VOL. XXIV. Laid Bare by Members of the Band on Witness Stand. WOMAN TELLS OF WHIPPING Mrs. Johnson Tells How She Was Dragged From Bed and Beaten Until She Promised to Withdraw Divorce Suit Union City, Tennessee.—The state practically completed its case against the eight alleged night riders, on trial for the murder of Captain Rankin, when it drew from Fehringer, a member of the band, a detailed statement, not only of the murder itself and those who committed it, but a score or more of other outrages. And then, just to add the finishing touches, it called to the stand Mrs. Emma Thurman Johnson, one of the women known to have been whipped the band and her tell her story. Judge Jones sent the jury cut of the room, and said: "There are eight defendants here charged with a capital offense. They are not handcuffed and are under guard of only two deputies. Therefore, I order the sheriff to handcuff these men and ask the military to detail ten armed men to serve as guard." Surrounded by a detail of six soldiers with shotten rifles and revolver holsters open, Frank Fehringer, member of the night riders who has turned.state's evidence, was brought into court to testify against his former as sociates of the mask. Fehringer was one of the first members of the band. The oath he took was; "I solemnly swear that I wish to join the society of night riders, and that I will never write, tell or talk about anything that happens upon on the riders or in conference." This is the shorter form of the oath. A large and more blood-curdling one was administered to others. The night rider garb consisted of long black coats, black masks trimmed in white and some had false bottoms attached to the bottom. Often the riders whipped men and women without knowing why except that the captain 'ordered it. Several prospective witnesses were similarly treated, but few of them will tell of it even now, so great is their terror. On October 19 the riders learned that Rankin and Judge Taylor were at Walnut Log hotel, in the heart of riders' country. Tld Burton, one of the defendants, told Fehringer to notify the band to meet that night to attend Rankin and Taylor. The riders met near Johnson's that night, and it included the eight defendants, by name. They proceeded to the hotel. 'Garrett Johnson' was the spokesman, wore the rope and whip, and gave the orders to Rankin and Taylor to dress. On the march to the densely wooded bank of the slough where Rankin was slain, Johnson did all the talking; the others, about fifty in number, including the defendants, following silently. As he put the rope on Rankin's neck, Fehringer said to the victim: "Do you want to say anything to the Lord. If you do, say it now." Rankin replied: "I have attended to it." Just as they pulled the rope, Bob Hoffman shot him, and Sam Applewhite said: "I know he is dead for I put a load of bicycle ball bearings in him." When Colonel Taylor jumped into the slough, everybody shot into the water. Meantime the men holding the rope lie go and Rankin beeped up and dropped to the ground. Just before the body fell, a rider, not on trial, emptied six 38-caliber bullets into the hanging man. Garrett Johnson addressed them before they dispersed. "Burn your masks," he said, "and say nothing about this night's work." Fehringer was arrested by the military and taken before Governor Patterson, who was personally in command. "Tell the truth," said Patterson. "If you do, I will give you an absolute pardon." Then he confessed. Mrs. Joe Johnson told how the riders came to the home of her father, where she was staying and told her to withdraw her suit for divorce. Upon her refusal to do as told, Mrs. Johnson, who is young and pretty, but who married an old man, was taken from her father's home to the woods nearby and fearfully whipped. She was stripped to the waist and beaten with a buggy trace, the end of which had been split into five strips. In bed with the young mother, when the riders dragged her out into the fquest-in her night robe, was her two-year-old baby. Mrs. Johnson told her story under strong objections from the defense. She broke down as she described how she was torn from her baby by the black-masked men. She pressed her divorce case and won her suit. RIGHT OF APPEAL For Government Asked by Attorney General Bonaparte. Washington, D. C.—That the United States should have the right of appeal to the supreme court of the United States as a matter of right, whenever a conviction is reversed on appeal by the defendant to a circuit court of appeals, is the opinion expressed by Attorney General Bonaparte in his report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1908. In this connection he cites the case of the reversal of the fine of more than $29,000,000, in which an application for the allowance of a writ of certiorari has been made to the supreme court. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1908. The CASTRO'S RULE OVER. Infuriated Mob Loots Caracas Destroying Valuable Property. Caracas, Venezuela—The people of Caracas arose against President Castro. An infuriated mob, unhindered by the police, swept through the city, wrecking the property of his henchmen and his closest friends. The people rounded up all the statues and pictures of President Castro from the clubs and other semi-public buildings and burned them with rejoicing on the Plaza Bolívar. Castro's rule in Venezuela probably is ended. In spite of Holland's warlike activity on the coast there have been no demonstrations against the Netherlands; they all have been directed against President Castro and Acting President Gomez. The first building to be attacked and looted was that of the lottery monopoly. The officers of the state enterprise that has enriched itself at the expense of the people were ransacked and pillaged. Furniture was broken and thrown into the streets and thousands of lottery tickets were destroyed. The crowd then moved to the printing office of El Constitucional, the organ of President Castro, of which Gumersino Rivas is editor, and pillaged it completely. A steam laundry, belonging to Senor Rivas also was wrecked. The crowd then turned its attention to several drug stores belonging to Senor Thielen, a son-in-law of General Tello Mendoza, and turned them inside out. The statues and pictures of President Castro were made into a huge bonfire on the Plaza Bolivar. The crowd cheered as the names completed the destruction of these effigies of the dictator. Numerous inscriptions setting forth the virtues of Castro and exulting his powers next attracted the installation of the mob, and every inscription bearing Castro's name was hacked out and erased. Some of these legends were carved on the public buildings of the city. El Constitucional has suspended publication and Caracas is practically without a newspaper. REAL INDIAN PASSING AWAY. None Will Be Left After Three Generations. Hefena, Mont.—Three generations more and I don't believe there will be a real Indian left in the country," said Special Agent Cone of the Indian service. Mr. Cone is here as a witness before the grand jury. He has spent the greater portion of his life in the Indian service. "White men's clothing and houses have signed the death warrant of the Indian," continued Mr. Cone. "Consumption and other diseases of a civilized people have gotten a foothold on every reservation in the country and the ranks of the full-blooded Indians are being decimated rapidly. This is particularly true of the older Indians who roamed the plains and the mountains before the creation of reservations and who have not been constitutionally fitted for the changed environments." ELEVEN SOLDIEGS DEAD. Methyl - Poisoning Resulted from Drinking Columbian Spirits. Washington, D. C.-General Lasker H. Bliss, in command of the force in the Phillipines, has reported the death of eleven enlisted men of the eighteenth regiment, stationed at Camp Keithley, Mindinao, from methyl poisoning, resulting from drinking Columbian spirits. Plan Air-Shin Express. Berlin, Germany.—The newspapers of Berlin publish details of the plans of a German company, with headquarters at Frankfort-on-the-Main, which purposes to build seven airships and malnaital regular sailings between twenty-four German cities. A number of capitalists and sporting men are said to be interested. The papers, however, treat the idea with skepticism. Mutiny on Ertlish Warship. London, Eng.-The third mutiny aboard a British warship within the last few months took place recently on the cruiser Amethyst, where the disaffection of the crew culminated in the men throwing the gun fittings overboard. The admiral stopped the shore leave of the Amethyst's men. Emperor Willain a Teefotaler. Berlin, Germany.—It is semi-officially announced from Potsdam palace that Emperor William was pledged himself to abstain from alcoholic drinks for the rest of his life. He will have a special drink with the sparkle of champagne, absolutely non-alcoholic, for use on state occasions. Cashier Short $85,000. Somersworth, N. H.—An unexpected visit of Bank Examiner N. S. Bean at the First National bank here uncovered a defalation estimated by the examiner at $8,000 and immediately following the discovery Fred M. Varney, cashier of the bank, was arrested Elected President of Haiti. Port au Prince, Haytai.—General Antoine Simon, the leader of the last revolution in Haytai that resulted in the flight of President Nord Alexis from the capital, and who made his triumphal entry into Port au Prince ten days ago has been elected president of the republic THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. CALL TO SOUTHLAND This Building will be Home of a Persistent Southern Propaganda at Home and Abroad. Montgomery, Ala.—That the clarton call to the southland, awakening it to a new era of industry and commercial progress, has been sounded through the recent southern congress, is the opinion of G. Grosvenor Dawe, director general of the congress. Mr. Dawe, in an interview with a representative of the Associated Press, said: "The Southern Commercial Congress was a stupendous project with a complex purpose. It was designed to make the south know itself; to make the south know and utilize the most fitting moment for such a congress that has never occurred in American history. "The spirit of, the congress was not to boast that the south was more gifted than the north, nor to stir up animosity, but simply to declare that the south, with its possessions, needed development in order to bring the nation to its proper development. The clarion call of the congress to the men of the south was for them to live at the south because the nation needs a greater south. "Hence the stupendous plan of the congress naturally led eager and able minds to evolve a stillmore stupendous plan and one that is just as sound and as sane, but which could not have been possible except as an outgrowth of the congress which suggested it. The project is a great office building and auditorium in Washington, a city in which no satisfactory auditorium can be found and in which office room is at a premium. This great building will be the home of a persistent southeast propaganda at home and abroad, and will be devoted to the furtherance of a common project in the south that will aid in bringing that section into a parity of development with the rest of the United States. There will be maintained there an exposition of resources arranged in such a way as to bring immediate results. "In a room devoted to health conditions would be the great facts of the south's advancing sanitation, thus demonstrating the vettiness of present fears as to the south. With similar perfection of detail the whole project will be carried out. "We are fully aware that many men for many years have rendered many services to the south by compiling statistics, by promoting development along special lines of railroad and by pushing individual enterprises, but never before in the history of the south has there been a long, carefully sustained co-operative effort among the leading business interests. This now promises to come into being, and $250,000 is already in sight for the purpose." RULES FOR SEA WARFARE Powers Agree on Code of Laws for the International Prize Court. London, England.—The views of the ten powers, the delegates from which are assembled here to decide upon a code of laws for the international prize court provided for at the last. The Hague conference, make a decidedly bulk volume. Some of the powers, like Japan, have submitted their proposal in the briefest form, while others, notably Great Britain, support their views with arguments and references to decisions which British naval courts have given in historical naval cases. The United, States, too, has gone into detail on the various subjects which she thinks should receive consideration while Germany has submitted a draft code of laws. The suggestions of the United States are: Warships of the United States of America can seek asylum during war is a neutral port subject to the limitations prescribed by the port authorities. Such ships must conform to the regulations of the port authorities regarding length of stay and interval to be observed before going to sea in pursuit of any enemy or after departure of the enemy's ship. Merchant ships, yachts or neutral vessels carrying or picking up belligerent wounded, slick or shipwrecked, should not be captured on account of such acts, but should still be subject to capture for any violations of neutrality they may have committee. Merchant ships under escort of warships of their own nationality should be exempt from the right of search on proper assurances being given by the commander of the convoy. Great Britain and Japan agree with the United States on the majority of points. HELD FOR LIBEL. W. R. Hearet's Publisher, Sued By John D. Rockefeller, Jr. New York City—A charge of criminal libel, made by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., resulted in the arrest of S. C. Carvalho, president of the Star Publishing company, publishers of Hearet's New York American. Mr. Calvalo was paroled until December 26, for examination. Mr. Rocketfeller's action resulted from an article appearing in the New York American of December 17, under a Chicago date line, headed, "J.D. Rocketfeller, Jr., Originated Peonage in Stockdale, It is Said." He held that this was libelous and calculated to injure his good name. PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS Matters of Importance Before th National Lawmakers. After passing a bill granting to the Southern Pacific Railroad Company a right of way across the Fort Mason military reservation in California, the house of representatives Saturday adjourned until Monday, January 4, 1909. A brief session of the senate Saturday was devoted to routine business. Several messages of minor legislation were received from the president, and bills and other measures were introduced. The senate then adjourned until January 4, 1909. Because of the general exodus of members for their homes for the Christmas holidays, the attendance in the house of representatives Friday was far short of a quorum. Nevertheless, a good deal of business was transacted. This consisted mostly of the passage of war claim bills, some of them giving rise to considerable discussion. The house of representatives Thursday by unanimous vote adopted a resolution requesting the president to supply it with any evidence that may be in his possession that will justify the statement in his last annual message in relation to the attitude of members of congress toward appropriations for the secret service of the government. RE-UNION SCOTTISH BITE MASONS To Be Held in Atlanta's New Temple Next Spring. Atlanta, Ga.—The dedication of Atlanta's new Masonic Temple, now about completed, will mark a general revival among that branch of the Masonic fraternity known as the Scottish Rite. Plans are under way for a spring reunion of the Scottish Rite to be held in Atlanta next April, which will bring to the city many of the distinguished and prominent citizens of the country, including Hon. James D. Richardson of Tennessee, the grand commander of the southern jurisdiction, and the full official divan of the supreme council, the chief 'governing body of the rite, whose headquarters are at Washington, D. C. During the reunion the degrees of the rite, fourth to thirty-second, inclusive, will be conferred with full ceremonials for the first time in Atlanta, on a dedicatory class of more than two hundred, representing every section of Georgia, and the handsome and perfectly appointed apartments of the rite on the upper floor of the Temple will be dedicated and formally opened. The apartments include the largest stage of modern construction yet erected in the southeast. Concrete, the material, more than one hundred pieces, necessary to properly exemplify the work, together with a mammoth lighting plant, to cost approximately 12,000, have been closed, and will be installed as quickly as the artists can complete the work thereon. It is safe to assume that nothing so ambitious as this reunion has ever been undertaken by Scottish Rite Masons of the southern jurisdiction, and the indications are that Masonic students from all America will gather at Atlanta to witness the ceremonies and enjoy the 'work. NEWSY PARAtiRAPHS. The record Christmas gift of the season was made when David T. Hanbury of San Francisco, Cal., turned over to his wife property valued at four million dollars. Although Mrs. Hanbury assumes legal possession of the vast holdings, she will not exercise absolute control until after death of her husband. President Kellogg of the Metropolitan Psychical Society, an organization which holds that all ghosts are piffle and less, has written a letter to Dr. Isaac Funk offering to pay Dr. Funk $5,000 'f he will produce a ghost—any kind of a ghost, so that it is not a frazzled thing of phosphorus and nun's velling, living in a medium's cabinet. Mrs. W. A. McGuire of Chicago who lost a bag containing money and valuable papers, advertised for the property in these words: "Finder may keep half-the money, or, if virtue is not its own reward, keep all the money, but please be human enough to return personal belongings that can be of no service to other than the owner. Do not adopt the creed finders are keepers." The British admiralty has decided that in future all small naval craft shall be constructed to use both coal and oil fuel. The oil-burning system has been used for a considerable time, and many of the destroyers and torpedo boats are designed exclusively for the oil-burning system. All the modern battleships and cruisers of the navy are also constructed to use either coal or oil. Dr. Birdson pleaded guilty in court at Jackson, Miss., to murdering Dr. Pitts and was sentenced to life imprisonment. The plea was the result of an agreement between counsel. Between one thousand eight hundred and two thousand union miners on Paint Creek, Kanawha county, West Virginia, quit work in obedience to the strike order by President-Ben Davis of District 17, United Mine workers. Governor-elect Lilly of Connecticut has named Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., of Thompsonville, Conn., as a major on his staff of military aides-de-camp. In making the appointment, Mr. Lilly says, he was influenced by his acquaintance with young Roosevelt and admiration for his many sterling qualities. Augusta, Ga. — William H. Taft, president-elect of the United States, announced the appointment of United States Senator Philander C. Knox of Pennsylvania as secretary of state in his cabinet. The announcement followed the receipt by Mr. Taft of a telegram conveying the information from Mr. Knox that he would accept the premiership of the Taft cabinet. Mr. Taft, without delay, made the announcement that the matter was settled. In giving the details of the negotiations, he said that the offer was made to Mr. Knox in New York; that since the offer he had not heard from Mr. Knox until the telegram he received upon this arrival here. "I feel that I am to be congratulated in securing the service of Senator Knox in my cabinet," said Judge Taft, in making the announcement, and making the statement with the understanding that he was to be quoted. "In selecting a secretary of state, I wanted first a great lawyer, and, second, a man who would fill the public eye, not only here, but abroad, as a man who stands out pre-eminently as a great American. "Mr. Knox was a great attorney general; he was a prominent candidate for the presidency, and is recognized in the senate and elsewhere as one of the great lawyers of that body." Judge Taft also feels that from a political viewpoint the selection of Mr. Knox is most happy. He explained that there was often a feeling that the state of Pennsylvania, with its assured republican majorities, often was slighted in the matter of recognition in the high councils of the party. Senator Knox's first appearance as a national figure was when he entered the cabinet of William McKinley as attorney general, in 1901, to succeed John W. Griggs of New Jersey. He was continued in the same office by President Roosevelt, and continued to serve until he resigned in 1904 to accept the appointment of United States senator from Pennsylvania. The arrival of the Taft family in Augusta, with the exception of Miss Holen, who is to reach here later, caused no small amount of joyous excitement and demonstration on the part of the residents of the city. The reception accorded the president-elect was ample in expressing the feeling of cordial southern hospitality. Judge Taft lost no time in getting out to the golf course, and pronounced it much to his liking, although he said he would have to get familiar with the sand, greens, which were a little difficult after his play on the grass. GINNERS ISSUE ESTIMATE Bales of Cotton Ginned Amount to 11,872,000 on Dec. 13.

C.—The report of General Superintendent Kimball, of the life saying service, shows the service now comprises two hundred and eighty stations. Disasters to documented vessels during the year were three hundred and eighty-six, with three thousand seven hundred and forty-nine persons aborad, of whom only sixteen were lost. The estimated value of the vessels was $9,775,725, cargoes $3,135,190, making the total value of the property endangered $12,911,915. Of this amount, $1,855,110 was lost. LATE NEWS NOTES. General. Ascending in an airship in order to be able to scatter money among the people with more quality is the experience of E. E. Oscar Hart, a mining man of Skiddoo, Caff. At an amusement park in Los Angeles, Cal. Hart ascended for twenty minutes in an airship while he threw handful of money to a crowd of two thousand people below. He is said to have disposed of a considerable sum. With two hundred and sixty sealskins taken nearer the south pole than any sealers have been before, the sealing, schooner Agnes G.

The purpose of the Pekin branch is to test the opportunities for American capital, especially in connection with the development of Manchuria. "Insanity grows three times as fast in proportion as the increase in population in the United States." Dr. David Paulson, president of the anticigarette league, made this statement in Chicago recently. "China," he continued, "used twenty-six grains of opium last year for every woman and child. The United States used fifty-six grains. There are at least one million opium users in this country." The people of Chicago are suffering from melancholia because they have too few amusements and too much severity in life. They ought to get all the wholesome fun possible out of life. This was the view expressed by the Rev. Johnston Myers, in an address to Baptist ministers of that city. The speaker made a plea for the theater, the dance and a more tolerant application of religion. The city council of Bessemer, Ala., has included an item in the annual license schedule of that city imposing a tax of $50 a year on bachelors over the age of thirty.

It is not feasible and desirable at the present time for the government to purchase, to install or to operate pneumatic tubes. This is one of the most important conclusions reached by a commission appointed by the postmaster general to inquire into the question of the feasibility and desirability of the government purchasing and operating pneumatic tubes in the cities where the service is now installed, which was transmitted to congress by Postmaster Genera Meyer, the conclusions of which he approves. Secretary Strauss has referred to a special committee in the department of commerce and labor the advisability of calling together important labor leaders, publicists and directors of big industries to consider several questions of importance throughout the country. He suggested that the meeting be held at the department of commerce and labor about January 2. An order has been signed by Postmaster General Meyer advancing two hundred fourth-class postoffices to the presidential class, effective January 1. Postmasters of the presidential class are allowed salary of $1,000 to $1,500 in place of the fourth-class stamp commission. The president has sent to the senate the following nominations: Member of the Isthmian canal commission, Lieutenant-Colonel Harry F. Hodges, corps of engineers. Captains to be rear admirals; William P. Potter, Newton E. Mason. Register of land office; Harry H. Myers, at Little Rock, Ark. In his report to General Marshall, the chief of engineers of the army, Captain G. R. Lukesh, who was sent to Pine Bluff, Ark., to ascertain whether additional funds are necessary for the work at that place on the Arkansas river, says the balance of the $19,000 fund available at the beginning of the present, emergency is insufficient for the protection work needed for the safety of Pine Bluff, against the high waters of the coming winter. Portraying Augustus Saint Gaudens as a great sculptor, whose works will stand in the very forefront among the masterpieces of the greatest periods and the greatest people, President Roosevelt at an exhibition of Gaudens' works at the Corcoran Gallerp of Art, under the auspices of the American Institute of Architects, paid eulogium to that artist's mastery of his craft. In announcing that the new issue of special delivery stamp would be placed on sale in Washington, the postoffice department called attention to its opposition to discontinuing its use of that stamp. This is despite the authorized practice of affixing the words "special delivery" written or printed on the envelope, in addition to the ordinary postage being in total Ten Thousand Dollars, and which are held by the State of Georgia, by authority and under the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly, approved October 22d, 1887, and amended December 20th, 1887.

When I first struck Walla Walla, back in the autumn of '86, he said, I found that town a whole heap more prosperous than I was. After I had there for a couple of weeks, with nothing doing, I began to reflect that if something didn't happen pretty soon I'd find In addition of confidential gloom I imparted my tale of woe to the landlord of my hotel, with whom I happened to be all square-yards, for the reason that I'd had the prescience and foresight to pay my board with my last kale two weeks in advance upon hitting the town. "Now you needn't be surprised a whole lot," I told the good, mature landlord, "If I stick your night lerker up one of these nights and take to the chapairal with whatever small change he happens to have in the till. I'm all in, and I don't see anybody in Walla Walla making feather beds from the moldings of the angels around here. How about a bell hop's billet, if you expect me to remain honest, or a berth as head bootblack of your dogged old tavern? "It was at this stage of it that that whole souled innkeeper of Walla Walla got busy in framing up a scheme in my behest and behalf." "Never, done no lecturni", have you, buddy? he. asked me. modern Greece, now there's your tip, hombrey, and you can work the rest of it out if you're self. You're welcome! use them slides if you want to, an I'll guarantee you'll draw a houseful with 'em, and that the boys 'll behave; they'll have to, 'cause they'll be ladies present. I'll see that everybody in Walla Walla, what's broke 't lectures 'll be on hand. I suppose, maybe there wasn't manna in that kindly suggestion. I thanked the landlord, and he had the bunch of slides brought up from the cellar and dusted off. He not only had the slides, but he had the recent lecturer's magic lantern and all the rest of the gear, all ready to be set up and put together for the lecture. I looked the slides over and found that they were a corking fine lot of views. I get a property man from the new Walla Walla op'ry hause who knew all about magic lanten gear to assemble the stuff and try it out against a screen in the hotel dining room after the supper, had been cleared away, and it all worked on followed skids. Then with the landlord backing me up I rented the op'ry hause for the following Saturday evening—it was then Tuesday—and inserted an on'tick' in the newspaper to the effect that Euripides Aristophanes Athenesius, the famous traveler, and professor of the University of Athens, would deliver his noted lecture on an'cient and modern, Greece at the opera house on the following Saturday evening, with the finest set of views illustrative of his subject that had ever been got together. The landlord, who was considerable of a citizen in Walla, Walla, got busy plugging for me, and when the tickets were put on sale at the drug store they went like hot waffles near, a city cab stand. The lantern was set up and the slides were thrown on the screen, in an animation rehearsal, and Saturday morning it occurred to me that it wouldn't be such a bad idea for me to think up something to say to go with the pictures. "I had never been any nearer to greetesthan Sandy Hook, but I wasn't bothered much by that consideration, and much, much, that the outfit you wear would loosen. Wand Warld folks would stick their fingers for the exact figures as to ancient and modern Greece. And if they mattered to Falco, they wielded the picture I gave them with all gillight and it wont through with a glitter. I spread it on pretty thick about the conquering ghosts of Alexander of Macedon and I let them have plenty of The Isles of Greece, the Isles of Greece, where burning Sappho loved and sung — in fact, I think I handed them that quotation no less, than nineteen times during the lecture, just to fill in the desert spaces. Sappho was always a great favorite of mine, anyhow. "I mentioned, too, 'quite a number of times' how the mountain looked on Marathon aid. Marathon looked on the sea, and I lugged in Aspasia and her friend Pericles, and did the ghost I knew to whitewash the little unconventionalities of those two. I devoted a few moments to Diogenes, as well as Socrates, and I kind, o' puzzled them and aroused their admiration by dwelling upon the Poetic School. So they didn't know what I was talking about, and when a lecturer gets an audience in a state of mind like that their enthusiasm for him increases with each tick of the chronometer. "After it was over I counted up the gate receipts and found that there was $430 left for me after paying expenses. I went back to the hotel in a feyer and fervor of exultation. A squalt well dressed, curly haired man, with a swarthy skin and a thick black mustache, was talking with the landlord when I strolled into the hotel office. The stranger turned and smiled a very agreeable smile when he saw me. "My friend," he said to me, holding out his hand, "I congratulate you. I listened to your lecture. It was" and as he was a foreigner he halted for a word—immense. When I return, to my own country I am going to give an illustrated lecture on Tibet. "Oh, you've been in Tibet, then? I said to him. "Oh, no, he repelled, still smiling that engaging smile. 'That's why I'm going to lecture on it.'" "That squat man was a sure enough green tourist and scholar who had just happened to drop into Walla Walla in time to hear me lecture about Greece. The memory of his saturnine grin is a nightmare to me yet."—Washington Star. CURE FOR SNAKE BITE. How Ranchman Treated a Wound When Far From a Settlement. Bitten by a rattlesnake in the caft of the right leg in the Santa Ana Mountains last Saturday, John McCornick, 'a rattler' of Grapeland, saved his life by making an incision with his pocket knife and inserting a piece of the reptile's flesh in the wound. He bandaged it tightly and walked seven hours before he reached his ranch, where he could receive medical treatment. Dr. Summer J. Quint was called from Los Angeles to attend McCornick. When he arrived he found that his patient was suffering from a slight poisoning. He de- claims that McCornick saved his life by his own treatment. McCornick was hunting through scrub oak when he felt a peculiar sting in his leg. He looked down and saw the snake dragging on the ground as he walked. Its fangs had become fastened in his leggings and it was unable to withdraw them. With the butt of his gun McCornick knocked the snake off and then crushed its head with his heel. As quickly as possible he ran into the open and carried the snake with him. When he bared his leg he squeezed all the blood he could out of the two punctures which the fangs had made. Then he opened a gash, cutting through' the two wounds and letting out the blood and poison. He cut a pleece of flesh out of the snake's back and inserted it in the wound. McCornefk used his handcipher for bandages and then tied his leg again just above the knee to stop the poison from working through his system. McCornick was miles from any settlement where he could secure medical attendance, he started back to Grapeland. His leg pulsed with pain and he soon became deathly sick. In his weakened condition he was compelled to rest on the road time and again. When he finally reached home he was almost exhausted and his leg was dreadfully swollen and almost black. McCornick says that his treatment was famous among the Indians for snake bites and he has known of a number of instances where its application has saved lives.—Los Angeles Times.

"I have always called him 'Pop' from the first day.

These may be simply needled and stewed, as you may would originally view tomatoes, then put into jars filled to overflowing and fastened airtight, or they may be canned whole, which takes much longer. In this case, select medium size solid tomatoes (cover with hot water and poet, Arrange in wide-mouthed jars, fill the jars with cold water, adjust the rubbers, lay on the tops and stand the jars in a wash boiler, protecting from the bottom and contact with each other by means of colls of rope or hay.

Flint Pudding Without Eggs. This delicious light pudding is made by stirring thoroughly together the following ingredients: One cuppure of the milk chopped beet, one cupful of the milk chopped beet, one cupful of molasses, one cupful of molasses, one of chopped raisins, one of well washed currants, one spoonful of salt, one teaspoonful each of cloves, cinnamon, allspice and carbonate of soda, one cupful of milk and flour enough to make a stiff batter. Put into a well greased pudding mold or a three-quart pit and cover closely. Set this pail into a large kettle, close covered and half full of boiling water, adding boiling water as it hits away. Steam not less than four hours. This pudding is sure to be a success, and is quite rich for one containing neither butter nor eggs. One-half of the above amount is more than eight persons will be able to eat, but it is equally good some days later steamed again for an hour, if kept closely covered meantime. Serve with sweet sauce—Boston Post. HINTS FOR THE HOUSEKEEPER Never place a salad in the refrigerator where meat is kept. A deep ruffle added to the lower edge of your kitchen apron is a great protection. When about to cut new bread or cake heat the knife hot, as this will prevent crumbling. A pinch of salt added to the whites of eggs will cause them to whip in half the time usually required. Milk and butter should be kept covered when in the ice chest, as they readily absorb the flavor and odor of other foods. If every pot, kettle, or pan, when emptied of food is filled, with hot water in the sink its washing later will be much easier. Gunny sacks cut the same way as carpet rags and woven with bright colored warp will make splendid rugs for the kitchen floor. Place a wet cloth under a cake pan before attempting to remove the hot cake; it it remain a short time and the cake easily drops out. Never cut more bread than is likely to be used at each meal, and no dry bread will accumulate in the bread box. A bread box should be scalded and aired once a week. To can horseradish grind it in a small meat grinder, then pack it in glass fruit jars and fill the cans with good, sharp cider vinegar. It will, keep as long as you want it. In cooking on a gas stove the gas is saved by using vessels with flat bottoms rather than those with round ones, as the latter defect the flame and much of the heat is lost. For doughnuts made with sour milk-or cream add a generous teaspoonful of vinegar to the batter before adding the full amount of flour, and you will like them better than without the vinegar. By the use of a soapstone griddle, which requires no greasing, batter cakes, luckwheat cakes, etc., may be baked without causing the odor and smoke to which many object in baking cakes on the ordinary iron griddle.

In case a place of the sling of a bee remains in the wound extract, is with the fingers, or a small pair, of tweezers. The best application for the inflammation is diluted ammonia water; after which a cloth covered with sweet oil should be placed on the barts. It was in front of a little shop in Wilhelm Platz in Koenigsberg, up north east, near Russia, that an American on his way down the crooked street from the old schloss recently noticed this same horse sign just below him—for the street is so steep that, what is below you one minute is above you, the next. Overcome at last by what he considered a morbid curiosity, though the word is unpleasant to "use in connection with what one eats," he ventured into the shop. He had seen the sign alf over Germany, and since so many people ate horse American tolerance suggested that perhaps horse, was good. The usual German woman with the familiar German generosity of outlining came out from her bedroom behind the shop and looked expectantly at him. Around the store, on the racks, hung haunches, hbs, legs and sides of dark red meat, while wooden dishes of finely chopped hamburger horse lay on the counters. "Will you kindly tell me how much horse is a pound?" asked the intruder, trying not to breathe, Unfortunately for his efforts to sympathize with horse dinners, the place smelt like a morgue: "Twenty plenius," she answered. A rapid passage at mental arithmetic brought, the amount to five cents American. And, say the horse weighs eight hundred pounds, he would bring less than $40, as a dish! Who could buy him for that to ride on in the park? "Reining on the German good nature and remembering that everyone about him seemed to have plenty of time, he explained that he was an American and wished he knew something about horse were eaten. Never Eaten a Horse! "I have never eaten one," he remarked with a deprecating smile. "How long since you are in Germany?" she asked stolldy. "Oh, about a year," he smiled. "Then perhaps often you have eaten one," she reassured him. As he looked at the, the blackening meat and smelt the perfume of the horse, he shuddered. How? he asked, quietly. "There are many sausages," she resumed. "If you have been only to good restaurants you have not got them. And if you keep house you must know when you buy hors meat, because outside the store always must be the sign about it. It is required." The horse is naturally not an 'un-annipetting' beast, and the shops in Berlin where 'you can' buy a pound of him' to take home' in a 'paper bag' are quite exquisite. And there are other aspects of this question of horse ment in Germany. That it is killed under government supervision and at the immaculate ahdarths outside the city limits, and that it is good fresh horse—all this is much to its advantage, as healthful, eating. In some of the stores, like the little one in Koenigsberg, perhaps they keep him too long; but that is 'not really his fault. It even happens with cows sometimes. And very truly, it should be as tasty a dish as any other of what Bernard Shaw calls "the dead animals which we serve at our civilized tables." in those regions to say he is hungry enough to eat a horse unless he means you would see some horse cooking she jump over her shoulder with her burring; patrot-toned voice. "Eating time is here already. You shall shut by the store and watch you shout the horse." 171. 121. Chestnut Tenderloin The work at the business, of cooking, no more attention to him, that if he were one of the accustomed thithermen who used to play about and hang for the coming meal. The clipboard of her heftless, wooden shoes, as she went from stove to cupboard and back, was almost the only sound. The mountain stillness from outside had long since come into the houses. 172. In the steep, rising ground, across a forested garden, at the back of the hut was dug a cave, secreted in its open face, by iron clamped wooden doors. A trip to this and a momentary disappearance into its cold shadows produced a flank of dark red meat. This weighty thing seemed no burden to the broad back she shuffled across the garden and through the low door. She cut off a strip of meat in shape like a pork tenderloin, only it was much larger, and this she sprinkled with the coarse German salt and put into the oven. "So!" she muttered at last, breaking the long silence. "It will soon be ready, and 'will taste the very same as beef. A nice thing to eat with it is schotten purée. You know what that is? Mashed up peas and herbs." The fumes of the roast were pleasant. A stranger coming upon the scene from that time, on would never have suspected, the presence of an unusual animal in the oven. And no doubt this is so. If there, a question raised as to what this meat is good for one? They say skin and cheeks flare a brighter barometer for the stomach. And if this is not yet an exploded theory, then horse must be a tonic. Never did skin and cheeks flare a brighter promise from within than they do among the poorest Germans. Maybe the thin, cool air has something to do with it. But horse does, not produce ill effects, certainly. And the police would positively not allow it if it did. It is very strictly against the rules in Germany for a person to permit himself to be injured in any way. A striking example of this is shown by the law which states that if you are run over by a vehicle, in the streets of a city you are fined six marks by the police. If any one unfamiliar with Germany and German ways should find in this thought of horse meat a discomfort which will make him afraid to travel in Germany, let him be encouraged not to worry. So unobtrusive is the meek horse—as meek in the pot as in the stall—that the traveler will very likely never so much as hear the question and will quite certainly never eat, any of the meat unnares.—New York Tribune. The Naughty Prince. An amusing story is being told in the Danish newspapers concerning little Princess Knud, son of the Crown Prince. Recently a dispute arose between his nurse and himself as to whether he should or should not take a bath. The argument culminated in 'a sponge being thrown in the nurse's face' and the royal mamma being sent for in hot haste. She decided that Knud was in the wrong and sent him himself to fetch the cane with which she must beat him. He departed, and after some time came back again. "I can't find the stick," he explained politely, "but here are two stones that you can throw at me." Mixed Metaphors. Sir Robert Putris, addressing his old constituents at Peterborough in defense of an act of Parliament under whose operation some of them had gone to prison for a week, said: "That, gentlemens, is the marrow of the education act, and it will, not be taken out by Dr. Clifford or anybody else. It is founded on a grandt foundation, and it speaks in a voice not to be drowned by sectarian clambr." In man address to the Katser Willhelm's father a, the nheinander mayor said: "No Austria, no. Prussia, one only Germany. Such were the words, the mouth of your imperial majesty has, always had in its eyes." Swiss Have Public Telescope!

Many American industries in of near-large cities would be amphipoled to hear it stated that the United States has the poorest roads of any, civilized country in the world. Nevertheless, the stationary is declared by all who have had opportunity to learn by experience, to be questionable, true, when the roads of the whole country are considered. Lately there has been much criticism of the automobile as being destructive of good roads. The damage is so great that in France the Government has been forced to take in the matter, and is even now studying, preventing plans. In the United States, however, it may be that the Automobile will prove a powerful influence in State roads. The American Automobilist Association has recently held a two day's good would; convention of Baltimore, at which provisional work made practical demonstration; to the best methods of road-building, and repairing, and for experiments looking toward the discovery of a blinding material for surfacing roads which will not be sucked out by the pneumatic tires. There are signs, too, says Youths' Companion, that the old policy of throwing under the town the burden of building the roads and keeping them in repair to be superblyided by the more sensible plans having the State do it. The towns will, of course, care for their own streets, but the main highway should be built and cared for by the State, as they are, in France, Germany and Switzerland. "All travelers deserve good roads, and they are a source of convenience and comfort to every one," said Mr. Robert E. Hillis of Pittsburgh who is at the Hotel Martinezieria. "Well built roads attract large populations as well. as good hospitals and churches. that they vastly improve the value of property can easily be appreciated. A good farm located five miles from a market and connected by a bad road is of less value than a farm equally as good. Ten miles from a market, but connected by well constructed road. Good roads encourage a greater exchange of products and commodities, for larger loads can be drawn over roads in good shape by one horse than by two over a poor road. The bicycle and the automobile are to be thanked for the marked improvement in the roads of the East. The West has much to learn in this respect. It was proven by the New York to Paris automobile race. "The construction of good roads is absolutely essential to trade, for they are the arteries of communication. Our great increase in population compels us to develop transportation facilities of all kinds to the highest degree."—New York Telegraph. Good Roads Proof of Intelligence. The Honorable John H. Bankhead, Senator of Alabama, ind'd powerful speech in the United States Senate upon the question of good roads, epitomized the whole question in a very few words. Hq said: "Good roads are the avenues of progress, the best proof of intelligence. They aid the social and religious advancement of the people; they increase the value of products, save time, labor and money; they add to the value, of farm property; they are the initial source of commerce which swell in great streams, and flow everywhere, distributing the products of our fields, forests and tabories. The highways are the common property of the country, their benefits are shared by all; they are needed by all; they benefit all and all should contribute to thank it. It would be difficult to make a stronger plea, for good roads. The above statement coming from, of man of high social and political standing will command the respect of every one. His golden words, will become a classic upon the subject." Farmers desiring to continue to receive mail by rural delivery deliver see to-it that the condition of their roads is maintained at a high standard, to enable carriers to deliver mailwrites ease and facility, according to an announcement of the Postmaster Department. On May 14 last the attention of the postmaster at Peru, India, was called to the bad condition of the roads on rural free delivery-roads of that office. Through efforts of the postmaster's work, was unseen one of the twelve roads leading out of Peru. At a local meeting it was decided to request the detail of an engineer from the Goblv Hills District of the Department of Agriculture to construct an object lesson yard and in pursuance of a Statutory contract were left to the mound of £85000 for the construction of gravel roads in the county.

A happy new year to everybody. MANY have been the crimes reported as being committed by white men during the week. They have been practicing all along on colored persons, now they are perfecting themselves on their own kind. We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation to a complimentary banquet to Hon. Joseph E. Lee, collector of Internal Revenue for the State of Florida, to be held at Jacksonville, Friday next. CONGRESSMAN BRANTLY in his address in this city a few days ago called attention to the prevalence of lawlessness in the state, and the remedy thereof. If a healthy public sentiment does not prevail pretty soon the lawless element will gain the ascendency, and the result can be easily ascertained. THAT was a stinging rebuke given the members of the jury that acquitted the men accused of night riding near Albany, and unmercifully beating an aged colored man, his wife and other members of the family. The evidence against those white men must have been convincing and their action brutal to have called forth such a stinging rebuke from the judge. NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS. Reported by the National Negro Business League. The Florida Sentinel is authority for the information that a syndicate of colored men has recently organized the Pensacola Loan and Trust Company with a capital stock of $10,000. The Nickle Savings Bank, located at Richmond, Virginia, made a statement of its financial condition at the close of business November 27, 1908, to the state Corporation Commission, showing its total resources to be $29,954.55. R. F. Tancil is the president. W. J. Blanton, a jeweler, is connected with one of the finest and best jewelry firms (white) in the South Messrs D. Lowenhelm and Co., 400 Union street, Nashville, Tenn, are the proprietors. Mr. Blanton has been with them a number of years and does business not only for them but himself also. He is regarded as being proficient in his vocation. The St. Lukes Savings Bank of Richmond, Va., incorporated, rendered at the close of it business year November 27, 1908 a statement of their financial condition to the state Corporation Commission.

The meeting was largely attended by the business men and farmers of the surrounding country. There was quite an interesting program. The principal speakers were Mr. Harry T. Pratt, of the Baltimore Negro Business League and Mr. Hezekiah Brown, one of the county school teachers. A very important meeting was held at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church Baltimore, Md., Wednesday, December 9th, for the purpose of creating a better understanding between the ministry and business men of the city. There was a large attendance of the ministers of the important churches of all denominations, as well as a large number of members of the local Negro Business League. Papers were read representing the views of the ministry by the Rev. D. W. Hayes, D. D., and Mr. Harry T. Pratt, president of the Negro Business Lesgue, representing the views of the business men. The outcome of this meeting cannot help be productive of greater harmony and reciprocity of helpfulness between the clergy and business men. At other places where the Negro Business League is a actor, of more or less prominence, such meetings might be held to the advantage of both ministry and "captains of industry." Emancipation Day. Arrangements have been made for the observance of Emancipation day. The societies will meet at Gwinnett and West Broad Sts. at 9:30 a. m. The marshals will be Messrs Quarterman, Barnes, Sales and Robinson. The exercises will take place at First Bryan Baptist Church. Prof. Thompson has been selected to deliver the address.

Preachment II Is it, then nothing worth that thou doesn't know. Unless what thou doest know, thou others show thou—Montague. Others show: Montague. It comes down the years with accumulating emphasis that talent to be kept must be used; must be developed; must be put into service. The converse of the foregoing as equally true. From deeper down the years comes the same truth from the parable of the talents. Nearly everybody who has read the parable sees the untenable position in which the man of one talent finds himself when his lord returns. A study of anatomy, I believe, reveal the fact that the rudimentary organs show that at some time or other, in the process of evolution certain organs lost their function because they were not used. Cases in point are the ground mole and the fish in the Mammouth Cave, that do not see. What use can a mole have for eyes if he continues to burrow in the ground? Why should fish see, if they unfortunately must live where there is no light? There is a line in the human ear indentically with a line in the ear of other animals, like the mule, the horse and the rabbit. This line is an atrophied muscle. Mankind in his ascent failed to use this muscle to "flap" his ears about, and it became rudimentary. Further, it seems an undisputed fact, that human beings separated a long time from other human beings lose the power of intelligible speech. Instances might be multiplied showing the same general truth "what one saves he loses, and what he gives away he saves." Is there any doubt of it? Is it of common knowledge that exercise strengthens muscles? Even the little boys playing marbles for winners must get his hand in, and how many men can throw a stone with anything like that precision with which they used to throw? Can you sing as well as you once did? Can you read Greek and Latin as you once did? Montague said nothing new. It is a fact beyond controversy, that we are talented, we are cultivated, we are educated, we are intelligent, we possess common sense as we show it, not as we tell it. For forty years, which is only a very short space in the life time of a race, the schools and colleges have been sending cut graduates who have done varying degrees of good work, and still it is a fair question to ask have they done all of the work they should have done! Some persons with whom I have talked think they have done and are now doing all they should have done or should do. Others think to the contrary. Think through these contrasts and answer for yourself. There are in Georgia as good schools for the face as are to be found in any other southern state. These schools have graduated hundreds of men and women of varying abilities, who have done work according to their abilities. In our own city are nearly fifty graduates from normal schools and colleges. There are at least three churches which boast of their intelligence and "quality" membership. There is one semi-literary club of a composite or conglomerate membership doing some good but in an indefinite fashion. There is plenty of usable material in this city. Lastly there are enough persons capable of appreciating culture work to organize a dozen reading circles which shall do serious work. I mention this advisedly. Now, let us see the other side. There are in Georgia 800,000 Negroes of more or less intelligence, many of whom have been influenced by the educated who have come from the schools and colleges but the big majority have not been reached. In our city, the fifty graduates or more, are members for the most part of these three "high toned churches" and more than a score of churches can not even boast one well educated person, and the gloomiest side of the picture is that there are several thousands of persons who cannot boast a church; who never hear a sermon; who never come in touch with an educated or cultured colored person. These thousands of the unremembered half of the Negro race constitute others and the other man's problem too. These people need to be investigated according to some well laid plan. Of the many—who can, who does or will offer up himself in the interest of these benighted people between us and Africa and any where else? Lastly; nobody seems to care whether there is a real literary society in Savannah or not. Who wishes to assert that the Elizabethan age has no lesson to teach Negroes? If Shakespear is encyclopedic in scope, why should not Negroes study it? Does the history of the middle ages teach anybody anything? Is there anything in the ancient lore surrounding the civilization of Egypt of benefit to the race? How do you know there is? How do you know there isn't? Then here again what hurts it if gifted musicians find wonderful material in the songs our mothers and fathers sang in the purple of many a morning in the days before '61? What matters it if other people's soul respond to the pathos and hope and faith portrayed in those melodies our parents used to sing to the Omniscient God of everybody? These old songs, even if they are gradually slipping away and out of our racial life, represent the only real American music and ours. What shall we do with ourselves and ours? Shall we use our talents and thereby strengthen them? Shall we use our talents to give a touch of new life to the unremembered part of our people? Or, is it a business of Negroes to try to lift Negroes? Of what Negroes is it a duty? Who knows where his blessing is? It may be in the church overfilled with intelligence; it may be in the friends we meet and converse with, and do favors for every day, but may our blessings be also in some humble hut, or some humble soul or in some one going wrong because nobody directs him aright? These things I have talked about seem to me facts. A light under a bushel is hardly a light. Jim Crow Doctors: In addition to an article that appeared in THE TRIBUNE of last week, I received a letter from the dignitary who signed his name "Lincoln Washington." It may be of interest to the public to note, not only his style, but also his ancient and obsolete method of reasoning. I would here state that I am not so ignorant of the prevailing condition of the Negro as to be lead away by the fancy idea that Mr. "Lincoln Washington" is an ignorant, "ante bellium" Negro, not trained and unsophisticated. Nor am I forgetful of the fact that it takes an intelligent man to "take off" the ignorant Negro so uniquely. Yet I am at a loss, in that this functionary has so completely covered up his identity after having vented his spleen, that even with the assistance of his personal letter I am unable to place him. But let me give you his letter before proceeding to skin him. Here it is, as in the original: Savannah, Ga., 12-17; 1903 Mister Regnil: I is a citizen or dis kinnimurty an' hain bin fer de las' fifty year. I aint nurver tuck no stock' in nuttin' tall but meckjn' er mer bred an' butter bi de sweet er mber浪.

Now if this fellow thinks that we have not sized him up, I would say to him that he is not as intelligent as his disguise is perfect. I shall not, therefore, deal with him as I would an "anta bellium" on "to de war" Negro, but I shall handle him just as I would one of the doctors whom he has seen to malign. I have stated to the public that we have no "jim crow" doctors, and without fear of effective contradiction I reiterate the declaration. Our medicos are an efficient, conscientious and patriotic set of men, educated up to the idea of race patronage because they know that the Negro is as capable of compounding their prescriptions as the white man. They teach race patronage both by precept and example, and I know this because I have been, for years intimately associated with them. Mr. Washington, in his letter of last week, must have had in mind, that specie of practician known in common parlance as "Hoo doo" doctors and not that dignified class of gentlemen, the prominence of whose shingles show that they are licensed practicainers, competent and careful. Mr. Washington is not only an unsophistocated rhetorician, lost in the labyrinth of his own expressions, but he is also the consummation of assininity, the quintessence of audacity and a dangerous character, damaging alike, himself and all men against whom he may rub his oily carcass. Denunciation of him fails of effect and any laborious effort spent in a word war with him is labor lost. If I should train upon him the sarcasm of Cataline it would fall upon him like water upon the skin of a mink, leaving no trace of effect. So I will leave him in the hands of those whom he charges of "jim crowing" and in the mean while I shall await with patience the receipt of his letter giving the names of the doctors whom he knows, as he says, to be "jim-crowing." I take great pleasure in holding up the doctors in our city as an example to the world. They show by their daily conduct the most beautiful picture of race love and race patronage that any set of men could show. And I take the liberty to invite the members of the craft in Atlanta to come down, if it be true that they Jim Crow, and catch inspiration from the splendid set of medicos of whom our great city is proud to speak in unrelenting praise, "Lincoln Washington's" declaration to the contrary notwithstanding. F. B. B. Church Dots. F. B. B. Church Dots. Netwithstanding the inclementity of the weather, the church was packed on Sunday night, the distinguished guest was the U. L. Houston Benevolent Society. Rev. Wright read from 1 Peter 3:1—3 for the lesson. His text was from Job 40—41 the subject was "Job humbled, himself before God." He drew a beautiful picture of humiliation, patience and long suffering. Job was once a very rich man had become quite poor and covered with large sores and was desplied and rejected not only by his friends but even his wife who advised him to curse God and die. Job was satisfied to wait until Jesus came. It was quite evident that this eloquent sermon sank deep into the hearts of Christians and sinners. At the close of the sermon, the severely ill "Unus a child is born." Rev. Wright led the beautiful hymn, "And must this body die" Strong men and, women came to the mercy chair and bowed while Rev. Wright took their cases to Jesus who is able to do all things. Rey Wright's advice as how we should spend Christmas was very timely and if followed no one will get in trouble. The society contributed liberally to the pastor, clerch, choir and sexton. Those who made the presentation speeches acted well their part. All of our services are just what you need, so come, Come down Sunday afternoon and take the fast communion of the year with us. Dont forget our watch-night services.

Some Valuable Especially For New England----Thorough Investigation by Expert in the Bureau of Plant Industry Dairy Outlook Not So Satisfactory as Heretofore----Difficulties Due to High Price of Feed and Labor----Grass Lands Mismanaged----Reports From Farms----Crops Depend on Different Variations of One Rotation----New Kinds of Silage Corn Suggested As a result of three years' study of the most successful dairy farms in New England, L. G. Dodge, scientist consultant, in the farm management investigations of the Bureau of Plant Industry, has been able to report in the bureau a series of criticisms and suggestions which farmers may find of practical use. This information is timely, for although dairying has been a profitable business in New England, conditions have changed in recent years, and the cut looks is said to be not satisfactory as it has been in the past. Song of the present difficulties are due to the high prices of concentrated feeds and of labor. Some sections of New England, furthermore, says Mr. Dodge feel the pressure of unsatisfactory market conditions, especially those sections which ship milk, to the large cities, where the farmers are offered a price for their milk on which they can hardly make a profit. According to Mr. Dodge the fact that grass is so much at home in New England States has led to a serious fault in New England dairy farms, namely, the mismanagement of grass lands. This consists chiefly of a lack of proper treatment for permanent grass lands and of suitable rotation for other lands, as well as for the use of grass growing on land which does not give profitable returns from grass and should be devoted to tree growth, either as woodland or orchards. Another fruit quoted is that of cutting the hay crop too late in the season, Mr. Dodge also notes the failure of the crop to grow in the available for that section, especially corn. In southern New England he finds little difficulty in growing good silage corn, but as one travels northward there is evidence of a lack of suitable varieties of corn for this purpose. In all but the most northern counties in New England, Mr. Dodge believes, varieties of silage corn can be grown. What is most needed, he says, is to give sufficient attention to the selection of suitable seeds. Hon. C. L. Jones, of Penobscot County, Me., raises all the roughage and some of the grain for forty head of cattle, four horses and twenty sheep on forty acres of tillage, and spares from this area three or four acres for potatoes every year. About twelve acres of flint corn are grown each year for silage, nearly as much small-grain, a mixture of oats and barley, and the remainder of the forty acres, aside from the potatoes, is devoted to hay. The rotation comprises one year of corn, one of small-grain acres of clover hay, and part of the land is run for mixed hay a second year. The land is seldom left in hay for more than two years before it is again plowed up for corn, making either a three year or a four year rotation. The manure is mostly applied in the late summer and fall with a manure spreader, both as a top dressing to the new seeding or other grass land, and to the land to be used for the next year. It is applied at a rate of ten loads per acre for her purpose. The seeding is done with the grain in the spring. Mammoth clover is seeded at the rate of twelve to fourteen pounds to the acre, with two or three pounds of sedget and four quarts of timothy. The result of the short rotation, the frequent manuring, and the heavy seeding is a crop of three tons of hay to the acre at one cutting. Other crops yield in proportion, so that this farm furnishes feed for so large a number of stock that it seems unreasonable, to the average dairyman. Another farm described is that of Professor J. W. Sanborn in Newhamshire, consisting of some 400 acres of filled land suited to frequent plowing and rapid rotation, besides the acres of permanent meadow and another 175 acres of permanent pasture. The 400 acres of easily, plowed land are nut in a rotation, as follows: Corn one year; peas and oats for hay; one year; clover for hay, two cuttings; one year; potatoes to sell, one year; corn for hay, two cuttings; one year; timothy for hay, to sell, two years; and then one-year for pasture. The hay from the whole of the cleared land in 1894 when Professor Sanborn took the farm, amputated to the tons, and in 1905 the yield was 800 tons, this increase being accomplished by improved sowing by the land and frequent applications of manure, which serves to illustrate on a large scale what has been shown already in other places in New England, namely, that 'land' which can be plowed conveniently, and is, therefore adaptable to rapid rotation can by this kind of management generally be made to produce the roping feed necessary to keep a cow for each acre, as easily as the supplement with pressure for part of the summer feed on the cow. the fundamental printable on quh, Professor, Sanborn, in working the way, is ability as a muskrat run, will not butter-produce which counts as it is the unit per cow, and he in-develop- the land sufficiently, to build a dry farm and a small increase course, it deforms, necessary to out the potatoes and hay to self and to devote all of the tilled land to the support of the herd. In the vicinity of Boston, green hay September 10 is ordinarily be kept for June May 15 and lays until June June 5. Winter wheat and velvet sown September 20 is fit to feed from June 5 to July 1, and any left over makes good hay. Oats and beans sown first April 15 will be desired feed by July 1, and successive seedings, even up to July 1 on low land, will furnish green feed until September 16. It latter seedings must be omitted for lays of suitable land, green hays planted May 15 will fill the gap until the frost comes. Barley sown from June 20 to August 15 in successive 16th and 17th hays feed for September and October. Under any other circumstances than those described it does not seem economical to follow this system, for summer feeding or slage systems the fairly labor of sowing and hauling a green crop on any farm where there is land enough to use for growing good clover hay in a rotation with silage corn. The methods which are to be generally recommended to dalmatians in New England for the producing of feed apply equally to much of the country, and to the eastern portion of it. They are briefly as follows: In the first place, all land which can be used at all in such a manner should be kept in short folding not more than three or four or at the most, five years long. This should bring the time which any piece of land is used for hay before replowing down to two or three years at the most. This short rotation gives more clover in the hay, since clover is short lived, only good for two years from the time of seeding at best. The clover not only improves the quality of the hay, but when hay is grown for three years, increases the yield of the hay crop for a year after the clover is gone off cut for hay only two years, the clover materially aids the yield of corn or other crop which immediately follows it. If, as is often the case, a good catch of clover is not easily obtained, the land should be limed. For too much acidity in the soil seems to be the greatest drawback to clover culture in New England. Land plaster, wood ashes, or fertilizers containing much potash contribute to the same end. The only precaution to be observed is in the case of a farm where potatoes are an important crop, for then one must be cautious about liming; potato scab may thereby be increased. In that case a fertilizer high in potash, such as is used for potatoes, does much to improve the clover crop. The chief difficulty in growing silage corn in northern New England is in getting a suitable variety, and farmers are strongly urged to take advantage of such new varieties of silage corn as may be offered for trial by the agricultural experiment stations of their respective States or by the United States Department of Agriculture, and also to select their own seed in order to improve it. In the most northern sections, such as northern Maine, where corn is out of the question and potatoes fill the place of corn in a rotation, silage can still be made from Japanese, millet or other crops and bucculent 'winter feed thus provided' Clover and sorghum are successors for silage in the State of Washington. This combination is worthy of trial in northern Maine. It should be noted that all, or nearly all, of the cropping systems that have been mentioned here are dependent on different variations of one rotation. Several different rotations may compose the system on any farm, and one rotation may follow another on the same field, or different fields may be used continuously in different rotations. The rotations, however, are based on the one so common in many localities—that is, corn, small-grain, grass. Corn may be replaced by potatoes, and that is very profitably done in the potato districts or in the most northern counties of New England, where corn falls. The small grain may be left out and the grass (and clover) sequestered in the corn, or corn may be grown two years, instead of one. The number of years of hay, growing may vary from one to five, and the small grains may be used as grain or go to supplement or enrich the supply of hay. Even the rotations for a soiling system are usually based on the same foundation, the crops for soiling cooling after corn, two of them frequently being grown in one year, and then the land put back to corn again. The essentials of the New England dairyman, in growing feed for his cows appear, to be the use of short rotation wherever possible; all the clover hay and corn silage that can be grown; liming the land for clover; if need be; better management, especially in the use of manure, of land, which is not fit for short rotations; and the utilizing of the various other crops that have been mentioned in the previous chapter, in quantity and quality of the corn; and crop.

This invitation has been accepted by every kind and condition of men and women throughout the whole of the human race; and every need of need has responded to this invitation. The men and women who have accepted have found the rest for their souls which Christ promised. But I am not going to preach to night upon this text. Millions of gracious sermons have been preached upon it and millions of souls have been won purpose only by promised. I have one purpose only by promised. I have one purpose only by promised at the outset, and that is that you may use them, not as a text to expound but as a motto of that which is to follow, for I purpose to speak about a conspicuous' figure in the world. of letters who has accepted this invitation of Christianity and found rest for his doubting, wondering, in pursuit of his turbulent spirit; and he has written us how he found his way to Christianity and to the rest that Christianity offers. The man is Mr. Chesterton. His books are freely on sale in this country and he occupies a very conspicuous place in English literary life. The book is called "Orthodoxy." It is a story—autographical—of the way he brings himself to the acclimatization he style is all his own. He is the master of paradox among living meets the wide world over. His purpose is to take any statement about any mortal thing and show that universally the contrary is true. If, for instance, I say that the doctrine of original sin is glorious and depressing his method of sin is universally the one of original sin is universally the one of ingoring and most invigorating and exhilarating that the mind of man can conceive. That is the man's way, and he has attained to enormous influence and his books to enormous sale by working this paradoxical method. It does not follow because I call your book the book that I am commending to you, its unremarkable value of the book is that it stimulates thought. It sets you thinking about the deepest and highest things, and many things deeply suggestive and helpful to spiritual life. In one sense it is a corrective of that very curious ingrathered temper of our day which an entirely new and original good going to supersede all other gospels that have ever been preached and bring in the millennium by special express with all expenses paid within the next fortnight. We have seen too much of that sort of thing and it is a corrective of this curious flight, launching with hanners flying and hanners flying, a gospel of tomorrow, which proves to be merely a second-hand copy of a sleepy edition of the gospel of yesterday afternoon. Mr. Chesterton likens himself to an English yachtman, who in the English Channel loses his bearings and in his imagination thinks he is in the Southern Pacific and on approaching the land believes it is some uninhabitable jungle island. He goes ashore prepared to build a farm and animals, and discoveres that he has his own people in the familiar streets of Dover or Brighton. Mr. Chesterton sets out to discover a new ethic, a new philosophy of life, a new morality, and he discovered Christianity, I have not been in this country twenty months yet, but I am quite certain that there have been twenty new gospel churches, an astonished public during that time. I am sure one that was to take possession of the church to win the world to Christ inside of the next twelve months. The publisher sent me a copy of the book for my opinion, and I wrote him that I did not care two straws about that sort of thing, but before the ink filled, signature was dry a friend asked him how Dr. So and So's school was getting on. "Oh," he said, "he is about through with it." I said, "Why, I have only just got his book from the publisher," "That does not make a difference," said my friend. "But, "I said, "how can he have got through with it already?" He looked at me with pity for my lack of ignorance and non-appreciation of the american mind and said, "Have you here long enough to know how easily we take a thing up and how much more easily we drop it again?" The fact is, that what is new in these new schemes, is not true, and what is true in them is not new. I am very glad and much as chesterton, with his penchant for calling attention to the utter folly of being led by this or by that, because it pretends to be new. You may say we are in a progressive age; but it is because we are progressive that we must preserve our self-respect and not be carried away by this and that wind of doctrine." Looking back numerable theories and philosophies that have tried to take possession of men and the church; but they have gone and the old faith; the old religion and the old belief in Jesus and the Cross remain transcendent, more certain and lovable than anything else. All the light 'n sacred story, NGathers in round 'n held smiles, NGathers in round tells us 'n the way which he found 'n may be bellow, and found, poet, and the prose poet, the emperator bestowed his holy honorizes his holy had objection and Christianity canceled another out. Tasa one objection, for Christianity and it is completely answered by another object. He found another, more sympathetic object. He agnostic manual to Christianity on the ground had a belief of religion of gloom, and another because Christianity had cast a rose pink, vell over all human life with a silly, bady sentimentalalma about this being the best of another object that it had found another object that it had weed and that Christianity took all the strutty, full the manhood but of us, and another that Christianity had deluged the nations, with blood, is Christianity, he asks, a religion of meekness and mildness of or murder and massacre it may be one or two, it cannot, it cannot both at the same time. Sacredness, of Small Things. 13 We should realize the sacredness of small things which we ignore or despise—the deed that upplits, although it is unheralded, the word that inspires, although uttered, so heartily that it should elicit, do not hear it; the hand which gives you your brother firmly on this reef with outpuff applause, Hence the small things, dare not be despised, by those of us who wish to rise to higher things. We thank God for correlations privileges. We all have equal rights under the Stars and Stripes. The Protestant and Catholic, the Jew and Gentile—the Mohammedian may build his mosque, the Buddhist his temple. We have no State church, no coercive laws. We are responsible to no laws. We are religious to religious convictions, responsible only to the Church that makes the best men and women is the best church. Rendering Tribute to God. There are three ways of rendering tribute to Christ—with the mind, the heart and the will. I do not appeal to your minda. No man, of sense dies the Christ that day as dies the Christ that day as and work on your minda. You need easy enough to make your minda. Cry and get into a state of, egesty so often mistaken for real suffender to Christ. Lappeared your will. For it is with well alone that you must answer that question. What thirst you? Christ! I am swollen! The Purpose of God! That purpose of God through this revelation for me, is not knowledge alone. Men devote their lives to get- ing knowledge of Christ's His purpose, and physical life of Christ. and luxury of God comforthwith His word, to give, eternal life, and paten from the power of sin. O GRAVEN CHANCES is likely therein no such things, including the world. It is an error of thought a misapprehension of the nature of things, to imagine that they are any sense under the dominion of chance.
