The Rising Son

Rising Son It Pays to Advertise in the Rising Son for it Reaches More Homes of Colored Peop.e than any other Paper in the State. VOLUME VIII. J MAJ. WM. WARNER. Major William Warner, one of Missouri's best and purest men of the old school, addressed 20,000 Missourians at Humansville, August 6th, 1903. The struggle for the integrity of a government by the people did not end at Appomattox. The war between honesty and corruption is ever on. Between these irreconcilable forces the battle has been waged ever since Esau sold his birthright. The corruptionist is the enemy of society and government. In his insatisble greed for gain he barters party, friend and country. He masquerades as the friend of the people that he may put money in his purse. Money is the beginning, the middle and the end of every official act of the boodler. He permits neitner his alleged politics nor his assumed religion to interfere with his gathering in the corrupt loaves and fishes of office. The Major's remarks will no doubt have a wholesome influence upon the honest people of the state of Missouri! Major Warner is known the state overt as a staunch advocate of right. He speaks his sentiments upon justice to mankind regardless of color. The Major is known to have offered strong defence for the worthy and honorable Negroes of this country. He is regarded as a champion of all that is just, good and true. A COLORED LAUNDRY. There is a movement on foot in Kansas City, championed by some of the race, which has for its purpose the establishing of a first-class steam laundry. The object is to provide employment for our women who are first-class laundresses. There was an enthusiastic meeting held at th Vine street Baptist church on Tuesday night, the 21st, which was attended by some of the most prominent men and women of the race. This laundry is to be run by colored men and women, and owned by them, with all the modern first-class machinery necessary for such an institution. Much of the stock has already been subscribed, and on Tuesday night, July 28, there will be another THE HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM THE HOME OF THE FAMILY OF THE MARSHALLS THE HOME OF JOHN LANG, 912 PARK AVE. mass meeting of the colored people at the Vine Street Baptist church, to which all well-wishers of the enterprise are invited to attend and catch the spirit of do something for ourselves and open an avenue for our boys and girls, as the white people do for theirs. The men behind this move intend to see to it that this enterprise is a go. Come out and take some stock and be convinced that the colored brother can do something for himself. The stock is divided into shares of one dollar, but the purchaser of shares can take any number that is desired. Come out and help to save the women and children of the race and demonstrate to the world that we can be a people, and by the help of God we will be. BLIND BOONE, THE THE BLIND BOONE CO.

Mr. Daniel Green paid for the Rising Son. Mr. Long also paid up for the quarter, and we hope others will do likewise. The Rising Son is the only negro paper ever read in this city for six years. There are others that spring up like a mushroom and are soon gone. Every family ought to read the Son because it is a paper of the race and for the upbuilding of the race. Mr. and Mrs. Webb's daughter are now in Chicago visiting her uncle and other relatives and friends. INDEPENDENCE NEWS A gospel tent meeting will be held here under the auspices of the A. M. E. and M.

What is considered one of the most promising and remunerative enterprises carried on by a business man of color is the massage parlors and bath house owned and conducted by W. A. Doxey and wife at Excelsior Springs, Mo. Mr. Doxey is high up in the art of Massage treatment as well as his estimable wife. Mr. Doxey has devoted years to his art, employing the Swedish movement, during which time thousands in quest of health at the noted Springs resort have availed themselves of the efficient treatment at Mr. Doxey's establishment. The fact that Mr. Doxey has been exceptionally successful in this profession has been due to untiring extension to business. Mr. Doxey is having an elegant new brick building erected which is about completed and which he hopes to move into within ten days. He has made a large purchase of up-to-date furniture at Kansas City for his new establishment. The Negro race ought to have more Doxeys. M. S. S. MRS. W. A. DOXEY, The Amiable Wife of W. A.

Free-Trade Newspaper of To-Day Was at That Time Strongly in Favor of Legislating for the Best Interests of Our Own People. --- Curious relies of the past, when sane and sound Americanism characterized the columns of a newspaper which in recent years has turned much of its talents and energies in a contrary direction, are found in the files of the Springfield Republican of nearly fifty years ago. In the edition of that paper of the date of Jan. 12, 1855, appears an editorial on "The Tariff," which shows the then editor, Samuel Bowles, senior, as one of the ablest and clearest sighted protectionists of that period. No one has ever presented more effective argument in favor of the policy which looks after our own country and our own people and leaves foreigners to look after themselves than is contained in this urgent appeal to congress to lose no time in enacting a strictly protective tariff. Business conditions in 1855 were similar to those which prevailed forty years later under a Democratic free-trade tariff. Franklin Pierce, a New England free-trader, was president of the United States. Free-trade was the order of the day, and the customary free-trade conditions prevailed. With a tariff for revenue only in full force, revenue was falling off at the rate of $200,000 a month. Said the Springfield Republican of that period: "Away with merely revenue tariff! They are destroying American independence. They are transplanting our workshops to Europe. They are carrying off our gold as fast as it can be dug in California. They are obliding us to wear German and French broadcloths by forbidding the manufacture of American. They are shutting up factories, reducing the rates of labor, imminorizing the country. Away with them!" That is exactly what a Democratic tariff was doing in 1895, forty years later. In the winter of 1855, as the Republican narrates, the unemployed laborers of New York to the number of 60,000 men, 50,000 women and 10,000 TRYING TO RAISI DEMOCRACY children, were holding mass meetings and petitioning the city government for work on city improvements, and were threatening anarchy unless their wants should be in some way provided for. In Boston the souhouse system was in full blast, excepting on Sundays, when the unemployed had to go bungey. Regular Democratic tariff times! The Springfield Republican demanded a return to protection as a means of allaying distress and restoring prosperity, just as the Republican newspapers were doing in 1896, after three years of free-trade domination. The Springfield paper appealed for: "Preference for American labor, for American goods, for American men, ever the labor, the goods and the men of other countries." Precisely what the protectionists of to-day are insisting upon. Forty eight years ago the Springfield Republican was saying: "Free-trade is correct in theory and correct in practice, if we are legislating for the benefit of the whole world. But if we are to legislate for America, let us legislate for Americans by protecting their interests and their labor against the interests of the uneducated and impoverished labor of Europe." To-day the Springfield Republican is diametrically opposed to the doctrine which it so ably advocated In 1855. Either it was wrong then or it is wrong now. It could not have been wrong in 1855, judging from the terrible conditions of want and ruin which then existed as the direct result of legislating for the benefit of foreigners. Is there any more reason now than there was then why we should legislate against our own people and in favor of foreigners? Is there any reason to suppose that the conditions of 1855 and 1855 would not return if we should abandon protection and invite the competition of the under-paid labor in Europe? They certainly would and must return in such an event, the only difference being that the damage and loss would now be ten times greater because the aggregate of labor and production is now ten times greater. Having climbed so high, we should fall so much further. It would seem that all that was needed to reconvert the Springfield Republican to protectionism would be a perusal of its own files of forty-eight years ago --- UNWISE POLICY. Republicans Should Not Side With Democrats. There is no substantial reason to be advanced why Republicans of either state should attempt to play into the hands of their political enemies by changing front on the tariff question. The tariff law as it stands is admitted a good measure. If the whole question were reopened it is more that doubtful whether any better law could be framed; and to reopen the tariff question in part is to reopen it in whole. If imperfections exist in the law as it stands there has been a distinct lack of any specific pointing out of those defects. When it is positively shown that some injury is worked through them it will be time enough to proceed to remedy those defects; either by raising duties if they have proved too low or towering them if they have proved too high. In the meantime and until some defects do appear and are specifically pointed out, it is decidedly advisable both from the standpoint of politics and from regard for the interests of the country, to let the tariff alone and to refrain from adding the Democratic campaign for revision. The Republican party does not have to apologize for the Dingley law, its workings or its results. Considering the present condition of business in the United States, the development of industry, the growth of our domestic and our foreign trade and the splen did financial condition of the treasury all due in great measure at least to the present tariff law, it is difficult to see why any Republican should favor tampering with that law in the direction which the Democrats desire to see it amended. As a matter of fact there are very few Republicans who do want to see it tampered with, even in Iowa as the Republican convention there has just shown.—Seattle Post-Intelli gencer. --- Protection Wins by 320 Per Cent Protection Wins by 300 Per Cent. The product of pig iron in this country the present year will exceed twenty million tons. That of Great Britain and Germany combined will be considerably below this; and the pre-eminence of the United States in iron and steel is growing more pronounced year by year, under the influence of the bengn policy of protection, which the E A DEAD ISSUE. EETRADE 1884-8-92 Republican party has conferred upon the country. Our present rate of production is a remarkable contrast to the production in this country nine years ago, the "boss" Cleveland year when the pig iron produced in the United States was but 6,757,248 tons, or about one-third of the present rate. In that year Great Britain's production considerably exceeded ours, while Geumany's didn't lag far behind. The showing is a remarkable object lesser in the comparative advantages to the country of free-trade vs. protection and protection wins by three hundred per cent.—Salt Lake Tribune. iowa's Free-Trade Radicals. The tariff plank of the Iowa Democrats is sufficiently radical to please the Cleveland contingent, for it not only calls for a removal of the tariff from all trust-made goods, but it declares that all tariff schedules should be adjusted with a view to tariff for revenue-only. This proposition, it is to be hope, will be as squarely me by the national Democratic convention, since it raises the issue between the British free-trade policy, which Colonial Britain is giving evidence of being tired of, and the American economic programme, which has been embodied in the most successful in dustrial experience ever shared by any nation in human history.—Boston Journal. No Assault on the Tariff The convention of 1904 will make new demand for any tariff revision. It will suit the Republicans to make a fight on the tariff if the Democrats can be invigued into assailing the protective policy next year. The chances are however, that Gorman and the rest of the shrewd leaders of the Democracy will prevent their party from making any assault on the tariff that can arouse Republican opposition. — St Louis Globe-Democrat. A Sure Cure. Says the Chicago Record-Herald: "The only cure for the surplus is a revision of the tariff." Very true indeed. Tariff revision downward has never failed to cure a surplus either in the national treasury or in the pockets of the people. As a surplus curer tariff revision belongs in the category of "death on rats" ESCAPED CONVICTS ELUDE PURSUERS IN WOODED CALIFORNIA COUNTRY Eight of the prisoners who escaped from the Folsom (Cal.) penitentiary are still at large. Two have been recaptured, both badly wounded, and three were killed in battle with the militia and the sheriff's posse. Two militiamen have been killed and one member of a posse fatally wounded. The country through which the convicts are making their way is unsettled and thickly wooded, and it is the opinion of good authorities that the desperadogs will never be recaptured unless forced to surrender through hunger. They are plentifully supplied with ammunition. The accompanying map shows the route taken by the convicts since their escape, and the scene of the battle. CAVES PROVE MINE OF BONES. Explorers Find Remains of Extinct Animals in Shasta County, Cal. Several important discoveries of interest to science have been made in the caves of Shasta county, California, by the party of explorers conducted by Prof. John C. Merriman of the geological department of the University of California. Two new caves were discovered, which proved very rich in paleontological remains, yielding up bones of animals now extinct and of a species hitherto unknown to scientists. Bones of mountain lions, bison, wolf, porcupine, cave bear and ground sloth were found, together with all the bones of the extinct porcupine, and also an almost complete specimen of small cave bear. In one of these caves an old tradition had it that an Indian woman wancering about had stumbled into a well, the bottom of which could never be reached. This well was explored, and at the bottom they found the skeleton of a woman fairly well preserved, whom they judged to have fallen or been thrown into the well about one hundred years ago. Butlers Make Much Money. Some surprise was expressed recently in England when Lord Ravenscourt's butler died, leaving an estate valued at $150,000, but investigation shows that this is by no means a unique case. Men in his position receive good salaries, and speaking roughly a good butler may count on twice his salary in tips. A London weekly speaks of a conservative M. P. (name not given) who in years gone by was Lord Salisbury's butler. The money he saved was invested in a hotel, which he conducted successfully for fifteen years and then sold at an enormous profit. No inconsiderable portion of a butler's income is the commissions paid by tradesmen. Against Gambling at Saratoga. Much curiosity is expressed among visitors to Saratoga as to how William C. Whitney and his race track partners induced Canfield, the noted gambler, to voluntarily close his establishment at the watering place. Canfield is said to have cleared $180,000 at his tables last summer, and there is a discredited rumor that he is to get a percentage of the race track profits. Whitney is quite hostile to gambling at Saratoga, except in the betting ring at the track. He fears that stories of heavy play at Canfield's will get into the newspapers and so taint the good name of Saratoga that lovers of the horse will refuse to go there. BELL HAS KITE AIRSHIP. Langley Will Associate with Professor in Experiments. Prof. Alexander Graham Bell declares that in a few days he hopes he will make an experiment which he hopes will place the feasibility of the airship beyond peradventure. Prof. S. P. Langley of the Smithsonian institution at Washington will be associated with Prof. Bell in the conduct of the experiment. Dr. Bell's work has been almost altogether with kites. He has abandoned the use of silk in the construction of his machines and has taken a lighter and stronger material, which resembles silk in its texture. Thus far he has succeeded in having his kite remain stationary in the air and has himself rigen in one of the airships. In the experiments in which Prof. Langley will be associated with Dr. Bell the object will be to seek to obtain full control of the machine. ANDREW CARNEGIE'S BIG GIFT Dunfermline, Scotland, Is Given $2, 500,000 in Steel Stock. In handing over to fifteen representative citizens of his native town, Dunfermline, Scotland, who were his guests at Skibo castle, a trust deed transferring to them $2,500,000 in 5 per cent bonds of the United States Steel corporation and Pittencrieff park Andrew Carnegie explained the objects he had in view in these words: "It is an experiment the object of which is to attempt to introduce into the monotonous lives of the toiling masses of Dunfermline more of sweetness and light, to give them, especially the young, some charm, some elevating conditions of life which their residence elsewhere would have dented, so that a child in his native town will feel, however far he may have roamed, that simply by virtue of being such his life has been made happier and better." Romance in Senatorship A romance extending over a quarter of a century came to a happy climax when Weldon Brinton Heyburn, United States Senator from Idaho, recently married Miss Yeatman of Chester county, Pennsylvania. Years ago young Heyburn met Miss Yeatman, like himself, a Pennsylvanian of Quaker ancestry, and they became friends. In 1884 the young lawyer went West and settled in Idaho. He became a leader of the bar, acquiring wealth, and last winter became United States Senator, but he did not forget the Quaker girl. Last week he went east and claimed his bride. Drowned After Rescuing Mother After rescuing his mother from drowning in the surf at Coney Island, New York, Frank Masters, an expert swimmer from Brooklyn, lost his life in the undertow. There was a heavy sea breaking on the beach when Mrs. Masters, a fairly good swimmer, became exhausted, and Frank rushed to her rescue. He swam with his mother to the beach and then entered the water again. After a dive he failed to reappear, and the frantic mother, aided by the guards, found his body an hour later, half a mile away, thrown back on the beach by the tide. Mrs. Goelet's Gentle Rebuke Mrs. Ogden Goelet, though a very wealthy woman, is much averse to extravagance and positively shudders at anything that savors of ostentation. Not long ago she gently reproved a rich young girl friend on account of an expenditure that was both silly and huge. The girl answered airily: "Yes, I suppose it is extravagant, but then I can well afford it." Quoth Mrs. Goelet: "Reasoning by analogy, would I be justified in supposing that you would excuse your cook for oversulting your omelet because salt is cheap?" Ferdinand of Bulgaria Detested by His Subjects. European dispatches declare that prince Ferdinand, who now occupies the somewhat shaky throne of Bulgaria, fears that he may share the fate of King Alexander and Queen Draga of Servia. There is some reasonable ground for this apprehension, for Prince Ferdinand is perhaps the most unpopular ruler in Europe. When abroad in the streets of Sofia he passes unsaluted and unnoticed. This so annoyed him on one occasion that he said to a group of workman who had scarcely glanced at him: "Why do you not salute me?" For a moment the men made no reply. Then one of them answered: "If you wish it we will salute you," and they did, most ceremoniously, but ironically. He once said, in referring to his subjects: "I can do anything with such cannaille." This remark became public and is still remembered with bitterness by Bulgarians. SPUNKY GIRL TREES FLIRT. With Aid of Pet Bulldog She Keeps Annoyer Aloft for Two Hours. For two hours pretty Elsie Hoagland of Forest City, Pa., with the aid of a bulldog, kept a flirt treed, while a large crowd, attracted by the unusual spectacle, looked on, applauded the girl and "joshed" her victim. The latter was James Manley, a lineman, who was at work on a telegraph pole near the home of Miss Hoagland, when he espied her at the window. Humming "Elsie of Chelsea, a Sweet Little Girl," the lineman made desperate efforts at a conquest. Tiring of his persistence, Miss Hoagland waited until he prepared to move toward the ground, then, with her bulldog, took a position near the foot of the pole. "Tige" obeyed her commands to "watch him," and for two hours Manley pleaded and begged pardons before he was forgiven. Miss Hoagland now is a heroine in Forest City. DUTY OF RAILROAD COMPANY North Carolina Court Hands Down Important Decision The supreme court of North Carolina has affirmed the judgment of the lower court awarding Henry F. Seawell $4,500 for beirng struck by fifteen bad eggs while upon the premises of the Seaboara Air Line Railway company during the campaign of 1900. Mr. Seawell was then the populist candidate for attorney general, and was to speak to the people of Shelby. Arriving there he was told by a delegation of citizens that they did not wish to hear him. He decided not to speak, and while waiting to take the train a mob of his opponents pelted him with erys, being sided and abated by the station agent. The court held that a common carrier is not only bound not to assault and maltreat an intended passenger, but after he has gone upon its premises it should protect him from indignity, assault and battery. Has Learned American Methods Has Learned American Methods. One of the coming men in the English engineering world is undoubtedly Cecil Paget, who has just been appointed manager of the Midland railway locomotive shops at Derby. Mr. Paget, who is son and heir of Sir Ernest Paget, bart, chairman of the Midland Railway company, learned his profession in Derby works, but he has also visited America several times to study the methods in vogue here, which will almost certainly influence the policy he will now adopt. Mr. Paget, who is barely 30 years of age, will have under his direction about 4,000 men. Official Baggage. The English railways are about to devise a plan by which the loss of baggage in transit may be reduced to a minimum. In England there has hitherto been no adequate system of registering baggage, so that if the piece is stolen and replaced by another the loss is not discovered until the owner attempts to identify what he does not recognize. In the first quarter of the present year the French railway companies paid no less than 9,000 francs as reimbursement to clients from whom packages had been stolen. A Fire Brigade of Women The town of Armidale, New South Wales, has a women's fire brigade that has earned distinction in numerous encounters with the flames. A dozen or more young women form the brigade, electing one of their number as captain. They drill with the town brigade appliances, and are capable of rendering assistance to the male firemen when necessary. They are expert in rescue work with the life-line and the jumping-sheet. SONG BROUGHT THE CASH. Constant Réminder Too Much for Impecuous Young Man. The clever feminine manager of a laundry on Greenwich avenue is telling with great glee of the methods she pursued in order to induce an impecuous customer to "pay up" a long-standing account. She trained her employees to chant in unison, every time the young man hove in sight, a little ditty, commencing "We are washing and waiting for thee!" The third time they raised their voices in the song he planked down $3 and said, feverishly, "For heaven's sake, tell 'em to shut up!"—New York Times. South American Metropolis South American Metropolis Buenos Ayres, the capital of the Argentine Republic, says a writer in St. Nicholas, is the largest city in South America. It is also the largest city in the southern hemisphere south of Philadelphia. It is, moreover, the largest Spanish-speaking city in the world. Its population probably exceeds 900,000, and is increasing rapidly. Two Incurable Grazee One of the ways to get into swell society is to butt in through the turf or the tanbark—the race track or the horse show. A certain well-known man has already spent $500,000 on the tanbark, without penetrating the outer cuticle of the haut monde, and when he has spent another $500,000 he will still be butting. There are two crazes which cannot be cured—the craze for society and the craze for political office.—New York Press. "Are You Ready? Go!" Mrs. John Peters was the mother of a family of restless children, and she found difficulty in reducing them to quiet when the moment came for asking a blessing at the table. So her course of procedure was something in this fasion: "Alice, be still! Eddie, not another word! Maud, don't you see your father is waiting? There—now, John; NOW!" Barbers Necessary. According to a Dublin scientist, who has spent considerable time in making the necessary calculations, a man's beard grows on an average about three millimetres a week. At this rate it would increase about sixteen centimetres every year, and thus, at the age of eight-four, a man who had never shaved would be equipped with a beard about twenty-seven feet in length.

Canst thou by settling away the day, From sleeping in the arms of night, Or make one sunbeam longer stay, Or bring one clouded star in sight? Thou canst not keep life's pain away, From the soul deserts thine own. But thou canst trust each sorrow may. Bring blossoms where thorns might have grown; Now rest, my heart! Now rest, my heart! Two angels wait to give thee peace; Remembrance with past blessings brings Assurance that good will not cause; Forgetfulness hath healing wings. These will thy true companions be, And hearts with burdens more than thins May feel the love that shelters thee, And seek the rest that divine; Then rest, my heart! —Myra Goodwin Plantz. THE NIGHT RUN OF THE OVERLAND By ELMORE ELLIOTT PEAKE. IN THREE PARTS. PART 3. Copyright by Metlure, Phillips & Co. "I am going to let her have her head!" she cried out, in her distress. The fireman did not answer—perhaps he did not hear—and, setting her teeth, Sylvia assumed the grim burden alone. The ponderous locomotive fell over the brow of the hill, with her throttle agape, and the fire seething in her vitals with volcanic fury. It seemed to Sylvia as though they dropped down the grade as an aeroclite drops from heaven—silent, irresistible, awful, touched only by the circumambient air. All Sylvia's familiar methods of gauging speed were now at fault, but she believed that for the moment they were running two miles to every minute. Under the strange lassitude born of her deadly peril, she relaxed her tense muscles and drowsily closed her eyes. She was rudely shaken out of her lethargy as the train struck a slight curve half way down the grade. The locomotive shiled like a frightened steed, and shook in every iron muscle. The flanges shrieked against the rails, the cab swayed and cracked. For a moment the startled girl was sure they were upon the ties. But it was only the terrible momentum lifting them momentarily from the track and in a few seconds, the fire-cating behemoth righted itself. Yet its beautiful equilibrium was gone; and the engine rolled and pitched, and rose and fell, like a water-logged vessel in a storm. The bell, catching the motion began to toll. The young fireman suddenly sprang to the floor of the cab with a face torn by superstitious fear. "What if she leaves the rails!" he cried. But instantly recovering himself he sprang back to his seat, with the blood of shame upon his cheeks. "Am I running too fast?" shouted Sylvia. "Not when we're behind time!" he doggedly shouted back. As the track became smoother the engine grew calmer, but its barred tongue licked up the flying space for many a mile before the momentum of that perilous descent was last. As the rear of their passage over the long bridge spanning the Mattunk, twenty miles from Stockton, died away, the fireman called out, cheerily: "On time. madam!" Meanwhile in the superintendent's private car, at the extreme rear of the train, a party of men still sat up, smoking their Havanas and sipping their wine. One member of this party was the "big gun," the president of the Mississippi Valley, Omaha and Western Railway. He was a large man, with luxuriant, snow white hair, and though his face was benevolent, even paternal, every line of it betrayed the inflexible will which had lifted its owner from the roof of a freight car to the presidential chair of a great road. Mr. Howard, the general superintendent, was regaling the party with an account of his experience in securing a substitute engineer at Valley Junction. For reasons afterward "What if she leaves the rails!" divulged he suppressed though, the most startling feature of his story; namely, the sex of the engine runner he had secured. But he compensated his hearers for this omission with a most dramatic account of the heroism of the sick man, whom he unblushingly represented as having risen from his bed and taken charge of the engine. Mr. Stanford, the distinguished guest, listened quietly until Howard was done. "Charlie, you are a heartless wretch," he observed, smiling. The party dropped off to bed, one by one. The general superintendent himself finally rose and looked at his watch. Three cars ahead he met the conductor, who also seemed a little nervous, and they talked together for some moments. The train, at the time, was snapping around the chopper curves in the Tallahula Hills, and A Began to cry in a choked, pitiful way, the two men had difficulty in keeping their feet. "Fast, but not too fast, Dackins, observed the superintendent, half in- quiringly. "What I call a high safety," answered the conductor. "But fearful in the cab, eh?" "Nothing equal to it, sir," rejoined Dackins, dryly. Howard started back toward the private car about the time the train struck Beechtree Hill. When he got back to his car he found Mr. Stanford still up, smoking and leaning back in his luxurious seat, with half-closed eyes. Stanford motioned Howard to sit down close beside him. "Confound you, Charlie, you've got that sick engineer on my heart, with your inflammatory descriptions. Confess, now, that you exaggerated matters a little." The superintendent chuckled. "Well, I did in one respect; but in another I fell short." He paused for effect, and then continued exultingly: "Stanford, I've got the best railroad story to give the papers that has been brought out in years." "Let's have it," said Stanford, smiling. "Well, between you and me, that man Fox was a mighty sick man—too sick to hold his head up, in fact." Howard paused inquiringly as Stanford turned sharply and gave him a glance. "Fox, did you say?" asked Stanford. "What's his first name?" "I don't know; he's a tall, smooth-faced man, with dark hair and eyes. Rather intelligent looking. He's a comparatively new man with us." The old man's fingers trembled slightly as he flicked the ashes from his cigar. "I don't know that I know him," he answered. "Well," continued the superintendent, with a mildly curious glance at his companion, "he was altogether too sick to pull a plug. But it seems that his wife has been in the habit of riding with him, and knows the road and an engine as well as he does. To come to the point—and this is my story—the Overland at this moment is in the hands of a girl, sir—Fox's wife!" It seemed a long time before either man spoke again. Howard stared in blank amazement at the pallid face of the president, unable to understand. Then Stanford took the other's hand and held it in an iron grip. "Charlie, it's my own little baby girl!" he said, huskily. The operator at Valley Junction had flashed the news along the wire and up when the Overland steamed up to the Union depot in Stockton, twenty seconds ahead of time, a curious and enthusiastic throng of lay-over passengers and railroad men pressed around the engine. When Sylvia appeared in the gangway, her glorious sun kissed hair glistening with melted snow, and her pale face streaked with soot, the generous crowd burst into yells of applause. The husky old veteran runner who was to take the girl's place stepped forward and lifted Sylvia down. For a moment she reeled. Then she saw pushing unceremoniously through the throng the general superintendent—she started and looked again—her father! When President Staniford, struggling to control his emotion, clasped his daughter to his bosom her over-strained nerves gave way and, laying her head wearily upon his shoulder and with her hands upon his neck, she began to cry in a choked, pitiful little way. "Oh, papa, call me your dear little red-head once more!" she sobbed. WHY HER DANCING DRAGGED. Young Lady Had Forgotten to Remove Her Rubbers. A young man who was born on a ranch, and who, while getting his education in the East, has turned westward again every summer, and has thus maintained a fine, strong physique, recently danced with a young woman of some two hundred pounds in a village not far west of Rahway. He noticed that the dancing was uphill work, and, when it was over, sank into a chair in the incipient stages of exhaustion. The young woman looked thoughtfully across the shining surface of the floor and threw a glance of investigation at the corner where the punchbowl stood. "Doesn't it strike you that the floor is very sticky to night?" she inquired. The young man gallantly denied thinking so. "It seems so to me," the young woman observed. Then she looked down at her foot, protruding from a silken flounce, and exclaimed: "Why! I've got my rubbers on!"— New York Evening Post. ALL DOUBTS CLEARED UP. Applicant's Command of Epithets Pre-claimed Him a Sailor. As is generally known, "seamen's return" tickets are issued by most railways at seaport towns to sailors at reduced rates; but when, the other day, a somewhat stylishly-dressed young man demanded one to Birmingham, the booking-clerk at the Southern seaport town demurred. "Seamen's returns are only issued to sailors," he snapped. "Well, I'm a sailor," was the reply. "I have only your word for that," said the clerk. "How am I to know it is correct?" "How are you to know it?" came the answer. "Why, you leather-necked, swivel-eyed son of a sea-cook, if you feel my starboard boom running foul of your headlights, you'll know I've been doing more than sit on a stool and bleating all my life, and you'll haul in on your jaw-tackle a bit." The stationmaster had been standing near by. "Give him a ticket," he said; "he's a sailor."—London Answers. Swinburne and the Baby. Algenon Charles Swinburne, according to the statement of one of his American friends, made a systematic study of babies before he wrote his admirable rondels upon babyhood. Mr. Swinburne, who is a bachelor, one day went on tiptoe to the nursery of a friend's house and bent in reverie over the infant that slept there. As he regarded it the slumbering infant smiled, and in contemplation of this seraphic smile the poet's heart was filled with joy and awe. But a voice—the voice of the nurse—interrupted his ectasy. "It's the wind, bless its heart," the nurse whispered. "Whenever they smile in their sleep, sir, you may always know they're troubled with the wind." Mr Swinburne scowled and with drew. On account of the nurse's remark he never wrote a poem on the subject of a baby's dreams.—Kansas City Journal. Cured Without the Bear. Old Henry was a stickler for antiquated customs and luck-lore. He was Mrs. Newrich's gardener, and she bade him transplant some parsley. It was not parsley planting season, however, so there was war between her will and his superstition. His superstition prevailed and with a little careless laugh, lifting her pretty silk skirts high, she tripped back to the cottage. Later in the afternoon she explained to some callers old Henry's eccentricities. "And just think," she continued, "he said to me once, with a note of interrogation in his voice, that he had 'heard say' the whooping cough was never taken by a child who had ridden upon a bear! "Of course," she added, "Mr. Newrich wanted to move heaven and earth to get the bear, but I wouldn't hear to it, and baby got well of the whooping cough without it." The Dangerous Drama. Charles Frohman is laughing over the naive of a woman friend whose young daughter wanted to see "a beautiful play, with lots of ginger in it." "I'd rather you didn't attend the theater just yet, dear," said the mother. "I'm afraid the influence of some of the present plays is demoralizing. What is this particular one?" "It's very exciting, the boy next door told me; it's a sort of Buffalo Bill play, full of fights, and gambling and murders, and things." "Oh, that's all right, then," was the reply, in a measured tone, "I'll send one of the mails with you. I feared it might be a society dramg!"—New York Times Things Quaint and Curious Gathered Here and There A BIOGRAPHY OF ADAM. Some Facts in the Life of Our Universal Father. Celebrated as the original father of his country. Also noted as the discoverer of sin. In his day the genuine "only thing that ever happened." Only man that ever told the truth when he told his best girl she was the "only girl he ever even thought of." Owing to irregularities, which he was mean enough to blame on his wife. Adam was relieved of his job as head gardener in Eden. He married well, his wife being the "first lady of the land." At one time he held the record for old age—being 960. This record was afterward smashed by Methuselah and Noah. It repudiated as an ancestor by most of our first families, as that would entail the acknowledgement of too many poor relations. Was the first father who ever had trouble with his sons, but not the last—Boston Globe. Machine to Sew Up Wounds. A wound-stitching machine is the invention of a doctor named Michel. It works very much more rapidly than the old method of stitching by hand, is painless and effective. It consists of a case, or sheath, holding a number of nickel hooks, or bands, like those used for the corners of card-board boxes. They are put in position with a pair of forceps and can be adjusted at the rate of 25 a minute. Their rounded points do not penetrate the lower layer of the skin, but only the epidermis and therefore the pain caused by them is very slight. They have the additional advantage of being very easily disinfected.—Stray Stories. These were the styles in 1803. A young man, riding on a street car in the Boulevard Haussmann, Paris, noticed a friend passing along in a cab a few feet beneath him. As the cab came alongside the car his friend yawned, and the young man, for a joke, tossed down a good-sized walnut, which fell squarely into his friends throat. Immediately the latter's body writhed in pain, his face grew purple and his hands wildly clutched the air. He was cloking to death, the nut having lodged far down his throat. Cab and car were stopped, and the nearest doctor summoned. But it was too late, and the victim died in a few minutes. The perplexter of the grim "joke" has been asked to hold himself at the disposal of justice. Deer Pastures With Cows Lorenzo A. Manning has a large pasture in Templeton, Mass., in which he has a number of cattle. A few days ago he sent John A. Braithwaite up to get one of the cows, telling him how many were in the pasture. Mr. Braithwaite began to count the cows, but count as often as he might, there was one more than the specified number. He went up nearer and discovered that the extra cow was a large deer, which stood around with the cattle while he caught the cow, without the slightest symptoms of fear. Drinks No Water. John L. Rosso, of New Brunswick, U. J., has not had a drink of water since 1862. For the past forty years he has drank nothing but whiskey, wine and beer, always in moderation. Mr. Rosso is now 78 years old, is strong and robust, and says that he has never been ill a day in his life. He has forgotten the taste of water. Relic of Pioneer Days.

All in Montana Graveyard Died "With Their Boots On." Near Billings, Mont., is an old-time cemetery which contains but fifty-two bodies, yet the cemetery is a remarkable one, in that every person buried there died with "his boots on." The graveyard is an old one, and the memory of it almost passed from the memory of the rising generation. It is one of the pioneer institutions of the state, and to the minds of the old-timers brings many recollections. There is not a headstone in the cemetery; if there were any they were wood and have gone the way of all the world. It is doubtful even whether any of the bodies buried there were encased in coffins Montana was a territory when this cemetery was started; the originator of the place was a gambler known throughout the West as "One-Arm Bill," who conducted several games in the little town that at the time occupied the site near here. "One-Arm Bill" is believed to have been the originator of the expression "private graveyard," and it is certain that he did his best to increase the population of his. Of the fifty-two men buried there old-timers claim that more than half were slain by Bill, who was noted as a dead shot. The rest of the occupants of the little city of the dead were men who were killed in brawls and by accidents—men who died literally with their boots on. The existence of this old burial ground had almost been forgotten until yesterday, when human bones GOING THERE WITH HIS BOOTS ON. were uncarved by a man who was putting in the foundation for a house he intended building. A pioneer was in the office when the coroner made an examination of the relics, and he explained how all the bodies came to be buried there. KILLING ANTS WITH CANNON. Artillery Used to Crush Minute Enemies of Mankind. Artillery charged with grapehot has been employed to destroy great fortresses which the termites, or warrior ants, have made in many tropical countries. In South Africa the termites work enormous havoc. They live in a republic of their own, and some of them have wings. The workmen, the soldiers and the queen, however, have none. The workmen construct their buildings, the soldiers defend the colony and keep order, and the females, or queens, are cared for by all the others. These be in point of fact, mere egg laying machines which have to remain tied to one spot. Their nesting homes are often twenty feet high and pyramidal in shape. Cattle club upon them without crushing them. A dozen men can find shelter in some of their chambers and native hunters often lie in wait inside of them when out after wild animals. The nests construct galleries which are as wide as the bore of a large cannon and which runs three or four feet underground. The nests are said to be five hundred times as high as the ants' body, and it has been estimated that if we built our houses on the same scale they would be four times as high as the pyramids of Egypt.

With the great number of office buildings which are going up constantly there arises a demand for some means of scrubbing their enormous floor areas superior to the oldtime scrubbing brush. With this in ```markdown ``` view there has been recently devised the scrubbing brush shown in the cut, which has not only the advantage of covering a great deal of floor space as it moves along, but the action of its bristles on the floor is increased as a rotary motion is imparted to it as well as the back and toth motion. This feature is said to decrease the labor of scrubbing by half. Another advantage is that it does its work without the necessity of bring the operator onto his or her hands and knees. The scrubbing brush has two long handles, one of which is held in each of the operator's hands. The handles are pivoted to a post on top of the brush head, and by means of a rack and pinion arrangement carried on the upper part of the brush head the brush is given a rotary motion as the handles are moved toward and away from each other. At the same time the brush is given the usual forward and backward motion. This device has been invented by a resident of the Far Northwest, and has been tried on some of the office buildings of Tacoma and Vancouver, and, it is said, performs its functions with ease. Cable.

If that sentence is served out in a Paris gaol the civil court may further imprison him for residing in the city. If he is sent to a country prison the military will prosecute him.

LEWIS WOODS.....Business Manager. Published Every Week RISING SON PUBLISHING CO SUBSCRIPTION RATES: OLDEST NEGRO JOURNAL . . . IN KANSAS CITY, The paid circulation of THE RISING SON is more than double the combined circulation of all the other Kansas City Golored weekly newspapers. Kansas City, Mo., March 3, 1903. Office of the Postmaster, Publishers, Rising Son. In response to your inquiry, I beg to say your publication is duly entered as second class matter at this office and regularly mailed. Very respectfully, J. H. HARRIS, Postmaster. The Rising Son is the only paper published by Colored people in Kansas City, Mo., that is entered at the post office as second class mail. The question has been asked: "Which is he greater necessity, the raising of the teacher's salaries or the erection of one or two decent buildings for the Negro school children?" President Roosevelt's advice to the people on the question of mob violence and the brutal burning of Negroes should be upheld by all conscientious and liberty loving people of the United States. His idea upon the subject is right, fair and impartial. The Rev. Dr. Babbitt, a Christian gentleman of Brooklyn, N. Y., who believes that the majesty of the law of this country should be upheld by all true Americans, has answered Mr. Graves of Georgia by saying: "Lynchers are brutal, savage murderers." He assumes that more morality, less prejudice, stricter law quickly applied, fair play to the negro and the white man alike would reduce the danger of the race question and the mob problem. Another good man, thank God. "Be sure that our sins will find us out." A few days ago Sheriff Mendenhall of Wyandotte county, Kas., went to Muscopee, I. T., and brought back to Kansas City, Kas., one Henry P. Ewing, who at one time was the Manager of the Kansas City Embalming and Casket Company. He is charged with embezzling $100 from a poor widow woman, in the person of Mrs. Mollie Julias, whose residence is on Freeman street near Ninth street. We are informed that there are many more similar charges against this man. He has long been known as "Tatoe" King of the Kaw Valley. A MONUMENT TO DRED SCOTT. Would it not be a nice tribute to the memory of Dred Scott, the man who, in the dark days of slavery, had the force of character, and who dared to attempt to force his own rights to American manhood in the courts of the United States. It was he who appealed his case to the Supreme Court of the United States and forced the issue on that tribunal, whether the colored man had any rights in this country that the slave master was bound to respect. The court in chambers in the person of its chief justice promptly answered the question and said no. That the Negro had no rights in this country, that a white man was bound to respect, that Scott was a slave, and as such no rights, though in a free US, to sue in one of the courts of the United States for his freedom. Scott was a Missouriian and it would be a fitting tribute to place a monument on one of the public squares of St. Louis where he once lived and was held as a human chattel. Will the colored press and school teachers of Missouri take this matter up from a race standpoint? CATHOLICS AGAINST MOB LAW. Resolutions Adopted by the Federation of Societies in Atlantic City. Atlantic City, N. J., August 5.—Several important resolutions were adopted by the American Federation of Catholic Societies at the closing session to-day, after which officers were elected. The next meeting will be held in St. Louis. The first resolution condemned feud riots and mob law as unworthy of civilized people. Lynching is regarded as murder, and the burning and torture of people, even when declared guilty, is barbarous and a menace to the peace and security of all good citizens. All Catholics were enjoined to exert an influence to spread in their community sound opinions against such savagery. Colonel Milton Moore, of the School Board, says that the Board of Education is spending the funds realized from the bond measure too fast and that it must call a halt. The Negro school patrons and taxpayers have said, one to the other: "I wonder if the School Board is going to spend the entire million dollars realized from the recent bond elections without fulfilling a single one of the many promises it made the Negroes when their votes in favor of the measure were asked for. Yes, they were promised a manual training school and ought to have it. They were promised better school-houses and ought to have them. The Son can point out several Negro school-houses that are not as good as an ordinary barn. But the negroes are powerless and must rely upon the integrity and honor of the members of the board. THEODORE SMITH The only pharmacy in this city owned and conducted by a colored man is that of Theodore Smith, Pharmaceutical Doctor, at 908 East Twelfth street. Dr. Smith is a graduate of Howard university and is registered in three states. He employs three clerks who are also registered. His business consists largely of filling prescriptions which come to him personally or by 'phone from the ten colored physicians of the city. An errand boy is employed whose principal duties are to deliver these prescriptions to all parts of the city. The store is well supplied with all that goes to make up a first-class drug store, including a soda fountain in charge of a clerk whose sole duty is to wait upon the thirsty public. Inquiry has developed the fact that the business is rapidly increasing and is prosperous. The commercial agents speak well of the proprietor and rate him as a substantial business man in good credit and standing at bank and with the trade.—Kansas City World. The most amusing thing that has occurred in Missouri politics in a long time was the so-called Negro State Republican League held in Springfield last week. No city, county or place was represented at the meeting (?), except Kansas City and only three or four went from this city, and what their standing politically is, it is hard to conjecture. These three men, Silas Harris, J. W. Baldwin and T. W. H. Williams, go to Springfield and meet as a Republican league, and elect themselves, and Leon Jordan, also of this city, to fill all four of the offices and call it a State League of Colored Republicans of Missouri. Think of it, Colored Republicans meeting and representing our grand old party, and endorsing men for the Republican party to support. Only last fall one of these men, Silas Morris, not only fought our splendid county and congressional ticket, but issued a signed statement urging our people to support the Democratic ticket. Of course he did it for boodle, just as the meeting at Springfield was held. Such schemes are demoralizing to our race, and the Rising Son, which is always for the Republican ticket, repudiates them once for WANTED—SEVERAL PERSONS of character an good reputation in each state (one in this county required) to represent and advertise an old established wealthy business house of solid financial standing.

Irrigation Works. The government is to begin the construction of irrigation works in five localities. The Sweetwater dam, Wyoming; Milk River, Montana; the Gunison tunnel, Colorado; Truckee, Nevada, and Salt River, Arizona. The cost of the five plants is estimated as $7,000,000, and they are expected to furnish water for 600,000 acres. Export of Animal Products. The total value of the exports of animal products in 1902 was about $3,000,000 greater than the like exports of the previous year, but there was a decrease of nearly $8,000,000 in the value of cattle exported. This was due to the sharp demand for beef cattle in this country.

Sociable Kansas Tornadoes At Oakley the other day the people witnessed the spectacle of five tern-daws whirling along at the same time. They would dart their snakelike tails toward the ground, drawing them up to dart again, but only one reached the earth.

Girls With Ideas Girls have larger ideas now than they used to have, and look at things in general more broadly and tolerantly. Gossip is no longer the sole conversation that interests them, but they discuss intelligently and appreciate the different subjects of the day, and have their own ideas and opinions on most things. The training in sport has done much to bring this about.—Country Life. That Note Isn't New.

Congressional Institution, 108th Street, New York, N.Y. (Copyright, 1933, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) There had been an abundance of space on the through train from New York, so when after two days' stop at St. Augustine, Mabel Waring continued her journey toward Palm Beach she neglected her customary precaution of securing a seat in advance. So with the folds of her dainty traveling skirt held gingerly between her gloved fingers, Mabel Waring entered one of the common cars and moved down the rows of passengers until, near the far end, a girl made room for her. The man and woman in the seat opposite, and the woman ahead, might be like herself, without a choice in the matter. And that nice old man with the white hair, and the tall young man on the end seat who——. She dropped her gaze quickly and turned with heightened color to the girl at her side, who all this time had been watching and waiting with eager, wistful recognition in her eyes. "Ah, Miss Waring," she whispered, "I saw you on the platform, and was hoping I might get a chance to thank you for that delightful trip last summer. I haven't been able to see you since." "Why, yes, to be sure. How stupid of me," and in Mabel's expressive face was now a quick interest which atoned for her former lack of recognition. "I always liked your counter, for you seemed so interested in what I bought, and so anxious not to mislead." "Yes," and the girl's eyes sparkled at being so well remembered, "she married a Florida man and went to West Palm Beach. He keeps a store. I am going there now. You see, I'm not strong enough for the confinement of store work, so Bessie wrote for me to come and try to get the public school. One of her husband's customers is the trustee, and they seem to think I will have a good chance. No one has applied for the position yet." "That will be nice," Mabel declared, "so much better than store work, I think." One morning, a few days after reaching Palm Beach, Mabel took out her purse to tip a wafter, and was surprised to find how small an amount of money there was left. It was odd how money slipped away in a place like this. She must have another draft cashed at once. Her drafts were made in amounts of one hundred dollars each, for convenience; and were kept in a small leather case among her stationery. She opened the trunk and reached in confidently; then, as her hand did not come in contact with the case, raised the trunk-lid higher and made a more careful search. But the case did not reveal itself; and from the stationery she began a hurried examination of the entire contents of the trunk, and then went to another trunk, and another, and repeated the process. But it was no use, and at last she rose and went to a window which overlooked the sea, perplexed and annoyed. What had become of the drafts? She had cashed one at St. Augustine, she remembered, and then—why, yes, certainly, she had gone directly to her room from the office. Of course she had returned the case to its usual place. Had it been stolen? She made a quick gesture of dissent at the thought. No, she would not believe that. It was only her carelessness. But it was gone; that was the main point. Now what was she to do? Her uncle had started for Europe, and she would not even know his address for another two weeks. It would be a month or more before the drafts could be replaced. Of course she could go to the hotel manager and explain the situation to him; but that would be humiliating, and, besides, there were the little every-day expenses of boats and curiosity stores and magazine counters. She did not even have the money for them. Half an hour later, as she was walk. Maurice She began a hurried examination of the entire contents of the trunk. She began a hurried examination of the entire contents of the trunk. ing thoughtfully down the avenue, she almost ran into the arms of a young girl who was hurrying from the opposite direction. "Oh, I beg your pardon, Miss Waring," apologized the new-comer, laughing. "I was thinking." "So was I," Mabel answered. Then, "Why, Lucy, how bright you look! That school has become an assured fact, I suppose?" "No, indeed," with a wry grimace, "the trustee told me I wasn't quite competent. Lucky for me, though, for the hotel manager has offered me a position at five dollars a month more than I would receive as school teacher." "Has any one else been engaged?" she asked. "For the school? No, not yet," looking at her curiously. "Do you know of any one? The trustee said he was puzzled who to get." "Do you think I would suit?" Lucy stared, pursing her lips as though to whistle; then her lips straightened and quivered in a vain attempt to keep from laughing. "Yes, I think you would," she answered at length, controlling her voice with a visible effort. "Excuse me," Mabel interrupted hurriedly; "I want to see about the position before there are other applicants. Good-bye." When Mabel returned to the hotel, a few hours later, she met Lucy in one of the halls, a dusting brush in her hand and a tiny white service-cap resting demurely upon her brown curls. "Did you get the position, Miss Waring?" she asked, striving to keep her face straight. "Yes," Mabel answered, "and thank you very much for giving me the information, Lucy. I commence work Monday." Week after week went by, and Mabel still remained at the hotel, going across to her school every morning and returning at night. There could be but one conclusion. It was a rich girl's freak. Nothing else would explain a primary school-teacher receiving thirty dollars a month stopping at a hotel that charged five dollars a day. And this was the conclusion of the 1 "Do you think I would suit?" others, also, for by this time every one knew of Mabel's occupation. But perhaps the most curious feature of it all was that Mabel never once thought of the inconsistency of a working girl staying at a place like the Breakers. The climax came one day when the clerk handed her a letter from Berlin. It was from her uncle, and after a brief account of his travels, stated that he had arranged for a trip around the world, to be gone a year. It would scarcely be worth while for her to write, as his address would always be uncertain. She would better remain in Florida until spring, and then go to the hotel in New York where they usually stopped, and where he would join her on his return. The letter concluded with the statement that he was glad he had furnished her so abundantly with money. She would have plenty for all possible contingencies. For the first time she began to go over the details of her situation. It was now the last week in January. She had been here twenty-five days, and that made one hundred and twenty-five dollars due the hotel. She wondered how much more than that her salary would be. Quite a deal, she hoped, for she was beginning to feel the need of many little things; and besides, she wanted to buy presents for all her school children. Lucy came to the door in search of a truant child, and Mabel motioned for her to approach. "Do you know how much salary the school pays?" she asked. Lucy laughed. "I thought the money part didn't appeal to you?" she answered. "That was the first thing I inquired about. The primary teacher gets thirty dollars a month," and then she hurried away to the child, who was laughing at her from the hall. Mabel sat rigid for a moment. Then she arose and crossed to the elevator. The manager was in the office, but she did not glance toward him, nor toward any of the guests. Somehow she felt that she had no right here now. Once in her room she opened her trunks and methodically began to take out and examine their contents. Her eyes were clear now, and her lips firm. These things must pay her debt and provide for her until she could draw the school salary. She would send them to Jacksonville, or perhaps to New York. It did not matter. They would probably bring but a trifle of their real value at either place; but still they had cost a great deal, and would yield enough to free her from debt. She ought to have known in the first place that a school teacher could not afford living like this. At length, from the very bottom of a trunk, she took out and unfolded a plain serge. Of all her outfit it was the one article which showed unmistakable signs of wear. But it had been a favorite gown, and was serviceable, and for these reasons had been brought along for boating and other rough usage. The last time she had worn it had been on a trip from St. Augustine to Mantanzas. Well, it was just what she needed now, and she was about to place it on the small pile when she felt something in one of the pockets. Mechanically she took it out, and then with a low cry sprang to her feet. It was the leather case containing her drafts. Mary MISS JOSEPHINE HUGGARD.

To make a handsome ribbon rose is now one of the most popular of the smart girl's dress accessories. You take three yards of No. 60 satin ribbon in two shades of pink. Three loops two and a half inches to three and a half inches deep, and one end four inches, of light pink ribbon, with two loops of deeper pink ribbon added, form a bow, which is the background of the rose. The single end is tied about the bow and trimmed to a point. In this row the rose is embedded. The center of the rose is made of the deeper pink ribbon. A yard and a fourth of this is doubled down the middle, and wrapped about a wire stem to form the rose center. Three petals of dark, and three of light pink ribbon are added, each two and a half to three and a half inches deep. These are simply loops of ribbon which form the outer petals of the large rose. A spray of rose foliage can be used to make the effect more realistic. A bow for the hair can be made of one yard of light pink ribbon, with five loops and one end. Four buds made of darker pink ribbon are added. The stems (with calyx) are bought ready-made. e silk made with groups of tucks and trimmed at the top, yoke fashion, between the tucks, with straps of pink velvet, or silk, ornamented with motifs or white lace. The standing collar is made with groups of stitching and the little cravat is of pink velvet, or silk. ```markdown ``` The sleeves are tucked in the same way, the tucks opening out to form a puff at the elbow, and the lower part is trimmed with the pink velvet and lace motifs. The girdle is of pink velvet, or silk, fastened with a silver buckle.—Wiener Chic. Taffeta Shirt Waist. When the summer girl wishes to look the most captivating in the meaning she will appear in either a fresh hand embroidered linen shirt waist or in a crisp shooping shirt waist costume of taffeta. The stylish way of making a taffeta shirt waist dress is to toil it with medallions of Irish or Paraguay lace, with French knots in some striking contrasting color, outlining each medallion. Two medallions are sufficient to use on the shirt waist, which will look smart if fastened with pearl buttons, which are so much the fashion this season. Cherry Bounce. Cherry bounce is a species of popular cordial used in the South, and kept among the familiar rules of sickroom cookery. Take the pound of sour cherries and the same quantity of sweet ones. Put them in a wooden dish. Pound them hard enough to THE Costumes for little boys are exceedingly chic and pretty, and while fashions for little folks are generally supposed to be quite simple and easy to follow, yet they are not at all easy to make attractive.

Divide a cooked cauliflower into small branches and dip them separately into some stiff bechamel sauce, while, has been mixed with sufficient tomato) catupu to make it pink, and put them aside until the sauce is set. Then dip the pieces of cauliflower into beaten egg and cover them thickly with panurette (red bread crumbs), and later allowing about a quarter of an hour for the crumbs to harden fry the cauliflower in a wire basket. The sailor blouse is the accented favorite for small boys and the jaunty style shown here is characterized by a double-breasted front under which the edge of the yoke is sewed. The sleeve is the "ravy" style with plaits at wrist and at shoulder. The collar may be pointed or square in front, as provision is made for both styles. The trousers are shaped by side, inside and center seams and may be closed with a fly or at the sides. ```markdown ``` Linen, pique, galatea, flannel, duck, cheviot and suitings in general are suggested, using build or bands or contrasting material for trimming and decorating the shield and sleeve with emblems. The Russian blouse suits still cling to popularity, but are made somewhat more elaborate, a great many of them being hand embroidered. The three models shown in the cut were sketched from the latest designs. They are simple and easily made, yet stylish and pretty and suitable for afternoon or morning wear. Calico Coming Again. There is an old material coming to the tore again, and this is nothing more nor less than old-fashioned calico. A calico pown is so out of date as to be hopeless to the majority of people, yet those who keep right up to the mark are looking at the new calico and investing in it. The special cause of the return of calico to popularity is the shirt waist suit, for calico makes up so very neatly into these suits. And another reason is the improvement in the patterns of the new calicoes which leave so very little to be desired. There come very pretty calico patterns in cream with a little figure and in light blue and light pink and in the darker colors, brown, green and navy blue. These wash well, wear like iron, and are so very neat that one is tempted to invest so that one can have a pretty shirt-waist suit for morning wear. White India Silk Frock Simple and girlish is a white India silk frock for a 16-year-old girl. The skirt has a yoke effect given by rows of lace inserting and fire tucks. A ruffle of lace and tucks round the foot gives it the soft, frilly look so dear to the feminine heart. The round waist has a square yoke of lace, with groups of lace and tucks below. The puffed sleeves are caught in by bands of the lace and finished just below the elbow with a lace ruffle. Gown of Blue Voile. The skirt is cut in panels, opening at the bottom over long points of at the bottom ove white foulard dotted with blue. The front panel is bordered at the top with bands of blue embroidery. ```markdown ``` The blouse is also slashed open over the dotted foulard, and the fronts are bordered with the embroidery. The deep, capel-like shoulder collar is cut in pointed blocks, or tabs, at the edges. The plastron and cravat are of white taffeta and the girldie is of blue. The sleeves flare at the bottom where they are slashed open over undersleeves of the dotted foulard.—Le Guide des Couturiers. Gooseberry Pudding.

Bizarre Trimming. Practical trocks in biscuit, yellow and ivory shades are mostly trimmed with black taffeta. But these bizarre contrasts are not effective unless carried out with consummate skill. Y BEST. The coat and vest effect on the center figure is one of the newest designs and is here shown in navy blue French flannel combined with white silk flannel with a tiny blue figure. The other two are linen suits, which are kept clean and fresh with very little trouble. Butchers' linen is extensively used for these suits SPLENDOR IN RUSSIA. (Special Correspondence.) The eyes of the whole world are upon Russia just now, and the magnificence of its people is the wonder of the century. The last of the great European countries to become civilized, it has forged ahead with mighty strides, and to-day shows the highest Entrance THE MUSEUM OF THE WEST Entrance to Palace. civilization and the crudest barbarian combined within its vast confines. It is of its higher classes that one speaks when one uses the word magnificent, for there are portions of the Russian empire in which the inhabitants are complete barbarians. These splendid high-class Russians can teach the world all there is to know of luxury, for in the comparatively few decades since they became as other European nations they have learned to love the splendor of fine things, and no people on earth are so extravagant, so lavish, so imperially magnificent as these subjects of the Great White Czar. Their palaces are the most superb in the world, their jewels the most costly, their dress the most lavish and ornate. Yet, even now, you scratch a Russian and you find a Tartar, and even this unamable Russian nature is magnificent. The czar is master of twelve vast palaces which are his homes, and it is almost impossible to give an adequate idea of the treasures of this ruler of a splendid people, one tithe of which are as splendid and numerous as all other royal treasures of Europe put together, and the coronation crowns of the czar and his consort make all other coronets seem mean and tawdry in comparison. That of the czar is surmounted by a cross formed of six matchless diamonds, and this stands on a single great ruby. Arches of perfect pearls support the central part of the crown, and about the band for the brow are twenty-eight huge diamonds. The crown of the czarina is one solid mass of diamonds, hundreds of them of the purest sort. A court function in Russia surpasses in pomp and grandeur anything else of the sort in the world, and the barbaric splendor of the interiors where these same festivities are held is more like something from the "Arabian Nights" than what the twentieth century has to offer. No western imagination can picture the splendor of the jewels, the colossal superfluity of display, which the wealth of generations of nobles in THE STUDIO THE CATHEDRAL OF THE ORDER OF THE LAMBERTS Drawing Room of Empress Europe, the servility of numberless sultans, Aslatic kings and potentates have heaped at the feet of the czar of Russia. At court functions the empress is weighed down with jewels that fairly dazzle one, ropes of diamonds as large as marbles, necklaces and stomachers of emeralds and pearls like pigeon's eggs in size. And the ladies of the court are equally loaded; heads and throats and shoulders fairly aching with the heavy, splendid gems. A group of these bedecked court ladies is some- thing to remember always, and no fairy tale ever told of such splendor. And it is not only in their jewels that these magnificent Russian ladies astound the world, but in their dress as well. Their court gowns are of cloth of gold or silver, rare hand- to Palace. woven velvets and priceless broaches interwoven with threads of pure gold. These are encrusted with hand embrodieries in gold and precious stones. No such gowns are worn anywhere in the world but in Russia.

One side faces an immense square, across which is a semicircular mass of ministerial buildings culminating in the center in a tall arch, surmounted by a bronze chariot and four plunging horses of Victory. Within this palace even the functionaries are laden with gold lace and draped with gold cords, with their splendid uniforms bearing conspicuously the imperial two-headed black eagle. The floors are of costly polished woods, and there are columns and columns of polished marble. In the state departments the decoration is dazzingly beautiful. The ballroom at night rivals any "Arabian Nigths" dream ever dream. There are two gigantic candelabra of massive Russian crystals, nearly ten feet high, standing on the floor on each side of the huge supper room doors. Rows of orange trees stretch down the banquet ball, and under these the tables are set, and there are hundreds of birds in golden cages suspended from the ceiling, and two marble fountains set in the wall spray their perfumed waters continuously from a succession of shells. Near the private apartments of the beautiful young empress is a deserted suite of rooms over which hangs an air of mystery and awe. These are the rooms of the assassinated Alexander II. Into them he was borne from the fatal canal bridge, near the Nevski Prospect, with his body below the waist shattered, and here, within an hour, he expired. The old summer palace of Catherine II. is a huge white building of very attractive appearance. It is a royal abode greatly liked by the czarina, and there she goes for picnics. Her private apartments there are lofty, splendid rooms, paneled from floor to ceiling with a marvelously beautiful inlaying of purest amber of THE CAFE priceless value, and so beautifully carved that one is awed by the exquisite wonder of it. The marvelous, mellow effect of this rare translucent setting, sweeping into carved cupids and nymphs and roses, gives one the idea of what fairy-land might be. And there are tall vases and daintily carved cabinets also of golden amber standing about everywhere, catching the light softly and looking like condensed sunshine. There are nearly 20,000 known medicinal remedies. --- --- A Grundy county exchange says the recent rains proved a "banana" for the corn.

"The Lord," says the Trenton Republican-Tribune, "helps those who help others." Now is the time to pay up. The doctors of Chillicothe are preparing for a heavy fall business. That town will have four foot ball teams on the gridiron. Nate Washer of Fairplay sold a farm last week which he purchased last September. Washer cleaned up a thousand dollars on the farm. The milk dealers of Moberly have increased prices. It is understood that the water company has compelled them all to use meters. Lamonte has decided to have a two days' fall carnival.

Speaking of doubtful compliments, a Chillicothe paper says, "The concert band gave a very short concert in Elm park Saturday evening which was highly appreciated." Frank Nerdyke, a Trenton switchman, had two fingers mashed the other day in making an old fashioned link and pin coupling. This is the first accident of the kind reported for several years in Missouri World's Fair Commissioner C. A.

Excelsior Springs is in a state of breathless expectancy. A merry-go-round is reported headed that way. A Joplin man who beat a girl over the head with a mandolin told the judge that he wanted to teach her music lesson. By the way, when did John D. Rockefeller arrive in Eldorado Springs, how long did he stay, and did the water cure his stomach trouble? John LaHines is now the paragrapher of the St. Joseph Press. As John recently came from New Orleans, he must beware of springing farfetched jokes. A company has been formed in Milan to build tenement houses, and the young society people of the town have already begun to talk of slumming parties. Missouri coal miners are talking of a strike. It is becoming more apparent every day that Missouri coal miners are having a hard time to stand prosperity. "Good men," announces the Jackson Examiner, "are willing to serve the people in the position of lieutenant governor." Then the Examiner names several who are not only willing, but dead anxious, to serve. Two years ago a Kirkville man lost a diamond ring in a pond. Sunday he shot a frog at the pond and upon preparing it for the frying pan found that its legs were entirely too tough to eat. So he threw the frog away. Over in Webb City the "lefthanded" social is all the go nowadays. When a guest arrives his right hand is bandaged and he must use his left for everything all during the evening. If he attempts, to use his right somebody "soaks" him. A North Missouri paper tells of a book agent who took refuge under the edge of a hay stack during a storm. The lightning struck him on the cheek, and, glancing off, killed a mule 200 yards away. The book agent escaped injury. Down in Liberty a few days ago a merchant offered a prize of $10 to the man who would bring the largest wagon load of Clay county women to his store. One man managed to crowd seventy-seven of the fair sex on a hay frame, and won the prize. Then it cost him $7.70 for ice cream. The man with the tallest corn stalk is again visiting the Missouri country newspaper offices. Over in St. Louis county an exchange tells of a plan that is on foot to make a cemetery "more inviting." There is one railroad in Missouri that has never had a head-end collision. It is wholly in Lafayette county and operates only one engine. A tramp named Gouski was drowned in the river at St. Louis while bathing the other day. He hadn't been in water for so long he had forgotten how to swim. The editor of the Clayton Argus says he has taken a decisive stand against slot machines. He would better get away from them unless he wants to lose all his worldly wealth.

SHORTHAND WORK PAYS. The ability to write shorthand is coming to be more and more an absolute and necessary clerical qualification for young men and women in every station of life. The very nature of the work places them in close confidential business relations with Merchants, Financialers, Capitalists and Business People generally. In a multitude of cases, Shorthand has proved the stepping-stone to very lucrative and desirable positions. A good Stenographer need never want employment in Kansas City, Missouri, as every Business House employs one or more, and the demand for Graduates of Spalding's Commercial College will always exceed the supply. The salaries of Stenographers range from $40 to $60 per month and when thoroughly experienced from $60 per month upward. The Student who desires to take up the Study of Shorthand should choose a Standard System which, by the success of its writers, has proved to be capable of reaching the highest point in speed and accuracy.

Next to electric traction and motor car specifications the favorite subjects for invention were wireless telegraphy, golf balls and clubs and reversible outside seats for tram-cars. The Queen Victoria street fire led to a big boom in applications for patent fire escapes. Free Theater Ticket People in Paris, who are interested in giving working girls a bit of pleasure now and then, have devised a scheme where worthy girls receive two tickets to a good theater once in a while. The scheme calls for an elaborate system of registration, but it is working to perfection. The Kaiser is thinking of introducing the idea into the royal theaters in Germany. Slightly Mistaken. "They," wrote a Kansas City reporter, having reference to two men who were saved after being in the flood two days, "suffered terribly, as they were without food or water." She Didn't Care. Maplehill, Ia., Aug. 10th.—"I felt as though I didn't care whether I lived or died, I was so miserable all the time." In these words does Miss Nellie Barfoot of this place describe her condition. Every woman who is, or has been sick and suffering will understand and appreciate just how Miss Barfoot felt, and there are no doubt many thousands of similar cases. It is truly an awful thing when a woman gets so low that she can say "I don't care whether I live or die." But Miss Barfoot tells a different story to-day, and her words should guide every suffering woman to the path of health and happiness. "I used Dodd's Kidney Pills, and I am cured. I feel like a new person, and I would say to every woman suffering as I did, give Dodd's Kidney Pills a trial and you will not be disappointed. They are worthy of the highest praise." Mosquitoes Attack Paris Following a long period of unusually wet and sultry weather, a plague of mosquitoes is reported in Paris. It is said that the ornamental, but stagnant or sluggish, ponds have something to do with the situation which is rendering mosquito nets necessary in many houses. Quite a Ceremony. A Buddhist dignitary was recently buried in Japan, and the police attended the funeral and made an official report of the ceremonies, which must have been rather picturesque. The report merely says: "Three hundred and eleven injured, 75 fainted, 121 thefts, 374 pickpockets captured, 1,921 articles lost and 79 people rescued from canals." Not Surprising. Complaint is made that the new rules make the game of football too technical. Perhaps they have been so framed that when three men have been killed on a side the game shall be called.

A BACK NUMBER The Milk and Egg Diet Starving the patient who has a sick stomach, is an out-of-date treatment and no longer necessary with the predigested and nourishing food Grape-Nuts, that the weakest stomach can handle and grow strong upon. There is plenty of proof of this: "I had suffered from stomach trouble for six years and for most of the last two years had been confined to my bed, the trouble having become chronic in spite of the very best medical attention. I had always been a coffee drinker, but for the past year I could not drink it at all because it made me so nervous I could not sleep and my appetite was almost entirely gone. "Then some friends advised me to try the pregiested food Grape-Nuts and about three months ago I did so and since that time my improvement has been so rapid that my customers and friends are astonished and every day someone remarks upon my changed condition. I have gained 15 pounds, sleep well, my appetite is good and my digestion is perfect. Where I have lived on milk and light diet for years I now eat most anything I want and don't suffer any inconvenience either. The way Grape-Nuts food has built up my stomach and strengthened my nervous system particularly is just wonderful. "I drink your food drink, Postum, too, and no longer feel the want of coffee. There is absolutely no doubt that leaving off coffee and using Grape-Nuts and Postum has brought me out of my bed from an invalid back to fine health." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

The late Major James B. Pond, who had many stories to tell of the famous lecturers whom he managed, was especially fond of indulging in reminiscences of Henry Ward Beecher, for whom he had a great admiration. One of his favorite Beecher anecdotes was this one: "One day while I was making a long railway journey with Mr. Beecher, he happened to put his hand into the little watch pocket of his trousers. He drew from it a sealed envelope, gave the envelope a puzzled look, and then tore it open. A little while later he passed it to me, saying: 'Major, see what is inside Some weeks ago I officiated at the marriage of a great railway manager, and after the ceremony he handed me that envelope. I hurriedly slipped it into my pocket and then forgot all about it. Just now I happened to run my fingers into the pocket and discovered it.' I opened the envelope and there lay five one-thousand-dollar bills!"—New York Times. DORCAS MADE A POINT. Very Neatly Turned the Tables on His Better, Half. "I don't see how you can say I've been neglecting my home and wasting my time attending club meetings," protested Mrs. Dorcas. "You men are so sordid in your views you can't see good in anything unless there's money in it." "Well, what good is there in that club of yours that keeps you away from home most of the time?" "Intellectual good, my dear," returned his better half; "something more to be desired than all the money in the world. For instance, our club has gone in for nature study, and I have learned all about the habits of the interesting little creatures of the insect world." "You have, eh?" sneered Dorcas. "Well, all I can say is that if you'd kept away from your old club and studied insect life at home, I would have been spared the shock I received on opening the wardrobe and finding holes." Starting Early. Dr. Francis L. Patton, President of Princeton Theological Seminary, has a reputation not only for the excellence of his sermons, but to the short notice at which, on occasion, he can prepare them. Some time ago he was conducting a "question box" at a summer school, when he was asked by one of his auditors: "Will you tell me, Dr. Patton, your method in preparing your sermons? Do you begin early in the week?" "Yes," said Dr. Patton, "quite early." "But," persisted the questioner; "how early?" "About 6 o'clock Sunday mornings" —New York. Times. In Classic Boston. Bliss Carman, the poet, tells of a young friend of his who was seeking apartments in Boston's aristocratic section, Beacon Hill. At one house he was received by the landlady, a spinster of uncertain age and aggressive refinement of manner. Awed to a great degree by the lady's manner, the rather nervous young man stammered: "And would it be possible for me to secure apartments in your house, Mrs. Blank?" Whereupon the spinster held herself even straighter than before and replied with haughty reproof: "Miss Blank. Shr! Miss—from choice!"—New York Times. Proverb Against Him. Down town they are telling how E. C. Benedict remarked the other day to S. L. Blood, at the latter's Broadway office, that he had an important matter to talk over with some one he could trust. Now Mr. Benedict and Mr. Blood are close friends. "Well?" replied Mr. Blood. "Some one in whom I had implicit faith," Mr. Benedict continued. "I'm not sure about you." Mr. Blood grew red. "And why not?" he asked, with emphasis. "Well," said Mr. Benedict, "this is a matter of absolute confidence. you see, and they do say, 'Blood will tell.'—New York Times. Sonnet.

Infection from Table Salt: It perhaps does not occur to many people that there is risk in our present unclean method of using table salt from an open dish or salt cellar, as it is always exposed to the dust and germs floating about in the atmosphere. Knowing also the affinity salt has for moisture, it is only reasonable to expect that it will absorb this from a sick room (which may possibly be amuified artificially) and then take up the germs of disease at the same time.

Catarrh of the Stomach is Generally Called Dyspepsia — Something to Produce Artificial Digestion is Generally Taken. Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host of Other Digestive Remedies Has Been Invented. These Remedies Do Not Reach the Seat of the Difficulty, Which is Really Catarrh E. X. U. S. Senator M. C. Butler from South Carolina, was Senator from that state for two terms. In a recent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co., from Washington, D. C., says: "I can recommend Peruna for dyspepsia and stomach trouble. I have been using your medicine for a short period and I feel very much relieved. It is inedible a wonderful medicine besides a good tonic."—M. C. Butler. The only rational way to cure dyspepsia is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce artificial digestion. It cures catarrh and leaves the stomach to perform digestion in a natural way. This is vastly better and safer than resorting to artificial methods. Peruna has cured more cases of dyspepsia than all other remedies combined, simply because it cures catarrh wherever located. If catarrh is located in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened itself in the throat or bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When catarrh becomes settled in the stomach, Peruna cures it, as well in this location as in any other. Peruna is not simply a remedy for dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy, Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is generally dependent upon catarrh EDUCATIONAL A FULL COURSES IN Classics, Letters, Economics and History, Journalism, Art, Science, Engineering, Architectural and Electrical Engineering, Architecture, Thorough Preparatory and Commercial Thorough Preparatory and Commercial Courses.
