The Rising Son

Rising Son It Pays to Advertise in the Rising Son for it Reaches More Homes of Colored Peop.e than any other Paper in the State. VOLUME X. INDEPENDENCE, MO., ITEMS. Mr. William Griggs died this, Monday, afternoon. Easter services were held at all the churches. Mrs. P. Scott has gone to Kentucky to visit her parents, who are both very feeble. The school concert, given last Friday night was largely attended. Miss Lessie St. Clair, one of last years graduates, is learning to be a dressmaker. We are glad to know that some of the class intend to do something. Two of them taught school and one is attending school, four of the other seven may be seen on the streets at anytime, the other three are at home. St. Ann's court elected officers last week, or I might say elected a matron, as she was the only officer elected by ballot, others were elected by standing votes and acclamation. As usual St. Ann's has a question. I suppose the Grand court must decide. If the court fails to pay a sick sister her sick benefits and she dies, has the court the right to pay the money to relatives. It is the courts fault that the money was not paid, the sister was a worthy member and she should have had her dues weekly, and then there would not have been no need of the court fussing and wrangling over the dead woman's rights. One sister said we buried her, and that was enough. She should remember a few weeks back there was money paid in her family, without even a report from the sick committee. The court has also adopted the certificate plan, no money is to be paid without a doctor's certificate. We find that a sister always gets more money because the doctor writes the certificate from the time he makes his first visit and perhaps three weeks elapses before he is called again. One sister asked the sick committee for three weeks dues, but the certificate called for seven weeks, another asked for two weeks, her certificate called for four weeks, so you see it don't pay to work spite work. Mrs. Sallie Rogers' class is doing fine. Three Easter hats were completed and worn Sunday. We wish them success. We hope the treasurer of St. Ann's court elected will keep her own books and then the secretary will have less to do and then only one person will be responsible for shortage in money. Mrs. B. Bryant and Master Rhodney of Pleasant Hill, Mo., spent Sunday with friends in this city. LEXINGTON NEWS. Rev. Dickinson of Oklahoma Territory preached at the Second Baptist church Sunday morning and evening. Rev. Norse of Sedalia preached at the Second Baptist church Wednesday night. His sermon was good and instructive along all lines. We think that they would not make a mistake if they would call him for their pastor. Quarterly meeting was held at St. John Sunday. Presiding Elder Smith preached an excellent sermon at 3 o'clock. Everybody that was there enjoyed the sermon. The Knight Templars had their annual sermon preached at the A. M. E. church Sunday morning by Rev. A. A. Gilbert which was quite interesting. At night the Easter program was rendered by the Sunday school and choir which was grand. Elder Gilbert and the teachers deserves much credit for their work in this particular. One of the young ladies who rendered a piece would make a fine elocationist if she continues. They raised for foreign mission $21.60. The Easter program of the M. E. church will be rendered next Sunday night on the account of quarterly meeting it was postponed. Rev. Clark pastor subscribed for the Rising Son. Dr. J. D. Ball went to Kansas City Sunday morning to visit his wife who is there in the hospital for treatment. We hope that she will soon be able to come home. Miss Amelia Johnson went to Kansas City Sunday to learn hair braiding. We think that all young people, that possible, ought to learn a trade, and learn to put something on the market by making something and not depend upon the whites to make every thing and we pay their prices for it. I glory in the young lady's energy and she ought to be encouraged and all others of our race who attempts to do anything to elevate. The case of Dr. Brown of Higginsville was tried last week by Lawyer Phillips the colored lawyer of Sedalia. Mrs. A. W. Lloyd the G. C. of the Knights of Pythias for the purpose of organizing a lodge which will be organized pretty soon. Mr. Wilson of Sweet Springs was here Sunday. Mrs. Heneretta Richards of Independence was here Sunday. Misses Miller of Sweet Springs was the guests of Miss Julia Radd Sunday. Mr. Joseph Bowles of Kansas City was here Sunday visiting his mother and friends. Mr. Gus Hearle is still working to build the bridge. He is a gentleman that never gives up a business proposition and if there is any way the bridge will be built. Miss Nannie Hawkins went to Kansas city Monday evening to spend a few days. Mr. Abraham Carter is still quite ill. Mrs. Green White is not expected to live, also Mr. Wm. Jenkins. You that owe for the Rising Son please pay up especially you that owe for one two and a part of three years. Twenty-five and 50c don't pay up a year and two years subscription. Electra Chapter No 1 will celebrate its 24th anniversary May 12th. We expect the Grand Matron, Grand Secretary, Past Grand Patron to lecture on the history of the Grand Chapter of Missouri. There will be a prize given to the one who sells the largest number to tickets or brings in the most money. Everybody is asked to assist them. Mr. John Walker and wife of Kansas City was here Sunday visiting their parents. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, NOTES. Rev. Anderson returned to his home in Springfield, Ill., after conducting a ten days' revival meeting with Rev. Mitchell of the First Baptists church, 5th and Nebraska avenue. The meetings were well attended. The sanctified band joined in and rendered material assistance to the cause. Miss Caroline Mills of 1013 Walker avenue, was married Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock to Mr. John Isaac Davis. Rev. Mitchell officiated. The happy couple is located at the home of the bride on Freeman avenue. We wish the couple a happy voyage over the sea of life. Mr. James Strother is on the sick list this week.

Mrs. Maggie Jackson of 444 Freeman avenue and Mrs. Edith Edmond of 443 Freeman avenue are on the sick list this week. Mr. Will Pollard who has been absent from home a year or more has not returned. Any information as to his where-abouts will be gladly received. The following persons went to Lawrence, Kan., last Thursday to attend the wedding of Miss Pearl Price: Mrs. Fannie Tevalt, Miss Daisy Moberly, Miss Minnie Jackson, Mr. James Stewart and Mr. George Payne. We with the couple a happy voyage through life. Mary Queen of Scots The bride is a cousin of Miss Minnie Jackson. The happy crowd returned after the conclusion of the wedding ceremonies. The ball game between the Western University and the high school boys was a spirited contest and was conducted without disturbance of any kind. The score stood 24 to 9 in favor of the Western University. The schools attended in a body. At the beginning of the game the high school boys played well, but toward the closing the University boys played aggressively and carried everything their way. The Juvenile Choir gave a concert at the First A. M. E. church on Wednesday night, April 26th. The St. John A. M. E. Sunday school gave a very pleasing program on Easter Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The choir gave a sacred concert Easter night. Rev. Lena Mason preached at the Pleasant Green Baptist church on Thursday and Friday nights, April 27th and 28th. The Hon. Gardner Lathrop addressed the members of the Commercial club last Tuesday evening. He was banquetted on Wednesday evening by the Commercial club. The Negroes for once have taken a brave stand in Coffeyville, Kan., in connection with the outrage on the part of the whites in commanding that all Negroes leave the town. It is a fact that many of the crimes committed are justly laid at the door of the black white man. Money is not everything when you have money, but when you have no money it is everything. The Annual Installation of the United Sons of Allen was held at the residence of Brother S. H. Smith's, 610 East 6th street, Friday evening, April 21. The ceremonies were performed by Rev. F. Jesse Peck. The following brethren were installed; Brother B. F. Cargyle, Senior; Brother S. H. Smith, Junior; Brother C. D. Frazier, Father Allen; Wm. Rice, Senior Clerk; E. A. Hackley, Senior Banker, Corresponding Clerk and Senior Clerk absent. There were four new members added to the roll in the persons of A. L. Cox, J. W. Meyers, S. R. Robinson, J. W. Avant.

The meeting adjourned to be entertained in their regular monthly meeting by Brother W. P. Lee at the residence of Brother B. F. Cargyle, 815 Brooklyn avenue, Thursday evening, May the 4th. B. F. CARGYLE, S. B. B. F. WRIGHT, S. C. BISHOP H. M. TURNER. Bishop Henry McNeil Turner, senior Bishop of the A. M. E. Church, the most powerful Negro Methodist organization in the world. He was made Bishop at the general conference of his church, which met in St. Louis, May, 1880, and on the 18th of May, 1905, the St. Paul A. M. E. Church will celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of his elevation to the bishopric. Extensive preparations are being made for the event. NOTICE OF SPECIAL ELECTION.

For a love letter written by Robert Burns, the Scottish poet, $50 was paid not long ago. Yet a brass collar which was worn by Boatswain, the dog to whose memory Lord Byron erected a monument at Newstead abbey, fetched 21 guineas, while the collar of Thunderer, another of Lord Byron's dogs, realized 4 guineas only. Reasoning by Logic. Ethel, aged 6, is just learning to spell and is much rejoiced over her progress. She announced with great glee to her father, the other evening, that she knew how to spell "in," and proved the assertion. A few minutes later she inquired, with a puzzled air: "Papa, does 'in' backwards spell 'out'?" Boyish Indiscretion. A Pittsburgh boy who left home to pose as a man was discovered wearing trousers much too large for him. This was easy for the police. If he had been a real man, he would have worn trousers entirely too tight for him, such as so many fashion plates foist on buyers--Buffalo Sypress. Lives of Different Meaning It is noble to be alive to the little- ness of earth, but it is nobler to be come impressed with its greatness; to the animal life it is only a pasture ground; to ordinary men it is the com- monsplace world; but to him who lives above it it becomes a shining moon. Mean Fliing at Scotchmen. A man who says he is an Englishman writes to, the Westminster Gazette that he has learned that in 1567 there were only thirty-six Scots in London, and that he now knows the meaning of the expression, "the good old times." Islands Have Disappeared. The "Royal Company's Islands," supposed to be in the Pacific ocean, have been removed from the maps of the Hydrographic Institute of the British Admiralty because all efforts to find them have failed. Easy. The teacher had been talking about a hen sitting on eggs, and, with the incubator in his mind, asked if eggs could be hatched in any other way. "Yes, put 'em under a duck," was the response. Women Workers of London. There are in actual practice in London five women builders, two women architects, seven women house painters and dozens of women who are employed as internal house decorators. First Artificial Teeth. It has been found that false teeth were used by the people who lived in 1000 B.C. These teeth were made of ivory and fastened to an ivory plate by means of a fine gold wire. Austrian Old Age Pensions. Under the Austrian poor law every man 60 years old is entitled to a pension equal to one-third the amount per day which he has earned during his working days. First Pantomime. The first regular English pantomime is said to have been "Harliebuck Executed," produced at the Lincoln's Inn Fields theater, Dec. 26, 1717. Lake Disappears. Lake Chad is gradually drying up, and recent researches tend to show that its complete disappearance is only a question of time. A knocker is a back-biter with false teeth. TOP HOSMANS EVE Bride's Shirt Waist. Here is the description of a shirt waist which was just completed for one of the loveliest brides of the month: The waist, which was in pale blue linen, was embroidered upon the front with white garden pinks, each pink raised by padding. The embroidery was done in mercerized linen. The waist was buttoned with large, blue linen buttons, flat, with a pink worked on top of each and raised by padding. The stock was in blue with raised pinks running around it. At the front there were tabs embroidered and shaped like carnations. And on each cuff there were stuffed or padded pinks wrought out in the most beautiful manner. This waist, which was far from being an expensive waist, was so tastefully planned, and so prettily executed, that it took its place with the handsome waists of the trousseau. Another one was executed along similar lines, but was in sheer linen, the flowers being roses and the contrasting color a very deep rose shade. The buttons in this case were smaller and each had a pink button rose worked on top. Ribbons on Everything. One of the most suggestive features of the hour is the employment of ribbon as a trimming. It ranges all the way from the tiny comet ribbon to the wide, soft sash ribbon. Ribbons will be much used on summer gowns, and there will be any number of striped and shaded ribbons used for decoration. Sashes and girdles will reign supreme, belts having gone out of date since the appearance of pointed bodies. Very narrow comet or baby ribbon is used either as embroidery or in shirred designs. For example, a ruffle of broad ribbon may be trimmed with several rows of very narrow ribbon put on in the form of a tiny ruching. Another trimming is made by shirring the ribbon on both edges and applying it like a scant puff. Not a few of the cashmere cloth gowns that have recently made their appearance are trimmed with shirred ribbon. To Make Chocolate Fudge Grate two squares of unsweetened chocolate, mix with two and a half cups of light brown sugar, one scant cupful of milk and a piece of butter half as large as an egg, and put all over the fire; boil hard five minutes after it commences to cook, stirring all the time; remove from the fire and beat until the fudge is smooth, heavy and cool enough to hold itself perfectly in shape; as it begins to cool, add a teaspoonful of vanilla; pour on a well-buttered plate to the depth of three quarters of an inch, and check in squares. Pretty Viennese Walking Skirt There is nothing that adds more to a woman's comfort than a well-fitting and modish walking skirt. The Viennese skirts have a world wide reputation, and the model from which our sketch of to-day was made is especially smart and practical. It was selected from among a number of beautiful designs just received from a famous modiste of Vienna. This skirt is made up in a soft silky mohair, in a charming shade of blue that is just dark enough so that it will not show soil easily. The front gore is formed of a box plait with a single backward turning plait at each side. Box plaits with a single forward turning plait at each side form the back. Half way down the seams of the side gores inverted ```markdown ``` box plaits are set in, giving a graceful flare to the bottom of the skirt. The top of this plait is finished with six large buttons. Almost any light weight woolen material could be effectively made up after this model. Spurs to the Appetite. It makes the mouth water to look at it. And to taste it, oh my, you cry for more. Pare and core six goods-sized apples and stick cloves all around the top near the opening of each; put in a pan in the oven, add half a cup of sugar water and bake till done; put the peels and cores in a sauce-pan, cover with water and boll till tender; strain through a jelly bag, return the juice to saucepan and boll twenty minutes; then add for each pint of juice one pound of sugar and boil ten minutes; remove the apples to a glass dish; pour the apple jelly over them and serve cold. Stewed figs with cream are good, too. Before preparing figs always wash in warm water, rubbing gently between the fingers until the skins are supple. A great deal of dirt comes away. Drain off the water, cover with fresh cold water and let the figs soak for two hours before setting the pot over the fire to stew them. Mauve Silk Waist: Blouse of mauve taffeta, made with tucks at the top and bottom. It is cut in scallops around the neck, ornamented with buttons and cord loops, and finished at the bottom with re- 1 vers of violet velvet. It opens in front over a wasteat of pale yellow silk, and the chemisette is of lace. The sleeve puffs are plaited at the bottom, passing under deep cuts cut in scallops at the top, where they are ornamented with the buttons and loops, and are finished at the wrists with lace ruffles. Sweets to the Sweet. Somehow prunes are among the good things which we don't respect as much as we should. Just take six large cooking apples, pare, plunge in cold water, then put over the fire with the juice of two lemons and half a pound of sugar. When stewed split and stone two and a half pounds of prunes and stew with the apples, taking care that there is sufficient water to keep them from burning. When thoroughly cooked heat through a strainer and turn into jars for use. A little novelty now and then helps along. Oranges scooped from the skin and white membrane are twice as appetizing as when sliced. All the fiber that is bitter is thus removed. The pulp and juice may be served in the half skins as grape fruit so often appears, or from the glass serving dish. The orange pulp and juice is delicious mixed with bananas, pine apples or maraschino cherries. Many Designs to Choose From: Of shirt waist frocks in linen there is no end, and many of the prettiest are fashioned from robe patterns, embroidered in open work or English embroidery. In very fine material and design these, of course, come high, but surprisingly good patterns may be found at moderate prices. A pretty frock of this sort was of fine white linen, and one may run all the gamut from the sheerest and finest linen to the coarsest and roughest of crash, though the open-work embroidery is best upon firm white material. Open work embroidery upon lawn, mull, batiste, &c., is also extremely fashionable for femininity of all ages, and some of the loveliest of the frocks for young girls have full skirts made from deep flouncing of such embroidery, while the blouse is of plain stuff with trimming of narrow embroidery. Baked Brown Bred. Two cups sour milk, one-half cup molasses, two teaspoons soda, one teaspoon salt, two cups graham flour, one-half cup corn meal, one-half cup wheat flour. Stir milk and molasses together, add the soda dissolved in a little boiling water, then stir in graham and meal until free from lumps. Pour into small tin cans such as baking powder comes in filling them half full. Bake in a moderate oven until done. It will surprise you to find how soft and light it will be. Now It's English Gaiters Overgaiters, which have been worn by smart women this winter, are a distinct adjunct to the spring toilet, such as browns and grays, but also in colors to match the gowns they are popular. While the idea savors of London town and anglomania, yet when so many young women wear low shoes, gaiters are not only permissible, but an actual necessity. Du Barry Hoods. Those fascinating Du Barry hoods which any girl who knows how to use a needle can readily fashion for herself, are making quite a furore for themselves, and fashioned in gauze and with a dainty silk lining, they are most being to any type of face. PROSPERITY PROTECTION LAST MONEY LAST PRICE LAST TRADE LAST REWARD WHAT SENATOR ALLISON'S ER- RAND WAS NOT. No Intention on the Part of the Senate Committee to Investigate Tariff Matters With a View to Action at an Extra Session of Congress. The New York reporter who was sent out to cover an assignment involving the task of finding out what "Uncle" William B. Allison, the venerable and venerated Senator from Iowa, was doing in New York with reference to the tariff, and how his plans were matured to bring about an early revision of the tariff schedules, had a contract which would have embarrassed the oldest living tariff expert in the business, even if the expert on terms of personal intimacy with Mr. Allison, and was commissioned to ascertain just what Mr. Allison's present relations to the tariff matters really were. Senator Allison does not go to New York to map out plans for tariff revision. He does not confer with anybody, except in whispers, as to the plans of the Senate Committee on Finance. Even members of that committee of august statesmen have much difficulty in obtaining a categorical answer from the Iowa Senator as to just what should be done and when it should begin. Senator Allison is the acting chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance in the absence of Chairman Nelson W. Aldrich, of Rhode Island. In Mr. Aldrich's absence Mr. Allison secured the passage in the Senate of the customary resolution authorizing the Senate Committee on Finance to sit during the recess between the last and the next Congress, at times and places convenient to the committee members, and to investigate government revenues and finances. Members of the committee, according to our well-informed Washington correspondent, including such influential Senators as Platt of Connecticut, and Spooner of Wisconsin, frankly contess that they do not know up to this time what will be done by the committee. Senator Allison upon his return to A BIRD IN THE HAND IS W PROTECTION Washington said he went to New York on private business; that he did not confer with business men as to the tariff situation or plans for changes in revenue matters. He asserts that nothing will be done by the committee until the return of Chairman Aldrich; that what is to be done will not be definitely outlined until there is a meeting of the committee later in the season. This being the fact as to what will be done has all the elements of speculation—and nothing more. It is perfectly safe, however, to speculate upon the prospects that the Senate Committee on Finance will look into matters relating to government finances. The reason for this assurance is the fact that certain members of the committee are in favor of action at an early date, and the facilities which the committee possesses for examining into existing conditions are such that from this examination, even without hearings and only by a careful study of revenues and their sources, trade and its prospects, as well as government expenditures, many valuable facts will be put in form for future reference. Whether as a result of such examination by the experts of the committee and of the Departments of Treasury and Commerce the members of the committee will come to change the opinions they now hold relative to tariff changes is of course only a matter of conjecture. The most interesting statement made by Senator Allison regarding the possible action of the Senate Committee on Finance during the summer sessions is one that will be borne in mind by all friends of the tariff sys- tem. That is, the whatever the committee shall do there will be no attempt to frame a tariff bill. Mr. Allison and his Republican colleagues on the committee are united in the opinion, which is undoubtedly shared by their Democratic brethren, that it would be an encroachment upon the now thoroughly recognized constitutional proxagative of the House of Representatives for the Senate to prepare and consider in advance a bill affecting the revenues of the government. Upon numerous occasions—once during the session of Congress which closed March 4 last—the Senate has gone on record as acquiescing in the doctrine that bills raising revenues must originate in the House of Representatives. But the Senators do not doubt their right to take such time and opportunity as may be presented for informing themselves as to facts of existing conditions, to examine into all these matters and be prepared to meet all issues which may be raised in connection therewith. Now that the question what is to be done is deferred until the return of Chairman Aldrich and a meeting of the members of the Senate Finance Committee, it is but natural and proper that interest should be maintained in the possibilities attending what the committee may later determine to do. The reason for this is, first, that the committee is authorized at least to investigate; second, President Roosevelt has strongly intimated his purpose to call Congress in special session about the first week in October, and, while he gives the railway rate question as the paramount issue for consideration at that time, he has remarked that he confidently expects that by October the two houses of Congress will be prepared to give consideration to changes in the tariff schedules. The question of the hour therefore is. What will the Senate Committee on Finance do, and will President Roosevelt's expectations regarding tariff changes be realized when the special session of Congress is called? So far as the committee is concerned it will doubtless secure from the administrative departments of the government and from the experts who deal with the facts and figures much important data as to trade conditions, revenues and expenditures. In carrying out the admitted policy of the Re- WORTH TWO IN THE BUSH. PROSPERITY LAND WALKS LAND PRICES FALL TRADE JANUARY NEWSPAPER publican party in dealing with tariff matters such a course may be pursued in order to ascertain whether changes in the tariff schedules are desirable, or additional revenues being required, how they shall be obtained. The idea of any committee of Congress rushing into so important a matter as changes in tariff schedules without a definite ascertainment of all existing facts, all the requirements of the government and of trade and industry, solely for the purpose of meeting a real or fancied matter of political expediency, would be the height of political and economic recklessness. As to the attitude of President Rosevelt and his expectations respecting the future, this fact is to be borne in mind: Some of the ablest and most influential members of both houses of Congress, including Speaker Cannon and conspicuous members of the Ways and Means and Finance committees which have to do with revenue policies in the initiative, are opposed to tampering with the tariff at this time or in the immediate futur. They do not believe that government revenues, political expediency or trade conditions call for such changes. Certain members of both committees, and so far as the Finance Committee is concerned, Senators Allison and Spooner, and tentatively at least Senator Aldrich, are on record as favoring certain modifications of the tariff. The prediction is ventured, however, that whatever course the Senate committee pursues during the summer, facts will not be ascertained warranting the fulfilment of President Rosevelt's expectations. --- FOOD VALUE OF FRUIT Prejudice Against Its Liberal Use Is Result of Erroneous Notions. There are many popular but unbounded prejudices against the dietic use of fruits. It is generally supposed, for example, that fruits are conducive to bowel disorders, and that they are especially prone to produce indigestion if taken at the last meal. The truth is the very opposite of these notions. An exclusive diet of fruit is one of the best-known remedies for chronic bowel disorders. During the late war, large numbers of the soldiers suffering from chronic dysentery were in several instances rapidly cured when abundantly supplied with ripe peaches. Fruit juice may be advantageously used in both acute and chronic bowel disorders. Care must be taken, however, to avoid fruit juices which contain a large amount of cane sugar. Juices or sweet fruits should be employed, or a mixture of sour and sweet fruit juices, or acid fruit juice may be sweetened with malt honey or meltose, a natural sweet produced from cereals. Raisins, figs, prunes, sweet apples and pears may be mixed with sour fruits. Indigestion sometimes results from the use of fruits in combination with a variety of other food substances; but fruits taken alone constitute the best possible menu for the last meal of the day. The combination of fruit, sugar, cream, bread, butter, cake and ple may well produce bad dreams and a bad taste in the mouth in the morning. The use of fresh or stewed fruit alone without any addition whatever will produce no disturbance, and will 'leave no unpleasant effects behind to be regretted in the morning. Very acid fruits sometimes disagree with persons who have an excess of acid and those who are suffering from chronic inflammation of the stomach; but with these exceptions, there is almost no case in which fruit may not be advantageously used. The notion that acid fruits must be avoided by rheumatics is another error which is based on inaccurate observations. The fact is, rheumatics are greatly benefited by the use of fruit. At the same time they should abstain from the use of flesh foods of all sorts, beef tea and animal broths, and all meat preparations, also tea and coffee, as well as alcohol and tobacco. It is, of course, possible for one to take an excess of acids, as one may take an excess of starch or any other food substances. Vegetable acids differ from mineral acids in the fact that they do not accumulate in the body, but are assimilated or utilized in the same way as sugar and allied substances. Diseased Cattle for Slaughter Diseased cattle for slaughter. A deliberate attempt to send a carload of diseased cattle for slaughter in New York was recently foiled by the State Agricultural Department. Word was received of the shipping of the stock and the car was intercepted in the railroad yards in New York by the department's agents. Of twenty cows found in the car, three were in a dying condition, and soon expired. Eight others were suffering from advanced tuberculosis, and at least three from pneumonia. It was also learned that several others of the herd had died at Utica before they could be transferred to the car on the New York train. It is intended to prosecute the shipper of the cattle. A Substitute for Leather An English inventor has devised a perfect substitute for leather which can be used for boots, shoes and for every other purpose for which leather is employed. The new tissue is called wolft. It is being extensively used in England, having been adopted by the London Shoe Company especially for walking shoes on account of its coolness and its lightness. Wolft is more durable than leather and is much more waterproof, while at the same time more porous, which makes it a nonconductor, and to a large degree obviates the necessity for wearing rubbers which are needed by one whose feet are clad with leather only when the slush and mud is so deep that the feet are half buried at every step. Frances Willard and Fashionable Dress. Said Frances Willard in one of her last addresses, speaking of the advancement and present status of women: "But be it remembered that until woman comes to her kingdom physically she will never really come at all. Created to be well and strong and beautiful, she long ago 'sacrificed her constitution, and has ever since been living on her by-laws.' She has made of herself an hourglass, whose sands of life passed quickly by. She has walked when she should have run, sat when she should have walked, reclined when she should have sat. She has allowed herself to become a mere lay figure upon which could be fastened any hump or hoop or fartingale that fashion-mongers show; and oftimes her head is a mere rotary ball upon which milliners may peach whatever they please—be it a bird of paradise, or beast or creeping thing. She has bedraggled her senseless long skirts in whatever combination of filth the street presented, submitting to a motion the most awkward and degrading known to the entire animal kingdom, for Nature has endowed all others that carry trains and trails with the power of lifting them without turning in their tracks, but a fashionable woman pays lowliest obeisance to what follows in her own wake; and, as she does so, cuts the most grotesque figure outside a jumping jack. She is a creature born to the beauty and freedom of Diana, but she is swathed by her skirts, splintered by her stays, bandaged by her tight waist, and pinioned by her sleeves until—alas, that I should live to say it!—a trussed turkey or a spitted goose are her most appropriate emblems. Food Value of Eggs. Eggs are a very nourishing food and represent two important elements, fats and proteids, in an easily assimilated form. A single egg weighs about one and one-half ounces, of which one ounce is white, or pure albumin, and one-half ounce yolk. The nutritive value of the yolk is greater than that of the white, though its bulk and weight are smaller. Its solid constituents are about one half of its fat. Fresh eggs, properly prepared, are readily digestible. The best mode of preparation is whipped raw, or cooked for twenty or thirty minutes at a temperature of about $160^{\circ}$ (curdled). The yolks are more easily digested when boiled hard, and the whites are also easily digested when hard boiled, providing care is used to reduce the coagulated white to minute particles which may readily be dissolved by the gastric juice. A single egg is equal in value to a dozen oysters. Very Dissipated. There are a good many persons who might be said to be dissipated and "all broke up" according to the Japanese use of the word, illustrated in the following anecdote: "They are telling in Boston of two or three Japanese students of rank who have been in the habit of dining each Sunday at the residence of one of the prominent citizens of the Hub. On a recent Sunday one was absent, and when the host asked why, one of the guests said solemnly: 'Oh, he cannot come. He very, very dissipated!' The host thought it best not to make any further inquiry at the time, but after the meal he ventured to ask the same young man in private. 'You say Mr. Nim Shi is not well?' "No, he not very well—he very dissipated." "He hasn't been drinking?" "Oh, no, no! he no drunk." "No, no gamble.' "May I ask what he has been doing, then?" "Oh, he very dissipated. He eat sponge cake allee time—he all broke up now." RECIPES RECIPES Mashed Peas With Nuts.—Soak a pint of Scotch peas overnight in cold water. In the morning drain and put them to cook in warm water. Cook slowly until perfectly tender, allowing them to simmer very gently toward the last until they become as dry as possible. Put through a colander to remove the skins. Cook the peanuts separately, drain from the juice, rub through a colander, and add to the peas. Beat well together, season with salt, turn into an earthen or graniteware pudding dish, smooth the top, and bake in a moderate oven until dry and mealy. If preferred, one-third toasted bread crumbs may be used with the peas and a less proportion of nuts. Serve hot like mashed potato. Graham Gems.—Place one pint of cold water in a crock, add one egg; beat water, egg and a pinch of salt together. Then add $1\frac{3}{4}$ cups of white flour and $3\frac{1}{4}$ cup of graham flour, beat thoroughly, and bake in a quick oven. Irish Corn Soup.—Take one pint of slice potato cooked until tender, add one pint of corn pulp obtained by rubbing cooked dried corn through a colander. Season with salt, add water to make a proper consistency, reheat, and serve. Split-Pea Soup.—For each quart of soup desired, simmer one cup of split peas very slowly in three pints of boiling water for six hours or until thoroughly dissolved. When done, rub through a colander, add salt and a slice of onion to flavor. Reheat and season with one half cup of thin cream or a spoonful of nut meal prepared as directed below. Remove the slice of onion with a fork. Serve hot with croutons. Crustons.—Cut stale bread into small squares or cubes, and brown thoroughly in a moderate oven. Put a spoonful or two of the croutons in each plate, and turn the hot soup over them. Baked Parsnips.—Wash, scrape and divide; drop into boiling water, a little more than sufficient to cook them, and boil gently till thoroughly tender. There should remain about one-half pint of the liquor when the parsnips are done. Arrange on an earthen plate or shallow pudding-dish, not more than one layer dee; cover with the juice and bake, basting frequently until the juice is all absorbed and the parsnips delicately browned. Serve at once. Orange Nectar—Extract the juice of six oranges and two lemons, being careful not to get the flavor of rind. Add enough water to make six glasses of nectar. Sweeten. RELIGIOUS The Presence of Christ. there, in my workshop, where I toll Till the head and hands are well-nigh against inclination, and th have an inclination to do right is something nobler than I sit among the books I love, Or bend above life's dearest Book. Softly kiss the book, dive Kinder than friend's most welcome look he broods upon the page I read; He tells me He is at my side; Even here He gives what most I need. And stays by me, my blessed Guide. Oh, Master, while the moments drift So fast, away, till night draw near, Be with me still, that I may lift Unceasingly, my song of cheer. I would not have an hour apart From Thee, sweet Lover, matchless King. Abide with me, Take Thou my heart; Low at Thy feet myself I fling. —Margaret E. Sangster. The Great Attraction. And I, if I be lifted up from the earn I will draw all men unto me.— e John xii, 52. To any, save the few in the group of his friends, that statement must have sounded like the ravings of one deluded. It has taken the centuries to show that he was right. He was right in his estimation of his life's end; it was a lifting up. His enemies thought it a casting down, a defeat; he knew it to be a triumph. Sorrow, injustice, oppression, hatred, the things that seem to crush are the things that elevate. Only by opposition has any life discovered power. The fiercer blow these winds the firmer grows the tree. Out of the petty persecutions, the countless meannesses, the littleness of those who oppose him the great soul builds its greatness. It is, and ever has been by a cross that men are lifted up. History abounds with prisons, gibbets, and crosses which have become thrones of eternal glory. Whether we shall be cast down or lifted up depends upon ourselves; neither enemies nor adverse circumstances have the power to do this. The soul that seeks the stars builds its staircase out of the stones flung by the persecutor out of the rocks or difficulties. If your heart is great, my brother, nothing can keep you from greatness; if it is mean, no amount of o'ervaulting ambition can make you other than a little, obscure man, as truly lost on the peak as you would be at the base. Jesus died a failure; his friends were few, and the best of them thought his life a mistake. It takes more than the span of our lives to measure their size. It is better that a great soul should be called a failure than that it should die a shriveled success. Earth measures by what the hands hold; heaven by the heart. The hands at last lose their grasp, but the heart wealth goes on from more to more. This it is that is worth while. Jesus was right when he said that he would draw all men to him. Then it sounded like folly; to-day it demonstrates his divine insight. Lifted up in shame the riches of his life were revealed. After all, the best in us answers to the best; it is love that leads. In the end, goodness, truth, gentleness, sincerity have the greatest attraction for men. Jesus is known and loved by millions who never heard of Nero or of Augustus. Their glory was that of circumstance; his that of character. His life lifts. This it is that most helps the world; not learning, but a life; not power or position, but simple passion for men; not riches, but wealth of the inner life. You may not found a university or build libraries or hospitals, or even write books or preach sermons. But every one may do the principal thing that Jesus did. That was to live a life amongst men of love for them, of simple kindnesses, of God seeking aspiration, of white sincerity. The race needs not so much men who will shake it with their power or dazzle it with their learning as it needs men and women who will lift it with the quiet earnestness and sincerity of their lives. Herein is lasting greatness and true power, to live as he lived, to love as he loved, true to God, to yourself, and to your fellows, seeking the best and giving of your best. Service and sacrifice are the things that lift to the supreme places; the lower you stoop in helpfulness the higher you are lifted in lasting glory. And they are lifted to heaven, they achieve immortality, they can never die who were willing to die if death lay in the path of duty, to be sacrificed if sacrifice was part of their service.—Chicago Tribune. Cheerful Christianity Christians are not as much calmer steadier, stronger and more cheerful than other people as they ought to be. Some Christians are among the most depressing and worrying people in the world—the most difficult to live with. And some, indeed, have adopted a theory of spiritual ethics which puts a special value upon unhappiness. The dark, morbid spirit which mistrusts every joyful feeling and deprecates every cheerful virtue, and looks askance upon every happy life as if there must be something wrong about it, is a departure from the beauty of Christ's teaching to follow the dark-browed philosophy of the Orient. The religion of Jesus tells us that cheerful piety is the best piety. There is something finer than to do right against inclination, and that is to have an inclination to do right. There is something nobler than reluctant obedience, and that is joyful obedience. The real test of character is joy; for what you rejoice in, that you love; and what you love, that you are like. I confess frankly that I have no admiration for the phrase "disinterested benevolence," to describe the mainspring of Christian morals. I do not find it in the New Testament—neither the words nor the thing. Interested benevolence is what I find there. To do good to others is to make life interesting and final peace for our own souls. To glorify God is to enjoy Him. That was the spirit of the first Christians. Was not St. Paul a happier man than Herod? Did not St. Peter have more joy of his life than Nero? It is said of the first disciples that they "did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart." Not till that pristine gladness of life returns will the Church regain her early charm for the souls of men. Every great revival of Christian power, like those which came in the times of St. Francis of Assisi, and of John Wesley, has been marked and heralded by the revival of Christian joy. If we want the Church to be mighty in power to win men, to be a source of light in the darkness, a fountain of life in the wilderness, we must remember and renew, in the spirit of Christ, the relation of religion to human happiness—Henry Van Dyke. An Unbroken Promise. Hear the pledge of Jesus Christ: "I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you"; "Lo, I am with you all, ever unto the end of the world." As long as God lives and our souls live, so long does this pledge stand. It is true, we cannot always feel this presence. But we can always know that it is there, always think of it as long as thought endures, always upon it forever; and the reason why this promise is given is that we may hold fast to this truth, there may be a moment in the very depth of sorrow and anguish when the presence is hidden from us. But it is not because God is absent; it is because we are stunned, unconscious. It is like passing through the surgical operation The time comes for the ordeal. The anaesthetic is ready. You are about to become unconscious. You stretch out your hand to your friend: "Don't leave me; don't forsake me." The last thing that you feel is the class of that hand; the last thing that you see is the face of that friend. Then a moment of darkness, a blank—and the first thing you see is the face of love again. So the angel of God's face stands by us, bends above us, and we may know that he will be there ever when all else fails. Our friends die our possessions take wings and fly away, our honors fade, our strength fails; but beside every moldering ruin and every open grave, in the gathering gloom of every twilight, amid the mists that shroud the great oceans be bend the verge of mortal life, there in one sweet, mighty voice that says: "will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. In all thy affections I will be with thee, and the angel of My face shall save thee."—Henry Van Dyke. Faithful Performance of Duty Actual duty faithfully performed even in that circumscribed sphere in which God has cast our lot, is more acceptable to Him, than theories of the most extensive good, than distant speculations and impossible projects for the benefit even of the whole world; while in the indulgence of those alry schemes our own specific and appointed work lies neglected, or is performed without energy and with out attention. Distant projects are too apt to slacken present industry while the magnitude of schemes probably impracticable, may render our actual exertions cold and slug gish.—H. More. Don't Hurry. A man who wants to see a country must not hurry through it by express train, but he must stop in the towns and villages and see what is to be seen. He will know more about the land and its people if he walks the highways, climbs the mountains stays in the homes, and visits the work-shops, than if he does so many mile in the day and hurries through picture galleries as if death were pursuing him. Don't hurry through scripture, but pause for the Lord to speak to you. O for more meditation! — Spurgeon. Our Burdens—And Us. "Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and He will sustain thee"—burden and all. "Thee" is the greatest burden that thou hast! All other burdens are but slight, but this is a crushing burden. But when we come to the Lord with our burden, He just lifts up His child, burden and all and bears him all the way home. A Reason for Being Happy. People who are not busy are al most sure to be discontented. In stead of complaining because you have to work, thank God that you are not obliged to be idle. And get the greatest possible blessing out of your work, by putting your heart into it, as well as the powers of body and brain. THE HUNTING CABIN NEAR NEWCASTLE, COLO., OCCUPIED BY THE PRESIDENT AND PARTY 11 The hunting cabin occupied by President Roosevelt and party is about twenty-five miles from Newcastle, Garfield county, Colo. It stands on what is known as Huntsman Hills, which are the center of a region teeming with wild game, but more especially of the large kind. The cabin is a comfortable log "shack," substantially constructed, and amply provided with the necessaries for creature comforts. Temporary partitions have been put up, one of the rude apartments being assigned to the use of the President. Six months ago the world had not learnd of Evan Roberts. Now in all thinking circles he stands out as one of the most striking personalities of the time. Of the thousands of people of many nations who are flocking to Wales to see what this revival is like that every one is talking of, not one would feel that he had seen it unless he had seen Evan Roberts, the central figure on whom its white light is focused, and who seems to be at once its cause and its result. We find ourselves in the presence of a tall, fair, gracefully built young man, who looks younger than his twenty-six years, and who fails to impress us as possessing any qualities, intellectual or otherwise, above the average. Except for a smile of some charm, and an air of purity about his person, he might easily pass without notice of any kind. Evan Roberts is the son of a sturdy and independent couple who may be taken as types of the Welsh mining class in Wales. His father is a collier of sterling character, not noted for any specially marked traits; and 'in this case, as in so many others, it is to the mother that may be traced some of the religious simplicity and zeal that are so marked in the son. Until the summer of 1904 no one would have dreamed that there was hidden in the tall, fair young collier, somewhat studious and also musical, the leader of a great religious movement, and what is more, the initiator of a new form of revival, and one of rare spiritual beauty. For a people who at their festivals will contentedly listen to eighteen sermons in two days—three at each of the three services in two days—prayer-meetings lasting for six and eight hours will be nothing very unusual. The wonder of these services does not lie in their length. Indeed, it is almost impossible to describe and far more difficult to account for the wonderful meetings. It is there one sees Evan Roberts, the revivalist. But perhaps one might not see him even though he were a mere. A prominent lay preacher, one who had previously qualified both as a physician and as a lawyer, but had finally devoted himself to religious work, went to Wales to spy out the land. Two hours before the hour appointed for the service to begin he and another visitor who had cast in his lot with him made their way to the church and found it full and the service in full swing. Going round to the back entrance, they succeeded, with some difficulty, in finding standing room on the platform. When next they thought of time they found to their astonishment that they had been standing for three hours. But nothing had been seen of Evan Roberts, who was announced to be present. Atraid that he had stayed away, as he sometimes does when the Spirit bids him do so, one of them stooped down and said to a young man seated near them: "Evan Roberts was to be here; do you know if he has arrived?" "I am Evan Roberts," was the answer. And then seeing the look of astonishment on the man's face, he added, half smil Food Courses in Ireland The etiquette of the fashionable hotels has not yet, penetrated into the hinterland of Ireland. A correspondent who, with his wife, put up at an inn in, the darkest interior, was served the first night with an elaborate dinner of five or six courses. Unwilling to give trouble, they begged the land lady not to cook so much, as a single dish would generally do. They were taken at their wood; next evening the soup, fish, entrees, joint and sweets were served in a chaotic mass in the same dish.—London Globe. THE LODGE ing: "You see, they do not need me." Aposther instance tells more plainly still of his perfectly natural and sincere diffidence, how he deprecates any importance being attached to his presence at a meeting. In perfect sincerity he declares any share in the work that is going on. "It is the Spirit of God," he says. And when one looks at the young man, unlearned as far as books are concerned, with no striking intellectual gifts, and hears his simple, direct talk about God, and his sometimes naive but always strong pleadings with his hearers, one feels that it is even as he says. There is nothing in him to account for his influence. He is a channel for the spirit of God. At the beginning of one meeting at which he had promised to be present, he put the following questions to the people, being answered as if with one voice: "You all believe in God, do you not?" "You believe in Christ's promises?" "Yes." Then he opened his Bible and read, "Lo, I am with you away," and asked, "Then you believe that he is here?" Once more the answer came, "Yes." "Then," he said, quietly and naturally, as he closed the book, "I am not needed here," and left the hall. And he was quite right, he was not needed. --- The same marvelous spirit was present which welds the people into one—so that it seems as if individuals had merged into that mysterious union which is foretold of the future—and the meeting proceeded as successfully as if he had been there. The Welsh, as a nation of singers, have found their best expression during this revival in hymns. And these are sung by the whole people without books, sometimes a refrain repeated, if one of the singers is moved to begin it, and sometimes one half singing in Welsh and the others in English. The ordered disorder of the meetings is amazing. Just as the revival owes nothing to organization, advertisement, program-making, so the services are left to the guiding power that is so evidently present. The order of service has been ignored. Ministers and choirs, the preaching and the singing, formerly of so much importance, have been set aside. Everything is left to the guidance of—of? Those who go to see come away, and in answer to the question, "What is it?" can only answer, "No one can tell." One only knows that "the wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth; so is every one that is born of the Spirit"—words that have been seen offener of late in English journals than for many years past. The Outlook. Information Easily Obtained A New York paper is discussing the question, "Do Boys Hate Bathing?"

No. Misrepresentation "See here," exclaimed the irate purchaer to the type-writer agent, "didn't you tell me the machine you sold me was so strong you could drop it out of a window, go down and pick it up and go right to work on it?" "I did." "Well, it fell out of the window accidentally yesterday, and I had to send it to the repair shop." "Well, you could have gone right to work on it yourself if you'd known how to set about fixing it, couldn't you?" IN THE FAR NORTH Wondrous View to Be Observed from the North Cane. Hammerfest, the most northern town of Europe, is bleak and desolate, but, seen by the witch light of the midnight sun, it touches the imagination more than many of the world's more favored spots, writes Jean Murray in the Four-Track News. The traveler passing through Norway finds himself constantly seeking for words that will express his wonder and admiration, but when at last he stands on the North Cape, in the light of the midnight sun, and looks out over the awful solitude, he no longer longs for words to express what he feels, but stands and gazes into the glorious northern light that glimmers on the glittering waves of the Arctic sea, while thoughts too deep for words well up in his soul. He feels that after this hour he will have a greater reverence for this wonderful world wherein he is permitted to spend his little span of life, and that if in future years the touch of discouragement and discontent falls upon him he will remember this moment when he stood on the lonely heights of the North Cape, looking out over the blue Arctic into what seemed the shining dawns of eternity, and feel that it is well to have lived, if only for this. USE OF LARGE FORTUNES Immense Wealth in Combinations a Direct Menace. When, however, we dismiss controversy over the rightfulness or wrongfulness of the mere existence of these great fortunes, and deal with the question whether they are properly and rightly used by their possessors, some different considerations arise, and they are considerations with which the recent markets have been repeatedly confronted, says the Forum. The most notable financial phenomenon of the day has not the mere increase of the wealth of great capitalists, but the persistent effort of such capitalists to combine for a common purpose. Domination of given manufacturing interests and railway interests by an identical group of capitalists opens the possibility of discriminating transportation rates on the products of the industries in question. This, if accomplished, is not only a wrong to the shipper of merchandise who pays full rates, but to the other shareholders in the railway which makes the secret concessions. If the combination of capital lays its hands with such purposes on banking institutions, the case may be much more serious. Rush for Government Jobs. The civil service commission says that the rush for positions under the government is unprecedented. Last year 8,000 people filed applications for a chance to take the civil service examinations for positions in the lower grades. This year the number is 18,000. The government clerk must be content to fling away ambition and lead a treadmill, existence through life, and few can hope to earn more than $1,800 a year. On the other hand, his tenure is secure, his hours short and his work, as a rule, easier than in private employ. The prospect does not appeal to men of industry, capacity, self confidence and ambition. There will never be a lack of applicants, but that these should have been more than doubled in one year is an interesting and somewhat mysterious phenomenon.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Shrinking. An unfortunate Parisian has shrunk down two feet in stature and several eminent Parisian surgeons are greatly puzzled by his case. Of course, they are careful that he doesn't get wet and that nothing calculated to aggravate his shrinking nature is permitted to annoy him. Nevertheless, he shrinks, and if the tendency isn't checked the learned medical men may find it necessary to put strong mustard plasters on both his head and feet in the effort to draw him out. There is no Rochelle Salta, Alum, Limo or Ammonia in food made with Calumet Baking Powder NOT IN THE BAKING INDUSTRY TRUST it makes pure food. Jarred Love's Dream "Dear," she cooed, "do you think you can continue to shower candy and flowers and such things upon me after we have been married, in addition to meeting the household expenses?"

It was thought in 1903, when over forty-five thousand people went from the United States to Canada, that the limit of the yearly immigration to the wheat zone of the Continent had been reached. But when in 1904 about as large a number of American citizens signified their intention of becoming settlers on Canadian lands, the general public were prepared for the announcement of large numbers in 1905. No surprise therefore will be caused when it is made known that predictions of fully fifty thousand more in 1905 are warranted in the fact that the Spring movement Canadaward is greater than it has ever been. The special trains from Omaha, Chicago, St. Paul, Detroit, and other gateways has been crowded. Many have gone to join friends and relatives who have prepared homes for them and others have gone relying upon their own resources, satisfied that what others have done can also be done by them. This year much new territory has been opened up by the railroads which are extending their main lines and throwing out branches in their march across the best grain and grazing lands on the continent. This new territory has attractions for those desiring to home-stead on the one hundred and sixty acres granted each settler by the Canadian Government. Many also take advantage of the opportunity to purchase lands at the low figures at which they are now being offered. It does not require much thought to convince one that if Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and other lands, with a value of from fifty to one hundred and fifty dollars an acre will give a good living by producing ten to thirteen bushels of wheat to the acre and thirty to fifty bushels of corn to the acre, the lands of Western Canada at seven to ten dollars an acre, producing from twenty to thirty bushels of a superior wheat to the acre should produce a competence to the ordinary farmer in a very few years. These are the facts as they confront the reader. There are millions of acres of such land in Western Canada in addition to the other millions that are considered to be portion of the biggest and host ranges that ever invited the cattle and horse producer of the North American continent. What is particularly evident in Western Canada is the fact that the wheat lands, adjoining the grazing lands, make farming particularly agreeable and profitable. The agents of the Canadian Government, who are always willing to give information and advice to intending settlers, say that the acreage put under crop this season is greatly in excess of last season. More of the Strenuous. There is another vanishing industry. The Birmingham jewsharp industry is stated to be in a bad way, owing to the collapse of the demand among savage peoples. The advance of civilization has been so thorough that nowadays in Central Africa nothing short of Wagner will satisfy the native souls. Recently Thomas Harte, an Irishman in Leeds workhouse, England, set forth the claim that he was 137 years old and the oldest man in the world. THE RISING SON. LEWIS WOODS,.....Business Manager.

THE LATE JUDGE THAYER. The members of the Kansas City bar held a memorial service on behalf of the late Judge Thayer, the presiding judge in the Federal jurisdiction of the State of Missouri last Wednesday in the Federal Court room. Judge McPherson of Iowa presided. The judge regretted very much that Judge Phillips was not able to preside at this time on account of illness. O. H. Dean acted as chairman of a committee on resolutions which were read. ExGovernor Crittenden read a paper in which he paid a great tribute to the late Judge Thayer. He compared him with a Socrates in that he was always right in his decisions, courteous and a Christian gentleman and above all things he advocated justice before the law. Judge Thayer was an appointee of Grover Cleveland. Mr. Frank Hagerman made an eloquent address on the late judge. He said he made a great record and lived in the hearts of men. He cited that many young lawyers would reap reward from the advice given by Judge Thayer. Among the other members who spoke were: Judge Botsford, Sanford B. Ladd and Judge Pollard of Kansas City, Kansas. The funeral took place on last Thursday, the 27th of April. The courts throughout the districts adjourned in order those connected might attend the funeral. The passing of Judge Thayer is a direct loss to the legal fraternity of the State of Missouri. He stood at the head of his profession and was able, just and true. PURIFY THE NEGRO SCHOOL. The Son would like to know when the Kansas City School board is going to make an example of some of the bogus material now employed in the Negro schools of our city in order that the wrongs which the Negro race is suffering, will be remedied. Every now and then a scandal occurs which, when sifted down it is found that the person figuring therein, is a member of the corps of Negro teachers. The friends of these bogus individuals are either cowards or they have worked a good bluff on the School board. This wrong must not be allowed to go on indefinitely. A FEATURE AT THE JONES DRY GOODS HOUSE. The Jones Dry Goods Company, extends Easter greeting to its thousands of buyers. There are many pleasing features which the casual shopper come in contact with in the big white store. The school boy or girl who desires to purchase is given the same prompt attention that the mother or father is given. This one important feature among others is not always found to exist at other big establishments. A man who "knows it all" spends most of his time telling it. To run up a bill is human—to pay it is divine. WESTERN UNIVERSITY MAKING GREAT STRIDES. An interview with President W. T. Vernon. The Board of Trustees of the State Industrial Department of Western University met in Stanley Hall a few days ago to decide upon plans for expending the $35,900 appropriated by the Kansas legislature for the use of the institution. Extensive improvements will be made during the summer. Plans are being drawn for the completion of Ward's Hall and the contract will be let during Commencement week. In addition to that a three story trades building will be erected costing $10,000, the buildings of the university will be heated by steam and lighted by electricity from a central plant, gymnasiums for each sex will be provided, and the university will have a band. The meeting was attended by Bishop Grant, L. W. Keplinger, Green Keith, Corvine Patterson, J. R. Ransom and Prof W. T. Vernon, president of the university. Prof. Vernon said: "The next annual meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held in the Palm Garden of the Grand Central Palace, New York City, August 16, 17 and 18, 1905. "It is not, perhaps, saying too much to state that this meeting will bring together one of the largest and most representative bodies of colored people that has ever assembled in this country, and the present plan of the officers not only embraces the bringing together of a large representation of colored business men and women from the United States, but from the West Indian Islands and other foreign countries as well. SLAVES SATISFIED WITH LOT. Under Mohammed Masters Conditions Are Not Sevente. "In Zanzibar and Pemba slaves are very slow to take advantage of the regulations that give them the right to claim their freedom," says a traveler. "They realize that so long as they are well used their position is superior to that of the man whose freedom is his sole asset. I have found the same attitude in North Africa. From Morocco to Tripoli one sees most of the slaves well content and flourishing. The famine, the locusts, the drought and the tax collector have no terror for them; work keeps them healthy, they have enough to eat and drink and the future has no meaning at all. There is promotion; there are confidential missions to governors and friends that elevate a slave, if only in the eyes of his fellows, and there is always a chance of manumission when the owner dies and wishes to have some good deeds recorded in the books of Islam's recording angels. The sorry truth of the matter is that slaves under Mohammed rule are much better off than they ever were under the rule of white men—in America and elsewhere."

HOW TO EAT A SEED ORANGE. No Spoon Is Used According to the West indian Method. “When T was in Jamaica,” sald a New York man just back from the West Indies, “a native got to talking to me about their oranges. “Lasked him if they raised navets. He said no, not to any extent, and that he considered the navel an in- ferlor orange, anyway. 1 maintained that there is nothing better in the way of a fruit than a good California or Florida navel orange. I safd that the seeds and the thick fiber in a seed orange make it disagreeable to eat and spoil the flavor. ““The trouble ts," he answered, ‘you do not know how to eat a seed or- ange.” “Then he showed me, illustrating with some of his own seed oranges. You peel the orange, taking care to Pare just Inside the white inner skin. When that is done you have laid bare te onter wall of each of those Hitle seetions of which an orange Is composed. “Then you divide these sections, one by one, and, putting this peeled edge in your month, suck. You get the juice and some of the pulp, but nont of the fiber and none of the seeds, which hang close to the inner wall of the section. “This is better than eating it with a spoon for two reasons. In the first place, after you have had the spoon in your month once or twice it grows warm and spoils the coolness of the fruit, In the second place, the spoon method has a tendency to make the jnice fly, and that is disagreeable for your neighbors as well as yourself “I learned to eat the native orange in the native fashion, and now 1 think that the seed orange and not the navel is the king of fruits.” Traced Through Photograph.

Smith, of this place, says that Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best remedy for growing girls. Mrs. Smith emphasizes her recommendation by the following experience: "My daughter was thirteen years old last November and it is now two years since she was first taken with Crazy Spells that would last a week and would then pass off. In a month she would have the spells again. At these times she would eat very little and was very yellow; even the whites of her eyes would be yellow. "The doctors gave us no encouragement, they all said they could not help her. After taking one box of Dodd's Kidney Pills, she has not had one bad spell. Of course, we continued the treatment until she had used in all about a dozen boxes, and we still give them to her occasionally, when she is not feeding well. Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the best medicine for growing girls." Mothers should heed the advice of Mrs. Smith, for by so doing, they may save their daughters much pain and sickness and ensure a healthy, happy future for them. He who can take no interest in what is small, will take false interest in what is great. TORTURING HUMOUR. Body a Mass of Sores—Treated by Three Doctors but Grew Worse —Cured by Cuticura for 75c.

Neighbors advised Cuticura, and before I had used half of the cake of soap and box of ointment the sores had all healed, and my little one's skin was as clear as a newborn baby's. I would not be without Cuticura again if it cost five dollars, instead of seventy-five cents, which is all it cost us to cure our baby. Mrs. G. J. Steese, 701 Coburn St., Akron, Ohio."

In no part of the United States has there been such wonderful Commercial, Industrial and Agricultural development as along the lines of the Lincoln Central and the Yazoo & Mississippi counties in Mississippi and Louisiana within the past ten years. Cities and towns have doubled their population. Spendid business blocks have been erected. Farm lands have more than doubled in value. Hundreds of industries have an unprecedented demand for Day Laborers, Skilled Workmen, and Especially Farm Tenants. Parties with small capital, seeking an opportunity to purchase a farm home; farmers who would prefer to rent for a couple of years before purchasing; and day laborers in fields or factories should address a postal card to Mr. T. B. Dubuque, Iowa who will promptly mail printed matter concerning the territory above described, and give specific replies to all fiqueries.

At 2300 Vine street may be found one of the neatest and most up-to-date Drug Stores in the city. This place should be the pride of every race-loving citizen of Kansas City. It is owned and conducted by J. T. McCampbell and W. H. Houston who are purely Kansas City products and as such should at least receive a fair share of the drug business here. Their success stands forth as an example of what might be accomplished by the young Negroes of Kansas City with a limited capital and an unlimited amount of nerve. J. T. McCAMPBELL. The store was opened on a modest scale November 11, 1903, at the time Mr. Houston was a letter carrier in Denver, Colo. After a successful business during the winter, a thoroughly modern and sanitary soda fountain was installed in the store in the spring. During this time Mr. McCampbell was assisted by his brother, E. J. McCampbell, but business soon increased to such an extent that it was necessary for Mr. Houston to give up his position in Denver, and devote his time to the business here. Both young men are past masters in the art of mixing soda fountain drinks, and in spite of the fact that last summer was an exceptionally cool one for soda water, their business increased to such an extent, that they realized it would be necessary to find new and more spacious quarters to accommodate their trade, and to this end moved into their present location on about W. H. HOUSTON. March 1, 1905, occupying both floors of the building at the Southwest corner of 23d and Vine streets. They now have a stock and fixtures which will invoice $3,700.00. One of the leading features of the store is their prescription department, it is complete in every detail and a model for other pharmacists. There are lots of drug stores. You may wonder whether it makes any difference where you take your prescriptions or where you buy your goods. Their best promises is the drug store itself. They invite you to investigate it from front door to back, from top to bottom. Bring in anybody else who is a competent judge and let them investigate methods, quality of drugs, prices and everything else. If you do, you are bound to become one of our customers, because you will find that this is a real drug store worthy the name. They have a night clerk, and prescriptions are filled and delivered at any time of day or night. Have you a prescription to fill? If so, why should you not choose your druggist, as well as to choose your physician? Your recovery depends as much on the proper compounding of your prescriptions as on the proper diagnosis and treatment of your case by your physician. If your druggist is wrong, it is little worth to you to have your physician right. At McCampbell & Houston's Prescription Drug Store you are guaranteed purity, accuracy and skill. Ask your physician about them. Experiments With Oil. After six weeks' experiment with two different oils, the borough surveyor of Kensington, London, has reported that the system of laying dust by oil is unsuitable for London. Not only is the cost twice as much as for water, but the smell from the oil caused many complaints where it was used. (Continued from first page.) being much improved. Mrs. Lener Thomas and little daughter spent last Sunday in Kansas City visiting friends. Mr. James Chinn sold his farm of 120 acres, consideration $4,500, and has bought a home at Independence, Mo., and will move his family in the near future. Mrs R.
