VOL. XXV. Leroy Percy Elected to the Senate by the Legislature. LONG DEADLOCK BROKEN End Came on 58th Ballot, After all Candidates Save Percy and Vardaman, Had Withdrawn. Great Bitterness Marked Fight. Jackson, Miss.-Leroy Percy of Greenville, lawyer and planter, was chosen United States senator from Mississippi to succeed the late Senator A. J. McLaurin and to serve during the three years of his unexpired term by a majority in joint legislative caucus of five votes over former Governor James K. Vardaman. The result came on the fifty-eighth ballot and was brought about through a process of elimination, terminating a deadlock which has prevailed during seven weeks. Governor Noel had announced that should no selection be made during the present legislative session, he would appoint General James Gordon, the present temporary appointee, to serve during the unexpired term. Withdrawals of the several candidates having the lesser votes came fast, Congressman Adam Byrd, John Kyle and H. H. Street following in turn, and the fight narrowed down to the two leading contestant. The votes controlled by those candidates who withdrew went almost solidly to Percy, giving him 87 votes to 82 for Vardaman on the first ballot. In several respects the fight in caucus has been one of the most remarkable political contests ever held in the south. From the start, partisan feeling has been intense and the contest early resolved itself into a factional struggle between the adherents and opponents of the former governor. Throughout Vardaman has maintained his original vote, at times gaining enough to bring him within a few votes of the goal. However, the majority was always distributed among the other several candidates. Mr. Percy retained second place also throughout the contest. In anticipation of a selection, Representative Hall was crowded long before the time set for the convening of the caucus. When announcement was made of the result pandemonium broke, a pent-up enthusiasm of weeks was given vent and it was with difficulty that brief addresses by the victor and vanquished could be heard above the cheering. Mr. Percy promised a faithful service, while Mr. Vardaman formally served notice that he would be a candidate for the office at the election of two years hence. Leroy Percy was born in Washington county, Mississippi, November 9, 1861, and is the son of the late Col. William Percy, formerly of Alabama. He graduated from the University of the South at Swearne, Tenn., and is also a graduate of law of the University of Virginia. His post-graduate course was at Princeton University. After his collegiate course Mr. Percy returned to Greenville and engaged in the practice of law in connection with the management of extensive land interests and since early manhood has taken an active part in the political and other affairs of the state, although he has never heretofore held public office.

TILLMAN WILL RECOVER Physician Says the South Carolinian Has Passed Danger Point. Washington, D. C.-There was rejoicing among the friends of Senator Benjamin R. Tillman when the attending physician announced that his patient was practically out of danger. The recovery of the senator has been almost miraculous in the opinion of medical men, and he continues steadily to improve. Dr. E. F. Pickford gave out the following bulletin: "The condition of Senator Tillman is all that could be desired. The paralysis and asphasia are rapidly improving. The patient is practically out of danger." Columbia, S. G.—"Senator Tillman has every prospect in the world of complete recovery, but we agreed he should not resume work this session," said Dr. J. W. Babcock, who returned from attendance upon Senator Tillman in Washington. "That he can recover is the reward of a temperate life. None of his organs seem to be affected, his memory and mental vigor generally are unimpaired, and he is in good spirits." WOLGAST WHIPS NELSON. Michigan Boy Beat Fighting Dane In Forty. Rounds.

Nelson, game to the last, stood in the center of the ring, and even though he could hardly raise his hands begged to be allowed to continue. He was led to his corner heartbroken. In the opposite corner of the ring, the new, lightweigat champion of the world, Ad Wolgast, of Cadillac, Mich., was lifted to the shoulders of his trainers among the cheers of the big crowd. TO ENCOURAGE TEMPERANCE Boston Man Gives Free College Course for Total Abstainers. Boston, Mass.—Any Christian young man in Idaho or North Dakota may now obtain a college education free by agreeing never so long as he lives to touch intoxicating liquor, tobacco in any form or "other narcotics." This premium on abstemious living is provided by the will of Charles Botsford, a Boston merchant, which was filed for probate. Mr. Botsford left more than $100,000 and after making several minor bequests, the will orders that the residue of the estate shall be to educate the youth of Idaho and North Dakota, who will sign the pledge stipulated. "The North Dakotans will be educated at Fargo college, and the Idaho youth will have their courses paid for at the Idaho Industrial Institute." BOY BANDITS CAUGHT.

Washington, D. C.—Moses Haas of New York, indicted in the District of Columbia in connection with "the cotton leak scandal" of the department of agriculture in 1905, must come to Washington for trial. Bush uses the decision of the supreme court of the United States. Later the supreme court announced that it had decided that Theodore H. Price and Frederick Peckham must also come to Washington for trial. The cases against Haas, Price and Peckham grew out of their illegally obtaining information about the government cotton reports. THE TRIBUNE. OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SOUTHERN IRRIGATION WATER SOURCES TO BE USED In Speech Before House of Representatives Alabama Representative Pointed Out Fine Results Obtained By Irrigation. Washington, D. C. — Irrigation in the humid regions was the text of a recent speech by Representative Craig of Alabama. He proposed that the south should fortify itself against the boll weevil. The boll weevil, he said, was a certainty and would be in Alabama in two years. It was worse than useless to expect that there would be discovered within that time a destructive agent that would prevent the advent of the scourge, and all statistics gathered showed that the boll weevils left only 10 per cent of the cotton. That meant disaster to town and country alike. With irrigation, he argued, farmers could insure ten acres of crops for every artesian well they had. Irrigation in the humid regions, Mr. Craig said, had been tried sufficiently to be shown a most beneficial thing. The few experiments that the agricultural department had been able to make with its meager appropriation for irrigation work had demonstrated that the utilization of the wells and other water sources on southern farms could wondrously magnify their productions. He cited the demonstration work being done by the irrigation engineers near Selma, Ala., and said that the same results could be had at most anywhere in the south, and no offered examples from many of the eastern states. Last year the agricultural department spent in the humid regions $300 of the total irrigation appropriation of $75,000. This year effort is made to cut down the total to $70,000. Mr. Craig is endeavoring to increase it to $95,000. NO FARM PRODUCT MONOPOLY Farmer of Today is Manufacturer of Commodities. Milwaukee, Wis.—"As a matter of fact, Americans are bad losers. Some of us try to pretend we do not mind when we lose, but we do just the same," said President Underwood, of the Erie Railroad, in giving his views as to the cause of high prices. "The unspecialized men are having a hard time just now. All they can do is talk when they are hit by natural conditions which bring high prices, as is the case now. "There is no monopoly in farm products. That is simply stuff. It is the non-specialist who has to bear the brunt. He has to take what is left after the specialist is through. His only weapon is his tongue. He either talks or writes about it, but he offers no remedy. In fact, there are only two things which he can do to better his condition—back to the land and be a producer himself, or bear the ill he has. The farmer of today is a manufacturer of commodities." Kaiser Receives Fairbanks. Berlin, German—The emperor received ex-Vice President Falkbanks, who was presented by Ambassador talked with him for nearly an hour. New Bantamweight Champion Los Angeles, Cal.-Frankle Conley, of Kenosha, Wis., knocked out Monte Attell of San Francisco, in the forty-second round. The fight was scheduled for forty-five rounds, and was for the bantamweight championship. Cairo is Quiet.

G.—The state of Minnesota won a victory over the Great Northern and the Chicago Great Western Railway Companies, when the supreme court of the United States held that both railroads were liable to a 4 per cent gross earnings tax. Moving Pictures for Insane. Lincoln, Neb.—The state board of public lands and buildings will buy a moving picture machine for the amusement of the insane patients at the Norfolk asylum. Superintendent J. P. Percival says that these pictures appear to sooth patients and that they can watch them without the exciting effects incident to other forms of amusement. St. Louis, Mo.—An interesting variety of opinions have found their way into the press in regard to the nature and possible influences of Halley's comet, which is due to approach nearest to the earth on May 16, and on which the eyes of the whole scientific world are now centered. Professor Edwin B. Frost of the Yerkes Observatory in Wisconsin says: "Halley's comet is about 1,000,000 times as large as the earth, but although the earth's gravity may change the orbit of the comet, the earth's path through the sky will be unaffected by the approaching proximity of the two bodies." He points out that the comet is gaseous and its mass comparatively slight and that, therefore, its attraction will not affect the planets while the solid heavy planets are likely to affect the comet a great deal. Professor Edwin Booth of the department of chemistry at the University of California says that if the astronomers are right in their estimation of the amount of cyanogen gas in the tail of the comet, we may have a chance to feel the sensation of the bugs and insects that are being killed by this same gas. He says we will be all anuffed out if enough of this gas unites with the oxygen of the earth's atmosphere. The Astronomical and Astrophysical Society of America is equipping an expedition, under Frederic Tilerman of the Pasadena Observatory, which will take observations of the comet from the Hawaiian Islands. UNDERTAKER IN TROUBLE. For Crowding Bodies in Coffin Carolina Undertaker is Fined. Columbia, S. G.-E. F. Collicut, a local undertaker, was fined in the police court here on the charge of burying more than one body in one coffin. He was fined $20. He was also charged with burying people in the potter's field in coffins, without clothes. An investigation of the potter's field here develops the fact that it is very crowded, and that many bodies have been buried in the same grave. It is the custom to bury a body, and when it has been in the ground for several years, to throw out the bones and put another in. Many bones are to be found scattered about potter's field. There will very probably be an investigation. COUNTERFEITERS SENTENCED Black Hand Chief and 7 Followers Sent to Atlanta. New York City—Lupo, "the wolf," so-called chief of the black hand in America; Guiseppe Morello, chief of Sicilian countertellers in this country, and six of their confederates were found guilty of making spurious money and were sentenced to terms varying from fifteen years and $1,000 fine, to thirty years and $1,000 fine, the terms to be spent at hard labor in the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga.

Realizing he was about to die and that his two cats, his constant companions, and only solace, might starve, George Snyder, ninety-eight years old, of St. Louis, crawled more than a mile to be a neighbor to care for them. He expired muttering plaintively: "Feed my cats." Mayor F. A. Busse of Chicago has appointed a committee of nineteen men to lay plans for the first national convention of city officials and engineers for the purpose of standardizing paving specifications. The convention is to be held in Chicago February 24 to 26. Probably forty cities will be represented at the gathering. The Mexican political refugee, Inez Ruliz, after being held for eighty days in Jail at San Antonia, Tex., was freed for the second time by Commissioner Scott, who said Mexico had admitted Ruiz to be a political prisoner. Autographs, letters and other documents in the handwritings of John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Elbridge Gerry and others of revolutionary fame have just been disposed of in Boston at a sale of effects from the estate of the Rev. Joseph Willard, who was president of Harvard shortly after the revolution. -An autograph letter written by Benedict Arnold to Major General Gates, in the course of one of the campaigns of the revolution, brought $131. EDUCATION IN SOUTH SOLUTION OF RACE PROBLEM President Taft Says Dixie's Prosperity Will Solve Problems Which South Must Face. Thomas Nelson Page Presides. Washington, D. C.-In the prosperity of the south lies the solution of the race problem, in the opinion of President Taft, who participated in a conference of educators and philanthropically disposed men and women of Washington on education in the south, at the residence of Miss Mabel T. Boardman. "There are two things working toward the solution of the negro problem," said the president. "One is the development of interest among the better class of southerners in the education of the negro, and a consciousness of the fact that nothing will so much help the south as such education. The other important feature is the increase of the wealth of the south. "The south, until the last decade, had a dreadfully hard time to support the government of her states without education, but now the south is getting richer. I am delighted to have 15 cent cotton, whether it be high or not, because it means the prosperity of the south, the development of her educational system, and the working out of the most difficult problem ever presented to a people." Thomas Nelson Page presided at conference. Among the other speakers were James H. Dillard of New Orleans president of the Jeanes fund; W. W. Finley, president of the Southern Railway, and Dr. H. B. Frissell, president of Hampton Institute. James H. Dillard, in his address, declared that the white people must blame themselves for conditions prevailing in the south, and described a natural segregation of the races that is developing with the development of industrial education. Industrial education he urged for the benefet of the negro and the poor white people as well. "The first thing we can do," he said, "for the negroes good is to refrain from ill feeling and to be willing that the race should be hopeful of progress and improvement. In other words we should have the attitude of good will, and not the attitude of ill will. "The second thing we can do is to assist in the education of the negro; and by education, I mean a real education, an education for living, an education that leads to the knowledge of how to do things better and how to live better." MISSING HETRESS FOUND. $235,000 Left to Mrs. Claudie Vester of Nashville. Birmingham, Aia. A remarkable romance was unearthed here by the location of Mrs. Claudie Vester, who lives at 1905 Eighteenth avenue, north, Nashville, Teen., who proves to be the heir to an estate of about $235,000. The estate was left by E. D. Ennis, who formerly lived in Birmingham, and was the sweetheart of Miss Claudie Clark at that time. Miss Clark married a man named Vester about eight years ago, having removed from Birmingham to Nashville. Ennis became engaged to Miss Clark in 1891 in Birmingham, and the next year Ennis was forced to shoot a man there and fled from the city. He went to Darlen and Jamaica, where he amassed a fortune, and about three years ago he was fatally injured in a fight with a Spaniard. Before his death he willed his entire estate to Miss Clark and the Jamaica authorities have been all this time trying to find her. The estate left by Ennis comprises cash in the Colonial Bank of Kingston amounting to over $100,000. CHOPPED OFF HIS HAND. Mississippi Man Said "This Hand Shall Sin No More." McComb, Miss.—Walking into a local planning mill a man who later gave his name and address as John Richards, Jr., Waapetan, N. D., brooried a hatchet, and proceeded to chop off his right hand. The hand was completely severed at the wrist, when the mill employees interfered. "It shall sin no more," he said, after he had completed the job. He was sent to New Orleans for medical treatment. Local physicians declare that he is demented. He gave his occupation as a "tourist printer." GEORGIA LOSES TAX CASE. Georgia Railroad Wins Long Fought Case Against State. Washington, D. C. — The Georgia Railroad and Banking Company won a partial victory over the state of Georgia, when the supreme court of the United States affirmed the main points of the opinion of the lower federal court, holding that the railroad was required to pay only a state tax of one-half of one per cent of the net earnings of its property, and not property or franchise taxes. The opinion was the first Justice Lurton has rendered from the supreme court bench. The decree as to the Washington branch was modified and the state won its contention. ```markdown ``` NO.23. LATE NEWS NOTES. The heaviest ice crop of the last thirty years is being harvested in Chicago, and by the time the season is closed, a week or ten days hence, 2,500,000 tons will have been stored in the ice houses that supply Chicago. There will be no decline in price, however, to the small consumer. Governor Shaaforth and Chief Justice Steele of Colorado have issued a signed statement to contradict the assertion made by Rev. Dr. Underhill of Denver before the City club of New York. Roverend Underhill said that he indorsed from observation an article by an unnamed woman aiming to show that suffrage had demoralized the women of Colorado and "that ten thousand women of the underworld controlled the elections in the city of Denver." The governor and the judge say these statements are untrue, and that the women of Colorado are the equal of any in refinement, education and feminine graces, none of which qualities have been damaged by their fifteen years of participation in public affairs, while the government has immeasurably improved by such participation. They say also that out of the thirty thousand women who voted in Denver last fall not more than four hundred were in any wise connected with the underworld. Owing to a disagreement about the conditions imposed by William C. Proctor of Cincinnati on his offer of $500,000 for a graduate school at Princeton, that gift has now been lost, and with it nearly as much more which had been raised for a similar purpose. President Wilson had insisted upon maintaining the right of the university to carry on the grade work in any way that might seem best to himself and the trustees, and in this attitude the board sustained him. "We are not getting hold of the college men," said Professor Shaler Mathews of the University of Chicago, in an address before the Chicago Methodist preachers' meeting in the First Methodist Church, in too many cases the college man has an idea that his education has raised him above the conceptions of the religious mind. "I don't believe the natural man likes Jesus Christ." I don't believe he goes to Christ naturally, but rather to Pilate. Let us not only send missionaries to China, but also to the modern man." Washington. A delegation of Crow Indians same here to see President Taft. One of the braves had a war shirt made by, a squaw on the Montana reservation which he intended to present to the president. He failed to make the presentation when he found that the shirt was entirely too small for President Taft. President Taft conferred with Senators Beveridge, Borah and Carter at the white house and told them to expedite the administration legislative program. The president wants Senator Beveridge to get the Arizona-New Mexico statehood bill through the senate, and Senator Carter to push along the postal savings bank proposition. In a message to congress the president asked that provision be made, for recompensing those employees of the government working on the Panama canal. A story going the rounds in Washington that anti-administration republicans have dispatched Gilson Gardner, a well known newspaper writer, to meet Colonel Roosevelt when he comes out of the African jungle and lay before him the entire political situation as it has developed during his absence. Mr. Gardner is very close to the former president. He left Washington quietly about two weeks ago, and it was learned that he had gone to Egypt, and would meet the former president in Cairo when he comes down the Nile. Senator Tillman's "pitchfork" eloquence in condemnation of former President Roosevelt's appointment of a negro solicitor of customs at Charleston, S. C., which has lain in the senate closest for executive secrets for more than two years, will be given to the public. The senate ordered the injunction of the secrecy removed from all of its records in the case of Dr. William Crum. Former President Zelaya intends to publish a book defending his administration in Nicaragua, criticizing Secretary Knor and the state department and charging that intrigues set afoot and maintained through Central America and in Washington by a large mining company were the cause of his downfall. Just before sailing for Europe from Vera Cruz, Zelaya confiding to a friend, according to private advices which have found their way to Washington charged the Butters-Carthwaite mining interests of Salvador with being responsible for his reverses. Seventeen out of eighteen pension agencies scattered throughout various portions of the country are abolished under the terms of the pension appropriation bill reported to the house, where in no appropriation is recommended for the offices. The one remaining office is located in Washington and the usual appropriation for its maintenance is made. The pension bill carries $155,174,000, which is a decrease of $5,000,000 from last year. The seventeen agencies thus cut off are located in Augusta, Me.; Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Columbus, O.; Concord, N.

CORN CLUBS ORGANIZED Georgia Boys Who Win Prizes to be Honored by Governor Brown. CERTIFICATES OF HONOR Valuable Prices Also Offered to School Boys Who Produce Best Yield per Acre, Ears and Stalks. Atlanta, Ga.—To encourage farm life improvement clubs among the school boys of the state of Georgia, Governor Joseph M. Brown, Commissioner Jere M. Pound of the state school board, and Commissioner Hudson of the state department of agriculture, will issue certificates of honor to school boys who do proficient work in growing corn during the year. The score cards and regulations governing the awarding of these certificates will be mailed out from the State College of Agriculture to the boys, of the state who are members of the corn club. Every boy selects his demonstration acre, gives it thorough preparation and cultivates it in accordance with the most practical method of farming. This work never fails to appeal to those who visit the exhibits of the boys' products. Some 12,000 boys have done this work in the south during the past year, and it is expected that more than 30,000 will take it up during 1910. Every encouragement will be given these clubs. Some counties have raised as much as $500 for distribution. Leading farmers are offering as prizes thoroughbred colts, pigs and chickens. Some counties are taking up girls' club work in connection with the boys', and offering prizes for poultry, cooking, needlework and flower culture. The awards for corn culture in most counties will be about as follows: $25 in gold for the best work and results in the growing of corn, the largest yield per acre, the best written report, the best showing of profit and the best exhibit of ten ears and five stalks will be considered by the judges; $15 for the second best; $10 for the third best; $5 for the fourth best; $10 for the best ten ears, regardless of the report or yield; $5 in merchandise for the second vest; $5 for the best individual ear; and $3 for the second best. PEACH CROP SAFE. Recent Cold Weather Has Done No Harm, Say the Growers. Atlanta, Ga. The recent cold snap has not hurt the coming fruit crop, is the statement made by the Georgia Fruit Exchange, with headquarters in Atlanta, following the reception of reports from all sections of the state where the membership of this splendid body is located. This means that the famous Georgia peach crop is. as yet, uninjured, and the outlook is bright for crop of 5,000 cars to be marketed through this exchange during the coming season. The continued cold which has been felt throughout the state since early in December has retarded any premature sap rising or budding, and has held back from blooming the peach trees of Georgia. As a result, these cold snaps which have been coming in rapid succession have passed the fruit trees over unharmed. At the Georgia Fruit Exchange, where the condition of the trees is watched as intently as the florist cares for his hothouse flowers; it is stated that a temperature of 8 degrees above zero would be required now to serfiously harm the growing fruit. From the reports received it is very evident that over 90 per cent of the fruit crop is to be marketed through the exchange this year. So successful has been the operation of the exchanges in regard to the handling of the peach crop, that the apple growers of north Georgia are joining the exchange rapidly to have the Georgia apples handled in the same way. Chief Clerk L. J. Rowell has signed up a number in North Georgia, and will continue the work this week. EDUCATION IN GEORGIA. Estimated That State 'Will Spend $4,250,000 This Year. Atlanta, Ga.—About $4,250,000 annually for education in Georgia. According to the reports being compiled in the office of State School Commissioner Jere M. Pound, from information sent in by the commissioners of the 146 counties in this state, it is estimated that fully $2,000,000 will be credited to education over and above the annual appropriation of $2,250,000. These reports from the county school commissioners show money devoted to educational purposes that has never before been recorded or credited to the state. This money comes from incidental fees, tuition, bequests, local taxation, municipal aid and from various other sources. One county, Forsyth, for instance, shows an increase of $4,000 over and above the state's appropriation. This is one of the smaller counties in the state, the amounts reported from the larger counties being correspondingly larger in proportion. When the reports have been compiled it is estimated that the state will find at least $2,000,000 annually is being spent for educational purposes for which this state has never received credit. Jews Coming to Georgia. Macon, Ga—Announcement was made that Rabbi A. I. Levy, pastor of a large congregation of Chicago, had closed a purchase for 35,000 acres of farm lands in Pierce county, Georgia, to be used in the Jewish agricultural movement which was inaugurated in 1880. The purpose of this plan is to gather Jews who are dissatisfied with conditions in the larger cities and to furnish a wholesome agricultural life for those who care to take up such. $ ^{a} $ PROMINENT PEOPLE.

Mary Gilbert has retold in the March issue for the young folks of all ages who read St. Nicholas that charming tale from Russian folklore, "The Humpbacked Horse," one of the dear, satisfactory, "once, upon a time" kind of stories. Day Allen Willey's, story of "Winter Sports in the Alps" in the March St. Nicholas, is a jolly article, most attractively illustrated, which seems to give a new importance to skeeing, and coasting and other play in the snow. The many other good things of the March number include even more than St. Nicholas' usual allowance of merry pictures and rhymes, a boy's story of helpful spirit in "The Junior Captain," and a charming tale of a little brown bear, "Pietro," and his devoted master.

This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has complied 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. Liberal Terms and Commission. STATE BAPTIST CALC. 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.

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, You're for success, J. A. KIRKLAND, Rec. Sec. M. B. C. of Georgia.

The steamed Devonian, from Liverpool, was dismantled by lightning in Massachusetts Bay. President Taft conferred with Governor Hughes and Republican leaders on party ills in New York State. James R. Keene admitted on the witness stand that he managed pools in Hocking Coal and Iron stock. Captain Saenz, executioner of Cannon and Groce, Americans, was killed in Managua by a Nicaraguan soldier. Frederick Unger, a dog handler and dealer, died of rabies in New York City, after a remarkable fight against the dread disease. Joseph Marok, accused by his bride of three days of robbing her and throwing her in a well, was arrested at Springfield, Mass. Paymaster Auld goes free as the result of the Cowles court-martial, the Navy Department remitting his sentence to lose five numbers. A war of Church and State seemed inevitable in Spain, and if ex-Premier Maura returns to power, a series of political assassinations may occur. Unusual precautions were taken to guard President Taft on his visit to New York City. A large force of detectives and police constantly surrounded him. Carleton Clark Kremer, who has been stolen several times, was found in Boston by his foster-mother. The child's grandmother, Mrs. Buchanan, was locked up as an accessory to the kidnapping. O. H.

John Barrington quietly dropped the oars to the bottam of the boat, and the little ski drifted dreamlly along, dipping softly in and-out of the sun-kissed waves with their cool purple shadows, where the white and gold of the water lilies dreaming their lives away under the crooning Dillows, flashed back a dazzling ra- lance. The girl at the other end of the boat carelessly toyed with one of the exquisite lilies, tearing the creamy petals apart and throwing them out on the water, where they floated along like finy gold crested yachts manned by a fairy crew on a sapphire sea. ‘The man watched the pretty ple- ture through half-closed eyes, for he ‘was an artist, a sculptor, and loved the beautiful, . They had talked of his art, his alms, hls ambitions, and the girl had Ustened in wrapt wonder to his plans for the. future. “I would sacrifice everything that life holds dear for fame,” he was saying as they drifted along, “even love and happiness.” The girl gazed at him with a little horror in her deep, dark eyes, for .she was but seventeen, and a Ilfe de old of love and happiness seemed to her scarcely worth living. Me smiled a little at her dismay, then said very gently: “Those things have no price in an artist's life, Miss ‘Wayne. He lives for his art alone; fame Is the only sweetheart he ever - really knows And that reminds me,” he went on carelessly, “I must -be getting back to town. I have had a ‘delightful holiday, thanks to you, Miss Evelyn, but all pleasant things must end; so I am returning to-mor- row." He did not: care to tell her that the quietness. of Deephaven was becoming unbearable, or that he Jonged for the whirl and confusion of the city. Evelyn Wayne had not yet learned the art of self-control, and her dis- appointment at his departure was plainly visible. The light had died irom her eyes, clear and unshadowed asa child’s, and she suddenly looked pafe and tired like a drooping flower. As they’ reached the little lahding, Barrington held out his hand to help her alight, but she sprang lightly ‘past him, and carelessly swinging her dig fluffy hat went toward 'the houso. He followed at a little distarke, but she entered the cool shadawed hall . Without looking back and up the stairs to her own apartments, ¢ ‘Unacquainted with the ways of the world as she was, she could not un- derstand that Barrington looked on her as a beautiful child, as one of the frall half blown roses In d bowl 6n the table that he stooped and gently caressed because he loved all that was Zair and lovely, and he would have _ laughed with keen enjoyment had he known that that beautiful child, as he might have callea Evelyn Wayne, had given him all the love of -her ‘girlish heart. . * It was five years later when he saw her again, and five years of foreign study and trayel had transformed the half biown bud into the queenly, Deautiful rose.

Thus the State secures the services of a horse for an annual outlay of about 24 10s.; but there are certaln other éx- "penses which must be fneluded in ‘this estimate, such as the ‘cost of ‘the establishment for remomnt de~ pots, ete., which ratses the total cost of horses for the Swiss Government to about £2 12s. a year.

Post, of Battle Creek, Michigan, fs not only a maker of breakfast foods, but he is a strong individualist, who belfeves ‘that the trades-unions are 2 menace to the liberty of the country. | Belfeving this, and being a “nat~ ural-born” ecrapper for the right, as he sees it, Post, for several years past, has been engaged in a ceaseless war- fare against “the Labor Trust,” a8 he Ikes to call tt. Not being able to secure free and untrammeled expression of hhis opin- fons on this subject through the regu- lar reading pages of the newspapers he hes bought advertising space for this purpose, just as he is accustomed to for the telling of his Postum “story,” and he has thus spent hun- dreds of thousands of dollars in de- nouncing trades-unfonism. ‘As a result of Post's activitles the people now know a whote lot about these orgariizations: how they are honeycombed with graft, how they obstruct the development of legiti— mate business, curtall labor's output, hold up manufacturers, graft upon their own membership, and rob the public. Naturally Post 1s hated by the trades-unionists, and intensely. He employs no union labor, so they can not call out his men, and he de- fies thelr efforts at boycotting his pro- ducts, The latest moans of “getting” Post is the widespread publication of the story that a car which was re- cently wrecked in transmission was found to bé loaded with empty pea- nut shells, which were being shipped from the South to Post's establish- ment at Battlo Creek. This canard probably orlginated with President John Fitzgerald, of the Chicago Federation of Labor, who, it is sald, stated it publicly, as truth. ‘ ‘Post comes back and gives Fitzger- ald the Me direct. He denounces Fitzgerald's statement as a deliberate falsehood, end underhanded and cowardly attempt to Injure his bust- ness, having not the slightest basis in fact. As such an effort it must be regarded. It ts significant that this statement about “the peanut shella’’ fg belng glven wide newspaper pub- lcity.

The conservative element of his party and certainly our people do not regret his defeat. The grand jury has indicted two white men and one colored man for the Perry street triple murder. It is hoped that an early trial will be arranged. Macon's Broadax seems to be very sharp. It is making some fine cuts. Its last issue was brimful of articles that proved very interesting reading. The Broadax should come to stay and continue giving light in dark places. THE TRIBUNE is glad, even if it is only a small sop, that the recent grand jury has officially noted the inadequacy of the facilities for colored children. It is hoped that this will be enlarged on by the next grand jury and in time touch the hearts of the members of the board of education to give us another building. Some time ago the white Knights of Pythias secured an injunction against the colored Knights getting a charter in this state. The case was argued and finally taken to the supreme court of the state on an appeal. On Monday the supreme court found against the colored Knights. It is understood that an appeal will be taken. This case has no bearing on the recent secret society law. Clerk Sherman Commended For over twenty years, Mr. E. W. Sherman has been an efficient clerk in the Railway Postal Service on the line between Savannah and Montgomery over the S. A. L. He has rendered valuable service and is noted among the best clerks. During these long years Clerk Sherman has never been in a wreck; all of his trains seem immune against this danger. This fact has been noted by all of the railroad officials and it is a common saying that the trains on which he is on will come through the line safe. A letter of commendation was sent Mr. Sherman by Supt. H. B. Grimshaw of the S. A. L., enclosing substantial token, and in part Mr. Grimshaw told him: "I sincerely trust that your services will continue with our line, and prove satisfactory in every way as they have for the past twenty years. "Your record is good, and you should be proud of it. I cheerfully make you this present, and wish you good health and success." The above is pleasing to Mr. Sherman and his friends especially because it came unsolicited. F B B Church Notwithstanding the inclement weather on Sunday, our services were largely attended. The distinguished guests on Sunday night were several lodges of K of P of the Eastern and Western Hemisphere, several Courts of Calanthe and their juvenile branches. Rev. Wright read for the lesson Psalm 26:11 12. Short speeches were made by the leading officers, Rev Wright welcomed them heartily. His text was from I Cor. 13:13. The subject was "Charity." Rev Wright held his hearers spell bound through the whole sermon so plainly did he describe the meaning of charity. He said if the principles of charity were exercised there would be homes provided for the aged, the orphan and the friendless would not be forgotten. It was truly a beautiful sermon The choir sang very sweetly "Praise ye the Lord." Rev. Wright led the hymn "Amazing grace how sweet it sounds." He very touchingly invited those who felt the need of prayer to the mercy seat A large number bowed and Rev. Wright offered a soul stirring prayer in their behalf. The lodges and courts were exceedingly liberal in donating to the church, pastor, choir and sexton. Sunday is our communion and the prayer meeting Sunday morning will be led by the deacons. Do not forget the B Y P U that meets at Rev. Wright's home 518 Duffy street west, every Monday night. You will enjoy our services at any time. St. Phillip Dots. Notwithstanding the dreary weather on last Sunday there was a good crowd out at each service. At the eleven o'clock service the congregation was disappointed in not hearing Bishop C S Smith but owing to some very important business to be attended to at Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Ga., he was unable to be present, but nevertheless Rev R M Singleton, D D our matchless biblical student and pulpit orator delivered one of the ,most eloquent and soul stirring discourses that have been heard in St Philips tor quile awhile. The text was Matt zeth, chapter, 26-27 verses, subject "The grandeur of service." At 8 p.m. Presiding Elder B S Hannah of the Savannah District preached, his text was Psalm 1-15 "Church citizenship" Rev Hannah informed his hearers of the importance of being a citizen of the country in which they live and becoming a citizen by taking out naturalizations papers to become a citizen especially if they love the country in which they live and how much more important it is to become a citizen of heaven and if you want to become a citizen of heaven you must take out your citizenship papers. Every person present paid street attention to the important discourse and was well paid for coming out in the raid and cold. The Evangelical Ministers Union's installation at St Philip on Thursday sight was witnessed by a large audience. There was quite an interesting program ransacked. Presiding Elder T R M Smith, B D, installed the officers of the union. On Wednesday night the Trust Reformers met at St Philip in a union meeting quite an interesting program was carried out. The subscription to St Philip's building fund is still growing every member no matter where you are must subscribe. We also ask that our friends subscribe in doing so it will be a credit to you. The subscription books are open for subscriptions at every service. On Monday night Little Joe gave an enter almighty at St Philips to quite a crowd, half of the proceeds went for the benefit of the church. The following service will be held on tomorrow, graveyard meeting at 5 p.m., preaching at 11 a.m., Sunday school at 3 p.m., A C E League at 4:00 p.m., preaching at 5 p.m. Strangers are cordially invited. B. A. B. Church The attendance at the morning and evening services on last Sunday was as well as could be expected. The pastor Rev. W. L. Jones, delivered two sermons that alone merited a congregation far beyond the seating capacity of his church. At the 1:30 o'clock a service he took for his text St. John 5:28; subject, "Lifting up Jesus gives knowledge," at the 8:30 o'clock a service Abbrew to:95 subject, "A call to remember past real." Indeed those that listened to both sermons regretted nothing in venturing the bad weather, for their hearts were made to rejoice, and the light of the gospel's truth dispelled the glow of the day. The funeral of Brother J. H. Fields In the afternoon was largely attended by friends and the various orders of which he was a member. The pastor in his sermons paid a glowing tribute to his memory, Mrs. Carrie Thurman and Miss Etta McIntosh sang very sweet a duet "Fles as a bird," and the Patriarchio of Odd Fellows read a brief ceremony whilst the officers of rank stood as guards around the casket, arrayed in uniform of the order and with awards at arm. The floral offerings were many and beautiful in designs, all of which bespoke the high esteem of the life of Brother Fields in the church and public. The Rev Carwell, Rev. P. M. Hunter and other ministers assisted the pastor. Later in the afternoon the pastor was called to funeralize the body of Mr. Snyder; father of Bro J. Augustus Sayder, our Sunday school superintendent from his late residence, 656 Bismarck street. The funeral of Sister Leah Simmons took place from the church on last Monday afternoon and was also well attended." The church extend much sympathy to the many hearts that were made sad by the visitation of the grim reaper death during the past two weeks. Much business was transacted at the conference on last Monday night. All members are asked to identify themselves in the rally March 20th, and to ask their friends to assist. The pastor made a flying trip to Cordale, Ga., by request of the executive board of the Missionary Baptist Convention of Ga, Second Baptist Church. The pastor preached at both hours Sunday and his morning subject, "Earth's decisions reversed by the courts of Heaven" was said to be one of his best efforts. The Master services today the supervision of the Sunday school will eclipse all former marriages, and three class prizes are to be given away. Miss Morrell, Mr. Spandling, Mrs. R. M Davis, Jr., and others are added to the sick list also Doeces McHardy our oldest deacon is very sick. Doeces Mack and Rannair urged the importance of the rally at both hours. All the clubs are at work and Miss Charlton, Barnard and Gillard are inaugurating special events in their club system. One of the large local organizations will have its annual sermon preached here Sunday night. At this service the chair will furnish special music. Doesn't fall to here the morning sermon as it will be a treat. Tomorrow is pastor's rally day and every member is urged to present and do their part. One inaugural during the week. Ministers Union. The Evangelical Ministers Union met in St. Philip A M B Church with Dr. L A Townley, presiding Devotional service was conducted by Rev. L E Shellman. "A charge to keep I have" was sung. After prayer the 6th chapter of Ephesians was then read. The Union chanted "O for a heart to praise my God." Rev. D. W. Cannon of the Baptist Union visited the Union and Dr. B E Brown, pastor of Gaines Chaple A M B Church was introduced and gave a timely address. Dr. P W Greatheart's paper, subject, "Where are the dead" was taken up. "The subject was well discussed by the Union. A vote of thanks was tendered Dr. Greatheart. Dr. Singleton announced a series of meetings at his church on the first Sunday in March and will continue until further notice. Vistors always welcome. Ekishop Smith Uphold. Savannah, Gx., Feb. 16, 1819. Whereas there has appeared in recent issues of the, daily press in the state letters inimical to the character and good name of Bishop G S Smith, the presiding bishop of the Sixth Episcopal District of the A M E Church, both as to his policy and management of the church and school work of the District; Therefore be it resolved 1. That we, the A M E Ministers of Savannah, Gx., in council assembled, do hereby condemn the printed articles referred to as being malicious and misleading.

"Ads" in Slang That Tell His Story--Uses a Remarkable Trade Language, But Managers Understand It. 110 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 The merry Thesplan, as he is off stage and among his own kind, using at trade Esperanto incomprehensible to laymen, is well exhibited in the advertising column of the theatrical weeklies. Here the actor is most truly behind the scenes. He dons the mantle of royalty and the silk hat of industrial capaicncy to ask for a job. He tells what he can do, generally with modesty, but sometimes with flamboyant self-assertion that passes for humor. He announces to all the world that he is booked solid for the next five years. Then why advertise? It is one of the inscrutable mysteries of theatrical psychology. But most of the frills are off, a tense, stenographic jargon makes the connection between the jobless "hamfat" and the manager. Almost pathette is the repudiation of stage" glitter and the yearning cry for a real if small salary. The manager advertises plays defently on the money chord and avers solemnly that he, will hand no stage cash to his artists. The actor asks railroad fare; the manager vows he will pay on arrival, for he has "been bit," The actor does not volunteer the information that he is a teetotaler; the manager gives fair warning that he is in sympathy with the prohibition movement and "will not tolerate boozers." "WANTED."—Man for geenteel heavies, Char. & Gen'l Bus. man, Little girl with feature specialties; good sketch team; cornet to double stage, Baryone to double 2 violin, one Silent Team. Strictly sober people only wanted (boozers get quick action): The finest stateroom cars on the road. A long season and your money when dne." The nature of a "gentel heavy" is fairly understood by the theatregoers. "Char." is an abbreviation for character; the mysterious "doubling" of musical instruments means that the performers must both act and play the "instruments, while the "silent team" is one that labors without words in acrobatic or clownish feats. It is, of course, an inducement that the company will travel in "stateroom cars" and not in day coaches. "WANTED.—B. F. Singing and Dancing comedian. Do not comedy in acts. Boozers closed without notice. Salary $10 a week and expenses after joining. Ticket if I know you." In this bid for talent the letters B. F. bid black face, and the threat ate boozers—if it is, seriously apprehended that they could continue intemperate on the salary mentioned—is trapped after the common expression to close a tour or company. Unless you are known to the manager he will not take the risk of sending you a railroad ticket. "WANTED AT ONCE. Med. performers all lines, piano player, man with a picture machine and some films. This is a hotel show, and Lizzie sings every Sunday." It is probably correct to infer from this—and that the medical performers will be required to work seven days in the week, the warbling of Lizzie on the Sabbath being a metaphor. WANTED QUICK.—D. and I. comedian, Blackface S. and D. Man, Sketch Team that can play singles and doubles. I pay all. Salary yours each week. Happy Lanigan, Bessie Bliss, write. A. D. and I. comedian can portray Dutch and Irish parts. S. and D. means song and dance. To pay all is short for all expenses. The promise of possessing a salary each week must be reassuring, while the performers asked to write will understand that the manager prefers to engage them. WANTED.—Repertoire. people. Leading man, leading, woman, heavy man and woman, character, comedian, Director with short scripts, man for Josh. For one nighter. State all in Irish. The director with short scripts must add to his duties, by playing brief parts; the josher will earn his pay in the audience; it is a one-night stand, enterprise, and appliances are requested to give full information in the first letter. "WANTED QUICK.—Good looking young, woman for heavies, ingenues and few characters. Must have good wardrobe on and off. State lowest by wire; you get it every Tuesday." The actress desired by this manager must be well dressed off the stage as well as on the stage, so as to impress the rural inhabitants. Most everybody will see her arrive at the railroad station of Podunkville, and yet it is fitting she should look expensive. "You get it every Tuesday"—money. Here are a few miscellaneous wants: "WANTED."-Ladies to sell tickets, handle snakes, living pictures, work in illusions and dancing girls; ex- perience not necessary state age and weight, travelling company." "WANTED."-To buy very small mule. State size and age. Prefer one broke to January and chasing act. Lowest cash price." "WANTED."-All found Med. Per- formers for Al Med, Co. Boozers, no.

Would like to negotiate with the best talent, My shows are crowded. No limit to singers, lecturers, effect men or any useful picture show people who are top notches in their lines, but don't think I am easy because I say I have no limit; just because you have worked for Jim Brown in Podunk and he offers you a letter of recommendation, don't think you can come to my theatres and make me think you're good, for if you don't please me, I'll can you after the first attempt. Now after you have read and thought over this advertisement drop me a line and tell me what big, not little, houses you have worked, and the salary you actually received for working there; not what you wanted, but what you received. Remember this, if you exaggerate, I'll find it out." Thespians advertising for jobs usually inform the world that they are "at liberty"; thus, "AT LIBERTY—Bums & Bums (Is this a joke?) . Plano, drums and song. Man and wife. 'Pictures a specialty. Salary your limit." One member of the army of unemployed artists conveys a library of meaning in one line, "Anything There's a Dollar In," and subscribes his name and address. Not for him vanity, or aesthetic pride. Frankly and humbly he intimates that he is out for "Anything There's a Dollar In." Doubtless he would take a job at dusting the scenery or shooing away mashers from the stage entrance. But, here is an actor who boasts of his prosperity in frolicsome spelling that suggests spiritual exaltation: "J. KIDDO BERNARDO DYLLY- NO. Pantageso, Empireo Theatrp, San Francisco, Calo. Wecko Marcho Fifteenthto. Oh, you Jeffries Songo, that has it on them allo. A White Rato. Tenthto Wecko and moreo in I. O. Plenty Chinoo." Another light-hearted proclamation is the following: 'I LEFT THE SHOW to go to the White Rats' ball. Ha! ha! Back : It is not every American boy who appreciates the privilege of living in a land to which in some years a million and a quarter of foreign people are journeying. The North American Civic League for Immigrants has just had printed four "Messages," which are to be distributed among the newcomers who are ignorant of American customs and do not understand the national idea of democracy or the responsibilities of self-government. The "Messages" are translated into Yiddish, Italian, German, Finnish, Arabic, Polish and Lithuanian, but their homely instruction and advice are so much to the point that two university graduates, on reading them through, declared even, they, had learned something new, and that every American boy would do well to do the same. For example, after stating simply the general conditions which the alien may expect to meet and his privilege to have as much liberty as you can have without interfering with others and being disorderly. Message One goes on with such counsel as, "You must be kind and polite to every one with whom you have business. By so doing, and being honest and industrious you will make many friends." You should learn something of the laws which you must obey. "It is necessary for every citizen to think seriously about what is right and wrong, and to vote for that which is right. By so doing he will pro- again, back again. Irving R. Walton. That versatile fellow with fifty-seven varieties of vaudeville." No manager looking for a trustworthy laborer in the vineyard of art could pass-by, this announcement: "AT LIBERTY, Joe Bryant, Irish and Black Face, S. and D. Comedian. Change for week; up in acts. Don't drink, chew nor smoke. Reliable mgrs. only. I make good. Ticket." A pair of sketch artists declare that they must have transportation, but as evidence of good faith and to insure the manager against being bilked on his tickets, they "will send baggage checks for security." It stands to reason that you can't check baggage without tickets, and that the artists must follow their baggage. Statistics, not verbiage, are offered by the members of a stock team seeking engagement. The man is thirty years old, five feet ten inches, 135 pounds, while the woman is twenty-one years old, five feet seven and a half inches, 140 pounds. If the waist measurements and pedigree of the pair were given, doubtless an insurance actuary could calculate the amount of egg and vegetable tribute they would receive during a six weeks' tour of the mining camps in "Romeo and Juliet." The profession is informed that a "renowned female impersonator played the week of S" in a Tennessee theatre and has two more dates ahead, so it is premature for his friends to fear that he will not eat. On the other hand, owing to the closing of that sterling American drama "Me, Him and I," a good actor is disconnected from the lunch counter and begs managers to take note of his plight. Hello! Say! Listen! Merely to advertise the fact that the Original Hotel Switchboard Girl is in the hands of her friends and ready for good openings, There is a union carpenter and propertyman who offers to play parts in addition to using saw and hammer. Next to the announcement of a sketch writer that he will supply a sketch, two monologues, five parodies, and gags and lots of lively patter, all for twenty cents in stamps, there is an offer of "five good Tom dogs cheap." What is a Tom dog? He is not a relatieve of the tom cat, but a canine actor who pursues Eliza and her offspring over the ice in the classical piece "Uncle Tom's Cabin." It is stated in heavy type that a man and woman are ENGAGED. The announcement, however, is not matrimonial, though it appears in connection with the "Married For Money" company. There is a delicate propriety in the insertion at paid rates of commendation by a Richmond (Va.) Chief of Police of an actress playing in a drama pronounced indelicate by thin-skinned New York critics. A policeman ought to know moral goods when he sees them, anyhow, his judgment goes with the box office. "Have you seen my black Salome?" asks a vaudeville Mayme. Stage mobs of the right sort, graft and other evils obliterated, are offered to urprise at any time by a person who, furthermore, makes a specialty of stage children. "I Am the Man Who Pulled" looks odd in big type, but it seems he pulled an amusement company through the summer last season, and would like, to pull some more. How would you like to buy 860 feet of "Sold to Thieves; or a Deathbed Confession?" A closer examination shows that it is a moving picture film. When buying films, remember that "quality pays." If it pays me, then, by all the gods, it will pay you. "Don't experiment with junk. It is as costly as blue blazes in the end." Most actresses seem to have splen- did first names, like Snidee, Thais, Mayme, Bettina, Adele, Kathryn, Clare, Beryl, Enlid. The last name may be Magninls without spoiling the effect.—New York Tribune.

"Republics have' always decayed and persisted miserably as soon as the people forgot to be good and fit themselves for the management of affairs. "Do not carry weapons. "Keep everything clean and sweet about your person, your home and your street. This is your best protection against disease." Message Two opens with the enlightening-thought that the first people who came to this land were very poor, but were virtuous and had wise leaders. "In order that they might always have those among them who would be 'wise' enough to lead, they established free schools." It goes on: "If you expect to remain in this country and better yourself like all other Americans, you must seek out the schools. These are of various sorts. * * * "It is for you to make friends with nativeborn Americans if you care to learn from them and enjoy the things, that make them envied by other people." Message Three inculcates the inspiring idea that only through the "industry, frugality, honesty and bravery of the piloneers and their followers was the winning of the wilderness made possible." Message Four gives the biography of Abraham Lincoln; and lays special emphasis on the fact that, "there are few to-day who have to work as hard as young Lincoln did—and none who do not have more opportunities." A Triple Structure, Two 'Parts' Old and One Part New. Little Beauport; the home of Henry Davis Sleeper at Gloucester, is called, by its admirers the most attractive small house in New England. New in part, it nevertheless contains a great share of each of two old houses. Much of Little Beauport's old time atmosphere, says Town and Country, has come from the Cogswell mansion of Easer, Mass., that has been practically enmeshed in its walls—all the bevelled panelling was taken out of the home of the Cogswells and Choates erected in 1723. When Mr. Sleeper, purchased this interior and contents of this historic edifice it had been closed for twenty years. Birds had built nests on the chimney pieces, the floors were sunken and the wind had wrought havoc with the tattered wall, papers and the bed curtains of four posters. It was a scene worthy of Hawthorne's pen, and strangely enough in a secretary among papers dating from Revolutionary times up to mid-Victorian days its purchaser came upon an unpublished manuscript of that author who was always stirring the musty lavender of dead New England. In Beauport's great hall to the left of the smiling living room hall there are several pieces of Jacobean furniture found in a locked wine bin in the Cogswell's cellar. The great hall contains examples of earlier furniture. One jewelled cabinet was fashioned not long after the Conquest. The hall with its dark woodwork, its stretches of stone and few pieces of dim purple fabric is the most romantic portion of the house. It contains a gallery named 'Ladies' Gallery and a loftier one for musicians. The enormous fireplace is the feature of the place. Bird's Fondness for Tobacco. A correspondent states that, he possesses a tame magpie to which he sportively offered an extinguished cigar stump. The bird began to tear the stump apart, but apparently changing its mind proceeded to nib the stump held in its beak over every part of its body, including the inside of the wings, in a very careful and methodical manner. The experiment was subsequently repeated many times, always with the same result. The magpie is so fond of tobacco that it has repeatedly enstached a lighted cigar from his hand, against his will. It also picks up fallen cigar ashes and streshes them over its feathers. He thinks these actions have a purpose, the destruction of parasites, and are determined by atavism or inherited instinct. In the wild state some unidentified plant must have been used instead of tobacco as an insecticide. The magpie's action furthermore seems to be an unquestionable instance of the use of "tools" by a lower animal—Kosmas. We are all very charitable until the moment comes to give out cold cash. The expression "as crooked as Pearl street" is a familiar one, but the term "straight as Republican Alley" is hardly known outside of real estate brokers in describing their honesty of purpose. Republican Alley is no mythical thoroughfare, explains the New York Tribune. It extends from about the middle of the north side of Reade street, between Lafayette street and Broadway. It forms an "L," and its two dimensions make a perfect right angle. SHE QUIT But It Was a Hard Pull. It is hard to believe that coffee will put a person in such condition as it did an Ohio woman. She tells her own story. "I did not believe coffee caused my trouble, and frequently said I liked it so well I would not, and could not quit drinking it, but I was a miserable sufferer from heart trouble and nervous prostration for four years. "I was scarcely able to be around, had no energy and, did not care for anything. Was emaciated and had a constant pain around my heart until I thought I could not endure it. For months I never went to bed expecting to get up in the morning. I felt as though I was liable to die any time. "Frequently, I had nervous pills and the least excitement would drive sleep away, and any little noise would upset me terribly. I was gradually getting worse until finally one time it came over me and I asked myself what's the use of being sick all the time and buying medicine so that I could indulge myself in coffee? "So I thought I would see if I could quit drinking coffee, and got some Postum to help me quit. I made it strictly according to directions and I want to tell you, that change was the greatest step in my life. It was easy to quit coffee because I land the Postum which I now like better than the old coffee. "One by one the old troubles left, until now I am in splendid health, nerves steady, heart all right and the pain all goner.

KIDNEY TROUBLE Suffered Ten Years—Relieved in Three Months Thanks to PE-RU-NA. O. B. FIZER. "Last March I commenced using Perma and continued for three months. I have not used it since, nor have I felt a pain." Testing the Run of Golf Balls. There is a capital way, which we have discovered only lately, of testing the running of a golf ball off the putter. It can only be adopted on a day when the green or lawn is coated over with drops of moisture on the grass blades, either from white frost, dew, or the deposit of a rea fog or Scotch mist. When this is so each ball as it runs along leaves its track plainly marked by a green line where it has swept the silvery drops off the grass blades. The difference in the way of running of balls of different makes, and of some balls of the same make, is very marked and curious. We can assure all and sundry that it is a test worth trying, because the knowledge of the ball that will run true on the putting green is knowledge that will serve us well.—Country Life.

BOX 52, CHARLOTTE, N. O. Continued Advance Due to Increased Consumption and Variety of Diet Demanded. Professor Milton Whitney, chief of the Bureau of Soils of the Department of Agriculture, has added his voice to the general chorus of explanation as to why the price of food continually advances and never recedes. His is the explanation of the scientist who is watching the development of the producing capacity of our farm lands, the increase in the volume as well as the value of our products. He inclines to ascribe the unremitting advance to the fact that as Americans grow richer in material wealth, such as incomes from capital and from the results of labor in its various forms, they are constantly increasing the amount they eat, the variety of their diet and the quality of food which they demand. Professor Whitney said: "The Secretary of Agriculture has for years been calling attention to the increase in the amount and value of our crops. Why the increased cost, if productivity has more than kept pace with the per capita growth? Obviously because of the increased demand per capita. The amount we consume is in some sense proportional to the variety of our foods and our ability to purchase. We are as a nation very rich; wages are high, and we can afford variety, and we all enjoy far greater variety than we did fifty years ago. The markets in our cities, large and small, already have in December spring and summer vegetables, fruits and meats at prices within the reach of the masses of our people." Variety Increases Consumption. "We have tempting varieties of breakfast foods and other preparations made of wheat and corn. This variety tends to increase consumption. We eat more per capita than we used to. If the people can afford it, why not? "The present conditions of soil productivity, the falling off of our exports, and the high price of food stuffs, if taken altogether with the general prosperity, do not, to my mind, indicate danger of starvation, even if we were compelled at some future time to tone down the high living we are at present enjoying. "It does show that our farmers are engaged in a winning and a growing occupation with a large and growing demand for the things they produce. Agriculture in Its Infancy. "Agriculture in this country is in its infancy, and we have hardly more than cleared the ground and got the fences up. When we settle down to the real business of farming, and get a thorugh knowledge of the soil of each field, as the people of the longer settled countries of Europe have done, we shall have fewer failures to pull down our average of productivity. "There never have been greater opportunities offered for American farming. In the East and South especially are cheap and productive soils awaiting resettlement and reoccupation, with over increasing variety of products. We should apply ourselves in earnest and with determination to get the-best out of them by exercising intelligent control of these invaluable assets. We should, furthermore, do this by force of intellect or foresight, rather than by force of necessity, as has been the case in European countries." Wasted Effort. The man who thirsts for knowledge halted the banana seller. "My friend," he said, "I am deeply interested in this unfortunate discussion over the identity of the true discoverer of the Hudson River." The banana man smiled. "Tree for five-a-cent," he said. The questioner shook his head. "As an Italian," he resumed, "you must be familiar with the name and deeds of the famous Verrazzano." "Playa da org?" "No, no. Verrazano, the great navigator." "Ah! Lulig—gotta da monk?" "No, no. Salla da sheep—navigator, mariner, discoverer. 'Understand?' "Colombo?" "No, not Columbus. Verrazzano. Long time ago—little boat—crossed the ocean—found the Hudson River—great man — Verrazzano — Italiano! "Where he live?" "He doesn't live. He died a long time ago." "Michael Angelo?" "Verrazzano!"

Mr. Kreezus, the multimillionaire, was entertaining a friend at his elegant country home. "I was born and brought up in this neighborhood," he said, "and when I was a boy I used to think what a fine thing it would be to have a house on this hill. It's the highest point of ground, you will notice, within a circuit of several miles, and the view from here is extensive." "It is magnificent!" exclaimed the visitor. "Yes, and when the time came that I could afford it I gratified my boyish ambition by buying the land around here-and putting up this house." "I have been in a great many places, and I have never seen a finer landscape." "That's what I used to think, but I don't like it now as well as I did when I was a boy." "What makes the difference?" "It isn't complete." "Not complete? Why, you own the Landscape, don't you?" "That's the trouble. I own all of it but that eighty acre patch over there beyond the creek, about six miles away. The old curmudgeon that owns it won't sell it to me at any figure." And Mr. Kreezus sighed dismally. According to the London Hospital, some English physicians are ordering patients to eat oysters that have been well soaked in sea water, as a cure for dyspepsia and tuberculosis.

Come, whistle through the dreary wood And stars shall gleam above you. The night shall breathe of naught but good, The stillnesses shall love you: The sighs you waste, the griefs you taste And the tears you scorn, And they shall flee in utter haste When dawn the morrow morning. So clap your comrade by the hand And clap him on the shoulder; And clap him on the shoulder Is never growing colder. The faith of friends—it never ends; Have done with servile fawning And have done with bends Above us at the dawning. Come, whistle through the dreary wood For stars above are gleaming; A song of joy is understood. The rest is but the seeming. The clouds shall fly along the sky Forgetful of their warning; Your song shall have its glad reply When dawns the morrow morning. —Chicago Post. In Love as In War. By Mary Louise Buzzell It was the last night of the Rockville Fair, and so far Margaret Carruth had firmly refused to have her fortune told by Madame Narjalo, the Persian palmist, whose booth, just beyond her own, had been the most successful feature of the fair; for the gray-haired priestess holding court within had generously predicted such perfectly felicitous terminations to the tangled love affairs laid before her that each seeker after knowledge left her mystic presence thoroughly convinced that he or she had individually "cornered" the Cupid market But Margaret had laughed at them all, declaring that she had no patience with anyone believing in such nonsense! But tonight she began to wavier, for so enthusiastic had been the nightly reports of Madame's powers that it almost seemed as if there must be something in it! If only she could consult the oracle without the knowledge of her girl friends! For oh, she did so want to know the reason of Billy Travers' defection and the cause of his taking no notice of her humbly written overture toward a "peace conference" sent him after their last quarrel! Why, always before he had fairly flown to her side at the first wave of a flag of truce, and now, after a whole month, he— She swallowed convulsively, hiding her face behind the aprons she was pilling up for delivery. A sudden cessation of the gay talk and laughter, caused her to raise her head. She was practically alone, everyone having drifted to where the surplus food was being auctioned off. Leaving her work she slipped between the portieres of the next booth. Slinking into a chair she looked shyly across the polished table at, the imposing, gray pompadoured woman opposite, and who, though so near, was scarcely visible through the thick cloud of incense lazily curling its sinuous way upward from the open mouth of a colled silver serpent. Half frightened she gazed dumbly into the burning eyes holding her own with a weird fascination. And then: "You would know the future?" interrogated a low voice from beyond the wavering cloud, and under the spell of her uncanny surroundings, Margaret could barely manage a falut, "Oh, Madame I wish to know—to—to find out—" before her voice died away in silence. But Madame Narjalo seemed unaware of her embarrassment. She was intently watching a shallow silver vessel, and its limpid contents caught the light from above she began in a. low monotone: "You seek to know many things—I can tell you many things! Listen!" The lifeless tone changed to one of sharp decision, as Madame rapidly sketched her visitor's life with startling accuracy. The present reached, she hesitated—then finished with: "You have quarrelled with your lover. You are unhappy. You think his love has grown cold; perhaps that another has won his heart. It is not so. His every thought is of you—and one kind word would bring—" "But I—I—wrote—and he—he—never ca-ame*" tearfully. The silver bowl was hastily pushed aside. "You have broken the spell! I can see but this—in a three or a five he will come to you if—hardly above a whisper—"you truly love him!" "Oh, I do! I do!" with impulsive canard. "And his whole heart is yours!" murmured Madame. Then rising abruptly, she uttered a low "Good night," and the girl passed out. But a moment later she was back with a breathless, "Madame-pardon! I forgot—" then stopped short. The booth was empty save for the fast thinning cloud of incense and the uncolled body of the silver serpent, now stretched in glistening repelliveness across the table. With an irrepressible shudder, she turned and fled. At home, away from the dominating presence, the old doubts assailed her. But they were needless; Madame Narr jalo had predicted truly, for in lees time than the mystic "three" a chastened and contrite Billy appeared, ready, even anxious to swallow an unlimited quantity of "humble pie." But Margaret was generous, and taking advantage of her lenency, he urged his suit so ardently that she found herself engaged and the wedding day was set almost before she realized it. And then, alas, even in the first flush of triumph, poor Billy met his Waterloo! Margaret insisted that Madame Narjalo's name should head the list of wedding guests! "Because you know Billy," she said, "that if it hadn't been for her knowledge of the occult we might have been quarrelling now, instead of being the happiest couple in the world." Billy coughed and turned a lively scarlet. "You will find her, won't you, de-car?" caloingly. "I-I would if I could, but I can't." "But why?" "Well—er—she's—she's gone! Very likely she's—er—dear by this time; or getting married herself!" desperately. "Bill-lee Travers." "Well, anyway, I simply can't produce her, even to please you!" "Margaret laughed wickedly." "Bill, now tell me! Have you burned up that lovely gray-pompadoured wig, and the beautifully-spangled gray velvet gown, and the nice wigly tin snake?" "Margaret Carruth! exploded Billy in an injured tone. "You knew me all the time I was babbling that fool, jargon? Well, of all the 'decelving young persons!'" "M-m-m, I like that! Decelving, indeed! And what of yourself—asking me such shamefully personal questions!" "Margaret, forgive me!" wiling into abject contrition. "I've felt like a perfect god ever, since. But I simply had to find out if you cared." "And I simply had to let you, Billy," she confessed. "So let's cry quits and agree that 'Alps fair in love and war.'" "You're a darling!" declared Mr. Travers warmly. Then wrinkling his forehead perplexed, he exclaimed: "But I can't see now how you knew me! What was wrong with my makeup?" "Nothing, excepting the size of the feet you stretched out under that table!" answered Margaret with a reminiscent smile. IN HOTEL SAFES. Valuables Kept There by Guests for Years at a Time. A woman walked up to the counter of a fashionable hotel and asked for a package of valuables which was in the safe. "If I had not wanted one particular thing I suppose I should have left the package where it was for another three years," she said to the clerk. "Yes," said the clerk in answer to a question after the woman left, "that packet had really been in our safe for three years. Why, we have all sorts of valuable papers, jewelry and even money that are entrusted to our keeping for years at a time. People seem to prefer a hotel safe to a safety deposit vault. One reason, perhaps, is that it costs nothing. Another is that the standard of hotel clerks has improved "It is astonishing the amount of jewelry that people keep in hotel safes. Of course the owners have originally stopped in the hotel, but they go away, leaving their valuables, and I have known such persons to be gone as much as two years, and never make an inquiry about their property in that time. "To show you how much confidence people have in hotels and their employees, I might mention that the other day a man came in here and put four $1000 bills in an envelope, wrote his name on the latter and asked me to put it in the safe. Not long ago another man actually, did the same thing with seven $10,000 bills." The clerks of several other hotels talked in a similar strain without any outside suggestion. "I'll bet I have handled more than a million dollars worth of jewelry today," said one. "Look here," and he opened the safe and piled six or eight big jewelry cases on the counter, but hurriedly put them back. "In one of these I know there is over $200,000 worth, and what I showed you was only a few of what the safe contains." Up to a big hotel near the park the employees are greatly concerned about the freedom with which a wealthy foreign woman who is stopping there displays her jewels. Every evening she wears a rope of pearls that goes twice around her neck and then falls to her knees, to which is attached a lorgnette. Everybody who has seen the jewels has exclaimed at their size and perfect matching, and wealthy patrons of the house who have sold as well as bought jewels say the necklace is worth not a cent less than $200,000. The owner went the other day into one of the big jewelry houses and business was immediately suspended while everybody crowded about to admire the necklace—New York Sun. The Old Man's Worry. "I reckon this advice to the early Christmas shopper, is all right," said the "Old Man," "and since it's got to be done, the sooner it's over with the better. But the trouble is they won't shop early and stop there. There are six girls, in the family, and they'll all want to be early, but they'll also think it their duty to be as late as the latest shoppers. They'll be, in the last: Christmas shopping crowds, and what is puzzling me is "just how my pocketbook is going to stand the racket."-Atlanta Constitution. Relative Profits. Too many farmers know little or nothing in regard to the relative profits from the individual cows in their herds. Yet to make the daily farm what it should be, this is absolutely necessary. If they will seriously consider the subject they will soon conclude that the pleasure of milking and feeding a cow twice each day and otherwise caring for her is not sufficient compensation for the labor.—Farmers' Home Journal. Choice of Sows. One should choose his sows from a breed that is long bodied, roamy in her build, and prolific. You want a large number of pigs to the litter and you want them to have plenty of milk, so pick a sow that will give both. Then cross her with a boar of a compact, easy fattening, quickly maturing type, and these characteristics will appear in the offspring to a marked degree if the breeds are well suited for mating. —Farmers' Home Journal. Good Roads. During the winter we have a chance of knowing where the bad roads are if we ever do. We know many country highways that are almost impossible during the winter and spring months. Recently a prominent educational man said to us that he thought good roads were at the bottom of all improvement in rural schools. We cannot have good schools until they are consolidated and consolidation is impractical until the roads are put in at least passable condition throughout the year. And it is true good roads lessen the cost of marketing crops and increase land values. Why do we hesitate about making an improvement?—Farmer's Guke. Skim Milk and the Pigs. Where dairies or butter factories are, or where the milch cow is a factor for other purposes than the sale of milk as such, the pig is a most useful and profitable adjunct. Upon the skim milk judiciously used with other and more substantial foods, he thrives, grows and fatten, utilizing a by-product of tremendous volume which without the pig would represent little of available value. It is said that the skim milk from the butter factories of New York alone amounts to nearly a billion pounds in a single year. The use of this skim milk does much to give relief from monotony so common in the hog's feeding, besides adding to the returns from the other, or main foods with which it is given, and every hog-raiser is glad to have it.—From Coburn's "Swine in America." To Control Mildew. It is very well worth while to have some bushes of the big, English, gooseberries. They are enormous fruiters, the berries almost as big as plums and of fine flavor; but as stated they are subject to mildew. For years this was considered a fatal, defect, now it is recognized that all that is necessary is to give the bushes a spraying early in the spring and at intervals later until bearing time. The spraying solution which has given the best results during several years of comparative trial by the New York Experiment Station is: One ounce of potassium sulphide to two or three gallons of water. This has proven superior to the Bordeaux soda mixture or copper carbonate solution. The mildew generally makes its appearance during May or early June and it is first noticed in glistening frosty spots on the young fruit and on the lower shaded parts of the bush. Later the spots enlarge and turn brown. If the attack is bad, it will affect the young twigs and may even destroy the bushes in a single year. As with all fungus diseases, the attack is always worse in a wet year than during a dry season. It should be remembered that spraying against fungus is always mainly preventive, and that treatment must commence early in the season, before the disease shows itself.—G. E. M., in the Michigan Farmer. Tuberculosis in Cattle. Tuberculosis or consumption in cattle is an infectious and communicable disease known by the formation in the glands and other parts of the body of small bunches called tubercles. It is from these tuberoles that the disease receives its name. Tuberculosis. The germs of tuberculosis enter the body by way of the nostrils in the air breathed, or by way of the mouth or digestive tract in feed. As soon as the germs enter the body they begin to multiply, slowly but surely, until the entire body of the animal becomes affected; such animals spread the disease to other animals stabled with them and calves or pigs consuming milk from a tuberculous cow are Hable to become affected as are human belines. All germ diseases, and especially tuberculosis, are more liable to affect animals that are in a run down condition, such as cows afflicted with infectious abortion or retained afterbirth, than those that are in a strong, healthy condition, for the reason that the animal that lacks vitality acts as a hot bed for the germs of diseases to propagate and multiply, while the healthy, strong, vigorous animal may ward off the disease to some extent. Tuberculosis being largely a house or stable disease due to artificial life such as being housed or stabled every possible precaution should be taken to prevent disease. One tuberculosis cow in a close, cool, hot badly ventilated stable is liable to infect all oth- er cattle in the barn. To prevent and guard against disease, it is necessary to maintain absolute cleanliness-Dr. David Roberts, in the Farmers' Home Journal. Farming an Endless Job. We are told everywhere that farming is an endless job. The constant routine of planting, cultivating, harvesting and preparing the soil may be handled in such a way that there would be a little rest period between but the endless amount of smaller details that have to be taken care of occupy evc 7 moment of the farmer's time whether the sun shines or the clouds o'ercast the sky. It is not the purpose to refute the statement that farming is an endless job but rather to show that there are some things a good deal worse than having an endless job. says Kimball's Dairy Farmer. In the first place the farmer who carries on his work systematically is never deprived of a vacation of a few days or weeks, as the case may be. If he will handle his work right he may leave it safely and go away for a change of scene and for a rest. There are countless men scattered over the country who would be mighty glad to have just such a job as the farmer has; that is, an endless job. When a man is away looking for work and when his family is at home suffering for the needs that his wages must buy for them, the bugbear of an endless job loses all its gruseness and looks more like a blessing than a curse. There is another side of the question also. These countless details that make farming an endless job are in variability of a nature that will increase profitability of the farm and the farm stock. When a man is working in such a way as to constantly increase the value of his holdings he takes such an interest in his work that all the hardship quickly fades away. There are a great many things that are worse than an endless job and consequently there are a great many things worse than farming. Farm' Notes. Don't let the machinery cry for oil. Oil is the cheapest machinery we have. Better house, the machinery in the winter; clean and oil it and keep it in repair. The manure spreader is not a passing fad. It is a labor saver and has come to stay. It is estimated that it costs the farmer more to haul a bushel of grain than it does a railroad to haul a ton of it. Be sure to drain all water from the steam or gasoline engine as soon as you, are, through with it. New cylinders and pipes are expensive, and Jack Frost was never known to do them any good. Remember that the farm machinery manufacturer made the following statement: "If the farmer cared for his machinery as he should, there would be a need for us to manufacture but, one machine where we are now putting out two." If you raise grain why not own a fanning mill? It will pay for itself in one season. There is always some grain that needs cleaning or grazing before it is ready for the market or for seeding purposes, and the fanning mill is the machine that will put it in condition. The gasoline engine requires about one pint of gasoline for each horsepower-per-hour, or one gallon for running. Thus, a two-horse power engine will use about two gallons in eight hours. Figuring gasoline at 15 cents per gallon, this engine could be run eight hours for 30 cents' worth of gasoline. The question is often asked: "Which is the best make of machine?" The answer to this is, select one of a standard make that is known to be good, even if it costs a little more than something you cannot be sure about. Select the machine for which you can secure repairs in a short time. It is usually best to buy from your local implement dealer. He should be able to furnish the necessary repairs and will see to it that the machine works satisfactorily.—From "Farm Machinery Notes," by H. M. Bainer. Mule Got His Mate Up. The street was slippery and the driver pulled at the reins. The mules strained in their effort to turn the wagon. One slipped. The next moment it was down and mixed up in the harness. The driver swore—and not gently. "Twenty minutes now before I get that fool mule up," he grumbled as he left his seat on the wagon. But he didn't count on the mules. The one that was still on his feet looked at the one on the ground. Then he reached over and bit him on the "top-knot." There was an animal grunt and a kicking of feet. Then without aid the mule got up. By the time the driver was back on his seat the mules were tugging again—Kanssas City Star. Velled Accusation. "It is not always necessary to make a direct accusation," said the lawyer, who was asking damages because insinuations had been made against his client's good name. You may have heard of the woman who called to the hired girl, Mary, Mary, come here and take the parrot downstairs—the master has dropped his collar button!"—Everybody's Magazine. --- THE PULPIT. A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY DR. ROBERT J. KENT. Theme: The World-Wide Vision. Brooklyn, N. Y.—In the Lewis Avenue Congregational Church, Sunday morning, the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Robert J. Kent, preached on "The World-Wide Vision." He took for his text, Revelation 11:15: "The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever." Dr. Kent said: "The World-Wide Vision" and the men who have been privileged to see it is my theme this morning. The power to see visions and to dream dreams is one of the noblest God has given to men. Men might be classified according to the scope and quality of their visions. There are those who cannot see beyond the narrow horizon of their own selfish interests, their own health and happiness, their own home and business. They are spiritually near-sighted. "God bless me and mine" is the burden of their prayer if they pray at all. Then there are those whose vision includes their village, their political party, their denomination. They dream of a glorious future, but of a future hemmed in by their narrow interests. They are like men who have climbed to some spur of the mountains whence they get a splendid view, but it is only in one direction. Others there are who climb to the summit and get the inspiring prospect of a far-extended and unbroken horizon. Such men are thinking not only of their city, State, nation, but of the world; not only of their family, their clan, their social class, their race, but of humanity. There have always been men who have thought and hoped and prayed in terms of the whole world. Their feet may never have crossed the boundary of their native land, but their love and hope and prayer have encompassed the earth. In a recent classification of the books of the Bible, two of the sacred writings, Daniel and Revelation, have been called books of vision. But the entire collection, psalm and prophecy, gospel and epistle, is bright with the light of the world-wide vision. That magnificent statesman-prophet, Isaiah, prince of preachers, whose messages we have been pondering Sunday mornings, stood on the summit and saw all nations walking with glad willingness in the light of the divine revelation that should shine forth from Jerusalem. And we hear the great prophet, of the exile proclaiming in words that after all the intervening centuries still sound like majestic music: "Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people, but the Lord shall arise upon thee and His glory shall be seen by thee. And the nations shall come to thy light and kings to the brightness of thy rising." True, in the golden future that the prophet saw, Jerusalem was the centre and her dominion was world-wide. Nevertheless, it was a universal reign of righteousness, good will and peace. It seems strange that anyone should be satisfied with anything less than a world-wide vision, who has 'vowed loyal allegiance to Jesus and has pondered the Master's words. For in parable and prayer, in cheering assurance and in the final commission He spoke in terms of the wide world. You recall His familiar words, "The field is the world. The kingdom of heaven is like the grain of mustard seed that grows into a great tree. It is like leaven that in time seavens the whole lump. When the Son of Man shall come to judge, all nations shall be gathered before Him. Be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. When ye pray, say, our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on the earth as it is in heaven. All power in heaven and in earth is given unto Me; go ye; therefore, and make disciples of all the nations." How significant in this connection is the title He assumed, Son of Man! As if thereby to proclaim that He stood in relation to the whole of humanity, and that His mission of love and life was to the whole world. That world-wide vision has been part of the heritage handed down through the Christian centuries. It set on fire the heart of Paul. He recognized no barrier to the conquering advance of the gospel. The world was divided into Jew and Gentile, and to both the gospel was the power of God unto salvation. That world-wide vision has given us our New Testament. Never in the world's history have there been so many men and women who have beheld the vision as to-day. The increasing number of those who stand on the highest peak of hope and aspiration for humanity is an outstanding feature of our own day. It is a sign of the times. The young men who saw visions while they prayed in the shelter of the haystack, the men who dreamed dreams while they worked at the cobbler's bench or in the mill, have been followed by a vast multitude, whose prayer is, "Thy kingdom come," and whose song is "Christ for the world." This is the day of great missionary conventions, when the largest auditoriums in the city are needed to accommodate the multitudes who have seen the vision, but the largest gathering is but a very small minority of those who believe and pray that the kingdom of this world shall become the kingdom of Christ. It is only when we consider the essential features of this world-wide vision that we appreciate the sublime faith and hope of which it has been born. It includes the establishment of the kingdom of God in this world. Men still believe in heaven; its faith is their comfort and support in beaement and when life's evening shadows lengthen, its songs inspire them with peace and joy. But they believe more than they ever did before in the future of this world, and that here the purpose and plans of God are to be worked out. Then the vision embraces all classes and conditions of humanity, separated though they are by differences of culture and esteem, nationality and religion — far more serious barriers to union than are oceans and mountains; Moreover, it contemplates a complete fusion of mankind into one brotherhood. It means the regeneration and transformation of society. We are hearing a good deal to-day about a social salvation: It is a true and very significant note to strike in the effort, to redeem the world. Not only must the heart be changed, but the customs and relations of men must be brought into conformity with the spirit of the Master. The leaven must work in city and village, in store and factory, in legislatures and courts, in the markets and bank, as well as in the home and church. The command of Jesus included more than the act of baptizing on confession of one's faith. A long, patient process of Christian education was emphasized: "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you." That means the translation of the Sermon on the mountaintake of the life of the world. That takes time. In the Laymen's Missionary Movement, which is interesting our city just now, the idea of uniting the energies of the denominations for a speedy conquest of the world is often mentioned. By all means speed the day when the whole earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters fill the sea. But let us not forget that the world-wide vision will not be realized until the sovereignty of Jesus is established over the life of the world. Consecrated men and money could, within a generation, doubtless carry the Gospel into all the world, but it will take more than a generation before the song that the multitude sang in the apocalyptic vision shall be sung by a thoroughly Christianized humanity: "The kingdom of the world is become the kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ. Such is the scope and character of the world-wide vision. It is a dream of a universal golden age. It is a hope of brotherhood embracing every tribe and kindred. It is the kingdom of God on earth. Such a vision is proof either of sublime faith or folly. Folly it would be were it not that we have confidence, first of all, in the purpose of our Father. That confidence in the Eternal justifies the vision. The trend of the ages is toward its realization. We cannot prevent the tides, from rising and falling; we cannot change the course of the seasons; we cannot stop the planets in their orbits, but we could do so sooner than we could keep God from fulfilling His purpose. Then, too, we have confidence in the mightiest of all solvents —love. It is the miracle-worker of every age. In Zangwill's great play, "The Melting Pot," in response to the passionate assertion that in every land to which he has wandered or been driven-the malagamation of the Jew with other peoples has never been accomplished, he makes David respond: "You have tried hatred and failed; try love." We have not forgotten the apostolic formula, "Faith which worketh by love." The world-wide vision would be a colossal folly; were it not for this mightiest of all powers in the world. Moreover, the heroic achievements of those who have caught the vision and have toiled and sacrificed inspires firm confidence for the future. They who see the vision are not visionaries. There is a difference between them. There are idle dreams and dreams that prompt to noble endeavor. The visionary is impractical but among the world's most practical men have been those who have looked upon the splendid picture of a future golden age. They have toiled hard to make their dreams come true. The American Board, completing a century of activity and growth, owes its origin to the young seers of haysack fame. The men who compose the Laymen's Missionary Movement are intensely practical. How to get and equip and support the men who will go forth to preach and teach how to secure the funds necessary to support them from givers of large and small financial ability, are the practical problems they are taking hold of in an earnest, business-like way. No one need have any fear that interest in the Christian conquest of the world will lessen his sense of obligation to support the work in his own land and his own church. The truth is there is no real antagonism between home and foreign missions. The distinction between them is being obliterated. Foreign missions are at our very doors. Samuel J. Mills had the world-wide vision, but he was a faithful, intelligent worker in the home field. Our own land is but a segment of the great circle of the earth. He who looks afar from the mountain top will not fall to see the village at its base. The wish to win the world will spur one on to Christianize his own land that it may help in the world-conquest. Our thought to day in national politics, in manufacture, in commerce, in education, is on no less a scale than that of the earth. The inventor, the manufacturer, the thinker wants an open door in every country for his products. A good thing, a thing that adds materially to the joy of living, cannot be confined to any land. Telephones, engines, railroads, textbooks, the Bible, and the kingdom belong to the world. I want you all to see the world wide vision. I have no fear that it will lessen your interest in our own church. The people who pray and sacrifice for the redemption of the world are not the ones who neglect the work at home. Rather do they seek to make and to keep the church strong, that it may do its part in saving the world. No better surety could any pastor have that he will be supported in his work by his own people than the fact that they are devoted to the task of winning all nations to Christ. I want you to get the world-wide vision for your own sake. It will expand your thought, enlarge your heart, enrich your life. It is an education in the largest and noblest university in the world. One is brought into contact with whatever concerns humanity. Religion, civilization, art government, the oldest and the newest, all have their bearing upon the great problem and in your effort to contribute to its solution you will and yourselves growing in knowledge, in interest, in sympathy. You become citizens of the whole world. Let us then offer the prayer the Master has taught us. Thy kingdom come, with a resolute determination to do more than we have ever done to make the kingdom of the world the kingdom of Christ.
