Professor of Physics, Lincoln High School. Alongside with the other competent teachers of the New Lincoln High School, Prof Walden as one of the new teachers stands in a very conspicuous light. Mr. Walden was born in the town of Markham, Virginia and attended the public school of his native town. Then he attended Wayland Seminary and College in Washington D. C., and graduated from the academic course in 1893. He took a Post Graduate course at Coburn Classical Institute at Waterville Maine and finished in 1894. Afterwards entering Colby University at the same place and finishing in 1898. Immediately on leaving college he took charge of the department of Natural Sciences at Roger-Williams University, Nashville, Tenn. Occupying the chair from 1899 to 1905. Leaving Roger-Williams because of the destructive fires to that Institution occurring Jan. 24, 1905, and May 22, 1905, he was given the chair in the department of industries and in additions to that teaching some studies in natural science, particularly college physics. During the years of his teaching service, he has been improving all the time taking two special courses, one in X-ray and Physico-Chemical Radiography and the other in Mineralogy in the University of Chicago. Prof. Walden is a staunch Christian and a follower of the faith, and since giving his valuable service to his special school, he has also begun to take an active part in the Y. M. C. A., and we wish to say in order for such institutions to prosper they need more men like Prof Walden's type. He is at present occupying the chair of Physics at Lincoln High School in which subject he has devoted a number of years, making him peculiarly fitted and doubly valuable in that line. Prof. Walden has a very nice family, composed of a boy and girl, and a wife of very pleasing manner intellect and refinement. In Mr. Walden the people and the community at large have a very valuable adjunct to our new High School's corps of teachers and he should be given every consideration. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. The members of the Athletic Association under the able management of Professor West are preparing for the annual contests upon the gridiron. Sounders, otherwise "Big Jim," Young, Richardson, Johnson, and many others well known in former victories, are all here in good shape. The religious bodies, the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. societies are in flourishing conditions and aid materially in elevating the tone of student life. The concert given by the Y. M. C. A., on the 12th inst., under the supervision of Professor Reynolds was financially and otherwise a great success. Friday, November 9th, the date set for the Annual Farmers' Conventions, draws night, and we hope many are planning to be present. At no previous time in the world's history has that ancient and honorable occupation known as agriculture received the scientific attentions that has been accorded it within the last decade; and yet, even with the present advanced ideas on the subject, farming methods today, as some one has we'll said, are little more than "a slight scratching of the soil." To render this same "scratching" more complete, more productive of results, is the aim of the Farmers' Institutes and Conventions that have multiplied within the last few years. By means of the ideas thus disseminated the white farmer has been enabled to make two grains grow where one grew before, and it is just this JUDGE EDGAR GUINOTTE It is a pleasure for us to recommend Judge Gulnotte to the public as the logical candidate for Probate Judge. He is a man of unquestioned character and high reputation. Many men, in their private lives, win love and esteem, but few public officials niche themselves in the hearts of the people, inspiring a feeling that takes no account of party or partisanship. Such an one is Judge Edgar Gulnotte, Probate Judge. The place is one that calls for more than mere learning, ripe knowledge, judicial dispassion and that sort of thing, for a Probate judge deals with humanity in the raw, and sustains the most sacred fiduciary relations to the widow and the orphan. Passionately just, tender of heart as a child, and generously sympathetic, he has saved many a small estate from despairment, and safeguarded hundreds of black-gowned women and children. It is the commonest sort of thing—one that no longer occasions comment—for him to refuse the fees due him from the administration of such estates where the bereaved ones have need of every cent. Little surprise, then, that he is loved and honored by all who admire gentleness, nobility and honor. He was born and reared in Jackson county and his life is an open book to us. He is known by both black and white and is especially known for his charitable deeds. HON. WILLIAM H. WALLACE. For Congress. We heartily endorse Hon. William H. Wallace for Congress from the Fifth District. No better man could be selected for the place. The time has come and now is when the public should turn its eyes to men and not parties. Men who stand for principles and humanity. Such a man is the Hon. William H. Wallace. Wallace stands for fair play, the recognition and education of the Negro. Like the good and lowly Nazarine his charitable acts are sung in praise at Rich Hill. Mo. There is an old Negro woman down there, poor, old and blind, who says that Hon. W. H. Wallace and his family does not let her want for anything. Now if he is elected there is one thing that is very likely to be, and that is that a little Negro boy might get to carry his grip up to the White House. EDWARD LYONS For Revenue Collector We especially recommend Mr. William Edward Lyons for revenue collector. He is against the man who is against the Negro vote, Mr. Fred Adams. Now is the time and chance for the Negro to help his friend. To place his friend where his friend can help him. Loose sight of party and vote for men. This applies also to Charley Baldwin. The Hon. Tom Pendergast, who is now nominated for county marshal, the Negroes will not be a bit alarmed if he gets the office. We know he will treat them right. And if he makes any promises he will make good. knowledge that the Negro farmer must have if he is to become part and parcel of American civilization. Therefore let us come together for a practical discussion of farms and farm life; how to secure arms; how to improve farm life and thus render it more attractive to the boy and girl of today.

Strategy. The drummer was observed to be decorating his sample trunks with white ribbons and old shoes. "Have you lost your mind?" asked brother knight of the road in astonishment. "Oh, no," laughed the other, "this is merely a scheme of mine." "What kind of a scheme?" "Why, there is a very romantic baggageman on this route, and when he sees my trunks decorated like this he will think they belong to honeymoon couples and pass them on tenderly without a single smash."—Chicago News.

The kicking horse is not only dangerous but destructive, but the way to control him is a perplexing problem sometimes. A South Dakota correspondent of the Prairie Farmer suggests a device for controlling such animal. If he kicks with only one foot place a strong surcingle about him and at B put in a strong ring. Fasten a strong foot strap below the fetlock joint C on the foot with which he kicks. Then run a rope from ring C through ring B to a ring fastened to the opposite Device for Kicking Horse. front foot at D. When he kicks he will jerk this front foot under him. If he kicks with both hind feet run a rope from one hind foot up through the ring B, down through ring D and back through ring B to C, and fasten on the other hind foot. Then when he kicks with both feet he will jerk this one foot from under him, which leaves him standing on one foot. This will soon get him out of the notion of kicking. Building a Breed. The usual method of starting a breed of live stock is to select two or more unusually good animals from a group that has been developed in a certain direction by means of better food, better environment and careful selection from a greater number. No breed is ever started if the animals that can be used are not better than the same breed of animals in another locality. At the beginning this work is carried on by a few men, sometimes by one. In-breeding has to be practiced for generations till certain characteristics are fixed in the animals. The in-breeding is intensified by constantly eliminating those animals not of the desired type. Feeding the Pig. It does not follow because a hungry pig will gulp down almost any kind of slop, that any kind is good enough for him. Make the slop strong enough to give the pig a well rounded form that will stay with him all of the time, not the form that is seen just after leaving the trough. The Profitable Pig Under average conditions with the farmer, there is very little profit in feeding pigs after they reach a weight of 250 pounds. The most pork is made with the least feed on young pigs. Not Likely. "In Holland we saw milk carts drawn by dogs." "Do they ever run beer carts the same way?" "I don't know—why?" "I thought that might be the origin of the expression 'rushing the growler.'"—Cleveland Leader. In Vain. "Why don't you write something original?" asked the editor. "What's the use?" replied the author. "If I do my friends merely ask me why I don't write something interesting."—Cassell's Journal. Poor Father. Family Friend—So they call you Jack, the same as your father. Isn't it awkward when your mother calls to know which of you she wants? Little Jack—Oh, no; when mother wants me, she always says "please." Got It Himself. "That lawyer I employed to get hold of that property for me is the smartest man I know." "He got it, all right, did he?" "Yes—he got it."—Cleveland Leader. Remarkable Railway. An up-hill railway, perhaps the most remarkable in the world, is the Oroyo, in Peru. It runs from Callac to the gold fields of Cerro de Pasco. From Callao it ascends the narrow valley of the Rimac, rising nearly 5,000 feet in the first 56 miles. Thence it goes through the intricate gorges of the Sierra till it tunnels the Andes at an altitude of 15,645 feet, the highest point in the world where a piston-rod is moved by steam. The wonder is increased by remembering that this elevation is reached in 78 miles. Moved the Woird. Cecil Rhodes was once considered a crank. When Mr. Rhodes made his first appearance in the Cape parishment he could talk of nothing but his great idea of a transcontinental railway and with the aid of a specially prepared map he sought to interest his fellow members in the colossal scheme. Most of them thought him a bore and some openly called him a crank. Was Dead at the Throttle An engineer died at his post on a fast express train running from Boston to Philadelphia recently. It is not know how long the dead hand rested on the throttle, as the track was clear for many miles. Not until they were entering Philadelphia like a whirlwind did the fireman discover that the engineer was dead. LEARN NEW TRICKS ENGINEERS TAUGHT HOW TO GUIDE ELECTRIC CARS. The metamorphosis of the railroad engineers of the New York Central has begun, says the New York Globe. It is here with the electrification of the system, and it will continue steadily. The school is without text books, and lacks all of the frills and furbelows so dear to the modern educator's heart. The men were taken in batches of six and sent right over the road in the new double ended electric engine that can draw more and draw it faster than any steam engine that ever was built. The process of change from engineer to motorman is not so long as one might casually suppose. In the first place, the engineer does not need to be taught anything about signals and general rules of the great iron highway. He has learned all that. The engineer who, being far-sighted and anxious to keep abreast of the improvements in the service, decides that he wants to be a motorman, applies to the chief engineer through the superintendent of his division, and he is given preference over all other applicants. The application of the engineer being favorably passed, he is ordered to report to the "professor of electrical engines" at Kingsbridge. If you were to ask for him under this title, you wouldn't find him, because he has no actual denomination. The engineer, 125 of him, went to Kingsbridge one day and waited around expectantly. Every one was dressed in ordinary garb, as the electric engine is not so oily and grimy a proposition as his former pet, the steam locomotive. The first class of six pupils climbed up the iron ladder in much the same way that a passenger boards a steamship from a rowboat. The sensation is about the same, except that there is no chance to drop into the water. Inside he found himself in a compartment about the size, perhaps a trifle larger, than the average flat. The main compartment is as big as a bedroom. There are oilcloth covered seats in two of its four corners. Beside the seats are the controller and the brake. Up above is the whistle cord and bell rope. The whistle is productive of a sound that is a cross between the toot of a selfrespecting automobile and the din of a fog horn gone amuck. The sound is deep, pervading, and audible for perhaps two miles and a half if the wind is right. First of all the noviate is taken over the motors, the condensers, and other sections of the complete mechanism. The explanation of these parts is only superficial, and by the way of introduction. Then the "professor," and that's just what the new men began to call him within an hour after the start of the class, grasps the controller and brings it back a notch. The notch is one of a series of teeth, like things that have to be touched in turn, as the lever is brought backward to increase the speed. If this is not observed, to drop into the vernacular of the professor, "things burn inside." The big engine, noiseless, as though its wheels were shod with felt, begins to slip slowly over the track. Then more notches are let out, and the speed increases until it fairly bounds over the rails. This continues for two hours and return. On the return the motorman does not send his engine to the turntable, as he did in his steam days. He merely changes his seat to the other side of the compartment, for the electric engine is double ended and runs just as well one way as another. After two or three of these trips the pupil is permitted to take a turn at the starting and stopping. Then the minute explanation of the intricacies begins. This same process is gone through with on succeeding days until every part and its use is thoroughly familiar to him. FEEDING AND SELLING MULES. How They Should Be Dealt With to Get the Best Results. The southerner requires fat mules, the fatter the better. Flesh catches the planter's eye. Sleek-coated animals are also in demand. In size, the cotton mule ranges from the 14 hand donkey to the 15.2 hand farm mule. Mare mules are given the preference in the south, but north, east or west this is not so. The wise feeder will keep these facts in view when buying young or work mules. The rough, leggy animal should be avoided. Such are mean feeders and seldom fatten. This is also true of colts. It is possible, says Orange Judd Farmer, to tell with reasonable certainty which colts will feed out well and which will not. The colt that keeps nearly fat on ordinary feed and with ordinary care can be depended on, while the one that is stunted, rough and thin is a doubtful feeder. Some of our feeders raise their own stock mules, buying colts and yearlings, then pasturing or feeding them very much as cattle are fed. Feeding usually begins in early fall and continues until the end of the year. Many carloads of tw*year old mules go on. The feeding is best done in sheds equipped for that purpose. In most sections, at least five kinds of feed can be had. Corn is the principal fattening element, but bran and shelled oats act as a loosening agent and produce a good coat. Such feeds should be given in the proportion of one part bran or oats to three or four parts corn. Soy beans are a promising mule feed, being the equal of linseed meal in rearing and fattening mules, the shearing should be attended to often. The manne falls over badly when allowed to get too long, and it is practically impossible to make a good trim later. When receiving a mule that has been shod, remove the shoes, especially those on the hind feet, the first thing. Mules will kick each other, but if there are no shoes, no harm is done. Work as many as possible, if only a time or two. Many consider a mule broken that has had only one or two lessons in the wagon or plow. Mules should be kept, during the fattening period, confined to the shed. Good bedding is very essential to producing a fine finish. The above is written with special reference to cotton mules, but applies equally well to other demands. Most all the cotton mules from Kentucky are sold through the Atlantic gateway. The market opens in the late fall or early winter and closes in early spring. Useful. Nickeeper—Has Subbubs been successful with his garden?

Imagination, which causes much tl heaith, has also proved an effective cure when medical skill has been baf- fled. During the siege of Breda in 1626 the garrison was rendered almost helpless by the ravages of scurvy. ‘The Prince of Orange, being given to un- derstand that the city must fall in the first general assault unless the plague was stayed, sent a few vials contain- ing a liquid which he declared was of wonderful potency, a few drops being sufficient to impart healing qualities to a barrelful of water. The virtues of the remedy were described in glow- ing terms and the expectations of the soldiery regarding {ts efficacy were aroused to the highest pitch. The vials contained a harmless prepara. tion, though had it been a deadly pol. son the seas of water with which tt was mingled would have rendered tt innocuous. ‘The soldiers crowded eag: erly around the doctors and swallow: ed the medicated water, faith beaming in every face. In a few days men who had grown worse under the usual remedies became well: others who had lost the use of their limbs recov: ered their wonted vigor, and the ranks of the defenders assumed almost thelr normal strength. Ancient European Universities. While Harvard was dedicating its new medical school buildings the Uni versity of Aberdeen was celebrating the four hundredth anniversary of its foundation, Four hundred years seems a most respectable antiquity to Amer: feans, but in reality Aberdeen is among the younger of the distin: xulshed European universities. Just when Cambridge was founded Isa question for antiquarians to settle, but even if we doubt the accuracy of the statement that it dates as an organ- ized seat of learning from the year G35 we know that it was the resort of scholars in those dim, dark days whose records are seanty chronicles. Osford claims more than 1,000 years of authentic history and the Univer: sity of Paris asserts seniority over Oxford. Bologna is almost twice the age of Aberdeen.

The proper cooking of the army ration has long been a serious prob- lem confronting army officers. The employment of civilian cooks 1s not permitted as it would entail too much expense and it {s nat considered prac: tieable to take so many civilian em- Ployes, not subject to military dis ctpline, into active campaigns with the troops. It 1s, therefore, the cus- tom to appoint from among the en- listed men, bakers for each post, and cooks for each organization, the men 80 appointed receiving slightly in- creased compensation. The post or organization commander who can find among his soldiers a sufficient num- ber who have had had enough expert- ence in baking or cooking properly to perform these duties, considers himself fortunate indeed. It more often happens that such men cannot be found, and then inexperienced men must be detailed to do the work, and poor baking and cooking with all thelr Attendant evils invariably follows. It was Capt. M. 8. Murray, of the subsistence department, stationed at Fort Riley 2s commissary officer, who hit upon the plan of giving practical instruction in the kitchens of the troops and batteries stationed at the post. This plan was submitted to the war department for approval, and the ‘training school was established last year, The school was placed in charge of Capt. Murray, and two civilians were employed to assist in conducting the theoretical and practical instruction of the students. The course of ta: struction covers a period of four months. Two classes of bakers and two of cooks are continuously under instruction, a new class of bakers of cooks entering on the fifteenth of each month. They are detailed from recruiting depots, and, afer complet: ing the course, are assigned by the war department to regiments or posts where their services are most needed.—The World To-day. LUXURY FOR CLARK BABIES. Children of Montana Millionaire te Have Magnificent Nursery. Some notable alterations are being made in the Clark manson, accord: ing to the directions which the Mon- tana millionaire left before going away for the summer season, He will bring to his Washington home his wife and the two small girls, the younger oge born a few weeks ako. This little lady, who will get her slice of the copper millions, rejoices in her mother's nar@, but it has been modified to prevent confusion. She will be known as Anita La Chappelle Clark, which in plain English means Anna La Chappelle. The entire fourth floor of the mansion 1s to be refitted 28 one of the most elaborate nurseries ever designed in the country and probably not to be surpassed even in royal homes. ‘The older girl, Andrea, ts about five, and young Mrs. Clark 1s appar. ently just now more concerned about the welfare of her little brood than in breaking into new York society. The furnishings of the nursery will come from Paris and will be patterned after the most ornate model to be found in Europe. The walls are now being laid in costly tiles represent: ing the legends dear to all children, ‘and the ceilings are to be the work : the best artists. Unanstestatad Susan: “I don’t think my self-sufficiency ever received a harder blow than it did recently,” remarked an intelligent and bright-faced young woman who holds down a chair in one of the ex- ecutive departments. “A party of tourists were going through our build- ing, scrutinizing everything and peep- ing in through the open doors at us clerks, We got tolerably used to that sort of thing, though it does make us seem at times like animals in a cage and we are somewhat tempted to call cout for them to wait awhile that the animals would be fed at 12 sharp. “Well, in this party there was the nicest appearing, motherly, old lady you ever saw, the kind that warts dne’s heart at a glance, you know. She looked us over closely and appar- ently pityingly and remarked in a half tone to her companion; ‘Poor things, and yet they seem happy." “something Hke the remark one made about us," said another in the group of ladies who had listened to ‘the narrative. “After staring at us intently she turned away and said to the person with her, ‘Poor things, and yet it's better than being in some man’s kiechen.’" American Stoves for Mexico. A thing to mgke a civilized person wonder is that there are few cooking stoves Jn Mexico, although United States consuls say that at the present ume they receive many inquiries rela- live to them, The Mexican cooking apparatus 1s a clay brazier, construct- vd upon an elevated platform of the same material. The braziers are about four inches high and six to sight Inches apart, and wood 1s burned in them. The fuel ts allowed to con- sume itself gradually, and the smoke and soot which get all over the food and cooking utensils are enough to make you sick. Consul A. J. Lespin- asse, of Tuxpam, says he thinks a small, four-hole wood burning cook stove would make a hit with the peo- ple of the country, as they are becom: ing wise to the fact that they do not know it all in the cooking business.

PURELY FEMININE Fancies in Millinery. SEASON'S HATS ARE IN BECOMING STYLES. Parisian Manufacturers Responsible for Some Beautiful Artificial Trimmings—"Poke" Bonnets of Improved Design. That headgear is to be an all-important item of dress this coming season there can be no reasonable doubt. Also, to judge from the number and variety of models on exhibition, there would seem to be no reasonable excuse for the appearance of an unbecoming hat. However, that is largely a matter of taste and viewpoint, but, at any rate, each of us ought to be able to please herself in the matter. The newest thing is the "Madame," an elongated turban with a single long and very heavy plume over either side. The plumes, if they do not match exactly, at least must blend harmoniously with the color of the hat. Few striking contrasts are noted in exclusive millinery, even the metal buckles, of which a great number will be used, being toned to correspond. The Parisian manufacturers have given us some beautiful artificial trimmings in the way of aigrettes, wings, breasts, etc., which really show a delicacy or richness of coloring and combinations quite impossible with the real ones. These are made up of turkey wings, hen's feathers, wild duck, and goose quills and the plumage of the various other domestic birds, often five or six being utilized in the make-up of a single ornament. The perfectly round turban has returned, this time with the trimming, usually a plume or some velvet ribbon loops, starting from the front underneath a rosette or buckle and extending in arched fashion over the top and side, drooping down over the hair at the back. The Louis Selze shape, a species of exaggerated French sailor, is in vogue as a dress hat. The brim curves upward ever so slightly at the sides and wound with an ostrich feather, the tip of which falls over the brim at the side back, is extremely fetching worn by the tall young woman. Then there are the scooped hats, which strongly suggest the Salvation Army bonnets, except that they are not quite as flaring. One model of this sort noticed recently had a crown of smoke-gray French felt, the trimmings consisting of folds of velvet shading from one tone to another, while underneath the brim was a facial of plaited chiffon of the lightest possible gray tint and a La France rose perched just at one side. These pokes, which have never proved popular since the season of their introduction some years ago, fortunately have narrow upturned brims at the back, which preserves them from the usual ugliness. PRETTY ORNAMENT FOR DEN. Novel Sofa Pillow Cover Made Up of Comical Pictures. A novel sofa pillow cover can be made by a girl to add to the many little artistic and odd furnishings of her den. Invite each girl and boy friend to draw a comical picture on a piece of heavy white, tan or light blue linen, about three by four inches in size. There should be an equal number of patches in each color, so that no one tint will predominate. The artist should first draw his picture in pencil, and when done to please his fancy, follow the outline with a small brush, dipped in India ink. The names of the contributors should appear on their pieces of "art," done, of course, in India ink. When all the patches have thoroughly dried lay them over a square of white cloth and cross-stitch the edges smoothly together with gay-colored silk. An accompanying illustration gives an idea of bow the cushion will appear after finished. Parisian Ead has Arrived. A lovely freak of fashion is that of trimming white crepe de chine with plisse frills of sheer organdie muslin. It is a Parisian cry, and extremely fetching. There is something so youthful and delicate and purely femine about it. TABLE CENTER OF EMBROIDERY. To Be Worked In Silk, in Combinations of Colors. This table center is simple and very pretty. It is worked upon pale green silk; the flowers, which form the border, are a combination of painting and embroidery; the large wild roses are painted with pale pink water colors used with aquarelle me ```markdown ``` dium; they are then worked round in embroidery with silk in darker shades of pink; the inner petals are edged with cording and satin-stitch, the outer with buttonhole stitch; the center is painted green, with surrounding knot stitches worked with yellow silk, the lines being long stitches of pale green. The leaves and buds are painted green, and are outlined with cording-stitch worked with darker green silk; in painting the leaves and stalks, several tints of green, with just a little brown for the stalks, should be used, as the effect obtained by them would be immensely superior to only one uniform tone of green. When the work is finished the superfluous material beyond the buttonhole edge must be cut away with a pair or small, sharp scissors, taking great care not to cut the stitches. BRACELETS ARE IN VOGUE. Old-Fashioned Designs Vie in Popularity with the New. While perhaps bracelets have experienced to a greater extent than any other article of jewelry the fullness of this revival, anything that savors of the antique is considered quite as smart and lends a touch of quaint charm to an otherwise commonplace costume. The broader the bracelet the better and one of the qualtest styles seen is that made like the old-fashioned "book" chains, each link fitted into the other and overlapping so that the method of joining them is not at once apparent, the bracelet resembling fish scales when laid flat. It is, however, pliable and easily adjusted in spite of its intricate workmanship. From many an antique collection of the family jewel box comes necklaces of one sort or another to grace the charms of the malden of to-day and of all there is none which is more effective than one of rose gold which savors somewhat of Syrian manufacture. While the old-fashioned brooches are not worn to such an extent as other articles of jewelry, they are made over into pendant and make really beautiful neck charms, which lend a pretty finish to a white lingerie waist or gown. One of the styles of old-fashioned brooches most often seen is that set with a carbuncle or coral with gold or coral drops. Occasionally the earrings are worked into a pretty design in connection with the brooch. With cameos, where there are a number of them, the most fascinating dog collars may be made, the stones being simply set and linked together with chains of gold, either plain or ornate, according to the fancy of the wearer and the size of her purse. The Way of Prettiness Wrappers of cashmere or French flannel, lined with china silk and embroidered in color matching the lining, are as popular as ever, but albatross in white over color is preferred to the cashmere and flannel, though it is not so warm. The loose texture of the albatross allows a gleam of the lining color to show through, and the effect, especially in pink and white, is delightful. Feather stitching or herring boning finishes the hems, or perhaps all the edges are scalloped and buttonholed in color.

She said her thoughts were turned toward socialism because her father was cheated out of two years' wages by his employers. Last winter, during a long illness, she became absorbed in the works of Walt Whitman, Elbert Hubbard, Robert G. Ingersoll and Tom Palne, which she studied in connection with the Bible. At an age when most girls are laying aside their dolls she is deeply versed in radicalism. Among her friends are Bolton Hall, J. G. Phelps Stokes, Jack London and other socialists. She has met Gorky, but says: "I do not care to meet geniuses. They are always egotistical. I would rather read what they write and keep aloof from them." Her great ambition is to lead a reform movement for women. She objects to the title, "Socialist Joan of Arc" "because I am not religious." HIS RICHES GOES TO BUY BIBLES.

By the will each of 20 half-brothers, half-sisters and other relatives is bequeathed a life interest of $5,000 each in the estate, the balance being left unconditionally to the American Bible society. Since the death of the "farmer poet," as he was sometimes called, energetic search had been made for the will, and as day after day passed without its being found the hopes of the relatives that each would fall heir to a goodly legacy became brighter, so that the finding of the instrument has plunged them into deep dejection.

EUROPE AMERICAN CRANNED MERIT INSURANCE POLICY FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN Mistress of the Home. --- MOTHERS SOMETIMES LAY DOWN SCEPTER TOO EARLY. Mistake to Allow Children to Hurry Parents Out of Middle Age, Where They Belong, Into Old Age, Says Writer. BY MARGARET E. SANGSTER. (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles) In the history of every home a period is reached when the mothers stop training the children and the children begin training the mothers. The process of training always involves a disagreeable side to the persons trained. Children, for instance, see when grown up that the truest kindness to them was shown when they were not allowed to have their own way, but in the early years they often enough felt rebellious when restrained or denied. The moulding touch may be so gently given and education may be conducted with so much tact that pleasure predominates. As a rule, there is some friction during training whether colts or children or parents are the subjects. Mothers arrive by imperceptible stages at the point where they cease to take the initiative and the children take it for them. Occasionally they feel a mild surprise when a grown up daughter calmly advises them to do this or not to do the other; when there is interference with their dress, their comings and goings, and when innovations are introduced in the household management. A strong-willed mother does not easily yield her precedence and in her case the children have to wait until a fit of illness, a long visit or an absence of some sort gives them their opportunity. Once she yields an inch, they take an ell. The maternal sceptre laid down temporarily is seldom resumed with its previous vigor. Often the training of the middle aged mother is so tenderly and sweetly undertaken and accomplished that she slips into the background without being aware that she has practically abdicated her position as queen. Yet it happens every day that women en by no means old, not at all weakened in mind or body, and as thoroughly conversant with affairs as ever they were, simply through granting concessions to their adoring children lose the rank of reigning sovereign to which they are entitled. "Beware of letting your children persuade you that you must take care of yourself, that you must not go here or go there, or get too tired," said a wise man to a friend. "Going down hill needs no exertion; it is just the lightest push here at the top of the hill and off you speed never climbing back again. Children often hurry mothers out of middle age where they belong into old age where they do not belong." There is a very beautiful and thoughtful education of mothers, so exceptional and so gracious that it is worth mentioning in any discussion of the question. Thousands of mothers are so busy with housekeeping and bringing up children that they lose heart about keeping up their reading and they sit in the presence of their college-bred sons and daughters feeling that they are miserably deficient and hardly able to breathe the same atmosphere, with their gifted offspring, "I stand by the side of the road and gaze at my daughter almost with awe," confessed a mother who had no excuse for such profound humility. Another, filled with joy and pride at the triumphs of g son whose genius "TARTANS" TO BE WORN. Scotch Plaid a Feature of Dress and Trimmings. The coming winter is expected to be a distinctly "tartan" one, for the Scotch plaid is seen not only in dress materials and trimmings, but is introduced into wings and quilts and even roses. Plain broadcloth costumes have been fashioned by the leading costumers in Paris and London with short sack coats and skirts trimmed with narrow bands of pipings of tartan, and a distinct novelty is the little green and blue tartan "hip" coat trimmed with collar and faceings of black silk poplin and finished with old-silver buttons. Silk poplin, one of the fashionable materials for the coming season, is being used for making these little coats, with a judicious trimming tartan, for wearing with a blue cloth skirt, and in juxtaposition is the skirt of brown and blue pail, with orange stripe running through it to accompany a plain brown cloth sack coat, trimmed with military braiding, having on some models, a narrow flat piping of orange cloth or velvet introduced on either side of the braid. In many of the new worsted small check cloths and tweeds there is an over plaid and striped effect in a con- was admitted, dwelt continually on the incredible fact that she was regarded with constant affection by one so brilliant and commanding as her boy. This mental attitude is of course entirely wrong and much to be depreciated. Experience has been a richer and more profitable feature to mothers than schools and colleges have been to their children. The right management of a home imparts to a woman who is responsive and receptive, sympathetic and enthusiastic, something quite as useful as a university education. I heard not long ago a story that seemed to me full of the sweetest sentiment and the most practical suggestiveness. A daughter who had been graduated with high honors came home with her diploma and spent her first vacation in becoming intimate with her mother. In the four years of separation the two had drifted a little apart; not in love but in acquaintance with those common affairs that form the staple of life in thought and conversation. The daughter did not go to her room or her hammock and spend hours in study and reading that would have been exclusive, though delightful, but immediately took hold of the daily work with a will. In every possible way she lightened her mother's burden and when after her mother and herself had passed many pleasant afternoons together over books that to the mother opened a new world of culture, the daughter planned a course of study that they might pursue together. Their home was remote from neighbors and they had plenty of time. Resisting the inclination to go abroad and find a conencial field for study or professional work, the younger woman an stayed by the elder and awakened her to a new youth. The saddest thing in life is to witness the discouragement of a woman who having accomplished her task of educating her children, finds herself solitary and neglected, the return for her devotion being that she is overlooked, while they are absorbed by ambition and their own business or their new relation. Sons and daughters marrying early seem to lose identity as integral parts of their old home. Their parents do not enjoy the training in patience which is their when at Thanksgiving and Christmas John and Mary find it impossible to come home, and when they are made to feel that their convictions and opinions are of little account with the second generation. "After a woman is 50 years old she may as well die," was the bitter speech of a mother who realized that so far from taking the first place with her children, she had become a cipher in their estimation. Naturally, when children have left behind them schools and school masters and are confronted with the problems and situations of maturity they have a right to independence. They must take the responsibility for their own actions. They are not unlike the birds that have learned to use their wings and get their own food and that no longer need the supervision that was once so untiring in the days of the nest. Yet it were well for most grown up children to delay too much training of their parents. How shall we train our mothers would best be answered in most instances, by an emphatic order to let them alone. Let mothers dress as they please, set their tables as they like, hold fast to little provincialisms in their dialect, unchecked, and be old-fashioned if they wish. There are endless varieties of roses in these days, but the white rose that blooms in the old-fashioned garden is sweeter than any of the newer productions. trast color, and among the autumn silks used for skirts to be worn with taffor made costumes plaids and stripes are in great demand, as they brighten up a plain cloth dress.

The Rising Son at this junction does not differ with the policies of the Republican party as a whole, but it does differ with you upon the candidates which you have selected for us to support. Does it not look reasonable to you that a man who will not give to a race which has 5,000 votes to put him in office something in return. The few dollars which you pay to the negroes do not pay the bill. The negroes of Jackson county went into the campaign two years ago with the hope of reward for their votes and not a mother's son of us got a thing out of the county, state and congressional ticket. These promises that you have made from time to time have grown thread-bare. The hobby of the Republicans now days is to put a handful of negroes into the conventions and call that representation. The negroes definition of representation is to hold some of those deputyships and not paltry five dollar bills. If we are to be deceived, then let us be deceived by our enemies and not by our so called political friends. The negro should take this stand: When a set of men will not treat you as men, you should exercise the same rights to eliminate him from power as he does to curtail your rights. If he thinks that it will hurt his chances for re-election by appointing negro deputies to his offices then the negro shou'd take the stand that they are not worthy of his vote. The same promises that are being made now were made two years ago to the negro after the election, there will not be a mother's son of us to receive any compensations worthy of any note. The negro must take a manly stand against the man that does not treat him right. Let him be a Republican or Democrat. The man who stabs you, stab him back! What have the candidates who were so successful two years ago in the county done for the negro, that he should come out again as ask the colored men for their votes? The Bible says, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Let us negroes be men and stand together like Spartacus with his brave gladiators, and ask for our rights. Let us like Romans fight for our rights, rights that the shedding of the blood of 10 million lives gave to us. Rights that by the death of the immortal Lincoln and old John Brown gave to us. Let us stand for the rights that Garrison, Phillips, and Charles Sumner helped to give us. For the past ten years the negro and the Republican party put me in mind of a poker game, that is; on every hand the negro would play, but when it comes to a show down, if the negro had two pairs the Republicans would have a flush and if the negro had three then he would have a full hand and the only way to make him come clean and give us a square deal is to beat him. That is to take his own c'ub and thrash the very life out of him, and if you negro voters do that this time you will more than likely get a square deal next time. The Son would like to ask the Republican leaders the congressional record of T. C. Unthank in the Southland. Who was it that took him to Washington and put him on his feet and made it possible for him to stand alone? Was it a good old Republican or a so-called bad Democrat? The Son would like him to answer through the columns of this paper. God forbid any negro to be guilty of voting for a man who will deliberately deny you the rights of a man. Have the negroes as much right to deny you their votes as you have to deny him representation? The Son has found out that all the good men are not allied with the Republican party. THOMAS J. PENDERGAST. Nominee for Marshal. Where do the Negroes stand on this position and on this blunt and square man? Mr. Pendergast's term as marshal established a new era in penal progress. He stood for the negro as well as the white man. No cruel treatment of prisoners. No jail scandals, but honest, intelligent. Let us try him again. The Negro is not seeking social equality with the whites, but he's seeking a square deal. What he wants is a chance to demonstrate his manhood and if you Republicans expect us to be your political slaves any longer you have certainly got another thought coming. The Negroes are beginning to read and think as well, and you all cannot fool us all the time. There are some Republicans on the ticket who are asking us now for our suffrage who know down in their hearts that they are just as much opposed to the Negro becoming a political factor as any Democrat in the land. It was said by our honored President, all men up and none down, but you Republicans of Jackson county say all white men up and Negroes down. The Son assumes this attitude towards the Republicans of Jackson county: We came unto our own and parties who bid for the colored vote. From the completion of the Republicans of Jackson county they do not want the Negro to show any independence about his vote. They simply want to herd us together like sheep going up to be slaughtered and want us to continue to vote the Republican ticket but when it comes to distribution of patronage then they say you must keep still it isn't time for Negroes to hold office and make any demands for what for what he soably contributed to. Now this kind of Republicanism is not the kind of Republicanism that the Negro is going to continue to support. The "Kansas City World" in its editorial last week was right when it said that the Negro was here to stay and that the greater part of his meanness he learned from the white man. Instead of encouraging the Negro and trying to build him up it seems to be the characteristic of some to throw all manner of slurs in his face and to torture him and to put every manner of discouragement in his path to upset him and keep him in the background. The Negro is as good a citizen under the circumstances as there is under the sun, according to his chances. No race of people has made so rapid a progress as the Negro under such a period as we are passing through now. He is building homes, he is turning out doctors, lawyers and mechanics of all kinds. He is a good farmer. Then why not give him a white man's show. Don't say that he is not progressive and that he will not accept civilization. Be as fair with us as we have been with you and give us elbow room and we will take care of ourselves. The "Son" predicts a great majority for Isaac Kimbrell this November. He has done his duty and I would like to know why he should not succeed himself. He has put the loan sharks out of business and frightened the Ice Trust out of their wits. Mr Kimbrell is a man that has all the people's interest at heart. It is not a question with him if poor or rich, white or black, but whether or not you are guilty. If innocent he will protect you. If guilty he will see to it that you pay the penalty. Some day he is going to be advanced to a higher station by the loyal Republicans of Missouri. The "Son" appeals to Negroes to think like men. Do everything you can do to be a good citizen and to build up your own homes and protect your wives and children and to that end you must seek men who are friendly to you and willing to lend you a helping hand and they are not all in the Republican party. If you will search the record right close to-day you will find some Ben Tillmans and Vardamans in the Republican party and they are the fellows we are after. If there is an honorable Negro in Kansas City who thinks and who knows a thing or two the "Son" asks this question: "What right has Charley Baldwin or Fred Adams to ask for the support of the Negro in this coming election?" COAL COAL Keep all Kinds of COAL as cheap as any firm in Kansas City. S. E. Cor. Third and Grand Avenue KANSAS CITY, MO. THE BEE IS RIGHT. The colored citizen is asked to divide his vote. In the North conditions are different, and the colored citizens, to some extent, is a little better off than he is in the South. The Northern Democrat in New York, for instance, is giving the colored voter a chance and consideration: It is also stated that the colored voter has no place to go. There is the Socialist Labor party, that believes and advocates equality of citizenship. The colored voter has shown his gratitude to the Republican party, which has long gone out of existence. We must now look for men who represent a principle. The Republican party, so-called, has permitted every indignity and oppression. The colored citizen is no longer the political slave of parties; he has decided to think and act for himself. There is nothing to which the colored man can point with pride under the present administration. He has decided to be whatever the white man can be. It it becomes necessary for him to be a Socialist, Anarchist, Revolutionist, or any other thing he means to be. He will also be a good citizen also, and will endeavor to prevent his house from being invaded by mobs. It is not the man who declares that he is your friend, but the one that will do with out fear. This is the character of man to receive the colored vote and if a division of the vote could be made to the best interest of the colored man The Bee is of the opinion that conditions would be changed. LAUGHS AT ALL BARRIERS. Nothing Stops the Triumphant March of the Locomotive. The completion and opening for traffic of a railroad 14,000 feet above the sea level is an event of moment in that kind of building and the one just finished leading from the Colorado & Southern line to the summit of Mount McClellan, on Gray's peak, is the second in the world to reach that altitude. The other is in Peru, leading through the passes of the Andes. Both lines carry the locomotive, with its proud and conquering plume and its piercing note of triumph, half as high as the highest peaks in the world with something to spare. No longer need it be said that "mountains interposed makes enemies of nations," though it may have been true enough when the note wrote it There are high mountain passes yet left in the world for the railway to cleave through, though it may be doubted if many of them will ever much exceed those named in altitude. The Himalayas, their peaks upholding the roof of the world, are yet to be gridironed. So are the Thian Shan ranges and in general the whole mountain system of China; our intercontinental lines, going on apace and soon to join their links, sometime will in the nature of things have some pretty high places to cover, but if they climb anywhere so loftily as the one just finished and its Peruvian predecessor, it will be time to fire off cannon and hold celebrations of exultation over the performance. It is only the rail which has permitted the wonders of the world to be reached and we have only begun to penetrate into their walled-in dominions. The train which spins over the torrent of Zambesi's fall across its high and slender steel arch reveals one of the most majestic views ever presented to mankind, but there are many more yet to be found and linked into the chain binding the accessible together which is reticulated with meshes growing smaller and smaller all over the world. It will indeed be like braiding a new world into the pattern of the old, to the enrichment of its embroidery beyond all the dreams which fancy can feign or the most glowing imagination picture.

As rare as this treat is, we have still another—Mrs. Will Marion Cook—Abbie Mitchell—will assist the Unbleached Minstrels. Abbie Mitchell sang with unusual effect before select and in fact royal audiences in London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna. Her voice is enrapturing, yes captivating. The Unbleached Minstrels will also be assisted by our own Kansas City peerless contralto, Miss Emma Collins. Surely this will be the twin city autumnal musical festival.

The Question Before the House It is a question of where you buy as to what you get in Pianos of lower price. The record of our past is your best protection. For more than a quarter of a century we have been selling in Kansas City the best Pianos in the world in each class. 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 Pianos for $125. We sell $250 Pianos for $190. We sell $300 Pianos for $210 Any of our Pianos 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. There is no increase for time payments, only interest at 6 per cent per annum for such time as you actually take—a very small item indeed. We carry over 500 Pianos in stock. Come and see.

There is a popular fallacy that matter is held for a stipulated period, and arranged for delivery upon appli: cation in much the same manner as lo- cal post offices are conducted.

So perfectly is this elephant broken that he works by cues imperceptible to the audience. The trainer merely raises his shoulders and the young bull strides toward the telephone box, turn the crank, ringing the bell, picks up the receiver in his long trunk and holds it to his great, flap ear. Then he hangs it up with the suddenness of disgust, rings the bell a second time, and again holds the receiver to his ear, while he listens with the sage, bland expression which only an elephant can assume, When finished, he hangs up the receiver and “rings off.” For something like two minutes this performance lasts. Yet it re quired a month of steady, hard work to break the elephant into this sim- ple, ludicrous trick. More than 2,000 times, actual count, Barlow had to grasp Tom's trunk, apply it to the the bell crapk and teach the circular motion of ringing the bell, by leading the trunk just as you might lead the hand of a young child when teaching It to wind a music box, More than 1,000 times the trainer had to lead the tip of the big receiver of the tele phone to teach the beast to hold it te his ear and hang it accurately back on its hook. And when these details were mastered, It took more than 60( trials to teach the succession of wind ing the crank and listening _ before ‘Tom understood end knew enough tc twist the crank without breaking { {nto halyes at every contact.—Aple lton's Magazine.

Among these passengers are always a few American heiresses, traveling with their parents or professionally chaperoned. Of late years it has become quite an industry for widows who have been left with less of the world's goods than they were accustomed to enjoy during the days of the "dear departed," to take parties of young women to the Mediterranean, and especially on the Egyptian tours. Such parties are to be met in all parts of Europe. This subject was brought to mind very forcibly by a conversation with an amiable young widow, encountered at an evening reception during the past week. writes Julius Chambers, in the Brooklyn Eagle. She has made the European trip many times, and, knowing every detail of her history, it wasn't difficult to turn the conversation into a channel that would necessarily involve her own experiences as an heirress. "The general impression doubtless is that a young woman who has come into a fortune, or is sure to do so, leads a life of joy and contentment," said my companion. "Her troubles are somewhat less than the annoyances to which a rich young girl who has not attained her majority is subjected. In the latter case, passion affected by her suitors is less ardent; but the thought always uppermost in the minds of her men friends is to keep 'in the ring' until the girl's status is fixed. A True Autobiography. "Beginning with her boarding school days, after she has cut loose from the apron strings of a governess, she is popularly supposed to have the favorite seat at table; to have lessons made Zonesal easy for her; always to be taken to drive; to be advised with regarding matters of entertainment; to receive weighty Christmas boxes; to be forgiven for infraction of the rules, however flagrant; to enjoy many privileges not accorded to the daughters of less wealthy patrons of the school; to have her dresses from Paris; to spend her vacations in Europe and to play the 'Princess Bountiful' at all times. Most men blunder about the lives of young heirresses; but old maids like Marie Corell are even more absurd in their characterizations of the young person of large inherited wealth." "Men writers are generally nearer right, you think, than woman?" I asked, in surprise. "Yes, they theorize less than writers of my sex," was the reply. "I should judge that, as a rule, they select some living model and observe her carefully for months before they begin to write; but women generally think they understand their own kind and 'sail right in.' I hope you'll pardon that bit of slang, but it exactly hits off the thought in my mind. If they were to have the experiences themselves, or to take a case—" "Exactly the idea," I hastened to suggest. "Let us take your own case." The "Awakening" of an Heiress. "Exactly; nothing could be better," said my instructress. "My father died when I was 14, and I was sent to a convent, where I remained in almost total seclusion for four years. Of course, I knew my father had been a very wealthy man; I realized that the family lived in luxury; but I hadn't been aroused to the fact that the moment I made my appearance in society the chase would begin and I'd be run to earth like any other fox. In fact, not until the advent of what is called 'society journalism' did I begin to give myself airs. My picture was published at least twice before I had my 'awakening!' Then I fancied myself a 'person of quality.' "Orphan girls assured of fortunes are the victims of most pestiferous and persistent onslaught from seekers of money for charity. All manner of schemes that will separate them from their money, present or prospective, are presented to them. I had all these experiences and many more; but I regarded them as part of my education. I convinced myself by elaborate reasoning that when I entered society, with the prestige that my popular mother would be able to give me, the end of my troubles would come. "Young girls, like young men, fancy that they are taught by experience; but such is not the case. No man or woman under 30 ever has profited by previous experience of his or her own!" The Money Hunt. "What happened when you finally came home from school?" I asked. "My dear mother had already decided that I should go abroad, and the glamor of the ocean voyage attracted, fascinated me. We salled on one of the French boats, and before we had passed the Narrows I had exchanged greetings with two of my men friends, 'unexpectedly called to Europe on business.' I was surprised to find these men aboard; but mamma wasn't. She looked at me archly and proudly, as she whispered: "My dear, the chase has begun! Treat them all alike." "I didn't understand the meaning of the words then, but I did before 48 hours had passed. I wasn't really seasick, but I had the pallor, the headache and all the premenitory symptoms. These two men danced attendance upon me every minute of the days and evenings. One would have imagined them licensed vhsel- THE clans. The man who really bustled about and brought me lemmits and brandy and ginger ale didn't impress me nearly as much as the other chap, who sat stolidly in front of me gazing into my face in honest sympathy. When the weather moderated, and I went to the dining saloon for the first time, one of the men had a seat alongside me and the other was next to mother. By this time the men had ceased to disguise their haired of each other. So it continued all the way across. Mother knew the young men and expressed no preference. The night we sighted the Scilly Islands, off Land's End, a new complication appeared in the form of a French nobleman, who had been introduced by the captain of the ship early in the voyage, but who had waited, apparently, until the American lovers quarreled He was devotion itself; especially did he cultivate mamma—a trick that I could see through, but that flattered her. Couldn't Lose Them. "When we took the train at Havre, the two New Yorkers and the Frenchman ensconced themselves in our compartment. During that four hours trip I expected to see murder done. Only the presence of mother and me prevented the more aggressive of the Americans from throttling Frenchy. When we reached St. Lazarre station, mamma sent her maid to order a cab for the Hotel Continental. The octolord didn't detain us, and, as we drove off, mamma repeated her direction to the driver so that our friends could hear it. Before we reached the boulevard, however, she stopped the cab and changed the order to the Hotel Holland, a neat little place in the Rue de la Paix. We congratulated ourselves upon our stratagem, but the baron's card came up that same evening. as we were dressing for dinner. Hardly had mother sent her regrets downstairs before a box of flowers arrived --- from one of my American sultors and tickets for a box at the opera came from the other. The flowers were sent to me, but the opera box was discreetly sent to my mother. "But, why continue in detail. This thing lasted for a month. We couldn't go shopping without running against one of these three men. The shy chap became the most determined—it's often so. When we met one or the other of the men in shops, gloves or yards of lace would be bought for mythical cousins or sisters. A Duel in the Tyrol. "The baron followed us across Europe to Venice. He no longer forced his presence upon me, but made himself felt by sending flowers. We gave up Rome, hurried to St. Moritz, in the Engadine; but the first time mamma and I walked in the Thier Garten we met the French baron. In desperation I telegraphed to Paris to the quieter of my two admirers and he came to St. Moritz within 24 hours. Mother never knew I had done this; but the baron had begun to show his true character. He started a scandal about me; and the New Yorker, who was early to hear it, gave the frog-eater a terrible thrashing. When the baron sent a second to my friend, the New Yorker threw him out of the cafe in which he was sitting. Then he had two duels on his hands instead of one. I am ashamed to say it, but we slipped off at night and left my friend in the lurch. He fought the baron and got a wound in an arm. The second had a bad reputation as a card sharp; so he was ineligible to a meeting. "We thought we were safely hidden at Wiesbaden. I hired a big German courier, but soon discovered him in conversation with the baron, who had followed us to Germany. We discharged the courier and hurried to London. The baron always followed ```markdown ``` us. He was financed by a marriage broker. "We hurried home to New York; went to Los Angeles, where the baron soon made his appearance. Thence we traveled to Florida, always shadowed by this man. He had shaken off his two competitors. Finally, in sheer desperation, mamma and I decided that I should marry the New Yorker who had sat on deck and watched me with his big blue eyes. The event was neatly brought about by mamma—her excuse for sending after the man being gratitude for his 'noble conduct' in defending me from the Frenchman. We were married at St. Thomas that spring." His Last Play. "Is that the end of the baron?" I asked, regretfully. "No, indeed; the night before the wedding the door bell rang. I happened to be in the parlor alone. Before I realized what was occurring, a man pushed past the butler at the door and entered the apartment. He was the baron! In burning language, he avowed his devotion and said he'd kill himself right there, if I didn't abandon my promise to marry the American. The butter slipped out and brought a policeman. Just as the baron had thrown himself upon his knees and seized my hand a big blue-eyed officer entered and took Frenchy by an ear. I gave the 'copper' a large bill to lose his prisoner before he got to the station house. "Next day I was married and we sailed abroad. Ah! that was ten years ago and the good fellow to whom I gave myself has gone to a better world." "And the baron?" "Is alive and back in the United States for a winter campaign. He is in Chicago at present. I see by the papers. Any kind of an heiress will suit him and I hope he will catch one of the large-footed kind before he hears that I am a widow."

A lawyer in the western part of Massachusetts having a rather desperate case to defend, called the court's attention to the wording of the statute, empowering the jury to "judge of the law as well as of the facts," and requested him to instruct accordingly. The judge somewhat reluctantly did so, adding, however, that the jurymen should accept his interpretation of the principles involved unless they were fully satisfied that they knew more law than he did. In spite of this, an outrageous verdict was brought in, utterly contrary to the instructions of the judge, who severely rebuked the jurors. The foreman, a horny-handed farmer, rose to reply. "Judge," said he, "weren't we to judge the law as well as the facts?" "Certainly," was the response, "but I told you not to judge the law unless you were satisfied that you knew the law better than I did." "Well, jedge," answered the farmer, as he shifted his quid, "we considered that pint."

GARS NOW SMOKE BINDER CIGAR STUDENTS' PATH OF LEARNING MADE EASY. Device at Columbia University by Which All Parts of a Locomotive in Action Can Be Studied in Workshop. From the foot of the grand stairs leading up to the Library of Columbia university we pass round to the left of the great library and come to the entrance of the school of engineering. We find here lecture rooms, laboratories drawing rooms and museums, and in connection with these school departments is a pattern shop, a forge and machine shop—in fact, everything a young man needs in learning to be a firstclass engineer. We go downstairs and enter a fine large shop, and there, on its track stands a passenger locomotive, the Columbia—just such a grand fellow as Kipling's engine hero in his story entitled "0.007." Here is a locomotive turned schoolmaster. We walk round the grand old follow and stand before the great driving wheels. Here we are at the edge of a deep pit in the floor. In it we see a pair of massive wheels supported on great timbers. Each wheel is exactly under and rests against one of the great "drivers," and when the drivers move the wheels in the pit move, too, and in this way the engine can move its wheels and yet stand perfectly still. To give perfect security, the first wheels of the engine are blocked up. By this device it is possible to have an engine "run" at full speed while we sit beside the track and see just how it works. On the road the engine flies along so quickly that it is impossible to see anything, still less learn anything. Think what an immense advantage we have in this school of the locomotive! Here in this quiet, comfortable room we can walk all about the great machine, learn the name and use of every part, and actually see how it works. The assistant teacher in this school of the lacomotive climbs into the cab with several students while a part of the class are studying the action of the pistons in the steam cylinders. Others can study steam-making, the work of the running gear, or the wheels. One boy can study oiling, while another is studying the use of the air-brake. Again, a boy may flag the train to see if the boy at the lever knows the rules of the road. A dozen boys can thus study an engine turning its wheels at 40 miles an hour in perfect ease and safety, while 50 more can learn much of the lesson by looking on and listening to the explanations of the teacher. A locomotive is a grand, scientific tool used in a certain way for a certain end. An engineer uses this splendid tool in a scientific way, and he must be himself a man of science. It is not enough to know how to "stop her," or "start her," or run "on time," according to the rules of the road. He must know his engine; know every part; how it is made and used. He should be able to make complete working drawings of the whole machine, from the headlight to the drawbar. He must know how the steam behaves inside that cylinder and must be able to take the cylinder apart and put it together again. He must know how every part is made and be able instantly to decide when the engine works badly, and why, and be able, as far as possible, to cure its little ills and disorders. He must know it all; must be fireman, machinist, railroad man, engineer and man of science. He must have strong, calm nerves, and must never get confused, or "lose his head," or make mistakes. A hundred lives may depend on his knowledge and skill. The men who build locomotives in the great shops at Philadelphia see that this is the way to teach. So they made this splendid engine a gift to the university, that in its cab young men and boys can have a better chance to learn to be engineers than did their fathers, who picked up their education on the road. No more will the Columbia make her 60 miles an hour. Never again will her headlight gleam on the polished rails. Her whistle will never startle the echoes in the mountains to wake the sleepy towns along the river. She is here at rest, and will never go out again along the line. She is here to teach—and to teach is the greatest thing any man or machine can do. Perhaps the captive engine misses the road, and dreams of the lights and signals beside the way, and longs to fly along the track. Or perhaps Columbia knows she is at school, and is really and truly a teacher on the staff of a great university—Charles O. Barnard, in St. Nicholas. New Use for Locomotives In a small town in Massachusetts recently there occurred what is probably the first instance of the kind on record—a locomotive employed to run a factory. The establishment had outgrown the power developed by its old plant of boilers, and, not wishing to shut down long enough to install a new battery, the proprietors conceived the plan of availing themselves of use of the surplus locar olives from the shops of a near-by railroad. The engine was a small freight engine. It was side-tracked near the factory. The pipes leading to the cylinder heads were disconnected, and one or them connected to the steam dome of the locomotive, leading therefrom to the engine room of the factory. The plan was perfectly successful. TO TEST FABRICS. SOME VALUARLE THINGS FOR THE SHOPPER TO KNOW. How to Detect the Difference in the Quality of Linen—Finding a Cotton and Linen Mixture. Fineness of the threads in the weave denote the quality of linen and the greater the number to the square inch the better the sheeting and the napery. Between the real grades it is more difficult to tell which is the better, and then a small magnifying glass such as all linen clerks carry should be asked for by the shopper, and the one who is interested can count the threads herself and determine which is the better. Threads pulled from the edge of a piece of linen may fray, while those taken from cotton snap when pulled in two. An old-time test is to wet the finger, place it under a piece of linen and watch the surface get damp. If the moisture does not appear, you may be perfectly sure that the goods is cotton, for it does not absorb water as linen does. Another test for linen is to ravel one thread of the warp and another of the woof and burn them. If one is cotton it will be charred immediately, while it will take the linen a trifle longer to be destroyed. There is less chance of being mistaken in buying silk than in purchasing linens and an all-silk piece can be told immediately by the touch. There is quite a little difference to be considered in judging certain silks, for some are more valuable on account of their heavy qualities, while others are costly on account of their sheerness. Ponges that are being sold so extensively this season cost more when they are thick and heavy than when of lighter grade. With lousine the softer and finer the quality the more expensive. The softer taffeta is the better, as a rule, especially when it has a high sheen or luster. It also has an unmistakable swish that stamps it as good as soon as heard. Materials in which the threads running both ways are silk, are springy and to the touch are full of life, while those with half silk and cotton are not so elastic. A lighted match touched to the threads will show at once whether one is of cotton, for if it is it will roll up in smoke before the silken one has fairly started to burn. The same test applied to wool will show quite as quickly whether there are any cotton threads, for they will burn rapidly and leave the woolen or worsted ones burning slowly, and making a black charred ash that has an unmistakable odor of burning wool. A piece of all wool is very soft to the touch, while one of half wool or cotton has a very hard surface, and worsted is quite rough when rubbed. A test that never falls on woolens is made with muratic or nitric acid. A piece of all wool dipped in either of these powerful chemicals turns it to a reddish yellow color. While if there are cotton threads they are destroyed, leaving the piece with nothing but the yellow warp or woof. For Babies on Sleeping Cars. When traveling with a baby in sleeping car, says Good Housekeeping insure a good night's rest for yourself and the baby, not to mention your fellow travelers, by putting him to sleep in a little hammock which is to be found in the berth. This procedure is practicable for all infants under one year of age, and is the only absolutely safe sleeping place for them. Provide yourself in advance with a piece of cotton rope two feet in length. With this one end of the hammock is to be made fast to the lower end of the chain or cable by which the upper berth is suspended; the other end of the hammock is left on the hook from which it usually hangs. The hammock is thus suspended diagonally across the berth; now put in two pillows end to end. These serve the double purpose of spreader and bedding. If the hammock is strung tightly it will swing clear of the person sleeping below and the rougher the road the more the hammock swings and the sounder the baby sleeps. A Hat of Snow-White Neapolitan. A Hat or Snow-White Neapolitan. A beautiful hat was a snow-white Neapolitan, a large sailor shape, tilted by a wide bandeau well up the right side. This bandeau was covered with pale-brown tulle, and the low crown was surrounded with a double wreath of shaded roses in white and cream color, also pale yellow ones, with deeper centers; these were separated slightly into groups of three and four, with a very little brown mottled foliage where the hat rose quite high at the side, two very wide and full ostrich tips shading from white to pale yellow falling over the wearer's dark hair. Nothing but masses of tan-colored tulle filled in the back under the brim. To Cure Dark Circles. Dark circles under the eyes generally indicate a sluggish circulation or torpidity of the liver. Kidney disorders are other causes. Exercise daily breathe deeply, live on simple, nutritious food, and get enough sleep to thoroughly rest you. Every morning bathe the eyes with diluted witch Hazel or strong salt water. At night massage around the eyes gently with orange flower skin food. 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."

Nelson's Hair Dressing is gentle, non-sticky, and does not harm the hair, prevents it from becoming dry and brittle, and enables you to do it up in any style consistent with its length, at the same time giving it that rich, glossy look so much desired.

Nelson's Hair stops the hair from falling out, breaking off and splitting at the ends, which is nearly always due to lack of natural oil in the hair.
