Topeka, Kan., July 20, 1904. Rev. F. G. Snelson: Dear Brother:—"To all the Saints and faithful brethren scattered abroad, Greeting. Grace be unto you, and peace from God, our Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ." Through the providence of Almighty God and the wisdom of the late General Conference, which assembled in Chicago, Ill., I have been assigned to the Fifth Episcopal District of the A. M. E. church, embracing Missouri, North Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, California and Puget Sound Conferences. In assuming the responsibilities connected with the work of this district I beg to call your attention to the fact that with the growth of our great church our responsibilities increase spiritual and temporal. It is our duty to preach repentance, conviction, regeneration and sanctification, without which we cannot see the Lord. In performing this important duty the salvation of souls should be uppermost in our minds; an accurate account should be kept of every conversion and accession into the kingdom of grace. In order that we may accomplish this work successfully: 1. We should have the ability and common-sense to do that which we undertake, whether it be in profession, commerce, trade or manual labor. 2. Confidence in the Cause for which we stand. 3. Obedience to its laws. 4. Activity, full of energy and courage that oppositions and impediments cannot deter. 5. A field in which to operate, where opportunity will be given each of us to demonstrate our capability of doing the work committed to our care. BISHOP GRANT. RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE ON THE DEATH OF BROTHER B. L. THOMPSON. Adopted by Green Pasture Lodge, No. Whereas, It has pleased the Supreme Architect of the universe to remove from our midst our worthy and esteemed brother, B. L. Thompson, who departed this life Sunday, August 14th; and, Whereas, The long and intimate acquaintance held with him in the faithful discharge of his duties makes it eminently befitting that we record our appreciation of him both as a man and a Mason; therefore, be it Resolved, That the wisdo mand abil it ywhich he has exercised in the aid of our organization by services, contribution and council, be ever held in grateful remebrance. Resolved, That the sudden removal of such a life from among us leaves a vacancy and a shadow, that will prove a serious loss to us as well as the community at large. And while we bow in humble submission to the Deity, it is only softened by the hope that his spirit is now resting in the "Grand Lodge Above, where the Son of God is Grand Masters, and whose will must be done on earth as it is in heaven. Resolved, That to the bereaved wife and family we extend out deepest and profound sympathy and commend them to the Divine Healer above, who in his wisdom hath said, "I will be a husband to the husbandless and a father to the fatherless. Be it further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be mailed to the devoted wife and mother, a copy sent to The Rising Son for publication, that our lodge room be draped in mourning for 30 days, and that a page be set apart in our official record for its enrolment thereon. Respectfully submitted, J. W. YOUNG, EDW. S. LEWIS, Committee. Montgomery's Victim Dead. Lon Montgomery, accused by the police of shooting and killing Minnie Blakeley, his former sweetheart, at her home, 1120 McGee street, last week, has not been arrested. Death of Chick Morgan. The end came to Chick Morgan on Tuesday of last week. He had been ill for some time. He was buried under the auspices of Progress Lodge, No. 43, K. of P. While Chick Morgan was engaged in the saloon business, his mind and training were different. His ambition was that his wife and children should be provided with a home, and being unable to secure employment along other lines, he was temporarily engaged in conducting a saloon.

Uriah Cole was elected assistant secretary to succeed B. S. Lewis, who is out of the city. The club now has a membership of 63. Wife Drove Pesta Away. A Yorkshire man whose poor relations pestered him continually, married the worst scold in the county in order to have a guardian who would protect him from the importunate legacy hunters. The venomous and incessant vituperation of the woman had the desired effect. Silk From Wood Pulp. Silk is now manufactured from wood pulp, and the only difference between natural silk and the artificial silk so produced is that the latter exceeds the former in luster and takes the dye more readily, affording more permanent colors. Automobile Fishing Boats. Fishermen on the Lake of Neuchatel are using automobile boats. They are driven by a benzine motor and lighted by electricity. They are flat-bottomed, glide noiselessly over the water, do not frighten the fish and are a great success. No Meat at Breakfast. Nect is seldom seen on the breakfast table in Austria and Germany, nor is much use made of the prepared cereals, so popular in America. Wheat rolls and rye bread form the staple breakfast food. Needs Them In His Business. If the man you are with is less than 15 years old, and you ask him for a lyspepsia tablet, he will generally take a little bottle out of his pocket and mechanically give you one.—Somerville Journal. Capacity of Toada. The toad is exceedingly greedy. It feeds continuously throughout the night, and in twenty-four hours consumes a quantity of insect equal to about four times its stomach capacity. Bride Kept Long From Mother. When a Chinese girl marries she must wait four months before eliquette allows her to pay her first visit to her mother. Leprosy in India. India is the great leper country of the world. Here there existed in 1902 over 250,000 cases of this frightful disease. No Bare Japanese Stamps Japan has no very rare postage stamps. The most ever paid for a specimen was $50. The "Bird in the Hand." He is no wise man that will quit a certainty for an uncertainty.—Samuel Johnson. Over Falls of Niagara. Thirty-two million tons of water roll over the cliff at Niagara in every hour. Smallest Monarchy on Earth The sovereign who reigns over the smallest monarchy in the world is the king of Cocos, a group of islands near Sumatra. These islands were discovered about 300 years ago by the captain of the Keeling, but were comparatively little known till 1825. When Mr. Ross, an Englishman, visited them he was struck by their beauty and took up his abode there. It is his grandson, George Ross, who now Lolds sway over the Cocos. Condemna Top Hats. The London Medical Press thus issues a call for heroes: "The top hat is ugly, unhygienic and embarrassing. Its sole claim to support is the appearance of respectability it gives. If only a few medical baronets would drive to their consultations in Panamas and cloth caps they would break the tyranny of habit over health and comeliness, and at the same time earn the undying gratitude of their humbler conferences." Brefreshments in Church Family pews were introduced at the beginning of the seventeenth century. Some of these had a table and place, also curtains and wives blinds, so as to secure the utmost privacy. This led to abuse. In some of the closed pews card playing was not uncommon and the tottum of a long service was sometimes relieved by light refreshments—The Reliquary. Wild Dogs of Central Africa The wild dog of central Africa, an explorer writes, is common enough. He is an ugly looking beast, with a pied body, coarse hair, short head and large upright ears. These wild dogs play fearful havoc with game, occasionally clearing out whose districts precisely in the same manner as he red dhole of India, before which even the tiger is said to retreat. Snake That Stole. While working close to a farm house at Fulbeck, in Lincolnshire, a laborer was astonished to see a snake, over a yard long, swim across a stream. With some trouble he captured it and found in its mouth a cheese cake which it had stolen from the farm house larder on the other side of the river.—London Daily Express. Much Tea Drunk in Japan. Tea-drinking is a constant occupation for a Tibetan. In every tent and in every house the tea-kettle is always on the fire. The laws of hospitality bind all to present tea to their guests, and every Tibetan carries with her a wooden bowl of Himalayan maple by way of a tea cup. A number of companies are prospecting for petroleum in various parts of Mexico. A gusher has recently been struck near Tampico, on the property of the Mexican Petroleum Company, which has been sinking wells in the region for the last two or three years. Other wells are being sunk near the gusher, and experts believe that the company is about to be rewarded for the money it has spent upon prospecting by the finding of oil in paying quantities. Bread of the Nations. Even the poor in the United States and England eat white bread. In most of the continental countries of Europe rye bread is the staple. The Russians use buckwheat. The Laplanders have a bread made of oaten meal mixed with pine bark, and the Icelanders make their flour from lichens. Banana flour is used in the South Sea islands. Boston Clock Over 100 Years Old. Boston Clock Over 100 Years Old. The clock upon the organ loft in the old North church of Paul Revere fame is more than 100 years old. It was cleaned and repaired a quarter of a century ago by a Boston watchmaker, whose only charge for the work was the privilege of engraving his name upon the back of the ancient timepiece.-Boston Record. Chinese Wisdom. When the sword is rusty, the plow bright, the prisons empty, the granaries full, the steps of the temple worn down and those of the law courts grass-worn; when doctors go a-foot, the bakers on horseback, and the men of letters drive in their own carriages, then the empire is well governed.—Chinese Saying. Evile of Darkness. Florence Nightingale declared that "a dark house is almost always unhealthy; always an ill-aired house. Want of light stops growth and promotes scrofula, rickets, consumption, etc., especially among children. People lose their health in a dark house and if they get ill they cannot get well again in it." Old English Labor Law There has recently been unearthed an old labor law that related to the tailors of England. It was in force until 121 years ago. It compelled a work day of fourteen hours, with a maximum daily wage of 48 cents, and provided imprisonment for two months for any tailor who joined a union. Not as Fast as It Seems. The highest speed which can be attained in an "express" elevator, in a very high office building, is about seventy feet a minute. That is equivalent to a mile in more than seven minutes, and many a pedestrian has walked for considerable distances at nearly as fast a pace. To Keep Shoestrings Tied. A shoe authority gives simple direction for keeping the bothersome shoe-string tied. After tying in a bow knot, pin the bow underneath with a small safety pin, taking care that the pin goes through two loops and two eads. The shoe ribbons will remain in place all day. Ants Good as Compasses. In the tropical northern territory of South Australia travelers need not carry a compass. The district abounds with the nests of the magnet or meridian ant. The longer axes of these nests point due north and south. Such Is Life. "I find this world divided into two classes of critics," writes a Young Mother to this office: "those who criticise when I whip my children and those who blame me when I don't."—Atchison Globe. Court Defines Brandy. It has been judicially decided in England that brandy is an alcoholic liquor, the spirit of which is obtained by the distillation of wine from the grape, and that to sell anything else as "brandy" is fraud. Retort Medical. An Atchison man went to a doctor and said: "I want to be cured of dyspepsia." Whereupon the doctor said: "If I knew how to cure dyspepsia, I wouldn't have it."—Atchison Globe. Valuable Manuscript Is Stolen. A manuscript by the composer Palestrina was stolen some time ago in the Roman Lateran. It is valued at $25,000, and is believed to be in Germany. One Case of Quintuplets According to the British Medical Journal, a genuine case of quintuplets has been reported to a Berlin medical society. None of the infants survived. Ever Notice That— It isn't what a man knows, but what he thinks he knows, that he brags about? Big talk means little knowledge. Michigan Iron Mines The iron mines of Michigan give employment to 14,456 persons, and their products amount to $26,695,860. Plenty of Mysterious Grumbling.

Force of Blue Whale A blue whale, harpooned by a New- foundland whaler in Placentia Bay in March, 1903, towed the steam whaler Puma 122 miles, the screw being re- versed, at full speed the whole time, and not until twenty-six hours elapsed was exhausted and killed. Early Rising. "To be forced to get up early," says an English physician, "grinds the soul, curdles the blood, swells the spleen, destroys all good intentions and disturbs all day the mental activities. Criminals are always recruited from the early-rising class." To Control Runaway Horses. An Austrian has invented safety reins for runaway horses, by means of which two small rollers can be made to press the horse's windpipe when desired. The animal must stop at once for want of breath. Blue Light for Inflammation. The effect of blue light in reducing inflammation, diminishing pain, promoting absorption of morbid secretions and curing diseases of the skin, has been shown by several recent researches. Uncle Allen. "You never know how much can be said on both sides of a question," reflected Uncle Allen Sparks, "until you hear two women trying to tell each other how to make currant jelly."

German Coast Sinking Within the past fifty years Hamburg and the coast of Germany in its neighborhood has sunk five feet nine inches. Lancashire County for Twins. Lancashire holds the record of any English county for twins. The average in 668 twins yearly. Potato Eating Nations. The Belgians are the greatest potato eaters in the world, and the Irish come second. QUIET HOUR Psalm XXIII. The Lord's my Shepherd ever blest; And surely I no want shall know. In pastures green He make me rest, He leads me where still waters flow. His grace restores with succor meet His soul when fault and comfortless. He for his peace restores my feet In paths of peace and righteousness. Yeah, though I walk through death's dark vale. No fear of evil shall there be; For Thou art with me; nor can fail Thy rod and staff to comfort me. For me Thou hast a table spread Before the presence of my foes; With oil Thou dost amount my head; My cup of blessing overflows. Oh, surely only grace and love Shall follow me till life is oer; Thou John shall rest in my heart; I will happy dwell upon me. —Rev. E. A. Collier, D. D. A Vision of Divine Duty. And the Angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush, and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed—Ekodus, ill. 2. First of all we learn from the beautiful story of Moses that God will find you wherever you are and will give to you a divine duty. When all things were ready God found Moses away there in the rocky country of Midian. Moses seemed almost to have hidden away from God, for the record says that he now led the sheep to the further side of the mountain of Horebe. Many a day he had pastured them in the open plain and nothing unusual occurred. But on this day when he least expects it he sees the presence of God in the bush which shone with divine glory. In the light of this sacred history read your own life story. Do not fear that you will ever be forgotten or overlooked if you are following God's leading. When you are needed God will find you. He took Elisha from the plow and made him a great prophet; he took David from the shepheru life and made him a great king; he took John and Peter from their fishing boats and made them masters or eternal truth; and when he wants you he will make it as plain as he made it plain that he wanted Moses. We learn also from this story that we cannot hurry God's plans. Four hundred years before God had promised this deliverance. The people supposed that God had forgotten his promise, but he had not. Forty years had passed away in Moses' desert life and nothing unusual had happened. You cannot hurry the plans of the Almighty, for they are arranged with reference to great and small things of the whole universe. Why not be patient until you see his revelation of divine duty, whether that be in one, or ten or forty years? The four hundred years of waiting on the part of the chosen people was a period of preparation. The forty years of voluntary banishment for Moses was a time of preparation for the leadership, without which he could not had led them out of Egypt into the land of promise. Nor is it too late with you. Moses was now eighty years old. He might have pleaded that he was too old. But God wanted him so he made it very plain. There is a cry to-day for young men to be the leaders in the affairs of the world. But do not be misled by this. The best day of every good man is before him up to the last. Preparedness to do God's will is the test of the vision of divine duty. Do not then be discouraged if you are kept for many months and even years at the plain, simple duty of every day life, for some day there will surely shine forth to you, bright and clear the light of the revelation of your pleasant duty to God and man. In the morning we may open our window to the flood of sunshine or to the shadow of the dark gray clouds, or we may start our journey in the luxury of health or with leaden footed heaviness; it matters not, for he says, "Certainly, I will be with thee." Put him to the test and you will see the flashing forth of divine duty as Moses saw it in the incident of the burning bush and as the wise men saw it in the Star of Bethlehem.—John Lloyd Lee, D. D. The Gain of Loss It is impossible to estimate the benefits of affliction. Most men count their afflictions as so much loss. They consider that every day of suffering is a lost day, and that all the pain they bear is a disadvantage in the race of life. Life is narrower, feebler, less valuable because of sickness, loss and trouble. But they do not consider wisely. Many men have gained far more by their afflictions than by their pleasures. Adversity has added more to life than prosperity. A paralytic was brought to Jesus. His affliction was very great. Men pitied him and wondered why he should have been visited with so great a misfortune. But it was not altogether evil. Perhaps he would never have come in contact with Jesus he had not been afflicted. Coming to Jesus for healing, he found salvation also. We have no reason to suppose that he would ever have heard the words, "Thy sins be forgiven thee," had it not been for his affliction. He will have cause to thank God throughout eternity for his paralysis. Moreover, he became an object lesson to the multitudes who thronged about our Lord and witnessed the wonderful miracle. It was worth all he had suffered to be honored with the privilege of preaching Jesus to unbelievers through his healing and salvation. Yea, and his testimony was not limited to those who saw the miracle. Wherever he went through life the man that was healed was a living witness of the power and grace of Jesus Christ. Every one who met him must have felt the power of that miracle. Nor has his testimony ceased. He still bears witness. Thousands of years have passed away, and his voice is still heard. What a blessing to the world was the paralysis of that man! Let us not murmur when affliction comes upon us. It may be said of our affliction as it was of the blindness of the man whom our Lord healed: "Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God might be made manifest in him." "Unto Him." The purpose for which a thing is done determines largely, not only the character of the thing done, nor the method of its doing, but also the value of the deed when done. To do things for the sake of Jesus lifts all deeds up to the highest possible plane, and invests with spiritual dignity even the meanest of occupations. "Unto Him" will settle the quality of all deeds. Deeds that cannot be so done are not worth the doing, and yet so all-inclusive is this purifying motive that no legitimate concern of life is outside its sweep. These two words may well be taken as the standard by which our actions can and should be measured. Those that can be done unto Him should be pursued with diligence, while those that cannot or concerning which any doubt exists should be at once discarded. "Unto Him" should be the purpose of all our doings. This purpose makes drudgery divine. The person for whom a thing is done settles largely whether the doing of it should be accounted menial. Love will do for its beloved what would not be done for another. The fact that it is done for a loved one invests what else were trivial with a dignity and worth it would not otherwise know. "Unto Him" sets the measure of our doing as to its constancy. Love knows no bounds. He, being who He is and having done what He has, demands a service as long as eternity and a concession that only stops short when it has embraced the whole man. "Unto Him" thus becomes the secret of all true life. It dignifies all and makes the fleeting service pregnant with the issues of eternity. Life lived in this way is accepted as it has been lived. When in the naked, the hungry, the thirsty, the sick and the imprisoned we see Him and give of ourselves to them as unto Him, then shall He say to us: "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me." The sermon that is easy to deliver is often hard to digest. Architects of Ourselves. We are all architects of ourselves, and whatever else you and I make, or fall to make, in this world, we are making the greatest thing of all, and that is character. If we could only keep that before ourselves as we ought to do, with what mystic solemnity it would clothe smallest things of our daily action! And how it would make us feel that nothing is indifferent and nothing to be done lightly, and that all in a most profound sense is eternal! Nothing human ever dies. They tell us that the vibrations of light go rushing through the whole space of the universe and never cease. You have set going, by every act of yourself, vibrations which last to eternity: Through our soul the echoes roll. And grope forever and forever. Character is a robe, and we are our own weavers and clothiers, and we wear what we have made.—Alexander Maclaren. We never regret what we did not say so keenly as what we said. Checars which shook the building followed the re-election by acclamation of President C. P. Shea of Boston and Secretary-Treasurer E. L. Turley of Chicago by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters in convention at Cosmopolitan Hall. Other officers elected were: Vice presidents—Edward Gould, New York city; M. J. Dwyer, St. Louis; Michael Casey, San Francisco; Christopher O'Neil, Buffalo; Edward Mullin, Chicago; John Sheridan, Chicago. Trustees—John Mullen, Cincinnati; S. D. Perkins, Toledo; A. W. Walton, St. Paul. Burning hearts are the lights of the world. Belief of Great Statesman. In a letter to the then Vicar of St. Matthew's, Brighton, the late Lord Salisbury said: "To me the central point is the Resurrection of Christ, which I believe. Firstly, because it testified by men who had every opportunity of seeing and knowing, and whose veracity was tested by the most tremendous trials, both of energy and endurance, during long lives. Secondly, because of the marvelous effect it had upon the world. As a moral phenomenon, the spread and mastery of Christianity is without a parallel. I can no more believe that colossal moral effects lasting for 2,000 years can be without a cause than I can believe that the various motions of the magnet are without a cause, though we cannot wholly explain them." Be courageous. Be independent. Only remember where the true courage and independence come from. THE BOURBON NERO.

Those Republicans who are urging free trade with Canada or with other countries can scarcely accept the declaration that protection is a cardinal principle of the Republican party. Protection must protect all alike or it is unfair. Reciprocity that proposes to swap one industry away in order to benefit another is not the reciprocity declared for in the Chicago platform, where it commits the party only to a reciprocity that shall work no injury to American agriculture. American labor or American industry.—Adel (ia.) News. Decreasing Failures In the matter of recent failures there is evidence of our general prosperity, and the fact that our protection is panic proof. The liabilities for the past six months were as follows: January. $18,183,573 April. $13,136,688 February 15,812,553 May .. 9,817,998 March... 13,770,595 June .. 8,469,502 The above shows an improvement every month since January.

Democratic spellbinders should cut out the above figures and paste them in their hats for use this summer. They fit in well with the savings banks statistics and all other general evidences of a substantial prosperity, unaffected by midsummer dullness or the business lull of a campaign year. Vote the Democratic Ticket—if If the country is in favor of free trade and tariff ripping, it is time for the country to go Democratic. If people want the tariff torn up and business paralyzed, they should vote the Democratic ticket. The Dingley law was made to bring prosperity, and it has brought it and maintained it for seven years. Such people as are tired of prosperity should vote the Democratic ticket. That opportunity is always open. Such people as are in favor of a continuance of prosperity should vote the Republican ticket and assist in keeping the Republican platforms right—Des Moines Capital. The Only Way. The Boston Herald says a little reflection has brought the Democracy to realize that not all the protectionists are in the Republican party. This is true. Many a Democrat has seen the efficacy of protection demonstrated time and again until he has come to see that, after all, it is the desirable policy for this country to maintain. Still, the leaders who will control the course of the Democratic party are most of them committed to the very opposite tariff theory, and if we are to have any assurance of maintaining the tariff protective policy, the only way is to keep in power the party that established it as the policy of the government in opposition to the determined resistance of the Democratic leaders.—Shelbyville (Ind.)

THE WEEKLY PANORAMA MRS. FULLER SUDDENLY CALLED Heart Disease Claims Wife of Chief Justice of Supreme Court. Mrs. Mary E. Fuller, wife of Melvile W. Fuller, chief justice of the supreme court of the United States, died unexpectedly while seated on the plaza of "Malnestay," her summer home at Sorrento, Me. While apparently in good health, Mrs. Fuller was stricken with J. Young MRS. JAMY E. FULLER heart disease and expired almost before her daughters, who sat near her, could reach her. Mrs. Fuller was born in Burlington, Iowa, Aug. 19, 1845, her parents being William E. and Jane Brown Coolbaugh, who later moved to Chicago, where Mrs. Fuller passed much of her life. In 1860 she married Melville W. Fuller, who in 1888 was appointed chief justice by President Cleveland. WAR AS CAUSE OF INSANITY. Another Danger That Threatens Soldier in Modern War. Dr. Paul Jacoby, physician in chief to the provincial asylum of Oriel, Russia, urges the necessity of a special army medical service for insanity, to which privation, fatigue, the nervous tensions caused by ever present danger, the frequent mental shocks, alcoholism and wounds predispose the soldier, and especially in remote campaigns where there are no local asylums like that in which Russia is now engaged. Dr. Jacoby served in the Franco-Prussia war and was then impressed with the great number of cases of mental disorder which came under his attention, and his further researches have shown that the malady is common in all wars and demands specialized attention. He compares the sinking of warships by mines and torpedoes to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, which are well known to produce mental disorders, and thinks that these new forms of shock will tend to produce new forms of neurosis and insanity.

High Posts to Americans. Gossip current in the financial district has it that President Diaz of Mexico is attempting to induce prominent American railroad men to cast their lot with the Vera Cruz and other railway lines in which the Mexican government is interested. Current rumor mentions the names of some high-priced operating and traffic officers who have been offered large salaries to go to Mexico. President Diaz has taken an active interest in the management of the Vera Cruz road and has informed American railroad men that he purposes to have the road completed as soon as possible and intends to obtain the best railroad skill and talent he can find available in the United States to help him operate the property.

Friarpoint, Miss., August 22 (Special).—Cured of Bladder and Kidney Trouble after 26 years of suffering. Rev. H. H. Hatch, of this place, is telling the public the good news and shouting the praises of the remedy that cured him—Dodd's Kidney Pills. Rev. Mr. Hatch says:— "I have been suffering from Bladder and Kidney Trouble for 26 years and I have tried everything that people said would do me good. But nothing did me any good except Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I haven't felt a pain since I took Dodd's Kidney Pills. They gave me health and I feel like a new man altogether. Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best I ever had." All Urinary and Bladder Troubles are caused by diseased Kidneys. The natural way to cure them is to cure the kidneys.

E'en if your heart has now forgotten me quite; For I, so far away, must needs believe. Then, in my darkness, I shall see a light. Your love for me—and I shall cease to grieve. —E. H. Sothern in Harper's Weekly. The Plotters and the Devil Wagon Young Johan could see his future spread before him like a smooth white fabric. He did not need to worry over a choice of calling, as so many other young men have to do, or the best way of earning his living. There were no long years of study before him. His comfortable living was growing and ripening in the fields of Holjeryd and mooring from sheer well-being in his father's barn. There would be nothing for him to do but sow and reap at the right times, according to the calendar. Everything he might need was ready and waiting for him, even a wife, whom his father had picked out for him. Adjoining Holieryd was another large property, Runeryd: The owner of it had an only child, a daughter. Now, if Johan and Clara were to be united in marriage, nothing more desirable could be imagined, for then both properties would be in the same hands and the owner would be a man of power. The two old men had agreed that this was to be the future of their children, and Johan and Clara themselves thought the arrangement fit and proper. At the outskirts of Runeryd lived an old soldier by the name of Klang, on a small and stony farm. The old man was a fine looking fellow at the church on Sundays, when he wore his two medals. One of them he had received for skill in marksmanship, and the other for industry in cultivating his farm. One day Johan's mother was taken seriously ill, and it was necessary to hire help. Thus it happened that old man Klang's eldest daughter came to Holjeryd. Minna was a fine girl, but with all her loveliness she was nothing but a poor soldier's daughter. No one felt any anxiety on account of Minna. But Minna had not been in Holjeryd many days before Johan began to follow her with his eyes wherever she went. He thought she was different from Clara—soft and graceful, clear eyed and slender. Wherever Minna stood or sat, Johan thought she fitted her place excellently. He soon began to wish Clara, her property and his own, at the ends of the earth. No freehold in Christendom was worth a small farm with Minna on it. When she had been in Holjeryd a fortnight Johan was over his ears in love with her and she with him. It could no longer be concealed. Even Johan's father understood the state of affairs, but he only laughed. "There is good stuff in the boy," he said, as if proud of his son's success. "I was a woman's man myself in my young days, before I married." Soon, however, there was no more laughing. One day, Johan said to his father: "You will have to break with A Johan was in love with her, the Runeryd people, for I will never marry Clara." The father opened his eyes in amazement. "What is this nonsense? What I have promised I shall do, and no beggar's daughter will have a chance to come between me and my plans. You understand?" But things went from bad to worse. One day Johan declared that he had decided to go to America, and leave parents and home forever, if he could not marry Minna any other way. Then the old man became serious, and understood that something must be done to save the alliance scheme and cure Johan of his lovesickness. Minna would have to go; but the old man realized that the dismissal of the girl would not be sufficient in Johan's case. The evening before she went he took the opportunity to carry out a scheme. While Minna and Johan were out in the garden somewhere, the old man ripped up a piece of the faceting of her Sunday skirt, pushed a fifty crown bill between the lining and the woolen stuff, and carefully sewed the opening together. Minna had been gone several days. The owners of Holjeryd and Runeryd were sitting at the crossroads, the Mazal Rushing toward them with the speed of lightning. Rushing toward them with the speed of lightning. meeting place agreed upon, deep in conversation. "Now we'll soon cure the boy. We'll get the constable to go with us to the Klangs, and make a search among the girl's things. Then, of course, we'll find the fifty crown bill sewed in her dress. The constable will arrest her, and, after that, it would be queer if Johan would have anything to do with her," the owner of Holjeryd declared. "But it seems a shame to blight the "But it seems a shame to blight the girl's future," the other objected. "Stuff and nonsense! Don't you think it will hurt us worse not to be able to unite our children in marriage and leave our properties in one pair of hands? It strikes me that our plan is more important than a whole platoon of beggar girls." "I'm afraid the devil will have us for it. It is a cunning plot, but, after all, it is an act after the heart of Satan himself." The words had hardly been spoken when a strange puffing and rattling was heard further up the road. The old man started up and looked around. An enormous red monster on wheels was rushing toward them with the speed of lightning. In the front seat was a man with big goggles, and when the infernal machine passed the old peasants the man turned to look at them. They thought they saw a pair of glowing eyes behind the glasses. Their nerve collapsed at the sight and they fell on their knees. "It is the devil!" they groaned simultaneously. The monster was already disappearing in the distance in a cloud of dust. How long the plotters remained on their knees at the cross roads no one knows, but there was no more talk of going to the Klangs. Late in the evening Johan's father came tottering home, pale and grave, and asked for a hymn book, in which he read diligently. When he could no longer see to read he sat silent for a while. Then he called Johan. "Hitch up, and drive to the Klangs', and fetch Minna as fast as you can," he said. "What is the matter, father? You aren't going to do her any harm?" "No, I am going to give her to you. It is no use to strive against Providence," muttered the old man, trembling. Since then many an automobile has passed through the village, but, nevertheless, the banns of Johan and Minna were read the next Sunday. The owners of Holjeryd and Runeryd pretend that they have not been fooled. They are probably too proud to let it be known that it was an automobile which frustrated their plans.—New York Sun. --- HOUSE= HOLD TALKS Blouse Waist.

This one is dainty in the extreme and combines Persian lawn with Valenciennes insertion and fagging, but the design is admirable for many other thin materials as well. Lace and embroidery both are used with washable fabrics and all the is dainty in the extreme and combines Persian lawn with Valenciennes insertion and fagging, but the design is admirable for many other thin materials as well. Lace and embroidery both are used with washable fabrics and all the pretty simple silks, so much in vogue, are appropriate, while the yoke can be made of all-over or of the material trimmed in any way that may be preferred. The waist consists of the fitted lining, that can be used or omitted as may be desirable, front, backs and yoke collar with the full sleeves. Both waist and sleeves are tucked in groups for a portion of their length and between these groups the trimming is applied. The yoke is carefully fitted and can be rendered transparent by cutting the lining away beneath. The quantity of material required for the medium size is $3\%$ yards 21 inches wide, $3\%$ yards 27 inches wide or $1\%$ yards 44 inches wide with 8 yards of insertion to make as illustrated. There is every indication that the basque bodice will be the next thing worn. The pointed crush girdles were the first indication, for they certainly gave the blouse waist a basque effect, and their popularity proved that women welcomed the change. Many of the fitted jackets and Etons are practically basques, and in some of the newest gowns the jacket is not meant to be removed, but is worn over a guimpe or tucker of thin material. A very handsome cloth gown with a satin finish was of a soft tan color combined with green. The skirt was plaited all around, the plaits being very full in the back, so that no sheath effect was noted. The jacket was laid in tiny plaits on the shoulder and was full over the bust. It was held tight below that and around the waist by a corselet arrangement of green and tan colored braid touched with gold. Preserved Tomatoes. Weigh ripe tomatoes and allow to every pound of them a pound of granulated sugar. Peel the tomatoes, cover with the sugar and set aside until next day. Drain off the sirup, boil it, and as it boils skim carefully. Lay the tomatoes and simmer for twenty minutes, then with a perforated spoon remove them and spread on platters in the sun while the sirup boils until thick. To seven pounds of the tomatoes allow the juice of three lemons and add this just before taking the sirup from the fire. Pack the tomatoes in jars and fill these to, overflowing with the boiling sirup. Seal immediately. On Summer Costumes. On many of the elaborate summer costumes mousseline de soie flower trimming is used. This adornment is dainty and extremely easy to make. All one has to do is to cut the material on the cross about four inches wide, fold it double and twist round and round to simulate a full-blown rose. Limp stems of different lengths are supplied by thin silk cord. Shirred Walking Skirt The skirt that just clears the ground is a well-deserved favorite and is eminently fashionable in all its variations. The model illustrated is adapted to all materials soft enough to allow of shirring and suits both the costume and the odd skirt. As shown, however, it is made of bleached Shantung pongee with applique of cream adapted to all materials soft enough to allow of shirring and suits both the costume and the odd skirt. As shown, however, it is made of bleached Shantung pongee with applique of cream represe lace. The box platted effect at the lower edge is a special feature and one that is much to be desired, while the shirrings confine the fullness over the hips and produce a yoke effect without undue bulk, inasmuch as fashionable fabrics are all soft. The skirt is circular, cut in one piece, and is arranged over a foundation yoke to which the shirrings are attached. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 9½ yards 21 inches wide, 7½ yards 27 inches wide or 4½ yards 44 inches wide, with 5½ yards of applique to trim as illustrated. Lettuce Cream Soup. The outer leaves of lettuce may be utilized for this excellent soup. Put a generous pint of them over the fire in a pint of weak broth and cook tender. Rub broth and lettuce through a ccelander or vegetable press and return to the fire. Stir into it a boiled onion minced fine, a great spoonful of butter rubbed up with one of flour, and a tablespoonful of finely chopped parsley. Have ready in another saucepan a pint of milk heated and seasoned with white pepper and salt. While the milk is boiling hot stir into it a well-beaten egg. Pour this mixture into the tureen, then the lettuce soup, give a few whirls of your egg beater to combine all, and serve. For a Hot Day. An unusual but refreshing desert for a warm night is composed of sliced bananas, oranges and shredded pineapple. These should be well powdered with soft sugar, thoroughly mixed and kept in the refrigerator all day to become thoroughly chilled. Serve with whipped cream and the result is invariably pleasing. Cross Stitches on Shoes Cross stitch has invaded even the new bathing shoes, and some very attractive sandals seen at the shore are finished in this way. The canvas shoe is, of course, the best subject for the work, and stitchery must be in fast colors. White canvas can have decoration in black or red or blue, blue in white or red, etc. Pretty Pin Cushions Pretty pin cushions are made to hang on the wall. A particularly pleasing device shows a pair of Cinderella slippers, which may be made from kid or silk and stuffed with cotton or bran. For the pins the cover is of silk and on the side devoted to hairpins the cover is crocheted in fine zephyr. Green Stones Popular. The general revival of green color has brought into favor a number of green stones of which little has been heard of late. Many of the prettiest of these are inexpensive. They make lovely chains, pendant brooches and stickpins. Girl's Costume. Frocks that are pretty and simple at the same time are always in demand for young girls and are much to be desired for school and everyday wear. This one includes a deen pointed yoke-collar that is eminently graceful and becoming and is adapted to a variety of materials, but, as illustrated, is made of white lawn with frills of openwork embroidery and yoke of insertion held by fancy braid. The lawn and similar washable fa pointed yoke conat that is eminently graceful and be-coming and is adapted to a variety of materials, but, as illustrated, is made of white lawn with frills of openwork embroidery and yoke of insertion held by fancy braid. The lawn and similar washable fabrics are liked unlined, but when wool is used the fitted body lining is in every way desirable and the frills can be made from the material quite as well as from embroidery whenever liked. The frock consists of waist and skirt. The waist is made with front and backs that are full and arranged over the foundation when that is used, joined to the yoke when it is omitted. The sleeves are full and ample with straight cuffs and the yoke-collar falls well over the sleeves, giving the broad shoulder line of the season. The skirt is five gored, gathered at its upper edge and joined to the waist and the closing is made invisibly at the back. The quantity of material required for the medium size (12 years) is 6 yards 27 inches wide, $5\frac{1}{4}$ yards 32 inches wide or $3\frac{1}{2}$ yards 44 inches wide, with 9 yards of insertion and $8\frac{1}{2}$ yards of embroidery to trim as ill illustrated. Laundering Lace Curtains at Home Laubender Lace Curtains at Home A practical housekeeper says that a clean grass plot is a very good substitute for curtain stretchers. After the curtains are cleansed, pin them to the ground with nonrust hairpins. They will dry in half an hour in the sun to look like new. Curtains of a very delicate fabric, or those tender from long use, should be enclosed in pillow slips to wash successfully without tearing. Picturesque Menu Cards Some picturesque dinner and menu cards for out-of-town dinner-giving take the form of small English hunting prints, after the manner of Caldercott. The deep reds and greens of these cards make a brilliant color touch for the country house table, and the effect, as a whole, is distinctly novel Novelty in Circular. One of the latest novelties is a huge circular cloak of linen in creamy tone similar to those worn by the Arabs. It is draped at the back to form a hood. The hood and front are trimmed with white linen galloon. It makes an admirable evening wrap for summer. Wicker Handles for Parasole. Wicker is a new note in connection with parasols.

AS EASY Needs Only a Little Thinking The food of childhood often decides whether one is to grow up well nourished and healthy or weak and sickly from improper food. It's just as easy to be one as the other provided we get a proper start. A wise physician like the Denver Doctor who knew about food, can accomplish wonders provided the patient is willing to help and will eat only proper food. Speaking of this case the Mother said her little four year old boy was suffering from a peculiar derangement of the stomach, liver and kidneys and his feet became so swollen he couldn't take a step. "We called a Doctor who said at once we must be very careful as to his diet as improper food was the only cause of his sickness. Sugar especially, he forbid. "So the Dr. made up a diet and the principal food he prescribed was Grape-Nuts and the boy, who was very fond of sweet things took the Grape-Nuts readily without adding any sugar. (Dr. explained that the sweet in Grape-Nuts is not at all like cane or beet sugar but is the natural sweet of the grains.) "We saw big improvement inside a few days and now Grape-Nuts are almost his only food and he is once more a healthy, happy, rosy-cheeked youngster with every prospect to grow up into a strong healthy man." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. The sweet of Grape-Nuts is the Nature-sweet known as Post Sugar, not digested in the liver like ordinary sugar, but pre-digested. Feed the youngsters a handful of Grape-Nuts when Nature demands sweet and prompts them to call for sugar. Get the little book "The Road to Wellville" in each pkg. THE RISING SON.

The Republican party seeks to convince the people. The Democratic party seeks to scare them. Is Joseph W. Folk the first reformer of the great state of Missouri, and is he the first man that tried to convict criminals of all kinds? The republicans have been fighting for a principle for thirty-odd years or more, and there is no reason why they should go out of their ranks to find a reformer. Stay at home and don't go a flirting with eagles that have no wings; they may not land you softly; they haven't done so yet. So let every Republican vote his own ticket. Don't all rush at once to the neighborhood of Eighteenth and Woodland and invest in property, simply because the property holders there are frightened out of their homes. Wait awhile and give prices a chance to drop. In union there is strength. Negroes of this city are making another plunge into business enterprises. It is to be hoped that they will profit from past experiences and let not their hard earned dollars get away through loose business methods. Chicago, Ill., Oct. 6, 1900. Mr. William E. Walton, 224 St. Paul St., Baltimore, Md. I received your very kind and courteous letter of the 2nd instant, and am genuinely touched by it. In your letters you speak of the lovers of peace and arbitration, especially in your own church, saying: "We are not non-combatants, and when it comes to maintaining the honor and integrity of the Nation and commanding respect for our loved flag, our people would largely, perhaps as largely as most bodies of Christian workers, respond to their country's call, and would combat as loyally as you could wish any attempt to insult the flag we all so dearly love." Surely, my dear sir, I need hardly say that alike in your love for peace and your desire for arbitration, and also in what you have said in the above quotation, I only heartily agree. A better statement of the proper duty of our citizens could hardly have been made, nor can I too heartily express my respect for all (whether Friends or of other denominations) whose views you thus put forth. The sentence of mine which is complained of, and which was written fifteen years ago, was intended to express my disagreement both with the man who acts on inadequate provocation and of the man who, on adequate provocation, fails to act. It would be untrue to say that I had altered my convictions in the matter, but were I now to re-write the sentence, I should certainly so phrase it that it could not be construed as of fensive to the Society of Friends, a body whose social virtues and civic righteousness justly command universal respect. With assurances of my very high regard and esteem, believe me, Most sincerely yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. P. S.—You are entirely at liberty to make this public in any way you desire. I may send a copy of it to other inquirers. SOUTHERN MOB LAW. SOUTHERN MOB LAW. Within five days three Negroes have been bound at the stake in Georgia for alleged crimes. The cessation of this awful barbarism for the past year or so in the South was only temporary, the old blood-curdling record having been maintained during the past several months. In the cases of Reed and Cato, who were burned on the 16th at Stratessboro, Ga., both were tried in court and sentenced to hang September 9. Though death the sentence meant, whether the lapse of several weeks in the execution or simply an unnatural desire to see and smell the burning of human flesh and witness an awful spectacle, will possibly never be known. The fact that these criminals were burned, after being sentenced to a death penalty for crime, makes the case one of new record and one which gives the legal authorities more power than ever to bring to justice those who too kpart in the burning. They deserve conviction and punishment to the fullest extent of the law of England.

The folly of that handful of negroes calling themselves Lincoln Republicans, in making a spectacle of themselves before the civilized world by even suggesting the nomination on a negro for president, will do much toward making for us a host of enemies among those who are already jealous of the privileges we have. The negro has not learned to govern his home or his church. These things come first. When we have discipline at home and sufficient bank account to permit us to live well upon our income, then may we cast about for a position of honor, that takes thousands of dollars a year to keep it up. Let us busy ourselves in securing good homes, in getting on foot business enterprises where the boys and girls may find employment, in seeking to overcome the malice and spite and envy that so long have divided our efforts and made the best among us little more than the worst. No, the need of the hour—the crying need—is not a negro president, but more negroes that are breadwinners for their families, noble examples of manhood to their sons and protectors of the virtue of wife and daughters. Why Davis Was Nominated. Democratic Voter—How did the convention come to nominate Davis, a man more than 80 years old? Didn't they know his age? Democratic Delegate—Some one referred to him as an "octogenarian," and the boys immediately jumped to the conclusion that he was worth eighty millions. That settled it. ROOSEVELT. Somehow, when we heard of his nomination at the late Republican convention we felt a premonition that at the proper time his election to the chief office of the United States would follow. Be that as it may, our desire is that such will be the case, and that another four years of prosperity will be ours to enjoy. This may sound or read a little premature, but all the same we feel that Theodore Roosevelt, the present incumbent, will most assuredly occupy the exalted seat another term. So far as the colored race is concerned, we feel sure that as a race and American citizens, they will receive justice at his hands. In the past, Roosevelt has been friendly, considerate, and as to the future, we have no fears, but rather an abiding faith. Roosevelt is a literary statesman, a man who thinks and then acts, with the precision of a skilled marksman. In the affairs of state he is "at home," and we believe well qualified to sustain and guide the things on hand to a successful issue. At least it is the aim and ambition of the Rising Son to work faithfully and steadily for the cause and elect good men to positions of honor and trust. NEGROES AT THE WORLD'S FAIR. The negro papers throughout the country are complaining of the treatment negroes get at the fair, and urging all self-respecting negroes to give St. Louis a wide berth. If things are as they say, good will be done. There must be an element of good in anything that will make negroes sticw together and resent insults that are needlessly thrustt upon them. In time they will learn to forsee these unpleasant features and take steps to forestall them, but never can this be done until they love self less and each other more. EDUCATION AT LINCOLN INSTITUTE. President Allen—"Lincoln Institute Idea"—Facilities for Studying, etc. Lincoln institute, on Saturday, August 13, closed its very successful summer school of 1904, and on September 5 the fall term of the regular session begins. President Allen's rare executive ability is making itself felt throughout the entire management of the institution, and at no time in its history has --- there been a higher standard of excellence in the various departments of higher education and of industrial work, as well as in all of those so-called "minor details" of a great school, which, however, in the end, represent so much of real value in the liberal and practical education of youth. With such an excellent school as Lincoln institute within the borders of Missouri, it is no longer necessary for parents to send their young people out of the state in order that they may obtain a well rounded education. And a justifiable pride in home institutions that are second to none, or better, a visit to this school, and a close inspection of the work done there from year to year, will greatly increase the already large attendance, and materially help to develop the "Lincoln institute idea"—an idea which stands, not for industrialism as an end, but for that happy combination of higher education and of the industries, which a careful consideration will prove is best adapted to the development of our youth in this section of country, so closely associated along all lines with the great West and Northwest, with Texas and the Territories, where the already considerable wealth of the Negro, and the wonderful undeveloped resources of the region, make it possible for him to succeed financially and otherwise, if possessed of a trade, and of such a liberal education that he will be able to hold his own in the midst of high-handed competition. These sections send large numbers of students to Lincoln institute, as indicated by the catalogue of 1904-1905, and by catalogues of previous years; and well authenticated reports show that many of these young people thus educated are no wdoing well with various enterprises in their respective localities. In fact, on all sides, reports from Lincoln institute graduates and students are almost invariably of such high character that the institution enthusiastically points to her product as the strongest demonstration of her merit. The regents, president and all officials connected with the institution are highly interested in its welfare, and many important improvements are now in progress. A $10,000 central steam heating plant is well on to completion. Books amounting to $1,000 have been added to the library during the summer, which, with other valuable additions for the work of each department, make it possible to speak in highest terms of the facilities for study, for original research and investigation. Kansas City has for several years sent a goodly number of students to Lincoln institute; a number of progressive teachers attended the summer school, and it is hoped that there will be a steadily increasing number from this city in both the regular session and in the summer school. Deserving young men and women of limited means need not be deprived of an education, as there are many opportunities given in the institution and in the City of Jefferson for working one's way through school; and to the credit of these self-supporting students it may be added that in a number of instances, the students who are leading their classes and are ranking highest in the esteem of their teachers and fellow students are those who reached the institution without a dollar, but with a well-directed purpose. Catalogues giving full information as to price of board, courses of study, etc., can be obtained by addressing President B. F. Allen, Lincoln institute, Jefferson City, Mo., the undersigned, 2122 Tracy avenue, Kansas City, Mo., or other members of the faculty. J. S. YATES. BRANCH HEADQUARTERS HERE. Republicans Recognize Kansas City's Political Importance. Branch headquarters of the Republican state committee will be established in Kansas City. This is the first time either state committee has recognized Kansas City as anything more than a spot on the map, and no formal action has been taken on this subject even now. However, there is an agreement that W. S. Dickey is to be chairman of the executive committee which Chairman Neidringhaus is now selecting. It was also agreed at the St. Louis meeting that if Mr. Dickey chose to establish a headquarters for Western Missouri at Kansas City it would please the candidates and be thoroughly satisfactory to the committee. The headquarters will be in St. Louis as they always have been, but the branch in Kansas City will have supervision of detail work for at least half of the state. The telephone will be used daily to compare information and prevent complications. The Son is glad that Mr. Dickey is to be given this responsible position and that Kansas City is selected as the headquarters. We will then have right under our eyes an example of what a qualified man of integrity can do for his town or city. Sealed Orders Now honor to the fathers who sailed the ship of state, The mighty who were humble, the simple who were great! They fired no noisy salvos, no gaudy banners few, But silent, sober, solemn, they turned them to the blue. When seas were black before them and skies above were black, No hand refused its duty, no eye looked longing back. In stress of tide or tempest, or in the deadly grip Of broadside scraping broadside, they sailed and fought the ship; Nor wasted breath in boasting, when work was there to do They held their peace in patience, the only peace they knew. But peace is hard to conquer, and harder still to hold. When treasure-laden galleons make skulking pirates bold. Alone the fathers voyaged; alone they held their way; But half a world in convoy looks up to us to-day. To guard them with our bulwarks when rovers swarm in force; To guide them to the haven by freedom's chart and course; To share our lot as brothers, till all the world shall know From sea to sea one people—one flag from snow to snow. —Collier's Weekly. THE LOVE-CHASE BY KEBLE HOWARD "There's the church!" cried Monica. "Where?" asked Jack, a little indifferently. "There! Can't you see the spire just peeping through the trees? Put your head out of the window." "No, thank you. I might get a spark or something in my eye." "I am trying. I've been trying ever since we left Baker street. I am bound to admit, however, that up to the present—" "That'll do. If I'd known you were not going to play the game, I—" Jack rose hastily, took off his straw hat, and thrust his head out of the window. "Can you see it?" asked Monica. "No. Oh, yes! Quite reminds one—Damn!" He flung himself back onto the seat and groped in a pocket for his handkerchief. "Don't say it's a spark!" pleaded Monica. "I shall call it something worse than that in a minute." "I'm so sorry. It was my fault. Let me see if I can get it out." She sat down beside him, took the handkerchief, wetted one corner and screwed it into a point. "Now, open your eye. Is it at the top or the bottom?" "I dunno. It's hurting most co-founded, wherever it is." "Poor boy! Try to keep quite still. I oo; down." I am looking down. Don't keep on jabbing me like that." "I'm not jabbing. Jack. It's no use in getting in a temper about it. I'm doing my best." "Better leave it alone and let it come out by itself." "When it may go on hurting you all day. Keep still a moment! I see it!" "Look out!" "Got 'im! It's only a tiny little speck, after all." "You wouldn't think it so tiny if it had been in your eye. I'll bet." "I expect not. Hallo! Here we are!" The train slowed down and stopped with a jerk at a small country station. Jack and Monica alighted. "Very likely. They don't generally keep them at stations like this for five years, you know." Jack's tone was significant. Monica said nothing. They turned the corner rather shy. Migal "Don't keep on jabbing like that." ly and walked through the village as carelessly as might be. "i wonder if any one will remember us!' said Monica. "I didn't know you objected so strongly to being in love." "I don't. I mean, I didn't. No, I don't." They were outside the village now, and a few minutes would bring them to the lane that led to the wood of many memories. Monica stopped, and looked her husband squarely in the face. "Before we go any further," she began, "I should like—" "A drink? We've passed all the pubs." "Don't be vulgar. I should like to know whether you are really serious in undertaking this pilgrimage. You know that I am. You know, Jack, that I want to get back, if only for an hour, to that sacred time when you and I—" She stopped abruptly. Jack had seated himself on the bank and was now dusting his boots with his handkerchief. "Go on," he murmured. "I shan't go on. I shall go back to the station and take the next train to town. I was a fool ever to come. I might have known that a man like you—" "Its no use struggling, said Jack. And he kissed her. Halfway up the lane they came to a cottage. Five years ago they had been wont to take tea at that cottage. The old lady who made the tea was still making it and they stayed there for quite an hour. "Doesn't this remind you?" whispered Monica. "It's the very same blend," said M. M. Yes! Hurrah! Monica had sneezed! Jack, paging into his cup with a sentimental eye. Monica's heart sank. There was nothing left for it but the wood. At the top of the lane they climbed a stile, and followed a narrow, winding path that led between two banks of yellow corn. The sun was setting. Monica was glad of that. Jack, on the other hand, looked at his watch. "There's plenty of time," Monica expostulated. "The evenings are apt to be chilly," said Jack. "Anyhow, you've got to wait until dusk. You promised." "All right, but it's not very sporting to ask favors after dinner." "I won't ask any favors at all in future." They had come to the edge of the wood. Monica paused irresolutely. "Perhaps we are making a mistake after all," she observed. Her eyes were very wide open, for she was looking down a flickering glade that led to a dell. It was in that dell that the primroses used to grow. Incidentally, too, Jack had proposed to her there. "Let's chance it," he suggested, and began to make a way for her through the brambles. They wandered about the wood for rather more than an hour. Here was the curious little knoll that Monica had called her throne; there the ditch that Jack had fallen into because he would look at Monica instead of where he was going. To-day he was picking his way with the utmost care. At last it began to grow dusk. Jack knocked the ashes out of his pipe and buttoned up his coat. Monica, pretending not to notice him, led him to the dell. "Better not climb down," said Jack. "It's sure to be damp." "Never mind. Come on!" She relized him by the hand and dragged him down. "Pretty little spot," said Jack, filling another pipe. "I love it." She paused a moment, and then added, "Do you remember, Jack—?" "Stop! Don't speak to me for a moment!" His mouth was open, his eyes screwed up... He sneezed. You hateful! "cried Monica. "How could I help it? I told you this place was damp." "Don't speak to me! I'll never try—" She stopped short, turned her back on him and whipped out her handkerchief. "Please don't cry," he pleaded. She waved him back. Was it possible that—? Yes! Hurrah! I accepted. Shotah. Trouble Enough. When Philip Verrill Mighels was gathering material for his novel, "Bruvuer Jim's Baby," he ran across an old miner who unconsciously posed for his character If Only Jim. The old man sat sone in his cabin, where the hand of woman had never been known, and dirt reigned triumphant. The conversation turned upon cooking. "Yaas," drawled the old man, "I got me one o' them there cook books wunat, but I never could do nothin' with it." "What was the trouble?" asked Mr. Mighels, persuasively. "Why, every one o' them blamed receipts start off with 'take a clean dish.'"—Denver Republican. NEWS & GOSSIP A. W. Walker, Agent, Lexington, Mo G. H.

Re-union of Twenty-third Kansas Regi ment. When President McKinley issued his call for troops to engage in the Spanish-American war, the negroes of this country willingly offered their lives as a sacrifice to the protection of its honor and good name. From every state Negro troops were enlisted, went to the front as brave and fearless men, and won glory and fame by their valiant and patriotic stand. Among the dauntless Negro soldiery that went to their country's call was the 23rd Kansas Regiment of Colored Volunteers, whose courage and bravery has made it famous throughout the land. Theirs was a short, but exciting campaign; and, after peace had been declared they came home with all the glory of loyal and patriotic soldiers. Since then the 23rd Kansas has kept their organization intact, and have formed the custom of holding an annual reunion. The 5th annual reunion will occur on September 4 and 5, at Stewart's park, corner 9th and Quindaro boulevard, Kansas City, Kan. They have arranged for a series of army attractions, viz: Go into camp on Sept. 4th. Army life in camp. At 2 p. m. contest drill. At 5 p. m. special attraction.

CURL-I-CURE A CORE FOR CURES When you meet a person your first impression is governed largely by his or her appearance. The apt phrase "If you are attractive, beautiful, trim, neat and look fresh and well kept, how much better the first impression will be than if you look like hundreds of others in no individuality — mussed up, and as though you were a child." Nothing adds to or detracts from a lady's or gentleman's appearance so much as the hair. Nothing indicates their character, their genuinity, and their taste, so much as the hair. We know how much detail is taken of the hair by all the leading society ladies in all the large cities. We know how much pride a successful man takes in his per- sonal appearance. Individuality you enjoy no advantages. There is one way and only one way in which you can overcome this great handicap and make your hair as beautiful, rich and attractive as the finest head of hair you have ever wished for. *Curl-I-Cure*, a cure for curls, will do it. It is the perfect hair you have ever heard of or seen.

It has been used by the leading doctors all over the world, every year. It is the formula for hair and scalp defects and always brings perfect results. CURL-I=CURE This is the only preparation that will ABSOLUTELY STRAIGHTEN hair, is harmless and will make the hair grow, giving it a soft and silky appearance. DIRECTIONS FOR USING. Wash the hair with soap and water and let thoroughly dry. Do this only before the first application. Then apply Curl-I-Cure twice a day for a week or ten days, rubbing it into the hair and scalp. Then brush the hair for five or ten minutes with ordinary stiff hair brush. The more you brush the hair the quicker the desired result. After the hair is straightened apply twice a week to keep in perfect condition. Carefully follow above directions and straight hair is absolutely assured. SOUTHERN CHEMICAL WORKS, Room 260, 323 Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. You owe it to yourself, as well as to others who are interested in you, to make yourself as attractive as possible.

There are so many dialects which are entirely different that they seem scarcely to belong to the same tongue. The inhabitants of Mongolia and Thibet can barely understand the dialect of the people in Pekin. Putting Chinese aside, the most spoken languages are as follows, in millions; English, 120; German, 70; Russian, 68; Spanish, 44; Portuguese, 32. Keeping Nervous System Healthy. Keeping Nervous System Healthy. As the nervous system exercises great power on all the functions of the body, it ought to be kept in a healthy condition by regular mental work and judicious occupations. The fear often expressed that steady mental work is likely to wear out the brain too soon is unfounded. The wearing theory is wrong, as well for mental as physical work, both of which may be continued in old age. Churches on Bridges The custom of building churches on bridges was common a hundred years and more ago. Several of these quaint old buildings are still left in Europe, The Chapel of Our Lady still stands on the bridge which spans the Don at Rotterdam. The little chapel was built in the fifteenth century and was restored about a hundred years ago. For several years, however, it has been used as a tobacco shop. Of Interest to Builders Prof. Charles L. Norton of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology says that a great deal more care should be taken in protecting steel work and wrought iron work from corrosion. Concrete is a far better safeguard than stone or terra cotta against fire, he says. The Boston skyscrapers are viewed with suspicion by Prof. Norton. "Pen Stammering." "Pen stammering" is the name given by B. Dertillon of Paris to a difficulty in writing analogous to stammering in speech. Many persons, he says, are incapable of writing even one of the letters of a word as long as any one is looking at them. Hypnotic suggestion, he thinks, will cure this nervous trouble, as well as writer's cramp Education of Indian Girls. In India only about 3 per cent of the girls attend public schools, but the government of India in its educational resolution states that in trying to promote the education of girls a far greater proportional impulse is imparted to the educational and moral tone of the people than by the education of the men. Insects Don't Touch Rice. A remarkable fact connected with the rice plant is its almost entire immunity from the attacks of insects, and from those diseases which infect the cereals and other vegetable growths, as also that it supplies a wholesale diet for one-half the population of the world. *Curl-I-Cure* is an ideal, safe preparation and makes kinky, curly hair.

And other men are trying where I tried To step the billows of Life's rushing If those who knew me best may pause to toss.

At midnight when the clouds are casting silhouetted shadows from the trees, when all is wierd and ghostly in the suburbs, if a lone, lanky, black felline suddenly darts out of the bushes ahead of you and persists in crossing the street, it is a sign that the cat wants to get to the other side of the thoroughfare. ```markdown ``` Here is one of the latest: He—"Why was Eve created?"

The reason of so many failures to cure cases similar to the above is the fact that diseases peculiar to the female sex are not commonly recognized as being caused by catarrh. Catarrh of one organ is exactly the same as catarrh of any other organ. What will cure catarrh of the head will also cure catarrh of the pelvic organs.

He costs the State about nine cents a day and thinks himself well off. Origin of Signing the Cross The cross was used in signing in the beginning of Christianity by all followers of Christ to distinguish them from the pagans, and it was also used as a pledge of the truth of the matter signed. This cross remains to this day in the signature of ecclesiastics, as well as being testimony of the illiterate. Facts vs. Fiction. The poet sat at his desk one day and dashed off a beautiful rhyme of gold and jewels in such a way that it made folks think his time was occupied handling gems so rare; but most of his time was spent in wondering if he'd dine on air—for the poet hadn't a cent.

Unsympathetic in Perfumes. The perfume which delights one person may arouse the deepest dislike in another.

A., wants every woman to know of the wonders accomplished by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I cannot tell you with pen and ink what good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for me, suffering from the ills peculiar to the sex, extreme latitude and that all gone feeling. I would rise from my bed in the morning feeling more tired than when I went to bed, but before I had used two bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, I began to feel the buoyancy of my younger days returning, became regular, could do more work and not feel tired than I had ever been able to do before, so I continued to use it until I was restored to perfect health. It is indeed a boon to sick women and I heartily recommend it. Yours very truly, Mrs. Rosa Adams, 819 12th St., Louisville, Ky. Any women who are troubled with its regular or painful menstruation, weakness, leucorrhea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, general debility, and nervous prostration, should know there is one tried and true remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. No other medicine for women has received such wide-spread and unqualified indorsement. No other medicine has such a record of female cures. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: — I am very pleased to recommend Lydin E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for womb and ovarian difficulties from which I have been a sufferer for years. It was the only medicine which was at all beneficial, and within a week after I started to use it, there was a great change in my feelings and looks. I used it for a little over three months, and at the end of that time I suffered no pain at the menstrual period, nor was I troubled with those distressing pains which compelled me to go to bed, and I have not had a headache since. This is nearly a year ago. I always keep a bottle on hand, and take a few doses every week, for I find that feeling strong, and I never have that t "I certainly think that every work for it would prove its worth.
