VOLUME XI. Golf and Fish Story. Some time ago a northern golfer drove a ball a fine, low, skimming shot across a river. Just as the ball was nearly over a salmon leaped at the ball and caught it in its mouth. Such was the pace of the ball that it carried the salmon on to the river's bank, where it was immediately secured, with the ball tightly wedged in its teeth.—Golf Illustrated. Environment. The secret is to be found not in the criminal type of man, nor yet altogether in heredity, but in environment. The place to make the environment, which is to protect the young man from many temptations and help him to resist those that he may not escape, is in the home.—Rev W. H. Locke, Methodist, Mansfield, O. Indifferentism. What is most striking in the present aspect of the controversy over human immortality is the average man's absolute want of interest in the question. People shrug their shoulders and turn to their newspaper or their business at the mention or thought of an after-life.—Dr. McComb in the Quarterly Review. Japanese Small Trees. Our indebtedness to Japan is augmented by the remarkable chestnut that halts from there. It is more dwarf than our native species, and bears abundantly when only a few years old. Aside from its usefulness as a nut tree, it is quite ornamental, and should be more generally planted. —Home Magazine. Out for the News. "I'm going down to get my half washed to-morrow," said the demure looking woman on the car. "It doesn't really need it, but honestly, I haven't heard any news for a week. I just made up my mind to-day that I'd go down and hear what's going on among people."—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Too Busy to Love In England people are too busy to love. A man jaded to death by 40 letters and 15 telegrams a day cannot in the evening indulge in the excitement of either a heart-shaking tragedy or the passion of an all-absorbing love. So he flirts.—Dr. Reich, in London Tattler. Was the Best Man. In Eldorado a bridegroom gave his best man an envelope containing a twenty-dollar bill to be given to the clergyman after the ceremony. The best man is found to have given the preacher an envelope containing a one-dollar bill—Kansas City Star. Paragon-Making Golf. Golf cannot be played really well unless the temper is schooled to such a degree that misfortune, accident and a general run of defective play never lead to passion overflowing the limits of decorous and retained equanimity.—Field. Burning His Savings The Bookkeeper—The boss seems pleased with himself this morning. The Office Boy—He's been saving all his burnt matches for a year, and this morning he had enough for me to start the fire with—Utica Observer. Discolored Brass. Where brasses are much discolored an application of a solution of salt and vinegar is advisable before using the customary brass polish, as the work of polishing is much more quickly performed. One Legged Racers A comical foot race was recently witnessed in Paris. Nineteen men, each with a wooden leg, were the contestants. The winner ran a mile in 12 minutes. Quite So. Sweet nothings, in the hands of a competent lawyer, may be transformed into very bitter and substantial somethings.—Louisville Courier Journal. Shakespeare Insipid: Pepy's Diary, 1659-1669, commenting on Shakespeare's plays, says of "Midsummer Night's Dream:" "It is the most insipid, ridiculous play I ever saw in my life;" and upon reading "Othello, the Moor of Venice," which I have hitherto esteemed a mighty good play; but having lately read the 'Adventures of Five Hours,' it seems a mean thing." The Hot Water Cure The virtues of the hot water application are recognized to such an extent that hot-water bags are made in a great variety of shapes and sizes. The latest designs are made to fit around the joints such as the knee, ankle and elbow. They are very effective in the treatment of myalgia, arthritis, rheumatism and similar afections. Palace to House Club The Tudor palace at Enfield, England, which was a gift from Edward VI. to Princess, afterward Queen Elizabeth, is to become a Conservative club. Until recently it was used as a post office. The Tudor rose, the royal monogram—and the ancient coat-of-arms are still conspicuous in the mural decorations. A Terrible Remedy I can only think of one method by which nurses can guard against imitations of their professional costume. It is that they should adopt one that is ugly or at least dowdy—and that remedy would, I expect, be regarded by most of the nurses as worse than the evil it was designed to cure.—Truth. "Idiot." The alteration in the meaning of the word "idiot" is peculiar. Originally this word meant only a man in private life as distinguished from one who was concerned in public affairs. In time the word degenerated, until it came to mean one who was defective in mental powers.—Sunday Magazine. Believe in Wandering Jew. The belief in the Wandering Jew is still held in France among the peasantry of Brittany and Picardy. When a violent windstorm comes on they make the sign of the cross as they say "The Wandering Jew is passing by!" ("C'est le juif errant qui passe!") Rewards of Virtue. Every virtue gives its equal degree of felicity in some kind; honesty gives a good report; justice, estimation; prudence, respect; courtesy and liberality, affection; temperance gives health; fortitude a quiet mind, not to be moved by any adversity—Walalingham. Potato Drove Bull Mad. A potato lodged in the throat of a bull at Datchworth, near Hitchin, England, recently, and drove it mad. Four men who tried to secure it were tossed. One of them had two ribs broken, and the head of another was badly injured. Jerusalem's Via Dolorosa It is only 400 years since the name of Via Doloresa was given to the narrow lane down which Christ passed from the judgment hall of Pilate to Calvary. At this time also the sacred stations first were marked out for pilgrims. Marital Fallings-Out. The wife who praises all her clever husband does, soon becomes his worst enemy. The husband who loses that amount of appreciation of his wife's ability that touches high-water mark, loses all discrimination, says the Pilgrim. Continual harmony makes life monotonous. The woman who always reiterates, "I don't know, dear," and the man who constantly answers, "Just as you say, darling," are the most maddening of mortals. Aspiration and Possession Aspiration sees only one side of every question; possession many.— Lowell KANSAS CITY, MO., SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1907. Visions of Life. Sweet is the hour of rest Pleasant the woods' low sigh When peace dwells in my breast Then sleep comes to my eyes. My dreams are of scenes above Of angels robed in white, Of Jesus and his love; Then my heart is tilled with delight. But when I awake from my sleep. When sorrow comes to me again. Then! Oh my thoughts run deep, If I could but cease from sin. But here we must win the race; And there we shall get our pay On that Celestial morn The great Judgment day. L. A. ALLEN. Ringling Bros'. Show Will Be Here July 22, 1907. Ringling Bros'. Circus is one of the greatest shows that ever appeared in Kansas City, and will appear here July 22. They have brought many new features with them and are establishing new records along the show line. It will be largely attended as this is about the first show that has been in Kansas City this year. Some shows only carry the same thing from year to year, but from the advance bills this show has changed its program. It will appear at the old show grounds. The great Beauty Contest starts in next week's paper. All women are invited to take part. This will be a new feature in the newspaper, as it will be different from any run by any colored paper. There will be two entries, married women and single women's contest, as there are many beautiful colored women of all varities. This will be a good way to show up all the pretty women in the city. Please begin to send in the names this week for those who will enter the contest. Every woman is cordially invited to take part, the coupon slips will appear in next week's paper. Everybody should send in the name of some pretty ywoman. Watch the next issue of the paper for full details.

REV. J. M. BOOKER'S Successful Administration AS PASTOR OF THE PLEASANT GREEN BAPSTH CHURCH, WILL DEDICATE NEW FOUNDATION IN A FEW WEEKS, AND LATER TO COMPLETE NEW CHURCH WORTH $25,000. A. B. REV. J. M. BOOKER The Pleasant Green Baptist Church of this city is an organization about 30 years old. The first pastor of this church was Rev. John Morgan of Kentucy. He was an able defender of the Gospel and of strong moral character. He succeeded in buying the property in rear of Independence and Tracy avenues, and building the frame house where the Church is at present. After Rev. Morgan's death the next preacher who became the pastor of the Church was Rev. Afterd, of Kansas. After a stay of about two years Rev. Alford was succeeded by Rev. E. M. Wilson, of Kentucky, who was the most intellectual pastor the church has ever had. He was an able defender of the church and a pulpit orator. These two preachers, Rev. Alford and Rev. Wilson, were both overcome by the same weakness. Rev. G. W. Burdett was the next pastor who resigned of his own accord. Next to come to take the leadership of the church is the Rev. J. M. Booker, of Memphis, Teun, who was the pastor of Salem Baptist church, the second largest Baptist church in Memphis. He desired to change his field of labor, so he resigned to come to Kansas City. Rev. Booker was born in Virginia in 1863, and in 1869 his father took him to Mississippi, where he received a common school education. On becoming a young man 23 years old he was converted in June, 1886, at Memphis. Two years later he was licensed to preach, and on Sept. 13th, 1891, he was or dained, after which he pastored successfully for 5 years the Salem Baptist Church in Memphis. Rev. Booker attended the Theological department of Howe Institute for about 9 years. He built the Mount Zion Baptist Church during his time in Memphis. As a financier and church builder his ability can not be doubted. When he came to take charge of the Pleasant Green Church one year ago, it was in a critical condition. During this one year he has raised nearly $3,000 and paid all indebtedness of the church, and built the foundation for the new church on the east side of Tracy avenue, near Independence avenue. The Pleasant Green Church is in splendid condition now. It owns two good pieces of property, and values all of its holdings at $19,000. Rev. Booker will build a handsome Auditorium on the new foundation in the next five years, worth from $10,000 to $15,000, thus making the new church worth about $25,000. The people of this city who admire a clean, Christian gentleman, a man of principle and integrity, should give Rev. Booker their support and help him to do a great work for God and humanity. He is one man who will not condole immoral crime, or shield dirty men who are preaching the gospel. He is deserving of the aid and confidence of the people. Dear Editor:—Sir, will you kindly allow me sufficient space in your hon orable paper to insert the following: THE ONLY REMEDY FOR JIM Having noticed in the K. C. Times of June 11 inst. of the address of Rev. Bishop Grant along the lines of the St. Louis Jim Crow car laws, I would to God and also pray that Bishop Grant and all others concerned continually beg and urge and try to persuade the members of their various congregations to use the following words in their prayers that God may remember the oppressed and the law-makers of oppressions upon the strangers that dwelleth among them and that God may drive these laws from our land and country. Please note the following scriptures on the same: God said one law shall be to him that is home-born and unto the stranger that sojournmeta among you—Exodus 12-49. Teu shalt neither vex a stranger no oppress him, for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. Ye shall not afflict any widow or fatherless child if thou afflict them in any wise and they cry at all unto me I will surely hear their cry and my wrath shall wax hot and I will kill you with the sword and your wives shall be widows and your children fatherless. Now what more is needed than cry me unto him—Exodus 22: 21 to 24 INDEFENDENCE. MO.. NOTES. The True Reformers had quite an able sermon delivered to them Sunday by Rev. Lee of Kansas City, Mo.

DRUGGIST WINS THE RIG. Winners of Prizes at St. Joseph Home Picnic. Announced. The Orpans' Aid Society with about 250 guests, met at the St. Joseph Orphans' home, Thirtyfirst and Penn streets, yesterday afternoon and listened to an interesting entertainment given by the children. It was also the occasion for awarding the prizes drawn at the picnic given for the benefit of the orphans July 4. The first prize, a horse and buggy was won by Theodore Smith, a drugist, 1397 East Eighteenth street Ticket: 95a was the lucky number The second prize, a silver tea set of 26 pieces was won by Miss Lena Cody 713 North Sixth St., Kansas City Kan. The number was 50f. Many minor prizes were awarded to the lucky winners by the committee. Neither Mr. Smith nor Miss Cody were present, but were notified by telephone. A great many who had taken an active part in getting up the details of the picnic were present yesterday and they were thanked by the sisters for their efforts. Miss Eva Washington, of 938 New Jersey avenue, Kansas City, Kansas, was very seriously and dangerously wounded in an accident, which happened in Mitchell's Dry Goods Store, 100911 Mai nstreet last Tu sday week July 2. She boarded the elevator at the fifth floor to go down to the fourth and as the boy opened the door she started out when a large flat heavy iron fell from the top of the elevator door, striking her violently on the back of the head. She remained in the store a while thinking she would get better but grew worse all the while and had to be taken home in a carriage at her own expense. She also fainted on the way and was unconscious q uite a while. She is now under the care of Dr. H. S. Thompson, of Kansas City, Kansas. Sho is a customer and patron of that house. It would have been a small thing for Mitchell Dry Goods Co. to have sent Miss Washington home in a carriage, with medical attention but they paid her no attention whatever after such an accident in the house. Her case will be looked after by legal authorities. 409 East Phelps Ave. Springfield, Mo., June 28, 1907. Editor Rising Son and Mgr. Kansas City, Mo. Dear Sirs—Your subscription notice is before me, and it will be forthcoming just as soon as I can get to it. Allow me to add, in connection with the above, the following thoughts that have impressed me very much in the last 4 or 5 weeks. Having served as pastor in Kansas City, Mo., for 5 years of Asbury M. E. church, now known (though consolidated with Burn's M. E. church) as Centennial M. E. church, and know most of the leading men etc., I am therefore interested in the doings of K. C. We have read and considered carefully the late controversy through the columns of your worthy paper "The Rising Son." In this particular case, (the Rev. Mr. Hurse, Mr. N. C. Crews, et al.) I only know about relative to both sides; through what we have read in your paper. But as one intensely concerned about every one having a "square deal," and every man having a man's chance, I say to you and all others thus concerned, to stand by the truth, though the stars sever themselves from their sockets and fall. Since it is an assured fact, though truth may be bruised and mangled it cannot be destroyed, as truth rests infallibly upon this maxim, "God is Truth."

THE CHRISTIAN WORLD How the Gospel Is Carried to Rural Districts in England. For some years England has seen a strange "fleet" of "churches on currents on wheels," or gospel wagons, 70 or 80 in number. They go out into the highways and byways of the country, reaching populations which otherwise would be neglected spiritually, having wheels, or gospel wagons, 70 or 80 in number. They go out into the highways and byways of the country, reaching populations which otherwise would be neglected spiritually, having neither church, chapel nor Sunday school. The fleet is manned by 180 hard-working evangelists, some of them excellent instrumentalists; men of tact in dealing with all sorts and conditions of people, says The World Today. Each wagon carries a collecting box in the form of a tiny facsimile of itself. A generous supply of religious and healthy secular literature is taken on board, and last year the rolling churches sold more than $25,000 worth of it. Each of these remarkable gospel wagons costs $105, and the first of them appeared nearly ten years ago among the fruit and hop pickers of southern England. In summer time they are not backward in appearing on crowded seaside beaches, and even on tree courses, where they attract much attention among a class of people who certainly never enter an ordinary church or chapel. TRAILED BY INDIANS. The Story of One of Bishop Hare's Silver Crosses. Bishop Hare, of the diocese of South Dakota, was sent west many years ago as a missionary bishop of the Episcopal church. He founded the mission at the Rosebud Indian agency, and it was his custom, says Youth's Companion, to give to each Indian that he confirmed a silver cross of a peculiar pattern. A few years ago a lady from New York was visiting in South Dakota, and the bishop gave her one of these crosses. Some years after that there was a general convention of the Episcopal church held in New York city, and several Indians were sent as delegates, all wearing Bishop Hare's crosses. Arriving in New York, they were lazed, and at a loss to know how to find the building where the convention was to be held. But stolically they started out upon the street. Soon after they met a lady, whom they immediately began to follow. Whenever she turned, wherever she went, they went, too. The lady became much annoyed and finally thoroughly frightened to find that wherever she went a line of red men was trailing behind her. But investigation explained it. She wore their cross, and they, seeing it, had believed her one of their number who would surely go to the meeting they wished to attend; so they had taken her for their guide. In Japan and China. Missionary work is often like a heavy freight train. It starts hard and for a time moves slowly, but when once under headway is hard to stop. Both China and Japan are now beginning to show the results of the Christian work which has been done there, says Youth's Companion. It is 100 years since Robert Morrison, a young Scotchman, landed in Canton. He was the first Protestant missionary to China, and his work has so grown that it is proposed to mark the centenary year by the erection of a $100,000 Young Men's Christian association building in Peking. The public lectures given by the Christian churches are attended by the families of the highest officials, and "the sisters of princes, the wives and daughters of dukes" have established ten schools for girls in Peking. From Japan comes word that the Japanese Missionary society now feels itself strong enough to take upon itself the support of 30 native churches which have bitherto been aided by the American board. What It Costs. What is the cost of sending this $5,807,165 to the mission fields? The cost of collection and administration of foreign mission funds last year was as follows: United Presbyterian, 4.13 per cent; M. E. (north), 5.25 per cent; M. E. (south), 5.7-10 per cent; Baptist (north), 11.12 per cent; Baptist (south), 6.1-10 per cent; Presbyterian (north), 6.2-10 per cent; Presbyterian (south), 7.1-10 per cent; Reformed church, 8.7-10 per cent; American Board, 10.25 per cent; Protestant Episcopal, 11.1-10 per cent. Headquarters Moved to Chicago. The international Sunday School association has established headquarters on the eighth floor of the Hartford building, Chicago, Ill., and Mr. Marion Lawrence, the general secretary, has moved from his home in Toledo, O. to that city. Heretofore the main of fice has been in Boston, Mass. The head of the new department of Bible class promotion is Mr. W. C. Pearce who has been national superintendent of the teacher training work. SAVED FROM DREAD FATE. Kind Woman's Assistance Meant Much to This Tramp. A certain lady, noted for her kind heart and open hand, was approached not long ago by a man who, with tragic air, began: "A man, madam, is often forced by the whip of hunger to many things from which his very soul shrinks—and so it is with me at this time. Unless, madam, in the name of pity, you give me assistance, I will be compelled to do something which I never before have done, which I would greatly dislike to do." Much impressed, the lady made haste to place in his hand a five-dollar bill. As the man pocketed it with profuse thanks, she inquired: "And what is the dreadful thing I have kept you from doing, my poor man?" "Work," was the brief and mournful reply.—Harper's Weekly. WESTERN MEN IN NEW YORK. Brains of Mountain and Prairie in Demand in the Financial Center. Ever since the early days, when D. O. Mills, J. B. Haggin and James R. Keene "emigrated" from California to New York, the metropolis has been drawing largely on the west and south for its supply of "men who do things". Theodore P. Shonba, both a southerner and westerner, who has undertaken to solve New York's great transit problem, is the latest importation in response to the call of the east. The promptness with which Thos. F. Ryan, of Virginia, turned the Equitable Life Assurance Society over to its policyholders, who now elect a majority of its Board of Directors, and divested himself of the control of the stock which he bought from Jas H. Hyde, and the success of the new management of the Society under the direction of President Paul Morton, have created a demand for the strong men of the south and west that is greater than ever before. Under the Morton management the Equitable has made a better showing than any other insurance company in the way of improved methods, economies and increased returns to policyholders. E. H.

A man who runs a truck farm in Virginia tells of the sad predicament in which a colored man named Sam Moore, who is in his employ, recently found himself. Sam had had considerable difficulty in evading the onslaughts of a dog from a neighboring farm. Finally the dog got him, as Sam kicked at him. Sam's wife, hearing a tremendous yell, rushed to the rescue of her husband. When she came up the dog had fastened his teeth in the calf of Sam's leg and was holding on for dear life. Seizing a stone in the road, Sam's wife was about to hurl it when Sam, with wonderful presence of mind, shouted: "Mandy! Mandy! Don't frow dat stone at de dawg! Frow it at me, Mundy!"—Youth's Companion. His Name for It. I was once teaching a class of small pupils in physiology in a rural school and asked the class what name was given to the bones of the head as a whole. A little girl raised her hand. "What is it, Lucy?" I asked. "Skull!" she answered. "Correct," said I; "but what other name has it?" expecting some one to answer "cranium." All were silent for a while, then a little fellow who seemed to be in a deep study quickly raised his hand, his eyes sparkling and a confident smile spreading on his face. "What is it, Henry?" I asked. "Noggin," was his immediate reply. —Judge's Library. A SMALL SECRET. Couldn't Understand the Taste of His Customers. Two men were discussing the various food products now being supplied in such variety and abundance. One, a grocery, said, "I frequently try a package or so of any certain article before offering it to my trade, and in that way sometimes form a different idea than my customers have. "For instance, I thought I would try some Postum Food Coffee, to see what reason there was for such a call for it. At breakfast I didn't like it and supper proved the same, so I naturally concluded that my taste was different from that of the customers who bought it right along. "A day or two after, I waited on a lady who was buying a 25c package and told her I couldn't understand how one could fancy the taste of Postum. "I know just what is the matter,' she said, 'you put the coffee boiler on the stove for just fifteen minutes, and ten minutes of that time it simmered, and perhaps five minutes it boiled; now if you will have it left to boil full fifteen minutes after it commences to boil, you will find a delicious Java-like beverage, rich in food value of gluten and phosphates, so choice that you will never abandon it, particularly when you see the great gain in health." Well, I took another trial and sure enough I joined the Postum army for good, and life seems worth living since I have gotten rid of my old time stomach and kidney troubles." Postum is no sort of medicine, but pure liquid food, and this, together with a relief from coffee worked the change. "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Welville," in pkgs. The President's Vacation Roosevelt Always in Touch with Affairs of the Nation DEVOTES PART OF EVERY DAY TO PUBLIC AFFAIRS OYSTER BAY.—Although President Roosevelt is settled down at Oyster Bay for a four months' vacation he will not be able to escape from a good deal of the labors and duties of his job. The public business at Washington goes on just the same. There are officials to appoint, questions of policy to decide, commissions in the army and navy to sign, many other things that no one but the president can attend to, and which President Roosevelt would let no other man attend to even if he had the power. While he spends the summer in his modest and comfortable country house at Sagamore Hill he is obliged to devote a few hours a day—often more than a few—to the nation's business. When the president went down to Oyster Bay recently he was accompanied by Secretary Loeb, Assistant Secretary Latta, and four clerks from the executive staff at Washington. They began work next day in the executive offices in the village of Oyster Bay, three miles from the president's THE executive offices at "the summer capital," as Oyster Bay folk take pride in calling their village, never fail to impress visitors by their unpretentiousness. They consist of seven office rooms and a storeroom, into which a loft above a corner grocery has been divided. Mr. Moore, the enterprising purveyor of pure food to the villagers and surrounding gentry, is a famous man every summer. The whole country hears each summer in the press dispatches of "the executive offices over Moore's grocery." Mr. Moore's pride would be greater if the president should come down some day and transact some important piece of business there. Secretary Loeb has a large, sunny room in the front overlooking the bus LOEB DECIDES WHO CAN SEE CHIEF EXECUTIVE LARGE part of Mr. Loeb's business in summer is deciding "who's who" in the matter of requests for personal interviews with the president. Few persons are allowed to go up to Sagamore Hill and ring the door bell. Of course, cabinet officers, senators and a few representatives would be permitted. If they chose to arrive in Oyster Bay unannounced, to drive up to the presidential door and send their cards to Mr. Roosevelt. But these privileged men are the very ones who would never think of doing so. All visiting statesmen write or telegraph beforehand, asking whether it will be convenient for the president to see them on a given day. The query and the answer pass through Loeb's hands. He writes these gentlemen that "the SAGAMORE HILL NO ADMITTANCE THE cabinet is rarely called together in the president's vacation, and then only to consider matters regarded as of the highest importance. Nevertheless, in the course of a summer most of the members of the cabinet pay a visit, either of business or friendship to Sagamore Hill. They often dine and sleep there. Some of the president's closest friends in the senate, members of the "tennis" cabinet, or literary cronies, are overnight guests. But most of Mr. Roosevelt's visitors who call by appointment are asked to arrive in the forenoon and to stay for lunchon. It is the impression at Oyster Bay that there will be many such visits by the closest political friends of the administration from next week on. The master of Sagamore Hill is watching with the closest scrutiny the development of the campaign for the nomination of his successor, and it is likely that he will have frequent consultations with the leading statesmen who are devoted to him and his policies. Any incident tending to show a recurrence of the "reactionary conspiracy" would almost inevitably be followed by a procession of party chieftains eager to proffer advice and swear allegiance anew, both to Mr. Roosevelt and to the public through the press. There is no barrier up to prevent persons who can give a reasonable US house. These offices are connected by direct wire with the executive offices adjoining the White House at Washington. The clerks at the capital are therefore in as close touch with their immediate chief, Mr. Loeb, as if he were in his own office there. Mr. Loeb, in turn, is in constant touch with the president. The whole arrangement works out in the same manner as if the capital and all the departments had been moved from Washington to Oyster Bay. One difference is that the president never visits the executive offices in Oyster Bay. Whatever business requires to be brought to his attention is taken up by Secretary Loeb to Sagamore Hill. Mr. Loeb goes to the president in the forenoon about 11 o'clock, after he has gone through the mail and sorted out from it the letters and official papers which need to pass under the executive eye or hand. Some days Mr. Loeb gets back to the village in time to put in an hour's work before luncheon. More often his lunchon has to wait an hour for him. EXECUTIVE OFFICES THE PRIDE OF VILLAGERS iness center of the village. His door is always open; any one can walk in upon him, get a pleasant greeting and see as much of the government wheels going round as he could in Mr. Loeb's Washington office. All he will see is Mr. Loeb busy at a big flat-topped desk, with another desk close by covered with the newspapers which the secretary to the president reads diligently. He will see the rest of the staff in the five other rooms. One room is occupied by one of two telegraph operators who are on duty by turns from nine a. m. to 11 p. m. They are kept busy most of the time. Much of the matter is summaries of correspondence, to which Secretary Loeb directs routine formal answers to be returned. HES BUSY TO DAY LOEB TO RUN THE GOVERNMENT president will be glad to see them at such and such an hour on the day mentioned." The president has a telephone in his house, but if you, Mr. Citizen, had something in your mind that you thought the nation's chief ought to know about at once, you couldn't go into the nearest pay booth and call him up. The telephone exchange girls at Oyster Bay have a strict rule on that. All persons, from cabinet rank down who call for Mr. Roosevelt's number are switched over to Mr. Loeb. If it's all right, Mr. Loeb says so, and you "get" the president. If Mr. Loeb doesn't know you he asks you your business and probably advises you to put it into writing, for Mr. Loeb is a methodical and careful secretary. CABINET OFFICERS OFTEN VISIT SAGAMORE HILL account of themselves and betray no signs of the crank, from driving up to Sagamore Hill, on the understanding that they are not to halt their horses, but drive around the house and out again. If any person should gain entrance by giving this assurance to the secret service men at the outpost and then try to break faith and seek entrance to the house, he would be stopped by other secret service men on guard near the porch. These men, chosen for discretion as well as for valor, would politely inquire of the visitors whether they had an appointment with the president. If not they would be quietly advised to keep moving. The guards know who has and who has not the "open seame" to the summer White House. No one can bluff his way past them. Some have tried. The president's bodyguard is commanded by "Jim" Sloan, who has had the chief responsibility for his safety since Secret Service Agent Tyree was made a United States marshal. Sloan now has eight men to help him. Guards at the house and at the entrance from the highroad a quarter mile away are changed with the regularity of military discipline, night and day. The guards are all picked men, who have shown not merely zeal and devotion, which are essential, but horse-scuse, alertness and quick judgment. E EGAN AN ENERGETIC BOSS Worked with Men to Help Trains Through Snow Drifts. When Van Horne went to the Canadian Pacific he took with him John M. Egan. While he had been superintending the building of the Southern Minnesota, Egan was chief engineer, and the latter became superintendent of the division when Van Horne was advanced, and spent one or two winters trying to keep the road open. In those days the snow plow was simply a plow with a moldboard on each side. The worst blizzards Minnesota ever experienced happened about that time, and every railroad cut from the Blue Earth river of the Dakota border line, some hundred and fifty miles, was full of snow. Egan went out with the crews, and I have seen him with two engines, between which was a flat car heavily loaded with railroad iron, buckling the snow in the deep cuts. The two engines were backed away from the drift about half a mile, and then sent forward with all the speed The two e backed aw drift about and then with all The plow would throw out great mountains on each side, and the forward engine would be buried under huge piles of snow. From the cab of the engine Egan would emerge and give directions to the shovelers, and in emergencies he would seize a shovel and work like a laboring man himself. It was Egan who rigged sails on handcars and went out over the line when trains could not get through. The handcars were dragged across the cuts and then the sails were set for a long run on the clear portions of the track. After Egan went to the Canadian Pacific he was stationed at Winnipeg, and had much to do with the construction of the road westward. Then he went with Hill on the Manitoba system, and later was general manager of the organization of railroads centering in Chicago—A. W. Dunn, in The Sunday Magazine. Leave Railroad for Farm. So profitable has farming become in Pennsylvania that many employees of the railroads are deserting their present occupations to take up farm work. Many of the railroad men were brought up on farms, but deserted them for what was at the time more lucrative employment on the railroads. But the high prices obtained for all products of the farm has again caused a change, and some of these railroad men have found it a most profitable venture to buy up farms which have been indifferently cultivated for years. The Italians, who are largely employed as section hands on the railroads, are particularly anxious to begin careers as farmers. The fact that it is almost impossible to buy land in their own country makes them eager to become land owners in the country of their adoption, and it is predicted that their thriftiness will soon make them strong rivals of the hardy Pennsylvania Dutch farmers. The Italians are anxious to buy up the lands which Dutch farmers have partially abandoned as barren, and with their methods of intensive farming they bid fair to add largely to the number of acres now under cultivation in this country. Veteran Good for Many Years. In point of service William Henry Higgs is the oldest engineer on the Chicago division of the Big Four road, having begun work for the company in 1866. He is 71 years old, but still finds his chief pleasure in driving a giant locomotive, being regular engineer on one of the best trains of the entire system. During his long term of service he has never injured a fellow employee to sufficiently draw blood and has never hurt a passenger. Mr. Higgs does not look a day over 50, having an undimmed eye, a steady hand, a strong and hardy frame, a clear head and not a single gray hair. Women Doctors on Trains. The Great Western Railway company, of England, has just made an innovation in its express service, which is sure to meet with appreciation from the general public. On every train from London to Penzance, a distance of 300 miles, a woman doctor is to be in attendance. She will occupy a special compartment at one end of the train and is supposed to go to the assistance of sick passengers at a moment's notice. Other railway companies in England are considering the adoption of the same plan. Jackrabbit Easter than Train. Jackrabbit Passerail train A large, fleet-footed jackrabbit races with trains on the Central New England railway for miles down the mountain side between West Norfolk and East Cannan daily, furnishing fun and amusement for the engine drivers, firemen and trainmen. Jack jumps out of ambush when he hears a train approaching, and, hopping upon the track, jumps along the ties for a distance of three or four miles, easily beating the trains. Engineers Pinney, Mulligan and Blake have all tried to overtake Jack without success. Pa Elucidates. "Pa," said Little Bobby, "what kind of dogs live up on the dog star?"

GOLDEN TEXT.—"Thou shalt love thy GOLDEN TEXT.-"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self."-Lev. 19:18. Comment and Suggestive Thought. Comment and Suggestive Thought. The fifth commandment belongs to both tables of the law. Since God is our Father we are taught to honor him as a father. "If then, I be a father, where is mine honor? . . . saith the Lord of hosts unto you" (Mal. 1:6). To the young child the parents are in place of the heavenly Father, to lead the child up to him. The word pleas, whence our "plety" mant originally the duty of men to God reflected in their duty towards their parents. So in 1 Tim. 5:4, the Greek word for show plety at home, eusebeli, and its Latin equivalent, colere, honor, reverence, worship, is applied both to God and to parents. 2. "We are bidden to honor, because love is instinctive, and can only be spontaneous. The honor for our parents is love combined with reverence; the love must be honor touched with emotion. The word 'honor' includes 'love', for there can be no true honor without love."—Farar. 3. It applies to both parents. "Mother stands out as clear as Sinal itself. There is no cloud on her majesty. Such honor as goes to the father goes to the mother."—Caverno. 4. We honor by love, courteous attentions, by giving them the best, by always treating them with honor in the presence of others, by deferring to their wishes. 5. The fifth commandment "is the sanctification of social life" and "the surest basis of all rightcous government." In its widest sense it respects gray hairs everywhere, and honors all in authority over you, such as your pastor, teacher, employer or magistrates. Lack in this respect is a growing evil, full of mischief to our nation. 6. The fifth commandment does not require a child to do wrong at a parent's bidding, but it does require a child to love even unlovely parents, because they hold to him the sacred relation of father and mother. V. 13. "Thou shalt not kill." The R. V. gives the thought more accurately, "Thou shalt do no murder." Killing is sometimes justifiable; the bible itself enjoins the killing of men for punishment of those who murder, in order to prevent, by the punishment of the guilty, the murder of the innocent. V. 14. This is the safeguard of the home and the family. 1. Primarily, the seventh commandment forbids adultery, and the sins which, under slight differences, are cognate with it. 2. It forbids all impure thoughts, and the books and pictures and plays and acts which tend to excite such thoughts and inspire impure acts. Plato would exclude from his ideal republic everything that would debase the taste, even all poor pictures and poor workmanship. 3. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God," while the impure soon lose all sense of divine things. No sin, not even intemperance, so rapidly ruins a man, body, mind, and soul, as this sin. 4. The way to overcome this evil is by the good—true love and happy marriage, a mind full of good thoughts, a life full of good deeds. V. 15. Is the safeguard of personal and property rights, and the wall of defense against the temptations to selffashion and crime. The crime of theft is, of all others, the meanest and most despicable. It is selfishness incarnate. To gain by stealing is far worse for the thief than for the one wronged. A clear conscience is worth more than all the world. Plato illustrates the test of honesty by the story of Gyges' ring, which made the wearer invisible. He that is honest, even when he can be deshonest without being found out, is a truly honest man. V. 16. Forbids false statements in a case of law—perjury. "It is a prohibition of slander, or of careless speech affecting the good name of one's fellow man. This is not, as many have supposed, a mere injunction to truthful speech on all occasions."—Trumbull. The last commandment is a unique one. Search all the laws of the world and you will not find one which resembles it. The sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth commandments you will find in all codes, though only as prohibitions of crimes amenable to judicial punishment. The tenth commandment is the complement of all the rest. It shows that God requires of us not only outward virtue, but inward holiness; that he demands in us the sacrifice of the will, from which wicked actions spring; that sinful imaginations are a crime against him as well as wicked acts."—Farrar. Practical Points. The religious side must come first, as the inspiration to perform our duties toward then. Love to God our Father will necessarily lead to love to our fellow men, his children. When our hearts are filled with love to God and man, then they are no longer restraints, but guides as to the way our love should express itself. They are like fences by the roadside, showing us the way to go. These commandments are to convince us of sin. As we stand beside this ideal we realize how far short we have come. Operated at a loss. J. C. O. Morse, receiver for the Uncle Sam Oil company, has made a report to the stockholders. In his report Mr. Morse says the poor system of bookkeeping used makes it difficult to obtain an actual statement of the company's condition and $74,129.85 is still "unaccounted for." "Although the books of the company show that the Uncle Sam Oil company was operated at a loss," says the report, "yet on June 20, 1906, a dividend of two mills upon each share of stock sold was declared to the stockholders and checks payable in sixty days were issued. A large number of these checks were returned by the payee, and stock in the company was accepted instead. "On December 20, 1906, a dividend of three mills was declared but none of the checks was ever paid." The report says that the stock was sold by means of advertising and that $245,150.38 was spent in this way. The postage alone amounted to $18,364.22. County Not Liable for Costs. An important ruling has been made by Attorney General Jackson in response to a request from County Attorney F. W. Sturges, of Cloud county, and it will be of interest generally in Kansas. In many counties it has been the custom for the county to pay the costs in injunction cases where the plaintiff, the state, has secured a judgment and the costs could not be collected from the defendant. In a case in Cloud county, which was brought and afterward dismissed, the court held that, as the defendant was not responsible financially for the costs, they should be paid by the county. County Attorney Sturges refused to O. K. the bill and the commissioners declined to pay it. Meanwhile an opion was asked of the Attorney General, who holds that under the statutes the county can not be held liable for costs in an injunction case where they can not be collected from the defendant. Embalming Board Named. Under a law passed by the last legislature, Gov. Hoch has appointed the new state embalming board. It consists of three members: Joseph E. Johnson, Osawatomie; William H. Johnson, Hutchinson, and George Southern, Manhattan. The law provides that the members of the board shall receive $5 a day for each day during the annual examinations and limits the length of the examination to four days. Under the new law it will be unlawful for any person to embalm a body without passing the examination before the board. It will cost $10 to take the examination and upon receiving his certificate or license the embalmer must pay an annual fee of $2 in order to have it renewed. They Spare the Sunflower. In the weed crusade which is being carried on in Kansas City, Kan., by the sanitary department the sunflower is not to suffer. Sanitary Sergeant Addison has notified his corps of deputies that a sunflower, especially of the Kansas variety, is not to be classed as a weed, and that it must be protected against the cruel sickle. Bonds for a Rock Road. A majority of the property owners along the route of the proposed Rosedale-Lawrence road road in Lexington township, Johnson county, have signed the petitions to the county board for an issue of bonds to build the road from Shawnee to De Soto, a distance of 16 miles. Farmor Who Was Lost Taken Home. William A, Hoferland, a farmer living near Moreland, Graham county, suddenly became insane on the train out from Kansas City and got off at Wamego. He wandered about the railroad yards for some time, and finally came to the power house, where his unusual actions were noticed by the employees. He was taken in charge by the marshal and held until his wife and a neighbor arrived and took him home. The unfortunate man had been in Kansas City for hospital treatment. Short of Tteachers. State Superintendent Fairchild has had reports from 60 counties regarding the shortage of school teachers and has compiled figures from these reports showing that there is a total shortage of 40 teachers for those 60 counties. The counties are pretty well scattered and Mr. Fairchild believes that the total shortage for the state will not be more than 100. He bases his estimate upon the reports from the 60 counties. Contraband Mail Expensive. Postmaster Fred Willard has received orders from the postoffice department to collect fines of $10 each from two Leavenworth persons who have violated the United States postal regulations by mailing parcels containing letters, representing them to be second and third-class matter. Should these people refuse to pay their fines they will be indicted and brought into the federal courts. It is but the lenency of the department which permits so light a punishment.

Many stories are told of the eccentric doings and sayings of an old clergyman who lived in Maine some years ago. At one time there had been a fight among some men, one of whom was seriously hurt. A trial took place, and the old minister who had seen the affray was summoned as a witness. "What was Salson doing?" was the first question. "Oh, he was slashing around." "Well, sir, just what do you mean by that?" "Why, he was knocking about him here and there." "Now, sir, kindly tell us plainly what Salson did to this man." "Why, he—he enticed him," said the old minister slowly. "He enticed him with a crowbar. He used the crowbar to persuade the man—to entice him; and by a series of pokes and blows he succeeded in doing it," said the minister, mildly. SCALY ERUPTION ON BODY. Doctors and Remedies Fruitless—Suf- fered 10 Years—Completely Cured by Cuticura. "Small sores appeared on each of my lower limbs and shortly afterwards they became so sore that I could scarcely walk. The sores began to heal, but small scaly eruptions appeared. The itching was so severe that I would scratch the sores until the blood began to flow. After I suffered thus about ten years I made a renewed effort to effect a cure. The eruptions by this time had appeared on every part of my body except my face and hands. The best doctor in my native county and many remedies gave no relief. All this was fruitless. Finally my hair began to fall out and I was rapidly becoming bald. A few months after, having used almost everything else, I thought I would try Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Soap. After using three boxes I was completely cured, and my hair was restored, after fourteen years of suffering and an expenditure of at least $50 or $60 in vainly endeavoring to find a cure. B. Hiram Mattingly, Vermillion, S. Dak., Aug. 18, 1906." Did Not Prevent Rayeling. The raveling of state highways in Massachusetts during dry weather has generally been prevented in the past by spreading a thin coat of sand over the surface. During last year, however, there were two quite protracted dry spells which disturbed the bond of the road and caused loose stones to stand up on the surface. Although sand was spread thinly as before, it did not prevent the raveling in all instances—Engineer.

I was on your 95,000-acre ranch three days. I found it much better than I expected. I am satisfied in my own mind that with proper wind breaks, as we have in this country, oranges, lemons, apricots, figs, olives and almonds can be successfully grown there. I am sure that south of San Antonio is the natural home of the English walnut. The soil on your land is much better for fruit raising than it is in this country, because you have a good red clay subsoil, while in Southern California we have gravel and rock that does not hold moisture. We have to irrigate here at least ten times a year and continually work the shards, so don't touch it would be necessary on your land in South Texas, but not so much of it, because the red clay will hold moisture and will give the fruit a better flavor. Orange orchards in this country are worth from $300 to $1,000, and walnuts from $200 to $500 per acre. I think south of San Antonio to the Gulf is a better country than from Los Angeles, Cal., to San Diego, Cal., because the soil is better, there is more water, and the climate is just as good so far as I could see and hear he talking to old settlers, and the land is so cheap that every workingman should have a home. I am sure that in the near future South Texas will be a prosperous fruit growing country and will be as valuable as Southern California, and the man who will lose money in South Texas is the man that does not get in on this cheap land of yours before it is all gone. A man that has lived in Southern California as long as I have can see the future of South Texas. Never before has there been such an opportunity to secure a home in a delightful location for so little money and on such easy terms.

I must tell you that I owe you many thanks for persuading me to come out here, am only sorry that I wasn't persuaded sooner, and there is still plenty of good chances for many more right at the present time. I hope that you will be able to induce more to make a start out to this part of the country. Now I must tell you what I have accomplished since I came out here and it won't be three years till the 1st of July. I shall shortly receive my patent for my homestead, the homestead cost me $10.00 in all, to-day it is worth $30.00 per acre, but it is not for sale. Then a year ago last May I bought 320 acres at $7.00 per acre and sold this fall for $20.00 per acre and cleared a profit of $4,160.00. How is that for the Northwest? I now have 320 acres of land and all paid for, 15 head of horses, 30 head of cattle, 22 pigs, 2 sheep and about 150 chickens and other poultry, and all new machinery and everything is paid for. We also bought 8 lots in Calgary and 7 in High River. We gave $470 for the 15 lots and they are paid for. At present I consider myself worth $13,000.00, and when I left Wisconsin less than three years ago I had about $2,000.00. This year I threshed a little over 4,000 bushels of grain, have about one thousand bushels of fine potatoes and about five hundred bushels of turnips. Mrs. Belsiegel sold about $200 worth of garden truck and poultry this fall. Now there are lots of others in this community who did as well as I did in the same length of time.

Only choice selections of this well-matured and thoroughly cured tobacco is used in making SCHNAPPS. That's why SCHNAPPS and others of the Reynold's brands, as shown by the Internal Revenue statistics for a fiscal year, made the wonderful growth of six and one-quarter million pounds, or a net gain of one-third of the entire increased consumption of chewing and smoking tobaccos in the United States. Evidently, chewers cannot resist the flavor and they cheer SCHNAPPS because SCHNAPPS cheers them more than any other chewing tobacco, and every man that chews SCHNAPPS passes the good thing along—one chewer makes other chewers—until the fact is now established that there are many moreulating flavor so appreciated by tobacco lovers. All imitations contain much more sweetening than SCHNAPPS. They are made that way to hide poor tobacco improperly cured. For the man who chews tobacco for tobacco’s sake, there is no chew like SCHNAPPS.

If you want your husband, brother or son to look dressy, to feel comfortable and to be thoroughly happy use DEFIANCE STARCH in the laundry. It is sold by all good grocers at roc a package in ounces. Interior starches sell at the same price per package but contain only 12 ounces. Note the difference. Ask your grocer for DEFIANCE STARCH. Insist on getting it and you will never use any other brand.

Take away a Negro's job and you have got him. Well, Crews it is your next move; are you not tired of paying rent. It will take just six months to whip N. C. Crews and do a good job of it. The fight on Crews has just begun. Farther along other things will develop. So Crews says he has a man who, before long, will be principal of Lincoln High School Say, Crews, where do you get your logic or have you any? So T. C. Unthank has bought him a house way out on Montgall. Old General Grant has begun his march toward Richmond and the rebels are all moving. Grant's message to Abraham Lincoln was "that he would fight it out along this line if it took all summer to do it." So it is with the Son. We fight it out on these lines if it takes the whole year to do it. Say Crews are you going to move from the bloody Sixth Ward? Let us know and we will hire a brass band to march with you, as the marching Club wont be enough to escort the big wind Boss from the Ward. NELSON CREWS DID NOT MAKE GOOD IN ST. LOUIS. The facts exposed by the Rising Son concerning Nelson C. Crews seem to have made themselves apparent throughout the entire state. Even people in the state have awakened to the political danger of the Negro. Crews and others were delegates to the solemn conclave in St. Louis, July 10 and 11. It has been noticeable that the delegates of other parts of the state have been determined that Crews should not dominate the convention. There was a concerted effort on the part of every one to tight him in all the communities. The results of which the committee appointment went to the so-called Lesser Lights leaving an entire blank in the cap of Mr. Crews. With this little exception the meeting was an entire success. Every Negro from Kansas City made himself good throughout the entire state. The venerable Bishop Grant was made president of the organization; W. C. Hueston was made chairman of the credential committee and other delegates from Kansas City received appointments. This conclave will have a tendency to mould a sentiment throughout the state of Missouri. Our teachers in the Manual training department of the Public Schools have proved themselves very efficient workmen and practical demonstrators of their trade. This summer they are building houses for other people. Prof. Nesbitt especially is constructing for himself a very nice flat on Flora avenue. Prof. White has made some very successful repairing of several houses around the city, showing that the Negro can be master of his trade. These two men have shown their ability as teachers by practical demonstrations. Well the delegates left for St. Louis to attend the Solemn Conclave. The Son is rapidly winning all of its contentions. --- Now Is the Accepted Time. This is the high tide of the year; enjoy it while you may, for presently the flood of new life will halt, all verdure grow rusty, and another measure of your existence, another one of your bountifully given chances to do something to warrant your being on this good earth at all, will have gone forever—Boston Globe. Secret of Happiness. Keep true to your best faith and dot the days with deeds which love and kindness prompt. Be just in your dealings and keep from stain of sin in thought and word, and you shall wear the crown of an approving conscience and know the secret of the happy life—I. Mench Chambers. Aunt Jemimah in Court. Vanderhoof, the lawyer, tells of an honest old negress whom he met coming from the court house. "Good morning, Aunt Jemima, what have you been doing in court?" With much hauteur she replied: "One o' na friends jes' had a case 'to de judge, en Ise been down to gib my testification." Bones of Santa Claus How many persons know where the bones of the original Santa Claus lie? At present they repose in a town in southern Italy, where they have rested for nearly nine centuries. Before they were laid to rest there the good St. Nicholas was burted for six centuries in Myra. Clearing-House for Dogs and Cats. New York's Bide-A-Wee home is a combination cat and dog clearing-house and home for the friendless. Last year the home received 1,871 dogs and 1,329 cats. Of the dogs homes were found for 1,288, while 825 cats were placed in new quarters. Stealing Africa. Virtuous Europe no longer steals Africans from Africa, remarks Charles Wellington Furlong, in Harpers. Her civilization, honesty and humanitarianism have frowned upon that; so now she reverses the order of things and steals Africa from the Africans. Mr. Alfred Rivers has sold his interest in the Afro-American Employment Agency to Mr. F. E. J. Weaver, who is now the sole proprietor and manager of the business, assisted by Mrs. F. J. Weaver. D. W. Langston, proprietor of the barber shop 718 E. 8th, has installed a new soda fountain. Mr. Langston is using the best materials in that business. He wishes his many friends to give him a call.

"It won't be against your will—you'll wish it." She raised her eyebrows in unbelief. "I'll make myself so necessary to you that you can't help wishing it," he went on confidently. "But I don't need you for—anything," she objected. Oh, but you may, you know," he smiled, imperbitably. "I'll be your knight and fight for you as in the olden time." "I'm no princess shut up in a castle, Charlie," she retorted, all the more scornfully because his words had given her a curious little thrill. "The extent of your warfare thus far has been to procure me an ice or to bring me my fan," she went on, with tilted chin. the satchel from himself onto train had startled Kathleen amble during the York, nor in comfortably board the booth days at sea w ladies scarcely the fourth day warm sun en steamer chair there half aance of an when a low vc If you'll look at your head, rest, I think you Charlie He At your sew Why, how gan delighted! "Not very dragon-like obstacles, I acknowledge," he laughed back at her, "still—there's time yet, so long as the princess remains unwed," he finished, bringing his thin, clean-cut lips together decisively, as Kathleen turned away. When Kathleen Randal had unexpectedly fallen heir to a small fortune, she immediately announced her intention of traveling. "All my life," she declared laughfully, "I've been like Helen's Babies and have wanted to 'see the wheels A man and a woman are standing in front of a fireplace. The man is holding a gun and pointing it at the woman. The woman is standing on a chair and looking at the man. "As If You Could Against My Will!" go 'round'—if only they were car-wheels and taking me somewhere! she supplemented. "Now I'm going to go—and go—and go, and see if I can't satisfy this longing that is devouring me." It was but two days now before she, and the aunt who had been a mother to her all these years, would start on their journeys. Trunks and tickets, plans and packing, filled the house with confusion and her soul with delicious joy; there was no time for Charlie Heywood and his love-making—love-making that had become trite in its periodic repetition ever since her pharaoh days. That Charlie was young, good to look upon, rich, and altogether approved by her relatives, made it only worse—as if she could grow sentimental over her next-door neighbor, with whom she had made mudpies in her babyhood! At the very outset of her journey, Kathleen seemed doomed to disappointment, for the starecoach—her only means of transportation from the village to the railroad station five miles away—failed to call at her door, and disappeared far down the road in a cloud of dust. "Why, Auntie—if they haven't left us!" cried Kathleen, dropping in limp dismay onto the plaza steps. "Never mind; we'll go to-morrow," soothed Mrs. Howells. "But the boat—oh, Auntie, we'll lose the boat!" walled the girl, springing to her feet in sudden realization of what the delay meant. "Not gone yet?" called Heywood cheerfully, over the fence. "Old Abe's late this morning," he continued, with an airy innocence that gave no hint of his knowledge of the shameless bribe even then in Old Abe's pocket. "I was just going down to the station to see you off." "Oh, Charlie, he's left us—we've lost the boat!" moaned Kathleen, wringing her hands. "Not much, you haven't!" shouted Heywood over his shoulder, as he turned with suspicious promptness and ran towards his open stable door. "Here, jump in, both of you," he commanded a minute later, bringing his huge red automobile to a standstill before them. "Oh, lovely, lovely!" gurgled Kathleen bundling Mrs. Howells into the back seat and leaping in beside her. "Let's see—your baggage went last night, I believe," said Heywood—as if it had not gone at his own suggestion! It was somewhat later that Heywood said muzzling, as he held her hand in parting: "Him, well, I don't know—an automobile is a pretty good substitute for a rusty sword." "Don't be ridiculous," she returned with some dignity; then her eyes danced "I'll take the auto every time, though!" she laughed, as she skipped up the car steps after her aunt. Heywood gave a few short orders to the man beside the machine, caught the satchel from his hand, and swung himself onto the last car after the train had started. Kathleen and her aunt had no trouble during the short journey to New York, nor in establishing themselves comfortably in their staterooms on board the boat; but the first three days at sea were very rough and the ladies scarcely left their berths. On the fourth day a clear blue sky and a warm sun enticed Kathleen into her steamer chair on deck. She had sat there half an hour in listless endurance of an uncomfortable position, when a low voice said in her ear: "If you'll let me put this cushion at your head, and readjust your foot rest, I think you'll be easier." "Charlie Heywood." "At your service." "Why, how in the world—" she began delightedly, then her whole figure stiffened. "This is never going to do at all," she finished with decision. Heywood busied himself with the cushion and the foot-rest and did not seem to hear. "I am traveling with my aunt," she began again, with some asperity. "Certainly!" he responded cheerfully, picking up her magazine for her. "There, now I am sure you will be more comfortable." And he bowed himself off. All through the rest of the voyage Kathleen did not see him once, though she watched for him every day—first fearfully, then resentfully. When once again on land, Kathleen stood guard over her trunks and traveling bags with a frowning face. "Why can't they have cheeks over here and transfer one's baggage in a good, Christian manner?" she demanded wrathfully of her aunt. "Suppose I attend to it for you," suggested Heywood at her elbow. "Oh, then you are on earth!" returned Kathleen, a bit ungracefully, though a relieved look can be into her eyes. The look remained until Heywood had seen then enroute for their hotel then it changed to one very like regret as his form was lost to sight in the crowd. "Er—ah—what's Charlie doing over here?" inquired Mrs. Howells, with the hesitation one always showed in asking Kathleen questions regarding rieywood. "Business, he says," she replied, with a shrug of her shoulders. In London Kathleen saw Heywood just three times—once when she and her aunt lost their bearings on the Strand, again when he obtained for them permission to enter a certain palace which they wanted very much to see, and a third time when in a panic in a London theater made his presence something in the nature of a godsend. "Charlie Heywood has a remarkable faculty of making his advent delightfully opportune!" observed Mrs. Howells, with a shrewd glance at Kathleen's face. "Humph! it strikes me he's a little bit officious," retorted Kathleen, again trying to banish with scornfulness that curious thrill. Kathleen had friends in Paris, and she danced and flirted and drove and shopped in an endless whirl of gavety, Days passed. Save with the eye of her fancy, Kathleen had not once seen Heywood, though she looked for him at every turn. One afternoon, ignoring the fact that Paris is not New York, she slipped out alone for a short walk. She was strangely restless, and her feet flew faster and faster; even then, they seemed to her to be but crawling over the pavements. An hour passed and she turned to go back, but after another 60-minute walk, she awoke to a realization that she had lost her way. "How stupid of me!" she murmured, biting her lips with annoyance. She stopped to rest at a table in an open air restaurant, but when a be-ringed, bestudded man slipped into the seat at her left, she fled again to the sidewalk. "You are looking for some one?" a voice at her side suggested. A sudden throb of joy tingled to Kathleen's finger tips. "Go—go away!" she cried feebly, glorying in the absolute certainty that the man wouldn't obey her. "Right away—now?" he asked. She nodded—but drew nearer to him. "I—I’m tired of being rescued, Charlie," she laughed, hysterically. He gave a keen glance at her flushed cheeks and hailed a carriage. He helped her in without speaking, gave an order to the driver, and seated himself at her side. "How stupid of me—I never thought of a carriage," she quavered, brushing back the loose hair from her eyes. She stole a glance at the man's gloomy face, and a rose-pink flushed to her forehead. "Let me see," she went on softly, "an automobile, a cushion, a—a—" "Don't!" he interrupted harshly. "But, really," she continued, a queer little tremor in her voice, "I was only naming them over—the weapons have been so very — effective — that—" Heywood looked up quickly. Hewood looked up quickly. "Kathleen, you don't mean that—" "The castle has been stormed and the princess is—is—" She raised shy eyes to his face. "Mine at last!" he breathed, the light of a long-deferred joy in his eyes. SUMMER MODE THE FASHION OF THE EASTERN WORLD Fashion is looking up, and the influence of clothes is being realized. There is no doubt that clothes to a very great extent make the woman, and that man is more easily allured by the grace of the gown than the grace of the mind, although, of course, he would have you think otherwise, and will hold forth with considerable emphasis on the text that no man ever knows what costume a woman has on, nor is he at all concerned with the shape of her hat, or the way she does her hair! Any woman realizes more accurately the real masculine attitude towards the feminine fashions. And what are the feminine fashions just at the moment? Well, they are making conclusively for the diaphanous fabric, the feathered hat and the lace insertion. The new model Irish lace dresses are quite delightful, specially those which have loose lace coats and skirts which fit tightly round the hips and flow outward at the feet. I prefer the loose coat and the thin blouse which is entirely made of lace, and more especially would I recommend this to the stout woman, for there is much reticence in the full loose coat, which at once conceals the outlines and disguises its attempt. Lace is not as transparent in its method as in its outward seeming. Still, under any circumstances the Irish lace dress, whether from Paris or from the Emerald isle, is not within the reach of most of us. We content ourselves, and well content ourselves, too, with dresses of fine lace, dresses of lawn, dresses of muslin. Never were the muslins prettier, especially as some one remarked with more wit than wisdom, "when they are cotton volles." Cotton volles grow in number, and improve in quality every day, while they remain pleasantly within the grasp of the most limited income, and disport themselves gayly with stripes and checks and spots and flowered patterns, the stripes being most prominently in favor in every color and size. I advise those who choose a black and white stripe to be careful to select the narrowest, for in wide stripes burks ever the suggestion of Brother Bones in his Sunday best. The narrow black stripe is altogether delightful when supplied with the appropriate vest of net or lace, and perhaps a touch of pale blue ribbon to form a tie or the edge of the collarband. Muslin and net ribbon-trimmed hats are assisting their right to consideration, and the manufacturers have devised many novelties in hats of linen, but these being destined to take the place of the panama, and assuming equally nondescript shapes, shapes which lend themselves to individual influence, and will appear smiling and even becoming when the crown is bunched into a hollow, and the brim irregularly convulsed. The linen hats with stitched brims and stitched crowns are trimmed with scarfs of crepe de chine or soft silk, the ends being embroidered and fringed. The newest belt is made of leather of one color, and striped with leather of another color, and this looks its best with a white foundation and striped in black. But elastic belts continue popular, no doubt, by reason of their adaptability, and belts of ribbon either buckled or held with embroidered buttons or hooks, are particularly becoming in the small waist. Much favor is still being shown to the ribbon belt, which is made in one with over-sleeves and braces of ribbon, these braces being either frilled or plain, made of the ribbon treated simply, or made of piece silk adorned with a trellis of silk, the best effect being gained by some dark ribbon which matches the skirt, while the blouse with which these are worn is of fine white soft lawn. China silk is also much in request, mostly bearing a design on either border, while the groundwork is invariably white, and silver embroideries glisten triumphantly from foundation of straw-colored net. Straw and buff are tones which hold their own, and may be found in net. 1 Original Design for an Afternoon Dress. Black taffeta, trimmed with black slik insertion. The shirt is tucked to fit round the hips. Black hat with long white feather fastened with a buckle. chiffon and glace, and attractive cloth frocks also strike these notes, and they look well if all skilled skillfully to black and white stripes. Light colored cloth and heavy gulpure lace, and black and white stripes are a favorable union of fashion, and those whom fashion has joined let no woman an asunder until fashion has us convinced they do not agree. Profitable Tobacco Growing. The American tobacco crop has within the last few years assumed greatly increased importance. Quality as well as the quantity has improved. The farmers in some parts of the south, where this crop has been taken up, are making money beyond their fondest dreams in the cultivation of tobacco, and it is said that the unusual sight has been witnessed there of the agents of the large manufacturing companies practically on their knees begging for a few bales of tobacco. Statistics of Great Industry At the census of 1905 the number of sawmills reported was 18,277, and their combined capital was $291,621,184. They furnished employment on the average to 223,674 wage earners, paid $100,310,891 in wages, consumed materials costing $263,865,101, and manufactured products to the value of $491,524,662. In this industry Wisconsin ranked first in value of products, Washington second, Michigan third, Louisiana fourth and Pennsylvania fifth. Interesting Curio. A curio, the origin of which no scientist ever has been able to explain, ornaments the mantel in the parlor of Dr. Charles Tuckett, a St. Louis spiritualist. This curiosity is the exquisitely carved figure of a partially draped woman on the inside of an ordinary river clam shell, which was found 40 feet deep in clay near Lexington, a number of years ago. The figure looks is though it might originally have been fashioned out of Potter's clay, but trickling water and the actions of chemicals far below the earth's surface have brought to pass a sort of petrification which causes the dainty bit to resemble alabaster. It has attached itself to the shell, which is also in the state of semi-petrificatoin and stands about half open. How the wonderful little figure got into the shell, by whose hand it was fashioned and how it came to be way below the earth, imbedded in ancient clay, is more than any of the several scientists who have studied the curio are able to say. A Jefferson City Paper Quit. The Republican Review, the only republican daily paper at Jefferson City, suspended publication because it was unable to make a financial success. The paper was run in the last campaign by the republican state committee through Thomas Neidringhaus and Joseph C. McCoy, secretary. After the campaign closed the paper was sold under a mortgage by Neidringhaus. Walter S. Dickey was the purchaser. Dickey put Vernon L. Smith of Chillicothe in charge, but paid little attention to the paper. About two weeks ago the State Journal Publishing company of St. Louis, a company organized by Secretary McCoy, took over the paper and closed it out. Bees Held the Road. A hive of bees which swarmed in the middle of the Mexico road near Columbia made things lively for travelers there for three days. The owner of the bees hived them several times, but every time they flew back to the same spot in the road. Finally they were taken to a hive a couple of miles away where they stayed and went to work. Bee men say that the queen bee had probably been killed at the spot where the hive swarmed. They would have perished there, the bee men say, if the owner had not secured a queen cell and placed it in the last hive with them. Peruvians at Rolla. D Feodora Diaz and Hector Boza have arrived in Rolla to enter the School of Mines next year. Diaz registers from Santiago de Chile and Boza from Lima City, Peru. They came to America to study mining and selected the School of Mines of Missouri. They were met in New York by Emilio Diaz, brother of Feodora, who attended the School of Mines last year, and who was elected president of the International Society of the School of Mines. Until the school opens in the fall they will study the English language. Pioneer Preacher Dead. Rev. Daniel Penny, Ray county's oldest citizen, who died at his home north of Morton the other day, was in his 96th year. He lived in his native country, England, until the year 1838, when he came to America and settled near Morton in Ray county, where he had made his home for nearly 70 years. In 1843 he joined the Missouri conference of the Methodist church and was a member of that body for 64 years, and was, perhaps, the oldest Methodist minister in Missouri and the United States. A Friend of Roosevelt. John Willis of Moberly has bought a big store in that town. He was born in Missouri, Boone county, went west and located in Montana when he was 18 years of age. He accumulated quite a fortune and only recently is said to have sold his big $75,000 ranch to an eastern syndicate. He has the distinction of being a close personal friend of President Roosevelt, the president having lived near him on a ranch in Montana prior to his elevation to the governorship of New York or to the presidency. Mr. Willis has been President Roosevelt's confidential companion and escort on each of the now famous bear hunts he has taken through Montana. Surveying a New Road. The survey has been begun on the proposed railroad from Clark, in Randolph county, to Rocheport in Boone county. It will open up the coal fields of Northwest Boone. As projected it passes through Woodlandville, Rucker and Harrisburg and will follow Perche creek. State Gets $30,000 Check. State Treasurer Gmelich has received from the government a check for $30,000, this being Missouri's portion of the education fund accruing under the Morrill act. This is $5,000 more than the state has ever received from the fund before. Of this amount the university gets $21,093.75; the School of Mines at Rolla $7,031.25 and Lincoln institute $1,875. Clinton's Ambition. Clinton wants a public park and a permanent fair association. MRS. EMMA STOLT. Mrs. Emma Stolt, 1069 Oneida St., Ap pleton, Wis., writes: "Peruna has done me a great deal of good since I began taking it and I am always glad to speak a good word for it. "Three years ago I was in a wretched condition with backaches, bearing down pains, and at times was so sore and lame that I could not move about. I had in flammation and irritation, and although I used different remedies they did me no good. "A neighbor who had been using Peruna advised me to try it, and I am glad that I did. I began to improve as soon as I took it and I felt much better. "I thank you for your fine remedy. It is certainly a godsend to sick women. Catarrh of the Internal Organs. Miss Theresa Bertles, White Church, Mo., writes: "I suffered with catarrh of the stomach, bowels and internal organs. Everything I ate seemed to hurt me. I never had a passage of the bowels without taking medicine. I was so tired mornings and ached all over. I had a pain in my left side, and the least exertion or excitement made me short of breath. Now, after taking Peruna for six months, I am as well as I ever was. Peruna has worked wonders for me. I believe Peruna is the best medicine in the world, and I recommend it tomy friends."

"I wish to speak to you about that bartel of apples I bought day before yesterday," said the kind-looking old gentleman. "You'll have to see the clerk who sold them to you," the grocer answered, very snappishly. "I don't know anything about them." "But I desire to say to you personally that—" "Now, look here; I can't be bothered over every pound of sugar or pint of elder or barrel of apples that my clerks sell. Just see the young man who waited on you. He's around somewhere." "Yes, I see him there at the back end of the store; but I really felt that it was my duty to tell you about it. You see—" "If I stood around listening to everybody who comes into this store to conclaim that they've bought something they didn't want, or that they've been slighted, as they think, by my clerks. I wouldn't have time for anything else. You'll please excuse me. The clerk will hear your complaint, and if there is anything we can do you may be sure it will be done. But we can't take back a barrel of apples after they have been out of the store two or three days. You can surely see that if we did business in such a way-" "My dear sir, I don't want you to take back the apples, and I haven't any complaint to make. I merely wished to tell you that I found the apples at the bottom of the barrel to be just as big as the ones at the top. I believe in the principle of giving praise wherever it may be fairly given, and I stepped in to order another barrel, and I see you're too busy to bother with such a trifle this morning, so I will be going."—Chicago Record Herald. BIG STICKS IN LONDON Johnnies Carrying Canes of 48 Inches and Size Is Growing. The London "Johnny" has a new fad. This time it concerns his walking stick, which has now reached the extraordinary length of 46 inches, and is still growing. Of course it is impossible to make much use of such a stick as an aid to walking. The London dude carries his horizontalwise, much to the annoyance of other pedestrians before and behind, and especially at crowded crossings. It is hardly reasonable to suppose that the New York "Willie Boy" is going to follow in the footsteps of London's "Johnny" in this matter of walking sticks. Neither New York nor any other busy American city would stand for them. Imagine one of these walking canes, carried horizontally, attempting to board a subway or Brooklyn bridge train or to turn a busy Broadway corner during rush hours. Everybody who has attempted to board a train carrying even a small package can imagine the fate of the walking stick. —N Y. World. Experienced "You say you're an experienced man?" asked the president of the police board, examining an applicant for an appointment as patrolman. "I am," answered the applicant. "How do you mean?" "I've had a great deal of experience with riots." "As a rioter?" "No, sir." "Have you ever been an officer?" "No, sir." "Have you ever been a strike breaker?" "No, sir." "What do you know about riots, then?" "I was an owl car conductor in St. Louis for six nights, sir."—St. Louis Post Dispatch. Coins Found in Old Wall A remarkable discovery of a board of gold and silver coins, amounting in value to about £300, has been made in the townland of Annaloughe, near Auheloyle, county Tyrone. The money was discovered hidden in an old wall beside the house which has been the property of the same family for generations. The back of the wall at one time formed a portion of the original house. How or when the horde was placed in position where it was discovered is a mystery, but from the dates on the coins it must have been at least half a century ago.—Westminster Gazette. Hibernating Bats. Nearly all bats have the faculty of hibernating. Their hibernation, however, is not perfect—that is to say, that when the warm days occur in the middle of winter they wake up, together with the insects which are their food. Still, theils is a true hibernation trance, differing from sleep, with very low rate of pulse, heart action and respiration. Probably they would endure immersion in water for an hour or two without drowning, as other hibernators have been found to do. Chance for Inventors. Suppose that one could find an alloy that would bear the same relation to aluminium that steel does to carbon or bronze to tin, says the Engineering Record. The result would be a new structural material of immense importance in mechanical work. The builders of light machinery are looking for just this thing. THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE Will Hold Its 8th Annual Session in Topeka, Kansas, August 14th, 15th and 16th, 1907. The National Negro Business League of which Booker T. Washington is president, will hold its 8th annual session in Topeka, Kansas, this year; the dates having been fixed for Aug. 14th, 15th and 16th. It is the first time in the history of the organization that it has seen fit to hold a session so far west as Kansas. This league, as is generally known, is composed of many of the best, most influential and industrious men and women of the race, and may say that in a large measure, represents the wealth, business acumen and intelligence of the race. And when we say intelligence, we do not mean to confine the terms to literary attributions, but we mean that class of men and women who do things, who accomplish something for themselves, and are a living and practical example to the commercial and business world, that could well be emulated. Men and women of every livelihood are represented in this great concourse of industry that is soon to invade, for the first time, the broad and inviting plains of historic Kansas. Largely the majority of those attending will come from the North, East and South; some as delegates, and many as friends of the League who will make the trip, to see the west as a matter of curiosity, and personal pleasure. The attendance will be large; we dare say, the largest in the history of the League in point of delegates enrolled. What will the West do? To what extent will we contribute to this splendid galaxy of he commercial and business world? Is it not the most opportune moment to place ourselves favorably before those of the more distant parts, who are soon to become our guests? It will be a splendid opportunity for the North, South, East and West, to touch the cord of common brotherhood and for three days drink from the same fountain that will be filled with the Jessons of economy, theft and industry. There has never been a time in the history of this republic when there was a greater necessity for a common understanding; an understanding as to the best methods of making a life worth living. Of making a life, not only commendable to ourselves or one's own country, but to the world. The program for this session will be ripe with seed thoughts, thoughts which when once dropped, will take root and send forth a hundred fold. The benefits to be derived from this meeting, especially to the west, is calculable. The opportunity will not, unless we begin at once to look be seen until it is past. To the end, therefore, that we in the west, especially, may be able to grasp and hold all the benefits that are to be derived from the meeting, it is urged that in each community, (city and country alike) that Leagues - Business men's leagues be organized and delegates elected at once to attend this meeting, and all business men and women put forth every possible method to be in attendance and hear the program. The committee on Transportation is assured of a rate of not over 11:30 fare for the round trip for the benefit of those who may avail themselves of the opportunity. Topeka most heartily extends to all her warmest and best right hand. The necessary committees have been for all will be provided. A most appointed and ample accommodations hearty reception will be extended. Further information will be given by addressing Ira O. Guy, First Vice President, National Negro Business League at 311 West 14th Street, Topeka, Kan. L. L. JONES. Mr. L. L. Jones, Vice President of The Black Diamond Development Company who is among the greatest financiers of our race, and a strong pillar of the Blacq Diamond Co. is now in the city. To give the Kansas City people a chance to purchase stock in this company. He has just returned from the field where they have eight wells and a pipe line and 630 acres of Gas and Oil property to develop, and is now marketing their Gas in Kansas City and Kansas City, Kansas, and all towns in this section are using gas which the Black Diamond Developing Co. is helping to supply. They can cheerfully recommend this investment as one of the best that colored people ever had a chance to get next to. This Company has overcome all obstacles and made good. Your investment now will be a safe one as you have no risk to run or chances to take. This is a great deal more than many other companies can say. This is one company of color upon which you can rest assured its success is made. Mr. Jones spent five days in the field looking after business for the company, and also met several men representing several large gas magnates who have spent from ten to thirty years in the business in the East, and they told him that they had a mint and could not help from getting rich some day. Mr. Jones will be in the city unti next Thursday. If any one would like to see him or purchase any stock he would be glad to have them call at 908 E. 12th, Smith's Drug Store. The stock of this company is now selling at 50 cents per share and pays dividend at its par value, $1 per share. We have to raise $3,000 to put in a large pipe line, so we can put the entire output at the wells on the market. We also will be able to put on the line all the additional wells in the future, which means a great saving of over $7,000 to the company in the future. Remember that this is the last chance that people will have to purchase Black Diamond Stock. Mr. Jones had a very interesting meeting at the Second Baptist church, 10th and Charlotte, last Monday night which proved very successful to the company. You should not fall to buy stock in the Black Diamond Development Co., first because of the men who are at the head of the firm, are men of wide business experience, brains and money and they are going to carry this company to success. Here is where you make your money earn money while you sleep. All of the leading people of this country have stock in this company, so do not be left on the outside, for a chance like this only comes once in a thousand years. There is no risk to run when you go in a company somebody else has made it a success. The names of such men as A. Wilberforce, Williams, L. L. Jones, Fred Wescott, S. L. Saiang Williams, at the head of this concern ought to be enough to convince every one of the stability of the company. We sell as low as 50 shares of the stock and up, but all cash. We do not give any time. Payments must be made inside of thirty days. Last chance. Buy now or never. Stock 50c per share. A FEW REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BUY BLACK DIAMOND DEVELOPMENT CO.'S STOCK. It is a corporation. It is not a scheme. It is a business enterprise. Every share is fully paid. There is no personal liability. All shares participate alike. There is no preferred stock. It has eight gas wells and a number of others to be drilled. The wells produce 15,000,000 cubic feet of gas per day. Its success is made. It has contracted for the sale of all its gas. It has contracted for 23 more wells. It now owns 630 acres of Gas leases. One pipe line finished April 20. Another now being installed. Missouri and Kansas both are burning Black Diamond Gas. Dividends will soon start. There were 105 stockholders October 24, 1905. There are over 500 now. There are only a few shares for sale now. No more will be offered to the public for sale. The Son has a lady attendant who will be here to transact all business along the newspaper line. For first-class meals 15c and neat rooms furnished and unfurnished, go to Mr. White's Restaurant, 1215 Independence. Ave. They say the only difference between Anna Jones and Elder Hurse is that the Jones lady pays a city fine, and the Rev., as head of that church is exempted from the law.

Sensational dispatches were sent to various daily newspapers of the country recently, stating that Cyrus Field Adams, assistant register of the Treasury, was "masquerading as a white man." The dispatch carried its own refutation when it named a number of national and local "colored" organizations with which Mr. Adams is connected. To those who are personally acquainted with Mr. Adams, and even the thousands who have any knowledge of his career, the charge is ridiculous, for they know that he has practically spent his whole life for the uplifting of the race. While yet in his teens he was appointed a teacher in the Colored public schools of Louisville, Ky., and also became the editor of The Bulletin, a paper published in the interest of the Colored race. A prominent colored man, a self-appointed protector of the white people, called their attention to the strong editorials which Adams was writing in defence of the race and they saw to it that he was not reappointed as teacher the following school year. Adams then went to Chicago, where for twenty-three years he has edited The Appeal a paper which has struck sledgehammer blows for the race. He has also contributed many articles on the race questions to the magazines. Mr. Adams is a life member of the National Afro-American Council; he was the first person to pay $50 for membership. Mr. Adams was the first to become a life member of the National Negro Business League, of which organization he is also transportation agent and he is president of the National Afro-American Press Association. Mr. Adams says that the statement that he blackballed Mr. Wilkerson, who applied for membership in the Washington Philatelic Society, is absolutely false. He voted for him and for every other person who has ever been proposed for membership. The dispatch was evidently the work of some local Ananias for Mr. W. Calvin Chase, one of the District's most prominent citizens and the editor of The Bee, who was charged as being at the head of a movement against Mr. Adams, declares that there is no such movement on foot and Mr Wilkerson says that he does not even know Mr. Adams and that he is not connected wit hany movement having the case as a basis of operation. --- At the recent meeting of the Colored Men's Business League the following officers were elected for a term of one year: J. A. Lankford, president; W. H. Davis and Edward Rowser, secretaries; William L. Pollard, treasurer; Daniel Freeman, first vice-president; Dr. Mary Williams, second vice-president; W. R. Griffin, third vice-president, and J. B. Nickerson, sergeant-at-arms. William T. Vernon, register of the treasury, was elected a member. The following delegates were elected to represent the District of Columbia in the annual convention of the National Negro Business League, which is to meet in Topeka, Kan. August 15, 16 and 17: J. A. Lankford, John C. Dancy, W. Calvin Chase, William L. Pollard, Dr. A. M. Curtis, Arthur Gray, Dr. W. H. Davis, Charles W. Brown, George Forest William T. Vernon, Mrs. L. R. Clark, Dr. Mary Williams, Daniel Freeman, James W. Poe, and Alex. W. Underdown. Dr. Davis then addressed the meeting on the advancement of the race in the District along certain lines and the good the local business league has done and can do. Howard University was founded on the 15th of November, 1867, and it is proposed to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of that event when the date comes around next fall. Arrangements have already begun. President Wilbur Patterson Kirkeld has conferred with President Roosevelt, who is expected to be the principal figure in the ceremonies, and a committee of the alumni has been organized to promote the success of the occasion. It is proposed to commemorate the event by raising the fund for a new building which is greatly needed to accommodate the 46,000 volumes which are now overcrowding the present library. The occasion will call back to Washington many of the 3,000 alumni for a reunion, and such a gathering will do more than anything else that could be planned to stimulate interest in the institution. The new president, Dr. Thirkield, will be inaugurated at that time. Let this be understood by every one who reads this paper. First that this paper under its new management can back up anything that goes within its sheets. Financially, intellectually or otherwise. So don't be too confident of your power of resistance. Wise and powerful men know their weakness and limit. Weak and foolish men know neither. Dr. J. H. Jones, who formerly had his office at 805 Independence Ave., is now at 1307 East Eighteenth St., over Smith's Drug store. He is without doubt an excellent physician and none have shown a more thorough knowledge of the diseases of women than he. The ladies whom he has treated are walking testimonials of his success. He is steadily building up a practice among them. The merit he shows in one case brings another as well as an increasing confidence and general practice.

The eight annual session of the National Negro Business League is to be held at Topeka, Kansas, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 14th, 15th and 16th, 1967. The Central Passenger Association is just preparing notice of its arrangement of a one and one-third round trip rate to be joined by the other passenger associations of the country for the coming meeting of the League. Mr. F. D. Patterson, Fourth Vice President of the National League, and manager of the carriage building firm of C. R. Patterson & Sons, Greenfield, Ohio, is taking an active part in increasing the influence of the organization in the state of Ohio. A large number of delegates from this section will likely attend the Topeka session of the League than at any previous meeting. The League will be tendered a grand picnic at the magnificent pleasure resort "Vinewood." about six miles from the city. On the evening of President Booker T. Washington's annual address, the meeting will be held in the Auditorium, a large assembly hall seating four thousand five hundred persons.
