Lewis Woods, proprietor of the Rising Son, started in the newspaper business eight years ago. At first this venture seemed a doubtful proposition, but now, by paying attention to the work and studying its various phases, we have brought it up to the place where it can truthfully be said to be no longer a venture, but a paying business. Lewis Woods, proprietor of the Rising Son, started in the newspaper business eight years ago. At first this venture seemed a doubtful proposition, but now, by paying attention to the work and studying its various phases, we have brought it up to the place where it can truthfully be said to be no longer a venture, but a paying business. The Commencement exercises of the Lincoln High School were held in the Central High school Friday night of last week. The exercises were far above those of the last three or four years. Of course, in matters of this kind much has to do with the pupils themselves. Every class cannot be made to make the same showing. There were twelve graduates, six of them being boys. Rev. S. W. Bacote offered prayer in which he asked for more graduates with the push and courage exhibited by Thomas McCampbell, our enterprising druggist. He asked for better schools and for more race pride and unity on the part of the colored people. For the first time in years there was no member of the school board present. It is becoming more and more evident that the white people are tired of doing those things for us that they think we should be able to do for ourselves. When will we take the hint? We hope Rev. Bacote's prayer will be answered and that the parents and teachers will help the preachers to bring order and uprightness out of the present chaos. Let's pray and act, too. THE THREE GOLDEN CALVES. The Neward Advocate. There are three golden calves which have been set up in the history of mankind. There are others, but these are the important ones. 1st—The calf at Sinai. While Moses was up in the mountains, Aaron made a golden calf by the command of the people, and all fell down and worshiped it. And it brought lots of trouble on the people. 2nd.—The Dutch made a golden calf in 1619 and the Americans fell down and worshiped it; and trouble followed. The calf's name was Slavery. 3rd.—Colorphobia, or in other words, color hate, was the third calf set up, and all America is worshiping it. The calfs name is the "Lily White." It likes no other color. Hence it crushes all of God's human creatures who happen not to be white. It welcomes anything that is white, even leprosy, but rejects anything that is black except a zamifi, for it will never turn out to be anything. Christ is painted white, although no white blood coursed through his veins. The devil is painted black, although no one has ever seen him. Heaven is painted white, where even the streets are represented as being paved with gold. Adam is painted white, when he was clay color. And so, this calf had peculiar notions regarding its worshipers. Since all Christians have the same dispositions after death, I wonder how the Christians of different races will get along in heaven, or will there be more than one heaven? We are told all Christians will be with the Lord, they, therefore, must be in one place; hence they ought to fix this thing there, and come to which have been set up in the history destroyer of human happiness. It is certainly strange that after so many years of material progress and development, the black man must yet prove his humanity. Oh, how strange! No sound-minded man would ask unless it be pitchfork Tillman. Let me close with these most beautiful lines, the sentiments of Anglo-Saxons: My country, 'tis of thee, Poor land of liberty, Of thee I sing. Land where our fathers died, Land of old hatred's pride, From every mountain side, Let hatred ring. FREE TRANSPORTATION AND AD MISSION TO ST. LOUIS FAIR. Offer of Rising Son.

Folk is the choice of his party KANSAS CITY MO., FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 1904. LEXINGTON NEWS. Quarterly meeting was held at the A. M. E. church Sunday. On account of it being such a rainy day sacrament was administered Monday night. Presiding Elder Nelson preached an excellent sermon at 3 o'clock Sunday evening, held quarterly meeting Tuesday night and left for his home Wednesday morning. Mr. A. W. Walker atteded the commencement at Independence Friday, May 27th. The exercise was just grand. Prof. Harrison deserves much credit. There were eleven graduates and their recitations were excellent. Mrs. B. B. Tilly is here visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Collins. Mr. Al Williams returned home from Iowa Monday night. Quite a number of the young ladies and gentlemen attended the commencement at Independence and returned home Friday night. We hope that the remarks of Prof. French of Sedalia, who presented the diplomas to the graduates, and the remarks of Prof. Harrison, will do them good, and will cause them to study as they never have before, because we need useful young men and young women. The closing exercise of the Douglas school was at the Opera house Saturday, May 28. The rain interfered with quite a number who would have attended. There was one graduate. Williams Lodge No. 105 U. B. F.s. turned out Monday and decorated the graves of their deceased brothers and sisters. Their Thanksgiving sermon will be preached at the M. E. church, on the second Sunday in June, by Rev. R. Young at 3 o'clock p. m. The Lexington Camp No. 2 will give a picnic on the Fourth of July, at which time they will turn out in their full regalia and drill. Mrs. Wm. Hunter and daughter, the wife of the grocery keeper, called and serenaded Mrs. A. W. Walker last Wednesday evening. The music was fine. After which refreshments were served. CITY IMPROVEMENT. We hear much talk these days about beautifying and improving the city along all lines. This is the right spirit. Nothing tends to improve the community more than good streets, clean streets, shade trees, parks and play grounds for the children, pleasure resorts for all people. It adds to the life of a community; it invites the man of money to invest. But the manager of Forest Park says this park is not for negroes, but for white people. Why does a man become so mean as to bar any good citizen from public rights? We will admit there are bad Negroes, but on the other hand, there are bad white men, yes, ten times worse, in a measure, than the negro. Hunters Destroy Fur Industry The wealth of Russia in furs is being rapidly sapped. It is reported that in a certain district of the Yenisei government, where fifty years ago hunters annually shot 28,000 sable, 6,000 bears, 24,000 foxes, 14,000 blue foxes, 300,000 squirrels, 5,000 wolves, and 200,000 hares, hardly a sable can be found to-day. The blame is laid to the wanton destruction of wild animals in the course of the hunting expeditions. No steps seems to have been taken to put a stop to this. Malmaison Museum. A rich Parisian has given to the French nation the little palace of Malmaison, near Versailles, to be used as a museum, and the government has ordered the original furniture it contained in the time of the Empress Josephine, much of which is now in Trianon and Campelegne, to be restored to it. WESTERN FINE ART STUDIO. Western Fine Art Studio that opened its doors a little over a month ago in this city, Mr. U. C. O. Jacque, proprietor, formerly of Washington, D. C., where he conducted a studio with great success for eight years, has now located his studio in the West, and is meeting with great success. He will open this fall a large studio which will give quite a number of our people work. Studio is now being conducted in the Y. M. C. A. hall for the summer months, at 912 East 12th street. He is now prepared to enlarge all kinds of pictures, crayon and pastel, and we ask all people who wish to see us succeed to give us their patronage, also those wishing to take lessons may do so now. We have selected competent artists to work in the studio. Miss Mayne Blakely, an amable young lady selected as clerk and manager, from whom all who visit will receive polite attention. Miss Mable Robert, a competent artist, will be found at the easel, enlarging all your pictures. Mrs. P. A. McFadden is a studio art teacher. We also have traveling teachers who are connected with this studio, and are teaching at present at the following places. Mrs. Martha H. Willison, at Leavenworth, Kan., in Sunflower Baptist church. Miss Vandella Davis, in Leavenworth, Kan., in A. M. E. church. Miss Anna Moore, teaching in Atchison, Kan. Miss Anna B. Cottel, in St. Joe, Mo. The venerable old Bishop Turner has opened his mouth again and again has allowed his better judgment to be carried away by his prejudice. History contains nothing definite as to the original color of man from Adam, or even Noah, down. The bishop shows, in this recent statement, as much lack of balance, as he does in his solution of the negro problem, for he would send millions of ignorant people back to the jungles of Africa to learn the progressive methods of the world. Nay, good bishop, nay. Reduces Railway Curves. The engineers of the last few years, in relaying tracks, instead of starting a true circle curve with the sudden lift of the outer rail that causes the jolt and lurch that travelers know, have laid a slight parabolic curve from a point a hundred yards back on the straight track, and have elevated the outer rail imperceptibly along that curve to the maximum. The result of the device—in practice quite new—has been the annihilation of curves as regards a passenger's sense. Forces Vagrants to Work. There are fow able-bodied paupers in Holland. A tract of public land containing 5,000 acres in divided into six model farms, to one of which the person applying for public relief is sent. Here he is taught agriculture, and is subsequently permitted to rent a small farm for himself. Holland also has a forced labor colony, to which other vagrants are sent to do farm and other work, whether they like it or not. Deadlock of Long Ago. The Democratic national convention of 1852 was in session for six days and forty-nine ballots were taken on the nomination of a candidate for president. Franklin Pierce did not receive a vote until the fordth ballot, when twenty-nine were cast for him. On the forty-ninth ballot he was unanimously nominated. Immense Edible Oysters The biggest oysters in the world are found in Australia. They measure sometimes more than a foot across the shell. A "C" LUNCHEON The "Cautious Catering Company" will cater to this community in the commodious residence of Mrs. Kate Jordan, 1116 Campbell street, Friday evening, June 10th, for a certain consideration for each commodity consumed. Children, as well as adults, are cordially invited to convent on said occasion. Come and help the Old Folks and Orphans' Home. By order of committee in charge, Mrs. D. QUEENAN. CAUTIOUS CATERING COMPANY CAFE.

He has long since proven to us that he is a master of his trade. He has been one of Kansas City's promoters in business enterprise. His study has been along his own line, how to please the stomach and to make man healthy. True that man can not live by bread alone. We will ask you to try some of his bread that we will mention, for instance his Salt Rising Bread and his First Quaker Made. Ask your grocer for them and satisfy yourself that you get your money's worth. Mr. Matthaeus is worthy of the colored patronage in this city. He is liberal and at all times is a pleasant man to meet. Do honor unto him to whom honor is due. Remember his brands, Salt Rising and Quaker Maid Bread. MATTHAEIS BAKERY, 901-3-5-7-11-13 Wet 17th Street. OFFICERS ELECTED AT THE CLOSE IF THE GENERAL CONFERENCE AT CHICAGO. The following persons have been elected as officers by the General Conference: John H. Collett, D. D., Baltimore manager of the book concern, Philadelphia. H. T. Johnson, Philadelphia, editor of the Christian Recorder. E. W. Lampton, D. D., Greenville Miss., financial secretary. John R. Hawkins, A. M., secretary of education. H. B. Parks, New York city, missionary secretary. W. D. Chappellee, D. D., Nashville Tenn., secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Sunday School union. The Negroes who attended the M. E. Conference in California, went there expecting to find a heaven on earth. The Pacific Coast is not the only place upon the face of the earth where the negro has looked for such an abiding place and failed to find it. He has searched, too, every corner of the globe for a law strong enough to protect him in those rights defined by the congress of the United States and endorsed by Thomas Jefferson, and has found it not. What is wrong? If you want a safe leader, pick out a man who stands well among his neighbors, whose word can be depended upon. NUMBER 9 M. PROF. J. E. HENIFORD, Of Chillicothe, Mo. All persons who desire to see our schools well managed, will welcome to this city J. E. Heniford as an addition to the teaching force. He is an honorable man and a progressive teacher. ITEMS FOR RISING SON. Mrs. C. R. McDowell of Hannibal, Mo., is visiting in our city this week. Mr. Alfred Perry, of Kansas City, Mo., and Mr. James Perry, of righginsville, Mo., were the guests of Rev. J. H. Allen and family Sunday. Miss Mamie Rogers, who has been ill several months improves very slowly. Mr. Wayman Hawkins and quite a number of others from Kansas City, Mo., attended the school exercises Friday night at Music Hall. Mrs. C. A. Conner entertained in honor of Prof. French of Sedalia, Mo., Friday. A number of young ladies and gentlemen from Lexington, Mo., attended the closing exercises Friday night. Misses Emma Bush, Lillie Christman and Rosa Bush entertained the visiting guests Saturday, Sunday and Monday, respectively. June 5th will be rally day at the A. M. E. church. Every member is expected to give $5. We are very proud of our Doctor and wife who have lately come to our town, they are very friendly and we hope he will meet with success—Dr. Phenix by name. The graduating exercises of Young school were held Friday night. They were certainly fine in every respect. Prof. Harrison did not do as one of our principals did at his closing this spring in a near by town, send to the city and have other persons do the performing and then call it a school concert. I believe in letting the public know what the pupils can do, and if I have some friends I would like to place on exhibition, I would give a concert in mid-year, especially when I had seventy five pupils in school. Miss Minnie Dehoney, one of the graduates, furnished the music for the school exercises Friday night. There will be a grand concert Saturday night. June 4, at the M. E. church. Every one is cordially invited to attend. There will be an orange tea given at the A. M. E. church Thursday afternoon and at night also. Mr. Samuel Gipson, of Pleasant Hill, Mo., makes weekly visits to our city. NEGROES AT THE WORLD'S FAIR. For the convenience of colored visitors "Information Bureau" has been established. With it are assocated many of the best homes and hotels in St. Louis. Have your room reserved. Stamp for reply. H. S. FERGUSON, Mgr. 1923 Market St. St. Louis, Mo. Opposite Union Station. AS AFFECTING LABOR REPUBLICAN LEGISLATION ALWAYS FOR WAGE EARNERS. It Began by Freeing Four Million Slaves and Has Constantly Contributed to the Welfare of Many More Millions of American White Toilers. In the "History of the Republican Party," just issued by G. P. Putnam's Sons, the author, Francis Curtis, confines himself to a purely historical review of legislation in the different congresses, and the nominating conventions of the party and their proceedings. He concludes this historical narrative, however, with a chapter which we believe will be found to be one of the most interesting portions of the work. In this chapter he enumerates the various defections from the party, with their causes and results, analyzing very emphatically but most respectfully the Liberals of 1872, the Mugwumps of 1884 and the antis of the present day. While Mr. Curtis concedes that many of these men who have left the party, and who endeavored to thwart its success, have been men of character who may have been actuated by the purest motives, yet later events have proven that they have been entirely unwarranted in their actions, and that every defection of the party has been unwise, uncalled for and unjust. Mr. Curtis claims that in only one instance, if indeed in any, have the Mugwumps had any influence upon the action of the Republican party or upon the history of the country. Concluding this point, he says: "It may or may not be that the Mugwumps elected Grover Cleveland in 1884. If they did, then they precipitated the tariff fight which ended in the Wilson-Gorman tariff, and which, according to the Republican contention, brought untold misery to our people. If they crave credit for that they are certainly welcome to it." In discussing the negro question the author says: "The coming generation of Southerners must in time acknowledge the mistake their fathers are making, just as the present generation are free to acknowledge the errors of the ancestors of a generation or two ago. Calhoun, Hayne and McBuffie were mistaken in believing that the South would be always an agricultural section of the country, and that a low tariff would be necessary to their prosperity in order that they might sell in the dearest and buy in the cheapest markets. The Democratic leaders of today in the South are mistaken in believing that they must constantly vote the Democratic ticket at all times against their own commercial interests, simply for fear of being outvoted by the negro, to whom they are not ready to grant the advantages guaranteed by the Fifteenth amendment." Speaking of the effect of Republican legislation in connection with our laboring classes, the author says: "Nowhere is the beneficent result of Republican legislation more conspicuously seen than in its relation to the so-called laboring classes of our country. It began at the outset by freeing four million slaves and giving them the opportunity to labor, to acquire and to enjoy the rewards of their own exertions. Coming down through the decades after the war, from 1870 to 1880, from 1880 to 1890, and from 1890 to the present time, it has, through its various tariff laws, given opportunity to the workingmen of the United States such as is enjoyed by the laboring classes of no other country on the face of the globe. It has by its legislation concerning immigration given to millions from foreign lands an equal opportunity for advancement in their standard of living, through high wages and constant employment, increasing our home market, which is the envy of the entire commercial world. This home market has awakened and maintained competition to such an extent in all lines of industry that our people in large measure have done their own work and reaped the consequent fruits of their toll. There need be no proofs given of the assertion that the workingmen of the United States are far better off than the laborers of any other country. The statement is unquestioned and universally accepted both at home and abroad. The whole situation can be briefly put in the words of the eminent French scientist Prof. Emile Levasseur in his work on LOUvrier American. In summing up the conditions of the American workmen as compared with those of Europe, he says: "Wages in the United States are about double the wages in Europe; objects of ordinary consumption by working people (excepting dwelling houses) cost less in the cities of the United States than in those of Europe; the American workingman lives better than the European; he eats more substantially, dresses better, is more comfortably housed and more often owns his dwelling, spends more for life insurance and various social and beneficial associations, and, in short, has a much higher standard of life than the European workman." "Not only has the Republican party given the workingman the chance to work; not only has it given him the highest wages paid on earth for that work, but it has seen to it that this wage money is paid in dollars of full value, equal in every case to one hundred cents." While the author announces in his preface that "for the most part facts only have been related in the plainest of language, it is hoped clearly and without ambiguity," yet there are passages in the book which we believe will be widely quoted, not only for their style, but the thoughts therein advanced, such a passage, for example, as the following: "The Republican party has been a consistent party throughout its career, and it stands to-day for the three great policies for which it stood at its birth, and during its every year of existence since. Those three policies are Liberty, Honor and Progress. Equal liberty for every man, woman and child under the shelter of our flag; liberty to live, liberty to toil and liberty to acquire. Honor—in a standard of value, and money of redemption, equal to the highest known among nations; honor—to pay in full every obligation; honor—to redeem every promise, implied, spoken or written. Progress—not only of our own people, as has been shown in an elevation of the masses to the highest standard of living attained by any people of the human race; as shown in the development of our public school system, of our literature and its distribution, of our labor laws and of our industrial and financial undertakings throughout the length and breadth of the land; progress—not alone in the elevation of the people of the United States, but in the advancement of every people and every country where our influence is felt; progress—not only in material up-building, but in a mental and moral elevation as well. The Democrat and the Trusts "The tariff is the mother of trusts," will undoubtedly be the Democratic war cry in the national campaign. And, with any conservative Democrat as presidential candidate, the party will not lack a campaign fund. The trusts which it processes to attack will see to that. Such is the seemingly impossible paradox which the political situation now presents. Organizations of capital are preparing, if it will give them the man they want, to support a party professing to be filled with zeal to destroy them. Yet when a few facts are remembered it is seen that the trusts will be taking only the line of self preservation and self aggrandizement. The men at the head of the great typical combinations, such as the United States Steel and Standard Oil companies, feel that they no longer need the tariff in their business. They believe that they have reached such a position that they need not fear foreign competition. They are confident of their ability to deal with that in other ways. What they do dread is domestic competition, meeting them in the home market and keeping up wages, and able to do these things because it is protected from foreign competition by the tariff. And, furthermore, they dislike the president because he has insisted that no man or body of men can be or become so great as to be above the laws of the American people. The heads of the great trusts realize that political platforms count for nothing, and that laws count for very little, unless the men elected to office on those platforms are resolved to enforce those laws. What they want is not different laws, but a different man in the White House—a man who is not merely rigidly fair to them, but is complaisantly friendly to them. That is why the Democratic party, if it will but give the trusts the man they want, no matter what its platform, will not lack for campaign funds. It remains to be seen, however, whether the American people can be fooled by the Democratic trust alliance now visibly forming. The "Pivotal" States: Judge Parker now has instructed delegations from New York, Indiana, and Connecticut, and the New Jersey delegation, though uninstructed, is adverse to Hearst. Taking the four states that we have named together, it would seem that their action must be definite as regards Hearst, since they are the old pivotal states. Without them no Democrat can possibly win. This is so well understood that their course will exert an enormous influence in the South, and it has the sympathy of the Democrats of the Republican states of the East. The Massachusetts delegation, which is instructed for Oney, will not go to Hearst under any circumstances. His support must come principally from Mr. Bryan's old populistic following in the West. Its convention strength is thus very clearly limited, and its influence will be lessened because of the fact that the West is overwhelmingly Republican. Effective Brevity. The last word has not been spoken regarding the benefits and advantages of the protection policy. Representative Campbell of Kansas, proved that something new and strong in the way of condensed fact might be said when, in his recent speech, he declared: "The policy of protection has preserved the American market for the products of American manufacturers, and American manufacturers have made markets for the products of American farmers, and together they have established the high standard of living and made possible a high scale of American wages." The case has seldom been so effectively stated in so few words. It tells a great story in a very short space. What Interests the People. The last Democratic national administration added $262,000,000 to the interest bearing debt, and none of the money went into any great public work. Mr Cleveland has been telling how it was done, but the people are more interested in preventing a repetition of the feat. AMONG THE HEADHUNTERS OF LUZON. THE ABRA RIVEK. COAST RANGE IN THE BACKGROUND. (From the New York Sun) How a small party of Americans penetrated the land of the head-hunting Igorrotes of northern Luzon and how the handful of men constituting the first expedition that ever entered the land of the head hunters and came back again persuaded the savages to give up that immemorial usage form the subject of the following story, which is published here for the first time. The adventure is related by Lieut-Col. W. H. C. Bowen. Thirteenth Infantry, U. S. A., who com- THE ABRA RIVER, CUAST manded the expedition and was at that time major of the Fifth United States Infantry and Provisional Governor of the Province of Abra. Under Gen. J. Franklin Bell he had operated against the Villamor brothers, Blas and Juan, and assisted in harassing them and their mixed followers, including Alzados, Negritos, Tinguianes and Igorrotes, into surrender. After the pacification of the province he served successfully in Batargas against Malvar, the successor of Aguinaldo, and against the insurrectos in the Cagayan valley. He was relieved in May, 1903, and is now in charge of the United States recruiting station in Buffalo. "Adios, Americanos!" called out the presidente of Bangue, with a cadence of foreboding in his grave voice. "They will come back again nevermore," remarked the larger part of the adult Ilocanos of the barrio, we thought hopefully. These were the farewells that sounded in our ears on a pleasant morning on Dec. 26, 1901, as we rode forth from the capital of Abra to visit the wild tribes of the Alzados for the purpose of persuading them to give up their immemorial practice of head hunting. The Iloanos were Christians, after a queer fashion; the Tinguianes were pagans, and the Alzados were savages of the most ferocious type. The Iloanos and Tinguianes had often been visited by white men, and I had visited the chief pueblos and villages during the summer, taking the flag and an essoort, in order to administer the oath of allegiance. But no white men had ever explored the Land of the Head Hunters, for it would have required a large force under Spanish rule to brave these unterfrired savages in their mountain fastnesses, and besides there was nothing there to tempt the cupidity of our predecessors. I had made up my mind that there could be no peace and prosperity for the people of Abra, even under the flag, while the head hunters were allowed to continue their peculiar practice unrebuked. To attempt to persuade them from it by moral suasion was the reason for the expedition that started forth from Bangue, as stated above. The smallness of the force, in view of the serious nature of the errand, was what excited the pessimism of AMONG THE CORBILLERAS the natives, who gathered to see us start. They had an idea, and expressed it freely, that it would require a regiment, with one or two rapid-fire guns, to penetrate the land of the head hunters and argue with them successfully. I thought otherwise. Those with me were not so confident, but were willing to take the chances. The expedition included Col. Juan AN ALZADO WOMAN WITH TATTOOED ARMS. Villamor, provincial secretary, who, with his brother Blas, was the head and front of the insurrectos until the surrender in the preceding April. He became my successor as Governor of Abra. Arthur P. Wright, formerly color sergeant in the Rough Riders, was another prominent member of the expedition. He was an enthusiastic mineralogist. Others in the party were W. W. Leggett, provincial supervisor; two pedagogues from Bucay and Pidigan, a sergeant and two sol- RANGE IN THE BACKGROUND diers from the Fifth Infantry to look after the horses, a photographer who took the accompanying pictures, an interpreter, a guide who had been a captain in the insurrection army, three packers and two muchachos (boy servants). It was not an impressive show of force, but it was at least very mobile. It was at San Guillermo that the first mention was made of the Alzados, and that was when the natives brought to us one of their number who had been attacked by the head hunters a few days before. He had saved his headpiece, but his body was riddled with spear wounds. The rancheria had been attacked twice within two years by the Alzados. On the last day of the year we AN ALZADO WOMAN WITH reached Tue on the Buclog river, at the base of the Cordillera Central, and here at 2 o'clock in the afternoon we encountered a band of Alzados. We sighted them at a distance, and I saw them drop something into the bushes beside the trail as soon as they made us out. "They are throwing away heads," observed Col. Villamor. We were outnumbered, and had sent back the horses with the packers two days before, so we were in a fix, seemingly. The only resource was to bluff the game through, so we stood our ground. The natives proved to be the presdente of Sumadar, a barrio three days' march over the mountains, with a retinue of as villainous looking savages as one would not care to meet alone. The presidente looked even more villainous than his followers. He wore his hair twisted about his head. All of the members of the party were nude save for gee-strings, and all were tattooed, showing that they had taken heads. When we met, the presidente rubbed my palm solemnly with his nose, in token of amity, and his followers did likewise. I promptly brought up the subject of head hunting. The presidente of Sumadar at first affected innocence, but when I insisted that I had proof against him he dropped his bluff and took on a look of entreaty. "The Americanos know all," he said through the interpreter. "Say that it has been the custom of our fathers, and we have followed it, but that we have put it away from us. If any of our young men cut off a head, from this time, his head shall I take." I assured him that I believed him, but that I would keep an eye upon Sumadar. Then I invited him and his band to sit down with us to a feast. They accepted greedily, and we all sat down amicably, but watchfully, to a feast of canned goods, which the Alzados seemed to take to as kindly as a city housekeeper. I doubt If the Cordilleras ever looked down upon such a mixed company and such a banquet before. During the meal I asked the presidente why he had taken heads. "It is the custom; the Anita (the idols of the Alzados) have ordered it. It is part of our religion," he replied. "Ask him whom they are commended to kill," I sugegsted to the interpreter. "Everybody," replied the presidente. "All strangers. Everybody is a stranger who does not belong to our tribe." "Why do the young men always keep the heads with them?" I asked, looking toward the part of the trail where I had seen the party throw the objects into the long grass when they first sighted us. The Alzados looked uncomfortably at one another when this was translated to them. Then the presidente replied: "They carry them to show their bravery. The young men cannot marry until they have taken the head of a stranger." "Is it bravery to kill babes and old women?" was retorted. I expected this question would bother the old scoundrel, but it did not. "It is as brave as getting any head. The warrior must go close to the barrio of the stranger to get the head of the child. He cannot lie in the forest and wait until it comes to him. He must seek it in the village, where he may be slain," replied the president, as simply as if that question had been discussed in the affirmative in lyceums in his native barrio. In reply to questions, he went on to explain that the heads of enemies TATTOOED ARMS. were believed to bring good luck in about all the details of life among the Alzados. To kill and cut off heads before seed time and harvest brought luck, brought the rains and warded off the anger of the Anita, who, he assured us, had a weakness for the heads of strangers. After an hour's talk the presidente and the other Alzados started for Sumadar, saying they wished to take some tobacco to San Jose to sell. We were not so thoroughly convinced of the good intentions of the parting guests that we felt ourselves justified in going to sleep without setting guard that night. We all took turns at guard duty, and my relief was from 10 to midnight, so that I saw the year 1902 in, watching the shadows of the mountainsides lest in their friendly obscurity our late guest, the presidente of Sumadar, might creep upon us to add our heads to his collection. However, the night passed without alarm, and we were forced to admit that our thoughts did him an injustice. From that day to this I have never heard aught to cast discredit upon the promise of the presidente of Sumadar to give up head hunting.

Address SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., Chicago Occasional silence would improve some people's conversation. To the housewife who has not yet become acquainted with the new things of everyday use in the market and who is reasonably satisfied with the old, we would suggest that a trial of Defiance Cold Water Starch be made at once. Not alone because it is guaranteed by the manufacturers to be superior to any other brand, but because each 10c package contains 16 ozs., while all the other kinds contain but 12 ozs. It is safe to say that the lady who once uses Defiance Starch will use no other. Quality and quantity must win. The chronic borrower is a match for any one who has money to burn. Under the caption, "The Union Pacific Railroad and Louisiana Territory," the new World's Fair folder issued by the advertising department of the Union Pacific, which has attracted such general attention, recites these interesting facts: "While the construction of the Union Pacific Railroad, its trials and triumphs, are a part of the history of the United States, the important part played by this railroad in the development of the Louisiana Purchase can hardly be estimated. In the building up of this vast domain it has been one of the chief factors. One hundred years ago the population of the region was estimated at 20,000. Up to the inception of the Union Pacific (in 1860) it had increased to 3,233,529. In 1900 it numbered over 13,000,000 of inhabitants. In this wonderful growth, with its stupendous increase in all the many-sided phases of commercial, material and intellectual prosperity, the Union Pacific—as a glance at the map will show—has had a conspicuous share. It has opened vast regions of fertile country to settlers, and brought great areas of an unknown and unproductive wilderness into close communion with metropolitan centers and markets. Thriving cities, towns and hamlets, through its efforts, have sprung up in every direction. It may be of interest to know that the total number of manufacturing plants, and the value of their outputs, combined with that of the national products as reported in the census of 1900, give an aggregate production for the Louisiana region of $3,500,000,000 annually, or 223 times the original purchase price. The same census reports (1900) also show the total population to be 13,343,255, of which 8,303,096 inhabitants are living in the states and territories reached by the Union Pacific. On the 1900 census figures, it is estimated that the true wealth of the Louisiana purchase can be stated at about $13,051,868,359, of which $9,360,621,387 is represented in the states reached by this great railroad." We all have our trials—and the lawyer is glad of it. Free to Twenty-five Ladies. The Defiance Starch Co. will give 25 ladies a round trip ticket to the St. Louis Exposition, to five ladies in each of the following states: Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri who will send in the largest number of trade marks cut from a ten cent, 16-ounce package of Defiance cold water laundry starch. This means from your own home, anywhere in the above named states. These trade marks must be mailed to and received by the Defiance Starch Co., Omaha, Nebr., before September 1st, 1904. October and November will be the best months to visit the Exposition. Remember that Defiance is the only starch put up 16 oz. (a full pound) to the package. You get one third more starch for the same money than of any other kind, and Defiance never sticks to the iron. The tickets to the Exposition will be sent by registered mail September 5th.

Yet human speech has many a word. More sweet life has sound: Forgiveness, grace in Christ the Lord, Mercy, with loving kindness crowned. They breathe upon our hearts like songs That swell around, below, above; Immortal words on mortal tongues. The words that tell God's wondrous love. We cannot want for words to men. While still we strike the mercy chord; God grant us power to speak again. The words of life in Christ the Lord! —Mrs. Merrill E. Gates. worth more than all the books of argument and all the sermons and lectures courses of a century in favor of Christianity. It is another word of God, living epistle read and known of all it is a silent, present, unshadowed unanswerable demonstration. It makes doubt impossible. Men simply feel its force and are silent—then turn to pray.—John H. Vincent. True Strength and Safety. In taking account of our motives for life we should give heed that we are not warped by influences which o What is it to Die? *To die is to gain!* Phil 1. 2. One must think a long time, and think very seriously, before he can see any truth in that remarkable statement. He must continue to think, and do so with a much broader view of life and of the hereafter than is usual, before he can agree with the apostle. God has implanted in us a love of life which is strong enough to make us avaricious of the very last possible day. If that universal dread of death were less strong, we should either make away with ourselves or criminally make away with others under provocation. The love of life, the sacredness of life, the right of every man to enjoy his life to its uttermost limit of time, is the basis of at least one of the Ten Commandments. Eliminate this clinging and you would make it impossible for human nature to bear its burdens; for it would very quickly seek relief from them in the peace and silence of sleep. While we live, this life is more important than any other life. But this love of life, curiously enough, must be modified, controlled, disciplined, by the truths of religion before we can enjoy the higher kind of happiness. The clinging is well enough in its way, and it has a divine purpose to achieve, namely, to keep us just where we are until the One who is wiser than we thinks it time for our removal; but unless we listen to what religion has to say about the future, the clinging is like a miser's grasp on his dollar; it becomes a disease, affecting disastrously that cheerful view of both the present and the future, which is the peculiarity of the ideal man. Religion is the greatest boon that ever fell to the lot of mankind, because under its benign influence we are resigned to the inevitable while we remain here, and look forward to something different and better when we shall cross the threshold of eternity. The worth of religion, therefore, as a practical factor is beyond the reach of computation, and in so far as you succeed in making it practical you render yourself satisfactory to yourself and to the world. Suppose we take the statement of this scholarly and critical and logical Paul and examine it with some care. It is perhaps as startling an utterance as ever fell from human lips. If he had said, "To live is gain," and had revealed the secret of longevity, we should follow his directions gratefully and implicitly; but when he tells us that at a given period in our career it is much better to go elsewhere than to stay here, we wonder what his mental and spiritual point of view may be, for from cur own point of view we have doubts on that subject. Still, the present life is important. Why we were born in this lower level, and must fall or sleep before we can reach the higher level I do not know. It is a mystery and will always remain such. But of this I am sure: that for some good reason the providence of God has decreed that a certain amount of experience and discipline and education is necessary before we can be prepared for the better things to come. Those who have gone await cur coming. Our own lesson is not yet learned, but thelrs is; and from their higher vantage-ground they watch over us and guard us in ways we cannot fathom. Some day the call will be heard, and we shall obey it. The light of a setting sun gilds the evening clouds with splendor, the rainbow spans the heavens, and we have the rich promise of a fair day to-morrow.—Rev. George H. Hepworth. Daily Life of the Christian Daily Life of the Christian. The best proof of the divinity of the Christian religion is the daily life of the Christian himself; not his words and professions, but his conduct and spirit; not his Sunday garb and service, but his every-day tone; not his church ways, but his home walk. In the first third of the first century the world saw the incarnate God—the Word of God made flesh and dwelling in human form among men. The nineteenth and twentieth centuries need no less than this. They must see God manifest in the flesh, that human eyes may now behold and human hands now handle the word of life; that the supernatural may be brought within our easy reach; that to all inquirers the church may now say, as Jesus said to the disciples of John, "Go tell the things which ye do hear and see," not deeds of healing wrought in the flesh, but "greater works than these"—works of healing in the spirit, evil passions subdued, bad habits broken, burdens of sin removed, blessings of spiritual life bestowed, steadiness of purpose and experience through all outward vicissitudes made clear to a witnessing world. A life thus setting forth the power of Christ in this present time is worth more than all the books of argument and all the sermons and lecture courses of a century in favor of Christianity. It is another word of God, a living epistle read and known of all. It is a silent, present, unshadowed unanswerable demonstration. It makes doubt impossible. Men simply feel its force and are silent—then turn to pray.—John H. Vincent. True Strength and Safety. In taking account of our motives for life we should give heed that we are not warped by influences which obscure the true standards of greatness. We live in an era of strong and masterful men. It is the boast of our generation that it is independent and brave. It challenges the very elements of nature. It looks the severest problems in the face with deathless daring that is amazing and terrible. But great as our strength is, there is a greater strength which is made perfect in weakness. Peril is never so near nor so dangerous as when, in the plenitude of our strength, we are rejoicing that we are not as other men are. It was St. John who said: "When I am weak, then am I strong." That man is strong who has learned to face and dispel his weakness. If your life is full and fruitful, if it is yielding the glorious results of labor well directed, all this will be perpetuated and rendered secure by a recognition of God in our lives.—Rev. A. A. Beale. Better lose count in enumerating your blessings than lose your blessings in telling over your troubles. Overcoming Difficulties. Let the supreme motive be to follow Christ, and all the rest will fall into line naturally. Are there obstacles in your way? Of course; no road to success ever runs down hill. The path to heaven is up hill, and a godly character costs something. There is no "free pass" over the road. The best things are the costliest, and, of all things, cheap religion is the most worthless. Grace on God's side is free; but a godly character in this world and heaven in the next world cost faith, self-denial, some battles with temptation, and some tough climbs up steep hills. Heaven is not reached by an elevator. Of course you have seen so-called Christians whose conduct was such that it discouraged you. Every truly good thing is counterfeited; but nobody issues a counterfeit on a broken bank. Don't be studying the faults of people who are admitted failures. Fling that foolish excuse out of your way. Did you ever see any one who regretted that he was a true Christian? What man or woman at the end of life ever mourned because he or she had followed Christ? The only thing to fear is losing time at being about it most earnestly.—Rev. Dr. T. L. Cuyler. Procrastination is the thief of time, but it also steals many a precious soul. Fullness of Life. Christ came into the world that we might have life and have it abundantly. The cramped, starved, half-developed lives that so many are leading are not in accordance with God's plans. The plant that grows in the shade, straggling and pale, its blossoms blighting before they unfold, is the type of many a one to whom God is ready to give life in its fulness. Do not be satisfied with mere existence. Reach down for the deep things of experience, and up for those which are high. See that your life is full, free and good, as God meant it to be. Stilts of pride lift you above the people to-day and lay you in a puddle to-morrow. The Safeguard Against Temptation. The safeguard against temptation is not reclusion, but self-culture. As it is not disinfectants which will most certainly secure one against infection, but a sound constitution, so it is not rules of life which will strengthen one against temptation, but a strong soul. One must build up his moral constitution by the habit of moral deeds and high thinking, by fellowship with pure women and honorable men. The chief aids in this regimen are literature and friendship.—Ian Maclaren. It is no use fixing the eye on the compass if the hand is not on the wheel. Wreed Uses of Relief Some people keep their religion, so they do their umbrellas, for stormy weather; they may think it a convenient thing to have when their physician pronounces a fatal verdict, or when death is at the door. Others reserve their piety for the Sabbath and the sanctuary, and on Monday fold it up and lay it away with their Sunday clothes. In the World. A true Christian living in the world is like a ship sailing on the ocean. It is not the ship being kept in the water that will sink it, but the water getting into the ship. So, in like manner, the Christian is not ruined by being in the world, which he must needs be while he remains in the body, but by the world being in him—J. Mitchell CLAIM THAT INGALLS TOOK FAMOUS POEM FROM ITALIAN Of fortunity. Master of human destiny am I! Fame, love and faith on my fortitude await; Cries and fields I walk. I penetrate Deserts and read remote, and passing by Nock and marit and palace, soon or late I knock unbidden one at every gate! If sleeping wake, if resting vigil before. I turn away. It is the hour of fate And they who follow me clash every state Mortals decree, and singen story for Sure death but those who doubt of estate Condemned to failure; penury and vice Seek me in vain and undo all impulse Answer not, and I return no more. Gro. J. Sippes. The authorship of "Opportunity," on which rests the literary fame of the late Senator Ingalls of Kansas, is claimed in a June magazine article by Dr. Nicoli Gigliotti of Erle, Pa., who says he wrote the sonnet first and published it in Italian in 1887. He prints a "deadly parallel" to prove his claim. He called it "Il Fato." THE FASTEST WARSHIP AFLOAT. Proud Honor Held by the Kentucky of the U. S. Navy. In stripping the Kearsarge of her laurels gained in her record-breaking run from Southampton to New York the battleship Kentucky, one of the great fighting ships of the navy, marked up the records for the navies of the world and demonstrated once more the supremacy of American naval architecture. COMMANDS AT PORT ARTHUR. Gen. Stoessel One of the Foremost of Russian Soldiers. Gen. Stoessel is the commander of the beleguered Port Arthur garrison and has been in supreme control since Viceroy Alexleff departed for Mukden some weeks ago. Gen. Stoessel distinguished himself in the Turkish war, having fought at Plevna and In the fighting efficiency of the modern battleship speed and endurance are important factors. The floating fortress must not only have the guns and the men behind the guns, but she must be able to cover long distances at a high rate of speed without mishap. Judged by these standards the Kentucky must be crowned queen of the American navy. Under the command of Captain Robert M. Berry and with Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans and staff on board, the Kentucky made the run from Madeira, 3,885 knots, at an average speed of 13.82 knots an hour. The record of the trip includes 12,916 knots from Hongkong in thirty-nine steaming days, being an average of 315 knots a day, including the slow passage of the Suez canal, a record reached by no other warship of the United States. During her absence of three years and seven months on the other side of the world her total sailing was 68,157 knots. Several years ago the Kearsarge stuck her nose in the air and made a dash from Southampton to New York at an average of 13.50 knots under natural draught. Upon this achievement she has received the plaudits of the whole country. It was pointed out that she had steamed 5,000 miles before her record run without having made repairs. But the Kentucky, before the run completed on Saturday, had steamed 9,000 miles to Honolulu and back, making a total distance of 18,000 miles, without repairs to engines. WOULD NOT BE BISHOP. Dr. Day Rejects Honor Tendered by Methodist Conference. The Rev. Dr. J. R. Day, whose election as bishop by the Methodist conference at Los Angeles followed an W. H. THE REV. JAS. P. DAY attack on him by the Los Angeles Examiner, created a sensation in the conference by resigning the honor. Dr. Day has been chancellor of Syracuse university since 1894. Comes Back to Politics At the age of 82 years Henry G. Davis of West Virginia has returned to active politics and will be one of the delegates to the democratic national convention. It is twenty years since this veteran of democracy retired from the United States senate, after serving there for twelve years. He began his political career the year following the civil war by being elected to the West Virginia assembly, and began attending national democratic conventions in 1868. Gen. Stoessel One of the Foremost of Russian Soldiers. Gen. Stoessel is the commander of the beleaguered Port Arthur garrison and has been in supreme control since Viceroy Alexief departed for Mukden some weeks ago. Gen. Stoessel distinguished himself in the Turkish war, having fought at Plevena and Z. M. at Schipke Pass, and he also served in the Turkestan campaigns. He is held in high esteem by the officials at St. Petersburg, and, it is said, was first sent east at the special request of Alexleff. Gen. Stoessel is about 55 years of age, is of sanguine disposition and is possessed of a rugged constitution. HAS NO USE FOR BACHELORS. Joe Jefferson Recounts With Pleasure How He Hit One of Them. One of Joseph Jefferson's pet abominations is a bachelor. The venerable actor believes in early marriages and recently advised a group of Yale juniors to marry as soon as ever they could afford it. "Bachelors—why, I have the utmost contempt for the whole breed of them," he said. "The older they grow the more conceived they grow. I took one down a peg, though, the other day. He was talking about this woman he had known, and that woman he had known, and these women, it seemed, had married. 'Why you,' I said, 'are in danger of getting left. Why, don't you, too, get married before it is too late?' 'Oh,' said the bachelor, with a chuckle, 'there are still plenty of good fish in the sea.' 'But the bait,' said I, 'isn't there danger of the bait becoming stale?' Centers of European Population Centers of European Population. London and Manchester are still disputing as to which is the greater European center of population. Most people would suppose that London owns the title beyond peradventure. Even if one draws a circle with a radium of thirty miles about Charing Crosss station one gets a population of more than 6,000,000, as against 5,500,000 within a similar distance from the Manchester exchange. But protra-ting a circle with a forty-mile radius one gets a greater Manchester that shows a population of more than 8,000,000 as against a greater London of only about 7,000,000. All Knew What She Meant In a murder trial at Lancaster, Mo., State's Attorney Smoot asked a female witness some question about her domestic affairs. The witness resented the asking of such a question, saying: "I tookon a woman has a right to boss her own house." Mr. Smoot asked what she meant by that, whereupon Judge Shelton interposed: "The remark made by the witness is perfectly clear, and I am confident the jury understands what she means. They are all married men." HINTS The LATEST FASHION Smart and Useful Gown. In every girl's wardrobe there is occasion for a smart gown which can be relied upon to fill many functions; and for this a model, in which real laces play a prominent part, is one that lends itself well to reproduction in less expensive materials. The exceedingly simple lines of the corsage, which incidentally is mounted upon a perfectly fitted silk lining with chiffon beneath the lace, suggest the plastron front and back, fagoted strappings in satin defining this. The sleeve has a shaped ruffle of lace mounted over very full plisse ruffles of chiffon. The skirt of white satin fits snugly over the hips, the fullness being adjusted by means of dart-shaped tucks at the band; and at knee-depth there is applied a flounce of plisse chiffon, which is covered with bouillonnées of satin alternated with lace, eight yards wide at the hem. Eve:Gored Skirt The five-gored flare skirt is never out of style, no matter how many rivals it may have. This one is adapted to all skirt and suiting materials and can be made plain or with the applied yoke as preferred. shown, however, it is made of figured Sicilian mohair, stitched with corticelli silk, and includes the yoke, which can be made terials and can be made plain or with the applied yoke as preferred, shown, however, it is made of figured Sicilian mohair, stitched with corticelli silk, and includes the yoke, which can be made to serve the practical purpose of lengthening as well as an ornamental one. The skirt is cut in five gores, that are shaped to fit with perfect snugness over the hips and to flare with freedom at their lower portions, and is laid in inverted plaits at the back. The yoke is made in one piece and is applied over the upper portion and a narrow belt finishes the upper edge. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 8 yards 27 inches wide, $ 4 \frac{1}{2} $ yards 44 inches wide or 4 yards 52 inches wide when material has figure on nap; $ 3 \frac{1}{2} $ yards 44 or 3 yards 52 inches wide when material has neither figure nor nap. Some Effective Hair Accessories. The flush of a pink rosette, the glow of a red one, the bright gleam of a yellow ornament, or the warm tone of some other color lends a brightness to the wearer of a white frock. The woman of taste selects the color that will best bring out the beauties of her complexion, the luster and tint of her eyes, and the warm or bright lights in her hair. Gowma Are Now Made Short. The "trotter frock" is all the rage in this country just at present and even the most expensive gowns are made with short skirts. Cloth is the leading fabric, yet velvet, too, look quite as well with the ankle-high skirt. Many of these gowns are trimmed elaborately with lace and braid and they may be used for an afternoon entertainment. It seems that women are beginning to realize the advantages of a short skirt, and it may not be many months before the trailing evening gowns of to-day will give way to "trotter" effects. For dancing nothing can surpass the short skirt so far as comfort is concerned. Eton Jacket. No coat yet devised is more generally becoming than the Eton jacket. This one is eminently simple at the same time that it is smart and in- cludes a narrow vest, a yoke that is extended to form trimming bands at the front and the full sleeves that mark the season. The original, from which the drawing was made, is of old blue veiling with the vest of ecru lace applied over cream color- cludes a narrow vest, a yoke that is extended to form trimming bands at the front and the full sleeves that mark the season. The original, from which the drawing was made, is of old blue velling with the vest of ecru lace applied over cream colored cloth and trimming of braid, but almost countless combinations can be made. Fancy braids are greatly used for the little vests, Persian bandings are exceedingly effective, genuine Oriental embroideries are handsome and both braiding and embroidery on silk or cloth are in vogue. The jacket consists of fronts and back with the vest, that is arranged under the front and neck edges, and is fitted by means of shoulder and underarm seams with the single darts that are concealed by the trimming. Over the back and shoulders is applied the yoke, that gives the long shoulder line, and the band extensions serve to outline the vest. The sleeves are wide and full below the elbows and are finished with flare cuffs. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 41% yards 21 inches wide, 21% yards 44 inches wide or 11% yards 52 inches wide with 11% yards 2 inches wide for the vest and 81% yards of braid to trim as illustrated. Light Colors for Summer Shoes Pongee colored kid is making a strong bid for a favorite leather this season, and in some cities it will take its place with the russets, browns and tans. White shoes are going to have a good sale with fabric shoes, white buckskin oxford, red, gray and even blue slippers are included in the smart class. The rule of the woman who knows this summer is to match the shoe and stocking irrespective of whatever the color of the dress may be. Many of the shoes are showing full lines of champagne and pongee color, also some nut brown kid oxford. The girls with small feet are taking to the light colors—no matter how bright—while the others are rushing for the darker shades. Some tan shoes with French heels are for sale, but it does not appear as if they are to have a big run, for the reason that they are not satisfactory for a street oxford—and that is the real purpose of tan footwear. The women can certainly gratify their every whim this summer.—Shoe Retailer. Lamb a la Mode. Lamb a la mode is fully as acceptable an entree as beef prepared in the same way and serves to give that variety to the bill of fare for which the average housekeeper is always seeking. To prepare it let the lamb stew very gently in a small quantity of water, in which has been placed a couple of potatoes, cut up very fine. When these have been dissolved into a starchy mess add sufficient water nearly to cover the meat, putting in two sliced carrots, more chopped potatoes and a cupful of green peas. After the meat and vegetables are soft slice half a lemon, from which the seeds have been removed, and use it for garnishing, taking care to place the peas, carrots, etc., in alternate rows. Shirt Waist with Underarm Gores. Plain shirt waists made in tailor style, always are in demand and always are smart. This one is made with underarm gores, which render it peculiarly well suited to stout figures and is appropriate for the entire range of waistings, although shown in white mercerized cheviot. The back is plain, drawn down in gathers at the waist line, but the fronts are slightly full and it peculiarly well suited to stout figures and is appropriate for the entire range of waistings, although shown in white mercerized cheviot. The back is plain, drawn down in gathers at the waist line, but the fronts are slightly full and blouse over the belt. With the waist are worn a novel tie and belt of ribbon, the former being made in one with the stock and closed at the back. The waist consists of fronts, back and under-arm gores, the fronts being laid in narrow plats at their upper edges and either plaited at the waist line or left free to be adjusted to the figure as preferred. The sleeves are the fashionable ones of the season and form drooping puffs over the cuffs. The quantity of material required for the medium size is $4\%$ yards 21 inches wide, 4 yards 27 inches wide or $2\%$ yards 44 inches wide, with $1\%$ yard of any width for tie. Apple Slump: Pare and core six good sized apples, cut them into quarters, put in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Add two bay leaves and simmer gently until the apples are nearly tender. Put into a bowl one pint of flour, add a rounding teaspoon of baking powder, mix thoroughly and add sufficient milk to molten. Roll this out and cut into biscuits. Stand them over the top of the apples. Cover the saucepan and cook for fifteen minutes. Serve with hard sauce. Ginger Apples. Select four good-sized apples; parec core and cut into quarters; stand them in a saucepan, add a half cup of sugar, an ounce of ginger, cut into slices a clipping of the yellow rind of lemon and one pint of water; cover the saucepan and stand over a moder ate fire until the apples are perfectly tender, dish them, boil down the sip and baste it over the apples. These may be served with or without whipped cream. New Way to Serve Cucumbers. At a recent dinner, the cucumbers, by having the centers removed, were turned into little green boats, the inside having been minced finely and seasoned with pepper, salt and vinegar and replaced in the boat, and one of these set before each guest.

IN KANSAS CITY, The paid circulation of THE RISING SON is more than double the combined circulation of all the other Kansas City Golored weekly newspapers. Any time you want to hear the Negro holler, simply tell the truth on him. Discipline is good for the human heart, even if some people do have to die two or three deaths before they become men. Nick Chiles, editor of the Plain-dealer, wrote to the Pope at Rome; he had better applied to the pope at home. We believe it would have been more effective. We are indeed proud of the material the Lincoln High school turned out as graduates, but that benign the case, what have we done by way of securing them a position since we have fitted them for the battles of life? This is a day for doing things and we ought to get down to business. We older people who stand around corners or going about from house to house telling what ought to be done and criticising somebody for not doing something, ought to be things of the past. Education without a good foundation means but little. We claim we are progressing. Progress implies a knowledge of the production of and trade in those commodities that men need. If we know nothing about these things and cannot produce commodities that other men must have, what are we going to amount to? Do not misrepresent us. We are not against churches, nor any particular individual, but we do think our people should be taught to live while on earth. The church should teach us to lay up some treasures on earth and some in heaven, too. It is this example of extravagance and lack of business methods to which we take exceptions. Brothers, this will not solve the Negro problem. We would like for some of our good ministers to tell us what discipline in a church means, and if it means anything at all, why not enforce it to some extent. Do you not know you are destroying the influence of the church and ruining the chances of the Negro race by this luke-warm, go-ahead, unconcerned, no-way of doing business? Members are left to do as they please. Too many people join the church now for a cloak. Preachers say, "You must not say anything about that, for she is Miss or Mrs. So-and-so." The Sun fails to find how the Republican party can, at this time, endorse J. W. Folk for doing his duty. Two years ago we had, in the person of Herbert S. Hadley, prosecuting attorney of Jackson county, Mo., a man who fought as hard to convict election thieves, ballot box stuffers, jury bribers, boodlers, and criminals of every description as did the Hon. J. W. Folk of St. Louis. The great and good people did not think it wise even to reelect Mr. Hadley upon such a record. Why should this party now follow the advice of the Star and put at the head of its ticket a man from the Democratic ranks? The African Methodist Episcopal church seems to be destined to be the greatest institution among negroes, but seeming to be destined to be great does not make it so now. It is time that this church has some brainy men in its ranks, yet along the line of commerce how many Negroes have been benefited by it? We have supplied the money, and to the credit of the ministers, millions of dollars have been collected and paid in. Washerwomen, hewers of wood and drawers of water, and wage earners in general have borne the burden. What benefit to us is it to hold these long sessions of conference at enormous expense, when the same amount of business could be transacted in half the time at half the cost? It is true that a few can travel about in style, have a good time and do but little, still we would ask, is that the great object for which the church was established?

Miss Alberta Bailey will return from Oberlin soon and bring a few young lady friends with her. The school teachers, about now, are very much interested in the movements of the board of education. Dr. J. N. Birch has moved the house he bought recently, and will have a modern home fitted up adjoining his residence. John Hill, the head waiter at the Savoy, was stricken by paralysis last Thursday and is now quite ill at Douglass hospital. Heim's Electric park opened last Sunday in full blast.

And I went homeward to our quaint old farm And he went on his way; And he has never crossed that field again From that time to this day. I wonder if he ever gives a thought To what he left behind— And I start sometimes, dreaming that I hear A footstep in the wind. If he had said one regretful word. Or I had shed a tear.

WOULDN'T TAKE COPPER "A pound's worth of stamps, and the cash all in coppers? I can't take it; you must bring silver!" said the postmistress to an old Irishwoman. "But Mr. Johnson sent for them," said the Irishwoman. turned it into something else at the last minute, and looked round for some weapon, for there was murder in her heart. But it was no use, she knew the old dame was within her rights, and with hands clenched till the nails "Can't help it," said the postmistress, who was an old maid, and as crusty as if she had been hard-baked. "Faith and sure, marm," said the Irishwoman, "I can't go widout 'em." "But I say," said the postmistress, "I won't take copper," and she banked the little door in the old woman's face. The Irishwoman was nonplussed for a minute or so, and then a brilliant idea occurred to her, which she put into operation at once. Taking a penny from the bag, she knocked at the little door with it. "Well, what do you want?" said the old maid, opening the door. "Is this the postoffice, marm?" said the Irishwoman, politely. "You know it is," snapped the old maid. "Plaze, marm, do you sell stamps?" "Of course I do!" "Would you be after giving me one, then, marm?" said the Irishwoman. The postmistress could not refuse this request; though a pound's worth of copper was not a legal tender, a penny most certainly was, and she handed out the stamp, and swept the penny into the drawer. "Thank you kindly," said the Irishwoman, and the door banged to again. In a few seconds another rap at the door brought up the old maid again, who was getting her tea. "Well, what is it?" she demanded, angrily. "Sure, marm, I'm thinking I'll be wanting a stamp," said the Irishwoman, with a look of innocence ten inches deep, and she put a penny down. The old maid, in giving her the stamp, brought her open hand down with a thwack on the desk that would have caused a mortal explosion in a blackbeetle, and her looks would have turned XXXX beer into vinegar on the spot. "Thank you kindly," said the Irishwoman again, with a curtsy that made the old maid blush and wish that swearing wasn't a sin, and the door went to with an extra bang. In a few minutes more there was another rap at the door, and the old maid sprang from the tea table with something that did sound just a little A woman stands at a desk, looking into a mirror. She is wearing a long dress and a hat. A trash bin is placed under her feet. "Faith an' sure, marm, I can't go wid-out 'em." like an oath, but which we hope was not one. "What do you want now?" she said to the old dame looking in at the little doorway. "I think I'll have a stamp, honey!" was the answer, delivered with most exasperating humility. "Here, then," said the old maid, with a look of hate that would burn a hole through a firebrick, if it could have been converted into force. "Where'll I put it on the letter, sure?" said the old lady, coaxingly. "Go hang yourself, you old hag!" said the furious postmistress, and the door went to with a bong that shook the whole building. Another rap came presently, and then the old maid let out something beginning with a big 'b' but she turned it into something else at the last minute, and looked round for some weapon, for there was murder in her heart. But it was no use, she knew the old dame was within her rights, and with hands clenched till the nails entered the flesh, she again opened the little door. "Plaze, marm, is this a postoffice?" said the Irishwoman, with a look childlike and bland, and then the postmistress went off. After dancing round the room like a gushing thing of fifteen summers, and upsetting the tea table in her gyrations, she clapped her hands together Y "I'll be troubling you for a stamp, I'm thinking," said her tormentor. in an ecstasy of boundless rage and madness. "Sure, marm, it's good news you've been havin' this morning, you're so lily," said the old lady outside; and then the gushing malden went off again, jumping like an india-rubber ball. "Plaze, marm, do you sell stamps here?" said the Irishwoman, putting her head inside. "Oh, dear, oh, dear!" sighed the postmistress, after her exhausting exercise. "Whatever do you want now?" "I'll be troubling you for a stamp, I'm thinking," said her tormentor. "Very well; there it is," said the old maid, with an effort to be caim that shortened her life several hours. "Oh, thank you kindly," said the beldame outside, and the little door went to once more, this time with a gentler swish than before. After listening awhile, the postmistress, hearing nothing more, sat down on a chair and wondered what Irish-women, and this one in particular, were made for. Then she wondered if it would be possible to lure this one inside and cut her throat, and then she felt like crying, and then she looked at her broken teacups and the comforting tea that was wasted, and then she crouched down in a corner, and, opening a drawer, put her head inside it, and swore a volley of feminine oaths into it in a hoarse whisper. This comforted her for a minute, and then came that awful rap at the little door again. With a groan that seemed to come all the way from her toes, she rose to her feet and walked round the room two or three times to cool herself, and she opened the door again. "A stamp, if ye plaze," said the impostor outside, with a smile of superhuman innocence. "How many do you want?" said the humbled postmistress. "Oh, sure, marm, only one at present; I'll be comin' again soon; maybe it's a rale good customer I'll be, marm," and she turned away. "Take them now, please," said the old maid, in a raint, choking voice. "I'll take copper."—Liverpool (Eng.) Mercury. Passing of Gas in New York. Electric lighting will entirely eliminate gas in the business districts of New York within the next five years. A canvass of the leading architects and real estate firms resulted in a unanimous statement that 100 per cent of the business buildings and 98 per cent of the resident buildings erected within the last two years in New York city have been equipped exclusively with electrical fittings. Seven-eighths of the sky scrapers erected within that period maintain their own plant. WITH THE WORLD'S BEST WRITERS REAL POWER OF THE PRESS. But is it not plain that the power of the press as a saving agency depends not so much on the skill of journalists as on their nobility of character and their moral motive? When we see so many accomplished public men, adepts in all the technical arts of politics, putting their power to unpatriotic and selfish uses, it seems to us that the salvation of the republic depends more on the instruction and quickening of conscience than on greater capacity for work. This is also the peculiar needs of journalists, and especially of proprietors of journals, who, as a rule, will be capitalists, not trained in any school of journalism, and having little of the spirit of heroic self-sacrifice in a missionary undertaking—Boston Herald. DEVELOPMENT IN THE SOUTH. Railroad earnings recently made public reflect the falling off in traffic in the east and the west, but thus far the returns from lines in the south show a continued heavy movement of freight, indicating that the wave of depression which has swept over some sections of the country has not reached Dfxie. The south has made wonderful strides in the development of its natural resources during the last decade, and is steadily forging to the front in the manufacturing line. It has supplanted the east in the manufacture of coarse cotton goods and is gradually turning its attention to the production of the finer goods, with every prospect that it will be as successful in this undertaking as it has been in the making of coarse goods. In the production of iron it is pushing the west, while in coal, timber and other products of the earth and forest it occupies a commanding position. —Baltimore News. CO-EDUCATION AND MARRIAGE. Co-education does not discourage matrimony in America. In every high school where boys and girls are brought together there are budding romances that not infrequently flower into matrimony, and as for the colleges and universities where men and women meet on an equal basis the conditions are extremely favorable to matrimony, and seldom are these marriages unhappy. Indeed, so far from college education unfitting a woman for the duties of domesticity, the spectacle of a college-bred woman in the divorce courts is practically unknown. —London Telegraph. TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO Only by trying seriously to understand conditions of 200 years ago may we bring ourselves to realize the advance the country and the world have made in the two centuries a newspaper press has existed in America. In April, 1704, was founded the first American newspaper which succeeded in establishing itself, the Boston News-Letter. Popular education, freedom of speech, religious toleration and government by the people were then unknown in the colonies; to worship according to the rites of the Catholic church was a capital offense in Massachusetts; none but members of established churches could hold office; it was a criminal act for any person to ride, or children to play, on Sunday; men and women were obliged to confess before congregations, and any one who did not attend church could be fined, according to law.—Boston Globe. CAN DUCKS SMELL? It has been often asked whether or not ducks can smell. Some hunters cite from their experiences instances that seem to show ducks can smell, others that ducks cannot. Now, the naturalists would say that ducks, owing to their habit, have no need to smell, and hence cannot. This rule is not infallible, but generally holds good. Any wild thing with such eyes as ducks have does not need to smell. Nature seems to have given birds a discerning nose. A fox will look straight at a man and not see him, even when only a few feet away, provided he does not smell him or the man does not move. A duck will not only see a man standing perfectly still at a long distance, regardless of the wind, but will notice any change in the landmarks of its haunts or feeding grounds.—Outing. THE BROWN MAN AND THE GUN It has at last been demonstrated, in this first considerable collision between an Oriental and European army under conditions of modern warfare, that the small brown man is a foe who is to tax the best efforts of an aggressive white civilization. Fighting with battle axes, as of old, he would be put out of the combat in short order, man for man; but he is plainly the peer of any in handling a gun and putting to his service the machinery of destruction which western civilization has contrived for its own aggrandizements. The results of the war so far are to place in a new light entirely the projects of the western powers for the disposition of the eastern world.—Springfield Republican. GOING TO FUNERALS. The habit of going to funerals grows upon one so that it becomes virtually ineradicable if properly encouraged. Such funerals as those of Grant and Sherman are grandly solemn. Mourning gives place to morbid curiosity to witness the spectacle and listen to the lofty strains of brass bands in dead marches. There is something deeply impressive about a military funeral. As for the every-day funeral, with its real crepe and grief, nothing is so grewsome. I hope I never shall be obliged to attend any but my own, and the thought of doing that is not cheering. I am willing to leave funerals to those who dearly love them.—New York Press. TWO OLD FOES NOW FRIENDS The ending of the old enmity of France and England is doubtless the most remarkable burial of the hatchet recorded in history. In the course of their rivalry these inveterate foes, from the time of the Conquest to the French Revolution, fought twenty wars. In the Bonaparte campaigns they suffered a loss of 1,900,000 lives in battle, camp and hospital and a waste of money exceeding six billions of dollars. For the twenty-three years of the Bonaparte wars the annual deathrate of the British army was 57,000, of whom 7,000 were killed in action. Now it is all over, at least until the next quarrel. France, in M. Pelletan's words, "no longer dreams of conquest." Her victories henceforth will be those of peace. The sacrifice of men and money by these nations in their disputes is probably unexamined in extent. It points the obvious moral of war's barbarity and waste. Yet if all the battles between England and France were to be expunged from history what a hiatus there would be in the record of spectacular warfare, of chivalry and martial glory and kingly ambition!—New York World. FRENCH WOMEN AND SPORTS The necessity of chaperonage has largely interfered with the physical development of the French girl. It is not to be expected that a mother or an aunt or other person qualified to chaperon can take or desire to take part in a game of golf with the same enthusiasm as a young player. Some progress, however, has been effected of late. The keen interest taken in skating last winter did much to temporarily eliminate the chaperon, and now we find the French champion woman tennis player. Mile. Masson, organizing a ground hockey club in Paris exclusively for women.—Illustrated Sporting News. MOST DANGEROUS MAN OF ALL When the American people undertake reform they must begin nearest the ground, closest to the great source. If they will insist on an end of violence and murder by labor and on purity in their legislators they must first get after the corrupt scoundrels who stand in the background and poison all sources of public action by their bribes. The principal villain is the man who buys councils and corrupt legislators, the "respected" citizen, the "promoter," the "manager," who is clothed in soft ralment, and whose name is writ large. This man, who is to-day sapping the vitality of American institutions, municipal, state and national, is the one that must first be driven from prominence to obscurity, from respectability to disgrace, from fame to infamy.-Indianapolis News. THE ENGINES OF WAR. At a dinner during the Franco-German war Disraeli did not open his mouth till near the end of the entertainment, when he observed in his most sententious manner: "The French embarked in this war because they conceived that they had the superiority in arms of precision; they had the chassepot and they had the mitrailleuse" (which he pronounced "mitraillouse"); but of the third engine, called a man, they did not possess even a single specimen." This said, he relapsed into perfect silence. —From the Diary of Sir Mountstuart Grant Duff. NEW CONSUMPTION TREATMENT A new remedial agent giving great promise of future success in the treatment of consumption is being tried by two St. Louis physicians. The remedy is a very powerful protel, which is found in healthy blood, and the theory is that its use increases the carrying power of the blood so that the dread disease can be thrown off by the patient. The drug is given internally, inhaled in the form of spray or, in extreme cases, injected hypodermically. It is very rapid in its action, the beneficial effect being noticeable in a few days. It is alleged that one patient, who was unable to rise from bed, after receiving the treatment for seven days walked a distance of four blocks and climbed a flight of stairs. It is earnestly to be hoped that further investigation will prove the new remedy capable of all that is claimed for it.—Utica Globe. JEST AND JOLLY Nearing the Limit. "Do you know, darling," said the lovestick young man who was busy planting microbes, "that I believe it makes me a better man every time I kiss you!" "Well," rejoined the taffy-haired girl in the parlor scene, "at the pace you are going now there will soon be no more room for improvement." The Truth Comes Out. "I say, Adam," remarked Darwin, as they met on the golden sidewalk one morning, "how about that pet hobby of mine; did the original man really have a tail?" "Sure he did," replied Adam, "but not the kind you alluded to in trying to make a monkey of yourself. It was just an ordinary, every-day tale of woe. See?" Poor Man!

St. John, Kansas, May 30.—A very peculiar case is that of the little son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. McBride of this place, as reported by Dr. Jesse L. Limes, the attending physician. "The little boy had a severe case of malignant scarletina which left him semi-paralyzed in the right leg and right arm. He also lost the hearing in the right ear. "I treated him and he gained slowly and had begun to try to use his limbs some when a traveling doctor came along and persuaded the child's parents that he could cure their boy in a short time. They used his medicines, but the boy grew worse and began having spells very like epilepsy. "Mr. McBride came to me again and I proposed giving him a course of Dodd's Kidney Pills, which was commenced at once. The improvement was instant and in a week's time the epileptic seizures ceased together." In the books and in letters written by proper people, no one ever goes to bed; they "retire."

Such was my feeling a few months ago when I was advised that my poor health was caused by prolapse or falling of the womb. The words sounded like a knell to me. I felt that my sun had set; but Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound came to me as an elixir of life; it restored the lost forces and built me up until my good health returned to me. For four months I took the medicine daily, and each dose added health and strength. I am so thankful for the help I obtained through its use."—MRS.

They prefer, when selling fat cattle, to pit their experience against that of the butcher, and to sell at sight instead of by weight. At present the total of all the cattle markets of England and Scotland in which the "weigh bridge" is scheduled as in use is only twenty-one, of which six are in Scotland and fifteen in England. Origin of Names. In England the daw is hardly ever mentioned but as Jack; yet daw and not jackdaw is the proper name of the species. It is suggested that the pie owes the "mag" to some corruption of Margaret or Meg. To mag is to chatter, but whether the verb was derived from the name or the name from the verb is a question. It is more probable that the jimcrow of America (the old name for a negro boy) was brought across from England in the day when a crow was Jim as a swallow was Dick. Little Known Sayings of Christ.

Korean school children, when placed side by side with Chinese and Japanese pupils, have always shown themselves to be, from an intellectual point of view, superior. This is the more surprising when it is considered that the ordinary curriculum of a country school embraces only the study of the classics of two of China's sages, a native author's volume on the "eternal fitness" of things, and a treatise on geography, from which the accompanying map is taken. On the map the circle of land round about is North and South America, divided so as to suit the flat surface; 79 is Korea, 80 is China, with the Yang-tse cutting it in two; 33 is Japan, 81 is Annam, 82 India, and 84 Africa. The inland sea north of Africa is the Mediterranean, while 83 and the surrounding islands are those of the South Pacific; 78 is Russia, which is by the Koreans called "the Midnight Kingdom." 1, 2, and 3, which stand for the British Isles, are called, respectively, "ormouthed," "white," and "busy." The characteristic "white" is to be taken literally, for these Saxons claim a paleness in the skin more marked than that of any other people. This, together with the extravagant use of what they call "soap," makes true in their case the hieroglyphic "white." "Busy" points to their trading and colonizing propensities, for which they are especially noted, annexing and claiming shares in every part of the earth. The "British lion" of the West ranks equally in fame and importance with the Korean tiger of the East. the two preserving a balance of power, as can be seen by their location on either side of the map. A Tame Eagle. Mr. Damarin, county treasurer of Havana, a town in Illinois, has a pet eagle, one that stays in the Court house park without being caged. He is at liberty to go when and where he pleases. Mr. Damarin feeds his pet twice a day. He can go up to him and stroke him, just as he would a cat or dog. When there is any public festival in Havana the eagle proves a great attraction. This is the history of the bird: A gentleman shot and crippled him last autumn, and took him home and kept him until this spring, when his son brought him to Havana and put him in a squirrel case. But that was too small, and he could not learn to fly, as one of his wings had been injured. The county officers built a cage about twelve feet square, and he was kept in that cage for about six weeks. A stump of a tree was put in the cage, and the cagle stayed on that tree all the time when not flying or walking in the park. As even the cage was not large enough to let him fly, his captors gave him his liberty. But the bird will not leave. He eats fresh beef, kidneys, or liver.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Farmer Has Tamed Wolf. Orrin Worral, living three miles south of Pawnee, Kan., has a civilized wolf, which has been bred to a dog and is now the mother of six pups. She will follow Mr. Worral half way to town nearly every day, and then take to the woods and return home. So long as Mr. Worral is in sight the wolf will keep in the road, but as soon as he is gone she seeks the timber and wends her way back home.—Exchange. House Built to Last. The house on the farm of John B. Cormack, in Shelburne, Mass., was built by Ira Arms in 1816. The construction is of brick, single wall. Mr. Arms would use nothing but the best pine in finishing and discarded every board having knots. In the parlor, which was the grand room of the house, four men worked a week carving the decorations.

N-Ray Studies Edouard Meyer finds that the vegetable organism, as well as the animal, gives off N-rays in varying quantities, as may be made evident by the feebly fluorescent screen. The most marked indications are given by the green parts, such as stems, and especially leaves, but the emanations are feebly detectable from the flower. On treating tissues in active growth with the vapor of chloroform, so as to slacken their vital functions, the N-ray indications were correspondingly lessened. Soft Zinc. A method of producing soft zinc has been patented in France. Equal parts of zinc and aluminum are melted, to which a small amount of bismuth is added.

It is stated that the soft zinc so produced is of 90 per cent purity.

Catarrh of the Stomach is Generally Called Dyspepsia—Something to Produce Artificial Digestion is Generally Taken. Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host of Other Digestive Remedies Has Been Invented. These Remedies Do Not Reach the Seat of the Difficulty, Which is Really Catarrh. E X. U. S. Senator M. C. Butler from South Carolina, was Senator from that State for two terms. In a recent letter to The Peruana Medicine Co. from Washington, D. C., says: "I can recommend Peruana for dyspepsia and stomach trouble. I have been using your medicine for a short period and I feel very much relieved. It is indeed a wonderful medicine besides a good tonic."—M. C. Butler. The only rational way to cure dyspepsia is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce artificial digestion. It cures catarrh and leaves the stomach to perform digestion in a natural way. This is vastly better and safer than resorting to artificial methods or narcotics. Peruna has cured more cases of dyspepsia than all other remedies combined, simply because it cures catarrh wherever located. If catarrh is located in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh has fastened itself in the throat or bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When catarrh becomes settled in the stomach, Peruna cures it, as well in this location as in any other. Peruna is not simply a remedy for dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy. Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is generally dependent upon catarrh. ```markdown ``` Look for this trade mark on genuine Keith's hand-made mattress costs no more and is superior in every way to machine-made good.
