G. N. GRISHA' AND PROF. SHELTON FRENCH. INTRODUCTORY SPEECH BY I. I. M. HORTON OF THE LOCAL COMMITTEE. EXTRACTS OF THE SPEECHES OF THE EVENING. BISHOP GRANT, PRESIDENT OF ST. TE ORGANIZATION OF NEGROES SCORES BEN TILLMAN. After reviewing the incident of the Alton tragedy Prof G. N. Grisham said that that event was but one among a series of events indicating the irreconcilable conflict between the free and slave states of America. The South, alarmed by the Nat. Turner insurrection, irritated by British emancipation two years later, and enraged by the ominous activity of the abolitionists, was doing everything possible to maintain and extend slavery. The period from 1831 to 1841 was a period of strong feeling, of bitter discussion and of mob violence. The abolitionist, while they represented the conscience of this nation pitted against its selfishness, 19th century enlightenment against mediaevalism, civilization against a survival of barbarism, and humanity against oppression, had to pay the price of all leaders of reform movements. They were hated and maligned and persecuted both north and south. James G. Burney was driven from Kentucky because he freed his slaves and advocated emancipation. Pennsylvania Hall, built and dedicated by the abolitionists in Philadelphia, was burned to the ground after three days' use. William Lloyd Garrison was dragged through the streets of Boston and imprisoned for the awful crime of expressing his opinions. Abolitionist meetings were broken up by mobs in all the leading cities of the north and the houses of defenseless Negros were destroyed without any effort on the part of the civil authorities to offer even the semblance of protection. Mindful of such outrages, Ellijah P. Lovejoy said to the St. Louis committee that urged him to keep still: "I have sworn eternal hostility to slavery and I cannot turn back." Then his troubles began. His press was destroyed. He himself, to use his own language, "was hunted like a partridge upon the mountains." His first demand was freedom for the poor oppressed Negro, but he was soon driven to ask for free speech, freedom of the press and finally protection to life and property. He got nothing he asked for. He fell and the mob triumphed but the principles he fought for and died for are winning their way not only in America but in the world at large. How can the Negro prove his gratitude? Let him continue to grow in worth and worthiness; let him become a free man and a good citizen. Let him hold on to what he has and ever contend for all that justly belongs to him. He has had great friends in the past and has good friends now. He can not hope to stand alone. Let him make alliances. By dint of intelligence and manly insistence he may hope ultimately for a larger measure of right and protection than he now enjoys. President Shelton French began his speech thus: The history of the human race is the rise and fall of nations. All nations rise and fall in proportion as they see and do the right or choose to do wrong. History proves that the growth and development of a race, people or nation is slow, but permanent. Large volumes gravitate almost imperceptibly; and, the mills of justice and equity grind slow, but they grind exceedingly fine. Not otherwise is it when truth and right have a hearing at their day in court. It is inevitably true that all human rights are brought about by reformation and revolution. Our rights as a distinctive race within this cosmopolitan nation must not be waged for by the sword on the field of carnage.—suicidal extinction, Ours must be an irrepressible, but, bloodless conflict. By being honest and temperate, industrious and economical, brave and intelligently resentful, from the pulpit and new, rostrum and stump, in and parliaments, with irresistible force of logic with pen, and invincible and eloquent argument with Friendship, Love and Truth The building committee of the five Lodges of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows will give their third annual Public Demonstration and Entertainment in Convention Hall, Thanksgiving November 28, 1907 A Punch Bowl Set for the Most Beautiful Married Lady and a Silver Manucuring Set for the Most Beautiful Single Lady. At 2:30 p.m. a grand street parade of principal streets ending at the Hall. A concert will be held from 3:30 until 5:30 in the afternoon. Doors open for evening Entertainment at 7:30 p.m. Competitive Drills for Cash Prizes between St. Louis, Topeka, Atchison, St. Joseph and the two Kansas Cities. Patriarchies Drill at 8:30 sharp. Grand March at 9:00 sharp. Voting booths open from 10 to 11:30. Winners in the Beauty Contest will be announced at 12 o'clock voice—we must protest loud, long and often. It must be the voice of one crying in the wilderness, "Make straight the paths of an oppressed people." The name, Luther, stands for religious reformation; Howard for prison reform; Wilberforce, for British Negro freedom; Garibaldi, for Italian civil liberty; George Washington, for American constitutional liberty; and, that of Elijah Parrish Lovejoy stands for your and my physical, political and constitutional freedom, rights and opportunities—the chance to be a man, a manly man and a womanly woman among men and women whither soever dispersed about the globe. Lovejoy, in his life, spirit and sentiments lived for this; and in his death he died a heroic martyr in order that his convictions and teachings might live, and that we might become the happy recipients of the fruition of his labor. It's opportune and expedient that we pause here a moment for the purpose of erecting in our hearts an imperishable monument; and, build at our firesides an eternal altar in commemoration of the life and sacrifices of this great heroic character, this unselfish man, this pre-eminent commoner, this apostle of American Negro freedom—ever to be known as a man with a single idea. Lovejoy stood, not only in mortal danger, but he stood almost alone in battling for the principles of freedom that moved his heart. Did I say stood alone? No, No! Our Christ and a legion of invisible hosts in flery charots were around and aboua him, giving him courage and inspiration. Although he died, his teachings lived, drenched the nation in blood; and, made free 4,000,000 of slaves. Hence, on last Thursday, Nov. 7 our people everywhere observed Loves joy Day, the 70th anniversary of his tragic death. He was educated for the ministry, but drifted into journalism. His first paper was the "St. Louis Observer" published in St. Louis, Mo. For an offensive, anti-slavery editorial he was forced to remove to Alton, Ill., where he published the "Observer," in which he severely and mercilessly attacked clavery, and thus became a marked and obnoxious, though fearless, abolitionist. His first three presses were destroyed by proslavery, hybred monsters. Undaunted, the people provided him a fourth press. At midnight, Nov. 7, 1837, Elijah Parrish Lovejoy, at the early age of 35, full of vigor, and at the height of a frenzled ambition, was shot to death while attempting to defend his rights in protecting his property—this last press—the gift of admiring friends. We do not believe this to mean all white men, or yellow men, or red men, or brown men, or black men—but all men. We believe the apostle Peter when he said, "I perceive of a truth that of one blood of God creates all men." Mark you, again, all men. And, we believe in the sentiments of the Scottish poet, "A man's a man, for a that, and a that." They have said that when the Negro became educated, went into business, owned property and had a bank account, he would come into his own. But they now say that education and wealth only unfit him for the place they have so carefully fixed and provided for him in our body politic. Of our religion, they say it is purely emotional without any deep set principles, or fixity of purpose. I do not believe that education, wealth, or even Christianity, alone will solve our problem. This is our problem, ours by inheritance, ours by environment, and ours for solution. I believe that the above mentioned elements or equations, if harmoniously blended and correctly pursued, will in the end give the desired result.

The occasion was enjoyed by all. NOTICE. The supporters of Dr. J. E. Dibble wish to announce to their opponents that they have refrained from making a dirty fight because it was the wish of Dr. Dibble to make a high class campaign and he has kept them from throwing mud, but if the other side persist then his supporters will do the same. Though Dr. Dibble has kept them from throwing mud they will do it anyway. PROF. GEO. M. JACKSON AND HIS FAMOUS 23RD REGIMENT BAND, OF TOPEKA, KANSAS, HAS BEEN SECURED FOR CONVENTION HALL AT THE ODD FELLOWS THIRD ANNUAL DEMONSTRATION, AT THIS TIME THE BEAUTY CON TEST WILL BE DECIDED, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LADY WILL HAVE THE HONOR OF LEADING THE GRAND MARCH AND BEESIDES THE PRIZE SHE WILL GET, SHE WILL RECEIVE A HANDSOME BOUQUET. For the MODISH WOMAN BROWN FELT FOR WEAR WITH TAILOR MADE GOWNS FALL GOWN IN GRID STYRED MATERIAL CRUMMED WITH BLACK SANTIN BRANDS CHARMING HAT OF SOFT FELT COSTUME OF SELF-COAT, SACQUE, SHARP COAT A CLOSE HAT TRUMMED IN OSTRICH PLUMES With the coming of fall the bride has again made her appearance in all her loveliness, and there is a fresh array of new and beautiful frocks in the contemplation of which women never tire. Satin sometimes velled with lace is at the moment the favorite wedding robe, although the robe of one fashionable bride of the east was made of a superb panne velvet trimmed with old family point lace and a large lace shawl veil added to the richness of the costume. Of course it takes either a tall or a full figure to properly carry such rich materials, and the petite or thin bride would do well to wear a chiffon or other filmy down and a tulle veil. Such frocks can be exquisitely embroidered and be quite as beautiful and far more suitable for the thin or short girl than velvet. No matter how simple the bridal gown itself may be, there is a large field of choice in the matter of the attendant's frocks, and a party of bridesmaids may be gowned in different colors or shades of the same color, or if a matron of honor or a maid of honor, or both, are added to bridesmaids, there is a still greater chance to display artistic taste and originality. If there is to be extreme simplicity to the wedding gowns, then a house wedding or a small church would seem the proper thing; but if a large church wedding, with a long invitation list included in the program, then let there be as novel and beautiful garments and other accessories to the pageant as is consistent with good taste—and a lot more is consistent than the hidebound lower of the commonplace is usually willing to admit. The French adhere strictly to the jeme fille idea in dressing their brides, the simplest frocks and usually tulle veils, but their girl brides are quite different from ours, and so is the whole social scheme. It behooves the American woman to exercise her originality in the matter of dress, if she have it, and not only to select the best of the English and continental fashions, but to add touches of her own and add originality to the scheme or to evolve new designs. But other apparel must be considered besides the bridal outfittings and we must needs turn to the tailor-made costumes. As a general statement we would say that the skirts are shorter and the coats are longer, although with the long coat a short skirt does not look well. The skirt that just touches the ground is permissible, and long princess coats in cloth are made just above the ankles. Then on the other hand the halflength coat is equally popular. Checks are popular, and are used extensively by leading tailors in rather somber mixtures that lend themselves admirably to the braiding which is such a marked feature of the Viennese tailor-made. Another delightful trimming, and one that is gladly welcomed with the first touch of autumn, is velvet. Velvet collars are used even on riding habits, and some of the smartest cloth dresses are strapped with it. The coming of autumn has brought with it a revival of satin trimmed with cloth, and very noticeable in a crowd is an evening gown of copper-colored satin trimmed with gold and shaded embroideries, with an introduction of real lace at the deco age and long lace sleeves. I am quite certain that sleeves will change very much in evening dress, and their importance cannot be over-estimated, for upon them very often depends the success of a frock. The picture-sleeve is always pretty in the picture frock for country house wear, but the best dinner gowns show but little sleeve. I think one of the most becoming sleeves is the trelliswork of chenille, studded, perhaps, with jet, and edged with a fringe. The shape of the arm is very often ruined by an ill-fitting sleeve. The manipulation of the sleeve, therefore, should receive most careful attention. No woman looks well dressed unless she knows how to put on her clothes; the best dressmaker in the world cannot invest the wearer with the meaning of the gown. As to hats, I should like to point out one or two important changes which have taken place in the millinery world since last season. We have completely done away with hat brims which are longer at the back than the front, and we no longer hide the back of our necks! Cloche hats—even those in mushroom form—are still very fashionable, but they are no longer exaggerated in outline and they are worn on the head. And then we are becoming very enthusiastic ever the M. A. Design for an Evening Gown. cavalier hat, turned up at one side and trimmed with handsome feathers or with immense clusters of flowers. Black taffeta hats bound with black silk braid are possessed of much charm. In this connection the braid is always wide and rather coarse in texture; it forms an important binding for the cloche brim and is the best of taste with tailor-made costumes. For afternoon wear we shall have many of the best hats edged, or bound, with fur, and already I have seen sealskin used in this way—with excellent results. As a final word on heads and hats let me just say that the great object of the fashionable woman of the hour is to have her hair and hat in complete accord. It must either be that the hair is dressed out to meet the hat or that the hat is crushed in to meet the hair; whichever be the method chosen the result must be perfect harmony of outline. Hats are smaller than they were last season, and—heads decidedly larger! Persian Easy to Learn. Persian is said to be not a very difficult language. The modern Persian is very much like the English in its sensible rejection of the inflections that burden so many of the world's tongues. There is no difference of termination to mark the gender, either in nouns or adjectives, and all inauntate things are neuter. In other ways the Persian conforms to the English. TEACH BY EXAMPLE TEACH BY EXAMPLE GOOD METHOD OF INSTILLING "TABLE MANNERS." Children Will Unconsciously Copy the Actions of Their Elders—Plan That Worked Successfully in One Family. There is very little of the "doing unto others as you would that others should do unto you" in the bringing up of children, a fact which children learn sooner or later and instinctively resent under the consciousness of a lack of "fair play" somewhere, or somehow, but which they are too undeveloped to rightly place. The greater part of their poor little livs is hedged around with a spiky fence of "don'ts" that would soon bring on a case of nervous prostration for their elders if similarly tortured. Now, if, as modern thinkers believe, children as a rule are unconscious "copy cats" it is reasonable to assume that a good deal of "training" and guiding may be well done by the example set them by their elders rather than by the irritating system of "don'ts" and "spanks" that fill these small lives to overflowing. To interest a child in its own "reform" is to see that "reform" more than half accomplished, and without battle, murder and sudden death as an accompaniment. In view of this interest I am going to suggest a simple, pleasant and successful "system" of instilling table manners into the education of the average child that was carried on to a happy issue in a certain family of my acquaintance. Each child, from the youngest to the oldest, was given a weekly allowance ranging from three cents for the youngest to ten cents for the oldest, of 12 years. For certain things—a breach of table etiquette, for instance —a fine was imposed that involved the grown-ups as well as the children. For each spot on the table cloth a penny was forfeited; also, for reaching across the table for anything, or, for playing with knife, fork, spoon, napkin ring, glass or cup. Hands were supposed to be folded in the lap when not engaged with knife or fork in eating. For any of the above misdemeanors the grown-ups were expected to pay a penny all around to the children, but the children gave up one penny only. If a grown-up chanced to upset a cup of tea or coffee the accident was greeted with a comical shout of joy upon the part of the children, for this meant five cents all around, and young eyes danced with the prospect of these riches. "Spot pennies" could be won back by the children for good behavior between meals, but they were never excused from paying the penalty when the occasion arose to give it. Under the fun an ironclad rule existed which the little judges soon learned to recognize and respect, because it was "fair play." For the sake of teaching children familiarity with the nicer table appointments, so that their parents will never be mortified when guests are present and children are expected to dust their table manners and put them on for the occasion, whether the mother has one maid or none, bread and butter plates, finger bowls and impaculate linen should be in daily use. Pin Wheel Rolls. Two cups flour, four teaspoons baking powder, one-half teaspoon salt, two tablespoons lard, one-half cup milk. Mix and sift dry ingredients together, add liquid gradually, mixing with a knife. Have the dough as soft as can be handled. Roll out one-half inch thick, spread with melted butter, and sprinkle with one-half cup finely chopped citron, two tablespoons of sugar, one-half teaspoon cinnamon and one-half cup of currants. Roll up like jelly roll, cut off pieces three-fourths inch thick put in greased pan and cook 15 minutes in a hot oven. These are fine, and the citron can be omitted if you like. Potato Crust. One cup flour, one-fourth level teaspoon salt, one level teaspoon baking powder, one-fourth cup shortening, one-half cup cold mashed potatoes, and milk. Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder, work in the shortening with the fingers, and then the potato. Add sufficient milk to make a soft dough. Toss on to a floured board, and roll out to fit the dish. Cut an opening in the center for the steam to escape. Nut Loaf Substitute for Meat To one pint dry crumbs, add one teaspoon of parsley, half teaspoonful sage, one cupful finely chopped celery, one-half sour apple, one heaping teaspoonful finely minced onion fried to a golden brown in two tablespoonfuls butter, one and one half cups milk, two eggs, and one cup chopped nuts. Form into a long loaf and bake for one hour in baking pan, basting it frequently. Pail for Sweeping. When sweeping have handy a lightweight pail, and as your dust pan fills, empty it into the pail. It save endless trips, keeps the dust from flying, as the dust can be taken up at each step and not scattered through the lower hall. Vinegar Taffy. Two tablespoons of vinegar, four tablespoons of water, six tablespoonfuls of sugar. Boil 20 minutes, then pour in buttered plate. Delicious and harmless. WHEN MONEY WAS SCARCE. Practically Unobtainable During Period of Missouri's History. "However scarce money may be at times at the present," said an old Missourian, "the oldest inhabitants will recall when it was almost unobtainable and other commodities had to be used as media of exchange. The wolf's scalp was worth a dollar because it was a state bounty upon the death of a wolf, and venison hams and deer skins also had a purchasing value. Skins of the fur bearers were likewise abundant and valuable. When the first sheriff of Audrain county, in 1837, went to Jefferson City to deliver the county revenue, he met an old friend on the way who, needing money, wanted to borrow the actual coin part of the county's revenue. The good-hearted sheriff lent it to him and went on to the capital and delivered only the scalps. By the time of the next settlement the loan was repaid and the sheriff made his next settlement complete. No note or other obligation than the mere word was given."—Columbia Herald. The Peaceful Cow. She was even more afraid of cows than most girls, so when she spied a placid animal recumbent under a tree, peacefully chewing its cud, she at first refused to go through the pasture at all. Her husband calmed her fears to some extent, and they started by, when the cow slowly commenced to get up, hind legs first, as they always do. At this the little lady shrieked with terror, and said: "Oh, Bob, hurry, hurry, he is getting ready to spring at us!"—Harper's Magazine. TO PRETENDERS. A Wholesome Word for Guidance. Just a word to you, "Collier's" and other glaring examples of Modern Yellow Journalism and Cigarettes. Environment gives you a view-point from which it is difficult to understand that some people even nowadays act from motives of old fashioned honesty. There are honest makers of foods and healthful beverages and there are honest people who use them. Perhaps you are trained to believe there is no honesty in this world. There is, although you may not be of a kind to understand it. Some of you have been trained in a sorry class of pretenders, but your training does not taint the old fashioned person trained without knowledge of pretense and deceit. These letters came to us absolutely without solicitation. We have a great many thousand from people who have been helped or entirely healed by following the suggestions to quit the food or drink which may be causing the physical complaints and change to Postum Coffee or Grape-Nuts food. You are not intelligent enough to know the technical reasons why the change makes a change in the cells of the body. Your knowledge, or lack of knowledge, makes not the slightest difference in the facts. You can print from old and worn plates all the cheap books your presses will produce and sell them as best you can, but such acts and your "learned" editorials are but commercial, and seek only "dollars" and much by pretence. When you branch out into food values you become only ridiculous. Stick to what you know. The field may be small but it is safe.

Dear Sirs: I am, this morning, in receipt of the enclosed mighty good letter from one of my subscribers, which I forward to you, and which I am sure you will be glad to use. I am personally acquainted with this lady, and know that she has no object in writing, other than to do good. John W. Pritchard, Pres. Brooklyn, N. Y., Oct. 1, 1907. Dear Mr. Pritchard: Noticing Postum Food Coffee advertised each week in your reliable paper, I concluded to try it, and feeling it a duty towards those who may have suffered as I have from indigestion, desire to state what wonderful benefit I have received from Postum although using only a short time, and not do. I alone realize and appreciate its good effects, but friends remark, "How much I have improved and how well I look", and I tell the facts about Postum every time, for since using it I have put one attack of indigestion. It is invigorating, healthful; does not affect the nerves as ordinary coffee, and if properly made, a most delicious drink. Although I have not had much faith in general advertising, yet, finding Postum has done so much better for me than I expected I am more inclined to "Prove all things, hold fast that which is good." I am so thankful for good health that I want it known what a blessing Postum has been to me. You may use these few lines as an ad. if you so desire and my name also. 275 McDonough St., Brooklyn.

Sending bills had had no effect upon the debtor, so the tailor decided to make a personal attempt to collect the amount. He called several times upon the delinquent, but was never able to catch him. Finally he succeeded, just as he was going out and accosted him with the modest inquiry: "Will you pay me this bill, sir?" The man looked at it for a moment, and then said, innocently: "Did you ever owe anybody anything?" "No, sir," replied the tailor. "Then you can afford to wait," said the waggish debtor, and off he walked. The tailor again made several attempts, and at last was successful in cornering the man a second time. The debtor looked very solemn, and said: "Are you in debt to anyone?" Not to be caught this time, the tailor replied: "Yes, sir; I am sorry I am." "And why don't you pay?" "Because I haven't got the money," said the tailor, with a significant look. "That's just my case exactly, my dear sir," replied the debtor. "I am glad that you can appreciate my position. Good-morning!" EASILY DETECTED. A Gillimon—I'm going to the masquerade ball as a clown. Miss Sharpe—Really, I should think you'd wear a disguise of some kind. A. Good Guess.

Once more poor woman is laughed at for her lack of banking knowledge. There is no denying it, however; she is funny when she gets tangled up in the paraphernalia of finance.

TIME.—The period of the judges lasted, according to our Bible margins, 332 years, B. C. 1427-1068 (including Ell and Samuel). Gideon lived about the middle of this period. Many scholars make the period and place it later. The question is unsettled. PLACE.—The broad valley of Jezreel, which extends from the plain of Esdraeon southeast to the Jordan. The southern part of Galilee. The test of the 300 was by the Well Harod, 13 miles from the Jordan, and ten miles of Nazareth. In this region took place the great battle in which Saul and his sons were slain (1 Sam. 29:1, 31:1). Comment and Suggestive Thought. The Period of the Judges.—The Book of Judges is a collection of records belonging to the period between the death of Joshua and the birth of Samuel, a period of 280 years according to our common chronology. But if we add together the numbers given in Judges they amount to 410 years. For this and other reasons it is entirely probable that "the oppressions and deliverances were not successive, but, in part, synchronous. There were, in fact, without exception, local struggles; and it is not only conceivable, but highly probable, that while one part of the land was enjoying security under its judge other tribes were groaning under the foreign yoke."—Prof. Moore. While several of the events were thus occurring at the same time in different parts of the land, in other cases the judges ruled practically over the whole. "The judges formed temporary heads in particular centers, or over particular groups of tribes."—Barak, in the north of Israel, Gideon, in the center, Jephthah, in the east of Jordan, Samson, in the extreme southwest."—Driver. The Moral Decline.—At the close of a long period of peace and prosperity the people had degenerated morally. Business transactions with the Canaanites,—transactions which often required the performance of religious rites,—made it easy not to realize the difference between them. They were attracted by the easy morals of the heathen. The Cry from the Depths.—In their great distress the people began to repent and cry unto the Lord for help. A prophet was sent to show them that their trouble was on account of their sins (Judg. 6:7-10). The Answer.—God Raises Up Gideon.—Gideon belonged to the tribe of Manasseh. His father's name was Joash and lived at Ophrah, not far from Shechem. He was a man of highly noble person, and a noble race, like the son of a king, and whose brothers "each one resembled the children of a king" (Judg. 8:18). He was a man of strong common sense, a patriot, a true lover of God, cautious, modest, brave, and enthusiastic. The signs of the fleece (Judg. 6: 36-40), says Ewald, illustrate Gideon's own character: warm and zealous, while all around were indifferent and cold; calm and cool, when all around were excited. Gideon was probably a middle-aged man at this time, for he had a son of his own almost grown up (Judg. 8:20). The Sitting of the Army—Gildon proclaimed: "Whoever is fearful and afraid, let him depart." In view of the tearful odds against them two thirds of the army turned back, leaving only 10,000 soldiers. Still there were too many for the purpose. The second sieve was woven of alertness, quick wit, self-control, vigorous strength, boldness. The test was through their way of drinking in the near presence of the enemy. In order to understand the test we must see clearly the circumstances. Gildon's army was on one side of the stream, and the enemy on the other, and how near some scouting parties might be was unknown, for the reeds and shrubs along the banks afforded ample cover for hostile ambushes. Those who bowed down, drinking headlong, did not appreciate their position or the foe. The Victory by the Sword of the Lord and of Gideon.—Vs. 9:23. The Encouragement.—Vs. 9:15 Everything was now ready, except a new inbreathing of courage and faith. To accomplish this Gideon and his officer went early in the night into the camp of the Midianites sleeping in the security of their numbers. Listening near a tent, they heard a man telling to his comrade a dream from which he had just awakened. Compare with v.13 the translation and annotation of the Polychrome Bible. "I dreamed that a cake of barley griddle-bread—a kind of flat, round, hard-baked, ash cake, representing the Israelite peasant—was rolling hither and thither through the camp of Midian, and it came to a tent and struck it and turned it upside down." The meek interpreted the dream as meaning the overthrow of Midian by Israel. Practical Points The story of Gideon does not teach that he cares nothing for means adapted to the end. Gideon had faith, but he used his forces in the best way, and selected the 300 because of their adaptation to the special service required. In the Christian warfare the trumpets express our power of speaking for God. The lamps are our character and example, lighted by God's grace and shining for men; and the pitchers represent our capacity of receiving the truth and the spirit of God.

"It is a curious thing," said a prominent lecturer recently, "how some books have a strong radiating personality, so that you feel like saying 'Howdy' every time you come across them. Last Christmas I visited friends back at the old home on the farm. When the supper dishes had been put away, the chores done and the evening lamp lighted we gathered beside the organ for a good old fashioned 'sing.' On the center table were strenued the Christmas remembrances taken from Christmas tree on the evening before. Glancing over them I suddenly exclaimed 'Hello!' my good friend, Hello!' and as the others looked up with surprise, I picked up a copy of 'Heart Throbs' and read to them from its pages the 'piece' I spoke in school 40 years ago. "That was enough to set in motion the friendly entertaining spirit of Heart Throbs, and the music was forgotten as we took turns reading the humorous and pathetic bits of prose and verse that have been preserved in this wonderful volume. Some books have great literary value, some have historical significance, but Heart Throbs is the only book I know that slaps you on the back in a friendly sort of way, suiting itself to your moods and proving faithful to every emotion. Next to my love of the Bible I love Heart Throbs. It is the most notable book of the times." Do not only take occasions of doing good when they are thrust upon thee, but study to do all the good thou canst. Zeal of good works will make thee plot and contrive for them, consult and ask advice for them.—R. Baxter. BABY'S ECZEMA GREW WORSE. Hospitals and Doctors Could Not Relieve Him—But Cuticura Remedies a Speedy, Permanent Cure. "Eczema appeared when our baby was three months old. We applied to several doctors and hospitals, each of which gave us something different every time, but nothing brought relief. At last, one of our friends recommended to us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. A few days afterwards improvement could be noted. Since then we have used nothing but Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now the baby is six months old and is quite cured. All that we used was one cake of Cuticura Soap and two boxes Cuticura Ointment, costing in all $1.25. C. F. Kara, 343 East 65th Street, New York, March 30, 1906."

James, Al. Grimes. 1223 Baltimore Ave. Since the abolition of slavery in the United States in 1863, many Negroes have held official positions. Two were United States Sen- ators. Twenty-two Representatives; three, held diplomatic and con- sular positions; many have been officers in the army, six were Re- corders of Deeds in the District of Columbia. A fine engraving of these Negro Congressmen has just been is- sued, giving accurate portraits of each; also the Congress in which they served and the years of service, In the picture, the two Sena- tors, Messrs. Revels and Bruce, occupy the center of the group, sur- rounded by the other eighteen Representatives. In the background, the Stars and Stripes in color. This beautitul engraving, with a book- let containing biographies of these eminent men, is sold for one dol- lar ($1.00). This engraving is a graphic political history of the Negro in America. No home, library, office, or school-room will be com- plete without it. Send for one to-day. NOVELTY CO. | P. O. Drawer 2318 Washington, D. C. Agents wanted.

Everyone knows that it is a little box of prayers which is whirled round by the handle held in the hand, the pleious whirber laying up for himself as large a store of merit each time he whirls as if he had recited the whole of the prayers with instrument, of devotion so popular with the Thibetan Buddhists. Every one knows that it is a little box of prayers which is whirled round by the handle held in the hand, the pious whirler laying up for himself as large a store of merit each time he whirls as if he had recited the whole of the prayers with which the box is filled. I could nev er look at a prayer wheel without being reminded of that individual who weared with the repetition of a long list of prayers each night, hit upon the brilliant idea of writing them out and hanging them at the head of his bed. Then each night he pliously went on his knees and, indicating the list with his finger, fervently breathed "Them's my sentiments, O Lord, Amen." Thus did he save time and save his conscience. Although the small whirling prayer box of the Lama is so well known, I do not think it is so widely known that there are other forms of this devotional contrivance, and I am quite certain there are many people who, while knowing Japan an well, are unaware that it is used in that country. The picture I send you of a Japanese Buddhist priest and the praying wheel I took at the great Temple of Zeekojt at Nagano, Japan where there are two of them, the finest I have ever seen. JAPAN NEEDS RELIGION Thoughtful Testimony of an Eminent Buddhist. In an article in one of the leading Japanese papers, the head of the bureau of general school affairs for Japan, an eminent Buddhist, says: "Our religion!"—the very thought of it causes shame and sorrow. Its revival seems next to impossible. And yet there never was a time when we needed religion more than we do to day Religion is needed to furnish us with higher ideals than are to be found in the business and in the political worlds. If Buddhism does not furnish these ideals, Christianity may do so. I would rather see Christianity doing what it can towards supplying higher standards of life than see the nation left without any religion." PROGRESS OF THE KINGDOM The Jesuits in Holland have opened a house in which to give retreats for workingmen. Rev. J. W. Atkinson, pastor of the Manly Methodist Episcopal church Portsmouth, O., has had over 100 decisions at his church since the beginning of the conference year, and 181 accessions. Wesleyan Methodists in the Westminster section of London have acquired property valued at about $1,225,000, and through good investment have paid but about $300,000 for it. After fulfilling his English engagements Gypsy Smith will visit Australia. This course will postpone his return to America indefinitely Gypsy Smith is exactly reversing the order of R. A. Torrey's revival tour beginning in America. Sunday School for Baby Care Sunday School for Baby Caretakers. Rev. J. W. Moore, of the Presbyterian mission, writes from Japan of a new departure in the Sunday school work in some of the mission stations—a Sunday school for the girls who are caretakers of the babies. "As these babies were not very conducive to the order of the regular school, strapped as they were on the backs of their sisters, a special gathering was arranged for the little nurses. This was very popular not only with them, but also as their little charges increase in stature and wisdom they too, fall into the habit of continuing to attend, thus being trained in Sunday school from infancy—an oriental cradle roll." God Is Mighty to Save A Japanese missionary exhorted his fellows in these words: "Set no borders on His strength." With the arm of God as their confidence, he knew they must succeed. The sceptical foreign traders of China said to Robert Morrison, after he had landed: "And so, Mr. Morrison, you really expect you will make an impression on the idolatry of the great Chinese empire." "No, sir," said Morrison, "but I expect God will." Queer Names. Mrs. Erwin H. Richards, of the Zambesi mission, Inhambane, writes that the natives give their children queer names at times. One bright little native girl has a name which, translated, means "Guardyard Little pigs." Mrs. Richards hopes to get her adopted by some Christian patron and she can then be baptized and receive a Christian name. Charles Kullman Alive. Charles Kullman, who disappeared on July 9, 1901, and the payment of whose life insurance for $5,000 was contested by the M. W. of A. and the Maccanebes, on the ground that he was still living, has been arrested in Oregon City, Ore. Kullman has been using the name of Charles Taylor and has worked in the logging camps of the Northwest. Two years ago the Kullman family won one of the insurance suits and this year another case was decided against the family. Kullman was prominent in Benton county before his disappearance, having been a candidate for county collector and also publisher of the Warsaw Times. A reward of $1,000 was offered for his body. He is 35 years old. Work for Juvenile Court A man and a boy entered a Butler restaurant recently. Both were smoking some extra black cigars. Ordinarily this would have occasioned no remark or comment, but in this case it did. The boy was only six years of age, and has been smoking since he was a little over four years old, consuming from four to six cigars every day. The man with him was his father, and said he had always allowed the boy to do as he pleased, and if he wanted to smoke it was all right. He said that the boy recently had been given plenty of cigars in the hope that he would be broken of the habit, but it seemed to grow on him. Paid for Their Joke. A stranger dropped into the circuit clerk's office in Lancaster and chatted awhile with the sheriff and constables, finally remarking that he was helpless among so many officials. One of the officers jokingly applied that they might even compel him to take out a marriage license, but the stranger protested it cost too much. The officers said they would attend to that if he could furnish the girl. The stranger was game and a license was duly made out. "Thank you, gentlemen," he said, as he put it in his pocket. "That was what I came to town for." A. Real Heroine: Miss Lillian Louge, of Kirksville, is a real heroine. She had just alighted from a buggy in which were her mother and a child, when a run away team pulling a heavy farm wagon came bearing down on the buggy at a terrific rate. A man tried to stop the frenzied beasts but failed, barely escaping being run down. Then Miss Louge sprag toward the horses and waved her cloak in their faces. This accomplished what physical strength could not, and the frightened team swerved just enough to miss the buggy and the plucky girl. Factories At Independence. Compilation of industrial statistics by the state labor department indicate that independence is something of a manufacturing town. The figures for Independence are as follows: Fifty industries - Value of goods manufactured, $1,675,996; value of supplies used, $1,357,348; capital invested, $451,102; value of grounds, $90,000; value of buildings, $92,975; value of machinery, $246,603; paid in wages, $203,560; employs, male 316, female 19 Brooded Over Lost Sister. Because of constant worry since the disappearance of her sister Miss Martha Uhlinger, a member of an old family of St. Joseph, suffered a mental collapse. Miss Lena Uhlinger, her sister, became insane because of a fall at a local skating rink, and is supposed to have committed suicide by jumping into the Missouri river. Martha became insane because she regarded herself derelict in her duty to ward Lena. Grave Under a Sidewalk While grading to lay a sidewalk in Maryville several graves were discovered. The wilk will pass directly over the spot where they were and superstitious folks declare they will not wank on that side of the street. A peculiar fact in connection with the discovery is that as yet no oldest inhabitant has succeeded in remembering when bodies were buried along there. The Fox Returns A red fox which was captured when young and raised as a pet in Brownington was turned loose in the woods recently, but returns to visit its human friends frequently. The trouble is it comes when they aren't looking and carries away a few chickens every time. Hunting parties have been organized for the special benefit of Reynard, but up to date he has proved toc clever. Can't Judge By Appearances One cannot judge by appearances. A Maryville man is often mistaken for a minister, but is a traveling salesman and before that was a printer. A Missouri Relic General Olin Guitar of Columbia has in his possession the only original copy extant of the Missouri session acts of 1824. Missouri had been a state only four years at the time, and this is the second issue of the session acts of the commonwealth. Lawson Postoffice Robbed Robber entered the postoffice at Lawson and blew open the safe and made their escape. Several dollars in money, a small number of stamps and a gold watch were taken. At the National Capital Gossip of People and Events Gathered in Washington STRICT RULES FOR VISITS IN WASHINGTON SOCIETY WASHINGTON.—Just at present matters are dull socially, but there is an air of expectancy and enough people are in the city and more are returning every day to keep up the interest. Houses and visiting lists are being overhauled, as visiting is the joy as well as the bête noir of the Washington woman and has to be attacked scientifically as well as diplomatically to accomplish all that is required by an exacting public. There is a regular etiquette in regard to visits, and woe betide the unlucky stranger who unconsciously sinks against the cast iron rules laid down in this supposedly most democratic of cities. The judges of the supreme court must be called on by the cabinet, senators and representatives first. Then the members of the cabinet call on one another and on the senators and house members. The senators make their supreme court and cabinet visits and finally reach one another. But a senator's wife whose husband has been in office six years cannot demean herself by calling first on the wife of T probably will be a relief to the great masses of the people to know finally and positively that Miss Edith Root, daughter of the secretary of state, and Ulysses S. Grant III. are to have an extremely simple and quiet wedding at the home of the bride's parents on Rhode Island avenue. The children of the big ones, especially in Washington, ordinarily have enough spent on the gewgaws of their weddings to keep them in household supplies for 10 years. The only social affairs in Washington more costly than funerals are the weddings. The daughter of the secretary of state is to marry the grandson of a resident and the greatest soldier of his time, and few people are to be gathered together to witness the ceremony. It is a fine and an appealing arrangement. There probably will be a lot of presents. Neither the bride nor the groom, it is supposed, can prevent the flood of gifts which the prominence of their families will start. Young Grant is a quiet, unassuming studious fellow, with a bent of mind for mathematics, for he graduated into the army's engineering corps. The bride is a girl of domestic tastes. She has been comparatively little known in the swirling circle of Washington society. It is said that she has good sound sense, and her dis- ROOSEVELT CELEBRATES FORTY-NINTH BIRTHDAY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT celebrated his forty-ninth birthday a few Sundays ago. He spent the day, as is his custom, attending church in the morning, and spending the afternoon in the open air. In the afternoon he received a committee of ten representing the Hungarian Republican club of New York, of which the president is an honorary member. The custom of the club of extending its congratulations to Mr. Roosevelt on his birthday began when he was governor of New York. He became a member on his return from Cuba in 1898, and during his first campaign for governor of the state of New York the club took an active part in New York city. The committee extended congratulations on the president's successful hunting trip and heard a partial description of it. THE voyage of the battleship fleet to the Pacific will be veiled in impenetrable secrecy. No news regarding the maneuvers to be conducted on the trip around South America will be allowed to filter through to the American taxpayer. Newspaper correspondents will be rigidly excluded from the war vessels. The journey of Rear Admiral Evans' large squadron will be virtually on a war footing, for the only information that will be allowed to reach the people who are paying out millions to keep the navy up to the highest state of fighting efficiency will be in the one who has only served his country three years. The senatorial and congressional records are called in requisition and lists made out and the length of time men have held office noted. The house members are not as exacting and a little more license is permitted them, but still an immense amount of form is necessary to steer clear of the breakers of social political life. Diplomats are exempt to a certain extent, as after presenting their credentials to the president they quietly await the onslaught of visitors. It requires a discriminating foreigner or one who has employed a secretary from the very innermost fold of the fashionable set to tell whom to receive and whom not and to sift the shower of cards that descend upon him, especially if he belongs to the diplomatic corps. Washington is an especially easy city for outsiders, as they have the right of way and must call first on all those who hold an official position. These visits are returned and thus the thin edge of the wedge is inserted that leads to social distinction. ROOT-GRANT WEDDING TO BE MOST SIMPLE AFFAIR inclination to go the rounds seems to prove the point. It is understood that young Grant has no money beyond his pay. He is a first lieutenant of engineers and his wage is about $125 a month. He gets an allowance for quarters, however, provided he is on detached duty where there are no army quarters. The government will give him and his wife three rooms to live in, or if he is away from an army post it will give him the equivalent of the rent of three rooms. It is said that Edith Root, although the daughter of a rich man, is perfectly capable of keeping house in three rooms, and keeping house there contentedly. Lleut. Grant has an enormously wealthy aunt, who lives part of the time in Chicago, but he has no expectations from her, and he is too much of a Grant to take anything if it were offered. Eilhu Root's father was a college professor, who was earning about $1,500 a year, perhaps less, when Eilhu was a boy. It isn't at all probable that he will contribute largely to the household funds of his future son-in-law. He doubtless would prefer to let the young couple go it alone for some time to come. This wedding promises to be entirely satisfactory from every intrinsically valuable American viewpoint. Aside from this visit the day was marked by no special observance. There were family congratulations and presents, and the president attended Grace Dutch Reformed church as is his custom. Returning from church, he spent an hour in the White House office, and in the afternoon took a long walk into the suburbs of Washington, on which he was accompanied by Secretary Root. Although 49 years old, President Roosevelt, after six years as the head of the nation, is only two years older than President Grant when he took the oath; a year older than President Cleveland and the same age as President Pierce. He is still a much younger man than were his predecessors when they assumed office—McKinley at 54, Lincoln at 52, Tyler and Arthur at 51 and Polk and Garfield at 50. SHROUD OF MYSTERY FOR TRIP OF PACIFIC FLEET form of meager reports furnished by naval officers specially appointed for that purpose and who will carefully avoid references to those things in which the public is interested. These decisions were arrived at by President Roosevelt after a consultation with Secretary Metcalf, Rear Admiral Evans and Rear Admiral Brownson, chief of the bureau of navigation of the navy department. After a conference, Secretary Metcalf announced that the fleet would set sail from Hampton roads on December 16. The president has been informed on all important items in the itinerary. The supreme court has handed down a decision ordering the Missouri Pacific Railroad company to establish daily passenger service on its Madison branch. In granting the writ of mandamus applied for by the attorney general and the board of railroad commissioners the court holds that the law giving the railroad commissioners the right to regulate train service is constitutional. B. P. Waggener, attorney for the Missouri Pacific, made a hard fight on the railroad commission law on the ground that state regulation was an interference with interstate commerce. The Missouri Pacific has been operating a mixed train on the Madison branch for years. Its contract with the different counties which voted bonds called for daily service, and the road refused this. A Chase County Land Sale A Chase County Land Sale. One of the largest land sales, which has recently been made in Chase county, was that of an 800-acre farm near Wonsevu, purchased by H. C. Cooper of Assaria. The farm consisted of several hundred acres of bottom land, the greater part of which was in alfalfa. About 500 acres was unimproved pasture and hay land, used for stock raising. The ranch was formerly owned by G. B. Telford of Wonsevu and has exchanged hands twice within the last month or two. The last purchase was made from S. T. Slaubaugh, of Florence, for $20,500 or a little more than $25.50 per acre. Farm's Price Had Jumped. Five years ago David Morgan sold his 160-acre farm north of Hiawatha for $10,000, and all of the farmers believed it was a high price. Since then Mr. Morgan has owned three farms which he has sold at profits of from $1,000 to $1,500 each. Recently Mr. Morgan figured on buying his old farm back and found that all he has made from the sale of his other farms would not equal the increase in value of the old place, which is now worth more than $16,000. To the Highest Court. Bailie Waggoner, attorney for the Missouri Pacific railroad has announced that he would appeal the Madison branch case to the United States supreme court. This means that the constitutionality of the Kansas statute creating the state board of railroad commissioners will be contested before the highest tribunal in the country. Mr. Waggoner stated that all phases of the case will remain in the appeal. Say Marshall Was Not Guilty The commission appointed by the governor to investigate the charges of cruelty and criminal neglect against E. E. Marshall, superintendent of the state reformatory at Hutchinson, held that he is "not guilty of the specific charges against him." No intimation was given out as to what, if any, will be the further action against Marshall. More Discoveries. Leavenworth, it will be observed, did not discover it had a well that gave hot and cold water intermittently until its saloons closed. There is no telling what wonderful discoveries in its well are yet to come when the lid gets on real tight, says the Tonganoxie Mirror. An Impossible Task. In Kingman, also, the banks paid out real cash to all depositors who demanded it, and finished with more money than when they started. The only way to break those Western Kansas banks is by using nitro-glycerine and a jimmy, and even then they are insured. The Champion Big Hay Stack. The Champion Big Hay Stack. The champion big hay stack of Kansas, or any other state for that matter, was one Bruce Purviance had baled the other day on his farm near Arcadia. It was a round stack and turned out 567 bales, each averaging 76 pounds. This made 211⁴ tons in the stack. The hay was sold for $10 per ton, delivered at Arcadia and brought Mr. Purviance $215.46 for just the one stack. And a round one at that! Got Best Results William Gotobed holds first place for obtaining the greatest results from farming one-half acre of ground, which netted him $588. Mr. Gotobed tried the Burrell Gem pink meated cantaloupes and the above is the result. He received from 60 cents to $1.25 per crate of 12 melons for all he shipped and he did not get melons in on the early market, either, on account of the hall last spring. Will Toot no More. Bill Horn was fined $25 by the police judge in Marion for going on a toot. A. Train Abandoned It has been announced that the train known as the Ellis "plug" passenger train running between Junction City and Ellis on the Union Pacific, will be abolished because the company says it cannot be operated profitably with a two-cent fare. Unique Plan for Paying His Help Unique Plan for Paying His Help. Mr. Smith, an unmarried farmer living at Inman, is advertising for a boy to help him on the farm. He will pay him $100 a year and 8 per cent of all the crops raised May be permanently overcome by proper personal efforts with the assistance of the one truly beneficial laxative remedy, Syrup of ligna and Eluir of Sema, which enables one to form regular habits daily so that assistance to nature may be gradually dispensed with when no longer needed as the best of remedies, when required, are to assist nature and not to supplant the natural functions, which must depend ultimately upon proper nourishment, proper efforts, and right living generally. To get its beneficial effects, always buy the genuine MARK TWAIN'S RENTED CAT. Humorist Furnishes Something for Scribes to Puzzle Over. Mark Twain, as is his custom, hides himself during the summer from the head hunters, those persons seeking autographs, photographs, or interviews. This year he selected Tuxedo Park as his retreat, renting an old colonial house until the latter part of September, when he returned to his New York home. There, during the heated days, Mr. Clemens wandered about the country byways or spent the time in various shady nooks in his grounds. A visitor who succeeded in discovering his whereabouts found the great author in his famous suit of white flannels, seated under a tree petting a kitten. "Where did you get it?" queried the friendly intruder. For a moment there was a twinkle in the aged humorist's eyes; it was succeeded by a solemn look as he replied: "I rent it from a neighbor. You see, I cannot afford a cat—not even a young one." Subsequent inquiry proved at least the first part of Mr. Clemen's statement to be true. He had actually rented the kitten for the summer season. What does he pay for it? Nobody knows what Mark Twain pays for anything. All the world is interested only in what Mark Twain is paid.—The Sunday Magazine. Mexico's Indian Women. The beauty of Indian women is one of the charms of Mexico. In the capital, where the Indian has degenerated through poverty and menial service it is less to oe remarked than in the smaller towns and in the country. But the beautiful faces one takes in memory away from Mexico are those of Indian women. Fine eyes are universal, and, what one hardly expects, the features, according to Caucasian standards — broad brows, straight noses, well-formed mouths and chins full but not gross or heavy. The expression is very generally intelligent, and often one is struck, both in Indian men and women, with the nobility and refinement of the countenance. One frequently sees types among the peons that seem to belong to some highly civilized ancient caste — an Egyptian priest of royal blood, a Roman centurian, an Aztec emperor. The women are gently lovely where they are beautiful, and the men at their best in carriage. in manners and in countenance are strikingly like the very advanced product of civilization. —Modern Mexico. Mary Knew. Little Mary's father had been teaching her to walk properly. "Walk slowly and turn out your toes," he admonished her. While she was undergoing this teaching she attended Sunday school one day. The golden text was, "Teach me to walk honestly." After reciting it several times, the teacher asked: "Who knows what that means?" "I do," replied little Mary. "Walk slowly and turn out your toes." Restricted Choice "The people and the corporations," said Senator La Follette the other day, "remind me of a woman and her little boy. There was a very large chicken and a very small duck on the table and the woman, pausing with the carving knife raised, said: 'Johnny, which will you take, chicken or duck?' 'Duck,' piped Johnny. But the mother shook her head. 'No, Johnny,' she said in a firm, yet kindly voice, 'you can't have duck, my dear. Take your choice, darling, take your choice, but you can't have duck.'" PLEASANT SUMMER Right Food the Cause. A Wis. woman says: "I was run down and weak, trouble with nervousness and headache for the last six years. The least excitement would make me nervous and cause severe headache. "This summer I have been eating Grape-Nuts regularly and feel better than for the six past years. "I am not troubled with headache and nervousness, and weigh more than I ever have before in my life. I gained 5 lbs. in one week." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Come and Have a Look The LID 308 E. 12th St. To the Negroes of Missouri and of the country together with all the patriots of the Republic without regard to race, Greetings: Proscription Nationalized Proscription Nationalized. The system of segregation which is in vogue in a great section of our land, is un-Christian and un-American; it subjects our wives and daughters to all sorts of indignities and embarrassments; it fills most Negroes with a bitter resentment or with moral cowardice, and a few with a righteous indignation; while most of the whites become arrogant and hostile and a few feel a sort of pity. To the hundreds of thousands of strangers of all race stocks coming to our shores annually the Negro race by this proscription is exposed to insult and contempt. Coupled with this spirit which is spreading over the country with all that it implies with racial antipathy and economic hindrance there is a tendency towards federalizing this sentiment of discrimination against colored Americans, as is seen in the recent decision of the Inter-State Rail Road Commission approving Jim-Crowism with equal facilities, which is a long stride towards nationalizing this corrupting institution. Proscription in the Postal Service. This prejudice of race has appeared in a most hateful form in a resolution adopted at Kansas City, Mo., last August by the Seventh Division of the Railway Mail Clerks; the resolution was wholly false. They charged their fellow Negro clerks with inefficiency and shiftlessness and recommended that they be barred from the service or segregated in their work. There seems to be a general movement on foot to reduce and eliminate from the Postal Service the Negro clerks in spite of merit as is evident in the St. Louis Postmaster's wholesale arbitrary rejection of colored applicants who have made high average in civil service examination. It is universally conceded that as a rule the colored mail clerks and carriers have no superiors, coming as most of them do from the best canals and homes of the race; for the Postal Service is the only creditable open-door which the colored youth may enter by competitive examination. In seeking to restrain criminal shiftless elements, we must also guard and encourage the intelligent aspiring youth among us. Therefore it has been deemed timely and proper that there be appointed a day in the near future when the people of African descent in the state and nation shall gather for prayer and protest and to stimulate our people along the substantial lines of life, and inspire them with the courage and ideals of patriots. American Proscription Fundamentally Wrong. If first and second class travel is at all necessary, there should be first and second class fare, and then no distinctions according to race should obtain. Jim-Crowism and disfranchisement are twin sisters, which means for the separated ones impotency, bitterness and servility. Under such conditions equal facilities for travel is neither possible nor desirable, for "this system of segregation is fundamentally wrong; it rests upon a false theory of the human family and of democratic government." When ten millions of American citizens are filled with a justified discontent, it become a serious question for the statesmen, a question which tests both the quality and sincerity of the patriotism and Christianity of the Republic. Mr. F. L. Lewis, President of the B. Y. P. U., has worked up an interesting union in the Pleasant Green Baptist church, and has a large attendance. We want it understood that the Son is at peace with everybody and everything. And any articles or extracts appearing in this paper or news matters come under the form of announcements and notices. See comment on announcements. NEGRO ROWDYISM ON STREET CABS. The other evening it seems from the facts and testimonies that a gang of Negroes beat up a conductor on an Argentine car. This is sadly to be deplored, such an outrageous happen-ening, it seems that the conductor spoke to those Negroes about being quiet and it was resented. The Rising Son backed by the good Negroes of this community are against such felonious assault and we believe they should be punished. President Corrigan is very strict on the motormen and conductors on the companies cars and he says "any incivility to the passengers on the part of the conductors or other employees should be reported directly to him and the matter shall be properly adjusted. PICTURES OF THE LADIES IN THE BEAUTY CONTEST. Beginning with a later edition of The Son, the paper will print the pictures of the first ten ladies in the married and single list in the beauty contest. The contest will terminate some time in October. The single lady winning the first prize will receive a pure silver manicuring set, and the married lady will receive a Landsome punch bowl set.
