Charles Whiting, a well known sporting man died Thursday of last week of heart failure. He was a native of Kentucky, but lived in Kansas City a quarter of a century. The funeral took place last Sunday at the Vine Street Baptist church, the Rev. Dr. Ewing officiating. Mr. Whiting was a liberal giver to the charitable institutions of Kansas City. CASH OR CREDIT AT FIRM OF DUFF AND REPR. The long series of their business standing in Kansas City in furniture business warrants us in saying their business methods are right. We invite your attention to the fact that they handle nothing but first-class goods, the best that money will buy Our sales throughout the community have been perfectly satisfactory to the buyers. We have spent numbers of years studying the wants of our customers, now comes the season of the year when every good man should take unto himself a wife, and to satisfy her we have prepared to assist you in doing so, by asking you to visit our store before you go elsewhere.

Too Many Wheels Old John Curtis, the Atchison clock tinkerer, mended a clock one day, says the Globe, and when he went to collect his pay the woman noticed that he had left one wheel out. "How is this, Mr. Curtis?" said the woman, "you have left a wheel out of the works." Curtis was anxious to get his money. "Oh, that's all right," he said, "that was what was the matter with it."—Kansas City Journal. The Young Man's Chance. The young man is in demand. If he falls to avail himself of some kind of an opportunity it is usually his own fault. The elder Vanderbilt once said that you could take a young man and stick him down anywhere and if he had the right kind of stuff in him he would get on and save a little money. This may be a strong statement, but there is a good deal of truth in it. America Rules Germany A German economist, Prof. Jastrow, has written an essay in which he deprecates the existing feeling of fear and of dependency on the American banking and industrial market by the investing, commercial and manufacturing circles of Germany, which, says the professor, gives Germany the appearance of being a dependency of the United States. Mrs. L. Ashton Woods, graduate of Freedmen's Hospital and Training School for Nurses at Washington, D.C., Superintendent of Moses Prolvident Hospital at Baltimore, Md., and late Superintendent of Douglass Hospital and Training School at Kansas City, Kas. Mrs. Woods is well informed along the line of the care, management and appreciation of a hospital by her people. The training of our young colored women in the profession of nursing and sending them out to care for the poor sick in their homes and work hand in hand with the physician, will eventually break down the prejudice that now exists among the colored people to a hospital. Mrs. Woods has formed and incorporated her association under the state laws of Kansas with headquarters at 347 Washington Avenue, Kansas City, Kas. The officers names are as follows: Mrs. Laura B. Smith, President. Miss Frances Gamer, Vice President. Mrs. Ella E. Braxton, Rec. Sec'y. Miss Emma T. Brown, Cor. Sec'y. Mrs. Armilda C. Scott, (Bonded) Treasurer. Mrs. L. Ashton Woods, General Superintendent and Manager. The association has fitted up a branch office at 1227 $ \frac{1}{2} $ Highland avenue. Kansas City, Mo., where nurses can be had at any time. Secret orders can have their sick cared for at reasonable rates. Churches can have their poor sick cared for by calling up a nurse. The association has made arrangements with the editor of the Rising Son to open and run a subscription list for the contributors. The list was kindly headed by Rev. S. W. Bacote, with a large base burner, hard coal stove. Natural Supposition A friend of Edward MacDowell attended a recital given by a mediocre teacher's pupils and when he met the American composer he remarked: "I heard one of the pupils, a little girl of 8, play your 'To a Wild Rose.'" The composer sighed dejectedly. "I suppose," MacDowell remarked, "that she pulled it up by the roots." Death of British Centenarian. An authentic centenarian, Viscountess Glentworth, died recently in England, age one hundred years and three months. She was married seventy-seven years ago to the grandson of the Earl of Limerick and celebrated her golden wedding with her second husband in 1897. Erecta Many Churches. The board of church extension of the Methodist Episcopal church has aided in the erection or saving of over 12,500 churches, expending nearly $8,000,000 for these purposes. Houseamiths The "housesmiths" are those iron workers who put together the steel skeleton frames which are now used in the construction of all large buildings. Build Many Submarines. England has nine submarine war vessels built or building, and France has fifty. Their presence is expected to make blockades impossible. Milwaukee Is Half German. The most distinctly German city in the United states is Milwaukee, where more than half the population is of German stock. Electric Line Parks. Rural parks to the number of 352 are maintained by the trolley car companies of the United States. Mexico Buys American Books. Over $200,000 worth of American books were sold in Mexico last year. KANSAS CITY MO., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13. 1903. Looking into the fire is very injurious to the eye, particularly a coal fire. The stimulus of light and heat united soon destroys the eyes. Looking at molten iron will soon destroy the sight. Reading in the twilight is injurious to the eyes, as they are obliged to make great exertion. Reading or sewing with a side light injures the eyes, as both eyes should be exposed to an equal force of light. Those who wish to preserve their sight should preserve their general health by correct habits of living, and give their eyes just work enough, with a due degree of light. An Overblessed Father "There air two things," said Josh Billings, "for which a man is generally unprepared. They are—twins." Still less is a man prepared for twins born in two different years. In the house of one of the well-known inhabitants of Chicago a child was born shortly before 11 o'clock on the last night of the old year, and soon after midnight a second caree into the world. The result is that though the children are twins they will have birthdays on different days, for the one will have to be celebrated on December 31 and the other on January 1 of the following year. Defect of the Box Kite. The chief defect of the box kite, of which Dr. Langley's aerodrome is an elaboration, is that the weight increases with the cube as rapidly as the lifting power does with the square, so that the larger the kite the less it will lift in proportion. Prof. Graham Bell's kites are equal-sized triangles, so that they need no bracing, and it is found that the lifting power increased at a greater rate than the increase in weight. A flock of these kites recently lifted a 200-pound weight. Work of Historian Klopp Onno Klopp, the historian, who died recently in Vienna, at the age of eighty-one, wrote perhaps the longest history of the Stuarts in existence. He was in the service of the King of Hanover, till 1866 and was marked for his bitter hatred of the Prussians. That prevented his completing his edition of Leibnitz's works, as the Prussian government, after the war, refused to let him consult the library and archives at Hanover, where the Leibnitz manuscripts are. Cathedral Project Not Popular Cathedral Project Bishop Potter of New York is experiencing much difficulty in raising the great sums necessary for the construction of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Many clergymen and laymen of the diocese regard the project as medieval and a decided waste of money. So strong is this feeling that the bishop has been much disappointed at lack of contributions. Rich parishioners seem to have closed their pocketbooks for a time at least. Not Obliged to Smoke Under the new rule West Point cadets may smoke pipes. Probably it is intended that pipes shall conduce not to peace, but to generalship for the benefit of anxious or alarmed parents it should be stated that the rule does not make smoking compulsory. American Cotton Mart Austrian cotton mills use 318,000,000 pounds of cotton a year, two-thirds of which is American. The cotton is shipped from the United States direct to Bremen or Hamburg, and then forward by rail or on the River Elbe to its place of destination. Better Late Than Never. In no country in the world are courtships so abnormally long as in Bohemia, where engagements commonly last from fifteen to twenty-years, in fact, there recently died at the age of 99 an old man who had been courting for seventy-five years, and who was married on his deathbed. When a man has for his aim the good of others, by sacrifice, unselfish labor, success is bound to crown his efforts. M. DR. J. E. PERRY. Never before in the history of the Afro-American population at Kansas City have there been so many energetic Negro business men actively engaged in mercantile pursuits as now—or so many colored college-bred ministers, lawyers, professors, doctors etc., of high intellectual and executive ability of such unusual degree. The number of negro doctors in the last few years have been doubled and quadrupled and still they come. Men of high moral standard and professional excellence of which any race or community might well feel proud. Among the recent additions to our medical fraternity may be mentioned Dr. J. Edward Perry, late of Columbia, Mo., who has a residence at 1214 Vine street and an office at 704 East 12th street. This gentleman deserves more than passing notice, being unusually brilliant. He graduated with high honors from Meharry Medical College in the year 1835, served his country with credit during the Spanish American war. At the outbreak of this struggle he was instrumental in organizing two companies of volunteers for the Seventh Immune regiment, over one of which he was commissioned as lieutenant, ready to serve his country on Cuban battlefields, marine hospital or wherever duty called him. At the close of the war he received an honorable discharge, the uniform of war, shot and shell was doffed and the intellectual accoutrements in the shape of medical books, microscopes and all the delicate instruments necessary to wage a tireless war in the disease germ hostile country have been amassed by him. He spent considerable time at Chicago at the Post Graduate, better preparing himself for his professional duties. We are reliably informed that in Columbia, Mo., he stood high among her citizens of all classes and was regarded by the Medical faculty and students of the great state university as a scholarly, upright gentleman of broad culture and progressive methods. This opened to him exceptional advantages in Medical research. We wish him that large measure of success to which his ability and painstaking methods entitle him. 10 Demolish Eifel Tower. Paris' Eifel tower will stand for only a few years longer. A commission appointed to decide on the uses to which the Champ de Mars shall be put has ordered that the tower be torn down at the end of the concession, which expires in 1910. More Blame for Unions. "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." WANTED TO IMPROVE RACE. Eccentric French Millionaire Left Money for Giant's Dowry. M. de Saint Ouen de Pierreccourt, an eccentric French millionaire, died a short time ago and left the greater part of his fortune to his native city of Rouen, stipulating that the municipality was to found an annual prize of $20,000 as a dowry for a giant and a giantess in order to regenerate the human race. An amicable arrangement has now been made between the heirs and the city of Rouen. The family attacked the will on the ground that the "giant clause" was impossible of execution. By the arrangement now made the city of Rouen will pay the heirs $600,000, while out of the residue it undertakes to found an undertaking, "inspired by the idea of protecting, preserving and improving the human race, but which shall not cost more than $160,000." The details of this undertaking have not yet been divulged. WANTED ONE TO WABBLE. Provincial Dandy Would Go Capital Swell One Better. Chick was considered the dandy of Slocum-on-Mud, and when he came up to London always made a study of what he considered the latest fashions in order to introduce them into his native village. With this end in view, after watching closely the attire of the male habitues of Piccadilly, he went into a hosier's shop and asked for gloves. He was shown several pairs, but astonished the shopkeeper by saying: "But I want three." "Three gloves? Dear me! Do you mean three pairs?" "No, I want three gloves." "Nobody can wear more than two." "I know that; most on 'em owyears one and wabbles the other; but I want three—two to wear and one to wabble."—London Telegraph. On the Road. Sweet, we must never meet and part again. "I were too much pain. We were too much go our journey through this life. Sweet, you and I must never meet and kiss, because too much laughs. Sweet, you and I must follow separate ways And pass our days And not too much remember nor forget Too utterly for yet, remains the unknown in Wherein (All our wayfaring being past and done) At set of sun After the shine and rain We take our case, and maybe meet again. Quite a Monument Some one has proposed that a monument be erected to the memory of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. What better monument could be conceived or could be more lasting than the American republic? Climba Mountain in Auto. Lucius J. Phelps, of Stoneham, Mass., has just succeeded in climbing Mt. Washington in a motor carriage in one hour and forty-six minutes. This is the shortest time in which the ascent has been made. Good Sign. Chicago beef packers declare that there is no reason for an increase in the price of beef. This assurance that a reason is considered necessary is a hopeful indication.—Washington Star. Absent-Minded Tanner A Peabody, Mass., tannery, run by two partners shut down the other day. One of the partners went to Boston, leaving the other in the shop. At noon time the hero of the tale went to the boiler room, got up steam, and then blew the whistle for himself to go home to dinner. The chestnut-crop is a failure, but the tiresome story-teller is with us always. NUMBER 34 LEXINGTON NEWS The entertainment given by the Young People at Zion A. M. E. church was quite a success. Rev. Jackson was here Sunday and preached Sunday night at the Second Baptist church. Prof. G. H. Green and his faculty attended the Teachers' Association at Higginsville last week. Mrs. Louise Parker is still very ill. Mrs. H. M. Walker is also ill. Miss Eliza Young is here visiting her brother Rev. Young. Mrs. Katie Colley was brought from Independence quite ill Sunday morning. Master Wallace Swaney is quite ill. Mrs. Nettie Hawkins has been sick with the rheumatism. Mr. Will Love got his arm cut very bad Saturday night. Mrs. Howell of Odessa was here Saturday visiting her sister Mrs. Burton, and was over and sat up with Mrs. Walker. She left Monday morning and took her niece with her. Mr. Albert Jones was brought home from Fulton and buried by the Knights of Tabor, Thursday, November 5. He leaves a wife and a brothers, Mr. Isaac Jones, to mourn his loss. He was highly esteemed by the Second Baptist church. He was treasurer up until the time of his illness and had been for many years, and also a deacon. He was esteemed by all who knew him. His funeral was preached by Rev. Howell, assisted by Rev. J. G. Hayes. J. T. McCampbell Starts a New Drug Store. Mr. J. T. McCampbell has opened a drug store at 2304 Vine street, stocked with a full line of drugs, candies, toilet articles, perfumes, cigars and tobacco. The store is provided with telephone service (Tel. 159 East). Mr. McCampbell is well known in this city. He graduated from Lincoln High school of Kansas City in 1898 and is also a graduate from the school of pharmacy of the Kansas University, class of 1901, completing a three years' course in two years. Mr. McCampbell successfully conducted the Capitol Pharmacy in Topeka, Kans., for the past two years. He took the Missouri State Board examination in pharmacy in April, 1922, and out of 56 candidates for examination was one out of the 22 who succeeded in passing. He is a registered pharmacist in both Missouri and Kansas. It is hoped that success will attend his venture. NOTICE. The Executive Committee of the Interstate Literary Association will hold its annual meeting soon to transact business relative to the session which is to be held at Fort Scott, Kansas, during the holidays. All literary societies will please select delegates, and send names of same to E. J. Hawkins, 12 Hendrick street, Fort Scott, Kansas, or E. G. Stafford, 505 Washington avenue, Kansas City, Kansas. Enrollment fee for new societies, $1.50; for old ones, $1. Please attend to this at once, as alclubs who wish to be represented on the program must report on or before November 21, 1903. T. W. BELL, President. E. G. STAFFORD, Cor. Sec. The Great American Hen. It will astonish not a few people to be told that the most valuable of our crops, excepting only corn, wheat and hay, is eggs. The lay of the American hen is worth about $300,000,000 a year. All the cattle and hogs slaughtered in the country are worth less, and so is the country's total yield of both gold and silver. Increase of Gold. Gold now constitutes nearly one-half of our stock of money. RELIGIOUS COMMENT Span of One Day. In the splendor of the valley, Flower studded-hill begin- With the cream and drooping willow In the grove of the pine firl. In the posture on the hillside Graze the solenm, meek-eyed kire, While the sweetness of the hayfield Mingles with the colorous pine. Mingles with the pine tree's balsam Waxing from the petals of bird While the heavens overarching, Like stained-glass windows softly obstructed. Glorify the days' swift matching, Love my nature's twilight hymn. As above the peaceful valley. Loom the mountains vast and grim. Shadows lengthen—day is dying— Homeward face the roving kire— Over the pebbles' mouth the vine; Faster, lower droop the shadows— From time's brief loam the day is torn; Darkness shrouds the beautious valley; See' the gloom of mount is riven; Lavid silver threads the air; Rifts of light like heralds follow; Bursts the moon in radiance fair; Valley streetlet wood and millop Glotified, transfigured lie In the beauty of the night time— 'Neath the throne of God on high. -Boston Transcript. QUIET HOUR Love Yourself Last. "He that loses his life for My sake shall find it."—Matt. x. 29. Selfishness is the cause of nineteenth of the misery in the world and of nineteenth of the other tenth. Selfishness is a despicable and demoralizing form of deprivacy. It is the cracked tire of the wheel of progress, the broken shaft in the engine of moral improvement, a kind of spiritual earthquake, which turns everything topsy turvy and makes harmony, brotherliness and true religion utterly impossible. Let us think a moment. What do we mean by selfishness. Certainly not self love in any true sense, because selfishness is not the building up of self, but the destruction of self. Indeed, there is very little self love in the world. The man who is in love with himself is a poor sort of creature, who must be demented. We cannot love ourselves if we have any sense, for no one knows better than we do that we are not worthy of love. Selfishness, therefore, is not pure love of self, but an ignoble passion for grasping more than our share, regardless of the rights and claims of others. It means that brotherhood is a myth, and that it our table is well supplied our neighbor may starve, or if we keep ourselves from the commission of crime our fellowmen need not look to us for any help to resist temptation. We hold ourselves unresponsible for everything except our own personal condition. But, you say, if we were really appreciative of the suffering about us, life would not be worth living, and we should all have broken hearts if we literally bore one another's burdens. The answer is, the sooner our hearts are broken, from such a cause the better. If it would be a very hell on earth to have been a realization of the crimes and wretchedness of mankind, then let us live in that kind of hell until we can make it a heaven. You have no right to do anything to keep yourself from realizing the condition of others, for they and you belong to the same family, and you have no right in the sight of God, to eat your bread in peace if you know that some one is starving. What kind of a world are we making? Is it a God's world? A Christ's world, or a world filled with cruel demons—a world in which the chief purpose is to get everything and to give nothing? Why should we not suffer if others are suffering? Suppose that by some magic our selfishness were eliminated and a divine and pitying love should take its place; suppose we were filled with a holy determination to give needed protection to every young man who now seeks in vain for the good cheer of an honest life, and to hold in our sisterly embrace every poor girl who is driven by desperation to an unholy career; would the world be any the worse? Suppose the church should say, "We are too busy to talk about theology; we will do that when we have eternity before us; for the present we must get out the lifeboats and save the tempest-tossed and shipwrecked," what then? What then? Why, for the first time we should understand Christianity. The New Testament would become an open book and religion a blessed reality. Lose yourself and you will find yourself. Love yourself last and the stars will shine with a brighter beam. Save some one, give some one a share of your plenty, pity the poor and oppressed, let no day pass without a kindly word or a generous deed, and angels will come and visit you, for you will be doing God's work in God's way. If you wish to go to heaven in the hereafter, you must put a bit of heaven into some forlorn life here.—Rev George H. Hepworth. Giving. All that is of help and service to one's fellow man is God's service, and they who ungrudgingly open heart and hand for the benefit of all, have truest happiness and greatest plenty, for the heart grows rich in giving, and the more one gives the fuller his hands become, the richer his heart grows. Too often we set limits to our means of giving, and under-estimate our ability to help. Much treasure is in our hand; yet we hesitate to give—it may be through fear, pride, meanness or ignorance; possibly we have yet to learn that the power to give grows out of giving—that the more we pass on and use the more we shall have to use. There is no lack to them that know the blessed secret of passing on the good things of life, for even as they part with their love, sympathy or gold, they are supplied with a fresh and ever increasing store. The great source from whence all good comes never fails to meet their wants. No generous hand or loving heart was ever allowed to go poverty-striken. Go! never forgets the giver in his service. If you want a blessing, give it; if you want sympathy, give it; if you crave for love, give it; and your heart shall be long be satisfied. Whatever you would have others do for you, do for them likewise, without grudging, without thought of self, or fear of stint, and your life shall grow richer, with an ever-increasing abundance of love and plenty in all things.—M. K. Make Exctr Day Count The one who starts out in the morning with a determination to do something during the day that will amount to something, that will be distinctive, that will have individuality, that will give him satisfaction at night, is a great deal more likely not to waste his day in frivolous, unproductive work than the one who starts out with no plan. Begin every day, therefore, with a program and determine that, let what will come, you will carry it out as closely as possible. Follow it up persistently, day after day, and you will be surprised at the result. Make up your mind at the very outset of the day that you will accomplish something that will amount to something; that you will not allow callers to fritter away your time, and that you will not permit the little annoyances of your business to spoil your day's work. Make up your mind that you will be larger than the trifles which cripple and cramp medicine lives, and that you will rise above petty annoyances and interruptions, and carry out your plans in a large and commanding way. Make every day of your life count for something; make it tell in the grand results, not merely as an added day, but as an added day with something worthy achieved. Religious Culture. One of the watchwords of this age is Culture. This means far more than fitting a man for a special trade or craft. For the man should be more than a trade. He should have aspirations above the bread he wins. He is the inheritor of all the ages past, and heir apparent to all that can come. Our culture seeks a full, harmonious development of all our faculties; freedom from narrowness; a royal hospitality to everything great and greatening; sympathies as wide as humanity in this world or any other; feelings, catholic and high, responsive to the laws and sacrifices of the universe. Our education must draw out every possibility of a man, make the most of circumstances and utilize to the utmost all proffered helps, human and divine. Ours is not a training for to-day, but for all days and beyond. In so broad a curriculum religion must have place. That culture is narrow and small that pertains only to the earthward side of our nature. For there are certainly Godward capacities. And religion which embraces there is large enough and strong enough to make every earthward culture a subordinate department.—Bishop Warren. The Sky of Life. God's mercies are always more numerous than we see them. We chose to call one thing or another a benefit and a blessing because it happens to fit our desires, or, at least, our ideas of what a blessing ought to be. But we are too insensible, too shortsighted, to see all the stars of God's goodness in our sky. Only here and there we perceive a point of light, a larger or a lesser sun or planet. But had we finer spiritual vision, we should perceive a the innumerable points of light in what are now to us but the dark interstellar spaces. The highly sensitized plate of the astronomical photographer reveals a countless multitude of stars where a field glass, or even a telescope, fails to discover aught but blank space. We have not gone so far yet in our spiritual perceptions—we are not yet so spiritually sensitized—as to see our sky a blaze of light. But each new revelation, each new star, or group of stars, as it appears above our horizon, ought to be an evidence that the dark is not darkness, but light unceives. The sky of life is not merely studded with mercies. It is itself mercy.—Patterson Du Bois. Unity With God. Separation is the secret of power. To be united to the world is to absorb its weakness, to be united to God is to be a channel for his blessing which would flow through us to the world about us. Our Places In Heaven. There will be countless crowns in heaven, but there will be no misfits SCENES INCIDENTAL TO FORMATION OF NEW REPUBLIC OF PANAMA JUSICIAN, SOLDIER AND OFFICERS OF COLOMBIAN POW WAR ARMY THE SHIP IN THE HARBOR President Roosevelt has recognized the de facto government of Panama and served notice on Colombia that "the peaceable traffic of the world across the isthmus shall no longer be disturbed by a constant succession of unnecessary and wasteful civil wars." This action is taken to mean that the isthmian canal is to be constructed and at Panama, and that the new republic will continue and be under the protection of the United States, as Cuba is. The recognition of the de facto government is not a formal recognition of the republic of Panama. It is for the protection of American citizens and property. The provisional government is the only government there JUSICIAN, SOLDIER AND OTHER COLOMBIAN REGULAR ARM and the American consul will deal with it. The message sent to Minister Beaupre at Bogota is significant. Colombia's sovereignty on the 1stmus will be again recognized when its rule has been re-established by peaceable methods but not by war. Secretary Hay instructed Minister Beaupre to say to Colombia that the president "holds that he is bound, not merely by treaty obligations but by the interests of civilization, to see that the peaceable traffic of the world across the isthmus of Panama shall no longer be disturbed by a constant succession of unnecessary and wasteful civil wars." Colombia will not be allowed to make war to regain possession of the isthmus. If it can secure possession by peaceable means it may do so, but the United States warships will not PRESIDENT FARDOOUN OF SOUTH AFRICA permit an attack on the new government. While it is true that the recognition of the provisional government is only conditioned on its ability to maintain itself, little doubt is felt at Washington that the new republic will be of a permanent character. The new government will continue for about four months, when the isthman congress, yet to be formed, will be called upon to form a government. It will then be in order for ministers to be appointed between the United States and Panama, which will constitute full political recognition of the latter state. A treaty will be made with it, and under that treaty a new concession for the canal will be secured. It is admitted that there may be necessarily some limitations on the independence of the new republic, because of its intimate relations with this government, the same as were fixed in the Cuban constitution by the Platt amendment. The necessity will be greater because of the necessity for the United States to have control of the canal and the entrances to it, including the cities of Colon and Panama. To Acting Consul General Ehrman at Panama a message has been sent from the State Department on much the same lines as the one dispatched to Minister Beaupre. When satisfied that a de facto government exists the consul general is instructed to enter into relations with it for the protection of citizens of the United States and the maintenance of traffic across the isthmus. Consul Gudger, who has been on leave of absence at his home at Ashville, N. C., has left for Colon. Rear With the Nashville, Dixie and the Atlanta, the government has a sufficient force of bluejackets on the scene to prevent interference with com- Admiral Coghlan, who conveys him to the isthmus, sailed on the President's yacht, the Mayflower, his own battle-ship, the Olympia, being laid up for repairs at the Norfolk navy yard. On his arrival at the isthmus Rear Admiral Coghlan will assume command of the United States naval forces until relieved by Rear Admiral Glass, who, as the former's senior, will be ranking officer on his arrival from Acapulco, with the ships Marble-head, Concord and Wyoming and the collier Nero. From Commander Delano of the Dixie a message has been received announcing the officer's arrival at Colon, the landing of an adequate force of marines from his ship, and A VIEW ON TOP OF CITY WALL AT CAPTAGINA COLONIAL the recall of the bluejackets from the Nashville. Commander Hubbard cabled that the isthmus from one side to the other was in the hands of the revolutionists. This statement is of the greater importance. The United States government, being bound by treaty to maintain order and preserve free traffic across the isthmus, is now under the obligation to prevent hostile collisions either along the line of the Panama railway or at the termini, Panama and Colon. Thus the future attitude of the Colombian government toward the new republic of Panama becomes of little importance, for it is practically impossible for it to go to war with Panama. Officials familiar with the country declare that it is impossible to move a Colombian army overland to the isthmus owing to the character of the country. On the other hand, if an attempt is made to bring troops either to Colon or Panama by water the United States naval officers at those points will interfere. New Governor at Colon. The government of the republic of Panama has appointed Senior Porferlo Melendez civil and military governor of Colon, pending the appointment of new officials. Gov. Melendez has notified the old officials that they may remain at their posts for the present if they swear allegiance to the new republic. He has also notified the steamship agents that Colombian ports on the Atlantic are closed to all arrivals. This refers only to their nonacceptance of troops from coast ports. A steam launch was sent to capture Bocas del Toro in the interest of the new republic. No difficulties are expected there. The new republic doubtlessly is firmly established. There are no Colombian troops on the isthmus, and satisfaction is expressed everywhere over the new order of things. American employees of the railroad and others have been armed with rifles and revolvers supplied by the United States cruiser Nashville. Together CARIBBEAN BRA.

The change occurred without blood-shed. "The United States gunboat Nashville and the transport Dixie, with 450 American marines, are co-operating with the railroad company in maintaining order." Another dispatch from the consul says: "Federico Boyd, Jose Arajano and Tomas Arias, representing the provisional government, have communicated." --- ed to the consults of the foreign powers that the new state has been constituted. "The Province of Cauca shows no sign of revolution, nor has the revolution thus far spread to other provinces. "The new state assumes all the former treaty and legal obligations of Colombia." The last information is regarded by the officials here as being most important, showing a disposition on the part of the new Republic of Panama not to repudiate the canal or other property rights acquired from Colombia. The Seat of Trouble. The city of Panama has a population of about 35,000, and is the capital of a department of the same name. HEZEK A. GUDGER Consul General for the United States at Panama, Who Is Returning to His Post. Strange to say, the department, which now has begun a fight for autonomy, was also independent of Colombia from 1859 to 1861. It has an area of 31,571 square miles and a population of 290,000. Panama City, the chief town of the district, is the seat of a large export and transit trade. It was burned by Morgan's buccaneers in 1671 and rebuilt on its present site in 1673. The present outbreak follows the rejection by the national senate at Bogota, the capital of Colombia, of the treaty with the United States for the building of the interoceanic canal, and the people of Panama department resent this action as being extremely hurtable to their interests, both industrial and commercial. They strongly favor the treaty with the United States, and now have declared their independence to procure the construction of the canal by this government. A serious outbreak in the department of Bolivar is also reported. The district affected is near Baranquilla, and commands the mouth of the Magdalena river. This is a strategic point of great importance, and its capture by the insurgents would greatly hamper the Colombian government, which would be compelled to detach troops from the Panama district to meet the outbreak. The whole country is in a highly feverish state, the clique at Bogota who control affairs is merely out for "graft"—to make all they can out of the canal concession, and the fall of President Marroquin, who only assumed power in 1900 as the result of a revolution, may be looked for at any time. Scrap steel is now welded into a homogeneous mass by a new composition under pressure. NAMA. Ventura—in the Spanish war. The Atlanta and the Dixie also figured prominently in the unpleasantness in Cuban waters. --- A VOICE FROM THE PULPIT. Rev. Jacob D. Van Dores, of 57 Sixth st. Fond du Lac, WI.

One of England's Old Inns One of the oldest inns in England is the George inn at Morton St. Phillips in Somerset. The Duke of Montmouthe slept there when he achieved the solitary success of his campaign, in June, 1685. He was shot at while standing at the window, but the bullet missed its mark. Oliver Cromwell, it is said, passed a night there. The license of this old hostelry dates from 1397. Care of Jewels. People who have jewels should remember that if turquoises are wetted they are apt to lose color. Pearls should be exposed to light and air as much as possible, but not to damp. Opals must never be exposed to great heat or they may crack and fall from their setting; don't forget this when warming your hands at the fire if you happen to wear an oval ring. Expenses of Banks. The operating expenses of a bank with a capital of $100,000 is 2.34 per cent of the loans and discounts, but the operating expenses are only 1.38 per cent if the bank has a capital of 1,000,000 or more. Has He Found It? Polk, Ark., Nov. 9.—A remedy that will absolutely cure Rheumatism has been discovered by Mr. George Hilland of this place. Mr. Hilland is satisfied that the remedy he has used is a sure cure, for it cured him of a very serious case of Acute Rheumatism when he was so bad that he could not move. This is what he says: "I was troubled with what is called Acute Rheumatism in 1900. I was in such shape that I could not move without help. I was treated by a physician, who helped me some, but I was still in great pain when my wife saw Dodd's Kidney Pills advertised as a cure for Rheumatism. She insisted on my trying them, and I felt better after taking the first box. I continued and now I am well and able to work all the time. I have found Dodd's Kidney Pills to be just what they are claimed to be, a perfect cure for Rheumatism." Mr. Hilland's very positive statement seems to settle all doubt as to whether or not Rheumatism can be cured. When you hear a man say that the time is ripe for reform he really means that it's rotten. DON'T SPOIL YOUR CLOTHES. Use Red Cross Ball Blue and keep them white as snow. All grocers. 5c. a package.

Fashion's wheel has turned again and it is the hour to unearth your cameos—if you have any. The oldtime cameos were made up chiefly in brooches, but those of to-day appear in many other forms. The largest are for belt clasps, and there are stickpins of cameos, cut buttons in the prettiest shapes, cuff links and flexible bracelets, which are charming. It is tae carving, not the color, which counts in the cameo. Great big cameos for belt clasps and buckles have an ornamental setting of silver or silver gilt. The silver is effective with the cameos. Smaller cameos are used in pairs for belt clasps. Small oval cameos are made into cuff buttons or studs, and others form cuff links made after the style of other modern cuff links. Girl's Gibson Dress. A mode that has long been popular, because of its good style and graceful style and graceful lines, is pictured here, made up in fleece backed plaque. Plaits are arranged in front and back, and taper toward the waist, which is slightly bloued in the front. The closing is under the plaits at the left side of the front, and the use of the fitted lining is optional. The collar is pointed, as is also the cuff, which finishes the bishop sleeve. The skirt is circular in ```markdown ``` shaping, and the deep plats give not only a pretty effect, but add fullness to the skirt. The design is appropriate for wash goods, silk or woolen, and will make a charming little school frock when made up of dark blue serge, trimmed with large buttons, or shaped bands of contrasting material might be used over the shoulder and on the skirt in place of buttons. With such a little dress one might wear a leather belt and the result would be most gratifying. A Word on Skirts and Sleeves. Because the stitched tucks and box plaited skirts have been used so much all summer, the many-gored skirt with a decided ripple will be a relief this fall. A twenty-two gored skirt is the "limit in extreme skirt models." This warning may indicate the popularity of straight gored skirts. The great point in making gowns this fall is to put off putting in the sleeve as long as possible. The sleeves have a pronounced puff or balloon about the elbow, but this balloon fullness must not hang limp as heretofore. Use fine milliners' wire to produce the crisp effect. Long, close-fitting cuffs replace the narrow ones. Three-decker skirts are much in evidence in new models. There is no end to the improvement of mercerized fabrics. Silk-striped flannel makes some smart autumn shirt waists. Velvet-covered buttons of various sizes are used on smart cloth dresses. You can take your choice between the corset coat and the square sacque. Almost anything from a tiny rose quilting to a six-inch ruche is known as ruching. A charming new squirlrel muff has ruffles and good-sized ears along the flat openings. Rosebud fringe will be quite as much favored for evening dress garniture as for hats. Pinked and raveled frills such as were worn a quarter of a century ago are revived. Immature dahlias are of a greenish hue, and these have been used on an imported white hat. Blouse of Ecru Silk. The blouse and sleeves are made with lengthwise box plaits with a sleeves are made box plaits with a band of fagoting in the middle of each plait. The little sleeve caps and the plastron are made of crosswise plaits, each fagoted in the same way. ```markdown ``` The collar and cravat ends are of lace, the latter fastened at the top with buttons. The cuffs are ornamented with buttons, and finished with frills -Wiener Chis To Wax New Floor. To wax a new floor use first a good wood "filler," which must be thoroughly rubbed off before it becomes too hard, and then a prepared wax. It is better to purchase this wax unless you have had a great deal of experience in mixing it. Apply the prepared wax with a thin woolen rag and polish SHORT COAT OF CREAM WHITE, CLOTH RICHLY ORNAMENTED WITH SOUTACHE, BRAID it in with a heavy brush or brick, rubbing the floor across the grain first and with the grain afterward. The wax must be applied in a very thin coat and thoroughly rubbed into the floor. After the floor has been filled and dried two coats of wax are necessary to finish it. The Well Kitchen An experienced housekeeper says that a fork is superior to a knife for cutting a steamed pudding or hot cake. It separates without making heavy. Potatoes should be peeled and allow to lie in cold water for a couple of hours before they are boiled, for thus greater whiteness is insured. To keep cheese from molding rub the cut part with butter and cover with white paper. Keep the cheese in a cool, dry place. Kerosene is an excellent insecticide. Applied liberally about the kitchen pipes and sink it will keep down the roaches that often make life a misery to the dweller in the city apartment house. To keep cheese from becoming moldy wrap it in a cloth dipped in vinegar and wring nearly dry. Cover the cloth with a wrapping of paper and keep in a cool place. Do not turn griddle cakes more than once or they will be heavy. For the same reason serve with the same side up as when removing them from the griddle. Griddle cakes are much lighter when the eggs are separated, the yolks being beaten to a thick cream and the whites, which must be added the last thing, to a stiff froth. With the Housewife Rubbing with a cloth dipped in paraffin will not only clean but improve the appearance of a shabby black iron bedstead. Grass stains on white material should be dipped in spirits of wine, after which they may be washed out with soap and water. Unbleached cotton shrinks much in the washing, therefore allow an extra inch in each yard when making a garment to allow for this peculiarity. Maldenhair fern will last much longer in vases if, before it is arranged with the flowers, its stems are put into a little hot water and kept there till the water becomes cold. Lamp wick should be soaked in strong vinegar and then well dried before being used. This precaution will insure a better light and a freedom from smoked lamp chimneys. One of the newest models for Fal is the rather long, loose coat, tt which additional charm is given by the circular capes. In the design shown here, the back is quite full, and the front is the regulation shape. The sleeve may be in flowing or bishop style. The collar is held in position by the use of a stole facing, thereby, affording a place for a bit of decoration in trimming, which may be of passementeric, crochet rings, tassels or buttons. This will give an air of dis- the circular capes. In the design shown here, the back is quite full, and the front is the regulation shape. The sleeve may be in flowing or bishop style. The collar is held in position by the use of a stole facing, thereby, affording a place for a bit of decoration in trimming, which may be of passementeric, crochet rings, tassels or buttons. This will give an air of distinction to the coat, and need not cost much, so that one will be able to have a very pretty coat and at slight expense. For fall wear nothing could be neater or prettier than this style. There are no intricacies in the pattern, in fact, any one possessing or dinary skill can make a most comfort able, serviceable garment, and at much less cost than the ready-made garments. Tussore, tweed, broad cloth, serge, chevlot or peau de sole are materials used for such purposes Cape and Coat Effect. Cape and coat effects continue their reign and new applications of the cape line idea are seen dally, but none are prettier than the one shown here in the charmingly youthful coat of red lady's cloth and black braid. The coat is made with front and back, good round fullness in the skirt and shaped by shoulder and under-arm seams. In fact, these are the cape the idea are seen daily, but none are prettier than the one shown here in the charmingly youthful coat of red lady's cloth and black braid. The coat is made with front and back, good round fullness in the skirt and shaped by shoulder and under-arm seams. In fact, these are the only seams in the coat, so one cat readily see how easily and quickly it can be put together. The cape collar also sews in the neck edge, thus saving a lot of time in the finishing The sleeve is of bishop shaping and is ornamented by bands of braid. It economy is necessary the braid might be supplanted by stitched bands or would be a pretty button for the cape and almost every one has one or two odd ones around. With such a simple model any mother who can use a needle car make a pretty coat, and so much cheaper than the ready-made ones. Red Silk Handbags. Handbags in geranium and red lou isine are considered smart. They may be unlined or lined with white or red china silk. Below a two-inch heading a casing is run to hold the broad geranium taffeta ribbons that are tie together and slipped over the arm. WOLF REVEALS A CRIME. Murder Brought to Light in Extraordinary Manner. Some peasants, while recently working near Dyakonoff, a village in Russia, noticed a wolf running at a little distance and carrying in his mouth something that looked like a portion of a human body. Naturally they were much disturbed, and straightway began to search for the animal's lair. After crossing a broad field they found it, and in the ditch near it they speedily earnthe head and clothes of a farmer named Agarkoff, who had disappeared a few weeks previously in a mysterious manner. The authorities were notified, and the investigation which they held soon showed that a terrible crime had been committed. Agarkoff's wife, it seems, was infatuated with a disreputable fellow named Ternchern, and as her husband was in the way she determined to get rid of him. Consequently she made him drunk one evening and induced Ternich to cut off his head with a hatchet, after which she mutilated the corpse and buried it. Fortunately and thanks to the wolf, she and Ternich are now behind prison bars—New York Herald. THE BEECHER OF RUSSIA. Greek Priest Is a Colossal Power In the Great Empire. The most powerful moral force in Russia, greater far than Tolstoi, is a priest named Petroff, who has been called the Henry Ward Beecher of the Museovite empire. He represents an entirely new element in the religious force of Russia, for the tremendously powerful organization of the Orthodox Greek church has never gone out of its buildings to come to the people, but behind the all-powerful barrier of conservatism and churchly power has had little in common except Petroff, the Beecher of Russia. ceremoniously with the "real people" of Russia. Petroff, with the strength of a courage and sincerity that has cast aside all precedent and prejudice, has come outside the church and undertaken the gigantic task of reaching the Russian peasant and preaching directly to them. "Christ the man," is the theme of his departure, at which even the church itself looked askance, not to speak of the distant attitude of the nobility and the classes. But Petroff considered not precedent nor prejudice. He engaged a hall in St. Petersburg and began the delivery of a long course of lectures on the life of Christ the man. As a plain matter of fact, the Orthodox Church did not look with favor upon this striking departure from Greek customs, but Petroff's eloquence was so convincing and his wonderful style of delivery so powerful, and back of it all the strength and earnestness of his convictions were so compelling, that he not only overcame the prejudice in his own church, but gathered around him the support of the court and society. Petroff now has full sway in Russia, and he is more popular than ever a priest has been before him. Faithful Setting Hen. A hen owned by John J. O'Brien, a diveryman in Norfalk, Conn., passed through fire and snake and water to batch a brood of chickens. O'Brien's livery stable was burned a few nights ago while the hen was setting in a barrel inside the barn. The upper part of the barrel took fire, but the stubborn hen refused to move. A stream of water hit the blazing barrel, extinguishing the fire in it and deluged the hen, but Biddy still continued to set. Recently she brought out eight chickens, and then she left the barrel.

Members of Philadelphia Church Are All Vegetarians. Vegetarianism is painted on the banner under which hundreds of people in Philadelphia, Pa., now stand. A great wave of this cult is now sweeping the city. "Man's food becomes his mind." might be considered the creed of this popular Philadelphia cult, whose followers are so impressed with the benefits derived from a diet without meat that they have harded themselves together, founded a church, the only one of its kind in the United States, and THE CHURCH Vegetarian Church and Pastor. sought to convert others to their way of thinking and living. The church, with its vegetarian pastor, vegetarian congregation and vegetarian choir, is called the First Bible Christian church of Philadelphia, Rev. Henry S. Clubb, the pastor, is hale and hearty, and his parishioners from year's end to year's end touch no meat. For some time Dr. Clubb has preached to Philadelphiaians the value, both to the moral and physical man, of disciplining the appetite for flesh food, and for more than seventy years he has followed the doctrines of the vegetarian church. The Philadelphia church was founded some years ago and its congregation has gradually grown from a mere handful of people to a flourishing body, new members now being constantly gained. The forms of their service are few and are very simple, but impressive. The golden rule is the basis of their creed, and a spirit of peace like that felt in the good old-fashioned Quaker meeting house precludes their place of worship. A vegetarian sanitarium has also been opened and is meeting with wonderful success. Robert Louis Stevenson's Books. Robert Lleut. W. E. Stefford, recently of the navy, now of the agricultural department, has about 200 books that used to belong to Robert Louis Stevenson, among them the Bible of Stevenson's good old Scotch father. He bought them in Samoa and took them with him to Guam and Manila. Mr. Twain. This drawing won a prize offered by St. Nicholas for the best caricature by children. Horses Made Deaf by Lightning. A few weeks ago the barn of a Walled Lake (Mich.) farmer was struck by lightning. A team of horses were in the building at the time and ever since then they have been stone deaf. Their owner is obliged to drive them with open bridles, flourish the whip when he wants them to go and pull on the lines when he wants them to stop. They are utterly irresponsive to the old words of command, even when shouted at the top of their owner's voice. Immense Potatoes. H. W.

BIRTHPLACE OF POET THREATENED WITH DESTRUCTION BY VANDALS. Authorities of Stratford-on-Avon Propose to Tear Down Buildings, in One of Which the Greatest Writer of English May Have Been Born. May I beg the courtesy of your columns to ask if it is possible that a new generation of Gastrells are at work in Stratford-on-Avon, this time pulling down ancient landmarks in Henley street, adjacent to the tenement, to gaze at which, as the birthplace of Shakespeare, all the world is making pilgrimages? The utmost that the researches of 150 years have developed is that, at the time of Shakespeare's birth, his father, John Shakespeare, was the owner of three tenements on the same side of that meager little thoroughfare—in one of which his illustrious son was certainly born! Is it worth while to destroy any tenement, contemporary or ancient, which may contain a timber of the house in which William Shakespeare might have been born? The occasion is, we are told, the presentation to Stratford-on-Avon of a Carnegie library. But surely there is rooms enough in Stratford-on-Avon, or in some of its outlying precincts (for it is wholly inland town), to build as many libraries as may be desired! There is little enough of Shakespeare even in Stratford-on-Avon, heaven knows! And one would suppose that that little might be permitted to remain. But what makes the mystery still more incredible is that the honorable mayor and aldermen of Stratford—although Mr. Carnegie has generously declined even to permit his name to be attached to the library at all, stipulating that it shall be called simply the Stratford-on-Avon public library, and although there is the entire country of Warwickshire to build libraries in—are pulling down historic or at least archale, houses on narrow little Henley street, so that they can save expenses by heating the library, when built, with the same hot air or hot water plant that is now used to heat another public—namely, the so-called Technical institute. Even on the lowest possible—the commercial—ground, it seems incredible that a body of Englishmen could proceed to tear down a portion of their town's stock in trade to save a few pounds! To save them from being laughed at, if not to save for posterity a possible relic of Shakespeare, do you not suppose, str, that a sufficient number of our citizens would be willing to make up amongst the cost of heating this Stratford-on-Avon public library, miniature building according to the dimensions announced? If this vandalism keeps on, even Englishmen will begin to regret that Mr. P. T. Barnum, in 1847, did not succeed in purchasing all of Stratford-on-Avon that the world cares about and setting it up in Bridleport, Conn. There, at least, it would have been out of the reach of Stratford-on-Avon aldermen, and desfroyers would have had to keep their hands off. APPLETON MORGAN. President of the Shakespeare Society of New York. Education In Reach of All. The great state universities now make the acquiring of an education possible to any boy or girl who has sufficient ambition to apply it. To an Outsider.

Saving by Electricity. The results of the change from steam to electrical power on New York's elevated railways are a reduction of cost per passenger from 2.24 cents under steam to 1.98 cents; an increase in gross earnings of $400,000, accompanied by a decrease in expenses of $99,000.

The agency of the American Bible Society in the Philippine islands was established in 1839. It covers work throughout the archipelago.

Mary wrote to me weekly, her letters being girlish descriptions of the pleasant times she was having on the continent, After she had been abroad some eight months she came home for a few weeks. Shortly after returning to the seminary, I noticed a change in the tone of her letters, something hard to describe, She seemed to be jyst as affectionate, but there was a sort of restraint, and I felt that I was not enjoying her full confidence as in the dear old home days. Then came a time when my usual weekly letter failed to appear, but this gave me no Bere te By “Some day I'll tell you about it.” uneasiness and it was not until no answer came to my second letter that | wrote to our mother, She replied, saying that she had not heard from Brussels in wo weeks, and begged me to come home at once, 1 telegraphed to Mademoiselle Villiers as 1 passed through London, and on arriving home a dispatch from her was gwait- ing me; it read: ‘Miss Livingston left home ten days ago for England,’ “TL started at once for Brussels, full jot grave forebodings. On arriving at the seminary I sent up my card and | was conducted to the private drawing: room of Mademoiselle Villiers. She told me that my sister had received a letter from our mother, requesting her to return to England at once, “My head was in a whirl. What did it mean? That Mary, who was the soul of honor, should have stooped to falsehood, was ineredible, The letter she had received was evidently a for- gery, Who was the forger and what the object? Above all, where was she now? “Failing to secure any further in- ‘formation I left Brussels for Paris, ‘placed the matter in the hands of skillful detectives, and returned to England, but our mother urged me to return at once to Paris and to leave nothing undone that would tend to throw any light on our darling’s dis appearance. I did so, but disappoint- ment awaited me; the detectives had accomplished nothing; they did not believe Mary had ever reached Paris. “Fifteen years had passed in fruit- less search, and after hunting through every city, town and hamlet between Brussels and Paris, | was again in the | Leal lop : ae ui | o md es shawl. latter city.

For myself, I had been there many times and was well acquainted with the officials in charge, We entered, and iny friends gazed curiously about. In long rows were marble slabs on which lay the bodies of the unknown and un- claimed dead. Passing one of these my attention was attracted to an old, faded shawl, which, with other gar- ments hung on a hook at the head of the dead, to assist in identifying the body. I recognized it as the shawl worn by the woman we had seen on the previous evening, and accosting one of the attendants, I asked if he knew the circumstances of Lor death. “‘Ah, mnsieur,’ said he, with the usual French shrug of his shoulders, ‘this woman was found in tae garret where she had been living.

I knew it at once—it was my sister's—the same you held in your hand this evening. “Trembling with anxiety I reached out my hand for it, Thers was no mistake, Inside the golden elzclet was engraved: “'J, L. to M.

The Doctor's store is being patronized by some of the best negroes in Kansas City. His business is flourishing and continues to increase. This goes to prove that the article which came out in the "Star" a few months ago stating that negroes would not patronize one another in business is absolutely false. Dr. J. N. BIRCH.

"My confinement in this institution is an outrage," explained the harmless inmate to the asylum visitor. "Jealous dairy companies have had me railroaded here. They feared that my new cattle corset would drive them out of business. What? Oh, nothing much. Just a little idea I had for lacing cows tight enough to make them give condensed milk."

A tramp, one might decide at first glance; at a second one could see that he had known better days. Not age but a sense of failure had bowed his form and drawn lines on brow and mouth. He had wrecked his life; he had nothing to live for, no one to love. The sharp click of shears suddenly attracted his attention. He raised his tired eyes from the road and turned in the direction of the sound. It came from a cemetery on a steep, green hill to his right. He could see the marble shafts gleaming through the trees. A neat picket fence enclosed it, and the gate was slightly ajar. of education and trough though—my a year ago.

A young woman was on her knees beside a grave, clipping the grass along its edge. Her back was turned to him and she had not heard his footsteps on the turf. In a soft, cultivated voice she was singing: "The sun is slinking fast, The daylight dies, Let love awake, and pay Her evening sacrifice." he felt a languid interest in watching the girl as she took some flowers from a basket and arranged them in a crown—white roses and pink, sweet peas—and scattered pansies on the velvety green award. Then she arose and stood at the foot of the grave, regarding it with a look of subdued satisfaction. Her face was turned in the direction of the blue shrub, behind which the intruder stood, and the sight of it made him start violently and come forward hastily. The girl's exclamation of surprise and alarm was cut short by the stranger's courteous lifting of his hat, any saying in the voice of a gentleman: "Do not be alarmed, madam. Forgive my intrusion; and may I ask your name?" The girl pushed her hair from her heated forehead with a nervous movement. "My name is Alice Osborne," she answered. "Osborne"—in a disappointed tone. "Are you not—you resemble my—someone I know. Did you ever hear of Alice Dale?" He spoke eagerly and yet hotly. Her eyes opened wonderingly upon him. "That was my mother's name. Is it she you mean?" "It can be no other. You are her very image—when I saw her first. The same features, the same wavy hair, the same pretty color—your eyes—how like her you are!" "I am glad you knew my mother," she said, gently. "Sit here on the grass and tell me about her. I was A man and a woman stand in a garden, the man holding a hat and the woman holding a sword. "Forgive my intrusion; and may I ask your name?" scarcely two years old when she lied." "And fortunate it was that she died then." The man's voice was full of bitter despair. "She escaped a world of trouble." "We will not speak of my father now," the girl said quickly. "Do you remember your father?" "Yes," reluctantly. "What became of you when he abscored with his partner's money?" the man went on, as though taking a grim pleasure in raking up past misdeeds. "A wealthy farmer adopted me. I am called Osborne now. I have a burdulous home and every advantage --- the rosy light; all gleam in the still bed by the cool arms of nestless birds are tated land and shim- fades the sunset red. or night comes peace Harper's Magazine. CRIFICE of education and travel. One great sorrow though—my foster father died a year ago. This is his grave." The man looked at it with new interest. Then he noted the black ribbons on the girl's simple white dress. "And you are happy in your new home?" "It is not new to me; I scarcely remember any other. I love my mother—I have always called Mrs. Osborne so." "But your father," persisted the stranger, "do you never think of him? Or have your new friends taught you to forget him?" A He stretched out his hand, trembling ly, to her. He stretched out his hand, tremblingly, to her. Alice looked sadly up at the placid evening sky. "I pray for him always," she mournured softly. The man's face gleamed with a sudden hope. "And would you be glad to know him? Would you forgive him?" "I forgive him long ago." She turned to him quickly, and noted his agitated face. "You know where my father is—tell me." "He has served his term of punishment. He is free once more. He is—Alice—I am your father!" The rosy light died out of the girl's face, her hands clutched the grass at her side. Even in her worst dreams she had never pictured her father like this. She shrank involuntarily from him as he moved a little nearer. Her eyes had no welcome for him. Without a word the convict turned away. The ray of hope faded from his face, and the old, bitter look returned. He got up slowly from the grass, and stumbled on his way blindly among the graves. Alice watched him for a moment unrelentingly. Then the bent, gravel head and stooping shoulders, the attitude of a man prematurely aged, moved her soul to pity. She sprang up and followed him. "Father!" she called. The man turned. The girl's arms were around his neck, her lips touched his rough beard, her soft hair brushed his check. "Father, what would you have me do for you?" the daughter asked after a pause. "Take your mother's place. Make a home for me. Had she lived I would not have sinned. Help me to be a better man." Alice drew herself from his arms with a sudden revulsion of feeling. Go away with him! live with him! She had not anticipated this. That she should shelter him for a time and provide money to start anew was all, surely, that could be expected of her. Money she knew she could obtain for him—was not that enough? The sun had set behind grey clouds; the night breeze moaned through the trees; she shivered in her thin dress. It seemed that all the brightness had gone from her young life with the setting of the sun. The man watched the expression of the girl's face, saw the struggle going on, the change from a light-hearted girl to a care-burdened woman. He was dimly aware of the magnitude of the sacrifice he had called upon her to make. And he knew, perfectly, that his destiny depended upon her decision. As he watched her, now hopefully, now despairingly, the expression of the sweet face changed again to one of high resolve, of noble purpose, and he knew that Duty had won the victory over Self. in his heart there grew a strong resolve, with God's help, to live down the past. He stretched out his hand, trem- --- --- blingly, to her. "You will come," he said in a voice husky with deep feeling. "For my mother's sake—and for yours," she said, and placed her hand in his. HAD A LAUGH COMING. Why Citizen Paid Gas Bill Without a Kick. "You must excuse my ignorance," he softly began at the window of the gas office, "but I want to settle a doubt in my own mind. Is your gas the same as laughing gas?" "I never heard any one laugh over it very much replied the clerk. "In fact, it is generally the other way." "But I—ha, ha, ha!" "You are laughing over it, it seems?" "Yes; can't help it, you know. My June bill was $2.25. We go away for July and shut the house up, and yet my July bill is much larger than the June." "Perhaps that's where the laugh comes in?" "I know it does—ha, ha, ha!" I know it does—na, na, na! "Yes, we are always hearing of those things, and it is unnecessary to say that they make us tired. The bill seems to be $4.80. "Yes." "And you—you—" "And you'll have to pay and not kick?" queried the astonished clerk. "That's it. I'll even—ha, ha, ha!" The clerk handed him back the change from a five-dollar bill and looked at him in such a way that the customer felt called upon to explain: "Yes, house all shut up for July, but we left six burners blazing away, and I thought you had me for a cool hundred dollars.

Harold celebrated his fifth birthday by attending Sunday school, his first experience. The teacher of the class to which he had been assigned gave to each child a card on which was printed the Apostles' Creed and told each one that she should expect them to memorize it by the following Sunday morning. Harold, having been given one of the cards, felt so very important to think he had a lesson to learn that on his return from Sunday school he rushed to his mother's room, and, holding the card for her to see, remarked importantly: "See, mother, what I shall have to learn by next Sunday!" "My dear child," exclaimed the mother, "you cannot possibly learn it by then." "Yes, I can, too," responded Harold, "Why, I know 'way down to hell now!'" Cost of Balloons.

Speeches of Governor Cummins, Senator Allison and Congressman Lacey Show the Party to Be United on the Paramount Issues of the Day. An encouraging sign of the times, a gratifying indication of the persistence of the right and the weakening of the wrong, is to be found in three notable Republican speeches delivered in the state of Iowa. In the first of these speeches, that of Gov. Cummins, at Des Moines, Sept. 26, one naturally looks for the reappearance of the " Iowa idea." But it is not there. You will not find a single allusion to the "monopoly-sheltering tariff;" not a word about the immediate necessity for tariff revision; no insistence upon "potential competition" as a means of bringing in an era of lowering prices; "domestic competition if possible, foreign competition if necessary." None of these things which Gov. Cummins has urged so strenuously in the past two years appears in the speech of Sept. 26. The " Iowa idea" is seemingly laid away and forgotten. For the most part the speech is sound in its Republicanism and stalwart in its protection as "the best adjustment that we can make within ourselves to enlarge the production of the country," he yet favors, through reelprocy, the larger admission of competitive goods from foreign countries, and the inevitable decrease of domestic production that must follow in the lines of industry selected for slaughter. Is it not astonishing that intelligent men should in one breath dilate TARIFF REFORM'S GREAT PROSPERITY MILL UNCLE SAM PROPRIETOR PROT FOREIGN TRADE CHANNEL9 Tariff Reformer—You see, Mr. Miller. di- thing from the force and power of P Uncle Sam (Miller)—Say, but you're a stopped going round? upon the tremendous blessings and advantages of protection and in the next breath advocate the purchase of a greatly increased volume of foreign competitive goods? Yet that is precisely the attitude of Gov. Cummins. From the standpoint of sound and logical economics it is the attitude of a schoolboy! Senator Allison, in his speech at Clinton, on the 10th of October, was much wiser and shrewder. He did not put both feet in the reciprocity trap. After telling his hearers that tariff revision must not be thought of at least until after the election next year, "not upon the voters have again passed upon the policy that should prevail in our tariff laws," the discreet and level-headed senator took safe, sensible ground regarding reciprocity. Thus: "It is probable that in the future provisions for such trade will be largely made by modifying our tariff on condition that such countries modify their laws so as to give us an equivalent and so that we will receive as well as grant benefits. This will be done so as not to impair our protective policy." If done at all—which it never will be or can be under a Republican administration—"this will be done so as not to impair our protective policy." That was McKinley's stand in the speech at Buffalo in 1901 that has been and still is being so flagrantly distorted and perverted. It is the stand of all sound Republicans: "Not to impair our protective policy." If our protective policy is not to be impaired, there can be no such thing as reciprocity in competitive products. Again said Senator Allison, always insisting upon safe and consistent qualifications: "In making these reciprocal arrangements, whether by law or treaty, with any country, care must be taken not to do injustice which would involve us in difficulty with other friendly countries with which we have treaties, or which we already given us great advantage in their laws for the free export of our products to such countries. Great Britain is an illustration of an open market for all our products. "In making modifications of our tariff in the future the possibilities of rectural legislation should be utilized so far as practicable, securing thereby valuable concessions without impairing the protective policy in our own country, and without doing injustice to countries that already give us free access to their markets, or access to them upon favorable terms." Note the saving clauses that we Note the saving charges must frame no reciprocity arrangements that will do injustice to friendly countries—for example, Great Britain—and that in securing concessions we must do it "without impairing the protective policy in our own country." By these wise and intelligent standards we can never have reciprocity in competitive products. It is an impossibility. Senator Allison has strengthened his reputation for big brains and profound political sagacity. The third of the great group of Iowa speeches was that of Congressman John F. Lacey at Allerton, Oct. 13. Here was a fine, old-fashioned, straightaway Republican speech. We do not find in it any reciprocity foolishness. It does not deal with that question at all. Mr. Lacey devoted himself wholly to the practical issue of Republican tariff making versus Democratic tariff making. He sketched in bold outlines our tariff history from the organization of the government up to the present day, and clearly demonstrated the invariable value of the protective policy and the invariable blight and curse attending our occasional lapses into or toward free trade. That is the point to be kept in view: Under whose scheme of tariff making, that of the protectionists or that of the free traders, has the country prospered most? That is the issue now, just as it has been the issue every time the Democratic party has undertaken to regain control of national affairs, just as it is going to be the issue next year. It is well that men of Congressman Lacey's great ability should make genuine, orthodox Republican speeches. The country needs them "Lest we forget." Shall We Abolish It?

Don't you see the wheel has cline. In his speech at Greenock he said: "The sugar trade has gone, the iron trade is threatened, and the turn of the cotton trade is coming next." Yet the Democratic party would make our protective tariff the paramount issue in 1904. "The wicked tariff, the tariff which makes the rich richer and the poor poorer, which fosters trusts, which gives no real prosperity, let's abolish it," they say. Yes, let's abolish it. Let's forget the experience of 1893. Let's get a taste of this industrial decline which has opened the eyes of our British cousins to the fact that the protective nations have prospered amazingly, while Great Britain has gone backward.—Springfield Union. Sugar Trust's Latest Move The active efforts of the Sugar trust to buy up the beet sugar factories in the West ought to result in improving the prospect of a rectpropty treaty with Cuba. The American Sugar Refining Company, as the trust is known, is said to have obtained a controlling interest in the following Michigan factories: Sebewaling Sugar Refining Co., Sebewaling; Sanita C. Sugar Refining Co., Croswell; Peninsula Sugar Co., Caro; Tawas Sugar Co., East Tawas, Mich.; Michigan Sugar Co., Bay City; Alma Sugar Co., Alma; Sagnaw Sugar Co., Sagnaw; Valley Sugar Co., Sagnaw; Menominee River Sugar Co., Menominee. It is expected that as soon as the beet sugar season is over the management of the factories will be placed under one head. The combined capitalization of the companies absorbed by the American Sugar Refining Co. is placed at $6,350,000 Hartford Times. The Outcome of Protection. Says Mr. Mosely, in summing up the Report of the Industrial Commission to this country from England: "My personal conclusion is that the true-born American is a better educated, better housed, better fed, better clothed and more energetic man than his British brother, and infinitely more sober; and, as a natural consequence, he is more capable of using his brains as well as his hands." And it is all due to American wages, the outcome of protection which has built up and maintains our home macket. Not Yet. The beet sugar output next year will be enormous if—but we will not borrow trouble. The Cuban treaty is not in operation yet. Forcing Plants to Bloom. Flowering plants are now forced into early bloom by a bath of other vapor. The plant is placed for forty-eight hours in a sealed tank containing ether. It is afterward removed to an ordinary hothouse and comes into full bloom in about two or three weeks. Lilacs, acaleas and deutias respond readily to the treatment, which is now extensively used in Germany. To Clean a Brush To clean an ebony-backed brush, soak the brushes in hot, soapy lather, rinsing first in hot and then in cold water.

I was dizzy and my food always used to ferment instead of digesting. Crossness, unhappiness and nervousness were very prominent symptoms. "Late in the summer I went to visit a sister and there I saw and used Grape-Nuts. I had heard of this famous food before, but never was interested enough to try it, for I never knew how really good it was. But when I came home we used Grape-Nuts in our household all the time and I soon began to note changes in my health. I improved steadily and am now strong and well in every way and am back at school able to get my lessons with ease and pleasure and can remember them too, for the improvement in my mental power is very noticeable and I get good marks in my studies which always seemed difficult before.

It will be called the Saturday Lance and will be Democratic. 1 There was a young man from Cabool, Who tickled the hoof of a mule, His present address Is not easy to guess, But he doesn't reside at Cabool. A Joplin girl, according to one of the papers, is afraid to take a bath. She was "blessed" by a divine healer for rheumatism the other day and fears the charm will wash off. Rich Hill Review: While there is little doubt in the minds of Missourians about the guilt of Farris as a boodler, it seems the jury at Jefferson City wanted to be shown a better witness than John A. Lee. The Carthage girl who is to join the chorus of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," shouldn't get the idea in her head that she will make a barrel of money just because she will wear hoop skirts on the stage. The Drexel Star runs a column it calls "Scissorettes and Scissorinktums." "Missouri is certainly hospitable," says the Nevada Post. "Even Kratz will be welcomed back." Everybody in Execisor Springs isn't in jail all the time, it seems. "A number of people from this city," says the Call Friday, "are at Liberty today." A Hannibal man whose enterprising wife sold his old clothes at a rummage sale the other day wanted to go fishing Saturday and had to put up $3 to get them back. The fact that Chillicothe is growing rapidly cannot be doubted. "Peg" Kohlman has built an addition to his chile house and now has room enough to handle tannels, too. S. R. Zimmerman of Amazonia owns a horse which once belonged to Jesse James. The horse, which is 39 years old, bear the distinguished sounding name of William Rucker James. A Platte county farmer who lives near Armour Junction caught nineteen opossums an done racoon last week. Considering the fact that he is a white man this is really an extraordinary record. An axle broke on the Harrisonville fire engine as it was going to a burning dwelling last week. But the run was fairly successful, anyway. The fire boys got there in time to see the walls fall. Of course the story may not be true, but a Howard county paper tells of an absent-minded man who came home in a heavy rain a few nights ago and put his wet umbrella to bed and then stood up in the corner until daylight. Jacob Wentworth, who lives three miles east of Centerville, has a new plan for saving farm machinery from the wear and tear of the weather. Whenever he leaves a machine in the fld he sets a small tent over it until he can haul it to the shed. A young Carthage school teacher who went out to the state of Washington, where marrineable young women are said to be very scarce, to live recently, writes back that she likes her new home very much. Carthage people who believe Jasper county is the only place to live think this "means something." F. G. Baker of Independence has a freak ear of corn that he is showing around. It has a uneven number of rows. "A good layer of newspapers underneath a carpet will keep out moths," says a Sullivan county paper. "Now is the time to subscribe." A Roanoke negro made a mistake the other day that will probably send him to the penitentiary. He forged a check for $8 and another for $0, instead of making them for $100,000 each. Down in the Ozark county a few days ago a dentist's horse kicked two teeth out of a groceryman's mouth, and the next day the dentist sent the groceryman a bill reading: "Two teeth removed. $2." The Jackson County Judge "showed up" a traveling man who said Independence was the home of the prettiest women in the state Friday. "The fellow wanted to sell a bill of goods," says the candid Judge man. 2 The Fairfax Forum knows when it has said enough on a subject. "There is a man in this town," said the Forum last week, "sporting as fine a head of hair as ever grew, and it has been only two or three weeks since he was as bald as a young raf. How did he get it? That's none of your business." MARSHALL FIELD AND CO'S WAREHOUSE MANAGER Cured of Catarrh of Kidneys by Pe-ru-na. A. HON. JOHN T. SHEAHAN, OF CHICAGO. Hon. John T.

Storekeepers report that the extra quantity, together with the superior quality of Defiance Starch makes it next to impossible to sell any other brand.
