ALPHA PHI ALPHA FRATERNITY Holds Successful Convention In Washington—Will Issue New Publication. The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Negro inter-collegiate Greek-letter Society, held its 6th Annual Convention at the request of the Beta Chapter, Howard University, on December 29, 20 and 21st, 1912. When President Charles H. Garvin called the convention to order there were delegates present from chapters of the following colleges: Cornell, Yale, Howard, Medical School of Illinois, Wilberforce, Virginia, Union University, University of Minnesota, University of Pittsburg, Syracuse University, Lincroix, Ohio State University and the University of Michigan. There were also delegates present from the Alpha Alumni Chapter of New York City and the Alpha Lambda Chapter of Louisville, Kentucky. The Fraternity now numbers among its members nearly five hundred men. Among its honorary members are some of the race's strongest leaders. Among the features of the convention were the pertinent remarks of Dean Lewis B. Moore of Howard University, Dwight O. W. Holmes of Baltimore, Roscoe C. Giles of the Alpha Alumni Chapter, Dean George W. Cook of Howard and President James W. Parker of the Beta Chapter, Dean Cook and Moore and Mr. Holmes are honorary members of the Fraternity. The spirit of the convention was one of earnestness and high purpose. Much legislature of an important nature was effected. Men from a wide area came together for the purpose of forming a more perfect union and bettering their race and culture. The Alpha Phi Alpha Society is unique in that it is committed to a departure from the old line fraternities—both in spirit and method, reflecting its members from college men of scholarly institutions, and moral standards, the fraternity's purposes to discern and act on the most vital problems which affect the Negro Race. The tone of the convention, composed of select young men from Northern and Western Universities and a few of the recognized Negro Universities to the south was optimistic rather than pessimistic in its outlook of the Negro's future. The Fraternity has developed among its members a well-defined social consciousness. It is encouraging colored youth to attend college. It has taken a stand against the undemocratic trend of racial conditions in the United States: It aims to ally itself with the noblest and best in morals and scholarship: The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity will issue in February the first number of its official organ, "The Sphinx." This publication will tend to enlighten the public as to the ideals and accomplishments of the organization. As officers for the ensuing year the following men were elected: Henry Lake Dickerson, Ohio State, President; Raymond W. Cannon, Minnesota, Vice-President; Renee W. Rom, Cornell, Secretary; and Howard W. Long, Howard, Treasurer. The Seventh Annual Convention will be held at the seat of the Theta Chapter in Chicago, December 28-30, 1914. Colored Man and. Wife, Kept From Theatre Seats, Start Suit. Refused admission to the main auditorium of the Odeon Theatre, Charles Lanear at 190 Bank Street, a colored barber and his wife, Alfreda Lanear, have brought suit against the Newark Theatrical Company, which conducts the theatre. Claiming they were discriminated against because of their color Lanar and his wife, ask $500 damages. Lanear alleges he purchased a ticket at the theatre on the night of December 22. He says the ticket entitle him and his wife to seats in the orchestra. When presented at the door the tickets were refused, it is alleged. Lanear and his wife left the theatre and returned later with a witness and again sought admission. Lanear says he was told to find seats in the balcony which he refused to do. Alfred-A. Diurr, as attorney, filed papers in the suit yesterday in the Second District Court. The attorney says he will test the case under the State statutes bearing on civil rights. According to Mr. Diurr, the company is not incorporated.—Newark News. Virginia Teachers Make Good Shows ing in Improvement of Schools. The Negro Teacher's Association and School Improvement League of Virginia is a unique institution. While it leads strong encouragement to the purely professional spirit among the teachers, it does more in fact. It induces a friendly rivalry between the counties to see which can do the most in the matter of making improvements in the village. The aim of collecting these statistics and measuring them in an annual report is obtained by Fred R. A. REV. DR. W. F. GRAHAM, President, American Beneficial Insurance Co. Long, Principal of the Christiansburg Industrial Institute, who has been President of the State Association for the past three years. The 1912 report showed that $15,383.67 was raised for school improvement. The 1913 report showed that $24,894.06 was raised for similar purposes, a gain of over 60 percent. All this represents the efforts of colored people to better the condition of their schools. In the 1913 report Henrico county leads by raising $2,155. Brunswick county came next with $1831.35, and Gloucester county third with $1726.25. Eight divisions raised over $1000 each, while nine raised between $500 and $1000 each. The total came from thirty counties, but included also $1396.12 that was raised by 15 Local Leagues outside of thirty counties mentioned above. It is expected that the reports to be made at Alexandria, at the Annual Meeting, February 26th and 27th, will show considerable increase over the figures of last year. The President is urging all County Leagues to send a representative and a full report to Alexandria. REV. DR. W. F. President, American Belt Westwood Baptist Sunday School Wine Banner.

The First Baptist Church was magnificently decorated last Tuesday night with Pythian colors and flowers. On the roostrum, resting on an easel was a large sised portrait of Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr. It was evident that there was no lack of interest in the meeting from the large number who were out to witness the installation exercises of more than six hundred officers of the subordinate lodges and courts of Richmond. The entire first floor was occupied by these officers. THE OPENING EXERCISES Promptly at 9 o'clock, the Pythian ode was sung and then the Scriptures were read by Rev. J. E. Fountain. Prayer was offered by Rev. L. J. Morris, after which the preliminary arrangements were concluded. Deputy Grand Chancellor Robert Gray had charge of the lodges and Deputy Grand Worthy Counselor An- W. F. GRAHAM, Beneficial Insurance Co. na Taylor had charge of the courts. On the lower rostrum were seated, in addition to the Grand Chancellor and Deputies, Past Grand Chancellor W. R. Green, Grand Keeper of Records and Seal Thomas M. Crump, Grand Master of Exchequer B. H. Peyton, Major D. B. Cornish of Petersburg, Grand Attendant W. Henry Jones, Grand Attendant J. A. Mons, Mrs. Martha Harris and Mrs. Lucy Peters of Petersburg. THE DUTIES OF OFFICERS Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr. then addressed the officers explaining the duties and responsibilities of each. His explanation was to the point. He also discussed the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia, N. A., S. A., K., A. and A. and the Supreme Lodge, K. of P. His method of asking questions and answering them was entirely satisfactory and at the conclusion no one responded to his request for other questions than those propounded to himself and answered by him. He then left the rostrum and proceeded to the outside of the Church, preparatory to the installation of the officers. He was accompanied by Grand Master-at-Arms W. H. Willis, Grand Keeper of Records and Seal, Thomas M. Crump and Grand Master of Exchequer B. H. Peyton. THE CLOSING EXERCISES Four altars with Bible thereon had been placed in the main alley of the church for the obligation of the large number of officers. Preceded no by the Grand Master-at-Arms the party erected and the Grand Chancellor, and Irand Worthy Counsellor took charge of the gathering and proceeded to install the officers. This was speedily accomplished and by 10:30 the last word had been said, the collection lifted and the benefit announced by Rev, Dr. W. T. Johnson. A vote of thank was tendered the Committee of Arrangements, Mrs M. L. Chille, Chairman, Mrs. Anna Taylor, Mrs. Lucy Cross, Mrs. Mildred Johnson, Mrs. Kate Thomas, Col. Willis Wyatt, Col. W. Henry Jones, the Church and the others who assisted in the affair. Rev.

A visit to the building last Wednesday showed that the heating plant had been installed, the new furniture in place and the clerks working just as though they had been in the building for months. The first floor will be leased to tenants. The President, Dr. W. F. Graham has a cosy office and its privacy is a thing to be admired. The front door has been lettered in gold leaf.

Vaccination Alone Will Stop Disease's Richmond, Va., Jany. 14.—(Special)—Within the last few days the State Board of Health has received notice of more cases of smallpox in different sections of the Commonwealth. While no outbreaks of serious dimensions have been reported to the Board, health officers are now hopeful that the disease will be checked without more extensive precautions than are now being taken. In another special smallpox warning, given out today, the Board urges general vaccination as the only means of preventing the reappearance of the disease in parts of the State now free from it. The removal from place to place of persons who have unwittingly been exposed to smallpox constitutes, in the judgment of the Board, a danger that can only be avoided by general vaccination. The Board announces, also, that copies of its bulletins on smallpox, as well as of its publications on the other winter diseases, can be had upon Anderson, and General Sick Inspector, R. H. Fauntleroy, General Attorney, J. Thomas Howin, all are alert and hunters, and its corps of managers, clerks and agents all over the field bospak the success of the company. The managers and agents are poilto and ready to serve the public. Premiums are in the reach of all. Benefits compare favorably with any. This Company complies with all rules of the Department and looks after its affairs in a business-like way. Join today: Do not hesitate.

NEWSP Novelized From the Exciting Play of the Same Name By BERTRAND BABCOCK Copyright 1972 by Cecil Raleigh and H. Hamilton by arrangement with the Drury Lane theater of London. SYNOPSIS Lady Diana, debarred from seeing a trial of The Whip, meets a handsome amateur artist near Lord Brancaster's estate. He goes away with a strange dark woman whom Lady D Intractively dislikes. Mrs Beamish is jealous of Tom Lampert, the Whip trainer. Captain Station Lady Dílis cousin, has an Intruder in Miltle Anson, sister of Jockey Harry Anson. Nartors seeks more stable information about The Whip. CHAPTER V. ACROSS the meadows and through Beverley wood Harry Anson The Whip's jockey, followed his sister. The manner of the girl was furious, and accidentally she looked back as though she suspected she was being followed. At such times Harry, in the dusk of the evening, took advantage of what ever cover there was. So Myrtle, with out being more than half conscious of another's presence, finally arrived in the Italian garden that stretched and sloped away from Falconburst to the south. Now, he thought, he would find out to whom Myrtle had been giving news of the races in the Beverley stables. But in his haste to enter the garden, too, and conceal himself, he stumbled over a small rose bush whose small branches had needed trimming by the gardener. With a shudder Myrtle turned and saw him. But, nevertheless, with the strategy of a woman, she at once put him on the defensive. "Harry, what are you doing here?" she demanded. Harry explained that Lord Beverley had sent for him, as he had. But, in turn, he asked: "What are you doing here? I've seen you come silkling along this many a time. Some one's been talking. Things have got out about the horses. Who talk?" "I don't know," said Myrtle sullenly. "I do," said Harry. "A girl. Who for? For some one who's made a fool of her. But I'll find the blackguard out, and when I do"— On his way to the library, where he had an engagement with Lord Beverley, Tom Lambert, the trainer, came into the garden at this moment, and the furious sense of Harry at once jumped to the same conclusion which had been troubling Mrs. Beamish. Instantly the boy walked up to the porphy but sturdy elder man and shook his fist under Lambert's nose. "I'll stand no wrong—not with my sister," he blustered. "Young idiot!" returned Lumberd, savagely aware that the world seemed in conspiracy with Mrs. Beanmish. "Perhaps," exclaimed Harry. "But I'm not a blackguard." Mrs. Beamish came slowly toward the castle and then stopped abruptly as she heard their heated words. "For tuppence I'd put my stick around you," shouted the furious Lambert, raising his cane. "Two found the stable mouse, Mr. Lambert," went on Harry, rage blinding his eyes and judgment alike. "Some one tells Myrtle stable secrets for her to send outside. And why does she do it? Won't a girl do anything for a man when he's fooled her, got her under his thumb?" Lambert could stand nothing more, and he seized the toy by the shoulder, shaking him savagely while he raised his stick for chantishment. Quickly Mrs. Beamish interposed, released Harry and walked between them much as a referee might have done in the prize ring. "If you'd only heard what he said," panted Lambert, ready to take advantage of the slightest opening between the two men that Mrs. Beamish might leave. "I did," she returned in her dry tone of suspicion. "He has my sympathy." The right left the spirit of Lambert at once. This woman whom he loved was forever suspecting him ground-lamely. "You think I'd go courting a girl that age?" he said scornfully to his elderly friend. Mrs. Beamish smiled bitterly. "I certainly hoped you knew better at your age," she shrugged. Then with an adopt resumption of that dignity which because he so well I "Harry, what are you doing here?" she demanded. she sent Myrtle back to the Anson cottage and Harry to see Lord Beverley. "And when you get back to the stable," Lambert could not resist calling after Harry, "you know what's waiting for you." "Coward!" sputtered Mrs. Bomham when they were once more alone. "I've seen you talking to the girl," returned Mrs. Beamish coldly and laughfully. "There was something wrong with the boy," explained Lambert. "Now we know what it is," came from her. "Well, I will be"—began Lambert. "You certainly will be if you don't reform at once," she said tartly as she gathered her skirts carefully about her, ready to leave him with all the scorn at the command of fluttering petticans. "And you'll get into all sorts of difficulties. If you don't look sharp you'll find yourself the central figure in a big breach of promise suit. And she'll get big damages. Serves you right, you old fool." And then she was gone, leaving Lambert assasinating several rare shrubs with his sane. "Alone in the Italian garden were Mrs. D'Agulis and Captain Greville Sartoris. There was a certain kinship of spirit between the two. Sartoris was cool and inclusive—so was the woman. Sartoris had not hesitated at much to gain his small sporting ends, neither would she. He was now on the point of anything criminal that would advance his pocketbook, so would she be. Added to this, they had known one another infinitely in London in a certain society in which Mrs. D'Aquila was not at home and which Sartoris sought occasionally. They had heard the verdict of the conanitation of surgeons and physicians, and it was presented to them by Sir Andrew Bock. An operation would do no good, Brancaster might do that night or he might begin to mend. Once his recov- "An injury to the brain such as he has. received." Mr Andrew had said, "often knocks a bit out of the memory." And now Mrs. D'Aquila sat thinking over his words as she had just come from the chamber of Brancaster, while Sartoria, equally thoughtful, smoked his strong and perpetual cigarette at her side. Finally the woman raised her eyes broodingly to his thoughtful ```markdown ``` "For tuppence I'd put my stick around you." Face as they sat together on a stone bench. "Groville," she said somberly, "I have lost my chance." He started. "Eh, Norn, what's that?" he asked. "I have lost my chance—of becoming—a first class widow," he said in deadly calm tones. "Whose?" "Brancaster's." "Rats." "Fact." "He'd really have married you?" "He would." "Rubbish—I beg your pardon." "Certainly," went on the woman. "You don't understand Brancaster. He's a 'pre' something or other. That's where I come in. I'm long and I'm lank. He calls it nosthetic. I dye my hair price. He calls it Titan and Burne-Jones. I can pant and whisper at the piano under a pink lamp shade, with the soft pedals down, while I look unutterable yearnings into space. I can bubble second hand philosophy—French philosophy—in the moonlight. He draws and he paints and, like most men, he is romantic; like real noblemen, he is chivalrous; like most gentlemen, he is generous. He thinks I have been misunderstood and harbly judged. I'm certain that if some day I got him in the right mood, in tears and a tongown, with my hair down and a humidum bottle on the mantelpiece, you know—why, one day it was as near as this." To the amazement of the captain she took from her handbag and gave to him a special license to marry, dated but a month before. Sartorius sat bolt upright on the bench they were jointly occupying. "Why didn't you?" he shot out. "Some rot about me in the papers— er" She made a vague gesture. "There's more in about you this morning," he said. "You're made divorce rather a hobby, haven't you?" But she didn't note his last words. "I could have talked him out of it," she went on. "Now there'll never be another chance. It's awfully rough luck. I might be a widow, Lady Bran-caster. If anything happened tonight. Funny situation if I'd married him last week, and he recovered, and then, as Sir Andrew said, couldn't remember anything he had done." There was a period of silence between them, while both stared straight ahead. An idea seemed to be in the air. Neither afterward knew just which of them had thought of it first. But after a moment they turned with a common impulse to start understandingly at one another. "Suppose"—he said in that sinister fashion he had at times. "I'm devilishly hard up," he said. "So am I." she returned. Sartoris swallowed hard, then when he began to speak the thought that was vaguely in both their minds his first words were tremulous, but as he went on his tones became cold, delicately emotionless. "Suppose tonight you drive up in your motor—to a village church—and the date in the register and on the certificate were put back ten days and the names came out as yours and Brancaster's?" he asked. In her excitement, now that their hitherto unspoken mutual thought was out, she got to her feet. "Iimpossible!" she exclaimed. "The risk!" "What risk? A bure chance of recovery—and none of memory. You heard Sir Andrew. He'll never be able to deny that he'd married you, since he wouldn't be able to remember anything that had happened during this period. And when he'd forgotten the special license, the marriage certificate would remind him. Where's your pluck?" In her turn the woman clinched her fists and swallowed a lump in her throat. "Where's your parson?" she asked. He smiled pleasantly at the prospect. "How much?" she asked in a hard voice, thinking of the only motive that could impel him she knew. With a shrug of his shoulders. Sartoris returned: "We needn't bargain. I'll see to my share." "Where's your parson?" she asked again. As if in answer to her urgent request for a spiritual adviser the Rev. Vernor Haasam passed along the terrace on his return to the vicarage. With a contemptuous gesture Bartoris indicated the man. "There he is," said be. "Then with a quick stride he paused before the clergyman and stood directly in his path, while the woman, mink down on the bench again, covering for the moment her face with her hands. "Well, Hanlan," said Barbari, looking into the other's face, "what are "I hope you are doing all well combated," I lean on Sarbaria. "But I means in the image K" "I am taking the vicar's duty," he only, as he had sank beneath the other's contempt. "Has the dear any idea who you are?" came instantly from the captain. "Does he know, you are a drunken and were deceived of your living?" For one boy moment Haslam failed his shamed head. "My blonde knows—that I have arrived to conquer an evil habit—that all but ruined me. He knows that I am striving to win back." "And what else does he know?" broke in Martina. "You have several other little habits that aren't a credit to your cloth. There was a card scandal when we were in Paris." "I beg. I entreat you—if that were known—may not a man repent sincerely of everything." "By all means go ahead, but you'll find that that is rather in large order. Tell me—my marriages in your church hastily?" "None—for three weeks," said Haslam, glind that his tormentor seemed turning from his immediate object. In a seemingly happy humor Sartoria slapped the man of the robe on his back. "Capital," he exasulated. "No dates in the register for three weeks! Now, if a marriage took place and somehow—owing to your habits—names got a bit muddled and dates a bit set back ```markdown ``` "We needn't bargain, I'll see to my share." —couldn't you include it in your list of— —or regrettable redundancy?" "Include," stammered Haslam "That," said Sartoris forcefully, handing to him the license to marry. "Brancaster," gushed the curate. "Brancaster, whom I've just left—" "Dying probably," went on Sartoris. "leaving undone what he meant to do—leaving a great wrong to a woman." There now came into the voice of Sartoris a great irony. While he seemed to be framing a plausible argument to Haslam, still his tone implied that he himself understood how specious it all was, and his irony was directed not alone at himself, but at Haslam, Mrs. D'Aquila and, indeed, the whole world in general. "I'm not a knight of Paladin, but I want to put it right. In the sudden extremity there is, only one way. There will be no one to question. Most people think it's done already but because it isn't the woman is be left in-er-shame? I'll save her —again the irony in spite of himself— "if you'll help me. Can't I appeal to your better self." In his agitation—indeed, extreme terro- rce—Haslam took a full step back- ward. "It's fright, it's crime," he said, his whole figure seeming united in strange trambling. This time Sartoris openly anneered as he went on with his appeal "to your better nature," for he was sure of this weakling. "No—justice—mercy—pity! You've asked me for pity and mercy. What is your answer when I ask them from you?" "Heaven forgive me," came from Haslam. In reply Sartoris drawled out: "Strange war of putting it." The weakling again hesitated as he thought of the consequences of exposure if exposure came from Sartoria. He loved to minister to the wealthy and nobly born. And, failing that, he would be submerged. "If-If I were auto," he faltered out. Sartoria slipped him on the back. "You have my assurance. You have heard my request. I've heard yours. What do we both answer?" Sartoria asked. Haslam looked at him. Then he did not dare to trust to words. He bowed assent slowly: "I'll send you a note," concluded Sartoria. "It will be tonight. Be ready." Again Haslam bowed. Then he left them. Instantly Mrs. D'Aquila came toward Sartoria as he lighted a new cigarette. "What have you said? What have you done?" she asked in the deepest agitation. "There was extreme confidence in the smile of Sartoria, a confidence so great that it appeared to her, as he replied: "Saved you, dear Lady Brasscaster, if you've got the plack to face it once more you'll be a legally wedded wife. The humble necessary parents has been found." "But the bridegroom." He bowed so deeply that she could see the whole face of the parting of his hair. Tay this occasion only—that's where! ORD BRANCASTER, now well on the road to recovery, lay in a huge chair in the length of a Paleyhurst, looking almost directly at Lady Diana, who had come in with her basket of daffodils in her own imposed task of putting flowers in all of the old carved stone vases about the old castle. Brancaster thinned her again, as he often did in these days of recurring strength. "But I wasn't your only nurse," she disclaimed, as always. "But you were THE ONE, he said. 'It was your touch that brought peace and your presence that brought sunshine. It was you who called me back to life and made me want to live again.'" "I'm glad to think that," said Diana softly. "It's your work," went on the young ear. "And now I'm nearly well again—so well that I feel a fraud for continuing to play the invalid, so well that I ought to go away." Lady Diana was embarrassed. Such tones and such sentiments from any one she had known hitherto would have been met by an instant retreat into her. British shell, but with this man they only made her uneasy and not at all displeased. She held out to him his sketch book, which she had brought with her. He took it and turned the pages. "By Jove!" he exclaimed. "What is it?" she asked. "Those studies of bounds—they look like my work, but I can't recall them. And here one I'll sweep I never did." Lady Diana looked over his shoulder. "Dido," she said. "No. I did that. Don't you remember?" Brancaster put his hand to his head in dazed fashion. "No," he said. "You'd been sketching for five mornings near the kennels," she continued. "We first met there, don't you remember?" "I can't remember a thing about it!" exclaimed Brancaster, his head in a whirl as he found that all that had happened immediately prior to his accident had vanished from his memory. "Sir Andrew said that for some time your memory would be confused," the girl said. "It's hard not to recall the five best mornings of one's life," said the young earl. "I wish the accident had blotted out the worst, so that you could never bear of them." "I do not believe all I have heard;" said the girl. "Tell me what you've heard, and I'll say if it's true." "I're heard you gamble," said the girl, in whom there was a strong moral sense. "At times," he confessed, "when life seems very meaningless." "That you are extravagant"— "Quite tight," confessed Brancaster. "I shall be a bigger some day and die in the gutter and serve me quite right." "That's not worthy," exclaimed Lady Diana. "If you see you were wrong there's time to go right. And you should go." "Your hand has given me new life," he said. "You make too much of it," she declared. "Couldn't you in the future"— A wild, new hope, pervaded the whole being of Brancaster. He rose and stepped, toward her. "Is that your wish?" he asked breathlessly. "Indeed—from my heart," said this young girl, looking him straight in the eyes. "Then the past does not make you utterly describe me?" he continued eagerly. "Of course not," she said. "It only makes me sad. It all seems a pity." "Could your pity ever be skim to"—"To hope? It is that now." The fearless gaze of the "cleanest sportwoman in all England" inspired Brancaster. A moment he drew closer to her—closer than either realized. Their hands touched. He felt her warm breath on his eyes and hair. Hurriedly and hopefully, yet fearfully, he went on: "And if hope were justified—if you saw that a main could shake off the past—retrieve—repair—hold up his head and come to you with clean hands and a clean heart—would you let him say to you"— The sudden entrance of a servant put an end to what was in his heart and mind. "Mrs. D'Aquila," announced the menial. Brincaester shrugged angry shoulders. "Tou'd rather be alone," suggested Lady Diana. "Yes, and I shall be-in a few moments," answered Brancaster. "I'll come to you when you are," said Lady.Diana and was gone. A moment later Mrk. D'Aquila was advancing toward him with outstretched hands. "Ah, dear Hubert," she exclaimed and then stopped short as she saw that he took almost invariably a few backward steps from her. "What is the matter, Hubert!" "Nothing," returned Brancaster, "Won't you sit down?" Won't you sit down? obeyed his hand, gesture and sit down. "Well, now," she continued, "will he how you are." His manner was cold as he replied: "Practically quite well again—at least I shall soon be—Sir Andrew has gone." While his manner was cold, and the woman must have seen plainly that he wished to break with her, there was no consciousness of such knowledge in her voice and manner as she exclaimed: "Poor darling! I'm so glad. Doctors are sweet persons, but a bitter nutman." "I love my life to them—and or—to my mother," he said warmly. "Dear, things," she said, "but I should have nursed you better. You don't know what a辛苦 it was to think of you trying between life new death passing onward." "They, saved me up, like the best of friends," she said. "Quite awsome as himself, went on the woman, but it all I who should have been with you. It was my right, my duty, given me by our love. What should I have done if anything had happened—I had been left alone?" "He touched his shoulder with the lightest of pressure, yet it was exceedingly repugnant to him, and he squirmed in his seat, finally asking. "Nonsense! You're plenty of friends, Noral! he excused, annoyed. "Friends!" she responded in a peculiar inflection. "Yes," he went on hurriedly, but still firmly, "you always had before we met and will again after" — Even he could not yet finish the sentence. "After what?" she asked, leaning far over toward him. Brancaster took a deep breath and nerved himself. "After you've forgotten my existence," he said: "friends who amuse you for the day, entertain you, invite you here and there, for this race week or that season, as I did." "Did?" she asked, repeating the past tense meaningly. "Yes," went on Brancaster, affecting not to notice. "When you were tired with town and wanted rest and quiet in the country." The woman's voice now became low, intense and full of a shister-threat. "Was that quite the spirit of your invitations," your letters, your protestations?" she asked quietly. Brancaster shrugged his shoulders. Brancaster shrugged his shoulders. "Oh, well, surely no midummer madness is expected to live through an autumn," he said firmly. The woman was, now on her feet and quite close to him, while her eyes fairly blinked into his. "What are you trying to tell me, Hubert?" she demanded. "That—that when a man has been as near to death as I have," he continued, "he learns to look at life differently, more clearly—and" She broke in with: "Stuff! 'When the devil was sick the devil a saint would be.' You've a fit of the dismaus, and I don't wonder after a month of prunes and prisms in a place like this. Come back to the Rievers. We'll ask some cheery people down to stay. You'll be yourself again." "I am not coming back to the Rievers," he said shortly. "Eh? Well, it is gloomy. Much joller to meet again in town." "No," he said. "Then where?" "Nowhere," he replied. "We can't meet again at all." "Can't? Why?" she naked, ready for the clash. "All that's over, Norn," he said. "I'm sorry, but it's best to say it out. I've determined between us this today in goodbyy." "Do you forget that you asked me to be your wife?" she said. "That was before"—he began and paused. "Before a pack of lies were published in the papers," she finished for him: "innuendoe—suspicion that I was never called to answer—that were only half believed because—because you know how defenses a woman is—nothing was proved: Did I ever deceive you about myself? I told you everything." "I am sorry," he said, "but I do not remember—the statements I read about you last week, you did not explain. I remember no explanation from you." "You do not remember many things that happened before your accident—as Sir Andrew said," she replied. "Some trifles—certainly," he responded. "Trifles!" she exclaimed. "You forget that you confirmed your promise to me, Hubert, whatever the world says of me, thinks of me, you were different. I told you all. You knew—and understood Shan't we walk down the old THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S MUSEUM "if am to be humiliated for Dll" paths together again? Won't you lead me to the new life, the hope you promi- nued? "Nom, forgive me," said Brancastle, in deep agitation, "but whatever I promised I did not then know"— "That has nothing to do with it," he said, resentful that Lady Diana's name had been brought into it. "It has everything," she asserted. "Very well, then, have it your own way," he said. "If I've been a spoil-I'll stop in time. There's the truth—and that is—goodby." To the relief of Branconer a servant entered and gave him a note, which he saw at once had been written by Beverley. "I was to ask your lordship to read it at once," the servant said and with drowsy. but carefully read and little bothered pursued of the business. "Almost like the wife of him," he answered. "They're right," she said with a sorrow of helplessness. Bernardine said simply. "I do well, who to come personally discussions to, from great, and I am very kindly of the companymate like to the faculty of a woman, but I trust her visit today with her a short one, and I must ask you to let her understand, with as little attention as may be, that now you are recovered, her whole here must come. I hoped her own old son some would have persuaded her not to call again; but, since the ban, you must make it clear that I cannot receive a lady whose exact position and relation to yourself I cannot explain to my granddaughter Diana." The woman stopped him with a furious gesture. "Thanks," she said savagely. "So it's once again DI! I am to be humiliated for DI! I insulted for-DI! Thrown over by you turned out by him-for-DI! Very well! Tell him what I tell you, that when next we meet I trust I shall be able to explain correctly the precise nature of my position and relation-to-him—and to you-and to-DI!" CHAPTER VII. "The Whip and Lady Dil" HERE was only laughter and jovial clinking of glasses as Berwerley entertained the hunt at breakfast in the great hall of Faleonburst, while outside, the bounds were being prepared for a big meet. The men, in their red coats and full hunting "tops," seemed so many figures stepped out of the frames of the portraits on the walls behind than of the almost princely family of Berwerley. But at one end of the table, a little withdrawn from their neighbors the Ber. Verner Thalam and Captain Sartoria were talking. The clergyman looked anxiously up and down the board. "Where's Brancaster?" he asked, his uneasy conscience troubling him. But Sartoria was perfectly at his ease, and the other's anxious tone passed by him. "Oh, he's driven down to the station." he returned in a casual tone. "He's been fusing all the morning about a parcel or something he wanted from town." "He's quite recovered!" asked Hassan. "They think no. Talks of hunting today," said Barton. "But his mind- his memory?" the uneasy clergyman asked. Sartorius shrinked his abogdern in their well fitting red coat. "Why" he saked. ter," he said, glancing usually up the table. "Brancaster's marriage?" returned the other. "Well, didn't be marry?" "You know—began Haslam. "Pardon me, I know nothing." "You aimed for him, persecuted Haslam." No. You wrote had minded. "But the mark the crowd against it"—Sartoria was visibly annoyed. "Brancaster's wrist was injured at the time," he said. "Dash it! We must be artistic; he couldn't write." "What does it matter? The thing is there," grounded the substitute vicar. "Quite so—in perfectly legal form," said Sartoria, firmly. "He will know it's false," said the conscience stricken Hamam. "Never, if he never can or will—unless you tell him," said the captain. "Do you want to add a memory of jail to your other reminiscences. Beauty place." My dear fellow, for once in our lives we've done a good action, Don't be afraid of it. We've bought justice for a woman. She'll stick to it. I shall stick to it. You stick to it. You can't be found out—so be noble. You'll have a jolly bad time if you don't." The substitute vicar shuddered. "But will she make her claim—publicly—nearly? He asked, asking a docenter of money." Barton took a puff at the cigarette between him. As he returned: between him. As he returned: "Can't say. She never meant to while he lived. She was anticipating—weeds, don't you see? Now the situation's changed. If he jitter his she may be jealous, perhaps resentful, and—well, if the crash comes sooner or later it's all one to you, my dear Hanilam, dyes you? You've got to stick to it." Beverly now rapped on the table and gradually the company of men settled into their pieces. "The season's over," said the marquis, "and this is our last meet. Now these beautiful violets are sprouting in the garden—our last meet and the last time I shall hunt the haunts. The Beverlys have hunted from Pembroke for over 200 years—but you must to let the applause subside—hand so they will be long as a Beverley Even, a Beverley'll be their master. But Beverley had no son to come after him. He died as a Beverley should for his country. He's not here to be my deputy. So, gentlemen, it lies with you to say who she will. You want young blood to hunt good haunts. I'll find them all right—but we want a deputy master, one you'll all follow, one the country known, one who hunt the Beverley as a good sportman should; and as you who sit around me are good sportmen one and all, I've called you all together to leave the choice to you." At this moment the young Earl of Brancaster entered and took his seat at the table of Beverley, instantly there were shouts of "Brancaster" and Captain Bayner, a veteran of the Beverley hunt, got to his feet quickly. "In the old days," he said, "it was the rule when the master of Falkenhurst came a rogue, it was the master of Rivers who hunted the boars. It has been his life to doze support laterly. But now, as we all agree to see, he is still well and standing at the foot of Rivers' wild band. Could a bovine man take the title than Lord Beverley?" As much veneration that affirmed the proud lady Dilton and the widow of the bovine he held marriage entered and marriage entered in the SATURDAY, NOV. 24, 1994 to hear the new leaders of the speeches Bhaskar snow and with a how to the company bums in a low voice, which gradually increased in power: "Gentlemen, you pay us a very thin compliment, but I'm afraid I don't deserve it. To command the support of the Beverley hunt I have not yet proved that I can ride hard enough or as straight as I shall when I follow THE MUSEUM OF THE WORLD But will she make her claim—publish—soon? the lead that I am certain, will appeal most nearly to you—the lead not of a deputy master, for there is none here fitted to take that place, but the lead that is given in some counties by the mistress of the bounds. Gentlemen, let us follow that example and declare by acclamation today that Lady Diana Kestore in the chosen deputy mistress of the Beverley bounds. Only the greatest positive and affirmative about arrived this declaration, and answered by it. Ranunculus walked slowly to the foot of the stairway and took from his pocket a jewel case containing a peninsular with in chambers the promise of had been quarreled in the proceedings. "Lady Kestore, bound to the young mistress of the bounty, will surely bound the deeds of the bounty. But I beg that so much money you will answer the whole." And she came to New York to give the giving, and she was very happy and they seemed happy and they lay in her arms in the bed. "Greetings from New York, especially it is time to be here with you. I will do my best to learn and love and as strange as a strange thing—I thank you very much. Do I hold the whip you please? We look one so late but tender." "Greetings from New York as ever, the old man came to the table, filled a big box and thanked to all the secretary's guests at the table. "Lady D, you are very kind and very fried, the honorable one, I thank for a attractive cup. PM very pleased: I give you a heart." "Ode of the whip" and "Lady D" granted him. "Yes, the whip and Lady D," he said, "and not only the whip and my dear Dl—for the whip may soon have a new handle to its name—" A general mourn greeted this statement. "Paleauhurst and Elevers may be bound by a new thong." went on Beaverley. "On a day like this it's a great pleasure to ask you to drink not only to your new whip—to my grandchild Di—but to the future." The stridest tides of a big footman at the door interrupted him, or rather inserted themselves into the pane he had intended to be impassive. The footman's words completed the marquis' sentence, but they also gave ```markdown ``` heinstein, who are turned their eyes up the doorway to behold them, proudly, Mrs. D. Aguilar. After a moment there was a general pause after half the company had got to the look. Baden moved toward himself so it'll be required the strength of his personality. Baden turned toward the woman standing there coldly self pomponed. "Madam, be exclaimed. In a most decided drawing room manager Mr. D. Aguilar faced him. "Lord Barrieray, pray forgive this—or intrudation," she said sweetly. "Certain rumors have reached my ears. I had come to ask for a private interview with a view to obstruct a public scandal. But happily—or unhappy—I have just heard the words that have fallen: from your lips. Therefore though I request the pain, that I may cause, it is die by myself that I should speak here—unpublicly as you have spoken and say—that I am Lord Brancaster's wife." Bramaster shirtered forward, his hand at his forehead as he struggled to regain memory of the last days before his death. "Wife," he shouted. "It's a lie!" But Mrs. PAquit took the words from his mouth. "It is an attempt to save your granddaughter humiliation. Lord Reverley," she said; "perhaps something worse. It is now an endower to assist you in explaining to her exactly your position in this house." While Lady Diana's eyes followed Brancastell, wiltfully, desperately, the young earl turned to the company of his friends and neighbors. "Gentlemen, on my honor—be exploded. "Beverley, this is an outrage! Turn this woman out. "Both inclined to take the hothothed suggestion of his neighbor, and act upon it. "Mrs. D. Aguila—he began. "That is not, my name," she said firmly. "You didn't believe it." "I believe information" mild the rac- cism clausing band of the motor man Buddyily the woman held out to him a paper. "Then read that," she ordered. Bevereil, without taking into his own hand the document, looked at it as though it were a thing which might search him. It plainly was a marriage-certificate. "Great beavers!" he exclaimed. Best Brancaster had been looking over his shoulder. "It's forged—it's false—you know it" he almost shouted into the face of the smiling woman. Lord Beverley gave another long look at the document and read there the signature of the Rev. Verner Haslam. He walked slowly toward the vicar, but not before Sartoris had whispered to him savagely: "Stick to it." Lord Beverley now had the paper in his own hands, and he passed it to Haslam. "Mr. Haslam is this true?" he said, extending the document. But the vicar did not look at it. Speaking with the greatest possible effort, he slightly bowed as he answered in a low tone: "That is my signature, Lord Beverley." His manifest difficulty in speaking but strengthened his assertion, as all present thought that the clergyman manifested merely because he found a very unpleasant duty before him. out telling a real falsehood. "It can't be Beverley—Dt—I wear," began Brancaster, and stopped. Again Haslam bowed, and then as he felt the cold, menacing eyes of Saratts on him he managed to add a booze: "Tee." With a half sob and a scream, Lady Diana sung, herself into the arms of Lord Bergerley. The old man gathered her closely to himself and then glowed upon the smiling Bru. D'Aquila and the stricken Brancaster, equally. "Tee bound!" he gawled sternly to Brancaster. "Tee, knowing this! come here and would have— Out of my sight, both of you! Turn this woman and this blighted out of my booze!" [NO CONTINUED.] The Antee Line. Descendants of the Aztec monarchs of Mexico still live. There is one in Mexico and another in Mexico itself, while some of the lesser kinmen are still drawing pensions from the Mexican government on the strength of great kinship.

Green Sunset Green sunsets seen by the Russian explorers in the polar regions have been matched in England. Throughout November and December of 1883 the sunsets and afterglows were of wonderful intensity and varied colors. At Chelsea especially the sun went down over the Thames amid a blaze of unearthly beauty ranging from deepest red to green, as may be seen in a series of water sketches made at the time and now preserved in the Chelsea free library. Sit Norman Lockyer and other astronomers attributed these winter sunsets to the volcanic dust projected by the great eruption of Krakatoa, in Java, in the previous August. An Interacting Book A French marquise whose country house is crowded with guests during the hunting season hit upon the original idea of placing a register at the disposal of her visitors in which to record their desires and criticisms. The pages of the richly bound book soon began to be covered with notes such as: "Count de R. still owes 25 louls. He knows to whom." "The green peas yesterday were burned." "Baroness M. flirts—unfortunately not with me." The marquise has withdrawn the register. Khyber Pass. The Khyber pass, from the time of Alexander the Great, has been noted as the great military and trade gateway into India from the Anatistic countries to the east. The pass begins near Jarned in India, ten and one-half miles west of Peahshar, and twists through the hills for about thirty-three miles in a northwesterly direction till it debouches at Dakka, in Afghanistan. Weightiest King in the World. One of the most interesting monarchs who besk under British protection is King George Tabar II, whose kingdom—the Tonga islands—is situated in an obscure corner of the south Pacific ocean. King George can claim to be a man of weight, for he turns the scales at 306 pounds. He governs by means of a native parliament, the sessions of which seem to be mainly determined by the amount and quantity of the edibles collected at the capital. He has a high opinion of his importance, for he sent an ambassador to Great Britain at the time of the Russo-Japanese war announcing his neutrality.—Montreal Star. Sea Reser. The sea rose is a leathery looking creature which attaches itself to a stone at the bottom of the sea in infancy and ultimately attains a size about three inches in length and an inch and a half in breadth. When quiet and feeding under water its top opens and blossoms into the semblance of a large plum rose, with petals fully inch long, a really handsome object. As soon as it is disturbed, however, it abuses itself resolutely into its leather pod. The Glover's Advantage Orators should beware of criticizing their audiences. They are likely to provoke returns that will go far toward marring their effects.

Why should we require 100 per cent efficiency of the glove maker and only 90 per cent of the teacher?" "Because," promptly responded a fearless teacher, "he can select his kids" - Toutt's Commandant.

Wonderful Possibilities in Jumping Frogs and Discoverers That There Is No Occasion For a Cow to Switch Her Tail. By M. QUAD. (Copyright 1978 by Associated Literary Press) "LOOK a-hush, Kurnel Dawson." "Began Abe Jaffoot, the lawyer, as he met the colonel in the postoffice," people in this county are callin' me lazy and shift- less and sayin' I won't ever amount to cobs with the coin shucked off. Her I had a fair show in this county? Havn't, everybody tried to keep me down from the beginnin'." "Nice day, Abe," and the colonel as he dodged the question "Powerful nice day, kurnel, and I want yo' to listen to me for a few minutes. I've' got some schemes I want to unfold and ask yo' about. Kurnel, how far kiln the average frog imprisoned?" "Six feet reckon." "That's the distance kornel, to an inch. Now then, how many frogs in the United States?" "Shoo! I couldn't guess that, Abe." "Well, sah, I kni. I put down the number at 250,000. Those are all CARVY "JUMPIN' BIX FIRST AT A CLIP." jumpin' frogs, every one of 'em jumpin' six feet at a clip and forty jumpa a day. That's 240 feet a day for each and every frog. In one day the frogs of America jump 60,000,000,000 feet. Think of the result for a month, fur a yar! "It's tremendous, Abc, positively tremendous," graped the colonel: "To bet it is, and they all jump fur fun. See the plint, kurnel? See my little scheme? It's to make them frogs jump fur blizzard instead of sport. In other words, make use of the power exercised. It can be stored like electricity and made use of to run every factory in the world. Ten jumpin' frogs, each one jumpin' six feet, make enough power to run a newwl, machine half an hour. Every 100 frogs will run a grist mill half a day. That's just common jumpin'. Hire a boy to go around with a pole and stir em up, and each frog will jump nine feet and never be a foot. The more frogs the spore jump; the more power the more factors and the cheaper they will be run. "And look beeh, kurnel," continued Abe as he pushed the colonel against the wall and held him there. "I'm no man to give my soul up to one scheme. How many cows in the United States, kurnel?" "Shoot! Hears you 'em." "About, 40,000 kurnal, and by time lasts an average of 10' months, or 120 days. For 60 months every cow is switchin' her tail twelve hours per day. That's 1,440 hours to a cow, or about 8,000,000,000 hours for all of them. Every time a cow switches her tail she puts forth power enough to wind up the family clock. She switches thirty-five times an hour, or 420 times per day. The power for one day would run a street, car five miles. The tail power, of 2,000,000 cows for 120 days would run all the sawmills in the country all winter. It's a double barreled scheme, kurnal—one that works both ways. Every time a cow switches her tail it reduces her strength and takes away from the quantity of milk. Iigger that twelve hours' switchin' takes away at least a pint. That's a loss of 1,000,000 quarts a day." "But cows have not to switch," said the colonel. "To' mean their falls hey got to twist around and keer the files off. Yes, of course, the chill it don't do any good as the files are right back. But the idea is to fasten a spring to each cow's tall and make the spring do the work. How does strike yo' kurnel?" "It's a thick thair. Also the biggest thing I ever heard of," exclaimed the colonel as they stank hands. "Oh by the way kurnel!" "What is it. Also" "That's Joe Taylor's saloon right across the road, and both yo' was kind 'n' so invite me to licker I don't mind if I take a bottle con juice—just a bottle to keep the skin on my ears from peeling' off, you know?" "What I want," said the speaker, "reforms. I want police reform; I want medical reform; I want temperature reform; I want I want"— "What you want" called me in the court at the end of the ball. "What you want" in the court. "What you want" in the court. W. I. Johnson, FUNERAL DIRECTOR, EMBALMER AND LIVERYMAN. D. J. FARRAR, CONTRACTOR AND BUILDER. ALL, KINDS OF CARPENTRY.

Cultivate the moral strength to resist temptation: You can do it if you will. In itself a temptation is neither strong nor weak. An opportunity to steal a million would not affect some men and women in the least. To others it would be irresistible, because their hearts are aching with desire for wealth. We cannot blame our temptations for our sins. That is neither fair nor just. We must look deeper and own that we alone are accountable for the wrongdoing. Served Alphabetically. Roman emperors who fostered copiously and sumptuously had no menu card, so they often spotted their enjoyment of a banquet by eating too much of one dish and passing over something they specially liked. According to Montaligne, one of the Roman emperors, devised an order for serving dishes which enabled him roughly to foretell what was coming next: "Gent, the emperor, would have all his messes of dishes served in at his table orderly, according to the first letters of their names, as for example, those that began with p, as plg, plie, puddings, pouts, pork, pancakes, etc., were all served in together, and so of all the rest."

Washington in securing a hearing for the colored people in the forum of the world. Leading white journals will publish his observations and arguments and he can diplomatically pload our side of the case in a way that no other man of the race can do. In later years, he is exhibiting a tendency to do this and for this reason is entitled to such commendation as his action mortis. In discussing in "The Country Gentleman," the right way to handle Negro labor, he says: "First I mention G. W. McLeod, who owns a large tract of land in Macon County, Alabama. He is a good example of the white planner who treats his tenants well. Mr. McLeod believes in having a good school in the community, so he gave an acre of ground upon which the school house was built, and $100 in addition to help put up the $700 schoolhouse. He deeded the land to a set of colored trustees. Mr. McLeod also offers annual prizes for the best-kept stock, best-kept farm, best-kept garden, best attendance at. Sunday school and church. The man or woman guilty of taking intoxicating liquors or engaging in family quarrels is not eligible to prizes and must go at the end of the year. "J. C. Finkston, of Macon County, Alabama, owns several thousand acres of land. He sees to it that the colored people are encouraged in building good schoolhouses and that their children are sent to school. He has given $200 toward the building of two $600 schoolhouses, but on the way to the building they also raise a large amount of money for the building. He discourages whisky drinking. He encourages churchgoing. "Judge William Henderson, of Wilcox County, Alabama, with a plantation of about ten thousand acres of good land, on the Alabama River and several hundred tenants, is a stunning supporter of Negro farm demonstration work. He not only calls his tenants together in gatherings of from two hundred and fifty to three hundred and fifty, but in the midst of presenting business courses to the meetings himself. Judge Henderson always makes it a point to comment on the instruction given in each way as to impress every farmer. "On one occasion, to show how his tenants stood up, he stood up in a gathering of about three hundred tenants and made a statement: If there is a tenant from my information who ever sent or multiplied phone calls." Out of the huge number of tombs from his place, there was only one man who stood, and his account was so small that he was more than able to take care of it. He gave the land for the erection of the Miller's Perry Industrial School in order that his children might send their children there and at the same time keep them in the community." And again: "Probate Judge J. C. Woods, of Lowndes County, Alabama, argues his tenants to have a hog and a cow aplace, and to raise their own food-stuffs at home and stay out of the store. He gave $50 in 1913 for the improvement of the Negro schoolhouse, and in May that if the pupils would continue to improve he would give them $50 more. Another method of accomplishing the same thing is used by W. W. Campbell, of Macon County., Mr. Campbell is a banker and a large planner. Since his banking business prevents his being on his farms and giving personal attention to the tenants, Mr. Campbell has a graduate of the agricultural department of the Tukeague Institute who lives right among the tenants and directs and helps them, not alone in their farming, but in their schools and churches as well. "In 1909 W. W. Thompson, of Mason County, purchased a farm of about three, thousand five hundred acres. Before he came into possession of this place it was operated on the old "absentee-landlord" system and passed from owner to owner; it was usually looked upon as a hopeless, business proposition. "There were many colored tenants on the farm; but since the owners seemed to manifest little interest in the permanent success of the place it was natural that the tenants should manifest little interest. As soon as Mr. Thompson bought the farm he moved his family on it and began let the tenants it know and were directed to work well as in the farm. Instead of abusing them he began praising them and impressing upon them the fact that in proportion as they prospered he would prosper. Amping the first things he did was to tear down the little one-room cabling and build comfortable cottages with two and three rooms. "On this point Mr. Thompson says: 'As a result of improving the houses a better class of tenants has been secured, and this means a permanent tenant instead of a shuffling and roaming one.' Near his farm is a church and a day school that is in session seven or eight months of the year. See how the colored tenants respond to this new kind of treatment: A Birmingham newspaper, in speaking of one of the tenants on Mr. Thompson's farm, says: 'On one patch of an acre and a half this year Kelly Sparks has grown three crops—Irish potatoes, cotton and beetles and potatoes to the aggregate value of about $100 per acre.' The paper further says: 'The story of Kelly Sparks should be a lesson to the farmers, white and colored, of Alabama.' "The net result on this place within four years, according to Mr. Thompson's report, is as follows: In 1909 the farm grew 139 bales of cotton, 500 bushels of corn and 500 bushels of oats. In 1913, four years later, the same farm has grown 850 bales of cotton, 15,000 bushels of corn, 6000 bushels of oats, 300 bushels of corn and 100 heads of cattle. Converted into money these lands made more than $7.50 in 1913 for every dollar that they made in 1909." He tells of the liberal-minded white man of the Southland when he says: "Some time ago the Hon. Walter Clark, one of the most prominent and wealthy Southern planters, living at Clarksville, Mississippi, said: 'I am sick and tired of this eternal abuse of the Negro. The Negro is what the Southern people have made of him. We are absolutely responsible for nine-tenths of his short comings, and we should, like men, do so. There is no question but that he has some of the worst traits of any human beings, but he also has some of the noblest." "All persons who deal with Negro labor must bear in mind that the colored man is extremely social. He likes to have a let-up now and then; he likes to have a good time; he is fond of attending church, funerals, camp meetings, lodge meetings, revivals, frolics, and going to town on Saturday. I have noticed that colored landowners vary often control colored labor more successfully than white owners for the reason that they understand this element in colored labor better than the white man. And here let me form the average of the two, so that no one inside of the South, does not realize to what an extent colored people themselves are becoming employers of colored labor. There are not a few colored men scattered through the South who employ on their farms and in one way or another as many as two hundred or three hundred colored laborers each." This is a now phase of a most interesting subject. He continues: "Nearly every one of the white planters I have held up as examples of employers who know how to use Negro labor successfully has once or twice a year a barbecue for his tenants. It is made a great holiday, when the people are not only amused and entertained but are instructed by persons who are experts in various lines of farming. "I know that as many people will say that this large social element in the case of the Negro constitutes his weakness. This may or may not be true. Any one who has visited Southern Europe and has noted the tremendous amount of time thrown away in holidays will say that the Negro is far above the average of the European workman in the master of time wasted in holidays and the like. Where the Negro wastes one day I am safe in saying the average workman in the Latin countries of Europe or in Mexico wastes three or four days." "How can the colored laborer be kept on the farm where, in my opinion, he is best off, and out of the someone will not lend you the money. This is not an easy question to answer, for the tendency put over the world in recent years has been toward the other. In many cases, he expected that the farmer will not be indebted by the tendency, even though he like the rather free life in the country. Why do, so many leave the land then? He answers the question when he says: "From direct investigation I find that many valuable colored laborers leave the farm for the reason that they sellm see or handle cash. The Negro laborer likes to put his hands on real money as often as possible. In the city, while he is not so well off in the long run, as I have said, he is usually paid off in cash every Saturday night. In the country he soildm gets cash oftener than once a month or once a year." That answer is the "Gospel truth." That is why so many country boys go to the railroads and coal mines. He continues: "Not a few of the best colored laborers leave the farms because of the poor houses furnished by the owners. The miserable condition of some of the one-room cabins is almost beyond description. In the towns and cities, while he may have a harder time in other respects, he can find a reasonably comfortable house with two or three rooms. "No matter how ignorant or worth less a colored man may be, he wants his children to have education. A very large and valuable element of colored labor leaves the farm because education cannot be secured in many cases. The farming district of the South the Negro finds public schools provided for him which run only from two to five months in the year. In many cases children have to walk miles to reach these schools. The school-houses are poor. In most cases, beyond description children are not morid on $18 or $25 a month, and of course poor pay means a poor teacher." And again: "In the larger towns and cities the Negro laborer finds schools provided by the public missionary or denominational agencies. These schools are in session eight and nine months in the year, the schoolhouses are good and the teachers are competent. "More and more each year the South is being forced into competition with other farming sections. This means that the South has to use in an increasing degree more labor-saving machinery of a complicated character. Ignorant persons cannot understand or successfully use complicated labor-saving devices. There is only one way out of this—to make the laborer of the South just as intelligent and skilled as the laborer of other sections. Dr. Washington "drives the nail home" when he says: "Again a large number of the most industrious, conservative and law-abiding valuable colored laborers leave the country districts and go to the towns and cities to get police protection. In the country these colored laborers fear that if they are charged with crime they will be dealt with by the mob or without trial by jury." Surely the distinguished educator is coming out into "the lime light" with "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." He "sticks to his text" when he says: "This same element of colored people, too, often leaves the country to avoid the constant harassing to which they are subjected in many sections by petty officers of the law. Few white men realize to what an extent. minor officers get into the habit of following up colored people in the country districts and arresting them on all kinds of charges. The police officer made for the sake of the fee, which goes either to the man making the arrest or to some local magistrate who is many cases is anxious to put as many persons as possible into the chain gang in order to increase the revenue that will come from prison labor. "But, as I have just stated, if in every country district the Negro-could be sure that when he or members of his family are accused of a crime, they would be impartially investigated and a legal trial of the case would be held it would keep many colored people on the farms. "It would help tremendously to make the Negro more efficient and contented as a farm laborer if more were done in the way of educating him as to the importance of farming and better methods of farming. I know that the usual objections will be urged—that educated Negroes do not often go back to the farm. Be this as it may, it means much the measure of the ministers and other leaders to know about farming and to be interested in country life, even though they do not earn their living by farming, for these leaders, both directly and indirectly, exert a great influence on the average working man and woman." Dr. Washington concludes his most interesting recital as follows: "But conditions are charging for the better in all parts of the South. White people are manifesting more interest each year in the training of colored people, and, what is equally important, colored people are beginning to learn to use their education in sensible ways; they are learning that it is no disgrace for an educated person to work on the farm. As white people see this they are going to be willing to spend more on the Negro for farm training." Thousands of liberal-minded white people have read all that this leader has seen fit to say. In the hundreds of words written, he has said much that will start these people to thinking. That it will benefit the colored people of the country goes without.

It was the first milestone in his ROAD TO SUCCESS! saying. Dr. Washington is speaking of the race of workers and not of a race of loafers. If the average white man can be brought to understand that the dissolute, immoral, shiftless, loafing colored people constitute but a small proportion of the great mass of an industrious race, then Dr. Washington's plea for us will not have been in vain. "LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP." The Wall Street Journal in its issue of the 16th last, advises state banks to go slow in entering the new Federal reserve system. It says: There appears to be no reason why state banking institutions should be healthy in joining the new Federal reserve system, unless they are fully satisfied that it will be for their advantage. The national- banks are practically they-settled into the new system by several provisions of the law which would involve direful con sequences, if they were ignored. Those in reserve clite promptly lose deposit for country banks, and they will with the risk of the depreciation of the 2 per cent. bonds held to secure circulation if they fail to avail themselves of the privileges of refunding and redeemment attached to entry into the system. None of these consequences operates directly, however, upon state banks and trust companies, and there are several special reasons why the latter are justified in examining the effects of the new law carefully before surrendering their present independence. For the cautious trust company directorate, it would seem to be wise to await the regulations to be framed under the new law by the Federal Reserve Board. Among the fields in which wide powers are given to the Reserve Board is to make rules and regulations, governing state institutions which become members of the new system. But the full importance of its bearing upon the competition of trust companies and national banks is the authority given to the Federal Reserve Board to permit national banks "to act as trustee, executor, administrator, or registrar of stocks and bonds." Even this function cannot be exercised under the law however, until the promulgation of "such rules and regulations as the said Board may prescribe," and cannot be "in contravention of state or law law. These regulations, which may be decided either broadly or narrowly, according to the temper of the Federal Reserve Board, which has yet to come into existence. There has always been doubt whether a national bank had legal authority to perform any of these functions, and the assumption that such a bank would be the ones they would seem to be that they had not heretofore existed. Another question of importance is the relation which will be held towards the new system by those institutions which decide not to enter it. If they are practically boycotted, without power to appeal to a member bank for aid in times of stress, this fact might operate powerfully to force them into the new system. The member bank shall set as the medium or agent of a non-member bank is applying for or receiving discounts from a Federal reserve bank under the provisions of this act, except by permission of the Federal Reserve Board." Interpreted strictly, as such a statute should be, this would seem to prohibit only the direct rededuction by a Federal reserve bank of paper originating with a non-member bank. If this is all the disability which is imposed in the matter, it will not preclude close relations between non-member and member banks all times to have sufficient paper which has not originated with non-member institutions to enable them to obtain such radioscopes as conditions may require. Evidently, with the wide powers which are conferred in all these matters upon the Federal Reserve Board a strong state bank or trust company can afford to wait for an indication of the attitude of the Board before deciding whether to surrender its independence.

AN APPEAL TO THE NEGRO EXHIBITION For Help While Collecting Materials for the International Exhibition of the Book, Industry and Graphic Arts, Leipzig, May-October, 1914. On account of the celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the Royal Academy for the Graphic Arts and the Book-Industry, at Leipzig, Germany; there will be a great Exhibition made up and organised to show the Graphic products of all people, lands and nations from the earliest times up to these days. The plan of the exhibition shows the following sixteen groups: 1, Graphic Arts; 2, Applied Graphics and Book-making, Illustrating; 3, Instruction, Education, Schools; 4, Paper Manufacturing; 5, Stationery and Writing Materials; 6, Colors, Lithographics and copper-plates; 7, Photography; 8, Reproduction; 9, Sterotypy, Electrotypy; 10, Printing Processes; 11, Paper-binding; 12, Pub Hailing, book-thrills; 13, Newspapers, Advertising, Canvases, Periodicals; 14, Libraries; 15, Machinery; 16, Measures for the Protection and Welfare of the workers etc. These groups have been subdivided into about 63 classes. Each group is to be introduced by a historical and a technical instructive department. The development and the position in the history of civilization of the various branches of the book industry will be clearly demonstrated models and apparatus for demonstrating purposes and the cinematographic art will be shown. The publications of booksellers and music publishers will be brought directly to the notice of the public through the medium of libraries and reading rooms, through lectures, public readings, recitations and concert recitals. Anything in our minds will be under the banner of the "black girl." Many learned societies and associations connected with the book industry will have their congresses and meet at the exhibition ground. When I read the news I asked myself if it would be possible to show at the exhibition some exhibits of the Negro people in America, in whose matter I am especially interested. So I came to all willing to help me in my undertaking, to ask for their cooperation while collecting exhibition matters. Any printing, writing, photos, pictures out of the slavery times this day will be welcome. Pupils and students, lessons, schoolplans and pictures, photos of professors, students and buildings, models of publishing houses, colleges and universities will immediately accepted. Likewise draw out of restraints and students. they or publicists have in hand of all book and and writing they have published. ii. have been engaged with authors that prey on authors by having an advantage of their knowledge of the subject and their ability to glean their own knowledge of the subject. the market. Editors should send the best they have, if possible a model of the whole business plan. Here is an opportunity for the Colored people of America and for those who have devoted their lives to the culture-work among the colored people, to demonstrate what they have done already and what they could do in the future. Another important feature while collecting exhibition materials is that all will have great value for the future, as the great Museum-library of Leipzig will participate in the exhibits when the fair is over. You will have no expenses to pay for the exhibition of what you send. I will care for that. But what ever you send write your name upon it. Please do what you can in the matter. Write about your help as soon as possible and send your exhibits—old or new, good and bad—to PASTOR PAUL O. HENTECH, Gun dorferstr. I, I, Leipzig-Li., Germany. Other Negro papers are asked to print the foregoing lines of Pastor Hentash in their respective columns. —The Editor. Next Week. "SHERLOCK HOLMES." At the Grayce Scott Bijou next week Miss Scott and her Company will present one of the most, if not the most interesting play of their engagement. It is none other than William Gillette's famous play, "Sherlock Holmes." For many years the fascinating detective character has held millions of readers on two continents inthralled by the wonderful crime deductions made by him and when William Gillette stepped forward in a dramatic version of the famous A. Conan Doyle stories, the play was a tremendous success, over whimming all of the other successes he had ever achieved. The story of the play 'is woven about the attempt of James and Madge Larrabee to secure from Alice Paulknner letters and papers which prove the deep wrong done Miss Paulknner's sister by a man of royal blood, who is about to be married. If the Larrabee an secure the papers it is their intention to blackmail the nobleman with threats to tell his fames of the old affair. The girl, Alice Paulknner, is struggling to retain possession of the letters while she is being kept in virtual captivity in the home of the Larrabee, whether she was lured by the pretended friend ship of Madge Larrabee. Her purpose is to warn the fames and thus to prevent the intended marriage. Sherlock Holmes, commissioned by the nobleman to obtain it permits the letter, arrives at the Lawrence residence when the girl in being threatened, with death if she does not divulge the place where she has hidden the paper. With plans and counterplots the play appears and finds this point with the scintillating piled audience flashing faintly. London, who has frequently escaped Holmes, although he has caused them considerable trouble, enters into the matter, not because he wants Miss Faulkner's letters but because he wants to outwit and if possible to put an end to the career of Sherlock Holmes. The battle of wits and nerve between the two men and their underlings is told with stirring dramatic scenes following fast upon each other and holding the spectator's breathless interest to the very last line of the play. This play will afford another splendid opportunity to Mr. Thompson in the part of Sherlock Holmes and Miss Scott will be the Alice Faulkner, around whom the plot revolves. Mr. Bassett will have an excellent role as Professor Moriarty and Mr. Newing will be the detectives' loyal boy, "Billy." Miss Dudley will be the Madge Larrabes and Mr. Warner, Mr. Anders and the other members of the company will-all have excellent characters. As usual the matinee days will be Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. CONGRESSMAN IN HOT FIST BATTLE Johnson, of Kentucky, Has Fight With Lawyer. Representative Ben Johnson, of Kentucky, and John R. Shields, a Washington attorney, engaged in a fight in the room of the house District of Columbia committee. The faces of both men were cut and badly bruised. Johnson called for his pistol and a dozen members and clerks separated the combatants. More than a dozen blows were exchanged. Shields was knocked down once in a general melee when various menbers were trying to separate the men. Shields was shoved out into the hall. He tried to return, but was prevented. He then disappeared from the building. Johnson appeared later nursing his injuries with a towel. His face was cut in several places. Shields got an early rush under the chin. The fight resulted from bitter feeling over an effort by Shields to have a bill giving firemen and policemen the right to ride free on street cars reported by the committee. Shields was charged by Johnson, who is chairman of the District of Columbia committee, with being the "lobbyist" for the firemen and policemen. Completion He—Are you happy, darling?

Like a bombsholl thrown suddenly into a peaceful camp came the news from Springfield last Friday that Governor Dunne Lail demanded and that Col. John R. Marshall had tendered his resignation as colonel of the Eighth Infantry, Illinois National Guard. No explanation was given in the reports contained in the daily papers, except the statement that the colonel was a republican. Since the news of his retirement the colored people throughout the state have been wrought to a high pitch of excitement, fearing, it is said that the enforced resignation of Col. Marshall is but the first step in the direction of ultimately eliminating the regiment from the National Guard. This, it is contended, would be a blow to the colored people of this state and indeed, the nation, from which it would take years to recover. The Eighth Regiment came into prominence during the Spanish-American war, and owe its existence to the late Governor Tanner, under whose administration it was recruited and tendered to the national government. It was sent to Cuba in 1898 to relieve the famous dandy First Regiment of Illinois, whose ranks were feast being decimated by the ravages of fever. During the eleven months while the Eighth Regiment was stationed there, only two men were lost by death, and the reports in the adjutant general's office at Washington show that it was one of the most efficient regiments of volunteers mustered for service during the Spanish-American war. The return of the regiment was made the occasion of a great demonstration by the citizens of Chicago, regardless of race or creed. When it was finally mustered out of the United States service the people of the state recognizing and appreciating its valuable service rendered in time of war, unanimously demanded that it be made intact a part of the National Guard of Illinois. This wish being in harmony with the desire of Governor Tanner he immediately ordered the adjutant general to increase the original Ninth Battalion to a full regiment, to be thereafter known as the Eighth. Since that time, down to January 2, 1914, John R. Marshall has been its colonel. The splendid record which has characterized its existence in the National Guard has been a source of much genuine and just pride to the colored people, not only of this state of Illinois, but throughout the entire country. It enjoys the distinction of, being the only regiment of soldiers in the world officered from colonel) to corporal by members of the Negro race. At a special caller meeting of the officers stationed at Chicago East Monday night at the armory Col. Marshall made a farewell speech to those present. He feelingly referred to his long career as the commander of the regiment and regretted that circumstances for which he was not responsible and over which he had no control had forced his separation. In pathetic tones he recounted the loyal support he had received from officers and men alike and hoped that the future of the regiment would have no obstacles or barriers that would tend to disrupt. He admitted the officers to wield together closer than ever, so that at no time could the charge be brought that they were not in the highest sense loyal and obedient soldiers. The officers were visibly affected at the parting and as an evidence of their feeling Major R. R. Jackson introduced the following resolutions, which were unanimously passed: RESOLUTION. Whereas, The Eighth Regiment of Infantry, Illinois National Guard, has been deprived of the valuable services of Col. John R. Marshall, who, since it was mustered into the military service of the state as a regiment, has been its commanding officer; and Whereas, During the entire period since he assumed command he has untiringly and unselfishly devoted his ripe military experience and scrupulously honest management to the end that, today, this splendid organization officiated from colonel to corporal by members of the Negro race, is the equal in point of efficiency of any military organisation in this country; and Whereas, The officers and men alike feel that in his loss as their intrepid and fearless commander a vacancy has been created most difficult to fill; therefore, be it Resolved, That the officers stationed at chicago, in meeting assembled, hereby and herein express their deep sense of regret that circumstances over which he had no control have produced a condition which has caused his retirement; and Resolved, Further, That we shall always cherish with owing memory his unselfish loyalty to officers and men alike, and his faithful stewardship randered from beginning to the end of his administration as the commanding officer; be it further Resolved, That as a small token of our high esteem and loving regard for him, which in no sense is commensurate with the heavy loss we have sustained by his retirement, the sum of five hundred (4500) dollars be presented to him out of the regimental funds; be it further Resolved, That these resolutions become a part of the regimental records and that an engrossed copy be presented to Col. John R. Marshall. Col. Marshall will be leader of a public demonstration Thursday evening, January 16, at Odd Fellow's hall, by citizens of Chicago. Col. Marshall leaves the regiment in the biggest man in the country among his race in military dress. --- The image provided is too blurry and low-resolution to accurately recognize any text.

The Metropolis is caught in a great revival wave, and never before in the history of this city has there been such a united effort to win souls for Christ as is manifest at this season. Throughout the city churches of all denominations are conducting revival campaigns for new additions to the church, and from what your correspondent has learned much interest is being manifested on the part of the city. St. Marks' M. E. Church and Abyssinia Baptist Church, two of the most influential churches of this city have unified in a revival campaign and are making a great impression on the city. Last Sunday at St. Marks' M. E. Church a joint service was held between the two churches. Fully 500 men and women were presen- tent, and the service took on the form of the great meetings held in the days of Moody and Sankey. The two churches alternate weekly in the services. NOTABLE EMANCIPATION MERITING. Last Sunday the citizens of this city held an enthusiastic meeting in commemoration of the fifteenth anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation of the Negro. The meeting was held at the Y. M. C. A. and the auditorium was crowded with a large and enthusiastic audience of men and women who entered fully into the spirit of the meeting. The principal speaker was, Oswald G. Villard, the great race champion who was presented by Secretary Bell as the grandson of Oswald Garrison Villard of historic renown. Mr. Villard in a notable emancipation address told what the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was doing to suppress race prejudice and since the organization of the Association it had been able to do much to bring about a better sentiment for the Negro. Mr. Villard in his a dress urged the Negro to unite and corporate more for the things that will mean the most to them. Mr. Villard said it was greatly deplored that here was no little evidence of unity in the Negro race and it was that feature that caused the Negro to be so little respected. Before Mr. Villard spoke Harry T. Burleigh, the well known solitary sang several plantation melodies, among them being Freedom in which the audience joined. Cleveland O. Allen read the Emancipation Proclamation, and J. D. Jones gave Lincoln's Get tree rg Address.

The Crisis published in this city at 26 Vesey Street and the official organ of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its January issu up sounds the clarion call for battle on its front page. The Crisis quotes the famous motto that stirred on the early abolitionists, which reads, "He who would be free, himself must strike the blow." Your correspondent takes this as a call to arms, and the race to stand in readiness to secure its freedom. CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. Liverpool (Ohio) Notes. Special to The PLANET. January 18th, the Second Baptist Sunday School was largely attended. There were about forty present. The pastor, Dr. T. R. Hall preached a strong sermon, subject, The Perpetual Name of Jesus. Master Carl Phillips of Steubenville, Ohio, who was reported killed by a train last July, was in the city over Sunday. Glad to know that he is yet alive. Brother William Vaughan is yet on the sick list. The Missionary Circle of the Second Baptist Church met at Sister M. B. Fountain's and V. V. Logan's home with a short prayer meeting, before the business of the evening was taken up. We had a great meeting and at the close of the meeting a nice luncheon was served. We will be glad when it comes their time to serve again. The Personal Workers League of Kent Liverpool and Wellville held a memorial service of the deceased Brother George L. Loran. The service was very impressive. The following programme was rendered: Fifteen minutes praise service: Invocation Dr. J. M. Tate; choir: As a Citizen, W. W. Allen; solo: P. T.

Tate of the A. M. E. Church of this city made strong speeches. At six o'clock the B. Y. P. U. opened up. Most of the young people were out, because of the late hour of the memorial service at 7:30. The services consisted of a memorial service of the deceased Deacon Major Younger who died December 27, 1913 at Meadville, Va. He had lived here member of the Second Baptist Church for twelve year, and had been also a member of the I. O. of St. Luke, No. 540 and a member of Oakland Lodge, No. -5, Knights of Pythias.

Some one has sent us a special num- ber of a Negro monthly magazine, which appears to us to be about the most incessant document that has passed through the mails since the anarchist literature was barred. On its title page this remarkable publication bears this legend: "Hered Itary Bondmen! Know Ye Not, Who Would Be Free Must Strike the Blow!" Answering its own question the magazine proceeds to list some of the "blown" valant Negroes have struck, the race-hatred they have aroused, the bloodshed they have precipitated, the insolence which has aroused so many against them. Altogether the array would be amusing were not the purpose so manifestly vicious. But it is in the editorial columns that the katee is struck. Readers are informed that "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People" exists to right the wrongs of the Negro race, and that every Negro must "join or die." A little further, we learn that the magazine interprets and informs its readers for the one object and the sole object of arresting their lighting blood." It stands for "for a definite method of lightning." R "down . . . of simply protect or simply tell the unprotected Gimbell Bros., Philadelphia. Mitchell Fletcher Co.; Philadelphia. Thos. C.

It orizes "fight," and adds: "Here are weapons and here is the battle line. What are the weapons? Organized publicity, advertisement, public meeting, petitions, arrest, law suits, protest, investigation, research, resistance—every way in which the civilized world has fought and must fight and will fight wrong." This particular magazine is of limited circulation, and is probably the organ of ambitious Negroes in New York. Its remarks, therefore, are scarcely worthy of consideration and its opinions beneath notice. But we wish spirit to spread among the Negroes can but think how disaster can be its works. Ordered to night," the Negro would appeal to the weapons with which he is most familiar—the razor and the revolver; forced to crush the presumption of the blacks, some of the whites would be inclined to answer with ruthless repression and cruel injustice. All that has been gained in a generation for good will and peace would be sacrificed. Is second to none of its size in equipment. Safety brings Confidence and Confidence brings Business. How different is the tone of this magazine from that voiced time and time again in the South—voiced, for instance, at the Southern Sociological Conference and at the Virginia Conference of Charities and Corrections. At these meetings white men and black meet and discuss their problems, meet in a spirit of friendship and conciliation, meet in an honest desire to deal justly and to give the Negro a fair chance. From these conferences will come, we trust, the solution of the race question: from orders to "fight or die" naught but disaster can follow. ```markdown ``` Housekeeper Wanted.

First Postal Bank Swindle What is believed to have been the first case of successful winding of the postal savings bank through forgery came to light in Omaha, Neb. with the announcement of the arrest there of Philip Nugent, alias Jack D. Lynch, of Phoenit, Ariz. Nugent is accused of forging the name of Coval Morris and obtaining $30 deposited by him in the Omaha postal bank. Scranton Coal Dealer Stain.
