The Rising Son

Reing Son It Pays to Advertise in the Rising Son for it Reaches More Homes of Colored People than any other Paper in the State. VOLUME X. Didn't Follow Instructions. One of the modern schemes of physical development that has won favor is a systematic method of breathing. A certain inquirer who was interested in the principals of this system recently wrote pamphlet. One of the rules on the first page read as follows: "After the morning bath take a deep breath, retain it as long as possible, then slowly expire." He decided not to try the system. UP Against the Horses. Farmer Korntop — Our Hiram's writin' agin from Yarvard fur more money fur books. Mrs. Korntop—Air ye sure, Silas, the he reelly wants that money fur books? Farmer Korntop—Yaas, he says he'll take his oath every cent I send him goes to the bookmakers. Preparing for the Wedding. "I suppose," said the facetious stranger, watching a workman spread a carpet from the church door to the curb, "that's the high raod to heaven you're fixing there." "No," replied the man, "this is merely a bridal path." From Reports. MrStubbs—John, there must be an extraordinary amount of work in the different departments in Washington. How does Uncle Sam get it straightened out? Mr. Stubbs—Well, Maria, some of it is too crooked to be straightened out. An Aid to Memory The Albino—The snake charmer She wanted to remember something. Our idea of a prominent citizen is one who does not want to be post master. Secret of Happiness Bounder—You seem to be remarkably happy since your marriage. What's the explanation? Rounder—My wife is a firm be liever in fairy stories. The One Thing. Citiman—Didn't you suburbanites grow anything in your gardens this year? Subbubs—Well, there was one thing that we all grew, but that was early in the season. Citiman—What was that? Subbubs—Tired. Money talks, and a jack-pot speaks by the card. An Improvement. Subbubs—I got a vague sort of impression that there was something new about your house as I passed it this morning. Backlotz—Q! it's that new "For Sale" sign. The one I've had up for the past four years got so weather-beaten, you know. A man who does not care what you have been in the past does not care what you will be in the future. Some people manufacture crosses for the satisfaction of thinking that they are earning crowns by carrying them. The wife of a man who parts his hair in the middle is reasonably sure to be the better two-thirds of the combine. The Bright Side. "So you're a veteran of the rebellion?" said the young man, admiringly "The war clouds were thick about, you when you were a youth, weren't they?" "Yes," replied the veteran, as he indorsed the pension voucher he wished to have cashed; but they all had their silver lining." Net for Him. Mrs Newlwed—It's just brutal of you to call it "this stuff." You said you'd be glad if I baked my own bread and— Mr. Newlwed—Yes, but I didn't say I wanted you to bake mine. Chicago men form a syndicate to buy second-hand warships and dispose of them to teh Russian government. A FEW HINTS TO LADIES ON THE ART OF DRESSING WELL. Mrs. Mamie Devaul-Vincent has opened her school of dress making and ladies tailoring at 1228 Walnut street for the benefit of our girls and ladies and hope to have a large enrollment this year. The opportunity has never before presented itself to our people in Kansas City. Madam Vincent most cordially invite all her friends and acquaintances to visit and inspect the work being done. First class work is strictly guaranteed. g. 2,e8MOiarA2sor-A'e'. m m mm For several years past Kansas City has been rid of Negro fake newspapers. Very recently, however, one has been launched forth by several would-be journalists and placed in the hands of H. M. Harris who operated in Joplin several years ago where he had the lid put on him. He came to this city recently and is alleged solicited money from some of our white business men to go to New York to represent Kansas City at the Convention of the Negro Business League. He says that the train which he started on got wrecked and he had to return without doing the "representing" act. The Rising Son wishes to advise that in its opinion this individual does not represent the Negro. The less polish a man has the more reflections he is apt to cast. Don't give your friends indigestion by trying to poke people you like down their throats. When a thunderstorm comes up rain usually comes down. It takes a man with sense to make a dollar go a long way. Love may be blind, but unfortunately it's neither deaf nor dumb. In covering up his tracks a man often makes a lot more while doing it. Wise men admire clever women, but it is usually the silly ones they marry. One way to acquire knowledge of human nature is to lend your friends money. If wishes were automobiles beggars would be arrested for exceeding the speed limit. But few people realize the fact that experience is a good teacher until after they get too old to learn. Our idea of an ingrate is a man who refuses to laugh at the stories of another man who is paying for his dinner. A married woman's idea of a genuine hero is a man who hands his pay envelope over to his wife every week unopened. Father Gonpon Has Shaved. Father Gonpon, of St. Petersburg, is reported to be greatly changed in his appearance, his long, luxuriant chestnut hair and flowing beard having been shorn. He is now clean shaven except for a small, bristly mustache. His hair is cropped close, like a prize-fighter's; his complexion is pale and sallow, his health delicate and his eyes bright and feverish. He is reported to be studying French and watching events. Iron Nerve. "Mrs." said the little boy, rushing in the kitchen, "Mrs. Prune next door wants to borrow your flatirons. Says she wants to throw them at a cat." "The nerve of it," replied his mother "But that ain't the worst of it, ma." "What else?" "It is our cat that she wants to throw them at." Doubtful Remark. Dolly—And when our auto was speeding like the wind, just to think of his proposing to me! Dorothy—I'm not surprised. They say running an automobile makes a man reckless. Cheep! Cheep! "I declare," remarked the duck, "if that little chick isn't trying to talk already but it doesn't amount to much." "No," replied the young rooster, scornfully, "all his talk is 'chee.'" KANSAS CITY MO., FRIDAY, OCT. 6, 1905. "Poor Smallpay's marriage has proved an utter failure." "What's the matter? Souldn't he support his wife in the style she had been accustomed to?" "Yes; but he couldn't support her in the style she had been accustomed to read about in trashy novels." Violent Motions. "One of those deaf mutes is trying to strike the other," said a bystander, excited. "No, he isn't," explained the policeman," he talks with his hands, and is only using a little strong language."—Detroit Free Press. The Difference. He—Of course, there's a big difference between a botanist and a florist. She—Is there, really? He—Yes; a botanist is one who knows all about flowers and the florist is one who knows all about the prices people will pay. Has Something to Look Up To. "N. Peck is eight inches shorter than his wife." "I suppose he doesn't like it very well, does he?" "Oh, he doesn't mind it much. He says he prefers to take his higher criticism that way." Citiman—Did you lost much by the fire out at your house? Subbubs—Two quarts of good old Scotch whisky. Citilman—Was that all? Subbubs—Yes, you see, only about hal fou our volunteer fire company got there. Washington Star: "Have you never given any thought to what posterity will say about you?" "No," answered Senator Sorghum; "I long ago arrived at the conclusion that posterity cannot make you as much trouble as one of your next-door neighbors."

Canaries, English sparrows and parrots are the only birds whose songs are fully satisfying, and a very little of them will give more than full satisfaction. The Strangest Flag The strangest flag under which man ever fought is that of the Macedonian insurgents. It is red on one side and black on the other. When Love takes up the harp of life the neighbors still complain because the airs are all sentimental. There are a lot of things that a man would not want half so much if he thought there was any chance of getting them. When a girl has a corn that causes her to limp she always apologizes by saying she must have twisted her ankle. A man in public life can't make people believe he is honest even by going to church every Sunday. Taxing bachelors may not boost the matrimonial game, but it is apt to encourage emigration. After reciting "Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight" at school a girl imagines she is a born elocutionist. A man's bump of imagination must be well developed to enable him to write an interesting love letter. Even an old man can win a woman's love and keep it, if he isn't jealous. When the devil cannot arrive in time he sends a woman on before him. What the world needs is more workers and fewer dreamers. Even a small balance in the bank indicates a well-banaced man. A polished gentleman isn't .necessarily a smooth article. Edible Seaweed. It is not a little astonishing to find what a number of seaweeds are really edible and nourishing, says The Lancet. Perhaps the best-known example in this country is laver, which is a kind of stew made from a weed, an algae. The laver made on the Devonshire coast and to be found in some London shops is excellent. Hold Farm Since 1300. Recently the stock was sold on a farm in Dumfrieshire, Scotland, which had been held by a family named Moffat since the year 131), when King Robert Bruce made a grant of the land to the Moffats. They held it for 300 years as owners, and the rest of the time as tenants of the Dukes of Buccechul. Commit Sport by Proxy. "Vandal," a well known writer on sports, said in a recent issue of the London Express: "The sports of this country are absolutely rotten—un-sound to the core. This nation is no longer a nation of sportsmen. It is a nation of odds-taking people who comm sport by proxy." Self-Winding Alarm Clock Joseph Blythe, a resident of Chester, Pa., has recently obtained a patient on a self-winding alarm clock, which is said to have several very novel features. The winding is done by electricity and when once set will ring every day at the same hour if desired. Kloping as Critic.

Many Schools in Hong Kong. For its size Hong Kong has an enormous number of schools. The population of the island is about 330,000 and there are over 100 schools, the great majority of which are under government supervision. Church in Farmyard. Few more curious places for a church could be found than one at Sotuham Dolabere, Eng., which stands in the middle of a farmyard. The only means of entrance is by passing through the yard.

It is rumored on reliable authority that Hen Wilson has left his wife again owing to some marital trouble between them. This is not the first time Hen and Sary Ann have had marital trouble. The last time before this Sary Ann struck rift with a rolling pin above the left eye and he went out of the house and did not return for several weeks. Some says he went to the Co. seat and spent most of his time in a hospital. Finally he returned some a sadder and wiser man and Jim and Sary Ann made up again and started out together to try to live a different life with the love of peace perched above their hearthstone, as you might say. But now ruction swift and terrible has broken out in their midst again. We got this straight or we wouldn't say anything about it in print. Mrs. Wilson herself told Mrs. Caroline Looper that Hen had left home followed by all the cooking utensils in the kitchen. Mrs. Hooper told it to ten Wade's wife and Ben Wade's wife old it to Mrs. Widow Henderson who old us. Sary Ann has a quick temper and when she gets mad there seems to be nothing else to do but for Hen to dig out for a while and wait until the clouds roll by. What the trouble was this time was that Hen went right into the house like a durn fool and set his self down on a new sofa pillow which Mrs. Wilson had just finished. Mrs Wilson stated that Hen might think that sofa pillows were made to sit on, but he was mistaken. Hen's where abouts is at present unknown—"Bling ville Bille Items" in the Boston Post. ARTIST ME7 HER IDOL. John Ruskin's Self Introduction to His Admirer. The London Outlook tells a pretty story of the late John Ruskin, artist, author, reformer, which snows that courtly and chivalric gentleman and great writer in a playful mood: Mr. Ruskin was taking a morning walk down the read just in front of Brantwood, when he saw a lady seated on a campstool making a sketch of the house, and, with a courteous grace which was intensely his own, he addressed her, inquiring her reason for choosing the house in question for her subject. "It is the house of the famous John Ruskin," she frankly asked. "Have you met Ruskin?" she was asked. "No indeed," she replied. "If I had I would have deemed it one of the greatest privileges of my life." "Then, madam, if you care to follow me, I will show you to you." In a twinkling the stool and ease were packed up and the artist eagerly followed the guide. To her surprise and gratification, he led her up to the house, and entering, bade his guest follow, which she readily did. On marched the strunger into the drawing room, then, placing his back to the fireplace, a familiar attitude he claimed, to the amazement of his companion: "Now, what do you think of Ruskin?" From "The Gigour" He who hath best him over the dead Ere the first day of Death is lost. The first day of Nothiness, The first Danger and Nitiness, The first flaming fire, Have sweets the lines where Beauty ling resist.

A famous traveling correspondent says that the people in the southern provinces of India do everything on the ground. They never use chairs or benches, but always squat upon the floor, and all their work is done upon the ground. Carpenters have no benches, and if they plane a board they place it on the earth before them and hold it fast with their feet. The blacksmith has his anvil on the floor; the goldsmith, the tailor and even the printer use the floor for benches, and it is the desk of the letter-writer and the book-keeper. It looks queer to see a printer squatting before a case of type and even queerer to see a person writing letters with a block of paper spread out before him on the ground. But that is the Hindu custom. You find it everywhere throughout India, just as you will find everybody, men, women and children, carrying loads, no matter how light or how heavy, upon their heads. If an errand boy is sent with a parcel he never touches it with his hands, but invariably carries it on the top of his turban. The other morning I counted seven young chaps with "shining morning faces" on their way to school, every one of them with his books and slate upon his head. Masons' helpers, who are mostly women, carry bricks and mortar upon their heads instead of in hods, on their shoulders, and it is remarkable what heavy loads their spines will support. At the railway stations all the luggage and freight is carried the same way. The necks and backs of the natives are developed at a very early age. If a porter can get assistance to boist it to the top of his head, he will stagger along under any burden all right. I have seen eight men under a grand piano and two men under a big American roller top desk, and in Calcutta, where one of the street railway companies was extending its tracks, one workmen carried the rails upon their heads. 100 Bin's Record Beaten. Leonora Romaldo, the wife of a farm hand at Vilhelenso, near Burgos, Spain, has awakened from a trance which has lasted thirty one years. The case has been under the close observation of medical experts during the whole of that time, and by their instruction liquid food was regularly administered by a tube placed in the mouth of the sleeping woman. At times it was believed that the woman was walking, and various means were employed to restore her to consciousness, but they failed. She has now regained her senses, but cannot be persuaded that she has slept for years. A curious feature of the case is that she remembers the incidents of her girlfriend up to the time that she fell into the trance. Her body is fairly well tourished, but her hair has turned white. On being shown a mirror the woman shrieked with horror and declared that the image it reflected was not her own—Philadelphia North American.

What may be the physical conditions of Heaven we cannot tell, and perhaps the very purse may be meaningless of that place where they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God. But so far as Heaven is a place at all, its fundamental conception is that it is a place where sin is not. No guilty step may pass the gates of pearl, no polluting presence ting shadows on the golden streets. They who live there are the angels, and just men made perfect, and the spirits of the saints in light. And if we ever get there, we shall be as they, for to do there is to see the face of God, and to see the face of God is to be changed into the same image from glory to glory. There life's stains shall have been prayed away, and the gold shall be made with dross no longer, nor the fine gold dim. But oh, to have been disenchanted utterly, for ever, from the low aims of the world; Oh, to have been set free forever from the yoke of habit and the power of temptation! Oh, to desire only, and to do only, what is good, without evil being ever present with us! Oh, to do perfectly what here we have but imperfectly attempted! Oh, to be what here we have only seemed to be or wished to be! Oh, to be honest, true, noble, genuine, pure, holy to the heart's innest core! Is not this Heaven? Is it not a state rather than a place? Is it not a temper rather than a habitation? Is it not to be something rather than to go somewhere? Yes, this, this is Heaven. What more we know not. In other stars, amid His countless worlds, for all we know God may have work for us to do. Who knows what radiant ministrations, what infinite activities, what never ending progress; what immeasurable happiness, what living ee sties, unimaginable rapture, where all things are lovely, honorable, pure. This, this is Heaven! And why should we not believe that the God who is so good to us hath such good things in store for all who love Him? All the good and true, all the pure and noble shall be there. And all on earth, he have ever been high and sweet and worthy, out of every tribe, and kind and nation, and language—ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands! Let us then labor to enter into that rest. For if as we Christians believe, Christ bath died to give us entrance into such a Heaven as this, we must believe the same Gospel which tells us, not so securely, that it is not a reward but a continuity, not a change but a ceasement. If we desire Heaven we must seek it here—if we love heaven we must love it now. Heaven means holiness. Heaven means principle Heaven means to be one with God.—Canon Farrar. The Word of Jesus. "Heaven and earth shall pass away," said Jesus, calmly careless as to what fate at last overtakes this efface and obsolescent planetary theater of human action, "that my words shall not pass away!" The absolutely indestructible thing is the Word of Christ. Dynasties are mace or unmade empires rise or fall, races grow or become extinct institutions flourish or become more items of ancient history, but the angels, timeless, irrefutable, imperishable words of Jesus—"only a Jow," as blinded minds persist in calling him—remain as the ladder by which bright angels descend with messages of love from the bright courts of heaven, or as the pillow on which a sinful yet repentant Jacob rests his head, to dream of a final lodgment in his Father's house on high. The words of Jesus are the connecting link between earth and heaven. By them we know that God has come to us; through them we speak back and up to God the otherwise inexpressible language of repentance, faith and love. The words that pass not away are our stay amid the transient, our support in the midst of the flowing floods of this troubled life, our guaranty of spiritual standing forevermore in the divine presence, when earth, with its proud palaces and academies shall crumble like a clinder and Time, by angelic pronouncement, be no more. A. Praver. O Lord! Thou art greater than our thoughts of thee. Thou art to us more than we can speak. Thou dost also transcend our utmost conception. All of thy name that we can frame into words is but little; and all of thee that we can frame into emotions is still but little and all that we can conceive of thee by the imagination is yet but very little. Beyond our thoughts and feelings and conceptions thou dost stretch endlessly and bound- leastly. We look toward thee as men, look toward the morning. Thou art our sun; thou art our light, thou art our life. In thee our life is hid. We do not understand the meaning of this; but our hearts are uplifted with gladness that we shall find its meaning to be so much more than that which is shadowed forth, though the shadow itself is transcendently better than all earthly joys and experiences. Be pleased, our Father, to show this more and more to us. Grant that we may learn more and more in life to live by being better. So draw us near to thee until there shall be that trar opened in the soul which can hear unutterable things until that signt shan be quickened which can see invisible things; until that susceptibility to truth shall be aroused which can take in the higher aind nobler elements of life, so that we can here feel the first tremulous touches of heavenly joy. And thus we shall go onward and upward until we shall stand in Zion and before God. And we will give the praise of our salvation to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.—40. W. Beecher. Duty. "Ordered of the Lord." Just as the plowman takes furrow by furrow, one ended before another is begun, so our duties come to us, not in battalions, but singly. Our life's plan, if we read it aright, is beneficently designed. We are not abandoned to blind chance. Confusion and entanglement can come only by our choosing to refuse guidance and to shape our lot for our selves. So it will seem to us when we have come to the end of it and can look back—a divinely ordered whole, which even our failures cannot mar, for God only asks of us our best; and if we give him these we need not grieve overmuch if some of the furrows refuse to run straight. The failure may be success, after all, so far as our discipline is concerned. In the midst of our saddest blunders we have visions of higher things, unfulfilled aspirations, cravings for growth; and these will be satisfied, every one of them. Somewhere else the task dropped here may be taken up and made good. Our Consolation How blessed is it that there is some real refuge of comfort for us in the midst of our distresses; some real victory for us over those troubles that annoy and binder and grieve. There are many beautiful things in this world; many very sweet joys in this life; and the last of all men would I be to bellittle whatever there is abroad which is gladsome. But after all, this of ours is a troubled realm. It is a tear land. Before us are disappointments, behind us are sorrowful memories, and anemishes and agonies keep us company as we journey along on our pilgrim way. More than these, however, are the*conclusions and encouragements and recompenses. And should all else fall us, there is the great assurance, bright and shining as the sun, and more precious than a thousand worlds. "In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you"—F. A Noble, D. D. Life. Just as a flock of pigeons, which flies about in ever-diminishing circles above its roost, at each turn presenting the glimmering white of many down breasts toward the sun, shading off quickly into the darker color of the back-teathers as they rise and turn; at each sweep causing the wind to whirl through the feathers of their wings by the rapidity of their movement, and at last, when the circles have grown very small, just as they hover silently above the roost and, one by one drop quickly to the priveting shelter, even so do we pass through life, ever nearing our eternal home, sometimes presenting the briberies sides of our character to the light, and sometimes the darker sides, and then, when our house of life has all but expired, and we hover between this world and the next, we, too, at last pass silently into the loving shelter of our eternal res: James Myers The True Motto "God wants our lives, not only our souls," says Henry Drummond. Some of us net as if the only important thing was that God should save our souls and take them to himself when life is over. The idea that God wants our lives for himself, here and now, we do not relish at all. That is where we make our mistake, and dwarf and narrow our Christianity, and lose power and joy. "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." There is the complete motto of the true Christian, living in one world and toward the other. Let us adopt it. Let us live it. What Belief Is Belief is holding the whole being in such pulse of acclerc science in provident ordering, that, hemmed in by whatever limitations, and plunged into whatever depths of sadness and pain and loss, the eyes still keep a stead fast book on the everlasting hills. It is to journey all day long under what ever scorching suns, over whatever burning sands, through whatever dreary wildernesses, leaning on the staff of trust. It is to pitch tent, when the sun goes down and night thickens under the shelter of trust.—F. A. Noble. D. D. NOTHING DOING , BOYS PROTECTION RECI PROCITY IN COMPETITIVE PRODUCTION QUINEY COIT CONGRESS WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT QUESTION. Stability of Rates Would Necessitate the Adoption of a Minimum Schedule and That the Maximum Be Used for Penalties Against Unfriendly Nations. It may be considered as settled that Congress will be called upon to take up the question of a dual tariff. That issue has already been made up by the action of the Chicago reciprocity conference of Aug. 16 and 17, 1905. The plan of enlarging our foreign trade by means of negotiations with the different competing countries has been sidetracked, and the dual tariff now occupies the main line. This plan involves two sets of tariff schedules. Its fulfillment would necessitate the passage by Congress of a general law placing in the discretion of the Executive the power of granting tariff concessions to nations favoring the exports of the United States and of imposing tariff penalties in the shape of increased rates of duty upon nations failing to favor the products of the United States with their minimum tariff rates. This would mean two tariffs in operation at the same time. This would also involve the partial surrender by Congress of its tariff making powers. Congress could fix the minimum, but would have no control over the maximum tariff. It would amount to a radical, almost revolutionary departure from the system of tariff making and tariff administration that has prevailed since the foundation of our government. Can stability of tariff rates be maintained along with the dual tariff system? This is the question which seriously concerns the business and producing interests. Whatever tariff may be adopted by Congress, that tariff should be fixed, stable and certain. Productive industry would require this as a condition indispensable. Tariff stability becomes impossible when we are operating upon the basis of rates which may at any time under certain conditions be reduced. The very essence of a maximum and minimum tariff must, of necessity, be irregularity and instability. The tariff rate of to-day may not, probably will not, be the tariff rate of one month or one year hence. Production cannot thrive under such changing conditions. Therefore if any change is to be made it would seem to be the part of wisdom and prudence to reverse the proposition and agree upon not a maximum and minimum but a minimum and a maximum tariff. It is clear, we think, that the producing interests, and the interests as well of domestic labor and wages, absolutely require that in any legislation looking toward the establishment of a dual tariff system Congress should exercise its constitutional rights and powers by establishing first of all a minimum tariff. This should be an irreducible minimum, a permanent system of rates, until such time as that minimum shall have been altered by act of Congress. The power lodged in the hands of the Executive to impose a higher tariff rate as a means of compelling fair treatment at the hands of other nations would in such a case be exercised without disturbance or harm to our own domestic production. A maximum tariff would then be punitive, and the business of the country would go on under a fixed and unchangeable minimum tariff. It therefore appears certain that the only safe, stable and satisfactory form in which a dual tariff system can be inaugurated and maintained is: First, minimum tariff rates to be fixed by Congress. Second, maximum tariff rates imposed according to executive discretion under conditions to be prescribed by Congress. If by forcic trade clamor, or by the necessity of arming ourselves with a weapon wherewith to defend ourselves against hostile trade discrimination, we are to be forced into a system of double tariff schedules, the producing interests of the United States must not be exposed to the perils of constantly changing rates of duty upon competitive imports. They must at least know the worst that can happen to them in the shape of tariff protection; they must be assured that while the existing tariff rate, whatever it be, may be raised for purposes of retaliation, it cannot be lowered for the purpose of facilitating the competition of lower priced foreign goods. All business, all trade, all industry, all labor are vitally concerned in this matter of tariff stability. Hence it follows that if we are to have a dual system at all it should be the minimum and the maximum. Under no circumstances should it be the maximum and minimum. Illogical. Inequitable. Unfair. The Milwaukee News, an enemy to protection, delivers a just and logical judgment against the selfishness and hypocrisy of reciprocity and a dual tariff when it says: "Though in its resolutions the conference 'recognized the principal of protection as the established policy of our country,' such a scheme as is proposed to escape the evil consequences of the 'established policy' has nothing in common with protection and little that can be justified in equity or fair play. If one industry is entitled to protection, then, obviously, other industries are entitled to protection from foreign competition. If the workingman is entitled to protection, as contended, then it would be manifestly unfair and contrary to the spirit and purpose of protection to deprive the workingmen of one industry of their tariff shelter that the workingmen of another industry might benefit through enlarged foreign markets." There is no escape from this verdict. 'The simple truth of the matter is that by no possibility can reciprocity in competitive products be made to harmonize with protection with equity or with fair play. Appreciative. "The result of the Chicago conference is likely to be the formation of a permanent organization to offset the American Protective league, and such an organization may in time be able to render as able service in behalf of rationalism in tariffs as the Protective league has rendered the stand-patters."—Dayton (Ohio) News. Effective service in behalf of rationalism in tariffs is greatly to be desired and always welcome. To let a good tariff alone and not play tricks with an economic system that has worked and is working out a prosperity unequaled in the history of the human race—that would seem to be rationalism in tariffs. To have rendered able service in obtaining and maintaining that kind of a tariff is a record to be proud of. We are glad to know that the Dayton News appreciates it.—American Economist. How About Great Britain? If we were to adopt the principle that our tariff must be trimmed down to correspond with tariff concessions granted by other countries, how, then, would we deal with Great Britain, which imposes no tariff at all? Should we not, in all fairness and consistency, be compelled to remove our tariff altogether on imports from Great Britain? ORDINARY Evolution. A game of checkers on the earth Through ages has been played, And in the slimy ocean bed The first slow move was made. There man began, a thing of cells, Without a form or name, And on the worldwide checkerboard He opened up his game. An an passed; he moved again, A proper game and slow, And monsters of the earth and main Went stalking to and fro. With mighty plot and counterplot The game was played with care, And here he sacrificed a type And lost another there. From ape to cave man, every link Had victory to wring, Unruly fighter on northern line Add crowned himself a king. —McLandburgh Wilson in New York Sun Passport to the Pole. Passport to the Pole. Certainly the oddest passport ever issued was one signed by the Governor or of the Russian province of Povolsk, on the shores of the Arctic ocean, who granted safe conduct to the North Pole. He was approached by two members of an expedition fitting out for a polar exploration who gave as their destination the North Pole. The governor was nonplussed at this unique request, but his visitors insisted on being supplied with the desired papers and their request was granted after the governor had thoughtfully written in a clause stipulating that the responsibility of the Russian government ceased when they passed from Russian territory. The explorers assented to this qualification, and since their travels carried them but a short distance to ward the pole they are still possessed of their unique documents.—New York Herald. Whole Town Changed Location. Whole Town Changed Location. We have been accustomed to hearing of the bodily removal of houses, but it has been left for Russia to provide the spectacle of a whole town of some 5,000 inhabitants changing its location. This, however, is the case of Lepsinsk, a town in the district of Semiretsche, in Russian Turan. Twenty-two years ago Lepsinsk was founded on land provided for the purpose by the governor general of the province. This land had, however, formerly belonged to the Semiretsche horde of Cossacks, who strongly objected to the transfer. For twenty-two years the dispute has continued, and now at last the inhabitants of Lepsinsk, hearing of a suitable site thirty-five kilometres to the northwest of their present quarters, have decided to remove thither in a body, taking their possessions and as much of their habitations as possible along with them. Skull of Phenomenal Thickness A man whose skull seems to be made of iron has just been treated at Westminster hospital, London, Enga. The police took a man there who had been run over in the street. One wheel of a van, weighing about 25 cwt., had passed over his head, and it was feared that his was a serious case. But to the amazement of the house surgeons who examined him, he was, found to be practically uninjured. The flesh, of course, was bruised, but there was no sign of a fracture of the skull. The man's head could scarcely have suffered less damage had it been made of iron. The phenomenal patient, who is a burly laboring man named Wm. Ainge, stolidly refused to remain at the hospital, and without more ado proceeded to walk home. Seen there, he said he intended to return to work immediately. --- Paralysis Mistaken for Death Dr. Sault, of Fairview, Pa., went to bed apparently in good health the other night, but did not awake the next morning. His wife and family became alarmed and thought he was dead. Dr. Hughes, who was summoned and made an examination, gave it as his opinion that there was some life in the body, but Mrs. Sault was firmly convinced that her husband was dead. A couple of mornings afterwards Dr. Sault started his wife and set all doubts at rest by jumping up in the bed and inquiring why there were so many people in the room. He said, "Nonsense, I am not dead, and do not propose to die for a while yet." The doctor improved later on, although very weak. His attending physician believes he sustained a slight stroke of paralysis, which rendered him unconscious. Boar Creates Legal Tangle A collision between a motor-car and a wild boar has led to extraordinary legal proceedings in a German court, Mme. Senyer-Bettaque, the well-known singer of Munich, was passing through a forest in the course of a motor car tour, when the boar charged the car, seriously damaging it as well as breaking a telegraph pole. The forest authorities immediately sent Mme. Bettaque a bill for £2 10s, for the loss of the boar, and the telegraph authorities asked her to pay 15s, damage to the pole. She in turn has brought an action against the forest authorities for compensation for injuries to herself and her car—Monreal Heald. Relic Interests Australians. An interesting relic, the anchor of the Sirius, which was the first British ship of war to enter Australian waters, has been recovered from the sea near Sydney. It is proposed to mount it on a granite pedestal in some public place. 6AYS AMERICANS ARE LEARNING HOW TO EAT. In America, eating is becoming more of a fine art as well as a pastime and accomplishment every day. Americans are learning how to eat. They have passed the stage of civilization where anything and everything will go and are becoming particular eaters. Nothing but the white heart of the wheat berry (Pillsbury's Vitos) is NOW good enough for those who have tried this cereal breakfast food. It is the most economical and it is actually the "Meat of the Wheat"—Sterilized—nothing added—nothing taken away; pure white in color, it serves an appetizing breakfast dish, made in the greatest mills, of the best wheat, and by the oldest miller, PILLSBURY. This is your guarantee. Put up only in two pound, airtight packages. Look for the words, "Meat of the Wheat."

Recently at a private musicale, Robert Cuscaden played a Bethevon selection which called forth this comment from one of his gushing feminine admirers: "Perfectly heavenly!" I haven't heard that for a long time. The last time was when it was rendered for me by a phonograph. Did you ever hear it on a phonograph, Mr. Cuscaden?" "No," said the violinist, "I don't care care for music fried in lard." Truth and a woman's age are not on speaking terms.

Two Wonderful Women. A visitor to the West cemetery at Litchfield, Conn., found the following interesting description on tombstones there: "Here lies the body of Mary, wife of Dr. John Buel, Esq. She died Nov. 4th, 1768, age 94, having 13 children, 101 grandchildren, 274 great-grand children, 22 great-great-grandchildren—total, 410; 336 survive her." Another: "Sacred to the memory of Inestimable worth of Unrivalled Excellence & Virtue, Mrs. Rachel, wife of Jerome B. Woodru® & daughter of Norman & Lois Barber, whose etheral parts became a scrape May 24, 1835, in the 22 yr of her age."—New York Tribune. Theatrical News. The new Hamlet looked toward the gallery as a half dozen eggs struck the stage and exploded. "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark." So saying, he went out and told the grave diggers, who suspected Poor Yorrick. In the sentimental songs, why is it considered so fetching for the lover to "thous" his sweetheart? Think how it would sound if after they were married he would say: "Sal, thou art not so much pumpkins as I thought thou wert." Some people are so sincere that they are disagreeable most of the time. NOTICED IT. A Young Lady from New Jersey Put Her Wits to Work. "Coffee gave me terrible spells of indigestion which, coming on every week or so, made my life wretched until some one told me that the coffee I drank was to blame. That seemed nonsense, but I noticed these attacks used to come on shortly after eating and were accompanied by such excreuclating palms in the pit of the stomach that I could only find relief by loosening my clothing and lying down. "If circumstances made it impossible for me to lie down I spent hours in great misery. "I refused to really believe it was the coffee until finally I thought a trial would at least do no harm, so I quit coffee in 1901 and began on Postum. My troubles left entirely and convinced me of the cause. "Postum brought no discomfort, nor did indigestion follow its use. I have had no return of the trouble since I began to drink Postum. It has built me up, restored my health and given me a new interest in life. It certainly is a joy to be well again" Name given by Postum Co., Battie Creek, Mich. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in each pkg. Dressy Tailor-Mades. The light weight woolens are vastly favored for the dressier type of tailormades, and their possibilities are charmingly set forth in one imported model. The material is a heenletta of a faint shade of blue, and on this there are clever touches that employ with broadcloth and black velvet ribbon with most pluant results. The jacket is one of those smart little combination eton-bolero effects, that while seeming to hug the figure closely still seem to stand away from it. This is plaited back and front, the plaits stitched down flat, and the fronts rolled back in revers that are faced with white cloth, the whole bordered all around with black velvet ribbon. The same treatment is used on the sleeve, where a cuff seems to support the fullness of the puff above the elbow. The skirt is plaited to the band, the plaits stitched down in a yoke form over this, and then falling unpressed to the hem, where a funcilal application of velvet ribbon completes the trimming scheme. Brilliant Colors Fashionable. Brilliant colors are used in the fashionable wardrobe. The new fabrics in rose, emerald, amethyst, pear red and apple green afford a brilliant background. Embroidery in a variety of colors trims many a gown, and there are lovely embroidery strips that come for the front of walsts, for the wrists and for the girdle—all done in Japanese colors. Very often this embroidery is so gay as to make the entire gown look bright. Strips of handsome insertion are used upon many a surplice or a serpentine blouse and the same insertion goes around the wrist and forms the girdle. Turquoise Blue Messaline. With yoke and bands of white lace and tucks of the material. With yoke and bands of white lace and tucks of the material. Hand Embroidery. Hand embroidery has changed a little with the season. It is not applied so much in the form of applique as in direct hand work upon the silk. You can take a plain blue silk skirt and coat and make it really elegant by putting a few sprays of embroidery upon it. This is done all the time by those who wish to dress handsomely. Particularly are the advantages of hand brought cut in the getting together of the bride's trousseau. Here when one is spending so much, a few dollars will count for a great deal, and one must economize at all points. If one can do one's embroidery with the help of a seamstress, just so much is saved. Ivory Fans Back in Favor. A tiny ivory fan is the latest form of Parisian fancy and the girls are bunting their family archives through to find those that were fashionable seventy years ago. Parents are presenting their daughters with monogram fans. A girl carries a small silk fan of the folded variety and is in the habit of opening it and laying it on her lap, and in the middle of the fan her name will be seen most exquisitely presented on specially wrought lace. Another idea is a blue linen fan with a monogram in the center of it embellished with a little circle of green leaves. The appearance is very much as though it were a medallion set into the fan. And still another fan is made of taffetas, with a worked medallion in the middle and a lace ornament at each side. Full Skirt to Continue. The reign of the full skirt is to continue for some time to come apparently. Looking over a portfolio of croqués, sketches sent over by Paris designers, it was evident that it is going to take just as appalling an amount of dry goods to make the fall gowns as it did last spring. Sleeves are a little smaller, but skirts extremely full. It must have been an imaginative manufacturer of dress materials who invented the fashion of shirrings between box plaits. That was piling it on and one marvels at the audacity of the dressmaker who launched the first skirt. It took and we are now resigned to the extra five yards. The ingenuity of the dressmakers has been taxed to cut the full THE WORLD'S FASHION skirts in such a manner that they will not bunch around the waist. They have succeeded in making a skirt which fits smoothly over the hips and falls in very voluminous folds around the feet. Boudoir Confidences Girdles are narrowing down in front. Gilded quills are seen in some of the morning hats. Japanese net lace is one of the prettiest fancies of the moment. A purple dress is the only excuse for those purple silk gloves. The pale pink and pale blue narrow kid belts are as dainty as ribbons. White chrysanthemums will be a favorite flower for the autumn bride. Of course, the empire mode is out in raincoats, and very attractive it is, too. No matter how elaborate tan shoes are they were never meant for the ballroom. A development of the bead necklace is a dog collar made of beads strung on a wire frame. The present pompadour sets over the forehead in such a manner as to resemble a "bang." Cheap Fruit Cake One cup of sugar, lard the size of a small egg, a little salt, teaspoon each of cinnamon, cloves and allspice, one cup of molasses, one teaspoon of soda, one cup of warm or hot water, half a pound of raisins, half a pound of currants. Mix stiff enough for the spoon to nearly stand up straight in it. Bake slowly. It takes no butter or eggs. Be sure to keep it closed in a tin box or can. In fact all fruit cakes should be. Suit of White Panama. An exceedingly smart coat suit of white Panama was recently worn by a well-known society girl and attracted more than ordinary attention. The coat, of the loose box type, fitted perfectly in back and opened in front over an oddly pointed vest. There were no decorations of any sort save inset pieces of American beauty red velvet over the shoulders and cuffs of same on sleeves. Stitched bands of the material bordered the edge of coat and vest. The skirt was walking length and plain. Washing Knives Right. Never put the handle of knives into the water, for thus the handle would be discolored and the blade loosened. Instead dip each blade into hot water with soda and dry it at once. Another method is to have a large tin or basin with a tin or wooden cover. In the cover slits are cut, through which the blades of the knives pass to the water, while their handles rest on the top. HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES Good mace is orange yellow and transparent. Inferior mace is a darkred color and has very little taste. When adding cream to a thick soup let the former be quite boiling; the result is far better than when it is added cold.

To clean copper kettles, etc., rub the article to be cleaned all over with a cut lemon dipeeed in salt, then rinse thoroughly with clear water and polish with a soft cloth. Winter Shirt Waists. Heavy linen shirt waistls are being made up now for winter wear, some of them severely plain and worn with the new stiff collars—a cross between stiff mannish collars and lingerie stocks that is charming. There are, of course, albatross—plenty of white ones, and plenty of colored ones, too—and volle and the whole range of light weight woolen stuffs, with enough warmth in them for even the chilliest. Some of them have attached collars; others are worn with embroidered collars and stiff little ties, or with plain collars and embroidered ties, or both tie and collar embroidered. A Figured Silk. Worn with a leghorn hat trimmed with black velvet and plume. Worn with a leghorn hat trimmed with black velvet and plume. An Afternoon Gown. The design in Alice blue radium silk makes a most attractive afternoon gown. The plaited skirt is made with a yoke and deep girdle, the latter giving the popular princess effect. The bodice opens over a front of white silk mousselline and real valenciennes insertion and the deep pointed collar and turned cluffs on sleeves are edged with a finely plaited ruffle of the silk. Cut steel buttons and a large bow of black velvet ribbon are used as trimming. Lining for Evening Coats A pretty idea has come up in the lining of evening coats, which is the use of the most elaborately flowered Japanese silks. Some of the summer so-called dust coats which have been made of colored ponges, if lined in this way, are pretty enough to be worn for evening, especially if strong shades are chosen, and the colored laces used for trimming, and it is a suggestion that these silks are pretty enough and have warmth enough to make ideal evening and theater coats where the lesser expense is an object A Pale rose colored linen with pointed overdress in openwork embroidery, win similar embroidery on bodice. Black velvet ribbon is also used. PRACTICAL HYGIENE The Supreme Need of the Tuberculosis Patient. In the Journal of the American Medical Association Dr. Norman Bridge calls attention to the fact that the tuberculosis mortality has been reduced in the last thirty years from 14.25 to 10 per cent of all deaths. Those results are not accidental, but are clearly due to the increased knowledge of the best methods of treating this disease. In order to point out the best course he calls attention in the following words to some common errors still prevailing: "Men grow fixed in their ideas; they come to regard their notions as immutable, and so are slow to discover and to change. It is somehow easier for us to think that quinine or cod liver oil, cresosate or a change of climate; some inhalation of drugs or a so-called antitoxin, is good for tuberculosis, than it is to understand that the great first purpose of all treatment is to increase the physiologic power of the patient to resist the disease and to destroy or circumscribe its cause within his own body. "The sober fact confronts us that the one supreme need is for more power in the afflicted body to restrict or destroy the tuberculosis process. For our present guidance this truth is so vital that it takes rank with a confession of faith in religion. "We have given our patients some drug, and have neglected the half dozen measures whose tendency is to increase the power of the patient. Thus we have often thrown away the great resources of rest, fresh air, outdoor life, changes in surroundings, and a systematic effort of increase the nutritive forces the body. "There is no objection to the tonic medicines, always provided they are understood to be minor and subsidiary things, never of great value, and to be used only as aids to the general measures referred to. "To give drugs, while the patient is allowed to go in an unhygienic course of life without advice or correction, is an error awful in its results. "Every one of these patients should be constantly supplied with outdoor atmosphere in such abundance that every successive inspiration brings a fresh dose of air to the lungs, and none from previous expiration. Every one should have long hours of rest—if feverish, the rest recumbent should be almost or quite constant, for exercise increases the fever. The digestive powers should be made to do their best, under the most careful supervision, toward improving the nutrition and possibly also the resisting power of the patient. "Patients have been allowed to stay indoors without proper ventilation, and breathe a poisoned house-air three-quarters of the time. We have subscribed to the popular untruth—as pitiful as it is groundless—that patients in a gentle current of air called a draught are in danger of colds and other harm, and so we have kept them breathing over and over again their contaminated air. The truth is, one never takes cold in any draught, even a wind, if his body and head are kept warm by clothing. The advice of the profession ought to be to keep in a draught, never out of it; only it would lessen the business of the physicians while it would be of incalculable benefit to the people. "A consumptive body should always be well and equally clothed, and should never be hampered or restrained by garments. Snug corsets and conventional gowns are an absurdity for the tuberculosis woman; worn as they are by most such women, they frequently tip the scales in favor of death rather than recovery." No Specific Medicine for Tuberculosis. The Committee on the Prevention of Tuberculosis of the Charity Organization Society of New York, in its annual report recently issued published the following resolution: "Whereas, There is no specific medicine for this disease (consumption) known, and the so-called cure, and specifics, and special methods of treatment widely advertised in the daily papers are, in the opinion of the committee, without special value, and do not at all justify the extravagant claims made for them, and serve chiefly to enrich the promoters at the expense of the poor and often ignorant or credulous consumptives; therefore, "Resolved. That a public announcement be made that it is the unanimous opinion of the members of this committee that there exists no specific medicine for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis, and that no cure can be expected from any kind of medicine* or method except the regularly accepted treatment, which relies mainly upon pure air and nourishing food." Dr. S. A. Knopf states very emphatically that consumption is cured "simply and solely by the judicious use of God's fresh, pure air, sunshine, plenty of good water, inside and outside, and good food." Nevertheless, new specific "remedies" for this disease are constantly being exploited. A Paris physician is now advocating injections of sea water into the tissues as a cure for tuberculosis. An American doctor is also experimenting with a compound of raw vegetable juices in connection with other diet. Both of these so-called remedies, however, have yet to be thoroughly tested. In Summer Emergencies One of the most serious and frequent of summer emergencies is sunstroke. It might be termed 'heatstroke,' since it may occur in the night, or in any place where the heat is excessive. A "mungy" day with a comparatively low temperature is more injurious than a dry, hot atmosphere. Anything that causes a lowered vitality predisposes to sunstroke. Hence persons addicted to the use of alcohol are very frequent victims. The ingestion of large quantities of feed drinks predisposes to sunstroke. Constipation of the bowels is also a predisposing factor. A person in perfect health can endure very high temperature with little danger. It is only when the living machinery is doing imperfect work that sunstroke is possible. A sunstroke is usually preceded several days before by feelings of ill health—loss of appetite, indigestion, constipation, scanty perspiration and indisposition to active exercise. The stopping of persiration is an ominous sign. When a person falls with sunstroke, he may complain of pain in the head or over the heart. The skin is hot and dry, temperature very high—106 to 108 degrees, with disturbances of respiration and pulse, nausea and vomiting, insensibility and stupor, weakness, or even complete paralysis. The patient should be removed at once to a cool, shady place, his clothing loosened, ice applied to the head and spine, and cold water douches given; a cold bath can be used, also cold anemas. A very simple and effective treatment is the shower pack which is given as follows: An ordinary mattress is covered with oilcloth, upon which the patent is placed, wrapped in a sheet, and sprinkled with cold water as often as the sheet dries by evaporation. Ice may be applied to the head at the same time. To avoid sunstroke, see that the general health is good. Discard alcoholics and narcotics, use ice drinks sparingly, especially when warm, keep the bowels active, and use an abundance of fresh fruit. A cold sponge bath in the morning, adding a little salt to the water, followed by a vigorous rubbing, is a simple and valuable stimulus to the healthy action of the skin. The treatment for sunstroke is cold applications, and practically nothing but cold. Beds and Bedding. There are still bedrooms wherein can be found reminders of a bygone age in the form of unwieldy bedsteads with their monster bedposts and side parts almost as large as bridge timber, and which afford convenient camping grounds for vermin. Such bedsteads usually have for their immediate companions some of the old-fashioned bed springs, which appear very crude when compared with the elegant and simple springs now found in all unto-date homes. The simple iron bedstand, with its woven wire springs, provided with some of the later contrivances to prevent sagging in the center, represents the highest form of evolution in the line of beds. It is comfortable, readily moved about, easily stowed away, and, best of all, affords no lodging places for either dust or vermin. It can be readily cleansed if for any cause it has been exposed of dangerous infective disease, and for its very simplicity and neatness is a suitable ornament for any bedroom. The passing away of "the good old days" has deprived us of much that was substartial and real, which has been replaced by the shallow and artificial, but it is certainly a matter for congratulation that modern civilization has emancipated us from the pestilential feather bed that used to be passed down from generation to generation as a cherished bedroom. The old fashioned quilts which were recovered again and again at "quilting bees," gradually became liable to the same objection as the time-honored feather bed. It should always be remembered that bed clothes are not warm in proportion to their weight, but just to the extent that they have the ability to retain heat, and that this depends more upon the looseness of their texture than upon the amount of cotton that can be matted together and covered again and again with new quilting. All bedclothes, without regard, to the material from which they are constructed, should every week spend a few hours becoming acquainted with sunlight, and thereby have the additional advantage of thoroughgoing outdoor ventilation. What He Wanted. Most people would rather take a few bottles of some drug periodically, in hope of thereby counteracting the bad effects of their unhygienic habits, than reform their course of life and life healthfully. The Mother's Journal contains a suggestion which such would do well to ponder: "A certain dissipated youth, on consulting a noted physician in Paris, was given a set of hygienic rules, and assured of a speedy cure. But that was not at all to the young gentleman's liking. 'Any fool,' he said, 'would know he'd get well if he did that, but that's not what I came for. I want medicine.'" "He wanted to button his coat over a dirty snirt." Weak, Nervous and Wretched from Wasting Kidney Troubles. Mrs. Henry A. Roamer, Main and Garst sts., South Hend, Ind., says: "When I began using Doona's kidney Pills I was so weak I could hardly drag myself across the room. I was wretched and nervous, and had backache, bearing down pain, headache, dizziness and weak eyes. Drops set "When I began using Deans Kidney Pills I was so weak I could hardly drag myself across the room. I was wretched and nervous, and had backache, bearing down pain, headache, dizziness and weak eyes. Dropsy sat in and bleating of the chest choked me and threatened the heart. I had little hope, but to my untold surprise, Doan's Kidney Pills brought me relief and saved my life. I shall never forget it." Sold by dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. More Light O₂ Browning. Browning had just written his poem on the Piper of Hamelin and sent it to the printer. When three fourths of it had beer put in type the office devil leaned his elbow on the type and pied it. When informed of the catastrophe Browning smiled, and with great composure remarked: "That gives me an idea." And he chanced the name of the poem to "The Piper of Hamelin." Thus we learn that even the devil sometimes unwittingly gives a man a good name. LOSS OF APPETITE Cold Sweats, Twitching Nerves and Weakness Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Nature punishes every infraction of her laws, and careless habits easily lead to the condition described by Mr. William Browne, of No. 1019 Lincoln street, St. Joseph, Mo. Mr. Browne is an expert tutor in the employ of the Biscuit Co. He gives the following account of a trying experience: "In the spring of 1902," he says, "while I was regularly working at my trade, I grew somewhat careless in my habits of eating and drinking, and finally found that my appetite was fickle, a bad taste lingered in my mouth, my nerves twitched and were beyond my control, my kidneys were out of order and cold sweats would break out over my body at old times. Perhaps, while I stood talking with some one, this trembling of the limbs, and profuse sweating, and a severe chill would seize me. I became alarmed at my condition and, having read an endorsement of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I got a box and began to use them. They helped me at once. After I had used one box the twitching of the nerves, the trouble with the stomach and the cold sweats stopped and have not reappeared, and my appetite is good. I have told all my friends that Dr Williams' Pink Pills cured me and I recommend them to everybody." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured Mr. Browne because nothing can strengthen the nerves except good rich red blood—and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills actually make new blood. They don't not on the bowels. They don't bother with nerve symptoms. They drive from the blood the cause of anaemia, indigestion, nervous disorders, general weakness and the troubles of growing girls and women. The pills are guaranteed to be free from opiates or harmful drugs. Sold by all drugists, or by the Dr. Williams Medicino Company, Schenectadet, N.Y. A Mess of Pcas. Peter Piper had just picked a peck of pickle peppers. "By George," said he to himself, "I guess I'd better take some of these p's in for dinner."

Could Not Shut Eyes to Sleep—Spent $100 on Doctors—Baby Grew Worse—Cured by Cuticura for $5. "A scab formed on my baby's face, spreading until it completely covered her from head to foot, followed by boils, having forty on her head at one time, and more on her body. Then her skin started to dry up and it became so bad she could not shut her eyes to sleep. One month's treatment with Cuticura Soap and Ointment made a complete care. Doctors and medicines had cost over $100, with baby growing worse. Then we spent less than $5 for Cuticura and cured her. (Signed) Mrs. G. H. Tucker, Jr., 335 Greenfield Ave., Milwaukee, Wis."

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. Kansas City is evidently on the eve of reform. The account of the forty-second anniversary of the Emery, Bird, Thayer Company, noted in the Star of the 22nd, furnishes an interesting bit of history. The steady growth of this great company speaks volumes for Kansas City and establishes an index to the flourishing and progressive condition of this metropolis. The big store is a model one in every way and the arrangement of the several departments is such that it provides every comfort and pleasure for the great army of purchasers who seek to satisfy their fancy. Kansas City is proud of the institution and her officers. W. E. Emery of New York is president, J. T. Bird vice president and general manager, W. B. Thayer secretary and treasurer, J. C. Fennel assistant secretary and treasurer, C. C. Peters superintendent and R. L. Hawkins cashier. Two great wrongs have for a long time flourished in Kansas City. The nature of these wrongs we will leave to the public for its conjecture. A while back they were more flagrantly carried on than at the present time—in fact, until public agitation became active and the law asserted itself, these wrongs were prosecuted with boldness and defiance. The Son has rested on its oars, waiting for an expression from the Negro ministers of the Gospel. During the public agitation against immoral and questionable teachers being given employment in the Negro schools and the pleading of the Son for much needed reform. Not a Negro minister dared utter a word of approval for the right. No expression of the value of character which should form the base of the social fitness of our teachers was heard to eminate from a Negro minister. But what is his duty in the pulpit? Is it his duty to expose and denounce the wrong, lift up his race and champion the higher ideals of life? Then why does he shirk his duty? His silence is simply an endorsement of corruption and sin. Yet he loudly calls to his people to tide him over. His policy is, "keep still" and such is the policy of too many of our Negro leaders to whom is entrusted the destiny of the race. And what is the result? The whites have declared that a Negro cannot be trusted, they are all alike, their leaders are not sincere, they would rather shield a criminal than to expose or reveal his whereabouts. What an answer are we to give this accusation? The time is at hand and you must come right. GOOD FACULTIES—GOOD SCHOOLS. The fact that several of the graduates of Lincoln Institute of Jefferson City, Mo., who entered the teachers' examination in Kansas City recently and failed to reach the required average, is not very encouraging to the citizens of this city. Lincoln Institute is a state institution of learning, upon which a great deal of public money has been expended. Buildings have been erected, departments established and equipped. Appropriations have been made from time to time for the betterment of this school until now it is deemed quite complete. The question then is asked, Why is it that the graduates of Lincoln Institute can not as readily pass the teachers' examination as the students from Wilburforce and other institutions of learning? The public wants to know where the loose screw is. Can it be that the faculty is faulty and incompetent? If so, why do not the proper authorities investigate? The public pays the freight, the people are interested, they want results. President Jesse of Columbia, Mo., in his opening address before the colored teachers' association at Columbia, said that he would like to see Lincoln Institute what Wilburforce is to Ohio, Hampton to Virginia and Tuskogee Institute to Oklahoma. But will his fond hope ever materialize? It is possible but improbable until the authority under which Lincoln Institute is operated uses its full power in seeing to it that the faculty of this school is on a par with the faculties of other state schools which turn out men and women who are competent to pass a teachers' examination. WESTERNUNIVERSITY Mrs. Moten, wife of Prof. Moten, Lincoln Institute, visited Western U. last Friday. The James A. Handy Literary Society met and organized last Friday evening for this year's work. The Christian Endeavor Society was organized Sunday evening for the work of winning students to adopt Christianity. These organizations are officered by zealous students and bid fair to do some very effective work this year. Bishop and Mrs. Abram Grant visited Western U. last week. Mrs. Grant seems to be on the upward trend in regaining her health. A great appreciative audience crowded Allen Chapel, Kansas City, Mo., last Friday evening, Sept. 29th, to see the rustic garb and antique costumes of The Haymakers, and to listen to their melodious voices in operatic cantata. Nor were they disappointed. For two long hours they held the great audience spell-bound by clever and beautiful songs. The prima donna, Miss Edmonia Hubble, was faultless and possesses a sweet entracing voice. Misses Emma Collins and Emma Thomas and Mr. Albert Phillips displayed their talents in exceptional style. Misses Daisy D. Foster, Sarah Hammett and Nettie Penix (piano accompanist), and Messrs. T. L. Walker, J. D. Roberts and A. W. Fox deserve special mention for their prominent parts well executed, as well as the other twenty or thirty voices in the chorus. Prof. R. G. Jackson of Western University, director, has been buried under a shower of praises and congratulations for his indefatigable energy and skill in working out such a splendid success. He has brought additional laurels to his credit and great honor to the institution of which he is a part. The people of growing Kansas City are awakening more and more to the great progress and uplift that Western U. is destined to lead them to attain, not only along the lines of music, but intellect, business and morals as well. The Donor Club of Allen Chapel, under the expert management of W. C. Houston, is to be congratulated for this unbounded success, and we are satisfied—pardon the common expression—that way down in their heart there is a feeling for (Western) U. The school Glee song has been composed, and will be set to music by Prof. R. G. Jackson, and later published in sheet music form. There are 9,204,531 Negroes in the United States including Porto Rico and Hiawaii. Nine-tenths of them live in the South—one-third of its population. Seventy-seven per cent on 746,000 farms, of which 21 per cent are absolutely and 4 per cent partially owned by Negroes. There are 21,000 Negro carpenters, 20,000 barbers and nearly as many doctors, 16,000 ministers, 15,000 masons, 12,000 dressmakers, 10,000 engineers and firemen, 5,000 shoemakers, 4,000 musicians, 2,000 actors and showmen, 1,000 lawyers (which seems too many). Since 1890 Negro illiteracy has sunk from 57 to 44.5 per cent. Statistics are rather stupid fellows but these look bright and foll of hope—"With the Procession," Everybody's Magazine. The Negro press of this country seems much disturbed as to who is be the Negro leader. If the press would teach the entire race to play well its part in the drama of life and teach the members of the race to so fit themselves in early life that, whenever one of them is given employment he or she can do what is undertaken better than his white competitor, the mater of leadership will settle itself. What the Negro of the United States needs more than all else is capable followers. In this connection it might not be out of place to mention the fact that the day George Washington, a negro pioneer of Centralia, Wash., was buried every store and business OVIATT SHOE CO., 1105 MAIN STREET Knicks Shoes The nobbiest we ever showed.

Powell, minister to Hayti, declares that within the next few days he will tender his resignation to the President. He is now at home on a leave of absence, and gives as an explanation for his threatened resignation the unsettled condition of the Haytian government. During the five years he has represented the United States at the courts of the Haytian Republic he has given splendid satisfaction, and his resignation will be received with regret by the President, Minister Powell hails from Paterson, N. J., where for many years he was prominent in Republican politics. At the time of his appointment it was understood that, he was one of the most wealthy Negroes in the United States.

The big telescope has been mounted, Astronomer W. F. King, with his staff, has taken possession of the building, and observation work has begun. The telescope is a refracting instrument 19 feet 6 inches long, with a 15-inch lens and a maximum magnifying capacity of 1,500 times. It is by far the largest in Canada and ranks after the giant telescopes of the United States. In addition to the big telescope, the observatory has transit spectroscopic instruments and all the equipment of a first-class institution of the kind. The building cost $29,000 and the telescope $14,000; of this the lens cost $3,600. Foolish Men.

Few women had ever voted at the elections at Madison, Wis., until this summer, when the ladies made up their minds that there must be a new high school and that bonds must be issued for the purpose. The men voted a majority of 137 against the bonds, but the women voted a majority of 421 in favor resulting in a total majority of 284 for the bonds. The opposition will contest, saying that women may not vote for bond issues, although they may vote for members of school boards. Astcrs Back to the Farm.

Last Sunday a sight-seeing party from Buchanan county, Missouri, was returning from a trip over the Moffat road. To prove to their friends in Denver that they had been above timber line a number of the party brought buckets and sacks of snow back with them. The usual snowbailing fun on the train was indulged in. By a misdirected shot a snowball struck a fat man from Denver squarer in the face. The fat man got hot despite the cold surroundings. He stood up and exclaimed: "Who ever threw that snowball is no gentleman!" "I'll admit I am no gentleman," replied a rosy-cheeked belle of the crowd, with a devilish twinkle in her eye, "but how did you guess it?" And just to be rogish she let fly another handful of snow at the fat man and struck the conductor in the ear. Then the jolly party sang four teen verses of "I feel like I feel like I feel,"—A. U.

They are Chinese mestizos, partiarcal and vastly rich, the great house sheltering the sons and their families, more than forty adults, with droves of children. The eldest son has just completed his second term as governor of the island. The head of the family is the mother of his excellency, Senora Ming Lee, who is 80 years old, 6 feet tall and probably weighs 250 pounds. She is an inveterate gambler and will remain for two days at the round game of Pangingi, her meals being served in a chair at her side. About the only respite she takes from her favorite game is on Sunday morning, when she drives to church in her Manila built victoria.

A crowd of fellows were sitting on the sidewalk in front of the hotel when I took the only vacant chair. All were strangers to me and to one another. Finally a dried up young fellow who traveled for a white goods establishment said: "Well, sir, I see the mercury was up to 116 at Phoenix yesterday." "Is that so?" replied the shoe drummer. "Huh! 'taint nothin' to speak of. I see it git so hot down in Mexico that the grease run off the greasers." Here a fellow broke in who had just returned from Panama "Aw, you fellows make me tired. I been down to Panama, keepin' books for the canal superintendent. One Sunday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, when I had four nigger girls fannin' me with a fan hung on a tree, there was a rumble inside the earth just beneath me like somebody knocking on a door." "Did you find out what was knocking?" asked the St. Joe representative. "Yes," replied the Panama man as he shifted his chair to spit into the gutter. "it was the devil knockin' on heat."—Kansas City Drovers Telegram.

Skeltons in Trenches A curious discovery has been made in the course of some excavations that have been in progress in St. Martin de Re, in France. The excavators unearthed trenches in which lay skeletons which were presumably those of the citizens who fell fighting there in defending the town against the English in 1627. Among the skeletons was found a spherical iron bomb containing a most black powder, which was found to consist of about a third of nitre, a third of carbon, and a fifth of sulphur, the remainder being iron oxide derived from the rusting of the iron shell. The interest on the money a man spends for flowers and candy when he is engaged to a girl would keep her supplied all the years of her married life when he doesn't do it any more. The Bear Dance.

BEFORE Our Great Special Offer AFTER Kelley's Best Beats all the Rest. Kelley Milling Co. K. C., U. S. A. ON EQUAL TERMS BY EDGAR WHITE (Copyright 1905 by Daily Story Pub, Co.) No man in the camp could get quicker action on his shooting irons than Canada Jim. No man was slower to wrath, or greater in time of stress. Ever for the weak against the strong, the right against the wrong according to his lights, the man from Canada was accepted by the miners and light-trigger gentlemen of Happy Land as a glittering municipal success, and a citizen of parts. the cabin. Susie met them, scored fully. "Beg pardon, miss," said the leader raising his hat, deferentially, "The Captain Jack Hobson from the for across the line. We're looking for one Canada Jim. Might he be in these parts?"" "He might and he mightn't," said the girl, saxily; "but if you're itch to know I'll say its lucky for you he ain't here." The thing called law had not yet reared its depressing head in the region dominated by Canada Jim, but it was headed that way. News of Jim's latest exploit had traveled across the border, and the federal authorities at that time being men of narrow discernment and enlarged indigestion, had classified the dynamiting of a tenderfoot's plant as a crime. The fact that the tenderfoot went skyward with the engine house was an unforeseen accident, for he had no business to be there in the night time, and you couldn't expect Jim to hunt all over creation for people who ought to be in bed. The United States sent out a little, gimlet-eyed swashbuckler in command of the posse, a man Canada Jim "could have eat raw," to use his own expressive vernacular. The marshal's hunting knife was the only serious looking thing about him, and it rather reminded one of a patriotic youngster trailing his grandfather's sword. When Canada Jim was informed by courier what was coming his way, he moved out to the edge of the camp, ascended the hill a ways and met a girl of the mountains coming to the spring with a bucket. (What's up, Jim?) she asked. "There's a little crowd coming over from the fort," he said, carelessly. "I don't feel like runnin' from 'em, but if you could stow me away somewhere, Kate, for a half hour or so I'd be obliged. I'd tackle any three—yes, any five of 'em—but my powder wouldn't hold out for fifty, you know." The girl anxiously followed his remarks, and eagerly acted on his suggestion. ; 'Right you are, Jim,' she said, looking out of a pair of dark brown eyes, which made no attempt to shield the affection she had for this brawny giant of the West; 'I'll put you in a place they'll never think of looking.' Canada Jim looked reluctantly down the trail. "Damn me if I'll hide from 'em!" he said, in a sudden burst of anger; "what right 've them tin soldiers ter come ter these diggin' an' tell us what's what! You go inside, girlle, an' I'll learn 'em!" "Don't be foolish, Jim," said the girl, as she took his arm and endeavored to force him to accompany her; "they'd sure git you, and then what'd become o me? Come on, there's a good boy." The love light in her eyes pleaded more eloquently than her words. The KASON —n me, if I'll hide from 'em!’ he said, in a sudden burst of anger. but man put his arms around her and kissed her. ‘I guess you are right, Susie,’ he said, mournfully; “but it makes me hot to think o' them ginger-bred riders making Canada Jim hunt his hole. Put me where I can hear what goes on, an' if they says an onpilote word to ye I'll be among 'em 'fore they kills the time o' day.’ The tawny-haired maid of the mountains led the way to a rear addition made of plank, and pointed to some boards lying across near the roof. It was so dark that one could not be seen up there unless a light were carefully used in searching. A company of horsemen approached the cabin. Susie met them, scornfully. "Beg pardon, miss," said the leader, raising his hat, deferentially, "I'm Captain Jack Hobson from the fort, across the line. We're looking for one Canada Jim. Might he be in these parts?" "He might and he mightn't," said the girl, saecily; "but if you're fейn' to know I'll say its lucky for you he ain't here." The captain smiled and stroked his stub of a beard. "Yes?" he said interrogatively. Yes; he said interrogatively. "Yes!" she repeated, with fierce energy; "if Canada Jim was hereabouts he'd mix among you parlor solers J. M. "Hang him as quick as you want to for all me!" until yer uniforms wouldn't look smart any more." "I presume by that you mean Canada Jim is a bad man?" suggested the captain. "Bad! Well, I should hope so! Why, you wouldn't be enough to start his appetite." The captain smiled tantalizingly as he dismounted. Then raising his voice slightly he said: "Of course Canada Jim ain't here, and you don't know where he is. I'm sorry——" "You ought to be glad," she interrupted. "Well, I'm glad, then," he said, obligingly, "but what I started to say was that if Canada Jim was here it would save us the trouble of going out to his cabin and seizing his goods." The girl listened intently, but there was no sound from the outer shanty. A shade of disappointment passed over the little captain's grizzled face. "You are quite sure it would do no good to search here?" he asked. "It would do you no good; I wish he was here." "Yes, it's too bad; quite a disappointment," mused the captain, as with hand on revolver he entered the cabin and began looking around. "Twenty men after one!" exclaimed the girl, scornfully. "It is rather unfortunate odds," said the government's man, still looking around, perfunctorily, but evidently having learned what he desired to know; "now do you suppose it would make any difference if I were to send my men back to town and wait here for Jim by myself?" A joyful look spread over the young woman's face. "You wouldn't dare!" she cried. "Well, I have dared things in my time," said the captain, still prying about, "though I guess Canada Jim would be quite a proposition for one man. But"—he suddenly stopped in the center of the room and raised his voice so that it easily reached the hidden man—"in order to start a little excitement I believe I'll do it. If you see Jim to-day you might tell him for me that I'll meet him alone anywhere he says with bunting knives, revolvers or rifles, and the best man wins." "Just you?" said the girl eagerly. "Just me. You can come and look on, if you like." "Send your men back to town, then." The captain went to the door. "Fall in, boys," he said; "light out for Happy Land; nothing doing here. I'll meet you at sundown." "Maybe you will," murmured the mountain pink. Captain Hobson bowed to her logic and caressed the hilt of his hunting-knife. The girl stood in the doorway and watched the posse as it galloped down the valley. Then she glanced into the shanty. All was silent in that section. A shade of vexation crossed her face. "They're out of sight now," she said loudly. "They're gone," acquiesced the captain. Still no movement from the boards overhead. Susie looked steadily in that direction and frowned. With eyes gazing out the window, the little representative of the U. S. asked: "Do you think it likely Jim'll be "Do you think it likely Jim'll be here to-day?" "Be here?" returned the girl, hotly: "he's already here, hiding up there on them planks! You can get him easy if he ain't dead o' fright, and hang him quick as you want for all me!" GIVEN AWAY BY THEIR SHOES Footwear Has Frequently Led to Capture of Criminals. "Shoes have played an important part in the capture of criminals," said Detective William Barrett of Buffalo. "Had it not been for the footwear of certain thieves they would never have been caught. It is not so long ago that I and two others were detailed on a case, and before we caught our man, another shop had been burglarized. "We looked at the marks about the windows and noticed they were scraped by nails. We went back to the other place and found the same conditions. Later we went into a well-known resort and found a man sitting in a chair. He had his feet encased in a neat fitting pair of shoes, but for some reason he had nails put in the heels. We 'jumped' him at once, and searching his rooms we discovered enough loot to start a store. He later explained that the nails were put in his shoes to aid in roof climbing. "Squeaky shoes have caused the arrest of several thieves right precinct. The other night a thief thief bought a pair of cheap shoes and they were very musical. The man got into a place and before he got anything his noisy shoes gave him away and he was caught. All clever criminals have a penchant for buying good, soft shoes. They pay a good price for them and they are repaid sometimes by getting off with the swag to pay up for what they spent."—Shoe Retailer. ye dear Ye've dear, my heart, ye shall hae a' my gear; ye I wadah be ganghin 'aboil all alana If the wanna were 'a siller, an' you not m' aah.

But we did not intend to open a moral discussion. His father had always taught him he should "take pains in small things," as only the people who did so ever amounted to anything. The boy had pondered deeply over this advice, wondering duly what it meant. Until one morning when the lad awoke with a severe ache in every tooth. Then he was happy. For, with every tooth handing him a separate bunch of agony, he knew that he had "taken pains in small things." And he was happy.— Baltimore American. Something to Be Gained. "Moses," he said to the old colored man around the warehouse, "I hear that you have a son in Chicago." "Yes, sah, my son Peter has done gone to college, sah," was the proud reply. "Going to make a great man of him, ch?"

Her Secret. "Would you," she asked, "rather be lucky in love and poor or have great wealth and be incapable of loving?" "I think," he replied, "that I'd rather be lucky in love." After a long silence she said: "Well, I suppose one can't be lucky in love without making somebody else lucky in it at the same time." Then he took her in his arms and wanted to know how she had guessed that he was yearning for her. Had Use for Both Rolls. A certain type of cheap restaurant is the same all the world over. In a Berlin eating house of the cheap grade one man dropping in observed a friend being well bestowed.

INTERIOR OF SUBMARINE BOAT The picture shows a French boat, and the French terms are easily translated even if you don't know French. The picture shows a French boat, and the French terms are easily translated even if you don't know French. For many years there has been a never-ending, never conceding, never triumphing war between the world of fashion and the world of serious thought. From the days when the stolks of ancient Rome strove to awaken the dissipated set of their day to the grim realities of life and of philosophy down to the present busy era, in which the preachers in the pulpit try to arouse responsibility in the use of the enormous wealth of to-day and humane societies endeavor to protect the innocent wild things from the onslaught of eternally barbaric fashion there has existed all pitched battle one half of the world against the other half. Bishop Henry C. Potter wrote: 'There is an element of savagery in the use of birds for personal decoration which is in grotesque contrast with our boasts of civilization; but even the savage stops short, as a rule, with the feathers. It is only Christian people who think it worth while to English People Fond of Toothsome Shell Delicacy. "These clams of yours—the cherry-stones especially—are all right," said an English tourist, "but I miss my winkles." "Winkles? What are they?" "Little shellfish. The finest, sweetest morsel that the sea gives up. What beer is to a German, pie to a Yankee, long pig to a cannibal, all that and more winkles are to a Briton. Good? Well! "The trade in winkles is big. "The British winkle grounds, or winkleries, are on the east coast, on the mud flats. There the little winkles feed by millions on the sea grass, and there between the tides the winkler pick them up. A winkler averages $10 a week for three hours of work a day. "Many winklers lose their lives, for the mud flats are treacherous. Walking on them you wear splashers—things like snowshoes—but your splashers won't save you if you step into a patch of the 'green death.'" "The 'green death' is a quicksand on the marsh. A man will sink ten feet in it in half an hour. Before you can dig him out the tide rolls up, the greasy water a rattle with big crabs, and before the ebb sets in the poor chap's bones are picked clean. "You can pick 1,200 winkles an hour on a good foreshore. "To own a winkle foreshore, or winklery, is to be rich in perpetuity. Many of these foreshores have been yielding for a hundred years and their supply of winkles increases annually. INTERIOR OF SU The picture shows a French boat translated even if you don't know for the pickers can't keep up with the busy little creature's propagation. "Winkle foreshores are guarded and tended with great care. I know of several that yield their owners $25,000 a year apiece." A. Piece of Impiety A clergyman was condemning a man who had refused to subscribe to a worthy charity. "I'll tell you something about that man," he said, "which I had promised myself never to reveal. It was as nasty a piece of irreverence, I guess, as history records. "This fellow once was implious enough to get rid of an unwelcome guest by using a prayer as a—ah—a bouncer. "The guest, it seems, had overstayed his time—had been invited for a week, remained a fortnight, and showed a disposition to continue on a month. It was aggravating, I admit. But to bounce him with a prayer! Well! "That, though, is what the man did. At the end of the second week he concluded the usual morning exhortation with this sentence: "And, Lord, bless, we beseech Thee. Brother Jonathan Sharp, who leaves by the 3 o'clock train this afternoon." butcher a whole bird to adorn their headgear. I am sure, however, that it is largely from that unreflecting habit which is a leading vice in people who follow the fashions. But it is a vice, as Hood sang when he wrote: "But cell is wrought by want of thought As well as want of heart." Oliver Holmes, too, wrote once of his hearty and cager sympathy with all and every one who tried to "prevent the waste of these innocent, happy, beautiful and useful lives on which we depend for a large share of our natural enjoyment." But it was Charles Dudley Warner who made the aptest aphorism on the matter that has yet been printed. It is celebrated, but can hardly be too often weighed, and it should have a pretty certain influence on the vain little heart of my lady: "A dead bird does not help the appearance of an ugly woman, and a pretty woman needs no such ornament."—Chicago Record-Herald. Few Minutes of Discomfort for Graduating Class. The class which was recently graduated from the University of Bellevue Hospital Medical college was an unusually unruly one. When the students were particularly obstreperous Dr. Joseph D. Bryant would be called upon by the faculty to give the young men a calling down. Just before the examinations began Dr. Bryant called a meeting of the men who hoped to graduate, and when they had assembled he took a slip of paper from his pocket and impressively announced: "In the course of the session I had frequently cause to warn you that your conduct, or rather misconduct, during the term would be taken into consideration when examination time came, and your record during the year would determine whether you would be permitted to try for graduation. To prove that the threat was no idle one I shall now read off the names of the students who are entitled to take the examination this year." Then Dr. Bryant deliberately unfolded the piece of paper he held in his hand and carefully adjusting his eyeglasses proceeded to read the names on the list, while the students sat still for the first time in their college career and "cursed the day that they were born and sweat blood," as one of them later expressed it, while they waited to learn if their names had been kept from the list. All things come to an end, and finally the doctor finished reading, and SUBMARINE BOAT at, and the French terms are easily French. when he replaced the list in his pocket the name of every man in the class had been called.—New York Times. Greeley Peculiarities. William Barnes, Sr., of Albany was a very old and intimate friend of Horace Greeley. "Mr. Greeley," said he the other day, "was peculiar in every relation of life except when he had a pen in his hand and a reform to write about. Then his head was level. "His wife was just as peculiar as he was. They had one son, Pickey, who died young. Mrs. Greeley never permitted the boy to eat flesh or to know that animals were killed for food. "Mrs. Greeley was as earnest a reformer as Mr. Greeley, and as indifferent as he to the conventionalities of life. Mr. Greeley took me up to the house once to dinner, and I noticed the flour barrel standing in the front hall. There was a trail of flour from the place where it stood out into the kitchen. I thought perhaps it had just come in and they had not had time to move it. But, happening to pass it, I saw that it was nearly empty. The delivery man had set it down in the hall, and it had never occurred to either of them to move it into the kitchen." After that the Deluge.

Deep Valley, Pa., Oct. 2d.—(Special.)—There is deep interest in Green county over the cure of the little daughter of I. N. Whipkep of Rheumatism. She was a great sufferer for five or six years and nothing seemed to do her any good till she tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. She began to improve almost at once and now she is cured and can run and play as other children do. Mr. Whipkep says: "I am indeed thankful for what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my daughter; they saved her from being a cripple perhaps for life." Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that Rheumatism is one of the results of diseased Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid in the blood. If the Kidneys are right there can be no Uric Acid in the blood and consequently no Rheumatism. Dodd's Kidney Pills make the Kidneys right.

For the statement that foxes have holes there is not only the authority of natural history but of Gospel. The typical habitation of the fox is a hole in the ground. "Running to earth" and "digging out" are well known incidents of the English sport. The fox is a wise beast in all things, wise enough to rent the burrow of any animal, but in default of such abodes he is quite capable of digging for himself, and that with remarkable speed. Good Proof of Guilt When William M. Evarts was a young man he defended in court a man named Edwards, who was charged with forgery. The trial was an interesting one, and Mr. Evarts by brilliant work secured his client's acquittal. He had a strong belief that the man was innocent until the trial was all over. Then he changed his opinion. Edwards paid Mr. Evarts his fee with a forced check. English Tavern Signs. A tavern sign seen in various parts of England is "The Dog's Head in a Pot," accompanying the painting of a dog eating out of a three-legged pot, which may seem to mean that the host is kind and his vines good. Another significant sign is "Five Miles from Anywhere No Hurry," seen in Hampshire a pleasant reminder that it is an agreeable place to linger. Nourishment in Skim Milk In skimming milk the cream removed lessens the fat percentage, and for older people or fat children the skin milk is equally desirable, in some cases better. In eating apples the skin, too, should be eaten. Fated apples are not so nutritious, as the ash contents of the apple skin are valuable to the human system.

Victima of Official Pleasure. The viceroy of the Two Kuang provinces, China, recently put out a proclamation that no pawnbank was to take arms in pawn. Being later himself in need of funds, he sent his own agents with arms to pledge. Five shops accepted them; and these afterward paid fines in the amount of $7,250 each. Needless Pother It is a reflection on our intelligence that we spend so much time on our food, and so much more time in talking about it. We must eat, of course, but what a needless bother there is about the dishes, and the cookery, and the garnish! — Illustrated London News. Poeta and Irresponsibility. Poets are wayward creatures, largely irresponsible for their actions, or at all events, provided with such a curiously sensitive and inflammable organization that we feel it would be unjust to judge them by ordinary standards—London Telegraph. Frailty Common to Mankind. All men have their frailties, and whoever looks for a friend without imperfection will never find what he seeks. We love ourselves notwithstanding our faults and we ought to love our friends in like manner.—Cyrus. Norway Loans to Farmers Farmers can borrow money from the government in Norway at 3 per cent interest, and still the Norse rush to other lands. The reason is that the collateral on which to borrow is rather difficult to get in Norway. Cigarette Case Saves Life Returning to his house at Argentouil, in France, Mr. Hugh Gooldin was shot at by a discharged employee, the bullet flattening itself against a silver cigarette case, which he carried just over his heart. The Only Religious Test No religious test has been devised, short of burning a man at the stake—the ultimate and only satisfactory test—which will operate as a trustworthy criterion of sincere belief.

The Doctor says that his experience and study has taught him that the scalp of the colored people requires a special treatment, and he has discovered the greatest REMEDY the WORLD has ever known for the HAIR of colored people. He will make the hair GROW from one to three inches per month if the directions and instructions are carefully followed out. We have many cases on record where the above results have been obtained, and we do not hesitate to use the KINK-ONE the only safe preparation in the WORLD that is guaranteed to make the HAIR STRAIGHT and make dry hair smooth and stop it from breaking off and failing out; takes out all the kinks and knots, causes Dandruff, makes the hair soft and silky, and by nourishing the roots gives it new life and vigor, restoring it to READ WHAT A CUSTOMER SAYS OF IT Mrs. Rose Hott, Atlanta, GA., writes, "I feel more good now that I have everything I ever used.
