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. KANSAS CITY, MO., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1903. NUMBER APPOINTMENTS OF A. M. E. CONFERENCE Rev. Dr. Matthews Urges Gospel as Best Solution of the Race Question. The forty-ninth annual session of the Missouri conference of the A. M. E. church, which has been in progress at St. Paul's chapel since last Wednesday, adjourned last night at the close of the evening session, after the reading of the appointments. The first two hours of the morning session were executive. The suspension of Henry Green was continued, Rev. T. J. Diemer was granted a letter of withdrawal and the name of Deacon G. H. Brown was dropped from the roll of the conference. Rev. Mr. Wall of the M. E. Church and Rev. John Matthews and Rev. J. W. Cunningham of the M. E. Church, South were introduced, and the two latter ministers, who have served in the Methodist ministry fifty-eight and fifty-nine years, respectively, addressed conference. Dr. Matthews urged the colored ministers to help solve the race question by preaching the Gospel of Christ and teaching good morals. He urged them to cling to emotional religion. He said: "When you regenerate your people and we regenerate the white people, there won't be any race problem to solve. God has got a hand in this matter and he will settle it all right in his own way and in his own time." Bishop Tyree responded to the greetings. Greetings were ordered to be sent by telegraph to the Illinois conference, in session at Paris. President J. R. Hwakins of Kittrell college, A. M. E. commissioner of education, reported great advancement in his department. The afternoon session was devoted to reports of special committees. The committee on state of the country deplored the utter disregard of law and order in many portions of the land and applauded President Roosevelt, Governor Yates of Illinois, Governor Durbin of Indiana and Governor Jones of Alabama, for their firm stand against mob rule, and commended the Missouri legislature for the spirit of fair play that enabled it to defeat class legislation against negroes. Reports of ministerial work were reported by the women evangelists of the conference, Mrs. Doreg Russell, Mrs. George Ann Hyde, Mrs. E. Howard and Mrs. Sarah V. Bean. Rev. D. P. Roberts, pastor of St. Paul's chapel, St. Louis, was chosen to fill the unexpired term of Rev. White as treasurer of the conference. NIGHT SESSION.

A small boy was watching workmen lay a composition roof in Columbia, Mo., a few days ago when his hat blew off. In trying to recover it he stepped on the composition and his feet stuck. In struggling to release his feet he lost his balance and got his hands stuck in the composition. He was held a prisoner on all fours until the workmen got turpentine and dissolved the tar and pulled him loose. Her Souvenir. This story was told on one of the yachts yesterday: "When Sir Thomas came over here the first time he brought a lot of handsome silverware and other valuable things on the Erin. Almost everybody who went to that yacht wanted a souvenir and took one. A young lady had to grab one hurriedly, and when she got home she found she had a pair of pajamas." —New York Sun. A. Mean Question. The other day a journal, hitherto without a spot on its character, inquired with well-feigned innocence, "How can five persons divide five eggs so that each man will receive one and still one remain in the dish?" After several hundred people went two-thirds distracted in the mazes of this proposition, the journal meanly says: "One takes the dish with the egg." Name Is Not Duplicated. Clarinda, in Iowa, is the only town of its name in the world, and was christened in honor of Miss Clarinda Buck, niece of Alexander M. Tice, who lived there in 1851, before its incorporation. She was then 22 years old and famous for her beauty of person and character. She afterward married and moved to Oregon, where she died twenty-five years ago. Degrees for English Women Two Englishwomen have received from Heidelberg the first honorary degree of doctor of theology granted by a German university to a woman. They are twin sisters, Mrs. Agnes Smith Lewis and Mrs. Margaret Dunlop Gibson, who discovered the Sinatic pallimpsest and have done important work in Bible research. Contagious Disease. The common contagious diseases, the causes of which are still unknown, are scarlet fever, measles, chickenpox, yellow fever and hydrophobia. One difficulty in experimental research for the organisms which cause scarlet fever, yellow fever and measles is that the animals are not susceptible to them. Especially Flap Doodle American fathers are the best fellows on earth. In addition to paying millinery bills they have cheerfully given their daughters more than $200,000,000 with which to buy foreign titles, coronets, gewgaws and snap doodle. - St. Louis Globe-Democrat. CONTRIBUTED TO THE REST OF OUR DOCTORS. When dear Miss Smith, with her skillful pen, Was writing of our doctor friends. She omitted some along that line To whom it might sadness lend. We love them all, so leave out none. There is work for all to do On every side, if they walk or ride, The old as well as new. And your brain seems to be a rattlin', Go, just as swift as ever you can And find our friend Dr. Chapman. If he is rushed with some one else And others are waiting and hurrying, Go like an arrow back up town And try our popular Dr. Carnon. If taken ill in the dead hours of night Or any time of the day, Just rush to the nearest telephone, And call up Dr. Pery. There is Runsey, New, and his friends May be few, but there is work enough for all. So if you live in the south part of town Give this worthy one a call. Dr. McCamy is here and deserves a share; Of his class he was valedictory. So don't forget his name and place. When in need of him call up 70 Hickory Well wishes to our many doctors. Success to all on every side. May you be so successful financially. That those who have not can take un to themselves a bride. W. FREDERICK FAIRFAX. Sight of Frogs. An Austrian naturalist named Werner has ascertained by numerous experiments that frogs can see no objects at a distance of over twenty times the length of their bodies. Crocodiles can distinguish objects ten times the length of their bodies and boa constrictors only one-quarter of their own length. Women News Venders Scattered along Park Row, New York, there are about a half-dozen women who sell papers. In the process of a half-million which passes daily during business hours there are thousands who prefer to buy their papers from them. A sentimental consideration makes many steady customers. Tourists in Hard Luck A rumor got abroad in Rotterdam, Holland, recently, that two people were going about distributing poisoned chocolate to children, and two Scotch tourists had rather a warm time, being assaulted by the populace as the supposed miscreants. They had to take refuge in the police station. Audubon Branches. The Audubon society in North Carolina has branches in eight towns and cities, including Raleigh and Wilmington. It has 280 members, who pay $5 each per year. The society employs men on the coast at $45 to $50 a month to look after violations of the law against killing birds. A Bunch of Time. Mrs. Feedum—Why do you move so lazily? Don't you know that time and tide wait for no man? Tattered Tucker—Dat may be all right about tide, lady; but I'm feared dere's a bunch o' time waitin' fer me de next time I git jugged—Kansas City Journal. Step Higher. "She's a prominent amateur actress now, I suppose," said the returned native. "O no; she has improved wonderfully since you were here last. She's got a job now as a chorus girl with a professional company."—Philadelphia Press. Bells on Hansoms. Owing to the Berlin hansons having rubber tires, complaint was made of danger to the public, and they have now been supplied with bells. The colored musicians of this city members of Local No. 314, American Federation of Musicians, will give their opening ball of the season at their headquarters, the old dancing academy, southeast corner Sixth and Charlotte, Admission 15c. Wednesday evening, October 21st. This hall has been lately renovated and can be secured at reasonable rates for balls, parties and receptions. For further information see Chas. T Watts. See. Local No. 314, A. F. of F. 1210 Highland. Most Crowded Spot. The most crowded spot on the globe, at certain hours of the day, is the neighborhood of the City Hall park in New York. The Brooklyn bridge ends there, as well as one of the elevated roads, the subway now in construction, other projected subways and many lines of street cars. The Time to Die. That a great majority of all deaths occur between 1 and 8 o'clock a. m. was shown by the record of 5,000 cases presented to the British Medical association by Dr Havilland. Forty per cent more deaths occur in the fifth hour of the morning than in the tenth hour. Ballooning. Modern ballooning, by universal consent, dates from 1783, when the Montgolfiers, two brothers, made their first ascent in France. They used hydrogen gas, which Cavendish in 1466 had discovered was only about one-seventh the weight of air. That Exiled Whisky. Kentucky is sending 20,000 barrels of whisky to Europe to mature. It would not seem necessary to send it so far—and yet it has to go a long way from Kentucky if it ever hopes to reach old age.—New York Mall and Express. Turpentine. On an average a pine tree will yield turpentine for about five years, and after that time it is cut down and sent to the sawmill, the previous "boxing" for turpentine in nowise injuring its value for lumber. Wild Sheep. In Europe there is only one species of wild sheep. It is known as the mouflon, and it inhabits the mountains of Corsica and Sardinia, where mouflon stalking is a favorite autumn pastime. Waterwave in Canada Canada has spent nearly $100,000,000 on its waterways and is well satisfied with the bargain. A proportionate expenditure in the United States would be $1,600,000,000. Case of Crucifixion. In Klating, China, a man was recently executed by being nailed to a wooden cross. He lived three days before he succumbed to his tortures. Highest Railway The Jungfrau railway in Switzerland has now reached the Eigerwand, at an altitude of about 12,000 feet above sea level. The Antarctic. The unexplored antarctic region, which equals Europe in size, is the largest unexplored area in the world. Women Own Land. One-sixth of the land owners in Great Britain are women. Glaciers are Disappearing According to experts who have been studying the question, the death and total extinction of the prehistoric glaciers is only a matter of time. In the Dauphine Alps seventeen main glaciers have been under close observation since 1890, and all have shrunk steadily during the period, some of them as much as fifty feet a day. LOG CABIN PHILOSOPHY. Old fr'en's is de bes' fr'en's—cept w'en dey got too good a mem'ry 'bout what you owes 'em. De worl' takes a man at what he says he is, en den writes him down for what it knows he ain't. Life is nuthin' but problems, en de bigges' problem er all is how not ter go crazy tryin' ter solve any er 'em. Self-preservation is de fust law er ratur', end de law da cause many a man ter fall in business at de right time. De devil is mo' dangerous kaze you can't see him; yit, ef folks once sot eyes on him dey'd never b'l'eve in him no mo'. De house on the mountain top ain't no closer ter heaven dan de cabin in de valley, en hez mo' trouble wid de lightnin'. Dey's lots er talk 'bout givin' de devii his due; but of he got it, dey'd he fewer er us down here to saddle our sins on him. Perhaps de reason angel visits is so few, dey got so nigh de yuther place dey didn't have enough fedders lef' fer flyin' purposes. After all, de bes' wisdom er Solomon didn't come ter him 'twel he had experience enough ter know dat he didn't have none at all.

FIGS AND THISTLES. Gravestones do not represent reserved seats in glory. A man has no more religion in him than comes out of him. Greatness of soul is not synonymous with littleness of sense. Salvation is not by culture but culture comes by salvation. God's justice cannot be weighed in the scales of our scruples. A good deal of laziness of mind is called liberality of opinion. The modern pharisee knows enough to adopt the publican's prayer. The more we are burdened with substance the greater shadow we cast. The flight of time ought to remind us of the coming time of our flight. The sign of the dollar is the one most sought by this sinful generation. The hungry heart is the only payment God will take for the bread of life. The grumbling Christian is more greedy of God's goods than of His grace. It is of little use making earth like heaven until we make men's hearts like God's.—Rami's Horn. A Danish colony of 500 families is seeking a location in Mexico. If the colony prospers, it will receive large accessions later. Photograph Royalty. A firm of Dublin photographers was honored with sittings by the King and Queen and Princess Victoria. Railway Earnings Increase. Railway earnings are $1,000,000 week greater this year than last. NUMBER 30 The reopening at the St. John's church Sunday was a financial success, they raised $109.50. Rev. Young and his members deserve much credit for repairing their church. Rev. Howell and his members were down. He preached at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Hunter are in the restaurant business on Tenth street. Call in for Mr. Hunter for anything in the restaurant line. They are doing fine business. When strangers come to the city don't forget he is on Tenth street. He had enough business about him to give us a little ad, like all colored business men ought to do. You must advertise your business in the Rising Son if you expect success. Rev. Mrs. Epps subscribed for the Rising Son. Mr. Arthur Coleman also subscribed. Mr. Morocco Saunders paid up his subscription for the Rising Son as did Mr. Chas. Heywood, Daniel Green and Mr. George Porter. Everybody ought to take the Rising Son. For the last month or so we can't get enough papers for the people that want them. We have new subscribers every week. The people know that this is the only coloured paper that comes to this town regular and when they pay money for it they know they will get it. Mrs. John Johnson and her sister, Mrs. Standiford, were in Kansas City Sunday. Mr. John Johnson was in Kansas City several days last week. Mrs. Josephine Jackson, of Chicago, who has been in our city visiting Mrs. Mary Webb and other relatives, returned to Chicago a few days ago. Mrs. Webb accompanied her as far as Kansas City. Rev. Mrs. Gilbert has an attack of the asthma. Dr. Ball had an attack of neuralgia last week, but he is now able to be out again. The Second Baptist State Convention opened here on the 14th. Quite a number of delegates were present. Mr. Robert Mosby and Miss Mamie Carey were united in matrimony Thursday morning at 7 o'clock and left the same morning for Kansas City on a bridal trio. Mr. Jordan Hook spent a few days in Kansas City recently and returned Monday morning. He is expecting to make Kansas City his future home. Mrs. Emma Smith went to Kansas City to meet her sister before she returned to Texas where her husband is in the ministry. Mr. Robert Smith went up Saturday evening. He and his wife and mother returned home Sunday evening. Mrs. Parker, the mother of the 13-year-old boy, Milton Parker, who killed the 11-year-old girl in Higginsville last week, is here trying to help him out, as mothers will do. Mr. Ellie Williams got his hand hurt very badly last week in the mines. Mr. Green Marcus has bought out Mr. Hughes' restaurant. Mr. Warren Reed is making some improvements on his new home. We love to see men buy property and then improve it. It speaks well for our race. Mr. Conway is making some improvement in his shop. Give him a call. Babies or Dogs. No one with the proper sensibilities can help a lifting for some form of dog. It is equally true that a duly organized mind has always a fondness for some kind of child. It is not the fair thing to care so much more for the dog than for the child as to subject the human to the assault of the canine creature, either deliberately or from indifference to the luck of the baby in escaping the contact without loss of life. ai eta crmaaacaamaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaacaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaacaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaacaamaaaal ps 7 a ba ss ee a lei ie aoa ed ie - = = LET THE PEOPLE SAY WHEN TARIFF REVISION SHALL BE UNDERTAKEN, | Benator Hoar Urges That Changes In Gur Protective System Be Not Made | Until the People Shall Have Passed Upon the Question at the Polls, | Senator Hoar dropped! some pearls of wisdom and sound poliey in his speeeh at the dinner of the Essex elub on the 1th of September. “The Grand Ol Man” of Massachusetts was easily the star among the speakers. He usually is in any company, He talked about the tariff, about foreign trade and about reciprocity, and it was clear brated, wholesome talk, that was alike timeiy and pertinent. Tariff revision, he said, might become neces- sary, just as it is necessary to some times revise the statutes of Massachue sette; “bute said the wise statesman and profound economist, “you cannot be doing {1 ail the time, because, whenever you are doing it business 1 thrown into confuston and uncertain: ty" In the course of time, be added— and no protectionist disputes thix— changes may be required in the most satisfactory and the most scientific tariff schedules, but the time to make suet changes, ho insisted, was not in the year before a presidential election, but after a presidential election, when the changes ean be made in accord with the instractions of the people, Note the qnalitication: ‘Tariff changes whould only be made in obedience to the expressed will of the people, ‘The Dingley law, having been enacted in response to the demand of the sever: feign people, may not and must not be changed in any essenual partiowlar until the people shall have deelared thets wishes through the ballot box, ‘That is the thonght whieh the Amert can Economist has again and again vreed as the guiding principle in all tari’ changes, whether by legislation or by any other method. It is also the Thought whieh Senator Hoar enter: tains It should be the uniform thought and doctrine of the Republl ean party, As to the much talked about and Little understood question of reciproe- ity as a means of promoting foreign trade the venerable statesman was equally clear and) pointed when he sa “Everybody Is in favor of reeiproc: ity and everybody is in faver of for: eign trade, — We wish to sell every thing we can sell to foreign countries and) to buy from foreign countries everything that it is for the interest fof the whole people that we should buy rather than make ourselves.” ‘Phat is the question, Reciprocity begins and ends right there, If it be xing at all under and in accordance With the principles of protection to Gomestic labor and industry, What ts we should stop making in order that we shoud stop making in order caat foreisners may make and sell it to us? What industry or group of industries shall we wipe out of existence, dis: placing American employmens, Ameri can labor and American wage paying? It is a hard question and one that de- mands an answer, No advocate of reek procity in competing products has ever answered it; none ever will an: awer it except he answer it as a free trader namely: “wo mater what in: dustry or group of industries shall be annihilated. Let us have more for: eign trade at any cost to domestic labor and wages ‘Uhat is not the answer of protee- tionists, and it should not be the answer of any Repubhean, It is net Senator Hoar’s answer ‘This Is what Le said at the Essex Club dinner: “Do you wish to bny of Canada any- thing we can make better ourselves? Do you want to strike down one American manutacture for the benefit of another? Or so you want to estab, lish the reciprocity that Blaine favor: ed: ‘Sell to Canada everything that we have got to sell that she does not produce, and buy of Canada every thing that she has cot to sell that we flo not produce.’ " ‘That 18 Blaine reciprocity, Republi san reciprocity as defined in the plat torm of 1900, the only reciprocity that je not free trade NOY FOR RECIPROCITY. Why Secretary Shaw Had So Little ts few Abeut 1. In his speech at Chicago before the National Association of Merchants and Travalers, Secretary of the Treas: ury Sha spoke of three ways sng gested to acquire more markets for this country, One ts reciprocity, to which the secretary referred as a plan to trade compliments—to exchange trade priviieges—to xet onr doors somewhat ajar for the special advan: tage of our people. Considerable has been said along this line, but not very much has been actually accomplished,” Just this passage on reciprocity, and no more, from the cabinet official at the head of the Treasury department, And, in truth, no more can be sald Reciprocity is a neblous thing, an un tried theory. No one can define it ‘The situation Is wisely described in @ few words, Reciprocity is not, as yet even an experiment, Its actual work: ings are unknown One of the three ways commented on by Secretary Shaw ts to move toward free trade in the hope that greater frecdom of Importation will induce other nations to follow the example. “L would like to inquire,” asked the secretary of the business men he addressed, “whether you, tn making your purchases abroad, sive preference to those countries which favor us with an open door, or do you buy where you ean obtain the desired article to the best advantage? — ‘The answer is evident. Business men buy according to margins of profit, They ko for silks to protective France, and not to free trade England. We open ed the door to Brazil, and yet that country continues to sell tous $70,000,000 worth of goods a year, and buys from us only. $10,000,000 worth The third method, which Seeretary Shaw approves, is to adopt a system 0 encouraging “reenlar lines of Amert ean ships, flying the American flag and carrying American merehants an “American travelers, with their wares auido merehandise, the product 0 “American sabor,” between our port and countries where our trade 1s un developed. Here 1s practical food for thought. Secretary Shaw has little to say about reciprocity, because little can be said about a mere theory, it not @ chimera.—St. Louis Globe Demo crat, | Hampered. | The New York Journal of Com merce Is of the opinion that our woolen manufacturers are greatly hampered by the tariff on wool. They were not this hampered during the free wool period, 1894-97, a period of stagnation, loss and bankraptey. If occasionally, a woolen manufacturer indulges bimself ina dream of free trade in Wool he is sure to wake up when he recalls what happened to shim as the result of the Wilson.Gor }inan atrocity, and, particularly, what would happen to him when the re moval of the tariff on wool should be as it certainly would be—accom panied by a very material reduction of the tariff on woolens, ‘The World te Advantaced, A Democratic free trade paper, com: menting on the fact that the British are protesting against cheap bounty sugar, says that their attitude and the facts suggest that “the bounty busi- ness may be carried so far as to chief ly benefit the consumers of other coun- aries and that the production of beet sugar has tended to enormously re duce the world’s price of sugar.

Tt was impossible to zo out of doors, Inthe face of the thundering hurricane one could hardly stand afoot for a minute AUS a. m, the violence of the storm was unabated, Buildings still rocked, and every few minutes brought fresh sonnds of houses unrooted, trees snap: ning and poles falling. At 7:30 it was all over and the rain came down like a deluge, Kingston presented a woeful spec tacle alter the storm. The streets were deserted. In some quarters there was not a sign ofslife, But on every hand stood out the sombre evidence of ‘the night's terrible. visitation, Huge trees—landmarks of a score of years— lay across the streets and lanes, Roofs of houses, broken windows, fallen wires appeared in every thor: onghfare, On Orange street every telephone pole was down, Like so many broken masts they lay across the streets, their network of wires in a tangled mass, all within reach of the hand. In some places the telephone, electric light and tramway wires were mixed in inextricable confusion. AN over the elty it was the same. Streets and lanes were blocked by broken trees, fallen telephone poles and other debris, At a glance one could see that enor. mous damage had been done, — The lower end of the streets and lanes were strewn with wreckage: and it was clear that the sea had risen and its waters had rushed for several yards in shore. The harbor presented a sorry appearance. Wrecked vessels dotted the beach; and shipping debris and garbage were continually being washed up. Vessels had dragged or broken their anchors; and the fow that were not wrecked were found far from where they had stood the nixht before, With the exception of a small west: Roath aS ra aera nes ‘ an Su a, rh eee |, oS Negra ao . i: fae ee Saat eee Se eer Os ae en BM NONE sg to Pe. es ede i a le RECN: LAN S ees ai ges a ae ea 3 a Sai oe ey ce Lg N ss Ss yAX : a: ss Acioe Wrecked Houses, ern section, the whole colony shares the blow.

The figuras are already totaling up a colossal amount. This is no mere matter of a few hundreds of thousands lost. It meas far more, There are many com: petent authorities who believe the loss will eventually reach more than $10,000,000, ‘The United Fruit company alone has lost hundreds of thousands of pounds. This is the actual immediate loss. Later on there must be added the losses entailed in charters and trade. The American company’s losses are so enormous that its bust ness here will be tied up for at least a year, It will take all of that time to get the plantations in working order again, From Port Antonfo comes a sad story. The town has practically been wiped ont, Buildings have been Wreck ed and damaged all over the place. Not one escaped the hurricane, ‘The xreat wind smote big, strong houses; smote them on the hill; smote them down in the town; racked and smash: vil them, as the fail of a book smashes 4 child’s toy house. Vessels were tossed about and driven ashore like so many small boats, Some of them pnt to sea; those which remained sut fered more or less severely. Buildings that had stood the stress of storms for years went down to des truction In the path of the hurricane, ‘The damage to the town is extenstye. Somé places have been completely wrecked. Port Morant was as badly hit as Port Antonio, ‘The United Fruit “company’s great house alone stands undamaged. Other buildings were racked and battered and broken by the storm. Of the fruit fields the same Story must be told. ‘Thes went down as though ent to the earth by a tre- mendous seythe. Only a few weeks ago the island was full of gladness; toway the future seems dark and dreary, No one can fail to be touched to sorrow when he reads of men and women weeping in their utter helplessness of their dest: tution; no one will be surprised to learn that strong men have been para: lyzed by a blow so sudden and so ter rible that it almost seems a dream. ‘The whole situation Is heart-breaking, Not for twenty years has the Island suffered so terrible a visitation, ‘The governor spoke gravely of the disaster in the legisi.tive council, "It is dithcult,” said his excelleney, “to exaxgerate this calamity.

In the rich agricultural section, in the valley of the Missouri River, crops appear to splendid advantage. Occasionally one finds fields where there has been perhaps toe much wa- ter and the crops are somewhat late, but this is the exception.

Perhaps a stronger argument in favor of the state is shown In an ex- amination of the bank deposits, In suly, 1901, South Dakota banks bad deposits amounting to $14,000,000.00; on July 1, 1902, these amounted to $330,000,000/00, and on July 1, 1908, to $32,000,000.00, Th addition to the money tn corn, wheat and the gold of the Black Hills, which has been termed the richest one hundred square miles in_ the world, there 1s good money in South Dakota cattle. Men who have come to South Dakota without money, and who now count theit dollars with five figures, say that raising cattle 1s the only business in the world for which a man can borrow his entire capita’. Tt Is a fact that South Dakota banks are glad to help any henest, industrt ous young man, who comes well recom- men‘led for his commercial integrity, in cattle business and accept his cat- tle as collateral, A banker of Ips wich told your correspondent that dur- ing twenty years of sugh loans he had Hot lost one cent and he could name by the score young mon who had se- cured from South Dakota banks the price of their first herd of cattle. A visit to the cattle ranch of Lee & Prentis near Vermillion, 8. D., was one of the interesting features cf the above mentioned trip. Lee & Prentls are the largest cattle ‘breeders in south Dakota. They exhibit with some pride, among their valuable short horns, a two-year-old heifer which re Czatly took sweepstakes over the win ner of the sweepstakes at 1902 Inter national Live Stock Exposition at Chi cago.

Elaborate Imported Gown An imported gown of reseda velvet has the skirt trimmed with bands of broadcloth in the same shade. The blouse bodice has a trimming of Persian embroidery, and it is made to close on the left side. It is shirred over the shoulders, the shirring extending to the sleeves, which are very full. The yoke and the under-sleeves are of white lace over pale green silk, and the top of the collar is of the same. For a Knockabout Suit A coarse scouring serge, in ivory white or navy blue, is the leading fabric for the useful knockabout suit. The skirt is invariably fashioned of serviceable walking length, while the corsage takes, as a general rule, a bolero movement, though many most successful costumes are completed by blouses Russian or sailor bodices. Informal TALKS. Pretty figured silks may be picked up at bargains now for house gowns later on. Kerosene will last longer and produce a better light if a lump of salt about the size of a walnut be placed in the reservoir of the lamp in which it is used. Chairs should be chosen for comfort as well as for appearance. The fragile ones that look as though they would collapse if a substantial person sat on them should be abolished from the modern home. When making cakes, try greasing the pans with olive oil instead of butter. You will find that the cakes turn out better. Stains on knives, however obstinate, will disappear if rubbed in a piece of raw potato dipped in brick dust. 1 GLEANINGS White promises to continue a winter fad. A wreath of green is worn on elaborate collures. Sleeves grow more voluminous from elbow to wrist. Petunia is to share the fuchsia rage in autumn colors. Bunches of red and white currants are a feature of the new millinery. In evening and tea gowns the fashions of the first empire are followed. A trimming of black velvet bowls is one of the prettiest of quaint revivals. A jeweled band of lace, fitting snugly like a dog collar, is worn with evening dress. Accordion plaited skirts and waists are one of the loveliest fashions of the hour. Jewelled reticules of golden links are carried at garden parties, theaters and all fashionable gatherings. The newest touch is to turn the deep shoulder collar up on each side upon the shoulder as though to leave the arms free. Peach Pudding. Pare and slice six ripe peaches; add to them one pint of sweet milk, one-half cupful of bread crumbs, two-thirds cupful of sugar, three eggs, yolks and whites beaten separately, a pinch of salt, and one-half teaspoonful each of cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir all together, then turn into a buttered pudding dish and bake till set. Serve hot with hard sauce or cold with sweetened cream. To remove mud stains from dark dresses dissolve a little carbonate of soda in water and wash the stains with it. Spot may also be removed from black dresses by washing with a very weak solution of ammonia. Irons should always be kept in a dry place. A convenient thing to keep under the set tubs or in some other out-of-the way corner is a soap box, into which may be placed the flat frons, holders, stand and wax cloth when not in use, says the Chicago News. Owen Daw Corp Bread. Take two teacups of boiled hominy and while hot mix with it a very large spoonful of butter; beat four eggs very light and stir them into the hominy; add a pint of milk, gradually stirred in, and a half pint of white corn meal; salt. The batter should be of the consistency of boiled custard. Bake with a good deal of heat at the bottom of the oven and not to much at the top. The pan should be deep. This bread is often baked in a milk pan. FALL GOWNS The gown at the left is of blue serge or cloth. The bolero is composed of many bands of the cloth, some finished at the ends with buttons, and is trimmed with colored galloon, of a sort of basket, or matting, weave. The collar and cuffs are of ermine, the cravat of black satin, and the draped girdle of blue velvet. The skirt, of walking length, is plaited all round to a plain hip yoke. The right-hand gown is of gray cloth. The bolero and odd sleeves, loose on the outside, are trim- For the Hat Season. When one's millinery shows the exercise of taste and thought it does a great deal toward beautifying a woman's face, and when it becomes merely a matter of display it loses its charm. The hat should be in harmony with the costume of the individual, or make artistic contrasts. The colors should also suit the complexion, and its shape be appropriate to the face. There are very few women who look well in every style and color. A becoming hat is the most beautiful ornament a woman wears. White Cloth Mantle. Mantle of white cloth incrusted with heavy gulpure of yellowish shade, fastened by a button covered with gulpure Pretty Petticoats. As to the shape of the popular petticoat, it is little changed, though the widening of the outside skirt must naturally soon effect an increase in the under one. The best gown skirts in the market are already very full in the back, and it is predicted that petticoats will soon be as wide as they have lately been narrow. Meanwhile, as everything is done to preserve the umbrella look of the getup, some of the tricks employed to achieve silmness are worthy of study. Where the thickness of the outside skirt admits of it many stoutly built figures go entirely without petticoats. Cloth and Chiffon. Cloth and chiffon seem an incongruous combination, yet they are occasionally made to harmonize perfectly. A plum-colored cloth gown is described with bodice and voluminous sleeves of chiffon of the same shade, both being trimmed with applications of leaves formed of the cloth. Plum color, by the way, is to be much seen in the autumn. It is one of the colors peculiarly suited to be worn with rich-hued autumn. Like brown and crimson, it tones in with the season. Athletic and Aesthetic. The athletic girl's corset is a comfortable girdle made of broad linen tape, stitched stoutly at every seam.

The little sleeve caps are also stitched.— Chic Parisien. MRS. LILLIAN T. JANEWAY, BRIDE OF SENATOR THOMAS C. PLATT OF NEW YORK Hendrik Among the many messages received by Senator Platt containing expressions of congratulation upon his approaching marriage to Mrs. Lillian T. Janeway is one written by Senator Depew, with which the prospective bridegroom is greatly pleased. The letter reads: "New York, Oct. 7, 1903—My Dear Platt: You have done the right thing. I speak from knowledge. It is a prevalent idea that in the evening of life when his friends are dropping away and his interests narrowing, a man should flock by himself. These croakers practically period for co-solitude. "There is a domestic preserve your stons, as with Cheerfulness, secret of hability to sun years. "Cordial co-healthy, joye the hearty w myself. Fail." "CHI" PLATT EVADED EVIL OMEN. New York Senator Changed Date of Wedding to Oct. 16. Senator Platt made a change in the date of his wedding, which had been set for Oct. 16. The veteran statesman discovered that this date was a Friday and he declined to risk placing himself under the power of the evil spirits who are said to have authority over that day. In this his bride, Mrs. Lillian T. Janeway of Washington, agreed with him. The wedding was set one day earlier. Mrs. Janeway is twice a widow. Her first husband was a Mr. Snow of whom nothing is known in Washington. Her second husband was Dr. Janeway of New York. After the death of Dr. Janeway the widow sought employment for herself and daughter, now 20 years of age, and through the influence of Senator Platt was given a place in the congressional library in 1897. Mrs. Janeway is considered one of the handsomest women in Washington. She is noted for her superb gowns and jewels. The senator and his wife will live at the Arlington hotel in Washington during the sessions of congress. Thoughtful Lieutenant Lleut. Rudolph Smyser, the youngest commissioned officer in any branch of the United States service, will shortly leave for the Philippines to join his regiment, the Fourth cavalry. Lleut. Smyser is not yet quite 21 years of age having been born in York, Pa., Dec. 5, 1882. At 16, being unusually well grown for his years, he intered the Pennsylvania volunteers, serving three years. Reloking, he went to the Philippines, where he distinguished himself. Later he became second lieutenant in a regiment of regular cavalry and last year was promoted to first lieutenant and assigned to the Fourth. Wants to Be Buried at Sea. Surgeon Brice, who sails on a trans-Atlantic line plying to New York, has crossed the ocean as ship's surgeon 804 times traveling 2,500,000 miles by sea, and hopes to make 903 trips before he retires. Dr. Brice is 75 years old but stout and hearty. "I can't understand the feeling people have against burial at sea," said the old surgeon. "For me that is the only burial I desire. A weight at my feet, then overboard into the sea, down among the fishes—that is good enough for me. May my last voyage be the one on which I die. I don't want my old body to rest on shore." Onnose Capital Punishment. Chief Justice Lore of Delaware, who has taken a decided stand against lynching, is opposed to capital punishment. "I would not take life for the commission of crime," he says, "but would put the criminal under such restraint as would protect the people and give him the full measure of his day to work out such penitence and reformation as all good influences might produce. Life is too sacred and too holy a thing to be taken. I would grant life so long as God spared each one of his creatures." ers practically preach that youth is the period for companionship, age for solitude. "There is no period when the home and domestic bliss is so necessary to preserve youth, its realities and illusions, as when one has passed 60. Cheerfulness not cheerlessness, is the secret of happy longevity. Susceptibility to surroundings increase with years. "Cordial congratulations and long, healthy, joyous lives to you both is the hearty wish of Mrs. Depew and myself. Faithfully yours." "BEATS" IN HIGH SOCIETY. Fashionable English People Do Not Pay their Bills. English society is facing the prospect of some of its leading members being placed on a court "blacklist" for neglecting to pay their tailor, dressmakers', grocers' and doctors' bills. A London firm of solicitors of excellent professional standing has taken up cases for several clients, with the view to placing them before the lord chamberlain, so that the defaulters no longer may enjoy the hospitality of the English court. A member of this firm says that a certain marchioness occupying a high position at court and who took a leading part in the ceremonies incidental to King Edward's coronation owes her dressmaker $25,000. The fashionable wife of a member of parliament is among the worst delinquents, having made away with or concealed costumes that are veritable works of art. MORGAN LOST HIS COAT. Wall Street King Got the Worst of Exchange. J. Pierpont Morgan was an active figure at the annual convention of the New York Protestant Episcopal diocese. The day was a trifle cool and Mr. Morgan wore an overcoat worth $100. At any rate, that was what his tailor had charged him for the garment. When the session came to an end Mr. Morgan left in a hurry and did not discover until an hour or so later that he had carried off some other man's coat—a rather shabby booking affair it was too. The only thing he could find in the pockets was a well-chewed toothpick. The owner has not yet claimed the property, perhaps because he is well satained with the trade. Herman Wouters, a citizen of Jersey City, has just returned home from a visit to Germany, his native country. He had gone to see his parents at Kempen, and hearing that he was to be arrested on the charge of shirking military duty he hurriedly said good by, mounted his motor cycle and started for the Holland boundary line. And not a minute too soon, for a mounted German policeman was in chase of him. Wouters' gasoline began to give out, but he just managed to cross the line where the German officer was halted. The fugitive lost no time in reaching Antwerp where he took the first steamer for New York. Man Was Strangely Formed. Joseph Meyer, a Milwaukee harnees-maker, who attracted a great deal of attention from physicians some years ago because of the unusual location of his heart, is dead. The heart failed to do its work at last, although until a few hours before his death he appeared to be as well as ever. Not only was his heart on the right side in the exact location where it should have been on the left, but the positions of all of his internal organs were in just the opposite positions to which they are found in the average man.

Read the following case: Veteran Joshua Heller, of 706 South Walnut street, Urbana, IL, says: "In the fall of 1899 after getting Doan's Kidney Pills at Cunningham Bros' drug store in Champaign and taking a course of treatment I told the readers of the paper that they had relieved me of kidney trouble, disposed of a lame back with pain across my loins and beneath the shoulder blades. During the interval which had elapsed I have had occasion to resort to Doan's Kidney Pills when I noticed warnings of attack. On each and every occasion the results obtained were just as satisfactory as when the pills were first brought to my notice. I just as emphatically endorse the preparation to day as I did over two years ago."

She remembered that she had been married to somebody. Besides, Chicago is a noisy, distracting city, where even married people both alive have forgotten that they were married. Oldest Ferry. Perhaps the oldest ferry in the world is the cross-channel service from Calais to Dover. It has been in existence for more than twenty centuries and the vessels which have been engaged in it include every variety of shipping, from Caesar's high-peaked galleys, propelled by banks of oars, to the new turbine steamer. imports from abroad; American imports from Sheffield, England, last year, were worth $2,242,000, an increase of $145,000 over the year previous, but only $811,000 of this was for manufactured goods, the bulk being steel sheets, bars and plates. Farming in Alaska Large sections of Alaska are suited for farming and gardening. Such crops as oats, wheat, rye, barley and flax have been raised and vegetables — potatoes, turnips, beets, peas, celery, cte, grow in abundance. ORIGIN. Of a Famous Human Food. The story of great discoveries or inventions is always of interest. An active brain worker who found himself hampered by lack of bodily strength and vigor and could not carry out the plans and enterprises he knew how to conduct was led to study various foods and their effects upon the human system. In other words before he could carry out his plans he had to find a food that would carry him along and renew his physical and mental strength. He knew that a food that was a brain and nerve builder, (rather than a more fat maker), was universally needed. He knew that meat with the average man does not accomplish the desired results. He knew that the soft gray substance in brain and nerve centers is made from Albumen and Phosphate of Potash obtained from food. Then he started to solve the problem. Careful and extensive experiments evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous food. Grape-Nuts contain the brain and nerve building food elements in condition for easy digestion. The result of eating Grape-Nuts daily is easily seen in a marked sturdiness and activity of the brain and nervous system, making it a pleasure for one to carry on the daily duties without fatigue or exhaustion. The food is in no sense a stimulant but is simply food which renews and replaces the daily waste of brain and nerves. Its flavor is charming and being fully and thoroughly cooked at the factory it is served instantly with cream. ing and being cooked at instantly with The signature of spoken of, C. W. P on each genuine Nuts. The signature of the brain worker spoken of, C. W. Poole, is to be seen on each genuine package of Grape-Nuts.

A race that has at all times been patriotic and loyal to their country, that has never been accused of treason and has always obeyed the call to arms can't be wholly bad. What with the trusts' investigations, boodle investigations and investigations of mobbings and lynchings, evil doers of high and low degree will alike be compelled to recognize the fact that laws are made to be respected and not broken. It is said that Mayor Reed has permitted the splendid accumulating of holes in the asphalt streets to continue uninterruptedly in order to demonstrate to the rock-ribbed brothel from the rock-ribbed counties who may chance to attend Carnival how little his honor's rusticity has been affected by having twice been elected mayor of this growing metropolis. President Roosevelt believes in merit, denounces lynch law in the most emphatic terms, defends equality among government employees and politely intimates to the labor unions that he is president of all the people of the United States. The president's policy, when carefully weighed, is found to be very just and his administration has been conducted in a manner wherein mistakes have not been allowed to creep in. In handling great and important matters affecting the nation, much care and forethought have been exercised and the result is that he is admired and esteemed by the American people regardless of political faith. Senator Morgan of Alabama, says that he favors the incorporation of an Anti-Negro planks in the next Democratic platform and this let the world know that the party is opposed to the negro in any way exercising government affairs. While it may be truthfully said that the world has never had need to doubt the hostility of the Democratic party toward the black man, yet it may serve a good purpose after all in that it may undeceive those poor deluded mortals of the present generation known as Negro Democrats and who hgre been laboring under the halucination that it was not the Republican party that freed us.

A great deal of concern regarding the development of the Negro schools of Kansas City is being exercised by the good citizens and patrons, both white and colored, of this community. The advancement of the Negro schools seems to have been kept at a minimum for a number of years, which condition remains the same at the present time. It appears to be hope against hope and encouragement is on the hill. There must be a leakage somewhere and to say the least it is about time that some indication of the advancement of the Negro schools be made. The matter should be agitated until the fault is discovered and the cause removed. Among other things, one of the most important to be observed is the selection of teachers, in fact, it is assumed by many of the patrons that very little care has been directed in this essential feature of precaution toward the proper development of the Negro schools. In this respect the board of education could help matters by requiring rigid and strong credentials as to the character, worth and ability of those offering their services in the schoolroom. It is said that in many cases where the question of employing Negro teachers or retaining some of the old ones came up, the school board would allow its selection to be guided by the circumstances surrounding the applicant—and the appointment made upon the basis of sympathy. The exercise of such a policy is not helpful to our schools, on the other hand, it is very harmful and if such were continued, ten years hence would find the Negro schools in the same condition they have been for ten years past and are at thi stime. A careful weeding out of incompetents would help matters, while the exercise of rigid inquiry into the character of some of our teachers, followed by a prompt removal of those found to be wanting, would inject an air of purity in the Negro school-room. All teachers should keep themselves in a position to refute any reports damaging to their character, for where there is much smoke, a careful investigation will reveal the fire. The public would be glad to have the Board of Education consider this matter. There seems ta be a prevailing disposition on the part of the business interests regardless of politics to think that placing bonds in the hands of the present Democratic City Administration would be much the same as pouring water into the proverbial rat hole. A good name, a disposition and will to work and to save, plenty of good common sense, added to what learning in books one is able to acquire, will discount a thousand theories on "How to Solve the Negro Problem." In view of the above facts, the homely injunction, "Lay dead and saw wood," could never be more advantageously employed. It will be interesting to know just what argument our colored brethren who have heretofore supported the Democratic party in general and Mayor Reed in particular will use to show why the latter should be elected governor. The best and wisest thing for American Negroes to do today is to keep to himself from a laborer's standpoint, make friends with the intelligent and better class of white people, trust the God that brought him out of the southern bondage, and last, but not least, by preparation with his face toward the enemy, standing like a brave man and die only in the last ditch in defence of right. LET THE COURTS PUNISH NEGRO CRIMINALS. J. B. Gibbs who was on trial in the Criminal Court for murder in the first degree, was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. Gibbs was tried for the killing of Edward Moore several months ago by shooting him in the back. The verdict was a surprise to everyone in the testimony of the witnesses, indicated that the shooting of this man was avoidable, and the fact that the democracy of this community refuses to punish negroes for crime, is a very dangerous condition of affairs so far as the Negro race is concerned. Judge Woffords words of advice, given when sentencing Gibbs were appropriate and if the courts were to punish negroes who commit crimes and who run hell joints the operation of which is calculated to make criminals of the worst type. Judge Wofford would not have occasion to lecture the Negro race every time he sentences anego. Gibbs was indented with a "social" club, the kind that is a curse and injury to the Negroes of this community. The "clubs" have rolled up handsome majorities for the Democracy—and this fact explains the action o the courts in dealing justice (?) to negro criminals.

"It was just ten years ago this summer—I wasn't on the road then. Tod Rogers and I worked for Wascutt & Wassam at M—. He and some of the other fellows used to go out on a Saturday night, to Hawk Lake, to fsh. flirt, and take it easy." The speaker was one of several traveling men who occupied the rear end of the smoking car. The others had told their stories; now it was Burnett's turn. He looked hard at the window casing and drew a deep sigh, relighted his cigar and resumed: "Boys, they say traveling men have no hearts; here is one who has. I don't often relate personal affairs, but some way I think I will tell you this. You are all my friends. Well, it isn't so much after all—but, of course, it is a great deal to me." "I wasn't married then. I often heard Tod and the others speak of more than one pleasant evening or Sunday spent at the Lake with beautiful Nell. I learned that there wasn't a man in the office who wasn't interested in her. "When my curiosity got the better of me, I began to ask about her. They invited me out for over Sunday—that is, Tod did. Now until that time, I can honestly say that I never was, nor even thought I was, in love. The boys weren't afraid of me; I had not the means to keep a wife, and I wasn't looking for one! however, I did want to see Nell." "Her parents had died when she was very young, and ever since, she had lived with an old couple at Crescent, the little village on Hawk Lake. They had thought a great deal of her father and mother, and had brought her up. Well, it was decided that I should go out on this particular Saturday with Tod; he was an old friend of the Fraziers, where Nell lived. I knew the warm spot in his heart for her. "As we stepped from the train he pulled my coat sleeve and spoke in a low tone; 'There she is with Mrs. Frazier; they always come to the train to meet me!' I was so struck with her appearance that I had to be reminded that the carriage was waiting. Perhaps the bystanders took me for an idiot or a dummy, for, though I had a picture of Nell in my mind. I had not seen her. I will not attempt to describe her eyes. Her hair was of a light golden brown—well, about the color of a blond, but with those dark eyes, and her figure—I never saw a more perfect form. Oh, well, hang it! What's the use? I can't describe her; I won't try!" Several of the listening men smiled and coughed a little, but Burnett raised his hand with a gesture that silenced them, saying: "Don't, boys! You wouldn't if you knew! O, the glory of that Sunday at the lake with her! "On a certain Monday morning, about three weeks later, Ted was cross At noon he came to me with a black look on his face, and sullen. At noon he came to me with a black look on his face. 'Paul,' he said, 'I overheard you and Mr. Frazier in conversation over Nell yesterday. What do you mean? Aren't you rather hasty?' Then I, too, got into a temper and replied that I knew what I was about; I also told him that I had gained the consent of the old folks and Nell was mine—or soon would be. "They were poor, and although Nell was dear to them, still she was one more mouth to feed. They hated to lose her, but they were glad I cared for her, and she, too, had grown fond of me, in the many visits I had made to their home. They had always expected it would be Tod. but, poor boy, he couldn't save enough to rent three rooms on the alley; much less could he afford to keep Nell as I could, and I couldn't do much. "On one particular morning I informed Tod that I was taking a two weeks' vacation, and was going out this very evening to claim my precious prize. He and I had some hot words; I saw anger and regret written on his face as he turned on his heel and walked away. I couldn't really afford this step I was taking, but I had a little money saved as a starter. Besides my desire for Nell, there was an old quarrel of seven years' standing between Tod and me, and I determined to get even if I had to wait till my dying day, though outwardly we were friendly. "We didn't have a big wedding——" Burnett wiped the corner of his eye. "She had been mine—all mine—for one whole week! Boys—remember—I was young—and happy." "It was on the seventh day; Tod had gone home at noon; no one knew why, and no one especially cared. When I went home at night—Nell was I 'phoned to Tod. gone! absolutely gone! I called, went to the neighbors, 'phoned everywhere; she was simply gone. I 'phoned to Tod; his brother answered. Tod had taken the four-thirty train, eastbound, for Canada. When I asked if he was alone and what he went for, Jack hung up the 'phone. David T. Beala. Geo. R. Barse. Edward George. "My head was in a whirl. No, I wouldn't openly accuse him, but I must think! I hired detectives; I nearly went crazy! "Two days went by, and no results. I had advertised in all the papers, but mentioned no name in connection with her. "On the third day, toward evening, I left the house by the back door to go across lots; this was a short cut through a vacant lot, overgrown with all sorts of brush and matted with grapevine and woodbine. I had done all in my power, and was now on my way to my friend and private detective. I was pushing on, when I stumbled over something. I stopped down, frantically tearing away the brush, and—Oh heavens!—boys—spare me the rest! There lay my poor lost Nell—dead!" Burnett paused; there was not a dry eye among the group of listeners, but they were all silent, waiting for him to continue. Burnett burst into a roar of laughter. A thrill of horror shook every man. Had he gone mad? "Yes, boys; the horse-doctor said she died of colic. She had broken her halter and crawled off there to die. Poor thing! and I had spent my last dollar to buy her!" WOULD NEED TIME TO ANSWER. Why Friend Feared for Result of Actor's Prayer. Luke Martin is not a praying man, but he has, nevertheless, a touch of religious sentiment, and now and then, and particularly when he is in trouble, he looks for the guidance and the support of a higher power. This occurred when Mr. Martin accepted his engagement with "Robert Emmet." He had absolutely no hope of "eating up" the part, for the very good reason that he hadn't digested it at all thoroughly at rehearsals, and he was greatly perturbed as to the result of his performance. Consequently when one of his fellow players good naturely slipped him upon the back before the curtain went up the first night and inquired as to his state of being. Martin replied somewhat earnestly: "Well, I don't know, old man, how I'm ever coming through, but I have prayed earnestly for success." "You have done what?" demanded the surprised interrogator. "I have prayed for success," declared Martin, not at all pleased at the doubtful tone of his friend. "Don't you believe you get things you pray for?" "I do," promptly answered the other; "faith, and I do, Luke. But it's so darned seldom that you trouble them in heaven with your prayers I'm thinking they will be too surprised to answer you without two weeks' notice." —Chicago Inter Ocean. Had Quit Preaching. Congressman Bellamy of North Carolina tells of a colored preacher in his state who left preaching to engage in more remunerative work. Meeting him one day the congressman asked him if he was still preaching in the little cabin on the hill. "No, sah," was the reply, "I am engaged in the textile industry; it's more lucrative than pastorzin', sah." "You've gone to work in the cotton mill at Charlotte, I take it," said the congressman. "No, sah," replied the ex-minister; "Tse sellin' a book of texts for ministers, with helps for their elushidation."—Philadelphia Ledger.

Copyrighted, 1903, by The ```markdown ``` Job Allison straightened himself from his stooped position, leaned upon his scythe and looked critically at his interrogator. "What kin ye do?" The young man placed his hand upon the top rail of the fence and sprang lightly over, saying carelessly: "Oh, almost anything." Again the farmer scrutinized him from head to foot. His lip gave a slightly disdainful curl as he said, sarcastically: "You'll find a scythe hangin' in that tree yander; git it an' see ef ye kin keep outen my way." The young man soon returned, and taking the proffered scythe-stone from Job's hand, drew it along the edge of the blade with a regularity, rapidity, and recklessness that made Job's eyes open. Then, swinging into position, he asked, "Ready?" Farmer Allison nodded, rolled his sleeves a bit higher, spat upon his hands, and ordered: "Lead out." The stranger "led out" with a pace job Allison had not tackled in twenty years. For a dozen rods their scythes swung with perfect rhythm. Then the young man's athletic training came into play and in a few moments Allison's paintings sounded in his ears like the puffs of a receding locomotive and, finally ceased. As he threw his scythe out, at the end, Allison turned and looked at the swath, straight as a line; the path smooth, clean and regular, then again critically eyed the stranger. Job had always prided himself on not being "one of them fellers whose tongues wag twice to their brains once." He was not quite satisfied with the answer, yet there was that mysterious something about this man that checked further inquiry. "Well, John, ye kin stay." Three years later he had learned these facts about that hired man: He was an indefatigable worker, an expert farmer, honest, reliable, and his name was "John." Up to ten years before the coming of John, Job had been a prosperous farmer. A few bad moves on the market chessboard, a few scourgings in Solomon's school, learning that "He that is a surety for a stranger shall smart for it," and his fine three-hundred acre farm had dwindled to sixr "I tell you.

Why, Marier, she's that ashamed of him she won't even tell his name." Mrs. Allison soldon argued with Job on knotty points. It didn't pay. Be-side, she knew that Martha usually had her way. "They hain't no use talkin'," he continued. "I've worked nigh on to fifty year a-gittin' this farm, an' I purpose ter leave it to Martha ef--understan', Maria -- "Need some help?" "What kln ye do?" "If what, papa?" Martha's gray eyes, brimming over with laughter, completely upset her father's equilibrium as she seated herself at the breakfast table. "Why, I was jest a tellin' yer ma—that is, I was jest a-sayin'—or, reether, I was juest a-goin' to say, ef you warn't too dead sad about the feller, as how, mebby, it 'ud be better fer you to wait a little while afores you git married.

Strode up and down in a torrent of passion. couple of years, mebby—Hugh Danely 'ud—" "I'll never marry Hugh Danely." "By jeominy, you shall." "I will not." Their eyes met; his determined, hers defiant. He laid his knife and fork beside his plate, wiped his mouth upon the corner of the tablecloth, and shaking his finger at her threateningly, said: "Martha, I don't allow no child of mine to disobey me. If you don't want to mind, you kin go. You understand?' She did understand; there was no mistaking his meaning now; he was desperately in earnest. She arose from her seat, pale and trembling. It was the last day of her annual six weeks' vacation. For five years she had held a position in the Pension department at Washington, and during this period her father, through mercenary motives, had persistently used his influence to bring about a union between his daughter and Hugh Danely, a wealthy, but profligate young man, who held a lien upon his remaining property. To Danely's woolings and her father's importunities she had turned a deaf ear, pleading time in which to decide this momentous question. An hour later, as she stood waiting for a conveyance to take her to the station, her father said: 'Marthy, I'd like to know what you've done with all yer wages in these five years. I rockon ye ain't got no objections to tellin'?' "Oh! certainly not," she replied; "I have loaned the money to that 'pig-headed farmer', who is spending it on his education." "The devil you did! Then it's my opinion—" The slam of the carriage door and the rattle of wheels, caused that valuable opinion to "lose its sweetness on the desert air." Fifteen years before, he had stood on those steps watching the receding form of a young boy, an adopted child, until it was lost in the gloom of gathering darkness. For some trivial offense he had driven this youth from him to battle alone with the world. A few minutes later a little girl hurried down the road, and throwing her arms around the boy's neck, begged him to return. But no, John Allen Wilberton would make his own way through life, and some day—ah, how young and old delight to feast upon those delicious, though deceptive, promises of "some day." "Going! Going! Going!" Job Allison realized that the little home, for which he had given the best years of his life, was surely slipping from him. He had written Madma, asking her pardon for his hasty words, and begging her to reconsider her decision, and, by marrying Hugh Daniel, save her aged parents from the humiliation of the "poor farm." With his ear open to every sound of the auctioneer's voice, he paced nervously up and down the room. Would his letter reach her in time? And would she answer favorably? For the hundredth time he stopped and looked anxiously down the road. "Gone!" Job's head sank upon his breast as he exclaimed, in the Kitterness of depair, "I will laugh at your calamity." He felt that this was a just retribution for his heartless cruelty toward little "Al" and Martha. Great was his surprise to learn that, through a purchasing agency, the property had fallen to John, who had left his service a few days previous. Sitting on his front porch, with head bowed in abject, hopeless despondency. Martha's belated reply was handed him. With reviving hope and trembling fingers, he tore it open. Its first sentence caused his heart to sink. It read: "Dear Papa—I freely forgive you but cannot accommodate you by marry Hugh." He threw the inoffensive bit of paper down and set his foot upon it as if to crush it out of existence. He strode up and down in a torrent of passion, muttering vengeance on the whole human race. As his anger subsided his mood changed. His mind went back to the time when there was no happier home than that of Job Allison's. His mind wandered to the village churchyard, where lay four of his loved ones. Martha was the only child left to him, and he had tried to barter away her honor and her happiness. A choking sensation came into his throat and the hot tears coursed down his aged cheeks as he remembered that he had no longer a home to which he could ever again welcome her. His eyes rested upon the unfinished letter; he picked it up and read: "Will be home to-morrow, to stay. Have just married the 'pig-headed farmer,' the boy whom you drove from home fifteen years ago. He calls himself 'John.'" HIS SMOOTH TALK WASTED Book Agent's Wiles Lest on the Strong-Eyed Woman The sad-faced young man knocked timidly at the door of the house, and presently it was opened by a woman with a stony eye. "I—I beg your pardon," said the sad-faced young man in confusion. "I see I have made a slight mistake. As a matter of fact, I have here a most remarkable work on 'How to Become Beautiful and Remain So.' It's price is $1, and—— But I can see, madam, that such a work would be useless to you who have the secret already. Perhaps, however, there may be another of your sex in this house to whom the priceless book would be of value? "Yes," said she of the stony eye; "there is." And she disappeared. In a few moments she returned, and with her came a fifty-pound bulldog, with bay-window teeth. The sad-eyer young man slid down those steps like a thunderbolt in strict training, and as he flew he heard the voice of the stony-faced woman: "This is the only one in this book's any good to. Next time you come, talk to her, and don't try blatheskiing me. I'm too tough!" BOUND TO HAVE HER WAY. Woman Comes From the Grave to See Promise Is Kent. A remarkable ghost story is told in the parish of Burton Agnes, England. There years ago lived three sisters of the name of Boynton. The youngest of the three exacted the promise from the others that on her death her head should be placed on a table in the hall. She met with an accident shortly after, which resulted in her death, her sisters neglected their promise to her and she was buried, head and all. But on the night after the burial the hall was thrown into terrible confusion and the dead lady appeared to her sisters with her head under her arm. She upbraided them with their neglected promise and, placing the head on the table, disappeared. In the morning the head was still there and on the coffin being dug up the body was found to be headless. Any attempt to remove the head was followed by disturbances during the night. It was even buried at a distance from the house, but was restored by the ghost. Eventually the head disappeared, but the disturbances continue nightly in the hall. The Meeting of the Ships Two barks met on the deep mid-sea, When calmals had stilled the tide; A few bright days of summer glee There found them side by side. And voices of the fair and brave Rose mingling thence in mirth; And sweetly floated 'er the wave The melodies of earth. Moonlight on that lone Indian main cloudless and lovely slept; When stitching in a fective strain Each deck in triumph swept. And hands were linked, and answering eaves; With kindly meaning shone; O, brief and passing sympathies, Like leaves together blown! A little while such joy was cast Over the deep's repose. Till the loud singing winds at last Like trumpet music rose. And proudly, freely on their way The parting vessels bore; In calm or storm, by rock or bay, To meet—O, nevermore! Never to blend in victory's cheer, To aid in hours of woe; And thus bright splits mingle here, Side by side, formed below. —Flecha Hemma CHINA PORT OF NICHTMONT WI. J.

Marquis Yamagata. WAR NOW SEEMS CERTAIN. Conflict Between Russia and Japan Expected by the Powers. Advices from the far east state that M. Lessar, the Russian minister at Pekin, has formally announced that the Manchurian convention has lapsed. This tearing up of a formal treaty apparently means that Russia has arrived at the point where she feels secure in defying Japan as well as the powers by retaining her hold In Manchuria. The news from Port Arthur, coming from Chefoo, directly across the gulf, seems to indicate that Japan and Russia are perilously near to hostilities. A recent dispatch from Chefoo stated that the Russian fleet, ninety warships in all, had cleared from Port Arthur, and that it was expected that Japan would declare hostilities on the expiration of her ultimatum to Russia. It was also reported that Japan was landing troops at Ma-San-Pho, and that Russia had embarked a number of field guns at Port Arthur for an unknown destination. A dispatch to the London Morning Port from Chefoo says: "The situation is unchanged. All is quiet at Port Arthur. Hostilities are still believed to be imminent. There is an exodus of Chinese merchants from the Yalu valley. They are arriving at Chefoo." A Singapore dispatch says that the British admirals of the China, Australian and East Indian squadrons have arrived at that port and will confer aboard H. M. S. Glory to discuss the questions of naval concentration and strategy in the far east. It is pointed out that Japan is within her treaty rights in landing troops at Mo San-Pho, as Corea has conceded Japan a piece of territory there in connection with the building of a railway, Russia, therefore, cannot assume that the landing of troops there is an act of war. The declaration by Russia that the Manchurian convention has lapsed will excite but langual interest in London, as her refusal to withdraw her troops on Oct. 8, as she agreed, was considered practically an abrogation of the treaty. The Manchurian convention between Russia and China was signed on April 8, 1902, and according to it the evacuation of the three Manchurian provinces was to be carried out in three successive periods of six months from the signing of the convention. A note from M. Lessar was appended to the convention, declaring that "if the Chinese government, notwithstanding the assurances given by it, violates any provision of the convention, the Russian government will not hold itself bound either by the terms of the Manchurian agreement or by the declarations previously made in connection with the matter, and will be compelled to repudiate any responsibility and consequences that might result therefrom." China was to be permitted to retain whatever force she thought necessary in Manchuria after the evacuation of that territory. Russia also agreed that, if Tien Tsin was restored to the Chinese within the first six months, to evacuate New Chwang at the time this restoration was made. The allies turned over Tien Tsin to the Chinese Aug. 15 last year. The convention was to have been ratified within three months, but this was not done. Last month M. Lessar, in his note to the Chinese foreign board, promised to begin the evacuation of Manchuria Oct. 8, provided China accepted several conditions, which China has refused to do, under pressure principally from Japan and Great Britain. Senator Quay's Birthday. Senator Matthew Stanley Quay was 70 years old last week and at his home in Beaver, Pa., he received shoals of pleasant messages from all over the country. Believing it would be a busy day, he arose a couple of hours earlier than usual and took an eight-mile stroll before breakfast. In the forenoon he appeared in court to give his opinion as to the value of a piece of property which was in dispute. After lunch he held an informal levee and in the evening presided at a family dinner. LABOUCHERE HAS SEEN MUCH Long and Varied Career of Famous London Editor. Perhaps the most interesting man in London is Henry Labouchere editor of Truth, "the perennial gamin," as T. P. O'Connor calls him. "When you look into his face," says Mr. O'Connor, "it is difficult to believe your ears when he speaks to you of the America that existed before the civil war; when he talks to you of Daniel Webster as of an intimate acquaintance, and when he recalls long evenings he spent in beer saloons at Frank foot with Bismarck, when Bismarck was better known for the voracity of his apetite and the opulence of his power of drinking than for his more important gifts. There is something weld, is there not, in the life of a man who has seen so much of Europe and of a life that has passed as irrevocably away as though it were Noah and the ark, who has himself lived so many lives and passed through so many phases and careers, and who yet to-day is young enough to be as deeply interested as the ouest M. in a general election or a parliamentary intrigue?" KNEW MANY FAMOUS MEN. Recently Deceased English Woman a Link With the Past. Miss Horace Smith, who died recently at Brighton, England, had memories literary and otherwise which went back a very long way indeed. She was a remarkable link with the past. The Atheneum says of her: "Her grandfather had hunted with Louis XV, her uncle had met Dr Johnson and she herself was probably the last person living who remembered Keats, having seen, as a child, the poet in her father's garden at Fulham. Although she steaaffly declined to be interviewed or to put her recollections into print, she was famous among her friends for her store of anecdotes and animated flow of conversation. To her father, of "Rejected Addresses" fame, she owed her youthful acquaintance with many of the celebrities of the time and she inherited his warm friendship with Thackery, with whose daughter, Mrs Ritchie, she was intimate to the last." Wants Pointers on Horse Breeding. Prof. K. Imai, a naturalist attached to the Imperial University of Tokio, Japan, is to study the Kentucky horse. He has been studying horse-breeding for several years in England, Germany and France and comes here from England. He was sent here from England by the government of Japan to study the Kentucky horse and will visit the principal horse-breeding establishments in and around Fayette county. He says that there are sixteen government stock tarms in his country which are used for the purpose of breeding horses to be used by the cavalry of Japan, and his study of the Kentucky horse is to further the breed in Japan for military purposes. Ask Recognition for Pioneer Those descendants of Conrad Weisler who live in Pennsylvania will urge the next legislature to make provision for a monument over his neglected grave in Womelsdorf, near Reading Weisler is remembered as the pioneer Pennsylvania-German settler. In colonial times he was prominent as Indian interpreter, trader and justice, being the first resident judge of what is now Berks county. One of his daughters married Rev. Dr. Henry Melechior Muhlenberg, father of the Lutheran church in this country, and from this union descended a long line of men distinguished in politics, law and the ministry.

It was Miss—of a Western city, visiting friends in New York, who, on being asked what kind of music she preferred after dinner, said naively and with amazing confidence, "I just dote on Beethoven's sympathies; do, Professor, play some of them." On a Limited Train to California. Luxurious service between the East and California has come to stay. Each year the equipment on the leading trans-continental lines is a little better than the year before. The traveling public demand the best and are willing to pay for it. The Santa Fe announces that daily service of its California Limited train for season of 1903-1904 will be resumed November 29; until then it is semi-weekly. The California Limited runs between Chicago on the East, and Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco on the west—a straight-away flight of more than two thousand miles. The time to Los Angeles is less than three days from Chicago. The route is through New Mexico and Arizona, south of the region of heavy snows, and traversing a land of enchantment, where the traveler sees Indian pueblos, canyons a mile deep and peaks two miles high. The train itself comprises compartment, observation and drawing-room Pullmans, dining-car and buffet-smoker. Equipment as fine as money can buy, and service absolutely highest class. Perhaps the meals, under management of Mr. Harvey, are the most notable feature of the California Limited. They have a national reputation and are faultless. The fact that this is the eighth season for the Limited ought to mean something to travelers who seek the best way to reach California. Tuberculosis in Fish. That fishes and frogs may have tuecerculosis has been demonstrated in the Pasture institute in Paris. This is no cause for alarm, however, for they are found only in the intestinal organs, would be killed in cooking anyway, and bacillus reared in a cold-blooded animal could not thrive if transferred to man. "The question of labor is really assuming a serious aspect," says Lord Alfred Milner, governor of the British South African colonies, "in public works in the Transvaal, British labor unions will probably prevent the use of alien labor."

They are not a three fold repetition of a single thought. ‘They are rather an announcement of the three successive stages in the up- ward progress of the one law of de- siring and obtaining. These steps are not interchangeable. Seeking 1s not asking. Knocking is neither asking nor seeking. Asking is desire; seek- Ing is desire in action; knocking ts active desire concentrated upon @ definite purpose and plan. The words of the text are, we be Heve, not the language of a “char. acter” in fiction, but an utterance of Christ Jesus, Two of their most {m- pressive qualities are their unques- tioning confidence and their unlimited scope. There is no suggestion in them of doubt of the reality of the law; no hint of a limit to the law in time, or in space, or in the nature of things. Ask, seek, knock, at any and you shall receive, you shall find, {t shall be opened to you. Painful or pleasant, good or what is thought to ‘be evil, what you wish for, what you look for, what you work for you shall bave. The Tesson of the reality and tho aniversality of the law of desiring and obtaining is hard to be learned. Like other hard lessons of human life, this Is to be learned only by experience, Man gets opinion and belief from ob: servation, Experience alone brings knowledge. When one has seen the fulfillment of a law of God's kingdom in his own life he knows that the Iaw is real, This is the foundation of his faith in the law and in the God ex. presed in the law. His faith, too, ts the real faith, which results from real understanding, which grows out of real knowledge acquired by man in his own individual experience. No argument can shake such faith, No denial can destroy it. Once attained it is Immortal. From the point of view of human experience there was nothing peculiar im the earthly existence of Jesus Christ. Tested at all points as all humanity is tested, Jesus found what all humanity finds—tho knowledge that results from experience, the understanding that accompanies knowledge, the power, the faith, the love that come from understanding. He came into this world a baby grop ing after power, with almost aimless hands. At the end of his experience on earth he went out from his cross the God-man Indued with all power % earth and in heaven. Because we believe that the faith of Jesus in the reality and tho universality of the Jaw of desiring and obtaining was ar outgrowth from: his experience and that his experience was in no essen tial particular peculiar to himself we believe the law to be as real for all as it was for him, as real for our selves as it {s for all others. More than this, wo ourselves grow inte actual faith in the reality of the law because wo find it fulfilled in our own experience, whether in the goo which we have desired to do or in the mistakes which we have undoubted! made. Whatever 4e may be doing, there fore, wherever we may be doing it wo will have faith that God gives te those who ask and seek and knock and that if we desire them and seek them and knock for them wo shal recetve in due time—that is, In God's ood time, all good things—all th knowledge, all the understanding, al faith, and all the love of whict the wisdom, all the power, all th bumanity is capable!

It is simply astonishing how much an: noyances may be found in the course of every day's living, if one only keeps a sharp eye out on that side of things. Even Holy Writ says we are prone to trouble as the sparks fly up ward. But even to the sparks flying upward, in the blackest of smoke there is a blue sky above; and the less time they waste on the road, the sooner they will reach it. Fretting 1s all time wasted on the road.—Heler Hunt, Carrying One's Cross, Life is not easy for any one, and to many people it is very hard. They are carrying every ounce of burden they can possibly carry. ‘They some- times almost totter beneath their heavy load, Now suppose that, in- stead of saying cheering words to these people, heartening words which would put new hope and courage into their spirit, we do nothing but critt- cize them, find fault with them, speak In harsh, unloving way of them; what is the effect upon them? It can only be hurtful. It makes their load all the heavier. Or, rather, it takes out of their heart the enthustasm, the hope, the courage, and makes it harder for them to go on, “Carrying one’s cross" means sim- ply that you are to go on the road which you see to be the straight one; carrying whatever you find is given to you to carry, as well and as stoutly as you can; without making any faces or calling people to look at you. Above all, you are neither to load nor unload yourself, nor eut your cross to your own liking, But all you have really to do is to keep your back as straight as you can, and not think about what 14 on it; above all, not to boast of what is on it, ‘The real and essential mean: ing of virtue Is in that straightness of the back.—John Ruskin, “Fear Not!"” No feeling {s more common among men than fear, The bravest soldiers have confessed that on entering into battle they have trembled with terror. Not a few people whose courage has stood tho severest tests, have beea afraid of such trifles as going alone Into a dark room, The vice that can say with authority, “Fear not!” {s sure to be welcomed by all who hear it, That voice speaks to us again and again in the Bible. No book stills our fears like this, It bids us not to be afraid of life with all its difficulties and sorrows and temptations. It as sures us that One is standing beside us who will make us more than con- querors. In the presence of death, too, we hear the same voice uttering its mes: sage of cheer and encouragement. No earthly friend however loving, can go down with us into the grave, But the Savior will not suffer us to go alone even there. He will go with us and drive away the terrors of death from before us. More than life or death do many fear the judgment to come. But that solemn event no follower of Christ has any reason to dread.
