THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Fearless Champion of the American People—His Attitude on the Race Question. President Roosevelt is truly a great man, a brilliant statesman, a man of pure purposes in private and public affairs. His wise and judicious management of the affairs of the national government has gained for him marked admiration of not only the American people, but the people throughout the civilized world. Mr. Roosevelt has sought with moral intrepidity noble ends by noble means. Kings, monarchs and European nobility marvel at his great individuality and remarkable statesmanship, in the exercise of which he has maintained the peace and prosperity of the American nation. The intense honesty of purpose, the influence of which is woven into true civilization, is one of the president's potent and admirable characteristics. President Roosevelt hates deceit and corruption in all their forms, and those two great evils he has sought to remove from the American politics, and his attitude thusly is admired by friend and foe alike. HIS LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE. Nothing of material import was omitted from the president's letter of acceptance. All the important questions affecting our national government and pending solutions were analyzed and passed upon in a manner that revealed the president's position and his advice upon each topic arrested the attention of the American and foreign thinkers. THE RACE QUESTION. The president did not evade the race question in his letter of acceptance, but pointed out the duty of this government toward her millions of Negro subjects. He said, in part: "In our several commonwealths here in the United States we as a people now face the complex problem of securing fair treatment to each man, regardless of his race or color. We can do so only if we approach the problem in the spirit of courage, common sense and high-minded devotion to the right, which has enabled Governor Taft, Governor Wright and their associates to do so noble a work in giving to the Philippine people the benefit of true principles of American liberty." MR. ROOSEVELT ON LYNCHING. In his letter to Governor Durbin of Indiana, commending him for calling the military forces of Indiana to protect a Negro criminal from mob violence, the president cites the following: "All men must feel the greatest alarm over the growth of lynching in this country, and especially over the peculiarly hideous forms so often taken by mob violence when colored men are the victims, on which occasion the mob seems to lay most weight, not on the crime, but on the color of the criminal. In a large proportion of these cases, the man lynched has been guilty of a crime horrible beyond description; a crime so horrible that, so far as he himself is concerned, he has forfeited the right of any kind of sympathy whatsoever." HIS ATTITUDE CREATES HEALTHY INFLUENCE. The position which the president takes with reference to the race question creates a healthy influence among unbiased people. This fact was demonstrated at a mass meeting called last April by the Union League club of New York, an organization whose membership comprises such men as General Horace Porter, Joseph H. Chote, John Jay, George Cabbot Ward, Cornelius N. Bliss, John D. Rockefeller, J. Pierpont Morgan, Andrew Carnegie and others. At this meeting resolutions were adopted indorsing the actions of President Roosevelt in appointing Negroes to office and upholding the rights of the colored people to partake of the fruits of citizenship. EQUAL RIGHTS FOR ALL. Again we quite the president on the race question in his letter of acceptance: "This government is based upon the fundamental idea that each man, no matter what his occupation, his race or his religious belief, is entitled to be treated on his worth as a man, and neither favored nor discriminated against because of any accident in his position." The foregoing points to the fact that our president is a man of generous sympathy and justice, whose kind effort in behalf of the Negroes of this country has created toward him a position exposed to assault by his enemies from the ranks of the opposition. Nevertheless, we have heard his voice KANSAS CITY MO.. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1904. Roosevelt and Fairbanks Will Be The Winners Because the Peo Note the ticket and our com Because the People Want Them. Note the ticket and our comment thereon on the 4th page. in eloquent persuasion lifted up in the defense of the progress of the Negroes. He measures a man by his worth and integrity and not by the color of his face. The president says "the door of hope shall not be closed against us." This humanely stand he calmly takes in the face of some disdain, though no less determinedly he wages the battle of justice on and on. As a fearless defender of the rights of the Negro race, ... is essentially the duty of every colored voter to cast his ballot for the re-election of our good and gracious president, Theodore Roosevelt. Let the 8th of next November find every Negro voter in Kansas City, the State of Missouri and the United States voting for the ticket headed by Theodore Roosevelt, who, in point of unselfish devotion to liberty, justice and right, is easily the peer of our immortal Charles Sumner and Abraham Lifcoln.

There are thousands of voters in Kansas City—to say nothing of St. Louis and St. Joseph—who are deeply concerned in behalf of home rule. Many of them consider it the most important question now before the people. These voters are found in all the political parties and are met with on every hand—among business men, professional men and working men. How do the leading candidates for governor stand on the home rule issue? Some months ago Mr. Folk was an ardent advocate of the doctrine that the cities should have self-government as well as the smaller towns and rural districts. At the time he consented to accept representatives of the corrupt machine as his running mates, however, he also permitted the machine to cut the home rule plank out of the platform he had framed, and since then he has had no word to --- ple Want Them. ment thereon on the 4th page. say in favor of local self-government. The unmistakable inference is that if elected he will not ask the legislature to restore home rule and will not sign a home rule bill if it should be passed. How about Mr. Walbridge? The platform on which he is running contains a clear and emphatic demand for home rule, and in his speeches he pledges himself, if elected, to do all in his power to make this plank effective. No corrupt machine was allowed to censor his platform and cut out this vital declaration, and it stands as one of the leading reforms to which he and his party are fully committed. There is one sure way to get home rule at the coming election, and that is by electing Mr. Walbridge and a Republican legislature. If there is any other way it does not appear from the utterances of the Democratic platform or candidates or campaign orators. 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.

Professor Harris expressed himself as being very much pleased with the various improvements, the large attendance and with many things that go to prove the phenomenal success of the administration. Mr. Ossian Lang of the Forum, has solicited from mPresident Allen a series of articles relative to Lincoln Institute. The columns of such well known educational papers as the "Missouri School Journal," "New England Journal of Education," "New York School Journal," etc., are always open for important news items from the institutions, and these facts also help to demonstrate that the school is rapidly taking front rank among the best schools of the country.

The entire address was one of the strongest arguments that can be produced for the necessity of such a conference as the "Farmers' Conventions," in order that Negroes of this and other sections may learn how to acquire and how to retain land, how to adopt improved methods of agriculture; how to become part and parcel of the communities in which they dwell, whether farmers, tradesmen, or in professional lines.

BIG REPUBLICAN RALLY There will be a big Republican rally at the Allen chapel, corner of 10th and Charlotte streets, next Saturday evening. It is hoped that every Negro voter who has the interests of his race at heart will be present to hear this issues discussed. Pitchfork Tillman has the gall to charge that the Republican party intends to repeal the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution.

WALBRIDGE. Senator Fairbanks, Speaking for the National Administration, Asks Honest Missourians to Vote for the Republican Candidate for Governor, and Declares that the Election of Cyrus P. Walbridge Would Strengthen the National Republican Cause.—Personal Indorsement of Vice-Presidential Candidate Refutes Democratic Lie About Administration's Indifference to Missouri Republican State Ticket—Senator Fairbanks Vouches for Mr. Walbridge. Whom He Declares is His Personal Friend and Who Would be a Governor of Whom Any State Might be Proud. FOLK SUPPRESSED THE TRUTH. In default of legitimate campaign issues of any consequence and recognizing that their own party is hopelessly divided upon the serious questions awaiting the national judgment, the Democracy of Missouri has strayed so far from its own leaders as to misquote the leader of the Republican party in support of the Democratic candidate for governor of Missouri. The strongest card which the Democratic press has been able to play in bolstering up the tottering fortunes of Joseph W. Folk, was the canard that President Roosevelt had indorsed the candidacy of Folk and desired that Folk should be elected. That this was false on its face did not deter a desperate press in its efforts to succor a despicable machine gang in its death throes. It was also alleged by the Kansas City Star, the St. Louis Republic and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch—all strong Folk organs—that the national candidates and the speakers sent out by the Republican National Committee, had studiously failed to say one word in favor of Mr. Walbridge, the regular Republican candidate for governor of Missouri. The Kansas City Star attempts to carry water on both shoulders by advocating the election of Roosevelt for president and Folk for governor and has not hesitated to repeat the lie that President Roosevelt and Senator Fairbanks are indifferent to Mr. Walbridge's election. THAT THE CHARGES MADE BY THE KANSAS CITY STAR AND THE OTHER FOLK ORGANS ARE WITH OUT A PARTICLE OF TRUTH HAS BEEN SHOWN BY SENATOR FAIR BANKS, HISSELF, WHO, IN THE VERY FIRST SPEECH OF HIS PRESENT TOUR OF MISSOURI MADE USE OF THE FOLLOWING LANGUAGE: 'You have a candidate for governor in this state upon the Republican ticket who is a personal friend of mine: a man of splendid business ability, of clear head and sound heart—a man who would make a governor of which any state might well be proud. (Applause.) You can do well, my friends, by contributing to the general Republican success through the country, and make Republican success in the state of Missouri certain, by the triumphant election of C. P. Walbridge, your candidate for governor. His election as governor of Missouri means to strengthen the Republican cause.' (Applause.) How is it possible for the Kansas City Star, the St. Louis Republic, or the St. Louis Post-Dispatch to reconcile this statement by Senator Fairbanks himself with their oft-repeated charge that he and President Roosevelt were indifferent to Mr. Walbridge's election? Senator Fairbanks spoke at Springs field and Hannibal, Mo., on October 26 to immense and enthusiastic crowds. Everywhere he has urged loyalty to party and to party nominees. It never It is obviously impossible to hold that Folk is a civile righteous reformer, in the face of proof that he accepted office at the hands of the same "Indians" whom the reformers are denouncing. Charges had been made, backed by sworn testimony, that Folk was not fairly and honestly elected and that he received his certificate of election as circuit attorney because of fraud. Under the circumstances NO HONEST MAN WOULD HAVE A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION DISPROVING THESE CHARGES. But instead of courting such an investigation, instead of welcoming an opportunity to demonstrate the truth, or falsity, of the charges, FOLK, WITH THE OTHER MACHINE CANDIDATES. APPLIED TO THE SUPREME COURT FOR A WRIT PROHIBITING AN INVESTIGATION. IT NOW RESTS WITH EACH INDIVIDUAL MOSSIURIAN TO DECIDE FOR HIMSELF IF AN HONEST MAN AND A SINCERE REFORMER COULD NOT ONLY LIE UNDER THE IMPUTATION OF HAVING SECURED AN OFFICE THROUGH FRAUD. BUT COULD HAVE GONE FURTHER AND FOUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE AGAINST AN INQUIRY INTO THAT ELECTION The Facts. Folk was declared elected circuit attorney, over McQuillian, on the face of the returns by 2,355 plurality in the 1800 election. This plurality was all made up for Mr. Folk in the Butter wards. In James J. Butler's district, the Twelfth, in which Butter was running for Congress with Folk and McQuillan ran for circuit attorney, the vote was as follows: CYRUS P. WALBRIDGE IS THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR AND WILL RECEIVE THE SUPPORT OF ALL LOYAL REPUBLICANS IN MISSOURI ON NOVEMBER 8 entered his head to do otherwise nor has President Roosevelt hesitated one instant to indorse Mr. Walbridge as the ablest candidate for governor now before the honest people of Missouri. He has repeatedly expressed himself as hopeful of Mr. Walbridge's election and the Republican National Committee is giving every possible assistance to Chairman Thos. K. Niedringhaus, of the State Committee, to ensure Republican success on the state as well as the national ticket. Will the Kansas City Star print just one editorial explaining how President Roosevelt, or any other honest man, can indorse the man Folk who has engaged Harry B. Hawes as his campaign manager and whose campaign in the city of St. Louis is in the hands of John McCarthy, who is Col. Ed. Butler's Superintendent of Garbage, and a City Committee which is owned and controlled by Butler? These facts have been published in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch—Folk's organ—within the st few days. The Kansas City Star would do well to copy the Post-Dispatch article admitting that Butler has been given control of the St. Louis Democratic Committee AND THAT THE COMMITTEE WILL MANAGE FOLK'S ST. LOUIS CAMPAIGN. If the Kansas City Star will do its readers this much justice; if it will place its readers in possession of all the facts about Folk's machine campaign, it will be doing a great public service, even if it continues to support Folk after showing that he is the creature of Hawes and Butler to-day, as he was when they picked him out, nominated and elected him Circuit Attorney of St. Louis. A graphic description of Senator Fathbanks' reception and a synopsis of his speech at Hannibal is contained in the following telegraphic report: "Hannibal, Mo., October 26.—To help redeem Missouri from Democratic rule and to place it in the list of Republican states," Senator Charles W. Fathbanks, Republican candidate for the vice president, entered the state tonight at this place, and at his initial meeting addressed the greatest public gathering Hannibal has ever seen. "Sincerely interested in a Republican triumph in Missouri, Mr. Fairbanks not only pled for the state's electoral vote for the national ticket, but repeatedly asked that the Republican state ticket be elected. The vice presidential candidate, in reaching one of his periods, deliberately coupled the names of Roosevelt and Walbridge in his plea for support. Early in his speech he slowly, carefully and evidently as a result of deliberate conviction, eulogized Mr. Walbridge and asked support for him. The speaker had asked support for the national ticket, and followed with the declaration that was important—the state should be in accord with the nation. It could only be strong in the nation by having it managed by men who were in sympathy with the dominant party in the state. Ward. Butler. Folk.

Folk's plurality in Butler's district alone was 4,210, where he received but 2,355 plurality in the entire city, including Butler's district. Begged Butler's Aid. The fact that Butler received only 3,533 plurality in the district demonstrates beyond peradventure that Folk received all of the Butler votes, for he received 4,210 plurality in the same district. Those who refused to vote for Butler were God-fearing people who were influenced by the fight on Butler above mentioned. But that on neither here nor there; Folk received the Butler vote and he knew it. In fact, Judge Chester H. Krum, a Democrat, and one of the leading lawyers at the St. Louis bar, more than a month ago published a letter in the Globe-Democrat, in which he charged that Mr. Folk called on James H. Cronin, brother-in-law to Ed Butler's son, at Cronin's saloon, a few nights previous to that election and solicited Cronin's aid to see that he, Folk, received the Butler vote in this district. Then speaking the name of Hona, Cyrus P. Walbridge, the Republican gubernatorial candidate, Mr. Fairbanks urged his election, commended his qualities as a business man and a man of public affairs, saying that he valued Mr. Walbridge as a warm personal friend, and eulogizing him as a man with a clear head and sound, true heart, who would make an ideal chief executive for Missouri. Thus unconsciously, but most positively, on the very threshold of what promises to be a memorable tour through Missouri. Mr. Fairbanks sets at rest the repeated false assertions that the national managers are not fully alive to the importance of carrying the state, and the excellent prospects for success which Mr. Walbridge and his colleagues have. Meeting a Great Outpouring. The meeting to night was a great outpouring of men of all parties and the local committee of Republicans who arranged it fulfilled their most optimistic forecasts of its size and enthusiasm. Very early in the evening every seat and every square foot of standing room was occupied. When the carriages bringing the speakers reached the opera house the place was full. The stairways leading to the gallery and balcony were packed, and even the lobby was impassable of怒. The demonstration from the audience as the curtain slowly rose showing the vice presidential candidate, Mr. Fairbanks, Mr. T. J. Akins, the state's member of the national committee, and leading Republicans of Hannibal, was prolonged and so hearty that it almost drowned out the band of forty pieces which was playing the national air. The demonstration was repeated time and time and again as the orators of the evening made telling points. Outlines Party Relations. Senator Fairbanks sketched the history of the relations of the two parties up to the present time. He told what the Democratic party had stood for in 1892 and again in 1896 and in 1900, and a storm of applause and shouts of laughter when he said "Now, I leave it to the wisest rage of Hannibal as to what the Democratic party stands for in 1904." Mr. Fairbanks then told of the great accomplishments of the Republican party during the McKinley-Roosevelt administration. The interdependence of all the people made a condition which gave to Democrats and Republicans allike the advantages and benefits of Republican administrations. The same interdependence gave to Republicans and Democrats alike the disadvantages and reverses of former Democratic administrations. No better, no more reassuring pledge or promise could he made in this campaign than the statement that the Republicans promised to go forward in future, as it had in the past. Seven years supporting the protecting policy, sound money and impartial enforcement of all the laws for benefit and protection of all the people. Mr. Fairbanks eulogized President Roosevelt as the chief executive and as a man. He spoke of him from a knowledge gained by personal, as well as official association. The aspersions cast on President Roosevelt now are no worse than those cast upon President McKinley, and like these, history will refute them and place President Roosevelt among those men of the republic accounted truly great. And up to this time neither Mr. Folk nor any person for him has denied this charge made by Judge Krum, and as Judge Krum usually knows what he is talking about, and can substantiate his allegations with evidence, it is to be presumed that the charge will not be denied. The frauds in the Butler district were so outrageous, so glaring and so overwhelming that a storm of protest went up at once from all over the city. Immediately proceedings were instituted to contest Butler's seat in congress, also Folk's election as circuit attorney. Hancock's election as assistant circuit attorney, Funkhouser's election as coroner, Gerard Strode's election as public administrator. Mr. McQuillan and others, actuated more from a sense of public duty than anything else, instituted their suits for the purpose of ventilating the frauds, and awakening the public conscience on the question, even though they failed to obtain the offices, which they felt they were entitled to, and Judge Spencer in Folk's case made the order asked. The Republic says Judge Spencer issued an order permitting the Republican contestants and their representatives to examine both the ballot boxes and the voting lists. The Republic should have told the WHOLE TRUTH. The order provided that both Folk and McQuillan, and attorneys of both should be at all times present, while the election commissioners and their assistants recounted and compared the ballots. Neither McQuillan nor Folk, nor their attorneys were to recount. They were to be present and see that it was fairly done. All were to be sworn to secrecy. The sworn officers of the law, the election commissioners and their assistants were to do the counting and comparing. Mr. Folk appealed from this order and obtained a writ from the Supreme Court prohibiting a re-count of the votes. Butler control in St. Louis Hawks and machine control in the State.

Human life is a voyage, but our heavenly father does not give us the control of the weather. If he did we should be apt to choose nothing but smooth seas, fair winds, full cargoes, and secure harbors. God is wiser than we are, and he no more consults us than I consult my grass plot as to when I shall use the mower, or my grape vines whether I shall prune away the surplus branches. On a certain night we are told that Christ Jesus directed his disciples to cross the lake of Gallice. He knew that a storm was coming, but he did not tell them. They found it out for themselves before they had gone very far; and Peter, who was an "old hand" on that lake, had never known a rougher night or an angrier sea. The wind is right in their teeth and the waves hammer the bow of their fishing smack like iron sledges. With all their sturdy pulls at the oars they make but little headway. They are learning some lessons that night; and so are some of my readers who are now passing through storms of trouble and are enveloped by the darkness of a mysterious Providence. They are learning the blessings of headwinds, and what spiritual help they bring to us. Headwinds strengthen the snews and develop strong characters. Many who have attained to the highest work of honor and usefulness were "seasoned" in their youth by sharp adversity. As Joseph was prepared by a pit and a prison for the premiership of Egypt, so Abraham Lincoln was educated for his high calling by severe study of a few books in a log cabin, and by eating the tonic bread of a laborious poverty. If he had been born in the brown-stone mansion of a great city and reared in luxury, his biography would have read very differently, and perhaps history might never have heard of him. Probably the best part of George Washington's training for his destiny was his rough experiences in the frontier wilderness: I seriously doubt whether the luxurious style of life in some of the highly endowed and fashionable present day universities turns out as stalwart a type of intellectual manhood as was produced in the plain, uncarpeted rooms of the old-fashioned, primitive-looking colleges. Silver spoons and soft radium are not the regimen for heroes. Smooth seas and gentle breezes never make a sailor. This same truth applies to the spiritual experiences of God's people. The great purpose of our heavenly father in this schoollife on earth is to develop a vigorous godly character, "Count it all joy, my brethren," said the Apostle James, "when ye fall into manifold trials, knowing that the trying of your faith worketh patience." Afflictions often come upon bad people for their sins; but God sometimes sends afflictions upon good people to make them still better. That hard rowing in the night-storm on Galilee proved the disciples' pluck and gave new fiber to their sinnes. They were learning to "endure hardness," and were rehearsing their subsequent experiences in the teeth of persecuting Sanhedrens and bloodthirsty Herods. The crowning blessing of all adverse experiences is that they teach us our utter dependence on God. The poor prodigal forgot his father when he was living riotously; but he began to think of him when he got down to the husks. Danger sends us to our knees. The hour of extremity is the hour of God's opportunity. When the disciples were at the very crisis of the storm, lo! the welcome form of Jesus appears on the waves, and the welcome voice of Jesus is heard through the tempest: "It is I; be of good cheer; be not afraid!" As soon as he sets foot in the boat the tornado hushes into a calm. Dear friends, you may find that it is a blessed wind that brings Christ to you. Welcome him into your vessel. No craft ever foundered with Christ on board. No struggling soul, no sorely-tried church has ever gone down when once the Son of God has come to their relief. The fiercest headwinds and the anglest waves obey his voice; and so will he bring you at last into your desired haven.—Theodore L Cuyler, D. D. Character-Building. In this busy world of ours we can look about us on every hand and see great buildings being erected, powerful machines being constructed by the machinist, a name of notoriously made by the popular man, a mountain of wealth being collected by the financier, and the professional man storing his brain with knowledge. All these require building, require genius, and careful thought. If the building for these results requires careful thought and study, should not character-building receive our closest attention? It is not uncommon for a young person to have a fixed, definite aim in regard to what vocation he should follow in Life. He has his ideal, and strives to accomplish its end. If we take so much interest in gaining success in these things, should we not have a definite character, a definite ideal—namely, Jesus Christ, an ideal far above and beyond us—binoying us up and luring us on to the heights unseen? Character is what we are. Our actions make habits. Our isabits make us what we are. What we are determines our destiny. Therefore, character is destiny. The Sin of Unkind Speech. The sin of unkind speech is one of the worst we have to meet and contend with. "One trouble with me," said a young man, confessing his spiritual weakness. "is that I say nasty things about men. I see so much that I don't like, and I can't help condemning it. And I say a great many things which are not kind." We all do; and we ought not. Unkind speech is not. Christlike. He never said anything unkind about a single soul. He denounced certain classes, but He welcomed and acknowledged the smallest flash of worthiness in individuals even of these classes. Unkind speech is unjust. There is more good than evil in our acquaintances. And what we condemn is more than balanced, if we would but see it, by good. And probably the one we condemn is struggling against the very thing we are criticizing. And if untrue, how wrong our unkindness is! Even if true, unkind speech about others harms ourselves. It discloses in us the capabilities for what we condemn in others. It confirms our evil and unkindness of heart. It blunts our sense of generous perception of good. It throws us out of sympathy with the kindly Jesus. If we intend it to hurt, how can we justify it? If we don't intend it to hurt, why do we run the risk? In either case its reflex influence on us is bad. If it is a harmful act, it will harm us, too. If it is a futile act, it will hurt us to have wasted strength on doing it. In the Shadow We must all go there sometimes. The glare of the daylight is too brilliant; our eyes become injured and unable to discern the delicate shades of color, or appreciate neutral tints—the shadowed chamber of sickness, the shadowed house of mourning, the shadowed life from which the sunlight has gone. But fear not; it is the shadow of God's hand. He is leading thee. There are lessons which can be learned only there. The photograph of his face can be fixed only in the dark chamber. But do not suppose that he has cast thee aside. Thou art still in his quiver; he has not flung thee away as a worthless thing. He is only keeping thee close till the moment comes when he can send thee most swiftly and surely on some erand in which he will be glorified. Oh, shadowed solitary ones, remember how closely the quiver is bound to the warrior, within easy reach of the hand, and guarded jealously!—F. B. Meyer. Answered. "Before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear." In the face of a promise like that, dare we say that any prayer of ours is unanswered? We may not hear or understand the answer at once—we may even have to be prepared to receive it; but no earnest prayer ever went from a glad or sorrowful or anxious heart on earth without reaching the great heart of love in heaven, and receiving instant answer. So we have the right to take courage and gladness—to say to ourselves: "The answer is on its way to me. I do not know when it will come, but I know that it is coming; I do not know what it will be, but I know that it holds the will of the Father to His child. I know more—that it will not be too late. I will trust and not be afraid." It puts a wonderful confidence into one's life to hold a promise surely, unfalteringly. Making the Gift Good. A good receiver is rarer than a good giver. Though not a whole truth, the sentiment of a German poet is suggestive indeed: "What the gods give is neither good nor bad; the receiver first makes the gift." He makes it when he accepts it, and in the spirit in which he accepts it. God gives us free air, water, light, food and the products and forces and beauties of nature, with infinite bounty. How often do we take them to our own destruction! We live by these things, then turn a large part of our lives into the Devil's service. Thus we make the divine gift an evil thing. Wonderful power this, that God's love has put into our perverse hands! Shall we make the gift good? THANKS, MY DEAR- BUT ONCE IS ENOUGH FOR ME TO REPUBLICANISM PROTECTION AND PROSPERITY TO CLEVELANDISM FREE TRADE AND SOUP HOUSE MIN DEMOCRAT PRICES FOR LXPORTS WHY SOME THINGS ARE SOLD CHEAPER ABROAD. Because by Increasing Our Volume of Production the Cost is Decreased and We Are Able to Sell Cheaper Both in the Home and Foreign Markets. In the fiscal year 1904 the United States exported manufactured goods worth $452,445,629. This breaks all previous records. It exceeds the banner year of 1900 by $18,593,873. It is a total $268,726,145 greater than that of ten years ago, when Democratic tariff tinkering was paralyzing American industry. Compared with 1894, it is an increase of 146.24 per cent. Even in view of such a record, the Democrats, declaring that "protection is a robbery," would restore the disastrous conditions of 1894. In order to persuade the nation to intrust its industries to their unskillful hands, they declare that the foreigner can purchase articles of American manufacture more cheaply than the people of this country. They would impress the American consumer with the idea that he is paying exorbitant prices. Concessions in price to capture foreign trade are nothing new. They characterize all export trade. Every exporting nation cuts prices in order to compete with rivals. In the United States itself articles often sell more cheaply at points distant than they do at the place of manufacture. Many instances of this could be furnished. If they are not sold lower, there is usually no increase in prices at points distant to meet freight charges. Concessions in price are necessary to cultivate domestic trade, and they are equally necessary to gain foreign trade. The question is whether the American manufactured output is to be reduced by the failure of our manufacturers to make the necessary price reductions to gain foreign trade. if we are not to meet our competitors on their own ground out output must be lessened, which means a reduction NOT INCLINED TO TRA THANKS, MY DEAR- BUT ONCE IS ENOUGH FOR ME TO REPUBLICANISM PROTECTION AND PROSPERITY in wages paid, in material bought and in the purchasing power of wage earn- ers and capitalists alike. There are four items in the cost price of a manufactured article: (a) Interest and allowance for depreciation in cost of plant. (b) Taxes, salaries, rent and other factory expenses, exclusive of raw material and wages. (c) Cost of raw material. (d) Wages of workingmen. In an article costing 96 cents to manufacture, these expenses will be divided about as follows: (a), 18 cents; (b), 12 cents; (c), 42 cents, and (d), 24 cents. The greater the output the lower the allowance that must be made for (a) and (b), which are practically the same whether the factory be running at its full or at half capacity. If the factory's capacity is 100,000, and it can sell $8,000 articles in the United States, the cost of production of those $8,000 articles will be $82,800, divided as follows: (b) Rent, taxes, salaries and other factory charges ..... 12,000 (c) Cost of raw material ..... 33,600 (d) Wages of workingmen ..... 19,300 Total manufacturing cost ..... $2,800 In order to make a very reasonable profit, the article costing 96 cents must sell at $1.06. At that price the income from the sale of an output of 80,000 pieces would be $4,800, leaving a profit to the manufacturer of $2,000. The same article is manufactured in Great Britain, for instance, at a cost of 90 cents, thanks to the lower wages that there prevail. The American manufacturer concludes that it will be profitable to invade the English market. He can do so, because for all he manufactures over what he can sell at home he must only pay for the material used and for the wages of his workingmen, interest and depreciation and factory expenses having been covered by the domestic sales. To manufacture 100,000 articles, his full capacity, will cost him as follows: (a) Interest and allowance for depreciation ..... $18,000 (b) Rent, taxes, salaries and other factory charges ..... 12,000 (c) Cost of raw material ..... 42,000 (d) Wages of workingmen ..... 42,000 The English price being 90 cents, he cuts his price to 84 cents, so on the 20,000 he exports to England he gets $16,800. With the $84,800 obtained from his domestic sales, his gross receipts aggregate $101,600. His product hag cost him $96,000, so his profit on his domestic and export trade together is $5,600. His profit on his domestic trade was $2,000, so his export trade has realized a profit to him of $3,000. But it did more. It caused the purchase of 25 per cent more raw material in the United States than if the manufacturer had confined himself to the domestic trade alone. It caused him to pay out 25 per cent more in wages. His own profit was $3,600 on his export trade. The man from whom he purchased his raw material received $8,400 more than he would had the manufacturer made no effort to enter the foreign market with his product. The workingmen received $4,800 more than had their employer confined himself to domestic trade. That makes a grand total of $16,800 clear gain to the manufacturer, the seller of raw material and the workingmen because the American manufacturer had sufficient enterprise to enter the export trade. It did not hurt the consumer, for the manufacturer would have sold his manufactured article at home at no lower rate if he had confined himself to the domestic trade. Who suffered? Not the American consumer; not the American manufacturer; not the American seller of raw material; not the American workingman; but the British manufacturer, whose goods must come into competition with the products of the enterprising manufacturer. Is it surprising, then, that there is a profound agitation in Great Britain for a tariff wall which will prevent this "dumping" of American and other foreign products in Great Britain? Is it not astonishing that intelligent men should advocate the breaking down of the American tariff wall to make the United States such a "dumping" ground as Great Britain is for foreign manufactured products? PRECISELY AS PREDICTED. Cuban Reciprocity Works for Benefit of European Producers. Cuban "reciprocity" is working out exactly as its opponents predicted that it would work. We are buying Cuban TRAVEL THAT ROAD AGAIN. TO CLEVELANDISIA FREE TRADE AND SOUP HOUSES MORAL DEMOCRACY products in vastly increased quantities—it does not yet appear that our importers pay any more for them than they used to—and the Cubans are spending their money in Europe. Minister Squirls has just forwarded the figures of imports into Cuba for the first quarter of 1904, which, when compared with the corresponding quarter of 1903, show that our exports to Cuba have increased by 3 per cent, while Cuban imports from England, Germany, Spain and France have increased by 20, 21, 18 and 8 per cent, respectively. It is evident that the trade was bad for us, as discouraging the home production of sugar, and bad for Cuba, as discouraging the home production of the various products upon which the Cuban duties were reduced, and that the sole real beneficiaries are the people of European countries, the Sugar trust people and their friends who own plantations in Cuba and are in a position to do their own importing and refining, and the Sugar trust itself, which can buy cheaply from embarrassed Cuban planters and reap the full benefit of the reduction of our tariff in the alleged interest of "reciprocity." Happily, we are not likely to have any more such nonsense. The Republican party, after due deliberation, is now squately committed to such "reciprocity" only as can be got "consistent with the principles of protection and without injury to American agriculture, American labor or any American industry"—which is a very awkward way of saying no reciprocity at all—while the Democracy stands pledged to any and all "reciprocity" with anybody, so only that protection can be beaten down in detail. Since the Democrats have not the ghost of a chance of success, we may regard the reciprocity humbug as finally disposed of.—San Francisco Chronicle. The Difference. The Republican party does not claim that our tariff is perfect for all time. It says in its platform that it will make such changes as are shown to be expedient from time to time. But Democracy says that the "protection is robbery." That is the difference between the two. One stands for business sense, the other for a closet theory. The American people are, on the whole, sensible business men. They will govern themselves accordingly in this battle of the tariff.—San Jose Mercury. At Her Best. Harry—Evidently you are far gone on Miss Checkworthy; but it beats me why. I saw her the other evening dressed in her finest, and I must say I couldn't see anything beautiful about her.

Price Was Too Steep. A tall, raw-boned country-looking fellow wandered into a Seattle restaurant recently, and diffidently took a seat, removing his hat and carefully putting it under the table. A waiter brought him a bill of fare, and waited some time, but, becoming tired, left the fellow carefully studying the list in front of him. Every time the waiter came near him he was still buried in a perusal of the bill of fare, and at length, at the end of nearly half an hour, arose to depart. "What is the matter, sir?" anxiously queried the waiter, thinking that the patron had been offended. "Too steep for me, young feller. I can't pay $28.45 for one meal. It's too rich for my blood." On the table as which the man had been seated was found a small piece of paper covered with figures. He had added together the prices of everything on the bill of fare. Excursion Rates. Mrs. Glimpss —Was not the trip to Dakota rather expensive? Mrs. Seeall —Oh, no; I went on one of the regular divorce excursions. Cured Her Rheumatism. Deep Valley, Pa., Oct. 31.—(Special.)—There is deep interest in Green county over the cure of the little daughter of I. N. Whipkey of Rheumatism. She was a great sufferer for five or six years and nothing seemed to do her any good till she tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. She began to improve almost at once and now she is cured and can run and play as other children do. Mr. Whipkey says: "I am indeed thankful for what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my daughter; they saved her from being a cripple perhaps for life." Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that Rheumatism is one of the results of diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid in the blood. If the Kidneys are right there can be no Uric Acid in the blood and consequently no Rheumatism. Dodd's Kidney Pills make the Kidneys right. In course of time every man who loves his wife tries her doctor and her preacher. People who look for a needle in a haystack give themselves needless trouble. Tenth Season of the California Limited Ten years ago this fall the Santa Fe started its California Limited train on the initial run across the continent. Many improvements have been made in that busy decade. To-day's engines and conches are much heavier than those of 1894. Millions of dollars have been spent on the track alone—some of it for oil-sprinkled (dustless) roadbed and oil-burning (smokeless) engines. The time is faster, too. Daily service of the California Limited will be resumed Sunday, November 13, for the tenth season, superseding the present semi-weekly schedule. This is now an all-the-year-round train, between Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco, running through Southwest land of enchantment. The time, Chicago to Los Angeles, is about 68 hours, which is fast speed for the 2,265 miles traversed, considering that several mountain ranges are crossed.

Fitted coats with vest fronts are among the newest and smartest shown and are very generally becoming. This one includes also the new sleeves, which are full at the shoulders, and a novel roll-over collar that is extended down the fronts. As illustrated the material is wood brown broadcloth with the vest of white cloth and the trimmings of velvet, but all suiting materials and all materials in vogue for coats of the sort are equally appropriate. The long lines, that are given by the seams that extend to the shoulders, are peculiarly desirable as they tend to give a tapering effect to the figure. The coat is made with fronts, that are cut in two portions each, backs, side-backs and under-arm gores, the vest being separate and attached under the fronts on indicated lines. The sleeves are made in two portions each and are finished with roll-over cuffs 1 at the wrists. The collar and revers finish the neck and front edges and are rolled over onto coat. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 3% yards 27 inches wide, 2% yards 44 inches -wide or 1% yards 52 inches wide, with % yards of velvet and % yards of any width for vest. --- Flat Boas and Pelerines. The new ostrich and marabout flat boas and pelerines are wider than ever, more extravagant in coloring and command an exorbitant price. Some of them are eighteen inches in width, and have a decided cape effect in the back and over the shoulders. This cape is in a deep shade of the coloring selected, and the stole-ends fade gradually until at the tips they are almost pure white. The favorite colorings are American Beauty red, fading to a pinkish white, burnt orange, fading to palest lemon, and a rich seal brown, fading to a white that suggests both pink and chocolate color. WHILE THE TEA DREWS WHILE THE TEA DREWS Skirts must stand out from the ankles, even if it takes a bit of boning to bring it to pass. A child's white serge coat is pretty trimmed with the red and white skin of the calf. Chenille straw in various colors and in shaded effects figure largely upon autumn millinery. Some of the new leather belts have two short tabs buttoned in postilion fashion to the back. Tight little Marie Antolinette elbow sleeves are finished with a broad flounce, in evening gowns. The frivolous Parisienne herself has capitulated to short skirts for all occasions but high dress. There is little difference between the tea gown of to-day and any light, pretty and effective house gown. Silk gowns are to be worn right into zero weather and silk and ribbon trimmed hats will keep them company. Coming Skirt Fashions. Skirts promise to be very full at the hem. The plain full skirt which has been such a success during the summer season will be given a new lease of life, as will also this same model trimmed with double ruches at the bottom. Not a few of the plaited skirts are stitched down about the hips to form a small yoke. In general, the front breadths are left plain. Skirts will also have attached flouches with a heading of deep plaits or some other form of trimming. Tailored gowns for autumn will be built of finely-woven fancy wools in indefinite checks and plaids, or showing mixed grounds and embroidered dots. Coat Trimmings. Plain broadcloth and serge coats in one tone, especially the dark shades, are enlivened by white collars and cuffs braided with either gold or silver galloon. Many women continue to believe that the taffeta coat, whether lined or unlined, is the best for motoring. They shed the dust, and if the quality of silk is good they will last one or two seasons. They are often A HANDSOME THEATER WAICH interlined, not only with a lighter weight taffeta, but a light flannel placed between the two silks. A new model in pongee is built with a series of capes, three in number. The garment proper is semi-fitting and the deepest cape falls a trifle below the elbows and one and all of them are confined to the body or the garment by buttons and straps. In fact, all three capes are made separate and one or two or all of them can be worn or not. Material for Dust Coats A great deal is said about the durability of mohair for dust coats. It certainly has the advantage of shedding the dust, but every drop of rain, even after sponging, leaves its mark. Chantung, severely made but fashioned upon loose flowing lines, heavily stitched, with a possible ornamentation of braiding or lace, is one of the most successful garments of the hour. Oftentimes a bit of color is introduced into the coats in the collar or in the cuffs. Each week more cloth coats are seen, but these for the most part are the three-quarter length garment, loose and roomy and cut on rather mannish lines. One of the new coats is chiefly noticeable for the huge pockets which are set on each side of the front just below the line of the bust. Another cloth coat has an odd cap passing over the shoulders, but running into the seams on each side of a box plait in the back. The knit home-spuns are also in evidence. The best model has a full belted back and loose front, which may be either worn open or buttoned back. The belt slips through the side seams and passes under the front. Chicken Jelly. Let two or three chickens cook slowly in a small quantity of water until the meat loosens easily from the bones, and season with salt and pepper. As soon as it is cool enough to handle, remove bones and skin. Place the meat in a deep mold and use gizzard, liver and heart. To the water left in the kettle add half a box of gelatine dissolved first in a little warm water, and boil until reduced to about a pint. Pour this over the chicken in the mold and set away to cool. Cut in slices with a very sharp knife. Popular Type of Millinery Among the most popular hat shapes in Paris are those known as Varenness. True, they have been worn throughout the summer, but with lower crowns than those now appearing. In many cases the crown is conical or funnel shaped, and it is a point to be observed that the trimming will consist of a double band of velvet in two shades, leaving the upper part of the crown visible, and a plume of three feathers will be pinned in the center of the front, and caught with a high narrow buckle. Box Coats Now Fashionable Box coats quite loose are among the most fashionable for general wear and are rendered both novel and smart by the introduction of collar and cuffs of contrasting material. An attractive model is made of navy blue cheviot with collar and cuffs of white cloth stitched and pined with velvet and is A HANDSOME T Odd waists of panne velvet are exceedingly smart and exceedingly handsome in effect and will be greatly worn during the entire season for the theater, informal dinners and all occasions of the like. This one is pale yellow in color with the little square yoke of white net and is trimmed with heavy silk passementerie, frills of lace finishing the front and the wrists. The quite as satisfactory to the wearer as it is stylish and effective. The flat finish at the back and the fly front make specially noteworthy features, together with the pockets which are inserted in each front. Furs Used as Trimmings. Many cloth and velvet gowns have an introduction of beaver used about the corsage and sleeves, while one well-known furrier shows a few attractive long-basqued coats in dyed moleskin, which might easily be mistaken for sealskin, but with a much more brilliant sheen. The coat was light, warm and attractive, besides being extremely becoming. Erine is being used again, combined with beaver or sable, while chinchilla is likely to be worn much more than it was last winter. Lace is being used on fur models, but more as a plaited lining at the base of shoulder capes or sleeves. Fashionable Blue and Green. No combination of the season is more fashionable than blue and green and none more effective when the correct shades of each are chosen. This very attractive little frock is made of dark green cashmere, trimmed with bands of blue silk overlaid with narrow braid of the green edged with straight bands of the silk on which 1 ring dots are embroidered and is thou- oughly charming. The waist is one of the newest and prettiest of the season and is made with quite novel sleeves that are joined to a trimming band, their fullness so arranged as to give the desirable broad effect at the shoulders. The skirt is five gored and can be gathered at the upper edge, as illustrated, or tucked as may be preferred. The quantity of material required for a girl fourteen years of age is, for waist $4\frac{1}{4}$ yards 21, 4 yards 27 or 2 yards 44 inches wide; for skirt $5\frac{3}{4}$ yards 21, $4\frac{3}{4}$ yards 27 or $2\frac{3}{4}$ yards 44 inches wide. New Fashionable Frill The swathed bodice will be among the fashionable features of the new styles. It will be made of silk, velvet and other supple fabrics, the foundation naturally fitting the figure. But whether swathed or not, the coming tight-fitting bodice concludes in a sharp, deep point in front; and many of the new evening bodices are in the old fashioned style—small, tight-fitting without sleeves, except for the drapery of lace or chiffon. THEATER WAIST. design is a peculiarly desirable one and shows tucks which give a box plaited effect, producing tapering lines at the back, while they are stitched to yoke depth at the front, so providing fulness below that point. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 5 1/4 yards, 21, 4 1/2 yards 27 or 3 yards 44 inches wide, with 1/2 yard of net and 7/8 yards of lace. THE LONGER WAY ROUND. Scientist's Comparison in Condemning New System of Pumping Sir William Ramsay visited Philadelphia recently with the Society of Chemical Industry, and during his visit a reporter questioned him about the drinking water of the world's great cities. "London's drinking water is most impure," the scientist said. "They hold that the English take more baths than any other nation, but it is nevertheless a fact that you Philadelphiaans, when your filtration plants shall be completed, will have a larger water supply than London, notwithstanding the big difference in the two cities' populations." The reporter explained a new system for pumping water. "What do you think of that system, Sir William?" he concluded. "I think it is a slow, roundabout and awkward way of remedying impure water's evils," said the scientist. "It reminds me of the way a parlor maid of mine once tried to remedy the evil of a wrongly set table. "This maid was left-handed, and in laying the cloth for a certain party she put the knives on the left of the plates and the forks on the right. All wrong, you see. "The housekeeper, coming in to look the table over, noticed the error at once. "'Why, Harriet,' she said, 'you have placed all the knives and forks left-handed.' ''Ah, so I have,' sighed Harriet, 'Would you be kind enough now, ma'am, to help me turn the table?'" Fooled Careless Hunters. Peterson E. Jones of Syracuse, N. Y., who returned recently from the Big Moose Lake in the Adirondacks, said that the people at the resorus in the woods had been so alarmed by the accidental shooting of deer hunters that they hardly dared stir from the hotels. All sorts of precautions were taken, but the one used by Col. Chaucey P. Williams of Albany is the most unique thus far this season. Mr. Williams landed at Big Moose station. Instead of taking the buckboard for the two-mile ride to the lake, he decided to walk. Before he started he took out of his traveling bag a brand new cow bell, and with this in one hand and the grip in the other he rattled his way through the woods to the lake. Identifying the Class "I don't recall seeing you at college. I guess you must have been before my time." "Possibly; possibly. Who was at the head of the faculty when you were there?" "Um—let me see. I don't just recall his name, but I was there the year Bruce played halfback and kicked goal twice from the field in the last half of—" "Oh, sure! Of course! That was the year our center rush carried most of the opposing team on his back for a gain of thirty yards. Yes, indeed! I wonder who was president then. I don't seem to remember minor details of college life myself." Indian Territory Farm Land The available farm land in Indian Territory is estimated at 15,000,000 acres. These figures are taken from the records of the Dawes commission. Of this, 15 per cent was in cultivation last year. There are about 2,000,000 acres of land where pine is found in commercial quantities, and there is an abundance of hard woods of all kinds. The latest statistics obtainable give the value of farm animals at $55,000,000. The per cent of the population engaged in agriculture is exceeded in only three states—Mississippi, Oklahoma and Arkansas.—Kansas City Journal. A Farewell. My fairest child, I have no song to give you; No lark could pipe to skies so dull and gray; Yet, we part, one lesson I can leave you. For every day. I'll teach you how to sing a clearer carol Be good, sweet maid, and let who can be clever; Do noble things, not dream them all day long; And so make Life, Death and that vast Forever. Eminent Musician Economical. Hans Richter, the eminent Wagnerian conductor, left Austria and settled in England some years ago because he could make five times as much money in Birmingham as in Vienna; he has a large family to support and launch in the world. Last month he presided once more over the Boyreuth festival and tourists could see him daily going to the market with a basket to purchase and carry home fruit and vegetables for his family. Will of Dr. Lorimer The will of Dr. George C. Lorimer, who died Sept. 8 while abroad, has been filed in the surrogate's office. The document is in the handwriting of the famous divine and bears no date. It leaves all of his property, including contracts with publishers, to his wife, Arabella C. Lorimer, and directs that "this mortal remains be disposed of as his heirs, either by cremation or burial." The value of the estate is not given. Advocates Horse Race Tax Lord Newton, who is president of British Horse Show society, suggests that the country's revenue might be increased properly by a tax on horse racing. "Of course," said the Interviewer, wisely, "the life of a seafaring man nowadays is not all so romantic as it is said to be—as it is described, for instance, in Clark Russell's novels?" The old sea-dog on the water front turned his quid in his mouth—which is a salt sea way of deliberating—and finally answered by nodding his head in the direction of a small seaboon which had just arrived in the East River from Corn Island, off the Nicaragua coast, with a cargo of cocoanuts and logwood. "Never heerd o' Clark Russell," said he, "but Jake Russell, the mate o' that are wind-jammer, kin tell ye that there's a darned sight more romance an' sich like in the sea-goin' than is altogether good fr a man as hez a wife an' three kids over in Will-by 'avno' Brooklyn. "That's Jake's predicament, by the way, for last trip he went ashore at Corn island an' fell in love wi' the purtiest Injun girl you ever laid yer dead-lights on. Ye never saw a man so hard hit. He come back aboard as white as a bran'-new mainsail, lookin' as if he either had the jinjams a'comin' or somebody'd put a dead rat down his back. He went straight down to his cabin, an' fust thing he did was to swaller about ten nips o' old Jamalky, utter which he sets in to brushin' his hair an' a-washin' of his face an' packin' up his togs, sayin' as how he awe goin' ashore-ter stay, mind ye. In the middle o' this work he sets right down on the locker an' starts in ter—what d'yo think?—why write a bloomin' pome—somethin' about the palms an' the moon an' the bloomin' hinky dink. "Jake had one o' his headlights screwed up aloft' tryin' to get inspiration, as the sayin' is, when all o' a suddint he jumps an' begins to swear somethin' awful. His headlights had run afoul o' his missus's pitcher which was a hangin' up against the bulkhead, havin' bin took on Fulton street, Brooklyn, trip afore last. "That seemed the finger o' Providence, didn't it? But it cut no ice with Jake. He took an' ripped the pitcher in bits, sayin' as how the missus had two husbands, anyway, one at sea an' one on land, an' that he had weighed his anchor fr' good at Will-by av'noon an' was again' to drop it fr' good on Corn island. "We tried ter coax him out o' his daffiness, but there was nothin' doin' Jake had bin bin hit harder'n any man I ever seed a weepin' by the bulwarks. Well, we let 'im have his own way at fust, thinkin' as how he might come around on the right tack after a while. He got inter the bumboat wi' his sack o' togs an' his best derby hat on an' rowed ashore while we deroy give him a send-off a whistling' that durned ole hiwatha, for 'Jake was a goln' fr his Injun bride.' "We got the balance of our cargo board that night an' was to sail at daybreak. When the time come to weigh anchor Jake hadn't come back, an' we began to get scaret, for his wife comes aboard to get his money every time we comes into the East river, an' what was we to say to her, geein' ez how she's a woman wi' a v'lent temper, anyway? (Tell'e what, mate, there was extematin' carcumstances in Jake's case.) "Anyhow, we just had to do some thin'. We didn't spose no good would come o' Jake's love affair, so the boys gets together in the foe'sle an' we holds a confab along their lines. In the end we makes up our minds that although Jake would probably cuss us all over the earth, we would be doin' him an' the missus an' the kids in Will' by an' noo no end of a service if we got him out o' Corn island by book or by crook. "We talked some more an" finally we goes an' asks the skipper fr the loan o' the long boat. 'Go ahead,' ses the skipper, who knew darned well what we wus arter; 'go ahead,' ses be. So we lowered the boat an' about "Jake Was Agoin' f'r His Injun Bride." seven o' us gets in an' rows away to the rescue o' jake Jake Russell. There was a darned funny side to the business, fr Jake didn't want to be rescued. But on the other hand it was like a labor a love, us agoin' out to bring in a wounded comrade, like. Then there was the serious side, fr we didn't know what kind o' fight them Injun lubbers was agoin' to put up, fr they was tickled to death at the idea o' a white man, an' a chief off officer at that, a fallin' in love with one o' their women. "Anyhows, we was all ready fr any kind o' scrap that might take place. Bully Tim had a Malay knife that he picked up in the Philippines, an' all the other boys had a knife or a gully o' some sort. As fr me, I was the best armed o' the bunch, sein' as how I was the leader o' the rescue expedition. I had a revolver which I picked up over on the Bowery cheap, 'cause the lock was on the bum. But it was a good thing to have, anyway, even if it couldn't fire if ye hit it with a belayin' pin. "Well, we gets ashore an' starts for the injun village on Corn island. As we got near the place we heard a great hullababo. There was somehin' doin' in that ere village which had somethin' to do wi' Jake, we all o' us felt. We tacks up close an' hugs the village until we gets a view o' the coast, an' there was about a hundred o' them greasy i'wathas dancin' an' yellin' an' in the middle was Jake Russ sell. "It looked to us mighty like some-thin' serious fr Jake. Either he was about to be executed or about to be spliced to the Injun bride. Anyhows, it was time to be up an' doin' if we didn't want to have Jake cnerer a corpse or a bigamist. So we sails with a whopee right into that bunch o' "Mighty Like Somethin' Serious f'o Jake." greasy niggers an' knocks down a few. Presently we comes face to face wi' Jake, who wus a lookin' up at the sky wi' the weirdest look in his eyes. Darn it, but he looked as if he wus seein' all kinds o' angels an' he wus prinnin' all over, white in his right paw he wus holdin' the cause o' all the trouble. Keethaul me fr a longshoreman if that Injun bride wusn't somethin' worth being a corpse or a bigamist for. She wus the—the but, anyhows, this is Jake's affair, not mine. I'm a respectable married man myself. "Jake,' ses I, 'you're comin' aboard wi' us,' ses I. "The h— I am!' roars Jake, usin' language that made the Injun bride kinder repentant like. "He cussed us all over the earth, just as we had expected, an' ended by tellin' us that he was still our s'perior officer an' that he would put the whole bunch o' us in irons if he did not come aboard' which he wasn't any way. "We argued fr no end o' time, an' Jake's langwidge got wuss an' wuss. Finally we saw there was nothin' to do but get a hold o' the fool an' carry him aboard. Which we did. Four o' us managed the job, while the other three follored up in the rear, keepin' the Injuns an' the Injun bride from interfein'. The girl blubbered to beat a cyclone, but I ses to her, ses I: "Madame,' ses I, I'm darned sorry, I ses, but 'there's a lady in Willby avno, Brooklyn, as has a prior claim on this 'ere gen'leman.' "But she didn't seem to understand why Jake wasn't big enough fr a dozen prior claims. In the meantime Jake was makein' no end of a row. He was kickin' an' hollerin', but we eventually got him aboard, although I was compelled to use me busted revolver on the old chief's head. When we got Jake aboard an' locked up in his cabin we weighed anch, an' the last time I seed Corn island all the population was on the beach weepin' an' waillin' an' gnashin' their teeth, as the sayin' is. Jake didn't do a stroke o' work all the way up to the East river, where we arrived yesterday. He didn't speak a word, either, except to say that as soon as he got ashore he'd take another vessel an' get back to Corn island as fast as the wind jammer'd go." "And has he gone yet?" asked the interviewer. The old seadog on the water front turned the quid in his mouth, spat, and grinned. "No, he hain't," said he. "That's the funny part of the whole business. What Jake said about his wife havin't a husband on land while the other was at sea seems to be no dream after all. She didn't come aboard fr Jake's money this time, an' when one o' us went to Willby av'noo to tell her Jake was sick an' that she'd come an' look after him, there was nothin' dolin'. She'd bolted, kids all, all wi' the landlubber." "And?" ventured the interviewer, "And," said the seadog, nodding at a man in a wideawake hat, who was sitting on the bulwarks of the schooner seribbling on a piece of paper; "that's Jake Russell, an' we've apologized, as the sayin' is, an' we're sailin' for Corn island fr coconuts to morrow, an' Bill's only doin' the outward trip."—Stephen Chalmers in New York Times.

IN KANSAS CITY, The paid circulation of THE RISING SON is more than double the combined circulation of all the other Kansas City Golored weekly newspapers. Roosevelt will continue to do business at the old stand. The Democrats are making a campaign of charlatanry and false pretense. The Democratic platform means nothing at home. It was intended for use in far away countries. The Afro-American who fails to vote for Roosevelt at this time deserves the contempt of his people. The Democracy has stripped the Afro-American of all his rights in the South by force and trickery. We must stand by law and order, we must stand by prosperityism, we must stand by Theodore Roosevelt. Free trade, free silver and free soup houses are what the Democrats hold out to wage earners in return for their votes. Parker is really the advance agent of misery and want, and if he is elected those who voted for him will see that point next year. The South would be poor to-day without the black toilers, yet it is in the South that the Democrats have stolen the black men's rights. Three million dollars is a great sum. That's what the Afro-Americans who hold government positions draw every year under the Roosevelt administration. Do not sit down and dream that Roosevelt is sure of election. The enemy is wide awake and hustling. The only way to defeat Parker is by working hard for Roosevelt. The American people have a substratum of good sense, and, although they may listen to the Democratic speakers, they will vote for Roosevelt and Fairbanks. Hon. J. Milton Turner, exminister to Liberia, who has been a Democrat for many years, has returned to the Republican fold. Turner says there is no place in the Democratic party for the black man. Somebody should get out during the next campaign and hustle for the sake of principle. Already we have lost nearly all the rights and privileges ceded us by the Republican party, and that by everlastingly having a hand out for a dollar. Will the negroes again vote for bonds to build school houses? Of course they will. Have they not been voting right straight along? What if white children do get nearly all the benefits? Is not education a good thing for white people? If there is a single trade or industry in this country that is injured by the tariff system, the Democratic party has not been able to point to it. Our very existence is at stake. Shot down like dogs, hunted by mobs, turned alive and all in a Christian country. Well may the governor of Georgia feel alarmed over the lynchings that take place in his state. What a man sows that will he reap. What a harvest must be in store for somebody.

The time is past when the only careers in life open to a negro were to pick cotton, make up berths in a Pullman car, or wait on a table. The study of the negro population of the United States recently published by the Census Bureau discloses some facts that show very clearly that the colored race is steadily developing a complete social and industrial system of its own. There is hardly any branch of industry in which negroes are unrepresented, and that statement includes the women as well as the men. A large city could be formed without a single white man in it, and yet lack for no trade or profession. There are 21,268 negro teachers and college professors in the United States, and 15,530 clergymen. The negroes could finance a railroad through their eighty-two bankers and brokers, lay it out with their 120 civil engineers and surveyors, condemn the right of way with their 728 lawyers, make the rails with their 12,327 iron and steel workers, build the road with their 545,980 laborers, construct its telegraph system with their 185 electricians and their 529 linemen, and operate it with their 55,327 railway employees. Colored people complain that they have to sit in the galleries in white theatres, but their 2,043 actors and showmen might give them theatres of their own in which they could occupy the boxes in solitary grandeur. They have fifty two architects, designers and draftsmen, 236 artists and teachers of art, 1,734 physicians and surgeons, 212 dentists, 210 journalists, 3,921 musicians and teachers of music, and ninety-nine literary and scientific persons. The colored baby can be introduced to the world by negro physicians and nurses, instructed in every accomplishment by negro teachers, supplied with every requisite of life by negro merchants, housed by negro builders, and buried by a negro undertaker. There are negro bookkeepers and accountants, clerks and copyists, commercial travelers, merchants, salesmen, stenographers and telegraph operators. Negroes are in every manual trade—carpenters, masons, painters, paperhangers, plasterers, plumbers, steam fitters, chemical workers, marble-cutters, glass-workers, fishermen, bakers, butchers, confectioners, millers, shoemakers, tanners, watchmakers, gold and silver smiths, bookbinders, engravers, printers, tailors, engineers, photographers, glovemake he French Dry Cleaner ARNETT, The French Dry Cleaner LADIES FINE WEARING APPAREL A Specialty.

A ers—everything that statisticians think it worth while to count. And the curious thing is that in whatever line a negro man is at work there also is a negro woman. The only occupations which the colored women have allowed their men-folk to monopolize are those of the architect, the banker and broker, the telegraph and telephone lineman, the bollermaker, th trunkmaker and the patternmaker. There are certain things which always taste better when eaten cold in the kitchen. There are 10 Afro-American officers in the United States army under the Roosevelt administration. Roosevelt's is an example of a tremendous pedrsonal influence which has nothing to do with affluence. The South seems to have developed a big stick of its own, to hold over American citizens of the African race. It should be the purpose of every Republican, white and black, to give the Hon. C. P. Walbridge their support for the governorship of this state. Judge Parker says he believes the gold standard is firmly established. The people know that it's permanency depends upon continued Republican rule. The Son is very glad of the influence it had when certain individuals needed it. It matters not whether it has any now. Because we do not propose to make this a financial organ to go around and get money for the church, it has "no influence." If the Filiipinos think they would enjoy liberty under a Democratic administration they are very much mistaken. Let some of the brown people come to the United States and travel through the South and they would be consigned to Jim Crow cars and subjected to all sorts of unjust discriminations. We are very sorry that every minister who comes into our district of late must be charged with immoral conduct. Perhaps some of these charges may be true and alone from this fact, among the ministers of the gospel there is too much o f that and if Dr. Snelson is guilty he has plenty of company. There are too many of the whitewashed preachers. It is getting so nowadays all that is necessary is to wear good clothes and pay your dues. From the standpoint of a preacher it seems to make no difference what is done, the result remains the same. IT STRAIGHTENED HER HAIR.

I wonder where The thing can be?" -S. E. Kiser in Chicago Record-Herald. Captain Rodary was taking his daily walk along the Marne. In spite of his seventy years he still carried himself erect and hardly leaned on the cane which he carried since he had lain down the sword. At the bridge he was hailed by a fisherman whom he had known for several years. gone with his wife to register the child. When they came in the baby, who was evidently hungry, was yelling at the top of its voice. He was on the point of going to the intelligence of fice for a nurse when the doorbell rang. A young and unusually pretty girl of twenty stood blushing on the "Allow me to congratulate you, Captain, that your nephew has passed his examination with honor." "I thank you, Paul." The captain continued his walk, lost in thought. Without knowing it the man had touched a tender spot. The young Rene Dubinsson had indeed passed his examination ahead of all, and thereby gained the right to enter Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, and the old Captain was justly proud of him, but there were other things which people did not know. To give the man an education the Captain had made great sacrifices, and now he did not know wherefrom to get the money to pay for him while at the Ecole Polytechnique. The young man was really not his nephew at all, but only his warm. There are in life people who lose and people who find. Eighteen years before, while the Captain was stationed at Vincennes, he had found a baby boy on his door-step one morning, as he was leaving his house. Three months before he had lost his only child, a little girl of three years, and so he and his wife decided to keep the boy and gave out that he was their nephew. Then came the time when the Captain was pensioned, his wife died, and the education and maintenance of Renee cost quite a little money, especially as his nurse, Juliette, had remained in the house. The budget was painfully small—a pension of 2,500 francs a year and 300 francs from the Legion of Honor. His wife's dowry all had gone to pay for the education of the boy. And now he would have to go to Paris to study, and that would mean 50 francs for his equipment and 1,000 francs a year for tuition and board. Where was all that money to come from? When the Captain entered his den, the window of which opened into the garden, he heard the voice of Rene and Jullette outside. "Oh, Monsleur Rene, you do not know how proud I am of you and how happy that you are to study in the great city." "My dear old Jullette!" "I am only afraid that you will become so proud that when you come back you will have no more thought for your old nurse." "Shame on you, Jullette. You know that I will always love you just as much as I do now." The Captain's brow darkened when he heard these words. He had just 10 His daily walk, from the mayor's office, where he had made up his mind that to save the wages which he was paying the nurse he would have to let her go and then borrow the necessary money either by pledging his pension or by mortgaging his house. But who would lend him the money? He had few acquaintances in the town, and the very idea of asking anybody for a loan made him blush. And still that would be easier than to discharge Juliette, who had now been in his house for eighteen years. His thoughts went back to the day she came. He had just returned gone with his wife to register the child. When they came in the baby, who was evidently hungry, was yelling at the top of its voice. He was on the point of going to the intelligence office for a nurse when the doorbell rang. A young and unusually pretty girl of twenty stood blushing on the doorstep. "I beg your pardon. I am afraid I have made a mistake." "What do you wish?" "I was told that somebody in this house wanted a nurse." "We do, indeed," the Captain re- A "If you have sinned, you have suffered." plied. The girl was evidently strong and healthy, though she was unusually pale. She told of how she happened to be looking for a position and was engaged on the spot by the Captain, who had not heard one word of what she said. They had never regretted engaging her. No mother could have loved Rene higher than she did. And now, because of the miserable question of money, he would have to send her away. But it was for Rene's sake and the sacrifice must be made. He went to the window and called, "Juliette!" "Monsieur le Captain." He asked her to come in and sit down, and with a voice trembling just a little he said: "Juliette, I have something to tell you which may hurt your feelings, as it hurts me to say it. I am forced to ask you to leave us." She turned deadly pale. "What have I done to deserve this, Monsleur le Captain?" "Juliette, you ought to know that you have done nothing to displease me, but there are times when one is forced to do unpleasant things because it is necessary. It will cost much money to send Rene to Paris and keep him there and I must economize. I shall be perfectly frank with you—I have not the money and do not know where to get it. Shall I sell the house where we have all been so happy or shall I pledge my pension?" Juliette's face brightened. "Oh, Captain, how you scared me. I could not think that I should have to leave your house, the only house I have. What should I have done? I am too old to take a new position, but now when I know that it is only for my wages, I am happy again. I do not want any wages, and you know how little it costs to keep me here." The Captain listened, deeply moved. "Oh, Captain," she continued, "I could never bear to part from you and Rene, whom I have nursed and seen grow up. I love him as if he were my own son. I have five thousand frances in the bank which I have saved out of my wages and I beg you to take it." "That I could never do, Juliette. You are still a young woman, and the day may come when you will marry and have your own home and need the money, and I might not be able to return it right away." Juliette looked up, and in a voice trembling with emotion, said: "You need never give it back to me. My family, my home, is the boy that I have nursed at my bosom, at whose bed I have sat night after night when he was sick, and you, Captain, who have always been so good to me and your dear wife, who now sleeps beneath the sod! My life could not repay you for what you have done for me." "You exaggerate, Juliette; it is who must be thankful to you for stay." ing with an old man, but I will call Rene, and let him decide what we shall do." "Oh, no. please do not do that. Rene must never, dare never know. You can accept my money; it almost belongs to him already. I can say it now; it is for him that I have saved all these years, and I thank God that you need it." Suddenly the old officer understood and when he looked at the woman who stood before him, her eyes filled with tears, he was sure. "He is your son?" he asked. She did not answer, but sank back in the chair sobbing. The old captain went over to her, bent down and kissed her forehead. "You need not hide your face for anybody. If you have sinned, you have suffered, and the present has buried the past."—Chicago American. LONELINESS OF THE PRAIRIES. Trackless, Treeless Waste Without Water or Human Habitation "I had almost as soon be set adrift in a small boat in mid-ocean as to be dropped down on the vast prairie near the Kansas-Colorado State line," said a man who is familiar with the West. "One cannot realize the loneliness of the Western plains until he has crossed them. There are very few human habitations, comparatively little of the land is under cultivation, and water is a scarce and precious commodity. In every direction nothing meets the gaze of the eye except a trackless, treeless waste which is bounded only by a lowering sky. Prairie dogs are the chief denizens of this region, and as the train whirls past they perch themselves on their hind legs and sit bolt upright as motionless as a statue. There are a few houses, but they are at wide intervals. The one single advantage that a lonely pedestrian has in that region is that by following the railroad track sufficiently far he will reach a town some day; but walking at this season under the burning prairie sun and in a waterless country is by no means pleasant. "It is positively tiresome to the eye to ride across the prairies in a comfortable Pullman car surrounded by all the luxuries of life. This being true, it must be next to appalling to have to tramp over this region without food or water, except what one beats at the way stations along the route. I have never been able to see anything picturesque or inviting about the wide stretching plains."—Birmingham News. Etiquette in Warfare. That now-famous offer of the mikado to allow the noncombatants to leave Port Arthur is one of those amenities of which warfare between civilized powers furnishes many examples. The duke of Wellington was a stickler for etiquette in this connection. It is on record how, after giving Junot "a good beating," he sent to inquire concerning his health, the friendly message being accompanied with a present of vegetables, which were said to be scarce in Junot's camp. The great duke was especially punctillious in any manner affecting the comfort or convenience of women and children. Sudduring the pearsonal war, hearing that there were many wounded English in an adjacent village, sent forthwith to their assistance; and all the times Charles Napier was a prisoner he was treated as an honored guest, particularly by Baron Clouet, Ney's alde-camp. When, after three months' uncertainty, the British government sent to ascertain what had become of Napier, Ney, learning for the first time that his gallant opponent had a blind and widowed mother, said: "Let him go and tell her himself that he is alive." Last Australian Convict. The last of the old-time convicts transported from Great Britain to Australia has just died. His name was Frederick Clarke. He was born in Yorkshire in 1829 and was sent to Tasmania under a ten years' sentence in 1847.

"I recommend it to all young women who suffer from female weakness."—Miss Alma Pratt, Holly, Mich. FREE MEDICAL ADVICE TO YOUNG GIRLS. All young girls at this period of life are earnestly invited to write Mrs. Pinkham for advice; she has guided in a motherly way hundreds of young women; her advice is freely and cheerfully given, and her address is Lynn, Mass. Judging from the letters she is receiving from so many young girls Mrs. Pinkham believes that our girls are often pushed altogether too near the limit of their endurance nowadays in our public schools and seminaries. Nothing is allowed to interfere with studies, the girl must be pushed to the front and graduated with honor; often physical collapse follows, and it takes years to recover the lost vitality,—often it is never recovered. A Young Chicago Girl Saved from Despair. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I wish to thank you for the help and benefit I have received through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Liver Pills. When I was about seventeen years old I suddenly seemed to lose my usual good health and vitality. Father said I studied too hard, but the doctor thought different and prescribed tonics, which I took by the quart without relief. Reading one day in the paper of Mrs. Pinkham's great cures, and finding the symptoms described answered mine, I decided I would give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. I did not say a word to the doctor; I bought it myself, and took it according to directions regularly for two months, and I found that I gradually improved, and that all pains left me, and I was my old self once more.—LILLIE E.

STOMACH ON FIRE ONLY A SKELETON CROUCHING BY A STOVE. Mrs. Doherty has an Extraordinary Experience and Undergoes a Marvelous Change. Mrs. E. Doberty, of No. 115 Coates street, Moberly, Mo., is today a picture of robust health, and yet five years ago, she barely escaped death from progressive emaciation. To a reporter she told the following story: "In 1806 I began to have distressing attacks of indigestion that continued for two years. My stomach was constantly sore and burned as if it was on fire. It became finally so delicate that it would not retain even plain water. My inability to take food reduced my weight to ninety-eight pounds, and fainting and dizziness kept me in bed most of the time. I was really starving to death and besides I was extremely nervous. The doctor was perplexed. He gave me tensions which did me no good, and prescribed exercise which I was too weak to attempt. "One day when I was so faint and chilled that I could do nothing but crouch down on the floor by the fire, my father brought me a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I found on trial that they would stay on my stomach unlike everything else. I really felt better after three doses and I kept on using them. Food began to taste well and to stay down. The pain and the burning in the pit of my stomach lessened and at last went away altogether. My weight began to increase until it reached 165 pounds and my neighbors, who were convinced that I was wasting to death before, were astonished at the change. I resumed my housework and have hardly had occasion to call a doctor since. I have recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to several friends, and I say to the pale, thin ones particularly. If you want to get strong and well take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." These pills cure stomach trouble by their tonic action, building up the digestive organs and enabling them to do the work that nature intended them to do. They are sold by all dealers, or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty cents a box or six boxes for two dollars and a half, by addressing Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y. A diet book giving useful information will be sent free on request. Tobacco Wholesome—Sometimes. Mr. Grumpps—The paper says a man in Pennsylvania has used tobacco for ninety years, and is now one hundred and three years old. Mrs. Grumpps—H'm! His was an exceptional case, of course. Mr. Grumpps—Yes, I presume he didn't have a lot of female relatives to worry him to death about it. Avoid the Cheap and "Big Can" Baking Powders. The cheap baking powders have but one recommendation: they certainly give the purer taste of baking powder so carelessly made from inferior materials that they will not make light, wholesome food. Further, these cheap baking powders are so difficult to digest gas; therefore it takes from two to three times as much of such powder to raise the cake or biscuit as it does of Calumet Baking Powder. The consumer of such powders is more than Calumet would be. Cheap baking powders leave the bread sometimes bleached and acid, sometimes browned, and they are never of uniform strength and quality. Why not buy a perfectly wholesome baking powder like Calumet, that is at the same time moderate in price and one which can be relied on for baking. It is a good substitute for cardamom, cinnamon and cloves, the cook the least trouble A Decided Saving. Domestic—Do ye want me to use this quare thing? Mistress—Yes. That is a patent dishwasher. You place the dishes inside and turn the crank "Phwat good is it sure?" "The dealer warranted it not to break over a dozen dishes a week." Worse and Worse.

"Ah!" said Mr. Borem, sitting with her in a secluded bower near the moonlit lake, "it isn't delightful to be out here alone?" "Yes, I was enjoying it so before you came," she replied, promptly—Philadelphia Ledger. Only Three Dead. "That's Mrs. Marrimuch, the society Leader," explained the man who knew, "My!" you don't say?" replied the plebian; "she's in half mourning, isn't she?" "Yes.

"What are you studying now?" asked Mrs. Cumrox. "We have taken up the subject of molecules," answered her son. "I hope you will be very attentive and practice constantly.

What Would Happen. "By Jinks!" said the man who keeps track of things theatrical, "I would like to see one prima donna who can sing as well as her press agent says she can." "If she could," says the girl who keeps track of the way things go, "her press agent would say she sang a great deal better than that."—Chicago Chronicle. aStisfied With Half "That's the best I can do for you," said the theatrical manager. "You've been idle all season so far; now, will you stay idle the rest of the season or take this small part?" "I'll take it," replied the comedian; "in this case a small role is better than a whole loaf." —Philadelphia Ledger. Pardonable Curiosity. "At this height," said the guide, as they paused on the mountain side to look at the valley far below, "people with hearts often die." "How often," asked a deeply interested listener, "do they have to die before they stay dead?"—Chicago Tribune. HAPPY WOMEN. O Mrs. Pare, wife of C. B. Pare, a prominent resident of Glasgow, Ky. says; "I was suffering from a complication of kidney troubles. Besides a bad back, I had a great deal of trouble with the secrets, which were exceedingly variable, sometimes excessive and at other times scanty. The color was high, and passages were accompanied with a scalding sensation. Doan's Kidney Pills soon regulated the kidney secretions, making their color normal, and banished the inflammation which caused the scalding sensation. I can rest well, my back is strong and sound, and I feel much better in every way." For sale by all dealers, price 50 cents per box. FOSTER-MILBURN CO., Buffalo, N. Y.

"I'm goin' to tell you one thing—you one an' that is this: If you've got airy razor or on gun on you, an' go cuttin' an' slashin' folks at the social, I won't go to the hangin' with you next Friday!"—Atlanta Constitution. Little Miss Understood. Two fashionable women were recently calling on a new neighbor, and while awaiting her appearance, a little girl came into the room, evidently bent upon the rescue of a doll recently abandoned there. Naturally she was viewed with some curiosity, and one of the callers, secure in the child's obviously tender age, spelled a low-voiced comment: "Not very p-r-e-t-t-y." To her horror, the small malden paused on the threshold, and, fixing a contemptuous eye upon the culprit, remarked with lofty composure: "No, not very p-r-e-t-t-y, but rather s-m-a-r-t!" "It Was a Lady, Sah!" Representative Livingston, of Georgia, repeats a story that was told him by a physician on duty at a hospital in Atlanta. One day there entered the hospital a young colored woman badly bitten in the neck just back of the car. The doctor who dressed the wound said to the patient: "It perplexes me to determine just what sort of an animal bit you. This wound is too small to have been made by a horse and too large to have been inflicted by a dog or a cat." The colored woman grinned. "Sho', doctor, it wasn't any animal dat bit me, it war a lady, sah!" BY PROXY. What the Baby Needed. I suffered from nervousness and headache until one day about a year ago it suddenly occurred to me what a great coffee drinker I was and I thought may be this might have something to do with my trouble, so I shifted to tea for awhile but was not better, if anything worse. "At that time I had a baby four months old that we had to feed on a bottle, until an old lady friend told me to try Postum Food Coffee. Three months ago I commenced using Postum, leaving off the tea and coffee, and not only have my headaches and nervous troubles entirely disappeared, but since then I have been giving plenty of nurse for my baby, and have a large, healthy child now. "I have no desire to drink anything but Postum and know it has benefited my children, and I hope all who have children will try Postum and find out for themselves what a really wonderful food drink it is." Name given by Postum Co., Battie Creek, Mich. Both tea and coffee contain quantities of a poisonous drug called Caffeine that directly affects the heart, kidneys, stomach and nerves. Postum is made from cereals only, scientifically blended to get the coffee flavor. Ten days trial of Postum in place of tea or coffee will show a health secret worth more than a gold mine.

Somewhere, probably plodding away in a rural barnyard, unhonored and unsung—if, indeed, her labors have not been ended in the proscale boiling pot—is a photographic hen who embellishes the interior of her eggs with landscape and motion reproductions. That at least she has done it once can be testified to by the family of W. H. Herring, a weaver, who lives on 2921 North Third street. Mr. Herring can, moreover, back up his testimony with an undisputable exhibit in the shape of the broken egg, with the picture inside. Mr. Herring cannot, however, indicate the identity of the hen who wrought the wonder for he got the egg in a lot from the store. In its exterior appearance there was nothing remarkable about the hen's work. It was just an egg of the common or garden variety. It was cooked with others for breakfast—boiled in the shell. When Mr. Herring's little daughter, Anna broke the shell in half and poured the contents into her egg cup, her attention was arrested by a peculiar formation on the albumen lining of the lower shell. "Why, it looks like a picture," she exclaimed. The other members of the family studied it and they, too, agreed that the outlines of a photograph were clearly visible. An Inquirer reporter later inspected the curiosity inside the shell resolved themselves into a distinct picture. It was a photograph showing two buildings, evidently stores or factories. On the roof of one of them was a sign, several letters of which were distinct. On the street between the buildings was a wagon with two horses attached and the figures of several persons. How such a freak of nature could be wrought is beyond explanation. Albumen, which forms the lining of eggs, is used by photographers, but only as a film to hold a sensitized preparation. In itself it is not sensitive to sunlight. The address of the artist hen is veiled in obscurity.—Philladelphia Inquirer. Where Streets Are Steep. High in the mountains of northern Mexico there is a city of several thousand people where the sound of wheels is never heard in the streets. It is the rich mining town of Catorce, where millions of dollars worth of ore have been found, and all this ore is sent out into the great world beyond on the backs of patient little burros or donkeys. The streets sometimes hug deep precipices and are so narrow and steep that no wheeled vehicle can be used on them. It is several miles to the nearest railroad, and the only way to reach this thriving town in the clouds is over dangerous mountain trails. The Spaniards worked these mines centuries ago, but they are as rich as ever. The name Catorce is Spanish for "fourteen," and legend has it that the town is so called because fourteen robbers, driven to the mountains by the people, found the rich mines and stayed there to work them, finding mining to pay better than robbery. Seven Modern Wonders. The seven world wonders of antiquity were the pyramids, Babylon's gardens, Mausolus' tomb, the Temple of Diana, the Colossus of Rhodes, Jupiter's statue by Philias and the pharos of Egypt, or, as some substitute, the Palace of Cydus. The seven wonders of the middle ages were the Coliseum of Rome, the catacombs of Alexandria, the great wall of China, Stonehenge, the leaning tower of Pisa, the porcelain tower of Nankin and the Mosque of St. Sophia at Constantinople. How will these compare with the seven wonders of the modern world? asks the Kansas City Independent. Perhaps there may be a difference of opinion as regards the latter-day wonders, but the following are sub-situated: The steam railway, the telegraph, the telephone, the wireless telegraph, the ocean steamship, the submarine man-of-war and the air ship. --- To Grave in Farm Wagon. Though a wealthy landowner in Surrey, Mr. John Innes, J. P., had a simple funeral yesterday in Merton churchyard. By his desire the ceremony was of a rustic character. The coffin was placed in a wagon, and drawn by four farm horses from Manor hall, the residence of Mr Innes, through Wimbledon to Merton. A large party of laborers followed in their farm attire. In the wagon were placed several sheaves of wheat. Hundreds of spectators witnessed the remarkable procession—London Telegraph. Rapid Growth of Oysters Capt. John H. Burns of St. Michael's, Md., has a hard crab, to the bottom shell of which was attached a small oyster five-eighths of an inch long. According to those who are familiar with the habits of the crab, it sheds every moon. The appearance of this crab indicated that its shell was not more than two weeks old. Thus we learn how rapidly oysters will grow from the spawn in the waters of Miles river, where this crab was caught—five eighths of an inch in two weeks.

GREAT INSTITUTION It is unusual that a single institution in a city of 8,000 people will overload in importance every other interest, but such is the case with the American School of osteopathy and A. T. Still Infirmary at Kirksville, Mo. It is also that Kirksville is immediately impressed with the idea that the town is sustained by this institution, in fact, Kirksville has been made what it is to day by Dr. Still and his famous School and Infirmary. It is the largest patentezed undewored institution of its kind in the United States. Dr. Still's school enrolls over 700 students yearly and each student is required to attend the term of the months each before completing the course of study. There are over 2,000 graduates and they are practicing in every state and territory of the Union. About two thirds of the states have passed special naws legalizing the science. This school teaches every branch taught in medical colleges except "drugs" and osteopathy. It is substituted for that. Soon there will be a school in Kirksville over one hundred human bodies are dissected yearly by the students. At the Infirmary, patients from every part of the country and with almost every form of disease are constantly under treatment. For the past fifteen years almost every train coming to Kirkville has brought some new sufferer hoping to find relief by the science of Osteopathy. By the thousands who have left the institution benefited by the treatment, the science has grown. A national method of cure. Several years ago a free clinic was established in connection with the practice department of the school and this is still in operation. Hundreds of the worthy poor, who are unable to pay for treatment, are treated every afternoon by the senior students free of charge. Money always goes faster than i comes.

One asked his opinion. Without a moment's hesitation, he said: "I can cheerfully say that Mrs. Schley has taken Peruna and I believe with good effect." Like the Battle of Santiago, the thought was sprung upon him without any warning, and he disposed of it with the same vim and decision as he did with the Spanish fleet led by the ill-fated Visaya. His words concerning Peruna have gone out into the world to be repeated by a thousand tongues, because he has said them. and passed from mouth to mouth, across oceans and continents. Except for an in-born manly independence, in a country of free speech, these words never would have been uttered by an officer in such a notable position as that of Admiral Sebley.

Republican Nominee County Surveyor The selection of Mr. Oscar Koehler for county surveyor is a good one in every particular. Mr. Koehler is a native of Kansas City and is a graduate of her famous high school. His father is a civil engineer of note, and it is the long and thorough training which Oscar Koehler received under the care of his father that gives him a peculiar fitness for the office of surveyor. Mr. Koehler merits the United support of his party and the voters in general and if elected will give an administration of which the citizens of Jackson county will feel proud. R. S. CROHN. Republican Nominee Public Adminis trator The Turner Hall convention displayed good judgment in selecting Mr. Crohn for the office of public administrator. He is well qualified for the place. At one time he served as private secretary to Web Davis, since which time he has carried on a successful insurance business. Mr. Crohn stands high among the business men of this community, is a progressive citizen and should be elected by a good majority. Every voter can well afford to support Mr. Crohn for public administrator. HERMAN BRUMBACK. Republican Nominee Judge Circuit Court.

Mr. Brumback is a man of unbiased principle and if elected, (he should be) he will administer the affairs of the office to the satisfaction of the citizens and taxpayers of this community. Accord him all the support at our command. I. B. KIMBRELL. Republican Nominee Prosecuting At torney. Mr. L. B.

S. Hadley he is well acquainted with the details and management of that office. He is a champion of law and order. His private and public career stands without a blemish. If he is elected he will enforce the law as it should be enforced—without fear or favor. Every citizen, regardless of color or condition, should cast his vote on the day of election for Mr. Kimbrell. FRED C. ADAMS. Republican Nominee County Collector. Mr. Fred C. Adams needs no introduction to the public. He served as collector for Jackson county the term ending March, 1903, with honor, credit, and a saving to the tax payers, though his collection of taxes exceeded that of his predecessor by considerable. This would seem strange, but the fact of his great success rested upon his sound business methods. He applied the same business ideas in collecting taxes as he employed in his successful banking career. The people should show their appreciation of Mr. Adams' worth on the 8th of next November by giving him a good majority. HON. J. M. PATTERSON. Republican Nominee Judge Western District. The citizens of Jackson county now have an opportunity to elect to the office of judge of the Western district, one of the most honorable and best known business men in the state of Missouri. Mr. Patterson is a man of strong integrity and sterling business worth. He is a Pennsylvanian by birth. After the Civil war he was elected alderman of the city of Sterling, Ill., and for fifteen years was a member of the Board of Supervisors in his county. He was elected state senator from his district, and subsequently elected mayor of Sterling. These offices he served with distinction and honor. Mr. Paterson has lived in Kansas City a quarter of a century, served in the upper house of the council a number of years. His public and private career stands above reproach. He should receive the support of every voter for the office to which he aspires. The Thinking Cap. Every noble life leaves the fiber of it interwoven forever in the work of the world.—Ruskin.

CRUSH WEEK Kansas City Star's Support of Folk Threatens Roosevelt and Fairbanks FOLK'S ST. LOUIS ORGAN ANNOUNCES THAT MR. FOLK'S CAMPAIGN IN ST. LOUIS IS IN THE HANDS OF HAWES AND BUTLER, WHOSE POLICE AND ELECTION MACHINES HAVE DISFRANCHISED REPUBLICANS AND DEFEATED REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES FROM PRESIDENT TO CONSTABLE EVER SINCE 1899 A VOTE FOR FOLK IS A VOTE FOR PARKER Butler and Hawes, in St. Louis, Will Not Count Their Fraudulent Vote for Roosevelt—The Corrupt Vote Belongs to the Democratic Machine and Will be Counted for the Entire Democratic National, State and Local Tickets Safety Lies in Voting a Straight Republican Ticket—Don't Scratch. If the Republican leaders persist in a foolish purpose to belittle Folk and dodge the boodle issue, they will only fasten lasting discredit upon their own organization and imperial still more Mr. Roosevelt's prospects for Missouri's electoral vote. It is a remarkable tribute to Theodore Roosevelt that Missouri is still classed as a somewhat doubtful state in the election for president in spite of the fact that the managers of his party's state organization made his cause secondary to a blundering attempt to defeat the prosecutor of boodlers.—Kansas City Star. Imperil Mr. Roosevelt's prospects for Missouri's electoral vote? Does the Kansas City Star calculate that Mr. Folk's acknowledged campaign managers, Hawes and Butler, in St. Louis have been entrusted publicly with the task of electing the entire Democratic ticket for the purpose of electing Mr. Roosevelt president? Did Mr. Folk's organ, the Post-Dispatch, (Dem.), proclaim Harry B. Hawes the active manager of Mr. Folk's campaign in St. Louis because that adjunct of the New York World wanted the Hawes' police machine to count in Roosevelt? Are not the New York World and its child, the Post-Dispatch, among the foremost Parker organs? Did the Post-Dispatch criticise the re-election of Butler's garbage superintendent, McCarthy, as chairman of the Democratic city committee on motion of Harry B. Hawes, because opposed to a union of the forces of corruption and reform, as the Post-Dispatch maintained, or because Folk and Hawes and Butler spell eternal opposition to boodling and boodlers? Will the Kansas City Star contend that the management of Dockery's campaign for governor by Hawes and Butler helped the Republican ticket? Did it not convert McKinley's majority of 15,600 in St. Louis in 1896 into a plurality of 666 for McKinley in St. Louis in 1900, when McKinley gained 25,000 votes in Missouri outside. of St. Louis? Does the Kansas City City Star propose to assist in the election of President Roosevelt through Mr. Folk's St. Louis managers, Hawes and Butler? Does not the Kansas City Star know that Hawes and Butler, with the Democratic state police and election machine, have counted out the Republican ticket, from president to constable, in St. Louis since 1899? Does not the Kansas City Star know that if Mr. Folk's managers count in Folk and the entire Democratic ticket in St. Louis, they will count out President Roosevelt and the entire Republican ticket? Does not the Kansas City Star know that the Democratic disfranchising machine in St. Louis never permits the scratching of a Democratic ballot by its repeaters, lest such scratching destroy a Democratic ballot? Has the editor of the Kansas City Star ever read the sworn testimony in the Butler congressional contests, from the Twelfth District in St. Louis? The official record in Congress clearly shows what service Hawes and Butler and their machines have rendered the entire Democratic ticket in Missouri. Will Mr. Folk's organ in Kansas City, the Star, believe Mr. Folk's organ in St. Louis, the Post-Dispatch, when the latter announces that Mr. Folk's campaign in St. Louis is in the hands of Hawes and that Hawes has placed Butler's garbage superintendent in charge of the Democratic city campaign. If the Star, like the Post-Dispatch, insists that the Democracy has placed a clean ticket before the people, but in the hands of the most notorious corruptionists, will both the Star and the Post-Dispatch tell the people what Mr. Folk proposes to pay for services rendered by Hawes, Butler, Seibert, Shannon and their kind? Does the political history of Missouri show that Democratic machine politicians nominate and elect Democratic tickets for glory? If Mr. Folk is elected by the same Hawes-Butler-Seibert combination that elected Dockery, will not the same Hawes-Butler-Seibert combination dictate Mr. Folk's police, election, excise and other appointments in the same manner and for the same consideration that enabled them to make Governor Dockery's appointments in the large cities? Dare the Kansas City Star, or the Post-Dispatch, or Joseph W. Folk, or any of the Folk managers, answer? JOSEPH W.

Hawes as Folk's campaign manager, moved that "Boos" Butler's garbage superintendent, John R. McCarthy, be re-elected chairman of the Democratic City Committee, to conduct the campaign of Joseph W. Folk, "reformer" and "home rule champion" and "boodle prosecutor." Joseph W. Folk will pay what debts to Hawes, Butler, Cook, Selbert & Co., if elected, after their management of his campaign? The same as paid by Alexander M. Dockery, in his appointment of police, excise and other commissioners, and all that means to the people, for the same service in the campaign of 1900? The Folk Campaign. Joseph W.

The Folk Campaign. the deliberate and systematic publication of the secrets of the Grand Jury room, in violation of law. "Home Rule." Joseph W. Folk appeared as the champion of "home rule," declaring publicly in a speech at Mexico, January 9, 1904. (see St. Louis Republic, Dem.) that "this work of reformation will not be complete without giving 'home rule' to the people of St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph." Joseph W. Folk, in the face of this public utterance, deliberately rejected the following when offered as a plank for the present Democratic State platform: "We favor home rule in the conduct of the police and election departments in St. Louis, Kansas City and St. Joseph." (See St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Dem., July 21, 1904.) The foregoing "home rule" plank was offered by Morton L. Jourdan in the resolutions committee of the convention that nominated Mr. Folk, but was RISING SUN. KANSAS CITY, MO., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1904. port of Folk RENOUNCES THAT MR. FOR POLICE AND ELECTION CANDIDATES FRO FOR PARKER withheld after Mr. Folk's credentials committee seated the Hawes-Butler delegations in all the St. Louis wards but one, without hearing the evidence. The one hundred and eleven votes of the Hawes-Butter delegates proved the votes that renominated Sam B. Cook for Secretary of State. (See St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Dem., July 21, 1904, and St. Louis Republic, July 22. Joseph W. Folk, with four hundred and seventy-six instructed delegates in the state convention of seven hundred and ten. (See St. Louis Republic, Dem, July 22, seated the Hawes-Butler delegations from St. Louis after the united clergy of St. Louis, in an "Appeal to the Christian People of Missouri," said: "The conduct of two Saturdays ago, of the Democratic primaries of St. Louis, March 12, 1904, was not a surprise in any sense to the police board (Hawes, President) or its Governor (Dockery). It was simply the culmination of a force begin four years ago and persisted in through all the elections since. The evils of the city were unquestionably great before the state increased them by misdesigned legislation—pollice, election and exile laws—but the increase has rendered them monstrous and insufferable." This is what the united clergy of all denominations, Democratic and Republican alike, said in the public appeal about the work of the Hawes-Butler election crooks in the Democratic primaries last March and the delegation elected at these primaries was seated by Joseph W. Folk, without hearing the evidence of fraud and force denounced by the united clergy. Concerning this action by Mr. Folk, his present organ, the Post-Dispatch, said, July 21st: Folk-Cook Deal. "In absolute control of the Democratic State Convention, the Folk leaders made their first surrender to the machine last night, when they consented to let the St. Louis contests outside of the First, Second and Third Wards (23 in all) go by default, in consideration of the machine, through Attorney Morton L. Jourdan, agreeing not to file a minority report ("home rule") on the platform." (See St. Louis Post-Dispatch, July 21st). The Post-Dispatch adds: "If Secreary of State Cook is renominated, it will be the fault of Circuit Attorney Joseph W. Folk and the men who have managed his campaign." Hawes Folk's Manager. Joseph W. Folk, after surrendering at Jefferson City to the machine—denounced by the united clergy, in opposition to which machine Mr. Folk secured his nomination, surrendered to the St. Louis branch of the state machine and the Folk organs recently proclaimed Harry B. Hawes as Joseph W. Folk's campaign manager in St. Louis. (See St. Louis Republic and Post-Dispatch.) The Post-Dispatch and the Republic heralded broadcast the "victory" of Folk, Hawes and "reform" over Butlerism after the Democratic primaries three weeks ago, but the Post-Dispatch experienced a change of heart a few days since, when it announced, on October 20, that "Delegate John R. McCarthy, former employee of Colonel Ed Butler, has been retained as the official head of the local Democratic campaign, although he represents in every respect the Butler faction. The City Committee is the operating force in every campaign. McCarthy and his colleagues named nearly all of the Democratic judges and clerks who will officiate at the November election. It has been suggested that because he knew the Butler's controlled so many judges and clerks of election, Mr Hawes concluded not to offer objections to the re-election of McCarthy as Chairman of the Democratic City Committee." (The committee now officially managing "Reformer" Folk's campaign.) Joseph W. Folk seemingly pleased the old state machine organ, the St. Louis Republic, by making Mr. Hawes his campaign manager and Mr. Hawes appears to have also delighted the Republic, recently, for that journal of Democracy announced on October 16 that "Mr. Hawes, at the beginning of his speech, and in addressing fellow Democrats, referred to Joseph W. Folk, as 'your standard bearer and my standard bearer', thereby arousing a great demonstration of enthusiasm." But the Post-Dispatch apparently did not relish the Folk surrender to Cook and then to Hawes and then to Butler, saving editorially: From Folk to Butler. St. Louis Democrats who want to see local organization completely freed from the domination of the Butler gang view with astonishment and alarm the retention of John R. McCarthy. Butler's employee, at the head of the Democratic city committee, through Mr. Hawes' own motion.

But Mr. McCarthy turns up at the head of the local committee. It is a mistake. While it cannot affect the c.character of the ticket nominated, it reflects upon the sincerity of the party leaders and endangers the party's standing and prospects. McCarthy is not only an employee of Butler, but is at the head of the Butler combine in the House of Delegates and is therefore unfit to lead a reform campaign, at the head of which is Joseph W. Folk, who is opposed by all the Butler following. Mr. Hawes' plea that it was done in the interest of harmony is not acceptable. Harmony is desirable when it can be obtained without a sacrifice of principle; but if it involves a compromise of any sort between the forces of reform and the forces of corruption, it is a blunder. The kind of harmony that the Democratic party in this city and state needs is the kind that can only be secured by driving all boodlers and their allies out of the party. The Post-Dispatch insists that although the Folk campaign managers are vicious, the Democratic city ticket is "clean". It stops there. It dare not publish what the consequences of the election of "clean" Democratic tickets by Hawes and Butler have been to the state and city since Missouri elections have been "carried" by force and fraud in St. Louis through Democratic police and election boards since 1899. The Post-Dispatch does not dare reproduce the "Appeal" of the United clergy, summarizing these disasterous consequences, because that paper and all other Folk organs dare not forecast the calamitous consequences in the event of Joseph W. Folk's election, the same identical influences being behind the campaign of Mr. Folk, at this time, as were managing the campaign of Alexander M. Dockery for governor four years ago.

This man was Hon. Sterling P. Bond, a distinguished Democrat, prominent at the St. Louis bar. After the state machine police had failed to protect a Republican judge of registration and neglected to arrest the Democratic "Indians" or thugs who killed an innocent bystander in a row when the Republican judge attempted to prevent the registration of felicitous voters. Mr. Bond directed an open letter to Governor Dockery, in which he said: "But why should we be amazed at you (Governor Dockery) when others will denounce this man's methods one day, invite his counsel the next, and on the third day nomined him as leader of the local Democracy." (Here Mr. Bond strikes directly at Mr. Folk, who denounced Harry B. Hawes one day, invited his counsel the next, and nominated him leader of the local Democracy on the third day) Continuing, Mr Bond said: "The killing of Frederick E. Scheel (an innocent bystander by Democratic registration repeaters) and the intimidations and assaults of clerks and judges of registration and elections must be borne by your administration. The Democratic platform is silent on the question of investigating frauds upon the ballot. Our nominee can and ought to declare at an early date that if elected he will recommend laws for the investigation of frauds at elections. We ask, will you be a governor or will it be necessary for the citizens to take the laws in their own hands?" Verily, from the solution of the ballot to Circuit Attorney Folk, from Circuit Attorney Folk to "reform" (with the lamented James L. Blair trimlings), from "Reformer" Folk to State Machine Candidate Folk, from Folk to Cook, from Folk to Hawes, from Folk to Butler, from the old TRAILWAY SQUARE 110 FORM."

Pertinent Pointers. "Snake" Kinney, the Folk candidate for State Senator, feels some better since Col. Ed. Butler has taken charge of the Folk forces in the city. If Joseph W. Folk is the kind of a party man Harry B. Hawes said he was a year ago, no Democrat ought to vote for him. And if Hary B. Hawes is the kind of a man Joseph W. Folk said he was last spring, no man, Democrat, Republican or Prohibitionist ought to accept his services as campaign manager. When Dockery and Jim Selbert began holding conferences at the Democratic state headquarters with Hon. "Pants" Vandiver, Chairman Evans and Harry B. Hawes, we predicted it would be but a matter of days when Col. Ed Butler would be called in. The old Democratic state ring is running the Folk campaign, and the old Democratic state ring knows of no other way to carry St. Louis for the Democracy than via Col. Ed Butler. Folk's concession of the Democratic City Committee to Butler really means that Butler will name the next Democratic candidate for mayor of St. Louis; will again control a majority in the municipal assembly and will, once more, rule as supreme dictator in the local Democratic camp. If this were all, it certainly is an extremely high price to pay for the "Indian" vote in November. But Folk can't be elected without Butler so, in the language of boss Tweed: "What are you going to do about it?"
