A generation has passed since the Negro was placed on an equality, before the law, with the whites. Instead of approaching nearer together, the sp between the whites and negroes is older to-day than it was forty years ago. Why this increasing divergence? While slavery existed there was a strong feeling of sympathy, in the north, for the Negro. When he was freed and placed on a legal equality with the white man, this sympathy gradually faded away and the Negro left to stand on his real merits, like all other races. Under these conditions the lack of affinity between the two races becomes more evident every day. The feeling of antipathy against the Negro is stronger in the North to-day than it is in the South. No intelligent, close observer of passin gevents can fail to realize that we can never form a homogenous nation of whites and Negroes. An unwritten law has governed this country ever since the first settlements at Jamestown and Plymouth Rock. That law is that white men shall rule America. This law has been rigidly enforced against the Indian, the Negro, the Chinaman. Right or wrong, this sentiment is as strong to-day as ever before, and is growing stronger. When Chinese labor seemed to be in the way of white labor Dennis Kearney and his sand-lotters in San Francisco, raised the cry, "The Chinese must go," and kept it up until Chinese immigration was prohibited. When Negro labor shall seem to be in the way of white labor, the Negro will be pressed to the wall. The condition is growing worse and the people are asking the question, "What can be done?" Our great statesmen seem to be unable to even suggest a remedy. And now, oh, my countrymen, there comes before me a beautiful vision: I see a vast stretch of country, an immense valley with a highly river flowing through it, with broad, rich, alluvial plains on either side, stretching far away to the foot-hills and slopes that extend on and up to the summit of vast mountain ranges to the north, the west and the south of the great valley. The scene is grand and sublimely beautiful. I stt away up near the crest of these lofty mountain ranges, little springs of water breaking out and trickling down the mountain side sin small rivulets; and as they descend they unite with other little streamlets and finally creeks and other streams are formed until they reach the valley in rivers and when all are united they form the grand central river that rolls on with irresistible force to the great ocean beyond. The vision is typical of the solution of the Negro problem. And now the scene changes on to another branch. I see that the enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine, which now means that all foreign powers must keep hands off of all American territory while we will take anything that may come in our reach, in either hemisphere, will lead to serious trouble in South American affairs. In those troubles we will find it necessary, in order to avoid a great war with European powers, to take possession of extensive regions in South America and pay their obligations in Europe. In some such manner we will become owners of a large region in the Amazon valley. In due time, when the rivulets of public opinion become concentrated in the mighty river above referred to, our government will give the negroes homesteads in, and free transportation to, that country. And the bulk of them will go and estab- lish a new nation, under the protection o four government. Most persons think this is an impossibility; most people don't know what impossibility means. One million of Europeans will come to our shores this year. When the time comes we can transport the negroes as fast as they need to go. In my vision I can see the ships that will carry them to their new homes. They appear to be of large size, built of steel, painted white, and I can see no smoke stacks or masts on them; this indicates that neither steam nor wind power will then be used for propelling vessels. The powers that control the destiny of races and nations are now inspiring Booker T. Washington in his noble efforts to prepare his race for the great change that awaits them. The place of the negro laborer in the South will be fully supplied by other races even before he can get away. Crowley, La., is the center of the greatest rice production in the United States. White labor is almost entirely used there. I learn that only fifteen per cent of Negro labor is used in the largest cotton producing country in Texas, or the world. The great movement of the Negro race will commence within twenty-seven years from this date. I hope that some of the younger people will make a not of these forecasts and watch the incidents that will gradually lead to their fulfillment. I get these impressions from the spirits of the two greatest emancipators that America ever produced. PROF. L. L. THOMPSON. C. S. P. Bones of Kings.

An interesting archeological relic has been discovered in an Indian mound about twenty miles south of Paris, Tenn., in the shape of a finely carved metal helmet, supposed to be of pure silver, which weighs eighteen pounds and is in excellent preservation. While many finds of crude worked copper have occurred in many prehistoric mounds and stone graves of Tennessee, no object of silver or high-class workmanship has been unearthed. For this reason many hold this to be a relic of the early Spanish explorers, probably lost by Hernando De Soto, the discoverer of the Mississippi, in 1582, when he led an expedition through this section to the site of the present city of Memphis. Knew His Place. He was incontrovertible evidence of better days in disgrace. He was loaded. He had a skate on. He was carrying a bun. He was jagged. He was tight. He was full. He was corned. He was boozed. He was drunk. As he staggered on the boat, his eyes, rheumy from rum, dwelt upon the word "Gentlemen" over the cabin door. He had just sufficient manhood left to muter: "G-e-n-t-hic-hic-hem-e-bien, zhemermen. Well, I ain't, hic, no zhemerman, so I don't, hic, b'long in there. Zudder suce place, hic, for me."

The following beautiful and impressive peroration, used by Judge French, the Kentucky lawyer who defended Jett and White, the Breathitt county assassins, in arraigning Witness Ewen before the bar of "public execution," has attracted wide attention: "God never gave a truthful tongue and a cowardly heart to the same man." Somehow or other the public finds a justification for this handsome expression in the fact that it was Judge French's clients who shot down a human being in cold blood from behind, giving him no chance to defend himself, declared their innocence of the charge.

Applied to Raw Wounds, It Prevents Mortification A good deal of the world's tobacco crop is neither smoked, snuffed nor chewed. At one time tobacco was very largely prescribed in medicine, and even to day considerable quantities are so made use of. As an external remedy for wounds and bruises and sprains a wet tobacco poultice is commonly used in all countries where tobacco is grown. On sore throats, crysipelas, sciatica and swellings of various kinds, tobacco, externally applied, has a wonderful good effect. Moist tobacco is one of the best cures imaginable for the bite of a poisonous insect. Being so good as it is, to tobacco is sometimes applied by soldiers to raw wounds. It is said that no case of lockjaw or mortification has ever occurred where this precau tion has been taken.—Health. Protecting Books in China. "We have to varnish all our books in my country," said a Chinese; "otherwise they would soon be eaten into a gray powder by a little black insect, like a beetle, that takes to books as a cat takes to ashes.

Fashion is kindly disposed toward young girls this season and many of the pretty modish ideas in their dresses are more replicas of the pre vailing style for older people. In the dainty design shown here the same broad shoulder effect is carried out in a very unique bertha. The dress, which is plaited, very much on the "Gibson" order, opens under the plait the pretty mounth ideas in their dresses are more replicas of the prevailing style for older people. In the dainty design shown here the same broad shoulder effect is carried out in a very unique bertha. The dress, which is plaited, very much on the "Gibson" order, opens under the plait in front and on the shoulder. The front and back of the dress are the same, and it makes a charming little frock without the bertha. The waist may be made with or without the fins. The skirt is circular in shape, a style which is very becoming to the youthful wearers. The mode will develop satisfactorily in any of the dress materials in either cotton or woolen stuffs. A pretty development would be in the plain colored cloth, with the bertha finished by braid or piping of contrasting color. Another feature to be considered is in making wash frocks. The bertha may be taken off and laundered, thus freshening the whole dress and saving in the laundry bill. Cashmere, albatross, silk, cheviot, serge or light weight woolens are materials suited to the mode. Child's Apron Every girl should home and school mother knows what a saving they are on the dresses. A quaint little apron that will be appreciated because of its comfort and simplicity is shown here in a model that will prove most satisfactory for school wear. The apron is in three pieces - front, back and shaped strap. The front have an apron for wear, and every and back yokes might be underfaced with the material to give more strength across the bust and shoulders. The strap may be sewed to the apron, or a pretty way to fasten it is by pearl buttons. Any of the apron materials are suitable to the model—gingham, linen, lawn, batiste; or for everyday wear brown holland is especially nice. Normal Talks. Butter daintily molded and served on a tiny lettuce leaf is pleasing. Varnished wood work should be washed with warm water to which some tea has been added. To clean a tafta silk skirt take equal parts of water and ammonia and rub on with a brush. A spoonful of kerosene in boiled starch keeps it from sticking, but do not use enough to make it smell of the oil. Scatter salt on a carpet when sweeping and you will not only fire it has a cleansing effect, but that it also keeps away moths. A a heaping teaspoonful of pulverized chocolate for each glass of lemonade makes chocolate lemonade, that is a change from the other kind. To prevent cheese from becoming moldy, wrap it in a cloth which has been dipped in vinegar and wrung as dry as possible. Keep in a cool place. The small, mops, such as are used to cleanse fine glassware, really make excellent dusters. To cleanse them throw them into soapsuds and let them come 'to a boil. If you have not tried cream cheese and pineapple sandwiches a treat awaits you. Chop the pineapples fine and drain. Spread the bread thinly with cheese, sprinkle with the pineapple and press together, then cut the sandwiches in thin, slender strips. Pulverize and mix one ounce each of cedar, rhubarb and cloves put in bags and hang in your clothes closets; they will prevent moths and give a good, wholesome perfume to your clothing. To remove a glass stopper pour hot water over the neck of the bottle. The heat causes the glass to expand, and it then being considerably larger than the stopper, readil releases the latter.

A golden Milan straw hat brought over recently by one of the best-dressed women in New York, has a high quilting around the crown, of the rich red Burgundy velvet, and an ostrich feather shade twenty-seven inches long of the pinkish mauve swept around the hat and down the hair almost to the shoulder. This was worn most effectively with a mauve crepe de chine. Fashions in Feet. In Paris the fashion in feet has changed. The Spanish foot, once the rage, has now gone out of fashion and is found fault with for its thickness. North and South American feet are looked upon as being nearest perfection. The shape is generally rather long in proportion to its width and the instep is highly arched. However, the excessively pointed toe is being discarded in Paris, as elsewhere, and the fashion is actually to wear a shoe which has the natural shape of the foot. The knife blade point has vanished, not only from walking shoes and morning top boots but from the evening slipper. Ladies' Blouse Coat and Skirt Among the many new designs for costumes none is more popular than the blouse coat with attached Louis XV. skirt. In the coat additional evidence of good taste is shown in the deep rippling cape which broadens the shoulders, according to current fashions, and which may be used with or without the stole facing. ```markdown ``` White Silk Waist Blouse of white silk made with three deep cross tucks at the botts e silk made with so tucks at the bottom and similar tucks on the sleeve at a corresponding height. ```markdown ``` The belt may be of the same material or of leather, and the coat may be either of two lengths. The yoke is of brussels lace, unlined, bordered with a band of Irish gulp from which escape passentic tassels. The sleeve puffs are of the brussels lace, finished with cuffs composed of deep tucks of the silk--Wiener Chic The skirt is one of the newest models of seven-gore shaping. The front is ornamented by tucks or plats at the side seam and is a good model to follow in making a separate skirt or for the costume. Provision is made for the medium sweep, dip or round length, thus making it valuable for making different skirts. A very smart costume would be of mixed grass cheviot or English mixture, or of canvas, pongee, broadcloth or wool crash How to Clean Ribbons The woman who does not know how to take care of her clothes may easily spend a small fortune keeping them clean. Nothing soils more easily than the pretty sashes now so much worn. It is not hard to clean them if one has a glass fruit jar about half full of gasoline. Put the ribbons in it, screw on the cover and leave it a couple of hours, or over night. Then remove the ribbons, dry them in the open air so as to eradicate the smell of gasoline, and smooth them if necessary, with a warm iron. Ribbons, of all kinds and colors can be put into the jar at once and after the dirt has settled to the bottom the gasoline can be poured off and kept for future use. White ribbons may be washed in a suds of soft water and pure soap and instead of being ironed they may be rolled, while still damp, over a wide card or piece of pasteboard wrapped in muslin and placed under a heavy weight. The ribbon books fresher when treated in this way than if it is ironed. For the Small Tots. Embroidery is the prevailing trimming. Nearly every dress shows some dainty hand work. Skirts may be lengthened by inserting a band of embroidery above the hem. A simple, inexpensive dress must be accompanied with neat and stylish footwear. Cooler, belt and cuffs are decorated with old-fashioned cross-stitch through embroidery canvas. Though it is seldom called by the old name the old reefer coat is a good model, especially for girls. THE WELL DRESSED WOMAN Fall Millinery Dutch colors and modes are popular. In millinery for fall and winter wear the high crowned hat in the big shape and the turban in the small shape are the favorites. In garnitures shaded effects will be much used for the expensive hats. Long ostrich plumes are now dyed in patches showing in one plume perhaps five tones of the same color. They will shade from a deep Burgundy red through to a light pink, from Havana brown to a pale champagne tint, from bluet to hyacinth blue. The mauve and violet challenges are particularly rich and af An adjustable collar distinguishes the sweater of the season. Blocks and straps of black velvet are much liked for trimming. Chifon is the most fashionable material for fine trocks. Big water spots of blue and red adorn the satin band of the new sailor hat. A belt of white beads with flowers wrought in blue beads is pretty. The princessse gown is predicted to be the coming model. MODISH SEPARATE WAISTS. ends. Motifs of lace or passementer at the points.

American Interests Are Pressing for the Ratification of the Treaty While Cuba Cares Little or Nothing About the Matter. In a spirit of candor and fairness, and with a knowledge of the essential facts bearing upon the question, the Washington correspondent of the New York Sun, under date of Sept. 16, treats at some length "The Outlook for Cuban reciprocity." It is taken for granted at the outset that an extra session of congress will be called for Nov. 9 to consider and act upon the proposed reciprocity treaty, and it is assumed that after few days spent in organizing and maneuvering, and perhaps in fillbustering, the legislators will go home for Thanksgiving week without having made any progress with the Cuban business. This will bring them close to the first Monday in December, the date for the first regular session of the Fifty-eighth Congress—so close, in fact, that it is extremely doubtful whether definite action will be had on the treaty prior to the regular session. The correspondent thinks that in the very brief space between the end of the Thanksgiving recess and the beginning of the regular session "Congress will again tackle the Cuban reciprocity question, which has for many months been a sore disturber of our political peace." It would not, however, be at all strange or unreasonable if the Thanksgiving recess should be prolonged until the first Monday in December. In that event the time spent in the extra session would be time wasted. Should this view of the probabilities commend itself to the mind of the President, it may be that the extra session will not be called, and that the Cuban question will be permitted to take its turn in the regular legislative proceedings of the regular session. Many senators and representatives favor this course, and not without good reason. It is very generally agreed that action by congress on the Cuban reckless proctice question long since passed out of the emergency stage, and that the grounds for haste procedure, herefore so strenuously urged, no longer exist. That is evidently the view of the Sun's correspondent, for he says: "That which was perhaps the strongest argument in favor of a generous policy toward Cuba is no longer an active factor. That consisted in the presentation of Cuba's dire needs and in the declaration of our responsibility for their relief. Though very much poorer than most Americans now suppose them to be, the Cubans are not immediately threatened with economic distress and financial disaster. They have quietly and patiently pulled themselves together, faced the misfortune which confronted them two years ago, and have virtually conquered it. They are getting along as best they can, but they are getting along. Their self-congratulation upon and public anouncement of the healthy condition of their national treasury has created a mistaken belief in the general prosperity of the people. They are not now suffering but they are far from prosperous. The argument of dire need and American responsibility will have little or no place in the coming discussion." As a matter of absolute fact, "the argument of dire need and American responsibility" never should have had any place in the discussion, since it never was based upon actual Cuban needs or actual American responsibility. This being the case, the Sun correspondent rightly concludes that "the issue will turn upon the point of American and not of Cuban interests." The issue has from the beginning turned wholly upon the point of American interests. It started primarily in a Sugar trust game of grab-artfully reinforced by the spurious pretext of "relief for Cuba." The philanthropic feature "caught on" so hard that the grab game was overlooked and lost sight of. Now, however, the charity element disappears and "American interest" is all that is left. The Sun correspondent further describes the situation and outlook as follows: "In former discussions the noise of the campaign has been made by the beet sugar interests of the United States. It now seems probable that this factor will have little or no prominence. It is generally admitted that the proposed treaty, limited as it is to a brief term, will be of less injury to them than would a continued agitation, with its disturbance of market conditions. It is currently reported that the active opposition of the beet sugar interests will be withdrawn. Although these interests were generally supposed to be the controlling force in the opposition heretofore, such is not at all the fact. Behind the noise and the vociferation of that element there stood another group, less noisy but more effective, really dominating the situation. This consisted of those who opposed any break in our present tariff barriers. They feared that a treaty with Cuba would be a breach in the walls through which would follow treaties with France, Newfoundland, the Argentine, Canada, and perhaps with others, to the entire terangement of our present tariff system. This group has been, and still is, the effective force in opposition to the Cuban treaty. "The strength which this element will develop in the coming session cannot now be measured. New influences, partly political and partly economic, have arisen. Attention is called to the declaration of the Republican national platform of 1896, virtually pledging protection to American sugar producers. Mr. Roosevelt's attitude is held to be a violation of that pledge of his party. Yet, as President, he has committed himself unalterably to Cuban reciprocity, and as members of the party of which he is now the official head the Republicans in congress are supposed to follow his lead." As to the action, or non-action, of the beet sugar interests, we are not authorized to speak, but we think it very questionable whether the real friends of beet sugar will withdraw their opposition on the theory that a five-year treaty with its reduced tariff proviso is preferable to continued agitation. It is much more reasonable to suppose that they would prefer to have the treaty beaten once for all in a fair fight, with the certainty that it can never again come up under a Republican administration as a disturber of peace inside the Republican party. The San Francisco Chronicle may be considered good authority on this point. In an extended article of approving comment on the attitude of the American Protective Tariff league in opposition to reciprocity in competitive products, whether with Cuba or with any other country, the Chronicle recently said: "With all the capital seeking investment in this country, has any one heard of a new sugar factory even seriously proposed in this state since Cuban reciprocity was threatened? The league is in the right and must prevail." As to the "less noisy but more effective" opposition to which the Sun refers as "dominating the situation" we assume that the Tariff league and those who share its beliefs are referred to. The cap fits, and the league is perfectly willing to put it on and wear it. The Tariff league opposes any break in our present tariff barriers. It opposes the Cuban treaty because it is convinced that, as the Sun says, "such a treaty would be a breach in the walls through which would follow treaties with France, Newfoundland, the Argentine, Canada, and perhaps with others, to the entire derangement of ur present system." Also because the Cuban treaty would be an act of bad faith and grossly unfair toward the domestic agricultural interests, which have been guaranteed protection in the production of sugar and tobacco. With reasons such as these for foundation and backing it is not difficult to understand why "this group has been, and still is, the effective force in opposition to the Cuban treaty." Opposition based upon principle, upon fair play and square dealing generally is effective. That it may continue to be effective in shaping the action of the Republican party in congress is profoundly to be hoped. Don't Choke Up the Chimney. COMPETITIVE RECIPROCITY AMERICAN INDUSTRIES The Safer Guide In spite of the assertion of the St. Paul Pioneer Press—a mighty poor authority, by the way, as to Republican sentiment in Minnesota or elsewhere—that Minnesota and the Northwest "are to-day almost unanimously in favor of tariff revision," the Boston Herald is oppressed by the fear that Minnesota Republicans will continue to vote the Republican ticket. The Herald's fears are well grounded. That is precisely what Minnesota Republicans may be depended upon to do. Tariff tinkering sentiment in Minnesota is chiefly stored away in the thought realervoirs of the fellows who write editorials for the metropolitan Republican newspapers. It does not exist among the Republican rank and file. The best proof of that is the fact that the largest Republican vote is polled in Congressional districts where the Republican candidates are the most hostile to tariff tinkering. If you are looking for real political sentiment you will find election returns a safer guide than foolish editorials. Gain Home Markets First. We have pointed out that there is a $100,000,000 market for sugar right here at home which we can capture for home producers if we will. Like wise there is a $50,000,000 market for raw silk worth trying for, and there are also markets for many other millions and hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of products. Why not gain these home markets for our own labor and capital before worrying about less profitable foreign markets to be got ten only through treaties and barter Why They Oppose It. As a rule, the farmers who have been receiving such high prices for all the products of the farm are opposed to ripping the tariff as a means of getting at the trusts. - Des Moines Central Nature's War With Bacteria.

Longest Fence in the World The fence about the Fort Belknap Indian reservation, which is forty miles wide and sixty miles long, has been finished, according to a dispatch from Heilena, Mont. It is probably the longest fence in the world and has taken years in building. The plan is to protect the flocks and herds of the Gros Ventres and Assiniboines from intrusion, as well as to keep them from straying. Wonderful Bird Flight The most wonderful bird flight noted is the migratory achievement of the Virginia plover, which leaves its Northern haunts in North America, taking a course down the Atlantic, usually from 400 to 500 miles east of the Bermudas, reaches the coast of Brazil in one unbroken flight of fifteen hours, covering a distance of 3,200 miles, at the rate of four miles a minute.

"I was always a delicate, spoiled child and my parents used to let me drink coffee because I would cry for it," says a Georgia young woman. "When I entered school my nervousness increased and my parents thought it was due to my going to school, so they took me out again. But I did not get any better and my headaches got worse and weakened me so that I was unfit for any duty. Sometimes I would go a whole day without any other nourishment than a cup of coffee. "Last spring I had a bad attack on the Gripe and when I recovered I found that coffee nauseated me so I could not drink it and even a few swallows would cause a terrible burning in my stomach. It was at this time that a friend who had been much benefited by the use of Postum suggested that I try this food drink. I found it simply delicious and have used it ever since and the results speak for themselves. I have gained 12 pounds and my nerves are as steady as any one's. "I consider myself well and strong and I make it a point now to take a cup of Postum with a cracker or two as soon as I come home from school in the afternoon. Postum with crackers or a biscuit makes my lunchon. It certainly saved my life for I know coffee would have killed me in time had I continued drinking it. "I have a young girl friend, a stenographer, who declares nothing strengthens and refreshes her like Postum and she has a little oil stove in her office and makes a cup of Postum at notime. I have recommended this wonderful beverage to many of my friends who know what it has done for me." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Oh, when our tears shall be as morning dew, When all the ground beneath our feet shall slink. And when the abyss of despair we shrink. God help us to be brave, God keep us true. Oh, when the sands of time for us run thro' QUIET HOUR The Holy Name. Hallowed be Thy name—Mat, vt. 8 There is a holiness that belongs to certain things aside from what we ordinarily call religion. The thing that has become holy to you may have little or no other value. An old book that your mother often read, that would not bring five cents in the market, is treasured as a holy thing by you, and perhaps by you alone; the old homestead is a holy place; a little worn shoe is a holy thing to a saddened mother's heart. All because these things have been linked with the affections. The devoted son, the loving mother, the mechanic who gives honor to his work and the student whose every thought is a prayer are examples of the best things in this life of ours and the nearest to our loving Father, creating and working in his infinite wisdom, but as with all the noblest things in life they are the most dangerous. The son, the mother, the engineer, the student may become idolaters, and that which was holy degenerate into a selfish superstition that which ought to be a motive to a broad and wealthy life become a positive hindrance to true growth. Here, then, the far reaching opening words of our Lord's great prayer, May our Father's name be made holy. And what is our Father's name? Surely not only what we sound when we pronounce the words; surely not the name, as you or I have a name by which we are known among men, which pronounced gives no revelation of what we are. Our Lord is doing more than bid us abstain from profanity and pronounce his Father's name with reverence in our speech. And what is the name of God? That by which he has revealed himself, that by which he is known. Not a name like Brown or Smith, which tells naught of what he who bears it is, but a name spoken in our ears in all our daily toll and hours at home, as varied as our lives, but ever revealing him; now his love, now his wisdom, now his mercy, now his justice. It means for us to so give to Him our devotion that the seeming little things in life become as the treasured book of a mother's life or things rejected by men, as the little, worn-out shoe, ever declaring the gracious blessing of a life not now seen. It means that our daily work is with holy things treated with loving care such as the engineer gives to his great instrument of modern life. It means that the most despised and scorned of things on earth may become a wealth of revelation of divine wisdom as does that dirty drop of water to the student's eager eye. It means that all around so speaks of our Father's love and wisdom that the earth becomes a temple and our duties and our cares that by which we offer praise and worship to him who built it. "Hallowed be thy name;" so teach me, Lord, to find in everything that greets my ear a name for thee, in everything that greets my eye thy autograph, that I may live in a holy place and offer continually the incense of my devotion. Here, then, the view point of our religion as taught by him who gave it: Reverence toward all his created work and, above all, for every human life, all cleansed, nothing unclean, no life so low, so forsaken, that it shall not recall that holiest moment of his work when he, too, cried: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" The utter darkness of the Holy of Holies in which he placed the light by which we might see the holliness of our God when the veil was rent in twain. We can learn the holiness of God only by making holy ali that he hath given us; we can have faith only as we make holy the name of our God.—Rev. W. Everett Johnson. The Sacredness of Love. Our Lord made all the family relationships more sacred. The spirit which would dissolve them, which would dream of a holier life than that of the household, a discipline more sacred than that of a godly family, is contrary to the spirit of Christ. Through Him we learn to love our kindred and friends with a nobler love. The church is one great family—shakers in the same parental care and heirs to a common inheritance. Jealousies may spring up between the fondest hearts and the most passionate GIOUS MENT love may grow cool unless Christ purify it. He teaches us how to love brothers and sisters and even our own children aright. He bids the church esteem men, not for rank or fashion, but because they belong to Christ. Our Lord's dying words showed how dearly He loved His mother, and were a reflection of the love which she bestowed on his infant days. No mother was ever more tender and thoughtful; no child ever loved a mother so perfectly. There is no love like His; and he who possesses it will love his kindred better and seek to win them to the brotherhood of Christ.—James Gardiner Vose. Brave Enough Not to Fight. Some people would be very brave if they were not afraid of being thought cowards. They are not brave enough to do the wise and right thing in spite of that taunt. Many a great battle has been lost because a general has been so foolish as to fight under a disadvantage of position, or of force, lest be called a coward. Many a bad deed has been done because a boy or man was not brave enough to dare being called afraid. No men in all history have been greater for reputation of bravery than the knights of King Arthur's Round Table; perhaps this was so because part of the vow which these knights took upon themselves: "That no man take no battles in a wrong quarrel for no law, and for no world a goods; unto this were all the knights sworn of the table round both old and young. And every year were they sworn at the high feast of Pentecost." In that oath never to dare to fight except in a good quarrel lies the root of the bravest bravery. Would that all men would still declare solemnly never to draw sword nor speak a word of favor in a wrong cause! By such bravery would the world be vastly gainer. This courage not to fight shows heroically in Him "who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, threatened not." The Necessity of Backbone. One thing which Christians need in this day is backbone. Not a backbone, like a ram-rod, that cannot yield or bend, but a well-articulated spinal column, which is strong enough to hold a man upright, and to keep him from being crushed beneath the burden that presses him. These are days of easy-going piety, and men are too often ruled by compromises rather than by conscience. Mr. Spurgeon said: "Oak has given place to willow. Everybody has grown limp. Out of the generality of limpness has come an admiration for it. A man cannot speak a plain word without being accused of bitterness, and if he denounces error he is narrow-minded." In such a condition of things there is call, not for stubbornness and crustiness, but for a gentle, patient, courageous, unyielding conscientiousness and firmness, which anchors the soul to the everlasting rock and keeps the heart resting on Him who is the way, the truth and the life, and who will never leave nor forsake us.—Religious Intelligencer. God's Gifts. Into all our lives in many simple, familiar ways. God infuses the element of joy from the surprises of life, which unexpectedly brighten our days and fill our eyes with light. He drops this added sweetness into his children's cup and makes it to run over. The success we were not counting on, the blessing we were not trying after, the strain of music in the midst of drudgery, the beautiful morning picture or sunset glory thrown in as we pass to or from our daily business, the unsought word of encouragement or expression of sympathy, the sentence that meant more for us than the writer or speaker thought—these and a hundred others that every one's experience can supply are instances in point. You may call it accident or chance—it often is; you may call it human goodness—it often is; but always, always call it God's love. The Divine Channel. He will draw nigh to you. He himself, although he may use various channels and instruments—it may be affection or prosperity; it may be through the voice of nature or of providence; it may be through the word of the example of a Christian—yet it is God himself. But of all instruments and channels, the written word is of the utmost importance; it stands supreme. It is through Scripture, eminently, that God draws nigh to the soul. But let us never mistake the reading of the Scripture for that real drawing nigh of the living God toward which it is the great help and of which it is the great witness. Scripture is not the substitute for God's drawing nigh to us, it is only the channel; the written word of the past must become the living word of the present—Adolph Saphir. The Will of God. No trouble is too small wherein to see the will of God for thee. Great troubles come but seldom. Daily fretting trials—that is, what of thyself would frert thee—may often, in God's hands, conform thee more to His gracious will. They are the daily touches whereby He traces on thee the likeness of His Divine will; Edward B Pussey, D. D. COMPLETE VICTORY FOR UNITED STATES Claims for Territory in Alaska Conceded by the International Boundary Commission Canadians Regard Decision with Much Disfavor. economic conditions of a region which the colonial office in London deemed worthless, when a sudden inroad of population rushed to the Klondike. Mr. Chamberlain thought it fit to revive with Washington an old dispute which had been amicably settled in 1825 between Russia and the States. Imperfect explorations based on Van couver's map of 1795 had prevented the precise demarcation of boundary from the southernmost point of Prince of Wales island along Portland cana and the mountain parallel to the coast. England sought not only a commercial advantage of 3,000,000 acres of land, but also the strategic gain of a terminus on the Pacific for those new railway and telegraphic lines which are to turn Canada into the Western highway of the empire. The heavier dotted lines show boundary line claimed by the United States, while the lighter dotted line that of England. The portraits are those of American and Englishmen who sat in the tribunal at London that decided and agreed the American contention was just. WHAT AMERICA GAINS BY THE COMMISSION'S FINDING Recognition by Great Britain of its right to; The land of the Alaskan "panhandle" for ten marine leagues, or about 341% statute miles from the coast line from the north side of Portland canal, the present southern terminus, to Mount St. Elias, the northern end of the "panhandle," the boundary to follow the configuration of the coast, and not to be drawn from headland to headland. About 20,700 square miles of territory instead of a small fraction of that area. Continued control of the many important bays and inlets throughout the 600 miles of coast from Mount St. Elias to Portland canal. Much valuable mineral land, and the fisheries along the coast. Supremacy in the Northern Pacific ocean. Canada was stirred into a tumult by the official announcement that the PROVINCIAL BOUNDARY LINE ACCORDING HOURS WITHIN BOUNDARY PACIFIC ELLIH ROOT LOD ALEXANDER WHERE CLA The heavier dotted lines show the States, while the lighter dotted line those of American and Englishmen were decided and agreed the American co- Alaskan boundary 'tribunal had rendered a decision giving a sweeping victory to the United States. The denial to Canada of even a single port for the Klondike gold fields roused the wrath of the entire Dominion, and annexation to the United States was urged by many as a relief from Great Britain's repeated repudiations of Canada's interests. Dispatches from various points throughout the Dominion indicated that the Alaskan defeat had inspired general rage against the mother country, and this was emphatically expressed by leaders of all parties. Among the most incisive utterances were those of Mr. Gourlay, member of parliament from Nova Scotia, who said that "all the United States have to do is to make a claim for Canada and they will get it by boastfulness and dishonest effort. The last two generations of Englishmen are degenerates and cowards." British Columbian officials regarded the decision as another instance where Canadian interests were sacrificed on the Moloch altar of "diplomatic arrangements for the benefit of Great Britain." J. Israel Tarte, who speaks at all times with the voice of all the French Canadians in the Dominion, declared that if it were true that Canada had been given no port there was a strong likelihood the nation would not accept the decision, no matter what the outcome might be. LONG HISTORY OF SUCCESS. How Vast Portions of the Earth Have Become British When Austerlitz avenged the loss of a French fleet at Tratfalgar and placed the coalition at Napoleon's mercy, Pitt exclaimed, "Oh! my country," and died. On hearing of this supreme sigh the great emperor remarked, "Yes; a country of shopkeepers." England still resents the definition, because truth engenders hatred, but her prosperous history of imperialism talks shop in every chapter. With Clive's victory in India, a corporation of British merchants, guided by sordid selfishness, was granted the administration of Bengal in 1757. All financial engagements entered into with the Mogol emperors were overlooked, and Hastings, as governor general, replenished by extortion the company's exchequer, until his rapacious policy forced Mussulman sovereigns under British control. The traders themselves were then deprived of their monopoly in favor of the crown. Gold being discovered in Mysore, England annexed that territory and conquered the immense wealth of Nepal Assam and Arakam. Native mutinies were suppressed, principalities in rebellion or without heirs annexed to the federation, and in 1877 Queen Victoria was proclaimed empress of India. We turn to South Africa. In 1869 Kimberley and its diamonds attracted the attention of British merchants. As a quarrel divided Boers and Kaffirs, England intervened under the auspices of Cecil Rhodes and the Transvaal was anexed to Cape Colony in 1876. At the price of much blood on Majuba Hill Gladstone granted self-government to that republic. Thus magnanimity followed defeat. But Rhodes kept the Dutch out of his chartered territory, while auriferous discoveries attracted into the Rand a most powerful British element.

The reform leaders refused arbitration. War was declared in October, 1899. The resistance of 20,000 Boers against 200,000 British soldiers "staggered humanity," but after a struggle of two years and a half the gold country was annexed under King Edward's crown, and the initiative of shopkeepers in another conquest is consigned to history. It would appear, however, as if John Bull for once was to be deprived of his time-honored privilege of controlling any new fields of wealth within his reach. The Alaskan arbitration tribunal has virtually conceded the claim of Uncle Sam that the boundary follows the sea coast, and Canadian papers now tax Lord Alverstone with having made up his mind in advance in favor of the United States. The contention that the frontier should run in a parallel line jumping from one headland to another and thus awarding the bays and inlets to the Dominion is rejected, and such gateways to the gold fields as Skagway and Dyea and Pyramid Harbor are not to pass out of American control. When one of the richest auriferous districts in the world revealed itself along the Yukon and transformed the economic conditions of a region which the colonial office in London deemed worthless, when a sudden inroad of population rushed to the Kloudike, Mr. Chamberlain thought it fit to revive with Washington an old dispute which had been amicably settled in 1825 between Russia and the States. Imperfect explorations based on Vancouver's map of 1795 had prevented the precise demarcation of boundary from the southernmost point of Prince of Wales island along Portland canal and the mountain parallel to the coast. England sought not only a commercial advantage of 3,000,000 acres of land, but also the strategic gain of a terminus on the Pacific for those new railway and telegraphic lines which are to turn Canada into the Western highway of the empire. The congress at Washington passed a resolution opposing this asserted claim to harbors through which the greater portion of the Alaskan trade must be carried on, and which Russia had admitted as belonging to America after a diplomatic contention of four years referred to as settled when the territory was ceded in 1867. The signature of an agreement for arbitration gave rise to an outburst of jingoistic self assertion as if the award must absolutely turn to British favor. But ill-concealed bitterness has followed recent debates, while pessimism in Canadian circles prevailed—Antolme M. Borel in Chicago American. The First Use of Coffee Coffee as a beverage is traced to Ethiopia, whence it was introduced into Persia, then into Egypt. In 1554 it was known in Constantinople, where two private persons, named Shems, from Damascus, and Hekin, from Aleppo, opened coffee houses. The use of the berry then extended to western Europe and was introduced into England in 1637 by Nathaniel Canopus, a native of Cret. Archbishop Laud allowed him maintenance at Bailiol college. Oxford, where he made for his own use coffee, a fact mentioned by Evelyn in his diary of May 1637. In Oxford, too, the first coffee house was established in England by a Jew named Jacobs, in 1650; two years later the first in London was opened. Preserving Cut Flowers. To preserve cut flowers, they should be taken out of the vases every day and a tiny piece cut off the end of each with a sharp knife, not with scissors, as the object is to keep the pores of the stems open, and this can only be done with a very sharp instrument. The vase should be kept perfectly clean. A small piece of charcoal placed in the bottom of the vase will help keep the blossoms fresh for many days. The water must be changed every day if the vase be of clear glass. A pich of borax may take the place of the charcoal. Austrian Emperor's Honors Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria is nine times king, twice a grand duke, once a grand prince, four times mar grave and the multitude of the titles as count and so toth is past enumeration. In addition, as king of Hungary, he bears the title of "most apostolic," which is one of the four honors bestowed by the pope. HUMOR OF THE DAY "I like the looks of this bird. What is it worth?" "Only $5, ma'am, and it's cheap for that parrot. He learned to talk by the new method." "What's that?" "By making him listen to a phonograph." "Does he talk like a phonograph?" "Exactly, ma'am." "I am glad you told me. Show me some other bird." A Prize for All. M. L. H. Braggsby—Why do you call marriage a lottery—there are no blanks; every one draws a prize? Wagsgy—That's so; but most of them are booby prizes. Logically. "The dressmakers say the high-heeled shoe must go. That's all right, but they say the peckaboo waist has got to go, too. Why is that?" "Well, the peckaboo waist and the high-heeled shoe generally go together, as things go, don't they? And if they go together, together they ought to go, oughtn't they?" "Y—yes, I suppose so; but that makes my head ache." Good Soul. "There's a mosquito on the back of your hand." "I know it." "Why don't you crush it?" "I will presently. I am waiting till it gets its stinger all the way in." "What's that for?" "I want the poor thing to die happy." Five Dollars Please Inquirer—But how can the issuing of an injunction against a barking dog stop his barking? Legal Luminary—In this way: The dog, presumably, will disregard the injunction. This makes the animal guilty of contempt of court and you can shoot a dog for contempt of court. Over the Rail "Did you have a pleasant voyage?" "Not remarkably. The weather was stormy." "But you never wearied of looking at the boundless ocean, did you?" "Well, it was rather—er—monotones to have to be looking down on it all the time."

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. We protest that all the vices are not centered in the Negro race and deny most emphatically that all the virtues are the divine heritage of the white race. 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 uninterrupted in order to demonstrate to the rock-ribbed brethren 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. If a corresponding amount of money, science and careful attention were given to the development of the human race as has been devoted to the development of the fast horse, evidently there would be a proportionate increase of two-minute men and women. Evidently the Democratic spellbinders are proceeding upon the theory that the Cardwell case of the "Mr. Brown and dignified sum fame" have been forgotten, and that the indictments of the Cole county and St. Louis grand juries, along with the convictions of the Federal court in St. Louis for fraudulent registration will have passed out of the minds of men ere this and election day. 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 have been laboring under the halucination that it was not the Republican party that freed us. When at leisure call at the New Century Pool Hall and Boot Black parlor. I also carry the leading brand of cigars and tobaccos. Furnished rooms upstairs. Tom Newrod, Prop. 554 Grand. 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. 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 Rarest Bird. There is a peculiar bird commonly known as the "kiwi," its scientific name being apteryx mantelli. It is the lowest form of bird which exists, but is so scarce that scientists are happy to get a specimen, in any condition. It is absolutely without wings or tail; its legs are short, stubby, but very strong, and are used by this bird for digging. The body covering is a cross between hair and feathers—a material which is very coarse. They can develop great speed, and make a desperate fight when attacked. Breeding them in captivity has utterly failed, and only a few museums can boast of a specimen. They are now very rarely found in the forests and swamps in the north of New Zealand.—New York Tribune **Dory.** Let him who seeks that sort of glory Cross the ocean in a dory.

Female Life Insurance: Until about fifteen years ago life insurance companies uniformly refused to insure the lives of women on any terms. Until five years ago such companies as did write policies on female lives discriminated against them to the extent of $5 in the thousand. Only a very few companies, even now, and these quite recently, insure women on the same terms as men. And yet the life tables of seventy-five years show the average death rates of all males to be 21.8 per thousand, and of all females 19.7 per thousand. Female lives are, therefore, 10.6 per cent better risks than male lives. Trachoma Chronic in Japan A cabinet officer of the Mikado recently referred to the fact that there are 880,000 trachoma patients in Japan, and that in Toboku district it is impossible to obtain the requisite number of recruits for the army if some sufferers from this disease are not admitted, adding: "The Japanese army will physically collapse if things are to go on in this manner." Trachoma is a chronic inflammation of the eyelids which contracts them inward until the lashes scratch the pupil, causing in many cases, blindness. Old-World Custom Spreading The old-world custom of leaving legacies to servants is beginning to develop in this country. Quite recently a number of wills set apart funds for this purpose. Mrs. Emma Matthiesson, widow of the wealthy sugar refiner, whose will was probated in New York last week, leaves $1,000 to each servant who had been in her employ for over a year and not exceeding two years. To every servant having been in her employ for more than two years, $2,000 is given. Very Pleasant Electioneering In South Australia female suffrage has been in operation for some time. A member of the Commonwealth Parliament, anxious to ascertain the best mode of approaching the woman voters in his constituency, sought the advice of an experienced South Australian legislator. "How do you please them? Do you kiss the baby?" "No, sir," was the candid reply, "we kiss the elector." Song. As in a room a single rose Makes fragrant every part, So doth the thought of thee, dear Love, With sweetness fill my heart. Glad music, Sweetheart mine. For, as the earth without its flowers And birds were dull and drear, So were my heart a barren place Dwelt thou not in it, Dear. - Emina Louise Huse, in Boston Transcript. Her Own Sweet Self By J. Hemans Burley. Copyrighted, 1933, by The Authors Pub. Co. A man was sitting in the comfortable parlor of a modern up-town residence. There was a scowl upon his handsome features which quickly gave place to a look of determination as he heard the rustle of a woman's skirts in the hall. "Now for a scene," he muttered, bracing himself as for a trying ordeal. The woman swept into the room with a grace that marked her as one of high sentiment, having a firm, common sense grasp upon the everyday affairs of life. She greeted him with a bright smile—a smile that gave token of the deep, true love she held for the man before her. Going over she scathed herself upon the arm of his chair, then coquettishly looking down into his eyes, she said: "Roy, dear, I would like some money this morning, as I have an appointment with the dressmaker this afternoon. He glared at her for a moment, then thrust his hands deep into his pockets. "Money, money, money; good heavens, Wynn, how you can get away with it. It is only a week since I gave you fifty dollars; where in the world did it all go to? You are just like all the rest of the women—spent it all for some foolish thing. I thought, when I married you, that you had at least a little common sense, but from morning until night you are on the go after some useless thing. A man wears out his life trying to fill a woman's purse." She laughed a little at his outburst, and her voice took on a bantering tone as she replied: "Thanks, hubby, always glad to hear you express yourself. So you think that is all I married you for; just to spend your money, and to have a good time. Well, really, I must confess that the pastime have proven very enjoyable." "Enjoyable!" he burst forth, "I should say it has. It's turned out just as I have long expected; your extravagance has ruined us. Do you understand, woman? Ruined us! I have borrowed to keep you going, to pay it back as business increased, but now I have failed. Last night I made an assignment, and this morning I stand before you without a penny. Oh! if you had only been like other women, I would not thus have to hide my head in same." He had risen to his feet, and was pacing up and down the room. She went over to him and placed her hand upon his arm. There was a note of sympathy and sorrow in her voice as she replied: "My dear, dear boy, I am very sorry indeed that it has come to this; perhaps I was wrong, but I did only as I thought you would like to do. A woman, they say, is what a man makes her; is it so?" He started in sudden amazement. "What a man makes her," he echoed; "why, woman, have I caused you to make a pauper of me?" A rugulish twinkle flashed in her eyes, and evading his question she continued: "Roy, dear, give me a kiss, and we will begin life over again. I shall try to be like other women in the future." "Kiss you? No!" and without even Mand "Your extravagance has ruined us," a backward glance, he turned and walked out of the room. Left alone, the wife seated herself in an easy chair, and as she sat thinking there came into her mind, not anger, but sympathy for the man who had just accused her of causing his ruin. No one can know what anguish swayed her heart. Was this to be the end of their happy days; those happy days, the anticipation of which had so brightened the dawn of her bridehood? "Poor Roy," she said, slowly, "the dear, dear boy; he feels very bad, indeed. It's just like a man, always to accuse the woman when anything goes wrong." At last, rising to her feet, she mur- mured: "The husband has failed, so the wife had better see what the future has in store for her." Ordering her carriage, she was driven to the office of her husband's lawyer. After a short interview, the lawyer left the office and was gone for some time. When he returned he handed her a bunch of keys and some papers, saying: "I wish you every success in carrying out your plans for the future." Thanking him, he departed. Her next stop was at her husband's place of business. By means of the key she gained admittance, and at once proceeded to his private office. Going to his desk she made a careful search through it, and soon found a drawer marked "private." In this were a number of bills and accounts. These she went over very carefully, determined to find out the exact condition of his affairs. She added the items, then compared the total with a receipt which was among the papers the lawyer had given her and found the amounts to be the same. "Ah, ha!" she exclaimed, "my suspicions were well founded; now for business." Calling a messenger she directed him to notify the head clerk to report for duty, and as soon as he arrived, she had him dispatch the following note: Mr. Roy Evans, City: "Sir- Your immediate presence is requested at the office. Roy was not long in putting in an Henri Matisse Womanlike, she burst into tears, appearance, and seeing her sitting at his desk, he started back in amazement. "Why, Wynn!" he exclaimed, "what are you doing here? This is no place for you." "Place or not," she replied, "that can be discussed later on, and in the meantime will you kindly inform me as to the correctness of these bills," handing him a number of bills, being for wine suppers, dinner parties, luncheons and numerous similar expensive luxuries. He was trembling violently as he sat down to look them over; she was perfectly cool and self-rossessed. "And now," she continued, when he had finished examining them, "are they of your own contracting? "Yes," he faltered, "I must admit that they are." "Does not their total equal the amount for which you are involved?" she asked. "Yes, it does." he acknowledged. "Read this!" she commanded, as she handed him another paper. As his glance fell upon it he started. It was a receipt in full for his indebtedness. He gazed at her in amazement. At length he gasped: "Wynn—Wynn, what does this mean. Who—" "That the wife has paid the husband's debts," she broke in. "Oh, Roy, why did you do it! You thought you were keeping all this from me, and accused me of ruining you, when you brought it upon yourself. I found some of those bills soon after our marriage, and seeing how it would end, I saved my money for this time. Oh! you can never know what heartaches it has cost me, but now, thank God! your good name is redeemed," and sinking into a chair, woman-like, she gave way to a flood of tears. Roy staggered to his feet. Reeling like a drunken man, he crossed the room, and reaching her chair he fell upon his knees beside it. "Darling," he sobbed, "can you ever forgive me; I must acknowledge the truth. Never before did I dare confess my guilt. This morning I sought to blame you for it all, brute that I was. My love, my love, forgive me, and I shall prove myself a man in the future; there shall be no more of this. As God is my witness I shall try to be worthy of you." Stooping over, she lifted his face to hers, and kissed away his tears, as the replied: "Darling do you not know that my hea* has already forgiven you?" Springing to his feet he clasped her in his arms. "Sweetheart!" he cried, "I thank God that you are like your own sweet self!" 1784 .....

Into the Jersey City station of the Pennsylvania railroad sauntered a portly man. He wore a chesty look and carried an umbrella. Advancing to one of the benches, he pulled a chain and padlock from his pocket, ran one end of the chain through the open handle and made the umbrella fast to the seat. Then he said to a man sitting there: "I've traveled all over this country for five years, and I know a thing or two." Then he walked away. The man who sat there got up. He had a cheek suit and a smooth cheek. He stepped up to the umbrella, pulled a file from his pocket, rubbed it to and fro across one of the links in the chain for a few minutes, loosening the umbrella. Then he said to another man: "If the feller who is smarter than chain lightnin' comes back after his parasol, tell him the chap you saw a walkin' off with it never was off the farm afore."—New York Times YES, THE GRATE DREW. But the Customer Was Not Altogether Satisfied. "Well, str, doesn't that grate draw since I fixed it?" inquired the hardware man as a customer walked in. "Yes, it draws like a 15-cent cigar." "Oh, I thought so. I knew it would. I tell you when that patent attachment of mine doesn't make a grate draw it is time to tear down the house and build the fuses over again. It never falls. But you were saying?" "I was saying that it drew. I was remarking that it drew so strong that it drew all the soot and ashes out into the middle of the room. I was suggesting that that patent appliance of yours was a great thing, but that you got it at the wrong end of the chimney. I want that smoke drawn into the outer air. And I was furthermore saying that you had better put up a little deposit to cover the loss of carpet and set of parlor furniture ruined by smoke and soot, or I will levy on your store in the morning. Yes, that thing draws, but it can't draw checks so you'll have to do that." At Last. I dreamed last night that thou didst fly to me With outstretched hands, crying: "At last, at last!" Then time and space were not. The changeful past Fled far, as pale wraiths from the sunrise flee. Death bared no flaming sword 'twixt thee and me! Thou wert alive! Thy lips were warm on mine. Thy dark eyes shone, and those strong arms of thine Held me close clasped, in wordless ecstasy. O love, dear love, we have been parted long! The tides of life and death have borne us far Each from the other. Where the immortals are. Thou werest still, exultant, lithe and strong. Thy crown of youth, resplendent as the star That song for very joy earth's matin song— While I, still loitering in life's dim maze. Grow old and wan, remembering other days! -Smart Set. Blacksmiths Earn $12,000 a Blacksmiths Earn $12,000 a Year. Robert Bonner was the man who first started fancy prices for horse-shoeing when he paid $100 for shoeing Dexter. Others of big stables to-day pay far more than that for shoeing a horse, but they don't pay it to a man keeping a blacksmith shop and doing public business as Bonner did. The money goes in the list of salaries and presents to expert blacksmiths who work only for owners of big stables and who travel with crack racing horses wherever they go. Some of these blacksmiths get $12,000 a year and expenses, besides a liberal present if the owner has had a lucky year. Her Reason. Mrs. Wabash—Why do you take that dreadfully sensational paper?

Dogs as Heroes. Spenel rescued from own caused by locking of terrier. The cases on record in which dogs have risked their lives to save their fellow creatures are almost as numerous as the acts of heroism chronicled in the annals of humanity. The finest medal that was ever struck would not have been too great a reward for the noble act performed by Budge, a spaniel, in in a recent Hoboken fire. Budge lived at 413 Fourteenth street, together with fifty carrier pigeons, a dozen For terrier rescue has dead puppy. Before the building was well alight Mr. Seins, the landlord and owner of Budge, managed to escape with his family, but the carrier pigeons, the rabbits and the puppies were forgotten. Budge was absent at the time, but returned half an hour after the fire started. For a moment she stood ashast at the flames, and then, realizing that her family was in dire danger, she dashed through the fire and in a moment returned carrying a badly blistered puppy. Her anxious face wore a book of quiet triumph as she left the little creature in a place of safety and once more returned to the burning building. Again she came back with another puppy, a little more singed this time, but also living. Her own hair was now ablaze, but, unmindful of the pain, she dropped the pup in the street and started back again. But a young man who had stood by watching her caught the dog in his arms, and in spite of her frantic struggles to return to her perishing family refused to let her go. Had he done so she would have gone to her death. So badly burned was the brave animal, that an ambulance was called, and she and the pups were taken to the dog hospital, where they were detained for nearly a week. Of all the live stock in that building the only creatures saved were the two puppies, and they owed their lives not to man but to what, in this instance at least, proved to be the nobler animal. Mother love was the cause of the death of Daisy, a beautiful little fox terrior, the daughter of Mouse, a noted prize winner, the property of Col. G. A. Stevens, a millionaire. Daisy belonged to Capt. Woodall, who has charge of the barges of the New Jersey ice company. Daisy was the mother of four puppies, which were born on New Year's day, and she was the proudest parent in all New York state. In the second week of January last Capt. woodall made the discovery that one of the puppies was dead, and when Daisy was away he threw the little corpse into the Hudson, but the tide was low and there was no current to carry it away. When the mother returned to her litter she instantly saw that one was missing. She went wild with anxiety, and raced from barge to barge looking for her lost puppy. At last she caught sight of it bobbing up and down in the water, and in an instant she was after it. She swam to the side of the body, took it in her mouth and turned toward the snore. But the icy waters of the river were too much for the gently bred Congressman Slayden of Texas is telling his friends how he learned from a little girl of 6 years how much New York people thought of their city. He was at the house of one of his New York acquaintances, whose daughter had begun to attend school a few weeks ago. "And what have you been learning at school Agnes?" he asked her. Then she proceeded to tell him about spelling and reading and her other studies, but she seemed to be interested in geography more than anything else. The points of the compass occupied all her thoughts now. "North's that way, teacher said," and Agnes pointed her finger. "It's not exactly right up Fifth avenue, but a little that way." "Now, don't you think the avenue ought to have been built north and south?" Congressman Slayden asked. "Oh, well, was the reply, and there was not a trace of a smile, "I s'pose they'll change north and south to fit Fifth avenue before long."—New York Times. dog, and though she made the most heroic efforts to save herself and the puppy, which she fondly imagined still lived, it was no use, and after a little while she gave up the attempt as a bad job, and before help could come she sank, carrying the puppy with her. Capt. Woodall was almost as grief stricken for his pet as Daisy had been for her offspring, and offered a big reward for the two bodies, which were secured by a boatman. An attempt was made to bring up the three little orphans on the bottle, which succeeded so well that they are now growing up and almost old enough to understand the story of their mother's heroism, which capt. Woodall's little son is never tired of telling them. Another case in which a dog made a heroic attempt to save the life of a friend was that of Jack, a wired haired terrior. After he had been in the family for a few montus a stranger was introduced in the shape of a fuzzy little black King Charles spaniel. Jack and the new arrival—who was called Queenie—became firm friends, sleeping in the same basket and eating from the same plate. Queenie was devoted to the fire, and would lie inside the fender and go to sleep peacefully. Whenever Jack found her in this dangerous position he would look at her for a moment and then, taking her by the neck, would place her on the rug. One evening he came to his master with a look of anxiety making a peculiar noise, half bark, half whine. He looked at his master for a moment and then left the room. Returning again he made the same noise and started for the door, looking back at every step. His master was busy just then and took no notice until for the third time he returned, when the master roce and followed him. The dog led the way through several passages and finally into the kitchen, walked up to the range, and placed one paw on the oven. The fire was out for the malds had gone to bed, and on opening the door there was Queenie at her last gasp. She had not been burnt, but simply suffocated. Every effort was made to revive the dog, while Jack stood by with a look of the most intense anxiety on his face. But it was no use, and the little body was taken into the garden and laid upon the lawn. Jack gave one glance at his friend, put his nose to hers, then ran off. He was not seen again for three days, when he returned ditty, bedraggled and lame. Never did he ever enter that kitchen again. He had made a noble effort to save his friend, and it was not his fault that the density of one man's comprehension had prevented his succeeding. Suzetta and Her Book. "Book-larnin' i a fine thing, a sho' nough fine thing," an old colored man confided to another man who had stopped him on the corner to borrow a match and have a friendly chat. "I ain't got no book-larnin' an' my ol' woman, Liza, she ain't got no book-larnin'; but our gal—Suzetta—law—man! she knows ev'thing that evah was wrote in a book, yes, she do.

CRY THAT WON THEM CAPT. LYSAGHT KNEW MEN HE COMMANDED. Not Pleased at the Idea of Fighting Fellow Countryman, the Emmett Guard Were There as One Man to Face the British Lion. A little party were discussing one day last week the Emmet anniversary. The conversation led one of them to relate the following reminiscence: "The first military organization I ever belonged to was the Emmet Guards," he said. It should be explained that he came from another state than New York. "Every member was a stalwart in physique and we were all young men. "Our captain was Dan Lysaght, a merchant of our town, who was one of the most popular fellows you ever saw. He was a patriot true, believe me, and he came very near believing in his soul that when Ireland was freed the Emmet Guards would be largely responsible for that blessed event. "We were the crack organization of the town and we always turned out, no matter what the occasion. We had just got our new uniforms and accoutrements when the civil war broke out in this country. "We were a part of the State Guard, and our state was strongly southern and the governor was a Seesah, we went into camp with the other militia of our town and country when the governor ordered us so to do. "Things were getting pretty hot, I can tell you, and the word was passed round that we would soon be called upon to take the oath of allegiance to the C. S. A. and to join Pa Price as the general of the Confederate forces was called. He was then marching on Lexington, where our countryman, Col. Mulligan, made his first gallant stand for the Union. "It was pretty hard, boys, for the Emmet Guards to think of going against Col. Mulligan, and the situation was discussed at our campfires. Naturally, there was a suspicion in camp that the Emmet Guards were not sound for Secesh, and the Colonel in command put up a job to test the Guards' mettle. Capt. Lyssight, of course, did not know it was a job. "In the middle of the night the word was passed around that the enemy was upon us. When a courier aroused Capt. Lysaght he tumbled into his uniform and went to every tent, and, shaking the flap of one tent, called out bravely: "Fall in, fall in, Emmet Guards! We are attacked!" "Would you believe me, not a man fell in! Capt. Lysaght was enraged. He was as sensitive as he was plucky, and the idea that the Emmet Guards would not turn out to repel an attack made him furious and white at the same time. "My God, men! he said, 'what is the matter of ye.'" "And still the Emmet Guards remained doole, ou might say. Then Capt. Lysaght used a bit of strategy. Passing along the lines of tents he called out: "Emmet Guards, awake and fall in! Fall in, for the British lion is loose amongst ye!" "Ah, as Byron said of the heavy sound that broke up the revelry in Brussels by night, 'then and there was hurrying to and fro.' Every Emmet Guard fell in and stood well to be led on. The colonel commanding heard of us, and then the word was passed that it was a false alarm, and the Emmet Guards went back to their bunks." "Did you join Price in the fight on Mulligan?" asked one. "Some of us joined Price, but not until after Mulligan had surrendered. The Emmet Guards would never have fought Mulligan, depend upon that. But the Guards were sworn to turn out on the British lion at all hours, and it was that oath which established our reputation as warriors in the old Secesh camp."—New York Sun.

But What of the Future? At the recent launching in Philadelphia of the armored cruiser Pennsylvania, John D. Long, the former secretary of the navy, told an amusing yarn about a sailor. "I used to know," he said, "in my boyhood in Maine a sailor of a religious cast of mind. This sailor and a magistrate once took me fishing. "I had good luck and so had the sailor, but the magistrate's luck was very poor. He didn't get a nibble. During the time I hauled in eight fish and the sailor seventeen, the magistrate's cork never so much as bobbled. He sat on the bank with nothing to say, smoking moodily. "Suddenly he hooked a tremendous fish—a five-pounder at least. Just as he was about to land this fish his line broke and it got away. "He dashed down his pipe, and for several minutes he swore dreadfully. The sailor took him to task. "You ought to be ashamed," he said, 'magistrate like you, one that's supposed to set an example, cursing and swearing like a street rowdy—before this here boy, too. You, a magistrate!" "Oh, it ain't as a magistrate that I'm swearing. It's as a fisherman," says the other. "That's all right about that now, said the sailor, 'but in the hereafter, when the devil takes the fisherman, what will become of the magistrate?" THE FALL OF THE LEAF. How Thoroughly Nature Prepares for Her Off Season. Dr. Andrew Wilson writes in the Illustrated London News: "The story of the fall of the leaf is an interesting one. It teaches us how nature prepares for her off season, in one respect at least. The vitality of the leaf is lessened. Its sap no longer suffices for its nourishment, and even if the vital fluid were supplied to the leaf its cells, worn out, are no longer capable of utilizing the nourishment afforded. Then comes a time when nutrition falls. It is not demanded and nature cuts off the supply. Changes now ensue in the structure of the leaf. We find a layer of corky substance formed between the leaf stalk and the branch. Cork is always in plants, a tissue of low vitality; when it is fully formed it represents practically a dead substance. This layer, therefore, serves as the boundary line between that which is living in the plant and that which is dead or dying in the leaf. Then comes dryness, always fatal to plant tissues. The corky layer shows a line of demarcation which rapidly becomes more and more distinct and finally the breath of the autumn winds causes the separation to be completed and the dead leaf falls to the ground." The Amber Industry. The other day it was reported from Prussia that, though the amber industry had been dull of late, the trade in imitation amber had been highly satisfactory. It now seems, smokers will be interested to know, that even the briar root pipe is not what it is supposed to be. The briar root of commerce is the root of the large growing heath. Briar in this connection is said to be a corruption of "bruyere" (heath). The briar root industry has had a somewhat curious history. First begun in the Pyrenees some fifty years ago, it traveled along the French Riviera and the Ligurian coast (taking Corsica by the way) and reached Calabria in the south. By the very nature of the business, when a certain district has been exhausted of all its roots, the industry must come to an end there. The Italian branch is not expected to survive more than ten years. An Early to Bed City In Vienna every man's home is practically his prison from 10 o'clock at night until 6 in the morning. The Austrian capital is a city of flats, and at 10 o'clock each night the entrance door of each block is locked. Any one passing in or out after that time must pay the concierge a fine, the amount of which is twopence up till midnight and fourpence from then till 6 in the morning. Going out to post a letter after 10 o'clock entails the payment of two fees, one for being let out and another for being let in while prolonging a visit to a friend's after 10 o'clock would also involve two nines, the first that one might quit the friend's house and the second that one might enter one's own. The result of this irritating tax is that Vienna is the earliest to bed capital in Europe Unappeased. Little Corina had in her extreme youth been passionately fond of dolls albeit a trifle destructive of them. There came a day, a "strange, sad day," when sawdust and false hair no longer fascinated her. She demanded a real baby. Her parents protested that the realization of her demand would involve them in financial ruin. "I don't believe real babies are so expensive as you think they are!" exclaimed Corina. "I see every day just lots and lots of ever so poor people with them." Heaven.

ANNOUNCEMENT Forty years ago rival food manufacturers delighted in calling me an enthusiast on pure food manufacture and culinary science.

There is an American race, formed by fusion of the original races that made the English. Ask You Druggist for Allen's Foot-Ease.

England's Iron Imports. The large imports of iron ore into England—about one third of the total amount consumed—is not due to any fear of the exhaustion of the supply in Great Britain, but to a desire to have the nonphosphorous iron used in the acid process. There is a large, almost unlimited supply of iron, containing phosphorus in Scotland and in the Cleveland and Staffordshire mines. The imported ore is largely from Bilboa, Spain. Opium Smoking in France For some time past doctors in France have been warning the public against the dangers of the latest craze — opium smoking.

Sabra, Montana, Oct. 19th.—A great many men in this neighborhood used to complain of pains in the back, but now scarcely one can be found who has any such trouble. Mr. Gottlieb Min is largely responsible for the improvement for it was he, who first of all found the remedy for this Backache. He has recommended it to all his friends and neighbors, and in every case it has had wonderful success. Mr. Mill says:— "For many years I had been troubled with my Kidneys and pains in the small of my back. I tried many medicines but did not derive any benefit until last fall, when I bought a dozen boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills. After using them a few days I began to improve, my back quit aching and I felt better and stronger all around. I will keep them in the house right along for in my opinion they are the best medicine in the market to-day, and if my back should bother me again, I will use nothing else."
