M. E. church still try to act as superintendent with her little children locked up at home? Rev. Winroe of the Second Baptist church surprised his members last Sunday night by resigning. Rev. Fitts will not have to resign when the grand jury gets through with him we hope. What was the matter with the young people who went to the country last week? It is reported that they all came back crooked with the exception of Miss Lucy Bush and Mrs. Noland. Rev. Winroe had an excellent meeting at 3 o'clock last Sunday. Attend the league at the A. M. E. church. It is progressing nicely. Miss Nelle Ragland has returned home from New York. Parents you cannot be too particular with whom you allow your girls and boys to associate, neither can you be too particular about what paper to subscribe, for. So subscribe for the Rising Son and find out what your own race of people are doing. Rev. Howard attended the Grand Lodge last week, but he has returned and is still working for Uncle Sam. Prof. Coleman spent two days visiting in our city last week. Mrs. Emma Salbury and Misses Richardson of Kansas City, Kan., visited in our city Sunday. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. Under the able management of President B. F. Allen Lincoln Institute is recognized on all sides as one of the leading schools of the country for the professional training of teachers along the lines of higher education, manual and industrial education, etc., and students fro mall sections of the country seek its fostering care. They are here from Los Angeles on the West, from Mobile and New Orleans on the South. A fine set of young men and women evidently with a purpose in life. Such young peo- ple are the hope and inspiration of the race. Exactly three weeks after the close of the most successful summer school in its history, Lincoln Institute opened for the regular session, Monday, September3, as scheduled in its catalog. The opening was unusually large and already at the beginning of the second week is approaching three hundred. On Sunday afternoon the student related during the religious service many of their "summer experiences," how they obtained money to return, etc., and it was an occasion of much interest, All of the departments are in good running order and everything bids fair far a most profitable school year. RTPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN TEXT- BOOK. A departure has been made in the Republican Campaign Text-Book just issued in that its contents are wholly devoted to live issues, and these are treated in the briefest possible way, yet comprehensively enough to include all necessary facts and figures. First, there is a general statement of the issues of 1906, followed by a brief review of Republican legislation in general and the work of the Fifty-ninth Congress in particular. The Railroad Rate Law, Pure Food Law, Free Alcohol Law, Employers' Liability Law and the Meat Inspection portion of the Agricultural Appropriation Law are given in full, as is Chairman Tawney's clear explanation of the appropriations. The Labor question is next fully presented, followed by Representative Watson's exposition of Anti-Trust proceedings. About one hundred pages are given to the Tariff, Agriculture and Manufacturers, and the tables showing the various phases of industrial activity. Among other subjects treated under the tariff are: Protection and Free Trade; Customs Revenue; Foreign Commerce; Home Market and Internal Trade Wages and Prices; Export Discounts; Reciprocity; Free Hides; Revision, etc., etc., etc. Some half hundred tables five official and authoritative figures down to the latest possible date. The work of the President and administration is then briefly presented, the condition and status of the Philippines, the Panama Canai, the Navy, Postal Service, Irrigation, etc., etc. Scattered throughout the book are quotations from President Roosevelt and other Republican leaders. Among these is the extract from Senator Hanna's speech where he used the "stand pat" expression, it being the only instance in the Text-Book where the words "stand pat" are used. A page is given to Mr. Bryan and his views, with the comments of the New York World. A so-called "Prosperity Postscript" is added giving treasury conditions, trade reports, etc., down to August 1. For the first time in a political campaign, the Text-Book will have a general circulation, as together with other literature, it will be sent on receipt of one dollar by John C. Eversman, Assistant Treasurer, 1133 Broadway, New York. Antistrenuous. Rickett—I say, Easyun, how did you happen to marry a widow?

Principal of Garrison School. Of the many principals who have so greatly contributed to the educational world, Prof. R. T. Garrison occupies the single position of being the first promoter of the Manual Training School idea in this city. Well may he be called the father of manual training in this city. He is the original organizer of Garrison School in the Pleasant Green Baptist Church. From that time on the school has constantly increased in number until the present enrollment exceeds 500 pupils. Garrison was the first school in the city to have normal training and the only colored ward school to have domestic science. Prof. Coles has been highly praised by Supt. Greenwood for his splendid work along that particular line. Garrison School with Attucks were the only two colored ward schools to be awarded a gold medal and a certificate for efficiency in grade work. Garrison School has three buildings and a corps of twelve teachers. Mr Coles has been principal of Garrison Book, Tray or Embroidery Holder. The invention shown in the accompanying drawing has other uses besides that for which it is being utilized by the young lady, being provided, in addition to the embroidery hoops, with a tray bookholder and writing outfit. The object is to produce a device which can be attached to a chair, table or bed rail, with an adjusting clamp to support the frame in a convenient position for embroidering, reading, writing or for any work for which a tray may be used. In the picture, the embroidery frame, consisting of the two usual interlocking hoops, may be tilted at any desired angle or rotated to bring any portion of the pattern nearer the operator. The tray provided has a flange on one edge to support a book, which can be elevated until in a convenient position A woman seated in a chair, holding a palette and palette knife. about 20 years and a teacher in the city for about 25 years, having taught at Lincoln school. He has attended school with such notables as Booker T. Washington, Kelley Miller and others, having finished one of his courses at the famous Hampden Institute. As a public man he has been an ardent participant in every vital event in which the negro is concerned. Prof. Coles in addition to being a K. of P., occupies the honorable position of Grand Treasurer of the Masonic Lodge in Missouri, having been unanimously reelected to that place a the last grand session, and he is also a strong candidate for Grand Master at the next session. Prof. R. T. Coles has done such creditable work for his race in this community that we cannot mention it all in this space. But the negroes in this city believes if his work in the future will be as good as it has been in the past, we may rest assured that in a short time the enemies of our race will desist in their opposition to our advancement. for the eyes, and is attached to the fixed ring by three spring clips triangularly mounted on the tray. For kitchen use this invention can be made to support a strainer or dish, and will be especially useful when looking over berries to hold an extra receptacle adjacent for receiving the cleaned fruit. The inventor is N. G. Vosler of Fort Collins, Colo. Prices for Poultry Products. From Farmers' Review: In a recent issue the Farmers' Review asked its readers to report on the prices they are receiving for poultry and poultry products. In reply I will say, we are receiving as follows: Eggs, 13 cents; hens, 9 cents per pound; broilers, according to size, $1.25 to 16 cents per pound. In other words, we receive within one and one-half cent per pound of the price quoted in the St. Louis daily report of the market. Our country is traversed in every nook and corner by huckster wagons, and the products are paid for at the farmer's door. It does not, therefore, pay the farmer to take them to market.—A. L. Hamerton, Clark County, Illinois. CLASSIFIED SUMMER RESORTS Bakers to Cakes, Pa. Jewelers to Gem, Ind. Printers to Agate, Cal. Poets to Parnassus, Pa. Perfumers to Aroma, Ill. Mendicants to Begg, La. Bankers to Deposit, N. Y. Actors to Starr City, Ark. Plumbers to Faucett, Mo. A Newport Vogue. For the season at Newport the princess style of gown will be the favorite. The only difference in the gowns for morning and afternoon wear is the quality of the material. The finest of dimities and organdles will be used for morning wear. The polka dot pattern upon a white background will be a popular one; also a dainty powdering of pompadour rosebuds upon the white ground. Jacket of Black Taffeta. This charming little jacket is of black toffea tucked in clusters and perforated in a small neat design showing the white satin lining. It is 1 fashioned with a novel basque or skirt which appears only at the side and back, and the large collar is of embroidered batiste over a still larger collar of embroidered taffeta. The sleeves are very wide and flaring at the wrist and have double turned back cuffs of taffeta and batiste. A belt of folded taffeta completes the jacket, which is a model for spring wear. All the tucks are stitched with Corticelli sewing silk. A novel feature for blouse jackets as well as for Eton skirt jackets and dressy garments in general is the jabot vest effect. It has been stated that some of the foremost Paris houses will accentuate the drooping shoulder effect both in waists and in outdoor garments. Quite a feature in jackets is the long coat collar of taffeta which are variously enhanced with large collars and revers of lace or of ribbon run embroidered linen. White Serge for Yachting Suits. Fine white serge makes the most fashionable yachtting suit with stitched bands of the same material covering each seam, a stitched hip yoke, and a short jacket with pale blue glace silk revers. Little Hints. Parisiennes will not desert the becoming Eton jacket. Trails shortened at the back are shown on many new skirts. Some of the hats in chrysanthemum braid in natural color remind one of a thatched roof. Small tassels are a novel notion, either in gilt or black, and many as pendants from medallions, quite popular. Blouses are prettier and daintier than ever and invariably they are made so by means of the fine handiwork put upon them. The wide-brimmed hat drooping in front and at the back, with loops and ends for a finish, will be worn in midsummer with the muslin gowns. Dark, rich brown and crimson cloth gowns, with a very deep border, like that of a cashmere shawl, set on the skirt or overskirt, are in high favor with exclusive French women. Lozenges of lace, basques of lace, and lace collars are all the rage. Double box-plaited backs are seen on some of the new skirts. Many of the new tulle bows are spotted with chenille or velvet spots. Yoke effects, made of fillet, point de Paris and all the favorite summer laces, are very smart, as also are those formed of tiny blas folds in fancy scroll patterns, held together with fagoting in white or colors. NUMBER 8 PROF. J. DALLAS BOWSER. Principal of Attucks School. The Attacks is a newly built grade school for colored pupils. It was erected at a cost of $150,000. There are eight teaching rooms, a manual training room and a library room. There are a corps of nine teachers and ten including the veteran professor, J. D. Bowser. The school has won quite a reputation throughout the state for its splendid work in carrying off the gold medal at the World's fair in St. Louis and being awarded a certificate of efficiency. The school was named after Crispus Attucks, the first martyr of the American Revolution, who was killed in Boston, March 5, 1770, while leading the ciphers against the British soldiers. He was the only Negro in the fray. The conflict is known as the Boston massacre. The Attucks school is the third largest in enrollment, having over 500 pupils. Pref. Bowser is the oldest teacher, black or white in point of service, in the city. Such scholars as W. W. Yates, J. Sillar Harris and Minor Bass went as pupils to this veteran teacher. He has been connected with the public schools for 38 years. He first taught at Niath and Charlotte, in old Lincoln school building. Prof. Bowsmer's special leasing is toward philosophy and mathematics. He has passed every examination that has been given in the state, holding one life diploma, one state and several others representing different examinations. He is one of the most profound thinkers throughout the entire state, taking rank with Walter Williams of Columbia university. He is the author of several poems and has written a masterful paper called, "Some Unsolved World Problems," that has set the entire state gossiping and asking the where fores, and whys. This beautiful school is located at Nineteenth and Woodland. The Negroes are indeed proud of the soil from whence he sprang; as he is a great gift to struggling Negro humanity. KANSAS CITY. KANSAS. Dr. S. H. Thompson was called to his home in West irginia last Thursday owing to the death of his father who was shot. He was a farmer, born and reared in West Virginia, and leaves a widow, five sons and six daughters. One son, Dr. J. R. Thompson, is also a resident of the West Side, adn is practicing with his brother. Another son, Frank, is in the drug store. Dr. Anthony went to Memphis, Tenn., last Thursday and returned with his wife who has been visiting friends. Mrs. Anderson has been very sick, but is on the speedy road to recovery. Her many friends wish her an early and complete recovery. BITS OF PHILOSOPHY. "Ask and ye shall receive"—if you have the price. Gallantry is not flattery, but a little flattery does not spoil it. A town is never so dead that a circus can not put life into it. People often have more money than they need, but very few of them more than they want. Around the Metropolis Interesting Gossip Gathered in New York—War On Between Mrs. Leslie Carter Payne and Miss Norma Munro—Lillian Russell to Enter Horse Racing Game. NEW YORK—The controversy between Mrs. Leslie Carter Payne, the actress, and Miss Norma Leslie Munro, the reputedly wealthy daughter of the late millionaire publisher, Norman Leslie Munro, continues to excite interest among the dilettante friends of these two women who have furnished more space, continuously, for the newspapers than probably any two other women in New York. Unquestionably there is a sentiment favorable to the actress' side of the question, for, while the emotional Mrs. Carter Payne is not intensely popular, the people who have been acquainted with the career of the two women in the present controversy are also conversant with the recent allegations made against Miss Munro by Mrs. Robert Osborn of playhouse and shirt-waist fame.

No room for doubt remains that Mrs. Carter Payne and her recent "dearest friend" are at daggers' points. Further sensational developments are promised when Miss Munro returns from Bar Harbor and Mrs. Carter Payne from Shelter island to their apartments adjoining each other in the building owned by the Munroc estate.

It has been known ever since Mrs. Carter's romantic marriage to the young actor, William Louis Payne, that the alliance was bitterly represented by the exacting Miss Munro. That the two women, once like Juno's swans, "together always and inseparable," had separated has been known, too, for weeks to their mutual friends, but no one was prepared for the shock which followed the court action against the actress, brought in the name of Miss Munro's mother, who is executrix of the Munro estate. This came like a bolt of lightning from a comparatively clear sky. Mrs Leslie Carter Payne, in arrears for rent of her apartments on West Fifty-ninth street, owned by Miss Munro's mother, has been sued for back rent and served with papers in dispossess proceedings. Furthermore, the only thing that saved Mrs. Payne from ignominious ejectment was the haste with which she paid up. ro's claim against the actress was for $1,593.52, deged indebtedness for five months as a tenant of apartments. it brought to secure this claim were served upon supremity scene of emotionalism worthy the highco.

When sufficient strength returned Mrs. Payne hurried downtown in her automobile to the offices of her counsel, Edward Lauterbach. The lawyer was equal to the emergency, and within two hours the Munro proceedings had been dropped. Mrs. Carter Payne had settled, but she did not pay the full demand—only $825—insisting that she owed only three months' rent and defying the Munro to prove another penny against her. Lawyer Henry Bogert Clark, representing Mrs. Munro, thought hard for half an hour, then accepted the proffered compromise and dropped the legal proceedings. As the case now stands Mrs. Carter Payne is free to remain in possession for the time being. But the matter will not rest here. Friends of both women agree that this clash is but the bugle call to battle; that Mrs. Carter Payne will speedily proceed to even up matters with Miss Norma, and that the latter will retaliate with a bomb loaded with secrets destined to scandalize white night circles. Speaking of an actress brings to mind the fact that Lillian Russell has decided to seek honors on the turf this fall. The favorite commendene will not desert the footlights but she has been imbued with the racing fever and has decided to try her hand at the game. Lillian's colors will be carried by horses bred by herself in England. When Miss Russell went abroad more than a year ago she expected to stay in Europe for two or three years at least, and it was then that she concluded to become a rival of Mrs. Langtry for racing honors in England. She wanted to race horses of her own breeding and John S. McDonald was commissioned to buy a number of highbred mares.

Stewart had obtained a divorce in Sioux Falls from William Rhinelander Stewart it became current gossip at once that Mrs. Stewart would soon be the wife of James Henry Smith, known as "Silent Smith," whose fortune is estimated anywhere from $40,000,000 to $100,000,000. The divorce decree gives Mrs. Stewart the custody of her daughter, Anita, until the latter becomes of age. William Rhinelander Stewart, Jr., is given into the custody of the father. The troubles between the Stewarts reached an acute stage some time after Miss Anita Stewart made her debut at a dinner dance given by the husband and wife in their town home on West Fifty-seventh street in January, 1905. This was the last social function given by the couple. Mr. Stewart, who is a man of 54, is now at Bar Harbor. He is studious and serious, and he the frivolous side of life.

"T'wu'd be a fine thing," went on Policeman Flyna, "fr me to go ma-archin' to th' station with me wife an' me neigh-bor's wife. Oho! I think I see mesilf. 'What's th' charge? says th' judge.

"Ye c'u'dn' arrist me fr that," asserted Mrs. Flyn. "F'r why? "F'r because I'm a po-lisman's wife," was the confident reply, and then, considering that matter settled, she returned to the charge. "I'll tell ye what. Barney Flyn," she said, "you'll make that woman ha-ave a civil tongue in her head, or yell ha-ave no hot coffee waitin' fr ye whin ye come home anny more.

"M-m-m, well," replied Policeman Flynn, apparently brought to terms by this threat, ye-insist, I'll ha-ave it out with him. They's no ma-an walks that I'm afraid to go ferninist, but a woman—" He ended the sentence with a shake of his head. "Give it to him good," urged Mrs. Flynn. "She's been threatn'nin' to tell him to knock ye-er head off. Give it to him in th' neck." "Tis there I aim to put it," said Policeman Flynn. The matter being thus settled, nothing remained but to carry out the plan, and Policeman Flynn straightway hunted up Dugan. They shook hands in in a guarded sort of way, like two watchful prizefighters and then the policeman remarked, casually: "Th' good woman do be ha-avin' some wor-rds with ye-er wife." "I heard it it," replied Dugan, and for a minute they eyed each other suspiciously. "Tis a sha-ame to ha-ave quar'ls bechune frl'nds" asserted Policeman Flynn, finally. "If ye'll put a br-rake on ye-er wife's tongue I will do' the same be mine." "If ye'll ha-ave ye-er wife keep her clapper shill," returned Dugan, "I'll ha-ave th' ashpile changed." "Tis done," responded Policeman Flynn, promptly. "Will ye ha-ave a bit iv th' shult at Hogan's ba-ar?" "I will." When Policeman Flynn reached home he announced that the ashes thereafter would be dumped elsewhere. "But don't minton it," he cautioned. "Don't say a wor'rd to Mrs. Dugan. Poor laud, I'm sorry f'r him, an' they's no use r-rubbin' it in." "What did ye do to him?" asked Mrs. Flynn. "I give it to him," answered the patrolman, "first in th' mouth an' thin in th' neck."

The candidacy of the comic playwright, Tristan Bernard, for a seat in the French chamber recalls the facts that within a decade only one poet of repute—Maurice Barres—has been a member of a parliamentary body, and that Lamartine was the only eminent poet who was also a great political orator. The younger Dumas was once asked why he did not try for a seat in the chamber of deputies, to advocate his ideas of divorce. He replied that he might fare like the editor Emile de Girardin, who one day was violently attacked in an assembly. He rushed on the tribunal with furious mien and everybody was eager to hear his answer. He glared for a moment at his tribunal and then exclaimed in stentorian tones: "I shall answer you to-morrow in my journal"—N. Y. Post. SUBURB OF THEIR VERY OWN. Washington Newspaper Men Lay Out a Rural Addition. Washington is about to have a suburb like unto which there is nothing in the records of things suburban. Probably the most remarkable thing about this suburb is that it is not going to be put on the market. That is not its only unique feature, for it is to have no streets, and a man with a bank account of more than three figures will not be welcome within its limits. It is to be a "truly rural" suburb, controlled by a diminutive suburban trust, and if the plans of its builders materialize the civic millennium will have been discovered, and folks living out Chevy Chase way will have a model settlement where great social problems will have been solved, where there will be neither capital nor labor, where politics will be an entity, and the lion and the lamb will lie down together. The trust that is about to give being to this mysterious suburb is composed of Washington newspaper men, who, with a modesty that is paradoxical, request that their names be not published. About six months ago these men—six in number—bought a part of Clean Drinking Manor, just to the eastward of Chevy Chase lake, and adjoining the estate of "Old Nick" Jones. The tract—23 acres in all—is covered with a natural growth of timber; in fact, it is a veritable forest. The six newspaper men have divided the property, and each one is preparing to construct thereon a low, rambling bungalow of logs, with rough shingle roofs, broad porches, dormer windows, and all that sort of thing. Instead of streets, the boys have provided for typical country roads winding through the trees, thus retaining to a marked degree the rustic effect. The material for the bungalows will be cut from the roadways and from the clearings for the building sites. The entire tract is to be fenced in, little pathways will be laid out under the pines and the poplars and the elms, the wilderness of honey-suckles will be left undisturbed, and the members of the suburban trust will settle down, far from the madding crowd. In order to assure a thorougly congenial community, the boys' will not let any one else in on the deal except possibly one or two mutual friends. POWER TAKEN FROM CONSULS Result of Law Providing United States Court in China. The new law passed at the recent session of congress creating a United States court in China greatly diminishes the powers of American consuls in that country. Under the new law the consuls will have jurisdiction over small cases of relatively little significance only, and even in these the right of appeal to the court whose establishment is thus contemplated is guaranteed. Heretofore the consuls have had full jurisdiction over American cases arising in China; that is, in all cases of judicial proceedings. The court is to hold sessions at Canton, Tienstin and Hankow at stated periods, at least once annually. The law gives the consul the same jurisdiction as they have now in civil cases where the value of property involved does not exceed $500 in gold, and in criminal cases where the punishment for the offense charged cannot exceed by law $100 fine or 60 days' imprisonment, or both; but appeals go to the district court established by the act, and may go from there to the supreme court of the United States. The law gives this new court in China supervisory control over the discharge by consuls and vice consuls of the duties prescribed by the laws of the United States relating to the estates of decedents in China. Pies and the Rate Bill. When the rate bill in the senate was being hotly discussed, many of the senators had their remarks printed in pamphlet form. Mr. Tillman being one of the senators who did, Senator Spooner had gotten possession of one of the printed speeches, and was sitting in the senate cloakroom scanning it when Senator Tillman entered. "Hello, Ben," exclaimed the Wisconsin senator, "I wonder you never told me that you had your remarks on the rate bill printed in pamphlet. I happened to see one this morning, and it contained some of the best things I have yet seen in any pamphlet on the subject." "I'm proud you think so," said Mr. Tillman, with a self-satisfied air, "and what were the things that pleased you so much?" "Why," replied Mr. Spooner, "as I passed by a pastry shop this morning on my way down I saw a girl come out with two cherry pies wrapped up in one of your works."—American Spectator.

Put in a chunk of ice, pour in a hooker of rum—Santa Cruz or Jamaica, as you prefer. Then fill the glass with the best ginger ale obtainable and after it is mixed and cold drank and be soothed. Constant Backache, Dropy and Severe Bladder Trouble. Fred, W. Harris, of Chestnut St., Jefferson, Ohio, says: "For over ten years I suffered from kidney disease.

"That was an amusing story about the congressman who caught his bed the fourth time it came around. It reminded me," continued the narrator "of the first time I heard the bed phrase. It happened in Harrisburg, where I was then stationed, and it happened to a legislator whom I shall call Smith. "At the first session Smith became famous for his ability to comfortably carry more liquor than any other man in the legislature. At the opening of the second session some Philadelphiaans got together and put up a job on Smith. They arranged relays, so that when one party had enough another should take hold, and thus keep going until they had Smith down and out. Well, they began with Smith one evening, and after two relays had succumbed their successors noted with much satisfaction that Smith was mixing his beverages—they didn't know that was his custom, and he fooled them all. The bout continued all night and all of the next day, and when the second evening came Smith was the only man able to get away unaided. "Several days later I asked Smith how he got along after he reached his hotel. "When I got into my room," he replied, "I saw a procession of beds coming in my direction. I grabbed the first one, fell into it, and woke up the next afternoon."—Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph.

Many people take it as a joke, but it is a fact that when the hardrissers shampoo white hair they put bluing in the rinsing water and blue the hair just as they would blue sheets and pillow cases. The bluing has the same effect on the hair as on any white materials, giving it fresh, pure-white appearance. Hair that isn't blued often becomes a stale, yellowish, unattractive shade. Expensive Amusement. The gardens of the palace of La Granja, where Alfonso and Victoria spent their honeymoon, is celebrated for its fountains.

The price of a Valencia fan varies from $1.25 to five dollars. Superstition Long Lived. At Lullingborne castle, the Kentish (Eng.) residence of Sir William and Lady Emily Tart-Dyke, is preserved a leather bag of coins.

The legend further enjoins that this matrimonial offertery bag must never be counted, or some dire misfortune will overtake the newly-wed couple. British officials are set a task in the Persian gulf as impossible of accomplishment as that of the Israelites of old; for they are expected to further the interests of their compatriots, maintain the prestige of their country, and right the wrong, with insufficient authority upon the spot and but little hope from home.

Walls of Ancient Cities. The walls of ancient cities were of such massive construction as almost to appall our twentieth century imaginations, accustomed as we are to the steel-frame methods employed in the construction of modern buildings. The walls of Babylon, for instance, were built of solid masonry, 300 feet in height and 85 feet in thickness; and the gates of the city were of a corresponding strength and size. These ancient gates were usually built of immense planks covered with plates of copper and iron and studded with huge iron bolts. Habit Stronger Than Nature. "Habit a second nature! Habit is ten times nature," said Lord Wellington. There was profound philosophy in this remark, and it was philosophy born of experience, for Wellington, who in childhood was considered such a dunce his own mother could not bear to have him near her, became one of the greatest soldiers, diplomats and statesmen of his age by assiduously cultivating the habits of thorough preparation and quick decision.

According to Rupert Hughes, writing in Harper's Weekly, the habit of generalizing from single sentences is far too general and influential. One would think, from some of the generalizations, he says, that the monopolists of money, for example, had also monopolized wickedness. "Yet the news of the day will tell of preachers caught in plagiarism or adultery, of druggists selling poisoned soda water, of bakers vending unclean bread, of theological students cheating." Each trade, he says, has its graft. The fact is that "drawing indictments against classes is as insane and illogical as drawing indictments against nations." There are "burglarars who are chaste, and parsons who are sots; there are rich women who are nuns of asceticism, and poor women who are so vilely extravagant as to bankrupt their ditch-digging keepers; there are poets who are domestic models, and plumbers who are voluptuaries; there are rich men who overwork, and poor men lazy enough to beg; there are millionaires' sons who are normal and athletic, and self-made men who are degenerates; there are robust athletes who are abnormal, and cigarette fiends who are leaders of prog LEADERS OF CU GEN.

Unlike some of his companions, however, when the rebellious half-breed in Saskatchewan called the Indians to their aid he not only refused, but took an active part in the war on the white man's part. He was a peculiarly fine specimen of the red Indian, both physically and morally, for he was six feet four inches tall and conspicuously free from vicious habits. Not long before his death he renounced paganism and entered the Angelican communion, in which his children had always been brought up.

How many of the guests at the Pitt centenary dinner could have correctly answered the question: Where is Pitt's bridge, and why was it so named? asks the London Chronicle. Blackfriars bridge was intended to commemorate the achievements of the elder Pitt, whose famous son—the theme of the night's oratory—was born in the year of the bridge's inception. On a tin plate on the foundation stone of the bridge the midighteenth century constructors carved their emotions in lofty language. "That there may remain to posterity a monument of this city's affection to the man who, by the strength of his genius, the steadiness of his mind and a kind and happy contagion of his probity and spirit (under the divine favor and fortunate auspices of George II.), recovered, augmented, and secured the British empire in Asia, Africa and America, and restored the ancient reputation and influence of his country among the nations of Europe, the citizens of London have unanimously voted this bridge to be inscribed with the name of William Pitt."

Fright Causes Drowning If a spectator would shout encouragement to a drowning or frightened bather it would have a good effect, for it will sometimes give him a little backbone, and that's all he needs. Ninety-nine times out of a hundred all the trouble is caused by fright. The swimmer is not even exhausted, and with an encouraging word he will start to swim again if in his fright he has not swallowed too much water. Even if a poor swimmer would only go near to a man in trouble and talk to him without trying to take hold, this would often tide him over his panic. President Roosevelt on Labor day, September 3, reviewed the most powerful American fleet ever assembled. It consisted of 45 men-of-war, read-for war and drawn up in battle-ray. The spectacle, morcover, was an object lesson in the capability the American fleet to rendezvous and equip on short notice. Also, it is believed, the cost, estimated at $1,000,600, for the parade, is well spent in making the test. As the president passed each flagship he received a salute of 21 guns, so that in the course of his review he listened to the booming of 756 shots.

FOR WORKS OF ART SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION IS NATIONAL GALLERY. Decision Recently Made Is of Much Importance and Means Assembling of Magnificent Art Collections. By a decision of Justice Stafford in the District supreme court, it has been determined that this country already possesses a national art gallery. This decision is interesting first because no one realized that there was such a thing as a national gallery in this country, and, second, because it brings to the government and incidentally to Washington the Harriet Lane Johnston art collection, which is intrinsically valuable, very beautiful, and will form the nucleus around which a real national collection eventually will be built up. The pictures have just been transferred to the custody of the Smithsonian institution and will be placed on exhibition as soon as possible. This decision of the court is more important than even the transfer of the Johnston collection would indicate. The Smithsonian has had an art collection for years, and it has slowly been growing, mostly through gifts; but the present decision recognizes it as a national gallery. This will attract more donations, and although the collection for the present will be housed in the lecture hall of the National museum, there will doubtless in time be a separate building erected for the art collection; and there is no reason why in time the national gallery in Washington should not be quite as much a center of attraction to visitors as the National gallery in London. By the will of Harriet Lane Johnston in 1903 her art collection, consisting of 29 paintings, busts and other objects, was left to the Corcoran art gallery until such time as there should be established by the United States government a national art gallery. The bequest to the Corcoran gallery was accompanied by a number of conditions such as that the collection should be housed in a separate room without artificial heat, and there were some other provisions, to comply with which would have entailed more expenditure than the trustees felt that they were justified in making for a merely temporary collection. They therefore declined the custody, and it looked for a time as though the collection would have to be sold and the money divided with the estate, going principally to the Harriet Lane Johnston Home. President Roosevelt, who is intrested in such matters, urged on congress its duty to establish a national gallery, but it is seldom that such a thing can be done in one session and the matter went by default. Finally the executors of the estate and the Smithsonian institution went into court in a friendly suit to determine the custody of the pictures. Then it was that Judge Staford decided that the Smithsonian already constituted a national gallery. As a matter of fact the formation of an art gallery is one of the first duties of the Smithsonian under the act creating it, and when the present Smithsonian building was erected it was designed with two of the biggest rooms specially built for a gallery. The act creating it says that it "shall have custody of objects of art, the results of curious and foreign research." This function of the institution has been recognized by the relegts all along and there have been a number of valuable objects acquired that have more place in an art gallery than they have in a museum. Some of them have been turned over to the temporary care of the Corcoran gallery and some to the library of congress; but they will all go with the Johnston collection toward forming the foundation of a national gallery. There are other and more extensive plans afoot that will help on the work, but they have not yet taken official shape, but it is sufficient for the present to refer to the fact that they are in existence. One of the first purchases of the Smithsonian, directly in line with the formation of the art gallery, was the Marsh collection of prints and engravings. This was a lucky speculation, as proved. George P. Marsh was for a long time United States minister to Greece and to Italy. His collection of prints was a notable one and was bought by the Smithsonian in 1849 for three or four thousand dollars. It was temporarily deposited with the congressional library, and experts estimate its value now at between $50,000 and $60,000. The Smithsonian already has quite a large collection of busts of prominent men and scientists, several valuable portraits and other objects, all of which will go into the new collection. Senator's Wonderful Record. William Pinckney Whyte, United States senator from Maryland, who has just passed his eighty-second milestone, has never been inside a saloon, never smoked and never rode in a cab. He framed the instrument on which the unique government of the District of Columbia is founded. He lives outside of Baltimore, yet is able to appear at a trial in Baltimore in the morning and be in Washington in time to answer to the noon roll call of the senate. Twice chosen United States senator, he has also been governor, mayor, state senator, state representative, city solicitor, attorney general and state comptroller. He was defeated for the United States senate by the late Arthur P. Gorman and then succeeded Gorman at the latter's death. He was a member of the Maryland legislature when Gorman was a cad in Howard county. HAY FEVER "I having used Peruna for catarrh and hay fever, I can recommend it to all who are suffering with the above diseases. I am happy to be able to say it has helped me wonderfully." A. MISS MAYME SMITH is caused by some irritating substance in the atmosphere during the late summer months. It is generally thought that the pollen of certain weeds and flowers is the cause of it. Change of locality seems to be the cause of the disease. The use of Peruna, however, stimulates the nervous system to resist the effect of the poisonous eminations and sometimes carries the victim through the hay fever season without an attack of the disease. A large number of people rely upon Peruna for this purpose. Those who do not find it convenient to change their location to avoid Hay Fever, would do well to give Peruna a trial. It has proven of priceless value to many people. No Fear. "Oh! shure, that's all roight, ma'am," interrupted Bridget. "Oi'm not Jealous. Oi hoy him caithed." First Coins Were Brass.

Swords Into a Plow During the centennial celebration in Philadelphia in 1876 the members of the Universal Peace union assembled to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the foundation of the order. A number of officers and descendants of officers gave their swords to be made into a plow as a symbol of peace. The weapons were afterward fashioned into a homely agricultural implement, which, however, instead of being a plow, took the shape of the ordinary field cultivator. This cultivator may now be seen in the hall at Geneva, Switzerland. Over it is an inscription giving the history of the implement. STOMACH PAINS Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, a remedy which has been before the American people for a generation, is still accomplishing wonderful results as is evidenced by the following interview with Mrs. Rachael Gardner, of Wilsey, Kans. "It was very strange," she says, "I never could tell what caused it and neither could anybody else. For a long time I had bad spells with my stomach. The pain would commence about my heart and was so deadly organizing that I would have to scream aloud. Sometimes it would last several hours and I would have to take landauan to stop it. Besides this I had a headache almost constantly, day and night, that nearly crazed me, so you I suffered a great deal. And when I think of the agony I endured it still makes me shudder. "Doctors," did you say? Their medicine made me sicker. I couldn't take it and I kept growing worse until a friend advised me to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I did. I began to feel better and was soon wholly converted to this wonderful medicine. It did me more good than I had ever hoped for. I kept on with the pills and now I recommend them to all who suffer." Dr Williams' Pink Pills have cured severe cases of indigestion, bloodlessness, influenza, headaches, backaches, lumbago, sciatica, neuralgia, nervousness and spinal weakness.

IN KANSAS CITY, TWICE ALL THE REST. The paid circulation of THE RISING SON is more than double the combined circulation of all the other Kansas City Golored weekly newspapers. ANNUAL MEETING OF NEGRO JOURNALISTS. A movement of the negro newspapermen for the uplift of that Dark Body of Negroes, and to promote general felicity among our negro editors and writers. They convene 21 and 22 of September. Let us build upon justice and righteousness. The immoral woman has no place in the front ranks of anything that is to uplift. William Jenning Bryan's popularity does not seem so great now that he is here in America, as it did while in Europe. The Rising Son has every reason to believe that Hugh J. McGowan is honest in his endeavor to secure a natural gas franchise for Kansas City. We believe that his interest in this community has been thoroughly demonstrated. Now it is up to the council. The Republicans will hold their convention for the purpose of nominating their fall ticket Saturday in Convention hall. It is to be hoped that the ticket will be one that all wings of the party can support. But there are some men now in office who should not ask the support of the Negroes. The trial of the Smith brothers in Southeast Missouri, for holding 40 Negroes in peonage, has brought to light a story revolting to say the least. The me n were guarded by armed men day and night, badly fed, housed in unsanitary sheds, and given no pay. This case is the first of its kind in Missouri. The young men who have come under the dominating influence of his personality have to a great extent inherited this peculiar gift of nature. The people can hardly appreciate the valueable service Prof. Yates is rendering to this city and of the great work he is doing. As a thinker he has few peers in this city or state. He has been connected with the schools of this city for about twenty-five years. Not only has he rendered a great service from an educational standpoint, but he has also done good from a political standpoint. When the Negroes of this city begin to classify the leaders who have shaped the destiny of the black people in this community, well may they say with sincerity and fervor: "There stands one of the noblest Negroes of them all." Where do the great body of Negro voters stand? In Jackson county there are 5,573 negro voters. Two years ago we, the negro voters, helped to elect the county ticket. When they were elected we ask for a small piece of ple. They claimed if they gave us a position it would run democratic voters from our ranks. Well did the Democrats elect you to office? Do they think the negro is going to stand the indignant shame heaped upon them? Say the negro voters would stay home on election day? Where would the ticket be? It would be smothered with the walls of Jerico. Come forth, O! negro Moses and lead your black brethren from the wilderness of political slavery. ```markdown ``` PROTECT THE MAN IN UNIFORM. Let the government in Washington beware lest it be stampeded by the clamor which is being raised against the Negro soldiers at Brownsville. Several of the soldiers undoubtedly committed offenses against the law. But the aggressors in the first place were not the black soldiers, but the white citizens. A Negro soldier, in uniform, was knocked down by a white man for passing a party of white men and women on the street. So far as learned, the soldier behaved himself. He offered no insult to anybody. He violated no ordinance, municipal or divine. The streets of Brownsville, in theory at least, are open to all sorts of people, red, black and white, who conduct themselves with propriety. After the insult and maltreatment to their comrade a party of Negro soldiers raided a saloon, and in the disorder which ensued one or two lives were lost. This is deplorable, and the Negro culprits should be punished. But what about the white offender who started the disorder? Is there to be no punishment for him? Is the black man, even when he wears the United States uniform, to be assailed when he walks the streets peacefully. Race prejudice is strong in Brownville. So it is all over Texas, all over the south, and throughout part of the north and west. This is unfortunate for both whites and blacks. But when a black man wearing the uniform of the United States is assailed on the street for no other offense except that of having a black skin it is time for the government which he defends to come to his rescue. A long trip through the South in a dirty, ill-ventilated, poorly-equipped "jim-crow" car will convince the most violent opponent of the late Foraker amendment to the rate bill that the defeat of that measure by the hysterical clamor of certain short-sighted individuals around Boston was a racial calamity. A law insisting upon equal accommodations for equal fares in the South would not have fastened the "jim-crow" policy upon the North, and the gang that lobbled against the well-intentioned Foraker amendment ought to have had sense enough to have known it. Joe Gans' signal victory over Battling Nelson cinches the hold of the dark-hued Baltimore upon the lightweight championship, which so many wished to deny him, because of his color. The real sporting men of the country pinned their faith to Gans' generalship in the ring, and placed their money upon whom their keen perception told them was the better man. The true sportsman wishes to win, and doesn't care a rap for racial differences. They tied to Gans because he could deliver the goods. In the final analysis, merit knows no color line. Be good! It is high time that negroes began to study how the affairs of civilized people are run, and it is high time that they stop sniveling and whining about lack of rights and opportunities. Take the negroes of this community alone. What is there to hinder them from establishing a store, dealing in any one of the necessaries of life, so far no color line is drawn in wages and there is plenty of work of the common variety—such work as gives the poor white man a start. Co-operative concerns on a large scale, that is, those embracing many partners or stock-holders, are possible only among people who are intelligent enough to think alike along important lines. But there is nothing to prevent two or three negroes getting together and establishing a business except the great failings on our own part, lack of pride in seeing any negro succeed and lack of common sense enough to put at the head of all important matters those best fitted to do the work required. There are men of integrity right here in Kansas City who have the means and the ability to conduct a grocery store, a clothing store or a shoe store, but who, though clean in every respect and worthy, cannot secure the patronage of negroes of this city who are clamoring for rights and privileges. The negro should sit down and study himself a while, and learn the fact that unless he appreciates his own, nobody else will do so. He must learn how great are the possibilities that lie dormant in his ranks. Certain defeat and destruction awaits that people who prefer vice to virtue, heathendom to Christianity. The Informer of Detroit ,Mich., says: If the high-toned Afro-American social clubs admit all classes on terms of equality, how can they expect the good white people to distinguish between good and bad Negroes? The social sex of Detroit city for years and years, have given these excursions to Put In bay and with credit to themselves, but no sooner Union National Bank KANSAS CITY, MO.

The negroes destiny is in his own hand let him DRAW THE LINE. Expansion of Opals. The reason why opals are often lost from their settings is that they expand with heat more than other precious stones, and, consequently, force open the gold which holds them in place, with the result that they ultimately fall out.

CAREFULLY THOUGHT OUT. While the fool ponders the wise guy acts. Opportunities are far more powerful than prophets. If you would discourage trusts neither borrow nor lend. Poverty isn't a crime—unless it furnishes one with prison fare. Man can see a sorrow at twice the distance he can see a blessing. It is easier for the landlord to raise the rent than it is for the tenant. Misfortune is no respecter of persons—and neither is fortune, for that matter. When people actually carry out their good intentions the milienium will be in full blast. With the march of civilization come innumerable chances to make a dishonest living. Contentment may be better than wealth, but the most of us are compelled to jog along without either. A New York physician has succeeded in making a mute woman talk. Still some folks imagine that it is impossible for a doctor to outlive his usefulness. POOR RICHARD, JR.'S, SAYINGS. Love is great, good and beautiful, but it hates arithmetic. Vacation weather generally begins after the close of vacations. When a man knows what he does not know he begins to learn. It makes little difference what has been in the empty pocketbook. That low rumbling sound in the distance is caused by the reassembling of the football teams. No mental process is so rapid as the decision of the average man to remain home from church on a rainy Sunday morning.

Future Air Travel. Navigation of the air, safely and expeditiously, is bound to be accomplished and to become man's future method of travel.

Fashions in Paris: In veils the finer the mesh the better; some are as filmy as a spider's web. The cut-away Louis XVI. coat with shoulder cape or capes is the prevailing fashion for cloth costumes. Ribbon velvet, frequently put on in a quilting made by double box-pleats, as was the fashion years ago, trims many of the newest gowns. Skirts are clinging to the hips, and are long, fully covering the feet. They have a decided flare at the base, but this does not begin until the knee.

STRICTLY FIRST-CLASS ACCOMMODATIONS i men Fe Safety Dress for Electrical Workers. An electrician’s safety dress has been invented by Prof. Artemieff, and it was lately tested in the high-tension laboratory of Siemens & Halske. The dress is composed wholly of fine but thickly woven wire gauze, completely inclosing the wearer, including hands, feet and head. It weighs 3.3 pounds, but its cooling surface is so great that a current of 200 amperes can pase through the dress from hand to hand Ter some seconds without perceptible heating effect. Standing on‘the ground uninsulated, Prof. Artemieff drew sparks from the secondary terminals of a transformer which was giving a tension of 75,000 volts, with a period of 60 cycles per second. The inventor concluded his experiments by short- circuiting @ generator of 170-kilowatt capacity by clutching hold of the ter- minals, the potential difference be tween the two being 1,000 volts, and the current passed 200 amperes, ‘Throughout the experiments Prof. Ar- temieff declared that he did not fecl the slightest sensation of a current passing through the body. “Doi't ‘go to wind ‘suppers when you have a small brother.

G — Sa IOWA COUPLE MAKE ODD MARITAL CONTRACT Des Medines, Iowa.—Isaiah F. Harding and Mrs. Isabella Englebrecht of Dallas county, Iowa, had not found smooth sailing up the sea of matrimony, although both are, comparatively speaking, rich. Twice each had been married and twice divorced. When, therefore seeking a consolation prize, Harding asked Mrs. Englebrecht to be his, extreme caution attended her affirmative response. "Wed better lay down some rules to go by," she said, and Harding agreed. The result was the most remarkable preemptial contract ever drawn in Iowa, and, perhaps, in the world. Veteran lawyers say they have never seen anything quite like it. It arranges for almost every possible contingency that may arise in the wedded life of two people. The contract plainly sets forth who shall build the fires, when the husband may bring home guests to meals, when the relatives of each shall visit them, how the money is to be divided, how often the wife may attend social functions without being scowled at—and even fixes a limit to the number of possible future Hardings. By observing in minutest detail the terms of this remarkable document Harding and his third wife have already enjoyed two months of life together without a cloud appearing in their matrimonial sky. Mrs. Harding Explains "When Isaiah asked me to marry him," explained Mrs. Harding the other day. "I told him that I didn't feel like trying matrimony again unless we could agree on some things that had troubled me before. Isaiah said he had troubles, too, and he fell right into the idea. That was how we happened to plan it." J.M. By the terms of the contract, Mrs. and Mrs. Harding agree, in the first place, that they will live together as man and wife for fifteen years. This term of years was agreed upon after some difficulty, as Harding wished to make the contract extend twenty-five years. Mrs. Engelbrecht argued, however, that fifteen years was long enough for experimental purposes, and Harding came to her terms, else there would have been no wedding. Fifteen Year Contract. If they prove unhappy at the end of fifteen years their wedded life terminates there and then without any other proceedings as to the courts. Furthermore, either party has the right at the time to declare the contract null and void. If within the fifteen years either becomes dissatisfied he or she must obtain a separation through the courts in the usual legal form. Bath Harding and Mrs. Englebrecht owned valuable farm land, he in Dallas county and she near Des Moines. It was necessary to make careful arrangements for the control of these properties. By the contract they cut their property valuation in two and each settles half on children by former marriages. Harding has a son and a daughter and the wife has two sons and a daughter. Their personal property is likewise divided among the children. In speaking of children, it may not be amiss to mention that contract provides definitely and stringently that there shall be but three little ones born to the new Harding family. The penalty for the violation of this rule is not set down in the document, but it is presumed that it might be regarded as grounds for separation at the end of the fifteen years. The Guests Are Limited. There will be no such thing as "bubby" coming home with a guest utterer each arm for supper—no, indeed, unless "wifey" first gives her consent. The rules in this respect are rigid. Special provisions are made for the entertainment of relatives of either. The husband's relatives are permitted to visit them during the first two weeks of May. Mrs. Harding's kinfolk are permitted to invade the family circle during the last two weeks. of October. However, this rule is construed to except the children of either, so Mrs. Harding says. Such, in brief, are the principal bylaws governing this thoroughly organized household. Past experiences, it seems, demonstrated to each the necessity for a strong governing belt upon the family engine. Mrs. Harding, it is stated, was deserted by her first husband and secured her divorce from him. Her ZERO second husband was a wealthy farmer of foreign descent, who, it was charged, insisted on making her do the chores, milk the cows and even work in the hayfields. This was more than she would stand and she sued him for a divorce a year ago. She got the divorce and alimony amounting to half his estate, netting her a fortune of possibly $30,000. As for Harding, the shoe, it appears, fitted the other foot and he was twice defendant in divorce courts upon charges of unreasonable temper. He also was divorced about a year ago. In fact, one of the remarkable features of this strange romance is that Harding and Mrs. Engelbrecht met for the first time in the divorce courtroom of Judge A. H. McVey. Harding and his witnesses were obliged to wait until Mrs. Engelbrecht obtained her decree before their case could proceed. As Harding sat there he was moved to pity by her tale. When he found that his efforts in resisting his wife's suit were fruitless he accepted the situation. Terms of the Contract. Not a month elapsed, it is said, before Harding sought out the woman who had told the sorrowful tale on the witness stand. He told her that he believed she could curb his temper and she said she thought she might take a chance. But she insisted that the contract be drawn up and it was signed before they were married two months ago. Following is the carious contract: Know All Men by These Presents; That we, by the terms of this agreement, made this 3d day of May, A. D. 1996, between Sarah P. Harding of the county of Dallas and the terms of this agreement, part, and Isabella Englebright of the county of Polk and state of Iowa of the second part, do hereby bind ourselves by this covenant to carry out entire and in full the terms of this agreement, so that we, as man and wife, may dwell together in peace and harmony so long as this said covenant shall be in compliance. From the said 3d day of May, A. D. 1996, until the 3d day of May, A. D. 1992, a period of fifteen years. M. H. It is hereby agreed and stipulated between it said said Jain E. Harding, party of the second part, and Brecht, party of the second part, that if at the end of the fifteen years aforesaid union shall be terminated by interests of either of us the same said union shall be terminated by either party in an arithmetic formality, providing that if at the end of the fifteen years aforesaid union set forth either should wish to relinquish the bonds of matrimony such action shall not be taken except with due process of law. transferred and recorded upon the completion of this covenant. And this shall be regarded as applying to personal property as well as real. And we hereby bind ourselves to the taken performance of the following simulation. F. S. such as within its lies; Isaiah F. tauten; the second part, agrees that Isabella Englebrecht, party of the second part, shall upon her wedding to him, the party of the first with which he week the sum of $15 with which to defray the expenses, but it is understood that he, the party of the first part, shall furnish fuel and water. It is extremely understood that from this union shall come not more than three children. Upon the birth of each of these child the above amount of $15 per week shall be increased $3 per week. The party of the second part shall furnish domes necessary to dispense with domestic help to the husband to build the fires and prepare the morning meals for six months throughout the winter and for the wife and the fires and prepare the morning meals for the remaining six months of the year. Neither party shall invite guests to the house except with the express permission of the party, not offener than twice per week; relatives shall be allowed to visit the family, except that relatives of the party of the first part permitted to visit the home at any time; relatives of the party of the month of May; relatives of the party of the second part within the last two weeks of October. This shall not relate to the parties to this voyage. If the parties to this covenant shall remove to the city to live it is agreed that party of the first part shall mention above party of the first part gas expenses. Furthermore, it shall be the privilege of the party of the second part to each week, one of which, it the party resides in the city, shall be the theater, and this expense shall be borne by the party of each Sunday the party of the first part shall escort and accompany the party of the second part to church in the morning and again in the evening should she desire it.

Harding. How It Works. Harding is a mild-mannered man in appearance. He does not appear to be the fire-eater that his former wives painted him. His present wife naively suggests that her softening influence has not been exerted in vain. In any event the couple are getting along as nicely as cooling doves, according to the neighbors, who are deeply interested in the case. "Oh, I don't think there is anything so very wonderful about it," remarked Mrs. Harding the other day. "I had made up my mind that I would not get into any more domestic tensions unless I knew in advance where I was going to get off. I've suffered a whole lot just because I hadn't any understanding with my husbands and I made up my mind to take precautions the next time. So it was at my suggestion that we drew up these rules. "Mr. Harding didn't want to do it at first. He said it was too much like playing baseball—we would have to stop and look up the rules every time we wanted to do anything. But I told him that if I was worth having at all I was worth that much trouble and he finally consented. "But we haven't had to look up the rules at any time yet. I have been able to keep a hired girl, and so I haven't had to take my turn building the fires. I guess we'll be able to keep her next winter, too. "Then, too, my $15 has been right in my hands every Saturday night, and I am managing to save some of it so that I can give Isaiah a nice present at his birthday next October. He doesn't know that, so you mustn't say anything to him about it. "I find that it pays to let your husband know in advance how much you need to keep things going, and a woman who will get married without doing so is foolish. It's a good thing to have down in writing, too. Some men's words don't amount to much if they get the opportunity to dodge it." And so Mrs. Harding seemed to be happy. In fact, she said that she has found life with Mr. Harding to be a perfect Utopia contrasted with her previous experience in wedlock. Nothing Succeeds Like "EGG-O-SEE."

The man who was spending his summer vacation in the country was looking quizzically at the mail boxes in the rural post office. "I did not know this was such a large place," he said. "I thought it had a population of only about 4,000, but the mail box numbers run much higher than that, and I don't suppose every one in town rents a box either." The postmaster peered out of his little barred window. "I can explain that," he said. "You see the country post offices never get new boxes, but we have those left over when the city establishments make over their offices and get new boxes. So you see lots of country places are bound to have high number boxes. "Although our numbers run over 4,000, you won't find any less than 1,000, some other country post office drew the lower ones. I myself would rather get the big numbers, for it makes us seem like a bustling little city." HOW MANY OF US? Fail to Select Food Nature Demands to Ward Off Ailments. A Ky. lady, speaking about food, says: "I was accustomed to eating all kinds of ordinary food until, for some reason, indigestion and nervous prostration set in. "After I had run down seriously my attention was called to the necessity of some change in my diet, and I discontinued my ordinary breakfast and began using Grape-Nuts with a good quantity of rich cream. "In a few days my condition changed in a remarkable way, and I began to have a strength that I had never been possessed of before, a vigor of body and a poise of mind that amazed me. It was entirely new in my experience. "My former attacks of indigestion had been accompanied by heat flashes, and many times my condition was distressing, with blind spells of dizziness, rush of blood to the head and neuralgic pains in the chest. "Since using Grape-Nuts alone for breakfast I have been free from these troubles, except at times when I have indulged in rich, greasy foods in quantity, then I would be warned by a pain under the left shoulder blade, and unless I heeded the warning the old trouble would come back, but when I finally got to know where these troubles originated I returned to my Grape-Nuts and cream and the pain and disturbance left very quickly. "I am now in prime health as a result of my use of Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Three Great Conversationalists The three greatest conversationalists with whom it has been my good fortune to come into touch were Mazzini, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes and Bismark. Of these, Dr. Holmes was the most spirted in the bel esprit sense; Bismarck the most imposing and at the same time the most entertaining in point of wit, sarcasm, anecdote and narrative of historical interest, brought out with rushing vivacity and with lightning-like illumination of conditions, facts and men. In Mazzini words there breathed such a warmth and depth of conviction, such enthusiasm of faith in the sacredness of the principles professed and of the aims pursued by him, that it was difficult to resist such a power of fascination.—Carl Schurz, in McClure's Magazine.

It is a Duty They Owe to Themselves —They Should Know What It Is Spent For and When. The girl who throws her money around carelessly, who never realizes the difference between use and abuse, who never has the courage to say that she cannot afford any pleasure, is not doing her duty. Her mind is going to be troubled and her life will be full of worry unless she mends her ways. The girl who earns money owes a duty to herself in regard to it. It is very delightful to buy this and that, to give here and there, and to feel that it is one's very own that is being used, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. Did you ever stop to think that you give so much of your life in exchange for this money? Shall you count your life's best blood as nothing and waste it? Shall you forget your duty to yourself as a natural sequence to everybody else? The money that is earned so hard I Te Throw Shoulders Back (1).

Among the fancies in jewelry are sleeve links of red and white stones—diamonds, garnets, carbuncles, rubles or crystals may be used. The links are in many different shapes, the distinctive feature being that one link will be all in red and the other in white, or else one link will be made of red stones with a diamond in the center and the other of diamonds with a red stone in the center. Other colored stones are also shown in this style, but the red and white combination seems to be the favorite one. And this is not only true of the sleeve links. In brooches and bracelets as well the red and white stones figure largely. Another odd pair of sleeve links for a person of sporting proclivities had one link ornamented with a wild duck enamel and another with a bird dog. The links were oval and concave in shape. The figures were in relief and covered with crystal. Another evidence of the popularity of mixed color schemes in jewelry than that afforded by the cuff links is shown in the revived popularity of the little flower baskets which were fashionable many years ago. The baskets, of gold lattice work, are filled with flowers made of various colored jewels. The ornament is used for a brooch. These brooches, when formerly used, were usually of French filligree and paste jewels and were exceedingly pretty, although comparatively inexpensive. A number of them were disposed of at the sale of the ly should be spent so that it will bring the greatest comfort, so that it will be an umbrella for the rainy day. It is the duty of the girl who earns money to be thoroughly informed not only as to her income, but to her outgo. It is the duty of the girl who works to buy clothes of good standard fabric. The girl who works is to be honored because she is a worker, but she must not put on the garb of a butterfly. The girl who works generally has some one else to care for; and that is much to her credit. Sometimes it is the people at home; sometimes it is a younger sister who is to be helped with her education; but always a helping hand is needed. The girl who works and uses her money only for nonsense is not fit to control money or to be the wife of either a rich or a poor man. Learn the value of money. Have that knowledge, no matter whether you are a worker or an idler, whether your income be great or small. The girl who earns money will never do her duty, will never do what is right, until she is brave enough to draw the strings of her purse against extravagance and slickly sentimentality and to open it to justice and proper generosity.

Pink and white stones are also a fashionable combination. Among the most attractive bracelets at the jewelers' are those of pink and white baroque pearls linked together with a deeper pink amethyst. New It's a "Photo Kershief" Now it is the photo handkerchief. Already some very pretty collections have been made, and besides, scores of pretty articles of house decoration have been constructed out of them. The photograph handkerchief lends itself to a variety of uses. As its name implies, it is a photograph on a handkerchief. Although for some little time heads have been reproduced on satin cushion covers for screens and the like, not until now has it been possible to go into a photograph gallery and have one's picture taken on a handkerchief. The uses to which these handkerchiefs may be put are many, not the least of which is to make the cover of a sofa or divan cushion in one's own room of squares of linen on which the likeness of one's best friends appear. Or there may be a series of poses of just one person. Quite a bit of sentiment attaches to the fad. The exchange of handkerchiefs, as well as the making of collections of them, is likely to become as popular as the collecting of postal cards. We are wont to speak of this era as the "age of iron," and there is no gainsaying that, industrially speaking, iron is a "precious metal." Nevertheless, few people realize how useful, if not absolutely necessary, to modern civilization, is that other metal, lead. Soft, yielding, pliable, it is not much like its sister metal, but those distinguishing qualities are what give it such a prominent place in the arts and industries. Modern plumbing, requiring many turnings and twistings, but withal tight joints, would be almost impossible without lead pipe. The greatest civilizing agent in the world—the printing art—is absolutely dependent on lead. Hand-set type, linotype "slugs," monotype type—all are made of compositions of which lead is the chief component—to say nothing of the bearings in the presses as well as all other kinds of machinery in which "babbitt" metal is used. Solder is another lead product—what a field of usefulness that one form opens up. Then there is the most important use of all to which lead is put—paint, that necessary material which keeps our houses looking pretty—inside and out—and preserves them from decay. How many of us thank metallic lead for the comforts of paint? Yet the best house paint is nothing but metallic lead corroded by acid to a white powder known as "white lead." Of course, there are many imitations of "white lead," some of which are sold as white lead and some which are offered by the name of ready-prepared paint under the familiar pretense that they are "just as good" as white lead. But all good paint is made of the metal, lead, corroded and ground to a fine white powder and mixed with linenseed oil. White lead is also used in the coating of fine oil cloths and for many purposes besides paint. "Red lead" is another product of metallic lead and is what is known as an oxide of lead, being produced by burning the metal. Red lead is the best paint known to preserve iron, steel or tin, and is used largely in painting metal structures, such as skyscraper skeletons, mills and bridges. There are many other products of the metal lead, such as litharge, orange mineral, etc., which are essential to many of the arts in which we never imagine that lead would be of the least use. Verily, we live in an age of lead as well as of iron. Tact. He had crossed her and she was in a dangerous mood. "See!" she hissed, pointing her finger at him, "see how you have worked up my feelings. Why, I am purple with rage." But the young man only smiled. "So becoming," he mused, softly. "What is becoming, sir?" "Why, the purple. It just matches that purple waist you have on." And the next moment she was all smiles and telling her girl friends that George was the cleverest chap in the world. States of Brazil. Politically, Brazil is divided into 21 states (including the federal district), but so unequal is the division that three of these embrace practically her entire lowlands, as well as a portion of the western uplands, and exceed in area the remaining 18, which lie within the highland region, except for their narrow margins upon the coast. These latter, however, contain more than 96 per cent. of the population. TERRIBLE SCALY ECZEMA. Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and Face and Neck Were All Broken Out—Cured by Cuticura. "I had an eruption appear on my chest and body and extend upwards and downwards, so that my neck and face were all broken out; also my arms and the lower limbs as far as the knees. I at first thought it was prickly heat. But soon scales or crusts formed where the breaking out was. Instead of going to a physician I purchased a complete treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, in which I had great faith, and all was satisfactory. A year or two later the eruption appeared again, only a little lower; but before it had time to spread I procured another supply of the Cuticura Remedies, and continued their use until the cure was complete. It is now five years since the last attack, and have not seen any signs of a return. I have more faith in Cuticura Remedies for skin diseases than anything I know of. Emma F.

"Cut out hot cream of tartar biscuit" used to be a common, every-day remark among physicians when discussing items of diet for their patients. But alum baking powder biscuits are never mentioned in this respect. Why? Because it's the cream of tartar that is objectionable and injurious, and yet there are some people who to-day continue to use the old cream of tartar baking powder, and wonder why they are always alling.

Physicians Recommend Castoria CASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless: Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information. Hall's Journal of Health.

Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ill., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory." Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your Castoria stands first in its class. In my thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place." Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for many years. The formula is excellent." Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children's troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's." Dr. Wm. J. MoCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Castoria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home." Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe it an excellent remedy." Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experience, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recommendation of Castoria." GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS Bears the Signature of Charles H. Flitcher.

Owes His Life to Gentle Hearted Southern Lady Who Used Heroic Methods to Cure Him "I've been in tight places in battle," said the G. A. R. man in reminiscent mood, "and generally acquitted myself honorably. But once I was—yes, a hero." "Several youngsters of us, wild with enthusiasm, had gone into the army from college. Such a trifle as consulting our families couldn't stop us. After some rough experiences in camp, there was a skirmish in which several were wounded. These and others of us, sick from exposure, were deposited in an improvised hospital in a small village. "Medical supplies were few, there was only one doctor, and some officers' wives, left at the place, did what they could in nursing. The dangerously wounded got the attention, the rest of us fared anyhow. The doctor had given me about two minutes and rushed away, muttering something about pneumonia." "As I lay on my hard couch, forgotten, despairing, my thoughts were not—according to romantic ideals—solderly," I had enlisted without consulting mother! Boy as I was, my fear of death was not so much the fear of actual dying as it was that of the naughty child come to grief in his naughtiness and now about to be found out. "A slip of a girl—who I learned later was a colonel's wife—was giving me a drink of water when the doctor dashed by. 'My dear child,' he expostulated, 'you shouldn't be here—what will the colonel say?" 'I don't care,' she retorted, spiritedly. 'I've got to help these poo' slick boys—you can go along, doctah, an' the colonel too.' "So here was another young thing, out of place, threatened with rightful authority! I opened my heart to her—I was going to have pneumonia, no one was doing anything for me, and I died, what would my mother say! "Poo boy," she cooed. "I reckon the doctah hasn't a minute foh yoh. But I'll cure yoh, if you'll jus, do what I say." "I'll do anything," I rashly promised, and off she went, all important with her charge, returning presently with something in a cloth. "Yoh mus' keep it on two houahs," she said, impressively. "It'll hut' awful—but yoh promised." "She shed tears of pity, as with the help of an old negro, she wrapped me front and back, in a mustard plaster the like of which never was. 'Poo boy, i jus' feel how it huts, but remembah how mad youah mothah would be if yoh didn't get well!" "Did I keep it on I did, for two 'heuahs,' manfully remembering mother—and hearing my little nurse's 'You promised!' "And," concluded the veteran. "I'd give a great deal to see my nurse again. She not only saved my life, but made me a hero for once—perforce! Besides, I've always wanted to find out if the colonel was as mild with her as mother was with me—when she found me." New American Industry. The infant industry of raw silk production gives promise of developing into sturdy and vigorous manhood, even though protective duties and the aid of state or national bounties be denied it. The father of the present movement to establish seri-culture as a permanent and profitable branch of American industry is Louis Borris Magid, a German by birth, an Italian by descent and an American by choice and adoption. At Tallulah Falls, Ga., he owns 3,500 acres of land, on which he has planted more than 200,000 mulberry trees, which are now from three to five years old, and which are designed for the feeding of millions of silk worms. The land will be subdivided into many small farms and leased or sold to persons willing to engage in silk culture. Mr. Magid has proven that silk can be produced as cheaply in America has in any other country and that the $100,000,000 or more expended annually for foreign silks might just as well be kept at home for the benefit of American farmers, workmen and manufacturers. —Technical World. Why He Married Her. A country justice of the peace, when upward of 70 years of age, married a girl about 19, and being well aware that he was likely to be rallied on the subject, he resolved to be prepared. Accordingly, when any of his intimate friends called upon him, after the first salutations were passed, he was sure to begin the conversation by saying he believed he could tell them news: "Why," said he, "I have married my tailor's daughter." If asked why, the old gentleman replied: "Why, the father suited me so well for 40 years past that I thought the daughter might suit me for 40 years to come." American Civility Criticized Owen Owen, a dry goods man, who is in a large way of business in Liverpool, tells in the Draper's Record of what he saw on a recent visit to the United States. He speaks with wonder of the many attractions and convenences American dry goods men furnish for their customers, but remarks: "One hardly ever hears the phrase 'Thank you' in an American shop. Without being actually rude, the assistants seem to lack some of the polish which is expected from them in this country." HAD TO BE CULTIVATED. Friendship With Senator Not Likely to Be Spontaneous. Ex-Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, is known as a man of uncompromising adherence to his own ideas of right and wrong, and, like many men of his kind, has little diplomacy, carrying at times a large chip on each shoulder. These qualities made him one of the chief irritants of the upper house of congress during his membership. Senator Hoar's sweetness of temper, however, was not lost on the irrasible Chandler, and no difficulties ever entered into their relations. Hoar, however, was not blind to his colleague's failing. A senator from the middle states, fresh from an encounter with Chandler, sunk into a seat beside Hoar, exclaiming: "By thunder, Hoar, I've had just about enough of that autocrat from New Hampshire. You're about the only man here who can bear him. How do you manage to endure him?" "Well," replied the Massachusetts man, with one of his familiar smiles, "I like Chandier; I really do; but, my friend," and here he lowered his voice, "I must admit that it's an acquired taste." Prof. Metchnicoff Has Simple Scheme to Secure Longevity. It is well known that the average length of human life has been considerably prolonged in the last century owing to a better understanding and better fudillment of private and public hygienic conditions. Few, however, attain old age, especially that of 100 years or more, and among these very few enjoy all their physical and mental powers. Prof. Metchnicoff, of the Pasteur institute of Paris, shows the causes of decrepitude, of premature weakening. He demonstrates that certain cells constituting the human organism become mutinous and devour the nobler cells of the body. He points out a special danger, the intestinal germs and the poisons or toxine elaborated thereby, which penetrate the system and cause the hardening and degeneration of tissues. The professor goes further and says that man can educate and improve these intestinal germs and their toxins. The most practical and easy way is, said he, to dr.nk a beverage which contains the germs of lactic acid fermentation, whose antagonism to the bad germs we has demonstrated. Great Men Fond of Tea Like all things in the world tea met with opposition at the first thought or knowledge of it. There were some who called it a filth custom, while others held that it would dwarf the body and destroy personal beauty. Samuel Johnson tells us that he was "a hardened and shameless tea drinker, who for 20 years diluted his meals with only the infusion of the fascinating plant; who with tea amused the evening, with tea solaced the midnight, and with tea welcomed the morning." Thackeray, Shakespeare and Lamb were all devotees to the teacup. "Meanwhile, let us have a sip of tea. The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle. Let us dream of evanescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things." Sixpences on a Tombstone. Sunday morning 21 old widows of the parish of St. Bartholomew, West Smithfield, went to the churchyard at the close of the morning service to pick up the sixpipences which are annually deposited on the tombstone of a parishioner who died several centuries ago. The origin of the custom dates back to Saxon times, and it was revived some years ago by Mr. Butterwick. The little graveyard is raised several feet above the level of the pathway, and to mount to this eminence the elderly dames are assisted up a stepladder lodged against the stone coping of the wall—London Daily Chronicle. Long Words or Short. Which shall we prefer in speech and writing? Almost everybody will vote for the short word, and almost everybody will be voting for the best candidate. The short words are usually the strong words. They make up in muscle and liveliness what they lack in size. And they are readily in the eyes of men who have thoughts that they wish to lodge in other minds. A man who should run out into the street and yell "Conflagration! Conflagration! Conflagration!" when his house was burning would be thought to be making a jest of the affair. And so in all matters where ideas are to be handed out quickly and clearly, the short word has first choice. Fish as Pets. Many boys and girls who cannot keep pets have been able to make pets of wild birds and animals. Even fish in a pond will come to know you if you feed them regularly, and they will follow you round the edge of the pond and at last grow so tame as to take food out of the hand. They will even come into the shallows and allow themselves to be patted. You will find it easiest to make friends of fish of the carp family. Shocked. "A girl out west was driven insane by the sight of a railway train the other day." "Gee! It must have been on time" —Houston Post. In his first success at Drury Lane, Edmund Kean overheard a knot of old stage carpenters discussing vigorously the various players of Hamlet they had seen in their day. "Well," said one, "you may talk of Henderson and Kemble and this new man, but give me Bannister's Hamlet—he was always done 20 minutes sooner than any of 'em."
