BISHOP ABRAM GRANT, CHAIR MAN OF THE KANSAS CITY DELEGATION OF NEGROES TO JEFFERSON CITY. He Was Made Permanent Chairman of All the Delegates in the Entire State. The Right Rev. Bishop Grant was born in 1884 in Florida, Columbus county. He was born a slave and was at one time sold for $6,000 in confederate money. At his very birth he displayed remarkable genius. It is said at his birth he uttered the first words "Slave, mamma, free." Thus he showed the rare ability of a man, and the birth of another real genius. 1930 On becoming a young man his great craving was learning. Being instructed by his master's son, Willie, he showed great advancement. His master forbid them to teach him, but the key had been given to him to fit the door, so at night he would steal away and absorb those tremendous problems of the books which enabled him to grasp those tremendous problems of life. He has a keen foresight of the future. His utterances are preponderous yet tempered with a string which will lead you into their very chasm. After receiving his education he opened up a night school for his more unfortunate brothers. He was asked how he received his education. He replied: "From the trees, the grass, personal absorption, in fact everywhere, or otherwise he could not tell." He occupied the position of Inspector of Custom, in Florida. He was president of the board of trustees at one time of four colleges, Paul Quinn College, Waco, Texas; Morris Brown College, Allen University, Wilberforce and on the board of Western University, Quindaro. He was twelve years Eniery, Bird. Ting @ King. Nebraska Stevenson's. Hub president of church extension, and at present is head of the financial board with headquarters at Washington, D.C. For many years he did great work in Africa. He was made Bishop in 1888. He is presiding bishop of the Fifth district with headquarters in Missouri. This district comprises the following states: Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Washington, Oregon, Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California. There are over 500 churches in the entire jurisdiction. When viewed by a reporter of the Son from his recent visit to Jefferson City he said he had never been at such a meeting in the United States where leaders from all 1910 ovr the state gathered without any distinct call, save that each man knew the humility that would occur in the passing of such a bill. Men of all religious creeds being represented; Methodist, Baptist, Episcopal, Christian and Catholics. He said never did such harmony prevail. He said he could not find words enough to describe this harmonious meeting. Bishop Grant stands in the lime light of civilization sending his sun rays of comfort upon the poor, humble and despised negroes. As a guilding star you can see his rays entering into the humblest home. Never was one man so great. Like sun rays through a cloud he comes with the word of God, the story of the child in the manager, the beautiful Nazarene who died on the cross to save the soul of men. Listen at the calm tone of the Bishop's voice, surely he has drunk deep of the blood of Christ. Who can say whether or not Jesus has spoken to him or perhaps has told him his mission through the fixed status of the cross. You cannot come into his presence without feeling that same calmness. He speaks and all your fear hayer Co., Brown-aska Clothing Co.,bard's Shoe Store vanishes as the midnight darkness. In these days when the negro is haunted on all sides with cruel tortures, hunted like a beast, burned at the stake, eyeballs torn from their sockets, limbs wrenched from their bodies, his flesh being streak in stripes, scowled at on all sides, no place to lay his head. More terrible things coming for him, the world is turning backward. Into the future he stares at blank darkness. Farther on, he still goes farther, counting the mile stones one by one. He hears the voice of Jesus calling, but cannot see the way is dark and rugged. Is it not a blessing that we have our Bishop alive, and standing like the great Pyrimids of Egypt his spirit will endure to the end of time. In the arms of thy loving kindness and let us hide. Oh! Jesus, Christ of our souls. Let us all hope that through His will our Bishop will endure to guide through the crises yet to come. He lived in the past, He is with us in the present, and we pray our God that he he will be with us in the future. Wm. T. WASHINGTON. Nelson C.

It was said in ancient times by one of the great philosophers that the principle for which you fight is a genuine part of a man's fight. The same rule applies in this case, even though the Jim Crow measure may pass nevertheless the Negro has put himself on record in a masterful manner against it. Prof. Grisham has done this in his cool logical manner. As principal of the High School for over twenty years and coming with such force in his speech it has made a great impression upon future generations of Negroes to come. Posterity has intended in his some rich jewels that it may wear forever.

Dudley stayed away three days. ‘Then, after packing his belongings and making the farewell arrangements his disnity demanded, he rode over to say xood-by. No one was about, so he sat on the stops in the late afternoon sun- light and waited. Presently a shot sounded faintly from the direction of the pasture. Fif- teen minutes later Penny came across the lawn, a pale Penny, walking with shaky bravado, her gun still at the sporting angle, but the arm that held it there visibly unsteady. She smiled brightly at Dudley, then sat down on the steps as though her knees had been abruptly withdrawn, Had a small adventure,” she sald, with a langh that was half gasp, “I've proved my point about the bull, any- way; he's a dangerous beast.

We take it for granted that you do not smoke yourself, but it is Just pos- sible that your elder brother or your uncle may do so, If there fs in your’ family any person who smokes you can turn this habit to good account by asking the smoker to help you per- form a pretty Iittle trick which will afford not only amusement but somo ‘seientifie instruction. |_The smoker is to undertake to blow smoke into a goblet which you have covered tightly with a plate or sau- cer. It seems quite impossible, doesn't it? You put the plate on the goblet |and at the same instant the smoker, standing several feet away, sends @ | vigorous puff in the direction of the jslass, and Jot the glass is filled with | cloud of white smoke—or what looks like smoke. But it isn’t smoke |at all; it is a cloud of fine particles |of a substance known as sal ammo- niac, or muriate of ammonia, or am- monia chloride, which you have prob- ably taken, mixed with Ieorice, as a |remedy for coughs and colds. | Sal ammoniac Is @ compound of am- |monia and murlatic, or hydrochloric acid. | Now, now did this white powder get into the covered gliss? It was [formed there, explains Good Litera- | ture, because before you put the plate Jon you put a few drops of muriatic acid in the glass and moistened the bottom with a litle ammonia. Now ammonia is really a gas. The liquid ammonia or “spirits. of hartshorn” with which you moisten the plate Is a solution of ammonia Kas in water, Hydrochloric acid is. also a gas, really, and the liquid acid | which you put in the glass is a solu: | tion of it. ‘These two gases evaporate from their solutions, come together and combine to form the cloud of solid | white particles of sal ammontac which |ipoks so much like smoke, THE MAGIC GLASS, How It May Be Lifted in the Out- stretched Palm While Full of Water.

A very original and useful organtz tion for boys which Is making great headway in the Sunday schools of Great Britain is the Boys’ Life Bri- gade. ‘This picture shows a company of the brigade boys at fire drill, A tem- porary house has been erected, and some of the boys are shown-in the act of sealing it with ladders and hacking away imaginary burning raf- ters, while other boys are seen carry: ing from the “burning building” ‘fmaginary inmates whom they are supposed to have rescued. ‘Then, in connection with the fire drill is the ambulance work which all the boys are taught to do. This meany, says the Los Angeles Times, that they will know not merely how to rescue people from burning houses, but also how to restore them to heaith and even life, in case they have been Injured or prostrated. ‘The, boys wear a brigade uniform and many companies have made a great reputation for fire drill work, Wouldn't this organization be a fine thing for American Sunday school boys? Sle Maew, The pretty teacher was trying to explain the difference between good conduct and bad, says Youth's Com- panion, “Good actions,” she explained, “are the lovely flowers. Bad ones are the weeds. Now can any little girl tell me the difference between flowers and weeds? What are flow- ers? What are weeds?” “Weeds,” sald Walter, who had been struggling with the sorrel in his mother's garden, “are the plants that want to grow, and flowert ee tho ones that don't.” The Cow's Stems. Ethel, aged three, a bright iltee miss from the clty, was spending a few days at the farm. One morning, says the Farm Journal, she was watching aunty milk the cow. She asked: “Where does you get the milk, aunty?” Aunty pointed to the teats and said: “I squeeze these and the milk comes out.” ‘Then Ethel said: “Your cow has got lots of ‘stems, hasn't It, aunty?” Wonder ef Plant Memory. Plant memory is @ problem for the nquisitive botanist, says the Dundee Advertiser. In 1901 a plant allied to he squash and pumpkin was taken to New York from the desert of Sonora, n Mexico, and since then it has been tept—without watering—in a strange ‘mate 3,600 miles from home, Dur ing the six weeks of rain in the des- rt the plant grows {ts leaves and towers and perfects its seed. Then it dries up and leaves only a water- fled gourd, which a thick, hard shell seals against animals and evaporation. The transplanted specimen still re members the rainy season of six weeks. It wakes, sends out rootlets, stems and leaves, and then dries up again until the following year. Of Interest to Women. Every woman naturally should be healthy and strong, but a great many women, unfortunately, are not, owing to the unnatural condition of the lives we lead.

WASHINGTON. — "Official etiquette," and enobbishness in capital society, of which his wife and daughters, Theodora and Marguerite, were victims, is declared, to be the real cause of Theodore P. Shonts' resignation from his $30,000 a year position as chairman of the Panama canal commission. T It was natural for outsiders to suppose that when Mr. Shonts came here from Chicago as chairman of the commission he would take high rank in the government and have a correspondingly high social status in the fabric of Washington. Mr. Shonts, who was president of a railroad, did not realize that the actual control over the digging of the canal had been officially placed in the hands of the secretary of war, who was paid $22,000 a year. Mrs. Shonts also misunderstood her rank in society, and out of the misapprehension grew a social conflict so great that President Roosevelt had to settle it. The president ruled that the isthmian canal commission takes rank immediately after the interstate commerce commission. Chairman Shonts, therefore, was outranked socially by Chairman Knapp, by the civil service commission and by the regents and secretary of the Smithsonian institution, to say nothing of the members of the cabinet, the diplomatic corps, the justices, senators, representatives and delegates in congress, and commissioners and judicial officers of the District of Columbia. The commission, by official writ, was put so far down the list that the wife of its chairman would have had to make her first call on several hundred other women to have kept in harmony with the Washington social code. This is a matter of the gravest import in Washington society. The trouble was accentuated by Mrs. Shonts' social secretary, who advised her to limit her calls to wives of only high "official rank." Calls were omitted which should have been made, and invitations declined which would better have been accepted. On the other hand, calls were made and invitations accepted which did not in any way further the social status of the chairman of the canal commission and his family. Out of the enmity developing resulted the resignation. FORAKER THE SAME FIGHTER AS OF OLD. Just new Senator Joseph Benson Foraker of Ohio is one of the most prominent public men standing in the national limelight. Two causes—one carefully planned, the other accidental—bring Foraker well into the proem of the political story of the country. PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION First he is a candidate for the Republican nomination for president in 1905; second, he is the self-awarded antagonist of the present incumbent of the White House and all his works. In both these situations Foraker stands out primarily as a fighter. And as a fighter the characteristics of the man and the methods of the man appeal to all dabblers in the picturesque chronology of the day. Foraker is one of the men in the senate who works. His enemies may say he is bitter; they may say he is revengeful; they may even say he is vindicative, but they cannot deny that he is everlastingly, incessantly busy. He is up every morning before daylight, and it is after midnight nearly every night before he retires. During the most active sessions of the senate—no matter what fight he may have on hand—he never neglects to keep up his extensive line of reading. Without exception, he is undoubtedly one of the best Latin and Greek scolars in public life. But busy as he is in Washington with the affairs of the nation and the affairs of his state—which state, by the way, keeps its senators fully occupied—he remains in close touch with the law, and does more legal practice when in Cincinnati than any other man in the United States senate. That he is one of the hardest workers in congress is an established fact, but despite his hard work, he maintains his health. Those who heard Senator Foraker make his Brownsville speech in the senate the other day, and who knew him in the old Ohio flights, recognized in him the same old "Fire Alarm" Foraker. They recognized in him the same quick spirit of repartee—the same eager sarcasm—the same alertness to recover a lost point. He is the same Foraker that he was 20 years ago. The years have whitened his hair, but it has not dimmed the enthusiasm and the fighting spark that has been within him since those school days when he "licked" his playmates. NEGROES ARE SERVED IN RESTAURANT OF HOUSE. Southerners are indignant because the other day for the first time in the memory of members of congress negroes have been served at the house of representatives' restaurant. CONGRESS CAFE While several southern men were dining in the portion reserved for members and their guests, a negro accompanied by a white woman entered, took seats at an adjoining table and ordered food as cooly as though they had no idea of the precedents they were smashing. The negro waiters served them with alacrity. Adamson, of Georgia; Randell, of Louisiana; Tayor, of Alabama, and a few other southernners were dining in the same room. Representative Weeks, of Massachusetts, and Gardner, of Michigan, at an adjoining table, waited to see what the southern members would do. They did nothing. They continued to eat without starting a lynching bee. After they had returned to the Democratic cloakroom they decided to "cut out" dining in the house restaurant hereafter. "We are not in the habit of dining with negroes," said one of them, "and we don't propose to do it now, even if it is permitted at the capitol." And only Saturday Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, glanced over the fact that there were places in Washington where negroes "could not drink with white men, and you senators know it is true." "It is a good thing Senator Tillman was not eating in there when that colored man sat down," commented one of the negro waiters after the restaurant episode had occurred, "because there sure would have been something doing." FROG INDUSTRY FAILS TO IMPRESS CONGRESSMEN. THE FROG Frogs are responsible for the abolition of one of the great agricultural department bureaus which spends annually about $50,000. This is the biological survey. When the item was reached in the agricultural appropriation bill the committee wanted to know exactly what the biological survey was. "It is now engaged in establishing a new industry," a member of the committee answered. "What is this new industry that has been going on at $50,000 a year?" Representative Lamb of Virginia asked. "It is studying zones in which frogs are the most prolific, in what kind of water they prefer to live, and how they can be raised." Representative Brooks told him. "It don't take any $50,000 a year for me to tell where frogs live and in what kind of water," Mr. Lamb insisted. "But the frog industry bids fair to be important," Representative Brooks insisted. "Only Frenchmen eat frog legs," insisted Representative Trimble of Kentucky, "and I'm opposed to raising frogs for our French population. If they must have frogs, let 'em bring 'em with 'em. It's class discrimination." "We have horned toads in New Mexico," "Bull" Andrews explained. "But I never heard of even a Digger Indian eating them." "Ive eaten frog legs and found them mighty good," Chairman Wadsworth said. "Well, I wouldn't tell it." Scottfield of Texas interrupted. A majority of the committee agreed with Mr. Lamb. The appropriation was not put in. This will knock out Dr. Charles T. Merriam, chief biologist, an assistant, and clerks and messengers enough to make a salary roll of $8,000, together with the regular appropriation made for the bureau. Friends of the frog hope to get a provision inserted in the senate. PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT COMPOSER OF "SALOME" Dr. Richard Strauss, the revolutionist of the musical world who has raised himself into supreme prominence by the extraordinary daring and originality of his opera "Salome," which has caused such a furor in New York, must not be confounded with the Viennese waltz writers of the same name. Dr. Strauss is a composer of quite another brand and has become the rock on which the musical world has split. P He has been the Hotkapellmeister in Berlin and has conducted an orchestra there, but as a musician he is best known as the writer of symphonic poems or "programme music" of an ultra modern type; and in compositions of this class he has been called the apostle of tonal ugliness, the Turner of musical literature and one who has begun where Wagner left off. Believing in the suggestive power of a printed scheme, he not only presents tonal embodiments of persons and scenes, but has endeavored to suggest the metaphysical pessimism of Nietzsche in his "Also Sprach Zarathustra." But of more human interest is his attempt in his musical score to trace the shifting details of romance. Thus in "Don Quixote," marginal notes in the score enable one to follow the knight through an ingenious symbolizing of his reading of romances, his confusion of thought, his insanity, his wanderings, his hallucinations and his mishaps. It was as the representative of this style of writing that Dr. Strauss came to America with his wife, Paulina Strauss de Ahne, the singer, in 1904. They were heard in Detroit in concert in which Strauss played on the piano his own compositions and his wife sang. Although a great composer, he illustrated his business spirit during his American tour by closing it with a concert in a department store. "Salome," however, is the work by which Strauss has created a sensation and refilled his coffers. Reviewers who witnessed it in Germany or New York (it has been barred from London and Paris) were convinced at once that heretofore Strauss' labor as a programme writer has been futile and that his original style is best adapted to opera where the scenes, the acting and all the stage accessories lend assistance in forming the mental picture and sensation which the music strives to interpret. He has no affectations or peculiarities of manner. WIFE OF NEW CABINET MEMBER WIFE OF NEW CABINET MEMBER Mrs. Oscar S. Straus, wife of the recently appointed secretary of commerce and labor, the latest addition to the list of cabinet hostesses, made her first appearance in the White House receiving line on New Year's day. Mary E. Mrs. Straus brings to her new position a wide social experience, gathered in foreign lands. As the wife of the American minister to Turkey, she enjoyed a pleasant reputation as a clever, cordial woman of winning personality and unaffected manner. She is the mother of two charming daughters, both of whom are married and a young son, still in a college preparatory school. Mrs. Straus entered at once heartily into the duties of her new position, her strenuous period of househunting at a very awkward season of the year resulting in the leasing of the house recently built for former Senator and Mrs. John B. Henderson for their only son. A commodious structure, built in the Italian style, it has for distinguishing features a beautiful ballroom and a series of reception rooms and a banquet hall quite the equal of anything in Washington. The house occupies a commanding site in the aristocratic residence section, and is popularly known as the "pink palace," owing to its style of architecture and the pink marble facings, which render it rather unusual. Mrs. Straus, who looks forward to a delightful first season at the national capital, has won the admiring comments of her associates by the executive ability displayed in entering into possession of an absolutely new home, and within less than a fortnight observing her regular "at home" as calmly as any "seasoned" householder in the community. Mrs. Straus first appearance as a hostess in Washington was marked by her New Year's reception, which was one of the most attractive entertainments of the day. SEEKS FATHER'S PLACE Arthur Pue Gorman, son of the famous Maryland senator, will keep a deathbed promise to his father by trying to defeat Gov. Edwin Warfield for the United States senate. The last days of the elder Gorman were embittered by the alleged wrongs inflicted by Warfield and the son promised to avenge him. A Money will be no object in the campaign, which is inspired by the wife of the late senator. She inherited wealth, supposed to be millions, left by the dead statesman. The feeling of young Gorman against Gov. Warfield is bitter. Warfield worked with the elder Gorman's state organization in an obscure office until the former reached the governorship. Then the governor became independent, appointing opponents of the organization to office, and defeated Gorman in the latter's declining days by vetuing his pet measure to disfranchise the negroes of Maryland. Young Gorman first came into notice three years ago when his father was in Europe. The young man had wanted his party's support for the state senate, but his father had expressed the opinion that he would better be sent to the house of delegates. The son took matters into his own hands a while after a fight in the convention became the nominee for senator from toward county and won the election by one of the largest majorities ever received by any Democratic candidate. During the session of 1904 he took no very active part on the floor of the senate. In 1906 he at once assumed the leadership and held the place through some of the most bitter fights ever fought in Maryland's legislative halls. The greatest service he rendered the state was the passage of a resolution, offered by himself, for the investigation of the affairs of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad company. This resulted in a complete rout of the corporation legislators and the gain by the state of $2,500,000 for its holdings in the property of the road and reduced the state taxes from 23 cents to 16 cents on $100. Young Gorman is a successful attorney. ADMIRAL SIGSBEE RETIRED Rear Admiral Charles Dwight Sigsbee, who was recently retired from the command of the League Island navy yard and station under the age limit of naval service law, and whose fame to best preserved to the American people through his marvelous initiative and coolness after the Maine, of which he was in command at the time, was destroyed in Havana harbor, was born in Albany, N. Y., January 16, 1845, the son of Nicholas and Agnes Orr Sigsbee. He was educated at Annapolis, the United States Naval Academy, entering in 1859, his career there being a most promising one. He was married in 1870 to Elva Rogers Lockwood, the daughter of Gen. Henry I. Lockwood. He served with credit, after his graduation, in the civil war under Admiral Farraquut in After the war he was sent to the China station M. operations during 1883-86. After the war he was sent to the China station for four years, and in 1869 he returned to become an instructor in Annapolis and afterward headed several departments there. From 1874-78 he was in command of the Blake, a coast survey steamer, and so important were the results of his investigations that several governments honored him with medals and honorary degrees. He commanded later the Kearsarge, Dale, Constellation, Portsmouth, Maine, St. Paul and Texas. During the Spanish war he commanded the St. Paul, auxiliary war vessel, and was advanced by act of congress for extraordinary heroism from his captaincy to become t rear admiral. He has written several notable and original works on deep sea topics, which are considered standards by the naval authorities of many countries. Gossip of Gotham New Use for Tights and Shoes Worn by Famous Actresses—Phelps-Stokes and Wife Abandon Settlement Work for Socialist Cause Other Notes from the Metropolis. NEW YORK.—One of the oldest flats in New York city is on the upper West side, not far from the Manhattan street station of the subway. It rejoices in the incleangent it expressive title of the Soubret Museum. It is tenanted by Mr. Epes W. Sargent, who some years ago began to pick up odd theatrical souvenirs and who increased his collection until it is unlike anything else in town. 1 The most striking feature of the apartment is the portico of tights between the dining room and library. Pauline Hall, Vernona Jarbean, Cheridah Simpson, Truly Shattuck, Emma Carus, Belle Gold and half a dozen others contributed to the collection, which is caught up on either side with gaudy pink, white and black striped stockings contributed by Sallie Stember. They were ings contributed by Sallie Stembler. They were worn by her in a vandevtle sketch and are quite the most impossible things imaginable. In one corner of the room a dainty satin aaron with lace insertions, worn by Lillian Russell in her Weber & Fields' days occupies a prominent place. A notable feature is a dabo of stage shoes running completely around the parlor. It comprises every style of stage shoes, from the halo chair to a slipper to the 22 ounce clog. The smallest shoe in the collection is that of Josephine Cohan, a dainty dancing shoe of once kid, a full half inch smaller than a shoe worn by one of the smallest of the Lillipartians' company. There are steam-stained slippers from sequestrant dancers, such as Papunta, side by side with the dainty French creations of Fougere, the straw sandals of Ten Ichi, the magician, and a cloth of gold slipper worn by Elde de Wolfe. Ada Lewi's slipper is as tough in looks as the parts she used to play. A slipper from one of the mid-west honkankunks' hangs beside a dainty pair worn by one of the genuinely original Floridiana saxet girl, while 'Slivers' Oakley's clumsy clog hangs between a blue headed moosekin worn by Sitting Bull and a quirked-earfair worn by one of the Meadhams Sitting Bull. A cabinet in one corner was used in one of the productions of the old Lyceum theater, and scarcely suggests its picture frame molding, and stamped paper origin, while a glazed cabinet contains a heterogeneous collection, ranging from an lokstand owned by Gen. Santa Anna, the Mexican patriot, and pass out checks to Ford's theater used the night of Lincoln's assassination, to dressed leeches from New Orleans, and a Turk's dead made by Goldin, the magidan, out of a napkin elevenly folded. A two-quart candy jar is very nearly full of seat coupons, telling of shows good and bad. All told the collection consists of more than 2,000 souvenirs, and the history of most of them can be readily recalled by the owner. P J. G. Phipps Stokes and his wife, who was Lose Pastor, a cigarmaker, have abandoned their settlement work on the East side in New York, and will become active missionaries for the Social Democratic cause. "So long as there remains this inherent injustice in the misunderstood industrial system, which makes people poor, and then sees that they are kept so," they say, they have found their work can do little or no effective good. "The idle rich are blind to the fact that a donation to charity or philanthropy can serve no good and will not do so as the unjust social system remains," is another reason advanced by Mrs. Stokes for their abandonment of a task which his made them known throughout the country. When Mr. Stokes, son of a millionaire New York family, took up settlement work in New York, after leaving college, he met Rose Pastor, then writing for a Jewish newspaper and working in one of the settlements. She had formerly been a cigarmaker in Cleveland, O. He married her, gave up his rich home, and went to live with her in a fiveroom flat in the heart of the lower East side. In explaining their action, Mrs. Stokes issued the following statement: "My husband and I are no longer engaged in settlement work because, through the attitude of such institutions—well meaning and kindly as the spirit of those engaged in the work may be—people are blinded to the real issues. The idle rich are blind to the fact that a donation to charity or philanthropy can serve no really good purpose, so long as the unjust social system remains, which legalizes the taking of great wealth by the idle. "The oppressed are blind to the fact that settlements, churches and similar institutions can do little real good so long as they remain the injurious inherent in the industrial system which makes and keeps people poor. We are now most actively engaged in speaking to awaken the earliest men and women everywhere to a recognition of the real facts and the real issues." BLIND GIRL 3 TO OPERATE SWITCHBOARDS ```markdown ``` Miss Hanna issues, the blind telephone operator o' Lobberon hospital, the Bronx, has been requested to teach a class of blind girls the art of manipulating a telephone switchboard. She is going to do this at the suggestion of an officer of the telecommunications company, who has agreed to hire the blind operators immediately if they show anything like Miss Bussard's proficiency. Miss Bussard was taken to the hospital three years ago to have an operation performed on her eyes. At that time her sight was failing. Before the operation could be performed, however, she suffered from blood poisoning, and it was necessary to take out both her eyes. The appointment young woman had neither relatives nor friends. She had become a general favourite at the hospital and Superintendent William Drub planned to keep her and make some easy bed for her. At that time the hospital did not have a telephone switchboard, and as one was going to be out in one of the surgeons suggested that the blind girl learn to operate it. The switchboard was put in and it has ten touch wires and 40 extensions. The girl learned to operate it in two days with such skill and splendid precision that everyone who watched her work was amazed. She also learned to operate a typewriter, and now handles all the correspondence for Superintendent Drub. A few weeks ago the young woman was invited to attend one of Helen Keller's lectures at the Waldorf, and after Miss Keller spoke she told of her experience as a telephone operator. Before this Superintendent Tacker of the telephone company had taken a deep interest in the girl and proposed that she teach a class of blind girls to be her telephone operators. She was delighted with the idea, and will begin her new work next week. Miss. Russell State is principally in a state of siege at her country home at Lawrence L. 1, because of the opportunities of applicants for her bounty. A So persistent have been the demands upon her not only by special messengers and by mail but by those who hope to obtain a personal interview, that she is almost deprived of out-of-door recreation. Scores of these beggars who would extort from her some promise or gift of money for either real or fancied needs lie in wait outside the grounds and outposts are maintained; by men and women who trust to lack that fortune may favor them in their appeals. Mrs. Sage has been in a quandary whether to remain in Lawrence or come into the city to live, but close personal friends have advised her to remain where she is. For, as one of them remarked: "Mrs. Sage is hounded to death in the country, but she wouldn't know a moment's peace were she to move to New York." Mrs. Sage has, according to the statement of this same friend, determined that she will grant an interview to no one; that she will neither see nor speak with any one not an intimate friend or who does not come accrueled from her attorney, Henry W. de Forest. Her servants have been instructed to this effect. "As a matter of fact," said this friend, "Mrs. Sage is beginning to feel herself perse usual, and things have come to such a state that she hesitates to go abroad either alone or with friends." » sss... eee UY ne aon eet Se Io ear savages 1 THE RISING SON WM.

It may seem strange that the white press of the country with its men of letters, linguists and scholars, continue to treat the word Negro as a common noun, when it is well known that the word, regardless of its derivation, is intended to denote a particular race. The pity of it is that there are some Negro journals which persist in treating the word as a common noun. We have no aversion to the word, but when it is used out of respect for English, it should be written with a big "N". The Son will attempt to explain in its next issue the difficulties in which it has been engaged. We will give the entire details of the trial in the Justice's court wherein this paper published an article in which it referred to W. C. Hueston in regards to an affair where Alberta Bailey, the daughter of our late professor was concerned. We will give the full statements of W. C.

Massachusetts Lawyer Declares He Has Studied Habits of the Wandering People and Has Found Little to Warrant Condemnation----Have Never Been Kidnapers of Children. Boston—"Be good children, or the gypsies will get you." For hundreds of years mothers and nurses have used this style of admonition with refractory children, for since the advent of the gypsies into England from the east in the sixteenth century, popular opinion has associated them with thievery and kidnapping and thrillless ways, with sorceries and incantations and things that loom terrible to the childish mind. Famous writers have pictured them as incorrigible rascals, the public who have seen only the nomadic features of their life have built up many superstitions around this ancient people, until today to be a gypsy is to be an outcast, a naneless wanderdown upon the earth, feared and distrusted by all men save the few whose deaflings with the gypsy folk have taught them better. But have not Borrow and Groome and Charles Godfrey Leeland and Sir Walter Scott fallen into the error of accepting prevalent beliefs without A. H. Type of Weil Educated Gypsy. accurate personal knowledge of the people of whom they have written? And have not the gypsys' romantic charm, their curious lingo, their habit of wandering, their superstitions and lore and their supposed freedom from hundrum restraints and moral and legal conventions created in the public mind an altogether false impression of this curious people? Those who have come closest to them assert that such is the case. Especially is the popular idea a fallacy when applied to the American gypsy, and it has remained for A. T. Sinclair, a Massachusetts lawyer, to come publicly to their defense. Mr. Sinclair is in a position to know what he talks about. He has spoken the language of the American gypsy for 25 years, he has given years of study to the habits of the oriental gypsy, and to the subject he has devoted his best observation. The result of his dealings with gypsies and his close association with them for a quarter of a century is the firm belief that they are a much libbed and greatly mis understood people. Talk Little of Themselves. Many have wondered why the gypsy has never tried to defend himself, why no one of them has ever attempted to refute the general conception of his people. When an outsider approaches a gypsy to get information, the man who a moment before might have been loquacious itself, in the hope of making a horse trade, becomes suddenly secretive; he is as close as the proverbial oyster. Not once in a thousand times will a gypsy discuss with an outsider either his own affairs or those of his tribe, whatever the stranger's business claims may be upon his consideration. But Tom Stanley son of the chief of the Somerville gypsies, relented somewhat from his rule to explain certain misconceptions that have long existed in the minds of the public concerning the wandering folk. "Of course it doesn't matter to us what people think, so long as we know ourselves honest and so long as we play fair in trade and in all our dealings with the . world," he said. "That is one reason why none of us has ever taken the trouble to contra- diet the many lies that are circulated about our manner of life and our methods of doing business. But many times I have been tempted to write something about our people, that other people may know them better, for nothing accurate has been written that I can find." Valley Stanley is known from Boston to Worcester and throughout all the outlying country. He is the hereditary chief of his tribe, for, like kingship, leadership among the gypsies is usually hereditary. His people camp at Somerville during the summer months, though they move about to some extent as his business as a horse trader demands. At present he is living in Everett, while the people of his tribe are distributed throughout Everett and Lynn for the winter. Gypsy Held in Respect. "I would take Valley Stanley's word where I would not take another man's bond," said an Everett horser dealer of the chief of the Stanley tribe. "Why, I knew his father, Bill Stanley, chief of the tribe before him. There was never a straightter man in the horse-dealing business than Bill Stanley." That is the idea formed of two gypsy chiefs by a man intimately associated with them in a business that offers great opportunities for sharp work. "Perhaps you yourself have been frightened when a child by somebody telling you to 'watch out or the gypsies will get you'" said the chief's son. "That is because people have the idea that gypsies go in for kidnapping children. They have usually carried this idea in their minds since they themselves were children, when they received it from their parents in precisely the same way. That is absolutely a wrong idea of us. Why should we kidnap? We have children enough of our own, quite as many as we can take care of. "Then they accuse us of being addicted to stealing. That is a lie. We know the value of a good reputation in our business, and if we had no higher standard of honor than that it would be sufficient to keep us honest. I think that if you will inquire among the people with whom we have done business you will find we bear an excellent name for honesty. This misconception of the vileish tendencies is inherited, and it has been fostered by the deprations of many wanderers who are not gypsies at all, but have taken to a nomadic existence for sheer love of idleness and freedom from responsibility. I know of Frenchmen, of Irishmen and of Germans who travel about the country posing as gypsies, when they have not a drop of gypsy blood in their veins and none of the gypsy code of living. "Some of us are fairly well educated. Much of that education has been obtained by contact with the world, but the world is a good university, and one doesn't forget the lessons one learns there. When a gypsy leaves the life of his forefathers and applies himself to the usual pursuits of civilization, he generally succeeds, which proves that the gypsy is a man of intelligence. I have a cousin who is mayor of a large town and another who is head of a considerable shoe manufactory. Personal Characteristics "Look at me. Do I look like an Egyptian? Am I dark, or swarthy, or fierce of aspect?" Tom Stanley is a well-set-up man above the average height, no darker than most dark men of Caucasian blood. He speaks English well, and away from the environments of his summer camp has as little of the air of the gypsy—the gypsy of fiction, that is—as a business man. "Yet people picture me and my people in their imaginations as half-savage wanderers, akin to the Egyptians or the orientals. Look at this little girl of mine. Does she look like an Indian child?" He thrust forward a bashful tot of about seven years, a flaxen-haired child with big blue eyes. She, too, was as far removed from the popular idea of the gypsy as Peary is now from the north pole. "I am of American blood, but of English descent. My people lived in Worcester a few generations ago, and my great-great-grandfather was a Bristol man. The Stanley family is a good one in England. "Yet we are gypsies, descended from a long line of gypsies. We speak the Roman tongue, which is a language in general use among gypsies the world over, though it varies greatly according to the country in which a tribe lives. "The next time anyone tells you that we have no religion, do not believe it. We have our religion precisely as you or any other man who is not a gypsy has his. Many of our people are Baptists; some belong to other Christian denominations. When a gypsy does become enthusiastic over his religion he makes not infrequently what you call a great revivalist. That is his temperament. "This temperament shows again in the music of the gypsies. Although this music is entirely by ear, many great composers have conceded that it is effective and accurate, even though wild in character. The gypsies in Hungary and Russia and Poland are noted as musicians." Mr. Sinclair's Testimony. What the son of the chief of the Somerville gypsies says about the gypsy folk is borne out by Mr. Sinclair. He does, in fact, destroy many a cherished illusion. "A good many of them are members of the Baptist church, and speak at the prayer meetings with all the fervor of the other members. Often times I have heard them exhort visitors to their camps about the blessings and necessity of a Christian life," he says. And he adds that they are not given to thieving more than any other "poor, ignorant people and the community where they are found." Mr. Sinclair's conclusions with respect to the American gypsy are identical with a report sent him by the governor general of Russian Central Asia on the gypsy folk of his country, who have the reputation of being thieves and cheats, but, "according to the reports of our administrative officials, they behave themselves well." As to their alleged propensity to steal children, an idea fostered by superstition and the melodrama, Mr. Sinclair says that is all a myth. "All the gypsies in the vicinity of Boston know me as 'Lawyer Sinclair', and for many years I have been consulted by them when in trouble. There have been a good many cases when children were lost and the gypsies were suspected of kidnapping them. Often their camps have been searched and they have been subjected to much annoyance and trouble. In no case, however, has it been found to be true that they had taken any children. A Case In Point. "One case, I remember, excited great interest in the newspapers at the time it occurred. A Willie McCormick disappeared in Boston, and his loss was heralded all over the country in large headlines by the newspapers. Finally two Russian gypsy girls were arrested in Washington for stealing him. A Boston detective was sent to Washington. The two girls were kept under arrest for many days and subjected to a rigid cross-examination, as was the whole gypsy camp. Finally it was discovered that these gypsies had never had or seen the boy. "The question has been one I have considered carefully for 25 years, and I have made very many inquiries, but I have never even heard of a case where gypsies have even stolen a single child." Mr. Sinclair says that they know too well that were they to steal anything they would be suspected at once and searched; and they value their 1900 THE WEEKLY PRESS One of Their Chief Sources of Income. reputations too much, on account of their means of livelihood. "Here in America the gypsies boast that not one gypsy has ever been sent to jail," said Mr. Sinclair, and he asserts that neither district attorneys nor policemen can contradict the boast. How, then, did it ever come to pass that the gypsies obtained the unsavory reputation they bear? It is declared to be simply a case of the sins of the father being visited upon the children," an instance of a bad name clinging to a people through centuries. gypsies must numb millions, for in Rou in various parts of glons, Hungary and over 500,000. No Cha Edgar inadvertent silver quarter dollar village doctors probe one asked his sma physicians had been covering the money answered, earnestly of it." Origin Hard to Trace. Of their own origin the gypales can give no exact account, many of them following the popular belief that they came originally from Egypt. The Saracens, the Jews, the Canaanites, the lost tribes of Israel, or the mixed multitudes that followed Moses out of Egypt—efforts have been made to trace their origia to each of these sources. The most commonly accepted theory is that they are of Indian origin, and their language, Roman, shows many resemblances to the Hindu. Leaving thier early home in northwestern India about the year 900, the gypsy folk, driven by the irruptions of the hordes of Genghis Khan, started on their long march of centuries. Taking the direction of Kabulistan and Persia, they penetrated into Egypt and northern Africa and migrated west through Asia Minor into Turkey. Their earliest abiding place on the continent of Europe was Greece. As early as 1398 a gypsy chieftain named J. A Gypsy, but Doesn't Look It. John was established with a large following under Venetian rule. They are recorded in Switzerland in 1418, in Denmark in 1420 in Italy in 1422, in France and Spain in 1442, in Poland and Russia about 1500, and in England not long after. It was the depredations and the frequent atrocties practiced by these large invading hordes that gained for the gypsies their bad name, a name that has stuck to them ever since. The Last Migration. Their last migration was to America and Australia, nearly three centuries later. These bands were mostly English gypsies, although many bands from the continent of Europe are to be found in the United States. But whatever nationality a tribe belonged to, it retained the Romani language, the language common to all gypsies. This is not a simple jargon or cant. It is a true and complete language, especially in the farther east, where the gypsies have remained compact, and it possesses a considerable vocabulary and a highly developed system of inflections. This language has naturally been influenced to a considerable extent by the country of adoption, the broken dialect of the English gypsies, which is the language of the majority of the American tribes, being a strange mixture of English and Romani. How many gypsies are there in the world? It would be impossible to take a census of these roving people. When they first made their appearance in Asia and in Europe they were often many thousands strong, under chieftains who styled themselves counts, or "kings of Little Egypt," the gypsies encouraging the belief that they were Egyptians suffering banishment, in order to secure tolerance and assistance from the people whom they encountered in their migrations. The V gypsies must number well into the millions, for in Roumania alone and in various parts of the Balkan regions, Hungary and Russia, there are over 500,000. No Change. Edgar inadvertently swallowed a silver quarter dollar, for which the village doctors probed in vain. Some one asked his small brother if the physicians had been successful in recovering the money. "No, sir" he answered, earnestly, "not a penny of it." Starch In Grains. The percentage of starch in the four grains named is as follows: Wheat flour, 66 per cent.; corn meal, 65 per cent.; rice, 79 per cent.; rye meal, 69 per cent. The order of digestibility is as follows: Rice, corn, wheat, rye. No Change. CAUGHT BY THE GRIP RELEASED BY PE-RU-NA. Mrs. Ohea & Welle Mr. P. Barnett Victor Palmeade MRS. JANE GIFT Robert D.

SCOTCH DELICACIES POPULAR DISHES IN THE LAND OF THE THISTLE. "Cockie Leekie" a New Way of Preparing Fowl for the Table—Hotch Potch Potch a Fine Soup—For Scotch Scones. Cockie Leekie.—Choose a large, meaty fowl and prepare it as if it were to be roasted. It may be cooked with or without dressing. If dressing is to be used, and the dish is desired with all the Scotch flavor, oatmeal enriched with butter and well seasoned with pepper and salt and chopped onion is the regulation mixture. Into four quarts of boiling water drop the stuffed, dressed fowl; simmer gently for four hours. When the fowl goes into the pot add five leeks, cut into inch-lengths. Half an hour later add four more leeks, cut up, also pepper and salt to taste. Sometimes when the fowl is not stuffed it is cut up and small pieces are put in the tureen with the soup. A knife and fork are laded by the spoon at each plate, and when the soup is served the meat is eaten afterward on the same plate. The fowl may be served as a second course. *Hotch Potch.*—This is another famous Scotch soup. Put three pounds of meaty salt of beef in four quarts of cold water. Allow it to come to a boil and simmer for a few minutes, then skin it carefully. Cut into dice two onions, two carrots, two parsnips, two turnips, one head of celery, and when the meat has cooked for two hours add this to the contents of the pot, with four sprigs of parsley chopped fine, half a cupful of shredded cabbage and half a cupful of barley which has been washed over night. With the vegetables add seasoning of pepper and salt to taste. In two hours put in one cupful of green peas or one can of peas. Half an hour later the soup pot should be taken from the fire; bind slightly with two tablespoonfuls of flour and two tablespoonfuls of butter rubbed to a paste. After serving the soup follow it with the meat and boiled potatoes as a second course. Scotch Collaps.—Take one pound of veal, cut it in pieces about two inches square, flour the meat, and fry it in butter to a light brown. Dredge again with flour, pour half a cupful of cold water over the meat, set it to cook, and as soon as it bolls add one chopped onion and a blade of mace. Let it simmer for half an hour, then season with one tablespoonful of lemon juice, a teaspoonful of finely minced lemon peel, two tablespoonfuls of sherry and one tablespoonful of mushroom ketchup. Let it boll up once, then serve poured over slices of buttered toast. Scotch Scones.—These warm cakes eaten with coffee make a breakfast one will not readily forget. Sift one quart of flour in a deep bowl, with a tablespoonful each of salt and soda. Rub in three tablespoonfuls of butter and mix with a pint of sour milk. Toss on a floured baking board and cut off three pieces large enough to roll out the size of a dinner plate. Do not knead the dough or touch it any more than is absolutely necessary. Roll until about one inch thick, then cut each round into four. Bake on a hot griddle slightly greased. Turn and bake on the other side. They will rise until thick and puffy. He certain they are cooked through. Eat warm with butter. Sweetthread Pie. Place the sweetbreads over the fire to stew, add a piece of butter, a little flour, sufficient water must be in the pan to make gravy. When done butter a deep dish; roll out the paste and put it around the sides; put in the sweetbreads and gravy. Roll out the top crust, place it on the pie trim it around the edge with a sharp knife; make an opening in the center of the lid, cut two strips of dough, twist them and lay across the aperture. Place four leaves of paste opposite to each other on the top of the pie. Bake in a quick oven and send to table hot. Pineapple Tart. Pare and gate one medium sized pineapple and stew in a little water until tender, adding sugar to taste, a spoonful of lemon juice, and a thickening of a teaspoonful of cornstarch mixed smooth in half a cup of cold water. When clear and thick remove from the fire, let the mixture cool, then pour into a shell of baked crust. Beat the whites of two eggs until partly light, add half a teaspoon of cream tartar, beat stiff, add two tablespoons of powdered sugar, beating smooth, then spread upon the tart and slightly brown in a cool oven. A delicious dessert. Home-Made Mucilage A musculage that will keep well and will remain elastic even when it has dried may be made by dissolving one part of salicylic acid in 20 parts of soft soap and three parts of glycerin. This mixture should be shaken well and then added to a paste of gum arabic and water. Pipe Clay in Washing Tub. A little pipe clay dissolved in the water employed in washing linen, cleans the dirtiest clothes thoroughly, with a great saving of labor and soap. It will also improve the color of the linen, giving it, if used regularly, the appearance of having been bleached. WORKS IN THE GARDEN. Eighty-Seven Years Old, But Has a Sound Back. Robert Scollan, 87 years old, of 55 Garden St., Seneca Falls, N. Y., a fine, sturdy old gentleman, who works in his own garden, gives thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills for his sound back and kidneys. Mrs. Goetchious, his daughter, says: "Father had a severe at sturdy old gentleman, who works in his own garden, gives thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills for his sound back and kidneys. Mrs. Goetchlous, his daughter, says: "Father had a severe atack of kidney trouble and lumbago, which caused him much suffering. He began taking Doan's Kidney Pills and was soon cured. We always keep them on hand. My husband was cured of bad pains in the back by taking only part of a box." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Connecticut's Bad Record. Connecticut is usually regarded as a safe and pleasant place to live in, and yet it had 43 murders in 1906, where Maine had only two. To be sure, Connecticut has more people than Maine, but not so very many more; it has fewer than 1,000,000, while Maine has 725,000. It is fair to state that it was an unusually bad year for the old Nutmeg state in this respect, as its 43 murders are more than it ever had before in a single year, and 17 more than the annual average' for the last decade.—Kennebec Journal. $100 Reward. $100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is least one dreaded disease that saturates the heart to cure in the care of patients with heart failure. Cataract is the most positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Cataract is a surgical treatment. Haila's Cataract Care is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous membranes of the eye, to form a foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting the patient in its curative powers that they offer one Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Address F. J. CHEENY & CO., Toledo, O. C. Haila's Haila Plus Plan for constipation. A. Safety Clutch. A father sent his son to a drug store the other day to buy some antiseptic tablets. He wrote as follows: "A small bottle of antiseptic tablets; no carbolic acid! no iodoform! possibly what the surgeons use when performing an operation to purify a bowl of water." The druggist wrote back: "Cannot sell what you want to a minor; the adult must call in person and sign the poison register." The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. WHEN HIS BABY WAS DYING. The Milkman Was Late That Day, but None Complained. A few days ago people on Linwood boulevard who patronize a certain milkman missed his familiar before breakfast ring, says the Kansas City Star. It was late in the morning when he finally made the rounds. And the women scolded. "I'll have to take milk from somebody else!" one irate housewife snapped. "All right, madam," he said, softly. Something in his voice made her pause. "What made you late?" she demanded, still angry. A tear wavered on the milkman's eye and trickled slowly down his cheek. "When—when I left home," he began. He paused and gulped at something in his throat. "When I left," he said, "my baby—was dying. I knew someone—would be—angry—with me if I didn't—come so I—" He could say nothing more. The woman said, gently: "I'm sorry." Next day the milkman failed to appear. The second day he was around very early. "We buried her yesterday," was his explanation. No one chided him. They understood. His baby was dead. GUIDES CHILDREN. Experience and a Mother's Love Make Advice Valuable. An Ills. mother writes about feeding children: "If mothers would use Grape-Nuts more for their little ones, there would be less need for medicines and fewer doctor bills. "If those suffering from indigestion and stomach troubles would live on Grape-Nuts, toast and good milk for a short period they would experience more than they otherwise would believe. "Our children have all learned to know the benefit of Grape-Nuts as an appetizing, strengthening food. It is every evening, with few variations, like this: 'Mamma, let's have toast and Grape-Nuts for breakfast; or, let's have eggs and Grape-Nuts'—never forgetting the latter. "One of our boys in school and 15 years of age repeatedly tells me his mind is so much brighter after having Grape-Nuts as a part if not all his breakfast."

The Immigration During 1906 Was 216,000. While it is well to heed every word of caution from the leaders in commerce and finance and to avoid all speculative ventures that lack a solid business foundation, it is clearly evident that there is no conspicuous weak spot in Canada's present era of prosperity. The Toronto Globe says: "The Dominion has in a commercial sense plenty of money, and our leading financial institutions are in a position to lend freely in the United States. The chief productive enterprises of Canada are not buoyed up by an era of dangerous speculation, but are following substantial business methods and finding safe and continuous markets for their goods. We are not bolstering up any industries by extensive export bonuses that must impoverish the people as a whole, and ultimately lead to collapse through the failure of the artificial aid. There is no extreme protection in Canada such as would create great fortunes for a few at the expense of the general public and lead to disruption and catastrophe. The prosperity of Canada has no artificial foundation being based on a healthy and substantial expansion of trade and industry, with a proportionate extension of productive settlement to new areas. It is true that we are borrowing extensively for railway construction, but every line will bring new territory within the limits of profitable occupation, and will create prosperous settlements to bear the burdens and repay the outlay. We are not exhausting mineral resources, for it is quite reasonable to assume that, although mineral wealth is never permanent, ours will during the measurable future develop a far greater productive capacity than at present. Our timber wealth can be made continuous by a judicious policy. And agriculture, the real foundation of our prosperity, is expanding with every new expenditure on railway construction. We are not in the flush of a railway mania that could bring its punishment through the useless duplication of lines. The gigantic railway enterprises that now stimulate every line of business in Canada will create a new Dominion, and thus render easy the heavy burdens of debt now freely assumed. Canada's era of prosperity has been unprecedented, but there is no sign of weakness and no cause for lack of confidence. While our growth is normal and healthy, we need have no alarm at its rapidity." This article might have gone on to relate the great growth that is taking place in Central Canada, where thousands of Americans have made their homes during the past few years. The past calendar year has given to Canada by importation an addition of 216,000 to its population. Of this the United States contributed 63,781. The agents of the Canadian government, whose advertisement appears elsewhere, say that this number will be largely in creased during 1907. Used Him as Eraser. The late Dr. Henry Martyn Field some years ago related at a Williams alumni dinner a rather amusing incident of his freshman days at college. Being only 12 years old when he entered he had not reached the point where the natural friction between the big boy and the small boy ceases and he was at particular feud with one of his fellows, a stalwart country youth fresh from the farm. One day young Field went early to the classroom and put upon the big blockboard a very exasperating caricature of his enemy, with his name beneath. When the aggrieved party saw what had been done he said not a word, but catching up his youthful tormentor, he used him as an eraser and after rubbing out the offensive picture quietly took his seat. MIX THIS AT HOME. Valuable Prescription Which Anyone Can Easily Prepare. The following simple home-made mixture is said to readily relieve and overcome any form of Rheumatism by forcing the Kidneys to filter from the blood and system all the uric acid and poisonous waste matter, relieving at once such symptoms as backache, weak kidneys and bladder and blood diseases. Try it, as it doesn't cost much to make, and is said to be absolutely harmless to the stomach. Get the following harmless ingredients from any good pharmacy: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and take a teaspoonful after each meal and again at bedtime. This simple mixture is said to give prompt relief, and there are very few cases of Rheumatism and Kidney troubles it will fail to cure permanently. These are all harmless, every-day drugs, and your druggist should keep them in the prescription department; if not, have him order them from the wholesale drug houses for you, rather than fall to use this, if you are afflicted.

ELVA BARBER EDWARDS There are three critical stages in a woman's life which leave their mark in her career. The first of these stages is womanhood, or the change from a care free girl to budding womanhood. The second is motherhood, and the third is Change of Life. Perils surround each of these stages, and most of the misery that comes to women through ill health dates from another of these important crises. Women should remember that Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs has carried thousands of young girls over the critical period of puberty, has prepared mothers for childbirth, and in later years carried them safely through the change of life more successfully than any other remedy in the world. Thousands of testimonials from grateful persons, two of which are here published, substantiate this fact beyond contradiction.

While here he was in the hands of such well known per- sons as Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Col. R. W. Thompson, Rev, L, G.

Unity of purpose and unity of effort have always meant much in the lives of nations. “The strongest of the race should help the weakest. ‘Those who see the light should point the way to thoes who see it not, We should sevk lo reform those of the race whose tread has been other than up: ward. To go amongst these with a spirit of Christ showing them their weakness and convincing them of their errors is not only a duty te them, but to ourselves. ‘These Weights that are about us must be changed to instruments of heptul fulness and we Who are leaders: mus labor for the masses, As wis said fn Holy Writ, “Righteonsness ex alteth a nation.” oS, reetiture of con duet, Industry, sobriety and a_ strug gle for the higher things of life wil Jbring us to the favorable considera tion of the Ameriean people.” After the speaking he was given 1 grand reception at the Women’s In dustrial Club rooms, 728 Walnut streets, He left the next morning for Lex ington where he spoke to a@ larg Jaudience on “The Negro in America.
