HIS CONEMPLATED VISIT TO KANSAS CITY IS AWAITED WITH ANXIETY AND DELIGHT. VOLUME VIII. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. HIS CONEMPLATED VISIT TO K. ANXIETY A PARTY STRIFE BLAMED R. C. KERNS SAYS IT KEEPS MISSOURI REPUBLICANS OUT. Declares That the Struggle for Federal Patronage Has Shipwrecked the Party. Jefferson City, Mo., March 10.—At the Republican caucus to night the following letter from Richard C. Kereens, acknowledging his nomination at the beginning of the session for the United States Senate, to succeed Senator Vest, was read: Hon. John H. Bothwell, Chairman Missouri Republican Joint Legislative Caucus, Jefferson City, Mo.: My Dear Sir—Some time ago I was duly advised that I had been nominated as the Republican candidate for United States Senator by the joint caucus of the Forty-second General Assembly. Absence from home has alone prevented me from sooner making my acknowledgement of the high compliment. I now beg to return my sincere thanks, through you as chairman, to the Republican Senators and Representatives, and to assure you and them of my appreciation of the honor conferred. I also beg that you will convey to the sixty-eight Republicans in the present Legislature the assurance that it will be my alm and my pleasure at all times to advance the interests of the Republican party in Missouri, and that my efforts will be devoted in the future, as in the past, to the upbuilding of a united and harmonious party organization throughout every county and city of the state. Upon all the great issues since its creation the Republican party has been right. Our party is the party of action and results, having as its highest purpose and inspiration the greatest benefit to the people and the highest glory and credit to our republic. For more than thirty years Republicans in Missouri have been walking in the gloom of defeat, but we are greatly encouraged by the fact that at each Presidential election the party has shown a steady increase in the aggregate vote, until in the campaign of 1990 it marshaled a grand army of more than three hundred thousand votes, and this notwithstanding the fact that the statute books of the state were polluted by the presence of the most infamous laws, passed for the express purpose of keeping the Democratic party in power without regard to the votes of the people. This continued and increasing strength of the Republican party justifies the conviction that, notwithstanding the obstacles interposed to prevent, our party will finally redeem Missouri and place her in the column of States permanently Republican. It would not be proper more than briefly to refer in this letter to some of the causese that have contributed to the failure of the Republican party to carry this state. In the first place we have had the Nesbit law which has practically distranchised the Republican an voters of St. Louis and handed the city and state over bodily to the Democratic party, which has for so long a time kept Missouri in bondage. But this is not all. There is no true Republican but who deplores the dissensions and factional strife within our party and which have added their weight to drag it down. There has been an unseemly struggle for federal office. Instead of fighting the common enemy, the party has been divided into factions which have fought each other for the spoils. It is because of federal patronage that the party has so often suffered shipwreck. Fully realizing that federal offices too often prove a source of weakness to the party in power, I have retrained as much as possible from in any manner seeking to control patronage or to dictate appointments. I have heretofore frequently stated my position in this respect in the public press. It has however, always been my effort to co-operate with party leaders, business men and patrons of the offices in communities, in the effort to adjust differences and compose conflicting elements when there have been controversies over offices, in the hope of strengthening the party. It is to be deplored that federal patronage is a source of weakness, when it ought to be made an element of strength. If the welfare of the Republican party, rather than of self, dominated party leaders, we would have no trouble. I have never urged the appointment of any one on account of expected benefits to myself. Experience and observation have taught the lesson, which is as old as this government itself, that appointment of individuals to office creates, with the unsuccessful applicant, a disappointed class, who become indifferent to parity success; even more than this—in their keen disappointment, they are often willing to see the opposition succeed. Another evil, detrimental to the party as well as to the individual, is the constant seeking of personal aggrandizement by party leaders. This ought not to be. Still another evident evil is the organization of committees, either state, congressional, city or county, whose paramount purpose, under the guise of party organization, is to procure federal office. Such committees bring permanent injury upon the party and lose the respect of voters. However, there is responsibility in supporting candidates for public office which must be assumed. We should see to it that only men of character, who enjoy the confidence and respect of the communities in which they reside, are chosen, and that the choice of the people shall be respected. Candidates of this character and standing, who are stanch Republicans, can be found in all communities throughout Missouri. KANSAS CITY, MO., FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1903. As national committeeman, I have acted upon these lines throughout, believing that such a course would be of best utility to the party in the matters just referred to, without in the slightest measure considering myself; and I would gladly have refrained 'from taking any part in advising as to appointments. Patronage is distasteful to me, but the persons whose standing, recommendation and service to the party entitled them to recognition I was in honor bound to aid in every way in my power. In this letter, my dear Mr. Bothwell, it is far from my intention to speak disparagingly of any one. There is no place or time in this busy life for tault finding. Mistakes of the past can and should be remedied in party affairs as well as in business. We should learn lessons from the past and rise above the littleness of petty politics, making our organization one for the benefit of the Republican party and not for the benefit of ourselves. Success, after this long struggle, can only be brought about by an absolutely united and harmonious party throughout the state; a broad and generous party organization, with toleration and good will for all, through whose agencies all differences will be adjusted, harmony restored, and the united army of Republican voters move to one strain and with one step to overwhelming victory. With high regard, I am, sincerely yours, R. C. KERENS. INDEPENDENCE NEWS Quarterly meeting at St. Paul's A. M. E. church last Sunday was a spiritual and financial success. The presiding elder, Rev.

The buildings which are used for Negro schools in this city are something awful and to compare them with those used for the white schools is like comparing a palace with a barn and a shack of a barn at that. This is a fact although nearly a million dollars in hands have been voted in the past few years. It is hoped that the school board will do what is right in this matter. Worry kills more men than work. INCIDENTS OF THE PRESIDENT'S TRIP THROUGH WESTERN STATES. Ever since the president's raid on the Mississippi carbide bridges, western senators, and representatives have been telling him that bear, deer and elk are simply overrunning the Rocky mountain region, and after carefully comparing notes and the properly at-tested reports of trusted friends, he selected the places which seem most promising of results and has arranged to camp out there. It bears are there in anything like the number alleged the president will return to Washington with a heart full of happiness and a language full of hides. If it develop that he has been buteoned against the men who have told him the glittering array of bear stories will find that they have stirred up a lot of trouble for themselves. The president and his party stop first in Northern Colorado. They leave the railroad well up toward the Wyoming line and plunge into the heart of the Rockies. They will leave as few guides as they can get along with and a small pack train to carry their camping outfit. In Northern Colorado Mr. Roosevelt will pay particular attention to bear. That is not a good region for other game, but the president has been told bear are so plentiful there that they tramp on one another's toes. He will hunt there for a week or ten days and gradually work north into the Big Horn mountains in Northern Wyoming. He will camp along the Powder river, or one of the historic streams of the West, and penetrate the Hole in the Wall" country. There his party will be stricken together by a few hardy "competitors" for he will be on dam percussion. The "Hole in the Wall" region is said to be alive with big game of all kinds, but it is also known to be the rendezvous of about the toughest gangs of despicable in the country. "Laughing Sarn" Catey, who is many times a murderer is the chief of the band and he is surrounded by forty or fifty criminals. Their presence has kept hunters away for years, and bears, elk and deer have found that section a safe haven. Mr. Rosevelt has no intention of entering the "Hole in the Wall" itself for fear his party might be mistaken for a scout's posse, but he will go as close to it as is considered safe. There the president will be close to the southern border of the Yellowstone Park, within which no hunting is allowed and where the game is protected by United States soldiers. Within the guarded prospects of the A Question of Diplomacy. Not long ago, a newspaper man called on Secretary Hay to question him regarding a diplomatic incident of rather a delicate international character. The newspaper man was afraid he might make some injudicious inquiry and said, "Mr Secretary, I am afraid my questions are not quite proper from a diplomatic standpoint" "My dear sir," answered Secretary Hay, "I don't think any question you may ask be im proper. The impropriety depends on whether or not I answer it." MAP SHOWING THE ROUTE OF PRESIDENTS HUNTING TRIP. park there are not only countless bear, deer and elk, but herds of buffalo and moose as well. The president has no thought of violating the law but if the hunting fails to come up to his expectations, it would be possible for his companions to redeem their promises by entering the park and chasing a choice lot of game in Mr. Roosevelt's direction. Of course the president is too good a hunter to consent to such an arrangement, but as a last resort it could be done without his knowledge. Buffalo total on Wind river is one of the places where camp will be pitched. The tord derives its name from the herds of buffalo that used to cross the river there. They sometimes still wander down that way from the park and the president hopes to get a shot at them. From there the party will enter the hunter's paradise of the West the famous "Jackson's Hole" country, Jackson's Lake is in the heart of the Teton range at the southern end of the Bitter Roos mountains. Mighty peaks, on whose tips the snow never melts, surround the lake so completely as to give it the appearance of a hole ding out by mastodontic hands, and the scenery is as wild and rugged as to be found anywhere in the Rockies. The Teton tango is on the Idaho Wyoming line and the "Hole" is near the southwest corner of the park. The "Hole" is literally filled with game, the area are not so plentiful there as further east in the Powder river country, but great harbors of deer, elk and moose, with now and then a few buffalo, roam the hills and canyons. The president's journey from the East was marked by the usual incidents of such a trip, and his arrival at Chicago April 2 was an event for the Windy City. Here he delivered a speech to the students of Northwestern university at Evanston in the morning, laid the corner stone of a new building of the University of Chicago in the afternoon, and attended a banquet and delivered an address to an audience of thousands at the Auditorium in the evening. He left for Milwaukee at midnight. Uncle Dan's Brand of Booze Uncle Dan's Brand of Booze. "Uncle Dan Pan Hope was in town last Saturday and makes the startling announcement that either the courthouse or the big hill is rising, or else the hill at Jim Neel's place is sinking. He declares that at a designated spot near his house he once could stand and just see the top of the cupola of the courthouse over the Neel hill, but now he can stand at the same spot and see the entire cupola and part of the roof. Who can explain it?-Morgantown (Ky.) Republican." The president arrived at Milwaukee at 2 o'clock the afternoon of April 3 and departed at midnight, on schedule time for La Crose after putting in one of the busiest days in his strenuous life. He made three set speeches, shook hands with hundreds of enthusiastic citizens and greeted many old friends. In his speech at the Pliankinton house banquet at night the president devoted his attention exclusively to the subject of trusts. He counselled against basty action that would injure legitimate enterprises and declared that the cutting down of the tariff instead of killing the trusts would only kill our own manufactures. In his speech at Waukesha the president elaborated his idea of the proper course of the United States toward foreign nations and strongly deprecated the policy of bluster and loud talk. When President Roosevelt stepped from the special on its arrival in Milwaukee and greeted the committee and the crowd with his famous smile it was the signal for a burst of applause from thousands of people. The glam of his white teeth was the first impression the onlookers got. Then his hearty way of acknowledging the reception brought at more cheers, which showed spontaneous regard for the president of the United States. He was welcomed at the train by Mayor Rose, President Wadhams of the Merchant's and Manufacturers' association and Gen. Otto Falk. When he entered his carriage the expression of good will was so cordial that he reminded standing bareheaded for over a block, bowing right and left. President Roosevelt was particularly interested in the rough riders of troop A, which formed his escort and frequently spoke to the men as they neared his carriage. By the time he arrived at the soldiers' home the carriage was completely filled with flowers, spontaneous tributes paid the president, all by school children. At the home he was greeted by Col. Wheeler, the commandant, and his talk to the veterans was full of sympathy. Dublin Students Have Fun The students of Jublin university celebrated the election of a new member of parliament recently. James H. Campbell, the Irish solicitor general, who was elected, was borne through the streets sitting on the driver's seat of a jaunting car, with yelling students between the shafts. His dress was naturally in a deplorable state after all this and in this condition he was taken to a photographer's where he sat for his picture, ordered by the students at the rate of twelve for a shilling. JACKSON LAKE S. DAKOTA DEADWOOD NELBRAKA PRESIDENT LEAVES TRAIN HERE RADO DENVER HUNTING TRIP. It was at the Dutcher club afterward that he relaxed for the first time and joined in the funnaking like a college boy. He was the jollest of the merry crowd gathered there to greet him. The president after listening to the German students' songs insisted on leading one himself, and led the re-sounding chorus through the lines of "Hoch Soil Er Leben" and followed this by leading those present in three reeching cheers and a tiger that sounded like a Comanche Indian yell. "I would rather be here among the boys," he said in a moment of exuberance, "than at a banquet." President Roosevelt was then driven to the Plankitton house, where he rested about an hour before attending the banquet which was given in his honor by the Milwaukee Merchants' and Manufacturers' association. At La Crosse there was a stop of two hours while the president drove about the city and delivered a short address. The president was met at St. Paul, Minn., the afternoon of April 4, by the mayor and civic committee, and delivered an address to the legislature in the hall of the house of representatives. He also made a public address from the cast front of the capitol leaving the city for Minneapolis at 3:30 p.m. At Minneapolis at 9 p.m. President Roosevelt, after a street parade, made a public address at the university armory. At 19 o'clock he spoke to the students in university chapel, and half an hour later left the Union station for Sioux Falls, S. D. Our Enormous Manufactures. In view of the establishment of the Department of Commerce and Labor, it may be interesting to note that the internal commerce of the United States last year has been estimated by the government statistician at $20,000,000,000. Fifty years ago it was only $2,000,000,000. The manufactures of the United States are nearly double those of Great Britain and Ireland and about equal to those of France, Germany and Russia combined. Not a Dime Novel Reader Someone recently started a story that Senator Hoar of Massachusetts is an omnivorous reader of blood and thunder stories. The senator's son, District Attorney Rockwood Hoar of Worcester, Mass., indignantly denies that his father is a victim of the dime novel habit. "I don't believe the senator ever read such a book," says Hoar junior. "He is fond of novels, it is true, but not of the shocker brand. 'Dick Dead Eye' and 'Old Slenth literature has no attraction for him." More Than 1,250,000 of Them in Other States of the Union. There are more than 1,250,000 natives of New York now resident in other states of the country, and very few of these, relatively, adopted the advice given to New Yorkers many years ago to go West and grow up with the country. Only one state of the West has a considerable population of native-born New Yorkers, and that state is, strange to say, Michigan. There are 160,000 natives of New York resident in Michigan—more than 10 per cent of the whole number of native New Yorkers resident in other states. After Michigan, but with a much smaller number of New York residents, comes Illinois. The two Western states which have the largest number of Native-born New Yorkers next to Michigan are Wisconsin and Minnesota. Emigration from this state has not been on the usual lines of travel through the middle West, but has been decidedly toward the northwest, and especially into states along the Canada border. There are some curious facts shown in the distribution of rative-born New Yorkers through the country. There are nearly twice as many in California, on the distant Pacific, as there are in Missouri, in the Mississippi valley. There are more natives of New York resident in the single state of Massachusetts than in all the states of the South collectively. There is a very small number of New Yorkers in Indiana, and actually fewer by several thousand in Ohio, one of the most populous states of the country, than in Connecticut, one of the smallest. The largest numbers of natives of New York resident in another state are found, of course, in New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, which adjoins New York throughout nearly all its south boundary line and a portion of its west boundary line, has a considerable number—New York Sun. MAKING WAR ON INSECTS "Set a Bug to Catch a Bug" Now the Accented Motto The orthodox way to dispose of a noxious insect is to import from foreign parts a beneficent insect which will attack and kill it. This is the plan which the guardians of certain Massachusetts parks are considering for the extermination of the gypsy and browntail moths. There is an insect it appears, which regards the gypsy moth as its natural quarry, and a good-sized importation of these creatures would undoubtedly do the work of a great many industrious men with spraying machines. It is just the same method of procedure which has been adopted to fight the San Jose scale, which is itself supposed to be an importation from Hawaii or Australia. The department of agriculture has imported from China an insect which preys upon the San Jose scale, and these are raised in cages of netting and distributed to the fruit growers of the far West. Set a bug to catch a bug may well be the agriculturist's motto. According to a recent estimate, the havoc wrought by a dozen species of insects causes this country an expense of more than $300,000,000 a year. These are the chinch bug, the grasshopper, the Hessian fly, the potato bug, the San Jose scale, the grain weevil, the apple worm, the army worm, the cabbage worm, the boll weevil, the boll worm and the cotton worm. The chief difficulty is that the imported bugs may be just as objectionable as the domestic, though in different ways. New York Evening Post. Needed a Tonic "No," said the mistress of the Sixth ward home to which a vendor of a sure cure for catarrh applied yesterday. "I haven't any catarrh, don't need any medicine for it, and wouldn't buy any from a peddler, anyway." "But, madam," said the cheeky pushing his way into the house. "let me tell you about this wonderful remedy." He yanked out his samples and his order book and recalled off his regular song—everybody has catarrh, everybody buys this remedy, and everybody sniffs it three times a day and drives the catarrh out of the keyhole, etc. When he paused for wind the angry woman sweetly asked 766 questions and kept him talking for an hour. When his voice was worn to a whisper she said, calmly: "Well, I haven't a cent of money in the house, so I can't buy any of your medicine——" "Why in blazes didn't you say so an hour ago?" he yelled as he boiled for the street. - Pittsburg Dispatch.

PRIZES TO COOKS. $7,500,000 In Cash to Be Distributed Between now and July 1st, family cooks, whether employees or the mistress of the household, will be following the plan laid down for improvement in cooks in a contest for T35 cash prizes ranging from $200.00 to $5.00 offered by the Postum Coffee Co., Ltd. The winners must show improvement in general cookery as clearly stated in the rules for the test. No one has to buy or pay anything whatever. It is simply an earnest effort on the part of Mr. Post to stimulate the household cook to more careful and skillful cookery. To have light, sweet, bread, and cakes instead of heavy, sour and indigestible things. To have no more greasy, burned or dried-out meats. To have properly made Coffee, Postum and tea. To have delicate and digestible, toothsome desserts and a table clean, tasty and a pleasure to look upon. And so $7,500.00 in actual money will be spent to encourage the cooks of the country to better effort. And you housekeepers, please forever abandon the term "hired girl." Teach your cook the dignity of her profession, call her the cook. If her duties include other services, well and good, but don't detract from her professional title by calling her the "hired girl." That term doesn't fit a good cook. A certificate bearing the large seal of the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., will go to each of the 735 winners in this contest. These certificates or diplomas will be as valuable to the holders as a doctor's sheepskin is to him. A postal card to the Cookery Dept. No. 349 of the big pure food factories of the Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., at Battle Creek, Mich., will bring a sheet of plainly printed rules for the contest.

He leaves a large family and a host of friends to mourn his loss. Mr. Jackson, of state line street, an old member of St John's A M E church, passed away last week, the last of the old timers in the west bottoms.

NOTES It is the desire of the association to enlarge its work as fast as we can. We can do so only with your help. Will you help? A grand sacred concert for the benefit of the Y M. C. A. will be given at the Second Baptist church Thursday April 23. The Y M. C. A. stands for the development of Christian character. Some of our best talent will be on the program of the sacred concert. Our parents could help the association and their sons by getting them interested in association work. THE VETERAN TEACHER Twenty years ago Prof. R. S. Bailey was made principal of the Lincoln school. Prior to that time the frequent changes of principals seriously affected the welfare and success of the school. Prof. Bailey in a quiet and unassuming way soon affected many changes. The school grew and prospered. Meanwhile Prof. Bailey organized a high school department. For a number of years the grammar school and high school were conducted under his supervision. Some of the best teachers in the city schools to-day were pupils who passed the grammar school and high school under his supervision. In 1885 the first class was graduated. It was an epoch in the progress of schools for colored youth in this city. The event was keenly appreciated alike by the patrons of the school and board of education. We quote from the Hon. R. L. Yeager, then president of the Board: Kansas City, Mo., May 29, 1885, Prof. R. S. Bailey. Principal of Lincoln High School. Dear Sir: I regret to say that I will be unable to be present at your commencement exercises June 1, 1885. I am unexpectedly called out of the city to day and will be absent for a week or ten days. Inasmuch as these will be the first graduates from the Lincoln high school, it was my earnest desire to be present. Graduation of pupils from the Lincoln High School marks a new era in the history of the colored schools in Kansas City, and I am sure all will rejoice at this new evidence of the progress made by the colored youth of our city. While it has been but a few years since the public schools were opened to your people, we find they have made such great progress as to entitle them to receive the honors to be conferred on Monday night, and while the advancement has been great, they should bear in mind that they simply stand at the threshold. There is much very much, for them yet to do. They shall and must be, an example to those following in their footsteps. I would impress upon them the fact that their real work is just commencing, and as representatives, it devolves upon them to show and teach the rising youths, the great benefits to be derived from a good solid education. It should be their duty and pleasure to assist the colored people to a higher plane of usefulness. Let them know that in a very great measure the standing and usefulness of a class or face of people rests largely with themselves. It is for them to make their place in the world and age in which they live. Just as a man conducts himself so will he be respected. We have the right to expect still greater development, and from time to time as required, enlarged opportunities will be afforded for a higher educational development. The state, in no stinted manner, places the opportunity in the reach of all to obtain an education; and she has the right to ask that they will use this for a good purpose, and that they shall exert their power and influence in moulding and building up society. My best wishes go with the class of 'N5, and may the occasion be an incentive to all the colored youth of the city. Regretting my absence, I am very truly yours. R. L. YEAGER Prof. Bailey always had the confidence of the patrons of the school and the board of education. He is an honor to the race. PROF. VERNON HONORED The reception tendered Prof. Vernon by the Faculty and Students of the Western University in Stanley Hall Friday evening. March 27, was a splendid dilture to a splendid Negro. The Faculty and Students had everything arranged to suit the most tastifious and the splendid audience that graced the occasion with their presence listened to precepts and saw examples of some of the most cultured and thoughtful leaders of our race, and we were made to feel proud of the ambition energy and determination of our magnificent women and positive race leaders. A more representative body of American Negroes never met at any time to do honor to one of their strong men. Wm. Vetton has done a wonderful work and a wonderful people imbued with the western spirit of "get there" turned out cinnamon to do him honor.

It is sure to be successful. Mrs Scott makes an excellent chairman and wins the love of all. Sunday services were largely attended and all seemed interested in the sermon. Next Sunday will be palm Sunday and will be duly observed by Rev. Scott as usual. His sermons on palm Sunday have always been excellent, so com- and hear him. There was nearly two thirds of Alen's members went to Independence at the earnest request of Rev. Scott last Sunday to the quarterly meeting. They did not go empty handed, they helped with the collection as their pastor requested and had a splendid time and of course Rev. Scott's table had the largest collection. We were glad to see Mrs. Warts who has been very ill the past few weeks in her accustomed place again. The class meetings have been well attended lately and as the weather is getting pleasant we hope to see them increased in numbers, so the stewards can keep up their expenses. If the spiritual part of the church is all right you need not worry about the time ela The Sunday school is preparing a splendid programme for Easter Sunday. Be sure and hear the little ones in their songs and recitations. Our Easter services will be excellent and it is hoped that our church will be full all day. We do hope our congregation will begin to get to church earlier. Our young men are obliged to leave before the sermon is finished every Sunday and it is not fair to our pastor after he has spent so much time preparing a good sermon, to be interrupted every few minutes by people coming in. Services should begin promptly at 11 o'clock and we should never be later than that if we expect to hear a good sermon. It certainly requires an extra amount of patience as well as some other things to pastor a large church. Read the Rising Son if you want to know how we come out on Easter.

Although only six years of age and as bumps as thunder could possibly be she some stories show for the companionship of some one as young as herself. Her grandparents were of course very loving and kind. Indeed it was impossible for them to be otherwise toward a sweet, three girl whose eyes were the blushing snow apples and whose eyes reflected the deep blue of the clear sunny sky. What! bring a carver to that rosy month where shone two rows of pearls, or bring low in sorrow that curly blonde head! It was unthinkable. Grandmaanna would often hold the child close to her heart and owl out-fashioned billabies into her ears, or else tell her about the wool sprites and fatresses. Grandpaanda was accustomed to take her shill-like ears in the great room hands, and holding her face close to his whisper. "Be not cast down a sweet Lola. The heart to you and our is old Grandmother and I know what their wouldst have. But wait and we shall *** One Easter over hew child to her. "Thou it been a good child Lola and the son here will surely bring the great joy, much a companion. Look well on the morning when the sun shall dance and tipt, the gattes of the butter flare." The boy would have have dressed with a coat of thought of receiving a companion from the good rabbit, as it was being bibbed about the house until a queen took her in her foot to sleep until the morning sun of the morning would shine in at the window. Now in the country where Lola loved the baster here was as important to the young people as the Christmas St. Nébula. "If we are good and dotty," they said. "The white hare will come when we are asleep and hide a beautiful colored eyes for us to find." Sometimes he let a babe after the manner of storks in other countries. It has always been believed that the hare has something to do with Easter day on account of the moon, that orbiting the Sun when Easter is to be observed, that is, Easter day is the Sunday on or nearest the March moon, the day when Spring opens or begins. In ancient times the hare was the symbol of the moon, for the following reasons, among many others. The hare is a nocturnal animal, coming out at night to feed, the female carries her young a month, which represents the lunar cycle. Again the hares are born with their eyes wide open, a fact which caused the Egyptians to give the hares the name of "un" which means "open, to open, the opening." The moon being considered the open-eyed watcher of the skies at night, and the hare an open-eyed animal of nocturnal hare, the hare and the moon were connected with Easter. Moreover, the hare was associated with the opening o A girl is playing with a doll. Half buried in the hay. the new year at Easter, as well as with the beginning of a new life in youth and madness. This was also the significance attached to eggs, which were symbolical of the revivalification of nature: the spilling forth of life in the spring a resurrection. The old legends still hold good, and hence we see eggs and rabbits in every shop window about Easter time. Lola was well acquainted with all the folk tales concerning Easter, and she believed impurity in the power of the white moon hone to bring her any gift she might desire. So when the rays of the bright sun danced in through her window, she bounded in of her warm bed, hurriedly dressed and rushed out into the living room, where her grandfather was standing before the huge log fire. "Ah, ha, little one!" he exclaimed, giving her a hearty kiss, "so thou art art early after the moon hare? Haste, little one, and seek his gifts. Forget not the warm nook in the barn." Seizing a basket to hold the expected eggs, she darted out to the great barn, but soon returned with eyes as large as saucers, and breathless with excitement. "Come quickly, granada," was all she could say as she began pulling him toward the door. And what do you think they found? Why, a little chubby boy, half buried in the bay. Around him were the shells of many colored eggs, the yolks of which stained his hands and face, testified that he had dined heartily on the moon hare's gifts. While they were looking down upon him in astonishment he awoke, rubbed his eyes, and after looking around A woman in a long dress and a hat sits on a bench, talking to two children in dresses and hats. In the background, a man in a suit stands. She sat in the park. he began to cry. At which Lola ran to him, and putting her arms around him in a motherly way, attempted to soothe him. "Do not cry, little one, you belong to me. The moon hare brought you to me for a companion. You will see how happy I can make you. Come, we will go to breakfast and then we will play." Threats, entreaties and caresses failed to unlock the lips of the little man, but after he had gorged himself with hot coffee and cakes, his reserve thawed long enough to enable his hosts to learn, that his name was "Bertie," that he had run away from home because nobody loved him; that his stepmother beat him and he hated him. He concluded his little history by putting his arms around the delighted Lola's neck and offering his jaws for a kiss. The child's parents were quietly found in the neighboring village, but at the earliest cuttiness of Lola he was permitted to remain with her for a short visit, which lengthened into several months, during which time the two became boy and girl lovers. Bertie's father, obliged to depart for a distant part of the country, separated the heartbroken children, Lola, particularly to return to be comforted. I will bring Bertie to you next summer," said his father, and with that hope she dried her tears. Years elapsed, however before the two met again. Lola cherished the memory of her moon, hare gift, and Bertie never forgetting his little blueeyed blonde playmate. Many Easter eves came and went, and each of them hoped the moon hare would bring them together, but he apparently neglected them. Lola's grand parents were laid away in the churchyard, and the little girl now grown to womanhood, was left alone to battle with the world. Bertie, too, was alone but somehow they never met though each had visited the old home in the hope of once more meeting. However, neither could find a trace of the other. Youthful impressions are generally blotted out in less than twenty years, but in this case the memory of Lola and Bertie was fres and green. They had met with hardships, hers all the harder to bear because she was a woman, until it came about for the twentieth time after the moon hare had given Lola a corseted companion that he made preparations to delight her again. On a bright afternoon of a certain Easter eye, a beautiful young girl perhaps, young lady" would be a better term to apply to her, sat in a shattered mook in the city park, amusing a bevy of little girls not more than seven years of age. Just behind her, separated by a tilt screen of evergreen hedge, sat a young man, smiling as he listened to the chatter. "Did the Easter rabbit ever bring you anything, Lola?" questioned one of the little ones who had been gravely listening to the talk lore told by her older companion. "Yes, once he brought me my heart's desire." "Tell us all about it, Lola," and the young maidens clapped their hands and gathered close around her. "There is not much to tell," said Lola. "I was a little orphan and lived with my dear grand parents near a small village. I was just your age, baby Clara, six years, and I had never had a companion to play wita, and I wanted one so badly." Unperceived by any of them, the young man on the other side of the hedge turned around to look and listen. The name of "Lola" had attracted his attention and the beginning of the circumstances of the story seemed tautiful. "One Easter night I went to bed dreaming of a companion and praying that the white moon hare would bring me one in the morning when' the sun danced in through the window. I had faith in him, you see, my dear children. Well, early in the morning I searched all the hiding places for his gifts and buried in the bay, under the manger in the barn, I found the dearest, sweetest little boy in the world. He was lying asleep near a heap of colo, ed egg shells and he looked as if he had just been hatched out of them. The little rogue had eaten them. "You can imagine my joy, for I really believed the moon hare had given him to me. I claimed him, anyhow, but, alas, he did not belong to me. His father, however, permitted him to remain and visit me for several months, then took him away and I have never seen him since. It nearly broke my heart." The young man behind the hedge seemed to be excited, for he arose and started to break in upon the little company, but refrained to hear the answer to a question put by one of the little ones. "Did you love him very much, Lola? What was his name?" "With my whole heart," answered the young lady, "and I mourn for him as one forever lost to me. Would that I could see him once more and tell him how much I love my moon hare gift, my little Bertie?" The young man smiled and shut his teeth and hands hard to avoid interrupting them. He waited until they went away and then he followed cautiously to find out where the young lady lived. The next morning when the bells were ringing out their joyous peals, and the sun was dancing in through her window, Lola was startled by a vigorous knock upon her door. Timily opening it a little, she saw a young man who stood a moment smiling at her, then he boldly pushed his way into the room and seized the frightened girl in his arms. "Do not fear, darling Lola, I am Bertie, your moon hare gift, I believe in him now as much as you did when he gave me to you, for he has given you to me on this glorious Easter morning." Lilies for God EASTER IN THE HOLY CITY. Mohammedans and Christians Unite in Rejoicing. Wonderful to the western eyes are the Easter celebrations at Jerusalem. Nowhere else on earth is the festival commemorated with greater pomp and enthusiasm, by Jew as well as Mohammedan and Christian. For weeks, pilgrims from both Greek and Latin churches pour into Jerusalem from every part of the globe. Every dwelling place is crowded to its utmost, and far out on the western slope of Mt. Olivet may be been innumerable white tents. On the Wednesday before Easter one is awakened by the bleating of lambs half strangled with the white alkaline dust of Jerusalem. The shepherds are loud and quarrelsome, fighting for the best places. Thousands are there already, and thousands are on their weedy way, for it is "a sheep to a man." On this day both rich and poor must buy a sheep for the sacrifice on Thursday, when the sheep must be killed and eaten, yet no man may eat his own sacrifice. Every man's table is supplied at his neighbor's expense. Thursday is a day of footwashing. The ceremony is performed by priests arrayed in dazzling robes of jewels and gold embroidery. Friday is a day of processions, when all the youth of the city, in superb robes and on horse back, turn out. On the night of Good Friday may be seen at least 10,000 pilgrims standing or kneeling on the stone floors and benches silent, prayerful and immovable waiting for the dawn. All the night the street resounds with the "Resurrection Hymn," which on Easter is changed to the crowning glory of the Greek Easter, "Christ Is Risen." One of the old features of the Easter celebration at Jerusalem is the part that the Mohammedan takes in it. It is well known that the Mohammedan does not believe in the resurrection of Christ, but they look upon him as a prophet, as a follower of the great Mahomet. The sacredness with which, as subjects of the Sultan of Turkey, they guard the tomb of Christ and the spot whereon the crucifixion took place is apparent to all. In fact, thousands upon thousands of Turks have died in defense of the cross and the tomb, and today they look upon Christ as the greatest prophet next to Mahomet. They join in the Easter celebration they visit the sacred spots that figured in the life of Christ with a pleios regularity that is not surpassed by the Christians. Russian Observances. In Russia the Easter egg is of more importance than it is in any other country. Nobody starts out on Easter Sunday without a quantity of eggs. After the morning church service is over the priests and people cluck eggs together as a sign of kindly feeling. No Russian woman, no matter how high her birth, can refuse to kiss the most humble serf, if he first presents her with an egg. should be in every household, none so good, besides 4 oz. more for 10 cents than any other brand of cold water starch.

A Farmer's Good Story. Velpen, Ind, April 6th—Wm. O.B. Sullivan, a highly respected farmer of this place, tells a personal experience to show that there is still some ginniness and honest worth to be met with in this age in which so many frauds are reported. "Yes, I have been humbugged," and Mr. Sullivan, "and when I was so ill with the Rheumatism, Kidney and Heart Trouble, I used a good deal of stuff that claimed to be remedies for these diseases only to find them worthless. "But, as you know, I did find the genuine remedy after all and I had not been taking Dodd's Kidney Pills very long before I knew that they were an honest remedy that would do all and more than was claimed for them. They cured me, made a well man of me and I am now as sound as I ever was. "I can testify that Dodd's Kidney Pills are a genuine remedy for Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble."

SMILES Good Cheer and Good Food Go Together. Improper feeding is the source of most human ails. Sick people don't laugh much. It is the healthy and strong who see the sunny side of everything. Pure, scientific food will correct most ailments and bring laughter and good cheer in place of sickness and gloom. The wife of a physician of Dayton, O., says: "Before I had finished the first package of Grape Nuts, which I got at the urgent request of a friend of mine several months ago, I was astonished to find I was less nervous over small matters and worried less over large ones, laughed more readily and was at all times more calm and contented than I had ever been in my life. I found also that the hollow places in my neck and shoulders were filling out and that astonished me as I had always been very thin, as women with starved nerves are apt to be. "After a time I discontinued the use of Grape Nuts for two months and found the old symptoms return at once. I went back to the use of the food again and feel well and strong. I can increase my weight at will from five to ten pounds a month by using more or less of the food. Before I was married I was for five years a trained nurse and I have never in all my experience seen anything to act as quickly and favorably as this scientific food." Name given by Postum Co.

There are several ranchers in this district who, in addition to taking care of their cattle, carry on farming as well; their herds of cattle number from 100 to 200 or 300 head, and live out all winter without any shelter than the poplar bluffs, and they come in in the spring in good order. Most of the ranchers feed their cattle part of the time, about this time of the year, but I have seen the finest fat cattle I ever saw that never got a peck of grain—only fattened on the grass. I see I have learned to talk farm since I came here—farming is the great business here. I know several in this district who never worked a day on the farm till they came here, and have done well and are getting well off. I think this will be the garden of the Northwest some day, and that day not very far distant. There has been a great change since we came here, and there will be a greater change in the next five years. The winters are all anyone could wish for. We have very little snow, and the climate is one and healthy. Last summer was wet, but not to an extent to damage crops, which were a large average yield and the hay was immense—and farmers wore a broad smile accordingly. We have good schools, the government pays 70 per cent of the expense of education, which is a great boon in a new country. Of course churches of different denominations follow the settlements. Summer picnics and winter concerts are all well attended, and as much, or more, enjoyed as in the East. Who would not prefer the pure air of this climate with its broad acres of fine farms, its ripping streams, its beautiful lakes, its millions of wild flowers, its groves of wild fruit of exquisite flavor, its streams and lakes teeming with fish and its prairies and bluffs with game, to the crowded and stiff state of society in the East. I would like to go home for a visit some time, but not to go there to live, even if presented with the best farm in Michigan. Beautiful Alberta, I will never leave it. And my verdict is only a repetition of all who have settled in this country. This year I believe will add many thousands to our population. And if the young men, and old men also, know how easy they could make a home free of all incumbrance in this country, thousands more would have settled here. I would sooner have 160 acres here than any farm where I came from in Michigan, but the people in the East are coming to a knowledge of this country, and as they do they will come West in thousands. All winter people have been arriving in Alberta, and I suppose in other parts as well, which is unusual, so we expect a great rush when the weather gets warmer. We have no coal famine here. Coal can be bought in the towns for $2 to $3, according to distance from the mines, and many haul their own coal from the mines, getting it there for 50 cents to a dollar a ton. Very truly yours. The fellow who makes a tool of him sel, generally saves some one else the trouble. If winter left you "all run down," wind up with Hires Rootbeer That will "set you going." Five gallons for 25 cents.

THE new, non-failing and infallible combined treatment for the human Hair, jointly, cannot fail to lend to the Hair length, lustre, life, and beauty. One year ago the directors of the BOSTON CHEMICAL CO. were able to produce an absolutely perfect and reliable treatment for the Hair, appropriated the sum of $0.000 for this purpose and the world's most noted chemists were secured, who, after twelve months of investigation and costly experiments, have successfully formulated a treatment that is harmless and innocent, that its immediate effects upon the Hair border upon the miraculous. This treatment can be used to produce results most gratifying, causing the Hair to grow long and luxurious, straight, and of a most delicate and pliable texture. This treatment results in the Hair to draw up, contract, curl, and tangle, thus making it easy to dress the Hair in any style desired. It causes the Hair to grow thicker, thinner, thin places, and bare temples. It is sure to prevent the Hair from falling, breaking off, and splitting at the ends.

The company M. PROF R T COLES THE PARKHURST OF THE WEST. The subject of this sketch is the Rev. Dr. O. W. J. Scott. He come to Kansas City in 1890 as successor of Dr. F. J. Peek pastor of Allen Chapel. Doctor Scott is a western man by birth and education. He is to-day one of the uppermost men of his race on all the living issues that are being discussed by the pulpit and press with reference to the Negro. His education is of the best. His moral standing is second to none; his abilities as pulpit orator is of the highest order and as a race man his is at the head of the list. The subject of this sketch needs no city, he is the proper man to place at introduction to the people of Kansas the head, as there is none better fitted City by nature training and experience. It city, he is the proper man to place at the head, as there is none better fitted by nature, training and experience. It he is a candidate for such a position, he is the most logical one we know. He is a man of but few words, but a visit to his school will convince anyone of his sound judgment and his value to the race. He thinks the race question belongs to the race, and that there is no quicker way to solve it than by getting a material foundation. "To learn the value of money, buy property and build up business is the only salvation of the race," he puts it. Coming to the city as he did in 1850, he at once identified himself with the interests of the race. His name is connected with every move that has been made to in any way better race conditions. As principal of Garrison school, he has won the respect and confidence of the Board of Education and his patrons. He is considered one of our best school men, and one of the most conservative. As a thinker and writer he ranks high and his reasoning is all ways considered sound. It has been his pleasure, as well as his duty, in the hour of race conflict and commotion to stand by the cause of the unfortunate of his race, and to see to it, that they were dealt with according to law and the constitution. It will be remembered that about one year and six months ago two of our young men were charged with a blemish crime and mobs had been formed for the purpose of lynching the accused, it was Dr Scott who went to Judge Jno. W. Wofford, police commissioners, Chief Hayes and certain other influential citizens of Kansas City, Mo., and had the mobs dispelled and order brought out of choas and a trial trial had for the accused. He thinks, too, that the salvation of our race largely depends upon the training our youth receives in the public schools and that it is all important that the best teachers be secured, and only those who have a deep interest in race progress. Mr. Coles is considered as an authority on Manual Training and his advice and opinions are often requested. If a Manual Training school is to be built for the colored people of this P. R. S. Dr. Scott is is to Kansas City what Parkhurst is to New York city. He condemns crime and sin when he sees it and commends honesty and merit, though found in those of the humblest walks of life. He goes into the notions of the lowly and suffering masses, he sees vice and sin as no other man in Kansas City. There is no man is this great western city so well posted on the conditions of the tolling masses as this man of God and humanity, Dr. Scott. He Deserves a Pension. The descendants of an Australian settler, 192 years of age, number 204 persons. He is in receipt of an old age pension from the Australian government. REV. O. W. J. SCOTT.
