Garrett and Mr. Wm. McKnight were mistaken for Williams and Walker. Mrs. D. A. Doyle, of 1621 E. 13th St., has returned from a three months' visit to Colorado Springs, Cripple Creek and Denver, Colorado. She is very much refreshed from her extensive trip. While there she visited many places of interest and comes back with a full knowledge of the country. She reports a pleasant acquaintanceship with the people out there. KANSAS CITY, MO., SATURDAY, OCT. 19, 1907. PATRICK Supreme Representative of O. O. C. of Missouri. Mrs. J. Lankford Combs, who has been doing great work in her lodge has been highly honored by the court for her valuable services. She is the first Past Grand Worthy Counsellor of the State of Missouri. Mrs. Combe is a charter member of the Grand Court which was organized in 1890. She was elected Grand Secretary and Treasurer of the Endowment board in 1904, also was re-elected in 1905. After two years of faithful service in this capacity Mrs. Combs was elected Supreme Representative, to represent her native state at the National conclave of the Knights of Pythias of the world. NEGROES WANT OLD HOSPITAL. Are Afraid no Arrangements Will be Made for Them in New. Kansas City negro phylicians are again agitating to a slight extent the old proposition to have the present hospital building made into a separate department for negroes, with negro physicians and nurses in charge. Notwithstanding the agreement reached some months ago by a committee composed of Drs. T. C. Unthank, J. E. Perry, J. E. Dibble, J. S. Shannon and J. N. Birch, representing the Negro Medical Society of Kansas City, and Aldermen Young, Eaton, Greene, Woolf and Mayor Beardsley, city council hospital committee, the negro doctors are somewhat dissatisfied and may ask that the council reopen the matter. By the terms of this agreement a negro ward is to be established in the new general hospital with internes and nurses of that race. Here, it was promised, the negro physicians might take their patients and hold suitable clinics, with quarters ample for all their needs. There is a well defined suspicion among the negro doctors that in the bustle of rearrangement this agreement will be forgotten. "So far as we know," said Dr. Unthank last night, "the promise of the council committee will be kept." But we have not observed any very marked degree of activity towards carrying it out, and many of us are inclined to believe we shall be left holding the bag when the readjustment is made. Just now if one of us has the amputation of a finger to perform, he must take his patient across the line to Kansas City, Kan. Naturally we are very much worried as to what will be done for us here after in the matter. We can not see even yet any real reason why we should not be given the old hospital as we asked at first. "At least 90 per cent of the negro cases in Kansas City are handled by negro physicians. We have no clinical facilities whatever, and but few facilities for taking care of those of our race who may be in need of suitable hospital care—at least for those of the 90 per cent we have under our charge. We shall be satisfied if we are given the quarters at the new building we were promised. I am sure, however, another attempt will be made to secure the old building for our purposes. A number of councilmen who were asked about the matter evaded the question yesterday, declaring they had too many present problems to worry them to bother about this until it be came necessary. It is generally believed that the new building will be ready for occupancy in January or February. CLINICS FOR NEGROES. The request of the local negro physicians that a ward for negro patients, to be under the care of physicians and nurses of their own race, be established in the new general hospital is so reasonable and just that the municipal authorities should give hearty consent. Indeed, it would not be unreasonable in view of the large percentage of the negro population to set aside the old hospital building for the exclusive use of negro practitioners and their patients. If it is true, as asserted by a prominent negro physician, that 90 per cent of the negro cases in Kansas City are handled by negro physicians, it is not only unjust, out dangerous to the public health and safety, to deny these physicians an opportunity to add to their proficiency by having a suitable place to hold clinics and provide proper facilities for their patients who may become a public charge. The higher the standard of skill among the negro physicians the less will be the chances of an epidemic of smallpox or other contagious diseases originating in the negro population and spreading over the city. still higher consideration than the seismic one of protecting the white population from contagion is the moral obligation on the part of the administration to give the negroes a fair share of the benefits of public charities, such as the general hospital, and to do everything possible to uplift and promote the moral and social welfare of their race. The charge has been made in some communities, and apparently with considerables truth, that the negroes are crowded out of the professions and are forced to confine their energies mainly to menial and mechanical occupations. Kansas City, however, has hitherto given no grounds for such a charge, as the number of negro physicians, teachers and members of other professions clearly evidences; but the further duty is incumbent upon the city administration to afford a fair opportunity for the negro physicians to hold clinics and qualify themselves as far as possible for the safe and successful practice of their profession.

By men who have attended the Missouri State convention in the past, say that the 31st annual convention held at Fulton Oct. 10-13, the most successful in the state's history. Seven of the two hundred or more delegates were colored, representing the schools of Sedalia and Jefferson City, and the city associations of Kansas City and St. Louis. Among the interesting helpful and inspiring conditions noted by the delegates, was the progressiveness and culture of the colored people of Fulton. - Echo meeting of the convention Sunday, Oct. 20 at Y.

A Message of Peace to the Negro Race Standing on the eve of a great campaign one can catch the glimmer and dawn of a new era, of a great political contest. Way down in Bethlehem was born a Nazarene, the wise men came from the East, and beholding the beautiful babe said, "Let there be Peace on earth, good will to men." The sun shone with more splendor upon the black people sending out a message of peace. Peace is the household word of truth, it is the beautiful emblem of a nation's liberty, the goddes of peace is more beautiful than the goddess of war. He who fights with a sword shall perish, but he who chooses peace as his companion shall endure, yet I doubt not thro' the ages one increasing purpose runs, and the thoughts of men are broadened by the process of the sun. Gazing thro' the landscape you can catch a gleam of a golden thread running thro' the centuries pointing to God's masterpiece the world of peace and a perfect civilization. The great conclave of individuals streaming onward towards the great political field have met in a mighty clash, but from this confusion great men have risen up to take charge of affairs. From all sides are coming leaders, who are taking the people and teaching them to lift up their heads higher in the air. Let the secession and strife among the negroes in Kansas City cease. Let every particular and individual negro have one common purpose in view, striving for peace. Peace is a mighty sword along side of sister truth, which cause men to tremble and to turn pale; cause men to choose God as their leader, and the Bible as their sword; cause them to be lifted from the lowly depths of humility, to the higher planes of leadership and generalship. There is no living force within the confines of this universe which can stop the mighty army of peacemakers. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. Speaking of outlay and return for money and time expended in a period of the world's history where everything is reduced to the science of 'high finance,' and when the competition along all lines compels each one to seek for adequate return of dollar for dollar, we doubt if there is a school throughout the country that makes a better practical demonstration of "returns" than does Lincoln Institute. Seven dollars per month, the price of board to the student, is a smaller amount than most young people are well fed upon at home in this day of exorbitant food prices; and the modesty, simplicity and economy required in matters of dress mean auso, that in this line, the student is better and more sensibly clothed, for the money expended than he would be at home; while the lessons gained in matters of food, dress, general hygiene and household economy are invaluable. Six new pianos of good make have just been installed for the use of students who take instrumental music; and when it is recalled that the institution has two separate and distinct departments of music, vocal and instrumental, each presided over by a specialist in her line of work, representing the conservatories of Chicago and others of equal merit, it will be seen that the opportunities here offered for the study of music are first class. Thus it is in each department thoroughness, skill and progress, entitle the entire life of the school. (To be Continued.) SIXTH ANNIVERSARY.

Let all this strife and endless warfare among them come to a sudden termination. The Son a few months ago waged warfare, now all has been quieted upon the ocean, and the Lord said, "Let there be light and there was light, and He spoke to the Billowous Ocean and stillness reigned and behold He said unto Simon and Peter, come ye unto your master as tho' he spoke it today. The same expressions hold true as landmarks of indefinability, something tangible from whence to proceed. The Son fought men to purge away their faults to make them stronger leaders and to put them in their proper status in this community. Oh would that we had ten million tongues and ten million voices proclaiming for the same great object—Peace. We want peace, we want peace. We want peace among our people because there is a great battle to be fought and every individual is needed. A great black wall is being built around us, a great black cloud is gathering over us and a great calamity seems awaiting us. Bear up for the sceptre shall not depart from Judea until Shiloh returns and then there will be a gathering of the people. Oh let us come together upon a high plane of facility and harmony. Let every negro help one another; let us, like the Hebrew children, cry unto God to send among us one who can stem the tide, who can breast the storm and waves and gales of infurious prejudice, and reach up and help the eagle in his flight, and buckle unto him the emblem of America's highest object—Peace. Yes let there come a black Moses, let all warfares cease and let us come to gather with Pox Vobiscum a common understanding.ady. PROF. GEO. M.

When the city has done its day's work and the street lamps are lighted in the evening Samuel A. Templeton, a street preacher, pushes an odd looking three wheeled cart to the corner of Eleventh street and Grand avenue and stations it near the curb in the evening Samuel A. Templeton, a street preacher, pushes an odd looking three wheeled cart to the corner of Eleventh street and Grand avenue and stations it near the curb says the Kansas City Star. The car is his pulpit it Templeton in His CityStar The carl Pulpit. is his pulpit. It has a small seat, a book rest in front and a curved canopy top that serves both as a protection against rain and as a sound reflector. When a crowd appears the old man places a tight fitting cap on his head and with some effort climbs onto the platform. Then he opens the Bible and preaches in a loud voice. Templeton has been a street preacher 13 years, travelling 15,000 rules during that time and visiting 59 states and 400 cities and towns. On this long journey—that began in Scotland when he was 21 years old—he has often suffered hunger and hardship and sometimes met with violence. Scars on his head and face are a record of wounds inflicted by stones and bricks, and he is still lame from an injury he received 25 years ago in the Bowery in New York city when he was knocked down and kicked by ruffians. The wandering preacher is 64 years old and his step is unsteady and his voice husky from much use in the open air. But he says that he is not yet at the end of his travels. A GOSPEL TRUST. Gigantic Plans of the Laymen's Missionary Movement. J. Campbell White, head of the Laymen's Missionary movement has a plan, which he made public at the Wisconsin assembly, to form a corporation to evangelize the world. If carried out successfully it is estimated that all other trusts will pale in comparison. Mr. White proposes to form a missionary trust with stockholders in every state and province in the countries of the civilized world, the vast resources of which will be turned to the work of sending missionaries to convert the heath. So tremendous, it is declared, the power of this movement would be that the paganism of the dark continents of the globe would be wiped out within a single generation. The plan is to issue 10,000,000 shares at $100 each, payable in installments of $5 a year for 20 years; and 1,000,000 shares at $1,000 each, payable $50 a year. With this sum realized, Mr. White asserted, missionaries could be supported in blackest Africa and in the farthest domains of the unclead islands of Oceania. It is estimated that there are at the present time 675,000,000 heathen who have never heard the gospel, requiring a force of 20,000 missionaries to accomplish their evangelization. If every church member would give one car fare a week, it was said, this force could be maintained. The Laymen's Missionary movement organization is nine months old, and already has branches in England and Scotland and has 50 men investigating missionary conditions. INTERESTING BITS Rev. Thomas M. Chalmers has opened up a school in New York for the training of Jewish and Gentile Christian workers. Remarkable success has attended the Bible class at Ocean Grove, N. J., conducted by Dr. L. W. Munhall. On some occasions more than 4,000 persons were present this season. There is said to be a county in Nevada, covering 16,000 square miles, and with a population of several thousand, that has nowhere within its borders even a mission hall in which the gospel is preached. Out of 900,000 Jews in Greater New York only about 26,000 are reported as being connected with the Jewish synagogue. To find a Bible in a Jewish home is a great difficulty. In many homes are to be found the works of Huxley, Darwin and Ingersol. Celebrate Centenary. Sixty thousand Methodists met recently on the top of Mow Cop, England, to celebrate the centenary of Primitive Methodism. The first society class of Primitive Methodists was organized by Bourne, in the little闸堡 of Stanley, which lies under the shadow of Mow Cop. From Bourne's small congregation of ten members has risen a church which has outposts in all parts of the world and owns 5,000 chapels and missions in the British Isles alone. Hebrew Temple Reproduced Joseph Doctorovitz, a teacher of Hebrew and a student of old Jewish institutions, has put on exhibition in New York a complete reproduction of the temple at Jerusalem. It is 15 feet square, and includes the several courts and palaces of the priests. He Lived in Olathe 50 Years. J. B. Mahaffie, known throughout the county as "Uncle Featilie," died at his home at Olathe. He was 90 years old last April and had been a resident of Johnson county 50 years. He was born in Ohio, but came from Renssanbear, Ind. He was one of the promoters of the old Missouri River, Fort Scott & Gulf railroad and was one of the original board of directors. His death leaves John T. Weaver of Olathe the only surviving member of the original board. Dell Keizer Goes to Kansas City. Dell Keizer, until its suspension manager of the Topeka Daily Herald, has gone to Kansas City, Mo., to assume his duties as vice president of the Franklin Publishing company, to which he has lately been elected. Mr. Keizer has had large experience in the publishing business, and his duties at Kansas City will be connected with the business management of the concern in such a way as to call this largely into play. Sold $100,000 Worth of Fruit This Year. The Topeka Commercial club is in receipt of a letter from Mr. C. E. Walton, statistical agent located at Troy, in which he gives an estimate of the small fruits sold in that vicinity during this season. In the towns of Wathena and Blair fruit to the value of $100,000 was grown and sold and the latter town alone shipped 2,986 crates of berries. Mr. Walton estimates that at least half of the fruit crop is lost owing to the early frosts. The Stout Family Reunion In the Pleasant Hill schoolhouse five miles west of Emporia, the Stout family reunion was held as usual this year. This reunion is an annual affair in commemoration of the coming to Kansas of the Stouts from Indiana. Two hundred members of the different branches of the family were in attendance. Grant's Life Certificates. The state board of education has granted the following life certificates to teachers : Weltha E. Lee, Grain field; Emma B. French, Tempe, Ariz. Ellen H. Haworth, Monterey, Mexico; Marsaret Kelly, Lyndon; D. W. Major Medicine Lodge; Grace P. Paschall Arkansas City; Amelia Shanklin, Winfield; Florence L. Shackleford, Hotington; H. K. Vaxfleet, Holton; O. O Young, Canton. Founded 25 Years Ago Emporia college has celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of its formation. A feature of the event was the fact that the synod of Kansas, which was in session at Emporia, attended in a body and materially assisted in the exercises. Another feature was the formal inauguration of Rev. Henry C. Culbertson as president of the institution. Wise Men Take Notice The town of Cherryvale is much excited, and geologists, politicians, horseshoe pitchers and other men of science are rolling phrases across the prairie, according to the Cherryvale Journal. The cause of all this commotion is the finding of an iron bolt embedded in limestone, just above the shale formation near that place. Ten Acres of Potatoes Bring in $800. Dickinson county has something now that beats alfalfa in the way of money making. It is potatoes. E. Haugh, living west of Sand Springs, has a ten-acre field of potatoes that is yielding 80 bushels to the acre. He had a load in town which brought $1 per bushel, totaling $80 per acre or $800 for the small patch. His Wheat Turned Out Well William Thuroy, living five miles east of Macksville, has threshed his 1907 sow of wheat. Last fall he sowed 315 acres and from this ground threshed 9,029 bushels, or a little over 25½ bushels per acre. All the Chapters The Hutchinson News admits having no interest in Gladys Vanderbilt's marriage to a Hungarian count except that it "dreads the approaching accounts of the wedding, the bride's lingerie, the riot at the church, the contemplated divorce proceedings and the return to America in a few years of the lady, accompanied by her big brother." Photographers Elect Officers The State Photographers' association held a three days' session at Lawrence. The next meeting will be held in Topeka. The following officers were elected: C. F. Squires, president, Lawrence; H. L. Wood, first vice president, Hayes City; W. R. Murphy, second vice president, Newton; Max Wolf, secretary, Manhattan. Homer Hardin was recieved treasurer. Interest on Delinquencies A good many editors have talked of charging interest on overdue subscriptions, but the Belleville Freeman is the first Kansas paper to try the experiment. The last issue states that the editor will expect 10 per cent per year on all delinquent accounts. To Close Safina Lodgeroom Bars. Orders have been issued by Mayor Hills, of Safina, to close the bars in all lodge rooms where intoxicating liquors have been sold to the members. OUR FASHION LETTER EXQUISITE TOILETS The tailor is looking forward to a rich harvest. All the coats and skirts, and these represent the style of gown which prevails ubiquitously, show the marks of his handwork, and as I predicted some time ago, every coat is long and well below the hips, some reaching to the knees, while others are even longer. Waistcoats made separately are having some consideration, and these are not always sleeveless, as is the habit of waistcoats. Every material is used to make them, satin being of paramount importance in the scheme. A dark green velvet coat and skirt owe much to the waistcoat of waterblue velvet, and a no less successful combination is a purple cloth dress with a waistcoat of peach colored velvet. Some of the long straight coats exhibit sleeves of a different material the waistcoat being made to match these, and a coat of dark brown velvet looks extremely smart with satin sleeves and vest, the indispensable braid binding putting in its appearance round armholes and hems. This binding of braid is the rule, in silk for the most part, and it is found decorating alike the costume of cloth and the costume of velvet, which owns its cheaper, though scarcely less effective, rival in the costume of velveteen. Many of the velvets have a microir surface, a virtue the manufacturers have also accorded to the velveteen, which may boast of one decided novelty, stripes of equal sizes about one-third of an inch in breadth. This is to be seen in every possible combination of dark colors, the most popular of all the velveteens being black and brown stripes and black and molegray stripes, and these make the smartest costumes bound with silken braid, fashioned in the simplest style, with small sleeves reaching to the wrists, and a stop-collar and rounded ends to the cutaway front. Sometimes these coats are fitted with cloth waistcoats of some contrasting color, buff for choice, and under all circumstances the small V left at the neck by the cutting of the collar is filled in with a jabot cravat of hem-stitched lawn depending from a collar band, and shaped higher at the back than in the front, with a little softer frill outlining the chin. Frilling, by the way, is a revival we have not welcomed for about 15 years, when no costume for morning or afternoon wear was complete without a frilling round the neck and sleeve. This, however, was wont to be made of lisse. Before the days when chiffon ousted it from the position of prime favor amongst diaphanous fabrics, the making of lisse frilling was quite an important industry, and hundreds of different patterns were at our disposal. The little rolled frilling, such as generally associate with the widow's cap, is worn now round the neck and sleeves of after noon gowns, and other frillings show three rows of very tiny kiltings very closely stitched together. The main attraction of this new order is that it compels the cellarband to be shaped accurately to the line of the neck, extending higher at the back than the front, and forming a sort of frame to the face coniently becoming and attractive, and specially so to the bell-shaped hat. Somehow this bell-shaped hat seems to need some such aid for its best conduct. The bell-shaped hat makes a further bold bid for success in beaver, felt, velvet and silk. The latest idea is to line the inside brim with a contrasting color, white, rose-pink, and pale blue all being used for such purposes in hats of brown or mole gray, or purple, while for further trimming there is a large loose crown of silk tied at one side, or a crown covered with a mass of feathers, or a crown formed entirely of bows. It is rumored that skunk is to be amongst the furs of our fashionable fancy, whilst there is some talk of flat bones made of sealskin, lined withermine, sharing our regard with the sable tie. And now a word concerning the costumes displayed in the illustration at the head of our letter. The first is a dress of grace and beauty, in the glorious shade of cerise, its cleverly combined fabrics being chiffon, flint Julia Cloe Paris BOLERO OF IRISH LACE. There is a Sash of Black Satin tied at the back in a bow a La Japonise. net, and appliques of cloth with borderings of soft satin. A softening touch of white comes in the finely tucked chiffon and net of the chemisette and undersleeves, and the huge black hat, crowned by many sweeping ostrich feathers, and having its brim lined with cerise satin is a fitting accompaniment of the toilet. The second dress is of soft gray cloth, the corsage arranged with a square effect in front and becoming cross-over folds at the back, all edged with silken grelottes. A chemisette of tucked white net and lace with a diminutive black bow tie comes above a vest of tawny orange velvet embroidered in greens and gold; while the hat is of the soft gray with quills curving all over the crown, and a brim lining of black satin. What a Woman Did. There is much to be said against the New York cabby, but there are frequent occasions when one is really deserving of sympathy. The other day a cabby drove a well-dressed and refined-locking woman to a Broadway restaurant where she ordered an expensive lunch and then told the waiter that she had lost her purse, but that her cab was waiting, and if he would send a boy with her she would go home for the money. The boy entered the cab with her, and she directed the cabby to drive to a Sixth avenue department store. When they arrived she left the boy in the cab, entred the store to make an imaginary purchase and went out at the opposite entrance. In the hope of getting information about his departed fare cabby drove back to the restaurant accompanied by the brass-buttoned boy, whom he blackguarded all the way for letting the woman escape. The restaurant people discharged the lady for the same reason, and the driver cried quits. a diseased condition of the feminine organs or kidneys, and that aches and pains will continue until the cause is removed. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs has been for many years the most successful remedy in such cases. No other medicine has such a record of cures of feminine hips. Miss Lena Nagel, of 117 Morgan St., Buffalo, N. Y., writes—"I was completely worn out and on the verge of nervous prosecution. My back scabs in the neck I had dreadful periods of pain, was subject to fits of sore and extreme nervousness, and was always weak and tired. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound completely cured me." Lydia E.

If you would see a horse strapped, booted, braced and geared to the limit, you must seek such a track as you see at the old-time country fair. Here comes an awkward flea-bitten gray which never went under 2:50 in his life. He is hobbled and checked and goggled, and hitched up sidewise, lengthwise and crosswise until there is more 'harness than horse. You wonder how his driver ever got him into this rigging, and how he will get him out again without cutting him free with a jackknife. A farmer with a gray beard and twinkling eye observes to his neighbor: "Last time John Martin had that plug out on the road I told him he had the old cripple overloaded with fust-ads-to-the-injured. Them straps that was callated to hoist up his knees must ha' pulled too tight and the critter was yanked clean off the ground. What John was gettin' ready for was a race for flyin' machines, not a hoss trot."—From "The Country Fair," by David Lansing, in Outing. Man Whose Memory Was Bad. For more than an hour a witness for the defense had dodged questions. His faulty memory was particularly exasperating for the counsel for the plaintiff, who was seeking to recall to the witness' recollection an event of four of five years previous. Eventually the man remembered "something about it." "Ah," continued the lawyer for the plaintiff, "what dd you think of it at the time?" "Really," sald the witness, speaking before the lawyer for the defense had time to interpose objection, "it was so long ago I can't recall exactly what I thought of it." "Well," shouted the cross-examiner, excitedly, "if you can't recall, tell us what you think now you thought then." Didn't Need Cyclopedias. The canvasser for a cyclopedia came to the home of a colonel, whose record he had carefully studied before his visit. The colonel was especially proud of some of his sons, so the canvasser began with: "Those are very fine boys of yours, colonel." "They are," replied the colonel. "I reckon you are ready to buy anything those boys want?" "I am so," said the father of the fine boys. "Well, then, let me sell you this cyclopedia. There's nothing will do your sons so much good." But the colonel looked at him aghast. "Why, them lads of mine don't need any cyclopedia. They ride mules!" Reculiar Ice Cave. A summer attraction in Colebrook, N.

Alike, Yet in Many Ways Fundamentally Different, Wit and humor are such elemental fundamental things that it has always been found difficult to analyze them, says a writer in The Atlantic. Upon some points, however, those who have essayed this puzzling task agree, for they all hold that wit is an intellectual, humor an emotional, quality; that wit is a perception of resemblance, and humor a perception of contrast, of discrepancy, of incongruity. The incongruity is that which arises between the ideal and the fact, between theory and practice, between promise and performance; and perhaps it might be added that it is always or almost always a moral incongruity. In the case both of wit and humor there is also a pleasurable surprise, a gentle shock, which accompanies our perception of the hitherto unsuspected resemblance or incongruity. A New England farmer was once describing in the presence of a very humane person the great age and debility of a horse that he formerly owned and used. "You ought to have killed him," interrupted the humane person indignantly. "Well," drawled the farmer "we did—almost." GIVING HIM A CHANCE. Surely Time for Hubby to Do a Lively Sidestep. Mrs. Wilson's husband was often obliged to go to New York on business, and frequently did not reach his home until the arrival of the midnight train. Mrs. Wilson had been in the habit of sleeping peacefully at these times without fear, but a number of burglaries in the neighborhood during one of her husband's trips to New York had disturbed her calm. On the night of his return Mr. Wilson was stealing carefully up the front stairs, as was his wont on such occasions, so that his wife would not be waked, when he heard her voice, high and strained: "I don't know whether you are my husband or a burglar," came the excited tones, "but I am going to be on the safe side and shoot, so if you are Henry you'd better get out of the way."-Youth's Companion. Saw It Come Out of a Cow. A little city boy and his sister Dorothy were taken to the country for the first time. The two children were happy as the day was long. In the late afternoon they watched the cows come home, heard with delight the tinkling cow-bells, and the little boy even went in the barns to see the milking done. At supper, just as Dorothy was lifting her glass to her rosy lips, the boy cried out: "Oh, Dorothy, don't! You mustn't drink that milk. It's not fit to drink it came out of a cow. I saw it!" Peculiar Ornament. An African queen, the second wife of King Lobengula, wears for a head dress on state occasions a carved and decorated bust of her husband's first wife.

The young girl's eyes flashed, and the hot, passionate blood of her forefathers, to say nothing of her own, mantled her cheek with an angry flush. The old man was excited, too. Parent and child confronted each other, and neither qailed. "Do you refuse me that alone which will make me happy?" "Your happiness is very dear to me, my daughter." The old man assumed a lugubrious tone and bowed his head sadly. But the girl, although she was just turned 18, had read a few books and divined the situation at once or sooner. "Do not seek to deceive me, papa." "Child, child it is for your good that I deny your request." The beautiful woman shivered. Her lips curled scornfully or thereabouts. With infinite grace he led her to a seat. He considered it a great endorsement to have things come his way thus. "My child, you said marry." She nodded. "I say elope." She started. "Then I may marry George?" "Most assuredly. But no wedding at home, if you please." He looked at his watch. "Bless you, my daughter. I am willing to pay for a very stylish elopement, but a wedding at home—no, indeed! Tell George not to stint himself on carriage hire and hotel bills. I will cheerfully meet the expense. You may elope sumptuously and I'll furnish the cash, but I can't possibly afford a wedding at home." Like the sensible girl that she was, she consented to the sacrifice after a good long cry.

The District of Columbia was called "Columbia District" and Maine "Maine District." The far Western post offices were in the Louisiana purchase, along the Mississippi river from New Orleans north. The only post offices in what is now the state of Missouri were St. Louis, St. Charles, Ste. Genevieve, Cape Girardeau and New Madrid. The western outpost of civilization, which had the government mail service near the military cantonment of Leavenworth, and the office is now Fort Leavenworth, and it was established in 1828. In the postal guide of 1831, the cantonment of Leavenworth was located "in Clay county, Missouri, on the La Platte river." At that time there was no Platte county in Missouri, and Clay county extended to the Missouri river opposite "Cantonment Leavenworth." Found a Pet of Gold. While working in a field near his home, five miles south of Fordland, in Webster county, a few days ago, Jerome Terrell found $100 in gold near the stump of an old oak tree. The coin was in one, ten and twenty-dollar gold pieces, and the most of it bears date of 1852 and prior thereto. The money was buried in a gourd in 1862 by George and Benjamin Denny, brothers, who lived on the farm at that time. George Denny is still living in Webster county, and the farmer who discovered the long lost coin is his nephew. Terrell has turned the money over to George Denny, who says that he will share equally with his brother's heirs. Wild Grapes Plentiful "Wild grapes as large as tame Concord," is the way grape gatherers are describing the wild fruit growing this year along the banks of the various streams and in the forests of Jasper county. One country visitor has gathered several bushels, and some of them are said to be as large as the average tame grape, but they are sour. He reports an exceedingly large crop and says the vines are breaking with the heavy yield. Other parties returning from fishing trips say that the crop of grapes this year is beyond parallel and their size is described as being all the way from that of a marble to that of a hen egg. How He Beat a Gas Bill. The worm turned in Justice Lemon's court at St. Joseph when W. A. Petre was given judgment against the St. Joseph Gas company for $25. Petre had refused to pay his gas bill of $6.40 and the company sued him. He alleged that because of light pressure his house was not comfortably heated and be caught a severe cold. He presented a counter claim for $100. Wood Alcohol Plant Closed. The Siligo Furnace company at Siligo, has closed its wood alcohol plant and the by-products that have betorefoen been manufactured from the burning of coal now goes up in smoke. The Siligo Furnace company owned the largest wood alcohol plant in the world, and has over $500,000 invested in machinery. For Young Missouri Convicts.

SEEK TO WIN SOLDIERS Russian Girls Risk Life for the Cause of Liberty. "When the university opened last autumn I started to work again among the soldiers," said the young woman. "As you know, the revolutionists are at present working very hard to win over the army, and one of the means is to talk freedom directly to the soldiers. For this girls have been found to be more effective than men; the young peasant soldiers are more willing to listen to girls, and are far readier to protect them from arrest. So all over Russia hundreds and hundreds of girls are now nightly meeting with groups of soldiers, in working men's homes and in barracks. To go into barracks and talk revolution to the soldiers, hardly anything is so dangerous—for the girl caught is tried by court-martial and in a day or two is executed.—From Leroy Scott's Interview with a Russian Woman, in Everybody's."

Dr. Unthank, when seen by a reporter of the Son, said he wasn't particular who got the place, only he would like to see some highclass Negro get the position. There are several Negro physicians in the city who are capable of fulfilling the position. The Son makes bold in stating that out of the many candidates for the job, the man who got it should be judged from the standpoint of party-fealty, party-regularity, insomuch as he is of strength to the party. Some of the doctors who are candidates have been very active in the political campaign for the last six or seven years. Let the place come to the well deserving and the doctor who has not been afraid to get down among the common people and do his duty to the party.

Mr. Eugene Vaughan is now collector for the Rising Son, and has done remarkable work since acquiring that position. The people should give the young man their support and encourage him in a general manner to get subscriptions. Mr. Vaughan will devote a portion of next week in the Kansas City, Kansas, district. We hope that the people over there will be as liberal as they were in Kansas City, Mo., where they have been paying up their subscriptions regularly.

Ramsey, one of Kansas City's foreign physicians, has taken out his naturalization papers and is now entitled to vote and forthwith included among the colored politicians. This department which was recently enlarged now occupying over 10,000 square feet of space in the Basement--has already made its place felt in hundreds of Kansas City homes because of the remarkable values, the excellent grades of merchandise, no matter how low the price, and the wide and varied assortments of the lines shown. If you are at all interested in keeping expenses down, you cannot afford to miss the exceptional buying opportunities this department constantly affords.

Buy the Ingredients from Any Drug gist in Your Town and Shake Them in a Bottle to Mix. This. A well known authority on Rhonmatics gives the readers of a large New York daily paper the following valuable, yet simple and harmless prescription, which any one can easily prepare at home: Fluid Extract Dandellon, one half ounce; compound Kerosan, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. He states that the ingredients can be obtained from any good prescription pharmacy at small cost, and, being a vegetable extraction, are harmless to take. This pleasant mixture, if taken regularly for a few days, is said to overcome almost any case of Rheumatism. The pain and swelling, if any, diminishes with each dose, until permanent results are obtained, and without injuring the stomach. While there are many so-called Rheumatism remedies, patent medicines, etc., some of which do give relief, few really give permanent results, and the above will no doubt, be greatly appreciated by many sufferers here at this time. Inquiry at the drug stores of even the small towns affects the information that these drugs are harmless and can be bought separately, or the drunksters will mix the prescription if asked to. THE KISS IN JAPAN. One Western Idea That Is Popular with Eastern Maidens. She was a Japanese college student, little and thin, but very graceful in her Paris cown. "The kiss," she said, blushing faintly, "was unknown in Japan 50 years ago. Now, among the mistocracy, it is becoming quite renowned. "Yet it comes as a great shock at first. It is so different, you know, from anything in a Japanese girl's experience. I have known midsudens who fainted at a first kiss that was perhaps too warmly tendered. Yet these very maids became afterward ardent advocates of the new western embrace. "Frankly, I like the kiss myself. Its stimulus, and the feeling, as of red satin, when mouth touches mouth with a warm, soft shock—yes, frankly, I like the kiss, and I find it extremely difficult to deny an eager young man so innocent and so delightful lightful an embrace. BABY WASTED TO SKELETON In Torments with Terrible Sores on Face and Body—Tore at Flesh —Cured by Cuticura. "My little son, when about a year and a half old began to have sores come out on his face. They began to come on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad I had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton and was hardly able to walk. I sent to the drug store and got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since, and only for the Cuticura Remedies my precious child would have died from these terrible sores. I use only one cake of Soap and about three boxes of Ointment. Mrs. Ebert Sheldon, R. F. D. No. 1, Woodville, Conn. April 22, 1905." Reason This Out An English quarryman was charged with assaulting one of his mates, and when the case was carried into court an eye-witness of the occurrence gave some curious evidence. "He tuk a pick an' he tuk a pick," the witness began, "an' he hit him wid his pick, an' he hit him wid his pick; an' if he'd hit him wid his as hard as he hit him wid his, he'd have near killed him, and not him him." 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.

In a fit of melancholia, "Billie Scrooges," a little wolf, homeless and a wanderer, committed suicide by jumping off the ledge on the eighth story, just under the coping of the Evening Star building. Billie acted strangely all day. He did not run around with his characteristic abandon, making friends with the newsboys, and this excited comment. Unobserved, he climbed the stairs in the newspaper building. It was pleasant to sit high above the madding, rushing crowd below, far above the reach of old shoes, tin cans and firecrackers. But, alone and undisturbed by curse or kick, his melancholia grew, and with face upturned toward the new moon, hanging clear above the post office tower, he howled pleasantly. Finding no solace, he paused up and down, and his agitation grew when in an agonized moment he saw little Jimmy in the street below, and leaped. Pedestrians passing the corner stopped suddenly as his little body hit the pavement with a thud. Two young ladies of romantic disposition who were passing at the time were deeply affected by the scene, and were all a dutter, one of them exclaiming: "I wonder was it live or just his." The little body hurling through the air narrowly missed several persons, and the suicide created something of a sensation. A great crowd congregated and curses in life were turned to sympathetic, kindly words in death, as "billie" breathed his last. MUCH ABUSED SHARK. $1,000 Reward for Proof That One Ever Ate a Man. The sharks of the oceans are the most abused and most hated of all creatures. There are more absurd stories concerning their ferocity, more difficult nonsense about the contents of their bellies, than would fill a large volume. The late Herman Oelrichs once offered $1,000 for an authentic case of anyone being killed and eaten by a "man eater"—and no one has yet been able to get the money. I have myself offered several times to duplicate the reward, but met upon each occasion with such showers of "authentic" case s—none of which was proved—that I gave the matter no further consideration. That a shark will not attack a man in the water is manifestly too much to say, for at certain seasons vast hordes of schools of these pests, or rather servengers, will "strike" at almost anything that is dropped into the sea. These littoralals are fierce from hunter and a small fish, which a man could easily pick up and whirl about his head—a common way of killing a shark along the southern coast—will strike savagely, probably at a man or any other living body which offers something in the way of food. So also will the honito, or one of the mackal tribe—Technical World. Potomac Filling Up. The filling up of the channel of the Potomac above the new bridges has been very rapid in the past two years, the depth having been reduced from about 22 feet to less than 18 feet, and in the tidal basin, it is stated, the deposits of sediment have caused an even more rapid decrease in the depth of the water. A few years ago the smaller tugs were able to get into the tidal basin and cruise about without danger of going aground, and on several occasions the harbor police boat Viillant, in breaking up the ice on the basin, traversed it from end to end. At that time there was about six feet of water in the basin at the lowest tides, and six or seven feet could be found at the inlet where the basin and river connect. Recent measurements, it is stated, found less than three feet in the center of the basin, and it is so shoal at the entrance that but few of the tugs employed on the river can pass through it without sticking in the mud. The rivermen are at a loss for the cause of the rapid filling of the basin and channels in the vicinity of this city. Some ascribe it to the fact that the sand and gravel diggers, several of which were constantly at work above the Long Bridge until within the past three years, do not now keep a good depth of water close to shore and thus give a place where much of the sediment may settle. The channel above the bridges and the tidal basin are to be dredged within the next few months. Optimistic Tommy When the seventh son was born, there was great rejoicing. Two or three days after the event, one of the neighbors, meeting Tommy, the oldest son, asked if he were not sorry that his baby brother was not a baby sister. Tommy shook his head. "No ma'am, not me!" he replied with great decision. "Y' see we're tryin' for a baseball nine"—Everybody's Magazine. Find Belics of Old Race: Prof. Harlan L. Smith, of the American Museum of Natural History, who with a party of assistants from the faculty of the University of Michigan went to Wyoming to explore the great fossil valleys, found evidences of the existence of several large villages whose inhabitants antedate the American Indian, possibly by many centuries. Many ancient burial mounds were unearthed. The Capture of Jericho Sunday School Lesson for Oct. 20, 1907 Specially Prepared for This Paper LESSON TEXT.—Joshua 6: 8-20. Mem- LESSON TEXT.—Joshua 6: 20.

Comment and Suggestive Thought. The Right of Israel to the Land.—The representation of the books of Joshua, Judges (2:2), and of Deuteronomy is that the conquest of Canaan was in accordance with the plan and the command of God. And God always does and always commands only what is right. But how could it be right for one nation to drive another from their homes and destroy them? Distinguish between a command of God to do a thing and the way some people execute the command. History abounds in good things done in a wicked way. We can approve of the doing, while condemning the way it was done. The Fall of Jericho.—"And it came to pass," etc. Better. "And it was according as Joshua said" in the previous verses of the chapter. The plan of the attack was for all the men of war (v. 3) to march around the city once a day for six days, and on the seventh day to march around it seven times, the last time with a long blast of the trumpets and a great shout from all the men when the walls were to fall. From the whole account we learn the order of procession. From whatever different sources the present account may have been drawn, the story is one harmonious statement of the facts. The order of march seems to have been as follows: First. A vanguard of armed men who marched in silence at the head of the procession (vs, 9, 10). They were to utter no vanguardious speeches—such as Gollah did when he met David, and De bohun at Bannockburn—to give no answer to the taunts which the men on the walls may have thrown at them. It was an ominous, portentous silence "as deep as eternity," "silence that oppresses with too great a weight," the silence in the center of the cyclone before it bursts forth in its career of devastation. Second. Vs. 8, 13. Then followed a company of seven priests, doubtless in their rich, priestly garments, showing to the Jericho people on the walls that what they were doing was in the service and with the power of Jebahah, who had made a path for the israelites through Jordan. These were blowing "trumpets of rams" horns," the jubilee trumpets, the kind that ushered in the new year (Lev. 33:24) and announced the year of jubilee (Lev. 25:9). These were like the bands which lead processions in our day with marching music to which the people keep step. Third. After these came the Ark of the Covenant borne by priests, the Ark which stood in the river-bed while the people were crossing, the Ark which showed that the Lord God was leading and defending them, but on condition that the israelites kept their part of the covenant. Fourth. After these came the (v. 13) "reeward," i.e., rear guard, consisting of the rest of the men of Israel marching in silence around the city. No sign of triumph was to be raised, no words of rejoicing over the foe, nor of conscious strength. But in solemn, reverent silence, as if God alone was speaking to them, in meditation and silent prayer they were to move around the city. For Six Successive Days—V. 14 This was trying to their faith, and may have seemed to some to be a hopeless waste of time. Some one of the seven days must have been a Sabath, and the action a breaking of the Sabath; but it was a solemn, religious service, and no more broke the Sabath than does the marching of the Salvation Army to draw men to their meetings. The Seventh Day—7s. 15, 16, 20. On this day the circuit was made seven times in succession. At the seventh time, while the men were still somewhere around the city walls, but probably not wholly surrounding the city, the signal was given as announced (v. 5) by a long blast of the trumpets, different from the marching music, and all the men (v. 20) "shouted with a great shout." The orientals take a peculiar delight in noise. "When our people are in dead earnest, they are generally silent; but the more in earnest an oriental is, the louder he shouts. Even Arab boatmen, when in great danger, and every man is doing his utmost in struggling with the waves, will waste a lot of strength and breath in shouting."—Hon. Selah Merrill. Practical Points. The capture of Jericho illustrates the means by which the victory can be gained. Sin entrenched in our hearts, the evil passions, selfishness, and all the works of the flesh described in Gal 5:19-21, form a Jericho to be conquered for the kingdom of Christ with its beautitudes and commandments. Here is the greatest and most glorious conquest ever presented to man, under the greatest leader, with the greatest rewards, calling forth the best qualities, issuing in the best blessings to man. "BOO-HOO" Shouts a Spanked Baby. A Young Composer. Rachel, aged 12, wrote an composition on wild flowers in which she praised the arbutus, the liverwort, the spring beauty, the blood root, and all of the other blossoms of dell and dale. But she wrote on both sides of her sheet of paper, and when she asked her father, who was an editor, to publish her article, he called her attention to that fact. "You've written on both sides of your paper," said he. "Well," was the reply, "and don't you print on both sides of yours?" ALL THINGS IN PROPORTION. Invalid's Meal Evidently Had Not Increased Good Humor. For many weeks the irritable merchant had been riveted to his bed by typhoid fever. Now he was convalescing. He clamored for something to eat, declaring that he was starving. "To-morrow you may have something to eat," promised the doctor. The merchant realized that there would be a restraint to his appetite, yet he saw, in vision, a modest, steaming meal placed at his bedside. "Here is your dinner," said the nurse next day, as she gave the glowing patient a spoonful of tapioca pudding, "and the doctor emphasizes that everything else you do must be in the same proportion." Two hours later the nurse heard a frantic call from the bed chamber. "Nurse," breathed the man heaply, "I want to do some reading, bring me a postage stamp." HAVE CRAZE FOR FORMULA. Smokers Follow Fashions in the Use of Tobacco. "Make me up a package of tobacco according to the formula used by Edwin Booth," said the man with a southern accent. "That is the third man who has asked for that kind of tobacco to-day," said the dealer. "It is strange that people from remote parts of the country as well as New Yorkers make a fad of buying the same brand of tobacco that Booth smoked. And it isn't always the Booth mixture that they want. I have fled away the formulas for mixing the favorite tobacco of many famous persons. Smokers the country over have heard of this collection of recipes and one feature of every man's trip to New York is to try a pipeful of some big man's favorite tobacco. In most cases this special mixture is so strong that the nerves of the average smoker cannot stand it. He has to give up after a few pipefills and go back to a popular mixture, but he has the satisfaction of having had the experience."—The New York Sun. A Doctor of Divinity, now Editor of a well-known Religious paper, has written regarding the controversy between Collier's Weekly and the Religious Press of the Country and others, including ourselves. Also regarding suits for libel brought by Collier's against us for commenting upon its methods. These are his sentiments, with some very emphatic words left out. "The religious Press owes you a debt of gratitude for your courage in showing up Collier's Weekly as the "Yell-Oh Man." Would you care to use the inclosed article on the "Boo Hoo Baby" as the "Yell-Oh Man's successor?" "A contemporary remarks that Collier's has finally run against a solid hickory "Post" and been damaged in its own estimation to the tune of $750,000.00." "Here is a publication which has, in utmost disregard of the facts, spread broadcast damaging statements about the Religious Press and others and has suffered those false statements to go uncontradicted until, not satisfied after finding the Religious Press too quiet, and peaceful, to resent the insults, it makes the mistake of wandering into fresh field and butts its rathed head against this Post and all the World laughs. Even Christians smile, as the Post suddenly turns and gives it back a dose of its own medicine." "It is a mistake to say all the World laughs. No cheer laugh comes from Collier's, but it cries and boo hooks like a spanked baby and wants $750,000.00 to soothe its tender, lacerated feelings." "Thank Heaven it has at last struck a man with "back bone" enough to call a spade a "spade" and who believes in telling the whole truth without fear or favor." Perhaps Collier's with its "umtown disregard for the facts" may say no such letter exists. Nevertheless it is on file in our office and is only one of a mass of letters and other data, newspaper comments, etc., denouncing the "yellow" methods of Collier's. This volume is so large that a man could not well go thru it under half a day's steady work. The letters come from various parts of America. Usually a private controversy is not interesting to the public, but this is a public controversy. Collier's has been using the "yellow" methods to attract attention to itself, but, jumping in the air, cracking heels together and yelling "Look at me" wouldn't suffice, so it started out on a "Holier Than Thou" attack on the Religious Press and on medicine. We leave it to the public now, as we did when we first resented Collier's attacks, to say whether, in a craving for sensation and circulation, its attacks do not amount to a systematic mercenary hounding. We likewise leave it to the public to say whether Collier's, by its own policy and meth- The "Mound City." St. Louis rejoices in the sobriquet of Mound City from the fact that the original settlers found there many elevations which it is supposed were relies of that strange people who dwelt in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys and are known to modern times only as the Mound Builders. No adequate explanation has yet been found of their strange mode of leaving memorials of their existence. The limestone bluces on which a part of St. Louis stands furnish a solid foundation for the business buildings. Held Up. "Stop!" shouted the man on the country road, holding up a warning hand. Muttering something about rural cops, the automobilist obeyed. "Turn around and come back to town with me," said the stranger. "You were going at least 35 miles an hour." "You're a constable, I suppose," said the automobilist, with a covert sneer, when they had reached the village. "Me?" replied the passenger. "No, I'm a farmer and had to come into town when all the teams was busy. Nice growing weather? Thanks. Goodby." Ensuing comment is purposely omitted.—Philadelphia Public Ledger. Belling a Rat. You have probably read or heard that the best way to rid a house of rats is to catch one and fasten a bell about its neck. A boy in Delaware tried the experiment two months ago. He was badly bitten in making the bell fast, but he turned the rat loose and expected the tinkling of that bell would have great results. It did have. In the first place, the rat who wore it was constantly on the move all night, and the tinkling bell kept the family awake, and in the next the sounds brought scores of new rats to the house. Instead of being afraid of the bell, they were charmed with the music. Had the boy tied a harmonica to another rat's tail, the rodents would have had a dance every night. She Was Willing. "Yes," says the husband, "I have consented to accept the nomination." "I am so glad the party is beginning to recognize your merit," beams the wife. "Now my dear," the husband continues, "you know that political affairs are not love feasts, by any means. You must expect to see me vilified and attacked in a scandalous manner. No doubt the opposition will try to dig up sensational rumors about me, and all that sort of thing, but you must not——" "Well," she interrupts, "I am really glad of it. You have always been strangely silent about whether or not you ever were engaged to anyone before you met me." ods, has not made itself more ridiculous than any comment of ours could make it. Does Collier's expect to regain any self-inflicted loss of prestige by demonstrating thru suits for damages, that it can be more artful in evading liability for libels to the humble but resentful victims of its defamation, or does it hope for starting a campaign of libel suits to silence the popular indignation, reproach and resentment which it has aroused. Collier's can not dodge this public controversy by private law suits. It can not postpone the public judgment against it. That great jury, the Public, will hardly blame us for not waiting until we get a petit jury in a court room, before denouncing this prodigal detractor of institutions founded and fostered either by individuals or by the public, itself. No announcements during our entire business career were ever made claiming "medicinal effects" for either Postum or Grape-Nuts. Medicinal effects are results obtained from the use of medicines. Thousands of visitors go thru our entire works each month and see for themselves that Grape-Nuts contains absolutely nothing but wheat, barley and a little salt; Postum absolutely nothing but wheat and about ten percent of New Orleans Molasses. The art of preparing these simple elements in a scientific manner to obtain the best food value and flavor, required some work and experience to acquire. Now, when any publication goes for enough out of its way to attack us because our advertising is "medical," it simply offers a remarkable exhibition of ignorance or worse. We do claim physiological or bodily results of favorable character following the adoption of our suggestions regarding the discontinuance of coffee and foods which may not be keeping the individual in good health. We have no advice to offer the perfectly healthful person. His or her health is evidence in itself that the beverages and foods used exactly fit that person. Therefore, why change? But to the man or woman who is alling, we have something to say as a result of an unusually wide experience in food and the result of proper feeding. In the palpably ignorant attack on us in Collier's, appeared this statement,—"One widely circulated paragraph labors to induce the impression that Grape-Nuts will obviate the necessity of an operation in appendicitis. This is lying and potentially deadly lying." In reply to this exhibition of—well let the reader name it, the Postum Co., says: Let it be understood that appendicitis results from long continued disturbance in the intestines, caused primarily by undigested starchy food. A small boy who had recently passed his fifth birthday was riding in a car with his mother, when they were asked the customary question: "How old is the boy?" After being told the correct age, which did not require a fare, the conductor passed on to the next person. The boy sat quite still as if pondering over some question, and then, concluding that full information had not been given, called loudly to the conductor, then at the other end of the car: "And mother's 31!" A Definition of Success. How have the hypothetical scientists and the exponents of unbelief benefited themselves or humanity at large by sowing the seeds of doubt broadcast in the world? The real scientists do not fall in this category, for they are believers in the real sense of the word; they know too much, they have seen too many mysterious manifestations of the Divine creative power. Now, those who have disposed of the Bible and all evidences of inspiration, have written a great many books and some of them have won what the world at large lightly calls fame. According to the ordinary measures that are applied in such cases, they have been extremely successful, but real success means the benefit of humanity in some form or other. If no such benefits can be shown as the result of their labors, their success is not equal to that achieved by the direst poverty and the deepest ignorance. — Joel Chandler, in Uncle Remus' Magazine. WHEN A "HUNCH" HELD GOOD. Chinese Laundry Ticket Suggested a Bet on "Wing Ting." Kay Spence, a well-known horseman of Mexico, Mo., won $1,000 at the Louisville, Ky., race meeting a short time ago as the result of a "hunch." Mr. Spence has a large breeding stable of "runners" near Mexico, and attends all the big racing events in the country. Not long since he was in Louisville and entered the betting ring to see what odds were being offered on the various entries. He found that Joaquin was the favorite at even money, and pulled his wallet from his pocket, intending to bet on that horse. His attention was attracted by something that fell from his wallet to the ground, and he stooped and picked it up. It was a Chinese laundry ticket. He looked at the "books" again and found that there was an entry with a Chinese name Wing Ting, at ten to one. That set tled it, for he considered he had received a "hunch" that could not be overlooked. Wing Ting won handily. Needless to say, those who backed the favorite considered Spence the seventh son of the seventh son—Kansas City Star. such as white bread, potatoes, rice, partly cooked cereals and such. Starchy food is not digested in the upper stomach but passes on into the duodenum, or lower stomach and intestines, where, in a healthy individual, the transformation of the starch into a form of sugar is completed and then the food absorbed by the blood. But if the powers of digestion are weakened, a part of the starchy food will lie in the warmth and moisture of the body and decay, generating gases and irritating the mucous surfaces until under such conditions the whole lower part of the alimentary canal, including the colon and the appendix, becomes involved. Disease sets up and at times takes the form known as appendicitis. When the symptoms of the trouble make their appearance, would it not be good, practical, common sense, to discontinue the starchy food which is causing the trouble and take a food in which the starch has been transformed into a form of sugar in the process of manufacture? This is identically the same form of sugar found in the human body after starch has been perfectly digested. Now, human food is made up very largely of starch and is required by the body for energy and warmth. Naturally, therefore, its use should be continued, if possible, and for the reasons given above it is made possible in the manufacture of Grape-Nuts. In connection with this change of food to bring relief from physical disturbances, we have suggested washing out the intestines to get rid of the immediate cause of the disturbance. Naturally, there are cases where the disease has lain dormant and the abuse continued too long, until apparently only the knife will avail. But it is a well-established fact among the best physicians who are acquainted with the details above recited, that preventative measures are far and away the best. Are we to be condemned for suggesting a way to prevent disease by following natural methods and for perfecting a food that contains no "medicine" and produces no "medicinal effects" but which has guided literally thousands of persons from sickness to health? We have received during the years past upwards of 25,000 letters from people who have been either helped or made entirely well by following our suggestions, and they are simple. If coffee disagrees and causes any of the alliments common to some coffee users quit it and take on Postum. If white bread, potatoes, rice and other starch foods make trouble, quit and use Grape-Nuts food which is largely predigested and will digest. nourish and strengthen. when other forms of food do not. It's just plain old common sense. "There's a Reason for Postum and Grape-Nuts. Postum Cereal Co., Ltd.

"Cleanliness is next to Godliness," is the brewery motto, and is adhered to with religious fidelity.
