I bet she was the first looking body in the room." "Indeed she was, (but she made another kind of a hit. They were throwing bean bags at a dummy, three throws for a dime, for the benefit of the hospital fund." "Hit the dummy three times?" "Oh, no, with the first bag she hit a tray of dishes on the opposite side of the room. Cost me $4. Great hit."—Kansas City Drovers Telegram Bad Accident. "Had bad luck with my automobile last night. Ran into a buggy and bent both of my axles, punctured a tire and busted the gasoline tank. Terrible expensive!" "Too bad, too bad! Anybody hurt?" "Nope, no one but the man and his wife in the buggy. They were killed. Couldn't get out of the way in time, you know." Did you ever have as good a time on your vacation as you anticipated? NOTICE!

The Color Line: If. as is now claimed by an eastern individual, St. Peter is or was a colored man, the "white trash" will have a hard time getting past him, while the mere fact that "celled pusson" purloined a nice juicy hen while living in Denver will not be considered so serious as to bar him from the New Jerusalem.—Denver News. Arranging His Toilet The king of gamblers sat alone With a mirror in his hand; One of his Fridays come along One of his Fridays came along And took his watchful stand. "Why this mirror, O my king?" Thus did the Friday prate. "That I might see," the king replied, "If my lid is still on straight."—A. U. Mayfield, Denver News. Warping the Scripture: A sympathetic friend stood over the little casket. He wanted to say something that might console the mourning ones. He could think of nothing more befitting than a passage from holy writ, but this is the way he delivered it: "Blessed are they that die at the eleventh hour." He Might as Well Go Back. If Hall Caine has come into the land of plenty with a view of taking his "Prodigial Son" home with him, he might just as well go back. Since the lad has been circulating in America he rather likes the taste of husks and will stay with us.—Denver News. Taking No Risks "I need more money," said the flying-machine inventor. "But I thought the machine was finished," replied the capitalist. "It is, but I've got to hire a man to fly it. Do you think I want to get killed?"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. When All Others Fail Dispatches tell us that but for a heavy rain which set in just as the fire department had exhausted all its energy, Butte, Mont., would have been completely wiped from the map. Another evidence of the necessity of being in touch with providence. The Right Idea Miss Alice Roosevelt, who will send a sewing machine to the empress of Japan, has the right idea of spreading civilization in the Orient. She evidently believes there is more to be gained in sewing machines than sowing missionaries. The Morning After Boston preacher has the audacity to say that "Colorado, like hell, needs more water." My, what a thirst he must have had the morning after he made the rounds of Denver.—Denver News. A VISION OF THE FUTURE. Four envoys in a navy yard With solemn care debated, And meanwhile on a distant field The warring forces waited. One word, and each opposing brave Would fall upon his brother; One word, and battle's lust for blood Would love and pity smother. The cannon boomed, the bells rang peace, And loud was the rejoicing. While gray-haired parents laughed and wept, Their happy feelings voicing. Thus precious lives, the flower of youth, Were saved a thankful nation, The Yalevard-Princerah foot ball game Was played by arbitration. —New York Sun The Clerk Whistled. A Scotch minister instructed his clerk, who sat among the congregation during service, to give a low whistle if anything in her sermon appeared to be exaggerated. On hearing the minister say: "In those days there were snakes fifty feet long," the clerk gave a subdued whistle. "I should have said thirty feet." added the minister. Another whistle from the clerk. On consulting Thompson's Concordance," said the minister. "I see the length is twenty feet." Still another whistle; whereupon the preached learned over and said in a stage whisper: "Ye can whistle as much as ye like MasPherson, but I'll no take another foot off for anybody!" In Crimean Times In Crimean times (says the "Tattler") the Highland regiments were so full of Hiberians that many stories were current exploiting the fact. One gallant Scottish colonel, it was said, resolved to take the sense of the regiment on the vital question of adopting the plaid as an essential part of the uniform. When the orderly came to report the result, the colonel was scandalized to find that only two of his men favored the suggestion, "And who are there two gallant Highlanders?" he asked. "Ooch!" replied the orderly, "sure it's Corporal O'Brien an' Private O'Callaghan, sorr!" Bulk From the West. The bulk of the commercial honey crop comes from the West and Southwest, and this year the supply is likely to be short. From Colorado Utah and Nevada the yield is reported to be poor to fair. California has a moderate crop, and other producing States only a fair crop. Producers are holding their stock at an advance over last year's prices, the advance amounting to about two cents per pound. How Schiffless. Jacob H. Schiff, head of the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. of New York, says he was powerless to ward off the things Equitable Hyde did to him and his company. How Schiffless of Mr. Schiff and how Hydeous of Mr. Hyde. Denver News. Ask 'Em. "Should the Schoolma'ams Marry?" is the question that is being freely discussed by some of the crusty old bachelor editorial writers of the papers just now. If these fellows really want to know why don't they put on a clean collar and go and ask the schoolma'am about it?—Denver News. Oh. Joy! Colonel Demming, a geologist of Pennsylvania, has discovered in Colorado a vast deposit of mineral from which radium is made, and he says the price will now drop from $2,000,000 an ounce to only $1,000,000 an ounce. Now that is more like it. Three million dollars was a little high for most of us—Denved News. Information Wanted "Jane," said the mistress to the new girl, "you must not forget to put the mackerel to soak for breakfast." "All right, mum," replied Jane. "What pawnbroker, kin I soak 'en with, mum?"—Detroit Tribune. 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 alga. 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 1313, 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 Buccleuch. 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 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. Kipling 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.

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. Firemen 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!"

HEN WILSON IN TROUBLE. Iscandal Disturbs Serenity of Inhabitants of Binnville It is rumored on reinieable 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 Aim 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 he 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 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 fol- owed by all the cooking utensils in the kitchen. Mrs. Hooper told it to Ben Wade's wife and Pen 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 — "Bing 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 shows 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 to 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 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 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 Giaour" He who hath bent him over the dead Ere the first day of Death is dead. The first dark day of Nothingness, The first danger of distress. Before danger affording life. Have swept the lines where Beauty ling resist. And swept the mild anguish air. The rapture of Repose that's there. The fixed yet tender treaties that streak the languor of the placid cheek. And but for that sad surrender have That but for that dread now And but for that chill, changeless brow Where cold Obstruction's apathy Appalls the gazing mourner's heart. Appalls the doom he dreads, dwells upon, Yes, but for these, and these alone. Some moments, aye, one treacherous he still might doubt the Tyrant's power. So fair, so calm, so softly scaled. The first, last look by death revealed! Such is the aspect of this shore. The Greece but Rising Greece no more! No coldly sweet, so deadly fair. We start, for Soul seems wanting there Hers is the loveliness in death. That parts not quite with norting breath: That hue with that foetal bloom. That hue which haunts it to the tomb. Expression's last receding ray. A gilded Halo hovering round decay. The farewell beam of Feeding past away! Sparkle of that theme, perchance of heavenly birth. Which gleams, but warms no more its cherished earth. —Lord Byron. NUMBER 25 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 croquet 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. Grimshaw, the talented head of the sewing 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 explaflu why. Men often miss opportunity's knock because they are themselves so busy "knocking."

Weeplet thou over attars dim, Whose those are died? Song thou Faith's sweetest hymn; Be comforted. There in the ashes gray, Faith's dreams are read; Love's lamp will light thy way: Be comforted. Think how Love found no place To lay his head; Rehold His plying face: Be comforted. Do human hearts forsake, In three-paths led? God's hand thy hand shall take: Be comforted. Life, with its wrath and wrong, Soon soon is speed. Dove to be joy and son: Be comforted. - F. L. Starton in Atlanta Constitution The Battle for Self-Conquest Not in his circumstances, not in his habits, not in his hereditary station, but in himself, in a heart ready to give itself up to the worst instead of to the better powers of the world, in a soul that loves baseness, triviality and falseness, there lies the real enemy. Oh, the great strength which comes when that discovery is made! And, feeling that now at last the real battle has begun, the man solemnly, solidly settles himself down to the conquest of himself. The army which has carried by storm one fortification after another, and found that it has only gained possession of an outpost, more or less insignificant, now sits down before the central citadel and the real sage begins. Then comes the true calling up of all the powers. Then comes humility, and by humility self-understanding, and in self-understanding strength. Then comes that earnest cry for God's help which always brings its answer. Then comes the giving of the soul's weakness into the abundant strength of Christ. Then comes the great reality of prayer. All of these, when the man has at last got to the center of his sin, and is at last fighting with himself for his own soul. My friends, do you know the meaning of all this? Are you fighting that battle for self conquest. If you are, you know with what a true exhilaration that which seems such a cruel and unnatural necessity of life may occupy and inspire the soul. Almost with a shout the man exclaims: "I will subdue myself for goodness and for god!" And though to shout is heard, though men beside him do not hear a sound, though the battlefield is in some lushest secret chamber of his most secluded life, though the furthest flowers of his own self content are being torn to pieces by the wrestler's feet, yet still there is—do you know it, many of you? a deep strong, solemn joy as the night draws nearer to the day, and the self with which we fight grows weaker, and the self for which we fight grows freer—a joy deep and strong and solemn with which no other pleasure in human living can compare. And also there grows up a great charity and hope for every other man who is fighting the good fight with his sins—a charity and hope which is alone reward enough for all our pain! May God lead all of us speedily in, through all the outer struggles, to this inmost fight of all! May we begin it now, and never end it till our sin is dead. May the Captain of our salvation be our leader and our strength! May we be full of courage, because the battle which we fight is not our own alone, but God's, and at the last may we be conquerers in Him!-Phillips Brooks. The Ideal Christian Life. To be a Christian, to live the ideal life toward which the Word of God is ever pointing us, is to know God and ever seek to do his will. To accept without murmuring whatever of joy or sorrow He may send us, saving. "Thy will, not mine, be done"; to trust where we cannot understand, believing our Father to be generous and wise and kind, and this even when our experiences hurt us; to be faithful in every service, knowing that He "heareth us"; to keep the heart with all diligence from the sin and selfishness of the world; to endeavor to appreciate the needs of the needy, and, as far as possible, minister to them; to love "even those we cannot like"; and to hate nothing but sin; to our tongue from evil and our lips from speaking guile; to be brave where others are false; to be like Him who, though rich, for our sakes become poor—this is the ideal Christian life. The ideal Christian life, as Jesus himself has outlined it, is the everyday life of him who is poor in spirit and mourns knowing that he shall be comforted; who is meek and hungers and thirsts for righteousness; who is both merciful and pure of heart; who is so much a lover of peace as to make peace; and who, when men revile or persecute him, does not revile or persecute in turn. Men who live such ideal Christian lives as this are the men who are the salt of the earth. A Song in the Night. At death the Christian simply crosses the summit of the earthly life, and lives on a sunnier side, whilst our poor sight stops with the intervening line hills. The immediate Beyond may be an intermediate state of glory, where saints await the resurrection and the general judgment; a life that never extends downward into hidden glades and deep shadows and experiences of pain, but one that suggests rather the plain of Sharon, which, having the troubled set behind it, is continually ascending until it enters the city by the Joppa gate. It is a state in which, whether it be heaven or its suburb, the capacity to know and love and enjoy is ever increasing, receiving all at any stage that it can bear; an Arcadia where the tendrils of severed affection are being continually reknit and beautified, and the joy is too pure to die. Meanwhile, we tardier ones, toiling over this low ground, are enriched and comforted as was Jesus in the desert by the ministry of angels who report our progress on high, and departed loved ones now and then may come near to us—especially in some great emergencies of life—as Moses and Elias came to the lovely mount, and putting their strength beneath our weakness help us on our way. Thus golden ladders are always dropping low down, climbing thence among and above the stars. Then let us rejoice while we wait for the morning, and sing brave songs as the consummation of our hope draws near.—Robert F. Sample, D. D. Faith's Aid to True Living. Faith in God brings an element of dignity, of assurance, of inspiration into life that fills the soul with high and noble aspirations. Doubt, or even lack of faith, throws a damper over the heart's inspirations. Ages of doubt have always been the ages when life has been inexpressibly saddened. Epochs of faith have always been times when people have risen in the scale of living. No man lives on a low plain who has Christian faith—faith in God, in immortality, in the permanency of the good, in the ultimate triumph of right and justice and truth. Such faith determines true living. Put such faith into a man's heart and you develop not only the business in the man, but the man in the business; not only the successful lawyer in the man, but the noble, successful, helpful man in the lawyer; not the active, shrewd politician in the man, but the statesmanlike man in the politician; not the minister in the man, but the man of God in the minister; not the Christian in the man, but the Christ man in the Christian; and then you have always the highest type of true living on earth.—Rev. A. A. Pian stichl. God's Purpose. The purpose of God's warnings is to save. This is the object for which signal systems are erected in danger on places—to save life and property. And to save life, life of the truest kind and the highest order, to save soul life, God in mercy warms men Back of all is love for men and so solicitude for their well being. The warnings of God are all the pleadings of love, saying to poor, weak, sinning man, "Do thyself no harm." His affection and solicitude appear in not leaving men to themselves to suffer the dire consequences of their sins, with out any possible escape from them. In Calvary's cross, God's compassion for lost men reached the maximum of endeavor in behalf of their salvation. God had only to leave men to follow the natural bent of their evil inclinations, and they would have rushed headlong to ruin. But in the infinite benevolence of His nature He could not do this. Hence the interposition of all moral restraints, and the presentation of motives to righteousness or life, the value of which to the individual, to society and to the world cannot be computed. Success Graze Does Good All this revulsion against drinking has, of course, not been due to the desire for success. Nor has the drink evil in this country entirely been stamped out. But the change in the habits of men has been so marked and its cause so directly traceable to this desire for success that we, being an entirely practical nation, must look upon the success craze from more than one angle. Undoubtedly it has made man more mercenary. Probably it has caused much of the graft that stirs the country at present. But also it has taught men to take better care of themselves, the physical and mental health, and the results of this will be reaped not only in this generation, but in the generations that are to come, when the "success bee" will buzz just as mightily, if not mightier, and drinking and other course habits of the body will be even less followed than they are now.—Exchange. Need of Sense of Sin. Mr. Gladstone's sense of reverence was accompanied by a profound sense of sin. Speaking with a friend some time before he died, he said, with grave and deliberate speech, "Ah! The sense of sin—that is the great want of modern life; it is wanting in our sermons, wanting everywhere!" He himself had this sense most profoundly, and be walked continually in fear of the Lord. If this fruitful consciousness is to be recovered, it will have to be by the prior recovery of reverence for the Almighty. The man who would discover his own littleness must lift his eyes up unto the hills. The Necessity of Giving. Giving is essential to the completeness of Christian character. It is the crowning grace because it is the manifestation of the highest excellence. It is the result of sympathy, unselfishness, of contact with Christ, of drinking in his spirit. "Give, for it is the Savior's precept." BLIND GREED OF THE RECIPROCAL REFORMER. GREED RECIPROCAL TARIFF REFORMER FOREIGN PRODUCTS FOREIGN PRODUCTS LOW PRICES HOME INDUSTRY AMERICAN FACTORIES INVITES CONFUSION INVITES CONFUSION NEEDLESS INTERFERENCE WITH THE TARIFE RATES. To Open Up the Question of Revision Would Involve the Reconsideration of All the Schedules and Produce Uncertainty and Uneasiness. Our old friend the Pittsburg Gazette seems to be leaning strongly to the revisionist side of the tariff question. That a newspaper which has been so long engaged in the promulgation of sound Republican doctrines and whose environment is so largely dependent upon the activity of the iron and steel industries, should advocate tariff revision at a time when the country is enjoying unparalleled prosperity, is a little surprising. Tariff revision necessarily means tariff reduction, as there is no thought or purpose on the part of any one of increasing the duties. To open up the question of tariff revision at all would involve the reconsideration of the entire schedule, and would of course create a feeling of uncertainty and uneasiness, if not genuine consternation, among the producing interests of this country. Dull times would necessarily result. It is impossible to point to an occasion in the history of this country when general business depression was not coincident with a lowering of the duties on imports. To be sure, we had the panic of 73, but that was clearly due to a departure from sane and sound business methods. It was the bursting of an over-inflated balloon. It was the result of recklessness and perverted morals. Tariff revision at this time? What for? With all lines of domestic industries flourishing and an export trade such as this or any other country never before enjoyed, what is the complaint? The balance of trade in our favor was $400,000,000 last year. Our workingmen and women are steadily employed at better wages than are paid anywhere else on earth. There is an abundance of money. Energy, intelligence and economy are receiving the highest rewards ever known in the history of this planet. Is it wise to lose the substance in grasping at the shadow? We do not maintain that we have a perfect tariff schedule. Nor will it ever be perfect. But, judged by results, it is the best we ever had. It is time enough to begin doping a patient with nostrums when he complains of being ill. While supplying our domestic trade, which is infinitely the best market on earth, and developing all of our industries to the highest standard of perfection, we are making more progress in capturing foreign markets than any other nation. Confidence in the stability of conditions is the leading factor in business and industrial prosperity. Why then invite confusion, uncertainty and inevitable calamity by advocating tariff revision? The country is all right. Let the tariff alone until there is more obvious need of revision.—Punxsutawney (Pa.) Spirit. Tariff Smashing: Professional reformers may bewalt our "drastic policy of exclusion" and continue to assault the American tariff system, but the American farmer and the American manufacturer can hardly be deceived. He has surely learned by this time that tariff smashing is tariff smashing when conducted under Democratic auspices or by Republicans posing as the evangelists of "reform." Beautiful theories court for little when squarely controverted by established facts—Des Moines Capital. McKinley's Idea If the business interests of the country want reciprocity along protection lines they can have it if they will only agree on some feasible plan—something they never have been able to agree on before. If they want tariff revision, they can have it also on the same united demand for it, but it can be put down as certain that whatever is done in the way of tariff revision or reciprocity will not be done along free trade lines. The reciprocity of Blaine, McKinley and Roosevelt is all right. It is based upon the Republican protective policy. As President McKinley said at Buffalo: "To take from our neighbors such of their products as we can use without harm to our industries or labor; in other words, such of their products as are not produced by our own labor, and obtain in exchange markets for the class of merchandise which we desire to sell, and which the countries in question require for their own use, differs materially from the reciprocity of 1855-1856, which was merely free trade in articles of mutual production, articles which, when imported, compete with the home producer." BLIND GREED OF THE R RECIPROCAL TARIFF REFORMER FOREIGN PRODUCTS To The American Market This was President McKinley's idea of reciprocity, and it is the kind that every Republican can indorse. It was Blaine's policy, and if the Chicago convention will adopt it as a basis for its reciprocity platform nobody can object. It is Republican doctrine, pure and simple. In the language of President Roosevelt at Minneapolis: "As a nation, we stand in the very forefront of the giant international industrial competition of the day. We cannot afford by any freak of policy to forfeit the position to which we have thus triumphantly attained by the present protective policy."—Kewanee (ill.) Star-Courler. CRY FOR FREE RAW MARKETS In Demanding Them Manufacturers Are on Dangerous Ground. The one definite and aggressive note sounded at the Chicago reeprocity convention was the demand for free raw materials. How that carries us back to the Cleveland campaigns. The men who voice the demand are just about twenty years behind Grover Cleveland. They are trying to reverse Garfield's declaration and have the Republican build their camp fires on the ground which the Democrats had abandoned. If these men were old enough when Cleveland was a candidate they either voted for him or should have done so. It is our opinion that if there is a fraud in the category of tariff discussion it is this demand for free raw materials. The manufacturer grasps all the protection he can get, which our thorough belief in protection does not prevent us from recognizing as being sometimes too much, and still holding on to it demands the further advantage of free raw materials. His cry is free hides, free wool, free iron ore, free coal, free everything except that which he produces. There is no such thing as raw material. Wool is the farmer's finished product as truly as cloth is the manufacturer's or the coat the tailor's. For the sake of the general good the American people have been willing to place duties on manufactured products in full recognition of the fact that selfish men often take advantage of them and make unjust profits by reason of the tariff. When the selfishness of the direct beneficiaries of our tariff laws reaches that state of sublimity which causes them to demand that other interests be sacrificed for their benefit they are getting on dangerous ground. When we have free raw materials the products manufactured from them will be free—Creston (la.) Advertiser. A Weakness in Reciprocity: The reciprocity advocates at the Chicago conference are much alarmed over the new German tariff and are demanding that a new reciprocity treaty be negotiated between that country and the United States. Would such a treaty be wise? Senator Culom in his address before the conference questioned its wisdom because of the effect such a treaty would have upon our trade with Great Britain. And Senator Culom is right. Great Britain is a much better customer of ours than is Germany. Moreover Britain admits our goods free of duty. But we place the same tariff upon British goods that we place upon German goods, while Germany, unlike Britain, imposes duties upon our products. How, then, would it be just for us to enter into a special arrangement with Germany by which we would give her merchants concessions in our markets in return for concessions in her markets and at the same time deny these concessions to Britain, which gives us freedom of trade? Even after Germany had made her concessions our goods would not be admitted upon as good terms as they are in Britain. Would there not be reason for Britain to make trouble? This is a serious objection to the reciprocity plan. There can be no more serious objection to any plan than that it will not work. And that is the case with reciprocity.—Milwaukee Journal (Dem.). Reciprocal Trade Results Reciprocal Trade Results. A free trade paper published in New York, which supported the Cuban reciprocity treaty, now advocates what it calls the only really reciprocal trade—namely, the exchange of competing products. It degrades "such a reciprocity arrangement as that secured by the Hawaiian sugar growers, because it injured to the exclusive benefit of that island." When foolish Republicans were pushing for Cuban reciprocity, which has produced the same results, this same journal "sicked" them on. Those who followed its advice have now the pleasure of considering the results which follow accepting suggestions from opponents.—San Francisco Chronicle. RAISED FROM A DEATH-BED.

THIN BLOOD—WEAK NERVES One Follows the Other, but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Quickly Cure Both. The steady use of a particular set of muscles tends to chronic fatigue, which produces faulty or difficult motion, trembling, cramps and even paralysis. Writers, telegraphers, tailors and seamstresses are among the classes most threatened in this way with the loss of their power to earn a living. The following instance shows that nerve power may be recovered after it seems entirely lost, if the right means are taken. Mrs. O. S. Blackstein, of No. 684 North Bowman street, Manfield, Ohio; says: "For years my hands would become so numb at times that I would drop anything I attempted to lift. Later they became so bad that I could not sew any longer, and at last I could scarcely do anything at all with my hands. At night the pricking sensations would come on worse than ever, and my hands and arms would pain so that I dreaded to go to bed. My family doctor gave me some nerve tablets. They helped me a little, but only for a short time after I had taken them and if I happened to be without them for a day or two I would be as bad as ever or even worse. Finally I got a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and began to take them. "The result was surprising. By the time I had taken the last pill in my first box I could see a gain. Thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I am now all right. I can sleep undisturbed by pain, and for two years I have been as well as ever." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills feed the nerves by making new, rich blood and in this way have cured nervous diseases of every description from simple restlessness to paralysis. They have banished the tortures of neuralgia, the weakness of nervous prostration, the disability and awful pain of locomotor ataxia.

New York may be a progressive place, but there is on spot right in the heart of it where grass grows in the street. As a matter of fact, it is not grass, either, but oats. The spot is Madison avenue, in front of the new building of the Madison Square Presbyterian church. A huge pile of sand here extends almost to the middle of the street, and in this sand are dropped every day stray grains of oats from the nose bags of the horses that eat their dinner in front of the new edifice. The grain drops into the sand and in a short time springs up.

A Scotch minister instructed his clerk, who sat among the congregation during service, to give a low whistle if anything in her sermon appeared to be exaggerated.

He had poured forth his soul in passionate sentences which left him weak and trembling as he waited for her reply. Her voice was full of sympathy and kindness as she answered him, but it was firm and there was no trace of passion. "No, Arthur," she said, "it is impossible. I like you very much as a friend and I respect you and admire you, but I do not love you—and I cannot marry you." "Short," he answered with something like enthusiasm. Nellie was so and willowy. "Short, and, soft an clinging." The color faded from Nellie's face. She felt unreasonably hurt and angry at the man and the northern girl. "Was she light or dark?" she asked as though possessed to drink the ver dregs. "Light," he replied with fine enthu ism, gazing into the coals as though he saw her. "Foil and daltais so The color left his face and the lines drew tight about his mouth. "You must, Nellie," he exclaimed fiercely. "I love you so much—you were made for me—I—I cannot give you up." "But I do not love you," she said gently. "And you surely would not want a wife whose heart you did not have." "Yes I would," he rejoined, "I want you on any terms. I will make you love me. I will find a way. Only marry me, that's all." "Now be reasonable, Arthur," she urged. "You have so much sense generally that it is most distressing to see you go on in such a ridiculous manner. You will get over this notion of yours in a little while and will find some other girl just suited for you—and I will be a good friend, a sister to you always." "Oh, Lordy, not that," he broke in making a comical grimace in spite of his distress. "It's too horribly trite and commonplace. Be a niece or an aunt or a grandmother—anything but a sister. It makes me feel like the hero of a short story. The girls to whom they propose always become sisters to them." She blushed a bit and then smiled. "See," she said. "you are joking about it already. You'll forget all about it in a fortnight." "No, not in a fortnight," he replied gravely. "Nor in a lifetime." "Yes, you will," she replied smiling. "You are no judge, yet. Men always think their first love affair very tragic. This is your first affair, is it not? You—you never were in love—that is, thought yourself in love with any other girl, did you?" He shot a quick, sharp glance at her and the sadness in his face was replaced for an instant by an expression of mixed shrewdness and determination well known to his business associates. But this was only a flash and the sadness returned to his face. "Yes, there was another," he replied softly, gazing reminiscently into the fire. She started imperceptibly and looked at him searchingly. His eyes were still on the fire and she bit her lip in exaction at the involuntary feeling she had displayed. "Was—was it long ago?" she asked in a disinterested tone. "You never spoke of her to me." "Yes, it was some years ago—before I came here," he replied. "I never M. C. "She—she must have been very beautiful," whispered Nellie. spoke of it because it is a closed chapter—a sacred chapter, and I never cared to resurrect it." His eyes were still soft and dreamy. "Where was it," she asked as indifferently as possible after some moments of rather awkward silence. "In Michigan," he replied. "Before I came south." Still the dreamy eyes fred on the fire. The girl moved uncomfortably in her chair. She resolved to end the conversation, perceiving her danger, but curiosity or whatnot was too strong. "Was she tal, or short?" she asked. "Short," he answered with something like enthusiasm. Nellie was tall and willowy. "Short, and, soft and clinging." The color faded from Nellie's face. She felt unreasonably hurt and angry at the man and the northern girl. "Was she light or dark?" she asked as though possessed to drink the very dregs. "Light," he replied with fine enthusiasm, gazing into the coals as though he saw her. "Fair and dainty as Dresden china, with hair like liquid gold and eyes like a summer sky. Her cheeks were a perpetual flush like a C. W. SON "I suppose a woman has a right to change her name." "I suppose a woman has a right to change her name." rose and her lips were like the rarest coral." Nellie was dark with flashing black eyes and an olive skin. "She—she must have been very beautiful," whispered Nellie, her lips quivering. "She was," he answered, "and as good and true and sweet as she was beautiful." "You must have loved her very much," faltered Nellie, fascinated by the light, which shone in his eyes as he contemplated the vision in the fireplace. "I did love her very, very tenderly," he replied. "Did she love you?" asked Nellie after a long pause. "Most passionately," he replied. "The parting nearly killed both of us." "Why did you part?" asked the girl, leaning forward eagerly. "Her father resolutely opposed the union," he replied slowly. "He was an invalid and she thought it her duty to defer to his wishes and remain with him and care for him. She would not listen to any waiting or my part, but renounced our happiness once and for all." Nellie had risen and now stood close to Arthur with pale face and frightened eyes. "Is her father still alive?" she asked. "No," he replied, "I read of his death only the other day." "Why do you not go back to her?" she faltered. "You ought to know," he replied, rising and looking down at her tenderly. "The old love is dead and a new one lives in its place." The color swept back to her face as she asked hysterically: "Are you sure you love me as much as you did her?" "More," he exclaimed passionately, as he held out his arms appealingly. She nestled herself within them and sobbed, hysterically, as she flung her arms about his neck: "I suppose a woman has a right to change her mind." "Once, but no more," he answered. And the girl did not dream that the perfidious wretch was saying to himself: "First prize to me as a scientific romancer." And she never knew that the girl in Michigan was a myth born of the necessities of Arthur's courtship. Repaired Wrong Covering.

Stalks and flowers of the old-time sweet herb, lavender, have been made into something very charming, by the artistic woman of to-day. To do it, she gathers the flowers on stalks about ten inches long, drying them carefully. Then, taking a bunch of stalks an inch in diameter and pressing them closely together, she turns the flowers inward at the top, forming a ball and weaving narrow green satin in ribbon in and out between the stemlets, a dalinty basketlike top is formed. The ends of ribbon are then wound closely at intervals around the stems until their ends are reached. A length of ribbon at this point and one at the flower end is used to suspend the "stick," and long loops of ribbon, forming two tassels, are hung on these suspending ribbons, still further beautify this fragrant lavender ball. Pretty Cloth Waist. weight cloth made with groups of plats and trimmed with narrow bands and motifs of embroidery.

Velvet Suit Still a Favorite The velvet suit promises to be as much a favorite this year as last and its new suppleness renders it extremely desirable for autumn wear. A model which is suited to stout and thin allure has a coat of slightly blousing bolero effect, entering a deep pointed girdle of satin. At the center of the back the seam of the bolero lengthens over the girdle into a plaited postillon tha reaches nearly halfway down the skirt. Light-colored broadcloth embroidered in French knots and sou tache braid forms the vest and also the wristband for a turnback cuff. Cordings of satin encircle the neck and make a heading for the hem of the skirt. No Season at All. This is the time of year above all others for weird clothes combinations. The woman who owns a new fall suit insists on wearing it even if the sun is hotter than midsummer, while she who has not yet arranged her fall outfit clings to her white linen in spite of the cool breezes that sweep the town in the late afternoon. New fall hats in the riotous wine reds, purples and mulberry shades are worn with lawn frocks of last July, and white canvas shoes peep out from a new plaid wool skirt in a shameless manner. Some women wear white linen frocks under long ullers of fall weight and others sport their summer coats of white duck or linen over dark cloth skirts. Sartorially the season is betwixt hay and grass, and the American woman's reputation as the best dressed in the world is having a pretty close shave. Color Schemes for Little Ones Judging from late Parisian confections for youngsters, the popular color schemes this fall show that youthful mixtures of black and white set off by velvet collar and cuffs in bright colors, and a peculiar shade of bluish gray have taken precedence over the many shades of brown worn last year. Dark blue, always such a satisfactory color, has a brilliant rather than a dead hue in this season's model coats. Bright olive green is also a favorite, particularly with collar and cuffs of fur, and for the child who takes care of her clothes, there is no color better suited to youth and beauty than a light shade of tan. Pretty Hats For Children No matter what its fate in the fashions of grown-ups, the large hat will always remain the most artistic for the child's face. There is no lovelier simple hat than a large white felt with huge Alsatian bow of wide ribbon directly across the front. One model trimmed in this manner has the bow held at the center by large braid rings, and the hat is shaded to the face by a narrow facing of velvet underneath the brim. Ribbon streamers both in velvet and silk are also seen on these large hats at the back. Boudoir Confidences Fashion declares we must array ourselves in stripes. Satin seems to be especially dear to the dressmaker's heart. White shoes will not be called in until the first frost comes. Observe the preponderance of the chenille hat in the milliner's window? Black broadcloth is the dressiest choice possible for the autumn tailormade. The blouse coat is out of it. Not THE LADY'S DRESS one specimen appears among the first fall suits. Waistcoats of plain pique will be worn with short coats until cold weather makes them incongruous.

HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES Cooked meat simmered gently in a good curry sauce is quite digestible, and much more tasty than cold meat.

Laundries charge no more for washing large articles than small ones and large towels do not wear out so rapidly. A strong solution of vinegar and water is efficacious in restoring the color of black lace that has grown rusty. Rinse in coffee, then iron while damp with a piece of flannel placed over it. Hats to Be Smaller. The coming hats are gradually growing more and more elaborate, and the quality of the material, whatever it may be, whether velvet or lace, is becoming more and more important. This year the hats are unusually handsome, though they are not so extreme as they were last year in some particulars. The big hats are not so big, at all events they are not so exaggerated as they were. In fact, the small hats are still popular, although milliners are rebelling against them and loading them down with plumes and trimming to give the effect of large hats. Picture hats will no doubt continue to be worn this year, though they are certainly smaller than they have been. Outing Waist. linen or flannel Blouse of heavy with fronts draped and crossed, and ornamented with straps of the material, fastened with buttons. The sleeves are full at the top plaited at the bottom and trimmed with straps of the material. The large cravat and the girdle are of foulard. An excellent trimming seen on a recently imported evening waist consisted of wee bows of soft silk so made that the general effect was that of fluffy bugterflies. The bows are made with the double loops and long ends which suggest the moth and both loops and ends were edged with the narrowest of Valenciennes—not, of course, the insertion. One of the bows was poised at the collar of the blouse. STREET COSTUM The costume at the left is of deep velvet cloth. Two ruffles bordered with silk braid and headed by soutache encircle the bottom of the skirt. The bolero is trimmed with the braid and soutache, and has shoulder ruffles, also bordered with the braid. The collar and wide girdle are of velvet. The full sleeves are finished with flare cuffs, bordered with the braid. The other costume is of biege and white checked wool. The bell skirt is trimmed at the bottom with straps of another at the line of the corsage and another came just above the high girdle where it held in place a barbe of exquisite lace. The butterflies were not tightly sewed, but stitched alrily onto the goods so as to convey an idea of potential flight. Princesse Wedding Gowns. The princesse gown is always new and always a favorite model for a wedding gown, and this season in particular, when it is modish to have the front of the bodice draped, it is far more becoming than heretofore. No trimming is necessary on either silk or satin—that is, on the skirt, while a lace yoke and dainty, cobwebby lace ruffles on the sleeves are all-sufficient. If a more elaborate effect is desired, then an embroidered design is worked out in silk and seed pearls; but somehow the plain rather severe style, that relies only upon the beauty of the material and the graceful draping, seems smarter and more effective. Frock of Green Linen. The skirt is plaited and ornamented The skirt is plastic at the top in front with buttons. The blouse is also plated and ornamented with buttons, and has a scalloped yoke ornamented with motifs of embroidery and bordered with a ruffle of valenciennes lace. ```markdown ``` The sleeves are finished just below the elbows with turn-over cuffs edged with the lace. The girdle is of the material or of leather to match. Toasted Cheese. This is one of those dishes rarely well prepared, but when rightly done is very nice. Cut a slice of stale bread about an inch thick (a day old), pare off the crust and toast it a light brown, without making it hard; then cut a slice of good fat, mellow cheese (English, Glosser or Cheshire is the best), a quarter of an inch in thickness, but not as large as the bread by half an inch on each side, cut off the rind and lay it on the toast in a cheese toaster; carefully watch it that it does not burn and stir with a spoon to prevent a pellicle or thin skin forming. Have ready some good mustard, cayenne and salt. This is a "rare bit." It must be eaten as it is prepared. Onions Boiled White Few housekeepers really know how to boil onions so that they will come out perfectly white. Pour boiling water over them and remove the skins. Put them in boiling salted water. When they have boiled five minutes change the water, and change again after five minutes. Boil half an hour, or until tender, but not until broken. Drain off the water, add milk to cover them, and cook five or ten minutes longer. Season with butter, pepper and salt. ES FOR FALL. the material attached by buttons. The blouse is covered with a paterine of brown cloth, bordered with a band and ruffle of the same, the former fastened with buttons. The reveres are trimmed with soutache, the upper ones also ornamented with buttons. The turn over collar is of brown velvet, bordered with a lace ruffle; the girdle is also of brown velvet fastened in front with a gold buckle. The sleeves are full at the top, then finished with deep tight cuffs, ornamented with buttons. OUT OF THE ORDINARY The Tearful Dard.

Some very curious iron hippo sandals of Roman origin, which were brought to light some time ago in the course of the extensive excavations which have been in progress in the neighborhood of Moorfields and London wall, have been added to the collection of antiquities in the Guild Hall Museum. Although believed to be horseshoes, there is a wide divergence of opinion among antiquaries as to the real use to which they were put. Some, indeed, owing to their peculiar shape, have actually supposed them to be hanging lamp stands of a kind which were much in vogue at that period. Others have suggested that they were wheel shoes, or skids, which were attached to military wagons at a time when such vehicles were built without wheels, and merely rested upon a couple of shafts protruding from the rear.—London Daily Telegraph. ```markdown ``` Smuggled Goods in Cork Leg Shuggle Goods in Cork Leg. Isaac Halten, a restaurant keeper of Breslau, has been arrested on the Russian frontier for smuggling arms and tobacco. The customs officers, who suspected him of carrying on a systematic contraband trade, searched Herr Halten, even to unscrewing his cork leg. Inside the limb were found two new revolvers, together with boxes of cartridges, besides large quantities of cigars and cigarettes. The authorities immediately confiscated the limb, forgetting the fact that Halten could not walk without it. He had to be carried in the arms of two custom house officials to the guardhouse. Decision Worthy of Solomon. In the Pekin Times this story is told of a troopship during a recent voyage from Hongkong. In the women's cabin were four wash basins, one of which was much larger than the others. There were three women in the cabin, whose husbands were about equal in rank. There was a great discussion as to which was entitled to the big basin. It was at last referred to the captain, who gave a decision worthy of a Solomon, saying: "It is only fair that the oldest lady should have the biggest basin." That basin was not again used during the whole voyage home. Arrested Both Bear and Owner. Some little time ago an Italian gave the police trouble in a certain small provincial town, and when the police were armed with a warrant to effect his arrest, they were faced with a difficulty which only tect could overcome. The alien was traveling the country with a performing bear, which he declined to leave even for a few minutes, and so it was decided to persuade the man to go quietly to the station with his animal. Eventually he consented, and both keeper and bear were placed in the same cell, and next morning duly appeared in the dock together. Accident Made Theatrical "Hit." Accident Made Theatrical "HIT." In connection with the first appearance of Tamagno, the simmer who died recently, in Verdi's "Ochoo," in February, 1887, the following story is told: At the rehearsal, in the last scene, when he should have fallen by his own hand prostrate across the body of Desdemona, he, not noticing a step leading up to the bedside, slipped and rolled to the ground. He was about to apologize, when Verdi, who was directing the performance, called out in excited admiration that it was as it should be done and he must never do it otherwise. Blacksmith's Narrow Escape. While working in his smithy at Bendigo, Victoria Australia, a blacksmith had a startling experience. Upon throwing down a heavy drill he heard a peculiar rumbling noise. He had hardly time to jump back when the ground near his anvil opened, leaving a hole two feet in diameter and sixty feet deep. The hole turned out to be the shaft of an old gold mine, the slabs covering the opening having apparently been worn out and giving way under the weight of the falling drill. Six Months Old, Weights 41 Pounds If little Alma Raba of Elizabeth N. J., barely six months old, weighs forty-one and a half pounds to day, what will her weight be in another half year? It is a question that doctors and local scientists are asking. Though born of small parents, Alma has the reputation of being the fattest child in New Jersey. Bears Stopped Electric Car An electric car loaded with people was stopped near Duluth, Minn., a few days ago by a big bear and her cubs, which emerged from the bushes and stood on the track. The bears became alarmed at the attention they attracted and soon moved off. LEWIS WOODS..... Business Manager.

THE WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON CENTENARY. On the 10th of December, 1805, at Newbury, Mass., was born William Lloyd Garrison, the man who set in motion the forces which resulted in the emancipation of the Negro in the United States from chatted slavery. We say "chattle slavery" advisedly, because other forms of slavery still exist in this good country. Mr. Garrison at the age of twenty-four consecrated his life to the cause of the slave. Because of an article against the domestic slave trade which he wrote in the Genius of Universal Emancipation. Nov. 13, 1829, he was indicted, tried and convicted of libel in Baltimore, and on failing to pay a fine of fifty dollars and costs was sent to jail for seven weeks. On the first of January, 1831, the first number of the Liberator appeared. The Liberator was published in Boston. In the salutatory address appeared these words, fit to be graven in the memory of every man who would serve the cause of freedom and righteousness: "I will be as harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or speak, or write, with moderation. I am in earnest; I will not equivocate; I will not excuse; I will not retreat a single inch; and I will be heard." With this motto Mr. Garrison began his warfare against slavery and continued it until the institution was forbidden by constitutional amendment, a period of thirty-five years. These thirty-five years cover the most momentous period of American history, and are deserving of study by every one who would be familiar with the struggle for freedom and emancipation. It would be fitting for the Negroes of this section to pay some attention to the letter which follows. The National Business League has accomplished a great deal of good among the Negroes of the United States and more interest from the West is due the effort which Prof. Washington and others have put forth. October 20, 1905. Mr. Lewis Woods, Publishing Co., Kansas City, Mo. Dear Sir;—I regret that you were not able to attend the recent session of the National Negro Business League, held in New York, August 16, 17, 18. It was in many ways the most successful session we have held. I am very anxious that you continue your interest in the organization, and am, for that reason, writing to suggest that you send at once check for $2.00 covering annual dues. We shall be able to place your name in the Proceedings of the League soon to be published, if we hear from you within the next few days. We shall see, of course, that a copy of the Proceedings of the League is sent to you as soon as published. Your badge will also be sent forward by the Registrar. Very truly yours. BOOKER T.

The case can be decided but one way if justice is done. 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 there from 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 diotic 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.

The usual snowbailing fun on the train was indulged in. By a misdirected shot a snowball struck a fat man from Denver square 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. Mayfield, the jolly News. Great Silay Family. The great family of Silay, a city of 14,500 inhabitants in the Philippine island of Negros, is that of Ming Lee. They are Chinese mestizos, partiarcal and vastly rich, the great house sheltering the sons and their families, more than forty adults, with Jroves 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.

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 beat."

Never mind 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.

MAKING THE WINDMILL SECURE Precautions to Prevent Violent Strain on Ghee Piaes, on Barn rrame. A heavy steel tower and windmill built on a barn frame makes a con siderable weight for the timbers to bear. It is well to have the tower so thoroughly braced as to be perfectly rigid. Three twisted wire cables can be used for guys to run from the top of the tower to heavy anchor posts set deeply in the ground, ‘These guys will keep the tower righlly in position and prevent any strain on the barn frame in a violent windstorm, The sketch and the following de- scription will fully explain: ‘Two of the tower corner posts (E) rest on the main cross beam.

T wish to build a pigeon loft of the following dimensions: 12 ft. long, 8 ft. wide, 9 ft. high at the front and 6 ft high at the back, Uprights and rafters are to be 3 ft. apart, the floor to be double and the roof and sides to be papered. What amount of lumber and paper will be required? ‘The material required for pigeon loft would be as follows: 4 pieces 2 ft. x6 ft. x 12 Ins, joists, 2 ploces 2 ft, x 6 ft. x 8 Ins, sills, 11 pivoos 2 ft x4 ft x9 ins. studs, T pieces 2 ft. x4 ft. x 6 ins. studs.

To ceil inside would require 475 feet matched ceiling, Fifty pounds of inch wire nails and twelve pounds of 4inch would do the job. Building a Porch. What size should the foundation of a porch be for a house 261x347 Is it necessary to dig a foundation below the frost line, for the floor of a porch? How much coment will it require, the floor being two feet above ground? The size of porch for a house as mentioned is governed by conditions, and surroundings. Ask the advice of a carpenter, The foundations should go down in ground deep enough to prevent the frost heaving them, The concrete for walls of porch is mixed eight parts gravel to one part Portland cement, and the floors are laid in two coats. The first coat from two to three inches thick is mixed with six of gray- el to one part cement and the top coats two parts coarse sand to one part cement. One barrel of Portland cement will build forty cuble feet of wall when mixed eight parts gravel, and stone fillers are used, A barrel of cement will lay eighty square feet of floor ax deseribed above, Stone Wall for Barn. How many tons of stone would be required to build wall under a barn 40 feet long and § feet high? About how many barrels of lime will be re: quired? How many barrels of ce: ment would be required for the same wall to make It of stones and gravel! The stone wall 1 ft. 6 In, thick would take 4% cords of stone (128 cuble feet to the cord) equal to about 28 tons weight, five yards of sand and 25 bushels of lime. For the eonerete wall for same one foot thick it would take of Portland cement 8 barrels, gravel 10 yards, stone fillers 3 yards, Concrete should be mixed eight parts gravel to one part Portland cement, Removing Partition in Mow. A hay mow 23 ft. by 21 ft. Is dividea by a partition into two small mows 21 ft. by 11% ft. How much more hay would it hold with the partition removed? By removing the center partition In hay mow, you would be able to get in abont two tons of hay as this par- tition prevents the hay from settling in center of mow and if removed there would be a great pressure on center of mow, thus the difference in the quan- tity of hay that could be stored, tm wow.

This is because they have a stock on hand of other brands containing only 12 oz. in a package, which they won't be able to sell first, because Defiance contains 16 oz. for the same money. Do you want 16 oz. instead of 12 oz. for same money? Then buy Defiance Starch. Requires no cooking. We have never neared of a business man going to a pool hall in search of an office boy. Defiance Starch should be in every household, none so good, besides 4 oz. more for 10 cents than any other brand of cold water starch. Perhaps they call them "captains of finance" because some of them are so rank. DON'T FORGET A large 2 oz. package Red Cross Ball Blue, only 6 cents. The Russ Company, South Bend, Ind.

Feb. 17, 1900. It is better to be known as a good man than to be known as a good fellow. Farmers and Merchants will be interested in announcement of "Acetylene Jones" in this paper. In the race for wealth the men who are distanced often reap the greatest benefits. Analysis of Medicines Open to All. Analysis of Medicines Open to All. "There is no public demand and there is not the slightest public necessity for a law compelling the publication of the formula of proprietary medicines," says the Committee on Legislation of the Proprietary Association. "Every Health Commissioner and every Pure Food Commissioner in the country, as well as every private physician or chemist, if he pleases, has the right to make an analysis of any proprietary medicine and to publish the result and to tell the public what he thinks, and there is nothing in the world to prevent such action. But that is not what the agitators for such legislation want. Their object is to destroy the sale of such remedies entirely." Some churches that talk about revivals would better talk about resurrections. All Up-to-Date Housekeepers use Defiance Cold Water Starch, because it is better, and 4 oz. more of it for same money. The pocketbook nerve of some men is much more sensitive than their domestic nerve. Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in ¼-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocery trics to sell you a 12 oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 oz." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. There are still two things that Glasgow does not do for its citizens: Pick out their neckties and their cigars. Edward Honors Japanese.

The Machine which skims the cream from milk does not lose a drop, while the old skimming process was crude and wasteful. Washing machines, which will relieve woman of the drudgery of cleaning clothes have not proved an encouraging success up to date, but when it comes to manufacturing exclusively by machinery without the touch of human hands, there is nothing more interesting than the history of Pillsbury's Vitos—the best breakfast food in the market to day. The white heart of the wheat kernel is cut out by steel rolls, conveyed to sterilizers, and then packed in two-pound, air-tight packages (this is the whole story), all by polished steel appliances, all handling, no cooking, no coloring, no adulteration, just the white heart of the wheat berry sterilized, nothing added, nothing taken away. Pillsbury's Vitos is therefore a healthful, substantial breakfast dish, actually the "Meat of the Wheat." Price 15c. A package will supply a week's breakfast for five persons. See the economy.

Producers are holding their stock at an advance over last year's prices, the advance amounting to about two cents per pound. COFFEE NEURALGIA Leaves When You Quit and Use Postum. A lady who unconsciously drifted into nervous prostration brought on by coffee, says: "I have been a coffee drinker all my life, and used it regularly, three times a day. "A year or two ago I became subject to nervous neuralgia, attacks of nervous headache and general nervous prostration which not only incapacitated me for doing my housework, but frequently made it necessary for me to remain in a dark room for two or three days at a time. "I employed several good doctors, one after the other, but none of them was able to give me permanent relief. "Eight months ago a friend suggested that perhaps coffee was the cause of my troubles and that I try Postum Food Coffee and give up the old kind. I am glad I took her advice, for my health has been entirely restored. I have no more neuralgia, nor have I had one solitary headache in all these eight months. No more of my days are wasted in solitary confinement in a dark room. I do all my own work with ease. The flesh that I lost during the years of my nervous prostration has come back to me during these months, and I am once more a happy, healthy woman. I enclose a list of names of friends who can vouch for the truth of the statement." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Ten days' trial leaving off coffee and using Postum is sufficient. All grocers. THE JOKER'S CORNER. WITTY SALLIES TURNED OUT BY THE HUMORISTS. Mr. Jiggs Knew Worse Trials Than Stretching the Truth—Misfortune, Not Affliction—Another Peace Conference of Considerable Importance. Putting a Good Face On it. Young William Makepeace Thackeray had broken his nose by jamming it carelessly against another boy's fist. "Well," he said, as he looked at himself in the mirror. "I'd rather have a nose of that kind that one like J. Pierpont Morgan's." At a subsequent period, however, he avenged himself by making faces at the entire aggregation of English society.

"I've been trying that physician you recommended so highly to me." "Ah! And you found him all that I said—reliable in every respect, eh?" "Well, he assured me he would put me on my feet inside of two months." "And did he do it?" "That's what he did. I've just sold my automobile in order to pay his bill." **Accident on Uganda Railroad.** The following is an official report sent to his superior by the station master at Nimba, on the Uganda railway: "To station Nairobi, from station Venani.

Little Pauline, after questioning her aunt as to who had made their house and being informed that Jim Welch had done so, repiled: "Why, auntie, God made our house.

(Mention this paper.) out extra charge, which used any one of these 70 Acetylene Generators it had found safe, and effective, just as it permitted houses to be piped for City Gas, or wired for Electricity, under proper conditions. Now, the Insurance Companies ought to know whether or not these 70 different makes of Acetylene Generators were absolutely Safe to use. Because, they have to pay the bills, if Fire or Explosion occurs, from any one of the Acetylene Generators they authorize. And, here's a proof of their good judgment. Though there are now Two Million people using Acetylene Light in America, there have only been four fires from it in one year, against 8805 Fires from Rosene and Gasoline. There have also been 4601 Fires from Electricity, 79 Fires from City Gas, and 520 Fires from Candles. Besides these there have been 26 Fires from the nails' rays. But,—only four Fires from Acetylene. That shows how careful the Insurance Board was in its examination of Acetylene Generators, and in permitting" only the 70 makes that were above susion, out of the 600 experiments that were once on the market. Well—the boom in Acetylene Lighting made lower prices possible on the material it is derived from, viz., Diamine Carbide, a material that looks like Electric Light, or three fourths that of City Gas. If I can't prove these statements to your full satisfaction my name is not "Acetylene Jones." But Acetylene is more than the safest and cheapest light of the year 1905. It is also the Whistle Light—the nearest to natural sunlight in health-giving Blue and Violet rays, and cause of this, with its freedom from theker, it is the easiest of all Artificial Light on the Eyes. It is so much like real Sunlight that it has made plants grow 24 hours per day in dark cellars where no sun of Daylight could reach them. It made them grow twice as fast as similar plants that had only the Sunlight of day time, viz., half the time. That was proven by Cornell University in a three-month's experiment made this very year. Now, I've saved up for the last a point more important to you than all the others about Acetylene light. It consumes only one fourth as much of the vital oxygen from the Air of Living rooms or bed rooms, either Kerosene or City Gas Light consumes. That's a tremendous difference in a lifetime, marking three fourths of a difference. Because,—Oxygen is Life. And every bit of Oxygen stolen from the lungs of Women, Children and Men, through Lighting, is a loss that can never be made good again. A 24 Candle Power Acetylene Light costs you only two fifths of a cent per hour. That's about $5.85 per year, if burned every night the year for four steady hours. A Kerosene Lamp of equal capacity would cost you third more, viz., three fifths of a cent per hour for Kerosene alone, or $8.75 per year. That's exclusive of broken lamp chimneys, newicks, and the everlasting drudgery and danger of canning, filling and trimming daily.

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 boast 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 a quittal. 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 forged check. English Tavern Signs. A tavern sign sign 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 viands 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 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. Peculiar Order to Trainmen.

Poets are wayward creatures, largely irresponsible for their actions, or, at all events, provided with such 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 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. You can always see good bargains when you are broke. ```markdown ``` OZONIZED OX MARROW CO., (None genuine without my signature) Charles Ford Past 76 Wabash Ave., Chicago, Illinois.

"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 darkeyed 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 will 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."—Harper's Weekly. Theatrical News.
