Chicago, July 22.—Society citadels of the University of Chicago have been stormed by a negress—viacious, talented musically, as white skinned as the average white girl and much sought after because of her clever linguistic and conversational accomplishments. Her trumps endured and waxed until it was discovered that the girl, who up to that time had been welcome to the most sacred college circles as a white coed, was in reality a cousin of "Mush Mouth" Johnson and was reared in his family. "Mush Mouth" Johnson has received much newspaper and police court notoriety because of his prominence as a First ward gambler, second in political rating only to "Hinky Dink" and the "bath house." The explosion came yesterday when the facts regarding her race and blood were spread broadcast among her class and college mates, to the astonishment of all except the members of the exclusive sorority of Pi Delta Phi, to whose collective heart she had been clasped as a beloved and admired associate. They learned the truth some time ago and erased her name from their membership roll, and, fearing ridicule, made solemn pledges of secrecy. Miss Cecelia Johnson, the 'varsity co-ed, who has so long kept secret her blood relationship to "Mush Mouth," was hostess last night in the family residence at 5830 Wabash avenue. As fair of countenance as any ordinary white girl, she entertained eight or ten Afro-Americans of the blackest hue. There wasn't a mulatto in the party. "Mr. John Johnson is my brother," said Miss Johnson, but this is not exactly her blood relationship to the man better known as "Mush Mouth." She has been reared to call him "brother," but that is because she has been practically, although not legally, adopted into the family of Mrs. Ellen Johnson, mother of "Mush Mouth." At The University Five Years. Miss Johnson has been a student at the university five years and her social triumphs extend over the greater part of the period. From an obscure freshman girl to the leader of one of the Midway sets—and now back again to her original station—has been the experience of the negro gambler's relative. The girl was one of the most popular co-eds who ever entered the university. She was welcome at any entertainment because of her beauty and wit, her musical accomplishments and her culture. Her card was always the first to be filled at the numerous dances of the university students and her company was sought after by all the young blooms of the institution. During her supremacy at the university the girl became noted for the modish costumes she affected, her chic air and the wonderful diamonds she wore at the formal parties. In June of 1906 she took her bachelor's degree from the university with honors. Kindly insert the following in this week's issue if possible. The delegates to the District Grand Lodge of Missouri and District Grand Household, will leave Monday for Booneville, to attend the 26th annual session of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of Missouri, which convenes in that city August 6th, 7th and 8th. They will be accompanied by the District Grand Master, Edward S. Lewis also of this city. Wednesday evening, Kansas City Patriarch No. 66, with 13 swords under command of Captain Thomas Eaton, and Lieutenant A. D. Parron, will also leave to participate in the parade of Thursday and will also give an exhibition drill while there.

Kind friends as you know, for some time we have been struggling to secure a respectable place of worship, and many have been our hinderances, but we now believe that by the help of God and the management of our new minister we will be able to accomplish something commendable, to us as a church and to the race of which we are a part.

STATE FAIR SEDALIA Great preparations are being made for the Seventh Annual Exhibition of the Missouri State Fair, October 51th, 1907. Three new brick barns, practically fire-proof, with a capacity of 150 animals each are being erected. New walks are being laid and the old ones repaired. Larger water main are laid and extended to all stock barns, affording an abundance of water for live stock and an increased pressure for extinguishing fire. The main boulevard is being laid with macadam under the supervision of the United States Department of Good Roads, thus furnishing a sample of permanent roadway for the inspection of visitors, built in the mose approved and practical manner. Every possible convenience for the comfort and entertainment of visitors is being provided, and the most successful meeting in the history of the institution is assured. The County Clerk has Premium Lists for distribution, or Secretary Ripley at Sedalia will furnish you with ful information. In the middle of October 1906, when nature was in one of her most fascinating moods, a little group of girls met under the supervision of Madam J. F. Shannon as chaperon at 1717 E. 17th Street, for the purpose of organizing a club. The name was then brought forth and one bright, energetic woman, with the consent of the girls, decided that the organization would be called Clionion Circle—deriving its meaning from "Clio" one of the Greek nurses of Epics poetry. The purpose of the circle is to bring about a social and intellectual advancement and to do charitable deeds the circle has become a member of the Womans' State Federation and was represented by Mrs. Zella Arnold at the last meeting of the federation during the holidays. Having thus given a bazaar, moonlight fete and also a reception during the holidays—giving the Old Folks' and Orphans' Home ten dollars and have at the present time a reading room located in Miss Annie Warner's Conservatory, with a collection of fifty books and many periodicals—we feel thankful to our Savior and the many friends that take such interest in the circle. And it is also a pleasure to see the number has greatly increased during vacation and the circle feels confident the old adage "The more the merrier," will be fulfilled. The officers first elected and members belonging are: Pearl B. Chouau, President; Lottie H. Whittington, Vice President; Mamie Payne, Secretary; Bessie Patterson, Assist ant Secretary; Myrtle Lewis, Treasurer; Lola Ross, Editor; Blanche Barker, Librarian; Mrs. J. F.

To The Editor of The Rising Son:— Through your newspaper, I beg to call to the attention of our people the fact that December 17, 1907, will be the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of John Greenleaf Whittier. I need not remind the Negro people of the unselfish labors rendered by this great individual to the cause of freedom and for the perpetuation of the Union. Our race owes him a debt of gratitude which it will be difficult for us to repay. It seems to me that it would be very fitting if we should begin now to make preparations to celebrate this anniversary in a befitting manner. Such a celebration should be ar- ranged for in schools, churches, by literary organizations and various other organized bodies. I am just in receipt of a letter from friends of the poet living in Amesbury, Mass., his old home, advising of plans now being perfected for the celebration of this great event in Amesbury. I trust that our people everywhere will let the world know through a proper celebration of the event how much they honor the memory of the sainted Whittier. Yours faithfully. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON BRILLIANT RECEPTION TO DR. B F. ALLEN AND HIS BRIDE, AT LINCOLN INSTITUTE A brilliant reception was tendered Dr. B. F. Allen and his beautiful bride Mrs. Mayme Lee Williams Allen at Lincoln Institute on the evening of the 16th inst. by the summer school faculty, students and prominent citizens of Jefferson City. Dr. Allen was married June 26 to Miss Williams of Macon, Georgia. The former as the scholarly president of Lincoln Institute is too well known throughout the country for his worth and attainments to need further comment at this time; and Mrs. Ablen represents one of the most highly respected and well-to-do families of that beautiful Southern city, Macon, Georgia. She was for several years a member of the faculty of the High school at Chattanooga, Tennessee, and more recently has held the chair of mathematics in the Fort Valley high and industrial school, Georgia. To return to the reception—the ladies were beautifully attired, the bride's dress being a costly gown of white crepe de chine, princess style, trimmings of white rose point lace and sequins. A delicious menu of viands particularly well suited to the unusually warm weather was served in the spacious and beautifully decorated dining hall of Lincoln Institute. The tables were arranged in the form of a capital letter A, Dr. and Mrs. Allen occupying the seats of honor. Covers were laid for 50 guests. Prominent among these were Mr. and Mrs. Al Thomas, Mr and Mrs. Virgil Franklin, Mesdames Golus, King, Harrison, Henderson, Sexton, Jackson, Professor J. S. Moten and wife, Professor G. S. Murray and wife, Professor Josephine S. Yates, Professor J. W. Daniel, Misses Benora Lane, Emma Sandersons Parker, Geneva Mayberry, Sallie Sutherlin, Alta Williams, Floy King, Ledley Ford, Bird, Dolly, Lucy MacWorter, Elsie Mailey, Mabel Graham, Glover Hawkins, Messrs, Jacobs, Perry, Abingdon, Johnson, Grahah, Cooper, Cole, Collins, Grant, Turner, Nie Dowell and others among out of town guests we note Mrs. Elmer Jackson and Professor G. T. Evans both of Kansas City. The various courses of dalnty viands, well suited to the unusually warm weather, were interspersed Shampooing, Straightening, Scalp Treatment Tonics made for the hair, Hair Dyed, Hair Switches, Pompadours, Side Pieces made to order, and all lines of Hair work done in first-class style. as the most beautiful lady of Kansas City. with the musical and literary numbers of a well rendered programme, over which Professor Moten presided as toast master. The musical numbers, highly enjoyable, were given by Misses King, Williams, Mesdames Thomas, Jackson and Mr. Jacobs. Responses to toasts humorous and otherwise in character were made by Messrs. Franklin, Jacobs, Perry, Professor Yates, Murray and Daniel. The sentiment contained in each of these was entirely appropriate to the occasion, full of best wishes and highest hopes for the present and future happiness of the newly wedded pair. At the close of the programme Dr. and Mrs. Allen thanked their guests for the pleasures of the evening and assured their many friends of the very high appreciation they sustained for them in words which beautifully expressed the thought. The presents received both in Macon and Jefferson City were numerous and costly and are still coming. Miss Ora Carter of Lawrence, Kan. spent a delightful week visiting her friends, Mrs. Dwings, Mrs. I. F. Bradley and others. She will go to Lawrence Sunday.

Smith of Kansas City, Kan., who intends to practice law in St. Paul, Minn., is having a very sensational finish. The idea of a Negro shooting at a colored lawyer because he garnisheed his wages is t thing to be throttled and condemned in this community. If it had been a White lawyer the Negro would have slunk away like a lean hound to his kennel. Its the same way in any business, Ne Parlor Milliner Nats Made to Order in All Styles Signed groes do not give the proper amount of respect to professional men and of respect to professional men and Negroes who have authority. The same way with a Negro journal. When a reporter goes out and gets the news of some negroes wrongdoing, there is a great hubbub of dissatisfaction and a howl and threats. Wednesday night a negro of big physique met the editor of this paper, and because of some news that was to go in, or had gone in or will go in, began his braggard voice, but he was very easily quieted Let this statement go broadcast to the public and whoever you are, what ever you represent and how exclusive you may be, do anything that's a detriment to the public, your name shall appear in the Rising Son. Thousands of Negroes will read of their misdoing. A MERITED RECITAL Last Thursday evening at the 2nd Baptist church 10th and Charlotte, Sts. Our own poetess Miss Azella E. Martin gave a fine recital to a small but appreciative audience. Miss Martin has struggled in her career and she has reached now the stage where her productions demand recognition. Her numerous numbers were good and mystery and phantoms are merited because of their depth and sublimity. We give below her program in full: 1. Instrumental Solo, selected, Prof. R. G. Jackson. 2. Mystery, Good bye, Mistah Frost Miss Martin. 3. Original Instrumental solo, Miss Carrie Long. 4. Autumn's Lullaby, Swelle's live in Town, Miss Martin. 5. Vocal Solo, selected, Mme. M. L. Nelson Smothers. 6. Phantoms, When the Circus Comes to Town. (Suggested by recent circus.) Miss Martin. 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, theirs 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 allow 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. Milliner School Now Open Teacher of Millinery in All Latest Styles F WEST 1921 THE CHRISTIAN WORLD That faith in God wilt accomplish things which to man may seem impossible has received remarkable demonstration in the history of the Bible Institute of Pittsburg, Pa. It is an organization whose Christian activities are sustained entirely through prayer, one of the very few cases of the kind in the United States at the present time. [Illustration of a medieval building with a tower and a dome.] The history of this singular work, now in its THE PUBLIC INSTITI- this singular TUTE. work, now in its sixth year, is a most interesting one, says the Christian Herald. With absolutely no endowment or permanent fund, with neither collections nor salaries and without even telling of the needs of the work either in public or private, this institute, with its 40 students, has been acquired and equipped throughout, until now it represents $250,000 worth of property held in trust. To make the matter seemingly still more inexplicable, it may be stated that no charge for tuition is made. How then has all this been accomplished? Simply by earnest prayer and simple trust in God. The story of the work is best told, perhaps, in the words of the pastor and founder, Rev. Charles H. Pridgson, formerly of the First Presbyterian church, Canonsburg, Pa. He says: "For eight years before the work was started there had been prayer and waiting on God for a work of faith and the way to be opened. On July 24, 1901, my wife and I spent the night in special prayer. We asked the Lord to guide us as to beginning a Bible institute. Next morning, a diagram came which led to a conference and the offering of a building, to be used as church and institute. We resigned from the church where we had spent almost 12 years of delightful service, in obedience to this call." On the eighth day of December, 1901, the Pittsburg Bible institute, unforeminated, sustained by faith and free to all, was founded and opened. After 100,000 Men The Laymen's Missionary Movement is now working to enlist the cooperation of 100,000 men of all churches. The executive committee of the movement has just adopted the following declaration: "Believing it to be the duty of the church of Christ to reach the Gospel to every creature, it is our purpose to pray, to give, to study and to work, as God may give us opportunity, that the church of this generation may obey this command." Men by the hundreds are signing this declaration and sending their names to the New York headquarters of the movement, where the names are forwarded to the foreign mission organizations of the various denominations. Veteran of New Hebrides. After 23 years of service in the New Hebrides, Rev. Dr. Annand has returned to this continent. In the Hebrides he says women are bought and sold like cattle. A five-year-old girl is worth two hogs, and the price increases with age—up to a certain limit. There is no excuse for a man being a bachelor, provided he can raise the price of a hog. After 50 years of mission work, all the islands are nominally Christian. In the interior of some of the islands, however, cannibalism is still a popular institution. Only a short time before he left several instances of cannibalism were reported from the interior. "Watch and Ward" Society. The New England "Watch and Ward" society of Boston, Mass., is winning golden opinions from the citizens of uprightness and integrity throughout the commonwealth of Massachusetts by the aggressive campaign it has instituted against bucketshop gambling and the swindlers who congregate in its wake. The passage of the anti-bucket shop bill in both houses of the legislature will constitute a notable victory for Massa chusets in the annals of clean legislation. Forward Move of Pittsburg Mission Forward Move of Pittsburgh Mission. Superintendent Maurice Ruben, of the New Covenant Mission, Pittsburg, Pa., writes: "God's blessing has been resting upon our work. Quite a number of conversions have taken place among our brethren during the past season. Recently the board of directors purchased a property on the corner of Reed and Crawford streets, Pittsburg. It is a three-story modern flat building, and on the vacant lot adjoining it is purposed to erect another building for the full equipment of the mission. Several departments are to be developed. Mission School Prospers Mrs. W. S. Horne, of the China inland mission station at Kanchow, writes that her mission school now has 32 scholars. The station now has a chapel, two dwellings, a school and five out-stations. Eighteen years ago the people of that district had never heard the gospel. KANSAS HAPPENINGS Seeking Seed Wheat. Prof. Ten Eyck of the Agricultural college, has started for Alberta, Canadian Northwest, to see winter wheat growing in that far country and bring back some seed to plant in Kansas. Some years ago several car loads of Kansas hard wheat were shipped to Northwest Canada, and it may be that Prof. Ten Eyck will bring back some of the product of this wheat. The Northwest country is a spring wheat territory, but some winter wheat is planted there every year, and the experiment of bringing it back to Kansas will be an interesting one. Only enough seed will be obtained for planting on the experimental stations at Hays, McPherson and Manhattan. Director Burkett of the experiment station has gone on a similar errand to Russia and Turkey. The last session of the legislature authorized a special investigation for the purpose of improving the wheat of Kansas and the errands of Prof. Ten Eyck and Director Burkett are for this purpose. Express Companies Off Easy. Express Companies Off Easy. The tax commission has certified to J. M. Nation, auditor of state, the assessment and amount of tax each express company in Kansas will be required to pay to the state under the excise tax law enacted by the legislature last winter. No changes were made by the commission in the assessment as returned to the auditor by the express companies. The new law is rather a disappointment in the amount of revenue it brings to the state, the gross taxes of the five companies operating in Kansas being only $1,131. At the time the bill was passed its author. Senator George W. Hodges of Johnson county, estimated that it would bring a revenue of $12,000 a year. The law lays an excise tax of 14 per cent on the gross receipts of express companies for interstate business, less the amount paid to rail road companies for the hauling. A Kansan Quits in Washington. Barbecue Campbell Ranch Sold A syndicate of men, most of whom are Hurdelson capitalists, have bought for $50,000 the famous Barbecue Campbell ranch in Meade and Clark counties. The Barbecue Campbell ranch is cut through by the county line that separates Clark and Meade counties. It is about 16 miles northwest of Englewood, on the Santa Fe line. This ranch is about 20 miles long and of varying width. About 20,000 acres of land are included in the deal and the land is surrounded by 68 miles of wire fences. Mariion County's East Horses. Marion county is almost equaling the famous Blue Grass country of Kentucky in its production of fast horses. To the list of now famous horses from Marion county recently should be added several owned by Dr. M. J. Gillman of Florence, that last year made sensational time on the eastern circuit. Mr. Gillman has selected three and entered them for the races at Detroit, Dayton and Lexington next month, where the stakes are for $10,000. The doctor still has 20 left with records under 2:25. Need Many Brick. Warden Haskell, of the state penti- cary, has received a requisition from the State Normal school calling for 1,000,000 brick for the erection of a manual training school at Pittsburgh There have already been 3,000,000 or ordered by the state board of control for improvements and new buildings at Osawatomi and Topeka and for the Solliers' Orphans' home at Atchison. These, with what will be needed for the new road, will tax the state prison plant to the limit of its capa- city, but as the warden plans to keep the supply divided among all of the users each will have enough for limi- mediate use. Celebrated Golden Wedding. Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Weil, of Clearfield, Douglas county, have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Many old settlers were present to help in making the occasion one to be remembered. Both Mr. and Mrs. Well are natives of Germany. In 1859 they came to Kansas. Mr. Weil was a member of the Fifth Kansas cavalry and served three years. Fell 100 Fcet to His Death. By a fall of 100 feet from the top of the standpipe in Mineral, Ernest Gleason, 24 years old, was killed. He had intended to quit the work when this job was completed. The standpipe was almost completed when the accident happened. Sabetha to Have Mutual Phone. A charter has been granted to a number of Sabetha men for a mutual telephone company, and the city council of Sabetha has granted the company a franchise for 15 years. Modes of the Moment SUMMER GOWNS Fashion in this year of grace demands that our hats and our hair shall seem on the closest terms of intimacy—I might, indeed, say of affection. The hat embraces the hair as though passionately attached to it, and the general effect is wonderfully attractive. While on the subject of millinery I must not neglect to speak of the new—and especially charming—idea of mixing white and black laces on hat crowns. At a recent musical reception I saw a beautiful woman wearing a Tuscan cloche which boasted a full crown of ivory point d'esprit inset with motifs of black Maltese lace. These motifs were circular and of extremely delicate design, and the lace crown was mounted on silver tulle. On the left side of the hat there were several branches of vivid scarlet japonica. But now that summer is coming to its full splendor we are giving the large cloche hat a well-deserved rest and are turning our appreciative attention to the close-fitting mushroom. It is, in fact, distinctly an "open-air hat," and it looks best when very simply trimmed with immense choux of Pompadour ribbons at either side, or with quillings which completely hide the crown. It is my impression that the time has come to call "halt" in the affairs of filet laces! I do not, for the moment, deny the effectiveness of these laces, but it seems carrying the matter too far to make nine out of every ten women look as though they had taken down the best curtains from their windows and draped them round their graceful selves! Of course, "Fashion" must always be omnipotent, but even Fashion cannot blind our eyes to the fact that filet lace is really suitable as a trimming for curtains and afternoon tea cloths, and for that purpose only. Nowadays we introduce it on our summer frocks, and undoubtedly it is effective, but we can easily have too much of it, and that is why I suggest that "halt" should be called, otherwise we shall have an epidemic to filet lace at the plaques in close connection with white linen and embroidered muslin. It is a thousand pities that it should be so difficult to accept a new mode in moderation. Everything novel and original is run to death, and this seems inevitable. A most effective costume of the very latest boasts a skirt cut on the cross made of buff and white stripes, a little coat of buff colored cloth displaying facings of white cloth bound with black silk piped with cherry color and white. In front of this from neck to bust appears a double-frilled lawn shirt; that double-frilled lawn shirt, I realize, is immensely popular, so popular, indeed, that you may buy the double frill "all alone by itself" and attach it to any old shirt, when you may confidently rely upon its passing muster as new. The frills are usually made of white lawn, hemstitched; others, too, there are of spotted batiste, and others again of striped muslin. Which reminds me that amongst the new plain white gowns are some made of white muslin with a narrow-coated stripe or check in it, very like those which obtained some 20 years ago. Alas! that I can remember! As to the gowns displayed in our large illustration. The one on the right displays a dress of rose pink voile with trimmings of fillet net, adorned with flowers embroidered in floss silk, fillet net with floss silk embroidery being amongst the extravagant novelties of the moment. Fanciful white net and lace make the vest and under bodice, the outlining bands being of soft pink satin, while the hat is of pink straw covered with flowers of various shades of pink and mauve. Amongst many embroideries worthy of notice are those which show thick gold and silver tinsel combined with floss silk designs interspersed with clous made of iridescent kid. The like mounted on gray or blue net lined with silver tissue is amongst the luxuries of the rich, and may certainly be quoted as an example of what modern handwork can do in alliance with modern prodigality. The other sketch illustrates the popular short-waisted bodice, and this dress is of Shantung silk in chestnut brown with the embroidery in oriental colors, the narrow vest being traced with gold and the yoke and sleeves of fine net. The hat is of brown chip with a single crimson rose concealing the stem of a shaded brown ostrich feather of superior detail. The Shantung silks are really a great success, but they should be sternly avoided in black; many at- Sidalia Gow Robe of Blue Linen, with Embroideries of Clematis Flowers in a Darker Shade of Blue. Robe of Blue Linen, with Embroideries of Clematis Flowers in a Darker Shade of Blue. tempts have been made to induce them to take this somber tone, but they refuse, coming out in white streaks, and often assuming a greenish shade, preeminently unattractive. But in such colors as blue and pink and mauve, Shantung slik is quite delightful. Its most conspicuous rival is silken linen, coarse-fibered and soft, and a beautiful costume I have just finished admiring is made in a bright shade of mauve with a short-walsted bodice of kimono outline, showing a small belt of Bulgarian embroidery in the front of the waist and at the back, while the undersleeves and bodice are of finely spotted net. The hat selected to wear with this, needless to say of the mushroom shape, is made in mauve crinoline bound with mauve velvet, with a great bunch of wild mauve and blue heron's feathers at one side.

From 50 counties in this state for which full returns have been made the egg shipment for the year 1906 was 49,258,031 dozen—a total of 591,096,372 eggs, and these eggs brought $7,388,704.65, or something over $2.10 for each 3,500,000 of Missouri's inhabitants. During 1906 there were shipped from these same counties 54,856,353 pounds of live poultry and 37,975,433 pounds of dressed poultry—a total of 92,781,786 pounds. Three-fourths of these shipments, or 69,623,839 pounds, were Missouri hens, bringing to the counties which shipped them $4,114,226.40 for the live and $4,272,325.05 for the dressed hens, or a total of $8,386,461.45, which with the $7,388,704.65 realized from the eggs, makes a grand total of $15,775,166.10. This justifies substituting the hen for the bears in the state's coat of arms without waiting for the returns from the other 64 counties. Snakes in His Hen House. The snakes driven from Ireland must have gathered near Russellville. A man there who had killed a few reptiles the other day was awakened that night by a commotion in his hen house. He investigated and found a seven-foot blacksnake making himself at home. He laid a hoe handle across the snake's back and told his wife to stand on this till he secured a club to kill the marauder. The wife was game and thought another snake was discovered nearby struck to her hoe handle till the man returned and killed the snakes. The larger snake had swallowed 12 eggs and two chickens. Jasper County to OU Roads. Jasper county is to adopt the oil treatment to further improve its fine road system. A start has been made at Carthage, where a section of street is to be treated to the oil dressing. Work will be commenced at once. In the event of success there, the county road commissioners are planning to try the oil on the country roads. The oil composition is said to be particularly applicable to hard macadam roads of which 110 miles are in that county. He Paid For The Rods A lightning rod company sold a Mexico man a stock of rods and promised to produce an artificial thunder storm to boost their sale for him. They failed to come across with the hand-made storm and the agent lost money on the lightning rods. The firm sued him for their money and he sued them for the thunder storm. The jury rendered a verdict of $74.69 against him and allowed him damages in the sum of one cent for the missing storm. A. Moberly Invention. A Moberly man has patented an ingenious advertising device. An arrangement of mirrors makes the reflected street scene show a throng of people when only a few are passing, and five soldiers appear to be an army maneuvering. The invention is attracting much attention and the inventor believes he will not have to work for a living any more. Hunters' Licenses Are Valid. Attorney General Hadley, through his assistant, Frank Blake, has made a ruling at the request of the state game and fish warden, J. C. Bassford, in which he holds that hunters' licenses issued under the Walmley law prior to the taking effect of the present game and fish law are good until they expire by limitation. Joplin is Boosting Itself. Joplin has just completed selling its second booster addition and the Commercial club now has a working capital of $45,000 with which to secure new factories, etc. About a year ago the club platted 40 acres and within three days had placed $20,000 in the club's funds. With that money the club secured a big wagon factory, a pump factory, a casket factory, and several other enterprises. Finding that the prospects for more money would be imminent an 80-acre tract was next taken and the lots sold at $300 each. It took about a week to sell the lots in this addition so that Joplin is now ready for new enterprises to appear. Offered a Text Book Bribe The members of the Macon county text book commission have, in their report, charged that representatives of one of the big publishing houses tried to bribe them to favor its books. The commission says that the agent for that concern followed them home and aroused them at daylight to discuss their wares and finally made direct offers of remuneration to secure the adoption of their books. Taney County All Taken Up. There is now not an acre of government land in Taney County, the last 9,000 acres having been cash encreed at the land office at Springfield by C. Kramer of Chicago and transferred to a company of St. Louis, who will convert it into sheep ranches. Lives Up to His Name. Justice of the Peace Joyner of Rolla tries to live up to his name.

David Unlapon, a full-blooded native of the norther territory, Australia, who combines a genius for mathematics with a passion for music, claims to have invented a machine which will secure perpetual motion. He is now in Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, seeking the means of testing the feasibility of his mechanism. He explains that the forces which he proposes to use are gravitation and momentum and he had to come to Adelaide to seek the assistance of the aorinines department in procuring four beveled wheels, a spindle, a tube and so on. He is confident that when he gets these requisites he can put together a machine which will bring perpetual motion appreciably nearer. Dr. McCosh's Impression. "Ah, I have an impression!" exclaimed Dr. McCosh, the president of Princeton college, to the mental-philosophy class. "Now, young gentlemen," continued the doctor, as he touched his head with his forefinger, "can you tell me what an impression is?" No answer. "What; no one knows? No one can tell me what an impression is?" exclaimed the doctor, looking up and down the class. "I know," said Mr. Arthur. "An impression is a dent in a soft place." "Young gentleman," said the doctor, removing his hand from his forehead and growing red in the face, "you are excused for the day."-Judge. Naked Truth: Francis Wilson tells of an encounter of wits that took place between the late Eugene Field and a New York woman. It was at dinner, and the woman was in evening dress, which was decollete. After a skirmish between the two relative to the respective merits of a well known author, it would seem that Field came off second best. "O. Mr. Field," exclaimed the woman, exultantly, "you must admit that you are fairly beaten at your own game!" Field bowed politely, and, with a smile, promptly rejoined: "At any rate, Miss Blank, I have one consolation; you can't laugh at me in your sleeve."—Lippincott's Magazine. Perfectly Cooked, Ready to Serve, Delicious and Healthful "The ordinary breakfast cereal cooked a few minutes in a half-hearted way will in time weaken the stomach of anything short of an ox. "Any preparation of wheat or cats put into water that is below the boiling point and cooked as mush is usually served, remains a pasty, indigestible mass. The cells are tough and unopened. In addition, the stomach of a person sensitively constituted refuses to do anything with the pasty mass. It is sent into the second stomach, the Duodenum, where in consequence of the long time of the first process of digestion, is fermented and soured. As an eminent medical man pertinently states, the stomach of half the people going about the streets are about in the condition of an old vinegar barrel. "Intestinal dyspepsia is the direct consequence of such feeding." Knowledge of these facts and a wide experience in the preparation and use of cereals brought out the product known as Grape-Nuts, manufactured with special reference to having the nitrogenous and starchy parts of the grains, of which the food is composed, perfectly and scientifically cooked at the factory, ready for immediate use and therefore not subject to the manipulations of any cook, good or bad. The starch of the grains, changed to grape-sugar, can be seen glistening on the little granules, and gives forth a delicate sweetish taste, very palatable. Children and adults obtain fine results from the use of Grape-Nuts food. It is so perfectly adapted to the wants of the human body and so easily digested that many cases are on record of nursing babes being fed very successfully on it. "There's a Reason."

Should a list of the ingredients of Peruna be submitted to any medical expert, of whatever school or nationality, he would be obliged to admit without reserve that each one of them was of undoubted value in chronic catarrhal diseases, and had stood the test of many years' experience in the treatment of such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHATEVER. Peruna is composed of the most efficacious and universally used herbal remedies for catarrh. Every ingredient of Peruna has a reputation of its own in the cure of some phase of catarrh. Peruna brings to the home the COMBINED KNOWLEDGE OF SEVERAL SCHOOLS OF MEDICINE in the treatment of catarrhal diseases; brings to the home the scientific skill and knowledge of the modern pharmacist; and last but not least, brings to the home the vast and varied experience of Dr. Hartman, in the use of catarrh remedies, and in the treatment of catarrh diseases. The fact is, chronic catarrh is a disease which is very prevalent. Many thousand people know they have chronic catarrh. They have visited doctors over and over again, and been told that their case is one of chronic catarrh. It may be of the nose, throat, lungs, stomach or some other internal organ. There is no doubt as to the nature of the disease. The only trouble is the remedy. This doctor has tried to cure them. That doctor has tried to prescribe for them. BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO BRING ANY RELIEF. Dr. Hartman's idea is that a catarrow remedy can be made on a large scale, as he is making it; that it can be made honestly, of the purest drugs and of the strictest uniformity. His idea is that this remedy can be supplied directly to the people, and no more be charged for it than is necessary for the handling of it. No other household remedy, so universally advertised carries upon the label the principal active constituents, showing that Peruna invites the full inspection of the critics. Painter Poor Paint is Expensive If one is rich enough to repaint his buildings every year for the pleasure of having a change of color scheme, the quality of the paint used may cut little figure. But if it is desirable to cut the painting bills down to the least amount possible per year, it is of the utmost importance that the paint be made of Pure White Lead and the best of Linseed Oil.

At last—at last it is mine! All through the dreary months of winter I saved my money to buy it, denying myself luxuries to acquire it. Gradually the sum mounted till I had the wherewithal to make the treasure mine. My day-dreams were of the way it would make things smooth for me. By night I dreamed of its beauties. Then came the day when I bought it. And when I had bought it a sudden chill fear gripped me. If it was known that I—humble I—possessed such a treasure, everyone would covet it. Men would seek to beguile me of it by specious lies. Others might endeavor to wrest it from me by force. I must be wary with my treasure. I had it conveyed to my home in the dead of night. I locked it in the room assigned for it, the key I kept in my pocket. Often I would gloat over my treasure in secret. And now the days are coming when the whole world will know that I own it. Messages concerning it will come from far and near; neighbors will lean over their walls to make fond enquiries about it. Yes, I expect every one will be wanting to borrow my new lawnmower.

Schnapps Tobacco is Made ENTIRELY from Flue Cured Tobacco Grown in the Piedmont Country. The Imitation Brands Have Schnapps Quality Only On the Outside Of the Plug Hundreds of imitation brands are on sale that look like Schnapps tobacco. The outside of the imitation plugs of tobacco is flue cured the same as Schnapps, but the inside is filled with cheap, flimsy, heavily sweetened air cured tobacco. One chew of Schnapps will satisfy tobacco hunger longer than two chews of such tobacco. The color, size and shape of the tags, plugs and packages of certain imitation brands of tobacco have been made so much like Schnapps that they have often been accepted by buyers under the belief that they were getting Schnapps. Sufficient proof has been secured to establish the fact that certain brands are infringements and in violation of the trade mark laws, yet the trade will continue to be imposed upon by these infringers until the suit We will ship SCHNAPPS direct from factory to retail dealers in lots of 10 lbs. and over, at the established jobbing price of 40c per pound, express or freight prepaid to nearest point to which a published through rate is obtainable from point of shipment; or mail to any address a sample 6c cut of SCHNAPPS and a cambric tobacco pouch, upon receipt of 5c in postage.

Youngster Had Reason to Expect "Something Would Happen." An old gentleman, rather portly and elad in a somewhat youthful suit of light gray flannel, sat on a bench in the park enjoying the day, relates the Woman's Home Companion. "What's the matter, sonny?" he asked a small urchin who lay on the grass just across the walk and stared intently. "Why don't you go and play? "Don't wanter," the boy replied. "But it is not natural," the old gentleman insisted, "for a boy to be so quiet. Why don't you run about?" "Oh, I'm just waitin'," the little fellow answered. "I'm just awaitin' till you get up. A man painted that bench about fifteen minutes ago." TWO SISTERS HAD ECZEMA. Cuticura Cured Scalp Troubles of Two Illinois Girls—Another Sister Took Cuticura Pills.

I was very much troubled with eczema of the head, and a friend of mine told me to use the Cuticura Remedies, which I did, and am glad to say that they cured my eczema entirely. My sister was also cured of eczema of the head by using the Cuticura Remedies. Another sister has used Cuticura Resolvent and Pills and thinks they are a splendid tonic. Miss Edith Hammer, R. F. D.

In his will Stephen Swain of the parish of St. Olave, Southwark, England, gave to John Abbot and Mary, his wife, sixpence each, "to buy for each of them a halter, for fear the sheriffs should not be provided." John Aylett Stow left the sum of five guineas for the purchase of the picture of a viper biting the hand of his rescuer, to be presented to an eminent K.

Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. Diversified Existence An old brick laboratory in Middletown, Conn., which was torn down Saturday, has been put to many uses since its erection in 1825.

USE THE BEST FAULTLESS STARCH FOR LAUNDRY WORK FOR SHIRTS COLLAR'S CUFFS AND FINE LINEN already entered and now pending to protect Schnapps is decided. A great many of these imitations are claimed to be "just as good" as Schnapps, but there is only one genuine Schnapps. Be sure the letters on the tag, and stamped on the plug under the tag spell S-C-H-N-A-P-P-S and then you have it—the most wholesome tobacco produced, with just enough sweetening to preserve the mild, juicy, stimulating quality of the leaf tobacco. Expert tests prove that this flue cured tobacco, grown in the famous Piedmont region, requires and takes less sweetening than any other and has a wholesome, stimulating, satisfying effect on chewers. If the tobacco you are chewing don't satisfy you more than the mere habit of expectorating, stop fooling yourself and chew Schnapps tobacco. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Doflance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Vocal Influence: The burglar heard the voice of a child and paused.

"The Beer that made Milwaukee Jealous" THE WESTON ROYAL BREWING CO., Kansas City and Weston, Mo. Kansas City Office 1912-14 Grand Ave. Deep down beneath the surface of the old, picturesque and beautiful little city of Weston are the cellars of the Weston Royal Brewery.

EXPOSUS 40.34. TIMIL—The work on the abernacle was begun in the seventh month from the Exodus, and completed during the remainder of the year. The tabernacle was dedicated on the first day of the year, on the first of Abb. called also Nisan, B. C. 1490—the latter part of March or early in April.

Comment and Suggestive Thought. The Tabernacle (vs. 1, 2). There are not a few difficulties in the way of obtaining an accurate idea of the form and construction of the tabernacle, from the descriptions given; as usual in all attempts to realize a description. Even the form of so simple a thing as the golden candlestick it was impossible to copy in brass from the description given till the model was found in the triumphal arch of Titus at Rome pictured among the treasures he brought from Jerusalem after its destruction. Spiritual Meaning of the Tabernaile.—At all times there is need of visible expressions and manifestations of the unseen spiritual things to help even the most educated, cultured, and holy men to realize the unseen God and character and life. So through nature we understand God and keep him in mind, as nearly all we know of the sun is revealed to us by the reflection of its rays on material particles in the air. So the institutions of religion are "the shadow of heavenly things" (Heb. 8: 5.) Still more were these institutions necessary in the early education of man. So the great churches and cathedrals of the agen when few could read and write are filled with pictures and carvings of the Bible story. It taught the gradual progress of the soul toward God; step by step we move Gouward and heavenward, each stage more precious as we draw near to him. There is a fourfold teaching of the gradual education. (1) The movement is from the camp to the priests' square, then to the court of the tabernacle, to the holy place, to the holy of Holles. (2) The progression is from the bronze of the outer court, to the silver of the tent, to the gold of its candlestick and altar. (3) From the linen curtains of the outer court to the embroidery of its portieres, to the tapestry of the curtains of the tent. (4) From the symbolism of the furniture of the court and of the tent, as described below. The Ark of the Testimony or witness, containing the tables of the law, the covenant between God and man, and the witness to the obedience of man. The ark was a chest of shitim wood, overlaid with gold within and without, three feet nine inches long, two feet three inches broad and deep. Over it was the mercy seat of gold, upon which were the cherubim, perhaps "a symbolical representation of the redeemed." This was the central object of the tabernacle, the place of God's presence, reached only by a heart that loves and obeys God's law, and through his loving mercy in for giving and cleansing. The altar symbolized the need of sacrifice for sin, for some atoning power. The Laver (v. 7). symbolized the necessity of moral cleansing before one can enter the Holy Place. "Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow." The Candlestick (v. 4.) symbolized the true, sanctified people of God, letting their light shine, themselves fed by the spirit of God, the source of all light. The Table of Shewbread (v. 4). Opposite, on the north side, to the right, as one faced the Holy of Holies, was a goldplated table on which were placed the twelve leaves of bread in two golden dishes. It was three feet long, 18 inches broad, and 27 inches high. God's Visible Presence (vs. 34, 38). The shining cloud came to show that God was with them, a consuming fire to the wrong-doer, but Glory and Guide, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend. The Golden Altar of Incense (v. 6) stood just before the entrance to the Holy of Holies. It was 18 inches square and three feet high. The fragrance of incense, its preciousness, and its beautiful clouds rising to heaven make it a suitable symbol for prayer and thanksgiving, the means of communion with God. After the experiences typified by these objects, one can meet God in the Holy of Holies and live according to the laws of his covenant, as near to heaven as it is possible to be on earth The Table of Shewbread.—The bread typified that we need our daily spiritual bread in order to grow good and to be fitted for God's service as much as we need daily bread for our bodies. The healthy soul is full of hungers and thirsts, and every one of them needs the food that satisfies them. The soul that does not hunger is sickly, as is the body without appetite. Jesus Christ satisfies all these hungers. The Priestly Service (vs. 12, 13).—Even the priests must be cleansed and anointed with oil as set apart for God's special service. STORY OF SPEAKER'S MACE. Origin of Emblem of Legislative Authority Used in Congress. At the right of the speaker's desk in the hall of the house of representatives in the capitol at Washington stands a large cylindrical pedestal made of highly polished green marble. When the house is called to order each day the sergeant-at-arms, or one of his deputies, places upon the pedestal the mace, which is the symbol of authority in the house. When the body adjourns he removes it and keeps it safely until the house meets again. This mace is of very ancient and honorable origin. Under the old Roman republic the magistrates passed on foot from one place to another administering justice, trying public offenders and imposing penalties. Each of these magistrates was attended by a small body of men known as lictors, whose duty it was to make way for the officers of the law, preserve order, make arrests and inflict punishment on condemned citizens. Each of these lictors carried with him a bunch of rods tied together with thongs and having an ax bound to the outside of it. The thongs were used for scourging and the ax for beheading. Sentences imposed by the magistrates were at once carried out. Those bundles of rods were known as fasces. When the Romans conquered Britain the use of the fasces as a a symbol was brought with them and many other Roman customs remained with the British people. While it was no longer used for inflieting punishment, it continued to be used as a symbol by the early English magistrates, and when an officer appeared carrying the fasces his authority was immediately accepted by all. It was, in fact, his badge of office. The English form of the fasces was slightly changed in that the ax was placed inside of the bundle of rods with the blade protruding from the top. The great councils of the early Saxons gradually developed into one general body, which in the fourteenth century became known as the house of commons. In all these earlier councils the use of the fasces was continued, but it then came to be known as the mace, which has remained as the emblem of legislative authority in that body down to the present day. The house of representatives of the United States was modeled closely after the house of commons by the framers of our constitution, and the issage of the mace was borrowed from the English custom. The first mace adopted by the house was destroyed by fire when the British burned the capital in 1814. From 1814 until 1842 a mace of painted wood did service, but in the latter year the present mace was made after the model of the original one—St. Nicholas. At a Diplomatic Luncheon. At a Diplomatic Luncheon. "Really, I felt horribly overdressed and apologetic," the attractive young wife of a faraway senator laughed the other day, in describing a Babel uncheon at Washington in honor of Mrs. Creel, at which she herself had been present. "My costume was so infinitely more costly than that of the guest of honor." The pretty senatress wore a $500 lace robe. The richest woman in the world appeared in a simple little tan-colored veiling that would have been no particular bargain at $35 all told. Nor were the senator's fabulous jewels the least in evidence. A miscellaneous assortment of diplomatic dames surrounded the multi-nillionaire Mexican, each struggling in her own pretty tongue to be understood by her neighbor. Those unequal to French or Spanish at meat, mum chance—extra dry. There was the latest diplomatic bride, Mme. Corea, wife of the liquid-eyed little minister from Nicaragua—he of romantic past. India Corea, however, in spite of her double-barreled geographical name, is a domestic and not imported beauty, a Washington debutante. There were the ladies of several South American countries and several European specimens. The courageous hostess who spoke naught but her native Pennsylvaniaese, reduced her remarks to her foreign guests to the most elemental principles, enunciating each word with kindergarten simplicity, touching only on the obvious. Washington's Small Subway. "Washington will soon have one of the smallest subways n the world," said F. G. Wilson of the Capital city. This underground railroad will be less than a third of a mile long and will connect the capitol building with the house of representatives office building. It will contain a narrow gage electric line and also two wide sidewalks. The reason this tunnel is being built is the difficulty encountered by members of the house going between the two points. It is necessary to cross a wide street in the Capitol park, and this is always filled with fast moving automobiles as well as carriages and other vehicles. It sometimes takes the lawmakers 15 minutes to get from their office to the capitol. The new railroad will be in operation by December 1." New Monument for Capital Belgium's eminent sculptor, Lef Lambauxe, who is regarded by many as Rodin's only rival, is busy on the monument to be erected in Washington to the memory of the late George M. Pullman, the former head of the Pullman Car company. Interesting Bits of News Picked Up Here and There at the National Capital YOUNG BARONESS ROSEN MOST CAREFULLY REARED WASHINGTON.—The Russian embassy closed the season here when Ambassador and Baroness Rosen, with their household staff, left for Magnolia, Mass., the other day where they will pass the summer. The departure of Baron and Baroness Rosen has a particular significance at this time, as they do not expect to return to Washington for perhaps a year, and will sail for Europe on a prolonged leave of absence in October. They purpose passing the winter in St. Petersburg that their only daughter, Baroness Elizabeth Rosen, may make her debut in that capital. This young woman, who is just 17 years of age, will be presented at court early in the winter under particularly brilliant auspices. The young baroness is a petite blonde. She is perhaps the most carefully reared girl of her age in America, as her education has been conducted along exactly the same lines as though she had never left her native land. Five hours each day have been devoted to hard study, exclusive of the time devoted to music and art. The various modern languages being considered the necessary equip- A NEW departure in postal cards has been decided upon by the post office department. Beginning August 1 the consumer will get more for his penny than heretofore. The front side, for years reserved by an inexorable rule for the address, will be invaded by advertisements, pictures and messages. Postmaster General Meyer has promulgated an order to this effect. A vertical line will be placed about one-third of the distance from the left end of the card. The space to the right of this line will be reserved for the address, and the remaining portion of the front side may be devoted to details of how all the children are, or any other of the things that heretofore have been confined to the back side. For years people have been sending to the United States from foreign countries postal cards and post cards with messages written on the front as well as on the back of the cards, although in this country this advantage NEW BUREAU TO HANDLE MATTER OF FAR EAST WITH the view of placing all diplomatic and consular matters relating to Japan and China in the hands of officials familiar with conditions in the orient, the state department has perfected the organization of the "Far Eastern Bureau," which will have charge of all correspondence and preliminary treaty negotiations with the oriental governments. This new departure is more or less in the nature of an experiment, which, if it proves satisfactory, may lead to the organization of similar bureaues to conduct diplomatic and consular correspondence and negotiations with the Central and South American republics, European and Asiatic countries. Huntington Wilson, third assistant secretary of state, who, for a number of years served as secretary to the American legation and embassy at Tokio, is in charge of the new bureau. His two assistants are Percival Heintzleman of Pennsylvania, formerly student interpreter attached to TO THE CAT HOUSE MOUSE MENAGERIE WHO CATNIP GARDENS A LARGE number of prominent society women here have banded together to provide a suitable and attractive home for cats. It is intended to purchase a tract of land and build a handsome home if possible—if not, a house fitted for the purpose will be bought—to be fitted up as a boarding house for handsome and expensive cats belonging to persons who regularly leave the city and must take their pets along. Among those prominent in promoting the scheme are Mme. Eleanore de Remusat Guys, Miss Mary A. Peet, Miss Mathile Townsend, Mrs. Larz Anderson, Mrs. A. L. Barber, Miss Mary Robinson, Mrs. Austin, Mrs. Krouse, Mrs. Solberg, Mrs. Henry L ment of a young girl of her rank, are not regarded as accomplishments, although the literature of three or four languages is a part of Baroness Elizabeth's recreation. She has taken no part in juvenile society, wherein she would be warmly welcomed by Miss Ethel Roosevelt, Miss Helen Taft, Miss Bacon and other young people of the administration families, and has made no friends of her own age in the two years' residence in America. Her constant companions are her mother, her governess and an American friend some ten years her senior, who was originally retained as a social secretary. At Magnolia, where the schoolroom regime is slightly relaxed, Baroness Elizabeth joins her parents and members of the staff at the midday breakfast, always a feature of the embassy life, but never joins her parents' dinner. Her English is particularly pure and pleasing, with what no doubt will be described in Europe as an American accent. French is the language of her home, and in that tongue her accent is distinctly Parisian. She also speaks Italian and German fluently. MESSAGES ON EACH SIDE OF NEW POSTAL CARDS has been denied the users of government postal cards. Some months ago the United States postal laws and regulations were amended so as to give that privilege to buyers of post cards, but such concession was not made applicable to postal cards. Today's ruling will remedy this inconsistency and so prevent further confusion. A very thin sheet of paper may be attached, if it completely adheres to the card and such a passer may be both writing and printing. Heretofore two cents in postage was required if this was done. Advertisements, illustrations or writing may appear on the back of the card and or the left third of the front. Postal cards bearing particles of glass, metal, mica, sand, tinsel, or other such substances are declared to be unmailable, except when inclosed in envelopes or when treated in such a manner as will prevent the objectionable materials from being rubbed off or injuring the hands of persons handling the mails. the American legation at Peking and later vice and deputy consul general at Canton and Dalny, and William Phillips of Massachusetts, formerly private secretary to Ambassador Choate at London and for the last two years second secretary of the American legation at Peking. All of these young diplomats speak and read the oriental languages, are familiar with the domestic politics of the far eastern nations and well versed in questions of diplomacy now pending between the United States and the oriental countries. The preliminary negotiations between this country and Japan in drafting a new treaty probably will be referred to the Far Eastern Bureau. Another important duty which will devolve upon the newly-organized bureau will be to consider the numerous petitions and diplomatic "notes" which are annually presented to the state department suggesting changes in the existing treaty between the United States and China. TO BUILD SUMMER HOME FOR ARISTOCRATIC CATS West, the last named being president of the Cat club. The wife of Justice Harlan, who owns three handsome Maltese cats worth $1,000 each, is also greatly interested. Miss Robinson says she was compelled to stay at home all last summer because she had no place at which to board her six cats, all short-haired, to which she is greatly attached. The previous summer she put them out to board while she passed six months in California, but the one place available at that time has since been closed. Many of the other women interested have carried their pets on long trips rather than leave them behind to be neglected. Cauliflower, $900 an Acre Dr. Chas. F.

BOOKER'S Successful Administration AS PASTOR OF THE PLEASANT GREEN BAPTIST CHURCH, WILL DEDICATE NEW FOUNDATION IN A FEW WEEKS, AND LATER TO COMPLETE NEW CHURCH WORTH $25,000. The Pleasant Green Baptist Church of this city is an organization about 50 years old. The first pastor of this church was Rev. John Morgan, of Kentugu. He was an abbot defender of the Gospel and of strong moral character. He succeeded in buying the propopyt 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. Alford, 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, Tenn., 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 ordained, 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 $10,000. 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. MISS ANNA H. WARNER AS ONE OF THE GIRLS ACCOMPLISHING SOMETHING. This paper wishes to call the public attention to Anna H. Warner who has done a few things of which she may feel justly proud. Miss Warner was born in Troy Illinois and educated in the schools of that place. She then attended the musical institution of St. Louis. Coming to Kansas City at an appreciative age, she studied with Prof. Lee learning his entire course. Going to Fisk University she made a splendid record entering the 5th grade of music from the start being the second girl to get so high a rating. She finished her technic and harmony, and she almost finished the recital course but had to quit school for unavoidable circumstances. Miss Warner has a natural ability for music. Believing she might help the younger class of girls and also more unfortunate who have not had an opportunity to learn music, Miss Warner opened up a studio at 18th and Paseo, where she is prepared to give the public the benefit of her training. Miss Warner uses the unique methods of Herman Bach and Leschetzky, which are quite different from the other teachers. During the two years at home she has still continued to study. Those desiring to give their children musical instruction should certainly see her and read her announcement placard in the advertising part of the paper. One of her peculiar ways of teaching is to arouse the interest of pupils by giving them also the literary side of the music as well as the technical and harmonious. Miss Warner has a very well equipped and up-to-date musical studio. She is trying to open up opportunities for the younger generation. All the latest musical books can be seen; various modern musical instruments. All the best authorities on the criticisms and points on music. Miss Warner also takes a natural fancy to the instruction of girls, imparting to them her own personality which is of a very strong and high nature. The public at large should appreciate and encourage such strong determination on the part of our Kansas City girls who are branching out in noble occupations, and should es pecially give Miss Warner's studio a visit. THE ONLY REMEDY FOR JIM GROWN AND LAWY LAWS CROWISM AND LYNCH LAWS. 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 dwell 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 sojourneth among you—Exodus 12—49. Thou 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 crying unto him—Exodus 22: 10 to 24. 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 attainments, 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 lessons of economy, thrift 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 allike) 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 11-3 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. BLIND BOONE CONCERT CO. Five Successful Years for Kansas City's Prima Donna, Miss Emma Smith The people are very much pleased to learn of the return of the Blind Boone Concert Co. They are especially glad to know of the success of Miss Emma Smith, one of Kansas City's home products. The company has had a long concert tour traveling through the states of Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Wyoming, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri; always playing to a full audience. Miss Emma Smith, a graduate of Kansas City, has certainly made good in the line in which she chose for her life's work. She has traveled with the company for five successful years, and each year she has become stronger with the public at large. Miss Smith is a natural singer, having had a good voice all her life. When in school, she was easily classed as the best singer in school. The young lady has simply shown what the young girls in the city can do; she has by her success lent encouragement to other girls. The public possibly wishes to know what the young lady has done with her earnings from such a good position which she has. If they go to 915 Woodland there they will see a beautiful six room house of which Miss Smith is owner. Miss Smith is a decided home girl always looking for something which will please her parents. This is the main desire the true ivbgkqj you desire the true insight into an individual, follow them to their home. If you follow her to the hearth side you will find her a loving and affectionate daughter, beloved by all her relatives. Kansas City should be greatly proud of the record she has made. Miss Smith is an honor to Kansas City; and every person should appreciate her musical ability of which she posses in a very high degree. JOHN LANG. Mr. John Lang, the manager of the Blind Boone Concert Co., has had 26 years with the company. Just last year he contributed over $300 to charity and he is ever ready to assist a young man on his way to the successful road. As the public would, we know, like to read of a few accomplishments of this remarkable man at some later edition we shall endeavor to give it. The company will leave in September.

The second Baptist church will give a concert August 1 called a trip around the world. They are raising money for the church. A large crowd is expected. 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. The League banquet, to be served by on of the leading caterers of the state, will also be held in the Auditorium. 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. 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. NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE NOTES he National Negro Business League will meet Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 14, 15 and 16, in the Hall of the House of Representatives, State Capitol Building, Topeka, Kansas. Governor E. W. Hoch will welcome the delegates. Detailed information as to accommodations at Topeka can be secured from Mr. Ira O. Guy, Ways and Means Committee, 311 West 14th Street, Topeka, Kansas. The social features, aside from the very strong program which has been arranged, include an outing at Garfield Park on Thursday, a banquet at the Auditorium on Friday evening, and a final picnic at "Vinewood" the aristocratic pleasure resort, six miles from the city on Saturday, August 17th. The Southeastern Passenger Association, the Western Passenger Association, and the Southwest Excursion Bureau have joined in extending rates of one and one-third fare on the certificate plan to delegates who plan to attend the Eighth Annual Session of the League. Plans are being formulated in various sections of the country whereby you will have provided for them special Pullman and Chair Car accommodations. In this way, comfort and privacy will be afforded. The Topeka Negro Business League has arranged for an excursion rate to Colorado points, so that persons wishing to do so may deposit their tickets and after the Legue sessions proceed to such points. aMmy delegates have expressed the desire to see the rich new country beyond the Mississippi river—the Oklahoma and Indian Territory section—and similar arrangements will be made for them. This session of the League offers an admirable opportunity for a visit to the West at comparatively small cost The League is one of the most helpful organizations that the Afro-American people have. It has accomplished a great and good work. It was never stronger than it is today. By its teaching and the annual gathering of its members has inspired more business enterprise of all sorts than any other influence in the life of the people. The annual meetings are necessary. They bring the business people together and give them an opportunity to match experiences and to feel the strength which inheres in association. And there is a social side to these meetings which is helpful and inspiring. The way to learn what sort of men and women are laying the commercial foundations upon which the children may amass large wealth is to visit the annual meetings of the Business League.
