LESSONS FROM THE COTTON CROP OF 1909 Bureau of Plant Industry Issues Important Bulletin. PLAN TO FIGHT BOLL WEEVIL Government Agricultural Department Has Approved Method For Growing Cotton Under Boll Weevil Infestation. Washington, D. C.—The season of 1909, while one of the worst we have ever known for the cotton crop in all but the Atlantic states, taught some valuable lessons. First—It demonstrated that a crop of cotton, under-heavy holl weevil infestation, could be made after July 1, provided the farmers pick up the punctured squares and work the field intensively. In fact, there were very few bolls on the cotton plants in Louisiana and Southwest Mississippi on July 1, 1909. The weather then became dry and warm, and such as followed the instructions of the government demonstration work made a fair crop of cotton, both on the alluvial bottoms and on the hills land, and the planters who failed to follow such instructions made very little. Louisiana has always had years of a short cotton crop, due to adverse weather conditions. The crop of 1905, though practically unaffected by the weevil, was only 511,738 bales, which is less than half the product of 1904. Owing to loss of labor and fear of the boll weevil, about 30 per cent less than normal acreage was planted to cotton in 1909, and when practically no cotton was made up to July 1st, such was the alarm that a large area of cotton was plowed up and planted to other crops. The amount plowed up or abandoned is estimated by good judges-at 40 per cent. But allow that it was 20 per cent, deducting from the probable crop in such a season, to-wit: 511,733 bales, the 30 per cent not planted and 20 per cent plowed up or abandoned, and the crop of Louisiana, without allowing anything for weevil damage, should have been about 236,574 bales. As far as can be 'ascertained the crop was about 270,000 bales. This clearly proves that the fright is more damaging than the weevil. The second item emphasized by the experience of 1909 is the importance of picking up and burning the punctured squares. There never had been any question but picking up the squares in the fore part of the season would check the weevils, but it was proven in 1909 that it was effective after the field was fully infested if rapid cultivation was continued. The third item of value demonstrated by the season of 1909 is the importance of having the land well drained so the crop can be worked as soon as the rain ceases. Under boll weevil conditions the heavy black lands and the poorly drained fields should be devoted to other crops, because intensive working of the crop is a necessity. There must be no weeds and no grass in the crop. Fourth—The past season has added its conclusive testimony in favor of the plan for making cotton under boll weevil infestation, which plan, approved by the United States department of agriculture, is as follows: 1. Destruction of the weevils in the fall by burning all rubbish and material in and about the field when might serve for hibernating quarters of the weevils, and breaking (plowing) the soil as deep as conditions will. 2. The shallow winter cultivation of the soil if no cover crop is used. 4. The planting of early maturing varieties of cotton. 5. The use of fertilizers. 6. Leaving more space between the rows, and on ordinary uplands having a greater distance between plants in the row than is usually allowed. 7. The use of the section harrow before and after planting and on the young cotton. 8. Intensive shallow cultivation. 9. Agitation of the stalks by means of brush attached to the cultivator. 10. Picking up and burning the squares that fall under weevil conditions, especially during the first 30 or 40 days of infestation. 11. Controlling the growth of the plant if excessively by deep and close cultivation while the plant is young. 12. Selecting the seed. 13. The rotation of crops and the use of legumes. It will be noted that the system, as outlined, has a two-fold object: (1) To reduce the number of weevils and (2) to aid early maturity. The foregoing methods may require modification to suit the soil and climate. Where there 2.500 Sheep Stolen. San Antonio, Texas—A. G. Anderson of Terrell county reports the theft of 2,500 sheep from his ranch, and rewards aggregating $1,000 have been posted for the arrest and conviction of the guilty party. The officials of the Orient and Santa Fe have been notified of the theft, as it was the supposition that it intended to ship the sheep out of the state. Mount Aetna Still Atcive Catania, Sicily.—Mount Actina exhibited new activity. A stream of lava has turned toward Cistora Regina, and has almost reached that village. The crops in the vicinity of Borrillo and Nicolosi haye been ruined. is too much food and a surplus of moisture available for cotton in any soil, common sense dictates that these conditions should not be increased by deep fall breakings. We, therefore, advise the following plan under boll weevil conditions on such lands: Burn all the cotton tsalks, and after the weevils have gone into winter quarters burn all the rubbish in and about the field as early in the fall as possible. In the spring, bed in the firm ground, giving more space between the rows. Prepare a good bed before planting and maintain ridge cultivation through the season. The under weevil conditions there is an excess of plant growth. Fifth—The lands must be well drained and no larger area planted than can be intensively worked. Sixth—All the supplies of food and forage must be raised at home, and can be on the lands not planted to cotton. Seventh—It is practically safe to make advances in boll weevil territory if the farmer follows government instructions. Eighth—There should be a, n rigid system of inspection to see that the government plan is followed. The great drouth and the intense heat in July and August last year throughout Texas and Oklahoma, accentuated the importance of deeper tillage and more thorough preparation of the soil. I ask eagery agent of the farmer's co-operative demonstration work and every farmer in the southern states to his best to make a banner crop of all farm staples in 1910.—From the Bureau of Plant Industry, by S. A Knapp, Special Agent in Charge. FIGHTING SOUTHERN LAW. Bonaparte Uses Murder Case to Test Agricultural Contract Acts. Washington, D. C. — Protesting against what he terms an attempt in some southern states to reduce the negro to captivity, Charles J. Bonaparte, formerly attorney general of the United States, filed a brief in the supreme court of the United States in behalf of Pink Franklin, a South Carolina colored man, who, on a charge of murder, is sentenced to be hanged. Franklin, under an "agricultural contract" to work for J. D. Thomas, in Orangeburg county, South Carolina, in 1907, quit before the contract expired. A statute had been passed in South Carolina making it a misdemeanor for a laborer to break such a contract if he had become indebted to his employer. A warrant was sworn out for Franklin's arretr. The constable, H. E. Valentine, in attempting to arrest the negro, went to the latter's house, entered and was killed. Franklin was convicted of murder. Mr. Bonaparte's brief attempts to show that the negro had a right to resist arrest and protect himself, family and domicile, because the statute on which the warrant was based had been held to be obnoxious to the state legislation, yolated the federal constitution and that any attempt to enforce the provision by the arrest of a person in the situation of Franklin constituted a crime against the United States under the laws forbidding peonage. BRIBE-GIVER RESIGNS. Senator Conger of New York Hands in Resignation. Albany, N. Y.-Rising to a question of personal privileges in the senate, Senator Benn Conger, after reading a statement in which he declared he fully realised that as a result of the Allies bribery charge his usefulness as a legislator was at an end, handed his resignation to Lieutenant Governor White, a duplicate of which he later placed with the secretary of state. With ushen face and trembling hand he read while his fellow senators listened with intense interest, and waven he had finished he sent his resignation to the desk and quickly left the chamber. MOBS DEMAND WAR. Anti-Peruvian Riots Occur in Guayquil, Ecuador. Guayquil, Ecuador—Serious anti-Peruvian riots occurred here. Mobs attacked the Peruvian legation at Quito and the consulate here, tearing down the Peruvian colors and dragging them in the dust. Many Peruvians were assaulted and their property, to the value of $20,000, destroyed. The rioters demanded war with Peru. Lima, Peru—Reports of the mob's action at Guayquil have caused intense indignation here, and, there is much war talk. It is declared that nothing except the friendly interference of the United States will prevent hostilities. CARTER FOUND GUILTY. Unwritten Law Plea Turned Down by Mississippi Jury. Aberdeen, Miss.—John T. Carter, whose trial on a charge of murder in connection with the killing of Dr. W. R. Wendel has been in progress for a week, was-declared guilty of manslaughter and was sentenced to serve twenty years in the state penitentiary, the maximum penalty. The defense set up by the counsel for Carter was chiefly the 'unwritten' law, although it was also contended that he acted in self-defense. The shooting was the result of a controversy between Carter and Wendel which occurred in the apartments of Mrs. Carter. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 1910. AFTER STOCK GAMBLERS. United States officials said Brokerage Concerns in Many Cities. Washington, D. C. — The government of the United States made its first but vigorous onslaught upon stock gambling, which, in scope, practically covers the country from the Missouri river to Atlantic coast. Brokers' offices in New York, Philadelphia, Jersey City, Baltimore, Cincinnati and St. Louis were räided simultaneously by special agents of the department of justice, who were armed with bench warrants issued by the supreme court of Columbia. Consipracy indictments, in which 29 persons are named—five of them said to be millionaires, and all interested in brokers' offices in large cities of the United States—were returned by the federal grand jury of the District of Columbia upon evidence which the agents of the department of justice had been gathering for more than a year. The indictments were withheld for one day on the request of Attorney General Wickersham, so that the department of justice detectives might make the raids simultaneously upon the places suspected of being "Bucket shops." The men indicted are said to be those financially, interested in the corporations known as E. S. Boggs & Co., which has offices in New York and Philadelphia; Price & Co., which has offices in Baltimore and New York, and the Standard Stock and Grain Dealers, which has offices in Jersey City, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and St. Louis. CRUELTY OF NIGHT RIDERS. Brownville, Ky.—After an all-night vigil at his cabin, 10 miles from Brownville, Sheriff Gillis Vincent, of this county, and a party of ten picked men, effected the capture of Jesse Anderson, who is charged with being the leader of the band of night riders which recently killed the 12-year-old son of Mrs. Dol Carroll and whipped two other members of the family. When the band broke into the Carroll home the boy who was shot attempted to run. When the bullet struck him he fell to the ground and began to cry. piteously for his mother and brother to come to him. Instead of permitting it, the band seized the 21-year-old son and the 18-year-old daughter and whipped them. Afterwards members of the raiders picked up the wounded child, brought him to the door and threw him on the bed, where he died. JAPANESE SPIES RELEASED They Were Freed by Order of Secretary Dickinson. Manila, P. I.—The two Japanese who were arrested for attempting to purchase photographs of the fortifications of Corregidor have been released upon orders from Secretary of War Dickinson. The civil authorities were discussing the prosecution of the men as spies when the secretary's order for their release was received. High Prices Make Women Riot. New York City—Five Hundred indignant women of the upper east side rioted when they found the price of meat had been substantially increased in the butcher shops in the vicinity. In an attempt of the women to rush the shop of a Second avenue butcher, a policeman and the butcher's helper were assaulted and painfully injured. It took a big force of reserves to disperse the excited housewives. Murder Charged to Wife and Children Berryville, Ark—Mrs. Ellas Shafer and her four children are in jail here charged with the murder of Mrs. Shafer's husband, near Blue Springs. It is charged that one of the children took Mrs. Shafer's gun out from underneath his pillow while he slept and killed him. The boy alleged to have done the shooting is said to have stated that his father threatened to kill the whole family. Freeze in Texas. Marfa, Texas. — Freezing weather was experienced throughout this section and apricots and other tender fruits were killed. In the El Paso valley farmers saved their fruit by burning fires in their orchards all night long. Neway Paragraphs. Mall orders for seats to the grand opera performances that are to be produced at the Atlanta Auditorium armory during the first week in May are pouring into the office of the treasurer of the Atlanta Music Festival in a steady stream. Reservations for individual performances will open on April 18. Seats may be bought at from $5 to $1 each, according to location. There is not a seat in the auditorium that is not desirable. Dr. James G. Cumming, director of the Pasteur institute of the University of Michigan, announced the discovery of a new method for the treatment of hydrophobia- The new treatment, Dr. Cumming says, eliminates many of the dangers attending the former methods and shortens the time of treatment by one week. Dr. Cumming uses a virus prepared from the spinal tissues of a rabid animal. This is injected into the attent. The virus is said to have been used in several cases recently with marked success. Memories of the cooking of his "old mammy" induced J. R. Bingham of Carrollton, Miss, to give $5,000 for founding a cooking school for negroes at Augusta, Ga. "The 'new negro can't cook'," says Mr. Bingham. BROWNSVILLE DECISION OFFICERS ARE CENSURED Court Says-That If Officers of Colored Regiment Had Performed Their Duty the Affray Would Not Have Occurred. Washington, D. C. — The military court of inquiry, during the last year, has been investigating the shooting of Brownville, Texas, finds, that the evidence clearly sustains the charges that the shooting was done by soldiers of the twenty-fifth infantry, colored. The court is also of opinion that if the officers of the regiment had performed their respective duties immediately prior to the shooting the affray would not have occurred. Furthermore, if the officers had performed their duties immediately after the shooting, some of the guilty men would have been discovered. Fourteen men belonging to the twenty-fifth infantry are declared eligible for reenlistment. According to the act creating the board of inquiry, the findings are final and cannot be reviewed by any one. The court consists of Lieutenant General S. B. M. Young, Major General J. P. Sanger, Brigadier General Theodore Schwan, Brigadier General Butler D. Price, Brigadier General John M. Wilson and Captain Charles Howland, twenty-first infantry, recorder. INDIANS ARE INCREASING. Statistics Indicate More Births Than Deaths Among Indians. Washington, D. C.-Tae Indian has at least paused in his passing from the face of the earth, if the statistics concerning births and deaths among about one-third of the Indian population in the United States, which have just been compiled by the bureau of Indian affairs, can be accepted as a criterion of the general condition of the red race. During the fiscal year 1909 there were 3,395 births and 3,178 deaths among 101,717 Indians. This showed a birth rate per thousand of 33.4, as compared with 31.2 deaths. An official said that the figures pointed to an improvement in the general situation, in that the red man had not lost any ground from the standpoint of numbers, as compared with a decrease in the past, which has reduced the Indian population to its present relatively small figure. It was estimated there were 300,545 Indians in the United States, exclusive of Alaska, during the last fiscal year. BANKERS PAID GRAFT. "Men Higher Up" Arrested in the City of Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Pa.—The climax promised in the Pittsburg graft exposures came, as promised, with the presentment by the grand jury of a report in which is recommended the indictment of Frank N. Hofstot, president of the Pressed Steel Car Company, and one of the most prominent business men in the country. Simultaneously, in open court, came a plea of Emil Winter, president of the Workingman's Savings and Trust Company, that he had no defense to make to the charge that he gave a $20,000 bribe to former Councilman Morris Elinstein. SCHOOL. CHILDREN DRUNK. Drunken Children Stagger in the Schools of New York. Philadelphia, Pa.-That the number of school children in New York City who appeared "under the influence of beer and wine was startling" and that "almost every school in the city furnished examples of children suffering from the effects of alcohol," was declared by Dr. McNicholl, surgeon of the Red Cross Hospital of New York, in a paper read before the American Society for the study of alcohol and other drug narcotics. PATTEN LOST $500,000. Cotton Operator Hit Hard by Recent Slump. Chicago, Ill.—The latest slump in cotton has cost James A. Patten something like $500,000—possible more—according to reports heard about brokerage houses. The heavy rains in the south and a reported combine of Liverpool and New York speculators against the Patten crowd were credited with bringing about the broker's losses. Mr. Patten's holding of cotton is estimated at 400,000 bales. CLEVELAND-MONUMENT. A Simple Monument Erected to Mr. Cleveland's Memory. Princeton, N. J.—With no mention in the inscription of the fact that he was at one time president of the United States, but reading merely: "Groven Cleveland, born Caldwell, N. J. March 18, 1837, died Princeton, N. J., Jyne 24, 1908," a monument to the memory of Ex-Prudent Grover Cleveland, was completed on his grave in the Princeton cemetery. Beside it, at the same time, was placed a marble slab to mark the grave of Ruth Cleveland, his daughter, it, too, bears a simple inscription. Both stones were erected at the direction of Mrs. Cleveland. Lynchburg, Va—One of the biggest pieces of railroad improvement ever attempted is now nearing completion here—the building by the Southern Railway company of a seven-mile double track line through this mountain-capping city to attain which it was necessary to dig a tunnel thirteen hundred feet long, largely through solid rock, and construct a steel bridge eighteen hundred and sixty feet in length and towering one hundred and fifty feet above the waters of the James river. This work, which means an entire change of the main line of the Southern from Winesap, north of this city, to Durmid on the south, will involve an expenditure of two million dollars and will include, besides the digging of the tunnel, the building of the bridge, and the heavy grading necessary, the erection of a handsome new passenger station and the building of a viaduct to span the railway tracks at Fifth street, one of the most important thoroughfares of the city. The completion of this notable piece of work will result in better service for every point on the Southern system. At the present time every freight and passenger train on the main line of the Southern, north and south bound, has to climb a heavy grade going out of Lynchburg on account of the drop practically to the rivers edge to cross the bridge now in use. When the new line is completed trains will pass through Lynchburg without having to climb a grade exceeding forty feet per mile, which will greatly facilitate the moving of the freight on the main line and hence benefit every point on the lines of the Southern railway. It is confidently expected that all of this work will be completed in time for the use of trains by October 1st. LATE NEWS NOTES. General. It cost Clifford W. Hartridge, attorney for Harry K. Thaw, in Thaw's first trial, for the killing of Stanford White, more than $100 to recover a dog whip, with which it is alleged Thaw beat various girls, so the lawyer testified in his suit against Thaw's mother for $32,000 for his services. The money, he said, was given to a woman who had possession of the whip. Because his discharge from the army shows that he was one of the two men who captured Jefferson Davis in Savannah, Ga., forty-five years ago, John Wolen, aged seventy, was released from the Seattle, Wash., jail on suspended sentences. Wolen was convicted of "bootlegging." His discharge shows that he served in Company F, seventh Pennsylvania calvary, during the war. Governor Stubbs of Kansas in a Chicago speech defended state-wide prohibition as practical in his state. He said that as a result people in Kansas were now better clothed, better fed and have finer homes, that they have bigger families and bigger bank accounts. They had thus, in his opinion, refuted the cry the abolition of the saloon would mean business stagnation. Announcement is made by the officers of the Atlanta Music Festival association that beautiful-Miss Geraldine Farrar, America's own famous soprano, has voluntarily consented to sing at the federal prison during her visit to Atlanta the first week in May. Several others of the world's famous artists of the Metropolitan Opera company, including Scotti, the great baritone, and Oliva Fremstad, the Swedish soprano, have also expressed a willingness to sing for the unfortunate-pirisoners, and the inmates of the government pelintentiary at Atlanta are promised the most wonderful musical treat that ever brought happiness and pleasure within a prison's cheerless walls. Washington So-called "recovery" houses, which obtain spirits by soaking empty barrels, have been called by the internal revenue bureau to show cause why they should not be prohibited from continuing this practice. There are about thirty such houses in the country, and the estimate is made that they obtain at least two gallons of spirits from each barrel by the soaking process, in consequence of which the government loses more or less revenue. As an author, Uncle Sam is a huge success. The agricultural department is being flooded by inquiries for the government cook book, a compilation of receipts made necessary on account of the high cost of living. The first issue of cook books comprised five thousand copies. These have been exhausted and there are more than thirty thousand requests for more books. Secretary Wilson is highly pleased with the success of the book compiled under the direction of his department. Former Vice President Fairbanks declined the offer extended to him by President Taft to act as a special envoy of the United States to Buenos Aires next month on the occasion of the centenary celebration to be held there. General Leonard Wood, who is soon to become chief of staff of the army, has now been designated. Illness and his recent return from such extensive travels, influenced Mr. Fairbanks in his decision. State elections are not to be influenced by political appointments made from the white house, if President Taft can prevent it. He showed this when he refused to decide a controversy which will have some influence on the coming elections in West Virginia. Ex-President Will Not Be Received at the Vatican. ROOSEVELTWOULD NOT BE LIMITED Mr. Roosevelt Told Church Officials He Would Not Be Dictated to By the Pope and Spoke Plainly About Religious Intolerance. Rome, Italy—The audience which, it was believed, ex-President Roosevelt would have with the pope, will not occur, owing to conditions which the vatican has imposed, and which Mr. Roosevelt refuses to accept. Although the definite negotiations relative to the audience ended before Mr. Roosevelt left Egypt, the announcement was withheld until after Mr. Roosevelt reached Rome at the solicitation of his American Catholic friends here, who believed that in the meantime the vatican might change its attitude. One of the former president's American friends, who had been with him in Egypt, came to Rome, without, however, any authorization from Mr. Roosevelt, and interceded with Cardinal Merry Del Val, the papal secretary, in an endeavor to avoid a situation, which, as it now stands, has caused a real sensation in Rome, although it was not entirely unexpected. But his efforts were unavailing. While at Gondokoro in February last Mr. Roosevelt wrote to Ambassador Leishman, saying that he would be glad of the honor of an audience with King Victor Emmanuel and the pope. The audience with the king was promptly arranged. Before an arrangement could be reached relative to an audience with the pope, several telegrams were passed, and the negotiations were ended by Mr. Roosevelt refusing in any way to be limited as to his conduct, and announcing that an audience with the pope, under the circumstances, was now impossible. As a matter of fact, Mr. Roosevelt while declining to accept any conditions in connection with his audiences with the pope, had neither directly nor indirectly, before, during, or after the negotiations, made or considered any engagement in Rome except those of an official character, and he actually entered Rome with but two definite engagements, the audience with the king and the dinner to be given in his honor by the municipality. Mr. Roosevelt \*particularly desires that the incident shall be regarded by his friends, both Catholic and Protestant in America, as personal, and that it shall not give rise to an acrimonious controversy." It appears that it was John Callan O'Loughlin, who was assistant secretary of state in 1909, and a great personal friend of Mr. Roosevelt, who came to Rome ahead of the Roosevelt party and attempted to intercede with Cardinal Merry Del Val. The following semi-official version of what transpired at that interview has been furnished by a vatican authority: Cardinal Merry Del Val said to Mr. O'Loughlin: "Can you guarantee that Mr. Roosevelt will not visit the Methodists here?" Mr. O'Loughlin replied: "I cannot. Indeed, I believe that Mr. Roosevelt is just the man to go there. He will do as he pleases." "It is indefensible," said the papal secretary, "for any person to be asked to be received by a great personage whose feelings he would be unwilling to respect." Cardinal Merry Del Val also remarked: "It is not in any sense a question of religion. Mr. Roosevelt might have gone to an Episcopallar, a Presbyterian or any other church, except the Methodist, and delivered an address there, and he, would have been received by the pope, even on the same day. But h could not be received when it was suspected that after the audience he intended to go to the Methodist Church in Rome, which is carrying on a most offensive campaign of calumny and detraction against the pontiff." The papal secretary even recognized Mr. Roosevelt's right to claim the privilege of visiting the Methodists the day after the audience on condition that he, Merry Del Val, receive private assurances that he would not actually do so. The failure to arrange an audience between ex-President Roosevelt and the pope has created a tremendous stir here, as well as abroad, for overshadowing the importance of the incident in which ex-Vice President Fairbanks was a principal. DARING BANK ROBBERY. Deeds of Jesse James Recalled by the Rald on Pittsburgh Bank. Pittsburgh, Pa.—A bank robbery with wild west features was pulled off by four desperadoes in McKee's Rocks with the slaying of two men and the shooting of another. The robbers themselves, covering their escape with volleys of revolver shots, got safely away, with at least $4,000 in cash from the offices of the Vctor Banking Company. Samuel Friedman, general manager of the company, was killed; his assistant, Isaac Schwartz, who was dangerously wounded in the head, died on the operating table, and Robert King, a passer-by, was seriously shot, It was the most picturesque cottage that fancy could depict; a cottage with pointed gables, and deep bay windows, and broad verandas—such as wealthy New Yorkers dwell in for the few summer weeks when Fifth avenue is a wilderness and the other fashionable resorts in that locality are deserted. Mrs. Julian Raymond, in a ravishing toilet of violet silk and old point lace, eat out on the veranda, pouring over a novel. Mr. Harold Coverdale, her brother, yawned, threw his weed over the rail of the poren and contemplated the tips of his well shod feet. "It's a deuce of a bore, this summer cottage business," he said, at last. "How can you be so ungrateful, Harold," she remonstrated, "when we've taken the cottage and moved out here solely for your advantage?" "Come," said Mr. Coverdale, laughing, "that's expecting a follow to believe a little too much." "Well, what else was it for?" "To be near Long Branch and the fashionable world, to be sure." "Exactly, and in order that you may make a desirable match, Harold—for really you must do something for yourself now, Mr. Raymond declares he won't lend you another copper." "But you'll let me have fifty or so; Alice—there's a darling!" "I can't, Harold," persisted the sister, with an elevation of her eyebrows. "I haven't a cent to spare; Mr. Raymond keeps me so dreadfully short." "That's all you have gained by marrying money," sneered Harold, "and yet you expect me to do the same." "A man is different you know," said the millionaire's wife. "If once you marry an heirshe you can do what you please with your money." "Do you refer to Mrs. Colby?" "I refer to Mrs. Colby." Mr. Coverdale made a slight grimace. "I hear she is an ugly old crow," said he, with a motion of the mouth as if he had been taking some disagreeable medicine. "Then you're very much mistaken," said Mrs. Raymond, with something like animation. "She's not twenty-five yet, and quite handsome, and she owns all the Colby estates in her own right; and if you don't marry her, after all the pains I've taken to invite her here, you'll be the most ungrateful fellow I ever heard of." "But suppose she won't marry me?" "There is no danger of that," said Mrs. Raymond, smiling and shrugging her pretty shoulders as she looked up at her tall, handsome brother, who stood leaning his perfect head against the pillar of the porch. "Not if you play your cards well, Harold." Mr. Cloverdale laughed and made a mock obesience. "Much obliged to you, ma'am. And when, may I ask, do you expect this money-bagged widow to condescend to come to a Long Branch cottage?" "The day after to-morrow." "By train or boat?" "By boat. You'll have to go, down to the landing to meet her—and that, reminds me, Harold." "Of something disagreeable, I am sure!" "Well, no. it needn't be; only I want you to go down to the East End this afternoon, and bring up the new housekeeper that I advertised for. The intelligence office people telegraphed that she would be up tbls afternoon, and I declare I had nearly forgotten it." "Thank you. I don't particularly care about driving up the Shore Drive with a fat red-checked damsel at my side and two:or three handboxes behind." "What nonsense, Harold! She is no common servant. She is a very respectable woman who has seen better days." "It is a wonderful and unaccountable fact that they all have," sighed Mr. Coverdale. "However, I am at your service, Alice—what must be, must be—and I'll borrow Hal's wagonette for the occasion. One can stow away the everlasting bandboxes to the best advantage in that, you know. I'll go down now and stop at the hotel and play a game of billiards with the boys before the train will be in." "Dear, dear!" murmured Mrs. Raymond to herself, as her eyes followed the stately, well-built figure down the winding path that led to the Shore Drive. "How I do wish he was established in life! He's always borrowing money and getting into debt, and if Mr. Raymoud should ever hear of that forged check on the bank—" But there was no pitying pang in her heart for her beautiful young schoolmate, whose life she was willing to sacrifice on the altar of her brother's, selfish and unprincipled greed? Not one. Mrs. Julian Raymond was merely a fashionable woman, and fashion has no soul. And while Mrs. Raymond, glanced over the pages of her French novel, and Mr. Coverdale lost more money than he could well afford in the billiard room of the hotel, the boat was steadily gaining the dock; and Mrs. Colby, in her neat, plain traveling dress, and the barege veil she wore to protect her eyes from the glaring sun, looked out at the grand outline of the beautiful bluffs and fast approaching shore, and smiled to think how completely she should take Alice Coverdale Raymond by surprise.41 "She don't expect me until Wednesday," said Mrs. Colby to herself. "What fun it will be!" Her dark eyes sparkled mischievously beneath her veil at the idea: "I wonder," she thought, unconsciously following the thread of her own musings, "If Alice's brother is really so perfect and chivalrous? There are few of that type left in the world, and if I should meet my ideal out here among the waves, it would be a life romance." "Boat in already? You don't say sol," she made good time, "cried Mr. Coverdale; running down the steps of the hotel, whining the cigar ashes from his heavy mustache at the same moment. "Come on, Hall!" The passengers were piling into the great four-hurricane stages which awaited the boat; but Mr. Coverdale settled all, perplexities by calling out: "Any one here for the Locust Cottage: Mrs. Julian Raymond's." Mrs. Colby glanced up in 'surprise.' Could it be possible that Alice h: I fathomed her little scheme? "Size," hesitated she; "Iam." "Come on; then, and don't stray staring all day!" said Mr. Coverdri with the scant allowance of courtry he deemed sufficient for a working woman. She stepped in the conveance unaided. "All right? he impatiently shouted, pulling the reins. "Now, Hal, you needn't throw away your cigar," as his companion glanced doubtfully at the velled passenger, "She don't mind a little smoke, do you. Mrs. What dye call yourself?" Mrs. Colby sat in a maze. Was she dreaming, or had this strange charloteer gone mad? "Oh, you needn't be surprised," said Mr. Coverdri, checking a hicough. "I'm Mrs. Julian Raymond's brother. She send me to meet you." "I am much obliged, I am sure," faltered Mrs. Colby; "but——" "And I hope you'll do your best to keep your situation," went on Mr. Coverdalar, "for my sister has had a deuce of a time with these intelligence people." A comprehensive flash came into Mrs. Colby's eyes. Mrs. Julian Raymond's brother evidently mistook her for a servant, coming up in search of a place. "But——" she began hurriedly. It was no use. Her feeble attempts at explanation were drowned in the rattling of the wagonette wheels as Mr. Coverdalar touched up the spirited horses. "Get up, Maud! Whon, Nigger! Not a bad team of yours, Hal. I'll buy them of you at your own price when I'm married to the rich widow." "What rich widow?" asked Hal, lazily puffing away at his fragrant weed. Mrs. Colby held her breath. "Don't you know? Haven't you heard? But, honor bright, now, you're not to cut in and spoil my chances. It's one of Alice's old school friends—Coalbin, or Coldswain, or some such name—as rich as an Astor, who's coming up from New Haven day after to-morrow. Congratulate me!" "What! 'Already?" "It's as good as done. What's the old proverb? 'I came, I saw, I conquered!' Oh, there's not much doubt in the case. I flatter myself!" "Perhaps you won't fancy her." "She is not of much consequence, one way or the other; it's her money I mean to make love to—Ha! ha! ha!" Then the conversation drifted off upon the subject of the races. Mrs. Julian Raymond was on the plaza, when they drove up to the door, in one of her ravishing toilets. "Hello, Al!" cried out her brother, checking the horses with a sudden jerk. "Here's your housekeeper." "Why, she's been here these two hours!" said Mrs. Raymond, opening wide her wondrous eyes. "She came by way of the train. Who on earth have you got there?" "Only me," said Mrs. Colby, springing out of the wagonette and throwing back her veil, while a mischievous smile played around her pretty ilps. "Kiss me, Alice. I hope you are agreeably surprised." Mrs. Julian Raymond sprang forward to embrace her schoolmate. "Dearest Viola, I am so pleased! And you, naughty Harold," shaking her chubby fist at her brother, "are you in the plot, too?" No; Mr. Coverdale was certainly not in the plot, as his dropped under jaw, staring eyes and sheepish countance plainly denoted as he bolted out of the room, unable longer to endure the sarcastic glitter of Mrs. Colby's eyes. "Hal," cried he to his friend, "hold on! Take me down to the hotel with you!" "What for?" "I've done it—I've ruined myself!" "Are, you crazy?" demanded Hal. "No; but one would think I was! That—that woman" "Well!" "She wasn't a servant at all; she was the rich widow—Mrs. Colby herself!" "Hal whistled and looked shocked. "Yes," said he, "you have done it! There can be no doubt on that subject. Come with me." So the two men drove away. Mrs. Colby stayed a couple of weeks at the cottage with her old schoolmate K. Mr. Coyerdale haver showed himself in all this time, and the rich widow knew that she had escaped the snare of a fortune hunter. —Waverley.

RING DONG GLANG DONG BLAM SCHOOL DONG DING Pinehurst AN APPEAL TO PUBLIC-SPIRITED PERSONS FOR ASSISTANCE IN CORRECTING SOME ERRONEOUS POPULAR OPINIONS. THE UNITED STATES CENSUS, APRIL 15, 1910. The enumeration of the population during a census of the United States always presents numerous difficulties; chilieny, the apprehension of a large element that their answers to the enumerators' questions will cause increased taxation, legal entanglements, or injurious consequences to their persons and property. In order to quiet such unfounded fears, which would, unless removed, materially affect the coming census, April 15, next, the Census Bureau has prepared the subjoined brief statement relative to the decennial census, its origin, purpose, and uses. It should furnish complete assurance to those concerned that information given to the enumerators is hold by the Census Bureau in the strictest confidence, with reference to the identity of the informants, as required by the policy of the Bureau and commanded by the law of the United States. It is, therefore, earnestly hoped that Clergymen, Priests, Physicians, School-Teachers, Employers, and other public-spirited citizens who come in contact with large numbers of people will co-operate with the Census Bureau by telling persons who are believed to entertain erroneous opinions of the census the real facts, urging them to give full replies to the enumerators. Teachers are particularly requested to speak of the census to the school children and ask them to tell their parents about it. For further particulars, or such other printed census information as there is on the subject, please address the Supervisor of your Census District. Very truly, E.

Director: Yale Students Will Build Their Own Machines and Take Flights. New Haven, Conn.—Yale formed an aero club, and voted to begin at once to build aeroplanes. About forty undergraduates joined the organization and pledged themselves to start work constructing machines. The old boathouse at Lake Whitney will be used as the work house. Several will make flights before Commencement. Max Van Hoegen, president of the club, has served in the German army, aero-corps and assisted Count Zeppelin in the latter's trips last year. FOR THE FARMER AND STOCKMAN Draft horses are getting so high in price that lots of the big three-year-olds are finding their way to the cities as four-year-olds, after having a few of their colt teeth knocked out. I know one instance where a horse two years and six months old is on a city dray. He is a big fellow, it is true, but not old enough to stand the service.—Epistomist. Mutton Breeds Pay. Farmers who keep mutton breeds of sheep do not complain that sheep do not pay. It is the farmer who makes a specialty of wool, and who sends to market sheep no larger than lambs, who does not find profit in sheep. Young lambs alone give good profits, and often bring more in the market than matured sheep and its wool, but such lambs are of the quick-maturing and excellent mutton breeds.-Epitomist. Intensive Live Stock Farming. Writing of his observations of Japan farming, Professor King, of Wisconsin, says: "According to official statistics published in 1908, Japan has in its main islands, exclusive of Formosa and Karafuto, a population of 48,542,736, and the area of its cultivated fields is 21,321 square miles. This is 2277 people to the square mile, and besides these there are also maintained 2,600,000 cattle and horses, nearly all of which are laboring animals, giving a population of 142 people and seven horses and cattle to each forty acres of cultivated field, a condition sufficiently different from our most fully occupied forty-acre farm to make the business men among us stop and do some thinking. The old farmer who permitted me to hold his plow told my interpreter that there were twelve in his family, and that he owned and was cultivating fifteen mow of land, which is two and one-half a cow, and that besides his team—a cow and a small donkey—he usually fed two pigs. This is at the rate of 192 people, sixteen cows, sixteen donkeys and thirty-two pigs on a forty-acre farm, and a population density of 3072 people, 250 cows, 256 donkeys, 512 swine per square mile." Number of Cows For a Silo. A question that is quite commonly asked is: "Would it pay to build a silo for eight or ten cows?" One man writes that he has only twenty-three acres of land and is thinking of putting up a silo for five cows. Another that he has forty acres of land, and that he must do very good farming to grow the necessary feed thereon for ten cows, besides the feed that must be grown for the span of horses which he keeps to do the work. Ten cows is a rather small number to go to the expense of putting up a silo for—five is even worse. It would perhaps be advisable only where the cows are extra good and very high prices are received for the product, unless the principal coarse feed is corn fodder. Then one would find it profitable to put up a silo for this number. However, on this same amount of land it would be possible to keep many more cows with the use of the silo. Ten acres of good corn fodder will furnish fifteen cows the principal part of their roughage for six months, or during the heavy feeding season, and there would be enough left over to give them all the silage they would need during the balance of the year, which would make it possible to keep them on a very small pasture. If ten cows are carried on a forty-acre farm without a silo it is safe to presume that fifteen can easily be carried on the same amount of land by its use.—Practical Farmer. Floors of Poultry Houses. The floor-of a poultry house is a subject that is very interesting to all poultry raisers and is also one that is attracting more attention now than formerly, says American Poultry Advocator. Your variety of floor depends wholly upon the location of your building. U. R. Fishel says: "Every house on Fishelton" is provided with pine flooring. Cement floors are a failure, while earth floors are a nuisance. Nothing can equal the pine floor covered with straw for the birds to work in." Mr. Fishel's idea of poultry house floors is based entirely on the conditions surrounding his houses. He must have some other floor than an earth one, na, his location is a very damo one. E.B. Thompson, of Amenla, N. Y., uses nothing but earth floors, as he is on an upland where board or cement floors are unnecessary. So, therefore, one man says to use cement floors, another says to use boards as cement is too cold, while still another says that neither boards nor cement are of any use, but to use nothing but earth for floors. Personally, I have used all three and find that a cement floor, covered over with six or seven inches of fine loam, is an ideal floor. The rats bored through the wooden floor, the water settled in miniature lakes on the earth floor, but a cement floor is a barrier to rats, and while it will collect moisture, yet the earth and litter offset all of its faults. Improper floors are the causes of many diseases with fowls. In your brooder house, if it has a cement floor, be sure and have it covered with sand and chaff, as the hard' cement is very injurious to the small chicks' bills. A clear cement or wooden floor is a nuisance, and, of course, all practical poultrymen keep their floors covered with chaff from six to ten inches deep. The subject of proper floors is one demanding considerable attention, if one wants his fowls to do well. So therefore, a large amount of practical common sense is what is needed and if your first floor isn't, in your mind, the proper one, change and soon you will find what is best in your locality. How to Manage the Horse. I see by the different methods that people use in familiarizing their horses with interurban cars, automobiles and other road "boogers," that many of them very much underestimate the intelligence of the horse. I saw a man about seventy years old drive his horse up to a telephone pole and jump out and get a hitch rein and tie his horse as quick as if he intended to head off a jack rabbit. I wondered what he was going to do so suddenly. Just then a car came by, the horse scared at it a little. He unhitched it and went on. That was a new way to me, but it was better than getting on the side away from the car and trying to hold him by the rein between you and the car. I saw a young man and his girl driving a nice rig along by the track, and as they met the car the horse shied and nearly threw the buggy over and the young man drew the whip and gave him a cut or two with it, before the horse knew whether it was the car hit him or the boy. Then, I thought the next one he meets the horse ought to throw him out. I was standing on the road talking to a man nearly eighty years old. He was in a two-horse wagon with his team. He looked up and saw a car coming and said to me: "Stand between my team and the car. You needn't take hold of them, but just stand between them and the car." I did so, and they scarcely noticed the car. He had no doubt noticed that horses were not nearly so afraid of things that you yourself didn't seem to be afraid of. Horses seem often to scare and be afraid of things to scare their drivers. By all means never scare your horse by scaring at your horse. If you have confidence in your horse and can make him see you are not afraid of the thing he is scaring at, few of them will scare. A horse is a good "bluffer." He will often scare at things he is not afraid of. They can tell by the tone of your voice whether you are scared or not, and if you humor their whims they will never learn. Teach them to not be afraid by not hurting them when they are, but by showing them there is no danger—John G. Holt, in the Indiana Farmer. ```markdown ``` Farm Notes. Wheat' is a fine morning food. Warm it in cold weather. Boil some of the small potatoes, mash them and feed them to the hens. They make eggs fast. Eggs of uniform size will sell more readily than those that include both large and small ones. Never feed moldy food of any kind to a hen. That's the way a good deal of sickness comes to the poultry yard. When you are laying in your grain for winter feed, don't forget to put in a nice lot of oats. You cannot find any better feed, no matter where you go. Hens are like folks, about all wanting the highest places. They will quarrel over them sure; but put them all on a level and you will fix them all right. It is all right to light rats and all the rest of the enemies that come to the lover of poultry, but don't forget that the greatest enemy of all, and the one that is the hardest to lick out is neglect and carelessness. We are apt to fight that last, of all, when the truth is we ought to begin there first. —From "Points. For the Poultry Lover," in the Farm and Fireside. English "Boots" For America: The export of boots from Leicester to the United States is the subject of a report by the American consul at Nottingham, who describes the departure as "a novelty in the export trade of that district." The last shipment comprised over 1000 pairs, valued at about 2500. The shipments are said to be the result of the lowered duty in the United States tariff law, and the consul quotes a statement that the new trade affords "gratifying proof that there are British manufacturers who can beat, in point of style and price, the best that comes to us from across the 'herring pond.'" — London Daily Mail.

APRIL 9, 1910 WHILE the registration books are closed for participation in the State election, yet it will be reopened shortly for registration for the congressional election in November and the city election next January. Those already registered need not register again for these elections. The Democrats of Maryland being defeated in their attempt to constitutionally disfranchise the Negro, have taken another step to deprive them of voting privileges in State and municipal elections. The legislature being democratic the law will be enacted, but undoubtedly it will be held up in the courts where it will be shown that it is a case of flagrant class legislation. THE Browsville case has been decided again. As before the decision is against the soldiers. Only about fourteen of them were recommended for reinstatement. Attorney Marshall who represented the soldiers became convinced that the decision would be against them, especially on account of the alleged attitude of the recorder of the court. Mr. Marshall under the circumstances refrained from making an argument. CHATHAM county has 526 colored voters on the registration list. Comparing with former years, and considering the recent disfranchisement law, this is a fair showing. While for the reasons given it is a fair showing, yet with our large population we should have a larger tax paying and voters' list. The colored young men should take a pride in this matter by paying their tax and register in order to maintain their franchise. NEARLY every southern state has a contract law for laborers which-means a class of servitude for colored persons. On account of this law much hardship has been entailed upon many of our people. This law is the cause of former Attorney-General Chas. J. Bonaparte appearing before the United States Supreme Court in behalf of "Pink" Franklin, a colored man, charged with murder in South Carolina and sentenced to be hung. Mr. Bonaparte, says: "The South Carolina act, under which it was attempted to reduce the plaintiff in error to captivity, belongs to a class of statutes passed in several Southern states intended to enable land owners to compel specific performance of contracts for personal service on the part of agricultural laborers and to this end making it a crime for such laborers to leave the service of their employers if they shall become indebted to the latter. "The poverty and improvidence of such laborers in these states usually cause them to need and request advances from the land owners during the season when there is little demand for their labor and the effect of these statutes is to deprive this particular class of citizens of their freedom of contract with respect to labor as a consequence of this indebtedness. "If these poor people are prohibited, under the penalty of death to defend their constitutional rights when violently invaded in remote and isolated communities, in view of their ignorance, friendliness and poverty, it is little better than a mockery to tell them that judges are ready and courts are open to release them from unlawful restraint."

The verdict, which was against Daniel M. Brady, a manufacturer, was given by a jury in the supreme court here and derived interest from the fact that on a former trial before Justice Dugro, the court, in setting aside a verdict of $2,500 as excessive, laid down the dictum that a colored man could not suffer shame to the extent as a white man as the result of false arrest. In charging the jury in the present trial Justice McCall expressed an opinion diametrically opposite. "The tribunal of justice has nothing to do with the color of a man's skin," the court charged, "therefore, it is your duty to return a verdict on the evidence without considering in any way the race or color of this defendant."—New York dispatch. Colored Enumerators. The following colored enumerators have been commissioned for work in this County: Misses Hattie H. Hardwick, Adeline C. Spring, Rosa L. Ashton, Bertha D. Williams, Dell V. Stoney, Sarah O. Lee, Clifford S. Brown, Marion L. Hunter, Mrs. Frances A. Merchison; Mrs. Alethia E. Armstrong; Messrs, J. F. Ford, Ed. H. Burke, D. J. Scott, M. J. Hadley, Thomas Taylor, J. W. Coates, J. M. Washington, Ira S. Bryant, H. D. Brown, R. F. Gibson. Points Regarding The Census. The census begin April 15 and must be completed in two weeks in cities and in thirty days in all other areas. The enumerators will wear a badge inscribed "United States Census, 1910." The law requires every adult person to furnish the prescribed information, but also provides that it shall be treated confidentially, so that no injury can come to any person from answering the questions. The President has issued a proclamation, calling on all citizens to cooperate with the Census and assuring them that it has nothing to do with taxation, army or jury service, compulsory school attendance, regulation of immigration, or enforcement of any law, and that no one can be injured' by answering the inquiries. It is of the utmost importance that the census of population and agriculture in this state be complete and correct. Therefore every person should promptly, accurately, and completely answer the Census questions asked by the enumerators. St. Mary's Dots Spring has come and everything around St Mary's is taking on new life. Even the gnats are quite industrious. The Easter exercises on Sunday last were well attended at the A M E C and M E C in the afternoon. Quite an interesting program was rendered at Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church at 7:30 p.m. The children did well under the leadership of Mrs. I Campbell, Misses Edith Foreman, Daisy Holendorf, with our very modest Mrs. M L King at organ. Mrs. Elizabeth Moody of st. Water Branch is still sick. Hope ever long, she'll be restored to us. After a week's illness, we are glad to hear of Mrs. Rebecca Williams being up again. We are glad to see Mrs. Grace-McNeal out again after a short illness. Miss Daisy Holendorf has gone to Savannah to visit relatives and friends. We wish her a pleasant stay while in the Forest City. Mrs. Minus Clarke formerly of St. Mary's is here on a visit. Mr. and Mrs John Perry of Fernan dina, Fla., is here to visit their aunt, Mrs E Moody. Mr. and Mrs. P C Kelly and Mr. Dan Kelly were called suddenly to the bedside of their mother, Mrs. sandy Kelly of Jefferson, Ga., who is seriously ill. We hope for her a speedy recovery. The work of the census taker of our district will be heavier on his arrival, caused by the arrival of two young ladies in town. One at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Kelly the other at the home of Mr. and Mrs. P C Johnson, both mothers and daughters are doing well. Come some more Mr Stork.

East Broad and Gaston streets The celebration of last Sunday was one of the grandest and most beautiful events that ever occurred in our church. It was the Feast of St. Benedict the Moor, the new Patron of the little church. St. Benedict is the special Patron of the colored Catholics; he was a Negro himself and also a poor lay brother; he was elected by his fellow monks as Superior of a great Franciscan Convent, where he died in odor of sanctity. The Catholic church has placed him on the list of her canonized saints, and the Holy Father has appointed him as the Patron Saint of our church. For the first time his feast was celebrated last Sunday with all the splendor of the Catholic ritual. Right Rev. Bishop Kelly sang Pontifical High Mass in the morning, and was assisted by 7 priests and a little army for altar boys; the congregation was very followed with rapt attention all the grand ceremonies of a Pontifical High Mass. The good Bishop also addressed a few touching and fatherly words to the people and expressed his happiness to be present in St. Benedict's Church on the evening Father Schadewell, rector of the Cathedral preached a beautiful sermon on the life of St. Benedict the Moor, and applied the practical lessons of that noble life to the conditions of our modern civilization. Celebrations like that of last Sunday should leave an interesting impression on those who witness them. On March 30, St. Benedict died at the Home, after an illness of three days. She was the last colored nun in our city, as the great communities of colored nuns have their chief institution at Baltimore and at New Orleans. Sister Francis was a saintly soul, entirely devoted to the orphans in St. Francis Home. Her life of abnegation and charity was unknown to the outside world but it was known to the Divine Master, who has certainly given her a great reward. A beautiful funeral was given to the remains of the humble Franciscan Sister; six priests officiated and sang the impressive chant for the dead. She was interred in the Catholic cemetery near Sister Mary Bemadette, who died two months ago. The little orphans miss her.

Many of her white friends attended the funeral and showed pathetic signs of deep regret for her demise. The pastor paid a death tribute to her beautiful christian life, in his sermon. In the death of Sister Clark the church has lost a faithful member, one who knew her duty and did it, even in her last hours, she was stricken. We nourish our loss but rejoices to know her gain.

Deacon John Marsh led the hymn, "Bleat be the tie that binds." He prayed a soul stirring prayer. Deacon Lee and others made little speeches to the club. Rev. Wright was so much surprised that he had very little to say but he sang, "No never alone." All went away happy having spent an enjoyable evening. On Sunday night Rev. Wright read for the lesson Matt 25:1-13 The text was from Luke 12:13 The subject was "Wise and Foolish persons."

Pittsburg is erecting at a cost of $1,400,000 a great and noteworthy memorial hall in honor of the soliders and sailors of Allegheny County. This will be, it is asserted, the first solders and sailors' building erected in this country in which the purely monumental idea has been treated so as to MEMORIAL HALL FOR SOLDIERS COUNTY It is Being Erected in Pittsburg at a bostel, of New York be practicable for public use. The architects are Palmer & Hornbostel. The building is being erected on the Schenley property, facing Fifth avenue, and will contain an auditorium of architectural spaciousness that will be one of the largest in this country and will accommodate five thousand persons. The dinner hall will accommodate five thousand more. In a large gallery will be inscribed the names of soldiers and sailors of Allegheny County. The memorial hall will be specially noteworthy for its artistic features. There will be placed in a Grand Army post room, treated in quartered oak, a mural decoration by T. de Thulstrup depicting the final charge of the Pennsylvania cavalry, led by Colonel Schoolmaker, at the Battle of Winchester. Howard Pyle has just finished sketches for a mural decoration of the back of the platform in the auditorium, eighty feet long and twenty feet high. On the exterior of the building, over the front door, will be placed a huge bronze sitting figure symbolical of valor, nineteen feet high, executed by Charles Keck, the sculptor. There will also be put in appropriate places memorial tablets descriptive of the Civil War, such as the tablet of the famous telegraph corps, which Andrew Carnegie was a member. The approach to the building will be treated in a parkway scheme, 600 feet by 400 feet, so as to contain balustrades, benches and a high flagpole. A peace monument may be erected in the place. The main body of the building is 150 feet square; its height is about 180 feet, and it is built of sandstone. Curious Larvae. One of the most curious of all known phosphorescent larvae is found in British Gulna, near the Brazilian border, where it is known to the natives by the name of macadoub. It is believed to be the larva of some beetle. A specimen was recently carried to England by C. W. Anderson and exhibited, dead, at a meeting of the Linnean Society. When living the creature shows a ruby light in its head and a double row of phosphorescent spots along the body, two on each segment. The lights are not intermittent, but glow continuously.

Pencil of Many Hues. One of the most ingenious little devices recently put on the market is that shown in the cut. This device, the invention of a Maryland man, is a combination marking crayon, lumber gauge and tally pencil. First, there is a long, thin tube with an opening large enough to receive a lead pencil. At the other end is an enlarged tubular holder for crayon, the crayon-receiver end forming a shoulder, which S AND SAILORS OF ALLEGHENY TY, PA. Cost of $1,400,000. Palmer & Horn- k City, Architects. makes a stop when the tube is drawn across the edge of a board, for instance. Along the tube-a scale is marked, by means of which the thickness of a board may be measured, as between the shoulder and the marks on the gauge. The crayon is for marking boards and the pencil for recording the various necessary data in the owner's notebook.

"When our baby was seven weeks old he broke out with what we thought was heat, but which gradually grew worse. We called in a doctor. He said it was eczema and from that time we doctored six months with three of the best doctors in Atchison but he only got worse. His face, head and hands were a solid sore. There was no end to the suffering for him. We had to tie his little hands to keep him from scratching. He never knew what it was to sleep well from the time he took the disease until he was cured. He kept us awake all hours of the night and his health wasn't what you would call good. We tried everything but the right thing. "Finally I got a set of the Cuticura Remedies, and I am pleased to say we did not use all of them until he was cured. We have waited a year and a half to see if it would return but it never has and to-day his skin is clear and fair as it possibly could. I hope Cuticura may save some one else's little ones suffering and also their pocket-books. John Leason, 1403 Atchison St., Atchison, Kan., Oct. 19, 1909."

It is a remarkable fact that there are always more wild animals about than any but the expert has an idea of. For example there are within 20 miles of New York City fully 50 different kinds—not counting birds, feptiles, or fishes—one-quarter of which are abundant. Or more particularly, within the limits of Greater New York there are at least a dozen species of wild beasts, half of which are quite common. Country Life in America.

Fortunately it was only his tail feathers that were caught in the trap, but this aroused his fighting fire to a degree worthy of his name. Billee was released very carefully from the trap, so that the plumage of his tail would not suffer too much, but all the thanks his captor got was to have his finger nearly bitten to the bone. Billee calmed down in a few days from wild rage to gentle deprecation, and twittered a welcome to the kind people who offered him dainties, sweet words, and smiles. It was never his captor's intention to keep the bird a prisoner, so at this stage of Billee's education he was given free range. He had two special loves, his captor and the latter's sister, with pretty blonde hair, in which a bow of gay ribbon perched in butterfly fashion. Billee admired this bow immensely, and would pick at it and tweak at the golden locks. He would twitter loudly in response to "Good morning, Billee!" from his dear ones, as he flew from his cage. His first visit would be to a pail of water that sat on the back porch. He would balance on the rim of the pail, but never take the drink he wanted, or the bath, whichever it was, hut when a large bowl, half full of water, was placed on the porch, he would have a fine time splashing and spluttering in it, then hop out and give himself a brisk shake. Billee's bathing place in the spring, when the weather became warm, was in the cup shaped depressions in the turf left by the horses. Billee's courtship in May was immensely diverting to watch. He did not leave the premises, but did his courting right there at home, among the beautiful trees and flowers in the garden. As he always liked to sleep in his cage, we fastened it to the veranda among the vines and propped the door open. His little wildwood sweetheart found him the third day on her visit to the orchard, where.Billlee was protecting the apple trees by pickling off the insects. She was a shy little creature, in a brownish red dress. She came almost to the cage with Billeen, when he sought his perch, and answered his sleepy love calls in plaintive tremolo. Still, the courtship progressed slowly, as it took a week for him to induce little Phyllis to step inside the cage, and out she flew almost at once, because she was startled by a laugh on the porch. The next day, however, all was quiet as she came fluttering around, but she would not go into the cage, though Billee coaxed in the very best way he knew how, and that was to carry in bits of bark, sticks and so on, as his contribution toward building a home. He kept twittering his remarks that he thought it high time she quit being so shy and so on. Toward sunset another cardinal called to the little browny-red thing, and she doubtfully answered, with her head on one side, that she might watch Billee with one eye. Billee heard the call and vallytly flow after the intruder that had come to steal away his sweetheart. They clinched and tussled so fiercely that the house cat came stealthily along to watch the combatants, meanwhile licking her chops expectantly. She was not disappointed, as both birds fell to the ground and only one escaped; that one was not Billee. We buried him with becoming honors at the foot of a rose bush.—Suburban Life. Advertise When Business is Dull. There's nothing on earth so mysteriously funny as an advertisement. The prime first and last, and all-the-time object of an advertisement is to draw custom. It is not, and never will be, destined for any other purpose. So the merchant waits till the busy season comes and his store is so full of customers that he can't get his hat off, and then he rushes to his printer and goes in for advertising. When the dull season gets along and there is no trade and he wants to sell his goods so bad he can't pay his rent, he stops advertising. That is, some do, but occasionally a level-headed merchant does more of it, and scoops in all the business, while his neighbors are struggling to make ends meet. There are times when you couldn't stop people from buying everything in the store if you planted a cannon behind the door, and that's the time when the advertisement is sent out on its holy mission. It makes light work for advertising, for a chalk sign on the sidewalk could do all that was needed, and a half holiday six days in a week. Advertisements are built to do hard work, and should be sent out in dull days when a customer has to be knocked down with hard facts, and kicked insensible with bankruptreductions and dragged in with irresistible slaughter of prices before he will spend a cent. That's the end and aim of advertising, and if ever you open a store don't try to get them to come when they are already sticking out of the windows, but give them your advertisement right between the eyes in a dull season, and you will wax rich and own a fast horse, and perhaps be able to smoke a cigar once or twice a year. Write this down where you'll fall over it every day. The time to draw business is when you want business, and not when you have more business than you can attend to already. La Rue (O.) News.

As seen by different persons, the size of the moon varies from that of a cart-wheel to a silver dollar. To many it seems about a foot in diameter, from which Professor Young concludes that to the average man the distance of the surface of the sky is about 110 feet. It is certain that artists usually represent the moon much too large in size in their paintings. Occasionally they represent it in evening scenes with the horns turned downward instead of upward, whereas they must always point away from the sun. The true angular size of the moon is about half a degree, so that it can always be concealed behind a lead pencil held at arm's length.—Argus. Weavers of Old. More than 3,000 years ago, as tiles and marbles from Nineveh show, splendid fabrics were being produced for the adornment of the palaces of the kings of Assyria, and every Oriental rug becomes a magic carpet when one realizes how through the long days of the long centuries these simple people have been weaving in with the colors of the jewel and the rainbow the sunshine and shadow of their own lives.

Flowers Under Ultra-Violet Light. "I have found that, in general, most white garden flowers are black, or nearly so, in ultra-violet light," writes Professor Robert Williams Wood in the Century. "Next summer I am going to raise some white flowers under glass, which will screen them from the ultra-violet rays during their development, and see if this makes any difference; for it has recently been found that the color of flowers is related to the color of the light which falls upon them." ROSY COLOR Produced by Postum. "When a person rises from each meal with a ringing in the ears and a general sense of nervousness, it is a common habit to charge it to a deranged stomach. "I found it was caused from drinking coffee, which I never suspected for a long time, but found by leaving off coffee that the disagreeable feelings went away. "I was brought to think of the subject by getting some Postum and this brought me out of trouble. "It is a most appetizing and invigorating beverage and has been of such great benefit to me that I naturally speak of it from time to time as opportunity offers. "A lady friend complained to me that she had tried Postum, but it did not taste good. In reply to my question she said she guessed she boiled it about ten minutes. I advised her to follow directions and know that she boiled it fifteen or twenty minutes, and she would have something worth talking about. A short time ago I heard one of her children say that they were drinking Postum now-a-days, so I judge she succeeded in making it good, which is by no means a difficult task. "The son of one of my friends was formerly a pale lad, but since he has been drinking Postum, has a fine color.

Rub to a cream one pound light brown sugar and one cupful lard and butter mixed. Add two well-beaten eggs, one cupful sour milk into which a rounded teaspoonful soda has been beaten, the cupful nuts and flour, a little at a time, until the dough is stiff enough to roll out. Roll thin, cut in circles or any fancy shape desired, place on a well-greased pan and bake in a quick oven for four or five minutes.—Emma Paddock Telford, in the New York Telegram. 254 Stuffing For Turkey. Boll, the kidney, heart and liver until very tender, letting the water boll away until there is about one-half cup left; chop very fine into two onions, add ten or twelve crackers, chopped with two large boiled potatoes; mix the water and a cup of milk and an egg together and stir in the chopped part, adding more milk if necessary, for you want it quite thin; then add pepper, salt and sage to taste and dots of butter. Of course you will have to keep adding boiling water to the gibbies, as it bolls away.—Mrs. Mary E. Robinson, in the Boston Post. Hollandaiso Sauce. This is particularly good to serve with boiled fish. Mix in a bowl two tablespoonfuls butter, a teaspoonful lemon juice, a bit of bay leaf, a half dozen whole black peppers and if the butter is fresh a saltspoonful salt. Add a cupful stock or water and the juice of a lemon. Place the bowl in a pan of hot water and stir until the butter melts. Take from the fire and stir a little of the warm mixture into the well beaten yolk of three eggs. When mixed, gradually add the remainder of the sauce, return to the fire and stir steadily until thickened. Add another tablespoonful of butter and serve. The sauce is the foundation for lobster sauce or oyster sauce. Add to a pint of Hollandaise the chopped meat of one lobster craw and half the meat of one lobster pounded to a paste with the last table-spoonful butter to be added. For oyster sauce add a dozen and a half oysters that have been scalded in their own liquor to a pint of the Hollandaise. Do not add too much of the oyster liquor, as the sauce must not be too thin.—New York Telegram. Hints for Housewives. Creamed cauliflower, served in green shells, makes a dish as tasty as it is satisfying to the eye. To prevent eyeglasses "steaming" in cold weather, rub with vaseline and polish with a silk handkerchief. A baker says that a curful of liquid yeast is equivalent to half a compressed yeast cake, or whole dry yeast cake. If one needs a door stop and there is not one at hand, a large, spool, nailed in position, will answer every purpose. Oyster cocktails are sometimes served in small grapefruit shells or in paper shells. The effect is decidedly pleasing. To remove odor of fish or onions from the frying pan, put in vinegar and heat until scalding, and then wash out. For creaming butter or butter and sugar, a perforated spoon will be found more convenient than a fork or the hand. A spoonful of whipped cream is a tasty addition to any cream soup. Add it to the top of the cup just before serving. Ink stains on handkerchiefs and other cloths may often be soaked out in milk, but the sooner they are dealt with the better. Use butter rather than milk if potatoes need extra thinning. The former makes them soggy, and nothing is worse than milky mashed potatoes. To remove iron rust from white material wet the goods with lemon juice, rub on salt, and put out in the sun. If the first application falls, try it again. If salt fish is required for immediate use, it will freshen much more quickly if soaked in milk instead of water. Sour milk will answer as well as sweet. In baking biscuits have the oven quite hot at first, but lower the temperature just a little before the biscuits are ready to take out. This will add materially in making the biscuits light. Cold boiled spinach moulded in individual forms may be served with a rim of shredded lettuce as a salad. Dress lightly with oil and vinegar and put a little mayonnaise on the top of each form. To use up the cold boiled sweet potatoes, pare and slice them thick and fry them in butter. When they are brown sprinkle them with a little lemon juice and sugar and let the sugar melt over them.

Few people are afraid of germs. Yet the ghost is a fancy and the germ is a fact. If the germ could be magnified to a size equal to its terrors it would appear more terrible than any fire-breathing dragon. Germs can't be avoided. They are in the air we breathe, the water we drink. The germ can only prosper when the condition of the system gives it free scope to establish itself and develop.

There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of illness are not due to any actual disease, but simply to a constipated condition of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, promptly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are duo to the fact that it is the only remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is, therefore, all-important, in order to get its beneficial effects, to purchase and note that you have this genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only. It is pleasant and refreshing to the taste, and acts gently yet promptly on the kidneys, liver and bowels, cleanses the system effectually, dispels colds, headaches and fevers and assists in overcoming habitual constipation permanently, also biliousness and the many ills resulting therefrom. The great trouble with all other purgatives and aperients is not that they fail to act when a single dose is taken, but that they act too violently and invariably tend to produce a habit of body requiring constantly augmented doses. Children enjoy the pleasant taste and gentle action of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the ladies find it delightful and beneficial whenever a laxative remedy is needed, and business men pronounce it invaluable, as it may be taken without interfering with business and does not grieve nor nauseae.

Z A bearded man in a farm wagon | drawn by a restless team had hailed him from the highway. The_young man waved his hand and picking up his trunk carried It to the waiting ‘wagon and put it in behind the seat. Then he reached up his hand to the bearded: man. “How are you, father?” ‘The older man ignored the prof- tered grasp. “Get In,” ho hastily directed, “this team ain’t none too easy to hold. Th’ nigh horse there is likely to boit ff the engine foots.” The young man swung himself into the seat. “Let me drive them, father.” “Forgotten how, haven't you?” “No, father.” “Wait a minute.” The engine hoarsely tooted and the nigh horse ‘went up in the air. “What did I tell you—whoa there, whoa!” ‘The team ‘clattered up the main street, the driver finally bringing them down to.a safe pace. As they, struck thé highway beyond the vil- Jage, the gray eyes turned toward the Sounger man. , “Well, son, you're got an educa- ‘tlon.” : “Yes, father, and a very good edu- cation It is.” “An’ you're through. college for good and all?” : “For good and all.” «+ | “The older man clucked'to his team> ; “Well, Pve done what"l promised " your mother I'd do, I’ve sent you through.” “I'm very grateful, father.” 7 + “Just grateful in words." «4? “In every way.” oe { ‘There was a Iittle silence. “An’ you think the education spays?” “Yes, indeed. No matter what I ‘may do my education will be 2 help to me.” : “Even if it's farmin’2” “Yes, father.” | “That sounds all right.” He gave: othe young inan another quick glance. “You know this schoolin’ of yours pinched me a good deal.” | “I know, father, and I did my best “to make the expense as light as pos- sible.” “But It pinched just th’ same.

I've come back too my best to show you that I appreciate Your kindness and your self-sacrifice.” “Prove it,” said the older man ‘tersely. He turned the team Into a driveway thet led beside an old gray farm- house. “Let'me put up the horses, father.” ‘He leaped down lightly and put the . trunk on the back porch of the farm- house, then drove the team across the ‘yard and into the barn. The older man tooked after him: “Seems strong an’ good-natured,” he sald. “I wonder how long his good-nature will last.” He turned abruptly and entered the house. ‘When be had informed the old house- ‘keeper that his son had come home, he came out on the porch and washed his hand and facé in the tin basin. + “Th’ hoy takes after his mother,” “be mamarel, “{ never noticed it so much before.

Hullo, what's that?” ‘A cry trom the broad pasture at the Jeft had startled him. Across It he ‘saw a little girl running. Her hat crank, I wonder what's happguing?” It, was ‘nearly a-half hour ‘before the boy came back., He was walking briskly with his hands in his coat pockets, " “Sorry to have kept you waiting, father,” ho sald in his easy way. * Thé old man looked him.over. - “Where have you been?” he de- manded, - The young man laughed. “Been making a hurried call on one of our neighbors,” be replied. ~ He filled the tin washbasin at the pump and the old man noticed that the knuckles of his left hand were Dieeding. “Seo here,” he cried roughly, “you mustn't mix in matters that don’t con. cern you.” 2 “But this did toncern me, father,” sald Harmon, lightly. “Our neighbor was drunk and ugly and Was shame- fessty abusing his poor little wife.” ‘There was a brief silence. “Well?” demanded the old man. “He {s sorry he abused .her,” re- plied Harmon, gravely, “and I don’t belleve he will abuse-her again.” ‘The old man stared hard at his son, “Did you learn that at college?” he asked “Yes, father.” “Come in to supper.” ‘They ate in silence. “Son,” safd the old man presently, “I'm sorry I couldn't come down to th’ school th’ day you got your papers. I was too busy to-get away.” “I was disappointed,” sald Harmon, “put I knew !t was a considerable journey and that you have :but little time.” “You got through all right?” “Yes, father.” “Guess we'll go up to the north woods to-morrow an’ cut some winter wood.” “AN right, father.” So Harmon Greggs life on the farm began. He was a steady worker and a great help to the old. man. When the day's work was ended he ate hfs supper and tramped down to the vil- lage. Once the old man remonstrated. . The boy laughed. “I must have'a little variety, fa- ther, All work and no play makes Jack a much poorer worker.” * “No carousing, boy.” ‘And the boy laughed again. It was like the old man to make no inquiries concerning his son’s do- ings in the village. But one-day he was at the foot of the driveway when Abner Simmons drove by. “Hullo,” said Abner, as he drew in his horse, “how are ye, Grege?” _ “As well as usual,” the ofd man re. sponded. ‘The neighbor leaned down. “That's a great boy of yours,” he remarked. *Th’ boy's all right,” sald the old man sharply. “Both my boys think he's the fines! thing that ever walked.” Abner chuckled. “I s'pose you know what he’s up to?” - s: “I know pretty well what he’s up to in th’ daytime,” (said Harmon's tather. “Don’t he talk to you about it?” “He talks to me about things he knows I’m interested in.” “Well, mebby you'll be more inter ested In learnin’ it from me.

As he pussed beyond ear- shot ‘he growled under his breath, “Derned of” grduch, he don’t deserve to have a son.” - And ‘Harmon's father turned and slowly walked up the driveway. He .was thinking deeply. Of -course he hadn't asked his boy's confidence, but the lad might have told him some- thing about his work in the village. It wasn’t right that the information should come to him from Abner Sim- mons, a man who had never liked him. He even fancied Abner took a special delight in giving him the news —a delight born of disitke. It was the-college education that was to blame for it all. To blame for what? For hfs boy's~belng helpful and popular? : And then he suddenly contrasted Harmon with Abner Simmons’ simple but. well meaning lads, and a chuckle came from his tightly drawn lrs. The next Tuesday night he went down to the village. He waited a halt hour before he followed his son. ‘When he reached the little hall over the postoffice he fourd it filled. He went up the stairs part way and stopped and listened. He could hear Harmon's clear voice and then a quick est of applause. . He waited a moment longer and then went down the stairs heavily and slowly walked home. | It was like the man to say nothing to his son concerning his village con- nections. But there were times when he sorely wished his boy would show a little more confidence, And then one day in the late fall he had a surprising visitor. Harmon had gone to the grist mijl six miles away. The trip would take the entive machine: Whe 68 aah “nk in the driveway when an automobile stopped in the highway and an elderly man alighted. He was an elderly map of distinguished appearance, gray bearded and spectacled. “Is this the home of Mr. Gregg?” he asked. “I am John Gregg.” 7 “The father of Harmon Gregg?” “Yes.” : “I congratulate you, Mr. Gregg. 1 am Dr. Endicott, president of the col- lege your son attended.

He led the way and offered his vis itor a chair. “I want to say to you frankly, Dr Endicott,” he suddenly remarked “that I don't believe in a college edu: cation.” “So much the more to your credit," sald the college president lightly, “fo: letting the boy enjoy its advantages. “I had promised his mother,” sa{¢ Harmon's father, on the defensive, ‘The visitor gravely bowed. “Have you found that his educatior has harmed your son?” , “No,” replied Harmon's father “1'll admit that it hasn't changed him any, The boy came home and wen! right, back to farming as it nothing hhad happened.

Considering the ‘nature of the ground the Bergen Railway follows a singularly direct route to Christianiz. ‘The line fs carried up from Voss by e steep gradient to the top of the deso- late Fieldberg, round the neck of the towerlng Halllnsharvet, with its neck- lace of glaciers and its beautiful mountain flora, and down through the rich scenery of Hallingdal, where ap- parently Hmitless forests of pine and birch and ash elothe the sides of the rounded hills, whose forms were ground out by prehistoric glacial ac- tlon. : ‘All along the marvellous route the air js filled with the roar and thunder of water courses, dashing down preci- pices of dizzy heights, pouring an im- mense volume of ice-cold water into the valleys and flords, forming here a rapid of seething, boiling water whose prismatic surf rises high like artillery smoke, end there, a pool of suddenly still, Mmpid depth where you can count the pebbles and watelt the salmon trout. In the-fitty-two miles between Voss and Finse, the highest station on’the line, there ts a rise of 3800 feet, and from Finse down through the Hal- lingdal to Gulsvik, a distance of 100 mnfles, there is a drop of-3500 feet. A locomotive of 800 horse power is used for the trains, and the traveling is smooth and pleasent throughout.

THE GOSPEL OF MASONRY. Freemasonry has a gospel of its own as true, as logical, as simple as convincing to every right thinking and right acting man as any ‘in the World, It is based upon God's reveal ed will, It enforces as strongly a: possible the doctrine of doing right in every act of life. It teaches k:nd niess, brotherly lore, honesty, truth fulness, justice and every act that Is uplifting and purifying. ‘Masonry in every lesson teache: purity of action. Nothing that is de sgtading, or that is contrary to right acting or right thinking, can be asso clated wita the fostitution, Al that is honorable, that Ss’ ennobling, that is right and uplifting is included in the | lessons of the lodge room. These les sons can be accepted by all men of every doctrine of belief, Masonry is dfametrically opposed to war, or prof itless discussions. It is serious in all of its demands. It enforces the doc trines of right acting between its members, all ‘things that lead to peace and brotherly action with our fellow men. Some one wrote as follows: WThe Gospel of Masonry is that it you are in the wrong with a brother go to alm and make it right. Dan’ go all around town and tell every one you meet about your grievance, but go to the brother himself and havo a free and frank talk with him, and ten to one when you leave him after’ o fraternal handshake you will feet ‘s bigger and ‘broader man.” .A man who follows this plan of liv ing will be a happier man, a morf tender, loving brother and will be his very actions endear himself tc his fellows, waether in the fraternity or not. t Masonry {s a lving principle, tha! seeks to make its votaries regard the right acting and the right living with its fellow men, the cultivation of the principles of honesty and every noble virtue, that regards a wrongtul action as degrading and injurious and Is in tended in all of its influence to*b uplifting in every moral and righte ‘ous atcion, No one can live accord ing to the principles ‘andNeachings o! Masonry, and do anything, knowitigl; and willingly, that {s.contrary to mor al and upright acting, and live anc sct according to every principle o rigdt. Masonry ‘frowns on every wrongful act and admonishes th right acting between cach other, and the world at large—W. J. Duncan, {1 the Argus. 1... PROMINENT: PEOPLE. Mgr.
