Sul ly—“Dan” Sully, one of the biggest dulls, certainly the most spectacular “bull” in the wonderful and, varie: gated history of cotton. ‘Mr. Sully is in Atlanta for a visit. Introducing “Dan” Sully to the aver age reader would be to perpetrate a superfiuty. His was the initiating genius and the engineering skill aud concentration that, several years ago, Yak cotton to 17 cents a pound, the top-notch price since the clvil ‘war. Absolute King of the cotton matket during that memorable and fevered ‘campaign, he kept a cool and sensi- tive finger on the pulse of the great- est industry in America. “The southern cotton farmer,” said Mr. Sully, “must first wake up his mind to the naked fact that Prov dence has gifted him with the great- est monopoly in history. ‘ “The nations might dispense with every other American product; de- prive them of cotton, and you would precipitate world-wide panic and star- vation, “It is the soul of industry, life 1t- self, over the entire globe. Once the man who produces it gets this idea firmly fixed in his mind, he must sec that he is at present almost wholly at the merey of the intermediaries in marketing his output and securing an adequate and legitimate return for his labor. He must next realize with sufficlent vividness to give mo- tive-power to his energy, that the emancipating force must come from within himself. Organfzed endeavor and cooperation are imperative, tc the last analysis, to the striking of the shackles from the farmer. I am confident both will be forthcoming. “I do not regard foreign competi- tlon-in the raising of cotton seriously.

C.—What is dests nated as “a joker” that cost the con, sumers of tobacco in this country nearly $45,000,000, was found in the existing revenue laws of the United States by Representative Dawson ot Jowa, who at once Introduced a bill ‘to correct the error. ‘Under the Dingley tariff law, the two-ounce packages of tobacco sell to the consumer at 5 cents each, and the fouf-ounce packages at 10 cents. In 1898, a war revenue of 6 cents a pound addtional was levied on tobac- co, At the same time, in order to sserve tho convenlence of the trade, ‘quthorization was given for the re- duction of the sizes of packages from 2, 3 and 4 ounces to 1 23,2 1-2 antl 3'1-3 ounces, thus enabling the smok- et to procure a S-cent and a 10-cent package of tobacco “‘at the store.” In due time the war revenue tax was repealed. Somebody forgot, Mr. ‘Dawson believes, to restore the pack- ‘ages of tobacco to the original sizes, and hence ever since 1902 the con- sumer of tobacco has been paying the vequivalent of the war revenue tax to ‘the manufacturers of tobacco. ~ Representative Dawson figures out sthat: the purchaser of each small tpackage has been mulcted out of a jeent, and the purchaser of the larger fot 3 cents, and hence the “Joker” jhas. cost the consumer almost $45,- 1000,000. . DOUBLE DEALING GHARGED, “President Nash Replies to Senato ‘Talladerre ef Clesids. Savannah, Ga—E. S. Nash, presi. {aca of the American Naval’ Stores mpany, has written an open letter Senator Taliaferro’ of Florida, in wer to the statesman's speech on [the floor of the senate recently at- king Mr. Nash’s- company. * He accuses the senator of having celved large dividends from the tlantic Investment Company, a con- cern which was declared to de in re. fxtraint of trade, and gives pletures of e checks used in paying these div. lends. It is charged that the sena- r remained in the company until he as made to withdraw involuntarily. FOLK~PREDICTS WAR, Says Continent of North America Will - Become One Republic. Asheville, N, C.—That the whole of the North American continent will eventually become one great republic, under the government of what is now the United States, was the prediction made by former Governor Joseph W. Yolk of Missouri in an interview in Asheville, Governor Folk declared that a clash betwéen the United States and Canada {is Inevitable, and that {t will come in the not distant future Is his belief, The great in- flux of Americans {nto the grain fiejd and the region of southwést Canada, each carrying with him his natural allegiance to the United States, is the leaven which, he thinks, eventually must cause the clash between the United States and her sister country on the north, HILITARY PRISON DESTROYED = y By Fire; Convicts at Fort Leaven: worth Were in Terror. Leavenworth, Kan—The ‘military prison at Fort Leavenworth was de stroyed by fire. ‘The prisoners were removed from the cell houses under a heavy guard of United States troops and confined in a stockade. The fire broke out in the tailor shop, and soon it was seen that the ma's building was doomed. A, great outcry at once broke out'in the pris- ‘on, the convicts fearing that they would be burned to death. They bat- tered on the doors of their cells as the light of the fire streamed through the windows. Many screamed in ter- ror as the aathorities for the moment refused to remove them, ‘A strong cordon of troops was thrown about the prison and every precaution was taken to prevent ‘es- capes, All the soldiers that could be spared from the ranks of the fire hghters were detailed as guards, and then the delivery of the prisoners was, begun, When the bolts of the cell house doors were shot back the flames had reached the main building. If every- thing had not been done in_pertect order lives doubtless would have been lost. - ‘The prison buflding was valued at $200,000. TO DESTROY AIR-WAR FLEETs, Lewis Nixon Has Invented Shots _ _Flame That Strike. New York Ulty—"The aerial war fleet of which we hear so much, the- oretrically, {8 doomed before it has had a real start,” sald Lewis Nixon, Inventor and shipbuilder, speaking lof his new sharpnel shell, intended to destroy objects from one thousand and five thousand! feet up in the alr. The new destroyer fs an old six- pounder, throwing three or five-inch shells, with a new filling. Besides the usual quantity of bullets, it con- tains sem{liquid matter, the conffost- tion’ of which is Nixon's jeaioussy guarded secret. “Airship and aeroplane _ builders smiled when German and French gun- makers threatened to bring down their craft by bullets shot from guns vertically almed,” continued Mr. Nix- on, “Perhaps they had a right to smile at the imperfect destroying ma- chineS invented in Europe, but they won't Taugh when they hear of my invention. “The shell,” he explained, “‘con- tains, Besides the bullets and motor power, glutinous matter, adhering to the bullets and bursting into flames the moment the dullets strike. When the discharge comes into contact ‘with a balloon a sticky fire Is thrown over it and all inflammable parts, par- ticularly the envelope, will Instantly ignite.” ; THE WEEVIL INVASION. - Pest Reported Rapidly Migrating North. Jackson, Miss.—An insect believed to be the Mexican boll weevil bas been found in Winston county, ac- cordding to reports from Loulsville, the county seat. Agricultural experts here seriously douvt whether the Insects found arg the genuine weevil, however, regard! ing It as very improbable that the pest could have reached that far northward in its migrations. Specimens, it is stated, have been sent to the Mississippi agricultural experiment station and the verdict from Starkville is being anxiously awaited. ~~ It is yet too early for the boll wee- ‘vil to reach maturity In large num- bers and weather conditions have been very much against thetr propa- gation, 5 ‘The boll weevil experts of the United States department of agricul- ture, bureau of plant industry, figure that the weevil will not reach Win- ston county until the summer of 1910, unless its migration is very greatly accelerated during the present year. Elkins to Help South. Washintgon, D, C:—Declaring that the “interests of the south are being crucified" by the manner fn which, the tariff,bill is being framed, Sena- tor Efkins, republican, of West Vir- ginla, surprised the senate by assert- ing that he is of the south, and in- tends to stand by senators from that section: in protecting its interests.

"Ciaaed Owners and proprietors of movini picture shows In Pittsburg, Pa., an in Sharon have been ordered not t produce pictures showing the kid: napping of Willie Whitla, under a penalty of forfeiture of films’ and l- censes. Under the direct supervision of Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt, two .ex bert weavers are instructing the women employed on the Vanderbilt estate at Biltmose, N. C., in the va- ricus forms of weaving. The two experts were brought from Neow York at Mrs. Vanderbilt’s expense, and there are fifty women in tho class at the present, time. So far the chief work of the Biltmore weavers is the manufacture of white and blue counterpanes of old-fashigied design.

Tobacconists esti- mate that each pound of snuff is good for two thousand six hundred and six- teen sneezes, and that on every trip the Briggs will have between her decks fore than one billion sneezes, At a meeting of the Pastor's union, of Jackson, Miss., a resolution was adopted declaring that hereafter tho pastors belonging to the union, which includes practically all of, this city, will not officiate at the marriage of any couple where one or both of the parties have been divorced, no matter ‘what grounds for the divorce may fhave been. The pastors state that they have been too Ilberal on this point heretofore, but that in Bef ture they will. adhere strictly to the terms of the declardtion contained in the resolution. Some interesting facts concerning wireless telegraphy were brought out in the balance sheet of the Marconi company of America as of January 31, 1909, The secretary says: “Receipts for short distance; that is, shore to ship, within a radius of three hun- dred miles show an increaso of about $5,000 in gross, but on the other hand receipts for long distance transmis- sion have fallen of considerably, partly because some of the steamship Hines could not, under the depressing circumstances, ‘afford the luxury of daily news to thelr passengers and partly because our long distance re- celpta depend to a great extent on the traveling public.” .

President ‘Tatt has the matter under — consideration, Frost is at the head of a movement to raise $400,000 for a negra school to be established in Kentucky and which now lacks only $16,000.

He liked the name. No, not ‘Knox, but his first name, ‘Philan- der’ "Look it up. It means a South American 'possum.” ‘The colonel was wight again. It has deen estimated that the ‘amount of wood annually’ consumed in the United States at.the pregent time 1s 23,000,000,000 cubic feet, while the growth of the forest is only 7, 000,000,000 feet. In other words, Americans all over the country aré using more than three, times as much wood as the forests are producing. ‘The. figures are based upon a large number of state and local reports collected by the government and upon actual measurements.

He buys what he needs in a protected market; he sells his crop in competition with all the world. He fights at both ends of the line, whereas the manufacturer is protected in making both purchases and sale. 2 It is understood that the above overtures Were made to Represenia- tive Broussard of Loulstana, who is a protectloh democrat. ‘They ‘are being discussed by the democratic members. It remains to be seen whether they are williag to accept the proposal. ;, Senator ‘Simmons of North Caro- line stated that every senator from the southeast, except one, would vote for the old duty on lumber, There is no question but that the republicans are uneasy and apprehen. sive. ‘The treasury deficit has reached $89,000,000.

Oklahoma City, Okla.—In a pitched battle at Hickory Ground between a posse of five officers and twenty Creek Indians of the Snake clan, Officers Ed ward Daum of Checotah and~Herman Odom of Checotah were killed, and Frank Swift of Muskogee fatally wounded. ‘The posse of officers went to the home of Chitti Harjo, chief of the Sno clan of the Creek Indlans, to Serve a warrant on him. ‘The officers, having heard that the Indians and negroes were peaceable, approached the cabin “of Harjo, near Hickory Ground, without {ear of any trouble.

London, England.—Professor Karl Pearson, ‘In a lecture at the Royal Institutton, made the startling sug Gestion that {t was scientifically pos sible that existing white ‘races are descended from a dark-sk{nned peo- ple of the negro type. He was lecturing on “Albdinism in Man,” and in one of his demonstra- tons he showed on a screen a number ot “plebald cases.” In one instance he showed the painted cast of a pied baby, the head and upper part of which was black, and the rest of the body white. Certain negroes, ‘continued the lec- turer, had gradually turned white in places, ‘This was what was known as Jeucoderma. In such cases there was no pain whatever. The ordinary view oft the medical profession was that it was a disease acquired during lite; but he doubted thut view, Not only, he argued, was the pie- bald condition inherited, but cases of “going white” were also inherited. In many Instances, the father, chil- dren and grandchildren turned ‘white. Among the curlous representations thrown on the screen was that of a mother, son and daughter, all with a white patch on their heads. A few years ago, ‘continued Professor Pear- son, there were three sister on the music hall stage. They were. known as “The Three Striped Graces,” and each of them had a white patch on her head. They used to perform ac- robatic feats. Often, added the professor, as the white came as a variation on the dark skin, he could find no case of a copper ‘or black child being born to white parents. He showed on the screen one white after another born to the negro ‘face. One case was & negress, with a perfectly white child; another was a case of a black mother with a white paby. A third case was that of a white Zulu.

CHARGES NAT SUSTAINED. No Low Grade Cotton Shipped to New York. Washington, D. C.—Declaring that there appears "to have- been no sub- stantial basis for the allegations made. by officials of the Farmers’ Union Cotton Company of Memphis, Tenn. regarding the shipment from the south of low grade cotton to New York, to depress the market, Victor H, Olmstead, chfet of the burcau of statistics of the department of agri- culture, In a report to Secretary Wil- son, recommended that the whole matter be dropped. Recently B. G. West of Memphis, general manager of the Fararers“Um fon Company, wrote Secretary Wilson that he understood a lot of cotton was “headed” for New York, and the Inference was that it was “dark blue and black, low grades, to be used in depressing the market.” Letters of similar import also were received from officials of the Farmers’ Union Commpany at} different points in the south, The secretary ordered a, thorough investigation of the allogatibns to be made by six special ‘agents of the bu- Teau of statistics In the. south, They reported that they were uhable to se- cure any tangible evidence ta:support of the charges. ayy 2 ARHIES AND NAVIES BANKRUPT EUROEE So Foreign Secretary Gray fells i Seerotary Grey, “fells ts: raneae retteel to express feck ot commons refused to express lack of confidence in the government’s naval policy. ‘The motion on. which the notable debate hinged was proposed by Arthur Hamilton Lee, conservative member of the hoilse from Hants., It sets forth “that, in the opinion of this house, the declared policy of bis maj- esty’s government respecting the. {m- mediate provision for battleships of the newest type does not sufficient se- cure the safety of the empire”, ‘The debate was- one of the” most momentous the house has Nstened to for years. A. J. Balfour and Mr. Lee accused the cabinet of incompetency, and demanded that efght Drexd- noughts be laid down immediately. Secretary Grey's speech was by far the most notable contribution to the debate, because of its remarkable can dor. He dwelt on the diplomatic ds- pects of the BritishGerman rivalry and the hopelessness of expecting any cessation of the race for armaments, and he predicted eventual European “bankruptcy if it continued, TRAINED NURSE DEAD.

All eloquence through oration, or psilm or song, means a full heart, - Means emotion surging through the soul with all the majesty of a sum- mer’s storm. In his hour of vision and of hope, therefore, Tennyson’s spirit rose to unwonted heights. Then che wrote his poem of immortality, and expressed the deepest thing with- in him when he sald: “I hope to meet my pilot face to face when I have, crossed the bar.” Man's Greatest Hope, It fs the glory of Christ that He wrought man’s “most joyful Sun- - day”—Easter—out of earth's black- | est event—dying and death. Jesus found death altogether terrible. For ‘His generation the grave was horror, ‘blackness and the uttermost of an- guish. Death flung a black shadow over the sun itself. Death sent an seclipse over every joy. But if He found death a black cloud He left it a golden gateway,-behind which rose the battlements of eternal sunshine in the City of God. He found death standing for a dirge—He left it a pacan of hope arid victory. He found death's one color, black; He left the grave covered with Easter Illes that ‘Were white and gold. He'found men dying toward the worm and the rot- iting leaf; He left the soul in death sailing away midst a perfumed sum- mer sea, calling back, “I stil! live!’” to those who stood on the earthly , Bhores and sfgnalled midst their tears that. soon they would follow after. ‘What men had hoped, Jesus turned to light and certainty. He taught men that God's latest and. best gift “was the gift of death and dying. ‘ Therefore, these disciples braved the stones, the scourge, the stocks, the martyr's chariot of fire, because dy- ing meant home-going, and death ushered men into the Father's house. The old Roman views of the sepul- chre dripping with horrors and em- blems nained the skull and the cross- bones, differ from the beauty of Christ's hope—the many mansions, the eternal youth and beauty and the Father's house—as frozen clods qif- fer from the purple clusters of sum- mer, as white snowflakes are anlike red roses In June, as the arctics are separated from the warmth and fer- tility of the tropics.

Easter is the Emancipation Annt- yersary of the Christian world—the one day of all the year, next to ‘the Advent, that 1s the most” glorious and worthy of signal zemembrance, It brings with it a new Inspiratiot of falth in God and of pertect assurance in His love for the children of men. -Every swelling bud and sprouting Teaf, reminds us that the Ife .wh{ch conquers death in nature's realm has its parallel in the Resurrection— that great central fact of- Christfan- Ity—m which we have the assurance of our own spiritual revfvification. Christ In us becomes the vitallzing force which lifts us from the dark- ness of sin and death unto ght and Ufe everlasting. ‘ : ‘This old world of ours needs more Easter cheer. It needs to realize that the risen Christ and the empty tomb have for the whble race a grander and higher significance than any, oth- er event since time began, It needs to feel that the defeat of King Death and the triumph of King Jesus over the grave, have thrown open’ the gates of life and happiness to all who will enter therein, It needs to grasp the imperishable truth that, when the Son of God burst the bars of death and the grave, He revealed the way of life eternal to all who accept Him and follow in His footsteps. His res- urrection was the divine pledge of our own, and the soul that rests upon Him has already risen from the dead- ness of sin and begun~the lite ever- lasting. For such, the grave fe not an abiding place, but the vestibule of the greater and nobler life beyond. Therefore, at this joyous Easter time, when all nature ts rejoicing, let our own hearts join in the songs of praise and gladness. Around us, we see the Woods adorning themsclves with living green, and the air Iz reso- nant with the song of birds, Over all the earth, wherever the name of Jesus is known, It is the glad emancipation time: “ Tis the festital of all creation: 7 Christ hath risen, who gave creation birth.

The meeting at which Dr. Manning was elected for one of the most Important church posts In America, lasted only twelve minutes, Dr. Manning having no rival in the field. The unique ceremony of “de- llvering the keys” to Dr. Manning was Identical with that used at the induction of the first rector pf Trin- ity, Dr. Ford Compton, in 1696, and has been adhered to ever since. Ves- trymen and members of the congre- gation marched in procession through the churchyard to the main door of thé church. ‘The'door was locked and the key left In {t. “The senior warden, in appropriate speech, presented Dr. Manning with the key. The new rec- tor then turned the key, opened the door and led the way up the alsle through the darkened church to the altar, Where a prayer was offered to conclude the ceremony. Dr. Manning was also vicar of St. Agnes’ Chapel, in Trinity parish. He Was born in England forty years ago. He was graduated from the Univer- sity of the South, at-Sewanee, Tenn., and holds degrees from other South- ern colleges. Ordained In 1891, he was appointed rector of Trinity Church at Redlands,, Cal., in;1892, of St. John’s Church at Landsdowne, Tenn., in 1896, and of Christ Chureh, Nashville, in 1898, which post he held, till called to New York to join the Trinity forces.—From the Christian Herald. , ‘The Trath, “See here.

Ifthe articles or the intent of them, fail- ed of effect here, Iam glad to be apprised that the effect was felt elsewhere in the state. But to offset whaterer good that has been done, here or elsewhere. there are rumors here, (and I guess they are elsewhere, also) which are highly detrimental to both the practitionets and the people. They breed distrust as against the very sources whence they are said toeminate. * T was standing near a drug store conducted by a white man, and saw a member of my race taking prescriptions for her sick father there to be filled. Another indi- vidual of far more pretentions than Ican boast of, was standing by me. He asked, “‘why you_ take all of your business to this store?” She replied, “Dr. Richard Roe, our:family physiciad ordered me todo it.” He said that all of his work goes to Dr. John Doe’s drug store, because ha is competent to fill a prescription correctly and properly. Then I remarked, that it is just that kind of talk that brings about the questonsblaness of Negro business and professional mer. And such expressions give birth to the statements which arc going the rounds of the city. I cannot understand how a doctor can get around being thought in- competent if he states that the Negro pharmacists are incompetent because, generally, both the doctor ‘and the pharmacist come from the same school and should be‘equally fitted in their special lines. I can not see bow a doctor could make such statements when he knows that it is written,—‘‘As you measure to your neighbor, it will measure back to you.” I doubt very seriously if any doc- tor in our city has questioned the competency of any pharmacist di- rectly. If it is a fact however, that such has been done, it argues most pointedly against the corhpetency of that physician who made the declaration. It puts the advan- tage in the hands of that élass of our people that entertain doubts. It starts a kind of under current agitation that will ultimately, sap the foundation built up by our doctors and force them to relin- quish practicé here to seek other fields. Ibelieve in the competency and qualification of all of our profes- sional men, If I draw a com- parsion it is of a Negro physician as against a Negro physician and it materially injures neither, But shouldIsay that Negro doctors sre incompetent, there would be some who would take the matter Bp add te 2 its bitter end as against al legro practitiongrs’ ShouldI say, by mouthor throweh press, that Negro pharmacists aE ee ee were incompetent, there would be those who would use it to the utmost to drive Negro druggists. out of business. It is worst if a professional man says it.

J. ‘Turner has done valuable service, He has¢not only filled the positior with dignity, but he has also, of. fered yaluable recommendation: which have tended towards the prevention of fraudulent entrance: into the order by: those with suck designs. His reports have beer clear, concise and intelligent, and they go. down in the literature o! the order as classics. Satistiec with his compentency and eminent fitness the Grand Lodge re-elected him unanimously. = - | If there is any jowel in his hum. .ble diadem that shines out mor< brilliantly than the rest, it is that ,of consistency. |. He goes up or down with ¢ friend, while at the same time, he ‘disdains to ruthlessly crush at enemy, These traits of his ruggec character have been discerned an¢ favorably commented upon. by + ltast_majority of the members o the fraternity in the state, whos determination it is to re-elect hin at the coming Grand Lodge. Thi: conclusion upon the part of the people has been reached after duc consideration of his worth to the order and of his real worth as « good man and honest citizen. When inthe midst of that me: morable contest in Augusta, Ga.. the great forces of the north hel¢ ‘an infrangible sway, when invec tives and excoreations were rife, ] sat by his side and harked to the impartial whisperings from _ his heart. He was then asgnow, a firm administration man, but a man, ‘He deplored the necessity, if suck: it was, of resorting, in a fraterna orgenization, too drastic methods, either in words or acts. And though he was re-elected with the sdministration, he did not then, nd does not now, fear an expres- tion of the will of the people, Having . “consistently toed _ the mark, without ‘‘bending the preg- nant hinges of the kriee that thrift, might follow fawning,” he takes | his place in the “line up” feeling | that actual sérvice is his best ro- commendation. | Tam glad that st this epoch of the history of the order, its nem: | bers are awake. It is, indeed, gratifying, to, know that as dillato- ry tacties, whether in fraternal or- ganizations, church or state are, being placed under the ban df dis-| approval the country over? The eyes ofa watchful, intelligent and | thoughtful world are upon the ac- tions of any and eyery individual that would bring himself in the limelight. Their conduct, wheth- er wholesome or unwholeseme, consistent or inconsistent, mast be carried through, and the grindings be placed under the xray ofta see- ing and thinking public. And the people remember. They recall every act in detail, if for weal or woe. They measure the man by the matter he exudes. Like a specialists, the public examines in miautest detail the individual’s vonduet, strenuously unearthing every act of charity or depravity during one’s public career. The publichas the termerity -to com- mend, or condemn. Ast publi, official, we prosent our candidate for the grill. If any there be to speak, lot him speak now, for the voices of a mighty host will say at Thomasville, Ga., “we find no fault with him.” The fight is open to eligibles and Ido not believe it should be thought criminal to enter the are: na, And while I admit that the antagonist is a fearless one, I make bold to say that, “Ie a path be dangerous known, ‘The dangers, self is lure alone.” And backed by duty well perform- ed and with a knowledge of the competency and qualification of Dr. Turner, and with confidence in the rank and file of the order, 1 belieye that he will receive | the unanimous endorsement of the Py- thians of the jurisdiction. L know not if ho hasa motor car or “hobby-horse.” I care not. 1 | know not if he is a “wooly” land. lord, or a “silver king.” I care not.’ But this I do know, that he possosses the essence of friendship, charity and benevolence, plus the | confidence of the members of the | fraternity throughout the jurisdic: tion. And this is the fiat that con- trols the yote of the order. |" ‘The Pythian Order is filled with | good men—men competent to a: | properly conduct the affairs of the order as Dr. Turner or any of his }co-officers.

Tbe fews etill teday pray for their dead, It is in sinuated ‘in the New Testament when our Lord speaks of'sins “which shall not be forgiven ncither in this world nor in the world to come,” Matt 12.32.

One of the most striking features of the occasion was the elaborate preparation made for the exercises by the members of the church. ‘The church was most beautiful- ly dressed with flowers which made the atmosphere redolent with the fragrance of the flowers, that, in itself was animating to every in- dividual who hitherto had come to thank God; the star hanging at the entrance circled with the word wel- | come must have lent something to, the effulgence of the occasion for belolding it as they passed, their footsteps seem to quicken as that. great concourse of people marched in and filled that commodious and spacious church to its capacity. Such preparation was the first of its kind in Savannah. But we should not be over-awed at this for here at this church we are there reminded that the saying, that a prophet not honored in his own country does not hold good. Here we find a prophet honored and rev- ered. - The pastor of that church is a native Sayannahian and by perseverance and fidelity and loys!- ty has won the confidence of that body of people, insomuch that he was called to be the pastor of that! large church. Heis an Bhessainit-g| young man, thus, this lofty and ideal work for the good of human- | ity was thrust upon him when he least expected it. He proved his ability on the above occasion; tak- ing for his theme ‘True friend- ship.” He handled the subject in such anable manner that the audi- ence was visibly moved. The friendship of David and Jonathan was so plainly exempli- fied by Rey. Wright that it touch- ed the hearts of many and encour- aged them to extend to each other a stronger feeling of harmony and good will than had existed before they heard him. * Everything was short and sweet.

With the exception of Shakespeare, no writer is more indelibly printed on the English mind and character than John Bunyan. Even to-day there are hundreds of villages throughout the country where the Bible and Bunyan compose the entire library of the inhabitants. His death occurred in the year of grace 1688. Bunyan was born at Elston, a small village near Bedford, in 1628. His father was a tinker, who had his forge at Elston. He was married three times, John being the first child of his second wife. According to Bunyan himself, he never went to school. All he learned—which was very little beyond reading and writing—he picked up as best he could at home. But even such studies were soon denied him, for his father early had need of him in the workshop. At the age of sixteen his mother died; shortly after his father married again, and as the home conditions were thoroughly uncongenial John Bunyan left and enlisted as a soldier. These were the days of the Civil War, when the country was divided between Royalists and Parliamentarians. Bedforshire was most decidedly on the side of the latter. It is more than probable, therefore, that young Bunyan fought against the King. But, however, that may be, little is heard of him again until, the army being disbanded, he returned home and married. At the time he was scarcely twenty, his wife about the same age, neither had a penny to bless themselves with, their united worldly goods amounting to two religious books, the dowry of his wife. But these two volumes were the making of Bunyan; he read and re-read them, until at last "the ungodilest fellow for swearing that was ever heard," for such was the epithet applied to him in his youth, became a changed being; he thought of nothing but religion and the future of his soul, in all of which speculations he was encouraged by his wife. For some years, as he tells us in his "Grace Abounding," the most fierce conflict raged within him; he had heard some old women discussing the "things of God," Hope and fear, joy and despair, torments, illusions, in short, doubts as to the truth of Christianity, nearly drove him mad. In the end he was converted to the faith and joined the Nonconformists, of which sect these women were members. His wife dying about this time, he removed with his two children, one of whom was blind, to Bedford, where he nearly died himself. On his recovery he was selected a deacon by his sect. At the restoration, the old acts against Nonconformity being revived, John Bunyan, who continued his preaching despite the law, was arrested and imprisoned. It is more to his credit that, although he was aware of the warrant issued against him, he refused to save himself by flight. Ultimately he was tried and condemned, and for the next twelve years prison was his earthly home. Shortly after his committal it was discovered that the trial was irregular. On this score he might have been released, for it seems that the justices were really anxious to be rid of him. On Bunyan, however, stating that he was firmly resolved to commence preaching again if his freedom was granted, there was no help for it but to keep him under lock and key. Again, on the occasion of Charles II.'s coronation, Bunyan refused to take advantage of the royal clemency, which was extended to all but felons. Up to this time his many admirers had done all in their power to bring about his release on terms that he would accept. Repeated failure, however, damped their efforts, and so he remained a prisoner until 1672. The bulk of his time he gave up to writing tracts and books, of which he produced a great number, his crowning effort being "The Pilgrim's Progress." Released at last from his prison cell, Bunyan found the religious atmosphere of the outside world completely changed. King Charles had suspended all penal statutes against Nonconformists, and more, Bunyan received a royal license to preach. He was not slow to take advantage of the occasion; his ministerial labors increased a hundredfold. His persecution at an end, little more of consequence was heard of him. He preached anywhere, always attracting huge audiences. It is said that on one occasion 1200 people collected to hear him in London at 7 o'clock on a winter morning. One most important feature of Bunyan's ministrations must not be lost sight of. He never on a single occasion throughout his whole life brought politics into his preaching. In 1688, at the age of sixty, he was attacked by what was then known as "sweating sickness." On his recovery, being called to Reading to effect a family reconciliation, he caught a chill, which cost him his life—London Globe. Pollen Travels Far. The Pollen from pine forests often forms a yellow coating on lakes or on the ocean, as far as 200 miles from the shore, and has been mistaken by peasants for showers of sulphur. The pollen grains of the pine are provided with yellow vesicles, which buoy them up in the air very much on the principle of a box kite. PE-RU-NA PE-RU-NA For Cramps in the Stomach of Six Years' Standing. "I was troubled with cramps in the stomach for six years. I tried many kinds of medicine, also was treated by three doctors. "They said that I had nervous dyspepsia. I took the medicine for two years, then I got sick again and gave up all hopes of getting cured. "I saw a testimonial of a map whose case was similar to mine, being cured by Peruna, so thought I would give it a trial. I precured a bottle at once, and commenced taking it. "I have taken nineteen bottles, and am entirely cured. I believe Peruna is all that is claimed for it."—Mrs. J. C. Jamison, 81 Marchant St., Watsonville, Cal. "What can i do for you today, Senator?" inquired the, unbane Bing City postmaster. "Oh, nothing much," answered Senator Pluribus, easily. "I merely desire to have my coal house, my sectional book cases, my blue ribbon Jersey cow, my wife's kitchen cabinet, my daughter's upright plano, my little son's Shetland pony, my mother-in-law's Morris chair and my secretary's winter supply of cordwood franked to Washington.

When one sees the surface of a house or other building scaling, or peeling, or spotted or blistered, or showing other symptoms of paint "disease," it is evident that a poor painter has been on the job, or that poor paint was used—or possibly that a good painter has been dominated by a property-owner who knew nothing about paint. It is an easy matter to be informed on paint and painting. A complete painting guide, including a book of color schemes, either for exterior or interior—specifications for all kinds of painting, and an instrument for detecting adulteration in paint material, with directions for using it, may be had free by writing National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg., New York City, and asking for Houseowner's Painting Outfit No. 49. Then, every houseowner should make it a point to get only well-known reliable brands in buying his materials. Pure white lead is especially important, or the paint will not prove satisfactory. The famous "Dutch Boy Palnter" trademark of National Lead Company, the largest makers of pure white lead, is an absolute guarantee of the purity and quality of the white lead sold under it. That trademark is a safeguard against paint trouble. Most people are liberal with their sympathy because it doesn't cost anything. Piles Cured in 6 to 14 Days.

President Taft's White Steamer THE FIRST WHEEL CAR PRESIDENT TAFT AND HIS FAMILY IN THEIR WHITE STEAMER. When the announcement was made several months ago that Mr. Taft would use an automobile, instead of carriages, during his term as President, much rivalry developed among the leading manufacturers for the honor of selling him a car, and the public watched with interest to see what Mr. Taft's choice would be. The knowing ones predicted that the White Steamer would be selected, and they pointed out that President Roosevelt had used White Steamers for two years at his summer home at Oyster Bay, and had recommended this make to Mr. Taft as the most desirable. This prediction proved correct, although Mr. Taft did not rely solely on Mr. Roosevelt's recommendation, but with his usual thoroughness, determined to have an investigation made of all the principal makes. Accordingly, he asked several officers of the War Department to look into the matter for him, and they tested many makes of cars, visited a number of factories, so that they might see what materials were used, and, finally, they investigated the records of the different types of cars in public contests and in private service.

"Everybody says confidence is restored," reflected Uncle Allen Sparks, in the Chicago Tribune, "and I suppose it is; but I notice that the manufacture of cash registers still keeps a whole town busy." the officials reported unanimously to Mr. Taft in favor of the White, and accordingly a car of this make was immediately ordered from the manufacturers, The White Company, of Cleveland. The new car was delivered to Mr. Taft in Washington a few days before his inauguration, and since that time it has been in almost constant use. There has not been a day when the President or some members of his family have not been seen riding around the National Capital in the new car. It is hinted that Mr. Taft likes fast traveling, and that when he rides out into the open country, he does not always insist that the speed of the car be kept within the legal limits. E. W. Gans, manager of the southern branch of the White Company, 126 Marietta street, Atlanta, Ga., said recently to a correspondent of this paper: "We are receiving many inquiries each day asking for full details regarding the construction of Mr. Taft's car, and in reply we are sending copies of our catalog.

Mombasa, British East Africa.—Mombasa is preparing already to welcome Theodore Roosevelt, and his coming has given a decided impetus to the interest in the present hunting season. The Governor of the protectorate, Lieutenant-Colonel Sir James Hayes Sadler, is arranging a program of welcome and entertainment for the distinguished visitor, but in spite of these arrangements the greeting to Mr. Roosevelt will be more to the great sportsman, whose fame is well known to local hunters, than to the former President. East African sportmen were highly gratified to learn that Mr. Roosevelt had refused the offer of the authorities to grant him a special hunting license that would have permitted him a game to extend instead of confining himself to the two elephants, two rhinoceroses, two hippopotamus, etc., of the regular license. Lions and leopards are classed as vernin and consequently no license to kill them is required. R. J.

Everything points stay in British East. The white population of Mombasa has heard much of Mr. Roosevelt's personality, and in a joking way frequent references to the "big stick" are being made. The rains are late this year, and a heavy fall is expected (the regular time for the "big rains" is from the end of January to the end of April). The prospects for good hunting this season are considered excellent. Many researchers in the outlying districts, realizing the increasing interest in the prospects for sport because of the coming of Mr. Roosevelt, are voluntarily sending in information about the movements of game. According to a dispatch received here a record group of lions, numbering thirty-two, was seen on the Nandi plateau recently at a point about fifty miles north of Port Florence (the Nandi plateau is on the west side of the great Rift Valley). Among them are three huge males. Four families, of giraffes have been seen at Makindu, 200 miles inland from here on the line of the Uganda Railroad, and elephants have been seen at Elburg, 475 miles inland on the railroad. MESSINA'S UNI Estimated at 60,000 and 111 All the Bodies of the MESSINA'S UNBURIED DEAD. Estimated at 60,000 and It May Take a Year to Find All the Bodies of the Earthquake Victims. Rome, Italy.—The General in command at Messina, who is in charge of the removal of the dead, estimates the number of bodies still awaiting burial at about 60,000. Most of them lie several feet deep under the rubbish from fallen houses. The work of clearing the debris from the streets is proceeding very slowly. A man is moving the removed and buried on any day when the work is carried on without interruption for twelve hours. The pravailing bad weather is hampering the work greatly and often stops it, as the rain changes the debris into soft mud, which the first sunny day hardens to the consistency of cement. The soldiers and workmen have to break this with pikaxes instead of clearing it away with shovels. Often a week passes without any bodies being extracted, and at the rate at which the work is being done more than a year will be required before all the victims in Messina are buried. For some uncommon reasons, Government officials want to keep this a secret, and an attempt to send the story by wire some days ago failed, owing to the activity of the press censor. It is probable that the Government now realizes its mistake in recalling too soon the greater number of soldiers and sailors engaged in the work of burial. DR. LYMAN ABBOTT'S ON WHAT MAKES Brooklyn.—"To be an ideal woman a sermon in the Central Congregations represented in each individual must "1. Discard all shoes the size of possible. "2. She must not consider her of work. "3. To obtain red cheeks, the size pass by paint and powder. "4. She must not be the servant are her servants. "5. She must not change her age. "6. Her home must be her palace love of beauty and shown she knows her. "7. She must be industrious, motherly and a true friend." DR. LYMAN ABBOTT'S SEVEN RULES ON WHAT MAKES AN IDEAL WOMAN Brooklyn.—"To be an ideal woman," said Dr. Lyman Abbott, in a sermon in the Central Congregational Church, "the feminine type represented in each individual must: 1. Discard all shoes the size of which makes walking well nigh impossible. 2. She must not consider her hands when it comes to a question of work. 3. To obtain red cheeks, the ideal woman must take exercise and pass by paint and powder. 4. She must not be the servant of the dressmaker and milliner. They are her servants. "5. She must not change her styles at the distation of men in Paris, because she has become the one she was designed to love of beauty and shown she knows how to create it." "7. She must be industrious, sympathetic, energetic, enthusiastic, motherly and a true friend." Continuing, Dr. Abbott said: "A woman's idea of modern industry is playing bridge whilst mourning and night. Her idea of modern life is to be supported by some one else. "The ideal woman does not consider work unwomanly. She be lieves that whatever concerns her husband concerns her. 'If the ideal woman's family finds fault with her cooking, she does not blame the cooking. She blames the food, and changes it. "Woman was meant to be man's companion, and if the idea were properly carried out there would be no affinities." "A woman's idea of modern industry is laying bridge whilst morning and night. Her idea of modern life is to be supported by some one else. "The ideal woman does not consider work unwomanly. She believes that whatever concerns her husband concerns her. If the ideal woman's fashion finds it difficult, she does not blame the man. She blames the food, and changes it. "Woman was meant to be man's companion, and if the idea were properly carried out there would be no affinities." Russian Drugged and Left to Per- Rome, Italy.—The body of a Russian, Vladimir Tarason by name, was found in a trunk in a boarding house, locked up in the trunk, it is believed, for twenty-three days. A medical examination indicated that the man, who was about thirty years of age, had been drugged and killed in the trunk, and that he died of suffocation. Two Russians visited him shortly before his disappearance. There is no clew to their identity. --- R. J. Cuningham, a noted English big game hunter and field naturalist, who is to be guide to and general manager of the Roosevelt party, has been here for some time completing the preparations for the trip into the wilderness as well as the shooting and collecting excursions along the line of the railroad. He is selecting and hiring native porters for the expedition. He takes only experienced men who are known to be courageous and to possess great physical strength. The "safari" kit—in other words, the camp equipment for the work in the open—is arriving from London, and all will be in readiness when Mr. Roosevelt arrives. The railroad car used on the line as far as Port Florence by other distinguished visitors to Uganda, such as the Duke of Mecklenburg, the Duke of Connaught, the Duke of the Abruzzi, Joseph Chamberlain and Winston Spencer Churchill, is being refitted for the use of Mr. Roosevelt. Everything points to a successful stay in British East Africa and Uganda for Mr. Roosevelt. The natives are peaceful, game is plentiful and the people of Mombasa are waiting eagerly to extend him a welcome. TAME HUNTING, SAYS ANOTHER. Captain Smiley Says Many Hunters Have Made Lions Gun-Shy. San Francisco, Cal.—Captain A. J. Smiley, who is said to have served with the Irish Brigade in the Boer war, says that the hunting grounds where ex-President Roosevelt plans to spend his vacation are nothing but a huge game preserve, and that the hunter will have a tame time. The captain claims to have hunted over this ground many times, and he asserts that the lion have been not at so often they have become gun-shy. The Duke of Manchester, according to Captain Smiley, is said to have shot over the country which Roosevelt will traverse without bagging any game. Smiley says he has written to Roosevelt suggesting that he go to a portion of Africa where elephants could be met in droves. BURIED DEAD. It May Take a Year to Find the Earthquake Victims.

Proof That He's Nearsighted Unfits an Oyster Bed Watchman. Trenton, N. J. — The Civil Service Commission received its first request for the removal of an officeholder here. It came from an oyster grower of South Jersey who objected to a watchman; saying: "He isn't a good watchman because he is nearsighted. A nearsighted watchman can't do the work. I know he is nearsighted, because if he wasn't he could see his own father and brother stealing my oysters right along." The watchman says complainant is merely sarcastic. TO GO ON THE PUBLIC ROADS Farm Will Be Purchased as Early as Possible and the White Convicts Will Work it. Atlanta, Ga.—The white convicts of the state will have, to be placed temporarily upon the public roads. There appears to be no escape from this disposition of them following Governor Smith's refusal to approve the purchase of the Wimberly place in Twiggs county as a state prison farm. It is not that the prison commission will refuse to make further effort find a farm which conforms to its ideas to what the law contemplates, but that as the Jumper stated, the commission does not at present know of any other available farm which, in its opinion, would fill the bills. The commission, Chairman Turner stated, will proceed with its investigations with a view to finding and buying a farm at the earliest possible date, but to do this in time to take care of the white convicts on April 1, or at any time within the next month or more, he states, would be manifestly impossible. It is practically settled, therefore, that the 300 white convicts of the state will have to go temporarily on the public roads. The commission will not, however, distribute them pro rata among the counties of the state. It is its purpose to dispose of them as "overs" or as the new law contemplated "overs" should be disposed of, should there be any. The white convicts will be sent chiefly to the larger counties of the state, such as Fulton, Richmond, Bibb and others if they are prepared to take them and work them separate and apart from the negro convicts. It is said that Fulton would take all of them if the commission should so award them, but it is likely they will be divided among three or four of the larger counties. This policy will be pursued because of the fact that the programs will be only temporary and it is the commission's purpose to get a farm and put them on it just as soon as it can do so. LIOUOR LEAGUE PROHIBITION LAW. Model License Organization Suggests a Vote of People Be Taken Atlanta, Ga.—Depunite' proof of the fact that the manufacturers and dealers in whisky and other alcoholic beverages are making a concerted effort to bring about certain changes in the present prohibition law in this state, has recently come to light in the shape of a letter that has just been received by a member of the Georgia legislature from an organization of liquor men known as the National Model License League, with headquarters in Louisville, Ky. It is presumed that every member of the legislature has received a similar communication. The letter requests that the voters of Georgia be given an opportunity of expressing their exact wishes in regard to the sale and use of alcoholic beverages. The 'manner in which this may be done, according to the letter, is by permitting the people of the state to vote for or against the saloon license, the tavern license or the merchants' license. The term saloon license is self-planetary, tavern license is explained as a license to permit liquor to be used with meals at hotels, while a merchants' license is one that allows liquor to be sold in original packages not to be opened on the premises of the merchant. In case no form of license were adopted, prohibition would be the result. The letter states that the league does not favor the sale of alcoholic beverages in territory where the people do not want to use liquor and that the league will not oppose any law against the use of liquor in prohibition territory. GEORGIA PEACH UNHURT. Fruit` Growers Believe Crop is Now Practically Beyond Danger. Adairsville, Ga.—It seems that the Georgia peach crop for 1909 may be safely said to be practically without the pale of danger with reference to the possibility of serious damage from severe frost or free. Such is the opinion of prominent growers here, which is the heart of the Elberta station of northern Georgia. As the orchards about Adairsville are the ones that are farthest north in the state, they are the ones most likely to be affected by the cold. The fact that they are pronounced safe by the usual method of that section is a pretty good indication that the 1909 peach crop throughout the state is in good way to bring a normal crop in point of quantity, and one that will be most satisfactory in the quality of fruit produced. BLEACHED FLOUR BARRED. Cannot Be Sold in Georgia After October First. Next. Atlanta, Ga.—In line with the recently promulgated decision of the national department of agriculture, under the pure food law, forbidding the interstate shipment and traffic in flour bleached with nitrogen peroxide after July 1, 1909, the state department of agriculture issued an official order prohibiting the sale of such bleached flour in Georgia after October 1 next. The mill men will stop using the bleaching process at once, and will have time before the order goes into effect to dispose of the stocks now on hand. It is said that 75 to 80 per cent of the flour now sold in Georgia is bleached by the nitrogen peroxide process, because it results in making a whiter flour and enables the mill to use a larger portion of the wheat than is the case where flour is not bleached. It will readily be seen, therefore, what an extensive effect this order will have on the flour trade in this state. Most of the flour mills in Georgia employ the nitrogen peroxide process in bleaching. They will have to discontinue this and stop the use of expensive plants. STATE GLEANINGS. The prison commission has issued an order prohibiting the use in future of chains or shackles of any kind upon female convicts, either in the state penitentiary or on county chainingangs. The order grew out of a case in Clarke county in which shackles were placed upon a white woman, recently convicted of a misdemeanor. The commission's attention was attracted to the matter through the newspaper reports. The commission's order on the subject follows: "It is ordered by the prison commission that the following rule be, and the same hereafter adopted, subject to the approval of the governor: No. 14. No chains or shackles shall be placed upon any female in the penitentiary or chainingangs. The sufficient guard and other necessary must be provided to prevent escape." Governor Smith promptly signified his approval of the order. Under the new law the prison commission has jurisdiction over county chainingangs, and the new rule will be enforced both as to these and the state penitentiary. It has been decided to make a permanent annual event of the great Southern Musical Festival that is to open in Atlanta next May the 4th, 5th and 6th. The interest which the festival has already aroused throughout the state proves that the people of Georgia and the south are eager to support such an undertaking, and that the opportunity is ripe to make this section one of the big musical centers of the United States. Hereafter it will not be necessary to go to New York to hear famous singers and performers, many of them, Garnzo being included will be heard at the festival next May. Complete rural delivery service has been ordered established in Murray county, Georgia, December 6, 1909. The number of rural offices in the county is ten, seven of which are new and originate from offices within the county, as follows: Carters, one, Chatsworth, one; Cisco, one; Crandall, one; Eton, one; Fairy one; Ramhurst, one; Spring Place, three. A monument to the Georgia soldiers who participated in the seige of Vicksburg is being looked forward to by the Vicksburg Park commission, which is said to be actively interested in furthering the project for the monument. The monument is in contemplation now. The raising of funds will soon be undertaken, and it is possible that the state of Georgia may be asked to share in the expense. The park is a national military reservation and is rapidly filling up with monuments to the memory of the brave men who fought over its territory. The Georgia branch of the Ananias club is being rapidly promoted by Governor Hoke Smith, who replies to Commissioner Wiley Williams on that state farm proposition and says, among other things, that "the statement that the commission was ready to report to me two weeks before March 11 can not be true." The governor doesn't mince words by applying to Mr. Williams's published statement. He says the selection of the old Milledgeville, farm was one blunder and he wishes to save the state from another. He says the prison commission had plenty of time to select a farm and there has been "no excuse for delay." He says the Wimberly farm, the choice of the commission, is partly swamp land, unhealthy and subject to overflow, and he doesn't understand how the commissioners ever picked it out nor why they can not choose from a list of better tracts. In conclusion, he takes up the expressed intention of the commissioners to work the white convicts on the public roads, and intimates strongly that such a plan is calculated to render the abolition of the lease system unpopular. "Surely this can not be the desire of the commission?" he concludes. "It certainly is not my desire." An advance of 10 per cent of the 1909 school fund will be distributed among the teachers of the state immediately, notwithstanding the heavy drains made upon the treasury by the prepayment of pensions and other matters since the first of the year. Governor Smith authorized State School Commissioner Pound to prepare for the distribution of $225,000. This advance on the school fund will relieve conditions that have lately been growing somewhat strained. Pay is unexpectedly coming to teachers who had begun to reconcile themselves to doing without till the end of the year. Theoretically the school fund is not available for distribution till the general taxes are in along toward the last of each year. Assistant State Commissioner of Agriculture R. F. Wright is in Habersham county on a tour of inspection of the dread "cattle tick." Mr. Wright will visit a number of counties, where the cattle disease has appeared. Now that it has been determined that the white convicts of the state must go temporarily on the public roads, because of the failure of agreement between Governor Smith and the prison commission relative to the purchase of a farm, the question is being asked, why should they not stay there and save the state the expense of purchasing a high-priced farm? This view of the matter was in considerable favor in the discussion at the capitol following the governor's action in disapproving the commission's request to "remove" the state of Georgia are tired of this maudlin sentimentality which is trying to force the view that the white convicts are too good to work on the public roads,".sald a prominent south Georgian, and a former judge of the superior court, while on a visit to the capitol. From the talk that comes from many sections of the state there appears to be no doubt that this view is somewhat generally shared. The people, of course, want the convicts treated humely, and properly, and there is no reason, it is said, why that cannot be done just as well on the public roads, and the farm. In of these facts, the question is asked, why should the state spend $80,000 to $80,000 for a farm for the white convicts, when they can just as well, 'and as advantageously, be kept on the public roads. Each lodge must send in its annual report and fees to the Grand Secretary immediately after the first meeting in this month. Do not delay. Render each report on time. This is imperative. Open your lodge on time, and call off likewise. This will cause many old members to be frequent visitors. The curse of the age is the fierce mercenary spirit which is crowding out the higher aspirations of men and causing to bow down before the golden calf, forgetful of the duties they owe to one another. Men are shrivelling up their souls in the mad passion for gold. Deaf to the appeal for help, they excuse themselves with the selfish question, "Am I my brother's keeper?" It is well that in this maelstrom is to be found the moral force of Freemasonry, checking the communistic spirit of the age and directing mankind toward the accomplishment of better things. Try This. There are three things which officers of lodges should feel themselves honor bound to do, viz.: First: They should be in their places promptly, and see that their lodges are opened on time. Secondly: They should learn and do their work to the very best of their ability. Thirdly: They should be watchful and zealous as to the requutation of their lodges, and should not hesitate to enforce discipline against willful offenders. An officer in a Masonic lodge is a post of honor, of responsibility and of labor. That officer who falls to ro the labor or shrinks the responsibility is unworthy of the honor of the position which he occupies. No brother has a moral right to occupy a station, and then, by the neglect of the duties which it imposes, greatly inconvenience the members of his lodge, and thereby injures Freemasonry. It is an exceedingly reprehensible practice for Masters to be indifferent about opening their lodges at the appointed time. If the brethren want to talk and have a social time, let it be done after and not before the lodge meeting. Then those who want to go home can do so, and no injury done. I know from personal experience that it decreases attendance upon lodge meetings for officers to be late or irregular in opening the lodge. If you want the interest of the brethren to increase, be sure to be on hand and in your station, out about but upon the exact minute of the time for opening the lodge. Pursue this course and you will be surprised at the increase in lodge attendance and interest. Open your lodge on time, and then do your work to the best of your ability. FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. A corps of the Norwegian army is being drilled to operate on skates. Earl Grey, Governor-General of Canada, urges forest preservation in Canada. Colombia has reduced the export duty on cocoanuts from $2 to $1 a thousand for a period of one year. A company has been formed, supported by English capital, to open five central sugar factories in Jamaica. Mall advises from Cuba say that no serious trouble appears to be brewing for the new Government, though Congress is wasting its time. St. Petersburg is to have modern systems of drainage and water supply by compulsory construction under Government supervision. Of the 30,484 homestead entries granted in the western provinces of Canada last year 7818 were by Americans and 7417 by Canadians. In 1908 the product of the fisheries of Canada was worth $25,500,000, a decrease of $750,000 from 1907, occurring chiefly in Pacific salmon and sealskins. Rio de Janeiro is to have a Government, zoo-technical and agronomical institute dedicated to the study of stock raising and agricultural experiments. The Danish Government proposes land and sea fortifications, the construction of twenty torpedo boats and six submarines, improvements in mines, etc. Chile has increased the import duty on condensed milk, with or without sugar, from 12.04 cents American on 2.2 pounds, including weight of packages, to 13.87 cents. Cuba's tobacco products of 1908, manufactured and unmanufactured, was of the value of $45,000,000 gold, of which $11,000,000 worth was used for home consumption. The Monthly Examination. Students at Walter H, Page's College of Poetry are required to answer correctly any five of the following six questions at the end of the first month's instruction: 1. Should alud acquaintance be forgot? 2. Where are the snows of yesterday? 3. Tell me, where is Fancy bred? 4. Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud? 5. The boy, where was he? (b) And when the sun set, where were they? 6. Breathes there a man with soul so dead?—Puck. When a fellow gets notice to quit he usually promptly announces that he has resigned. For a Cracked Stone. Take an equal part of wood ashes and common salt; mix them to a proper consistency with water; with this fill the cracks.—Boston Post. To Color Canned Cherries. If when the fruit is turned out of the can it has a dingy, faded look, add a small quantity of cranberry juice just before serving. This will greatly improve the appearance of the dish without affecting the flavor of the fruit.—New York World. A Refrigerator Suggestion. To prevent the ice pan from getting rusty and leaking wash the pan clean, and dry thoroughly; melt enough paraffine to cover the bottom of the pan about one-half an inch. Besides preserving the pan the sediment washes out very easily with cold water, and the pan always looks clean.—Boston Post. The Kitchen Linen. A convenient place to hold the dish towels, roller towels and kitchen tablecloths and napkins has been hit upon by a young housekeeper who has to utilize every inch of space in her small apartment. It is a box put under one of the windows, that does duty both as a seat and chest. The box was an ordinary store box with a hinged lid. It was covered with a tight woven matting that could easily be kept clean. A layer of padding was put underneath. Rollers were added, so that the box could easily be moved. The interior was provided with a tray, which was divided into three divisions, so that the different kinds of towels could be kept separate.—New Haven Register. Science of Washing Dishes One of the unnecessary things in housekeeping is the continuous washing and wiping of dishes, says a woman in the Housekeeper. Many women have nevertheless at one time or another rebelled against the stack of dishes which looms up, like a schoolboy's hash, "three times a day." It is queer how some women will wear themselves out rather than step aside from the beaten path. They have yet to learn the joy that comes from taking an independent tack and making the work subservient to the worker, from being the master instead of the slave. To many women the bugbear of housework is washing dishes. Why, wash dishes three times a day? Do it in the morning when fresh. Scrape the dinner dishes, stack in a large pan filled with cold water and cover. Treat the supper dishes the same way, and do not allow your conscience to keep you awake one single hour. It will not make the task too heavy, the next morning if you try this way. After washing each piece in hot suds and rinsing in hot (not warm) water, put them, piece by piece, in the wire drainer as nearly on edge or aslant as possible and let stand until dry. Glasses, of course, and silver, must be wiped, but the former can be left filled after using and the latter, put into a pitcher or deep jug until some odd minute when one is not so weary, with well doing that another turn of the screw seems next to impossible. HOUSEHOLD RECIPES Stuffed Prunes.—Wash the prunes thoroughly, steam until tender, pt and fill each one with cream cheese, plain fondant, fondant and nuts or chopped preserved ginger. Beef For Essence.—One-half pound round steak, broil two or three minutes, turning every ten seconds; cut up in small pieces and squeeze through squeezer to obtain juice. Cranberry Jelly.—One quart of cranberries, two cupfuls of cold water; let it boil ten minutes; add two cupfuls of sugar; let boil ten minutes; strain. It will soon harden. Lightning Cake.—One cup of sugar, one cup of flour, one teaspoonful of cream of tartar, one-half of soda or two teaspoonfuls of baking powder; melt one-fourth of a cup of butter, then into this break two eggs and fill cup with sweet milk that has the chill taken off, then turn onto the dry ingredients and beat briskly five minutes; flavor with lemon; bake in a moderate over. Lemon Sponge Cake.—Eight eggs, two cups sugar, two cups flour, one lemon. Beat the yolks of eggs and add gradually the sugar, which has been sifted. Add juice and grated rind of lemon, then the whites of eggs, which have been beaten stiff. Sift the flour three times and add to the mixture with a little salt. Don't beat after the flour has been well mixed. Bake in a moderate oven. Chicken Stew.—Cut in pieces a good sized chicken. In a deep saucepan have ready two tablespoonfuls olive oil. Add the chicken and onion chopped fine, and a clove of garlic, season with salt and pepper and add a sprinkling of flour to assist in the browning. When a golden brown, add a can of tomatoes with a little sugar to taste, and simmer gently until tender. Serve with Spanish rice. = S| = eee =. Ze = ell
