WILL KUSH TO COMPLETION It Is Believed That Under the Leadership of Colonel Roosevelt the Work Would Progress Much Faster. New Orleans, La.—"Roosevelt is to take hold of the Panama canal problem as commander-in-chief on the isthmus and rush the work to completion." This is the message that comes direct from the zone, and, furthermore, comes semi-officially. T. W. Harris or Columbus, Ohio, one of the government engineers, directing the canal work, arrived here from the zone with the news: "It is generally understood on the isthmus," said Mr. Harris, that Mr. Roosevelt will take active charge of the canal construction as soon as he returns from his African hunt and cleans up the most pressing of his literary engagements. There is no dissatisfaction, with the present management, but the general belief among the men who are building the big ditch, officials and workmen, is that with. Colonel Roosevelt's energy and leadership brought to bear on the task, work would progress faster than it possibly could under any other man. The wish may prove to have been the decision to the thought; neverthe less the declaration that the former president is comfortable as our chief is reiterated with such inexplicable canal men of high degree that it has come to be accepted down there as a settled fact. "Work on the canal is progressing smoothly now, and the army engineers are measuring squarely up to their great responsibilities." WAR UN HATS. -Anti-Rat Clubs Urged by Government Officials Washington, D. C.-Rat clubs and other societies for systematic warfare on destructive rodents may leap into popular favor among housekeepers, now that the government has officially sanctioned this method of extermination of the worst mammal pest in the United States. The rat has been recognized by the government as a problem. Its activity in disseminating infectus diseases has long loomed up as a danger signal to the health authorities, and losses from its depredations run into many millions dollars a year, according to an official statement just issued by the department of agriculture. Dr. David E. Lantz of the bureau of biological survey, has taken vigorous hold of the question and says: "However valuable cats may be as mousers, few of them learn to catch rats. The ordinary house cat is too well fed and consequently too lazy to undertake the capture of an animal as formidable as the brown rat." The department in a bulletin emphasizes the importance of rat clubs and suggests that interest in organized rat hunts may be stimulated by offering prizes or rewards in various communities to the individual hauling forth the greatest number of dead rats after one of the crushes. GENERAL H. C. CORBIN DEAD. Congress Made Him a Major General For Gallantry in War. New York City—General Henry Clark Corbin, U. S. A., retired, a veteran of two wars, died in the Rosevelt hospital following an operation. General Corbin fought through the civil war and the Indian wars in the west. He was born in Clermont county, Ohio, in 1843, and was studying law at the beginning of the civil war. At nineteen years of age he enlisted and was given a commission as second lieutenant in the Sikxtynth Ohio Volunteers. He served through the war with distinction. General Corbin was with Garfield when he was shot. In recognition of his services during the Spanish-American war he was breveted a major general. In 1901 he married Miss Edith Patten. His home was in Washington, D. C. MEXICAN BOMOS FOUND. New Revolt Against Diaz Administration in Mexico Monterey, Mexico.-The discovery of a number of bombs secreted in a cave outside of this city, led to the discovery of a new revolutionary plot against President Diaz' administration and ten arrests were made. An investigation is being made to see whether the revolutionaries acted independently or belonged to General Reyes' fiction of malcontents. "HARRIMAN'S CONDITION SERIOUS Railroad Magnate's Doctors Hope for the Best. New York City.—The condition of E. H. Harriman is so serious it was learned that his physician, Dr. Lyle, and two nurses were up all night with the sufferer at Tower Hill, the Harriman residence on top of the mountain at Arden. The family also were awake all night, the mansion being lighted up until dawn. Mr. Harriman is now confined to his bed. The following bulletin concerning Mr. Harriman's condition was given out at Arden by Dr. Lyle: "Mr. Harriman has suffered a relapse; he had a sharp attack of indigestion; we hope for the best." THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1909. JOBS FOR 3,000 CLERKS. Examinations for Census Positions to Be Held October 23. Washington, D. C.—The census bureau announces that 3,000 temporary clerks will be appointed for the thirteenth decennial census, throughout the country, the first examination being held October 23. at the following cities: Alabama — Birmingham, Mobile, Montgomery. Florida — Gainesville, Jacksonville, Key West, Miami, Pensacola, Tampa. Georgia — Athens, Atlanta, Augusta, Macon, Savannah, Thomasville. Louisiana — Baton Rouge, Lake Charles, Monroe, New Orleans, Shreveport. Mississippi — Meridian, Vicksburg, Jackson. North Carolina — Asheville, Charlotte, Durham, Goldsboro, Greensboro, Raleigh, Wilmington. South Carolina—Charleston, Columbia, Greenville. Tennessee — Bristol, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Memphis, Nashville. These 3,000 appointees will be given salaries of $100 per annum at the beginning, but promotions to $900 per annum, at least, will be reasonably rapid for those who render satisfactory service. All appointments will be on probation, subject to termination at one month or any period, if the appointee does not come up to the requirements. In every case the appointments will be temporary and subject to termination as the exigencies of the service may require. All expire by operation of law on June 30, 1912. The average tenure of office will probably be about one year, but the general duration will range from six months to two years. Not one of these clerks will be eligible for transfer into the classified service. PITTSBURG STRIKE SETTLED. Complete Victory for Laborers at the Pressed Steel Car Co's Plant. Pittsburgh, Pa.-Peace and quiet will again reign in McKee's Rocks. The costly strike which has been in progress fifty-three days at the Pressed Steel Sar Company is over. The workmen, numbering over 5,000, have won a complete victory. They are returning to work at the rate of a thousand a day. Practically all the demands made by the men have been granted by the company. The company, it is said, has promised to pay the 1907 rates of wages in about sixty days. Among the changes agreed to by the company, are the following: No Sunday work hereafter; half holiday on Saturday; the promise of an increase in wages, the indefinite suspension of T. A. Ferrell, chief of the police, and a guarantee that better conditions are to prevail throughout the big mill. CEITICISM UNWARRANTED. Improper Motives Ascribed to the Italian Cruiser Aetna. Washington, D. C.-Regret is expressed in administration circles over the publication ascribing improper motives to the commander of the Italian cruiser Aetna, which is reported to have steamed between the ships of the Atlantic battleship fleet engaged in target practice. Naval officers in Washington expressed the opinion that any criticism of the action of the commander of the vessel should be withheld. $100,000 for Berea College. Chicago, Ill.—Dr. D. K. Pearsonss has announced that a gift of $100,000 to the Berea (Kentucky) college, providing the institution raised $400,000 more. The fee for raising the additional $400,000 has not been set by Dr. Pearsonss. Newsy Paragraphs. For the first time in twenty years the presence of the screw worm is reported near Natzhec, Mississippi. Considerable stock has been killed as a result. The fight for the possession of Marian Bleakley, the "incubator baby" is at an end. So declared John H. Attaway, the circuit court at Kansas City, Mo, whose behalf of Mrs. James C. Barclay, he withdrew the habeas corpus suit brought to prevent the return of the child to Mrs. J. J. Bleakley, from whose home little Marian was kidnapped. Washington has a champion high diver in the person of Private John Koch of the Fifteenth United States Cavalry, stationed at Fort Myer. One day recently persons near the Aqueduct bridge were astonished to see a soldier appear on the bridge rail, remove his uniform, and, in a bathing suit, dive into the deep water below. The dive is about 75 feet, and those who saw it held their breath until the daring soldier appeared on the surface and swam down to the Potomac Boat Club, some distance below. This feat was performed twice in the same afternoon by Trooper Koch. Dana Dudley of Wakefield, Mass., to whom is ascribed the invention of the dynamite gun and forpedo tube now, in use, and a disappearing gun, claims to have devised a Pan angle telescope by means of which it is possible to aim guns and rifles around corners, over the tops of skyscrapers and down into the depths of the ocean. The inventor says the United States government has already adopted the device for army and navy use. Statisticians who are eminently qualified to form estimates believe that the United States census to be taken next year will show a population of between 90,000,000 and 95,000,000. They would not be surprised if the figures ran as high as 100,000,000. DR. COOK IN COPENHAGEN Explorer Received By the Danish King and Queen and Many of the World's Greatest Scientists—Brought Ample Proofs to Establish his Claims. Copenhagen, Denmark.—Dr. Frederick A. Cook, the American explorer, returning to civilization from his discovery of the North Pole, came into Copenhagen harbor on board the steamer Hans Egede from Greenland. Dr. Cook was standing on the bridge of the vessel, whirling the American flag at her mizzen mast. Crown Prince Christian of Denmark, Maurice Egan, the American minister; the Danish minister of commerce, and committees representing public bodies, boarded the Hans Egede and welcomed Dr. Cook in the name of the nation and the city. est in the problem. It would not do me any good to invent these things. The only witnesses I had were two Eskimos. Certainly Eskimos? Certainly, but in all polar expeditions observations have been made by one man. I regard the Eskimos as much more intelligent in finding positions than the white can in the Arctic. These people, as a rule, are not absolutely ignorant. They know that the earth is round. They have a name for the Pole, which they call the 'Big Nail.' They appreciate the work of explorers when participating therein. I think Rasmussen has obtained some information regarding my Dr. Cook was escorted ashore by Prince Christian. The explorer was cheered by great crowds. An immense throng followed through the streets to the Meteorological Institute, where he made a brief speech. Dr. Cook stood on the bridge of the Hans Egede, wearing a shabby brown suit that had been loaned to him, by a seaman. On his head was a disreputable old cap, and his feet were clad in leather moccasins. His blonde hair was long and shaggy and his mustache, rough and straggling. His complexion was sallow, but his face was full. He was a strange figure for the center of such a brilliant scene as greeted his return to civilization. Dr. Cook stepped ashore and in an instant the police were powerless to make a way for the party. Dr. Cook and those about him were engulfed and swept along by a clamorous crowd. Maurice F. Egan, the Ameri- can minister of the alibaba group, literally clung to Dr. Cook. Together the party fought its way desperately to the Phoenix Hotel, where Dr. Cook was the guest of the government. The members of the reception committee, withdrew and were succeeded by a numerous delegation of tailors, bootmakers and barbers. The explorer placed himself in their hands, and several tradesmen were at work on him at the same time. At the end of an hour Dr. Cook emerged with his hair neatly trimmed, his mustache cropped close, and in a new suit, hat and boots. Dr. Cook will stay in Copenhagen for a few days as the guest of the government, awaiting the arrival of his wife. He will then go to Belgium. A banquet was held in the magnificent municipal building. Four hundred persons, many of them ladies, attended. The most detailed account of his polar journey as yet given by Dr. Cook was gained from him by a large body of newspaper correspondents, whom he met at the Hotel Phoenix. Dr. Cook, at the request of the correspondents, consented to 'answer all questions. First, he was asked whether or not the first account of his discovery of the Pole could be accepted as entirely his own work. He replied in the affirmative, except for the obvious errors, in transmission. He then explained the doubt about the 30,000 square miles discovered, saying that he meant they were able to see 15 miles on each side during their journey to the Pole, and that, therefore, a hitherto unknown territory of 30,000 square miles was now discovered. Dr. Cook proceeded to show that he was fully competent to take all observations, though saying that on previous expeditions he did very little observation work, which usually was divided among the members of the party. "This time," he continued, "we had started out to reach the Pole, and everything else was of secondary consideration. It was not possibly to carry certain apparatus, and it was impossible also to study the deep sea or take soundings. "We carried all necessary simple instruments for astronomical observations, and we were lucky to obtain observations virtually every day. The positions noted must have been nearly correct. We had three chronometers, one watch, compasses and pedometers. All were carefully controlled by each other from time to time. The watch, however, got out of order. "We had all the modern instruments which other explorers have had, including thermometers, barometers and sextants of the latest models. It is possible that our observations were better than those of earlier days, but I do not assert that I am perfectly familiar with making astronomical observations, especially in the polar regions. I think, however, that all explorers will be satisfied with my data. "Why should I sit down and invent observations?" he exclaimed. "I did not do this thing for anything but sport, and because I take a real inter- FRENCH AVIATOR KILLED. Juvis-Sur-Orge, France.—E. Lefebvre, the French aviator, was killed by a fall from his aeroplane, in which he was practicing over the aviation field here. The cause of the accident remains a mystery. The machine left the ground easily, and flew around the aerodome at a height of about 20 feet, making the turn gracefully. Suddenly it tilted sharply downward, and struck the ground with great violence. The aviator was pitched out on his head and lay unconscious amidst the wreckage of the machine. est in the problem. It would not do me any good to invent these things. The only witnesses I had were two Eskimos. Certainly Eskimos? Certainly, but in all polar expeditions observations have been made by one man. I regard the Eskimos as much more intelligent in finding positions than the white can in the Arctic. These people, as a rule, are not absolutely ignorant. They know that the earth is round. They have a name for the Pole, which they call the 'Big Nail'. They appreciate the work of explorers when participating therein. I think Rasmussen has obtained some information regarding my expeditions from the Eskimos who have learned it from the two with me. Rasmussen was there much later, and his information will be published shortly. "Concerning the ice around the pole so far as I could see, it was slightly more active there than at one or two degrees south. It drifted somewhat more to the south and east. Its general character' is not very different from that at other places. We stayed around the pole for two days, making many observations. I do not claim to have put my finger on the exact spot. I do not claim to have put my foot on it, but personally I think we have seen a lot of it. When the observations have been figured out again, it is possible that there will be found slight errors and differences, but I am certain that a gunshot fired from where we were would have passed over the pole. "We planted the stars and stripes at what we believed to be the pole, but didn't leave the flag with a staff. Instead, I placed a small silk flag in a cylinder with my card, and the record of the journey with the date. The drift ice may carry the flag away, but to me that is a matter of indifference. I should have been very glad to have found land there. "I am quite prepared to place my observations before any geographical society in the world. I think there is no doubt about my obtaining authoritative recognition. I have already received telegrams from the geographical societies of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Belgium and other countries which publish me the竿 Amunsen, Nordenskjold, Cagnia and Lecointe have acknowledged my work. I offer my observations to science the sams as other men have done, and I accept the responsibility. "As to the temperature at the pole, it was minus 38. I took about 400 photographs, one of which shows the American flag flying. These, as yet, have not been developed." Questioned regarding his great speed, Dr. Cook said: "The daily distance covered on the northwest trip was slightly less than fifteen'miles; on the southward trip it was 10 miles. This is not an abnormal distance for Eskimos on the ice. They often travel fifty or sixty miles with dogs. One of the greatest advantages of our trip was that I did not take a famine route. We had long time, perhaps for a hundred miles. We fed our dogs well throughout the winter in Greenland, and ran them 400 miles, giving them fresh meat every day. Thus we brought them to the polar sea fat and well. We had the best men and the best dogs. "We lived entirely on dried meat and beef tallow, reducing the food problem to a science. The last trace of animals we saw was a bear track at $3 degrees. Afterwards we did not see life even in the water, except Algae. The drift of the ice during the entire southern trip was slightly south of east; the direction of the wind was generally south of west. We found several of Sverdrup's old camps. The reason we utilized silk tents on some occasions was that we were so exhausted that we had not strength to build a snow shed. We had carefully figured and planned everything, so that there was no surplus weight to carry. We did not run short except when we went astray. "During the expedition we ate all kinds of meat. I like musk ox best, but we would eat bear or fox if the other was not obtainable. Everything tastes good when one is starving. We brought ten dogs back with us, the others having been eaten by their companions. We used the lasso, traps and bows and arrows to catch game. We two months to learn how to trap a moose. One of the men shot an elder duck with arrows." Dr. Cook concluded his observations with a reference to the kind way he had been treated by the king, who was greatly interested in his adventures. Tom Johnson Wins. Cleveland, Ohio. — Incomplete returns from the municipal primary election held here make it practically certain that Tom L. Johnson has for the fifth consecutive time been nominated for mayor of Cleveland by the democrats. His opponent was Dr. F. W. Watz, an alderman. Americans Marooned By Floods. Linares, Mexico.—Marcoued on a mountain a mile and a half from the Santa Ana ranch house, where they were forced to flee by the rapidly rising waters, J. E. Goodward and Stuart Bryan, American owners of the ranch, are believed to be starving to death. REPORT ON SOIL YIELD. Government Report Shows That Soils Are Not Wearing Out. Washington, D. C.-Soils of the United States are not wearing out and the crop yields are rather increasing than decreasing. These facts are demonstrated in a bulletin issued by the bureau of soils of the agricultural department, prepared by Professor Milton Whitney, chief of the bureau. The bulletin deals exhaustively with the yields of crops from 1867 to 1906, inclusive. "A careful study of the date which has been presented appears to justify two conclusions," says Professor Whitney. "First, that the productivity of the newer agricultural soils of the United States and of the older agricultural soils of Europe, taken as a whole, and for the nation, are not illing, as is popularly supposed. Individual farming deteriorates and soils wear out, as they have always done, but as a whole, it seems probable that we are producing more crops per acre than formerly. "Second, that so far as our information goes, there is apparently no significant difference at the present time between the composition of the old agricultural soils of Europe and the newer agricultural soils of the United States, with respect to potash, phosphoric acid, lime and magnesia." The bulletin gives averages by states for the production of wheat per acre from 1668 to 1907. The first three are: Vermont 18:5 bushels; Maine, 16:5; New York, 13.7. Southern states mentioned have the following averages; Maryland, 13.3; Missouri, 12.2; Texas, 11.5; Virginia, 9.1; Arkansas, 8.9; Tennessee, 8.2; Mississippi, 8.1; Alabama, 7.6; Georgia, 7.1; North Carolina, 6.9; South Carolina, 6.6. GENERAL GRANT A TEETOTALER. Would Give His Life to Free Country of Whisky Curse, Chicago, Ill.-Major General Frederick D. Grant, who is to lead the temperance parade here September 25, was quoted by the Rev. T. F. Dornblazer, pastor of Grace English Lutheran Church, in addressing a union rally of temperance people at Willard Hall, as saying: "Tell young men that General Grant does not drink a drop of liquor and has, not for eighteen years, because he is afraid to drink. I tried to drink with extreme moderation, because I knew that alcohol is the worst poison that a man can take into his system, but I found that it was an absolute impossibility to drink moderately. Because moderate drinking is an impossibility, I became an absolute teetotaler—a crank, if you please. I will not allow it in my house. Drink is the greatest curse of mankind, because practically all the crime and disaster are result of it. Ninety-five per cent of the deaths of soldiers in the army are due to drink. If I could, by offering my body as a sacrifice, free this country from the fell cancer—the demon drink—I'd thank the Almighty for the privilege of doing it. If I had the greatest appetitive power in the country, no man would get even the smallest appointment from me unless he showed proof of his absolute teetotalism. As it is, of the member of my state, you touches a drink, they know better. ENGLISH-GERMAN WAR PREDICTED. Winnipeg, Manitoba—Lord Northcliffe, owner of the London Times, in an interview here, predicted war between Germany and Great Britain. He said in the Krupp works alone one hundred thousand men are working night and day and on Sundays, preparing for war. Lord Northcliffe said: "I will make the suggestion, with a respect to the Canadians who are investing their money and labor in constructing railroads and building grain elevators, that they keep an eye on European affairs, and begin to figure out why it is all the shipbuilding yards in Germany are busy constructing rapid cruisers and first-class battleships, and why it is that Krupp's works have increased their hands to over 100,000 men, nearly the population of Winnipeg?" His conviction is that war can only be averted by most complete and thorough preparation on the side of Great Britain. He said that some Canadians have Utopian views, and think such war a crime. "The Germans don't think so," he continued. "They have a magnificent army and the second navy in the world, and they ask what these things are for. "They are a thrifty people. They made an immense sum of money out of their last great war. "They will fight or threaten again when they think that it will pay." He sald that some observers believed such a war might begin by 1912. NEEDLE PIERCED GIRL'S HEART. : Instrument Dropped Down Her Throat While in Dentist's Chair, Pittsburg, Pa.-Her_heart stabbed by a needle swallowed while in a dental chair, Miss Stella Levy, died in great agony at her home. She had gone to a dentist, who injected some fluid in her gums to stop the pain, and the needle accidentally slipping from the hands of the dentist, passed down her throat. She was seized with violent fits of coughing, and the steel plerced the lung tissue and the heart casing and every beat of the heart brought a stab from the needle. Her suffering was intense despite the efforts of physicians to leviate the pain. PEARY ALSO FOUND POLE Another Arctic Explorer Finds the Apex of the Earth. "Stars and Stripes Nailed to the North Pole," Lieutenant Perry Wires the Associated Press. PEARY FOUND POLE ON 6TH OF APHIL, 1909. "Indian Harbor, via Cape Ray, N. F.-To Associated Press, New York: Stars and Stripes nailed the North Pole. "(Signed) PEARY." "Indian Harbor, via Cape Ray, N. F.-Herbert 'L. Bridgman, N. Y.: Pole reached. Roosevelt safe. "(Signed) PEARY." New York City.—Peary has succeeded. "Stars and Stripes nailed to the North Pole." From out the Arctic darkness there was fanned this message which stunned the scientific world and thrilled the heart of every layman. From the coast of Labrador, Robert E. Peary gave to the world his news that he had attained his goal in the far north while at the same moment in far off Denmark Dr. Frederick A. Cook of Brooklyn was being honized by royalty for the same achievement. Undeniably Yankee grit has conquered the frozen north and there has been created a coincidence such as the world may never see again. Two Americans planted the flag of their country in the land of ice which man has sought to penetrate for four centuries, and each ignorant of the other's conquest has nashed within a period of five days a laconic message of success to the waiting world. First word of Peary's success reached New York in a dispatch to the Associated Press. It contained the bare announcement of his finding the pole. Almost simultaneously he had transmitted the news to London. At the same time he similarly advised the governor of Newfoundland. Both the old and the new world were thus, apprised of his great achievement practically at the same moment, and the excitement which followed attested to the high pitch of interest aroused over this climax of man's perseverance. Newpaper extras were fushed from the press and those who read marveled at the twist of the universe which had snatched the ice mask from the north in a manner so srange. Copenhagen, Denmark—Copenhagen was electrified by the report of Commander Peary's announcement that he had rescued the North Pole. Dr. Cook was immensely interested and said: "That is good news. I hope Peary did get to tie pole. His observations and reports on that region will confirm mine." It is doubtful if history furnishes a more dramatic episode than the breaking of the news to Dr. Cook that Peary had realized the goal of his life's ambition, and repeated struggles. Dr. Cook was seated at a dinner surrounded by explorers amid that Peary's swimmer went around that Peary had planted the Stars and Stripes at the pole. Dr. Cook did not permit the, whispers which came to his ears of Peary's success to move him in the least. He was surrounded by correspondents, who looked for some sign of emotion, but the explorer said, smilingly: "I am glad." Asked if there was any probability of Peary's having found the tube containing his records, Dr. Cook replied; "I hope so, but that is doubtful on account of the drift." Dr. Cook added; "Commander Peary reached the pole this year probably; while I was there last year. His route was several hundred miles east of mine. We are rivals, of course; but the pole is big enough for two. "That two men got to the pole along different paths," continued the explorer, "should furnish large additions to scientific knowledge. Probably other parties will reach it in the next ten years since every explorer is helped by the experiences of his predecessors, just as Sverdrun's observations and reports were of measurable help to me. I can say nothing more without knowing, further details, than that I am glad of it." WILL NOT MOVE HOLY SEPULCHER! Plus X Says Relie Belongs to Tradition and History of Jerusalem. Washington, D. C.-Mgr. Diomede Falconcio, papal delegate to the United States who recently visted Rome, denied that Pope Plus X had set on his duty to be the only sepulcher from Jerusalem to Rome. He further asserted that popo would be the very last person to consent to the change. His holiness on more than on occasion has placed himself on record that the holy sepulcher is essentially a relic that belongs to the history and tradition of Jerusalem and that moving it even to Rome would the angst of the gravest character. ©, 7 Largest Sick and: Death Benefits; Smailest Premiums.

Flotsam crept quietly to the old derelict that had been beached high and dry years before and stretched himself out on the sand in its shade. To be without kith or kif at six is a hard proposition, but to be six and have a round, baby face framed in a mass of golden curls, besides being so small that one looks scarcely four, is a harder proposition still, and the little boy who was trying so hard to choke back the tears that would gather in his eyes despite his utmost efforts to prevent them realized it only too well. When old Uncle Ben, the lighthouse keeper who had rescued him, dled the winter before, big, good-natured Ned Grant had kindly taken the little fellow home, but the winter had been a hard one for the Grants and Flotsam knew that they could keep him no longer. If he was only larger and older, he thought, or if someone would come for him as Uncle Ben said they would, if the someone would only be his Lady, his Lady that came to him so otter in his dreams, and who called him—but he never could seem to remember what she did call him, for when she held out her arms to him she always faded away before he could reach her. He would awaken with the echo of her voice in his ears, but what she had called him or who she was he never could remember. Uncle Ben had found him all alone in a little boat floating out to sea one morning after a big storm, and had named him Flotisam. He was all that was ever found of some boat that must have gone to pieces on the rocks. The old lighthouse keeper believed it to have been a private yacht and that friends would come some day in search of survivors or for news of the wreck. But four years had rolled away, the fourth taking Uncle Ben with it, and as yet no one had come. If he could stay there a little longer, he thought, perhaps the Lady would come, but they were to take him to the city in the morning and put him out for adoption, then he was sure she could never find him. The tears that he had fought back all day could be restrained no longer, and burying his face in the sleeve of his little blouse he gave way to grief until at last he sobbed himself to sleep. When Flotsam opened his eyes an hour later he found, that he was no longer alone, for two men were leaning against the old wreck. Their backs were toward him, but he knew they were strangers, and wondered if they were not the people that were to occupy the pretty cottage on the cliff that summer. He was about to steal quietly away when he caught a bit of their conversation which caused him to pause. "Yes," one of the men was saying, "I would advise you to adopt a little boy about the age of the child you lost. The sea will help her some, but the child will bring back her memory if anything will." "Do you happen to know of any child, doctor?" asked his companion, a big man with dark, sad-looking eyes and hair tinged with gray. "I cannot promise to adopt it at first, but if it will help bring my wife back to her old self I will take one for the summer at least, though it will be mighty hard to see another in my little son's place." "No," answered the doctor, "I have no child in mind, but when I get back in town I'll look around and see what I can do." Flotsam waited no longer. Here was a man who wanted a little boy to adopt, and he was a little boy to be put out for adoption. He came from behind the wreck, trembling but brave, and faced the two men. "Couldn't you please take me instead of getting a little boy in town?" he asked. "You see, I've got to be 'dopted, and I don't like to leave here just yet, 'cause I'm waiting for my Lady to come." "Why, why!!" exclaimed the doctor, good naturally. "So you want to be adopted. Don't you suppose your mother would object, young man?" Flotsam shook his head. "I don't exactly want to be," he answered, "but you see I haven't any father or mother; I'm just Flotsam, 'cause Uncle Ben found me in a boat and took me to live in his lighthouse. He's dead now, though, and nobody wants me, so I've got to be 'dopted.' Just then a breeze caught Flotsam's shabby and blew it from his head, revealing a mass of tangled golden curls. The big man, who had been listening eagerly to the child's words, grasped the doctor's arm. "Doctor," he whispered huskily, "doctor, that boy has the hair and eyes of my wife; he says he was found in a boat. Can it be possible—doctor, say there's a chance." "Steady, man, steady," said the doctor, then turning to the eager looking child. "So you're Flotsam, are you? and who is the lady you are waiting for?" "Well," answered Flotsam, "she comes in dreams now, but I thought she might come here some day looking for me, 'cause Uncle Ben said—but he went no further. In a wheelchair pushed by a white-capped nurse was a lady coming along the beach. With eyes fixed upon her as one fascinated Flotsam crept slowly toward the chair, while the doctor restrained the man by his side. The lady had been listlessly watching the sea, but now she turned, and her eyes met those of the little fellow before her. "Oh!" he almost shrieked in his excitement. "Now, I know—it's—it's Mumsi!" The woman sprang from her chair "Laddle," she cried in a dazed sort of way, "Laddle, no, you are too large for my Laddle, but, but—Oh," she sobbed, "I remember now—the storm—the rocks—my Laddle!—I've lost my baby." Her husband was at her side, trying to explain. "Edith, it is all right, dear," he said unsteadily. "You have been ill, and Laddie has been lost—but I think—I think we have found him. This little boy—" But Edith was not listening. She had slipped to her knees by the boy, searching his face for familiar features. Pushing back his hair she hunted until she found a tiny scar, then she caught the child in her arms. "My little son," she murmured, "my Laddie grown big." After a few moments she raised a tear stained face to her husband and held out her hand. As he looked into her eyes he saw that the old listless expression had vanished, and with a glad, happy cry, though tears glistened in his eyes, he caught them both, Flotsam and his Lady, in his arms. "God is good," he whispered. "He has restored both my treasures when I had given up all hope."—Boston Post. The Most Wonderful Highway Ever Bullet. BY GRETA BRYAR. Standing at the edge of the road running over the top of Fish-Creek Hill, out in Arizona, you can slip a pebble from your fingers and it will shoot almost straight down a thousand feet without stopping. But for the fact that the government, has built it broad and comfortable, with easy grades and many safe turnouts, it would be simply terrifying to go over this road. You have no need to be told that road-building in a country such as this was difficult, for as soon as you learned what was meant by the Salt River project, you understand that Uncle Sam had undertaken a tremendous job. But like everything else he has ever set himself about doing, he is carrying it through admirably. A more difficult task, however, was never undertaken than building the road over Fish Creek Hill. The engineer himself, after the surveying party reached the top, called a halt. For he wanted time to think over the problem staring him in the face, and which certainly demanded thought. Looking over the cliff he saw into a blind canon, where there was not even a foot-trail. A tiny stream of water, and a few green trees were barely discernable a thousand feet below. But how to get there with a wagon road, over which tons and tons of machinery must be hauled, was another question. To go around the canon meant adding fifteen miles to the road, which was not to be thought of. The only thing, he found, was to blast a road down the face of the steep cliff, which was no sooner decided upon than it was undertaken. And the result is a great thoroughfare built for forty miles through the heart of a rugged range of mountains, and for the most part literally carved from the living rock. The most wonderful highway ever built by man. It is not to be wondered that the early Indians, uneducated as they were, viewed the country round about here with superstition and awe. For everywhere a panorama of mountains, steep-walled canons, and narrow valleys are spread out to the sight. And then the colors which come and go upon these rocks and stones as the changing light sheds its varying glow upon the morning scene, or the golden glory of a sunset impresses its splendor upon the wonderful range of vision! For in some places the road over Fish Creek Hill was cut from a rock that is milkwhite, and again in places the mountaintop was blasted off, and the road built from the river up, while a little further on there is a long swing on the edge of a profound gorge, and climbing higher, every step telling of the difficult problem which has been successfully worked out in road-building, until finally the wonderful highway comes to the top of the narrow gorge the Salt River has cut through the mountains, and you look down upon one of the world's greatest engineering works in process of construction—the Rooseviev dam, against which the turbulent stream will beat itself to stillness and create the largest artificial lake in the world. An eccentric country squirre agreed to employ an equally eccentric rustic to rid his mansion of its plague of files, the terms being board, lodging and beer for three days. At the end of this period there were more files than ever and the squirre interrogated his new employee thus: "Why ever haven't you made a safari? You contracted to kill all the files." "I'm waiting for you, guv'nor," retorted the wily rustic: "you've got to catch 'em' first. I only promised to kill 'em.'"—London Daily News. OF INTEREST TO WOMEN 1 New York City.—The misses' coat that is finished with a belt, giving a suggestion of the Norfolk idea, is one of the latest and smartest. It will be SINGLE BREASTED COAT worn during the between-seasons time and the early autumn, and is adapted to every material appropriate to the season. This one, made of serge, is finished with a collar of satin in matching color, but the coat is adapted to the separate wrap as well as it is to the entire suit, and if liked it can be worn without the belt as shown in the smaller view. The coat is made with fronts, side-fronts, back and side backs. The seams extend to the shoulders, so giving slender and becoming lines and the shawl collar finishes to neck. The sleeves are in regulation coat style. When the belt is used it is slipped through slashes, which are cut and bound on indicated lines, and there are the patch pockets which make such a feature of the season arranged over the side-fronts. The quantity of material required for the sixteen-year size is five and a half yards twenty-seven, two and three-quarter yards forty-four or two and three-eighth yards fifty-two inches wide with one-quarter yard of satin for collar. The amethyst tones from deep to lightt are in the height of fashion. W Amethyst the Color. At the Paris theatres it was shown that the dressmakers there have gone quite wild; over amethyst. Both tones of this semi-precious stone are used. There is the deep, rich purple and the pale hyacinth. Both are popular, and are brought out in every kind of fabric. Lovely as these shades are, they will not stand the sun. The heat draws the amethyst out of the fabric and leaves it dirty gray. Tucked Blouse. The simple tucked blouse is always a smart and a useful one. This model has the advantage of allowing a choice of sleeves of two lengths, and it will be found appropriate for every material thin enough to be laid in small tucks. It is just as well adapted to the entire gown as it is to the odd blouse, and it is altogether as practical as any waist of the season. The tucks are tiny, providing just sufficientfulness to be becoming, and the neck can be finished as illustrated or with a stock collar as liked. Mercerized batiste is the material illustrated. The blouse is made with fronts and back. The sleeves are made in one piece each, and when three-quarter length is desired are gathered S into straight cuffs or bands. The neck can be finished with a neck band or regulation stock collar. The quantity of material required for the medium size is three and three-quarter yards twenty-one or twenty-four, two and three-quarter yards thirty-two or two and an eighth yards forty-four inches wide with one and a quarter yards of banding, two yards of edging. The much-ribbed parasol, called the "Japanese," is very prominent this season. 1 Chamols Gloves. Chamols gloves in cream color and pale yellow are extremely smart with tailored suits of wool or mohair, but when the weather is very warm nothing but a silk glove is bearable. Conceal the Ears. Many of the very newest styles of dressing the hair entirely conceal the ears. These are invariably the modes which include the centre parting. "Doing to-day's duty and meeting to-day's emergency is what makes history." Any lad studying history in the high school knows that when it comes to knowledge within the covers of his books. The heroes of history are those who did their duty at the right moment, and the historic failures are the men and women who did not meet emergency promptly. Luther did his duty, and Henry the Eighth did not. Lincoln proved himself quite equal to every emergency. Stephen A. Douglas did not. Henry of Navarre united France by his decision and courage. The Bourbons brought on the French Revolution by their vices and their weak unreadiness. All the history ever made so far teaches righteousness and readiness as necessary for heroes and nations. But the lad who knows all this does not often apply it to the unmade history among which he is moving, and which he is himself helping to make. He keeps on believing that a little shirking does not hurt; that a wrong act has no consequences; that a decision can safely be postponed, and so on. So all the others—the others that were failures—thought in the days when they were making history for the boy to study. They never intended to fall any more than he does. But they did fall, and for the very reasons that will make him fall if he does not change his ways. The decision that many lads postpone is whether they shall be Christians or not. They think they will be, some day, but not now. And meanwhile duty comes every day and is not done as unto God; and emergencies which require consecration are not met. Nobility dies out; life becomes selfish and small. Another failure—and the failure's own fault. History goes on and leaves him off her roll of the heroes and the workers. But he could have been there—that's the pity of it! Where Two Wives Are Better Than One. ```markdown ``` In his article in Harper's Magazine on "The Home Life of the Eskimo" V. Stefaussson, the ethnologist, tells of a conversation, with his Eskimo host, explaining his reasons for requiring two wives. "It was after dinner one evening that I asked Ovayauk why he had two wives while no other man in the country had more than one. That was, he said, because he was a prominent man, had a big household and many visitors continually. A few years ago his wife, Anaratzlak, had said to hfm: 'I am becoming old now; my first daughter will soon be married; there is much work in preparing food for all your guests. Why don't you get a young wife who can help me with the housework?' 'That was why he married Illerok, who is young and strong.' But Illerok is not so important as Anaratzlak. See how Illerok cooks the fish, put them on a platter and brings them to Anaratzlak so she may pleck out for herself and her favorite son as many of the heads and tails as she likes. Illerok does what she is told, for she is the younger wife.' And hever did two women get along more amicably together than these two wives of Ovayauk's." Romance of the Ring. When you see the diamond engagement ring encircling the snow-white finger of a girl you may think it was slipped on to the accompaniment of a many voice saying, "You are mine." Nothing in it. The girl has worked and schemed for that solitaire diamond, and many times had to come out and ask for it. At least, an Atchison woman who has a good deal of experience says if a man can get out of giving an engagement ring he will. She says she was engaged a whole year and he did not mention engagement ring until one evening she said to him, "Jim, aren't you going to give me an engagement ring?" He said, "I had not thought of it; what kind do you want?" She told him a solitaire diamond. He was quite poor, and so said, "You don't want much." But he gave it to her. In such cases a man is in the same position as when a skillful agent gets hold of him—he is worked before he knows it.—Atchison Globe. Perfectly Natural History. A party of young men were camping and to avert annoying questions they made it a rule that the one who asked a question that he could not answer himself had to do the cooking. One evening, while sitting around the fire, one of the boys asked, "Why is it that a ground-squirrel never leaves any dirt at the mouth of its burrow?" They all guessed and missed. So he was asked to answer it himself. he was asked so answer it mislead. "Why," he said, "because they always begin to dig at the other end of the hole." "But," one asked, "how does he get to the other end of the hole?" "Well," was the reply, "that's your question."—Cleveland Leader.

There was a girl in Paris— She wore no Paris gown; Cohoes, I guess, Turned on that dress, All lines, straight up and down.

She worked by streaks For weeks and weeks; The big Salon took two. And when her first check reached her From some grandee in Rome, She fell dead beat. In the Rue du Fittre— A danseuse drove her home. They fel her milk like a baby, And in a week, by gad, She wished For colors and brush, And was painting again like mad.

The Queen of Denmark once paid a visit to the Danish colony of Iceland, where the good old bishop exerted himself to the utmost to show her everything that was worth seeing. The Queen paid many compliments to her host, and, having learned that he was a family man, graciously inquired how many children he had. It happens that the Danish word for "children" is almost identical in sound with the Icelandic word for "sheep," and the worthy bishop promptly answered, "Two hundred." "Two hundred children?" cried the Queen. "How can you possibly maintain such a number?" "Easily enough, please Your Majesty," replied the prelate, with a cheerful smile. "In the summer I turn them out upon the hill to grass and when winter comes I kill and eat them."—Montreal Standard. Turtle Still on the Card Hurricane Still on the Card. It is true that both in London and Paris dinners are quite brief, but this is nothing very new. The transition from long menus, which has been gradual, has been going on for several years. It is more of a revelation to London, where the old fashioned dinner was a terrible penance. A few people still keep it up, and turtle is still popular in the city at public banquets, and savories and other messes are eaten—From Vogue. Ruskin's dislike to tobacco is believed to have arisen from the fact that it is a comparatively modern discovery. There was no tobacco in the middle ages. He connected "the noxious weed" with the decline of England as an art-producing country. --- SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Remittance must be made by Express or Post Office Money Order, or Registered Letter.

Now comes Commander Peary announcing his reaching the apex of the world. Peary's feat appeals especially to us because with him a Negro stood. UNDER the disfranchisement law voters are allowed to vote if they are descendants of participants in the several wars of this country, or if they can pass the educational test; or if they own five hundred dollars worth of property; or if they reside on not less than fifty acres of land.

THE United States government is preparing for the taking of the census next year. Heretofore our people have paid but little attention to the importance of securing data relative to their numbers, worth, etc. Whenever the enumerators come around we must be in a position to give the fullest possible information, not alone as to our numbers, but as to wealth, etc. Especially should this matter apply to our farmers. By this census we will be considerably judged. LAST week in one of the Southern states a colored man was accused of some crime. Lynchers were bent to put him to death. Being unable to find him, they substituted his brother, and lynched him. How indignant every American would become if a similar crime was committed in a foreign country. But here in civilized (?) America such crimes continue without notice and no attempt is made to bring the lawless ones to justice. BEGINNING with the issue of Sept. 4, The Outlook will publish weekly six series of articles on "The Story of the Negro." The article published last week was "The African at Home." It is lucidly written and contains information that all race lovers are anxious to get, and too, put to thinking those who look with discredit on us as a race. This and all of the articles should be read. The Outlook is only five cents per week. A GREAT help and source of inspiration for good to any community is a high toned christian minister. One in whom the public can place implicit trust. To whom the members can go for advice when in distress, and morally is above reproach. The time is ripe for our churches to put down that class of ministers denoted as moral lepers, who do not pay their just debts and in whose words no confidence can be placed and too, are not true lovers of the moral law. These men cannot be true followers of the law and meekly One, and their work amount to nothing but pollution. Our people will be no better off until all of the pulpits contain truly moral ministers. First Be Sure You Are Right Then Go Ahead. SAVANNAH TRUSTE: Kind Journal. With the State against the Negro secret orders and the unkind feelings existing among the members themselves, it is to be feared, that these two forces will do much harm; while the first cannot destroy the true principles of fraternal brotherhood, the latter has power to destroy both name and principle, for a house divided against itself cannot stand. When the Negro secret orders lived by the "conscience of right in the sight of both man and God," those were days of true chivalry among the Negroes; their motto was as the writer says. "We live in deeds, not years, in thoughts not breaths, in the forms on a dial. not breathes, In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should mark time by heart throbs: he most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best. Life's but a means unto an end, that end meant true love and sympathy, that is what the outside world thought, for it heard no scandalizing, no defamation of character coming from them. It was in such days of fraternal unity that the noble heartie Rev. Alexander Harris, with the beloved Col. John H. Deveaux and others put forth one of the greatest efforts ever germinated in the heart of man, and succeeded in influencing the Negro "Jasons of Georgia to erect a monument that not only bespeaks glory for them but for the whole race, and it is by the example of the young men, that R Butler the Moss Worshipful Grand Master, can annually master his forces of loyal Masons into two days' conclave and despatch the business of the Grand Lodge with such rapidity and Christian decorum, that always speaks well for the officers and members of that order. If there is any "buckling" among them, these men are conservative enough to keep it within barred doors. Nothing so weakens the respect of any order, or any family greater than airing it “differences” to the public. If the Negro followed more the Golden Rule given by God, and endeavored to sow more deeds of kindness, instead of planting more points of humor among societies, it would work out well for the success of the race. Too often the mote is seen in the brother's eye, but when it comes to self, the great beam is not descramable. “Their own defects invisible to them Seen in another, they at once condeum. And though, self idolized in every case, Hate their own likeness in another's face" If this shameful controversy that is now going on in these secret orders in Georgia: the branding of some of our leaders as "scoundrels" and the condescending of professional men, disrobbing themselves of the dignity of their profession and for the sake of empty honor or satanic graft, scandalizing their opponents had been kept from the public until "you were sure you were right" the State of Georgia could not have invented such unjust drastic laws against them. "Those of us who have any race pride have been made to feel much humiliated by this quarrel, by the slandering of the "brighter lights." We call them thus, because you made them leaders, and any accusation true or false that is brought against them, only brings shame upon the whole race. Why not use more good common sense and intelligent observation in detecting a "traitor" even in high positions, and do not make the motion think that it takes the Negro years of "bickering," loss of "treasury," and destruction of manhood before he can find out a rascal. Have no favoritism in dealing justice but burl him from his underserved position, but first be sure you are right then go ahead; iiring an honest and just man's name may be wrongly branded, and sown far and near by the "unmeriful," for a man's honor is his all. When condemning others always apply the "Golden Rule." Do not think that all members of these secret orders are the most interested, equally so are their families, who want to see more monuments erected in the form of homes for your aged brethren, and for the widows and orphans of the deceased members. Voicing the sentiment of the families of these orders, we extend congratulation to those who have fought and conquered, hoping that you bribed no weaker brother for his vote; that your election was fairly and honestly won; and that you may use the "gavel" with justice to friend and foie alike; for the great God above watches your every act; it is a just, but fearful retribution to feel the pangs of remorse for the unfairness in dealing with others, especially the unfortunate. The good that the secret orders have done for the Negro can never be told, with the endowment money, many a widow rests under her own humble shelter in peace, many an orphan is cared for and protected from the temptations that would have lured him from the path of righteousness. May the dove of peace again rest upon these orders, may you quit yourselves like noble men, always valuing a spot less reputation, not only for yourselves, but also for your fellowmen. May your fellowship of love be extended to all, but more especially to your brethren; and at the last call of the roll you can marshal your host, which you lead on earth presenting to God those whom you captained fearlessly, honorably and rightly.

The text was from Heb. 1:14. The subject was "The ministry of Angels." The sermon was an excellent consolation to Christians. He drew beautiful pictures of the different positions of the angels in Heaven and the various stations they hiled. He told the Christians that no matter how poor and humble you are God will send the angels to console you when in trouble if you serve him earnestly and truthfully. The choir sang very sweetly "Remember he memereth me." Rev Wright led the beautiful hymn "Amazing sight the Saviour stands." He made some fine illustration while inviting sinners to the mercy seat.

Several years ago a number of our well known citizens purchased from the Waring estate nearly the entire block of lots on Anderson, between Price and East Broad Sts, for the purpose of making it an exclusive block for wellbuilt homes and select neighbors. The owners of these lots, many of whom have had erected commodious homes far back from the street lines, with shrubbies, etc., and grass plats on either side of the side walk. No other block in that section was so arranged and the residents were proud of the appearance of the same. In some manner one of the lots was reverted to Mr. Waring who is now building on a thirty feet front two small houses, and too, jam up on the street line, thus ruining the lines of the other houses and destroying the appearance of the entire block. Naturally the residents are indignant, and they do not think kindly of the owner. Mr. Waring should have been interested in the improvement of this locality and refrained from erecting such tenements and especially destroying the looks of the entire block. Services Well Attended.

For First Class Shoe Repairing GO TO The Atlanta Sho Shop What precisely is the origin of the expression "a windfall," which Mr. Asquith, Lord Averybury and others use, each with an application of his own, in speaking of budget matters? An old encyclopedia explains" that some families of the English nobility held their land on a tenure which forbade them to cut down trees, these being reserved as the property of the royal navy. But any tree which fell down without human assistance they might keep, so that a hurricane causing a great "windfall" was heartily welcome. It seems probable, however, that the expression was simpler in origin. Even an apple that fell to the ground without the trouble of picking it, and which a passerbly might often annex without feeling that he was a thief, would be a lucky "windfall."

THOE That when stock most need medicines they are less inclined to take it, and though needing nourishment have but little desire for it, and even this is often destroyed by medicines being placed in the food. IS IT NOT ALSO TRUE That when stock feel badly they erase salt more than at other time? Then why is not our system of giving medicine in salt the simplest, surest and best? The disagreeable taste of the medicine is overcome when given in the salt, which is not true when placed in the feed. Our plan is the common language one, as it insures stock taking more medicine than when given in the other wasteful and to them disagreeable manner. We give children medicine in sweets because they like the sweets, on the same theory why not give stock medicine in salt The Farm Room For Chicks. See that the chicks have ample quarters in which not only to roost, but to stay in stormy days. It is cruel to keep chicks in crowded quarters, either day or night, and it is the owner's fault if they do not do well under such circumstances. Give them plenty of room and keep their quarters clean and well ventilated. It will pay.-Farmers' Home Journal. Cutaway Harrow. A cutaway harrow is a good thing for 'an orchard.'

In replying to a correspondent, A.M., whose eggs are hatching; badly (in the incubator we presume), Mr. Clipp gives the following advice: Without doubt your eggs required additional moisture. Carefully remove the eggs from the nest and molsten with luke warm water. The eggs can be molstened each day from the eighteenth day of incubation.

Of course, the harvesters you can buy will do more and quicker work and are what you want if you have much corn to cut, but the homemade affair we show here with fills a place with the small farmer and is comparatively inexpensive. The Wild Onion. L. W. J. asks if there is any way to get rid of wild onions. He says he is getting them pretty bad on his farm, and that corning the land does not seem to get rid of them. There is no easy way to get rid of the wild onion or garlic unless you can turn them under, harrow the ground and sow it in buckwheat or some other vigorous growing plant. If they are not too widely spread, buy a spud, a narrow bladed spade, and hire the children to dig them out one by one:—Indiana Farmer. Air and Water. Air is just as necessary an element in the soil as the water, but both must be there in proper quantities. If there is too much air and too little moisture nitrification beases. If there is too much moisture and too little air the effect is the same. From ten years' experience and observation we have concluded that a certain chemical action must be practically continuous in the soil during the growing season if we are to grow the largest crops. This chemical action is unquestionably dependent upon just a certain ideal or perfect condition of the soil—a physical condition that will carry in the soil just the ideal quantity of both air and water—and then as soon as the soil becomes sufficiently warm nature's work be ins.—Campbell's Farmer. -Animals That Aid Forestry. Every farmer is thoroughly conversant with the fact that, if the land along fences is not carefully attended, it does not take long for a hedge of birfers and young forest trees to appear. This is so for several reasons: The forest tree seeds, and as they are borne by the winds, are brought to a sudden stop by the fence and are dropped upon the ground to sprout and take root. The fence makes an excellent resting place for birds as they move about from place to place, and to this structure they bring fruit, berries and seeds for their daily feasts, when such foods will algal contain very valuable, timber, the bird and rodent mammal citizens of the woodlands will have contributed a great deal forward this promising optlook. H. S. C. in the Indian Farmer. --- A man who had a small farm set up on edge so he could work both sides of the hill and a local place big enough to set up a poultry house, so he built off one's side hill sloping to the south. Because the upper end was nearest the barn he put a door in the north end of the poultry house, so he could put straw in easily. He found that it wasn't necessary to scatter the straw around. He discovered that the hens would scratch the straw down hill the whole length of the house, and by the time it got to the bottom it was pretty well worn to bits, so all he had to do was pitch it out and call it manure, and pretty good manure it was. He called the house his automatic poultry house, and it came about as near being automatic as anything in the poultry line, except the hen itself. It is often said that laziness won't work well in the poultry yard. This probably is true in the abstract, but laziness in this particular case apparently worked all right. The man simply took advantage of the hen's activity, and supplied them with material to work off their surplus energy.—Epilomist. Advantages of the Silo. The Missouri Station summarizes the value of the silo as follows: the valids or the and so as to stock stock thrift and showing all winter 2. It produces fat beef more cheaply than does dry feed. 3. It enables cows to produce milk and butter more economically. 4. Silage is more conveniently handled than dry fodder. 5. The silo prevents waste of corn-stalks, which contain about one-third the food value of the entire crop. 6. There are no aggravating corn-stalks in the manure when silage is fed. 7. The silo will make palatable food of stuff that would not otherwise be eaten. 8. It enables a larger number of animals to be maintained on a given number of acres. 9. It enables the farmer to preserve food which matures at a rainy time of the year, when drying would be next to impossible. 10. It is the most economical method of supplying food for the stock during the hot, dry periods in summer, when the pasture is short. Poultry Experiments The Canadian Experiment Station recently made'some tests with eggs in the incubator from unheated and from warmed houses in March, April and May. The largest percentage of eggs which hatched was noted from those with the incubator filled in May, and in general use the eggs from unheated houses hatched better than those from warmed houses. According to the report received by the Department of Agriculture the "results emphasize the advice given to farmers and other poultry keepers not to select eggs for hatching by incubator or hen until the fowls have had opportunity in spring time to run outside and recuperate from their long term of winter life and treatment." Warm versus cold houses were compared in work undertaken in connection with the founding of hardy and prolific egg-laying strains of fowls. In a warm house the average egg yield per year of 12 Barred Plymouth Rock hens was 66.75 eggs per hen, and of a similar lot in an unheated house 76 eggs per hen. In a house of the same sort with a cotton front scratching shed, the average egg production of 13 White Wyandotte hens was 74.5 eggs per hen, of 9 Buff Orpington pulllets in a warmed house 58 eggs per hen and of 12 White Leghorn pulllets in a warmed house 77.17 eggs per hen. As regards the record of individuals of good and poor strains as shown by trap nests, 5 White Leghorn pulllets of good strain averaged 101.4 eggs per hen in a year and 5 pulllets of poor strain 77.4 eggs per hen. Ratio of Butter Fat Professor E. H. Farrington, the dairy writer, touching many matters of dairy interest, explains the ratio of butter fat in Hoard's Dairyman. He says: "The difference between butter fat and the overrun is the water, salt and curd in the butter. Butter is not the pure butter fat. The substances mixed with butter fat vary from ten to eighteen per cent. with each churning of butter. Butter, as a rule, contains about eighty-two per cent. butter fat, the rest is water, salt and curd, as already mentioned. "The overrun means the excess in weight of the butter over the butter fat in milk or cream from which the butter is made. "If 100 pounds of cream tested forty per cent, fat, this means that there was forty pounds of butter fat in the cream. If the weight of the butter was fifty-five pounds, then the increase is the difference between fifty-five and forty, which is fifteen pounds. The per cent. overrun is then obtained by dividing fifteen by forty and multiplying by 100, which is about thirty-seven per cent. This is an abnormal overrun and shows that the butter must have had a large quantity of water mixed with it. It would be called illegal butter, as genuine butter, according to the United States standard, must not contain over sixteen per cent. water. The usual overrun from cream is about twenty per cent, and thirty-seven per cent, is way beyond the ordinary practice and it would be a fraud for a person to make such butter and place it on the general market." Automobiles and Good Roads Automobiles and Good Roads. In the making of good roads in this country there is always a new mudhole in the way. Wherefore the work moves slowly. There is steady progress toward the desired results, but the most earnest and active figures in the movement can but admit that, considering the amount of energy and brains put into the work in recent years, results are not what they should be. Bad luck, which is apparently sometimes sent to test the metal of men and measures, has waited upon the good roads advocates, and when this fact is considered the degree of success attained by them in many States is evidence of an indomitable resolution and an unfaltering faith in the final triumph of public intelligence. It would seem at times as if the hard roads people work the hardest to get out of one mudhole, as a means of discovering, as soon as possible, how far it may be to the next one. Their curiosity, and untiring energy in satisfying it, has shown that the holes are never far apart. The ancient and universal prejudice in rural districts against the cost of such undertakings has of late years shown some signs of abating. The farmer has had to be shown that the cost would return to him in increased value of lands and better opportunities for getting his product to market at a saving of time, which, with every farmer, as with everybody else, is money. The farmer is a shrewd business man. He has studied the problem closely, and had reached the point of admitting that it had two sides before the inauguration and rapid extension of rural mall delivery gave the good roads advocate another argument with which to appeal to him. The extension of electric lines into farm sections has also contributed something to make the farmer more open to conviction. The objection is no longer as to the disparity between cost and return, but it lies now against "dudes on rubber tires," and there is the mudhole in the good road. It is the crazy automobilist who is turning back the hands of the clock and stopping the wheels of progress. The farmer is getting ready to consider the advisability of taxing himself for the gain of wealth, but not for loss of life or limb. And it cannot be denied that, on many good stretches of road in this country, built at the expense of the owners of abutting lands, there have been constant efforts to rival the charlot races in Ben Hur. This is the new mudhole in the good roads movement, and it must be admitted to be a deep one. Numerous appeals to automobilists by good roads advocates have been made to give them a lift out of the mud by reducing their time schedule and going out of opposition to the railroad lines, unless, indeed, like railroads, they are willing to incorporate themselves and put up their own money for their own roads—Epitomist. Good Advice. It is particularly advisable, in the use of concrete for a surfacing material, and on account of its monolithic nature, that all sewer pipes, conduits and mines for public utilities, with their house connections, as are likely to become necessary for a number of years in the future, should be installed during the building of the road to avoid disturbing the pavement after it has been laid. It is possible, undoubtedly, to restore a pavement that has been torn up for the placing of pipes, so that it will not show appreciable damage, but the fact is that the care necessary to accomplish this result is seldom or never taken by those in charge of the work of repair and the pavement deteriorates and is destroyed much sooner than it should be, entailing large expense on the taxpayers in addition to the inconvenience of having the street repeatedly torn up.—Good Roads Magazine. Sun Better Than Shade. Concerning trees for the roadside, my advice is, that the less trees on the roadside the better for the roads, either in summer or winter, writes a correspondent of Orange Judd Farmer. One reason is, that in summer they shade the roads too much in rainy weather, thereby keeping the roads wet too long where there is too much shade, while the other parts of the road dry up quickly. In winter, where there are trees on the road, the snow accumulates, piles up too much in windy weather, making it difficult and sometimes dangerous to travel, and takes longer in the springtime to taw away and consequently keeps the roads much longer in bad condition than if otherwise were the case. I agree, however, with the suggestion that on a 160-acre farm, ten acres should be devoted to trees. Two matrons of a certain Western city, whose respective matrimonial ventures did not in the first instance prove altogether satisfactory, met at a woman's club one day, when the first matron remarked: "Hattie, I met your 'ex,' dear old Tom, the day before yesterday.

He said he was extremely sorry, though, he added, he didn't know the man personally."—Lippincott's.

The phenomenon was one that I have never before experienced—a running river frozen solid in a night! When we arrived the waters of this stream, tumbling over the great bowlers and rushing through the tortuous channels, made a deafening roar. Gradually, but almost imperceptibly, the tumult decreased, while, worn out after a hard day, we fell asleep. A few hours later, when we awoke, a deathly silence prevailed, and on looking out, to my intense surprise, I found that the rushing torrent of the previous night had been transformed into a solid mass of ice. In this region of extreme temperatures I had on other occasions seen torrents frozen, but never under such startling conditions. On looking round we found that everything we possessed was also frozen solid, including our saddle of mutton, which was merely a block of ice. We were ravenous, but we got no satisfaction from gnawing at lumps, of rock which ought to have been a succulent joint, and so, despite our hunger, we had to content ourselves with a little tea—to make which we melted ice—and a few biscuits—J.

SENSE ABOET FOOD It is a serious question sometimes to know just what to eat when a person's stomach is out of order, and most foods cause trouble. Grape-Nuts food can be taken at any time with the certainty that it will digest. Actual experience of people is valuable to any one interested in foods. A Terre Haute woman writes: "I had suffered with, indigestion for about four years, ever since at attack of typhoid fever, and at times could eat nothing but the very lightest food and then suffer such agony with my stomach I would wish I never had to eat anything. "I was urged to try Grape-Nuts, and since using it I do not have to starve myself any more, but I can eat it at any time and feel nourished and satisfied; dyspepsia is a thing of the past, and I am now strong and well. "My husband also had an experience with Grape-Nuts. He was very weak and sickly in the spring. Could not attend to his work. He was put under the doctor's care, but medicine did not seem to do him any good until he began to leave off ordinary food and use Grape-Nuts. It was positively surprising to see the change in him. He grew better right off, and naturally he has none but words of praise for Grape-Nuts. "Our boy thinks he cannot eat a meal without Grape-Nuts, and he learns so fast at school that his teacher and other scholars comment on it. I am satisfied that it is because of the great nourishing elements in Grape-Nuts." "Tithe's a Reason." It contains the phosphate of potash from wheat and barley, which combines with albumen to make the gray matter to daily refill the brain and nerve-centres.

The real way is to stick to proper food and be healthy and get along without medicine and expense. * Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time.

A good "kid" story from the Hutchinson Gazette: It was the boss' birthday. The office boy knew it, because he had heard the boss' wife say so. The office boy worshiped the boss and had bought him a birthday present. Often he had heard the boss say that the only presents he liked were cigars, providing they were ten-cent cigars, and he was worried for fear the boss might not like his present. The boss came in and threw open his desk. Lying there he saw a small parcel. He opened it and found that it contained a cigar. He looked at it closely. It was a nickel cigar. $ \textcircled{0} $ "Huh," said the boss, disgustedly. Then he noticed that there was writing on the paper. He read: "Happy birthday, I didnt buy a ten center cause I only had a nickle." The boss bit the end off the cigar, reached in his pocket and drew out a match and lighted the weed. He puffed critically a minute. "I didn't know they made such good cigars for a nickel," he said.—Kansas City Journal. No Extenipore Pretensions.

Mrs. Cal Remy, a thrifty housewife of this place, recently had an experience with some poultry which was unusual, to say the least. One of her hens hatched a brood of chickens, all of which were white but one. The hen attempted to kill the one black chicken and was prevented from doing so only by Mrs. Remy transferring the black chick to another hen. This hen, however, also had a brood of white chicks, and she too objected to the black chick to the extent that she tried to kill it. Finally, Mrs. Remy took the despised black chicken, more lead than alive, and placed it in a cage with a canary bird. Here the chick was not molested, but was permitted to peep to its heart's content. The peeping, however, finally got on the nerves of the canary and now he has ceased to sing and makes no noise save that of peeping, in imitation of his cage mate. Columbus Correspondence Indianapolis News. A Concrete Aquarium. A very artistic and durable aquarium can be made of reinforced concrete and glass, as shown in the sketch. Secure four pieces of glass, plate glass preferred, the desired size to make tank, say about nine inches wide, twelve inches long and ten inches deep. Set the edges of the glass in a concrete base made about one inch thick. This can be done in a temporary woden mold. Use good Portland cement in making, and take equal parts cement and clean sharp sand mixed to the consistency of thin dough. Reinforce the base by putting in a wire screen, Fig. 1, turning up the edges so the glass will rest firmly against the screen. Allow about one-eighth inch open space between the perpendicular edges of the glass. After the cement has set about forty-eight hours mold the corners in any design desired, reinforcing them with wire, screws or nails, as Wire GLASS Fig.1 Fig.2 Fig.3 Concrete and Glass. shown in Fig. 2, also filling up the inside corners about one-quarter inch thick. Allow this to set for a day, after which paint the concrete with pure cement and water mixed to the consistency of paint. Put a thick coat of this cement paint on the inside bottom. After two or three days the aquarium will hold water perfectly. The cement can be painted, enameled or bronzed, as desired, also a brass or wooden cover fitted to the upper edges of the glass.—Contributed by S. O. Safholm, Minneapolis, Minn.

Cubical Cantaloupes. C. E. Parrish on North Yakima. Wash, marketed cantaloupes here this week that are perfect cubes. Chicago is happy at last, shouts the Washington Post. Professor Ferrero says Rome could boast of no stockyards. Parrish has been doing novel things with fruit and vegetables for several years, but says that his idea of growing cantaloupes in the shape of cubes is the most practical of anything he has undertaken. He had troughs made from heavy lumber and these are partitioned to make an interior size of 4 inches each way. As soon as new cantaloupes are seen to form on the vines each fruit is placed in one of the partitions in a trough. The fruit continues to grow and gradually assumes the shape of the cubical house in which it lives.

The world do move, exclaims the New York World. "My baby was sitting beside the fender and we were preparing the breakfast when the frying-pan full of boiling grease was upset and it went all over one side of her face and head. Some one wiped the scald with a towel, pulling the entire skin off. We took her to a doctor. He tended her a week and gave me some stuff to put on. But it all feasted and I thought the baby was disfigured for life. I used about three boxes of Cuticura Ointment and it was wonderful how it healed. In about five weeks it was better and there wasn't a mark to tell where the scald had been. Her skin is just like velvet. Mrs. Hare, 1 Henry St., South Shields, Durham, England, March 22, 1903."

The Hudson-Fulton Celebration will begin Saturday, September 25, and end Saturday, October 9. The first eight days will be devoted to events in and about New York, the closing week to excise the alcohol from the Hudson from Yonkers to Troy. In the illuminations six billions candle power will be employed, nightly. Every nation in the world will be represented. opening of the various exhibitions, the nature of which is to be announced later, and the beginning of the airship flights over New York. The historical parade is scheduled for Tuesday, September 28, and in this pageant all nationalities will be represented. There will be dozens of floats and moving tableaux representing events in the history of the aboriginal, Dutch, English, Revolutionary and American periods. These floats have been prepared at great expense and the audience and affection aside from their historical idolity, will have great educational value. Aquatic sports opposite Riverside Park and Yonkers will take place on A great historical pageant will be seen in New York on Tuesday, September 28; in Brooklyn on Friday, October 1, and on Staten Island on Saturday, October 2. Many prominent aviators will participate in airship flights which will be begin on Monday, September 27. In a naval spectacle craft in two divisions, one from New York, another from Albany, will meet in Newburg Bay on Friday, October 1. The vessels will include counterparts of Hudson's Half Moon and Fulton's Clermont. More than five hundred thousand school children will participate in festivals in Manhattan on Saturday, October 2. The expense of the celebration will exceed $500,000. New York City.—Excelling in magnitude of scope and brilliance of design any celebration ever held in New York, the Hudson-Fulton celebration will begin on Saturday, September 25, and close on Saturday, October 9. The commission having in charge the details of the celebration has issued an official circular announcing the schedule of events for the first time. The interest shown by foreign nations, especially England, Germany, France and Holland, in the successful outcome of the celebration was a source of great encouragement to the commission in the early days of its labors. The countries named, not to speak of others in South America and the Orient, will be represented in the big naval parade on September 25 by from one to five war ships, all representative of their class. The United States war ships then in the harbor will join in the naval pageant. While from time to time fragmentary items bearing upon the celebration have been published, they lacked the authoritative stamp of the commission. The official schedule now is at hand, and it is an imposing array of events. The celebration will begin with a rendez-vous of all foreign and American vessels in the harbor, dipping of flags, firing of salutes and other evidences of the entent cordiale existing between the United States and the world Powers. Then will follow the first naval parade, during which the foreign war ships will be encircled, after which there will be a reception of officials and other notables at 110th street and Riverside drive, at three o'clock in the afternoon. The evening of the first day will witness the opening illuminations. If one can imagine the light a bunch of six billion wax candles, burning simultaneously, can send to the clouds, then one will have some idea of the brilliancy in and about Manhattan nightly during the celebration. Marmers say lesser illuminations have been seen from the decks of ships one hundred miles at sea, so that it is safe to say that many an incoming ship will view the glare before the coast has been sighted. There will be nothing doing officially on Sunday, September 26, that day being set aside for religious observances. The following day, Monday, there will be official receptions.

The historical parade is scheduled for Tuesday, September 28, and in this pageant all nationalities will be represented. There will be dozens of floats and moving tables representing events in the history of the aboriginal, Dutch, English, Revolutionary and American periods. These floats have been prepared at great expense, and the costing and effects, aside from their historical fidelity, will have great educational value. Aquatic sports opposite Riverside Park and Yonkers will take place on Wednesday, September 29. The day will be marked by general commemorative exercises in educational institutions throughout the State. Memorials on spots dignified by great historic events will be dedicated. The day in Manhattan will be known as "Bronx Borough Day" and the chief celebration will be in that borough. There will be a festival in Richmond Borough and a reception to United States officials and guests of the city at West Point. The military parade is to take place on Thursday, September 30. This will be participated in by United States infantry regiments, Navy and Marine corps, the National Guard, Naval Militia, veteran organizations and marines and sailors from foreign vessels. The parade of naval vessels, merchant marine, excursion boats and pleasure craft of every description will take place on Friday, Oct. 1. It will be in two divisions, one starting from New York, the other from Albany. The divisions will meet at Newburg, celebrated in Revolutionary history, and a general good time will be enjoyed in Newburg Bay. In the division bound north will be the Half Moon, manned by Dutch sailors in the costumes of the mariners of Hudson's day, and the Chermont, the first boat built by Fulton, operated by her own steam. Ceremonies will be held on both these vessels at the joining of the two divisions. At Newburg there will be a parade, reception and the like, with illuminations and fireworks in the evening. The vessels taking part in the naval parade will return to New York and the Manhattan historical parade previously mentioned will be repeated in Brooklyn. The school children in New York will engage in festivals on Saturday, October 2. There will be exercises in fifty centres in New York, conducted in view of more than five hundred thousand children of the public and private schools. The two divisions of the naval parade will be welcomed on their return from Newburg. There will be a historical parade on Staten Island and dedicatory exercises at Stony Point, the scene of a decisive battle during the Revolution. In the evening there will be a carnival parade in New York, in which there will be seen fifty brilliantly illuminated floats, escorted by various organizations. The final week of the celebration will be devoted to events on the Hudson north of New York from October 3 to October 9. Special ceremonies with the historical floats in parades will take place in all the river cities and larger villages, with neighboring smaller municipalities participating in each of them. On Monday, October 4, the chief celebrations will be at Poughkeepsie and Yonkers: Tuesday at Kingston, Hastings, Dobbs Ferry, Irvine and Tarrytown; Wednesday at Cockburn, New York: Thursday at Hudson, Ossining and Haverstraw: Friday, at Albany and Peekskill, and Saturday at Troy and Cold Spring. Similar ceremonies will be held at Cobleson on Monday, October 11. The carnival parade in Brooklyn Saturday evening, October 9, will bring the celebration 'to a close, as far as Manhattan, is concerned.' Upp a Bank in Iowa Mineola, Iowa.

This should be the biggest year for us as Masons, Every department should show much increase. This can be done by concerted action by every one from the Worshipful Masters, officers and every single member of subordinate lodges, the officers of the Grand Lodge not excepted. The action against secret societies of the race in this state should only the more spur us on to greater and nobler deeds. The better should we practice the principles of our order, improve ourselves not only along the line of Masonry, but as model and frugal citizens, so that in each community where we may be, our neighbors can look up to us as citizens to be proud of. The assessment for the Home, that is the first half, is now due. Each lodge should collect this amount and forward at once to Brother Spencer in order that the good work at the home may be continued, and thus proving that we, as Masons, are not unmindful of the poor and unfortunate ones. More than our brethren least think, this charitable work is making us friends, and we are doing work and making history that will cause posterity to call us blessed. Let every lodge continue meeting. Collect your dues and spread the principles of the order. Your meetings should be very short; from one hour to one hour and thirty minutes is long enough to have any meeting, except when there is work to be done. Dispensation to make candidates at reduced prices is an evil that should be abated. No well regulated lodge should apply for one. If Maconry is good enough to join, then whoever joins should pay the required amount. Many an unworthy candidate has secured admission through this method. The Grand Master has always spoken against this matter, and it is hoped that he will wipe it out except in the case of a very weak lodge or in event of emergency. In Masonry there should be no short suits. If Masonic brotherhood 'prevalled, religious and political intolerance would be unknown. The lessons of the degrees should never be forgotten. They embrace every moral and social duty. It is one of the glories of Masonry that its work is done without ostentation or display, that it does not advertise its good deeds. That it lifts up and elevates and upbuilds without boasting of its work. As in the building of the Temple there was not heard the sound of hammer or any tool of iron, so in Masonic circles the fabric of good citizenship is built up without boasting or self-praise.—Edward C. Stokes of New Jersey. The tenet of the true dignity of labor has been most emphatically exposed before the world in the bestowing of Masonic honors upon men of all ranks and conditions of life. Craftsmen have been called from the humble walks of life to fill the highest offices in the gift of the institution. It is because of this teaching that the Masonic rolls have borne the names of the rich and the poor, the high and the low. Kings, princes, presidents, the the leaders of armies, the leaders of thought, have met upon the level with honest, yeomen whom they have been pleased to call brother.—Exchange CURE FOR INDIFFERENCE. CURE FOR INDULFENCE It is an unsolved problem—how to interest indifferent members—and efforts are made in many chapters to provide entertainment for them. This only enlists their interest for the time it is being done, and they again lapse into indifference until some new addenda or entertainment is given. Building interest upon this sort of foundation is not substantial. The only real foundation upon which to build interest is the principles of the order, which are taught in every lesson, and should be evidenced in every life of a follower of the Eastern Star.—The Eastern Star Journal. KEEP HIM OUT. Keep the evil-minded man out of Masonry if you expect to keep the fraternity in a healthful working force for good. A tree of life does not develop from the root of evil planted in an atmosphere of purity. "Keep the cynic far from the ancient fraternity where harmony is obstructed by the superstitious and morose." How much more care, then should be taken to keep the man of evil intentions outside of our society. It is much easier to keep him out' in the first place than to get him out after he once gets in—Masonic Chronicle. SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! We, as a people, are placed in a very painful position. The white people pushing and harrassing on one side, and the supposed first-class Negro pushing and hauling on the other. Being thus between the upper and nether stone, acting ourselves at the lowest extremity, what will become of us? Incidents follow rapidly upon each other, and all point to the disintegration of the Negro as a race. There is no unity of purpose in the whole race. Your next poor neighbor rejoices in your downfall more than your worst white enemy. The Negro school teacher will not support the Negro doctors; the Negro doctors will not support the Negro drug stores; the Negro banks will not support the Negro lawyers; the Negro preachers will not support the Negro interprizes, struggling for existence, nor will the Negro churches support anything that a Negro is concerned in. We could name a dozen instances where the race has proven recurrent to its trust, that is to say, those who stand in the front and are supposed to represent the race, but who in reality represent their own selfish greed. Were it not for the few noble and unselfish white people who are ever willing to do all in their power to uplift us we would fall of our own weight of ignorance, stupidity and denseness. Ignorant of the fundamental principals of the economics and conditions surrounding us; to1st stupid to learn by precept or example, the first law of nature (self-preservation); happy in the denseness of the lack of will power to stretch one scintilla of an inch that narrow hidebound prejudice toward each other so that what little that is left in us like other people may have a chance to grow, that by a slim possibility we may in a thousand years develop a little toward that manhood that will give promise to better things. We have in mind several instances that beautifully, most beautifully, illustrates the objective which we have been driving at and we shall point out the most outrageous, willful, malicious and unwarrantable rape on Negro manhood, perpetrated by the First Congregational Church, that has occurred within the last fifty years. At a trustees' meeting held in the very place, where week in and week out they bleed the poor over-hurried members, husbands, wives and children, that body committed itself as an enemy of the whole race. The diabolical act was one which the shame of which should weigh heavily on the consciences of those over-pious men composing that body and stare them in their face when and wherever they turn, like a restless ghost of some heinous crime. At a meeting of the trustees to consider the giving out of work to be done on the church the board took under consideration three bids, two from colored workmen and one from a white workman. The bid from one of the colored-workmen was too high to be considered, but the other colored-workman's bid was $30 less than the white man's, yet we are reliably informed by some of the trustees present that several of those composing the board said that they did not believe that a colored man ought to have the work and no Negro would get it if he or they could help it. And they did help it, instead of saving the church that $30 they betrayed their trust and threw away the church's money for no other reason than that they had constituted and appointed themselves the destroyers of all other Negroes. Of course, they had a qualified right to select the one that they thought would give the best service for the money, but as the colored man is as good a workman as there is in Georgia, was reliable, he was entitled to the work by all fair standards. Some of us howl about the white man closing the door of hope in our face. Not so, he has opened a double door of hope for us and such Negroes as composed that trustees' board have closed one of those doors and are now trying with might and main to close the other, and like all men of narrow and limited understanding delude themselves thinking that they will be an exception to the rule of oppression. What is to become of us if we are to be limited and circumscribed by such wanton disregard for each other's rights? The white man does not need us; he can get on without our little patronage without the least inconvenience, in fact, he can and does alld us in many ways, but there are those among us who have only the rest of the race to look to for support and what are the most of us doing to advance their interest, which is also the interest of all colored people? Nothing! absolutely nothing, but seeking all that can be gotten from each other without giving back anything! Is it not disgraceful? Shame on such men who are lacking in one lota of manly manhood, shame! E. PETTY, President. T. J. BYRD, Recording Secretary, Adv. Local Union 1062. THE ARTISTIC TABLE. It is an added pleasure to eat at a table that has dainty touches in the fittings, and has a pretty floral decoration in the center. The fern bowl is one of the most popular methods of introducing a touch of green on the table. The fine asparagus ferns and the maiden hair variety are used a great deal for this. Pansies are among the flowers that display to advantage on a table. A novel way to arrange them is to mingle them with fancy moss in a flat dish. This supports the flowers so that they look as erect as when they grow. An odd decoration was seen the other evening on a dinner table which was cool and refreshing looking. A rose bowl was filled with sparkling mineral water, and the stems of the nasturtiums and their leaves were immersed in it. After a short time the flowers and the foliage became, covered with a mass of frostlike moisture, which was decidedly pretty. St. Louis Globa Democrat.
