Simpson was up before the police court on the charge of ravishing a three-year-old Negro girl. The evidence was conclusive as the child's mother came in and screamed for help. The officer making the arrest thought the matter so grave a case that he carried the man before the criminal court. I. B. Kimbrell, county prosecuting attorney said there was not sufficient evidence to hold him on, and ordered him sent to the police court where Judge Kyle fined him $500. The entire affair was conclusive. There were four witnesses besides the police surgeon who examined the girl and Captain Weber who appeared personally to prosecute the man for committing such a terrible crime. It shows through the indifferent manner of the prosecuting attornity that he is not doing his duty by the Negro race. VOLUME XI. White Man Brut 3-Year Old I. B.

Theo Smith, the operator of three drug stores, has three men in his employ, paying them not less than $50 per month. Besides employing two delivery boys, he is paying over $1,800 a year for rent. He is the only negro in the United States operating three drug stores. He is paying more money for help than the highest paid Negroes of this city receives for salary. He came to Kansas City five years ago to work in the Eureka Drug store, and now he is operating three stores of his own. Mr. Smith contemplates running a summer garden and he also intends to renovate his Twelth street drug store. He is installing up-to-date cash registers in all of his places. Mr. Smith writes his checks freely to charitable institutions, and is always willing to give his support to anything that will benefit the race. Is such a man, who is contributing so much valuable aid to his race worth keeping in this community, or shall we allow a few jealous, bias, hungry physicians to drive him out of town. One of the most important things which has enable Dr. Smith to maintain his position in the community against the strong opposition of certain physicians is his valuable knowledge of various medicines. He has a knowledge of over 142 formulas and is constantly putting them on the market. It is through this information and long experience in the drug business which has enabled him to get by. It matters not what is your complaint, if it can be cured by drugs, Dr. Smith can reach your case by selecting from his large store of private formulas, a formula that will cure your particular case. In the last 18 months he has cured over 236 persons and has written testimonials to that effect. He has sent his preparations as far east as New York, and as far west as California, and as far south as North Carolina. Mr. Smith has been and is doing an extensive business ever since the negro physicians held a meeting and decided to boycott his store. The public has not been aware of what this genius has been doing but later on you will see more of his work showing to the Negroes that he is a great Negro leader in the commercial world and that he has made good. Here is one of his prescriptions for the rheumatism: Potassi Iodidi zi Sodii Sol zi Tongaline zi Smith anagesic Co qs zi M—Sig—zi—tid After meals If you should have this prescription filled at any one of his stores it will cost you 75 cents and if it should fail to cure you, he will refund you your money.

He has been connected with the Second Baptist church during his entire life in this community; doing great work for the church. He has been identified with every race enterprise tending toward the uplift of the race. At present his steady and sincere work in the Y. M. C. A. is attracting great attention A. because of his splendid progress Mr. Ross took charge of the Y. M. C. A. when it had completely gone to almost failure. Prof. Starnes was the original organizer, but it was left to Mr. Ross to follow him and slowly build the institution on a stronger basis. At present his great work is confined to a $2,000 canvass. Mr. Ross well deserves the hearty co-operation of his face. His work is an open book, even onward to make good Christians and citizens out of our young men. This is his great aim in life. He intends to build a large construction and to have a more complete outfit for the Y. M. C. A. KANSAS CITY, MO.. SATURDAY, APRIL 6, 1907. Springfield, Mo. News knightly band. God bless our landers. Springfield, Mo. News. FROM $PRINGF$ELD. Editor Rising Son. Dear Sir— Hon. A. W. Lloyd, G. C., Knight of Pythias for Missouri, wrote me recently that you would like to have an article from Springfield and that I must tell you something. Well, my dear sir the Negroes of Springfield have lots to be thankful for and they need to get together and do something that will better the condition of the race and serve as an incentive for our young people—Springfield is quite a society town—three Masonic lodges, the K. of P., Knights of Tabar, Odd Fellows and very soon we will have the U. B. F.'s and G. M. T.s. The Royal Arch Masons and Court of Heroines of Jericho observed Palm Sunday here on the 24th and Dr. J. S. Dorsey, the efficient pastor of Washington ave., Baptist church, preached for them a masterful sermon on the subject: "Ideal Womanhood." The sermon was truly a treat of admonition and edification and was replete with rich gems of nature. The sermon was well received and by the way, Dr. Dorsey is doing a great work here for the race and for his denomination. Springfield needs more such men and better still, Dr. Dorsey is a true Pythian and M. of Ex. of Fidelity lodge No. 7 on Sunday night March 24th. The K. of P and Court of Calanthe held their anniversary and Easter exercises at Washington Aye. Baptist church. The occasion was said to have been the grandest affair in the history of the order in Springfield and on Monday night, the 25th the order held a reception in their castle hall, at which, the Knight Templars of St. Andrews and Commandery No. 27 turned out in full dress and attended in a body. The occasion was a grand affair—the leading ministers of the city turning out and taking part—the Knights of Pythias of Missouri under the Leadership of A. W. Lloyd, are making themselves felt, and are doing a work for the race that can not be gained said; they are proving beyond support and his ability to manage and conduct great enterprises for the elevation and amelidation of the race. Mr. Lloyd is certainly an organizer and has done more for the in way of organization and influencing the leading Negro educators of the state to enroll in the K. of P's than all the other G. C. combined. Since the last session in Kansas City last July, he has organized 4 new lodges with a membership of 875 and two companies of the U. R. He is a Pythian that is doing things. His motto seems to be "When you have a good thing, push it along." A. W. Lloyd is certainly the right man in the right place. I am glad to note, also, that the colored press of Missouri has contributed very much to his success in the work of organizing and promoting the success and onward march of our progress in Pythianism and the Pythians throughout the jurisdiction should rally to the support of these journals. Pythians. Calanthians, Sir Knights of the U. R. if you have been slow and tardy in your support of these Negro journals, let me urge you and insist that you wake up and do something substantial, take the papers, read them, distribute them among the brothers and last but most important, pay for them. The writer, is proud to report that we now have a promising U. R. company in Springfield and when you get ready to board the train for Louisville, next August look for "syracuse" company No. 1, from Springfield. The Knights Templars of this city, together with Euclid Chapter No. 24, O. E. G., observed Easter at the C. P. Church Sunday, March 21st. An interesting musical and literary program was rendered. The Knights were looking their best. Drs. Dorsey and Simpson, made telling speeches, discussing what the race needs and what we must do. Dr. Slapson is the newly called pastor of Gysson Chapel C. P. church. RISING SON GAL FOUR church and is an able and scholarly minister. We predict for him a successful and beneficial stay in Springfield. We invite more such men and God bless our race. God bless out knightly band. God bless our leaders and give us more competent and worthy ones. God bless our press. God enable us all to come up fully to the measure of our opportunities, realizing that "we grow, like the things our souls believe and rise or sink as we aim high or low. JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION The entire office force of the Washington and Richmond headquarters has been moved to 194 Cumberland street, Norfolk, Virginia, where the work is now being carried on with a vigor and thoroughness that betokens results of a most satisfactory character. The United Order of True Reformers, of whica Rev. W. L. Taylor, of Richmond, is president, is to illustrate in a practical way the development of the Negro as a banker. They will erect a substantial building, and throughout the life of the Exposition, will have in full operation a model bank, with safe deposit attachment, staff of cashier and tellers, and wik handle the money of concessionaires, receive deposits from visitors and employees, and transact a regular banking business for all who may require such service. Our people may congratulate them selves upon the happy location of the Negro Building. It is situated near the main entrance to the Exposition grounds, and faces the principal thoroughfare—the first and most conspicuous structure the visitor sees when he passes through the gates. The North Carolina exhibit will be especially fine, perhaps the most elaborate of the state exhibits. The work from the North Carolina institution for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind will be worth traveling many miles to see. This comprehensive exhibit is due to the energetic labors of Dr. C. N. Hunter, secretary of the State Commission, and Field Agent C. H. Williamson. It will be remembered that the state of North Carolina appropriated the handsome sum of $5,000 to aid their progressive colored citizens in letting the world know how rapidly they are moving for ward. W. Sidney Pittman, who has been in Norfolk and at the Exposition grounds supervising the erection of the imposing structure he has designed, is one of the leading architects in this country, irrespective of race or color. He is a graduate of the Tuskegee Institute, and of the Drexel School of Fine Arts at Philadelphia. The building is a classic structure, 213 by 129 feet, two stories in height, and will cost $10,000. It will be in itself a monumental exhibit of the artistic and mechanical genius of the Negro people in America. The Indianapolis Freeman, a news paper that enjoys a national reputation, and which is conceded to be one of the most influential race champions in the land, is out in a strong editorial endorsement of the Negro Exhibit. The race press can always afford to follow where Freeman leads. Wilberforce University and Hampston institute will make displays that are sure to attract widespread attention. ERNEST HOGAN IN "RUFUS RAS TUS" The unbleached American is playing in a very good musical comedy, which has attracted much attention for the past two years. This is the last year Mr. Hogan will play "Rufus Rastus." He will start from New York next year with a new company entitled "The Minister to Blazazas." The lyrics of this company and of the new company were composed by Mr. Lester A. Waldon, an old newspaper man of St. Louis, Mo. Remember that H. C.

THE YOUNG MEN MUST STAND TOGETHER. In this community there is a conspiracy on a part of some of the older men to hold our young men down. This has been in evidence on several occasions. The older men some of which have not taken advantage of their opportunities' find themselves being crowded by our younger men and they feel that the young men should be held back. Everywhere a young man sticks his head up for recognition, he finds the older man with the big stick ready to beat him back in line. The older men stir up strife between the young men in order to keep them from progressing. What must the young man do? They must Stick together. They must organize in order to advance. They must be prepared together to fight their way to the front. Just a few days ago a Negro principal refused to support a Negro enterprise carried on by the pupils of the various negro schools of this city we dare say, some of them possibly went to him. Now what is his duty as a teacher. Here they are. First he is to give his children knowledge and teach them race pride. Second he is supposed by his own actions to train them in the manner in which they should follow. We wish to ask the public, has he done this? His job is a public position, held by the virtue of the race which he represents. Hundreds of families send their children to his school. They are sent there to receive a uniform education, but he in the very act of educating them throttles the ambition of those gone on ahead. Is this true education. No! It is a farce. It only shows he is a figure head and is only working for the salary it pays him, and not sincerely for the race. Young men you must stand together. Don't let the [Name] MRS, N. J. REYNOLDS. The Only Living Chartered Member of Allen Chapel, A. M. E. Mr. N. J. Reynolds, a historical church woman of our race, and evangelist of the Colorado conference, is a pioneer citizen of Kansas City. She is visiting her son, Mr. Wm. Bowles, of 719 E. Sixta St., and a host of old friends. She was married in this city about 39 years ago to Mr. Byrson Bowles and later moved to Colorado; since which time she lost her husband in that state, and later in 1895 was the second time married to Mr. John Reynolds. The great religious worker was inspired and moved by the spirit of Almighty God to go into all the world and preach the everlasting gospel. She started as an evangelist from the Colorado Conference appointed by Bishop Tanner in 1899. Having been successful in her work in Colorado, she came eastward and has been very active this year in the evangelical work in her home state. She visited a large number of churches in Missouri, and says she finds a great need of enthusiastic church women who will go into the mission old men throttle your ambition.

Dr. Theo Smith, our popular and successful druggist will sell his 3 drug stores some time in the near future. He intends entering the drug business in Boston, Mass, where he will make his future home. The firm will fall in the hands of his faithful employees. Dr. S. E. Johnson, Dr. J. H. Chisselle and Dr. R. E. Andrews, and will be known as the Johnson, Chisselle and Andrews Drug Co. The Negro business Promoters Club will tender him a farewell reception at which the public will be invited. There will be speeches made by some of the best speakers of the state. Dr. Smith will talk and he will endeavor to show certain Negro physicians in their true colors and will no doubt say some sensational things. He will show the inconsistency that exists among some of our physicians and their unethical methods they practice. Dr Smith in this speech shall explain his true position. THE DEATH OF W. B. THAYER. A Great Friend of the Negroes and of The Rising Son. W. B. Thayer of the firm of Emery Bird and Thayer passed away just a few days ago. He is greatly mourned by the entire Negro race of this city. Mr. Thayer was always a friend of the race. He has been contributing to the success of this paper for ten years in the form of advertisements. He was a personal subscriber to this paper for eight years. The Rising Son greatly regrets his death. Let the Negroes earnestly pray that some of the good white men of this country who are friends of the race be spared unto us. work with all their mind and strength to do something for God and humanity. The most interesting feature about the sketch of this character is that she is one of the founders of Allen Chapel in 1867 the first A. M. E. church, it was at that time located on Locust, between Third and Fourth streets. The first pastor of that church was Rev. William Owsley, who formerly resided in Carrollton, Mo. There were only eight members who constituted the organization which was perfected by the Presiding of Leavenworth, Kansas, Rey, J. C Emery, who later became to be a Bishop. The following are the eight charter members of the church of which all are dead except Mrs. Reynolds, whose former name was Annie Brown: William Lewis, Robert Campbell, Smith Douglass, Peter Wills, Delpha Lewis, Nancy Rounds, Nannie Brown and Phenix Brown. Mrs. Reynolds will be glad to have her friends call while in the city which will only be about two weeks more, and then will return to Colorado Springs. She will preach next Wednesday night at the A.

RIGHT SORT OF CORN BREAD. Found Only in Tennessee, According to Nashville American. The best cornmeal in the world is made in Tennessee—though the output is limited and not much of it reaches the market where urbanites dwell. The steam buhrstone has driven the water mill almost into desuetude, only to be in turn crowded out by the modern roller mill. The ancient water mill still lingers in remote sections and mountain fastnesses where clear waters flow through pebbly channels in sylvan shades. More than one of these ideal mills may be found on Fighting creek in Sevier county, under the shadows of the Big Smoky, and near unto Sugarland region, where the untaxed juice of the corn flows from modest and retiring stills. There are many such mills in the Unaka region, and in various sections of middle Tennessee, where the withering blight of modern civilization, with its canned goods and packing house meats, has not yet penetrated, and where one may Listen to the water mill Wears the weary hours away. But they don't bring the meal to town. The town-raised person's taste is too vitiated to appreciate it, says the Nashville American. When he eats corn bread at all with his oleomargarine or canned soup, he wants the roller, mill product, which suggested the idea of sawdust breakfast food to a Battle Creek Yankee. The right sort of corn bread is made from meal ground on a slow-running water mill from corn that has been well dried, the little end of the ear shelled off for the chickens or pigs, the rotten grains carefully eliminated, and the corn run through a fan mill. Before being made into bread the meal is sited through a wire sleeve or sitter, the meshes of which are not too fine. Then if good bread is not produced it is the fault of the cook. The use of sugar in making any form of corn bread should be made a felony. There is as much difference between bread from properly ground meal and the common meal of commerce as there is between a Smithfield ham and a packing house ham. Some insurance companies refuse to issue policies on the lives of those who dye their hair. To Fix Loose Knife Handles.

Will Cater to Banquets and Parties at my place Round About New York Gossip of People and Things in the Great Metropolis SAGE FUND TO BE USED IN FIGHT ON POVERTY NEW YORK.—It is announced by one of the group of men who will have much to do with expenditure of the income of the $10,000,000 fund Mrs. Russell Sage has given to charify that the money will be spent largely in a practical struggle with poverty. The purpose is to improve the "social and living conditions" and high-browed visionaries need not apply. In speaking of Mrs. Sage's purpose, this authority said: "We used to think poverty arose largely from defects of character. Now we know it may arise from vastly different causes and that an upright, average citizen may find himself up against it.' He needs a boost. "Here is a poor scrubwoman, middle-aged. She makes five or six dollars a week. She has a horror of an unknown grave. She takes out some insurance the real purpose of which is to provide a decent burial for her. It is a good thing. But why should this woman be compelled to pay such NEW YORK wage earners will save $25,000.00 a year by means of the rapid transit subways which are to be opened next summer. This total represents only by saving in rent, carfare and time. They will save much more in the matter of health and in general peace of mind. But such savings cannot be reduced to a cash basis, although they will represent a large cash gain in the decrease of doctors' bills, drug bills and other expenses which accompany congested residential conditions in Manhattan. Another item of saving might be calculated from the reduction of social extravagances when there is a wider distribution of Manhattan's population throughout suburban districts. And still another gain will come from the increased business which can be transacted by quicker communication between all parts of the metropolis. Thousands of persons will be able to do more business FORTUNES ARE PAID OUT IN PENSIONS TO POLICE THE official report of the police-pension fund for the year ended December 31, 1906, has just left the hands of the printers. The report makes a book of some bulk; in it are presented the total receipts and expenditures in detail for the year. Nothing could give a better idea of the financial condition of the men of the department than is to be had from an examination of the figures as given in the report, which sets down every dollar received and disbursed during the year and the name of every contributor to the income account as well as those who benefited by the accumulated fund. There are a few names in the long list which once were a power in the city's affairs, not only as to police matters, but in other directions as well. There is Thomas Byrnes, one time chief, who retired from the force when Roosevelt was commissioner, and who is credited with being possessed of a large fortune which he accumulated in Wall street, where he was piloted to success by the late Jay Gould and other magnates of the street in those days. Byrnes was said to have looked after the physical welfare of the rail- A PERMANENT national fair to contain exhibits from every state in the union and to be housed in a $14,000,000 building in this city is planned by some of the state societies having headquarters here. The project contemplates a continuous exposition, including the best features of world's fairs of the past and luxurious clubrooms for the state societies. Congress will be asked at its next session to appropriate $5,000,000 toward this enterprise, and each of the state legislatures will be asked for $200,000. The leaders in the movement, which began with the Michigan society, say they have been assured of support by many members of congress and by several state legislators. a sum as will allow the company, taking all the other patrons together, to put up a magnificent $15,000,000 building and pay big salaries, dividends and all that. The Sage foundation trustees could, if they choose, give insurance at a reasonable cost. "Again, here is a decent young fellow, say 25 years old, with a wife and children. He develops tuberculosis. The trustees of the Sage foundation, under their charter, would send that man away and take care of his family until he got well. "Still another field of activity that might be found is seeing that the poor get as much for their money as the rich do for theirs. Take the man who buys his coal by the pail. Every one knows he pays twice as much for it as the man who buys it by the ton. The trustees of the Sage foundation might decide to establish coal yards where coal by the pail could be purchased as cheaply as by the ton. Many other ways of practical charity stand open to the trustees." SUBWAYS MEAN A SAVING OF MILLIONS TO WORKERS in the same time. They will make more money. Then money will circulate more rapidly and general business will be stimulated. Such savings in the abstract cannot be estimated even approximately. It is known in general, however, that the total must be many millions a year. The $35,000,000 which will be saved each year in carfare, rent and time is a definite quantity. It will be divided among the persons who readjust their residential surroundings to the new transit conditions. It will affect 700,000 people directly, because they will travel over the new express lines every day. It will affect 1,700,000 indirectly, because they are dependent on the first 700,000. The total number of persons affected will be 2,400,000. New Jersey will get the largest benefits from this year's new tunnels, because the suburban sections in that quarter of the rapid transit zone are more advanced than those in northern and eastern sections. road man many a time, and it was, so the story ran, in recognition of such extra official work by Byrnes that "tips" in the stock market were showered upon him. Byrnes is the recipient of $3,000 a year from the pension fund, and he will continue upon the pay roll so long as he lives. Another old-timer, long since forgotten by the public, which once he "ruled" from No. 300 Mulberry street, is William Murray, also said to be beyond the reach of the gaunt and hungry wolf, which he was able to shoo so far from his bungalow that, unlike the cat, it never came back. The pension fund's contribution to his exchequer is the same as Pyrnes—$3,000 a year. The other of the trio of $3,000 pensioners is John McCullagh. McCullagh, while never such a figure in police affairs, so far as notoriously goes, was counted a tiptop man, and one of whom the department has no reason to be ashamed. These three—Byrnes, Murray and McCullagh—draw the highest pensions paid out of the fund, the total disbursements of which were $1,400,242.10, a great sum for even this rich municipality to disburse in charity, if such it may be called. STATE SOCIETIES PLAN PERMANENT FAIR HERE STATE SOCIETIES PLAN PERMANENT FAIR HERE and believe they can carry it through. Robert C. Auld, a member of the Michigan society, is one of the advocates of the plan. He said recently: "The building not only will serve the business interests of the state, but will be an enduring monument to the idea of statehood as conceived by the framers of the constitution. Once it is completed, no American citizen will die content without seeing it. It will advertise the existence of our commonwealth, too often forgotten beyond the metropolitan limit." William J.

"The Army War College building, which occupies a commanding site at the Washington Barracks reservation on the banks of the Potomac," remarked an army officer the other day, "although comparatively little known to the people of the country at large, is from an architectural standpoint one of the finest structures in the national capital. In fact, several distinguished architects in attendance at the recent convention in this city freely expressed the opinion that the building was not only the best work ever done by Architect McKim, but was the finest specimen of architecture in the United States, not accepting the Capitol building. This effect was produced despite the fact that the limited appropriations available compelled the use of the commonest building material, such as common red brick and sandstone. I know that Major Sewell, the engineer officer who superintended the construction of the building is exceedingly proud of his work, and considers it a better job all around than the new government printing office, which also was built by him. The War College is practically finished save in a few min or details, and could be occupied now if it were necessary. It will be entirely finished in every particular and turned over to the government in about a month. It is now open for inspection, and is well worth a visit by everybody interested in first-class architecture." Somewhat Mixed. "Some very funny things happen in making up applications for enlistment in the army," remarked an army man to the Washington Star rounder the other day. "At atracting stations it is always necessary for the applicant to state in his application the nationality of his father, his residence and his occupation, besides writing answers to a score of other questions. A young fellow bearing the Teutonic name of Schmidt and showing plainly that he had not been in this country very many years, filled out one of these blanks. Quite naturally he was not very well acquainted with the custom and meaning of our English words. He disposed of the three leading questions concerning his father as follows: Nationality, German; residence, deceased; occupation, fireman." Congressman Writing Novel Congressman Andrew Jackson Barchfield of Pittsburg, next to the towering Cy Sulloway of New Hampshire tallest man in the house, is writing a romantic novel of life in Virginia. He refuses to discuss the subject with his fellow statesmen and it was only by accident that he let out the secret to a friend. This was brought about by his asking the friend to secure for him the exact words of several famous Virginia melodies dear to the hearts of the colored folks of antebellum days. Into his novel he will weave these old plantation songs. Think Towne Will Remain. Representative Charles A. Towne's announced determination permanently to retire from politics with the expiration of this congress is not accepted at its full value by persons who are intimately acquainted with him, says the Chicago Chronicle. They say that he belongs to that numerous class of Americans who take to politics and seek its rewards with the same ardor and energy as men of business do in their various vocations. Charles Edward Sells an Invention By Harrison Rhodes (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) When the Austins are in a mood to invite confidences most men tell their troubles at once. It was only the shortest time after Turner, the inventor, had been lunching with Charles Edward Austin and his wife, Lady Angela, that he was engaged in a somewhat long account of his experiments in artificial refrigeration. "He would have liked to say—'of purchasing a five dollar gold piece for a dollar,' he said instead. He went no further, for the young woman clasped her hands together in an apparent ecstacy of innocence and rapture. "Oh, I should just love to," she said. "I hope it is a—'good thing.' Is Turner had perfected what one may describe briefly as an ice-making machine of great efficiency. Turner's invention enabled one, with a trifling expenditure of money and trouble to carry the inestimable comforts of cool drinks and of healthful and fresh food everywhere. "This is no longer experimental!" inquired Charles Edward. "You can really do this?" "Yes," said Turner. "But what I don't understand," continued Charles Edward. "is why I find you saying you're down on your luck. You ought to be within fifteen or twenty minutes, the richest man living." "Oh, I don't know," murmured Turner. "I don't understand anything about business. And I thought my invention would be so splendid for the arms." "Wonderful for field hospitals," said Lady Angela. "Yes," assented Turner, brightening. "and so I've been trying to sell the whole thing to the government. But it's no good. I thought I had better not sell my patent altogether, so I offered to sell the government for five years the right to make my machine for the use of the army, for—" and he hesitated—"for fifteen hundred dollars." Charles Edward turned to the inventor. "Your machine is worth fifteen thousand, well worth it, isn't it?" "Yes, I suppose it really is." "Then, why," pursued Charles Edward, "when you only ask fifteen hundred do you expect the war department will ever think it worth more? "You may take it from me," he went on—that if you offer a thing for less than its worth no one will believe it is worth anything. No one will trust it, no one will believe it is genuine. Why, I dare say I might go up to the capitol and offer to every one who came along—" Charles Edward stopped with extraordinary abruptness and his eye gleamed. Lady Angela leaned forward. "Well," said Charles Edward at length with the utmost calm, "to morrow upon the steps of the capitol I will publicly prove all that I have just been saying, and I trust end in selling your invention to the war department for a reasonable price." At about 11 the next morning a western member, hurrying to an appointment for which he was already late, descended the steps of the capitol two at a time. Half way down he was stopped by a young gentleman who had been standing contemplatively in the sun. "I beg your pardon," began the stranger, in a tone at once confidential and confident, putting his hand upon the legislator's arm. "I'm sorry," broke in the congressman, "but I can't give you a moment. If you want an interview come to the Ebbitt house to-night about nine and ask for me." "That would be delightful," said the young man. "But I don't know who you are." "Don't know who I am!" Then why the dickens have you stopped me?" "Do you take me for a fool?" "No, naturally you wouldn't buy it at this price. You don't believe it's good. Neither do the people in the war department." "Have you been trying to sell twenty dollar gold pieces to them for five dollars?" "Not exactly," said Charles Edward, "but a friend of mine has been doing what amounts to the same thing." "Is your friend as mad as you are?" he asked at last, surprised at himself for putting the question so seriously. "There is more method in my madness. You stay and watch if you like. No one will buy from me." "Hi, there, Joe!" shouted the western member as if in response to this. A fat man with a red tuff on his chin turned, and came towards them. "Here's a good thing for you, Joe," continued his friend, "Twenty dollars for five." The newcomer's comment was in almost too picturesque and extravagant language, yet the would be salesman did not seem downcast. "This story," remarked the representative of a Metropolitan journal who had just joined the crowd, "with care, can be made a warm one. Would you us as soon as not," he asked Charles Edward, "try it once again, just to let me see the game." "I might, I suppose," was the response, not too enthusiastically given. "Well, here comes somebody, and she's a 'cooker,' too!" exclaimed the journalist, capping Lady Angela. "Madame, I offer you a most impa- tualled opportunity of behaving dis- "Yes." said Turner. creetly," he would have liked to say—"of purchasing a five dollar gold piece for a dollar," he said instead. He went no further, for the young woman clasped her hands together in an apparent ecstacy of innocence and rapture. "Oh, I should just love to," she said. "I hope it is a—a 'good thing' is it? It looks very funny to me somehow." Everyone started. This then was the explanation of the young man's seeming madness. Lady Angela again produced a gold piece and looked appealingly at the men around. Moved by chivalry and by the love of sensation also, they rushed forward to examine the coin. "It's a bad one, madam, if ever there was," said a reporter with red hair. "I think it's horrid of him," complained the young woman, turning an accusing face upon Charles Edward A Half Way Down He Was Stopped. "What ought i to do," she asked of the redhead gentleman who seemed so markedly sympathetic. "Arrest him of course," and he bounded away towards the policeman at the top of the capital steps. At this point he was interrupted by a stalwart blue arm laid upon his own. Charles Edward has a generous spirit and he would be the first to admit that his wife's intervention had given to the whole affair a publicity beyond anything to which his own unpaid efforts could have attained. It was a sheer delight to read the headlines: Member of Smart New York Society Arrested for passing Counterfeit money Earl's daughter accuses husband Of being blackler As for Washington, the next day it did nothing less than bolt its lunch and precipitate itself upon the dingy police court, where it was understood that the examination was to be held that afternoon. The appearance in the witness box of Lady Angela, in a mauve costume of Parisian origin, quieted the assemblage. But, alas, the witness, in the prettiest, and completest way, broke down in her evidence. Yes, she admitted, she did buy a gold piece from her husband, paying him a silver dollar. "And he gave you this coin, now in the possession of the police?" "Well," said Lady Angela, "that's just what, now I think of it, I can't be sure of at all. You see I put it at once into this purse," and she held up a network article for inspection; "there were a good many other gold coins there. They may have got mixed up." "Then you have no idea how you came to have this coin?" "I cannot possibly tell," replied Lady Angela, evading the question and the necessity of lying at one and the same moment. It was evident Charles Edward must be acquitted. There it was. But the judge experienced a pardonable curiosity to know the reason of the prisoner's behavior. "Let me tell you, then," cried Edward Edward enthusiastically—and did so. An enunciation of a great moral truth, such a description of Turner's portable ice machine as in the overheated atmosphere of the courtroom moved everyone. At first, it must be confessed, the incomparability and humor of the whole thing were what eluded struck the people. Then the representatives of the press regarded headway, as it were. Turner, being at hand, was interviewed at length. Then they descended upon the secretary of war. Somewhat continued, that gentleman admitted that he had heard nothing of the Turner machine, that it was doubtless being investigated, that he would himself personally see that it was so investigated. "He had better," was succinctly put, the editorial comment everywhere next day. Charles. Edward's photograph appeared in sixteen weeklies and in two hundred and fifteen dailies. He leading merchant in New York put on sale the "Lady Austin Dust Cloak." And on the fourth day the department of war offered Turner twenty thousand dollars for his invention. --- TONIC FOR MOTHERS Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Are Safe and Reliable—A Favorite Household Remedy. Motherhood may be the crowning blessing of a woman's life or it may bring grief and sorrow. Mrs. M. J. Wight, of 170 Seventh Street, Auburn, Maine, relates her experience after the birth of her daughter in 1901, as follows: "I was all run down at the time the baby came and did not improve in health rapidly after. I was pale, thin and bloodless. My stomach distressed me being full of gas all the time and my heart fluttered so that I could scarcely breathe. "Finally I remembered that a friend had recommended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to me so I commenced using them. I gained in strength rapidly while the baby throve also. When I expected my next child I started taking the pills again as a tonic and strengthener and had no such difficulty as before. I got up better and my strength came back much sooner. "A year ago last winter I and an attack of rheumatism in the hands which wear from one hand to the other. The joints swelled up and were so stiff I could not move them. The pain extended up through my arms and shoulders. I felt sick enough to go to bed but did not do so. This attack lasted for several months. I tried several remedies but finally came back to using the pills which had done me so much good before and found that they benefited me almost at once. I have not been troubled since." All drugists sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, or they will be sent by mail post-paid, on receipt of price. 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N.

A notable confirmation took place recently in Dublin, at the pro-cathedral. Archbishop Walsh conferred the sacrament of confirmation on nearly a thousand children. The actual conferring lasted two hours, and the ceremony was concluded by the administering of the temperance pledge and a strong exhortation to the children to discharge faithfully all their religious duties. Benefits of the X-Bay It is noted from Baltimore that during the ten years since the discovery of the X-ray important research has been made by the medical department of Johns Hopkins university through the use of the ray as a diagnostic agent; and the results of great benefits derived from the early diagnosis and study of aneurisms, or morbid dilation of the walls of arteries, through this agent, have just been compiled and described by Dr F. Howard Bactjar, of the university. OLD CANNON CAN'T BE BROKEN. Armament of Old Craft Was Made to Last. A good story is being told at the Mare Island navy yard concerning a San Francisco contractor who bought all the old obsolete cannon which were sold at the local yard some time ago. The cannon were all of the smooth bore kind, and in order that they might be easily handled for shipment to the city all sorts of schemes were tried to endeavor to break them with dynamite and blasting powder, but they were unsuccessful. An electric drill machine was even get up at the yards and the cannon were drilled full of holes in order to weaken them for breaking open with wedges, but this was also unsuccessful. The cannon were then taken away and the last heard of them they were corralled in the hills near Point Richmond, where an effort was being made to break them open with dynamite again. The cannon which proved to be so strong were among the armament of the war craft which sailed the seas in 1812. A FRIENDLY GROCER. Dropped a Valuable Hint About Coffee. "For about eight years," writes a Mich. woman, "I suffered from nervousness—part of the time down in bed with nervous prostration. "Sometimes I would get pumb and it would be almost impossible for me to speak for a spell. At others, I would have severe billious attacks, and my heart would flutter painfully when I would walk fast or sweep. "I have taken enough medicine to start a small drug store, without any benefit. One evening our grocer was asking husband how I was and he urged that I quit coffee and use Postum, so he brought home a pig, and I made it according to directions and we were both delighted with it. "So we quit coffee altogether and used only Postum. I began to get better in a month's time and look like another person, the color came back to my checks. I began to sleep well, my appetite was good and I commenced to take on flesh and become interested in everything about the house. "Finally I was able to do all my own work without the least sign of my old trouble. I am so thankful for the little book, The Road to Wellville." It has done me so much good. I haven't taken medicine of any kind for six months and don't need any. "A friend of ours who did not like Postum as she made it, liked mine, and when she learned to boil it long enough, her's was as good as mine. It's easy if you follow directions."

Does he think this paper is being run on a little $1.50 that he is withholding from us? You are entirely mistaken. We don't need you but you will need us sooner then you expect. A man of your supposed standing, holding a position by the virtue of the race that refuse to support a race enterprize. We say Pooh! on that kind of a Negro Leader. Well we wont shed any crocodile tears, but we are going to tell the community things we know about you. Because we refused to write up some certain teachers, you thought you were getting back at us. Well you will hear from us. You are not to big for us to tell of your faults. You made a mistake this time. OUR POLICY—The management of this paper takes a decided stand for honesty as the best policy. We propose to give every one a square deal, and we only ask for the same. It shall be the constant endeavors of the new management to place this paper upon a high basis, to stand for the right, to speak out against, and expose the wrong, to commend the aggressive and successful, to encourage and defend the weak and struggling whose ideals are high and whose motives are pure, to champion the cause for the best interest of the Negro race. To fight for good in the name of God. To the Negroes who desire to see, to have and maintain a good Negro weekly newspaper, which has been the cry heard around and annot the city. We wish to say that it will take a great deal more than talk to do that, however, we assure you that if you will subscribe for the Son and pay for it, and induce your friends to do the same, it will not be long until your desires be fulfilled.

This paper earnestly wishes that the charges against J. W. Bailey one of the Negro officers in the city are false. Mr. Bailey has been an efficient officer striving to do his duty. Though we wish you to understand that we do not approve of any officer going to any private residence or business place and openly abusing private citizens. The charges against Mr. Bailey are as follows, and were made by E. Hopel of 1654 West 9th st. Thus: I hereby charge Officer J. W. Bailey with conduct unbecoming an officer. Part of the acts complained of occurred in my store, 1654 W. Ninth street. The only witness there at that time was my wife.

Bell Phone 3136 Main EIFFEL TOWER AS WAR EYE EIFFE 1 When the Eiffel Tower was built at Paris its sole mission in life was the affording of sensation-loving people the opportunity of attaining a glitter height and looking down upon the earth as it lay stretched out below its dating projector had no other thought than that of supplying a new amusement feature for the Paris explosion about to open, and up to the present time it has found no place useful use save that of adding meteorologists in studying weather conditions from its thouand foot altitude. But with the development of wireless telegraphy has come a new and important field of service which sit once gives the French nation a command over its army and navy and the country round which it had not documented of a few years ago. Eiffel Tower is to become nothing less than the gigantic war eve of the nation that will sweep the whole of France—her frontiers, her chains of fortresses and her seaboard—for it has been made the central point of the great wireless signal system of the French army and navy. From the top of the tower, which is 984 foot from the ground, officials of the army may direct military operations in any part of the republic, and even for considerable distances over the troutier in adjoining counties. Its naval ships in the Mediterranean, the Bay of Biseay, the English channel the North sea or the Baltic will be in constant touch with the directing authorities in Paris. Should France and England become allies in some future conflict, direct communication with London can be maintained from the Eiffel tower. Southward from it waves of warning and command will float into Algeria and Tunis. From this remarkable tower may issue orders that will change the map of Europe. During the army maneuvers last fall the various corps were directed from the new station. Later, fleet movements in the English channel and the Mediterranean were ordered without a bitch in the same way. Quite recently the scope of communication from the tower has been extended, so that now messages are exchanged with London and Berlin son the one side, and with Tunis and Algiers, on the African coast, on the other. The work of equipping it for signal purposes is now going on, and it is expected to install there the most complete system of wireless telegraphy in the world. The French are pleased with the idea of retaining the architectural curiosity, and their vanity is tickled by the plan to make it the most wonderful war eye on the globe. Indeed, the enthusiastic people confidently expect, in a short time, to see airships arriving at and departing from this great steel stem—an airship station nearly 1,000 feet above earth. From the top of the Eiffel tower on a clear day one can see about 85 miles. At night a searchlight from this enmence stabs the surrounding darkness. At its base this wonderful tower covers nearly two and a half acres of ground. Its lower section consists of four built-up iron columns, each of which consists of four smaller columns, resting on masonry piers. Springing gracefully upward, the four main columns curve toward each other until, 620 feet above the surface, they join in a single column. Above this the longer needle of the tower rises 364 feet higher. At 189 feet, at 380 feet and again at 906 feet there are platforms which are reached by elevators, as well as by stairs. From the highest platform a winding stairway climbs to the very pinnacle of the structure, but this part has never been open to the public. When these different platforms are converted into airship stations, the French will, indeed, possess a novelty of which they may be proud. When the French complete the equipment of the Eiffel tower as the eye and brain of their military operations, they will doubtless have some stardust innovation to present. Upon a peace footing the French army consists of about 550,000 men; the total war strength of the nation is figured at something over 4,600,000. Were the armies of France to invade Germany England or Italy, they could be directed by the Eiffel tower station far into those countries—to the capitals of England and Germany, did they succeed in getting that far. But if the main duty were defense of the republic's home territory, the wireless service would probably be even better, as more or less permanent stations could be erected along the line of frontier fortifications from which to communicate with Eiffel. When the new frontier line was drawn by Germany after the war of 1870, it was so arranged that all the strongest positions should fall on the German side of the line. France's first line of defense stands back from the frontier, at Verdun, Toul, Belfort and Bussane. The defenses of Paris are 50 miles away from the city, extending around it in a circle of fortifications so that an invading army—the Germans, for example—even after overcoming the first line of defense would have to break through this inner ring. For that reason there will never be another siege of Paris in the same sense as the last one. Should an enemy get past the 59-mile chain of forts there would be no other obstacle in marching upon the city. Here, then, is the necessity for a vigilant war eye at the capital overbooking all the military area within the frontiers. The army corps at Nancy would undoubtedly bear the first shock of a German advance; every turn of the tide of conflict must be known at once to Paris, so that the other corps could be promptly moved like men on a chessboard. In a similar way the fleets under the tricolor could be moved, France's great navy would be cemented into a mobile and effective whole. She has an active service 557 fighting ships of all kinds and 237 other vessels. DIFFER IN CARRYING MONEY. Peculiarities Noticed in Men of Various Nations. It is interesting to note the various methods in which men of different nationalities carry their worldly wealth. The Englishman and the American carry their gold, silver, copper and paper money all loose in their trousers pocket, pull out a handful of the mixture in an opulent way, and select the piece they need. The American, when he does carry a pocketbook, places his "wad of bills" in a long, narrow affair, sometimes called a wallet, in which the green-backs lie flat. The Frenchman mzkes use of a leather puse with no distinguishing characteristics. The German uses one gaviyi embroidered in silks by the fair bands of some Lottenhe. The capitalist from some torrid South American city carries his dollars in a belt with cunningly devised pockets to battle the gentlemen of the light-fingered class. Some of these belts are very expensive. The Italian of the poorer clauses ties up his little fortune in a gayly-colored handkerchief, secured with many knots, which he secretes in some mysterious fashion about his clothes. A similar course has charms for the Spanish, while the lower class Russian exhibits a preference for his boots or the lining of his clothes as a binding place for his savings. Many American men deem the carrying of a pocketbook to indicate a parsimonious nature on the part of the owner. "A good fellow," it has been said, "always carries his money in his pocket." Little Royalties Are Modest. The empress of Russia is following the traditions of her English parentage in the training of her children. This is shown very clearly in the style of dress which her majesty selects for them, and her example ought to have a good influence upon juvenile fashions in the high-born families of Muscovy, some of which are much given to ostentatious display. For everyday wear the four girls and their baby brother are dressed alike, the material used in warm weather being white cotton or cream serge, with sailor collars and plain black silk bows tied in an English navy knot. The four princesses always wear black stockings of cashmere, made in Nottingham, with no openwork frippery, and of course, no sandals; while the tiny carwarwit wears white socks, and sometimes, in cold weather, a sort of trousers of the same material as the frock. This style of dress makes him look very much like the son of an Indian maharajah, except that in his case, as in that of his sisters, no jewelry of any sort is permitted. Henry Watterson Writing Book. Reports are contradictory as to the exact character of the literary work Henry Watterson is engaged on in Europe. While it is known that he went to the old world this year avowedly for the purpose of devoting himself to the completion of an important piece of work to be published in book form, it is not known whether it is something new or the life of Abraham Lincoln he began several years ago. It is understood to be the Kentuckyian's wish to make his life of Lincoln the most thorough, apprehensive and authentic that has ever been written. AUTO CARAVAN TO TOUR EUROPE THE MOUNTAIN ROAD IN GERMANY NEAR DETRODEN DOTTED LINE SHOWS COURSE, WHICH THE PROPOSED AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE TOUR WOULD MAKE American automobilists who have toured Europe in their cars have discovered that what has been said regarding the excellence of the roads in that part of the world is true, and this is the reason that the foreign tour is more popular to the auto enthusiast than the touring of America, and thus has undoubtedly led to the planning for a gigantic tour this coming summer. The itinerary as planned by the American Automobile association will cover a circuit of 4,000 miles, going through seven countries — France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Germany, Belgium, and England—and allowing for visits to scores of quaint, historic towns as well as to the cities of Paris, Bordeaux, Barcelona, Marseilles, Florence, Genoa, Rome, Naples, Venice, Dresden, Berlin, Cologne, Brussels, London, and Liverpool. The tour itself will occupy from 60 to 65 days but the daily runs have been carefully arranged, so that on not more than 15 days will 100 miles or over of traveling be required. When it is considered that in the open stretches of France and some of the other countries a speed of from 25 to 30 miles an hour is permissible, it is easy to see that with the excellent roads of Europe this will be no severe tax either for the cars or the occupants, and plenty of time will be left over for sightseeing. In addition to these two months on Jand, two weeks or a little over will be spent in ocean travel, so that the tourists who leave New York about June 20 on a French line steamer will return about Sept. 10 on a White Star steamer from Liverpool. George Dupuy, the originator of the scheme and its general manager, believes that 30 and probably 49 cars will be included in this remarkable American automobile caravan. A few of the cars will be runabouts, but the majority will be big touring cars carrying five persons. Averaging four persons to a car, with a possibility of 35 machines, will give a total of 140 tourists, representing an outlay of $140,000 for the round trip. With the possibility of so large a sum of money coming in, the committee is enabled to make hotel and transportation rates on the most reasonable terms, while no expense is incurred in furnishing cars. Pleasure, however, is not the only object of the tour. It is to be, in addition to the pleasure jaunt, an endurance test for a $3,000 gold cup. William K Vanderbilt, Jr., Jefferson De Mont Thompson, chairman of the racing board of the American Automobile association, and other prominent autoists have subscribed for the trophy, and it will be awarded to the owner of the car making the best showing under the rules that have been formulated. In anticipation of the possibility that some owners of cars may not care to try for the trophy, and so be subject to the rules, the committee has decided to divide the motor cars into two sections, and each will be adorned with its distinctive emblem. In keeping with the principles of the tour, an American eagle will be emblazoned on or affixed to every car. The gold cup competing cars will carry red eagles, while the noncompetitors will carry blue eagles. For individuals who wish to go on the tour the committee will arrange seats in the cars that have not been filled by the original entrants, as it is stipulated that each car must carry its full complement of passengers. The tour will prove in a more comprehensive and public manner than has ever before been attempted the ability of the American car to cope successfully with the popular foreign car under all conditions and in the home land of the foreign made machine. It is amusing to view the varying shades of opinion that are being expressed in foreign circles, now that this so-called American invasion of the old country is an assured success. Some of the French trade centers process to regard it as actually dangerous to their industry. Already is the idea advanced that the importation to this country of foreign machings may be curtailed, while others fear that the demonstrated ability of American cars may lead foreign dealers to seek agenies for American machines, both mussels, elements of trot and, indeed, DOTTED LINE SHOWS COURSE WHICH THE PROPOSED AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE TOUR WOULD MAKE within the past month requests have been made by several large French concerns for American car agencies. From one center in Paris the propes- tion has actually been made that the tour ought to be prohibited. "Let the American cars enter our races and competitive tests, if they wish to show what they are capable of," says one of the French motor jour- nals, "or if the tour must go on, let French cars enter on an equality with the American vehicles." Others, however, realizing that the tour is a settled fact, adopt a more lenient policy, and are offering the glad hand. Says Charles Faroux, one of the leading automobilists in France: "The organizers of the tour have wished to prove to the Yankees that a tour of Europe is not especially reserved to a few wealthy persons, but that a party of five can travel through our wonderful countries in automobiles cheaper than by rail and in the hands of an agent who will provide far more comforts than is usually possible from most of the foreign agencies. This is not an American invasion, for transatlantic manufacturers know full well that the hour of Yankee commercial superiority will certainly not be in 1907. It is a project of the highest interest, which cannot fail to impress the prosperity of our tourist regions. That is why we will accord all our assistance to the American motorists and assure them of a welcome as worthy of them as of ourselves." No penalties will be exacted for change of tires or minor repairs to the engine on the road. According to the speed laws, the state of the roads, and the configuration of the country traversed, a reasonable average speed, suiting all classes of cars, will be indicated for each day's run, thus allowing the caravan to travel at a uniform pace. Baldness and Genius "Baldness denotes intelligence," said the barber, "but on the other hand it denotes a lack of genius too. Your genius has always good hair. "William Dean Howells, Paderowski, Booth Tarkington, W. W. Jacobs, John S. Sargent, Algernon C. Swinburne, George Meredith, H. G. Wells, Joseph Conrad—I could go on indefinitely—all these living men of genius have leonine locks. Among the dead I might mention for their fine hair lbsen, Robert Louis Stevenson, Tennyson, Longfellow, living and so on. "The baldhead, as a rule, is intelligent, but the genius has thick hair and a very weak beard." Said Dickens Exaggerated. Dr. John Bourne, who recently died, at Weardale, England, at the age of 85, was educated at the grammar school at Wolsingham and was intimately acquainted with the family of the supposed prototype of Wackford Squeers of Dotheboys hall, immortalized in "Nicholas Nickleby." In his opinion Dickens' story, so far as Dotheboys hall was concerned, was exaggerated and he would not admit that exceptional punishment was ever mooted out to the pupils of that academy. Another Foreign Complication. "I suppose you know Regide has always wanted one of these tall Mexican sombreros." FIGURES OF A CROP IN WESTERN CANADA. How a Swan River Settler Has Succeeded. Benito, Manitoba, Nov. 26, 1906. At Swan River Valley, in May, 1900, a settler took up a homestead on Section 30, in Township 34, Range 29 West of the First Meridan, at that time 50 miles from a railway, telegraph, school or church. There is now a railway within two miles of my farm, and all these other advantages close at hand. His story is: "After making my homestead entry fee of $10 I had $45.00 total (forty-five dollars) capital. Through doing homestead duties in slack times of the year, I managed to get a start.

WOMAN'S REALM MAKING OVER LACE MAKING OVER LACE EMBELLIISHMENT A COMPARA TIVELY EASY MATTER. Expenditures of Time and Trouble Well Worth Making—Case in Point Is Described by a Writer. Many of the quite cheap laces can be marvelously transformed and beautified by a little expenditure of time and trouble, the material for embellishment being comparatively trifling. I noticed this especially lately on the blue silk muslin of a young cousin, says a writer, whose pretty dress was greatly improved by inexpensive lace on which was a blue outline. This latter she had done herself in twisted embroidery cotton of a silky make, and the effect was admirable. ```markdown ``` Ordinary "piece lace," treated as you see in the illustration can serve either for entire blouses, or for cuffs, yokes, or chemisettes over white or colored foundations. For sachets and cushion covers it is very pretty. Her pink stout embroidery cortex is sewn down with fine silk and a few blue loopstitches in the spaces of the leaves are done with flax. Never pass your thread under the lace part unless that part is worked. No threads should be made under the unworked part. BOOT PINCUSHION IS PRETTY. Directions for Making Useful and Ornamental Article. Take six pieces of silk a little over four and one-half inches square and fold them diagonally, like this: Stitch close the side A B and also from B to C. Leave space from C to D open in order to turn and stuff the boot. A represents the toe and is filled with sand, as that fills in nicely; then stuff with bran, pressed in hard, until you reach the opening. Fill that with wadding, as the bran will run out while you are overbanding that space. Use three colors of silk, two C D B pieces of each color, and place them alternately, with the sides, where the openings come together, and the toes pointing out. It is easy enough to sew the tops together, but you are obliged to take long stitches and a coarse thread at the bottom, and make a small circle of cardboard, covered, of course, to sew over the stitches, and hold the boots in position. Put large pins up and down the front for buttons and use tinsel cord to wind the pipe to represent the laceings. Put a fancy bow on top, and you have a novel and unique cushion, the appearance of which this description gives little idea. Dancing Freck in New Design. Dancing Freck in New Design. A charming design is seen in a dancing freck for a belle of several season's standing. The foundation is of the new opal satin—a shaded, or rather shoe weave, in which the warp is white and the woof dyed in pale blue, pink and yellow, so that all the glancing lights of the opal are seen in the satin—and over this there is a mousseline robe covered with opalescent fringes. For the decollete bodice the fringes are some six or eight inches long, while for the skirt they are in four rows twice that depth. A deep girdle, well boned and with long sash ends, is of the opal satin, and instead of sleeves there are festooned strands of the beads that lie on the forearm well down toward the cibow. New Ideas That Have Sense of Individuality. Perhaps this is a bit out of the regular order of things, but these ideas seemed to me so good and practical that I thought the department readers should hear of them. The young daughter of the house had brought home from time to time specimens of her water-color work at school which were all done on the same sized paper and all were flower subjects. They were so good that with a mother's inspiration she decided to make them into a freeze for the child's room. Accordingly, they were put, separated by inexpensive molding into panels; the side walls were a plain gray cartridge paper, so the effect was decidedly harmonious and pleasing. Then to shut out the view of a too observing neighbor the window sill was covered by a board that just fitted, then this board was coated with a good thickness of cement, which was obtained from some obliging workmen who were laying a walk in the vicinity. In this cement a row of decorative cheap English ware plates were imbedded and on these plates potted plants stood, making a most beautiful and effective screen. In front of the lavatory in this same room there was a three-quarters screen made from strips of unbleached muslin, on which blue prints were pasted illustrating trips taken, and the many scenes in which the family had participated. Possibly some people do not know that friezes suitable for nurseries, dens and libraries may be obtained separate from the side wall papers, and anyone with a sense of the artistry may arrange and transform a plain, characterless room into one of distinct originality. Special Dinner Menu. A correspondent writes for some help regarding a dinner to be served at seven o'clock where there are to be no wines. For the first course have oysters on the half shell or an oyster cocktail made by placing five raw oysters in a cocktail glass with the regularly prepared sauce which may be purchased and is very satisfactory. Then clear soup with bread sticks, followed by a bit of brieed fish or boiled with egg sauce and tiny bails, the fish garnished with sliced cumber and lemon rings. For the heavy course you may have turkey, roast beef, with Yorkshire pudding, lamb with mint sauce or a fillet of beef with mushroom sauce; mashed potatoes, nice coquettes. If the turkey is served have boiled onions and cranberry jelly; if the lamb, green peas, brown and white bread, olives, salted nuts and celery. For such a dinner I should serve a pineapple, pear or orange salad, with a whipped cream dressing; pass cheese wafers and barley duc. Then for dessert either ice cream, individual charlotte russe or a prettily moulded gelatine. Coffee, water biscuit, and Requefort cheese. If you have a precoater, or, as they are sometimes called, a "coffee machine," you can make the coffee at the table, or it may be served in the drawing room to the ladies while the men smoke in the dining room. Church Entertainment. While the "Country Fair" may be old to some of our readers, there is really a great deal of novelty about it when used as a church or charitable entertainment. Advertise the affair by regular old-fashioned cheap paper handbills, with glaring headlines, offering premiums and attractions. Have booths for home-made jellies, fancy cakes, candy, hand-work, and stands for popcorn, lemonade, peanuts and all sorts of street fakirs, including a tintype gallery, with a good "barker" to attract the crowd inside. There should be a tea room, ice cream parlor and a shooting gallery; in fact, a thousand and one things will suggest themselves when the committees set to work. Sunshine Clubs. In reply to A. B. C., Madame Merri regrets that she is not in more in touch with the "Sunshine" work so she could give more explicit directions for your club "Sunshine day." If there are special invitations, use the beautiful quotation which I believe has been adopted as the motto of the Sunshine circles: Have you had a kindness shown? Pass it on. "Twinkle twinkle" out for you alone. Pass it on. Let it echo down the Use yellow cheese cloth draperies with yellow marigolda, tulips, or jonquils are now seasonable. Serve orange ice or a rich golden custard with orange cake or, of course "Sunshine" cake for this occasion. Then have five-minute talks on how best to bring sunshine into darkened lives. It is often not money, but the helpful cheering word, spoken at the right time that is needed. Oh, how often those who walk beside us in our daily lives are the very ones who need a ray of sunshine. I think one of the most helpful of circles would be one to watch out for those nearest us in the home, the office and on the street. CURED OF GRAVEL. Not a Single Stone Has Formed Since Using Dean's Kidney Pills. J. D. Daughtrey, music publisher, of Suffolk, Va., says: "During two or three years that I had kidney trouble I passed 2½ pounds of gravel and sandy sediment in the urine. I haven't passed a stone since using Doan's Kidney Pills, however, and that was three years ago. I used to suffer the most acute agony during a gravel attack. three years that I had kidney trouble I passed 2½ pounds of gravel and sandy sediment in the urine. I haven't passed a stone since using Doan's Kidney Pills, however, and that was three years ago. I used to suffer the most acute agony during a gravel attack, and had the other usual symptoms of kidney trouble—lassitude, headache, pain in the back, urinary disorders, rheumatic pain, etc. I have a box containing 14 gravel stones that I passed, but that is not one-quarter of the whole number. I consider Doan's Kidney Pills a fine kidney tonic." For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N.Y. New York's Rapid Growth. The rapid growth of the nation's great metropolis is a source of national interest and pride. Statisticians figure that the population of the city will exceed that of London by the year 1915, and will double in 25 years. The present generation will undoubtedly see in New York the world's greatest metropolis. Few persons realize that the population of New York city is already one in 20 of the population of the entire United States, or that the growth of New York city in the century past has been five times more rapid than the growth of the whole country.—Moody's Magazine. BLOOD GETS SOUR. Every Family Should Make Up This Home Mixture and Take Now. At this time of year, says a well-known authority, the Kidneys become weak, clogged and inactive, falling to filter out the poisons and acids, which sour the blood, causing not only facial and bodily eruptions, but the worst forms of Rheumatism, Nervous and Stomach troubles, Backache and painful, annoying Urinary afflictions. It is worth anyone's time now to get from some good prescription pharmacy the following ingredients: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle and take in teapoonful doses after your meals and at bedtime. This simple home-made mixture will force the Kidneys to normal, healthy action, so they will filter and strain all uric acid and poisonous waste matter from the blood, and expel this in the urine, at the same time restoring the "full blood count"—that is, 95 per cent red blood corpuscles—which is absolutely indispensable to perfect health. Indians in United States In round figures, there are 284,000 Indians in the United States at the present time, 91,000 of whom are in Indian territory and 15,000 in Oklahoma, or 106,000 in the coming state. Those of Indian territory, the five civilized tribes—Cherokees, Creeks, Chocaws, Chickasaws and Seminoles—have been managing their own affairs for two-thirds of a century, and are in all respects fitted for the citizenship which they are soon to exercise. All of these, and nearly all of those in the Oklahoma end of the coming state, wear civilized dress, and have schools, churches and the other ac companiments of civilization.—Leslie's FURIOUS HUMOR ON CHILD. Itching, Bleeding Sores Covered Body —Nothing Helped Her—Cuticura Cures Her in Five Days. "After my granddaughter of about seven years had been cured of the measles, she was attacked about a fortnight later by a furious itching and painful eruption all over her body, especially the upper part of it, forming watery and bleeding sores, especially under the arms, of considerable size. She suffered a great deal and for three weeks we nursed her every night, using all the remedies we could think of. Nothing would help. We tried the Cuticura Remedies and after twenty-four hours we noted considerable improvement, and after using only one complete set of the Cuticura Remedies, in five consecutive days the little one, much to our joy, had been entirely cured, and has been well for a long time.

The hall was filled to its utmost capacity and many persons were forced to go away without gaining admittance. It is estimated that 400 persons were in attendance.

Miner and with their vandur stunts for 15 minutes kept the crowd in a rour of glee, they then disappeared amid a tremendous wave of applause. The Zonon patrol is a novelty in Kansas City, having been produced for the first time Tuesday night. Immediately after the drill the Grand march took place, headed by the officer of Allah Temple in their oriental costumes.
