SENATE INVESTIGATES RACE TRACK GAMBLING Gambler Tells National Solons How to Stop Betting. BETTOR HAS SMALL CHANGE Big Delegation of Reformers Visit Senate Judiciary Committee in Support of Burkett Bill. Washington, D. C.—With a supporting cast of reformers galore both male and female, Henry Brolaski, or Monrovia, Cal., who professed to be a gambler upon race tracks, was the star feature of a hearing before the senate judiciary committee in support of the Burkett bill to prohibit the transmission of race track betting odds over telegraph or telephone lines. Mr. Brolaski gave details of the gambler's life and showed the poor chance of returns for money invested which is given to the gambling public. He was one of the owners of a Mexican track which was put out of business at the instance of the department of state through co-operation with the Mexican government. He is now seeking to have tracks, in which he has no interest, dealt with in like manner. Brolaski said he had worked in his line in St. Louis, Chicago, Worthi Roby, Atlanta, Charleston, S. C., New Orleans, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Latonia, Louisville and Bonnings tracks and had had twenty-one years experience. He roughly estimated that there were now in the United States between sixty and seventy pool rooms. He calculated that there were in operation nearly 1,300,000 handbooks. He said that in New York city there were at least 100,000 handbooks and pool room players and that the evil was growing daily. Pointing out the poor chance given the bettor for a return of any part of his wager, the witness said that in a pool room the percentage against the player would run from 25 to 150 per cent and in a handbook the percentage was from 5 to 15 per cent. Common sense will tell you that from 5 per cent up will eat up an man's capital if taken out six times a day." he declared. "There is only one means," said Mr. Brolaski, "of putting this evil out of business effectually, and that is by the United States government enacting a law prohibiting the transmission of pool room and race track information over telegraph or telephone wires and prohibiting the use of the mails to newspapers that publish race track prices or results." SOUTHERN BOY REWARDED. Diplomas of Merit Awarded for Agricultural Proficiency. Washington, D. C. — Diplomas of merit were presented by Secretary Wilson in his office at the department agriculture to Bascomb Usher of South Carolina; DeWitt Lundy of Mississippi; Elmer Halter of Arkansas and Ralph Bellwood of Virginia, all under 18 years, for special proficiency in agricultural pursuits. The recipients are among the 12,500 engaged in the boys' demonstration work in the south. Each planted one acre of corn and cultivated it under instructions from the department of agriculture. Dr. C. G. Knapp, who has charge of the park demonstration work in the south, offered a trip to Washington to the boy in Mississippi who should obtain the best results. The State Bankers' Association of Arkansas offered a similar reward in that state, while citizens of Virginia and South Carolina duplicated the offers in those states. Thousands of dollars of prizes were awarded this year throughout the south, the basis of the awards being the profits, written records, exhibits of products and yield per acre. All southern states are making arrangements to send the prize winners to Washington next year. In a brief address to the boys, Secretary Wilson declared that they and the boys engaged in like work are "the only hope we have for the continued greatness and prosperity of the country." He pointed out that the south now, in agriculture and manufacture, was prosperous and never before, because the men and women of the south had put into the work their own energy and ability, and, in no sense, were dependent upon the capital or the industry of the people from other parts of the country. "These diplomas," he continued,"are unique. No boys ever have received a similar recognition of their merit. Nothing I have done since I have been secretary of agriculture has given me more pleasure than to present them to you. You have earned them. You have been right. LURTON IS APPOINTED. Tennesseeeean Nominated for Supreme Court Judge. Washington, D. C.-The president nominated Horace H. Lurton of Tennessee to be an associate justice of the U. S. supreme court. Judge Lurton is a Tennessee man, and was appointed judge of the sixth circuit by President Cleveland March 27, 1893. He was a democrat in politics at that time. President Tatt was himself a judge of the sixth circuit at the time he was appointed governor of the Philippines in 1898, and it was his association with Judge Lurton that gave him such a high opinion of the legal qualifications of the Tennessee jurist. The Savannah Tribune. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1909. Clark of Florida Has Introduced Many Measures Affecting This Section. Washington, D. C.—A large number of bills, all of which are of considerable interest to the southern states, have been introduced in the house by Representative Clark of Florida. Among the most important of these are the following: To prohibit the receipt of money in payment of special taxes as dealers in intoxicating liquors by internal revenue officials of the United States, except in certain cases, and to provide punishment for its violation. Mr. Clark would have any person or firm produce evidence that the city or town where it is proposed to carry on the liquor trade has given authority to do so. Such person must first procure a license in the place where it is proposed to carry on the business. To credit and pay to the several states and territories all monies collected under the direct tax levied by act of congress of July 1, 1862, and at later dates. To extend to the veterans of the several Seminole Indian wars and to the wildows of veterans of those wars the benefits of the act of congress passed February 6, 1907. To amend an act to provide for the collection of abandoned property and the prevention of frauds in insurrectionary districts within the United States. To levy an import duty on Egyptian cotton and other long staple cotton imported into the United States from foreign countries. He proposes that after September 1, 1910, there shall be levyed upon all Egyptian and other long staple cotton brought into the United States from foreign countries, in the lint, an import duty of 6 cents per pound, and upon all such cotton imported into the United States, from foreign countries, in the seed, an import duty at the rate of 2 cents per pound. These bills have been referred to their proper committees, and will probably be acted upon immediately after the holidays. TAFT A HARD WORKER President Puts in More Hours Than Did Roosevelt. Washington, D. C.—President Taft is proving to be one of the hard-working presidents, according to those who closely observe the habits of great men. While he does not work so intensely nor as fast as did his immediate predecessor, he puts in more hours each day than did Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Taft's working day begins at 9:30 a. m. and lasts until 5 p. m. Before he goes to the executive offices he takes his morning exercise and has a bit of breakfast. As a rule the president takes little time for lunch. President Roosevelt did little work after 4 o'clock in the afternoon, especially when it was a good day for tennis or a fine drizzly time for walking through Rock Creek Park. Mr. Taft differs in that he usually does much work after luncheon, frequently returning to the executive offices for special conferences with cabinet members or transacting business in the executive mansion. Mr. Taft has formed a habit of working at the mansion after dinner. On several occasions during the progress of the annual message the president remained up till very late dictating and revising his first big state document. Notwithstanding all the time he revotes to work, he still takes some exercise. He never misses the morning, callisthenics, and, whenever possible, takes a walk or ride, however short it may be. TEXAS FARMERS TO LEAVE UNION. Secession From National Farmers' Union is Planned. Houston, Texas.-That the secession of the Texas Farmers' Union from the Farmers' Educational and Co-Operative Union of America is planned is indicated in circulars sent out by officers of the Texas branch. After asserting that alleged exorbitant salaries for the national officers have been proposed and that the constitution of the organization has been misconstrued, it is urged that charters be returned and applications be made for new charters under the name of the "Farmers" Union of Texas.** Objection is voiced to the recent action of the national convention at Birmingham, Ala., in September, proposing an increase in the dues of 16 cents per annum, an advance in the salary of the president of the national union from $600 to $3,000 per annum, an increase in the salary of the national secretary from $1,200 to $1,600 and other expenditures. 7 Dead In Tenement Fire. Cincinnati, Ohio. — Seven persons are dead and several others injured as a result of a tenement fire at Spyder and Third streets in this city. Entombed Miners' Bodies Recovered. Madisonville, Ky.—A rescuing party found the bodies of the seven negro miners entombed in the Baker mine of the West Kentucky Coal Company and all were removed from the mine. The men died from black damp. They had been entombed since Saturday afternoon. Clay Not To Leave Senate. Washington, D. C.—Sonator Alexander S. Clay emphatically denied a report from Georgia which said the senator is about to resign his seat and run for governor of the state. "Outrageously false; never heard of such a thing" said the senator, when told of it. GIRLS TO SAVE BILLION Domestic Science Proves What Farmers' Daughters Can Do. TEACH COOKING AND SEWING Housekeepers on the Farm Are to Be Trained In the Art of Saving. "Short Course Planned." Omana, Neb.—One billion dollars is the amount which girls on American farms will be able to save the nation every year when they are trained in domestic science and art as the young men of the farms are being trained in scientific agriculture, according to Jessica E. Besack of Columbia University, director of the domestic science department of the Nation Corn Exposition. The United States produces yearly practically $7,500,000,000 worth of plant and animal products. One billion of this is credited to agricultural science. Such authorities as Willett M. Hays, assistant secretary of agriculture, say that science will make the new wealth produced on the farm $10,000,000,000 annually without increasing agricultural acreage. Now come the women of the agricultural colleges, who have made the departments of domestic science a success, and say, that another billion can be made, because it can be saved by the housekeepers of the farms when they learn to eliminate waste, prepare foods from cheaper materials, substitute the inexpensive for the high in price and buy clothing as the experts buy it. Thus, while the young men learn to quadruple the crops, the girls are learning to reduce the cost of living on-half. In the fields and orchards the farmer creates new cereals and trees; in the kitchen the women will create new and nutritious foods without the use of eggs, butter and high priced meats. As the young men eliminate gilled hillsides by systematic tree-planting, the young women will cut out waste by systematic buying to build up their wardrobes one season at a time. Instructors in colleges and women thinkers who have realized for years that the housewives demanded a training school have been puzzled as to just how to get the information they have gathered disseminated. They have demonstrated that they have mastered the problems of living, and speculated as to why the initial scheme of Vassar College had fallen through; why Wellesley found it hard to live up to the (plan, "The colleges did not reach and do not reach the masses," they said."The young women will never save one billion if they must first get a training in the colleges. The "Short Course" Planned. So the "short course" was planned and these short courses, given in connection and farmers' institutes and school district meetings, are taking the knowledge to thousands of girls who will manage the homes on the farms of the future. Another plan has been inaugurated. The American Beef Producers' Association has calmly given notice that unless the people of the nation learn to use the cheaper cuts of meat, the average family will not be able to afford meat in the future! The association offered an illustrated lecture and a demonstration. A little party of college women gathered around Miss Jessica Besack and opened at the National Corn Exposition, which was held in Omaha, December 6 to 18, a great laboratory where a thousand girls took a short course in domestic science and art. Every day these girls cooked, sewed and shopped. For the best dishes the exposition management offered prizes. A girl won $100 for ten corn muffins; a good price for muffins. Here's a meal which the girls prepared. It looks good, and four persons may have it at a total cost for the four of exactly 77 cents. A 77-Cent Dinner. Celery Soup (5 cents) Hot Potato Salad (16 cents) Cornbread (12 cents) Butter (8 cents) Berry Shortcake (16 cents) The potato salad is the chief of this meal. It is a hot German salad and contains bacon. It utilizes both the bacon and the drippings, and costs less than it would to serve the potatoes to four persons. To sow on buttons so that the thread and not the cloth will bear the strain will result in a saying that the department proposes to teach the girls how to do such little things. To square darn, to make square-and-bitch buttons for bitchwear and many other such things are counted as those which if generally known, will help the young women save their billion. HOOK WORM CONVENTION. Rockefeller Promises to Favor Tampa for Meeting. Tampa, Fla—In a letter received here, John D. Rockefeller, who donated $1,000,000 for the extermination of the hook worm, promised to favor Tampa as the meeting place of the general conference of those named on the hook worm commission. The conference, if held here, will be one of the many important events scheduled during the exposition to be held here during February, celebrating the benefits that will accrue to Tampa on the completion of the Panama canal. Extensive arrangements are being made to entertain the commissioners. PRICE OF COTTON SOARS. Heavy Trading Follows Government's Publication of Crop Report. New York City. Not since the Sully bloom of 1904 has New York cotton exchange witnessed a more sensational scene or a more spectacular rise in prices than occurred with the announcement of the government crop report. With the galleries crowded with visitors from the south, augmented by friends and relatives of operators and other interested spectators, the market soared to a new high record for season, with gains of more than $2 a pound. Both the May and the July options touched the high mark of 15.80, both gaining approximately 42 points. Bull brokers prevented a more violent advance, as they had distributed heavy sellers' orders every 5 points up from 15.55 for May and July. They sold enormously, supplying the demand of shorts and also the intrush of buying orders from Wall street, Chicago and southern operators and the local and New England dry goods interests. The markets continued in an excited state up to the close, with estimates that 500,000 bales had changed hands in the last hour. May closed at 15.67, and July at 15.74. The news came from Washington that the government estimate was only 10,088,000 bales, the smallest crop since 1903. Immediately there was a tremendous rush of buying orders. Orders poured in from the world over, and prices jumped from 20 to 30 points in the first transactions. Last trades made just before the report was announced were on the basis of 15.50 for May. The next sales were made at 15.70, an advanced of 11 a bale. This was followed by tremendous trading both ways and by rapid fluctuations. A break to 15.65 followed, then came the rise to 15.80. July cotton fluctuated along the same lines, while March reached 15.60 as its high point, and closed at 15.40. The government estimate is about 200,000 bales below the predictions of the most sanguine of the bulls, and the action of the market naturally followed. Sixteen-cent cotton, so much talked about, has been realized, but the market remains near it. It now remains to be determined whether the federal estimators have under-estimated the yield, as has been the case for the past ten years. During that time the crop has been under-estimated each year at from 500,000 to 600,000 tails. New Orleans, La—Following the posting of the cotton crop report estimate of 10,068,000 bales on the cotton exchange; the future market took a jump which ranged from 25 to 40 points. May cotton went to 16 cents, establishing a new high record for the season. The estimate was about 200,000 bales below the predictions of the most sanguine bulls. Anticipating a bullish estimate, the trade started the market toward higher levels several years ago, and the May option sold at 15.54, for position above the previous record. Yet it was never far below the level which had been accorded, when it broke all records for the season by going to 16 cents. A majority of the operators had been trading on the belief that the estimate would be between 10,300,000 and 10,600,000 bales. When an estimate of 10,088,000 was put out, a small panic ensued, and the market went up with a jump. Methodist Minister Expelled. New Orleans, La—Both expulsion from the ministry and from membership in the church follow the decision by the South Mississippi Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in the case of Rev. J. W. Crisler. He was found guilty of a charge of gross immorality. Newsv Paragraphs. The city of Denver, Colo., has entered upon its operation of a season of popular theatrical entertainments in a playhouse owned by the city, the first of its kind in the country. A part of the big Convention hall has been fitted up as a theater, and attractions are under contract for twenty weeks on a percentage basis, 30 per cent going to the city. The highest price for seats is $1 and from that down to a quarter. Professor Thomas Jonnesco of the University of Bucharest, discoverer of a new method of painless surgery, who has recently made demonstrations in London has now come to America to give to the profession here the proof of his theories. A representative of John D. Rockefeller called on Dr. Jonnesco in his hotel at New York to tender greetings. His method is the infection of a mixture of stoalyne and strichine. Plans for a world's fair to commemorate and celebrate the completion of the Panama canal, in 1915 are under way in San Francisco. At a big meeting merchants offered to subscribe large sums, and it was declared $1,000,000 could be raised The Illinois association opposed to woman suffrage, of which Mrs. C. R. Corbin is president, has issued a bulletin with its caption, "The Campaign Noise." "In some states, including Illinois," it reads, "the property rights of women are actually superior to those of men. Women all over the country are asking with some apprehension, is the twentieth century to be an epoch of demoralized man and denatured women? When the suffragettes forsake sound argument and betake themselves to a campaign of spectacular demonstration, do they not lay themselves open to the charge of being allied with the elements of decadence and misrule, rather than those of good sense and sound government." EVIL TRAFFIC PROBED Report Made on "White Slave Trade By Commission. REVOLTING DISCLOSURE MADE Sensational Evidence Given Showing the Extent of the Importation of Alien Women. $ Washington, D. C.-All but incredibly revolting are the disclosures of an international system of traffic in women, containing in the report on the so-called "white slave trade" submitted to congress by the United States immigration commission. When the report was presented in the house of representatives by Congressman Bennet of New York, Champ Clark, the minority leader, objected to its being printed as a house document, but later withdrew his objection. It was promptly renewed by Mr. Sabbath of Illinois. Mr. Fitzgerald of New York wanted to know if the report contained sensational matter like he implied was contained in the report of the Roosevelt homes commission, upon which Mr. Bennet evoked laughter by the tart reply: "All matter calculated to appeal to your mind has been eliminated." The report begins with an introduction explaining the nature of the "white slave" traffic, and concludes with a series of recommendations, mostly of an administrative character. The commission says that the effect of the importation of immoral women into this country is one of increased degradation and death for the women and of contamination and corruption by means of the spread of disease to others. The importations came from all countries, France leading, and the Chinese and Japanese making up the majority of these coming in by way of the Pacific coast. Most of the procurers are of foreign birth. The "market" price varies from $300 to $1,000 for each alien woman. Sometimes they are not sold outright, but their procurers continue to live from their earnings after their arrival here. The commission recommends that efforts be made through government agents abroad and on board steam ships to prevent the importation of women to this country; that more as siduous efforts be made in the United States to arrest women known to be engaged in immoral practices and to deport all possible; that the limit of three years after landing within which such persons may be successfully prosecuted be removed; that any deported persons returning to this country be imprisoned; that the keepers of immoral houses in which alien women are found be subject to deportation, and that the state and municipal governments be urged to cooperate for the stamping out of the evil. RECOMMENDS AN: ETHICAL SUNDAY. Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta in Session Three. Days. Attanta, Ga—The Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta was in session here three days. Right Rev. Bishop C. K. Nelson presided, and made a strong address, in which he deplored the encroachment of modern business life upon the proper observance of the Sabbath. He made the point that every worker was entitled to one day in seven which he could call absolutely his own, he it Sunday or some other day. The bishop, of course, contended Sunday was the logical day of rest, because it had been set aside by divine authority, but insisted that at all events a surcease of 48 or 36 hours from labor was an economy of energy profitable alike to both employer and employee. The address was ordered printed in the minutes, and each clergyman urged to stress the necessity of the church doing its full duty for the workers. Great interest was manifested in the missions of the diocese, and great improvement shown. 20 DEAD IN WRECK 20th Century Limited Strikes Rear of Another Train. Erie, Pa—The Twentieth Century Limited, the New York Central train en route from Chicago to New York, collided with the rear end of passenger train No. 10, on the Lake Shore Railroad, at North East, Pa., 16 miles east of here. At the time of the collision the Twentieth Century was easily making sixty-two miles an hour. Six bodies have already been taken from the wreck, and it is believed there will be many more fatalities. Twenty are reported dead. The engine of No. 26 reared up, turned over and fell upon the coaches following. KNIFE RELIEVES KING LEOPOLD Successful Operation on Aged Belgian Ruler. Brussels, Belgium.—King Leopold underwent a most serious operation for obstruction of the intestines, and astounded science by the manner in which he withstood it. His remarkable recuperative powers manifested themselves directly he regained consciousness, and the optimistic spirit which he has shown throughout his illness returned to him. He expressed satisfaction when informed of the details of the operation. The king is making a plucky fight for life. He was even strong enough to sign the new military law, just passed by the senate. LATE NEWS NOTES. Myra McHenry, who has frequently been arrested for chopping up saloons with her hatchet, has left Wichita, Kani., for Washington, D. C., where she says she will keep tab on congress this winter. When the city officials of Wichita learned that she wanted to go east they took up a collection to defray her expenses: What is believed to have been the first presidential mansion in the United States is being torn down in New York city to make way for a structure paying larger revenues. It was known as the old Van Alten house, and stood under one of the immense arches of the Brooklyn bridge on Cherry Hill. It was to this house that President Washington returned after taking the oath of office, and there he resided from April 23, 1789, to February 23, 1790. The final appraisal of the estate of the late E. H. Harriman fixes the total at $149,000,000. His widow, therefore, becomes the richest woman in the world. Professor Robert J. Sprague of the University of Maine in an address before the Women's Literary union, said: "Divorce is not an evil. It is rather a patent medicine, taken to relove the ills of the family. The only remedy for divorce will be found in a co-operative working by the family and in a spiritual rather than an economic uplion. The zenith of individualism has been reached. Woman has become a household pet. Man holds her an elegant home and puts her in it. From then on man and woman cease to be partners." The North Carolina board of agriculture has passed a regulation having for it to purpose the keeping of the boll weevil out of this state. The regulation forbids the cotton seed, cotton seed hulls, loose cotton in any-shape and baled cotton unless compressed from Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and Alabama. Completed statistics of the football season closed on Thanksgiving day give a total of thirty-three deaths and two hundred and sixteen seriously injured as the frightful result. Of the killed, twenty-one were high school boys and nine college men. Of the injured one hundred and seventy-one college men and forty school boys. In college men and forty school boys, preparatory school authorities have launched a new movement for reform in the rules of the game. Washington. The marking of the graves of the Confederate dead who died in northern prisons probably will occupy all of next year, and Secretary of War Dickinson has asked for an extension of time for performing this work after February 26, when the legislative authority will expire. General William C. Oates is the commissioner charged with the duty of marking these graves and Secretary Dickinson says that while General Oates has been diligently at work, it is still incomplete. He thinks, however, that it can be finished within the next calendar year. The government of Houduras, apprehending an armed invasion, has proclaimed martial law throughout the republic. This information reached the state department but no indication was given as to the source from which the invasion was expected. The president was called upon by the senate to furnish it information concerning action taken under the treaty of March 1, 1905, for the suppression of the "white slave" trade. President Taft's speech, delivered at Winona, Minn., during his recount tour, in which he sustained the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, will be presented as a senate document. An order to this effect was given by the senate. The "Thomson meteorite," which fell in McDuffee county, Georgia, nearly twenty years ago, has been received by the Smithsonian Institution in this city through the courtesy of George H. Plant of Macon, Ga. A gun is being designed in the army arsenal for the purpose of shooting drigible balloons and aeroplanes. The chief of the ordinance in his annual report to the secretary of war submitted outlines of some of the difficulties which the gun must overcome. "Dirigible balloons and aeroplanes move rapidly, change directions quickly, alter their elevations at will and are removed from any objects that assist aiming," points out the ordinance chief. Tired of having American naval officers take a back seat at foreign funerals, weddings and other gatherings with an international tinge to them, Rear Admiral Potter, aid of personnel to the secretary of the navy, wants congress to revive the rank of vice admiral. The rank of rear admiral has been conferred upon A. C. Dillingham and Hugh Osterhaus by the navy department. Rear Admiral Osterhaus has been assigned to the command of the Fourth division of the Atlantic battleship fleet. Merchandise not exceeding $10 in value and meeting the postal regulations as to weight, may now be sent through the mails to and from the Philippine Islands, Heretofore all merchandise had to go by express or freight. Mail order houses of the military relatives and friends of Philippine employees successfully petitioned the treasury department for the waiver of the order denying Philippine merchandise the mailing privilege. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society The undersigned Treasure of the State of Georgia, hereby acknowledges to have received from the Secretary of the State of Georgia the following described Dear Reginald Dawson of Georgia, Elevation, Company (Company No. 14010, number, serial for Dawson's Good Company, date 1924. GREAT NATURAL WEALTH Georgia is Very Rich in Mineral Resources REPORT OF STATE GEOLOGIST Polk, Bartow And Floyd Counties Are Rich in Limestone And Shale Deposits. Atlanta, Ga.-Few people realize the tremendous natural wealth of Georgia, and the state geological board, under the direction of Professor McCallie is working hard all the time to get data of this kind in such shape that the outside world will see the state's great, wealth and develop it properly. A meeting of the state geological board was held in Governor Brown's office and Professor McCallie read a most interesting report on the work of his department for the past several months. He showed that the great iron deposits of Georgia are being developed more and more every year. He estimates the water power of the state, if fully developed, to be worth fully $20,000,000 a year to the state. He also gave much attention to the limestone deposits of North Georgia. Bartow, Polk and Floyd are especially rich in limestone. That is Bartow is more suitable for making commercial lime, while that of Polk and Floyd is better for cement Polk has a cement plant and a large shale brick plant at Rockmart. Vast quantities of kaolin from Twiggs county are being shipped to all parts of the world, the bulk of it being exported. It is largely used in the manufacture of fine carna and Professor McCallie is of the opinion that it should be manufactured here. Dr. T. Poole Maynard, assistant state geologist, during the quarter, completed field investigations of the limestone and shales in Barton county as far north as Kingston, in this county he reports the occurrence of excellent exposures of limestone of the Knox dolomite series, suitable for making lime and natural cement. He also completed field investigations in Polk county, where he found limestone in many places suitable for fluxing, and suitable shales, for the manufacture of fine brick. Field work was likewise completed in Floyd county, where many limestones were found suitable for plasters and general agricultural purposes. Professor McCallie spoke very en thrustastically of the artesian water supply of south Georgia. "Unfortunately, it seems to be an altogether too common opinion among persons living in the north and west that south Georgia is generally unhealthy, due, mainly, to its bad waters. To demonstrate that such a condition of affairs does not exist, but just the opposite conditions obtain, is the points the department wishes to bring out in its publications on the water supply system of south Georgia. Mr. McCallie says: "If I were called on to select from a sanitary standpoint, the best drinking vaters of the state. I would unhesitatingly select the artesian well waters of south Georgia. That section can hardly realize what a great blessing they have in an inexhaustible and uncontainable water supply." WAR ON "BLIND TIGERS." Macon, Ga.—Practically a uniform fight, with all interests working together, against the illegal sale of intoxicants in Macon, is to be made at least for a while. The people who operate soft drink places and dispense light beers have called upon Mayor John Moore and promised support in rooting out the "tigers." But few of the saloon people are hostile to the plan. THROUGHOUT THE STATE. The big advance in the price of cotton as a result of the government's low estimate on the crop, caused some excitement in the Columbus market, and sales were quite brisk. The price had fallen off considerably went back to 15 cents, and many farmers who had been holding their supply, sold on the advance. In many instances the warehouse men wore holding the supply of their patrons for the 15-cent mark. This of course was disposed of, which made the local sales quite heavy. Active work on building the trans mission lines from the Central Georgia Power Company plant on the Oculuge river to Macon via Forsyth is under way. The right-of-way has been secured and all timber for a distance of one, hundred feet is being cut down. Material for the steel towers, to be constructed every five hundred feet, is being received. It will require several weeks to build this line into Macon. The committee on arrangements has completed the preliminary work for the National Hookworm congress to be held in Atlanta January 18 and 19, and has arranged a tentative, program. Invitations have been sent out to the various state health officers, officers of city boards of health, officers of six hundred commercial bodies in the south, and chief medical officers of insurance companies doing business in this section to be present and participate in the congress. In addition to this, the governor of each southern state has been asked to appoint a delegation of representative men, including physicians and laymen, from each congressional district of their states The third session of the cotton school will be held in Athens by the state college of agriculture next month, opening on January 3 and continuing for a period of ten days. In addition to the work on cotton breeding and culture there will be work on soils, fertilizers and feed stuffs provided. There is an admission fee of $1, and any one over sixteen years of age can attend, and gain valuable information. As board can be obtained very cheaply, the course will be practically free. To forget a wrong is to forgive it ten times over. P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President. GEORGIA NEWS IN PARAGRAPHS. Invitations are being sent out by Pension Commissioner J. W. Lindsay to the surviving members of the legislature of 1884-85, urging them to be present 'at the coming reunion, which will be held in Atlanta on December 23. Commissioner Lindsey has received a large number of replies, and among them now and then a letter announcing the death of one of those who was thought to be still-mong the living. He expresses the belief, however, that fully 50 per cent of the members of that general assembly are still living. The extraordinary session of this general assembly will be convened in the hall of the house of representatives at 10 o'clock on the morning of December 22, and will be presided over by former Governor-Henry D. McDaniel. Arrangements for a banquet are also being made. This was the legislature that enacted the first local-option law in Georgia. It was the same also which was adjourned by Henry W Grady, a private citizen, on the occasion of the election of a democratic president, Grover Cleveland. Half a dozen governors have replied favorably to the request of the Atlanta chamber of commerce to appoint delegates to the anti-hookworm conference to be held in Atlanta under its auspices, January 18. The governors themselves state they would be glad to attend personally, but for the fact that the conference of governors with the president is to be held about that time in Washington. They will, however, send delegations to take part in the Atlanta meeting, which will bring together many prominent physicians, state health or ficeers and others, including several members of John D. Rockefeller's commission for the eradication of the hookworm. "The Atlanta chamber of "The comptroller of the currency has authorized the Byrom National bank of Byromville, to begin business. Its capital is $25,000. J. S. Byrom is president, W. H. Byrom and S. D. Byrom, vice presidents, and W. E. Dawson, cashier. The Central of Georgia railway's check for $105,694.58 to cover taxes due the state, was received in the state treasurer's office and 'added to the funds already lying there.' This is the star remittance thus far on the treasury's book of current receipts. Several thousand teachers throughout Georgia were made happy by the receipt of Christmas money. A total of $223,000 was sent to the various counties over the state. This payment will make about 30 per cent of the amount due the teachers. With money rolling into the state treasury in a steady stream now, it is hoped to make another payment of fifteen per cent about the end of the month. This will mean a sum of about $375,000 and will bring the payments up to 45 per cent. The latter part of January and early in February $840,000 will be needed to pay to Confederate pensioners. The treasury surplus is now creeping toward the million-dollar mark, and the January taxes, which will be very heavy, will bring in sufficient to pay the pensioners.

This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has compiled with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens. Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business.

On account of his absence in Europe, where he has been studying the tuberculosis problem, Dr. Brown was unable to attend the recent meeting of the legislative committee at the state sanitarium. He is, however, very much interested in the welfare of the sanitarium and particularly in the matter of exterminating tuberculosis among the inmates. He was requested by Governor Brown to submit a tentative plan for the protection of the inmates. Dr. Brown suggesten that he thought the inmates should be examined at regular intervals, the tuberculum test promptly applied to all suspected of having the disease, and prompt measures taken to segregate and instruct in self-protection those having the disease. If the disease could thus be taken in hand in its incipient stages, the patients could be cured and the spread of the disease checked. John Lively, who was convicted at the September, 1939, term of the city court of Atlanta and sentenced to ten months in jail, has had his sentence commuted by Governor Brown. The governor also commuted the sentence of Fred Irbey, convicted in Houston supremier court of carrying concealed weapons, and given twelve months. He is suffering from a painful affliction and is unable to work. He will pay a fine of $35 in lieu of finishing out his term. The burning of a house formerly owned by E. L. Dodson of Rockmar, drew from the latter a telegraphic protest addressed to Governor Brown, and a request for the protection on his property from Black Hand out rages. "Accompanying this was another telegram from E. D. Hill, stating that Black Hand notices—were being posted over Polk county. Immediately upon receiving these messages, Governor Brown wired Sherl J. E. Dempsey of Polk county, directing him to make prompt and careful investigation into the matter. The contract for the construction of the additional building for the use of the reformatory at the state farm was awarded to Knight & Sandford of Athunta. The contract price is $4,500, and the building is to be completed by March 15. When the new building is finished it will permit separation of the white and negro boys at the institution, and will give space for a hospital, which is an emergent need. President Andrew M. Soule of the Georgia State College of Agriculture has received a telegram from Governor Eberhart of Minnesota, asking if he was available for the position on president of the State College of Agriculture of Minnesota at $6,000 per annum. This college is the foremost agricultural college in the United States, and has over one thousand students. President Soule wired Governor Eberhart that he was not available; he will stay in Georgia and with the Georgia State College. He is deeply attached to the work, and the people and the educators here are congratulating Georgia on his prompt decision to remain here. STATE BAPTIST CALL. Office Recording Secretary M. B. C. of Georgia, Route No. 5, Box No. 47, Hawkinsville, Ga. October 1st, 1909. To the Brethren of the Missionary Baptist Convention of Georgia; In view of the fact that we are to meet again in annual session, in the month of November this year, I have deemed it expedient to address this circular letter to the Brotherhood. First. Let it be borne in mind that we will not be favored with the certificate plan in November, account the convention; but instead of getting certificates there will be reduced rate return tickets on sale November 7, 8 and 9, from all points in Georgia to Atlanta. Rates of 3 cents per mile plus 25c, with final limits to return November 16th, 1909. This arrangement is cheaper than using the certificates. There is to be an automobile exhibition in Atlanta the same time, and the rate above mentioned has been granted on that account. So when I applied for the usual certificate plan the Company advised me that it would make said rate apply to Convention also. Connection with the programmes, I send you this letter so that there will be no mistake. Take due notice, and be governed accordingly. We have learned that changing the Convention from June to November does not meet the approval of a host of brethren. It will be remembered that the change was recommended in the President's annual address, which paper was referred to a committee; the committee reported favorably and subsequently the convention adopted and approved it by her votes. Let's go up to Atlanta in full force, and if the change is not the best, let's urge that the convention may rescind its action; but, personally, I think the change from June to November is best. 1st. It's a time in the year when the majority of the laymen have some money that they can give, as well as the pastors. 2nd. Every farmer in our convention who is interested in our work could plant one or two acres of cotton specially for conventional purposes, and in November of each year a great contest could be worked up among the farmers. 3rd. The associations belonging to our convention will have met and closed at this season—and they could send by their moderator or representative their annual donation direct to the convention, and through that medium, if properly worked up and given a fair trial before we decide to change from November back to June, it will only be a question of time before we can lay on the conventional table from three to five thousand dollars. 4th. Now, we have some white friends who have, and are still stand- SOL. C. JOHNSON Notary Public.

There are some outstanding claims, which your secretary and treasurer are compelled to meet, because all we have in the way of property stands subject to claims we made for the convention. Should you fall to provide for us so that we can meet your creditors, legal steps will be taken against us immediately. Now, if you cannot come to Atlanta, please send $1.00 as your enrollment fee, and a donation from your church. Address your letter to the convention in care of the secretary. Whatever amount sent will be promptly reported and a receipt for the same will be mailed to you in return from Atlanta, I am, Yours, for success, J. A. KIRKLAND, Rec. Sec. M. B. C. of Georgia. "I hope you don't mind my asking, said a woman diffidently, "but should I call you professor or doctor? Oh, call me anything you like, was the great man's rejoinder. "Some people call me an old idiot. GEORGE. He Ran the House For Pa Eastman While the Women Were Away. It was late in the afternoon when the door bell rang. Thomas Eastman regrettedly put down his book and went to the door. "A tall young man confronted him. The young man smiled. He was a pleasant faced young man, who wore a somewhat dingy business suit and a soft hat. "I am a stranger in the city, sir," he began. Thomas Eastman smiled grimly. "You are, or you wouldn't come to me." The young man's smile broadened. "I am not seeking pecuniary assistance," he said. "All I desire is a little advice." Thomas Eastman stared at him. "What's the game?" he asked. "I read the papers pretty carefully, but this seems to be a new one." "I should be sorry if it became common," said the young man. There was something winning about the young man's smile. The older man felt drawn to him. "Come in," he said. "I'm a little hard pressed just now for schemes to kill time. Perhaps you can help me out." "Nothing; at the present moment could give me greater pleasure," said the young man. "Sit down," said Thomas Eastman. "But don't palaver. I'm not the sort of man that a fine line of talk can influence." "Then you wouldn't care for the story of my life?" said the stranger. The older man looked at him keenly. "The standard works of fiction are quite enough for me," he said in his abrupt way. "And now tell me what you want and don't twaddle." The young man ran his hand through his thick hair. "I cannot conceal a natural embarrassment," he began. "Pooh, pooh," cried the older man. "Don't attempt to conceal the non-existent. Speak right out." "Thank you for your kind encouragement," said the stranger. He hesitated a moment. "I know that I am occupying an unpleasant position. It prejudices you against me." "It doesn't take a mind reader to find that out," grumbled the older man. "You are a business man, sir, a man familiar with the ways of the world, with its weaknesses and its limitations." "I admit it. Go ahead. I am a business man." "But retired." "Eh! Who told you that?" "The postman." The old man growled. "If the United States Government has begun to spread the news I suppose there is no use splitting words over it. I have retread from business. I'm sixty years old and fancy I've done my full share of work. I had a chance to sell out—and I sold. Now I mean to enjoy myself—in a quiet way, of course. Does this sufficiently supplement the postman's official information?" The young man nodded. "Yes, thank you," he said. "And being out of business myself—although not for the same reason—I had an impression that you might favor me with your sympathy." The older man suddenly laughed. "That's good," he cried. "The man who has battled with work all his life is appealed to by a man who avoids it. You have a keen sense of humor, my young friend." The stranger bowed. "I trust you didn't turn in your own sense of humor as a transferable asset, slr, when you sold out." The older man smiled grimly. "I still have it with me," he said. "Otherwise you wouldn't be sitting there. But, come, you' said you wanted my advice. Speak up." "The stranger's face suddenly brightened." "I hoped you would tell me, sir," he said, "where I can stay all night. My funds are rather low and it isn't easy for a stranger to obtain employment at once." He paused with his dark eyes on the older man's face. There-was a brief silence. "How old are you?" "Twenty-eight." "Who is your favorite novelist?" "Dickens." "Which of his stories do you enjoy the most?" "Nicholas Nickleby." The older man stared at his visitor. "You can stay here tonight," he muttered. "Thank you," said the stranger. "I don't want to be a burden," he added. "What can I do to make myself useful?" The old man suddenly laughed. "Are you a handy man, youngster?" "I think so. I've knocked around quite a little." "Know anything about running a house?" "I've never had a house to run, sir, but I'm not afraid to make myself generally useful." "That sounds good. Perhaps I'll give you a test you won't like. In fact, you might as well understand that you are going to earn your night's lodging." The young man smiled at this intimation. "I understand," he said. He stood up. "Awaiting orders, sir." "Hold. on." said the older man. "For fear you will begin to ask questions." A Thought For the Week If there only were a path which one could choose once for all, and then walk in it with a careless mind, life would be much easier than it is. But the path is always narrow and often obscure; every step requires both judgment and choice; and most of us are continually stepping off on the one side or the other, and, in consequence, getting mired, if nothing worse. One cannot think once for all and then live thoughtlessly; he cannot choose once for all and then live carelessly; every day and every hour he must make his choice between the narrow path of virtue and the vice which lies all the way on either side of him.—Dr. Lyman Abbott. tions, I will explain the situation." He hesitated for a moment. "I am here alone in the house. My wife has gone away—a visit to a sister who is ill—and my daughter went with her. They didn't want to leave me. My daughter would have stayed, but my wife is not well and couldn't travel alone. Besides, I insisted on their going. I wouldn't even have the malds remain. I gave them both a vacation. You see I am a man of decision. I told them I could take care of myself—that I would enjoy doing it. I wanted to be alone with my books—I haven't had much chance to read during the last twenty years—and I thought I would enjoy working about the lawn and the garden. I determined, too, that I would keep myself—cook for myself, and feed myself. And when they laughed and protested I became all the more determined. I know it wrored them. They both hated to leave me alone. But I am a man of decision. What's your name, young man?" "A man of decision, George. Of course my wife would worry—it's the first time we have been separated since we were married. But, of course, that doesn't interest you. Come out and take a look at my kitchen." The stranger followed the older man to the rear apartment. A moment later he took off his coat and hung it on a convenient hook. He fastened an apron about his neck and went to work. The old man stared at him for a moment. Then he looked at his watch. “五-thirty,” he said. “While you are cleaning up things, George, I'll get the dinner.” “Going to throw in a dinner with the night's lodging?” the young man asked. The older man .huckled. "It isn't going to be a dinner that need disturb your conscience any," se said. "It will be much more apt to unsettle your digestion." And he suddenly laughed. "What's the matter with me?" he cried. "That's the first time I've laughed in a week." The young man filled the teakettle at the faucet over the sink. He stared about him at the piles of grimy dishes and pans and culinary utensils scattered about in all stages of disorder. Then he fell to whistling. The older man paused and looked at him, frying pan in hand. "That's a fine whistle you have, youngster," he said. "I never could learn the trick." The whistle suddenly stopped. "You are dropping your sausages, sir," the young man said. The older man straightened the pan and hastily picked up the fallen food. "I suppose there's no use dusting them off," he ruefully remarked. "Oh, well, there'll be four left—and I'm not very keen for them myself." It couldn't be called an appetizing dinner. The sausages were badly fried, the bread was old, the tea too strong. "Come on, George," said the older man in the dining room door. "Do you want me to eat with you?" the young man asked. "Of course I do," the older man cried. "This is a pure democracy, young man—barring the dirt. Besides, I'm sick as death of eating the blamed stuff alone." The young man gravely nodded and washed his hands and removed his apron, and they sat down together, and despite its other shortcomings the dinner was a social success. "I'm mighty glad to have somebody to talk to," the older man declared. "You make me forget the food." It was pretty late when the stranger got things straightened out in the kitchen to his satisfaction. The older man had been of very little help. As he took pains to declare, he was very much more expert at getting things out of place than in remembering where they belonged. "Well," he presently said, "I fancy it is time for bed." The young man looked up from the cut glass bowl he was carefully wiping. "How about the chamber work?" he gravely asked. "Won't that have to be done first?" The old man laughed until he cried. "See here, you George," he finally said, "don't you know it's less majeste for a guest to indulge in covert sneers at the host's housekeeping? Your bed hasn't been disturbed since Mrs. Eastman went away. It may need a little dusting, but that's all. Come, I want to see you safely started. And another thing, boy. Just as an item of useful information, it might, be well for you to know that I have a revolver close at hard and am a light sleeper." "I have no revolver," said the young man, "and I sleep like Rip Van Winkle." "Just another word," remarked the older man. "Our solid silver is all in the safe deposit vaults, and there is no jewelry in the house." "Admirable precautions," remarked the young man. Then he slyly added, "It might have been wiser if you had locked up the kitchen utensils, too." The older man was still laughing when he said good night. The next morning Thomas Eastman awoke with a start. He heard a subdued clatter down stairs, and the aroma of coffee drifted through the room. "It's that confounded vagabond," he muttered and suddenly laughed. "Well, I'm glad he didn't take to his heels this morning." And when he went down stairs he found an appetizing breakfast awaiting him. There were bacon and eggs, and buttered toast, and sliced peaches, and excellent coffee. "George," said Thomas Eastman, "you are altogether too good to be true." He stared at him in his earnest fashion. "I'm going to throw prudence to the winds," he said. "I did if when I decided I'd keep house. I'm going to do it again. I don't know anything about you, boy. You may have learned to cook and wash dishes in a reformatory, but I'm going to ask you to stay here with me and we'll camp out together. What do you say? The young man suddenly laughed. "I'd like it first rate," he said. "How's the coffee?" "Never tasted better. Where did you learn how to make it—if the answer doesn't incriminate you?" "In India. They make it very well over there." The old man stared at him. "Pretty far fetched," he said. "And where did you get the eggs and the other things?" "At the grocer's near the railway crossing." I told him the things were for you and he trusted me." The older man shook his head. "You're a dangerous man, George," he said, "but I can't help admiring your nerve. Get that in India, too?" And he laughed until he choked and was forced to take another cup of the excellent coffee. "With your approval there will be two or three reforms inaugurated here," the young man said. "In the first place, we must find another milkman. This one is getting careless. And I've given the iceman warning. If he attempts to work another light weight fifty-pound piece on us there is going to be trouble. I had a talk with him this morning." "Not with that big hulk of a fellow with the curly hair?" "He's big and his hair is curly. He didn't like my interference. In fact, he was rather ugly about it. I had to bump his head against the side of the house to make him listen to reason. If you heard the noise, that's what it was. I was sorry afterwards that I did it." The older man stared at him. "I'd have given a tenner to have seen you do it, boy," he said with keen regret. "I never liked that big ruffman. You go right ahead and do all the reforming you can, George—and the next time there's any fun in it don't forget to call me." So this oddly assorted pair took up the cares of housekeeping together, and they made merry work of it. For two weeks their quaint partnership lasted and then it was suddenly dissolved. The absent ladies returned hime. They came quite without warning, but luckily the men were prepared for them. The morning's work was done, and the partners were quietly smoking in the little den. George answered the bell, but Thomas Eastman was close behind him—and in the tender greetings that followed the appearance of the ladies the junior partner was overlooked. "Why, Thomas," cried his wife, "you are looking better than you have looked for years." "You're ten years younger, daddy," cried Emily Eastman, "and as plump and rosy as a cherub." Thomas Eastman was much gratified. "And you laughed at me when I proposed keeping house by myself," he cried. "But here, you haven't met George. My wife and daughter, George." "How do you do, George?" said the mistress of the house as she warmly shook the young man's hand. "We are so grateful to you." "How do you do, George?" Emily echoed as she took his hand. "What's his other name, daddy?" The older man was puzzled by this unusual behavior. "I—I never thought to ask hlm," he answered. "Well, I can tell you, daddy," said Emily. "His name is George Temple, and he's the youngest son of Sir Richard Temple, of Essex. He's the young man I met in Canada, daddy—the young man who wants to marry me." Walt, daddy. He was coming to see you when we started away and mamma and I asked him to come and stay with you while we were gone. You see we were afraid you'd starve yourself, or poison yourself, or get malancholy, or something. And we wanted George to come here and look after you and get, acquainted." The old man flushed and shook his head at the smiling George. "My better judgment told me you were a deceler from the very start," he growled. "An Englishman, eh? Didn't I tell you, Emily, that you should never marry an Englishman with my consent?" "Pardon me," said George, "but I am only half an Englishman. My mother was a Baltimore girl." "A penniless vagabond," growled the old man. "Not quite so bad as that," said George. "I've got some money banked in Montreal that I would like to have you invest for me." They all looked at, Thomas Eastman. "Come here," he said to the young man, and drew back a little. "Not a word about that kitchen," he whispered. "Not a word, sir." "I don't want to appear hard hearted," he said, "and I don't want to spoil your foolish little comedy. George is sorry for the part he took in it and perhaps we had better overlook his offense this time and keep him in the family." YES, THEY USED SOAP AND PLENTY OF IT. Trials of a Housewife Who Wanted to Buy, But Found Pedler Had Mostly Luxuries. "We have more than our share of canvassers and agents calling on us," she said, according to the Chicago Inter-Ocean. "They seem to think we have plenty of money and, at any rate, they are sure of being civilly treated. Sometimes, however, we are not so profitable as they may have hoped we would be. One came to my apartment a few days ago—really, a very nice little woman—widow—trying to make a living for herself and two children, and almost before she asked me I decided I would try to buy something from her if she had anything I could possibly use, as I wanted to—well, you know—to help her realize abundance. "I asked her in and she opened her sample case. She had been wise enough to secure really desirable articles, and she began to explain." "I have some excellent extracts," she said. "Here, for instance, is an extract of mint—for mkling mint jelly, you know, and mint sauce, to use with lamb stew." "Ah, yes, I stammered, 'I am sure it must be good—but, you see, I—that is, we—we rarely eat meat any more—not that Christian Scientists have any rules against eating meat, but—well, we don't believe in the killing, you know, and so we have dropped meat off our list." "Oh, yes, I understand. Well, then, you would not care for the mint extract. Well, here I have a very choice allspice—for flavoring fruit cakes, mince pies and desserts." "Um—ah—well, we really live so simply, you know—we almost never eat pastries or any kind of cakes—not that we have any rules against such things, you understand, but merely that we don't seem to care for them any more—" "Perhaps you would like some perfumes. I have some delightful violet—" "Oh, dear, I never use perfumes. Yes, they are choice, I know. I wish for you sake that I needed some, but really I—" "Really, my dear, I was so embarrassed, I can't tell you! I had no idea how many things I had eliminated until I was brought face to face with all these ordinary toilet articles that nearly every woman uses as freely as she does water. I began to feel that I simply should have to give the woman some money and let her go, when suddenly her face lighted up and she exclaimed—in the most relieved and hopeful tone. 'Now I have it! Here is some soap—very delicate and choice. I know you use soap.'" "Oh, indeed we do, and plenty of it." "And, really, my dear, I was so overjoyed that she had something I could conscientiously buy that I took all she had except a few samples that she could not spare." WORDS OF WISDÔM. When you hear a man boasting that he understands women it's a safe bet that he has never been married. A man's friends can sometimes make him more uncomfortable than his enemies. Many a man who tells you he is deserving is lucky to escape what he deserves. When a girl boasts that she has a man at her feet we are apt to wonder who threw him there. The woman who makes her own clothes doesn't have to boast of it. The other women knew it without being told. From the rolling stone's point of view moss may not be a desirable asset. There are almost as many different brands of reform as there are of religion. Some people never know good thing when they see it because they seem to think the good thing should recognize them first—From "Musings of a Gentle Cynic," in the New York Times. 10 SUPPRESSING THE VOTE.

A compact and efficient fire-fighting apparatus that is a big improvement over the old-fashioned system, that required a string of buckets hanging along the wall, has been designed by a New York man. This apparatus consists of a tank, inside of which is a device for centering the buckets as they are lowered into it, so that each Each Comes Out Full. bucket fits into the one below it, and they are thus "nested," a series of them occupying little more space than one would take up. The tank is filled with water or with some specially prepared fire-fighting fluid, and holds enough to insure each bucket being filled as it is drawn out. There is no time lost in seizing a bucket and running to another, place to fill it, and everyone knows that speed is an essential feature in fighting flames. The apparatus not only does away with an unsightly row of buckets, but expedites the work of combating the blaze to an important degree. Kindly Old Plug. Auntie—"Are you sure this horse is gentle?"

Cause of Tidal Waves The great tidal waves observed at Marseilles on June 15, 1909, appear to have been caused by unusually high electrical charge of the atmosphere, which is known to have existed during the period of the earthquakes which devastated the south of France. The powerful attraction exerted on the surface of the earth by this electric charge caused earthquakes on land and tidal waves in the Mediterranean.—Scientific American. The False Teeth Trade. Some idea of the general use of false teeth may be gathered from the statement that twenty millions of them are exported from America to England every year. When we consider that probably not indigestion half the inhabitants of Great Britain indulge in the luxury of false teeth, no matter how many grinders they may have lost, these figures would seem to indicate that nearly every one in England suffers from defective or missing teeth. As far as observation goes, the United States is not better-off than England in this respect. —Rt-Bits. Can't Knock Down Fares. If the trolley companies that are experimenting with pay-willn, and pay-as-you-enter cars could make use of the invention of a Nebraskan their difficulties would be solved and conductors with peculiar ideas of ownership, would find it impossible to knock down fares. This invention is a passenger register for public vehicles, but is adapted for use in carriages and coaches and not in cars. The seats are in sockets and mounted on Tells Distance, Too. springs. When not in use they are partly raised, but when a person sits on them they close and set in operation an electric-registering device, which registers the length of time a person is seated, the number of persons who use the seat and the distance covered during the time the said seats are occupied. The last-mentioned figures are obtained by means of a chain gear which is attached to a wheel of the carriage, and which works after the method of the device used in taxi-cabs. Snow Houses. The figure of a trefoil affords the best idea of the snow houses of the Eskimos. They are about nine feet in diameter and seven or eight feet in height. The inner passage is twenty feet long, and constructed to exclude the cold air, and is widened in parts to house the dogs belonging to the households. The huts are made of square blocks of snow, and round, the interior lies a seat of the same material, upon which the skins of animals are thrown for seats and beds. —Home Notes.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1909 The awful tragedy that occurred on Friday of last week is regretted by THE TRIBUNE and all of its readers, and the wish has been and is fervently expressed for the apprehension of the guilty person and a swift and legal punishment meted out to him regardless of color. Our.Officials and Citizens Commented. The recent tragedy in this city was the worst ever happened here. It was sufficient to arouse the passion of every peaceful citizen. It was first announced that the accused was a colored man. In many other places other than Savannah there would have been much trouble for the colored people, but not here. We have a more conservative and law loving class of white citizens and they believe in allowing the law to take its course. The officials acted well their parts and the citizens were not demonstrative. The daily papers were the conservators of the city's best interest and said nothing to stir up feeling. Especially is the afternoon paper to be commended for its conciliatory editorial. The morning paper did its part along this line. An interviewer in The Press said concerning the misleading accounts of the out of town papers; "The principal imposition in this connection seems to have been put up on the Associated Press. The night report of the tragedy sent to this great news gathering agency was the most sensational item that has been on the wires in Savannah for some time. It is possible the Associated Press will this afternoon be called upon for an explanation. "Parts of this dispatch were sent back to Savannah papers the next day in the regular press service. It was too lurid to be printed. This was the service that was used in the Atlanta Journal and Augusta Herald and other papers in Georgia. The dispatch was written at night and the correspondent evidently gave free rein to his fane, and President Parker of the retail Merchants' Association, probably thinks that something should be done to let the newspapers publishing the offending stories know how the people here feel about them. "The New York Herald which had a special from Savannah, sent presumably by its regular correspondent here, was probably the worst offender of any one paper. It declared there was a race war imminent because of the crime, and to read the Herald's story one would think there was to be a regular butchery of whites and blacks if something was not done to pacify the conflicting races. It was a good story to sell, but was far rom being truthful. "The New York Sun also contained a somewhat lurid sent by this telegram was not sent by the accreted representative of the Sun in Savannah. I am reliably informed but went from outside sources. It was probably written by some one who valued the few dollars it would bring more than he did the reputation of his city. The regular correspondent of the Sun, I am advised, sent in a very short and conservative story of the crime. The regular correspondent of the Atlanta Journal was careful not to send anything sensational, although the dispatch from Savannah to the Journal telling of the murder carried a 'special' line, the news printed was from the night report of the Associated Press. Send Articles In Earlier. Send Articles in Earlier Unlike a number of our contemporaries THE TRIBUNE can not afford to take holidays and will be published as usual during the Christmas and New Year weeks.

Thus St. Mary's Society is the strongest society in the St. Benedict's Church; it has about 50 members. Its object is most commendable, as it is both beneficial and charitable. The officers of the coming year were elected. They are Mrs. S. Cuyler, president; Mrs. M. Lapham, vice president; Mr. J. Dowse, secretary; Mrs. O. D'Lyons, treasurer; Mrs. C. Mills, chairlady of the sick committee; and Mrs. C. Ford, sergeant at arms.

All the old and new members are cordially invited to be present at the occasion. The Catholic Mutual Aid Society will give a grand festival at the Harris street hall on January 4th. Help our men to make that festival a great success.

A beautiful crib will be erected in the church. Come and see it. Lookout for the first issue of St. Benedict's Messenger on January first. St. Anthony's Mission. West Savannah The joyful festival of Christmas which reminds us of the nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ and of our redemption is near at hand. Hence joy and exultation in every christian heart all over the world. Man is full of hope and begins to feel a new life in his mortal body, for the thought of the coming Saviour gives him a new claim and fills his soul with gladness and joy. Profiting by the occasion, the priests of the recently established mission of St. Anthony of Padua, shall have, for the first time, solemn service in their new little chapel on Christmas morning at 9:30 o'clock. Immediately after mass, at 10:15, the Christmas exercises given by our pupils will take place in our pretty class rooms, which will be nicely decorated. The Christmas tree, of course, will be a special feature on the festive occasion. Santa Claus also will show up with a nice Christmas box, for everyone of our dear little folks, and besides, that prizes will be awarded, according to merit to the best of our scholars. Hearty thanks to our good friends, whose generosity enables us to proclaim such glad Christmas tidings. The good work performed in St. Anthony's school, since its opening in October last seems to be highly appreciated by the whole population of West Savannah; and be it said: the good behavior of our children and their rapid progress in the various branches they are taught in, is simply marvellous; all praise to our unwearying teachers Miss B. White and Miss J. Miller. We desire to extend our most hearty invitation, for the solemn occasion, to all our friends, to the parents of our school children and their families, wishing them all the blessings of the season and a "Merry, Merry Christmas." Henceforth, the priests of St. Anthony's will hold divine service: Mass and sermon every Sunday at 10 a.m., and the Sunday school will take place at 3 p.m., followed by the benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. F. A. B. Church. In a manner the pastor Rev. W. L. Jones was physically unable to preach on last Sunday, but through perseverance, which is the characteristic of him, he preached a fine sermon from the Lamentations of Jeremiah 4:1 at the 11 o'clock service. The regular order of service was laid aside at 8:30 p. m., for a "Musical Program" which was rare, sacred and superb in rendition. The choir sang a beautiful anthem for the opening which was followed by a very touching prayer offered by Rev. E. C. Rogers. Miss Ethel Grant played a splendid organ voluntary. Misses Emma White and Lula Bachelor sang very sweetly a duet. Miss Mattie E. Victory read a paper, subject "What is worth while" which was very select. A chorus of students of Beach Institute rendered a rich selection. Several of the teachers were present. Mr. J. H. Hopkins in a very graceful manner delivered a recitation "The Drunkards fate" which well elicited the pathos of his hearers. The choir pealed forth in harmony the beautiful anthem "Sweet Hour of Prayer" Miss L. G. McIntosh and Mrs. Dr. Ford were accompanists. Mr. Chas. H. Anderson with his sweet tenor voice, Dr. J. F. Ford, et al, filled the auditorium with such sweet chords of music in a quartette, that their reappearance was always applauded. Mrs. Julia Ward and Mrs. Susan Crawford did well in a duet entitled "Come Holy Spirit." Mr. J. H. C. Jenkins rendered a bass solo which was loudly applauded for its melody. Miss Mamye L. Jones read a fine paper, subject "The Lost Chord" which conveyed a deal of biblical facts. Mr. E. W. Sherman read a paper on "Music," it was a masterpiece in eloquence and the complete definition of music. He held the audience spell bound as he layished his thoughts on the effects that music had on God, man and too, on the battlefields. Miss May Stewart rendered a very sweet solo which won for her many laurels. Mrs. Jennie Blake sang a beautiful solo which was applauded. Mr. J. E. Johnson barytone solo was a gem. Mr. J. A. Snyder filled well his part as master of ceremonies. Such program a rendered on this occasion is not only a rare treat to our people, but a realization of what our people can accomplish in the musical and literary arena. We enjoy just such evidence of accomplishments and do greatly thank the participants on the program for having made it possible for us to present such a splendid program. Our fair ended on Friday night last with a great success; considering the very changeable weather during its season. Brother Chas. Johnson of 550 Charles street have our sympathy in the illness of his wife Monday night will be our last conference in the old year. Each member is asked to contribute 25 cents on tomorrow, Sunday for a special purpose. St. Philip Dots. The members and friends of St. Philip attended each service in large numbers on last Sunday. Rev. R. H. Singleton, the new pastor, preached his introductory sermon beginning the conference year. The congregation and choir sang hymn 190, "Still far their loving kindness." Rev. Singleton's text was "Exodus 14:15, "The Lord shall fight for you and you shall hold your peace." The speaker compared the beginning of his administration with Moses and the children of Isreal; the soldier that rushes into battle is not the soldier that is always successful, but it is the one that stands still and wait on the Lord. As a whole it was a splendid discourse and every member should take the subject to him or herself and say I am determined to go forward and do my part in the upbuilding of God's temple. Rev. Lindsay and family left for Augusta this week where he will begin his year's work. Mrs. Malinda Maxwell, one of St. Philip's oldest members was buried from that church on last Sunday at 1 o'clock. Sister Maxwell died triumphant and has gone to her reward. The following service will be held tomorrow: Prayer meeting at 5:39 a.m. preaching at 11 a.m. and 8 p.m., Sunday School at 3 p.m. and A. C. L. at 4:30. Strangers are cordially invited. In behalf of the Auxiliary Board of St. Philip A. M. E. Church, at its meeting, Mrs. Carrie B. Rivers, presented Mrs. J. A. Lindsay with a purse of five dollars in a neat little speech, expressing the appreciation of the board for the excellent service rendered by Mrs. Lindsay. The donation was thankfully received. Second Baptist Church. The last covenant and communion services of the year were held here last Thursday night and Sunday. The communion services were grand; Rev. May was assisted by Rev. J. H. Rogers. The club leaders are pushing matters for the March rally and it will be watched with eager interest as to who will raise the $10.00 also who will report the largest amount Rev. May preached at Beth Eden in their 19th anniversary Wednesday night; our choir also sang there. The sick list is smaller than it has been this entire year. Two funerals; one being Brother Jack Houston. Meet Deacon W. R. Fields, the choir and pastor at the "Big Xmas morning Services" next Saturday at 5:45 a. m. A special sermon by the pastor. Deacon R. M. Davis has been elected Supt. and he insists upon all the scholars being out at 3:30 p. m. The pastor will preach at both hours tomorrow; his evening subject will be. "One Thing Needed" The roll call of members will be continued tomorrow at morning services; therefore all members should be present.

F B B Church Notwithstanding the inclement weather on Sunday night quite a crowd attended services. Rev. Wright read for the lesson Ps. 22: 1-23. The text was from John 3:16. the subject was "Love of God to a perishing world." The sermon was an excellent lesson to us as to how we should try to help others who are not Christians. The choir sang, "Glory be to the Father." Rev. Wright led the hymn "Am I a soldier of the cross." His remarks while inviting those who needed prayer to the mercy seat were very touching and certainly true. Quite a number bowed and Bio. James Crawford offered a soul stirring prayer in their behalf. Mayor Degree of Burroughs was present and spoke of the work he is trying to do. A collection was taken for his work. Rev. Wright, the deacons and members will be pleased to have you attend our services at any time. First Class catering can be had by calling on Mrs. M. Lockett Small, 817 West Broad street.

The happy Christmas season would be a great deal happier for all of us if we did not have to worry so much about the money needed to buy Christmas presents. It is the especial time of the yeat'when a big heart and a small purse are most in evidence. As a natural results, the more unselfish one is the one more likely to worry about the problem of Christmas giving. All of this is especially true because people are more and more turning to sensible, practical gifts as the most acceptable things to buy for their friends. A local store which is of the most useful kind, as offering a solution for Christmas worries is that of Menter & Rosenbloom Co., 107 Broughton street, w.r.t. This firm makes a special bid at this time for the patronage of all who wish to charge Christmas purchases. As they deal in men's, women's and children's clothing, furs, hats and shoes, it is evident that sensible gifts can be bought of them at a distinct advantage. Menter and Rosenbloom Co. are the largest credit clothiers in the world. Their local store is one of a train of 77 successful stores operating in all of the leading cities of the country. They own their own factory and sell clothing direct to customers. The business has increased wonderfully of recent years and is filling an absolute need for a larger number of patrons every year.

In loving remembrance of our darling OSCEOLA J LOCKETT, who departed this life one year ago Dec. 18th, 1908. One year ago you left us But a year seems like a day For mama misses you every day, As though it was yesterday. It seem as though There has been a cloud. That has centered in our home I have been sad my angle Ever since you left our home There is never a day my darling, That I have not wept for you Our home is all in sadness Because we miss you so But after all my darling When I look back on the day, That you left earth for heaven I pray to God for half the faith, With which you met the monster death; So that we all can meet in heaven Where we will part no more. His mother, Mary Lockett Smalls Ahl distinctly we remember That eighteenth day of December When you, dear brother did gently creep into the world of blessed sleep. We looked at thee and bitterly wept, But you into His arms had creep Than we dropped our heads and thought About your dear soul by Him being bought. But dear brother we will meet thee, In that great day of eternity Then we all will gather Around His throne forever and ever. His sister and brother, Louisa Lockett Chas. S. Lockett. In sad but loying remembrance of OSSEOLA J. LOCKETT, who died December 18, 1908. Dear as thou wert, as justly dear, We would not weep for thee: One thought shall check the starting tear It is that thou art free. And thus shall faith's coiling power The tears of love restrain Oh, who that saw thy paring hour Could wish thee here again? Triumphant in thy closing eye The hope of glory shone; Joy breathed in thy expiring sigh, To think the race was run. Gently the passing spirit fled, Sustained by grace divine; Oh, may such grace on us be shed, And make our end like thine. Nancy E Barnard. Coming Events in The Social World.

The marketable timber only is cut at regular-intervals, and new growth is always coming on. At a freight producer, a timber tract may be depended upon as surely as a potato field. In fact, it is surer; for land in farm crops wears out unless constantly fertilized, but timberland fertilizes itself with its leaves, and becomes richer. It will yield undiminished crops forever.—Indiana Farmer, Goats as Trail Makers. ' The brush eating instinct of the Angora goat is being successfully demonstrated on the Lassen National Forest in California where they are enting trails for fire guards through the brushy areas on the slopes of the mountains. The animals, which number 3000, have been divided into two bands and under the care of the herders are grazed within certain well defined areas so that their work may be concentrated on the brush within those limits. The result is that they have practically killed nearly all the brush in the course either by eating it up entirely, or by barking, as in the case of the heavy manzanita bushes. At the beginning of the experiment there was some doubt as to the goats' willingness to eat the manzanita, but it has been found that where there is little else they will just as readily attack it as any other bushes.—Indiana Farmer.

It consists of two rail pens of the ordinary sort, for the bottom of small stacks, placed near enough together so that the archway of poles can be made between them, in the manner shown in the engraving. The bottom end of each pole is set a short distance in the ground, resting in the middle on the top rail of the pen and crossing its neighbor pole from the other pen and fastened to it with a wire at the top. The straw stack is also, built at the sides over this structure. In this way a shug shelter of considerable size can be made beneath the stack, under which the cattle gladly take refuge in stormy weather. This structure is a permanent one, the rails and poles remaining, if necessary, from year to year, or if taken down, to be rearranged again in a short time just before the thrashing is done. Such an archway shelter would not be out of place in many a well-kept barnyard. If the stack is a longer one a double archway can be made and will save many steps in doing the work of the barnyard." The Young Fool. Young foals should be taught to eat grain at as early an age as possible, and not allowed to suckle the dam after five months old. A foal should have a roomy stall or shed and be allowed its freedom in a padock several hours a day when the weather is pleasant. It should have as much good hay as it cares to eat three times a day, but no more should be given than is eaten up clean before the next meal. The manger and feed-box should always be kept clean. In addition to hay, the foal should have oats, clipped hay and bran and some carrots. The morning feed should be about one quart of oat feed and one quart of wheat bran, and if this is mixed with a few handfuls of cut clover hay, so much the better. At noon the feed should be one or two quarts of cut up carrots and one quart of oat feed. The evening meal should be oats and bran, as much as the colt will clean up before morning. The quantities mentioned are for a well-grown hearty colt, but judgment must be exercised by the feeder.—Indiana Farmer. Rags and Iron Weeds, Etc. A subscriber from Daviss County wants to know how to kill out rag weed and iron weed, and also asks if foxtail and crabgrass are injurious to corn and if it would pay to cut them out. Foxtail and crabgrass generally come after plowing corn is all done, and as a general thing they do not hurt the growth of corn after the corn is caring, and if subscriber has many acres of corn it would almost bankrupt him to cut it out with hoes, at the present high prices of farm work. Rag weed is a good fertilizer for wheat, if turned under when full of sap, say about the first of August, using a heavy chain to draw the weeds under and out of sight, and the more weeds the better to insure a good crop of wheat. If the ground is not wanted for wheat this year, mow the weeds before they go to seed, and it is not yet too late, and sow grass seed and clover right away. The weeds will shade the grass and clover through the fall and winter and so have good pasture next year. Iron weed roots live in the ground through the winter, while the ragweed grows from the seed only, so the only remedy for iron weeds is the plow or close pasturing with sheep, for two or three years in succession, using salt freely on the weeds while the dew is on, or just after rain. The same remedy holds good on all weeds that live through the winter by the roots, and also for brilars and bushes of all kinds. Salt is cheap and a free use of it pays well in killing any,and all kinds of weeds and bushes, and stock of all kinds will do their work well if a free use is made of it—Henry Baker, in the Indiana Farmer. Care of Farm Machinery. As the rain and snows of winter begin to fall upon the land we see scattered about here and there farm machinery that cost many dollars exposed to the elements. Farming is not, by the majority of people considered a very profitable occupation, yet what other business could stand the drain of such losses as many farmers meet with, avoidable losses, at that. Farm machinery is expensive, but most of it with good care might be made to last for many years. All machinery and conversions should be housed when not in use. Where lumber is scarce and expensive, sheds thatched with straw or corn stalks can be built. All machinery should be put away clean, and it pays to go over the wood work with paint and the metal parts with oil each fall. If the owner's time is too precious it will pay him to hire a man to do this. A man will go over a large amount of machinery in a day with a good brush. One source of waste in machinery is the neglect to replace broken or worn parts when needed. The "stitch in time saves nine," and the bolt or screw replaced at once will often save the crippling of the whole machine. A worn part replaced with new before it breaks often saves injury to the machine, but valuable time is wasted if it breaks when in use. A farmer can bankrupt himself buying farm machinery and then have nothing that he does not need. It is far more profitable to take care of a machine and get the full usefulness of it than let wind, rain and neglect destroy it and be obliged to purchase, and earn money to pay for another.—C. J. W., in the Indiana Farmer. Sheep as Weed Killers. I believe that the cheapest way to rid the pasture of weeds, as well as other parts of the farm where sheep can be allowed to run, is to keep some sheep grazing upon it. I believe it is also the best way to keep down weeds, as the sheep wander over the same land day after day and keep the weeds closely picted down all the time, while if you depend on mowing the weeds, it can only be done occasionally and not very often at best. A good sized bunch of sheep will do more weed killing than a man and do it at a profit to the owner while the man would be quite an item of expense. The greatest obstacle in the way of ordinary farmers keeping sheep, is the expense of keeping fenting that is sufficient. It does not require a great deal of expense to build a sheep fence. If you already have a horse and cow fence, of say, three wires, all that will be necessary fs to add two extra wires and see that all five of them are very tight, but if you have no fence at all where you desire to make your pasture I would-recommend a woven fence. I made an experiment with sheep on an old field three years ago. It was a tract of fifteen acres belonging to one of my neighbors, but joined up to my land on one side. It had been in meadow for several years and the weeds had about taken possession. My neighbor offered to sell the land and I purchased it at a reasonable price, and at once had it fenced, which cost $3. I pastured it the first season with nothing but sheep and kept count of how much gala the sheep made and how much the profits on them amounted to, and the first year I made enough off of the land to pay for the fencing and leave a small per cent. of profit on the investment. Besides that, the land was pretty well cleaned up, which would have cost considerable to have done by man or horse work. There is one point in keeping sheep which most farmers overlook, and that is that some breeds of sheep are better grazers than others, and indeed some individuals of the same flock are better at this. I think a little selection in this line will count for very much in a few years; choose the ends that work over the ground rapidly.—R. B. Rushing, in the Indiana Farmer.

Scratching made it worse. Thousands of small red pimples formed and these caused intense itching. I was advised to go to the hospital for diseases of the skin. I did so, the chief surgeon saying: 'I never saw such a bad case of eczema.' But I got little or no relief. Then I tried many so-called remedies, but I became so bad that I almost gave up in despair. After suffering agonies for twelve months, I was relieved of the almost unequal treatment, two weeks after Culticuin Ointment. continued its use, combined with Culticuin Soap and Pills, and I was completely cured.

I was dizzy, worn and sleepless, my back ached terribly. I had rheumatism and was or weakness that I could do no work, and the pains I suffered would throw me into spasms. I was dizzy, worn and sleepless, my back ached terribly, I had rheumatism and was nervous and all unstrung. I thought I tried every known medicine, but it was not until I began using Doan's Kidney Pills that I began to get help. The pains slowly disappeared, the kidney secretions cleared up and in a few weeks my strength returned so that I could work about the house again. It is three years since then and Doan's Kidney Pills have kept me well." Remember this name—Doan's. Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Forster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

"I would rather preserve the health of a nation than to be its ruler"—Nunawan. This motto, written by Prof. Munyon about sixteen years ago, was the real cornerstone of his medicine business. He felt that the people of the nation were neglecting their health owing to lack of money. He one thought a view of helping humanity, to establish a medicine, toness, paying large sums of money to eminent specialists for known and tried formulas that were known to have been successful in curing diseases. After carefully selecting the patients and putting them up in a marketable condition offered them to the public for a few pennies, easily within the reach of the poorest family. He hired eminent specialists at large salaries and offered their services aboard ships and advised them what remedies to take. After giving the public all these benefits he was still unsatisfied and offered further to those who were not in reach of the offices which he established throughout the country, and advised him to write to his specialists for free medical examination, and to-day Prof. Munyon is still following out this policy, and whenever he hears of a new drug or a new formula that is more effective than those that he is at present, he thinks, he purchases them regardless of cost. Prof. Munyun puts up a separate cure for almost every ill, and these remedies can be and just druggists, mostly 25 cents a bottle. In fact, what might be called a sure thing, for he guarantees them to produce satisfactory results or he will refund our money. This is a remarkable man and a remarkable instance, fairly fair to all, and a firm well recommended. Prof. Munyun's address is 53rd and Jefferson St., Philadelphia, Pa.

Judge Buffington, in Address at Lehigh University, Inspires Students—No College Their Own—Outsiders Have Invested Almost $3000 in Each Student While at School. ```markdown ``` "The Call of the 'World to the College World' was the tople of the noteworthy address delivered by Judge Joseph Buffington, of the United States Circuit Court, at the Founder's Day exercises at Lehigh University, Packer Memorial church of the University was filled with returning alumni, faculty, students, guests and townpeople, to hear what proved to be one of the best addresses ever delivered at Lehigh. Dr. H. S. Drinker, president of Lehigh, introduced the jurist, who spoke in part as follows: Taking into account grounds, buildings, expenses of maintenance and interest on indowment, the average American college has from two to three thousand dollars invested in every student at graduation in excess of what he has paid the college. Now this large sum comes from the outside world. It is freely given, but, gentlemen, it is not given without obligation that there should be a return, not in dollars, but in men. And it is of this obligation of the college to return real men to this great outside world I would speak today, and this I have summed up in the thought, "The Call of the World to the College World." And this insistence of the world that knowledge renders useful results has been the keynote of modern education, and this it was that led the practical mind of such world men as Judge Packer to found here a practical school. He revered education, but he wanted to make it a means, not an end. He sought to breathe the breath of practical, every day life into the lifeless corpse of more abstract erudition. And it is the aspiration of such practical men that has largely given the trend to modern education. Now logically the very fact that there is a world's call to the college shows that it is a call not to self service (for that does not profit the world) but to the world service. To me the whole problem of the college man's relation to the world is centred in stewardship. The possibility of service is the obligation to service; existence is dedication to service and stewardship is due service. For, mark you, the very act of creation stamps the impress of stewardship on the material world. No liquid, or solid, no gas, no air, was created for self-centred use. The purpose of creation is to obtain service. The earth to bear fruit; the ore to yield metal; the fluid and air to give power. And if this be the inexorable, universal fact in material life, suppose you that the creation of man, the boundless possibility of his powers, meant self-centring or stewardship? Inspiration In Hard Work. If you have agreed with the line of my argument it follows that, rightly userd, these college years are the ones wherein your thought habits and your lifechabits are moulded and get their set. I would have you understand that these years are years or tremendous opportunity. Get that well grounded in your mind, the purpose, the real purpose, the opportunity, the privilege of college life, and you have gained half its good. How can you do it? Why, get close to some chap who is making sacrifices to get his education. Drink in his spirit and you will gather what I mean. So couple up close to some man or men who here in Lehigh are working their way through college. There may be more of them among you than you know. For my own part, I feel that more than half the joy and most of the inspiration of my own college course came to me from one who, starting as a newsboy and a bootblack, worked his own way through, and was to me the most potent force to manhood in my college course. Second, take up your college work, live your college life and your after life with joy and not in the spirit of drudgery. I know of no more valuable asset, no more helpful thing to self and others than that cheery spirit of optimism that grapples life and all its hard problems in a cheery spirit, that has good sense as long as one has to handle hot pokers to grip them by the frigid end. Walk on the sunny side of the street. Learn to make friends here in college by thinking a bit more about others; their happiness than your own. Learn to put the kindest construction on what others do and say, even if they are our rivals. If they teach you here at Lehigh, as I think they do, to cut out friction and use lubricants in steel and iron, learn yourself that the cultivation of a cheery, joyous optimism is the best lubricant a man can take into life as a life habit. Now that takes care of the head through purposeful work, and of the heart through gladsome cheer, but it only emphasizes the call to care for the body, for on it both head and heart are absolutely dependent. Time after time we are shocked to find a man whom the college has splendidly fitted in mind and heart for world service, fall in the world-grapple in middle life simply because the college had not given him a body trained to support his brain strain. Gentlemen, we must realize that modern life, modern strain, modern environment, have wholly changed the relative relation of mind and body. We have tremendously increased the pace of nerve consumption, but we have not increased the capacity of the body to counteract it. Health a Prime Necessity. gentlemen, no treatise on medicine schedules office suicide, or indeed mention it, but all the same a great army of the world's keenest and ablest workers are daily making openings in the ranks from office suicide, sedentary suicide, desk suicide, counter suicide, indifferent suicide—all because men, sensible men, and women, too, have failed to realize the importance of their bodies in the world grapple. They have never learned the commonsense fact that health and bodily vitality must be worked for and maintained—mark you that, maintained—with the same earnestness and persistence that is given to business, and that there is a business of health-getting that is as vital as wealth-getting. For what more pitiful and unphilosophical than to see some money-mad getter of wealth and ignorer of health, when he has gotten the wealth, has no health to enjoy it? Did you ever think that three factors are vital in conserving that, body—food, water and air? Did you ever think that their relative importance is in exactly the reverse order in which I have named them? You can live 30 days without food; you can exist 10 days without water, but without air not 10 minutes. As I go through the world I am surprised to find how many big men$^{2}$ the men who are really doing things—men from the President of the United States, and his predecessor, too, have got hold of this thing, that to do things and keep doing things a man must work for health as persistently as he follows his work, and that in the simple, persistent, dally natural care of body and food and air lies the secret of sustained work. It is this same pursuit of a sane life, taught from childhood to their children and persistently, smilingly and unyieldingly pursued by them as men, that has made the Japanese models of intelligent health and strength conservers. ROBINS IN ENGLAND. Experiment With Red Breasts Being Made by Lord Northcliffe. Lord Northcliffe during one of his visits to the United States fell in love with the American robin, which is very different from the English bird of the same.name, and determined to introduce the American bird into England. "Last spring 17 American robins—nine cocks and eight hens—brought from the United States were put in a large out-of-door avlary," one observer reports. "When I went to Gullford early in June I found that a good many eggs had been laid in several thrush and blackbird nests fixed in the avlary and furnished up with dry grass and clay by the breeding birds. But several of the hens laid in the same nest, there was rivalry and fighting, and some of the eggs got broken. Accordingly, the bird keeper took the eggs from the avlary as they were laid, and set them in clutches of three to five in song thrushes' and blackbirds' nests in the gardens. Most of the eggs were put under thrushes, but two lots were put in blackbirds' nests." As a result 24 young were known to have hatched out before the middle of July, when I next went to see the birds. "A few of the young American robins were transferred from thrushes' nests to boxes wired on one side, and the old birds fed them. But two young were found dead one morning, and the keeper believed they had been 'polsoned' by their foster parents through jealousy or waning affection. So the other young then being reared were allowed to go free. The old thrushes were constantly seen feeding the young American robins on the lawns after this. "Now comes the most interesting part of the experiment so far. Save for two or three pairs, the adult American robins were all released from the aviary on the day on which the young were found dead—roughly. I think, about the middle of June. They paired and set-about nest building at once. "A nest was found in the branch of a cedar of Lebanon on the terrace. There were three young in this nest all but ready to fly when I saw it on July 17 and July 18. "So far the experiment has been remarkably successful: The great question, of course, is, will any of the birds, old or young, stay on at Guildford, or will they one and all disappear completely from England? I understand that, though this thrush is a bird of very strong migratory habit, a few do stay throughout the year in North America. If so, is there a chance of some of these birds—they must number upward of 50—staying through the autumn and winter in England? The experiment is not only an interesting one in acclimatization, but in migration as well. If these birds, or any of them, stay in England through the autumn and winter; they will stay at Guildford, I have small doubt. They have been fed there, and the whole place seems well suited to them. So, that, should they stay in England, we shall easily be able to establish the fact; for, if it is easy to see the birds now in the full of the leaf, it will be much easier to see them later when the leaf is off."—London Daily Mail. The Call of the Country. A boy in the parish recently asked to be sent away from his work in London to a farm in the country. When he was pressed for the reason he replied that he longed "to sit on a gate and hear the birds sing."—Soho Parish Notes. THIRTY YEARS OF POLO. From Croquet Mallets and Scrub Ponies to Championship Honors. In the flush of excitement over the American polo victory in England the enthilastic public is likely to forget those who, while the present players were in their cradles, were fighting the battles for the infant polo while as yet it was unable to care for itself. These former players took unto themselves sticks of strange kinds and a ball of wood, large, slow and heavy; ponies little and big did they purchase, and a field also, whereon to play. Conspicuous among these fathers of the game stands H. L. Herbert, according to Bit and Spur, the brains as well as the player of the old school, the man who has done so much toward making the game in this country. In 1877, four or five young men were sitting on the porch of Seside Cottage, Long Branch, on the lookout for something to do, when Mr. Herbert happened to read in a newspaper that a game had been started in Newport which was considered shinny on horseback. The matter was talked over, and wonder expressed as to what the game was like. Finally, Mr. Herbert's eye rested on a croquet set on the lawn, and a messenger was despatched to the nearest store, where a half dozen rake handles were purchased. After removing the short croquet handles these were fastened to the mallets. It happened that a drove of Texas ponies had arrived and were on sale close by—they averaged from 13 to 15.2 hands high, and half a dozen were at once secured. A field recently mowed was found, and putting a flag in each corner, they placed the ball in midfield and charged for it. After many scrimmages and many falls the ball was sent over the end line. This queer performance attracted a great crowd of people who were at the seashore, and the papers the next day reported full fledged and high class polo established at Long Branch as well as Newport. Following the first day's play, Mr. Herbert found some mallets which had been imported for Mr. Bennett, and succeeded in securing half a dozen. After vicissitudes the Brighton Polo club was organized and played two days a week during that season. The only real club then existing was the Westchester Polo club. It divided itself into two teams—one representing the club and the other called the Queens County Hunt Team. The first public match was played at Prospect Park, Brooklyn, 1879, between the two teams named, who were then playing five men on a side. Mr. Herbert was a member of the Westchester team which succeeded in whitewashing its opponents. About that time the game was started in a crude way in Buffalo and in 1880 the Manhattan Polo association was organized, playing on a ground at 110th street, Manhattan, but the game was only played there two or three years owing to the scarcity of players. The Meadow Brook club was organized in 1851, and between that data and 1890, the year in which the Polo association was formed, eight clubs had grown into existence. Mr. Herbert was elected chairman of the association, and has continued to be elected each year for twenty years. The elimination of the offside rule, the system of handicapping and many other changes were made both before and after the organization of the association until now there are seven clubs in full membership and two applicants for election. Every one is familiar with the happenings of the last year or two; they have culminated, however, in the defeat of a nation which has held unconquerable, though disputed sway over the countries of the earth since the birth of the modern game and which has now succumbed to the boys, whose fathers played with croquet balls and mallets with rake handles. Natural Question. Parts of the southern coast of Newfoundland near Cape Race and of the southwestern coast near Cape Ray have an unenviable reputation as the scene of many disasters. While the native of Newfoundland is keen about getting material benefit from wrecks, he is also distinguished for gallantry in saving life and for care of the dead. So says a writer in the Newfoundland Magazine. Near Cape Ray, about 1830, an old man, a young girl and a boy of twelve saved all the crew and passengers of a Canadian packet ship. So common are wrecks that when men engage for fishery it is part of the agreement that the servant shall get his share of the "wrack." Houses in these neighborhoods are all furnished and ornamented from lost ships. When the Rev J. J. Curling first came to the colony he was holding a service in one of these places. An old fisherman kept looking at his fine coat. "That be a fine place of cloth," said the old man, at last, laying his hand on the minister's arm. "Never seed a better bit of cloth in my life. Get 'e out of a wrack, sir?" A. Ear-Sighted Man "Women vote! Never, sir, with my consent" "Why not?" "What! And have my wife losing $30 hats to other women on the election!" Caddy (to motor-bus driver, whose engine has broken down). "Nah then, shove that sardine-tin out of the road. The smell 'ull spoil my 'os' lunch." The Sketch. Among the Masons. The.Grand Master of Manitoba says; "Stately structures of aesthetic decoration of lodge rooms are very good in their way. Social gatherings are by no means to be overlooked, but as Masons the great and blessed principle of charity has a paramount claim upon our sympathies and our finances. It would greatly strengthen lodge life and Masonic prestige if our balance sheets could demonstrate more often than they do that our professions and practices were properly squared. One grand peculiarity about Freemasonry is that it will stand investigation, the more deep the research, the more extensive the knowledge of its hidden art and secret mysteries, th more highly it is appreciated. A man who merely takes his third degree in a listless, careless sort of manner, who remains a mere spectator at lodge meetings and considers the after refreshment as, the best part of the meeting, may think Masonry differs little from other societies. But the man who dives deeply into Masonic literature takes a lively interest in every part of the ceremony, and learns the moral bearing of its symbols, can not possibly fall into such an error. To him Masonry has a refining and elevating influence not ot be found in any other society that ever existed. To bring this influence to bear on every member of the craft should be the great aim of every true Mason. Judging Others. Did you ever stop to think what a blessing it would be to ourselves and everybody around us if we could only use our eyes as great magnifying glasses, capable of bringing to our view the good in everything and everybody. It was said by a great man that everybody was interesting to him, no matter where or under what circumstances he met them, if he approached them in the right way to bring it out. How quick we are to form opinions and judge people before we have really and honestly tried to find the good and interesting side of them. We often say they are hard to get acquainted with. Many times it is our fault. We do not try to see them in the right light—in fact, we have really already judged them, forgetting that every human being bears the stamp of his Maker and that there must be something good about him. Let us try to train our eye so as to see the diving in our fellow man. That will hasten the day of universal brotherhood of man—kitedwood. Revely Too Great Versatility. A story is told of some students in biology who one day perpetrated a joke on their professor in charge. Securing the head of one bug, the body of another, the legs of another, the wings of another, they very cleverly put the parts together and carry it to class one morning laid it on the professor's desk and asked him to tell them what kind of a bug it was. Adjusting his eyeglasses he looked at it for a moment and said, "Gentlemen, this is a humbug." There are a good many Masons who might very well come, under this class. They have a little of the lodge, a little of the chapter, a little of the commandery, a little of the consistory, a little of the shrine, and imagine that they are complete Masonic entities, whereas they are in fact Masonic humbugs. A man to rise to true Masonic dignity must identify himself with some phase of the institution of Masonry and become an integral part of it. No man can expect to advance in Masonry or even shine as an exponent of the fraternity—who tries to be everything in the fraternity and is in fact nothing—Illinois Freemason. Silence in Lodge. During the period when serious business occupies the attention of the brethren, you must not leave your seat or engage in conversation with your neighbor, not even in whispers; neither should you move the chair or bench on which you are seated, or make any other noise to attract the master or his officers in the orderly execution of their respective duties. Silence is the leading characteristic of a well regulated lodge. I have known many good lodges spolled for want of due attention to these tiring particulars.—George Oliver. ST. MARK'S LODGE HEARD FROM. Located in the beautiful city of Dawson, with its scores of Negro business enterprises, in the county of Terrell, with its hundreds of prosperous Negro farmers, with their farms, hogs, hominy, bank accounts and living contentedly at home, we lead them all. We have a membership of 180 financial men. We have made over 60 men in the last 60 days, and we are not ashamed of our new material. We will march them out for anybody's inspection. With such men as J. W. Weston welding the gavel, supported by his mammoth craft of willing workers, we will still keep the lead. "Get the right men and do the right thing," is our motto. When we have filled our stations well on earth, lastly, we will refresh ourselves in that Grand Lodge where our Savior welds the gavel, where no pain nor sorrow disturbs our peaceful breast. Fraternally. WM. MARSHALL, P. M. Some things can be bought for a mere song, and other things you can whistle for. Forced with is as painful a denation as faked pathos.
