C-—With a support ing cast of ‘reformers galore both male and female, Henry Brolaskt, o Monrovia, Cal, who professed to’ be @ gambler upon race tracks, was the star feature of a hearing before the Senate judiciary committee in support of the Burkett bil to probibit the stransmission of race track betting odds over telegraph or telephone . Mines. Mr. Brolaskt gave details of the gambler’s life and showed the poor chance of returns for money invest ed which Is given to the gambling public. He was one of the owners ot & Mexican track which was put out ‘of business at the Instance of tho department of state through co-oper- ation with the Mexican government. He. is now éeeking to have tracks, in whieh he has no interest, dealt With jn Uke manner. ‘Brolaskl said he had worked {n his line in St. Louls, Chicago, Wortti Roby, Atlanta, Charleston, S. C., New Orleans, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Latonia, Louisville and Bennings 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 4m operation nearly 1,300,000 hand- books. He said that in New York elty there were at least 100,000 hana- books and pool room players and that the evil was growing dally. Pointing out the poor chance given the bettor for ‘a return of aay part of his wager, the witness sald that in a pool room the percentage against the player would run from 25 to 130 per cent and in a handbook the per- centage was from § to 15 per cent ‘Common sense will tell you that from 5 per cent up will eat up any man's capital if taken out six times a day,” he declared. “Yhere 1s only one means,” sald Mr. Brolaskl, “of putting this evi. out of business effectually, and that is by the United States government enacting a law prohibiting the trans- mission of pool room and race track information over telegraph or tele- phone wires and prohibiting the use ‘Of the mails to newspapers that pud- Mah care trek ertees or reaults.” SOUTHERN BOY REWARDED. Pe ee ee ee ee ee cultural Proficiency. Washington, D. C. — Diplomas o! merit were presented by Secretary Wilson in his office at the departmen! agriculture to Bascomb Usher o} South Carolina; DeWitt Lundy of Misaissippl; Eliner Halter’ of Arkan sas and Ralph Bellwood of Virginia all under 18 years, for special prot ciency in agricultural pursuits. ‘The recipients are among the 12,500 en. gaged in the boys’ demonstration work In the scuth. Each planted one acre of corn and cultivated it under instructions from the department ot agriculture. Dr. C. G. Knapp, who has chargo of the park demonstration work in the south, offered a trip to Washington to the boy in Missisetppi who should obtain the best results, The State Bankers’ Association of Ar. kansas offered a similar reward in that. state, while citizens of Virginia and South Carolina duplicated the of fers 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 ar- rangements to send the prize winners to Washington next year. In a brief address to the boss, Sec- retary Wilson declared that they and the boys engaged in lke work are “the only .hope we have for the con- tinued greatness and prosperity of the country.” He pointed out that the south now, in agriculture and manufacture, was prosperous as never before, because the men and women of the south had put into the work their own energy and abliity, and, in no sense, were de- pendent upon the .capital or the in- dustry of the people trom other parts of the country. “These diplomas,” he continued,~are unique. No boys ‘ever have recetred @ 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 Shave begun right, LURTON 1S APPOINTED. ‘Tennesseean Nominated for Supreme Court Judge. Washington, D. C—The president nominated Horace H.

BILLS OF INTEREST 10 SOUTH. Clark of Florida Has Introduced Many Measures Affecting This Section. Washington, D. C-—A large number of ‘bills, all of which are of consider able 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: 5 To prohibit the receipt of money in payment of special taxes as deal: ers in intoxicating Ifquors by inter. nal revenue officials of the United States, except in certain cases, and to provide punishment for its viola tion. Mr. Clark would have any per son or firm produce evidence that: the city or town where it 1s proposed to carry on the Mquor 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 monios col- lected under the direct tax levied by act of congress of July J, 1862, and at later dates. = To extend to the veterans of the several Seminole Indian wars and to the widows of yoterans of those wars the benefits of the act of congress passed February 6, 1907.

"These bills have been referred to thelr proper committees, and will probably be: acted upon immediately aftor 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. Tatt's*working day begins at 9:30 a. m, and lasts until 5 p. m. Be- fore he goes to the executive offices he takes bis morning exercise and has a bit of breakfast. As a rule the president takes little time for lunch. eon, F President Roosevelt did ttle work after 4 o'clock fn the afternoon, es- pecially when it was a good day for tennis or a fine drizzly time for wayking through Rock Creek Park. ‘Mr. Taft differs in that he usually does much work after luncheon, fre- quontly returning to the executive of- fices for special conferences with cabinet members or transacting bus- iness in the executive mansion. Mr. Taft has formed a habit of working at the mansion after dinner, On several occasions during the prog- reas of the annual message the pres- idect remained up till very late dic. tating and revising his first big state document. Notwithstanding all the timo he revotes to work, he still takes some exercise. He never migs es the morning calisthenics, and, whenever possible, takes a walk or side, however short ft may be.

ORT BTR GIRLS 10 SAVE BILLION Domestic Science Proves ‘What Farmers’ Daughters Can Do. TEACH COOKING AND SEWING Traed ta the Art of Saig Omana, Neb—Ofe billion dollar: 4s the amount which girls on Amer ican, farnis will be avle to save tht nation every year when they ar trained in domestic sclence and ar as the young men of the farms ari being trained in scientitic agriculture according to Jessica E. Besack of Co lumbia University, director of the do mestic science department of tne .Na tion Corn Exposition. The United States produces yearly practically $7,500,000,000 worth of Piant and animal products. One bil on of this is credited to agrigultura ‘science. Such authorities as Willet! 'M, Hays, assistant sectetary of agn culture, ‘say that science will make the new wealth produced on the farm $10,000,000,000 annualy without in creasing agricultural acreage. s Now come the women of the agri cultural colleges, wko have made the departments of domestic science 2 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 one-half, In the fields and orchards the farmer creates new cereals and trees; in the kitchen the women will create new and nutritious foods with- out the use of eggs, butter and high Priced meats. - As the young men eliminate gullfed hillsides by systematic tree-planting, the young women wil cut out waste by systematic buying to build up their watdrobes one season at atime. 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 Colege had fallen through; why Wellesley found it hara to live up to ihe aa, “The colleges did not reach and do not reach the masses,” they sald.“The young Women will never save one bil- Non if they must tirst¢get a training in the colleges.” The “Short Course” Planned. So the “short course” was planned and these short courses, given in con- ection 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 {naugurated. The American Beef Producers’ 4ss0- ciation 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 asso- ciation offered an illustrated lecture and a demonstration. A little party of college women gath- ered around Miss Jessica Besack and opened at the National Corn Exposi- tion, which was held in Omaha, De- cember 6 to 18, a great laboratory where a thousand girls took a short course In domestic sclence and art. “Every day these girls cooked, sew- ed and shopped. For the best dishes the exposition management offered prizes, A girl won $100 for ten corn muffins; a good price for muttins Here's a meal which the girls pre- pared, It looks good, and four per- sous 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) Garden Peas (20 cents) Cornbread (12 cents) Butter (8 cents) Berry Shortcake (16 cents) ‘The potato salad is the secret of this meal, It is a hot German salad and contains bacon.

PRICE OF COTTON SOARS.” Publication of Crop Report. New York Gity—Not since the Sul ly boom of 1904 has the New York cortoa exchange witnessed a more sensational acene or a more spectac: ular nse in prices than occurred with the announcement of the government crop report. With” the galeries crowded with visitors from the south, augmonted by friends and relatives of operators and other interested spectators, the mat- ket soarod to a new .bigh record tor the season, with gains of more than $2 a bale. Both the May sud the July options touched the bign mark of 15.80, both gaining approximately 42 points. ~ Bull brokers prevented a more vio- lont advance, jas they had distributed heavy sellers” orders every 5 points up from 15.55 for May and July. ‘they sold enormously, supplying the de mani “of shorts ‘and aiso the inrush of buying orders from Wall street, Chicago and southern operators and the local aud New England dry goods interests, ‘The marsets continued 10 ‘an excited state up to the close, with estimates that'500,000 bales had chang- ed hands in the last hour. May cioged at 15.67, and July at 15.74. ‘the news came trom Washington that the government estimate was only 10,088,000 bales, the sinallest trop since’ 1903. Immediately there was a tremendous mush of buying or- ders. Orders poured {n from the world over, and prices jumped from 20 to 30 points im the irst transac- tlons. Last trades made just before the re- port was announced were on the ba- sis of 15.60 for May. ‘The next sales Wero made at 15.70, an advancé of $1 a bale. ‘This was followed oy tre mendous trading both ways and by rapid tuctuations. A break to 15.65 followed, then came the rise to 15.80. July cotton fluctuated along the same ines, while March reached 15.60 a8 its high polnt, and closed at 15.40. ‘rhe government estimate i3 about 200,000 bales ‘below the prédictions of the most sanguine of thee bulls, and the action of the market naturally folowed. Sixteon-cent cotton, so muca talked about, was not realized, but the market camo near It it now remains to be determineu whether the federal estimators havo underestimated the yield, os bas been the case for the past ten years. During that time the crop has been underestimated each year at frou 500,000 to 600,00 Lalss. | “New Orleans, La—Following tho posting of the cotton crop report e- imate of 10,088,000 bales on the cot- con exchange; the future market took a jump which ranged from 25 to 40 polnts. May cotton went to 16 cents, establishing a new high record for he season. ‘The estimate was about 200,000 bales below the predictions of rhe most sanguine bulls, Anticipating a bullish estimate, the rade started the market toward bigh- er levels several years ago, and the May option sold at 15.54, four points above the previous high price. Yet it was even then far below the level which had been accorded it, when it proke all recorss for the season by going to 16 cents. A majority of tao mperators had been trading on the be- Jef that the estimate would be be- ween 10,800,000 and 10,600,000 bales When an estimate of 10,088,000 was put out, a small panic ensued, and he market went up with a jump.

Atlanta, Ga—Few people realiz tho tremendous natural wealth 0 Georgia, and the state geologica board, under the direction of Profes sor McCallie is working hard all the Time to get data of this kind in suct shape that the outside world will see the state’s great, wealth and develor it preperly. * = A meeting of, the state geological Loard was held in Governor Brown's oliice and Professor McCallie read : amost interesting report on the worl: of his department for the past sever al meaths. He showed that the great ron deposits of Georgla are beiug developed mere cnd more every year. “He estimates the water power ol t8e state, if fully deyeloped, to be worth tully $20 600,000 a year wo the state, He also gave much attention to the limestone deposits of North Georgia. Bartow, Polk and Floyd are ecpecially rich in limestone. ‘tat ix Bartow is more suttable for making commercial lime, while that ot Pulx and Floyd 1s better for cement Volt hag,a cement plant and a loge shale Lrick plant at Rockmart.

Dr. T. Poole Maynard, assistant State geologist, durimg the quarter, ‘completed flcid investigations of the Hmestones and shales in Bartow county as far north as Kingston, In this county he reports the occurrcnce ot excelent exposures of limestone of the Knox dolomite series, suitable for making lime and natural cement He also completed field investigations Jn Polk county, whgre he found lmne stone in many pfaces suitable for fusing, and suttable shales, for the manufacture of fine brick. Mela ‘work was likewise, completed in Floyd county, where many limestones were found Sultable for plasters and general agricultural purposes. ~ Porfessor MeUallie spoke very en thustastieally of the artestar Water sepply of south Georgia. “Unfortunately, it sems to be an altogether too common opinion auong persgus living in the north and west that gouth Georgia Is generally un- healthy, due, mainly, to its bad wa ters. To demonstrate tat sucn a condition ef affairs does not exist, but just the opposite conditions obtain, js the points the department wishes to bring out in its publications on the water supply system of south Goorgla. Mr. McCallie says: “af J were called on to select from o sanitary stamipoint, the best drinking waters of the. state, I would unhesitatingly select the artesian welt waters of south Georgia. ‘I'hat sec- tion can hardly realize what a great blessing they have in an inexhaustible aud uncontamibnable water supply.’~ ee, ; WAR ON BLIND.

B.C. of Georgia, Route No, 3, Box No. 47, \ Hawkinsville, Ga, October ist, 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 hive deemed it expedient to address this circular Ietter 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 get- ting certificates there will be reduc- ed rate return tickets on sale Nov- ember 7, 8 and 9, from all points in Georgia to Atlanta, Rates of 3 cents ‘Per mile plus 25c, with final limits to yeturn November 16th, 1909.

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. "Look here, John Henry, you needn't give yourself alrs because you have a right to vote. I've a good mind to keep you in the house all day next time they're an election." —From Brooklyn Life Handy Fro Apparatus. 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?" Miss Kentuck—"He sure is, auntie, if he'll stand for that sort of treatment." 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.

Bazuapar, Decaxere 18, 1909 Tue awful tragedy that oceurred on Friday of last week is regret- ted by Tue Tarun 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 Cammanktsn. ‘The recent tragedy in this city was the worst ever happened here. ‘It was sufficient to arouse the pas- sion of every peaceful citizen. It was first announced that the ‘ac- cused was a colored man. In many other places other than Sa- vannah there would have been muceh trouble for the colored peo- ple, but not here. We have a more conservative and law loving elass of white citizens and they be- lieve 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 ot the city’s best interest and_said nething to stir up feeling. Espe- cially is the afternoon paper to be commended for its concilatory editorial. The morning paper did its part along this line. An in- terviewer in The Press said con- cerning the misleading accounts of the eut of town papers: “The principal imposition in this eonnection 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 th Associated Press will this after- noon be called upon for an expla- nation. “Parts of this dispatch were sent back to Savannah papers the next day in the regular press ser- vice. It was too lurid to be print- ed. 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 correspon- dent evidently gave free rein to his faney, and President Parker of the retail Merchants’ Association, probably thinks that something should be done to let the newspa- pers publishing the offending stories know how the people here foel about them. “The New York Herald which had a special from Savannah, sent presumably by its regulur corres- pondent 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 oae would think there was to be a reg- ular butchery of whites and blacks if something was not done to paci- fy the conflicting races. It was a good story to sell, but was far rom being truthful. “The New York Sun slso con- tained a somewhat lurid account. ‘This telegram was not sent by the aceredited representative of thc Sun in Savannah. Iam reliably informed but went from outside ‘sources. It was probably written by some one who valued the few dollars it would bring more than ke did the reputation of his city. “The regular correspondent of the Sun, Iam advised, sent in a very short and conservative story of the erime. ‘Tho regular correspon- dent of the Atlanta Journal was careful not to send anything sen- sational, although the dispatch from Savannah to the Journal tell- ing of the murder carried a ‘spé- cial’ line, the news printed was from the night report of the Asso- ciated Press.

Thus St. Mary’s Society is the strongest society in the St. Bene- dict’s Church; it has about 50 members. Its object is most com- mendable, as it is both beneficial and charitable. ‘The officers of the coming year were clected. 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.

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 chris- tian heart all over the world. Man is full of hope and begins to feel a new life in his mortal body, for the thought ef the coming Saviour gives him a new claim and fills his soul with gladness and joy. Profiting by the eccasion, the priests of the reeently established mission of St. Anthony of Padua, shall’ have, for the first time, sol- emn service in their new little chapel on Christmas morning at 9:30 o'clock. Immediately after mass, at 10:15, the Christmas ex- ercises given by our pupils will take place in our pretty class rooms, which will be nicely decor- ated. 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 be- sides, 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 open- ing 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 pro- gress in the yarious branches they are taught in, is simply marvel. lous; all praise to our unwearying teachers Miss B. White and Mis: J. Miller. We desire to extend our mos! hearty invitation, for the solemr occasion, to all our friends, to the parents of our school children and their families, wishing them all the blessings “of the season and 1 “Merry, Merry Christmas.” Heneeforth, the priests of St. Anthony’s will hold divine service: Mass and sermon every Sunday at 10-2. m., and the ‘Sun day school will take place at 3 p. m., followed by the benediction o! dhe Rincssed Samcaricnt ¥F. A. B. Chureh, Ina manner the pastor Rev. W. L. Jones was physically unable to preach on last Sunday, but through perseverance, which is the charac- teristicof him, he preached a fine ‘sermon from the Lamentations of Jeremiah 4°1 at the 11 o'clock ser- vice. The regular order of service was laid aside at 8:30 p. m., for a “Musical Program” which was rare, sacred and superb in rendi- tion. The choir sang a beautiful anthem for the opening svhich was followed by a very touching pray- er 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 thé teachers, were present. Mr. J. H. Hopkins in a very graceful manner deliver- ed a recitation “The Drunkards fate” which wellielicted the pathos of his hearers, ~The choir pealed forth inyharmony the beautiful an- them “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, etal, filled thé auditorium with such sweet chords’of music in a quar- tette, that their reappearance was always spplanded. Mrs. Julia Ward and Mrs, Susan Crawford did well in a duet entitled ‘*Come ‘Holy Spirit.” Mr. J. H. ©. Jen- kins rendered a bass solo which was loudly applauded for its melo- dy. Miss Mamye L, Jones read a fine paper, subject “The Lost Chord” which conveyed a deal of biblical facts. Mr. E. W. Sher- man read 2 paper on ‘‘Mfusic,” it was a masterpiece in eloquence and the complete defination of music, He held the audienco spell bound as he layished his thoughts on the effects that music had on 'God, man and too, on the battle- fields. Miss May Stewart: render- eda very sweet solo which won for her many laurels, Mrs. Jen; nie Blake sang a beautiful solo which was applauded. Mr. J E. Johnson barytone solo wasn gem. Mr. J. A. Snyder fill:d well his part as master of cerem- nies Such program a asrendered on this occasion is not only n rare treat toour people, but a reniza- tion of what our ‘people can ac- complish in the musical and litera- ry areua. We enjoy just such ev- idence of accomplishments and do greatly thank the participants on the program for having made it possible for usto present such a splendid program. Our fair ended on Friday night last ‘with a great success; considering the very changeable weather during its season. ‘Erother Chas, Johnson of 550 Charles street have our sympathy in tho illness of his wife Monday night will be our last _con- ference in the old year. Each member is asked to contribute~25 cents on tomorrow, Sunday for a special purpose. St Phillip Dots. 4he members end friends of ot. Philip attended each service in large numbers on last Sunday. Rev. R. H. Singleton, the new. pastor, preached his introductory sermon beginning tho 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 aad you shall hold your peate.” The speak- er compared the beginning of his administration with Moses and the children of Isreal; the soldier that rushes into battlé is not the soldier that is always successful, but it is tho one thatstandsstill and wait on the Lord. Asa whole it wasasplen- did discourse and every member should take the subject to him or herself and say I an? determined to go forward and do my part in the upbuilding of God’s temple. Rey. Lindsay and family left for Augusta this week where he will begin his year’s work. Mrs. Ma- linda Maxwell, one of St. Philip’s oldest members was buried from that church on last Sunday at J o'clock.

Reports of the extent of the white slave traffic in connectfon with Imml- gration have been prepared by the Ymmigration Commission for submis. ‘sion to Congress, which will startle the country. If the story of condi- tions as they are found to exist by the special agents of the commission do not stir Congress to action the members of the commission will be greatly disappointed in the elfect of the results of their investigations. At a special meeting of the com- mission the report was lad before the full memberahip for approval and practically completed. It will be lafd before Congress very soon, probably defore January 1.

Gare of Baem. Machines. As the rain and snows of winter begin to fall upon the land we seo seattered about here-and there farm machinery that cost many dollars ex- posed to the elements, Farming is not, by thé majority’ of people cou- sidered 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 expen- aive, but most of it with good care might be made to last for many years. All machinery and convey- ances should be housed when not in use, Where Iumber {s scarce and ex- pensive, sheds thatched with straw or corn stalks can be built. All ma- ehinery should be put away clean, and 1t pays to go over the wcod 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 aman todo this. A man will go over a large amount of machinery im a day with a good brush. One sourcesot waste In machinery fs 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 cFppling of the whole m2chine. A worn part replaced with new before it breaks often saves injury to thé machine, but valuable ime is wasted it it breaks waen in use. A farmer can bankrupt himself buying farm ma- chincry and then have notlifng 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 parchase, and carn ‘money tq pay for another.—C. J. W., in the Indiane 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, $s to keep some sheep grazing upon it. I be- Heve it is also the best way to keep down weeds, as the sheep wander over the same land day efter day and keep the weeds closely picked dawn all the time, while if you depend cn 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 shcep, is the expense of keeping ferfting that Js sufficient. It does not require a great deal of expense to bufld 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 ilo fence at all where you desire to make your pasture I would-recommend a ‘woven fonce. ‘ 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 jojhed up to my Jand-on one side, IE hie been in meadow fo? several yéars and the weeds hai 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 $53. I pastured it the first season with nothing but shccp 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 tho land to pay for the fencing-and leave a small per cent. of profit on the in- vestment. Besides that, the land was pretty well cleaned up, which ‘would have cost constderable to have done by man or horse work. ‘Thero {s one point in keeping sheep which most farmers overlobk, and that Is that some breeds of sheep are better grazers than others, and in- deed some individuals of the game flock aro better at this, I think a Witle selection in this Mne wil! count for very much in a few years; choose the ends that work over'the gzcund tapidly—R.

Gara Aiea (AtS51'09) --- World in Waiting for Finished Men. . 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.
