The "Big Mogul" is refusing to accept the tax forwarded by the alleged suspended Lodges. That wont "cut any ice," each one of these Lodges will have a voice in the District Grand Lodge in August. This is safely guaranteed because we know of what we are speaking; therefore every Lodge must have its delegate on the ground clothed with the proper credentials, etc.
Armour Lodge has elected P. N. F. W. S. Roundfield as its representative in the District Grand Lodge. Armour can feel assured that its interests are secure. P. G. M. W. E. Searles represents Savannah Lodge, P. N. F. J. S. Causey, Mt. Tier, P. G. M. S: H. Jonhison, Myrtle. They will make a great team.
Pythlan Pointers.
We have been informed that "Meddler" has received several letters commending him for the stand he has taken and from the gist of them all, the present Grand Chancellor will have not a Ghost of a chance in July. The Pointer man has also received a few letters some of whom accuse the wrong Sir Knight as being the Pointer man. Who is keeping the. Knights in the dark respecting representation in the Supreme Lodge? The present Grand Chancellor savs that "We have been kept in the dark" respecting it, yet when he was asked to bring us to light, he refused to do so. Now who is keeping us in the dark?
In Georgia five years is enough for one man to serve as Grand Chancellor. We have too many able Sir Knights in the state to continue one man in office.
Double endowment has caused the present prosperity of the Grand Lodge and not the sagacious and able (?) management of affairs by the present head.
The "Bachelor," need not fret, "THE TRIBUNE and her squad of job hunters," are not looking for anything. THE TRIBUNE management has nothing to do with Pythian affairs other than evincing the same amount of interest as any one would who keeps up with public affairs.
Many a slate will be broken in July. No advantage will be taken of any one because the Grand Lodge will meet in Savannah.

Meddler a Wasp Under Countryman's Jacket. Mr. Editor—
As a professional bulldozer Countryman has but few equals and when it comes to professional sophism he has no equals nor superiors. He is a typical sophist. Being unable to meet the issues, he is trying to deceive the people by keeping them in the dark and refusing to give them the facts for which we asked. He knows that both of us have been out among the people and that Creswill has no show at all for re-election. The people think five years is long enough for one man. The people do not believe that because Creswill is to be moved that all of his Deputies and other officers are to be moved. They will not consent to any wholesale changes and we agree with them, for it would not be wise. To Creswill's credit be it said, that most of those who now hold office under him (in our judgement) are among the very best men we have in the order. We are glad to inform you that Charley Clark's election is generally conceded by the people. It is now only a question of his majority and another article from Countryman—like those he has written already, will only help to swell that majority. The people are now'on to Countryman. They say that his failure to answer our questions proves conclusively that he is trying to bluff and mislead them. But you haven't got us in the dark Countryman. We see something as well as you. Its a well known fact that you are the King of all the politicians in the Order.
To frighten Clark and get him out of the way you threaten to give his place to Russell. To frighten Lee and keep him quiet you threaten to give his place to Matthews. You don't seem to know where Cohen stands and hence you tell him if he will keep quiet you will let him remain where he is, otherwise you will give his place to McCarthy. Do these positions belong to you to be issued out at will or to the G. L? This was a sharp political move on your part Countryman to keep these men quiet but we are on to you, it wont work. So you have a trick or two to turn, eh? Well, Bennie, tricks sometimes turn upon the trickster and I fear this will be your fate if you attempt any of your tricks at Savannah. As far as we know, neither Clark nor any of his friends have asked you for any advice as to how his campaign should be conducted—you are too changeable and fickle. Have you been "sugared" Countryman, the reason you have shown yourself such a weather-coock? You started out by professing to be for Clark and proclaiming him through the columns of the Independent as our next G. O. After which you professed to be for both Clark and Creawill. You said both were clever chaps and if you could you would vote for both. Next we find that after you had received so many letters from all over the State (2) asking you to run, that you did—"the most unkindest act of all." You knitted both of your friends Clark and Creawill for whom you had professed such friendship and announced yourself as a candidate! Gee whiz, what a friend! But much to your sorrow and grief
Meddler came along with the unwelcome news and knocked all of the wind-out of your sails by informing you that you could not be elected G. C. no, not even as a compromise candidate. 'This of course made you "scratch where it didn't itch" and we fancy we can see that radiant smile that you had been wearing in anticipation of your election melting away as the dew beneath a tropical sun. We look again and we fancy we can see you snorting and foaming at the mouth, exclaiming "That little Meddler down by the sea-did it; that little wind mill that I could not afford to notice, has blown all of my hopes away."
We saw Geo. S. Williams the other day and we asked him if he told the Countryman or Editor B. J. Davis that he was the Meddler and George said no: Now from whom did you get your information? It seems that the Countryman is not particular as to whether he states facts or not when he writes. His aim is to create a sensation, regardless of the facts. We cannot afford to do this. We have some regard for truth and because of this Countryman claims that we are not up to the standard. We will not tell the public that the Countryman is Editor B. J. Davis nor will we tell the public that the Countryman and the "Lonely old Bachelor" are one and the same person because we do not know these things [P] but we will tell the public a few things that we do know viz: That in the article written in the Atlanta Independent signed, "Countryman" that Countryman made statements and assertions that are not true. Yes, statements that he know or he should have known were not true. If you would have us reach your standard, Countryman, you must set it high, not low. The standard that you have set for us thus far in your articles signed "Countryman" has been too inconsistent and void of truth for us to reach, and you ought not to complain if we refuse to reach down to it because we have no desire to reach down but up. We claim that you have not set the proper standard. We claim that the standard that you have set for us thus far is a very questionable one, not worthy of imitation. Now, if what we claim is not true, answer the following questions, which you on account of that tree cherous memory of yours forgot [?] to answer in our last article:
1 Did you tell the truth when you said that Clark was never elected to an office before in his life until Creswill elected him at Albany?
2 Did you tell the truth when you insinuated that there was a thief aspiring to become the head of the order? If this is true give his name.
3 Did you tell the truth when you said the people are now electing Representatives all over the State and instructing them for Creswill, when you know or you should know that all Representatives to the G. L. were elected (according to law) since Dec. 1904?
4 Did you tell the truth when you said no one was displeased with Creswill except the fellows who want jobs?
5 Did you tell the truth when you said that you admire Creswill? because of the enemies he has made Most people admire a man because of his ability to make friends and retain them; but you admire a man because of his ability to make enemies. Is this another type of the standard that you would have us reach?
6 Did you tell the truth when you said the people care nothing about the workings of the Supreme Lodge—that all they wanted was a business like administration like that which Gen. Creswill is giving us? If so, tell us why did the people or those who represented the people vote against the Pythian Temple tax imposed upon them by the Supreme Lodge? Tell us why did the G.L. of Ga., go so far as to instruct its two Supreme Representatives (that it was forced to elect on account of the terrible state of affairs now existing) to vote and do all they could against this tax? When it is remembered that we will be forced to do the same thing again [when the time comes for the election of Supreme Representatives] unless we move Creswill and when it is remembered that our present Supreme Representatives are in favor of this tax (that they have been instructed to fight) to vote and we to expect? Now, honor bright, Bennie don't you think it would be better for us to have Creswill step down and out and thus remedy this evil? Is Creswill so pre-eminently fitted for the position of G. C., that there is no other man in the Order to fill his place? You say you want to honor him for what he has done? Have we not already honored him for five long years? How much longer do you want to honor him? May be you want to honor him for what he may have done for you and pour paper? How about it Countryman? Is it a game of "You tickle me and I tickle you"? Again, why don't you tell the people the facts about the amount of money now in the treasury? Why don't you tell them that while Creswill is due much honor, that the amount that has accumulated there is due main-
ly to the double endowment tax that was instituted at Brunswick? Why don't you tell the people that the reason there has been such an increase in members that the desire now seems to be quantity and not quality. And if the people should ask you, Ben, if it would ruin the Order to move Creswill, tell them the truth. Tell them no; tell them that greater men than Creswill have lived and died and the world moves on today as though they never had existence. Tell them, Ben, that no man is so important that his place cannot be filled. Tell them these truths. Don't lead the people in the dark! Lead them in the light! Do this, Ben, and you will set a standard that every man can honor who loves truth, loyalty and devotion.
Now, Countryman, you have insinuated that as compared to you we are unknown. This is true, but remember that our face is not seen every week in a newspaper as yours is, so you ought not to expect us to be half so well-known as you. After all Countryman, it's not a question today of how well one is known, but in what way he is known:
You say when you shout you make them "holler" all over the State, but thus far Countryman you have "hollored" louder, longer and oftener than any one else, for almost every week you have filled up one broadside of your paper with your long puffish wall and if you "holler" so loud and long when you are struck by a little "Wind mill," we do not think you ought to complain if we "holler," just a little, especially when we are fired at so often by that terrible [?] Countryman, who says himself that he holds all Pythians at bay. Bye-bye Countryman, now don't forget to answer our questions, for we have a few more to put to you but for fear that treacherous memory (?) of yours may not be able to retain them, we have decided to give them to you in broken doses. Now unless you answer our questions and set yourself right before the public we will have to put you down as one who handles the truth carelessly or as an irresponsible person who suffers from mental aberration.
Yours for right, truth and justice.
Meddler.
Mr. EDITOR—You or your printer, by
omitting a whole clause in our first article
made us say what we didn't. We did not
say that we were in favor of Clark first
and Creswill next. By referring to our
manuscript you will see we said—"We
are in favor of Clark first and, if there was
no other good man in the Order (which is
absurd) then Creswill." Please make this
correction for . . .
Meddler is correct in the
above and we take pleasure in
correcting same.—Ed.
Sunday Club.
For some weeks the Men's Sunday club have been holding regular meetings at the Masonic Temple. At these meetings' important subjects have been discussed. There are in the city of Savannah many conditions which are of vital importance to life and progress of the Colored citizen. These conditions in most cases are only known to exist, and is the exception when any of them are fully understood. Therefore it is the aim of this club to inquire into these conditions and as far as possible to offer remedies and also to aid in the execution of the same. The idea of the organizers have been emphasized in the last two meetings viz: That the times demand the better informed, the more fortunate and prosperous to come out from their closets of seclusions and lift up those who are dying in the most pitiable surroundings. Savannah has in its midst men and women who have for the last 30 years been attending boarding schools in other cities and states. Their trainings have fitted them for this great work and if they are true to this training they must do their duty. The Men's Sunday club brings the opportunity to you. Will you accept? Do you doubt that there is something to be done? Read the report of the Savannah Health Officer: This report was read at the last meeting and a committee was appointed to endorse portions of it. Committees from the Men's Sunday club, the Frances E. W. Harper Society and Charity Hospital were appointed to consider plans for the establishment of a Day Nursery. Sunday the 28th of May, will be Ladies day, a special program has been arranged. You are most cordially invited to attend. Program for ladies day to-morrow: Song; Invocation; Remarks; Music, Hyden Quartett; Piano Solo, Miss Etta McIntosh; Agines Del, Hayden Quartett; Duet, "My Faith looks up to Thee" Mrs. F. H. Robinson and Miss Nettie Houston.

THE LAST LEAF
(Apropos of Dr. Osler's Joke)
I saw him once before
As he passed by the door,
And again
The pavement stones resound
As he totters over the ground
With his cane.
They say that in his prime,
Ero the pruning knife of time
Cut him down;
Not a better man was found
By the crier on his round
Thro' the town.
But now he walks the streets,
And he looks at all he meets
Sad and wan,
And he shakes his feeble head,
That it seems as if he said,
"They are gone."
The mossy marbles rest
On the lips that he has prest
In their bloom,
And the names he loved to hear
Have been carved for many a year
On the tomb.
My grandmamma has said—
Poor old lady, she is dead
Long ago—
That he had a Roman nose,
And his cheek was like a rose
In the snow.
But now his nose is thin,
And it does upon his chin,
Like a staff.
And a crook is in his back,
And a melancholy crack
In his laugh.
I know it is a sin
For me to so and grin
At him here.
But the old three-cornered hat,
And the breeches, and all that,
Are so queer!
And if I should live to be
The last leaf upon the tree
In his bloom,
Let them smile, and do now,
At the old forsaken bough
Where I cling.
—Oliver Wendoll Holmes.
WHO GOT THE BEST OF IT?
By Boodie Smith.
EALLY, now Mona, this is not like you to object to my going up to to Burtonville. You know a man's business has to be attended to, let matters be as they may.
EALLY, now Mona, this is not like you to object to my going up to Burtonville. You know a man's business has to be attended to, let matters be as they may. I'd like to let you go to the Springs, but I really must go to Burtonville, and you can get cousin Melissa to come stay with you while I am away." And Mr. Lee looked half eagerly at the pretty face of his wife as she bushed herself with the tea pouring.
Mona Sayton had been married to Horace Lee for about three years, and he had been quite a model husband; but here of late he had made two or three trips off without asking her to accompany him, a thing Mona did not quite understand, and she resolved she would see more into it.
"Why," she said, looking up from the hot muffin she was buttering, "I thought you attended to that business on the last trip you made up the Hudson with Mr. Mouton."
"Oh, yes"—his fair, handsome face fushing crimson—"so I did go up to attend to it; but there was a hitch somewhere. Women don't understand business, and I don't want your pretty head filled up with dry details, but think about your music, your birds, and go down to Stedart's and get that silk pattern you admired so much. There, won't that keep you from teasing? Run along and pack me a change or two of linen in my vallse, there is a pretty girl," he continued, as they rose from the breakfast table.
Mrs. Lee said nothing more, but as she busted herself in packing her husband's valise there was a resolute gleam in her pretty brown eyes that spoke volumes, had Mr. Lee not been so absorbed in his own affairs as not to notice it.
"H'm! he muttered. "She was easier to manage than I expected. I thought there would be the lest bit of a scene, but she took it more quietly than I thought. I reckon it is somewhat lonely here for her when I am gone. When I come back I'll take her for a trip to her uncle's, out in the country. I'll show her I am grateful for her acquiescence in this matter.
"Hurry up, my pet, or I'll be too late to catch the train," glancing at the little clock that stood on the mantel. "It's a quarter after seven now, and I've barely time to reach the station. There! Thanks; I'm ever so much obliged. Shall I leave word for cousin Melissa to come up this morning or this evening?" he inquired, as he was about starting.
"Thanks. You need not stop, as you will be pressed for time. I've half a mind to take a good nap till this evening, when I'll call, at aunt Minnie's and bring cousin Lissa back with me," she replied.
"Well, do so by all means. Take the map, for you were up late last night at Mrs. Hart's reception; but don't forget to call for Lissa. I'll be back in three or four days at furthest. Take care of yourself. By by."
After he was gone pretty Mona Lee sat down and indulged in a hearty cry, as almost any woman would in like circumstances; but she soon dried her eyes and set about packing her trunk with such haste that all preparations were complete in a few hours.
Taking out her purse, she counted
over her money with an anxious face.
her money and an anxious face.
"Two hundred—yes, two fifty. Surely that is as much as I'll need. But, for fear of an accident, I'll go to Horace's partner, Mr. Blye, and draw another hundred. I can tell him I'm going out of the city during Horace's absence, which I am—and I don't care who knows I am going, so no one knows where I am going. Horace thinks he is deceiving me, but we will see something about that business which is so hard to attend to, and women can't understand. Well, we will see what we will see."
She rang her bell, and when the servant girl came in she said:
"Patsy, you've been wishing to pay your mother a visit. You can go and stay till next Friday. Here are your wages. Be kind enough to request the housekeeper to remain and take care of the house till next Friday. She can keep one or two of the servants. To those she does not need she can give a holiday, but tell those who take holiday to be here by next Friday morning. You may go."
"By, Joye! what a superb form! Who is that lady, Norcross, in the blue walking suit, with the brown yell?"
"Mrs. McKenny, a widow—late arrival. She is a regular beauty, though. The lamented was a fortunate man."
"So you know her, do you? Introduce me, old boy, won't you?" eagerly inquired Mr. Horace Lee, as he and his friend, Harry Norcross, sat on the veranda of one of the most noted hotels at a fashionable watering place.
So the urgent business that was so pressing that he had refused to take his young wife to the Springs was here at this hotel on the veranda, and it seemed to be notling more nor less than that he had determined to take a few days' pleasure at this summer resort while his wife remained at home alone, or, at best, her only company her old maid cousin. This was the business that women couldn't understand.
No doubt he thought he could best enjoy himself minus his wife's company, for here at the Springs he did not scruple to pass as an unmarried man, and many were the flirtations he engaged in while on these trips. Of course, he meant no real harm, but he should have thought how he would have liked his wife to have done likewise.
Three whole days passed before he could succeed in getting an introduction to Mrs. McKenny, for she was very exclusive; but at last, one evening, just at dusk, he saw her promending on the plaza in company with a lady with whom he was well enough acquainted to ask the favor of an introduction to her friend, provided, of course, "the lady would do him the honor."
"May the flends seize the darkness! I can't catch even the slightest glimpse of her features; but from what I've already seen, and with that superb form, she cannot be aught else than beautiful. At any rate, I intend to cultivate her acquaintance so assiduously as to make up for the lost time. Jove! I've got to move fast, for my time is running short. Well, here goes for a day or two of fun."
From that night Mrs. McKenny was besieged. Bouquets of her favorite flowers, with tiny notes hidden in their fragrant depths, found their way to her room constantly. He was her escort on their moonlight salts, rambles and drives; but one singular thing that struck him was that he had never yet sneezed in getting a sight of her face. He could never meet her in the daytime. It was always night, and she invariably wore a vell and a long, fleece scarf of snowy whiteness, which she wound turban-like around her throat and head, and which he inwardly anthematized.
"Why won't you remove your vell sometimes?" he would say. "I can never see your face. Will you not raise it now!" he pleaded, on one of their promenades.
"No, no; not now," she hastily replied, in a husky voice. "I cannot come out in the evening air without my scarf. I have to wear it for protection. I am subject to a weak throat, and I really cannot do without it."
"But you could raise it from your face just one half minute, can you not? Reflect that I never yet have seen your face."
"Do you really care to see my face—and, if so, why? I may disappoint you," she replied.
"No, no! I know that your face can be none other than most lovely. Remember my devotion, I pray you. My soul is starving for a look into thine eyes."
"I warn you that you will be disappointed. You must take all the blame upon yourself, and I assure you now that you will regret it in two seconds after it is done."
"Regret it? No, no. I shall be—"
"There are too many observers now, but if you really desire to meet me face to face, meet me in the back drawing room to-morrow evening at half-past eight. That room is usually deserted at that hour."
"How can I ever thank you? But I don't think I can survive through all the long hours till light to-morrow. But I shall live by anticipations of the sweet triumphs of that hour."
All through the hours of the next day Horace Lee longed about the hotel, whistling, smoking and trying to while away the tedious minutes. At dusk he went out and bought a magnificent bouquet of freshly cut flowers—camellias, hellotrophe, tuberose and geranium leaves—which he sent up to Mrs. McKenny's room, with a written
verse of tender, loving poetry, and at the bottom of it a request that she reciprocated, the tender feelings expressed in the verse, would she grant his request to wear a bungee of the hellotrope in her hair at the coming interview?
When the appointed hour of the meeting came he repaired promptly to the drawing room. In the semi-darkness he thought the room unoccupied, but as his eyes became accustomed to the gloom he saw a familiar figure standing near the mantel, with an arm raised in the act of turning on the light.
Hearing his step as he entered the room, the lady slowly turned her face toward him, as at the same moment she flooded the room with light.
"Merciful heavens! Mona?"
"Yes, Horace! It is I."
Yes, Horace Lee hung his head. When he raised it shame and remorse seemed struggling for mastery. At last he spoke:
"Well, Mona, you've got the best of it. If you will forgive me I'll solemnly swear I'll never be guilty of this again."
"I'll forgive you, Horace, and I'll bear to reproach you; but are you ready to go home to day?"
"Yes; but, Mona" and here he looked sheepish—"don't let this get out. Keep up the character, and just give out that you are going home. Go off by yourself, and I'll overtake you at the next station. Nobody will suspect."
Mrs. Lee was hurt, but she felt that she had so much the advantage that she could afford to be generous, so she packed up and left for home. Mr. Lee joined Mrs. Lee at the next station, and as they journeyed to New York he promised faithfully that he would never be guilty of such an indiscretion again.
Mrs. Lee never exposed him to anyone, and Mr. Lee reformed from that hour. Mrs. Lee avers that he would have gone on for years, and brought her no end of trouble, had she not had the courage to follow him and play her little game. For, says she, suppose I had done, as so many wives do, sat down here at home and cried all my good looks away, and where. would we have been? Separated, without a doubt. So let us rejoice that she was of true courage—New York Weekly.
Rash the Collectors:
What earthly reason is there why a publisher should do business on a different basis than any other business man? Why should a publisher allow a slow-paying customer to go on pimping up a debt? None whatever. The fault is all with the publisher, or should we say, all with the "habit"? So often have we met with a publisher who would not push a certain advertiser, because he felt that he would lose the business if he did. Well, what earthly good is the patronage of a man who is either slow pay, or does not pay at all? Take it home to yourself. If you do not meet salaries, how long do your men stay with you? If you do not pay your paper bill, how long does the paper maker stand by you? Do you dare receive a bill from a creditor, month after month, and never say a word? Indeed, no. Yet, you have customers on your books to day, to whom you have sent bill after bill, and they haven't付 us much attention to them as you pay to a-stray copy of the Congressional Record on a rainy afternoon. It isn't good business, and you know it isn't. Then why continue it?—Nowspaperdom.
Social Media Management
Socialistic Menace Exaggerated.
Socialism is less of a menace to the United States than had been feared. Eugene V. Debs, the Social Democratic candidate for President, boasted, shortly after his nomination last May, that he would get 1,000,000 votes in 1904. Immediately after the election he said his poll had reached 700,000. The official figures show that it was a fraction short of 400,000. Yet it will be well for the American people to keep Socialism as a political force in mind. Mr. Debs, who was the candidate of his party in 1900, also, received 88,000 votes in that year. A jump from 88,000 to 400,000 votes in four years represents a far larger gain than was made by any of the other minor parties. The Populist vote increased from 50,000 in 1900 to 125,000 in 1904; the Prohibition poll advanced from 200,000 to 248,000, while the Social Labor vote, which was 40,000 in 1900, was down to 34,000 in 1904. -Leslie's Weekly.
Hotel-on Wheels.
Old sleeping cars and parlor cars bring good money in rental before they are sent to the junk shop. They are chiefly wanted by showmen and travelling photographers, who run all over the country with them during the summer. You find them sidetracked at all small towns. Some are used by medicine men and agents of all kinds, who travel in large groups. Scores of these cars are in the hands of strolling players who want to remain idle until next season.
The rental of these movable hotels has developed into a recognized industry. A bond is required for the return of the car to the point where it was hired. From ten to twenty, persons can live comfortably on an ordinary "show" car—New York Press.
An Egyptian Bill of Fare.
"I have sometimes wondered, what people had to eat in ancient times before breakfast foods were invented," said Professor Robert W. Rogers, of Drew Theological Seminary, and then he went on to give a translation he had made of a piece of papyrus dug from an Egyptian mound and which bore the date of "A. D. 1," which contained a household list of things eaten on certain days.
Among these was for one day a dish of liver; "two small loaves and a bird from the water and two snips" for another day, and on another "ten oysters and one lettuce."—Baltimore Sun.
LION SHOOTING IN INDIA.
Mr. Percy Cross. Standing describes in the Christmas number of the Pall Mall Magazine some hunting adventures he shared with the famous cricketer in India: "In the very small hours I was aroused from sweet slumber by Ranjitsinhji," he says, "who rushed into my tent in a greater state of excitement than I had ever witnessed in him before. 'For the Lord's sake, get up, get up!' he cried, dragging me from under the sheltering mosquitoes. 'Do you know what has happened?' No, I didn't know. But I rushed from the tent in his wake, to find that a lion and lioness had just been into camp, had selked and killed one of our horses while we were all asleep, had almost entirely devoured the carcass, and had then made good their escape across the river. The remains of the horse (which had been tethered by itself) presented a slickening spectacle, little being left save the head and the haunches. Disturbed by the flashing of torches ere they had finished their meal, the lions had rushed right through our camp between the line of tents and had afterward, with commissure audacity, returned to finish their supper. It had meant short shrift for any of us who had been picked up that night; for our sentries were fast asleep, and in any case they could not have made a very formidable show with the muzzle-loading rifles with which a beneficent Government consents to arm the infantry of India's ruling chiefs.
"About eleven o'clock the familiar roaring broke out from the further bank of the river. The night was dark. The roaring continued at intervals for a couple of hours—so did the carefully regulated bleating of a terrified goat, which had been tied up to a sapling. But in the meantime the lion and his mate had stealthily passed over the river, and about 1.15 m. m. the lioness suddenly emerged from the darkness, seized the goat, sapling and all, and disappeared as swiftly as she had come. The occupants of the machans had been fitfully dozing, but now they were well awake. A few seconds later the lion appeared. He had been to look at the horse's skeleton. He was in no particular hurry. He was a little puzzled at the gon-appearance of his wife, that was all. But the delay was his own undoing.
"Crack!" went the expresses. The lion staggered convulsively, then disappeared in the dark."
WOULD NOT SURRENDER
The Royal Engineers share a motto with the artillery; it is "Ubique," and below are the words, "Que-ras et gloria dueunt." These "Mudarks" or "Messurers," these "Flying Bricklayers," as they are variously called in nickname, have been everywhere. One of the early and by no means the least extraordinary scenes connected with military engineering happened at Alcante, which we held in 1709, and where we were then besteged by the French. These could not breach the walls, so they set to work on a mine which eventually reached a spot just below the citadel.
The English Engineers, tracing its position as best they could, drove shafts down toward the mine, in the hope that they would weaken the shock of the explosion. At last the French were ready, and sent a polite invitation to the English commander, asking whether he would care to inspect the mine which verily was about to blow him and his into the air. Two English officers were commissioned to go; and they found everything as the enemy had said. Then came the offer, "Would the English not surrender now that they saw the hopelessness of their position?"
But the English General said, "No." he would risk the dire effects. To add stupidity to bravado he, with his chief officers on duty at the time, on the morning of the day fixed by the French, took up a position immediately over the centre of the mine. Twelve hundred barrels of gunpowder rent the parade ground as if by an earthquake, and the General, with the bulk of his companions, disappeared in the reclosing ground. The survivors held the castle for another month, however. It is an example of the somewhat delicate borderline between the soldier and the brave man—not always necessarily the same.—Lelsure Hour.
DEATH OF BORKE'S DRIFT HERO
DEATH OF RORKE'S DRIFT HERO
Sergeant Henry Hook, V. C., formerly of the Twenty-fourth Regiment, died at Gloucester on Sunday at the age of fifty-four. Sergeant Hook, who won his Victoria Cross at the defense of Rorke's Drift, was an attendant of the British Museum for twenty years and recently retired owing to ill-health, his V. C. pension of £10 being increased to £50 by the War Office. The cause of death was consumption. When the Zulus attacked Rorke's Drift on January 22, 1879, Sergeant (then Private) Hook was in charge of six wounded men who had been placed in a room of a building situated at the extremity of the lager. After helping Private John Williams to rescue the patients in the adjoining room and, with him, defending the door and windows by rifle fire through loopholes, Hook, when at last the door was carried, and the Zulus attempted to rush into the room, held, the door single-handed against the enemy while Williams moved the patients out of the room into the next one nearest the lager. Hook retreated last, carrying in his arms one of the patients whose leg was broken. Although the Zulus had meanwhile fired the roof of the building, this
operation was twice repeated. Hook being the last of the party, to leave the rooms, through which they were retiring, and, finally, the last to pass out of the window which opened into the laager.—London Times.
A. WILD PET.
If a gift-horse is not to be criticized, neither, perhaps, is a gift-leopard, yet there are some who might question the desirability of the latter as a present. When Lady Burton was in Syria the Pasha sent her such a beast as a mark of esteem, of which she writes in her "Journal."
The leopard's name was Abu Faris, which means "father of the horseman," so called because, like the Indian chetah, it is used for hunting deer, and is carried on the rider's crupper. Abu grew in size and beauty, and became a great pet. He had hold, bad black eyes, which seemed to say, "Be afraid of me." He soon learned that he must not worry the household, but he loved to tease the animals, especially the Persian cat.
He used to take his nags on my bed, and once an Englishman, not knowing the way about the house, walked by mistake into my room at sleesta time, and found me a sleep, with a leopard curled up on my feet. He rushed off in great fright and called my husband to come quickly with a gun. I had great games of hide-and-seek with Abu in the garden. He often got pretty rough in his sport, but a hard box on the ears would subdue him. A sheik, visiting me, saw the leopard at play, and admired his grace and beauty. "I have often killed the leopard in the desert," he said, "but now I see how beautiful it is and how it can be tamed I shall never be able to kill one again."
Abu's end was sad. He was undoubtedly poisoned by the villagers, who stood in fear of him. He withered away and nothing did him any good. He used to lie among the horses for warmth, and one eve, when I went out to take a 'last look at the stables, he crawled from under Salim, and put up a paw to me. I sat down and took him in my arms like a child, and in half an hour he died.
A LITTLE HERO.
In the December's Woman's Home Companion, Commander Booth-Tucker of the Salvation Army relates the following pathetic incident which happened at one of their Christmas dinners:
"The pathos of such gatherings can easily be imagined. At the Grand Central Palace, New York City, last Christmas day, a bright little lad attracted our attention. He had come to receive a basket for his family. He seemed a manly little fellow, and waited without a murmur, holding fast to his precious ticket. There were five other children in the family, he said, all younger than he, and he was twelve. Father had had his foot injured six weeks before by molten lead being spilled on it. Work was, none to plentiful, anyway, but now he was unable to do it if it was to be had. Mother! No, mother couldn't work, either. She'd been laid up for some time with rheumatism.
"Dear me, that is too bad,' symphized somebody. 'Who, then, looks after the family?'
"I takes care of the family, ma'am,' he answered, brightly. 'I does the housework, washes the children and looks after things.'
"You're a brick!' declared the one addressed. 'But' as a sudden thought struck her, 'who will cook the dinner for you today?'
"And he' answered, with a smile, but seriously, 'I will, ma'am.'
"God bless him and others like him."
WHALE ATTACKS STEAMER
The Sound steamer Multnomah was attacked by a fifty-foot whale just off Old Tacoma, Wash., and for a few minutes the vessel's 200 passengers were panic stricken over the possibility of a repetition of the story of Jonah.
The whale hove in sight, dead ahead, and not far away. Then it dived, spotted several times and started for the steamer. "Full speed astern" was signalled, and the captain ordered preparations for lowering the lifeboats. The whale passed under the steamer and made her rock and tumble, as though she had struck the rocks at full speed.
After this caper the whale disappeared. The monster has paid more or less serious attention to several other craft. There are big red spots on its back, it is said, caused by scraping the paint from the bottom of the battleship Nebraska in Seattle Harbor two weeks ago.
RISKED LIFE TO SAVE CHILD.
Playing around a burning brush heap at Westville, N. J., five-year-old Jennie Bowe never noticed that her clothes were ablaze until she felt the flames circling around her face. Her screams brought her mother, who grabbed the blazing child in her arms and tore the garments from her little form. The fire communicated to Mrs. Bowe's clothing, and mother and child were badly burned.
Sneezed the Bullet.
Col. Sidney G. Cooke, local manager of the Leavenworth Soldiers' Home, probably is the only man in the world who ever kneezed a bullet out of his head. He was badly wounded at the battle of the wilderness, a Confederate bullet having penetrated his brain. He was taken prisoner and sent to Andersonville, after having his wound dressed by a doctor, who did not attempt to extract the bullet. Cooke recovered, and the lead in his "noggin" did not bother him at all. One day he commenced to sneeze and he nearly sneezed himself to death. He sneezed for ten days. With the last sneezes came the bullet-Leavenworth Times.
POPULAR SCIENCE
oyster beds. It is estimated by the fish commission of the United States that they do damage to the extent of $250,000 annually, to American oyster beds.
To telephone from the bowels of the earth in any one of its fifty-four mines direct to the company's headquarters, at Pottsville, is the feat the Reading Company expects to accomplish. The company is trying a new style of telephone in its inside mine workings, to expedite and safeguard the business.
The photography of objects moving at high speeds, or, what is the same thing, the taking of a photograph by exceedingly brief exposure—n thousandth of a second or less—is one of the most interesting achievements of modern science. This high-speed work dates back scarcely ten years, yet pictures that involve it are passed by without special comment.
Photography, which has caught the Empire State Express in full motion by the cinematograph, has also been brought into use to depict, with equal fidelity, action so slow as the growth of a flower, according to The Indianapolis News. By exposing a plant, every quarter of an hour for sixteen days to a camera it is now possible to watch a bud open gradually; to see the blossoms close at night and reopen in the morning; to see the leaves increase in size and the stamens, peep out. And all in the space of a minute of two.
Certain fabrics are being made in Europe, the warp of which is composed of cotton and the woof of a thread made from wood pulp. These goods were introduced almost four years ago. At the outset sheets of wood-pulp paper were cut into finest shreds and twisted into thread by machines made for the purpose. Lately the paper process has been abandoned, and wood pulp is passed directly over grooved-metal sheets, forming very thin ribbons, which pass in turn over a machine that twists them into a very regular thread of any desired length.
Hearts of cold-blooded animals will beat for a comparatively long time after death or removed from the body (if kept cool and molst), because of powerful internal collections of nerves, known as ganglia, whose automatic impulses cause the regular contractions of the muscles. Similar ganglia exist in man and other warm-blooded animals, but their action is less prolonged. Scientists have ascertained that a turtle's heart will beat after removal, if put on a piece of glass, kept cool and molst, and covered with n. bell-jar. I believe it has been known to beat thirty-six or even forty-eight hours; twelve or fourteen hours is a common record. St. Nicholas.
THE MODERN BABY:
Young America Finds Much Paraphernals and Impediments Awailing Him.
When an American baby arrives in the world he finds enough paraphernula and impedimenta awaiting him to furnish forth all the papooses of a numerous native tribe.
The garments that were authorized for the baby's immediate predecessor are already discarded by science. The slips and jackets that were used at an analogous time by big brother will not do for him. All baby clothes must now be in one piece. Or is it three pieces? No one can tell till the fatal moment. And as for soaps and powders, the brands that were used five minutes ago are now esteemed extremely deleterious. Soaps, in fact, are nothing. What we want is skin-foods.
Meanwhile, if the thermometer is overlooked the consequences will be dire. If the baby didn't have a thermometer he probably would refuse to have a temperature. 'And if he didn't have a pair of scales he might refuse to have any weight. Some-kind of weighing machine is essential. And an individual bath-tub! So that he can be begged before and after his swim to see what effect it has on him. The cradle must be thrown away. It goes to the junk-heap. The thing to spend your money on now is a bassinet. Next year, for the next baby, it may be a hermetically sealed testube. Where, oh, where is the drift toward the Simple Life? Certainly not in the baby's food. Alligator oil rubbed in through the chest is the real nourishment. And cheese made from the milk of the goats of the Caucasus is an indispensable element of diet—Chicago Tribune.
Flies Through a Glass.
That a prairie chicken files with sufficient speed to propel itself through heavy plate glass was proven by a recent incident at the little town of Wesley, Beadle County. Prof. Shepard, of the village school, in the discharge of his duty rang the school bell, when a couple of prairie chickens that had taken, refuge in the schoolhouse lower from a storm were frightened from their place of refuge. They flew as straight and swift as an arrow for the plate-glass front of a business house. The glass was five-eighths of an inch in thickness, but one of the prairie chickens went straight-through it as though it was paper, and dropped dead on the floor inside the building at a distance of about twenty feet from the window. The prairie chicken went through the plate-glass with sufficient force to cut a hole six inches in diameter, in the heavy glass. Sloux Falls special to Minnesota Tribune.
IN WOMAN'S REALM
To Keep an Umbrella.
An umbrella should not be opened out to dry, as the stretchers are apt to warp in the bent form, giving the unsightly appearance when the umbrella is closed. The silk should be left to drain with the handle downward, and gently wiped with an old silk handkerchief.
A Copy Living Room.
A delightful idea for a country cottage living room is shown in one of the art decorating shops. The scheme is brown and yellow, with gleams of green. The furniture is browned oak with cushions of browned linex; the draperies are lattice cloth of brown and green. The lamp is of brown pottery, with a Jap paper shade showing yellow daffodils and long green leaves. On a shelf is seen some dull green pottery and a bunch of yellow crocuses in a brown vase delights the eye on a small table.
Cheerful Philosophy.
When I could not obtain large pleasures I put together as many small ones as possible. Small pleasures, depend upon it, lie about as thick as daisies in summer, and for that very reason are neglected, trodden under foot, instead of being worn in our buttonholes. We cannot afford to buy roses at Christmas, or camellias at any time, and so we couple buttercups with vulgarity, and things that grow in the hedge side we let wither where they grow, for no other reason than that the king's highway is not a royal garden—Woman's Life.
How to Care For the Hair.
Mothers should teach their girls to care for their hair as early as possible. If a girl is coaxed into the habit of giving her locks a hundred strokes with a clean brush every morning and every evening and braiding them loosely for bed, the foundation for a future beautiful head of hair will be laid. Too many children are allowed to go to bed with their hair in taued condition, only to have it jerked and tangled hastily when school time comes around. Such a practice is disastrous to the nerves of a sensitive child and rulous to the hair. Never allow one child to use the other's hairbrush. Indianapolis News.
Scraps of Leaf.
Scraps of lace, both new and old, and especially those of floral design, are most useful to the ingenuous and tasteful woman for beautifying her gowns. She begins by cutting out the leaves and flowers from the net foundation and applying them to the silk or other material which she desires to adorn. Then she works over the design, covering up the lace well with silk, and so gaining a really good effect. The lace answers all the purpose of a stamped design, and indeed it is better, for it causes the embroidery to stand out well without any padding, and, if nicely arranged, is more pleasing and far more original looking than any of the patterns, sold at shops, which every one may have who cares to pay for them.—Newark Advertiser.
The Girl Who Poses.
Have you ever happened to meet the girl who is always posing? There are girls, and many of them, who are afflicted with this habit, and it is, indeed, a bad one. Just give her a seat within range of a mirror, or the visions of some few persons, and she is content; give her a sympathetic listener, a pair of admiring eyes and that is all she asks.
Her one redeeming feature is the fact that she had rather pose than talk. Her silence is to those near her, really golden. At home the mirror is this girl's most constant companion, and before it she studies herself in every conceivable attitude, looking for her best points so that she may show them. If she has one really good feature that is brought into effect at all times; if is never allowed to go unobserved. Her companions and friends are never allowed to forget for one moment that she possesses that feature.
The girl who poses never forgets herself and her attitudes long enough to do things for which she might be loved. She is generally not popular with either sex, for she is too obviously seeking effect. There is nothing genuine about her.
How to Look Young.
A young old woman Yes, there are such women, but they are also few and far between. A limited number of the female sex have really found the art of growing young even though Father Times tries all in his power to discourage it, but it cannot be accomplished by the beauty doctors, masseurs or physical culture teachers. As one noted beauty says, "it is easily accomplished by simply overlooking the approach of old age." A woman who wishes to retain youth cannot afford to worry over trifles, and much less over large affairs. A statement that there is no trouble large enough to pay for one wrinkle, may be attrib-
uted to one who knows how matters stand, and perhaps if more women would accept advice of this nature there would be less old women. The grace of growing old is the art of remaining young. If one did not worry there would be less wrinkles to fight, fewer complexion doctors necessary and greater happiness would exist.
Girls entering school worry until they graduate, then worry about getting a husband, and after capturing one worry for their children until they are along into years, and practically the same thing occurs over again. The mother worries her future son-in-law and daughter-in-law, and when all is accomplished she begins to realize her advancing age, and steps are taken immediately to undo all that the past years have done and it is one of the things that cannot be accomplished. One must start from the beginning, and it is well to teach the daughters the value of self composure, of checking their nerves before it is too late, the great art of looking at life pleasantly, and not taking it too serious a matter. Life is short, almost too short, but during that time women cannot afford to allow age to come upon them until it is time. It is their duty to look as well as possible at all times and not for a moment must it be considered a burden—Newark Advertiser.
Fashions For Little Boys' Suits.
Little boy fashion to suit the little boy's mamma must unite a certain elegance and taste with 'small expense. Just at present there are two general styles from which all others are derived—one the plain blouse relieved with straps, a large collar, reveres and similar trappings, and the other a pleated or tucked blouse which is adorned and varied in like fashion. Both are long waisted, with long effect, from the shoulder to the hem of the blouse, and the wide belt is drawn down in the front to a moderate degree.
Modes for the little folks are less rigid than formerly, and especially in the little boy's wear, and his mamma has the privilege of reckoning with his age, stature and size in general. The patterns are growing simpler. One will find now that, the tucked blouse has quite taken the place of the founced and ruffled ones, which were worn by boys several seasons ago. Lightweight serge and cloth are used extensively as the most popular materials for the boy for his spring attire, and such suits are economical and stylish.
For boys under six years of age there is no style of dress more becoming than the kilt, made Highland fashion, and a blouse. Moreover, the kilt is a much more healthy dress than trousers, as it gives perfect freedom, while providing a sufficient amount of warmth for the most vital parts of the body. The chief thing in putting a child into kiltds to be sure and have the skirt kilted, and not side pleated, which last named more often than not sticks out on all sides with quite a ballet skirt effect.
In a proper Highland skirt the skirt must be no longer or shorter than to just cover the tips of the knees, the waist edge being at the height of the waist edge of the trousers, and finished in the same way, if suspenders are to worn. Otherwise the skirt should be sewn to a lining bodice. There is never any marked change in the fashions for small boys' clothes during the hot days, for the sailor and Russian blouse suits seem to be the best that can be designed, and, consequently, the fashion remains in favor in all weathers.
FRILLS
FASHION
Lighter patterns in silk braid are the vogue.
Novelties in both color and design prevail.
Horizontal tucks for the bottom of skirts are all very large.
The keynote of good style in embroidered trimmings is the broderie anglaise.
Velvet bands and bows will give just the right touch to the fashionable costume of fancy silk.
A very smart trimming for silk or fine cloth is a combination of Venise lace and broderie anglaise.
A three inch Hercules' braid, embroidered in silk in Persian colors, is a recent idea in dress garments.
Laces will adorn everything this season, and Valenciennes, the most exquisite of fine laces, is in highest vogue.
Little ribbon and silk bows, sometimes so small they suggest tuftings, are used to dot surfaces and spaces that otherwise would be flat, trimming skirt flounces, bodice, yokes, etc.
CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT
THE SHEARING.
The day they cut the baby's hair
The house was all a fidget;
Such fuses they made, you would have said
He was a king—the middget!
Some wanted this, some wanted that;
Some thought that it was dreadful.
To lay a hand upon one strand
Of all that precious headful.
While other said, to leave his curls
Would be the height ofolly,
Unless they put him with the girls
And called him Sue or Molly.
The barber's shears went snip-a-snip,
The golden fluff was flying;
Grandmother had a trembling lip,
And aunt was almost crying.
The men folks said, "Why, hello, Boss,
You're looking five years older!"
But mother laid the shaven head
Close, close against her shoulder.
Ah, well, the nest must lose its birds,
The cradle yield its treasure;
Time will not stay a single day
For any pleader's pleasure.
And when that hour's work was weighed,
the stakes were even maybe;
For the little man, it might be better.
A VISITING RAINBOW.
Nap-time was over in the "getting-well" room of the accident ward of the children's hospital. After nap-time came story-time, and Nurse Gilbert, who had charge of the room, could tell the most charming stories—stories that made the little children forget they were lying in a bed and could not run about, jump and play. It was the best hour of all.
The children took turns choosing what the story should be about. Today it was little Marle Alberti's turn to choose. It was a dull, gray afternoon. Outside the snow was falling, and the wind was scooping it up and tossing it against the windows? and heaping it in drifts in the street. Marle had come from Italy, where the days are long and sunny, and she did not like the cold and the snow. She thought often of the green fields filled with flowers, where she used to play, and longed to go back to them.
"What shall the story be about?" said Nurse Gilbert.
Marie looked at the storm outside; then she looked at Nurse Gilbert, who was busy sewing bright-colored ribbons together to make a bag.
"Oh, oh!" she said. "Tell us a story of a rainbow, a bright, beautiful rainbow; such as spreads itself after a rain over my hills of Flesole."
So Nurse Gilbert told of the strange adventures of a little boy and girl who went out to search for the pot of gold which fairy stories say may be found at the end of a rainbow.
While Nurse Gilbert was telling the story Marie forgot about the snow and the cold, but when it was finished she sighed and said: "Oh, how, I wish I could see again a beautiful rainbow!"
The next day, when nap-time was over, the sun was looking in at the windows, as-if to see how the children were-getting on since his last visit.
But what did Marle Alberti see on the wall over her bed? She looked and looked. Surely it was a piece of a rainbow.
All the children wanted to know where the rainbow came from, and Nurse Gilbert went to one of the windows, and took from the ledge a piece of glass.
It was cut in diamonds and squares, and when she moved it to, and fro in the sunshine the children saw pieces of rainbows dancing about the room.
"This ball of cut glass is what makes the rainbows," she said. "It used to make rainbows for me when I was a little girl. Now it may make rainbows for you."
Each day the glass set in the window, and when the sun shown the rainbows came on the wall and traveled slowly round the room, and the glass stood in such a way that the rainbow began at Marle's bed and traveled down the room to little Betsy Frazer.
One day, when Marleah been watching the rainbow for a long time, she said to Nurse Gilbert:
"Do you think, Nurse Gilbert, that the children in the other room would like to see the rainbow?"
"Why, to be sure," said Nurse Gilbert. "Shall I send the rainbow-maker to pay them a visit?"
"Yes, yes!" cried all the children. "Let it go visiting the others, and see if they like it."
They liked it so well that what do you think Nurse Gilbert did? Why, the very next time she went shopping she bought a glass rainbow-maker for each of the rooms where the children were ill, and now every day when the sun shines beautiful rainbows come visiting the children who lay in the little white beds.—Elizabeth Flint Wade, in Youth's Companion.
DOROTHY'S BIRTHDAY GUESTS.
Dorothy was to have a birthday party, and had been promised that she should make out the list of guests herself.
Dorothy called in her very best friend, Caroline, to help her, and the two, with paper and pencil, devoted at least an hour to deciding who should be the ones favored with invitations. When the list was completed, it was brought to the smiling mother for approval. Her eyes opened with astonishment, for it was a yard long, consisting of pieces of paper pasted together.
"Why, child!" she exclaimed, "what have you here?" "Only 500 names," said Dorothy, "and at the ball I read about in the paper the other day there were 600 people, and I guess I want to be as fashionable as other people." The mother run her eyes over the list. It included all Dorothy's playmates and most of her acquaintances, and then followed a list of such names as Ala Baba, Harom Alraschid and the like. "Where in the world did you get these names?" inquired the mother. "Who are these people?" "Oh, I got them out of the 'Arabian Nights,'" said Dorothy. "But you don't need to be afraid. I don't believe more'n half of 'em will come." "Ah, yes, I remember now," said the mother. "I thought 'those names sounded familiar. Go on and invite them."
And then she added, meditatively, with a look back into her own youth: "I wish they would come—all of them." —IndianaPoll. News
THE INVISIBLE MADE VISIBLE.
Here is a way in which you, too, may join the ranks of those who control the magic power over the seen and the unseen. It is, perhaps, a very humble experiment with which to introduce yourself into the wizards' circle. Yet it will demonstrate conclusively that you have the same power (in a sense) as the greatest practitioners of the black art.
Procure an empty basin. Set it near the edge of a table. Place a coin in the centre of the bottom. Then ask one of the spectators to first stand alongside the basin and then to walk slowly backward until the coin is hidden from his eyes by the rim of the bowl, and
FIG.1
FIG.2
the inside of the bowl looks, as shown in Fig. 1.
Now direct the person, to watch the bowl intently. Make him admit that he sees nothing. Then modestly state that you will cause the coin which he knows is in the bottom of the basin, though invisible to him, to become visible without his moving an inch or you touching it.
He says it can't be done. You call for a pitcher of clear water; pour it slowly into the basin until it is about half full. When it settles the result will be as shown in Fig. 2. The coin will appear perfectly visible to the eye, of the surprised onlooker, and you will have proved your power to make the invisible become visible—in this case, at least—New York Evening Mall.
EATING HIS TABL
Freddie despised the multiplication table. It was easy to learn to read and spell, but the multiplication table—he couldn't just remember.
One day mother brought him a bag of tiny colored candles.
"Now," she said, "there are five candles in a row, and eight rows. How many candies?"
"Forty," promptly.
"Now make seven times five, and four times five and the rest. When you have made the whole table, learn it. When you have learned it, eat it!"
It was a splendid way to learn tables! Freddie forgot that they were tables.
He went to work with a will, and when the teacher—that is, mother—said, "School's out!" he had learned his five tables. He didn't eat them till after school.
He often shared his tables with the next door twins. One day the next door twins' teacher was making their mother a call. Freddie was making one on the next door twins. "Don't you go to school, little boy?" the teacher asked him. "Oh, yes," politely.
"Oh, you do? Well, I suppose you think the multiplication table is perfectly dreadful, too?"
"Oh, no!!" eagerly. "I'm fond of mine."
"Indeed! How far along are you?"
"I've only eaten as far along as seven times seven, yet," said Freddie. Adapted from Youth's Companion.

THE combination of these two weekly papers—the one for news, the other purely literary—makes an ideal offer for every Southern household.
THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION, 12 to 16 pages, contains the news of the week carefully prepared and intelligently presented. Its agricultural features alone are worth many times its subscription price. Its market page is always complete. Its Woman's Kingdom and Children's Department are the best read and most appreciated pages at the fireside. Its special articles and contributions are of the highest standard.
THE SUNNY SOUTH is the recognized literary leader of the South, popular throughout its wide territory, and known by its great work in the introduction of new Southern writers to the literary world. Many of its short story contests have brought to light authors whose fame and fortune have been made possible by The Sunny South. It is welcomed in over 50,000 homes today and is destined to be the leading American story and household paper. This wonderful combination blends all that is desirable in a home reading offer, two complete papers every week, and 1905 will demonstrate to you its value and insure your enrollment as a lifetime subscriber.

New Cemetery.
New Cemetery. It will be remembered by many of our readers-that several years ago a tract of land on the Skidaway road, four miles from the city was donated to the colored people of this county. There are 1864 lots in the tract, each 10 by 20. This tract is high and dry and conveniently reached by paved roads. The trustees consisting of Rev. H. Maxwell, Rev. R. H. Thomas, Mr. Jackson Tattnall and Mr. Felix Molntosh, are endeavoring to make this place attractive for its purpose. They have erected a small house on the tract for the keeper, and have a great part of it under wire fence. Laurel Grove Cemetery will soon be filled and the sooner our people's attention is called to this desirable spot, the better it will be for them.
Bethel A. M. E. Church
A very large congregation attended Bethel on Sunday, to hear our pastor the Rev. E. Lowery preach the two sermons mentioned in last week's issue; they evidenced great satisfaction. The sermons were deep and profound, and made a lasting impression. There was one added to the church, but our hearts were saddened when we learned that the monster death had visited our ranks and taken two of our good members, in the person of brothers Sampson Bennett and Joe Gipson; their funerals were attended on
Monday by the pastor, assisted by Rev. R. M. S. Taylor the presiding elder; a very large congregation attended the funerals. Bro. Joe Gipson was honored by the order of Odd Fellows of which he was a member, they followed his remains to its last resting place. The music led by Mrs. L. Holley was appropriate and effecting. We feel that our loss is Heaven's gain.
St. Phillips Dots
Rey. Sims returned last week after having pached the Commencement Sermon to the students of Turners Theological Seminary at Atlanta Ga., and was also in attendance at St. Louis, Mo of the 25th anniversary of Bishop Turner's Bishopric. Rev Sims reports that the anniversary was celebrated in a fitting manner and a great many prominent ministers were there from all parts of the country.
Quite a large congregation was out on Sunday at 11 a. m. to hear Rev Sims after his return. His subject was "Patience" and as usual every person that was present felt that it was good to be in the house of the Lord. At 8 p. m. Rev. Sims preached a very interesting sermon to a large crowd. The prayer of our members is to keep the good work moving along until the last one is wiped out of existence. What the Grand Jury did this week is something greatly needed for it is dragging our poor people down to degradation inoch by inch every day. Away with policy shops, away with them is the sentiment of our church. Right is right and right will prevail even crushed to the ground but it will rise again. Let the pastors of our churches point out the evils that there is in it. To-morrow is Trustees day and it is hoped that our members will rally to them. The usual services will be held tomorrow end everybody is invited.
Revival Meeting.
On Wednesday night last special services begin at the F. B. B. church, Bryan street, Rev. Griffin, D. D. pastor. The meetings are being conducted by Rev. S. L. Johnson, the evangelist from Virginia.

Griffin invites all of his friends and the public to attend the meeting each night.
