The first picnic of the season will be given by the Macedonias, May 19. The Millinery Club held their opening Thursday night and was well patronized. The hats were beautiful. Mrs. Rogers certainly understands the work. Mrs. M. I. Jenkins, Misses J. E. Pennick and Nellie Raglan and Professor Harrison were the teachers elected. We are very proud that Miss Nellie was successful as she is a home girl. No, Mr. K. C. Principal, Prof. Harrison is elected and you gained nothing by bringing men to Independence, Mo., and I hope every one will sooner or later find you out. You better be paying your honest debts and taking care of your family. It will take a better man than you to get Mr. Harrison out. Rev. Winrow has moved in the parsonage. Rev. Brown of the A. M. E. church, says he will be glad when school closes at his old home so his wife and children can come to Independence. He says it is not good for a man to be alone. Mr. Amos Ousley, an old citizen, is very ill at his home on North Main. Mrs. Chinn is visiting in Glasgow. The respectable people who went to Lee Summit last Friday night week, are certainly sorry of their trip. Some behaved so badly, all must bear the blame. LEXINGTON NEWS.

He was one of our best citizens. Mr. A. W. Walker will be out of the city several days on business. Mrs. Jane Porter is on the sick list. We highly appreciate the sentiment of Governor Folk on the 13th, when he says."No matter how deserving of death the Negro may have been or how dastardly his crime, it is murder for the mob to hang him." We acknowledge that the Negroes do things that we don't think is right, so do the white men. The white men impose upon our women and we cannot protect them because the whites are in majority and they administer the law [Portrait of a man in formal attire, wearing a suit and bow tie, with a serious expression. The background is plain and dark, emphasizing the subject.] D. W. DANCY, Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia. to suit themselves and we have to take whatever they put upon us. The good Negro has to suffer for the crimes of the bad ones. It isn't so with the whites; each one suffers for what he does and the other whites are not held responsible for the crimes that are committed by one of them. We are here among the white people and some of us are trying to make good citizens to elevate our race and make the communities better, in which we live because we live in them. If an innocent man who knows nothing about the crime committed and goes and helps mob another man I think he is a murderer too, for the law says what constitutes murder in the first degree must have been thought of before it was done. They make up their companys with the intention to do it and they are murderers to. I am very glad that the Governor of the state is determine to protect the black man as well as the white man. Miss Mary Olden paid up for the Rising Son. Why don't you other people that owe pay up. You know you owe it and I do to. Mrs. Dr. Bell has returned home and is still improving. Dr. is just as busy as can be. I know he feels much better since she returned. KANSAS CITY, KAN. Dr. Westbrooks of Memphis, Tenn., spent a few days in Kansas City the past week visiting friends. He is enroute home from Denver. The doctor speaks encouragingly of the outlook of our people in Memphis.

Mr. Green Walker, one of the most faithful members of St. John A. M. E. church, departed this life last Friday. Funeral under direction of the Masonic fraternity of which he was a faithful member for twenty years, took place Sunday afternoon at the church. Mr. Walker was for more than twenty years a tower of strength in St. John, being class leader, steward and trustee. His place will be hard to fill. He is gone up to his reward. Sympathy is extended to the bereaved widow and others. Mr. James Clark of Denver, Colo., is visiting his friends and relatives. He is now stopping at Mr. Gus Clark's, 435 Virginia Ave. Mrs. Millie Curtis of 324 New Jersey will give a reception on Monday night, May 22, in honor of Mr. Clark.

Grant and wife left Tuesday, May 16, for St. Louis, where he will remain until after the twenty-fifth anniversary of Bishop H. M. Turner. Pawnbroker Had the Last Laugh in Practical Joke. J. de Geyter, the well known Flemish author, had another source of income in addition to that derived from literary work. He was the head of a large pawnbroker's establishment in Antwerp, and it is in connection with this latter position that a biographer tells the following amusing story: One night, long after he had gone to sleep, De Geyter was rung up by telephone. "What is it?" he queried, not over pleased. "I say Geyter," came the voice of a friendly Bohemian, "just tell me the time." "Why don't you consult your watch instead of bothering me in the dead of night?" called the infuriated pawnbroker. "I couldn't; my watch is in your possession," came through the telephone. De Geyter had his revenge, however. Knowing the Bohemian's habits, he waited till the early morning hour when he knew him to be in his first sleep. Then he telephoned to his tormentor's hotel, suggesting that he had an urgent communication to make. When his tormentor, sleepy and morose, came to the telephone, Geyter said, suavely: "You asked me to tell you the time, sir. It is just eight in the morning." In France: "What's the French for mashed potatoes?" "Why, eh—pommes de terre'd'amour, of course."—Life. Miss Olethea Saunders, who has been attending school at Sedalia, returned home Tuesday morning. Miss Britt of Higginsville was the guest of Miss Saunders Tuesday. Mrs. Spencer Morris left for Kansas City Monday evening. Born to the wife of Mr. Gus. Hearde a girl, April 12th. Mr. Archer Porter, one of our oldest citizens, died April 2, and was buried on the 4th from the A. M. E. church of which he was a member. He was born in Virginia in 1820 and has lived here over fifty years. He leaves a wife, one son, Chas. Porter, and a granddaughter, Mrs. Estella Saunders, and a host of friends to mourn his loss. AMBITION OF A PRINCESS. Woman High in Station Acknowledges Fondness for Reporting. Princess Charles of Denmark was recently seen at a railway terminus blinding adieu to a distinguished guest. Looking around with a bored expression, she saw a newspaper reporter scribbling away for dear life in his notebook. She, too, drew a tiny notebook from her pocket, wrote a message upon a leaf and folded it into a tiny leaf. The reporter watched every motion with glistening eye. Some important bit of news, he was sure, was about to be given him. Sure enough, the princess threw the pellet of paper directly at him, with an unusually good aim for a woman, and immediately turned the other way, absorbed in her hospitable task. The reporter straightened out the crumpled leaf. On it were these words: "I wish i were a reporter." Expert Tattooist. The master of the tattooing art in Japan is Chyo, who can produce such pictures on the human skin as are the envy of all rivals. He has photographs of all his more important works, most of the originals having been produced on the cuticle of English and American travelers. Two of the most remarkable are a huge dragon in three colors, covering an American doctor's back entirely, while another is a life-sized fly which was put on an Englishman's wrist so naturally that one would feel tempted to call his attention to the fact if one were not told that it was the work of the tattooing needle. Chyo's work is recognized by his countrymen at a glance, and is looked upon with much respect. Went Too Far. Isaacstein, the ruralist, was in search of a horse. "I've got the very thing you want," said Bill Lennox, the stable man, "a thorough-going road horse. Five years old, sound as a quail, $175 cash down and he goes ten miles without stopping." Isaacstein threw his hands skywards. "Not for me," he said, "not for me. I wouldn't gif you five cents for him. I live eight miles out in de country, unt I'd haf to valk back two miles." Leisure of Japanese Generals. During the winter just past Japan's generals along the Shaho spent their time variously, "Gen. Nodzu," according to Japanese newspapers, "studied calligraphy. Gen. Kuroki kept barn-yard fowls. During the Hekautai engagement Gen. Kodama scarcely slept at all for a whole week, but did not seem one whit the worse for his experience." Gen. Oyama was reported as being "the same robust, merry-hearted gentleman as ever." Did you ever try one of McCampbell & Houston's "Specials," Cherry Glace, Goldenade, Silverade, Egg Chocolates, Flowing Stream, Sherry and Apricot Flip. Mrs. Annie E. Floyd of 1311 High land avenue, has moved to 1707 East 11th street, where she has two nicely furnished rooms for rent. Call and see them. Substitute for Rubber A new substitute for rubber is being made in Mexico from the guayule plant. HAD TO HAVE EXERCISE. And He Got It By Bumping Into the Fighting Editor. Thud, clatter, brump! The editor looked up from the congenial task of spoiling someone else's story. "Sometimes," he said, "I feel sorry for spring poets." He blue-penelated another half-column into silent nothingness, and paused again to hark to the sounds of strife coming from the next room. "It seems to me," he said, "that these squeals are in some wise ramiliar to mine ears." He telephoned a "stop" message into the fighting editor's den, and the next moment that heated and dusty functionary appeared leading a battered wreck by the ear. "This is the fourth time he's been up this week," said the man of muscue. "Can't I finish him?" The editor held up a meriful hand. Then in a kind and tender voice he spoke to the poet. "Why have you returned four times?" he asked. "Most of your brethren find once enough." "My doctor tells me I must get some violent exercise," the poet said, "and this is the only way I can afford to take it."—London Answers. Duty of a Gentleman On one occasion, having returned from playing poker at the club, my grandfather said: "When a man is hard up he should borrow; but he must devote his energies to paying back and remaining the equal of the man from whom he nas borrowed. If he cannot pay back, let him be frank about it; for it is better to steal than to cheat." And again: "To ride straight and to shoot straight, to win money cheerfully and to lose it cheerfully, never to be boorishly in debt or swinishly drunk, to enjoy flowers and music, and if possible to be in love with at least one good woman, is half the duty of a gentleman." "What's the other half, grandpa?" I had asked him. "Why, to be a gentleman, of course." The People's Schools. The schools belong to the people and will be what the people make them. It is a mistake to suppose that school officers and teachers are the only ones that have to do with the making of the schools. The people set the pace for the teachers and school officers. If a school officer does not meet the ideals of the people he is turned out at the first election. If a teacher does not meet the ideals of the people the teacher is quickly reached through the school officers. So it gets back to the people in the end. The man that thinks the schools are not good enough should set himself about having them improved. It is astonishing how much one person can do to improve the schools when he sets himself about it.—Henry F. Thurston. A. Skentic in the Pew Your sermons about the Hereafter, Full of dim, theological lore. We greet with freerent laughter— Can't you reach the Sweet Hereofore? The hymns that drone up to the rafter, While the deacons contentedly sings, They pail with the praise of Hereafter— Let us sing of the Sweet Hereofore. No glint of the walls ambuster Can we catch through the veil at the door— The foam of the ship gleams abaft her On a sea with invisible shore — The sunrise of every Hereafter Is the sunset of some Heretofore Appointment Recalls Brave Act Appointment Recalls Brave Act. Capt. Harry Leonard of the United States Marine Corps has been ordered by President Roosevelt to the Chinese capital as military attache of the American legation. During the Tien Tsin campaign he risked his life by going to the rescue of a wounded comrade, carrying him to safety on his back across a fire-swept field, and lost his arm as a penalty for his achievement. NUMBER 4 the words "Against the Loan." Said proposition is submitted and this notice is given in pursuance of a resolution of the Board of Directors of said school district, adopted on the 6th day of April, 1905. JOSEPH L.

Fancy Prices for Relics 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'?" Boylah 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 Express. Lives of Different Meaning. It is noble to be alive to the littleness of earth, but it is nobler to become impressed with its greatness; to the animal life it is only a pasture ground; to ordinary men it is the commonplace world; but to him who lives above it it becomes a shining moon. Mean Fling at Scotchmen A man who says he is an Englishman writes to, the Westminster Gazette that he has learned that in 1667 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 "Harlequin 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. FOIBLES OF FASHION For Large Women. A style of bodice becoming to large women is that made with jacket fronts, not the loose, hanging bolero fronts, but a trim, tight fitting affair, single or double breasted, or fastened at the left side. The jacket comes below the waist line in front, and it has a small, shaped basque back; an inner vest with overlapping revers shows between, or above and below the overlapping jacket fronts. One point that every woman at all inclined to stoutness should remember is to keep the line of her waist long by cutting all her clothes with straight seam and dart lines, and placing the waist line half an inch below where she actually feels the line to exist. A garment cut an inch too long waisted books infinitely better than one a quarter of an inch too short waisted; especially this is to be noticed in the plain tailor coat made with single fly fronts. When the coat hangs open it rides up in the back when not long enough in the waist, and it gives a most awkward appearance to a woman. 5 The shirt waist costume has to some extent supervised the tailor suit for general wear. The accompanying illustration shows a natty box plaited waist, combined with a side-plaited skirt in round length. Serge, cheviot, or shepherd plaid among the wool materials are exceedingly good for a frock destined to be worn in cold weather, and any of the inexpensive mercerized cottons, which so strongly resemble silk, are suggested for the summer months. Ribbon Flowers The newest table decorations are made of ribbon, which many clever hostesses fashion for themselves. Debutante luncheons afford excellent opportunities for the display of ribbon flowers, the centerpiece and rose favors being manipulated out of soft louisine curled in such a manner that it exactly duplicates a la France rose. Artificial leaves are used and the rose stems are wound with green velvet ribbon. Bunches of violets are easily conjured into shape with narrow violet ribbon and when combined with natural leaves the effect is exceedingly good. In making these blossoms care must be taken that only soft ribbon be used, as stiff satin would be anything but pretty for such a purpose. Dressy Effects. In thin narrow fabrics the circular top is preferred to a skirt and the rest is all ruffles. One circular ruffle may be used as a foundation, begin below hips, and the trimming put on this. Princess gowns are appearing in the thinnest of fine muslins, and handkerchief linen and linen batiste. They are tucked to fit into the waist line and are elaborately trimmed with fine lace and slight designs of hand embroidery. Many women whose figures can stand this severity are making up such gowns decollete with sleeves ending well above elbow for summer evening wear. They are put over slips of colored batiste at fifty cents a yard. These slips are also princess, fitted into the waist a beading of narrow ribbon which is tied in a flat bow in the back and they are ruffled at the foot line. The passion for hand embroidery has grown stronger each week. Whoever can do it, is putting it on every possible garment. Scheme in Hat Trimming. Marvelous shaded effects are secured by employing different tints of the same flowers in hats. A toque particularly becoming to a fair-haired girl who dresses her hair in rather fluffy fashion is built entirely from hyacinths. The foundation is pale lavender malline. Brim and crown are everlaid with hyacinths shading from palest to deepest lavender. On the brim the white starts next to the hair, and the edge is the deep shade. On --- the crown the white is in the center and the flowers deepen as the size of the circles increase. On either side of the hat, close to the hair and extending well up above the brim, are flat rosettes of soft ribbon in the three tints shown in the flowers, and in the hearts of each rosette are two delicate blush roses with pastel green foliage. Boudoir Confidences Hats are queer. You can't have too many organdies. Both narrow and wide belts are worn. The black patent leather sailor is nobby. You cannot have too much lace about you. Some parasols look as if the sun would melt them. Net insertions make a silk blouse look wonderfully smart. Very taking is the new envelope handbag in scarlet or green. Buy a stamped hat pattern and embroider your own hat. Filmy Laces. An effort that assuredly means business this season runs in favor of filmy laces, headed by the ephemeral blonde. The fresh varieties are exceptionally numerous and at present appear to be collectively gathered together under the safe and vaguely embracing term of French. Towards the fashioning of Jabos together with the prevailing ruffled and wrinkled effects, there is no question as to the superior services of this finer dentelle, and under its auspices one is the more inlined to overlook certain extravagances of pattern. Nor will the furore for the firmer and more costly varieties of embroidered lawns, as a decorative accessory, be any less pronounced than last season. Skirts Little Changed. It is a comfort to many that with all the changes going on in styles, skirts remain almost the same. The six gored circular cut is introduced and is exceedingly artistic, but most difficult for any but the high-priced experts to make. Thirteen gores put into a broad box plait back and front, with side plaits between, meeting at the hips with an inverted box plait, is very popular and stylish. For every day washub gowns the new five-gored pattern is the best to follow. It is slightly gathered at sides and back and is trimmed with the old-fashioned deep Spanish flounce, quite straight, but not too full. This has tucks and a hem at the foot line. It is mounted with a gathered heading or with a two-inch band of embroidery or heavy lace. Stitched bands of the material are not among the new fashions for skirt trimmings.

Trimming consists of soutache braid and brown crochet buttons. freshening carpets, add a tablespoonful of kerosene and the result will be still more satisfactory than usual. Lunch cloths for bungalow or country home fitted up with rustle or mission furnishings, are made of coarse linen in gray or tan shades, with borders in some gay, contrasting tone. When a broom becomes shorter on one side and the ends of the straws become as sharp as needles dip it into hot water, trim it evenly with the shears and you will have a broom nearly as good as new. Veal Cutlet with Tomatoes. Wash two cutlets and season them with pepper and salt. Have ready some hot lard and butter in a pan; put the meat into it, and fry it on both sides until a nice brown; when done place on a hot platter. Stew a quarter of a peck of tomatoes, or if these are not in season, a can will do as well. if fresh they must be drained and mashed. Season with pepper and salt, pour the tomatoes in a pan with the gravy, after the cutlets have been dished, and stir them well together. Pour them over the cutlets and send to table hot. 1 Blouse of plain light silk or volle, with fronts slightly draped and crossed and bordered with silk braid. The plaited chemisette is of white muslin, the plait trimmed with lace and braid and bordered with narrow ruffles of the muslin. The collar is trimmed with lace. The full sleeves are shirred at the top and finished at the elbows with cuffs trimmed with the braid and frills of muslin. New Ruffle Trick. A new ruffle trick seems to have accomplished the apparently impossible task of getting still more fullness into the skirt about the feet. The ruffle is of embroidery, shaped and gathered into half circles, which join at the tips. Under this ruffle is an other, with all the material pleated into it that could possibly be disposed of. The pleating only shows in between the sections of the ruffle in the airiest way imaginable. A Safe Method. There is no prettier nor safer method for carrying a watch than when it is securely set into a bracelet, which is usually made of bars of gold or silver, interlaced diagonally, as are the iron bars of a street-car gate. These bars can be opened wide or closed tightly so as to fit snugly about any wrist. Another way for carrying a watch is to have it set in a leather bracelet which buckles around the wrist. J. M. M.

Few "Find Their Work" "Peace Trust" a Possibility Cremation of Hindu Dead Cremation of Hindu Dead Won Bet on Overdraft Sunshine in "The Boy" The writer for the World's Work who inquired of twenty clergymen if they would choose the same occupation if they had their lives to live over, need not have been surprised to find nine who replied that they would not; nor the investigator for Leslie's Monthly who asked eleven teachers a similar question to find only one who was willing to say yes. Such expressions of disappointment can be got out of men and women of any and every vocation, says the New Bedford Standard. The person who wishes he were something else than what he actually is can be found at almost any minute of the day by any one who takes the pains to inquire. Not much is proved by it, except that, in the first place, there are too many square pegs in round holes, and that, in the second place, there are more pegs for which there are no appropriate holes than is good for the community. We have no question that the nine clergymen and the ten teachers who wish they had chosen some other manner of life were not conspicuous successes in the occupations they had selected, and it is rather to be doubted if all of them would have been successes in any of the occupations which they wish they had selected. It is not difficult for a clergyman to dream that he would have made a great lawyer, or for a school teacher An English writer has turned his eyes toward a group of the enormously rich men of this country and asks if it would be possible for the wealth and power they and others represent to be welded together in the cause of a world peace. He says: "Would a 'peace trust' be possible under the existing conditions of social and political life? A 'war trust' is not an unknown thing, since every great loan promoted for the benefit of a fighting nation is a proof of capitalistic organization. The Rockefellers, Morgans Vanderbilt and Carnegies of America, together with countless men whose absurd riches have been made less ostentatiously, have not inherited the tradition of making money for the mere pleasure of the making; they are likely to establish a tradition for themselves. They have ideas, and would like to be numbered among the immortals. The opportunity presents itself; they could combine their influence upon the world's stock markets, declare themselves the opponents of any financial group that sought to make war possible and in the moment when the strength of their attitude was recognized they would be hailed as saviors of mankind. Toward the upper end of the ghats is the burning ground. There are no steps here, but a slope of beaten dirt. Stop half an hour and you may see every step of the cremation rites. Sitting on stone ramparts above, to right and left, are friends and relatives of the dead ones. The figure to the right, huddled up in a bright green wrap, is of the lowest caste of Hindus and keeps the mat shed near by where the sacred fire for igniting every corpse is for sale. You hear hoarse, loud cries of "Ram! Ramana!" and behold, a burial procession is coming down the slope. Four men carry the corpse slung between two bamboo poles, and cry to the god Ram. He is the personification of filial love, and thus it is meet that they should call him to witness. They swing down to the river and immerse the corpse. It is wrapped in a white shroud stained with red blotches. Then they lift the head slightly out of the water and "We often receive peculiar requests for overdrafts," said a banker the other day. "A client whose standing account had never exceeded $1,000 requested us to grant him an overdraft of $4,000, stating that he was not able to offer an explanation at the present, but assured us that at no time would the bank be in any danger of losing, as the overdraft would not be real. "After some hesitancy we consented but stipulated certain conditions, and reserved the privilege of, refusing if these conditions were not followed. "Shortly after his departure a well-dressed gentleman came in and handed to our paying teller a check for $5,000 bearing the signature of our client, and with it a letter requesting us to honor the check with cash. This letter was one of the conditions we The room is in disorder and the things are scattered round. Mixed up with blocks and playthings the up desk is found; the books are off the table, and the poker's on the floor— And I view a scene of ravage as I open wide the door. But in wide smiling up with saucy eyes at me. I see the inspiration of all this bedlamry. And, with his hand a-waving, he toddles up. Our fuzzy bedroom buccaneer, our iconoclast—"the boy."

But the great lawyers and the splendid captains of industry might, if they would tell some stories of disillusion about the business. They would certainly say that if unsuccessful preachers and teachers put no more effort and interest into the law or into industry than they have put into preaching and teaching, the end would be the same disappointment and the same longing for something else. "Happy is the man who has found his work." It is a pity that so many persons have apparently not found the work that they could best do and be happy in it. But sometimes it appears to us as if those who complain because they did not choose rightly, and who give up their thought to speculations of how much better they could have done if they had done something else, are not quite doing themselves and their opportunities full justice. The secret of happiness in an occupation is usually in the worker himself more than it is in the occupation. And it mostly comes from the disposition and the determination to do the best possible, even if a mistake or bad fortune have made a wrong choice. Not in fancying that better could have been done, but in doing the best you can where you are is found the recipe of contentment with a life-work. "Czars, kalsers, sultans and all of their kind," he continues, "would take their place in the tail of the new comet; the men who raised the preservation of peace to the level of the selling of low-flash oil, the collection of works of fine art valued chiefly for their price, and the packing of pork would send the echoes of their name and fame reverberating down the ages. Incidentally there would be money in the business. The greater demand for steel and corn and oil would add to the existing wealth; the general sense of security would encourage new industries—perhaps lead through the gateway of the trusts to the millennium of which Edward Bellamy dreamed. "Finance started the present war in the east and can end it. The real power that makes or mars war is money. The people who wield the power can decide the fate of empires. Is it unreasonable to suppose that the time is near at hand when some man will wield the diverse forces into a solid mass, and will give the world the gift that is worth all the hospitals and free libraries in the world—the gift of permanent tranquillity? Surely not." remove the shroud from the face, splashing water five times upon the mouth. Others, in the meantime, are building a wooden oyre, made of fagots sold near by, and when finished standing three feet or more above ground. The corpse, its dark color showing through the dripping shroud, is then placed on the wooden altar and covered with fagots. This done, all but two mount the ramparts and watch the final ceremony. Of the two remaining, one pours oil upon the wood from a small clay dish, while the other goes to the firehouse above. He soon returns with a long straw wisp, blazing at one end. He advances to the corpse's head, touches it with the wisp, and then circles the pyre five times, touching the head each time until the fifth, when he places the blazing wisp beneath the feet and the whole pile bursts into flame. When all is consumed the ashes are raked into the river and float away to bliss eternal. F. J. O. Alsop in Outing. imposed for our safety. Still feeling that we were taking a chance, the teller asked what denominations he desired. He replied and the money was passed out to him. After holding the currency a moment in his hands he returned it, with a request for the check, which he destroyed before us.

Md. as follows: "Though somewhat averse to patent medicines, and still more averse to becoming a professional affidavit man, it seems only a plain duty in the present instance to add my experience to the columns already written concerning the curative powers of Peruna. "I have been particularly benefited by its use for colds in the head and throat. I have been able to fully cure myself of a most severe attack in forty-eight hours by its use according to directions. I use it as a preventive whenever threatened with an attack. "Members of my family also use it for like ailments. We are recommending it to our friends." - C. W. Bowman.

It was a Turkish rug, lying on the perfectly waxed, hardwood floor, in a ball where neatness seemed to reign along with all the appointments of ‘wealth, But there was that almost {mper- ceptible dust. How did {t come there? if you had ears that could hear its voices it would tell you. It would say that it had clutched a fold on the beautiful Iady’s gown and come in from the street. Tt was a beautiful gown as well as a eautiful Iedy—a tallor-made gown, and {ts fashionable bias flounce trailed stylishly on the ground. Everything was stylish about the lady, from her fair face, with rather deep circles below the eyes, to her slender and handsome walking shoes. She walked trailing her gown Properly, dust or no dust. Indeed, she ignored the dust of the street; but will the dust ignore her? Let us listen, if she will not, for this almost imperceptible dust moves and acts with fearful force, and it we listen possibly we may understand its language. 2 Soon after coming In on the beaut!- ful lady's gown, other steps followed and other gowns helped to move the dust along farther into the nouse; but it had a fancy for the beautiful lady. Her frallness attracted {t and it fol- Jowed her to the bed chamber. Her feet had never trod the loathsome precincts whence it came, but it came to her on her gown. Soon there came to the chamber a AUlttle child, a sweet, rosy cherub. In its romping it stirred the dust about. Then the dust began to be sepa- rated, being formed of many particles, and these talked among themselves. As they talked they danced back and forth, waltzing, swirling, capering, with every motion of the child and its mamma, the beautiful lady. A scientist could have understood them if he had caught some of them under his microscope. He would have called them “germs.” With what alarm he would have recognized the diphtheritic, and with what dismay ‘would he have seen the tuberculous germ approaching the frail lady. Back and forth, dancing, capering, waltzing, the germs kept time while daby, in its mother's arms, sald, as thousands of other little ones were ‘saying— “Now I lay me down to sleep, T pray the Lord my soul to keeps I'Tshould die betore 1 wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.” This baby was saying it for the last time. When night came again, thousands of little voices sent up the baby pray- ers, but this one was gasping out its little life on mamma's bosom—de- stroyed by a germ. ‘A yellow card at the front door ‘warned all comers against diphtheria. The beautiful lady vainly sought health for a year or more, then found rest “beyond the sorrow and the part- ing.” “Broken hearted,” {t was said. “Found death in the dust of the atreet,” sald the microscope. A. vic- tim of the long skirt. Fashion and Consumption. In all American cities and most of the larger towns promiscuous expec- toration is prohibited. There are or. dinances and rules against spitting in public conveyances, on the floors of assembly halls and on the sidewalks. Of necessity, however, this cannot ba prevented in the gutters and on the pavements. By educating the tuborculosis pa- tient himself in regard to his duty to his fellow citizen much more can be done. A careful consumptive is a good citizen; a careless consumptive is an enemy to society and the state. Even with the civil and self-imposed precautions, the dust of the highway and crossings 1s teeming with various disease germs. It is practically 1m- possible to eliminate these beds of filth, In the cleanest streets such col- ‘onles of germs are present. The use of long, dragging skirts on the average highway 1s the height of folly. It 1s worse. It is absolutely dangerous. The sweeping cloth picks up dust and dampened particles car- tying tubercular germs. They are thus transplanted into the very house- hold. In thie simply yet sadly effec- tive way, the children, so carefully guarded, are exposed to the dreaded plague. The entire family, satisfled with their fancied security, are stunned when tuberculosis claims one of their loved ones. It may not strike the family circles. ‘The household servants may be af- fected. Many of the deaths of domes- tics have their explanation. The mis- tress, after a shopping tour, leaves hor mud-bordered skirt for the maid to clean. Ia the cloud of dust arising from the brush the fatal bacillus lurks, ‘The girl, already weakened from too long hours indoors, suc- cumbs. A few weeks later she Is forced to stop work and waste away in hopeless dependence on her over- ‘burdened family or at public expense, Another girl is easly obtained and the careless mistress never suspects any connection between her fooish fashion and the doomed domestic’s sad fate. Expectoration on the streets can never be stopped. The streets cannot be kept clean, But this can be done— every woman should wear sensible ‘skirts entirely clearing tne ground. This will entirely ellminate this great ‘avenue of tuberculosis invasion. A Vegetarian Dinner. Soup Vogel, intro Rogat Iinperial. Beatloned Potatoes. Chopped Cabbage. Macaroni with Tomato.

We have heard much about the American stomach and the American nerves, but we are just awakening to © discovery that there is being rapidly developed a form of heart disease which, if not peculiar to America, may at least be said to be more prevalent in this country than in any other part of the world. The heart-weakness re- sulting from the use of tobacco and alcohol and from a sedentary life on the one hand, and extremely violent exertion on the other hand, is no long. er @ rare condition, but has come to be one of the most common affections with which the physician has to deal. A large proportion of the men reject. ed in the army examinations are re- fused on account of heart weakness. A large proportion of the public men who die suddenly die as a result of the failure of the heart. The same may be sald also of many of the cases in which the cause of death is reported to be pneumonia, typhoid fe- ver and other affections in which spe cial strain 1s brought to bear upon the heart, and in which the failure of the organ to meet the emergency is one of the most common causes of death. The cigar, the cigarette and the pipe are probably the most common cause of this growing frequency of cardiac af- fections; but the neglect of physical exercise, overeating, the use of condi: ments and excesses of all sorts are also to a large degree responsible for the rapid inciease of this grave mal ady. SOME WHOLESOME RECIPES. | Vegetable Soup.—Simmer together slowly for three or four hours, in five ‘quarts of water, a quart of split peas, a slice of carrot, a slice of white tur- nip, one cup of canned tomatoes and two stalks of celery cut into small bits, When done, rub through a col- | ander, add milk to make of proper con- sistency, reheat, season with salt and cream, and serve. Roast Imperial—Mix together one- half cup of lentil pulp (prepared by Tubbing well-cooked lentils through a colander), one-half cup of pease pulp, one-half cup of English walnuts, and season to tarte with sage and salt. ‘Line an oled baking dish one-half inch deep with the mixture. Pack in loosely a dressing made from the fol- lowing ingredients: Four slices of -awieback, steamed until softened, one- ‘half cup of hot cream, sage and salt to taste, and one well-beaten egg. Mix ‘together lightly with a fork. Cover closely with peas, lentil and nut mix- ‘ture. Spread over the top thick cream, bake in a moderate oven until firm | enough to cut into slices. Serve with cranberry sauce or frult jelly. Scalloped Potatoes—Pare the pota- tocs and slice thin; put them in lay- ers in an earthen pudding dish, dredg- ing each layer lightly with flour, add salt, and pour over all enough good, rich milk to cover well. Cover, and bake rather slowly till tender, remov- ing the cover just long enough before the potatoes are done, to brown nice ly. If preferred, a little less milk may be used, and a cup of thin cream add- ed when the potatoes are nearly done. ‘Chopped Cabbage. —Take one pint of finely chopped cabbage; pour over It ‘a dressing made of three tablespoon- fuls of lemon juice, two tablespoontuls of sugar, and a half cup of whipped cream, thoroughly beaten together in the order named. This is also nice served simply with sugar and diluted lemon julce. Macaroni With Tomato Sauce— Break macaroni into inch lengths, enough to make one cup, and drop into boiling water. Let it boll until perfectly tender. In the meantime, prepare the sauce by rubbing a pint of stewed or canned tomatoes through a colander to remove all seeds and fragments. Heat to boiling, thicken with a little flour; a tablespoonful to the pint will be about the requisite proportion. Add a half cup of very thin sweet cream and one teaspoonful of salt, Dish the macaroni in indi- vidual dishes, and serve with a small quantity of the sauce poured over each dish. Steamed Fig Pudding.—Molsten two cupfuls of finely grated Graham bread crumbs with half a cup of thin sweet cream. Mix into it a heaping cupful of finely chopped fresh figs, and a quarter of a cup of sugar. Add lastly ‘a cup of sweet milk, Turn all into a pudding dish, and steam about two and one-half hours. Serve as soon as done with a lemon sauce prepared as follows: Heat to boiling in a double boiler a pint of water in which are two slices of lemon, and stir into it a dessert spoonful of cornstarch; cook four or five minutes, or until it thick- ens, Squeeze the juice from one larga, lemon, and mix it with twothids of a cup of sugar. Add this to the corn: starch mixture, and allow the whole to boil xg once, stirring constantly; then take ifem the fire. Leave in the double boiler, surrounded by the hot water, for ten minutes. Cool to blood heat before serving. \ cee Y a h <<" S| ‘ENO Q as oh PEN: ee at.

The Democratic Donkey Yearns for the Free-Trade Thistle Patch, While the Socialistic Steer Pulls Toward the Fat Pasture of Government Own: ‘ership. Aggressive Democracy is in the sad: dle, we are told. ‘That was the mes- sage delivered by Chicago's new mayor, Judge Dunne, in his speech at the Jefferson banquet of April 13. Here is the new program: “If the Democratic platform con tains one plank in favor of the gov. ernment ownership of railways, tele. graphs and express companies, and another in favor of the abolition of the protective tariff, I have no doubt that it will win. “If the protective tariff be abolished and the government takes possession of the means of transportation, of con: veyance, of freight express packages, and. jaformation, every dangerous trust in America will die a natural death in five years,” Free trade hitches up with soctal- ism; aggression and destruction pull together. How will the combination work? Free trade will take away the Jobs of some millions of wage earn ers, Will a national government pro- vide other places for the unemployed! If not, there must come a fearful cut: ting down of wages, which will affect all lines of employment. Half of the Present rate of pay will have to be accepted by government employees as well as the rest of the workers. This ‘will be pleasing to the free trade hall of the aggressive Democracy team To reduce wages and make things cheapeg has always been the chief end and ai ot free traders. But will i be plegsing to the Socialistic off ox! ‘Probably not. If anybody thinks this ‘beast of burden is going to relish working for the government at lower wages than he now gets from private corporations he had best think again; he doesn’t know the Socialist animal. The Democratic donkey might stand for It, but not the Socialistie steer. So it appears certain that there Is trouble ahead for aggressive Democ- racy. Its program of smashing pri- vate rights of ownership and at the same time smashing public prosperity possesses some features of interest, to be sure; but it has its drawbacks, a ‘Raeente Sant Rinkas. ‘The New York Evening Post says: “The most rapid gain in general bus ness, according to trustworthy trade authorities has been experienced since March 1, and unless something hap pens to check the activity the month will roll up records that will surpas: all previous exhibits for that period.” The New York Evening Post 1s 4 mugwump newspaper always in favor of ripping the tariff. If business is good as deseribed by the Evening Post, why {s it necessary to disturb the tariff? Why not let well enough alone? The treasury needs the money and the country needs the business. Sometimes we think these tariff rip- pers want to disturb the business of the country to make a crash in order to buy things cheaper, Tariff ripping would depress prices and real estate could be bought much cheaper than at the present time. Possibly the rip: pers have a speculation in mind, de- siring to bankrupt the country and thus buy things, intending to hold them until reason had again asserted ‘her sway and a high tariff: been again ‘enacted, thus getting the benefit of ‘the rise. But a careful analysis of the situa. tion will demonstrate that the people who are now tariff rippers have always been tariff rippers. They are not con verts, but old timers, They want cheaper products and lower wages. A great many of them are Importers who are in Europe every summer, ‘They want it so that money will buy more at home, because they learn all about cheapness abroad.—Des Moines Capi- tal To Help Manufacturers, The new Bureau of Manufactures in the Department of Commerce and La: bor, {t is announced by its chief, J.

The field is there for It, and a short test of its value ought to be the means of bringing a more generous appropriation at the next session of Congress.—New York Commercial. THE TARIFF AND THE WEST. Farmers Not Eager for Revision That le Againet Their interests. We must confess to a disappearing ardor for tariff revision when we sce leaders in the agitation direct thelr efforts against farmers, the leading business men of this great western country. For farming is a business, Just like the making of shoes or fab. ties, and whatever removes protec tion from the products of the farm {s apt to affect the industry in the same way that It would to put manufactur ed goods on the free list. There is an unconcealed effort tc get hides placed on the free list, We are told that cattle are sold for theit meat value and that hides are no por tion of the animals as they are passed to the block. But everybody knows that hides arg an important by-product and any action of Congress that would depre clate their value would similarly af fect the value of animals on foot ott !8 & notable fact, says the Carroll lowa, Herald that the source of this ‘demand for free hides is in the manu facturing districts of New England where parties interested want cheap er “raw materials.” If hides are per mitted to come free of duty the cat tle men of Mexico and Central ani Southern America will supply the de mand and the lowa farmers will suf fer correspondingly What may be raw material to th Eastern manufacturer, may be th ‘Anished product of the Western farm er. The finished products of the West ern farms are corn, wheat, cattle hides and whatever may come from the fleld or feed lot. ‘The farmer’ operations do not extend to the pro cesses of the factory or the counting house, His finished products are raw material to the manufacturers, and he Is as much entitled to protection under our system of affairs as the persons who take his products and turn them into articles of utility for the consumers. Before confidence ean be placed tn the promise that free hides will not result In Injury to the interests of the Western farmer it will be necessary for advocates of free hides to produce statisties supporting their contention We want to know the probable loss from removal of the tarift and the probable gain from the promised re duction in shoes and products of leather, ‘Then we shall ask for some assur: ance that we shall get_a compensa tory concession in the event of the removal of the tariff on hides. In the meantime we believe that the farm ing classes are not anxious for a modification of the tariff that Is aimed directly against their interests.—Tren ton Gazette. Coming to the Front.

IN KANSAS CITY, The paid circulation of THE RISING SON is more than double the combined circulation of all the other Kansas City Golored weekly newspapers. Success, in whatever field, must crown the efforts of a man who is loyal to himself, his wife and children, and his church. Such a man not only shines in personal magnificence, but his example tends to lift up the race. The Son has always maintained a position toward the Republican party of strong loyalty. A representative of the Son was told the other day that he though the party had paid the Negro newspapers and that it was under no obligation to them. The Son wants it understood that the party has paid it nothing. We have been put of from time to time on promises. The time has come when promises fail to pay our bills. If this old politician lives he will soon be looking us up. U. S. MARSHAL E. R. DURHAM Frequent mention is made of the satisfactory manner in which the office of U. S. Marshal, E. R. Durham, has been conducted during his incumbency. Such complimentary remarks leads to the conclusion that the efforts of the marshal to make his administration a successful one, have not been in vain. Mr. Durham has kept a colored balliff in his office most of the time. This is an evidence that he has tried to give a square deal all around so far as patronage is concerned. THRIVE ON VEGETARIAN DIET. Wild and Domestic Animals Grow Fat and Intelligent. Although carnivorous animals are capable of marvelous feats of strength they have nothing like the endurance of the herbivorous animals, nor are they so long-lived. The animals of greatest service to man on account of their strength, fleetness or endurance—the horse, the elephant, the cannel, the ox—are all vegetarian animals. The gorilla, which is said to be, for his size, the strongest and most intelligent beast in the forest, is frugivorous. He has often been known to beat a lion to death with a club, and it is said that he will even kill an elephant in like manner. Dogs are in much better condition in every way when confined to a strictly vegetarian diet. Every dog-trainer knows that meat spoils a dog's wind, and also his scent. On this point an old hunter out West said: "I have a dog that can scent a bird two hundred feet away; but when I feed him meat he can't scent a bird half a rod off. Besides that, when I feed him meat he has no wind; he can't run." That cats also can be kept in perfect condition on a vetarian diet many a vegetarian family can testify. The mistress of a handsome pair of kittens says of them: "These beautiful Maltese kittens are vegetarians. They have never eaten meat of any kind. Their favorite dishes are protose, nuttolene, potatoes, green corn and baked beans. In disposition they are gentle, affectionate and unusually intelligent. My children have taught them to run a race, try to catch a rubber ball, and play a game of hide-and-seek. Fat, healthy and happy are these vegetarian kittens."—Exchange. In Australia there are 210 churches to every hundred thousand people, a larger number per capita than any other country. England has 141 and Russia but fifty-five. When a girl must admit that another girl is pretty, she says that she is like a "doll." In the United States wages on an average are more than twice those in Germany, Spain and Italy and one and Belgium three times those of Denmark, one half those of England and Scotland NO DANGER AT ALL. That is, According to the Captain's Line of Reasoning. My grandmother's brother Silas was what perhaps now might be called a crank, but in his own day and generation he was spoken of as a "regular unaccountable." He lived with his sister until her death, and, when grandfather came to live with us, he insisted upon staying alone in the old house, where he could do as he pleased. His original ways were a source of unfailing delight to me, though held in great scorn by my grandfather, who had been master of a whaler at 24, and was a man of no mean ability in other directions. One frosty October morning I ran over the way to see what Uncle Silas was u to, and found the old man seated before a crackling red-hot stove, stirring with a long-handled spoon some dark substance in the frying pan. Many a savory coot stew of Uncle Silas' making had I enjoyed with him, and I asked eagerly, What you doing, Uncle Silas?" "Powder was a leetle damp and I'm drying of her off," was the startling reply. Off I ran as fast as my little legs could carry me. "Grandpa," I asped as I tumbled into our kitchen, "Uncle Silas has got his powder in a pan on a red-hot stove. He's drying of her off. Come quick or he'll be blown to pieces." Grandfather calmly pressed the tobacco into the bowl of his pipe with his thumb, and, without looking up, said, soothingly, 'Sho, sonny, don't be scairt. To naught, naught can happen."—Boston Herald. SIGNALING WITH THE DRUM Also, How an Umbrella Supplanted Wireless Telegraphy. The natives of the West Coast of Africa have little need for wireless telegraph, according to a story told by a missionary at the rooms of the Presbyterian Foreign Board. Talking of the susceptibility of the native African to rhythm he told this incident: The African always calls the people together by means of a drum. The drum varies in size, but is always made by hollowing out a section of a log. The drum not only tells the people of the meeting, but its purpose as well. The news which may be thus sent is astonishing. On one occasion a missionary was in the Palaya House at Efulen, at some distance from his home. A rainstorm came up and he had no umbrella. A drummer, learning his need, tapped a message to a friend and in a short time the latter appeared with an umbrella. The natives have no alphabet and an umbrella is not usually in the requirements of a palaya. How, then did the drummer make himself under stood? During native wars the government has to prohibit the use of drums as the natives are able with them to send news from one village to another. The Road.

The Berkshires will be the center of the diplomatic colony throughout the coming summer, Great Britain, Germany and Austria having already engaged quarters at Lenox. The ambassador and Lady Durand will remain in America during the summer. The Russian ambassador has not decided upon his summer home, but wherever the czar's embassy is located it will be without the Countess Marguerite Cassini, as she sails with her former governess and present companion on Tuesday to pass the entire summer in Europe. The French ambassador and Mme. Jusserand will spend the summer in Europe and the Italian ambassador and Baroness Mayor Des Planches at Atlantic City. Case of Blackmail. "Reginald," confided she, and there was a quaver of fear in her voice, "I'm afraid papa will never consent to our marriage." "Oh, yes, he will," said her lover, confidently, "in fact, I don't see how he can refuse." "But dearest, I fear he dislikes you. Haven't you noticed how he seizes on every pretext to avoid you of late?" "That's all right. He borrowed $10 of me a couple of weeks ago. Cheer up, lovey; we've got the old gentleman where we want him now." And in truth it did seem so.—Cleveland Leader. Sounded Queer. "Well, well; it looks as if this paper got these names mixed up." "What does it say." "It says: 'Last evening Policeman Caesar Johnson arrested a man named Michael Gilhooly in the act of stealing some chickens.'" And, "Won't you take my peg-top, dear?" Was all that he could say. She bit her little pinafore, Close to his side she came; She whispered, "No; no, thank you, Tom." And won't you take my heart?" he said, She blushed, and said, "Thank you. same. forty years care and joy; g-top still boy; sweet wife." says he, you fame"； no," thank you. Tom, the same." F. E.

You've loved me all the same!" —F. E. Weatherly. NOVEL OF THE FUTURE. Hall Caine Says Its Purpose Will Be to Inculcate Religion. Hall Calne thinks that the novel of the future will become more and more the religious novel, and that it will only be accepted, whether by the plowman or the philosopher, in the degree in which it unites with the simplest pictures of human life the deepest problems of humanity. "I think it will be realized," he says, "that the capacity of the novel for any work whatsoever, whether a simple entertainment or of deep teaching, is entirely without limit; that there is no vehicle so capable of reaching a wide area, no medium so adaptable to the needs of man in all his stages of intellectual development; in a word, that there is no pupil with a sounding board that will send the human voice so far." Mrs. Blox—"Miss Blank says she always uses lemon juice on her face; it's good for the complexion." Miss Knox—"I wonder what gave her that sour look." The secret of many a man's success in the world resides in his insight into the moods of men, and his tact in dealing with them. Caesar would not have crossed the Rubicon or Washington the Delaware, had they not had their minds on objects far above the perils at their feet. --- ANNOUNCEMENT ies for Less Than $9,000.00.

On Friday evening, May 12, Allen Chapel's choir rendered one of the most laughable and pleasing entertainments that has been given in this church for a long while. It was given to assist the choir in paying for their robes. The program was well rendered. The selections were old and familiar songs, sung not with regard to harmony, but to test the quality of the lungs and to see who could make the larger number of discords. Mr. Crump and Mrs. Robinson led all others in this respect. Miss Ophelia Watts and Miss Emma Collins made such a hit that they were compelled to appear again in response to an encore. The fortune teller by Mr. Fox, Miss Foster, Mr. Roberts and Mrs. Hammett was an excellent number and was well executed. Afterwards the most laughable part of the program occurred when each one in verse appeared to tell why they never married. Many requests were made, that the choir repeat the program which they will probably do. The attendance was three hundred. J. H. C. THE SCHOOL TEACHERS' PROBLEM. "Now brothers and sisters shame on you, You can teach and fool me too, You can fool me now and then, But fowls don't walk at 2 p. m." The above is a quotation from a Negro comedian who appeared before a theatre audience not long since and it may fittingly apply to the several Negro teachers whose conduct has effected adverse public comment. But the mothers and fathers of our youth must take up this question and agitate it until we are accorded that which is just and right. It is a burden which you must shoulder until a better condition is made to prevail. You mothers, whose best days have been spent in honest toll that your children might receive the education and training which the public school system was established to give them, cannot hope to reap the reward of your effort when your children are allowed to be taught by those around whom bad influence centers. If the example set by the teacher is bad what hope can be entertained for the child? The point which the Son would clearly bring before the parents is that the teachers employed to educate and train your children should be of the highest type in point of character and fitness. Their moral standard should be of the best and their ability beyond question. We believe it is the duty of the school board to see to it that the colored schools are as well equipped with teachers of character and ability as are the white schools. If the school board allows itself to be guided by the advice of the principal in the selection or recommendation of teachers it is the duty of the principal to commend only such teachers as are morally and intellectually fit to teach children. 901 03 MATTHAEIS BAKERY 901 If on the best you would be fed, Then feed daily, on If on the best you would be fed.

Prof. Frederick Starr, of the University of Chicago, in his study of the different races of the world, has had many amusing experiences among primitive tribesmen. To an Indian, one day, he attempted to explain the principle of the automobile. The Indian was intelligent, and Professor Starr's explanation was a model of directness and lucidity. "Well," he said at the end. "do you think you understand all about the automobile now?" The Indian, who had listened intently, replied: --- COPYRIGHTED BY THE HOUSE OF RUPPENMEIER Our Spring Suits We Believe that you know what kind of a suit you want for Spring.

For a moment the room swam and che saw nothing distinctly—only a dark form. Then she saw clearly, ut- tered a slight gasp and went white as chalk, “Paul!” she cried. He stepped quickly forward. "Yes, Paul,” he answered, “I owe you an apology for this meeting for I knew and you did not. But apologies are fot honest for I wrote the play for the express purpose of meeting you thus. Let me tell you, The separa: tion became intolerable and I finally knew what a hot headed fool I had been and that I never could help lov: ine you and wanting you. I knew you would not receive me—the situa- tion had become too bad, Besides 1 had some pride and you had told me that I never would be anything but a worthless idler anyway and had not te stamina to do anything. So I thought it all out bow reconetliation might come about easily and uatur- ally, Then I was puzzled how to get to you with the idea, In the mean- time you had become an actress and I was forever hearing of your triumphs. 1 never could bear to go and see you there, But it flashed upon me that I could write my idea into a play and get you, somehow or other to play it ‘Then you must realize. | worked many weary months in the play, Then I craployed Levy to get it to you, I did hot dare go to see it at first, but when it went so well I took courage. I was terribly disappointed. You were great in the first part and greater in the quarrels and separation, but cold and formal—but artistic in the last. So I waited. I went night before last and I knew my hour was come, for you understood the reconciliation. Ig it not 80?" She was standing rigid with clenched hands drinking in his words. Their eyes met, the divine sparks flew, He held out his arms and she swayed and fell into them. So the world lost a great actress, but gained two happy hearts, “You sald you employed Levy tc get the play to me,” said Georgiana one day in a reminiscent mood. “Did you pay him?” “Pay him,” replied Paul, laughing “If you saw my check book you would think Ldid. I told him he could name his price if he could get you to ac cept the play without royalties an¢ without price.” Georgiana smiled a roguish smile ‘and whispered something {2 her lov or's ear. He started and exclaimed. “The te fernal scoundrel. He bled both of ue Ti cane him.” “No, Paul" — smiled Georgiana. “Don't you think it was worth the price?” TRICKS OF THE SNIPE. Bird Has Many Methods for Use In Basaivina buskas. “T have hunted snipe ever since | was a boy,” said Dr. 8. H. Moore, “anc each year T have learned some new trick of this long billed bird of erratic ‘flight fame. The ‘possum is a tyre “compared with the snipe In its effort: to deceive the hunter, “Twas hunting with George C. Mor rison near the gun club's grounds a few days ago, and for an hour or more we did not see a snipe or hear a ‘scalpe.' Just as we reached the bug gy, with the intention of returning tc the city, a snipe rose a few feet away from the ground over which we had tramped. A second later another got up and began its quick, tortuous flight skyward, We bagged both with snap: shots. “The birds seemingly had laid low in tufts of grass, watching our move. ments, and supposed themselves safe when they saw us preparing to depart. Mr. Morrison and [ started back over the ground we had hunted, kicking each bunch of grass and dry weeds as we went along, and in half an hour we had raised a dozen snipe and killed most of them, Occasionally, when we missed kicking a bunch of weeds, a snipe would rise behind us, dart along the surface of the ground and then suddenly move upward in corkserew- lke gyrations. The only thing akin to foolishness of which a snipe might be accused is its misjudgment of the distance a modern choke bore gun will carry. It has a score of cunning tricks of filght as well as the ‘possum-like trick I have just mentioned.”Indianap- alle News.

Practically all attempts at unification have been on creedal lines; many of them have but led to deeper divistons. Here, however, {s an entirely prac- ticable’ platform for Christian unity. It sets its basis in character rather than in creed. The unity of the faith is to come by approximation to a com- mon likeness and not by stultification of the mind to any common system of logic; by growth and not by repres. von; not by cutting out the diver. gencies but by developing the essen- tsafs held in common, And these es: sentials are found to be not in any stetements even of the most vital be- ets, but In the realization of a cer- tain type of character. Christly char- acter 1s the common possession of all true Christians, It is thelr distin. gvishing mark, Practically a Chris. tlan man is a Christian, no matter what his creed; character is the stamp that determines this colnage. The great world has long recognized this Scriptural standard as the only vorth while test of orthodoxy. It re- ceives as Christian only the things stat are Christlike, Refusing to be bothered with bickering over subtle speculations, it knows men by what they are, leaving what they think to take care of itself. Men know that the church {s one not because they ray the same words, but because they do the same works. So long as the mind lives {t will be impossible to conform all minds to any one idea, but lives find {t easy to ‘be conformed to some great ideal. And the greater the ideal the larger ‘the number who can make {t their ype. So great is Christ that every iran finds something worthy in Him. Drawn to Him, men are drawn to one another. Nothing leads like a life; this life leads and lifts, It is the wegnet of all manhood. It imparts life. Knowing Him, virtue becomes vital. He sets the standard and He furnishes the Inspiration to reach it. Ke is more than the foundation of the ckurch; he is its foree. The churches may never present to the world a solid front of coldly formu- lated arguments, of metaphysical def- initions, of divinity and destiny, But tvey must and they do present to all criticism and all opposition the un- treakable line of a common life, a life athrill with admiration of and devo- tion to his all glorious life, pulsating with the power of that divine life, in- spired with the vision of what that lure must do for the world, of the day when all men shall have his life and all men shall attain to the full-grown man, when heaven shall come to earth Lecause men have come to God, have come to Godlikeness, Unity begins in life; where there 1s cne life there will be one body, and ‘where there 1s one body there will soon te one mind. They who do His deeds skall know of His doctrine, One ‘cause, one character will, at last, lead 0 one creed. Let but the importance of living his life and finishing his work in a sad and lost world be once realized and men will become so engrossed in this they will forget thelr old conflicts of words; and at last, some day when the work {s done and the kingdom has come, they shall waken and with the clearer vision of that better day shall zee that living one life has led them into one creed, and that one His creed. Chicago Tribune. Power of Personal Influence. The best argument in the world for Christianity is a Christian. “Come and see" was the strongest proof the woman had to offer when she report: ed the marvelous Interview she had with Jesus at the well of Sychar. ‘There can be no argument of chemis- try in proof of the sweetness of the odor of the flowers like the present perfume of the rose; the shining of the stars {s better evidence of their existence than all the figures of the astronomer; the restored health of a patient is a better certificate of the doctor's skill than a score of parch- ments hung upon his office walls; the testimony of the almanac {s not half as convincing of the coming of spring 4s the softened alr, the verdant sun shine, and the bursting vegetation When men question the divinity of Jesus, let them find evidence not in apologies, or history, or long-drawn arguments. Look for it in a regener. ated man. The divinity in him proves conclusively the divinity of Him from whom It came. It 4s an old story of the minister who delivered @ notable series of discours es on infidelity, and was delighted to find an infidel seeking membership in his church. “Which of my argu ments did you find most convincing?’ asked the minister afterward. “No argument moved me," he replied, “but the face and manner of an old blind woman who sits in one of the front pews. I supported her one day as she was groping along. and, putting out her hand to me, she asked, ‘Do you love my blessed Savior?’ Her Jook of deep content, her triumphant tones, her unquestioning faith, made me re- alize, as never before, that He who could make one, so afflicted and help- less, bright and glad, must be a bless. ed Savior, indeed, That was an ar gument I could not answer.” ‘The Easy Yoke. It ts better to obey Christ's con. mandments than to set ourselves against them. For if we will take His will for our law, and meekly assume the yoke of loyal and loving obedience to Him, the door into an earthly para ¢ise 1s thrown open to us. His “yoke is easy,” not because its prescriptions and provisions lower the standard ot righteousness and morality, but be cause love becomes the motive; and it 1s always blessed to do that which the beloved desires. Christ's yoke is easy because He gives the power to obey His command ments. His “burden” is such a bur. den (as I think of one of the old fa thers put it) as sails are to a ship or wings to a bird. They add to the weight, but they carry that which carries them. So Christ's yoke bears the man that bears it. It is easy, too, because “in"—and rot only after or for—“keeping of it there is great reward”; seeing that He commands nothing which {s not congruous with the highest good and bringing along with it the purest blessing. Instead of that yoke what has the world to offer or what do we get to dominate us if we cast off Christ? Self, the old anarch self, and that 1s misery. To be self-ruled is te be self-destroyed.—Dr. Maclaren. Vinated Bikamiciieen mabe. The great moralities of the Chris tian life can be very austere, the spa clous virtues of character can be very threatening. Purity and justice, in tegrity and righteousness, do not ai ways throw a spell about men, and the heart {s not drawn to them by the power of an irresistible attrac tion, But simple words that are bur dened with love, and gracious speech which is the vehicle of noble sympa thy, are still one of the finest instru ments for doing the will of Jesus ‘They have often been the master key to which many an obstinate locic has readily yielded, and stubborn doors have opened to their touch as to an irresistible compulsion. And this {s the possibility of every lover of our Lord Jesus. ‘If we will discipline our tongues, they may speak to the sor. rowing, to the half-hearted, and to the hesitant those words which shall be the first beginning of a larger life and @ brighter day. Our “Let not your heart be troubled” shall be reminis cent of the voice of Jesus; our “Be of good cheer” the light on the horizon that prophesies to the night the quickly coming day; and our “Be of good courage" the seed of new im: pulse and large energies which holds within itself the promise of final vic tory. Qa Miatenn Gils Manuane, ‘She cad stretcnes out is arms and calls to its father and mother for help. And the parents love {ts call. That voice of dependence, desire, con: fidence, is music to their hearts. No parent, however tender and wise, would wish his child never to ask any: thing from him. It would be very un- natural for a child to say, “My father has arranged all for me; he will do his best, and I need never tell him a trouble or a wish.” Bvery true par. ent loves to hear his child asking comfort in trouble, protection in dan- ger, and the supply of its wants. And God, who made a father's heart, rep- resents Himself as our Father, and teaches us as children to “call upon Him in the day of trouble."—Rev Newman Hall. Making a Life and Making a Living.

The collie struck up an acquain- tance with the archbishop while the latter was taking his customary walk in Fairmount park about a year ago. Since then he has been an attache of the archiepiscopal household. He knows how to put his paws together in an attitude of prayer, he “sings” and exhibits signs of regret for mis: behavior, The students of the cathe dral school have taken great paing with his religious education and he would no more think of barking while services are in progress than he would of trying to pick a quarrel with the sculptured hound on the lawn of the episcopal residence. At times of religious processions he assumes an attitude of respect, sit ting on his hind legs and remaining almost motionless until the proces sions pass. He knows the hours of services in the cathedral and can usually be seen at the side door wait ing for the archbishop to appear Whether there is a service or not, he never tries to enter the church. , Apparent Bottomiess Pit. A bottomless pit has been found fn the mountains of Hualalai, back of Kailua. It is about four feet in diam: eter. The pit {s peculiar from the fact that it sucks in the air with re markable force. Piece of paper placed over the mouth do not float gently down, but are suddenly drawn in and isappear with startling rapidity. The air rushing into the pit can be dis tinctly felt by ppople standing on the edge. There has been no attempt made thus far to reach the bottom o} the pit or to determine its character Strange sounds are heard in Honaw nau. Every night the inhabitants of that section distinctly hear a noise similar to the blowing of a deep steamship whistle. Nobody has been able to discover any cause for it and considerable anxiety is felt by the su perstitious. The noise is heard for about five seconds and then subsides for a space of about ten minutes and then resumes for another five seconds Honolulu correspondence in Say Francisco Call.

David Brainard at Longmeadow the story of his expulsion from Yale col lege came out, Brainard lived in the time of the evangelist, Jonathan Ed wards, and “the great awakening,’ with which both men were identified.
