The Rising Son

Rising 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. C LEW DOCKSTADER. DOCKSTADER'S MINSTRELS AT THE GRAND NEXT WEEK. The finale of the first part is a new and stricking patriotic anthem, "The Heaven Born Banner," which blds fair to become one of the National airs. During the song a number of picture-sque tableaux, illustrative of the most important events in American history, will be introduced. In the second part, besides Mr. Dockstader's specialties, which have already been referred to, will be seen a new and original song and dance called "Among the Vines," specially devised and produced for Mr. Dockstader by Barney Fagan. It will be executed by a phalanx of twenty dancers, led by Carroll Johnson and Manuel Romain, and including Tommy Hyde, Leighton and Leighton, the Foley Brothers, Billy Cawley, John Daly, Max Scheck, Joseph Lestrange, and others. Glimpses of the various styles of clog and soft shoe dancing will be seen during this act. Neil O'Brien, whose street car satire was so popular last season, will introduce a farcical skit on department stores, in which he will show the troubles of the modern floor walker. The Dockstader octette will sing some of the songs of the older American composers, including those of Stephen C. Foster. The entertainment will close with an atmosphere picture of Southern life written by Mr. Dockstader, and called "Moses." This is a spectacle of rare beauty, full of humor and pathos. Scenically, it is superb, introducing as it does, the most realistic storm scene that has ever been presented in a theater. 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 entertainment entitled "Juvenile Specialties" given at Arlington Hall, Sept. 22, 1905, for the benefit of St. Augustine Mission was a grand success. The net profit being $165.10. Secret of Happiness Bounder—You seem to be remarkably happy since your marriage. What's the explanation? Bounder—My wife is a firm believer in fairy stories. His Reason When Willie jumped from his seat on the street car and gave it to the gentleman who had been hanging to the strap, it filled us with pride. "You are a perfect little gentleman, Willie," we said. "It was fine of you to give your seat to the gentleman." "Huh!" exclaimed Willie. "I ain't give it to him 'cause o' that. Seein' him holdin' on to that strap reminded me to much o' what happened last night when I got home after playin' hookey in th' afternoon." 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,eSMOiarA2sor-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, luxurious 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 prizefighter'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. "Ma," 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. 13. 1905. Often the Case. "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, excitedly. "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. Citiman—Was that all? Subbubs—Yes, you see, only about hal for 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." A man across the river has run away from his wife because an expected infant prved to be twins. Let him keep out of Mr. Roosevelt's path while Mr. Roosevelt is wearing his repeating rifle, that's all—Brooklyn Eagle. 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-banched 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 algn. 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 Bucceuch. Commit Sport by Proxy: "Vandal," a well known writer on sports, sald 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 commit 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. Kinling as Critic. Here is Rudyard Kipling's advice to an author who submitted a story for his criticism: "Tear out second chapter and scatter broadcast. Change name of hero and name of story; then get down to business and rewrite the whole thing." -Atlanta Constitution. Black Rot in Cabbage. Soaking the seed for fifteen minutes in a 1:1000 corrosive sublimate solution or in a 0.4 per cent formalin solution just before planting is suggested as a cheap and effective means of destroying the germs upon the seed. Eiremen Start a Blaze. When the volunteer fire department of Tunbridge Wells, England, was on parade a spark from one of the engines set fire to a haystack, and the fire burned itself out, for the volunteers proved unable to extinguish it. 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 Delabere, Eng., which stands in the middle of a farmyard. The only means of entrance is by passing through the yard. III:Timed Wit. "Did he leave you anything when he died?" I asked of the fatherless girl, who cried, "Oh, yes, he did!" And I questioned "What was it?" "He left me an orphan, sigh!" —Cleveland Leader. Girls' Best Safeguard Let us teach our daughters that life is not only tennis and parties. Let us endow them with the best of insurance—a profession at their fingers' ends.—Woman. Rills Cause Peritonitis Death from peritonitis, due to excessive taking of pills, was stated to be the cause of a woman's death at a Bristol (England) inquest. British Railroads Well Manned. American railroads have six employees for every mile of track and the British roads have twentyeight. Income of Oxford College The income of Oxford University is slightly under $350,000 a year. HEN WILSON IN TROUBLE. Scandal Disturbs Serenity of Inhabitants of Binnoville It is rumored on remitie 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 it 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 no returned some a sadder and wiser man and him and Sary Ann made up again and started out together to try to live a different life with the死 of peace perched above their heartstone, as you might say. But now ruction swift and terrible us 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 bad left home folowed by all the cooking utensils in the kitchen. Mrs. Hooper told it to Ben 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 MET 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 courtyard and chivalric gentleman and great writer in a playful mood: Mr. Ruskin was taking a morning walk down the road just in front of Brantwood, when he saw a lady sented 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 him to you." In a twinkling the stool and easel 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 stranger into the drawing room; then, placing his back to the fireplace, a familiar attitude, he explained, to the amazement of his companion: "Now, what do you think of Ruskin?" From "The Gigour" From "The Glauron." He who bath hath him over the dead Are the first day of death is led. The first dark day of Nothingness, Before Decease effacing fingers. Have swept the lines where Beauty ling rest. Not marked by the mild ample air. Their murk of Repose that's there. The fixed yet tender rails that streak The linger of the shud check. And but for that shud shredred eye. That first not wires not weeps not now Where cold (instruction) my painy Appalks the gazing mourner's heart. As if to him it could impart The doom he dreads, yet dwells upon. Yes, for these and these mourners. Some moments, one teacher's hour. He still might doubt the Tyrant's power So fair so calm, so softly saddled. The face for these and these mourners? Such is the aspect of this shore. Tis Greece, but Living Greece no more! So coldly sweet, so deadly fair So start for Soul seems warming there. That parts not quite with parting breath? But beauty with that fearful bloom. That hue which haunts it to the tomb. A glided Halo hovering round decay. The firewall team of Feeling past away Spark of that shame perchance of heavenly birth. Which glaures, but warms no more its earth. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. The first term of the scholastic year, 1905-6, has thus far (three weeks) proved a record-breaker. The enrollment to date, October 9th, is three hundred and thirty-one, and every day adds to the rapidly increasing number. Already it is necessary to divide classes because of their size and soon it will be necessary to make sub-divisions. Students are here from the Pacific Coast on the West Gulf of Mexico on the South, and the Great Lakes on the North. The College Department has enrolled a larger number than usual and all of the industries are over crowded. Summer school students are sending in letters from various points, telling how much was gained in methods of teaching and subject matters; that they have been able to secure better positions with higher salaries because of the work accomplished during the seven weeks' course in Lincoln Institute. Graduates of the institution are constantly in demand to fill excellent positions both within and without the state; and President Allen, who takes great pleasure in looking after their welfare, and who is always hunting them up, has been able to secure good positions for nearly or quite all of the graduates of the last three years, who have desired to teach. The football team is getting in shape for its annual triumphs on the gridiron; meanwhile the young ladies are enjoying exercises through croques and other games of the campus. The psychology of the new education recognizes the fact that "All work and no play" is, to say the least, injurious. Mr. W. H. Grinshaw, author of "A History of Fremasonry among the colored people in North America, and to whom an appeal was made in a recent controversy between the Grand Lodges of Iowa and Missouri is the distinguished father of Miss Mary E. Grinshaw, the talented head of the sowing department of Lincoln institute. The many friends of the institutions will read with great pleasure, the article in the October number of the Missouri School Journal, "The Missouri School System," in which occurs the following well-merited testimonial: "Lincoln Institute is a college, normal school and industrial institute all in one. It is not to be surpassed by Tuskogee or Hampton in industrial features, although it is not advertised nearly so much. It is supported by the state and does not have the appeal to the charitably inclined for support. There is no good reason for exploiting its merits. Too many students from other states seek admission now." It Did. "This watch will work like a charm," said the dealer, "And it will cost you but a dollar." We paid the dollar. By the way; did you ever see a charm that kept time? The dealer was correct, and we have no complaint to make. The watch worked like a charm—exactly like a charm. "Papa," he said one day, "sailors must be awful small men." "Why do you think so?" asked his father. "Because," answered Harry, "I read in the papers about one who went to sleep on his watch." When a man declares he is out of politics he doesn't always stop to explain why. Men often miss opportunity's knock because they are themselves so busy "knocking." The heaviest collection place doesn't always indicate the most religion. Very often a dog runs as fast as he can, and the rabbit gets away. RUITIOUS God Reigns. Todd, need not have a tear: For He who saveth by His strong right hand Hids storm clouds disappear. And the they rise and threaten dark dis- aster. Trust He for even Death hath found Him Master. All things are shaped according to His will; God reigns. Be still. God reigns, O heart he glad! Then need not have a care; For He who saveth the longing soul gives blessings rich and rare. And the they seem in future, seeming sorrow. Hope on His love will brighten each to- morrow. He loses the rejoice; then be not sad. God reigns. Be glad. - Oliver B. Stephens, in the Technical World. The Sacrament of Service. They belong every one his neighbor, brother, befriend, cousin, brother, 4, 4, 6. When Jesus was upon earth He said that every benefaction which was bestowed upon one of the least of the brethren in a loving spirit was acceptable unto Him. Inasmuch is a word which is full of significance to all charity workers. "All the beautiful sentiments in the world will weigh less than a single lovely action." The Bible says "do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith." No gift of means or might will ever fail to be thrice blest. Let the largest end of your generosity be beneath the surface if it chances so to be; let the number of your benefactions be a secret if you will, but, whether secret or public, crowd your life with endless benefactions and countless mercies. Edwin Markham has a beautiful poem entitled "Irasmuch." He pictures a watchman, Ivan by name, on Moscow's castled height guarding the citadel. The driving snow was heaping itself against the wall when a half bare beggar man trotted past. The watchman ran and threw his own coat around the half frozen oggar, but that very night died himself from exposure: But waking in that Better Land that Wearing the heavy, hairy coat he gave By Moscow's tower before he left the grave. "And where, dear Lord, found You this A thing of mine, glory such as Thine" Then the Lord answered with a look of light. "This is my son, you gave to Me last night." But there is another way to again offer the sacrament of service than by giving food to eat and raiment to put on: It is suggested by the last half of the text, "And every one said to his brother, Be of good courage." There are men and women in this world who need an encouraging word more than they need bread. Man does not live by bread alone. There are people who have been unfortunate in their lives. They are pessimistic and discouraged and distrust all the world. There are others who are in some vocation which does not measure up to their ambition, and they need to have some one tap them on the shoulder and say, "Be of good courage." Very few of us realize how much help there" is in a handshake when given in a brotherly way. One of Wellington's officers when commanded to go on some perilous duty, lingered a moment, as if afraid, and then said: "Let me have one clasp of your all-conquering hand before I go, and then I can do it." The majority of the needy ones of earth ask not for our money, but for our sympathy, and our sympathy we ought to give, "Someone ought to do it, but why should I?" should be turned into the sacrificial sentiment, "Some one ought to do it, so why not I?" Frederick Douglas appreciated the uplift which President Lincoln always gave him when they met, for Douglas said: "He is the only man who does not remind me that I am a negro." To say to a weak brother with all the meaning in your soul, "Be of good courage" will often make him a moral giant and suffer him to rise above his difficulties and his shortcomings. There are very few persons who do not need words of encouragement who do not need to have some one say to them, "Be of good courage." No one has ever been able to speak this word with such pathos as Jesus, and no hearts have ever been lifted into the presence of their best selves as those to whom He spoke. When the woman was brought to Him taken in her sin, it was "Go, sin no more." When others would condemn the woman an who stole her way into the house of Simon the leper, to anoint Jesus' feet. He said: "She hath done what she could." When Mary and Martha were mourning the loss of a brother it was "The thy brother shall rise again." When the thief on the cross threw himself upon Jesus' compassion, the Master said, "Today thou shalt be next me in Paradise."—Rev. Albert J. Lord. Your Owa Soul "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength." You can't help people if you go to them robbed of your strength through doubts and fears and perplexities. So wait on God till he strengthens your heart. Don't get impatient. Don't try before hand to find out what God will say nor just how he will say it. He will surely teach you, but you must let him do it in his own way, and then you will be able to help people with all the might and wisdom of Jobovah. You must trust his love and you must abide his time; but you must wait on him, and expect him to teach you. If the King of England is coming to Windsor castle the servants do not lie around listlessly, nor hunt up a lot of work to do, but every one stands in his own place and waits with eager expectancy. This is what I mean by waiting upon God. This kind of taking care of your own soul you cannot do too much of, and don't let any one drive you from it by ridicule or entreaty. The woodman may be very foolish who thought he had so much wood to cut that he couldn't take time to grind his ax. The servant would be useless who went to the city to buy things for his master, but was in such a hurry that he didn't come to his master for orders, and for the needed money. How much worse is he who attempts to do God's work without God's direction and strength.—Lieut. Col. S. L. Brengle. How to Bear Crosses You have to hear many a cross, but you need them, since God lays them on you. He knows how to select them; it is the fact of their being his selection which disturbs and roots out self will. Crosses which you picked out and thought well to bear, so far from being crosses and mears of death unto self, would be all that was wanted to sustain and strengthen self will. You complain of your interior darkness and poverty: "Blessed are the poor in spirit." "Blessed are they who, not having seen, yet have believed." Is it not far enough for us to see if we can perceive our own frailty, and not attempt to palliate it? If we see our own darkness it will do! There is then no light whereby to indulge a curious disposition, but as much as is needed for mistrusting self, setting self aside, and yielding to others. What would that goodness no worth of which a man was always inwardly conscious, and with which he was satisfied—a mere visible light? I thank our Lord that he deprives you of so dangerous a stay. Go, like Abraham, "not knowing whither;" follow the leadings of lowliness, simplicity, detachment, forbearance toward others, and contentment under all your troubles.-Fenelon. The Problem of Love: Duty-doing must not depend upon difficulty or case. Some pieces of music are easy to learn, and some are hard; but the good musician learns both kids; not only that, he learns them both equally well. Some problems of mathematics are easy, and some are hard, but the good mathematician solves them both, and solves them both correctly. Jesus speaks of the duty of love in the same way. Love is not only a beautiful and pleasurable sentiment, as Christ treats of it; it is also a stern duty. Some of love's attainments are easy, and some are hard; the Christian strives for them all. When our foolishness cries out, saying, "I cannot love people whom I do not like." Jesus answers, "Thou shalt love." We must keep at it until we do it. There can be no "carnot" in it; there is just duty and accomplishment as in every other great and high thing in life. Thou shalt love thy neighbor and thine enemies, the lovable and the unlovable. This is the problem of love; it can be solved only in Christ. --- As They Will Seem. See all things, not in the blinding and deceitful glare of the world's noon, but as they will seem when the shadows of life are closing in. At eventing the sun seems to loom large on the horizon, while the landscape gradually fades from view; and then the sunset reveals the infinitude of space crowded with unnumbered worlds, and the firmament glows with living sapphires. Even so, let the presence of God loom large upon the narrow horizon of your life, and the firmament of your souls glow with living sapphires of holy thoughts. Ah! try now to look at the world and its allurements as they will seem in the last hour; to look at unlawful pleasures as it shall then seem, not only a disappointing; but a depressing and an envenomed thing; to look at the small alms of ambition as they shall seem when they have dwindled into their true paltriness—Canon Farrar, Faith in God. God hath a thousand keys to open a thousand doors for the deliverance of his own when it has come to the greatest extremity. Let us be faithful and care for our own part, which is to do and suffer for him, and lay God's part on himself, and leave it there; duties are ours, events are the Lord's. When our faith goeth to meddle with events, and to hold a court (if I may so speak), upon God's providence, and beginneth to say, "How wilt thou do this or that?" we lose ground. We have nothing to do there, it is our part to let the Almighty exercise his own office and steer his own helm—Samuel Rutherford. WHAT SMART WOMEN ARE WEARING Stiffened Foundation Skirts The coming vogue of overskirt effects will demand some considerable stiffening to be used in the foundation skirt, for the natural swing of the hip will give the top part of the skirt an outward tendency, while the flounces that are destined to fashion the lower part of the skirt will require artificial tid if they are to conform to the dictates of Dame Fashion and continue to display the same outward line. Inliningings, and especially those of a leather-weight princess hairstloth, are high favor abroad, and the best makers on this side have taken their use from their Parisian brethren and adopted the same, to the great success of their creations. For Dutch Suppers. From the chef of a big eastern hotel soups this relish for Dutch suppers. It is to be used as a filling for sandwiches, or, with thin wafers, to serve with beer. Put half a pound of rich, American cheese through a patent grinder or chop it fine. Add saltspoonful of paprika, a teaspoonful of salt, a level tablespoonful of English mustard which has been mixed with a little vinegar, three tablespoonfuls of Worcestershire sauce, and a pill of pale sherry. Mix the whole into a smooth paste with a wooden spoon and stand it in a cool place, but not in the refrigerator.—What to Eat. Pretty Dressing Gown. Such a wrap as we all require during the winter months. The "skirts" are very full. Indeed, there is very little shape in the whole garment; but a charming finish is arranged by means of the full collar shaped to a point at both back and front and edged with a full frilling of lace. ```markdown ``` The sleeves are short, puffed, and very full; while at the elbow a full frill of the material or, if preferred, a deep frill of lace. is arranged just there, held in place by a band of ribbon or lace insertion or embroidery. Any who desire it can add a girdle sash or belt to this dressing-gown, catching the fulness into the figure at the waist-line if desired. The best materials to employ are muslin, plain, sprigged, or spotted delailles, soft silk, nun's veiling, flannel, fannelette, or even a soft serge. New Flannels for Waists. Gay checked and striped flannels of all colors of the rainbow are in for autumn waistls. Among them none are more attractive than a white flannel, striped at wide intervals with bright colored tartan. A very smart waist of this kind was sent to a young woman who means to stay at a northern resort. The waist was hand-tucked in the front, bringing the bright red plaid stripes close together in the front. The full sleeves were tucked, and were finished with a small turned back cuff of tartan. Large pearl buttons fastened the waist in front. Black patent leather belts are popular. Smart Carriage Cloak Tafetta is at the head of the silk list for carriage cloaks and there is a practical as well as a stylish design in almond green. Cloaks of this sort will also be in high favor for evening wear, with the woman who must needs use a trolley car to convey her to the theater or evening function. The collar and cuffs are of oriental gold embroidery and the fullness on shoulders is confined in several rows of shirrings. Pickied Plums. For nine pounds of blue plums allow five pounds of sugar, one quart vinegar and an ounce of stick cinnamon. Pick the plums with a large needle and pour the boiling hot syrup over them and let stand until cold. Heat the syrup and pour over the plums for four successive days. On with day holl together for twenty minutes before sealing in jars. cloth. The skirt is finished at the bottom with a wide band of the material stitched at the edges. ```markdown ``` The new empire jacket has a short-waisted upper part ornamented with four large buttons, to which the basque or lower part is attached with plaits. The revers and rippled shoulder collar are of the material, and the collar and cuffs are faced with black velvet. Wearing of Brown. Brown, which has been so fashionable all the season through, is gaining in favor rather than diminishing, and there are as many shades almost as it is possible to find in any color, and it suits everybody. since it has been so much in favor many new shades have been brought out in it and many new names given to old colors. We have mustard brown, tobacco brown, snuff brown, golden brown, moleskin brown, deer brown and hundreds of others; perhaps these are more in favor than the mahogany shades, but not so much so as walnut and chestnut; and mingles well with brown, and so does orange. A good many cashmeres and long-skirted coats in fine cloth have had a great following in this color, and rich silk cloth looks very well on ladies cloth of tabac tone. Terra-cotta or wood shades convey more to the mind, but warmer tones of brown are really most in favor. Cashmere in these brown shades is trimmed with ruchings of lace put on in a scroll work. Boudoir Confidences Fuchsia reds and blues will play a part in the color scheme. Topcoats for cold weather in cloth, velvet or fur will be much worn. How terribly incongruous most of us are going to look in the empire modes! Coats with the fronts cut like a man's evening waistcoat will be prominent. The circular skirt will be ubiquitous, and most apparent in plaids and checks. The postillon will reign. It will be on evening coats of silk, also on cloth street models. Oval buckles of white pearl cost little and give the inexpensive white belt an individual air. Among the new boas is one made entirely of green leaves with pink camellias at the ends. The smartest French mourning hats are of black crepe trimmed with folds and bows of white crepe. Bloomers for Children Sensible mothers are going to let their little girls wear bloomers with their winter suitings. These bloomers may match the stockings or peticoats—thus for instance, a child wearing black shoes will have a pair of black silk or black cashmere bloomers. Where brown shoes and stockings are worn the bloomers will carry out the color note. It is not so desirable to have the bloomers made of the material of the dress. It is too suggestive of the boy's knickerbockers. --- Lighter Colors the Mode: Lighter Colors the Mode For several seasons past Dame Fashion has been inclining toward the fair tones. She has worn the pale cru and the coffee tints; and she has put on mode and biscuit, lilac and cream, with fawn and pale red thrown in to afford relief when she became tired of the others. The fashionable woman of autumn can wear light blue; she can put on a delicate grass green; she can dress herself in the color of the spring roses and she can wear the faint tones of heliotrope and gray. All of the pale tints are open to her selection and all have the distinction of being in the mode. The lighter tones are really more becoming to women than the darker ones. There are few women who do not look well in cream color. Fewer indeed those who cannot wear white. And white cloth will be worn quite a little this fall, if not for shopping and pedestrianism, at least for reception and calling. Salt dissolved in alcohol will often remove grease spots from clothing. A small square of asbestos kept on the ironing board will save the ironing sheet. A little lard or butter always improves cakes made of Indian meal, as it makes them light and tender. A delicious crust is formed on sponge cake if the top is dusted over with powdered sugar just before the case is put into the oven. Carpets may be refreshed and brightened by going over them once a week with a broom dipped in hot water that has a little turpentine in it. Table Decorations. Flowers are no longer massed in the center of the table. A few choice blossoms are used, distributed in a dainty way about the table surrounding the central cluster, which, compared to what we have been accustomed to, is meager. The sparse use of floral decorations requires a new set of vases or flower holders and specially made for the purpose are crystal stands, banded with silver. For the table center is a circle in two halves, to be used separately, if he wishes. To go with it are small single vases for the cornres. Autumn Headgear The first autumn headscarf is the easiest of all to manage, as this season lends itself especially to the stiff effects of ready-to-wear millinery. Straw is worn much later now than it used to be, so few felt hats are yet seen, and unless those are in white or the palest tints they have little of the glamour of first millinery. The straw shapes are in the main darkly colored, browns, blues, reds and grays standing out with prominence, velvet and wing trimmings mingling as usual with the hat structure. With the plainer shapes or the big sailor order there are big puffy crowns pushed up at the left by some species of trimming, for a side lift, or if the hat tits slightly forward the trimming of velvet or straw is massed underneath. Fairy Gingerbread. One cupful of butter, two of sugar, one of milk, four of flour, three-fourths of a teaspoonful of soda, one tablespoonful of ginger. Beat the butter to a cream. Add the sugar gradually, and, when very light, the ginger, the milk in which the soda has been dissolved and finally the flour. Turn baking pans upside down and wipe the bottoms very clean. Butter them and spread the cake mixture very thin on them. Bake in a moderate oven until brown. While still hot cut into squares with a cake knife and slip from the pan. Keep in a tin box. This is delicious. With the quantities given a large dish of ginger-bread can be made. It must be spread on the bottom of the pan as thin as a wafer and cut the moment it comes from the oven. New Waist Model Blouse of silk, w of the same bordered with stitching. The narrow vest is ornamented with soutache, and the neck is finished with a plaiting of batiste. 1 Three ruffles of the silk form caps for the sleeves, which are finished at the bottom with bands of the material, ornamented with soutache and bordered with plait Stylish Visiting Gown Princess lines are to gain rather than lose in prestige and evening gown, visiting gown, street gown, are all to be seen in princess form. A costume of this type is of mulberry silk chiffon velvet. The skirt is, of course, plain and the stock and pointed yoke are dotted silk a few shades lighter than the velvet. Bordering the latter, a wide band of the velvet in fine plaits accentuate the yoke effect. Sleeves are puffed to the elbow, from where they finish in mousquetaire fashion. Another Apple Filling One cup of coffee sugar, one egg, three large apples grated, one lemon, grated, juice and outside of rind; heat together and cook until quite thick. To be cooled before putting on cake. Spread between layers of cake. Lunch Biscuits. One pound and a half of flour, half a pound of butter, three-quarters of a pound of sugar, a teaspoonful of soda, dissolved. Beat the sugar and butter together until thoroughly mixed, then add the flour and as much milk as will form a dough. Roll into sheets, cut them in cakes and bake quickly. Kitchen Shower. The linen shower and the tin shower are familiar ways of testifying to a feeling of friendly regard for the bride-to-be. There is a newer shower, however, something on the tin order, but more comprehensive. This is the kitchen shower and the gifts include every sort of furnishing for the up-to-date kitchen and laundry. Gifts for the dining-room are included occasionally, but as a general things the shower is confined to the kitchen outfit. Girl's Suit of Blue Cloth. The bell skirt is trimmed at the is trimmed at the bottom with two shaped ruffles of the material. The blouse forms a boxplait in front, ornamented with gold buttons, on each side of which is a group of plaits. 1 The double shoulder collar is attached by a band of the material, the ends turned back a nd ornamented with embroidery. The chemisette is of lace, or gulpure, and the girdle is of leather. The sleeves are finished just below the elbows with cuffs of motifs of embroid the material and ery. Flowered Net Tea Gown. Flowered net was the material used for a handsome tea gown recently on view. A design of pale pink roses with the faintest of green leaves on white net was made over a lining of pale pink silk and the tea gown was trimmed with a profusion of deep lace making a garment of the daintiest description.

AWFUL NEURALGIA Mr. Porter Thought He Should Go Mad But Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Cured Him. "It seems like a miracle that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills should have cured my neurasia," said Mr. Porter. "They are certainly a marvelous medicine and I am always glad to recommend them. "Fortwo years," he continued, "I had suffered almost unendurable pains in my head. They would start over my eyes and shoot upward most frequently, but they often spread over my face, and at times every part of my head and face would be full of agony. Sometimes the pains were so intense that I actually feared they would drive me mad. "My eyes ached constantly and there was always a burning sensation over my forehead, but the other pains varied, sometimes they were acute, and again they were dull and lingering. I could not sleep. My temper was irritable and I got no pleasure out of life. "I tried remedy after remedy, but finding no help in any of them, I became a despairing man. Even when I began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I had no great hope of a cure. "That was in December of 1903. To my surprise, a change in my condition took place right away. The pains grew less intense and the acute attacks were further apart, as I kept on using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. The improvement began with the first box, and when I had used six boxes I stopped. My cure was complete and has lasted ever since." Mr. Charles H. Porter lives at Raymond, N. H.

Fall Planting in the Garden Interesting Lessons to All Those Who Are Making Ready for This Fascinating Work The joyous season of bulb planting is at hand, and it is high time to send for catalogues, but there are many delightful things to do in the garden now besides the planting of tulips, hyacinths, crocuses and daffodils. or your neighbor's, you would find it an experiment to make this fall. You will have a better chance with large seeds than small ones, especially if you soak them for twenty-four hours. If you sow the seeds late in the fall Frost always comes too soon! So does the inevitable storm that whirls the autumn leaves to the ground. after which we are likely to have a month of heavenly weather, when we might be enjoying the gorgeous autumn colors Many's the year I have seen cannas, dahilas and all the tender bedding plants burned to a crisp, or at least badly singed and disfigured, by a premature frost, after which our misfortune was mocked by a long succession of warm, cloudless, sunny "Indian Summer" weather. It is so easy to avoid such a catastrophe that I am astonished that more people are not on their guard. You cannot always be absolutely sure that frost will come during any particular night, but it is easy to take precautions at dusk on a suspiciously cool evening. Cover the flowers you want to protect with long strips of cheesecloth, or with empty dry goods boxes, or even newspapers. Or you can turn the hose on a flower bed, using a fine spray and soaking every plant until it drips. Frost always comes on cloudless nights and usually after a sunny day that has followed a cold rainstorm. One hour's work on a critical night may save a garden full of gay flowers for two or three weeks, when those of your neighbors will be laid waste. Every garden ought to have a hedge of arbovitae or hemlock on the side from which the prevailing winter wind comes, which is usually the northwest. When such a hedge gets six or eight feet high it may make an appreciable saving in the coal bill, and it is morally certain that you can have earlier vegetables and flowers than your neighbors, because you can work the ground and sow the seeds a month earlier than on a bare wind-swept plot. You can get fifty young hemlocks, eight to fifteen inches high, for about $7.50, and they should be planted a foot and a half or two feet apart. While you are at it, you might as well order a few more young evergreens, in order to hide the outbuildings in your back yard. Every unsightly object that cannot be moved should be screened by lattice work, or evergreens. If you want a flowering hedge, or any flowering shrubs and vines, such as lilac, weigela, mock orange, hydrangea, honey suckle and the big purple-flowered clematis, for the porch, you can plant them any time in October. If the vines die back to the ground in the winter, it is no matter, as they will come up with renewed vigor from the root next spring. Have you ever planted sweet peas in the autumn? Do so this fall and you may have the first blossoms in town. It is not always an advantage, however. Some seasons you will gain nothing at all. But this year a gentleman in Cincinnati got sweet peas on May 4! Think of it—nearly two months earlier than most people. Are you willing to risk a nickel this fall on the chance? There are other flower seeds that can be sown in the fall to advantage. The great trouble with annuals, such as bachelors' buttons, marigolds, morning glories, etc., on which most people put their main reliance, is that we do not plant them until late April and May and they do not bloom until a month or two after that, so that most gardens, at the very time when life and color would be appreciated the most in the garden, are an expanse of bare dirt, punctuated at wide intervals by tender snouts of growing things, only an inch or two high. There are three ways in which you can fill your garden with life and color in March and April, when most of your neighbors' gardens will be all promise and no reality. One is to plant bulbs this fall. Another is to plant hardy perennial flowers, such as the Spanish, English and Siberian iris. These are the good old standard ways, and the third way is to sow seeds of a few early blooming flowers this very autumn. I would not advise a beginner to spend much money on this last scheme, but if you can get seeds for the gathering from your own garden, Much Cause for Thankfulness. They were talking about the failure of the Subway tavern. "Well," said a lawyer, "Bishop Potter would never have entered into this movement if he had not known of many similar movements that are succeeding splendidly in England. Bishop Potter is a well informed, a highly educated man. "Speaking of his education," he went on, "I am reminded of a convention where I once heard him make an address. He spoke in favor of education, and a self made millionaire took exception to certain things he said. The millionaire declared that he had never gone to college and he thanked heaven or it. "The bishop arose instantly. "Am I to understand," he said, 'that the gentleman thanks heaven for his ignorance?" "Why, yes," replied the millionaire. "You can put it that way if you've a mind to." "Then,' retorted Bishop Fotter, 'all I have to say is that the gentleman has a great deal to thank heaven for." or your neighbor's, you would find it an experiment to make this fall. You will have a better chance with large seeds than small ones, especially if you soak them for twenty-four hours. If you sow the seeds late in the fall they will lie dormant all winter, but even then they may start enough earlier in spring to gain a week or so in blossoming. But the best plan is to sow them early enough in the autumn, so that they will sprout and grow two or three inches high—high enough to survive the winter, when covered five or six inches with loose strawy litter, something that will protect the roots from deep freezing, without smothering the tops. For example, if you want to carpet the ground in your flower border next April with white flowers, instead of having nothing but dirt to look at, get a five-cent package of alysum, or if you do not like that, then try the rock cress, Arabis albida. Alysum is a wonderful little plant for hiding the ground beneath flowering shrubs, because it will "self-sow," and I have seen thousands of these little self-planted seedlings which have come safely through the winter without any covering, although they were barely an inch high when Jack Frost came in earnest. Of course, the surest and pleasantest way to raise a big stock of perennials is to have a cold frame. You can buy one ready made for about five dollars, locally, or from the seedsmans and the makers of greenhouses. Then you can be sure of having the very best foxgloves and larkspur, to say nothing of pansies and polyanthus. And now is the time to make or buy one. The cheapest and easiest way to get red flowers in August is to divide a big clump of the splendid bee balm, or Oswego tea (Monarda didyma). This is a sort of mint and multiplies almost as fast as the edible kind. I have a clump in my garden now which I can dig up and separate with my fingers into material to make a continuous flame of red color twelve feet long and four feet wide. Don't be afraid to jam a spade right down into the heart of any big clump of flowers in your hardy border, provided it is naturally a vigorous growing species. Phlox ought to be cut up and replanted every second year, and indeed nearly everything in the border will do better if divided every two or three years, although precious few people seem to know it. Last November I divided a lot of plants, and not one of them winter-killed. But you dare not take this risk with small choice things in October, and in any case you ought to cover newly set plants with litter, to protect them from alternate freezing and thawing as well as from deep freezing. Now is the time to take up geraniums and other tender plants before frost spoils them. If you have any plant in the garden which is loaded with flowers which the frost will spoil, such as a marguerite, dig it up carefully with a big ball of roots; put it in a large pot, cut back the top, water it thoroughly, shade it for several days to prevent wilting and you will have a beautiful house plant in October and November. Don't leave on too many flowers, or you will fail. It is better to sacrifice a lot now for the sake of having plenty of flowers when the wind bowls outside and the snow is furrying. All lilies ought to be planted in the autumn—not in the spring. The marshmallow, which glorifies August with its pink flowers, four and five inches across, will thrive in garden soil as well as in the marsh, and you can buy it from any nurseryman. Now is a good time to get it from the wild. Save your own flower seeds and exchange with friends. Collect the seeds of the best wildflowers, instead of robbing the woods and the public. You can carry in your pocket a few envelopes; seal these; but cut one in two; put in your seeds; label them and then fold over the cut end three times—each time about a quarter of an inch. Then fold back the corners and you have a seed packet which will "stay put," and which you can open at any time and close again without fuss or spilling—Wilhelm Miller, Editor "the Garden Magazine," in Chicago Inter Ocean.

TARIFF REFORMER DUALTARIFF ULTRA - PROTECTIVE THE DINGLEY LAW AND RECIPROCITY CONCESSIONS. Fact Bearing Upon the Question Whether the Tariff Schedules Were Made Needlessly High in Order to Provide for Trade Negotiations. Notwithstanding many denials that should be considered authoritative and conclusive the statement is frequently made that the schedules of the Dingley tariff were made ultra-protective or the express purpose of establishing a basis for reciprocity concessions. Republican tariff disturbers justify themselves by this assertion. It is practically their only justification for joining in the clamor set up by free traders with the deliberate design of undermining and demolishing the entire structure of protection. There is no proof in support of the claim that the framers of the Dingley law juggled with the schedules in anticipation of tariff revision and tariff uncertainty under the mask of reciprocity. Quite the contrary. A single fact suffices to overturn this claim: The Dingley law, as framed by the House Committee on Ways and Means as reported to the House, and as passed by the House, embodied no provision for reciprocity concessions beyond that contained in Section 3, which provided: "That for the purpose of equalizing the trade of the United States with foreign countries, and their colonies producing and exporting to this country, (on) the following articles: Argols; or crude tartar, or wine lees, crude; brandies, or other spirits manufactured or distilled from grain or other materials; champagne and all other sparkling wines; still wines, and vermuth; paintings and statuary; . . . The President shall be, and he is hereby authorized and empowered to suspend . . . the duties." Then follows the reduced rates on the articles named, and upon no other articles. Section 4. authorizing for the limited period of two years the conclusion of reciprocity treaties embracing Tariff concessions on the entire list of dattable articles, was added to the Dingley bill in the Senate, and the bill as amended was passed by the House. The fact of the limitation of two years—barely time enough, as events proved, to open up, much less complete, any general scheme of reciprocity—does not bear out the contention that the schedules were intentionally made more than adequately protective for the purpose of granting reductions later on. Reciprocity could not be brought about by any such manipulation. If, for example, a rate had been made 20 per cent higher than was required for adequate protection, the taking off of that 20 per cent would still leave a net rate that was adequately protective, would still leave the domestic producer in control of the domestic market, would still bar out the foreign competitor. That would be bogus reciprocity, fake reciprocity, gold brick reciprocity. The foreigner would spurn it, would have none of it. It is not to be supposed that the Congress which framed and passed the Dingley tariff law deliberately tinkered the rates so as to work a bunco game upon foreign nations. The Fifty-fifth Congress was not engaged in that sort of green goods operation. It was seriously engaged in the business of enacting a tariff law that should undo the fearful misfortune of the Wilson Gorman law of 1894. It was bent upon reviving our industries, upon employing our idle labor, upon restoring prosperity. That was what the Fifty-fifth Congress undertook to do, and that was what it did do when it passed the Dingley tariff law. The two years' limitation of reciprocity operations provided for in Section 4 showed plainly that Congress regarded reciprocity in competitive products with distrust, but was persuaded to try the experiment for two years. Only two years! If the Dingley rates had been marked up for reciprocity purposes, why was the period of experimentation limited to two years? Why was it limited at all? The answer is plain: Congress was so doubtful as to the expediency of authorizing any interference whatever with the Dingley tariff rates, beyond that provided for in Section 3. that it prescribed the short period of two years from July 24, 1897, as the limit of possible alterations of the Dingley schedules. To make sure that even during the brief space of two years no reciprocity treaty could be entered into that would undo the work for good that was expected of the Dingley tariff, Section 4 was so framed as to specifically require that after ratification by the Senate all reciprocity treaties must be "approved by Congress." Nothing could more conclusively demonstrate the fact that reciprocity in competitive products was regarded with doubt and distrust. As to the assertion that the Dingley rates were marked up preparatory to reciprocity concessions, there have been two distinct denials that ought to forever settle that question in the negative. In the Senate something over two years ago, Mr. Aldrich, chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, rose in his place and specifically contradicted Senator Dolliver's statement to that effect. Senator Aldrich declared, in substance, that the Dingley schedules were framed for protection only and not with any view to reciprocity concessions. A similar denial was made by Edward N. Dingley, editor of the Kalamazoo Telegraph, over his own signature. In that denial Mr. Dingley stated that his father, the author of the Dingley tariff bill of 1897, was opposed to reciprocity in competitive products, and that in framing the law which bears his name he made no provision for such reciprocity beyond the small number of tariff concessions provided for in Section 3. The weight of logic, of common sense and direct proof is against the assertion that the Dingley tariff rates were jugged with in order that reciprocity in competitive products might be made easy. The Dingley law was intended to guarantee fair and equal protection. It was not devised as an instrument of unfair discrimination that should cripple many industries in order that a favored few might profit thereby. How to Tell the Difference The St. Paul Dispatch pleads for an authoritative definition that will enable it to determine what is Republicanism and what is Democracy. It is a reasonable request. We know of no newspaper more in need of being set right in the matter of correct differentiation between the two parties than is the St. Paul Dispatch. Perhaps we can assist that wildly wobbling journal in ascertaining where it is at. Suppose you try reading over the Republican and Democratic platforms of 1904. In the Republican platform you will learn that protection is "a cardinal principle." In the Democratic platform you will discover that "protection is robbery." It would seem as though this might help our wandering friend to tell the differ- Sick and Sore Whew! but the Des Moines Register and Leader is sore over that reed procty convention, and has the hardihood to rost the Committee on Resolutions for its "lack of sagacity." The Register's chief complaint is over the dual tariff proposition, which is not free trade enough to suit it, but insults as Iowa's Governor was instrumental in securing indorsement of that policy, which is the Shaw policy, his supporters ought not to kick. The Register will be accused of lese majeste if it malattains its critical tone much longer.—Manchester (lowa) Press. Wanted His Money's Worth. A southern congressman tells a story of an old negro in Alabama who, in his bargaining, is always afraid that he may get "the worst of it." On one occasion, it appears, this aged darkey went after a calf that he had pastured all summer, and asked what he owned for the pasturing: "I have a bill of $10 against you," said the farmer who had undertaken the care of the animal, "but, if you are willing, I'll take the calf and call it settled." "No sah!" promptly exclaimed the negro, "I'll do nothing like dat. But," he adder, after a pause. "I'll tell you what I will do—you keep the calf two weeks longer and you can have it."—Harrer's Weekly.

WOMEN'S NEGLECT Health Thus Lost Is Restored by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. How many women do you know who are perfectly well and strong? We hear every day the same story over and over again. "I do not feel well; I am so tired all the time!" Miss Kate McDonald More than likely you speak the same words yourself, and no doubt you feel far from well. The cause may be easily traced to some derangement of the female organs which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything, backache, bearing-down pains, flatulence, nervousness, sleeplessness, leucorrhea. These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and unless heeded a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result. The never-failing remedy for all these symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Miss Kate McDonald, of Woodbridge, N J., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I think that a woman naturally dislikes to make her troubles known to the public, but restored health has meant much to me that I can help from telling me the sake of other women," she writes. "For a long time I suffered untold agony with a uterine trouble and irregularities, which made me a physical wreck, and no one thought I would recover, by Lydia E.

Grant at Allen chapel last Sunday preached a very able sermon. ‘The people in general throughout the West is sufficiently proud of the bishop for the stand which he takes, but we admire him because he is a true man and believes in purity in preaching the gospel.

What train of memories this pink envelope and that subtle fragrance of violet brought to my blase heart! How it recalled the hot years of my youth during which I had grown a rather profuse crop of wild oats. At that time those scented notes, some pink, some blue, some lavender, had formed the bulk of my correspondence and had carried with them the delightful touch of intrigue which a wild youth would naturally crave. But today, why should I receive one—I, a married man? I turned the letter over three or four times, then tore it open and read the following words written in a crumpled handwriting I had never seen before: "Dear Old Tony—Though it may be folly to make such invitation to a married man, I risk it any way. I will be this evening at 10:30 in room No. 16 of the Bon Ton Cafe and will wait for you. "One who loves you. "Z." I was astounded. What could this mean? Who was this mysterious "Z" who could be so hold as to make such rendezvous at the Bon Ton, one of the gayest restaurants of the city! In my younger days I wouldn't have hesitated a second—but now I had a wife, a weak, babysh, clinging creature, whose childish ways were some what tiresome, that's true, but whom I deeply loved. I crushed the note with an impatient gesture, then lit a match and watched it burn, a righteous frown upon my brow. Such fides were not for me. I would not go. By six o'clock I had changed my mind and had persuaded myself that my very life depended upon my going to that rendezvous. For the first time since my marriage I was embarrassed before my wife during the dinner, which I barely tasted. I could only reply in monosyllables to her gay, childish prattle. When dinner was over, and as the maid removed the diets, she came and sat on the arm of my chair and with her fingers tried to crase the frown which my conflicting thoughts had caused to gather on my brow. "Is my darling worried about something?" she asked, as her blonde head nestled on my shoulder. "Yes, sweetheart." I replied, thankful that her eyes were lower and she could not see my face. "I am more than worried, for I am deeply disappointed. I had planned to spend the evening with you, as usual, but a business appointment with a man from out of town will call me back to the office this evening and it may be midnight—maybe later—before I can get home. With her eyes still averted from mine, but with a little quiver of the body, like a child about to sob, she said in disappointed tones: "You surely are not going out again to night. Can't that horrid business wait until to-morrow. A married man should stay home with his wife." That last sentence sounded as a reproof to my already alarmed conscience, but I again forced it to silence by assuring myself that my sole J. H. H. "Why should I receive one?" reason for going was to protect this tender, clinging girl from some brutal revelation of my past wayward life. "Yes, yes, I know." I hurried to reply, "but it is for your sake, little one, that I must go." "For my sake?" she questioned with pouting lips, but still without looking up. "Yes, for your sake, dearest. Is it not for you I work, to give you all these fine clothes in which your soul delights, this home which is the envy of other women, this——" She threw her arms around my neck, and sealing my lips with a kiss, cried in a nervous, half-sobbing, half-laughing voice: "Oh, I know that all women of our set envy me, I have everything I want but, oh Tony what I care for the most, what would kill me to lose or share with another, is your love I could not live if I thought that you could even think of another." That old nuisance of a conscience again raised a reproaching voice and I was about to say that business could wait and that I would not return to the office, when a vision of that pink, violet-scented note passed before my mind's eye and my good CORRER I pulled back the hood, and then started back with a cry, resolution came to naught. I must know the author of that letter. I bowed to my wife passionate protestations of love, I soothed her half-hysterical emotion, then getting into my overcourt, I made my escape. Instead of taking the car, I decided to walk down town. It was yet two hours to the appointed time and I wanted to collect my thoughts. I did not feel at my ease, I knew I was doing wrong, yet I felt powerless to resist, and I walked and bit discontentedly at my cigar. When I reached the business part of the city it was still too early so I amused myself by walking past the lighted stores and watching the crowd which passed and repassed in never ceasing flow. So keen was my preoccupation that I forgot myself in the maze of my thoughts and only returned to reality when my eyes encountered the white dial of a street clock, and I saw that this indicated twenty-eight minutes past ten. I reached the Bon Ton café just as the clock struck the half nour. As the flunkey showed me up to room 16 he winked in a knowing way and said: "Deuced pretty woman, but so nervous and timid. Hasn't been a rounder long." More anxious than ever I followed my guide. Before No. 16 he paused, saying: "She's in there, waiting for you." "Has supper been ordered?" I asked. "No, sir. Shall we send up something, 'sauterine' and oysters, fo' instance, followed by——" "Yes, perhaps." I interrupted, hastily. "But wait until I order, I will ring if we want anything." He bowed and left me. All this was so familiar and yet so strange, that my head was in a whirl. "Time to retreat," kept saying the still, small voice of duty, but I had gone too far, I must know all. I knocked. A sweet voice called to enter. I opened the door and stepped in. At the farther end of the room, a woman sat, huddled in a chair, a dainty white and pink opera wrap covered her shoulders, the hood of which concealed both her hair and face. I hesitated, my heart thumped disorderly against my bosom. At last, oppressed by the mysterious silence, I walked resolutely toward the woman who had not stirred since I had entered. "Well, I'm here," I said in tones I tried to make stern. "Will you kindly tell me the meaning of your note. Who are you, anyway?" With a quick movement I pulled back the hood, then started back with a cry, the mysterious woman was—my wife! A peal of hysterical laughter greeted my discomfiture, then Metta's voice said: "So this is the business, this is the way you love your wife, this—oh, my heart is broken!" And before I had time to recover from my astonishment, she had dropped back on her chair, her bosom convulsed with wild, passionate sobbing, In an instant, my resolution was taken. My future happiness depended on my regaining Metta's confidence, half of her love depended on the blind trust she had placed in me. I was on my knees before her in a minute and was saying in tones I tried to make stern and commanding: "See here, Metta, don't be a fool. Do you think I would have come if I had not recognized your handwriting. Poor little girl, you did try to disguise it, but such things don't work with eyes sharpened by love. I knew that you had written the note but the idea struck me as novel, this mysterious meeting in a down town cafe with my own wife. So I let you come." Well, if sometimes Metta's childish, trusting mediocrity of intellect has fatigued me, I blessed it that night. since thanks to it, she credited my words and saved me from a very awkward position. Only I can assure you that I have sworn off answering pink notes or violet scented ones. STRIKING FACTS ABOUT SLEE? One of the Most Mysterious of the Ways of Nature. "Shakespeare," said a scientist, "called sleep the ape of death. That is a striking name for a striking thing. Sleep is a wonderland. Let us explore it. "Self-hypnotism is a mysterious force that we can exercise on ourselves in sleep alone. We are all self-hypnotists. We a", on certain nights, tell ourselves firmly that we must not oversleep, that the next morning—at 4, at 5 or 6 precisely we must wake up. Our sleeping selves respond to the hypnotic suggestion made the night before by our waking selves. That is mysterious and striking, isn't it? Still more mysterious and striking, though, is the fact of our keeping track of the time somehow in our slumber. How on earth do we do that? "It is impossible to do without sleep. Men have slept standing, even running. They have slept in battle, under fire, with guns roaring on all sides. They have slept in unendurable and deadly pain. "There is no torture equal to that which the deprivation of sleep entails. The Chinese are the cruelest folks on earth, and the most ingenious of torturers. Well, the Chinese place the deprivation of sleep at the head of their torture list. "Sleep is a state of rest. The heart rests in sleep. The heart is a rhythmic muscle, not one that never reposes, but one that works at short shifts, like a puddler, a moment on, a moment off. Well, when we sleep, the heart's shifts of rest are redoubled. It works then, one on, two off, getting, indeed, pretty nearly as much repose as we do." "The brain in sleep becomes pale and sinks below the level of the skull. When we are awake the brain is high and full and ruddy. "Not only the brain and heart, but even the ear glands rest in sleep. That is why when we awake we all ways rub our eyes. The rubbing is an instinctive action that stimulates the stagnant tear glands and causes them to moisten properly our eyes all dried from their inaction." Wanted to Be in Time "I would like to look at some household goods," said the tall brunette as she entered the big furniture store, "You see, I expect to be married soon." "Ah, indeed," smiled the polite clerk, "just step this way. We have special inducements for young couples just starting in housekeeping. When is the glad event to come off?" "Well—er—the day hasn't been set as yet." "Oh, I see; the lucky young man has just proposed and—" "No, he hasn't proposed yet, but—" "Ah, he is going to propose. How long has he been calling?" "Well, he hasn't started calling yet, but—" "What is the young man's name?" "Really, I don't know at present, but mamma says she thinks some nice young man will start calling soon, so I wanted to be in time." Musings at Night. Plenty of Bait. "Dear me," pouted the young wife, who was wedded to a disciple of Izaak Walton. "I don't see why a man can't go fishing without carrying a horrid bottle." "My husband never carries a bottle," confided the matron next door. "How nice of him." "No, he carries a demijohn. But my grandfather was a great fisherman. He never carried either a bottle or a demijohn." "Noble man. He must have been splendid." "Yes, he always carried a keg." THE BUMPER WHEAT CROP OP CANADA. 100,000,000 Bushels of Wheat from 4,000,000 Acres of Land. In order to secure the attention of the reader to any special article that is brought before the public, it is often the custom to lead the reader on by the introduction of an interesting story until by one bold jump, he is introduced to the subject that it is desired shall be brought to his notice. This is not fair to the reader, and it is not the intention to do that in this article. It will discuss in the briefest way "Western Canada" and its possibilities for settlement. For the past six or seven years the Government of the Dominion of Canada has talked of the resources of Western Canada to the readers of this and thousands of other papers throughout the United States. The quality of the soil was spoken of, the large area of fertile lands was discussed the possibilities of the country as a grain-growing district were talked of, and the story of the success of farmers from the United States was told. The story is not yet an old one. The two hundred thousand from the United States, who have made Western Canada their home, who have taken advantage of the 160 acres of land that the Government gives free to actual settlers are telling the story to-day to their friends. They have proven the statements made through these columns and by the Government Agents. They have produced from their lands, twenty, thirty, forty and more bushels of wheat to the acre, and netted profits ranging from three to ten and more dollars on every acre tilled. They have found the climate fully as good as they were told it would be, schools were convenient and easily organized, railways were not far distant, and markets close at hand. The social conditions were such as they chose to make them, and law and order were observed. Many of them bought land, because it was low-priced and good, and hundreds of cases could be cited where the purchase price of the land was paid out of the first crop. The writer knows of cases this year where the farmer, as a result of the yield on his farm, was put in a position that would enable him to increase his holdings three extra acres for every acre cropped and pay cash for it. Is it any wonder that one grows enthusiastic when speaking about Western Canada. But what may be said of this year. We are now in a position to speak regarding it. The conditions throughout Manitoba and the new provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan have been remarkably favorable. Had conditions been no better than in past years there would have been every cause for congratulation. We find though all previous records broken, and that from a four million acre crop of wheat there will be one hundred million bushels of a yield—or 25 bushels to the acre. Could anything better be desired? Covering the entire country the same splendid reports are being received. The following dispatch was sent by Mr. F. W. Thompson, Vice President of the Ogilvie Milling Co., one of the most careful grain men in America: "Have just returned from covering several hundred miles of the crop district. I never saw anything like it in this country before. The average yield and quality far exceeds our earlier expectations. It is an immense crop. The weather is extremely favorable." Up to three weeks ago it was Mr. Thompson's opinion that the crop would not reach general expectations. "F W. Thompson sends another telegram from Winnipeg to night, saying that his estimate of the wheat crop is now one hundred millions bushels. Before he went west he thought it would fall considerably short of that figure." The moral of this story is that there should be no hesitation in making a decision if you wish to better your condition; or if you have a family of boys that you wish to become settled on farms, it is a safe proposition to call upon the nearest authorized Canadian Government Agent, and get particulars as to most suitable districts and railway rates.

Sir John recommended as a brief and appropriate epigraph "Glassgow to Nelson." "Just so," said one of the ballies, "and as the toon o' Nelson's (Neliston) close at hand, might we no' just say 'Glassgow to Nelson, six miles,' and so it might serve as a monument and milestone too."

"Well, Miss White, I want to ask you a question, a very important question, what I ain't had courage to ask you before. I want to ask you if you'll marry me?" "Marry you? Cose I'll marry you!

Overzealous Reformers Work for Law Against Proprietary Medicines. "Schemes to diminish or destroy the sale of proprietary medicines are constantly being devised by interested parties. Every now and then some zealous reformer comes to the front with the demand for a law to require every package of proprietary medicine to be labeled with a printed statement of the 'formula,' showing just how it is manufactured. The millions of people who use proprietary medicines seem to be satisfied; but the man with a mania for regulating the affairs of other people or who has some personal interest to serve is the one who agitates the proposition. To a person who has never taken time to consider it, such a proposition may seem reasonable enough; yet it is in fact nothing more nor less than a scheme to compel the manufacturers to put their trade throughout the entire country at the mercy of every commercial pirate who might choose to flood the market with imitations of their goods. "Under such conditions the incentive for the original manufacturer to advertise his goods would be practically destroyed, for the money spent on advertising would inure mainly to the benefit of the pirates and imitators. Without advertising, the public would receive little information in regard to the medicine, and all future sales would be greatly impaired if not wholly destroyed. It is mainly by judicious advertising that the knowledge of proprietary medicines is brought to the public. Nothing is more certain than that millions of people have found relief at a comparatively small expense by the use of some remedy first called to their notice through newspaper advertising. Why, then, should the manufacturer of a meritorious proprietary remedy be compelled by law to practically destroy his business as a condition of being allowed to carry it on? Yet that, is exactly what these formula bills mean—Exchange. PHILADELPHIA LEDGER MAN. "Here!" cried the hortified citizen, "why are you dragging that poor fellow along that way.

They are also not above stealing partridge eggs, and are therefore not much loved by sportsmen. There is no Rochelle Salts, Alum, Lime or Ammonia in food made with Calumet Baking Powder NOT IN THE BAKING POWDER TRUST It makes pure food. HABIT IN APPETITE. Habit Said to be at Bottom of all the Trouble. The so-called cravings of appetite are purely the result of habit. A habit once acquired and persistently followed soon has us in its grasp, and then any deviation therefrom temporarily disturbs our physiological equilibrium. The system makes complaint and we experience a craving it may be, for that to which the body has become accustomed, even though this something be, in the long run, distinctly injurious to the welfare of the body. There has thus come about a sentiment that the cravings of the appetite for food are to be fully satisfied, that this is merely obedience to nature's laws. This idea, however, is fundamentally wrong. Any one with a little persistence can change his or her habits of life, change the whole order of cravings, thus demonstrating that the latter are purely artificial, and that they have no necessary connection with the welfare or needs of the body. In other words, diatic requirements are to be founded not upon so-called instinct and craving, but upon reason and intelligence.—Russell H. Chittenden's "Economy in Food" in the Century. Advancing the Farmers' Interests. Traveling agents and salesmen are now sent from the home offices of the Chicago packers into all South American and Asiatic countries. They are going into every land, no matter what language may be spoken or what money be used. They will exchange their goods for cowries or elephant tusks—anything to sell the product and get something in return convertible into money. It may seem odd to some folks, but traveling men, carrying cases with samples of American meat products, can be seen in the desert of Sahara, the sands of Zanzibar or in Brazil, "where the nuts come from." Great is the enterprise of the Yankee merchant. The greater the market, the greater the price and stability of the price of the product and all that goes to make it in its various stages. The eminent explorer stood at last at the north pole. Instead of indulging in sentimental radioshods he took a notebook and pencil from his pocket and began jotting down certain memoranda.

Mr. Rudyard Kipling relates the following amusing story against himself.

Chicago, Oct. 10.—The Peruna Drug Manufacturing Company, manufactur- ers of a widely known proprietary med icine, has brought suit in the Superior Court of the City of Chicago against the Curtis Publishing Company of Phil- adclphia, alleging that it has been damaged to the extent of $250,000 by a recent article in the Ladies’ Home Journal. ‘The suit is based on a statement re- cently made in that journal that a testimonial as to the merit of the rem edy manufactured by the plaintiff, al leged to have been given by Congress: man George H. White of South Caro- lina, was fraudulent, denial from Mr. White that he ever gave such a testi monial also being printed The Peruna company declares that Congressman White did give the testi: monial in good faith. and that it has two original letters from Mr. White. It declares that Mr. White was led to repudiate the testimonial through a misunderstanding. ‘This is the second large damage sult that has been filed against the Curtis Publishing company since tt inaugur- ated its attacks on “Patent Medicines.” REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

The fox is a wise beast in all things, wise enough to rent the turrow 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 H. Evarts was a young man he defended in court a man named Edwards, who was charged with forgery. The trial was an interrogation and Mr. Evarts by brilliant work scanned his client's acquittal. He had a strong belief that the man was innocent until the trial was all over. Thus he changed his opinion. Edwards paid Mr. Evarts his fee with a forged check. b 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 tricolored pot, which may seem to mean that the host is kind and his friends 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 lessons the fat percentage, and for older people or fat children the skim milk is equally desirable, in some cases better. In eating apples the skin, too, should be eaten. Pared apples are not so nutritious, as the ash contents of the apple skin are valuable to the human system. Recular Order to Trainmen. The following notice was observed posted in the engine dispatcher's office at the roundhouse in a neighboring town on one of the railroad lines running out of Albany: "Trainmen on passenger trains must not go through the coaches with overcars on, without first taking them off." Albany Journal. Victims of Official Pleasure. The viceroy of the Two Kuang provinces, China, recently put out a proclamation that no pawnshop was to take arms in pawn. Being later blissed 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. Poets and Irresponsibility. Poets are wayward creatures, largely irresponsible for their actions, or at all events, provided with such a curiously sensitive and infirmnable 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. Returning to his house at Argenteuil, in France, Mr. Hugh Gooding 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.—Mr. Asquith. Don't Forget That— Self pity is one of the states that interferes most effectually with making the right use of circumstances. To pity one's self is destruction to all possible freedom—Exchange.

"They say worth makes the man," philosophized Uncle Allen Sparks, "but nowadays he has to be worth a million to be much of a man." The Modern Way. The ladder of fame he scorned to climb, He knew of something greater. For he was a youth of the modern time And took the elevator. —Philadelphia Ledger. Lightning Rod Revival. There is a revival of interest in Lightning rods in France. Wanted His Money's Worth. A southern congressman tells a story of an old negro in Alabama who, in his bargaining, is always afraid that he may get "the worst of it." On one occasion, it appears, this aged darky went after a calf that he had pastured all summer, and asked what he owned for the pasturing: "I have a bill of $10 against you," said the farmer who had undertaken the care of the animal, "but, if you are willing, I'll take the calf and call it settled." "No sah!" promptly exclaimed the negro, "Til do nothing like dat. But," he adder, after a pause. "I'll tell you what I will do—you keep the calf two weeks longer and you can have it."—Harper's Weekly. Theatrical News. The new Hamlet looked toward the gallery as a half dozen eggs struck the stage and exploded. So saying, he went out and told the grave diggers, who suspected Poor Yorrick. One Onaha woman loves her husband so much that she will even permit him to read his newspaper without interrupting him. FLOUR Kelley's Best Beats all the Rest. Kelley Milling Co.
