BACK IN THE FOLD VOLUME XII. Bolting Negro Pythians Return to Mother Lodge. So Announced the Supreme Chancellor Yesterday. Booker T. Washington Addressed the Delegates Friday. Louisville, Ky., Sept. 4.—(Special.)—At Liederkranz Hall yesterday morning the fifteenth biennial session of the supreme lodge of the Colored Knights of Pythias, the largest and strongest organization in the world, came to order when Supreme Chancellor Starke for the fifth time struck his gabel. There sat before him representatives from not only 27 grand lodges of the jurisdiction, but those colored men who in their several communities have stood the test, and come to be leaders of their people and examples of business integrity. Unlike most colored institutions, the Knights of Pythias is a business institution. The Supreme Prelate, C. D. White, invoked the divine blessings, and the real machinery of the organization which directs the uniform ranks, which has attracted much favorable attention since beginning its sessions. ast Sunday, had begun to move The morning session occupied only a few minutes. Supreite Chancellor Starks announced his committee on credentials, consisting of J. C. Duke, of Arkansas, chairman; H. C. Wallace of Mississippi, Dr. E. E. Underwood of Kentucky, J. J. Woodson of Ohio and Dr. George N. Stoney of Georgia. **Secessionists Back in Fold.** The Supreme Chancellor, amid tremendous applause of the members, announced that a faction of the Colored Pythians, known as the Eastern and Western Hemisphere, had withdrawn from that organization to return to the mother lodge, and that the representatives of the only grand lodge in that particular jurisdiction had come to Louisville to be re-obligated and to their places in the original institution, Colored Pythianism. This is considered the beginning of COLQRADO NOTES. Colorado Springs, Colo., Sept. 1. Mrs. D. A. Doyle, of 1621 East Thirteenth street, Kansas City, Mo., was accompanied to Pike's Peak by the following party: Mrs. Juanita Lee of Ponca City, Okla.; Mrs. Chas. Crownell of Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. Lovely Caurath and Miss Mattie Helms of Denver, Colo.; Miss Ida Clarke of Wichita, Kas.; Mr. James Bolders of Denver, Colo.; Mr. James and Albert Crawford of Manitou, Colo. The party started Saturday evening, Aug. 31, at 7:30 p. m., and reached the summit at 4:30 a. m. Sunday morning, in time to see the beautiful sunrise. After their long journey they enjoyed the lovely scenery on the Peak. They reached home at 2 p. m. Sunday, feeling as well as if one had traveled on level ground. Mrs. Crownell started for Kansas City on the 6:30 train. Mr. Henry Collins has returned from a rather pleasant trip to Denver, Colo. Rev. r. K. White, D. D., of Texas, will begin his preaching at the Pilgrim Baptist church Monday night. A JOKE ON THE EDITOR. The other evening the editor of The Son appeared at McCampbell's drug store, and just as he entered the door he was kidnapped or taken charge of by a number of ladies whose names must have been entered in the beauty contest. He was court-martialled and brought before the judge and jurors, consisting of women. Mrs. Frankie Givens was the judge, and the following ladies were the jurors: Misses Bessie Patterson, Lottie Whittington, Sadie McWaters, Nellie Snod, and Mesdames Nellie Davies and Myrtle Willoughby. The jury found him guilty, and a fine of ice cream Sundae was the penalty for insurorbid tie union of all colored Pythians throughout the world, and no part of Supreme Chancellor Starks' report will call more for the gratitude of his hundred thousand fellows than that dealing with the dissolution of that wing of the union which seceded 20 years ago. The uniting of all colored Pythians is due wholly to Supreme Chancellor Starks, who said when he took hold of the reins of government ten years ago that he dedicated himself to this end. One of the pleasant hours of the encampment at Camp Corbin, 28th street and Broadway, was that spent yesterday when the Major General of the Uniform Ranks of the now dead Eastern and Western Hemisphere was received with honors into the headquarters of Maj. Gen. Jackson, in command of the encampment. The afternoon session of the supreme lodge was taken up with the report of the committee on credentials and the conferring of the rank of grand chancellor on over forty candidates, Supreme Chancellor Starks personally conferring the rank. The committee reported no contests, and also that the grand lodge of each state presented the full quota of representatives. This morning will come the reading of the Supreme Chancellor's report, which is always the big feature of the several sessions. Then begins the routine work of the lodge, and this will go on until Friday afternoon. At 5 o'clock this afternoon, at Camp Corbin, the "Escort to the Flag" will occupy the attention of the uniformed rank. Henry Watterson and Col. W. B. Haldeman have been invited to participate in the ceremonies. Among the more prominent colored people attending the lodge are: J. M. Hazelwood, West Virginia; John W. Strauther, H. C. Wallace, John W. Harris and the famous colored lawyer, Mollison all of Mississippi; Dr. C. M. Wade, J. C. Duke and J. J. T. Warren, of Arkansas; the Rev. Dr. E. B. Topp, Roscoe Conkling Simmons, New York journalist and orator, and A. W. Loyds, of Missouri; Wm. James, Kansas City; Nelson C. Crews, James Maynard and Mrs. W. C. Combs. Chicago alone has 100 delegates and visitors. nation of orders in regard to not addressing them instantly on entering the drug store. At this juncture Dr. J. N. Birch, as the attorney, entered upon making his splendid plea for the editor, and for such he was fined by the judge for contempt of court, and he in turn was made the burden bearer, paying the entire cost and fines. As an explanation to the public: There seem to be a rumor about town as to who helped the editor of this paperin his past difficulties. First, we wish to state that it was W. H. Seegur vice president of the Union National Bank, that went Mr. Washington's bond. No Negro did this. Second, we have a fair knowledge of all our friends. BEAUTY CONTEST.

The Brinkley baseball team, a white organization, demonstrated their superiority over the Jenkins ball team in a one-sided game Sept. 8. All the Jenkins' pitchers were knocked out of the box, Roy Dorsey, Monk Combs, Hardy Watts and Tom McCampbell coming in way late, and shutting the Brinkleys out and keeping the score from being 20 to a very small number. The team needs reorganizing in order to play better ball. Everybody in the team played bad ball Sunday. Brace up and drink water and eat corn bread. J. T. Harris, Sporting Editor. BENEFIT CONCERT BY WOMEN'S LEAGUE. A number of the young ladies who are contending in the Beauty Contest, to determine who is the most beautiful lady in Kansas City, have decided to have their first encounter at the Vine Street Theater, where they are going to give a benefit concert for the Women's League. The special feature of the concert will be the raffling off of the young ladies to the highest bidder, a penny representing a dollar, and no lady to be sold for less than five dollars. Everybody should patronize the entertainment, because it is for the benefit of the Women's League.

Miss Mabel Vaughan was recently appointed secretary and bookkeeper of The Rising Son Publishing Co. She is very well fitted for the position. She is the daughter of Rev. Vaughan of Quindaro, Kan. Miss Vaughan has finished these courses at Western University and brings to the office ability and accomplishment. She received her earlier education in the mixed schools of Kansas, and attended other schools besides. Miss Vaughan has assumed charge of a very responsible position, which will tax all of the literary and English ability, of which she has quite a knowledge. Miss Vaughan was Booker T. Washington's special stenographer at the Negro Business League, which met at Topeka, Kan. It was there The Son found its valuable asset. The office is open to the public, and anyone having typewriting or any form of letter writing or stenographic work in general can come around to the office and see her. The terms are reasonable, and the work is satisfactory. The young lady should be encouraged in work as a bookkeeper and stenographer. THE GREAT BARNUM & BAILEY SHOW WILL BE HERE. Barnum & Bailey's, the greatest show on earth, will be here Monday, Sept. 23, 1907. Everything will be entirely new. Don't miss this rare chance to see some of the greatest wonders on the face of the globe. It is worth your money any time to see all of the various animals and the different performers. This show is really instructive for people to attend. Y. M. C. A. NOTES Y. M. C. A. Bell phone 817 East. A committee, with Dr. J. E. Perry as chairman, is to add 100 new members to the Y. M. C. A. in the next ten days. It is a big job, but with such men as compose the committee it can be done. The Sunday afternoon meetings, which are lively and full of interest, are being well attended. Last Sunday, Sept. 8, Mr. Jno Lange, manager of the "Bild Boone" NUMBER 2 Concert Co., gave some reminiscences of his early life, which were listened to by an appreciative audience. Next Sunday Mr. Boone will give the association a talk. The board of education has granted the Y. M. C. A. the use of the Lincoln high school auditorium for special meetings. The first Bible class for this year was organized Tuesday evening. The leading Negro papers of the country are to be found on the association reading table. KANSAS CITY, KAN, NEWS. The amount raised at the First Baptist church rally, Sept. 9, was $3. The contestants for the prizes, a watch and ring, were Miss Effie C. Gant, Pearl Welton and Willa Fleming. Miss Myrtelle Brown is rapidly recovering. Miss Estella Tribune is en route to Kentucky. Mrs. Adah B. Mason of St. Joseph, Mo., is visiting friends of this city. Cards are out announcing the marriages of Miss Marletta Minor to Mr. Thomas Dixon, and Miss Mabel Montgomery to Mr. James Clayborne. Mrs. Ida Mosley has returned from a visit to Muskogee, I. T. Miss Nellie Williams has gone to igfisher, Okla., to teach school. Miss Mabel Madison left for Belon, Mo., Sunday, to teach school. Kansas City (Kan.) Correspondent. THE PREACHERS' GOLD-HEADED CANE CONTEST IS ENDED. Allen Chapel Went Down to Defeat in a Spirited Effort. The Blind Boone Concert Company gave a splendid affair Friday, September 6. The principal feature was as to which minister would get the gold-headed cane. The ladies of Allen Chapel, though some them worked very faithful, yet the others let their pastor go down in defeat. It is the first time the Baptist Church has ever beat the Methodist in anything. Rev. Bacote's members sold $300 worth of tickets, samples of which you see below, and Rev. Peck's members sold $262 worth. British Soldiers' Heavy Helmet. British Soldiers' Heavy Helmet. The British soldier wears the heaviest helmet in the world, for his headgear weighs no less than 18 ounces, while that of the Prussian infantryman is only a trifle over 14 ounces and that of the Italian just under 12 ounces. The forage caps of both France and Russia weigh less than eight ounces, while that of Japan is the lightest of all, as it turns the scale at a little over four ounces.

Silliman of Cohoes. N. Y., with the purpose of creating in the Philippines a body of Christian men trained for the practical walks of life. PETER H. From the door of the college building the islands of Cebu, Bohol Siquijor and Mindanao are H. P. SILLIMAN. clearly in view, and others lie just over the horizon. It was for this reason, and to keep the school away from the dangers of city life, that the town of Dumaguete on the island of Negros was chosen with its background of high mountains, and the Pacific only a stone's throw from the school door. It is in the center of the Visayan tribe of over 3,000,000 and within easy reach of them all. The site seems not to have been chosen amiss, for the people have taken the work of the school seriously from the start and have supported it loyally. The school, which is under the care of the foreign board of the Presbyterian church, was opened formally with 13 pupils, and in the five years of its existence has grown to 260. It would have been 300 if it had not been crowded to overflowing during the present year. These students come from all the larger islands of the archipelago, and are boys of enthusiasm and ability, for the most part from the Roman Catholic church, and yet too anxious for an education to allow this to stand in the way. It is the oldest of the Protestant Christian schools in the islands and the only one where rich and poor are brought together on terms of perfect equality, and given either a classical course or an industrial training. It is a burning truth in the islands that knowledge is power; a boy goes home from the school here and can be a leader—a power almost from the start. In America it means a little envious concession, but here it means power — leadership. An educated, strong man, today, will move a whole community. The old Spanish system of education is as far out of date as a 40-year-old atlas. The new ideas of education, freedom and religion possess the heart and thought of the Filipino, says Dr. S. Hubbard in Record of Christian Work, and cannot be repressed. It is for the guidance of these that Silliman Institute stands—against superstition, injustice, slavery and ignorance. A careful study of the Bible as a text book is required of every student. GLEANINGS. Dr. C. Cuthbert Hall, president of Union seminary, New York, has returned to America, after delivering his second course of Barrow lectures in India. In different centers he found many who had heard his previous discourses, and his reception generally was most cordial. Rev. G. Campbell Morgan, D. D., has been engaged by the Bible Teachers Training college of New York to give a special series of 14 lectures beginning Wednesday, March 18, 1988. Like the special series of lectures given this year by Dr. James Orr, they will be open to the public. Rev. Robert Stuart McArthur, D. D., has completed his thirty-seventh year as pastor of Calvary Baptist church, New York. An interesting point in his career is that three hours after his graduation at Rochester Theological seminary he was on his way to New York to enter upon his duties as pastor of Calvary church. The degree of doctor of medicine has conferred upon Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, C.W. G., by the University of Oxford, causa honoris, in recognition of the splendid work he has achieved in improving the social condition of Labrador fisherfolk. The honor bestowed upon him by his old university is all the more marked by reason of its being the first honorary M.D. degree conferred at Oxford. Education of Chinese Women Three scholarships for Chinese girls have been offered at Wellesley college, and the empress of China will select the girls. The Chinese government is now establishing schools for girls, but they are far from satisfactory in character. There are in Tienfain five girls' schools under government supervision with about 250 women and girls in attendance. So great is the need of women teachers that the viceroy of one of the provinces is about to open a woman's normal school. Many Firsts. Williams college, situated at Wil- lamstown, Maes., was the first col- lege to send out missionaries, the first to send out a scientific expedition, the first to issue a catalogue, the first to establish an astronomical observatory, the first to form an alumni association and the first to give its alumni a voice in its management, by the election of representatives upon the board of grustcee JUST A GENTLE HINT. One Remedy Appearances Indicated Nobleman Had Never Tried. The earl of Surrey, afterward eleventh duke of Norfolk, who was a notorious gourmand and hard drinker and a leading member of the Beefsteak club, was so far from cleanly in his person that his servants used to avail themselves of his fits of drunkenness—which were pretty frequent, by the way—for the purpose of washing him. On these occasions they stripped him as they would a corps and performed the needful ablutions. He was equally notorious for his horror of clean linen. One day, on his complaining to Dudley North at his club that he had become a perfect martyr to rheumatism and tried every possible remedy without success, the latter wittily replied: "Pray, my lord, did you ever try a clean shirt?" A Great Surgeon Barred from Membership in Medical Association. (From the National Druggist for June, 1971) Dr. Augustus Charles Bernays, who died a few days ago in St. Louis, was, probably, the foremost surgeon in the United States. His fame was coextensive with the civilized world. He was not only an operator of the highest order, but a tireless and exhaustive worker in the field of original surgery. He performed the first successful Caesarian section in 1889 in St. Louis, and also the first successful coeliotomy for gunshot wound of the abdomen and the first gallistone operation in Missouri. A record held by Dr. Bernays has never been equaled: Out of eighty-one successive cases of appendicitis which necessitated operations, seventy-one in succession were with perfectly satisfactory results, the seventy-second patient falling of recovery, but the subsequent nine cases were successfully treated. And yet, with such a record, matchless as was his skill, varied and extensive as was his learning, wonderful as were his accomplishments, he was not considered, by the American Medical Association, as worthy of membership in that organization. No charges were ever brought against him which, in the remotest degree, reflected on his qualifications as a surgeon; his moral character was never the subject of attack; he was never accused of having done anything unbecoming a man or a gentleman. "The head and front of his offending had this extent—no more!" He dared to think! He refused to mold his opinions and to govern his actions by the arbitrary rules which those whom he knew to be inferiorors had set up for his guidance! In other words, he could not regard the Code of Ethics of the American Medical Association as being inspired, or having any binding authority on him where his judgment told him it was wrong. And so, twenty years ago or more, on account of some trivial infraction of this sacred "Code," a movement was started to expel him from the local association, which was only defecated by his hastily sending in his resignation. As membership in the A. M. A. is dependent upon membership in the local and State societies, his name was dropped by the national organization. And so, though he had saved thousands of lives; though other physicians had profited by his art; this brilliant surgeon; this great and able man, has, during all these years, been an outcast—a medical "scab;" not recognized as "ethical" or worthy of fellowship by that body of physicians banded together in the American Medical Association! And this is the association which, under pretense of working for the public good, is, in reality, only seeking to control Congress and the State Legislatures in the interest of their own selfish schemes; which is trying to create a Cabinet position and to place one of its members in that position; which is endeavoring by law to exclude from the use of the mails, all manufacturers of medicines who do not comply with the absurd requirements that they choose to set up; which, in short, is trying to put upon the statute books of State and nation laws that will, in effect, establish a kind of medical priesthood, to which only their own members will be eligible with power and control over the health and lives of the people! God help the druggists, the drug manufacturers, physicians not members of their guild, and the people generally, if this association ever succeeds in its undertaking. If it does, it will, after the fashion of the labor unions, dictate a "closed shop," and say to doctors who prefer to be independent, "You must join our union or, failing to do so, compel them to get out of the business. It will say what medicines shall be taken, and how they shall be made. It will hedge the people about with a lot of petty regulations under pretense of protecting the public health. In fine, a medical bureaucracy will be established to tyrannize over the people. Let no man call this a false alarm. If there are those who are inclined to do so, let them read the journal of the A. M. A. Let them scan the proceedings of the association, held always behind closed doors, and carefully edited, as they are, before they are published in its official organ. If they will do this they will see that we are not trying to create a bugaboo to frighten their timid souls. Sends Emigrants to Canada. The Salvation Army in England is sending emigrants to Canada in batches of 600 monthly. HATS AND FROCKS A CHARMING GOWN HAT OF CREAM JTRAW One of the sign-posts on the autumn road points unmistakably to millinery made of tightly-stretched silk—and satin—broadly hemmed and trimmed at one side with a drooping feather of the ostrich or paradise persuasion. The shape of these shows a mushroom tendency, but bears a higher crown than the mushroom of yester year; and as a half-season fancy which shall fill the gap between straw and fur, I welcome it most cordially. And another attractive idea, which serves a like purpose, is the hat made of cretonne ribbon—a novel manufacture; soft of texture and patterned in subdued and delicate colors, this is to be found bordered or plainly edged with silk, and can be contrived into bows, which cover most elegantly any small closely-fitting shape. The best example I have seen was mounted on grey satin-straw bound with grey glace, and the cretonne ribbon was shown with a floral design in grey and mauve. All the newest and most attractive cloche hats show the high "flower-pot" crowns, and they are almost invariably lined with satin taffetas or fine linen, the latter for hats of the purely "early morning" order. Notwithstanding the charms—and they are many—of the big cloche covered with delicate flowers there is another genre of hat which is running it very close in the race for popular favor—and this is the moderately large cloche trimmed with many enor- Sidney Bragg Two of the Newest Hats. mous wings, the latter black or white. Nothing could be smarter or more suitable for the seaside than these hats trimmed with large wings. The hats themselves are invariably of the cloche shape, but not so large as the "flower-garden," the only trimming used, besides the immense wings, being a length of black ribbon laid flat round the rather high crown and crossed on the brim at the back. Burnt straw lends itself delightfully to do decorations of this kind, and the wings on such a hat may be all black with a black ribbon, or black and white wings mixed. On burnt straw the trimmings look more chic if all black. I think, especially when the hat is worn with a white embroidered linen or muslin dress. The wings in question are always laid right across the front of the crown of the hat, and allowed to jut out at either side. They make a most imposing trimming, and as many as six wings may be used—three on either side. A very favorite hat of the moment is the burnt straw chip cloche covered tightly with pure white linen and trimmed with large white wings. This is reversing the general order of things because, this season, every second straw hat is lined with taffetas or some other firm material. The linen-fcovered straw hats are distinct novelties, and as such they are already suffering! A grievous sin it is to wear the bell-shaped hat high above a mass of hair, letting it hang down the nape of the neck, and covering its crown with upstanding flowers; few things are more hideous than the bell-shaped hat thus fixed, yet you may meet them by the dozens, and so popular is this method of raising the hat that stuffings of paper and pads of material are used to induce a hat to achieve and retain this totally false position. Last year the pads were worn under the front hair to induce it to roll upwards some four inches above the brow, but this year the practice is less common; let us hope next year it will have vanished altogether. I was ever an optimist, but I suffer acutely when I meet this coiffure in special evidence beneath an upraised "Bob" fringe is amongst the popular trimmings of the hour. It is made in silk, cotton and worsted, and is used to decorate silk, linen and cloth gowns, and seems to lend itself with special sympathy to the short loose coats and open sleeves which are just now our special delight. As trimming fringe shares with filet net most of the dressmakers' attentions. The latter is adorned with heavy embroideries of floss silk or lines of silken braid, and it is to be bound doing duty as sleeves, vests and skirt panels on dresses of volle and glace. A more inexpensive variety of the filet net is patterned with dragons of no species recognized by even the most enlightened zoological society; and this is much in evidence in cream color inset in dresses of white linen. The eagle also spreads itself boldly upon insertions of filet net, these being usually some four inches in width, and putting in their appearance upon skirts of linen, where they are bordered at the top and the bottom with a monster tuck; while the bodice of a fine linen-lawn exhibits a stripe of the lace down the center of its pinnafo front, lace again on the hem of the mono-shaped sleeves. Of the making and wearing of white dresses there is no end. The white linen skirt, white lawn shirt and white lace coat form the costume, and the monster bell-shaped hat accompanies it covered with masses of flowers, or draped with a real lace veil with huge wings outspreading upon the crown. The white muslin frocks are more extravagant than ever; their embroideries extending alike over bodice, sleeves and skirts, while their details of stitchery are marvels of execution—satin stitch, hem stitch and drawn stitch combining with the finest French knots and the most delicate veiling. Lawn dresses and plique dresses also show much elaboration of embroidery, but amongst the successes of simplicity are the frocks of spotted or striped cambrics and the frocks of hair-cord muslin, checked or striped. Jacob Bile on Contentment. Jacob Rilis, at a convention of school-teachers at Atlantic City, described contentment. "There is too much contentment," he said. "Contentment is often a euphemism for conceit. It is through dissatisfaction and not through contentment with ourselves that we improve. "Every man is too apt to be contented—that is, to be conceited—to think himself about as fine, and strong, and good, and wise as any one in the world. "Even beggars! Why, I know a gentleman who, on being accosted by a beggar, said: "Why don't you go to work? Why do you waste your time begging? "The beggar drew himself up. "The beggar drew himself up." "Did you ever beg?" he said. "No, of course not," said the man. "Then," said the beggar, "you don't know what work is." Billy's Retort. The old gentleman had been waiting on the lower floor for several minutes and was very irritable. When the elevator car finally appeared he moped his vermilion brow and shook his fist at the elevator boy. "How dare you keep me waiting!" he roared. "Don't you know I am the very deuce when irritated?" "No sir," laughed Billy. "But in that case I don't think you can go up with me." "W-why not?" "Because I don't care about raising the deuce." And the car shot upward leaving the old gentleman dancing with rage. Different Terms "He isn't in our social set, any more." "So I understand." "Yes; he dropped out some time ago." "Indeed! He gave me to understand he had climbed out." The failure of J. Q. A. Ward to satisfy either himself or Mrs. Sheridan in a design for the proposed statue of Gen. Sheridan to be erected in Sheridan circle, in Washington, is not a surprise to those who have followed the case for nearly a score of years, nor does it lessen the distinction of the venerable sculptor who has produced much worthy work and done more to elevate his profession than any living American. Mrs. Sheridan, like most people who have lost their loved ones by death, has idealised the many attributes of her distinguished husband. To be acceptable a design must realise these ideals, as well as those enshrined in the memory of those to whom the original was "Little Phil," and the committee's idea of art, as well as the modeler's own conception of the man to be honored by the efful Too much care cannot be taken in the selection of public monuments, especially when designed. for the national capital where the world expects to find America's best expression of her standards. Paradoxical as it may seem, there is in Washington, at the present time, much poor sculpture and yet, nowhere can the history of American sculpture be so well studied. St. Gaudens' masterpiece, the Adams memorial is there, also Daniel French's charming Gallaudet group; the Niehaus' Hahnemann statue and the Ward equestrian statue of Gen. Thomas, which is regarded as one of the best specimens of the kind in the entire country. SAW CHANCE FOR ECONOMY. Pertinent Suggestion Made to Member of Congress. There is a member of congress from a southwestern state who is pretty well known in Washington for his delight in the pleasures of the table. Praticially is he fond of roasted ears of corn, a delicacy he never omits an opportunity to indulge. On one occasion, so runs the story, the congressman was in a restaurant in Texas, when the waiter placed upon the table a plateful of the dish mentioned. The statesman proceeded to help himself. When he had consumed the fourth ear of corn, he noticed that a man across the table was eyeing him most curiously. Thinking that some explanation was necessary, the representative good-naturedly informed the stranger that roasted corn was one of the most nutritious and palatable of foods. Then he gathered unto himself a fifth ear, which he devoured with great relish. The man across the table could stand it no longer. "My friend," he suggested, "don't you think you could save about a dollar and a half a day if you were to board in a livery stable?"—Harper's Weekly. Eminent Government Employe. Eminent Government Employee. Notable among the government employees in Washington is that scholarly gentleman, M. Worthington Ford, brother of the late ill-fated novelist Paul Licecester Ford. Mr. Ford is a man of wealth and culture, with a beautiful suburban home at Cleveland Park, near President Cleveland's old home of "Red Top," five miles from the city. Here he entertains liberally and delightfully. Mr. Ford is a bibliomanac and his house abounds in priceless old volumes and manuscripts. For sheer love of the work this unusual man fills a comparatively obscure position as chief of the manuscript division of the library of congress, where he handles many of the most valuable documents in the world. Mr. Ford is an authority on the value and antiquity of rare writings. He has as much literary genius as his more famous brother Paul Licecester, the author of "The Honorable Peter Sterling," although he is not a professional. He contributes considerably, however, to the better magazines. The interesting collection of manuscripts from the library of congress now at the Jamestown exposition were selected ed and sent by Worthington Ford. He is a man of uncommon personal charms, who is much sought after in the more cultured social circles at the capital. Authors are his most frequent house guests. Mr. and Mrs. Ford have recently been entertaining a charming southern writer, Mrs. Anulet Andrews Ohl, whose forthcoming novel, "The Wife of Narcissus," will be one of the literary events of the autumn. Writer an Untrue Prophet. Writer, a Untrue Prophet. Said a writer in the Atlantic Monthly just before the civil war: "Washington is the elyrium of oddities, the limbo of absurdities, an imbroglo of ludicrous anomalles. Planned on a scale of surpassing grandeur, its architectural execution is almost contemptible. It has a monument that will never be finished, a capitol that lacks a dome and a scientific institution which does nothing but report the rise and fall of the thermometer." The prospect must have been discouraging at that time, but what a change we find to-day. The scientific institute, whose apparent inactivity was the cause of such sarcastic comment, has given to mankind the science of meteorology. The monument is completed and it is the most imposing memorial ever raised by man to the memory of a leader of men. The capital has been completed, and its dome, soaring among the clouds, is crowded with the emblem of freedom that symbolizes the highest national attainments of the human race.

He that loves God loves all that is good, and hates all that is evil. (2) He is not only good, but lovable. His goodness is attractive; it is worthy of love. (3) All we have and are we owe to him; and the only way in which we can make any return is to love him and obey him in love. That is all that is ours to give; to withhold it is unutterably mean. (4) "The best thing in man is love, and God wants the best." (5) Such love not only honors God, but elevates man. Love is the most ennobling act of the soul; and the nobler and higher the object, and the more intense the love, so much the more is the one who thus loves ennobled, purified, enlarged, exalted in nature. (6) In him are found all that ought to move the highest affections of man. The 'Foundation of Religion, of Character, of Righteousness, lies in a right heart, a heart that loves God and loves men. No act of goodness without this is true goodness. And men will not long continue to do right toward all without this deeper motive. This love is not national, but individual. Each heart must do the loving, and when all hearts do it the whole nation will have this heart of love. He that has this love in his heart has the fountain and source of all virtue. It is to the life what the mainspring is to a watch, what a fountain is to a stream, what the soul is to the body, what the two olive trees of Zechariah's vision were to the lamps they fed. This is what faith in Christ brings to the soul. The one great essential, both for the individual and the state, is a new life in the soul that supremely loves the good and hates the evil. This is the one way to the best life here and hereafter. The state is made up of individuals, and, therefore, if every one had this new life the whole state would be free from its corruptions and crimes. The newspapers would give us the morning news of good deeds, instead of its flood of crimes and wrongs. Education in Religion and Righteousness.—(7) "And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children." In every way, by home instruction, and by schools, and by sabbath worship and teaching. "And shalt talk of them when thou siltest in thine house," etc. The atmosphere of the home shall be full of these truths. Men will speak often of that which is of the greatest interest. Conversation is a marvelous power for culture and training. The events of the day, the deeds of ourselves and of others, can be made the occasion of moral instruction, in a concrete and vivid form. They are to great moral principles what the particles in the air are to the light, which would be generally invisible but for the objects which reflect and disperse it. The home is in its nature a university. It is a large part of the true "university extension" movement. Family Training is the greatest influence around the young. Family Religion is the foundation of church, of Sunday school, of religious life, of the whole country's morality and prosperity. Family Prayers are a great aid to family religion, and the International Lessons for the whole family are one of the greatest helps to this end. The Family Atmosphere, of religious life, of benevolence, of temperance, of kindness, of intelligence, of bright conversation, is the largest factor in family training. (8) "Thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand," etc. It was a literal and formal interpretation of this command which led to the use of phylacteries upon the arm and upon the forehead. These are small cubical leather cases, in which are parchments containing four passages of scripture in four columns (Ex. 13: 1-10, 11-16; Deut. 6: 4-9 and 11: 13-21). These are bound upon the arm and between the eyes by leather thongs. The real meaning of this command is that God's law should be in every deed of the hand, in the sight of the eyes, in the plans of the head. Every part of the daily life should be ruled by God's law. It should never be forgotten. Practical Points. The way to get the revival of righteousness we so much need is by a revival of true religion, a revival that changes the heart, a revival of love to God and love to man. As Herbert Spencer said, "Golden conduct does not proceed from leaden instincts." What Charles Kingsley says of England is true of our land as well. "Men say 'As long as England is ahead of the world in coal and iron, she may defy the world.' I do not believe it, for if she became a wicked nation, all the coal and iron in the universe would not save her from rule." All the Money Needed. Capt. W. S. Albright, deputy bank examiner of the state bank commissioner's office, in speaking of the flourishing condition of the state of Kansas at the present time, called to mind some instances that show that Kansas is looked upon as one of the richest states in the Union. "About ten years ago some of the banks in the East held mortgages on Kansas farms and seemed to be afraid they would not get the interest. Now conditions are different. The eastern people are sending paper into Kansas and offering as high as 7 per cent on it. They want Kansas money. One bank that I recently visited was sent a list of $450, worth of paper. The mail of the Kansas banks nowadays is heavy with paper listed and sent out here. But the Kansas bankers are conservative and won't invest unless they know what they are putting their money into. The legal reserve in the Kansas banks is bigger than ever before. The newspapers often speak of Kansas needing money to move its crops; this can not be true because the banks have all the money they want. There are 750 state banks in Kansas now." Universitien Greatest Year. "This will be the greatest year in the history of the university," said Chancellor Frank Strong in discussing the prospects for the coming school year at the University of Kansas. "Our faculty is larger and stronger than it has ever been before, our equipment is better and our enrollment will pass the 2,000 mark. Last year we believed we might be able to reach that mark, but we didn't quite make it. It has been an exceedingly prosperous year over the state. The crops have been good and good crops mean more students at the university. There undoubtedly will be a large increase in the number of new students, while the percentage of old students that will be back will be about the same as in former years. An Authentic History Needed. Somebody should write a history of Kansas, says Barney Sheridan. There are reference books and one-sided political publications, but no a history extant. In fact, there never was one written. Prentis' is a mere collection of dates, imperfect and incomplete; Holloway's covers only the early period, and a haphazzard recital it is. Robinson's "Conflict" is merely a political handbook—and so they run. Schools, business and progress demand a comprehensive account of the life of Kansas which will take on the dignity of history. With a Commission in Charge. The Clay Center municipal electric lighting plant, over which there has been so much discussion, has been started and is now serving electric lights to patrons. The city commission which is to have complete charge of the Clay Center water works plant and the municipal electric light plant has also taken charge. It is expected that this commission will conduct these municipal enterprises and through this commission the plants are expected to be a success. The Cost of Strikes. State Labor Commissioner W. L. A. Johnson has issued the 26th annual report of the State Bureau of Labor and Industry. The report is for 1906 and covers the labor situation in Kansas for last year. It shows that there was a total of 45 strikes in the state last year and that for 41 of the strikes reported the total days of duration was 3,624. The number of days lost during the year on account of strikes was 370,477 and the total amount of wages lost was $932,890.03. An Aged Dog and Cat. Saline county has a dog and a cat that may compare favorably in point of age with any other dog or cat in that territory and both are owned by one family. For 22 years at least, and perhaps several more, a cat has been living at the home of Leon Wary, several miles north of town. It is an old family pet, now much to old to catch rats or mice. Mr. Wary also has a dog that is out of the ordinary in point of age. He has had this animal for 26 years. The animal is deaf and has very poor eye sight, but otherwise shows no sign of departing this life at a very early date. Rural Carriers' Meeting. The Kansas Rural Letter Carriers' association has concluded the annual convention in Osage City. George R. Folsom of Osage City, secretary of the Osage County association, was chosen president of the state association, succeeding Jesse Bumgardner of Holton. R. E. Terry of Bavaria succeeds S. C. Ellis of Fairview as vice-president. O. Chase of Leavenworth was re-elected secretary and treasurer. Opening of Haskell. With the gathering together of 650 Indians from every corner of the United States another year of school work has been formally opened at Haskell Institute. For the last two weeks every incoming train has brought its quota of "aborigines" from the reservations, many of them old students, returning for another year of work at Haskell after spending the summer with their parents on the reservation and many of them fresh from the tepee and reservation schools, eager for their first experience. WORN TO A SKELETON. A Wonderful Restoration Caused a Sensation in a Pennsylvania Town. Mrs. Charles N. Preston, of Elkland, Pa., says: "Three years ago I found that my housework was becoming a burden. I tired easily, had no ambition and was falling fast. My complexion got yellow, and I lost over 50 pounds. My thirst was terrible, and there was sugar in the kidney secretions. that my housework was becoming a burden. I tired easily, had no ambition and was falling fast. My complexion got yellow, and I lost over 50 pounds. My thirst was terrible, and there was sugar in the kidney secretions. My doctor kept me on a strict diet, but as his medicine was not helping me, I began using Dean's Kidney Pills. They helped me at once, and soon all traces of sugar disappeared. I have regained my former weight and am perfectly well." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster, Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. TOLD HIM THE TRUTH. Dad's Indignation Got the Better of His Judgment. An old German farmer, who resided in one of the rural districts of the state of Iowa, was the father of a half-witted boy, whose lack of intellect was the cause of no little anxiety and solicitude on the part of the paternal parent. "Dot poy Shon," he was heard to remark in the course of a conversation with a neighbor of like Teutonic origin, "he is not ferry bright, aber I can't want you to tell him because I can't want him to know it." Meanwhile the young hopeful was driving through the barnyard with a load of hay, which in attempting to turn a sharp corner he unfortunately upset. The old man immediately became highly indignant. "Shon!" he bellowed in a voice of thunder, "you isss a plame fool, you always vass a fool, you always vill pe a fool, you not know noddings."—Judge's Library. Why Advertising Pays. "You will be pressed for money oftener because you have no advertising bills to pay than because you have," observes the Buffalo News. "Big advertising bills and big bank balances grow, together, out of the same publicity campaigns." The merchant who holds down his expense account by cutting out advertising saves money just the way the railroads would if they should stop buying coal for their locomotives. Without coal the wheels won't turn; without publicity trade comes to a standstill. It pays to throw silver out of the window that gold may come in at the door. Saw Chance to Economize. After weeks of waiting and longing for the sport, rods, reels, gaff, creel—everything was in readiness for a week's trout fishing! The young wife, smiling joyously, hurried into the room, extending towards her husband some sticky, speckled papers. "For goodness' sake," he exclaimed, "what on earth are you doing with those old fly papers?" "I saved you for them last summer, dear," she answered. "You know you said you always had to buy flies when you went fishing." Eoine Bird. An Irishman who wasn't much of a hunter went out to hunt one day, and the first thing he saw to shoot at was a blue jay sitting saucally on the top of a fence. He blazed away at the bird and then walked over to pick it up. What he happened to find there was a dead frog, which he raised carefully at arm's length, looking at it with a puzzled air. Finally he remarked: "Well, begobs, but ye was a devil of a foine looking burd befur Ol bleer their fithers off o'yers!"—Judge's Library. FAMILY FOOD. Crisp, Toothsome and Requires No Cooking. A little boy down in N. C. asked his mother to write an account of how Grape-Nuts food had helped their family. She says Grape-Nuts was first brought to her attention on a visit to Charlotte, where she visited the Mayor of that city who was using the food by the advice of his physician. She says: "They derive so much good from it that they never pass a day without using it. While I was there I used the Food regularly. I gained about 15 pounds and felt so well that when I returned home I began using Grape-Nuts in our family regularly. "My little 18 months old baby shortly after being weaned was very ill with dyspepsia and teething. She was sick nine weeks and we tried everything. She became so emaciated that it was painful to handle her and we thought we were going to lose her. One day a happy thought urged me to try Grape-Nuts soaked in a little warm milk. "Well, it worked like a charm and she began taking it regularly and improvement set in at once. She is now getting well and饱和 fat as fast as possible on Grape-Nuts. "Sometime ago several of the family were stricken with LaGrippe at the same time, and during the worst stages we could not relish anything in the shape of food but Grape-Nuts and oranges, everything else nauseated us. "We all appreciate what your famous food has done for our family." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. IN THE SUPERLATIVE DEGREE. Little Son's Explanation Seemed to Cover the Case. Little son, aged seven, whose training has been of the most painstaking and conscientious, rather took away his mother's breath in describing the dog's game of ball. He ended with: "And, mother, Topsy caught the ball in her mouth, and then just ran like h—!" "Like what?" cried the startled mother. "W'y, like h—, don't you know, mother?" innocently. "No, I don't believe I do. Just how is that, dear?" she asked faintly. "Well, I don't know jus' what it means, myself," he confessed, "but it's a whole lot faster than 'lickety-split!'" CASE OF ECZEMA IN SOUTH. Suffered Three Years—Hands and Eye Most Affected—Now Well and Is Grateful to Cuticura. "My wife was taken badly with eczema for three years, and she employed a doctor with no effect at all until she employed Cuticura Soap and Ointment. One of her hands and her left eye were badly affected, and when she would stop using Cuticura Soap and Ointment the eczema came back, but very slightly, but it did her a sight of good. Then we used the entire set of Cuticura Remedies and my wife is entirely recovered. She thanks Cuticura very much and will recommend it highly in our locality and in every nook and corner of our parish. I. M. Robert, Hydropolis, La., Jan. 5 and Sept. 1, 1906."

SIM I spent two nights and a day on your ranch, and while there I was in the Musgrove, Brown, Turkey Creek, Muley cow and Frenchman pastures, and made as compete an examination of the property as I could within the limited time that I had to spare. I consider your land the best body of land that I have seen in Southwest Texas, and I have looked over considerable lands in Texas. I recently arrived at the quality of the soil on this ranch. It was much better than I expected to see, and I consider it a most favorable opportunity for a poor man to get a good home. The soil is what I would call dark and red chocolate loam, with occasionally a little sand, which I consider a benefit in some respects, rather than a hindrance. I have been engaged in farming and ranching about all my life, and have had much experience in raising alfalfa in Kansas and Oklahoma, in my mind there is no question but that the black land on your ranch is equally valuable. Alfalfa, which I consider the most valuable farm crop that any farmer can raise. While in San Antonio, I saw fresh alfalfa hay on the wagon, and it was selling for $17.00 per ton, loose hay. With the long seasons you have in Texas, and proper irrigation, you should get at least seven or eight cuttings of alfalfa a year off this land, and there ought to be a yield of at least a ton to the cutting. I saw the large artesian well at the Headquarters ranch, and I must say it is the finest artesian well I ever saw, and is fully up to your representations in every respect. If I had a land ladder with artesian water, as I am satisfied it is, I do not see why alfalfa and all other crops grown upon that land cannot be made a success. I consider that you are giving the people a great opportunity to secure cheap homes. As far as I have seen, I am perfectly free to say that you have represented your property fairly, and that the description you give of it in your literature is not overdrawn.

Charlie Turner, of St. Louis, showed his good common sense when he supported Mr. Dickey. Mr. Dickey, rest assured 60,000 Negroes will march down with you to capture Richmond. Well, Dickey was elected chairman. Watch Old Missouri go forward. Hello! Mysterious Stranger, you are here to stay. No snakes in the grass or broken promises. Mr. Dickey is a Republican who keeps his word. The Negroes are with you, and call on them when you want them. The Rising Son is with you, Chairman Dickey, and you know it. You have always treated this paper with great consideration. We remember the campaign of 1904, when our efforts were greatly appreciated by you. Our paper is stronger and our circulation is five or six times as large. We represent the voice of the Negro Lead, and we will follow. THE AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNALS THE AFRO-AMERICAN JOURNALS With very few exceptions every time that an Afro-American journal takes a stand on any question it costs the editor money. Other people can say and do anything they choose without injuring their business, for the reason they are not put on record. When a newspaper publishes anything it is read by thousands of people, as it is indelibly inscribed there in black and white, and cannot be disputed. An editor occupies one of the most touchy positions than any other business man. If he publishes local news he is criticised and called shallow-brained, while a few will compliment and applaud. If he takes a stand on politics he makes an enemy on the other side. If he boosts the church or preacher some body will say that he is crazy, and if he doesn't the church people say that he is an infidel. Our experience has taught us that no Afro-American journal can come squarely out and stand up for the right without making enemies. And of course, will on some occasion lose money; but, nevertheless, the average paper manages to squeeze through. The Rising Son is not kicking about the patronage given it, but we do regret that so many people who know absolutely nothing about the newspaper business, and very little about any other, are always trying to tell some one how to conduct their affairs, and what should form the topics of its columns. The Afro-American journals are justly entitled to far more consideration than they are given. THE POPULAR CAME OF WHIST. Whist is quite a popular game in Kansas City among the Negroes. Some of those who play the game from a standpoint of authority and science are as follows: Prof. G. N. Grisham, H. O. Cook, W. H. Dawley, W. W. Yates, W. E. Griffin, Jno. Day, and Messrs. Theo. Clay, Priet Simpson, Tios. McCampbell, Spencer Morgan and W. T. Washington, and Dps. J. N. Birch, L. J. Holly, E. J. McCampbell and Theo. Smith. This is but a partial list. But every one of the above gentlemen plays with reference. Some time this fall there will be a whist club organized for those that play the game. J. T. HARRIS, Sporting Editor. W. S. DICKEY FOR STATE CHAIR MAN Mr. Dickey's ability for the position of chairman of the state committee was demonstrated in the city campaign of 1904, when he carried the party through a successful victory. He represents the highest type of a white man, and he is a very good leader for the people to stick to, as he is fair in all of his dealings.

Two were United States Senators. Twenty-two Representatives; three, held diplomatic and consular positions; many have been officers in the army, six were Recorders of Deeds in the District of Columbia. A fine engraving of these Negro Congressmen has just been issued, giving accurate portraits of each; also the Congress in which they served and the years of service. In the picture, the two Senators, Messrs. Revels and Bruce, occupy the center of the group, surrounded by the other eighteen Representatives. In the background, the Stars and Stripes in color. This beautiful engraving, with a booklet containing biographies of these eminent men, is sold for one dollar ($1.00). This engraving is a graphic political history of the Negro in America.

In our times it has become much more likely than not that the first stranger you meet in the street might safely be trusted with your purse or your reputation. The love of truth and honesty is by no means a monopoly of churchgoing people.—Methodist Times. Faint-Hearted Modern Lovers. The average modern young man cares only for "tame rabbit coursing." He labors under some new-fangled delusion that it is undignified to woo unless you are more than half sure of winning. Naturally the sport is dull both to pursuer and pursued. The dainty art of courtship is nearly forgotten.—Woman at Home. Blind Letter Carrier.

Flowery Sentences Retained "The mantle of darkness" and "the dome of the sky" are survivals from the days when the sky was believed to be a solid dome resting upon the edge of the earth, over which blankets of different colors hung at dawn and dusk.

Bowles.) "Hither die sterne lt rush, Uther die sterne lt rush." It was the Herr Professor singing in the organ loft. Higher and higher swelled the music, louder and sweeter the rich full tones of the great organ, and the mellow, wonderful voice of the musician rose, until the dim, quiet old church was filled with the exquisite harmony. Slowly and cautiously one of the heavy outer doors was partly opened and a dark, lovely face looked timidly in, as the music swelled upward in all its sublime sweetness, the door was pushed farther open by a little brown hand and a slight, childish figure entered and crept softly, hesitatingly up the aisle. Presently the music stopped, but the child remained kneeling as if in a trance. The door leading from the organ left opened and the musician came slowly down, humming softly to himself. As he came forward his eyes fell on the kneeling child with her rapt, exquisite face and her wondrous, lifted eyes, and he stopped short in astonishment. "Liebe Himmel!" he muttered. "It is the face of an angel!" A title of crimson flooded the lovely olive face as the child sprang up and shrank back timidly. "Fardon, sir—a thousand pardons!" she stummered, in a soft, musical voice, tremulous with fright. The look of wonder and astonishment on the good professor's face changed to one of gentleness and pity at the little one's evident fear. Pruil, little one, thou hast naught to fear, am I then so great a monster that thou shouldst run from me? Come maltchen, let us see thee closer." The child came shyly forward and stood before the great master, who took her small hands in his own and gazed with kindly curiosity into her face. "Thou art a puzzle, little one," he said, smiling. "Who art thou? I find thee in this quiet English town, and the tongue is English, too, but the face and voice, they do not belong to an English maid. How is it, leibchen?" "I am Gabrielle," said the child, simply. "My father keeps the music shop near by. He is English, but I—I am like my mother who is with the angels. She was born over the sea, in Italy." "Ah! that accounts for thy soft voice and dark face, my lovely one, I thought there was southern blood in thy veins. And then wert listening to the music? Perhaps thou wouldst like to learn, thyself?" The child drew in her breath quickly and clasped her hands spasmodically in the emotion that suddenly swept over her. "Ah! if I might!" she cried, "if I only might! But there is none to teach, and I can do nothing but sing, and that not at home, for it makes my father sad. My mother sang, and he is always remembering." "So you sing, then, little one; let us hear you. Come, do not be afraid; sing something you know well." He had, somehow, expected to hear an unusual voice, but nothing like what he did hear; as the child threw back her head proudly and her sweet, clear voice swelled upward, the purity and richness of its exquisite tones thrilled the great master, and filled him with wondering astonishment. "It is wonderful!" he exclaimed, as the sweet voice died away, and Gabrielle stood flushed and trembling before him. "My child, you are blest of the saints! your voice is perfect. You will have the world at your feet." "I want only to be able to play the great organ and sing as you do. Shall I ever be able to sing the song you sang just now?" "Certainly, and many much more difficult than that." "But who would teach me, sir?" faltered Gabrielle. "My father has no money." "We shall see to that, little one; we shall see to all that—such a voice must not be lost to the world. Tell me where you live and I will see the father about it." Gabrielle directed him, and then with the impulsiveness born of her hot, southern blood, she raised his hand to her lips and covered it with kisses. The great German master had come to this little out-of-the-way English town some weeks before, for the purpose of resting. He had steered clear of hotels and boarding houses; though they were of a very quiet, primitive order in this country place, and had secured lodgings with one of his own countrymen, Karl Hansel, a music teacher, who soon ascertained who his guest was, and was not a little proud of the distinction of having the famous "Herr Professor," to use his own words, under his roof. He became a great favorite with the simple town folk, who always spoke of him after Karl Hansel's example, as the "Herr Professor." But now the time for his departure was at hand, and he made haste to see Gabrielle's father before he went away. He did not long hesitate in giving his consent that his little daughter receive a musical education. She was to study during the winter and summer with Karl Hansel. 'and when autumn comes again," said the master, smiling. "I shall come for her and take her to the Fatherland. We will make a great singer of thee, leibchen." Through the late winter and going Gabrielle advanced rapidly and her tutor was full of pride at her progress. But when the hot days of summer came she began to droop; the slender form grew than, and the rosy color faded from her cheek. By-and-by she became too weak to continue her lessons. Poor little Gabrielle! It soon became apparent to all who saw her that she would never sing for the world. Yet—let me change it—rich Gabrielle, she would sing, not for the world, but for the angels. She lingered on until winter, growing weaker every day, but making no complaint save weariness. "I am so tired!" she would say, "so tired." She never complained of aught else. She had but one wish. "To hear the song of the Herr Professor," and see the master before she died. But Karl Hansel did not know exactly his whereabouts, although he wrote him occasionally to learn of the progress of his protege, and for three months he had heard nothing of him, although he wrote of the child's falling strength: "I am so tired!" she would cry, "and I cannot rest. Sing me the song of the Herr Professor. I cannot rest till I have heard it." "Child, child!" her heartbroken, white-haired father would cry, "you break my heart! alas! there is no one J. M. W. who knows it—if you could but remember the name." There came a day in the early autumn when with tearful eyes the friends of little Gabrielle gathered around her couch. The little life was fast ebbing out. "Tell the Herr Professor," she whispered. Just then a step was heard without—the door opened and the master stood on the threshold. Gabrielle's eyes grew radiant and she stretched out her little thin hands. "It is the Herr Professor!" she cried, joyfully. The next instant he had crossed over and knelt by her couch and taking the little feeble hands, pressed them to his breast. "Lebuchen! amkin! beloved child!" he cried. "Ach! mein Gott! but it is cruel." "Sing me the song you sang in the church, dear Herr Professor," she begged; "I have waited so long to hear it again, and I am so tired—ah, so very tired, and I cannot rest." Then the master raised his powerful voice, its richness mingled now with a solemn tenderness. "Ueber die sterne 1st ruh," he sang again—sang as he never sang it before, as he would never sing it again, and the dying Gabrielle listened with parted lips, while into her weary dark eyes there stole a sweet, restful peace. "Ueber die sterne ist ruh!" she repeated feebly. "What does it mean, Herr Professor?" "Over the stars is thy rest," said the master, solemnly. "Rest for thee, little Gabrielle." "Ah! it is for me! for me the song is made!" cried Gabrielle, smiling weakly. "I am so tired, but—over—the stars—" The sentence was finished in heaven, where she had found rest at last. They laid her gently back and led the sorrowing father away; then the great musician bowed his head and wopt over the little lifeless form. "Ach! meine leibe kind!" he murured, "thou art lost to the world, but perhaps it is best; thou wert not intended for earth—thy voice it was lent thee by the angels!" In one corner of the country churchyard is a little grass-grown mound marked by an unusually handsome headstone. When it attracts notice, the villagers say: "Yes, it came from over the seas; the great master sent it from Leipsic; and the stranger stopping to read, sees the simple inscription: "Gabrielle. Ueber die sterne ins ruh." WITH THE FUNNY FELLOWS ELOPING UP-TO-DATE. The coattless man puts a careless arm 'Round the waist of the hattest girl. While over the dustless, mudless roads In a borseless wagon they whirl. Like a leadless bullet from hammerless gun. By smokeless powder driven. They fly to taste the speeckless joys By endless union given. The only luncheon his coinless purse Affords to them the means Is a tasteless meal of boneless cod, With a dish of stringless beans. He smokes his tobaccoless pipe, And laughs a mirtless laugh When papa tries to coax her back By wireless telegraph. By wireless telegraph. - Maurice Rutherford, in Lippincott's. Trick of the Trade: "How in the world did you make such a success in this town?" asked the first beauty doctor. "Why, I came here two years ago and couldn't make my salt." "Oh, you didn't go about it the same way that I did," replied the second beauty doctor with a wink. "How was that?" "Why, as soon as I arrived I told all the girls in town that they were too pretty to need a beauty doctor and then started for the train. Then they held me in town by force."—Chicago Daily News.

Tramped 4,000 Niles Harry Tidd, a former Salisbury boy, and Frank Jackson, both of Columbia, have reached home after a 4,000-mile trip on which they did not pay one cent for fare, according to the Salisbury Press-Speculator. Both boys are university students and crack track and field athletes. They left with the university cadets June 9, went to the Jamestown exposition, were discovered to be impostors by Capt. Joseph Frazier, did half a day in the guardhouse, worked in hotels to pay their expenses at the exposition, took medals in the collegiate championship meet there, beat their way to New York City where they were entertained by the Missouri alumni, visited Boston and Bangor, Me., where they spent ten days at sea, and points in the East, and returned by way of Niagara Falls, Chicago, Detroit and St. Louis. In St. Louis they were entertained at the Missouri Athletic club, of which they are members. Tidd and Jackson are anxiously awaiting the action that may be taken by the university discipline committee in the fall. Capt. Frazier, who is a member of the committee, stated that he would try to have the men expelled for fraudulently attiring themselves in cadet uniforms and going with the cadets. Missouri Editor Dies. Harry Howard, a veteran newspaper man at one time widely known in this state, died at his residence in Macon recently, 69 years old. He was associated with Col. James Love in the publication of the Legion at Old Bloomington, in the later 50s, and was engaged in newspaper enterprises at Vevay, Ind.; Platte City, Weston, and in 1883 returned to Macon county and established there the True Democrat, his old partner, Col. Love, being associated with him. He retired from business a few years ago. An Inquiry From Russia. That the Joplin board of education is known in all parts of the world was pravel when a letter inquiring for information on school methods and directed to the secretary of the board of education in Joplin came from far away Moscow, Russia, says a Joplin exchange. The letter enclosed, in an unsealed blue envelope, was received by Secretary I. N. Threlkeld of the board. It was a plea for suggestions that could be used in the educational reforms in Russia. A Hustling Bridegroom. Anybody can get married if he tries as hard as a St. Joseph youth did.

To Raze Boone County Court House. When Boone county's new court is completed January 1, 1909, the old court house will be torn down. This building was made famous five years ago by the trial and conviction of Colonel Ed. Butler of bribery. It was erected in 1847, 60 years ago, at a cost of $17,165, and was the best in the state at that time. Shot a Missouri Marshal. After mortally wounding the acting city marshal of Pacific, Albert Kopf, Charles Anderson, believed .o be a robber, was shot and severely wounded by Dr. A. L. McNey, who was hurrying to attend Kopf. Anderson demanded that the physician give him his horse and buggy with which to escape and the doctor replied with shots. Crazy on Horse Trading. A strange form of hallucination developed here when L. D. Roberts, a middle-aged man living in Central City, was taken in charge and later removed to the asylum for the insane in Nevada. Roberts formed the opinion that he was a David Harum. The first demonstration of his horse trading ability was shown when he bartered his house and lot in Central City for an old half-blind gray mare. Afterward he bought a blind, crippled animal and paid several hundred dollars for it. The present commitment to the asylum is the third. To Protect M. S. U. Students The Civic league of Columbia, 100 strong, has taken up the enforcement of the anti-cigarette law. A committee that was appointed for the purpose has issued an order for publication in the papers of the town serving notice that every provision of the law will be enforced. The students in the University of Missouri have caused the Civic league to take up the fight. The league was formed to enforce the law against the selling of liquor to students. Killed Eight Snakes at One Shot. A Liberty man killed eight rattlesnakes with one shot. The mother snake had seven young ones, about a foot long, and when they saw him the old one held her mouth open and the young ran down her throat and were inside when he shot her. All of them were killed. Over Half Productive.

When Alfred Stevens designed the noble monument to the duke of Wellington in St. Paul's cathedral, London, he intended that his work should be crowned by an equestrian statue. But Stevens died before his design was carried out. Now, 32 years after his death, the equestrian statue has been completed and before long will be placed in position. ALL HAIL PE-RU-NA. A Case of STOMACH CATARRH. MARY ODRIEN Miss Mary O'Brien, 806 Myrtle Ave., Brooklyn, N. W. writes: "Peruna cured me in five weeks of catarrh of the stomach, after suffering for four years and doctoring without effect. In common with other grateful ones who have been benefited by your discovery, I say. All halt to Peruna." Mr. H. J. Henneman, Oakland, Neb., writes: "I waited before writing to you about my sickness, catarrh of the stomach, which I had over a year ago. "There were people who told me it would not stay cured, but I am sure that I am cured, for I do not feel any more ill effects, have a good appetite and am getting fat. So I am, and will say to all, I am cured for good. "I thank you for your kindness. "Peruna will be our house medicine hereafter." Catarrh of the stomach is also known in common parlance as dyspepsia, gastritis and indigestion. Non-operative medicine will often be accepted if it removes the catarrhal condition.

With the completion of the West Traffic Way construction, which has been pending in the council, Kansas City will have a street car system that will compare with any of the systems of the eastern metropolises. The officials here are continually getting the modern ideas of the larger cities of the east. Take, for instance, Buffalo, with its superb system; Cleveland, O., with the various methods and suggestions of that wonderful street railway genius, the Hon. Tom Johnson, and the advanced system of New York and Boston. Mr. Belmont, an able adviser of the New York system. In those places they have from 25 to 70 miles of railway running, and such splendid accommodation. The electric cars that run from Cleveland to Oberlin have special cars for baggage, and from Oberlin to Norwalk it is the same way. Farther east, in Massachusetts, it is even better. A person can ride from North Adams, Mass., to Hoosac Falls, N. Y., and from there to Bennington, Vt., and, in fact, most any place you desire to go. Persons who have traveled have experienced this state of affairs. So it is with the Kansas City system—an encircling street railway idea. This idea has not been surpassed by any of the larger and older cities. It is an original idea of President Bernard Corrigan. That is, that the cars must describe an entire circle around the city, touching at all points from east to west, and north to Two houses, five and ten rooms; all modern except heat; all improvements in and paid; asphalt street; 40 feet of ground.

Permission for the erection of homes and hotels in the great plain extending from Eskebich to the Nile, and covered with ancient sphinxes and structures, has been granted by the Egyptian government. Several associations have been formed for the building of large hotels in this district. Pome: "ological." New York farmers have perfected an organization one of the objects of which is "to promote whatever changes are necessary to insure justice to the producer and consumer alike." As a beginning they might pass resolutions against putting all the wormy apples at the bottom of the barrel—Springfield (Mass.) Union. Largest Counties in America. The two largest counties in the United States are Custer county, Montana, and San Bernardino county, California. Of these is a little more than 20,000 square miles in extent, and the states of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware and New Jersey could be put inside the boundaries of either of them. To Prevent Blood Poisoning Apply peroxide of hydrogen to the wound until it ceases to fizz, moisten bandage with same. Obtainable at all drummers, and ten cents worth will last seven months. The wound heals quickly when it is used, as it kills all germs. It is used in hospitals after operations. Wedding Ring Superstition. A quaint superstition is prevalent in many English villages. When a woman is going to be married every effort is made to prevent her from seeing her wedding ring before the ceremony, as it is considered that a sight of it except at the altar is bound to bring bad luck. Large New England Tree Perhaps the largest tree in New England stands in the yard of Jerry Richard in Chester, Vt.

For instance, beginning with the northeast, this line touches with the Jackson avenue and Hardesty line. Jackson avenue and Hardesty line touches at a point tangent to all the eastbound cars. In all instances there is a circle, represented either by looping or connecting. Kansas City, Kansas, is supplied with this system, as well as a connecting link with Leavenworth, the Swope Park and Troost avenue line, and also Rockhill, touching at the Troost avenue line. A regulation in the downtown district, with an unraveling of the very complicated connections. The completion itself will be in the finishing of the West Traffic Way construction on Twelfth street, and with the new cars now in use over that line will make it complete. The people should feel very proud over this great assisting agent in Kansas City's growth. Mr. C. N. Black, the general manager, returned not so very long ago from a trip to the east, where he was absorbing in his energetic manner more ideas and rules by which to govern Kansas City's system. Ten years from now, as Mr. J. J. Helms has put it, Kansas City will be a center of street railway gravitation, from whence there will come outpouring of cars to all the suburban towns and rural districts, taking in an area from 50 to 68 miles. The people are waiting for this time to come, of such splendid street car accommodation and transporting facilities. F. J. WEAVER THE DUNBAR HOTEL IS OPENED. It was a great day for the Negroes when the Dunbar Hotel was opened for their especial benefit. F. J. Weaver, one of our most enterprising young men of the city, has struck the keynote chord in the heart of the Negroes in opening the hotel. Mr. Weaver has studied with a progressive eye the needs of the Negroes in this section, along the lines of first class accommodation, and now he is prepared to give the best there is in the hotel business. The Dunbar, named after one of the greatest Negroes the country has produced, located at 1013-15 Oak, affords the best in every particular. All hail! the new Dunbar hotel. A MILLINERY AND DRESSMAKING PARLOR Mrs. Stella Hubbard of this city has just opened up a new establishment for the race. Combined with the millinery department is dressmaking and ladies' tailoring. Mrs. Hubbard has done considerable work along this line. She is an expert seamstress and has great designing ability for technical dressmaking, making any kind of fashionable dresses. Besides this, Mrs. Hubbard completed her course in millinery and she is now turning out a line of work that has the general approval of the public. Such work among the woman of our race should be hearty commended and patronized by the best class of our people, who believe in assisting their own race to succeed. She has a neat little place and will no doubt be very successful at 1335 E. 18th St Justice is a powerful weapon. The man who tries to wield the handle and flail will eventually be struck by the blade himself, but he who wields it justly can chase ten thousand foes. The Negro politicians, after doing their dirty banco work, have sneaked away, each to his little hiding hole. All things come to him who waits. In the end all things are set right. Taft has not made good with the Negroes. He is the administration's man. Can Fairbanks carry Missouri? If he cannot carry Missouri he van carry 63,000 Negro voters of that state. Mrs. Bowman, the mother of Mrs. Wm. Fairfax, 1322 E. 14th St., is very ill. COPIES OF THE RISING SON CAN BE HAD AT SMITH'S, THREE DRUG STORES. 805 INDEPENDENCE AVE. 908 E. 12th ST. AND 1307 E. 18th ST. Cat's Peculiar Notion. A cat belonging to Mrs. Martin Robertson of Swanbille Center, Me., has a litter of four kittens. The little ones were born in the woods a quarter of a mile from the house. For some unexplained reason the old cat will not have the whole family in the house at one time, but brings in two, which are allowed to remain for two days. Then these are taken back to the woods and the other two brought to the house. She has yet to get the two sections of the family mixed. Danger of Blood Poisoning Experiments conducted by a German surgeon prove that blood poisoning may easily result from allowing conversation around an operation. He found that the minute drops of saliva expelled in the act of speaking contained on an average 4,373 bacteria, many of which are disease producers. Peculiar Matchmonial Ad. The following advertisement appeared in a Devonshire, Eng., newspaper: "Widower, no family, renting a small farm near Kingsbridge, wants a housekeeper; a chapel-goer, person, and one that has charity, which is the love of God, preferred; with views of marriage, if the Lord prosper my ways and she be willing. Apply, etc. "Europe's Nursery of Vice." People may contend what they please about Paris, Berlin, Vienna and Rome, but whatever villainy flourishes out there, you may be quite sure that there is more of it in this mammoth metropolis (London), which is called on the continent "Europe's nursery of vice."—Father Bernard Vaughan. Had Too Many Pets An Augusta, Me., man was tried the other day under an indictment which alleged nuisance, in that the defendant kept dogs, cats and foxes at and about his home to the disturbance and detriment of his neighbors. The jury rendered a verdict of guilty after a brief deliberation. Owl's Appetite Its Undoing Andy Baker, of Gilsum, N. H., found that his chickens were disapearing rather mysteriously and resolved to capture the intruder. As a result a large owl is on exhibition in a store window at Keene. Beyond a doubt the bird has feasted on its last chicken. Borax Alwava Useful. Travelers will always find a small package of borax useful on their journeys. On trains, as often in hotels, the water supplied for washing is hard and drying on the skin, and a tea-spoonful of borax added to a basinful of water will make a wonderful difference. Turkey Worth Owning. James Raybuck, of Lancaster, Penn., is the owner of a valuable turkey hen, especially in these times, when the great American bird is such a scarce article. During the spring and summer this hen laid 108 eggs, which is said to establish a record for turkey hens. Refugees in Greece. There are at present in Athens and other parts of Greece about 12,000 refugees who have fled from their lands in Bulgaria, Rumelia, Roumania and the Caucasus. The government and people have undertaken to care for these refugees. Pony Is Fond of Milk. H. D. Stewart of Linnens, Me., has an Indian pony that has lately developed a taste for new milk. On going into the yard one morning lately Mr. Stewart found him extracting milk from one of the cows in the old-fashioned way. Behind the Times. "Well, one thing is sure; you ain't no lady, nohow," was what a Connecticut "lady" said as she stood with arms akimbo looking at Mrs. Grace Thompson-Seton, as she saw her out in the Rockies riding a horse astride. Sharp Tongues. Men ought to find the difference between saltness and bitterness. Certainly he that hath a satirical vein, as he makeh others afraid of his wit, so he hath need be afraid of others' memory.—Francis Bacon. Pleasures of the Mind There is a sense of hearing that the vulgar knows not. And the voices of the dead breathe soft and frequent to those who can unite the memory with the faith—Zanoni. A Freak. "My curiosity is running away with me," said a farmer, his two-headed calf proving too strong for him and dragging him around the farmyard.—Harper's Weekly. Rock Salt Preserves Ice A cheap mixture to put around an ice chest to keep it cold is pounded rock salt in the proportion of one part to two parts of pounded ice. A Safe Conclusion It is safe to conclude that the girl has a very strong reason for doing so if she breaks the engagement after her wedding outfit is ready. Divine Power of Love.
