THE RICHMOND PLANET VOLUME XXXI. NO. 6 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1914 PRICE, FIVE CENTS. Corner Stone Laying, Va. Theological Seminary and College, Monday, December 15th. Monday, December 15th, was a notable day in Negro Baptist Church history, and especially in distinctive educational history. The occurrence that made this day notable was the laying of the corner stone of the new dormitory for girls at Virginia Theological Seminary and College. The weather was simply adapted to the occasion. Our blessed Lord, whose on impatient hand has guided this work during the years of its existence, gave us perfect weather. It was charfurful, soul satisfying and delighting to every friend and well-wisher of Negro education to see the forces of nature compete to add their share of the glory to this splendid, auspicious occasion. The many friends who gathered on the historic hill from other cities leisurely strolled the beautiful campus, gladly awaiting the hour for the special service. At three o'clock P. M. the Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons, led by the Samaritan Band came in upon the campus with excellent procession. Hundreds of spectators had gathered to witness the performance by the Masons, ceremonies led by Grand Master Dr. Philip F. Morris, the three lodges of Masons, participating, laid according to their ancient rites, and due form in a most impressive way, the corner stone. The three lodges participating were the Star of the West, Roman Eagle and Lynchburg Lodges, all of the city. After the ceremonies by the Masons, a programme was rendered as follows: Scripture lesson by Rev. William "Morro," of Roanoke; prayer by Dr. W. T. Anthony. President Woods, in brief words, outlined the efforts and purposes of the administration, concluding introduced Dr. J. H. Burks, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, who in a strong address urged the co-operation of the friends and well-wishers in money raising to meet the financial needs of the new building. Dr. W. R. Brown. Secretary of Board made the principal address of the evening. It was a great speech of Dr. Brown, which is characteristic of him. He took occasion to compliment the work of the school on its progress and the two Conventions of the State supporting this work on their great work, paying an especial tribute to the women. Deacon Adolphus Humbles, the financial king, among the Negroes, made a strong, spirited speech, assuring the hearers of his loyalty to the work and further assuring them that the work would be rushed to completion as rapidly as was possible and advisable. Mr. Humbles is Superintendent of construction of the new building and general manager of the school. Mrs. Eliza P. Fox, president of the Women's Convention, next spoke, stating in well chosen words the work of the women in connection with the new building. More than five hundred dollars were realized during the day for the work. At night a Mass Meeting was held at Court Street Baptist Church. This meeting was addressed by Dr. A. A. Galvin, President of Virginia Baptist State Convention; Dr. J. C. Austin of Staunton, Dr. W. R. Ashburn, President of State B. Y. P. U. Convention; Dr. J. H. Burks, Dr. Nelson Jordan, Moderator Hassallah Association; Deacon A. Humbles. All of these addresses were forcible, eloquent and inspiring. 'Among others attending the occasion were Drs. S. A. Mones, W. B. Calloway, R. C. Pannell, W. D. Wooda, J. C. Drake, C. E. Miller, B. Tyrrell, L. R.-W. Johnson, C. D. Henderson, A. O. Bell, C. G. Cabell, L. O. Lowley, Crowds witnessed these services and enthusiasm ran high. One hundred dollars were raised at Court Street Church for the work. The name of the churches and friends contributing will be published in the next issue. Contributions are still coming in. When this building is complete, it will add greatly to the facilities of Virginia Theological Seminary and College. Its cost will be twenty-five thousand dollars. This money is raised among Negro Baptists who maintain this work at an annual cost of more than twenty thousand dollars. Rev. Dr. I. L. Thomas To Lecture and French at Anthur M. E. The Rev. Dr. J. L. Thomas, Field Secretary of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the M.E. Church will preach at Asbury Church, Sunday evening and Lecture subject, "Mountains to Climb," Monday, January 5th to benefit said Church. The public is invited to hear him. Against the Jews HEBREWS CLAIM DISCRIMINATION. Protective League Denounces Treatment of Race in State and Country. (Newark, N. J. Star.) Strong denunciation of discrimination against the people of the Hebrew race in this State and throughout the country was made by speakers at the meeting of the Hebrew Protective League, at 191 Market Street, last night, and Freeholder Richard E. Mattin even went so far as to suggest that organized effort should be made by all races to offset and break down this discrimination. Dr. Nathan J. Albert openly stated that the months ago the members of the New Jersey State Board of Medical Examiners refused to honor a certificate from the University of Moscow because the man holding it was of the Jewish faith. The speaker added that the physician was still living in this city and could be found at any time. Continuing, he told of discrimination in the renting of apartments, securing accommodations in hotels, and in many other ways. He also registered a protest against the American Federation of Labor seeking a restriction of the Immigration laws. Mr. Matta stated that the Jews, Italians and Negroes were the three races most discriminated against and they should organize for their own protection. He also suggested the organization of a commission to meet all trains coming into the city and take care of the immigrants and see that they were not taken advantage of by the usurpulloys. Other speakers were Louis A. Fask, Louis Rich, president of the organization; Benjamin Yawitz, Max A. Cohen, Morris Meyer and Hyman Davidson, president of the Hebrew Citizens' Union. St. John's Night Observed Hosson Lodge, No. 23, A. P. & A. M. celebrated St. John's Night last Friday night, at their Temple on West 12th Street, South Richmond, Va. in fine banquet style. The ladies were handsomely gowned in evening attire while the gents were the usual conventional black and their shining high hats were in great evidence. Mr. Charles Robinson, who acted as master of ceremonies had arranged a short program for the occasion. Among the speakers were Prof. C. L. Wintree, Lawyer J. C. Robinson, Dr. Q. W. Moon and Mrs. Sarah Edwards. All spoke in glowing terms of the nobleness of the oldest organization on earth. On the dining floor two tables had been arranged in the form of a cross and they were heavily adorned with the delicacies of the season. The committee was Messrs. John Holmes, William Lewis, Robert Branch, W. E. L. Smith, W. L. Deane, and Orkin Deane. Attorney Newsome Secures Commu- tation. Attorney J. Thomas Newsome was in the city December 24th and carried home with him from Hon Ben, P. Owen, Jr., private secretary to Gov. William Hodges Mann, the grafting information that Gov. Mann had commited the sentence of death for his client, John Jennings, to imprisonment for life. Jennings killed a boy, named Willie Taylor and was sentenced to be electrocuted. Lawyer Newsome made a determined fight for the life and he has finally succeeded, thanks to Gov. Mann and the court officers at Newport News, Na. Housekeeper Wanted. Wanted.

Rumor of His Death, Started by Chicago Paper, Branded as False (New York Age) The report that Roscoe Conkling Simmons formerly of New York, and now a resident of Memphis, is dead proves to be a fabrication of the rankest sort. In response to an inquiry asking for definite information regarding Mr. Simmons The Age received the following telegram denying the canard: To the Editor of The Age: Roscoe is not dead, but is very much alive. He just asked me to send Christmas greetings to you. (Signed) ROBERT R. CHURCH, JR., Memphis, Tenn. The rumor that Roscoe Conkling Simmons was no more was first put into circulation by the Chicago Defender, a weekly paper, which published the following sensational and misleading article: "Roscoe Conkling Simmons, the brilliant young journalist and editor of the Memphis Sun, is dead and will be buried on Sunday, December 21, at 3 o'clock, from the Beale Street Baptist Church. It is expected to be the largest funeral service ever held in that city. He is now lying in state at Undertaker Hayes mortuary church. Poor to his ashes." "When the young editor left Chicago last summer he declared that if he should not return to Chicago within six months he would be dead. He left from Chicago to deliver a dedicatory speech at Mound Bayon Mills, Mound Bayon, Miss. Simmons traveled in the South as a representative of this office. He collected subscriptions and has never turned in a dollar. Seventy-five letters have come to this office stating that money had been given Simmons, but no papers received! Since that time he has founded this Memphis Sun. Let us hope and pray that he will rest calmly in the arms of his Maker here forth and forever." --- The "Lynching" of Simmons We are not familiar with the underlying motives, that actuated the Chicago Defender in publishing an article that Rosemey Conkling Simmons was dead, nor are we acquainted with its methods, of receiving and verifying its news. We do know, however, that to circulate a false report of a person's death, even though an enemy, is a rank piece of yellow journalism which out-hears Heart. Newspapers, one and all, should be made to pay the penalty for resorting to such a vicious practice. Fortunately the law gives the injured party the alternative to recover for malicious libel. In this specific case we do not pose as "the brave and fearless champion" of Rosemey Conkling Simmons, whose faults we know as well as his virtues, but our position is that, whether due to malice after thought or downlight carelessness, the practice of lynching in cold type should be stopped. This kind of journalism is most reprehensible. --- WHITE- Died at his residence, 201 W. Leigh Street, Tuesday, December 30th, at 4:15 A.M., WM, HWITE, in the 73rd year of his age. The deceased was one of our oldest and most respected citizens, and his death will be a great loss to his church and the community. He was a successful merchant and known for his generosity and philanthropy. He was chairman of the Deacon board and Treasurer of the Sunday School of the Second Baptist Church, Director of the Richmond Hospital and member of the St. Lukes and True Reformers. He leaves a widow, sister, brother and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. His funeral took place from the Second Naptal Church Thursday afternoon, 2:30.

Jack Johnson Jack Johnson DEFEAT WILL COME SOME DAY But His Conqueror Will not be Acclaimed the Hero He would have been had he. Turned the Trick When Big Black was in his Prime. Some other ring goes. (Scout, in News-Letter.) Some day some hard-hitting fighter with the right kind of a wallop in his mitt is going to knock Jack Johnson from the high seat of punishment he has occupied since that Reno flasheo when Jim Jeffries was the receiving end for the big black trihammer-punches that take a sad spectacle of the once formidable builder-puncher. And, whether the new champion he black or white, there will be much rejoicing in ring circles, for Jack Johnson today with standing his cleverness, as a bower is in bad repute with followers of the ring the world over He is practically an exile from the United States and never again will be allowed to enter the ring in this country. If he ever fights again, it will be in a foreign country. Yes, great will be the rejoicing when Jack Johnson has been dethroned, but the man who succeeds in lifting the crown from the dusky brow of the burly Texan will not be acclaimed the hero he would have been had he turned the trick when Johnson was far from him and Johns today is far from being the king of Johnson, who beat Jim Jeffries into a pulp. Riotous living and the lure of the white lights has sent him well along on the road to the finish, and it will not be long before Jack Johnson will have passed on as master of the ring. A CHAMPION BY LUCK. Johnson dashed across horizon when there was first-class fighters.

Steadfast refused to put Jackson except on the condition that the two he turned loose in a rook, the door locked and the keys thrown away. Jim Corbett met the Nato and was pretty lucky to gain a dry, after fifty-one rounds of terrific fighting, in which "Gentleman Jim" facial geography was considerably changed by the bullet-headed pug. Jackson also gave Joe Choynski a terrific beating, and the Hebrew was never to be ridiculed. Joe Gans, the clever boxer, the greatest ring general of all time, held the lightweight champion for six years, finally losing it to Bettling Nelson in 1908, when tether loses had pretty nearly finished the fighter. Gans was rightfully called the master of the ring. He now how to punch with the steam that scores knockouts and experts say that no fighter knew the art of defense quite so well as this colored man. Here was a black man holding the esteem of everyone—white and black—connected with the ring. Another great Negro : illist was George Dixon, who fought everybody who could be indicted to meet him. The worst thumping he could got was administered by Terry Governor, who stopped him in eight rounds. Then there was Joo Watt, considered a wonder in his day. Walcott stood five feet eleven and one-half inches high, welghed; but 145 pounds and barrow to one meeting heavyweights as roadly as the walters, and he has to his credit: a knock out over Choynski. Of all the Negro fighters, however, the greatest of them all was old Joe Gana. The greatest "four-fisher" of the bunch is Jack Johnson, and some slugger is going to get him bye and bye. Professor Spingarn READY FOR LONG TOUR. Will Make Strong Campaign Against Race Segregation. (Amer. Press Ass'n Afro-American Press, 51 Afro-American 1913) By N. Barnett Dodson New York, Professor J. E. Spingarn, formerly of Columbia university New York, and now president of the New York branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, will begin a tour of the middle west January 6, in the interests of that association, for the purpose of protecting against the segregation of the races in the federal bureaus in Washington and of stimulating the uplift of the race in other ways. Dr. Spingarn is one of the most ardent and uncompromising white champions of the civil rights of the American Negro, and his western tour should certainly help to crystallize the national conscience against segregation, Jim Crowism, lynching and all other disadvantages under which colored people in this country now suffer. Professor Spingarn's first speech will be delivered at Detroit on the evening of January 8, and he will then visit Indianapolis, Quincy, Chicago, Kansas City, Topaek, St. Louis, and other cities. He will make the entire tour at his own expense. He has had a distinguished career as a scholar and publisher. For 12 years he was professor of comparative literature in Columbia university retiring in 1911. He is the author of numerous books, some of which have been translated into foreign languages, and he is also the author of a volume of years. "The New Herperides and Other Poems," which has attracted much attention in this country as well as in England. He has been interested in public affairs for many years, having been the Republican candidate for member of congress in the Eighteenth New York district in 1905, when he received the highest interment from President Roosevelt. Secretary of State Ellen Root and other district officialsmen. His services to the cause of the American Negro have been especially important. He is an ardent exponent of the new abolitionism, which aims to bring to the cause of the rights of colored people the sacred devotion of empathy which characterized the other abolitionism, of William Lloyd Garrison and Wyndham Phillips. As a delegate to the First National convention at Chicago in August, 1912, he attracted national attention to this new movement by his gallant effort to commit the party to a plank in its platform which would open the door of hope to the indigenous colored people of the United States. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 62 which Professor Spinning will be the personal representative during his western tour, is an organization composed of members of both races, with headquarters in New York and with branches in over twenty cities, including Boston, Providence, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City, Topica, San Francisco and Taorma. The president is Moorfield Store, the distinguished Boston lawyer, and among its directors are Oscar Garrison Villard, Jane Addams, Dr. C. Bentley, Mary White Ostrinton Professor J. E. Spinning, Charles Edward R. Sell, Dr. W. E. R. Du Bois, Roy John Haynes Holmes, William English Walling and Aristold H. Grimke. The official organ of the association is the Crisis, a monthly magazine edited by Dr. Du Bois, which now has a circulation of 25,000 copies distributed in every state of the United and in over ten foreign countries. About 20 per cent of the readers of this paper are white and 50 per cent colored, although, of course, no exact figures along these lines are possible to ascertain. Information Wanted.

Y., Started by Discovery of Melvin Couch's Strange Companion. The death of Melvin H. Couch, a former district attorney of Sullivan county, N. Y., revealed that, unknown to his family and friends and to his clients, a woman had lived for three years in a secret room connecting with his law offices in Monticello, N. Y. Couch was found lying dead on his office lounge. Death was due to rupture of a blood vessel near his heart. In the next room crumbled a frightened woman, who admitted that she had seen him die, but insisted that she was not responsible for his death. She said that she was Adelia M. Brance, of Goshen, N. Y., and that the secret room had been her only home for three years. Mr. Couch was sixty-five years old, and was formerly partner of Alton B. Parker, Democratic nominee for the presidency in 1994. The door that led from the office to the living quarters of the woman was always locked, and no one saw Couch and his companion passed through it. She seldom left her quarters. Although Mrs. Couch was a frequent visitor at the office of her husband she never suspected what the adjoining room contained. In the excitement attending the finding of Couch's body some one climbed upon a chair and peered through the transom into the secret room. There he saw a woman huddled up on the floor beside a plain iron bed. Her clothing was poor and ill-fitting, her face had the look like that of a drug user, and her disheveled hair was streaked with gray. The room she occupied was sparsely furnished, containing beside the bed an old cook stove, a table and two chairs. The woman, who is about forty years old, said she had lived there voluntarily and had never gone out in the daytime. At rare intervals she went for a walk at night. Mrs. Couch, who was present when the secret door was opened, fainted at the sight of the woman. After Adelaide Brance had been quieted and assured that no harm would come to her, she said: "I came out of the room to waken Mr. Couch, who often slept in his office. As soon as I saw him I knew he was dead. I knew that Dr. J. F. Curlette was his brother-in-law, and I telephoned to him to come at once." She said she met Couch three years ago, when she called at his office to sell books. The lawyer's friends remember that about this time he had the room where she was found cut off from his office by a heavy partition. The woman was held on a technical charge, but the coroner's verdict as to the cause of Couch's death supported her assertion that she was not responsible. The attorney, she said, died of a ruptured blood vessel on Sunday morning. The autopsy brought the verdict that death was due to the breaking of the ascending aorta. Mrs. Couch had not the slightest idea of her husband's double life, nor had his son or his daughter, said to be engaged to a young professional man of Monticello. Mrs. Couch knew that her husband had forbidden her the locked door in his office, and that he often slept there, alleging insomnia, but she had no suspicions. Takes Map on Standing Roof. Henry Surman, a thimself, of Burlington, N. J., naturally felt pretty sleepy after he had worked for forty hours without so much, as a wink. That was why he scared a half hundred spectators and nearly spelled his own destruction by selecting the edge of a standing roof as a couch. Surman was, working with several other thimselfs on the roof of a building at Broad and Stary streets. He was doing some soldering along the edge, and the job required him to stretch out. In such a position he dosed and his soldering iron rolled off and nearly hit a pedestrian below. For several minutes Surman slept. Soon he began to get restless. It was then that one of the other workmen saw his predicament from ten, to fifteen feet away. He was afraid to yell for fear the unconscious man might start enough to roll him off. Also he knew the worst might happen any moment and mean not only the death of the sleeper, but perhaps to somebody below. Throwing a handful of gravel to the pavement to attract attention, without shouting, he waved and pointed in a way that made those who looked understand the danger. They fell back in hushed suspense, while the workman, John Tighman, worked his way along the edge and effected a rescue. Surman ralibed his eyes as the crowd cheered, and then looking about him, he nervously breathed a heavy "Phew!" Communicated With Dead Husband. "Mrs. Abby Miller, widow of Joanith Miller, "Poet of the Sierras," declared in San Francisco, Cal., he had communicated with her from beyond the grave. She is corroborated by her daughter, Banita. This is the strange tale which rivals the psychic revelations of William James and W. T. Steel and all pears to corroborate the belief of Professor Hyslop and other leading psychological research leaders. By some the ghost of the poet is said to have been seen about the calm he built on the "Heights" as his monument. Mrs. Miller also declared that when Joaquin was alive he used to frequently communicate his thoughts to her across the continent. She lived in New York because she had asthma. She added: "Especially in one case was this memorable I became so sorry about my husband, too, ill with fear that he was about to undertake a dangerous mission, that I sent a telegram to inquire about his plans. Back home the answer that he was ever then setting off for Macka's trip was a terrible strain on a pain of tears, but he could not be permitted to give it up. "If we recollect what he does in life there is no reason why he cannot receive them after death. Even the soul may be clothed in a Nite of spirit." Bible Sayas Preacher's Life Rev. Dr. R. E. McClure, factor of the United Presbyterian church and president of the Indiana County Anti-Saloon league, o. Hattersville, Pa. owes his escape from death to a Bible carried under his arm. Returning from a sleek call, Dr. McClure was passing a dark spot when he noticed two men, and at the same time heard a whistle. At the signal one of the men fired at the minister. The bullet struck the Bible, perforating it and passing through Dr. McClure's clothing, struck his skin, without breaking it. Picking up a brick, he hurled it at his assailants, who fired. One of the men lost his hat, which the minister turned over to the police. Dr. McClure has been unrestling in his prosecution of liquor law violators, and to this it attributed the attempt to murder him. --- Girl a Needle Victim. Miss Esther Keller is lying at her home in Reamstown, Pa., in a serious condition and the entire country side is aroused over an attack on her by a masked highwayman, who jabbed a hypodermic needle into her arm, robbed her and left her senseless by the roadside. The young woman was returning from her work. At a lonely point near the town the highwayman jabbed from behind a tree and ordered her to halt. He grasped her arm, and when Miss Keller courageously tried to fight him off, jabbed her with the needle. Miss Keller fainted. She had just received her $25 of $12 a week, and the highways made of with this. --- Girl Gets $20,000 Damages Miss Annie L. Eckert, aged fifteen years, was given a verdict of $20,000 damages against the Public Service Railway company by a jury in the circuit court of Hudson county in Jersey City, N. J.

ADMIRAL T. B. HOWARD. C. W. Arrest Grandson in Death Mystery. Word has been received in Harrisburg, Ia., of the arrest in Pittsburgh of Edward Smith, wanted in connection with the death of his grandfather, John E. Bush. The body of the old man was found in his farming house a few miles north of Harrisburg, last Thursday night. There was a bullet hole through his head, and phyllobians estimated that he had been dead at least twenty four hours. Bush kept considerable money in the house, where he lived alone. Police all over the country have been searching for the grandson ever since the murder. He is a son of Constable Charles E. Smith, of Harrisburg. He was known to have spent some time with his grandfather just before the latter was killed. County Detective Walters left Harrisburg for Pittsburgh to bring the boy back. Becker's Mother Dead. The mother of former Police Lieutenant Charles Becker, who is in the death house in Sing Eing awaiting execution for the part he played in the murder of Herman Rosenthal, died at her home in New York. Mrs. Becker had been bedridden for years. She died in ignorance of her son's plight. For more than a year she had not been permitted to read a newspaper. When her son Charles ceased to visit her, another son, John, told her that Charles was suffering with rheumatism and had been sent to a sanitarium. This explanation satisfied her. Clothes After: Leap to Death in River Frank Keller, twenty years old, was drowned when he jumped into the Delaware river at "Crums" shipyard in Philadelphia with his clothing ablaze. Keller was working inside the torpedo boat Parker, which is nearly completed, when his clothing became ligated by a lighted candle. He ran to the deck and jumped into the river with his clothing in flames. He did not rise to the surface, and it is believed that the shock of plunging into the cold water rendered him unconscious. His body was finally recovered. Burglars · Murder · Farmer John Harrett, a farmer, was murdered, and his daughter, Helen, was knocked unconscious, bound and gagged, in their home at Spraker's Station, near Amsterdam, N. Y. Their assailants escaped and so far have eluded searchers who have worked with bloodhounds. Harrett was known to keep some money hidden in the house, and this is believed to have been the motive for the crime. --- Killed Carrying Home Xmas Tree.

This story of Gibbon, the famous historian, was told by an contemporary: "Gibbon had a small face, almost lost between a high forehead and a big, double chin and a curvature of a nose which was crushed between the encroaching slopes of a pair of baggy cheeks. One day he was introduced by M. de Lauzun to Mme. du Delfand, a blind lady, who was in the habit of passing her hands over the features of her renowned contemporaries when introduced to her in order to get an idea of their appearance. Gibbon received these marks of attention, offering his face to the exploration of the blind lady's fingers. ```markdown ``` blind lady's finger with a delightful trifleiness. "Mine, du Defiant! passed her fingers over his chubby face carefully. She did her utmost to recover some other outstanding trait than the pair of abnormally developed cheeks, but all to no purpose. During the examination expressions of doubt and bewilderment chased each other over the face of the blind woman until last, in an outburst of anger, she set her hands falls by her side and cried out, 'Bah! this is a bad joke!' He Was No Scot. On one occasion Sir Henry Campbell, Hammerman and Taylor, the golf champion, were at Bristol together. A Scotch relative of Sir Henry's earnestly contended that Taylor was of Scottish birth, a claim which Sir Henry was inclined to support one of the guests then intervened. "Well, all I know about Taylor is that he is a very nice man; my golf club engaged him to play an exhibition match at a fixed fee. Taylor duly came. But the weather was so wet that no golf could be played, and when we offered him payment he refused firmly, only taking his bare traveling expenses. Whereupon Sir Henry turned to a captain and said, 'I'm afraid such a fact is quite fatal to our contention.' A. Matter of Course. A famous skier who had always pretended to regal golf as "a game for old men and a lady women" was once persuaded to hit his luck at the sport. Almost the whole club went to the first tee so heIMP drive off. "What have I got to do, daddle, my old friend?" he re:rked, in langual tones. The caddie moved and the cricketer, with proper decoration, drove off by an extraordinary stroke of luck, he drove a beautiful l, which landed just on the edge, the green and slowly tucked down into the hole. The caddie, wild with excitement came dashing back, shouting, "You down in one, air-the ball's in the hole." "Oh it is! I'm gutted of that," replied the mother in reply, "At first I was afraid I must have missed it." Badminton's career GOT RID OF THE BORE. The Method. Though Was Less Tactful Than Clemenceau Intended.

But the senator insisted. It was he said an affair of the utmost urgency, and tomorrow would be too late. So he scribbled the object of his visit on the back of his card, which he gave to the servant to take to his master. M. Clemenceau, somewhat annoyed by this persistence added a second line to the card and gave it to the servant to take to his secretary. M. Clemenceau, now, the second line ran thus "Consol, get rid of this old feel in five minutes." The servant went to look for M. Cussol, but M. Cussol was not there. What was to be done? He had not the courage to disturb his master again, so he took the card to the expectant senator, and "Worry sorry, sir," he told apologetically, "M. Clemente is boss, and M.

W R Alger An Eratic Echo: The late Sir John Long had travelled in most quarters of the globe. On one occasion when visiting Spain he was asked at a courtship by a traveling companion to test the powers of what was desired to be a wonderful eagle. Sir John, slowly and deliberately, in ruffled tongues uttered the words "Dunce Adversus" of the name of the paper he owned "Dunce Courier and Argus"; the name of the opposition paper, came back as the eagle. Sir John's friends had played him a trick Don't Give Him a Chance.

"Well, what of it?" I am not to blame for Mr. Moeder's poor ideas of ideas, am I? demanded Johnny's mother, some what imitation.

Gardenville, N. Dec. 22. William Johnson was shot and killed by the first cousin, Henry Washington, at an entertainment at Old Fellow's Hall in the colored settlement here at 11 o'clock on Saturday night. The shooting was the culmination of a difficulty between Washington and Tom Scott, which occurred about two years ago, in which the former was shot. Both parties, who had apparently become reconciled, met at the entertainment, when some words again passed between them. Washington, claiming he thought Scott would again attack him, took out his gun, a Seal-cathe Colt's automatic revolver, and kept it in his hand. Several of his friends, among whom was Johnson, wishing to avoid any further trouble, attempted to take the gun from Washington, and in the struggle the gun was discharged, the ball penetrating Johnson's face near the left nostril and lodging in the base of the brain, killing him instantly. On Sunday morning Acting Coroner T. W. Ross, with Dr. John W. Scott, as attending physician, held an injured over the body, and a number of witnesses were examined. The boating having been proven entirely accidental, Washington was exonerated by the jury. He was immediately brought before Police Justice Ross and heavily fined for carrying concealed weapons.

A Metaphor With a History. To "know a hawk from a hornshaw" is a metaphor with a current history. It is a comparison drawn from falconry. "Hornshaw" is a corruption of "beronshaw" or going horns, a bird which was a common prey of the falcons. To know a hawk from a hornshaw is therefore to be able to distinguish the falcon from its prey. A further colloquial corruption crept into the phrase "to know a hawk from a handsaw," a form used by Hamlet in one place. Possibly the distinction between a hawk and a hornshaw was found not to be strong enough for the purposes of the proverb. Manchester Guardian His Queen Doctrine. Two centuries have passed since the Scottish judge, Lord Montello, was born. In his origin and progress of Language" he argued that human beings should be studied.

Mrs Mudge sighed and waited sympathetically for the explanation. "I just couldn't stand it," said Owen, rubbling his law.

The story runs that or omen in time a certain Dutch sea captain swore such a fearful oath that he was condemned by the higher powers to beat about the seas until the day of judgments. His vessel is never known to get into port and is seen at unmortal times sailing at an immense rate before the wind under full press of storms. In very stormy weather he sails about the Cape of Good Hope. The exploration is probably found in the waterspout or in some storm driven mist Do You Know Them?

And It Was Those Who Were In the Joke That Got Stung. Dr. H. A. Lawton, whose prowess as a fisherman is sung wherever the name of tarpon is known, several years ago persuaded two Englishmen who visited the Florida coast on the hunt for the big fish that the proper way to catch tarpon was to find where they came up to blow, then sprinkle snuff on the water and but the fish on the bead when they came up to sneeze. In a reminiscent moment the other day, Dr. Lawton referred to his joke on the two Englishmen and then recalled how an English visitor to Florida had unwittingly turned a trick upon him and another practical joker last winter. "I had been telling one Englishman about my trick with the snuff," he said, "and, by Jove, he decided he would play a trick upon a compatriot who was a more recent arrival than himself. At the time we were at Key Largo, after Spanish mackerel. "The newcomer was a bit of a boaster, and when he kept telling us how he was going to put it over us in the matter, of a big catch we smiled knowingly at each other and took his measure. It was the other Englishman who fixed up the trick we played. when the other Englishman had his attention distracted he fastened the three ends with a slip noose upon the other man's line and filled the bucket. Of course the bucket sank, and the Englishman, feeling a sudden weight, began to pull. As he drew in the line of course the bucket slipped down. Finally it reached the hook, and then the fisherman felt a sudden terrific yank. "Now I'll show you bloody Yankees how to get a Spanish mackerel, he shouted in triumph. We said nothing, but grinned at one another. We knew the bucket was all he had on the line. "Well, he pulled and pulled, the bucket jocking from side to side, until finally, with one yank, he landed his catch in the hont. And, bless my eyes," added the doctor, "if it wasn't one of the finest and biggest mackerel I had ever seen. There was no sign of the bucket. "You see," he went on in explanation, "when the Englishman felt the first pull he really had only the bucket on the line. But the sight of that gleaming tin bucket travelling zigzag through the water caught the attention of every Spanish mackerel in the neighborhood, and they all made for it. Only one could get the hook. The others bit at the bucket. They couldn't make an impression on the bucket, so they bit at the strings that held it and cut them in two. So it was that while the Englishman bit on the bucket, the fish bit on his hook, and after all it was we who were in the joke that were stung"—New York Times. Man Supreme Over Self. In the moral world there is nothing impossible if we bring a thorough will to it. Man can do everything with himself, but he must not attempt to do too much with others. William von Humboldt. A Telephone Opiate. The elder's wife was seriously ill, and the doctor advised rest and quiet. But the lady was very devoted to church work and worried herself into hysteria because she could not attend services and hear her favorite pastor preach. "She must not leave the house," warned the doctor, "but you can easily arrange to have her hear the sermon by telephone." The elder gramped the suggestion and made the necessary arrangements for transmitting the sermon into his wife's room. At noon on the Sabbath the doctor called and asked, "How did it work?" "Fine," declared the elder, rubbing his hands gleefully. "Ten minutes after the sermon began she fell sound sleep." -Philadelphia Ledger Bill-Heads, Letter and Note Heads, Envelopes, Business & Visiting Cards, Policies, Medical Blanks, Insurance Blanks, Financial Cards, Lodge Labels, Checks, Check Books, Minutes, Pamphlets, Whole Sheet Handbills, Placards.

It is an unwritten law on shipboard and especially on men-of-war that the quarterback is for the exclusive use of officers, and all good seamen remember it in spite of their ambitions. It once happened that an ancient mariner, a "the stripper," white on shore leave captured a man. Not without difficulty, he mounted the animal and perched himself as near the tail as possible. The male objected in every way Mauy known to a mule and to ways several and unexpected. "Juck, sit more undisships," called out an engineer officer who happened past. "You'll ride easier." "Captain," grinned the idle golf, "this is the first can. I ever commanded, and it's a pity if I can't stay on the quarterback." Robert Banns belongs in the very front rank of the work, great men.

Secretary Gatterson and Secretary Dunn attended that day, and decided that the reprimand which the president directed to should be limited to those responsible for the features of the dinner, regarded by the president as offensive, should take the form of sending each member of the dinner committee a copy of the president's letter. The Wilson letter was addressed to the two secretaries in response to their report on the Carabao dinner, made by direction of the president. As a matter of regulations it is likely that the fact of their being reprimanded will be entered upon the record of each officer who is to receive it. It is felt that the severest punishment of the officers held responsible for the objectionable features of the dinner lies in the publication of the president's letter with its laudest rejections. The officers who will receive the reprimand are the members of the committee which arranged the Cara bao dinner, held in H. I. The committee tee ad as members many of the highest army and navy officers in Washington, including Rear Admiral Thomas B. Howard, Major General W. P. Biddle, until recently common command of the Marine Corps, Brigadier General Frank McIntyre, chief of the insular bureau, and Colonel H. C. Hobland, adjutant general of the army. In the president's letter addressed to Secretary Garrett and Daniels the president says that the officers who were responsible for the program deserve a serious reprimand and asks what is to be the thought of officers of the army and navy who find it good form to bring their official superiors into discipline and the policies of the government. He adds, if this is their idea of fun, what is the reason of duty? If they do not hold their loyalty above allly offers one of childish wit what about their profession do they hold sacred? What seems to have been the features of the officer program held most objectively by President Wilson were the song "known as "Damn, Damn, Damn, the lieutenant," and the natties on Mr. Bryan. HUERTA HALTS BANK RUN Proclaims Holidays to Prevent Withdrawals of Deposits. By a presidential decree every day until the end of the present year is made a legal holiday in order to check the run of the banks in Mexico City, Mexico, particularly that on the Bank of London and Mexico. On the pronunciation of this decree the Bank of London and Mexico which has closed a few hours earlier reopened its doors, but refrained from paying deposits. Provisional President Huerta says in the decree he deems such action necessary to protect the banks until public confidence is more nearly restored. By the decree the banks are absolved from meeting any obligation until Jan. 1. It applies to all banking houses whether a bank of issue or not. With the exception of the Bank of London and Mexico and the Central bank, none has yet taken advantage of the degree, and business at the other institutions is being conducted as usual. Crowds gathered about the doors of the two banks mentioned, but there was no disorder. Both banks are being strongly guarded by police. The elimination of General Huerta by Jan. I is the only thing that can thwart the complete financial wreck of Mexico, in the opinion of business men in Mexico City and throughout the republic. It was learned from a semi-official source that the business men of the capital, acting with those in Vera Cruz and elsewhere, are planning to lay the situation before General Huerta, asking him to get out, on the ground that a crash of all banks is inevitable if he remains in office.

Where have you seen these ```markdown ``` POULTRY HOUSE AT GOVERNMENT POU TRY FARM, GELENVILLE, MN considerable amount of grain dropped upon the ground which could not be utilized other than by poultry. This grain in most cases would be a total loss to the average farmer unless eaten by the fowls. On most farms pigs is available for feeding. Its value as an egg producer is not exceeded by any other one feed in existence. Chief from the barn loft, containing many feeds that are readily consumed by poultry, can be used as a bod or litter in the poultry house in stead of being wasted. It is essential to successful poultry raising to know at all times the ages of your fowls. This can be readily done by the punching chicks as soon as hatched, which will oblate the killing of the young hens and pullets before their days of usefulness are over. To do this use a small harmless punch, performate the outside way of the right foot between the toes, and the following year punch on the visible web of the right foot. The age of the chick can thus be told over by your. As soon as the hen starts to molt offer the second living season it is advisable to market her, as in meeting she will produce very few eggs, and by keeping her through this period, which hats about thirty days, there is little to calm and often the fowls the during this time.

A Great Deal Depends Upon Choosing of Proper Time. Corn and various sorghum crops will most generally be used for slage crops. Corn should be cut for the silo when the grain has begun to harden. There should still be a sufficient amount of green material in the plant to make it pack solidly in the silo. It is oftentimes very difficult to harvest a crop in this ideal condition. The use of water in milling is almost a necessity where dried out corn is placed in the silo. The exact amount necessary cannot be stated in positive terms. Though water must be added so that the material will pack solidly and pass through the necessary fermentation. The most satisfactory way to apply this water is by directing a stream into the lower The Kaitlin and sorghum should be allowed to become well matured like wheat in order to make ideal allage. These crops as a rule remain green much later in the season, and the period in which they can be properly placed in the soil is longer than it is with corn. It is especially important that the sweet sorghum allowed to reach full maturity before being placed in the soil. These crops have shown themselves to be very valuable as allage crops. These crops sometimes become frosted by an unseasonable frost. It is then necessary to place them in the soil at once whatever the stage of maturity. If left in the field after the leaves have been frosted a considerable portion of the fiber, part will dry up and be lost.

Acrobatic Farm and Garden Important to Obtain Combination of Grasses With Long Season. Providing permanent pasture is one of the matters that furnish much material for thought on the part of the farmer. It is not possible to give any set rules as to what kinds or different sorts of grass should be sown for a permanent pasture. Certain combinations of grass furnish better pasture than others, but the conditions may be such that a good catch is impossible. A combination that will furnish pasturage during a long period is desirable. Under ordinary conditions a combination of red clover, alfalfa, timothy, orchard grass, meadow fescue and tall meadow out grass will form a pasture THE LION that is good for all summer usage. It may be, however, that some of these grasses will not do well under the local conditions and must be omitted in favor of others. How much seed to use is a matter that must be fully considered. Some may put on plenty of seed, which is a very good rule to go by, but it is a needless expense to use more than is necessary. The proper amount to use will depend to some extent upon the kind of soil. Under average conditions I would use about four quarts of clover, two quarts each of timothy and alfalfa and one peck each of mendow fescue and tall meadow oat grass on each acre. Some may think this too great a quantity, but remember that it is better to get a full stand at once than to wait two or three years.—Farm Programs --- The foolish virgins were as good as the wise ones, and were only foolish because they did not provide surplus oil for a possible emergency. He prepared for the unexpected thing to happen. Of such is wisdom on the farm. THE USE OF WINDBREAKS. They Afford Protection at All Sessions in Certain Localities. The windbreak has and little attention in the southwest for the reason that it has been little used, and, in fact, no great demand has been felt for it. But there are many sections of the plains country and the northern Panhandle in Oklahoma and Texas where windbreaks would afford considerable protection to trees. Briefly stated, windbreaks afford protection in three ways—winter protection, summer protection, protection during harvesting time with such fruits as apples. Where there are heavy winter winds the windbreak protects the soil by retaining leaves and other vegetation so the snow will form a cover. It reduces winter killing of birds in such tender fruits as peaches, cherries, etc. In summer the windbreak may save the trees when heavily loaded with fruit; it reduces evaporation in some instances; keeps sand from blowing where the soil is very sandy. It may prevent fruits from being blown from the trees in harvest time. The trees suitable for a windbreak will depend upon the locality, the purpose for which the break is used and the soil. Some of the trees commonly used as poplars, willows, privet, cottonwood, bola d'arc, pimò, etc. In cold climates the bees are now in a state of repose, and it is little short of criminal to disturb them, as it will only do them more harm than good. All progressive bee men know that where the bees were properly prepared for winter there need be no concern for them now. And even though the snow may cover the apiary completely, no harm need be feared, as the snow adds to their warmth. Late in the fall, after the close of the honey flow, bees cluster in a compact mass for the winter, usually on the central combs, and so remain until settled weather in the spring or until brood rearing is well established. If the beekeeper tries to winter bees on the summer stands in any form of a hive other than a chaff or double walled hive, he will probably lose more in the value of bees than the extra expense he would incur in making shaft hives of some kind.

Every farmer knows that corn stored in the ordinary crith is exposed to more or less damage from rats, mice, birds and chickens, and he makes allowance for this loss. The extent of the damage from these sources depends upon the kind of crith used and the length of time the corn is in storage. In the old fashioned rail crith, which is now virtually out of date in the older states, the loss was very great. During the last few years the steel crib has come into use as a rodent proof structure. There are several makes and styles of these cribs upon the market, but the principle involved in each is the same. A description of two steel cribs in use on the Ohio State university farm may be of interest to farmers who are unfamiliar with this method of storing corn. They are made of perforated galvanized steel, circular in form, and stand on concrete foundations. The perforations admit air, and further ventilation is provided by a perforated steel tube extending up through the center of the crib and out the top. The roof is of steel. These cribs have a capacity of 600 bushels each. They cost $150 aplece, not including the foundation and the cost of erecting. In laying the foundation for the steel crith the excavation is made, and a foot or so of childer is put down. On top of this several inches of cement are laid, then a layer of steel sheets and finally another coat of cement. The steel sheets prevent the moisture from rising from the soil. The floor is raised slightly in the center, so that if water should gain entrance it would immediately run out of the crith. These criths have been in use over three years and have proved entirely satisfactory. They are absolutely nut, mouse, bird and chicken proof and, with the aid of a good padlock, are thief proof. Weights were kept of corn stored in them for over a year, and the only loss was due to evaporation of moisture. The steel crith then appears to be the safest place for the farm storage of corn.—Country Gentleman Movable Next Boxes.

CARE OF THE DUCKS. Plenty of Drinking Water is an essential. Water in abundance for drinking purposes is a necessity, and sometimes sometimes make a great mistake. Gutenberg Was a Good Printer L. KORNATY He was the first in his line. WE'RE FIRST IN THIS TOWN. Don't you need circulars or new letterheads? Tailing to recognize that fact, says the Farm and Fireside. Ducks fed on soft mush must have a chance to dip their bills in water to wash out their nostrils or they will be in danger of anothering to death, as the mash gets into their nostrils. Indeed, they sometimes get their nostrils filled with mud and rush to the water dish. It will be seen that the dish in which water is given must be deep enough so that the ducks may bury their bills in the water. Self-feeding fountains are best for young ducklings, as they prevent the youngsters getting their feathers wet, something which must be carefully avoided. On large duck farms the ducklings are always driven to the houses on the approach of a storm. It is well to have the water dishes in the duckhouses all night, as they frequently drink. Many growers keep a lighted lantern in each house at night in order to keep the ducks from becoming nervous or alarmed and piling up in a corner.

Shortly after the trial was resumed, while Dr. Smith E. Joliffe, the leading ally for the defense, was under cross-examination by Assistant District Attorney Ibelahanty, Thomas Flanagan, captain of the court officers, told the young woman, whose regular attendance at the trial has created some comment, that a young man desired to speak to her in the corridor. The girl turned pale and left the court room. At the door she was met by a clean cut young man. "You lied to me, Helen," he said, "I've caught you at it. You said you were not attending this trial, and now I've found you here. Give me back the engagement ring. Our engagement is broken." The girl wept hysterically and pleaded that she had done nothing wrong, but the young man refused to be placated. "No, I will have nothing more to do with you," he insisted. "You may keep the ring if you wish, but our engagement is broken. Any girl who would come to a trial like this day after day and fill her mind with the fifth of such testimony as is offered here is not fit to be any man's wife."

In storing fruit for winter, says Better Farming, the three essentials to be borne in mind are good ventilation, a proper temperature and moderately dry atmosphere. Unless they can all be kept it is better to dispose of your fruit at prevailing market price rather than take the risk of loan by rotting. The cellar in which the fruit is kept must be well drained, with double walls above grated. Double walls age Seller nonconductors than single walls. An outer entrance to the cellar is indispensable, as are also small double glass windows placed at least on two sides of the cellar, preferably on north and south sides. On warm days they can be used to good advantage in regulating the temperature. So storage cellar should contain a furnace, even when there is a partition wall between it and the fruit, as undue warmth cannot be prevented. The right temperature is a few degrees above the freezing point, about 30 degrees F. The temperature may vary considerably, however, without serious damage, but in very cold weather it is well to keep a thermometer close by and apply artificial heat if necessary. Barrols and crates or hanging bins are the best utensils for storing. Hanging bins are very convenient, as the fruit gets the full advantage of free circulation of air from beneath and through side slats, besides it can be easily sorted from them. Whatever utensil is used fruit should be raised up enough ```markdown ``` WINTER APPLICATION ON A SPRAYED TIME to allow air circulation beneath as this causes against dampness and mold. There is much advantage in knowing of the keeping qualities of the different varieties. The Rhode Island Greening is not so good if keeper in cold storage as the Faldinbj, but it will keep in the cellar if placed in a dry location. Talmon Sweets keep well in cold storage and also in cellar if stored in barrels and are at their best during February and March, when they have a fine flavor. Rumbo and Fallowwater are also excellent keepers both in cool and cold storage, but the Rumbo is not a late keeper, being at its best in December, while Fallowwater is most excellent late in winter and early spring. Pears have much the same keeping qualities as apples and are stored the same; but, as a rule, they do not keep so well. In storing fruit either in the cellar or cold storage there are two objects to be accomplished; one is to preserve it, the other to retain the flavor. Storing vegetables, especially cabbage, in the same cellar may be detrimental to the flavor of cabbage. Damp, ill smelling cellars will very likely render fruit less palatable too. ```markdown ``` Farm profits will be increased more substantially by increasing increase yields than by increasing acreages.-Farm and Fire side. Orchard and Garden. Trump the snow well about apple and plum trees to prevent injury by mice. One of the winter tasks that is too often neglected in the family orchard and vineyard and oh ornamentals is judicious clitting back and thinning out of the new growth and of such of the old wood as can advantageously be removed. There is probably no better covering for the strawberry bed during the winter than a layer of good, clean straw of some kind, though some growers prefer to use a mould of strawy moisture. Whatever material is used, it should be as free as possible from the seeds of grass and weeds, otherwise they will cause trouble, when they come up among the plants in the spring. The main reason for covering strawberry plants is to prevent the alternate freezing and thawing of the soil during cold nights and warm days. When plants are not protected they are likely to have their crowns and roots injured and may die. In addition to preventing this, the mulch will help retain moist ture and may retain the blooming period for a week or ten days. The latter is advantageous, since the killing of the blooms by the late frosts in the spring may be avoided. Striking an Average." "How much money do you think he's worth?"

Gluseppe Campanari, baritone of the Metropolitan Opera company in Grau and Corrieday days, now spends his summers at Slasconet, having been invaded there by his friend, former Justice Flammer of New York. Of all the baritone's parts his favorite is that of Ecumilio, the torader in "Carmen." Judge Flammer, who is an enthusiastic golfer, perused Signor Campanari to undertake to learn the game on the Slasconet links. The baritone drove off. His ball executed a parabolic left hand curve and landed gracefully between two cows grassing on the outskirts of the links. The baritone gazed wistfully at the ball, but did not move. "Your ball!" said the former magistrate. "There, it is between those two cows. Go and get it." Signor Campanari took a few steps forward and then a step back. "They look dangerous," he said doubtfully. Mr. Flammer looked at him for a moment in a palmed silence. "Campanari," he said at length, "excuse me, but you're a — of a torader." "Yesterday" Something spoke in hallowed hush, Dirigible, gray and cold. No one listening to its wall- Yesterday grown old. Something spoke in iron voice: "Do you mind my will?" Look ye not at me askance. Today may bring ye ill! Something drifted down the stream Of memory grown bright. Full with tears of long ago. Not knowing this day's light. Something hidden, something sad, Of human love and strife. Laugh ye not at yesterday. For yesterday was life. -Julia Cook Watson Painful Experience. "After I had written 'The Wake of the Sun' I sold it for $50," writes Mr. Murley Roberts in "The Private Life of Henry Maitland." "When this bargain was finally struck Mr. Jones Brown said to me, 'Now, Mr. R., as the business is all done, would you mind telling me quite frankly to what extent this book of yours is true?' I replied. "It is as true in every detail as it can possibly be.' Then you mean to say, he asked, 'that you actually did starve as you relate?' I said. 'Certainly I did, and I might have made it a deal blacker if I had chosen.' He fell into a momentary reverie and, shaking his head, murmured, 'Ah, hunger is a dreadful thing—I once went without dinner myself.'" Very Medeat. The following paragraph appeared in an advertisement sent out by a manufacturer of patent medicine in Calcutta: "My humble self is the grandson and pupil of that greatly renowned hakim, late Galeb All Sahib, whose wonderful treatments created wonders and astonishments all over India. Therefore my humble self can take pride that I have become well versed in all that great Unnail system can teach us. My humble self can boldly say that medicines prepared by me are all genuine and infallible. My humble self has been practicing in Calcutta since the end of the last century and holds testimonials of the beat men of the country certifying innumerable wonderful curves performed by me in absolutely hopeless cases. One should not speak much about oneself."—Everybody's. They Called Him Vanus It is curious how inconsistent are the prejudices of people in regard to the use of heathen names. Mr. Payn, in his "Glems of Memory," tells an amusing story of Dean Burton, who objected to the name of the goddess of beauty, but found no fault with that of the god of the woods. An infant was brought to the church for christening, and the name proposed for it was Vanus. "Vanus?" repeated the dean. "I suppose you mean Venus. Do you imagine I am going to call a Christian child by that name, and least of all a male child?" The father of the infant urged that he only wished to name it after his grandfather. "Your grandfather!" cried the dean. "I don't believe it. Where is your grandfather?" He was produced—a poor old soul of eighty or so, bent double and certainly not looking in the least like the goddess in question. "Do you mean to tell me, sir, that any clergyman ever christened you 'Venus,' as you call it?" "Well, no, sir. I was christened Sylvanus, but they always calls me 'Vanu.'" Mark Twain's Feat Mark Twain about the time that he was working hard upon one of the earlier books that brought his fame called for a tour of Europe with his family. He kept up his writing on shipboard and only left it at intervals for brief moment. One day an approaching storm drove him inside the cabin, and he went back to work, leaving word with his daughter, then a very little girl, to explain his pleasures. "If they set for me," he said to her "may that I won't be long. I am only going to write an anecdote." A little later the child was sequestered "Where has your father gone?" was the inquiry. "He won't be long." Hoped the child "He said he it only going to ride a canopy boat." · HIS OWN LAST WAGER. Even Though It Wan a Sure Loser, He Was Perfectly Satisfied. They were talking in the smoking room about stochastic sharpers, and Alf Hayman, the impressor, said: "I'll tell you a story about an American easy mark. "Mr. Easy Mark, on the way back home from a summer tour of Europe, shared a satirical with two men who he had reason to believe were sharpers. "He believed they were sharpers because they were continually proposing the most tempting bets to him—bets where it seemed impossible for him to lose—but yet, as soon as he put up his money, the two men took it away from him. "So he came to believe that the bets were crooked. Nevertheless they were also so tempting that he couldn't resist them, and finally his funds got down to $3.50. "On the last day of the voyage he salk to the two men: "Well, follows, you've cleaned me out of everything but my honor and $8.50, and I'm willing to risk the $8.50 on a last bet with you, provided you'll let me decide what the bet is to be." "They agreed, for they were curious, and there was little to be lost." "Well, fellows," he said, "this is the bet. I'll bet you $850 that as we sell up the bay I'll yell louder than the ship's steam whistle." "He looked in their astonished faces and added: "Of course, I'll lose, but, by gosh, I know the whistle can't be fixed."—Washington Star. Strike Hard The world is no longer clay, but rather iron. In the hands of its workers, and men have got to hammer, out a place for themselves by steady and rugged blows - Emerson. Life and Love. In the Democratic cloak room of the house not long ago a statesman, having discussed at length the tariff, currency reform and the Central American situation, announced kindly: "Now, I give you fellows the difference between life and love." Everybody immediately expressed interest to know the difference. "Life," he said, "is just one fool thing after another. Love is just two fool things after each other."—Popular Mugnzine. Right In His Line. "If I ever have to choose a disease," said Weary Walker, "I'll pick neurathein." "Wot's good for it. Weary?" "Complete rest." Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The crayfish, which may be described as a fresh water lobster, usually lives in a purely aquatic life and keeps to the river bed. Some of the crayfish found in Australia, however, have foraken the water and excavate burrows in damp soil. The tunnel leading to the heart of the taurow is free from water, but water is always present in the chambers at the end where the crayfish lives. They do much damage to artificial water courses in the mining districts by riddling the banks and dams. Such [ngratitude] Briggs--So Mudge is getting better! Bragg--You. He will soon be all right now. But, talking about sells, you know we had nearly $100 raised to put up a nice monument for him, as no one thought he could recover.

The bony ridge of his face dishes slightly from the point where the face narrows toward the nostrils. His ears are well out, sensitive and far apart, with a well-demanded ridge of bone extending across the top of the head between them. Always feel for this ridge in Judging a horse. The eye should be large, clear and bright, with a prominent ridge of bone along the inner and upper edge of the socket—London Answers. DECEPTION The essence of lying is in deception, not in words. A lie may be told by silence, by equivocation, by the accent on a syllable, by a glance of the eye attaching a peculiar significance to a sentence, and all those kinds of lies are bower by many degrees than a lie plainly worded. No form of blinded conscience is so far sunk as that which comforts itself for having deceived because the deception was by gesture or silence instead of utterance.—John Rushin. In the Dark. The late professor Jebb once asked a student to construct a passage from the Greek. The undergraduate, who was unprepared, began, "The dawn—the dawn"—"Yes, yes; go on!"

An amusing story comes from Paris in connection with M. Jules Claret, the famous manager of the national theater, the Comedie Française. One of the "supers" failed to appear at a performance of "Phedre" the other evening. He had only to walk on with the crowd, but M. Claret keeps an eye on all these details, and next morning the "super" received a letter signed by M. Claret saying that he would be fined two francs for having been absent without leave. The resourceful "super" promptly went to an autograph collector and sold M. Claret's letter for 10 francs, thus making a proof out of his own magnificence—Philadelphia Lodge.
