C, (Speclal).— Bertillon measurements and photo- graphs of every citizen for public Fecord were proposed at the Amerl- “can Prison Association Convention by Alvert H. Hall, of ‘Minneapolis, in submitting the report of the com- malttee on eriminal law freform. “The United States government ought to make {ts chief concern to discover, develop and realize itself, by gathering and recording full blo- graphic and civil data of each of, its component units, the life of every man,” sald Mr. Hall. “We have de- veloped the registration and Iden- tifcation of domestic animals. Why omit the record of human life, the supreme product of creation? The task is not impossible, its benefit [ould be incalculable and far-reach- E “Such a registration should be na- tonal in scope and authority, em- bracing a continuous enumeration and consecutive numbering of the whole citizenship, including a dupll- cate card certificate system, {dentl- tying its bearer by photograph or finger print. Such duplicates should ‘be kept in a Federal bureau. Thero should be a compulsory daily entry and report by all courts of record and other officlal keepers of social and vital data to show every contact of the man with the atate.” Hall expressed the opinion thgt such a system would elevate and equalize the standard of citizenship, “prevent duplicity of the Individual in all of his relations and extend the family ties, constitute a universal in- “telligence ‘and credit bureau and simplity expensive election discus: sion among the delegates, many argu: ments being advanced for and against it. : ‘Attorney General " Wickersham, who was to have led the discussion on the report, was detained at the Cabinet meeting until late and was not -present.

Washington, D. C. (Special).—Ad- vices have been received hore from American officials in the Orient to the effect that a criti¢al situation exists in China and that an outbreak similar to the boxer rebellion of sey- oral years ago would not surprise the close observers of the recent trend of events. , Diplomatic officials in China have been instructed to maintain a close watch on internal conditions and to submit quick telegraphic reports as the occasion warrants. __Thesadvices thus far received Inci- cate that the unrest in China is so great that only a leader is needed to Put the spark of life into an open re- Dellion, Al through the summer months there have been mutterings of discontent in some of the Chinese provinces arising from the rice fam- ine, dynastic difficulties and dissatis- faction over acts of the Peking gov- ernment as to foreign investments In China.

Authentic adyices from those charged with keeping in touch with the conditions indicate that the only thing. lacking to parallel the situation with that preceding the boxer trou- bles, which drew Into China the Saar forces, as well as those of other nations, {s the matter of organ- ization. __ Every vessel in the Aslatic fleet, as ‘well as the-military forces at Manila, {s prepared for almost instant action in the event the trouble breaks. ‘There are available in the Navy the armored crulser New York, which 1s the flagship of Rear Admiral Hub- ‘bard, commander-in-chlef of the fleet, the protected cruiser New Orleans, the gunboats Callao, Helena, Samar, Villaiobbs, Mindoro and Paragua, the light draft gunboat Wilmington, the protected cruiser Albany, the cruiser Rainbow, the coast defense vessel Monterey and the transport Buffalo.

He is a philosopher and Talbotton folk often quote his quaint sayings, He is respected byl all and all the people are his friends, I talked with him a half hour with- out his suspecting that I was seeking nuggets of bis philosophic gold.

The girl poised herself against the edge of the counter, and held up a tiara of diamonds for the inspection of her customer, as they sparkled in genuine luster against the smooth, white skin of her hand. The customer shook her head doubtfully. "She is one of those, women who have been surfeited with such things as these," he said, "and it isn't easy to make her happy that way. You see," he went on, leaning against the other side of the counter, and dropping into a confidential tone—"she is my fiancee—one of those old standing engagements—and since I have been out in this big western country I haven't seen much of her. I am going on there tomorrow, and want to take something and fix matters up, one way or the other. These are first water, every stone, you say? And the design—well I'll take your word for that. Would you mind sticking it up there in your hair, for a second, so that I can get the effect?" he asked, hesitating. The girl lifted the sparkling ornament with a little embarrassed flush, and fastened it in her shiny puff of golden brown hair. The man turned his head to one side, and took a critical glance at the trim little figure in its neatly fitting black gown, the refined, pretty face, and soft, large eyes, and forgot to look at the diamond. The girl blushed scarlet, and lifted it off, as she said in a hurt tone: "She will be dressed to show it off, all right;" he answered, absently—"and yes, she is handsome," he added. "But I don't like furbelows and laces, and diamonds either, for that matter; and would you mind my telling you that I was admiring that little black frock you have on, with the white band in the neck, so much, that I forgot about the diamonds?" The girl blushed again, but somehow there was a straightforward sincerity in the compliment that made her know her customer meant no impertinence, and she answered modestly: "Laces and furbelows are not exactly to my taste either, but I shouldn't object to something a little finer." Then she grew confidential, too, and told him that the black gown she wore was mourning, for her father, who had died and left her all alone in the world with an invalid mother to support. She was afraid she would not have her long; and she would be quite alone in the world. Then she brushed away the tears and began to talk of the merits of the diamonds. He made arrangements to return the tiara if it didn't suit, and she wondered if he would bring it back, and for some unaccountable reason she hoped he would. A week had passed, and he had not come, and then something happened to put everything else out of her head for the time. The manager called her to his desk one morning and told her he would not need her after that day. She had done nothing to displease him, he said, but they had to reduce their force, and a member of his own family was to take her place. As she was about to leave the desk he called her back, and handing her an extra check, said hurriedly: "Here is an extra check for $10, Miss Allen; we are in the habit of paying the clerks a per cent. on such large sales as the tiara you sold last week, and I think this will about cover your sale." "She thanked him, and took the check, but suddenly remembering something, turned and handed it back to him. "The gentleman arranged to bring the tiara back if it didn't suit, and I can't take this!" she said, with a little sob, and leaving him before he had time to reply, she went back to her place and began to arrange the jewel cases behind her counter. "Her whole month's wages would have to go for the doctor's bills for her, ask another." And the $10 would pay the rent until I can get another place." She sobbed, as just then a little cough attracted her at. tention, and she hurriedly dried her eyes and turned to wait on a customer. It was the man who had brought the tiars. He smiled and laid down a little package on the counter. "You see, I have brought it back, as it didn't suit her," he announced, not looking in the least downcast about it. "Oh, I'm sorry—that, is I wouldn't have been a little while ago, but now." The girl hesitated, and looked up in tearful confusion at the man who bent his eyes questioningly upon her until she attempted to explain. "I didn't mean to tell you, but now it has slipped out, I will have to say that I am sorry you brought the tiara back because I have just lost my place, and they were to give me a per cent. on this sale which I need very much, until I can get something else-to do." The man made a little gesture of relief, and smiled good humourly. "I am sorry you are to lose your place," he said, "but I can't help being glad the tiara didn't suit, because nothing else did. As to your place—I have been thinking a great deal about you lately and I came here to offer you another place. All you will have to do is to say that you will take it." He stopped and looked across the counter at the girl who dropped her eyes as a sudden wild suspicion sent the color over her face and neck into the very roots of her hair. "But I will try hard to make the place easy for you," he said, leaning nearer her, and speaking very tenderly. "I have made a good deal of money, and I have a great big house and lots of servants, and a comfortable nook for your sick mother. All I need is a good sensible little woman like you to make it cheerful and bright for me, and help me enjoy the things I have worked for. I went to New York for the woman I told you about, but I saw she wasn't the kind I wanted and I didn't suit her, so we agreed to give OF COURSE YOU CANT JUDGE THIS WAY- each other up. And then I began to think of the little girl who sold me the tiara and I believed she would be just the kind of a woman I have always wanted. I came to ask her to be my wife!" The girl could not speak for a few minutes, then with a little impulsive gesture, she exclaimed: "Oh, I have read beautiful novels, where such things as this have happened, but it was always that the rich hero was old and ugly, and the heroine would take him because she was poor, and not because—" She paused confusedly. "She loved him?" he ventured, questioning her with a tender, smiling countenance. "Well, I am not old or very ugly," he went on, "and I am not exactly a hero, but somehow there is only one thing I have been afraid of in my little heroine. Is she different from the book-kind in this respect?" he asked, slipping his hand slyly over the counter and holding hers until she answered: "I believe she is, and I think he is a hero too, even if he is not old and ugly!" she added, with a rapturous smile. "What is meant by 'making both ends meet,' pa?" "Keeping your feet on your mind, my son." A NEW TWIST. Knicker—Bread is to be sold, by weight. ORIGIN OF TERM HONEYMOON It Compared the Affections of Newly Married, Persons to the Chang- ing Moon. The term honeymoon had originally, it seems, no reference to a period of a month, but compared the affection of newly married persons to the changing moon, "which is no sooner full than it begins to wane." Hulvert, in his dictionary, published in 1442, calls it a term proverbially applied to the newly married, "whiche will not fall out at fyrst," but the one loveth the other at the beginning exceedingly, the livelihood of their exceeding love appearing to assuage, "ye which time the vulgar people call the honeyone." In the upper classes this period was most frequently spent in receiving company at home—at the house of the lady's father or guardian. In a letter from "An Honest Citizen" in the Guardian for 1713, we read: "They tell me I must appear in my wedding suit for the first month at least, after which I am resolved to come again to my every day's clothes, for at present every day is Sunday with me. I fancy everybody observes me as I walk the street. P. S.—I forgot to tell you of my white gloves, which they say, too, I must wear all the first month." A MERE DETAIL GEORGE BAKER Ella—I'm engaged. Stella—Who is the man? Ella—I don't know yet; the proposal was by telephone. ISLAND UNDER A CURSE. Race suicide is no joke in New Caledonia, where most of the white labor has been performed by convicts and ex-convicts, that island being a penal colony of France. There are very few female convicts to contract marriages, upon liberation, with the free male convicts. Naturally other women have not cared to settle in such a colony. Then, too, the liberated convicts are past middle age as a big majority. In December only 459 were under forty years. The number of deaths far exceeds the number of births. For the same reason the native blacks follow the race suicide example of the whites, there being a marked decrease of population among them, too. The curse of penal servitude seems to lie on the island. It is estimated that in twenty years Caledonia will be virtually destitute of labor. NOT FOR GOOD. There are many reasons for a girl's giving up office work, but one mentioned by a writer in Brooklyn Life in the following story is perhaps the most effective that could be invented. "Miss Smith is going away," said one of the stenographers to another. "Is she going for good?" "No, not for good. For better or worse." VIOLIN ON PHONOGRAPH.

POOR INVENTOR REWARDED Pathetic Anecdote in Connection With the Annual Competitive Exhibition, Field, in Paris Once a year a general competitive exhibition of new inventions is held in Paris, France, and is called the "concours Lepine," because M. Lepine, the prefect of police, originated the idea, which has become immensely popular, especially among small inventors. This year it is held at the Grand palais and is attracting general attention. A pathetic anecdote has just come to light in connection with it. Among the practical novelties there was an automatic dumping car worked pneumatically. The idea was very simple and original, and the members of the jury decided to give its owner special recognition. But he had no known residence in Paris, and there was a difficulty in locating him. Finally, after much patient research, the inventor's temporary abode was found. It was simply under the arches of the Alma bridge. He had not enough money to pay even sixpence for a bed at night, as he had spent, whatever he had in making the model. He had walked all the way from the neighborhood of Nancy to Paris, and left his wife and children with just eleven francs on parting. The members of the jury at once concluded that simple cash was better for him than an honorary medal, and have decided to pay for his board and lodging in Paris. They also advanced him a small sum of money, half of which he at once sent to his wife, with the good news that his invention had received recognition. STATE PAYMENT OF DOCTORS Liverpool Man Believed the System Would Tend-to Put Prevention Before Cure. Should doctors be paid by the state? This question was debated with great vigor by the medical section at the conference of the Royal Institute of Public Health at Birkenhead. "The inevitable tendency under the present condition of things," said Prof. B. Moore of Liverpool, "is to put cure before prevention. If all doctors were paid by the state, the prevention of disease would be much more in everyone's interest than at present." A different view of the matter was expressed by a delegate, who scornfully asked: "Can anyone with any knowledge of the world imagine that patients would consent to have their doctors thrust upon them like tax collectors?"—London Daily Mirror. CROMWELL CANNON BALLS. An interesting discovery has been made in the Vartég mountain, near Ystalyfera, Wales. Laborers employed at cutting away the mountain side preliminary to building operations, unearthed two or three cannon balls. They are from four to six inches in diameter and much interest is 'aroused as to their history. It is a well-known fact that the Protector, Oliver Cromwell, during his campaign in Wales, passed across this valley on his way to Swansea. It is certainly possible that these cannon balls are remains of Cromwell's spent ammunition. It is a historical fact that Cromwell's forces, headed by the Protector himself, demolished Oystermouth castle. He also brought.heavy cannon to finish the siege of Pembroke, where the royalists made their last stand. HIS EXPLANATION.. Mrs. Benham—They used to think that the earth was flat.

Have Your Shoes Repaired by Thos. G. Young. Preminent Men Think Lynchings Should be Fully Investigated. Atlanta, Ga.—A movement is under way here to interest both leading colored men and white men in the appointment by the congress, or, rather, by the President, upon authority of the congress, a commission to investigate the causes and effect of lynching and to make a report thereon with whatever suggestions or recommendations that may seem wisest and remedial. Many thoughtful men, among both races, are alarmed at the increasing rate of lynchings and the ease with which those who take the law in their own hands escape punishment or even condemnation. Not only is the very stability of government, in this section particularly, threatened, but unless some way is found to check the lynching fever the labor of the South will be seriously disturbed, and the wave of industrial prosperity that has been sweeping over this section for a full decade will disappear. The tendency to murder and mob violence, throughout the country is at once alarming and threatening the very life of the institutions that make a nation and a people strong and enduring. It is easier now to assemble a mob to avenge some wrong more often imaginary than real, than it was in the years immediately following the war. At first it might have been due to the influence of prejudice, to the competition in the attainment of education and wealth. The Negro was striving to emulate the whites, and the whites had set up a standard for the blacks, not out of harmony or reach of their capabilities, but out of harmony with the elementals of that race. This condition will continue to exist until the two people, each intelligently recognizing the rights of the other, and each respecting those rights, come to a better understanding and realize that the Golden Rule is something more than a fine phrase. Prejudice, however, is no longer responsible for the spirit of organized violence for frequently the victim of the mob belongs to the race out of which the mob was gathered." It was suggested that some form of commission might be given power to study the question. "That is the idea," went on this leader of thought. "It is my opinion that a commission appointed by the president through congress with liberal powers of inquiry, could assist greatly in checking this deadly evil. Provided, however, the work of the commission is thorough and practical and will be done in a spirit of helpfulness. Other citizens of Atlanta, each a citizen of intelligence and prominence, have expressed the same view, and are anxious to co-operate with others in any section to get this idea before the congress. SUNFLOWER PHILOSOPHY. As astronomers seek to find life in every planet, so does the philosopher seek good in all men. Some reflections are mirrors of lasting brightness, To many it is given to comfort by a divine silence, while others chat all sorts of hurts into the heart. Some married folks live very singular lives. In this pilgrimage, we can never judge too lentently—since we, too, may have our moment of repentance, when mercy is the sweetest thing we hope for. Jealousy is the spite of life. Marble palaces often harbor cool differences. differences. Sentimentalists are always punished by their imagination. The path to success is not lined with smiling faces or corks of champagne. If pretense could travel as far as sincerity, there, would be lots of delusions in this world. Too often the ear that is tuned to the music of the spheres doesn't hear the collector at the door. The fresh young man often gets a salting down. The best. of intentions are not half so good as one little deed. Waves of sympathy often go over the sentimental listener's head. All the good nature in the world cannot destroy the poison of gossip. Manners conserve conventions, without which this would be a place of confusion. It takes two to make a quarrel, but some people like to have the second a very silent partner. The truly great allow nothing to work as obstacle, even the ruthless fattiness of would-be friends. Each human soul depends upon some other, then falls back upon itself in a loneliness which is too fast for expression. The least vowed, the soonest fur. filled. It is better for the roving lad torove and retium, than to make of dear ties imaginary bands of iron. Order now has Over One Thousand Lodges and Over Sixty-Five Thousand Members. Little Rock, Ark—The national committee management of the National Order of the Mosaic Templars of America met in this city for three days, and the report submitted by National President William Alexander showed that the growth of the organization has been phenomenal in recent years. national medical examiner; J. E. Henderson, national organizer; S. A. Jones, attorney general; J. H. McConico, secretary to the president, all of the above being from Little Rock; J. J. Scott, national lecturer, Memphis, Tenn.; J. W. Goodgame, national chaplain, Birmingham, Ala.; A. W. Weatherford, treasurer of the temple During his report National President Alexander said: The growth of this order has been phenomenal. It started in this city twenty-eight years ago with one lodge of fifteen members. It now has 1,000 lodges and 65,000 members, and operates in twelve states. During the past year 120 new lodges were organized, and 7,600 new members added to the order. We are teaching the Negro citizenship, respect and the rewards of thrift, honest and upright living. Wherever I have gone I have impressed upon the members to allow the shiftless, lawless Negro no quarter. National Secretary J. E. Bush reported that the order in twenty-eight years had disbursed among widows and orphans more than a quarter of a million dollars, and has accumulated a surplus of $16,000. Reports of the insurance commissioner of Arkansas show that, the order owns 85 percent of the entire wealth of all the Negro orders in this state. The following members of the committee were in attendance: William Alexander, national president; D. G. Hill, national vice president; J. E. Bush, national secretary; Leona Richmond, assistant national secretary; J. A. Davis, national treaurer; C. E. Bush, national editor; J. G. Thornton, BOTH A LADY AND A LAWYER. The only woman in part two of the Court of General Sessions was Miss Freda Thomas, a petite and girlish Portla, who was defending George Davis on the charge of burglary in the third degree, runs a story in the New York Evening Sun. Judge Crain, in summing up, praised the young woman's conduct of the case, saying that she had defended the prisoner ably. The courtroom was filled to overflowing by a big panel of jurors, and every spectator gazed with evident curiosity at the slight figure of the girl counsellor. She wore a turban of black, split straw tarnished with a bunch of cerise quilts and a clinging black silk-gown; which set off her brilliant complexion to the greatest advantage. This was the second day of the case, and the jury having become accustomed to listening to a girl counselor and seeming to be far from concerned as to the fate of the defendant, gazed out of the window in twelve directions with detached and stony starea. First, the petite Portla summed up. Her voice made a low and pleasant sound in the room for some time, and then Assistant District Attorney Wilmot took up the tale. He referred first to the fact that it was seldom that a prisoner at that bar was defended by a "lady." "I object," exclaimed Miss Thomas, vehemently. "I object to any reflection on my sex. I am a lawyer." "You are both a lady and a lawyer," said Judge Crain, soothingly. Noise. All night he lay and cursed the pest, A lonely katydid! —Puck. Not Just Understood.

Keatts served as national president until his death several years ago, when William Alexander succeeded him. J. E. Bushs has served as national secretary since the order was organized. Staring in Little Rock with fifteen members, the order has grown rapidly and is now one of the strongest institutions operated by Negroes in this country. It has more than 1,000 branch bodies located in twelve states. The supreme lodge is one of the largest gatherings among Negroes, being composed of over 2,000 delegates and officers. Wherever this meeting convenes it means that not less than $15,000 will be spent in that city that week. Representatives armed with petitions from commercial bodies, municipal and county officials, etc., were present from Birmingham, Memphis, Montgomery, Mobile, New Orleans, Louisville, Atlanta, Muskogee, Nasville and Little Rock. Little Things Worth Knowing In 1861 an industrious meteorologist collected particulars of the weather on July 15 for the previous 20 years and found that the greatest number of rainy days after St. Swithin's day had taken place when July 15 was dry. The greatest number of rany days following a wet St. Swithin's was in 1860, with 29 rainy days, but 1848 was a dry St. Swithin's and 31 rainy days followed. In fact, the saint has belied his reputation of many occasions. The modern meteorologist has no use for him. By the way, the pretty tradition that when it rains on July 15 the old saint us "christening the apples" is still remembered in the west country.

Pastor Jean Georges Stuber of the the Ban-de-la-Roche, a parish in the mountains of Vosges, was a forerunner of those philanthropic souls, so plenty at the present time, who are blessed with the valuable gift of promoting charity in others. Both his humor and his courage in solicitation are illustrated by this incident from "The Story of John Frederic Oberlin." The provost of Ban-de-la-Roche resided in Strasburg. Pastor Stuber asked of him lumber enough to build a schoolhouse. This high personage, in rather a disheartening way, declined to contribute; but Stuber, by no means disconcerted by his positive refusal, said: "I trust your excellency will not forbid me to call upon some charitably disposed people and solicit aid for such a needful work." "Not at all! not at all. Call upon whom you please." "Well," replied Pastor Stuber, with his pleasantest smile, "as your excellency is well known for his charity and good deeds, I will begin here." holding out his hat. The audacity and manner of it all pleased the provost, and ended in his contributing the whole amount of lumber for the school.—Youth's Companion. TO ADORN LOVELY WOMAN New York Imported Last Year Jewels and Other Luxuries Worth $121,000,000. To enhance the charms of the pretty women in New York city and perhaps to decorate some of the dowagers there were brought in that port last year, or, to be exact, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1910, diamonds and other precious stones, laces, silks, furs and feathers to the value of more than $121,000,-000. As against this grand total, which is almost one-half of the total for all the so-called luxuries brought into the United States, the value of the articles imported for men alone was only $38,222,225, and that includes $2,872,580 for automobiles and parts thereof, in which it may be said that women share almost as much as the men. The total value of the cigars and tobacco brought into this port during the twelve months was $19,742,-683, and the value of the wines and spirits was $15,607,063. There was $45,989,484 worth of diamonds and precious stones alone, all of which, with the exception of the few that adorn Tammany hall politicians and bartenders, went to adorn female loveliness. How careful should mothers be to make their homes sunny, joyous, bright and attractive; for on them is built the great fabric of the years to come. The long chain of life experience and lifetime memories begins there, and thought retravels the path so offen, lingering here and there by the way, living over and over again the sunny springtime memories. Mothers, too, should instill into every member of their families not only a love for truth, honor and virtue, but also a love of temperance, correct living and all the health commandments which are needful to a healthful life. . HIS DISTINCTION. Mons. Bamberger, a native of Strasburg, librarian at the Paris museum, who died recently, at the age of eighty-five years, was known to fame as the maker of a single short speech in the assembly forty-two years ago. The question was on the voting of the treaty which gave Germany his native province. He rose and simply said: "There is but one man in France who should sign such a treaty: Napoleon III." The entire chamber-rose in one burst of patriotic applause, stifling the timid protestations of the last few friends of the Napoleonic regime. A DOUBTFUL BENEFIT "I can't understand Miss.

The grossly fat man puffed into the parlor car on the New York Central, deposited his baggage by the side of his revolving chair, took off his hat, mopped the beads from a brow as destitute of hair as Mt. Everest, and took off his coat with an andible grunt of relief. The woman in the next chair unified furiously, the New York correspondent of the Cincinnati Times-Star writes. "Put on your coat," said the pallid, young reformer who had a chair next the sniffer. - The fat man wanted to know why. "There are ladies in the car," said the young, reformer. "The gentleman will remove his coat in the presence of a lady." The fat man snorted and turned his attention to the sniffing lady. "Make her put on her coat, too," said he. "I am shocked by the clothes she is wearing. I am at least completely covered, but her sleeves do not reach her elbow, and I can see through the holes in her waist to the second joint. What is fair for the gander is; in this instance, equitable for the hen." The amateur reformer looked at the sniffing lady, blushed and buried himself in his paper. The lady sniffed again. Down the car other men cautiously removed their coats as the train pulled out, and bestowed themselves to fitly resist the heat. The grossly fat man was still mopping his brow as peace came down like a blanket. AUTHORS INSPIRED ALIKE Doyle. Planned Story About a Lonely Inn and Found Maugassant Had Forestalled Him. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle once walked over the Gemmi. He was much impressed by the desolate appearance of the lonely looking Schwarenbach inn. Here, it seemed to him, was an ideal scene in which a novelist might locate a story of mystery and crime. He proceeded to invent a story of mystery and crime suitable to the creepy environment. It was a story of a murder, the murder of a long-lost son just home from the wars, by his own father, the needy inkeeper, who did not recognize him until after the deed was done, but had resolved to kill and rob the first lonely stranger who passed that way with money in his pocket. "The very thing," thought Sir Arthur; and he went down the hill cheerfully revolving the morbid conception in his mind. Then a strange thing happened. After dinner, in the hotel at Leukerbad, he picked up a volume of Maupassant's short stories, and he found that the French author had not only been to the Schwarenbach inn before him but had actually located there a story practically identical with the one which he himself had just devised. CHIEF THINGS OF LIFE. Albert Shaw: The important thing is clearness, which means exact thinking, and next in importance is a certain sympathetic attitude in more than one direction, together with some degree of capacity for enthusiasm; that is to say, some optimism, either temperamental, or acquired.

ATCHISON'S ORDER OF SPINS Unmarried, and Contented Withal, They Have Mapped Out for Themselves a Pious City. There was called a meeting of the Ancient Order of Spins last evening, and papers were read on every subject, from removing grease from carpets to the sad memories that attach to a bunch of old letters. The Spins were having a hilarious time, when a visiting Spin got up to make a few remarks. She said that, while they are happy now, there was a sad time coming. "Think of the day," she said, "when, having no husbands or children, you will be all alone." There was a sniff and then a snort as Spin after Spin recalled lives and mothers who are alone from daylight till dark, except when some member of the family wants waiting on. The sniffing and snorting increased in volume as Spin after Spin told of her freedom from worry, her independence in financial matters and the joy of doing as she pleased. "But we must not take offense at what our sister has said," one Spin remarked. "Let us show our good intentions by calling on every lonesome wife and mother we know." This was six weeks ago, and though the Spins have devoted every afternoon and evening since to this missionary work, they haven't made half the rounds yet—Atchison Globe. Illiterate Immigrants.

Which Brings Daily Enjoyment. A lady, doctor writes: "Though busy hourly with my own affairs, I will not deny myself the pleasure of taking, a few minutes to tell of my enjoyment daily, obtained from my morning cup of Postum. It is a food beverage, not a poison like coffee." "I began to use Postum eight years ago, not because I wanted to, but because coffee, which I dearly loved, made my nights long weary periods to be, dreaded and unitting me for business during the day. "On the advice of a friend, I first tried Postum, making it carefully as directed on the package. As I had always used cream and no sugar, I mixed my Postum so. It looked good, was clear and fragrant, and it was a pleasure to see the cream color. It is my Kentucky friend always wanted her coffee to look—like a new saddle." Then I tasted it critically, for I had tried many substitutes for coffee. I was pleased, yes, satisfied with my Postum in taste and effect, and am yet, being a constant user of it all these years. "I continually assure my friends and acquaintances that they will like it place of coffee and receives benefit from its use. I have grasped weight, can sleep sound and am not nervous.

With the strenuous one stumping the state and football ruling supreme in the large and small cities of New England and the Middle State the monied center of our country will surely not lack for excitement. 'AGAIN the blood thirsty hand of mob violence has gotten to work. This time its deeds were done in Alabama and the perpetration is almost a duplicate of a lynching and burning which occurred in Georgia some years ago. Not satisfied with taking the life of their victim they proceeded to burn him at the sake. Truly this deed could not have been improved upon by the natives of the interior, of Africa or the savages of the South Sea Islands. And think of it, these things go on day after day and only a passing notice is given them by the authorities. THE morning paper in large headlines declared that the "Public school pupils are all provided for—school authorities have made room for all applicants." We would jump for joy and sing hearty praises were the above true. If the writer of the headlines could have been at the colored schools on the opening day and noted the disappointment of the hundreds of little ones and the saddened faces of their parents, in being turned away for the lack of accommodation; he would never think of such lines. Yes, we have thousands of children out of school; yet every white child is provided for, and we do not envy them. AND still the honors to our worthy and esteemed Mr. Washington multiply day by day. Even nobility itself seems to have gone wild over this, the greatest man among us and is leaving no stones unturned in entertaining him. He is truly deserving of all the praise and honor which the rulers and people of the old world can bestow upon him, and we heartily congratulate our leading man of color for the open welcome he is receiving on every side in Europe and the British Isles. We shall look with anxious eyes for the wealth of information and words of good cheer which we are sure he, is bound to bring us on his return to America. THE. Republican state convention which met in Saratoga, N. Y., last week, resulted not only in the partial capitulation of the Old Guard but even changed the whole-complexion of politics in the empire state. It marked the dramatic and successful re-entry upon the political stage of expresident. Theodore Roosevelt. It greeted with seeming madness and deafening applause his appearance upon the rostrum and accepted in part, at least, the New Nationalism of which he is the chief exponent. In short it hearkened almost unto his every wish and demonstrated once again that the popularity of our former president is by-no means waning and seemed to presage a general shake up in the national convention which convenes in 1912. The advertising campaign which is being waged by the citizens and and merchants of Savannah for the purpose of creating an awakening of interest in the city and opening the eyes of the state and country to the natural advantages and beauty we have here is a most commendable scheme and one which is deserving of our highest praise and most hearty co-operation. We have, for the past twenty or more years, been in a state of lethargy and have, for the most part, been far from as active, and energetic as we should have been. From a city of first standing, we have allowed so many opportunities to pass without grasping them that we are now almost numbered among those of secondary importance. Our neighbors here and there, through this and surrounding states have been made to look upon us, by our easy going air as a people well satisfied with the laurels we gained in years gone by. They have by their thrift and enterprising spirit actually passed us by and that too, for the simple reason that we were too easily contented with our apparent high standing. But, at last, we have come to our senses. We have opened our eyes wide and taken in the situation as it really is and not as we would wish it. From now on we are going to make a progressive fight for leadership in Georgia and, in short, we are going to retrieve lost honors. And in this race of progress, we, the colored people, are going to shoulder our part of the responsibility. We are not only going to give our support by words of praise, but we are going to lend our moral and financial support as well. Else where will be found the first evidence of the financial support we as colored citizens of a great and coming city are going to give this commenable movement. THAT only about five hundred and fifty of the fifteen hundred odd colored children who sought entrance into the public schools of Savannah were successful in gaining admittance tells a story which is both sad and lamentable. Not withstanding this woeful condition of affairs it is often wondered why so many of our boys and girls go astray. Not being able to gain admittance into the schools, a very large proportion of them is compelled to find some other means of using this time and as a consequence they roam headlessly through the streets of our city falling into bad and improper company, going into places of questionable standing, frequenting dives and dens, which by law should be closed and before they are fairly in their teens have become too well acquainted with the ways of the under world. It is the result of an idle mind which causes all of this sorrow and degradation and if there were only adequate room in the public schools to accommodate these children such would not be the case. Most of these unfortunate children have parents who through necessity, are compelled to toil the day away from home in order that they may gain a livelihood for their children and themselves. Therefore, these children under no restrain whatever are left to the mercy of the streets and, childlike, they seek those places which seem to give them the most fun, regardless of all impending dangers which may be attached. And in this respect a black child is just as desirous of pleasure irrespective of cost as a white child and is susceptible to the same evils. If then it is so essential to provide school facilities for the white child, and the ten beautiful school buildings they possess give evidence of this fact, it is not as necessary that his brother of a darker hue be given similar privileges and not be crowded like sardines in the three and a fraction schools they now have. It is through the schools that we expect to get useful and industrious citizens and to just such a degree as a child is trained, just so far does he strengthen his capacity for useful service to the community. It is an old, old saying about training a child the way you would have him grow, etc., but it is as true to day as it was years ago. If our little boys and girls are denied the privilege of being properly trained, then how can we expect of them that which other people exact from their children who have every advantage under the sun to "make good" when they grow up. The population here is about evenly divided between white and black and realizing the fact that both races must live together side by side, and profit by each others success or suffer from each others failure, would it not be a wiser, saner and more profitable plan to allow our children a more equitable division of the school funds. In the end is it not, as one educator has so fittingly said, by far better, more economical and cheaper to teach the little Negro boys and girls than when they grow up have to pay for prisons and police officers to handle them. Let us not remain quiet on this vital question but let us properly and intelligently beseech the powers that be to allow us at least one more school in order that our children may get this necessary training. An Henored American. When King Frederick and Queen Louise of Denmark entertained at dinner as their honored guest, Booker T. Washington, they were paying their tribute not only to the Negro race, but to the whole American people. For men like Dr. Washington do not merely reflect honor upon their race, but they reflect a greater glory upon the ideals and the institutions of their native country. In what other way could our principle of equal opportunity so nobly vindicate itself, as in its uplifting in two short generations of an enslaved and despised race into a portion of the American people capable of producing a Booker Washington?—New York World. FIRST COLORED CITIZEN CONTRIBUTES TO FUND. Editor Savannah Tribune Helps Boost New Advertising Scheme. The new advertising fund received its first contribution yesterday from a colored citizen, the donation, which was for $5, was in the form of a check, and was submitted by Sol. C. Johnson, editor and manager of THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, a weekly publication devoted to the interests of the colored people. Editor Johnson, in his communication accompanying the check, states his conviction that whatever benefit the white citizen; will in like manner help the colored citizens. Joseph F. Gray, executive officer of the Chamber of Commerce and chairman of the Canvassing Committee which has in charge the matter of completing the advertising fund, replied immediately to the communication of the colored editor commending the spirit of co-operation underlying the contribution, which he says will receive the commendation of every white citizen of Savannah. The letter of Editor Johnson follows: "Hon. Joseph F. Gray, Vice President and Secretary Chamber of Commerce, City; Dear Sir—Believing that whatever benefits the white citizens of Savannah, in like manner will the colored citizens be helped, therefore THE TRIBUNE, the organ of the colored people for the last twenty-five years, encloses its check for $5 to help the advertising fund. Editor and Manager. To which Mr. Gray replied as follows: "Sol. C. Johnson, Editor and Manager SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, City; "Dear Sir—I beg leave to acknowledge with sincere thanks receipt of your esteemed favor of the 1st inst. enclosing contribution of $5 to Savannah's new advertising fund, with the statement of your conviction that whatever, benefits the white citizens of Savannah will in like manner benefit the colored citizens, and that, therefore, THE SAVANNH TRIBUNE, the organ of the colored people of Savannah for the past twenty-five years, takes pleasure in contributing to the advertising fund. "The spirit of co-operation underlying your contribution is gratifying indeed, and will receive the commendation of every white citizen of Savannah. Very truly yours, "Joseph F. Gray. "Vice President and Chairman Executive Committee."—Savannah Morning News. National Congregational Council. Probably the most celebrated and most important meeting the Congregationalists have ever held will be attempted this month. It will be the thirteenth triennial session of the National Council of Congregational Churches. It convenes in staid old Boston and holds from the 10th, to the 20th. A more suitable and fitting back ground for this massive gathering could not have been chosen for New England has ever been hailed the Congregational centre of the country. The great men who planned this gigantic meeting have gone one step farther. They not only selected this puritonic section of the country but they also chose the city which has been a veritable Congregational mecca. That this is to be the greatest meeting this denomination has ever held seems to be evidenced on all sides by the elaborate scale on which they are making preparations. Boston has begun to get herself in readiness for the thousands of delegates from every corner of the globe who are to be in attendance at this convention. White and black, yellow, and brown will all be there together and will partake of the many special treats which are being prepared for them. They will all be one and the same, for this particular people recognize no particular color, cast or race. And to the American Negro this meeting should have a special significance, for it was through this denomination that he has directly or indirectly come into possession of some of the best schools that have been established for his welfare. Land marks of Congregationalism and the good it has done for the Negro are to be found in every section of the south. Living monuments of its excellent work are every where before our eyes and there need be mention but a few of them to convey a proper idea of the vastness of their work in the south. In the southeast there stands that good old reliable school founded by Pres. Ware, way back in the sixties, Atlanta University. In the middle south are Talladega and Tangaloo, both of which are a credit and are doing a most commendable work, while up in Tennessee is to be found Fisk University than which there is no better. And these are not all, but space will not permit of a more detailed enumeration. However, lets not forget to speak of the scores of smaller schools such as our own Beach Institute, and others that are doing inestimable good for the uplift and elevation of our people. And now since these facts have been brought afresh to our minds suppose we open wide our hearts and rejoice with those thousands Boston on this auspicious occasion: Let us, send 'our representative; Rev. W.L. Cash, off with the best wishes and hope that he will return to us, brim full of, enthusiasm and better able in soul and body to preach the praises of his denomination. Our Quarter Century Work. We have received many favorable comments from friends on passing the quarter century mark of our business. The following from our honored and constant friend, exRegister of the Treasury, J. W.

Eureka's Installation The Eureka Aid and Athletic Club held a public installation at their beautiful club rooms, Friday night, Sept. 31. The ceremonies were impressive and at the conclusion of the same the floor of the athletic room was cleared for dancing, which was continued until the wee sma' hours. The young men of the club are to be congratulated for the successful way in which this unique entertainment was pulled off. At 9:15 o'clock the ceremonies commenced and the audience was given a very pretty surprise. The lights were put out and the folding doors dividing the sitting room and the athletic room were thrown open showing the members of the club in a very pretty and artistic group in the center of the latter room, each member holding an electric sparkler or club pennant. Then, led by Mr. W. W. Munphius, the club joined in the inspiring chorus "The old Flag never touched the Ground Boys," after which the members were seated, and the following program was carried out: Reading of Proclamation by Master of Ceremonies; Prayer by Master of Devotions, P.

The Importance of Having Your Clothes Tailored To Order. The Importance of Having Your Clothes Tailored To Order. Most men who are doing things in this country today are tailor-dressed men. They are not ashamed to be seen anywhere—to stand up for the most critical examination. They know that ready-made clothes can only properly fit one man out of a hundred and, they don't want to be one of the ninety-nine others. Stop to think; has another man's suit ever fitted you, no matter what's his size? Didn't the collar stand off at the neck? Weren't the sleeves too long or too short, the back too tight, or didn't the trousers look wrong? How can you expect, then, to be satisfied with such a suit even if new. On the other hand, the merchant tailor not only fits every measure, but you have the opportunity of preserving your individuality and suiting your personality in every particular. Do yourself justice. Have your suit tailored to order. Use good material. You will appreciate it as long as you have it.

In a short time a bunch came and it bothered me so much at night I could not sleep. It kept growing larger and by fall it was as large as a hen's egg. I could not go to bed without a hot water bottle applied to that side. I had one of the best doofers I knew and he told my husband that I would have to be operated on as it was something like not sleep. It kept growing larger and by fall it was as large as a hen's egg.

George was a manly fellow, yet, surprising as it may seem, he was guilty of a grave charge, a criminal offense—theft, for had he not many times, stolen kisses from his fair sweet-heart? Maude, one of the most lovable of girls, was equally guilty as an accessory; she received the stolen property. Each seemed, to have perfect confidence in the other, however, and when sentence was pronounced by a properly qualified official, they decided, to serve their time together. They remained loyal to the end, neither making any effort to have their sentence abrogated or shortened, but during the course of their long term together several small offenses were, directly chargeable to them.—J. W. B. in Puck. Why He Wouldn't Hurry. They were riding to church and were late. Several of the party were worried and one remarked: "The audience will be waiting." "Well," observed the old pastor (who was to preach that foremoon), "don't let's get over it if we are a little, late. It reminds me of the man who was belg taken to execution. His guards were greatly exercised, over the fact, that they could not possibly get there on time. Never mind, said the poor fellow, philosophically. Don't fuss over it. The people can wait. There'll be nothing doing till I get there." — Christian Herald. Win by Being Prepared. Those who are prepared, for the worst are the ones who generally get the best of it.

ITS:GROWTH DUE TO CANALS Berlin's Experience Cited as a Powerful Argument for Improvement of Inland Waterways. Berlin, now the second city of Europe, did not begin her wonderful growth until 35 years ago, when her canals were enlarged, and then the railroads concentrated about her like spokes to a hub. All the time, however, her canals to the east to the Oder and west to the Eibe river are the nest eggs, the assured foundation of her permanent prosperity. Pittsburg has been for several decades somewhat crippled in her long distance reach, but it is only a passing cloud. She will not be bound by the ordinary limitations of artificial transportation; she wants more than is possible for railroads to do for her. The writer has seen freight unloaded in Montana direct from Pittsburg after a 4,000 miles river journey; also, he has seen Pittsburg boats deliver barge loads of glass in St. Paul, Minn. Those were cases of difficult, mostly upstream, navigation on shallow water. How comparatively easy it will be on the controlled waters of the Ohio to New Orleans needs but little reflection to understand.

In a review of the woman suffrage in New Zealand the New York Tribune says editorially that as for politics in general the moral tendency has for years been downward and that the "boss" and the "machine" and their attendant corruptions have enormously developed since votes were granted to women. Whether it is because of that or in spite of that it is injudicious to declare. It ends with the statement that the general effect upon the women themselves and the body politic seems to have been neutral. GALLOWAYS FOR ALASKA. A cattle breeding station at Kodiiah, Alaska, is working to develop the milking qualities of Galloway cattle, as they are the most hardy and best adapted to the climate. It is believed that this will be accomplished. The object will be to furnish hardy, acclimated cattle to settlers in the country at a price not higher than the cost of taking them from the United States. The coast region is well suited to the raising of cattle. It is reported from Peking that Prince Tsai Tao, the chief of the Chinese military mission, which has spent two months in visiting the principal European countries, has cut off his pigtail. The news was received with delight at Peking by the officers of the Chinese army, who feel sure that the prince, who is their commander, utilizes, means, to give them permission to follow his example.

BOGS TEND TO PROLONG LIFE Greatest Number of Age Pensioners It is curious that it is in the bog land district of Ireland that the greatest number of pensioners are to be found. Bogs are said to be antiseptic in their nature, and undoubtedly they possess great preservative qualities. Where bogs have old coins or weapons in them for years they are usually in an excellent state of preservation when brought to light. Castlewell district is famous, for its bogs; the smell of the turf seems to be everywhere, and it is there that most pensioners have qualified under the new act. The list already passed totals 2,800. In no part of England or Scotland could a similar instance be found. Then, in Gurteen district there is another great wild strip of moorland, and there, too, old age pensioners abound. In one old case in that locality there, are five pensioners in one house, two brothers, two sisters, and a wife. They will have $325 a year coming to them under the new act. On a piece of reclaimed bog, they have passed their calm and uneventful lives, and now this great boon drops in to them and their old days will close in comfort and in a prosperity that they never knew before. These bog lands are now proved to have prolonged the lives of so many people that, perhaps, the time may come when distinguished persons will resort to these places for their health-giving properties. RECOVERED A LOST MINE. A real lost mine, which has been the will o' the wisp of miners since the Indian uprising near here in 1877, was located this week by Hank Humiston, a miner who has spent many weary months and has traveled hundreds of miles up and down the Salmon river in search of the spot. His find is a dike a hundred feet wide, which runs high in values. It is composed of gravel and tale, which preliminary tests show to contain gold in paying quantities. The loss of the mine reads like a romance. Griff Roberts found it in 1877, and none but himself and a few boon companions knew of its location. Then came the uprising and the majority of the white miners and settlers were slaughtered. Roberts escaped up Slate creek and carried a white woman with him. While it was believed he escaped he never returned, and his mine was not again located until Humiston made his strike.—Grangerville correspondence Spokane Herald. FROM FARM TO THRONE. Prince Nicholas of Montenegro. who was declared king of that country recently, has a wife who is the daughter of a farmer, thus making her a plebeian queen in the eyes of foreigners. Queen Milena is, however, a very intellectual woman and will look after her queenly duties in a way that will, no doubt, give satisfaction to all. She is the mother of nine children, one of whom is the queen of Italy; two are wives of Russian grand dukes, and one the wife of Prince Francis Joseph of Battenberg. She is still a very beautiful woman. WHY THEY LIKED HIM. The superintendent of a lunatic asylum was strolling around the grounds a few weeks ago after his appointment when one of the inmates came up to him and, touching his hat, exclaimed: "We all like you better than the last one, sir." "Thank you," said the new official, pleasantly. "And may I ask why?" "Well, sir," replied the lunatic, "you see, you are more like one of us!" THE OBSTINATE WEATHER MAN.

There are said to be 130,000 foreign waiters employed in London. When the employees of the Montteleons hotel receive their next pay envelope they are going to find enclosed a new service code which the hotel will adopt. The following extracts from it give an excellent idea of what will be expected of the employees in the future: "The Hotel Montteleone is operated for the benefit and convenience of its guests. "Without guests there could be no Hotel Montteleone. "Never be perky, pungent or fresh. The guest pays your salary as well as mine. He is your immediate benefactor. "A man may wear a red necktie, a green vest and tan shoes and still be a gentleman." "The stranger in cowhide boots, broad brim and rusty black hat may be president of a railroad or a senator from over the ridge. "You cannot afford to be superior or sullen with any patron of this hotel. I said so."—New Orleans Picayune. A timely word softly spoken is more effective than outbursts of profane anger. A fat man absorbed a whole seat on a car the other morning. There were several passengers standing in the aisle, but the fat man continued the monopoly. Perhaps his breakfast disagreed with him. Perhaps his wife had asked him for money. Anyway, there he sat. Right beside this selfish fellow two young men were standing. "I saw a good thing in Life the other day," said one, and his voice was loud and clear. "Something especially good?" inquired the other. "Yes. Picture of a big porker with his feet in a trough and underneath it this legend: 'I was born a hog—what's your excuse?' Seems to me it would be a good thing to have the picture printed on cards to hand around." But by that time the fat man had moved over. SOLDIER'S CLEVER QUIP. Not long ago Chaplain John A. Ferry of the Tenth infantry at Fort Benjamin Harrison was entertaining a party of friends, says the Indianapolis Star. Among those present was Lieut. George B. Jones, medical reserve corps, who is one of the surgeons at the post hospital, and who is a recognized wit among the officers of the post. Chaplain Ferry owns a piano player. He had been entertaining his guests with the instrument and then he invited Lieutenant Jones to play it. Jones sat down before the instrument, and handled it like an expert. "Well," said Chaplain Ferry, laughing, and turning to others of his guests, "I didn't know he was such an expert pianist. Watch him use his hands, will you?" "Oh, that's nothing," rejoined the surgeon, quickly, "I played with my toes when I was three months old." A SAVING OF MONEY. According to the Electric Railway Journal, one of the best investments which it is possible for a man to make is when he spends five cents for a street car ride of ordinary length, say three miles or so. The man who earns as little as 15 cents an hour for his labor, would, in walking to his work, consume at least ten cents' worth of time, instead of the five cents spent on the street car. In addition to this, the nickel surrendered to the street car company is an assurance to him against accident, while if he rides in an automobile, or even if he walks to his work, he would be obliged to pay all damages in case of accident. Furthermore, the time spent on the street car can be spent in reading. HUNTERS SPEND MONEY. It is said that $2,500,000 is spent annually on hunting in Ireland.

LET THE HUSBAND REFLECT Man Was Created Before Woman and is but a Rough Draft, Says Parisian A clever Parisian woman has reported skillfully to the satirist who prepared, a set of commandments for wives, one of which ran in this strain: "Now and then acknowledge gracefully that, thy husband knows more about things than them. After all, thou art not infallible." The woman replied with a set of commandments for husbands, one of which exhorts men as follows: "Woman has a right to have whims; it is the privilege of her sex. Never put her out. She might have hysterics, which would impair her health and cost the money in doctor's bills." She prepared another, which said: "Remember, good man, that thy wife is thy superior in grace, beauty and refinement. Therefore always worship at her feet." Accordingly, this woman contends not for the equality of man and woman, but emphasizes the fact that she is superior to man. She has written another rule for man that says: "If, good man, thou desirest mountain air ask thy wife to come to the seaside; she immediately will propose a holiday in Switzerland." Her last rule says: "Man was created before woman as a preliminary sketch for the masterpiece. Remember, then; O'husband, that thou art but a rough draft." HACK 1 THE TIME SERGEAN BAKER Mrs. Gossipe—You never hear me talking.about.myself. Mrs. Blunte—No; you're too busy talking.about other people. A rare example of feminine nerve comes from England. Anxious to obtain unique photographs for sale in connection with a church, Miss Lydia Akiens, nineteen, climbed a steeplejack's ladder to the top of the spire, of St. Mark's church, Leicester, which is more than 200 feet high. Haying reached the top, Miss Akiens, camera in hand, coolly walked, around the narrow, unprojected, staging and snapshotted some fine views of the town. So awe-inspiring was the sight that many of the crowd-below walked away, declaring they could watch her no longer. Finally the intrepid snap-shotter caused tremendous excitement among the onlookers when she climbed another ladder and reached the weather vano, on which she rested for some minutes. Miss Akiens claims the championship as woman steeplejack of the world. OLD-TIME DELICACIES. It is well to remember that many plants, which once were used as vegetables have been allowed to drop out of off bills of fare. Our forefathers, for instance, sometimes dined off elder top and burdock root, and the early shoots of the hop were considered a great delicacy and were cooked and caten as asparagus. Walter Jeffold, in his "Highways adn Byways in Kent," recalls a time when Kentish children could "tell of many pleasant hours spent among the hedges in search of the wild hop and of the wholesome suppers made upon the well earned treasure, ere they learned to think their food the better, for being rare and costly."—London Chronicle.

Seven poor children, four girls and three boys, all about ten years old, went to a nearby seashore resort, in charge of two women, for a day's outing. The funds for the picnic were provided by two boys who sell papers and who live in one of the two houses from which the excursion party was recruited. One of the women in charge of the children said that the boys had arranged the outing "of their own accord, and the remarkable thing is this: They are not good boys by any means and one of them is probably the naughtiest boy, in the neighborhood. But we think that when boys do little things like this they will come out all right."—New York Tribune. FOR HEADACHE—Hicks!

Everybody knows the great orange red butterflies with bold black bands and white dots that come sailing slong by the thousands in.the au- tumn. But it is not everyone who imows that they migrate like the birds in the fall, flying all the way from Canada to Cuba and taking other long flights so that they get into the sunny south for the winter. They have extraordinary power on the wing and have been seen flying at sea 500'miles from land. . Vast flocks of hundreds of thou- sands on their way southward settle on trees and bushes like a swarm of bees, says St. Nicholas, and as they are pretty much the color of certain autumn foliage you might easily pass their roosting place without no- ticing them. They rest for the night and“are off in the morning as soon as their wings are dry. With all the enemies of insect life one wonders that there are so many butterflies left at the end of the summer. But though our Monarch is apparently a fat, tempting morsel he is distaste- tal to birds. « FACTS ABOUT GALICIA, Galicia is a country as Jarge as Scotland, witli a population one- third greater. There are 6,000,000 inhabitants, of whom perhaps rather mote than half are Poles and rath- er less than half Ruthenians. In the western half of Galicia the Poles and in the eastern half the Ruthenians are the more numerous.

RIGHT HAND A VACATION Ce How Man Who Lost Left Leg and Knew Juries Got More Dam- ages Than He Asked, “Here’s a funny thing about the relative value of a man’s right and left leg,” said the lawyér. “Not long ago I was called upon to con: ‘duct the cas¢ 6f a man’ who'had lost his left leg in a railroad accident. ‘He was laid up in the hospital for several, weeks. While there the :ut- ter uselessness of his right hand caused nitich comment among the doctors and nurses. Other left- handed patients they had. met were able at least to fight flies, but: my client’s right hand wasn’t even fit for that. * “The case came to trial, and the jury awarded him damages $500 in excess of what lie had‘asked for, be- cause, said the foreman, ‘he is left handed. * “The next day I stumbled on my man in a restaurant and found him stoking up with his right hand. - “‘That’s all right, said he. ‘It isn’t a new accomplishment. I could do it all the time. Can use one hand as well as the other, always could, but after I lost my left leg ‘I concluded to let my right hand take a vacation. You see, I know the ways of juries. I cannot follow their reasoning, but I have studied their verdicts, and I have observed that while the right leg is consid- ered of more value to the average man than his left leg, the left leg fetches a boom price if it belongs to a left-handed man. I can’t see the connection, but juries can. You heard what that jury of mine said? Well, they always reason that way.” JUDGE FOR YOURSELF. ce h el 1 A om Aryecs () aNog> i 4 As] Phd Hi uy i i i. wy At\ . ‘Se * Ly nay wf . = Gronse Racer.

Let us heed well the points of fellowship that not only put forth the hand to-save a falling brother, but also to assist him to rise to higher planes of life and useful- ness. My-conaeption of Masonry is that jt fs an absolutely necessary working forcé in ‘the betterment of the world’s condition—that no greater misfortune fo man can be concelyed than the loss of Masonic Influence would be, and that in‘so far ds it fails to make uni- versal mran better and happier, wita- in reasonable Nmitations, it falls to be Masonry, and if that is a true conception, it wants to increase its unity, to mass its. resources and -to make the name of Mason mean one- ness of fraternal purpose and an ab- solute union of fraternal effort.

Moreover, the brethten to whom the investiga- tion is eptpusted are usually too busy with othér affairs to properly attend to this duty. The result is what might be expected—men are admitted who should not be. While it would be unreasonable to expect that no undesirable person would gain entrance, there has been unquestionably too great a laxity at times on the part of those recommend- ing candidates for s:asonry. No broth- er should recommend a person to his lodge without ne has good reason -to believe that the person s0 recommend- ed is worthy to be made a Mason.— Masonic Chronicler. BEACH INSTITUTE FLINGS WIDE ITS DOORS—TEACHERS . ARE, IN HARNESS FOR THE = ® TERM. | Before these words shall have reached the public eye or claimed the public attention historic old Beach will have again flung wide its doors to all who are qualified to enter. _ ‘There is nothing new in the open- ing for this is a part of. its history that is known to youth and age. But there is’ something new in the ‘meth- ods, in the plans and “theories. Latter day apostles of education ad- yocaté industrial training as an im. portant part of an education. Indeed, they credit jt a prerequisite to the completeness of an. education—a rounding out of the sum total of an education. ‘This being the case, no school of the ,pretensions of Beach Institute is considered of miuch weight unless this phase of an educa- tion is embodied in Its curriculum. ‘The school is considered late of metb- ods ‘and not up to.date,*from which ane industriaY idea is eliminated. As a cOnsequence Professor Weld has equipped Beach institute with the_re- quisites necessary in the develop- ment of the idea. He has, at the same time, raised sthe standard of the literary department so that grad- uates from Beach have all of the high normal training. The school with all of its appli. ‘ances is open to the inspection of the public and it is the desire of the ‘man- agement that the community see and know:. Time spent in an inspection ot the yarloys departments of the gchool‘would not be wasted. For the splendid products*of the handicraft of the boys and~girls, the earnest la, dor of the teachers together -with The modern Saulpments used would de light-tlie eye and rejoice the. hearts of, eyen-artasual observer.

But in’ apite of this orin addition to it, the Institution stands, today, in the light of inOdern educational ideas, Better prepared to make of its’ stu- dents useful ‘citizens than ‘ever bér fore. This does notesay ‘that ‘the teachers are more deeply consecrated to the work than those who\precéded them, nor that ‘the students are more desirous of development. To the con- trary, tt ig‘that the evolution of ideas and methods, with the universal prog- ress in every -walk and~work of life demanded .a change. The teachers and the school, therefore, must keep. pace with modern ideas, |. Throughout’ the entire scacol, there is visible the marks »f modern in- struction The teachers are ‘commen- surate to the new duties {imposed upon them by these modern Ideas. The students are the beneficiaries. Coupled with the theoretical knowl- edge they receive is the bread-winn- ing knowledge—that - knowledge’_that @oes not balk at competition. Finally) it will not be,the case that a graduate, failing to get’a job at, school teaching will remain idle. For the use of the bammer and saw, the plane and the chisel, the needle and the cooking stove, is being carefully. taught. Of course there will always be obstacles in the way even with a knowledge of these trades; but obstacles fade fin- ally before effort. If one has the ‘goods the demand for taem will come i$ sure as daylight follows “dawn.| Professor Weld and his efficient corps of teachefs are delivering to the stutlents the goods, not . perish- ables, but such as will: remain with them forever and grow brighter from| use. i repeat, it is the duty of every pa- tron of this school to visit it and see the things which can scarcely be be- Heved without aaving seen them. It is the duty of every citizen to keep up interest “in this great school and in those who are so splendidly con; ducting it. We should remember that this old school is a relia—a veritable monument to the patriotic dead whose theories are still operative through the agencies which are pushing their ideas on.
