Mr. Lind, were given out. It was also officially stated that in no case would the United States withdraw from the basic principles of its position, paramount among which is a consistent refusal to recognize Huerta. The original proposals of the United States, as given out officially for the first time, were: 1. Cessation of hostilities and a definite armistice. 2. An early and free election. 3. Huerta to bind himself not to be a candidate. 4. Agreement by all parties to abide by the results of the election. Upon these proposals the Huerta government, at the last moment, asked further time for consideration, and upon certain supplementary suggestions by Lind, the nature of which was not divulged, the request for a postponement was made. This message had been read to the twenty-one members of the senate foreign relations committee and the house foreign affairs committee, and presumably what was a general outline of it had been allowed to become public. The expression of the American policy was to follow a long and unusual effort to persuade the defacto authorities in Mexico City to suspend hostilities, convoke a constitutional election and to insure freedom of choice of a president and congress by eliminating the present ruler—Victoriano Huerta—at least as a candidate for the presidency, although apparently not, as had been understood, as provisional president. In view of the rejection of those suggestions the message was understood to set forth that the United States had not felt compelled to emphasize its ideas by arms but, having obtained the moral support of the civilized world, the American government had decided to pursue a policy of absolute non-interference. From the first it was realized that only two courses of action were before it—friendly mediation or armed intervention. The one had failed and the other was not called for, by any existing emergency. The United States, therefore, the message was to set forth, would remain aloof, hoping that moral sation eventually would prevail. Arms would be denied all warring factions. Americans would be assisted to leave the troubled zones and the United States patiently would await the establishment of a secure, stable and constitutional government before extending recognition.

POSTMASTER HELD AS THIEF Columbia Man and Assistant Accused of Taxing $591 to Run Factory. John S. Wilson, postmaster of Columbia, Pa., and his assistant, Frank G. Payne, were arrested by Deputy Marshal Smith, of Philadelphia, charged with embezzling government funds, the prosecution having been brought by Postoffice Inspector Nichols. Inspector Nichols and Inspector Lucas have been investigating the management of the Columbia office for some time. It is charged that Wilson was using government funds to promote the interests of a candy company in which he was concerned. Wilson is also charged with violating the postoffice rules in having more than $250 in cash at one time in the office. At times he had as high as $500 and $600, it is charged. Cash balances were "doctored," it is alleged, by personal checks. Both Wilson and Payne were held in $1000 bail for trial in the United States district court. The amount of the embezzlement charged in the prosecution is $591. SPEER PROBE HELD UP House Rejects Clayton Move Unless Charces Are Disclosed.

DUDLEY, President, A. AND M, COLLEGE, 7 Greensboro, N. C. ° en eee - --- NEW LAW LIMITS RAILROAD PASSES Public Utilities Act in Pennsylvania Forbide Free Transportation to All But Employees of Railroads. Unless some railroad employ or labor union is able to obtain a favorable interpretation from the public service commission or from the courts of a law passed by the last Pennsylvania legislature, the wives and other members of families of railroad officials and employees will lose the free passes they have so long enjoyed, after Jan. 1, when the law goes into effect. The knowledge that the act forbids the railroads or any other "common carrier;" engaged in the transportation business for profit, to issue passes to the wives, children and other dependents of employees, has not heretofore spread to the latter. The information is expected to result in a load protest by the employees, whose families have been enforcing the privileges of free transportation. The railroads of the state have been liberal in granting passes to officers and employees, their wives, children and other relatives wholly dependent on them for support and living in the same house. Under the new act such transportation could be granted by the railroad only if it desires to assume the risk of prosecution for violation of the law and of paying a fine of $500 for each offense. A railroad official said that if the section of the net prohibiting the issuance of passes except to officers and employees had become known pending consideration of the bill in the legislature, there would have been a "howe of protest" by railroad men from every section of the state. He predicted that the information will act "like a bombhall" when it reaches railroad employees. There is a provision of the constitution of Pennsylvania, however, which has long prohibited the issuance of passes to others officers and employees of transportation companies. Either they have ignored the constitution in this respect, have not had it called to their attention, or it has not been enforced, for the fact remains that passes have been and are still issued to the families of railroad officials and employees. While neither the constitution nor the public utilities nor regarding passives states that they shall not be issued to the families of officers or employees, the legislation in both cases specifier that the free transportation shall be granted only to officers and employees. Thus the families and other relatives, dependent on the officers or employees for a livelihood, are shut off from passes under the law. There are $50,000 Pennsylvania railroad employees east of Pittsburgh who will be unable to obtain passes for wives, children or other dependents when the act becomes effective. The Philadelphia & Reading has 30,000 employees in the state, and the Baltimore & Ohio railroad employees, numbering about 10,000 in Pennsylvania, also will be denied pass privileges except for themselves. Woman Leaves $75,000 to Lawyer. A sensation has been caused in Cumberland, Md., by the announcement that Mrs. Margaret McCray, aged thirty-seven years, widow of William L. McCray, who died after an illness of two days from acute pneumonia; had left her entire estate to Captain J. Philip Roman, a young lawyer of Cumberland and son-in-law of James Clark, the millionaire head of the James Clark Distilling company. Roman is no relative of Mrs. McCray, who has two brothers and a sister, Mrs. Herbset, of Pittsburgh, Pa., and also a number of nephews. It is said that the will, which was drawn after she was fatally stricken, will be contested by her relatives. Captain Roman, as attorney for Mrs. McCray, drew the will, which was witnessed by Dr. Thomas W. Koon, police and fire commissioner, who was her physician, and Charles W. Fries, a clerk in the Baltimore & Ohio railroad office. The estate of Mrs. McCray is estimated at about $75,000. Her husband died in June of last year while manager of a theater. A few weeks ago Mrs. McCray presented Captain Roman with her new automobile. Plan 901-Foot Skyscraper. A sky scraper with a tower that will rise 901 feet above the curb is planned by the Pan-American States Association. Unless plans miscarry it will be built in New York, constructed wholly of materials from the Latin-American republic, will wrest from the Woolworth building the distinction of being the world's tallest habitable structure and will be ready for occupation with the opening of the Panama-Pacific station in California in 1811. Plans and specifications for the structure will be given to a building committee of the association Tuesday for review and acceptance. Francis K. Kimball, designer of notable skyscrapers, made the plans. The estimated cost of the structure is $50,000, although the site has not yet been selected. It is intended to erect the building as an enduring monument to Pan-American Industry. T. R. Returns; Got Mountain Lions. Colonel Roosevelt, burned almost as red as the desert Indians among whom he has been sojourning during a part of the summer, arrived in Chicago. He spent less than two hours in the city before taking the Pennsylvania special for Oyster Bay. He was met at the Santa Fe station by Thomas D. Knight, president of the Chicago Progressive Club, and a delegation of members, and later took a "standing" luncheon conducted on a help-yourself basis at the club. On the way to this function, in an automobile, the colonel was recognized by many persons, and waved his wide-brimmed hat in response to the greeting. He said he had enjoyed his vacation and had profited by his studies of Indian character and custom. Roosevelt, said he spent the first fortnight hunting and that the party killed three, mountain lions. He said he shot one and his two sons killed the other. He said the only fresh meat the party had on the hunting trip was the mountain lions, and that the meat was delicious. He spent two weeks among the Navajos, and visited the great natural bridge which spans the Grand Canyon, which he described as a "trumpish arch of nature." He closed his visit by attending the snake dance of the priests of the Hopi Indians, which he said, was extremely interesting. Roosevelt declined to discuss the Mexican situation, saying he was not familiar with present conditions. 400 Made Homeless by Fire More than forty dwellings and factories, covering a space equal to more than three city blocks, in the Lafayette section of Jersey City, N. J., were destroyed by fire in less than three hours. There was no loss of life. The property loss was estimated at $1,000,000. Probably 400 persons were made homeless and six large manufacturing plants were wiped out. The pillar of flame and smoke which arose from the confusion could be seen for miles around. Forty doors, under observation for hydrophobia in a shelter of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals were shot to death just before the flames reached that building. All the ambulances in the city were sent to the scene to attend firemen overcome by smoke or burns. Women Would Be Judges Justice, which heretofore has been allegorically depicted by a woman, although dispensed in the courts of the land by males, may come into its own sex, if Governor Hiram Johnson, of California, tends sufficient heed to the applications of Clara Shortridge Foltz and Mrs. Tanaa Alex, both of Los Angeles, who want to be named superior judges in Los Angeles county. The women will supplement their written endorsement for the polls they desire in person before the executive in Los Angeles. Superior court candidates for the jobs created by the last legislature are numerous in both Los Angeles and San Francisco. Governor Johnson has announced that he will not make known his appointments until his return to Sacramento from the South. --- Sometime by Exploring match. When Mrs. Anna R. Little, aged 82, scratched a match in a closet she intentionally set fire to a fire of turpentine spilled there. The flames smothered the woman, who was rescued by Dr. L. T.

When made of dainty material it is a most attractive little garment. A pretty effect is made by finishing the neck with narrow lace.

Old playgoers will recollect the Bohee brothers, who came over in the early eighties and sang plantation songs in ragtime to banjo accompaniment. And years before this there was the famous "jimcrow" song and dance brought over by Dan Rice, the first "nigger" minstrel. The early plantation songs were at one time thought to be folk songs brought from Africa, but the generally accepted theory, is that they were picked up by the negroes from the revival preachers. But the curiously marked rhythm of the melodies—ragtime—of undoubted African origin—London Spectator. Town a Thousand Years Old. The little Essex town of Witham, England, is a thousand years old. It was in 1013 that Edward the Elder, son of Alfred the Great, came to Witham from Maldon and built a fort, the remains of which can still be seen round Witham church in the Temple meadows. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Edward was engaged about Maldon expelling the Danes and Scandinavians who had settled there, and he directed the operations from his quarters in the Witham fort—London The Times.

Some one asked me one why it is that most college crew coaches make good chess players. I knew that the person who put the question didn't know much about the rowing game, for producing a successful eight oared crew requires an amount of thinking which makes chess seem like pure recreation in comparison. Of course it's different from a chess problem in the fact that opponents don't always start with the same strength of fores, but this only adds to the fascination of trying to boat a winning combination.—Outing.

The pride is more adroit and never immediately unmasks. Charity, my brethren, is that sweet color of Jesus Christ which evaporates and is lost the moment it is uncovered. It does not cause to abstain from the public duties of benevolence. We owe to our brethren education and example. It is a good thing for men to see our works, but we should not see them ourselves, and our left hand ought not to know the gifts our right distributes. The achievements even which duty renders the most brilliant ought always to be secret in the preparations of the heart. We ought to entertain a kind of jealousy for them against others' gaze and not think their innocence sure, but when they are under the eyes of God alone.—Massillon. BEHAVIOR There is always a best way of doing everything, if it but be to boll an egg. Munners are the happy ways of doing things, each once a stroke of genius or of love, now repeated and hardened into usage. They form at last a rich varish, with which the routine of life is washed and its details adorned. If they are superficial, so are the dawdrops which give such a depth to the morning meadows. Munners are very communicable. Men catch them from each other. Consuele in the romance boasts of the lessons she had given the nobles in manners on the stage and in real life. Tatma taught Napoleon the arts of behavior. Genius invents fine manners, which the baron and the baroness copy very fast and, by the advantage, of a palace, betters the instruction. They stereotype the lesson they have learned into a mode—Emerson. What We Want Daily Protein to make blood and muscle, bone and brain and corresponding quantities of fat, starch and sugar and the like to be consumed in the body to serve as a fuel to provide warmth and give strength for the body.

I solemnly believe that our political system is, in its purity, not only the best that ever was formed, but the best possible that can be devolved for us. It is the only one by which free states, so populous and wealthy and occupying so vast an extent of territory, can preserve their liberty. Thus thinking, I cannot hope for a better. Having no hope of a better, I am a conservative, and because I am a conservative I am a state rights man. I believe that in the rights of the states are to be found the only effectual means of checking the overaction of this government, to resist its tendency to concentrate all power here and to prevent a departure from the constitution or, in case of one, to restore the government to its original simplicity and purity.—John C. Calhoun. THEOCRITUS. Dometer, rich in fruit and rich in grain, may this corn be easy to win and fruitful exceedingly.

He is not cumbered about a butter to his drink, for he has liquor by him unstinted. Holl the lentils better, thou miserly steward. Take heed least thou chop thy fingers when thou art splitting cumin seed.—Songs of the Reapers. GO THE RIGHT WAY. The hill, though high, I covet to ascend. The difficulty will not me offend. For I perceive the way to life has here. Come, pluck up heart; let's neither faint nor fear. Better, though difficult, the right way to go. Than wrong, though easy, where the end is wase. —John Bunyan. RIGHT TO INHERIT. The question whether inheritance is an inherent right or a grant from public society has been already considered by such great jurists as Theophilus, Cleoero, Grotius, Vinnius, Cojas, Puffendorf, Bykerchaekoch, Lehltitz, Donnead, Local Manafield, Montequileu, Merlin, Toullier, Proudhon and other equally great jurists and philosophers of all times and places, and the best thought of the world at the present time is generally conceded to be expressed by the conclusion that the right to dispose of property after death is a natural and inherent right of mankind which cannot be taken away by the state. It is said by one of the greatest of the world's jurists, Troplong, that no country is entitled to be regarded as free where a right to dispose of property by will does not exist—Judge R. L. Fowler, Surrogate, of New York. TO SEA! TO SEA! To sea, to sea! The calm is o'er. The wauton water leaps in sport And rattles down the pebbly shore; The dolphin wheels, the sea cows short. And unseen mermaid's pearly song Comes huddling up the weeds among. Fling broad the sail; dip deep the oar. To sea, to sea! The calm is o'er. To sea, to sea! Our white winged bark Shell, bellowing, cleave its watery way And with its shadow, feet and dark, Break the caved Triton's azure day. Like mountain eagle soaring light O'er antelopes on Alpine height. The anchor beaves; the ship swings free; Our sails swell full. To sea, to sea! —Thomas Lovell Beddoe. An Indemnment She—What did you think of the minister's expression of the belief that the world would soon come to an end? He—I was rather inclined to think it would before he got through with his duties. A BEAUTIFUL HEAD OF HAIR IN A LADY'S CROWNING GLORY. And every body can have it if she will use the Magic. The Magic will dry the hair after a shampoo or bath, and straighten the earliest head of hair. It will also enhance its growth. The Alaskan Cob cannot influence the hair, because it is never heated direct, but takes its heat from the heating bar which is heated on our Alaskan Husker, or any other heater.

The Scrap Book Took It Literally. It is told of the late Chaucey Shafer, who bears the same relation to New York's "anecdotage" that Sydney Smith does to London's, that he employed in his law office a stunted youth of very tractable temperament. One day Mr. Shafer returned from lunch in a lively mood and, by token of the Madelra he had consumed, summoned Billy into his private office. "Boy," he said carelessly, "go over to the special term and see what in blazes the — fools are doing up there." The late Judge Brady was presiding over the trial of an action involving many interesting questions of substantive law; hence the courtroom was empty save for the litigants, their counsel and the necessary witnesses. Judge Brady's kindness toward women and children was proverbial, and when Billy stood against the railing of the enclosure, his face barely reaching the balustrade, the judge noticed him immediately. He interrupted the arguments of counsel and turned to Billy. "Well, my lad," he said in sage, judicial accents, "what can I do for you?" "I'm from Mr. Shafer's office," Billy replied, "and he wants to know what in blazes you — fools are up to over here." Evening Prayer If I have wounded any soul today, If I have caused one foot to go astray, If I have walked in my own willful way— Good Lord, forgive! If I have uttered idle words or vain, If I have turned aside from want or pain, Lest I myself should suffer through the strain— Good Lord, forgive! If I have craved for joyes that are not mine. If I have let my wayward heart repine, Dwelling on things of earth, not things divine— Good Lord, forgive! If I have been perverse or hard or cold, If I have longed for shelter in thy fold. When thou hast given me some part to hold— Good Lord, forgive! Forgive the sins I have confessed to thee, Forgive the secret sins I do not see, That which I know not, Father, teach thou me— Help me to live. -C. Maud Butterfly. Mr. Egan's Parable. In company with other American ambassadors and ministers Minister Maurice Francis Ryan, who represents up at Denmark, sent in his formal resignation to President Wilson on February 6. Mr. Ryan accompanied the reception with a gift that said his thanks for the passing of guidance to minded him of a woman he heard about once, who through financial misfortune came to be in distressed circumstances and for a livelihood had to rely on a few bens she owned. She was of good birth and breeding and very proud, but was finally forced to go out and peddle eggs. She took some eggs in a basket and walked along the streets, saying: "Eggs, tuppence! Eggs, tuppence! I hope to heaven nobody hears me! Eggs, tuppence!"—Saturday Evening Post. He Got a Shock. A bery of colored ladies once rallied around an unusually quick firing Boston reformer and begged him to sign a petition. Better treatment for their young in the public schools. Excellent—of course, of course. Instantly the good soul recognised the merits of this beautiful cause, and down went his name. Never stopped to peruse the document. Fitted himself on the back as the bery withdrew after thanking him profusely. Next morning, however, he was quite a little disturbed on opening his newspaper and seeing his signature appended to a petition beginning, "We, the parents of colored children."—New York Tribune. Scared Out of Writing Bedh A well known musician, who writes a very illegible hand, once sent an unusually hopeless scrawl to a friend. The latter studied it a minute, gave it up in despair and then sat, down and wrote in reply: "I shall be most happy to dine with you tomorrow at 6. Kindest regards to your wife," etc. In less than half an hour his friend appeared breathless at his door. "There's some misunderstanding," he said anxiously. "I wrote you a note asking if you could play the piano part of the trio at Brown's recital, and here you've sent me an acceptance of a dinner invitation, but I didn't invite you to dinner." "Well," returned the other blandly. "I didn't suppose you'd really sent me an invitation to dinner, but I couldn't read a word of your note, and in that case hereafter I mean always to take it for granted that you're asking me to dine." For one of his correspondents at least the offender now writes legibly. Awaiting a Chance A farmer and his wife in an out of the way but interesting corner of Galway had made their only visitor very comfortable indeed, says the Manchester Guardian. As the road ended, with the farm and prosperity were exclusively rare the ghost asked the farmer why he did not try the effect of an advertisement in one of the daily newspapers. "Aya," he said, "there a fine motion, and we have made up our minds to do it. We are just waiting till we see a full vacation in the Island, and then we'll make up a false or truth."

Devoted to the Interests of the Citizens of Color. THE RAINBOW. My heart leaps up when I be- hold A rainbow in the sky. So was it when my life began, So is it now I am a man. So be it when I shall grow old Or let me die! The child is father of the man. And I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural ERASMUS' THEOLOGY. The generality of mankind place religion in ceremonies or creeds; a certain appointment of pains or in bodily exercise. If you examine them about spiritual matters you will find them merely carnal. My work has been to restore a buried literature and recall the divines from their hair splittings to a knowledge of the New Testament. I do not object generally to the evangelical doctrines, but there is much in Luther's teachings which I dislike. He turns everything which he touches into extrangeness. I care nothing for fame and nothing for posterity. I desire only to go home and to find favor with Christ. THE THINKERS. The men whose minds move faster than their age And faster than society's dull flight Must bear the ribald rallies and the rage Of those who lag behind it As the light Plays on the horizon's verge before its night Can penetrate life's dark and murky stage; As the tired hedgt, on his pilgrimage, Hearts, eye he sees, the fountain bubbling bright; As the sweet smiles of infants promise youth And martyrs sufferings herald superlit truth. So thought long forward is the prophecy Of truth's majestic march and shows the way Where future time shall lead the proud array Of peace, of power and love of liberty. Sir John Slowring.
