The Rising Son

Rising Son It Pays to Advertise in the Rising Son for It Reaches More Homes of Colored Peop.e than any other Paper in the State. VOLUME IX. EVERY MAN WHO EXPECTS TO VOTE AT THE NEXT ELECTION MUST REGISTER! DON'T FORGET THIS! REMEMBER THIS IS GENERAL REGISTRATION. THE DAYS ON WHICH YOU MUST REGISTER ARE OCTOBER 11th, 15th, and 18th. LEXINGTON NEWS Miss Florence Talbott was in Kansas City afew days last week attending the carnival. Mr. John Booker has moved to Kansas City to make that his future home. Messrs. William and Alonzo Gray's sister who lives near Columbia is here visiting her brothers. Miss Sage of Higginsville was here Sunday. Mr. George Hegwood of Liberty was here Sunday visiting his mother and other relatives. Mis Ethel Henderson left Sunday morning for St. Louis. Mr. Wm. Hayden is not much better. Miss Nancy Booker took quite ill Friday night; also Mrs. A. W. Walker is ill with a rising in her head. Dr. Tall has an attack of rheumatism. We hape he will soon be over with it, for we don't see how we can get along without it. Prof. G. H. Green left for St. Louis Friday evening on business. The colored Republicans are requested to meet at St. John's church, Tuesday evening, the 18th. This is the year that colored men should take an interest in politics and vote the straight Republican ticket. They are the only party that promise anything to help the negro. No negro ought to vote the Democratic ticket this year. If there ever was a time that colored men should rally to President Roosevelt and Fairbanks, the Republican standard bearers of the great party, now is the time. We need more Roosevelts. We ought to see that our neighbor svoe the Republican ticket this year. We want six active Republicans that will work for the ticket. Please come out Tuesday and help to select them. We must help ourselves and if we don't help ourselves no one else will help us. Sympathy and pity is something of the past. Don't think because you are colored that some man must pay you to vote. Vote for your own best interest. You owe this to your wives and children. Any negro that loves his family will vote the Republican ticket this fall. Casting a Gloom. "Yes, for local talent, it was a first-rate entertainment," said the suburban resident, "and we made several hundred dollars for the hospital fund, but there was one little hitch. The town undertaker was down for a tenor solo, and he insisted on singing 'I'm Waiting for Thee.'"—New York Sun. Consider Dreams Revelations. Among the people of the east a dream is considered to be a direct revelation from God, and there are, in the Orient, even to-day, soothsayers, or fortune tellers, who interptreams, just as the soothsayers did in bible times, and from dreams tell the future of the dreamer. Large English Families The four prizes annually offered by the Lincolnshire (Eng.) Agricultural society for the largest families have this year produced some remarkable records. Ten men who entered had between them 150 children, one having twenty, another nineteen and others fifteen. True Yankee Woman. "Your wife is somewhat strong-minded, isn't she, Littlejohn?" "Strong-minded! Well, a furniture polish peddler came here yesterday; and in five minutes' talk she sold him some polish she had made herself."—Boston Congregationalist. Wife in Place of Hog. The following anecdote shows how the Fijians treat their wives. A Fijian chief bought a gun from a captain in the navy for which he was to pay two hogs. But try as he would he could manage to get only one hog. This he sent to the captain, and in place of the other hog sent his wife. UP TO THEIR OLD TRICKS The savage determination of the Democratic ward heelers to carry on a wholesale illegal registration in several of the wards last Tuesday resulted in several serious fights. License Inspector Harrison was beaten up so badly that he had to be sent home. If such has happened the first day of registration, what may be expected on the last day? Now is the time for the citizens and business men to assert their rights. GENERAL REGISTRATION We wish to call the attention of every negro voter in Kansas City and the state that this is a general registration, which means that you must register or lose your vote. It does not matter whether you have moved or not, you must register just the same. The place where you should register may be found in the daily papers. THE NEW WAY. No more pulling, laboring, worrying and sweating out your clothing, but in a mechanical way I will teach you the waltz, two-step and schottische in one-fourth the usual time, complete, for $3. Private lessons 50 cents. Regular class every Wednesday evening. Lessons 25 cents. At the Vendome, 1734 Grand avenue. D. A. WILLIS, Mgr. MR. E. C. ELLIS. The Republicans nominated Mr. E. C. Ellis for Congress last Tuesday. Mr. Ellis is one of the ablest attorneys in the West, with a private and public career above reproach. His election will mean much to this state and he merits the solid support of his party and the progressive citizens. BOOSEVELT 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. Where He's Wrong. A man has no right to give his wife away when she boasts before company, considering that she never gives him away by looking surprised when he offers her the rocking chair when company is present.—Atchison Globe. KANSAS CITY MO., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1904. Woman Mountain Climber. Woman Mountain Climber. By far the most expert woman mountainneer in the world is Mrs. Fanny Bullock Workman. In the Himalayas she has climbed to an altitude of 22,568 feet. On the same occasion her husband broke the world's record for men by 311 feet, by climbing 28.194 feet up a mountain 24,479 feet high. Mrs. Workman is of medium height, and there is nothing in her appearance to suggest the strength she has displayed in some of her wonderful feats. University Celebration The University of Freiburg had a grand celebration recently—processions, fireworks, illuminations, addresses, the occasion being the rounding out of the number of students to 2,000. One of the speakers referred to the fact that the number 1,000 was reached in 1885, and he was much apllauded when he pointed at a babe in the arms of a nurse as the future four-thousandth student. Unresisting Victims of Button Trust. Why are there two buttons, or even one, on the sleeves of a coat? The writer took a census of his buttons and found that 60 of them were unnecessary. He is particularly anxious as to the two buttons behind on a frock coat. Taking a survey of the whole human family he finds that there are 800,000,000 buttons worn, all of them useless.—Philadelphia Ledger. Caste Among Ants. In death, as in life, the ants are aristocrats and rigid observers of caste distinctions. For ants have their temeteries, and it is characteristic that the poor aphides and other slaves captured in war are buried, not with their masters, but near the back fence, among the burdocks and ragweeds, the potter's field of the ants' city of the dead. Making It Emphatic. Concerning a certain archdeacon in the English church a tale of modesty is told. He forbade one of his friends to call him "doctor," saying, "If you call me doctor I will do the same for you." "Oh, but you can't," replied the other. "I am not a doctor." "You soon will be," was the answer. "I'll be — if I am." came the retort. Elephants Long for Freedom. In captivity elephants always stand up when they sleep, but when in the jungle, in their own land and home, they lie down. The reason given for the difference between the elephant in captivity and in freedom is that the animal never acquires complete confidence in his keepers, and always longs for liberty. Greater New York's Pay Roll. Some idea of the size of Greater New York may be gained by the statement that there are 40,000 employees on the pay roll. This is a greater number than many South American republics and petty monarchies of the old world carry, including their standing armies. Lightning and Trees. Prof. Assmann, one of the German government meteorological experts, says that lightning seldom strikes in a forest where the trees are dense and of about the same height. Danger exists only where isolated trees rise high above their surroundings. Origin of Lathea Nature, as well as necessity, mothered the invention of the lathe, the first of machine tools. It was built offinally between two adjacent trees near which grew a springy sapling. Lathes like it are used to-day in some of the Asiatic countries. Peculiar Case of Strangulation An engine driver was attending to the machinery at Hay's wharf, Tooley street, London, when the ends of his neckscarf were caught by the shafting and he was drawn up thirteen feet from the floor and strangled. English Paupers Costly. England's expenditure on paupers is rising at the rate of $1,400,000 a year. Take Exercise Daily. The first thing needed to keep the tissues healthy and strong and the various organs in good working order is a certain amount of exercise taken every day. Regularly taken exercise strengthens the heart, thereby causing that great organ to pump the fluide of the body to the remotest corners and thereby improving nutrition and causing all the other organs to do their natural work and to take a delight so to speak, in doing their natural work. Men as Actresses: Japan boasts of several brilliant actors, but, strangely enough, she affords no encouragement to actresses. Women's parts are played by men, and played excellently well, too. Japanese boys who are destined for a stage career are brought up entirely by members of the feminine sex. By the time that they are midway in their teens they have acquired all the usual female characteristics. Sultan's Titles: The sultan of Turkey has seventy-one titles and on the parchment containing them are the words "as many more as may be desired can be added to this number." Among the titles are "Alud Hamid, the Eternally Victorious" "the Eternally Smiling" "the Eternally Invincible" "Distributor of Crowns to the Heroes Seated on the Thrones" and "Shadow of God on Earth." Longevity in Europe Of all European countries France is the most favorable to longevity; for every 1,000 persons forty-four reach the age of seventy. In Norway the number is forty, in Sweden thirty-three. Italy thirty-one, Switzerland thirty, England twenty-seven, Germany twenty-six. Spain twenty-four, Austria twenty-three, Hungary eighteen. Can't Interfere. "Your daughter plays a great deal of classical music in a rather original way," remarked the man with gold glasses. "Yes," answered Mr. Cumrox, regretfully. "She bought the piano and the music out of her own spending money, and I suppose she feels that she has a right to do what she pleases with them." Deer Swifter Than Electric Car A deer was found on the car track at Sturbridge the other day which when startled ran swiftly along the ties ahead of the car. The motorman opened the controller to the last notch, but the animal led the car for a full quarter of a mile and then leaped lightly over the fence and disappeared. Value of Moderate Eating No matter what kind of food is taken, the quantity should be small. The human body can live and thrive and work on a surprisingly small quantity of nourishment. Great moderation in eating is, therefore, one of the keys that unlock the doors of long living. Greatest Misfortune of Life. Mayors appear to have had their troubles two centuries ago. At baiiefeld, Germany, there is a tombstone with this inscription: "Here lies Johannes Burggreve, who considered his election as burgomaster of this city the greatest misfortune of his life." The Day's Length. By a simple rule, the length of the day and night, any time of the year, may be ascertained by doubling the time of the sun's rising, which will give the length of the night; and double the time of setting will give the length of the day. Cold Baths vs. Drunkenness In the course of a discussion at the sanitary congress Mr. Weaver declared that it was almost impossible for anyone taking a cold bath every morning to become an habitual drunkard.—London Telegraph. Ancient War Cartoons. In the museum at Turin are some war cartoons 3,000 years old. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES Among the latest arrivals we note two apparently very worthy young men from Morris Brown College, Atlanta, recommended to this institution by Mrs. Alice D. Carey of the Chair of Literature in Morris Brown. Mrs. Carey, formerly a teacher in the Kansas City schools, visited Lincoln Institute on her return from the National Association of Colored Women, and was so much pleased with the character of everything she saw (and as an educator the scrutiny was carefully made), that she then and there decided upon sending some good students to this institution. The religious bodies of the Y. M. C. and Y. W. C. A., have been reorganized and are starting out for a year of excellent service. Professor Starnes has by request assumed the leadership of the former, and Professor Shackleford that of the institute band, also reorganized. The members of the Athletic Association are in daily practice, and thus the mental, moral, and physical, welfare of the student receives careful attention. Rev. George Shaffer, wife and daughter, visited the institution this week, en route to Indianapolis, their new field of labor. Dr. Shaffer's address to the Faculty and students as NEGRO ODD FELLOWS TO BUILD. The Odd Fellows Building association of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, composed of representatives of the various lodges of this city, have long since seen the necessity for providing suitable accommodations for the increasing membership of the order, having secured an in a desirable neighborhood and only lack sufficient funds with which to close the deal, before the commencement of the erection of a three-story edifice, which will not only be beneficial to the order in general, but to the community at large. With that aim in view they have secured the great Convention hall for a grand entertainment to be given Friday evening, November 11. The present plan for the building includes a large entertainment hall that will cover the entire second floor and owing to the great and increasing demand among our people of this city for suitable halls, and the almost insurmountable difficulties with which the Negro is confronted upon almost every occasion in securing a desirable hall, this feature alone ought to commend itself, not only to the fraternity, but to every race-loving Negro of Kansas City and the adjacent towns. Every Negro man, woman and child who is looking forward to the interest and advancement of the race is cordially invited to be present and help to make this the social event of the season and one long to be remembered by the Negroes of our city. J. McHenry Jones, president of the State Normal college Va, of Institute W. Va., national grand master of the order in America and its jurisdiction (which composes our latest possessions), and Edw. H. Morris of Chicago, exgrand master of the order, have been invited and are expected to be present. The address of welcome will be delivered by Elj Harris, exgrand master of Missouri; the response, by Geo. E. Temple of St. Louis, Mo., deputy grand master of the order. The program includes exhibition NUMBER 28. sembled in the Auditorium was full of inspiring thought. The subject, "Balance, Evolution, or Degradation, Which?" was treated in a manner calculated to force its way home to the simplest, as well as to the most erudite mind. Leslie Clarke, alumnus of '03, was another visitor of the week. Clarke reported his success as a campaign lecturer, and was heartily welcomed at his alma mater. The Departments of Vocal and Instrumental Music have many pupils and this is the more remarkable as music is an elective, and instrumental music an "extra." All of these things help to indicate the financial advancement and general unfit of the race. Dr. Allen is receiving many calls for public addresses. He will respond in as many cases as practical and thus goes to Clayton this week, to Kansas City, Memphis, and other points, in the near future. The Sunday afternoon discourse by Dr. Allen, "The education which Lincoln Institute ought to give and what that education ought to do for those who get it," was well attended and highly appreciated. The school or college, the church, the state, of society, were discussed as elements in the education of many special emphasis being placed upon the value of the college in national life. J. S. YATES. Steals Little Boys' Shoes. An English thief was arrested whose method was to induce little boys to take off their shoes in order to run a race, and leave him in charge of the shoes. When they returned, breathless, he and the shoes were gone. drills by patriarchs from St. Louis, Mo., Topeka, Kan., and Kansas City, Mo. The sisters, representing the various Households of Ruth, the Ladies' Auxiliary to the organization will furnish the refreshments. General admission will be $1. Children 50 cents. Box seats 25 cents. The locations of place of sale of which will be announced later. The Metropolitan band and orchestra combined, under the directorship of Prof. Jno. D. West, will discourse sweet music during the evening. For further information address Edw. S. Lewis, chairman committee of arrangements, 412 East Sixth. W E. Randolph, secretary, 1031 Highland The Element of Genius. While it is true, as Carlyle said, that genius is capacity for taking innate pain, it is also true that no amount of labor can supply the missing element of genius. A man who lacks the vital spark at his birth might as well accept the place where nature has assigned him. It is not for him to be great. Handle Huge Sums. At the recent semiannual meeting in London of the Great Eastern railway it was reported that during the preceding half year a sum of £3,197,000, much of it in silver and copper, passed through the hands of the secretary and his assistants, and out of that huge sum only sixpence was lost. Beggars in Spain. There are 190,227 professional beggars in Spain, of whom 51,948 are women. In some of the cities beggars are licensed to carry on their trade. Seeking alms is recognized as a legitimate business, and the municipality demands a percentage upon the collections. Seville is the only city in the kingdom which forbids begging in the streets. Gum Made of Cassava Starch. Religious Thought The Manuscript of God, The Word of God in printed phrase is read by men in divers ways— We speak, we doubt, and some forget that printed text is backward set. But when the Print is hard to read, but dust or more or less of creed, the manuscript of God remains withance in waves and woods and lines. And there we find the clearer clear; We lift our eyes, the hills are near; in rainbow tints, between the lines. We read it where the Promise shines! —Worstman Gazette. Life is but a Dream. The world must be more to us than a place of temporary amusement on soaring. The splendors with which it is decided and which we have the ability to admire, the wisdom with which it is animated and the eloquence with which it sparkles, which we have a desire to understand, recommend it is a sphere of infinite possibilities. What a message is born by the glittering star that draws our attention to the upper regions where the miracle of day is wrought and the mystery of night is woven! What a lesson is taught by the ocean, restless and roaring, yet yielding to the law of obedience, as well as by the rain-drop that comes down like a tear of sympathy and the assurance of a blessing! How much thought may be gathered from the blooming field, wearing the smile of successful toll, as well as from the dreary desert, sadly emblematic of a life without virtue! How instructive and inspiring are all these phenomena in the factory and creation of God! Yet it is not seldom that we lose sight of the world around us and question the reality of all existence. Scepticism is epidemic. It seems shallow and indulgent that we should ever come under its influence. What nonsense, we say, to doubt facts and to dispute our own existence! Yet that is the philosophy we are likely to espouse when things go against us. Has never a feeling come over you of your utter inability to understand yourself, a feeling of dimmed consciousness, a feeling that made the universe appear like a mass of delusions? How singularly things shape them when we think of how much of our aspirations, endeavors and expectations remains an unrealizable fact and how much of what we cherish and tangle leaves nothing more behind than a sad recollection! It is not in the shadow of such reflections that we are wont to say, "Life is but a dream?" We mean by it that there is nothing reliable in this world, "Life is a dream" implies all that scepticism designates. It is the theory of doubt in a nutshell, the quintessence of the sceptic philosophy. With most of us scepticism is a passing malady. It comes and goes. But when it becomes chronic we are poor indeed. The Bible recognizes the power and acuteness of scepticism and makes provision against it. The Book of Job and that of Ecclesiastes are calculated to counteract this evil, to which there is a proneness in human nature. The leading thought is in both the same, namely, "fear of the Lord, that is wisdom," that is, fear of or, what is the same, faith in. God must be the supreme fact of our existence. Scepticism as a rule finds an open door where worship of God is made subservient to our worldly purposes. People who uphold religion for the sake of obtaining valuable returns in this world will lose faith in God when their expectations do not blossom into actual gratification. Quite different it is when we place religion and spirituality above our temporal interests. What if worldly treasures are at our command? We will regard them as gifts of God and will cheerfully invite our fellow men to share with us, more or less, those benefits and advantages. And what if misfortunes and disappointments overshadow our path? We will soon rise above them and find comfort in the belief that in the management and economy of kind Providence all work for the accomplishment of a good end. Yes, indeed, let us appreciate fear of, or, what is the same, faith in, God as the supremacy of wisdom, and we are masters of conditions and remain firm and unembarrassed amid all the varied scenes and experiences of our limited pilgrimage.—Rev. G. Taubenhaus. Scatter Flowers as You Go. There is no law by which a man, any more than a rose, can withhold and yet receive. He must give first, and give generously, broadly, magnanimously, if he would develop a magnificent character, if he would accumulate soul wealth. Give or starve! This is nature's flat. Give of your sympathy, of your money, of your encouragement, of yourself, or starve mentally, morally. The man who refuses to give, to share what he has received, as as foolish as the farmer who was so wrought upon by the conviction of a coming season of drought and the probable destruction of crops that he refused to plant his corn. He said that he would keep it in the crib, that he would not risk putting it into the ground, lest it might rot and he left without provisions for the winter. The drought did not come, however, and the result was that he went hungry, while his neighbors who had planted generously reaped an abundant harvest. A great philanthropist said that he had saved only what he had given away, that the rest of his fortune seemed lost. What we give away has a wonderful power of doubling and quadrupling itself on the return bound. It is the greatest investment in the world. It comes back in geometrical progression. Give! Give! Give! It is the only way to keep from drying up from becoming like a sucked orange—juiceless, insipid. Selfishness is self-destruction. The man who never helps anybody, who tightly shuts his purse when there is a request to give, who says that all he can do is to attend to his own affairs, who never gives a thought to his neighbor, who hugs all his resources to himself, who wants to go all and give nothing in return, is the man who shrivels and drives up like the rosebud, who becomes small and mean and contemptible. We all know those poor dwarfed sons who never give, who close the petals of their helpfulness, withhold the fragrance of their love and sympathy, and in the end lose all they tried to hoard for themselves. They are cold, lifeless, apathetic; all their sympathies have dried up; they cannot enter into the joys and sorrows, the higher and nobler emotions of human life. Their souls have been frozen by selfishness and greed. They have become so narrow and stingy that they fear to give a kind word or smile best they may rob themselves of something. They have rendered themselves incapable of radiating sunshine or happiness, and, by the working of an immutable law, they receive none. A strong man, watching one who was delicate and undeveloped exercising in a gymnasium said to him: "My dear man, how foolish you are to waste your energy on those parallel bars and dumb bells. You are weak physically and ought to save what strength you have for your day's work. You cannot afford to squander your vitality that way." "Oh, but my good sir," replied the other, "you don't see the philosophy underlying this exercise. The only way I can increase my power is 'by first giving out what I have, I give my strength to this apparatus, but it returns what I give it with compound interest. My muscles grow by giving it out in effort, in exercise."—O. S. Marden, in Success. Fruits of Love. Love is an energy rather than a satisfaction. He who rests content merely in receiving affection from God or man, has never learned the secret. To love another is to give one's self, So God loves. So our parents loved us and taught us in return to love. So friendship seeks expression in a joyful service. How do we know that we love God? Because that love affects our choices and brings our will into conformity with His will. To keep God's commandments is at once a test and an opportunity such as true love craves. God is our Father and has made rules for His house. We are able, therefore, to show affection by obedience. There may be a thousand motives to the choice of right in place of wrong, but which of them is strong enough to hold and guide us in the hour of overwhelming temptation, when the motive of love's sacrifice has failed? One fruit of love is safety through obedience. To give God the supreme affection of our hearts is to be armed against temptation. The soul is preoccupied—there is no room for entrance to the lesser and betraying motive. The passion of service to God becomes the overmastering passion, to which the whole life adjusts itself. Let God take full possession and He will keep it. Service to God becomes an expression both of His love and of ours when for His sake we help or cheer or bear in patience with our fellowmen. Close on the heels of the first great commandment follows the second: "Thou shall love thy neighbor as thy self." God is not withdrawn from common life or out of reach for service. We may bring Him kindness in the least we offer to the brethren of His Christ. The Making of Character The order of the world is moral in every fiber. Men may do what they please within certain limits, and because they do what they please society seems to be in a state of moral chaos, but every word and deed reacts instantly on the man, and this reaction is so inevitable that since time began not not violation of any law of life has ever escaped the penalty. He has paid the price of his word or his deed on the instant in its reaction upon his character. God does not punish men. They punish themselves in their own natures and in the work of their hands.—Hamilton Wright Mable. Peace of Mind Men feel and know that pain is a fact, although it is unseen. They need to learn that peace of mind is a fact, and comes by a well ordered soul; that reverence is a fact, and brings us near to God; that elevated sentiment is a fact, and raises us into a higher society than earth; that sober faith is a fact, and gilds the horizon of our being with a heavenly glory.—Starr King Looking Up. Every real and searching effort at self-improvement is of itself a lesson of profound humility. For we cannot move a step without learning and feeling the waywardness, the weakness, the vacillation of our movements or without desiring to be set upon the Rock that is higher than ourselves.--Wm.

Daguerre, the co-inventor with M. Niepce in the art of photography, came to London to patent the invention which bears his name, and paid an early visit to the present Lord Aveybury's father. The enthusiastic Frenchman was soon explaining the details of his new discovery. Young John Lubbock, as he then was, was playing in the garden, and M. Daguerre, pointing to him, asked to be allowed to give a practical illustration of the art. The request was, of course, granted, and a successful result followed. First New York Central Pensioner. The privilege of being the first pensioner of the New York Central railroad under the new pension system has fallen to Samuel Lane of Poughkeepsie. Mr. Lane has the unusual record of never having had but one employer. He has been in the service of the New York Central for nitythree years, has never cost the company a cent by reason of neglect or carelessness and has never figured in an accident. He is now 71 years of age, hale and vigorous. He will receive $20 a month from the railroad company as long as he lives. Balloonist in Hard Luck. Joseph La Roux, a balloonist who makes ascensions at county fairs, had rather a hard streak of luck the other day near Trenton, N. J. In alighting he got tangled up with the lightning rod on a farmer's barn. The bucolic citizen made him pay $5 for the damage done. Then, when he attempted to reenter the fair grounds in his balloon costume a guard put him under arrest. This was too much, and Mr. La Roux resisted the officer, which indiscretion resulted in his being held in $200 bail to await grand jury action. Mysterious Hospital Visitor "The flower lady" is an interesting and so far mysterious visitor who frequently brightens the lives of patients in the Hahnemann hospital, Philadelphia. Every visiting day she arrives in an automobile with a quantity of flowers, which she distributes among the sufferers. When anyone asks her name she merely laughs and says: "I was once in a hospital for a long time. A good woman brought flowers to me and made me very happy. I made up my mind that I would do the same some day." From the New York Herald. The officials at the Brooklyn navy yard are exerting every effort to narrow down the number of employees who by reason of their work had access to that portion of the hull of the Connecticut that was punctured to the individual who committed the deed. "The men now all know that the suspect is within their ranks, for there has been no one discharged since the perpetration of the outrage," Naval Constructor Baxter said. "I fully expect that they will ferret him out, for their indignation is high, and every man's actions are watched by the others in the gang in which he is employed." The above picture is a reproduction of the drawings made of the obstructing bolt which threatened to wreck the battleship at her launching, the bored rivets and the damage to the bottom of the ship. Secret service men are plentiful in the yard, and every new face seen gazing upon the battleship as she lies at the end of the dock is believed to belong to a detective, according to the men. Not a person approaches the Connecticut who is not carefully scrutinized by the guard, as well as by persons who are in the garb of workmen. A powerful searchlight has been set at a point half way up the mainmast of the ship, and its beams cover the waters about the battleship. Besides this, launches with armed marines are performing picket duty near the ship. Every precaution is being taken to properly guard the ship.

The signs dangling from his person were done in most artistic fashion and called attention to the excellence of a new brand of cigars. Following close behind him came a smartly dressed colored boy who acted as his valet both master and man conducting themselves with the greatest gravity and decorum. The parade continued for a couple of hours, when an auto picked the pair up and whirled them down a side street. President Eliot's Good Advice President Elliot's Good Advice. In addressing the freshman class of Harvard, President Elliot impressed upon his hearers that they must be and do everything that a true Harvard man ought to be and do—must be democratic gentlemen. "A gentleman," he said, "must also be quiet. If a man is heard bawling about the college yard one can feel perfectly sure that he is either an outsider or a newcomer. He must never do anything that will hurt a woman or a child or an inferior. He must be generous, efficient, deferential to age, beauty, excellence, skill and all worthy things." Sixty-four Years a Lawyer While arguing a case in the State supreme court at Helena, Mont., the other day ex-Gov. P. H. Leslie casually mentioned that he had just entered upon the sixty-fourth year of his practice as a lawyer. The man who has been governor of two commonwealths, once United States district attorney, and has filled many other positions of trust, in his eight-fifth year seemed to be as alert and active as many a lawyer far younger. Mr. Leslie was governor of Kentucky long before President Cleveland made him territorial governor of Montana. "Father of Baseball" Still Vid "Father of Baseball" Still Vigorous. Henry W. Chadwick, the "father of baseball," is still in the front ranks of those actively employed in newspaper pursuits. While over 80 years of age, Mr. Chadwick conducts a syndicate of chess, whist, cricket and baseball specials, and his articles on these subjects are as vigorous to-day as they were forty years ago or more. The old gentleman is hale and hearty and attributes his good health and longevity to a life free from tobacco and stimulants and with plenty of outdoor exercise. WITH THE WORLD'S BEST WRITERS THE VALUE OF SAYING "NO." "No" is characterized as "a monosyllable the easiest learned by a child, but the most difficult to practice by the man." Dr. Johnson displays a world of wisdom in these few simple lines, and the saying is no less true in regard to women than it is to men. It seems cold and heartless to a man to refuse to lend a friend a little money to tide over some anxious time, and yet it is a great question as to whether he is justified in doing so if he himself is forced to make some of his own creditors wait while his money is fulfilling a friend's need. In domestic life a woman has also much call for the little monosyllable "No." She may dislike to disappoint her children in some matters, but knows in her heart of hearts that the granted favor would be bad for their health or future happiness. Yet how few mothers do say "No" under such circumstances! And they excuse themselves by saying it is bad for children to be thwarted! So it is, but if the said children were brought up to know that their mother had always a good reason for her decision and was not to be cajoled out of that decision, the mother would save a great deal of annoyance both to herself and to others thrown in contact with her offspring.—Philadelphia Ledger. THE WEST LENDING MONEY. It has not been very many years since the great and growing West was largely dependent on the money centers of the far East for the greater part of the money needed in all lines of business. Funds required for about everything from crop moving to county courthouses had to be secured from Wall street or some of its adjacent branches and the charges for this money in the aggregate made quite a drain on our traffic profits. This dependence on the East had a tendency to bellittle the importance of the West in the eyes of the Manhattan money kings and the possibility of a release from this commercial bondage to them received but scant consideration. It is now being forced upon them with unmistakable clearness. Not only has the West developed a financial power that renders her almost wholly independent of the East, but western capital is actually invading the domain of Wall street and picking up financial bargains which, by virtue of years of monopoly, that great money power had come to regard as exclusively its own—Portland Oregonian. UNPROFITABLE HOARDING. Money hoarded means interest lost. The old stocking is as undesirable for the keeping of money as the unsound bank. This is a financial turism. It is equally true of goods and chattels. The gown of winter before last, stored in a capacious attic, gathers moths, but loses its rightful interest—the comfort and ease which it might bring to some poor woman. The worn overcoat, kept by its owner "in case of need," fails of its proper service in the actual "case of need" of the half-clothed laboring man out of work through illness. So of the cast-off clothes of the mind — discarded magazines and books. The increasing piles of these waste interest on the top shelves of the well-filled library, while the active minds of men, women and children less well supplied hunger for the food of the printed page, until ungratified desire dies, and they sink to the level of the unreading mass. Whatever has service in it should be passed on promptly from hand to hand until that power of service is exhausted. The rubbish heap is more creditable than an unused accumulation of useful things. Hoarding is bad economy in every department of life. Losing interest on savings is foolish improvidence, whether the interest is reckoned in dollars and cents or in gratitude, relief and comfort.—Youth's Companion. HOW TO STAY YOUNG. How old are you? The adage says that women are as old as they look and men as old as they feel. That's wrong. A man and woman are as old as they take themselves to be. Growing old is largely a habit of the mind. "As a man thinketh in his heart so is he." If he begins shortly after middle age to imagine himself growing old he will be old. To keep one's self from decrepitude is somewhat a matter of will power. The fates are kind to the man who hangs on to life with both hands. He who lets go will go. Death is slow only to tackle the tenacious. Ponce de Leon searched in the wrong place for the fountain of youth. It is in one's self. One must keep one's self young inside. So that while "the outer man periseth the inner man is renewed day by day." When the human mind ceases to exert itself, when there is no longer an active interest in the affairs of this life, when the human stops reading and thinking and doing, the man, like a blasted tree, begins to die at the top. You are as old as you think you are. Keep the harness on. Your job is not done—Milwaukee Journal. THE POWER OF "DIXIE." No other song has ever touched the hearts of all the people of this land as "Dixie" touches them. During the war "John Brown's Body" swept the heart strings of the north and their brave "boys in blue." The war has passed and the song is passing, is already much of a memory. But "Dixie" is more vibrant with life to-day than it was when it cheered the lean and hungry legions that were battling for the "lost cause." It has not only survived the war, but since then it has conquered the conquerors and echoes in the hearts of those that loved the blue as in the hearts of those that loved the gray. It has the magic of the "Marseillaise" in it. But it is without its clarion call that excites the red blood of strife. It is gay, sweet, serene, indefatigable. It may not be great music, but it has the quality of all that counts in this world—survival—and it is one of those ballads of a nation that the very wise man reckoned as more powerful than laws.—Indianapolis News. NO PLACE FOR SHIRKER Then it bluntly follows that there is no religion at all in shirk and no salvation for the shirker. There must be a new vision of honest labor, as the hopefulest sign of manhood. To cut down our work to a minimum is the new sin of the twentieth century. To hinder a man or a woman from earning daily bread violates not so much civil law, as the Golden Rule. We have got a huge lie imbedded in our modern view of labor. It is something to be avoided, something to be legislated out as far as possible. The new religion will demand more work rather than less, but a fair division of its obligations—and afterward justice in distribution. The sooner we turn our faces away from the dogmas of medineval pietism and the crotchets of formalism the better for us.—Church Register. THE FOLLY OF GILT LACE. As I have often said, I wonder that monarchs cannot officially meet without each arraying himself in the uniform of the other. If I were to call on a Turk I should not put on a fez and expect him to cover his head with a hat. Why, indeed, monarchs should wear uniforms except when taking part at reviews I do not know. They are the heads of states which are composed of civilians who pay a certain number of persons to be soldiers, or who oblige all to serve as soldiers for a fixed period. Why, too, an English citizen who is asked to attend the Levee of his Sovereign—supposing that he has no uniform, as is the case with many—should be called upon to array himself in the dress of a bygone age of velvet and frills, with a sword by his side, is also a thing that surpasses my understanding. The poor man manages to look as ridiculous as some stout civilian deputy-leutenant strapped up in the uniform of a colonel.—London Truth. BEAUTY ON THE DOWN GRADE. A warning note is struck by a lady, who has both medical and literary skill, against the reckless disregard of those laws which make for beauty. We English are growing plainer, she avers, simply because we allow even our children to be affected by the stress and strain of modern life. The smartness, the ability to look after themselves and the athleticism of the women and children of the present time spell physical ruin. Beauty is rarely seen nowadays in its unadorned style. Lovely women are artificial products, and really lovely children are as scarce as auks' eggs. The reason is that our expressions have grown anxious, eager, cold, our limbs and members are strained out of shape by overexercise, our complexions and hair are starved for lack of nerve force. The exquisite complexions, luxuriant locks, delicate features and clear, innocent-looking eyes that one associates with beauty are so seldom seen as to be quite remarkable when they are, and we are threatened with a still further decrease of these elements of good looks unless we bring back our girls to the prunes and prisms style of bringing, which perhaps after all is the best for them. The "larger life" certainly has its drawbacks—London World. WHY NOT ENDOW MEN? We venture to assert that if our men of great wealth and philanthropic motives who have lately been giving so generously and largely of their accumulations to the endowment of colleges, hospitals, libraries and other worthy objects and institutions should turn some part of this volume of benefice into the endowment of men, they might be contributing even more largely in some instances to the progress of the world and the happiness and well-being of their fellows. We mean by this the selection of men of character, experience and proved ability and their assignment to some line of needed educational, charitable or reform work, with a fair and just salary allowance guaranteed for a reasonable number of years, if not for life.-Leslie's Weekly.

Pongees and raw silks are popular fabrics, A model of dark ‘Dlue pongee, with a raised stripe run- ning through it, has a skirt with very little goring, and it 1s tucked horizon- tally all the way around the hip, hav- ing a box plait down the center of the front and back. These tucks are stitched about six or eight inches in depth and then allowed to flare with four deep tucks running vertically round the bottom, each of these tucks headed by half-inch wide row of entre doux. The skirt 1s cut straight around, and the bodice, which ts tucked in halfinch tucks, blouses slightly over the belt.

In the case of the model the trimming is embroidery, but here again a choice is allowed as washable laces are much liked and frills of the material also are in vogue. The garment ts made with front, backs, side backs, under arm gores and back portion of skirt. The front is fitted by means of double darts, so making the garment absolutely smooth fitting and the necessary full- ness at the back is provided by the skirt, which is gathered at its upper edge and joined to the body portion. ‘The quantity of material required for the medium size is 3 yards 36 inches wide, with 3% yards of wide embroidery, 3 yards of narrow, 2% yards of insertion and 2 yards of beading to trim as illustrated. ‘esos Pitan A decided novelty in the way of trimming for some of the new nun’s velling waists are the turn-over collar and cuffs made of soft leather. An example of this is a pale-blue waist trimmed with collar and cuffs of soit tan leather, in shape somewhat similar to the embroidered and lace collar and cuff sets so much in demand during the spring and summer season. Leather trimmings are being used to ‘some extent on the new tailored sults and raincoats, so that this novelty may meet with quite as much of a success as a waist trimming as in the other Mines of ready-made garments.

Those most in vogue for carly autumn weather are of coarse lace; any lace like Cluny, Bruge or point Venise s in favor. The capes vary in length. Sometimes they fall just to the shoulders, others reach to the bust line, and still others touch the waist. In ecru or dyed to match the color of the gown they will be the most fashionable during the early fall. The smart girl is sure to contrive many novel ways of adding to the charm of her cape. She may fasten it down the front with big. artistic-looking buttons, or it may have the effect of being tled together vith many smart-looking little black satin bows. If she wishes to morc decidedly change its effect, she will slip satin messaline or velvet ribbon: through the meshes of the lace al either aide of the front.

He Meets the Democrats on Their Own Ground and Challenges Them on the Issue Between Free Trade and the Republican Policy of Pro- tection, In President Roosevelt's letter of acce* ‘ance the subject of the tariff is given great prominence. To its dis- cussion considerably more space 1s devoted than to any other topic treated in the very lengthy letter. Rightly considering that the tariff is che chief issue in this campaign, the President has undertaken to convince the American people that the party of protection is the only party to which tariff legislation can safely be trusted. He will succeed, we feel sure. Never before has Mr. Roose: velt spoken or written so wisely and 80 convincingly on the tariff question. Ke recognizes that no tariff schedules «an remain forever, and that modifl- cations must come to fit new exi- Bencies: “But the genuine underlying. prin- ciple of protection, as it has been em- bodied in all but one of the American tariff laws for the last forty years, has worked out results so benificent, so evenly and widely spread, so ad- vantageous alike to farmers and capi- talists and workingmen, to commerce ‘and trade of every kind, that the American people, if they show their usual practical business sense, will Insist that when these laws are, modl- fled they shall be modified with the utmost care and conservatism, and by the friends and not the enemies of the protective system. They cannot afford to trust the modification to those who treat protection and rob- bery as synonymous terms.” Right here is the central fact of the situation. The Democratic party de- nounces protection as a crime, and yet asks to be empowered to revise the tariff! On this point Mr. Roose- velt says: “Of course, {f our opponents are not sincere in their proposal to abolish the system of a protective tariff there 1s no use in arguing the matter at all, aave by pointing out again that if on one great issue they do not mean what they say, it is hardly safe to trust them on any other issue. But if they are sincere In this matter, then their advent to power would mean do: mestic misfortune and misery as wide: spread and farreaching as that which we saw ten years ago, When they speak of protection as ‘robbery,’ they ‘of course must mean that it ts im- ‘moral to enact a tariff designed (as Js the present protective tari) to se- ‘cure to the American wage worker the benefit of the high standard of liv- ing which we desire to see kept up in ‘this country. Now, to speak of the turf in this sense as a ‘robbery,” thereby giving it-a moral relation, i8 hot merely rhetorieal; it 1s on its face alse. ‘The question of what tari ts vest for our people is primarily one Mt expediency, to be determined not n abstract academic grounds, but in he Hight of experience.

Not only the promise of be: ina destructive only a little at a time, “inti the country gets used to the Hstructive process; nor the curious schoolboy plea that they can't be as oad as they would like :o be, because sho Senate won't let them—nothing ‘ton obscure the intention to destroy ‘protection. For, says the President: “It protection {8 indeed ‘robbery,’ and if our opponents really believe what they say, then It is precisely to the destruction and uprooting of the ‘ariff, and therefore of our business ind industry, that they are pledged, Vhen our opponents jast obtained ‘ower It was on a platform declaring & protective tariff ‘unconstitutional,’ and the effort to put this declaration into practice was one of the causes of the general national prostration lasting from 1893 to 1897. If a pro tective tariff fs either ‘unconstitution: al’ or ‘robbery,’ then it is just as un constitutional, just as much robbery, to revise it down, still leaving it pro tective, as it would be to enact it. In other words, our opponents have com mitted themselves to the destruction of the protective principle in the tar. iff, using words which, if honestly used, forbid them from permitting this principle to obtain in even the small est degree,” With the trained eye of an expe. Henced observer of economic cause and effect, the President discovers and points ont the successful workings of the protective tariff in the past forty: four years; how {ts benefits have been distributed among farmers, wage carn. ers, manufacturers and all classes of the community; how the farmer has prospered immensely from the advan. tage of having a vig consuming mar ket at his door, ready to take aud pay good prices for his farm products, tn stead of being compelled to ship to foreign markets at lower prices. Wel employed and well paid artisans have good appetites, and the farmer has ample reason to be thankful that he caters to the most liberal consumers that the world knows, ‘One expression In the letter of ac ceptance should command careful at tention, Says the President: It is a matter of rogret that the | protective tari policy, which, during ‘the last forty odd years, has become part of the very fiber of the country is not now accepted as definitely es tablished. Surely we have a right te say that it has passed beyond the do main of theory, and a right to expect that not only its original advocates, but thoso who at one time distrusted it on theoretic grounds, should now acquiesce in the results that have been proved over and over again by actual experience. These forty odd years have been the most prosperous years this nation has ever seen; more prosperous years than any other na Hon has ever seen. Beyond question this prosperity could not have come ‘if the American people had not pos sessed the necessary thrift, energy and business intelligence to turn thet vast material resources ty account But it ts no less true that it is our eco. nomic policy as regards the tariff and finance which hax enabled us 4s a na tion fo make such good uses of the in dividual capacities of our eitizens and the natural resources of our coun try.” No more important recommensatior than this has ever been submitted te tho Judgment of the American people That the question of protection to do mestic labor and industry. should be settled finally and permanently as a fixed principle is of vital consequence to all Jabor, all industry, all business ‘Then, indeed, could the tariff be taken out of politics.

Cruel: ty in Russia leaves us at least the refige of belief that it may end with the ignorance of the people and the false system of government, The Georia disgrace is without one re: deeming ray of light. It reminds us of that terrible story of Booker Wasb- ington’s, which we have told before, of the fair-haired litle gfrl wno seid, “Mother, I have seen a negro hanged. Now I want to see one burned.” The protographer was present here to give the last touch of grotesque Rorror to the tragic satire. It was undiluted hatred and love of @iminal excite: ment. To compare it with the Spanish Inquisition would be unjust, for the Inquisition at least sought an object, The trial of the negroes had been prompt and their day ot execuuon was near. The brother of the murdered man begged the tigerish human be ings to disperse. The crowd merely refused to miss the fun, ‘The time may come when some hopeful side | may be seen again, For the present Jit makes us look upon the future witt discouragement and doubt.” ‘The fact is conceded by Republicans and citizens that the county ticket nominated last Saturday at Conven: tion hall is strong in every particular.

The offices of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute of Tuskegee, Alabama, have gradually matured a plan which should very deeply interest the young men and women of the race who are seeking an education. This plan enables young men and young women to attend school at night and work at an industry or trade during the day, or in the case of those who are able to pay a small monthly sum, to attend school during the day and at the same time learn a trade or work at some industry. This improved plan gives superior opportunity for literary and academic training and at the same time, gives equal opportunity for the learning of a trade. Last year thirty-six states were represented by students at Tuskegee, and nine foreign countries. The attendance during the coming year promises to be very large and the class of students promises to be of a high grade. Smith has the most attractive aid best lighted store on the avenue. THE HOME, THE SABBATH SCHOOL AND THE THEATER. Less than fifty years ago it was the custom in all well-regulated homes to make Saturday a day of preparation for the Sabbath. Extra baking was done. The home was put into good order, the shades were drawn, and mother and children, after making themselves tidy, assembled in one room, the children to study their Sabbath school lesson, the mother to do this little thing or that. Can you not bring to your mind such a peaceful scene and can you wonder that the girls brought up after this fashion grew into home loving young women and made desirable wives and mothers? Their mothers were not compelled to rack their brains continually to furnish excitement for them or deny themselves actual necessities to give them carfare and tickets to the theater. How many mothers stop to think when they start their daughters off to a play, what sort of influence that play is gonig to make upon a young mind, or how the excitement will work up the nerves of her child and unfit her for study, how her growth will be retarded or her mind polluted by wicked words and sinful sights. Yet, mothers send their little girls to the play on Saturday afternoon, because these little girls have not been taught to be happy anywhere else. They,(the mothers),stay at home and delve and work, thinking that some day they will get their reward by seeing Mary and Maud shine in society. And Mary or Maud will shine, too, if there happens to be born in them enough good to overcome the lessons in treachery, debauchery and crime, that their loving mothers sent them to the theater to learn. There are good plays, but few of the children of this generation take any delight in seeing them. Save your money and your children, too. Then, to the young woman who has spent half of Saturday night in the theater wrought up to a high pitch of excitement, the church services next morning are very tame by comparison. The playhouse is a poor place in which to make preparation for a real Sabbath, and no better a place for the training of home-makers. THE RISING SON. By Joe Sephus.

CURL-I-CURE When you meet a person your first impression is governed largely by his or her appearance. The same applies to you. If you are attractive, beautiful, trim, neat and look fresh and well kept, your first impression will be than if you look like hundreds of others — no individuality — mussed up, and as though you had no interest in your appearance. Nothing adds to or detracts from a lady's or gentleman's appearance so much as the hair. Nothing indicates their character, their gentility, good breeding, their taste, so much as the hair. We all know how much care is taken of the hair by all the leading society ladies in all the large cities. We all know how much pride a successful man takes in his personal appearance. If you have no 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. Capri Glove is a hair tool, will do it. It is different from anything you have ever heard of or seen. It is new to you, but old in itself. *Curt-I-Cure* is but another name for one of the greatest and most wonderful preparations which has ever been discovered. It has been used by the leading doctors all over the world, every day. It is used as a 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.

THE RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL A tall, thin man, deeply bronzed, tiny crowseft showing athwart the tan at the corners of his eyes, his force head white when he pushed back his soft felt hat, leaned over the rail of a small "pleasure" steamer that made short trips between Bar Harbor and Jonesport twice and thrice a week. His hand was brown and shewy, like himself, and the cigar he held he dropped overboard as the tiny craft came in sight of Slidbridge. "Good God"—and there seemed no savor of irreverence as the man spoke the words, and his keen gray eyes were moist—"not a speck of change—not a speck! No railway apparently, no pier, no anything, after twenty years! And I've come 12,000 miles to see you and I find you just as I left you! "Eh—eh? It's my body that has grown old, not my heart." "Do you get off here, sir?" "Yes, purser, and look out for me on your way back. What a quaint old place this seems to be!" The purser laughed. "They say of Sidbridge that no one ever dies there and no change has taken place for fifty years or more." "Ah, it's different on my side! I'm from the other side of the world." Herbert Seaton walked the plank, the only passenger to alight, leaving buns and babies behind him, and, carrying his grip, he went up the main street, looking keenly from hand to hand. The name on the few stores were familiar to him. He nodded and gave "Good day!" to an old lady sunning herself upon the doorstep, who returned his greeting with no sign of recognition. Behind the coast guard's cottage is a small square. You enter it from the main street by a narrow passage that looks like a cul de sac, but it opens out into a tiny quadrangle, where the sound of the sea scarcely penetrates. The houses—all of one pattern—are lime washed and tiled, with green shutters, and the rust from the hinges has stained them almost red in patches. And the man made his way toward one with feet that lagged. The green shutters, the hall mark of respectability, hung awry, and their hinges were rusted. He turned to the next house and knocked at the door. At the house of his quest the front door swung to and fro. "Can you tell me where Mrs. Haygarth has moved to?" I have never heard the name, sir. "Did not Mrs. Haygarth—her name was Radford before her marriage—come here to live on her wedding day?" "Radford is a common name here, sir. There are three Margaret Radfords in the parish now." "But the Margaret I mean married the New York broker twenty years ago." "That is long before my time, sir. But the broker, I have heard, was killed on his wedding day." "Give me the address of these Margaret Radfords. I've been 'clean awa.' for many years." The Yankee speech slipped back to the man's tongue, and the young wom A man in a hat is holding a bouquet of flowers in front of a window. A woman is standing outside the window, holding a bouquet of flowers. Saw a beautiful woman. an laughed, for at first the man spoke with the twang of a foreigner. "Well," she said, the laugh still upon ner lips, "there's Margaret who's gone 'clean away', Margaret who blides to Salcombe, and the schule mistress BY GEORGE BARTLEY —her what bides tew Peak schule.' So he made his way to Margaret Radford who bided near the church, and finding the announcement that apartments were to let, engaged a bedroom, and there was no grumbling about her terms, for the Australian had generosity all over him! Then Herbert Seaton made his way up the steep path he had been told led to the "schulehouse." In his day he remembered the local cobbler kept school and turned out perhaps poor scholars, but good fishermen, and he emphasized his remarks with a strap. Seaton felt it now. Between hedges twenty feet high, up the steep red path he made his way, and at the end stood the schoolhouse, facing the sea. He stood outside for some minutes, brushing perspiration from his forehead. Then he peered between the serried ranks of fuchsia and myrtle that stock on the broad window sill, and he saw a beautiful woman, of nearly his own age, who had blue, gentle eyes, and a gentle face, and an aureole of fair hair, that in beams of sunlight looked to him like a halo. Small man and woman kind were around her knees, from tiny tots to girls of 13, and she was talking and teaching as only an angel upon earth—or a good woman, which is the same thing—can talk and teach from the Book of Books that lay upon her lap. And the Australian wanted to go in. A man is handing a woman a suitcase. Held out his arms. too, and kiss a pair of lips that erstwhile were his to kiss, but he stopped and listened, and the lump in his throat choked him, for he was listening to the old-new story of the prodigal son, and the narration seemed to move the sweet saint, and the children, who had heard it hundreds of times before, always found some fresh questions to ask. "Sweet," was the informal address of one dark-eyed boy, who seemed a favorite, "what would you do if your son came back to you like this prodigy son who ate husks?" "Sweet never had a son. Sweet has never been married," came from an elder girl. And the heart of the man bounded within him. "I should welcome my prodigal dearly, of course." And the sweet mouth had grown wistful, but her eyes seemed as if they had visions or something far away. "Would you kiss him, I wonder?" Schoolma'am blushed and laughed like a young girl. "Yes, I think I should kiss him," she said gently. "Well, let's pretend I'm the prodigy and you be the man who owned the fatted calves." Seaton chuckled to himself, feeling a boy again. Then he went for a walk, returning an hour later, to find school dismissed. Margaret Radford felt strangely lonely when her little flock had run off shouting down the hill, and the sad little look came again into her face. And then a shadow fell across the floor and she looked up. For a moment she did not speak; her eyes grew round, and her breath came and went in deep gasps between her parted lips. 'The prodigal son has returned, Margaret. Lord knows I have eaten husks enough down under!' "You are a thousand, thousand times welcome. Herbert Seaton!" And she began to sob. He had not yet even touched her harml, but had drawn nearer. "What did you tell little Bob Carey you would do when the prodigal returned?" He spoke in a tone of banter to nude the deep feeling that moved him, but he held out his arms and his love few into them, and he rained kisses upon lip, cheek and brow. "My love—my love!" was all he could stammer out, after a silence of twenty years. And she, too, lay silent in his strong arms, thinking many thoughts that shaped themselves into a prayer of thankfulness. "Why did you ever leave me, dear one?" she asked. "Your father told me that you were engaged to Haygarth, and he was richer than I. He even showed me the house you were to live in when you married." "And you believed him—you, Herbert, my lost love? How could you—how could you? To go away without a word!" Her eyes had filled with tears again and he took her once more to his heart. Oh, the Pleasant Days of Old Oh, the pleasant days of old, which so often people praise, are the luxuries that True, they wanted all the luxuries that grace our modern days; Bare floors were scarier with rushes, the floors were scarier with the cold; Oh, how they must have shivered in those pleasant days of old! Oh, those ancient lords of old, how magnificent they were! They drew their reins of reigned kings—to thaw them who might dare? They ruled their serfs right sternly; they thwart them who might dare? The rules are: they must firmly; they must rule; from, Jews, gold. took from Jews their gold; Above both law and equity were those great lords of old! Oh, the gallant knights of old, their valor so renowned! With great courage and armor strong, they securred the country round; And whenever aught to tempt them they met by wood or wold. By right of sword they seized the prize —those gallant knights of old! Oh, the gentle dames of old, who, quite free from fear of pain. Count them and present armament and see their champions slain; They lived on good beefsteaks and ale, which made them strong and bold— Oh, more like men than women were those gentle dames of old! Oh, those mighty towers of old, with their turrets, moat and keep. Their battalments and bastions, their warriors and deep. Full many a baron held his court within the castle hold; And many a captive languished there, in those strong towers of old! Oh, the troubadours of old, with the gentle minstrelsie Of hope and joy, or deep despair, whichever their lot might be; For years they served their lady-love ere they, wondrous patience must have had those troubadours of old! Oh, those blessed times of old, with their chivalry and state! I love to read their chronicles which I love to read their chronicles which I love to sing their songs relate. I love to sing their poems, hymes, to hear their legends told—But, Heaven be thanked! I live not in those blessed times of old. —Frances Brown. Rattlesnake Seminoles' Messenger. Great consternation was created among the members of the Seminole council at Wewoka yesterday, when a large rattlesnake glided into the tent where the assemblage was being addressed by the attorney of the nation, Capt. A. J. Mckennon. Capt. McKennon was about to kill the snake, when one of the councilmen stopped him, explaining in broken English: "Him rattlesnake; he come down to Seminole council; no other snake do that. He sent by Great Spirit. He go South; that mean Mexico. We must all go Mexico soon." The captain was told that the rattlesnake had long been a messenger to the Seminole tribe from the Great Spirit. They told him that just before their fight with Jackson in the South, many moons ago, a great rattlesnake crawled from the bank of a lake and came into camp. The medicine man assembled and told the members of the tribe that great trouble was about to come upon them. They would have a great fight and, as the snake went west, a part of the tribe would be driven west. They said that the rattlesnake had been looked upon as a messenger ever since—Muskogee correspondence of Kansas City Journal. Plowing by Dynamite. At Pendleton, Ore., and on several farms in the eastern part of the state of Washington, dynamite is used to break up the "hard pan" stratum just underneath the surface. Good soil and moisture are under the "hard pan." In the sagebrush and alkali regions this stratum of "hardpan" will not let the moisture come to the surface, nor can tree roots and alfalfa roots reach the moisture. So the surface is dry alkali, the mother of sagebrush and nothing else. The dynamiters believe that by smashing this barren and rebellious stratum they can make the moisture come up and the roots go down. Crops have been planted over a considerable tract of dynamited ground. In the fall we shall know how good a farmer dynamite is.—Everybody's. New Idea in Battleships According to American cables the United States authorities are seriously considering the building of Col. Cunibertii's ideal battleship, which was described in last year's "All the World's Fighting Ships." The conception of Italy's distinguished naval architect was at first a good deal laughed at, but it probably had a good deal to do with our Lord Nelson class armament, and after the Lord Nelson the projected American ship is reasonable. No doubt a few years hence nothing will puzzle people more than why the navies of the world fitted ships with guns incapable of attaining hits at battle ranges, and unable to do any serious harm even if hits were secured.-London Engineer. HUMOUR of the SUNDAY Pity the Poor Woman. "But your dog license has been paid for this year," said the department clerk. "Strange," remarked the forgetful man.

WHAT ROME THINKS THE POPE'S PHYSICIAN DORSES AN AMERICAN REMEDY. Dr. Lapponi Uses Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in His Practice Because Results Meet His Expectations. Dr. Lapponi, the famous physician to the Vatican, whose name has recently come so greatly to the front on account of his unremitting attention to His Holliness, the late Pope Leo XIII., and the high esteem and confidence with which he is regarded by the present Pope, His Holliness, Pius X., is a man of commanding genius. He is more than a mere man of science; he is a man of original and independent mind. Untrammeled by the "etiquette" of the medical profession, and having used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People in his practice with good results, he freely avows the facts and endorses the value of this remedy with an authority which no one will venture to question. Dr. Lapponi's Letter "I certify that I have used Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in four cases of the simple anemia of development. After a few weeks of treatment, the result came fully up to my expectations. For that reason I shall not fail in the future to extend the use of this laudable preparation not only in the treatment of other forms of the category of anemia or chlorosis, but also in cases of neurasthenia and the like." (Signed) The "simple anemia of development" referred to by Dr. Lappont is, of course, that tired, languid condition of young girls, whose development to womanhood is tardy and whose health at that period is so often imperiled. His opinion of the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People at that time is of the highest scientific authority and it confirms the many published cases in which anemia and other diseases of the blood, as well as nervous diseases, such as nervous prostration, neuralgia, St. Vitus' dance, paralysis and locomotor ataxia have been cured by these pills. They are commended to the public for their efficiency in making new blood and strengthening weak nerves. After such an endorsement they will be accepted by the medical and scientific world at their full value. At any rate the shoe trust cannot be referred to as a sole-less corporation. Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water starches are put up in %-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12 oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 ozs." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. As men of parts actors are not in it with barbers. Insist on Getting It. Some grocers say they don't keep Defiance Starch. This is because they have a stock on hand of other brands containing only 12 oz. in a package, which they won't be able to sell first, because they contain 16 oz. for the same money. Do you want 16 oz. instead of 12 oz. Defiance Bitterness. Requires no cooking. History of the Rose. The culture of the rose beginning goes back beyond records. The flower is mentioned in the earliest Coptic manuscripts. India's traditions take the rose to the times of the gods on earth. Egypt had roses, wild and tame, before the Roman occupation made it, in a way, Rome's commercial rose garden; yet, curiously enough, there is no reference to the flower in painting, sculpture or hieroglyphics. Japan, in our time, parallels Egypt. Roses flourish there, but do not serve as a motif for artists. There is the further likeness—neither Egypt nor Japan has a rose song or a love song Little Togo. Admiral Togo, the Japanese naval commander, is a little man—small even among his countrymen. He is about 56 years of age, with coal-black hair standing straight up from his head, expressionless eyes, prominent cheek bones and a powerful jaw relieved by an imperial. Always unimpassioned, he gazes as steadily at the flight of a passing bird as he did ten years ago on the sinking of the Kowshing and the bending of 2,000 human beings to a watery grave, an event which awoke the world to the rising of a ne wstar in the Far East.

Some remarkable records recently made by "autoboats"—notably the defeat in a race across the English Channel of a fast turbine steamer by a little forty-foot motor boat—led an English expert, S. F. Edge, to predict that the new engine borrowed from the motor car, will take the place of the steam engine even for larger vessels. He expects, indeed, to see the twenty-odd miles between France and England covered in as many minutes. The gasoline motor is already proving popular in Europe for small craft of a practical sort, Denmark having a flotilla of over 300 boats of this type. An Expensive Outfit. The list of the Russian czar's relatives includes a brother, an uncle, four cousins of the first degree, ten of the second, thirteen of the third and a great-uncle. All of these except the thirteen cousins of the third degree must be addressed as "imperial highness." These thirty-three male relatives of the czar are a great financial burden to the empire, as each of them receives an annual income of $400,000. They moreover own in the aggregate 5,000 square miles of land and 325 palaces, employing an army of 20,000 servants. Cure to Stay Cured. Wapello, Iowa, Oct. 10 (Special)—One of the most remarkable cures ever recorded in Louisa County is that of Mrs. Minnie Hart of this place. Mrs. Hart was in bed for eight months and when she was able to sit up she was all drawn up on one side and could not walk across the room. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her. Speaking of her cure Mrs. Hart says: "Yes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me after I was in bed for eight months and I know the cure was complete for that was three years ago and I love not been down since. In four weeks from the time I started taking them I was able to make my garden. Nobody can know how thankful I am to be cured or how much I feel I owe to Dodd's Kidney Pills." This case again points out how much the general health depends on the Kidneys. Cure the Kidneys with Dodd's Kidney Pills and nine-tenths of the suffering the human family is heir to, will disappear.

THE UNITED STATES WILL SOON KNOCK AT THE DOORS OF CANADA FOR WHEAT. A Crop of 60,000,000 Bushels of Wheat Will Be the Record of 1904. The results of the threshing in Western Canada are not yet completed, but from information at hand, it is safe to say that the average per acre will be reasonably high, and a fair estimate will place the total yield of wheat at 60,000,000 bushels. At present prices this will add to the wealth of the farmers nearly $60,000,000. Then think of the immense yield of oats and barley, and the large herds of cattle, for all of which good prices will be paid. The following official telegram was sent by Honorable Clifford Sifton, Minister of the Interior, to Lord Strathcona, High Commissioner for Canada: "Am now able to state definitely that under conditions of unusual difficulty in Northwest a fair average crop of wheat of good quality has been reaped and is now secure from substantial damage. The reports of injury by frost and rust were grossly exaggerated. The wheat of Manitoba and Northwest Territories will aggregate from fifty-five to sixty million bushels. The quality is good and the price is ranging around one dollar per bushel." Frank H. Spearman, in the Saturday Evening Post, says: "When our first transcontinental railroad was built, learned men attempted by isotherman demonstration to prove that wheat could not profitably be grown north of where the line was projected; but the real granary of the world lies up to 300 miles north of the Canadian Pacific railroad, and the day is not definitely distant when the United States will knock at the doors of Canada for its bread. Railroad men see such a day; it may be hoped that statesmen also will see it, and arrange their reciprocities while they may do so gracefully. Americans already have swarmed into that far country and to a degree have taken the American wheat field with them. Despite the fact that for years a little Dakota station on the St. Paul road—Eureka—held the distinction of the largest primary grain market in the world, the Dakotas and Minnesota will one day yield their palm to Saskatchewan." Intellectuality is the cause of baldness. So says a baldheaded scientist Warning to Housewives. The average consumer of baking powder does not know that a reaction occurs the chemical reaction of baking, the chemical reaction takes place, the nature of the original materials is entirely changed, so that the substances which make up baking powder are in turn different from those which composed the baking powder before baking. For this reason, the statement that a baking powder contains alum or sodium tartar consists of a cream of intrinsic consumer as to what he eats. What the consumer wants to know is what goes into food prepared with a cream of tartar baking powder does not contain any cream of tartar, just as food prepared with a cream of tartar contains alum. In the case of the high-priced trust baking powders this bread residue consists of Rochelle Salts, the active ingredient in food prepared with these trust baking powders is eaten, the consumer is taking a dose of Seedlitz Powders, which are a type of food food, and this constant dosing will seriously derange the digestive organs. Prof. Wiley, chemist of the United States, states that in substance that "A loaf of bread made from a quart of flour leavened with cream of tartar baking powder contains is contained in one Seedlitz Powder." At a hearing before the Committee on Public Health of the Massachusetts Legislature, against health issues, wholesale dosing of the public, the following eminent Boston physicians testified against health issues, and strongly recommended the passage of a law which would prohibit the sale of powders which left this dangerous drug in food. Dr. Hartung, Dr. C. Murray, Dr. P. B. Boster, Dr. G. M. Palmer. Why should the consumer pay forty-five or fifty cents per pound for baking in the world can be made to retail at twenty-five cents per pound (the price asked for Calumet Baking Powder) and make five cents per pound (the price manufactured of Calumet Baking Powder have for years made a standing offer of $1,000.00 for any substance injurious to health found in food prepared from Calumet made from Calumet is entirely free from Rochelle Salts, alum, lime or ammonia. The fool-killer should be remove from office for cause. HAD CAUGHT THE FISH. Typical Story of the East Told by Mrs. Gardner. Mrs. John Lyon Gardner of Boston exhibited some beautiful asters at the recent show of the Massachusetts Horticultural society. One evening some one narrated to Mrs. Gardner a humorous story of an exhibitor who had tried to bribe the judges of a flower show into giving him all the first prizes. She commented on the story thus: "The man had probably heard of the cadi of Bagdad. This cadi had been in his youth a fisherman, and, to keep himself in mind of his humble origin, there was always spread upon his dinner table a huge fishing net. "People admired the cadi for this exhibition of humility. He was rich, and his house was sumptuous. But, amid all that elegance, the net, the sign of the man's lowly birth, was always prominently displayed. "The story of the net spread through the city, and finally it reached the ears of the caliph. He, in due time, sent for the cadi, took him into his favor and made him the grand vizier. "Thus,' said Haroun al Raschid, 'we reward humility.' "From the day of the appointment the grand vizier ceased to exhibit his fishing net. It disappeared and it was never spoken of. "Once though, a visitor, a man of considerable impudence, said to the vizier: "Why is it, my lord, that your net is no longer spread upon your table?" "The vizier smiled and quietly replied: "It has caught the fish." A Setback. Henry James, after an absence of many years, has returned to America. many years, has returned to America. Mr. James has come to be regarded, especially by the younger writers, as the greatest American novelist. Pilgrimages are made to his beautiful English home in Rye, and a word of praise from the master is esteemed of greater worth than a page of praise from an ordinary newspaper or review. A young American novelist took occasion to visit Mr. James during a European tour that he made in the summer. This novelist is successful and prolific. His books sell with astonishing speed and with astonishing speed he produces them. After giving a little perfunctorial praise to Mr. James' own work, the young man said: "What do you think of my work, sir?" "I think you write too much," Mr James said candidly. "I think you'll never reach posterity if you carry so much luggage." Getting the Money's Worth. Mrs. Lane was young and hexpert enced, but certain principles of economy had been instilled into her from childhood. She knew that since one could send ten words in a telegram for 25 cents and any smaller number cost the same amount, it was an obvious waste of money to send less than the ten. She had also been taught by her eminently practical husband that in sending a telegram one should "keep to the matter in hand," and avoid all confusion of words. On the occasion of Mr. Lane's first absence from home, he sent a telegram from Chicago, saying, "Are you all right? Answer. Blank Hotel, Chicago." Mrs. Lane knew she must be wise, economical and speedy, for Mr. Lane was making a flying trip, and had told her he could not plan on his whereabouts long enough ahead to have a letter sent. She spent a few moments in agitated thought, and then proudly wrote the following message: "Yes. Yes. Yes. I am very well indeed, thank you."—Youth's Companion. Just As of Yore.

The French ministry of finance has just published the statistics of wills proved in France in 1903, and from this it is evident that he number of very rich people in the country has been grossly exaggerated. Last year only 497 wills, leaving more than 1,000,000 francs, or £40,000, were proved, and of these only 144 exceeded 2,000,000 francs, of £80,000. There were only eight fortunes of over 10,000,000 francs, or £400,000, and the highest of all was of the exceptional value of £2,000,000. It is evident, then, that the real millionaires in France are very few, but it should be noted that rich men in France marry rich wives, so that a family may be much more wealthy than the will of either father or mother would imply. No Owner to Valuable Lands. Another parcel of real estate in Brooklyn is discovered to have no owner of record, and taxes are piling up on a $350,000 slice of the Greenpoint district. Two weeks ago it was found that in South Brooklyn there were eleven parcels, valued at $150,000, for which the city had no record of the owners. But the big parcel in Manhattan avenue, between Ash street and Newton creek, offers the most unaccountable mystery. Real estate agents have no knowledge of the owners. Who collects the rents for the factories on the land is a secret the tenants profess not to know. Hessian Money Made Rothschild Fortune. It is not generally known that the vast fortune of the Rothschilds is due in large degree to the money which England paid for the Hessians. When Napoleon was raiding Germany the elector of Hesse-Cassel intrusted this treasure to Meyer Anselm Rothschild, and the fidelity with which that famous Hebrew administered the trust raised him to that high place in international finances which the family, in its several branches, has since occupied and extended. Tobacco Receipts. The total government receipts from tobacco from all sources were $44,655,808.75 for the fiscal year, against $43,514,810.24 for the fiscal year 1902-1903, or an increase of $1,140,998.51. This increase is participated in by all branches of the trade except cigar manufacture—here we see a decrease of $236,756.01. As cigar manufacturing shows the worst condition, so tobacco manufacture shows the best condition. Receipts for this branch of the trade exceeded the receipts for the previous fiscal year by $1,007,790.02. Many American Gulls. Before the Belfast Natural History Society J. Brown gave reasons for concluding that there are 2,000,000 gulls in the United Kingdom and that during the herring season each bird destroyed 200 fry a day, or 12,000 during the two months of the season. These, if they had come to maturity, would have been worth $120,000,000. Where Much Money Lies. It is published in New York that Contractor J. B. McDonald filled in some swamps at Pelham bay with earth excavated from the Jerome park reservoir and made $3,000,000 by the increased value of the lands.
