Conservatories and colleges have been established to develop an American school of music, but nothing has been evolved from these efforts in the way of music that has given so much solid enjoyment, as the melodious melodies brought to us from the South, by the colored man.

Miss Aida Overton Walker and Miss Ha LEXINGTON NEWS. Mr. William Lewis of Kansas City was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Hayden. They returned home Monday morning. Mr. A. B. Johnson and Mr. A. W. Walker were in Higginsville Sunday on business. A mass meeting of the colored Republicans was held at St. John's church Monday night, November 7. It was called to order by A. Young. He stated that A. W. Walker was the chairman and would state the object of the meeting. He introduced Mr. U. G. Phetzing and he explained the constitutional amendments, after which Hon. G. M. Kimbren of Richmond was introduced and the result was that Lexington township went nearly 300 Republican. Mr. John Boyd and Miss Hattie Bell were united in matrimony October 11. We wish them a long and happy life. Mr. Samuel Graham and Miss Estella Parker were married at the A. M. E. church Thursday night, October 20, at 8 o'clock. They were both reared in this community.

The third annual farmers' convention, held at Lincoln Institute on Friday, November 4, was an occasion of much interest and it is hoped that the practical results will be numerous and varied. In his annual address before this convention, Dr. B. F. Allen, president, called attention to the importance of agriculture, the dignity of labor, and the necessity for intelligent Negro farmers. He deplored the fact that reference is ever made to the farmer as "hay-seed," called attention to the fact that modern implements have taken the drudgery out of the farm life, and that success now depends on honest, intelligent work. He also expressed the hope that an appropriation for the farmers' convention would be made by the legislature, in order that it might be possible to increase the extent and usefulness of a movement that would eventually prove a great blessing to the Negro population of Missouri. "Farms and Farming" was the subject of a highly instructive and practical paper by Mrs. B. Brown of Kansas City, the distinguished guest of the institution and a woman who personally represents what thrift and economy will do for the Negro. The paper was full of food for reflection. Interesting remarks were made by Prof. Garnett, Prof. Moten, Prof. Darnel and Prof. Murray, and each called attention to some interesting phase of agriculture. The program was interspersed with excellent music. Kiss Once a Religious Observance. Kiss Once a Religious Observance. The kiss has been common among English-speaking people for uncounted centuries. It was known even to those mystical, half-forgotten persons, the Druids, who appear to have made it in some way a very important part of their religious observances. The Christian kiss under the mistletoe comes down from them, and is thought to have had in years long past a sacred significance. The Devil Grows Clumsy. A Malden woman whose sprained knee was made well by faith alone, two days after she fell from her bicycle, explains the accident. "Satan had a special spite against my bicycle, because it was dedicated to God before I ever mounted it." Yet the bicycle did not suffer. The devil is growing clumsy—Boston Advertiser. Sage Fixes Wedding Date. No Korean couple would think of marrying without consulting the sage, who fixes the happy day for them. This he does simply by adding the bride's age to the bridegroom's and after determining which star rules the destiny of their united ages, he decrees that the wedding shall take place upon the day sacred to that star. Origin of Phrases The London Daily News has discovered what a good many Americans may have forgotten - that the popular phrase "the man in the street" comes from Emerson. It occurs in "The Conduct of Life," in the section on "Worship." Speaking of the movement to repeal the corn laws in England, Emerson goes on: "Well,' says the man in the street, 'Cobden got a stipend out of it.'" Savages First to Use Mortar. Mortar was made by the people of Tahiti when our ancestors were shivering in holes in the rocks. They dived into the sea, brought up great bumps of coral, burned them in pits, using wood as fuel, and mixed the lime they got in this fashion with sharp sand and water. With this mixture the ingenious savage plastered the walls and floor of his house, and a better mortar could not be obtained. Discomfited Lawyer. During the last session of the Chp cuit court in a small town in southern Wisconsin a well-known Badger lawyer came to grief by being just a little too sharp. According to his habit, he was browbeating one of the witnesses, "Now, Mr. Jones," said he, "you can answer that question a little more clearly. You are not as green as you look." "Yes," drawled the witness, in reply, "I am a butcher by profession and not a lawyer." Invention of Panama Indians. We should never have had the Panama hat but for the quick-fingered Indians of the Isthmus of Panama. Even to day their secret process for seasoning the grass blades used in weaving these hats remains unrivaled. Basketmakers of the same region make baskets which will hold water without leaking—another invention which is quite beyond us. Lapland's Chief Crime In Lapland, the crime which is punished most severely, next to murder, is the marrying of a girl against the express wish of her parents. NUMBER 32 The annual meeting of the patrons of Douglas school, corner of Twenty-seventh and West. Prospect streets, was held at the school building Friday, October 4. The meeting was large and enthusiastic. Prof. R. W. Foster, the principal, presided and in a few well chosen words stated the object of the meeting was to secure the co-operation of home in the development of the child along the lines that will enable him to successfully meet the demands of his environment, Rev. Scott of the Christian church delivered an address emphasizing the vital principles of education on broad and liberal lines. Short talks by parents attested the sincerity of their interest, after which refreshments were served by the teachers. A. Contented Husband. No, my wife's not educated, and when she tries to talk upon the topics of the day, you're apt to get a shock. She isn't up in music, and she never went to dances, yet when old enough to marry, she had a dozen chances. No, she isn't very handsome, but then she takes the cake when it comes to making biscuit like mother used to make—Cincinnati Inquirer. Product of the American Cow. The American cow is an institution of huge dimensions. She produces annually $,000,000,000 gallons of milk, 1,500,000,000 pounds of butter, and 200,000,000 pounds of cheese; not to mention hides, leather, glue, hair, horns, and other by products. Her toal dairy crop is worth over $500,000,000 a year. Turkeys Destroy Caterpillars Dr G. W. Field, of the biological farm in Sharon, Mass., instructs his young turkeys to find and eat caterpillars and in this way gets rid of the pests. He takes a turkey chick under his arm and, passing along the young cabbage plants, shows the caterpillar to the bird, and the former sees his finish. The young chicks are apt pupils and soon can go it alone. "Linen" Garden Party A "linen" garden party was recently given by the lord mayor of Belfast. The most attractive costumes worn by the ladies were entirely of linen, and the men were linen waistcoats. The idea originated in the very successful "all linen" ball at Belfast last year, which was given to aid the staple industry of Ulster. Disinfect Railway Carriages On the Bavarian state railways the passenger carriages are regularly disinfected with formaldehyde. The method adopted is to close the windows and doors tightly, and on the floor of the car is placed a pan which contains metal weights heated to a dull red color. A 20 per cent solution of formaldehyde is then poured into the pan. After having been left for about seven hours the carriage is then thoroughly ventilated.

In the lobby of the Brown Palace hotel stood a group of newspaper men and discussed ways and means for se- curing the coveted interview, for Mr. Hammond had refused to see them. In the party was “Little Lord Faunt- leroy,” @ reporter for a morning pa- per. He had said that his mother and Mr. Hammond were personal friends, and one of the men had remarked that that ought to land the story for him. They saw him walk to the other side of the lobby and write upon a card and hand {t to a bellboy. One of the reporters hurried upstairs, stopped the boy, and read on the card: : VIVIAN BURNETT, =: : Son of Mrs, Frances Hodgson : : Burnett, 2 ‘The reporter tore from his copy pa- per a slip and wrote thereon: : ARTHUR CLARK, 4 : Son of old man Clark, + “Give that to Hammond, too,” he said to the boy, ‘The reporter joined his comrades, and presently the boy came down and said: “Mr. Hammond says he will see old man Clark's boy!"—-Saturday Even- ing Post. MINSTREL GETS CORK TIPS. Milton Barlow. Famous Stage Humor ist, Tells of His Method. Milton Barlow, the famous burnt- cork minstrel, who died recently in New York, was a man of spontaneous and original humor. He was a news- paper reporter in his young manhood, and was employed on the Louisville Journal, At that time—it was in the '60s—Barlow was noted among his fellows as a remarkably entertaining story-teller. Artemus Ward met him, was delighted with him, and told him that he would make a success as a monologist. Barlow said: “I will 0 to Paris and study for the stage.” So he went to Paris, his former home, Joined an amateur dramatic company, made a big hit as an “end man” in a minstrel performance that the ama- teurs gave in the Bourbon capital and then went to Cincinnati, where he got into the profession at the Crystal Pal- ace Varieties. He was quickly at the head of the list. Barlow’s only excuse for smoking an inordinate quantity of cigarettes was that from the kind he used, he got “cork tips.” ers ‘My home was in the island that we love Bee in the seas ‘The Weaven alternate smiles and frowns ative, The’ statery troes Reset the hedgirows. and the flelds are ay With blossom-stores While stu the gray sea washes, night and tay ‘The white elitted shore, ‘My home Is In the solemn, wide Karoo, The houndiese veld Spanned ‘on with Infinite dome of staln- ee ies Hore hive 1 dwelt Until the elane hile, the arid plain Gf shnd and. stone.

During the first evening of the convention of the Republican Clubs of Pennsylvania, held recently in Reading, he was sought out by a vis- iting friend of long ago, and some hours together and numerous pota- tions were essential to the renewal of their friendship. As, on reaching home, he stealthily ascended the stairs to his room, out of the darkness came his wife's voice: “What time Is it?” “It is J4JJust 1 o'clock,” he stam- mered. Just then an old-fashioned clock nearby gave four laborious strokes. “Do you hear that?" she asked sharply. “It is now 4 o'clock.” “But, my dldear,” he rejoined pleasantly, “you musn't mind that k- k-clock, It's like me.” ‘Sidats Maa Abas Gaaun Miss Marie Manning, the author, tells this Incident of her recent Euro- pean trip, The novelist was seeing Rome for the first time, and in the course of her sight-seeing was anxious to include a visit to the tomb of Cae- sar.

The question naturally sug- gests itself, Why could not the pow- er about to restore the dead to life do this smaller thing as well? The answer is, that it could, but so could human power and, therefore, it was required of human power to do it. This incident reveals a principle of God's working in the world. It is God's will to help men; it is also His will that men shall develop by using their own strength. Hence his set- tled purpose is to do nothing for us which we can and should do for our selves, He lays no burdens on us which we cannot bear. He helps us bear the burdens we must to the limit of our need; but He will not let us unload on Him any work or duty or responsibility which belongs to us. If we shirk or throw it off, it lies where we abandoned it until some better man takes it up. Man’s work —and there 1s a great deal of it which ~e are praying God to do, and won- .cring why He is so long about it; wondering, it may be, whether He ts, since He does not do it—man's work must be done by men. More and more as we grow into the meaning of life we ought to thank Almighty God that He holds us to our work; thank Him for the rough and the sting and the climb and the fight of life, through which come the strength and heights and victorins; thank Him that He lays responsib.t- ty upon us; that He leans down— Father that He is—and says to each of us: There is a work to be done, our work; here is a right thing to be forwarded; here is a truth to be brought to light and a wrong to be swept away; here a soul to be given life. The miracle beyond your power is Mine, but “Take ye away the stone;" put away this habit, this in- fluence, this self-concelt, this Ignor- ance—whatever it is that blocks the way. That is the first condition. Tt happens, however, that some of us are fond of this very thing, and so -we keep it a day longer and another “day, tlil a day comes at last when It is sunk and embedded and we are sat- isfied that the life behind should die. And some of us are certain that it would do no good to try—the stone is too heavy, And so we content our- selves with saying, calling it per- haps a prayer: “I am very weak; it is too much for me, You do it, Lord!” and let it go at that. And some of us are frightened when we think what strange, unearth- ly thing may be behind the stone; what its coming forth might mean, white-faced and holy from God's near presence; what changes it might de: mand; what new duties it might lay upon us; what dear companionships it might bid us break. And so we do not try to roll the stone away, but say In our hearts, like the fool of old, “There is no God, there is no soul erying to come forth,” and go away and try to forget. Around us, too, there are things ready to enter and glorify this human life of ours—new standards of man- hood and womanhood, higher ideals realized in business and goctety, in politics and religion; more generost- ty, more love, more hope, more truth than ever the world has seen. - Before the door of each, blocking its en- trance, lies @ stone of human selfish- ness or indifference or greed or false- hool. To remove these is not God's work, but ours, “Take ye away the stone; lift, at any rate, your share. ‘That is our responsibility and our bearing toward it will at the last be tae true measure of our life's signifi- cance.—Rev. Herbert Shipman, Through Sorrow's Gate. There are many things, besides sor- row's self, that come through sorrow’s gate—gentleness, sympathy, strength Deautiful traits of character, which seem to find no other mode of en- trance iuto life. Long for unclouded joy as we may, it still remains true that few of use would choose for our most valued friend one who has never suffered. The eyes that have not known tears must needs lack some- thing of tenderness. The heart that never has been torn with anguish and Joss has never sounded its own depths, ‘and cannot measure those of another. ‘The soul grows strong through storm and confiict, if it ever growe strong ‘at all, and, however swect a nature may be, we find it incomplete and un- satisfying if it has never known the softening, hallowing touch of grief. There are dark pages in our lives where we would gladly have changed the story if we could. There are wounds that still ache, losses that even yet are hard tobear; but however we may feel about the sorrow itself, there are few of us who would be will ing to give up all that it brought and taught us—to be just what we were before it touched us. There are some precious gains that come through sor- row's gate. The Gonatant Chriatian. Constancy, stability among Chris tlans, is currency above par. The exigencies of the Lord's work are such that we cannot afford to be un- stable. The unstable Christian {s one of the greatest stumbling-blocks in the way of sinners. Thousands of men outside the church give this as the main reason for their active oppo- sition or a pathetic indifference to Christianity. The unstable Christian is a reproach to his profession, a re- proach to his church, and a reproach to his Christ. Constancy, stability, is one of the Christian worker's strong- est assets, Many of us may not be able to en- gineer vast enterprises in the chureh, many of us may not have the natural powers and gifts of some of our brethren, many of us may not have enthusiastic, hopeful and positive na- tures; but there is not one of us, not one but can be constant in our ef- forts as Christians in our own sphere, if we will take ourselves and our pro- fession seriously. It is not child's play to be a representative of Christ. It is the work of a man, and worth that man’s highest thought and best endeavor. Nothing among the so- called negative vices undermines character like instability, Nothing so stamps a man as useless to his church, to his community, and to his Christ, as inconstancy, On the other hand, nothing tends to build up a no- ble and exalted character so much as constancy and faithfulness nothing will be more likely to raise a man's usefulness to his highest notch than these qualities. ‘To be inconstant, un- stable, that of the earth, earthy; but to be uniformly true and steadfast, that were of Christ, Christlike. The Thing Worth While. I know that many of you are puz zled to know in what direction you can start to help Christ to help the world, Let me say this to you in that connection: Once I came to a cross-road in the old life and did not know in which direction God wanted me to help hasten this kingdom. started to read the Book to find out what the ideal life was, and I found that the only thing worth doing im the world was to do the will of God; whether that was done in the pulpit or in the slums; whether it was done in the college or class-room, or on the street, did not matter at all. “My meat and drink,” Christ said, “is to do the will of him that sent me,” and if you make up your mind that you are going to do the will of God above everything else, {t matters little in what direction you work. There are more posts waiting for men than there are men waiting for posts, Christ needs men in every community and in every land; it matters little whether we go to foreign lands or stay at home, as long as we are sure we are where God puts us.—Henry Drummond. God's Best Gifts. God's best gifts are not for the few, but for all; one of His best is the power he bestows on people to appre ciate and enjoy their ordinary sur- roundings—such as a fine prospect, @ sea view, a mountain or moor, the growing corn, the simple flower, The secret of happiness here is the power to see and to prize the blessings so richly provided for all; and the poor- est person with eve and ear may have as keen enjoyment from the sights and sounds of nature as the wealthiest clients of the richest bankers. He who gives the capacity to enjoy, af- ford ample material to minister to our gratification. It 1s not necessary for @ person to be learned, clever, rich or in Society, printed with a big 8, in order to be victorious in the battle of life, or happy while he lives. The records of human history would am- ply illustrate the fact that tranquility, success and happiness can be enjoyed ‘by men highly placed and gifted, or in ‘the humblest ranks alike, if they will learn and work out the secret of liv- ing well, for the possibilities of happi- ‘ness bestrew every pathway and are the heritage of every life—Reyv. C. H. | Kelly. ‘The Crv of Need. Never too busy to listen to the ery of need. The thoughtful child on her way from the spring with a pitcher of water in her hand looked at the parched, dust mantled and drooping flower by the wayside, and in her pity for {t tipped her pitcher, and a gentle stream washed the dust from its leaves, refreshed its stem and invigor- ated its roots, As it lifted itself once more to the sun, its renewed life mado her heart gayer and her feet lighter, while the little that she had donated from her vessel had left her more than she needed for her home. ‘vip your heart a little ant et its sympathy roll out in blessings to those who aro weak and weary, They will be blessed fn receiving, but yeu will be doubly blessed in giving, Yet @ve not for your own sake, but for their sakes.

The horrors and sufferings attendant on that war have struck the imagination of the French, and deep ened the growing unpopularity of war in society of all grades, which is al. ready matter of serious concern to the military chiefs, The people abhor the {dea of being dragged into a cam- paign—a feeling which, if it contin- ues, will affect all the politics of the worl. France, in fact, will cease to be the state suspected by statesmen of an intention to disturb order. Many circumstances, says the London Spectator, tend to confirm this judg: ment, but we have still to discover whether the change is permanent or is only @ passing mood. It is a little ‘difficult to believe that the vivid his tory of France has ended; but it is ‘certain that the great and growing ‘Socialist party cares little about the ‘fleet, and wishes to convert the army Pod @ purely defensive force, organ. {zed on the Swiss plan. Only, will hot the rise of a great leader, the ap pearance of some object of ambition or the reception of some insult re ‘move all that appreciation of peace’ pore | ARBITRATION VERSUS WAR. There, indeed, is one great point of superior value of arbitration over war. It settles things, says the New York Tribune. A war within a nation may settle something. Ono between two sovereign powers does not. ‘The very next year another war may be started over the very same issue to undo the effects of the former one just as ‘France began planning immediately ‘after 1871 for her “revanche” and for ‘the reversal of the verdict of the "Terrible Year.” Hut there is no such planning to undo the work of arbitra: tion. The verdict of an arbitral tri- bunal stands, It sets a precedent by which not only the nations concerned but others are thereafter guided, and whieh Serves to determine the settle- ‘ment of subsequent disputes. It is in ea sense that the progress of arbi tration {s most real and substantial and {s most fraught with the promise of peace and justice for the world. CHRISTIANITY AND CASTE IN INDIA, Although a professed follower of Christ, Swam! Dharmananda, accord: ing to the London Spectator, blames the Christian missstonaries in India for addressing themselves so largely to the lowest castes. ‘The terms in which he speaks of the butchers, sweepers, Chamars and the like who are embracing Christianity are char: acteristic of the attitude of the high born Hindu, ‘The intellectual Indian can admire everything in Christ except his asso: ciation with publicans and sinners. ‘The gospel has many charms for him, but they are sadly impaired by the fact that the common people hear tt gladly. ‘The feeling is not merely one of disapproval, It frequently rises to bitter resentment, as in the case of an Indian acquaintance of mine who could never speak on the subject of hative Christians without anger. His mild face would fire and his deferen {lal voice deepen with indignation as he sald: “I hate them! T hate them!" This, too, from one who was a dill gent student of the New ‘Testament, particularly of the fourth gospel, and who avowed belief in the divinity of Jesus. ROOT OF A FRANCHISE BRIBERY. ‘There could be no robbery without bribers. If men are sent to Jail, as they ought to be, for selling public franchises, what of the responsibility of those who buy the franchises? ‘The heads of a great corporation look upon this whole matter from a commercial stondpoint only, It is not only cheap er to buy what they want from the rascals than to promote the election of honest men, but often they can buy them. It Is only when the demands become exorbitant, or the rascals do not "stay bought,” that they take an interest In the character of the candt- dates, Ethical considerations do not enter Into their calculations, As pri vate citizens they may even recog nize bribery as a crime and deplore ita practice. As corporation officers they must “take the world as they find it."—Philadelphia Ledger. NEGLECT OF PUBLIC DUTY. The question 1s naturally asked: “Why and how are bad men in office {f the people do not put them there?" The simple truth ts that the people do put them there, IT the city govern: ment 1s made up of thieves and ras- cals it Is because the alleged best elt- {zens put them in office cither by vot: ing for them or by failing to vote against them. The failure to vote 1s the erime of the American citizen, These same citizens kecp careful enough watch over their money, their property and their private business, They take great pains to see that their employes are honest and faith- ful, and they do all in thelr power to keep robbers out of labor bank vaults end strong boxes.

Of course the people of the state of Missouri are rejoicing over the signal and unusual victory achieved last Tuesday. But had the victory been more complete the rejoicing would have been more intense. Walbridge made a gallant fight for the governorship. The Republican party should reward him in any way that is possible in accordance with his desire. The Negroes for the past two elections have been more loyal than ever to the Republican party and of course they are doing some deep thinking just now. The people of Missouri have placed the Republicans in power that they may remedy the evils which have been running rampant for the past quarter of a century. Now let them prove equal to the task. Every official-elect on the county ticket is a man of character and ability—and the people may rest assured that the affairs of the county will be conducted in a manner that will yield entire satisfaction on the part of the citizens and tax payers. The Germ Scare In France. It has been recommended by the French health authorities of Paris that laundry articles be conveyed in closed bags, and that all clothes be first disinfected before they are washed. The washerwomen are to use rubber gloves for their own protection. A Family Day. In the church a Suscany, Austria, Herr and Frau Debos, senior, celebrated their golden wedding; their son Mathias and his wife their silver wedding; and the latter's daughter was married, all on the same day. Another grandchild of the old people, the bride's brother, read the service as priest for the first time. Divorces in Japan. Divorces in Japan, which can be obtained on the most trivial pretension, have somewhat diminished in number in recent years, but they still occur at the rate of one to every three marriages. In 1902 there were 349,489 marriages and 113,498 divorces. All Depends on the Man. A man is king or slave every moment of his life. He is either conquering or being conquered—victor or vanquished. Either the man or the brute is always on the throne. When the man steps down the beast steps up. Bible Comes First. In scores of instances the Bible is the only literature of a language. Often a language is first reduced to literary form in order to produce a Bible. THE COLORED BROTHER AT WORK. By Samuel E. Moffett. 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 2,943 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, book binders, engravers, printers, tailors, engineers, photographers, glovemakers—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 boilermaker, th trunkmaker and the patternmaker. 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 Filipinos 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. 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 sems to have developed a big stick of its own, to hold over American citizens of the African race. Qualification for Brides. Surgeon-General Evatt of the British army said in a lecture that when a clergyman engaged in marrying a couple asks whether any one present knows of any reason why the parties before him should not be joined in matrimony, the objection, "the bride can't cook," ought to be enough ' at least postpone the wedding. Felting Made in Polynesia. Felting was invented by Polynesian savages, and brought by the Hawaiian natives to a perfection we have never excelled. They not only made coverings for their houses and blankets out of felt, but by pounding the inner bark of certain trees succeeded in producing soft and comfortable seamless garments of this material, such as sleeveess coats and cloaks.

The young man tosses the apple up in the air. If it comes down, he kisses the girl. If it stays up, he doesn't. After the apple wears out new apples may be substituted. There is no time limit to the game—Atlanta Journal. every man she met. As M. Leon Victor was passing along the Boulevard St. Michael, Paris, a woman attacked him and bit his ear off. He is now dangerously ill of blood poisoning. The woman said she had been jilted, and was determined to wreak her vengeance on every man she met. Babies Carried in Boots Gypsies carry their babies in old shawls slung over their shoulders and tied about the waist. North American Indians carry their babies on the backs of squaws—eradle and all. But the Eskimo women of Labrador carry their babies in their boots. These boots come up to the knee and are wide at the top, with a flap in front. In these the little brown babies live and are happy. Bank Sets Style for Clerks. A bank clerk writes to the London Chronicle stating that he is afraid the irritation caused by his high collar will produce a cancer under his chin. But he does not know what to do, "for," he says, "I dare not assuage my anxiety by resorting to the low or turned-down variety, for I am sure I should be immediately dismissed from my bank." Radium Retains Powers. Tests have been made in Vienna with pitch-blende which was taken from the ground as long ago as 1807, 1814 and 1853, and the strength and quality of the radium in these samples has been found to be identical with that in a portion of pitch-blende only newly extracted—a fact which further proves that the powers of radium incur no diminution with time. Palestine a Land of Flowers. Palestine is a land of flowers. Botanists tell us that there are 2,500 different kinds. The eastern sun gives the colors a brightness they seldom have in our hazy clime. The wild flowers are somehow localized, so that acres, and, indeed, miles take their hue from a single flower. The Arkansas Notion. "Eh-Yah!" drawled Mr. Plunk Jarlick, a prominent but moss-grown citizen of the great commonwealth of Arkansas. "Wife trains the children up in the way they should go, when she ain't got nothin' else to do; but I'm yer to say that it takes about all the time of a tollable smart man to complete the ederication of a good huntin' dog."—Puck. Casting a Gloom. "Yes, for local talent, it was a first-rate entertainment," said the suburban resident, "and we made several hundred dollars for the hospital fund, but there was one little hitch. The town undertaker was down for a tenor solo, and he insisted on singing 'I'm Waiting for Thee.'"—New York Sun, Most Popular Names. William, Mary, John, Elizabeth, Thomas, George, Sarah, James, Charles, Henry, Alice, Ann, Joseph, June, Ellen, Emily, Annie Frederick, Margaret, Emma, Robert, Arthur, Alfred, Edward, these, in the order given, are the most popular Christian names. ```markdown ``` Wabas ST. I COMMENCING Leave KANSAS CITY. Pipe a Savage Invention. Pipe a Savage Invention. A purely savage invention, which is perhaps the most familiar object of modern life, is the tobacco pipe—not only the common clay which the North American Indians molded centuries ago out of the red sandstone of Colorado, but the wooden pipe, the prototype of the everyday briar. The Gypsy in Europe. Europe is the principal home of the gypsies. For centuries they have passed along the roads of the countries upon that continent in their rolling houses, calling themselves in their pride of race simply and superbly Roma, meaning the men. In France they are called Romanichels, but chiefly Bohemians. Sleep Through the Winter. Bats generally remain torpid throughout the winter months, while the African lung fish passes the whole of the dry season comfortably sealed up within a nest formed by the caked and dried mud of the river bed. In these cases the fast must accordingly be prolonged and of a severe type. Indian Cotton Weavers Cotton weaving has done more for Great Britain within the last century than any other one industry. The Indians of Central and South America have for centuries past used a loom so elaborate that ours is, comparatively speaking, but a slight improvement upon it. Longest Single Span of Wire. Longest Single Span of Wire. The longest single span of wire in the world is used for a telegraph line stretched over the River Kistuah, between Bezorah and Sectanaroum, India. It is over 6,000 feet long, and is carried from the top of one mountain to that of another. English Army Maneuvers English Army Maneuvers. Army maneuvers were recently held in the, southern part of England "under actual war conditions," and a scout of the invading army called at the Windsor postoffice to borrow a map of the district for his commanding officer. Use for Spurious Coins. Spurious coins are legally made in China. They are used to put in the coffins of the dead, and the superstition prevails that they make the dead happy. Counterfeit Victoria Crosses Counterfeit Victoria crosses are numerous in English curiosity shops. A real cross is worth about $300 as a curio, although its intrinsic value is not thirty cents. Occasions and Heroes. Occasions and Heroes. Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards—they simply unvell them to the eyes of men.—Bishop Westcott. IT STRAIGHTENED HER HAIR. Dear Sirs:—I inclose fifty cents for one bottle of Oxonized Ox Marrow. I have tried it and it is so wonderful for straightening kinky hair, I recommend it to all my friends."

While making excavations for the enlargement of a church at Rogiett, Monmouthshire, Eng., the other day, about a hundred skeletons were discovered. The bodies had apparently been buried in one grave. They are supposed to be the remains of victims of the plague, or of men who fell in a border raid. The skeletons have been reinterred. Persian Remedy for Extortion. They have curious methods in Persia of insuring law and order. A failure of the crops had resulted in a dear loaf, which much enraged the populace. In order to quell the tumult, the Shah ordered a number of bakers to receive several hundred strokes with a rod, besides a few minor little attentions, such as the amputation of an ear or two. A Good Catch. Fishing extraordinary is reported from the little town of Banyuls, in Brittany.

OVIATT·SHOE CO., 520 Minnesota Ave. Kansas City, Kan. 1105 Main St. TESTE UNIROGPLATE A Revery Here at mine ease long years ago. Ere yet my heart had grown to know The potency of woman's smile. I sat and smoked in bachelor style And basked before the ingle's glow. What cared I then for wind and snow? Let stormy blasts of winter blow. Careless I puffed my pipe the while Hero at mine ease. The times have changed. The long age Is but a dream, a fleeting show. No peaceful pipe; I cannot smile— Oh! how can I contrive my pile To cloth these dozen kids or so Here at my knees? -T. A. Daly in the Catholic Times. "And so you positively refuse to give up this intimacy?" "Really you ask too much, aunty. What else can I do in this stupid place? I am devoted to yachting, you know, and, besides, Mr. Trevor is the only man here who has a motor car." "But, my child, you are engaged to be married! What would Tom say if he should hear of it? And what would you do if he followed your example?" Berlin. However, I never dreamt of a such vision of lovliness as the piece of femininity whose acquaintance made yesterday. At this Flossie's blue eyes opened wide, she sat up, loosened her hold on the chocolates, and read on: "The object of my admiration is in her carriage alone and unattended just below my window. Suddenly he heard the rush of a runaway horse." "Oh, I wish he would! His devotion wearles me sometimes. He used to be quite a tease, but since our engagement he seems to have forswned everything exciting." The first speaker was Miss Treadway, the girl's aunt, a wealthy woman of forty years, who had adopted her after the death of her parents. Flosse's fiance, a young doctor of good family and some means, was completing a medical course in Germany, and they were to be married as soon as he received his foreign diploma. The girl loved him, but she was very young—only nineteen—and she was a willful maid, having always had her own way. Her besetting sin was love of admiration, and she deemed it essential to her happiness to have a man in her toils. So, being for the time bereft of her lover, she had drifted into a serious flirtation with a rich bachelor who lived near the seaside resort where they were staying. Mr. Trevor's summer home, a fine stone mansion overlooking the harbor, was the scene of many festivities. He had already given two dinners in Flosse's honor at which functions Miss Treadway had served as an unwilling chaperon. "Flosse," said Miss Treadway, "I think you ought to consider Mr. Trevor's feelings. It is not fair to him; he does not know about Tom. Perhaps you had better tell him?" "And spoil all my fun? Why, any, what a fuss you are making about a truife! I cannot mope here without men's society. Tom is in Germany, the sea divides us, and he is welcome to enjoy himself in like manner. However, there is no prospect of his doing anything so sensible." "Flossie, you are incorrigible!" exclaimed Miss Treadway as with much severity of tone as she was capable of. "I will leave you to your own thoughts, as I am due at a meeting at the rectory this afternoon." When she was alone Flossie curled her dainty self in a large easy chair and laughed softly as she recalled her aunt's words. "Lose Tom," she repeated. "No danger of that—couldn't get rid of him even if I wanted to." Then she fell to musing, and a tender look came into her deep blue eyes. "Dear Tom," she murmured. "I do love him. I wouldn't give him up for twenty Mr. Trevors!" She went to her desk, found a letter, and, having a fine sense of personal comfort, sank back into the depths of the chair, and with a box of chocolates in one hand, the letter in the other, began to munch sweets and read. At first her expression was slightly bored, then astonished, and finally she M. Fine sense of personal comfort. threw the sweets and the letter on the floor, flung herself face down on a couch and commenced weeping. The portions of Tom's letter which had produced such dire results ran as follows: "I had such a strange and exciting adventure that I feel it my duty to tell you all about it. You know that my hotel is in one of the best streets here, and that from my windows I can me much of the beauty and fashion of Berlin. However, I never dreamt of such a vision of loviness as the piece of femininity whose acquaintance I made yesterday." At this Flossie's blue eyes opened wide, she sat up, loosened her hold on the chocolates, and read on: "The object of my admiration sat in her carriage alone and unattended just below my window. Suddenly I heard the rush of a runaway horse from the opposite direction, and seeing her alarm I hastened down the steps and assisted her to the pavement. She smiled sweetly and was about to speak when her attendant re M. M. "Never mention that man to me again." turned and she re-entered the carriage and was rapidly driven away; not forgetting to throw me a kiss as she was lost to view. "The world seemed a blank without her" (here Flossie's expression became indignant); "I found on inquiry that she was staying at my hotel, and so had grounds for hope of a speedy meeting. That night for the first time in years my dreams were not of you alone, the beautiful blonde appeared to me more than once, always with that charming smile!" "Fancy!" exclaimed Flossie. "To-day the plot thickened, and however painful it may be for you to hear it, I feel it only honorable that you should know all particulars, and then judge for yourself if I am to blame. This morning I was seated near the front window reading. Keeping one eye on the street—you can easily imagine why—when there came a gentle tap at my door. "Thinking it was the walter, I shouted 'Come in!' The door opened, and, to my utter amazement, there stood the beautiful blonde, all smiles and blushes. After I had recovered from the delicious shock, which thrilled me from head to foot, I invited her to a scat on the sofa, and then endeavored to entertain this fairy guest to the best of my ability. You must not be shocked, dear, when I confess to you that we soon became great friends and that she came of her own accord and sat on my lap—" It was here that Flossie flung the obnoxious letter away from her and began to weep wildly, and she was so absorbed in her grief that Miss Treadway entered unobserved. "Why, what is this?" exclaimed her aunt. She bent over the prostrate form and said: "Flossie, dear; tell anty." The girl only cried the more, but at last wailed, "That man; that wicked, false man!" "Who do you mean?" asked the bewildered woman. "Tom! See the letter on the floor!" Mrs. Treadway picked up the letter, put on her glasses and began to read; at first she looked puzzled, then amused, and finally she laughed outright. "Why don't you finish the letter?" she asked, with a quizzical expression in her kindly eyes. "Because I won't!" cried Flossie, springing to her feet. "Never mention that man to me again. Where are my hat and my jacket? I am going to ride with Mr. Trevor at five, and if he asks me to marry him I will say 'yes.'" At this Miss Treadway only smiled. "There, there! Sit down and listen to poor old aunty, Nay, I insist. If I am not mistaken, you left off just when she sat on his lap." "Yest!" cried Flossie. "How can you bear to speak of it?" "Listen," interrupted Miss Tread- way. Flossie, awed by the unaccustomed severity of tone, obeyed. "She came down of her own accord and sat on my lap. Fortunately, I had a box of sweets, and I was offering her some when there came another tap at the door. Putting her hastily down, for I did not wish to be caught with a young lady in my arms, I opened the door, and there stood a stout French nurse, with a high white cap and apron, who asked anxiously if 'la petite Mademoiselle Helene' was within. And, Flossie, she sternly reprimanded my charmer for entering a strange gentleman's apartments uninvited, and she led the beautiful blonde away in tears—who, by the way, was just three years old, and it was from a baby carriage that I assisted her the day before!" By this time Flossie had ceased to weep, and, though much abashed, she could not restrain from joining in her aunt's laugh. "Flossie," said Miss Treadway later on, "how do you like the idea of Tom's flirting? And I believe I heard a malden say not long ago that she wished he would tease her as he used to do. How do you enjoy it?" "Spare me!" cried Flossie. "You know I don't like it. Oh, I wish we could go away from here. Mr. Trevor's attentions are so marked, and the worst of it is I now realize that I am to blame." "What do you say to a trip to Germany, for instance?" said Miss Treadway. "The very thing!" cried Flossie, all smiles. And the next week found them bound for the Fatherland—Louis K. Fulton in Chicago American. President Skillful With Foils According to Generso Pavese, said to be the champion fencer of the world, President Roosevelt has more ability with the foils than many of the foreign ministers and attaches in Washington who have handled the flexible steel roils since their youth. Signor Pavese has been instructing the president for the past year, and declares that he is his aptest pupil. For a time the lessons have been discontinued, he says, but they will be resumed about the middle of December. "Mr. Roosevelt," says the fencing master, "is wonderfully quick and is finely developed physically. His arms are rounded and sinewy—in fact, he is a perfect specimen of manhood." Caught the Women. Ralph Hulse, who is running for assemblyman in Trenton, N. J., has made a tremendous hit with the women of his district. While helping his wife with the family washing one day last week he attempted to empty a tub of water, but slipped and fell, spraining his back severely. He was to have attended a political meeting that night, but was unable to do so, being confined to bed. A brother spellbinder explained his absence, whereupon all the women present decided that such a husband should be elected. They are now working hard in the injured man's behalf. Ups and Downs in English The following telephone conversation, recently overheard between a woman whose home is in the suburbs and a business acquaintance of her husband, illustrates some of the curiosities of our language: Business acquaintance—Good morning, Mrs. —.

Avoid the Cheap and "Big Can" Baking Powders. The cheap baking powders have but one recommendation: they certainly give the purchaser plenty of power so they can be successfully made from inferior materials that they will not make light, wholesome food. Further, these cheap baking powders are so easy to use in the gas; therefore it is taken 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 not. 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. Calumet is always the same, keep indinitely and gives the cook the least trouble.

The fifty-eighth report of the commissioner of lunacy, issued September 7, 1904, shows that in England and Wales, on January 1, last, 117,199 persons were certified as insane, being 3,235 in excess of the number on the same day in 1903. This increase is comparable with that of 3,251 in 1902, 2,769 in 1901, and 1,333 in 1900, the average annual increase in the ten years ended December 31, 1903, being 2,513. Private lunatics numbered 9,551 on January 1 last, including 297 who were maintained by the state in naval and military hospitals, and 501 who were found insane by inquisition. Pauper patients numbered 106,771 and criminal patients 877. On January 1 last, the total number of certified insane was to the estimated population of England and Wales in the proportion of 1 to 288, or 34.7 per 10,000 population. Last year the ratio was 34.14. In 1894 the proportion of insane to the total population was 32.7 per 10,000. Germany Helps Russia. The steady removal of troops from the Russian western frontier, evidently made possible by an understanding between thezar and the German emperor, is one of the most disquieting features of the European situation. In England this is looked upon as an act ofbad faith and a source ofacute danger to the peace of the world. It is declared in Germany that this understanding over the frontier does not go to the point of actual assistance. It is, however, an attitude of the greatest military advantage to Russia, as it allows theczar to leave his chain ofWestern forts unoccupied and permits him to take some of his finest regiments to the relief ofKuropatkin. To say that this is not helping Russia is to quibble with words, although it may be that this sort of negative assistance does not disrupt existingofficial relations. Best in the World.

Justice Harlan has a queer humor of his own. He is a member of the faculty of the Columbia Law school, and a night or two ago was talking at the school with Judge Peele, of the district court, of crimes. "I wish," said Judge Peele, "that you would have your clerk send me copies of some of the recent decisions of the supreme court." "All right," Justice Harlan replied. Then he asked abruptly, "Do you want those cases in which I rendered dissenting opinions?" "I assume some of the cases come under that head," said Judge Peele. "You frequently do dissent, you know." "I shall not send them," snorted Judge Harlan. "I shall not be responsible for the dissemination of such law as appears in those majority opinions to which I have dissented." He Was Afraid. In Atlanta, recently, a darky was leaving an optician's place with a pair of new spectacles. As the old chap neared the door his eye lighted upon a most extraordinary looking instrument conspicuously placed upon a counter. The venerable negro paused for several moments to gaze in open mouthed wonder at this thing, then turning to the optician he asked: "What is it, boss?" "That is an ophthalometer," replied the optician in his gravest manner. "Sho!" muttered the old man to himself, as he backed out of the door, his eyes still fastened upon the curious-looking thing on the counter; "sho', dat's what I was afeared it was!"

BOGUS COIN MAN SHREWD. Passes His Counterfeits as Counterfeits Among His Victims. Several secret service men were talking about the artful ways of counterfeiters. "The most ingenious bogus coin man I ever struck was a fellow who passed counterfeit money as counterfeit," remarked the detective, "He never made any pretense that his stuff was genuine. His game was to make a small purchase in a store, tendering a bill in payment. Later in the day he would reappear at the place and produce a fairly good counterfeit half dollar which he would slam down on the counter with a great show of indignation. "Is this the kind of money you give in change to your customers?" he would angrily demand. "The storekeeper would remember that the man had been in before, but nine times out of ten he couldn't be positive about the change he had given him, and the bluff would work, for, of course, the counterfeit had not been received there. That was just the foxy 'shover's' scheme for working off his bogus coin. In nearly every place where he made a purchase a good half dollar would be given for the counterfeit. "The scheme worked well in a number of big cities, but we finally landed the chap with a big bunch of the counterfeit coin on him. He gave us lots of trouble at first, for you see we couldn't get evidence that he was passing bad money because his scheme seemed to put that up to the storekeepers." UNDER CLOAK OF RELIGION. Colored Lady Demolished Finery Belonging to Rival. An old colored mammy, who had served the mistress of a Baltimore family many years, was telling that lady's daughter some of her own personal experiences in her younger days. Mammy was known as "Aunty Prior" to the household and as "Sis Prior" to fellow-negroes on the plantation. She had a small grudge against one, Emeline Dorsey, a fellow servant, but bided her time for revenge. The opportunity came when Emeline appeared at meeting in a new Easter bonnet, and Sis Prior, catching a glimpse of it, seated herself directly behind the wearer in the church. Every time the speaker paused in his address, Sis Prior uttered a fervent "Amen!" By degrees she began to rock backward and forward, and finally the spirit moved her to lay violent hands upon the finery adorning Emeline Dorsey's head. "I just grabbed that hat off that deceitful nigger's head," she told her hearer, "and tramped it and tramped it, and all the girls yelled 'Emeline! Emeline! Look what she do to your bonnet!' And Emeline say, 'I guess I have to 'suse Sis Prior; she done got religion and don't know what she's doing;' but," said this arch hypocrite, with a quiet chuckle, "Sis Prior done knew mighty well what she was doing." Characteristics of the Sikha Gen. Gordon, a British officer who has written a book on the Sikhs, the celebrated fighters of India, says that the signs by which you may know a Sikh are these: He never cuts his hair, but wears his beard looped up over his ears; he never smokes nor touches tobacco, because that is the privilege of the Mohammedan, but he is allowed to drink spirits and is a great consumer of opium. Finally, he must have about his person the five K's, which Gen. Gordon thus enumerates: Kes (long hair of the head), as the Sikh must never cut his hair or beard; kangi (comb), to secure the hair tied up in a knot on top of the head; kacch (breeches reaching to the knee); kard (knife), and kirpan (sword). A story is told of a Japanese who was in one of the great engineering works in England, learning what he could. A new gun was in process of manufacture for the British government. The Japanese made innumerable memoranda on tiny fragments of paper. All these he carried away each night. They proved to relate to the measurements of the new gun then in process of manufacture. By the time the weapon was ready to be tested by experts the full particulars of its make and capacity, laboriously pieced together from the myriad fragments of paper, were in the hands of the Japanese government at Tokyo. Totems for Indian Graves. Two marble tombes, to mark the graves of Indian chiefs, at Haines, Alaska, are almost completed at Tacoma. The monuments are to supplant the old wooden tombes, carved by the Indians themselves. They are made on the same lines as the former tombes and represent the same tribal superstitions and legends. One is a large bear, sitting on its haunches, but having in place of a bear's head a grotesque head with staring eye, and grinning mouth. The figure is of white marble and the eyes and mouth are lined with gold leaf. The other tootem is a shaft of pure white marble surmounted by a marble fish of the whale-killer type. To All But Youth.

Reynolds, superintendent of an Eastern bridge company, is a resident of Kingston, N. Y., and 40 years old, but will cast his first presidential vote next Tuesday, although he has been trying to vote ever since coming of age. Until this year he has never lived long enough in one place to acquire legal residence. In the past twenty years he has lived in every state and territory of the Union except California, Nevada and Arizona, but never over six months. On election day he will have been a resident of Kingston thirteen months and of New York state for two years. A Big Young Giant. The history of Moses Warner Butler, probably the tallest boy in America for his age, is as follows: He was born April, 1890, on Pilgrim Hill farm, two miles east of Horn, Neb. thus making him about 14 years old. His height is 6 feet 2 inches. He is a grandson of Colonel Jesse F. Warner, one of the earliest settlers of Dakota county. His great-grandfather, Rev. Moses Warner, was one of the earliest Methodist ministers of Nebraska. His father, R. C. Baner, is in business in Canada. The boy is attending the high school at Lyons, and is proficient in vocal and instrumental music. QUICK RESULTS. W. cord. W. J. Hill, of Concord, N.

I used them for disordered kidneys and backache, from which I had experienced a great deal of trouble and pain. The kidney secretions were very irregular, dark colored and full of sediment. The pills cleared it all up and I have not had an ache in my back since taking the last dose. My health generally is improved a great deal." FOSTER MILBURN CO., Buffalo, N.Y.

Meserve, of Salisbury, Mass., was cured of Anaxia, a disease in which there is an actual deficiency of the blood, by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People She says: "The first symptom was an unusual paleness. Later the blood seemed to have all left my body. Had shortness of breath and fluttering of the heart; was depressed, morose and peevish. I suffered for two years. Physicians did me little good but I am now a well woman because I took twelve boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." These pills really make new blood and have cured obstinate cases of rheumatism, scrofula and erysipelas. They are especially useful to growing girls. Sold by all Droggats.

Old stair carpet can be turned to good account as follows: First shake it well and cut away the bad parts and with the best of it make pads for doubling short lengths and tacking them at the edge of each step where the tread comes before laying the new carpet. This will make a new carpet wear twice as long and also make it very soft to walk upon, says the Brooklyn Times. Quells Hunger and Thirst. In Peru is found a singular plant, capable of quelling hunger or thirst for several days. It is named erythroxylon cora. A decoction of one hundred grains of this plant produces this effect for forty-eight hours, the muscular energy being preserved. The plant appears to narcotize the nerves of the stomach and suspend the digestive functions, without affording nutriment. Doctoring by Contract. The French department of Lot and Garonne has made a remarkable innovation. There are 126 doctors in the department, and a contract has been made with them to look after the health of the poor people in the district for an annual payment of $10,000. The doctors engage to give their services irrespective of the number of people who desire them.

French Tobacco Monopoly. Keeping a tobacco shop in France is a position greatly coveted by gentlewomen in reduced circumstances. The sale of tobacco being a state morally, the government generally bestows the right to keep a bureau de tabla on the widows and daughters of officers and government officials.
