The Savannah Tribune. VOL. XXIV. UNCLE SAM'S PAY ROLL Expenses Next Year WillSmash All.Former Records. SENATE REQURIES $750,000 House of 'Representatives $3,000,000 and the Presidential Household' Annually Costs $125,000. Washington, D. C. — When Unce Sam cast up his accounts preparatory to stock-taking after the holidays and began business for the year 1900 he found that he had a most expensive establishment in the three branches of his government—executive, legislative and judicial. Some idea of what the people will be called upon to expend during the year may be had from the bill making appropriation for the three branches of the government that have just been named. For the compensation of the senators of the United States there will be required for the next year $690,000, and for mileage they will also receive an additional $47,000, not including any of its various officers on any way. Capitol police will cost the people $77,950, while they are preserving the lives of senators and representatives. To pay the members of the house of representatives for their services there must be expended a total of $2,950,000, and for mileage they will receive an additional $154,000. Just now the president is receiving $50,000 a year for his services, and his official family is an expensive one to maintain, and is made up as follows: One secretary, $6,000; two assistant secretaries $3,000 each; two executive clerks, one at $4,000 and one at 4,500; sixteen clerks and doorkeepers, at $30,000; nine messengers, a chief steward, to look after the gastronomical wants of the president's family, watchmen, laborers, etc., costing approximately $10,000. In addition to this the president's stable comes in for an extra appropriation if needed, as well as the executive library, and for these purposes an additional $25,000 that the nation's lawmakers have provided sometimes come in handy. After the wants of the legislative branch of our big government machinery are provided for and the executive taken care of, it must not be forgotten that there is still another and very important division—the United States supreme court. In order that the chief justice and his eight associates, who are called upon to decide the big legal questions of the day may be properly considered in a financial way the lawmakers put them down at $13,000 and $12,500 a year, respectively. Then there are 29 circuit courts, the judges of which receive $7,000 each-84 district courts with a salary of $6,000 for each of the judges; the district court for Hawaii, $5,000. These are just a few of the biggest items in Uncle Sam's -expense account from year to year, which may be said to be fixed charges, inasmuch as no account is taken of the various appropriations that may be made by congress from time to time -for instance as a $50,000,000 river and harbor bill, or an $50,000,000 public building bill or similar measures. In addition to this there are all the big cabinet places, the head of which receive $12,000 a year for their services, their assistants $5,000, and so on down the line. With an ever-increasing population demanding extensions of the government service in every quarter there is apparently little opportunity for the watch-dogs of the federal treasury to do much economizing any time in the near future. $10,000 BEEFSTEAK DINNER. One Hundred Guests of Kessler Eat In a Fairy Refrigerator. New York City—In the icicle-lined for the occasion rathskeller of the Hatel Metropole one hundred guests of George A. Kessler sat down to a $10,000 beefstank dinner. The whole place he opened transformed into what looked like a wholesale butcher's refrigerating plant, with imitation ammonia pipes, a frosted ceiling, paperman steaks, painted tin cutlets—and all so natural that "Big Tim" Gullivan's teeth chattered as he shook hands with De Wolfe Hopper and "Diamond Jim" Brady. The favors were $50 silver mugs. The guests, who sat on wooden benches, ate off tables which were lamination cakes of ice. The beefsteaks were seven weeks old, "rare" and steaming hot. Haying discarded their furs and locked their jewels in the safe, the diners put on aprons, the men wearing ones just like ordinary retail butchers, and the women putting on combination long aprons and straw hats that gave them the appearance of rural milkmaids. The drink was every bit grape juice. FIFTY-THREE MEN DIE IN FIRE. Trapped by Blames Men Jump into Ice Water. Chicago, Ill. — Fifty-three men burned to death or drowned when fire destroyed the "intermediate water crib" in the most terrible lake disaster of recent years. In a few brief minutes before the entire wooden superstructure was ablaze, seventy-eight men had to determine between positive death by fire or a probable death in the ice-covered waters. Many of the men resisted the flames until the last minute, dropped into the water, clung to the edge of the pier until their fingers nearly burned off, then dropped to death. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH. GA. SATURDAY. JANUARY 23. 1909. LEE'S MEMORY HONORED. Appropriate Exercises Held Throughout the Southern States. Atlanta, Ga. — The Atlanta chapters of the Daughters of the Confederacy and Atlanta Camp No. 159, United Confederate Veterans, held their annual celebration of the birthday of Robert E. Lee in the hall of the house of representatives at the state capitol. Judge Beverly D. Evans of the state supreme court was the principal speaker of the occasion, and Judge George Hillyer, who introduced Judge Evans, presided. Raleigh, N. C. — The birthday of General Robert E. Lee was celebrated at the state university with an address by Dr. Woodrow Wilson, president of Princeton university, Governor W. W. Kitchin, his official family and the members of the general assembly of North Carolina attended the lecture in a body, having accepted an invitation of President Venable of the university. Savannah, Ga.-Savannah celebrated Lee's birthday with a monster military parade, in which eighteen military commands, including infantry, cavalry, light and heavy artillery, naval battalion cadets and mounted police participated. New Orleans, La.-The one hundred and second anniversary of the birth of General Robert E. Lee was celebrated with appropriate ceremonies throughout the south. A feature that marks the commemoration in practically every town and city of the south is the distribution of crosses of honor to confederate veterans by the Daughters of the Confederacy. Appropriate exercises were held in this city. Washington, D. C.-In a letter to the Robert E. Lee Memorial association, President Roosevelt urges a permanent memorial to honor the confederate general. He pays high tribute to General Lee. Mobile, Ala.-The birthday anniversary of General Robert E. Lee was observed here by the confederate societies. All schools and banks were closed. The United Daughters of the Confederacy with Raphael Semmes camp and Jones M. Witthers' camp of veterans held a celebration on a large scale. Montgomery, Ala.-In this, the first capital of the confederacy, the birthday anniversary of General Robert E. Lee was observed quietly. Schools had a special Lee day program and the capital showed evidences of love and esteem felt for him. The star that marks the place where Jefferson Davis stood to take the oath of office was covered with a wreath of confederate colors. DONATE BODIES TO SCIENCE. Fraternity Has as Object Dissection of Members' Bodies After Death. Chicago, Ill.—The formation recently—among Bohemian residents of this city of a cremation society has led indirectly to the revelation of a medical sect of thirty-one years' standing. A score of prominent physicians and surgeons have admitted they are members of the Ustion fraternity, a society having for its object the dissection of the bodies of its members after death and cremation of the remains. This wierd fraternity is of national scope. Secret chapters exist in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Cleveland, Detroit and other cities in the east. Each chapter is known as a vertebrae. The Chicago chapter being the first organized is called the "prima vertebrae." Its high officer is known as the "Encephalon," the Greek word for head. Its next highest officer is the "Medulla." Its other officers are named after other parts of the human body. The members of the fraternity must undergo a preparation or apprenticeship of four years before they are admitted to full knowledge of its weird ritual. NEW YORK'S HUGE MAIL. Commission to Consider Congestion in Gotham Office. New York City.—Postmaster General Meyer's visit to this city was productive of the appointment of a commission to consider the congestion in the New York postoffice and to devise means for relieving it, and of a statement from the postmaster general of his purpose to make this city's facilities for handling mail unsurpassed in the world. It was shown Mr. Meyer that the mail matter handed at the New York potsoffice for a given six months weighed 101,351,766 pounds, of which 5,335,648 was local business. The New York office, single-handed, took care of nearly as much mail as Alabama, Arizona, California, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Indian Territory, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippl, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South-Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia put together. Allens Going Home. Washington, D. C.-For the year ended October 31, last, the number of allens arriving in this country was 655,263, while the departing allens that same period numbered 701,839, a net loss to the country of 46,576, according to a statement made by secretary Strus of the Department of Commerce and Labor. Another Treaty Signed. Washington, D. C.-With the signing of an arbitration treaty between the United States and Austria-Hungary at the State department, conventions of that character with more than twenty nations of the world have been agreed to. SECURED BY FRAUD Washington, D. C.—Information of a startling character, of alleged wholesale and astounding frauds upon the public lands, has come into the possession of Secretary of the Interior Garfield, through special agents in the field. The serious allegation is made that approximately $110,000,000 worth of lands, in states principally west of the Mississippi river, have been fraudulently acquired within the past two years by corporations and individuals. With a view of recovering these lands, Secretary Garfield sent letters to Chairmen Hale and Tawney' of the senate and house appropriations committee, respectively, asking for an additional appropriation of $500,000, which, if granted, with that already asked for, will give the department $1,000,000 for that purpose. It is stated that there is reasonable prospect of recovering much of this alleged fraudulently acquired land, if the appropriation is promptly made. It is also pointed out that, while a million dollars may seem large, it is not one per cent of the commercial value of the land which the government may hope, to recover. Secretary Gatfield also submits a statement of H. H. Schwartz, chief of the field service, showing over 32,000 distinct cases of alleged land frauds, and demanding further investigation. Among such cases awaiting investigation now pending are 1,960, divided among Florida, Alabama and Mississippi. HEARST'S AGENT ARRESTED. Sensational Arrest at Instance of Oklahoma's, Governor. Guthrie, Okla. — On a warrant sworn out by Governor Haskell, charging conspiracy to defame the governor, Scott MacReynolds, attorney and special agent for William R. Hearst, was arrested. Armed with a search warrant, also sworn to by Governor Haskell, MacReynolds' rooms at the Ione Hotel were searched by Sheriff John Mahoney and Orville T. Smith, private attorney to the governor, and a large amount of data and papers selzed pertaining to the $600,444 libel suit instituted by Haskell against Mr. Hearst. MacReynolds had collected a vast amount of data, all secured in confidence. In a statement made he declared that Governor Haskell's purpose in obtaining his arrest, and the seizure of his papers was to obtain possession of this information to ascertain his importance and to learn from whom he had obtained it. FIERCE ATTACK ON BOOSEVELT. Congressman's Insane Speech Stopped—May Expel Him. Washington, D. C.—Characterizing President Roosevelt as a gargoyle, and as "this pigmy descendant of Dutch tradespeople," and charging him with having "established a court in the white house, which would have delighted the heart of his admired Alexander Hamilton," Mr. Willett of New York, in the house of representatives, made one of the most bitter attacks on the chief executive ever heard in that body. Mr. Willett took for his theme "The Passing of Roosevelt." and in a speech of great length dealt with numerous of the president's acts since he came into office, and scathingly denounced them. So severe was the attack of Mr. Willett, that, after several efforts, public members were able to force him' to take his seat on a call to order before he had finished his sneeck. "DON'T ANGER US" Is Warning of Japanese Newspaper To the United States. Yokohoma, Japan.—Hochi newspaper, in an editorial addressed to Thomas J. O'Brien, American ambassador, and entitled "Don't Anger Us," says: "Japan is grateful to America for opening the country and reverses her as the land where virtue is honored, but fears that sooner or later repented insults will compel Japan to resort to a determined policy of self-protection. "The Hochi appeals to the president and the people of America. Although Japan still believes that the magnanimity that has prevailed in the past will continue, the ceaseless affronts are exhausting our patience." VALUE OF FORESTRY. Under Scientific Methods 102 Per Cent Increase in Timber. Washington, D. C.-Uncle Sam's national forests yielded an increase of 102 per cent. in timber last year, over the record for 1907, giving returns of $49,027. Twenty-five per cent of this amount went back to the states, to be allied to the fund for the support and maintenance of roads and public schools. The amount of timber cut from all the national forests was 392,792,000 feet, as against 194, 372,000 feet in the previous year. This figure for 1908 does not include the 131,482,000 feet given away to settlers, schools and churches under "free use" permits. LESE MAJESTE CHARGED. Sevental Newspapers are Called Before Federal Grand Jury. Washington, D. C.-Six Washington correspondents of out-of-town papers and a local newsboy received subpoenas to appear before federal grand juries and give testimony, presumably in connection with statements appearing in connection with statements appearing in their publications bearing on the Panama canal purchase. So far as it has been possible to ascertain, these were the only ones cited: Otto Carmichael, Charles S. Albert and E. Jesse Conway, all of the New York World staff; James Hornady, Indianapolis News; Jeremiah Matthews, New York Sun; Harris M. Crist, Brooklyn Eagle, and William Smith, a newsboy of Washington, engaged in selling New York papers. With the exception of Mr. Crist, who is commanded to go to New York and present himself before the grand jury of the circuit court for the southern district, the persons are directed to appear before the federal grand jury of the District"of Columbia. The World staff also were directed to bring with them files of the paper for September, October, November and December, 1908, "in the case of United States vs. The Press Publishing Company," publishers of the New York World. There is no doubt here that the subpoenas all have to do with a suit for libel, which, it is believed, has been brought by the government in New York against The World. It was the publisher of The New York World in connection with the publisher of the Indianapolis News, Messrs. Laffan and Delavan Smith, whom the president, in a letter dated December 1 last, to William Foulle, in response to one from him, severely denounced, and in his special message to congress of December 15, regarding the charges of corruption by or on behalf of the government in the matter of the canal purchase, the president announced that the attorney general had under consideration the form in which proceedings for libel against Mr. Pulitzer should be brought. Nowhere in the annals of the government has such actions before been taken as the United States government suing for criminal libel. The president, in his message, was most emphatic in saying that it should not be left to a private citizen to enter the suit, and he was particular to state that he did not believe "we should concern ourselves with the particular individuals who wrote the lying and libelous editorials, articles from correspondents or articles in the news columns. The real offender is Joseph Pulitzer, editor and proprietor of The World." It, therefore, is inferred that the correspondents were summoned as witnesses and not with the ultimate idea of making them co-defendants. NEWSY PARAGRAPHS. The home of the late Grover Cleveland at Princeton, N. J., is advertised for sale. The house had been Mr. Cleveland's home ever since his retirement from the white house, March 3, 1897. General Nelson A. Miles in speaking of the recent ninety-eight mile horseback ride of President Roosevelt, said it did not seem so long ago when he himself made a ninety mile trip on horseback in nine hours, reviewing troops at, the end of the journey. "Aren't you afraid that some strenuous person may get after you in regard to those figures?" he was asked by a reporter. "Well, if I'm pushed hard enough, I may go so far as to make the journey again," said General Miles. Possibility of hydrophobia, the result of having been scratched by a pet dog, is giving serious concern to John W. Gates, the multi-millionaire, and also his wife and others. When Mr. Gates reached Pasadena, Cal., to visit his son, he received a telegram to isolate his pet Boston bull pup, as three dogs, at his Port Arthur home that had been bitten by a tramp cur dog at the same time Mr. Gate's bull terrier was bitten, had developed hydrophobia. Mr. Gates, Mrs. Gates and others in the party have frequently been scratched and bitten by the animal in play. Miss Daisy Moore, who was rescued a mental wreck from the "Holy Rollers" at San Diego, is with her family in Oakland, Cal. No one is allowed to see her, and she is reported to be still very ill. Dr. Edward Newell of San Jose who led in the rescue of the young Baptist Sunday school teacher from the influence of the religious fanatics, says that the girl will regain her mental equilibrium if she is guarded from interference by her former associates. Miss Moore is evidently under a hypnotic spell and is partly unbalanced on religious subjects. An invention expected to bring joy to the hearts of those who are forced to use party telephone lines will shortly be placed on the market by a Brooklyn company just formed. The corporation is known as the Secret Telephone company. The apparatus is a simple device that may be attached to any telephone or switchboard, and its effect is to cut off all eavesdropping so that only the interested parties can hear the conversation that may be going on. A sensation was caused throughout South Carolina by the arrest of Joshua W. Ashley, for twenty years a legislator, on the charge of pénage. Mr. Ashley is a member of the house of representatives and is one of the best known men in the state. "DRY" MEASURE VETOED But Tennessee Legislature Overrides the Governor. MANUFACTURE OF WHISKEY Will Also Be Made Unlawful---A Measure to That Effect Having Passed the General Assembly. Nashville, Tenn.—Governor Patterson has filed with the clerk of the senate a message vetoing the statewide prohibition bill, which last week was passed by both houses of the legislature. The governor's action followed adjournment of the senate, after it had passed on third reading the bill prohibiting the manufacture in Tennessee of intoxicating liquors. The bill prohibiting the manufacture of liquor was amended so as to become effective January 1, 1910. With the two laws on the statute books, property worth many millions would be made practically worthless, vast revenues to the state, certain counties and cities would be cut off and anti-prohibitionists claim that taxes would necessarily become burdensome. Nashville, Memphis and Chattanooga are the only cities that would be affected by the bill prohibiting the sale of liquor, as local option laws are already in effect practically through the state. In his veto message, Governor Patterson charges that this legislation is against the democratic platform and the doctrine of self-government; that it sets aside the recorded will of the people; that experience has taught that no arbitrary prohibition law was ever obeyed and its enactment brings no settlement of the question; that it destroys property, reduces state revenues, increases taxation, takes money from the people to send it elsewhere, foments discord impairs the dignity of the commonwealth; fosters hypocrisy and invites evasion and deceit in the people. Over the veto of Governor Patterson both houses of the legislature passed the senate bill number 1, which prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquors within four miles of a school house in Tennessee, and is in effect a state-wide prohibition act. It is effective July 1, 1909. The vote in the senate, which came at 2:45 p. m., stood 20 to 13, the same as on the original passage. The house acted at 5:40 p. m., the vote standing 61 to 36, the original vote there having been 62 to 37. In each house the passage was effected through a co-ordination of republican and state-wise democratic strength. The action of the legislature practically brings to a close one of the bitterest and most sensational political fights in the history of Tennessee. State-wide prohibition was the main issue in the recent contest between Governor Patterson and the late E. W. Carmack for the democratic gubernatorial nomination, and, although Patterson, who advocated local option, won the nomination, the legislature elected in November last at the same time he was, has, after stormy times, gone against him. This came, however, with the aid of republicans, who gave the bill 22 votes in the house and five in the senate. Carmack, after his defeat for the nomination, continued the fight for prohibition through the columns of the Nashville Tennesseean, of which he was editor, and to the blitterness of this campaign is directly attributable the fight in which the former senator lost his life on the streets here November 9th last. WOMAN BURGLAR ALARMS. Sight of Stranger Causes Woman to Fire Five Shots. Chicago, ill.-Should a stranger in Lake Bluff, which has recently been the scene of many robberies, incur the suspicion of any woman resident hereafter, here is what will happen. The woman will rush to a second-story window and fire five shots from a revolver. She will then begin to toot a tin horn she has been instructed to blow. Her women neighbors will open windows and took their horns until there is a mile and a half of tooting. The citizens' committee lately formed has issued an elaborate list of instructions as to the method of quelling the maurauder and results are awaited with interest. OIL FINE IN TEXAS. Upheld in the Supreme Court of the United States. Washington, D. C.-The supreme court of the United States affirmed the decree of the state courts of Texas imposing a fine of $1,623,000 on the Waters-Pierce Oil Company of St. Lolus, and ousting it from the state on the charge of violating the Texas anti-trust law. MORE COTTON MARKETS. Secretary Wilson in According Witn Suggestion of New Orleans. Washington, D. C.-Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is in thorough accord with the suggestion made to him by President W. D. Thompson of the New Orleans cotton exchange, for an extension of the field for consumption of American cotton, and will do anything in his power to promote such a movement. The secretary suggests, however, in a letter to President Thompson, that the proposition should be brought to the attention of the department of commerce and labor, whose province is to investigate foreign fields for extending American commerce. LATE NEWS NOTES. The receivers of the Seaboard A2 Line railroad in Norfolk, have awarded contracts for rolling stock aggregating about $800,000. The Chinese harbor boat Samstul fired two shots at the British steamer Chenpo for fouling a wood raft. This angered Captain Lewington, of the Chenpo, who, arming himself with a revolver, boarded the Samstul in a small boat, arrested the commanding officer and turned him over to the captain of the British gunboat Robin. The occurrence is now being investigated by the captain of the Robin and the British consul. A serious "no rent" campaign has begun in Tipperary, Ireland, owing to the refusal of the landlords of several estates to sell land to the tenants under the land purchase act of 1903. The judge, in issuing decrees against thirty-six recalcitrant tenants, said that the landlord was making a mistake in not selling the lands, as it would involve all the old troubles of evictions and martyrdom to tenants. The priests and the public generally are supporting the tenants strongly and are raising funds for their defense. The struggle promises to be severe. In an effort to stem the increasing number of "affiliates and make martial infidelity a thing to be shunned by both husbands and wives," Senator Dennis J. Harte of New York is to introduce a bill in the state legislature providing a twenty-year penalty for such offense. Ap increase in the number of moonshine whiskey stills destroyed in Alabama, Florida and Georgia during the past six months, as compared with any previous six months, was reported by the United States internal revenue department at Atlanta, Ga. Three hundred and ninety-seven illicit stills were destroyed in the three states and about two thousand gallons of whiskey seized. Eighty per cent of the stills destroyed were in Georgia. New York will furnish the bath tub to be used by President-elect Taft on his trip to Panama. It was made especially to accommodate Mr. Taft. Efforts were made to secure the tub in Norfolk, Va., but there was none to be had of the required capacity and New York was appealed to. The tub is to be installed on the cruiser North Carolina. Washington. The collection and publication by the director of the census of statistics of stock of baled cotton in the United States, to be summarized as November 1, December 1, January 1 and March 1, in addition to the cotton-reports, is proposed in a joint resolution presented in the house by Representative Lever of South Carolina. Lydia Kamekaha Llliukolani, former queen of the Hawaiian Islands, who is in Washington making an appeal to congress for compensation, for the crown lands which she lost when the islands were annexed to the United States, said in an interview that although fifteen years had passed since she yielded her authority over the kingdom to avert bloodshed, she yet believes congress will make some reparation for her great financial loss. General James Allen, chief signal officer of the United States army; Major George O. Squire and Lieutenant Lahn appeared before the subcommittee on ordinance and fortifications. General Allen has askell for $500,000 with which to carry on the aeronautic branch of the signal corps service. The erection of a monument in Washington to the memory of Abraham Lincoln is recommended in a resolution introduced by Senator Dick of Ohio. The monument it is provided, shall "be worthy" of his great fame, his service to humanity and to his country and fittingly commemorate the grandeur of character, the nobility of life and epoch-making career." The Italian relief fund of the American Red Cross Society has passed the $900,000 mark. In reporting the naval appropriation bill to the house the committee on naval affairs fixed the amount needed for the maintenance of the naval service during the fiscal year 1910 at $135,662,888, as compared with the $122,662,485, the present appropriation. A remonstrance against a further increase of the United States navy signed by two hundred and twenty-four clergymen of various denominations in Boston, Mass., was received by congress. It is the belief of the ministers that naval preparations have grown so enormously as to become a distressing burden upon the richest nations and an actual menace to the peace of the world. The senate has passed the bill permitting the use of the pension office for the inaugural ball in connection with the main inauguration of Mr. Taft. Senator Scott, in charge of the measure, explained that it contained the usual provision for special police, etc., "to provide for the pickpockets and others who come here on occasion of inaugurations." The story of the striking economic features of man steel and iron industry developed in the face of natural advantages, is told in a report of special Agent Charles M. Pepper, made public by the bureau of manufacturers of the department of commerce and labor. An increase from 7,000,000 tons in 1900, to 12,000,000 tons in 1908 is noted. anty Aid an ON, Supt. of Ageno The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society HOME OFFICE WEST BROAD STREET, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA.

R. E. Parsi Treasurer of the State of Georgia. grow and develop, they find now that agitation of the soil is what is needed rather than the roller to form a crust. I have seen great fields of wheat from about two to three inches high, where the farmer took his harrow and went over the whole field. A man who did not understand the dry-farming process would think that he was going to destroy his crop entirely; but it has been found that the agitation of the soil brings up the moisture that has fallen in the winter, so that the roots of the grain can receive it, and thereby it develops into perfect grain, and is cut and thrashed, and the results show a profitable and successful crop. I know in my state we have whole districts where ten years ago no person on earth ever thought that there would be a kernel of grain raised, and today that whole district is raising thirty bushels of wheat to the acre as a result of the dry-farming process. Mr. President, we have in the state of Utah parts of whole counties where it is impossible to get water to irrigate an acre. The whole water-shed surrounding the county is such that it is impossible that water can be stored in any way, and our state legislature has appropriated time and time again for the purpose of trying to find water sufficient in those districts, by way of artesian wells or by boring deep wells, to enable people to live upon those lands. But it has been utterly impossible to get one single drop of water there, and today men live in little villages, where there are the school-house, the church, and the community interests, and have their farms thirty-five miles off. Such a farmer has to haul every drop of water that distance for his horses and for his own use. He cannot ask his family to go and live upon the land. They cannot do it. He goes by himself and cultivates it in the spring; he has his little cabin there and remains during the harvesting of the crop. It is cut and thrashed right on the land, and then the grain only is drawn to his home. Miss Ruby cently graduate art class in the and until a dumb. Women for personal tax and Yolk.

Once Thought Useless Yielding Thirty Bushels An Acra. By Senator Smoot. R. President, as I started to say before interrupted, the process of dry farming is this: First, they have to have deep ploughing. The land is ploughed in the fall, and, being loose, the snows that fall during the winter find their way into the ground. The old theory of dry farming was that the top soil should be almost baked in order to keep the water in the ground from evaporating, but under the modern method that is not the proper way to dry farm. As soon as the grain is planted in the spring, in order to make it M grow and develop, they find now that agitation of the soil is what is needed rather than the roller to form a crust. I have seen great fields of wheat from about two to three inches high, where the farmer took his harrow and went over the whole field. A man who did not understand the dry-farming process would think that he was going to destroy his crop entirely; but it has been found that the agitation of the soil brings up the moisture that has fallen in the winter, so that the roots of the grain can receive it, and thereby it develops into perfect grain, and is cut and thrashed, and the results show a profitable and successful crop. I know in my state we have whole districts where ten years ago no person on earth ever thought that there would be a kernel of grain raised, and today that whole district is raising thirty bushels of wheat to the acre as a result of the dry-farming process. Mr. President, we have in the state of Utah parts of whole counties where it is impossible to get water to irrigate an acre. The whole watershed surrounding the county is such that it is impossible that water can be stored in any way, and our state legislature has appropriated time and time again for the purpose of trying to find water sufficient in those districts, by way of artesian wells or by boring deep wells, to enable people to live upon those lands. But it has been utterly impossible to get one single drop of water there, and today men live in little villages, where there are the schoolhouse, the church, and the community interests, and have their farms thirty-five miles off. Such a farmer has to haul every drop of water that distance for his horses and for his own use. He cannot ask his family to go and live upon the land. They cannot do it. He goes by himself and cultivates it in the spring; he has his little cabin there and remains during the harvesting of the crop. It is cut and thrashed right on the land, and then the grain only is drawn to his home. "Something For Nothing." "Something For Nothing." By President Hyde, of Bowdoin College. HE most prevalent vice of the American people is the desire to get something for nothing. Maine has the disease as badly as Oklahoma or Nevada. This State receives thousands of dollars a year of revenue from all over the country for organizing corporations under laws that were drafted in the interests of thieves to make wholesale stealing easy. A large number of our substantial citizens the other day found themselves the T proud possessors of a lot of worthless paper. They had bought bonds in a certain corporation capitalized at six or eight times the value of the consolidated properties, attracted by the promise that they might pay not in cash, but by notes, and that while their notes would draw interest of only $250 the bonds would be paying interest on the $1,000, thus giving them a clear profit on their interest accounts at the same time that their bonds were making the expected rise in market value. They woke up to find their notes promptly hypotheticated, payment demanded, and the securities worthless. Swindler and swindled are smooth outside and rough inside; of the same piece of moral shoddy.

THING'S WORTH KNOWING Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, Maine and Missouri, in the order named, are the greatest producers of lime. A device which forces water down to the roots of plants is said to produce wonderful improvement in crops. Charles II. is said to have first encouraged the public appearance of women on the stage in England in 1662. Experiments with new machinery on the Chilean nitrate fields are expected to cut the cost of production in half. The average cost for fuel for a railroad train is ten cents a mile, and the average fireman burns $2500 worth a year. The Jewish population of the United States in 1818 was about 3000. In 1908 it is estimated at over 1,000,000. John McCleishy, seventy years old, left Mount Vernon, Ill., for Scotland to wed his boyhood sweetheart. He declares that he has never kissed a woman. More diamonds are coming to New York City each week now than during any previous week in the last six months. Dealers are looking for a greatly increased trade. One of the largest saw mills in the world has been erected on the island of Hawaii by a company which has a contract to furnish a million ties a year to an American railroad. New York City's real estate value, according to the assessment, is $900,000,000 more than the entire assessed real estate values of all the land west of the Mississippi River. A letter written by Robert Burns and which was part of the Morgan collection on exhibition at Columbia University denied authorship of "Auld Lang Syne."

Thirty-eight grandchildren were present and forty great-grandchildren. "Oh," I am so happy to see all my babies again," she said. It is said that Emperor William of Germany has always been careful that the ancestral cradle of the Hohenzollerns should be used for each infant member of his family in succession. This cradle is over two centuries old, and is of curiously carved black oak. It is supposed to protect the baby who sleeps in it from convulsions and other childish ailments. The Country Life Delusion By EUGENE WOOD. The editorial writers of the great metropolitan dailies, who have plumbed the depths of every mystery and from whom no secrets are hid, cannot conceal their vexation at being unable to say why people will persist in being such awful tools as to prefer existence in six rooms and both in the snowed earthside a bath in the crowded, unwholesome city to living—really living, don't you understand—out in the country where you can get fresh air and fresh eggs, out where the biggs and the northwest winds whistle, and the children have room to play and nobody to play with, white they twine them wreaths of clover blossoms and poison ivy and get as brown as a berry. By the way, what sort of berries are those brown berries you hear so much about? Blackberries and blueberries I know, and strawberries are red, and 'most every kind of berry is green at the start, and there's a front yard bush that bears white berries, but what for kind of berry is brown? In the spring and summer, in addition to these editorials bewailing the clotted folly of the human race in wanting to live in town, are letters from reclaimed sinners who have seen the error of their ways and now have little places of their own (subject to a first and second mortgage and a mechanic lien) out in the country, where life is one grand, sweet song. Though meat and vegetables and groceries and clothing and a few other little things are somewhat higher than in town, and you cannot keep help except at the muzzle of a shotgun, you can live so much more happily and inexpensively.

Human beings, like domestic animals, are kept up to a standard that permits them to survive by the constant selection of the capable and the weeding out of the unfit. Let that selection be for a time intermitted or removed, and the individuals sink back to the lower level from which they had been raised. From philanthropic motives Captain Cook left in New Zealand a number of pigs, intending that they should serve the needs of the indigenes or of future immigrants. The indigenes used them—they use them to this day—but many of them ran wild, reverted to their primitive type, and now furnish the dangerous sport known in Europe as boar-hunting and in India as plr-sticking. Horses and cattle in Australia have escaped to "the bush," and in a single generation they have lost the five points scientifically bred in them, and resumed the old life of the species. In both countries domestic cats take to the forest and soon reacquire their daring and predatory habits. Cultivated plants are blown into inhospitable places and forthwith lose their graceful forms, their bright colors and their insoluble scents. It is not otherwise with human beings. Wherever men have gone among savages, some of them have sunk to or below the level of their degraded associates. They assume their manners, wear their costume and carry their weapons, eat their food, assimilate their sentiments and speak, their language. Sometimes they forget their mother tongue and lose all recollection of their past. In a few years they roll down the steep ascent their ancestors had taken fifteen or twenty centuries to climb. Old New Zealand was an omnium gatherum of all the ruffianism of the South Spas. At the annexation of the islands in 1839 it was estimated that there were 150 pakehas, or half-wild men, scattered chiefly in the north island. Some of them had gone inland and were living as Maoris. Yet none of these were properly "wild men." Under a veneer of barbarism some at least of them were civilized Englishmen at heart, who led sordid or malmed, but not savage, lives. The Three Australian Convicts. Very different from most of these, and truly wild men, were three Australian convicts. In 1833 a party of Tasmanian settlers who had shortly before landed on the Victorian coast, in the neighborhood of what is now Melbourne, were startled by the approach of an aboriginal, as he seemed. He was a giant (six feet five inches without his boots, as was afterwards' ascertained); not black, it soon appeared, but browned by exposure; with long matted hair and a patriarchal sweep of beard. He carried in his right hand two spears and in his left a waddy and a boomerang; and he was clothed in kangaroo skins. He sat down among his fellow-countrymen, for such they were. They spoke to him and questioned him, but no word of answer could be got from him. He remained in a kind of mental stupor, the brain refusing to act. Not till after ten days did the long-closed cells of speech and memory begin to unlock and yield their secrets. Even then but little could be extracted from him. Partly from himself, but mainly from his black "gin," a few confused details were learned. His name was William Buckley, Born at Macclesfield in 1780, he was drafted from the militia into the Fourth Infantry Regiment. With it he served on the Walcheren expedition and at Gibraltar. There he was accused of mutiny and transported to Botany Bay. From New South Wales in 1803 he was deported to Victoria, whither a band of convicts was sent under Judge-Advocate Collins. Very strangely, a little boy named Pascoe Faulkner, son of a convict, was also with that party; he is now honored as the founder of Victoria. One of Three Lived. Buckley, with two more convicts, escaped into the bush. Buckley's physique, enabled him to survive hardships that killed the other two. For a year he lived on the shellfish in a cave at Queenscliff, now known as Buckley's Cave; then he was tracked by blacks. The critical moment of his life had come; Buckley proved equal to it, not by cunning or force, of character, for he had neither, but by sheer stolidity. "Are you Chief Bawron?" they cried to him, naming a dead chief whom they believed to have come to life again in Buckley. He nodded and grunted assent. He answered further questions with the same inarticulate affirmation. They were satisfied, and acknowledged, him as their resuscitated chief. For thirty years he lied among them in all ways like themselves—in all ways but one! He was joining in a feast after a victory of his people over another tribe, when his stomach and fecilities alike revolted at the roasted flesh of the captured blacks. He left his associates and wandered away by himself, taking with him a girl and a blind boy whom he had adopted. Eventually, he returned and resumed the old life. A black girl to whom he had been married proved faithless, and (to his grim delight) was speared, with her lover, by the tribe. He married a second time, but had no children by either wife. Twice or thrice at the most did the opportunity of escape present itself, when ships touched at, the bay, but each time he was baffled. Thirty-two Years a Savage. Nearly thirty-two years had rolled away when Buckley learned, that a party of whites, who had landed on the coast, was about to be attacked. He made a two days' journey to warn them. When Governor Arthur soon after, granted him a free pardon, the shock was so great as for some time to paralyze his atrophied faculties. At length he took service with an officer of the regiment he had once belonged to, which had been sent to Australia. This he tired of, and he passed over to Tasmania, where Sir John Franklin found him something to do. On the strength of a pension of £12, given him by the Government of Tasmania, and another of £10 given him by the Government of Victoria, he married a third time—a (white) widow, with a daughter. He was to be seen, in Hobart "pacing along the middle of the road with his eyes vacantly fixed upon some object before him, never once turning his head to either side or saluting a passerby; and seeming as one not belonging to the world." Little information about his past or the savages he had lived with could be gleaned from him. His faculties had been hopelessly clouded by his long sequestration from civilized life. "A mindless lump of matter" was the account given of him. He died of an accident in 1856. Other Runaways. Wild whites were usually convicts. In 1825 the head of the convict settlement at Moreton Bay (now Brisbane, Queensland) was a stern old Peninsular officer, Captain Logan, who governed it as it would have been dangerous to govern a herd of placid animals. Many of the maddened convicts escaped, finding the horrors of life among the blacks less terrible than Logan's merciless rule. In 1859 it was decided to try to recover some of these absconders. Andrew Petrel, one of the many Scottish explorers of Queensland, was sent to the north on a joint mission of discovery and recovery. Bracebridge was used as a decoy to recover another man residing with a tribe at Wide Bay. When they arrived at the spot, Bracebridge was sent forward to meet the other, Davis, or Durrambol. Apparently in the native language, he explained to Davis that the station was abolished, and that Petrie had come to take them back to Brisbane. Instantly, Davis' suspicions were aroused. He passionately accused Bracebridge of concocting a falsehood that she might entrap him. In a moment Bracebridge was again transformed into the black fellow, and 'angrily sang a challenge to Davis. The two stood there for a while, each the sport of contending natures in him—those of the black and of the white man—perhaps as striking a concrete example of the conflict between the good and evil principles as has been witnessed. In poetry and in fiction—in Tennyson and Kingsley, Ahriman vanquishes Ormuzd. It is not always so in reality; happily, it was so now. The white man conquered first in Davis, the last reclaimed, and he ran off to Petrie's party, soon followed by Bracebridge. Petrie's words are too vivid to be weakened by substitution or paraphrase: "I shall never forget his [Davis] appearance when he arrived at' our camp—a white 'man in' a state of nudity, and actually a wild man' of the woods; his eyes wild and unable to rest a moment on any one object. He had quite the same manners and gestures that the wildest blacks have got. He could not speak his 'mither's tongue,' as he called it [the Scottish dialect]. He could 'not even pronounce English' for some time, and when he did attempt it, all he could say was a few words, and these often misapplied, breaking off in the middle of a sentence with the black gibberish, which he spoke very fluently. During the whole of our conversation his eyes and manner were completely wild, looking' at us as if he had never seen a white man before. In fact, he told us he had nearly forgotten all about the society of, white man, and had, forgotten all about his friends and relations for years past, and had I or some one else not brought him from among these sayages, he would never have left them." Fifteen of twenty years ago Davis, who was the son of a blacksmith in Glasgow, was still living in Brisbane, where he kept a small crockery shop. His strength had been broken by the hardships of his life among the blacks, so that he looked ten years older than he actually was. His reserve about his past was hictricible. A tragical case was that of a professor of classics from Columbia College, New York, who lived in savage isolation, in Northern Queensland. There, twenty-five years ago, he was speared by the blacks. Few countries have witnessed such awful maltrecks as Australia—Sydney (Australia) Correspohdence of the New York Evening Post. Three of these wagons have been ordered by the Brazilian Government for the Rio Janelro police force. PERHAPS. How to Make a Fountain by Penning Up a Spring. It is perhaps difficult to believe it, but nevertheless it is a fact, that a spring which emerges from a boggy place and passes out of an overflow in a rill can be often converted into a mountain or geyser spring, by penning it up. It seems at the first glance that it is folly to attempt to make water rise above its ordinary level, because it appears to controvert natural laws of hydraulics; but that do- e e3 b c d g e b 3 b Diagram showing method of constructing a "fountain spring"; Sy, point of emergence of spring; G, gravel; S, sand; G, clay; b b b 2 b 3, sunken barrel; e e 1 e 2 e 3, outline original excavation. pends entirely upon the force behind the spring, and it is quite a simple matter to concentrate that force and confine it to a limited outlet. Where there is a "head" of water, the power of that head may be untilized to squirt a stream into the air or make it flow through pipes to a desired point. The idea is to trap the entire power of the spring and send it through a small pipe. Myron L. Fuller discusses springs in a recent bulletin of the United States Agricultural Bureau, and one of his suggestions is entrapping a spring with a bottomless barrel and confining it so that all the flow of water will rise through a central pipe in the interior of the barrel. Any boiling spring which is not too large may be made to jet its water if confined in a barrel or similar caisson. His description of the device is as follows: A bottomless barrel (b b 1 h 2 b 3) may then be inserted and an upright pipe placed in the centre with its bottom nearly level with the lower edge of the barrel. Around the pipe inside the barrel are packed round stones (G) three or four inches in The Patient ('having escaped from call again' to-morrow." — From The Sk Feminine Notes. Barnard undergraduates decided to give a Latin play. Mrs. Susan T. Mille, president of MILS College and the first woman educator of Calligraphy, was passed her eighty-third birthday. A summons was issued for the promoters of the Pimaedia Company on the complaint of a woman in New York City, who had invested $2500. Miss Ruby Abramsy who was recently graduated at the head of the art class in Cooper Institute, is deaf, and until a few years ago was also dumb. diameter at the bottom, but gradually decreasing in size until a height of two feet is reached. About six inches of sand (B) should then be inserted, covered with an equal thickness of clay or of as clayy sand or loam as can be found (C). This should somewhat more than fill the remainder of the barrel, and should be worked in around the edges on the outside until all avenue of escape of the water, except through the projecting pipe, is cut off. The ground should then be feveled over and thoroughly tamped down. An augur hole bored, through the clay at the point where the water rises (Sp) will sometimes improve, the flow. In more elaborate constructions cement can be used to advantage in place of clay. The result of this treatment is that the water of the spring, deprived of its ordinary outlet, is formed to rise through the pipe. The height to which it will rise and the force with which it will flow depends upon its head, which is in turn dependent upon the elevation of its source. There are many instances where the water is raised into roadside troughs, and its posthitifies in connection with farm and household supplies are considerable.—Newark Call.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1909 An anti saloon convention will be held in Atlanta next month by members of the race. Along the uplifting lines our people can be strongly noted. JUDGE Taft spoke to our people of Atlanta on Saturday, to the Y. M. C. A. at Augusta on Sunday and at Haines Institute on Tuesday. Each of these addresses was on a high plane. TILLMAN has denied that he is entirely against Negro education. Yet he says that he is not in favor of fully educating the Negro unless the fifteenth amendment to the federal constitution is repealed. In this the senator has paid the Negro a high compliment because he says in fact that the Negro will outstrip the white man if he is educated and the fifteenth amendment is not repealed. ONE of the strongest banks in the state threw up the doors of its magnificent new building for inspection on Tuesday. It is indeed a handsome building and finely finished. This bank contains the deposits of a larger per cent of our people than any other in the city. Notwithstanding this a jim crow department has been arranged for them. Before the merging of the two banks this department was inaugurated by the Southern and which caused hundreds of dollars to be withdrawn by those of our people who would not stand for such arrangement. It remains to be seen how the others will enjoy the present gilded jim crow cut off. In his address at Haines Institute on Tuesday, Judge Taft paid a glowing tribute to Miss Lucy C. Laney. He said: "That a colored woman, could have constructed this great institution of learning and brought it to its present state of usefulness speaks volumes for the capacity of that woman." After reviewing the hardships and struggles which the work had entailed, he continued: "Therefore I shall go out of this meeting, despite the distinguished presence here, carrying in my memory only the figure of that woman who has been able to create all this." This tribute is a just one. Miss Laney is worthy of every word uttered and more too. Everything being equal, the work she has done looms up brightly with that of Dr. Washington's. As Sayannahians we love Miss Laney and are interested in her work. Having taught in the public schools here before going to Augusta, she has left an impress for good that will never be eradicated. We have seen 20 Negro slaves landed at Jamestown before Plymouth Rock was touched by Pilgrim feet, grow into 10,000,000 freemen. We have seen their descendants prominent in every war, whether for colonial independence, to preserve the Union, or to liberate millions in the Antilles or the Philippines. We have seen them patriotically baring breasts to shot and shell, sabre stroke and bolo, perishing by thousands, but always keeping the old flag symbol of a nation's honor, from trailing in the dust. We have seen them as ministering angels in the fever camps and hospitals, as devoted teachers in the schools, professors in the colleges and universities, preachers and theologians, doctors and deans, poets and musicians, editors, authors and publishers, inventors, Chautauqua orators, congressmen, ministers plenipotentiary, and occupying thousands of offices within the gift of government. And we have yet to see a Negro traitor!—News Democrat. Douglass Memorial Under date of March 20, 1908 I had the honor to submit an appeal to the Negro people of the United States reading in part as follows: "Some two or three years ago the suggestion was made at a banquet of the Pen and Pencil Club of Washington, D. C., that something should be done to assist the efforts that were at that time being made to preserve and transmit as a legacy to the Negro people of this country the home of Frederick Douglass at Anacostia, District of Columbia. "The custom of celebrating the anniversary of Frederick Douglass? death is already widespread among our people, but it seemed to those of us who were present at the dinner of the Pencil Club, given in honor and memory of Frederick Douglass, that the time had come when his memory should be preserved in something less perishable than after-dinner speeches, however eloquent. It seemed to us that the time had come when we could properly appeal to the masses of our people to assist in preserving the Douglass Home, with all its memories and traditions and make it a permanent memorial not only of our great leader but to the Negro people of the United States, as well. "An association, known as the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association, has been formed to effect this purpose. I have been asked by the officers of the Memorial Association to assist in securing the comparatively small sum of money amounting to some $5,400 and interest necessary to clear off the mortgage on the property and so secure the property for all time to the Association and the Negro people of the United States." February 14th, is generally celebrated as the birthday of Frederick Douglass. I wish to emphasize the above statement and ask that Negro fraternal organizations, churches and Sunday schools throughout the country set aside this day in celebration of Mr. Douglass' devoted services in behalf of the race. The 4,800 still remaining unpaid should be raised this year. I want to especially urge upon those in charge of the above named organizations that properly arranged programs may be followed and that systematic collections be taken to the end that we may wipe out this indebtedness of $4,800 and make Cedar Hill a Mecca for our people as Mount Vernon is to the white people of the country. The masses of the people, if properly appealed to will be sure to respond and liberally. Amounts, how ever small, will be greatly appreciated, and may be forwarded to me at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama or to any of the officers of the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association.

The bounds were fixed and marshals appointed. The disciplinary questions were dispensed with and a marked increase was shown durning the thirty days of Dr. Townsley's pastorate. The organization of the various board and the arranging of the committees for the years' labor, shows that the pastor is thoughtful, far-sighted and at home anywhere in the great A. M. E. Church.

Dr. Townsley has put new life into our church and placed it on a systematic method for work. He is prompt to the minute, and moves among his parishoners with grace and ease. Every department of the church is touched by him, and he is found in every one of them, bury at work and not spectating. He is a God-sent to us, and we will show our appreciation by our work and support. Twenty-six persons have joined the church during his stay at present. Thos. Walker, Reporter Quarterly Conference B $ Hannah, P E. L S Townsley, P C St. Mary's Charity Aid Society In St. Benedict's Church. Twelve months ago several ladies of St. Benedict's congregation gathered together and formed a new society, which they called St. Mary's Charity Aid Society. They elected Mrs C Mills as first president of the society. During the past year these ladies have done good work in getting new members and in making the rules of their society and today it is splendidly organized. As its name indicates, the aim of this society is above all to unite its members by the sweet bans of Christian charity and to help each other in time of sickness and of death. What we want in the lonesome days of suffering and sickness, is not only financial help, but also the consoling visit of good friends; we want a kind a cheerful word even more than the dollar. Mindful of the sacred duty of visiting and consoling the sick, the members of St. Mary's Society have appointed a committee of several ladies who will visit the sick members of St. Benedict's congregation and give them help and assistance whenever they are needed. Many young ladies have joined the new society, and at the first meeting of the new year, they have elected a young, bright and energetic president in the person of Miss Marie Taylor. The other officers of the society are Mrs. M. Lapham, vice president; Mrs. S Cuyler, treasurer; Mrs. Ford, clerk of order; Mr. J. M. Dowse, secretary. Mr. Dowse is the only male member of the society and has been admitted to it and elected as its secretary by a special privilege, this certainly is a great compliment to Mr. Dowse, who is the devoted and talented secretary of some other societies attached to St. Benedict's Church. F. B. B. Church Dots. F. B. B. Church Dots. On last Sunday doring, Rev. Sims preached a real historical sermon of the F B B Church. His text was from Sol. 23-9, subject "Preservation and succession." He began by saying that good children like it sit still and hear their elder tell of family matters. We sat very still while he told of the hardships and trouble that Rev. Bryan endured to establish the oldest church in N. A. 122 years ago. On Sunday night, the church had as its guests the Grand United Benevolent Society. Rev. Wright read for the lesson Phil. 21-22. The text was from Rev. 113, subject "We want to let you see the Redeemer." The sermon was just what you might have expected: from one who has seen the Redeemer for himself. It was a noble sermon. At the close the choir sang "When we reach the Pearly Gates." Rev. Wright led the hymn "A throne of grace." He asked those who felt the need of a Saviour to come to the mercy seat. The society stood and Rev. Wright prayed for all in the most earnest and fervent tone. The society contributed liberally to the church, pastor, choir and sexton. Come down and attend the last of the anniversary services on Sunday and commune with us Sunday afternoon. Second Baptist Church. Second Baptist Church We were blessed with good preaching here through the week. Rev. Richard Carroll, Ph. D. of Columbia, S. C. preached Sunday at 1 a.m., it was one of the best sermons ever delivered in our pulpit. The pastor being physically unable to preach, Bro. Rogers preached and admirable sermon Sunday night. Rev. Dr. Smith of Jacksonville, Fla., preached a powerful sermon Thursday night. The choir which is under the general supervision of Mr. C. F. Waters has been raised to the standard of yore; the number of young men and women has been raised to about 20 and all were in their places at both hours Sunday and did credit to themselves also their teacher. All who attended the services were perfectly delighted, and expressed themselves as being aware of the choir reaching up to its former rank. Everybody invited tomorrow to hear the special music by the choir; the pastor will be exceedingly brief in his sermons in order for the choir to have ample time to give satisfaction to the great crowds expected here tomorrow. The Choral Union, meets every Wednesday day night and two more members are wanted. The names of the more installed members into the choir will appear in The TRIBUNE next week. The reception given by the Deaconess Board, to the pastor, deacons, and all annually elected officers here last Wednesday night was a swell affair; the choir with our incomparable organist Miss Essie Monroe, again captured their hearts with surpassing ease.

The most successful quarterly conference ever held at St. Phillip Church, West Broad and Charlts streets, came to a close on Sunday night. B yond the sanguine expectations of the pastor and officials, the record was broken and will go down in the history of the church as such. Rev. R H Singleton, D D, the presiding elder of St. Philip and the West Savannah District, one of the foremost ministers of the great A f E Church, a recent candidate for the bishopric and who has held many important positions in the church, preached at the morning and night services to the most representative congregation that ever assembled in St. Philip. Dr. Singleton held his audience spell bound for more than three quarters of an hour with his oratory, eloquence and the biblical truth that were expounded and the instruction and advice given to the young men and women; the solace to the aged and infirm brought forth tears from every eye. If we would just take heed to the appeal made by this great man of God, Bro. C H Price one of our old fathers who fell asleep in bed on Tuesday of last week was buried from St. Philip on Friday. Bro. Price in his younger days was one of the most widely known members and officials of St. Philip. He filled various positions as trustee, choreist, superintendent of the Sunday school, class leader and secretary of the trustee board. Sister Young also of the board. Sister Young also of the Sunday school from St. Philip. The musical entertainment given on Monday night was quite a success and a part of the proceeds will be the same of the proceedings for the ensuing year by Presiding Elder Dr. Singleton at the session of the quarterly conference on Friday night: S. J. Howard, A L Bradwell, F J Dixon, A G Holbrook, W Quarterman, B J Jackson, R W Cole, F Y Symons and R Barnes.

Eight new scholars were added. Class-meeting on Tuesday night was well attended upward of two hundred being present. Four were added to the church.

First Tabernacle Church Dots On last Sunday morning at 5 o'clock, a goodly number of the faithful members met to witness a warm prayer service and each one present was made to rejoice. The pastor, Rev. B. H. J. Carrawel delivered two powerful sermons, the morning sermon being directed to the children, as the Sunday School having been changed from 3 p. to 9 a. m. many of the children remained for the services. This being the first Sunday since the change, it was indeed gratifying to see so many of the children, as well as the older ones present; Under the leadership of he Supt W.

It was said that this was one of the best sermons our pastor ever preached. Services will be conducted at 11 a.m by the pastor and 8:30 p.m by Brother E. L. Heywood He is a strong gospel preacher.

Service was in courses and each was prepared in a delicious manner and full justice was done by all present. Mr. Tyson acted as toast master and the president, Mr. Denegall, responded first, giving an inaugural address reflective of much for the good of the association. Nearly every one present paid a tribute to the organization, and the retiring president, Mr. M. B. Branham, was given a large share on account of his efficient administration. The occasion was an enjoyable one, and much mirth was in evidence. The "Rig Gig" by Mr. Dowse, "Rice Straw" by Mr Curley, the N. P. S. song by a few of that set, and especially Mr. Geary's "brass band" added to the pleasures, terminated by the parting song. The special guests were Mr. D. J. Scott, Dr. J. H. Bugg and Tim TRINUNE representative, each of whom gave expressions of delight on being present. The banquet was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. King, West Bolton street. Mesdames S. A. King, A. D. Monroe, F. L. Curley and M. K. Miller assisted the committee in serving. This occasion was voted one of the best ever had by the carriers, who deserve all that they enjoyed and more too, because the force is second to none in the service. Token of Appreciation. Tuesday evening last the Married Ladies Circle entertained a few friends at the cozy residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Davis. The occasion was one of the most pleasant ever had by the Circle, and each attendant vied in expressing themselves that way. Coincidently the date of the social and birthday of the hostess were the same. This was happily remembered by the members of the Circle, who through Mrs. M. B. Branham presented Mrs. Davis an exquisite cut glass powder bowl with a neat oxidized top. The presentation took Mrs. Davis by surprise, and who responded in an appreciative manner. The ladies extended words of congratulation and felicitated her not only on her birthday, but for the sincere friendship that exists among them. Painters Day at Charity Hospital. Charity Hospital will have its customary painting day next Wednesday Jan. 27th. A large number of painters will give free a day's work. Other friends will give in money or kind to furnish materials for painting. Every friend and well wisher is expected to donate. Whatever is over and above will go toward improving. Charity Hospital is now taxed to the limit of its capacity, every bed in the building is occupied. There is great need of enlargement and the management is endeavoring to acquire more room and it is hoped that this movement will be the beginning of great growth for Charity Hospital. There is a list at the Hospital and one in the hands of Dr. J. W. Williams, where donations can be made. The ladies will furnish dinner for the painters and good work is expected to be accomplished.

WOMANS REALM French Toast With Sliced Peaches.—Cut as many slices of bread as there are people to be served; stamp out the slices into rounds or cut in squares, discarding the crust. For six rounds, beat an egg and add to it one-fourth a cup of milk, and a few grains of salt. Put the prepared bread into the egg mixture, and let stand until the whole has been taken up by the bread. Have ready butter melted in a frying pan, and in this cook the bread to a golden brown on both sides. Serve with sliced and sugared peaches above each slice. Soft, mellow peaches are needed. Harder peaches cooked in syrup may be used, the syrup serving as a sauce.—Boston Cooking School Magazine. "A new value has been placed upon the red-haired girl," says the Liverpool Post. "Many of the largest stores in America," the article goes on to say, putting the word "stores" in quotation marks so that the British mind may recognize it as meaning "shops," have advertised for these girls with red locks for the unique reason of their surpassing sunny temperament. The manager of one of the large down-town restaurants explains his preference on the ground that the red-haired girl is more optimistic, energetic and adaptable than any other kind. Moreover, she is generally gifted with a clear completion, and is usually the pink of neatness, this astute restaurant man has discovered, and all men particularly appreciate these qualities. The threadbare saying about the fiery halr and a corresponding temper is another one of the groundless superstitions that must go down before this practical test of its validity and the red-halred girl may wave her colors in token of her meekness and docility.—Argonaut. Charms of Pleaders. A new element, insidious and prejudicial to the equal administration of justice, is said to have crept into the law courts of Paris with the advent of women attorneys. The acumen which once went to the disentanglement of involved points of law is now being directed to the solution of this fresh problem. The leaders of the Paris bar are discreetly hinting that the learned magistrates are not wholly insensible to the physical charms of the women pleaders, and that logic is no longer enthroned in its pre-eminent niche in the temples of justice. The women speak so fair and with such a tuneful eloquence that justice is now and then caught nodding: Those who have been placed in custody or who have property rights in jeopardy are said to have been quick to discern the truth and to avail themselves of this extra-legal appeal. There are professional regulations against advertising, but recently the editor of a legal publication hit upon the clever expedient of publishing the Our Cut-Out Recipe. Paste in Your Scrap-Book. French Toast With 1 of bread as there are 3 slices into rounds or cut. For six rounds, beat an egg milk, and a few grains of the egg mixture, and I taken up by the bread frying pan, and in this both sides. Serve with each slice. Soft, melli peaches cooked in syrupy a sauce.—Boston Cookie photographs of women pleaders in his journal. Thus it was possible for the public to avail itself of the most charming members of the profession. Now that particular publisher and his journal have fallen into disrepute with the leaders of the bar. It is alleged that such a practice should be discountened, because it subjects the less well favored feminine pleaders to a handicap in their quest for clients. Whether this protest is absolutely sincere may be doubted since it comes from the men, not from the women. Although women have now invaded almost all the professions, it would seem that the process of adjustment so far as the men are concerned is not even yet complete. They are still quick to seize upon a pretext to frame an antidictation, but they can scarcely expect to achieve anything but an opera bouffe success.—Chicago Record-Herald. Why They Nag Their Husbands. English husbands have been complaining in London newspapers of their wives, running to them with household troubles, but they have been less assertive since a courageous young wife replied to them in the following effective fashion: "The reason why women tell their husbands what they don't want to know is because they must tell some one. The wife is locked up in the house all day with stupid and irritating servants and trying children. She has no one to whom she can unburden her mind and with whom she can discuss these little worries, each of which may seem trivial enough, but which, taken together, spell irritation and despair. The man of the family has other interests which serve to distract his mind from business worries. He meets his friends in the course of his business, and I suspect strongly that he discusses the inquiries of office boys and clerks with them. Why should he complain, then, if his wife seeks his advice about the affair which form the greater part of her life?" It seems this young woman has struck the truth squarely on the head. After all, the big things of life are the fruit of little things, and the wise husband will turn a responsive ear to his wife's little worries. Another reason might spring from a desire to give her that companionship which in turn gives the ideal marriage.—New York Press. First All Directory Wedding. London's first out-and-out Directory wedding was that of the Hon. Silby Roche to Nijel Baring. It was held in St. Peter's Church, Eaton Square, and, the bride being Lord Fermoy's daughter, was one of the most fashionable marriage ceremonies of the season. The bride wore a Directory gown of soft satin with a tulle chemisette and a satin train. Her robe was folded sheath fashion about her figure in graceful lines. Her veil of embroidered lace was fastened with diamond brooches. She wore a big diamond pendant and carried a bouquet of orange blossoms with lilies of the valley. Each of the ten bridesmaids was dressed in a Directory gown of pale cream satin with chemisette and sleeves of transparent tucked tulle, finished with a square-cut lattice of satin. Two of the bridesmaids were little girls, Miss Muriel Brenton and Miss Veronica Christie-Miller, the latter youngster three years old. Little Miss Christie-Miller is believed to be the youngest devotee of the Directory gown in the world. In addition to the costumes like those of the grown-ups, the wee bridesmaids wore large Directory bonnets of emerald satin lined in front with white lace, also pearl and gold heart pendant. Lady Fermoy, the bride's mother, was in a Directory gown of saxes blue and wore hat trimmed with blue ostrich plumes. All the women guests also wore Directory dresses—New York Press. Women and Wealth. We are apt to envy the wives of rich men. But the envy ought to be on the other side—and is. The unhappiest, most restless women in this land are the idle wives and daughters of the rich. It is true they have fine houses, carriages and automobiles, fine dresses, magnificent jewels, stately calls upon one another, grand dinners, brilliant reception and all that. But it is all a veneer. It is merely a mahogany finish upon a base of ordinary, common timber. It is not happiness, but only a pretense of it—an extravagant attempt at imitation of it. The great mass of women without wealth, who work in their homes, rear their children themselves, cook the meals, mend the clothing and do the thousand and one unending tasks of the busy housewife need not envy the glistening butterfly of fashion. The happiest women in the world are the hard working ones. Not overtaxed drudges, but the women whose time and minds and hands are ever occupied in making the home happier and life for those about them sweeter. To put a fine dress on a girl accustomed to nothing else since birth is to give no more real enjoyment to her than would be given to a doll by the same process. But the pretty dress bought by a girl with her own earnings means a triumph and a joy as the human heart can know. That dress is a part of the girl herself. It stands for her heart, her brain, her bone, her blood. It makes an epoch in her life. It is the happy culmination of happy usefulness. None who observe even casually can fail to perceive the growing restlessness among the women of the great cities. The enormous increase in divorces is but one symptom. The steadily increasing popularity of apartment houses, where babies may not come, is but one cause. The woman who appreciates her possible influence in the home will never fall to find plenty to do and find joy in doing it. It is from the home she makes that most men—husbands as well as sons—form their ideals of life and fix their aspirations. If she is idle, restless and discontented, the home, instead of being a solid cornerstone of society, becomes a heap of sand that sinks under every weight of trouble and shifts with every tide of passion and caprice. There is one great cure for the restlessness and discontent of women. It is in common sense application of mind and hand and heart to useful work. Some women may be happy, in spite of wealth. But it is possible for any woman to be equally happy without it.—Columbus Citizen. Books to Read. The remark as to Macauley being "a very common sort of bookbuyer, who always bought books to read," which, Sir George Trevelyan tells us, emanated from the late Bernard Quaritch, recalls an anecdote related by Locker-Lampson in "My Confidences." "Redford Emperor of Morocco, a little binding a satisfactory shut properly; it has pointed out this grievous defect, his only remark was, 'Why, bless me, sir, you've been reading it!'"—London Chronicle. TIMELY RECIPE APPLE RICE PUDDING RECIPE. For this simmer some rice, in milk until very tender. Meanwhile peel, core and slice, thinly two pounds of apples. Then stew them in a little water, with brown sugar to taste and a little strained lemon juice, until very tender. When they are sufficiently done mash them up finely with a silver fork. By this time the rice should have absorbed all the milk. Grease a ple dish very slightly, whisk up the rice and apples together. Fill the dish with the mixture. Beat up an egg with rather less than half a pint of milk, sweeten slightly, pour over the rice and apples and cook in a slow oven until the custard is nicely set. This pudding is greatly improved by being thickly sprinkled with macaroni, crumbs before being baked.—Philadelphia Record. PRESERVED GINGER. Scrape the roots of green ginger and lay in cold water twenty minutes. Cook in three waters, changing from the hot to cold each time. When very tender drain and lay in ice water. For the sirup allow a pound and a quarter of sugar for every pound of ginger root and a cupful of water to each pound of sugar. Bring to a boil, skim and continue boiling and skimming until no more scum rises. Wipe the ginger dry and drop in the sirup that has been cooled. Leave twenty-four hours; drain and again heat the sirup. While still blood warm return the ginger and let it stand forty-eight hours. Again drain, heat scalding hot and pour over the root at once. In a week once more boil the sirup and pour again, scalding hot, over the root and cover closely. Ready for use in a fortnight.—Washington Star. PEPPERS AS SALAD. In the last few years peppers are growing in favor both as a vegetable and salads. For the latter it is excellent chopped up to give a flavoring to tomatoes, and mixed in with fresh cabbage, served with French dressing. For more elaborate effects use the green peppers whole, stuffed with chopped sweetbreads, and serve on hearts of lettuce. Wash and cut off the tops of the peppers, carefully remove the seeds and set on the ice to chill. Boll the sweetbreads and season them when still hot with salt, pepper and plenty of butter. If a small piece of onion is put in the water in which they are boiled, the flat taste to which many persons object in using sweetbreads as salad, is removed. When cold cut in dice about a half inch square, and mix thoroughly with a highly seasoned mayonnaise. Fill the peppers with the sweet-breads and put a teaspoonful of mayonnaise on top of each one.—New York Press. Hints For the Housekeeper Saucepans should be as flat and broad as possible, so that no heat may be wasted. Always keep the door into the ice compartment tightly closed to prevent rapid melting. Grape juice, with a little orange in it, as a lunch drink when iced tea is forbidden. Utilize the water that drops from the drain into a pan below to cool cantaloupes and watermelons. If you do not use artificial ice, find out where the dealer gets it, or you may be drinking typhoid all the time. Never set hot dishes directly on the ice; above all, do not put meats or poultry on it without a plat underneath. Do not let the iceman drop the ice into the box of the refrigerator; if it is porcelain lined, it may mean the purchase of a new one. To make your linoleum last longer and have a much improved appearance, give it a good coat of varnish about every two months. If the ice is melting rapidly wrap it in newspaper. If the paper is put around the lump that comes in the morning it will reduce the ice bill. A family which always serves its ready-cooked breakfast cereals crisp, keeps them in the warming oven, where they are always ready for the table. Rubbing brass beds or any brass fittings with olive oil once or twice a month will maintain the new appearance of the same. The off should be put on with a soft flannel cloth and rubbed off almost immediately with cheesecloth. Do not put meat on the ice when placing it in the refrigerator, as the ice will draw the flavor out of the meat if it touches it. Keep it on a platter in the bottom of the refrigerator. Canned fruits should always be opened and turned out of the jars some time before, using an hour or two if possible. This permits the fruit to regain the excluded oxygen and the flavor is thereby greatly imfl俄ed. The Farm Fast Walking Horses the Best. Good trotters are generally fast walkers, and fast walking is an important gait on the farm. There is no use of being two hours doing a piece of work when it can just as well be done in one hour. It is bad economy to have a poor scrub of a horse on a farm that soon tires out, when you can have a game, fast walking horse, that don't know what it is to tire, and that can get over more ground in a day than a scrub can get over in two days. Weekly Witness. give people to understand that you know your business.—Drovers' Journal. Care of Orchards. The farmer must take up spraying and other measures for the care of his orchards to a much greater degree than in the past. Apples, will go much higher in price until this lesson is learned. The abandoned apple trees beside the cellar walls of the house that burned down a generation ago has been yielding a crop for any one Mutton Sheen. Mutton-sheep make a greater gain of flesh than steers, according to experiments made. At the Wisconsin station food required to produce 100 pounds of wether lamb was 364 pounds of corn, 296 pounds of corn silage, 158 pounds of corn fodder and twenty-two pounds of potatoes. To produce 100 pounds of steer required 394 pounds of corn, 181 pounds of bran and 654 pounds of silage. The results showed that silage was also an excellent food for the sheep as well as for the steer. —Epitomist. Nutritious Food. Brood, sows should always have sufficient nutritious food to keep them in good condition. At farrowing time the sow should not be too fat. If she has had plenty of exercise and is in fair condition she will be better prepared to care for her offspring. She should not be fed corn every day of the year. This grain should be given most sparingly just before farrowing, and in its place a ration of two quarts of oats, one quart of soaked corn with one quart of wheat. This will prove an excellent ration.—Epitomist. Fence Repairing Time. It is customary to do all repairing of fences in the spring, but why not repair them in winter, when one can spare the time? The winds of winter may displace a board or rail here and there, but a few hours' labor will repair a mile of fence in the spring when it is put in good order in the fall. New fences may be built in the fall as well as in the spring. In brief, hundreds of dollars may be saved on farms by doing work in the winter that is usually left till spring, and then but half done for want of time.—Weekly Witness. Keeping Seed Potatoes. The ideal method of keeping seed potatoes is claimed to be cold storage. Potatoes thus kept at Ohio station have come out sound and fresh, with no indications of sprouting, and their vitality unimpaired, even so late as the first of June. It is important, however, that the temperature of the cold storage room should not fall below thirty-five degrees, nor should it rise much above forty. When cold storage is not available, sprouting may in some measure be prevented by shovelling the potatoes frequently. —Farmers' Home Journal. Care of Stock. So far as their proper bedding, feeding and ventilation are concerned, it is too important a matter for the thrifty farmer to neglect attending to himself. However trustworthy his assistants, judging by our own experience, it will pay him well at the close of the season to see each evening that his cattle, horses, sheep and hogs are well bedded, fed and wafered. Scarcely less important is the proper ventilation of the buildings in which his stock are wintered. While the entrance of draughts and cold is to be carefully prevented it should be borne in mind that domesticated animals, like man himself, need fresh, whosome air, and, if compelled by ignorance or carelessness to breathe a foul, tainted atmosphere, it is at a serious risk of health and consequent profit. A visit to the barn, stable and pigpen early in the morning will at once warn the observant farmer of a defective ventilation. Weekly Witness. Care of Fruit and Trees. Fruit ripens fast when it is placed in cool, dark ceilers. When fruit is thoroughly ripe on the trees it should not be exposed to sunlight. Get the apples into the boxes or barrels as soon as possible after they are picked. A Pennsylvania man who has a large orchard keeps about twenty-five cats during the summer months. He fills a trough in the centre of the orchard with new milk each morning and pays no further attention to the cats. He says there are no mice, squirrels, rabbits or rats on the farm. If you allow the grass and weeds to grow up around the young trees this summer the rabbits and mice will girdle them next winter, if you don't watch out. A Missouri man complains that he cannot kill sweet clover in his orchard. It is not so hard. Plow the ground and give your orchard clean cultivation two or three seasons, or if you mow the clover frequently during the summer and let it lie on the ground it will die out. Whenever a large limb of any kind is removed from the tree never fall to cover the wound with paint or wax. Pack your finest apples in boxes holding about three-fourths, of a bushel. For $1 you can have a neat stencil made, containing the name of your farm, your own name and address. These on the corner of your boxes. give people to understand that you know your business,—Drovera' Journal. Care of Orchards. The farmer must take up spraying and other measures for the care of his orchards to a much greater degree, than in the past. Apples, will go much higher in price until this lesson is learned. The abandoned apple tree, beside the cellar walls of the house that burned down a generation ago, has been yielding a crop for any one who came along to gather it, but its day is about over. The San Jose scale will probably send out of existence before many years all trees which are not cared for. Thus far the farmers seem exceedingly apathetic in taking up spraying, but the rise of prices and probably the increasing devastation occasioned by the insect, will bring about, before many years, a different attitude on their part. The brown tall moth has been extremely abundant in the season just closed. The warm, dry spring and early summer reduced his losses from climatic causes. The same is doubtless true of the San Jose scale. The wood leopard moth, exceedingly difficult to combat successfully, because of its attack upon the internal part of the tree, seems to be increasing rapidly. It is injuring chiefly the shade trees of the metropolitan district. The elm leaf beetle, widely distributed over the State, has not spread its destruction with any even hand, but has exhibited a degree of local variation which calls for the scrutiny of an entomological expert. The spring of 1903 witnessed a great increase in the abundance of these pests, probably due to the dryness of May and June of that year. The leaves finally became so hard that the beetles could not eat them, and this, followed by a spere winter, resulted in a considerable diminution of the pest. This has been a year of its revival. The new agricultural high schools of the State have an important work before them in impressing upon the farmers of the future the method of meeting these pests. Economic entomology is becoming one of the most practical of all scientific studies. The State will also have to perform an increasing amount of work along these lines.—Boston Transcript.

Glover, Colorado Agricultural College. Crime and the Telephone. Although both on the stage and between the covers of sensational romances the telephone has become an almost indispensable adjunct of plot and counterplot, in real life the telephone as an aid to crime rapidly scars above the petty swindle or the feeble and senseless hoax—National Telephone Journal.

WILLIAM A. PRESSER, 1722 Third Ade. Moline Ill. writes: Third Ave., Moline, Ill., writes: "I have been suffering from catarrh in the head for the past two months and tried innumerable so-called remedies without avail. No one knows how I have suffered, not only from the disease itself, but from mortification when in company of my friends. I have used two bottles of your medicine for a short time only, and it effected a complete medical cure, and what is better yet, the disease, has not returned. "I can most emphatically recommend Pe- Read This Experience. Mr. A. Thompson, Box 65, R. R. 1, Martel, Ohio, writes: "When I began your treatment my eyes were inflamed, nose was stopped up half of the time, and was sore and scabby. I could not rest at night on account of continual hawking and spitting. "I had tried several remedies and was about to give up, but thought I would try Perun."

Persian Justices The revolutionary party in Persia is circulating on postcards and in larger form a picture descriptive of "Persian justice," which shows three bandits hanging by their feet from the city gate of Taurus. The men, almost naked, are shown suspended from an opening in the wall, the ropes binding their feet being fastened to a pillar, next to which a military guard stands at "attention." "For hours," runs the legend under the picture, "these wretches, the robber Ago and his companions, hung, in their badly wounded condition, before death relieved their agony. Thousands of people of all ages and classes looked mournfully upon these victims of Persian justice." Black Cat Turna Steamer Two stories are told by marine men explaining the return of the breacher John Duncan, which reached North Point on its way to Erle, Pa., but then returned to port. A cross-eyed black cat in the fo'castle, says the crew. The waves were too heavy and the promise of a blizzard too great to risk the men's lives, is the announcement of the captain, who accouts the black cat yarn. Anyway, the John Duncan came back. After the gale subsided or the cat disappeared, as you please, the Duncan again started on its trip to the lower lakes. A young woman out in lau, found a wise, good friend in her mother-in-law, jokes notwithstanding. She writes: "It is two years since we began using Postum in our house. I was greatly troubled with my stomach. complexion was blotchy and yellow. After meals I often suffered sharp pains and would have to lie down. My mother often told me it was the coffee I drank at meals. But when I'd quit coffee I'd have a severe headache. "While visiting my mother-in-law I remarked that she always made such good coffee, and asked her to tell me how. She laughed and told me it was easy to make good 'coffee' when you use Postum. "I began to use Postum as soon as I got home, and now we have the same good 'coffee' (Postum) every day, and I have no more trouble. Indigestion is a thing of the past, and my complexion has cleared up beautifully. "My grandmother suffered a great deal with her stomach. Her doctor told her to leave off coffee. She then took tea, but that was just as bad. "She finally was induced to try Postum, which she has used for over a year. She traveled during the winter over the greater part of Iowa, visiting, something she had not been able to do for years. She says she owes her present good health to Postum."

Baltimore.—Cardinal Gibbons delivered a sermon at the Cathedral Sunday morning. There was a large congregation and the choir gave special music. The subject of the Cardinal's discourse was: "Bear Ye One Another's Burdens." His text was from St. Matthew 11:2-10. The Cardinal spoke as follows: John the Baptist is one of the noblest and most striking figures that appear on the pages of the New Testament. As the minister of God he has the courage to rebuke Herod for his incestuous life. The fulfillment of his sacred duty cost him his liberty and his head. What a striking contrast between John in prison and Herod on his throne! John, though immured in a dark dungeon, is cheerful and resigned, because he has the testimony of a good conscience. Herod on his royal seat is gloomy and dejected and eaten up with remorse. Though John is in chains, his soul roams with the freedom of a son of God. Herod, though commanding a kingdom, is a slave to his passions. John utters no word of murmur or complaint from his prison. He does not plead for sympathy or release. He is so entirely forgetful of his own sufferings and wrongs that he is concerned only about his Master's business. He sends two of his disciples to ask our Saviour whether or not he is the true Messiah. John does not need this information for his own sake. He knows that Christ is the promised Redeemer, for, on its previous occasion, when he met our Lord, he exclaimed: "Behold the Lamb of God; behold Him that taketh away the sin of the world!" But he desired that his disciples should learn from the lips of Christ Himself that He was the Redeemer who was sent to save the world. When the disciples asked Christ if He was the true Messiah, what answer did He give? Did He say to them: "Know that I am the Son of God, because I revel in the splendor of imperial majesty, I dwell in palatial mansions, I am surrounded by an immense army, I am attended by a retinue of courtiers, and kings and princes minister unto Me?" He said none of these things. But this is the test and the proof that He gave of His divine mission: "Go." He says, "and relate to John what ye see and hear. The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, the poor have the gospel preached unto them. And blessed is he that shall not be scandalized in Me." Blessed is he who shall recognize My divinity through the frail wall of My humanity. Of all the virtues that shine forth in the life of our divine Saviour there is none so prominent, none so conspicuous, as His compassion for human suffering. This was His characteristic virtue: this was the salient point in His character, if we may apply the term to One who was perfect in every virtue. On every leaf of the Gospel that golden word mercy shines forth, brightening every page, cheering every heart. Our Saviour never exercises His divine power as Moses did, by changing rivers into blood and destroying the first-born of the land. He never imitates Joshua by commanding the sun to stand still in the heavens. He does not, like Ellas, call down lightning from heaven to consume an offending people, though He was entreated to do so by His disciples, to whom He said: "Ye know not what spirit ye are; the Son of Man came not to destroy, but to save." No, but the miracles of Jesus were wrought to lessen the sufferings and lighten the burdens of men. He manifested His power by going about doing good. He gave sight to the blind that they might rejoice in beholding the beauties of creation. He gave speech to the dumb and hearing to the deaf. He gave power of walking to the lame. He gave health to the sick and life to the dead. He dried up the tears of the widow and gave His blessing to children. Above all, He displayed His merciful power by receiving with open arms the repenting sinner, by relieving her soul of the burden of her sins, and saying to her: "Be of good cheer. Go in peace. Thy sins are forgiven." How correctly does the parable of the good Samaritan portray the compassion of Jesus toward those who suffered from bodily diseases; for the good Samaritan is none other than Jesus Himself. A traveler, while going from Jerusalem to Jericho, falls among thieves. They rob him of his money. They strip him of his garments and leave him on the roadside covered with wounds. His countrymen pass by, but pay no heed to the bleeding man. A Samaritan who is of a different country and religion also comes along, and lifts up the wounded man; he pours medicine into his wounds and binds them; places him on a beast of burden, provides for him in an inn, and sends him back to his family. Is not this an epitome of the life of Jesus, whose public career was spent in healing diseases and mitigating physical suffering? Not less marked was the benevolence of Christ toward those who suffered from mental anguish. What a notable example of His mercy to this class afflicted is furnished by the raising to life of the widow's son. She is following to the grave the remains of her only child, the solace of her declining years. Jesus, as if by accident, meets the mournful procession. He sees the desolation of the widow's heart. His omnipotent hand touches the blier, and that same almighty power which, in the beginning, infused a living soul into Adam, calls back the spirit into the lifeless body of the young man and restores him to his mother. We have only three instances recorded in the Gospel of persons being restored to life by our Saviour—Lazarus, the daughter of Jalrus and the son of the widow of Nain. These examples are given as earnests of Christ's merciful power. But many millions are, annually raised by His power from the grave of sin to a life of grace and virtue. How many families are made glad that a cherished member, is brought back to them! How many a mother sheds tears of joy because a "son who was lost is found, and having been dead, is come to life again!" But nothing is more manifest in the Gospel than the sympathy of Jesus for the poor. He wished to stamp with condemnation the spirit of the world, which estimates a man's dignity by his wealth, and his degradation by his poverty. He chose to be born of humble, parentage, in an obscure village, in a wretched stable, Nearly His whole life was spent in a town which was looked on with contempt. The saying was: "Can anything good come out of 'Nazareth?' He led a life of poverty, not from necessity, but from choice. He could say to Himself what could hardly be of a tramp: "The foxes have holes, the birds of the air nests, but the Son of Man hath not whereon to lay His head." He chose His twelve apostles from the humblest walks of life; men without wealth or learning or influence or any of the qualifications regarded as essential for the success of any enterprise. He commanded them to preach the Gospel especially to the poor. He wrought His greatest miracles in their behalf. His choicest promises are made to them: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven." "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me. Wherefore He hath anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He hath sent Me to heal the contrite heart." I have set before you these features of the life of Christ not merely for your admiration, but still more for your edification and example. He is the ideal we are to follow. The closer we resemble the divine model, the nearer we shall approach Christian perfection. We are social beings, we were created to live in society. No man is sufficient unto himself. We are all mutually and reciprocally dependent one on another, just as the organs of our body are sustained by one another. As an injury to one organ involves a shock to the entire human system, so should the community at large feel a practical sympathy for their fellow beings in any grievance by which they may be oppressed. I care not how rich and powerful you are. You might possess the wealth of a multi-millionaire, but what would it profit you if you had no servant to minister to you, no companion to cherish you, no friend to grasp your hand? You would be poor and miserable and blind and naked. What would it benefit a man to own all the coal coal mines of West Virginia and Pennsylvania, if there were no hardy sons of toll to work those mines, to extract the coal from the bowels of the earth and transport it to the various centres of population? I care not how limited may be your resources, or how circumscribed your influence, you have personal mission from God in the Christian commonwealth, and you can exert some good in your day and generation. Society is like the planetary system, which is composed of greater and lesser bodies, held together by reciprocal forces. The moon is the smallest body of our system; and yet what control she sways in the flow and ebb of the ocean tides; how much we would miss her monthly visits, when she sheds over the earth her pale and silvery light; she generously shares with us the effulgence she borrows from the great orb of the day. And so, no matter, how insignificant you may be, you can exert some beneficent power over the tide and flow of human passions, and diffuse a calm and blessed light on those that fall within your environment. The benevolence of Christ was not exercised in promiscuous almsgiving. His benefactions usually consisted in removing diseases from the bodies of men, or in bringing them such timely relief as would enable them to stand on their feet and resume some honest avocations of life. Thus we find Him healing the paralyzed man that he might use his arms to support life, cleansing the leper that he might take his place again in society, and feeding the multitude to enable them to return to their respective homes. But perhaps you will say: Why should I concern myself about other people's affairs? I have my own business to attend to. "Am I my brother's keeper?" These were the words of Cain, the first murderer. What would have become of you and me if Christ the Lord had said, "Am I my brother's keeper?" We would be groping to-day in the darkness of idolatry or infidelity. What would have become of society if the apostles had said, "Are we our brother's keeper?" and if they had returned to their homes and closed their ministry after the death of their Master? We would be deprived to-day of the priceless blessings of Christian civilization. I say you are, you ought to be, your brother's keeper. You cannot, indeed, like the Saviour of the world, give sight to the blind, or hearing to the deaf, or speech to the dumb, or strength to the paralyzed limb. But you can work miracles of grace and mercy by relieving the distress of your suffering brethren. And never do you approach nearer to God than when you alleviate the sorrows of others. Never do you prove yourselves to be the children of your heavenly Father more effectually than when you bring sunshine to hearts that were darkened by the clouds of adversity. Never do you perform a deed more like to the creative act of the Almighty than when you cause the flowers of joy and gladness to bloom in souls that were desolate and barren before. The Great Lesson Fox Learned. I knew Jesus and He was very precious to my soul, but I found something in me that would not keep patient and kind. I did what I could to keep it down, but it was there. I besought Jesus to do something for me, and when I gave Him my will, He came into my heart and cast out all that would not be sweet, all that would not be kind, all that would not be patient and then He shut the door—George Fox.

"I contracted ecstema and suffered intensely for about ten months. At times I thought I would scratch myself to pieces. My face and arms were covered with large red patches, so that I was ashamed to go out. I was advised to go to a doctor who was a specialist in skin diseases, but I received very little relief. I tried every known remedy, with the same results. I thought I would never get better until a friend of mine told me to try the Cuticura Remedies. So I tried them, and after four or five applications of Cuticura Ointment I was relieved of my unbearable itching. I used two sets of the Cuticura Remedies, and I am completely cured.

Immigrant Figures According to a table published in the Federation Review, 6,225 immigrant Jews entered the port of New York in September, 1908. Of these, 2,433 were women, 2,001 men and 1,791 children. Russia contributed 4,607; Austria-Hungary, 1,234; Roumania, 273; England 56; Germany, 29; Turkey, 19; Sweden and Spain, 2 each, and Holland, 3. The record also shows that 1,566 of the immigrants went to homes outside of the metropolis. In the corresponding month last year the number of Jewish immigrants was 3,033 greater. All Forenoon Lost.

To Become Public Property Says Govenor-Elect Brown. In Due Time or "When Things Have Simmered Down Suf. ficiently." Washington, Ga.—The contents of that famous unopened letter, which figured so prominently in the last state campaign, may soon become known to the public, according to reports of statements made by Governor elect Joseph M. Brown at a banquet given in his honor here. During his speech on that occasion some one called upon Mr. Brown to state what were the contents of the letter sent by him to Governor Smith and returned by the latter unopened, Mr. Brown laughed heartily and said that the letter was sealed and addressed to the governor of Georgia in such a condition he felt he had no right to open it, but intimated that the contents of the letter were of such a nature that he would have no objection whatsoever to its publication, which he might give out himself in duo time—"when things have simmered down sufficiently." ENGLISH SCHOOL SYSTEM Subject of an Interesting Card by Professor J. S. Stewart. I have recently returned from a three months' study of European schools and will give the readers of your paper occasional descriptions of what I saw that might be suggestive to us in the south. I will first review a county system as-studied in Cheshire, which may be taken as typical of such systems in England. The county levies a penny or two cents in the pound of assessable values, raising thereby $75,000 in addition to the government grant and local aid in each school area. The government pays its money on condition that certain standards are maintained which are determined by government inspectors. The government does not propose, that its money shall be wasted or that local effort and responsibility shall be stifled, but aids when the county has done its part and its inspectors report that the instruction is well done. Here are two lessons that I wish Georgians could quickly learn. We must insist upon definite local support if the state contributes and we must stop the waste of thousands of dollars because we do not follow up the appropriation with expert inspection. Our present plan is contrary to the experience and practice of all progressive nations. We should insist upon a county tax for education fairly proportioned to that which the county receives from the state. We might begin by requiring a minimum of one mili, which may be increased by the county to a maximum of five mills. The county educational committee is composed of members of the county council, of at least two women, one elementary teacher and one secondary teacher, all of whom are elected by popular vote. The active officers are the director of education and his assistant director, the county architect, the county accountant, the medical officer of health, the principal of the county agricultural school, the managers of the dairy institute, lecturer on sck nursing, instructor in physical drills, the traveling teacher of dairying, and the supervisor of sewing, cooking, laundrying. The general government has its inspector of elementary school, of secondary schools, of evening schools, with one assistant for each. This one county with its two thousand teachers has eight times more expert supervisors than the state of Georgia has for its expenditure of two and one-half million dollars. In addition to the county educational committee each local school has a school committee composed of members of the county committee, of the local authorities, and of persons interested in education. In this way the schools are kept before the people and the best thought of the community is concentrated upon them, while specialists look after the details. Would it not bring our schools closer to the people if the boards were elected by the people, and an advisory board of prominent citizens interested in education might sit at stated times with the official board? Are we not wasting money by not requiring more officers to look after different phases of the work and aid teachers in the instruction of the same? J. S. STEWART, Athens, Ga. EXPECT GOOD PEACH YEAR. Probable That the Quality of This Year's Peaches Will Be Improved. Fort Valley, Ga.—There is every indication for a good fruit crop this year. The buds on certain varieties have swelled some, but not abnormal so, and are yet in a good and safe condition. As the yield last year was unusually large, this season's crop will, no doubt, be much smaller. A bumper crop is generally followed by a small one, but the quality of the short crop is so far superior to the fruit produced during a season of heavy production that much better prices are obtained, and, as a rule, the smaller crop nets more to the grower than the larger one. TO LECTURE ON MILITARY DICIPLINE Series of Talks to Georgia Troops by U. S. Army Officer. Atlanta, Ga. — In order that the members of the national guard of Georgia may be well informed on military law and discipline Major F. L. Palmer, U. S. Army has been detailed to deliver a series of lectures to the troops in the larger cities on this subject. The lectures will be followed later by moot court martials, illustrating the subject on which he is to sneak. THROUGHOUT THE STATE The-seven hundred and fifty-delogates in attendance upon the annual meeting at Atlanta of the Georgia Farmers' Educational and Co-operative union pledged themselves not only to wear clothing made of cotton while engaged in their farming operations, but- pledged themselves to produce this year all the corn, meat and other supplies necessary to carry them through the year. It was decided to consolidate all of the farmers' cotton warehouses in the state under the management of a central organization. Four lecturers will be sent to all sections of the state during the next few months to appeal to farmers generally to raise their supplies and to, wear cotton clothing on their farms. A new south Georgia railroad has been chartered by Secretary of State Phil Cook. Its promoters plan to build a line from Abbeville to Fort Valley, and thence to Montezuma. The company is designated as the "Abbeville and Northwestern Railroad Company." The line is to be seventy-five miles in length, fifty-eight miles of main line and eighteen of branch. The latter will comprise the extension from Fort Valley to Montezuma. The counties of Wilcox, Pulaski, Dooley, Houston and Macon will be passed through. The capital stock is to be $100,000. It is probable that there will be no agricultural college-on-wheels as has been planned by Dr. A. M. Soul, and the professors of the State College of Agriculture for the coming spring. Indications now are that the train will be abandoned for the present year, because of the probable inability of the dean and other attaches of the state agricultural college to accompany it on its rounds. Judge Kilmsey made a sensational charge to the grand jury of Gainesville. He said that if reports were correct there ought to be an investigation of the affairs of the county. "I am told," he said, "that there is not enough money in the treasury of the county to pay the expenses of this court, the tax levy last year made a specific levy for court purposes, if the money has been diverted to use illegally, the matter should be found out and published, if there has been graft in the purchase of the road machinery it ought to be made known, if bridges have been built contrary to the law about advertising for bids, it ought to be unearthed. If what is rumored in this county is true then the officers should be handled-by prosecution." He also touched upon what, in his opinion, constituted disturbing religious worship and spoke of the right of officers to carry concealed weapons. Following closely upon the pledges of President-elect Taft to recognize Georgia as a unit worthy of national consideration in the councils of the republic, the announcement has reached Atlanta from Washington that his committee on arrangements for the inaugural process on March 4 has assigned Georgia fourth place in that conspicuous line so that she may have an opportunity to demonstrate her interest in the government's executive affairs. In addition to this signal honor of Georgia, it is understood that in Augusta, where Mr. Taft is making up his cabinet and other high official appointments, the names of two distinguished Georgians are under serious consideration, those of Colonel Robert J. Lowry of Atlanta, in connection with the national treasury portfolio, and Judge Joseph Lamar of Augusta, in connection with the supreme court bench. The "Living Like Christ" movement which is attracting much attention in Cleveland, Ohio, may be started in Atlanta. Several pastors are considering the idea of suggesting that members of their flocks make an experiment along that line, believing that such would be of great moral benefit to the community. The first skirmish in the battle between the Muscogee County Medical Society and certain of Columbus druggists resulted in a victory for the drug store folks in Muscogee superior court when Shepherd Brinson, a prominent young pharmacist, charged with practicing medicine without a license, was found not guilty by the jury. Two other cases of a similar character were continued until the next term of court. Mrs. Hoke Smith, wife of the governor, is seriously ill at the executive mansion in Atlanta, and her condition has aroused considerable uneasiness on the part of the family and friends. Mrs. Smith's health has not been good for several months, and it was the purpose of the governor to take her to Florida for a rest, but unless her condition improves it will be necessary to postpone the trip. Under the guard of a squad of patrolmen, the cash, bonds and securities, making a total of probably more than six millions of dollars, of the Citizens' and Southern bank of Savannah were moved into its new home in that city. Macon members of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have forged a petition to President Theodore Roosevelt asking him not to kill any animals on his African hunt. The announced intention of the president to bag big game has brought forth a protest from the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and by its direction blanks have been sent to each local organization, to be filled out by school teachers and others. President Hugh V. Washington is in receipt of these blanks and a strong protest will go up from the Macon branch. The work of grading on the northern extension of the Georgia, Florida and Alabama railroad, from Cuthbert to Klimbrough, on the Seaborad Air Line railroad, by the four or five camps, is progressing, and these graders hope to have everything ready for track laying, within the next sixty or ninety days. The work on this northern extension has brought an extraordinary good feeling over Cuthbert, and her prospects seem brighter than ever in all her history. Among the Masons. Masonry stands for the betterment of mankind. A lodge of Masons should be an uplifting factor in every community. "Wherever Masonry flourishes, there will be found the greatest measure of liberty, jjustice and love."—Charles Walduck. How many Masons who have passed several gradations and traced Nature through her various windings, still need the solemn admotion: "Endeavor to be what you desire to appear." There is little question but that every member of this fraternity wishes to be what he appears—an upright man rejoicing in the prosperity of others, sympathizing with them in their sorrows and adversities—a very pillar of wisdom and love to lean on. When one has lived up to and maintained this high standard of Masonry—being what he appears to be, at all times and all places — what a shock it sends through the whole body politic for such a one to hear the dread summons to lay down the Working Tools of life, at the most unexpected moment in the heyday of his prosperity, his hopes and ambitions. His virtues may be engraved upon the heart, his name upon perpetual record, but his absence leaves a void which no other can fill—The Corner Stone. Masonry makes no ostentatious display, nor signifies its presence with blare of bugle. We recognize that Masonry is but the practical application of sublime truths; it is the epitome of virtue in theory, and the exercise of virtue in practice. Principles are eternal; man is nothing; he may forsake truth and abandon the practice of virtue, yet the fundamental basis of morality is not disturbed. Masonry lives and will continue to flourish though Masons may prove false to their trust—W. F. Cleveland, P. G. M., Iowa, A Masonic Pin Ought to Mean Something After one of his famous battles; Napoleon Bonaparte gave to each of his soldiers a medal bearing the words, "I was there." This badge of honor was highly prized by the owner because it meant valiant service in the cause of the commander. Today there are hundreds of men wearing Masonic pins simply to herald to the world the fact, "I was there." But the real question is, do these badges stand for service in the cause of Masonry? What has the wearer done to advance the cause of the fraternity and to be of service to his fellow man? A Masonic pin in the coat lapel ought to mean something. It is a splendid thing to be a member of the great fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons, but how much greater is it when he who wears the Mason's badge has seen service?—The Illinois Freemason. Duties of Masons. There should be a better defined idea of the duties of Masons relative to visiting the sick and burying the dead. In the country, as a rule, these duties are performed punctually and conscientiously. But in the cities, where life is a rush and hurly-burly, Masons are liable to forget these sacred duties. There is to us no sadder sight than a Masonic funeral attended only by a handful of brethren. Especially is this the case when the deceased is a poor or obscure man. The rich and the powerful are always followed by large numbers. To visit the sick and bury the dead are among the most binding and important of obligations. No matter how poor, no matter how humble the brother may be, it should be considered a sacred duty to minister to his wants when sick or in distress, and to follow his remains to their last resting place. We do not think any Mason neglects these duties willfully. But "evil is wrought by want of thought as well as by want of heart." Let Masters call the attention of the brethren to these and other duties, and impress upon them their importance. An appeal to true Masonic hearts is never made in vain Brethren, let us convince the world that our deeds square with our professions, and that in sickness, in sorrow and in death, Masonic obligations are strong and all powerful, and that brotherly love does indeed dwell in our hearts. Smith's for February. Juliet Wilbor Tompkins has contributed to the current number of Smith's o complete novel, entitled "Apples and Flags." It is a story of business and the problems of marriage which loom so large in the horizons of a great many women of today. It is sure to attract unusual attention. In the same number of this magazine is a collection of short stories worthy of attention anywhere. Anne O'Hagan's short story, "Miss Kellogg, Journalist," is a tale of love and business in New York that no girl can afford to miss. "Mr. Philipp's 'Shef Doover,'" by Holman F. Day, is a funny story, with a laugh in every line. "The Substitute Bridesmaid," by Gertrude Pahlow, is a charming comedy with a delightful love story woven in between the laughs; "Molly," by Izola L. Forrester, is another-love story worth reading, and "Monsieur le Cure," by F. Berkeley Smith, is a gem in its way. FOR BOYS AND GIRLS Mother sent me up to bed; I was naughty, so she said, how I told the company- That I no sea- Told them how the ship bells rang, Told them how the great sails sang: It was just a life, I know, 'Cause I only dreamed it so, Yet right then it seemed to me Just as real as real could be! Just as real as day? If I saw a thing by day. -Marton Goodwin Eaton in Hampton's Broadway Magazine. An Unkissed Baby. There is in England a 9-months-old boy who has never been kissed, says the London Mall. His parents have set up the following rules in a conspicuous place, near the entrance to their home: "Don't kiss the baby. "Don't handle baby unless your hands are very, very clean. "Don't bring baby's face close to your own or to your hair. "Don't allow baby to touch your face or hair. "Don't talk, breathe, whistle, blow, cough or sneeze into baby's face. We want him to live. "Don't use your handkerchief to baby's hands, face or mouth." At the foot of the rules is written: "To some these rules will appear comical or stupid, but they are not written as a joke or without thought. Therefore, any person found infringing these rules after having read them will incur our displeasure extremely." —Philadelphia Record. Rats and Sparrows Fight. It happened in this way, according to veracious witnesses—not a nature fakir among 'em—who watched from the platform of the Erie Railroad station at Montclair: Nine cock sparrows were feasting on oats dropped from a Jerseyman's sack, when an old gray rat ran out, growled like a dog in a manger, and got busy on the oats. The sparrows after a brief chatter of war, attacked the rat. Two climbed on his back, while others charged front and flank. The rat squealed as he was bayoneted by sharp bills, and fought back. He had killed two of the sparrows when his cries brought another rat. The two rats and the seven survivin gsparrows were having it hot and heavy, when Ted, the station rooster, came up with a rattle like heavy art illery. He struck one rat and laid him cold. Rat No. 2 fought long enough to kill two sparrows and retreated; Ted ate up what oats remained. Casualties: Four dead sparrows, one dead rat. And there you are. —New York World. Sky That Went Along. Death has taken the father, and the mother with her little boys was leaving the old home. They had walked along and weary way. The dear, familiar sights had long been left behind, and they were amid new and strange surroundings. Suddenly the boy looked up and apted that the sky was the same—the same lovely sky, the same fiecy clouds. "Mamma," he exclaimed, "the sky goes along with us!" Happy little philosopher! Certainly, in life's journey we are leaving familiar scenes and associations behind us. Well for us that God's over-arching sky, with its blue canopy by day and starlit dome by night, goes along with us. And there is so much of it! There was another boy, born in the slums of a great city, his home a dark room in a tenement house in a narrow alley. It was not his to know the green fields, the daisies in the meadow, the cool brooks, or the whispering trees. Even the sky was to him a tiny patch seen through the encroaching fronts of rickety houses in a dingy street. One boy found himself in "God's out-of-doors." With shining face and wide-open eyes he cried out: "Why, how much sky there is!" Yes, there is a great deal of sky for those who look up—Jesse S. Gilbert, in the Bee Hive. Edison's Boyhood. "I was always a careless boy," says Thomas Edison, in his biography, "and with a mother of different mental calibre I should probably have turned out badly. But her firmness, her sweetness, her goodness were potent powers to keep me in the right path. I remember I used never to be able to get along at school. I don't know now what it was, but I was always at the foot of the class. I used to feel that the teachers never used to sympathize with me, and that my father thought I was stupid, and at last I almost decided that I must really be a dunce. My mother was always kind, always sympathetic, and she never misunderstood or mlsjudged me. But I was afraid to tell her all my difficulties at school, for fear she, too, might lose her confidence in me. "One day I overheard the teacher tell the inspector that I was 'addled', and it would not be worth while keeping me in school any longer. I was so hurt by this last straw that I burst out crying and went home and told my mother about it. Then I found out what a good thing a good mother was. She came out as my strong defender. "Mother-love was aroused; mother-pride wounded to the quick. She brought me back to the school and grilly told the teacher that he didn't know what he was talking about. In fact, she was the most enthusiastic champion a boy ever had, and I determined right then that I would be worthy of her and show her that her confidence was not misplaced. "My mother was the making of me. She was so true, so sure of me; and I felt that I had someone to live for, someone I must not disappoint. The memory of her will always be a blessing to me."—Today's Magazine. What Happened When Gertrude Woke Up. The words came to Gertrude Hayden one day when she was, apparently, absorbed in an interesting book. There was, however, nothing in the book to call forth any heroic resolutions. It was only an unconscious sigh on her mother's part that arrested her attention. She was sitting on one side of the room in an easy chair, her feet resting comfortably on a hassock. Her mother, on the opposite side, was seated on a low rocker, bending over a pile of mending. Her face was pale and worn, and, as Gertrude glanced at it in response to the unconscious sigh, its weariness touched her. Her mother seemed to be as intent over her work as Gertrude had been in her book. "Poor mother!" the latter said to herself, "she looks worn to death. I don't see why I haven't noticed it before. I wonder what the 'matter is.'" She closed her book and got up. Approaching the bending figure, she sat down on a small chair beside it. Mrs. Hayden, looking up, smiled. "You don't have to mend all those socks, do you, mumsie?" she asked, pointing to a pile on a nearby chair. "Yes," was the answer. There was a pile of underwear on the table. Gertrude, glancing at it, said: "You don't have to mend all that underwear, too, do you?" "Certainly." "Not today?" questioningly. "It wouldn't do to leave today's work until tomorrow, you know." "Why not?" asked Gertrude. "You look tired out, mumsle." "I am a little tired," admitted Mrs. Hayden. "But if I leave today's work until tomorrow just because I tired, what would be done with tomorrow's work? "Mumsle," said Gertrude, jumping up hastily, "where can I find one of your big white aprons?" "In the bottom drawer of my bureau," was the answer. Presently Gertrude was back, a big white apron reaching to the hem of her dress tied around her waist. "Now, mumsle," she said, smilingly, "what shall I attack first?" "Are you in earnest?" "Of course, I'm in earnest. I feel as if I'd awakened from a long sleep. And mumgle, I really am awake. Shall I help mend the socks first?" "Yes, if you'd like to." "If I'd like to," Gertrude repeated, laughingly. "I think, probably, I'd like to just as well as you do. I can't say that I consider mending the most delightful work in the world, and I hardly think you do. But I'm going to help you mend from this time henceforth." Mrs. Hayden's face brightened. It seemed good to her to have a helper and that helper her own daughter. Presently mother and daughter were mending side by side. An hour slipped quickly by. The socks were all darned and they were mending the underwear. Until the present time, Gertrude never realized how many stitches a half dozen boys required, for the larger part of the socks and underwear belonged to her six brothers. Another hour passed, and the week's mending was done. While they were working Gertrude told stories of her college days, gay—many of them—all of more or less interest to her mother, Mrs. Hayden looked at the clock. "Why, it's, only half-past three!" she exclaimed in glad surprise. See what it is to have such an industrious helper? There was an expression in her face when she spoke that went straight to Gertrude's heart. She reached for her mother's hand and carried it straight to her lips. That day was to the hitherto overburdened mother the beginning of easier and happier days. As for Gertrude, it was the blossoming time of her young life into usefulness. The unconscious sigh of her mother had aroused her. Somehow until then she had accepted her pleasant home, her devoted mother and her apparent freedom to do just as she liked all day long as her birthright. Two years have elapsed since Gertrude Hayden resolved to "make it easy for mumsie," as she called her mother. She has kept her word. Her mother calls her lovingly her "good right hand," and her father and six brothers think that there is no one in the whole world to be compared to "our sls."—Christian Intelligencer. The Cynic. A bachelor, who is known among his friends and their children as being always in the happiest spirits, singing gaily and whistling the newest songs, recently took unto himself a wife. Hearing the news the eight-year-old daughter of the house to which he goes frequently, asked her mother doubtfully:— "Won't Mr. Smith sing or whistle any more, mother?" "Why, of course," said the parent, wondering. "Why?" "Because married people don't seem to sing much," quothe cynic, sadly—New York Telegram. If I was a squirrel I'd have nothin' much to do.

Bold Criminals in Oklahoma Defy Authorities to Arrest Them: Pushmata county is not only one of the largest in the state but it contains more inaccessible mountain fastnesses and possibly more outlaws hiding in the mountains than any other county in the state. Within the last six months the depredations of the outlaws have become of a most exasperating nature and the officers of that and surrounding counties seem unable to break up the outlaw haunts. Posse after posse has gone into the Klamachi, the Winding Stair and the Jack Fork mountains to try to drive out the horse thieves and robbers known to rendezvous there, but the officers seldom succeed in finding them. In fact the outlaws have become so bold and self-confident that they send taunting and defiant letters to the officers, and a favorite custom is to get a posse on the chase and then steal horses and rob stores and post offices right in the path of the pursuers. Smithville, in McCurtin county, seems to be close to the outlaw headquarters, and it is said the outlaws have even written the officers where their headquarters are in both counties and dared them to try to come in and make arrests. The character of the country and the desperate outlaws make outlaw chasing a very dangerous business in that particular section of the state.-Muskogee correspondence Kansas City Star Reassuring Him. On a certain occasion a speaker was annoyed by the loud and frequent interruption of an opposition voter, who seemed bent on making trouble. "My friend," said the speaker, determining to suppress the disturber, "haven't you heard the story of how a braying ass put to flight the entire Syrian army?" "Don't you be afraid of this audience!" shouted back the disturber of the meeting. "There ain't no danger of it stampeding. You've tested it!"—Tit-Bits. Different. - "Yes," said the landlady, "a man must be proud that has risen from nothing." "That's so," replied the star boarder, looking souly at the table, "but no man lends to sit-down to it."
