It simply shows what effect an organization with such principles can do for a community, and they have certainly left their impression. This is the most prosperous year in the history of the organization, and with the salary of the Grand Chancellor increased its premises to be more so. The endowment department has grown to magnificent proportions, and all beneficiaries have been paid, still leaving the treasury in excellent shape. We now expect a big boom for Pythianism in this section of the state, there being already many applications. During the session our dear Bishop Grant and Dr. Booker T. Washington met in the lodge in open session and delivered most excellent addresses, which were enjoyed by all, and gave all of us new impetus. The officers elected were Jno. E. Lewis of Wichita, Grand Chancellor; J. B. Davis of Weir City, Grand Vice Chancellor; Rev. I. W. Batchler of Lawrence, Grand Prelate; Dr. I. H. Anthony of Kansas City, Grand K. of R. & S.; Dr. E. S. Lee of Topeka, Grand M. of Ex.; A. T. Glover of Wichita, Grand Sec. of End. Bur.; S. W. Fleming of Wichita, Grand Treasurer of End Bur.; B. Pope of Topeka, Grand Master of Work; Dr. McWilliams of Lawrence, Grand Rep.; Dr. S. H. Thompson of Kansas City, Grand Medical Register; W. A. Wright of Galena, Grand Master at Arms. The next place of meeting will be at Lawrence, Kansas. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COL- ORED WOMEN. Fifth Biennial or Tenth Anniversary of Organized Afro-American Womanhood. The Fifth Biennial, or Tenth Anniversary of the National Association of Colored Women, recently in session in Detroit, Mich., July 9-14, was in every sense of the term a decided success. Two hundred and four delegates were registered and they represented states from the Atlantic on the East, to, and including, Utah on the West, and from the Gulf of Mexico on the South, to the Great Lakes on the North. The entire convention was a grand object lesson of the progress of the Negro to the crowds of both races who attended the sessions; and the Detroit press had many excellent things to say, except from which will be given in succeeding issues of this paper. By constitutional limitations (two biennial terms) Mrs. Yate's term of office had expired and Mrs. Lucy Thurman of Jackson, Mich., was elected President for the ensuing term. The association conferred upon Mrs. Yates the honor of electing her Honorary President for life, with all the rights and privileges of the body, and further expressed its devotion and esteem in consequence of the great work she had accomplished in building up the organizations, by presenting her a beautifully-inscribed, sterling silver loving cup. The eloquent presentation speech was made by Miss Anna Jones of Kansas City. The National Association of Colored Women in 1901, when Mrs. Yates was elected President in Buffalo, consisted of five federated states and various local clubs; and had an enrollment of 10,000 women; it now has twenty-three federated states, clubs in thirty-seven of the states, an enrollment of 40,000 women; and by enactments of this last convention will now, through regularly appointed representatives, establish clubs in Canada and Africa, thus looking forward to international organization in the work of race elevation. INDEPENDENCE NOTES. Brs. Nellie Clemmons of Denver, Colo., is visiting 'her aunt, Mrs. William Dehoney. Mrs. Esteller Moore of Kansas City is spending a few days in our city with her mother. Mrs. Emmer Salsberry of Kansas City was surprised Friday night by a number of friends from our city. It is reported that Mr. W. Thompkins is to marry soon. We wish him success. Mrs. Mattle Webb and daughter left for her home in Lamar, Mo., accompanied by Miss M. Laws. Prof. Chinn and wife will be in our city the 4th of August. They are always welcome. Mrs. Copridge had Rev. Fitts arrested Wednesday morning for misstreeting her daughter and I presume Miss P. P. went way back and sat down. Rev. Winrow is expecting to have a picnic the 4th of August. Every one is invited to attend. Rev. Robinson is still carrying on camp meeting at the A. M. E. church. The band boys prepared a grand time here Thursday. They marched to the Grove where they were to have a picnic. Their music was excellent, but the rain overtook them so they went away back and set down. You fought against your assistant teachers without a cause, that is why they were elected. As soon as you have time subscribe for The Rising Son. W. M. M. C. DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, Who Vitaled Kansas City Last Week and Made an Add- Encampment, Commending the Knights for the table Showing They Made. The seventh annual session of the National Negro Business League is to be held at Atlanta, Ga., Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 29, 30 and 31. The Atlanta Negro Business League is well organized and is at work maturing plans for the proper entertainment of the hundreds of visitors who are expected. It is better to see things in life and blinded in the activity.—Hamilton When you know that you know it know a thing, to know it; this is clus. When a man Reduced rates of one and one-third fare have already been secured from the Southeastern Passenger, the Trunk Line and the New England Passenger Association. Only one or two other lines to the far west are yet to concur in the arrangement. The program promises to be, as all of the League programs are, devoted to an intelligent discussion of those features of business development wherein the Negro people of the country are making progress. The Governor of the State of Georgia, the Mayor of the city of Atlanta and the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce joined in the invitation asking that this session of the League be held it Atlanta, and everything will be done to make the visit of all who attend pleasant and satisfactory. Information with regard to reduced rates may be secured from C. F. Adams, Transportation Agent, 934 S St., N. W., Washington, D. C., or with regard to other matters connected with the coming meeting from the president Booker T. Washington, Tuskooge Institute, Ala. WITH THE SAGES. It is the law of good economy to make the best of everything.—John Ruskin. An indiscreet good action is little better than a discreet mischief.—Bishop Hall. Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune; but great minds rise above it.—Washington Irving. Sorrow is sent for our instruction, just as we darken the cages of birds when we would teach them to sing.—Richter. Virtue will be a kind of health and beauty and good habit of the soul; and vice will be a disease and deformity and sickness of it.—Plato. --- It is better to see clearly one or two things in life than to move confused and blinded in the dust of an impotent activity.—Hamilton W. Mabile. When you know a thing, to hold that you know it, and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it; this is knowledge.—Confuclus. When a man dies they who survive him ask what property has he left behind. The angel who bends over the dying man asks what good deeds he has sent before him.—Mahomet. Through zeal knowledge is gotten, through lack of zeal knowledge is lost; let a man who knows this double path of gain and loss thus place himself that knowledge may grow.—Buddha. No man or woman of the humblest sort can really be strong, pure and good without the world being better for it, without somebody being helped and comforted by the very existence of this goodness.—Phillips Brooks. If we would only take the burden appointed for each day, we might easily manage it; but we choose to increase our trouble by carrying yesterday's over till to-day, and adding to our morrow's burden before we are required to bear it.—John Newton. KAISER EPIGRAMMATICUS. Most people know that the German emperor is given to epigram, but few persons know just how far this tendency has developed. An enterprising British journalist has collected the following aphorisms from the kaiser's stock: Never forget that the amenities of life are the life of the amenities. Commerce has become a passion, just as much of a passion as love. A law is the expression of the accumulated experience of centuries. A crown, whether or not it is a divine right, is at any rate a divine responsibility. The navy is no longer the wooden walls of a country; rather, it is a country's iron shield. A good memory is the second requisite of one who governs; a good conscience is the first. When a man ceases to remember his honor, it is time that his fellowmen should cease to remember him. The sword of justice is double edged, and when one edge grows duller than its fellow the sword has lost its usefulness. IN A NUTSHELL. Hobo's favorite flower: Ragweed. Legal tares grow on the graves of the rich. While truth lies in a well the lie is up and doing. Some men's idea of getting together is to bump each other. After hunger has eaten into one's tissues it begins on one's moral sense. Commerce every day gives additional point to the saying, "The world is my country." There is only one road to heaven, but it is traversed by many different kinds of vehicles. Only a dog can lick the hand that smites, and perhaps the trait is only creditable in a dog. A sneak in the church, a button in the collection box and a worm in a peach are three of a kind. One of the humors of life is to hear the financial editor complain of the typographical bulls in the stock report. And they are assuredly hard to bear. BRIEF DISPATCHES Hotel registers are sometimes great llars. Old King Coal is a bloodthirsty old soul. When trouble brews the product is often a bier. Death smudges but does not always wipe out dishonor. Many a strong hand is turned down by a four-flush and a bluff. Spite of the breakfast food companies the average boarder is bound to the steak. No preacher has yet likened the goal in football to heaven, although it is an avenue much frequented. When negroes shoot craps the formula is often "Come seven, come eleven, come heaven or the other place." TO CLIMB LIFE'S LADDER. Listen while others talk. Ask advice oftener than you give it. Talk about others rather than about yourself. Absorb information instead of trying to distribute it. In this way you will save your resources and increase your chances of success. POINTED PARAGRAPHS Patience is a virtue found chiefly in lazy people. Most aristocrats are the victims of inverted heredity. Consistency is a jewel that is often swapped for success. Worry is the interest mankind pays on the debt of nature. If wishes were sawhorses beggars would have nothing to wish for. Some men are as ready to do an injury as they are to apologize for it. It doesn't matter if a woman isn't pretty if she doesn't know she is ugly. What a pity it is that a law preventing the birth of fools is impracticable! Pame is but a bubble. The laurel wreath is less strenuous than a barrel hoop. Ambition never grows old; in fact it seldom gets beyond the age of indiscretion. Paradoxical though it may seem, the right end of a check to indorse is the left end. Did it ever occur to you that the average man's intelligence is below the average? A man usually has to go after things several times before they begin to come his way. Any woman who admits that her shoes are too tight is seldom inclined to be masculine. Nothing pleases a spinster when she has occasion to stop at a hotel like being assigned to "suite 16." Money that a man doesn't save by remaining a bachelor would probably support a wife and ten children. When the receipts of a church fair are less than the expenses there is something wrong with the feminine attractions.—Chicago Daily News. NUMBER 3 THINK THE MATTER OVER. In point of service, Countee Bros. is the oldest colored Undertaking and Funeral Directing firm in the city. In volume of business their trade is quite extensive. The people go to their place because of the courteous and gentlemanly bearing of the Countee Bros. and their employees. Countee Bros'. motto: "The Smallest Amount Consistent With First-Class Service." Everyone in Kansas City knows Countee Bros. have succeeded in building up the largest Negro business in the city by "square dealing." You can always get the best services, C. H. COUNTREE. prices and terms because they are best able to serve you. They keep or hand at all times a large stock of sockets and furnishings of every description. Their out of town business is daily increasing and they are skipping cases and finding patrons all over the district west of Chicago. The Chapel Morgue, showroom and office of Countee Bros. are the most complete in the city. If you wish first-class service and want to be treated like your business W. B. COUNTREE. deserves, call on Countee Bros., 914 East 12th street. If you are out of city and want the remains of your relatives or friends cared for, or desire casket or coffin, wire, or you can reach Countee Bros. by either phone. For reference, call up any bank in the city. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. A fond parent makes a foolish mentor. Easy lies the head that wears a new bonnet. Women preserve scandal in the acid of malice. Birds that fly low are no game for sportsmen. There's many a slip 'twixt the mustache and lip. It is almost as hard to keep a friend as it is to lose an enemy. The boy who chooses rich parents takes the first step to success. A woman's face is her fortune, and her clothes her husband's misfortune. IN THE PUBLIC EYE AUGUSTUS ST.

W. --- --- St. Gaudens, the famous sculptor, is claimed by America, but is a native of Ireland—a fact probably unknown by many until his recent illness brought forward, as is usually the case, bits of life history. St. Gaudens is 58 years old. He was born at Bublin, of French and Irish parentage, was brought to this country in infancy. At 13 he was apprenticed to a canoe cutter, and the long training in this craft had much to do with the delicacy his later work, the fine feeling for relief for which he is noted.

They say when told of the death of her only child, the prince imperial, slain while fighting in the English army against the Zulus, the unhappy woman cried: "I cannot die. My life will be prolonged a hundred years." The recent visit of the aged empress to the aged emperor of Austria was full of pathos. It was a splendid court Eugenie once ruled over, a court of magnificent entertainments and picturesque pageantry. And against the picture of the woman bowed with grief and years we have this contrast of her early days—"Eugenie, empress, mother of the prince imperial, adviser of the emperor, leader of fashion, surrounded by wits, musicians, scientists, writers, artists, ruled confident that her husband's dynasty was safe, that their son would reign after them." In 1870 the dynasty fell, in 1879 the young prince imperial met his death.

Ripley and Chester Lyon, students at the Middleboro high school, is attracting more than usual attention, and their work is favorably passed upon by electricians who recognize the value of their undertakings says the Boston Globe. Young Ripley takes up electrical specialties, and the wireless telegraph is his hobby. From reading about the CHESTER LYONG (UPPER) AND ARTHUR C. RIPLEY (LOWER) IN THEIR WIRELESS TELEGRAPH STATION. various models in use he constructed a machine, which he claims is different in many respects from any one now in use, and which can be successfully operated. At the age of 12 Ripley constructed a graphophone which would operate YOUTHS. BERG. successfully, and since then he took up the study of electricity.

Most children are fond of swinging, and in the accompanying sketch we illustrate a nursery swing that can be made at small cost; but in the making and in the using of it, there are two or three things that must not be forgotten, and that are necessary to guard against a possible mishap. Firstly, every portion of it must be strongly put together; and secondly, from time to time the ropes, etc. must be examined to see that they are not A THE SWING COMPLETE. wearing through, and the hooks should be tested to see that they are still firm in the ceiling; and after that, with ordinary care no accident should be possible. Iron hooks suitable for the purpose can be bought at almost any ironmongers; but for the buying of them and the fixing of them it would be quite well to employ the local carpenter, as they must be firmly screwed into the mage, and in itself is a neat, well-constructed affair. There is a sending and a receiving station, equipped with batteries, and the rest of the apparatus, which at present allows him to send a message about 60 feet. He has made trials already when the messages were sent through the two closed partitions, and at this distance it went very well. To operate a greater distance Ripley states more power from batteries would be needed, and the aerial plates would necessarily need to be more elevated. The apparatus exhibited at the town hall was one of the most popular of the articles shown, and he was constantly kept at work operating it, or explanations its workings. Power was generated from a bicycle on which Chester Lyons was stated, and by the revolution of the pedals a small dynamo was driven, which gave good power for the work and took the load off the batteries. Lyons' specialty is telephones, and he has built a complete telephone outfit, which works nicely. The apparatus was also exhibited. Lyons built the telephone apparatus when he lived at Hallifax, and it was used to connect the various buildings on the farm there. Besides these electrical devices shown, there were many other working models of machines which were in use at the exhibit. Their electrical research has been encouraged and assisted by Submaster L. O. Tillson, of the high school, who has done much to inform the boys or matters relating to their machines. joists that run across the ceiling. A carpenter would know, or soon find out, the direction in which the joists run, and it would be very little trouble to him to screw in the hooks so firmly that they should without danger be capable of sustaining any weight that they are likely to be called upon to bear. Unless possessed of a knowledge of the construction of a ceiling, it would be a dangerous and troublesome undertaking for an amateur to attempt to fix the hooks, as unless they are strongly screwed into the joists, they are certain not to hold, and down would come the swing, and perhaps its occupant also. After the hooks have been placed in position, they can be painted white or made to match the color of the ceiling, and when the swing is taken down and not in use they will be unnoticeable. If the swing is intended for quite small children, then the nearer the floor it is the better. The sketch shows the position in which the hooks should be arranged and all we shall require further will be three pieces of rope of a suitable length and a strong square basket or wooden box. A strong square basket will answer the purpose, and the ropes must be attached to the corners. To prevent the possibility of a child falling out, a strap may be passed through the handles and fastened across in the manner shown in the sketch. The rope attached to the third hook, some way in front of the others, enables a child to swing itself without aid. A cushion or two, or a rug in the basket will help to make the swing very comfortable and snug. Our sketch so clearly shows other details that further description is not necessary. Had Met Before.

Eloquent Reminder of Pioneer Days in the West—Was Held Up by Robbers and Indians Nearly 200 Times. New York.—The accompanying illustration shows an old-time stage coach of the Buffalo Bill variety. It formerly belonged to the Wells-Fargo Overland Stage company, which made wonderful trips across the plans, drawing up in front of the principal hotel of each town stuck full of arrows and bullets from redskins and stage robbers lying in wait along the route. Talk of heroes and those immortals of Balaklava days! They are not in it with the "gents" of the plains, who never showed fear. While being scaled, skinned alive or filled full of THE OLD STAGE COACH. Holes for their money they would "pass in their chips" with smiles on their faces. The particular stage in the illustration is one of the old Wells-Fargo vehicles which ran between Phoenix, Maricopa county, and Prescott, Yavapai county, Ariz. Of all the stages on the southern line, this particular vehicle became distinguished because it had been held up by Arizona state robbers and Indians 184 times in the course of its 20 years' service. It is a well made, honest stage, that can withstand nearly ten "hold ups" a year for 20 years. It is said that so much Arizona "plizen" was spilled by travelers in the vehicle that the coaches became thoroughly seasoned and nothing short of giant powder could far them. Attorney General Moody Selects Frank B. Kellogg of St. Paul as Aid in Legal Battle. St. Paul, Minn.—Frank B. Kellogg, of this city, one of the leading attorneys of the northwest, interested in the steel trust and known as a clever corporation lawyer, has been chosen by Attorney General Moody to assist in the great legal battle which the government has begun against the Standard Oil company. Mr. Kellogg attracted attention by his splendid work for the government in its fight against the paper combine. He was also associated with Elibu Root in the Harriman-Hill Northern Securities litigation. Frank B. Kellogg is an orator. Bitterness has small place in him. He can reply sharply to a sharp challenge, but apparently without a particle of malignity. Mr. Kellogg is a native of New York. He was reared on a farm and attended public schools in Minnesota, to which state his parents had moved. His rise in his profession began soon after his admission to the bar, when he was made city attorney of Rochester, Minn. Later he became county attorney of Olmstead county and entered the law firm of Davis, Kellogg & Severance, the most prominent in the state. He has also been Unique Craft Invented by Capt.

Ready to back up his words by deeds, he took his craft, the Urad. a 3,000-mile voyage across the Atlantic. With a crew of four men, the little vessel sailed from Aalesund, in Norway, to Drivers and guards were always armed—armed to the teeth, the called it, with an extra gun or two in each boot and a bowle knife in the belt. Having "round ups" with train robbers was part of the weekly business, and the first thing the "helpers" did while the horses were changing at relay stations was to pull out arrows and dig for bullets and make a note of it to tell the next stage load of tourists and prospecteurs that came that way. Wells, Fargo & Co. did just as much for the country and civilization in those days as any armed regiment of soldiers. They employed brave men at Cheyenne in the early days. Once in that town, called the wickedest city on earth—and it had 6,000 desperadoes and a thousand or two red-headed women from Australia who could dance 18 hours without fainting—word went around that the worst gang in Wyoming was going to attack the treasure to arrive that night. It was a rich cargo of gold dust and coin that the express company was hurrying across the plains. The manager wasn't frightened a bit. He put the treasure in a round-house made of timbers, almost airtight, and pierced with holes on every side, just large enough for a man to sight his gun through. Twenty men, each with a sawed-off gun and several kegs of slugs and powder were piled in on top of the treasure and the men told to shoot everything in sight. The plaza in front of the hotel was cleared, and about two o'clock next morning the attack opened and the defenders began pumping lead into the invaders. It was a great fight and for a few minutes there was a continuous roar of rifles and shotguns. The air was mixed with fire, slugs and old nails. The boys won a great victory for the express company and it was nearly a week before they began hanging thieves again to the telegraph poles along the principal streets of the town. All the residential thieves had been killed. The Methodist preacher who presided there said he never had so flourishing a congregations and so easy a time as when he saw a new man swinging from a rope every day he went down-town to get his mall. The old stage coach shown in the picture is an eloquent reminder of those wonderful days of the pony express and stage coach when half the world was "hoofing" it across the plains. T. H. FRANK B.

He rides, motors and plays golf. Gloucester, Mass., and arrived without serious damage after an extremely stormy passage. The plucky captain undertook the voyage both to demonstrate the usefulness of his boat and to win a prize of £38,000. The Uraad is only 18 feet long, with an 8-foot beam. She is egg-shaped, and it is owing to her peculiar form that she is able to ride safely over big Atlantic rollers that would swamp an ordinary boat of her size. Capt. Brude is very proud of his little craft, and has great hopes that his invention will prove of inestimable service to sailors, and minimize loss of life in cases of wreck or collision. He certainly has the courage of his convictions. It is no light undertaking to sail 3,000 miles across the Atlantic in an 18-foot sail vessel. Mrs. Chadwick's Painted Flowers.

Don't Pity Yourself—The Busy Poor Happier Than the Idle Rich—Earn Every Cent of Your Wages—fully and Have Well-Shod Feet—The Distinguishing Marks of a Lady—Expect No Favors Because of Your Sex—True Heroism of the Mothers of the Poor—The Privilege of Helping at Home. BY MARGARET E. SANGSTER. (Copyright, 1906, by J. seph B. Bowles.) Whatever you do, don't pity yourself. Don't spend time in wishing you were better off, that you had more money, an easier position, longer vacations, and a better time. Nobody has so good a time as the person who has work to do that is necessary in the great scheme of things, and that she thoroughly understands. Your work may be obscure, but if it is well done, it counts for just as much as the work at the greatest man or woman on this earth. The chief trouble is with some of us that we are too ready to think of ourselves before we think of our work. This is the most wasteful blunder that can be made. Put the work first and yourself second, and make up your mind that if you are taking wages from anybody, you will earn every dollar of them to the last cent. One morning some months ago I stood by an open window in a densely crowded section of New York city. It was away down town where the tollers live, and I watched with great interest the procession of people who were going to their places of business. Although it was early, they had been at breakfast and were walking steadily forward toward the offices, shops and factories where each had his and her place. In that throng I noticed a great many girls. Some were alone, others were in pairs or groups, but all had the intent, eager appearance of those who were straining toward a goal. They had; the advantage over the idle rich of being the busy poor. But they did not look in the least as though poverty were a burden or a handicap. Most of them were comfortably dressed with short skirts and jackets, trim little sailors hats and well-shod feet; their eyes were bright, they wore the air of those who had a pleasant day before them. After all, what is wealth except a good deal of luggage to carry on the road? What is poverty except marching without too much weight to encumber one's steps? Nobody is poor who can pay her way and save a little for the day of sickness, or the day when the works may shut down. Nobody is rich who has more desires than she has dollars to gratify them. If one is a poor girl who must work, the wise course for her is to try to advance her own worth in the market. For example, one should not be contented to be a mediocre saleswoman or a slovenly stenographer, or a mere drudge who watches the clock to ascertain when her day will end, so that she may drop her work at the first stroke that sets her free. Because one has not much money, there is no reason why her work should be rated low in the scale. A girl who is an expert in what she undertakes, who is responsible, punctual and accommodating will surely forge ahead. One girl I think of whose early home was in a rear tenement, in a great city, whose educational advantages were extremely limited, and who learned her art of stenography and typewriting in a working girl's club, in the evenings of a winter when she was serving in the daytime as a cash girl in a department store. She found employment in a publishing house. At first her lack of vocabulary and of general information told against her, but she was quick witted and watchful, and neglected no detail. Very soon she mastered all that she needed to make her valuable. Before long she was known in a large establishment as a young woman who might be depended upon, who was efficient, trustworthy and capable. She was promoted from one department to another, and her salary was increased from time to time. After awhile she was able to give up her work and establish herself independently as a woman of business employing others. Force, energy and skill help their possessor, and she had them. A young woman who undertakes regular daily work must remember that her health is her most important asset. In going to and from the office or mill or shop, she must be dressed for any weather, and she must not commit the folly of spending so much on her best clothes that she has no everyday ones fit to wear. A business outfit should include an umbrella, overshoes and rain coat. In these days of shirtwaists that may be easily laundered, there is no excuse for presenting an untidy appearance at business. In many of the larger stores, a sort of uniform is insisted upon, and it usually makes the wearer look both trim and pretty. A simple black frock with white collar and cuffs is becoming to any young woman, and it quite saves her from the vulgarity of glaring colors and cheap jewelry. A working girl should be at palms to wear shoes that fit her feet, and she should keep them well polished, and well buttoned, and should not forget that a run-down heel makes one book literally run down all over. Whether shoes are tied or buttoned, they should be in good order. If one has to stand most of the time, one's shoes should have low heels and broad soles, should fit comfortably over the instep and be of leather that does not draw the foot, and make it feel hot and cramped. We should never be conscious of our feet. Faithful servants that they are, they are often shamefully ill-treated, and it is no wonder that they take vengeance on us by torturing corns and shockingly disfiguring bunions. Look well to your hands and finger nails. They are the distinguishing marks of a lady, and a lady is of no class. The humblest worker in the hive may be a lady, and a queen can be no more. The working girl should be impersonal. By this I mean that she ought not to expect favors on account of her sex. Just as she takes care of her health and guards herself from colds and headaches and nerves and faintning fits, that she may be able six days out of seven to do her work well and faithfully, so she should guard her behavior from foolish coquery and affectation. The men with whom she works must think of her only as a fellow worker, she has no claim on them beyond this. She is not a maiden in society to whom homage is to be paid. She is a worker on equal terms who demands only civility and fair dealing. If her fellow-clerks and her employers are true men, and gentlemen, they will not trespass on her rights by paying attention or giving invitations that she cannot with self-respect accept. Indeed, when a working girl surrounds herself with the cool aloofness of pre-occupation, she is in small danger of being in any way disturbed. The vast body of American men treat women well, no matter in what place or relation the latter may stand. One of the joyful privileges of the poor girl who works is that she may help her own dear ones. This is not a hardship. On the contrary, right-feeling girl regard it as a pleasure. The bond between mothers and daughters among the poor is even closer than the bond that unites those who have plenty of this world's goods. A mother is always a mother and a daughter always a daughter, but for genuine common sense, beautiful sacrifice and true borolism, none surpass the mothers of the poor. Often they have struggled hard to bring their children up. Only the angels know what stern adherence to duty, what scorn of ease, what vigilant care may be shown by a mother whose little kingdom of home is three rooms in a crowded tenement, who has her hands full from morning to night, who washes, irons, cooks, sews, mends, sweeps, nurses babes, bears sometimes with the caprices and whims of a neer-do-wel husband, and is cheerful and kind and true-hearted through everything. This mother is as careful a chaperone to her young daughter as any mother in other circles can be, although the word chaperone may not exist for her. When her daughter begins to earn money she takes it home to her mother, and her mother manages it and gives her what she thinks the girl can afford to spend. The privilege of helping the home is one of the sweetest and dearest privileges of a working woman among the poor. A MOST UNIQUE DOILY.

ECHOES FROM RELIGIOUS FIELDS THE PRESBYTERIAN UNION. How the Four Years' Struggle Has at Last Ended the Existing Schism. After a four-years' struggle the reunion of the Cumberland Presbyterian church with the Presbyterian church in the United States of America has become an accomplished fact. By the almost simultaneous adoption of the final basis of union by the general assembly at Des Moines, Ia., and by the Cumberland assembly at Decatur, Ill., a breach of nearly 90 years' duration is closed, if not healed. The general assembly records only two votes against the union, and nearly 700 in favor of it. In the Cumberland, however, the majority vote was not so overwhelming. The anti-union minority in the Cumberland church, or, rather, an irreconcilable portion of that minority, has even threatened secession from the reunited church. A writer in The Cumberland Presbyterian (Nashville, Tenn.) pleads with this minority not to stultify the new union by a fresh schism. He says in part: "After all, are not the points of difference so slight that they sink into significance beside the points of agreement? So far as the doctrinal contention is concerned, do you not see that it is merely a quibble about words, and that both churches are thoroughly and forever committed to a free Gospel and an unrestricted salvation? The declaratory and brief statements of Presbyterian doctrine would be accepted as authoritative in any court in Christendom. Why should we hesitate to do it? Have you forgotten that 'the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life?' The consummation of the union, according to newspaper accounts, was bailed with a tremendous outburst of enthusiasm. Dr. William Laurle, of Bellefonte, Pa., and Rev Roger F. Cressy, of Jacksonville, Ill., the only anti-unionists in the assembly, registered their votes "for conscience sake." Dr. Laurie recorded no specific reason for his opposition, merely asserting: "It is purely a question between me and God." Mr. Cressy said: "This is a matter of conscience with me." The committee on union, having accomplished its first great object, asked to be continued, feeling that there was still work for it to do. SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENT International Prayer Circle of America to Encourage Prayer Habit. A religious movement of interest has just been started at Evansville, Ind., under the title of the International Prayer Circle of America. The Christian Work says its object is to induce a more general habit of prayer among Christians, which shall not only deepen their own spirituality, but which shall be the means of awakening a greater religious feeling among others and spreading this ardor the world over. Rev. Henry B. Roller, who has been conducting evangelistic work for some months past in Evansville, is the founder of the new organization. He says, in explaining its aims and purposes, that "it is a union of Christian people of all denominations and creeds in America who will agree to pray for a more general revival in the United States of America and for the entire western hemisphere." No subscription is required and no constitution or by-laws to bind, as the Prayer Circle is by no means to come in conflict with any church or benevolent organization, but is to be an auxiliary to existing organizations in the church. Anyone can become a member by sending his name to the Prayer Circle committee, and a card, containing the seven conditions to which he agrees, is sent for signature to the person, and a record made of the same. Mr. Roller's doctrine is that genuine revivals are not worldmade or artificial, but that they come inspirationally from God as the reward of earnest and fervent prayer. "Any church, community or city can have a revival," says Mr. Roller, "if the devoted Christians, many, or few, will come together and keep on praying until victory comes. The Prayer Circle booklet, which gives an outline of the purposes and methods of the organization, will be furnished local prayer circles for single churches or in communities or cities, giving full instructions how to organize prayer circles and operate them. Presbyterianism in the Phillippines. A visitor to these islands says: "One evangelist is as much of a pacifying force as a whole company of constabulary." The Assembly Herald reports a rapid increase in converts of the Presbyterian mission, which in five years has received over 2,000 communicants; 1,200 being the fruit of the past year's work. The church in Manila is to have a large building very soon. $1,000 having been donated by Mr. Emerson, of Titusville, Pa. Bible Circulation in Samoa Writing from Apia, Samoa, Rev. G. W. Sibree, of the London Missionary society, asks for a further consignment of 2,500 Samoa Bibles, and reports that the German governor has granted permission to import Bibles or educational books free of duty. Mr. Sibree has remitted $1,410, representing the proceeds of sales of Bibles in Samoa during 1904. Unalaska, in the Alaskan Islands, a Desolate Spot—Where White Men May Not Land. Unalaska resembles other northern stations, having warehouses, docks, the inevitable Greek church and a score of wooden cabins. Whalers leave here for the Arctic regions. Dutch Harbor is a station for our revenue fleet. There is much coming and going of ships of all nations; there are quite a formidable fleet, and only two ships out of twelve carry colors of the same country. Just before entering the harbor one notices a detached rock high against the side of the cliff. It bears a striking resemblance to a Russian price in full robes. Touched by the sunset light, he seemed to stand blessing the harbor. Sailing north out into Behring sea, one looks back at the desolate, silent, treeless islands, which seem to walk the edge of the world. Hundreds of miles west they run toward Vladivostok. Two hundred and forty miles north of Unalaska are the Pribilof islands; not large, but the greatest seal islands in the world. There are many fur scals around the shores of Behring sea and the Aleutian islands, but the great mass of them are bred on the Pribilof group. No white man is permitted to land on these breeding grounds without a permit, signed by the secretary of the treasury of the United States.-Outdoor Life. THE CAMERA FIEND Man Was Not Satisfied with Ordinary Amusement Like Teking Pictures. A well-known criminal lawyer one day sauntered into a police court just as a case was called. It appeared that the defendant had no attorney, and the judge glanced about the room to see whom he might assign to the case. "I'll take it, jade," the late comer said, wishing to pass away the time. "By the way, what is the man charged with?" the attorney presently asked. "He's a camera fiend of the worst sort, Mr. Brown," the judge said with a slight smile. "I expect to send him to the workhouse for about three months." "What!" the lawyer shouted, indignantly. "Your honor must be joking. Send a man to the rock pile for three months for a little harmless amusement like taking pictures?" "Well," the judge said, mildly, "he don't take pictures much—it's the cameras he takes." No One Wanted Box 13 In no other western European country is superstition so prevalent as in Austria-Hungary. Quite recently the chamberlain's office changed the number of box 13 in the Imperial opera house and the Imperial Court theater to 12a, because the public objected to sitting in a box beering this unlucky number. None of the rich subscribers who takes a box for the year wanted No. 13, and for single performances it was just as hard to dispose of. This superstition reaches its height in medicine. Speaking at the health exhibition, Dr. Heinrich Grun declared that in many instances superstition, and especially local superstition, was an absolute menace to public health. In the Austrian hospitals one finds no block or pavilion 13, no ward 13, no staircase 13. Very few patients will consent to be operated upon on the thirteenth day of the month, and in this respect Friday, too, is considered just as unlucky. At Carlsbad, Marienbad, Gastein and other famous Austrian cure resorts nobody wants to begin his cure on a Friday. DIDN'T BELIEVE That Coffee Was the Real Trouble. Some people flounder around and take everything that's recommended but finally find that coffee is the real cause of their troubles. An Oregon man says: "For 25 years I was troubled with my stomach. I was a steady coffee drinker, but didn't suspect that as the cause. I took almost anything which someone else had been cured with but to no good. I was very bad last summer and could not work at times. "On Dec. 2, 1902, I was taken so bad the doctor said I could not live over 24 hours at the most, and I made all preparations to die. I could hardly eat anything, everything distressed me, and I was weak and sick all over. When in that condition coffee was abandoned and I was put on Postum, the change in my feelings came quickly after the drink that was poisoning me was removed. "The pain and sickness fell away from me and I began to get well day by day, so I stuck to it until now I am well and strong again, can eat heartily, with no headache, heart trouble or the awful sickness of the old coffee days. I drink all I wish of Postum without any harm and enjoy it immensely. "This seems like a strong story, but I would refer you to the First Nat'l Bank, the Trust Banking Company, or any merchant, of Grant's Pass, Ore., in regard to my standing, and I will send a sworn statement of this if you wish. You can also use my name." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Still there are many who persistently fool themselves by saying "Coffee don't hurt me." A ten days' trial of Postum in its place will tell the truth, and many times save life. "There's a reason." Look for the little book, "The Road to Welville," in pkgs. HIS ONE WEAK SPOT. Prominent Minnesota Merchant Cured to Stay Cured by Doan's Kidney Pills. O. C. Hayden, of O. C. Haylen & Co., dry goods merchants, of Albert Lea, Minn., says: I was so lame that I could hardly walk. There was an unaccountable weakness of the back, and constant pain and aching. I could find no rest and was very uncomfortable at night. As my health was good in every other way, I could not understand I could hardly walk. There was an unacountable weakness of the back, and constant pain and aching. I could find no rest and was very uncomfortable at night. As my health was good in every other way, I could not understand this trouble. It was just as if all the strength had gone from my back. After suffering for some time I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. The remedy acted at once upon the kidneys, and when normal action was restored, the trouble with my back disappeared.

For a sure cure for snake bite, take about seven drops of iodine, scarify, and bathe the wound also with iodine. This remedy was first used by a medical officer in British service in India. It has cured both man and a number of animals; it never falls; it is really wonderful in its effects. One instance I will relate. A young man working for me in the harvest field was bitten by a very large rattsnake on one of his large toes. I gave him about seven drops of tincture of iodine on a little sugar, and to make doubly sure repeated the dose an hour later. His foot swelled, but next morning he was all right. I have had animals whose bodies have swelled considerably, but all have recovered from the bite—Topeka Capital. Nothing Succeeds Like "EGG-O-SEE" The man who preaches the best sermon; the man who tells the funniest stories; the man who keeps the best store; or the man who makes the best goods soon finds that people come to him. Merit is the best advertisement in the world. People speak well of things they know are good. They pass the good word along. The best breakfast food is EGG-O-SEE, for it contains all the life-giving properties of nature's best food, which is wheat. EGG-O-SEE is deeply in debt to the thousands of wives and mothers who use it in their homes, for these good women tell their neighbors about this great food. Children and aged persons alike are friends of EGG-O-SEE. Merit and common sense are the things that advertise EGG-O-SEE most. EGG-O-SEE is cheap. A 10-cent package contains ten liberal breakfasts. EGG-O-SEE is sold everywhere. Grocers must keep it if they want to keep their good customers, for good customers insist on buying EGG-O-SEE. The fact that no preparation, no cooking is required, makes EGG-O-SEE very popular. Open the package; put as much as you like in a dish; pour on milk or cream and eat. It is delicious. It is wholesome. It makes you strong. A lot of interesting facts about EGG-O-SEE have been published in book form entitled, "Back to Nature."

OUT WOMEN Freshness is not to be despised in women, vegetables or flowers. A woman of gushing proclivities is apt to consider herself irresistible. The woman who nags her husband deservedly sits down to a lonely meal. Wise is the woman who does not expect a man's devotion at election time. The woman who constantly quotes her husband seldom realizes what an intolerable bore she is to others. A woman with a musical voice may babble of coal dust and sauer kraut, and still compel you to think of lute strings.—Excellence.

In addition to table and other decorations it is planned to grow flowers on a scale sufficiently large to allow a free distribution of roses to women and carnations, or other seasonable flower, not only in dining cars but to passengers in every car of every train, and in winter as well as in summer, the idea being to make patrons feel that the flowers are a part of the trip over this road and not precious little souvenirs. The greenhouses will probably be located at Grand Island, Neb., Cheyenne, Wyo., Denver, Col., and Ogden, Utah. In California and in the territory of the Sunset route in the south the company has no trouble in getting outdoor flowers all year. But even in these districts the scheme of flowers for passengers and car decorations is to be enlarged upon. Dining room along all lines are to be supplied freely with plants and blooms. The California and southern resources with the greenhouses to be built along the central route will put the Union, Southern Pacific and Oregon. Short Lines in a position where they may become known as the floral lines, an appellation officers of the Harriman lines hope to merit. TRUE COURAGE. "Cowards Have no luck!" These are Elizabeth Kulmann's brave words. J. Brisben Walker believes that "No man can be truly a gentleman if a coward." "Fortune never helps the man whose courage fails." This is a bit of the wisdom of Sophocles. Says George Horace Lorimer: "No man is a failure until he's dead or loses courage—and that's the same thing." Sydney Smith long ago remarked that "A great deal of talent is lost to the world for the want of a little courage." "When moral courage feels that it is in the right there is no personal daring of which it is incapable," was Leigh Hunt's conviction. Said Rochefoucauld: "True bravery is shown by performing without wilness what one might be capable of doing before all the world." "Tear, which only is another name for ignorance, is all that ails us. Understanding alone conquers fear." This is the successful creed of Helen Williams Post. FOUR YEARS OF AGONY. Whole Foot Nothing But Proud Flesh —Had to Use Cutches—"Cuticura Remedies the Best on "In the year 1899 the side of my right foot was cut off from the little toe down to the heel, and the physician who had charge of me was trying to sew up the side of my foot, but with no success. At last my whole foot and way up above my calf was nothing but proud flesh. I suffered untold agonies for four years, and tried different physicians and all kinds of ointments. I could walk only with crutches. In two weeks afterwards I saw a change in my limb. Then I began using Cuticura Soap and Ointment often during the day, and kept it up for seven months, when my limb was healed up just the same as if I never had trouble. It is eight months now since I stopped using Cuticura Remedies, the best on God's earth. I am working at the present day after five years of suffering. The cost of Cuticura Ointment and Soap was only $6, but the doctors' bills were more like $600. John M. Lloyd, 718 S. Arch Ave., Alliance, Ohio, Jun 27, 1905." DO YOU REMEMBER— An untitled calamity that actually came? A sycophant who turned out to be a real friend? A bad man who was really as bad as he was reputed? An actor that wasn't thoroughly delighted with himself An absounding cashier who wasn't "a trusted employee?" A man who weet wrong who wasn't "a highly-respected citizen?" A woman criminal who was not "beautiful and apparently refined?" A horse that could trot as fast as the man who sold him to you said he could? Anybody who achieved sinlessness before starting a fusillide of stones at others? A successful man who used up nineteenths of his time telling what he was going to do next A prize fighter that went through the throes of the championship without becoming demoralised?

The white citl- zens were proud of the showing made by members, as were the colored peo: ple. We, the members of the various local lodges should feel highly grath fied, in spite of the fact that we did not clear a great sum of money, The K, of P. comes nearer being a busl- ness proposition than any secret or- ganization conducted by colored folk. ‘This is a good thing and Its doors are ‘open to all good energetic men. No man has ever been deceived when he sought it, but some times men de- ceive themselves. The entertainments given by the local lodges, were well attended, and the members thank the public for its patronage and excellent behavior, The uniform rank while in encamp- ment at 51st and Prospect, was hon- ored with the presence last Thursday of Booker T, Washington of Tuskee- ee, Alabama and Bishop A. Grant, of West Side. Dr, Washington was proud of the showing made, and said that at no time had he attended a euthering that pleased him more than did this one. And the Bishop spoke approvingly.

Dr. Torrey, the evangelist, was speaking one day in London when a Dibulous fellow arose and announced, waveringly, that he did not believe everything in the Bible. “I don’t see how anybody cag walk on water,” he declared; “can you do it, Dr. Tor- rey?” The preacher looked grimly at the man for a moment and then an- swered: “Well, I can walk on water better than I can on rum.” —— ‘Trees for Kansas.

Miss Mary Porter, one of the most competent teachers of the West Side, after having lingered for more than a year, has been relieved of her suffering by Him who doeth all things well. She rests from her sufferings and labors. Her loss is deeply felt by all who know her and especially those who know of her good work in the school room. She was also an ardent church worker, and will be greatly missed by the Sabbath school of the A. M. E. church. Dr. Theo. Smith, our popular druggist, has leased a store room under the new up-to-date forty room hotel at 18th and Tracy, one block north of the Negro High School. The doctor will occupy this room with a first-class drug store on or about Sept. 1. He will be the only Negro in this country owning and operating a string of drug stores. This young Negro came to Kansas City five years ago without a cent, today his rating with Dunn & Bradstreet is well up in the thousands. As a rule when we read of a Negro success, it is all on paper and is nothing but talk, but we know these are facts. We need more young men of this type. If Kansas City had a hundred such Negroes like the doctor the race problem in Kansas City would soon be solved. The Son wishes him success. JOTTINGS. Every blonde carries her own headlight. Poverty is a grindstone on which many wits are sharpened. Beauty is often one woman's thorn in another woman's flesh. Misery may love company, but the company seldom reciprocates. Bookkeepers and washerwomen always know where to draw the line. Any man who lives within himself is apt to be troubled with indigestion. When Dame Fortune goes calling she utterly disregards "at-home" days. It is always hard to foretell whether a strike is to result in a gusher or a duster. A cynic is a man who would make a fool of himself in the society he satirizes. When it comes to laughing stocks the pessimist is a bear and the optimist a bull. Some men get more satisfaction out of their laziness than others do out of the dollars they toll for. In a campaign of education it is often difficult to distinguish between pedagogues and demagogues. The August Clearance Sale The annual August Clearance Sale begins next Monday.

We have built up here the greatest Piano business in the West and have done it by fair, square dealing. We shall continue to travel that road. We shall stick to one price to all alike. We do not pay commissions to anyone for bringing or sending piano customers to us. Our price is so low we cannot do it. We sell $175 Planos for $125. We sell $250 Planos for $190. We sell $300 Planos for $210 Any of our Planos may be paid for in cash, or part cash, $10 or more down, and $6 or more a month. The price is the same whether you pay cash or buy on time.

Simmons leaned back in his chair, drew a couple of long puffs from the meerschaum, and smiling at his companion, began: "You know me, Tom. You know Jimmed well that I never was very fond of children; as a rule bachelors never are; and when a fellow like me, without kith or kin, gets such a letter as I received, why, it naturally takes his breath away. Here is the precious missive itself. Simmons presented a crumpled aheet of paper, from which he read: "Dear Papa: I want to se you so bad I can't wait no longer so I am coming to se you tomorrow nite. Peas stay at home and I will com about 7 o'clock. With lots of lov, I remain, Your little Mary." "How would you like to get something like that. Tom, old boy? Wouldn't it kind of make your breath come short for a few seconds? Well, I wonder! Sure, you'd stop to think, and more than that, you'd begin figuring what to do with that kid when she showed up to see her 'papa.' "Of course you'd think of getting a detective to look after her when she showed up. That's just what I thought, but, then, detectives sometimes have the habit of telling things that the newspapers get hold of, and I had no relish for seeing a flaring headline proclaiming that; 'John George Simmons Spurs His Baby daughter,' or any such. I tell you, I did some pretty hard thinking. "Tom, you old numskull, certainly I thought of going to see her and prevent her coming; but this was a wise little girl, and she forgot to put her address on the note. "Oh, your suggestions are all right, Tom, but I thought of all of them. Butlers and babies don't mix well, and you can imagine what a nice spectacle it would have been to have that kid standing on my front step yelling; 'I want to see ray papa,' and the butler trying to argue her out of it. "Say, Tom, you know how a fellow sees the morning after; well that was me the day after I got that note; I was simply yelling for help. And the worst feature of the whole business was that I had invited a few of the boys up for a quiet game that night—that to-morrow night in Mary's note. "Well, by afternoon I was most all in, and the more I thought of it the hotter I got; until I decided to go ahead with that game, if all the kids in town came tearing into the house yelling 'Hello, papa, we've come to see you.' When it got to be half-past seven o'clock and that kid had not shown up, I was about as near a crazy man as I ever want to be. "Later on the boys began coming, and every time one of them rang the bell at the front door it was like pouring a pitcher of ice water down my back. You know, a fellow can't tell what a woman will do, and it occurred to me that maybe Mary had decided to call later. "Talk about trouble! I'd got myself in such a devil of a state that the boys took it up, and the way they handled me during the evening was nothing small. "When they had all gone, and I finally went to bed, I lay there hoping and praying that as Mary had not put in an appearance that night, she never would; and easing myself with that, I dropped off to sleep. "Of course, I heard from her again. Heard from her again—well, I should say I did. The first thing that caught my eye when I got to the office next morning was a letter addressed to me in that same big, round, uncertain hand. Everything of the past two days came rushing back to me in that second, and, say, Tom, I guess the office boy thought I'd gone cranky the way I grabbed that letter and ducked. Once outside and alone, I concluded to face the worst and tore open the envelope. Here it is: "Dear Papa: I couldn't come last nite because I was sik. I am not well yet and so I want you to come and se Hoping to se you tonite, I am, Your little Mary. "No 786 Blank St." "Yes, and down here in the corner she had a bunch of crosses and the information that they represented kisses, for me. --- "Tom, did I go?" Of course I did. I made up my mind to say some things that a gentleman ought really not say to a lady: but, then, a father has some privileges, and I proposed to teach this unknown daugh- ing Like New. The salesman brought out a superb kitbag of cowhide, a rich brown bag, hand sewn, as big as a trunk. "This," he said, "is 40." "I'd take it," said the patron, "only brown leather luggage gets so dirty and shabby after a few months use. I have a leather steamer trunk I paid $75 for, and it is scratched and stained and discolored so I am ashamed of it." The salesman frowned. "Haven't you sense enough," he said, "to clean your brown leather lug- ter of mine something before I got through with her. "Old pal, have you ever, as a boy, been promised that you could go somewhere—some place that you had always wanted to go to—and you could hardly wait until the time had come to start? That's just how I felt about that kid. "The street cars didn't seem to be going fast enough, and I walked all the way like a madman, and when at last I found the house, Tom, I nearly lost my nerve. I hesitated a moment before I started toward the door, uncertaint what to do or say, for you know, I wasn't used to talking to babies. "Tom, you remember when we were kids. You remember how we used to sneak up and ring somebody's door bell, and then run away. Well, that's just how I felt as I pushed the electric button; and I actually believe I was sliding away when the door suddenly opened and about the prettiest little woman I ever saw bade me 'good evening.' " "Why, er—er—is—" I began, and Tom, on the square, I just couldn't get any farther. I looked at the woman, and she stood patiently waiting; just the faintest trace of a smile at my embarrassment. Finally, in sheer desperation, I blurted out: "Is Mary here?" "Oh, this is Mr. Simmons. Come right in; I'll go and get her,' was the answer I received. And she knew me, old fellow, knew me and called me by name. Well, 'was in for it then, and my nerve came back. I followed in after her and when she left me standing in the little parlor I wondered what would come next. "You know, old pal, somehow I had a sneaking feeling all along that some of the boys had put up a little job on me; but when that little woman, with her sweet smile, said she would go and get Mary I knew it was me for the kid sure. And you ought to have seen me shiver a moment after she left me, when the laughter of a crowd of children at play came dimly to my ears. Tom, you are a father and I suppose you know how it sounds; I suppose that for you it has a different meaning, something infinitely sweet and all that; but for me—your staid, old bachelor friend—as I stood there in that little room, well, it just seemed to me that in about two minutes I'd be the head of a ready-made family or I'd jump through the window and let the insane commissioners do their worst. "Shortly I heard steps in the hallway and the lisping question of a child; and Tom—Tom, you know how it used to make you feel when your father came after you with a switch and you stood waiting, wanting to run and afraid to—well, old man, that's just the way I felt. Then the woman came in and she brought with her the sweetest child I have ever seen—a pretty little girl, seven years old. It was all up with me. I had never thought the child really lived; that it was all a bluff; but when confronted by her living presence I wilted. And as the woman came toward me she said: "Mr. Simmons, we conduct the Home for Little Wanderers—an orphanage—an independent institution that looks to the individual charity of the people for its support. We thought that the bachelors in the city, being, of course, without children themselves, ought to support at least one child apiece; so we secured the names of all the bachelors and assigned each one a child. Mary was assigned to you. Now you see how I knew your name when you asked for her. "Now, Mr. Simmons, you'll see that Mary receives better treatment, won't you—you'll be a sort of foster father to her? And you're not one bit mad, are you?" "Tom, what would you have done if you were in my place then? That it's old sport; that's it exactly, and that is just the very thing I did. I was beaten at a new game, and I smiled in spite of myself. It was all so simple, so very simple, that I forgot all the worry of three days as I laid a couple of tens in the matron's hand and told her to look for a check each month for Mary. "And Tom, would you believe it, that kid just rushed up to me, threw her little arms about my neck and kissed me. You know what it is to have little girls kiss you—you're a father. I didn't then, and I guess I must have showed it, for the least little laugh escaped the matron. There was some thing about it that I had never known before—just a tinge of heaven, I suppose. I felt so queer; there was a hump in my throat—ah, well, Tom, there's no use telling you—you know. (Copyright, 1906, by Daily Story Pub.

Successful dressmakers often work on pay trains. Things generally come to him who goes after them. It is a pretty poor specimen who cannot follow a trail. "Yes," said the aeronaut, "I certainly had a fly time." The worst abuse you can give a bad man is to tell the truth. Those people who cannot forget themselves are easily forgotten. Almost any kind of a man is good at the beginning of an enterprise. The man who works for nothing is not as silly as the one who plays at a loss. Reform, without selfishness, is one of the things necessary to hasten the millennium. The sure way to keep friends is not to use them except in cases of dire necessity. The greatest penalty that follows foolishness is the food for thought that it furnishes. The difference between a prophet and a croaker is often too small to be noted by him who runs. While charity does cover a multitude of sins, it is often responsible for encouraging a lot of others to grow. The only way for a young man to succeed is to accept himself in earnest, no matter how ridiculous such a course may seem. Not the least of the afflictions that always accompany a great public calamity, is the fact that it gives a great many commonplace people a chance to break into print.—Uncle Dick, in Madison Journal. WHY QUARREL AT ALL? Life is too short for quarrels. If you see that a certain topic irritates your sister, avoid it as much as possible. Keep away from people's pet abominations, avoid subjects they are sensitive about. Our time should be spent in letting our dear ones know how much we love them instead of hurting them by unkind words. Don't quarrel with anyone if you can possibly help it. One quarrelsome member of a household can poison the entire home atmosphere. Quarrels between sisters or brothers and sisters are only too frequent. A little patience and forbearance are all that is necessary to stop them. And don't quarrel with your friends, because they won't put up with it, and some fine day you will awake to the fact that you have no friends. There is no pain equal to that of being unable to forgive because it is too late. It is only ugly, stubborn pride that keeps you from asking or granting forgiveness. Remember that "Many go forth in the morning who have never come back at night," and never let any of your dear ones go off in the morning with hard feelings between you and them. MAN. Men love themselves first. What man has done, man can undo. Trust no man, and no man will trust you. A man is never measured until he is married. Money makes the man go—or come, or stay, or anything. Dead men are not always as white as they are painted. Man must have some devil in him to be worth saving. A man's brain grows weaker the closer it grows to his mouth. Man wants but little here below, if it is more than the other man has. Man was created before woman, so that she might always have the chance to get ahead of him.—The Bohemian. Eagles to Milwaukee. The Fraternal Order of Eagles of Kansas City and the State of Kansas have selected the Chicago & Alton Ry., in connection with the Goodrich Steamship Co., as the official route to Milwaukee for their Grand Aerie Meeting, week of Aug. 13th. Three special trains with the Eagles and their friends will leave Kansas City at 7:15 P. M. Saturday, Aug. 11th, over the Alton to Chicago, taking the great Whaleback steamer "Christopher Columbus" to Milwaukee. This will be a great trip for the Eagles, and it is expected there will be an extremely large turnout, the Eagles of Kansas, Colorado and other western States having been invited and signified their intention of joining the Kansas City contingent. For the occasion the lowest rate in years is in effect: $8.90 round trip to Chicago, and $1.50 round trip Chicago to Milwaukee on the boat, making a round trip rate of $9.50 from Kansas City, which tickets are on sale Aug 11th, 12th and 13th, good returning until Aug. 22nd. This rate has been tendered all lines west of Kansas City to be used as a basing rate from this point in order that everyone west of Kansas City wishing to make the trip may take advantage of the low rate from here. POINTED PARAGRAPHS If you want to make a thief angry call him a thief. A dressmaker knows a lot about the seamy side of life. A bank isn't necessarily solid because it has a stone front. Anyway, the pessimist doesn't bore us half to death with his alleged jokes. He who knocks and runs away may live to become an expert hammer wielder. Happiness has a peculiar way of appearing and disappearing unexpectedly. It's an easy matter to sympathize with the poor man when your pockets are empty. A social call isn't synonymous with what women call each other when they are angry. When a lazy man comes home to supper he likes to tell his wife how hard he worked all day. A man who can make an after-dinner speech, but won't, is less tiresome than a man who can't but will. No doubt men are just as foolish as women, but you seldom hear of a man suing a woman for breach of promise. Only an intelligent woman can spread a stepladder so that it won't collapse and leave her clinging to the top shelf of a closet.—Chicago Daily News. MAY IRWIN'S EPIGRAMS. Love is blind, but marriage is an eye-opener. A soft answer cometh from a soft person. I'd rather have my son blush than to turn pale. Money makes the mare go; vanity holds the reins. Don't marry an automobile wife on a wheelbarrow salary. Where there is so much smoke there must be some one smoking. Before marriage a woman is a man's ideal; after marriage it's a new deal. The better part of discretion is knowing when to go 'way back and sit down. He who dies pays all debts; but you had better not let the devil sign the receipts. I'd rather be right than an insurance president; and I'd rather be healthy than Rockefeller. Never lose your temper; remember, your husband will never discover you have one until you lose it. Consider well the source of things; sponge cake isn't made from sponges, and a family jar is never used in preserving the peace. v0 1: Wont Poze ee 7 we ke LN / WD a Me age : tte coven or ARNT, Baie ck see ss Bauscon 78 oe i SEWte Wane ee ne ; ae ee Bes ovran sunrace 19 SS ie Zo fourm een = = ee a p eats a ~ PR eee ee sony = ES aor BALLON FRO Boia | ee SSS ee a = # pee es a Se ee i: Wiss te tony = nu | SOS aie ec Scare ere eee mmeemmer Ty | SZ Prvacee Soe es APES sees pease eee "Nees Ree af TA Whe a Sree , i 1 Se / ‘| — gone Bene, [Nike Cea Soci Tae Ra NORTE aM ag entetor ancwon parte Ee ne oe aw See EN ree Braaran’aratmars Ea cee DIAGRAM OF THE WELLMAN AIR SHIP. Showing the equipment of the expedition, and how it is arranged in the car, and showing a section of the By the aif of that most marvelous modern invention Walter Wellman, Washington correspondent of the Chi- cago Record-Herald and noted arctic explorer, 1s making a third attempt to reach the north pole. Of the count- less number of attempts to conquer the elements of the far north few, if any, have ever excited the interest of this expedition of Mr. Wellman and his chosen companions. It is this thing of going about tt In @ new way that lifts the Wellman expedition to a plane high above all previous efforts in point of interest that places it In a class by itself. The devices fixed upon by Mr. Wellman were selected because they were the latest offerings science has made which were available for the purposes of the expedition. The two expeditions made by Mr. Wellman, one in 1894 end the other fn 1897-98, like those of all other ex- plorers, were made on the theory that the pole could be reaghed by sledges drawn by dogs. The first of these ex- peditions was made from Spitzbergen and the second from Franz Joseph Land.. The same obstacles encoun- tered by other explorers were met by Mr. Wellman, and the trials were fu- tile, except in that they furnished the explorer with a comprehensive knowl- edge of conditions both atmospheric and by land and water. It was this fund of information that suggested the methods to be employed in the forthcoming effort. From an easily reached base of op- erations in northern Spitzbergen, lat- {tude 80 degrees 50 minutes, the dis- tance to the mathematical pole is but 550 miles, making the flight there and return 1,100 geographical miles. Cal- culating ‘the distance at 1,200 miles, there would be required but 100 hours of airship motoring at the rate of 12 miles an hour. Santos-Dumont repeat- edly had made 19 to 23 miles an hour with small airships equipped with cor- respondingly small motors. The Le- bandy ship had made 25 miles an hour, and its average speed through a long series of flights had been above 20 miles an hour, Under all conditions In which airship flights have been made a speed of from 12 to 15 miles an hour has been easily obtainable. Description of Ship. A general description of the airship 4s as follows: In length it 1s 164 feet. Its greatest diameter is 52 feet. The materials of which the bag is made are pure rubber and silk, with the top of the bag a perfectly smooth surface, which will not accumulate frost, snow or sleet, and thereby decrease the ascensional power. By a simple device provision has been made for the removal of snow from the top of the ship. ‘The propelling power of*the airship lies in three motors, of the inner com- bustion type and using ‘gasoline for fuel. The combined horsepower of the motors {s 190, although the con: tract called for wmly 75. The largest motor 18 70 horsepower, and in calm tir provides @ speed of from 12 to 14 tailes an hour, With all motors work- ing, the ship w’ll be driven 19 miles an hour in calms, ‘The surface of the hag measures 21,- 098 square feet, and the volume is 224.- 225 cuble feet. The hydrogen with q@hich abe bag ix inflated is made of sulphuric acid and fron shavings, and 165 tons of these materials, carefully selected, were shipped to the exped!- tion's base.on Dane's island. The as- censlonal power of the inflated bag is 15,800 pounds. The weight of the ship itself and its equipment and crew is 7,000 pounds, leaving approximately 8,000 pounds for cargo. The gasoline carried weighs 5,500, which 1s equal to @ power endurance of 150 hours’ mo- toring with the 70 horsepower motor in full operation. At the rate of from /12 to 15 miles an hour this means that the airship will be able to travel 1,800 miles in calm air, or far enough to carry the airship from the base of sup- [piles to the pole and back and then |back to the pole again. What the Car Will Carry. Suspended from the bag 1s the car, ‘or basket, which contains the motors, ‘gasoline supply, cabins for the explor. ers, motor sledges, scientific apparatus jand food supply. This last item -welghs 800 pounds and 1s contained in a chest containing 16 cubie feet. When it is stated that this supply is suf- clent to nourish five men for 75 days some idea of the great economy of space being practiced may be gained. Of course, the disposition of the weight in the car is such as to insure perfect balance under normal conditions. The gasoline reservoirs are four in number, two at each extreme end of the car. In the engine-room is placed, besides the motors, the wireless telegraph ap- paratus, The car Is 52 feet long by six feet by eight fect in its other di- mensions. Its construction represents the maximum of strength and the min- {mum of weight, being entirely of steel tubing. The power from the motors is trans- mitted to a shaft at either end of which Is a serew propeller with broad blades, which offer the greatest. eff cleney. The forward screw is 18% feet in diameter and the rear screw four feet less in diameter. There 1s but one rudder, which is above the car ‘and below the rear end of the bag ‘This rudder is operated from the en- ‘gine-room with a simple steering ap- ‘paratus, Below the car there {s suspended a steel lifeboat, nonsinkable and noneap- sizable, but of very light weight, This ‘doat represents the precaution against the chance of the destruction of the ship or its sinking into open water. Into it are packed when not in use the cables for the guide rope and the retarder, two of the most Important ‘attachments of the airship. In the construction of both bag and car the utmost care has been exercised and only the highest possible quality of materials used, A i€sid system of material inspection was maintained to reduce to the minimum the chances of flawed materials inadvertently being used. Such, In brief, is the airship in which will be made the most remark- able journey in history, It represents the highest degree of skill known to the machinieal work. No principle in the construction of the ship itself or of its propelling appliances has been fol- lowed which has not been proved to be sound and thoronghly practicable, ‘The monster bag and its attachments do not stand for a theory any more than does the automobile that skims the boulevards. The automobile breaks down at times and becomes ut- terly useless, but the proportion of efficiency is great enough to make au- tomobile construction one of the big industries of the country. The Well- man airship holds the same relation to the possible high-speed airship of the future as the automobile in its Present stage wf development does to the possible non-breakable automobile of the future. It 1s possible that the preliminary flights or trials at Dane's island may Indicate weaknesses or faults; but if such is the case the fa- cilities at the base for remedying them are all-suficient. The airship that starts to the pole will be a well-be- haved, easily managed ship of the requisite speed when the start is made. If It develops untractable traits after that it will be because conditions arise which cannot be foreseen or because machinery breaks down, a contingency which arises whenever machinery {8 used. Mr. Wellman’s Own Views. It is interesting to note that in the gossipy discussions of the venture by men who pretend to know nothing of aeronautics nor the polar regions, the two objections most often urged are the two which caused Mr. Wellman and his associates in the construction and outfitting of the ship the most per- plexity. ‘The manner in which he pro: poses to overcome one of these dangers ‘—that from fast, adverse winds—has ‘been explained by Mr. Wellman, thus: “We have already explained how we ‘hope to make progress with our air ship by means of our motors and screws when the winds are favorable in direction, and also when they ar unfavorable, but not of too great ve locity. What are we going to do wher they blow adversely and also to strongly to permit us to advance witt the motors? “This brings us to one of the funda mental features of the method, whict we have adopted. It is this: “1, With favorable winds or unfa |vorable winds of relatively small ve locities—motor at a proper speed o} [from ten to 17 geographical miles per hour, with 12 miles per hour as per. “haps the mean speed. | “2, With unfavorable winds of high. er velocities—stop the motors and throw out upon the ice sheet over which we are sailing a dragging an- chor or retardateur—a device calculat- ed to offer the maximum of resistance in proportion to its weight—and by this means to drift slowly with the ad: verse wind, “Assuming that this method works out as well in practice as in theory— and there are many reasons for beliey: ing that it will do so to at least a fair degree—we have then this principle: “1, That the winds that blow with our course, directly or obliquely, ad¢ thelr movements to the advance which we expect to make with our motor: and help us so much on our way. “2, But contrary winds of velocities greater than our motor speed, ors great that motoring against” hem /would be an uneconomical use of fucl |are not losses to be deducted at full |Yalue from the progress of the alr ship, because the influence of such | winds is largely neutralized by the ac tion of the dragging anchor or re | tardateur, “In other words, all of the value of favorable winds is placed on the credit side of our ledger or log, while onls a part of the value of the unfavoranle "winds has to be written down on the | debit side, “And the significance of this, in thie last analysis, is that it will require a most extraordinary combination —o! circumstances to prevent us getting more help than hindrance from the ‘winds, The expedition ts distinctly Ameri can, for all the mechanical ald that foreign countries have given in the preparations, and for the deep interest they are taking in the project. It ts an American journalist, backed by an American newspaper, to whom credit ‘Is due for the bold and intelligent con- ception. It fs typically American that all of sclence and the arts that other nations had to offer has been mar- ‘shaled under the American flag for the ‘aerial journey Into. the unknown ‘north. “The giant airship has been ‘christened tbe “America,” and, If the ‘next few weeks shall Gemonstrate that ‘the plans of Mr. Wellman were well founded and the explorer shall sail triumphantly to the pole, the first act will be the dropping of the American Stars and Stripes over the spot which has lured nearly a thousard brave m2: ‘to their deaths.

N. 1, Kansas City, No. 31, 100@ From Lisbon the census figures of Portugal taken in December, 1900, and just published. The population was 5,016,267, including the Azores. The percentage of illiteracy was 71 per cent. for the males and 85 per cent. for the females. The government, however, is bestirring itself on the educational question. The foreign residents in Portugal numbered 33; 384, of whom 66 were Americans. Easter Novelty. A novelty in Easter eggs is one of glass that is electrically lighted. Such eggs are made in white, of frosted glass and in various colors, to glow when the light is turned on in them. They are lighted by means of a flexible conductor which may be attached to any electric light fixture and which is made long enough to permit placing them wherever it may be desired. Burmese Wives. The Burmese woman must make an excellent wife. A Singapore paper says that her highest ambition is to maintain her husband in lordly idleness and to support him with abundant funds for cook fighting, bullock cart racing and gambling. And many of the Burmese women do big deals in timber, buying up in advance the "paddy" crops of a whole district, and so on, on a scale that requires big financing. Important Questions.

A Christian grows lovely by just loving—by going on in love of Christ. It has been fabled from old times that the graceful swan was changed from a most ugly bird into its present beauty merely because of its constancy to its mate. But oh, how Christian fact is sure to outrun classic fable! The soul grows wondrously lovely by just loving, by pouring out its faithful affection, and all the more so when the object of its affection is the Lord Jesus Christ, the One altogether lovely. We behold His face, Jesus' face, as in a glass, and are changed into the same image, from glory to glory, even as the Spirit of the Lord. But the result is permanent. The soul gets more and more set in the way of holiness, in the beauty that holiness brings. "Beloved, now are we the children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that if we shall be manifested we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him even as He is; and everyone that hath this hope set on Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.—Rev. G. B. F. Hallock, D. D. "Lo! It Is Nigh Thee." The surprise of life always comes in finding how we have missed the things that have lain nearest to us; how we have gone far away to seek that which was close by our side all the time. Men who live best and longest are apt to come, as the result of all their living, to the conviction that life is not only richer, but simpler than it seemed to them at first. Men go to vast labor seeking after peace and happiness. It seems to them as if it were far away from them, and if they must go through vast and strange regions to get it. They must pile up wealth, they must see every possible danger of mishap guarded against, before they can have peace. Upon how many old men has it come with a strange surprise that peace could come to rich or poor only with contentment as at the very end of life! They have made a long journey for their treasure, and when at last they stoop to pick it up, lo! it is shining beside the footprint which they left when they set out to travel in a circle.—Phillips Brooks. Why Do We Condemn? Because another is "all wrong" is no reason for our condemning him. In the first place we cannot know that he is as unworthy as he may seem, and in the second place our own records are entirely too frail. No one of us would dare to be judged by our fellows strictly on our "merits"—the man who says or thinks he would is most to be pitied. And the failure in another that we are tempted to condemn harshly may be nearer victory than failure as God sees and knows. Earth sees the failures, because heaven sees the victories and the struggles. It was of heaven that Faber sang: There's no place where earthly fallings Have such kindly judgment given. The only Man who never failed came not to condemn men, but to save them. Is it because we suppose that we can do better than He did to help others that we condemn so freely? Be All You Can. Let us do all the business we can. If we can't be a lighthouse, let us be a tallow candle. Someone said, "I can't be anything more than a farthing rushlight." Well, if you can't be more be that; that is well enough. Be all you can. What makes the Dead Sea dead? Because it is all the time receiving, never giving out anything. You go every Sunday and hear good sermons and think that is enough. You are all the time receiving these grand truths but never give them out. When you hear it, go and scatter the truth abroad. Instead of having one minister to preach to a thousand people, this thousand ought to take a sermon and spread it till it reaches those that never go to church or chapel. Instead of having a few, we ought to have thousands using the precious talents that God has given them.—D. L. Moody. Don't Get Old One of the worst delusions that ever crept into a middle-aged man's mind is the conviction that he has done his best work, that he is growing old and must soon give place to younger men. —Success Magazine.
